$1500 to win for Winged Sprints Sat
Signature event "Rich Dozier Classic" on tap
Bob Burbach
Marysville CA - July 30, 2013
Next Saturday night August 3rd the 7th Annual Performance Auto Supply Rich Dozier Classic will be run at Paul and Kathy Hawes' Marysville Raceway Park. The race was postponed from its original date earlier this month due to weather. This year it is a signature event on the MRP Winged Sprint Car schedule. The feature event will pay $1500 in cash to win in that class. Rich Dozier's Performance Auto Supply will celebrate 45 years of support of Marysville Raceway Park. In addition the Legal Shield Quick Time Shootout will pay $100 for fast time at this event. The Richmond Gear bonus will be offered to the 2nd place finishers in both sprint car classes and the Contingency Connection Bonus program will offer some $1100 in additional bonuses to the winner. This annual celebration will also include a full program of MRP Wingless Sprint Cars, MRP Super Stocks and MRP Hobby Stocks.
Championship point leader Billy Wallace of Grass Valley in Mark Moore's Sprinter will be gunning for the rich 1st place prize as will fellow Grass Valley resident Jeremy Burt in his GEICO Sprinter. Also in the field will be comeback sensation of the decade and easily one of the most popular sprint car drivers ever at MRP, fan favorite Mike Monahan out of Sparks, Nevada in his sparkling blue Superior Hydraulics hot rod. The former champion of the division is 3rd in points and is having a great season at MRP after enduring debilitating injuries last season. Burt is also back after breaking his back at MRP's final race of 2012. Wallace, Burt and Monahan have all visited victory lane this season.
The Performance Auto Supply team out of Marysville with veteran drivers Cort and Brandon Dozier will have a great shot at bringing home the dough in the race named after the patriarch of the Dozier family. A 3rd entry is expected with Derek Dozier behind the wheel. Brandon Dozier won the Billy Knoop Memorial Race last Saturday night in advance of this week's event.
3 time champion, Kelseyville's Brent Dothage, will be back in the saddle for the Rich Dozier Classic as will be MRP's own "5-time" Korey Lovell. Lovell has been rocket fast after a few weeks off and has a trio of end place finishes and two Legal Shield Fast Time Shootout wins to his credit in his last three appearances. Lovell is just itching for a shot at victory in this race.
Veteran racer Peter Paulson from Woodland, will have a perfect opportunity to get his second win of the season in the Rich Dozier Classic. Last year's Rich Dozier Classic winner Heath Hall out of Oroville has switched cars for the 2013 season and will be hungry for victory in the Hight Family 14h. 3 time champion Colby Wiesz is expected. The "Colfax Comet" won the 1st Performance Auto Supply Rich Dozier Classic.
With the increased purse Saturday it is expected that out of town stars from other areas of California, Oregon and Washington will head to MRP for one of MRP's signature events. It will be a wild 100 MPH, $1500 to win war.
The MRP Wingless Sprint Cars will also be offered as Marysville's Jeremy Hawes tries to stretch his win streak to 3 in a row in his quest for a championship in that division. Point leader Rowdy McClenon of Anderson will be there to try and ruin Hawes' night. Cort Dozier will do double duty in this event and try to regain lost ground in the very competitive MRP Super Stock Series. Mechanical issues caused Dozier to drop out of the top spot in the point standings as Auburn's Ray Trimble not only won last week, but grabbed the point lead as well. Defending champ Jeremy Hammons of Yuba City will lead the MRP Hobby Stocks into battle this Saturday night as well. All classes will have additional purse money offered.
The Doziers and Rich in particular, have supplied parts and equipment to thousands of racers and owners over the years. Nicknamed "Pops", Richard Dozier is a racer, pure and simple. So, it's only fitting that we should all gather at the venerable raceway in its 45th year and once again and turn some laps in anger in honor of Richard Dozier and his Performance Auto Supply.
The pit gate opens at 3PM. Grandstands open at 5PM. Hot Laps are at 5:45 with qualifying scheduled for 6:15. Racing begins after qualifying.

The Subdued Style of 'A Single Man'
Get the look from Tom Ford's 2009 film
By Calum Marsh
The White Oxford Shirt
No item is as iconic or as versatile as the white oxford shirt, which can be thrown on casually or worn to clean-lined dress perfection. The very image of refinement, a good-quality shirt like this is guaranteed to look great on any man. If a $400+ shirt from Mr. Ford himself isn't an option, try a more affordable version from J. Crew. Just don't skimp on the laundering.

