- Scratchgravel Road
- By Tricia Fields. Minotaur Books. 308 pp. $24.99.
- A body in the desert, a decommissioned nuclear weapons plant, torrential rain, and two endangered women are just a few of the problems confronting small-town police chief Josie Gray. Fields, whose debut novel "The Territory" won the Tony Hillerman Prize, stretches her wings in this nifty police porcedural set in the West Texas borderlands. Fans of Nevada Barr and J.A. Jance will welcome Gray to the sorority of tough, smart, and empathetic female detectives. [ ]
- Things are getting hot for small town police chief Josie Grey, and its not because of the oppressive summer heat in the tiny Texas town of Artemis. A dead body scarred with mysterious lesions, a heat stroke victim who wontor cant--- say why she was out wandering in the desert, and a nuclear power plant clean-up company with a hidden agenda are all adding up to something beyond business as usualand when the torrential rains threaten to unleash decades of nuclear waste stored at the old power plant, things really get interesting. Tricia Fields delivers a very readable yarn with plenty of plot twists in this second outing for Chief Josie Grey, first introduced in the Hillerman Award-winner The Territory. [ ]
- Sister Rabbit's Tricks
- By Emmett "Shkeme" Garcia. University of New Mexico Press. 40 pp. $18.95.
- This trickster tale is inspired by one of the many rabbit
stories of the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico.
While I enjoyed the story, I was put off by the amateur illustrations so will not pick it as a SWBY. [ ]
- Son, The
- By Philipp Meyer. Ecco/HarperCollins Publisher. 561 pp. $27.99.
- Eli McCullough, born in the year of Texas independence, learns a fundamental lesson from the people who killed his family and took him captive as a child: "It had become clear to me that the lives of the rich and famous were not so different from the lives of the Comanches: you did what you pleased and answered to no one." In this breathtakingly original novel, Meyer explodes our cherished myths of frontier settlement as Eli amasses a fortune in cattle and oil, leaving a finely crafted cast of McCullough descendants to deal with the consequences of an old man's obsession. With humor and pathos, Meyer challenges the American dream of wealth and power and assesses the cost of success for the winners and losers. [ ]
- Philipp Meyer takes history by the horns this epic saga of the McCulloughs, a family dynasty descended from the first white male born in the newly-established Republic of Texas. Through the simultaneously-told accounts of patriarch Eli, his grandson, Peter, and his great-great-granddaughter, Jeanne, the mythology of the American West is parsed to reveal the resilience and determination of the players, but also (and more importantly) the unfathomable greed, racism and awful violence that marked the struggle for dominance. Kidnapped by Comanches as a boy, pragmatic Eli knows no particular loyalty, raiding with his native captors as freely as with the Rangers. By contrast, Peter is handicapped by his own humanity and rendered a family outcast, and Jeanne eschews fulfilling relationships in her dogged pursuit of recognition in a business world blind to women. Guggenheim Award-winner Meyer delivers an account that is as mesmerizing as it is harrowing. [ ]
- Spider Woman's Daughter
- By , Anne Hillerman. HarperCollins. 320 pp. $25.99.
- Picking up where her late father Tony left off, Hillerman gives us a new episode in the Leaphorn and Chee stories. Her first novel (she has published several other books) starts with a bang, literally, as Officer Bernadette Manuelito (now Mrs. Jim Chee) watches helplessly through a restaurant window as Lieutenant Leaphorn is gunned down in a parking lot. Hillerman has room for improvement to become the magnificent storyteller her father was, but this is a good start in that development. [ ]
- Sunland
- By Don Waters. University of Nevada Press. 208 pp. $25.95.
- Hes unemployed and broken-hearted, but Sid Dulaneys no criminal and he certainly didnt set out to be a drug runner when he left Massachusetts and his two-timing girlfriend and came back to Tucson to care for his Grandma. But the rent for his beloved Grandmas assisted living wont pay itself, so to keep her in comfort he makes regular forays into Mexico to smuggle out cut-rate medications for her quirky neighbors in the retirement village. Sid is an anti-hero for our times, flying beneath the Border Patrol radar in an un-air conditioned Honda Civic while dodging a decidedly off-beat Mexican drug lord, all for the most compassionate of reasons. Dan Waters, winner of the Iowa Short Fiction Award, offers a first novel rich in quirky characters and gentle humor, and its a charming and very readable take on filial love triumphant. [ ]

