GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - More than 300 children have been identified as homeless by Mesa County Valley School District 51, which translates into about 200 families who are either homeless or living in temporary or transitional housing.The new drop-in center for the school district's REACH program (resources, education and advocacy for children who are homeless) opened Jan. 15 at 596 N. Westgate Drive (off Patterson Road, behind B&H Sports). People who qualify as homeless and have a child attending school in the district may sign up at the center for various services such as the free breakfast and lunch program at school.Prevention services coordinator Cathy Haller said the drop-in center is designed to make it more convenient for homeless families and their students to access REACH programs."People can talk to us about what their needs are," Haller said. "We have lots of community partners, and we can connect them with other community services."Telephones are available at the site for people to use to make various appointments.Families can also sign up at the center for waived school fees so their students can afford to participate in sports and other activities. Additionally, families can learn about Grand Junction Parks and Recreation scholarships for its programs.Free, donated hygiene products and school supplies are available at the drop-in center, as well as new socks, underwear and pajamas, Haller said. Hoodies, sweatpants, coats, hats and gloves are also available. Located in a modular building, behind the Basil T. Knight Center, the center is open Monday and Wednesday, 7:30 a.m. to noon; and Tuesday and Thursday, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Qualified families, regardless of their housing status, can enroll in Medicaid at the site, Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Thursdays, Spanish-English bilingual services are available.REACH advocates will continue to schedule individual appointments as well, Haller said. The idea behind the drop-in center is to make it more convenient for families, she said. Plus, it saves the district some mileage reimbursement costs associated with individual appointments, Haller said."It's hard for some families to make appointments," due to transportation issues, Haller said.

For breakfast this morning, I made tofu scramble, roasted potatoes, and crispy tempeh strips. It was delicious.
For dinner this evening, we had moroccan tofu, with a garlicky couscous, and a moroccan stewed tomato/okra dish. It was so tasty. And there are leftovers. Yippee!
Moroccan Spiced Baked Tofu
1lb firm tofu, pressed & cubed or sliced 1/2" thick
1/2c tamari
3T red wine vinegar
3T olive oil
3T molasses
1t garlic powder
2t onion powder
1t cayenne powder
1/4t turmeric
1t cinnamon
1t black pepper
1t coriander powder
1t cumin
Place sliced or cubed tofu in a container with lid. Combine all the other ingredients. Mix well. Pour over tofu, making sure all the tofu is covered. Cover container with a lid and place in the fridge to marinate overnight. When ready to cook the tofu, preheat the oven to 350F. Place the tofu in a lightly oiled casserole dish. Put tofu in casserole dish in a single layer. Pour marinade on top. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes. Serve with couscous or quinoa, and side or greens or okra. *Note: you can also grill the tofu instead of baking it.
Earlier today, I also made carrot apple sauce cupcakes, or muffins. The boys like to call them cupcakes. They love them. I also made seitan. I will use it later this week for a Caesar chickUN salad. That is a favorite of mine and Josh's.
Carrot Applesauce Breakfast Cupcakes
This recipe was inspired by our 4 year old. He came to me one morning and told me that he wanted to make carrot applesauce cupcakes for his little brother. They are a delicious treat for breakfast.
3/4c soymilk1t apple cider vinegar
1 1/4c flour
1T arrowroot
1t baking soda
3/4t baking powder
1/2t salt
4T sugar, divided
1T ground flax seed
1c carrots, shredded
1/2c applesauce
1/2t vanilla extract
1/4c walnuts
1/4c dried cranberries
zest of one lemon, chopped fine
Preheat oven to 350F. In a cup combine the soymilk and apple cider vinegar, set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, arrowroot, salt, 3 tablespoons sugar, and ground flax. Gently stir. Add the carrots, applesauce, vanilla, cranberries, walnuts, and soymilk mixture. Gently stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 12 cup muffin pan.
In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon sugar and the lemon zest. Mix well. Sprinkle the lemon sugar on top of each cupcake. Bake in the oven 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcake comes out clean.
Once done baking, let the cupcakes cool for 10 minutes on a baking rack, then remove from pan and continue to cool. Yield: 12 cupcakes(c) Two Vegan Boys 2010
Well, this post is a quick one. I am off to enjoy what is left of the evening. Tomorrow is the first day of October. Halloween is right around the corner. Yippee!

