Our survey asked specific questions about the hot-button ethical issues in medicine today, but we also wanted to hear about the thorny issues that proved most troublesome on an individual level. The solutions are seldom comfortable.
Hundreds of physicians volunteered to tell us about the biggest ethical dilemma they ever faced. Their stories range from the kinds of wrenching end-of-life decisions that have confounded philosophers to more mundane matters, such as whether to provide free medical care to relatives and friends.
Most dilemmas respondents shared fell into five areas: end-of-life care, managed care pressures, blowing the whistle on another physician, doctor-patient confidentiality, and abortionthe same areas we asked specific questions about.
But numerous dilemmas defy categorization. For example, one physician wrestles with his sexual attraction to a patient, another doctor tells about being asked to perform sperm retrieval from a brain dead patient. A third is distressed because he can't give a blood transfusion to a Jehovah's Witness, who might bleed to death, while another worries about the temptation to provide a lower level of care to indigent patients.
Here are survey respondents' personal stories. The kind of experiences you just can't quantify.
End-of-life dilemmas cut both ways. Benjamin J. Levinson, an internist from Columbia, SC, had problems dealing with a patient's family who wanted to let their loved one die. The 60-year-old patient was in respiratory failure due to a lung infection. Levinson was convinced the man could survive.
"I continued with aggressive care, although the family questioned what I was doing," he says. "I had to tell them that I could not stop care until it was clear to me that the patient would not make it. It was very awkward to go against a family's wishes, but I don't believe they fully understood his medical problems. And I worried that they might have had ulterior motives. Eventually, the patient recovered."
On the other hand, some physicians worry about the high cost of aggressive treatments that might briefly prolong a patient's lifespan, but not its quality. One physician worries about "continued aggressive treatment in a medically devastated child who has no hope for any quality of life." Another doctor laments "the high cost of expensive procedures, medicines, and hospital care at the end of a patient's life, when there is great doubt of any benefit."
A cardiologist from Hayward, CA, says, "We know that invasive cardiac treatments may solve one aspect of a patient's multiple problems, but it doesn't change the big picture. Sometimes elderly folks cannot fully comprehend the treatments and risks involved. In some cases, the patient's child wants to convince the patient and me that the patient should receive all the treatments available, regardless of outcome."
Conversely, Matt Anderson, an ob/gyn from West Burlington, IA, recalls a patient whose family refused to pay for needed surgery. "Her daughter told me that there was no way I was operating on her mother because it would be fruitless, and it would use up all her moneymeaning the daughter's inheritance," says Anderson.
Turning a blind eye to the actions of colleagues who've messed up makes some physicians extremely uncomfortable. Doctors want to protect patients, but know that confronting or reporting an errant physician can bring legal or employment trouble for themselves.
One small-town doctor was disturbed by an older physician in the community. "His skills were out of date and dangerous. Trying to rectify the situation led the older physician to accuse me of antitrust violations."
Another physician remained silent when his colleague botched an operation. It nags at his conscience. "I assisted one of my partners in the resuscitation of a 3-year-old surgical patient and discovered that he had severed the esophagus. By the time I corrected the situation, it was too late, and the child died. Everyone was puzzled by the cause of the child's demise, and I did nothing to bring the true cause to light."
For some physicians, it's concern over a lawsuit that prevents them from taking action. One doctor who supervised residents tells of feeling guilty for "not failing an incompetent female colleague for fear of an unfounded sexual harassment claim."
Another physician knew that an associate had engaged in misconduct, but worried that taking action could bring retaliation: "He is known to sexually harass female employees and patients. The administration doesn't seem to care, as long as he meets his quota. He also dates co-workers and patients, although he's married. If I reported him, he could counter with a libel suit."
When doctors do turn in a colleague, they often feel tormented, even when it's the right ethical choice. One New York psychiatrist found it difficult when he reported a pharmacist who had been a personal friend. "I learned that he had kept refilling a one-week antibiotic prescription for a patient in a nursing home. He refilled it 25 times, and he billed the family each week."
Confidentiality issues bother many physicians. Some are troubled by keeping information secret, knowing that it could harm an innocent party. Others have an especially tough time with matters of teenage sexuality, or venereal disease in an allegedly faithful spouse.
Charles Shaefer Jr., an internist from Augusta, GA, was torn about "protecting the confidentiality of an HIV positive patient from his family, and from the surgical team planning elective back surgery. Eventually, the patient allowed us to inform the surgeon."
Another doctor was conflicted over "not telling the mother about the pregnancy of her 14-year-old daughter, who wanted an abortion." A third told us he feels plagued over "not informing a patient's husband that he isn't the father of the child his wife is carrying."
Then there was the doctor who watched helplessly as a teenage patient's life unraveled. Because she'd lied about her sexual activity, the doctor had given her an MMR vaccine, not realizing that she was pregnant. "We told her mother together," the doctor recalls. "The mother threw her daughter out onto the street. I could not reveal to her father [who was divorced from the mother] what was going on with his homeless, pregnant daughter who'd been given a vaccine that could cause deformities to her unborn child."
However, some doctors broke confidentiality despite potential legal ramifications. One felt compelled to "inform another doctor about the poor care given to an infant who was failing to thrive. That doctor was then able to hospitalize the infant."
Like many physicians in our survey, Michael Tschoepe, an ophthalmologist from New Braunfels, TX, reported an older patient's failing vision to his state driver license division. "I know the patient will hate me for causing him to lose his license, especially since he won't accept that his vision has declined. I've lost patients after I've told them that I had to report them. I feel bad for the patient on a human level, but I have to report him for the greater good of society."
Abortion causes pain on many fronts. Some doctors flatly refuse to perform the procedure; others who are against abortion do perform them when required, but struggle with their consciences.
"I was forced to do a hysterectomy on a uterus with a viable 23-week pregnancy, knowing it would kill the baby, but was necessary to treat the mother," admits one. Another faced an ethical dilemma over "whether to assist with an abortion for a young heroin addict when I was a medical student. I did, but I never felt good about it." One doctor had trouble "giving a morning-after pill to a patient whose father raped her."
Some talked about their conflicts when they've seen a fetus so damaged that the baby would live in a vegetative state. For one ob/gyn, the difficulty wasn't making his own decision, but "allowing patients to decide whether to abort their fetuses when the fetuses have defects that are incompatible with life."
Other doctors won't participate in anything that promotes sex outside of a husband-wife relationship: "I hold strict standardsno sex, no birth control, no Viagra outside of marriage," states one.
The difficulties of treating patients within managed care guidelines was a constant thorn to many doctors. John O. Cletcher Jr., an orthopedic surgeon from Colorado, says his dilemma is "trying to get my patients the care they need without bankrupting them."
Another physician struggles with "how I can reasonably amplify or exaggerate my patients' condition to the HMO, to get medically necessary treatment." And a third agonizes over "having to say No to tests or procedures because the insurance won't pay for it."
One doctor briefly practiced in a managed care clinic and felt that he was prevented from providing proper treatment. "I resigned after three months."
A Massachusetts internist is conflicted over "being squashed between customers who want everything for nothing, increased government vigilantism, and insurers who only want to please the money payers." Another doctor bemoans "wanting to continue practicing medicine when the reimbursement is going down, and the overhead is going up."
"Care of the poor is an issue," says a Buffalo, NY, ob/gyn. "Patients on Medicaid often request or demand expensive elective treatments, like for infertility. There's an obvious conflict between patient desire, financial realities, and my own mixed feelings."
Another physician feels some guilt at having to turn away poor patients "even though I would get paid little or nothing. I am too overworked with little time for myself." But another physician doesn't mind: "Why should we care for people who can't afford to pay? Other professions don't have to."
It's not just the poor who create payment problems. One doctor is concerned about "charging friends and other doctors for visits. As a solo doc, I need to, yet I think they expect that I won't."
Difficult patients also create ethical problems. "I wonder when to get rid of patients I don't like, or who don't pay, or are obnoxious," says one reader. Another worries "when patients are so noncompliant that care is compromised. I never know if I should just fire them so I'm not involved with poor care, or if I should hang in there and keep trying."
Some of the most heart-rending dilemmas are caused by relatives. Louis J. Cole, a GP from Odessa, TX, had a rich elderly patient whose children believed that her second husband had married her for her money. "The adult children thought he was drugging her, and wanted to get her away from him," recalls Cole. "They didn't feel she was competent to handle her affairs, so they demanded her medical records in order to have her declared incompetent. However, she had never been declared legally incompetent, and the husband didn't want to release her medical records.
"I wanted to help, but I couldn't turn over the medical records without a court order," he says. "I made a lot of enemies in that family, but there was nothing I could do."
The conflict between doctors' individual values, and those of patients, their families, or the health care system, weigh on physiciansoften for years after the incident occurred. But such ethical issues remain a key part of dealing with patients.

