Physical Assessments: Do Any Nurses Do Them
- 2Aug 1, '09 by romieIt has become apparent to me early in my nursing career that many RNs are no longer performing thorough PA at the beginning of the hand off of care. Not one single nurse during my orientation as a new grad had a stethascope around their neck to ausculate lung, heart, bowel sounds. Not a single RN palapated a patient's abdomen or pedal pulses. When I started at a a new hospital as a new grad, my preceptor said to me as she observed me assess a patient "wow, that was a good and thorough physical assessment." I'm thinking to myself, this is what I was taught to do as a basic skill during my nursing school days at UIC.
I work on a tele unit and I am one of the few RNs who actually have a stethascope and calipers. Am I missing something? I know how important it is for a s/p lap cholect. patient to have bowel sounds but how can you assess bowel sounds if you don't have a stethascope. Asking a patient if they have passed gas is subjective. I need hard data.
So my question is, am I wasting my time physically assessing my patients? Granted I do a focused assessment based on their accuity and needs, but I will still inspect the feet of all my patients. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to reprioritize? I really need some help here because I'm a little confused after all of the time spent at UIC on physical assessment. I don't want to falsify documentation when the computer prompts me if I heard bowel sounds or not.......
- 13Aug 1, '09 by pinksugarUh, I have never worked on any floor where nurses don't assess their patients. That sounds pretty shady to me. You are not wasting your time doing them. I have caught many a problem and nipped it in the bud early by doing a complete physical assessment.
- 5Aug 1, '09 by SunnyAndrsnHow could you go wrong doing a physical exam of these basic systems? Other nurses have to worry about their licenses, you worry about yours. If you are checking off in an assessment that "lung sounds are clear" you can only know that if you auscultated their lungs. I too find it frustrating when I suspect other nurses around me are cutting corners.
- 0Aug 1, '09 by darkangel_05bI think alot of the 'older' nurses seem to get lazy in their ways and don't think that it is as important. However, I notice that the newer nurses seem to do a more thorough assessment. I guess they just get too relaxed in their work...
About the stethoscope... I don't know why anyone wouldn't carry theirs around...all of our nurses do (older and newer)...but granted, I work in a cardiac unit...
- 4Aug 2, '09 by jean36pls keep up with your complete physical assessment spirit, dont lag behind like many of us. the truth is many nurses don't do complete physical assessment and there are legitimate reasons in some cases and depending on the unit. however, it would always be prudent to do it.
- 4Aug 2, '09 by ONCRN84When I worked inpatient, I always listened to heart, lungs, abdomen, felt for pedal pulses/edema, pain level, and checked out their mouth (oncology floor). If I found something that was wonky, I investigated a little further into that system. You can't chart an assessment you never did...
- 1Aug 2, '09 by eriksolnMy first travel assignment ever was at a LTC facility in Baltimore. It had been a nursing home at one point but it was bought by a hospital that needed a place for pt's that were not recovering on the usual time schedule. I showed up my first day with my stethoscope around my neck ready to take on my patient load.
A couple midnight nurses (I was a day shift worker) joked about my stethoscope. At first I thought they were making a jab at the fact that it was a cardiac stethoscope (very expensive, but you could hear so clearly on it). Then a few of my fellow day shift nurses showed up. Some of the comments made at me:
"What do you need that for, you are not a doctor?"
"You travel nurses are such show offs."
"What are you going to do, wear that thing around your neck all day?"
"Do you wear that thing at home too?"
I continued to think they were making fun of the fact that I had such an expensive stethoscope. I expected to see them use the cheap hospital supplied ones for their assessments. We got report, I left to do my assessments and when I got back to start passing meds...................they were all completing their charting. Not one of them had moved from their chairs. They documented their "assessments" then passed meds and then continued to spend most of the day in the report room. They were so comfortable operating this way, they didnt even put on a show and bother with having stethoscopes or anything.
Another place I worked at later on in Tacoma was almost as bad. The nurses at least had stethoscopes, but they'd complete all their charting before even leaving the nurses station after getting report. They did a drive by assessment (just stand outside the door, make sure they are breathing).
- 1Aug 2, '09 by twinner2I agree with some of these earlier comments: Definitely do your assessments. I have been a nurse less than a year, and I do a PA on all of my patients. Corners should not be cut by forgoing an assessment on each patient.
Keep up the good work!
- 0Aug 2, '09 by RNperdiemThe assessments you describe are standard for my unit, we check those things and more every 2-4 hours.
I sometimes leave my stethescope in my bag.
Sometimes my unit has a lot of isolation patients, and you have to use the cheapie hospital provided stethescope found in each room, so there is no point carrying your own.
I am concerned that a new grad is not being taught to assess a patient the right way.
- 2Aug 2, '09 by OtessaHow can anyone chart"Meets Standards" if they haven't actually assessed their patient????
No PA?? I was a bedside nurse for over 15 years and I always did a full head to toe on my patients-I floated throughout the hospital-all different kinds of patients.
All I can say is WOW!!!

