good question I bet most folks would not even know. If some doctor along the line doesn't investigate the possibility.
I've had MRI of that area to see what was going on with my neck--but all I found out was what was going on with my neck. If anything else was wrong-- I would probably have had to get another MRI-- the way things are these days-- if you don't ask the x-act right question-- you are out of luck.
You do know that there are some docs out there that say they can cure your FM by fixing your Chiari Malformation, don't you?
It's when the spine high in your neck is pressing on the spinal chord. It is correctable surgically.
Whether it can cure FM or not is another question. SOME people with FM have this problem. But no one (not even the docs that swear by the operation) can claim it would make all of us suddenly be FM free.
It's one of those gray areas. No one is claiming these surgeons are quacks, but not too many neuros or rheumys are sending their patients in for the surgery either.
But wouldn't it be nice?
As far as the other symptoms, I.e.-nausea, joint pain, fibromyalgia, exhaustion, burning and tingling in my hands& feet, etc- those symptoms have actually worsened over the last 12 years post surgery.
My insurance company won't authorize an MRI because they want proof that I have a Chiari.
The surgery is a band-aid, not a cure, but because drs keep Saying it's a cure, it causes patients like me problems.
There is No Cure for ACM=Arnold Chiari Malformation.
Any doc who says that there is a cure for a chiari I being disingenuous.
Prior to being dianosed at age 33, I'd been tested for every possible problem that the drs I had to yell at to even get them to listen, could think of.
I've had 7 separate emg tests, 10 eegs, x-rays, everything except an MRI.
Once I finally had the MRI I was lucky to have a connection at University of PA hospital and medical center, had I not had a brother working there in nuero-radiology, I'd have had another 18 to 26 month wait to be seen by just a neurologist.
Our medical system is a mess. Not that anyone in our government has or will in the future, come up with a decent plan for fixing it...
As a Chiari patient I'm supposed to have an MRI at least every year because the shift of my brain stem could very well happen again.
The ins won't approve it because I've been "cured" already.
This fluid is called a residual syrinx post surgery, and I've been told by drs and other zipper-heads (that's what we ACM patients call each other-because of the scar we each have from th top of our heads down to or shoulders) that the syrinxes are never That bad, but it's different for everyone and mine is big enough to make the few neuro-docs I've seen suck in air or swear upon seeing my past MRIs.
If no one you know well has ACM, then you should thank the higher powers in your life for that blessing.
It is part of spina bifida.
www.asap.org is a good site if you're curious about ACM.
Also www.conquerchiari.org
Just remember that some of the pictures only show the simplified symptoms.
My brain stem had slipped 26 centimeters out of my skull...
If the fibromyalgia would just ease up, I could live with the rest.
I will add you to my prayer list.
God Bless!
Thank you so much.
It's been rough lately.
His statements led me to believe that surgery is the last thing he would do. Cracking open the Fossa Ovale (the hole in your skull) and enlarging it was not to be taken lightly. He didn't give us a cure...but she had MS in the mix too.
She dealt with alot of it with Neurontin. We did meet another RN who also had this and had the surgery with quite a bit of benefit. Still not able to work though.
My friend worked up to the point she was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and that was her demise.
This was my BFF for life....we had envisioned teaching painting in the nursing home together..... Didn't happen.
All the docs know there is no cure for most, just better. We aim for symptom relief. be careful in what you change in your body and be educated to move forward. There are times you have to take chances though and you pray that it was a good move.
Good luck in this...NancyB
P.S: Our symptoms weren't to similar to confuse her with me. Though she would say..I bet you have MS and no one has found it yet.....(I don't have MS, I have Chronic Myofascial Pain with trigger points). THAT is what is wrong with me.....
Good luck.
My husband is just starting to admit to having the same trigger points which are caused by fibromyalgia. He has degenerative disc disease, a small "gift" from the wonderful man who Was his own father. His father's spine was so damaged and he was in So much pain that the drs in Florida completely missed bone cancer, which moved on and became kidney, liver, lung, pancreatic and finally brain cancers... He held out for 5 months post diagnosis just to get to see as many of his 3 sons, and at the time 7 grand children, plus as many of the now 27 great and great-great grand children that he could, once we got him flown back to P.A. then, he just fell asleep and didn't have pain anymore.
I've been told for 11 years that there is no "medical" reason for my ability to walk or even to be alive but while my own child, who's 23yrs, still needs me, I'll just have to keep going...
Blessings to you and to all those who are important in your life and thank you so much for sharing Your own life with me.
P.S. My daughter, Stephani, will be graduating from college as a nurse in December, 10 days after her birthday. We're poor since I haven't been able to work the 4 to 5 jobs that I used to, so it's taken her a little longer, but she's stubborn and determined to succeed-like both of her parents

BETHEL, Ohio - An 8-year-old boy had a run-in with the law Friday morning after he took his parents' minivan for a ride.
Jordan Winters took the 2003 Dodge Caravan from their home in Bethel, Ohio just before 9 a.m. and crashed it about 100 yards away, according to a traffic report.
The minivan missed hitting a telephone pole by about a yard.
Jordan said his parents were asleep and he thought it would be a good idea to put gas in the vehicle, so he said he grabbed his mom's purse and keys, started the minivan, pulled out of the driveway and drove onto state Route 133.
Jordan said he never drove faster than 10 mph and was only going about 5 mph when he crashed.
