Stroke Health Center
Surgery Is Not the Answer for Preventing All Strokes
March 14, 2000 (Washington) --In an effort to prevent strokes, surgeons sometimes literally scrape the gunk out of clogged blood vessels that run along the neck and up to the brain, called carotid arteries. While this may be effective, a new study shows that second strokes can occur anyway, brought on by causes unrelated to the carotid arteries -- sometimes even caused by this surgery itself.
The author of the study, published in the March 15 Journal of the American Medical Association, says he hopes it prompts physicians to consider a variety of stroke causes before rushing a patient to surgery. Henry J. M. Barnett, MD, tells WebMD that he is particularly concerned about ultrasound tests being advertised by firms promising to reduce a person's risk of stroke "in just 10 minutes" for $35. One such flyer promoted a test available at a Methodist Church in a city in central Florida, home to a large elderly population.
"There are probably 2 million people right today who have some [blockage] of their carotid arteries," says Barnett, a professor emeritus at the department of clinical neurological sciences at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. "If they got surgery based on some tests in the church basement, they would flood the system and more of them would be harmed than helped." Barnett was the lead researcher of the study, which compared the long-term survival of people with carotid artery disease who underwent the surgical cleaning with those who did not.
Every year, some 50,000 Americans will have a "mini-stroke," in which a small blood clot lodges in an artery and, usually, dissolves on its own. To prevent a full stroke, the vessel-cleaning procedure, called an endarterectomy, is sometimes performed to clear the carotid arteries of blockages.
The surgery, Barnett says, is not without risks. "Six percent of patients will leave the operating room with a stroke, and 2% will be debilitating. And only the best surgeons can do it," he says.
His study looked at nearly 3,000 patients, of whom nearly 800 had had strokes, some more than one.
Among the strokes counted in the study, a third had causes other than blockages in the carotid arteries. Smaller blood vessels were the cause in 20%, while 10% came from blood clots that originated in the heart and then became lodged in the brain. Among the patients who previously had surgery, the researchers found that up to 45% of their strokes did not occur in areas where the vessels had been clogged. Among the strokes related to the heart, many were caused by an irregular heart rhythm, called atrial fibrillation, which is easily treatable with medication.
"We hope that people will pay attention to their patients and make sure they are not the sort of patient who needs treatment of the heart and things that will cause small vessel disease -- hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol," Barnett says. "If they have never had any symptoms at all, by all means just don't think about the arteries in the neck."

Evidence of Human Rights Violations Come to Light in Imereti
Evidence of Human Rights Violations Come to Light in Imereti
Kutaisi.15.04.05 Media News. The representative of the Public Defender in Imereti, Giorgi Mshvenieridze, has accused local law-enforcement bodies of unlawfully detaining defendants and violating lawyers' rights.
According to Mshvenieridze, eight cases of human rights violations during pre-trial custodies in Kutaisi and Ckhaltubo were brought to light.
"We have brought these facts to the Ombudsman of the Internal Ministry, Shota Khizanishvili, who always reacts in a timely manner," said Mshvenieridze. "However, the Prosecutor's Office should also give instructions to the Internal Ministry about how to eliminate these problems."

The unintended consequences of using an MCI as an operational monetary policy target in New Zealand: Suggestive evidence from rolling regressions
AbstractThe Reserve Bank of New Zealand used a Monetary Conditions Index (MCI) as an operational target for monetary policy from June 1997 to March 1999. We report estimates for New Zealand and Australia obtained from a series of 10-week rolling regressions that examine the relationship between short-term interest rates and the exchange rate. They suggest that, against its stated intentions, the MCI regime failed to improve the Bank's communication of its monetary policy stance to financial markets. Instead, it worsened economic performance by creating a systematic inverse relationship between short-term interest rates and the exchange rate. This contrasts with Australia's monetary policy at the time.