Generally, after suffering a concussion, patients are encouraged to avoid reading, watching TV and using mobile devices to help their brains heal. But new research shows that teen-agers who used a mobile health app once a day in conjunction with medical care improved concussion symptoms and optimism more than with standard medical treatment alone.
Researchers from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center collaborated on the study with Jane McGonigal of the Institute for the Future, who developed the mobile health app called SuperBetter after she suffered a concussion.
Results of the study are published online in the journal Brain Injury.
The 19 teens who participated in the study received standard of care for concussion symptoms that persisted beyond 3 weeks after the head injury, and the experimental group also used the SuperBetter app as a gamified symptoms journal.
“We found that mobile apps incorporating social game mechanics and a heroic narrative can complement medical care to improve health among teenagers with unresolved concussion symptoms, said first author Lise Worthen-Chaudhari, a physical rehabilitation specialist who studies movement at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center’s Neurological Institute.
The American Academy of Neurology recommends limiting cognitive and physical effort and prohibiting sports involvement until a concussed individual is asymptomatic without using medication. However, this level of physical, cognitive and social inactivity represents a lifestyle change with its own risk factors, including social isolation, depression and increased incidence of suicidal ideology, the researchers noted.
In addition, cognitive rest often involves limiting screen stimulation associated with popular modes of interpersonal interaction, such as text messaging and social networking on digital platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and multiplayer video gaming, thereby blocking common avenues for social connection.
“Teens who’ve had a concussion are told not to use media or screens, and we wanted to test if it was possible for them to use screens just a little bit each day, and get the bang for the buck with that,” Worthen-Chaudhari said. “The app rewrites things you might be frustrated about as a personal, heroic narrative. So you might start out feeling ‘I’m frustrated. I can’t get rid of this headache,’ and then the app helps reframe that frustration to ‘I battled the headache bad guy today. And I feel good about that hard work’.”
Concussion symptoms can include a variety of complaints, including headaches, confusion, depression, sleep disturbance, fatigue, irritability, agitation, anxiety, dizziness, difficulty concentrating or thinking clearly, sensitivity to light and noise, and impaired cognitive function.
Within the SuperBetter app, symptoms were represented as bad guys such as headaches, dizziness or feeling confused, and medical recommendations were represented as power ups, including sleep, sunglasses or an academic concussion management plan. Participants invited allies to join their personal network in the app and they could view their in-app activity and could send resilience points, achievements, comments and personalized emails in response to activity.
“Since 2005, the rate of reported concussions in high school athletes has doubled, and youth are especially at risk,” said study collaborator Dr. Kelsey Logan, director of the division of sports medicine at Cincinnati Children’s. “Pairing the social, mobile app SuperBetter with traditional medical care appears to improve outcomes and optimism for youth with unresolved concussion symptoms. More study is needed to investigate ways that leveraging interactive media may complement medical care and promote health outcomes among youth with concussion and the general population.”
According to a new study in the American Journal of Public Health, students with concussions show more academic dysfunction — or inability to perform at a normal academic level — one week after injury than students who experience extremity injuries.
Researchers from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry conducted a study from September 2013 through January 2015 of high school and college students who had visited three emergency departments in the Rochester, New York, area for a sports-related concussion or musculoskeletal extremity injury. Using telephone surveys, the researchers compared self-reported academic dysfunction between students with concussions and a comparison group of students with extremity injuries at 1 week and 1 month after injury.
Results showed that students with concussions had more academic dysfunction one week after injury than students who experience extremity injuries. Students with a concussion took longer to return to school post-injury and received more academic adjustments — such as extra time on tests and tutoring. The results also showed that female students and students with a history of two or more previous concussions were more susceptible to the effects of concussion. At one-month after injury, however, there were no observed differences between students with concussions and those with extremity injuries.
“Concussed students typically return to school within a week after injury, while their brains are likely still recovering,” the authors explain. “Our results emphasize the need for return-to-learn guidelines and academic adjustments based on gender and concussion history.”
Credit the state of Illinois with addressing this in a proposed law, which reads:
“Student-athletes who have sustained a concussion may need informal or formal accommodations, modifications of curriculum, and monitoring by medical or academic staff until the student is fully recovered. To that end, all schools are encouraged to establish a return-to-learn protocol that is based on peer-reviewed scientific evidence consistent with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and conduct baseline testing for student-athletes.”
Both Virginia and Nebraska have also recognized this concern.

