Yale Students Campaign for All That Jazz (via NY Times)
"Michael Hoot and his compatriots value their hard-won seats in the Yale Jazz Ensemble, a Yale University-sponsored big band. So it did not sit well when Thomas C. Duffy, who as university director of bands had led the ensemble for 34 years, suspended its operations for the coming year — and possibly beyond — citing a loss of rehearsal space and a lack of qualified brass players.
"The students I know who played in the band and are involved in jazz were really let down by that," said Mr. Hoot, a saxophonist. But Mr. Hoot, who will be a junior this year, is not taking the situation lying down. He and his fellow band members hope to reconstitute the ensemble as a student-led activity, just one example of what they, along with sympathetic faculty members, are doing to promote jazz on the New Haven campus.
"Yale can do a better job of jazz studies," said Brian Kane, an associate professor in the music department and an adviser to the student activists."

In another week or so, he'd be able to get back to his own place, back to seclusion, where the loudest noise at night was a flip between a screech owl and a log crackling on the fire. Just the way he liked it. The majority of the human species was nothing but an annoying intrusion on his state of mind and, other than the times when he had to interact with them, he preferred to be alone. Of course, family didn't fit into that category, just everyone else. His mother said he was afraid to open up after what happened three years ago. She was wrong; he didn't care about Patrice anymore, didn't even think about her, not since the day the sheriff delivered the divorce papers. Nate heard she was remarried to some bank president in Palm Springs, drove a Lexus now. Probably silver; she'd always had a fondness for silver.
The doorbell rang again, twice, rapid staccato. "Hold on, hold on." Damn intrusive busybodies. He reached the front door, preparing the same speech he told all the well-wishers. She's fine… needs her rest… she'll be in touch when she's up to it. She'd be furious if she had an inkling that he was blowing off people like Father Reisanski and Judge Tommichelli, but hell, did she have to be best friends with half the town?
That brought him around fast. "Who are you?" Stupid question, but damn if he'd let on he knew who she was.
She hesitated, a split-second extra air exchange. "Christine Blacksworth. I'm… are you Nate Desantro?" He said nothing. Let her squirm.
"May I come in?" She tried to look around him, into the house, into their lives.

Sylvia Earle Makes An in-Depth Case for Women's Equality
By Nancy Faber
'You leave fear on the surface,' says Dr. Earle
I find the lure of the unknown irresistible," says the indomitable and unsinkable marine botanist Sylvia Earle. At 45, Earle has logged nearly 5,000 hours underwater—including 14 days at one stretch. She has swum with humpback whales. She has explored undersea kelp forests off California. And on Sept. 19, 1979, off Oahu, Hawaii, she descended 1,250 feet under the Pacific, deeper than anyone, man or woman, has ever gone without a tether to the surface.
Wearing a special deep-sea suit to protect her from pressure 35 times greater than that at sea level, the 5'3″, 115-pound Earle was lowered to the bottom strapped to the front of a research submarine. She then walked alone for two and a half hours. "There I was, a little human being walking on the ocean floor," she recalls. "I felt like I was an astronaut landing on the moon."
That dive led to another challenge, fearsome in its own way: facing up to the brave but peculiar denizens of the New York-based, 75-year-old Explorers Club. After a 753-618 vote this April to break the club's traditional males-only policy, she and astronaut Kathryn Sullivan became the first women to have membership applications accepted (they're still pending). Sylvia was also one of 10 recipients of the new Lowell Thomas Award (the only woman so honored), joining Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov and Thomas himself. "Nice comrades," says Earle. She had once scoffed at gender differences among divers, pointing out that "the only thing men can do down there that women can't is grow beards." But she was gentle to the Explorers. "I've always said," she explained, "underwater or on top, men and women are compatible."
Now curator of phycology (study of algae) at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, Earle is better known for her on-camera role in Gentle Giants of the Pacific, a TV documentary on whales, and for her National Geographic articles. Among myriad other ventures in marine conservation, Earle co-founded the nonprofit Ocean Trust Foundation in 1978. She is deeply concerned about ocean pollution and exploitation of underwater resources. Yet she recently okayed a Getty TV commercial that cited her record dive as an example of how "America gains most when individuals have great freedom to pursue personal goals without undue government interference." She says, "What is needed more than law is the development of an ethic. I see nothing wrong with the ad." She donated her honorarium from the campaign to a variety of conservation organizations, including the Ocean Trust Fund.
She also defends her visibility, remarkably high for a scientist. "When I write a scientific treatise, I might reach 100 people," she says. "When the National Geographic covers a project, it communicates about plants and fish and underwater technology to more than 10 million people. And we've shown Gentle Giants to more than 200 million."
Twice divorced (from marine zoologist John Taylor and ichthyologist Giles Mead), Earle has three children, whose ages range from 12 to 20. (Earle says daughter Gale, 12, "claims she loves the water because I was still diving while eight months pregnant.")
Sylvia's now collaborating both romantically and professionally with British engineer Graham Hawkes, 33. He designed the undersea vessel, Wasp, that served as backup for Earle on her deepest foray. His latest submersible, called Deep Hawk—to be tested near the Galápagos Islands late next year—is a clear acrylic sphere fitted with tiny wings to guide its movements. Unlike the suit Earle wore in 1979, which can't go deeper than 2,000 feet and has awkward pincerlike hands, Hawk is a prototype for more advanced diving craft. It can dive to 5,000 feet and is equipped with external manipulators so precise, Earle boasts, "I could write my name with them."
When Earle first prodded him to design such a vessel, Hawkes recalls, "I kept giving sound reasons why she couldn't go to the bottom of the sea—pressure, cold, dark, power problems. Then I realized she wasn't listening to my logical arguments. She was like a stubborn child saying, 'I want to.' I thought she was lovely but single-minded."
Earle spent most of her adolescence in the water, after her engineer father moved his family from a small farm in Gibbstown, N.J. to Dunedin, Fla., on the Gulf of Mexico. She first donned scuba gear in college, graduating in 1955 from Florida State with a major in botany and many zoology courses. The following year, Earle received an M.A. in marine biology from Duke, which 10 years later granted her a doctorate. "I decided to concentrate on botany because I didn't have to kill as many things," she says. "Zoologists spend a lot of time looking at cadavers."
Since her first big trip—a National Science Foundation expedition to the Indian Ocean in 1964—Earle has hardly had a chance to towel off at home in Oakland, Calif. Her projects included the 1970 experiment led by the Interior Department, Tektite II, in which she joined three other women living underwater off the Virgin Islands for 14 days. And she examined underwater plant life growing in Japanese hulks off the Truk Islands in 1975.
The fact that she can't remember any life-threatening incidents hasn't made her overconfident. "I get apprehensive all the time; there's a fear of the unknown whether it's a person, policy or fish," she says. "But you have to leave fear on the surface. When I dive, the main thing is, I'm there, it's beautiful and let's see what I can do."

