Nearly a year after five members of a Teaneck family were killed in a horrific car crash on a Delaware highway, the driver that slammed his truck into the family's minivan pleaded guilty to their deaths.
On Wednesday afternoon, Alvin Hubbard III of Maryland pleaded guilty to five counts of operation of a motor vehicle causing death, one for each member of the Trinidad family. Hubbard also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault for injuring Mary Rose Ballocanag, the lone survivor of the Trinidad family; Brian Turner, the passenger in Hubbard's pickup; and Brian Kern, a man in another car that was involved in the crash.

Sentencing for Hubbard is scheduled for September after a pre-sentencing investigation. According to the charges, Hubbard was driving on Delaware Route 1 and did not give "full time and attention" while driving, which was negligent behavior that caused the crash.
The maximum sentence is 14 years and a $3,450 fine.
Hubbard's guilty pleas come a month shy of the first anniversary of the devastating crash that left a father and his four daughters dead. The fatal crash happened at the end of a Fourth of July family vacation.
On July 6, Ballocanag, her husband, Audie Trinidad, and their four daughters — Kaitlyn, 20, whom everyone knew as Nikki; Danna, 17; and 13-year-old twins Allison and Melissa — were driving back Teaneck from a family vacation in Maryland. As they made their way down Delaware Highway 1, Hubbard veered his pickup truck across the grassy median, slamming into the Trinidads' car, killing Audie Trinidad and his daughters instantly, authorities said.
Ballocanag was the only survivor. Calls to her were not immediately returned.
For Danny Trinidad, Audie's brother and Ballocanag's brother-in-law, Hubbard's pleas were a welcome next step, but not enough to heal the still-fresh wounds.
"To tell you the truth, I'm somewhat relieved but not fully relieved," Trinidad said. "I don't think 14 years is enough. I miss my brother and my nieces. Every day during the night I still think of them. I still cry. Every time I see an accident, I get flashbacks."

The crash and its aftermath put the Teaneck community in a haze of grief, with classmates, neighbors, friends and family remembering the Trinidads fondly. A makeshift memorial to the family was built on their porch, with mementos from classmates and volleyball teammates.
The crash came just weeks after neighboring Paramus buried two of its own who were killed in a school bus crash on Route 80 in Mount Olive.
Recovery for Ballocanag was painfully slow and difficult. For weeks after the accident, she was bedridden at Christiana Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware. In the crash, she suffered five fractures to her arms and legs. She underwent six surgeries, and complications arose that kept her hospitalized. As of February, her left arm was still not functional, said Danny Trinidad, who works as a nurse.
When she eventually returned to New Jersey, Ballocanag would undergo three hours of grueling physical therapy each day to help her move to a wheelchair from the bed. And in a press conference last July at a rehabilitation center in Saddle Brook, Ballocanag, fighting through tears and the pain of her injuries, announced she would file a lawsuit against Hubbard.
Danny Trinidad said he awaits the September sentencing, hoping Hubbard receives the maximum term for the deaths of his family.
"Hopefully we can put this behind us," Trinidad said. "And hopefully he [Hubbard] gets the maximum. Because right now I can't find it in my heart for any forgiveness."

China posts rare trade deficit as February imports surge 44.7%
The increase, only published in yuan-denominated terms, boils down to the need to feed a months-long construction boom, driven by commodities from iron ore and copper to crude oil and coal
ByFang Cheng | Sue-Lin Wong
China unexpectedly posted a rare trade deficit in February as imports surged far more than expected to feed a months-long construction boom, driven by commodities from iron ore and copper to crude oil and coal.
Imports in yuan-denominated terms surged 44.7% from a year earlier, while exports rose 4.2%, official data showed on Wednesday.
That left the country with a trade deficit of 60.63 billion yuan (US$8.79 billion) for the month, the General Administration of Customs said.
Customs has not yet published dollar-denominated trade figures, on which most economists and investors base their forecasts and analysis.
Apart from currency fluctuations, higher commodity prices and the timing of the long Lunar New Year holidays early in the year also may have distorted the data. Most of China's commodity imports grew strongly in volume terms from a year earlier, but dipped from January.
Still, economists say the upbeat readings reinforced a growing view that economic activity in China and globally picked up in the first two months of the year.
That could give China's policymakers more confidence to press ahead with oft-delayed and painful structural reforms such as tackling a mountain of debt.
Containing the risks from years of debt-fueled stimulus and heavy spending has been a major focus at the annual meeting of China's parliament, which began on Sunday.
China's first-quarter economic growth could accelerate to 7% year-on-year, from 6.8% in the last quarter, economists at OCBC wrote in a note on Monday, while adding that the pace may ease starting in spring.
"We suspect that this largely reflects the boost to import values from the recent jump in commodity price inflation, but it also suggests that domestic demand remains resilient," Julian Evans-Pritchard at Capital Economics said in a note.
"Looking ahead, we expect external demand to remain fairly strong during the coming quarters, which should continue to support exports."
But he added that it was unlikely the current pace of import growth can be sustained as the impact of higher commodity prices will start to drop out of the calculations in coming months.
Analysts polled by Reuters had expected February shipments from the world's largest exporter to have risen 12.3% in dollar-terms, an improvement from a 7.9% rise in January.
Imports had been expected to rise 20%, after rising 16.7% in January. Both export and import growth were seen at multi-year highs.
Analysts were expecting China's trade surplus to have risen to US$25.75 billion in February, versus January's US$51.35 billion, with growing attention on its large trade surplus with the United States as new US President Donald Trump ramps up his protectionist rhetoric.
China has not posted a trade deficit in dollar terms since February 2014.
China has trimmed its economic growth target to around 6.5% this year, Premier Li Keqiang said in his work report at the opening of parliament on Sunday. The economy grew 6.7% last year, the slowest pace in 26 years.
As in 2016, China did not set a target for exports in 2017, underlining the uncertain global outlook, but Li said China will take steps to steady exports this year.
China's shipments to the United States rose 11.5% in February in yuan terms, compared to a year earlier. It imports from the US rose 41.0% .
The yuan has lost about 5% of its value against the dollar since early 2016.
In the early days of his presidency Trump hasn't made good yet on his campaign pledges of greater protectionist measures, but analysts say the specter of deteriorating US -China trade and political ties is likely to weigh on confidence of exporters and investors worldwide.
The US International Trade Commission said last Friday it had made a final finding that the US industry was being harmed by the dumping and subsidization of imports of carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from China.
A government adviser said last month that China's exports would likely return to growth this year, as commodity prices stabilize and the impact of the appreciation in the US dollar is gradually absorbed.