Kabimba and the Army Vehicle
An army vehicle parked at justice minister Wynter Kabimba's private offices at Lusaka Godfrey House is raising concern as to the minister's privileges.
Kabimba's private business is conducted at Godfrey House where his law firm offices are located in Lusaka.
"I have observed over the past few weeks that an army vehicle, with the registration number AB 809, is permanently parked in Wynter Kabimba's parking slot at Godfrey House," an eye witness reports.
"It is silver coloured sedan which is usually parked behind Kabimba's blue Isuzu pick up with the registration number ALR 7352 – a car he never had when he was in opposition by the way."
However, this has raised concern with those monitoring the activity wondering what the army car is doing at Kabimba's parking lot.
"As far as I am know, Kabimba is not entitled to use Zambia Army facilities either in his capacity as Minister of Justice or as PF Secretary General.
The source has wondered whether the army vehicle is providing an escort for Kabimba and why.
"Is he being threatened by anybody or being provided with special protection for some reason? Many of us in Godfrey House are privately very annoyed that dirty national politics is now being brought into our place of work and would like this situation sorted out," the source said.
Kabimba harbours presidential ambitions and considers himself the heir to the PF throne heavily backed by his sponsors Fred M'membe, Rajan Mahtani and Mutembo Nchito to take over in 2016.

A man who spun a tale of being a serial killer while working last fall on a Naperville woman's computer was convicted Tuesday of disorderly conduct in that case.
Michael M. Romanenko will perform 30 hours of community service work as part of his penalty in the incident, which Naperville police said left the woman and a neighbor "extremely frightened and shaken."
Romanenko, 42, of South Elgin, pleaded guilty Tuesday in the DuPage County Circuit Court system's Wheaton Field Court to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct/breach of peace.
Associate Judge Mary E. O'Connor accepted the plea and ordered Romanenko to perform the public service work, according to court records. O'Connor also placed Romanenko on an unspecified period of court supervision, and ordered him to have no further contact with either of the women, records showed.
Romanenko lost his job as an Internet technician following the Oct. 10 incident at the home of one of the women. Police redacted the woman's address from their official reports.
The homeowner, then 32, and a 23-year-old neighbor told police Romanenko came to the first woman's home about noon "for a pre-scheduled (computer) maintenance appointment."
Romanenko, shortly after arriving, called out in Russian to the homeowner's dog, according to police reports. The homeowner, who is fluent in Russian, "was very surprised at (Romanenko's) proficiency" in the language.
The police reports indicated Romanenko told the women he was born in the U.S. and learned Russian from his immigrant parents. He said while he was in school, "other children used to pick on him for his Russian heritage and language."
Romanenko "then related that this was the reason he became a serial killer," the police reports declared. "He explained to (the women) that, as a technician, it's easy to get into people's houses."
"He knocks on the front door, and when the resident goes (there,) he goes around to the back door, gains entry to the house, takes a knife and meets the resident in the bedroom," the report continued.
The women told Romanenko "this was not funny at all, and they were very disturbed by his story." The reports stated Romanenko began collecting his gear and told them, "I'm going to see you again."
As he left, Romanenko "turned, looked directly at (the women) and stated, 'See you, ladies.' At no time did (Romanenko) indicate that he was joking, and he never apologized for his story."
The women then went to the police station, where the homeowner "related that she (was) scared to go home, and (didn't) think she'll be able to get to sleep." The younger woman said she, too, was "very frightened by what (Romanenko) said."
"Both victims were extremely frightened and shaken, and their peace was most definitely disturbed by what the technician said," according to the reports. "Both victims feel as if they were directly threatened" by Romanenko.
The women "without any hesitation" identified Romanenko in separate photograph line-ups of potential suspects that were conducted at the police station. Further investigation led to Romanenko's being identified as having worked that day for Comcast as a contracted employee of American Cable & Telephone (ACT) of Aurora.
Romanenko later "submitted a written statement (to his supervisors,) admitting to being a part of the conversation" with the women, but said "he was just discussing television shows" with them, the report continued. "He denied saying that he was a serial killer."
ACT fired Romanenko following the incident. He previously had no significant criminal record.

Formerly one-half of the German DJ duo Wighnomy Brothers, Gabor Schablitzki is known by a number of monikers, but most notably as Robag Wruhme. A hard-drinking party DJ with a knack for reading and responding to pumped-up crowds, Wruhme is also an accomplished producer who individually crafted all of the tracks released under the Wighnomy name. Since the Brothers' breakup in 2009, he has focused on music production and touring worldwide as a solo DJ act. This year, Wruhme released a new album, Thora Vukk, on DJ Koze's Pampa Records, and a new DJ mix, Wuppdeckmischmampflow, on Michael Mayer's Kompakt imprint. Though he's often regarded as one of the flag-bearers for German techno, his diverse production work and DJ sets actually run the gamut from deep and tech-house to minimal.

