The announcement by Israel to modify its blockade policy comes after weeks and months of mounting international pressure on it to end its siege of the Gaza Strip.
Some say that is the only reason why Israel is doing this.
What is important is that Israel has decided to shift its policy from allowing items into Gaza to prohibiting items it deems dangerous from entering.
However, the devil will be in the details of what Israel prohibits and and what it allows. Will it be made public and will it be constantly changing?
The current system of allowing only dozens of items in was constantly criticised by groups that work in Gaza because the list keeps changing every week.
This is not an end to Israel's siege of Gaza but an adjustment or modification.
The security cabinet said last week it was "a liberalisation of the system by which goods are delivered into Gaza".
How this policy is implemented on the ground will determine its true impact in the coming weeks and months.
It should be noted that there is no mention of:

I'm guessing they put a lot of emphasis on the essays... The only thing I had going for me was a semi-decent GPA, two nursing scholarships, and good essays. I've worked since my freshman year of high school but they were all food related jobs. I really wonder what they look for!
But I'm sorry you guys didn't make it! You guys are probably much more deserving than I was!

The House's violence against the Violence Against Women Act
May 25, 2012
When we think of the women that Republicans in Congress want to exclude from some protections in the Violence Against Women Act — undocumented immigrants, Native Americans, lesbians abused by female partners — we can't help but think of a speech attributed to the Civil War-era abolitionist Sojourner Truth in 1851: "And ain't I a woman?" To paraphrase another eloquent author, if undocumented immigrant women are beaten, do they not bruise? If Native American women are sexually assaulted by non-Native men, are they not traumatized?
Extend Violence Against Women Act
April 22, 2012
and is a former district attorney and U.S. attorney Patrick Meehan represents the Seventh Congressional District, Risa Vetri Ferman is district att
Headlines like "Stabbing victim feared estranged husband would kill her" and "Two plead guilty to raping 12-year-old girl" are haunting reminders of the violence and sexual abuse that occur far too often. According to a 2010 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, more than 1.9 million women in Pennsylvania have been victims of sexual assault, physical violence, or stalking. Domestic violence and sexual assault leave scars beyond the physical damage. The emotional wounds cut far deeper than the injuries we can see. Victims are often left to heal, physically and emotionally, on their own. As current and former prosecutors, we know from firsthand experience that Southeastern Pennsylvania has some of the best victim services organizations and advocates to help women and children through the healing process.
Senate Dems battle GOP over domestic-violence law
March 16, 2012
By Rob Hotakainen and Sean Cockerham, McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON - After winning a fight just last week to preserve contraceptive health-insurance coverage for women, Senate Democrats on Thursday battled conservative Republicans who say they don't want to expand an 18-year-old federal law that created a national strategy to prevent domestic violence against women. While Democrats say they're shocked at any opposition to renewing the Violence Against Women Act, which passed in 1994 with bipartisan support, opponents are trying to block the legislation because they fear it would broaden American Indian tribal rights and has too many protections for gay and illegal-immigrant victims of violence.
Biden's misguided violence bill
December 7, 2007
By MIKE McCORMICK & GLENN SACKS
WHEN IT COMES to domestic-violence legislation, the road to hell is paved with good intentions - and Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., owns an asphalt company. Biden's latest foray into the issue is the National Domestic Violence Volunteer Attorney Network Act, which amends his Violence Against Women Act to create an extensive network of volunteer lawyers to help abused women. They would provide free legal help in crafting divorce or separation agreements and winning child custody. According to Biden, S. 1515, soon to be heard by the Judiciary Committee and is co-sponsored by Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, will enlist 100,000 volunteer attorneys.
