LINCOLN — Nebraska I-back Rex Burkhead, who hadn't played since Oct. 20 before getting 16 second-half carries Friday at Iowa, came out of the game in good health.
"He's doing great," Husker coach Bo Pelini said Sunday. "He feels great and ready to go."
Burkhead, nagged by a left knee injury, already had sat four straight games and was being held in reserve against the Hawkeyes. The senior then gained 69 yards with a touchdown after halftime as the Huskers clinched their berth in the Big Ten championship game Saturday night in Indianapolis.
"He ran hard. He ran with passion," Pelini said on a Big Ten teleconference. "He did some really good things, made some really tough yards."
In NU's first meeting with Wisconsin, Burkhead carried 18 times for 86 yards on Sept. 29.
Wisconsin expects linebacker Chris Borland to be ready for the Big Ten championship game after missing the last two weeks with a hamstring injury. The Badgers also hope leading receiver Jared Abbrederis will be ready after suffering a concussion Saturday at Penn State.
"I know he felt good coming off the plane," Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said. "I know if it's in Abby's hands, I think he'll be ready to practice by Tuesday."
UW eyes repeat of last year
Wisconsin would like to take the same route to a Big Ten championship that it did a year ago, when it rebounded from a crushing 37-31 regular-season loss at Michigan State to beat the Spartans 42-39 in the inaugural Big Ten title game.
The Badgers lost 30-27 at Nebraska this season after leading 27-10 in the third quarter.
"I told our coaches this morning, and we'll tell the players this afternoon, that there's never been a team in Big Ten history that's been able to do this and win, and we own that title right now, being able to do it last year in a redemption game against Michigan State," Bielema said Sunday.
But both Bielema and Pelini said the teams have changed in the last two months.
"I don't really put much stock in what happened the first game, and I'm sure Wisconsin won't, either," Pelini said. "It's a different time, different place, different point in the year. The first game isn't going to affect what happens in the second game."
Title game experience
Wisconsin has the experience of winning last year's Big Ten championship, but Nebraska has many veterans who played in Big 12 title games in Dallas. NU lost 23-20 to Oklahoma in 2010 and 13-12 to Texas in 2009.
They know how to handle the situation, Pelini said, and those losses might add some "extra motivation."

"I don't know if you need that at this time of year, but we fell short against two really good football teams in two really good football games," he said. "We fell short, and we're trying to knock the door down."
Bielema: Big Ten game special
Bielema made it sound as if Nebraska and its fans will be in for a special trip. He said the pageantry and events surrounding the 2011 Big Ten championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium were impressive, and that the Big Ten has set the bar high.
"To be quite honest, it's unlike anything else I've ever done," Bielema said.
Bielema took part in the Big 12 championship game in 2003 as an assistant at Kansas State when the Wildcats upset No. 1 Oklahoma 35-7. But, he said, "It didn't have near the big-game feel that this thing has."
As a "Big Ten traditionalist" who grew up in Illinois, played at Iowa and lives in Wisconsin, Bielema said he was among those who wondered if the league title game should be played outdoors. His first trip to Indianapolis settled that question.
"As far as the ability to give our fans the best opportunity to watch a great game, it probably couldn't be any better than it is in Indianapolis," he said.
Does playing inside Dec. 1 benefit Nebraska and all its offensive speed and weapons?
Bielema said he doesn't see it as any different than when the Huskers were on their home turf playing in good weather Sept. 29.
"So I don't know if they can play much faster just because they've got a roof over their head," he said.
No bulletin-board material
Pelini and the Huskers won't be waiting for any bulletin-board material coming out of the Wisconsin camp this week — and said NU didn't make much out of what it heard the last time around.
Before the game in Lincoln, Badgers defensive end David Gilbert questioned any improvement in Husker quarterback Taylor Martinez's game and mechanics, and said, "It still looks like he's skipping rocks out there to me."
Gilbert also called Martinez "a soft kid."
It earned Gilbert a spot on the Wisconsin bench to start the game.
"Let's face it: Guys say things all the time," Pelini said Sunday. "David Gilbert was just trying to motivate his team, whatever it is. We don't pay attention to that, the same way if somebody on our team is going to say something it's not going to affect Wisconsin."

Fighting over school lunches
On this week's show, we'll hear about a fight over school lunches and learn how one New Bloomfield school was able to introduce new technology into the classroom.
Schools across the U.S. are putting more fruits and vegetables on lunch trays and less meat and bread. The changes are meant to counter childhood obesity, but parents say their kids are still hungry after they clean their plates. Harvest Public Media's Grant Gerlock reports that for some schools and families the changes have been hard to swallow.
And, as some schools struggle with funding, one rural Mid-Missouri school is able to invest in technology despite the tough economic times. KBIA's Evan Townsend has the story.

We were a bit hesitant at first but then there was a sale we just couldn't resist. So glad we purchased this stove, it's awesome! Love the meat probe feature and the convection oven for baking really makes a difference. The warming drawer is great too and will come in handy for Thanksgiving. It looks stunning and matches our Kenmore Elite refrigerator perfectly.

Replace a similar stove, and can't believe the improvements they have made. Read other comments before purchasing and all the hype about the noise is just that! Those that cant take a little fan running should get out of the kitchen.

