Sand casting is a labor-intensive process whereby the artist carves a design in tufa stone or hard-packed wet sand and pours molten silver into the carved area. The silver piece is removed when it is cooled, and the rough edges are filed off, the back is buffed and it is carefully polished on the front. Any buckles, clasps or pins are soldered on the back, and the piece may or may not be signed. Popular years ago, sand cast pieces are now harder to come by as fewer artist choose this method of jewelry making. This brooch is a Yei (pronounced yeh' ee) which is a Navajo God - in this case it is a Rainbow Yei because of the bowed shape. The flat back and center ridge on the body and arms are typical of sand cast pieces. The face is very detailed, as is the design on the skirt. Remember, all of this was first carved into stone or sand in reverse before the silver was poured. This piece is not signed, but is still a very nice example of sterling Navajo artistry. It measures 1 1/4" x 1".

cause of ADEs among both physicians and nurses. At the level of physician ordering, lack of awareness of drug interactions and correct dosing was the most frequent problem; at the nurse level, during administration of medications, overdosing of anti-emetics, mixing drugs in incompatible solutions, and overly rapid infusion of intravenous drugs were the most common errors (Leape et al., 1995).
Mathematical proficiency is a prerequisite for accurately performing many aspects of medication administration, such as intravenous regulation (Ashby, 1997; Calliari, 1995). Nurses' poor mathematical and drug calculation skills have been linked to medication errors (Bindler and Bayne, 1991; O'Shea, 1999). Yet experts in human factors and ergonomics estimate that humans will normally (under conditions that do not involve any time pressures or stresses) make simple arithmetic errors at a rate of 3 per 100 calculations (Park, 1997). When nurses must calculate drug dosages under conditions of stress or time constraints, it is likely that this error rate will be higher.
Other causes of ADEs include stresses in the environment, including interruptions, fatigue, and overwork; miscommunication, including illegibility of written drug orders; lack of information about the patient; and problems with infusion pumps and IV delivery (Pape, 2001).
Potential remedies A number of strategies have been proposed to address the above problems, including ongoing in-service education, use of reference material as decision support, and medication administration assistance devices. The Institute for Safe Medication Practices and AHRQ have identified three medication administration technologies (in addition to computerized prescriber order entry at the point of prescribing) as important strategies for reducing medication errors at the point of medication administration by nurses: unit dose dispensing, bar-coding of medications, and use of "smart" infusion pumps.7
Murray (2001) also examined automated medication dispensing systems—drug storage or cabinet dispensing systems that allow nurses to obtain medications at the point of use (some at the bedside) by electronically dispensing the medications at a specified time and tracking their use. However, Murray found that the "limited number of available, generally poor quality studies does not suggest that automated dispensing devices reduce medication errors." Studies of their use observed: nurses waiting at busy administration times, removal of doses ahead of time to circumvent the waiting periods, and overriding of the device when a dose was needed quickly. The author cites these incidents as examples of "an often-raised point with the introduction of new technologies, namely that the latest innovations are not a solution for inadequate or faulty processes or procedures" (Murray 2001:114). This caution echoes a warning by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices that health care systems should "not place sole emphasis, resources, or reliance on automation while sacrificing or ignoring other safety initiatives … automation alone is not the panacea for medication errors that some believe it to be" (Anonymous, 2000).