The City of Rogers is issuing the results of monitoring done on its drinking water for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2012. The purpose of this report is to advance consumers' understanding of drinking water and heighten awareness of the need to protect precious water resources.
This report is not being mailed directly to all customers. If you would like to request a copy of the CCR please contact the City of Rogers at 763-428-8580.
Source of Water
The City of Rogers provides drinking water to its residents from a groundwater source: six wells ranging from 356 to 374 feet deep, that draw water from the Ironton-Galesville, Franconia-Ironton-Galesville, and Ironton-Galesville-Eau Claire aquifers.
The water provided to customers may meet drinking water standards, but the Minnesota Department of Health has also made a determination as to how vulnerable the source of water may be to future contamination incidents. If you wish to obtain the entire source water assessment regarding your drinking water, please call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours. Also, you can view it on line at www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/swp/swa.
Call 763-428-8580 if you have questions about the City of Rogers drinking water or would like information about opportunities for public participation in decisions that may affect the quality of the water.
Results of Monitoring
No contaminants were detected at levels that violated federal drinking water standards. However, some contaminants were detected in trace amounts that were below legal limits. The table that follows shows the contaminants that were detected in trace amounts last year. (Some contaminants are sampled less frequently than once a year; as a result, not all contaminants were sampled for in 2013. If any of these contaminants were detected the last time they were sampled for, they are included in the table along with the date that the detection occurred.)
Key to abbreviations:
MCLG─Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
MCL─Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
MRDL─Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level.
MRDLG─Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal.
AL─Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirement which a water system must follow.
90th Percentile Level─This is the value obtained after disregarding 10 percent of the samples taken that had the highest levels. (For example, in a situation in which 10 samples were taken, the 90th percentile level is determined by disregarding the highest result, which represents 10 percent of the samples.) Note: In situations in which only 5 samples are taken, the average of the two with the highest levels is taken to determine the 90th percentile level.
pCi/l─PicoCuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity).
ppm─Parts per million, which can also be expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/l).
ppb─Parts per billion, which can also be expressed as micrograms per liter (μg/l).
nd─No Detection.
N/A─Not Applicable (does not apply).
Contaminant (units)
Level Found
Typical Source of Contaminant
Alpha Emitters (pCi/l)
Erosion of natural deposits.
Erosion of natural deposits; Runoff from orchards; Runoff from glass and electronics production wastes.
Barium (ppm)
Discharge of drilling wastes; Discharge from metal refineries; Erosion of natural deposits.
Combined Radium (pCi/l)
Fluoride (ppm)
State of Minnesota requires all municipal water systems to add fluoride to the drinking water to promote strong teeth; Erosion of natural deposits; Discharge from fertilizer and aluminum factories.
TTHM (Total trihalomethanes) (ppb)
By-product of drinking water disinfection.
*This is the value used to determine compliance with federal standards. It sometimes is the highest value detected and sometimes is an average of all the detected values. If it is an average, it may contain sampling results from the previous year.
Chlorine (ppm)
Water additive used to control microbes.
****Highest and Lowest Monthly Average.*****Highest Quarterly Average.
90% Level
# sites over AL
Copper (ppm)
0 out of 20
Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits.
Lead (ppb)
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Rogers is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLs established for them and are not required to be monitored under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Results may be available by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 during normal business hours.
Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immune-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

I like this eyeliner a lot. It is good for getting very close to the lash line and stays put on the waterline. It has good lasting power and is automatic so there is no need to sharpen. Not very expensive, just a little more than drugstore and well worth it.

Best eyeliner ever.
Tried all dept store brands over the years.
I love this liner.
Amethyst is the bomb on my blue eyes.
Black is too dark.
Brown brings out red.
This is dark enough to be really neutral and perfect.
Goes on smoothly, no need to press hard AT ALL.
Goes on with saturated color.
Stays on.
For $10, good buy!

I have used these for years then strayed away for a while. I always thought they had one of the best liners on the market for the price. I recently have picked up several colors again (e-bay) due to the pro case. It makes a perfect travel case for makeup and everything fits perfectly in it. I love the magnetic part that holds the product. I'm using these liners again for travel because they are compact and fit in the case. The liner is easy to use and stays on nicely.

This is my first liquid eyeliner I've bought. I'm an off-and-on again MK rep (meaning I'm only "Active" when I put in an order, which is only every 4-5 months).
It's a felt tipped liner, and stands up on its own with its flat bottom. The barrel is cute, the wand being nice and long and thin enough to handle with ease.
Maybe it's just me, but you have to start with a thin line first then try and go over it again to make it thicker. And actually, the first eye made up doesn't look as good as the second eye done with the same wand (ie not dipped back into the barrel for more product). It's like there's too much product at the tip(which is a very thin tip), and the look I get comes off as "sharp" and not as subtle as I get if the wand dries a bit, like when I'm doing the other eye. I can't get close enough to my lashes when doing the first eye, and it's really obvious. Not so with the second eye, when some of the product is used up/dries up after doing the first eye.
My other gripe that's related to this is that over time, the formula goes on a little gloppy so that I have to swipe the felt tip on a piece of tissue before using it. Waste of product, if you ask me, but I wouldn't want to touch it to my eyelid first! That's the stage where I'm at now.
I thought I'd repurchase this product, since I get a discount on it, being a Consultant, but I could spend those same dollars and get something better. For $10, my sister uses L'oreal's Lineur Intense and she loves it so much. Since I'm trying to move from pencil liner (never found one that has the staying power) to liquid, I'll be trying that one next.
So although the colour of this one stays on all day, and it still comes off easy at nighttme, I won't be repurchasing this until I check out the L'Oreal liner.

Applied smoothly and the color was VERY dark and intense but it smudges like crazy on me. This disappeared from my waterline by the end of the day and creased all over my lid. If you have oily lids, skip this liner.

