LAST MONTH, the AIA officially released two new integrated-project delivery (IPD) agreements to help the industry adopt morecollaborative processes and take full advantage of building information modeling (BIM). The agreements have the potential to eliminate "a lot of the adversarial nature of the construction industry" and reduce claims and disputes, says Suzanne Harness, managing director and counsel, AIA Contract Documents.
The more traditional agreement requires architects and contractors to collaborate at an earlier stage but does not substantially change the usual risk allocation, Harness says.
The other, however, is a "one for all and all for one" model in which the owner, architect, and construction manager form a single entity—with shared risk and reward—for the purpose of designing and constructing a building.
The AIA hopes the latter model, inspired in part by a similar one used in Australia, will motivate all parties to work toward the same goals. Both agreements require that BIM be used "to the fullest extent possible," Harness says.

Valentine's Day Dinner Ideas: Vegan and Made With Love
Candles, check. Romantic music, check. Flowers, check. Delicious food…big check! Why deal with getting the perfect reservation, overpaying for a meal that is half the price on any other day or curbing your drinking because you have to drive? And for most folks, it's still cold outside so what better way to keep warm on Valentine's Day than to cook for your honey and stay home for a romantic evening? The vegan Valentine's Day dinner ideas below are sure to please, especially when you add the secret ingredient of love!
Passionate Pomegranate
- 6 ounces organic vodka (remove for a non-alcoholic beverage)
- 2 ounces seltzer
- 4 ounces Triple Sec (remove for a non-alcoholic beverage)
- 4 ounces pomegranate juice
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1 pomegranate, seeded
Combine vodka, seltzer, Triple Sec, pomegranate juice, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker over ice; shake. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass; garnish with pomegranate seeds.
Roasted Artichoke with Garlic Aioli
- 1 large artichoke
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
- Half head of garlic (roasted in tin foil with olive oil, salt and pepper for 30-40 minutes)
In a medium sized pot, place artichoke in water and bring water to a boil. Cover, reduce heat slightly and allow to steam for 15 minutes. Remove artichoke from pot, place in baking pan and drizzle with olive oil, garlic and salt. Bake artichoke in 400 degree oven for 30-40 minutes, until soft. Meanwhile, blend together mayonnaise and the roasted garlic until well mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste. When artichoke is done cooking, allow to cool slightly. To eat, pull leaves from the artichoke, dip in chipotle sauce and enjoy!
My Heart "Beets" For You Salad
- 1 bunch of beets (4-5), leaves removed
- 2 large navel oranges, peeled and sliced
- 1 bunch of arugula leaves, cleaned, and stems removed
- Sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
(mix all the ingredients in a glass container)
Salad Prep: Cook the beets with their peel on. Cover the beets with water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes or until beets can easily be pierced through with a fork. After cooking, allow the beets to come to room temperature and remove their peels and then slice them. Place them in a small bowl and marinate them in half of the dressing recipe above. On individual salad plates place the arugula, a few slices of orange, a few beets, a few slices of red onion and some chopped walnuts. Sprinkle dressing over the individual salads.

Over the Edge...
Tuesday 27th September 2011
A business trip in Turkey had a rather surprising turn of events last week. I started off in Ankara to deliver a Metaphors of Business workshop to a business group there, before flying to Antalya to present a couple of talks at a major medical conference. Having completed the presentations, Laura and I travelled south to Cirali for a few days break before flying home. The car picked us up at 6pm and we were looking forward to relaxing by the sea.
This second thought was delightfully interrupted by a terrific crash and impact and a showering of broken glass as our freefall descent was rudely interrupted by a small group of trees on which the car landed, wheels down, perpendicular to the angle of the trees. This latter detail meant that decelleration/impact injuries were minimal and that our landing was actually not that bad at all. We looked at each other briefly noting each others surprise at this fortuitous change of events before struggling out of a broken window to safety. That was when Laura looked at me and said those horrible words, "I think I'm bleeding."
- Don't allow social and emotional fears from preventing you from doing what you want to do. This is advice I have pretty much live by. It's partly why I have done so much in my life and explored so many different areas of human experience.
What I learned then, and still know to be true now, is that nursing and retirement homes tend to be full of people who know what they would do differently if only they could.
In short, they judge, but make sure that they are unavailable themselves to be judged.