"I kept on headed toward the ditch, so I had to turn and then I crashed. I almost crashed into the telephone pole," Jordan said as he sat in the front seat of the minivan.
James Crouch, Winters' father, said he didn't even know his son was gone until officers came knocking at his door.
He said his son has never done anything like this before and that he was only trying to do his parents a favor.
"He wanted to get gas in the van for us, be nice," said Crouch. "He was still in his jammies."
Crouch said police did not cite his son because it was only his first moving violation.
As for Jordan, he said he's learned his lesson.
"Never to drive unless you're 16," he said.

For The Register-Herald
Richard Jarrell received the Spirit of Philanthropy award for volunteer service at the 2012 Annual Conference of West Virginia Grantmakers earlier this month at the Blennerhassett Hotel in Parkersburg.
Member organizations from all over the Mountain State can submit nominations for this award. Jarrell was nominated by the Beckley Area Foundation. He is a successful local civic leader, community volunteer and businessman, operating two area Chick-fil-A franchises.
Jarrell has served on the BAF Distributions Committee for a number of years, chairs the current United Way Campaign, is an elected member of the Ra-leigh County Board of Education and serves on the boards of Raleigh General Hospital, the Raleigh County Public Library, the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center and the Beckley-Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce.
"Richard fits the stereotype of a person who is driven to be the best in his career field," noted Susan Landis, executive director of BAF. "However, he also makes time to contribute to his community in very meaningful ways.
"He approaches every challenge, every task with enthusiasm and optimism. This is infectious," added Landis. "Each challenge is approached with the attitude that we can work together, find fun and satisfaction while accomplishing the work, and never rest on our laurels."
Noteworthy among Jarrell's gifts to our community are the creation of the Jarrell Family Fund at BAF, his participation in "Dancing with the Stars" to raise funds for United Way and the addition of the "Festival of Trees" as a much-anticipated annual event.
In presenting the award, Sharon Lilly, BAF program director, commented, "Successful people share a number of traits. They are energetic, creative, passionate, determined and dedicated. Richard Jarrell possesses all of these characteristics and selflessly donates time, talent and treasury to our community.
"However, Richard also possesses a unique trait. When an individual or group interacts with him, he is able to convey a deep belief that you and your interests matter. He then moves to encourage and help you accomplish your goal."

Quote:Personally I'm really excited by this APM doublet. I've an old AP 6" F9 "blue tube" triplet that I just love and I paid for it right around what the APM is going for. It performs wonderfully and the differences between it and my APM 6" F8 triplet are rather subtle at focus. If I can get better performance than the old AP in a cheaper, lighter weight, shorter doublet, well....duh.
Quote:No one has done a comparison with an istar R30 and a similar C F achromat.
Quote:I guess at least folks are not still claiming they use the same glass as normal F2 BAK 7 fraunhofer achromats.
Quote:This thread a little bit feels like a vendor bashing toward ISTAR R30 telescopes even though the thread has many useful information.I don't see much detail about the comparison done by Valery. Also I'm not sure Valery is a owner of ISTAR's competitor.I don't own any ISTAR telescope but this thread seems to be able to really damage business of ISTAR and we need more data to start this type of thread especially against particular brand of scopes.I looked at spot diagram of TSA-102. http://www.takahashi-europe.com/en/TSA-102.optics.spots.htm TSA-102 has much tighter focus on the blue end but FS-102 is much tighter on the red end.Does it mean FS-102 is really that much better on Jupiter or Mars?I both owned FS-102 and TSA-102 but the answer was no for my case even though the view was so close.I'm not an expert on optics and this thread just feels unfair for ISTAR in particular.
Quote:....... I am no longer in a position to offer my personal experience in trying to verify this theory as if I report anything other than a positive result to the the product, my results will be considered biased.........
Quote:Dear Gord,
size of the Classic Achro blur is approx. 100 while size of the R30 is approx. 40. Im no longer sure if we are looking at same diagrams here. Im leaving Europe next week, very busy, but once I have more time upon my arrival from US and Asia I will post some detailed info on this subject. Thank you for your patience,

Here are five essential tips for a first-time homebuyer
After you determine your home buying budget, think about where you want to live. Are you going to stay in your current neighborhood, or do you want to start fresh?
With the first-time homebuyer federal income tax credit currently in effect, now is the perfect time to consider making that big purchase, your first home.
"Buying a home is one of the biggest financial commitments a person can make, but first-time homebuyers and qualified return buyers are in an ideal position to take advantage of unique opportunities in the market, such as low interest rates and the choice among an abundance of for sale homes," said Charlie Young, president for ERA Real Estate.
But before you sign on the dotted line, here are some helpful tips to ease the transition into homeownership.
1. Learn about the first-time homebuyer federal income tax credit.
If you are considering purchasing your first home, or have not owned for at least three years, learn the parameters of the temporary first-time homebuyer tax credit, which is one of 10 provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act signed into law Feb. 17.
According to FederalHousingTaxCredit.com—a consumer Web site created by the National Association of Home Builders—for those who qualify and purchase before Dec. 1, 2009, the bill provides a tax credit of up to $8,000, calculated at 10 percent of the purchase price.
Unlike the previously available credit from 2008, the money does not have to be repaid, as long as the homebuyer does not resell the house for at least three years.
"The tax credit can help make the American dream of homeownership a reality for potential buyers who previously could not afford it," Young said.