This is the third smooth top range I have owned and what a disappointment. It is beautiful, but I would not recommend it if you plan on using it. The top scratches easily and is very hard to clean. I have talked to the sales associates with no satisfaction.

We have only had this stove for 3 weeks and seems to work well. I do have a complaint however. The control pad is sooo sensitive that it beeps if you just barely brush across it. You can lock the stove top but that does not seem to lock all of the buttons so I have turned on the cleaning feature a few time while reaching to get something from the microwave above. Just wiping the control pad clean causing it to beep.

We shopped and read lots of reviews leading up to the purchase of this range. Knowing that we weren't upgrading our countertop eliminated two other potential ranges that we liked... one was slightly tapered at the back and the other would have left the unfinished sides of countertop show. This aside, we are finding this range to be the workhorse we need. My husband and I love to cook. We find the turbo boil (a name I find a bit hokey) wonderful for getting water heated rapidly, the other burners are quick to operate, too - be aware when you first begin to cook with it. Others have commented that the controls are touchy-not a big deal. We convection-roasted a turkey this past week and it was delicious. It's proving to be a good buy for us! Side note about original delivery from N Ky store...the first range delivered came on schedule but the installer saw the top was cracked before he brought it in the house. No problem getting another delivered in short order!

In addition to the other negatives ( noise, rattling using convection), this oven seems to have a dangerous design flaw. The sides of the oven liner bow out slightly after you've used the self clean cycle. Since the oven liner then becomes slightly wider, the oven racks (which have not changed in size) no longer fit and tend to fall down when weight (such as a tray of hot food or a turkey) is placed on them. The Internet has multiple reports of this happening with sears kenmore ovens. Google "oven racks fall down" before you even think of buying!!!
Rotonda West, FL
via sears.com
I have been through FOUR of these stoves and, although they do a great job cooking, they rattle and make excessive noise when using convection. This seems to be a design flaw. You do not hear noise when you first turn it on but as the temperature rises, the noises appear. If you buy it, turn on convection roast, stand there, and let the temperature go up to at least 350 degrees ( the default setting). When you get I to the mid or high two hundreds you will begin to hear the noise. Each of my four samples did it, but to varing degrees. As regards cooking, however,the oven did a great job.

Human Resources The Federal and Michigan Work-Study Program In order to be considered for the Federal and/or Michigan Work-Study Program, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (also called the FAFSA). You may request these forms by contacting the Student Financial Services office at 269. 471. 3334 or 800.253.3874 and ask for the Student Financial Services office. If you qualify for the program, your award letter from Student Financial Services will tell you how much Work-Study money you are eligible to earn. Students enrolled less than half time and/or pursuing theology degrees are not eligible for this program. The Work-Study Program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. If you are an undergraduate student, you will most likely be paid by the hour, but if you are a graduate student, you may be paid by the hour or you may receive a stipend or salary. Your Work-Study wages will be at least the current federal minimum wage, but it may be higher, depending on the type of work you do and the skills required. Your total Work-Study award depends on when you apply, your level of need, and the funding level of your school. Work-Study students are paid every two weeks for the hours they have worked. The paycheck will be for the entire earnings, minus taxes. The government developed the Work-Study Program for three reasons:
Keeping a Work-Study Position In order to maintain your eligibility for the Work-Study Program, you must:

While I've yet to meet a dermatologist who's on the no-dairy bandwagon, almost every single esthetician has the exact opposite opinion.
In which I say "NO" to things I like in an effort to look and feel better.
You guys asked! And now I'm answering. Here are some of my favorite tricks and products.
Being angry all the time is messing up a lot of things, but it's really messing up your skin.
This is my left arm after an angry bubble of olive oil attacked me for no good reason.
Brought to you by the cheapest beauty broad NOT in the beauty biz.
aa cream
After getting a shitload of "Which one do I use?" questions from friends, I feel like it might be time to define industry buzz terms like "AA," "BB" and "CC" creams.
ask dita
Allow me to commend you on having the good sense to care about the future of your skin!
maternity products
Whatever your particular routine requires, you're likely to find a safer, inexpensive, environmentally friendly alternative in the maternity section of your beauty boutique.
Anyway, around this time you'll see a lot of articles on "Red Carpet Trends" -- have you noticed they're literally the same from year to year?
Logically I know that pushing at a blackhead until it erupts is only going to make things worse. And yet!
People comment on my melanin shortage on a weekly basis. When I was at the beach, a stranger told me I "really needed" a tan before I dared to wear a bikini.
I'm like the Goldilocks of Makeup: This foundation is too yellow, this one is too white, this one is too chalky, etc.
There's no real inspiration behind this look, but I think the words "disco hooker" do it justice. Take that as you will, but I think it's super glamorous.
I've figured out two steps you can do before and after showering for the softest skin possible.
Remind me to tell y'all about the time I bathed in volcanic mud in Colombia another day.
Because having great skin shouldn't break the bank.
Skin problems, period-induced meltdowns and the magical drugstore buys that just might help take the edge off.
Back in high school, when everyone's skin was freakin' out real bad, I would respond to my friends' complaints about their acne by telling them, "I don't know what you're talking about," because, "I've never had a pimple." What. A. Dick.
Each week I try the weird beauty DIY homemade shit just for you. Think of my face as a lab, and your eyes as the thing in labs that scientists look through when, y'know, considering microbes.
My skin care motto? Don't put all of your aesthetic eggs in one basket. Translation: Don't just trust your face wash alone.
If you've already conceded to concealer, go ahead and bookmark this one.