Effective August 1, 2008
WAC 388-454-0015 Temporary absence from the home
The temporary absence policy described in this WAC applies to the temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) and state family assistance (SFA) programs. In some situations, a child receiving TANF/SFA can continue to be eligible for TANF/SFA cash assistance when there is a temporary separation of the child and the child's caregiver. There must be a clear expectation the absence is temporary and the child is expected to be reunited with the family. Temporary absences can't exceed one hundred eighty days except as described in (1)(a).
1. For recipients, temporary absences include, but are not limited to:
a. A caregiver receiving care in a hospital, substance abuse treatment facility, or other medical institution. If the temporary care exceeds one hundred eighty days, the assistance payment for the person is reduced to the CPI amount specified under chapter 388-478 WAC.
b. Out-of-home visits less than one hundred eighty days, when the caregiver is still responsible for the support and care of the child.
c. A caregiver or child attending school or training as described in WAC 388-454-0020.
d. Placement of a child in foster care or in the care of a relative or other adult, including when the child's primary caregiver is in a residential treatment facility. The division of children and family services (DCFS) must place the child and determine the child is expected to return to the primary caregiver within one hundred eighty days of the placement.
2. For applicants, temporary absences include:
a. When the child is placed in unlicensed foster care or in the care of a relative or other adult and DCFS expects the child will return to the home within one hundred eighty days of removal. Benefits can also be approved for an applicant if DCFS determines that the child will be in the care of the applying adult within thirty days of authorizing assistance even if the child has been out of the home for over one hundred eighty days.
b. When the child is out of the home because of illness or hospitalization and the absence isn't expected to exceed one hundred eighty days.
3. For situations described in (1)(d) and (2)(a) of this WAC, concurrent TANF or SFA cash assistance can be made for the child, only when DCFS places the child in the temporary care of an unlicensed-relative, other caregiver, or in foster care. DCFS must expect the child return to the home of the primary caregiver in one hundred eighty days.
a. When the child goes into licensed foster care, the TANF/SFA grant to the parent continues.
b. When the child goes into unlicensed care, whether with a relative or other caregiver, the TANF grant to the parent continues and the caregiver can also get a TANF grant.
4. Situations that do not meet the criteria of a temporary absence include, but aren't limited to:
a. The caregiver or child is incarcerated for any length of time.
b. The child ran away and there is no clear expectation of when the child will be returning home.
c. A caregiver or child is away attending school and doesn't meet the criteria outlined in WAC 388-454-0020.
5. A caregiver must report within five days of learning that a child's absence is going to be greater than one hundred eighty days as required under WAC 388-418-0005 and 388-418-0007.

2 dead, 6 wounded in weekend shootings
BY ASHLEE REZIN AND SAM CHARLES Staff Reporters January 25, 2014 7:06AM
Article Extras
Updated: January 25, 2014 1:52PM
Two men are dead and at least six people were wounded since Friday night in shootings across the city.
A man was shot and killed early Saturday in the South Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side.
Police responding to a call of a person shot about 2:55 a.m. found the 23-year-old man unresponsive on the sidewalk in the 3800 block of West 26th Street, police said. The man suffered a gunshot wound underneath his chin.
He was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:10 a.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. The man's name was withheld early Saturday pending notification of his family.
About two hours earlier, four people were wounded and one man was killed in a shooting in a bar on the South Side.
The five people were shot about 12:52 a.m. while they were attending a party inside Rudy's Lounge in the 5100 block of South Union Avenue, police said. An argument broke out between party-goers and two uninvited males, and after the males were escorted from the bar by security, shots were fired from the bar's doorway.
A 35-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where he was pronounced dead at 1:38 a.m., according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. His name was withheld early Saturday pending notification of his family.
Also, a 37-year-old man was shot in the neck and a 40-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the head, police said. Both men were taken to Stroger Hospital, where they were both listed in "stable" condition.
A woman, 34, suffered a graze wound to the neck in the shooting and took herself to Provident Hospital of Cook County, police said. She was later transferred to Stroger Hospital and listed in "stable" condition.
A 37-year-old man also drove himself to Provident Hospital with a graze wound to the arm, police said. As of 5 a.m., he had been treated and released.
The most recent non-fatal shooting occurred about 4:45 a.m. Saturday in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side.
A female, whose age was not immediately known, was sitting in a car in the 1700 block of North Whipple Street about 4:45 a.m. when she was shot in the right arm and abdomen, police said.
She was treated at Stroger Hospital where she was listed in "stable" condition, police said. It was not immediately known if she drove herself to the hospital.
About 1:50 a.m. Saturday, a 24-year-old man walked into a suburban hospital after he was shot in the Austin neighborhood.
The man was outside in the 5700 block of West Washington Boulevard when he heard shots and felt pain, police said. The man suffered a gunshot wound to his left flank, the area directly underneath the armpit.
He walked in to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park where he was listed in "stable" condition, police said.
No one is in custody for any of the shootings as area detectives investigate.