A avid explorer, Baruah, who has a Phd in agricultural science, has hiked the jungles that rise above the great Brahmaputra River Valley for many years, documenting various cultivars and collecting specimens used in his work at TRI.
His curiosity led him to the Old Doidam area north of Myanmar, in southeastern Arunachal Pradesh. The state is India’s fifth largest tea producing region. There he met with members of the Noktey tribe who demonstrated how they make Khelap, the native word for tea. Noktey are one of the major tribes in the region that includes Daflas, Monpas, Adis, Akas, Apatanis, Mishmis, Nishis, Wangchu and Sherdukpens.Tribal people still rely on tea’s medicinal properties, an awareness that dates to Neolithic times.
“It is dried in the sun and ground for storage above the fireplace. It smells very smoky and tastes bitter. They drink it from time to time,” says Baruah.
Tribal leaders later led him to an extensive area of large wild trees. “This is the first ever report of wild trees in this area, he said. He also found a few wild trees growing near Lamlo in Natun Kheti. Baruah said that other probable areas of wild trees are Khonsa and Mishimi Hills, Miao of Arunachal Pradesh and Mon district of Nagaland along the Indio-Myanmar border.
Baruah said that local tribesmen indicated the tea plants have existed in the wild since time immemorial. “I talked to the village elders and there is no knowledge of anyone planting here,” he said.
The discovery is significant because the international genomic study describes the origin of Camellia assamica in Assam. These tea plants could be the original Camellia assamica (Master) tea plants, which grew wild in the forests of undivided Assam during a time when the seven states of north east India – Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya, and Assam – were under one umbrella.
He said that tea plants, locally known as “Thing Pi”, are also found to be growing wild across the mountain ranges of Manipur. “The leaves from such trees are processed locally and brewed in a typical style for domestic consumption,” he said.
“Based on the morphological characteristics, these tea plants could be the masters of the Assam tea race… further scientific study is required to ascertain the fact,” he said.
There are 82 Camellia species of which three, Camellia sinensis (var. sinensis, var. assamica and var. lasiocalyx), are brewed as beverages. Lasiocalyx is found in Cambodia is primarily used for developing hybrids. Tea plants on Assam’s vast plantations today are mostly cross-breeds of Sinensis and the Cambodia variety, pruned low to facilitate plucking.
“Genetic studies reveal Assam tea to have a distinct genetic lineage from China tea, indicating that the origin of Assam tea is Assam itself and not introduced from China as predicted earlier,” says Baruah. However, one assamica varietal does appear to have originated in China.
A 2016 research paper on the Biodiversity of Assam and Tea presented by Baruah at the Assam Agricultural University International Conference, cited genetic studies carried out by Muditha K. Meegahakumbura that were published in a prestigious international journal. The differences in tea are likely the result of three independent domestication events from three separate regions across China and India, according to Meegahakumbura et. al., who based his conclusions on structure, PCoA and UPGMA analyses.
Meegahakumbura concluded that unlike southern Yunnan Assam tea (found near Xishuangbanna, Pu’er City), western Yunnan Assam tea (found near Lincang, Baoshan) shares many genetic similarities with India’s C. sinensis var. assamica. Thus, western Yunnan Assam tea and Indian Assam tea both may have originated from the same parent plant in the area where southwestern China, Indo-Burma, and Tibet meet. However, as the Indian Assam tea shares no haplotypes with western Yunnan Assam tea, Indian Assam tea is likely to have originated from an independent domestication.A significant proportion of samples were shown to possess genetic mixtures from different tea types, suggesting a hybrid origin for these samples, including the Cambodia type. The study revealed that Chinese C. assamica has a distinct genetic linage compared to C. assamica tea from Assam. Chinese assamica and Indian assamica were likely domesticated independently in southern Yunnan, China, and the western portion of Yunnan Province, and Assam, respectively.
Historians suggested that Assam tea had been introduced from China, but the researchers found that the short breeding history of this tea in Assam made that unlikely. According to them, if the Chinese Assam and Indian Assam teas were from the same origin, they should have been genetically much more similar. These studies further supplement the fact that the Assam type of tea originated from Assam itself and genetically diverse from other types of tea.
Baruah said that planting materials for future quality, pest and disease resistant plants with unknown quality parameter with special characteristic could be discovered from these wild tea plants of Assam and north east India.
“There is a great future of producing specialty wild tea which has a big international market,” says Baruah.

