Medical Marijuana Update
The DEA relented and rescheduled the marijuana-based drug Epidiolex, California's Governor vetoes a compassionate access bill, and Michigan dispensaries must have licenses by Halloween or be shut down, and more.
DEA Reschedules Marijuana-Derived Drug Epidiolex. The DEA has rescheduled Epidiolex, a marijuana-derived drug manufactured by GW Pharmaceutical. The move comes after the FDA approved the drug in June and clears the way for GW to begin selling the drug. Epidiolex is the 1st FDA-approved drug derived from marijuana.
Congresspersons Want to Know Why DEA is Importing Research Marijuana. 15 members of Congress led by Representatives Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA) sent a letter Monday to the DEA and US Attorney General Sessions expressing "deep concern" over delays in approving domestic marijuana cultivation for research purposes even as the DEA has approved the importation of marijuana from Canada for research purposes.
Protestors Target Rep. Andy Harris Over Opposition to Using Medical Marijuana as Opioid Treatment. Red-capped protestors affiliated with the marijuana reform group DCMJ protested outside the office doors of Representative Andy Harris (R-MD) last Tuesday. DCMJ said the protesters were there to protest his opposition to using medical marijuana as a treatment for the opioid crisis. After Harris refused to meet with them, as fellow protesters waved signs accusing Harris of working for "Big Pharma," two women laid down in the hallway to represent friends who had fatally overdosed. One of the women was temporarily handcuffed. The smell of marijuana wafted through the air. Harris later complained that: "Today's aggression by protesters who disagree with my position on the legalization of recreational marijuana demonstrates the problem with political discourse today. We all must agree to have a civilized debate when disagreement occurs. My parents fled communist Eastern Europe where people with different political opinions were harassed and punished, and it has no place in America."
California Governor Vetoes Compassionate Access Bill. Governor Jerry Brown (D) has vetoed Senate Bill 829, which would have allowed licensed marijuana retailers to "offer free cannabis or cannabis goods" to low-income medical marijuana payments. In his veto statement, Gov. Brown said the bill would violate the state's recreational marijuana law, but that logic left advocates confounded. "Nowhere does Prop. 64 say that it is intended to impede free donations of medicine to needy patients," commented CA NORML head Dale Gieringer. "The purposes and intents section of the initiative is clear that it pertains only to adult-use marijuana, and does not override Prop 215 [California's original medical marijuana law, passed in 1996]."
Florida Moves to Block Licensing Lawsuit. The state Department of Health is asking an appeals court to block a district judge from moving forward with a lawsuit where a nursery operator who was denied a cultivation license. The appeals court on Friday put the case on hold temporarily, with the nursery operator given until the end of the month to respond to the state's arguments that the lawsuit should be thrown out.
Michigan Dispensaries Must Have Licenses by Halloween, Regulators Say. The state Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has issued new emergency rules for dispensaries saying that if they haven't received a license by Halloween they could be forced to shut their doors. Also, any product not received in compliance with the Marijuana Facilities Licensing Act will have to be destroyed.
Utah Medical Marijuana Initiative Opponents Pony Up Cash. Opponents of the Prop 2 medical marijuana initiative are ponying up big bucks in a bid to defeat the measure. As of last weekend, wealthy Utah'ns have contributed $230,000 to the opposition group Drug Safe Utah in recent months and $65,000 to another anti group, the Truth About Proposition 2, while initiative sponsors the Utah Patients Coalition has raised only $68,000, with $50,000 of that coming from the Marijuana Policy Project.

Contents:Summary: "Keeping his focus on America, Nathaniel Comfort introduces the community of scientists, physicians, and public health workers who have contributed to the development of medical genetics from the nineteenth century to today. He argues that medical genetics is closely related to eugenics, and indeed that the two cannot be fully understood separately. He also carefully examines how the desire to relieve suffering and to improve ourselves genetically, though noble, may be subverted. History makes clear that as patients and consumers we must take ownership of genetic medicine, using it intelligently, knowledgeably, and skeptically"-- Provided by publisher.

An Olympic silver medal won on an ankle far from at its best means only one thing for trampolinist Bryony Page – room for improvement is certainly not out of the question.
The 26-year-old has not competed since tasting success at Rio 2016, with rehab still ongoing after going under the knife for work on an ankle that has proved troublesome for some time.
And with the impingement injury lingering in the shadows for more than six years, it's certainly been a fix long overdue – despite the inevitable delay to her latest Olympiad adventure.
For some it would bring a rather frustrating wait on the sidelines but, with Page still buzzing from her silver in Rio, the confidence is high, and the determination remains even higher.
"Pressure is a funny word, it's something that you focus on with yourself – you can't physically touch it so it's about that mental resolve and getting into the right position for you to feel happy," she said.
"I'm just getting back into things, putting new elements into routines which is very exciting, feeling the drive and the motivation to get back into things and compete again.
"I haven't competed since the Games, always kept up with conditioning but in terms of the trampoline it was a good few months where I was off it.
"You do have that little worry, that's what comes with surgery, but you have that faith and confidence in your support teams, the physios and the doctors, so I'm confident it can become 100 per cent which it hasn't been for many years now.
"We've got a World Championships at the end of the year and I'd love to get back to a peak performance by then, and it's the same target I have going into any competition, whether it be an Olympic Games or any meet or anything.
"I go in to be my best, be the absolute best I can be and that's the only thing you can truly control, so that's what I want to focus on."
For Page, a prolonged period on the sidelines has brought a noticeable silver lining to the cloud – in both a literal and mental approach.
As Team GB's first trampoline medallist, Page has hit new ground, an inspiration to those looking to bounce in the same footsteps as well as jump for the first time.
That took her to the grand opening of Flip Out in Brent Cross, the UK's most advanced trampoline arena, with the next generation on hand to take up a brand new opportunity.
Page delivered a rather hands-on approach with her own routine in North London, but it was the medal around her neck that drew most attention.
But for every chip, dent or scratch that dents her precious silver, it brings a smile to the face of Page, revelling in her chance to start the potential journey of Team GB's next trampoline Olympic medallist.
She added: "At the moment I keep my medal in a very fluffy sock in my bag. I like to share the medal around and for people to hold it, it's got a few marks but I like to think that any chip is a mark where somebody has been inspired.
"It comes with a box – that's what I keep pristine, and I'm more than happy for it to be that way.
"I like to be able to share it, some people wonder if I'm sad about it, but it's well loved and I'm proud that people want to see it. That inspiration is so important to me, even now I get inspired by people so if I can do anything to help someone else feel like that then I'll do it in a heartbeat.
"That's really helped me, so if I can give back is really special."