dc.description.abstract Introduction: The question of ventilation although an old one, must be constantly bought to our minds or we grow careless and do not give it the attention it deserves. It is also a question, the principles of which are not well understood by the majority of people. In order that we may do our part to remedy a large amount of the injury which is done by living in ill-ventilated homes, either through ignorance of the laws of health or carelessness, it is necessary for us to study the conditions under which thorough ventilation is secured. One of the most important things to be considered, is the air and its composition. The earth is surrounded by a covering from fifty to five hundred miles in depth, which we call the atmosphere. This consists of the air which becomes rarer and rarer as we ascend and less able to support life. The chief constituents of the air when pure, are oxygen and nitrogen, found in the proportion, by weight, of seventy-seven parts of nitrogen and twenty-three parts of oxygen in every hundred parts air and, by volume, of four parts of nitrogen to one part of oxygen. Besides these, the air contains small quantities of water in the form of vapor; ammonia; three parts in ten thousand parts of air; the same amount of carbon dioxide; one part of ozone in seven hundred thousand parts of air; and nitrous and nitric compounds.

Єго́р Степа́нович Главче (; 1871—1919) — дерматовенеролог; доктор медичних наук.

Життєпис
Народився 21 (9) січня 1871 року в Кишиневі. Закінчив медичний факультет Московського університету в 1895 році, працював у шкірній клініці Москви, з 1900 в Одесі. 1903 року займався в Бернській клініці, досліджуючи вплив сифілісу на лімфатичні вузли. 1903 року отримав звання доктора медицини.

Будучи секретарем Одеського дерматологічного товариства, у 1911 році організував перші публічні читання про венеричні хвороби і проституцію.

1912 року першим ввів в практику превентивне лікування; для ранньої діагностики пропонував обстежувати всіх дітей та годуючих матерів, зіставляючи клінічні дані з реакцією Вассермана.

Створив першу в країні поліклініку для хворих на шкірні, венеричні та сечостатеві хвороби — розробив та представив у міську управу план організації дерматовенерологічної поліклініки — відкрита 18 серпня 1917 року. В поліклініці працювало 6 лікарів, функціонували 3 лабораторії — вассерманівська, бактеріологічна та хімічна; зуболікарський кабінет, операційна та маніпуляційний кабінет.

Праці Єгора Главче присвячені питанням діагностики та лікування сифілісу. Широко впроваджував профілактичні заходи для боротьби з венеричними хворобами — диспансеризацію і запобіжне лікування.

Помер 17 липня 1919 року.

Новим головним лікарем був призначений Михайло Мгебров.

1922 року поліклініку перетворено на Одеський дерматовенерологічний науково-дослідний інститут ім. Главче. В подальшому — частково виділено в Одеський обласний шкірно-венерологічний диспансер і сучасна кафедра дерматології і венерології Одеського національного медичного університету.

