She calls herself "the pig princess." She reads pig magazines, wears pig pins, displays a Miss Piggy doll in her office, and has a pig-shaped doorstop. "I feel very attached to these animals," says Arlene Davie, executive vice president, Travel Planners Inc., San Antonio, TX.
Davie's attachment is the result of planning a hands-on continuing medical education (CME) course in laparoscopy, involving 150 pig cadavers. She has a strong stomach and a sense of humor, which proved helpful when her staff played a prank on her during another meeting (ophthalmology) she organized that involved pig specimens.
"Someone asked me for a Diet Coke from the ice chest," she recalls. "I opened it up and found 400 pig eyes staring at me. It looked like a peep show!"
The occasional touch of gallows humor can be essential, because for most medical meeting planners, hands-on courses involving cadavers or animal specimens can be exercises in anxiety.
"I don't relax at these courses. There is always something to worry about," says Nancy Bashook, director of professional development for the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), Park Ridge, IL. "I worry about the instruments not being there, the cadavers not being in good shape, the faculty not being attentive to the participants."
Despite the potential for problems and the expensive, labor-intensive nature of these meetings, they continue to grow, driven by advances in surgical procedures and the surgeon's need to practice them.
FOLLOW YOUR NOSE "Preplanning and coordination are the most important," stresses Richard Whitworth, MD, director of postgraduate education for the Department of Anatomy at Louisiana State University's Medical Center. "There are 400,000 things that can go wrong, from being short-staffed to having a poorly trained anatomist, to not having enough instrumentation, or the wrong instrumentation," says Judy Sherr, manager of surgical skills education, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), Rosemont, IL. And that's just the beginning:
Pig specimens shipped from Philadelphia to Atlantic City got separated from their packing slip.
"It was a hot June, and by the end of three days, we found them by smell," recalls Jim Breeling, director of education for the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), Northbrook, IL. If you are not familiar with the company shipping the specimens, Breeling suggests asking for references from those who have used the company before. "With material like that, assign somebody to keep on top of it all the time. It is not like shipping boxes of paper."
Rebecca Creek, manager of the scientific assembly department, American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), Kansas City, MO, was planning a meeting that involved fresh pigs' feet. Through numerous letters and phone calls, she alerted the meat packing house of the importance that the specimens be delivered fresh, not frozen. The day of the meeting arrived . . . the meeting started . . . and still the pigs' feet had not been delivered. Finally, they arrived-frozen in a block of ice. "We were thawing out the pig's feet in the bathroom sink, in the microwave," recalled Creek. "Never again!" She now holds a preconvention meeting the night before, so she can check the specimen in case it is not prepared properly.
ORDERING, SHIPPING, AND STORING Animal specimens can often be ordered through a hotel's catering department, or a local butcher. Meeting planners should specify whether the specimen need to be fresh, frozen, or embalmed-and don't expect a catering department to do embalming! Cadavers are difficult to acquire, but can be secured through medical schools that have a body donor program. Planners need to plan for lead times of up to a year, with availability varying by region.
Along with reserving specimens in advance, precautions must be taken once they are secured. Fresh cadavers must be tested for infectious diseases. "We always caution our participants that even though the specimens have been tested, they should consider them potentially infectious," says Whitworth. At AAOS meetings where specimens are used, participants are required to sign liability waivers, says Sherr.
Even labeling is important. "You don't want to label specimens in a way that becomes a point of curiosity for the hotel staff," says Pamela McDonald, meeting planner for the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), in Birmingham, AL. "We just write 'Laboratory specimens. Do not dispose. Not for human consumption.'"
How the specimen is stored once it arrives should be specified in writing to the hotel or convention site. Poor refrigeration or handling can cause the cell structure to deteriorate, rendering the material useless. "Make the extra effort to see where the storage is," says AAFP's Pam Williams, manager of CME production and accreditation. "The butcher could have delivered specimens unfrozen, yet the hotel put them in the freezer."
COMMUNICATE WITH THE TEAM The success of these courses depends on all the players involved working as a team. In addition to the specimen supplier and shipper, these include the chairman or course director, the equipment supplier, and all relevant hotel personnel.
THE COURSE DIRECTOR: "Course directors must identify exactly what is needed in the laboratory," says the AANS's Bashook. "They are not used to thinking through every single instrument they may need for the procedures done in the course, because these things are usually taken care of for them in their practice." She also alerts the course director during the sessions when faculty members lose focus on participants.
"When surgeons come to a course like this one, they pay a lot-and expect to get attention from the experts," she says. "I see that faculty aren't wandering around. If I see a station unattended, I notify the chairman."
