Eric Zuley interviews DDP from the WWF
Film and television actor and personality Dallas Page has been entertaining millions of fans for over 20 years. The athletic, 52 year-old Page knew at an early age that he was born to entertain. His grandmother called him "energetic"—truly an understatement. Whether it was barreling through his grandma's kitchen on his tricycle, swinging from chandeliers at the babysitter's house, or cannonballs at neighborhood pool parties, Page knew how to grab an audience and have them eat out of the palm of his hand.
With his size, strength and natural ability, Page excelled in multiple sports high school and college. After college, Dallas Page followed his calling to entertain, entering the nightclub business and quickly established himself as one of the south's leading club owners and promoters. But he still had the pro wrestling "itch." On a whim, Page sent a tape to the AWA (American Wrestling Alliance), one of the country's premiere professional wrestling organizations. The AWA promoters immediately offered Page a contract to "manage"—escorting and doing all of the 'over-the-top' talking—their top stars. With his long, curly hair, conceited manner and ever present "Diamond Dolls," "Diamond" Dallas Page was a natural at working crowd intofrenzy and became the man fans loved to hate.

Using Centos 6.3, I installed Apache httpd 2.2 with PHP 5.4 (from a custom yum repository) and MySQL. PHP works fine on the command line, but there's no mention of it in Apache's httpd.conf.
I know it should have some "LoadModule" lines relating to PHP but it doesn't. There is literally no mention of PHP anywhere in the conf file.
Is there a way to automatically make PHP work with Apache, as I'd rather not add bits and pieces to httpd.conf myself - I'd rather have this taken care of automatically?

Quoting GeorgiaStormz:
Models are unenthusiastic about developing a tropical cyclone in the west Caribbean. They do show a low pressure area though. It's also possible we see tropical development off the East Coast in 5 days from that low currently producing significant rainfall along the Gulf Coast. 93E in the East Pacific is at a code red 60% but is struggling with some wind shear at this time.
Lots of serious flooding going on along the Gulf Coast.