Uruguay Continues to Break African Hearts
By Glen Levy @glenjlJuly 02, 2010
Two weeks ago, Uruguay knocked the fight out of Bafana Bafana by beating the host nation 3-0. And now, due to some "gamesmanship" (if we're being kind), the South Americans have defeated Africa's remaining hope, Ghana, in controversial fashion.
After canceling each other out with goals either side of the break, Uruguay definitely looked like the more likely winners. But history seemed to be repeating itself as Ghana held on for extra time — just as in their second round clash with the U.S. last Saturday — before having the best of the 30 minute period. Ghana's coach had allowed his players to stay out in Sun City until 1am this morning and perhaps other managers want to take note (paging Mr. Capello) as the side suddenly took the game to Uruguay, with an incredible spirit (and fitness) shining through.
As the game entered extra time in extra time, one of the World Cup's most dramatic ever incidents took place (and that's not mere hyperbole. It really was, wasn't it?). Uruguay's striker Luis Suarez, no stranger to foul play it is fair to say, handled the ball on the line to deny substitute Dominic Adiyiah a certain Ghana winner, which would have made them the first African side to reach the last four of the tournament. Suarez saw red but opposing striker Asamoah Gyan, who had already scored two penalties in the competition, smacked the crossbar with literally the last kick of the game. And with that, you had to fear the worst for the Black Stars as the game entered the dreaded penalty kicks.
To give Gyan his due, he had the bottle to take his side's first spot-kick and absolutely drilled it home. If only his team mates John Mensah and Dominic Adiyiah had shown similar poise but their efforts were easily saved by Fernando Muslera. Sebsatian Abreu sealed Uruguay's unlikely victory with an audacious chip, which sends his side to Cape Town on Tuesday to meet Holland, who out-smarted the fancied Brazilians in Friday's first quarter-final (and don't mention penalties to the Dutch. Never a good idea).
But the post-match analysis is certain to revolve around Suarez and his deliberate handball. On the one hand (if you'll excuse the pun), his gamble was a stroke of genius that has kept the 100/1 shots in the running, taking them to their first World Cup semi-final since 1970. And while he's now banned from the game (and will be a huge loss for Uruguay, especially as he plays his club football in the Netherlands for Ajax), he would be eligible for the final as it's just a one match ban. If we can play fantasy football, it's a shame we can't play fantasy football rules: allow yourself to imagine a World (Cup) where the laws of the game would have given Ghana an automatic goal thus rendering the Uruguayan's cheating (for that is what it was) irrelevant. Perhaps FIFA will further punish Suarez with a two match ban to insure that his participation in this World Cup is over (if only for his celebration near the tunnel upon seeing Gyan miss his kick), no matter what happens on Tuesday.
As a life-long fan of football, it's undeniable that this World Cup won't just be known for bringing the greatest show on earth to Africa, but for exposing the fact that the referees are in need of extra help, diving still gets players sent off and the cruelty of penalties can lead to justice not being served. "The story of the Black Stars has redeemed the image of Africa," ANC chairwoman Baleka Mbete had remarked on the eve of the game. "On your shoulders rest the football dreams of mother Africa." For Asamoah Gyan, that dream has become a nightmare.


Dark City: Beneath The Beat is a documentary capturing the sound scape of the rising Baltimore club music and dance scene.
74 backers pledged $4,277 to help bring this project to life.
Dark City: Beneath The Beat is a documentary capturing the rising Baltimore Club music scene by highlighting some of the leading producers, recording artist, dancers, performance venues, and djs within the local community.
Through the voices of a community overshawdowed by hate, drugs, and violence music and dance have become symbols of hope and a way "out of the streets." Due to the lack of recreation, safe places, and resources for Baltimore city artists to explore their creativity, vacant parking lots, basketball courts, closets, and bedrooms have become the breeding grounds for rising talent. For Murder Mark , a young aspiring producer, Baltimore club music is a reflection of the state of mind of the city "Rough, Dirty, Hard-Hitting...The Struggle."
Dark City features the raw stories of a community that has been robbed and overlooked by the mainstream music industry. The sounds and influence of Baltimore club music and hip-hop can be heard throughout some of today's billboard charting records. Major label artist and producers such as Will I Am, Kanye West, P. Diddy, MIA , Beyonce and many more have kept their ears to the brewing streets of Baltimore city anticipating Baltimore club music as the next big musical genre to hit the world.
Dark city sponsor Artistland Productions has a diversified, talented network composed of writers, artists, graphic designers, videographers, entertainers, fashion designers, web developers, philanthropists, and business professionals. Artistland supports youth and provides networking resources for the community at large. We are a community of driven, dedicated young people with the support of well-established community members who have shown interest in our endeavors.
Due to production costs for video equipment rentals, the completion, promotion and success of this project will rely on your donations. Your support will contribute to promoting and encouraging the exposure of the talent of Baltimore City and placing Baltimore club music on the map along with other major musical genres!
We appreciate your willingness to help us in this positive venture to make dreams come true. As a supporter, you can assist us in some of the following ways: provide guidance on how to effectively market our vision to others, suggestions on how to make the many things that we aim for a reality, financial support, and advice on how securing more funding through grants, donations, and sponsorships.
Dark City is scheduled to premiere June 7, 2012 at the Creative Alliance Patterson Theatre in Baltimore, MD.
BONUS Pledge: Pledge $30 and receive a free Dark City Tee and copy of the completed documentary!

As I understand, --jars option should serve the following driver across the cluster, but for some reason, workers can't find it. (if I'm not mistaken)
Here are some code fragments where I'm accessing postgres
# get `attribution_orders` df and register it as table so we can query it
orders = sqlc.read.jdbc(postgres_url, "attribution_orders")
sqlc.registerDataFrameAsTable(orders, "attribution_orders")

# processing...

# write processed data back to postgres table
sales_cycles = sqlc.createDataFrame(mapped)
sales_cycles.write.jdbc(postgres_url, 'scs', mode='overwrite')

So am I doing something wrong? How can I distribute the postgres driver and access it across the cluster? Thanks!

A: I believe this is a classloader issue, instead of adding the jar using --jars try adding it via yarn.application.classpath in yarn-site.xml.