I liked this eyeliner at first. I bought it because of the no sharpening quality but agree with the other reviews that once you use it use rounded at the tip and you get a fatter application than the first time. I much rather sharpen a pencil and have my eyes look great than use this stuff and get an overly dramatic look. The only plus to this stuff is that it comes in a lot of colors, (but what eyeliner doesnt?) I have green eyes so I bought the violet color. Its very subtle and makes my eyes pop, but I just wish it was in a pencil form. It does glide on easily, but I noticed it smudged a little bit by the end of the night.

I use Mary Kay eyeliner in brown. I personally like the twist up design (no sharpening - yay!), but that does mean you will never be able to get a sharp, crisp line with this liner. It is good if you like a softer look. So far, mine has been gliding on really nicely with no tugging of the skin.

The quality is decent... it stays put, doesn't tend to smear, goes on easily while it's new (it seems to dry out somewhat quickly, though, at which point it refuses to be applied).
I just HATE the packaging. The twist-up pen? Horrible. Sure, it doesn't need sharpening, but the flip side of that is that it's NEVER sharp. Once you've used up the somewhat sharpness of the brand-new tip, you'll never again have the option of a precise line. It'll always be a dull, rounded tip. I suppose you could use it if you intend to smudge it right afterwards (but be sure you do that before it sets, it'll be darn hard to move it afterwards) but I like fine lines.
The other bad thing about the packaging is that it's really flimsy in your purse. If you intend to carry this around in your bag, think again. A few knocks around against the other items in your purse, and the cap starts to become cracked, eventually becoming so loose that it no longer stays on the pencil. So I tend to end up with little brown smudges all on the inside of my bag. I had to resort to a piece of scotch tape around the cap, so it'd stay in place.
This is the same packaging used for the lip liner and the brow pencils. I dislike them all for the same reason.

Amazing Race 13 Awards Ceremony
December 08, 2008, 08:47:54 AM »
Well, another season is in the books and it is time for the awards for this season.
First up, the Jonathan Award. This prestigious award goes to the racer or team that best demonstrates abuse and/or genuine hatred for their teammate.
On this season, there was not much hate to go around, which saddens me to a degree because it is always fun to see a team fall apart in front of you.
However, the nominees for the Jonathan Award are:
Ken and Tina, for their small, but predictable fights at least once a leg.
Dan, for his constant insulting of Andrew, mostly regarding his ability to walk quickly.
Terrence and Sarah, for their unprecedented arguing from the first leg, right up to their elimination in Kazakhstan.
And the winner of the Jonathan Award is...
Terrence and Sarah!
Next up is the Weaver Award. This award goes to the racer or team that best embodies the spirit of the Weaver family and draws the hatred of the other teams.
In a race with little hate, their is only one nominee.
Nick and Starr earn the award after siding with Ken and Tina to draw in hate, then pushing sports bra's off ledges to seal the deal.
Next is the Fran and Barry award. Every season the Fran and Barry award is given to the team that proves themselves to be the best at missing crucial things on the racecourse.
In a season full of mistakes, this was a difficult award to place.
The nominees for the Fran and Barry award are:
Terence and Sarah, for passing by several clueboxes on the race.
Mark and Bill, for mis-reading their clue in Bolivia, which ultimately caused their elimination.
Kelly and Christy, for their repeated errors when it came to reading clues, most notably twice in one leg.
And the winner of the Fran and Barry award is:
Kelly and Christy, with what has to be a record number of errors throughout the race.
Next is the Kynt and Vyxsin Award, which goes to the team that stands out like a pimple on a pumpkin. For this award, there can only be one winner, and they are:
Anita and Arthur, for their fantastic tie-dye shirts and their great attitude towards their only leg.
Next up is the Charla Award, which every season is given to the racer or team that goes well beyond the expectations of other racers and the fans of the show. Previous winners of the Charla Award include Donald, Meredith and Gretchen and Charla herself.
The nominees for the Charla Award are:
Toni, for performing well beyond what many expected to be a hindrance to Dallas.
Sarah, for being able to consistently outpace some of the faster men of the race, something which has never been witnessed before on the race.
Andrew and Dan, for simply making the final three in circumstances that nobody thought possible.
The winner of the Charla Award is:
Toni! Time and time again Toni pushed herself beyond what many thought would be her limit. On the race, Toni proved that age is just a state of mind and was always right there with Dallas every step of the way.
Next, the infamous Romber Award.
Ever since All-Stars, the Romber Award has been given to the racer or team that succeeds in letting the fans down. Ever since Rob and Amber's miserable finish on the all-star edition, teams have followed their lead and continued to disappoint.
The nominees for the Romber Award are:
Terence, for being a bigger girl than Sarah on the race, and having her look after his every need. Special attention is brought to the quote "Can you blow on it?" When Terence suffered a minor cut to the head. (NOTE: This has nothing to do with the meat eating Fast Forward. I have nothing but respect for Terence not wanting to sell out his morals.)
Mark and Bill, for their less than impressive 9th place finish after looking really strong early on in the race. Their failure to read their clue correctly, and Mark's altitude sickness were the major players in this drama.
Anthony and Stephanie, for finishing in a much worse position than many expected. Prior to the race, many would have looked at the two and predicted them to go far. Two legs was far enough for them in the end.
And the winner of the Romber Award is:
Anthony and Stephanie. Sorry, but there is just no excuses for not being able to lift beyond tenth, given some of the HUGE mistakes made by teams in that leg.
Next is the Hendekea Award, which every season is given to the team that makes the biggest blunder when it comes to airports. This season, several teams made bids for the award in the very first leg, but the award has to go to the team that made this mistake first.
Andrew and Dan are the winners of the Hendekea Award.
And finally, the Steve and Dave Award, named in honour of Steve and Dave who in every leg, except the one they were eliminated in, came in second last. This award is unique in that it is totally objective and is based purely on the numbers and not perceptions.
The winners of the Steve and Dave Award for Season Thirteen are Andrew and Dan.
Bring on Season Fourteen and the next set of Amazing Racey's

