Journal of Trauma Nursing
The Journal of Trauma Nursing is the only peer reviewed journal dedicated to trauma nursing. It is the official publication of the Society of Trauma Nursing.
There will be six Issues of JTN in 2014!
Trauma Awareness Month, Week 4
May is National Trauma Awareness Month. In 1988, Ronald Reagan recognized the need for trauma awareness and established May as the month for us to dedicate our time and resources to increasing education and prevention activities.
The Society of Trauma Nurses has compiled resources for you to use during National Trauma Awareness Month. In an effort to address the continuum of care, we will focus on different trauma topics each week of the month. Members will receive weekly emails announcing the topics and availability of resources to share with your departments and communities.
We encourage you to take advantage of this time to ensure optimal trauma care to all people!

Domestic Violence
Week 4 - May 24-28, 2010
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence –
- One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
- An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year.
- 85% of domestic violence victims are women.
- Historically, females have been most often victimized by someone they knew.
- Females who are 20-24 years of age are at the greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence.
- Most cases of domestic violence are never reported to the police.
Domestic violence is a significant public health problem in the United States. All forms of domestic violence, from episodic violence to battering, are preventable. The key is prevention which focuses on first-time perpetration and first time victimization. Numerous resources are available for both victims and healthcare providers. STN has compiled a few resources to help you enhance prevention materials and education activities in your community as well as advance the care provided when a victim is admitted to your trauma center as a result of domestic violence.

In 2005, almost 900,000 children suffered abuse by adults, with parents of victims accounting for almost 80% of abusers. Every day, four children die in the United States because of abuse or neglect, most of them babies or toddlers. These alarming statistics have resulted in a breadth of information available for health care providers. Below is a list of resources to aid you in putting a stop to this horrific crime and to further your knowledge on how to recognize and treat victims.

Week 4 - May 24-28, 2010
Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death for adults between the ages of 18 and 65 years. It is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States with over 33,000 people dying by suicide in the United States every year. That is one death every 18 minutes and an attempted suicide every minute.
Sadly, suicide is the fifth leading cause of death among those 5-14 years old and the third leading cause of death among those 15-24 years old. Among young people age 10-14 years, the rate has doubled in the last two decades. Health care providers have a unique opportunity to assist in suicide prevention in all ages. We encourage you to review and utilize the information provided below.

Taste Addison is one of those events that you have to go to if you consider yourself a Dallasite. It's hot, it's fun, it's good old fashioned face-stuffing at it's finest. Where else can you explore the city's best restaurants all in one place all weekend long? In case you're worried about parking or crowds, don't be. The second you taste the food, you'll forget about anything else. Don't believe me? Check out this.
I mean, really. A food festival offers up this kind of cuisine? You bet your pajama jeans it does.
In fact, I am here to give personal testimony that this food is the bees knees, because I was invited to a media sneak peek of 20 participating restaurants and tasted their wares one fabulous afternoon. Not only did I sample delish dishes from places like Chamberlain's, Sherlock's, Genghis Grill, Manny's Uptown, Flippin' Out Crepes and Coffee, and May Dragon, but I got to choose my favs in a friendly little competition.

Well, well, well…a bean for the ages.
Typically, beans are not my favorite of foods. But I'll make an exception for chickpeas.
I know, I know…I've hit the pinnacle of writing when I cheerlead for a legume, but there you have it.
Historians claim that chickpeas originated aroun the Hacilar site near Burdur in Turkey around 7500 years ago. By the Bronze age, both Italy and Greece had the pulse in their diet. Nothing better represents Mediterranean food than the chickpea.
There are two common types of chickpeas: 'desi' (small, angular seeds, that are yellow, green, light brown or possibly black in color) and 'kabuli' (larger, more rounded or brain-shaped types which are normally beige/buff in color). Desi are mostly found in the Indian subcontinent, Iran, Ethiopia and parts of central America, whereas the kabuli types are commonly found throughout southern Europe, Western Asia, the Nile Valley, North Africa and South America. But there are several other varieties out there.
Chickpease are also known as garbanzo beans, garbanzo being the name used in Spanish speaking countries. The English name chickpea comes from the French chiche, which comes from the Latin cicer.
As you can guess, next on the list of food items is the chickpea. It ain't always exciting here at the Hedonist, but at least we strive for thoroughness.