Discover all that is South Dakota
Did you know that South Dakota has two of the world's longest caves? Jewel Cave is the third longest cave in the world and Wind Cave is the fifth longest cave in the world. This size ranking changes periodically as cave exploration around the world is ongoing. Both of these caves reside in a limestone layer that is said to be millions of years old. That layer is called the Paha Sapa formation. Paha Sapa is a Lakota word that means hills of black or Black Hills. Did you known that there was an uplift from deep in the earth that pushed it's way though that limestone layer? That uplift was molten rock that formed granite. One of the granite formations is now the home of Mount Rushmore.
South Dakota is also the home of the Badlands and the world's only Corn Palace. The Badlands contain one of the worlds largest deposits of fossil remains.
South Dakota is a place of discovery with scenery around every corner. The horses in the photo to the left are but one example. They were spotted next to the Bad River west of the inlet to the Missouri River.
The photo was taken in the summer of 2011 during the flooding on the Missouri. The Bad River had receded at this location west of Fort Pierre, South Dakota. Heavy rains throughout early summer keep the pastures and prairie land very green.
At the Oahe Dam and within the city of Pierre the affects of the flood are obvious. Sandbags create a peculiar site as you drive around Pierre and Fort Pierre.
I pledge loyalty and support to the flag and State of South Dakota, land of sunshine, land of infinite variety.
Our state flag and seal are symbols of the proud heritage we as South Dakotans are privileged to enjoy. It is proper that the people be aware of the history relating to the adoption of these official emblems.

These kids drank like Prohibition were lurking around the corner, and the girls they dated would have ended up in magazines even if they didn't have famous boyfriends. They had the kind of obvious good time that jealousy thrives on, a roving party that tends to obscure the reason they're able to have it in the first place. They made the papers just by showing up somewhere. Still, all they cared about was the music. Making it, being fans of it, everything and then some.
When it came to their songs, they were thieves, sure, but they were honest ones, owning up to every nicked riff, every burglarized idea, every plundered influence. Accuse these young guys of musical larceny, and they'd show you all the stuff you missed. Yeah, they'd say, you didn't even know about that, did you? They knew the future was built on the past, even if everyone else pretended otherwise, and that alone made them better than the rest.
In the 1960s, you knew these five musicians collectively as the Rolling Stones. Since 2001, they've gone by a new moniker: the Strokes. The more things change, and all of that.
See, music journalists threw out the same set of references when the group released its debut, Is This It, two years ago: Television, the Velvet Underground, the Stooges, the Modern Lovers, maybe. But we missed the most obvious parallel. It's all there. The charismatic front man (Julian Casablancas). The stylish guitarist (Albert Hammond Jr.). The genius guitarist (Nick Valensi). The solid, quiet bassist (Nikolai Fraiture). The solider, quieter drummer (Fab Moretti).
But the Strokes have something the Stones never did: friendship. Theirs is the kind of camaraderie that doesn't just emerge when the tape recorder is turned on, when the flashbulbs start popping. If you think it doesn't count, your group is about to break up. Again.
"It's pretty much like being married to four other people, you know?" Fraiture says with a quiet laugh, like he's enjoying a private joke. He's in Seattle, entering the home stretch of the Strokes' first tour supporting Room on Fire, the follow-up to Is This It that was released October 28. "It's kind of like newlyweds right now. There are times when it's tough, of course, when you're close to anybody for too long. Something chemical or something. For us, we all know what our goal is, and anything that gets in the way of that is just, uh, self-destructive and pointless. So we deal with it and get over it.
"Basically, we're all very close," he continues. "And playing music just makes that stronger. You know, it's something we actually think about a lot and we're very happy for. All the complicated bullshit stuff, like egos and that kind of thing, we dealt with before any kind of notoriety or success or anything at all. So we had a one-up on that already."
He's right, of course. If the Strokes hadn't already figured out how they fit together, the two years between Is This It and Room on Fire could have torn them apart. Not since Nirvana has a group been so scrutinized, held so responsible for sea changes in music, fashion and the culture in general. Even before their debut was released, they'd become a genre instead of a band, a lifestyle choice, a haircut, a T-shirt at Urban Outfitters. And not just at home. They have three fan sites in Brazil alone.
"It's definitely strange," Fraiture says. "It's also very relative. You can go to the U.K. and easily think you're the most amazing thing in the world. Or you can go to somewhere south of North America and just realize that nobody really gives a shit. It just depends on where you are and what you want to believe."
They're well-prepared for believing in what they think instead of listening to others, coming up as a band in NYC, playing to crowds filled with fellow musicians. "I mean, that's where that expression comes from: If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. It's because everybody's doing something, so they're very ready to put down whatever you're doing as soon as it comes out. So when you can win over a crowd like that...Malcolm X said the hardest to convert are your best followers. That's pretty much been the case in New York."
Sometimes, it doesn't matter where you are, because this is what follows you: tours, phone interviews, photo shoots, television appearances, magazine covers, endless hours in the studio, the pressure to do it again, fame, infamy, money, people who want your money. It all sounds fun when you talk about it after rehearsal. Not so much when it's your life. There's a reason why Behind the Music doesn't run out of material.

