Justin 'Jeeky' Hutchinson guilty of murdering New Orleans man at Marrero bar & grill
A Jefferson Parish jury on Thursday night (May 26) found Justin A. "Jeeky" Hutchinson guilty as charged of second-degree murder for shooting a New Orleans man repeatedly outside a Marrero bar and grill.
Using his 9mm semiautomatic pistol, Hutchinson, 32, of Marrero, shot Rashad Lewis once in the head, five times in his left abdomen and once in the pelvis as he sat in the driver's seat of his parents' 2016 Mercedes Benz SUV.
Hutchinson then grabbed Lewis' .40 caliber semiautomatic pistol from inside the vehicle and fired repeatedly at the SUV. In all, Hutchinson fired 17 bullets at Lewis and Lewis' SUV.
Lewis, 29, died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.
The shooting happened about 10 p.m., on Oct. 21, 2020, in a bar and grill parking lot in the 6500 block of Lapalco Boulevard. Lewis was among about 50 people gathered at the business to celebrate the memory of a friend who had been killed in New Orleans. Lewis was friends with that victim's brother.
Immediately after shooting Lewis, Hutchinson ran by the entrance to the bar and waived the pistol at the patrons inside before he ran on. Hutchinson was known to many people in that part of Marrero.
A Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office juvenile detective who just completed curfew checks happened to be driving by, heard the gunfire and saw a man dressed in distinctive clothing — Hutchinson – running from the scene. The detective saw the suspect discard the 9mm pistol in a yard in the 2000 block of Betty Street. Sheriff's Office ballistics experts later concluded that pistol was used in this crime. The .40-caliber pistol was not recovered.
The crime was recorded by a video surveillance system, and jurors were shown the recordings. The video showed Hutchinson and Lewis exchanging words several times in the minutes before the shooting. Further, Hutchinson was identified as the shooter.
Investigators also found Hutchinson's social media posts from that evening, in which he told his followers two hours before he shot Lewis that he was at the Lapalco Boulevard bar and grill. After killing Lewis, Hutchinson remained at large for more than three weeks, when he surrendered to the Sheriff's Office.
In addition to the murder charge, Hutchinson was convicted as charged of obstruction of justice, for removing the pistols from the scene.
He also was convicted as charged of two counts of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He was legally prohibited from possessing guns because of a 2015 conviction of aggravated assault with a firearm. One count is based on his having the 9mm pistol, and the second one stems from his possessing Lewis' .40-caliber pistol.
Hutchinson's attorney argued that his client is innocent and was framed. Jurors deliberated almost 3 ½ hours before delivering its guilty verdicts.
Judge R. Christopher Cox III of the 24th Judicial District Court is scheduled to sentence Hutchinson on June 15.
Assistant District Attorneys Laura Schneidau and Brittany Beckner prosecuted the case.
Hoang M. Le convicted of sexual battery of a juvenile
A Jefferson Parish jury on Tuesday night (May 24) convicted Hoang M. Le of sexually molesting a child over an 11-year period.
Le, 32, of Harvey, is guilty as charged of sexual battery of a juvenile under age 13 and sexual battery. Both counts involve the same victim, who was 6 years old when the abuse began in 2009. The abuse continued into 2020, when the victim was 17 and the crimes were reported to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
The jury deliberated three hours before returning its verdict about 8 p.m., Tuesday. Judge Frank Brindisi of the 24th Judicial District Court is scheduled to sentence Le on Tuesday (May 31).
Assistant District Attorneys Gabrielle Hosli and Eric Cusimano prosecuted the case.
Everette Campbell pleads guilty to role in Marrero homicide, gets 35-year sentence
A Jefferson Parish judge on Tuesday (May 24) sentenced Everette Campbell to 35 years in prison for his role in an attempted robbery during which his codefendant shot four people, killing two of them.
Campbell, 26, of Terrytown, pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter and one count of obstruction of justice.
The codefendant, Malik McGinnis, 25, of Avondale, has been convicted of being the gunman who shot and killed the two people and shot and injured two others.
The crime occurred just before 10 p.m., on Sept. 4, 2019, inside a four-bedroom home in the 3000 block of Sorbonne Drive. McGinnis, who had been acquainted with the victims, and Campbell went to the residence planning to steal from a resident who sold marijuana.
However, McGinnis shot and killed Ronald Eddington, 21. McGinnis then shot and killed Eddington's 7-year-old sister. Her 11-year-old sister was shot in her left forearm. And a 19-year-old family friend was shot in his stomach as he wrestled with McGinnis.
During his jury trial, McGinnis was convicted as charged on Feb. 17 of two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and obstruction of justice. He was sentenced to life in prison on March 8.
A jury was selected on Monday to weigh evidence against Campbell. He was prosecuted as a principal to second-degree murder but offered Tuesday to plead guilty to the lesser offense of manslaughter. His attorneys told jurors during opening statements Monday that while Campbell was present in the residence, he did not shoot anyone and was unaware that McGinnis was going to shoot anyone.
Judge Michael Mentz of the 24th Judicial District Court presided over both cases. In accepting the guilty plea, Judge Mentz sentenced Campbell to 35 years in prison for each count of manslaughter and obstruction of justice, with one count of manslaughter to be served without benefit of probation or suspension of sentence. The sentences were run concurrent to each other and with a 6-month jail term for possession of risperidone without a prescription.
On Monday, Campbell also pleaded guilty to cultivation of marijuana and received a 5-year sentence. While investigating the Marrero homicides, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office detectives discovered that Campbell was growing marijuana in his South Forest Lawn Drive apartment.
Assistant District Attorneys Douglas Rushton and Lynn Schiffman prosecuted Campbell and McGinnis.
Tyronne Louis gets 50-year sentence for shooting JPSO deputy during domestic dispute
A Jefferson Parish judge on Thursday (May 12) sentenced Tyronne Louis to 50 years in prison, after the defendant pleaded guilty as charged to the attempted first-degree murder of a police officer.
Louis, 42, of New Orleans, also pleaded guilty as charged to being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, second-degree kidnapping and to misdemeanor charges of aggravated assault and battery of a dating partner.
The charges stem from a domestic dispute on Dec. 9, 2018, at a hotel in the 6400 block of Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie, where Louis slapped and pointed a pistol at a female victim in a room. Shortly after, they left the room and walked through the lobby, where the victim was able to alert a hotel employee and lock herself in a restroom. The employee called 911.
Two Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office deputies responded. As he was being escorted outside the hotel's entrance for questioning, Louis ran. A deputy pursued him. In the parking lot just outside, Louis turned and fired three times at the deputy. Bullets struck the deputy in a shin and elbow.
Louis escaped but was arrested two days later at the bus and train station in New Orleans.
In accepting the plea, Judge Ellen Shirer Kovach of the 24th Judicial District Court sentenced Louis to the maximum sentence for attempted murder. Louis's prior conviction of aggravated battery in 2005 was used as a sentencing enhancement on the attempted murder charge.
Judge Kovach also sentenced Louis to the maximum 20 years for the firearm offense; 40 years for the kidnapping, also the maximum; and six months for each of the two misdemeanors. Judge Kovach ran the sentences concurrently.
Assistant District Attorneys Christina Fisher and Lindsay Truhe prosecuted the case.
Torus 'T-Man' Wallace guilty of Metairie killing over $35 drug debt
A Jefferson Parish jury on Tuesday night (May 10) found Torus "T-Man" Wallace guilty of manslaughter for killing a Metairie man struggling with substance abuse over a $35 drug debt.
Wallace, 24, of Metairie, killed Rene Rachel, 32, as he sat in his vehicle in the 500 block of North Elm Street, waiting for an intermediary to deliver "MOJO," a street name for synthetic marijuana.
Wallace also was convicted as charged of obstruction of justice for removing the .45-caliber pistol he used to kill Rachel from the scene.
Just after 6 p.m., on March 29, 2020, Rachel, who struggled with addiction, traveled from his Metairie home to the neighborhood near Airline Drive and David Drive to purchase narcotics. As he entered the neighborhood, he picked up the intermediary who would acquire the synthetic marijuana for him.
As Rachel waited, Wallace appeared on a bicycle and inquired about drugs and the debt. When Rachel rebuffed him, Wallace brandished the pistol and fired once through the passenger side window. The bullet went through Rachel's right forearm and struck him in the upper chest. He died shortly after in the parking lot of a business at Airline Drive and David Drive.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office received a tip from a source indicating that "T-Man" was the killer. The Sheriff's Office knew T-Man to be Wallace. Wallace was identified as the shooter by an eyewitness.
Jurors also heard testimony showing that four days before the shooting, Rachel went to the same neighborhood to acquire illegal narcotics and encountered Wallace. Wallace threatened to kill Rachel unless he paid the $35 drug debt.
Through his attorneys, Wallace denied shooting Rachel. His attorneys argued there was no credible evidence linking him to the crime.
Wallace was charged with second-degree murder, which carries a punishment of life in prison without parole, probation or suspension of sentence. The jury that was seated on Monday deliberated three hours before returning the lesser offense.
Judge Michael Mentz of the 24th Judicial District Court is scheduled to sentence Wallace on May 26.
Assistant District Attorneys Thomas Sanderson and John Ransone prosecuted the case.
Convicted of fatally beating his girlfriend, Pedro Monterroso sentenced to life in prison
A Jefferson Parish judge on Wednesday (May 4) sentenced Pedro Monterroso to spend the rest of his life in prison for his conviction of beating his girlfriend to death as five of his children lay in a bed just feet away.
Monterroso, 51, received the mandatory sentence for his conviction of the second-degree murder of Heidy Monroy, 24.
During an argument over whether she was romantically involved with another man, Monterroso beat her with a length of rebar in the bathroom of their Durand Street apartment in Metairie on July 13, 2014.
Just outside the bathroom were five of his children, three of whom he fathered with Monroy.
Monterroso fled, leaving the two young sons he fathered with Monroy with their mother's body in the bathtub. Those boys found their mother and alerted a neighbor, who notified the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. Monterroso fled to Texas with the other three children and was arrested the following day.
After denying a defense request for a new trial, 24th Judicial District Judge Donald "Chick" Foret sentenced Monterroso to the mandatory punishment of life in prison without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence.
Assistant District Attorneys Kellie Rish and Zach Popovich prosecuted the case.