Mint green nails scream Spring to me. Today was a real minty day for me. I did mint eye makeup, mint green earrings, a mint green t-shirt and then these nails. It was a bit of a mint overkill, but I don't care. When I love something, I rock it without a care in the world.
As soon as a new season comes along, I do a bit of a makeover to all things makeup, nails and closet pieces. I go from burgandy and navy to sky blue and chartreuse in a minute. That's why my trip to Target was the perfect opportunity to scan the beauty shelves for those much needed pastels and bright neons.
Maybelline brought out nail polishes for the first time last year if I'm not mistaken, but they weren't of much interest to me then for some reason. Immediately upon seeing this gorgeous green, I was sucked right in. Now that I've found the formulation and brush to be to my preference, I am going to be all over these. I want one in every Spring color! Plus how can you say no to those tiny little bottles. If I need to pick something I hate about nail polishes it'd be having them sit in my collection unfinished only to get goopy and go bad without ever finishing them. This will be used up within 25 uses for sure and that is just what my hope was.
Lets talk about the actual polish for a moment. It goes on quite matte and splotchy with the first coat which had me concerned for a second. With a second coat it transforms to this amazing glossy and opaque finish though vanishing all concern. I've been wearing it for less then 24 hours but was anxious to share so I cannot say much for the wear. I will have to come back and update you on that in the future. This may be a strange statement to make, but aside from that amazing color the thing I love best is the perfect brush. It is shaped in a thin tapered manner which means laying down color is easy peasy. Anyone can get a perfect manicure using it, even me. And I have two left hands, as you may already know. Kidding!
Another item I came across while perusing Targets beauty section were these nail decals. They come in a kit with a pick up tool and two other vials of different colored studs. I had never seen anything like that and it seemed fairly user friendly. So into my cart it went. I have since had a lot of fun playing with them as they are an easy way to dress up any simple manicure! I used clear polish as an adhesive, and pressed one gold- bronze decal onto every nail except one which I lined with the pieces from the top of the nail to my cuticle. I love how it turned out!!
What do you think of this manicure and what have you added to your beauty stash in honor of Spring? Leave me a comment below letting me know, I would absolutely love to hear from you!!


Yet this is various than in fact shopping. (Try not to love a place that you visit during this phase!) You really must have your personal real estate representative on your side for the offer and also settlement stage of purchasing a home. It usually. does not cost you anything-- by tradition, the vendor pays the payment-- and it's far much better to have your very own representative than to ask the agent offering the home to represent you together with the vendors. Such "dual company" relationships often bring about conflicts of interest. For example, the agent may feel duty-bound to clue the vendors right into that you're actually happy to go higher on price.

You need to be familiar with this step in the home loan refinancing process, due to the fact that you've been with it prior to (on the acquisition side). So there's not much to describe right here. The lending institution will probably have you fill in the conventional application, which is the Uniform Residential Loan Application. You can see instances of this paper online. Just do a Google search for "Fannie Mae form 1003" or "Freddie Mac form 65."
Homebuyers, for instance, forget some houses simply because of unflattering furnishings positioning, old hardware on cooking area closets, or the unpleasant look of dingy walls. With a little creativity as well as work, a purchaser could make your house into an attractive location to live.
Tell the supplier what does it cost? you like the residential property as well as allow him recognize that you value just what he has actually done to it (even if you don't) - a little charm could go a long method. Also if whatever requires job, clarify that you actually like its facet or the trees in the yard yet, however, you will certainly need to place in a deal that mirrors the expenses of refurbishment.
The Mortgage Processing Centre Once the application has actually been submitted, the handling of the home loan begins. Your disclosure copies are signed, and the processor orders merged Credit scores Report( s), the Assessment and Title Report. The information on the application, such as financial institution deposits and settlement histories are then verified. Any type of credit score negative products, such as late payments, collections and/or judgments require a written explanation. The cpu checks out the Appraisal and also Title Record looking for residential property concerns that might call for more investigation. The entire home loan package is then created for entry.