Monitoring the level of phreatic aquifers is very important to protect and to preserve underground freshwater, which plays a key role in many human activities, particularly in agriculture. Aquifers have a process of natural recharge supplied by meteoric water that penetrates the ground and accumulates, but if withdrawals are greater than the refilling process, they shrink and may generates several issues. Measurement stations are off-the-shelf available and parameters are usually assessed with periodic and man-made measurements, which makes the whole process expensive and uncomfortable. To overcome these limits, a complete IoT system for continuously and remotely monitoring of phreatic aquifers has been developed (Figure 1). It consists of ultra-low power hardware that exploits smart strategies to store and save energy. We used the MSP430FR5739 ultra-low power microcontroller which embeds a non-volatile Ferroelectric-RAM (FRAM) memory, a step-up DC/DC converter to raise the input voltage up to a suitable level (from ≈130 mV to more than 4.5 V), a storage capacitor, a smart phreatimeter and the Semtech SX1276 radio chip equipped with a LoRATM modem. This radio interface allows to transmit acquired data kilometers away also in a noisy environment—conversely to what happens for example in a ZigBee or other WSN scenario—exploiting low complexity network topology and a simple network protocol. The smart phreatimeter exploits the change in capacitance of a cable made of two parallel conductors when it is in contact with water that has a relative permittivity (εr) higher than air (81 and 1 respectively). We measured the capacitance using the measurement process summarized in Figure 2 and, for example, we were able to appreciate variations from 174.54 pF for 80 cm of immersion to 307.36 pF in case of 160 cm (Figure 3 presents the extracted characteristic). The power supply is generated in an eco-friendly and zero emission manner by means of a terrestrial Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) that ensures a very long energy autonomy. An MFC is an electrochemical bioreactor (cfr. Figure 5) which generates electrical energy exploiting the energy contained in chemical bounds of organic nutrients by means of electrogenic bacteria in an anaerobic environment. To cope with transient and intermittent power supply, the FRAM and “Hibernus” library have been used to be compliant to the recent Transient Computing paradigm (Figure 4). Finally, by carefully characterizing the MFC’s average production and the power consumption of system single components’ (Figure 6), we implemented a simple simulator to evaluate the most suitable storage size for each application (Figure 7) and the tradeoff among speed of charge (few mF) and a longer IoT operations (1F); depending also on the LoRATM modem setup (bitrate, BW, etc.).

Remembering Al Ross, Longtime Radio Broadcaster
Ross’s 53-year career included 14 years as host of ‘Spectrum West’ on WPR
V1 Staff |
Everyone at Volume One is deeply sorry to say goodbye to our very good friend Al Ross, of Wisconsin Public Radio here in Eau Claire, who passed away last weekend after a battle with cancer. Since 2008, Al hosted Spectrum West (which in spirit was the radio version of Volume One), along with The Big River Radio Wave. Al was always very generous to us and so many others in the cultural community with his time, talent, and attention, and his golden voice and wit were always a pleasure to behold. You made a difference here Al, and those of us at Volume One, along with so many across this community, will always remember you fondly.
Read more about Al here, courtesy Wisconsin Public Radio:
Al Ross, Longtime “Spectrum West” Host on Wisconsin Public Radio Passes Away at 73
MADISON, WI - Wisconsin Public Radio is sad to announce the death of longtime friend and colleague Al Ross, host of the western Wisconsin regional arts and culture program “Spectrum West.” He was 73 years old. Ross joined WPR in 2008, providing local news breaks and announcements during “The Joy Cardin Show” and “Morning Edition” from our Eau Claire studios. The following year, he became the host of “Spectrum West,” a role well suited to his skills as a producer and interviewer.
“We are all saddened by this news,” Interim WPR Director Tom Luljak said. “Al was a beacon for the arts and humanities in western Wisconsin and an outstanding example of our commitment to serving local communities across the state.” On air and in the community, he was a champion for the arts and served as moderator in the public forums that launched Eau Claire’s Confluence Center and the Pablo Center for the Arts.
Born and raised in the Fox Valley, Ross enjoyed a 53 year career in radio, including 14 years at WPR. He worked on air and in management at commercial stations in Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin, before launching his own business as an independent producer in the 1990s. “Al was a consummate professional who was always eager to lend an ear and advice to young broadcasters who came his way,” retired WPR Senior Regional Manager Dean Kallenbach said. “He could have retired years ago but told me hosting ‘Spectrum West’ was more fun than any gig of his career. I'll miss him on the air, and I'll miss him as a friend.”
In addition to hosting “Spectrum West,” Ross co-created and co-hosted a variety show with musician Mac Cherry called “The Big River Radio Wave.” The show — which ran for eight years — was recorded live at the Big River Theatre in Alma, WI and celebrated the culture of the Mississippi River with comedians, musicians, and storytellers. It was broadcast on WPR stations in west and southwest Wisconsin during the summer with select episodes airing statewide.
Rich Kremer, WPR’s Eau Claire-based reporter, remembers Ross as a true believer in the power of the arts to transform lives and communities. Ross won multiple awards for his work, including “Best Interview” and “Best Radio Show” from the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association.
“For years I watched authors, artists and musicians walk into the studio with Al and would sometimes hear their muffled laughter from my office next door,” Kremer said. “By showtime, he had meticulously transformed those moments into award-winning shows delivered with a smoothness that belied the effort that went into them. Al was a generous colleague, mentor and friend who I will deeply miss.”