To Whom It May Concern | Our first year in operation— Thank you
By Josh Galvin, Pioneer Member, The Brilliant Foundation
Left to Right: Alba Gomez, Dr Renée Ralph, Josh Galvin
As 2021 draws to a close, it gives us an opportunity to reflect on our first year of operation. We set out to bridge an existing gap between academic writing and the world of professionals and individuals with multi-faceted life experiences; I think we've done that.
I was fortunate enough to be invited by Dr Renée and Alrick, our Co-Founders to create and develop the website alongside them. Being 16 years old at the time, I was totally shocked that anyone would put that much trust into me. A year down the track, I will forever be grateful for that opportunity; to be a part of something that has become so Brilliant.
: Note to self, Brilliant is the most Brilliant adjective :
The final push to get our website launched for Jan 8 resulted in an international business call at 11pm on New Year's Eve 2020. Not many 16 year old's can say they've been on an international business call- and you're mad if you've been on one at 11pm on New Year's Eve; unless you are Renée and Alrick (and me I guess), two professionals, passionate about bridging the gap and inspiring others. The initial tribe they established of our Brilliant founding members reflects their values, and impedes a lasting legacy on my cohort of peers.
Website Drafts
We've written, we've read, we've shared, we've contributed; but most importantly, we've connected to bridge the gap. At our last sundowner, Students from Curtin, UWA, WAAPA and Murdoch made connections with industry professionals. I too, during my final year of school, made invaluable industry connections through The Brilliant Foundation. Renee and Alrick had the hope to inspire and guide the youth to make better career choices, through the human life stories on our platform; something which along with the help of the Brilliant founding members, they have achieved.
Left: Dr Renée Ralph with Curtin University Students. Right: Alexander Circosta, Sharing his Inspiring Story. @ November 2021 Sundowner
Through LinkedIn and Instagram, we've been able to grow our following and build our community. You've seen our funky social media designs and our questionable template choices, but you didn't let that cloud the true heart and Brilliance of The Brilliant Foundation. You stuck with us and had faith in the fact that we would establish a brand and a community built upon the same initial idea.
Left to Right: Our First attempt at Instagram, Second Attempt, Our Current Brilliant Template
If you notice, the filament of our lightbulb is a pen nib- that was Elizabeth Richards Brilliant stylistic idea which reflected her vision for The Brilliant Foundation. Everyone in our community has their own way of expressing their ideas and visions for the better of their work and our platform.
Madeleine Antoine for example, using her passion for violin and music to notion the importance of environmental protection; or Don Bosco, creating a company where he gets to work with his two young sons, creating stories and carving a successful life, balancing his love of writing and homelife as a father.
Over the course of the year, we've gained over 700 Brilliant followers on LinkedIn and slowly but surely, we're building a following on Instagram (please follow us there). We've had more than 7000 total article views and our members spend an average of 17 minutes on our site.
The community has obviously seen the good in The Brilliant Foundation. We've forged some brilliant community partnerships- United Nations Association of WA, WA Asian Business Awards 2022, ASEAN Business Alliance- It's absolutely incredible and more than we ever expected to achieve in our first year of operation.
From our first sundowner in Perth where I was the token male, to our most recent, where no one was a token, it's amazing to see what The Brilliant Foundation has become, and the tribe of peers that have joined us along the way.
November 2021 Sundowner
There's been strong opinions, malfunctioning technology, long days, long nights, sweat and tears, we even had a rabbit join the team, but to leave 2021 on such a high, it was all worth it.
Bungee Rabbit
In our giving, we are hoping to further establish our global online community which nurtures self-awareness, leadership, creativity, lifelong learning, kindness and respect. We walk into 2022 with big plans and new goals but with the same passion and drive we had from the beginning- memores acti prudentes futuri.