If it wasn't for the single-member veto, this could be a good idea. I think it would be better to simply add elected positions to the Sound Transit board, along with taxation/tolling authority, and make it the final and sole decision-maker on all metro-area transit.
In its current form, this just undercuts Sound Transit right as that agency has gotten its act together. I want more transit much faster than Sound Transit is going to deliver it, but gutting Sound Transit and creating a new agency with no institutional memory or public credibility would delay transit, not accelerate it.
Light rail construction is well under way. We'll soon have light rail running to SeaTac just like the voters were promised. None of the taxes have been raised, plus, the agency didnt need as much bonding as originally estimated. Projects for the most part are coming in on time and under budget. Sound Transits professionals now are planning for coordinating roads + rails. The legislature should not remove our local control from the elected leaders on the agencys board. ST2 will let us push through to the U. We can build on success with ST2!
Josh writes: "Murray is frustrated, for example, with the dunderheaded plans for SR520, which dont coordinate with light rail."
Josh, I haven't heard quite this criticism of the 520 planning. Can you elaborate? I know "they" have talked about making the new 520 rail-extensible or compatible but only for some conversion in the undetermined future.
This feels a bit like _No Child Left Behind_: A decent enough idea with serious flaws in implementation.
As Murray rightly pointed out, it is asinine to plan transit and road projects separately -- guarantying no potential for cost-savings or reasoned planning. Likewise, the spending and funding rules are totally archaic. Even with these positive aspects, the veto provision seems too powerful a negative, capable of undoing any potential good from this bill...
Holding up the UW & Northgate light rail extension for decades - while waiting for more wrangling over 520 - is not a "pro-transit" position.
Neither is increasing ST's station costs for an in-line station. So the limber college students will have to walk 3 minutes to the station from Husky Stadium. Poor kids.
Feit believes Murray is "pro-transit" because Murray told him he is. Dig in a little deeper, Josh, and you'll find he's NOT a light rail enthusiast, and he is NOT excited about extending light rail to the 'burbs, which need it the most for enviro and land use reasons.
You need political leadership to get this heavy lifting done. Murray and the part-time legislature exhibit the exact opposite time and time again - whether it be forging a deal with Finkbeiner last session to trade governance for 405/520 - or whether it be trying to slowly kill off an agency and a project because of a pet project associated with a pet peeve.
Expanding light rail is the underlying issue here, and the anti-rail sharks are definitely circling around Murray so they can go in for the kill. www.bettertransport.info/pitf
Everybody has their own disperate grudge against ST and ST's projects. This is their change to take all those random complaints and use them to stick it to "the man."
Sacrificing light rail in the process just isn't that big a deal for them.
RTID is dead, and so is Murray's idea.
Murray's "we need multi modal planning" bull shit is nothing more than sour grapes.
He is mad that light rail isn't coming on the bridge through his district and instead will be built on I-90 to Overlake.
Multi modal planning occurs all the time in this region. Murray just doesn't like the results for his district. Not enough pet projects for him.
And if he is so interested in having WSDOT conduct better planning on their roads, well why not make WSDOT conduct better planning on their roads?? He is a state senator after all. He used to be the House Transportation Committee Chair.
His two gas tax increases included close to 200 different projects in King County alone. Why didn't he fund the full replacement of the 520 bridge and put some rail on it?
Even assuming ST could have been killed off five years ago, we are way past even talking about that at this point.
This bill is not going to kill ST the projects are almost complete.
A few BRT- and car-worshipping deadenders still are kicking around (John Niles! Peter Sherwin!), but they are a micro-minority. Expansion of the system will be relatively inexpensive, popular, and an inevitable part of future transportation system infrastructure build-outs.
The reason the unanimity requirement is more of a theoretical than practical problem is because it cuts both ways. There is no way the district reps from Seattle would vote for a sprawl causing roads package at the expense of transit. This will force compromise.
It's all about Hegel: thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
Will it force compromise, or will it force gridlock (theoretical gridlock in Congress, not the real thing on the roads)?
I don't see Snohomish County reps being shy at all about killing transit. The old pork-barrel legislative model has worked in the past -- I'll vote for yours if you'll vote for mine -- but will it continue? Government seems increasingly paralyzed. Not surprising, I guess, as the dollar figures get bigger and the issues more fixed and contentious.
The question isn't about Sound Transit now; it's about expanding it. Transit is a very bitterly divisive issue in Snohomish now, and I'm not sure the pros outnumber the antis. If we can't get trains in Northgate and Bellevue because of one property-rights neanderthal in Arlington, that's going to suck. For everybody; they won't get the roads they so desperately want (a lattice of four-lane freeways all across the county; it's coming, watch) and we won't get our trains, OR our bridge, or our (ahem) whatevercomesaftertheviaduct.
So maybe legislative gridlock is the only block we can put up in the way of total losangelization. Ugh.
The 520 plans are just fine. The Pacific St option can get BRT right to the Husky Stadium station. As long as the new bridge is built strong enough to take LRT, it is inevitable it will replace it someday.
Issaquah-Bellevue via I-90 along with UW-Bellvue via 520 are up for study in ST2. Combining those two segments into a Issaquah-Ballard line would make a lot of sense in ST3. Should be big ridership in replacing the 44, would look good to the FTA.
Why do you think transit is such a divisive issue for Snohomish? Who are the cons?
"Will it force compromise, or will it force gridlock (theoretical gridlock in Congress, not the real thing on the roads)?"
This would be a transportation ONLY funding, planning and oversight board. Odds are that voters would work hard to make sure no hardliners are elected. No one who is a property rights reactionary wacko from Arlington likely would be elected. The voters in Sno. county do want roads money, and they will know that only by electing someone who can compromise and back balanced regionwide plans will their needs be met. Of course someone could go really sideways once elected. But because transportation is the ONLY thing this board would be doing, the scrutiny - and resulting accountability - would be much, much greater than what we have now.
Maybe there could be streamlined recall provisions, by district, if someone is being a real problem for their district?
Considering the present systems don't seem to be meshing very well, I'd be in favor of an overhaul just to try out another system. Why stick with something which creates such divisiveness? Sometimes the "Devil You Don't Know" can be better than the "Devil You Know."
We're in a somewhat chaotic realm these days. Chaos creates some interesting opportunities. I suggest we try some of them. Murray's being one.
If we could get a central agency that would be able to weigh the advantages of one project next to another, I think that would be a good thing. Although I have never supported a BRT proposal, notwithstanding whatever name the ST pumper is using on this board stated, but if a solid argument was made for using that technology over monorail or light rail or water taxis or... shouldn't that be the choice?
The new surface study, some want in Seattle, is to include bus routes - I think the study should look at light rail, monorail, skytrain etc. for the west side of the city as well.
The real costs of systems should be public information easily accessed and should use the same methodology for all projects.
I don't get the unanimous requirement but I do see the value in coordination and accountability.
Is there a blog in roads territory where they are afraid that Seattle transit nuts will veto all road projects :)
Having just read the actual bill, I'm more positive on the theoretical merits:
-The board would be authorized and encouraged to implement congestion pricing and other demand management.
-Has the power to absorb the Puget Sound Regional Council and undertake its land use responsibilities, if the governor & the cities agree.
-Absorbs Sound Transit. Will submit a report to the legislature about the wisdom of further integrating local transit agencies.
-However, the new RTC will be stuck with the RTID project list, assuming it is approved. However, there seems to be no similar requirement for the ST2 projects.
This is a more constructive discussion than the last couple on the issue.
I agree that the single-member veto is one of the most problematic aspects of the bill. This will only produce a Hegelian outcome that's not so ideal. In other words we'll get a big roads and transit package (as with the current forced marriage between RTID and ST), followed by voter rejection because the package is too big and road heavy for pro-tax voters, followed by the same cycle repeated again.
A supermajority requirement, on the other hand, would allow the majority of the board to marginalize the pro-road extremists while still guaranteeing a high degree of consensus and geographical breadth in the list of project benefits.
Get rid of the absolute consensus requirement, require a rigorous carbon emission analysis of each project, beef up the language re: mobility equals moving people and goods (not cars) and, maybe shrink the taxing boundaries to not only exclude Kitsap and Gig Harbor peninsula, but other areas outside the existing Sound Transit jurisdicion. Do all these things and you have a pretty good bill that probably would be significantly better than the status quo.
"In other words we'll get a big roads and transit package (as with the current forced marriage between RTID and ST), followed by voter rejection because the package is too big and road heavy for pro-tax voters, followed by the same cycle repeated again."
Not if the commissioners are sensible. You are assuming they would try to put a bloated package before voters, like ST and RTID are doing.
A prioritized, smaller package than ST2/RTID - but balanced between roads and transit - likely would pass. It is because those two autonomous agencies (RTID and ST) decided to put out their unprioritized "we want it all now" measures that the November package will be way too bloated.
BREAKING NEWS: Just got word that Ed Murray sent a letter to the House and Senate leadership, transportation committee chairs in both houses, and the Governor arguing that it's time to pull the plug on the joint ST2/RTID ballot planned for November.
He argues that many of the projects on the list are not ready to go before voters including SR 520 and ST crossing of I-90. Therefore, he believes that ST should be able to go out by itself to voters in November, but without the I-90 crossing.
He then calls for a combined roads and transit package at a future date, but under the auspices of a new RTC that would be in operation by the end of the year. I should have an electronic copy of the letter to post soon.
Golob, the cons in Snohomish are in the northern and eastern part of the county -- basically everybody from Marysville on up, and everybody strung along Highway 9: north and east of Everett. They have a point, in that the only commuting anybody up there gives a damn about is to and from the Boeing plant, which isn't on ST's short or long lists; there will never be adequate transit there. And the worse congestion gets on 9 -- they're widening it now -- the more they want more road, NOT transit. You could count the people in Marysville and Arlington who want more light rail, monorail, BRT, mag-lev trains, you name it, on one hand. What they DO want is bigger, better E-W links between I-5 and points east, and they want a hundred more lanes of I-5 to "solve" the new traffic crisis between Quilceda (where the Tulalip Casino, Wal-Mart, Home Despot, etc. etc.) and Smokey Point (new Target on the east side, established but ballooning strip mall city on the west). Nobody but nobody gives a shit about transit, except downtown Seattle commuters, who make up a tiny fraction of the population. This is the new world.
The interesting thing that's happening in Kitsap and Mason Counties is the new Narrows bridge, which is already causing a boom in sprawl construction over there that's just starting to gather steam. That bridge is the stupidest thing you can imagine; it's GUARANTEED to create sprawl around Gig Harbor and up and down the Key Peninsula and points beyond, which will then create demand for more development south of Tacoma along I-5. Some people will probably be commuting to the I-5 corridor from as far as Port Orchard, Bremerton the LONG way around (not ferry) or even Shelton.
That's the problem I have with these "regional solutions" I keep hearing about; regional is the right approach, but to too many people regional still means "commuting in and out of downtown". The real region is HUGE, and it's running away from us. Most people never come anywhere near the city limits, let alone downtown.
I'm worried about delaying the I-90 crossing and what that means for potential sucess of an ST tax measure without benefits to promise to Eastside voters.
But, Murray is right about the RTID proposal. Design is not settled on SR 520 and, as he also notes in the letter, the combined package is too heavily bloated with unpopular tax increases (.6% sales tax and .8% motor vehicle excise tax) to likely pass muster with voters when so many contentious projects remain on the list.
@10, @18 - as I said, RTID is dead.
"The 520 plans are just fine. The Pacific St option can get BRT right to the Husky Stadium station. As long as the new bridge is built strong enough to take LRT, it is inevitable it will replace it someday."
Agree, the PCI version is a fine one, and I sat in on some of the secret meetings to make sure it was good.
Bill, you mean the same "unpopular taxes" that Ed Murrary would have this new government levy? He gives the new commission a full one percent sales tax authority. It could all be spent on roads. How does that sit with you?
ted: Murray provides a broad range of tax and pricing options in the bill. There are some that should be added, like a regional gas tax. Yes, they all could, in theory, be spent on roads. But, that's where voter accountability comes in. Puget Sound voters want transit. They see that we're way behind in building up our rail infrastructure; they're skeptical about roads solving congestion. Voters get to force accountability at two stages: (1) election of board members; (2) approval or rejection of the board's proposal. RTID is unraveling 7 months before the election because the potential campaign backers know this big bloated, road heavy package can't pass muster with the very voters who are willing to tax themselves for transportation.
My understanding is the 520 plans are at least a decade away from being able to actually break ground. Am I wrong? Who knows what the tax and voter situation will look like then.
In the meantime, regional voters, who outnumber Seattle residents at least five to one, are going to be getting more and more fed up paying taxes for improvements that benefit Seattle -- even if that's not the case, it's the perception (always has been, always will be).
What frustrates me is that ST is doing so little to counter that perception. Light rail is necessary and great, but ultimately the plan is focused on moving people in and out of central seattle.
Here is the kickass 405 BRT plan, which is buried deep in the I-405 master plan from WSDOT. ST has been building all the access ramps and whatnot to implement it, but I see nothing from them about when the actual service will start. I doubt most suburban voters know anything about it.
"Murray believes this new transportation agency would bring new revenue streams to transit planning."
Sure - in like 5-6 years.
This new (unfunded) entity he wants to create will:
First need to have its districts created by the three county councils - could happen next year.
Then commission members would run in '08 or '09
Then in '09 or '10 they would craft a plan (mind you, without a a paycheck for themselves, let alone a desk or any staff)
Then that plan would go to the voters, maybe in '11 or '12, when the commission would get its first funding.
Then, possibly in '12 or '13, Bill Laborde can have all the money he wants for carbon assessments and transit!
Nice to see how bright the bulbs are shining down in Olympia these days.
"There are some that should be added, like a regional gas tax. "
Idealism is a good thing, Bill Laborde. Extreme idealism, however, leads to naivite.
Not only that - you're supposed to be the pro-transit guy. Why is it that the only "popular" tax you can come up with can only be used for roads?
And why do you keep contradicting yourself?
Buzz: Only the state gas is restricted to roads under the state constitution. A regional gas tax could be enacted without that restriction.