Arm or Leg Pain in Portland
Shoulder and hip joints are used very frequently, and for a variety of uses that employ a wide range of motion. At our Portland chiropractic clinic, we see a large number of injuries related to these joints. Sports, wear and tear, and many other activities can lead to pain and an inability to use these joints. This article from King Chiropractic Clinic offers information regarding the leading causes of shoulder and leg pain and how chiropractic care can help.
Treatment for Arm and Leg Pain in Portland
It can be hard to determine the source of arm or leg pain on your own. Aching joints after repetitive daily activities, dislocated shoulders, and pinched nerves, are all clear reasons for immediate pain; however, a creeping pain in your arms or legs during times of no activity when you're unsure where or why you're in pain, should be cause for a professional examination.
Numerous conditions can cause pain such as bursitis, arthritis and tendinitis, but a misalignment in the upper or lower spine is the most common source of chronic leg and arm pain. Narrow spaces for nerves in the spine caused by a spine or disc misalignment irritate the nerves, leading to pain down the length of the nerve. Seeing that nerves run from the spine to the ends of your extremities, it follows that pain in one area of the body can be traced all the way back to the spine.
Any sort of injury to your vertebrae has the possibility of sending pain throughout your arms and legs. For example, symptoms from sciatica run from the hip to the lower end of your leg.
Chiropractic Treatment for Arm and Leg Pain at King Chiropractic Clinic
With the countless causes of leg and arm pain and the unique ways joints work, professional help is needed to pinpoint the source of your pain. An evaluation will typically consist of the collections of medical history, a physical assessment, and advanced imaging. A full evaluation should ensure a chiropractor can determine the cause of the pain and subsequently provide effective treatment.
With precise and non-invasive adjustments, a chiropractor can encourage the body to correctly position the spine. Results can bring instant and lifelong relief. When you're finding yourself having arm or leg pain, why wait for it to become unbearable? Schedule an appointment with our team at King Chiropractic Clinic in Portland today!
Can Chiropractic Help?
So how can chiropractic help my arm and leg pain? As with any condition, you want to start with treating the most common and typical cause of the pain and symptoms first. At King Chiropractic Clinic we have found that misalignment (subluxations) of the vertebrae in the neck and lower back are responsible for the vast majority of arm and leg pain. As described above, when bones or discs are out of position, and lose their ability to move properly, they often cause irritation to the surrounding tissues, including the nerves.
Many patients are surprised when they see that the nerves in our body travel from the spine all the way to the ends of our fingertips and toes. As a result, injuries to the vertebrae in the spine can create the sensation of pain anywhere along our arms and legs. Through this pattern of treatment, patients at our clinic have experienced high levels of success through chiropractic treatment.
- Extensive stiffness or difficulty moving
- Headaches
- Limitations rotating head
- Muscle soreness
What Causes Hip and Leg Pain
Hip and leg pain can be musculoskeletal (stemming from bones, joints, and muscles) or neuropathic (stemming from nerves and tissues). Musculoskeletal pain is often a result of muscle tightness around the hip and through the leg. This tightness can be a result of previous injury, excessive use, and lack of use, but results in a muscular imbalance, causing stress on joints and muscles. Neuropathic hip and leg pain can be due to various nerve impingements. Sciatica, a chronic burning pain, felt in the legs, is due to the impingement of the sciatic nerve.
How King Chiropractic Clinic Can Help
While hip and leg pain can be attributable to a number of factors, a chiropractic assessment can help to target the source of pain. While leg pain might manifest in extremities, the source of the pain often stems from the spine. Chiropractic care addresses hip and leg pain through adjustments to the spine which can help to reduce inflammation that is triggering pain felt throughout the legs. Additionally, chiropractic care can help address nerve impingements which might be triggering leg or hip pain.
If you are experiencing arm or leg pain in Portland contact King Chiropractic Clinic to schedule a consultation today.