One of Don Williams' Best Country Songs "Endless Sleep"
http://www.brooklynvegan.com/country-star-don-williams-rip/
Speaking of talent and great music, Don Williams can give you all. He is one of the best country artists that we have had. He might not physically with us, but he left music that we could remember him. One of the greatest hits he performed is "Endless Sleep."
Endless Sleep…
Dolores Nance and Jody Reynolds wrote the words and lyrics of "Endless Sleep." Don Williams recorded and released the song in 1973 under his album "Don Williams Volume One." The album includes his top charting singles "Amanda," "I Recall A Gypsy Woman," and many more.
Don Williams…
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/don-williams-countrys-gentle-giant-dead-at-78-202607/
Don Williams was known for his title "Gentle Giant," because of his imposing height and warm, smooth bass-baritone voice, soft tones. But, all throughout his career, he has established two more things, consistency, and great songs.
Back in 1971, Williams went back to music and signed a contract as a songwriter for Jack Clement to Jack Music Publishing Company. He recorded demos for songwriter-producer Allen Reynolds, who later went on to help projects for Crystal Gayle, Garth Brooks, and many more.
However, other artists were reluctant to record some of Williams' song. With this, Jack Clement decided to sign him up as an artist to his JMI Records. He then recorded his very first track "Don't you Believe." In 1974, Williams released his song "We Should Be Together" which peaked at No.5. Later that year, his song "I Wouldn't Want to Live If You Didn't Love Me" became his No.1 hit.
https://www.tori.ng/news/73187/legendary-country-music-singer-don-williams-is-dea.html
In the course of his career, he had a total of 17 hits that became number 1. Only 4 of his songs didn't make it to top 10.
Truly, Don Williams made songs that affect millions of people around the globe. Even artist look up to the Gentle Giant as their enormous influence.
Wherever Don Williams right now, his legacy and work of arts will continue to flourish. It will influence more people inside and outside of the country music industry.

Kanye West Performs "Black Skinhead" & "New Slaves" On 'SNL' Season Finale: Watch
Carl Williott | May 18, 2013 9:46 pm
One night after premiering "New Slaves" on 66 different building facades in 10 cities, and hours after the world learned his new album will be called Yeezus (seriously), Kanye West appeared as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live's May 18 season finale. For the first song he debuted "Black Skinhead," and it was an intense, angry and focused performance. Yeezy ranted with fuzzed out vocals over an industrial racket as menacing black-and-white images and price tags flashed on a screen behind him.
There was word that some stuff on Yeezy's new album is screamy and sounds like Nine Inch Nails, and this track certainly delivers on both of those fronts. With his unhinged European shows, the recent paparazzi rants and the vitriol of "New Slaves," West is clearly in a volatile and exciting creative space. He's a mad scientist, and that's why we put up with his bullshit.
Watch "Black Skinhead" up top, and check out his performance of "New Slaves" below.
West also tweeted photos of the lyrics, including the opening screams, and his references manages to range from Lebron James ("My homey was number one draft pick") to the Battle of Thermopylae ("I keep it 300 like the Romans").