LUDHIANA INDEX
L U D H I A N A S T O R I E S
SDE booked on graft charge
Ludhiana, June 5
The Punjab Vigilance Bureau has registered a case against Parminder Singh Tiwana, an SDE, and Jaswinder Kaur under Sections 13 (1) (d) and 13 (2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
Parminder Singh Tiwana had allegedly helped Jaswinder Kaur to take possession of Patiala Vakil Khana Chowk Saidan, a government property.
He had allegedly shifted the government property and machinery to some other place so that local commission could state that the government did not have the s possession of the property. Jaswinder Kaur allegedly tried to take possession of the government land. Moreover, both the accused allegedly relieved the watchmen appointed by the government to look after the property. This led the local commission to report that the government did not have possession of the land.
According to a press note issued here today by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau, Patiala Vakil Khana Chowk Saidan, Ludhiana, was the property of PEPSU government. In 1953, the property was given on lease to Babu Ram. But in 1964, the lease deed was quashed by the Punjab Government. On October 14, 1980 the government got the property vacated from Babu Ram. Ever since the possession of the property has been with the Government of Punjab.
But the Punjab Vakf Board claimed the ownership of the property and gave it on lease to Joginder Lal Vangra on March 7, 1992. Joginder Lal filed a writ in the Punjab and Haryana High Court to take possession of the property. But the state government also filed a writ in the High Court, which was admitted on October 4, 2001 and a status quo possession was granted.
Interestingly, the property was allotted to Jaswinder Kaur in 1998 by the Punjab Vakf Board who had sought an ex parte stay, which was later quashed by the district attorney.
The matter is still sub judice. Advocate Jagdeep Singh was appointed as local commissioner in the case who inspected the site on December 4, 2001 and submitted his report on December 5, 2001.
Sitting on a virtual volcano
Kamal Kishore Shankar
About 750 shopkeepers in the Akalgarh market near the Chaura Bazar area, are virtually sitting on a tinder box. If a fire were to break out in this four-storey building in the congested old city area, property worth lakhs of rupees would be reduced to ashes in just a few minutes. Besides this, about 1,500 persons present in the building at any time, including customers, shopkeepers and labourers would also be in grave danger.
In this building, no fire-safety measures have been taken as it was constructed about 18 years before, when installation of fire-safety measures was not mandatory as per the building byelaws. Moreover, neither the trust which is running the market cares to provide fire safety measures nor do the shopkeepers think for the safety of their lives and property.
This shopping complex is full of inflammable material like readymade clothes and plastic articles. There are about 300 readymade clothes shops in the market, which are also overstocked as the shopkeepers are wholesalers also. Shopkeepers, have to put big bundles and boxes in front of their shops, often blocking the common passage, to accomodate the stock.
According to the National Building Code of India (NBCI), commercial buildings, should have fire-fighting devices installed like house reel, wet riser, down corner, yard hydrant, automatic sprinkler system, manually-operated electric fire alarm systems and automatic detection and alarm system. It has been further mentioned in the NBCI that high-rise buildings should have adequate water supply in case of fire and for ensuring proper water supply, underground static water storage tanks and terrace tanks should be constructed with specific water pumping capacity.
But since the NBCI was implemented much later, their directions were not applicable to these old high rise buildings. Moreover, the owners of such buildings, especially in the old city area, do not want to spend any more for safety's sake.
When this correspondent contacted fire officials, they disclosed, "The Fire Act is not implemented in Punjab which is the main reason that we can not take action on our own."
However, fire officials said that they often advise and guide the owners of old high-rise buildings to take necessary fire safety measures. But they could not really do much as far as enforcement is concerned.
However, the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation has powers under Section 273 of the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act 1976 to restrict the use of such buildings. The Commissioner, under Section 273, can also incur expenses on such buildings and the expenditure could be claimed from occupants or owners of such buildings. But till now, no such repair work has been carried out by any of the Commissioners.
While talking to this correspondent, one of the officials of the trust which manages the building, on condition of anonymity, disclosed, "Those who manage this trust, know that there is no rule to penalise them and that is why, they carry on. But now, on the insistence of some shopkeepers, they are planning to do something about it."
The Akalgarh market was constructed to give shelter and employment to the 1984 riot victims. But the work done for a noble cause has become big fire hazard in Chaura Bazar Area.
Congress councillors clamour for civic posts
Kuldip Bhatia
With the election of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee General Secretary, Mr Nahar Singh Gill, as the new City Mayor almost a certainty now, there is a virtual clamour among Congress councillors for other posts in the civic body, including those of Senior Deputy Mayor, Deputy Mayor and membership of Finance and Contracts Committee (F&CC) and other committees of the House on house tax, buildings and roads, and water and sewerage.
Although the local Congress leaders, barring Mr Gurcharan Singh Ghalib, were not expected to have much say in the choice and the party high command would finalise the names, several senior party councillors like Mr Surjit Singh Ahluwalia, Mr Prem Mittal, Mr Balkar Singh Sandhu, who were the front runners in the race for the mayoral post, had not yet given up and were known to be making frantic efforts to strengthen their candidature. One of these three is likely to make it to the office of the Senior Deputy Mayor in case the party leadership ruled in favour of Mr Gill as the next Mayor. Similarly, women councillors, more than ten in number in the Congress camp, were eyeing the post of Deputy Mayor.
Highly placed sources in the party, while talking to Ludhiana Tribune, observed that even though the Congress enjoyed a comfortable majority in the House, with the five legislators, having voting rights, providing further strength in the house, it would be a mistake to take things for granted. The reports to the effect that some Congress councillors might join hands with SAD-BJP combine and other groups like the BSP, Independents and the Ludhiana Development Alliance, headed by former Akali Dal legislator Hira Singh Gabria, to spring a surprise could not be just brushed aside. A group of Congress councillors was reportedly not averse to the idea, albeit with the condition that they were suitably rewarded.
In this context, a statement by the district president Mr Harbans Lal Sethi has assumed significance in which he said the Congress would not be able to get its candidate elected as the new Mayor. Some independent councillors and Mr Gabria have also been carrying on hectic parleys during past couple of days, which were bound to have a direct bearing on the election of City Mayor that was only a couple of days away.
Enquires about the possible date for administration of oath to newly elected councillors and the election of Mayor revealed that the copy of the notification, issued by the government on civic elections, was yet to be received here and the exact date would be finalised only after its receipt, in consultation with the Divisional Commissioner, Patiala Division. However it was learnt that the government might go ahead with election of new Mayors in all the four major towns immediately after the Panchayat Samiti elections were over and the first meeting of the all the four newly elected MCs would, in all probability, be convened sometime during the next week.
MPs briefed on problems
Representatives of Ludhiana industry have sought measures to arrest the decline in the exports. In a memorandum submitted to members of the parliamentary sub-committee on textile industry here yesterday, members of the Federation of Knitwear, Textile and Allied Industries Associations (FEKTAA) said there was stagnation in the exports for quite some time and urgent remedial measures were needed to be taken.
The subcommittee delegation was led by Mr C.P. Radhakrishnan and included Mr Sayed Khan, Mr Girdhari Lal Bhargava and Mr Pushp Jain. They held a meeting with the FEKTAA representatives, who included Mr Vinod Thapar, Mr Rajinder Bhushan Mainia, Mr Prem Sagar Jain, Mr Darshan Dabur, Mr Lalit Jain, Mr Rajat Sood, Mr Surjaj Bhan and others.
According to Mr Thapar, they stressed upon the subcommittee members that Apparel Intergerated Park and critical infrastructure development for knitwear industry of Ludhiana was very essential. The subcommittee members were urged that the project may be taken up on priority. They said the park envisaged overall research and development and setting up of textile university so that trained and skilled people and middle-level managers were easily available to the industry here.
The industrialists also emphasised on rationalisation of the taxation on wool. Mr Thapar pointed out that the total value added tax on wool was about 52 per cent. He said while there was 22 per cent custom duty, there is 16.5 per cent excise duty and 4 per cent sales tax on the wool and woollen products. This the industrialists explained was far above when compared with the international market. They said in China the main competitor of woollen products was an overall tax of 5 per cent, which made Chinese woollen products price wise more competitive than the Indian products.
The subcommittee members assured the industrialists that the issue would be taken up at the highest level and pursued seriously.
Employees decry proposal to wind up PSIEC
Employees of Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation (PSIEC) were up in arms against the proposal of the Disinvestment Commission to wind up the corporation and protest rallies were held at various PSIEC offices situated here and Mandi Gobindgarh.
The rallies were addressed, among others, by Mr Gurdip Singh, chairman, PSIEC Employees Union, Mr Mansa Ram, senior vice-president (HO), Mr Gurmail Singh, senior vice-president (Field), Mr Jatinder Kaushal, press secretary, and Mr Gurbachan Singh, joint secretary. The speakers criticised the recommendations for winding up the PSIEC as it would displace 1,500 employees without no benefit to the government. "The PSIEC is a self-sustained organisation and is earning profit since its inception in 1962. Its financial position is quite satisfactory and it was further managing all its affairs from its own resources."
The union activists observed that at present the PSIEC had assets worth over Rs 100 crore situated all over Punjab, New Delhi and Kolkata. The government ought to strengthen the corporation rather than winding up its activities.

