If you thought reality TV was only for wannabe warblers, petulant teens and bug-eating fetishists, guess again. The Department of Homeland Security, "as well as several other government agencies," according to The Hollywood Reporter, is working with ABC on a new "unscripted" show called "Border Security USA," brought to you, creepily enough, by the executive producer of "Big Brother."
The Hollywood Reporter
A new ABC unscripted series will take an unprecedented look behind the scenes at the government's fight against terrorism.
The network has ordered 11 hours of "Border Security USA" from executive producer Arnold Shapiro ("Big Brother"). Shot on location throughout the United States, the series will focus on the efforts of border protection agencies to halt illegal smuggling and immigration.
A typical episode might jump from a border patrol in Texas to security screeners at a New York airport to a Coast Guard boat off Puerto Rico.
This show doesn't seem at all propagandistic, no sir.

Swansea boss Michael Laudrup apologises for 5-0 Liverpool defeat
Dane made seven changes for ahead of League Cup final
Liverpool: Michael Laudrup issued an apology to Swansea City supporters and admitted he feared an adverse reaction in the Capital One Cup final after his team selection backfired with a 5-0 defeat at Liverpool.
The Swansea manager made seven changes from his team's previous Premier League outing in preparation for next Sunday's final against Bradford City at Wembley. The captain, Ashley Williams, and the leading goalscorer, Michu, were among those rested on the bench.
Laudrup insisted the team selection was not the only cause of Swansea's dreadful second-half display, with Liverpool scoring three times in 10 minutes after the interval, and admitted responsibility for the heavy defeat had to be shared between himself and the players. "It was a nightmare, we got slaughtered and it was awful," said the Swansea manager. "It could have been seven or eight-nil.
"We just have to say sorry to the fans who travelled. I am responsible as I pick the team. We made changes but that is no excuse. It is difficult to explain. Over the last two or three months we have made changes, I made seven against Fulham over Christmas, but we have always been competitive apart from a couple of bad games in September.
"I don't regret making the changes because we have always been competitive when I have switched the team. We have to learn, go on and think about the final. Maybe this was a single accident and the Wembley final was to blame. I hope so anyway."
Laudrup described the final as "the biggest game in Swansea's history" and admitted the defensive display could have an impact on the players' confidence. "When you win it gives you confidence and it is the opposite when you lose," he added. "The team I put on the pitch had performed at other times. Every player needs to look inside and wonder what they could have done better.
"I will not exclude that some players are thinking of next week, which will be human because it is the biggest game in the history of the club."
Steven Gerrard, with a penalty, the full debutant Philippe Coutinho, Jose Enrique, Luis Suarez and a penalty from Daniel Sturridge secured Liverpool a first win in six matches in all competitions and encouragement for Thursday's Europa League second leg meeting with Zenit St Petersburg.
Liverpool are likely to be without Fabio Borini for the rest of the season, however, after the substitute dislocated his shoulder late in the game.
The Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, said: "It was an important three points as we have had a bumpy road this week. The Premier League is important to us, and we had to focus. I think we really showed our character and mental toughness after everything that has happened over the last week.
"I am very pleased because we spoke about that beforehand, and funnily enough, about keeping a clean sheet, which was very important to us. Once we got the second goal at the beginning of the second half it brought a lot more confidence and flow to our game."
Rodgers paid tribute to new £8.5m signing Coutinho, the 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder who made an impressive full debut at Anfield. "He's a really talented player," said the Liverpool manager. "He's only 20 but has had good experience of playing at a high level. He will take time to adapt to the speed of the game here but he's a wonderful technician, you can see that with his goal and the way he interlinked with other players."

For my ha'pennies worth of an opinion; I've enjoyed the slightly more robust approach to the Double Dutch of late.