The Little Beer Primer
As alluded to previously, beer grew in popularity in England and Germany around the Roman age. Primarily due to the fact that growing grapes (for wine) in either Germany or England was a tad difficult at times. The Romans thought beer barbaric, but the outlaying regions of their empire didn't really give a damn what those high-faloutin' wine drinkers from Rome thought. Wheat, hops and barley were readily accessible. Grapes were not.
Ales: Ales are pervasive in Britain. Ales were initially beer made without hops (which were not abundant in the Isles), but over the past few centuries, that has now changed. Instead, ales are now distinguised by the "top-fermenting" yeasts that work at near room temperature (50-70F). Ales are often best served warm, as their complexity of flavors come forth better in that environment. Types of "top-fermenting" beers include the following:
Bitters:Bitters are beers which are bitter or very bitter to the taste because of the addition of hops.
Brown Ale:This is a style of beer that's sweeter, darker, and less bitter than the typical American lager beer.
Pale ales:These golden brown ales are somewhat bitter and fruity.
India Pale Ale (IPA):This is a bitter, full-bodied ale that's relatively high in alcohol.
Porters:This is a dark beer with a heavy foam and a bitter flavor.
Stouts:This dark beer tastes strongly of malt and hops. Stronger than it's parent brew, Porter.
Barley wines:Barley wines are golden to amber coloured very strong and heavy top fermented beers with a fruity and malty flavour and a bitterish aftertaste. Those special beers have an alcohol level over 9%.
Alt:Sweetish to very sweet and bitterish beer with often a burnt or roasted flavour.
Lagers:Lagers are brewed with "bottom-fermenting" yeasts at much colder temperatures, 35-50F over long periods of time (months). As lager yeast can survive, metabolize, and reproduce at lower temperatures. The result is a very clean, sparkling beer. Lagers are best served at slightly cooler temperatures than ales, 40-50F. Some of the typs of lager include the following:
Bocks: Bocks are brewed in the fall when barley and hops were at their peak. It was "lagered" all winter and enjoyed in the spring at the beginning of the new brewing season. There are several typs of bocks, including-
Helles Bock – Helles Bock is an amber to light coloured, rather strong, sweety barley beer specially brewed in the spring and the summer. There are three types of Helles Bock, inlcuding Meibok (May Bock), Lentebok (Spring Bock) and Zomerbok (Summer Bock). Traditionally, Meibok was a stronger beer than the standard brew, because it was brewed before the summer and the quality of the beer had to be able to endure the summer temperature rises. The alcohol was used as a preservative. Meibok is amber to light in colour, rather strong, and usually somewhat sweet. Summerbocks are usually lighter and more bitter.
Dunkles Bock – Dunkles Bock, the original German bock-style, refers to a heavy low fermentation beer with a dark colour. There are several sub caetgories of Dunkles Bock, including Herfstbok, Winterbok, Dubbelbok and Tarwebok. The Herfstbok is the traditional German bock-style, the Winterbok is a much stronger and sweeter version, a Tarwebok is a variety where not only barley but also wheat is used to brew the beer. This results in a less heavier, less sticky beer.
Doppelbocks:A doppelbock is a stronger version of the Herfstbok mentioned above.
Märzen/Oktoberfest: A bottom fermented beer with a copper-reddish-brown color traqditionally brewed in March and April, and then stored in refrigeration for several months in order to be consumed at Oktoberfest.
Pilsners:Probably the most widely known in America, Pilsner is a light low fermentation beer with a taste ranging from neutral to bitter. Substyles of pilsener are export, luxe and dry beers.
Taste: Although types of beers will have similar characteristics, they all will have a taste that is unique to themselves. Guinness Stout does not taste like other stouts. A Taddy Porter will not taste like an Elysian Brewery Porter.
In fact, there will be differences in how the beer is served. Draught (Draft) beer will taste different from bottled, which will taste different from canned (which should be your order of preference …draft, bottled, and then…god help you…canned). And if you have a truly artisan brewery, the taste of the brew may vary from keg to keg, depending on when it was brewed and how long it has been tapped. It's when your local brewery is at this level that they really can start competing with wine as a beverage of choice. When they quality of the barley harvest affects the taste of your beer, each brew becomes it's own entity. And you can hang out with your wine snob friends and while partaking of your favorite brew, say "While this is a smooth drink, it's still doesn't carry the nuttiness of their release last fall." And your friends will nod their heads, impressed.
And somewhere, the snobs of ancient Rome will be turning in their grave. After all, your still drinking a barbarian drink after all.


text: Baking soda and baking powder are only as good as their freshness when it comes to baking in the kitchen. Used to leaven everything from cakes and biscuits to doughnuts and waffles (like Jackie Kennedy's waffle recipe, which can be found below), they're the ingredients that help a dough rise as it bakes. And like any ingredient, they can lose their effectiveness as they age, and there's nothing worse than having a cake fail because the ingredients weren't any good.

Our primary operational areas are divided into three regions - D11, D13 and JIAFTW. During D13 patrols, we operate off the Oregon and Washington coast out to usually no more than 200 nautical miles. Our main emphasis while on D13 patrols is enforcing living marine resource laws and regulations (fisheries). D11 patrols focus on detecting and interdicting drug and migrant smuggling activity along the Southern California coast and the Northern to Central West Coast of Mexico. JIATFW patrols are strictly counter-drug operations along the West Coast of Central and Southern Mexico and Central America. Another region we may be called upon to assist is D17 for Alaska fisheries enforcement; STEADFAST has not patrolled in D17 in the last four years.

Movie Summary | Infoplease.com
Pride (2007)
Description: The year is 1973, and Jim Ellis, a college-educated African-American, can't find a job. Driven by his love of competitive swimming, Jim converts an abandoned recreational pool hall in a Philadelphia slum with the help of Elston, a local janitor. But when city officials mark the new Philadelphia Department of Recreation for demolition, Jim fights back--by starting the city's first African-American swim team. Recruiting troubled teens from the streets, Jim struggles to transform a motley team of novices into capable swimmers--all in time for the upcoming state championships. But as racism, violence and an unsympathetic city official threaten to tear the team apart, Jim must do everything he can to convince his swimmers that victory, both in and out of the pool, is within their reach.

Tenth Annual Graduate Student Symposium for Japanese Studies, May 3, 2003.
The myth of a single, homogeneos Japanese people continues to be challenged. Marginalized voices have been raised within Japan by the disabled, feminists, lesbians, Koreans, Ainu, "burakumin," and followers of new religions, among others. Historically, how have such people expressed difference, or experiences of oppression or supression? How do their voices continue to be manifested in areas such as literature, religion art, and law? In what ways are they silenced, supressed, ignored, or altered?

