On A Japanese Astronaut Says Goodbye to His Robot Space Companion
@I AM DIAPHENA To be fair, sometimes the accent happens because they're using an interpreter whose native language is the non-English part of the pair. But only sometimes.
On The Last Sunday of the Year
Esther! It's great to see work from you again. And this particular comic is really relevant to things I've been thinking about lately, as someone who is in theory a writer but has been writing less and less (and is having a baby, which I'm told is time-consuming). So thanks, and do keep creating things, even if they take you a long time.
On Teenage Girls, as Imagined By an 8-Year-Old in 1991
These are awesome! I'm going to take up collecting green striped things.
In sixth grade, one of my friends got in trouble for drawing pictures of all of our future lives. The weird thing is that most of the pictures depicted us not as glamorous teenagers like Jennifar Ann, but as grown women with large, happy families and fulfilling careers. The teacher confiscated my picture, which showed me as heavily pregnant and hosting a friendly Spanish exchange student with the rest of my brood, and scolded us both for having dirty minds.
On Internet Work and Invisible Labor: An Interview With NPR's Linda Holmes
@rallisaurus Ahhh, so jealous! Have fun tonight!
On When Friends Have Babies
@MmeLibrarian Thank you for this. I know exactly where this author is coming from -- having been weird and awkward around both my sisters and a number of friends when they had their first kids, and now being pregnant with a long-awaited, much-wanted baby whose advent nonetheless is utterly terrifying. (What if I don't want to turn into somebody else? What if I turn into somebody awful and I don't even realize it? Have I basically signed an affidavit swearing that I will never finish writing a novel?)
On What to Expect When You're Expecting a Sea Monster
YES. Yes. Yes.
On The First Response Pie
@lemonadefish Bodies are the worst. The worst.
On The First Response Pie
@MrsTeacherFace Same here. PMS for me = sore boobs and mild sadness, followed by one day of Ultimate Despair. Pregnancy for me = sore boobs and mild sadness, followed by "Hey, I didn't cry or pick a savage, baseless fight or think about throwing myself into the river even once yesterday. Should I take a test?" (Followed by miscarriage, so I'm right there with you, lemonadefish. Courage!)
On Lord I Lift Your Camp On High
@franceschances I went to VBS at this super-strict Baptist church that called it VBT, for Vacation Bible Time. Only boys were allowed to sit cross-legged, or "like Indians." Girls had to sit "like princesses," with our legs tucked to the side.
On Lord I Lift Your Camp On High
@Sharone I wonder how the songs of your camp's music guy compared to the songs of the wife of my camp director. She wrote a new song every summer to go with the theme. She wasn't very good at it, but I still know all the words to a lot of her songs.

Hezekiah Leroy Gordon Smith (14th September 1909-25th September 1967), better known as Stuff Smith, was an American jazz violinist. Smith was, along with Stéphane Grappelli and Joe Venuti, one of jazz music's preeminent violinists of the swing era. He was born in Portsmouth, Ohio in 1909 and studied violin with his father. Smith cited Louis Armstrong as his primary influence and inspiration to play jazz, and like Armstrong, was a vocalist as well as instrumentalist. In the 1920s he played in Texas as a member of Alphonse Trent's band.

The desk area.
The breakfast area is very small with odd seating and very few tables. The only fruit for breakfast was tasteless plums and nearly black over ripe bananas. The toilet is three feet from the bed and separated with a sliding pocket door with frosted glassOdd decor, kind of like Ikea cheap. Poor layout of toilet and shower area. The 'free' wifi is total bait and switch. Yes it is free for the very slow connection, BUT if you pay $5 more dollars you get a higher speed, maybe. This hotel suffers from Marriott syndrome, nickel and dime, nickel and dime. If it weren't the only hotel left from West Yellowstone to Idaho Falls we would not have booked it.

Front desk staff friendly & accommodating. I asked for a room change because there was no grab bar in the shower. Self-serve breakfast included waffles & biscuits & gravy along with lighter fare. Good value for families. The rear parking lot has a small bridge to the 2-mile walk along the green belt to the falls & lovely volunteer-created Japanese garden. I would market this marvelous tourist feature. San Antonio doesn't have impressive falls like IF.
My 1st room had lines of dust on the carpet where Housekeeping hadn't bothered to move a chair to vacuum. AC/heat units very dated & noisy. Housekeeping unplugged the lights on either side of the bed when they cleaned & didn't plug them in again.