coutzy, I will step up to the bar and comment on your awards. I find them highly entertaining. I would have picked different teams for:
Jonathan Award - Terence and Sarah do not merit this. It should have gone to Andrew and Dan.
Weaver Award - I have a totally different view of Nick/Starr. They were not hated by the other teams(except for Kelly/Christy whose hatred of Nick/Starr did not appear to be grounded in reality, but that was typical of them); they were feared at very strong and sneaky competitors.
Romber Award - it is not important what happened to Stephanie and Anthony since they were not going anywhere in this race in any event. However, Bill and Mark had genuine aspirations and would have gone a long way in this race given the opportunity. I think Bill and Mark have earned this award.
Hendekea Award - I guess you missed the Video Extra clip(first one in the Finale series) about how Ken and Tina allowed a taxi driver to take them all the way to Sheremetyevo airport at 4am in the final hours before the one flight that would connect for morning arrival in Portland. Unfortunately, that flight left from Domodedovo airport which is on the opposite side of the Moscow suburbs. They were very lucky that they were had enough time (thanks to a 7 hour pitstop) to change course and get to the right airport. It could have cost them a level start in Portland coming off the plane. This award unquestionably goes to Ken and Tina. The airport blunder by Andrew and Dan was so minor that I can't remember what it was.
However, I would have picked the same on the other half of your awards.

We did discover from Anthony and Stephanie that during their elimination episode, their photographer lost most of their tape due to an equipment malfunction so about 60-75% of what was shot before they hit the mat was gone. That is what happened and that is why we did not see them for most of the episode.
Just here to visit.

(New York, N.Y., April 9, 2009) — René Hen, Ph.D., of Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute, has been selected by NARSAD, the leading charity for research on mental health disorders, to receive its prestigious Distinguished Investigator Award.
The one-year grant will provide Dr. Hen, professor of pharmacology in the departments of psychiatry and neuroscience, with $100,000 to advance his research on stimulation of brain cell grown to produce antidepressant effects in both rodent models and human subjects.
He is one of 16 outstanding scientists receiving NARSAD's 2009 Distinguished Investigator Award. This highly competitive grant program is designed for investigators of brain and psychiatric disorders who have established themselves as leaders in their fields.
Dr. Hen will test the hypothesis that stimulation of cell growth in the brain's hippocampus produces antidepressant effects in both rodent models of depression and in human subjects. Dr. Hen proceeds from the hypothesis that antidepressants stimulate neurogenesis in the human hippocampus and that this effect contributes to the antidepressant response. Specifically, he hopes to prove that patients who respond to an antidepressant treatment will display increased hippocampal neurogenesis while those who do not respond behaviorally will display no increase in neurogenesis.
Preliminary results based on novel imaging methods indicate that cerebral blood volume (CBV) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) may provide biomarkers for hippocampal neurogenesis both in mice and in men. He proposes to further validate these biomarkers in rodents by demonstrating that manipulations that reduce neurogenesis result in a decrease in CBV and in a specific peak in the MRS spectra, and, conversely, that manipulations that increase neurogenesis result in an increase in CBV and MRS.
He will also analyze changes in CBV and MRS spectra in patients treated with antidepressants, expecting that both biomarkers will increase only in patients who display a response to antidepressants. The project represents a significant paradigm shift in that it aims at translating basic findings regarding adult hippocampal neurogenesis from rodents to humans.
"Dr. Hen's work has the potential to be applied by various investigators as a bold new set of techniques that may have relevance for several forms of severe mental illness including depression as well as schizophrenia," commented Jack Barchas, M.D., chairman of the department of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College and chair of the NARSAD Scientific Council committee that selected the winning proposals. The council is comprised of 110 leaders in psychiatric and neuroscience research who are charged with annually reviewing the proposals NARSAD receives and recommending grant projects for funding.
NARSAD's 2009 Distinguished Investigator Award recipients are involved in a wide variety of vital research projects, ranging from the genetics of mental illness to innovative brain imaging studies. Their work will bring new scientific insight to such conditions as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and childhood psychiatric and developmental disorders, as well as other disorders affecting adults and children.
This year's class of Distinguished Investigators represents a balanced portfolio of outstanding proposals, covering everything from basic science to clinical applications that could be directly relevant to challenges faced in the field of psychiatry today," said Herbert Pardes, M.D., president of the Scientific Council, who is also president and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. "What also makes this group of grants so essential to the advancement of mental health research is the breadth of experience that each scientist brings with them into each project. The caliber of their professionalism, their creative instinct and superb track records point to an exciting time in research that will hopefully lead to remarkable new discoveries."
The Distinguished Investigator Award was created to support highly significant research by established scientists—full professors or their equivalent—who are on the cusp of a breakthrough, or who are poised to test an innovative idea that has the potential to make a significant advance in a given area of research.