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The buzz is building for the new novel "HORRORSCOPE," the debut fictional story to be released by H Infinity Books, which is launching its formation with the hardcover and E-Book.
Written by a trio of authors, the story is about a psychic who is forced by the mafia to tell predictions for them that keep their criminal plans intact. When the mob feels she did them wrong with a false prediction, the mob orders a hit on the woman. Her death causes a physical manifestation of the signs of The Zodiac, who then seek revenge for her death.
"What is truly fascinating is that there has never been a movie made where the Zodiac signs come to life, and we believe "HORRORSCOPE" will end up being that and more," says H Infinity executive Enrique M. Grullon. "It's The Soprano's meets Harry Potter and I think everyone can agree that Hollywood is in need for a truly original story, and "HORRORSCOPE" is most definitely that. There's simply nothing like it. We've been approached by Oscar winning actors and actresses seeking a copy of this book."
The book will be available as an E-Book as well on Amazon Kindle, IBook, Barnes & Noble, and everywhere else that books are sold on March 15th. It debuts in Hardcover, and pre-sale orders are being taken at www.hinfinitybooks.com. The book will also be released as an audiobook.

Post subject: Question from a Newbie about costuming standards
Hi everyone! I'm working on my first costume (generic Old Republic Jedi) to be able to join the Legion. I have a couple of questions.
I am looking at a pre-made Luke Skywalker lightsaber replica from Ep V, this has the D-ring on the end of it. I know that some of the old republic specific costumes call for the covertec cell phone holder, but I didn't see that listed under generic Jedi. Will the D-ring lightsaber on a proper belt clip fulfill the lightsaber requirement? Do I need a lightsaber that will light up like an FX saber, or is just the hilt enough for costuming standards?
I hope to have all of the costume parts before October so I can join the group.
A little about me, I'm from Burlington, NC. I'm a 35 year old single dad to an awesome 9 year old. I share custody of him with his mom. I am a retired Detective with the local Sheriff's Office, retired in 2006 due to a knee injury. I am back in school now majoring in Anthropology and Archaeology. I am active in my local Masonic Lodge, as well as the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Greensboro. I look forward to joining you guys and getting involved.

Hi Michael,
Welcome! We look forward to you joining us.
I know Charybdis will be along to also answer your questions but let me answer one I know for certain. You do NOT need a lighted blade or even a blade to be approved as formal. You just need the hilt.
For the Old Republic Jedi you do need a covertec as far as I know. The folks in the Jedi forum would probably be a good source of that info.
Where are you going to school? My stepdaughter was studying Anthro at ECU.

Hi Jada,
I'm at UNCGreensboro. Majoring more on the Archaeology side, since it is a subdiscipline of Anthropology, with the way they have it set up I can do the major in Anthro with the concentration in Archaeology, and add the second major in Archaeology with only one or two extra classes, and they can serve as electives, so in and out in the same number of class hours, but two degrees.
I tried researching some more on the belt clip, and I saw where the character specific costumes required, but not on the generic. That is my biggest question. Just trying to figure out if I go with the saber I'm looking at, do i need to add a knob to hook it to the clip or can I use the d-ring and it's belt clip.

Ahh, Jada, you know me so well!!!
Hi Michael, welcome to Blue Ridge Base... I'm no costume judge, but generally speaking, Old Republic jedi must have a covertec clip. They are relatively cheap and can be found if you look for them. Here is the standard for the Old Republic Jedi:
Generic Jedi
1. Earth tones meaning browns or any shade of brown outer tunic
2. Earth tone tabards (must extend below obi in front - aprox 1/2 way between obi & bottom of outer tunic / can end at obi in rear)
3. Earth tone obi/sash
4. Belt with a wide leather main belt
with a covertec (or similar
), thinner secondary belt on top of the main belt, and a buckle. Thinner secondary belt cannot be loose or "sag". No black belts accepted.
5. Lightsaber(No toy sabers)
6. Brown Boots (leather, suede, pleather) must rise at least to the calf, but not above the knee. No rubber boots or black boots allowed. No visible laces.
7. Pants or skirt
8. No visible t-shirts
As for the lightsaber, you can definitely get by with just the hilt and not the FX, or you can go with the FX and no hilt (but it's good to have both since you really need that blade effect for the kids and then when they're gone, you can switch to carrying the hilt on your belt).
I say, get that nice Luke saber but also get the covertec to place on your jedi belt. The costume judge will see that you have the clip and that will be that!

Thanks! I have one of the "build your own" FX sabers that I can use to have the blade on, I'm just looking for a good hilt to hang from the belt. I'll grab the covertec or I saw a clip on one website that was made for both that style and had the hook piece for a D ring all on one clip.
Thanks for all the advice guys, I look forward to being a member when I get all the other stuff squared away, and keep me posted on things in the state, and I will start looking through my Masonic networks for events we might be able to participate in, I know we do many benefits for children all over the state.