The view and location near the Falls was awesome!
The laundry facilities were sketchy and the machines did not work. The breakfast was prepackaged rolls and juice but the hotel must have been afraid that people would take too many rolls so they limited the amount they put out at any one time. CheapIf you advertise breakfast, continental is fine - just have it available. We asked them to replenish because it was empty - they put a few things out but a family with children came down at the same time we came back and we let them have what was there - silly thing to be cheap on. The room was nice although the bathroom was a little dated (phone in the toilet/shower area) but nice size room and very nice view.

Was looking for a more affordable hotel for a family road trip. This was OK and met our needs for the night.
Room was pretty dated and worn..could really use some updating. Curtains were shredded at the bottom, some were simple things need repair. The carpet seemed like it could use cleaning. Strong smell of smoke when you first walk into the building.Really basic hotel, cheapest in the area, so I was not expecting great property or amenities. Did have free internet. The pool was kind of scary looking and outdoor areas were not well lit at night. There was a hot tub area, but that building was locked up. Overall, OK experience. Would probably spend a little more next time for more amenities, and newer, cleaner hotel.

My only suggestion would be to clean the corners of the bathroom floor more often, and a longer shower curtain would be less likely to allow water to spray out of the shower/tub.

A small Phoenix home caught fire Sunday afternoon, displacing the owner and nearly two dozens dogs, fire officials said.
A dozen firefighters pulled up to the burning home near 12th Street and Apache at about 2:20 p.m.
The owner of the home was not injured and the dogs were all OK, said Phoenix Fire Department Capt. Mark Gonzales.
Gonzales said one of the immediate challenges is getting the dogs the care they need.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

Legal Issues
Congress recently passed legislation—the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act)—that should speed up the adoption of electronic health records. In anticipation of more hospitals using this technology, HITECH provides more privacy and security protections provided under HIPAA—the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
As you may be aware, even though health professionals are trained to be aware of HIPAA rules and regulations, privacy violations in healthcare settings happens frequently. To be sure, health professionals are routinely disciplined or fired for violating the privacy rights of patients, and some have even been disciplined for accessing their own personal electronic health records. Recently, several health professionals in an Iowa hospital were fired for snooping through patient's medical records. A patient order coordinator looked at the medical records of her boyfriend's ex-wife, meanwhile another worker reviewed the medical records of the mother her adopted child. (See other examples below).
Dan McNeil of AFT's Legal Department explains the basics of HIPAA.
HIPAA allows anyone who feels that their rights have been violated to lodge a formal complaint with the hospital or the federal Office for Civil Rights (OCR). According to the OCR, the most common complaints involve wrongfully using or disclosing protected health information, failing to protect health information, failing to allow patients' access to their protected health information, and disclosing more health information than necessary.
Health professionals accused of violating HIPAA rules can be investigated by their hospital and could face disciplinary action. The penalties for HIPAA violations include remediation/training, progressive discipline, suspension and termination. Health professionals can also face punishment from the federal government for HIPAA violations. The HITECH legislation includes significant monetary penalties and prison sentences for certain HIPAA violations.
HITECH requires hospitals to notify a patient within 60 days if it is discovered that their privacy has been breached. Hospitals also must notify the secretary of Department of Health and Human Services in all cases and if the breach of protected health information involves more than 500 residents of a state, hospitals have to notify the news media.
Examples of HIPAA violations
- A nurse and an orderly at a state hospital discussed the HIV/AIDS status of a patient and the patient's spouse within earshot of other patients without making reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure. Upon learning of the incident, the hospital placed both employees on leave; the orderly ultimately resigned. The hospital took further disciplinary action with the nurse, which included documenting the employee record with a memo of the incident; one year probation; referral for peer review; and further HIPAA. In addition, the state attorney general's office entered into a monetary settlement agreement with the patient.
- Nurses and staff in a California emergency room took pictures of a stabbing victim and posted them on Facebook. The breach of patient privacy led to the firing of four staff members; another three were disciplined. The photos were posted for two days before co-workers reported it to hospital administrators.
- After treating a patient injured in a rather unusual sporting accident, the hospital released to the local media, without the patient's authorization, copies of the patient's skull x-ray as well as a description of the complainant's medical condition. The local newspaper then featured on its front page the individual's x-ray and an article that included the date of the accident, the location of the accident, the patient's gender, a description of patient's medical condition, and numerous quotes from the hospital about such unusual sporting accidents. The hospital asserted that the disclosures were made to avert a serious threat to health or safety; however, OCR's investigation indicated that the disclosures did not meet the privacy rule's standard for such actions. The OCR required the hospital to develop and implement a policy regarding disclosures related to serious threats to health and safety, and to train all members of the hospital staff on the new policy.
- Two workers in a hospital in New Mexico were fired for taking cell phone pictures of a patient receiving treatment and posting the images to MySpace. The photos were discovered after anonymous tip to a hospital supervisor. The hospital supervisor oversaw the removal of the photos from the website and cell phones.
- A nurse practitioner with privileges at a multi-hospital healthcare system accessed the medical records of her ex-husband. The healthcare system terminated the nurse's access to its electronic records system; reported the nurse's conduct to the appropriate licensing authority; and, provided the nurse with remedial HIPAA training.
- In California, five nurses were fired after hospital administrators discovered they were discussing patients on Facebook. The nurses have appealed their firings, saying that they did not violate patient privacy.