I've nothing specific to say about today's selections. I have been keeping a very close eye though on DD as a longer-term 'investment vehicle' so long may it continue!

text: California: Only One-Third Have Regained Insurance Lost Through Obamacare Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 27 Jan 2014 post a comment California has long been the flagship for Obamacare. It was targeted last fall by President Barack Obama's own activist group, Organizing for Action, for precisely that reason: given the strength of their volunteer efforts, they hoped the state could be a symbol for the success of Obamacare as a whole. That is one reason that there is so much loud cheering by the media's left-wing commentators every time Covered California, the state's Obamacare program, announces that it has achieved something, no matter how modest--or how exaggerated. Yet many of Covered California's "successes" are only relative to the failure of the program as a whole, and most of them are overblown. For example, on the day Obamacare enrollment started, Covered California reported that it had received 5 million web hits. In fact, however, it had received only 645,000--roughly 10% of what was initially reported. The latest version of such inflation is Covered California's jubilant announcement last week that "500,108 Californians enrolled for health insurance and selected plans through the end of 2013." That was cause for jubilation by Ezra Klein--from the start, one of Obamcare's chief media pitchmen--and Evan Soltas in the Washington Post, who celebrated California's achievement of "424,396" enrollments. As John McCormack of the Weekly Standard notes, Klein and Soltas are only counting those eligible for Obamacare subsidies, not the total number who enrolled. But there is a further problem: California refuses to say, or cannot say, how many of those have actually paid for their insurance, meaning we do not know the actual number. It gets worse--much worse. By the end of October, the executive director of California's Obamacare exchange confirmed that up to 900,000 people in the state would lose their current health insurance by the end of 2013--not including those who may lose it through their workplaces in 2014. Many of those are among the 500,000 or so who signed up for Obamacare through Covered California by the end of 2013--about 330,000, according to McCormack. That also means that only about 200,000 previously uninsured people signed up for Obamacare. As for the other 600,000 or so, no one know what happened to them--they are just uninsured. The state refused to participate in President Barack Obama's proposed "fix" for those who had their policies canceled. So roughly three times as many people have lost insurance as have gained it. That is what the left now defines as "success." The rest of the country is presumably meant to take heart from the fact that California's performance highlights the best-case scenario for Obamacare. And there are other problems--a boycott by Calfornia doctors, for one. Klein and Soltas at least have the presence of mind not to go as far as Covered California and claim 1.2 million people in the state signed up for expanded Medicaid through Obamacare. Half of those were simply transferred into the program by bureaucrats, and the other half signed up for Medi-Cal during the period of Obamacare enrollment, but not necessarily because of it. Covered California claims its numbers show "continued vigor in the new insurance marketplace." Much more of such "vigor," and the state's insurance industry will be dead.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month here in the United States,
which is a good thing, because we come down with more PC botnet
infections than any other country in the world. Microsoft reports 2.2
million US PCs hijacked for cybercrime or distributed denial of service
(DDOS) attacks on websites in the first half of this year.
And in late September, police in the greater New York area busted over
60 members of a botnet ring whose plan was to deploy the Zeus Trojan to
clean out banks.
Botnets "are the launch pad for much of today's criminal activity on the
Internet," Microsoft security expert Adrienne Hall warned last week. "In
many ways, they are the perfect base of operations for computer
So what's the government doing about botnets? The Federal Communications
Commission is running a proceeding to identify the five most critical
cybersecurity threats to the communications infrastructure and come up
with solutions. And various bills are floating around Capitol Hill that
would unify the nation's already hyperbalkanized cybersecurity
apparatus, so Uncle Sam can think with one brain about the problem
(Senator Lieberman's here; Senator Rockefeller's here).
These measures ought to bear fruit in the next geological era or two.
But in the meantime, how about we do what Japan did and set up a
national botnet fighter?

Do you really mean that she's your favorite? Usually when you put something in quotes like that it's to signify that you actually mean the opposite of what you are saying. You don't seem like the type of person who would do something that mean, so I thought I'd point it out. I'd hate her to see it and think you were being sarcastic calling her your 'favorite' like you really don't like her at all.

I think it was for emphasis. I have an employee that I LOVE at Rite Aid. It's kinda like when you say *hugs* on FB.

Hi Christine,
Nope! I seriously do love this particular employee! I have the best Walgreens around... hmm, I didn't realize that my typing slang is inappropriate! I'd better brush up on my skills!