Q - Should I keep the Ashes I receive on all day or wipe them off? It seems that I will be somewhat prideful if I keep them on. What do you think?
A - Thanks for your question! I think you should keep them on, but only for the right reason. We shouldn't make a "show" of our faith, but neither should we be ashamed of it.
It is okay to wear the ashes all day as long as it doesn't become sinful pride. We can be proud to wear ashes as a sign of repentance and a sign of faith, but if it is to be "holier-than-thou" then the vice of pride has entered in.
On the other hand, we shouldn't be ashamed that we are marked by the Church as a child of God and a sibling of Christ. We are marked by the cross of Christ.
So, while we shouldn' t do it as a parade of our faith we also shouldn't be scared of them either.
Keep them on and humbly offer your day to the Lord for His sacrifice for you.

The Rochester Historical Society located at the Rochester Public Library will be unavailable to visitors until further notice – after renovation to the building site which will likely be Summer 2015. Thanks to all for your understanding. We can be contacted through the website and the e-mail address, and hopefully will be able to answer your questions.
Vermont Historical Society EXPO – 2014
June 21 – 22 2014
Tunbridge Fairgrounds
The Heart of the Green Mountains
The pastoral beauty and serenity of the surrounding hills and valley remain the same that drew our forefathers to the Rochester area.
"The combination of high altitude, wooded hills, pure water, good drainage, together with an enlightened public spirit which maintains thoroughly hygienic conditions in town and home, renders Rochester one of the healthiest as it is one of the cleanest towns in the United States…
…Ideal climate, no sharp changes, low humidity. Winter climate rivals Swiss resorts with high sunshine percentage and little wind. Something to do all the time."
– The Vermonter, January, 1910
The Rochester Historical Society is a non-profit organization, the purpose of which is to seek out, collect, preserve, and restore those materials, records, and artifacts which relate to the history of Rochester.
We welcome gifts of items and collections of historic value to Rochester in hopes of fostering a sense of community through knowledge of our past, while connecting people to the land and our community through history, providing a legacy of Rochester's past and present for future generations.
Your participation is sought, through volunteer work, becoming a member, or just visiting our Museum.

Tony Prescott
• Hummingbirds are attracted to bright orange, red and hot pink blossoms. Their long, narrow beaks can reach the nectar of long, tubular flowers such as the Balboa Sunset Trumpet Vine with its large scarlet blossoms, and the Goldflame Honeysuckle, which has vibrant yellow and red flowers. Other good choices are the Super Red Flowering Maple and the Navajo series of Salvia, available in many colors, including bright red, rose and salmon red.
• Not all hummingbirds feed at the same height, so plant an array of shrub sizes and climbing vines for food sources.
• Butterflies are attracted to yellow, orange and red. They too are seeking nectar, but their mouths, or proboscises, are much smaller, so they prefer flatter flowers they can perch on while they feed. The no-fail plant for butterflies is the Butterfly Bush, or Buddleja. However, since they can get too large for some gardens, consider the Petite series of Dwarf Butterfly Bushes. Petite Indigo has a profusion of lilac-blue flowers; Petite Plum sports reddish-purple blooms and the Petite Snow has pure white blossoms.
• Lilacs are favorites of butterflies, but don't typically flower well in climates with warmer winters. The Blue Skies Lilac produces huge clusters of light lavender-blue flowers that don't require winter chilling. Butterflies love Coneflowers, such as the bright pink Pixie Meadowbrite. Asters are great because they bloom well into fall. The new Farmington Aster has a profusion of lilac bloom clusters that butterflies flock to.
• Supply a source of water. Hummingbirds enjoy flying through a fine mist, which cools them off. Butterflies like drinking from shallow puddles. Position some large flat rocks in a sunny spot, on which butterflies can sun themselves to warm their wings.