As much as I love tomato-based sauces, I have never really enjoyed the raw fruit. It's a texture thing; I'm just not a fan of the squishy insides. And let's face it- most tomatoes are tasteless and mealy, having "ripened" on their long journey in refrigerator trucks.
(Farm to Fork BBT Sandwich; Photo: Tracey Eckersley)
The exception is at the height of summer when fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes are available. At this time of year I overcome my textural bias and enjoy the overwhelming sweetness that these gorgeous globes provide. Case in point: the awesome bacon, basil, and tomato sandwich prepared by Farm to Fork Catering at my local farmers market two weeks ago. See that large slice of golden yellow tomato? It was the sweetest, most delicious tomato I have ever eaten, contrasting perfectly with the salty bacon, the bright basil, and a creamy herb-laced mayonnaise.
(Hazelfield Farm Tomatoes; Photo: Tracey Eckersley)
I couldn't get that sandwich out of my head. I posted a picture on my Facebook page, I dreamt about it and, this past weekend, I ordered another one. It was just as good as the first. Inspired, I hunted down some tomatoes to take home and enjoy. I came across these baby heirloom varieties grown by Hazelfield Farm and I knew exactly what I wanted to make.
(Jamie Oliver; Photo: Daily Mail via Grace in Full Measure)
Several years ago, I watched Jamie Oliver prepare a simple dish of sausages roasted with cherry tomatoes in his wood burning oven. It was so easy and looked so scrumptious that my husband and I recreated it at the cottage, substituting our barbecue for his fancy oven. It was the perfect meal and our guests raved about it. I really don't know why I haven't made it since.
But, with my pint of tomatoes in hand, I knew that it was time to recreate this delightful dish. Recipe junkies can see his printed version here, but I prefer the simplified, slap-dash version from Oliver's live demonstration:
1-2 Italian sausages per person (hot, mild, or a mix)
1 large handful of cherry tomatoes per person (I really like a mixture of heirloom varieties)
Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, oregano, and basil work well)
Fresh garlic cloves
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
Because this is such a simple recipe, use the best and freshest ingredients you can find. Bust out the expensive oil and vinegar if you have them. I grabbed some thyme and basil from Hazelfield Farm and plump Italian sausage from Brooks Meats.
Because I wanted the sausages to cook through, I browned them for a few minutes on each side while I pre-heated the oven to 400 degrees. Then I simply tossed the tomatoes and sausage with enough oil to coat, added a splash of balsamic vinegar (go easy on this if your fruit is really sweet), and liberally seasoned everything with salt and pepper. I spread the mixture in a cast iron skillet (pick a pan that your ingredients will cover the bottom completely in one single layer) and topped with sprigs of fresh thyme. In my haste, I totally forgot the garlic cloves but these would be peeled and tossed in here as well.
Cook for 30 minutes, turning the sausage and pressing gently on the tomatoes (watch out for the hot juice) half-way through. I like to top it with a chiffonade of fresh basil and serve it with a simple salad and lots of fresh, crusty bread to mop up the sauce. This recipe works equally well in an oven, barbecue, or even a campfire. If there are leftovers (and that's a big if), they make a great sandwich filling or pasta sauce. Enjoy!

Emily Lloyd said:
If I were a high school history teacher, all my students would read this book. Lanier was the youngest of the Little Rock Nine—the nine black kids who went to Central high school after it was forcibly integrated. As a high-achieving, captain of this, queen of that 8th grader, when she heard that Central was opening to black kids, signing up was a no-brainer: it was a much better school, with much nicer equipment and labs, and it was closer to her house than the all-black-by-default high school. She had no idea what was coming. When she showed up to Central the first day, the National Guard was there—to keep the Nine safe, she thought, because crowds were jeering and spitting at them—but the state governor had actually called out the Guard to prevent the black kids from entering (it was the President who integrated the school, not the governor). The Nine were not allowed to participate in any sports or extracurriculars, a shock to the usually-involved-in-everything Carlotta. Many of the Nine didn't return to Central after the first year. Carlotta, the youngest, entering as a freshman, survived all four years and was the first black female graduate of the school. Fantastic and eye-opening, with a forward by Bill Clinton.

