411-02 Ground Transportation
Fiscal Operations Manual
Section 411: Travel
Effective: 02/01/1982
Revised: 9/27/2013
Vehicle rental expenses may be reimbursed. Vehicles may be rented only when it is the most economical/efficient means of transportation. Receipts are required for vehicle rentals. Travelers should consider renting vehicles from the OSU Motor Pool. Rental cars may be used in conjunction with travel by common carrier when use is reasonable and authorized in advance.
University travelers will rent compact or economy cars whenever possible. The rental of SUVs and luxury vehicles is not allowed. If you receive an upgrade because other vehicles are not available, have the rental car agency make a notation on the rental agreement that the vehicle rented was the only one available and that you paid the rate for the lower cost vehicle.
Due to the number of University Travelers on a single itinerary, it may be economical to rent a van for transportation purposes. Keep in mind that OSU does not permit the use of 15 passenger vans due to safety advisories published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Employees are encouraged to use the State of Oregon Contracts for rental cars. The contracts with Enterprise Rent-a-Car, National Car Rental, and Hertz Car Rental include insurance coverage. For this reason, collision damage insurance (sometimes referred to as CDW or LDW), personal accident insurance (PAI), and liability insurance supplement (LIS) should be declined and are not a reimbursable expense.
Employees not using the State of Oregon contract with Enterprise Rent-a-Car, National Car Rental, or Hertz Car Rental must purchase limited collision damage insurance to cover loss or damage to the vehicle. If a rented vehicle is damaged, and the OSU employee declined the CDW/LDW, the deductible doubles from $2,500 to $5,000 and Risk Management will only cover the amount in excess of that value. Personal accident insurance (PAI) and liability insurance supplement (LIS/SLI) should be declined. These are not a reimbursable expense.
While the University's insurance will cover the cost of damage to a rental car, the person (or Unit) renting the vehicle will be responsible for any applicable deductible.
The state's automobile insurance coverage is valid only in the United States, its possessions, territories and Canada. If it is necessary for the traveler to have a rental vehicle in a foreign country (especially Mexico), OSU recommends contacting Risk Management at least two weeks in advance of the travel so they can arrange any specific insurance for the foreign country and purchasing the insurances available (including SLI and CDW).
When a rented vehicle is damaged in an accident and CDW insurance has not been purchased, the rental agency may require payment of the deductible even when a third party is at fault. The employee should first explain that the university is self-insured through the State of Oregon, and the State Insurance Fund will cover damages up to the deductible amount.
If the rental agency still requires payment, the employee may charge the cost of damages to the OSU Travel Card or to a personal credit card and file for reimbursement. The employee should notify the OSU Risk Management Office as soon as possible and provide related information.
The renter of a car has all normal and some special responsibilities after an accident. Most fall into two areas: data collection and accident reports. The individual should collect and record all pertinent data relating to the accident such as:
- Time and place of the accident
- Traffic and weather conditions
- Circumstances contributing to the accident
- If another vehicle is involved, the driver's name, address, driver's license number, insurance company and policy number
- Name, address and telephone number of any witness
- Investigating police officer's name
- Description of damage to all vehicles involved
- Name and phone number of the rental car company claims agent
The driver should promptly report the accident to all concerned parties, including:
- Local police
- Local or state authority for accident reporting (e.g. Department of Motor Vehicles in Oregon)
- Rental car company, and
- OSU Risk Management Office
Failure to report an accident may void all protection from the company's insurance. The accident must be reported to the OSU Risk Management Office within 60 days to avoid loss of coverage. The OSU Risk Management Office will report the accident to the State of Oregon, Department of Administrative Services Risk Management Division (RMD).
The driver must keep a copy of all pertinent information and provide copies to the OSU Risk Management Office to assist in settling a claim. This includes all data collected, accident reports, repair estimates, and a receipt for any payment made.
When non-employees (seminar speakers, interviewees, etc.) are invited to OSU and a car rental is anticipated, they are personally responsible for the costs. It must be made clear to the traveler that they ARE NOT COVERED by OSU/State Insurance and they should check with their own insurance company to determine their rental vehicle coverage. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW or LDW) is reimbursable, if purchased.
- The traveler should determine if they have a credit card that will pay the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) insurance.
- The traveler should check with their own insurance company to see if they are covered when driving rental vehicles.
- If either of the above does not apply, it is strongly encouraged that the applicable unit tells the non-employee traveler to take out the CDW insurance. It will be reimbursed.
With prior OSU budget authority permission, at no additional cost to the University, and at their own risk or the personal risk of the driver, an employee's family member may ride in "state" vehicles (owned or rented), per OAR 125-155-0420. When there is mixed use (business & personal) for a rental vehicle; it is the employee's personal responsibility to pay for adequate insurance which will not be reimbursed.
Private Vehicles - Travel including business trips in the vicinity of the official station may be authorized in advance subject to campus guidelines. An employee carrying passengers while using a private vehicle for business travel must comply with campus rules. Employees and agents may be authorized to use their privately owned vehicles for official business when it benefits the campus. Expense reimbursement is for use of the vehicle regardless of the number of passengers.
Mileage for the most direct, usually traveled route may be reimbursable at the current published OUS rate. Use the Oregon Mileage Chart within the OUS Fiscal Policy Manual, Travel and Transportation Administration and Expenses 95.100, or actual odometer readings. Out-of-route miles must be justified. Mileage must be from official work station or their home, whichever is less. Travelers may not claim commute mileage from home to official work station as part of their mileage reimbursement request.
If the traveler needs to claim vicinity miles, show the vicinity miles as a separate line item for the location on the reimbursement request form. Private vehicle mileage is reimbursed at the current published OUS rate.
Employees and agents authorized to use their private vehicles for official business are required to have personal automobile liability insurance to provide the primary coverage for any accidents involving that vehicle. State-provided automobile liability coverage will apply on a limited basis after the employee's primary coverage limits have been used. The state does not provide physical damage, uninsured motorist and personal injury protection for private vehicles. State coverage does not apply when the vehicle is used outside the scope and course of employment, such as during vacation time taken in conjunction with a business trip. For additional information, contact Risk Management.
Only authorized passengers may ride in a state-owned vehicle. This includes any vehicle rented through the OSU Motor Pool. See the Motor Pool Policy Manual MPL 201 Authorized Drivers & Passengers for these guidelines.
Transportation by common carrier is recommended when it is more appropriate and economical than travel by state or private vehicle. Fares may be reimbursed or billed to the unit for travel.
Airport shuttle companies in Corvallis make several trips per day to and from the Portland International Airport or the Eugene Airport. This can be a very cost effective way of getting to and from the airport because it eliminates the need to pay mileage reimbursement and airport parking. Scheduled or charter buses may be used. Charter buses are primarily used for team travel.
Trains can be used if justification is provided that it is the most suitable and economical mode of transportation. Coach accommodations should be booked whenever possible. When booking Amtrak tickets through a contracted travel agent, the agent may charge a fee which is paid directly by OSU. A roomette is allowed if special accommodations are approved because of the trip's nature or the traveler's health. A bedroom is allowed if no roomette is available.
The use of taxi service, shuttles, ferries and mass transit may be reimbursable. Airport bus service to and from terminals is also reimbursable.