Tills jingle as Manic Monday hits shops and supermarkets in Bradford
5:00am Tuesday 24th December 2013 in News
Supermarket shoppers experienced the most frantic minute of the year yesterday morning, according to one chain.
Research by Bradford-based Morrisons suggested that 11.44am on December 23 would be the busiest time of the year, with 45 trolleys per second expected to be going through its checkouts.
Nationally, the chain extended opening hours, pulled head office staff onto the shop floor and offered overtime to cope with demand in December. For the first time this year Morrisons stores will also open on Boxing Day.
At the company's Westgate store, customers were queuing about ten deep at 11.44am.
General manager Mick Preston said: "It's been very good."
He said there had been no issues with stock running low and he expected shoppers to leave satisfied.
"It will be manic like this all day tomorrow too," he added."
Meanwhile city centre traders have also reported a pre-Christmas boost.
The manager of the Kirkgate Shopping Centre Catherine Riley said it had been "extremely busy" .
According to research by TSB, Yorkshire is going local this year with nearly two thirds of people choosing to shop at small independent outlets and local Christmas markets. This compares with 41 per cent of Yorkshire's shoppers who will do their shopping at high street chains and a third who will travel to shopping centres.
Director and co-owner of Table Decor, an independent homeware and gift shop, Chris Bexon said: "The most popular gifts this year are small 'pick me-up' gifts.
"People are very conscious of monetary problems and want to get more for their money."
Other independent businesses have also noticed the decrease in people buying bigger items and looking for smaller gifts that are affordable and different.
Debbie Wood owns a small souvenir business and this year has taken on a new six-week project, #Shop1, selling goods from 14 local businesses.
She said: "I've sold a lot of fair trade gifts."
And today could be busier still with a report suggesting 17.5 million people will hit stores on Christmas Eve.

Elizabethton Twins bus involved in fatal crash9:43 am | June 18, 2013
A collision on a Florida interstate involving the charter bus carrying the Minor League local affiliate, the Elizabethton Twins, claimed the life of a vehicle's driver who was reportedly travelling the wrong way.
Twins General Manager and Elizabethton Park and Recreation department head Mike Mains confirmed that the crash happened at approximately 4 a.m. Tuesday as 34 players and three staff members were riding to Tennessee from Fort Myers, Fla., where the Major League Twins hold spring training camp.
Mains and Florida media outlets reported that the car was driving the wrong way on Interstate 295 near Jacksonville, Fla., and the bus driver tried, but could not avoid a collision.
"We're grateful no one was injured on the bus, and our prayers go out to the family of the other driver," Mains said.
He said the players are still expected to arrive in Elizabethton today, and will still conduct events scheduled for Wednesday.