LETTERS Abuse flows both ways
September 20, 2005
MARY SHAW'S Sept. 12 op-ed discusses a very important subject: domestic abuse and the Violence Against Women Act. Unfortunately, just like VAWA, Shaw ignores a large percentage of victims: men. More than 170 studies, reviews and analyses demonstrate that, worldwide, women are approximately as likely to initiate domestic violence against men as the reverse. (VAWA's "man hurts woman" archetype also does a disservice to victims within the gay and lesbian community.) Men are, on average, stronger than women, but this often benefits women, as it results in violence against men being treated as less serious, and, in some cases, a joke.
Don't abandon those 700 women
September 12, 2005
By MARY SHAW
NICOLE BROWN Simpson. Laci Peterson. And, more recently, Philly's own LaToyia Figueroa. All beautiful, vibrant young women, cut down in their prime by men they had loved. And most people probably don't realize that these high-profile cases represent only the tip of the iceberg. For each case that happens to catch the attention of the mainstream media, thousands more go unnoticed, mourned only by their families and neighbors within their own communities. Yes, thousands. In fact, more than 700 women are abused or sexually assaulted by their partner each day in the United States.
Stopping Domestic Violence Federal Law Can Help Do That
July 21, 2005
WOMEN AND children fleeing domestic violence often have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. In fact, domestic violence is a major cause of homelessness: An astonishing 92 percent of homeless women have been assaulted physically or sexually at some point in their lives. Victims of domestic violence often go back to their abusers because they don't have anywhere else to go. Many don't call the police because they fear they will lose their housing if they do. Battered-women's shelters are a first step to safety for these women and their children, but only a first step.
Safety For Women
September 28, 2000
Congress is in an eleventh-hour rush to do right by women victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. A strong federal role has garnered powerful support on the Hill, but until this week, intramural bickering had blocked decisive action. On Tuesday, the U.S. House overwhelmingly passed a $3.8 billion, five-year commitment to battle violence against women and to provide services to victims. Now the Senate must pass its version, and the two chambers need to reconcile them quickly to keep Washington's leadership on this vital issue from withering.
Did Supreme Court's Ruling Miss Mark? This Decision Must Be Made By Congress
May 19, 2000
By U.S. Sen. Joseph R. Biden, Jr
On Monday, the Supreme Court struck down a key part of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act: the provision that allowed women to sue their abusers in federal court. By a 5-4 majority, the Court ruled that adjudication of such claims was more properly a matter for state courts. On today's Commentary Page, Gregory Sullivan, a New Jersey lawyer, writes in favor of the decision, while U.S. Sen. Joseph Biden (D., Del.) writes in opposition. I am disappointed, but not surprised, by the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision Monday to strike down the one piece of the landmark Violence Against Women Act that empowers a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault to sue her attacker in federal court.
$200,000 Will Help Agencies, Delco Fight Domestic Abuse
January 20, 1997
By Mary Anne Janco, INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
Counselors knew that Ellen Raye Moor of Chester, a 42-year-old mother of three, was the victim of continued abuse and violence. Despite their efforts, she could not overcome her fear and testify against her boyfriend. On June 1, she was stabbed to death. Her boyfriend, Frederick Evans, now faces trial on charges of murder. In 1995, Venir Harris was slain hours after her boyfriend, Bruce Davis, was released from Delaware County Prison. He had been charged with assaulting Harris but was freed when she declined to testify against him. Davis was convicted of fatally stabbing Harris and sentenced last year to life imprisonment.