RUMFORD — Panelists at a wind energy forum Wednesday night lambasted the state for not conducting more studies on the potential impact of wind farms and Dr. Dora Ann Mills, the state's chief medical officer, for not pursuing possible health issues related to them.
The panelists warned that wind energy would be both more expensive and result in greater pollution.
About 50 people turned out for the decidedly one-sided presentation on potential wind farm development in Rumford and other locations in Western Maine.
The forum, sponsored by the River Valley Wind Education Committee, was held about a month before Rumford and Dixfield voters will decide whether to adopt wind energy ordinances.
Panelist J Dwight, an economist from Wilton and one of the four panelists, said using electricity generated from wind turbines would likely double utility bills by 2020.
"We have enough power already," he said.
He said later during the forum that First Wind LLC of Boston, Mass., which proposes constructing about a dozen turbines on Black Mountain and an adjacent mountain, is financially bankrupt.
"This is a company that should be scrutinized," he said.
Dr. Albert Aniel, a local doctor, said Mills has not had a study conducted on the effects of the Mars Hill wind farm on residents there.
"The Department of Health and Human Services is not interested," he said.
Also speaking was Robert Rand, a sound engineer from Brunswick who displayed a series of graphs showing how sound levels from turbines could affect people living at various distances from a turbine. He also played a recording of two turbines he said was made one mile from the turbines. He was eventually asked to turn off the sound when Rumford wind ordinance committee member Len Greaney asked whether people in the Mountain Valley High School auditorium would have a problem with such noise.
Rand said he has conducted studies or found studies that show how people can become highly annoyed when sounds reach 45 decibels, which is the level sanctioned by the state for nighttime sounds. During the day, the permitted level rises to 55 decibels.
Rumford resident Dan Richard asked whether it was safe to say that the panel is against wind power in general.
"This panel is not in favor of wind," Dwight said.
Richard said about 600,000 gallons of fuel oil are used each day at the Cousins Island electrical plant.
"And look how many trucks roll in there each day," he said.
Another man asked whether Rand had measured the level of noise coming from the NewPage mill in Rumford.
Rand said that although he has not measured it, any noise coming from mills tends to be steady, and not variable as he said wind turbines produce.
Karen Pease, a Realtor from Highland Plantation, where another wind farm is proposed, also spoke as part of the panel.
She said turbine construction would decrease the value of homes sited within two miles.
She said a study conducted in Illinois suggested that wind farm developers should guarantee property values, and turbines should be shut down if the noise level goes beyond 10 decibels above ambient sound.
Both Dixfield and Rumford residents will vote on their respective proposed wind turbine ordinances on Nov. 2.

Designer Comments The development of every new IP model entails a challenge to evolve the design in ways that will further increase its appeal and enjoyment for new owners while retaining the fundamental attributes that are consistently held as "most important" by our current owners. I feel the new Island Packet 360 does both, maintaining our yachts' position of being in a class by themselves among cruising sailboats. Perhaps the most frequently mentioned quality that makes an Island Packet our owner's singular choice among all boats is our exemplary reputation for "safety and seakeeping". A fundamental reason for this is Island Packet's exclusive Full Foil Keel® , and the new 360 continues with this unique design feature, providing a combination of features and benefits for the cruising sailor that is unrivaled by any other keel configuration: • Integral hull and keel with encapsulated internal ballast for maximum structural integrity and worry-free attachment concerns • Moderate draft with industry best stability qualities
• Superb seakeeping on and off the wind with easy steering control and superior onboard comfort in a seaway • Protection for rudder and prop from grounding and fouled lines or traps
• Double reinforced and gently sloped leading edge of the keel to deflect impact with submerged objects • Full length multi-laminate ballast cap provides "double bottom" protection • Highly evolved hull and keel shapes deliver winning sailing performance as proven in numerous offshore race victories Second, and almost equal for "most valued quality" among our owners, is our high level of "comfort and livability". I think the new 360 delivers on all counts in this regard. Two comfortable private staterooms are featured with easily accessed large berths and generous stowage areas. The spacious head compartment has separate entries from the saloon or the forward stateroom, a sink vanity, electric flush head and dedicated shower area with seat. The main saloon is open, bright and, with the hinged bulkhead mounted table able to be quickly dropped or stowed, is perfect for socializing, sharing meals or a quiet retreat. The large settee to port converts into a double berth and — a first for an IP interior — two comfortable reclining and swiveling arm chairs to starboard add a new level of luxury and comfort to the saloon and nav/office area (a settee is available in lieu of chairs for those preferring this arrangement). The galley features twin refrigeration compartments, either or both of which may be used as a freezer at the push of a button, a gas range, microwave oven (AC) and generous storage areas above and below the counter. Because our integral keel requires no interior access for keel bolt inspection or related keel attachment maintenance and repair issues, all tankage on the 360 can be centrally located below the cabin sole in single large tanks, significantly increasing available stowage elsewhere in the yacht, minimizing trim changes with varying tank levels and lowering the center of gravity for improved stability. Eleven opening ports, numerous deck hatches and two Dorade vents keep the interior fresh and bright. Comfort and livability features extend above deck also, and the full length cockpit seats with ergonomic backrests and separate raised helm seat make this area particularly inviting. All frequently used sail control lines are accessible from the security of the cockpit, making sailing more enjoyable and stress free than ever. Full length raised bulwarks and cabin top handrails, a generous forepeak with deck access for ground tackle and related gear and Island Packet's patented SeaSafe™ captive anchor roller make mooring, docking and anchoring especially convenient. Among the many other features that our owners value, the cutter rig is always near the top of the list. The reasons for its inclusion on the 360 are its versatility, ease of use and the added performance provided by the Hoyt Boom® equipped staysail. The patented Hoyt Boom is self-tending when tacking and self-vanging on all points of sail, measurably enhancing performance while simplifying sail handling. The sailing performance capability of Island Packets has been well proven by our owners' numerous offshore race victories over the years in all types of sailing conditions. While I take great pleasure in their accomplishments in competition, I am equally proud of the large and continually growing roster of IP owners who have made transoceanic passages or completed circumnavigations of the world, often with just a couple as crew. The glowing feedback from these and all of our owners has been an invaluable resource for the continual improvement and evolution of each new model. Of course, the IP360 also benefits from our longstanding reputation in the industry as a leader in construction quality, encompassing proprietary materials and methods as well as benchmark fit, finish, and attention to detail. Island Packet is the only company to offer a three year "stem-tostern" new boat warranty, plus extended 10-year warranty coverage for osmotic blisters and deck core deterioration, reflecting the confidence in our construction technologies. Extraordinary quality assurance procedures and customer care efforts have resulted in numerous national customer satisfaction awards and unrivaled value to the buyer/owner worldwide. The new Island Packet 360 is the direct beneficiary of 30 plus years of our combined design, build and sailing experience, offering the buyer a uniquely qualified vessel for fun weekend getaways or extended cruising to new ports of call. Regards, Bob Johnson, N.A.

