Office of the PresidentEric W. Kaler
In the News
President Kaler Gives Agri-Growth his Outlook on Agriculture
The new University president shares his vision for the future of agriculture at the U of M.
(The following interview originally appeared in the Minnesota Agri-Growth Council Newsletter, Vol. 24, Issue 8, August 2011.)
Last month Eric W. Kaler assumed the presidency of the University of Minnesota (U of M). President Kaler earned a B.S. degree, with honors, in chemical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1978 and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Minnesota in 1982.
President Kaler received one of the first Presidential Young Investigator Awards from the National Science Foundation in 1984 and has received numerous other awards for his research, including the American Chemical Society (ACS) Award in Colloid or Surface Chemistry in 1998. He is a fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the ACS. Further, he has authored or co-authored more than 200 peer-reviewed papers and holds ten U.S. patents.
A month into his new position as president of the University of Minnesota, theAgri-Growth Council sat down with President Kaler to hear about his perspective and plans for agriculture at the University of Minnesota.
Q: What does "agriculture" mean to you, both personally and for the University of Minnesota?
A: I absolutely am a city boy, my mother grew up on a farm in southern Indiana, and I understand the special farming heritage in Minnesota. During my time at the University of Delaware, I learned a lot about the poultry industry (Delaware produces over 200 million broilers a year), and about the sophistication, scale, and complexity of modern agriculture. With ten patents of my own, I care about product development.
I also know that agriculture is a very significant and complex part of the University, too, and I need to better know and more fully understand the many issues, challenges and opportunities within the ag community. I want to be your partner and I want the U of M to be a critical part of the ag community's success.
Q: What role does the University of Minnesota serve in the state's agriculture industry?
A: When the University was established in 1851, agriculture was a key component of our mission, and with the Morrill Act in 1862 it became a central part of the University's land-grant status. It continues to be a major aspect of what we do.
Over the years that mission has evolved - just as the needs of our state have evolved - but we are still home to the state's only College of Veterinary Medicine, we do world renowned plant and soil research, we have 16 regional Extension offices, we are the lifeline to 4-H and the youth in our communities, we work with you on business retention and expansion, and our College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) has nine Research and Outreach Centers across the state.
As a globally recognized public research university, we are leaders in groundbreaking food safety and food science research and development.
We are proud of this heritage and proud of producing scholars, researchers and well-trained young people to be your employees and partners in the state's second-largest industry, which produces an extraordinary $16 billion worth of income from agricultural marketing in the state.
Graduates of CFANS are successful members of your industry. More than 80 percent of CFANS graduates are employed within six months of earning their degrees. We regularly hear from you about the need for workforce development. You embrace our graduates.
We offer the only program in the state that licenses K-12 ag teachers. We train the trainers.
We also regularly make the case in public debate for the importance of agricultural research and development. Phil Pardey, a professor in our Applied Economics Department, has recently published a study that found that federal and other public investment in agricultural research improves productivity and, ultimately, lowers food prices in a world in which food prices are soaring.
Just like state funding for the University - and all public higher education - is at a critical crossroads, so is U.S. agricultural research and development. We want to continue to be leaders in agricultural research.
Q: What experiences or thoughts do you have about land grant institutions and extension outreach?
A: Of course, one of the key elements of the Morrill Act, which established land grant institutions, was to promote practical education in the area of agriculture. And the Smith-Lever Act later formalized the Extension Service. We are committed to that, with two-thirds of Extension's 800 researchers, educators and staff living and working in Greater Minnesota.
We also understand that Extension provides the front door to the University for many Minnesotans, with more than 34,000 volunteers, 700,000 annual program participants and 13 million website visits per year. We want to keep that door open and welcoming.
And our Research and Outreach Centers translate research breakthroughs into useful information and products for Minnesota producers and agribusiness.
Q: How will you address multiple years of reduced state funding for the University of Minnesota and what impact will that have on CFANS and the other agriculture-related entities at the University?
A: Over the past 15 years we have experienced painful cuts to our overall University budget. In the most recent legislative session, we took an almost eight percent reduction.
Despite even larger cuts than that to our state special funding for our agriculture programs, we have continued to make sure that CFANS doesn't experience a disproportionate cut to its budget.