Birth Story for Baby Sam (long)
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 09-21-2003 - 9:46pm
Sam Edward
Weight: 8 lb 12 oz
I had a checkup on the 17th and the doctor did an internal and I was about the same 2 cms and 50% effaced. He told me that he would see me in a week.
When I got home I started having contractions about every 5 minutes beginning at 8 pm. However, since they weren't painful I thought it was just another case of false labor and so I ignored them and went to bed at 11 PM.
I woke up at 2 AM with slightly painful contractions. I woke Steve up at 4:30 AM and told him I was in labor and that he wouldn't have time in the morning to tie everything down before the hurricane came. So he got up and started working in the yard to get everything done. At 7:30 AM we headed to the hospital even though I wasn't in that much pain, I thought I had better get checked out. The contractions didn't really hurt as such, I wouldn't really call them painful.
Everyone was having their baby on the day of the hurricane. All the Labor and Delivery rooms were full, as were the recovery rooms and I got the last of the triage rooms, after that people were getting sent to the emergency room.
When we got to the hospital at 8 AM I was already 5 cm dilated and 90 % effaced. I called the sitter to come and get the kids and called the doula to come to the hospital.
At 8:45 AM the doula arrived and came and sat with me. At 9:15 AM the sitter arrived and took the kids off to her house. While hubby was helping her load them up I was in my room with my doula when I had a contraction and heard a pop and my water broke. The doula said it was funny because from where she was sitting she saw the water shoot out like a faucet had been turned on. There certainly was a lot of fluid. They checked me again and I was at 6 cm and the baby was no longer floating but was well applied to the cervix. About 30 minutes later my doctor arrived and checked me again and I was at 8 cm. Then my contractions slowed down and spaced out. I got up and walked around and changed positions and stood and rocked from one foot to the other. I could feel the baby move down and definitely felt that he was much lower. Around 11:30 AM I was told I wasn't allowed out of bed any more since I was a VBAC. I don't know why they suddenly wanted me in bed and being monitored unless it was because I was almost complete. Up till then they had been happy to have a 15 minute strip each hour. I was checked a few minutes later and was told I was at 10 cm.
Up till this point I wouldn't say that my contractions were painful. When I had them I would just relax and close my eyes and breath through them. I didn't moan about the pain at all till I had those last 4 contractions that got me to 10 cm. Then I kind of moaned and groaned through them.
Once I was complete I was told I could push and 3 contractions and 8 minutes later and a bit of yelling later I had Sam. It is such a weird sensation to push. Up till then I was trying to relax and breath through my contractions. Then for the pushing I needed to hold my breath and push down like I was having a BM. It feels like you are trying to push your insides out and it hurts. I must admit to a bit of yelling and a couple of screams as the baby crowned and I felt the ring of fire that people talk about but as soon as he was out the pain was gone and a couple of minutes later I felt the placenta come out.
Sam was born at 11:58 AM.
I only had a 2nd degree tear, so that was good. I got to hold Sam immediately after the birth then they took him away to clean up while I got stitched up. My doula stayed with me for another 90 minutes or so after the birth and then we said our good-byes. I will see her in a couple of weeks for a follow-up, she is bringing us dinner and come to see the baby.
I did get a nice post partum room later in the day, it was nice to get out of that tiny triage room. I checked out a day early as I didn't want to spend another night in the hospital, I wanted to sleep in my own bed.
So I was only at the hospital about 4 hours before I had Sam. I got to have my unmedicated VBAC that I wanted.
Baby Sam has some jaundice. His test on Friday showed a level of 8.4, so Saturday morning I had to drive into town and take him to the hospital for another test which was 12.1. Then today he had to go again and his level was 15.2. So he has to go again tomorrow, they want to see his levels come back down other wise they are going to have to set him up with the bili lights to help with the jaundice. My milk came in today so the doctor said that would help as the more Sam eats the more he'll expel the bilirubin from his system. I hate that the poor little guy has to get his foot pricked but it has to be done. Hopefully tomorrow will be the last time, fingers crossed. He also has a checkup tomorrow at the doctors.

BTW, they do say that you are more likely to go into labor when there is a low-pressure system going through (i.e., rain). I guess it was even more true with the hurricane! :)
|Mon, 09-22-2003 - 4:16pm
My first son was severely jaundiced (14+ bili when they let us go home, over 26bili the next day and he was readmitted). I hope the bili has gone down and you can stop worrying about it. Jaundice is no fun! (especially those heel pricks! I swear dakotah had heel pricks every few hours that first few days after he was readmitted-- and a heel prick a day before that).

Cubs to seek city approval for Wrigley Field changes
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com January 16, 2012 2:42PM
The proposed renovated right-field bleachers area at Wrigley Field.
Updated: February 18, 2012 8:12AM
The Cubs will ask the Commission on Chicago Landmarks next month for the go-ahead to put up a 75-foot electronic sign in right field at historic Wrigley Field if the city insists that approval is required, a team official said Monday.
In 2004, the City Council landmarked "historic elements" of Wrigley as part of an agreement that paved the way for 12 more night games — for a maximum of 30 per season.
The designation covered the exterior and marquee sign at Clark and Addison, the quaint center field scoreboard and ivy-covered brick walls and the uninterrupted sweep of the bleachers and grandstand.
Technically, the new LED sign unveiled at the Cubs Convention over the weekend — along with a right field patio deck that amounts to a "rooftop inside the stadium" — does not require Landmarks Commission approval.
"It doesn't affect any of the historic features. It does not change the bleacher height or the outfield wall. It's a way to continue to modernize the park, but keep within the historic tradition of Wrigley Field," said Mike Lufrano, Cubs general counsel and executive vice-president of community affairs.
But, Lufrano said, "We're happy to work with the city if they believe it does [require Landmarks Commission approval]. If they ask us to go to the meeting in February, we'll be there."
Other sources said Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration has signaled its desire to go through the Landmarks Commission.
Ald. Tom Tunney (44th), who opposed the Toyota sign installed above the left-field bleachers in 2010, did not return repeated phone calls on the new LED board that would exacerbate advertising creep at 98-year-old Wrigley.
Sources said Tunney has told the Cubs he has no plans to oppose the sign.
Because of its long rectangular shape, the new LED board is not expected to be used for video-replay. But it could be a prelude to a host of team ideas to squeeze more money out of Wrigley.
The Toyota sign could someday be replaced by a video scoreboard. The Cubs could renew their 2008 requests to modify landmarking restrictions that have tied the team's hands, lift the ban on Friday night games and increase the number of night games closer to the league average of 54.
The Cubs could even revive Tribune Co. Chairman Sam Zell's controversial plan to sell naming rights to Wrigley.
Emanuel wants to find a way to save Wrigley without forfeiting 35 years' worth of amusement tax growth, which would happen under a plan previously floated by Cubs owner Tom Ricketts.
If the mayor is serious about making that happen — and using the Fenway Park model pioneered by new Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein when he was in Boston — the only way to do that is to allow the Cubs to milk more money out of Wrigley.
On Monday, the mayor's office would only say, "We will discuss these proposals with the Cubs, just as we have discussed previous proposals on their plans for Wrigley Field."