Teachers at Conifer and Standley Lake high schools who participated in a "sick-out" last Friday that closed both schools said they did it to raise community awareness primarily about the school board's proposal to review the Advanced Placement History curriculum.
Secondarily, the teachers have been protesting a compensation plan being implemented by the board that gives raises based on merit.
Columbine High School was under lockdown Monday morning after the school received a threat.
Jeffco Public Schools sent out a tweet about the lockdown about 9:45 a.m. on Sept. 22 and notified parents, said Melissa Reeves, spokeswoman for the district. The school was out of lockdown by noon.
Reeves said school activities continued as normal inside the school during a lockout, but no one is allowed to enter or leave school buildings.
Jeffco Public School officials hope that similar protests that closed both Conifer and Standley Lake high schools on Friday do not continue next week.
A rumored district-wide "sick-out" by teachers will close two schools and threatens to close more Friday morning in Jefferson County.
Jeffco Public Schools confirmed Friday morning that classes at Conifer High School and Standley Lake High School in Westminster have been canceled Friday due to the high number of teacher absences.
Jeffco's marijuana task force is recommending that the county remain on the sidelines of the state's new retail marijuana industry spurred by Amendment 64.
The Littleton Planning Board approved the urban renewal plans for Columbine Square and the South Santa Fe Drive corridor after taking two meetings to reach the decision.
The board agreed on Sept. 11 that the two plans presented by the city's urban renewal authority, Littleton Invests For Tomorrow, comply with Littleton's comprehensive plan, the document that guides development in the city. The board had extended the discussion of the plans after its Aug. 25 meeting.
The Jefferson County Cultural Council, the group that makes recommendations for grants from the metro area's Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, is seeking three new members.
The county is seeking one member from District 1, the northern part of Jeffco, along with two members from District 3, the southern part of the county. Members are selected by the county commissioners and serve a three-year term.
The Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District might find itself involved in more legal affairs before the end of the year.
At last Wednesday's meeting, Inter-Canyon's Board of Directors discussed hiring an outside attorney to look at the entire department's actions the previous four years.
"We need somebody not currently associated with any of us to review what has transpired and what actions this board should take moving forward," said Karl Firor, board treasurer.
The Jeffco school board will form a committee Thursday night to examine and evaluate the district's curriculum.
Details on the direction and role of the committee are now listed on the Sept. 18 agenda, located at www.jeffcopublicschools.org.
"The charge to the committee is to review curricular choices for conformity to Jeffco academic standards, accuracy and omissions, and to inform the board of any objectionable materials," according to the committee guidelines.
Just a week after the school board approved his performance-based pay plan, Jeffco teachers recorded a vote of no confidence in school board President Ken Witt.
According to the teachers union, the vote by 180 representatives of non-administrative educators was unanimous.
"It is evident that educators in this district have had enough of the secrecy, waste, and disrespect of this board majority and its president," said a statement from John Ford, president of the Jeffco Education Association.

Consider making your own games - older kids can help with this! Car Bingo is a classic in my family. Simply take squares of paper, and then with a thick black marker and a ruler draw five lines down, and the same across. Then after a trip to the dollar store put stickers of farm animals, cars, trucks, road signs, wildlife, dogs, birds, cats (whatever you manage to find) in each square, make one card for each player and simply have the kids mark them as they spot the things on their cards - a line is a bingo! Then the cards get passed along and a new game begins. The best way to mark them is to get them laminated and then use a dry-erase marker, since you'll need just a facial tissue to rub off and start fresh.
Other games include looking for neat license plates, red barns, counting horses (or other items), or the classic "punch buggy" game minus the hitting; we slap the seat in our car! Another classic with my family involves a deck of cue cards with a thing to find on each one. Road signs, railroad crossings, emergency vehicles, churches, speed limits, pylons, animal crossings, gas stations, favorite restaurants, etc. We make up the cards beforehand and to play we deal out three at a time. When you spot one of your items you put the card in your lap, score a point, and draw another card. First to five wins! Variations can involve each item having different point values, or event cards like "steal a point card from another player," "choose one card and place it in your points pile," "lose (or gain) one point," "trade hands with another player," etc. Be creative and inventive - maybe you can add in landmarks or rules specific to your route of travel!
A final thought, consider stopping along the way at fun, free, or cheap places. It adds time but makes for a memorable journey. When our family was faced with a 21-hour drive we opted to spread it out over three days and stopped in at little museums, aquariums, a cave tour, a mall with a huge old merry-go-round inside, a state park, and other neat stops along the way.