We value CFANS tremendously. Like all of our colleges, it receives funding based on productivity and performance. Meanwhile, we continue to develop partnerships with industry groups, and we are investigating endowments to help us as state funding continues to decline.
The state now supplies only 18 percent of our budget. When I was a graduate student at the U of M in 1978, state funding amounted to about 43 percent of overall funding. The conversation with the decision makers in the state has to change the direction of that trend.
Q: How do you plan to connect with the agriculture community in Minnesota?
A: Regularly and thoughtfully.
Here's a good example: One month into my administration I took my first community visit out of the Twin Cities. It was focused on agriculture. I travelled to Marshall, a thriving regional center in Greater Minnesota with a regional Extension office. There, I spoke to business and agricultural leaders at the Marshall Rotary.
I also met with the chairmen of both the House and Senate agriculture committees, and the vice chairman of the Senate agriculture committee.
I toured Newport Labs in Worthington where University alumni are performing terrific work to ensure that veterinarians and livestock producers are equipped with cutting-edge preventive, diagnostic and educational tools.
The next day I visited Farmfest and met with many folks there, including leaders of commodity groups. I then stopped in on the next generation of agricultural scientists and producers when I chatted with junior high and high school students at the Southwest Research and Outreach Center in Lamberton, who were being taught by U professors at an extraordinary program called University on the Prairie.
I plan to develop strong working relationships with many lawmakers, policy makers and the Governor on agriculture issues, especially as they pertain to educating our students and conducting vital research and development on our campuses.
Q: Do you plan to continue the tradition that President Bruininks started of hosting an annual breakfast at Eastcliff for state agriculture leaders?
A: I'd love to continue to host the annual breakfast.
One request: Can you bring the farm fresh eggs?
Seriously, I look forward to seeing you there to strengthen the partnership between Minnesota's critical and vibrant agricultural community and the University of Minnesota.

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | 9/1/02 | Dateline D.C.
WASHINGTON — Keeping up with the latest around town is usually easy
enough. Lately, however, several topics have been abuzz, and we find our
attention drawn every which way.
With the first anniversary of Sept. 11 almost upon us, terrorism remains
the prime topic, particularly among radio talk shows and in e-mails.
Washington is a virtual fortress; the vice president's home on Massachusetts
Avenue is off limits to most of us; and Crawford, Texas, has doubled its
population with U.S. Secret Service agents — none of which raises our
The second conversation stopper is the FBI and its curious lack of
success in gathering enough evidence to develop a case against Dr. Steven
Hatfill, the fellow with enough means, motive and opportunity to spread
anthrax spores last year. All this, plus the bureau's acknowledgment of the
congressional reports pointing to at least 75 mistakes in applications for
search warrants against suspected spies and terrorists. Such news begins to
shake our confidence in the untouchables.
And then there was the bureau's handling of the Sen. Robert Torricelli
case. The "Torch" wriggled, squirmed, lied — and then walked! Case in point:
Torricelli received three pairs of diamond earrings as a gift from David
Chang, a major fund-raiser for the "Torch." Chang needed help with a
business deal involving North Korea and still more help for another deal
with South Korea. He confessed in federal court in Newark that he gave the
gift in expectation of the senator's help.
Torricelli, not being much of an earring wearer himself, passed the
jewelry on to some lady friends, making no report of the expensive gifts.
When challenged, his stories varied. In one version, the gifts were meant
not for him, but rather for the ladies concerned. In the next version, the
earrings were worth less than $50 a pair and thus were under the reporting
requirement. In the latest revision, the gift was given at Christmas and
with the Christmas exemption, gifts given during the festive season need not
be reported. Christmas exemption indeed! Untouchables the FBI may have been
called, but the "unthinkables" would be more accurate, especially when it
comes to the "unmentionables."
Yet another bit of news making the rounds is the continuing
investigations by Rep.Dan Burton and his House Government Reform Committee
into the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City
on April 19, 1995, which killed 168 people.
There is no doubt that Timothy McVeigh was guilty and deserved the death
penalty; there is every judicial reason why Terry Nichols should be in jail
today as an accomplice. Still, what about the others who helped McVeigh and
Nichols? What about the actions, or lack of actions, by the FBI?
The FBI had issued a warning to government agencies that they had
information that a bombing attack on a federal building, on or about April
19, must be anticipated. No one in Oklahoma City acted on this warning. And
yet, little has been heard about this warning, why it was issued and why it
was not heeded.
