"Are You Ok, Counsel?"
As I approached counsel's table today, I observed a large wad of toilet paper dangling from my worthy opponent's mouth.
The judge noticed too.
Judge: "Are you ok, counsel?"
Counsel: "Yes, Your Honor. I cut my lip on the way into the courthouse, and it's been bleeding for the past hour."
Judge: "If there's anything we can do, please let us know."
Counsel: "Well, your bailiff gave me a band-aid which has helped. I guess the joke of the day is that an unhappy client did this to me."
Judge: "That's been known to happen in this courthouse."

Drivers Agree MDCU 300 Test Session Critical
Derrick Lancaster hopes his Martinsville bad luck is in the rear view mirror.
When it comes to the MDCU 300 Lee Pulliam and Derrick Lancaster are at opposite ends of the racing spectrum.
Pulliam has won the prestigious Late Model Stock car race at Martinsville Speedway. Lancaster has never made the field. But there is one thing the pair of hard-charging weekly racers shares: an understanding of the importance of next Wednesday's day-long test session for the race.
"It's the most important thing ever," said Lancaster, a successful Christiansburg businessman who has a passion for racing. "There's no use to come to the race if you don't test. That's how important it is."
Pulliam won the MDCU 300 in 2011 and followed that with back-to-back NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national championships in 2012 and 2013. With all the success and experience, Pulliam says Wednesday's test is vital.
"The test date is extremely important to us. We get to go to Martinsville Speedway once a year. Things change so much and we're just trying to stay ahead of those changes," said Pulliam. "And that makes testing important."
Lancaster's 2014 season has been one of peaks and valleys. He got off to a strong start at the three tracks he races at regularly: Motor Mile Speedway, Lonesome Pine Speedway and Kingsport Speedway. At one point he had climbed to 13th in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national standings. Then, mid-season, he was diagnosed with Lyme disease and the bottom fell out.
"It knocked me down," Lancaster said. "I couldn't do anything."
Lancaster believes he is close to 100 percent healthy these days and is fully focused on the MDCU 300 and the day of testing.
"You've got to try everything, every aspect," Lancaster said of his team's test-day plans. "You've got to find out what's going to work best for you. We'll try a lot of different setups, some off the wall stuff, and hopefully some of it will work.
"I've never made that race. I've never had any luck there at all. I started second in a heat race a couple of times, but just never had any luck. That makes the test even bigger."
Pulliam has raced to another amazing season with 24 wins, 39 top-five finishes and 40 top-10s in 44 starts and still has a shot at a third consecutive national title. But he would love to have another of the iconic grandfather clocks that go to Martinsville Speedway race winners, and a solid test day is important to reach that goal.
"We'll work hard all day," Pulliam said of the test. "We'll try several qualifying packages. And then we'll work on long runs. It's a long race for us, so we've got to have balance all day and speed at the end. Hopefully we'll have a good hot rod for the race."
Wednesday's test session is open to the public at no charge. Grandstand gates will open at 9 a.m.
The nation's richest and most prestigious Late Model Stock race, which pays $25,000 to the winner, is sponsored by Martinsville DuPont Credit Union.
Race day will kick off on Sunday, Oct. 5 at 10 a.m. with an autograph session on the front stretch featuring the entire field of drivers. The first heat race will take the green at 12 p.m., with the 200-lap feature beginning at approximately 3 p.m.
Tickets for the MDCU 300 are on sale and may be purchased by calling 877.RACE.TIX or online at www.martinsvillespeedway.com. Adult tickets are $30 and youth 12-and-under tickets are $5.

Leaked iPhone 7 Image Shows iPhone 7 Camera Lens Bump
New leaked iPhone 7 CAD files reveal big extending camera lenses. Contrary to earlier reports, the iPhone 7 will not be flush on the rear panel. The iPhone 7 camera lens will protrude once again as it does on the iPhone 6S. Fortunately is that the iPhone 7 Plus has a double lens camera in the CAD illustration while the iPhone 7 has a larger lens than the iPhone 6S.
iPhone 7 Camera Lens
The Taiwan-based Largan Technology is apparently providing Apple with 60 percent of its camera lens requirements. Now, it appears that the exact same company is anticipating to provide a dual-lens camera to the company, potentially to diversify its supply chain and staying up to date with the innovation. The report also declares that 'Apple is most likely to look for the dual-lens camera'.
If rumours are to be thought iPhone 7 is set to make the greatest camera jump ever, by presenting the DSLR-quality pictures which can be attained by the 21-MP camera, Yes you heard it. The reports of iPhone 7 to include 21 megapixels DSLR quality camera. The general design resembles the iPhone 6S. The CAD illustration is disappointing the antenna lines. It is practically saved to state that the iPhone 7 will be just somewhat various from the iPhone 6S. The 10th anniversary of iPhone can be found in 2017 is most likely to blame for this, as I have actually detailed previously today.
Apple played enormously with the size of the iPhone by providing it a screen of 4.7 inch which seriously was rather unforeseen. Apple iPhone was simply introduced in last September and the reports of iPhone 7 have currently been cast so regarding exactly what modifications will be made in the next variation of the iPhone. Apple is also anticipated making the iPhone 7 water resistant and dustproof. The iPhone 7 will debut in September of this year.