How Much is Liposuction
The cost of liposuction can vary considerably. In general, having a little fat removed from a small area of the body is much less expensive than procedures involving the removal of larger volumes of fat from larger body areas. Liposuction is usually an outpatient procedure, though more extensive forms may require an overnight hospital stay, adding additional cost.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons places the average liposuction cost at around $3,000. This cost can be as high as $1,500 to $8,000 depending the on the extent of the procedure.
While it is impossible to give an accurate estimate for the cost of liposuction without examining the patient, the calculator below will help you estimate the total price for liposuction. Simply select the desired body parts and you will get an estimate for the liposuction cost.
NOTE: The anesthesia fees above only applies to patients undergoing general anesthesia and should not be included for liposuction surgery done under local anesthesia.
Breakdown of the Total Liposuction Cost
When weighing the costs of liposuction, it is important to remember that your total expense involves more than just the surgeon's own fee. There are also expenses such as anesthesia, the surgical room, and any required follow-up visits. When comparing liposuction fees, be sure to ask the surgeon for an estimate of the total cost, not just the surgeon's portion of the fee.
With any surgical procedure, there are three basic categories of fees. The first is the surgeon's fee. This expense is for the surgeon who performs your procedure. The anesthesia costs pays for the anesthetic used to numb the tissue. With most liposuction procedures, the anesthetic is injected during the procedure itself, resulting in minimal charges when compared with other surgical procedures. However, this is a cost that still must be taken into account. Finally, there is a facility fee. This pays for the surgical center, doctor's office, or hospital operating room where the liposuction is performed.
Liposuction patients may also incur additional expenses outside of those required for the liposuction procedure itself. For example, you may need to take medications, schedule post-treatment visits with your doctor, or wear a compression garment to support your body's new contours as the area heals. Finally, don't forget to take into account the recovery time, and any time you'll need to take off work to recover.
Factors Affecting Liposuction Prices
The actual amounts of the above fees can vary considerably based on factors related to your surgery, in addition to considerations unrelated to the procedure itself. Geographic location and the doctor you choose will affect the price. A highly qualified surgeon can command higher fees, although most patients find this additional expense well worth it, as the doctor's qualifications affect both the cost and the outcome of liposuction treatment. Although it makes sense to 'shop around' and ask several doctors for cost estimates, do not choose your liposuction surgeon based on price alone. There are better ways to make liposuction affordable than cutting corners on your procedure.
What About 'low-ball' Liposuction Prices
How to Finance Liposuction Surgery
As with most cosmetic procedures, liposuction is not typically covered by health insurance, but this should not keep you from considering it. Many patients do save up their money to pay the costs of liposuction upfront, but there are other options. Many surgeons offer flexible financing options, enabling you to spread out the costs with monthly payments. Doctors who do not offer financing themselves are likely able to direct you to financing options that can make liposuction affordable for you. If you are concerned about how to pay for liposuction, bring this up during the consultation visit so that your surgeon can explain your payment options.
Liposuction Monthly Payments Calculator
Since liposuction is a luxury, it is better to use ones savings to finance it instead of accumulating debt. However, if you are considering a loan to pay for liposuction you may want to use our monthly payments calculator below. Just fill in the following fields to get an estimate for the total payback amount and monthly payment for liposuction.

Smaller than expected and would not hold
By Jessie L. from Howell, MI on Apr 25, 2011
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I tried every trick I could think of to try to get the suction cups to stay stuck to my tiled shower wall. They would let go as soon as I took my hands off the basket. I was pulling my hair out when I finally decided to use clear silicone adhesive to "glue" the suction cups to the wall. Now the baskets look great, but they certainly did not live up to the advertising.

ANAHEIM (AP) – The Los Angeles Angels have demoted right-hander Joel Pineiro to the bullpen following his fourth poor start in a row.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia made the move Thursday, one day after Pineiro was charged with seven runs over 4 1-3 innings in a 12-4 loss to Minnesota.
No decision has been made on who will take his place in the rotation.
Pineiro is 5-6 with a 5.31 ERA in 18 starts. In his last four games, the 32-year-old Pineiro has been tagged for 22 earned runs, 29 hits and five homers in just 13 1-3 innings.
Pineiro is in the final season of a two-year, $16 million contract.
He spent the first 25 games of the season on the disabled list because of shoulder stiffness.