Anyone interested in entrepreneurship who has been to Pittsburgh has likely seen the renaissance in the city's East Liberty neighborhood. Known as Bakery Square, the area was once home to a large Nabisco factory and now offices some of the best and the brightest who work for the high-tech behemoth known as Google.
Since establishing its offices there in 2010, Google has made significant contributions to supporting East Liberty's revitalization, and the growth there has been significant. Not far from the Google campus is a multi-million dollar retail and office center, including a hotel and high-end retailers like Trader Joe's, Anthropologie, Williams-Sonoma, Coach and Sephora. Across the street, mixed-use development is underway and scheduled to open in 2015.
Despite all the activity of Bakery Square, situated just a half mile east lies a very poor area of the city, which includes Homewood. Located in the Hill District, Homewood is a desperately poor African-American community featured a few years ago on MSNBC as "America's most dangerous neighborhood." The abandoned houses and boarded-up storefronts in Homewood are a sharp contrast to the entrepreneurial buzz and energy of Bakery Square and the college campuses farther west.
Sometimes, rising tides don't lift all boats.
Enter William Generett, Jr., president and CEO of Urban Innovation21, an entity comprised of public, academic and industry partners aimed at using entrepreneurship to boost the poorer neighborhoods of Pittsburgh. While he is a supporter of the progress made in Bakery Square, Generett's interests lie in how to bring this same burst of entrepreneurial creativity to other areas of the city.
"It's a myth that a rising tide lifts all boats," Generett remarks. He claims that while residents of poorer areas are aware of the entrepreneurial resurgence elsewhere in the city, they do not see how it benefits them. As residents of Pittsburgh, they are happy with what's happening, but ask, "What does it mean for me?"
Seeing the abandoned buildings and vacant lots in these communities, Generett's efforts are aimed at overcoming the reality that the city's entrepreneurial boom up to this point has mainly benefited highly educated whites and Asians. The wealth and new jobs created by the resurgence have done little to help the community's vast underclass living in Homewood and other neighborhoods in the Hill District.
Help for low-tech startups
Generett's belief is that one of the main reasons that Pittsburgh has been successful in the Bakery Square area is that substantial resources have been poured into the startups there to ensure the success of a vibrant tech community.
"That's not so much the case as it relates to spurring private entrepreneurship in communities like Homewood," Generett says. "I'm a believer that that needs to be done."
Generett claims that promising tech startups enjoy a network of support in Pittsburgh that includes a university, financial resources, mentoring and networking after graduation. While a successful tech company may result from all that nurturing, it is not likely that the jobs it creates will be filled by those from poorer communities in the Hill District.
So what happens if that same attention and investment is provided to low-tech startups in poor neighborhoods? At the least, Generett speculates, there would very likely be more jobs for the people who need them most.

Published on November 07, 2011
Judy Lieberman, director of Volunteer Services at Taylor Hospital, had the vision to provide high school and college students with a genuine opportunity to learn about future careers in healthcare combined with a community leadership experience.
In the past, approximately 125 students would sign up for summer volunteer activities at Taylor, but within two or three weeks, nearly 50 percent of them dropped out. Lieberman realized that new, more stimulating ideas had to be put into practice in order to provide a solution to this problem.
To achieve this goal, staff members were invited to "rethink" potential volunteer opportunities and to develop volunteer job descriptions in the hospital with the idea of engaging the students in future careers in healthcare. A "Pre-Med" track was established with the help of the Human Resources department and in conjunction with the Delaware County Technical School and local high schools. This program is for students that are enrolled in college and are interested in pursuing a career in any field that is related to healthcare. These students shadow physicians and other healthcare professionals. If a student expresses a specific desire to investigate a field of interest, opportunities are then tailored to meet their goals.
Lieberman also partnered with the "Spark the Wave" Foundation, which is based out of Philadelphia and Washington, DC. Their mission is to work with area youth to develop leadership skills and a passion for community service. This program includes communication exercises, group dynamics, problem-solving skills, event planning and program management.
The outcome of this more creative approach was a more interesting and career-focused volunteer opportunity for the students and a rising level of interest among volunteers. "If you can give the student some responsibilities and ownership, the more motivated the student becomes," Lieberman says. "Involving students in a more interesting and rigorous summer experience provides a unique opportunity to expose the students to careers in medicine and allied health."
Since starting the program, the student dropout rate has decreased from nearly 50 percent to only 5 percent, and students' hours of program participation has increased by 20 percent. The program has generated interest from schools and students in a broader area, including two neighboring states.
Taylor Hospital is very committed to working with area youth students in many different focuses all year long, whether is it in the Medical Career programs or students with disabilities. "Our students become our ambassadors," Lieberman says. "They talk up volunteering in their classes and many of them are surprised how much they enjoyed their experience. I have many students who volunteer their entire high school career and return for their college requirements. They feel like they are at home here, and much of that has to do with the relationships they have built with the hospital staff as well as the staff in the volunteer office."
She adds, "What excites me about this award is that it was a blind submission. The reviewers did not know me or know our program personally; so therefore there was no bias. The program was truly honored by its merits," Lieberman says. "I may implement most of the programs, but this award speaks to the dedication of our staff members and for our hospital community. They are the ones who will mentor many of the students."