With the advent of Fanduel.com, daily contests have grown exponentially in popularity with many people abandoning traditional yearly leagues for more instant gratification with games at Fanduel, such as the FP911 Challenge.
Click here to play.
Well, there is no better way to make some money fast than by taking the challenge and testing your fantasy skills against a vast array of diehards who are all trying to earn a quick buck.
What you do is field a traditional lineup-which consists of a C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, three outfielders and one starting pitcher-all within a budget of 35,000 imaginary dollars while competing against hundreds of other players.
The scoring is as follows:
Hitters: 1B = 1pt, 2B = 2pts, 3B = 3pts, HR = 4pts, RBI = 1pt, R = 1pt, BB = 1pt, SB = 2pts,
HBP = 1, Out (calculated as at bats – hits) = -.25pt
Pitchers: W = 5pts, ER = -1pt, SO = 1pt, IP = 1pt*
* Fractional scoring per out.
If your lineup outscores everyone, than you win. What you have to do is figure out who has the best matchups and thus who is due for a big day. Sounds easy don't it?
Well if it were that easy, everyone would be raking in the cash.
Here are some tips to consider for this Friday's DFBC qualifier.
Ace's up (pitching roundup):
Here are Friday's aces worth their weight in gold:
Cole Hamels vs. Boston
Justin Verlander (who has a minor blister issue but assures he will pitch today) vs. Pittsburgh
James Shields vs. Atlanta
Jered Weaver @ San Diego
Some cheaper options with decent matchups include:
Ricky Romero vs. New York Mets
Neftali Feliz @ Houston
Lance Lynn @ Los Angeles Dodgers
Barry Zito vs. Oakland
Checking the injury report:
Carlos Beltran has been held out of four straight games with a knee issue, making him a question mark for Friday.
A knee contusion may keep Placido Polanco out of Friday's action.
Jack Hannahan has missed a few games with lingering back issue, making him very iffy for Friday.
Suspension Alert: Remember Brett Lawrie will not be playing on Friday.
A hand issue has been hampering Travis Hafner of late, but he expects to play on Friday.
Ryan Doumit will be questionable for Friday as he continues to deal with an injured calf.
Chris Getz may not play on Friday after suffering a rib contusion in Wednesday's game.
Austin Jackson, who is off to a fantastic start, may sit again (as he did on Thursday) with a mild abdominal strain.
Denard Span has missed the last few games with a nagging hamstring injury, thus making him questionable for Friday.
Although not injured, Eric Hosmer is likely to sit on Friday as the Royals try to work around his massive slump.
In case you missed it, the following players have been recently placed on the 15-day DL: Allen Craig, Jason Bartlett, Brandon Inge, Chris Nelson, Wilson Ramos (done for the year), Jon Jay, Matt Kemp, and Desmond Jennings.
Who's hot?
Before making any last minute decisions, check out who's tearing it up.
Andrew McCutchen is making up for a slow start and is 11-20 in his last six games with three home runs, five RBI's, five runs and two stolen bases.
Omar Infante continues to tear it up and is 10-30 in his last seven games with four RBI's and three stolen bases.
Mike Trout is making good on his immense potential and is 9-26 with two home runs, four RBI's, six runs and two stolen bases in his last seven games.
There is no denying of David Wright from getting on base of late as he is 13 for his last 23. Wright currently leads the majors with a Barry Bond's-esque .513 OBP.
Rafael Furcal has been keeping up his torrid pace of late and is 10-32 in his last seven games.
No shock here, but Miguel Cabrera is scorching-hot once again and is now 12-31 with a home run and eight RBI's in his last seven games.
Looking for an under-the-radar shortstop? Well no look no further than Alcides Escobar, who is 11 for his last 25.
Adam LaRoche continues to defy logic this year as he is blistering hot once again, going 10-27 in his last seven games with a home run while driving in nine runs.
Michael Bourn keeps raking, as he is now 14-33 in his last seven games while scoring seven runs in the process.
Mark Trumbo can't be stopped of late and is riding an eight-game hitting streak, while batting 17-28 (including two home runs and five doubles) in the process.
Angel Pagan, who has hit safely in 28 of the last 29 games, is red hot and is now 13 for his last 27.
It was bound to happen sooner or later, but Albert Pujols is finally starting to heat up and is riding a six game hitting streak in which he is 8-24 with two home runs while driving in seven runs.
How's the weather out there?
I learned the hard way that you should always check the weather report before submitting lineups in daily contests, as there are no makeup games in these contests.
Friday's games in imminent danger of getting rained out (above 50% chance of rain) as per weather.com include:
None this week as it's clear skies all around.
So, good luck on putting together a winning team while also raking in the cash.