It might be better to opt for a mileage
tax (call it a "usage" tax, if you will) as opposed to a gas tax. I suspect as cars increase in their fuel mileage and alternative energy vehicles become the norm, reliance on the current fuels as a commodity to tax may become problematic.
--- Jensen
You said voters across the Puget Sound support transit. Catch the last two ferry measures in Kitsap County? They both failed. The most recent was in February.
The RTID list isn't perfect in my mind, but I look at the KC projects and see a lot to like. Lots of HOV and freight improvements. The Pierce and Snohomish lists give those areas what they want. Wouldn't be my choice but, I also like that they may help fund light rail over the county lines.
What is your evidence that this is all falling apart?
Catch Aubrey Davis' op ed today in support of the road and transit measure in the Times? That old radical road zealot. Right Bill.
Bill, is John Stanton paying you too like he is Ed? Just curious. I mean the guy has got a billion dollars right.
Bill how do you have time to save the environment with all the time you spend defending Ed Murray and his broken bill?
You are on every blog defending him before the ink is even dry on the original post.
Currious to see the letter you mentioned. Now this is the same Ed Murray who last year said we should have an integrated roads and transit measure. Now he doesn't think so.
There are less twists and turns on my sister's favorite soap opera than in the head of Ed Murray. What's Ed got on next year's transportation agenda? Jetson spaceships for everyone!!
"reliance on the current fuels as a commodity to tax may become problematic. "
--- Jensen Interseptor
Really, ya think so Jensen? That occured about ten years ago. Go intersept some brains my friend.
It occured ten years ago, yet Ed Murray decided to use this same failed funding source for the 2003 and 2005 transportation packages. That 5 cents that was raised in 2003 is worth about 4 now thanks to inflation. I think we should charge people for the roads they use. Why doesn't that crusader for the environment Ed Murray?