When McVeigh was arrested, President Bill Clinton is said to have phoned
Attorney General Janet Reno and told her that "there has to be a guilty
verdict." Reno passed the message on as an order to FBI Director Louis Freeh,
and so it was done. Recall that at that time, Clinton had made one speech
after another saying it was a right-wing plot, denouncing conservatives and
suggesting spectacular arrests could be anticipated.
After the bombing, the FBI put out an all-points bulletin for a short,
dark Mexican-looking male. He was never found. The FBI special agent
involved in the search resigned from the bureau almost at once, to be
replaced by a veteran expert of "Bureau Non-Speak," Danny Deferbaugh.
Consider what might have happened if the description had been not of a
Mexican but of a Mideastern person — perhaps an army veteran from Saddam
Hussein's elite Republican Guard?
It's not so far-fetched. Four days before the bombing, McVeigh was in a
bar in Oklahoma City drinking with an Iraqi. Nine veterans of Saddam's army
had moved to the area to work for a local property management company, and
there are at least 26 sworn affidavits from eyewitnesses to a number of
meetings McVeigh had with this group. Seven of the witnesses claim they saw
one of these men in a Ryder truck with McVeigh.
McVeigh was a U.S. Army veteran of the Gulf war, well trained in the use
of firearms and in demolition explosives. Yet when he was arrested, within
90 minutes of the bomb blast, he was in an old car without license plates
carrying a loaded Glock in his shoulder holster — almost as if trying to
attract attention to himself to buy others time to escape.
Nichols had gone to the Philippines to marry a "mail-order bride," Marife
Torres. According to Manila investigators, Nichols, using the alias "The
Farmer," met at the Torres house with three Mideastern men, led by al-Qaida's
Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, and discussed bombs and bomb-making. The three
Mideasterners were charged with attempting to bomb nine U.S. aircraft. The
FBI dropped this lead in the Murrah bombing, believing it was going nowhere.
According to Manila investigators, Marife Torres Nichols knew the contact
person for the Abu Sayyaf Islamic terrorists who had links to Osama bin
Laden. More important, prior to the bombing, McVeigh made several long
telephone calls a day to her number in the Philippines.
Three people are braving the wrath of the Justice Department in pushing
this investigation: Attorney David Schippers, the Chicago lawyer who was
chief investigative counsel for the House Judiciary Committee in Clinton's
impeachment trial; Larry Johnson, former deputy director of the State
Department's Office of Counter-Terrorism; and Jayna Davis, a reporter for
Oklahoma City's KFOR-TV, an NBC affiliate. Jayna was at ground zero minutes
after the explosion and later offered the FBI 2,000 pages of documents and
KFOR-TV tapes, an offer refused by the Oklahoma Bombing Task Force. The
powerhouse in the call for further investigation is none other than Rep.
Burton, the "pit bull" of Congress.
Of all the chatter making its way around town, we find this particular
banter most intriguing. Why should the Bush Department of Justice be so
uptight about this investigation? After all, Janet Reno was attorney general
at the time and attempted to craft the investigation to please Bill Clinton.
Yet it was Attorney General John Ashcroft who refused to delay the execution
of McVeigh and who has refused to countenance reopening the investigation.
We're hoping someone from Justice might drop into this lively dialogue and
perhaps comment on the possibility of a terror team still in Oklahoma.

A decade ago the birth of Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival was heralded by just 400 die-hard independent-film fans who showed up in Park City, Utah, to watch fare that included Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise. This year the cellular phones alone took up more space, as Park City's Main Street was thronged with filmmakers, distributors, agents, lawyers, journalists, actors, and, quaint as it sounds, a few civilian moviegoers. Some years, the skies of Sundance churn with great gusts of hype (virtually all of last year's vaunted festival favorites flopped in their theatrical runs). But the promise of the next sex, lies and videotape keeps the faithful coming back -- this year, more than 6,000 of them. Said bemused actor Ian Hart, who plays young John Lennon in the rambunctious crowd pleaser Backbeat: ''I don't know what I'm doing here. I don't ski. I don't know who all these people are. And I can't get into any of the movies.''