Residency Program /
Core Curriculum & Rotations /
Clinical pathology training emphasizes developing residents for the role of effective consultant to clinicians regarding appropriate test ordering and interpretation, with the goal of being integrated members of the healthcare delivery team. Also emphasized is the role of the medical director in ensuring the delivery of high quality laboratory testing to produce the best patient outcomes within a framework of fiscal responsibility.
Rotation Details
The major core rotations (hematopathology, chemistry, and microbiology) are structured as 3-month blocks in the second year of AP/CP training, with an additional advanced month in each area scheduled in either the third or fourth year. These blocks allow concentrated focus on each area over an extended time period and, through a process of graded responsibility, allow residents to achieve significant independence in the exercise of clinical lab duties and responsibilities. The extended rotations also allow the performance of clinical laboratory projects, such as clinicopathologic studies, quality improvement initiatives, method comparisons, and instrument validations. Presentation of these projects at national meetings and publication are highly encouraged and supported financially.
Clinical Chemistry/Toxicology
Clinical chemistry is the application of biochemical scientific knowledge and techniques for medical testing and using those results to diagnosis, prognosis, and improve healthcare. Today, clinical chemistry/toxicology plays an essential role in disciplines such as cardiac care, cancer testing, organ transplant, poisoning, forensic workplace drug testing collection, prenatal testing, diabetes management, infectious disease testing, therapeutic drug monitoring, genetic testing, and personalized medicine. As a discipline, it is a fundamental branch of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.
The Clinical Chemistry/Toxicology division performs over five million tests each year in a state-of-the-art laboratory (Wisconsin Diagnostic Laboratories) that provide 24-hour service to Froedtert Hospital, several community outpatient facilities, physician offices, long-term care facilities, and other institutions throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. Chemistry and biochemical genetics testing services are also provided at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin clinical laboratory.
Residents and fellows rotate through routine automated chemistry (high-volume testing), critical care (blood gases, stat testing), special chemistry (immunoassay for endocrine function and tumor markers), heavy metal testing, and drug analysis (therapeutic and abused drug testing) laboratories. The program is designed to provide training in the operation of a clinical laboratory, quality control and assurance, laboratory management, analytical methodologies and test interferences. The clinical interpretation and diagnostic relevance of tests are emphasized through clinical consults. Residents and fellows are actively involved in method development, test validation, and clinical and scientific investigation in any of the areas within clinical chemistry/toxicology.
The Coagulation rotation combines laboratory aspects of coagulation with clinical experience managing both adult and pediatric patients with coagulopathies. Residents will begin the rotation discussing pre-analytical variables and specimen collection issues specific to the coagulation laboratory and then throughout the month, become familiar with the instrumentation and methodologies available in our coagulation laboratories, including the BCS® and Stago coagulation analyzers and PFA-100®.
The resident will learn detailed information about available in-house tests, including the PT, PTT, fibrinogen, factor 8, antithrombin 3, factor Xa, D-dimer, and platelet function assays, mixing studies, platelet counts, and lupus anticoagulants through daily interaction with faculty and technologists. Experience with more specialty coagulation testing, including platelet aggregation studies, von Willebrand tests, factor and inhibitor assays, PF4 and ADAMTS13 assays will be provided by weekly participation in the combined Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin/Children's Hospital of Wisconsin coagulation conference. Residents will have exposure to available molecular testing as it relates to hypercoagulable work-ups. The resident will apply their acquired knowledge of coagulation testing in concentrated studies on specific disease states, including platelet hypofunction states, von Willebrand disease, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hemophilia/coagulation factor deficiencies, and thrombocytopenic and hypercoagulable states.
At the end of the rotation, aspects of laboratory management and regulation specific to a coagulation laboratory will be emphasized, using the College of American Pathologists coagulation inspection checklist as a guide. Additionally, opportunities exist for resident involvement in several clinical settings during this rotation, including the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin outpatient coagulation clinic, adult outpatient hematology clinic, inpatient benign hematology consultation service, and the transfusion medicine service.
The Clinical Cytogenetics Laboratory provides a full range of cytogenetic and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) diagnostic testing for congenital disorders, mental retardation, pre-natal and pre-implantation testing, leukemia, lymphoma and solid tumors. Uniquely, in addition, definitive DNA testing for Fragile X mental retardation or carrier status and Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome are both performed on-site by methylation analysis. Testing is performed on a variety of tissues as appropriate: peripheral blood, product of conception, skin, amniotic fluid, chorionic villus, bone marrow, lymph node, solid tumor, paraffin-embedded tissue, urine and blastomere nuclei.
The Lab remains one of the first group of about 30 national and international laboratories approved by the Pediatric (now Children's) Oncology Group (COG) to determine the cytogenetic status of pediatric leukemic patients as one of the crucial components of diagnostic and prognostic testing. It is one of a handful of laboratories nationwide to perform aneuploidy testing on pre-implantation embryos following in vitro fertilization in infertile couples. In 2002, it was chosen by the College of American Pathologists to be a referee lab for Proficiency Testing in Cytogenetics.
The Cytogenetics Laboratory Director regularly meets and consults with hematopathologists and hematologists, Surgical pathologists, pathology residents and fellows, clinical geneticists and genetic counselors and reproductive medicine staff at MCW. Residents rotating for a month process their own tissue and perform chromosome analysis to become familiar with the range of procedures and techniques. This culminates in karyotyping with a digital imaging system. Weekly rounds are attended in hematopathology and in reproductive medicine, monthly in clinical genetics wherein abnormal cytogenetics results are presented and discussed with the clinical genetics/counseling group at Children's Hospital. In a week-long stint in the first year and again in the fourth year Molecular rotation, the resident performs a batched assay for Fragile X or Prader-Willi/Angelman by DNA analysis.
Flow cytometry training is an integral part of the Hematopathology rotation, which stresses a combined diagnostic approach that synthesizes morphologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular/cytogenetic information. Residents will be exposed to the principles of flow cytometric analysis of hematologic malignancies during their 3-month junior and 1-month senior Hematopathology rotations, respectively. In addition, a 1-month Flow Cytometry elective rotation is available to those interested in expanding their knowledge base and practical skills in this area.
The flow cytometry laboratory is a state-of the art facility, which supports the MCW Cancer Center and a busy bone marrow transplant service of the Division of Hematology/Oncology. The instrumentation consists of two Becton-Dickinson FACSCanto II flow cytometers, equipped with three lasers, which allows routine 8-color analysis of 2,300 leukemia/lymphoma cases per year. All three Hematopathology faculty have extensive expertise in the immunophenotypic analysis of hematologic neoplasms, and run a busy flow cytometry research program, in addition to their clinical responsibilities.
The Hematopathology rotation at MCW consists of a 3-month block during the second year, followed by a 1-month senior rotation during the 3rd or 4th years. Because MCW/Froedtert is a tertiary referral center with a large adult bone marrow transplant program, and by virtue of the fact that we are the only academic medical center in Southeast Wisconsin, residents are exposed to a wide range and large volume of neoplastic and non-neoplastic hematologic disorders.
Teaching occurs in the context of daily signout sessions at a 10-headed microscope, including all trainees and students rotating on service at a given time, as well as through a comprehensive series of didactic lectures, monthly unknown conferences, and journal clubs. A weekly working conference around an 18-headed microscope with faculty and fellows from the division of Hematology/Oncology provides an opportunity to build professional, consultative relationships with our clinical colleagues, and also provides valuable insight into the way our work impacts the care of patients.
The overall goal of the hematopathology resident rotation is to provide broad-based training in the laboratory approach to diagnosis of hematologic disorders, both benign and malignant, as well education in the structure and function of the routine hematology laboratory. A multimodality approach is stressed, with incorporation of information from multiple sources, including clinical, hematologic, cytogenetic, flow cytometric, and molecular data. Eight-color flow cytometry analysis and interpretation is integrated into the microscope signout sessions, as well as into the final interpretations and reports. Although all resident work proceeds under the supervision of an attending pathologist, development of increasing degrees of independence and responsibility commensurate with the resident's ability and level of training is fostered.
The ultimate goal is to allow the resident to function as effective laboratory consultants to their clinical colleagues, both in the interpretation of pathologic material, as well as by providing input into the proper utilization and interpretation of laboratory tests for the patient work-up.