Managed IT service is a great way for the small business to save money on their IT support costs while still getting the coverage they need. One of the ways that an MSP is able to keep their costs down is by proactive maintenance. If an MSP had to fix every computer problem a company had after it became a problem, the service would largely be untenable for the small business. Today, we look at the proactive maintenance feature of our IT management strategy and how our clients save a lot of money as a result.
JS Business Solutions Blog
There is certainty in that the small business can benefit from new technology. A problem sometimes rears its head when a business wants to improve their technology all at once and the costs associated with both implementation and downtime start to spike. For the responsible business owner, it has to be a matter of putting need over want, and instituting solutions that will work to build profitability, which will ultimately provide the capital needed to institute new technology. Today, we will look at some technology implementations that many small businesses consider, and how the implementation will bring the best return on investment.
Antivirus is one of the simplest means of protecting a computer network, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a business should overlook the benefits of having an antivirus. If a business doesn't have antivirus on its systems, it's usually because they really don't believe they are in any danger. The harsh reality emerges after a data breach. Regardless of its size, any business holds the kind of data that would draw in thieves and rogues. From Social Security numbers to credit card numbers to many other kinds of personally identifiable information, businesses possess plenty of data that can bring in a pretty penny on the black market.
Business owners have a lot on their plate. Even the smallest businesses have a lot of moving parts that need to be attended to, which all add up to a mammoth amount of stress for their owners. Perhaps most obviously, financial matters contribute greatly to this angst.

Well, next up is my oldest son. At the wonderful age of 16 (going on 17), he is the wonder of the family. How he got here, please don't really ask me. I do not have a degree in child psychology or development. I probably made so many mistakes along the way. But you need some background...
It is a mother's instinct that knows something is not right with her child. He was my first, but it was my mother who began to point out little things only a month or two after he came home. I had seen it too, but didn't know what to make of it. He needed to be swaddled. He hated bright lights and hot environments. We could never find a formula he liked and he couldn't grasp breastfeeding.
By a couple of months, he was sleeping in the basement (yes!) in a stroller. No noises with the close walls of the stroller made him relax. I hated it. The empty bassinet with custom sewn covers sat empty next to my bed, while I listened furtively to a child monitor late into the night.
But it didn't take long for me to realize. This kid was like clockwork. In fact, by the time I went back to work when he was almost a year, I handed the babysitter several sheets of paper, outlining everything he would do.
When he pooped. When he ate. How hot the bottles had to be. How thick the formula had to be. When he would sleep. I stressed to her: keep to the schedule and you will have a perfect day. Don't, well, just keep to the schedule.
Now, she must have thought I was crazy, but after two days, she said incredulously, that she had NEVER had a child stick to a schedule so perfectly in all her experience.
He began to talk. Clearly, everyone remembers "tank you" and "pease" at just around 12 months. He walked on time. Everything was going well.
Then suddenly, he began to go quiet. He rocked a little. He stopped looking at you when you called him. Soon, he stopped responding at all. You had to go up to him and talk to the back of his head. After awhile, he flapped, sitting and rocking in a baby rocker he was way too old for. He never picked up any crayons, pens or markers and doodled. He played with the manual can opener. He became preoccupied with trains.
In NY, parents start their little ones off early. By 2 1/2, he was in a daycare/preschool. Within six months, he was out. Wandered around too much, they said. Just left in the middle of class. Nearly left the building. We were back to babysitters.
By 4, he only whistled, grunted and pointed. Growled when you couldn't figure out what he wanted. He wore the same clothes until I hid them and said I couldn't find them, hoping he would attach himself to something new. Went to bed like clockwork and woke the same way. There was no eye contact, no kisses and never a hug. No smiles. He was never aggressive or hurful. Just a little wandering robot playing with his fingers.
At this point, I have to interject that this was the lowest point of my life as well. Within six months, I would lose my job, my marriage, my parents (seven weeks apart) and come to realize that my boy may have something called autism, something I saw on PBS late one evening. Oh yes, and I was pregnant with my 2nd son.
I am going to fast forward through the really hard years, raising two chldren as a single parent for 10 years. My son not accepted in various schools for very long. He had such problems with sensory sensitivities-the bells, chairs moving, people scratching their pencils on paper-drove him crazy.
We moved twice, saw loads of doctors who spat out lines like jackpot slot machines. Lines like, he may never improve (remember this was '95-'96), he would need years of therapy (not covered by any insurances) and you need to get on this or that waiting list for services. And, oh yeah, file for disability. *Sigh*
I remember asking God for one thing. Give me five good years, Lord. Give me five good, long years, and I will prove this kid could learn.
We finally landed in Maryland in 1999. By this time, I had the single mother thing down to a science. And, I knew how to ask questions. "Where does everyone else go?" "Who has a good program?" We ended up at Kennedy Krieger. Test after test finally revealed a diagnosis. PDD/Austism. It would be several more years before it was upgraded to Asperger's Syndrome.
In between is a blur I don't completely remember. Every moment, I poured something into his little thin body and mind. Language, music, news, jokes, colors; anything that got him to make eye contact, make a sound, ask for something with words, we repeated over and over.
One story always sticks out. Sorry, I wish I could remember exactly how old he was, but it escapes me. I remember a class assignment on the number zero. The assignment sheet was a lovely scene of grass, rocks, clouds. The questions asked how many rocks, how many clouds and how many sheep. The correct answer was zero sheep. He kept shouting 5. Over and over again, I went through the explanation. Still 5. Finally, I said, "Well, if there are five, tell me where they are?" He answered, "one is behind a rock, one jumped in the water to get a fish, one wandered off to look at a buttercup (!!), and two went home because they were tired."
I remember staring. Then it hit me. He added! HE ADDED!! And, he talked in BIG, LONG SENTENCES!!!
So, I quietly asked, "If all that is true, everyone's gone. How many sheep are left?"
"ZERO," he announced confidently.
Just imagine so many more years of that, and you have an idea of what went on. Fractions meant measuring cups with food coloring and water. Reading literature meant acting out the scenes or searching the internet for related videos and pictures. Homework took hours, broken up into little chunks. Storytime was always punctuated with extra dialogue and sounds. So much so, he was disappointed when he finally began to read well enough to only discover that all that extra stuff was not written in there. Mommy made it up. It kept him focused.
This is getting long, so I won't go into having to bring an educational lawyer in so he could have an assistant from 5th grade through 8th. How I changed things constantly to build in a tolerance for sudden changes (no meltdowns now, just lots of questions! Why, why, why!) How we still struggle to find volunter work for his community servce hours needed in high school(he is still very reclusive, and it is harder now to break routines).
We have the help of our local DORS (Department of Rehabilitative Services). (DDA wouldn't touch him. Our case manager literally told me I did too good of a job) He will have a driving assessment in March, two weeks of career assessments in June and 4 months of living on their campus when he graduates (2010). We have a social skills group he can go to, but with his brother's illness right now, this, unfortunately, has had to take a back seat.
Today, he is a tall, lanky, talkative fellow. One who follows rules to a tee, never forgets his chores and loves animals (future career, we hope!). He will graduate on time with a diploma. He is on no medication (none were found to alter his behavior; we did do trials). He understands he has "something called Asssspergers (he thinks this is funny), but revels in being different.
He is my wonder. I marvel every day. And, thank God, for an answered prayer.
Life is not easy. Especially when you are in a family of invisible illnesses and disabilities. It can be serious, funny and downright hard! But we make it. Just like everyone else. We just do it in a different style.