How Run3D Will Make You A Better and Faster Runner
Are you thinking about having a Run3D gait analysis, but not really sure how it can help you? Anna Boniface explains how Run3D helped identify her injury risk, improve efficiency issues with her running style, and helped her to acknowledge a smarter way to strengthen for the marathon. Did we mention she then proceeded to knock 9 minutes off her previous marathon pb and came first female in the non elite London Marathon 2017 race?...
In February 2017, you had your gait scientifically analysed with a Run3D gait analysis. What did you learn about your running gait from this analysis?
" The results were really interesting and explained why I get certain recurrent niggles. I have quite an unusual running gait, so to the naked eye it's quite hard to identify each individual issue. Because there is a lot to critique, some of the less obvious issues have been missed previously.
Run3D's gait analysis has shown exactly where my weaknesses and instabilities are. This is mainly at my hips, which then stems down the kinetic chain causing other issues at the foot and ankle. The biggest revelation of my analysis was that there was too much driving force going through the ankle resulting in a bouncy and less efficient running style. This has meant that my ankle plantar flexors are working too hard, which has explained why I am getting extensive recurrent tightness and foot niggles".
What rehabilitation exercises and changes to your running style were recommended by Run3D based on your results?
"From my Run3D gait analysis and full MSK assessment carried out by the Run3D team, I've been given a great exercise programme to address the instabilities, weaknesses and muscle tightness.
This mainly has been hip and lower limb/foot strengthening exercises. Run3D have made this running specific with many of the exercises being single legged to replicate running gait where the hip needs to stabilise. They have also recommended running drill based exercises to help improve my form, particularly on foot placement in the gait cycle and stabilising my pelvis by activating my glutes.
I've had a recent foot injury and I have been provided with some resting orthotics throughout the injury problem to help off-load the tendon"
At London Marathon this year you had a fantastic race that you took a full 9 minutes off your previous marathon pb of 2.45 to get a 2.37! How much of this improvement would you attribute to the findings of your Run3D analysis?
"Run3D has definitely contributed to improving my marathon time. I know that before Run3D I had not been doing specific enough exercises to address the problems with my running gait. This has only been the start of the improvements and I feel with further work with the team, even more improvements can be made."
To race competitively over the marathon requires a very high training mileage and staying injury free is always a challenge. Preventing injuries before they occur is a key component to distance running success. How has Run3D helped you stay injury free?
"In marathon running, consistency is an absolute key. I was fortunate enough not to have too many issues until just before my taper when I had a small foot niggle. I was able to go to the London Run3D clinic really quickly to have some soft tissue therapy and to review my exercises, which was really useful. The niggle settled and I was able to perform on race day. Most importantly, however, its been about identifying the biomechanical problems and establishing potential injury risks that could occur. Therefore, I know exactly what "prehab" exercises are most important to keep my injury risk at bay. I know that I will have to likely always do these exercises day in and day out, but knowing WHY I need to do them gives me the obedience to incorporate them into my training and to prioritise it as much as going out for a run."
The principle of 'marginal gains' is becoming increasingly important in elite sport. Run3D identified that you waste a lot of energy when you run by bouncing up and down too much. By enabling you to identify and correct this fault, do you think Run3D will help you run faster over 26.2 miles in the future?
"I know that I have so much to give in the marathon. Physiology testing has shown that I have a "great engine". What is slowing me down is that inefficiency from my running style, which over 26.2 miles is going to waste a lot of energy. When you reach elite levels, the improvements become a lot less. I doubt I will knock off a significant chunk in one go again, but each minute I can run faster brings me closer to my ultimate aim of going to a major championship, where realistically I need to be running around 2.30.
Im still young in the marathon world, and with persistence and patience at working on these biomechanical issues with the Run3D team, I think this is a really realistic aim to have. Gait re-education and fine tuning running form doesn't happen overnight. It will take months and even years to take full effect. But with youth on my side, its certainly worth pursuing."

On Saturday September 19th at North Shore High School, the Key Club began the year with soap & water washing cars and having some fun. The profits from this annual event will go to the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center (KPTC) The key club always lends support to this organization for all their great work the KPTC does throughout the year. Pediatric trauma kills more children than any other disease and the North Shore key Club hopes to assist the KPTC by cutting down those numbers. Pictured are key club members having some fun and making a difference.
The North Shore Key Club is very proud of their accomplishments for 2014-2015. The club was recognized in New York State in March 2015 for numerous community service events and in June at the Key Club International Convention was awarded a first place trophy for their single service project for Autism and third place for the scrapbook. Pictured are club members with very proud President Elias Mastakouris holding the first place trophy.
This page keeps you up to date with the latest news from the North Shore High School Key Club.

Sara Moulton's Home Cooking 101: How to Make Everything Taste Better
I was vaguely familiar with Sara Moulton from her show on PBS (I'd watched several episodes where she cooked with other chefs I follow, such as Michele Scicolone and Grace Young, but had never cooked from one of her cookbooks before, so I was excited to try out "Home Cooking 101." A fantastic illustrated guide to pantry staples and step-by-step prep for more complicated dishes, you'll learn essential techniques such as making your own stock, preserved lemon slices, ricotta and paneer, how to bake fish in a parchment bag, how to French a rack of lamb, pounding cutlets and more. Helpful sidebars give additional info and tips and tricks, including herb pairings, how to prepare ingredients, ingredient primers, etc. The numbered step-by-step photos (which get an entire page) are tremendously helpful to learn new techniques such as making spaetzle, crack a coconut, pound cutlets, trimming a rack of lamb, etc. The book includes chapters on soups and salads, meat, poultry, seafood and vegetarian/vegan entrees, side dishes, "quick and quicker" entrees, more labor-intensive dishes for "when you have time," and desserts ("something sweet"). One thing that took getting used to was the fact that chapter headers do not have tables of contents, so you will have to refer to the index or bookmark using sticky tabs to quickly locate recipes. As I have several years' experience in publishing (including layout in InDesign), I tend to pay close attention to a book's layout, and the simple, uncluttered layout here (and effective use of color and fonts; recipe titles and ingredients are listed in teal, while steps are in black) works wonderfully. The font size and spacing make this highly readable even from a cookbook holder; all too often, I've reviewed books with too-light print or gloss pages that render them unreadable under actual kitchen conditions. For my first test recipe, I decided to try the salmon baked in a bag. Although I've long known of the technique, I'd never tried making it at home; a pity, because know that I know how easy it is, I will certainly be cooking this way more often! You layer thin slices of orange and lemon, sprinkle with rosemary, top with seasoned salmon filets, top with more lemon and orange slices and chopped olives (I used Kalamata since the recommended oil-cured are impossible to find here) and bake; I halved the recipe for two good-sized filets, and it took about 14 minutes. The bonus is that your kitchen doesn't smell "fishy," and the fish cooks up perfectly moist, marinated in the citrus juices and a drizzle of olive oil. You could also switch out the orange slices for blood orange and use Meyer lemons; the possibilities are endless! Cleanup is a breeze; simply open the parchment bag, use a spatula to transfer the fish and citrus to a serving platter, and toss the parchment, no mess or pans to clean. I love the broad range of international influences that abound, from Thai-style chicken salad and Korean BBQ Tofu Tacos to Thai-flavored pumpkin custard, Goan shrimp curry, Japanese (baked eggplant with miso-ginger glaze), French cuisine (duck breasts with warm lentil salad, duck confit, vichyssoise), Latin dishes, and more. As a longtime vegetarian (now pescetarian, although I eat a vegetarian / vegan diet 90% of the time), I really appreciated a whole chapter devoted to vegetarian and vegan entrees; all too often, vegetarian mains are an afterthought, but here we have Indian eggs with spicy tomato pepper sauce, zucchini patties with garlicky yogurt sauce, spicy greens ravioli, Korean vegetable pancakes, stir-fried tofu, saag paneer, and Korean BBQ tofu tacos to tempt even the most hardened carnivore. Recipes from guest chefs include many familiar names such as Joanne Chang (Flour, Boston), Hiroko Shimbo, Jacques Torres, Marc Vetri, and stir-fry guru Grace Young. The book is rounded out with online and mail order sources, a handy seasonal produce guide, and metric equivalents. The one negative is that the book is not bound well; my copy has already split at the seams despite careful handling, and the cardboard cover seems to be on the flimsy side given the book's weight and bends easily. Otherwise, I look forward to trying many more recipes from Home Cooking 101 in the weeks and months to come!