An encouraging but spotty sophomore album
Melbourne-based punk band Cable Ties pose a talent that most musical acts do not: the ability to distill a deeply set rage and frustration with the status quo into art that feels driven by a creative vision with poignant specificity. In the case of Cable Ties and their new album Far Enough, the product of this distillation process is punk. Much of the tracks are good by punk standards, but over the course of this sophomore album, the group reveals a tendency to overstay their welcome, opting for unneeded repetition and aimlessness over tight songwriting that could otherwise beautifully emphasize the importance of their message.
Opening on “Hope,” the track has some gorgeous guitar build-up and amazing vocal performances, but issues quickly start to appear around the three-minute mark. The second half of the song lacks the same diversity that the first half exemplified. The vocal range feels as if it’s becoming more and more limited as the song progresses, while the intense production grows old concurrently. There are some rewarding moments in the second half, but nothing to justify the runtime. “Tell Them Where To Go” shows the band can be a bit more focused while delivering heavy guitar and pounding drums to match the vocal severity. By “Sandcastles,” the self-assured and anthemic single, the band’s affinity for repetition and dwelling on the same musical idea for just a bit too long is clear, and not at its worst yet.
“Lani” is that moment. This indulgent cut of over seven minutes does much to contribute to the lack of momentum on this project. It’s tough to keep things moving along in an eight-track album when track five is a seven-minute bore. “Not My Story,” the following track isn’t nearly as rough but also does little to leave a strong impression beyond the interesting lyrical approach to bad relationships. It feels like exhibit Z of Cable Ties delivering on content within their music, but not quite delivering a hard-hitting enough take elsewhere in the composition to stick with the listener.
Take track five as an example of what the group is capable of, “Self-Made Man.” There’s plenty of content in these incisive lyrics. Clocking in at about three minutes and 43 seconds, the band is able to lend ample time to their complex subject matter of male hypocrisy while still remaining focused and concise. It’s a very entertaining song that gets that point across quickly and without any fat. The two tracks that close the album are not this. “Anger’s Not Enough” is one of the most frustrating cuts in terms of length relative to the action, and the closer, “Pillow,” isn’t much better. To make matters worse, both of these songs have a lyrical density that would’ve been much more important when backed by more diverse production.
While this album is far from perfect, this is the type of less-perfect-album that should provoke hope and excitement in fans. This project has the aforementioned and ever-elusive “vision,” the execution just left something to be desired. To put it a different way, Far Enough proves that Cable Ties can conjure certain subject matter in a way that holds one’s attention, and apply it well to their unique punk context. Simply put, the core issues with this album might’ve been solved by a bit more discretion in terms of cutting the songs down. It’s an exciting time for Cable Ties; Far Enough is evidence that they’re just a few steps removed from making a really special album.


The new TK-01RR is an e-enduro that adopts the most modern technical solutions, with the aim of making every riding phase exciting and letting you experience off-road in its maximum expression, even on the most inaccessible routes.
The new Shimano EP8 drive unit is pure performance, with a weight of 2.6 kg which makes it one of the lightest and most compact engines in the segment and a maximum torque of 85Nm with a maximum servo assistance ratio of 400%. The torque is always delivered with maximum fluidity and naturalness, also thanks to a 36% reduction in friction compared to the MIG-RR model. Combined with the new Shimano E-tube Project App, the EP8 system allows advanced degrees of customization, to adapt the character of the engine to your needs. The application allows you to vary maximum torque, acceleration and assistance timing in real time, even using the smartphone wirelessly.
The new aluminium frame features a verticalized downtube that houses an integrated 630Wh Shimano battery, thus ensuring good autonomy without sacrificing the handling given by a low centre of gravity. The geometries of the TK-01RR are geared towards more extreme e-enduro use, with a 64.5° head angle, an elongated top tube and a 75.5° vertical seat tube. The introduction of the new 1.8" tapered standard head tube brings an innovation in terms of design and style, but above all greater stiffness in the steering area, particularly important for tackling the most difficult passages at high speeds.
The TK-01RR is fitted with high-end components, such as the 12-speed transmission and Shimano XT brakes. This four-piston system, in combination with 203 mm discs with “Ice technologies” cooling function, always guarantees powerful and adjustable braking. The brand new 180mm Öhlins RXF 38 fork is muscular and ensures steering precision and a wide range of customization options. In addition, the fully adjustable 170mm Öhlins TTX shock absorber offers excellent descent progressivity without compromising pedalling.

Meeting the need for a powered battle suit in the male division of the Zentradi army, the Nousjadeul-Ger is a functional if unremarkable mecha. The battle suit is operated by a single pilot and possesses a small armament with just enough weapons diversity to match most foes.
Technology and Combat Characteristics
The Nousjadeul-Ger's primary weapon is a large plasma cannon mounted across the back engine mount, capable of being swiveled forward and ready to fire very quickly. In short range battle, the suit is equipped with a torso mounted impact cannon and can carry a variety of small arms in either (or both) of the hands.
The strength of the Nousjadeul-Ger lies in its versatility for all-environment deployment and suitability for most combat operations. When on a planet, the Nousjadeul-Ger is not limited to surface operations like the Reguld nor is it strictly an air unit like the Gnerl. The battle suit can engage in long-range flight within the atmosphere and can use this capability to broaden its combat effectiveness using its limited array of weaponry.
The suit is also an excellent close-quarters, large-scale combat unit, capable of swift hand-to-hand fighting and possessing enough physical strength to cripple the most heavily armored enemy mecha. Lacking superior firepower and designed without preference for any single combat situation, the Nousjadeul-Ger is nonetheless a practical mecha capable of competent performance in most operations.
- Large-bore medium-range liquid plasma cannon
- Medium-bore rapid-fire impact cannon
- Small hand weapons

The format of the data is either engineering units, twos complement hexadecimal format or percentage of full-scale range (FSR),depending on the module ‘s configuration. It then uses its microprocessor-controlled D/A converter to convert the digital data into output signals. You get a true readback of the analog output signal from the unit ‘s ADC, which independently monitors the output. You can specify slew rates and start up currents through the configuration software. The Analog Output Module can supply single-channel analog output in a range of voltages or currents. They protect your equipment from ground loops and power surges by providing opto-isolation of the D/A output. The transformer based isolation is up to 3000 VDC.

Can We Trust the NSA With Our Secrets?
Posted at 12:45 p.m. on June 10, 2013
While much of the focus in the recent revelations about the National Security Agency has been on the breadth of the government’s ability to collect information, Farhad Manjoo wonders whether the leaks highlight the government’s inability to keep that information a secret.
“The worst part about the NSA’s surveillance is not its massive reach. It’s that it operates entirely in secret, so that we have no way of assessing the sophistication of its operation. All we have is the word of our politicians, who tell us that they’ve vetted these systems and that we should blindly trust that the data are being competently safeguarded and aren’t vulnerable to abuse.”
“The scandal isn’t just that the government is spying on us. It’s also that it’s giving guys like Snowden keys to the spying program. It suggests the worst combination of overreach and amateurishness, of power leveraged by incompetence.”