That your smartphone is the object that accompanies almost all our habitual actions and that it is the tool that supports almost all our daily choices is a more than well established fact. And certainly it is not surprising that this trend is becoming popular in the world of wine too. More and more mobile applications dedicated to the wine industry are spreading globally.
One example is MySommelier, the application that allows you to discover the right combination for each food category. Despite the fact that the amount of the wines mentioned is not extremely wide, surely this app, through an easy navigation and intuitive insights, is useful not only for pairing food and wine but provides also information for choosing the more appropriate glass to taste them.
Along the same lines there is Hello Vino, an app designed not only for those who are seeking the perfect combination of food and wine, but also for those who already have a specific wine bottle and want to find the best culinary combination. You can thus discover the wines that are best suited to certain courses and to specific occasions, according to a given preference (white, red, rosé, sparkling, dessert) but also to the characteristics of the wine (fruity, sweet, dry , etc …).
Moreover, Perbacco is the perfect app to always be up to date on wine tasting, to get detailed information on a large number of labels and to actively participate in signaling upcoming and past events.
WineEvents too offers a very similar service. It is a very simple application that shows numerous geolocated occasions of wines and spirits tastings. For each event you have information on who/what/where and you also have the opportunity to share the event on Facebook.
If you are already familiar with Evernote and with its various subcategories as Foodnote, be sure never to miss WineNote.
This app provides you with the perfect tool to keep track of your choices when it comes to wines, to document your experience and to write down every detail of the tasted product. You can enter information about the producer, varietal, vintage, rating, origin, color and alcohol degree. There is also a handy visual guide that lets you record the fragrances that you perceive, such as berries, raisins, oak and nutmeg to name a few. You can also take pictures and share your notes on Twitter.

The Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters has reached a critical turning point. The Departments of Agriculture (via the U.S. Forest Service (USFS)) and Interior (via its Bureau of Land Management (BLM)) are asking for public input as they consider whether or not to consent to the renewal of two expired mining leases. Unless both agencies give their consent, the expired leases are void. Without leases, the extractive hopes of Chilean copper mining giant, Antofagasta, and its Minnesota subsidiary, Twin Metals, for a sulfide-ore copper mine located next to (and in the watershed of) the BWCA, will come crashing down.
This is where you come in. As a lover of the Boundary Waters, Quetico Provincial Park, and Voyageurs National Park you should now, please, urge the USFS and BLM to withhold their consent and also to withdraw all the federal mineral rights within the watershed of the BWCA from the federal minerals leasing program.
Here is the full story:
On June 1, 1966, the BLM granted two identical leases to International Nickel Company (INCO), leases which are located within miles of what is now the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Each lease had an original term of 20 years, with the possibility of three renewals for ten years each. Combined, the two leases cover roughly 5,000 acres of the Superior National Forest and, more importantly, the federal minerals underneath. The leased acres are located immediately to the east of the Kawishiwi River and Birch lake, and to the west of and beneath Birch lake. Both lake and river flow directly into and through the heart of the BWCAW reaching the Quetico Provincial Park and Voyageurs National Park. The leases were renewed twice, first on July 1, 1989, and again on January 1, 2004. At no time did INCO or Twin Metals ever begin to produce (i.e., to actually mine) during the primary (20-year) term of the leases, or during either of the two ten-year renewals.
That the BLM ever issued the original leases seems amazing today, but consider for a moment that the leases are quite old, as far as leases go. The leases have never undergone environmental review, as they were issued on June 1, 1966, well before the passage of modern American environmental laws. Specifically, the leases predate the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA - the USA's environmental review law, signed by Pres. Richard Nixon January 1, 1970); the Federal Clean Air Act (1970); the Federal Clean Water Act (1972); and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Act (1978). The leases also predate:
- Ronald Reagan winning his first election to Governor of California (November. 8, 1966)
- The Viet Cong launching the Viet Nam War's Tet Offensive (January 30, 1968)
- Richard Nixon being elected President (November 5, 1968)
- The Moon Landing (Apollo 11 took off for the moon on July 16, 1969)
In October, 2012, Twin Metals applied for a third 10-year renewal, claiming an automatic right to the third renewal. The BLM, in the course of considering Twin Metals' application, asked the Office of the Solicitor (the Interior Department's top lawyer) whether a third lease renewal was required as Twin Metals claimed, or instead up to the discretion of the federal agencies. On March 8th, 2016, the Solicitor issued its determination in a substantial document called an M-opinion, which includes a summation of the facts and the legal analysis that supports and explains the government's decision.
The Solicitor's M-opinion concludes that mining company Twin Metals Minnesota has no legal right to a third renewal of the expired mineral leases. Rather, whether to renew the expired leases is a decision within the discretion of Secretary of the Interior, and the USFS as surface land manager.
The M-opinion explains, painstakingly, that under the terms of the original leases the lessee (now Twin Metals) is entitled to three successive 10-year renewals of the leases unless at the end of the original 20-year lease the lessee has not begun production (i.e., mining). The leases allow the Secretary of Interior to grant an extension of time for the commencement of production, but the lessee is not entitled to any subsequent lease renewals unless production begins during the extended time.
Production has never begun – not during the 20-year primary term, nor during the first lease renewal term. In addition, the Secretary of Interior did not grant an extension of time for beyond the primary lease term for commencement of production. As a result, Twin Metals has no legal right to an automatic third renewal of the expired leases.
That leaves the decision of whether to renew the expired leases in the hands of the BLM and USFS. The BLM has asked the USFS whether it will consent or not to consent to renewal of the leases. The USFS has a right to withhold its consent and if the agency does, then the leases are as good as terminated.
Before making a determination on the question, the USFS set out a 30-day public input period, and first one then another public listening session. The first of which was held in Duluth on July 13 (pictured above, watch the livestream here) and the second of which is scheduled for this coming Tuesday, July 19, in Ely.
Please provide your input by signing the petition and, if you possibly can, by attending the listening session. For more information on how to attend the Ely listening session, click here.

I'm going home! Finally away from this cold spot. Finally away from the wrong type of vacation. Finally to begin thinking about where my life is headed. Finally I can get on with the things I want to do. Finally just me and the people that appreciate my life. Finally, love for me from me. Finally I'm going home!