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 4, Folder 1, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
Speech by Ambassador Mike Mansfield
Before the
Asia-Pacific Economic Symposium
June 25, 1986
Prime Minister Nakasone (unconfirmed), Dr. Hu, Mr.
Gotoh, Mr. Morita, distinguished fellow participants:
First let me congratulate the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on
its llOth year of publication, and thank it -- along with
its co-sponsors (The Asian Wall Street Journal, Australian
Financial Review, The Globe and Mail, Joong-ang Daily
News, Singapore Straits Times, and The New Straits Times
of Malaysia) -- for organizing this symposium.
As some of you may know, I have said for many years
~ that the next century will be the "Century of the
Pacific". It is a major theme of discussion in my~
meetings with U.S. business leaders and U.S. government
officials who visit Japan. I am not a fan of the narrow,
parochial view; I believe we must look at the whole
picture. And while I would never retreat from my
statement that the u.s.-Japan relationship is the most
important bilateral relationship in the world -- bar none,
I would never consider that statement to be a limitation.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 4, Folder 1, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
For Japan and America are integral parts of the Pacific
Basin, a region of magnificent promise, and we have
responsibilities to fulfill.
The Pacific Basin encompasses over half of the
world's population-- all of ASEAN, all of North America,
Central America, four nations of South America, n""FCl'l'east
Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the island republics of
Oceania. It is fast growing, maturing both economically
and politically, taking strength from the diversity of its
peoples, and playing an increasingly significant role in
~w~ ~ ~~~ .........
world affairs • . ~4\where it all is, what it's all
about, and where the future lies. There is no doubt in my
mind about this.
U.S. interest in the Pacific Basin is the natural
outgrowth of both domestic trends and external realities.
For several years now the focus of the United States, as
the largest economy in the region, has been shifting
rapidly westward across our country toward this part of
the world.
To illustrate: Ten years ago the u.s. had only $42
billion in total two-way trade with East Asia. Last year,
in 1985, our two-way trade with East Asia came to nearly
$189 billion a 350 percent increase in only a decade.
The western and northwestern states of California,
Washington, and Oregon, for example, have had two-way
- 2 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 4, Folder 1, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
trade with East Asia worth $58 billion, $10 billion,
and $5 billion, respectively, in 1985. In recent years,
u.s. trade with East Asia has surpassed our trade with
Western Europe, historically and traditionally our largest
trading partner as a region. The Pacific Basin also takes
on more geographic importance to us as our own population
shifts to the South and to the West.
We are also well aware that on the average, the
nations of East Asia have the fastest growing economies of
any region in the world. The rates of return on u.s.
direct investment here are for the most part the highest
anywhere, and although our direct investment position here
accounts for only about 10 percent of our total direct
investment abroad, it is increasing, and I expect these
increases will continue.
The economic future also looks very promising for the
Pacific Basin nations, if an open, healthy international
trading system -- which has contributed so much to the
growth of the region can be maintained. Trade
imbalances among the nations of the region have been
causing considerable friction recently, but I am confident
that these frictions can be resolved. There will be some
short-term sacrifices required, to be sure, but the
long-term benefits should far outweigh them.
- 3 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 4, Folder 1, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
Essentially what is needed to resolve present trade
problems is more trade, not less trade. The Reagan
Administration continues to oppose protectionism as a
means of settling trade imbalances. Trade protectionism
simply will not work. We need further market openings,
further market opportunities, in all areas of the Pacific
Basin. Protectionism -- the closing of markets, and the
suspicion and retaliation it breeds -- is a collective
step backward for the nations affected, and that we do not
Japan, as the second largest economy in the region
and the free world, also recognizes the vital importance
of the Pacific Basin. Japan's two-way trade with East
Asia and North America last year amounted to nearly $200
billion. There has been increasing Japanese private
investment and official development assistance in the
region, and no doubt Japan will continue to play an active
role in the Pacific Basin economy.
As the two largest economies, the United States and
Japan share the realization that each can especially
contribute to the growth and stability of the Pacific
region. The Maekawa Report on Economic Structural
Adjustment provides excellent suggestions for how Japan
can make an even greater contribution to world prosperity
as an economic leader.
- 4 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 4, Folder 1, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
As that Report --issued this past April -- noted, it
is now time for Japan to adjust its economy away from its
over-dependence on exports, to an economy based on
domestic-led growth. This is imperative if Japan is to
make a contribution to world economic growth -- through
increased Japanese imports -- commensurate with its
economic strength, and commensurate with the economic
benefits it derives from international trade. Japan's
$61.6 billion global trade surplus in fiscal 1985 is
unfortunately ample evidence that the actual contribution
to net growth is far from being a reality.
In commenting on the Maekawa Report, Prime Minister
Nakasone expressed the Japanese Government's awareness of
the necessity to initiate and carry through structural
adjustment in Japan's economy. He committed Japan to that
To quote the Prime Minister, "Japan is now at an
historic turning point in its relations with the
international economic community .••.. It should be our
national goal to steadily reduce the current account
imbalance to one consistent with international harmony".
We of the Pacific Basin are counting on Japan to make good
on this commitment, thereby making a solid contribution to
the health of the global trade system.
- 5 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 4, Folder 1, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
But structural change in the Japanese economy will of
course take time: it will not be an easy task.
Nevertheless, it is essential that Japan design and
implement policies that will move it toward more
domestic-led growth as rapidly as possible. Japan has a
major role to play in promoting the economic growth and
general stability of the entire Pacific region through
increased imports.
But I did not come here to lecture you on what just
the Japanese should do. Indeed, there is plenty that the
United States should do.
The United States, as the world's largest economy,
also has a responsibility to continue contributing to
growth in the Pacific Basin. I say "continue", because we
have long been the major market for the region's exports
in the post-war period. Without the access to the U.S.
market that other nations have enjoyed, and the strong
growth in the u.s. economy which has pulled in imports
from others, it is doubtful the nations of Asia could have
recovered as quickly as they have from the devastation of
the Pacific war.
Despite the domestic pressure for trade protectionism
that has grown along with our expanding trade deficits, we
must keep our markets open. We must keep our markets open
so that the nations of the Pacific -- especially the
- 6 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 4, Folder 1, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
lesser developed nations -- can continue to grow and
prosper. As I said, it is the healthy, open international
trade system which has been responsible for the rapid
growth of this region in the post-war period. It is
imperative that we all work together to keep the system
open. And the United States will do its part.
There are areas, however, that require cooperative
For example, there are challenges before us in the
area of scientific advances. More timely technology
transfer from the most developed to the newly-developed
and lesser-developed nations is needed, if they are to
share more fully in the benefits of the scientific age.
Technology transfers should be designed to enhance the
quality of life, as well as to develop domestic resources,
so that the recipient nations can become more competitive
in the international marketplace -- and more
But cooperation in the technology field should not be
limited to transfers of technology from one nation to
another. The nations of the region should assist each
other in jointly developing their own technologies. We
should see more international cooperation in science and
technology research and development. Instead of an
importer of technology from the rest of the world, the
- 7 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 4, Folder 1, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
Pacific Basin is becoming a source of technology for the
rest of the world. This trend should continue.
The natural resources of the Pacific Basin are vast,
and we should all work together in their development. As
we all front the Pacific Ocean, this is one area of great
potential for cooperative ventures. I would also like to
see the great resources of our own Alaska -- particularly
its energy resources made available for development of
the Pacific region. I have long advocated lifting
congressional restrictions on the sale of Alaskan oil
outside the United States, and I continue to do so.
Trade, of course, is another area in which we must
cooperate. As I said earlier, we simply must keep trade
in the region as free and open as possible. Free trade is
the lifeline of the Pacific Basin, and we cannot allow it
to be weakened or cut. I would like to see active support
for an early start to a new GATT trade round, to address
across the board the many trade issues before us. In the
absence of positive action to keep the international trade
system open, we risk leaving our fates to the deleterious
effects of gradual protectionist encroachment and sheer,
stagnating inertia.
Let us not forget the vast human resources -- the
minds, talents, and skills of our countries. Our
peoples deserve to have every educational, training, and
- 8 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 4, Folder 1, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
professional opportunity open to them. I would urge the
Pacific Basin countries, following a program initiative
for manpower resource development, to promote regional
centers for cultural and educational exchange. Academic
scholarships, visiting performing arts groups,
apprenticeships or internships, and advanced research
grants will go a long way in building the human bridges
that any community of nations needs.
The People's Republic of China is the largest nation
in the Pacific Basin, and has embarked on a path of
pragmatic economic development. We hope that it will more
fully integrate its economy into that of the rest of the
Pacific Basin, creating constructive economic
relationships for the benefit of us all. A cooperative
relationship between China and the nations of the Pacific
in the 21st century is one of the most exciting and
essential elements of a prosperous Asia.
In the meantime we must renew our commitment to
continue on the road of economic cooperation and free
trade. We are economically interdependent, and it is
clearly to our peoples' benefit that quality commodities
and products move between trading partners smoothly and
promptly-- and at a minimal cost to the consumer. There
is no real alternative, other than economic stagnation and
- 9 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 4, Folder 1, Mansfield Libary, University of Montana
Let me salute ASEAN as a model of regional
cooperation. By working together, the ASEAN nations are
achieving new prosperity. By standing together, they are
resolutely opposing the occupation of Cambodia by
Vietnam. By word and deed, they are demonstrating the
vitality of free peoples to those who would deny that
There will be other problems along the way, but I am
confident about the future of the Pacific Basin. It is
here that we find the most favorable prospects for
continued economic growth and democratic maturation. If
we cooperate and work together, the 21st century will
indeed be the "Century of the Pacific".
You, as the bankers, financial advisors, business
leaders, government administrators, can help make this a
reality. And then the image evoked by the words of a
well-known American song -- ''from sea to shining sea"
will have a new meaning. It will be the Pacific Basin's
shining sea.