Stress Incontinence

Non-Invasive Solutions

Stress Incontinence
Stress incontinence, the involuntary release of urine, affects over 13 million Americans. Almost 85% of those patients are women. Stress incontinence in women is more common than male urinary incontinence because the causes of incontinence naturally occur in females more often. Many times bladder symptoms such as urinary incontinence in women are caused by pregnancy and childbirth, which can stretch muscles and put added pressure on the urinary tract. Sometimes there is damage to the nerves during delivery that can lead to weakened muscles. As a result, stress incontinence in women can occur soon after delivering a child or it can develop later on.
Stress incontinence is a common urinary symptom among the elderly. Genuine stress incontinence affects many older women. Women who are losing estrogen due to menopause or a hysterectomy also lose strength in the pelvic muscles and organ tissues that are needed to keep the bladder and urethra in place and functioning properly. Other incontinence causes include diabetes, urinary tract infections, previous urologic surgery for cancer bladder invasion, pelvic operations such as a hysterectomy, obesity, certain exercises, some genetic conditions, smoking and illnesses that cause excessive coughing or sneezing.
Men with stress incontinence often have post-operative prostate cancer surgery prostate symptoms. Prostate surgery such as radical prostatectomy, prostate cryosurgery, da Vinci prostatectomy, or even prostate radiation may create short term incontinence. Penis surgery such as the insertion of a penile prosthesis (penis implant) to correct erectile dysfunction causes may have short term urinary symptoms but is very rare. Our Urology Specialists will monitor these and any other post procedure side effects.
Urinary incontinence treatment can involve some therapeutic methods that do not require surgery. One example is doing regular pelvic floor exercises. You can develop incontinence from a pelvic floor being weak. The pelvic floor consists of muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support the pelvic organs, including the uterus, vagina, bladder, urethra, and rectum. By regularly conducting Kegels, or similar exercises that involve contracting and releasing pelvic muscles, you can help build up strength in the pelvic floor and reduce your risk of incontinence. Our Miami Urology Center has biofeedback machines to help bring back urinary continence naturally. Our Florida Urology Center offers a natural medicine holistic approach to gaining and maintaining continence. We also evaluate current clinical research trials and employ the finest diagnostic equipment in the form of complex urodynamic studies, flow monitors, and post void ultrasound machines.
Treatment for incontinence may also lead to incontinence surgery called prolapse surgery. Bladder surgery for incontinence can include the implantation of a "sling" type device to provide incontinence support and keep the bladder in its proper position. Surgery for incontinence may also involve the removal of loose tissue or the gathering and tightening of weak muscle and tissue. Urethral bulking agents can be applied to the bladder sphincter to help stop it from leaking.
Stress incontinence should not be confused with urinary frequency which can be brought on by totally different urological reasons. Kidney stones treatment or kidney surgery to remove a kidney mass from renal cell carcinoma may cause frequent trips to the bathroom. Frequent urination is usually caused by the sensation to urinate while stress incontinence comes about from a sudden pressure on the bladder and an uncontrolled leaking of urine.
Stress incontinence can cause discomfort physically as well as emotionally. Some people develop a rash or skin irritation if urine stays in contact with the skin on a regular basis. This can be avoided by using an incontinence product such as a moisture barrier or incontinence pad. However, you may feel self-conscious about using such incontinence aids. If you suffer with urge and stress incontinence, you may feel embarrassed, distressed, or isolated. You may limit your work hours, your time to exercise, your social events, or your leisure activities to avoid having an accident in public. Stress incontinence can also affect your sex life. However, with the right kind of incontinence help, you can manage your condition and live a happy, healthy life.

How to Spend Less Money in Stores
See through marketing mind gamesand keep more of your cash for you
By Donna Fennessy
Tricky Tactic 2: Economy size and multiples
What It Is
Gigantic-size boxes and jugs at a "special price"; discounts on multiples, like 10 for $10 or two for the price of one.
The Psychological Ploy
You often assume you're getting more for your money with bulk items, but that isn't always true—the cost per unit may be the same or even higher as smaller packages. Plus, you buy more than you normally would. "The idea is, if the container is open, you'll use it," says Russ Winer, PhD, professor of marketing at the Stern School of Business at New York University. "Companies want you to form the habit of consuming more."
How to Dodge This Bullet
· Look at the unit price to see whether you're really scoring a deal. No matter what size the container, you're looking for the lowest price per unit.
· Buy only what you'll use before the expiration date. If it's going to go to waste, it's not a bargain.
· Ask a store manager, since not all "10 for $10" sales mean you have to purchase 10. In many cases, you can still pay a dollar each and buy only one or two.

BLS and ACLS Survey
BLS and ACLS Surveys
Foundational to every ACLS Algorithm is the BLS survey. The BLS Survey is the first step that you will take when treating any emergency situation, and there are 4 main assessment steps to remember. These four steps are designated by the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4.
This is an outline of the 4 steps in the BLS Survey :
(1) Check responsiveness by tapping and shouting, "Are you all right?" Scan the patient for absent or abnormal breathing (scan 5-10 seconds).
(2) Activate the emergency response system and obtain a AED. If there is more than one rescuer, have the second person activate emergency response and get the AED/Defibrillator.
(3) Circulation: Check for a carotid pulse. This pulse check should not take more than 5-10 seconds. If no pulse is palpable begin CPR.
(4) Defibrillation: If there is no pulse, check for a shockable rhythm with the AED or defibrillator as soon as it arrives. Follow the instructions provided by the AED or begin ACLS Protocol.
For a more in-depth review of BLS refer to the American Heart Association's BLS Provider Manual.
Remember to assess first then perform appropriate actions, and after each action…reassess.
The ACLS Survey uses the ABCD model to systematize the ACLS process. The ABCD's of the ACLS Survey are:
(A) Airway: Maintain airway and use advanced airway if needed. Ensure confirmation of placement of an advanced airway and secure the advanced airway device.
(B) Breathing: Give bag-mask ventilation, provide supplemental oxygen, and avoid excessive ventilation. Also, adequacy of ventilation and oxygenation should be monitored during this step.
(C) Circulation: Obtain IV access, attach ECG leads, identify and monitor arrhythmias, giving fluids if needed, and use defibrillation if appropriate.
(D) Differential diagnosis: Look for reversible causes and contributing factors for the emergency.
The ACLS survey is included in every ACLS algorithm and like the BLS Primary Survey, it helps to systematize the resuscitation process and improve patient outcomes.
Use the links to the left for further details of ACLS Protocol and specific interventions in each ACLS algorithm.
The objective of the review of these ACLS Algorithms is to help prepare you for the ACLS written test and the ACLS Megacode. After reviewing, you can test your skills and knowledge by accessing the ACLS Megacode Simulator and ACLS practice exams.