She arranges to have the course director unattached to any one group, so he or she is free to wander the session answering questions. She also numbers each station and gives participants specific station assignments, "rather than having them all walk into the laboratory and not know where to go."
Video coverage of the procedure, to prevent a crowd around the instructor, can also be useful.
AAOS's Sherr encourages faculty to submit step-by-step procedures, like a cookbook, giving participants a clear how-to guide. Instructors are often asked to describe procedures as they do them, with a moderator present to ask and take questions from the audience. "If attendees are straining to see or hear, it dilutes the experience," she says.
THE EQUIPMENT SUPPLIER: Most medical associations accept equipment on loan from a minimum of two companies, sometimes up to five, so they are not perceived to be endorsing a particular product or system. Equipment suppliers, for their part, are selective about to whom they'll lend. Before opting to lend equipment to a meeting, a supplier should investigate the reputation of the meeting, where it is being held, and how far ahead it has been advertised.
There are other issues, as well. "It is very important for the person coordinating the equipment to understand how many people will be there, how many people will be at each station, and how many stations are needed," says Mikki Crawley, a representative for Sofamor Danek, in Memphis, TN, a company that provides hooks, rods, and screws to approximately 70 spine-related meetings a year. Accurate counts are important. Suppliers want to send just enough equipment, because shipping costs can be high.
Equipment suppliers are also the source of information regarding the electrical needs of the equipment to be used during the course. "Different equipment requires different amperage and wattage," says Jody Gold, manager of CME program services for the AAFP.
THE HOTEL: Because of the potential for strong, offensive odors, you should select a large room with a high ceiling and a ventilation system capable of six complete air changes per hour, according to the ACCP's Breeling. The best, he says, are ventilation systems where the air comes in at the bottom and goes out at the top.
Surgical equipment can be large and heavy, so check freight elevator size and capacity before bringing it into the hotel. Some hotels are prepared to be creative about accommodating meetings using specimens. The Walt Disney World Swan in Orlando, FL, puts a popcorn machine outside the meeting room to override the smell of formaldehyde, says Jackie MacKay, the hotel's public relations representative. MacKay says meetings using cadavers must reserve the room for one additional 24-hour period after the session. "The odor must dissipate before the next group is put in the room," says MacKay.
Other standard procedures at the Dolphin: Meeting rooms are not posted, doors are re-keyed, and room temperature is kept at a chilly 62 degrees Fahrenheit.
"We advise meeting planners to remind the doctors not to run outside the meeting room in their medical garb-doctors don't think about that," says MacKay.
Everyone involved must remember that hotels, unlike hospital operating suites, are public places. "The meeting space needs to be accessible from the loading docks, so you are not involving the public in any way," says Davie.
Sam Garcia, director of convention services at the Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa, in Palm Desert, CA, meets with staff to discuss what will happen at this type of meeting. Like most hotels, his staff is not responsible for cleaning any biohazardous waste.
"It is very easy for someone to ask the staff in passing to do something. We give them specific instructions to take direction only from us," says Garcia.
Meeting planners must arrange for clean-up. "You must treat this as a clinical environment," says Sherr. "We put in writing that hotel staff is not to handle biohazardous waste. Basically, they set up the room, and their responsibility ends there." A medical waste company should be contacted to provide waste containers and to pick up the medical waste. "Act as if everything is contaminated," says Sherr.
And don't forget security: Many surgical devices are too large for repeated set-up and must stay in the room overnight-and they can also be breathtakingly expensive. If the hotel can't guarantee overnight security, hireguards.
ETHICAL ISSUES Along with logistical concerns, meeting planners often find the use of animals or cadavers bring up unexpected emotions. "One year, we used cow uteri to teach a course. That was very difficult for the staff. It seemed different from chicken gizzards or beef liver. It seemed more personal or cruel or something," says the AAFP's Creek.
Ethical issues such as this are leading planners to seek alternatives. "People stay away from [the use of] live animals because it is very difficult to use an animal in the context of a meeting and meet all of the concerns regarding animal safety and comfort," says Breeling. "It is easier and safer to teach with plastic. It keeps you out of any possible trouble."
An alternative solution to the specimens problem has been proposed by Victor Spitzer, associate professor of cellular and structural biology and radiology at the University of Colorado Medical School.
Spitzer has developed a computerized surgical simulator of a man and woman, called The Visible Human. It simulates real cadavers via 1,878 cross-section photographs (5,189 sections for the Visible Woman). Using the program, surgeons can replicate procedures on a computer screen rather than on a wet-lab table.