In the 1950s the moral code became even stricter and gay actors and actresses lived in a culture of fear. Rock Hudson was one of the biggest stars of the time yet his homosexuality was concealed by the arranged marriage to his secretary. The marriage was short lived but Hudson's sexuality and long term relationship with fellow actor Marc Christian was kept secret until his public announcement that he had contracted AIDS in the mid 1980s. Other big stars of the era rumoured to be gay or bisexual include: Cary Grant — who lived with fellow actor Randolph Scott for twelve years but repeatedly denied that they were a couple, even though many of the photographs depicting Scott and Grant at home and at play seem to obviously convey otherwise; James Dean — who has been linked with a number of gentlemen; and Joan Crawford — who loved women and allegedly even had a one night stand with Marilyn Monroe.
Women's groups and religious groups warned Hollywood to clean up its act which led to the first cinematic classifications guidelines in 1933. These self regulated dos and don'ts were particularly harsh on sexuality, and especially homosexuality. The 1930s were the golden age of Hollywood and the birth of the STAR... but the fans were not getting the whole story. Studio contracts meant that a lot of money was riding on a particular actor's reputation and damage control became de rigueur for agents who basically had complete control over celebrities lives. The stars were under very strict morals contracts that defined the way they dressed, how they behaved and of course who they dated. If they misbehaved they could be fined or put on suspension or, worst of all, be fired.The androgynous actors of the past were replaced by ultra masculine actors and feminine female leads. But of course this in no way reflected their actual sexual persuasion. So to enforce their public heterosexual image, studios conducted elaborate arranged "lavender" marriages for gay actors — the classic example being Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Salem, whose false union was mutually beneficial for concealing both actors true sexuality.
Surprisingly, the sexual liberation of the 1960s and 70s had little effect on the secretive nature of Hollywood. Although films like Midnight Cowboy began to push the sexual envelope and homosexuality as a subject began to appear in movies, it was still a big no-no for any actor to actually be gay.
(Photo: Cary Grant and Randolph Scott were "house mates" for over 12 years.)
And not much has changed today. With all the gay themed movies, popular gay characters and even a handful of out actors around, Hollywood still operates the same way with many actors and actresses questionable sexuality splashed across the tabloids like it was a bad thing. And sadly it does genuinely seem to affect their careers.
When Pee Wee Herman's Paul Ruebens was busted by cops taking things into his own hands in a gay porn cinema, his career was over. But when leading British heartthrob, Hugh Grant was caught cheating on his girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley with cheap street-hooker, Divine Brown, it not only didn't lower his popularity but it actually quashed those hushed gay rumours and cemented his image as a ladies' man. The message here is clear: career-wise, it's much better to have a straight sex scandal than a gay sex scandal.
Apparently the majority hetero viewing public need to be able to relate to their leading men and women and need to believe on some level that they could be romantically involved with them — even though the chances of that are virtually nought, no matter what their sexual preference.The irony is that there are now many gay characters in films. Yet strangely, whereas thirty years ago a straight actor would be risking his career playing a gay role, it is now considered a benchmark of their talent and almost guarantees them an Oscar nomination.
(Photo: It had been rumored that Barbara Stanwyck was a lesbian.)
But sadly for openly gay actors like Rupert Everett and Ellen DeGeneres, their repertoire is limited. It's ok for a straight man to play a gay role but it's not ok for a gay man to play a straight role. Tom Hanks cast in Philadelphia made the audience feel comfortable with the subject matter — but Anne Heche in a romance with Harrison Ford in Six Days and Seven Nights? Forget it! The theory is still that actors will alienate their audience if they are gay and it will cut box office takings in half.It's like how they used to paint up white actors and hire them to play coloured roles, but now we find that un-pc. Will we someday think heterosexual actors playing gay characters is un-pc? And will the heterosexual audience ever be enlightened enough to cope with gays playing straight roles? Until that shift in consciousness occurs, most gay and lesbian actors will remain in the closet. Things can go on behind closed doors but the Hollywood establishment will do everything they can to see to it that the real facts about Hollywood never become so public that they will affect the business of Hollywood.