I know isn't she great! I love her too! And now that they are training a new manager there, I love her even more! She has really been a HUGE help when I have gone in there lately with coupons. :O) She knows the program really well and if the manager in training isn't sure what is going on she has been there to help. Actually everyone there is pretty awsome. :O)

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 463 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by cjgsbg53 FANTASTIC HOTEL!! Wonderful experience!! Room clean, awesome features (microwave and refrigerator), sofa sleeper, VERY clean, spacious, staff was great ---would highly recommend staying at Sheraton Suites Market Center Dallas, TX. Plan to be back there any time I am in the Dallas area!! August 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by LYNN22 The perfect location for the Dallas Market Center The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. The separate living room is my favorite feature of your rooms. It feels more like a small apartment rather than a hotel room. I can work at the table and relax on the couch separate from the bedroom. March 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by SIKhDaddy91 Not What I Expected from Sheraton This property is old and in need of renovations inside and out. The interior of the elevators is hideous. The floors are cracked and the mechanical doors have been pried open. The linens smelled like grease from the kitchen. The lawn was burned up from lack of water. September 9, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by cheerdad1524 poor shuttle service The hotel is very nice, and the staff tries,but we came to this hoter with 17 people and were promised shuttle service for the 3 days we were there and only got it one,we spent about $85.00 each in taxi services. it turns thye hotel had another van,just not a driver. March 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by ChasChrist Buffet or else Seems that a particular morning server would rather you order the buffet brkfst and not order off of the menu. Since I did order from the menu this server made sure that my hot meal I ordered from the menu came cold. Next time I guess it's buffet or bust! February 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tonytexas This hotel has several issues I stayed a weekend in August. There is limited air conditioning in the bar/restaurant area and no air conditioning in the elevators. This is not comfortable in Texas in the summer. Additionally, the wifi signal in my room was too weak to sustain a connection. August 16, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by tme123 Great staff old Hotel I have the staff an A+ for customer service unfortunately the hotel is old and in need of refurbishment. One of the elevators (of 2) was broken down for my entire stay of 3 nights. Very unacceptable. I was on the 10th floor which caused significant delays. April 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Whodat64 Great stay but. . . This is my second time staying at this hotel. I do like the rooms and location to my clients. But this visit was a little below expectations. Room service called me after i placed my order and incorrectly informed me that they were out of the Herb chicken , i choose a different meal and then was was called again to say they have my original order ready. When it was delivered was not good. Second, I was awaken my knocks on my door and a phone call at 6am from staff looking for a "James' could not go back to sleep. Third-my bill had to be corrected due to a charge for internet which should have been free. Fourth-I had to inquire about my free breakfast included in my room rate and how to redeem.Last-I had a very important presentation that I could not print off due to the lobby internet stations were down. Was told at 7:30 am that they will be up shortly. But at 12:30pm they were still down. No one offered to print off my presentation at front desk. I will stay here again but overall customer service was not up to par. Derrick Smith September 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sleepingbeauty7 Slept like a baby!! Only ONE complaint , from the time I stepped off the elevator onto the third floor, untill the end of my stay (2) days.. The hall ways smelled like you were walking past a really smelly dumpster. It was just odd. Other than that everything was great!!! April 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by thecherub88 get the club floor ... ... it's a suite :) :) :). i stayed here because it was close and convenient to the jfk memorial sites. i was upgrade to the club floor, which is a suite. this, as you well can appreciate, created a dilemma: which tv to watch. yes #firstworldproblems. July 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jen13 Comfortable room but had a few issues The Sheraton is consistently a good quality hotel, that is why I choose over others, when able. However, the room had no wash clothes, no hair dryer upon check in and my bill was incorrect at checkout. The meals in the club room were always very good. January 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ATM25 Comfortable and SPG quality The hotel was comfortable and updated. The SPG floors were separate and required card access which is always nice. The SPG Club lounge had a very nice breakfast while we were there. Overall the hotel exceeded expectations. April 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ComfortSeeker Small suite offers comfort This non-smoking facility more than met my expectations. Although the sleeping area with two beds was tight, it was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The small sleeping space was very acceptable with the completely separate sitting area and a second TV. February 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AdrianB Outstanding Service This was my third stay in two months and each time the experience improved. In particular, the Guest Service employee Ashley went above and beyond my expectations. If I had a request, she made sure that it was taken care of each time. Thanks Ashley! January 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Julie7323 Great location for market center Great hotel and location. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. It is a little noisy from the highway traffic, but otherwise a good experience. June 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MDMinMiami Pretty Good This hotel is pretty good overall but I have to comment that I was dissapointed with the Internet Access. I needed the wireless access to complete much work while staying in my room and the services was very slow and would randomly disconnected.... August 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CamBH This hotel is great! staff super friendly and helpful! the only very minor issues were (but I alerted the staff): 1) check out service didn't work on tv 2) bathroom doorknob broken 3) toilet paper holder broken Staff promised specific room and they came thru! love it! November 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Duffydoo Business Travel This hotel matched my expectations June 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 THIS HOTEL NEEDS TO CLEAN ROOMS STAYED A COUPLE OF DAYS AND NO ONE CLEANED OUR ROOM. CALL THE FRONT DEST FOR TOWLES AND TOILET PAPER, NEVER CAME. I HEARD THE HOUSE KEEPING CREW OUTSIDE IN THE HALL. I HAD TO GO ASK THEM. DON'T KNOW IF THE CREW WAS JUST HAVING A BAD DAY......... July 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by CaliforniaSam Great hotel in convenient location! I've stayed here 4 times in the past 8 months. This hotel is conveniently located to everything in Dallas. The rooms are modern, spacious and clean. The hotel staff is very responsive. Great customer service! They recognize me when I check-in. June 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by tetesal Wonderful Responsive Service I couldn't ask for better service. Any problem brought to the attention of the staff was taken care of immediately, and none of the staff members could have been more helpful. Everything was done to make the stay of our large group enjoyable. August 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by GlennV Not Good My first room sink was clogged and it took two hours to get a different room and then the second room smelled of mildew & mold from the A/C. Both rooms the wall paper was comming off the walls and the carpet and sofa both had stains on them. August 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Manju This hotel does not utilize its full potential The hotel becomes over-priced after they charge you for parking space and in-room internet service. I also expected better inside-pool conditions. The ambiance of the pool is gloomy, and dirty. Water was extremely cold, and also very dirty. May 15, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by ardila123 Overcharge The stay at the hotel was actually very good. The issue is that they overcharged my card and forgot to return the money....it has been over a month of constant calls and getting a "we are sorry you should have your money back in 5 days". August 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mub1963 An outstanding Starwood Property This is one of the best stays ever at a Starwood property--from the friendliness of staff to the great suites--at a very affordable price. Zero complaints. This would be my first choice on a return trip to Dallas. And great for families. February 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rosie68 decor This hotel was very quite, and the room was comfortable. Only issue was a old sort of musty smell. I figure from the old carpeting. Rooms could use a update in color and new carpet. The beds were comfortable and enjoyed the stay. July 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 08David great staff One of the best staffs I encounter and one returned my lost credit card (I dropped it in the parking lot) and the concierge man Jeremey was fantastic as he drove me to all the places I needed to go and was so helpful and classy! November 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cattails Friendly Staff I always enjoy staying at the Sheraton Market Suites because of the convenience to the Dallas Market. In addition to this, the hotel is always clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. See you again for the next Market. Sue September 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Weylan52 Great Hotel and Great Location this hotel was perfect for me in every way. It was clean and in a location that was eash to find and access. The staff were friendly and smiled and greeted me each time I passed somone in the hotel. A very friendly atmosphere. July 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by AlleyCat71 This hotel is well located and well maintained. I stay here as often as I can when traveling to Dallas. June 16, 2014