Patient Experiences of a Theory-Based Lifestyle-Focused Group Treatment in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases and Type 2 Diabetes
- Sofia Ljung,

- … show all 4 hide
Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes are two of the most common public health diseases, and up to 80 % of the cases may be prevented by lifestyle modification. The physiological effects of lifestyle-focused treatment are relatively well studied, but how patients actually experience such treatments is still rather unclear.
The aim of this study was to explore how patients experience lifestyle-focused group treatment in primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Qualitative interviews were conducted with 19 patients attending lifestyle-focused group treatment based on social cognitive theory at a behavioral medicine clinic in northern Sweden. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed according to Malterud's systematic text condensation.
The study shows that patients participating in this kind of group-based lifestyle treatment went through a process of self-development which deepened their understanding of own responsibility for health and improved their skills in finding support in others. The process could be tracked through three different themes (the holistic view, personal responsibility, and group treatment) which together reflected the most essential parts of the informants' experience and showed the patient as an active decision maker struggling to adopt the principles of behavioral change.
Lifestyle-focused group treatment, based on social cognitive theory, was shown to stimulate different components that strengthen patients' self-efficacy for long-term behavioral change.

International Adoption: The Human Rights Position
Elizabeth Bartholet
Harvard Law School
July 24, 2009
Global Policy, Vol. 1, No. 1, 2010
International adoption is under siege, with the number of children placed dropping each of the last several years, and many countries imposing severe new restrictions. Key forces mounting the attack claim the child human rights mantle, arguing that such adoption denies heritage rights, and often involves abusive practices. Many nations assert rights to hold onto the children born within their borders, and others support these demands citing subsidiarity principles. But children's most basic human rights, at the heart of the true meaning of subsidiarity, are to grow up in the families that will often be found only in international adoption. These rights should trump any conflicting state sovereignty claims.

I dare say, aWineGal would technically find her somewhereness, in her first audacious sip!
Blustery winter mornings and the elusive concept of "somewhereness"
It took more than a little bit of convincing this morning to drag myself out from under my warm covers, but luckily for technological luxuries, I can still be productive without feet even touching ground! Steve Jobs, to you (or all of those poor, underpaid souls who worked for you) I send utmost appreciation and thank-you for so skillfully marketing and convincing me that the iPad would change my life–I hate to admit it, but it has.
With so many areas of interest in the world of oenology, and after reading an article by journalist Bill Zacharkiw, wine critic for the Montreal Gazette (Wine reflects culture, place, and time), I have been paying much needed attention to the illustrious concept of place, or as termed by Wine Spectator's Matt Kramer, somewhereness. By this, one is referring to more than simply the country, region or even terroir of any given wine, but to all of those elements applied in combination with the winemaker's viticultural techniques– from grape harvest to fermentation, the time and methods of aging, etc– and all of the other interminable, undefinable factors that bring the wine to life. Sometimes, the best wines may have been the result of a poor harvest, wherein the winemaker was forced to employ their very best imagination, and think "outside-the-box", improvising the way to a wine with bold character and nuances that cannot be pinpointed other than to say it has a certain Joie de vivre like no other. This is what I would call somewhereness.
We have all heard that "sometimes the greatest discoveries are simply results of the biggest mishaps." I would boldly venture to suggest that the same can be said for wine production. That sometimes, the best, most notable wine may stray from textbook perfection, however in doing so, may exhibit unique characteristics that makes it such a gem…. Cue, once again, a wine's place and its somewhereness. Better yet, its living soul. Just as one would describe a technically proficient, yet masterfully expressive musician's performance– although, arguably deficient to some, exquisite to others. This intangible quality is one that speaks more to our hearts than our technically structured minds. Somehow, it just connects and resounds…
In the end, we should not lose sight of the fact that wine tasting, though a meticulous, skillful practice and art that takes years to cultivate and decades to master, is subjective to each individual taster. What I may love, another may forgo and so on. Everyone has a certain tasting profile, and preference, and in the end, we know best what makes our senses sing and hearts happy. The best wine may be one that is highly revered by a Master Sommelier (we have two Canadian superstars, fyi, who will be competing in Tokyo in March: Canadian Sommelier Olympics), one which I rave and recommend or simply one that sits in your collection, picked up on an impromptu trip to a small, out-of-the-way winery, and boasts memories galore. So often, the wines that make the biggest impression in my memory, are the wines that have stories to go with them. Whatever it may be, find it–search for it– and be passionate about it. Share it with others, take time to savour it in your glass: its aromatics qualities, its hue, and then, how it feels and awakens your taste buds. Let the wine come to life.
I am not sure what is on my tasting menu for the day, but whatever it may be, I can't wait to savour the adventure….

Amazon Drone Program Asks FAA Permission to Fly
Amazon's plan to start shipping deliveries via drone is really underway, as evinced by a letter the company sent to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) this week. In fact, Amazon is "incredibly passionate about" its Amazon Prime Air feature, wherein airborne drones would deliver packages to registered customers "in 30 minutes or less," according to the letter.
In the letter, Amazon says that it is developing drones that can travel over 50 miles per hour and carry packages of up to 5 pounds (which it says covers 86% of all packages sold on Amazon). The letter also asks the FAA to grant the company "expedited operational authorization" to research and develop civil unmanned aircraft under the FAA Modernization Reform Act of 2012.
MORE: How to Hack Other People's Drones for Less than $400
According to the letter, sent by Amazon's VP of global public policy Paul Misener, Amazon is already on its eighth- and ninth-generation drones, and has been conducting private research indoors at a facility in Seattle. But it needs special permission to start testing the drones for outdoors use.
The FAA Modernization Reform Act of 2012 gives the FAA funding to update its air traffic control regulations, which is necessary before commercial drones can legally take to the skies. But the act also allows for some exemptions for the sake of drone research and development. That's what Amazon is requesting in this letter.
Many were originally skeptical of Bezos' drone plan, since the announcement first came just before the 2013 holiday season, leading many to think Bezos was just trying to put Amazon in people's heads.