My early up-close-and-personal experience with Alzheimer's was when my mother-in-law Bea Lerner called at 3am to complain about a strange man in her house. My wife and life-partner, Trish, and I immediately went there to find only one man in the house, her husband. When asked about a strange man, Bea pulled us aside and carefully pointed to her husband, saying "that's the strange man, he's nice but I don't know him". After that, the powerful pull of the Alzheimer's downward spiraling trajectory never let up.
My Mother was larger than life. She embraced life with style and grace and passion. She was a fashion plate. She wore drop-dead hats with her signature pearls and had the glide of a woman who had won every dance contest. She could capture a room just by entering it.
My maternal grandmother, an ordained minister in the Congregational Church, died of Alzheimer's in 1976. She was 77 when she died. My father died of Alzheimer's in 2010. He was 85. This picture is of my dad with my daughters in March 2010. He died from the complications of Alzheimer's on October 31, 2010. He was a physician, a passionate supporter of opera, sang in the choir, read voraciously, loved telling stories, gardening, eating, singing, dancing, scuba diving, movies, and traveling.

Do any of these medications have adverse effects on the liver?
- Q: Do any of these medications have adverse effects on the liver?
- A: Ambien (zolpidem) belongs to a class of drugs called the sedative hypnotics. It is used to treat sleep problems or insomnia. According to the prescribing information for Ambien, abnormal liver function tests can occur in patients taking this medication. The incidence is between 0.1% (1 in 1,000 patients) and 1% (1 in 100 patients). This would be considered a rare or infrequent side effect. OxyContin (oxycodone) is a narcotic analgesic or pain reliever. It is used to treat moderate to severe pain. Like Ambien, the prescribing information for OxyContin lists abnormal liver function tests as a rare or infrequent effect. Lyrica (pregabalin) is an anticonvulsant or anti-seizure medication. It is used primarily to treat seizures and certain types of nerve pain. Changes in liver enzymes is rare with this medication. Cymbalta (duloxetine) is an antidepressant that belongs to a class of drugs called the selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs). It is used primarily used to treat depression, but can be used for other conditions. Liver problems are more common with Cymbalta than the other drugs listed. Contact your doctor if you experience any symptoms of liver problems, such as nausea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, low fever, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). There are a variety of over-the-counter (OTC) treatments for mild or occasional constipation. These include stool softeners, fiber products, laxatives, enemas, and suppositories. The choice depends largely on personal preference and how uncomfortable the constipation is. There are also lifestyle changes that can help, including eating fiber-rich foods, drinking plenty of water, and getting as much physical activity as is possible for you. Always read and follow the complete directions and warnings on OTC medicines and discuss their use with your doctor before taking them. Consult your doctor for severe or persistent constipation.

My friend Brittany has taken the digital-DIY-world by the horns. This fall she started her own company called HelloBrit and now she's working to be a brunette Martha Stewart for a younger generation.
Brit let me make a pizza with her recently and it was a blast -- Now I know how to properly use a food processor and not hurt myself. Watch the Brit and Brett circus HERE.
You may not love/retweet/pin everything she posts, but I think you should respect a woman who is trying to do her own thing AND do it really well at the same time. It takes a ton of work to do-it-yourself everything and thus far Brit is crushing it.