"The field of audio and music technology is rapidly changing," observed Mark Bocko, chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Science in the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Science. "More and more musicians are producing high-quality audio CDs at home, causing a decline in employment opportunities in traditional recording studios. But the industry that builds the audio equipment and software is booming, as are a number of audio-related industries. So instead of focusing on traditional audio recording, we chose to address the technological demands of the entire field."

I made brownies for the first time a couple of weeks ago and they came out perfectly. The top was glossy and cracked and looked just like the picture. But I have made them twice since and done exactly the same thing but they just look lumpy. They taste lovely but don't look very nice. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Nigella! You recently did a recipe for chocolate squares that had Crunchie bars crushed into the chocolate. I have searched your site but cannot find this lovely treat, please help! Thanks, Jeannie
I'm looking for a recipe Nigella made on her TV show. It contained golden syrup, chocolate, salted peanuts, crushed chocolate bars and butter. Can you help? I would love to make it. Thank you, MissRobin

If I mix Marmite and butter together, as Nigella does in How To Eat (p505), how long will it last in the fridge?

Hi Nigella! Thanks for all the great food inspiration you share. I really enjoy your recipies. I have just seen your Christmas program from 2009, when you cooked the aromatic Christmas ham. You used a very nice convex shaped stainless pot. I would be very glad if you could tell me the brand name for that beautiful stainless pot. Looking forward to hear from you. Ciao from Asa in Stockholm.
Hi Nigella and team. I have joyfully tried out the recipe for the ginger glazed ham for Christmas dinner to accompany the goose my father in law cooked and I am very happy to say that it tasted fantastic. Thank you for the wonderful easy recipe! Unfortunately the stock pot that I had was a bit too small and for the entire cooking time I was forced to keep turning it to ensure it cooked evenly. To avoid having to do that every time I go to cook it, I wanted to get the pot that Nigella uses to cook her other hams in the series. However I am having a very hard time trying to find a stockist for it in the UK. Would you be so kind as to help me out in locating one so that I can make this recipe without it requiring my attention every 5 minutes? Kind Regards, Amanda

I have made the Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake from How To Be A Domestic Goddess (p166) twice, but both times it has sunk in the middle on cooling. The cakes still tasted very nice, but it didn't look right, and the structure of the sunken bit obviously isn't right. Please could you help me work out where I'm going wrong? Because I'm pretty sure the problem is me, not the recipe. Thank you very much. Dennis

I'd like to try some alternatives to flour. For a biscuit recipe (Anzacs), I want to substitute almond meal for the plain flour the recipe requires. Should I still use bicarbonate of soda to get them to rise, or does this only work with flour?

Wendy Woes, Harman next?
Scottish Labour leader faces new inquiry into donations | Special Reports | Guardian Unlimited Politics
The Scottish Labour leader, Wendy Alexander, has refused to resign after it emerged that prosecutors are to launch a new investigation into her failure to declare nearly £10,000 in donations. She brushed off the investigation as a "distraction", insisting she did nothing wrong....10 donations of between £950 and £999 last autumn...She refused to explain why neither she nor her campaign aides had declared the donations when she first received them, and had waited more than two months before approaching the Scottish parliament's standards office for advice.....She was also pressed yesterday to explain why those donations were needed, as she went into the leadership contest unopposed.
10 donations just under the limit she thought would mean she had to declare them...some coincidence....

December 18, 2014
SEATTLE (AP) -- The Board of Pharmacy in Washington state says drug stores have a duty to fill lawful prescriptions even if an individual pharmacist objects, such as in the case of "morning-after" birth control.
Pharmacists or drug stores that violate the rules could face discipline including loss of their license.
Under the new rule, pharmacists with personal objections to a drug could have a co-worker fill an order. But that would only apply if the patient could get the prescription in the same pharmacy visit.
Opponents predict a court challenge.
The morning-after birth-control pill, sold over-the-counter as Plan B, is a high dose of the drug found in many regular birth-control pills. But some people consider the pill related to abortion.

Evangelos Venizelos, the Greek finance minister, has announced a new round of tax increases and spending cuts worth about $5.3bn.
People on the streets of Athens, who have protested for weeks over the government's plan to carve out savings of $39bn by 2015, reacted in more anger to the latest announcement.
They said the new measure fails to tackle rampant tax evasion and corruption and that it would hit honest taxpayers the hardest.

Old Macdonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O. And on this farm he had – well, quite a lot of stuff really. So show the kids some of the best bits this weekend.
Pack everyone up and head out west for a day of fresh air, fun and furry animals down on the farm. Grab a family park pass for two adults and up to three children (aged 1-14 years old) to Kiwi Valley for just $32. Get a single adult admission for $7, or a single child admission for $8.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Agent Cody Banks movie trailer - starring Keith David, Arnold Vosloo, Hilary Duff, Frankie Muniz, Cynthia Stevenson, Angie Harmon. Directed by Harald Zwart. Genre: Action-Adventure
Rating: PG
Second trailer for Agent Cody Banks is extremely similar to the first, with even the same conclusion.
To his family and friends, Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) is a typical teen - he loves to skateboard, hates math, and feels like a complete idiot around girls. But Cody's got a secret - he's actually part of a secret teen CIA program.
Cody's living every boy's dream life - he can drive like a stuntman, has an incredible arsenal of cool gadgets, and his agency mentor, Ronica Miles (Angie Harmon), is totally hot. But Cody's training is put to the test when he's sent to pose as a prep school student and befriend fellow teen Natalie Connors (Hilary Duff) in order to gain access to her father, a scientist unknowingly developing a fleet of deadly nanobots for the evil organization ERIS. From runaway cars and high-speed snowboard chases to a spectacular final mountaintop showdown, Cody has to use everything he's learned to prove himself as an agent and stop ERIS... and maybe even get the girl.