MANA, Control Solutions file notification in US District Court
Makhteshim Agan of North America (MANA) and Control Solutions Inc. (CSI) filed a notification in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina acknowledging that, due to a one-time human error, two lots of Taurus SC product were not formulated with fipronil technical material made in accordance with a process known as the "Currently Intended Process".
CSI launched the fipronil based Taurus SC product in June 2011 following EPA and court approval for sale in the US. MANA's and CSI's process for manufacturing fipronil uses Makhteshim Agan Group's proprietary technology, the subject of the consent judgment Court Order from 2010 wherein BASF agreed that the process does not infringe the relevant asserted BASF patent. On March 19th, 2013, the Appeal Court dismissed BASF's appeal, reconfirming that CSI's product Taurus SC does not infringe any relevant patent of BASF.
MANA and CSI recently became aware of a formulation mistake. Upon discovering the mistake, the companies moved quickly to audit all lots of the Taurus SC product, and confirmed that, with the exception of the two lots from Colombia, the remainder were all manufactured according to the approved process.
The product of the two lots in question was formulated in the beginning of 2012 in a single run at Makhteshim Agan Group's subsidiary in Colombia, South America. The Colombian manufacturing facility inadvertently formulated the Taurus SC product with the incorrect fipronil technical material which was not intended to be used in products destined for the US market.
Shaul Friedland, head of MAI's Americas region said, "We acknowledge this instance of human error, which occurred due to a temporary relocation of Taurus SC production to Colombia, while our plant in Israel was dealing with a temporary manufacturing issue and prior to the start of CSI's Texas production. We have already verified that neither CSI nor we have any stock of product from the two lots in question. We have also asked our distributors who may still have inventory of the two lots to immediately return that product to CSI."
CSI's plant in Texas became ready to formulate Taurus SC as of July 2012, and all future production of fipronil material intended for the U.S. will be performed at either CSI's plant or at MAI's facility in Israel.
Mark Boyd, president and CEO of CSI said, "While some may wish to characterize this issue as an attempt to infringe upon patents or intellectual property rights, nothing could be further from the truth. MANA and CSI have an established track record of fully honoring and adhering to all patents and intellectual property rights. Moreover, our efforts to quickly and openly acknowledge and address this recent mistake reflect our commitment to fair competition and the highest levels of integrity."

Another elderly lady and I were recently shopping at Winco. We were approached by a lovely, thoughtful lady who presented each of us with money to purchase our groceries. She was unknown by either of us.
The amount she gave me was equal to 10 percent of my monthly discretionary money.
This is the second time in my 92 years of life that such a thoughtful act of kindness by anyone other than family was shown me.
Of course I thanked her, but such kindness involves more and public thanks. Her kindness will remain with me for the rest of my life.

Eleven people, including four children, are homeless after a kitchen fire spread through a Gulfport apartment complex Thursday afternoon.
Around 3:30pm, five fire engines and 17 firefighters responded to the 200 block of Pass Road. When the first unit arrived, firefighters saw heavy fire and smoke coming from one of the three, single story apartments.
It took about 30 minutes to bring the blaze under control.
Investigators said the fire started in the kitchen, but spread into the living room and caused extensive fire and smoke damage. The neighboring apartments also were damaged by smoke.
One of the renters was gone when the fire started and all other residents were evacuated; no injuries were reported. Two dogs were found inside the complex; one died from smoke inhalation.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The Red Cross has offered temporary lodging to the displaced residents.