Interesting comment, William. Since you seem to exhibit some knowledge about the topic, why don't you do us all a favor and forecast what our net return on the gas tax will be during the next 10 years based on current levy and planned increases coupled with the vehicle population and its predicted future fuel usage.
Personally, I'd be interested in a comparison to what you say occured ten years ago.
Come back and report to us Willy after you complete your report.
ted: I was talking about the mass of Puget Sound voters in the three central Puget Sound counties. Kitsap's a different animal altoghether. No one is seriously talking about including them in any regional tax proposal anytime soon.
Aubrey's great. For him, I think, the whole combined package is worth it to ensure funding for ST2 and SR 520. Living on Mercer Island, I'm sure he's also worried about all the rest of the old-timers there who want to use every opportunity they can to oppose light rail on I-90 (this does give me some pause in opposing the combined measure).
I disagree with Aubrey in this case because I just don't see how you can talk about building so many new SOV lane miles in an era when we're supposed to be cutting co2 emissions. We, of course, should invest in road projects to replace crumbling infrastructure and we should make some additional, strategic road investments for freight mobility and to clear up choke points. So, I support replacing 520, the SR 167 extension (although in their desperation to fund SR 162 and Cross-base, RTID gets that project all wrong), as well as fixing up the 167/405 interchange and improving collector/distributor lanes, ramp metering all those really cost-effective investments that help traffic flow better without inducing much more of it.
And, for these reasons, I oppose the degree of 405 expansion proposed by RTID, I have big problems with the SR 509 extension and I hate 162 expansion and cross-base highway. Honestly, I don't know enough about the Snohomish projects to have a strong opinion yet.
Evidence for RTID falling apart: the November polling conducted by the potential campaign funders was, at best, marginal - very reminiscent of R-51 back in 2002 (and the RTID package only got bigger after the polling was conducted). As pointed out in Murray's letter, the package has all kinds of vulnerabilities - SR 520 design not yet resolved, strong opposition to Cross-base in Pierce County, at least a couple of the state's big environmental groups poised to oppose, and the fact that the combined tax burden is BIG, really BIG. And, you can even see the anxiety in the faces of some of RTID's biggest proponents these days.
BTW, I've only been on the opposite sides of campaigns to which Stanton has contributed. Trust me, I'm not on his payroll. Nor is Ed Murray. One political contribution of a few hundred bucks won't buy any politician these, especially not Ed.
@19 Thanks Fnarf.
I have to agree with much of your critique here: we should be thinking of the region overall.
I've really come to believe that something like Metra or MARC would do really well here, particularly for the Everett-Seattle-Tacoma urban corridor -- far more than the patchwork of lightrail lines planned. So many people forget that there wouldn't be cities here without the UP and BNSF rail lines.
Even with all the problems, I thought the Seattle-only funding of the Monorail was a good idea precisely because it diffuses some of the frustration around the state.
Scr.w the rest of the state.
I believe Ed is in alliance with Stanton to kill rail on I-90 in order to pry money away form ST for building a six-lane 520 -- between I-5 and I-405 with enough amenities to placate the people of Montlake and Laurelhurst. That is the common theme between the now-abandoned version of 5803 and his "new" proposal.
He's mad about RTID not plowing all the Viaduct money into 520, he's mad that ST didn't add a light rail station near his house on north capitol hill, and he's still mad about the replacement of the First Hill light rail station with a streetcar. He thinks his district is screwed by ST because there are only a few stations, rather than cluing in to the fact that in ST2 there will be over 40 light rail stations to which his constituents can travel all over the darn region. As a result, he is behaving selfishly. If you don't believe it, look at his proposals and follow both the money and who gets to decide how to use it.
Follow. The. Money.
Rail on I-90 creates a one-seat ride on along a high speed, grade-seperated corridor stretching 30 miles from Redmond to Lynnwood via downtown and UW. It is the single most useful transportation investment that can be made to connect the region's largest population and employment centers. And he doesn't care.
If he thinks his contraption can produce results faster, ask him to show you the money. Show. You. The. Money. It simply doesn't add up.
Bill, did you support the the 2003 and the 2005 gas tax packages? They had $1.5 billion for 405. More than RTID. Murray put those plans together.
I think 405 should be managed. The RTID investments as I understand them will make this possible. We of course would need the state to allow those lanes to be managed. RTID can't do that. So we get back to your buddy Ed Murray. Why hasn't he proposed pricing any of the major road investments he proposed in 2003 and 2005?
I live in Seattle and see a lot of great RTID projects in my neck of the woods. These are all the projects that our global warming fighting mayor wants. Mercer Street improvements, lander overpass, new Spokane Street Viaduct that includes transit lanes.
It isn't rocket science here. You have a static tax (5 cent increase on a gallon of gas, 9.5 cent increase on a gallon of gas) and a tax that doesn't track entirely with ones use of the system. You can drive a civic 90 miles a day and pay less than someone driving a caddy 40 miles a day. You are not covering your costs for your use of the system.
This is a goofy way for paying for our roads. We should have a sales tax at least on gas or charge per mile. But people like Murrary just keep relying on the gas tax.
It is not sustainable.
Finally some leadership. Go Sen. Murray.

Two months ago the White House adopted a new national public health policy for dealing with ominous threats of emerging and reemerging infections. The policy was based on a report called Infectious Disease—A Global Health Threat, released in September 1995.1 The policy was initiated by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and is known as NSTC-7.
The threats posed by infectious disease have engaged public concern via the media, the cinema, and many serious books and advisory pronouncements during the last several years,2-6 as well as a new journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases, published quarterly by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).7 The January 17,1996, issue of JAMA was a theme issue on the same topic, in cooperation with 35 other medical journals around the world.8