Related to artichokes, daisies, and sunflowers, milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been a popular healing agent for more than 2,000 years. Its seeds contain a variety of substances called silymarins, of which silibinin has been a topic of research lately.
Love Your Liver
"Our modern environment is full of stressful chemicals [including] food additives and pesticides," says third-generation herbalist Christopher Hobbs, LAc.
As a primary organ of detoxification, the liver takes plenty of hits. Silymarins in milk thistle extract (MTE) not only enhance the liver's detoxification capacity but also protect the liver by keeping toxins out of its cells.
MTE protects the liver by scavenging free radicals, inhibiting oxidation of fats, and reducing the development of fibrous tissue in the liver. In addition to milk thistle's preventive powers, clinical trials show that concentrated MTE benefits people with chronic inflammatory liver disease, cirrhosis of the liver, and toxic liver damage. Germany's Commission E (roughly comparable to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) concludes this herb is safe and effective for "toxic liver damage and for supportive treatment in chronic inflammatory liver disease and hepatic cirrhosis."
Additional therapeutic monographs by the World Health Organization also cite the therapeutic value of MTE.
"Every person with hepatitis C should consider silymarin" advises Donald J. Brown, ND, although it's critical to work with an experienced healthcare provider for treatment.
In addition to its strong antioxidant effect, milk thistle increases RNA synthesis in helping to rebuild liver tissue. "Furthermore, the liver is an important organ in the digestion of fat, which is usually overabundant in the modern diet," Hobbs adds.
Milk thistle lowers cholesterol, preventing artery-blocking plaque and lowering the cholesterol content of bile—important in the prevention of gallstones. It also appears to raise levels of HDL (good) cholesterol.
More Protection
Milk thistle also supports the kidneys in ways that "closely mirror the herb's effects on the liver," researchers report. For example, silymarins stimulate protein synthesis and cell regeneration in the kidneys as well as the liver. This herb also appears to improve blood sugar control in Type 2 diabetes.
Both in vitro and in vivo research suggests that milk thistle may prevent and possibly help treat a variety of cancers. Experimental studies show the following benefits from milk thistle:
- inhibits prostate cancer cells
- reduces the frequency of drug-induced colon adenocarcinomas
- inhibits growth and enhances regression of skin tumors with topical application
- slows growth and DNA synthesis in breast and cervical cancer cells
- inhibits proliferation of leukemia cells and possibly even lung cancer
- helps lower the incidence of bladder neoplasms.
The latest research suggests that silibinin is a potent antioxidant that modulates the insulin-like growth factor system, as well as potentially fighting the spread of cancer. This herb may even help relieve inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.
Milk thistle also appears to offer neuroprotective benefits. Some herbalists report its positive effects on carpal tunnel (repetitive stress) syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and myalgias.
How to Use MTE
Because silymarin is not well absorbed in the digestive tract, most scientific studies use a concentrated extract standardized to contain 70 to 80 percent of this substance. While both clinical experience and research suggest that improvement can occur in as early as eight weeks, no one should ever attempt to self-diagnose or self-treat liver disease.

I have been working at Match.com full-time
Pros – Working at Match.com has provided the opportunity to work with some of the smartest minds, Match.com has some of the best minds in the area working for the company and it has been a great experience. Working for Match.com, you will have the opportunity to work with people from very different backgrounds and cultures, it is very diverse. It also provides great opportunity to move up within the company, opportunities to expand your knowledge and very supportive with expanding your education within this industry. Match.com cares about work-life balance which is so important in the day in age. They are very flexible when it comes to family issues that require your attention. Important Medical, Dental and Life benefits are exceptional and among the best I have had access to in my career.
Cons – One of the downsides of working for a leading internet company, can be the number of hours. While work-life balance is important, depending on the project being worked on at the time, you could be working 60+ hours a week. Now, this is not all of the time, but some projects just require extra time and effort to do it right. I have to say that it is all worth it to see a large project you worked on, gave everything you have including working late nights affect the business in a positive manner. You get a sense of being proud you were part of that.
Advice to Senior Management – Communicate down more often. It feels like sometimes things are communicated on a need to know basis which isn't always the best for morale. We have really great teams working for us, and these teams will basically do anything it takes to get the job done, and done right. Knowing what the bigger picture is, what the ultimate goal is makes them feel like they are part of and very important to that bigger picture.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

USA Train Vacations
America's rolling prairies, plains, and towering mountain peaks paint the picturesque backdrop for a USA train vacation. Add to that landscape bustling metropolises, expansive national parks, and acclaimed historic sites and attractions, and it's easy to see why the United States is a perfect destination for a train trip.
The beauty of a vacation by rail is it begins the moment you step aboard the train. Settle into your cozy onboard accommodations and leave the driving to someone else as you travel deep into unspoiled natural beauty. Admire the passing scenery from your seat or the train's observation lounge. Enjoy a hot meal in the dining car or the café, read a book, or listen to music as the train crisscrosses the country. While many of our independent and escorted train vacations include overnight travel aboard an iconic long-distance train, there is a great selection that solely feature excursions aboard day trains that are just as historic including vintage trains like the Grand Canyon Railway as well as scenic tourist trains like Colorado's Durango & Silverton and New England's Cape Cod Central Railroad.
Each train vacation incorporates an iconic train journey into a well-planned itinerary that also includes visits to popular destinations, comprehensive sightseeing, and more. Choose from rail trips in Alaska, popular Coast to Coast train vacations, fall foliage tours, or visits to America's national parks by train. With more than 100 vacations in the United States alone, you're sure to find the perfect itinerary.