Commonly, on Fedora, without SCSI devices: Once you plug any usb mass storage in your system, it should be available via /dev/sda or, if it is partitioned, /dev/sdaN (where N is the partition number).
That means, normally you can mount it this way:Code:
mkdir /mnt/usbstick mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
Don't forget toCode:
umount /dev/sda1
PS: Here you can find an extended howto for USB flash memory handling with GNU/Linux.
Good Luck,

Literature becomes life
What voices speak into your life?
From the back room of my house, I stood getting ready for my day. I could hear the TV on in the next room and I began to listen, analyzing the script and the voices, trying to guess what show was on. It didn't take me long to make a guess… and I was right. […]
Pen, paper and a future in Guatemala
The photographer's caption tells me the image comes from a place where Food for the Hungry works called "Rio Azul," or "Blue River," in Guatemala's Ixil Triangle region. But I see a story far beyond a young child poised to draw something. The green in little boy's sweater mirrors the thick vegetation I remember from […]

One in three people lives without a toilet
Some people consider toilets dirty — their germs dangerous. But others see them as icons of health that actually save lives.

Fire Officials Raise Concerns About Regional Dispatch ProposalSaturday, June 28, 2014
Fire officials this week voiced concerns about the implications of a proposal to have the town's radio dispatching for emergency 911, police, fire, and ambulance calls move about 25 miles from the Newtown Emergency Communications Center at 3 Main Street to the Northwest Connecticut Public Safety Communication Center, Inc at Route 68 in Prospect.
The Way We Were, from the issue dated March 22, 2013Thursday, March 21, 2013