Winners: In a field crowded with contenders aimed at Generation X, a riveting two-character talkathon about a middle-aged duo's first date took the Grand Jury Prize for dramatic feature. ''I was really sobbing,'' said juror Allison Anders (Gas Food Lodging) of Tom Noonan's What Happened Was..., which also took a screenwriting trophy. ''I was appalled at myself for never having written anything so honest.''
Of the many movies focusing on dysfunctional families, one that went farther than the rest, writer- director David Russell's comedic mother-son incest tale Spanking the Monkey, captured the coveted Audience Award for best drama. But it was the documentary competition that yielded Sundance's most talked-about film. Shot over five years, the gripping, suspenseful three-hour Hoop Dreams (which won the Audience Award for documentaries) follows the high school basketball careers of two NBA aspirants from inner-city Chicago -- and had independents and major studios alike vying for distribution (and even remake) rights. ''Everyone in America should see this movie, the most sweeping social statement about the underclass in America and success in the '90s,'' exclaimed indie-film financier John Pierson.
Influences: Richard Linklater's Slacker, a 1992 Sundance entry, apparently inspired a rash of twentysomething moviemakers to triumph on microbudgets. Kevin Smith, 23, who sold his comic-book collection and maxed his credit cards to make the $27,000 Clerks, a riff on his life as a New Jersey convenience-store clerk, bonded with director Rose Troche, 29, who made the Chicago-set girl-meets-girl romance Go Fish for less than $100,000. ''There are no lesbians where I come from,'' he said cheerfully. ''But it's been cool to hang out together.''
Quentin Tarantino's bloody Reservoir Dogs, which burst on the scene at the '91 fest, proved just as seminal as Slacker, upping the ante for on-screen violence. Roger Avary's Killing Zoe, starring Eric Stoltz and French actress Julie Delpy, boasted Tarantino as executive producer, but its depiction of a vicious bank heist left audiences sharply divided. Acting awards went to Sean Nelson, 13, who plays a self-possessed ghetto kid pulling off a double-cross drug deal in Fresh, and to Alicia Witt, 18, and Renee Humphrey, 18, who go on a murder spree in Fun. The brutality of both movies, however, had audiences cringing. And after seeing Peter Greene -- portraying a tortured schizophrenic in Clean, Shaven -- tear back a fingernail, one filmgoer is said to have fainted.

Five Elements of Inbound Marketing axzm.comSubmitted by nawlready Jan 15 2013 in Inbound.org 6 Comments Discuss (4) |
Often overlooked in the inbound marketing process, design is the aether; the unseen force that binds all the elements together. Good design, along with user experience, is one of the most foundational elements of all online marketing, because it can directly affect conversions.
I wish I could pin it :-(
What a great concept and blog!

Great summary. Design is too often left out of the mix yet plays such a big part of inbound marketing. Glad to see you included it.

An October BBC documentary titled 'Rwanda's Untold Story' represents and repeats most of the flaws and misreadings in the Western narrative on post-genocide Rwanda.
At least 5,000 people have been infected with the deadly disease in West Africa since March. Sierra Leone is the first country to impose a nationwide curfew.
While Boko Haram talks about a 'caliphate' in northeast Nigeria, what it wants is to take the capital of Borno state, Maiduguri. Nigeria formed an entire Army Division to deploy in Borno. But it is not enough.
While a giant new stone may attract news glitter and interest, gems and gold are no longer the needed engines of South Africa's economy.
The US is the biggest financial donor to Ebola-infected countries in West Africa. But the largest number of healthcare workers deployed in the field hail from an island nation with a cash-strapped communist government.
Author helped create the index in 2007 but laments that Africa's two best governed countries are islands far out at sea. Most Africans today have still never known the rule of law, security, good education and free speech.
Days after Botswana is named the best governed nation on the African continent by the Ibrahim Index, a leading diamond concern moves its sales staff there. Joint venture is seen as win-win.
The previous Sudanese civil war and US humanitarian efforts gave world attention to the 'Lost Boys.' But scant attention is paid to 'Lost Girls.' As South Sudan plunges back into conflict, the risks that girls face are mounting.
While a giant new stone may attract news glitter and interest, gems and gold are no longer the needed engines of South Africa's economy.
Maiduguri, a key state capital in northeast Nigeria of two million people is now vulnerable -- just as Mosul in Iraq was to a swift takeover by fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
Arguments that a large African labor pool brings growth through expanded light manufacturing, is belied by the fact that African labor markets aren't now absorbing a vast and growing supply of workers.