• Ohio State Mansfield Board initiates scholarship endowment
• Board alumni offer experience, expertise
• Most Ohio State Mansfield students rely on scholarships
• Family engagement prepares students for college
Ohio State Mansfield Board initiates scholarship endowment
Taking a major step to lead The Ohio State University at Mansfield's capital campaign, board members created "The Ohio State Mansfield Board Leadership Scholarship" to provide permanent scholarship help to students completing their academic degrees at the Mansfield campus.
The scholarship will be awarded to outstanding third or fourth year students completing bachelor's and master's degrees at Ohio State Mansfield. Other qualifications to be considered include involvement in university and community activities, a minimum 3.0 grade point average and written recommendations by faculty or staff members.
Ohio State Mansfield Board Chair Christ Ticoras, M.D., helped to shape the initiative and now encourages others to provide additional support to build the fund. "Helping students to complete a world-class education at Ohio State Mansfield is a notable mission," said Ticoras. "This initiative is another important resource to help potential student leaders reach that goal."
The Mansfield Board Leadership Scholarship endowment fund has a $200,000 funding goal. To date, more than $50,000 in pledges and gifts have been received. "We are one quarter of the way to our ultimate goal and encourage all individuals to support this meaningful endeavor," said Ticoras.
Individuals may support this new scholarship by making a gift online at www.giveto.osu.edu/mansfield to fund #482021.
Dean's Message
Hello! I am Steve Gavazzi, Dean and Director of The Ohio State University at Mansfield. I invite you to visit us soon and learn more about the transformation of our campus. Physically, you may not recognize the place if you have not visited in a while. A new greenhouse is about to rise up out of the woodlands that will enhance our botany offerings, and the Bromfield Library is being transformed into an Information Commons that offers high tech learning tools in a user-friendly environment for students, faculty, and staff. Programmatically, we are adding majors that will allow students who wish to remain with us for four years to complete an increasingly diverse number of degree offerings. And collectively, we are fostering important new relationships with school districts in surrounding communities in order to increase college aspirations, especially among underserved student populations. Join our excitement and enthusiasm… and GO BUCKS!
Board alumni offer experience, expertise
Ohio State Mansfield's long history of involving community leaders in Citizens Councils and advisory Boards has led to the formation of a Board Alumni Program.
At its inaugural meeting, about 40 individuals gathered over lunch to discuss opportunities important to the group and the campus.
"As Ohio State Mansfield prepares to provide a high-quality education for future generations, it's essential for us to rely on the time-honored experience of those who helped to found this campus and provide important direction over the years," said Don DeCenso, alumni board chair.
"Our hope is to help the campus in recruiting growing numbers of students and raising additional funds, while assisting the campus in its transformation into a 21st century learning environment," added DeCenso.
Current plans call for engagement of board alumni members in the joint planning of some events and the hosting of social and business meetings with the entire group at least twice each year.
The Ohio State University President Gordon Gee will keynote the next meeting of the alumni board group scheduled May 18.
Most Ohio State Mansfield students rely on scholarships
About 23 percent of OSU Mansfield students received $550,823 in scholarships this academic year.
Scholarships awarded to 163 new students totaled $306,154. Over 150 continuing students received a total of $244,669.
Additional aid covering 1,182 students, or about 80 percent of the student body, totaled $3,830,710. These awards represent categories such as federal grants, federal work study, student loans, and more.
Almost half of the student body is composed of new first-year students. In addition, sophomores total about 22 percent of the student body and juniors and seniors, 15 percent and 17 percent respectively.
Family engagement prepares students for college
Leaders at Ohio State Mansfield are developing a Family Engagement initiative that will provide programs to Mansfield City Schools and other school districts.
Many times, a lack of resources and practical ideas keep school personnel from having a more family-centered orientation as part of the educational process. This program would, in part, provide district-wide family engagement training for teachers and other school-based professionals and promote family visitation days to colleges.
"Currently, there is considerable discussion in educational circles about the importance of engaging families," said Stephen Gavazzi, Ohio State Mansfield dean and director. "Ohio House Bill 1 established the requirement that all school districts participate in family engagement efforts."
The project will build on efforts already taking place across Northeast Ohio. Geared toward reaching two groups, under-served student populations and rising seniors with limited access and resources, the program seeks to help them prepare to be successful in college.
Through this initiative, campus leaders are creating more opportunities for low-income, first generation, and diverse students to raise aspirations for higher education. These efforts will also complement the collaboration with North Central State College.