Celebrity Hotel of the Week: The Guanahani in St. Barthelemy
Last time we covered St. Tropez' Byblos Hotel. And we have another French hotel and celeb hotspot for this week's Celebrity Hotel of the Week. Smack dab in the middle of the French West Indies is the Hotel Guanahani and Spa in Saint Barthelemy. A fave amongst celebrities such as Naomi Watts, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Jon Bon Jovi, the Guanahani is the finest of luxury hotel resorts.
Located on a private 16-acre peninsula, you'll find amazing beaches, dining, Creole-styled rooms and suites that'll blow you away, shopping…it's all there at the Guanahani, just waiting for your arrival. And talk about some incredible free activities and services!
Included with your room stay: free Continental breakfast either in your room or at the Indigo restaurant, canoes and pedal boats, snorkeling, windsurfing, tennis courts, a fitness center, and daytime Kindergarten for children 2-6 years of age. By the way? Kids six and under stay for free. And for a little extra, there's jet-skis, boat rentals, scuba diving, bars on the beach, and instructors for tennis and windsurfing.
The Guanahani has 68 rooms, all in private bungalows with private terraces. There are 34 suites (some with private pools), 24-hour room service, satellite TV with LCD flatscreens, DVD players (DVD library available at the front desk), and free Internet.
Gastronomically speaking, there are lots of good eats around, including Indigo (a wonderful poolside restaurant on the beach) and Bartolomeo (gourmet dining and lounge bar). Scrumptious Mediterranean/Italian dishes at Bartolomeo are faves of Marisa Miller and Gisele Bundchen alike, and you can't beat a romantic meal at night with the stars overhead.
The spa at Guanahani rocks, too. Get a look at some of these views. Steam room, massages, rejuvenation packages. There's even a salon on the premises.
Rates. Right. Well,depending on the room and the time of year, prices start at 360 Euros (currency converter here) and work their way up from there. A Superior Gardenview Room, for example, is 360 Euros a night during the summer and 915 Euros a night during the Christmas holiday. An Ocean 1-Bedroom Poolside Suite, with private pool overlooking the sea starts at 1,095 Euros in the summer and goes up to 1,655 Euros over Christmas and New Year's.
But if you're really going for the celebrity treatment, you can get a suite with butler service! Yeah, baby! The most expensive one – La Villa – starts at 2,800 Euros a day and tops out at 5,700 Euros a day. Think I'll stay for a month. Or maybe just for 15 minutes, because that'll only cost me 60 Euros. How much can a butler do in 15 minutes, anyway?
Fine beaches, luxurious rooms, poolside bars, the warm sunny climate…yeah. I can't wait to get there. Who wants to be my Sugar Mama?
CELEBS SPOTTED: Marisa Miller, Selita Ebanks, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Gisele Bundchen, Naomi Watts, Laetitia Casta, Stephanie Seymour, Karen Mulder, Yasmeen Ghuri, Jon Bon Jovi.
And if anyone has any tips for hot celebrity hotels, feel free to let me know.