Spurt in cases of death due to poisoning
Shivani Bhakoo
A sharp increase in the number of poisoning cases has been reported in the district during the last year according to data collected from various city hospitals. Most hospital authorities, however, maintain that due to legal implications, a majority of the suicidal attempts are projected as accidental cases by families of the victims. The poisoning is attributed to various factors like consumption of hooch, pesticides or insecticides, snake bites, food poisoning or overdose of drugs.
Seerat Nanda (not her real name), a B.Com III student was recently admitted to the Dayanand Medical College and Hospital as she had consumed some poisonous substance because she had failed in her exams. According to the doctors she was saved and discharged from the hospital the next day because she had not taken a 'strong dose'. "These kind of cases are normal in the hospital. A majority of these people are below the age of 30", said the doctor.
Dr Sandeep Puri, Medical Superintendent, DMCH, said that the hospital emergency received 3 to 4 cases of poisoning every week. These included both accidental intake of poison as well as attempted suicides. He said,"The teenagers, as well as middle-aged people also consume poisonous substances. Both men and women patients are admitted in equal ratio".
Ms Reeta Mahajan (name changed) was admitted to Guru Teg Bahadur Charitable Hospital recently after she consumed Organo Phosphorus. Dr Harkanwal Kaur, the attending doctor, said though she has been saved yet she does not want to live. "If you go to her, she always says that she wants to die. She is in severe depression because of some family problem, but now she is out of danger. We have referred her to the hospital psychiatrist", said Dr Harkanwal.
She added that only 25 to 30 per cent were accidental cases, but a majority of the cases were of attempted suicide.
Dr Wahegurupal Singh, Medical Superintendent, GTB Hospital, while giving details on the issue, said that as per the data collected in the year 2001, 68 such cases were admitted to the hospital out of which four had died. He said that a majority of the cases were suicidal in nature. "They are either young people (up to the age of 30) or housewives. They take such a step in severe depression due to many reasons. Housewives take tablets of Calmpose, Diazepam and Celphos. They even consume phenol tablets or liquid. We try to save them and advise the family members to go in for proper counselling of the victim, once he or she is discharged so that they do not indulge in the act again", said the MS.
Dr Wahegurupal said that during the announcement of results, such cases witness a rise. He maintained that some people even consumed acids to end their life. "They are saved after intensive efforts but then there are many side effects. Their vocal chords are destroyed sometimes. Some of them lose their vision also. The family should try to know the reasons for these suicide attempts", said Dr Wahegurupal.
According to the figures collected from Christian Medical College and Hospital, more than 35 persons died in the hospital in the year 2001 due to poisoning (accidental and suicidal).Two persons died after consuming illicit liquor, whereas the total admissions because of consumption of illicit liquor were 25.More than 200 patients suffered from pesticide poisoning of which 13 patients expired. 30 snake-bite cases were reported last year out of which two had died. Over 225 cases of poisoning due to drugs were reported in the hospital of which 20 such persons could not survive.
Dr Col P.K. Dandona from the Medicine Department of CMCH admitted that there was definitely a spurt in the number of patients registering with poisoning. He said that a majority of the cases were of attempted suicide. "But due to the legal implications and police interference, parents try to prove such cases as accidents. The depressed persons take such a step to end their life (under depression) or to win sympathy of the parents or concerned", said Col. Dandona.
He suggested that these insecticides and pesticides should be kept out of reach of children. These should be used cautiously. He said," Most of the life-threatening drugs like Calmpose, Diazepam are easily available from the chemists."