Cattle vaccination
Cattle vaccination information is now available on GOV.UK.
Vaccination of cattle against bovine TB, used in conjunction with existing TB control measures, could have benefits in reducing the prevalence, incidence and spread of TB in the cattle population and could also reduce the severity of a herd breakdown regardless of whether infection is introduced by wildlife or cattle.
Developing effective cattle TB vaccines is a high priority for Defra. Since 1998, we have invested more than £23 million on research and development on cattle vaccines and associated diagnostics, and over the next 4 years plan to invest a further £9.3 million.
The science about vaccination and the use of BCG
BCG (Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette-Guérin) is currently the most suitable cattle TB vaccine candidate. Experimental studies show that BCG vaccination reduces the progression, severity and excretion of TB in cattle (1-5) and field studies show that it can reduce transmission of disease between animals (6-7). Development of alternative vaccines is a longer-term research goal.
How efficacious is BCG in cattle?
As vaccination of cattle in the field is currently prohibited under EU legislation, the cattle vaccine and associated diagnostic test have been developed in experimentally infected cattle. These studies cannot provide a definite figure for vaccine efficacy when administered to cattle under field conditions in the UK. Small-scale field studies have been carried out recently in Ethiopia(6) and Mexico(7) and depending on the parameters selected the protective effect of vaccination was between 56% and 68%. It is not clear what effect BCG vaccination of cattle would have in reducing the incidence of TB herd breakdowns.
BCG vaccination of cattle, as with BCG vaccination in other species, is not 100% effective in preventing TB. Rather, it provides a spectrum of protection:
- Some cattle will be fully protected;
- Some cattle will suffer a less severe form of disease (and be less likely to affect other animals);
- Some cattle will get no protection from vaccination.
As far as we know BCG does not have a therapeutic effect in already infected animals.
BCG vaccination of cattle could be a valuable tool when used alongside other TB control measures in the UK.
Progress on licensing BCG in cattle
Licensing studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of BCG have now been completed by Defra's Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) and in January 2012 an application for marketing authorisation (required to place a veterinary medicinal product on the market) was submitted to the UK's Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) for assessment. The assessment process may take up to a year to complete and providing it is satisfied with the safety, efficacy and quality data, VMD will be able to confirm that requirements to obtain a marketing authorisation have been met. However, VMD will only be able to grant a marketing authorisation for BCG once the existing EU prohibition on vaccination of cattle against TB is lifted.
Differential diagnosis of BCG-vaccinated animals from TB-infected animals
Vaccination of cattle with BCG results in a proportion of animals becoming positive to standard TB diagnostic tests (both to the tuberculin skin test and the conventional interferon-gamma blood test) and can therefore lead to false positive results in BCG-vaccinated but TB-uninfected cattle (8). In parallel with developing cattle TB vaccines, AHVLA is also developing a test to differentiate infected from vaccinated animals (the so-called DIVA test (8-10)). This test, a modification of the current interferon-gamma blood test, can be used alongside the tuberculin skin test in vaccinated animals where necessary, to confirm whether a skin test positive result is caused by vaccination or TB infection.
Barriers to vaccination of cattle against TB and what is being done to change the law
Vaccination of cattle against TB is currently prohibited by EU legislation, in place principally because BCG vaccination of cattle can interfere with the tuberculin skin test which is the recognised primary diagnostic test for TB in cattle.
Vaccinating cattle in the UK against TB but without a Marketing Authorisation for the vaccine runs the risk that live cattle and cattle product exports could be banned by other countries. While the export market for live cattle is relatively small, the value of our meat and dairy exports is much greater. Our dairy exports alone grew by nearly 20% in 2011, to more than £1.1billion.
Defra has discussed with the European Commission the steps that would be necessary to change the current legislation and allow TB vaccination of cattle combined with use of a test to differentiate infected from vaccinated animals (so-called "DIVA" test – see below) to be used as a trade test. One of the most difficult barriers will be to get international validation of the DIVA test, which will depend on being able to satisfy the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), on the basis of solid scientific evidence, that the test is effective and safe. That process is in train, but is likely to take years, rather than months, to complete. AHVLA's data has been shared with other OIE reference laboratories and with the EU Reference Laboratory for bovine TB for their views.
An opportunity to provide a future legal basis for vaccination of cattle against TB is likely to be created by the proposed new European Animal Health Law, which is currently under consideration by the European Commission.
The EU commissioner for health and consumer policy wrote to the Secretary of State (PDF) on 14 January 2013 setting out a tentative timeline for possible use of a TB cattle vaccine.
Further cattle TB vaccine and DIVA research and development
Further research in progress includes continued vaccine development to improve the efficacy of a BCG-based vaccine and development of vaccines that do not sensitise cattle to the tuberculin skin test (non-sensitising vaccines). Computer modelling is also being developed to assess how efficient a vaccine for TB will have to be to provide protection to herds and the benefit vaccination may provide to different types of farm businesses. Modelling will also assess the likely interaction of vaccination with routine surveillance and help us to recommend optimal schedules for vaccine delivery.
Preparing for deployment
As the science becomes clearer Defra will be in a firmer position in the coming months to begin to discuss with farmers, vets and other interested parties about how the vaccine and the associated DIVA test can be used in the field and the likely implications on different types of farm business.