It's easier to follow an afternoon UPS truck and take packages from porches.
1Phillip , July 12, 2014 5:17 PMFor the price of one of these drones they could ship 1000's of packages via the Post Office. One drone, one shipment. Ya, that makes a whole bunch of sense.
I'll be waiting for one to "fall" out of the sky, then demand a reward for it's return. Otherwise... in the trash (my hobby room) for "refurbishing" it goes. In Seattle, the Class B airspace extends from SeaTac out to 15 miles (30 miles across) and goes to 10,000 feet AGL. Mode C transponder and radio required, as well as a clearance to enter it in the first place.
First collision with another aircraft will bring so many lawyers out of the woodwork, I doubt even Amazon could survive the results.

Tony Lazzeri Obituary
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7 (UPI) –
Tony Lazzeri, second baseman for the New York Yankees baseball team in the days of Babe Ruth, was found dead in his home at near-by Millbrae today. His age was 42. The body was found by his wife, Mrs. Maye Lazzeri, who had been out of the city on vacation.
The one-time baseball great apparently had struck his head against a banister in slipping or falling in the house, family friends said. A coroner's officer declared Lazzeri had been dead approximately thirty-six hours when the body was discovered at 4 P.M. (PST) today and said death might have been due to a heart attack.
Anthony Michael (Push-'em-Up-Tony) Lazzeri, soft-spoken native of the Cow Hollow district of San Francisco, was one of the most popular men in modern baseball. His cool disposition and slugging prowess earned him the reputation of being regarded as one of the game's finest "clutch" hitters.
He became a star after going to the Yanks in 1926 and played a major role in helping the club to win the pennant that year. While he won fame for his timely hitting, he was noted also for failing to deliver when the chips were down in the world series game between the Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals. He was fanned in the seventh inning with the bases full by Grover Cleveland Alexander in one of baseball's most dramatic moments.
Tony was born on Dec. 6, 1903. His father wanted him to stick to a boiler factory job but the future baseball idol wanted to play baseball. He played it so well that he became known as a baseball player's ball player. He was sure death to ground balls and was never known to give an opposing player the "spikes."
Playing against the Philadelphia Athletics on May 24, 1936, Lazzeri became the first major leaguer ever to hit two home runs with the bases full in one game. In the same contest he batted in eleven runs for a new American League record.
That feat enabled him to set two other major league records, with six home runs in three consecutive contests and seven homers in four successive games. He also tied the big league standard of five homers in two consecutive games and equaled the modern mark of four long hits in one contest.
Tony almost quit baseball in 1923, when he became discouraged because he was shifted back and fourth between t he Salt Lake City club and other minor-league teams. He was optioned to the Eastern League, decided to quit and advised the Salt Lake City club of his decision. He stayed out of the game for about ten days and then found a place with the Lincoln team in the Western League.
The 1925 season found him in the Pacific Coast League hitting .355 for Salt Lake City, his string including sixty homers, which pounded in 222 runs. It was in the autumn that the Yankees bought him for $75,000.
He retired from baseball after his release as a manager of the Wilkes-Barre Eastern League club in 1943. He had closed his major league career in 1939 after serving briefly with the Chicago Cubs and the Brooklyn Dodgers. When he left the Yankees at the finish of the 1937 season, his major-league batting mark was .292.
Lazzeri retired to business life two years ago. He became a partner in a San Francisco tavern.

Julie from Bloomington sent in this question: A waste pickup service just refused to accept me as a customer because I would not give out my birth date or the last four numbers of my social security number. I was polite and explained that part of my identity had been stolen in the past. The rep was firm that they could not accept me as a customer and offered to have me speak with her supervisor. I left a polite message. I also refuse to give any of my
I checked with Dianne Cutter, CEO of Asurency Protection in Chaska. Generally, you are not legally required to provide your SSN to most businesses, including most health care providers, unless one of the exceptions below applies, she said. However, some companies might refuse to do business with you if you don't provide your SSN. But even though you are not legally required to disclose your SSN, the business generally does not have to provide you with service if you refuse to release it. So in a sense, you are strong-armed into giving your SSN.
In most states, there is no law that prevents businesses from requesting your SSN, and there are few restrictions on what businesses can do with it. Five states (Alaska, Kansas, Maine, New Mexico, and Rhode Island) either restrict the solicitation of SSNs or prohibit denying goods and services to an individual who declines to give an SSN. Read the Consumers Union compilation of state laws.
If a business insists on knowing your SSN when you do not see a reason for it, we encourage you to speak to a manager who may be authorized to make an exception or who may know whether company policy requires it. If the company will not allow you to use an alternate number such as your driver's license number, you may want to take your business elsewhere, said Cutter.
Julie said that a supervisor at the waste pickup service called her back to say that she could have the service if she paid three monthsin advance. The supervisor said that the reasons the birth date and SSN are requested is that it makes it easier to collect for non-payment.
You can refuse to give the info, but it's also legal for the company to refuse you service, at least in Minnesota.