Support for anganwadi workers
The district unit of the BJP has supported the demands of agitating anganwadi workers and has demanded that the Punjab Police should immediately vacate the premises of the Women and Child Development Department in Simla Puri, which had been forcibly occupied and converted into a police post.
In a statement here yesterday, the district chief of the party, Mr Harbans Lal Sethi, said the first floor of the building was being used by the police as interrogation centre and the third degree methods used against the criminal elements were affecting the innocent minds of the children. He also criticised the district administration for its adamant attitude.
Rather than listening to the agitating women workers and accepting their memorandum, the police was asked to use force against peaceful agitators, which was condemnable.
Mr Sethi urged the district authorities to see reason and withdraw criminal cases registered against the protesters so that the matter was sorted out through negotiations.
The United Council of Trade Unions has also echoed similar sentiments at a meeting held under the presidentship of Mr Darshan Singh of the Government Teachers Union. According to Mr Paramjit Singh, convener of the council, lathi-charge on peaceful agitators was condemned and the administration was asked to accept the demand of the anganwadi workers.
The meeting further warned the authorities that if the demands of agitating workers were not conceded by June 6, the representatives of trade unions would join hands and take a decision to intensify the stir from June 7.
Shopkeeper injured in attack
Mr Deepak Sharma, a shopkeeper running a hardware business in the main market of Basti Jodhewal, was allegedly injured by a group of seven attackers wielding sharp-edged weapons here last evening.
According to the shopkeeper, who has been admitted to the Civil Hospital, three youths started fighting outside his shop in the evening as a result of which some shop goods were damaged. When he protested against their act, two of the fighting parties, namely Happy and his brother, Hardial, went away only to come back with about five of their cronies wielding sharp-edged weapons who allegedly attacked him and also indulged in damaging his shop goods. However, he somehow managed to escape and inform the police. The police has registered a case.

Q: Proper pandas map syntax with multiple values I know I'm almost there, but can't figure out the faster syntax for the equivalent of the below code:
def is_evening(df):
    lst = []
    for i in df.index:
        val = df["localized_time"][i]
        if val != 'NA':
            if val.hour >= 17 and val.hour <= 3:
                lst.append(1)
            else:
                lst.append(0)
        else:
            lst.append(-1)
    df["is_evening"] = lst
    return df

If it was just two values it would be easy, but with the additional conditions and stuff, is there a fast way to do this using pandas map?
What I have so far:
mask = [df["localized_time"] != 'NA']
df["is_evening"] = df["is_evening"] = df["localized_time"][mask].apply(lambda x: 1 if (x.hour >= 17 and x.hour <= 23) else 0)
# Doesn't seem to work

Could anyone help me out? Thank you! :)

A: Yes there definitely is:
def f(x):
    return int(x.hour >= 17 and x.hour <= 3) if x != 'NA' else -1

df["is_evening"] = df["localized_time"].apply(f)

So here f is a function that maps a single localized_time element to an is_evening element. We can also use a lambda expression, but this will be more ugly:
df["is_evening"] = df["localized_time"].\
    apply(lambda x: int(x.hour >= 17 and x.hour <= 3) if x != 'NA' else -1)

If you're an angler who likes the space of a bivvy but wants the mobility of a brolly system then this is the perfect compromise for you. Offering a compact footprint combined with a spacious interior, the Trakker Tempest Air V2 is the perfect hybrid system. It is modelled on Trakker's original Tempest system, which already has a cult following among the serious carp anglers out there. However, the big difference between this Air V2 and the original Tempest is footprint size. The Tempest Air V2 is 265cm wide, 210cm deep, and 130cm high, as opposed to the Tempset bivvy's W270cm x D240cm x H140cm. This incrementally smaller size makes a huge difference to the footprint of the shelter on the bank, allowing you to target the smaller and more compact swims with confidence. In fact, this shelter is perfect for the angler who likes to target fish using the stalking method and it is great for the riving angler. The transport size of this bivvy is 128cm x 22cm and it weighs in at a mere 9kg (including your groundsheet and pegs, the shelter alone weights 6kg). Thuis makes it makes a great compact addition to any angler's arsenal.
Like the original Tempest, the Trakker Tempest Air is manufactured from Aquatexx. This is a specialist material which has been specifically developed with angling in mind and it continues to set the bar for waterproof and breathable bivvy fabrics. This makes this shelter ideal in rainy conditions when want to keep all your gear (and yourself) nice and dry, even if you're not planning on spending the night in the swim. A rain gutter along the front of the shelter stops water from running over the edges of the shelter, potentially dripping down in front of your face, and instead directs the water down the sides of the Tempest Air.
The Tempest Air V2 might have been intended for intended for short stops and quick overnighters but that doesn't mean that is can't be the perfect compact solution for the longer session. Its open front makes it ideal for summer angling, when the light stays with you late into the evening and the heat of the day lasts throughout the darker hours, and it is very popular among anglers who travel overseas to target European venues and want to keep their luggage to a minimum. There is an overwrap available to purchase separately, too, which transforms this shelter into a fully fronted twin skin bivvy. This is ideal for the cooler months, as well as for the angler who likes a little more privacy whilst they sleep. The footprint of this shelter is more than large enough to house a standard bedchair and luggage, or your barrow and chair for a shorter roving session.
One of the biggest benefits of the Trakker Tempest Air V2 is its exceptionally quick septup. Simply slot the ribs into place and open out the outfit. It feats a unique tension opening on the top of the shelter, which not only makes setup speedy but it also maintains the shelter's structural integrity. All that is left to do is to peg the shelter down – either minimally for a short stay or more robustly for a longer session. You can add the three-quarters groundsheet, too, should you want additional protection from the elements. Front quick stick poles provide a rigid opening and further support to the shelter in high winds. The shelter also features two Velcro rod retainer straps, which are ideal for keeping your carp rods safe and secure.
If you're an angler who doesn't like to be encumbered with a bivvy but you want versatility that a brolly system can't offer then this Trakker Tempest Air V2 is the ideal solution for you.
Super light and quick to put up! Loving it!!
Put it up in garden going to use it over exmas break love it.
Unreal how fast this is to put up, it's oozes quality iv always been a brolly angler but fancied a bit more cover and this ticks all the boxes! Anyone looking for a lightweight high quality shelter should deffo give this a look!