He adds that potential homebuyers should consult with a professional tax adviser for full details on how the tax credit may benefit them.
2. Calculate what you can afford
Before you start searching for your new home, know what you can afford. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, your total monthly mortgage payment—which includes principal, interest, taxes and insurance—should be about 29 percent of your monthly gross income.
What you can afford is also based on, among other things, how large of a down payment you can make and how much money you can borrow.
You can start estimating this figure by using an affordability or loan calculator found on the Internet. These calculators can help compute what may fit comfortably within your budget based on factors such as annual income, annual debts, interest rates and credit score.
Though Internet calculators and statistics are good references, it is recommended that you consult a financial adviser to determine exactly how much you can afford.
3. Choose a neighborhood.
After you determine your home buying budget, think about where you want to live. Are you going to stay in your current neighborhood, or do you want to hit the open road and start fresh?
No matter what, you should thoroughly research the demographics of the area.
Some additional factors to consider are how far you will be from work and shopping—and if you have children, do some careful research on schools.
4. Make a wish list of needs and wants.
Early in the home-searching process, list your basic needs, such as minimum square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, location and, of course, the price you can afford.
Web sites of leading real estate brands should have guided property searches that allow you to choose one or more of these criteria.
If there are features that you would love to have in your home, but could live without, put them on your "want" list. This includes things like a pool, big yard and extra bedroom.
5. Work with an experienced real estate professional.
Searching for and purchasing your first home is exciting, but it can be overwhelming. To help each step in the home buying process run smoothly, consider working with a seasoned real estate professional.
Choosing a professional who is knowledgeable in your local and national markets, has access to the newest listings, and can help you negotiate prices, will increase the chances of finding your dream home.

In the Matrix of Mobile, Linux Is Zion
In mobile we are losing the free world called the Web and the Net. How do we save it?
Already most of us spend more time on mobile devices than we do on desktops and laptops, put together. We also can do a lot more stuff, in a lot more places, on mobile devices than on computers. There were more than a million iOS apps on the shelves of Apple's store in October 2013, and I'm guessing there are at least that many Android apps on Google's shelves by now.
Meanwhile, app development on computers is slacking off—so is Web development, except as required to accessorize mobile apps. And on mobile devices, use of the Web is fading as well. According to Flurry Analytics, the Web's share of mobile use dropped from 20% in 2013 to 14% in 2014. In "The Decline of the Mobile Web", Chris Dixon writes:
This is a worrisome trend for the web. Mobile is the future. What wins mobile, wins the Internet. Right now, apps are winning and the web is losing.
Moreover, there are signs that it will only get worse. Ask any web company and they will tell you that they value app users more than web users. This is why you see so many popups and banners on mobile websites that try to get you to download apps. It is also why so many mobile websites are broken. Resources are going to app development over web development. As the mobile web UX further deteriorates, the momentum toward apps will only increase.
The likely end state is the web becomes a niche product used for things like 1) trying a service before you download the app, 2) consuming long tail content (e.g., link to a niche blog from Twitter or Facebook feed).
He sees an end state that "will probably be like cable TV—a few dominant channels/apps that sit on users' home screens and everything else relegated to lower tiers or irrelevance".
Those millions of apps are a forest of silos, growing on land that is privately owned or controlled by Apple, Google and Microsoft. Out on the streets, plains and hills of the civilized world, network connections are also provided by mobile phone companies, whose own silos are walled by usage limits and by tariffs at national borders.
Underneath it all, the Internet is getting harder and harder to see, understand and appreciate. Already mobile operators in India are offering free or cheaper plans just for Facebook, Whatsapp and Twitter. To those operators, network neutrality means nothing. In fact, it never did, to any of the big operators. When he was Chief Scientist at BT, JP Rangaswami said the core competence of phone companies is billing, not communications.
"Winning the Internet" should be absurd on its face, like "winning" sunlight or weather. But it isn't in mobile, which already has turned into a giant Truman Show. Inside that show, small app developers become suburbs of large ones—for example, by requiring logins through Facebook or Twitter, rather than using an identity from the open world, such as an e-mail address. That's the case with Shazam, a handy mobile app you can use to identify the music you hear. But if you want to see the music you've "tagged" with Shazam on the company's Web site, the only way to log in is through Facebook. As for getting that data back out, good luck.
Even apps that do let you have your data back also make the process costly or difficult. Fitbit will give you XLS and CSV data, but only with a "premium" subscription of $49.99/year. To get personal data gathered by Nike+ devices and apps, you'll need an external hack, such as fuel_dump. Integrating that data is also a steep challenge. Some app developers will partner with other companies or open their APIs to allow data to flow between apps, but integrating personal data gathered by mobile apps on a personal computer requires real wizardry. The Muggles won't bother.
There are exceptions though. My favorite is Moves, a $2.99 app from Finland that produces an "activity diary" of your walking, running, cycling and riding around in the world. Its Web site kindly provides data exports in CSV, GEOSON, GEORSS, GPX, ICAL, JSONKML and KML_GE. Within those are Activities, Places and Storyline. The only loophole in its otherwise respectful privacy policy is one that lets your data go to a third party if that party buys the company. Still, privacy laws are much stronger in Europe than in most other places, especially the US.*
Many ordinary activities that are open in the physical world are now silo'd in the virtual one. Take reading books, for example. Buy a hardcover or paperback book, and it's yours. You can pull it off your shelf and read it without any company intermediating the process or telling you what you can and can't do. This is not the case with most electronic books, which can be read only on proprietary machines using proprietary software, both of which are mostly Amazon's. My wife just got a new Kindle Fire, as a gift from the airline she's flown for more than two million miles. It's a nice gift, but using it feels like you're on an Amazon cruise ship with portholes looking out to the open world.