Disney Princess Opinion Article
Princesslullaby's Response to the Best Role Model Countdown (Part 1)
Original article here.
This will be a little different from the other princesses, because I do think the reasons stated for Ariel have a lot of merit. The fact was, she was being stubborn, irresponsible, selfish, and put her entire kingdom in danger. However, I would like to point out that when Disney created her, they weren't exactly thinking "Let's make the worst role model possible, who girls should never model themselves after!" So, from someone who thinks Ariel is a wonderful role model, I want to point out the view I think Disney intended us to see. It's about striving for your beliefs, breaking boundaries, and saying that it's OKAY to make mistakes. A couple people pointed out that she wasn't succesful in the end, but I don't think that was the point. The point was for her to learn to take risks and chances, and honestly I think if Ariel new she was going to fail she would still trade her voice anyway, for her chance to live her dream. By the way, it's how I would act- If someone let me live my dream for a day, but then I would have a miserable life, I would do it. Because life is too short. But this assertion isn't factual, so I'm not too upset about what people had to say about Ariel, as long as they understand Disney didn't intend it that way.
One thing that really pissed me off was everyone's criticisms that she talked to Phillip. One user wrote: She disobeys an order (which was for her own well-being) and talked to Philip, a stranger. Yet I see VERY little comment about how Pocahontas talked to John Smith, who she had been previously warned NOT to talk to, because he could be dangerous. Not to mention he pointed a gun at her, and all Phillip did was dance with Aurora. Then, no one bothers to comment while she was immediately swept away by Phillip, she remembered her Aunt's warnings and ran from Phillip. But as he is her "true love" (you have to be willing to buy into Disney's true love application to understand Aurora) she's smart enough to invite him back to the cottage instead of meeting him in the woods again. People also criticize Aurora for being obedient. With the high amount of disobedient, risk-taking princesses, it's nice to see one who is obedient. There's nothing wrong with playing it safe. Aurora didn't exactly have a bad life, she had no reason to disobey her Aunts and run away from home. I wouldn't have criticized her if she did (that would have just been hypocritical with all the good points I see about Ariel running away) DEPENDING on what she ran away for. Regardless, I do think her going to the kingdom instead of waiting for Phillip was NOT a matter of responsibility or duty- I truly think it was lack of backbone.
I was genuinely surprised and furious that Jasmine was this low. I'm going to reiterate what I wrote on the wall. One time on here (this section), I made a pick asking if everyone would rather have freedom or riches. About 95% of you choose freedom. But then you criticize Jasmine for leaving her rich lifestyle...FOR FREEDOM.So apparently if you're not already rich, it's okay to pick freedom over riches. But if you're already rich, you can't leave your rich lifestyle for any dreams because THAT'S being ungrateful. Then people called Jasmine mean. Why? When was she ever mean? Because she has a temper? I don't see it as a temper, I see it for standing up for what she believes in. She has no choice but to do it in a loud, aggressive fashion- what is she supposed to say? "I quite disagree with your argument that I should be forced to marry someone I don't love, would you like to debate it further? Mmm, yes, quite quite" NO. In her society, no one would take her seriously if she tried to explain in a calm, intelligent manner. One thing I've always wondered is that after she is brought back to the palace, why doesn't she try to leave again? Does she give up that easily? But then I thought, she probably feels really guilty about Aladdin's "death" (which she thinks she caused), so I honestly think that's why she didn't leave right away. Or maybe she realizes she is incapable of caring for herself so she decides to wait until she is more prepared. I'm not just making excuses, it really seems like that's the likely probability. Realizing that makes me love her even more. This ranking on the countdown was utter nonsense and I'm really embarrassed for everyone who voted her this low.
7.Snow White
Mostly I agree with everyone that she isn't the strongest role model because she really doesn't do anything. However, there are some things I'd like to point out.
#1- Everyone criticizes Snow White for going into the dwarf's cottage. However, she had just been told her stepmother wanted to kill her and needed a safe place to stay. I don't blame her for hiding out in that house. I bet you any amount of money if in the movie she had ignored the house and kept searching around, a LOT of you users would be saying she's stupid for still wandering around the woods where the Queen could be, and she should've hid in the house.
#2- Everyone criticizes Snow White for taking the apple from the old lady. She's 14 years old, give her a break for still being a bit of a dreamer. Another thing is, the damn wishing well worked, so why shouldn't the apple? And also, let me use Pocahontas as an example again: Hardly anyone criticized her for getting out of the boat to talk to John Smith literally ONE MINUTE after he tries to shoot her! I know she may not know that it's a gun, but she has to realize from his stance that he wasn't being friendly. (I'm sorry to keep using Pocahontas as an example, but you'll see later on in the article she's not the only one I use as a parallel against Snow White. I, in fact, adore Pocahontas so it doesn't even matter.) If you had a choice, would you rather eat an apple from an old lady (THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WAS EVIL) or go talk to a man who had just tried to shoot you? Anyone with a brain would take the apple.
#3- She is the one princess, who, after losing her prince, doesn't sit around and mope. She keeps a positive attitude and waits for him to come back without depending on him for her happiness, which is REALLY unique for a disney princess.
That being said, I think she is one of the lesser role models.
How is Rapunzel and better than Ariel, let alone Jasmine? This ranking I really didn't understand. She had been taught all her life that the outside world was a dangerous place, she would die, everyone is really mean and selfish. So she goes off with the first man she sees to go see some lights in the sky. To me, that was an equally stupid move as Ariel's, if not stupider and worth less. Jasmine left the palace for freedom, and she had never been taught to not leave the palace because it's dangerous, only that it was too low class. Rapunzel leaves with a strange man to go see lights in the sky, which wasn't even life-changing.. Jasmine was at least leaving to make a difference in her life. Ariel was at least leaving to make a difference in her life. Rapunzel was only going to see lanterns in the sky, and then return back to her old life. She was willing to risk all this for a dream that didn't even change her situtation. This ranking was absolutely baffling to me! I understand she goes through growth and chooses not to come back, she has good qualities too, like she thinks on her feet and cares about others, but she takes a lot of risks that put other's lives in danger, people she's barely met, for something that's not even worth that much in reality. Not to mention she steals Flynn's stuff and blackmails him into taking her places. And that scene where Gothel yells at Rapunzel, she immediately backs down and doesn't try to prove herself, I mean I know what Gothel said was cruel, but apparently it doesn't even matter because Rapunzel chose to do it all behind Gothel's (her mother'S) back anyway. It would have been as simple as just opening the armoire door. I don't know if that would have made Rapunzel's situation better (probably not) but Rapunzel doesn't know that. I promise I'm not being biased, if Jasmine had been ranked higher I wouldn't be so confused at this ranking. In my opinion, Rapunzel should be low on the role model list, if not the lowest. At least Ariel shows that it's okay to make mistakes, as long as you keep trying. And at least Ariel's goal was life-changing and makes a difference (whether or not you agree she should do change her life is irrelevant), but Rapunzel's is just to see some floating lamps. It's not even worth risking her life for. And I do know that it was Rapunzel's "dream" to see the lights and what they meant, but in reality it's just not worth it. Oh, and I realize Ariel going to Ursula is semi the equivalent of Rapunzel going off with Flynn- the difference is Ariel knew Ursula was evil and was doing it as an act of angry rebellion, Rapunzel was just being stupid (not angry, as you can see when she leaves the tower she's conflicted, if she was blindly angry like Ariel she wouldn't have been). By the way, that scene really annoys me, of Rapunzel being conflicted, it further proves to me that she is a bad role model. At least if you're going to risk your life to have a dream, stick by it, don't start second guessing yourself two seconds later. Don't leave unless you're absolutely sure.
PART 2 to come later