Hospital discharge diagnostic and procedure codes for upper gastro-intestinal cancer: how accurate are they?
Population-level health administrative datasets such as hospital discharge data are used increasingly to evaluate health services and outcomes of care. However information about the accuracy of Australian discharge data in identifying cancer, associated procedures and comorbidity is limited. The Admitted Patients Data Collection (APDC) is a census of inpatient hospital discharges in the state of New South Wales (NSW). Our aim was to assess the accuracy of the APDC in identifying upper gastro-intestinal (upper GI) cancer cases, procedures for associated curative resection and comorbidities at the time of admission compared to data abstracted from medical records (the 'gold standard').
We reviewed the medical records of 240 patients with an incident upper GI cancer diagnosis derived from a clinical database in one NSW area health service from July 2006 to June 2007. Extracted case record data was matched to APDC discharge data to determine sensitivity, positive predictive value (PPV) and agreement between the two data sources (κ-coefficient).
The accuracy of the APDC diagnostic codes in identifying site-specific incident cancer ranged from 80-95% sensitivity. This was comparable to the accuracy of APDC procedure codes in identifying curative resection for upper GI cancer. PPV ranged from 42-80% for cancer diagnosis and 56-93% for curative surgery. Agreement between the data sources was >0.72 for most cancer diagnoses and curative resections. However, APDC discharge data was less accurate in reporting common comorbidities - for each condition, sensitivity ranged from 9-70%, whilst agreement ranged from κ = 0.64 for diabetes down to κ < 0.01 for gastro-oesophageal reflux disorder.
Identifying incident cases of upper GI cancer and curative resection from hospital administrative data is satisfactory but under-ascertained. Linkage of multiple population-health datasets is advisable to maximise case ascertainment and minimise false-positives. Consideration must be given when utilising hospital discharge data alone for generating comorbidity indices, as disease burden at the time of admission is under-reported.
The assessment of health services utilisation and associated patient outcomes are fundamental to improving health care performance. However, traditional investigation methods such as clinical cohort investigations are resource-intensive and costly. Increasingly, population-level health administrative data, such as hospital discharge and registry data, used alone or linked with other datasets, are being used as a cost-effective and resource-efficient alternative to investigate population treatment patterns, health service utilisation and outcomes of care [1, 2] across a range of conditions [1, 3–9].
Analyses using health administrative data is generally based on the assumption that the data sets have high levels of accuracy in identifying medical conditions and associated treatments and services. In particular there is widespread use of hospital discharge data in this context, yet there are relatively few published studies reporting the accuracy of hospital discharge diagnostic and procedure codes. Some of the well documented limitations are missing data, abstraction errors and misclassification errors . Therefore investigations using these data requires high level expertise from the perspective of the analysts and in the interpretation of findings [11, 12].
In Australia, there have been series of validation studies investigating the accuracy of hospital discharge data in identifying obstetric conditions and outcomes [13–16] but there are fewer studies examining the accuracy of cancer related diagnoses [17–19] and treatment in discharge data [7, 20]. Clearly the identification of accurate population level cancer-related measures from hospital discharge data is essential to improved understanding of treatment processes and outcomes of care. This is particularly important in circumstances where discharge data is used as the only information source and not linked to other population datasets such as cancer notifications.
Upper gastro-intestinal (upper GI) cancers account for 7% of all incident cancers and 15% of all cancer deaths in Australia . Surgical resection for curable upper GI cancers is the standard treatment, with or without adjuvant chemotherapy. We previously reported on patient outcomes following curable surgical resection for oesophageal cancer in New South Wales (NSW), the largest jurisdiction in Australia, using linked administrative health data . We expand on this work by examining the accuracy of hospital administrative discharge diagnostic codes in identifying site-specific upper GI cancer cases and procedure codes for those undergoing curative resection for site-specific cancer. We also examine the accuracy of specific comorbidities as recorded in hospital discharge data compared with those listed in patient medical records.
Australia has a publicly-funded universal health care system. All Australian citizens and permanent residents are entitled to subsidised treatment from medical practitioners and fully subsidised (free) treatment in public hospitals . NSW is the largest jurisdiction in Australia, and until 2011 comprised eight area health services.
Our study population was potential patients with data indicative of a primary incident upper GI cancer (International Classification of Diseases v10 [ICD-10] codes C15, C16, C22 and C25) in the period July 2006 to June 2007 in an area health service (AHS) clinical database. Cases were confirmed using data extracted from their medical records.
The South Eastern Sydney Illawarra Area Health Service commenced capture of the diagnostic and treatment details of all patients diagnosed with cancer after 1st January 2006 or receiving part or all of their treatment within a health service facility. However, the AHS clinical database does not distinguish between primary and secondary cancer diagnoses. Nevertheless, this was the most systematic and cost-effective approach available to us for identifying potential upper GI incident cancer cases from which data could be extracted from patient medical records. Data extracted from the medical records of confirmed cases was considered to be 'the gold standard'.
The Admitted Patient Data Collection (APDC) is a census of all inpatient separations (discharges) from all public, private and repatriation hospitals, private day procedures centres and public nursing homes in NSW. Hospital medical coders abstract data from patient medical records following discharge and submit details to the NSW Health Information Exchange for every episode of care. A separate record is processed for each period of inpatient care, irrespective of the time interval between the date of separation and subsequent readmission.
The data linkage process is shown in Figure 1. The AHS data manager extracted the relevant potential cases with patient identifiers (eg: name, medical record number, date-of-birth) and forwarded the extract to the Centre for Health Record Linkage (CHeReL). The CHeReL matched AHS cases to APDC records using probabilistic linkage and best privacy preserving protocols . Each case and APDC record was assigned a unique identifier (or Project Person Number: PPN) so as to match individuals across the two data sets. The research team received two individual data files: patients with a diagnosis or treatment of upper GI cancer within an AHS facility as recorded in the APDC with PPNs but not patient identifiers were forwarded to the team analyst; and the AHS cases with PPNs and identifying information was sent to the data abstractor who used the information to identify medical records for review. Data were extracted from hospital records and sent to the research team analyst with PPNs and no other personal identifying data information. Using the PPN, the analyst merged the abstracted hospital record data with the APDC.
A data extraction form was developed and pilot tested by the research team in consultation with a medical registrar and gastroenterologist. The final version of the abstraction tool had 12 items regarding patient characteristics, cancer-specific diagnostic and treatment characteristics and the presence of common comorbidities (eg hypertension, diabetes, ischaemic heart disease) as suggested for inclusion by the consultants. Most of the items had response options whereby the trained extractor was required to indicate the presence of specific characteristics. To assess inter-rater reliability, a second trained researcher extracted data from a random selection of at least 10% of medical records (n = 38; 12%) independently. Both extractors were health care professionals trained in data abstraction by the medical registrar, and were blind to the diagnostic and treatment details of patients as described in the APDC.
We calculated sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of the APDC data against the case record data (gold standard) for the following: 1) diagnosis for site-specific upper GI cancer; 2) curative resection for site-specific cancer and 3) comorbid conditions. Sensitivity was calculated as the proportion of cases/procedures of cancer or comorbidity reported in the APDC as compared with the true diagnosis/procedure as determined by the case data. We did not calculate specificity or negative predictive value as the denominator (the population without a GI cancer diagnosis) was not ascertained.
Of the persons with site-specific cancer diagnosis/procedure or comorbid condition in the entire APDC (ie true and false report), the PPV was calculated as the proportion with a matching case/procedure from abstracted data (ie true report).
We determined the agreement between the case medical record data and the APDC using the kappa statistic, which adjusts for the agreement that would be observed on the basis of chance. A κ-value >0.75 is an indication of excellent agreement whilst that between 0.40 and 0.75 represents fair to good agreement .
We identified surgical resections in the APDC using the Medicare Benefits Schedule-Extended classification of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD_10_AM) procedural block codes for oesophagectomy (0858–0860), gastrectomy (875–879), pancreatectomy and excision of lesions of pancreas (978 and 979 90294–01, 30578–00) and excision procedures of the liver (953) . Upper GI cancer classification recorded in the APDC as a reason for the episode of care, or comorbidities were identified using ICD_10_AM diagnostic codes from the primary and up to 10 secondary diagnostic fields. Comorbidity ICD-10 diagnostic codes were as follows: hypertension (I10-I15), diabetes (E10.1, E10.5, E10.9, E11.1, E11.5, E11.9, E13.1, E13.5, E13.9, E14.1, E14.5, E14.9), ischemic heart disease (I2-I25), GORD (K21.0, K21.9), alcohol abuse (F10.1, F10.2, K70, Z72.1, Z86.41), hepatitis B or C (B16, B18, B19, K73), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (J44) and dementia (F01-F03).
We also used the kappa statistic to calculate inter-rater reliability of the extracted data for cancer diagnosis, curative resection and comorbidity. Inter-rater reliability between the record extractors was κ = 0.91 and κ = 0.74 for overall site-specific cancer diagnosis and curative surgery respectively. Agreement for specific comorbidities was κ =1.00 for diabetes, ischaemic heart disease and hypertension and κ =0.64 for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Hence we felt the data obtained by the main extractor could be analysed with confidence.
All statistical analyses were performed using SAS software, version 11.2 (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC).
The study was approved by the NSW Population and Health Services Research Ethics Committee (Ref 2010/05/253) and site specific approvals from Prince of Wales, St George, Sutherland and Wollongong Hospitals.
Of the 472 potential cases identified in AHS clinical database, 337 (71%) were available for review; however due to mismatching errors during the data linkage process, four records did not link to the APDC. Of the remaining 333 medical records 240 patients had an incident diagnosis of upper GI cancer; this constituted our study cohort. The majority of patients without incident upper GI cancer (n = 91/333) had another primary cancer type (eg lung, renal cell, unknown primary site) and there was insufficient information in the medical records or associated notes to determine cancer diagnosis type for the remaining two patients.
Over half of the 240 patients with upper GI cancer as classified in the medical chart review were >70 years of age in 2006 (55%), with 35% aged 51–70 years; comparable to patients with no primary diagnosis of upper GI cancer (63% and 27% respectively). 32% (n = 76) of the cases had an incident diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, 30% (n = 71) gastric cancer, 25% (n = 59) oesophageal cancer and 14% (n = 34) liver cancer. Only 27% (64/240) of all upper GI cancer patients had curative surgery; the majority being for gastric cancer (42%) and pancreatic cancer (27%). The most common comorbidity reported in the study cohort was hypertension (50% of patients), with fewer reports of diabetes (32%), GORD (20%), ischaemic heart disease (IHD: 18%), alcohol abuse (9%) or Hepatitis B or C (7%). Similar comorbidity profiles were found in the patients not classified with upper GI cancer from the medical chart review.
Compared with the medical records, overall sensitivity for site-specific cancer diagnosis for the APDC was 89% (95% CI 84-93%). Sensitivity for each cancer diagnosis was satisfactory, ranging from 80% (95% CI 67-89%) for oesophageal cancer to 95% (95%CI 86-98%) for pancreatic cancer (Table 1). Overall sensitivity for curative surgery for upper GI cancer from the APDC was 84% (95%CI 73-92%), ranging from 67% (95% CI 24-94%) for oesophageal cancer to 91% (95%CI 57-99%) for liver cancer.
* IHD = Ischaemic heart disease;42 GORD = gastro-oesophageal reflux disease; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Misclassification was the most common reason for false-negative reports in the hospital discharge data; for diagnosis 11 oesophageal cancers were classified as gastric cancer, whilst seven gastric, two liver and four pancreatic cancers were misclassified as another primary cancer (such as lung cancer or renal cell carcinoma). Two surgeries for oesophageal cancer were misclassified in the discharge data as occurring for gastric cancer, three pancreatic and three gastric cancer surgeries were misclassified as occurring for liver cancer and one liver cancer was assigned to another primary cancer (renal cell).
PPV for diagnosis of incident cancer in the APDC ranged from 42% for liver cancer to 81% for pancreatic cancer. With the exception of liver cancer, PPV for curative surgery was reasonably high (ranging from 79% to 93%).
Hence, although incident cases and procedures were under-ascertained, fair to very good agreement between the two data sources was shown for cancer diagnosis (κ-coefficient ranging from 0.42 to 0.84) and curative surgery (κ-coefficient ranging from 0.68 to 0.83) (Table 1).
Sensitivity was highest for dementia (70.0%, 95%CI 35-92%) and lowest for GORD (8.5%, 95%CI 3-21%). PPV was variable, ranging from 17% (95%CI 6-38%) for GORD to 98% (95%CI 87-100%) for diabetes. Agreement between the two data sources was low to fair. Comorbidities were underreported in the APDC.
There is widespread and increasing use of population-level hospital discharge diagnostic and procedural codes to monitor processes and outcome of care for health services research. The validation of coding in health administrative datasets has been identified as a priority in health services research by an international consortium . However, validation studies remain uncommon . This study contributes to the body of knowledge regarding the accuracy of administrative hospital discharge data (APDC) for cancer-related diagnoses, associated resection and comorbidity. This study also adds to the current literature on the nature and extent of reporting of comorbid diseases in population administrative data.
The distribution of site-specific cancers reported in our study was similar to the distribution of upper GI cancers in the Australian population . The proportion of patients undergoing curative resection was also consistent with other studies [5, 27, 28]. We demonstrated that the APDC records cancer diagnosis and procedures at an acceptable level when compared to the medical record gold standard. We obtained similar levels of sensitivity for diagnosis compared to previous validation studies examining other cancers [17–19]. Previous validation studies examining breast and prostate cancer diagnoses have also shown surgical procedure records in administrative data to be well reported both in New South Wales [7, 20] and internationally [29, 30]. Nevertheless, true incident cancer cases and procedures from administrative data are still under-reported [31, 32] and hence linkage with other datasets, such as registry-based data is recommended for case-ascertainment. Conversely, using hospital discharge data as the source for detecting incident upper GI cancer will over-estimate the incident rate, as false-positives are reported.
Our study also demonstrated the lower validity of common comorbidities reported in hospital discharge data. Despite an improvement in the accuracy of comorbid coding (with the introduction of ICD-10 coding) in administrative data over recent years, sensitivity when compared with medical records is generally low . Our finding is consistent with a previous Australian study reporting under-ascertainment in more than 80 of 100 conditions in hospital discharge data . The under-ascertainment of comorbidities in administrative data has been attributed to incompleteness of data transfer from medical records in individual hospitals to administrative databases [34–36]. Hospital coders are required to report medical conditions that affect the specific admission, however financial incentives may also impact on comorbidities which are reported. For example, recording of certain comorbidities over others may occur due to their effect on patient length-of-hospital-stay and procedures performed resulting in greater financial re-imbursement to the hospital. Misclassification of similarly related diseases (eg Barrett's oesophagus versus GORD, COPD versus emphysema) may also occur. Clearly, the under-reporting of common comorbidities has implications for researchers using hospital discharge data as the sole source for assessing incidence, procedures, health outcomes and patient comorbidity as our study and others have identified that case ascertainment is likely to be incomplete.
Population dataset linkage is a cost-effective and attractive method for undertaking health services research, as large representative cohorts can be investigated efficiently when compared with traditional methods of recruiting participants from the population of interest. However, the validation of codes used to identify patients with particular health states and/or undergoing hospital procedures is essential to avoid misclassification bias which has the potential to undermine the internal validity and interpretation of study findings. This validation study showed that hospital discharge data has some limitation in the reporting of cancer, related curative resection and comorbidity. The outcomes from this validation study on cancer-related hospital administrative data will be important for consideration of future cancer surgical prevalence and outcomes by researchers and policy makers.
However, this validation study was limited to one clinical cancer group in an urban AHS in NSW, of which only 70% of the cases could be reviewed. Nevertheless, as cases were from four different hospital sites and the capture of cases is extremely high, it was thought that selection bias would be minimal and that the medical record data were indicative of records in the AHS clinical database. However, future studies should assess data accuracy across multiple jurisdictions and across several cancers. In addition, we used an AHS clinical database to assist in identifying potential GI cancer cases, as doing otherwise would have been significantly more time and cost intensive. This method does not allow for estimates of the NSW population without upper GI cancer, hence specificity and negative predictive value of the hospital discharge data could not be measured.
Hospital administrative data provide a valid method of investigating health outcomes. However cases, procedures and comorbidity in population-level hospital discharge data is under-ascertained and hence researchers and policy-makers should acknowledge this in research and health planning assessments. Linkage across multiple datasets is recommended to improve case ascertainment.