Well designed on line coarse, i was very confident when taken my test, thanks again Jeff.
Hi Jeff,
This may be a simple question, but can u please provide to me the placements of the leads? 4 leads (red, black, yellow, green) I don't have the book and I've already learned this I just need to refresh my knowledge.
Thank you for all your help! This site is awesome. It is very interactive and exciting!
I am still somewhat confused as to when to use the CAB and the BLS survey. Would the bls survey be used when initially evaluating a pt and then ( if needed) the CAB used of initial life support until ATLS can be started? ( I do not yet have my ATLS manual , it is in the mail) Thanks , Love your site , very helpful .
Sir good day, I would like to ask if patient is witnessed arrest, are we supposed to complete the 5 cycle of chest compression before giving a shock or we can interrupt chest compression to give a shock as soon as AED is available? Thank you and God bless.
Technically, Isn't a pulseless VT ( that we shock) also a PEA, pulseless electrical activity, that we don't shock? I know we shock one and not the other, but it seems they both are PEA's.
I am new to ACLS. My test is on Monday. I think I know the answer to this, but I just wanted a second opinion first. Say I am driving someone to the hospital for chest pain, but he becomes unresponsive before we get there. Do I keep driving to get him to the hospital as soon as possible, or do I pull over, call 911, check for a pulse, and do CPR on the side of the road until the ambulance comes? Granted, I realize I would need to assess the location to make sure it would be a safe enough place to do CPR, but if it is, I would think the 2nd option to be the patient's best chance, since the chain of survival clearly illustrates early CPR as an essential step. Thank you for your time and your very helpful website.
This question may be to specific, but I've never found a direct answer. If you encounter a SCA by yourself; not in yelling or paging distance of anyone else: Are you supposed to just do CPR or go get AED/Crash cart. Which choice would be most successful?
I passed my class today! I studied the AHA book, but with the help of this site, I understand and can apply what I've learned! passed ACLS today…Thanks for the help! Great site.
Hi Jeff, this will be my first ACLS class to take. I'm so glad to find your site as a source. I'm learning a lot. Anyways, would you please explain the difference between the defibrillation and the cardioversion. thanks
Are the 2010 guidelines the newest one?
I noticed on one of the videos that talked about chest compressions for the adult gave the distance of 2-2 1/2 inches. I thought the depth was 2 inches for the adult.
I thought the BLS survey have changed from ABC to CAB. However ACLS survey is based on BLS survey, would that order change as well.
i wish i can read the rationale right away instead of referring me to the page number in the manual. that's my only comment, otherwise this is a great tool for passing the ACLS. i take the test tomorrow. wish me luck!
can you explain me the difference between monophasic & biphasic defibrillator
Why isn't "Perform CPR if needed" listed as one of the directions under the (C) Circulation section of the ACLS Survey?
Why we are not treating PEA or Asystole same as that management of VF and Pulseless VT, ie why defibrillation is not recomended for Asystole and PEA?
I love this site. I will pass it on to my co workers.
Thanks Deb
A-B-C is now C-A-B according to the 2010 guidelines. Will your information be adjusted to reflect these changes?
Wonderful well designed on line course…I have no doubt I will be successful when taking my ACLS examination.

U.S. Court of Appeals Upholds $48 Million Judgment
For people with an ailment, Direct Marketing Concepts and ITV Direct had the answer: Coral Calcium or Supreme Greens. But according to a recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, the companies, their corporate officers, and related entities lacked scientific proof for claims that their products could cure or prevent diseases like cancer, arthritis, lupus, Parkinson's, and MS. The upshot? A judgment upholding the trial court's order of $48 million.
The First Circuit's opinion is a must-read for marketers of health-related products. It reaffirms key principles about the FTC's requirement that advertisers substantiate the claims consumers take from their ads.
The "reasonable basis" test is the appropriate standard for deceptive advertising claims. As the First Circuit put it, "When the FTC brings an action based on the theory that advertising is deceptive because the advertisers lacked a reasonable basis for their claims, the FTC must: (1) demonstrate what evidence would in fact establish such a claim in the relevant scientific community; and (2) compare [] the advertisers' substantiation evidence to that required by the scientific community to see if the claims have been established."
Companies need sound science to back up health claims. The First Circuit evaluated – and rejected – the materials the advertisers said they relied on, including books by one of the infomercial hosts (who was also a co-owner of Direct Marketing Concepts and ITV Direct); the opinions of a purported "expert" (As the First Circuit noted, "The infomercial presented [him] as a 'Doctor of Oriental Medicine,' but [he] did not have any such degree."); "a number of popular science and pseudoscientific articles," and one preliminary study. Although the 16-person study suggested that a certain ingredient might be worthy of further research, the First Circuit characterized it as "on its face [] grossly insufficient to support the Defendants' claims of Supreme Greens' efficacy in treating all diseases." The Court concluded that "it is clear that none of this material comes close to establishing an issue of fact regarding the Defendants' woefully inadequate substantiation evidence."
The FTC generally is not required to establish that the claims in question are false. As the Court noted, "The Defendants argue that there is a third prong to a deceptive advertising claim, asserting that the FTC was required – and failed – to prove that the infomercials were actually false." The Court dismissed that argument as at odds with established caselaw.
Don't count on general disclaimers to qualify health claims. The Defendants argued that their ads made no health claims and rather were mere puffery further qualified by disclaimers. The First Circuit rejected that defense, describing the purported qualifying statements as "do-nothing disclaimers." As the Court held, "Disclaimers or qualifications in any particular ad are not adequate to avoid liability unless they are sufficiently prominent and unambiguous to change the apparent meaning of the claims and to leave an accurate impression. Anything less is only likely to cause confusion by creating contradictory double meanings."
Corporate officers may be held individually liable. The Defendants also disputed the trial judge's decision regarding individual liability. The Court upheld a finding of liability for the corporate officer in question, observing "there is no question that [he] knew that the infomercials' claims lacked substantiation, that he had the authority to control [the companies], and, nevertheless, that he did little or nothing."
Later: More on the Court's decision regarding damages.