I have a question about the recipe "Raspberry Custard Cups" from SLD. Congrats on the win! I know the theme was raspberries, but my blackberry plants are out of control; could I substitute those for the raspberries? Thanks.
hardlikearmour is a trusted home cook.
I don't see why not. I think blackberries are a bit sweeter than raspberries, so I'd consider cutting the sugar a bit (or not depending on your sweet tooth!)
Thank You.
Somebody commented that they replaced the raspberries with blackberries and cherries and they turned out good. Either way, you can't go wrong with just-picked berries!

I'm going to try them with blueberries. Stay tuned . . . . .;o)

The redoubtable Morgan Freeman returns as Washington, DC police detective Alex Cross, the master profiler, in an exciting thriller based on James Patterson's novel, ALONG CAME A SPIDER. The film is actually a prequel to the box office blockbuster KISS THE GIRLS. Here, Cross is pursuing a brilliantly twisted kidnapper who's holding the daughter of a U.S. senator. When the kidnapper, Gary Soneji (the effectively sinister character actor, Michael Wincott), who had posed as a schoolteacher for two years before making his move, contacts Cross and taunts him, but makes no demands for money, Cross starts to piece together a psychological profile. With the help of a clever and beautiful Secret Service agent, Jezzie Flannigan (Monica Potter), Cross begins his investigation of the bizarrely elaborate and ruthless crime. But as is usual with Patterson's work, just when Cross (and the audience) thinks everything is resolved, a stunning twist unfolds.

Nanotechnology: Promises and challenges for tomorrow
Nanotechnology: Promises and challenges for tomorrow Nanotechnology is based on the ability to create and utilize materials, devices and systems through control of the matter at the nanometer scale. If successful, nanotechnology is expected to lead to broad new technological developments. The efficiency of energy conversion can be increased through the use of nanostructured materials with enhanced magnetic, light emission or wear resistant properties. Energy generation using nanostructured photovoltaics or nanocluster driven photocatalysis could fundamentally change the economic viability of renewable energy sources. In addition, the ability to imitate molecular processes found in living organisms may be key to developing highly sensitive and discriminating chemical and biological sensors. Such sensors could greatly expand the range of medical home testing as well as provide new technologies to counter the spread of chemical and biological weapons. Even the production of chemicals and materials could be revolutionized through the development of molecular reactors that can promote low energy chemical pathways for materials synthesis. Although nanotechnologies hold great promise, significant scientific challenges must be addressed before they can convert that promise into a reality. A key challenge in nanoscience is to understand how nano-scale tailoring of materials can lead to novel and enhanced functions. The authors' laboratory, for example, is more »