Theres a local park up the street from my house with 2 rinks that are never used. its got a nice playground area for the kids and restrooms and what not.
So if you ever wanted to play hockey but cant skate....heres your chance for a good old fashioned game of street hockey(or shoe hockey in some areas).
The Rink is in South OC....but free. All you bring is some shoes and maybe shin pads and/or gloves but thats all optional. Ive got some extra sticks and the rink already has nets. Im thinking a saturday or sunday afternoon in 2 or 3 weeks to give us some settup time.
Anyone interested? Great opportunity for first timers or people who always wanted to play but didnt have the equipment or skills. With the playground you can bring the family and let the kids play while you get to shoot the puck or ball around.
Mitch, Psychopuck? Are you guys in?
Also, if anyone wants to play goalie or has pads and wants to let someone else give it a go please let us know.

Anyone who has ever attempted to bring about change in an organization knows the frustration of watching good principles be ignored despite the commitment of training and funding. Although management may have committed sufficient funds and those who were trained may have intellectually accepted its concepts, no one follows through. But why—and what can be done about it?
In their article "The Neuroscience of Leadership" (Strategy + Business, May 2006), authors David Rock and Jeffery Schwartz noted the experience of change is neurologically similar to that of pain. If that's true, how do people find the motivation to change?
The answer, according to Rock and Schwartz is the discovery, realization or epiphany associated with problem solving. As their article explained, a neurological change takes place when people solve problems themselves. This realization process releases neurotransmitters in the brain establishing new links that make change appealing and less "painful."
Such findings support the idea that adult learners learn best by doing. Through the act of performing the task and demonstrating the principles in action, the trainee is solving the problem himself/herself and experiencing the neurological benefit. This is an ideal situation since successful training is that which results in a change of behavior.
Getting leaders to change
Leaders, just like everyone else, often resist change—something that's frequently reflected in how they approach organizational challenges. For example, it's rare for a senior leader to look at an organization and wonder what in his/her own behavior is allowing problems to persist.
It's not unusual, however, for leaders to look for "off the shelf" packages or programs they can purchase for their operations. This type of response has sparked many Lean, Six Sigma and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) programs—and it's also the reason why many of these programs have floundered. Sadly, leaders who don't make the effort to fully understand and embrace the principles embodied in such programs will not create appropriate expectations in day-to-day interactions with their personnel. Simply being a program sponsor is insufficient. Leaders must be the advocates for what "right" looks like.
Two key steps toward the 'stick'
To make change stick, the change agent first must get managers and executives to understand that no program will be successful if they themselves are not already trained on it. Remember: Leaders must commit to interacting with their cultures in a way that pulls the culture along with tasks, objectives and follow-up. They can't change a company's culture if their culture hasn't changed. This is the single point of failure for all programs. Leaders must be converts to programs—not merely buyers.
Second, the change agent must craft training that leads people through solving problems themselves. When people experience the principles working, they will use those principles.
Only when these things have been done will an organization have a shot at making desired changes stick. MT