But for those who know Cheyanne Campo, arthritis is not an old person's disease. Campo, who lives in Woodhaven, suffers from the condition at the young age of 10.
Juvenile arthritis is an umbrella term for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that afflict children age 16 or younger. Campo has suffered from juvenile arthritis since the age of 3 when her parents noticed her swollen knees on Christmas morning.
But despite being troubled by an illness that could leave her with less limberness than most girls her age, she, with the help of doctors and modern medicine, is living a normal life. So normal in fact, she took part in a 3.5 -mile walk to raise money and awareness in the fight against arthritis.
Sporting T-shirts reading "Team Cheyanne," she, along with family and friends, took part in the Arthritis Walk on June 23 in Battery Park. So far, Campo's team has raised over $600 this year. This is the fourth year Campo is taking part in the walk.
"On the back of the T-shirt, it says 'Walking for a Cure' so they can find a cure for kids like me with juvenile arthritis and anyone else, because it's hard for us to do activities sometimes, especially during the winter," Cheyanne explains. "When I get sick, my knee bothers me with the rest of my body."
Nearly 200 staff members from the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, where Campo receives treatments, also took part in the walk and the hospital has raised close to $20,000 for the Arthritis Foundation. The Hospital for Special Surgery specializes in orthopedics and rheumatology and was ranked the No.1 orthopedic hospital in the country by US News & World Report in 2011.
Although her condition often makes walking painful, Campo's treatments at the Hospital for Special Surgery have allowed her to literally take strides to fight her disease. Thanks to an intravenous treatment she receives biannually, Campo is able to take part in gym class in school and run around like a normal 10-year-old at recess. She enjoys running and jumping rope, two activities untreated juvenile arthritis would have made impossible.
"When a child is diagnosed with juvenile arthritis, many parents are worried and upset," said Dr. Emma Jane MacDermott, a rheumatologist at the hospital who treats Campo. "They are thinking about a future for their child full of problems, and we really like to reassure parents that's not the case. A lot of parents worry that their children shouldn't be in sports, they won't be able to take part in physical activity, and that's often not the case."
Campo receives her treatment twice a year, but that is not a standard time frame. The treatments are customized to each patient. Campo's treatment is based on the severity of her condition, which doctors said exists in multiple joints in her body.
Despite the pain and swollen joints, Campo advised children diagnosed with her condition that with treatment, the disease will not severely impact their lives.
"You don't have to be that scared because after a while you'll know it's just a small part of your life, and you will just believe that it's not even there," she said.

Going to the movies in Bangkok is often a popular way to escape the midday heat or an afternoon downpour. After paying a fraction of western ticket prices, visitors are further impressed by the luxurious seating that awaits them within the theater, many of which even feature fully reclining love seats with blankets and pillows! Visitors must remember to stand in honor of the king and are required to suffer through dozens of silly Thai commercials, yet these simply add to the wonderful experience of going to the movies in Thailand.