Taxpayers help foot the bill for local Carnival
Published: Saturday, February 17, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 16, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
Mardi Gras, with its colorful floats, its marching bands, its thrown trinkets all paid for by participating krewe members, is sometimes called the greatest free show on Earth.
A family can go empty-handed to any one of 27 parades in Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes and, without spending a cent, return laden with beads, doubloons and other souvenirs.
Considering the influx of tourists and other elements of Carnival spending, Mardi Gras may even be an economic plus, but the free show is not entirely free. Taxpayers pick up the bill for such essentials as parade-route preparation, police escorts and protection and the morning-after cleanups. Conservative estimates put the publicly funded part of Terrebonne's Mardi Gras 2000 tab at well over $100,000.
"It's not magic; we don't just wiggle our noses and make it happen," said Maj. Vernon Bourgeois, coordinator of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office involvement in a dozen parades.
Bourgeois said about 100 sheriff's officers will work each parade this year, including patrol deputies, correctional officers, detectives, narcotics officers and office personnel.
Capt. Kirk Bergeron of the Houma Police Department said he will field some 50 officers for the eight parades that roll through city streets.
Working as a team, Bergeron and Bourgeois plan Mardi Gras coverage in meticulous detail, deciding the positions of police units in parade lineups and assigning officers to specific posts along the routes.
Parade-planning goes on throughout the year, Bergeron said, but meetings with members of krewes, the Sheriff's Office and other government departments affected by the parades become more frequent as Mardi Gras approaches.
"We discuss routes, we brief krewes and officers on parade regulations, particularly rule changes and completely new ordinances. Then on the day of the parade, we inspect the floats, including the safety straps required for each rider."
Police and deputies also escort trucks and tractors to and from Carnival dens to move floats to parade assembly points. For at least two Terrebonne parades, floats must be moved from one side of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to the other.
"That could be fun this year," Bergeron said. "With the Daigleville Bridge, out we will have to take them over the Howard Avenue Bridge, a longer route."
Bergeron has checked the route carefully for potential problems, but he worries about unforeseen snags, such as what occurred one year when floats being moved in from New Orleans were too tall to go under an overpass.
Bergeron also is concerned about police coverage along the parade route. In addition to officers placed at crucial points along the parade route, others are assigned to "perimeter units," standing by off the parade route, ready to respond quickly to trouble spots and to collect and transport violators arrested in the crowd.
"The first parade will tell us whether we have to move any personnel," he said.
Each of the eight Houma parades can last four hours or more. And when the last float reaches the end of the route and the last rider climbs off, deputies, policemen and other parade workers aren't finished.
"That is our busiest time," Bergeron said. "That is when we get a lot of fight complaints, car burglary complaints."
It is also the time when most of the floats are escorted back to the Carnival dens. The routine is essentially the same for all of the Houma parades. Terrebonne Sheriff's officers also man four smaller Carnival parades outside the city.
Veteran Terrebonne deputies remember the time, a few sheriffs back, when parade work was an officer's "contribution" to Mardi Gras festivities. Deputies worked where they were assigned. Overtime pay was out of the question.
Today, however, both Houma Police and Terrebonne Sheriff's Office deputies are generally paid for parade duty, and in some cases, overtime is involved.
"Money-wise, with overtime, it costs us right around $45,000 each season," said Assistant Chief Billy Bunch of the Houma Police Department's Mardi Gras expenses. "That does not count the incidentals, reprinting no-parking notices, rope used in crowd control or maintenance of police units.
"We have to make sure the units used in the parade are running properly. There is a lot of wear and tear on the engines, transmissions, brakes -- going the entire parade route not even doing one mile an hour -- it's move up a little and stop."
With about twice as many officers assigned to parade duty, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office overtime expenses in 1999 were predictably about $90,000. But in 2000, with just as many deputies working the 12 parades throughout the parish, overtime costs dropped to $35,000.
That remarkable decrease, Sheriff Jerry Larpenter explained, resulted from a new "K-time" policy which compensates officers for parade work by giving them time off of regular shifts.
"We are giving deputies a break," Larpenter said, "at four hours per parade, three parades means an employee can take a full 12-hour shift off in the middle of a week."
Larpenter acknowledges that K-time works because the department is fully staffed enough to run its regular shifts with an officer off duty. "We have the luxury of giving days off," he said. Before a 1/4-cent parish sales tax passed in 1997, allowing the hiring of more deputies, "we were struggling."
The estimated Houma-Terrebonne officer overtime figures do not include the cost of regular patrol shifts which continue for all the police and sheriff's jurisdictions during the parades.
The numbers also neglect the hours spent in planning and preparation and the value of the labor of prisoners in cleaning up after a parade.
Larpenter said after each parade day, two or three 15-man crews of prisoners, each supervised by Terrebonne deputies, move down the parade route, removing litter and debris.
Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government provided estimates of Mardi Gras parade costs incurred by its departments. The biggest cost is in trash collection: more than $21,000 for SWDI garbage trucks to pick up boxes and debris at float dens, float-staging areas, at the Hollywood Road mid-parade trash collection point and at disband areas.
That figure also covers post-parade pickups along the parade route, and morning-after pickups of trash bagged by a litter crew made up of parish inmates.
Terrebonne Parish also pays about $5,500 for rental of portable outhouses, with most of the units placed at Southland Mall as part of the agreement that uses the mall parking lot as a staging area.
Utilities Department crews, which check each parade route to verify height clearance for electrical lines and signal lights, cost an estimated $2,000. Overtime for other government departments, excluding street-sweeping, is estimated at about $1,500.
Taken together, the cost estimates of the Sheriff's Office, the Houma Police and consolidated government indicate that for Mardi Gras 2000, the Terrebonne Parish "free show" actually cost taxpayers an estimated $110,000.
It is possible that the sales taxes and other fees generated by Mardi Gras season more than cover the taxpayers' cost. But unlike New Orleans, no studies are conducted locally to measure the impact of Carnival season on the area economy.
In Lafourche Parish, sheriff's deputies work alongside community police officers at 15 parades scattered the length of Bayou Lafourche.
"We use of total of 230 officers," said chief deputy Mike LeBlanc, "some in cars, some on foot, some on horseback, even a few in boats."
Several down-the-bayou communities hold Mardi Gras parades.
He said the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office plans an additional 1,000 man-hours for Mardi Gras. "We budget ($25,000) to $30,000 annually to cover overtime and the use of vehicles," LeBlanc said.

Kakanistan-tourism to Afghanistan
Exhibition Photo Description:
Anni Art invites you to a unique exhibition that explores the fascinating and bizarre world of tourism to war â zones. Kafkanistan â is a world created by Austrian multi-media artist Lukas Birk and Irish ethnographer Sean Foley. It explores present day tourism to conflict zones in Afghanistan and neighboring countries. The name Kafkanistan was inspired by Kafkaâs The Castle, a book whose protagonist journeys through a world unknown to him, full of rumors and misleading stories. He's never sure whom to trust or what to believe in. In the course of three years the two explorers at the centre of this exhibition journeyed several times into Afghanistan and the neighboring countries following reckless tourists, exaggerated rumors and miss-interpreted fear. Having publishing a book and film on the subject and exhibited several parts of Kafkanistan in Europe and Asia, artist Lukas Birk, currently resident in Beijing, decided to show Kafkanistan with all its stories and layers in 798. The exhibition is a multi-media installation of stories, objects, video screenings and installation pieces: a physical world that embodies a journey out of the ordinary. A highlight of the show will be an interactive photo corner where visitors can dress up in tribal Afghan dress. In the style of the Kafkan protagonists. âI always wanted to create a physical space that represents Kafkanistan and the complexity of its nature," explained Birk. "The show in 798 will be fun and exciting. I feel Beijing and especially 798 need more such fun shows."

Pushing the 8 Cores
It seems like yesterday when I last talked about an AMD refresh! Oh wait, it almost was. Some weeks ago I was able to cover the latest AMD APU offerings that helped to flesh out the Kaveri lineup. We thought AMD was done for a while. Color us wrong. AMD pulled out all the stops and set up an AM3+ refresh! There is a little excitement here, I guess. I am trying to contain the tongue-in-cheek lines that I am oh-so-tempted to write.
AMD is refreshing their FX lineup in the waning days of Summer!
Let me explain the situation from my point of view. The FX lineup for AM3+ has not done a whole lot since the initial release of the Piledriver based FX-8350 and family (Vishera). Piledriver was a pretty significant update from Bulldozer as it slightly improved IPC and greatly improved power consumption (all the while helping to improve clockspeed by a small degree). There were two updates before this one, but they did not receive nearly as much coverage. These updates were the FX-6350 and the FX-9000 series. The FX-6350 is quite popular with the budget enthusiast crowd who still had not moved over to the Intel side of the equation. The FX-9000 series were OEM only initially and reaching up to $1000 at the high end. During that time since the original Vishera chips were released, we have seen the Intel Ivy Bridge and Haswell architectures (with a small refresh with Haswell with the 2nd gen products and the latest Socket 2011 units).

