POSITRACTION: Clostridium difficile treatment cheap and easy

Frozen poop pills can help fight life-threatening intestinal
infections
*** begin quote ***
The pills take the place of fecal transplants, which have gained
credibility in recent years as a method of treating Clostridium
difficile infection, but which require delivery by enema or a tube
down the digestive system. Scientists say the pills, which contain
filtered, healthy fecal matter, offer a cheap, convenient and
safer way to “make the medicine go down.”
*** and ***
In a small and preliminary trial, the pills cured the diarrhea
symptoms in 19 out of 20 people with mild to moderate C. difficile
infections. Each patient popped 30 of the pills over a two-day
period, and their bowel movements fell from a median of 5 per day
to 1 per day eight weeks later. Fourteen of the 20 patients were
cured after the first two-day treatment, and five others — sicker
than the rest — were cured after a second two-day, 30-pill
treatment.
Further, not a single participant showed adverse side effects due
to the pills. Researchers published their findings Saturday in the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
*** end quote ***
Disgusting? Yup. Practical? Yup. Saves lives? Cheap? Yup. Easy?
Yup!
So how will Big Pharma and the FDA keep this off the market?
Anyone, who has spent any time around old folks in hospitals or
nursing homes, knows how bad this infection is.
Makes everyone unhappy. And, sometimes weakens and kills.
Infection control is … cumbersome. And, this isn’t Ebola, but it
runs through hospitals and nursing homes like a wildfire.
My sainted aunt had it three or four times. It made her
embarrassed, uncomfortable, and miserable.
(She’d have never taken the pills if she knew what was in it. But,
I’d have looked her right in the eye and lied like a politician
running for reelection!)
Argh!
Hope this gets a speedy approval.

In Memory of
James Frederick Wortman
March 7, 1940 - November 13, 2014
Obituary
James "Jim" Frederick Wortman, 74, of League City passed away on Thursday, November 13, 2014.
Jim was born on March 7, 1940 in New York City as the only child of the late Frederick and Mary Wortman. Jim graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Physical Education from Manhattan College in New York City and a Master's degree in Education from Temple University in Philadelphia.
Jim was a true family man who knew the importance of education. He encouraged and supported all of his children to achieve their educational goals. This support was apparent in his children achieving success in the banking, accounting, hospitality and biology industries.
When he wasn't working, Jim loved to travel. Jim's expertise in the casino gaming industry provided him the opportunity to travel to four continents. Jim's favorite travel destination was Germany where his mother was born. His second favorite location was France. For ten years, Jim escorted students from the University of Houston, to France to experience the culture and study the casino and hospitality industry in Europe.
Jim served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Air Force between 1962 and 1964. After leaving the service he took a position with the Vinland, NJ YMCA as their athletic director. During the mid-1970's he moved into the field of education as a faculty member and then the Athletic Director at Atlantic Community College in Mays Landing, NJ. This was the beginning of a long career in higher education. In the 1980's the casino industry came to Atlantic City where Jim took a job as a dealer and quickly moved up to the position of Casino Administrator at several casinos. Jim was asked to return to Atlantic Community College as the Director of the Casino Career Institute. The years spent in the casino industry made him a valuable addition to the Conrad Hilton College where he spent the last eighteen years of his career teaching casino gaming and hospitality.
Jim is survived by his loving wife Janet Wortman of League City, and five children; Steven Wortman and fiancé Cheryl Gmuer of Dover DE; Kim Brownell and husband David of Deptford, NJ; Jennifer McDermott and husband Garrison of Ocean City, NJ; Christine Garland and husband Mark of Egg Harbor Township, NJ; and Joy Tucci and husband Paul of Galloway, NJ. He is also survived by five grandchildren; Blake and Zachary Bickford of Temecula, CA; Christian McDermott of Ocean City, NJ; and Johnathan and Matthew Garland of Egg Harbor Township, NJ.
A viewing will be held at Forest Part East Funeral Home in Webster, TX between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 followed by a graveside service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation be made to the Conrad Hilton College at the University of Houston.

Thomas A. Twomey, 68
by Denise Civiletti Nov 17, 2014, 1:09 pm
Print Friendly
Thomas A. Twomey, founding partner of the Riverhead law firm Twomey, Latham, Shea, Kelley, Dubin and Quartararo died suddenly on Sunday. He was 68 years old.
The cause was a heart attack, said his law partner of 37 years, Steve Latham.
Twomey lived in East Hampton and was married to former East Hampton town supervisor Judith Hope.
The son of a New York City police detective, his love of Eastern Long Island began with summers spent vacationing with his family in Mattituck. A graduate of Manhattan College, Twomey put himself through University of Virginia and Columbia law schools selling kitchen knives.
Twomey was instrumental in the passage of the landmark Suffolk County farmland preservation program in 1975 and later on, as the chairman of Gov. Cuomo’s East End Economic and Environmental Institute, in extending farmland preservation through all of New York State with the passage of the state farmland preservation program. His other accomplishments on that commission included increased state support for the local tourist and wine industries as well as the recreational needs of the East End.
Twomey represented a group of local farmers opposed to the Long Island Lighting Company’s proposal to build four nuclear power plants in Jamesport. He built a broad, statewide coalition of environmental, civic and political groups in opposition to the Jamesport plants and ultimately to the Shoreham nuclear power plant, all of which were defeated.
He currently served as chairman of the East Hampton Library trustees and on the executive committee of Guild Hall Cultural Center. He was also counsel to the L.I. Farm Bureau, which honored Twomey as “Citizen of the Year” in 2002.