Resident training in microbiology is divided into two blocks taken during the second and fourth year of training. Training during the second year consists of a 3-month rotation focused on mastering diagnostic microbiology. The knowledge provides the resident with a core understanding of microbiology which is reviewed on a brief one-month rotation in the fourth year for board review.
The early phase of training emphasizes diagnostic microbiology, during which time trainees are expected to master a core of tests in diagnostic bacteriology, mycology, mycobacteriology, virology and immunology. This is most concentrated in year 2 of the program and with continued, increasing, responsibility for the resident throughout the rotation. The microbiology rotation is conducted at Wisconsin Diagnostic Laboratories, Froedtert Hospital and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin to provide the resident with experience in both pediatric and adult microbiology. Combined, the laboratories process more than 900,000 tests annually. Teaching on this rotation is accomplished through a combination of didactic teaching sessions, formal lectures, bench rotations, participation in multi-disciplinary conferences, and through daily rounds. Bench rotations during the second year include:
Mycobacteriology
While residency training is designed to provide broad coverage of all aspects of diagnostic microbiology, research projects available to the resident can be custom-tailored to accommodate individual trainee's interest in virology, bacteriology, or immunology.
This experience includes close interaction and communication with the faculty microbiologists, technologists and clinical colleagues. Trainees are expected to become competent in a wide variety of microbiological techniques, interpretation of results, and formulating recommendations for follow-up investigations of cases of special interest. Teaching sessions consist of case discussions and residents present specific topics to faculty in an informal manner.
In addition to scheduled rotations, residents attend hospital infection control meetings, clinical pathology conference, infectious diseases case conference, infectious diseases interest rounds and the microbiology-infectious diseases research conference.
During the fourth year rotation, residents will review the core competencies of microbiology and will be expected manage the clinical microbiology service in consultation with faculty attending. This will include sole responsibility for direction and management of the clinical microbiology laboratory, interacting with the clinician staff, leading daily laboratory rounds and solving day-to-day operational problems.
Molecular diagnostics is an emerging discipline within pathology which is focused on the study and diagnosis of disease through interrogation of nucleic acids and proteins within solid tissue and body fluids. In our view, molecular diagnostics is an interdisciplinary science shared between anatomic and clinical pathology.
Resident training in molecular diagnostics is divided into two blocks taken during the first and third or fourth year of training. Training during the first year consists of a 1-month rotation focused on core principles of molecular pathology and application of molecular techniques through all disciplines of pathology. The knowledge provides the resident with a core understanding of molecular techniques for use in rotations throughout training and is followed by an advanced rotation in the fourth year.
The early phase of training emphasizes diagnostic techniques, during which time trainees are expected to master a core of tests in diagnostic microbiology, hematopathology, cytogenetics, coagulation, and genetics. Specific tests to be discussed will include: viral load testing, hypercoagulation screening, Cystic Fibrosis mutation carrier screening, Fragile X testing, genotyping, respiratory virus testing, quantitative BCR ABL, and sexually transmitted disease screening.
The Molecular Diagnostics rotation is conducted at Wisconsin Diagnostic Laboratories, Froedtert Hospital and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin to provide the resident with experience in both pediatric and adult molecular diagnostics. Teaching on this rotation is accomplished through a combination of didactic teaching sessions, formal lectures, bench rotations, and participation in multi-disciplinary conferences.
Pathology residents spend three months on the Transfusion Medicine rotation. Two and a half months are spent in the hospital transfusion service at Froedtert Hospital and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, while two weeks are spent at a regional blood center, Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin.
The first month of the rotation is dedicated to learning the basic concepts of transfusion medicine. During this time, they learn laboratory practices, make daily rounds and see patient problems and are involved in therapeutic plasmapheresis.
Two weeks of the second month of rotation are spent at Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin, our regional blood supplier. During this time they are exposed to blood collections, processing, and component preparation. They are also exposed to special aspects of transfusion medicine, such as autologous and directed blood donation, the acquisition of HLA-matched platelets and granulocytes for transfusion therapy. Residents spend time in a number of reference laboratories: Platelet and Neutrophil Immunology Laboratory; Hemostasis Laboratory, HLA Laboratory, Immunohematology Reference Laboratory and a Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory.
During the third month of rotation the residents solidify their basic knowledge and begin to learn newer aspects of transfusion medicine, i.e, role of acellular oxygen carriers effect of blood transfusion on immune modulation, blood transfusion for neonates, etc.
These three months of clinical rotation are divided into one month in each of three separate years. In addition to their time spent on transfusion medicine, residents also take day call during their transfusion medicine rotations, particularly during the second and third months. Residents on Clinical Pathology night call handle all blood bank calls with a blood banks staff physician providing back up.