I just can't work under these conditions! ;)
Typical supervisor - laying down on the job instead of supervising! PFFT ;) Z tried on the panties but had too much junk in his trunk, so we had to come up with an alternative photo placement opportunity :D
Here's the project I'm working on now - a small simple quilt for my buddy Mason ...
... a close-up of the puppy fabrics in the quilt :)


No sooner had I said goodbye to one King and I had to say goodbye to another. The first, of course, was the great Bill King whose legacy is now being championed into the Hall of Fame as fans cast their votes on line. The second king, while also having a distinctive voice in Oakland history, comes in the shape and spirit of a lively libations joint or better known as a good ole fashioned bar.
Last Sunday night, I joined a room full of customers as we bid a final farewell to the Kings X, a great joint that’s been standing tall on the corner of Piedmont Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road since 1968 when Andy Mousalimas, his wife Mary and brother-in-law John Kumarelas established a new tradition in Oakland.
Over the years, along with the atmosphere that could be taken right out of an episode of Cheers, the “X” touted trivia champions, Fantasy Football, gin rummy tournaments for men and women, and even a meal or two along the way.
In May of 1991, Mousalimas sold the Kings X to Nicholas Haney who added windows to the all-brick exterior, kept the spirit going with Fantasy Football, added a pool table and televisions, attracted a new young crowd that joined some of the veterans, and the place continued to enjoy lively activity – until last Sunday night.
The Kings X has been sold and it soon will open again with a new name to start another era but that, dear readers, is for another column. For now, I can proudly say that I reminisced right along with the others on Sunday and was happy to see Andy and Mary Mousalimas there. Again, it was a sweet taste of the past. The thing about the “X” in its hey day was that a single woman could always go there and feel comfortable as they chatted amongst friends and patrons from all walks of life.
In 1991, I wrote that the Brooklyn steam beer stained-glass window that had distinguished the Kings X building since the early 1900s was put in a box, back-lit, and hung inside on the wall. When Haney bought the X, Mousalimas told him that if he ever got rid of the stained glass, he had to donate it to the Oakland Museum. Haney announced on Sunday night that he would keep that promise. He’s also giving the stained glass Kings X sign behind the bar to Mousalimas, a fitting gesture.
“On a handshake,” Mousalimas told me in 1991, “he promised me that whenever the time comes that he gets rid of the window, he will turn it over to the Oakland Museum.” The stained-glass window was made in 1905 by Dumbrinck of Oakland.
As for my 1991 column, it was one of the few items framed, faded, and left on the walls Sunday night. Jay Knowland, a long-time Kings X friend and patron, was helping to serve up a few drinks and then he carefully removed it from the wall to give it to my daughter, Alexis. Alexis, 27, was now part of the next Kings X generation and her nostalgia won out. Her disappointment at the closing of another chapter, however, did not go by unnoticed.
For me it was bittersweet, as I remember reading my father’s (Perry Phillips) columns from the Oakland Tribune when they were posted on the wall before me. Ironically, my father passed away the same weekend that Mousalimas had his retirement party and passed the baton to Haney. My dad, along with a few other Kings X customers I’m sure, now rests peacefully at the end of the street at the beautiful Mountain View Cemetery. I like to think that the spirits on Piedmont Avenue will remain lively.
As we raised our glasses for the last time, I could only be thankful for the memories and wonder where that fabulous exterior Kings X sign is going. Hello, Oakland Museum, the Brooklyn steam beer sign needs a drinking partner.

Laura over at What to Read Next invited me to be a guest on her weekly podcast and I had a wonderful time! Come listen to us discuss book clubs (and how I am in too many), favorite authors, top books & over-rated books, reading on the subway, and more!
Published (Paperback): March 4, 2014 by Anchor

Book Club Award for Author of the Year (2016)
The paperback clocked in at 588 pages. I will admit that it was a very slow start for me and if it weren’t for book club I probably would have set it aside after reading over 200 pages. BUT, I am glad I kept with it! For me this was one of the rare instances where the book got better and better with each turn of the page.
There is no doubt that author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, writes beautifully. In each scene I felt I was there: it’s usually hard for me to wrap my head around a lot of description but she did it with ease.Read More »

I love music just as much as I love books and every Saturday share my Top 5 Saturday Nite Jams in my Instagram stories. This week’s post I thought I would review my latest book club read: Matchmaking for Beginners by Maddie Dawson and dedicate my weekly jam list to the book. After my review you can check out which 5 songs I would pick to describe this book.Enjoy!
This darling of a book was exactly what I needed to round out the majority of heavy reads I completed this month. It was simply delightful: filled with a humor and that butterflies in your stomach feeling. If this book was a living thing I would want to hug it(and if you know me, I hate hugs).Read More »
Before I get into the review of the actual book I would be remiss if I did not state how fascinating these women’s stories were. I can’t believe I had never heard of their suffering before picking this book up for book club. How did I not learn about this in history class?! More on this after we discuss book details.

I do appreciate Kate Moore for bringing this story to my attention. I do wish the book was written and edited better. I am not afraid of big books (this one clocked in 406), but this one did not need to be that long. It was often repetitive and didn’t have a consistent flow. But,I learned so much. I was often angry and repulsed by what I learned and wondered how some of the executives, doctors and lawyers, etc. slept at night? My goodness. All the angry feels.Read More »

I alternated back and forth between reading the hardcover and listening to the audio (which had 3 narrators). I liked to do that with books so I can optimize my reading time, especially when I have book club deadlines!
I liked the story, but at the 70% mark it just became okay to me. It wasn’t terrible, but I wasn’t moved in any way by it. The author did a good job of capturing the different dynamics within families, communities and the workplace (whether that workplace was legit or not). I always find the sign of the times of historical fiction fascinating. Read More »