Synthetic Multivariate Models to Accommodate Unmodeled Interfering Spectral Components during Quantitative Spectral Analyses
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 54, Issue 2, pp. 246-254 (2000)
Acrobat PDF (265 KB)
The analysis accuracy and precision of any multivariate calibration method will be severely degraded if unmodeled sources of spectral variation are present in the unknown sample spectra. A synthetic method for correcting errors generated by the presence of unmodeled components or other sources of unmodeled spectral variation has been developed. If the spectral shape of the unmodeled spectral component can be obtained and mathematically added in variable amounts to the original calibration spectra, then a new synthetic multivariate calibration model can be generated from the augmented data to accommodate the presence of the unmodeled source of spectral variation. The new method is demonstrated for a case where unmodeled temperature variations are present in the unknown sample spectra of dilute aqueous solutions of urea, creatinine, and NaCl. When constant-temperature partial least-squares (PLS) models are applied to spectra of variable-temperature samples, the standard errors of prediction (SEP) are approximately an order of magnitude higher than those of the original cross-validated SEPs of the constant-temperature PLS models. Synthetic models based upon constant-temperature data augmented with a classical least-squares (CLS) estimate of the spectral effect of temperature obtained from variable-temperature aqueous sample spectra are demonstrated to significantly reduce errors when predicting concentrations from spectra of solutions at variable-temperature. We demonstrate that the prediction precisions approach the original calibration precisions when the new synthetic PLS models are applied to variable-temperature solution spectra. Although spectrometer drift added bias errors to the analyte determinations, a method is demonstrated that can minimize the effect of long-term drift on prediction errors through the measurement and use of spectra obtained from a small subset of samples measured during both calibration and prediction. In addition, sample temperature can be predicted with high accuracy (± 0.13 °C) with this new synthetic PLS modeling method without the need to recalibrate using actual variable-temperature sample data. Therefore, the synthetic method eliminates the need for expensive generation of new calibration samples and collection of their spectra. The method is quite general and can be applied by using any known source of spectral variation and used with any multivariate calibration method.

(Yes, it's Saturday. I lose track of time when long-lost adult children come to visit. But I wanted to get in on Jen Fulweiler's weekly blogger tradition. You can, too, if you like: see Jen's instructions at the very end of this post.)

As my philosophy professor, the late lamented Dr. William Marra, used to say,
"Money is happiness in the abstract."
He was right: if we dedicate Black Friday to commerce,
it's not so much because we want this particular HDTV or that particular vegan leather handbag: it's because money seems to bestow the power to be happy in whatever way we might turn out to desire. It …continue reading

I've never lived in the Third World, unless you count that one-year stint in Jerusalem when I was three (a subject for another day).
I have very little first-hand experience of real poverty.
I did live in and around Barcelona for ten years—not conditions of misery by a long shot. Coming from America, though, I imagined I was enduring hardship. Only a few stores had fresh milk. My American pizza pan wouldn't fit inside my little Spanish oven. Apartments were tiny, by my standards, and so were refrigerators, washing machines and cars (not to mention people, and families). Life was lived on a small (if much more elegant) scale.
I got used to that.
But what really struck me, every …continue reading