Media Memo: Board of Regents to consider Confluence project resolutionAugust 18, 2014
TO: News Editors and Directors
FROM: Julie Poquette, University Communications director
DATE: Aug. 18, 2014
SUBJECT: Board of Regents to consider Confluence project resolution
The UW System Board of Regents will consider 2015-17 biennial capital budget recommendations for the system and a resolution in support of the Confluence arts center project in downtown Eau Claire during an all-regent's meeting at 1:15 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 21, at UW Oshkosh.
The resolution to be considered by the regents would reaffirm the board's support for the Confluence arts center and direct UW System President Ray Cross to work with the state Department of Administration to implement the project. The text of the resolution is included in the agenda for Thursday's full Board of Regents meeting and is set forth below.
"We've known all along that the regents' support for the Confluence arts center is crucial to the future of the project, so we're pleased that they will be considering a resolution of support for the project and seeking state funding for it," said UW-Eau Claire Chancellor James Schmidt. "Since Governor Walker's remarks in June during his visit to Eau Claire, we've known that a non-UW System route to funding was a possibility. We look forward to the regents approving the resolution and bringing the Confluence arts center one step closer to becoming a reality."
Board of Regents 2015-17 capital budget request resolution
That, upon the recommendation of the President of the University of Wisconsin System, the 2015-17 Capital Budget request be submitted to the Department of Administration and the State Building Commission. The 2015-17 Capital Budget request includes the following:
- Enumeration of 29 major projects at a cost of $299 million General Fund Supported Borrowing, $232 million Program Revenue Supported Borrowing, $43 million Program Revenue-Cash, and $32 million Gift/Grant Funds.
- Enumeration of $74 million General Fund Supported Borrowing for All Agency Maintenance and Repair and Small projects; and $10 million General Fund Supported Borrowing for the Instructional Space Projects Program.
- Authorization for the UW System President or designee to adjust individual project budgets as necessary in the development of the final 2015-17 Capital Budget recommendation with the Wisconsin Department of Administration.
Let it be herein further resolved, that the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents reaffirms its support for the UW-Eau Claire Confluence Project and directs the President or his designees to work with the Department of Administration to implement the project.
Contact Mike Rindo, UW-Eau Claire assistant chancellor for facilities and university relations, with questions at 715-836-4742 or email@example.com.

I just found out that for the past 2 months STBXH has been collecting unemployment to the sum of about $2200. Is it a whole lot of money for 2 months, no, but we have talked a few times about supervised visitation and random finicial stuff and he never told me.
Does he have bills, yes, BUT I could care less if his lawyer gets paid. How about $50 for formula and diapers. Honestly, why do stupid, selfish DB men expect us to be reasonable and "understanding". I will never understand it. Trying to hide this from me when you keep asking how I am and trying to tell me how sorry you are for everything... well I am tired of "I'm sorry"!
Am I surprised this happend, NO. I was lied to a lot obviously, but I still get so mad.
FYI- I am waiting till he is in prison (as advised by my lawyer) to file for divorce because it will make my life easier.
No, I haven't filed yet because I wasn't aware he had any income to garnish and so I was going to wait until he was in prison to worry about it but now...
Honestly, he gave his last paycheck from his last employer and since I didn't expect him to have any money coming in I was putting it off because I knew even though I would collect arrears he wouldn?t have money to pay (probably ever)? so I was trying not to stress over that with all of the criminal court stuff going on. I was just trying to focus on getting back on my feet and not worry about money I thought wasn't there.