What did I just listen to?If it weren’t for narrator Julia Whelan I probably would have canned this one. (She was brilliant!) Well actually who am I kidding, no I wouldn’t. It was a book club pick and I don’t like showing up to book club unprepared so I would have suffered reading this one (thank goodness it was an audio instead).Read More »

What an interesting concept for a book! Four siblings – during their youth – will visit a fortune teller who will tell them each individually the date of their death: no sibling telling the other. How they live the rest of their lives may- or may not – be dependent on “knowing.”Read More »
Let’s start with the movie trailer of this book to movie:
Wow, right?Wrong. Book lovers rarely say they love the movie more than the book, as there are always a bit of changes made. Let’s hope for this movie’s sake – which I have to see now – that they made lots and lots of changes.Read More »

I started this book in Belfast, brought it with me to Paris and Avignon, and wound up finishing it in Nice. I could say that this book is quite the world traveler.
I am tardy to the party in reading this book; mainly due to the fact that love triangles make me uncomfortable and I try to avoid them like the plague. What forced me to read this – and thank goodness for it because I was missing out – was my book club’s August pick.
Three’s Company? More like three’s a crowd.

This book is deep dude.
But, in all seriousness, author Mohsin Hamid did an exceptional job at conjuring up my inner psyche and putting it to work. The first half of this book I was sucked in and kept stopping and thinking “wow, what would this be like for me?” and even more so “this is all too relevant and that is scary.”Read More »

Connect with Accursed Spawn
Listen to Accursed Spawn
The Canadian death metal scene is an underground sea of brutality, technical mastery, and awe-inspiring presence. From countless offerings to choose from in the form of the likes of more obscure greats such as AEPOCH to more well-known acts like Beneath The Massacre, there is truly an abundance of crushing riffs and fast paced destruction that sweeps and trickles down from our northern brethren. Today's band, Accursed Spawn by name, is no different. Formed in 2010 in the heart of Ottawa, Ontario, these gore-obsessed death metallers have thus far released a couple of EPs in the past, with this new effort being their debut full length album. Time to check it out and see what all the fuss is about...
The Virulent Host is the ominous title of Accursed Spawn's first full length and it is clear from the get-go that they're taking a bit of a brutal/techy approach here. Mind you, I haven't listened to the previous EPs, so I'm solely judging this one on its own merits. Anyway, this new release boasts nine songs, amounting to over forty minutes of brutal content. Additionally, the record is apparently being released through the PRC Music label, which saw the release of many other notable acts, particularly Pyrrhon as well as Beyond Creation.
The Virulent Host sets out with a strong first impression in the form of 'Bhopal '84', which also happens to be possibly the strongest track on the album. This four or so minute opening track does so many things right in terms of brutality, edgy yet technical riffs and technical prowess that it could put almost any death metal fan on edge. The Dying Fetus-esque guitars combined with blast beats and decent vocal growls really ties everything together in this release for the most part. Roughly 85% of The Virulent Host is on a lightning pace, though there are notable segments, especially in later tracks, in which the tempo slows down a bit to make way for a melodic section or some guitar solo action.
'Bloodforged' is a shorter song on here that relies on fast-paced chromatic riffs and shredding to get its point across. Overall, it's not the most memorable offering, but it does have kind of a decent outro. 'Interrogated Bludgeoning' is another formidable song, though it feels like it drags on a bit long, but the inclusion of variety really hits the mark for me in all the tracks after that. From the catchy tremolo riffs in 'The Virulent Host' to the oldschool death metal vibes and breakdowns in both 'Cesium 137' as well as 'Shotgun Facelift', this album does a ton of things that work in its favour and really breaks it down to create an identity for itself. The energy and musicianship on here rarely ever lost me and I felt a lot of satisfaction by the time 'Dogmatic Affliction', the outro track, come on and wrapped everything up.
In all, the debut offering courtesy of Accursed Spawn is certainly one that is worthy of spawning more brutal riffs and hard-hitting technicality for the band in the future. It's pure, unadulterated death metal on the surface; however, once listeners dive in deeper when it comes to The Virulent Host, it is made apparent that the conjunctive display of complex musical patterns and edgy, fast-paced vibes is actually fairly flexible at its core: a factor of this album that helps to make the artists' brand of death metal one that rather sticks out.
Fave Tracks: 'Bhopal '84', 'Cesium 137', 'Shotgun Facelift'

Thank you Allan for your response. It's appreciated.
I've been using onboard chipset Intel RAID's now since their infancy in the late 80's and have just recently had problems using on-board chipset array's. And it's only when I use the Rapid Storage Technology Management drivers within the monitoring software packages. I have UPS' and liked being able to turn on the additional write-cache for additional performance as it made about a 30% increase. Then corruption started occuring corrupting the entire RAID 10. Making it entirely unusable or recoverable. I thought maybe the optical drives were the reason but I believe it is in 'turning on the write cache' with having the optical drives attached. Or using all 6 ports.
Thank you again.