What To Do After You've Made A Mistake
- 72
Everyone makes mistakes. It's what you do afterward that makes you an honorable human being and a good nurse . . . or not.nursing school doesn't really teach you how to be a nurse, it just gives you a glimpse into the world of nursing and the nclex gives you a license to learn. if you're smart, you'll learn something new every day of your career. if you're very smart, you'll learn how to handle those moments when you're very, very stupid.
everyone makes mistakes. everyone. there are no perfect people, and anyone who would have you believe they are perfect is a damn liar. so know from the very first moment you put on that name badge that says "rn" or "lpn" or "cna" that you, too will make a mistake. mistakes are an inevitable part of life and an inevitable part of nursing. what matters isn't that you're perfect; what matters is what you do after you've made that mistake.
recognize your mistakes. i've known a few people who were so convinced of their own perfection they couldn't recognize their imperfections. if they did it, it must be right. if you're not willing to admit the possibility that you might make a mistake, you're unlikely to realize when you've made one. the very first thing to do when you've made a mistake is to recognize it. the second thing to do is to admit it -- to yourself, to your charge nurse, to the provider, to your manager and ultimately to the patient.
it's amazing how few mistakes actually kill patients or even cause them permanent injury. some do, we all know that. but if you recognize your mistake, admit it and immediately set about to minimize the damage, most mistakes are merely a bump in the road rather than a career ending or life ending catastrophe.
i worked with a nurse i'll call maria. maria was a lovely person -- beautiful, funny and smart. she also lacked integrity. we worked in sicu together years ago, and one day i was in her room with her, helping her to turn her fresh-from-the-or cardiac surgery patient. as we turned him, the monitor started to alarm and we looked up in horror to see his heart rate slowing down and passing 30 on the way south. the surgery resident was just outside the room and responded instantly to my involuntary utterance of "oh, s%&#!" there were many interventions, but the one i'm talking about was the order to give "point one milligram of epinephrine." maria grabbed up the amp of epi i handed her and pushed the entire thing -- one milligram.
suddenly we had the opposite problem. the patient's heart rate picked up -- slowly at first, but rapidly gathering steam and the rate on the monitor was over 15o when i looked up from the code cart. from no blood pressure and a flat art line, we suddenly had a pressure of over 250 systolic. and climbing. "how much epi did you give?" shouted the resident.
"what you said," replied maria, hiding the empty syringe from view. "i gave what you said."
"how much was that?" countered the resident.
"i have what you said," maria insisted, despite clear evidence to the contrary. and she never budged from her story. never. the chest tubes were suddenly full of blood and the pleurevac overflowing. as we whisked the patient back to the or, there was a trail of bright red blood in his path. maria's mistake didn't kill the patient because of the quick thinking and quicker actions of that surgery resident, but i never trusted her again. neither did the resident, who is now head of cardiac surgery at the hospital where maria still works.
as soon as you recognize that you've made a mistake, tell the appropriate person. it's not enough that you recognize your mistake, you have to do everything you can to prevent, minimize or mitigate the damage. if you've made a medication error, tell the physician. there may be -- usually is -- something that can be done. narcan can reverse a narcotic overdose , protomine reverses a heparin overdose and if you've given too much insulin you can follow it with sugar whether it be a can of real coke or an amp of d50. you'll need a doctor's input and a doctor's order.
once you've done what you can to help the patient, take a moment to think through the process that led to your error. were you moving too quickly? distracted by family members? couldn't read someone's handwriting? whatever it was, you need a firm understanding of how and why you made your error and an idea of what you're going to do differently next time to keep it from happening again.
then tell your manager. there are right ways and wrong ways to tell your manager, but whatever you do, tell her before she finds out from someone else, especially if it's a big mistake. call her at home, email her or whatever. there's nothing worse from a manager's perspective than being blindsided by the person who comes to confront her about some mistake made by a member of her staff.
as an example of the wrong way to tell your boss about a mistake, david once defibrillated a patient in normal sinus rhythm because he mistook artifact for a lethal arrhythmia. he was new to icu, and some artifact looks like v tach, v fib or even asystole. david shocked his patient in full view of an entire team of doctors and a couple of nurses who were all yelling at him to stop. "oops," he said with a laugh. "i shouldn't have done that."
no one else was amused.
you want to make it abundantly clear to your boss that you realize you've made a mistake, that you understand the consequences were or could have been enormous and that you're profoundly sorry. you also want her to know that you've thought about how it happened and how you're going to make sure it doesn't happen again. few bosses would tolerate david's responses to a mistake, but i can tell you from personal experience that you can survive the second with your job and your license intact.
lastly, forgive yourself and move on. that's often the most difficult part of the whole process. but not moving on condemns you to relive your mistake over and over and over again. it undermines your confidence, destroys your sleep and makes it more likely you'll make more mistakes. that's a vicious cycle.
i won't say i've completely forgiven myself and moved on . . . yet . . . but i'm working on it.