We shared this apartment with two other couples (two couples from the UK and one from USA) and we all found it to be perfect. The views were amazing and Helga has provided everything you could need including a hairdryer. Everything was just as described - very clean and nicely furnished.There was plenty of room for all six of us and there are plenty of bathrooms.The property is right in the middle of everything. We bought pastries for breakfast just up the street. Helga was wonderful to deal with and Sabina was always available for immediate help.

School Food Regulation Won't Take the Cake
School Food Regulation Won't Take the Cake
Reposted with permission by: Dana Woldow
Even as the school year ends, the battle to improve school food continues to be fought on several fronts. Various legislation aimed at pizza, bake sales, and school snacks, plus an HBO documentary on obesity, are the highlights of this end-of-school season.
HBO's Weight of the Nation aired in 4 hour-long segments in mid-May (watch here if you missed it). Despite the importance of this show's message, the first two hours had so many talking heads all saying the same thing that it started sounding like that weird guidance counselor from South Park ("Uh, fat is baaad, mmmkay? … So, uh, don't get fat, mmmkay?") The segment on child obesity really delivered, though, ripping the food industry for their relentless marketing of crap to kids in the way that only a network which is paid for by viewers – not sponsors – can do.
The show also noted that school meals are what they are because of underfunding by the government, a favorite topic of mine, and made the point, as I have in the past, that schools should not have to use money intended for educational expenses to instead cover nutritional expenses.
Speaking of government, the federal Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 sets new nutritional and other requirements for school meals, many of which go into effect with the start of school in the fall. The most highly publicized part of the Act was the last-minute maneuvering by some in Congress to continue to count pizza as a vegetable to meet nutritional requirements for meals.
Now, however, Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado has introduced his "SLICE" - School Lunch Improvements for Children's Education - Act, which would count pizza as, well, pizza; the Congressman is hoping his proposal can become part of the reauthorization of the Farm Bill currently being negotiated by Congress.
A less heavily publicized aspect of the HHFK Act is the requirement that the US Department of Agriculture, which oversees school meals, issue far reaching nutritional regulations for all food sold at school, not just for the food in the federally subsidized school meal programs. For the first time, the USDA will regulate all food which is sold competitively with those programs, including cafeteria a la carte lines, school vending machines, school stores, and most school fundraising sales.
California has passed legislation addressing some competitive foods, and some school districts like SFUSD have strict Wellness Policies in place which set even higher standards. However, a 2007 study by the Center for Science in the Public Interest reported that "only twelve states (24%) have comprehensive school food and beverage nutrition standards that apply to the whole campus and the whole school day at all grade levels" and that "two-thirds of states have weak or no policies." The proposed rule from the USDA is expected to be made public by mid-June.
One area the new USDA regs will not be addressing is food sent from home not intended for sale - that is, student lunch boxes, and food for sharing at parties and celebrations. Despite the impression created by a widely publicized misunderstanding in a North Carolina preschool classroom in February, in which a 4 year old child's lunch from home was thrown away and replaced with a school lunch of chicken nuggets, there is no federal regulation of what a parent can send from home for their own child's lunch.
While teachers or parents may look askance at the contents of some kids' lunch boxes, those contents are generally considered a family's prerogative. It's a different story, though, when the issue is food to be shared; that's a hot topic of discussion among parents on nutrition-related blogs. On one side are parents who want to send cupcakes to school for their child's birthday.
On the other side are parents who feel the constant parade of cake and classroom treats is helping drive the obesity epidemic; parents whose children have food allergies or other medical issues which make that cupcake a threat to the child's health; parents who are concerned about the possibility of food dyes (blue frosting, anyone?) and other additives in store-bought treats; parents who can't afford to send in cupcakes for the whole class, but who feel pressure to do so because their child was served a cupcake on everyone else's birthday.
One of the most active sites for such discussion is The Lunch Tray blog, run by Houston mom Bettina Elias Siegel. She told me,
I certainly never set out to become the voice of the anti-school-treat movement but, like a lot of my readers, I think what happens is that you reach a natural tipping point. You start out feeling – correctly, in my opinion – that treats and a bit of junk food here and there are no big deal, and a normal part of childhood. You enjoy taking your kids out for ice cream or baking cookies or bringing in cupcakes to school to celebrate a birthday. But then as your kids get older, it starts to seem that at virtually every event at which more than two children gather (piano recital, soccer game, dance competition, scout meeting), someone inevitably is handing your child a juice pouch and a bag of chips or a donut. What you used to think of as a "treat" is being thrust upon your child almost daily.