Emerging-Market ADRs: Winners and Losers
2. Silvercorp Metals (SVM) engages in the acquisition, exploration, development and mining of high-grade, silver-related mineral properties in China and Canada. The company operates four silver-lead-zinc mines at the Ying Mining Camp in China's Henan Province. The stock gained 14.8% last week.
Of the five analysts covering the stock, 80% recommend a buy on it. Analysts polled by Bloomberg expect the stock to gain an average 46.7% to $15.79 in the upcoming 12 months.
Last week, the company reported the results of three technical reports updating the resources and reserves at its SGX, HPG and TLP-LM silver-lead-zinc mines in the Ying Mining District in Henan Province, China. The combined proven and probable reserves in the three mines are 58 million ounces of silver, 309,338 tons of lead, and 86,920 tons of zinc, and 16,885 ounces of gold in 6.6 million tons of ore.Commenting on the reserve update, BMO Capital Markets said that there is potential for further resource upgrades with exploration. Also, it has raised its price target on the stock to $19.29 from $19.18. Separately, the company has updated resources at its Silvertip silver-lead-zinc project in British Columbia, Canada. This 2011 resource update, which is based on 10,913 meters in 36 diamond drill holes completed in fall 2010, estimates 4.17 million tons grading 261 g/t silver (Ag), 4.87% lead (Pb), and 8.50% zinc (Zn), containing in situ 35 million ounces of silver, 203,050 tons of lead, and 354,327 tons of zinc.

It's no secret that I am a rather odd character. I wear obnoxious shoes; I talk way too much and tend to do some rather stupid things.
But through all my follies, Mr. Me has been there.
He's been my champion, my supporter and even the buyer of my most ridiculous socks.
With the patience of not so typical male, he answers my repeatedly obscene questions, shows me how to fix a truck and how to plant corn. He also taught me how to do a J slide for fun and how to maneuver a two wheel drive truck through the thickest of mud.
Without his guidance I'd have never learned how to shoot straight, drive straight and think straight.
Because of him, I've grown up in the most important way. He's taught me to not be so bitchy, to accept people for who they are and that not every person who cuts me off in traffic is out to get me personally.
He's one hell of a man and if you ever run into Mr. Me on the street, feel free to shake his hand and tell him he has the patience of a saint for putting up with me.

Since upgrading to the March release the cover manager has picked up on a couple of problems with cover - anybody else seeing these?
1: The number of activities requiring cover differs from what actually needs covering - this week it's less, next week it's more!???!
2: Non-teaching staff now appear in the cover diary - they didn't before, could this just be a tickbox somewhere?
I've got a case logged, but just wondering if it's just me!

Ecce Homo church priest faces sex charges

A PRIEST at the controversial Sanctuary of Mercy church has been charged with fraud and alleged sexual assault.
Florencio Garces, 70, is one of six men to have been arrested by the Civil Guard as part of a fraud investigation.
He has been charged with embezzlement of €210,000, money laundering and a string of sexual offences.
The church hit the headlines following a botched renovation of a painting of Jesus Christ, named Ecce Homo, carried out by local artist Cecilia Gimenez.
The 80-year-old earned herself the title of the worst restorer in history and a bold, if brutal, restorer of other people´s works.
The picture became a laughing stock and a well-established internet meme.
The church – in Borja, Zaragoza – has since cashed in on the painting's new popularity and has started charging visitors – it raised €2,000 in the first week.
Tourists have continued to flock to the church, boosting the church's coffers by around €50,000.
A lawyer for the priest said the charges were unrelated to the Ecce Homo incident.

Oman's general consumer price index (CPI) rose by 1.1% to the end of December 2013, compared to 2012 year-end figures, Oman Daily Observer has reported. The rise in inflation was attributed to the increase in food prices, which witnessed an overall rise of 2.8% in 2013, compared with 2012 figures. The largest contributors were vegetables, up by 8.4%, fish and seafood up by 7.3%, and fruit, which rose by 4.4% in 2013.

Supplies Needed
- 3M painters tape.
- Xacto Knife
- Pen
- Slick surface cutting tray (something that you can peel the tape on and off, without it sticking like hell. For mine, I use an old Subway tray.)
Step 1
Make sure your tray is clean. Peel off a strip of tape and stick it on your tray. I tend to make sure the center of the tape is secure, but leave the edges loose so when I am ready to peel, it's easy to get. Depending on the size of your stencil, you may have to overlap a couple pieces of tape. In my case, I used two.
Step 2
Now, take your pen and trace the outline of your stencil. I traced a "digi" stencil.
Step 3
Now that you have your stencil traced onto your tape, take out your Xacto and cut along your trace lines. When you cut, make sure you connect each slice, this will save you trouble in the end. Cut as accurate and straight as you can. You are applying this to your gear after all.
Step 4
You have your stencil cut around the trace lines. Excellent! Taking the edge of your tape, carefully peel the excess tape off from around your stencil. If you connected each slice, the tape should peel away easily leaving your stencil on the cutting tray.
Here is my finished product. I will leave the stencil on the tray and repeat the process until I have no room left. Then, when you paint your marker, or whatever else, you can just pack your tray along with you, pick whatever stencils you want for that color, and apply. Then repeat the process for each new color.
It isn't as time consuming as you may think. Once you get on a roll, it goes pretty quick. I hope this helps someone out there.