From The American Rifleman, September 1995.
The U.S. Army wasn't particularly impressed with the concept of a submachine gun, and little ordnance research and development was done following World War I. However, a distinguished Ordnance Dept. officer who retired a couple of years before America's entry into that war felt that the submachine gun had the potential to be an extremely valuable arm.
John Taliaferro Thompson entered the U.S. Army in 1882 and made a name for himself during the Spanish-American War directing the supply of munitions during a time of near chaos. Thompson was later a key player in the development of two legendary American military arms—the M1903 Springfield rifle and the M1911 .45 pistol. He was recalled to active duty in late 1917 and was named Directory of Arsenals and charged with supervising small arms production.
After the war, Thompson became very interested in, if not obsessed with, the concept of a "trench broom," as he called it, for close quarter fighting. He recognized that the .45 ACP cartridge would be ideal for use in such an arm. The heavy slug could provide a great deal of short range stopping power, particularly when fired from a full-automatic arm.
While working on a semi-automatic rifle design, Thompson became enamored of a locking mechanism developed by a U.S. Navy officer, John B. Blish. The Blish principle used a sliding wedge as a locking device. Thompson chose to adapt the Blish locking mechanism to his "trench broom."
Thompson assembled a talented team of designers and, by 1919, the new firm of Auto-Ordnance was involved in developing the first American submachine gun to see production. Several magazine designs were evaluated, but it was decided that box magazines and a novel drum magazine would offer the best service.
The most natural market for Thompson's new gun was, of course, the U.S. Military. When he brought up the general concept in 1917 to a number of Ordance Dept. officers they expressed interest. The Navy also thought that such an arm might be of value to Marine and Navy landing party duties.
By early 1920, Auto-Ordnance was ready to have its prototype tested by the government. On April 27, 1920, the Springfield Armory conducted preliminary functioning tests and the results were very impressive, as 2,000 rounds were fired with only one stoppage.
The Marine Corps tested the gun a few months later at Quantico, Virginia, with similarly favorable results. Even though no official trials had been scheduled, Auto-Ordnance began plans to have the new gun mass produced. Contracts were eventually negotiated with Colt for the manufacture of 15,000 "basic firing mechanisms" and with several other firms including Lyman and Remington, for items like sights and walnut stocks. They were to be assembled by Auto-Ordnance at its own facility.
The new arm was designated "Thompson Submachine Gun, Model of 1921." It was finished in Colt's attractive bluing and fired at a rate of approximately 800 rounds per minute. Both the Army and Marines tested the M1921 Thompson, and although the results of the tests were favorable, adoption of the submachine gun was not recommended. The military was not particularly interested in acquiring any new weaponry in the early 1920s. Auto-Ordnance made a number of inquiries to foreign government during this period, but few orders were forthcoming. The company had a little better luck with the commercial market, though sales were slow.
The Thompson submachine gun eventually gained a reputation as a gangster weapon due to its widely publicized use in the hands of notorious criminals of the era, but he weapon was not as ubiquitous as the public may have been led to believe. Sales to law enforcement agencies increased as many municipalities, as well as the FBI, felt obliged to obtain Thompsons so as not to be outgunned by the crooks. Frankly speaking, the need for submachine guns by many law enforcement agencies during this period may have been more perceived than real.
Although it was not officially adopted, the Marines obtained several hundred M1921 Thompsons for use in Nicaragua, where they proved quite valuable. A number were also issued to the Marines guarding the mail during a rash of armed robberies. The Navy eventually decided that the Thompson would be useful in the arms racks of some of its vessels, particularly the Yangtze River gunboats.
In 1928, the Navy made plans to adopt the Thompson but requested modifications from the M1921 design. They mandated a lower 600-round cyclic rate, a horizontal fore-end and a Cutts compensator. The Cutts had been an option on Thompsons, and it helped hold down the muzzle during firing. With these changes, the "U.S. Navy, Model of 1928" was adopted.
Auto-Ordnance received an order for 500, which along with the 340 M1921 Thompsons acquired previously, was enough to satisfy the limited demands of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps for the foreseeable future. The guns were from the original batch of 15,000 guns made by Colt in 1921. Indeed, the Colts were sufficient to meet the demand for Thompsons until the eve of World War II. The Model of 1921 marking had the "1" overstamped to "8", but, except for the addition of a heavier actuator to reduce the rate of fire, the Cutts Compensator and the horizontal fore-end, the M1928 U.S. Navy Thompson retained the same features found on the commercial guns of the same era.
The U.S. Army had shown even less interest in the Thompson. By the late '20s, the Army was in the process of acquiring tanks and scout cars to equip the Cavalry and standardized Thompsons as "non-essential limited procurement." Numbers were small, however, since the Cavalry preferred to wait for the Garand rifle still under development. The Infantry saw no need for Thompsons whatsoever.
When the M1 Garand rifle was finally adopted and issued, the Cavalry soon realized that the Thompson was better than the M1 rifle for its uses, given its more compact size and greater firepower. In September 1938, the Thompson changed from Limited Procurement status to Standard and was designated the "Submachine Gun, Caliber .45, Model of 1928A1." Even with its official adoption, the Thompson was relegated to use as an auxiliary Cavalry arm, and little thought was given to its potential value as an infantry arm.
The M1928A1 Thompson was issued with the same type of 20-round box magazine and 50-round drum magazine as used with the M1921 and M1928 Navy models. A very heavy and cumbersome 100-round drum was produced previously for the commercial Thompsons, but none were procured by the government.
In June 1939, the Army ordered 950 Thompsons from Auto-Ordnance. The inventory of Colt-made guns was just about depleted, and Auto-Ordnance made plans to have M1928A1s produced under license by the Savage Arms Company plan in Utica, New York. Gambling on increased orders from the U.S. as well as other countries due to war breaking out in Europe, Auto-Ordnance wanted to have its own factory. An old brake-lining plant in Bridgeport, Connecticut, was acquired and renovated for armsmaking.
Auto-Ordnance guessed right about the demand for Thompsons. By late 1940 the Army had placed orders for 20,405 additional M1928A1s, and a year later the total ordered came to 319,000. The first Thompsons started to come off the Savage assembly line in February 1941, and the Bridgeport plant began to deliver guns by August of the same year. Many of the Thompsons ordered by the government were intended for allied nations, particularly Great Britain, under the "Lend-Lease" Program.