Though my review of the Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E processor was posted earlier today, we hosted a live stream later in the afternoon where Allyn and I talked about the launch. We were also able to welcome Matt Dunford, Princpal Evangelist at Intel to talk about his role in the Haswell-E release, the future of the platform, how DDR4 memory fits into it all and much more.
The video is embeded in the processor review now as well but I have included it separately below for those of you that want to jump straight in.
My thanks goes out to Matt from Intel for joining us on the live stream and to all the viewers that came by to submit questions and participate!
Haswell-E shows its stuff
Subject: Processors | August 29, 2014 - 02:08 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Intel, Haswell-E, haswell, evga, ddr4, corsair, core i7, asus, 5960X
The Tech Report took the new i7-5960X, Asus X99 Deluxe, 16 GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4, a Kingston HyperX SH103S3 240GB SSD and a XFX Radeon HD 7950 DD and set it loose on the test bench. The results were impressive to say the least, especially when they moved on from games to test productivity software where the Haswell architecture really shines. When they attempted to overclock the CPU they found a hard limit feeding the processor 1.3V and running 4.4GHz, any faster would cause some applications to BSoD. On the other hand that applied to all 8 cores and the difference in performance was striking.
Also make sure to read Ryan's review to get even mroe information on this long awaited chip.
"Haswell-E has arrived. With eight cores, 20MB of cache, and quad channels of DDR4 memory, it looks to be the fastest desktop CPU in history--and not by a little bit. We've tested the heck out of it and have a huge suite of comparisons going to back to the Pentium III 800. Just, you know, for context."

Revamped Enthusiast Platform
Join us at 12:30pm PT / 3:30pm ET as Intel's Matt Dunford joins us for a live stream event to discuss the release of Haswell-E and the X99 platform!! Find us at http://www.pcper.com/live!!
Sometimes writing these reviews can be pretty anti-climactic. With all of the official and leaked information released about Haswell-E over the last six to nine months, there isn't much more to divulge that can truly be called revolutionary. Yes, we are looking at the new king of the enthusiast market with an 8-core processor that not only brings a 33% increase in core count over the previous generation Ivy Bridge-E and Sandy Bridge-E platforms, but also includes the adoption of the DDR4 memory specification, which allows for high density and high speed memory subsystems.
And along with the new processor on a modified socket (though still LGA2011) comes a new chipset with some interesting new features. If you were left wanting for USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt on X79, then you are going to love what you see with X99. Did you think you needed some more SATA ports to really liven up your pool of hard drives? Retail boards are going to have you covered.
Again, just like last time, you will find a set of three processors that are coming into the market at the same time. These offerings range from the $999 price point and go down to the much more reasonable cost of $389. But this time there are more interesting decisions to be made based on specification differences in the family. Do the changes that Intel made in the sub-$1000 SKUs make it a better or worse buy for users looking to finally upgrade?
Haswell-E: A New Enthusiast Lineup from Intel
Today's launch of the Intel Core i7-5960X processor continues on the company's path of enthusiast branded parts that are built off of a subset of the workstation and server market. It is no secret that some Xeon branded processors will work in X79 motherboards and the same is true of the upcoming Haswell-EP series (with its X99 platform) launching today. As an enthusiast though, I think we can agree that it doesn't really matter how a processor like this comes about, as long as it continues to occur well into the future.
The Core i7-5960X processor is an 8-core, 16-thread design built on what is essentially the same architecture we saw released with the mainstream Haswell parts released in June of 2013. There are some important differences of course, including the lack of integrated graphics and the move from DDR3 to DDR4 for system memory. The underlying microarchitecture remains unchanged, though. Previously known as the Haswell-E platform, the Core i7-5960X continues Intel's trend of releasing enthusiast/workstation grade platforms that are based on an existing mainstream architecture.

Haswell-E has sprung a leak
Subject: Processors | August 26, 2014 - 01:32 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: rumour, leak, Intel, Haswell-E, 5960X, 5930K, 5820K
Take it with a grain of salt as always with leaks of these kind but you will be interested to know that videocardz.com has what might be some inside information on Haswell-E pricing and model numbers.
Intel i7 / X99 Haswell-E pricing:
- Intel Core i7 5960X 8C/16HT – 40-lane PCI-Express support (x16 + x16 + x8) — $999
- Intel Core i7 5930K 6C/12HT – 40-lane PCI-Express support (x16 + x16 + x8) — $583
- Intel Core i7 5820K 6C/12HT – 28-lane PCI-Express support (x16 + x8 + x4) —– $389
As you can see there is a big jump between the affordable i7-5820K and the more expensive 5930K. For those who know they will stick with a single GPU or two low to mid-range GPUs the 5820K should be enough for you but if you have any thoughts of upgrading or adding in a number of PCIe SSDs then you might want to seriously consider saving up for the 5930K. Current generation GPUs and SSDs are not fully utilizing PCIe 3.0 16x but that is not likely to remain true for long so if you wish for your system to have some longevity this is certainly something you should think long and hard about. Core counts are up while frequencies are down, the 8 core 5960X has a base clock of 3GHz, a full gigahertz slower than the 4790K but you can expect the monstrous 20MB cache and quad-channel DDR4-2133 to mitigate that somewhat. Also make sure to note that TDP, 140W is no laughing matter and will require some serious cooling.
Follow the link for a long deck of slides that reveal even more!
Since the introduction of the Haswell line of CPUs, the Internet has been aflame with how hot the CPUs run. Speculation ran rampant on the cause with theories abounding about the lesser surface area and inferior thermal interface material (TIM) in between the CPU die surface and the underside of the CPU heat spreader. It was later confirmed that Intel had changed the TIM interfacing the CPU die surface to the heat spreader with Haswell, leading to the hotter than expected CPU temperatures. This increase in temperature led to inconsistent core-to-core temperatures as well as vastly inferior overclockability of the Haswell K-series chips over previous generations.
A few of the more adventurous enthusiasts took it upon themselves to use inventive ways to address the heat concerns surrounding the Haswell by delidding the processor. The delidding procedure involves physically removing the heat spreader from the CPU, exposing the CPU die. Some individuals choose to clean the existing TIM from the core die and heat spreader underside, applying superior TIM such as metal or diamond-infused paste or even the Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra metal material and fixing the heat spreader back in place. Others choose a more radical solution, removing the heat spreader from the equation entirely for direct cooling of the naked CPU die. This type of cooling method requires use of a die support plate, such as the MSI Die Guard included with the MSI Z97 XPower motherboard.
Whichever outcome you choose, you must first remove the heat spreader from the CPU's PCB. The heat spreader itself is fixed in place with black RTV-type material ensuring a secure and air-tight seal, protecting the fragile die from outside contaminants and influences. Removal can be done in multiple ways with two of the most popular being the razor blade method and the vise method. With both methods, you are attempting to separate the CPU PCB from the heat spreader without damaging the CPU die or components on the top or bottom sides of the CPU PCB.
Intel Haswell-E De-Lidded: Solder Is Its Thermal Interface
Subject: General Tech, Processors | August 24, 2014 - 03:33 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Intel, Haswell-E, Ivy Bridge-E, haswell, solder, thermal paste
Sorry for being about a month late to this news. Apparently, someone got their hands on an Intel Core i7-5960X and they wanted to see its eight cores. Removing the lid, they found that it was soldered directly onto the die with an epoxy, rather than coated with a thermal paste. While Haswell-E will still need to contend with the limitations of 22nm, and how difficult it becomes to exceed various clockspeed ceilings, the better ability to dump heat is always welcome.