Fifteen years ago, my life took a dramatic turn and, at that time, it seemed to me that I had lost everything I valued. Now, however, I can safely say that the last fifteen years have given me some of the greatest experiences of my life.
One of these was working with a wolf conservation group, whereby my interest in wolves turned into a passion. Bottle feeding cubs, howling with the pack, being accepted by the Beta male (to be licked vigorously about the face by a wolf is a unique feeling indeed), re-assuring a young wolf (now a sturdy Alpha female) when she was terrified by the sound of trickling water were amongst the immense privileges I experienced. All the qualities displayed by the wolf family – including loyalty, perception, intelligence, emotional attachment – that were missing in my former life, were now all around me in abundance.
When the wolf conservation part of my life ended, it was replaced by further education, and for the first time in my life I attended university, part time for six years. This invigorated my love for literature so it was a natural progression to follow up that interest with a series of writing courses. And so here I am, at the end of that fifteen year transformation, with three new novels to be published in 2016 and a new career as an author.
This blog, The Wolf's Pen, will focus on writing and human communication skills, and how they might relate to the wolf and its communication with nature. Also, occasionally to look into how wolves are represented, and often misrepresented, within English literature.
Good luck with the blog/website Mike. I look forward to finding Hand Over Fist in the shops.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
2011-01-18 09:24:45 by admin
Provisions of the Rehabilitation Act
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which traces its origins in the U.S. government's efforts to provide rehabilitative services to military veterans after World War I, was the first civil rights law explicitly ensuring the rights of individuals with disabilities to employment and services. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act specifically prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in programs receiving federal funds. Insofar as most postsecondary institutions either directly or indirectly receive federal funds in the form of grants or financial assistance to students, they are required to adhere to Section 504's antidiscrimination requirements. Further, courts have interpreted the term "recipient of federal funds" broadly, so that institutions are subject to Section 504's mandates if any of their programs receive governmental aid (Bob Jones University v. United States, 1983). Section 504 paved the way for the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, a statute that extended many of the Rehabilitation Act's protections to the private sector. This entry reviews the provisions of the act, describes key cases that have interpreted it, and discusses its implications both for employees and for students.
Section 504's provisions are similar to those in Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, both of which forbid employment discrimination in programs that receive federal financial assistance on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Section 504 covers individuals who have physical or mental impairments that substantially limit one or more major life activities, have a record of such impairments, or are regarded as having such impairments. This definition was amended by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008, which made it clear that individuals who suffer from epilepsy, diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other ailments are protected even when measures may be taken to mitigate the effects of their conditions. Even so, the amendments specifically offer an exception so that entities can consider the mitigating effects of, for example, ordinary eyeglasses or contact lenses in determining whether visual impairments substantially limit major life activities. Major life activities include everyday tasks such as caring for oneself and performing manual tasks along with actions such as walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working. Specifically, Section 504 states that
no otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States . . . shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance or under any program or activity conducted by any Executive agency or by the United States Postal Service. (29 U.S.C. § 794)
Two major U.S. Supreme Court cases, the second of which was set in a postsecondary institution, have made it clear that individuals are otherwise qualified under Section 504's terms if they are capable of meeting all of a program's requirements in spite of their disabilities (School Board of Nassau County v. Arline, 1987; Southeastern Community College v. Davis, 1979). In order to be otherwise qualified, then, individuals with disabilities need to be able, with reasonable accommodations, to take part in programs or activities in spite of their impairments.
When individuals are otherwise qualified to participate, recipients of federal funds must make reasonable accommodations that allow those individuals to take part in desired programs or activities, unless doing so would create undue hardships on the programs. Reasonable accommodations may require adaptations to allow access—such as constructing wheelchair ramps or making doors wider, providing sign language interpreters in class, or providing extra time to complete examinations, but program officials are not required to eliminate essential prerequisites to participation or to lower their standards. In the educational context, Section 504 applies to employees, students, and others, such as parents and the general public, who may access buildings on campuses of postsecondary institutions or participate in programs that the institutions offer.
In order to succeed in discrimination claims under Section 504, employees with disabilities must prove that they were treated differently than other workers or that they were subjected to adverse employment actions because of their impairments. Employees with disabilities are unsuccessful in their discrimination claims if they cannot show that they have the skills to perform the jobs in question even when they are provided with reasonable accommodations or if their alleged disabilities are not covered by Section 504. For example, Maine's highest court rejected the discrimination suit filed by an instructor who was dismissed for violating his college's sexual harassment policy but claimed to have a sexual behavior disorder (Winston v. Maine Technical College System, 1993). The court was not convinced that a sexual behavior disorder was a covered disability. For the most part, courts do not uphold discrimination claims when employers can establish that they took adverse employment actions for nondiscriminatory reasons. Even so, the burden generally is on employers to show that they took the adverse actions for legitimate nondiscriminatory reasons.
Individuals with disabilities are considered to be otherwise qualified if they can perform all essential job requirements in spite of their impairments. Accordingly, individuals who cannot perform essential functions of their positions, such as showing up on time for teaching assignments, even with reasonable accommodations, are not otherwise qualified. For example, in the educational context, failure to meet prerequisite requirements for teaching positions would disqualify applicants even if their failures are allegedly due to their disabilities. A case from Virginia where a teacher who claimed to be learning disabled failed to pass the communications section of the National Teachers Examination after several tries is illustrative. Insofar as the plaintiff did not meet the requirements for certification, a basic condition of employment for a teacher, a federal trial court found that she was not otherwise qualified (Pandazides v. Virginia Board of Education, 1992). In its analysis, the court pointed out that the skills measured by the communications part of the examination were necessary for competent performance as a classroom teacher.
At the same time, Section 504 does not protect misconduct, even when it can be attributed to worker disabilities. In this respect courts have supported the discharges of employees who committed acts of egregious or criminal misconduct (Maddox v. University of Tennessee, 1995) or exhibited excessive absenteeism, because appropriate conduct and being present are essential functions of most positions (Linares v. City of White Plains, 1991).
Under Section 504, employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations that afford otherwise qualified employees with disabilities the opportunities to work and compete with employees who do not have disabilities. The purpose of providing accommodations is to grant employees with disabilities opportunities to lead normal lives, not provide them with special advantages. Accommodations may include minor adjustments in the employee's job responsibilities, alterations to their schedules, or changes in their physical work environment. On the other hand, employers are not required to supply accommodation if doing so would place undue burdens on the employers. However, it is the responsibility of employers to prove that requested accommodations would create an undue financial or administrative burden.
At the same time, employers are not required to make accommodations that would fundamentally alter the nature of their programs or the work duties of employees. Even so, employers could be required to reassign employees with disabilities to other vacant positions that involve tasks that they are able to carry out (Ransom v. State of Arizona Board of Regents, 1997). Still, employers need not make reassignments if no other positions are available for which employees with disabilities are qualified. Further, employers are under no obligation to create new positions or to accommodate employees with disabilities by eliminating essential aspects of their positions.
Otherwise qualified students with disabilities are entitled to reasonable accommodations that will allow them to access the programs and services available in institutions of higher education. In this respect, accommodations may need to be made in how courses of study are presented, and alterations may be necessary to allow physical access to buildings. As is the situation with providing accommodations to employees, the purpose of providing accommodations for students is to allow them to compete on an equal footing with their peers who do not have disabilities.
Institutions of higher education are not required to lower their admissions standards to accept students with disabilities. In one case, the federal trial court in Maine sustained the action of university officials who denied a transfer admission to a student with a learning disability, because he did not meet the institution's minimum grade point average requirements (Halasz v. University of New England, 1993).
Many students with disabilities have filed suits after they were dismissed from postsecondary schools for a variety of reasons, such as misconduct or failing to meet academic standards. For the most part, students have been unsuccessful where college and university officials could demonstrate the existence of legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for dismissing students. By way of illustration, the Fourth Circuit upheld the dismissal of a premedical university student who failed to maintain a minimum grade point average even though he had received accommodations for his disability (Betts v. Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, 2005). Similarly, the Eighth Circuit was convinced that university officials had a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for barring a student with disabilities who threatened a faculty member's life (Mershon v. St. Louis University, 2006).
Students with disabilities frequently request testing accommodations, such as having extra time to complete examinations or being provided with quiet spaces in which to take the tests. The purpose of testing accommodations is to allow students with disabilities to be tested effectively on their knowledge. In order to be granted accommodations, students first must establish that they have disabilities and consequently need accommodations. Students may also be required to show that the requested accommodations are actually necessary because of their disabilities.