It is always the right thing to do5Feb 10, '11 by DedHedRNDo you think it is possible that she was panicking and was substituting 1 milligram for 1 milliliter in her mind when she pushed the meds and never even realized that she made a mistake?
And laughter is a nervous response of some people when they know that they have done something wrong, its doesn't always mean that they think the situation is funny, or that they are not sorry.5Feb 11, '11 by silverbat, ASN, RNWhat bothers me the most is the mistakes we don't realize we made..........
I had a nurse once walk down a hall hanging IVPB's a she went, which was fine, as it were, until I answered a beeping IV and found she had hung the wrong meds on almost everyone 7-8 pts.... Thank goodness no one was harmed...but........
I still remember my first med error as a CMT, and practically all my others, because, yes, I have made errors, I am human, I have learned. DO NOT trust the nurse who says she has NEVER made an error, She hasn't admitted to it, yet.4Feb 11, '11 by cherryames1949Best advice ever. Sometimes people are reluctant to own up because a manager or the health care facility can be punitive. Nobody wants to make a mistake. It can be devastating. Management could have appropriate education following an error. The institution could have a review of errors, in a non punitive environment, so everyone could benefit. This could improve employee morale and patient care.3Feb 15, '11 by dudette10I also want to add something to Ruby Vee's excellent post.
Never forget to learn from your "almost" mistakes, too. You know the ones...where you almost make a mistake, but catch it just in time. As a student, I've made a more "almost" mistakes than actual mistakes because I have someone watching over my shoulder, and those are very important to reflect on also.0Feb 15, '11 by NurseofhopeWe all do mistakes , Me too , but we have to learn from ours mistakesLast edit by dianah on Feb 16, '11 : Reason: Terms of Service1Feb 18, '11 by joanapril_18It's ethically correct to admit the mistake that occurred, and it also gives a chance to quickly correct the problem. I just think it's difficult to be completely truthful about the mistake if you know that your superiors will never forget the mistake you've done. It's hard to move on when they keep on reminding you of the mistake you did. Even if there was no harm that beset the patient or it didn't kill the patient they would still remember it and bash it in your face right after you've made another mistake of a different kind.
The honesty is the easy part, but its the moving-on which is the part of the cycle that is most difficult. Specially, when the one's that you've confided the truth are also not in support of your efforts to move on.
I also agree that not moving on will predispose you to more mistakes in the future..
Thanks you for the post.

I love MCS, the good old "we'll take you out for dinner and send you free stuff" computer company.
I know we've almost all had dealings with them, and I'm annoyed at myself for not being prepared today.
I had a call from them (the second time since working here) to say how they have just won a contract with the Premier League for toners and are giving away the free football shirts. Of course I feigned interest in football, and when asked if any of the kids would like it I said it's an all girls school (I know, I'll get some stick for that hehe). He then offered rugby or F1 merchandise instead. It's amazing how much free stuff the premier league contracts bring you, even F1 gear!!
He then tried going down the actual toner route of how many printers, what make and model. Not being prepared I just thought I'd see how long I could hold on with him so kept pretending I didn't know what make printers we have or what model number. After he asked me to "go and check what model number a printer is near you" I said I couldn't as I was very busy and he was the one calling me. Unfortunately I never got through my next sentence as he hung up
Well it made my morning anyway.....
Glad to be back too