L&D - advocating for patients - page 2
Question for L&D nurses... Do you see a trend in your facility to pressure laboring women into inducing/augmenting labor (eg, with pit) when the situation may not merit this recommendation? If so, what types of... Read More
- 0Jul 22, '11 by adpiRN, BSN, RNNot, it's not harmful. (at least not that they know of!). Though I've heard some say it causes issues with milk production, but I don't work postpartum not sure about that.
It CAN cause fetal distress if it works TOO well and causes lots of strong contractions. But in that case it can be turned off and rapidly resolves. In rare cases you can have a c/s for fetal distress from pitocin.
To the OP - epidurals can slow down labor especially if given too early, before a regular labor pattern is established. Doctors actually advise women who are in early labor, contracting irregularly and less than 3cm dilated to go back home or go walking.
But sometimes they BEG to stay so they can get the epidural, they don't care if that means they may need pit too.
- 1Jul 22, '11 by Elvish GuideBut I guess what I'm saying is that if a woman is having an effectual progressing labor pattern, reassuring fetal heart rate tracings (no late or excessive variable decels), she's not post-term, no PROM, no evidence of chorio, no Rh-isoimmunization, no pregnancy-induced HTN, etc., I think she should question an MD's advice to AROM or to induce/augment.
When I got to the hospital in labor with my daughter back in May, I was 3.5cm/90/-2. The doc wanted to AROM and I refused. I don't think he was happy, but he never really set foot in the door at that point, and my nurse also happened to be my friend and was more than happy to run interference for me. I progressed from 3.5 to 9 in 90 minutes without the first whiff of Pit, and at 9 I SROMed. My daughter didn't start to descend until I started pushing and had he ruptured me earlier, who knows where her cord would have been. Everything might have been hunky dory, it probably would've been, who knows, but all the same I'm glad I refused. And I'm glad my nurse backed me up on it.
- 0Jul 23, '11 by melmarie23Quote from adpiRNthere are studies out there that show that synthetic oxytocin (Pit) decreases the amount of oxytocin released by infant suckling on day 2, however it may cause increases in prolactin. What results is an increase in milk production, but not in milk letdown/ejection, so mom may end up extremely engorged.Not, it's not harmful. (at least not that they know of!). Though I've heard some say it causes issues with milk production, but I don't work postpartum not sure about that.
- 1Aug 31, '11 by suezan59I'm on the postpartum side so I don't know many of the individual reasons for some inductions, but I do know that there seem to be more when certain MDs are planning to go on vacation - a disproportionate amount of their 37/38 weekers will be sitting over on L&D at 1-2 cm dilation hooked up to pit a week before they are supposed to leave... Coincidence???
I had one postpartum mom who said that she had tripped up the stairs and "bumped" her belly (in addition to scraping her knee), so she came in to be checked just in case it hurt the baby. The baby was fine, but the doctor said that since she was already at the hospital and 37 weeks along, why don't they just go ahead and induce her??
- 0Aug 31, '11 by MKS8806I can agree that sometimes it is a logistics thing - whether for the physician or the patient. However, where I work, we have had many patient's say "no, I don't want you to break my water" or "no, I don't want pitocin, or fluids, or an IV for that matter!" Our doctors are very good about honoring the patient's requests. We've had patients that have been induced, and not progressing. Her water was broke at 11am and she went all afternoon and into the evening without making change. We had an IUPC in place and her contractions were measuring adequate. Baby was tolerating everything fine, but was not decending. So, the patient began asking questions...."what happens if the baby doesn't come down?" "what if I don't progress?" The doctor was very good about telling her the options that were available to her and reassured her that as long as the baby was tolerating everything ok, a c-section did not have to be done, theoretically until the next morning. The patient was given the power to say when she wanted to call it quits. We've also had failed inductions, that, instead of breaking their water, they've shut off the pit and sent them home.
Don't get me wrong, we have also had the 36 weeker's water broke because she was not progressing in natural labor. We were all SHOCKED that the doctor did that. It was more of a benefit to him for the patient to deliver - she was coming in weekly with complaints of "contractions." But for the most part, I think our doctors try to honor the patient's plans for their birth if medically appropriate.
As for the question on if pit is dangerous. I haven't heard that (except in the instance that baby doesn't tolerate it, as mentioned above.) But I do know that you only have so many pit receptors in the body and dumping pit post partum is only so effective - so I've heard - because no matter how much pit you are dumping, you only have so many receptors. Our lactation consultants would rather put the baby to breast and allow the body's natural oxytocin to do the work instead of dumping in our artificial pit.
- 0Sep 1, '11 by ischialspinesI don't like the idea of pitting an unripe cervix without an apparent medical reason (even though we now wait til 39 weeks), but by the time the pt has come to me, her decision has been made and she has made the plan with her doctor and showed up for her induction. I have had a pt decide to go home and not be induced after she showed up, but the vast majority have probably been waiting for the induction for some time. I don't have access to my pts prenatally! When they get to me, my job is to support her decision (being a pt advocate) unless she specifically tells me she does not want to proceed. The MD has to come in and assess the pt before the pit can be started, so she does have the opportunity to discuss it one last time (of course we could stop if not ROM'd as well in theory).
As for augmenting, if she has an epidural, delivery is going to probably be expedited and that is probably what the pt wants. I might be slow to start/increase pit or just leave it at 1-2 mu/min if it is ordered but pt is making cervical change and trying for no meds Pit can definitely stress out baby and also the receptors get saturated and then - when we need it for PPH it doesn't work (but thank goodness we have other meds). But pit also has a short half life so stopping the pit can usually stop fetal distress.
- 0Sep 1, '11 by AJPVThanks for the great replies! I'm definitely NOT in the camp that insists on "all natural" or else you have failed to be a good mom! I have a friend who insisted on having a VBAC against medical advice. She acted like she won an Olympic gold medal for proving those "idiot doctors" wrong. And now she "advises" all women who have had a C-section to have subsequent VBACs - without knowing anything about the other women and without any medical training! Makes me sick. Oh, and her VBAC resulted in a trip to the NICU!
On the other hand, I do want to empower women to ask the right questions when there doesn't appear to be medical merit for early induction - or augmentation when labor is progressing perfectly fine and the woman doesn't want augmentation.

New York Fashion Week has descended upon us and, despite Nemo wreaking snowy havoc on New York, the show persevered as people flocked in their fashion week best to ogle the breathtaking designs. From leather to black & white to slit skirts, the runway was all about overarching trends. Jason Wu gave us fur while Cushnie et Ochs showed off breathtaking fitted cut-out pieces (the opposite of Sally LaPointe's flowing creations). The Creatures of the Wind collection was all about dazzling patterns and masculine shapes, while BCBG was all about the long skirts and dresses—and is also one of my favorite collections I've seen thus far.
There is something for everybody at NYFW. Check out the gallery for my favorite highlights!