And I think that's why the issue of treats in the classroom strikes such a nerve with me and my readers. We'd like to view our schools as an ally in our efforts to keep kids healthy, or at the very least not as an adversary. And then we grow dismayed by the amount of sugar and other junk our kids get from school, without any parental consent or oversight.
So the problem is not just that school party food is such junk, it's that it is happening so often. Some people say, "Why shouldn't I send cupcakes for my child's birthday? One cupcake is not going to make anyone obese!" Texas has gone so far as to guarantee a parent's "right" to send cupcakes to their child's classroom through the Safe Cupcake Amendment. But it is never just that one cupcake; it has become a constant stream of treats.
An SF parent described her child's school party experience this way:
At least once a week there are treats handed out. This week was the topper: On Tuesday, Valentine's Day, my daughter brought home about 30 pieces of candy after eating several cookies + cupcakes + a Capri Sun. Wednesday was a birthday for another child whose parents provided large cupcakes + Capri Suns + goodie bags with candy. Then on Thursday, her teacher had an ice cream sundae party for the students who had memorized their times tables. That was in one week! I know our Principal tries her best in her beginning-of-the year letter to the school community to encourage healthy treats. But the parents go ahead and bring them anyway. It's tough on teachers whose students' parents show up with the trays of cupcakes in the morning. What are they supposed to do, say "Sorry, no treats" and watch the birthday kid's eyes well up with tears?
The Weight of the Nation documentary focused a lot on the idea of personal responsibility to help combat obesity. However, as one of the anti-classroom-cupcake parents told me, her school's laissez faire policy on classroom treats undermines her attempts to model personal responsibility around food. She said,
I'm taking personal responsibility by feeding my family healthy. And it often means making difficult choices, like saying "No" when they ask for yet another treat, refusing to buy them Gatorade at the grocery store, and setting the alarm for 5 a.m. so I have time to pack them a nutritious lunch. But that's also why I get frustrated when other people load up my kids with junk, which happens frequently--including at school. It makes me feel like my efforts are constantly being undermined by well-meaning parents, teachers, friends and family members.
There has to be a middle ground between never allowing students to have any kind of food-based party at school, and the junk food free-for-alls which happen all too often. Some classrooms have had success with limiting parties to one per month, for every child whose birthday falls within that month. Others stress celebrations that are non-food based, such as doing a special craft project in lieu of a food orgy.
No one wants to be the Grinch who stole parties, but many parents are fed up with having other adults, some of whom they have never even met, constantly putting junk food in front of their kids. The best option for those parents may be to try to offer alternative, non-food school celebrations which are even "funner" (as the kids say), and which bring more parents into the school to help out, so that parties are not just dumped on the teacher. It's easy to see why the default is a soda, cupcakes and chips bash, if a teacher doesn't have an extra pair of hands or two to help out at the party.
Next year, instead of a Valentine's Day sugar blowout, wouldn't it be great if families sent six-packs of annuals (pansy, Iceland poppy, marigold) to class instead of cupcakes and candy, and students planted them around school as a way to show their love of Mother Earth?
We all work, we are all busy, but we make time for the things which are important to us. Parents who want to change the party culture at their school need to make time to demonstrate that there are other ways to celebrate besides mindless junk food inhalation. That's the kind of lesson schools should be teaching, and one that can benefit children their whole lives.

The responses of healthcare professionals to the admission of people with cognitive impairment to acute hospital settings: an observational and interview study
Philip Clissett, Davina Porock, Rowan H Harwood and John RF Gladman
Compassion in nursing is under particular focus in the United Kingdom following a series of high profile failures of care in recent years, however it is an issue that it relevant to nursing on an international scale. The increasing longevity of the global population means that nurses are encountering patients with cognitive impairment in all situations.
This paper is thought provoking in its focus. The reported perception of cognitively impaired patient as 'disruptive' is one that is highlighted in literature, however the notion that nursing them is somehow less rewarding because such patients are often not in a position to appreciate or acknowledge the care provided to them is one that is less often discussed. Clissett et al. note that nurses address this sense of disruption by endeavouring to maintain control of the situation, sometimes with great sensitivity and sometime less so. Some of the observations reported by the authors are distressing and disturbing.
This paper is thought provoking and should be read by every nurse (which is probably all of us) who will be caring for the cognitively impaired individual – it will make you reflect upon your own practice and those of colleagues, which is what good clinical research should do.