HOUSTON (AP) - A former Houston police officer convicted in the videotaped beating of a 15-year-old burglary suspect during a daylight arrest is seeking a new trial, citing juror misconduct.
Attorneys for Drew Ryser said in a court motion filed Wednesday that the jury foreman researched the case online outside the courtroom, looking up the word "mistreatment" and sharing the search results with fellow jurors, contrary to instructions from the judge, the Houston Chronicle reported (http://bit.ly/12jxTL3 ).
Special prosecutor Tommy LaFon said the issue will be reviewed.
"It's something that we need to look at and ascertain exactly what's going on," LaFon said.
Jurors convicted Ryser last month of misdemeanor official oppression in the March 2010 beating of Chad Holley. Ryser was sentenced to two years of probation.
Lisa Andrews, one of Ryser's attorneys, said jury foreman Jan Goehring did the online research after a day of deliberations, then brought his findings to the six-person panel the next day. The jury reached its verdict that day after 10 hours of deliberations.
"Bringing something into the jury room that didn't come from the evidence or testimony is called 'outside influence' and the law is clear," she said. "Drew Ryser deserves a new trial because the jury foreman did his own research."
Jurors are allowed to consider only evidence the trial judge has allowed.
The motion also said the jury foreman told the other jurors that a "friend" told him not to worry about Ryser because "he has a job and has moved on with his life."
The motion includes affidavits from two jurors swearing that Goehring brought in outside information. One juror said it influenced her decision to convict the officer.
No telephone listing for Goehring was available and he could not be reached Thursday for comment.
The judge at the trial, Ruben Guerrero, repeatedly advised jurors to not do any personal research or talk to others about the case.
"This juror clearly violated the judge's orders," Andrews said. "And he appeared to know more about the case than the other jurors."
Two other Houston officers received probation after pleading no contest in April to misdemeanors related to the March 23, 2010, beating caught on video. A fourth officer was acquitted.
Holley was convicted of burglary and sentenced to probation, then last year was arrested on another burglary charge and sentenced in April to six months in jail.

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.

There is a new fireworks store being built just over the NY state line in Choconut, PA. This store is being built in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood. Because there is no zoning in Choconut Township, there is nothing the neighbors can do to stop this from happening. Many residents feel that this business is a threat to the safety of their homes and children. A group of concerned citizens will attend the Choconut Township Meeting to voice their concerns on January 7th.

Event Planning Guide
Electrical Needs for Your Event
The information contained here articulates the circumstances in which the services of an electrician are needed for a campus event, the method to use when requesting these services, as well as the fees involved.
Electrician Services
An electrician will be needed for your event in the following situation:
- The D.J., band, or performer at your event requires electricity to support the performance in an area where there is no electricity or where the electrical service is not sufficient.
- Vendor(s) at your event will be serving or preparing food or providing entertainment in an area without outlets where electricity is required. Examples might be electricity needed for beverage dispensing equipment, rides or games, popcorn, cotton candy, or snow cone machines.
- A University caterer will be serving or preparing food in an area without outlets. Examples might be food preparation/warming areas, or beverage dispensing equipment.
- Outside lighting is needed in an area where there is none or the existing lighting is insufficient. An example might be twinkle lights, or some other special lighting.
- A lit exit sign is required where there is none. An example might be a lit exit sign inside a tent containing sides, as required by State Law.
- Lighting is needed in the tent you have rented.
- Heaters will be used inside a tent you have rented and the electrical service is needed to run the heater. Note that the cost of the heater (provided by the tent company) is separate from the cost of providing electrical service.
- Standby service of an electrician is required at your event. Note, any time electric service is provided an electrician is required to be present. They are mandated to be present at least one half hour before the event begins, remain present throughout the entire event, and stay one half hour after the event is over. If a band or entertainer requiring electric will be performing at your event an electrician must be present when set up begins and be present for the event as described here. You will be charged the hourly rate for one electrician for all events held after normal business hours. (see Fees for Service).
Note: If standby service is needed during normal business hours, defined as weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., there is no charge.
Requesting An Electrician
Because of the technical nature of electrician services you are asked to contact our experts in Grounds and Building Maintenance who will work with you to make sure you receive the appropriate service for your event. They will in turn place the work order request for you.
Before You Call
Before contacting Grounds and Building Maintenance staff, consider these questions to guide you in your communications with our staff.
- What is the location within the event site where electric is needed?
- What is the intended use of the equipment for which electric service is needed?
- How will the equipment needing electric service be delivered to the site?
- Who is providing the equipment?
- How much power is required? How many circuits are needed? Note: If power is needed for a band or other performer, their contract will usually specify these electric requirements.
- Can you provide a copy of the performer's contract (if applicable)?
- Does the equipment require any special plugs or connections?
- Does your caterer have any special needs? Is there a contract specifying these needs?
- Can you provide a copy of the caterers contract (if applicable)?
Who To Contact
Either individual will discuss your needs and place your work request for you.
- Charlie Krank, Assistant Director, Grounds and Building Maintenance.
- Ken Grayson, Foreman, Electric Shop
Telephone: (609) 258-3991

The One Place All Design-Lovers Must Visit
Susan Weber on the history of design and how to truly develop an "eye"
By Ingrid Abramovitch
Susan Weber
Susan Weber says she put the cart before the horse when she founded the Bard Graduate Center program in the decorative arts and design history in New York in 1993. "We burst on the scene, and for 20 years we were playing catch-up," she says. But what this academic and curatorial dynamo (who used to be married to billionaire George Soros and largely funded the center herself) has managed to accomplish in two decades is seriously impressive. Operating out of a pair of townhouses on the Upper West Side, the institute has evolved into a globally respected think tank that trains curators and collaborates on exhibitions with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Her latest coup: a textbook for the field, History of Design: Decorative Arts and Material Culture, 1400–2000.