Report: Eccentric Billionaire Hopes to Clone Dinosaurs

Will dreams of real-life Jurassic Park be realized?
Australian mining mogul Clive Palmer is one of his nation's richest men, holding a fortune of over $8.4B USD and controlling much of the nation's rich mineral supplies. Like many billionaires, Mr. Palmer has occupied himself with odd projects, including the soccer (football) club he owns, Gold Coast United.
I. Billionaire Sets Sights on Reviving the Saurians
But following a 2009 heart attack due to sleep apnea, Mr. Palmer became increasingly eccentric setting his sights on more unusual projects.
The billionaire recent revealed plans to build a replica of the Titanic in China and sail it as a luxury cruise liner in the waters around Australia, as early as 2016. Now he reportedly has taken an interest in cloning
a dinosaur
according to
local Australian newspaper
Sunshine Coast Daily

The RMS Titanic
. He's rumored to be aiming to recreate a dinosaur next. [Image Source: EPA/Dan Peled]
Mr. Palmer has scheduled a press conference for Friday in Brisbane, Australia.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson has already confirmed that Mr. Palmer plans to build a new resort dubbed the "Palmer Resort" in the Middle East, featuring "fly-in, fly-out Muslim hospitality staff." The resort will include a 20-story sky needle and an oversized ferris wheel in the style of the London Eye.
But according to a source who leaked those plans early, Mr. Palmer's wildest dream for the resort is to clone a dinosaur and set it loose in a special exhibit at the resort for his guests to watch. The source claimed to the newspaper that Mr. Palmer has retained the expertise of the
team that cloned Dolly the sheep
to try to make it happen.
II. Plan is Likely Not Feasible With Current Technology
Assuming the report is accurate and not an elaborate joke on the part of Mr. Palmer and his friends, the dinosaur ambitions will prove daunting.
Thus far researchers have discovered soft tissue samples from dinosaur bones, but it is unclear whether DNA -- which is easily destroyed by water-based reactions -- could have survived for millions of years. Back in 1994
an article
[abstract] by microbiologist
Scott Woodward
Brigham Young University
, who claimed to have found dinosaur DNA in a bone specimen. However, the claim was questioned and has been heavily criticized in discussion since.
The good news for the DNA hunters is that
recent microbiology analyses
[abstract] have revealed that dinosaur cells were very similar to bird cells, hence their genome was likely similar to birds. Why is that good news? Birds have a very "small" genome compared to fellow vertebrates, at around 1.4 billion base pairs, versus just over 3 billion for humans.
Still, recovered DNA sequences from fossilized bugs have been only 250 to 300 base pairs long [
]. Hence you'd still need to conjure up tens, if not hundreds of millions of fragments in order to "finish" a dinosaur.
There's several speculative routes to "resurrecting" the dinosaur, however they all remain highly improbable. [Image Source: The Field Museum]
Such analysis would also be complicated by the possibility of genetic material from bacteria who were oft living inside dinosaurs' bodies and played a crucial role in some forms of fossilization. Bacterial and fungal DNA could be excluded by comparing to map bacterial gene sequences, but this would be a daunting task.
Dr. David L. Stern
, a
Princeton University
professor who wrote 2010's book
Evolution, Development, & the Predictable Genome
has proposed
an alternative route, suggesting that by comparing modern descendants of dinosaurs (e.g. birds and mammals) scientist could eventually backtrack genetic development to create possible dinosaur genomes.
A final possibility would be to somehow locate a
specimen and use the aforementioned methods to try to speculate/create close genetic relatives. Of course this would require finding a living dinosaur.
And while the discovery of
Latimeria chalumnae
and the
Latimeria menadoensis
(Coelocanths) off the coast of Africa have raised hopes of finding something more exotic -- such as a plesiosaur -- experts say such survival stories are increasingly improbable as the size of the creature increases. Hence, whatever wiped out the dinosaurs was less likely successively to wipe out an ancient fish, insect, or fungus.
So how exactly does Mr. Palmer hope to create a dinosaur? Who knows, but he might find more fortune trying to resurrect
a more recently extinct animal
, such as the mammoth, whose
genome is nearing completion
. If he's feeling ambitious, he could always try to clone a sabertooth tiger -- such as
Smilodon populator
remember me

RE: He could try that...
Because... dinosaurs are COOL, gees :|
But for all practical purposes, I don't think we've ever gotta DNA from dinosaur remains (I'm looking at you, turkey sandwich incident). Such DNA would be in incredibly small, unreliable fragments, and this article's mention about bacterial contamination is very relevant. We might just end up making raptor headed streptococci or something.