Alessandro Marchesan moved to London, from his home town of Venice, five years ago. He worked at Kensington Place in Notting Hill before moving to Rainer Becker's Japanese restaurant, Zuma, two years ago, as wine buyer and sommelier. He is also the wine advisor for Becker's new restaurant, Roka, which opened last year in Charlotte Street. Marchesan won the Dan Pontifex Award in 2002 and spent six weeks visiting Australian wine regions, sponsored by The Dan Pontifex Memorial Fund.
Zuma's head chef is Colin Claugue and the general manager is Russell Norman. Key suppliers: Enotria Winecellars, Liberty Wines, Fields Wine Merchants/Morris & Verdin (Berry Bros & Rudd), Bibendum Wine, Lea & Sandeman Co, Robert Rolls & Co, Billecart-Salmon (UK).
What are the challenges when matching wines to the food at Zuma and Roka?
It's all about finding a compromise between the flavours across all the dishes that have been ordered by the table. It's not that difficult to find a good match if you take it dish but dish, but in a Japanese restaurant the food keeps flowing throughout the meal and everyone shares dishes. If you take several together, you first have to work out the strongest flavour in the set and then find a wine that works with that flavour. When it comes to sushi and sashimi, many different wines will work, but each will give you a totally different experience on the palate. It's really enjoyable trying things out.
Can you tell me some of your favourite wine and food matches?
With sashimi dishes, I often recommend a New World Riesling, particularly from Clare Valley or Eden Valley in Australia, and with sushi, southern Rhne-style whites are very good. Sherry is also a great match for sushi, but no one is interested in ordering it, unfortunately! When it comes to grilled dishes, an unoaked Chardonnay usually works really well with white meat, and for red meat you generally need a fruit-driven wine with soft tannins, such as a Cte de Beaune-style Pinot Noir or, if you want something with more body, a juicy Shiraz, Grenache, Nero d'Avola or Merlot. The three key attributes are fruitiness, juiciness and soft tannins. An all-round great match with a lot of dishes is Chardonnay. It's a very versatile grape and produces a wide range of styles. I believe Chardonnay makes the best white wine in the world and the more minerally, lightly oaked, citrus-fruit
Chardonnays work extremely well with our food. I really dislike Sauvignon Blanc. It's a very bold and boring grape. If I could take all the Sauvignon Blanc off my list, I would.
Does Sauvignon Blanc sell well at Zuma and Roka?
Unfortunately, yes! We have a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand available by the glass for 7.60, and we sell 80 bottles a week even though it's relatively expensive. People ask for it without even looking at the list. Or they ask for Pinot Grigio, and it doesn't matter if it costs 50 a bottle. It makes me really annoyed, so when I selected the Pinot Grigio, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and Chablis for our list I found quite expensive, but very good, examples of each to encourage customers to consider something different instead. If they aren't put off by the price then at least they will be drinking a very good example of each of those styles.
What other wines sell well?
This is Knightsbridge so people tend to look for the classics, such as white Burgundy or red Bordeaux. Although those wines do not go as well with the food that we serve, they are a big part of what we sell. If I am selecting a white Burgundy I'll look for the more citrussy, peachy, melony styles with less oak, rather than a big buttery Puligny-Montrachet. With claret, the more forward vintages, with softer tannins, are best and I tend to go for the lesser vintages rather than the classic years, because they suit the food. Otherwise it has to be older vintages, although that can sometimes be a problem too. For example, Haut-Brion 1982 works because it is very fruit-driven and exotic on the nose, but a Pichon-Lalande 1982 doesn't work at all. Rhne wines are very good with our food and I also have a substantial selection of wines from Australia, California, New Zealand and South Africa. I'm a big fan of Australian wines.
What do you particularly like about Australian wines?
There are some wines that are unique to Australia, for example Clare or Eden Valley Riesling, Barossa Shiraz and Semillon from the Hunter Valley, and you will never get anything similar anywhere else in the world. I like the originality of the wines but also, on the other hand, the way that Australian producers are blending between regions and getting a great result.
Anything you don't like about Australian wines?
I'm worried about the mass production of very bland wines. Some of the big companies should start concentrating more on quality rather the quantity, because they are damaging the image of the boutique wineries.
What are the differences when buying wines for Zuma and Roka?
It's totally different as Roka is based much more around the Robata grill, so I have selected more of the full-flavoured, structured wines that work well with grilled food. The list is also smaller at Roka, which makes it difficult. I want to offer good value for money, but at the same time have a few bottles for someone who wants to drink a very expensive bottle of wine. The challenge at Roka was to offer a wine list that would be strange, unusual and controversial, but also offer the classic wines for commercial reasons. Some people walk in, and it doesn't matter what I think about Chablis and Sancerre, they still want to drink it.

Market Definition:
Dietary Fibers have also advanced their market share due to their incorporation in other food items like bakery products, beverages and other health related products. Certain deterrents to the growth of this market include government regulations and specific functional requirements. Increasing incidences related to stomach ailments caused by lack of dietary fibers in diet have increased the demand for this market. Heightened levels of awareness related to the benefits of dietary fibers has increased the demand for the sector favorably. Limited availability of quality natural produce has been another motivating factor for the development of the market.
Market Scenario and Key Restraints:
Market Research Future which specializes in market reports related to the food, beverage and nutrition sector amongst others, lately published a report on this industry. The industry will expand with a brilliant CAGR % while accomplishing a million dollar growth readily by 2022. Present diets don't have naturally occurring dietary component in them which has increase the preference of dietary fibers that are added to food items.