Well, it's the end of Season Eight. Will Sam shut the gates of hell? Will Cas succeed in locking Heaven's Doors? Can Metatron be trusted? Will Crowley defeat the Winchesters?How in the world have we arrived at another season finale? Time flies when you're having fun. Before I get to Metatron and Cas, let's do a couple of things. First, I want to say that my MVP for "Sacrifice" is Mark Sheppard.When the Winchesters captured Crowley (good plan, by the way), the quest to cure a demon started. At the beginning of the episode, the King of Hell was his usual blustery and wonderfully sarcastic self. But with injections of Sam's blood, we got to see a whole new side to Crowley.It's like the king crumbled before our very eyes, leaving this very human person in his wake. Don't know if that's what really was happening but when Crowley asked Sam about his earlier confession, I was floored. "I only ask because given my history, it raises the question: 'where do I even start to even look for forgiveness?'" The cocky Crowley persona was gone and humanity seemed to settle in, and Sheppard gave a good performance. And I think the Crowley/Sam scenes were also fabulous.In fact, I loved when Sam got rid of Abaddon and Crowley hoped to score points and escape captivity. Crowley went on a whole HBO diatribe that included Band of Brothers and The Pacific and then ended with him quoting Girls and calling Sam his Marnie. Hilarious. Especially since Supernatural alum Richard Speight Jr. (Trickster/Gabriel) was in the Band of Brothers mini-series.Second, I want to break down the awesome brother confrontation near the end of the episode. Might have been my favorite moment of "Sacrifice" even though I did have some issues with it.Sam confessing his greatest sin to Dean: "It was how many times I let you down."I still don't think Sam can see the big picture — maybe it's because these trials have affected him physically and mentally, I don't know. He talked about how Dean felt he needed a chaperone. I'm sorry but has he taken a look at himself? He's been falling apart. He often accuses Dean of not being accepting of help. But he's the same way. It's not about not having confidence in his brother. It's about Sam not being a hundred percent and needing some backup.And, yes, Dean's been disappointed in Sam. And he's said some stuff that is probably better left unsaid. But Dean has also showed how much he can support his brother. He always has. So Sam's confession -- while great-- isn't exactly what I wanted to hear from Sam.Sam: "Who are you going to turn to next time instead of me? Another angel? Another vampire? Do you have any idea what it feels like to watch your brother..."Dean so easily could have brought up Ruby again here. Having said all that, I think that Jared really brought the emotion in this scene, didn't he? And man, did he look wrecked. Crowley biting him and using the blood to call for a rescue didn't help things either. Poor Sam. I really hope when Season Nine starts he's quickly able to get healthy.Dean begging Sam to see through all the disappointment and brotherly disagreements was also an epic part of this conversation:"I killed Benny to save you. I'm willing to let this bastard and all the sons of bitches that killed mom walk because of you. Don't you dare think that there is anything -- past or present -- that I would put in front of you. It has never been like that ever. I need you to see that."Jensen just gets to me every time. I hope what Dean said here gets through to Sam once and for all. He has tried to get over his s--t with Sam. He put aside all of it in order to support Sam through these trials even though he wanted to be the one to go through them. It's time for Sam to show that same faith.But when it comes right down to it Jared and Jensen have a great brotherly chemistry. During Seasons 6 and 7, it wasn't always there. Even this year, it was spotty at best. But the show has tried hard to reconnect the brothers. It's working. Finally.Random ThoughtsThe annual "Carry On Wayward Son" classic rock recap -- that gave us the greatest hits of Season Eight -- was well done. Hearing that song is like welcoming back an old friend. Loved seeing those purgatory scenes again.It was great to see Sheriff Mills return. But too bad it wasn't in any actual scenes with the boys. How scary was it that she went on a blind date with Crowley? When rowley talked about sharing loss in common -- I thought she was going to think about her husband, her son...and Bobby. I assume Jody is still alive?Crowley's ringtone for Dean is Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back?" So funny. As is his continuing to call Sam and Dean -- Moose and Squirrel.Kevin gets to lay low in the MoL bunker. It's about time.Love the return of Crowley's mile-long contract. At least he's consistent. Thankfully, Sam didn't have to sign it.Have we seen those demonic handcuffs before?So glad that Cas had Dean by his side for some of this episode. Cas can still be so damn naive. At least Dean was able to put aside his issues with his friend and was able to provide him with the necessary skepticism that was needed to deal with the angel business including Naomi and getting the cupid's bow.I kind of liked Cas getting all aggressive with Kevin the Prophet.Cas: "Do you really think it's wise to be drinking on the job?" Dean: "What should you been watching?" Love this little exchange.So Abaddon can return in a different body, right?We all knew Metatron couldn't be trusted. God's Scribe was trying to get revenge on those in Heaven that ran him off. Cas wasn't taking part in the Angel Tablet Trials. He was inadvertently helping Metatron conjure up a way to expel the angels from Heaven. Good twist.What's Sammy going through now that he let go of the trial business? He still seems to be in a lot of pain.I can't believe Kevin Tran survived. Good for him.So after all that, Naomi really could be trusted? I don't know. Jury's out on that one. Her methods sucked. However, Metatron took care of her so it doesn't really matter now, does it?Metatron took Cas' grace. We knew that part of the finale would have to set up Misha Collins getting bumped up (once again) to series regular and it did. Cas is without his grace and roaming the earth. While I loved the shot of all the angels falling, I'm not sure if that was a compelling enough ending to the season (at least for me). I didn't quite get the chills but I'm still curious as to what this is all going to mean as far as the direction of the show next season. What will Cas be like?The finale didn't clear up a lot of things for me but it was entertaining. I will say that I still truly believe that Season One's "Devil's Trap" holds up as the best Supernatural season finale ever.Let the latest hellatus begin.
Well, it's the end of Season Eight. Will Sam shut the gates of hell? Will Cas succeed in locking Heaven's Doors? Can Metatron be trusted? Will Crowley defeat the Winchesters?How in the world have we arrived at another season finale? Time flies when you're having fun. Before I get to Metatron and Cas, let's do a couple of things. First, I want to say that my MVP for "Sacrifice" is Mark Sheppard.<

In The City of Bikes: In The City Of The Story Of The Amsterdam Cyclist
Pete Jordan
Harper Perennial, 2013
451 pages
Reviewed by Duncan Hurd
"Chaos," as author Pete Jordan explains, is a word most often used to describe the endless stream of Amsterdamers along some of the city's busiest streets. But behind the seeming chaos is a long history of a city that would not give up the bike.
In the City of Bikes: The Story of the Amsterdam Cyclist is part memoir, part history book. As Jordan shares tales of stumbling unwittingly onto a cycle track and dealing with Amsterdam's notorious bicycle thieves we also hear historical accounts of life on a bike in Amsterdam, from the late 19th century boom, through Nazi occupation and the threat of automobile dominance in the 1960s.