Hello all I am new to woodworking and I am starting to build my arsenal of tools. I stumbled upon this band saw on C-list and was wondering if it is actually as good of a deal as it looks…
It looks beat up but I feel like with a good clean and tune up it would be an excellent saw.
Also on craigslist I stumbled upon a load (about a thousand pounds for $100!) of black walnut "scraps" from a milling project someone did. I plan on doing a ton of resawing with this saw. Let me know your thoughts!
Thank you so much!

The New Year is here. This means business owners everywhere are wondering how to set themselves up for success in 2018.
At this time, I was again, searching the web for a new processor. I was making my list of the top 5. If you have ever done this, you know how tedious and time intensive this can be. But the one thing that really frustrated me, every company looked exactly the same! I dreaded having to call, and interview, the 5 companies I had on my list. I wanted someone to do the research and work for me!
Whether you're a financial advisor, banker or offer a financial product, reaching your target audience is more about forming a relationship with them through your marketing efforts than it is accomplishing a transaction.

FDRC Colts & Fillies Show for under 12's - 15th September 2019
Our Charity show returns, which is aimed at Children under 12, who want to attend a fun local show and help raise money for a great cause at the same time. We have classes such as lead rein dressage, showing, mini jumping, gymkhanas and more. Cakes and raffle tickets will also be sold on the day.
It's a great opportunity for children to have a fun day out in memory of Maya Ford, who sadly lost her fight against Meningococcal Septicaemia in August 2012. Her family and friends have been raising money ever since to try and prevent other families having to go through the trauma.
Maya loved ponies and she would have been in her element at a show like Colts & Fillies', so we would like to bring that joy to other children, who just love to have fun on their ponies.

05 Feb What I did with my Christmas money
Welcome to Jaeda's room!
Just to remind us where we came from:
(Btw, this was before we bought the house.)
I think they call this Apartment Beige.
I should know because we put in 6 years of apartment living!
Now on to Jaeda's room.
First are a couple overview pics; then I'll get into what they call the deets.
Some specifics about what's in there.
Below is the loft side of the French doors leading into Jaeda's room.
(Jaeda's side is the yellow above.)
It'll be our office space in the future (we're currently sleeping there,
what with middle-of-the-night wakers and all), so I thought this fabric
made a versatile choice. I was inspired by this post to seek an alternative
to a traditional curtain, since we knew we'd never need the curtains open.
Was it more work than just sewing a curtain?
For sure! Cutting SIXTY rectangles (15 per door per side)
required a couple of tv shows. And adhering them to the glass
wasn't fun either. But. I really like the graphic look, and love
that the wood is still shown, soo…let's just say I'm glad it's over.
This is from Jaeda's room with the loft light on at night.
See how you can kinda see the loft-side pattern through it?
I added a layer of cardstock to help prevent that, but…
it wasn't all that successful. I'd recommend not using
patterned fabrics if you were going to try this project.
But overall, it blocks quite a bit of light. No more sneaking around in the dark for us!
This is probably my favorite project of the whole room.
It was inspired by this Pinterest find, and I spent over an hour pouring
over these Etsy fabrics. Easy project. Well worth the time for the visual impact!
Bummer that our changing pad covers don't match,
but I just can't justify buying new ones!
I think that turquoise fabric is my favorite, but they're all so great!
A good mixture of modern girlie.
This yellow one was a dress I long loved.
The white one was a sweater that I couldn't
bear to part with without a purpose.
I plan to spray the bookshelf in the spring. It came with the house, so we might as well use it!
Maybe this color? A fun splash against the yellow wall.
This book was written by…one of my friends!!
It's got great rhymes and a fun message.
Check it out on Amazon!
Now here's a dilemma I'm currently considering.
The curtains.
Does the length of the one on the right make the room feel taller,
or should I trim it like on the left to make it fit the window better?
Or maybe add some of the Etsy fabric to the bottom to bring the room together??
Would appreciate your input!
Our bug mobile. Yes, I'm afraid of spiders. No, I don't touch it.
The perfect, oh-so-soft, beautiful accessory to this gorgeous room for our gorgeous gal.
A rug hand-crocheted by Grammie!!
And one more time for my wall of love.
I gotta say I have had so.much.fun decorating this room! Several late nights to get all the
painting done, but I told James that I'm tired if I get sleep, and I'm tired if I don't, so…why not?
I'd say it took a month total of not-really-dedicated-mostly-during-nap time effort.
Just work on it here and there. Or when I could swindle a friend into coming
over and doing excessive amounts of ironing for a project (thanks, Anne! ;)).
Now if I could just get Christmas money every month, I'd start on Corban's room!