What happened to the old KJ Shea?
The new karaoke guy in there sucks!
A great dive... – ...in the best sense of the word. Friendly, casual. A neighborhood hangout with excellent burgers. Only complaint is it's very smoky.
Home Away From Home – The Inn Place in Royal Oak, MI is by far my favorite little hang-out! Yes, I even drive there from Dearborn Heights because it is THIS GOOD! I absolutely love to sing karaoke and it is by far the best version of karaoke I have ever encountered . . . I can't imagine wanting a song that ISN'T on the list.........they've got it all! The food is good, generously portioned and reasonably priced . . . this goes for the drinks as well. I love the people there and the motto of "you are a stranger here but once," holds very true. After just one visit over two years ago, I have always been greeted by name, a hug and of course, a smile! I recommend this bar to anyone who loves to sing . . . karaoke is on Thursday and Saturday evenings. Even if you are just looking to grab a drink after work and "chill out" in a low-key, inviting atmosphere, please be sure to stop by the Inn Place..........even though it does get quite busy at times, you won't be disappointed! The owner, staff and patrons are all GREAT and I look forward to my next visit!!!!!
Karaoke – I used to live around the corner from this place, and it is by far my favorite bar in town. Everyone there is really friendly, and the beer is cheap!
My new favorite dive bar!!! – We went here for my birthday party. SO MUCH FUN. The kareoke was probably the coolest I've been to yet (they have it on Thursday and Saturday). The waitstaff was a blast. The place was PACKED to capacity (the weren't letting more people in after a while) and the waitstaff was still quick with our drinks and a smile to boot. Food and drinks were cheap and good. Great time!
Best karaoke entertainment in Michigan – To think just miles away in Ferndale people are getting hung up on Club Scareyoke over on woodward and 9mile... They could drive a few more miles up the road for quality. I love this place! Yes it is a small place but friendly staff, friendly people and professional karaoke. Such a change of pace.
This place rocks! – The Inn Place is the perfect destination for hanging out with friends, casual drinks with a date or simply showing up by yourself. The atmosphere is very comfortable and the staff is friendly, funny and accomodating to their guests. Entertainment includes a pool table, dartboard, online jukebox and karioke. The food menu offers classic sandwiches, soup, great burgers and diet-busters such as fried mac-n-cheese. I had a BLT that must have been the best sandwich I've had in quite some time- tripple decker even!! I highly recommend The Inn Place. My time spent there has never been disappointing (or boring!).
SATURDAY NIGHT KARAOKE WAS A BLAST!!! – My co-workers and I came out on a Saturday Night for Karaoke and weren't disappointed! The place was comfortably busy, the staff was friendly and the karaoke was slamming. It has by far, the best run karaoke set up we've ever encountered. Great monitors, totally computerized and the karaoke guy is great! The regular are really good. Bring your A game, but everyone is super supportive and nice to the newbies! Big shout out to waitress/bartender Alex! The FOX2 Crew had a blast! Can't wait to come back again!
Down-to-earth old bar to have a drink or two – The Inn Place is a Dark lil' dive bar with a "Great-for-snacking-while-drinking" menu with items like Slim Jims, Chicken Strips, French Fries, etc. The french fries were a generous portion served in a basket; they were delicious. I recommend the Reuben sandwich. Great place to go if you're looking for a down-to-earth old bar to have a drink or two.

The Occupy Movement is set to converge on St. Louis this St. Patrick's Day weekend. Representatives from Occupy St. Louis, Occupy Chicago and other regional Occupy groups will hold an Occupy The Midwest convention Thursday through Sunday. The event will include non-violent actions, meetings and workshops.
Occupy Chicago's Rachael Perrotta said the Occupy The Midwest regional convention had its roots in St. Louis, when area organizers suggested protesters should share skills, participate in actions and create a communication infrastructure to take the movement to a new level.
Perrotta said the convention's date marks the six month anniversary of Occupy Wall Street.
Return to Kiener
Occupy The Midwest kicked-off its convention Wednesday with a press conference in Kiener Plaza. Jay Kurtz Jr., a Wildwood resident, said Kiener was a special place for the local occupiers.
"For a lot of us, that [Kiener] feels like home," he said.
But the Kiener venue didn't come without problems. After the organization hanged a large sign, a parks ranger told them they had to take it down if they didn't have a permit.
Perrotta said Occupiers consider the First Amendment their permit and believe concerned citizens have the right to protest.
Traveling for Protest
Groups from across the country planned to attend the Occupy The Midwest convention. Perrotta said 18 Occupy groups from around the region have endorsed the gathering. She also expected a group from Texas to make the trek to St. Louis.
Even though outside the midwest, members of Occupy Boston had an early showing Wednesday afternoon. Mike Hipson traveled from Massachusetts to record video of different occupy groups.
Occupy supporters from St. Louis were also at the Wednesday press conference. Reese Forbes, president of the St. Louis chapter of Veterans for Peace and former Kirkwood resident, has been involved with Occupy St. Louis off and on over the past several months. He said the financial issues Occupy addresses overlap with his organization's concerns.
Making Action
Zach Chasnoff of Occupy St. Louis said the convention is planning several protest actions. One of those actions, he said, will target Creve Coeur-based .
Other actions will focus on economic and ecological issues.
Organizers indicated they will have a total of four non-violent actions during the convention. However they gave few details on the upcoming actions.
The convention began at 10 a.m. on March 15.