UW-Eau Claire art students give McIntyre Library reference desk a faceliftFebruary 7, 2013
|Pictured at the new McIntyre Library reference desk they designed and built are (from left) UW-Eau Claire students Emily Hultman and Kelsey Temanson, and art faculty member Jason Lanka.
EAU CLAIRE — Finding the reference desk at McIntyre Library will no longer be a problem for University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire students and other library visitors, thanks to two UW-Eau Claire art students.
Seniors Kelsey Temanson, an art-illustration major from Stratford, and Emily Hultman, an art-education major from Slinger, took on the task of making the reference desk more visible as a project for service-learning credit.
According to Jill Markgraf, associate professor and head of research and instruction at McIntyre Library, "The desk, once unnoticed and overlooked, now serves as a stunning focal point for the library, as well as an impressive display of student talent and collaboration."
During the fall 2012 semester, library staff began searching for a sign to help the service area stand out. Impressed by the work of art students in the past, they decided to garner the help of UW-Eau Claire students as a way to display student talent.
"The library is committed to showcasing student work, and projects like this enable us to do that," Markgraf said. "We take great pride in being able to say, 'Our students did this!'"
Throughout the fall semester, Temanson and Hultman met with library staff members to discuss the needs and purpose of the desk. It was through these deliberations that the group decided to redesign the desk itself, Markgraf said.
"Having this opportunity to build a piece for the library was something I could not pass up," Temanson said. "The ability to create whatever we wanted within a certain budget gave us many options and I wanted to try something different."
The students, under the direction of Jason Lanka, assistant professor of sculpture, built the desk façade during Winterim. The finished product was installed Jan. 17.
The desk façade features a solid oak top with a multidimensional front piece revealing the library logo, which Markgraf said was designed by students several years ago.
"Their design seamlessly integrated the library logo and color palette with the practical elements the staff asked for in the design prospectus," Lanka said. "The work is efficiently designed with a very clean look."
According to Markgraf, response about the new desk has been very positive.
"We can't count the number of people who stop by to look at the desk and comment on how much they like it," Markgraf said. "We have posted photos on the McIntyre Library and personal Facebook pages and have received rave reviews from friends, colleagues and alumni across the globe."

Mrs. Phillips is a 91-year-old hospitalized patient who is now actively dying due to end-stage pulmonary fibrosis and asbestosis. She has been well palliated during the last several months at home where she lived independently, until she developed a pneumonia and was hospitalized. Her home medications had not been adjusted in over six weeks. This included: albuterol and atropine nebulizers, dexamethasone 2mg every morning, 25mcg/hour fentanyl patch for dyspnea, oxycodone concentrate (20mg/ml) 10mg q2 hours prn dyspnea or pain, senna and Colace. She is on day 7 of oral antibiotics for presumed pneumonia. She is on oxygen 6 liters via nasal cannula. Her last bowel movement was yesterday, and her urine output has been good (250ml or more daily.)
Yesterday she was still oriented, between periods of increasing fatigue and sleep. She showed signs of mottling and new secretions causing respiratory rattle. A scopolamine patch 1.5mg was started for her increased secretions.
You are called by the resident who explains to you that this morning Mrs. Phillips is now agitated, moaning, and even thrashing at times. This is causing family and floor nurses distress. He asks you for advice.
Which of the following is appropriate?
Discussion: Correct answer is (a)
Delirium is a common condition at the end-of-life. It often is considered "terminal" even if reversible, however. Terminal delirium should be considered a diagnosis of exclusion or even one made in hindsight. While conducting a battery of exhaustive tests to evaluate the cause is not usually appropriate or necessary, causes of delirium should be addressed if possible. The most common causes of delirium in this setting remain constipation, urinary retention, medications, infection, electrolyte abnormalities. Constipation, urinary retention can be ruled out in this patient.