Even listening to radio on-line is an ordeal compared to what we had when stations could be found on radio dials. Although there are apps—TuneIn and Wunderadio—that try to replicate the dials of old (and it's not easy, given the vast numbers of stations streaming in the world), station owners feel the need to create an app for their own stations, or for fleets of them, to the exclusion of others. This is what Clear Channel does with iHeartRadio. It's a "dial" mostly of its own stations. To it, as to other large operators in the virtual world, the infrastructure that matters isn't the public stuff that's open and ownerless—such as the Net, the Web and e-mail—but what's private and controlled by companies with which deals can be done.
For example, right now at the top of the stream of tweets I see on Twitter is a "promoted" link—an ad—from Sprinklr. The tweet says, "FREE eBook: Without Infrastructure, You Can't Be Social". The link goes to a page about "The Rise of Social Experience Management", explained in a free eBook that requires giving up a bunch of personal data so you can become a qualified lead for whatever it is that Sprinklr sells. Note that the "infrastructure" is theirs. Not the Net's. Not the Web's. Not any space we all share. Just their space, which they own and charge rent to use.
Nowhere is mobile infrastructure more locked down and controlled than with the app stores. These completely private marketplaces are monopolies to mobile customers and monopsonies to app companies. As sole intermediaries, the stores get to charge what they want, which is a lot. Apple and Google both take 30% of what you pay for an app. So does Microsoft, but it drops its cut to 20% after sales of an app reach $25k. These are monopoly rents. Ask your shoe or grocery store what kind of margins it gets—or hell, even Amazon.
I believe the only answer is to equip ordinary individuals (Muggles, not just wizards like us) with independent tools for integrating and managing data and services—and better ways to exercise their autonomy, independence, freedom and agency in the world. I don't see any other way to break out of the Matrix that the mobile world is becoming.
We need to start with general-purpose devices on which we can run anything we want. We still have that with some computers, but we don't with our mobile devices. There, with no meaningful exceptions, we are still vassals of Apple, Google and Microsoft.
Fortunately, Android is a breed of Linux. In the Matrix of mobile, Linux is Zion.
Wake up, Neo._______________

Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Green Commitment Infuses Every Facet of University of Phoenix Life
Published in The Chronicle of Higher Education
For many organizations, "going green" seems more a public relations campaign than a cultural commitment to change. But, for the University of Phoenix, "going green" reaches far beyond a simple slogan. Across the institution, quiet yet sustained action abounds in place of mere words, and has made the school one of the greenest in higher education.
It all began with a shovel and a statement on the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970. University of Phoenix founder, John Sperling, then a professor of humanities at San Jose State University, marked the occasion by leading a group of students to a local auto dealership, purchasing a car, pushing it back to campus, then burying it— an unmistakable declaration of support, and one less resource-guzzling vehicle polluting the air.
More than thirty years later, Sperling's dedication to the environment remains as strong as ever, and has become an inseparable part of university life. From internal employee education programs to outward-facing community projects, the school has pursued a range of nationwide initiatives that have made it a leader in the environmental movement in higher education— a position powered by the school's more than 350,000 students and 50,000 staff and faculty enlisted in the effort. Says Bill Pepicello, university president, "We recognize our responsibility to take care of the Earth for ourselves and future generations and we understand our role in providing education and outreach to encourage sustainability of the natural resources we all share. And our green initiatives are the fulfillment of our commitment to a better environment."
The university's new administrative complex in Phoenix, Arizona, embodies that commitment, built from a sustainable design that eases environmental impact. Facilities are oriented to maximize sunlight, lessening reliance on artificial lamps— with energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs switched on only when needed. Under-floor air distribution allows occupants to control their own thermal comfort, decreasing power usage and increasing efficiency. Low-flow plumbing conserves water. Even the disposable coffee cups in the breakrooms are eco-friendly, made from biodegradable corn.
To power the buildings, the university became the largest institutional purchaser of renewable energy in Arizona history—with local provider Salt River Project delivering 46.5 million kilowatt-hours of wind-turbine generated electricity throughout the complex. The university's purchase matches the amount of energy required to power 100 percent of its Phoenix facilities—or 27 percent of its more than 100 learning centers—the equivalent of electrifying 3,800 homes or eliminating the carbon dioxide emissions of more than 5,280 cars per year. As a result, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has ranked the university among the top-ten greenest energy users in all of academe.
That concern for conservation and sustainable design is spread throughout the university's nationwide network of campuses. Recently, in Meridian, Idaho, the school broke ground on a new center that is the first non-government, nonresidential building in the state to be awarded Silver Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The use of regionally produced recycled building products, energy-efficient technology, water-conserving landscaping—even recharging stations for electric cars—makes the center the prototype for other green campuses within the university system. Moreover, notes Pepicello, the Idaho center has become a model not only for the school, but the community as well. "Through our actions we hope to become an environmental leader in those places where we have a presence," he says. "It's a way for us to give back to the communities we work so closely with."