The following audio was recorded on June 28, 2011.
Address by Stewart A. Baker 6-28-11
Running Time: 01:01:27
[ Full Audio]
Both President Bush and President Obama directed comprehensive reviews of America's cyber security strategy. The current Cyberspace Policy Review concludes that cyber security poses some of the most serious economic and national security challenges of the 21st Century. The challenges include cyber warfare, cyber terrorism, cyber espionage, cyber attacks on defense facilities, critical infrastructure and private companies, and cyber theft of personal data. They give rise to complex and interconnected legal and policy issues, in areas such as the law of armed conflict, privacy and the scope of regulation, which will be addressed at this symposium. The International and National Security Law Practice Group presented this panel at a conference on Cyber Security, National Security and Economic Security on June 28, 2011.
Luncheon Address

Are you guilty of emotional sabotage?
Fred: Did you pick up my dry cleaning?
Ingrid (in a mocking tone): "Did you pick up my dry cleaning?" Pick up your own damn dry cleaning. What am I, your maid?
Fred: Hardly. If you were a maid, at least you'd know how to clean.
During that exchange, Fred's and Ingrid's physiology quickly becomes disorganized. (I imagine that their heart rate variability would also be very chaotic, though this was not measured in the Love Lab.) The effects on the relationship are disastrous.
With compelling arguments, Dr. Gottman defines this type of negative situation as featuring the "four horsemen of the apocalypse," four attitudes that wreak havoc in all the relationships that they encounter on their passage. These conveyed attitudes activate the emotional brain of the other person to such an extent that the other party can only respond with meanness or else withdraw like a wounded animal. If we rely on the four horsemen for communication, we are literally assured of not getting what we desire out of the relationship, yet we almost always call these warriors up to the front of our emotional battles.
The first horseman is criticism, criticizing someone's character instead of simply stating a grievance. An example of a criticism: "You're late again. You only think of yourself." A grievance would be: "It's nine o'clock. You said you would be here at eight. It's the second time this week. I'm lonely and upset when I wait for you like this."Criticism: "I'm fed up with picking up your clothes. Your messiness is exasperating!" Grievance: "When you leave your things all over the kitchen, it bothers me. In the morning when I'm having my coffee, I need order around me to feel good. Could you try to pick up at night before you go to bed?"
Dr. Gottman gives an infallible recipe for changing a legitimate grievance with a good chance of being heard into a criticism certain to spark resentment, ill will, and a virulent counterattack. All you need to do is tack on a scornful, "What's wrong with you?"
What is so surprising about these observations is how obvious they are. We all know exactly how we don't like to be treated. It is hard for us, on the other hand, to say exactly how we would like to be treated. Yet, our gratitude immediately overflows when someone addresses us in an emotionally intelligent manner.

Here are three items that top my CME wish list of things that would move our industry forward.
1. Let's get a final ruling on commercial support.
Published studies suggest that commercially funded CME does not lead to bias, yet we continue to debate the topic. Academic institutions, as well as many private and public healthcare organizations, rely on commercial support to help them achieve their missions of providing high-quality healthcare for the public. Would healthcare truly be enhanced without such support? In troubled economic times, can we honestly afford to rely solely on government- and physician-funded CME models in the absence of commercial support?
Appropriately used and disclosed commercial support is vital to our industry. With existing guidelines in place to regulate its use, endless debate about its necessity only serves to distract us from the vital task at hand: developing high-quality education for the betterment of patients. Let's end the discussion once and for all with a unified stance in favor of continued commercial support for CME.
2. Get youth in leadership positions.
During CME conferences, the current leadership frequently tells newcomers, "One day, you'll be the leaders of our industry." Let's bring that day closer to reality now. Young, fresh opinions can provide a differing perspective and offer some recommendations that may not have been previously considered. From iPhone apps to Facebook and Twitter, the latest technology is being developed by Gen Xers and Yers.
What better time than now to have these important voices at the CME decision-making table, facilitating discussions about the future of CME? It would be a welcome and important gesture for the current leaders to reach out to some up-and-comers and nominate them for board positions, and then help them grow into the leaders who will help shape our future.
3. Accept Reality CME
In our quest for what should be, are we losing sight of what is—and is still very good? The reality is that staffing cuts and reduced funding continue to put economic strains on many organizations. While our collective goals are, rightly, performance improvement, not every provider has the resources to accomplish the PI task, and funders who request it are not always willing to pay for it. What's more, not every activity in each therapeutic area is appropriate to demonstrate PI. While PI is important, before physicians improve their clinical behavior, they must first overcome knowledge gaps. Activities that demonstrate changes in knowledge and competence, therefore, are still vital, cost-effective components of a comprehensive educational curriculum. Let's continue support of these activities as we advance toward PI‑CME.
And Now, a Fond Farewell
Since 2006, I've been privileged to share my observations, opinions, and recommendations in this column. I have decided to take a break from writing for a while. My wish is to provide others (hopefully some newbies) with the same opportunity I was afforded: a chance to have a public voice to provide new insights about CME. Many of you have e-mailed me, called me, or stopped to chat with me at conferences and provide some feedback on my articles. I am truly grateful for this, and for having such an extraordinary opportunity to share what I have learned and continue to learn about this exciting industry.