We Are Weill Cornell Medicine: Sandy Allen-Bard
Tuesday, March 21, 2017
Sandy Allen-Bard is a leukemia nurse practitioner in the Weill Cornell Leukemia Program. She lives on the Upper East Side with her husband and her bulldog.
When did you join Weill Cornell Medicine?
I joined Weill Cornell Medicine in March of 2001 as a leukemia nurse practitioner working with Drs. Eric Feldman and Gail Roboz. At the time, it was a very small program; we were doing pretty much everything ourselves. Now it's the largest hematology/oncology program in the city.
I briefly left WCM in March of 2015 and became an oncology nurse educator at Incyte, a biopharmaceutical company. I gave educational talks for nurses and physician assistants, but it wasn't really for me. I'm a clinical person; I love patient care. So when Dr. Ellen Ritchie called me, I came back here in June 2016.
What's your day-to-day role?
I see patients in the clinic, making medical management and treatment decisions such as whether they need blood or platelet transfusions, antibiotics, or if they are at risk for infection or relapsing disease. I also work closely with the social workers to help patients manage their overall health and obtain funds for their medications.
What's the most rewarding part of your job?
Patient care—making sure my patients have a good experience and helping them deal with their overall diagnoses and in any other way I can.
And the most challenging?
Dealing with the insurance companies to get approval for the medications my patients need.
What is your proudest moment at Weill Cornell Medicine?
I'm very involved with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), which raises awareness and funds to support blood cancer research. I've done a lot of support groups and I also run marathons to raise money for LLS. My proudest moment was when I raised over $50,000 to support a researcher here at Weill Cornell, Dr. Monica Guzman. To see the money come here through a grant from LLS was so gratifying.
I will be running the London Marathon for the first time and I'm using the opportunity to raise more funds for LLS. I've raised more than $30,000 so far toward funding another researcher at Weill Cornell Medicine!
What do you like to do when you're not at work?
I run! I also coach for Team in Training, which is LLS's marathon training fundraiser. I've run 28 marathons and two 50-mile races. I also like spending time at the Cape, where my husband and I have a house.
What are your favorite things to do in NYC and beyond?
Go to great restaurants, wine bars, the Yankee and Mets games (husband likes Mets and I like Yankees), and museums. Central Park is my favorite place.
What's on your bucket list?
I always say I don't have a bucket list, but I would love to go to a surf camp and learn to surf.
Sandy also spoke to Oncology Nursing News about her involvement in advocacy groups. Working as a nurse for patients with leukemia for over 20 years, Allen-Bard has gained a passion in seeing how life-altering this diagnosis can be. She believes that research needs to continue as there are different pathways to discover. With the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Allen-Bard can use her running, education, and her voice to help her patients in just one more way.

Cat Power at Shepherd's Bush Empire, March 2004
Darcy reminded me of this. One of the worst things I have ever ever seen.
Gimme details!
She was so good at Union Chapel I've never dared see her again, for fear of being disappointed.
Let me put it this way, at one point she got a huge round of applause just for finishing a song
At the end of the gig she asked for all the stage lights to be turned off and all the house lights to be turned on, and just stayed sitting on the stage saying "Go home, it's time to go home, go on, go home..."
I suspect she may have been having some emotional problems, or maybe she was just off her face, but it was really frustratingly infuratingly awful as a live experience. I ended up wishing she'd cancelled.
I saw her in 2005 and she wasn't much better.

what about if you've been to about 7 gigs in the past 10 years,
and 5 of those were the klaxons? actually, hang on...

Radiohead, After Dark Club, Reading.13 Feb 1993
£3.75 to see some indie guitar action in Reading? Yes, please. Never heard of them. Wasn't impressed at all with their generic jangly crap. Apart from one song "Fucking Special" and I only liked it because of the earth-cracking guitar sound and that it reminded me of The Hollies "The Air That I Breathe". How prescient was I?
You might be the person to ask...
can you remember when Alley Cats closed down?
I used to like it there, the Purple Turtle was conveniently placed just down the road for pre-gig drinks too.
Must have been end of 2004 or 2005 after I left Reading
Now it's just night club.
Was a good sized venue for seeing new acts touring the UK for the first time. If you were lucky, you could have caught The Killers there. Liked it when tour promoters decided have shows in Reading and Oxford and not just Oxford.
I saw the killers there.
It was called the Fez at the time though, and i think it's changed again.
big massive pillar right in the way
it changed to the Fez in the late 90s i think. it certainly wasn't Alley Cat Live any more in 2001
then in 2008 it changed to Sukura and they don't have gigs there any more.
no way
it was way before then
Mine too, but I had fonder memories of the old Purple Turtle
as it was, then, the only place in Reading where one could drink till 2am Mon-Sat and not pay to get in.
Last time I was in the PT, the five of were asked to leave because we demanded our jukebox money back after the manager got annoyed with our choice of music, switched it off and played "Killing In The Name Of". If you don't like Beethoven, then don't have it on the jukebox.

was that just for maximum cruelty value?
Tbf to me, I'd wanted to it for ages before
but it was the uni summer holidays and I hadn't seen her for about 2 months. I reckon I did the honourable thing by waiting outside for her to turn up when my mates (and several attractive women who I really had no hope in hell with) had already gone in and were pleading with me to do the same.
That gig was fucking great- Say Anything before they went a bit rubbish, Brand New at their best and extricating myself from a mental woman. Yup, probably my favourite gig ever now that I think about it.
hah, yeah memories of gigs always get coloured by life context.
actually I'm not sure which I preferred out of that Brixton show and the Hammersmith one the following February (after TDAGARIM was released). The one at the Forum in 2009 was pretty shit hot too (in more ways than one, it was about 30C outside), but loses points for being at the Forum.
I'd say the Hammersmith one was the best performance of the three.
The Forum was brilliant, but I was stuck upstairs. Didn't it pour down with rain that day?
Yea it flooded Kentish Town tube
It was so hot right before it as well, I had to take cover in Footlocker in Camden for about 45 minutes while it pissed it down.
yeah, it was real tropical stuff.
it was also the same night as Zonino (erm, 4.5?) and I got pretty soaked getting from the Windmill to the Forum.