Brick-and-mortar solutions are important, explains Ayla Dickey, vice president of public affairs and social responsibility, but changing people's behaviors can have an even greater impact. Staff and faculty are encouraged to join the cause through a multi-faceted internal communications program created to raise awareness and provide tools for adopting long-term living practices. Among the components of the internally focused "Go Green" campaign is an online tutorial developed to illuminate environmental problems and encourage employees to become part of the solution; a companion website offers practical tips that can be immediately applied. "Movements succeed when people are emotionally engaged," says Dickey. "And key to our internal initiative was to foster in our employees a desire not only to be good environmental stewards, but to carry that imperative into their personal lives. When you engage people in such a way, the chances of success are multiplied."
At each campus, "green captains" coordinate local efforts, negotiating the purchase of environmentally friendly products, powering down computers when not in use, and recycling every possible article. And with the administration's aid, staff and students from Plantation, Florida, to San Bernardino, California, have staged "Green Expos," providing public venues for environmentally conscious groups to share practices and promote green technologies. Says Dickey, "With the size of our student population, the number of faculty members and employees, and our presence in hundreds of communities, our possibilities for creating positive change are endless."
Students are encouraged to get involved both personally and professionally, including career choices. "We see the greening of America as a growing sector of the economy," says Pepicello, "and have created a range of offerings aimed at preparing our students for green careers." A new bachelor of science in business is built around green and sustainable enterprise management, emphasizing social responsibility and corporate action. In addition, the school has created an MBA program with a specialization in energy management, and offers a bachelor of science in environmental science. Meanwhile, environmental ethics courses guide students in a closer examination of the effects of behavior on ecology. And a program in photovoltaic (PV) installation helps workers prepare for the PV installer certification exam, and to take advantage of a burgeoning solar energy market.
Partnerships for Environmental Progress
The university's green initiatives are not isolated events in academe; a recent study by the Association for Information Communications Technology Professionals in Higher Education revealed that two-thirds of member colleges and universities were deploying green technologies to save energy and aid the environment. Chief among the enumerated actions was developing distance learning and online education programs, thereby reducing resource consumption and carbon emissions engendered by commuters, as well as decreasing the attendant need to power additional on-campus classrooms.
If online learning is regarded as a key green practice, then the University of Phoenix has been the leading proponent for 20 years, launching the nation's first online degree programs in 1989. Moreover, the school's movement to a paperless institution, beginning with the debut of the University Library Online Collection in 1995, followed in 2001 by a sweeping project resulting in the digitization of all course learning materials, has saved innumerable trees, lessened landfill waste, and conserved the energy expended in producing traditional, paper-bound texts. "We know that digital materials don't eliminate printing onto paper, but with improved digital reading devices, and by fostering a culture of environmental awareness, we're headed in the right direction," says Pepicello.
Today, partnerships with outside organizations are enlarging the university's efforts. Whether it's giving K-12 schools a "green makeover" with Earth Day Network or being a national sponsor of Keep America Beautiful's Great American Cleanup campaign, the university is devoting considerable resources in support of nationwide environmental action—and in the pursuit of new studies and applications of sustainable green technologies.
Recently, University of Phoenix and University of Arizona's Research Institute for Solar Energy (AzRISE) have joined forces to create a global institute focused on the development and demonstration of practical solar technology. "We're helping to build a dynamic center where researchers and concerned citizens alike can come together to advance the solar effort," says Dickey. Already, students at the center are investing new knowledge in events such as the American Solar Challenge, a competition to design, build and race solar-powered cars, and the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon, an international exposition displaying the latest developments in energy-efficient, fully solar-powered homes.
"Our support for this cutting-edge institute brings a solid research component to our efforts," added Pepicello. "And through this and other partnerships, we hope to educate, inspire and drive students to become dedicated stewards of our environment, both today and tomorrow."

Now that your practice has spent time laying the groundwork for a PFAC, your PFAC launch team is ready to reach out to patients and families. Your next steps depend on what PFAC model your practice has decided is right for you:
Representatives from Holyoke Pediatric Associates and South County Pediatrics, two practices participating in NICHQ's CHIPRA Massachusetts Medical Home Initiative, share some tips and suggestions for creating a Patient and Family Advisory Council (PFAC). Source: https://vimeo.com/62279415

Recruitment Fundamentals: Creating a PFAC that Represents the Voices of Your Entire Practice
Regardless of your PFAC structure, several fundamental principles apply when it comes to recruitment of PFAC members. Since the essential function of the PFAC is to provide feedback, it's critical that you make every effort to include patients and family members who represent your entire practice.
Who can be a member of your PFAC? It sounds like a simple question, but it's more complicated than it seems.
Parents are likely to join. But what about guardians, like grandparents and foster parents? How about caregivers who may not be legal guardians but who are allies of your patients? They might have insights to share, too. Letting families define themselves ensures that all perspectives are included. Former patients and families who have aged out of your practice can also provide valuable feedback.
What about your young adult and youth patients? Will you engage them? You could set aside one PFAC meeting to focus on teen perspectives. Some practices create special Teen PFACs to ensure that their voices are heard. MultiCare Health System's Mary Bridge Teen Partnership Council and Boston Children's Hospital's Teen Advisory Committee are two examples. Giving younger patients opportunities to give feedback through youth-friendly feedback surveys, like a simple postcard, is a wonderful way to encourage engagement from a young age and raise your future PFAC members!
Staff who are also patients/families have a unique vantage point and can be invited to join PFACs. However, it can be difficult for them to share negative feedback about the practice in front of patients and families. Special consideration should be given to their participation.