When you think of the American Red Cross, what likely comes to mind is boots on the ground when hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters hit; international humanitarian relief efforts; blood drives; and CPR training courses. But a core part of its mission also is to support U.S. military personnel and their families. As such, the organization founded by Clara Barton more than 125 years ago has been a state-of-the-art partner in developing continuing medical education activities aimed at improving care for today's military, National Guard, and Reserves as they return from active duty in Afghanistan and Iraq.
That's what Bonnie Bixler, MEd, assistant director, continuing education, Penn State College of Medicine, in Hershey, Pa., discovered when she picked up the phone last year and found the American Red Cross' Armed Forces Pennsylvania State Manager Margaret Pepe, PhD, JD, on the line with a unique proposition. Pepe wanted to develop an educational activity that would improve the screening and referral skills of the state's primary care and mental health professionals so that they could better meet the needs of returning military service members who might be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury.
The two soon discovered it would take expanding the partnership to include a managed care company and Department of Defense health affiliates to pull off the activity they had envisioned. Here's how they did it.
Finding the Practice Gap
As someone whose job is to connect Red Cross programs and services with military organizations in the state, Pepe considered the need for the activity obvious. In a session at the 2012 Alliance for Continuing Education in the Health Professions, she explained that more than 2.1 million men and women have served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom in the more than 10 years the U.S. has been at war. Many of these are National Guard and Reserves personnel, who return to civilian jobs when their rotations are completed. Pennsylvania has the largest contingent of National Guardsmen deployed during OIF and OEF—nearly 20,000.
Unlike in previous wars, most injuries incurred by those fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan come from improvised explosive devices and rocket-propelled grenades, which means that more returning military service personnel are coming back with PTSD and TBI than has been the case in the past. In fact, Pepe said, 22 percent of all returning service personnel have some form of TBI, and it's estimated that one-third of troops suffer from PTSD when they return home.
And yet, particularly in the case of returning Guard and Reserve personnel who are known to their physicians in their civilian roles, when they go see their family doctor about recurring headaches, irritability, insomnia, and other classic symptoms of PTSD and TBI—things that also could have other causes—the doctor may not have the information needed to make the correct diagnosis. "PTSD and TBI have been recognized as common co-morbidities in this population. They're the silent and often unrecognized signatures of these particular combats," Pepe said.
Although the American Red Cross provides psychological first aid for military families that includes educational outreach to community healthcare providers and to the families of returning service members, it needed an accredited CME provider to provide the hook—the CME and CE credits—and the programming that would draw in the primary care physicians who most needed the education. So Pepe called Bixler at Penn State's School of Medicine—which,in addition to being an accredited CME provider that was "practically in her back yard," also was where Pepe earned her PhD—to develop a symposium that would help primary care and other healthcare providers better recognize and treat returning military service people with PTSD and mild to moderate TBI.
Finding the Funding
Bixler says that, while Penn State had worked with the military before, it hadn't yet done anything on this specific topic. She was enthusiastic about the idea of using national partnerships with federal behavioral health agencies in Pennsylvania to benefit the state's Guards and Reserves, and she got to work right away drafting up a budget.
However, being a self-sustaining CME department that must cover all direct costs involved with an activity, "We quickly realized that there was going to be a shortfall," Bixler says. So she and Pepe thought about potential funders who would also have a vested interest in serving this community of providers to improve the lives of returning military and their families.
The answer they came up with was Health Net Federal Services LLC, the managed care support contractor the Department of Defense uses to provide civilian sector physical and behavioral healthcare services to nearly three million active and retired National Guard/Reserve members and their families who live in the 23 states that make up the TRICARE North Region, including Pennsylvania.
According to Health Net's medical director, Joyce Grissom, MD, "It was a natural fit for us. We were happy to pitch in some financial support and to have the opportunity to inform them about the TRICARE benefit and VA benefits."
This is particularly important in Pennsylvania, she says, where returning guard and service members are "geographically challenged" when it comes to getting care in a DoD or VA facility, since they are few and far between in the state. "We wanted to work with nonmilitary care providers to meet their needs," she says.
Designing the Activity
The partners decided to create a one-day symposium that would be held four times in 2011 in western, central, and eastern Pennsylvania. The mainly didactic program included morning presentations on the etiology, assessment, and treatment of PTSD, followed by information on TBI screening and symptom management for the military, dealing with co-occurring TBI and PTSD, and how to help returning service members reintegrate into their families and communities. "Because we thought primary care would be our main audience, we focused on assessment and treatment," says Bixler.
But first they had to find speakers who could address the topics in a military-specific way. As they began their research, two strategic partners rose to the top of their list: The Department of Defense Center for Deployment Psychology, and the Defense and Veteran's Brain Injury Center. Bixler's organization had recently had a speaker from the latter talk about TBI at Penn State's annual Challenges in Critical Care conference, and Pepe had been involved with a program called Coping with Deployment, which included an introduction to military culture and PTSD by the Defense Center for Deployment Psychology's deputy director, William Brim, PsyD. They tapped Brim to open the symposium with a similar PTSD overview, and DVBIC's national director to kick off the TBI portion of the program.
The design of the activity was a group effort, stresses Bixler. Grissom adds, "We were totally in agreement with the sourcing of the speakers. Part of the core mission for both of the organizations is training healthcare providers." Bixler adds that Health Net and the Red Cross were instrumental in providing the data demonstrating the need for this type of education in Pennsylvania to improve the screening of returning military for PTSD and mild to moderate TBI.
Grissom rounded out the day with a closing session on the resources the military and the VA make available to both returning military service men and women and those who provide care for them.
Pulling In Participants
To help draw the medical and behavioral healthcare providers that they wanted to come to the symposia, Bixler was able to provide American Medical Association Physician Recognition Award Category 1 credit for physicians, psychiatrists, and others with medical degrees; American Academy of Family Physician credits for the primary care providers; Pennsylvania State Nursing Association credits for nurses; and American Psychological Association credits for the therapists, behavioral counselors, and marriage and family social workers.
Bixler says that, though her office does provide an annual social work conference and other activities with APA credit, most of what they offer targets mainly primary care and other physicians, so that was her main concentration in marketing the symposia. "We did what we could with the behavioral and mental health folks, but we relied more on Health Net and the Red Cross because of their strong ties to those professions," she says.
Because the Red Cross works closely with mental health professionals who volunteer their services during natural disasters, it wasn't a reach for that organization to spread the word to those disciplines, says Marjorie Kukor, PhD, senior associate, mental health, Service to the Armed Forces, American Red Cross, who took over the symposia-planning duties after Pepe retired from her official capacity with the Red Cross earlier this year. Among the many organizations to which the American Red Cross sent electronic invitations were the local hospitals and insurance companies, and health/behavioral health and professional association contacts.
Health Net reached out to its networks of specialty and primary care providers through e-mails and fax blasts, and all involved put notices on their Web sites and asked partnering organizations to do the same on their Web sites and listservs. Health Net also issued a press release on the symposia and used its legislative liaison channels to spread the word.
They also kept the pricing "low enough to be attractive compared to other offerings, but high enough to prevent excessive no-shows," says Bixler. This strategy worked well—there were very few who signed up who didn't actually come to the symposium.
In the end, they attracted a total of more than 250 participants to the four symposia. While the aim was to bring in both primary care and behavioral health providers, "What we found was that this was far and away of greatest interest to those on the behavioral side, which ranged from behavioral health nurses to licensed clinical social workers and psychiatrists," says Grissom. More than half were master's degree–level behavioral health professionals, with a good smattering of nurses, psychologists, physicians, and physician assistants. About one-third of participants had a relationship with TRICARE.
Evaluating Effectiveness
The organizers did immediate post-activity evaluations and followed up with a six- to 12-month post-activity survey. As Grissom points out, they knew that a one-day course wouldn't make participants accomplished cognitive behavioral therapists—the point was more to provide an introduction to PTSD and TBI for returning military personnel, and to show how to get more detailed military-specific training on the topic.
The results showed that it helped build awareness of the signature characteristics of the PTSD and TBI that service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are suffering from—83 percent said they gained new strategies in the immediate post-activity evaluation. More than half said they planned to implement those new strategies. In the follow-up survey, which got a 39 percent response rate, 38 percent said they used screening tools for PTSD more than they had previously, and 23 percent said they used TBI screening tools more often.
Getting physical and behavioral healthcare providers to ask new patients if they have a military deployment history sounds simple, but it's important, says Grissom. If they don't know someone was exposed to an IED blast while deployed, HCPs may not connect nonspecific issues such as sleep, anger management problems, and headaches to a PTSD or TBI diagnosis.
Twenty-nine percent also said in the follow-up survey that they had changed their referral habits, including more referrals for medical testing, and more referrals to neuro and for brain MRIs. Among the strategies they reported implementing post-symposium were asking clients about their military background and if they had been injured in ways that could cause TBI (41 percent); improving their assessment of PTSD/TBI co-morbidities (32 percent); screening for blows to the head and consulting with spouses and partners about behavior issues (32 percent); using behavioral techniques for dealing with troubling dreams (29 percent); increased use of TBI and PTSD assessment tools (27 percent), and treating nightmares (23 percent).
Taking the Next Step
While the symposia did not attract the number of primary care practitioners the partners hoped for, it was still considered a success. Keeping in mind lessons learned during the 2011 series, they relaunched the symposia in 2012 to cover an expanded geographical area. The first, held in July in Arlington, Va., attracted about 100 participants. They are headed to Watertown, N.Y., and New York City in the fall, and to Dayton, Ohio, in November. "We covered Pennsylvania pretty thoroughly in 2011, so we used the Red Cross and Health Net data to pinpoint concentrations of post-deployed Guards and Reserves to determine where to take it next," says Bixler.
One change for 2012 was to bring in the DoD's National Center for Telehealth and Technology, also known as T2, which along with DVBIC and the Center for Deployment Psychology falls under the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury. T2's addition to the program includes online technological resources
and applications for those who need help with self-managing issues such as sleep problems.
There's also a program that uses avatars to help people address their combat experiences, as well as online resources for the families of returning military, and apps to help those on the provider side do things like manage mild TBI. "We've seen them demonstrate these resources at other meetings, and we invited them to send a presenter this year; we invited participants to bring their smartphones and tablets so they could be walked through the various resources and apps," says Grissom.
"We're starting now to focus on not just raising awareness of the issues," says the Red Cross' Kukor, "but also what resources are available and what participants can do to learn more."
While the program received high marks from the primary care physicians who did attend, the problem of getting more of them to come remains. The partners wonder if the one-day seminar format may be a sticking point for this particular audience.
"They need recognition and screening strategies and first-stop management strategies for mild TBI, which is less than what the behavioral health side needs on the topic," says Grissom. The idea is to streamline the information this type of participant needs into a one- or two-hour session that can be offered as part of other educational events that primary care physicians already attend, or perhaps as a webinar or some other type of online offering.
"We're looking for more ways to work with our partners," Grissom says, "especially the Center for Deployment Psychology, because the behavioral interest is so high. We'll complete the four symposia we have scheduled for this year, then see where we can most usefully take it from there."
Kukor adds, "We likely will be looking at how we can be a funnel to make what's out there more useful to the majority of mental health and primary care providers to give them direction once they have awareness of the issues. It might mean adding specific topics; it might mean more collaboration, depending on the feedback we get and what the professional literature says."
"We do know there is a lot of need, and that people who need help may not be close to a military or VA facility that can assist them," Grissom points out. "So a community-based approach to meeting their needs is something that needs to be developed more robustly to provide the best and most compassionate services to these folks and their families."