Decisions, Decisions
Here are some examples in my lifetime that shaped my decision-making:
* I watched my dad reject a huge promotion at Ford Motor Company because it required the family to move, and he didn't want to do that to his wife and kids who were happy where they were. His decision was about priorities and character.
* I saw my dad and uncle break up a fight when two guys were robbing another in a parking lot of a department store. They decided not to look the other way.
* I recall the look on an aging professor's face when I saw him after class and told him he had inspired me. That decision was about coming forward. Years later I received a letter from him, telling me that my visit had encouraged him to stay at the university another five years until he reached his full retirement. I learned that not holding back and telling someone how you really feel is always a good decision.
* In speaking with a friend who had been diagnosed with cancer, I created a story about someone who had gone through the same malady years before and was now fine. My friend believed me, and it gave him hope when he had little else. He has fully recovered. My decision to lie was the only device I could come up with to alleviate his depression, and I learned that sometimes a little deception may be excused.
* I watched my mother take the time to treat every person she met with the same grace and interest. As a piano teacher, music director and church organist, she was constantly listening as people went on and on about how they always wanted to play the piano. She would smile week after week, lesson after lesson, and then eventually mention that the students should begin to evaluate their progress and decide if that was something they really wanted to pursue. By then they were usually so frustrated they gladly accepted her nudge and quit altogether. The finesse of creating and building the case before delivering the final closing argument was not lost on me, and it too is one of the sharpest tools in my box. Leading people to make their own decisions has much more staying power than telling them what to do (or not to do).
Being a life observer, I guess there is no one example that is greater than any other, but my point is that every moment of life involves decisions, and the art of decision-making can only come from the very core of what you hold dear and who you are. As decisions are made about you, your reaction to them determines the maturity with how you navigate your life.
Much like my mom letting students discover their own skill level or lack thereof, you now stand at a crossroad to review the life you have led, which is the sum of all the decisions you have made, and decide if those brought you to a good place or one that needs adjustment. If the answer is the latter, your next decision may be the biggest of your life.

Comments about Regalo My Cot Portable Toddler Bed:
I read many review on this and purchased two from a local retailer for less than $25 each. I reccomend them, my kids (2&3) love them. We also purchased an $11 foam mattress topper and cut it in half to use under the sheet for some added comfort. I would shop locally for this and save yourself $10 plus shipping costs. Also, you can check for a sticker under the UPC to ensure you are purchasing one with a manufacture date of 2012. The ones manufactured in 2010 and early 2011 had a strap sewn down the center that made them much more uncomfortable. Our local retailer let us exchange our older one for the newer one without the center strap.
We own the pink & blue models and the kids adore them both. We haven't been able to put them away since we purchased them, which is great because they will be spending a week sleeping on them when we go on vacation next month.

Celebrate International Dance Day with Dance Parade!
Sunday, April 28, 2013
Dixon Place
161A Chrystie Street – New York, NY 10002
Each year Dance Parade hosts a FUN-raiser on International Dance Day that both raises the awareness of dance in general, and the necessary funds for the annual Parade, and its culminating Festival at Tompkins Square Park. Dixon Place will once again host this year's event on Sunday, April 28, 2013, from 6PM to 9PM.
Guests attending this event will enjoy drinks, hors d'oeuvres and live entertainment that reflects the diversity of age, ethnicity and genre to be found among dancers in the tri-state area. The featured event highlights dance groups who have registered for the upcoming parade and allows event guests a preview of what is to come as the quintessential "taste of Dance Parade". On April 29, these performances will include dancers from 8 to nearly 80, representing troupes who dance in forms originating on five different continents and various islands. Please join us in celebrating this momentous occasion.
In 1982 the Dance Committee of the ITI founded International Dance Day to be celebrated every year on the 29th April, anniversary of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), the creator of modern ballet. The intention of the «International Dance Day Message» is to celebrate Dance, to revel in the universality of this art form, to cross all political, cultural and ethnic barriers and bring people together with a common language – Dance.
Every year a message from an outstanding choreographer or dancer is circulated throughout the world. The personality is selected by the founding entity of the International Dance Day – the International Dance Committee of the ITI, which collaborates with World Dance Alliance, a Cooperating Member of the ITI.
Together with the World Dance Alliance, ITI and its Dance Committee celebrate International Dance Day at UNESCO in Paris.

Re: Can you recommend formulas for calculating power consumption?16 March 2009 at 1:29pm
This is not an easy question and is really for a "bearings" person. Most of the power is taken up in the friction of the shaft on the bearings. There are three that consume most of the power:
• Thrust – caused by the torque of the material;
• Pilot – main support near the motor;
• Support – those bearings that are in contact with the material.
If the conveyor is less than one-third full (recommended design), there is little added power from moving the material unless the solids are pinched between the blade and wall. That later value must be determined experimentally. Power goes up significantly when the conveyor is over half full. The pulverizer is really an experimental value. I don't know much about bearings and rely on the suppliers to suggest the motor size.

Most trouble free computer
Getting a new laptop in the next month or so and giving my Dell to a family member. Just wondering what notebook is the most reliable. There are some good prices out there on Acer and HP but not sure of the these units are reliable compared to my 3 year old dell.
25th October 2008, 03:07 PM #2
Re: Most trouble free computer
well, in my opinion, a "simple" dell (inspiron or the new studio line) still takes the crown for reliability. plus, if something does go wrong, dell has a very good customer/tech service. i'm not a big fan of the acers because i've toyed around with a few in a various local shops, and they all feel/look enormously plasticky to me.

Re: Most trouble free computer
I really think "trouble free" is highly dependent on the user, esp software wise.
For example I know that no laptop would be "trouble free" in the hands of my family members who still use AOL!!
Hardware wise, Lenovo's are pretty solid, not to pretty, definitely function over form.
What do you plan on doing with it?
Most of all it should be noted that one person's experience with a one particular company can differ greatly than another's.

Re: Most trouble free computer
I just use it for the internet, email, photo's etc. The dell inspiron 6400 I have now has been great. Had a battery replaced under warranty and that is it. Just wondering if if maybe Toshiba or Sony might be a little better build. Thanks all for your help.