The southern African strong man was greeted by President Xi Jinping in a full state visit to China. But did Mugabe put up all his minerals and ore for a badly needed loan?
Despite official denials, European nations list hostage ransoms as 'development assistance.' In 2003 a hostage cost $200,000; today the figure reaches $10 million: New York Times investigation.
Assassins tried to take out Muhammadu Buhari, probably the most popular politician with the 'street.' He was a presidential candidate in 2003, 2007, and 2011, and may be so again in 2015.
A viable peace process for CAR requires involvement of the international community, patience to rebuild the state, and courage to support and at times co-manage the political process.
With millions facing hunger and 1.5 million displaced, President Kiir and rebel leader Machar are supposed to lay down arms and figure out a new government. Just the opposite is happening.
Only Botswana protested when African heads of state voted themselves free from prosecution for genocide and crimes against humanity in a proposed new 'Africa court.'
Mamphela Ramphele's departure from party politics is a sad end to a brilliant career – one that may be so again.

Back on Stage After Cancer Operation
The recent months were rather eventful for Andrea Gerak: in between joyful travels and performances, medical examinations found cervical cancer with her. The singer and her family was struck with the news as a surprise, for Andrea radiates vitality in her closer and broader environ alike. They tried to keep a low profile about it as for the public, one couldn't notice any signs of an illness at the concerts either.
In January, a successful operation was done whereby they removed the affected part in a way that no residue of the disease remained present. Therefore no further medical treatment is needed, only regular check-up.
Recovering, Andrea did not stay idle: she was preparing for her upcoming concerts, with several new songs and gave interviews. For the first time, she speaks about defeting the cancer which is considered dreaded by many:
"To confront the fact of what my illness was, hit me as a huge slap in the face, but I didn't let its pain and shock put me down longer than a moment. I was sure that I would overcome it quickly, because I have so much to do in the world. And in one way or the other, it is still me who is controlling my own body. This incident forced me to do a more thorough self-inspection as well as learn more about how the human body works, for example what does nutrition have to do with cancer or other diseases.
I am encouraging everybody to get the basic information on their own bodies, the physical and mental causes of illnesses and their effective prevention or, when that is needed, handling. And indeed do the necessary steps!
I would like to say thank you for all those who helped me through this difficult period: my family, few friends that knew about it, my doctors (in Stockholm Michael Przedpelski and Margarita Piper, in Budapest Maria Fabian, Peter Lovas, Laszlo Palfalvi - he did the operation - and Peter Lerner) as well as the nurses of Szent Istvan Hospital."
Andrea Gerak was already on stage last week, and at the end of this month she will be heard at the Budapest Fringe Festival.

Visit to Armourers and Brasiers Hall, and Museum of London
On the 8th March 2012, the Tallow Chandlers' Historical Group members and their guests enjoyed a morning visit to the impressive Armourers and Brasiers Company in Coleman Street, where they were warmly welcomed by the Clerk.
The Company has occupied this same site since 1346, and the Hall was one of the few to escape the Great Fire of 1666, and also survive the blitz on London in 1940. The Hall has a high arched roof with mottoes in bold ("Make all sure we are one") under the lantern, and contains a rich display of 16th and 17th century silver, armour and paintings.
After lunch at the London Wall Kitchen, the group were given an excellent tour of the Museum of London by guides from their Development office. The Museum has recently installed a series of new walk-through galleries, providing a fascinating understanding of London's history and heritage.
The guides pin-pointed specific items of costume, cultural way of life, and weaponry from Elizabeth I through the world wars and present day, ending in the gallery containing the Lord Mayor's golden coach. The Museum has developed an ambitious learning programme targetted at primary schools, and their office was particularly appreciative of the recent support given to it by the Tallow Chandlers Company.

what did I get myself into. - page 2
This is my own personal vent..... It is not meant too be rude or offensive to anyone in particular. It is just me venting....... I understand there are a bunch of cna and pct or nurse aids or whatever in nursing school. I... Read More
- 0Jan 11, '13 by cindjo717I totally get what you're saying. It seems like it is very competetive - that some of these "know it alls" is what I call them , are always trying to one up eachother, in this case even the professor! It's really difficult, but sorry to say that I dealt with it for the entire time in class. Glad it's over, just try and find one person who will stick by you and be good to be around. Try to tune the rest of them out. Good luck.