Dillard's 1Q Profit Up 57 Percent
Posted 5/13/2011 07:17 am
Updated 2 years ago
Dillard's Inc. of Little Rock said Friday that first-quarter earnings rose 57 percent to $76.7 million.
"We are extremely pleased to report a strong start to 2011 with record-setting operating results as well as the completion of our 2010 and 2011 share repurchase programs," William T. Dillard II, the company's CEO, said in a news release.
"These results speak for themselves and further affirm the success of our initiatives to create clear distinction at Dillard's and to return value to our shareholders."
Dillard's profit came on first-quarter net sales of $1.469 billion, up from $1.454 billion during the same quarter last year. Those figures include operations of the company's construction business, CDI Contractors.
Excluding CDI sales, Dillard's said total first-quarter merchandise sales reached $1.456 billion compared to $1.429 billion during the same quarter last year. First-quarter merchandise sales were up 2 percent in both total and comparable stores.
Dillard's said the company bought back about $268.7 million, or 6.4 million shares, of the company's Class A Common Stock, completing its 2010 and 2011 share repurchase programs.
The company also reported a 2 percent same-store sales increase and noted an improved gross margin from retail operations and operating expense savings of $4.3 million.
In its report, Dillard's also noted the upcoming closures of three mall locations:
- Highland Mall in Austin, Texas - 190,000 SF
- Decatur Mall in Decatur, Ala. - 128,000 SF
- Westminster Mall in Westminster, Colo. - 159,000 SF
It expects all three to close during the second quarter.
As of April 30, Dillard's operated 294 locations and 14 clearance centers in 29 states. Total square footage was 53.5 million.

What does it take to earn respect? - page 3
I have been a nurse for 30 years and have done anything and everything to advocate for my patients. Why can a doctor.. scream at me ...when I ask for their guidance in a patient care issue?... Read More
- 6Apr 2, '12 by subeeWhy can he do it? Because you stayed there to be a receptacle for violence of the tongue.
Walk away. What's the doc going to say..?"I was screaming at her and she walked away."
Imagine. Just leave, smile in your heart because this jerk is someone else spouse, not yours!
- 3Apr 2, '12 by RNfasterQuote from Been there,done thatThat stinks. It does nothing for patient safety, either. Your institution should have a policy in place to nip that stuff in the bud. If it doesn't (and too many places don't) it's a shame.I have been a nurse for 30 years and have done anything and everything to advocate for my patients.
Why can a doctor.. scream at me ...when I ask for their guidance in a patient care issue?
If you must continue to work there, I think folks on the board had some good suggestions... Walk away... Make an incident report... I had one physician rant at me and hang up when I was calling about a patient issue. I called him again and he asked me why I was calling him again. I asked him if he wanted to do something about X or have me request for a consult. He assented to the consult. (The patient then got what was needed.) The MD was notorious for the bad behavior. Some people didn't bother to write him up as it made no difference. The institution tolerated his antics. I knew this and didn't bother, either. I did tell a manager. I also left that institution as soon as I could.
Check out "Safe Patients, Smart Hospitals..." by Peter Provonost, MD. Good lines of communication are vital to patient safety. Rudeness and temper tantrums undermine it - and should not be tolerated.
I think many healthcare institutions are behind in terms of respectful communication. It's shocking and shameful. Thankfully, I'm working at a place now that does not tolerate bad behavior.
- 5Apr 2, '12 by Been there,done thatThis incident occurred during a phone consultation. I wish I could have walked away or hung up.
I had to swallow that **** sandwich and continue to communicate in order to obtain the order that I knew the patient needed.
Advocating for patients should not require being demeaned.(aka treated like dirt)Last edit by rn/writer on Apr 4, '12 : Reason: Changed profantiy to ***.
- 2Apr 2, '12 by Been there,done thatI am in a position that authorizes admissions, sometimes the patient/ member needs to be transferred from the ER to their network facility.
In this case I felt the member was not stable for transfer.
K+ 6.4 and EKG showed widen QRS and PR interval. I did not want the patient transported . I had one of those gut feelings we all experience.. . I did not want them in an ambulance going into v-tach or Torsades!
The medical directer I consulted simply did not understand my concerns.
- 3Apr 2, '12 by Sun0408Oh I feel ya on that. Just the other night I called cardio because my pt has a HR in the 30's, arrhythmia's all over the place and he was not concerned because the pt still had a BP. WHAT, so we are just gonna wait til this person codes before doing something.. Hairy night but thankfully the pt recovered the next day, and at least his HR and BP are now normal.
- 1Apr 4, '12 by catiernQuote from Been there,done thatNow I understand. Now I am outraged for you! What a foolish, foolish, foolish doctor! He didn't even have the benefit of eye-balling the patient, and as we know, after being a nurse for about a thousand years, these "gut feelings" are often based on a patient's presentation that we may not even be aware of on a conscious level, but never the less, we feel something is not quite right. Most doctors seem to understand and appreciate the fact that the nurses are the eyes and ears and actually with the patient for more than 5 minutes. In this case, for the doc to not only disregard your intuition/assessment but to "scream" at you?? Totally insane. The only thing I can say is, was there another doc you could have called? Whether the answer is yes or no, this is a suggestion I have for you that actually worked.I am in a position that authorizes admissions, sometimes the patient/ member needs to be transferred from the ER to their network facility.