Tucson >Bars & Pubs >
Lounges >Kon Tiki Restaurant & Lounge
4625 E Broadway Blvd, Tucson, AZ | Directions 8571132.221970 -110.893582
Neighborhoods: Ward 6, Poets Square
Great atmosphere, terrible service – I had been looking forward to visiting Kon Tiki for some time. The theme is amazing, and walking through the door was like visiting an exotic location. I was there for a quick drink and appetizer before a movie, but nothing was quick. With only 6 other people sitting at the bar top, the bartender didn't seem to have much time for me since he was busy talking to a restaurant reviewer. (Seriously, haha!) The drinks were almost syrupy, they were so fruity and sweet. I ordered the fried shrimp appetizer, which was 4 pieces of shrimp for $6.50. My date ordered the 12 piece wings for $12 and was given cheap, chewy chicken. Possibly the worst wings I've tried in Tucson. We had to wave the bartender down for refills on our empty glasses, and it was difficult getting the check. For 2 fruity drinks, a bottle of beer, and our gross appetizers, the bill came to $35. It wasn't worth $10 and I would never return.
Best place for everything – The best place to get numerous drinks and fantastic food the manager is the best at what he does
Friday Happy hour, good luck finding a table – I like coming here, the food is good, the conversation is good and the atmosphere is dark.
The drinks will knock you out, literally. The wait staff is extremely busy. be prepared to, wait about 15 minutes before having someone greet you. People watching hilarious to see, girls overdress and tring to walk around trying to schmooze and steal a chair.
This is the place to be after work. But if you are really thirsty, and hungry, not a good idea.
And yes they do not inform you when happy hour is over, or when the appetizers are no longer half price. You have to ask.
Thieves and crooks! – The worst experience I have ever had eating out.
I came with a large group for happy hour. We asked if it was happy hour when we came in. Yes, its happy hour. So everyone orders discounted food and drink. We stayed for quite a while, and ordered several rounds of food and drink. Everytime the waitress took more orders we asked "Is it still happy hour?" "Yes, its still happy hour, everything is still discounted."
When the full price bill came to $100's more than anticipated, the waitress explained that we were not sitting at a designated happy hour table!!!!!!! After assuring us with every order that it was happy hour, she neglected to mention that it did not apply at our table!!!
The manager REFUSED to come speak with us. Only after about 45 minutes, while we refused to leave until the bill was settled, did the manager come to our table. He was furious that we pulled him away from his other duties! He absolutely refused to compromise on the price of the bill.
I would never EVER return, even if they held the only liquer license in town!
Fun Atmosphere – Great Food Lot of dishes with coconut. Drinks a little exspensive but worth it with the souvenier cup
A great bar - only in Tucson! – I love coming here. The decor is straight out of Trader Vic's (don't know what that is? look it up), the waitresses are very nice and quite prompt with service, even on the busy weekend nights. The drinks are filled with alcohol and cheap - but if it's your first time, get the Scorpion, the signature drink. Just make sure you have a DD if you get one! The food isn't bad either. If you're in Tucson, be sure to stop by.
Tropical fantasy comes to life with lethal cocktails and a Polynesian party palace atmosphere. – The Scene
By the early 1960s almost every American city had at least one restaurant dressed up to look like a hut, where women in grass skirts served drinks with little umbrellas and pineapple slices. The moat at the front entrance is now dry and the restaurant could use a new coat of paint, but Kon Tiki has managed to extend its heyday into the 21st century.
The Booze
The bar is usually packed with hipsters bypassing the dinner menu in favor of Kon Tiki's infamous mixed drinks. The fishbowl-sized Scorpions are legendary. Hawaii Five-O, CAP and Drink of the Gods are other creatively names favorites, but cocktail-drinkers will be spoiled for choice. Beer selections are less exotic.
While You're There
Though famous for its lethal concoctions, Kon Tiki serves Polynesian specialties for lunch and dinner until 10pm.
awesome – WE WERE VERY SUPRISED. WE HAD AN EXCELLENT DINNER. GREAT RIBS AND SHRIMP AND THE BANANA BREAD WAS DELICIOUS. THE KON TIKI ATMOSPHERE IS A LITTLE OLD BUT STILL HAS A LOT OF CHARM. OUR WAITRESS "AMY" WAS ALSO VERY HELPFULL AND VERY PERSONABLE. WE WILL DEFINITELY RETURN.

wview is an application that controls a supported weather station to retrieve archive records and current conditions. Archive records may optionally be stored in a relational database (MySQL or PostgreSQL). At a user-defined interval, wview will use the archive history and current conditions to generate weather images (buckets and graphs) and Web pages based on configurable HTML templates. It supports serial and USB data loggers, as well as connectivity with a terminal server or serial server via TCP sockets.
Pride combines bash scripts, zenity, ant, ImageMagick, and the Android tools to create a fast and simple POSIX alternative for Android development. It provides all the basic commands (clean, build, release, etc.) of other Android IDEs. But it is primarily a robust and simple injection framework. Injections from methods to clusters of activities are easily created from existing code and can then be injected into any project. Pride can also be used to batch build, load, or release multiple projects and can update class and resource files among projects that use the same objects or resources.