PSA Healthcare
- 0Guys,
What do you know about PSA Healthcare for new graduates? Please tell me the positives and the negatives. I have an interview with them in Florida and I do not know what to think. A staff told me that they pay new graduates 19/h per diem. This sounds very low but I will take it until I get a better job. I will be doing Pediatric Care. Please give me your opinion on this agency.
- 0Apr 16, '10 by AnaCatRNI just interviewed with PSA (IL, north of Chicago) this morning. My recruiter was actually a nurse, which is so much better than the recruiter I had at Maxim, who seemed more like a telemarketer. The pay is lower here than normal, too ($23/hr), but it sounds less stressful, as there will only be one patient. I have peds experience, so it seems like the best fit for me in private duty.
My recruiter said I can get extra training, and she seems interested in finding assignments that fit my needs (travel distance, type of patient, etc.). I have heard on allnurses that they have a bad reputation, but I haven't heard that around here. It's possible that it depends on which office you go through. I was given a conditional offer of employment (contingent upon background check and references).
As PSA seems to offer training and values continuing education, this may be a good fit for a new grad. I doubt they will give you a critical patient right out of school. It would be a good way to get some peds experience, if you're interested in peds. Good luck! Let us know what happens!
- 0I will let you know what happens. Thanks for the encouragement.
- 0Apr 16, '10 by KimberRNI applied to PSA healthcare and I have over 1 yr nursing experience. The recruiter told me they couldn't hire anyone that didnt have pediatric trach/vent/gtube experience. She was very nice and professional and told me to call her back when I have that experience. Just be careful that you are not put in any situations that would jeopardize the patient or your license.
- 0Apr 16, '10 by kidsI wouldn't wish PSA on anyone no matter what their offer.
But hey, if you want to work for the lowest wages in town with crappy benefits, be assigned to cases you're not qualified to care, have zero support at the regional or corporate level...go for it. Be prepared to do the housekeeping, laundry and very often the cooking for child you're being paid to provide skilled nursing services to, it will be care planned and part of the 'package' promised to the family.
Yes, I worked for them for several years, earning my way up the ladder to be the director of a location. Yes, I left on very good terms.
- 0Kids, I thought about it and if I have to do house duties I will not take the Job...I will liten carefully and ask the necessary questions and if I do not feel comfortable I will not take the offer because that pay is very low for me.
- 0Apr 16, '10 by Casey, RNMy sister-in-law works for PSA and she's gets paid very well (compared to the local hospital)--twice as much, in fact, and she doesn't do housework, etc... She didn't have trach experience aside from school but they trained her upon hire. I think it depends on the area because she seems to be satisfied.
- 0Apr 17, '10 by smartnurse1982Quote from goodstudentnowRNKids, I thought about it and if I have to do house duties I will not take the Job...I will liten carefully and ask the necessary questions and if I do not feel comfortable I will not take the offer because that pay is very low for me.
Hope I could be of some help. I worked for them fresh out of school and it wasn't the best experience. I was on a case I wasn't trained for and the supervisor was of no help either. No benefits were avail to me back then but now its offered to everyone for about 150 a week. I left them when I got tired of having no sick days and other benefits like normal jobs have. I tried to re apply 6 months ago but they turned me down because I was working with another agency at the same time I was applying with them,which is stupid b/c its none of their business what other jobs I have. I found that doing housework is related to the region of the usa you are in. I didn't do any housework plus our supervisors always told us that's not our responsibility in the northeast. In the south,our supervisors told us that it was the nurses job to keep the house clean and clothes clean.
- 0Apr 17, '10 by goodstudentnowRNWell....I WILL NOT DO HOUSEWORK OR ELSE I WILL NOT TAKE THE JOB. This would be ridiculous. I did not spend so much money in school to do housework. I will let you know what happens when I go there on Monday.
- 0Apr 17, '10 by AnaCatRNI didn't even think to ask if they require housework. I better ask! I'm not doing that! I agree with the OP. I didn't go to college to clean houses! That's ridiculous! I refuse to clean, cook, or drive anyone anywhere. I'm a college-educated professional, not a household servant. Another private duty agency, BrightStar, hired me about a month ago, and told me a few days before my first case was to start that I would be required to do all that stuff. I quit. The 5-star hotel crap is seeping into private duty and home health, eh? They can take that strive for 5/Press Ganey/hotel service stuff and shove it where the sun doesn't shine! Good Lord, that's why I'm trying to find a non-hospital job! I'm tired of being treated like a common servant! I just want to be a nurse and take care of patients!

Supreme Court Overturns Second Circuit in AMEX v Italian Colors
The Supreme Court released today its eagerly-awaited decision (at least in the ADR world) in AMEX v. Italian Colors. In overturning the Second Circuit's refusal to enforce a class action waiver on the ground that plaintiffs could not vindicate their statutory rights under the federal antitrust laws, the Court, in a 5-3 opinion authored by Justice Scalia (public enemy #1 of class arbitation), eliminated virtually the only viable doctrine remaining to litigants to challenge class action waivers in consumer contracts.
While the Court recognized the validity of the vindicating rights doctrine generally, it held that, in this case, the "fact that it is not worth the expense involved in proving a statutory remedy does not constitute the elimination of the right to pursue that remedy." Because the class action waiver in the merchants' credit card services agreement with American Express did not eliminate the right to pursue individual claims under the antitrust laws, the Court deemed the waiver enforceable. Of course, the right to pursue a remedy is meaningless and hollow if, as a practical matter, it is not financially possible to pursue.
More detailed analysis to follow, particularly of Justice Kagan's scathing dissent.