Lou Jones
1932-2006
Teacher, coach, Olympic athlete
A talented high school and college athlete, Lou Jones set two world track records and was part of a gold medal winning Olympic relay team in 1956. He was also a devoted family man who raised his children, coached, and taught high school and college in the town where he was born.
Louis Woodard Jones III was born on January 15, 1932, in New Rochelle, New York, a small suburban town just north of New York City. He graduated from New Rochelle High School in 1950, then went south to attend New York's Manhattan College. In college, he studied business administration and became a star member of the track team, becoming the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America (IC4A) champion in the 440-yard race in his senior year.
After graduating from college in 1954, Jones entered the U.S. Army. He continued to run track throughout his military career, and it was while he was in the Army in 1955 that he broke his first record. That year, Jones participated as part of the U.S. team in the Pan American Games, held that year in Mexico City. Begun in 1951, the Pan American (or Pan Am) Games is an amateur sports competition among the nations of North, Central, and South America. Like the Olympics, the Pan Am Games occur every four years in a different city and include a wide variety of sporting events.

Ruben Carbonell ’69 Elected to the National Academy of Engineering
The College will honor Carbonell on Monday, Nov. 24 with a plaque unveiling ceremony.
On Monday, Nov. 24, Manhattan College will honor Ruben Carbonell ’69 for his election to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) earlier this year. Carbonell will deliver a lecture and the College’s School of Engineering will celebrate his accomplishments with a plaque unveiling ceremony in the William J. Scala Academy Room in Leo Hall.
“Dr. Ruben Carbonell joins a prestigious group of Manhattan College alumni with his election to the NAE,” said Tim J. Ward, Ph.D., P.E., dean of the School of Engineering. “We are privileged to be able to recognize his accomplishments with the dedication of his plaque in the Scala Academy Room, and we congratulate him on this latest honor.”
As the Frank Hawkins Kenan Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University, Carbonell was cited by the NAE for “research and innovation in multiphase reactor design, high-pressure thin-film coating, and novel bioseparation processes.”
Carbonell’s work was instrumental in identifying specific ligands for the removal of the prion protein that is responsible for variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, better known as Mad Cow Disease, in humans. He led the development of a process for making a novel adsorptive filter to be used for the removal of prion protein from human blood during transfusions. One of these ligands is also being used to reduce the risk of prion transmission during intravenous injections of therapeutics such as antibodies derived from pooled human plasma.
“I feel very humbled and honored to be recognized by being elected into the National Academy of Engineering,” Carbonell said. “There are many individuals, students, collaborators, teachers and colleagues that played key roles in my success and I am extremely grateful for their contributions to any accomplishments I have been able to achieve.”
Carbonell is a fellow of both the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society. His numerous awards at NC State include the Alexander Quarles Holladay Medal for Excellence at NC State, the highest award given to university faculty. He has published more than 230 papers, holds 30-plus patents, and is co-founder of two company startups.
Carbonell earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Manhattan College in 1969, and a Master's degree and a doctorate degree from Princeton University. He spent 10 years in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Davis, before joining the NC State faculty in 1984.

Should Criminal Records Be on College Applications?
Posted on November 21, 2014 by Jaclyn Marr
*** begin quote ***
“We honor and respect the dignity of all individuals. Our mission of service, on and off campus, stems from the belief that all human beings deserve basic dignity. We eagerly explore new communities and different ways of thinking and being in order to cultivate a truly global perspective,” according to the MC website.
If MC is “diverse in backgrounds, interests, talents, beliefs and opinions,” then shouldn’t we accept students and give those who need one a second chance? One mistake should not mess up the rest of a student’s future, especially one who wants and works toward getting into a college.
Another point highlighted on the college’s website is our inclusive community. It repeats our welcoming of diversity and a lively community. “Manhattan College is passionately committed to policies of non-discrimination and we actively encourage an open-minded staff and student body. We’re committed to civil rights and freedom of expression for all people.”
With Lasallian values being an important factor at our school, it would be best for Manhattan College to also remove the criminal record question from our application. It will prove that we are in fact Lasallian and that we welcome diverse students to our school.
*** end quote ***
Interesting question.
I’m conflicted.
That fact may have a being on the acceptablility of the applicant. And, even if the applicant is “acceptable”, it maybe a differentiator (i.e., all things being equal shouldn’t the nod go to person with a clean record).
Choices have consequences.

Celtic Aer Gift Shop opened for business in the Fall of 2010. We are conveniently located on the sunny southwest corner of Route 6 and Strawberry Road in Mohegan Lake (Yorktown), NY, and we're here year round to fulfill your every Irish need! Most of our items are made in Ireland or in the U.S.A. From Celtic jewelry to Irish pottery to Aran Sweaters, we carry the traditional to the more modern of Irish imports. Or if it's Irish food you're craving, we've grown from Irish tea and candy to bacon, sausages, puddings, and much more!
About our Irish-import Shop
It would be impossible to count the amount of times Ashley heard, "With that hair, you must be Irish!" Growing up as a redhead, people were always reminding her of her heritage with such charisma. Like all the Irish and Irish Americans, she is very proud of her roots and the breath-taking beauty of the Emerald Isle. In 2010, Ashley opened Celtic Aer Gift Shop, with many unique Irish and Celtic imports in stock.
As for the living, breathing Irish import: her Dad, Patrick, is always busy movin'-and-a-shakin' (and -a whistlin') around here somewhere. He's been on this very corner of Route 6 and Strawberry Road since 1992, when he opened Celtic Farms & Nursery. Located right next door, you'll find many seasonal offerings, such as plants, shrubs, pumpkins, Christmas trees, as well as sheds, barns, garages and gazebos. So if an authentic brogue is what you're looking for, then you'll always find it here.