Happy Tuesday, friends! I must admit, I'm still having a hard time typing on account of my lingering sugar hangover. Binge sugaring is real, people, and on Easter the lines between having an Easter treat and consuming a truckload of jelly beans as an appetizer to breakfast got awfully blurred. So, on days like today after fab holiday weekends of playing too much and eating EVERYTHING, dresses like this comfy
sassy maxi and medicine cabinets stocked with ibuprofen are my friends. Unlike that Easter bunny who I
was my friend. He's the one who got me into this mess, and where is he now? Hopping down the bunny trail, that's where. If that's not a cautionary tail about choosing good friends then I don't know what is.
But, regardless of my hangover, I do hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!
Go ahead and tell us about it. We'd love to hear.
xo, Sam

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - U.S. airline executives were warned Thursday that Congress would not come again to the aid of the beleaguered industry like it did after the 9/11 terror attacks.
Rep. John Mica, a Florida Republican and chairman of the House aviation subcommittee, said in a hearing with the heads of the major American carriers that the industry should be able to fend for itself.
"The airlines now in trouble must be prepared to fend for themselves," Mica said. "While Congress may assist the airlines with mandated security costs and war risk insurance, let me make it clear that Congress is not going to underwrite losing airline operations."
Airlines executives agreed that the marketplace should pick the winners and losers, not the government. But there was a chorus of calls to mitigate the rising level of security-related costs as well as passenger and baggage-screening taxes that are threatening to prolong the industry's recovery.
The industry is paying over $3.8 billion per year in total security-related costs. But that figure could widen. The Bush administration has proposed to hike airport screener costs by $435 million.
"It is time for the (Bush) administration and Congress to acknowledge that aviation security is a national defense issue and to begin funding it as such," America West Chairman Douglas Parker said. "No other U.S. industry subsidizes national security like the airline industry."
Congress should reduce the burden of security-related expenses airlines bear, industry executives testified. Lawmakers pledged to work with the industry, saying at the very least they would likely extend soon-to-expire war risk insurance coverage.
The hearing came as the airline industry is still suffering from the after-shocks of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. Wall Street analysts estimate the industry stands to lose between $3 billion to $5 billion this year amid soaring fuel costs, overcapacity, labor expenses, and taxes. Some struggling airlines had hoped to turn an operating profit this year.
Major carriers are scrambling to further reduce costs to compete with low fare carriers. U.S. Airways
and Delta Air Lines
UAL UALAQ, parent of United Airlines, is soon hoping to secure a $1.6 billion federal loan guarantee that is crucial to its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Of the six airline executives who testified, only AirTran Airways
Executives from Continental
Federal taxes and security fees now account for between 23 to 26 percent of an airline ticket, executives testified.
"The 800-pound government jockey needs to consider a diet," Continental Airlines Chairman Gordon Bethune said. " I don't care if it's low-fat, low-carb, Atkins, South Beach or Palm Beach."
Lawmakers were sympathetic to extending war risk insurance for another three years, instead of one. The Transportation Department program has saved the industry $500 million to $700 million annually the past two-and-a-half years.