HAZWOPER/HAZMAT Medical Exams
HAZWOPER/HAZMAT medical examinations should be developed and used in conjunction with pre-employment screening examinations. Comparison of sequential medical reports with baseline data is essential to determine biologic trends that may mark early signs of adverse health effects, and thereby facilitate appropriate protective measures. The frequency and content of medical examinations will vary, depending on the nature of the work and exposures.
Generally, medical examinations have been recommended at least yearly. More frequent examinations may be necessary, depending on the extent of potential or actual exposure, the type of chemicals involved, the duration of the work assignment, and the individual worker's profile. For example, HAZWOPER workers participating in the cleanup of a PCB-contaminated building were initially examined monthly for serum PCB levels. Review of the data from the first few months revealed no appreciable evidence of PCB exposure. The frequency of PCB testing was then reduced.
Periodic screening exams can include:
• Interval medical history, focusing on changes in health status, illnesses, and possible work-related symptoms. The examining physician should have information about the worker's interval exposure history, including exposure monitoring at the job site, supplemented by worker-reported exposure history and general information on possible exposures at previously worked sites.
• Physical examination.
• Additional medical testing, depending on available exposure information, medical history, and examination results. Testing should be specific for the possible medical effects of the worker's exposure. Multiple testing for a large range of potential exposures is not always useful; it may involve invasive procedures (e.g., tissue biopsy), be expensive, and may produce false-positive results.
- Pulmonary function tests should be administered if the individual uses a respirator, has been or may be exposed to irritating or toxic substances, or if the individual has breathing difficulties, especially when wearing a respirator.
- Audiometric tests. Annual retests are required for personnel subject to high noise exposures (an 8-hour, time-weighted average of 85 dBA2 or more), those required to wear hearing protection, or as otherwise indicated.
- Vision tests. Annual retests are recommended to check for vision degradation.
- Blood and urine tests when indicated.
Provisions for emergency treatment and acute non-emergency treatment should be made at each site. Preplanning is vital. When developing plans, procedures, and equipment lists, the range of actual and potential hazards specific to the site should be considered, including chemical, physical (such as heat and/or cold stress, falls and trips), and biologic hazards (animal bites and plant poisoning as well as hazardous biological wastes). Not only site workers, but also contractors, visitors, and other personnel (particularly firefighters) may require emergency treatment. Emergency medical treatment should be integrated with the overall site emergency response program.
The following are recommended guidelines for establishing an emergency treatment program.
• Train a team of site personnel in emergency first aid. This should include a Red Cross or equivalent certified course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and first-aid training that emphasizes treatment for explosion and burn injuries, heat stress, and acute chemical toxicity. In addition, this team should include an emergency medical technician (EMT) if possible.
• Train personnel in emergency decontamination procedures in coordination with the Emergency Response Plan.
• Pre-designate roles and responsibilities to be assumed by personnel in an emergency.
• Establish an emergency/first-aid station on site, capable of providing (1) stabilization for patients requiring offsite treatment, and (2) general first aid (e.g., minor cuts, sprains, abrasions). - Locate the station in the clean area adjacent to the decontamination area to facilitate emergency decontamination. - Provide a standard first-aid kit or equivalent supplies, plus additional items such as emergency/deluge showers, stretchers, portable water, ice, emergency eyewash, decontamination solutions, and fire-extinguishing blankets. - Restock supplies and equipment immediately after each use and check them regularly.


Hello. I have some questions about what is in character generation.
What are the racial stat boosts that different races receive? They are either missing or not clarified in character generation.
Beorning- 1 RPP - Am I to take it these receive no stat bonuses at all?
Rohirrim and Wargs - No description provided for them at all. What do these get and how much do they cost?
Dorwinion - 2 RPP - But no bonuses listed for these at all either.
Gondorian - 3 RPP - Again, no bonuses listed at all. And why does the description seem to imply that you can only be from Dol-Amroth or Pelargir (which is misspelled, btw)? Gondor is a big place.
Dwarf - 3 RPP - Description says a bonus to con and dex, but then at the bottom it says "Attribute Modifiers: +Str +Con -Dex -Wil". Which one of these is it?
The human races do not have any racial stat boosts.
The goal we have is having documentation for the places that people come from. To ensure that Guides and staff have a basis for approving or declining applications and for players to have a common basis for what they know about our IC/IG world. As not every player is equally knowledgeable about Middle Earth as a whole. We try to flesh things out for people about the culture of where people come from to allow them to create a PC who feels truly part of the world.
It is at times awkward and confusing for other players IC and OOC when different people have backgrounds coming from the same place and yet have vastly different ideas they present about what the place is like. We seek to prevent that by providing fleshed out documentation.
Part of it also is we have limited to access to a great deal of the previous documentation about Gondor (more specifically Pel-Anorien and Minas Tirith) and are looking to step aside from that as we look to creating our new world. We have different ideas about Gondor than previous staff teams, and I personally feel it is easiest to see those new ideas come to light if they aren't competing so directly with players previous ideas or experiences with Gondor as a concept.
We are looking to explore different parts of Middle Earth we are adding documentation and roles from more areas over time.