Born in Detroit, Michigan, on February 19, 1940, Smokey Robinson is second to only Berry Gordy in the founding of Motown. A prolific songwriter, he is credited with 4,000 songs and 37 Top 40 hits, including "Tears of a Clown," "Tracks of My Tears" and "Love Machine." Robinson also served as vice president of Motown records, writing and producing hits for groups such as The Temptations ("My Girl") and Mary Wells ("My Guy").
Early Career: The Miracles
Singer, songwriter and record producer Smokey Robinson was born William Robinson Jr. on February 19, 1940, in Detroit, Michigan. Growing up in a rough neighborhood, Robinson started out singing in local groups. In the early 1950s, he formed the Matadors, which later became the world-famous group The Miracles. A chance meeting with record producer Berry Gordy Jr. led to a contract with Motown Records as well as an important working relationship.
The Miracles scored their first big hit with "Shop Around" (1960) and developed quite a following with their energetic R&B sound. The group has numerous hits, including "You Really Got a Hold on Me" (1962) and "I Second That Emotion" (1967). Robinson also worked behind the scenes, composing and producing for The Miracles and other Motown artists, such as Mary Wells and The Temptations. His work contributed to the success of Motown Records and helped advance the popularity of soul music.
Solo Career
Robinson went solo in 1972, creating a more mellow sound for himself. Often associated with romantic soul music, he released such successful albums as A Quiet Storm (1974) and Touch the Sky (1983). The mid-1980s were a difficult time for him as he battled a drug addiction. Robinson openly discussed his cocaine problem as well as many other personal topics in his 1989 autobiography, Smokey: Inside My Life. He has credited his recovery from substance abuse to his religious faith.
Robinson went on to win his first Grammy Award as a solo artist (best R&B vocal performance) in 1987, for the song "Just To See Her" from the album One Heartbeat. His later solo recordings included Double Good Everything (1991) and Intimate (1999). He took his work in a new direction in 2004, releasing a collection of music that reflected his spiritual beliefs entitled Food for the Spirit.
In Recent Years
Still a popular entertainer, Robinson continues to perform live. He also has been busy as a public speaker, talking to groups about his personal experiences. Exploring new business opportunities, Robinson formed a food company called Smokey Robinson Foods, which includes a line of ready-to-eat meals.
In 2006, Robinson was selected to be a Kennedy Center Honoree for his contributions to the arts and American culture and received an honorary degree from Howard University. That year, he also put out a new album, Timeless Love, which offered Robinson's own take on several classic songs, such as Cole Porter's "Night and Day" and the Gershwin brothers' "Our Love Is Here to Stay."