BUT i did find this: http://drownedinsound.com/gigs/1019/reviews/9682-
Redshift! Ashley "Kerrang editor" Bird's band! :'DDDDDDDD
10/10 lol
I was at this show too. Literally don't remember Redshift at all. Maybe I arrived late. Paper Cuts were a hoot though. Don't think I ever met Ross the singer, even though he always massively bigged up my band on his blog. Nice man!
I also Redshift at Truck, I guess also in 2004
they were on in the barn, I was a little confused and thought it was Redjetson.
Was that Ross from Symposium?
i h8 you
i remember Paper Cuts played one of the alldayer afterparties (the one in the Spread Eagle that was so rammed Jared and I could only escape by climbing out a window), the one where Hell is for Heroes played the main one, and Fi was so excited about pretty much all of Symposium being in one place :D
Ha, I was with Ferris and Ash for this
and they didn't let us in. Ferris was like "THIS IS MY FOCKING AFTER PORTY!" but the doorman was having none of it. Pretty funny. Think we watched a bit of Distophia from the pavement, then went somewhere else. Maybe for a curry? My memory isn't what it once was.
We ended up in Catch
seem to remember someone (Del probably) trying it on with Mel from Drive Like You Stole It, despite her husband being right there
that was me too
fun night, I think we climbed in AND out of the window :)

Chino looking embarrassed at the "FUCK FRED DURST" chants + Damone in the set + Chino stealing merch from a bootlegger outside + mass escape from the balcony after security turned their backs for thirty seconds + amp stacks being climbed. brutally good stuff.
This gig was mental
Didnt Chino almost get his finger ripped off when he climbed onto the balcony?
You forgot to mention LOSTPROPHETS were the support band, and they were absolutely awful. Even, I assume, by their usual standards.
I remember Chino being handed a pint of something blue by a stage hand and chugging it
missed Lostprophets, was queuing outside to pick up tickets. didn't even realise they'd played until i saw the review in K! the following week!

Pavement, Hull Adelphi October 1999 (no, really!)
They were supporting Salako in the infamous sub-100 capacity indie toilet venue.Moitessier this'd this
Definitely holds more like 150-200
Unless they expanded it sometime between 1999 and 2006. But that Pavement gig - when my band played there, the venue manager didn't stop talking about it. Tried to sell us a massive book documenting the occasion for £10 unless I'm going mad.
I went there a stack of times and if you tried to fit more than 100
in there you'd be risking a fiasco of Heysel Stadiumesque proportions!
Maybe it just looks bigger empty then?
When I played there, only about 20 people came :(
My logic is based on the fact that The Windmill in Brixton holds 150ish at absolute maximum, and The Adelphi is definitely bigger than The Windmill.
Whilst the Adelphi is physically bigger, it's an awkward shape...
even more awkwardly shaped than the Windmill anyway.
The useable space in the Adelphi is fairly small when you consider the fact that there's a relatively big backstage area and a separate room with another bar in the back.
Am I totally mixing this up with somewhere else?
It looks a bit like Byker Grove youth centre from the outside and then inside its like a classic toilet venue, and the main room is kind of a decent sized square, with the stage at one end and the bar at the other end. I don't remember there being two bars?!
They may have reconfigured it, but up until 2002 when
I left Hull they had a second bar in a little room at the back.
You've definitely got the right place. Just up the road was The Grafton, owned by The Beautiful South.
I reckon they must have expanded it sometime before we played there in 2006
Because it was definitely bigger than 100 capacity and didn't have a large backstage or a second bar. We got a guided tour!
That's a good turnout for the Adelphi!
I watched the likes of ska-punk 'giants' (well, they were signed to Asian Man and appeared on a few Warped Tours) MU330 play there to all of a dozen people.
Get this too
There was a hurricane warning the day we played. Did ok I reckon. Eventually hit the next day causing chaos down the north east coast. Was literally like the film Twister on the way home the next day.
Being honest, the first support band brought about 10 people, and a bunch of kids turned up who had read about us in the NME, then promptly left to go to Hull Club NME during the second song of our set. The irony. By the end of our set I'm not sure there was anyone in the venue that wasn't staff or in one of the other bands. Nice venue though!