K+ 6.4 and EKG showed widen QRS and PR interval. I did not want the patient transported . I had one of those gut feelings we all experience.. . I did not want them in an ambulance going into v-tach or Torsades!
The medical directer I consulted simply did not understand my concerns.
When the doc starts screaming, unless it's a STAT situation, calmly state: "You seem to be upset right now. I think we cannot have a meaningful conversation now. I will call you back in XXX minutes so you've had a chance to calm down and we can have a meaningful discussion. Thank you." then hang up on him.
Do not take this ridiculous c**p. Good luck to you and give yourself a hug.
- 5Apr 4, '12 by amneshQuote from Been there,done thatBecause you allow them to. I had an instructor in college who never let any physician talk to her nor us as they wanted to. She stressed the need for us to demand respect because WE, not them, are on the front line of the healthcare battle. I had a doctor raise his voice one day and gently grabbed his arm and explained I was a man before I put on this uniform and I am still a man. I said if you cannot respect my title respect me being a man. As I said this I locked eyes with him and he apolgized. Anyone who says because he's a doctor and that allows him to do that is weak and crazy. Demand respect and you will get it.I have been a nurse for 30 years and have done anything and everything to advocate for my patients.Why can a doctor.. scream at me ...when I ask for their guidance in a patient care issue?
- 0Apr 4, '12 by TravelrnplusFrom my experience I can tell you that when doctors yell, it is because they don't know how to articulate the right answer. I have seen more often than not a nurse correct a doctor, whether it was prescribing a particular med or procedure. Not saying that everyone has their own reasons or that one type of healthcare professional is better than the next, but I can personally offer that it is those that get the most heat that make the world a better place!
- 1Apr 4, '12 by nurseclmWalk away! Ignore them! Then when they are not so unstable, take the matter up with them privately with a third person present. There are also such policies, named "Disruptive person" policies, required by JCAHO. Read this policy and speak with a chain of command person whom you trust.
This physician behavior was targeted toward me several times, I walked away. Once a colleague of mine, a male, did the same thing, and a doctor choked him! An my colleague was a Nurse Manager at the time. By that time I was practicing law and my friend called my office to ask for advice. I told him to contact management and call the police. He did and the police went to the doctor's office, and long story short, this doctor received anger management classes and changed. He was an Oncologist and danced at my wedding! We loved the guy, but the pressure at the time, was for him, overwhelming and he sort of cracked! Good luck to you. You do not have to put up with rude behavior. The great thing is, they look like fools and you just keep smiling. You then win!
- 6Apr 4, '12 by cdsgaI'm feeling a little overwrought on this subject for several reasons. Background first...
I too have been a nurse for 34 years this month. I have a very strong personality, and defend with tenacity, my passion for nurses-fighting for the practical tools needed to make our role more patient centered (really, not just words on a mission statement). I have earned certifications in all my specialties over the years, and have maintained current education during the 34 years+nursing school.
My observations are these:
1) nurses don't get respect because they don't demand it or don't feel confident enough in themselves to demand it
2) nurses are still socially admired, but only if they stay in their socially accepted role (for the most part) handmaidens and assistants to doctors, follow orders, work for others
3) nurses don't get respect because they still can't articulate what nursing is-we can't come together as a group of professionals who agree on what it is that we bring to the table. We do things that can't be quantified-therefore it's nebulous and if it doesn't earn money or payment, then it doesn't count
4) we take in abuses on a daily basis-patients, their families, doctors, pharmacists, fellow nurses etc.
5) we have been made to fear for our jobs or made to be the scape-goat for lost income for hospitals, errors made by others which nurses have been made to be responsible for even if we couldn't have helped it-we always could have done more or done better-our best is sometimes not good enough
6) the little time we do spend with our patients has to be fought for and defended continuously
7) mistake proofing or efficiency efforts are not sought from administration/supervisors by the vast numbers of staff-it's a top down decision without due diligence, which in a nutshell tells us that our suggestions are not always taken to heart when trying to find valuable solutions that would help the bedside nurse do a better job and increase quality of care
8) most nurses have tried but have given up and have grown bitter and beaten down in trying to make a better situation for themselves and most importantly for the patient
9) because we are mostly women in this profession, we are undervalued, and underpaid-our salaries are topped out in 15 years-what does that say about the value of experienced nurses staying in the field who have to face the economic pressures as everyone else?
10) most people have no clue what certification in a nursing specialty is, which tells me that nursing(collectively) has not done a good job in communicating what excellence in nursing is to the public
11) we are under pressure to comply with impractical mandates that have no bearing on quality patient care, just have to do with reimbursement from insurers to the healthcare facility-just look at the recent research on the patient satisfaction surveys and quality of care provided, they don't correlate.
It's no wonder nursing is not respected. We are busy, we are trying to balance our lives with our families and work and at times undervalued at every step of our lives. We miss important engagements, we sacrifice alot of our time and talents during our career, and we save lives. Yes nursing saves lives-
Knowing that you do make a difference, should give you great confidence regardless of the 11 reasons I gave-that are MY observations. You may have other reasons, but it's time that nurses articulate clearly and concisely what it is that nurses do for your patients. If you don't know, then you need to figure it out. Finding out that what you do as a nurse is more than task oriented activities during the day-checking boxes and doling out meds-will help you defend your role and give you a sense of great pride in stating proudly what you offer. Sometimes we have to be reminded.
I know that a touch, a explanation of a procedure, taking time to explain or update family on their loved one, delaying a procedure for the patient to get that one last talk with the doctor, smiling, comforting, listening to the patient, doing the things that allay fears and anxiety, collaborating with other members of the healthcare team to give better care, or communicate a patient's issues or changes in status, performing procedures confidently, are SO very important.
Nurses need to be respected, and as long as we stay quiet and fearful, we will never gain the respect we deserve.