Nonstick 5-qt saute pan with lid is a very sturdy and well built pan by Calphalon
Daniel from Clute, TX– Verified Buyer
My wife was extremely please with this large pan that accommodates large type dishes like chicken and rice and the best part is that the clean up is just wipe it clean easy. I would recommend this 5-qt pan for large families that need to cook large portions for a big family or special events. The nonstick actually works and we are extremely pleased with this purchase.
Joseph from Virginia– Verified Buyer
Great craftsmanship, easy to clean, heat dissipation throughout the entire pan, and great balance. When you can find Calphalon at a great price you should never hesitate to buy. I would recommend this to everyone for sure.
Robert from Kendall, NY– Verified Buyer
My wife's request much better than expected and on time.
Great pan for large amounts!
NL from RI– Verified Buyer
This is a great non-stick pan that can be used for sauteing, frying, sauces...
Heavy-duty without being heavy
Raych from Victoria, BC– Verified Buyer
Excellent, sturdy pan that isn't too heavy to lift with one hand. I use this pan daily for everything from stir-fry to pancakes and once it heats up it cooks evenly, even around the edges. Tiny scratch marks did appear soon after I started using it even though I only use wooden utensils, but they don't seem to have affected the pan's performance and the surface does not appear to be flaking off at all. Nothing sticks to this pan, I barely have to use any oil or butter.
Great pan
MH from Des Moines– Verified Buyer
Were very happy with our purchase of this pan. Its a perfect size for our family. The sides are nice and high so food doesnt spill out too easily. Its easy to pick using both handles.
Kimberly Carbone from Somerdale, NJ– Verified Buyer
This is an excellent product. Great quality for the money. My mom was very happy opening it on Christmas morning.
Great Pan
Nancy Smith from Leesburg, VA– Verified Buyer
LOVE this pan. Even cooking, easy cleanup! Highly recommend it! I wish it were a little bigger, it replaced an Emeril non-stick pan that warped over time.
Simply Nonstick Calphalon 5 qt pan
marshmallow cottage from Pawtucket, RI– Verified Buyer
The Calphalon that I ordered from Wayfairs is fabulous! The price was great for my 8 pc st I paid $150.00 and then another [$] for the 5qt saute pan. I needed a pan this size because of some of the meals I make. This pan holds all the food I put in it without overflow! Wonderful!! Love it!! So easy to care for and clean, too.
Fantastic pan
Pat from Somerville, MA
When do you ever NOT need a saute pan? I use it for everything (reheating food, cooking up a stir fry, cooking steak). It's a really great item, great price, and even better quality. With the lid sealed on top it heats up super fast and the food cooks nicely and evenly. On top of it all, cleaning is made really easy with it being non stick--definitely true to name.
OUR SKU # CPH1634Simply Nonstick 5-qt. Saute Pan with Lid is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: SA5005H