While Devil's Canyon (Core i7 4970K) used better thermal paste, the method used with Haswell-E will be event better. I should note that Ivy Bridge-E, released last year, also contained a form of solder under its lid and its overclocking results were still limited. This is not an easy path to ultimate gigahertz. Even so, it is nice that Intel, at least on their enthusiast line, is spending that little bit extra to not introduce artificial barriers.
X99 Manuals Leak: Core i7-5820K Has Reduced PCIe Lanes?

Haswell-E, with its X99 chipset, are expected to launch soon. This will bring a new spread of processors and motherboards to the high-end, enthusiast market. These are the processors that fans of Intel should buy if they have money, want all the RAM, and have a bunch of PCIe expansion cards to install.

If you count the PCIe x1 slots, the table would refer to the first, third, fifth, and seventh slots.
To me, this is not too bad. You are able to use three GPUs with eight-lane bandwidth and stick a four-lane PCIe SSD on the last slot. Considering that each lane is PCIe 3.0, it is similar to having three PCIe 2.0 x16 slots. While two-way and three-way SLI is supported on all CPUs, four-way SLI is only allowed with processors that provide forty lanes of PCIe 3.0.
Gigabyte also provides three PCIe 2.0 x1 slots, which are not handled by the CPU and do not count against its available lanes.
Since I started to write up this news post, Gigabyte seems to have replaced their manual with a single, blank page. Thankfully, I was able to have it cached long enough to finish my thoughts. Some sites claim that the manual failed to mention the 8-8-8 configuration and suggested that configurations of three GPUs were impossible. That is not true; the manual refers to these situations, just not in the most clear of terms.
Haswell-E should launch soon, with most rumors pointing to the end of the month.
VIA's Rumored New "Isaiah II" Based x86 CPU Will Compete With Intel Bay Trail and AMD Kabini Chips
Subject: Processors | August 19, 2014 - 09:06 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: VIA, isaiah II, centaur technologies, centaur
VIA subsidiary Centaur Technology is rumored to be launching a new x86 processor at the end of August based on the "Isaiah II" architecture. This upcoming chip is a 64-bit SoC aimed at the mobile and low power space. So far, the only known implementation is a quad core version clocked at up to 2.0 GHz with a 2MB L2 cache. Benchmarks of the quad core Isaiah II-based processor recently appeared online, and if the SiSoft Sandra results hold true VIA has very competitive chip on its hands that outperforms Intel's Bay Trail Z3770 and holds its own against AMD's Jaguar-based Athlon 5350.
The SiSoft Sandra results below show the alleged Isaiah II quad core handily outmaneuvering Intel's Bay Trail SoC and trading wins with AMD's Athlon 5350. All three SoCs are quad core parts with integrated graphics solutions. The benchmarks were run on slightly different configurations as they do not share a motherboard or chipset in common. In the case of the VIA chip, it was paired with a motherboard using the VIA VX11H chipset).

For comparison, The Atom Z3770 is a quad core clocked at 1.46 GHz (2.39 GHz max turbo) with 2MB L2 cache and Intel HD Graphics clocked at up to 667 MHz supporting up to 4GB of 1066 MHz memory. Bay Trail is manufactured on a 22nm process and has a 2W SDP (Scenario Design Power). Further, the AMD "Kabini" Athlon 5350 features four Jaguar CPU cores clocked at 2.05 GHz, a 128-core GCN GPU clocked at 600 MHz, 2MB L2 cache, and support for 1600 MHz memory. AMD's Kabini SoC is a 28nm chip with a 25W TDP (Thermal Design Power). VIA's new chip allegedly supports modern instruction sets, including AVX 2.0, putting it on par with the AMD and Intel options.

The SiSoft Sandra benchmarks spotted by TechPowerUp suggest that the Centaur Technology designed chip has potential. However, there are still several (important) unknowns at this point. Mainly, price and power usage. Also, the GPU VIA is using in the processor is still a mystery though Scott suspects an S3 GPU is possible through a partnership with HTC.
The chip does seem to be offering up competitive performance, but pricing and power efficiency will play a major role in whether or not VIA gets any design wins with system OEMs. If I had to guess, the VIA chip will sit somewhere between the Intel and AMD offerings with the inclusion of motherboard chipset pushing it towards AMD's higher TDP.
If VIA prices it correctly, we could see the company making a slight comeback in the x86 market with consumer facing devices (particularly Windows 8.1 tablets). VIA has traditionally been known as the low power x86 licensee, and the new expanding mobile market is the ideal place for such a chip. Its past endeavors have not been well received (mainly due to timing and volume production/availability issues of the Nano processors), but I hope that Centaur Technology and VIA are able to pull this one off as I had started to forget the company existed (heh).
Intel and Microsoft Show DirectX 12 Demo and Benchmark
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Processors, Mobile, Shows and Expos | August 13, 2014 - 09:55 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: siggraph 2014, Siggraph, microsoft, Intel, DirectX 12, directx 11, DirectX
Along with GDC Europe and Gamescom, Siggraph 2014 is going on in Vancouver, BC. At it, Intel had a DirectX 12 demo at their booth. This scene, containing 50,000 asteroids, each in its own draw call, was developed on both Direct3D 11 and Direct3D 12 code paths and could apparently be switched while the demo is running. Intel claims to have measured both power as well as frame rate.
Variable power to hit a desired frame rate, DX11 and DX12.
The test system is a Surface Pro 3 with an Intel HD 4400 GPU. Doing a bit of digging, this would make it the i5-based Surface Pro 3. Removing another shovel-load of mystery, this would be the Intel Core i5-4300U with two cores, four threads, 1.9 GHz base clock, up-to 2.9 GHz turbo clock, 3MB of cache, and (of course) based on the Haswell architecture.
While not top-of-the-line, it is also not bottom-of-the-barrel. It is a respectable CPU.
Intel's demo on this processor shows a significant power reduction in the CPU, and even a slight decrease in GPU power, for the same target frame rate. If power was not throttled, Intel's demo goes from 19 FPS all the way up to a playable 33 FPS.
Intel will discuss more during a video interview, tomorrow (Thursday) at 5pm EDT.
Maximum power in DirectX 11 mode.
For my contribution to the story, I would like to address the first comment on the MSDN article. It claims that this is just an "ideal scenario" of a scene that is bottlenecked by draw calls. The thing is: that is the point. Sure, a game developer could optimize the scene to (maybe) instance objects together, and so forth, but that is unnecessary work. Why should programmers, or worse, artists, need to spend so much of their time developing art so that it could be batch together into fewer, bigger commands? Would it not be much easier, and all-around better, if the content could be developed as it most naturally comes together?
That, of course, depends on how much performance improvement we will see from DirectX 12, compared to theoretical max efficiency. If pushing two workloads through a DX12 GPU takes about the same time as pushing one, double-sized workload, then it allows developers to, literally, perform whatever solution is most direct.
Maximum power when switching to DirectX 12 mode.
If, on the other hand, pushing two workloads is 1000x slower than pushing a single, double-sized one, but DirectX 11 was 10,000x slower, then it could be less relevant because developers will still need to do their tricks in those situations. The closer it gets, the fewer occasions that strict optimization is necessary.
If there are any DirectX 11 game developers, artists, and producers out there, we would like to hear from you. How much would a (let's say) 90% reduction in draw call latency (which is around what Mantle claims) give you, in terms of fewer required optimizations? Can you afford to solve problems "the naive way" now? Some of the time? Most of the time? Would it still be worth it to do things like object instancing and fewer, larger materials and shaders? How often?