On Thursday March 1 I went over to my new neighbors. I didn't know what to say, so I was kind of nervous. I walked across the street holding freshly made cookies and walked up to the door. I rang the door bell and waited and started to hear footsteps getting closer and closer. Finally a nice young girl opened the door and said, "Hello."
I said," Hi," and I asked her if she was the new house owner she said she was. I gave her the cookies she thanked me and asked me why I made them for her. I told her it was just a welcome gift, she said thank you again and then I said good bye.

Garden Gnomes Give 'Heil Hitler' Salute
In Germany, of course—but ironically, their creator says
German investigators determined in July that a golden garden gnome giving the Heil Hitler salute was not a breach of German law, because, as its creator artist Ottmar Hörl argued, "Portraying the German 'master race' as garden gnomes was an ironic gesture." Well, Hörl and his gnomes are back, this time en masse: 1,250 of the saluting creatures are on display in a public square once used for Nazi rallies in Straubing, Bavaria. The London Times credits the German popularity of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds and the theatrical version of The Producers for opening the people's minds to the use of Nazi symbols to ridicule Hitler, rather than glorify him. But Hörl better hope that life doesn't imitate art—it's still illegal for humans to make that infamous gesture. Meanwhile, the people with the most cause for complaint might be the garden gnome loving community; it'll be hard for anyone who's seen the sinister display to look at the munchkins with the same affection.

Welcome to Music at St. Martin's
MUSIC AT ST MARTIN'S came into being as a result of a happy collaboration between the then rector Michael Thompson, John & Joy Pye, Stephen Johnston and Paul White (then Director of Music at the Endowed Schools), whose love of music encouraged them to hold regular concerts in the glorious acoustics of this historic church. As the momentum grew, a number of concerts were organised with visiting choirs and groups, supported by local hotels and businesses who took advertising space in concert programmes.
A Handel's Messiah workshop was arranged with Paul White as the director and we were delighted when the singers included Lady Victoria, Simon Leatham, Miranda and Orlando Rock. Fergus Black became Director of Music at the benefice and was persuaded to support the Music at St Martin's initiative, bringing together talented local musicians to give concerts, including a group of women singers who became known as the St Martins Singers.
The initial ideas - to enable more people to appreciate the building, to raise the musical profile of this magnificent church in Stamford and to help raise funds for its maintenance - remain at the centre of Music at St Martin's.
We now have a formal structure, with charitable status and over the years Music at St Martin's has succeeded in making a substantial contribution to the Fabric Fund. However, with the necessity for expensive work on the church roof, combined with rising costs, the committee wishes to make a more valuable contribution to this vital work.
In 2014 we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Music at St Martin's and we are very grateful to the Countess of Munster Musical Trust, Bill & Sue Clements, Julius Geeson of Smallwood Architects and John & Joy Pye who have undertaken to sponsor three of our concerts. As well as the new sponsorship scheme, we can now offer Season Tickets and we hope that all our supporters will enjoy the particularly splendid season of events on offer this year. A full copy of our 2014 Season Brochure can be downloaded here.
Details of our AGM on Tuesday 17th June 2014 can be found on the News page.

Omega 9000 Juicer - Stainless Steel Fruit and Vegetable Juicer Reviews
Customer Reviews
I've had an Acme 6001 for years and it has served me well. When it was time for a new juicer, I bought the Breville since it was popular.
Big mistake! It was a good-looking juicer that didn't work.
The Omega 9000 produces very dry pulp and yields a lot of juice.
Now for the cons: carrots have a tendency to stick to the bottom and along the periphery of the basket which goes inside the bowl. It takes a long time to scrub off. A filter might help, but I never had that problem with the Acme and it was built in the 90's. If it wasn't for that design flaw, I'd give it another star.
One last thing. Make sure you process the fruit & vegetables in the right order. For some reason, if you put, maybe, cucumber and parsley first, before the carrot, the juicer will flip out and do a dance on the counter. I experienced the same thing with the Acme. Read up on processing.