Labour market statistics
Published: 15 Nov 2017 10:34
Scottish employment rate higher than the UK.
Scotland's employment rate grew over the year to 75.2% (July to September 2017). There are now 2,652,000 people aged 16 years and above in employment.
Labour Market Statistics released today by ONS today, show:
Scotland's employment rate increased over the year to 75.2% above the UK rate of 75.0%
Over the year, Scotland's unemployment rate decreased by 0.8 percentage points to 4.0 %, lower than the UK rate of 4.3%
Over the quarter, Scotland's inactivity rate decreased by 0.1 percentage points to 21.6 %, the same as the UK
Over the quarter Scotland's female employment rate increased to 72.1% higher than the UK rate of 70.6%
Over the year, Scotland's youth unemployment rate decreased by 2.6 percentage points to 9.4%, lower than the UK of 13.2%
Minster for Employability and Training Jamie Hepburn said:
"These latest employment figures are encouraging and show Scotland has higher employment rates and lower unemployment rates than the UK with 88,000 more people in employment compared to the pre-recession peak.
"Youth unemployment rates continue to outperform the UK. This comes on top of us fulfilling our commitment to reduce youth unemployment by 40%, four years ahead of schedule.
"While these figures are positive we recognise there are still many barriers to getting people into work and are continuing to work to improve labour market conditions.
"Our new devolved employability support programmes are supporting people into work, whilst our ambitious new target to make Scotland a Living Wage Nation will promote fair pay.
"Today's figures also show the Scottish labour market continues to perform well against a difficult backdrop, echoing the most recent State of the Economy Report which shows growth over the first half of 2017, with forecasts remaining positive for the future.
"However, the lack of clarity from the UK Government on Brexit poses the biggest threat to our economy and we will continue to call on the UK Government to give people and businesses greater certainty."