December 13, 2006: Mia's Meltdown
Season 2, Episode 8
Dec 14, 2006 08:37 AM ET
Tina Charles
First of all, they showed Mia a lot in this episode, so it pretty much seemed like she was the one who would go; I just didn't think she'd go the way she did. I really, really don't like it when reality-TV contestants quit (unless it's for something that happens in their personal lives). I just don't. So, Mia's departure was very unsatisfactory. I just like it when things play out like they're supposed to play out. And I don't think Elia should have gone home, either, but if that's what was supposed to happen, then it should have happened. Mia's the second Top Chef contestant this season to take the decision out of the judges' hands, and that's just crazy to me. It makes me think of all those chefs who wanted to be on the show and would never have quit. The Quickfire challenge: create an original Bailey's cocktail along with a small snack Winner: Cliff Guest judge: Kristin Howard, award-winning mixologist Am I the only one that thought that this mixologist was way too blunt? She made me feel sorry for Betty, and that's not easy to do these days. The first thing I thought of when I heard about this challenge was that this has got to be right up Mike's alley. And sure enough, Mike said he had tons and tons of bartending experience, so there you go. And he did come through: His "Tasty Lacy" drink, plus the cherry ice-cream sandwich, looked delicious. It did seem like the chefs were trying to come up with fancy-shmancy dishes and drinks when all Ms. Howard would have been happy with would have been Bailey's on the rocks and a mini-cheeseburger. So it's not surprising that she chose Cliff's concoction (Bailey's, rum, vodka and vanilla bean) and his dish that consisted of grilled beef, crème fraîche fondue, nutmeg and chocolate. She told Mia that her presentation for her drink (Chocolate Mama - does she have to add "Mama" to everything she makes?) was "pretty basic." But she was way harsh with Betty, whose drink was admittedly curdling at the top. The way she said she was afraid of the drink, however: "Maybe it tastes good.... But it doesn't." Ouch. She wasn't impressed with Mia and Betty; on the flip side, she felt Cliff, Sam and Michael definitely impressed, with Cliff getting immunity. The Elimination challenge: cater a Christmas party for $1,500 Winner: Sam Substitute judge: Queer Eye's Ted Allen (yay!) Guest judge: Lee Hefter, executive chef for Spago Beverly Hills The group of eight are immediately broken up into teams; the Black team is Elia, Cliff, Mike and Mia, and the Orange team is Sam, Marcel, Betty and Ilan. Of course, one team runs like a well-oiled machine while the other team bumbles and stumbles all over themselves. Color me crazy when I realized that it was the team with both Betty and Marcel that wasn't the troubled group. The Orange team seemingly did everything right. They immediately elected a leader (Sam), then came up with a very ambitious menu. They thought up something like 13 dishes to serve the partygoers - I was very impressed. I agreed with the guest judge: They seemed like they were working with a $5,000 budget. Watching the Black team was an exercise in frustration. They did everything wrong, from beginning to end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like they decided their menu first, then, after they shopped for all their ingredients, they elected Elia as their leader. Elia and Cliff seemingly decided that they would go with quality over quantity - why, I have no idea. They wouldn't even listen to Mia. In Mia's defense, she did try to get through to them, but they weren't having it. Eventually she did the wise thing and sucked it up and worked with her team. Four dishes. I still can't get over the fact that they only cooked four dishes. In what world is that acceptable? It doesn't matter that the judges thought that two of their dishes were the best ones out there.... They still didn't have enough to feed the party. Obviously, there was a lot of demand, and they didn't have the supply or the manpower to cover said demand. My favorite part was when Tom Collichio played a "mixologist" of sorts - he decided to mix things up and stir up a little trouble. After he found out that they were only making four dishes, he then unloaded the fact that the Orange group had come up with 13 dishes: "Do you think that was a mistake?" I don't care what Cliff said, they had to be worried. Their "quality over quantity" shtick was just not the way to go. It was definitely clear that the Orange team was going to win this challenge, although one firework exploded at the judges' table after they announced the winning team. I know Marcel was just trying to secure the win for him, but when you have a team that blew the other team away, it's the winning leader that's going to get the bulk of the credit. But Marcel just couldn't let it go. What did he think he was going to accomplish by saying that he didn't need leadership? That was just wrong and made him look desperate. As for the Black team, Cliff had immunity and Mike coasted by once again. It was going to come down to Elia or Mia. As manager, Elia was probably going to be told to pack her knives and go. But Mia threw herself under the bus in order to allow Elia to stay. Boo. Plus, things got really heated between Mia and Cliff. I know Cliff needed to actually listen to other people's opinions, but the yelling was just unnecessary. I see that Mia's passionate, but there's a point where it's just too much. One more minor thing: the Bravo poll of the week asked people to vote on the sexiest Top Chef wannabe: Sam, Ilan, Elia and Betty. I'm a little upset that Cliff wasn't one of the choices. I'm just saying.... Although I still like Cliff, I'm going to keep an eye on him for the next couple of weeks. He's been letting more and more of his cocky side out every week. Only thing is, he seems to be able to back it up with his culinary talents. Topics to Discuss: - What did you think about Mia quitting? - What did you think of Cliff in this episode? Is he getting too cocky? - Mia vs Cliff: who was in the right? - Who do you think the sexiest Top Chef wannabe is?