- 0Jan 12, '13 by Annachu512As a pharmacy tech of 13+ year, I love this. I'm sure every class has that annoying experienced CNA that "knows everything". Thankfully, most CNA/aides in my class have been very helpful and understanding so we haven't had much issues with that. I also understand my experience as a pharmacy tech will make me experienced at med math but i am more than happy to help those who do not understand.
The truth is, we are all on this hard road together and when we get there, we'll all be the newbies. Let's help each other finish!
- 0Jan 12, '13 by Mina E.I've been a pharm tech for 10+yrs. I just finished my first semester of the nursing program. I had a classmate tell me the other day that I would be a better RN if stuck around them since they have been a CNA for a few years and would be able to help me. I was speechless but on the inside I laughed because when it came down to pharmacology stuff, I was the one who helped the most. We are all equals in nursing school and have alot to learn. It does bother me a bit when CNA/MA's think they are better than the rest of us and yet they are the ones that are being called out by instructors for not following directions. They are stuck on doing things the way they were taught before nursing school.
- 0Jan 12, '13 by corizrfGreat topic and I'm sorry that you have had this experience. It is a shame, but my hat is off to you. I'm an "experienced nursing student" myself. I start my program in a week. Your post has given me valuable knowledge on what NOT to be like. I'm and EMT-Intermediate, but I DEFINITELY know that I need to learn to think and perform like a nurse. I will remember your topic and ensure that I help anyone who ASKS for help. Like many have said we are all equal as nursing students. Good luck.
- 0Jan 13, '13 by LauraashI appreciate every ones responses. IM glad IM not the only one who has experienced this. I was definitely frustrated, and even told my lab teacher that I felt completely clueless BC of it, but after thinking about it... At some point everyone had issues with ATLEAST one class..... While I don't wish for anyone to fail a class, the evil onery side of me is most definitely hoping her issue class is pharmacology :-P.

Centura Health has more experts in more places throughout the region. Start your health journey by finding the right one for you.
The following are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive about volunteering at Mercy Regional Medical Center:
Q: Are there age requirements to volunteer at Mercy Regional Medical Center?
A: Yes. Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older. Some volunteer opportunities may be limited due to additional age requirements.
Q: I don't have a Social Security Number. Can I still apply to volunteer?
A: No. A valid Social Security Number is required because no other form of identification can be substituted for our verification process.
Q: I have court-ordered community service. Can I volunteer at Mercy Regional Medical Center?
A: No. We cannot accept court-ordered service volunteers.
Q: Where do I send my completed application?
A: You may complete and submit your application online here. All applicants under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign the Authorization to Volunteer.
Q: What will happen if I don't agree to complete the screening process?
A: According to laws and health care regulations, all prospective volunteers are required to complete our screening process, which includes a thorough background check and health screening. Those who do not complete the screenings will not be able to volunteer at Mercy Regional Medical Center. This process, though rigorous, helps to ensure the health and well-being of our volunteers, staff, and the patients and families we serve. As a result, it is a benefit to you as well as to Mercy Regional Medical Center.
Q: What should my immunization record show?
A: We require proof of immunization against MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and chickenpox (varicella). If you do not have records of these immunizations, you may ask your physician to draw a blood titer to determine which vaccinations you have received. If you have not had the above immunizations, you will need to receive these before volunteering; the costs of obtaining those immunizations will be your responsibility to incur, so you may want to check with your insurance provider or physician's office.
Q: Where can I get a physical or have blood titers drawn to prove immunity?
A: Your family physician should be able to assist; however, if you don't have a physician or don't live close to your physician's office, you may call the volunteer office to arrange a blood draw at Mercy. All costs of obtaining a physical or immunizations are your responsibility, so you may want to check with your insurance provider or physician's office.
Q: Why do I need a Tuberculosis (TB) test and what is it?
A: The TB test is used to determine if you have developed an immune response to the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB). This response can occur if someone currently has TB, has been exposed to it in the past, or has received the BCG vaccine against TB (this vaccine is not given in the U.S.). At Mercy we do a TB Quantiferon. This is a blood test that takes the place of doing multiple TB skin tests.