You can't own something part-time

On the first day of the Agile Business Conference , Roman Pichler talked about the Role of the Agile Product Owner. It was a succinct presentation of the basic responsibilities of Scrum's Product Owner role. Roman conveyed the likelihood that the Product Owner would not be available all of the time (he mentioned hot-desking) nor be colocated with the team. He showed a hypothetical calendar day for a Product Owner that had an hour blocked out in the morning dedicated to collaboration with the team. This set-up is a reality for many companies, indeed it's probably the accepted norm. That's bad! The Product Owner should be a full-time member of the team and be colocated with the team. If he's not then, in my opinion, the team's agility is compromised . The team cannot possibly achieve all that they are capable of achieving on the project. Time-boxing interaction between the team and the Product Owner constrains collaboration with the business. In my mind, collaboration is not something that you turn on and off depending on the time of day. It's a hive of conversation and activity that permeates the environment generating hustle . If you want to achieve hyper-productivity, one of the things you need to be able to do is talk with the Product Owner, as and when you need to, and to demonstrate vertical slices of a user story many times a day to get feedback. If the project is vital to the business, then the company can always find a way to provide a full-time and colocated Product Owner. If they say they can't, it really means they won't. Quite simply, they're not prepared to do what is necessary to achieve it, and frankly, if they're not going to take the project seriously why should you? Usually, the obstacle relates to a silo'ed organisation where departments are arranged by role rather than product stream. Hardly an insurmountable obstacle ... really.

Don't do Scrum without XP
Posted by Simon Baker
I've been doing XP since 2000 and Scrum since 2004. I've never done Scrum without XP and, these days, I don't think of them separately anymore. I guess over the years they've merged into one for me and matured into my own concoction of principles and practices, still largely based on the Manifesto , enhanced by lean thinking , and extended with my own bag of tricks devised through tough commercial experience. I have to agree with Jeremy Miller, Scrum is fine but don't leave the XP practices at home . Actually, I think Scrum is great but, to be honest, I'd feel very nervous doing Scrum without the XP practices because I care about software . In many teams, doing Scrum without the XP practices would just produce crap code more effectively. If you want to do Scrum, I strongly recommend that you do the XP practices too. I do think Scrum's 30-day Sprint duration is too long. In my experience, I always saw Parkinson's Law and Student Syndrome set in during the 30 days. If you're new to iterative development , by all means start with monthly iterations but make it a top priority to achieve weekly iterations (as used in XP). If you're using weekly iterations but it's not possible to 'ship' working software to your production environment every week, try using Scrum's monthly cycle as a release cycle containing four 1-week iterations. Obviously it's preferable not to queue the output of iterations but the queue is manageable at 4 weeks worth of working software, and releasing monthly drums out a release rhythm and allows you to establish at least some incremental flow of valuable marketable features to customers. This is better than releasing sporadically based on marketing dates and having to use much larger queues while delivering zero value to customers for longer periods of time.

Grow a whole dedicated team around a single product
Posted by Simon Baker
If your people are organised by function rather than along product lines then you are fostering a silo mentality, creating artificial barriers and introducing coordination overhead. Give responsibility for each product to a cross-functional team with full-time members, located together in one place, who possess all the skills required to deliver product frequently to your customer. If a committee makes business decisions for each product then you will see a lack of authoritative decision-making and a loss of direction and urgency, resulting in delays and rework. Empower a single person , collocated and available for discussion, to own the product, champion its vision, maintain a visible backlog of requested work items prioritised by value, and steer development by making business decisions quickly.