Seriously prolonged, pretentious and ultimately boring scenes of g/g/b threeways ultimately fails to please, if only because one tires of the viewing after a while.
Some scenes start with unnecessary, drawn out interviewing, leading up to generally good but nothing special fucking and lots of bland b.j. action. The camera swoops in and out nauseatingly, catching every clunky repositioning from every often-bad angle. And the final payoffs in which the girls orally trade the guys' cum loads is detracted by the fact that the girls are often given, well, not too much to trade.
We do have to say that there is some good interplay between the female partners, especially in the closer with Mia Bangg and Georgia X. They have great energy between them while they are engaging in some heavy anal pounding.

Washington, Apr 22 (EFE).- Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the alleged co-author of the Boston Marathon bombings, will not be treated as an enemy combatant and will be tried in a civilian court, the White House announced Monday.
"He will not be treated as an enemy combatant. We will process this terrorist through our system of justice," spokesman Jay Carney said at his daily press briefing.
As a U.S. citizen, the 19-year-old Tsarnaev cannot be tried by a military tribunal, the spokesman pointed out.
"The (civilian justice) system has repeatedly proven that it can successfully handle the threat that we continue to face," Carney said, citing several successful terrorism prosecutions since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The U.S. government formally charged Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with using weapons of mass destruction against people in detonating two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon a week ago, killing three people and wounding more than 180.
A federal judge on Monday came to the room at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center where Tsarnaev is being treated for wounds he suffered in confrontations with police before his capture last Friday night.
Tsarnaev, who remains in serious condition, is communicating with federal investigators in writing, given that he cannot speak after being wounded in the throat in the shootout with police in which his older brother and fellow suspect was killed.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in the shootout with authorities early last Friday morning after he and his younger brother had killed an MIT campus police officer.

First lady Michelle Obama spoke Wednesday afternoon about the importance of preparing nurses to treat veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury and post-combat depression.
Obama and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, attended an event at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia to announce a commitment from nurses to enhance the care and treatment of military service members and veterans. The announcement was part of the one-year anniversary of Obamas Joining Forces campaign to help Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans and their families.
As part of the campaign, more than 500 nursing schools and 150 state and national nursing organizations have pledged to focus on training nurses in the treatment of war wounds that may not be visible. Collectively, the effort is projected to reach more than 3 million nurses in every healthcare setting and community in America by 2015, according to a White House news release.
"Whether were in a hospital, a doctors office or a community health center, nurses are often the first people we see when we walk through the door," Obama said in a statement. "Because of their expertise, they are trusted to be the frontline of Americas healthcare system.
"Thats why Jill and I knew we could turn to Americas nurses and nursing students to help our veterans and military families get the world-class care that theyve earned."
As part of their pledge, participating organizations and schools will ensure nurses are trained in the unique clinical challenges and best practices associated with caring for military service members, veterans and their families; disseminate the most up-to-date information relating to TBI and psychological health conditions; grow the body of knowledge, leading to improvements in healthcare and wellness for service members, veterans and their families; and lead and advance the community of nurses, institutions and healthcare providers dedicated to improving the health of service members, veterans and their families.
Signing up
Participating organizations include the American Nurses Association, American Academy of Colleges of Nursing, American Organization of Nurse Executives, American Association of Nurse Practitioners, American Psychiatric Nurses Association, American Association of Neuroscience Nurses, Association of Rehabilitation Nurses, Association for Womens Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses, National League for Nursing and the federal nurses of the military and public health services and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"Nurses are at the center of providing life-saving care in communities across the country — and their reach is particularly important because our veterans dont always seek care through the [Department of Veterans Affairs] system," Biden said. "This commitment is essential to ensuring our returning service men and women receive the care they deserve."
On a new webpage (www.anajoiningforces.org/) devoted to the campaign, the ANA said only 50% of returning military members receive care in a military or VA system. The rest require care in their home communities, and "because nursing is the largest healthcare workforce and is present in every community, we care for our military service members, veterans and their families in every professional setting. We also know the wounded warriors as family, friends, neighbors and colleagues."
Individual nurses can do their part by ensuring they are "equipped to recognize, know about and make appropriate referrals to quality programs and services," the ANA said. "It is critical that we stand together to demonstrate leadership on this issue to improve the military service members quality of care."
Penny Kaye Jensen, APRN, DNP, FNP-C, FAANP, president of AANP, said: "NPs have and continue to play a vital role in addressing the healthcare needs of veterans and active service members who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, depression and other serious combat-related issues. It is our goal to remain in step with this demand, in touch with our patients and informed regarding the diverse spectrum of health-related concerns they may face."
The AANP plans to advance a comprehensive array of veteran-specific programs and activities, including reaching out to members through the creation of a unique Joining Forces section of its website; publishing a special edition on veterans health in the AANP peer-reviewed journal; creating continuing education programs focusing on issues facing veterans and military families; and planning workshops at the organizations upcoming national conference to promote the wellness of veterans and caregivers.
Going to school
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing created a new web page (www.aacn.nche.edu/joining-forces) that includes the nursing school pledge and a list of participating schools. The association expressed its commitment to work with the nations nursing schools to promote curriculum integration, faculty development and student clinical experiences focused on enhancing the care of veterans, service members and their families.
"Building on its long history of raising curriculum standards and enhancing quality in nursing care, AACN will identify and showcase best practices in nursing education and disseminate information on curricular models to all schools of nursing through webinars, conference programming and an online collaboration community," the association wrote in a news release.
During National Nurses Week (May 6-12), AACN will offer a series of four free webinars reflecting the theme of "Educating Future Nurses to Care for Veterans."