Infectious Waste
The Infectious Waste Program regulates treatment facilities and generators and transporters of infectious waste in South Carolina. The South Carolina Infectious Waste Management Regulations, R. 61-105, were passed June 28, 1991, and most recently revised June 25, 2010. There are approximately 7000 registered generators of infectious waste, 17 registered transporters of infectious waste, and 1 registered treatment facility for infectious waste.
The Regulations describe the registration process, explain what is considered infectious waste and what is exempted, and define treatment processes. To find out what is regulated as Infectious Waste, please refer to Section E. 1. of the Regulations. There are three classes of generators, (small quantity, large quantity and extra-large quantity) defined by the weight of waste generated in a calendar month. Infectious waste created in South Carolina does not have to be treated in South Carolina, but any person or company that generates or transports infectious waste in South Carolina must be registered.
If you have questions about infectious waste, please contact Kim Clyburn at (803) 898-0239 email@example.com

Campus Strictness:
Not very strict, but students know how to behave.
Campus Strictness:
I find that alcohol consumption will occur regardless of campus police influence. However, I feel it is far more important to have a strict honor code and to deal with protests and demonstrations adequately.
Campus Strictness:
Students are tasked with the responsibility to make their own decisions and deal with the repercussions. School police are not present to get students in trouble but moreso to ensure students' safety and well-being.
Campus Strictness:
Brown is very very lenient! The protest questions is a little awkward...
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Justin Kim
The Brown police are not unlike those cool parents you knew in high school: They let the kids have their parties and almost never check out suspicious smells. While the police will nab students for any blatant displays of illegal behavior, they are unlikely to look for it unless staff or students notify them. These days, the main job of the Brown police is crime prevention and not student supervision. In addition, the counselor support system in the dorms provides a safe, open, and fun environment for the students, not a tool for the University to keep an eye on the students in their rooms.
Although many people think enforcement is lax, people do go to dean's hearings and letters of reprimand are issued every time. The first few offenses stay confidential, but if the school is aware of a real problem, they will notify your parents and require counseling for social- and substance-related issues. Blatant acts of crime against other students, on the other hand, are dealt with more harshly. The University establishes safe, yet liberal boundaries for students and uses security presence to protect, not police, the students.

Commissioners unanimously directed staff to finance the refunds using two reserve funds while deferring capital projects, continuing to provide funding for staff to process repayments and allocating proportionate shares of the refunds to other taxing entities that received the revenues by reducing their respective future tax distributions.
In a separate action, the board voted 3-2, with Chairman John Breternitz and Commissioner Kitty Jung opposed, to allocate proportionate shares of the accrued interest to the other taxing entities that have had use of the funds during the time the action has been in litigation.
Other agencies affected include the Washoe County School District, North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, Incline Village General Improvement District and the state of Nevada.
The estimated total cost of the refunds is approximately $43.3 million. The interest portion is estimated to be $6.2 million and the county government's share is about $18.4 million.
County staff was directed to prepare documents allowing for the use of up to $7 million from the county's risk management fund, $8.4 million from the health benefits fund and defer $3 million in capital projects to repay the taxes.
Use of reserves identified for property and liabilities claims, worker's compensation coverage, health benefits and capital improvement projects depletes reserves that might need long-term replenishment to meet existing liabilities, county officials said.
Therefore, utilizing current reserves was considered the best option available.
Staff noted that there are no other revenue sources currently available to pay the $18.4 million court-ordered property tax refunds to Incline Village property owners. Since the county has already cut spending by $154 million and 769 positions, or 20 percent of its workforce, in the last five years, further budget and subsequent staff reductions would continue to erode the county's ability to provide essential core public services, officials said.
In a separate item, commissioners continued the introduction of an ordinance providing for a 1-cent vehicle registration tax as authorized by NRS 371.043 to replenish the affected funds. The continuance will allow time to obtain additional information on opportunities for replenishing the three affected funds and to complete an analysis on cash flow. The county has no authority to increase sales tax and the community is at the statutory limit for property taxes.
Additional information for residents affected by the property tax refund is available online at www.washoecounty.us/treas/Inclinevillage/crystalbaytaxrefundinformation.htm.