It's always nice to "come home" and find your villagers missed you after being away for several months. (΄◞ิ౪◟ิ‵)
If anyone is still playing ACNL and curious about visiting a town called "Schoggi" in their free time, my dream address is 5400-2704-1013!
Lil' miss quaking aspen. A dearest friend wanted to see Waverly with longer hair a while back and I went overboard.
Allow me to introduce Raxka, my personal demon if my likeness existed in the beautifully imaginative universe of the webcomic, Ava's Demon! She is a rather quiet, humble creature hailing from a rocky desert planet where very few trees grow. Her body can become electrically charged and as a result, acts as an electromagnetic field. This causes her to have influence over electric currents and magnetic materials. Raxka may also cause hallucinations in living creatures, her host included.
My favorite webcomic's creator is graciously holding an art contest so I decided it would be plenty fun to try my hand at designing a demon of my own!
Thank you so much and of course! I've had a sketch of her not yet introduced girlfriend sitting in my WIP folder for quite some time now so I hope to finish that and share it soon!
I took a break from art… with more art! I was itching to do an experimental portrait of Ava from the awesome webcomic, Ava's Demon. I'll definitely be supporting the comic when I have the means!
A long ass time indeed! He's been clunking around in my head since 2004, I believe.
Bad habits are difficult to hide.
OC Waverly because I don't draw her as often as I should.
Obligatory bloody faced Armin, ahoy! Thank you for giving me an excuse to draw him and I'm terribly sorry that this wasn't better, stranger. ;A;
Request 1/3!
Mr. Krähenbühl and his several appearances.
This was something I shared on my Twitter last month but I felt the need to expand Zanebono's tag by uploading it here, too.
Ah yes, something completely different! Here we have Hinata from the famous manga, Naruto because I will always love this character.
I dedicate this drawing to my two darlings, Dee and Rie! I love yous guys!ヽ(;▽;)ノ
Eternally experimenting. I decided to use an older drawing of Waverly to work off of because I'm determined to keep these two consistent. Speaking of these two, are they standing in an abandoned house? Is this some absurd portrait? Who really knows. One thing I know for certain is I've grown quite attached to Waverly's hair being that length so I'll probably be keeping in that way in future drawings of her.

How to know when it's time to file bankruptcy, and how to do it
Some creditors would prefer to avoid bankruptcy, where attorneys and other professionals – along with creditors – find each other competing for dwindling assets, he said. Conditions vary by business and circumstance, Goldberg said.
"Every situation needs to be analyzed on its own," he said. "There is no playbook."
Some borrowers may seek to pursue resolution with lenders or creditors without the guidance of counsel. In such cases, it's important to limit what's admitted to the lender. A debtor might believe it's noble to be open with lenders. Yet, skilled legal counsel may review the terms of the loan regarding a modification and spot an "insecurity provision" that can force the debtor's hand because the lender feels compelled to act to protect its interests. Moreover, lenders might ask the debtor to sign a pre-negotiation letter or agreement limiting or waiving defenses.
"That can be very damaging," Russin said. "You might be doing things unwittingly without legal advice that could put you in a vulnerable position."
A final – and, to some, least palatable – option is to do nothing at all, said Bradley Shraiberg, a partner with Shraiberg Ferrara & Landau, a Boca Raton, Fla., boutique business reorganization firm. Letting the company administratively dissolve won't have the courts monitoring the process. Yet, this also carries risk, including leaving the principal to fend off various creditors. If the principal were to open a similar business, he could be subject to "alter ego" or successor liabilities. These seek to prevent a business owner from forming a company, running up debt, shuttering it, then opening a similar company.

I bought one of these for myself and like it so much I ordered 3 more to give as Christmas gifts. The price was something I could do and have a great gift. Thanks.