Q: Basic Authentication problem with custom API endpoints I have problem with basic authentication when using custom API custom end point, can anyone help me out for how to set up basic authentication for custom API endpoint. Also I want to get user id of logged in user when I use my custom API.

A: If you're looking at actual "basic authentication", check out the Basic Auth plugin. Note that it's for the REST API plugin, not the core implementation, so you'll need to adjust some filters.
If you're looking for authentiction for the current user based on their current cookies in the browser, the REST API has that built in, you'll just need to pass a X-WP-Nonce header with your HTTP request.
You can learn more here: http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/
Hope that helps!

A: You should add permission_callback parameter when registering a custom route
add_action('rest_api_init', function ($data) {
        register_rest_route('wp/v1', '/hamza',
            array(
                'methods' => 'GET',
                'callback' => 'get_posts',
                'permission_callback' => function ($request) {
                        if (current_user_can('edit_others_posts'))
                        return true;
                 }
             )

I can't imagine living without art surrounding me every day and I know personally the power it has to uplift and inspire. A few years ago I bought a stunning and beautifully printed calendar by famed British photographer Michael Kenna and it was so beautiful that I couldn't bring myself to throw it away at the end of the year. 2015 is the 19th year of his publishing this calendar which is produced in Japan and the images look almost like original prints.
So I decided that I would cut up the calendar and frame each of the images and donate them to local non profits. The frames were donated by the family of Julian T. Baker Jr., a passionate Raleigh photography collector, after he passed away in 2011. Cassilhaus donated the first set to Genesis Home and then the Durham Literacy Center. I started working with the interns here to make it part of the framing training we do and then it gave us an opportunity to involve them in learning about local non profits when we deliver the prints. Last year we donated to Threshold and this year we donated five framed pictures each to Compass Center and Durham Crisis Response Center. Both are doing amazing work in domestic violence prevention and sexual assault victim support and care.
Please consider supporting these organizations that work in our community and send me suggestions and recommendations for other organizations in Durham and Chapel Hill that would benefit from photography in their facilities. I just ordered the 2014 and 2015 calendars so we are ready to frame!


Viral Crypto Review – Real Business Or Scam?
What's the real story about Viral Crypto aka "VC"?
Viral Crypto recently launched and named Randolph Taylor as administrator of the company. As rumor has it, Taylor is established in Italy, which is where Viral Crypto is doing business out of. His corporate bio discloses that he has "many years" experience with MLM.
Being an online entrepreneur for many years, I am extremely passionate about assisting others with their online ventures. This includes notifying potential entrepreneurs of on online schemes and legitimate companies.
Having said that, in researching this company, I was unable to self-reliantly verify that Randolph Taylor truly exists, beyond what is published on the Viral Crypto website.
Alexa presently estimates that India is the main source of traffic to the Viral Crypto website at 46.8%.
Please read further for a complete review of this MLM opportunity.
Viral Crypto has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market the VC affiliate membership itself.
The compensation plan for the company has affiliates gift bitcoins to the existing company affiliates. Then, these gifting payments qualify an affiliate to receive gifting payments from subsequently recruited affiliates.
Interestingly enough, gifting payments in VC are tracked through a 2×5 matrix.
So, what is a 2×5 matrix? It is used in placing affiliates in a tree-line tier. An affiliate is placed at the top of a matrix, with 2 positions right underneath them.
Now, these 2 positions form the 1st level of the matrix. The 2nd level of the matrix is created by splitting each of the 2 positions into an additional 2 positions each, equaling 4 positions.
The next levels of 3 to 5 are created in the identical manner, with the whole 2×5 matrix covering a total of 62 positions.
So, why does this matter? Read on.
Take note: The above gifting payments are all repeated monthly.
In order to partake in this MLM prospect, a gifting payment of 0.03263 BTC is mandatory.
And here's the best part, or should I say the worst part…once you join under the pretext of giving and receiving contributions, Viral Crypto then becomes a simple five-tier cash gifting scheme.
Look, it goes like this. New affiliates will gift funds to current Viral Crypto affiliates, which will then qualify them to receive gifting payments from previously recruited affiliates.
I honestly don't believe that Randolph Taylor truly exists, but even if he does, Viral Crypto look as if it is a company who have many years of practice devising similar scams.
And that's not all. As with all cash gifting schemes, once enrollment of new Viral Crypto affiliates end, so too will any payments channeling into the company-wide matrix.
Bottom line? This will begin with the largest affiliate group at the very bottom of the matrix. And, sadly, unable to recruit new affiliates to their scam, they will ultimately stop disbursing any monthly payments to their up line.
Then, of course, if the up line affiliates cannot recruit any new prey to swap out with those who stop paying, they will in due course stop paying their up line affiliates also.
Do you see what I'm saying? Over time this whole procedure will extend all through the VC company-wide matrix and finally – an irreparable breakdown is caused.
In essence, at that point anyone who has not recruited ample affiliates in order to protect their own gifting payments ultimately loses out big time. Precisely, this is certain to be the majority of Viral Crypto affiliates at any given time. This is scheming at its best!