Sponsored: Healthcare Solutions
The Tools of the Trade
Integrating medical management with pharmacy benefit management is the Holy Grail in workers' compensation. But getting it right involves diligence, good team communication and robust controls over the costs of monitoring technology.
Risk managers in workers' compensation can feel good about the fact that opioid use is declining slightly. But experts who gathered for a pharmacy risk management roundtable in Philadelphia in June pointed to a number of reasons why workers' compensation professionals have more than enough work cut out for them going forward.
For one, although opioid use is declining, its abuse and overuse in legacy workers' compensation claims is still very much a problem. An epidemic rages nationally, with prescription drug overdose deaths outpacing those from the abuse of heroin and cocaine combined.
In addition, increased use of compound medications and unregulated physician dispensing are resulting in price gouging and poor medical outcomes.
Although individual states are attempting to address the problem of physician dispensing of prescriptions in workers' comp, there is no national prohibition against it: That despite substantial evidence that the practice can result in ruinous workers' compensation medical bills and poor patient outcomes.
"The issue is that there isn't enough formal evidence to indicate improved outcomes from the use of compounds or physician dispensed drugs, and there are also legitimate concerns with patient safety," said roundtable participant Jim Andrews, executive vice president, pharmacy, for Duluth, Ga.-based pharmacy benefit manager Healthcare Solutions.
Andrews' concerns were echoed by another roundtable participant, Dr. Jennifer Dragoun, Philadelphia-based vice president and chief medical officer with AmeriHealth Casualty.
"When we're seeing worsening outcomes and increasing costs, that's the worst possible combination of events," Dr. Dragoun said.
Whereas two years ago, topical creams and other compounds with two to three medications in them were causing concern, now we're seeing compounds with seven or more medicines in them.
How those medicines are interacting with one another, and in the case of a compound cream, how quickly they're being absorbed by the patient, are unknowns that are creating undue health risks.
"These medicines haven't been tested for that route of administration," Dragoun said.
In other words, the compounds have not been reviewed or approved by the FDA.
Carol Valentic, vice president of cost containment and medical management with third-party administrator Broadspire, said her company's approach to that issue is to send a letter to providers, through the company's pharmacy benefit administrator, alerting them to the fact that compounds are not FDA-approved and could be dangerous.
Other roundtable participants said they employ utilization review of every prescribed compound medication. They're finding that the inflation of the average wholesale price for prescriptions that pharmacy benefit managers are battling in the case of single medications is happening with compounds as well, to the surprise of probably no one.
"The cost of compounds is doubling every year," Healthcare Solutions' Andrews said.
Kim Clark, vice president of utilization management with Patriot Care Management Inc., a division of Patriot National, Inc., said Patriot has their own software, DecisionUR, and opioids as well as compound prescriptions can be directed from the PBM to utilization review.
In the area of new worries in workers' compensation, and there are plenty of them. Dragoun also pointed to the introduction of extremely high cost, albeit extremely effective specialty medications, such as those being used to treat Hepatitis C. Treatments in this area can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Domestic drug manufacturers, pressed to pursue profits as their product lines mature and their margins level off, are jockeying for dominance in this area.
"This seems to be a route that a lot of drug makers are going after. Very narrow markets but with extremely high cost medications," said Deborah Gleason, clinical resources manager, medical programs, with ESIS, Inc., the Philadelphia-based third-party administrator that is part of ACE Group.
Tools of the Trade
Given how substantially the use of prescriptions can balloon the cost of a workers' compensation claim and undermine outcomes, a number of tools are on the market that can help risk managers rein in costs.
One is urine drug monitoring, which can catch cases of drug diversion, or instances where an injured worker is ingesting unprescribed substances. But the use of that test can create its own problems, namely overutilization.
ESIS' Gleason and others use urine drug monitoring. But when the test is overused, say by being conducted every month instead of quarterly as is recommended, the members of the Philadelphia roundtable said its costs can outrun its usefulness.
Test results are frequently inconsistent, signaling that the injured workers aren't taking the prescribed medication or are taking something they shouldn't be. Drug testing shouldn't be used in isolation but rather as a component of integrated medical management.
"What's emerging today, and in some companies more prevalently, is the integration of managed care with pharmacy benefit management," roundtable participant Valentic said.
"When we're seeing worsening outcomes and increasing costs, that's the worst possible combination of events."
— Dr. Jennifer Dragoun, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, AmeriHealth Casualty
In other words, it's not enough to flag a script or pick up a urine drug monitoring test result. There needs to be a plan or a system in place that says what action should be taken with the patient once that information has been received.
Identifying a potential problem early and taking action on it is key, said ESIS' Gleason. She added that the patient's psychological state, including how they react to and perceive pain, is something that more risk practitioners should consider.
Obstacles to doing that, according to roundtable members, include a lack of awareness or acceptance of its possible advantages on the part of patients and physicians. After all, we're talking about an assessment, a list of questions, that should take no more than 15 minutes to carry out.
If a treating physician or case manager doesn't conduct a psychological test but is still concerned about the potential for pain medication abuse, there is one key question they can ask an injured worker, according to AmeriHealth Casualty's Dragoun.
"There is one question that predicts far more than any other attribute of a patient whether they are likely to abuse narcotics, and that is if they have a personal or family history of substance abuse," Dragoun said.
"You know they may ask that about the patient, but I don't know how many ask it about the family," Patriot Care Management's Kim Clark said.
Pharmacogenetic testing, that is testing an individual for how they might react to certain drugs or combinations of drugs, and not — let's be clear about this — whether they are predisposed to addiction, is also entering the market.
But as is the case with urine drug monitoring, the use of pharmacogenetic testing is no cure-all and the cost of it needs to be carefully managed.
Some vendors are pitching that it be applied to every case in a payer's portfolio. The roundtable participants in Philadelphia agreed that it should be used with far more discretion than that.
Regulating the Regulators
It's a given in the insurance business and in workers' compensation that regulators in all 50 states call the shots. There are few national laws that regulate the hazards faced by workers' compensation risk managers and injured workers.
Having said that, is it really such a pipe dream to think that the federal government could step in and provide leadership in an area that is so prone to confusion, risk and self-serving behavior on the part of some vendors and medical practitioners?
If the Philadelphia roundtable as a group could point to one place where federal regulators could do some good it would be in the area of physician dispensing. Many states have enacted legislation to curb the practice, as there is no data to prove better outcomes, and regulation by the federal government would be of benefit, the Philadelphia roundtable concluded.
Another area would be to require FDA oversight for compounds.
"The minute you need to have FDA approval of a compound, that's going to stop it," Broadspire's Valentic said.
It's a notion worth considering. After all, lives are at stake here.
Given the lack of oversight from the federal government, the roundtable participants pointed to measures in a number of states that are worth emulating. The Texas closed formulary, which limits the range of medications that can be prescribed, is one example.
The requirement in the State of New York that a prescribing physician check a state registry — what's known as a prescription drug monitoring program — to see whether a patient is already taking or has a prescription for a controlled substance, is another good example of a state government stepping in to ensure the safety of its residents.
"The minute you need to have FDA approval of a compound, that's going to stop it."
— Carol Valentic, Vice President of Cost Containment, Medical Management, Broadspire
Pennsylvania also earned praise from the roundtable for recently passing a measure limiting the amount of medication that a physician can dispense to an initial supply.
With different regulations in every state and with the average wholesale cost of prescriptions constantly on the rise, pharmacy benefit management is an art requiring constant vigilance.
"It's not an original thought, but if you stop and think about all the things that are happening in society with the addictions and the costs, the cost of doing nothing is greater than the cost of doing something.
I think that's why everybody is doing something," Healthcare Solutions' Andrews said.

I think I went a bit overboard on the highlighting on this one. Than again, the background looks like crap, so who's really gonna notice?
I don't think I've ever ACTUALLY been in this particular situation… but that's not to say the potential has not been raised… Still, that doesn't mean I'm TOO nice. Just, a bit more than is wholly self beneficial right? Aw come on… right?