OKLAHOMA CITY - A small bioscience company may make a revolutionary discovery that could alter the treatment course for a deadly disease.
But without partnerships with investors and pharmaceutical companies, the research might never make it out of the lab.
Members of Oklahoma's bioscience industry heard about successful partnerships Tuesday from several national leaders. The workshop was sponsored by OKBio, a nonprofit group that supports the state's cluster of bioscience companies.
"To help these companies grow, we're trying to provide them the information they need," said Robin Roberts Krieger, executive vice president of economic development, Greater Oklahoma City Chamber. "Locally grown biotech companies tend to stay in the area, offer good-paying jobs and have a highly educated work force. Occasionally we can recruit in those businesses, but they are the types of companies we are looking to grow locally."
Dr. John "Wick" Johnson, senior director of worldwide business development for Pfizer Inc., said researchers need to attend biotech and pharmaceutical business meetings, of which there are 50 or more worldwide. During those gatherings, researchers and company leaders can pitch their concept to someone like Johnson, who can tell them if it's got a future.
"One thing that is underappreciated by companies is that you may think you're off the radar, but you're not," said Johnson, who earned his degrees at Oklahoma State University.
Smaller startup companies tend to have the tenacity to stick with an idea, even if they're told no by big pharmaceutical companies, Johnson said.
"They will usually try a different approach because of the resources they've put into it and their belief in it," he said. "In many cases, they will come up with something that gives them proof of concept in an animal model."
Johnson said the future of biotech startups may be in the fallout from mergers and acquisitions. Pfizer, when it merged with Parke-Davis, closed a large facility in Michigan and let go many employees, he said. The same consolidation will happen now that Pfizer has bought Wyeth, he said. If former staff members from the acquired companies can raise the money to get started, they will be viable biotech companies, he said.
In Oklahoma, the potential is good as well, Krieger said. The opportunities in Ardmore and Stillwater lean more toward plant and animal science, she said, and in Oklahoma City, it's life and human sciences, because of nearby entities like the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation.

Not True to Size
I wear sz 7 in Crocs.Always found that the ones they make with the strap across the back are the most comfortable. I tried the Crocband airy slingback in a sz 7 and could barely get it on my foot. I take a 6.5 so Crocs sz 7 have a tiny bit of room in them, so the back ankle strap helps keep it on and feeling comfortable. This particular style must be running small. Very strange.

Loved these, but couldn't keep them
I wear either a 10 or 11 depending on the shoe. I ordered these and loved how they looked and felt overall, but they were a bit too small in size 10 and they don't do half-sizes. I didn't order the 11 because they didn't have the color I wanted and I hate to have to pay shipping back to the company for shoes I can't wear. If they offered free return shipping, I'd order many more Crocs as they're SO comfortable!