December 20, 2014
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has blasted former Gov. Rod Blagojevich for imposing a "culture of secrecy" on state agencies under his control and hampering the release of public records.
Madigan told the Illinois Reform Commission that the Blagojevich administration repeatedly refused to release information that the public and the press were legally entitled to under the state's Freedom of Information Act.
The commission was created by new Gov. Pat Quinn to come up with ways to clean up Illinois government in the wake of the Blagojevich scandal. Blagojevich was removed from office last week after being impeached following his arrest on federal corruption charges.
Madigan has given Quinn suggestions for how to increase compliance with the law.

I will also be joining you two in the may 2010 cohort! I'm glad this is letting us get in touch with people that will be in the same class. I've heard some great things about this program from a girl I randomly ran into. Were you able to find out anymore from the two people you met? Can't wait to get started and to meet everyone!

Here are a few things I have gathered from the 2 gals. First they both warn me how hard it is--which I had already gathered and maybe because it was so fresh in their minds as they just graduated or are graduating in May. I just know it will be a roller coaster year. Here is what the one gal shared:
As far as schedule goes from what I can remember- the first 2 weeks are health assessment. This is an all day type thing maybe 8-4 ish. There are quizzes and check offs everyday for that 2 weeks then at the end a formal check off with you and your lab partner doing the assessment in front of the professor.
Once the 2 weeks are over, you will have fundamentals of nursing, pharmacology, pathophysiology, then an 'history of nursing' (I can't remember the exact name of the class). The way the schedule worked out for me was class 3 days a week and clinical 2. Clinicals can be on any day and any time. They don't care about where you live or your time schedule. Some people had Saturday and Sunday afternoon clinicals. You can plan on all 5 days a week being spent in either class or clinical. On top of that you get to go home and spend for me at minimum 3 to 4 hours a night just to keep up.
Tips that may help you are to be organized and plan out your study time. If that means going to starbucks or the library- then do it. You have to make the time in order to be successful. There were about 10 out of my class of 40 that did not make it through. I found it helpful to have a study group. You will want to get a group pretty quickly of a few people who are reliable that you can work with.
Clinical all 3 semesters!
1- fundamentals/psych
2- OB/ peds/med surg
3- Advanced med surg/ community/preceptorship
***Look forward to meeting you both!! Janene
- 0Jan 29, '10 by NY1963Hi! I graduated from the UDM accelerated BSN program in May 2008. I applied in December 2006, was accepted, and still had 4 prereqs to finish before the program started in May 2007. During the first and second trimester, classes were held three days a week and clinicals were two days a week. During the last trimester, classese are two days a week and clinicals are three days a week. My clinicals were at Henry Ford (Med Surg), Providence (Med Surg), St John Macomb (OB), Childrens Hospital (Peds), and the John Dingell VA Medical Center (Psych). Clinicals can be on weekends, times are 7a - 3p or 3p - 11p. You have to submit clinical reports to your instructor on patients that you cared for. These reports can be 10 - 12 pages long and you have one report to do each week. Clinical instructors vary - some are more helpful than others...
You'll have tons of reading and studying (try to form a study group - it helps!), UDM has a skills lab at the start of each trimester, and you have to pass a couple of Med Math tests. For each class, you can have 3 to 5 chapters to read each week. DO NOT FALL BEHIND!! DO NOT MISS CLASSES!!
Most of the professors are good, they are available outside of class, and you'll have the reading assignments at the start of each trimester. To save some money, you can buy used textbooks. You'll have to print out the lecture notes - bring them to class so that you can highlight important info. Tests were multiple choice, but there were always two answers that seemed "correct".
Tuition is high. I received $4000 per trimester from UDM for my GPA, a nursing loan, a private loan, and some Federal loans. The hospital where I am employed gives graduate nurses an extra $5000 per year for 3 years to pay towards student loans, provided that you stay there for three years. Given the current economic situation, I do not believe that they are still offering that for new grads.
You will get through this program, but you must be committed and use your time wisely!

I graduated from the program in May of 2009, and wanted to add that it really prepares you for your board exams. Our passing rate was very high (over 90%) and still feel very happy with my choice in schooling. It was very expensive to attend, and I had to take out additional loans to live off while attending, because it is very hard to work during the program. I was able to pay off my loans in about 20 months with working some overtime, and sticking with a budget.