Uses of Fluorescein Sodium in Ophthalmology
Uses of Fluorescein Sodium in Ophthalmology
Introduction to Drugs Used to Aid Diagnosis in Ophthalmology
The use of diagnostic dyes represents one of the most efficient, objective, non-invasive, and directly visible means we have of identifying and tracking ocular-surface changes at the cellular level. Though they're particularly useful in dry-eye diagnosis and clinical trials, the utility of these dyes also extends far beyond dry eye to numerous other ocular surface conditions that affect corneal and conjunctival cells.
These dyes are:
- Fluorescein
- Rose Bengal
- Indocyanine Green
- Trypan Blue
- Lissamine Green
The dye was first synthesized in 1871 by Adolf von Baeyer, Commonly referred to as fluorescein. The dye is used for fluorescein angiography and staining tear film, conjunctiva and cornea. It is fluorescein sodium (C20 H10 Na2 O5). It is the water-soluble salt of fluorescein, also known as resorcinolphthalein sodium, or Uranine, A member of the xanthene group of dyes. It is a highly fluorescent chemical compound synthesized from the petroleum derivatives resorcinol and phthalic anhydride.
Fluorescence (Mechanism of action)
Fluorescein is a synthetic organic compound available as a dark orange/red powder soluble in water and alcohol. Fluorescence is a type of photoluminescence that occurs when susceptible molecules known as fluorophores absorb electromagnetic energy, temporarily exciting them to a higher energy state. As the molecules return to their original energy level, they emit light of a different, usually longer wavelength.
Unlike phosphorescence, which continues to occur after the excitation source is removed, fluorescence requires continuous excitation. Once the excitation source is removed, emission of fluorescence stops almost immediately (10-8 seconds)
Fluorescence occurs naturally in certain compounds and may occasionally be observed in the human eye.
Fluorescein absorbs blue light, with peak excitation occurring at wavelengths between 465-490 nm. The resulting fluorescence occurs at the yellow-green wavelengths of 520 to 530 nm. Dye concentration and pH can affect the intensity of fluorescence. Maximum fluorescence occurs at a pH of 7.4
Fluorescence is detectable in concentrations between 0.1% and 0.0000001%. In broad-spectrum illumination, diluted fluorescein sodium appears bright yellow-green in color. When illuminated with blue light, the yellow-green color intensifies.
The fluorescent properties of this dye have made it useful in a variety of industrial, scientific, military, and medical applications
It was first fluorescent dye used for water tracing purposes.
It has been used as a visible marker for search-and-rescue operations, to track and measure flow dynamics of water sources, map subterranean water courses, track hazardous spill dispersion patterns, identify point sources of pollution, and to detect leaks or obstructions in plumbing and sewage systems.
In ophthalmology, topical application of fluorescein sodium is routinely used for:-
Fluorescein strips are used in 2% and 4% concentration
- Applanation tonometry
- As a vital stain in the documentation of ocular surface disorders such as corneal ulcers, abrasions, or other epithelial defects
- Determine tear film breakup time
- Check the fit of contact lenses
- Patency of lacrimal passageways
- To detect leakage of aqueous humour from corneal or conjunctival wounds using the Seidel Test.
- Three and nine o'clock staining- present parallel to the nasal and temporal limbus and is due to contact lens associated dry eye. Patients may experience mild discomfort.
- Dimple veil staining- is not true staining, but rather pooling of the dye into corneal indentions caused by trapped air bubbles under a poorly fitting rigid gas permeable contact lens. It presents as sharply demarcated, circular patterns of stain on the cornea.
Uses in Medicine
It has been used for intra-operative assessment of blood flow in surgical resections and grafts with a Wood's Light to excite fluorescence.
The most common uses of fluorescein angiography are in retinal or choroidal vascular diseases such as Diabetic Retinopathy
- Age-related Macular Degeneration
- Hypertensive Retinopathy
- Vascular Occlusions
Fluorescein angiography
Photographic surveillance of passage of fluorescein through retinal and choroidal circulation
A molecule is excited by light of the certain wavelength to a higher energy level, release photon then comes down to the original state
Dosage and Administration
Fluorescein angiography is performed by injecting fluorescein sodium dye as a bolus into a peripheral vein. The normal adult dosage is 500mg and is typically packaged in doses of 5 ml of 10% or 2 ml of 25%. For pediatric patients, the dose is adjusted to 35 mg per 10 pounds of body weight. Upon entering the circulation, approximately 80% of the dye molecules bind to plasma proteins. The remaining unbound or free fluorescein molecules fluoresce when excited with light of the appropriate wavelength. With a molecular weight of 376, fluorescein diffuses freely out of all capillaries except those of the central nervous system, including the retina.
The dye is metabolized by the kidneys and is eliminated through the urine within 24 to 36 hours of administration.
Side effects of intravenous fluorescein include discolouration of the urine for 24 to 36 hours and a slight yellow skin discolouration that fades within a few hours.
Nursing mothers should be cautioned that fluorescein is also excreted in human milk.
Use of fluorescein sodium may be contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to fluorescein
Complications and adverse reactions:
- Extravasation of dye
- Transient nausea
- Vomiting
- Pruritis
- Urticaria
- Bronchospasm
- Laryngeal oedema
- Anaphylaxis
- Hypotension
- Syncope
- Seizures
- Myocardial infarction
- Cardiac arrest

Every state has its own tagline, from the Golden State to the Ocean State, these sayings capture the spirit or essence of their individual domains. Louisiana is aptly dubbed "Sportsman's Paradise." This name is rooted in Louisiana's rich history of hiking, hunting and of course fishing. From the beautiful bayous to the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana's natural bounty is plentiful. Whether it's redfish or bluefin tuna, there is no shortage of fish to catch and there are plenty of experienced guides to get you on the water.
New Orleans is a city famed for its culinary prowess. Many of the city's culinary traditions can be linked back to the abundance of food available just a short distance from the city limits. If you're planning a trip to the Big Easy, it would be easy to carve out a day to explore the local waterways with a fishing guide. But once you catch all that fish, the next question is "what are you going to do with it?"
Your guide can help freeze and ship some home to you. It'd be nice to enjoy a tender piece of speckled trout with friends back home, as you recount your experiencing hooking that catch. But that doesn't have to be all you do with your edible loot.
Louisiana's Wildlife and Fisheries has come up with a solution through their Catch and Cook initiative. This program allows licensed recreational anglers to get their catch cooked in some of New Orleans best restaurants by renowned chefs. All of Dickie Brennan's Restaurants (Palace Café, Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse, Bourbon House and Tableau) participate. Their chefs take your fish haul and create a multi-course menu specially for you. There is nothing cookie-cutter about this program. The chefs consider your catch, your preferences, as well as any dietary restrictions you or your group may have. They then create an unforgettable experience for you.
Sound amazing? Now you're likely wondering how to arrange it all. Louisiana Travel has a site with an array of choices for fishing charters. Also, the Dickie Brennan Restaurant family has worked extensively with Bourgeois Charters. They know where to catch the fish and can help make the catch and cook portion seamless for you.
To book your cook part of the catch experience you need to follow these steps:
Call ahead! Give the restaurant a call 48 hours in advance of your desired reservation date/time. Let them know you are making a Catch and Cook reservation.
Deliver the fish. Fish must be cleaned and delivered by 3pm the day of the reservation.
Provide paperwork. When the fish are delivered, be prepared to show your fishing license, driver's license and sign a few papers.
Come on in! Arrive for your reservation on time and get treated to an unforgettable experience!
New Orleans is much more than Bourbon Street. This experience will give you a good taste of what this southern city has to offer.