NYC Pride March
New York
Sun Jun 29
- Free
Photograph: Raymond Martinez
Time Out says
Posted: Thu Mar 15 2012
March begins at Fifth Ave and 36th St and proceeds south to the reviewing stand at Fifth Ave and 8th St before turning west down Christopher St to Greenwich St. Subway: A, C, E, D, F to W 4th St; D, F, N, Q, R to 34th St–Herald Sq; F to 14th St or 23rd St; L, N, Q, R, 4, 5, 6 to 14th St–Union Sq; 6 to Astor Pl, 23rd St, 28th St or 33rd St. While it's not really offensive to call the NYC Pride March a parade, it's also technically incorrect. The event—which first happened in 1970, marking the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall uprising—is a march for civil rights, not a celebratory parade. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun! Every year, more than a million spectators line Fifth Avenue to take in outlandish costumes, elaborate floats and eye-popping performances. Groups representing the five boroughs and beyond include everything from churches and support groups to social organizations and politicians eager to get out the gay vote.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 nights
This lovely home is set in a small security estate with controlled entry/exit gate and is in a nice private setting, - this makes for a relaxed and special holiday. The house itself is spacious and airy with a super feeling of light. No need to feel short of space here !
The village of Hout Bay is waiting to welcome you and your special holiday home awaits. We are able to offer you extra help should you need it to make your holiday perfect and stress free. We can arrange car hire from a long established and well proven local company at a special discount and they will meet you at the airport and guide you, worry free to the house. You will welcomed by Ann or Fiona who will have made sure you have some refreshments so that you can relax from the start. If this is your first visit to the Cape let us know and we will help you in advance with local information and places to visit. If you are having a special event we can even get you your own chef ! or we can book suitable restaurants and tours on your behalf. Whilst you are here take the opportunity to enjoy the local wine and wineries situated close to Hout Bay. Throughout your holiday we will endeavour to give you the best possible service to make your Cape Town visit a memorable one. If you have family or friends visiting here at the same time we will try to accommodate them also in some of our other properties.
Hout Bay is about a 25 minute scenic drive from Cape Town and is a great base for your visits to all points of the Cape Peninsula. There is plenty to see and do in the Hout Bay village and superb roads will lead you out to the world famous landmarks and sites around Cape Town. The weather here is generally good and fairly temperate but we do get some breezy days too when the wind comes in off the sea ! This may be a good day to go out on one of the regular boat trips to Seal Island which leaves from Hout Bay harbor along with many other boats offering fishing or viewing. Afterwards have lunch in one of our many harbor side restaurants with delicious fish.
It is winter here in South Africa during May, June, July, August so if you are free then or here on business why not come for a longer stay and enjoy a winter in the Cape - the weather is usually pretty good with cool evenings and early mornings. We are offering a special discount for stays of one,two or three months - just request these details and we will tailor a package to suit you and your family.
However, we are heading in to the Cape summer right now and our glorious weather is probably just around the corner so start planning now for your visit. We have other smaller properties available if this is too large for you or if you have additional family or friends coming that you wish to accommodate, so just let me know - I will be happy to telephone you to discuss any of your holiday requirements here in Hout Bay.
But plan to come here - it's a fantastic holiday destination !
I am born in the UK but have been in South Africa - Cape Town in particular - for many years (and love it here !). I used to go to school in Hampton, Mx., and then moved to the South Coast for quite a while before coming further south to Africa, Cape Town, and more especially to beautiful Hout Bay. I love travel and part of the pleasure in the guest holiday business is meeting the fantastic people who come here from all over the world. Why don't you come over here too and see what it's all about ?
Guests are always delighted with this holiday home - there are gasps of amazement when they find it looks even better than the photos on the website ! They find it convenient, comfortable and appreciate the service we always try to give them. We are sure you will love it too.
The benefits to our guests are numerous - this is a really spacious, light and airy home and it's close proximity to the village and also the major sightseeing aspects of the Cape is of great benefit. It is a good jumping off point for trips to Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront via spectacular Camps Bay and Clifton, to the winelands in the other direction, and again over the world famous Chapman's Peak round to Cape Point and Simonstown on the Indian Ocean side of the Peninsula.
The house was amazing, the stay was amazing, everything was amazing. This was the best house and place we have ever stayed in, including all round Australia.
We have been very booked up recently but now have some vacant time to fit you in during the coming months - why not plan to come to Cape Town and wonderful Hout Bay in 2014/2015. We very often have wonderful weather with bright blue skies, and the sea and the scenery are fantastic whether it is summer or winter. So why not come and visit us - it's never too early to start planning ! Either this home or one of our other properties could be available for you. Once you have been to Cape Town, and Hout Bay in particular, you will want to come back time and time again, so come and see for yourself what we have to offer. We look forward to meeting you here ......
Hout Bay, Cape Town, is a working fishing village in a lovely mountain setting. Shops are close by and offer all you need for your household.

All the treats of Cape Town city are also waiting for your visit - the famous V & A Waterfront, restaurants and entertainment are only 20 min away and can be reached either via the superb Constantia Winelands or Kirstenbosch Gardens route.
Hout Bay also has an exceptionally good bird sanctuary and on Sunday mornings Hout Bay has its ever popular open air market.
Other Activities: Wining and Dining at its best. Boat trips from the working harbour
Golf: Many beautiful scenic courses within very easy driving distance (no more than half an hour away).
Just make a plan to come to Hout Bay - at any time of the year you will be very welcome ! We would love to meet you.