The Senate's longest-serving member, Senator Robert Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, died on June 28, 2010.
There are only a few conversations in the White House tapes in which Byrd was a participant, some of which are below.
Byrd tries to get LBJ's support for a Medicare amendment to lower the voluntary retirement age to 60. LBJ tells Byrd that he hasn't looked at the merits of the proposal but that "
All I know is I love you, and you're just cooking up so damn much business. I didn't know you were that young and active. I thought when you got your license to practice law that you'd just quit rewriting all the laws, and just sit down and kind of whittle and love your friends. But every time I pick up the paper you've had some other victory of some kind."
Nixon expresses his appreciation for Byrd's public support for Nixon's troop withdrawal plans.

Artificial Rain: The Cost of Irrigation
3:56 minutes (3.6 MB) Download
Local farmers faced a month-long drought. High temperatures and dry ground have put crop yield into question. Irrigation systems have been implemented to aid many fields where crops like corn are in the prime of their growing season. It's a process of fueling crops' growth by keeping diesel pumps churning water to the fields.

NATURE MEDICINE EMBARGO for 2 p.m. EDT Sunday, August 18,2002
Moores UCSD Cancer Center Researchers
Identify Potent Angiogenesis Inhibitor
Researchers with the Rebecca and John Moores UCSD Cancer Center have identified a potent angiogenesis inhibitor, a naturally occurring hormone called parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP), which is produced in great quantities by some cancers.
Angiogenesis, the process by which the body forms new blood vessels, is essential to the growth and spread (metastasis) of cancer. The new blood vessels feed the cancer cells with oxygen and nutrients, allowing these cells to grow, invade nearby tissue, spread to other parts of the body, and form new colonies of cancer cells. Angiogenesis also plays a role in rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and some eye diseases; and in normal processes such as wound healing and ovulation.
In the study published online August 19 by the journal Nature Medicine, the researchers show that PTHrP inhibits endothelial cell migration, angiogenesis and tumor formation. More importantly, they have identified the way it works, which is by activating protein kinase A (PKA). Protein kinases are regulatory proteins that are responsible for cellular activities such as cell proliferation and migration.
Senior author Judith Varner, Ph.D. (center), with two co-authors from her laboratory, Manjiri Bakre, Ph.D., and staff research associate Yuhong Zhu.
"We've identified a key kinase that, when activated, causes endothelial cells to commit suicide," said the paper's senior author Judith Varner, Ph.D., assistant adjunct professor of medicine with UCSD School of Medicine and member of the Moores UCSD Cancer Center. "But it only causes suicide in endothelial cells that are activated by tumors and other disease states. This mechanism doesn't become activated in normal blood vessels."
Understanding the underlying mechanism is important, Varner says, because it provides a road map that may lead to the development of new drug or gene therapies. In this paper, the researchers tested various methods of local delivery of PTHrP and PKA activation by drug or gene therapy to inhibit angiogenesis.
"We can activate PKA with a common drug called cyclic AMP, and we can also activate it through gene therapy," she said. "We are vigorously pursuing a gene therapy approach and possibly a drug therapy here, at UCSD."
The next step will be to develop a chemically synthesized particle or agent that will deliver the gene or drug only into proliferating endothelial cells. To do so, the researchers must target a receptor expressed only on proliferating endothelial cells and not in large quantities on normal, existing endothelial cells. To that end, Varner is working with a team of UCSD radiologists to develop a bioconjugate, also called a micro- or nano-particle.
"It may sound strange to be working with radiologists on gene therapy," Varner said. "But the same kinds of particles or bioconjugates used for imaging can be used to deliver a gene. You create a micro-particle, attach to it a molecule that will bind to a receptor on the target cell, and use it to deliver DNA directly into that cell. This is an emerging technology in gene therapy and in imaging."
In other work, Varner is collaborating with the same radiology team to develop a cancer-imaging agent designed to find and highlight tiny new tumors and allow clinicians to see metastases.
Besides Varner, co-authors are Manjiri Bakre, Ph.D., staff research associates Yuhong Zhu and Hong Yin, all of Moores UCSD Cancer Center; Doug W. Burton, research specialist with the San Diego Veterans Affairs Healthcare System; and Leonard J. Deftos, M.D., and Robert Terkeltaub, Ph.D., both of the UCSD Department of Medicine and the San Diego Veterans Affairs Healthcare System.
This work was supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute.

Several incidents involving trains hauling crude oil have prompted federal lawmakers to raise concerns about railroad safety.
(Published Feb 18, 2014)
A series of incidents related to trains carrying oil produced in North Dakota has prompted U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar and U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, both democrats from Minnesota, to raise concerns about railroad safety. Both lawmakers announced that hearings on the matter have been scheduled in their respective bodies.
In a letter, Sen. Klobuchar urged the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation to hold oversight hearings on the Federal Railroad Administration and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The first in what is expected to be a series of Senate hearings occurred on Feb. 13.
Rep. Walz, a member of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials, announced that the Subcommittee will hold a hearing to review rail safety standards on Feb. 26 at 2 p.m. ET. Rep. Walz joined several of his colleagues in sending a letter to Subcommittee Chairman Jeff Denham (R-CA) to request the Subcommittee hold such a hearing in order to evaluate safety standards, particularly for the transport of hazardous materials.
The incidents are related to trains hauling crude oil from western North Dakota. On Dec. 30, one of these trains derailed from a BNSF Railway track near Casselton, N.D. The resulting fire led to an evacuation of residents and a need for contamination mitigation. In July, a runaway oil train derailed and exploded in the center of the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic, killing 47 people. On Feb. 3, a Canadian Pacific train leaked about 12,000 gallons of crude oil from Red Wing, Minn., to south of Winona, Minn., about 70 miles.
Although state and local authority to regulate railroads is extremely limited, state leaders are very concerned about the risks associated with the crude oil trains passing through Minnesota. Gov. Dayton has begun the process of investigating whether the state needs to be more active in issues involving railroad safety.
On Feb. 12, House Transportation Finance Committee Chair Rep. Frank Hornstein (DFL-Minneapolis) and Senate Transportation and Public Safety Committee Chair Sen. Scott Dibble (DFL-Minneapolis) announced plans to introduce a bill that focuses on generating funds to help train for and respond to potential incidents. The legislation would impose a fee of one-one-hundredth of one cent per gallon of crude oil transported across Minnesota by rail or pipeline. A tanker car holds approximately 26,000 gallons of oil, meaning the cost would be $2.60 per tanker. There were no estimates available on what kind of revenue the proposal could generate.
The League will be closely monitoring state and federal developments on rail safety issues, and will be working to determine what kind of resources would be most helpful to cities.