When it comes to Rio de Janeiro you may not think about impressive architecture. As it is a city famous for carnival and beaches not for cathedral or buttresses. When you go on the next trip to Rio de Janeiro observe the city's uncommon architecture that belongs to the Portuguese colonial era. This type of architecture is spread all across the city.
A travel experience that will be part of your great memories is with Delta Airlines Flight Reservation. It is a low-cost airline that will never cause a burden on your travel budget.
To travel anywhere in the world, go for Delta Airlines Flights. Following is the list of architecture that you can observe in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Metropolitan Cathedral
It is a beautiful Rio de Janeiro architecture and its location is downtown which takes 30 minutes by metro from Copacabana and Ipanema. It was constructed in the 1960's and '70s and created a modern structure on the lines of the Mayan Pyramid.
Lapa Arches
It is located a few minutes away from Metropolitan Cathedral. It is a perfect example of great architecture. The location of Lapa Arches is just a few minutes away from the EscadariaSelaron staircase and Santa Teresa which is the part of an amazing neighborhood in Rio. A vision of Lapa Arches is beautiful during sunrise and sunset.
Niteroi art museum
Another beautiful example of Rio de Janeiro architecture is the Niteroi art museum. The location of the museum is across Guanabara bay which is accessible only by ferry ride. It is the brainchild of genius architecture Oscar Niemeyer.
Maracanã stadium
The architecture of Maracanã stadium is mind-blowing. Its location is in a district that bears its name. It is a huge round stadium that can accommodate 78000 people at one time. When visiting Rio, you can go for an organized tour of the stadium. For more gain go for Delta Airlines Deals and get offers on plane tickets as well as tour packages. Further, you can get other packages customized according to your needs.

Nodal Point. While it is not entirely essential to accurately position your camera for each image, it does make things a LOT easier if the lens is rotated as close as possible around its nodal point.
By doing so, you remove parallax errors which may require a lot of retouching to make things look right in the finished panorama. Determining the nodal point of a lens is quite easy to do visually. You will need two vertical features to use as reference points e.g. a doorway, flag/light pole, corner of a all etc... One must be very close to the camera, the other, far away. Rune Spaans - Software - Super Cubic. Here's a brief description on how to use the filters.
First some info on my setup. I shoot my panoramas using a Nikon 10.5mm fisheye lens on my full frame Canon camera. I only shoot three angles, using my Manfrotto 300N to get an accurate 120 degree separation. This is what is called a single-row panorama, since I do not shoot any photos of what is straight above or straight below. The image below show a typical panorama from my setup, after it has been compiled in PTGui. With the panorama loaded into Photoshop, the first thing to do is to duplicate the pano image onto a new layer. With this duplicate layer selected, go to the filter menu and select the '1: SuperCubic...' filter from the 'SuperRune Filters' category. Note that there's also a filter called '1: SuperCubic Express...' which will use use your saved settings and apply the filter without any preview window.
Above you see the filter preview window. Click 'OK' and the filter will start working. You are done! Adding a nadir cap (mirror ball) Photoshop I wrote a Photoshop action that produces these mirror spheres below out from an equirectangular panorama. As you can see are three sizes available. Small covers 5% ,Big 8% and XXL 12% of panorama height (equirectangular projection) Below you can see the region that will be covered with the mirrorball. Here the action set in Photoshop: Download the Photoshop action here:Media:cap.atn A similar action with text:Media:cap_text.atn For a flexible nadir cap which can be streched to your needs:Media:CapFlex.atn Don't know how to install a Photoshop action?
Worklflow 1.) Peter Nyfeler (Pitdavos) ImageMagick I wrote an ImageMagick Windows batch file to add a mirror sphere to an equirectangular panorama: How to take Nadir for panoramas. Even with a very large nadir you can use this technic.
The tripod legs are here fully extended and spread and the area marked on the floor is fully covered. You can lock the monopod leg with a peace of duct tape or outdoor you can use a spike on it. The camera is here adjusted to exactly -90 degree and set to -70 on the panohead. You can use the same way without the extra support, just by leaning the tripod and extending one leg for support.
Place your foot on it and hold the tripod with your hand. As always use a remote trigger. The image to the right shows my Monopod-Tripod which is a small tripod with the centre column exchanged with a monopod. This is a very portable solution which gives me a max height of 2,3 meters using a Manfrotto 680B Monopod with the last extension removed. Zenith and Nadir editing overview.
There is a rating system indicated by 's: : Basic need (You are interested in panoramic photography and stitching and need to know basics) : Nice to know (You have basic knowledge and want to learn more) : Specialised (You want to get the most of your equipement) Intro One of the most problematic points when shooting spherical panoramas is the view straight down also called the Nadir view.
Unfortunately neither the nadir nor the zenith (straight above) area can be edited directly in the equirectangular image since it is very distorted. You find several pages that describe how to do that. Patching Nadir There are several reasons why you want to patch Nadir and retouch it such, that nothing of the photographer and his equipment is seen any more.