Mexican Standoff on September 15th: The Canelo-Chavez Jr. war on three fronts
September 12, 2012 by Paul Magno Leave a Comment
The Mexican Standoff, made famous by Quentin Tarantino in the movie, Reservoir Dogs, is used to describe a situation where three or more parties engage in a face to face showdown in which no one can emerge as a clear winner and mutually assured destruction is the most likely outcome.
What an appropriate term to describe the mess of politics and egos set to hit the Vegas Strip on September 15th.
On that evening, at the Thomas & Mack Center, Top Rank Promotions, in association with HBO Pay Per View, will broadcast a card headlined by the long-awaited WBC world middleweight title bout between defending titlist, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Sergio Martinez. Meanwhile, within walking distance, at the MGM Grand, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez defends his WBC junior middleweight title against Josesito Lopez in the main event of a Golden Boy promoted quadruple-header on Showtime Championship Boxing.
Two big cards, seeking the same Mexican and Mexican-American demo group, in the same city, at the same time. There very well could be a memorable night of boxing in store for fight fans, but not everybody who wants to see both cards live will be able to do so. In an era where exposure is increasingly important to the overall health of boxing, a niche sport aimed at a niche market is being split in two. Shared headlines, divided viewership, diminished impact. Both cards are deserving of their own spotlight, but neither will truly be allowed to shine.
Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole is reporting that Chavez-Martinez is a sell-out and that Alvarez-Lopez is well on its way to becoming one as well. Still, the head to head competition is troubling to those who would like to draw in the casual fan and pique the interest of new observers.
For those looking to blame someone for this unnecessary conflict, fingers could easily be pointed at Golden Boy.
The promotional outfit, headed by Richard Schaefer and Oscar de la Hoya, took a calculated risk by applying for a permit on Mexican Independence Day, September 15th, in Las Vegas. Top Rank had already booked that date with the intention of scheduling the Chavez Jr-Martinez bout. But Golden Boy, sharing the feelings of many knowledgeable boxing people, assumed that Top Rank founder and CEO, Bob Arum, would never go ahead with a Chavez Jr.-Martinez bout.
But as time passed and Chavez-Martinez held together, Golden Boy found itself in a tough spot. This was originally supposed to have been Alvarez's coming out party– a pay-per-view headlining debut against the best opponent of his career. First, Paul Williams was chosen, but fell out after the tragic motorcycle accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. James Kirkland was pegged to fill in for Williams, but ultimately walked over money issues. Then, Victor Ortiz was chosen as the third replacement, but that too fell apart when Josesito Lopez busted Ortiz's jaw and came away with the win in an Upset of the Year candidate in June. Finally, after some looking around, Lopez was picked to fill in for the fighter he bashed. It was an unpopular decision in most circles, mostly because the Riverside, California native has been a career-long junior welterweight. The selection of Josesito Lopez also signaled the end of any pay-per-view talk. The card, stacked with three quality undercard bouts, would be aired on Showtime and offer a premium cable alternative to the pay boxing taking place about two miles away.
The head to head September 15th showdown also represents a legitimate counter-punch from Showtime to the long dominant HBO, which is looking to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. as one of their PPV back-ups in a world without Mayweather and Pacquiao.
Under former Showtime head, Ken Hershman, HBO is looking to reaffirm its position as industry leader as well as beef up the product, overall, after a poor run from former HBO Sports President, Ross Greenburg. However, new Showtime Sports executive vice president and general manager, Stephen Espinoza, looks to be an aggressive competitor. Whereas Showtime, in the past, seemed to accept its spot as #2, and program its boxing schedule accordingly, Espinoza has shown signs of actually going after the jugular. Bolstered by his longtime relationship with Golden Boy as their lead attorney, Espinoza walked into his new job with one of the sport's deepest rosters pretty much at his disposal. The unprecedented move of counter-programming a major HBO pay-per-view is tantamount to a declaration of war.
And, while the corporate types jockey for position, the biggest face to face rivalry may be between the two 20-something Mexican stars, themselves.
Mexico is divided in their support of the two pretenders to the Gran Campeon Mexicano throne. Saul Alvarez, seen as a quiet and humble "good" kid, is king in the heartland of Mexico while Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., always a draw because of his last name, is gaining popularity in the North of the country and in the larger cities.
When either fights, though, Mexico watches. Not in HBO or Showtime numbers, but in near-Super Bowl numbers, sometimes with nearly a third of all Mexican television viewers tuning in. Boxing is a big deal in Mexico and the designation of top dog status in the Aztec Nation is something both Alvarez and Chavez (and their respective management teams) desperately want.
The head to head programming on Mexico's Independence Day has been widely panned in the Mexican media as something that will actually bring less viewers than normal to both fighters. In a nation where very few people have DVR technology, fans will be forced to choose between Televisa's Canelo-Lopez card or TV Azteca's Chavez Jr.-Martinez show. It'll be the first head to head competition between the two, a test of both fighters' star power, but one which could divide the viewing public and bring in lower numbers for both stars than would normally be the case.
In the United States, where fewer and fewer people watch actual live TV, most who want to see both cards will do so., either through a DVR set-up or on the internet. There's little apparent impact of this boxing counter-programming, but is this the best move to make for attracting new fans to the sport?
In the short term, the Top Rank-Golden Boy Vegas showdown on September 15th might actually be a good thing. Hotels will fill up, Fans will pack themselves into both arenas, and even TV numbers should be respectable, despite the head to head competition. But one still can't help feeling that, in an age where boxing is looking to expose their product to as many people as possible, two legitimately good cards deserve their own spotlights and the promotional firms, which hold all of the pieces in today's boxing puzzle, should be less focused on running each other out of business and more aggressive about promoting the overall health of the sport.

Being Gale Van Hoy; Magno's Monday Rant
Good Riddance Dan Rafael


Some of us knew from a very early age what we wanted to be. We all have friends who grew up wanting to be nurses and do precisely that today. Others wanted to be firemen or meteorologists or a bevy of careers in between and maybe some of them followed those dreams through and maybe some didn't. Either way, it's difficult not to second-guess whether or not we have truly found our purpose or passion in life. After all, with so much social media content thrown our way depicting a perfect life, a perfect family and a perfect job, it's easy to analyze if we've met our potential or are still living beneath it.
Whether finding our life's calling is an unobtainable pursuit that none of us will ever live up to is up for debate. Still, if you often find yourself wondering whether or not what you're currently doing is aligned with where you should be, read on. Today, we're discussing six ways you can be sure you're not living your passion. Do you find yourself nodding in agreement? If so, it may be time to reevaluate the decisions you're making and consider how to correct your path moving forward.
1. Work feels like a chore.
Yes, even once you find your passion, you will be required to work. It's not as if you can discover your true talents and skill sets and suddenly check out for the next few decades. Say, for instance, you discover that your purpose and passion is caring for children. You could figure out that's what you're meant to do and never take it a step beyond that, but to do so would be to perform a grave disservice to everyone young person you could have helped.
You'll still be required to put in long hours, work hard at your craft and dedicate yourself to learning as much as possible. The difference? You won't feel as if you "have" to do it. Rather, you'll be enthusiastic about the process and eager to begin the pursuit. Work will still be there, yes, but it won't feel like a mandatory chore. You'll go from feeling as though you're pushing paper just to make someone else money to having a deep sense of fulfillment and pride about your work that cannot be erased by a bad day, rude customer or spat with your co-worker.
2. You can't connect your life's dots.
Do you know someone who is living his or her passion? It's likely that if you asked him or her the steps taken to get to that point, the answer will be something along the lines of, "Looking back, everything I've done has led me to this point." Hindsight is indeed 20/20 and once we're on the other side of finding our purpose, we can more clearly see how every decision we made, every step we took or didn't take and every person we met along the way contributed to where we are now.
If you're looking around at your environment and wondering "How in the world did I get here?" (and not in a good way) or whispering to yourself "This isn't where I'm meant to be," then it might be time to reevaluate if your current situation lines up with your long-term life goals.
3. You feel like you're playing a part.
When you discover your life's purpose, you will sink deeply into it and it will become a sort of second skin. You'll feel as though you were never meant to do anything else and it's the most natural thing in the world for you to take on. Conversely, one way to realize you haven't gotten there yet is to consider whether or not you feel like an actor on a stage most of the time.
Do you show up for work wearing a suit and tie, uncomfortable with yourself all eight hours of the day and constantly wishing you were outside, exploring nature? Do you attend the meetings, answer the phones and send the emails not with enthusiasm and vigor but rather with a drone sense of duty and responsibility? If so, you're not in your most natural state. You're forcing it and faking it and that's an illusion you can only keep up for so long until something (or someone) breaks.
Anyone who has had her identity stolen knows that the process of repairing all that was broken and putting everything back together in the aftermath can be long and laborious. Pretending to be someone else isn't just a shallow and meaningless way of life, but it can actually be a harmful and detrimental one as well. If you're living under a false pretense, it's time to give it up. You may be surprised at how freeing it feels to claim yourself just as you are.
4. You're living for yourself.
While it is possible that your life's purpose is designed to make only you happy, it isn't likely. Rather, once you discover what you're meant to do, you can't help but bring everyone up along with you. Often, our truest passions and purposes center on at least some aspect of altruism. Even if you don't find your calling in public service work, such as nursing or law enforcement, you can still use that inner fulfillment you feel to share positivity and encouragement with those around you.
As you live your purpose, others can't help but take notice. Have you ever watched someone and thought to yourself "He is doing exactly what he's meant to be doing?" It's inspiring, uplifting and endlessly motivating. If you're living just for yourself, your sphere of impact is considerably small. Think of how much wider it would be if others could watch your personal metamorphosis unfold.
5. You still need constant reassurance.
All of us enjoy a little positive reinforcement every now and then. Yet, if you constantly seek the approval of others, especially when it comes to your line of work, then you might not have found your purpose yet. Once you do, you will no longer require feedback from your superiors, a pat on the back or public recognition to feel accomplished and successful.
Instead, you will feel an inner sense of accomplishment that stems not from external rewards or motivators but from the knowledge that you're using your innate gifts to the best of your ability. As your confidence builds, you're more willing to take risks and explore new opportunities as they come your way. The fear is diminished and all that's left is unbridled possibility.
6. Stress is a constant friend.
This is not to say that once you find your calling, you will magically live a stress-free existence. On the contrary, you'll still have many days where it feels like there just isn't enough time in the day to get everything done. You'll still have burdens to bear, setbacks to weather and obstacles to overcome. The only difference? You'll be able to breathe contently through it all.
When we're spinning our wheels and living an inauthentic life, even the smallest molehill is a mountain. We're so weighed down by what we haven't done that we can't realize the magnitude of the great things we have already accomplished. Life is a series of caffeine-fueled anxieties and getting ahead seems like a pipe dream. Meanwhile, someone living their purpose isn't immune to these exact same stressors. She is just more clearly focused on the end goal in sight, unwilling to let tiny challenges derail her from pressing on toward the goal.
We live in a world where it's so easy to lose yourself, even unintentionally. This is especially true when you consider how the media portrays perfection. What if your ideal life isn't as glamorous as a celebrity's or as put-together as an influencer's? Does that make it less than, or not as important? Absolutely not.
Ultimately, finding your life's purpose starts with one step. We must make the decision to ditch the masks and embrace our truest selves. Only in doing so can we discover who we really are, what we're really great at, and how we can use that knowledge to change the world.