I normally reserve this blog solely for things written by yours truly. However, as anyone who knows me is likely well aware, I tend to have rather strong views about copyright…namely, that copyright is a bad thing. Recently, my fellow blogger and author Aelius Blythe posted this essay on Medium, and I felt that it is a perfect description of the utterly backwards way the language surrounding the copyright debate is structured. As a signal boost, and to practice what I preach (specifically, sharing and spreading a good thing by copying it) I've decided to re-post her entire essay here. Thank you, Aelius, for the inspiration.
"Director Simon Klose has won his copyright battle. For now.
In case you haven't been paying attention to this year's drama in the pirate world, here's the 5 minute summary: Simon Klose is not your usual Hollywood crusader fighting those damn kids pirating his movies. In fact, this year, he was fighting to defend his own film – the documentary on the Pirate Bay trial, TPB AFK – from overzealous DMCA takedowns. The takedown notices weren't directed at the content – which he himself uploaded to YouTube and the Pirate Bay –they were rather attacks on Google for even linking to the content. While not removing his work, this made it harder to find for your average viewer who doesn't have a favorite Google-alternative at the ready.
Mr. Klose isn't alone – Google gets over a million takedown requests every month to remove links to so-called pirate sites. Chilling Effects keeps a record of DMCA takedowns, which occasionally contain hilarious errors, like requests to remove content from Hulu or even the rightsholder's own website. However, sometimes these errors are not so hilarious. While they cannot be proved to be malicious, takedowns often target news sites, reviewers, and even other creators, like Mr. Klose.
Fortunately, this battle ended well for the creator.
Unfortunately, not all creators are fearless Swedish pirates with the Pirate Bay on their side.
What of the smaller creators who don't make the news? What of the creators who don't have the resources or connections to fight false copyright DMCAs? What about your average small-time, indie filmmaker or artist or author who doesn't even know that they can fight the far more powerful DMCA-wielders?
I'm a newbie to the writing world, and a relative unknown outside of my small circle of readers, writers and fellow bloggers. Having reliable ways to be able to reach readers is absolutely essential. With so many content creators online, it's way too easy to get lost in the competition. If a reader hits an obstacle – like a disappeared link or DRM that doesn't play well with their e-reader of choice – they'll just move on. Here at the bottom rung of the ladder, it's really hard to get noticed, and one stumbling block can set all your hard work back several paces.
Fortunately, for authors we have libraries.
Libraries – the old standby for access to information, art, and culture.
Libraries – free to all, and proud of it.
In their digital incarnation, libraries have been the subject of intense copyright debates over how the readers benefit at the expense of writers by getting things for free. But the reality is that libraries can be a serious advantage for authors as well.
It's an advantage I am thankful for every time I reach a new reader.
But some people want to take it away.
Earlier this year, while Google was censoring Mr. Klose's documentary, somebody was DMCA-ing my books at The Ultimate Ebook Library. And it wasn't me.
And these weren't just links disappearing, these were my books. Somebody took my books away. And it turns out, mine weren't the only ones. I recently heard from another author whose books were removed without her consent, and from the owner of the Ebook Library who recognizes that, sadly, these are not isolated incidents. While the library of course reinstates the books as soon as they are told, the implications of these kinds of errors ("errors") are troubling. How many others out there have had their work disappeared, and don't even know it, or don't know what they can do about it? As a creator, especially a small-time creator, I can tell you that it is an unbelievably helpless feeling to have your primary channel for reaching fans hobbled.
The Copying is stealing! mythos has terrorized the entertainment industries since the days of Napster. Almost fifteen years, later few people – not even the Supreme Court – hold onto the literal interpretation of that particular moral stance. We laugh (or glare) at the rich and powerful making 9 year old girls and grandmothers into hardened criminals. But while many don't exactly believe that copying = stealing, the fact is that the newspeak of the copyright monopoly is so pervasive, their new language so obfuscated, that many have well and truly forgotten the meaning of the words.
As much as we laugh at the old You wouldn't steal a car! interpretation of copyright infringement, we also laugh at – or worse, ignore – the counterargument that copying isn't stealing. Whenever the topic comes up in writer's circles, there's eye-rolling and head-shaking. It's old news, but no one remembers it. Authors still rail against their readers "stealing" their profits. And even journalists in the mainstream media, often and incorrectly, refer to infringement as theft.
Did we forget that actual theft meant taking something away?
Did we forget that actual stealing deprives a person of what's taken?
Whoever took books down from the Ebook Library, or links from Google, or videos from YouTube isn't sharing something, isn't copying something, isn't borrowing something. They are taking something away.
And yet, this is ok.
You won't hear journalists call that theft. You won't hear writers complain about stolen profits. You won't have the responsible parties disconnected from the internet or forced to take a class on DMCA abuse, or made to pay the victim 7,000 per book in restitution and punitive damages.
Sharing, copying, and borrowing are – under the new language – terrible, terrible acts of theft. And yet taking something away – whether it's a distribution channel or other means of communicating with fans– is totally ok. That's a mistake. That's acceptable collateral damage.
Yeah, our creative work is collateral damage.
This isn't just a consequence of overreaching laws, bumbling politicians, or greedy lobbyists. It is a consequence of a forceful and deliberate manipulation of the very building blocks we use to understand our world: our words.
Yes, languages change. Words shift, meanings appear and disappear, and our understanding evolves. That's what makes language useful — it's adaptable.

Linden Foods Reaches The Final of England's Best Sirloin Steak
Posted 10th February 2015
Local manufacturer Linden Foods has made it through to the final stage of 'England's Best Sirloin Steak' competition with its 'Chef's Larder Premium Extra Mature Sirloin' steak. It supplies this product to a national chain of wholesalers based in England.
Run by EBLEX, 'England's Best Sirloin Steak' is one of three competitions to make up the newly launched Quality Standard Mark Excellence Awards 2015. Along with 'England's Best Innovative Steak and 'England's Best Steak Pie', the awards recognise steak products that deliver excellent eating qualities and the highest levels of customer satisfaction both in and out of the home.
Butchers, supermarkets and caterers sent in entries to be judged by meat industry experts in all three competitions, but only the highest scoring made it through to the final.
Linden Foods entered the 'Multiple Retailer/Supplier' category in England's Best Sirloin Steak competition and its 'Chef's Larder Premium Extra Mature Sirloin' was one of just six in the category to achieve a prestigious Gold Award.
From those, only the best three sirloin steaks were selected to go through to the final, which means that Linden Foods has a good chance of being crowned winner of the Multiple Retailer/Supplier category.
There were two other categories in the competition – 'Independent Retailer' and 'Foodservice' – and one of the category winners will go on to be named Overall Champion of England's Best Sirloin Steak competition.
In the contest, entries were put through their paces with judges marking against set criteria, including aroma, colour, marbling, flavour and juiciness. In addition, scientific 'shear force' testing was used to measure tenderness.
Managing Director of Linden Foods, Gerry Maguire commented, "We are delighted to have won a Gold Award and to be voted into the final for our Chef's Larder Premium Extra Mature Sirloin Steaks. To be among the top 3 best sirloin steaks in England chosen by very experienced judges is a real testament to the quality of our supply chain and a huge endorsement of our product. Hopefully we can go one further and win it."
Competition organiser, foodservice project manager for EBLEX, Hugh Judd, said, "Sirloin is a prime cut which is one of the nation's favourite steaks thanks to its fine texture and wonderful flavour. We know there are many excellent examples on sale across the country and we wanted to recognise the very best in the business. The competition so far has been extremely tough. Not only did we receive a great number of entries but the quality of sirloin steaks submitted was incredibly high. Without doubt there has been a fantastic display from businesses, such as Linden Foods. We wish them the very best of luck in the final."