Vermont is big on vacations, thanks to its charming landscapes, alluring attractions, and friendly locals. The Green Mountains are a towering presence in the state. Add the pristine Lake Champlain and the lush valleys, and nature lovers can consider Vermont their home away from home. Exploring the forest areas of this landlocked destination means having a peaceful time with the environment.
Tourism is one of the largest industries of Green Mountain State, so travelers can rest easy knowing they are in good hands. Even its small towns have reliable accommodations and perfect tourist spots that make for a satisfying vacation. Viva, Vermont!
For those who want to have a weekend filled with fun, the town of Chester is ready to serve guests.
The Williams River passes through this Green Mountain community, making it an exciting recreational destination for friends, families, and solo travelers. Its cool waters await swimmers while the riverbanks are the perfect spot to cast a line.
Sightseers are in for a treat, too, as the town has two historic districts where they can check out granite houses, Victorian homes, and other abodes that are architecturally wonderful. In Chester, everything is charming.
Skiers are probably familiar with Stowe, the “Ski Capital of the East.” Its location between Mount Mansfield and the Green Mountains makes it the perfect playground for snow-heads.
This charmer’s most famous attractions include Stowe Mountain Resort and Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum.
When winter says goodbye, the town’s recreation trail and the Cady Hill Forest are ready to be with hikers, bikers, and walkers. Stowing away in Stowe means having a good time, whatever the season and the reason.
The 900 residents of Woodstock are always eager to have guests around, especially since the village is a place where relaxation is omnipresent. Why so?
Tourists should imagine this: the breeze from the Ottauquechee River will accompany them during breakfast.
After a morning inspiration, they will stroll along the historic district to get the vibe of the town. They can also start their day hiking, horseback riding, or biking along scenic trails and farms.
If they plan to fish, the river is fine. If they want to ski or snowshoe, the trails are enticing. In Woodstock, fun stays with the seasons.
Small but visible. That can be the motto of Middlebury, a town teeming with attractions and institutions. Aside from its educational landmarks, this Vermont wonder has such attractions as a history museum, memorials, and a tiny cactus garden.
It's surrounded by Mother Nature's artworks, namely, Green Mountains, Otter Creek, Middlebury River, Chipman Hill, and the Champlain Valley — all working together to deliver worthwhile memories for tourists of varying tastes.
Whether visitors want to explore the town or be one with nature, Middlebury is a top choice.
During winter, Burke turns into a snow paradise, thanks to the trails of Burke Mountain that will challenge yet satisfy skiers. Traveling the cross-country paths will take skiers along scenic views where they can rediscover the meaning of winter wonderland.
When the ice thaws, the town becomes a warming place where sunshine is a playmate.
Since the village is hugged by mountains and lakes, hikers and swimmers can have inspiring moments whether they want to break a sweat or just relax by the shore. Burke’s the best.
For a small town, Dorset has a lot of stories to tell. For starters, it is home to the historic Cephas Kent's Dwelling, which played a role in the establishment of the Vermont Republic and later statehood.
Those are just the start because the Taconic Mountains, Batten Kill, Otter Creek, and other Dorset nature spots are also waiting for curious tourists.
Those visiting Warren would want to pass by the iconic Warren Covered Bridge, a structure so strong and symbolic. The Mad River passes through town, and though it’s named as such, it brings joy.
Nestled in the Green Mountains, this community is most famous for the Sugarbush Resort, one of the largest in the region.
Winter travelers will enjoy the terrains of the valley, while those coming during other seasons have the scenic Long Trail at their disposal. Warren aims to wow.
Historic buildings abound in Putney, making it a haven for history buffs. Its historic district has various structures that will impress lovers of architectural wonders.
Among the humble buildings are a Victorian house, another one with a Greek Revival style, the Italianate town hall, and a theater that was once a livery stable.
The town is bordered by the Connecticut River in the east, with its breeze encouraging tourists to walk more, so they can understand why Putney is a place of peace.
Waitsfield is worth a visit because of its stunning scenery. Located in the valley of Mad River and hugged by the Green Mountains, this town knows how to use such landscapes to impress tourists.
Since it is near the ski resorts of Sugarbush and Mad River Glen, many travelers opt to stay here when having winter fun.
When the snow disappears, there's the river where tourists can swim or have a picnic by the side. Waitsfield is worth the wait.
Grafton has a small-town vibe because it only has 645 residents. As such, this hospitable community is more than eager to welcome tourists who want to check out why the place is charming.
Aside from the pristine Saxtons River, the town has the scenic Grafton Trails & Outdoor Center for those who want to break a sweat; a lush garden; welcoming farms; fun-filled museums; and enriching galleries.
This Vermont destination is small but big on surprises. Grafton is a sweet escape.

Have your say on the Stowmarket wellbeing and leisure hub
Residents, community groups and sports clubs are being invited to have their say on the development of plans for new leisure, health and wellbeing facilities in Stowmarket.
Outline plans that could see new and improved facilities for a wide range of sports, leisure, education and health organisations in Stowmarket can be viewed online with a feedback form to gather information on how the site is currently used as well as how it could be used in the future.
The proposals, which focus on land surrounding Stowmarket High School and Chilton Fields, include a multi-agency wellbeing hub, a 4g sports pitch and a multi-use 2g pitch, a mini athletics track, new multi-sports pavilion, a multi-use games area, four new indoor sports courts and new cricket square and nets. In addition, the plans include improvements to walking and cycling routes to and from the site.
Cllr Harry Richardson, Mid Suffolk District Council cabinet member for economic growth commented:
“We believe our plans to develop a range of health, sport, leisure, and wellbeing facilities across one site will provide an enormous benefit the community in Stowmarket, however, it is crucial that we hear directly from those people who may want to access the new facilities. This will ensure we can create a masterplan that meets the needs of those who will use it now and in the future.”
Funding for this stage of the project was agreed by Mid Suffolk District Council earlier this month and will allow the Council, in conjunction with a range of partners, to develop detailed designs for the project, seek public feedback on the plans and prepare and submit a planning application for the scheme.
The masterplan is being developed in partnership with key stakeholders including Stowmarket High School, Suffolk County Council, Stowmarket Town Council, and other local primary schools, Stowmarket leisure centre, local Clinical Commissioning Groups, Active Suffolk, local sports clubs and Sport England, alongside ward councillors.
Jo Churchill, MP for Bury St Edmunds commented:
“When I started the project for better health, education and leisure facilities for Stowmarket, I realised we had a long way to go, but people had been telling me for years that they needed more facilities. So, I am delighted to see this project is moving forward as a result of fantastic partnership working from key players in Stowmarket and the wider county. I encourage residents to view the proposals and share their thoughts to help shape the plans for sport, leisure, health and wellbeing for the future in the town. I look forward to continuing to work with all stakeholders to ensure we get the right result so future generations have access to high-quality facilities.”
The proposals outline how current sports facilities across two parcels of land in the northwest of Stowmarket could be improved or replaced to meet the needs of local clubs and groups, enabling them to be more inclusive whilst encouraging more people to get active.
Plans for the proposed sport and wellbeing hub will also go on display at a public exhibition to be held in the John Peel Centre between 22 – 24 September.