The mao or ma'oma'o (Gymnomyza samoensis) is a passerine bird belonging to the genus Gymnomyza in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae. It is an endangered species and is endemic to the Samoan Islands.

It is a large honeyeater,  long. The plumage is dark, varying from blackish on the head and breast to olive-green on the wings and body. There is a dark greenish mark under the eye. The bill is long, curved and black in an adult and yellowish in a chick or juvenile and the legs and feet are also black. Adult birds have light blue or brown eyes whilst all juveniles have a brown iris. It characteristically bobs its tail while foraging along the trunk and branches of trees.

Nests are built at varying heights in the branches of many different tree species. A single whitish brown speckled egg is laid in a simple sticky cup nest. The single chick is in the nest for approximately 1 month prior to fledging. During this time it is fed both small vertebrates, such as geckos, and insects. After leaving the nest the juvenile remains in the core breeding territory where it is fed by the female for 2–2.5 additional months. During this time it follows the female making loud begging calls.

It is a noisy bird with beautiful loud whistling and mewing calls given most often prior to dawn and around dusk. A breeding pair also do complex duets.

It is found on the islands of Upolu and Savai'i and formerly occurred also on Tutuila but is now locally extinct in the latter. It normally inhabits mountain forest but has also been recorded in scrub and coastal coconut trees. The population, which numbers between 250-999 birds, is thought to be declining. It is threatened by destruction of the forest and the spread of introduced predators such as rats.

In December 2014, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service announced the Ma'oma'o as a candidate for ESA protection, describing the species as "a large, dusky olive-green honeyeater native to Upolu and Savaii, Independent Samoa (Samoa), and Tutuila Island, American Samoa, but now only found in small populations on the islands of Savaii and Upolu."