After a couple of sizeable hits the live action franchise sank quickly with Turtles 3 back in 1993. This CGI rebirth was up against five new movies including one aimed at the younger market, not to mention the might of Sparta in 300. Curiously, the original movie opened with about the same box office as the 1990 original, though it must be noted that this doesn't mean the 2007 is a failure - Turtle-mania was arguably at its height in the early 90s. This new version came out of nowhere (though it had a strong online awareness) and those fans of the original are now the parents taking their kids. And let's not forget, kids have had nothing but Bridge to Terabithia for the last month.
300 drops just 37% in its third weekend and still has a $20M weekend. Any other week it would have retained the top spot but after two huge weekends and six new films to face off against, it was bound to see a decent dip in takings. Still, it heads onwards towards $200M, which it might just see before ending its domestic run. A resounding success for all concerned.
The Mark Wahlberg action thriller Shooter blasts into third. After critical success with The Departed and some minor hits with Invincible & Four Brothers, Shooter disappoints slightly. This might have less to do with film and more to do with the glut of new and existing releases all vying for attention. This had a pretty high production budget and it's going to struggle to recoup a good portion of that. Though it's on another 600 screens, Wild Hogs drops in just behind Shooter and may actually finish ahead of it when final numbers are released. Wild Hogs is now it's fourth weekend and still has to open in a large number of foreign markets.
For a month the kid market has had just one release to keep its occupied but this week along with TMNT the demographic has The Last Mimzy (Not a documentary on the female sex organ or the last prostitute in the world), a story about two children who develop amazing talents after discovering a mysterious box full of toys. Mimzy had a not bad opening but how much better could it have been had it opened a week earlier or later, thus avoiding the onslaught of TMNT.
Premonition drops 3 places and 42% of business in its second weekend on the chart. The Sandra Bullock thriller is comfortably in profit, costing just $20M to produce.
The quick sequel to last March's Hill Have Eyes remake doesn't perform as well, thanks in part to law of diminishing returns and increased competition for its target market (both 300 and Shooter will have covered a huge portion of Hills 2 potential market). Like lasts years original, this sequel has no stars, was made cheaply and should see a strong DVD release.
Adam Sandler's lastest stab at serious drops in at eight. The movie features Sandler as a widow whos family was killed in the attack on the Twin Towers, and Don Cheadle as an old college friend who tries to rekindle their friendship, hoping to help his friend heal in the process. All bets are off for this one - it's had a relatively limited opening (1600 locations), it's not a Sandler comedy so his built in market will have almost certainly stayed away and (for the 20000th time in this report) it was facing five other new releases and at least two strong hold-overs from previous weeks. This won't hang around long but will score Sandler some points for taking on such a challenging role and playing it well.
Our final new entry is yet another sports underdogs overcoming huge odds to triumph. Pride features Terence Howard as a swimming coach for a team of troubled teenagers coming up against Tom Arnold's racist rival coach & team. Why this movie was released this week I have no idea - on a quieter week it could have easily added another $4M. This will be forgotten come next weekend.
Rounding out the top ten is horror Dead Silence, managing to cling on there as better movies dropped out the chart around it.

The Hollywood Wax Museum Auctions 200 Wax Figures on May 1st
Apr 3, 2009 HUMPHREY BOGART, JAMES DEAN, LIZ TAYLOR, MARILYN MONROE, THE BEATLES, THE HOLLYWOOD WAX MUSEUM, TOM CRUISE, WAX FIGURES
Liz Taylor, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, Barbra Streisand, Tom Cruise, The Beatles, Princess Diana, Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Washington, Lincoln, Kennedy Among the Stars, Athletes and Historical Figures To Be Offered to the Public for the First Time.
Calabasas, CA, April 2, 2009 – For the first time in its 44-year history, the world-famous Hollywood Wax Museum is offering hand-sculpted wax figures and original costumes for auction. Over 200 figures, including top stars, musicians, athletes, and historical individuals that have been seen by millions of visitors in Hollywood, CA and Branson, MO from the 1970s to present will be sold by Profiles in History, the world's leading Hollywood memorabilia dealer, on Friday, May 1, 2009. Worldwide bids can be placed either in person, via mail, phone, fax or live on the Internet at www.LiveAuctioneers.com.
Authentic costumes including Robert Englund's "Freddy Krueger" costume; Jason Voorhees' costume from Freddy vs. Jason; Irene Ryan's "Granny" hat from The Beverly Hillbillies and an original Cats costume on a life-size display figure will be available. These items also come from the Hollywood Wax Museum and the Hollywood Guinness World Records Museum, under the same ownership.
The Hollywood Wax Museum's famous figures were meticulously crafted by its previous team of wax sculptors, artists and costumers as tributes to the most iconic people and the most cherished moments in classic and current entertainment.
Now the longest running attraction of its kind in the nation, the Hollywood Wax Museum was created by storied entrepreneur Spoony Singh, and all three locations continue to be owned by and operated by his sons and grandson. Their company, Kuvera Attractions, recently retired the figures and original Hollywood costumes available in this exclusive auction through Profiles in History while making renovations in the Hollywood and Branson museums.
"This is an exciting time for us," said Partner Tej Sundher, Singh's grandson. "We are putting the finishing touches on our largest renovation of the Wax Museum in Branson since we opened it in 1996, and our focus is solely Hollywood-centric. We are no longer showcasing athletes and historical personalities at any of our Museums. We are also providing more opportunities for visitors to get into the sets with the stars for incredible pictures, so we are working with a different team of artists who are using new techniques to create life-like figures that are somewhat less fragile than the older ones."
According to Joe Maddalena, President and CEO of Profiles in History, "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a true piece of Hollywood's history. Millions of people from all over the world have visited the Hollywood Wax Museum and seen these amazing wax figures, each of them a piece of art in itself. Profiles in History is honored to be selected by the wax museum to handle these treasures and to pass them on to collectors."
Each figure comes with a signed certificate of authenticity from the Hollywood Wax Museum. A portion of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to assist in the ongoing effort to preserve the historic Walk of Fame.
Highlights of the wax figures being offered include:
Film / TV Stars:
Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, Tom Cruise, Barbra Streisand, Charlie Chaplin, Clint Eastwood, Will Smith, Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Wizard of Oz cast, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, Henry Winkler, Seinfeld cast, MASH cast, Lucille Ball, The Three Stooges, Don Johnson, Star Trek cast
The Beatles, Cher, Elton John, Sammy Davis, Jr., Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash
Muhammad Ali, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Joe Montana, Mike Tyson, Mark McGwire, Hulk Hogan
Historical Figures:

A downloadable catalog of all the available wax figures will soon be available at www.profilesinhistory.com.

UPDATE | Autopsy on Josey basketball player could take months to be completed
Recardell Sheppard (WRDW-TV)
By Jorge Lopez |