Objective: To characterize clinical inertia in the treatment of diabetes using a large, geographically diverse clinical database.
Study Design: A retrospective descriptive analysis was conducted in a clinical database containing 22 million patient records across 22 health care organizations (HCOs).
Population Studied: A total of 281,000 patients aged 18-75 were included during the 5.5-year study period (1/2012-6/2017). Patients had an outpatient visit in the last 12 months of the study period, an HbA1c in the last 24-30 months (index A1c), and a diagnosis of type 2 DM on a claim or EHR problem list at least 6 months prior to index A1c. A subset of 47,693 patients with an index A1c ≥8 and a prior A1c ≥8 or lack thereof, was observed for four 6-month follow-up periods for actions including a new class of diabetes medication prescribed or an A1c <8. The absence of observable action following index A1c suggests potential "clinical inertia."
Principal Findings: Six months following an index A1c≥8, 55% of patients received no observable clinical action ranging from 45-65% across HCOs and 18-96% across individual providers. A new diabetes prescription was observed in 35% of patients (7.5% moved into glycemic control, A1c<8) and 10% moved into glycemic control without a new prescription. Patient characteristics associated with increased clinical inertia, i.e., no observable action, during the 6002D and 24-month follow-up periods included black race, low-income insurance, normal body mass index, and being on bolus insulin (all P<.01). Within 24 months, clinical inertia was reduced to 19%, ranging from 13-28% across HCOs.
Conclusions: Lack of clinical action in the 6 months following an A1c ≥8 suggests clinical inertia vs. ADA guidelines. Greater rates in low-income insurance and race/ethnic minority adults suggests potential populations to target to ensure adequate treatment for diabetes. The decline in clinical inertia within 24 months suggests either actions not seen in the data, or later interventions that were ultimately effective.

The University was established in 1962 by the Government of the then Northern Region of Nigeria to impart knowledge and learning to men and women of all races without distinction on the grounds of race, religious or political beliefs. The founding fathers expected the University to aspire to the highest international ideals of scholarship and to provide learning of a standard required and expected of a university of the highest standing while reflecting the needs, the traditions, and the social and intellectual heritage of the society in which it is located. The University was taken over by the Federal Government of Nigeria in 1975 and has since then assumed a national mandate although its ties with the 19 states created out of the former Northern Region remain very strong.
In the over forty years of its existence, the ABU has grown to become the largest, and the most influential and diverse university in Nigeria. Consisting of eighty-two (82) Academic Departments, twelve (12) Faculties, and twelve (12) Research Institutes and Specialized Centres, the University offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in such diverse fields as Agriculture, Public and Business Administration, Engineering, Environmental Design, Education, Biological and Physical Sciences, Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, the Humanities, Law and Social Sciences. The university has two campuses located on 7,000 hectares of land.
Student enrolment currently stands at 35,000 with 20% at the postgraduate level. Staff strength stands at 1, 400 academic staff, 1, 985 non-academic senior staff and 4,143 junior staff. A common feature of both the staff and student population is the wide variety of social, cultural, religious and economic backgrounds that they represent. One unique feature of the University, as opposed to any other Institution of its type in Nigeria, is that it has both staff and students from all parts of the country and from neighbouring countries. This mix has created an open society in which people from all backgrounds are able to live. This has been one of the major strengths of the University. At a time when Nigeria and indeed the world is faced with divisions and tensions, the experience of open, multi-religious, multi-faith and multi-cultural dialogue and cohabitation which ABU possesses, is one which the University is anxious to retain and build upon.
The University's mission, as contained in its Strategic Plan, is "to advance the frontiers of learning and break new grounds, through teaching, research and dissemination of knowledge of the highest quality; to establish and foster national and international integration through the development and the promotion of African traditions and cultures; to serve as a model and conscience of the society; to produce high-level human power and enhance capacity-building through training and retraining, in order to meet the needs and challenges of the 21st century".