Cold snap booms local business
Updated On: Jan 08 2014 09:28:54 AM EST
While the cold weather is bad news for some, certain businesses benefit from these freezing temperatures. Places like coffee shops and hardware stores are going through hot chocolate and insulation like never before.
At Chamblin's coffee shop in downtown Jacksonville, Barista Cayla Begley was the busiest she's been since she started working there.
"We have gotten a lot more business lately when it gets colder some people are trying to stay inside but you know they still have to go to work so they're coming in for those hot apple ciders and those hot chocolates. We are going through it so it's good, we're making good tip money," said Begley.
Tuesday, the shop went through six gallons of milk compared to about three gallons on an average winter day.
"Everyone is sitting indoors… our patio isn't getting much attention," said Begley.
Hardware stores are also picking up.
"Yesterday as people begin to realize, it's sort of like a hurricane when they realize finally it's not going to miss us, it's going to hit us, then they start coming at the last minute," said Ed Powell, owner of Bold City Hardware.
Bold City Hardware is experiencing a higher volume of customers looking for cold weather-related items.
"We probably did three times as much as we ordinarily do in propane. Naturally we sold almost all our pipe insulation any product that prevents freezing is a product that would be on sale today," said Powell.
Powell said if you can learn anything about preparing for the cold this time around, get your supplies early.
"Most people came in and said you know, I was going to do this two years ago and they didn't do it, so naturally they're down here wondering why we're out of stuff," said Powell.
Automotive shops and tire installation businesses are also cashing in with this weather. It's this time of year you usually need a tune-up to get your anti-freeze checked out, your brakes worked on and tires filled up.