A Broward Sheriff's deputy thought he was going to die when a masked carjacker held a weapon to his head in a predawn holdup Friday on the side of Florida's Turnpike while he was on his way home, reports the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
How did the carjackers get the deputy to stop?
The red Volvo behind him was flashing red and blue lights -- legally used only by police and firefighters in Florida. The deputy thought state troopers were pulling him over, according to the report.
Bad move for the bad guys: Now two of the county's largest law enforcement agencies are working together to find them.

Little Big Town 's new album, Painkiller , will be out this fall featuring their latest single, "Day Drinking." They've already been performing several songs from the album in their live shows, including the title track.
LBT's Karen Fairchild tells Rolling Stone Country , "We knew the record was going to be called Painkiller way on into the process because we love that song. That song is really kind of tongue-in-cheek -- 'be the person that numbs my pain.' We started talking about tying that thread through the whole record, to ease your pain."
The group's Kimberly Schlapman shows off some very sassy vocals on the song "Save Your Sin," while another new track, "Turn the Lights On," has become Little Big Town's show-opener this summer. The band experimented with new sounds on Painkiller , but Karen thinks fans will recognize Little Big Town's stamp on it.
"The record is bold and provocative and yet it's very fun," she says. "It's not a departure, it's the next step."
Look for Little Big Town's "Day Drinking" video to premiere on People.com Wednesday. They shot the clip in multiple locations in Miami.

Provides an array of services and supports for individuals with disabilities and related challenges to live, learn, work and play in the community.
Anixter Center is a nonprofit organization providing disability services and support that is individualized, choice-driven, culturally sensitive and promoting of inclusion.
In 1918, Anixter Center was born out of the need for an orphanage for abandoned children, and has served the greater Chicago area ever since. Ninety percent of the people Anixter Center serves are low-income and live at or below the federal poverty line, and continually focusing on the needs of the most under-served.
Each year, at dozens of locations throughout the Chicago region, more than 7,300 children, teens, young adults and adults with disabilities are supported through Anixter Center and its three divisions-CALOR, Chicago Hearing Society and National Lekotek Center. Together these four entities provide 34 programs in 5 service areas:
· Community Support
· Education Services
· Employment/Business Services
· Health and Behavioral Health Services
· Residential and Housing Support
"Anixter Center connects people with disabilities to the power and the ability to take control of their lives. We consistently witness that when we believe in individuals, they begin—often for the first time—to believe in themselves. And that's when remarkable things happen." Kevin Limbeck, Anixter Center President and CEO

Curb Records is making a federal case out of its beef with country star Tim McGraw, moving its 2-year-old complaint in state court in Tennessee to the federal level in arguing that he breached his contract with Curb and signing in 2011 with Big Machine Records.
Curb's suit alleges copyright infringement and breach of contract, Billboard reports. The case began in 2011 with a disagreement between McGraw and Curb over his album "Emotional Traffic," which he said completed his contractual commitment to Curb, the label for whom he'd recorded for the previous 20 years.
Curb argued that some of the recordings included on "Emotional Traffic" were recorded too early to meet the terms of his contract regarding new material. McGraw countered that the label had intentionally delayed release of the album to keep him under contract.
State rulings in Tennessee prevented Curb from obtaining an injunction against McGraw moving to another label, which cleared the way for him to sign with Big Machine, the label that's also home to Taylor Swift and which released McGraw's "Two Lanes of Freedom" album in February.