Speaking of the Florida game, Florida's commitments did their best to recruit uncommitted prospects, and the atmosphere was again excellent in the Swamp according to various accounts. Unfortunately for Florida, Clemson receiver commitment Demarcus Robinson did not make the trip.
West Virginia's flop won't help recruiting
West Virginia's embarrassing no-show against Kansas State won't help recruiting. Recruits pick up on the attitude of fans and the team, and the negative attitude due to the meltdown in Morgantown was hard for miss for recruits.
But it wasn't all bad. William Crest, a top QB out of Maryland for the class of 2014, still has strong interest in West Virginia:
"The trip went well," said the 6-foot-3, 170-pounder, who has visited multiple times previously. "They took the loss, but overall, it went well. It was a night game, so it was pretty interesting."
As the game turned from a great atmosphere to a silent blowout, Mountaineer fans flooded the message boards with their thoughts on the game. Crest also gave his take.
"It seemed like they were giving it their all, but just couldn't click," Crest said about the offense. "And the defense needs some work. Seriously." -- 247sports ($)
Pitt: New Wisconsin < old Wisconsin
Corey Clement, a four-star running back recruit, decommitted from the Pitt Panthers while on his official visit to Wisconsin. The move was expected. He has not yet committed to the Badgers, but many are expecting him to do so. This battle is extremely interesting, as Pitt's coaching staff consists mostly of coaches who were at Wisconsin during the 2011 season and followed new coach Paul Chryst to Pittsburgh.
Miami makes most of opportunity
Miami stuck with Florida State through three quarters. And that kept the crowd in game and the energy level up. That's important for Miami, which was hosting some 50 BCS recruits. The Hurricanes' home atmosphere is usually one of the worst in the BCS, which limits opportunities to impress recruits.
On Saturday night, though, Miami did what it needed to do. It showed that the program can be exciting, and it showed at several positions (defensive line and receiver, specifically) that playing time can be had right away.
Wolverines beat Spartans, add 6'9 offensive lineman
Michigan finally stopped its losing streak to Michigan State, and the Wolverines picked up a promising offensive tackle in the process in junior Denzel Ward:
Ward, a 6-foot-9, 295-pound offensive tackle from Chicago (Ill.) Hales Franciscan, chose Michigan over an offer from Purdue.
Several other schools in the region were showing interest in Ward including Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois.
Ward told 247Sports, "Tradition and organization" were the reasons he chose the Wolverines.
And while he didn't pull the trigger, Michigan also impressed 2014 offensive lineman Mason Cole of Tampa (Fla.) East Lake High.
Texas A&M loses to LSU, but still sways five-star
Despite the loss to LSU, Texas A&M seems to have impressed receiver Ricky Seals-Jones during his visit. ESPN($) spoke with his father.
"They were glad to see him come to the game and hoped he enjoyed himself at the game," Chester Jones said. "We even talked to the basketball coach, met him on the field, met his wife. He came by and said hello and told Ricky that he hopes he has a chance to get him and have him come down that way and help him out. He's a nice guy. We met him in the summer, we met him a couple of times."
That's important, given that the Aggies and Tigers are in a major fight for the former Texas Longhorns commitment.
Iowa's loss is Indiana's gain
Indiana scored a major commitment Sunday in Rivals four-star defensive end David Kenny III, of Indianapolis. The recruiting win came over Iowa, from whom Kenny decommitted earlier in the week. According to Kenny's head coach, distance was a factor.
"A lot of it is Indiana just being close to home and his parents being able to see his games," Moyers said. "I think Indiana has eight home games next year, and his mom and dad being able to see him play in Bloomington eight times as opposed to travel maybe eight times to Iowa City. Plus, David looks at Indiana as an up-and-coming program with Coach (Kevin) Wilson and he thinks he can have an early impact on what they're trying to do."
Still committed
Hacked! Always, always claim "hacked." Elijah Daniel, a top defensive end recruit and Clemson commitment, claimed Saturday that his Twitter account had been hacked after someone apparently sent out a tweet that he was decommitting.
Is Ashard Jackson still committed to Auburn? Yes. After deciding to decommit, Jackson then elected to remain committed after speaking with Auburn's coaching staff. The athletic tight end still plans to visit Florida State and potentially other SEC schools as well.
Worth watching
Here is an interesting Tweet:
FSU commitment Marquez White RT @_success_1: Amari Cooper is the reason I wanna play WR in college— Greg Ostendorf (@GregO_ESPN) October 22, 2012
That's Marquez White, a talented cornerback recruit out of Dothan (Al.). He is considered a soft commitment to the Seminoles. Apparently Amari Cooper, Alabama's four-star freshman sensation, has him thinking about playing receiver. Of course, a lot of talented cornerbacks wanted to play receiver in college and made a lot of money playing defensive back, but this is worth keeping an eye on.

One Tribe Anthology - Sneak Peek!
Since it's been posted around, I'm going to share a sneak peek at something I'm working on with Leonard Kirk (Fantastic Four) on art and Dan Reynolds on colours. I've had this story buried in my head for a very long time and seeing it realised for such a wonderful purpose has been a fantastic experience!
This inked panel is from a story we're working on for One Tribe Anthology, a collected effort by some of your favourite comic creators and others that will be your new favourites, in support of building new First Nations' Reserve schools (how great is that?). You can find out more details about it here!