Q: Who should I contact if I still have questions?
A: If you have questions or would like additional information, please call Erica Kelly, volunteer coordinator, at (970) 764-3536.
Our search tools require a zip code to match the location nearest you.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

If you're looking for a top Christian college that will prepare you academically, socially and spiritually, your best Christian college choice is the University of Mobile!
We asked our students to tell us what makes the University of Mobile the best Christian college, and they told us! A recent national student satisfaction survey of University of Mobile students shows they believe the quality of instruction is excellent, the content of academic courses is valuable, and professors are readily available outside of class to advise, discuss and mentor. If that's not enough to make the University of Mobile your best Christian college, there's more!
Our students also say the UMobile experience has improved their critical thinking, leadership and written communication skills. Plus, they say a caring and helpful campus staff and a welcoming atmosphere make college life at the University of Mobile a great place to live and learn.
As one of "America's Best Christian Colleges" and "America's 100 Best College Buys," the University of Mobile has even more to offer than most colleges. Our students say opportunities for spiritual growth are plentiful, both in the classroom and through campus life and community service.
Our beautiful wooded campus is located on over 800 acres just 10 minutes north of historic downtown Mobile, Alabama, and about an hour from Gulf Coast beaches. UMobile has the perfect setting for a unique Christian college experience that prepares graduates for "Changing Lives to Change the World."
The University of Mobile offers you the best Christian college experience with outstanding academic programs in more than 40 areas of study. Whether you are looking for the best performing arts college, a top nursing school, a business degree that applies Biblical principles, or an environment where Christian professors pour their lives into preparing you to change the world, the University of Mobile provides the best in Learning, Faith & Leadership. A student:faculty ratio of 14:1 means small classes and personal attention from faculty, and our enrollment of over 1,700 means the campus is small enough to feel comfortable yet large enough to offer a wide range of student events and activities.
As an accredited Christian university, UMobile provides outstanding academic programs through the College of Arts and Sciences, Center for Performing Arts, School of Business, School of Christian Studies, School of Education, School of Nursing, School of Worship Ministries, Center for Adult Programs and Graduate Program.
With eight national NAIA championships, more than 300 all-time NAIA All-Americans and more than 100 all-time NAIA Scholar-Athletes, the University of Mobile fields an outstanding athletic program. UMobile students and alumni have competed in the Olympics in softball, the World Series of Major League Baseball, women's soccer World Cup and Major League Soccer. Being the best Christian college in athletics means coaches care about competing at the top levels, and they care deeply about developing their players as men and women of strong character and faith.
Backpacking through Europe, stormchasing in the Midwest, teaching children in Uganda, providing homeless men with clothes suitable for job interviews, organizing an inner-city community to create positive change through free enterprise, mentoring underprivileged youth – these are just a few of the ways University of Mobile students experience college. From academics to campus life, from classroom discussions to hands-on learning in the field, the best Christian college is one that gives you the knowledge to succeed and the experiences that change your life.
Visit our campus and see for yourself why the University of Mobile is your best Christian college choice! Schedule your campus visit today at www.umobile.edu/visit or call 251.442.2222 or 800.WIN.RAMS. Or, go ahead and apply now at www.umobile.edu/apply.

Throughout the state, fire departments are struggling to stay afloat. In municipalities across the Mohawk Valley, fire departments are looking at consolidation. Six Herkimer County departments are currently involved in a study. As our Cara Thomas tells us, they hope they'll figure out not only what's best for their departments, but also for the community.
HERKIMER COUNTY, N.Y. -- The process began more than two years ago when six Herkimer County fire departments began to take a hard look at their situation. With budgets being tight at the career departments and a shortage of volunteers at the others, fire chiefs say they knew something had to change.
East Herkimer Fire Chief Ben Keller said, "We formed a committee through the county fire advisory board to look into the topic and see if we could secure some funding to perform a survey on services provided in the Valley." And they got it. The funding is money left over from a 2009 Homeland Security grant, which was given to the county's Emergency Services Department. The fire advisory committee has selected a consultant and the study has begun.
"We're hoping that the study will at least give us a good place to start when it comes to what we can do to, not necessarily save money, but to better utilize the resources that we have," said Keller.
Fire chiefs from East Herkimer and Frankfort say through the study's results, they hope to find ways to better work together, whether it be a consolidation of equipment and training or possibly sharing staff and becoming a larger fire district.