This show was loud
And the lights were amazing. Was it really as recent as 2004 though? I thought I was still a teenager when I liked Cooper Temple Clause. Pretty sure this was 2001. Unless they regressed back to The Garage. The gig on the way up was good anyway. I don't think I was at the one in 2004.
I miss the old Garage.
The best Garage show I ever went to was probably Six By Seven in December 2000. Incredible sound. Though I missed a pretty ridiculous triumverate - as in was literally at the venue and didn't get in - Queens Of The Stone Age in 2000 and Stephen Malkmus' first UK gig post Pavement in 2001 (both totally sold out and turned away at the door - quashed the myth that they always held some tickets back to stop touting) and TV On The Radio in 2004 (was assured I was on the guestlist, travelled from Brighton for the gig then was told I was definitely not on the guestlist upon arriving #Whyarevenuessohorrible).
This gig was just as Kick up the fire came out
Boxer Rebellion supporting. In my top 5 gigs, this one.
Saw them at the bull and gate in 01 too, but didn't know anything about them back then. Insane gig that was.
they did loads of b-sides as well at that garage gig
I saw them a few times but that was them at their absolute best, though I was never at that Bull and Gate show which I hear was amazing.

Cementimental, Bournemouth O2 Academy, 26th November
Wembley Stadium, 1991. You can hear my whistle all over the live record, and see my bro in some of the footage.
Support was a quite staggeringly brilliant Jellyfish, Jesus Jones, Hothouse Flowers, Roachford and Debbie Harry.
Good day out.

never got to see elliott smith live.
Broken Social Scene, Camden Barfly, November 2005
probably hadn't seen 10 gigs at this point in my life. They played for about 2 hours. They had five guitars and the band members barely fitted on the stage. It was special.
Iron & Wine at Glee Club in Birmingham 16 May 2004
with Rosie Thomas and Sufjan Stevens
would have loved to have been at this gig
as long as it was iron and wine's stripped-back guitar-and-vocal-harmony set rather than his world music tedium set
Fugazi final tour - Kentish Town Forum - 2nd/3rd/4th November 2002
Three shows, over 6 hours of brilliance, over 60 different songs played, for around £20 total. Incredible stuff.
U2 supporting John Otway
Sheffield University, 1980. Never again.
Mclusky, Jarcrew, Corrigan
in brighton freebutt in about 2001/02.

Once they played after some Ska band called Spankboy, about 9 people were there.

I thought I flesh out the reasons for the petition a little bit more.PWC wanted to charge £100m over 4 years, and then brought it down to £55m over 2 years. According to me, this doesn't make any difference. It's the same as 100 * 2 / 4. And it's possible that the administration will drag on beyond 2 years. They just did this to quell all the bad press and anger from clients and creditors. The administration of Fyshe, Hoyton and Finney cost only £3m, and yet they had over £300m in assets!Beaufort had in fact correctly segregated all assets and money as per the ring-fencing rules.But the petition is not about Beaufort. The petition applies to all stock brokers and wealth management firms, I just used the Beaufort, Hartmann, Fyshe as examples.Every client is covered up-to £50,000 per broker by the FSCS.As per the law - Rule 135, the administrators take their fees from the clients shares / cash, and the FSCS reimburses each client for their loss up-to a maximum of £50,000.It might seem that this achieves the same result as the petition, but the petition goes beyond this. The petition in effect proposes to hold the FSCS responsible for the costs of administration.This will have several consequences:The FCA will work much harder to monitor brokers and protect customers as it knows it's on the hook if it doesn't.The way it works now is that the administrator has free rein over fees, and the only way clients can dispute the fees is by the client committee going to court which is a lengthy process and the chances of the administrators winning are high. As the FCA is the body that appoints the administrator in the first place, they have much more power to negotiate the fees and appoint an independent fee assessor to control the fees. This petition would force the FCA to do exactly that from the beginning instead of having the client committee fight the administrators in court.By having a direct settlement between the FSCS and the administrators, it avoids the need to liquidate shares (saving illiquid portfolios) and also avoids a tax charge on SIPPs when withdrawals are made to pay the fees.By making the FCA / FSCS responsible for the costs, it's highly likely that the cost to the FCA of an administration would be even much less than the current arrangement thereby saving the FCA a lot.For a broker that ring-fenced it's assets correctly (It's the FCA's job to make sure brokers do this), the time taken to return assets to clients in an administration would drastically reduce and not inconvenience clients. (You can't trade, sell or buy shares, or receive dividends during an administration)All brokers market accounts as ring-fenced, what is the meaning of ring-fencing if this circle can be broken to pay fees?I urge all to please sign the petition. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/222801

Most of the members on this board might have heard about the Beaufort securities collapse in which the administrators PWC wanted to raid the shares / money of clients in order to recoup fees for administration. This has happened in the past with previous broker insolvencies such as Hartmann Capital, Fyshe Horton and Finney etcThis is legal and possible because of a certain unknown Rule 135 of the Special Administration Regime that allows administrators to use client shares / assets to fund the administration on the collapse of a stock broker or wealth management firm.Shares / cash within ISAs, SIPPs and trading accounts are marketed as ring-fenced, yet this rule 'breaks' that ring-fence and creates a conflict of interest between returning assets to clients in a timely fashion and the administrators' corporate motivation to maximise fee income. This rule gives administrators an open cheque book as PWC proved when they came up with a bill of £100m to return shares / money to Beaufort's clients.Would appreciate it if everybody would sign this petition and ask others to do the same. Thanks in advance,https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/222801