Comments about NALGENE HDPE Narrow-Mouth Bottle, 32 oz.:
I bought a pair of these Nalgene bottles 15 years ago and have used them happily every weekend since. The plastic loops that hold the caps to the bottle (to prevent loss) are finally developing cracks after 15 years, so I purchased a new pair of bottles. The new bottles are almost identical to the old -- except that the plastic is not quite as thick and the bottles not as rigid as 15 years ago. Will these last as long? We'll see.

Staff of the Hamilton College Career Center have been surveying Hamilton graduates during their first year after graduation for the past 10 years. The resulting "Outcomes" reports present the best data we have to tell us what our graduates end up doing "one year out" of Hamilton. Our goal each year is to survey the Class until we obtain responses from at least 80% of the Class, which for last year and this year required considerable persistent effort.
This Career Outcomes report, for the Hamilton College Class of 2009, references the responses received from 396 out of the 473 members of the Class, a response rate of 84%. We began collecting data in May of 2009 and reached our participation goal in April of 2010.
All results contained in this report reflect the responses of those 396 members (84%) of the class that replied to the survey. All percentages included refer to the response group and not to the total class size of 473.
The report begins with a summary section giving an overview of the entire Class. That is followed, in turn, by reports on students that accepted employment opportunities, top geographic location choices, those that pursued graduate school positions, and finally those that accepted a postgraduate fellowship or scholarship award.
Viewers can clearly note the impact of the economic recession in the number of respondents who reported themselves as "in transition" or "still looking" for what they consider to be permanent work. Clearly more members of the Class of 2009 went directly into Graduate or Professional School, as well. The "Overall Status" and "Areas of Employment 2004-09" tables
This report is compiled each year by the Career Center staff under the direction of David Bell, and would not be possible without the willingness of our alumni to report back to us. "Thank you" to the members of the Class of 2009 who participated. If you have questions about this information feel free to contact us.

Research Program Overview
Research Program Overview
The Department of Medicine is comprised of eleven sections which are focused on specific clinical disciplines within the field of Internal Medicine, two sections which are devoted to research (the Cardiovascular Research and Health Services Research) and three research centers: The Biology of Inflammation Center, the Asthma Clinical Research Center, and the Winters Center for Heart Failure Research. In addition, department of faculty play leadership roles in nine College-wide centers including the Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center, the Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center, the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, the VA HSR&D Center for Innovations in Quality, Effectiveness, and Safety (IQuEST Center), the Medical Ethics and Health Policy Center, the Diabetes Research Center, the Texas Gulf Coast Digestive Diseases Center, the Center for Space Medicine, and the Cardiovascular Research Center.
In March, 2013, the research efforts of Department faculty were supported by $48.7M in total extramural research funding, including $27.1M from the NIH, $4.9M from the Veteran's Administration, $3.9M from other federal agencies, $4.2M from industry support of clinical trials, and $8.5M from other non-federal sources (a total of 562 funding awards). Among these awards are NIH Center awards in endocrinology, infectious diseases, oncology, and gastroenterology, and a VA Center of Excellence Award (health services research). In addition eight Sections have been awarded NIH T-32 grants to support research training in the fields of endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology, health services research, immunology, infectious diseases, pulmonary medicine, molecular medicine, and nephrology.
In FY12, Department faculty published 987 peer-reviewed reports and 139 reviews and book chapters. 124 faculty were members or officers of national advisory committees and study sections; 91 serve as associate editors or invited members of journal editorial boards; 16 are elected members of the Association of American Physicians (AAP); and 17 are elected members of the American Society of Clinical Investigation (ASCI).
The foci of research interests of Department faculty encompass the broad field of internal medicine and related translational sciences, including:
- Cardiology and Cardiovascular Research: identification of novel biomarkers to predict heart disease, stroke, and diabetes; molecular and cellular mechanisms of cardiac injury and repair; identification of genes regulating lipid metabolism and pharmacologic approaches to treat dyslipidemia
- Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolism: basic and translational research in the biology and physiology of diabetes (including novel gene therapy approaches to the treatment of type I diabetes) and diabetic complications; clinical and molecular characterization of ketosis-prone diabetes; physiology of adipogenesis and energy metabolism