South Sudan rebel leader in Ethiopia for talks
Addis Ababa, 9 May 2014 (WIC) - South Sudan's rebel leader arrived in Ethiopia on Thursday, an official said, one day ahead of his first face-to-face meeting with the president since mass violence began in December.
The Friday talks will be the first time the leaders of South Sudan's two warring sides have met since ethnically targeted violence broke out in December, killing thousands of people and forcing millions to flee their homes.
The talks between President Salva Kiir and his former vice president, Riek Machar, are expected to last one day.
South Sudan broke away from Sudan in 2011 after decades of conflict with the Khartoum government.
Tewolde Gebremeskel, a top official of the regional bloc IGAD, confirmed Machar's arrival in Ethiopia. Machar was to travel on to Addis Ababa, the capital, later Thursday.
The leaders' talks should include an outline for an inclusive transitional government, Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende said in an interview. Norway is involved in trying to find a diplomatic solution to South Sudan's conflict.
"Otherwise, there will be consequences that will follow. We will increase our pressure on the parties. Even tougher measures will follow in the coming weeks if there is no political will to solve the crisis," he said.
The U.S. announced sanctions this week against two men involved in the fighting in South Sudan, one loyal to Kiir and one loyal to Machar. The move appears to be a warning to the leaders that more far-reaching sanctions are being considered.
South Sudan Information Minister Michael Lueth said on Wednesday that his government's priority is to first stop the violence. Later talks could be held about a transitional charter, he said.
Brende said Norway will host a donor conference May 20 to assist with humanitarian needs in South Sudan. (AP)

So I am in a Best Buy in Chicago and...
What other Bronco fan discussions have you had with perfect strangers?
I need to buy my 10 year old a USB cable for her laptop. It is just me a 5 year old and a 10 year old and I am sore from driving and grumpier than I thought I was. We are checking out and the kid behind the cash register says something about my Bronco jacket. I was distracted trying to keep track of the 5 year old and it took a couple extra beats before I got what he said.
Turned out the kid was a Bronco fan and not a duh bears fan mocking me, we ended up having a nice conversation about losing Doom and getting some nice FA pieces and I felt bad for blowing him off at 1st, he was a nice kid. He asked if we were going to upgrade our RB's, If I wasn't with the kids I would have used all my KM jokes on him.
Got me curious as to what other run in's yous guys (reading lots of Raymond Chandler and Nelson Algren) have had with other Bronco fans in unexpected places?
In the Navy I had to room with a Raiders fan from Wyoming. It was back when we were crushing them every year, so it wasn't so bad.
Strange that I just ran into him at DU the other day... he's in Law School at Sturm.
I had a buddy in Pittsburgh who was a Seahawks fan. Got to talk about the AFC West with him, and give him a hard time about liking the Seahawks.
I ran into a poster from the Mane in an elevator in Oak Brook outside of Chicago when I was on my way to a Blackhawk game. He saw my leather Bronco jacket (same one I had on today) and we got to talking. Turned out he was a couple rows behind me at the 2007(?) Broncos/duh bears game in Chicago.
I was in the stall and farted. I sais loudly,"just trying to push out this Raider!" Then it was a conversation between 4 stalls having a 10 minute smack talk holding up the lines. I was just hiding out until halftime was over at the LA Coliseum and the Faiders fans went back to their seats. True story if you believe bull****.
Just tonight at dinner a guy from Denver stopped me after he saw my polo.
I don't talk to strangers... Stranger danger
I ran into Steve Largent at the DFW airport the other day. We have talked before, and went to the same school (University of Tulsa). He has always been a friendly and gracious person to meet out in public.
I drove down the Baja from Long Beach to Cabo in '03. We were in LaPaz, which is a surprisingly large city (maybe 3-400,000 people?) about 75% of the way down. Anyway, a local guy stopped me on the street because I had a Broncos hat on, and started a very detailed, intelligent conversation about the team. Berlein (sp) was the backup QB at the time, and I drew a blank on his name and the guy had to remind me. It was November, and he was starting instead of Griese that weekend. It was kind of embarassing that he was more on top of it than me, but also kind of cool. We are everywhere.
I was in a stripclub just outside St Louis and there was a gorgeous stripper there and while I'm damn near drooling on myself, I notice she has a Broncos tattoo on her hip or back. I noted it as being awesome but didn't do or say anything but then a year or so later, I'm back at the same club and she's there again but covered up. I asked if she was the Broncos girl because someone there didn't believe it was the same girl and she said she was and sat down to talk Broncos football for a while. I don't recall a thing we talked about because I was drunk off my ass and she was naked but I could've died that day and had no regrets.
Fast forward to this past Christmas time and I'm having coffee with my dad at the local cafe one morning in Hillbillyville, Missouri and there's a girl there that looks about 19 and by local standards, quite stunning. I'd say a 7 or 8 anywhere else and dressed quite sexily so after seeing whales and inbreds for a week, I'm checking her out bigtime. She's sitting with an old lady and after a few minutes of checking her out subtly, I notice the young girl pointing my direction and saying something to the old lady. I'm feeling pretty good and trying to play it cool so when the old lady walks over to me, I start getting ready to break the terrible news that I'm married and off the market. The old lady then proceeds to tell me that she likes the Broncos sweatshirt I'm wearing, that she grew up in Greeley as a lifelong Broncos fan, and I see the hottie walk out the door. She then proceeded to try to talk football like any 65-70 year old woman does as I fought the urge to be spiteful and correct every mistake because she could barely pick a football out of a lineup.
Couple of years ago, I was in BC fishing . We went on the ferry to Victoria. I was wearing my Bronocs' hat. One of lady stewards asked about the Broncos. She and her husband were big Broncos' fans. She asked whether Cutler would improve, and thought the Broncos would win the Diviison that year. They were going to the game in Seattle that year. It was a great experience to talk with her. It solidified my impression that Canadians were just Americxans who paid different taxes.
Secondly, Gene Kranz.
Love British Columbia. Mum is from there and beautiful area. I have not been since World Fair in 86. Time to go back.
Had an interesting conversation in Boston last weekend with a bunch of Patriots fans talking about how they were suddenly glad that Welker is gone, how much better Amendola is, and how "Tawmmy made him look good in the first place."
I laughed. Then, when I got home, I mailed my buddy an orange Welkaaaaaah jersey. Because **** him, is why.
[QUOTE=broncosteven;3822255]What other Bronco fan discussions have you had with perfect strangers?
the best buy by the hancock tower?
I was flying from Detroit to Lincoln, NE, through St. Louis, It was Christmas Day, the airline, which I can't remember but hub was stl (twa?) had a worker "slow down" they got me to stl but flight to Lincoln was cancelled, I went to the smokers lounge and another couple in there was wearing bronco hear, started talking and they were heading to Lincoln also, we ended up getting on a flight to Omaha and shared a rental car to Lincoln. Total strangers, but broncos bonded us
Two weeks ago I was in Nashville on business. I had my Broncos jacket on when we went to dinner. The valet guy immediately noticed and started asking me about the Elvis situation (Dumervil, not Presley - this was the night before the fax machine incident) -- turned out that the valet is a huge PMFM and Bronco fan. He said Elway made him a Denver fan, he loved PM from his college days and now he has the best of both worlds. We had about a 3 minute conversation before my colleagues pulled me in to eat. It was cool - just a random guy in Tennessee.
Took the family to the Field Museum in December and when we were getting our coats checked the guy at the counter noticed my Broncos shirt and started a conversation as he was a fan too.
I hope you didn't actually waste money on buying an HDMI cable from a big box store.
You have to be careful with Amazon's prices, there are some things that they beat prices on and yet other things (namely Car parts) that they are terribly overpriced on.
There are a lot of Bronco fans in San Luis Obispo. Met s couple of guys working on a sign on the main street (beautiful, BTW). One of the ladies inb a store was from Northern Colorado. Great folks out there, along with the Beaches, Beer and Babes.......