News 12 at 6pm / Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) --- New developments in our investigation into the death of a Josey High senior who collapsed in the school gym during a pick-up basketball game and died at the hospital.
The coroner tells News 12 GBI agents finished their autopsy in Atlanta Wednesday. However, lots of questions about what happened to CJ Sheppard remain. It could be six months before we know what killed the 17-year-old athlete.
It was a fun basketball game until the sudden change.
"Very shortly after 5 p.m. he started to experience some complications," Richmond County's School Police Chief, Alfonzo Williams, told News 12.
Every second counts when life's time clock is ticking and at 5:01 p.m. the school says someone called for help
"EMS arrived a few minutes after the call came in and the student was later transported to the hospital where he expired." Chief Williams told News 12
Williams said his preliminary review of the last moments of CJ's life puts the ambulance at Josey High School 12 minutes after the call.
The school system's police department does hope to have a completed review soon, but they are not taking any options off the table. T.W. Josey had cameras and investigators could be looking at that video to get answers.
"We have been conducting the review since the incident occurred and we will get to those who need to be talked to within a responsible time," Williams said.
Police interviews of CJ Sheppard's classmates who were in the gym when he collapsed could wrap up Wednesday. Those must be finished before the full review can be released.
"It could be as early as Thursday or it can be as late as Monday," said Williams of the timeline for the completed review.
With the full review expected soon the GBI autopsy is complete. The coroner says results could take 26 weeks so toxicology and other test results can be analyzed.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) --- New details are released in the death of a Josey High School student who collapsed during a pick-up game and died at the hospital.
An autopsy was completed Wednesday in Atlanta. The findings are pending toxicology and histology, according to Kenneth Boose with the Richmond County Coroner's Office. The results could take up to 26 weeks for the GBI to complete, Boose said.
Richmond County Board of Education Police tell News 12 a Josey coach called 911 at 5:01 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 13th. EMS arrived at the school at 5:13 p.m. Sheppard was taken to Georgia Regents Medical Center and was pronounced dead at 6:33 p.m.
RCBOE police are interviewing students to get a more accurate timeline of the events that led up to Sheppard's collapse.
Original story - News 12 at 6 O'Clock/ Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2014
The lowered flags outside of T W Josey High School are a reflection on what's going on inside.
"I called the students in myself and talked to them. I told them death does not have an age and we are going to get through it," said the school's Principal Isaac Lee.
Recardell Sheppard a high school senior better known as CJ died after collapsing on the basketball court during a pick-up game last night.
"How have you held up during all this," asked News 12's Jorge Lopez.
"Mr. Lopez it's been hard it's been rough," Mr. Lee answered.
While grief counselors meet with students the system is putting together a timeline of what exactly happened.
"The day of his death, he missed cross country practice to go to ACT prep because we were prepping him for the test," he said.
CJ's potential on the court and off is what principal Lee calls inspiration .
"If I had 10 Recardell Sheppard's I could really turn T W Josey around," he said.
Lee says students grieving for a friend's loss should also remember his living example
"He left us doing what he loved best and that's the game of basketball. He really planned to use it as a tool to further his education and get out of his environment," Lee told News 12.
Richmond County's Athletic Director says CJ's potential could've earned him a basketball scholarship. No telling if UGA was on the list, but the head basketball coach did send his condolences on twitter.
"This tragedy has impacted not only his family, but here at the school and the community as well," Mr. Lee said.
While CJ took his last shot on earth some believe he'll be watching and cheering Josey on this year from above.
A candlelight vigil will be held at T W Josey Wednesday at 7pm. The public is welcome.
News 12 at 5 o'clock/ Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2014
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) ---Grief counselors on hand Tuesday at Josey High School to help students cope with the death of a high school basketball player.
Recardell Sheppard, 17, collapsed on the Josey High School Gym floor Monday afternoon during a pick-up game of basketball.
School police are helping the coroner's office nail down a timeline of what happened when the senior died. News 12 breaks down what we know and why Sheppard's autopsy could take weeks.
The death of Josey High School Senior Recardell Sheppard is a mystery.
"He was playing a pick up basketball in the gym and fainted. They were able to revive him periodically, but we are really not sure of all of the details," said Richmond County Superintendent Dr. Angela Pringle.
Recardell is better known as CJ to his friends. Just a day after his death CJ's absence is felt in school. His classmates shared hugs and passed around a card to send to his family.
"Our focus to be honest with you is really on supporting the family, supporting the siblings, and supporting the students. We were there this morning with grief counselors," Dr. Pringle told News 12
Dr. Pringle also tells News 12 that the school system's police department is assisting the Richmond County Coroner with getting a timeline on what exactly happened when the Josey High School Senior passed away. The coroner said two thirds of student-athlete deaths are related to heart conditions. Which is a possible reason why the high school senior passed away.
"As we work with the coroner and our own internal staff we will have more information that is more fact based," Dr Pringle told News 12.
The coroner's office says an autopsy will be done on CJ, but limited space at the GBI could delay the autopsy until at least Wednesday
"He was the kind of young man that anybody would want as a son," said Richmond County Athletic Director, George Bailey.
Bailey said CJ's grades and love for sports drove his desire to continue with college
"He definitely would have received a scholarship somewhere. I don't know whether it would be division 1, 2, 3 but he had the talent," Bailey told News 12.
It could be days or even weeks before the GBI release how CJ died.
"We as a school system want to provide all information and be as accessible as possible," Dr. Pringle said.
Even though CJ can no longer dribble the ball his legacy will roll on forever in the people he touched.
Again a review will be done at the school to find out what happened and when, but they don't have a timeline yet on when that will happen.

OYS: What you should know before installing your child's car seat


Dr Tejinder Bhatti's Darling Buds Clinic, located at Chandigarh, India, is today regarded as one of the first and best international clinics totally dedicated to FUE hair transplant. It is the first clinic in the world, previously doing 100% FUT hair transplants, to completely transform into a 'FUE only' hair transplant center as long back as 2009. You are witness to the fact that the world over this change over is being replicated in clinics which were earlier doing FUT only. For, FUE has become a force to reckon with due to quality hair transplant results giving enviable, reproducible results, case after case. Today, FUE is the procedure of choice of a discerning client like you and many more.
Dr Tejinder Bhatti believes that the following points are important to maintain a high level of a long-lasting patient- doctor relationship especially in the field of hair transplant.
Patients who come to Darling Buds under the care of Dr Tejinder Bhatti, Director, Darling Buds HTC, have a set of rights with which the staff and the Director himself are under oath to abide by. These principles have stood the test of time for our practice and we recommend them to all who train at this center before starting their hair transplant practice."We at Darling Buds Hair Transplant are pleased to announce that DR KULWANT S BHANGOO MD FRCS (Eng,Ed,Glasgow) will be associated with our practice for cosmetic surgery procedures only.
What after the Hair Transplant !
So you've finally had that long-awaited hair transplant, and you are ready to go home and start growing hair! Well, that's great, but let's slow down a bit and think about all the things that may help in insuring the best possible outcome for this procedure. Above all, follow the instructions you've been given; they are there for a reason, and much energy has been put into developing a set of guidelines for patients after FUE. After all, you have paid in money and time for the operation, and the doctor and his team have performed a meticulous and demanding procedure.


The Affordable Care Act will change the responsibilities and the expectations of financial management executives in the coming years and decades, Hospitals & Health Networks reported.
The changes due to healthcare reform will impact the bottom lines of hospitals in a major way, according to the article. More hospitals will engage in financial risk sharing. And initiatives such as population health management will require organizations to invest large sums of money in order to maintain their viability, all while weathering lower patient volumes.
"At a certain point, if you're taking on 100 percent risk, you're an insurance company, and your hospitals are cost centers," Jason Sussman, a managing director for Kaufman, Hall & Associates, told Hospitals & Health Networks. "That is a significant change for capital planning and financial planning."
In the meantime, fee-for-service revenue streams remain substantial, which means the transition to more risk-based finances will be neither instantaneous nor seamless. And executives will have to assess their own specific markets in order to make wise decisions.
"It's tempting to talk about the nation as a single trend, but the most striking thing is that there are really dramatic differences in individual markets," Andrew Ziskind, M.D., a managing director for Huron Consulting Group, told Hospitals & Health Networks. "What we are finding is significant variability, and that puts the CEO and the leadership team in a real dilemma. Very often, there's a clear sense of the needed direction, yet concern that if the organization moves too quickly, there could be an adverse financial impact."
Indeed, hospital CFOs have become more invested in the day-to-day operations of their hospitals in recent years in order to gauge how even relatively mundane tasks impact the bottom line of their institutions.
Financial executives will also have to become more invested in healthcare IT, particularly the implementation of electronic medical records and work on adopting such systems to the demands of population health management, according to the article.