Less than one year after Michigan State University added a commercial-sized anaerobic digester to its campus sustainability arsenal, the magic of bioengineering has transformed thousands of tons of organic waste from MSU and the greater Lansing area into biogas that has generated more than 1.7 million kWh of electricity.
Thanks to a $1.09 million grant from the Michigan Strategic Fund, plus matching funds from Michigan State University (MSU), several bio-based MSU research projects will be fast-tracked for commercial development over the next three years.
During last summer's drought in Michigan – the worst in the last half-century – Michigan State University researchers nearly doubled corn production on state test farms using a process that inserts soil water-saving membranes below plant root zones.
How plants handle stress in space and what astronauts can learn from them is the subject of a new study at Michigan State University.
Federica Brandizzi, MSU plant biologist, will use a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to shed light on how plants and humans can adapt to handle the stress of long-term space missions.
"I've always been fascinated with NASA and space exploration," Brandizzi said. "Knowing that my research could contribute to the potential of a future with sustainable life in space makes my work quite rewarding."
AgBioResearch (formerly known as the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station) encompasses the work of more than 300 scientists in six colleges at MSU: Agriculture and Natural Resources, Communication Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Natural Science, Social Science and Veterinary Medicine. Collectively, AgBioResearch and MSU Extension represent research and programs that serve hundreds of thousands of Michigan residents and have more than a billion dollar impact on the state each year.
The MSU BioEconomy Network coordinates the increasingly diverse range of bioeconomy activities on campus: research, policy, economic analysis and education, as well as corporate and government collaborations and commercialization. Formerly known as the Office of Biobased Technologies, the network also reinforces MSU's role in expanding the bioeconomy through public and private partnerships. About our mission...

Cops Pay LiLo and Sam a Visit Over Broken Window
There's even more trouble in paradise. Police were called to Samantha Ronson's Hollywood Hills residence this afternoon -- and not to arrest Lindsay Lohan.
The girls were in a "nuclear fight," according to TMZ. Police showed up after a window was smashed during an apparent heated argument!
But the quarreling couple remained inside the house and refused to open the door for LA's finest.
TMZ is also reporting that Lindsay's warrant was issued in relation to her court ordered alcohol education program. Either LiLo never enrolled or never showed up.
Hopefully she'll stop all this drama until her hearing on Monday. Then again, this is LiLo we're talking about.

A Modern Dining Room and Kitchen Makeover
Discover how one reader transformed her kitchen and dining room into a bright gathering place
By Woman's Day Staff
Easy Does It
One of Jessica's favorite tricks for an inexpensive update: Add paneling. Besides giving the dining room walls some texture, the white paint reflects light, making the space appear brighter. She cut low-cost sheets of medium-density fiberboard from Home Depot into 2½"-wide slats to attach vertically to the wall, then finished them at the top with scrap 5"-wide pine wood and caulk. "You can't tell the MDF isn't solid wood once it's painted," she says. "It cost about $30 to do the whole thing."
Jessica was bored with the fabric on a pair of wingback chairs she's owned for 15 years, so she reupholstered them herself with a staple gun and fabric from Calico Corners. (Hues in the pattern—from deep red to cornflower blue and lemon yellow—inspired the color palette Jessica and WD used in the dining room and kitchen.) "You can see a couple of staples on the chairs, but it would have cost more than $1,000 each to have them done," says Jessica. "If you do it in sections, it's not that hard."

The condition is generally treated with an open surgery but it leaves a big scar from under the neck up to upper abdomen. Fatima, however, had a robotic procedure that was performed with just eight incisions to insert the arms of the robot. Surgeons at the Institute of Robotic Surgery at Sir Gangaram Hospital are now excited about the possibilities of doing complex surgeries with robotic technology.
Fatima consulted some of the leading hospitals but did not feel confident about an open surgery. "Doctors told me that open surgery is going to be painful and there was no surety whether my condition would improve. Initially, we were not aware that robotic surgery was available for my condition. Later, I found out that this surgery could be done without much scarring and pain," she said.
According to the director of the institute, Dr Arvind Kumar, an open surgery for myasthenia gravis will involve fracturing the rib bones to get to the thymus gland that has to be operated upon. "It usually leaves an ugly scar and unmarried, young women are weary of getting it done. But through robotics, we managed to reach the thymus gland without fracturing any rib bone. One cannot see any incision mark or scar from outside. She is also able to walk around and even prepare for her exams within 48 hours of the surgery," he said. Another patient of myasthenia gravis, Pallavi Mittal (22), was also operated upon the same way.
The team of surgeons involved with the surgery claimed on Friday that they had also performed the first vascular surgery with robotics in Asia. The surgeries were performed on two patients in their 40s suffering from atherosclerosis or blockage in arteries. Both used to experience extreme pain in their legs as the blood was not able to reach the legs due to the block. They were barely able to walk a hundred metres without pain.
"The surgery of blood vessels can be tricky. We have to join an artificial graft to the aorta that needs specialized suturing skills. Even a small mistake can lead to litres of blood loss. But the vascular surgeries with robotics have been successful and precise," said Kumar. As part of the robotic surgery, six incisions of 8mm were made.