Too many staff members present in general can also affect the dynamic of the PFAC. Try to maintain a ratio of no more than one staff person to every two to three patients/family members. If staff people want to attend the meetings and there is a risk that staff will outnumber patients/family members, it may make sense to limit staff attendance to the portions of the meeting most relevant to their role. Many PFACs require that more than 50 percent of the membership be held by non-staff patients and families.
Recruiting a PFAC membership that reflects the diversity of your entire practices takes effort. There are many types of diversity, including gender, race, culture/heritage, age (of patients and of family members), language, socio-economic background, disease or disability, family structure and sexual orientation.
Here are some ideas for encouraging diversity as you recruit PFAC members:
Back to Top
Clarifying PFAC Membership Expectations
Understand your expectations of commitment before you start asking. Clearly communicating expectations can help avoid unnecessary conflict and confusion. For example, a document similar to a job description outlining the following points can help both your practice and the applicants.
Use this list to clarify what you're asking of members. The document outlining membership expectations should contain the following:
There are a number of leadership and collaboration skills that have been identified as crucial to success on advisory councils. Here are a few qualities and skills of patient and family advisors identified by the Institute for Patient and Family-Centered Care [source]:
Seek individuals and families who are able to ...
Back to Top
Recruitment Planning
Whether you're trying to recruit patients and families to apply for formal PFAC membership or to simply attend an open PFAC meeting, you need to get the word out.
As a team, brainstorm on all the possible ways you can invite patients and families to join in on PFAC activities. Using multiple outreach techniques will ensure that your message reaches a wider audience.
Here are some recruitment materials, samples and templates that your practice may want to use.
In-person meetings are an effective way to get to know the patients and families interested in joining your PFAC. It's a chance to explore the values, needs and skills of both you and the interested patients and families. Every meeting is a chance to build relationships with patients and to have a conversation about what matters to them and how you can partner to make a difference. Use these meetings to confirm that patient/family members are a good match for your PFAC, to learn more about what might prevent them from engaging, and to identify what kind of training and support you will need to provide.
Organizing for Health's Recruitment Guide offers a rich framework for engaging in an exploratory dialogue with patient/family leaders around partnering in healthcare transformation. They recommend in-person meetings as the most effective way of getting to know your potential partners. They advise opening the meeting by sharing something meaningful about yourself, like what brings you to this work, as a way to invite an open conversation. Consider holding the meeting at a location like a coffee shop that is convenient to the patient/family member. Here are some adapted questions that can guide your meeting:
If your practice has decided on a formally structured PFAC, you will want to set aside time to recruit, interview, select and bring on board PFAC members before convening your first meeting.
For practices launching a more informal PFAC, you'll need to finalize certain details regarding your first meeting so that you can include the information on your invitation. The invitation checklist below is a list of things to consider when planning your first meeting.
Back to Top
PFAC Member Selection and Orientation
Some PFACs will benefit from formal and specific membership, and others may wish to be less formal and more open. There are advantages and disadvantages to each style.
Having a set team can foster relationship and commitment, but interviewing and selecting patients can feel uncomfortable if you're worried that turning people away will jeopardize the relationship between the patient/family and the care team. If your PFAC will only contain a limited number of members, let applicants know you will be choosing a cross section of families (age, disability, care team) at this time and that future opportunities will also be available.
You may realize through the informational meeting process that a particular person isn't the right person for the role. If candidates are not selected to serve on your PFAC, take the time to tell them and think about ways to engage them now or in the future. If the interview process helped you learn enough about the patients so that you can identify other ways that they can participate and contribute, share that with them. For example, you could put them in touch with a hospital or community committee or council or ask them to give feedback on a specific issue that they seem knowledgeable about. There may be a smaller project that they could work on that you would both feel good about, like Discovery Shopping or shadowing other patients during their visits to discover more about patients' experiences. (See this Walking in the Patient's Footsteps video for more information.)
"Walking in the Patient's Footsteps" is an innovative program that Dr. Shoma Stout started at the Revere Family Health Center in MA that allows a medical student to shadow a patient through their primary care visit to get a true sense of what the patient experience is. Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5vhYBVpZ4w
If you're not choosing PFAC members through a selection process, encourage interested family leaders to assess their own readiness using the self assessment questions in the article "Who You Gonna Call?".
Regardless of how members are selected, confirming membership in writing is an opportunity to ensure the PFAC member's understanding of what he or she will be doing. Be sure to use simple, straightforward language. It can include:
Here is a sample membership agreement letter.
Your organization may have paperwork requirements for new volunteers and staff. Check with your human resources department, volunteer department or hospital PFAC liaison (if you have one) regarding these requirements. Those departments may also be able to help you in creating an orientation for new board members.
If you need to design an orientation yourself, consider including the following orientation components from the Institute for Patient and Family-Centered Care [source]:
In addition, you could also give new members a tour of the practice and introduce key staff. Most importantly, use orientation as an opportunity to show your gratitude for new member participation by creating a welcoming experience and creating a warm, hospitable environment.

College basketball takes a breather from its huge Saturday card with just 28 games combined on Sunday and Monday. Perhaps the schedule was manipulated to give everyone time to properly honor US Presidents on the Monday holiday in order to reflect on the men who've had extra-marital affairs with White House interns, resorted to break-ins of the opposing party's headquarters, waged wars on invisible weapons of mass destruction, and done their best to generally drive this great country down the drain in debt.