The New Year will bring many changes to Reinhardt University. From expanding degree offerings to adding a new sports program to improving the campus landscape, positive changes are happening in and around the University for 2013.
"I believe Reinhardt University is the most dynamic institution of learning in the State of Georgia," said Dr. J. Thomas Isherwood. "With our largest enrollment ever, three new residence halls, new music and science buildings, new sports programs, and new and expanding academic programs, we are moving forward in such a positive direction, and that's very exciting."
Several new degrees programs will soon be offered to students. The Bachelor in Healthcare Administration is an online degree completion program designed to meet the needs of the non-traditional student. Classes a will begin in January 2013.
"Reinhardt's program in health care administration responds to those needs by preparing students who already have an associate degree or the equivalent college credit to move up within their current organization to administration positions," said Phil Unger, healthcare administration program coordinator. "It also allows those working or moving into the healthcare field to earn a bachelor's degree in healthcare."
For more information about the bachelor of healthcare administration, BHA >
Reinhardt's proposal for a Master of Public Administration program with a concentration in Criminal Justice is currently under the review by Reinhardt's regional accrediting body, the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities (SACS), for accreditation. If approved, the MPA program is slated to begin fall 2013. Prospective students are encouraged to begin submitting application materials, and the $25 application fee will be waived for applicants who have submitted all their application materials before May 1, 2013. For more information on the MPA program >
Reinhardt's football program began this year with 140 players, and although not in official competition until fall 2013, the team has began practicing and scrimmaging.
The new 22,000 square-foot Athletic Field House, which was completed this past September, houses the locker room and offices for the football team and its coaches, along with the baseball, softball and men's and women's soccer teams and coaches. It also has a 4,800 square-foot weight room, an athletic training area, a concession stand and an outdoor plaza. For more details about Reinhardt Athletics, visit
Also taking the field next fall is Reinhardt's inaugural marching band. Reinhardt Marching Band Director Freddie Martin hopes to recruit 85 to 100 instrumentalists for the fall 2013 start, with those numbers increasing each year. In early spring a "Marching Eagle Day" will welcome potential student musicians who are interested in being part of the band program. Look for more information to be provided on the Reinhardt website soon.
Many construction projects are underway to improve the learning environment and enhance the beauty of Reinhardt's campus. In its beginning stages, an addition to the Samuel C. Dobbs Science Hall is currently under construction. The more than 12,000 square-feet of additional space, the renovation of the existing space and the new equipment and technology will make the Dobbs complex a current and effective environment for the instruction of science. The $4.2 million needed to construct this building was raised from donors and foundations.
Construction will begin soon for two new residence halls that will be part of the Hubbard Hall complex. These two halls will add bed space for 92 more students and bring Reinhardt's on-campus housing capacity to 692 students. These premier housing rooms are done in the same design as Hubbard Hall and should be available for student occupancy in August 2013.
To better represent the beauty of our campus and the dynamic nature of what the University has become, a new Reinhardt University monument sign is under construction at the intersection of 108 and 140. The project is being funded by The Community Foundation of Northwest Georgia and will be completed for the return of students in January.
Architect Garland Reynolds has worked with theatre faculty and school deans to design a building to house the Reinhardt Theatre Program. Located adjacent to Lake Mullenix, the facility would contain a black box theater, that would hold approximately 120 guests, and instruction and workshop space.
"The goal is to create a plan from which a drawing can be done so we can begin the process of fundraising," said Isherwood. "It is part of our present capital campaign and, hopefully, in the next couple of years, we will be successful in raising the approximately $4 million we will need for the theater's construction."

I'm looking for a friend and potential life partner to do fun, adventurous, and spontaneous things with. I like to exercise 5-6 times a week. My friends would describe me as loyal, hard working and fun to be around. I would like to meet a woman who is secure with herself emotionally as well as physically and who will take me for who I am. For the most part, I'm relaxed, secure, and comfortable with who I am--with a bit of stubbornness (to pay homage to my Irish roots). I've been working at the same non-profit HMO for the last six years. I enjoy what I do and intend to stay here as long as I can. As funny as this sounds, in this job market and economy, I feel secure in my job. I'm a former professional cook who still enjoys cooking for friends and family. Do you like Italian food? Putanesca is my specialty. I'm what you would call a binger when it comes to reading books. I'll read 3 or 4 in a row and then take a break. History is a favorite. My current book is Berlin At War. It's the story of life in Berlin for the average citizen during WWII. What books do you like to read? I hope to hear back from you, whoever you are. Maybe we'll click.

Written Answers. - Prison Redevelopment.
Mr. Gormley Mr. Gormley
Mr. Gormley asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will make a statement on the future of Shanganagh Prison and lands in the council of Dún Laoghaire Rathdown; the details of the prospective purchaser; the amount paid to the lands; if this sum has been paid; if the lands were offered for sale to the County Council; if so, when; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6863/07]
Mr. McDowell Mr. McDowell
Mr. McDowell: Approximately 21 acres of land was sold to Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council in 2005. Prison Service Officials were at the time informed by the Council that it had no interest in the remaining 6.3 acres including the buildings, which were subsequently sold by public tender competition in October, 2006 to Castlethorn Construction for €20.6m. Following the disposal of the 6.3 acres the Prison Service no longer has any interest in the lands at Shanganagh Castle.
The proceeds from the sale of the lands at Shanganagh Castle covers the cost of acquiring the 150 acre site in North County Dublin to facilitate the new prison development at Thornton Hall which will replace the Mountjoy Prison Complex.