Arma Extended is moving over for AGM!
Posted by Dash - 20 Nov 2014 07:48 PM
As part of the new mod structure, Arma Extended will be shipped out and replaced by AGM!
There are multiple reasons behind this, the key reasons being: comparability and my lacking of time
I have started a new full time job and I unfortunately can no longer devote as much time and effort into maintaining AE, so in the interest of keeping up with the times, we will be switching over to AGM, but with a few OCB tweaks.
The AE core features will be released as an AGM patch once they are complete.
AGM is also starting to become the next ace, so naturally more and more mod makers are adding compatibility for AGM to their mods, these same mods will not work with AE as it is technically an entirely different mod.
More details to follow soon regarding when this will happen.
Arma 3 Helicopters DLC Released
Posted by CptDavo - 05 Nov 2014 07:03 AM
- Bohemia Interactive today released the Arma 3 Helicopters DLC – the second premium DLC for Arma 3. Featuring the highly detailed CH-67 Huron and Mi-290 Taru, the DLC adds new helicopters, the Sling Loading showcase scenario, and helicopter Time Trial challenges (watch new trailer).
The CH-67 Huron is a twin-engine, tandem rotor heavy-lift helicopter. Its primary role is the transportation of troops, vehicles and cargo – and is available in both an armed and transport variant. The Mi-290 Taru is a heavy utility helicopter with coaxial rotors and a unique modular construction. Various mission pods enable the Taru to serve many different roles. It can transport cargo, troops, and provide battlefield supplies (ammunition, fuel, repair facilities, and medical equipment). Both helicopters are also capable of sling loading, which is a brand new feature in Arma 3 - and is further demonstrated in the premium Sling Loading showcase scenario. The Helicopters DLC also features four exclusive Time Trials, where helicopter pilots can show off their skills by winning the gold medal.
The Helicopters DLC is supported by a free Arma 3 platform update - released today alongside the Helicopters DLC. The 1.34 update includes the brand new Support multiplayer mode, where players need to provide various types of helicopter support – such as troop transport and medevac – in a Sector Control multiplayer scenario. In preparation of the new multiplayer mode, players can enroll in the brand new VR Training helicopter stages, and learn the ropes of rotary flight. In addition, Arma 3 content creators will be happy to learn that a variety of new in-game objects, ranging from landing platforms to military decorations and more, have also been added in the new update.
The Arma 3 platform update also introduces several major new features to Arma 3. For instance, players can now choose to enable the optional RotorLib helicopter flight model, which is an upgraded version of the flight model used in Bohemia Interactive's Take On Helicopters, and provides an even more authentic helicopter flight experience. Furthermore, the platform update includes the aforementioned new ability to sling load cargo, which places a stronger emphasis on the importance of logistics on the battlefield. Last but certainly not least, the update implements the much-anticipated firing-from-vehicles feature - enabling passengers to engage targets while seated in a vehicle.
Jay Crowe, Creative Director on Arma 3:
- "With this DLC, we've turned our attention towards enhancing helicopter flight, but there's much more to it than that alone. With our new features and content, combined arms gameplay in general has benefitted, and the Arma 3 platform is all the better for it!".