The Last Mage - My Storytelling Experiment
I've always loved experimenting with storytelling. From the narrative to the medium it's presented in. The Last Mage was an idea I conceived many years ago when the first digital comics appeared. Having the traditional comic book format on digital devices was great, but I felt that there was more that can be done with it.
I believe in working with the digital medium, rather than fighting against it. It's not an easy thing to tackle since you're looking at figuring out how to present your story onto various display sizes on computer and laptops, smartphones and tablets...and who knows what else is around the corner. Though that's the exciting part of it! The adventure you go on trying to figure out how to make it work with your story, that undiscovered process--that's what makes me love experimenting with storytelling.
Here's a link to my my most recent article on Sketchbook.com about a concept I had, and now realized with the help of old co-workers from the animation and mobile game company I worked at.
"Big crazy thanks for all your help with this guys!"

Sketchbook - Creative Opportunity
I was asked by Sketchbook.com to write a series of articles for them about writing and the creative process involved in story development
In my article, 'A Writer's Perspective' I shared my thoughts about the creative process in developing and creating strong immersing narratives.
In 'Conquering Creative Challenges' I talk about how creativity can be used to solve hurdles during the creative process. In my latest article I'm sharing my thoughts in how creative thinkers can seek out opportunities from social to old school networking to how best to get exploited.

Brother Outsider (NYC)
The LGBTQA and Social Justice Center celebrates Black History Month with a film screening about the work of a man who organized the 1963 March on Washington and a Q&A with his partner as well as the director of the film.
On Monday, February 24, in honor of Black History Month, the LGBTQA and Social Justice Center will present a film screening of Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin, from 6:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m., in the Bianco Room.
Brother Outsider illuminates the life and work of Bayard Rustin, best remembered as organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and adviser to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Rustin dared to live as an openly gay man during a fiercely homophobic time and the film reveals the price he paid for this honesty, chronicling both the triumphs and setbacks of his remarkable 60-year career.
Rustin's work was so important to the Civil Rights Movements that he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama in 2013.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director and producer, Bennett Singer, as well as Bayard's life partner, Walter Naegle.
In addition to this program, check out the LGBTQA Center's Black History Month Page on their website.