Recent Santa Fe Reviews
This property was everything I was looking for when picking a place to stay in Santa Fe. It is basically a one-bedroom apartment with a fireplace and spectacular mountain views. My mom and I wanted something peaceful and relaxing and we found it here. In the morning I sat outside with a cup of coffee and looked out into the mountains. At night I did the same thing with a glass of wine. When I no longer wanted to be on the front balcony I sat in the courtyard, which is lovely. The jetted tub was great. Almost every night I sat in the tub and relaxed. The apartment is part of a house but it has its own entrance, parking area, and porch. Even in the courtyard which is shared with the owners you have complete privacy. It is a 15-20 minute drive to town, and is close to the main highways so it was easy to get around. It is worth the extra money. I don't mind the extra expense at all.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

- The Company has 463 U.S. commercial and global named patient prescriptions for JUXTAPID written, and 215 patients are currently on JUXTAPID therapy.
- Approximately six months into the U.S. commercial launch of JUXTAPID, the company has experienced a patient dropout rate of less than 10 percent; and compliance with therapy has been in the range of 80 to 90 percent, factoring in all reasons for patient non-compliance including gastrointestinal tolerability and LFT elevations.

A book with bite and "a gem of a heroine"- third in the series from the author of Dead Sexy.
It's been one heck of a week for Garnet Lacey. The Vatican witch hunters finally think she's dead, the FBI has closed their file on her, she's co-founding a new coven - and the gorgeous vampire she loves has just asked her to marry him. How lucky can one girl get? Then, her fiance goes missing and Garnet's worried sick. Has he been kidnapped? Or could he have run off with that blonde from the coven? Now Garnet will have to seek the help of her future stepson - the same brat who turned her over to the witch hunters for a brand-new Jaguar. But there's more bad news: the Goddess Lilith, who camps out in her body, has been making embarrassing appearances. And on top of that, some killer's on her tail...
©2008 Lyda Morehouse (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
Love this site! I have a very busy job, so listening to audio books enables me to keep up on great stories!
"Garnet is good and all, but she's no Jane Jameson!"
Sure if I was bored.
The Jane Jameson series, and unfortunately, this book wasn't even close.
Her voices are fun, original, and distinct.
Not bad, maybe if I hadn't listened to the Jane Jameson series first, I would have more passion for this book.