FORTUNE -- Dear Annie: My boss just told me that my employer, a Fortune 500 company, wants me to take a new job in San Francisco, which is about 1,200 miles away from where I live now. The position would be a lateral move rather than a promotion but, the way it's been described to me, it does offer more opportunity for advancement than my current job, so it looks like a good career move.
I'm concerned, however, about the move itself, for three reasons. First, the housing market where I live is still so bad (my neighbor's home has been for sale for over two years with no takers), I doubt that I can sell my house except at a substantial loss. Second, the cost of living in northern California is much higher than where I live now, but is it customary to ask for a raise to cover that? And third, my partner has a thriving career here and would need some help finding a new job. I've heard that some companies offer "trailing spouse" job-search assistance, but is it realistic to expect that? Can I negotiate for it? — Up in the Air
Dear Up: You've picked an interesting moment to ask. Employee relocations have been on the rise since 2010, according to the latest results of a detailed survey that Atlas Van Lines has been conducting every year since 1967. "Lots of companies are struggling to put the right talent in the right places, and moving someone you know is often less risky than bringing in someone new," observes Ryan McConnell, an Atlas vice president. "But sometimes you just can't move an existing employee -- which explains why 52% of relocations last year were new hires."
MORE: 2012 Businessperson of the Year
Almost all big companies have formal relocation policies in place, so your first step should be to find out what your employer typically offers the people it transfers from one place to another. "Usually we see different relocation benefits packages at different levels," McConnell says. "A C-suite executive will get a different package from a middle manager, a skilled professional, or another category of employee." More

I have not started my challenge and I wanted to know if the following are ok to eat when I do begin the challenge which will be very soon (days away):
1. Kellogs k-Bars
2. Yoplait Light Fat Free Yogurt
3. Orange Juice
4. 97% Fat Free Hot Dog (just 1 as a meal)
Advise Anyone?
Thank you all.
My two cents...
The Kelloggs k-bars are high in sugar.
The Yoplait is fine. There are other yogurts that have less sugar.
The orange is fine if it is fresh squeezed with no added sugar. You would add that as your carb. I would guess you would be pretty hungry with just that as a carb.
Kill the hot dog.
Turkey ***, chicken ***, salmon, cottage cheese...all great protein options.
Do you have the original BFL book? The list in the original book offers a variety of suggestions. Many will tell you that your best results will come from following the original authorized food list.
Think whole foods. Great for you for planning in advance! That is the key to success!
Keep the faith!
Faithful Renee :0)
I agree with Renee. Stick real foods, I'd rather eat an orange then drink the juice, it goes by too fast ;o)
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right ~ Henry Ford
Michelle Simpson ~2009 Body-for-LIFE Champion 46+ Catagory
Thanks for the reply.
It helps to know the small things and be better prepared.
Will do.
I agree with Renee.....keep it simple.....follow the basic food groups in the original BFL book.
1. Kellogs k-Bars - If sugar is in the first 3 ingredients of any food it can be a trigger and a set up to binge.
2. Yoplait Light Fat Free Yogurt - ok.
3. Orange Juice - I prefer the whole orange. Tastes good, filling, roughage, etc......Planning my food for the next day I would peel and prepare the night before or at the meal to be eaten.
4. 97% Fat Free Hot Dog (just 1 as a meal) - no - poor protein....there are many other good choices, chicken, turkey, haddock, salmon, tuna, shrimp, lean steak, lean ground beef, egg whites, etc....
Portions sizes are important too.....
Thanks for asking! People on the site will help out anytime, all the time.......Let us know when you start! I'm at the end of day 70!

Collegiate Wind Competition
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Collegiate Wind Competition challenges undergraduate students from multiple disciplines to design and construct a lightweight wind turbine. The students will investigate innovative wind energy concepts; gain experience designing, building, and testing a wind turbine to perform according to a customized, market data-derived business plan; and increase their knowledge of wind industry barriers.
The theme of the inaugural competition is to design and construct a lightweight, transportable wind turbine that can be used to power small electronic devices. A principal contest involves testing each team's prototype wind turbine in a wind tunnel under specific conditions. Each team's business plan and turbine will also be evaluated against other pre-weighted criteria. The third event of the competition will be oral presentations delivered in an open forum, whereby each team will demonstrate its grasp on market drivers and deployment acceleration opportunities affecting the wind industry. Teams will be judged not only on the strength of their arguments, but also on the depth, logic, and style of their deliveries.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory is facilitating the inaugural competition, which will take place in spring 2014.
The competition contests are designed to reach students from various engineering and business programs to provide them with engaging, real-world project experience as they prepare to enter the workforce.