|Bamberg County Council...
There is plenty of money out there, Bamberg County Administrator Rose Dobson-Elliott informed Bamberg County Council members at their April 6 meeting (referring to the federal stimulus package passed by congress). Dobson-Elliott stated that she attended two recent stimulus package meetings and was informed that while some of the larger cities in the state receive their stimulus money directly, and have already began spending money, Bamberg County must follow the same process it has in the past.
Its coming down to us on the same vehicles, (USDA, LSCOG), the same process to receive the stimulus funds, we must put an application together, some funds have already hit the streets, those places are their own Entitlement Zones, Dobson-Elliott said, citing cities such as Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg, the City of Charleston, and Aiken as examples of cities that are already spending stimulus money.
They receive their funds directly, those areas have planning departments, they have paving programs, they have their plans done, still, all of ours comes through places like (USDA, and LSCOG) and weve got to go through the same application process, she said noting that Bamberg County has to compete against a number of smaller municipalities for funds.
Dobson-Elliott stated that there were several things the county had to have in place when submitting an application for grant money, citing the Fair Housing Resolution approved by council as an example. There is a check off list, and you must have them or it can delay your receiving the funds, she said.
Council member Rev. Isaiah Odom asked if being a member of the Southern Carolina Alliance qualified the county to be considered as an Entitlement Zone as that was its purpose for joining. Council members agreed to look into Rev. Odom suggestion.
Also during the meeting:
Council heard presentations from the 2009 D.A.R.E. Essay Contest Winners and presented each one of them with a trophy. 2009-D.A.R.E. Contest Winners are : Andrew Jackson Academy, Joseph Stanfield; Denmark-Olar Elementary School, Joshua Brown, Mervin Ford, Jr., Kaleisha Rice, Ryan Coleman; Richard Carroll Elementary School, Kaitlyn Myers, Tatyona Thompson, Ralph Wallace Rentz, Jonathan Williams.
Council members received an original Jim Harrison farm print from Shannon Herndon, Bamberg County 4-H representative and 4-H Club members to help celebrate its 100th year in South Carolina.
Council passed a resolution recognizing April 7, 2009 as Elizabeth Evelyn Wright-Menafee Day in Bamberg County.
Council members heard a report from Patrick Ciez, of USC Salkehatchie on the finding of a study on tourism in the five county areas of Bamberg, Barnwell, Allendale, Hampton, and Colleton. Ciez reported that tourism has a $28 million impact in the five county areas. The activities most involved are: Food, Shopping, and Lodging, followed by camping, hunting, fishing, and nature based tourism, the arts, golf, and festivals. He stated that the group would be meeting with local and area businesses to see how they promoted tourism.
Council heard a report from BCHNC CEO Roy Vinson, who reported that the facility is looking at a May 1st closing date on the sale of the nursing center. Vinson reported that year-to-date expenses for the facility were down $1.6million, with a net income for February of $97,000, which represents a year-to-date upswing of $400,000 on the positive side, compared to last year this time when the facility showed negative $1.7 million bottom line. Vinson warned council though, were still not out of the woods.
Council approved on second reading an amendment to the Bamberg County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance.
Council approved the appointment of Donald Parker of Denmark to the Lower Savannah Workforce Development Board to replace Lyle Retherford.
Council members approved the appointment of Teresa Nimmons to the Bamberg County Library Board representing council district #6.
Council members approved ratification of a resolution declaring March 22, as Walter E. Pete Brooker Day in Bamberg County. Council member Clint Carter voted opposed stating that he had not received his packet before the meeting.

Treatment choices will be based on what the cause of the rash is and specific medical information about your child such as if she is on other medications, if she has any allergies to any medications, if she has other health conditions, the weight of your child, etc. Also the severity of the rash will be involved in the determination of treatment. Attached is a link to additional information provided by Everyday Health regarding rashes: http://www.everydayhealth.com/health-information/rash-what-is-it.aspx As always, talk with your health care provider regarding questions about your specific health care needs.

UCLA forecasts California housing recovery next year
by Ricardo Lopez, LA Times
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012
Despite quickening home sales and rising prices in some parts of California, the state's housing market won't begin a full-fledged recovery until next year, economists at UCLA predict.
A dearth of residential construction remains a huge drag on the state's economy, according to the quarterly UCLA Anderson Forecast, while sales of distressed properties still dominate the market.
"The data is just not telling me that the market has turned or is on the verge of turning," said senior economist Jerry Nickelsburg. His report noted that "California real estate markets are either still in the trough or still declining towards it."

Business Idea Center - Exhaust Hood Cleaning
Exhaust Hood Cleaning
Business At A Glance
Startup Costs: $2,000 - $10,000
Home Based: Can be operated from home.
Part Time: Can be operated part-time.
Franchises Available? No
Online Operation? No
Business OverviewIn many regions of the country, restaurants are required by health board regulations to have their kitchen exhaust hoods cleaned on a regular basis to prevent bacteria growth and potential grease fires. This creates more than ample opportunity for entrepreneurs to start an exhaust hood cleaning service. There is specialized equipment available for cleaning restaurant exhaust hoods and filters. However, this equipment can be costly, and to reduce startup costs you can always resort to the good old 'strong arm' method until the business is established and the equipment can be purchased from profits. Cleaning rates vary depending on the size, style, and access to the exhaust hood, but averaged out on an hourly basis there should be no problem maintaining $30 to $50 per hour for providing the cleaning service.