The 28-players invited to this week's training camp in Lake Placid, N.Y. for April's International Ice Hockey Federation Women's World Championship are no doubt on edge.
But so is Reagan Carey.
Carey — who joined USA Hockey's staff in August 2010 as director of women's hockey — has to run the camp and help whittle the team down to a 23-player roster (along with coach Katey Stone, of course) that will advance to the final selection camp in June for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
And they have less time than usual to do it all before camp wraps up on Sunday.
"This is a really important camp for us; there is a short window for us to host camp, typically it's a little longer," Regan calmly explained during a telephone interview last week. "Just the way the calendar falls, between the NCAA finals and the start of worlds, that's kind of a short window. So it's even more important to max the time we have. … This is the one opportunity before that [June] tryout for players to benchmark themselves against each other as well as to demonstrate what they bring to them team. They are competing for spots, so it's a really important camp in terms of looking ahead and preparing for a World Championships.
"There's a decent amount of multitasking for everyone leading up to worlds, for sure."
Typically a camp of this magnitude would be equally split between the time used to pick the final roster and the time used for that final roster to practice together. But given the short stretch Carey said they would work with the entire group for the majority of camp and likely finalize the roster down to 23 players on Saturday.
Once that cut is made, the entire tone of the champ changes, Carey said.
"I think the major difference up until that point the team is made is that players are focused on competing for spots and really competing against who will turn around and be a teammate the next day," she said. "Being able to navigate that is difficult for athletes. To our team's credit, they do it well.
"The practice will quickly switch to 'Here is your role' and 'How to fill that role' and 'What is expected from you,' because from team to team it could be different."
Carey also said there are a few minutes of relief for the players once they make the cut.
"I'm sure certainly there's a few minutes to enjoy the moment and appreciate you earned the opportunity to represent the U.S., to earn a World Championship," she said. "That quickly turns to rolling up your sleeves and doing what we came to do."
The cut is also one of the hardest parts of camp for Carey and Stone. But Carey said she thinks they do a good job of constantly letting players know where they stand throughout the process so that if they do get cut they are able to walk away from camp knowing exactly what they need to do to make the team the next time around.
"In our program, coach Stone and myself, we value communication immensely," Carey said. "As much as it is difficult during the process of cutting players, certainly it's the hard part of the process, we also talk to players after camp, right before camp and throughout the year we are always communicating and explaining expectations for players individually, to hold them accountable and give them all the tools they need to fill the roles we're looking for."
But there is a wide range of expectations in camp this week given the fact that there are nine players who play in the Canadian Women's Hockey League, 14 players in college and one player in high school.
Carey said they look for leadership skills to emerge from the players who have been to camp before. As for the rookies, Carey said she not only watches to see how they compete for spots but also how they learn to manage themselves as a newly minted elite athlete.
Carey — who focuses on the management of the women's national program, including elite development efforts of both players and coaches — is uniquely positioned to manage both the younger players and the veterans.
Prior to joining USA Hockey, she was director of fan development and youth marketing for Atlanta Spirit, LLC, the parent company of the Thrashers and the NBA's Atlanta Hawks. She also worked in the role of manager of hockey development for the Thrashers for a time period starting in 2004, helping the Thrashers become the first NHL team to adopt and promote USA Hockey's American Development Model, otherwise known as ADM.
ADM, a relatively new philosophy in age-appropriate athlete development, has been implemented for all U.S. women's hockey programs for 14- to 17-year-olds since Carey took her current post.
Carey also said that after two years on the job her staff is finally fully in tune with her more professionalized NHL approach and that she has finally boned up on the current college-hockey culture.
"Some of my strategies may have been foreign at the beginning, but everyone has been terrific," said Carey, who herself played college hockey and volleyball for Colby College before graduating in 2001. "There has been a learning curve for me with college hockey and melding the two together.
"Now we're really seeing the benefit of those two areas working together."
This week, however, Carey is ultimately looking to see how the players in training camp meld together on the ice.
"You have opportunity to bring the top 20 or 30 players in the nation together to compete," she said. "Whether they are veterans or rookies the situation is an opportunity for everyone to demonstrate what they are willing to do to make the team better. That's a big theme for us, putting the team first and what everyone is willing to do to make sure the team comes out successful."

Protest group logs number of lorries using main Cumbrian road
Last updated at 14:50, Friday, 30 May 2014
An action group – set up to tackle the increasing numbers of large lorries using the busy A596 – says it will be compiling a list of complaints to send to local councils.
The group – which has eight members – met this week to discuss the way forward after members of Aspatria town council became concerned about the number of HGVs using the Thursby to Workington road.
They are particularly concerned about the number of trucks loaded with timber going to Workington's Iggesund Paperboard plant to feed its biomass boiler.
The Siddick plant needs 517,000 tonnes of wood a year which arrive via the A595 and A596.
Councillor Bill Finlay, chairman of the group, said: "The origin of the problem is the planning process from 2011 for the new biomass boiler which hasn't taken into account the increase in traffic. We will be submitting our dossier of complaints to the county and borough councils for consideration.
"In the long term, the group would like to see more timber being transported via Workington Port and on the rail line. In the shorter term we are looking at the route the lorries take and their speed.
"One of our members is already conducting a survey counting the number of lorries passing through Aspatria at different times of the day and which haulage firm they are from.
"I will be writing to the new MEPs to find out what influence they might have."
Mr Finlay said the next step would be to pull together the findings from the ongoing research.
The next meeting of the action group will be held on June 24 in the Local Links building in Aspatria. A further public meeting will be organised for a later date.