Fire chiefs say this is still a very preliminary stage in the consolidation process and no decision will be made until the study is completed, which should take about four months.
Keller said, "If we can get a head of the curve and study it from the perspective of the local fire service being the lead on this type of a study, in the long run it will be beneficial to where we land in the future."
Out of the six fire departments, two are career stations, three are volunteer and one is both. But officials say that shouldn't be a problem: They say they'll find ways to make it work.

The medical term for crossed eyes is strabismus.StrabismusStrabismus is a disorder in which the two eyes do not line up in the same direction, and therefore do not look at the same object at the same time. ...ImageRead Article Now Book Mark Article The goal of this surgery is to allow the eye muscles to be in proper position and help the eyes move correctly.Eye muscle surgery is usually done on children, but adults who have similar eye problems may also have it done. Children will usually receive general anesthesia for the procedure. They will be asleep and will not feel pain.General anesthesiaGeneral anesthesia is a treatment with certain medicines that puts you into a deep sleep so you do not feel pain during surgery. When you receive th...Read Article Now Book Mark Article Depending on the problem, one or both eyes may have surgery.After the anesthesia has taken effect, the eye surgeon makes a small surgical cut in the clear tissue covering the white of the eye. This tissue is called the conjunctiva. Then the surgeon will locate one or more of the eye muscles that needs surgery. Sometimes the surgery strengthens the muscle, and sometimes it weakens it.ConjunctivaThe conjunctiva is a thin membrane that covers the inner surface of the eyelid and the white part of the eyeball (the sclera). Inflammation of the co...ImageRead Article Now Book Mark Article To strengthen a muscle, a section of the muscle or tendon may be removed to make it shorter. This step in the surgery is called a resection. To weaken a muscle, it is reattached at a point farther toward the back of the eye. This step is called a recession.The surgery for adults is similar. Most adults are usually awake and sleepy, but pain free. Numbing medicine injected around the eye blocks the pain.Often in adult surgery, an adjustable suture is used on the weakened muscle. Minor corrections can be made later that day or the next day, when the patient is fully awake. This technique usually has a very good outcome.I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All Why the Procedure Is Performed Strabismus is a disorder in which the two eyes do not line up in the same direction and therefore do not look at the same object at the same time. The condition is more commonly known as "crossed eyes."Surgery may be recommended when strabismus does not improve with glasses or eye exercises. Risks Risks for any anesthesia are:Reactions to anesthesia medicines Breathing problemsRisks for any surgery are:Bleeding InfectionSome other possible complications are:Wound infections Damage to the eye (rare) Permanent double vision (rare) Before the Procedure Your child's eye surgeon may ask for:A complete medical history and physical exam of your child before the procedure Orthoptic measurements (eye movement measurements)Always tell your child's doctor or nurse:What drugs your child is taking Include any drugs, herbs, or vitamins you bought without a prescription About any allergies your child may have to any medicines, latex, tape, or soaps or skin cleanersDuring the days before the surgery:About 10 days before the surgery, you may be asked to stop giving your child aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), warfarin (Coumadin), and any other drugs that make it hard for blood to clot. Ask your child's doctor which drugs your child should still take on the day of the surgery.On the day of the surgery:Your child will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything for several hours before the surgery. Give your child any drugs your doctor told you to give your child with a small sip of water. Your child's doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive for the surgery. The doctor will make sure your child is healthy enough for surgery and does not have any signs of illness. If your child is ill, the surgery may be delayed. After the Procedure This surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis. The eyes are usually straight right after surgery.While recovering from the anesthesia and in the first few days after surgery, your child should avoid rubbing the eyes. Your surgeon will show you how to prevent rubbing.After a few hours of recovery, the child may go home. You should have a follow-up appointment with the eye surgeon 1 to 2 weeks after the surgery.You will probably need to put drops or ointment in the child's eyes to prevent infection. Outlook (Prognosis) Eye muscle surgery does not fix the poor vision of a lazy (amblyopic) eye. The child may have to wear glasses or a patch.In general, the younger a child is when the operation is performed, the better the result. Your child's eye should look normal a few weeks after the surgery.Related Information StrabismusConjunctiva Eye muscle repair ... Open ReferencesReferencesBiglan AW.