State Fact Sheets: The Earned Income and Child Tax Credits
March 5, 2014
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for low- and moderate-income workers encourages and rewards work, offsets federal payroll and income taxes, and raises living standards. The Child Tax Credit (CTC) also helps low-income working families by offsetting part of the cost of child rearing. Next to Social Security, the EITC combined with the refundable portion of the CTC constitutes the nation's most powerful anti-poverty program.
These fact sheets provide state-by-state data on how the EITC and CTC reduce poverty, who benefits, how state EITCs can supplement the federal credit, and who benefits from two proposals to strengthen the credits.


text: Force India: Race pace is one of our strongest assets 5 July, 2014 Sergio Perez Nico Hulkenberg will line up on the second row of the grid for the team's local race at Silverstone with teammate Sergio Perez qualifying in seventh place. Nico Hulkenberg, VJM07-04: "That worked out really well for us and I'm very happy to come away with fourth place on the grid. On days like this you just need to be in the right place, with good timing and a little bit of luck. The track conditions were changing so much and at the end of Q3 – I've never seen a track dry so quickly. There were a few spots of rain in the middle of the session, but on my final lap it was completely dry. Fourth place sets us up nicely for tomorrow, but it's hard to know exactly where we stand in terms of race pace. We definitely made some progress with the car balance overnight with some tweaks and it was a lot less windy today, which worked in our favour. There is an interesting grid, which will hopefully make for an exciting race for the fans." Sergio Perez, VJM07-02: "Today leaves us with mixed feelings. It was very good to get both cars in Q3 and ahead of some of our most direct competitors. Had they offered us this result before the session, we would have been satisfied; however, it is also disappointing as we know that we could have had an even better result. We were in P3 up to the last lap, but when the track improved and I went out for a last run I ran a bit wide in turn 12 and lost all the temperature from my tyres. I also had to let some cars through and that made it a big problem for me. Otherwise I am confident we would have improved enough to stay in the front two rows. It's a shame because we were making the tyres work really well until that moment and we were making the most of the conditions. Still, it is a very positive result and we should have a good opportunity to convert it into a good race and a lot of points. Silverstone is a very difficult place to overtake and track position is very important, so I am confident in that respect." Dr Vijay Mallya, Team Principal & Managing Director: "Today we had a very good result, which is always very nice in our home race. We have placed both cars in Q3 in very difficult conditions, which is a great credit to both the team and our drivers: we were on the right tyre at the right time and we reaped the rewards of some good strategy calls. It is a shame Checo was not able to finish his second lap as we thought that he could retain his good position, but fourth row is still a very positive place to start and he has shown us before that he can make up positions come race day. Nico was impressive as he pulled a great lap when it mattered on a drying track. Starting fourth and seventh gives us a very good chance to score points and continue our battle in the constructors' championship. Race pace is one of our strongest assets so we can look forward to tomorrow with confidence."

Chiefs' CB Flowers takes step forward
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Sep 13 2012 4:48PM
Following Wednesday's practice report, the Kansas City Chiefs saw three defensive starters limited in the first session of the week. On Thursday, one took a definitive step forward in getting ready for the game.
Cornerback Brandon Flowers, who sat out of the team's Week One contest with a foot injury, practiced in full for the first time this week. Both he and reserve cornerback Jalil Brown made the jump up in the distinction.
As for the other two starters, nose tackle Anthony Toribio (ankle) and safety Kendrick Lewis (shoulder) were each limited participants for the second straight day. Defensive end Allen Bailey (ankle) was also limited in the session, and wide receiver Devon Wylie missed his second practice of the week.
The Chiefs will unveil the official game status for their injured players following practice on Friday. They clash with the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium Sunday at 1 pm.

The Toyota Crown is a line of mid-size luxury sedans by Toyota. The range is primarily available in Japan and some other Asian countries. Under the hood, the new Crown hybrid combines a rear-wheel drive THS II hybrid system with a 2GR-FSE D4-S 3.5-liter V6 engine (also used in the Lexus IS and GS 350) and a NiMH battery pack. The D4-S combines port and direct injection, with two injectors per cylinder—one injector installed in the combustion chamber and a second mounted in the intake port. Toyota says that the Crown Hybrid has the driving performance of a 4.5-liter vehicle with the low fuel consumption of a 2.0-liter vehicle. While being able to go from 0 to 100km/h in only 5.4s, the Crown Hybrid achieves a fuel efficiency of 14.0 km/l (33 mpg US or 7.1 L/100km) according to the newly introduced JC08 test cycle outlined by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT).