Annual birding festival expands to downtown
By Jack Kintner
This year's annual birding festival Wings Over Water (WOW), set for April 19, has expanded into downtown in order to accommodate more activities and, planners hope, more people.
"We still need someone to wear the bird suit, though," said festival chair Debbie Harger, whose committee is hard at work with last minute details. The suit will fit just about any regularly-sized person, Harger said, asking that interested older kids or adults call her to volunteer.
Reknown Surrey, B.C., eagle expert David Hancock headlines the ambitious schedule that also features lots of free family oriented activities such as wildlife demonstrations, exhibits, displays, craft vendors and more. For a $5 fee, the city's MV Plover Ferry will take visitors on a local wildlife cruise or a waterborne field trip to Lake Terrell.
Bird viewing stations with scopes will be set up in Marine Park and at Birch Bay State Park, where a significant number of Brant recently moved in as they work their way north on their spring migration.
Ornithologist Wayne Weber of Delta, B.C., explained that while the Brant's fall migration involves a virtually non-stop flight from northern Alaska to the subtropics, on their way north in the spring the Brant work much more slowly, stopping at productive eel grass areas such as ours to eat and remain nourished on the way to their northern summer habitat.
If you've ever wanted to become involved in birding this is a good way to get a solid introduction as a number of birding experts will be present either as presenters or attendees, such as North Cascades Audubon chapter president Joe Meche.
The birding habitat in both Blaine and Birch Bay is so attractive for migrating species, especially shorebirds, that one of the best places to practice the rapidly growing hobby of birding is right here on our doorstep, and on that day every one of our local hotspots will have someone there to show you what to look for and what you're seeing at the time.
Additional information for the festival is available through the Blaine Chamber of Commerce at 360/332-4544. Individuals can find complete details of the festival at: www.blainechamber.com/wow and www.washingtonbrant.org.

Simply connect your microphone and start performing!Taming Technology for Intuitive Ease of UseWith all the technological power packed inside, it was vital that Korg also made the Pa800 easy to understand and easy to use. But even more, they wanted the whole way you use the Pa800 to be an intuitive, musical, fast, foolproof experience. The graphical user interface uses an amazing Graphical Color Touch Screen so you simply think, point, and click for easy and intuitive use—RX Technology at work for you!Allowing musicians of all levels to make great music quickly, there are two interface modes: easy and expert.

The Pa800 delivers sound that makes it seem like you have the coolest band available on stage—all working under your control.Korg sound quality is relied on by musicians everywhere. For the Pa800, they redesigned what was already the most powerful synth sound engine available to give you an even richer, more detailed, sophisticated, and natural sound than ever before with musical instruments from almost every genre exploding with depth, nuance, subtlety, accuracy, and richness. They even used several sounds from OASYS helping the Pa800 set a new standard for arranger keyboards.The sound memory of the Pa800 has been largely increased to achieve the best sound quality possible boasting all new multilevel samples of the instruments you know and love. Many of these also include also various levels of articulation so the polyphony has also been expanded to 120 notes to cover even busy passages.There are more than 950 ROM sounds, including a new amazing multilayer stereo acoustic piano accurately sampled from a Concert Grand (and including String and damper pedal Resonance!), plus an extra 64 drum kits. In addition, the RAM area contains up to 256 user sounds and 64 drum kits and of course, there is full onboard sound editing.Full Featured Sample ToolsStill not enough sounds?

Korg add further realism to your performance with Fill 3/Break, Intro 3/Count In, and Ending 3 Style Elements.Never a Dull MomentKorg Pa80 introduced the world's first Arranger keyboard with two separate MIDI file players in the legendary Pa80 and the Pa800 showcases these double sequencer features working at an all new power level. In addition, the Pa800 supports the main musical formats such as SMF (Standard Midi File), Karaoke files and GM (General MIDI) and of course is able to display lyrics in most popular karaoke formats.There is also a practical Marker function to allow you to jump directly to a given position in the song: you can fix the markers using the internal sequencer (or using a computer based one—the marker format is standard) and then remix your favorite songs during a live performance for added spontaneity.Easy-to-Use, Advanced Musical SequencingAlong with a powerful and fully programmable multi track sequencer, you can use Backing Sequences to create songs based over styles—quickly and easily. You don't need to be a master programmer—you can write your own song in minutes: even beginners can easily create songs using the step edit feature.

You can modify and save Styles, Performances, Programs, Settings for Sliders, Switches, Pads, Global (Midi channels, output routings, etc.) and more for both internal and external control. Scales are fully programmable and include quarter tone settings and a programmable Arabic Scale.Enhanced USB CapabilitiesThe Pa800 has two USB Host connections available to connect standard pen drives, external hard drives, CD-ROM, or even a floppy disk. One Host is used to connect other USB devices from the front panel for quick access in real time, while the second Host is on the back panel. A further USB device connection is available for the Pa800 to connect with a PC for fast exchange of large amounts of data or as a MIDI connection without the need for extra MIDI computer interfaces.Stellar Sound SystemThe custom designed amplification system is exceptionally high quality. The 2 x 22 watt amplifiers drive the two tweeters and the 2 x 10" woofers in a bass-reflex box to generate a powerful listening experience. Loudness and Fixed EQ boost the overall volume to deliver a big sound!Great FeelThe keybed is unique to Korg, feels great, and naturally has aftertouch as well as being velocity sensitive.