Speaking of character issues, one of Sunday's top matchups involves a team currently experiencing a bit of a roster crisis. The Big Ten clash between the Michigan State Spartans and Purdue Boilermakers will get underway from Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, IN at 1:00 p.m. (ET).
Purdue's task of upsetting No. 7 Michigan State will be made even more difficult after two key contributors to Matt Painter's team were suspended on Friday. Starting guard Kelsey Barlow has been dismissed from the team for the remainder of the season after he and teammate DJ Byrd were involved in an incident at a local bar. Byrd was arrested for public intoxication and suspended for Sunday's game.
The duo has combined to fill a little more than 40 minutes of court time per game for Painter to date, scoring over 16 points and grabbing 5.6 rebounds between them. Redshirt freshman Anthony Johnson (5.1 PPG) and true freshman Jacob Lawson (2.9 PPG) could see more time on the floor Sunday as a result.
Tom Izzo's Spartans enter the game playing about as well as any team in the country the past month. Michigan State has won six of its last seven, covering each of those victories, and taken out three ranked schools during the past four games (Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin).
The squads met in East Lansing about a month ago, and it was all MSU who rolled to an 83-58 rout as 8-point home favorites. Thanks to the Spartans' effort, the 'over' cashed for just the third time in the last nine meetings. Purdue has won and covered four of the last five played in West Lafayette, State's only victory in that span a 53-44 upset as 4-point 'dogs in Feb. 2010.
Sunday evening (6:00 p.m. ET) finds the No. 5 Duke Blue Devils up on Chestnut Hill for an ACC collision with the Boston College Eagles. The game pits teams heading in the opposite direction with Duke coming out on top in 10 of its last 12 while BC has dropped seven of eight.
Duke is flying high after yet another late rally this past Thursday. Trailing North Carolina State by 20 at home nearly midway through the second half, the Blue Devils stormed back for a 78-73 win as 10-point favorites. Sunday's challenge at Boston College is to avoid looking ahead to Thursday's battle down in Tallahassee vs. the Florida State Seminoles. Duke, FSU and North Carolina entered the weekend at the top of the ACC standings with 9-2 league records.
What hasn't been a challenge for the Blue Devils so far is playing on the road. Duke has won all five ACC games away from Durham this season, going 4-1 against the spread, and leads this series with a 13-2 all-time record. Boston College has covered four of the last five played at Conte Forum, including an 80-74 outright win as a 7½-point underdog in Feb. 2009.
Looking ahead to Monday, ESPN will broadcast a doubleheader that tips with a pair of struggling Big East teams at 7:00 p.m. (ET) when the Connecticut Huskies visit the Villanova Wildcats. Both teams were at home for Saturday tilts that were still pending at press. The Huskies were laying 2½-3 points against Marquette and the Wildcats were 2-point underdogs vs. Notre Dame.
It's been a trying season for both UConn and 'Nova who started the weekend in the bottom half of the conference standings. Connecticut (16-9 overall) stood just 6-7 in Big East action and had dropped six of its last eight before the battle with Marquette. Betting the Huskies has been a losing proposition with the defending national champs just 7-13-1 ATS.
Villanova's results have been even worse. The Wildcats were 11-14 for the campaign entering Saturday, 4-9 in conference contests and 5-16-1 ATS.
It's the only scheduled skirmish between the two this season. Last year's meeting in Connecticut saw the Huskies eke out a 61-59 triumph to just miss the cover as 2½-point favorites. The spread victory for the Wildcats was their fifth in the last seven meetings.
That game is followed by a Big 12 battle in Austin between the Texas Longhorns and No. 9 Baylor Bears (9:00 p.m. ET). Each team will have short rest from their matchups on Saturday when Texas was 3-point chalk at Oklahoma State and Baylor was giving up seven at home to Kansas State.
The 'Horns and Bears met in Waco on Jan. 28, a 76-71 win for Baylor who fell a bucket shy of getting the cover as a 7-point favorite. The game did skip past the 140-point scoreboard hurdle, the eighth time in the last 11 meetings for 'over' bettors to cash their tickets.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Brenda A. Ohol, age 49, of Lockport, NY, entered into rest Sunday, August 11, 2013 in Eastern Niagara Hospital, with her family at her side, after a long and courageous battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's) disease.
Brenda was born in Batavia, NY on October 18, 1963, loving daughter of Ronald and Patricia (Swift) Lederhouse.
She was a graduate of Akron Central High School, class of 1981, and attended St. Teresa's RC Church in Akron. Brenda had a love for horses and for many years she and her husband were owners and trainers for race horses trotting at Batavia Downs and Buffalo Raceway.
If you met Brenda you would never have forgotten her. She always had a great sense of humor and a terrific smile. She made friends where ever she went just being herself. She will be greatly missed by the many people she touched in her 49 years on earth. God needed a special angel with that special gift so He called her home.
Besides her parents, Brenda is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Michael Ohol, Sr., whom she married on December 31, 1986. Michael deeply cared for his wife and honored their wedding vows in sickness and in health. He cared for her at their home, never thinking of putting her some place other than the home they shared together.
Brenda is survived by a sister, Lisa Lederhouse; loving mother of Courtney Ohol; stepmother of Justina Ohol, Michael Ohol, Jr. and Melinda Ohol; cherished and special grandmother to Brittney. Brenda was also the dear grandmother of Brianna, Ariel and Charli.