Long, soft, loose waves are perfect for a romantic date. If your hair is long, the look is easy to achieve with the right products, tools, and techniques. You'll need a volumizing mousse, a heat protecting spray, and hair spray. You'll also need some clips, a great hair dryer, a large barreled, clip-less curling iron, and a large round brush. Practice these simple steps so that you can get your hair looking simply gorgeous for next great date.
Start with damp hair. Apply your volumizing mousse and blow dry for volume. You may want to create a deep side part while blow drying. If your hair is straight, turn your head upside down and blow dry the roots, being careful not to hold the blow dryer too close. Then, stand upright and use a large, round brush, to blow dry a small section at a time. Keep the look volumized but sleek. If your hair is curly or wavy, use a large round brush to dry the roots straight, and the ends mostly straight. Always blow dry down the hair shaft - from the root towards the ends - to avoid roughing up the cuticle and keep hair from looking frizzy and dull. If your hair is extremely curly, you may need to allow it to air dry and then flat iron before proceeding. Style bangs so that they are flicked over to the side.
Apply a heat protectant spray to your tresses. This is really important to protect your hair! Clip all your hair up, except for a one inch tall section along the nape of the next. Use a clip-less curling iron for this style. Wrap a one inch wide section of hair around the curling iron from the mid-strand to the end, being extremely careful not to burn yourself. Use a heat protecting glove if possible. Hold for a count of about twenty seconds. Use the lowest heat setting that works on your hair for the shortest amount of time possible to avoid burning or singing the hair. When that section is complete, spray it lightly with an aerosol type hair spray. Allow it to cool and dry before moving on to the next section.
Keep curling. Continue working in small sections from the nape to the top of the head until all the hair is curled. Spray lightly and allow all the curls to cool and set. Gently rake your fingers through the curls to soften the look.
Tips to try. To avoid looking like you have perfectly matched spiral curls, try a curling iron that is skinny on one end and wide on the other. Or use two different curling irons, of two different sizes, to randomly alter the size of the curls. The larger the iron, and the less time on the curling iron, the softer the waves. Remember to practice your style ahead of time so that you know if you like it and so you know exactly how long it will take you to get ready. When you're all set, give your hair an extra spritz of hair spray and your hair will look great for your date!

Great All Around Spa Services – I love going to Sapphire. I used to go to another big spa locally, but the atmosphere was not as warm and I felt like just another number. At Sapphire, they are always warm and friendly, willing to do what I want. I get my hair done here (had one bad experience and they went out of their way to make it better). I also get my facials here. I would recommend Sapphire to everyone!
I had to forgive and move on – I originally wrote this really long rant about this salon but have decided to just forgive and move on. Too much energy expended on being upset.

Buying a new scale?
(I've got 5 quid on 106 pounds)
Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?

Buying a new scale?
(I've got 5 quid on 106 pounds)
You're betting 5 against 106? Them's some good odds.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
I think I/we have a 50 pound credit from last week. I'm feeling rich.
To get back on topic, briefly, how much snow and ice are we talking about, on the elliptical?

The SEC does this because it can. The conference has expanded to 14 schools but still plays only an eight-game league schedule. That gives the SEC unusual flexibility and allows its schools to essentially schedule an extra victory every year.
That does not mean the SEC is not a good conference. Actually, it's still ranked by most as the best from top to bottom.
It does open the SEC to outside criticism, although this year Auburn and Kentucky are so bad they might get challenged by Alabama A&M and Samford.
Some people think Mumford (& Sons) could hang with this Kentucky team for a quarter.
Q: I saw that [Brian] Kelly interview, and he did not actually say "stoop so low" as to campaign for his own team. That was your editorial add-on. And what's wrong with voting his team No. 1 in the coaches' poll?
Jason Arado
Arlington Heights
A: If you liked that editorial "add-on" you should see the bedroom I converted into a home office. I have no problem with coaches advocating for their own teams, but don't you think it's a tad telling that Brian Kelly is the only coach in the USA Today poll voting Notre Dame No. 1?
You think all those other coaches have a special attachment to Oregon and Kansas State?
Or, maybe, the sports information directors who vote in place of most coaches took into account Notre Dame's triple-overtime win over a Pittsburgh team that lost the next week to Connecticut.
Kelly also started campaigning for his school a week after he said he would not campaign for his school, but that's OK, too. The BCS system by design puts coaches in awkward and duplicitous positions.
Q: Keep your volleyball, swimming and water polo titles and the SEC will continue to dominate football.
Ric Etheridge
A: That's a deal. And you can keep Starkville and Fayetteville and we'll keep Santa Barbara and Big Sur.
Q: So the Big Ten doesn't get a slot in the Rose this year?
Ryan Fedor
A: No, the Big Ten gets a slot no matter how much I might not want to see three- or four-loss Wisconsin out here again. I think you're confusing the Pac-12 end of the equation if Oregon is lost to the BCS title case. In that scenario, the Rose Bowl might get to replace Oregon with Notre Dame. So you could end up with Notre Dame against Wisconsin or Nebraska or even a rematch against Michigan.
Q: Interesting to think about whether Johnny Manziel or Marcus Mariota would have won the Oregon job.
Pat McCarthy