Family will receive family and friends on Thursday from 4-7 PM in the CHILDS FUNERAL HOME, LLC, 10 Eckerson Ave., Akron. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday at 10 AM in St. Teresa RC Church, 5771 Buell St., Akron. Burial will be in St. Teresa's Cemetery. Flowers gratefully declined. Memorials in Brenda's memory may be made to the family.

The Rule of Saint Benedict, from the Abbey of Metten
Together with the Biblia pauperum (Paupers' Bible), Abbot Petrus I of the Benedictine Abbey of Metten in Bavaria commissioned another outstanding manuscript, known as the Mettener Regel (literally, The Metten Rule, referring to the rule of Saint Benedict as practiced at the Abbey of Metten) in both Latin and German versions. The abbot had the illuminators, whose style, as in the Biblia pauperum, shows signs of Bohemian influence, paint in color scenes from the life of Saint Benedict at the openings of the chapters. The model for the work was ...
Mirror and Example for the Worshippers of Christ: the Life of the Blessed Father Benedict, Most Holy Patriarch of Monks
Speculum & exemplar Christicolarum: vita beatissimi patris Benedicti monachorum patriarchae sanctissimi (Mirror and example for the worshippers of Christ: the life of the blessed Father Benedict, most holy patriarch of monks) is an illustrated life of Saint Benedict of Nursia (circa 480–547), with a poetic text by Dom Angelus Fagius Sangrinus (1500–93), abbot of Monte Cassino. The abbey was established by Benedict in about 529. This version of the life of Benedict, the patriarch of Western monasticism, is based on Book II of the Dialogues traditionally ascribed to Saint ...
Portraits of the Saints of the Order of Saint Benedict, Printed with Copper Plates, with Praises from Their Lives
This book is an illustrated calendar of Benedictine saints, marking the annual feast of each with an illustration and a brief introduction. Its German provenance is clear from the fact that it includes, in addition to Saint Benedict and his Italian disciples (Benedict himself on March 21, his sister Scholastica on February 10, Maur on January 15, and Placid on October 5), numerous monastic saints revered for their life and work in the German lands. The latter include Adalbert, Aemilianus, Amalarius, Alcuin, Bede, Boniface, Columbanus, Elisabeth, Emmeram, Gertrude, Gregory, Kilian ...
Four Books of Dialogues
This book is a copy of the first printed edition of the Dialogues traditionally ascribed to Saint Gregory the Great (540–604, pope 590–604). The first three books of the Dialogues recount the deeds of Italian saints, with the second book devoted entirely to Saint Benedict (circa 480–547), author of the famous Rule of Benedict for monks and founder of the abbey and monastery of Monte Cassino near Rome. Gregory's literary portrait of Benedict has provided the iconography for the ornamentation of Benedictine monasteries and manuscripts through ...
Rule of Our Holy Father Benedict
This copy of the Rule of Benedict is accompanied by the essential documents important for monks of the Congregation of Santa Giustina in Padua, Italy, one of the major 15th-century reform movements among Benedictines in Europe. Included are the constitutions of the congregation, which explain their interpretation and the application of Benedict's sixth-century rule to the congregation's own time and place, special privileges accorded to the congregation by the pope, and policies related to the Benedictine nuns who were affiliated with the congregation. Saint Benedict (circa 480–547 ...

The Appropriate Use of Science in Public Policy
October 27, 2010
Presentation and discussion, 4:00 - 5:30 pm
American Association for the Advancement of Science Auditorium
1200 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.
The federal government relies on scientific studies to craft regulations intended to protect the health and safety of American workers, the general public, and our environment. But amid charges of ideology-driven agendas and politicization of science, already-tenuous public faith in the regulatory process can easily be lost. What can be done to improve the process, to ensure that the widest possible range of knowledge and expertise is utilized, that conflicts of interest and inappropriate influence are minimized, and that science is used appropriately to help inform public policy? This event will explore ways to make the regulatory process more open, consistent, and credible to all stakeholders.

Clean and Modern
live.laugh.love RSVP Postcards Love the final product! They look expensive but were a great cost. The color didn't turn out exactly as expected, but is close enough. The pearlessant paper is beautiful and really makes the simple design shine!
live.laugh.love RSVP Postcards Quality is good, not excellent, but very affordable. Flexible.
Be Merry RSVP Postcards These look great! We are doing an italian buffet for our reception dinner. So instead of having an option of what food they want, I made the lines go all the way across the page and made the title "please provide two songs that are guaranteed to get you to dance." That way the RSVP isn't bare, and we will have a great way to make sure we have music that our guests will like!!
Great size and quality
Be Merry RSVP Postcards I am very happy with my RSVPs. They are a great size for a postcard to be returned and will fit great in the pocket invite. My only issue with this RSVP was in the designing process. I did not have the food selections on my RSVP and could not move the Name section down to take up the space where the food selections were. This may have been me not knowing the design window also. Finished product looks great and matches the invites perfectly!
Unique & Fun
Be Merry RSVP Postcards We purchased these RSVP's to go with the matching invitations. I honestly picked my invitations based on this RSVP design - I really liked it. I thought it was simple yet unique and captured the design we were looking for. We have gotten a few compliments on them already and just mailed them last week! Love how you can personalize with your Wedding Colors - I changed the verbage on the bottom to include hotel information and adults/kids attending.