This week's NY1/Time Warner Cable Business Class Scholar Athlete of the Week is comfortable in the water as well as the classroom, where she hopes to head down a career path in engineering. NY1's Priya Desai filed the following report.
Camelia Abu-Ghazaleh is a member of multiple team sports at Grover Cleveland High School, but it's in the pool where she really flourishes. "I learn how to push myself," she says. "It's completely different from a bunch of other sports. I mean, when you run, you push yourself, but you're not in a closed space under water, where it's just you and the actual water."
The high school senior has been swimming longer than she can remember.
"I grew up in the water," she says. "Every summer, I was put into the pool for the entire summer from beginning to end. It stuck to me, and I grew to love it."
Camelia's childhood love of the water has lead to a spot on the varsity swim team. More importantly, swimming has helped her to learn her greatest strength, both as student and an athlete.
"I work much better under pressure than with a bunch of leeway," she said.
Grace under pressure is how Camelia balances sports with being the student council president, swim captain and member of the debate club, all while keeping up with her AP courses and her favorite subject, math.
"I was always someone who was into math," she says. "But in high school, when I started, especially when I took calculus, I just grew to love it more and more with each day in class."
"She's very motivated," says Robert Catalino, Camelia's AP Statistics teacher. "Very quick to answer questions. She also asks brilliant questions."
The senior's transcript boasts of AP classes in Honors Geometry, Calculus and Statistics, a heavy load for the honor student who hopes to major in engineering, a career path that doesn't see nearly enough women.
"That's partly why I want to become an engineer," she says.
"Right away, from the get go, she was a student who was involved in making this a better place to be, making this a better school, thinking of others," says Denise Vittor, principal of Grover Cleveland High School. "But then, I met her mom, her mom's very involved as well, and her mom said she was always that way."
For Camelia, it's her mom's words to her as a child that really help to set her aspirations of becoming an engineer.
"My mom taught me from a really young age [that] you're not different from anyone else," Camelia says. "You can push yourself just as much as anyone can. So that really set the goal for me."
So, for showing that you can grow up to be whatever you want no matter who you are, Camelia Abu-Ghazaleh is our NY1/Time Warner Cable Business Class Scholar Athlete of the Week.

Rapid Response Team - page 4
Is anyone here a part of or does your hospital participate in a Rapid Response Team. Our hospital sent me to a conference a couple of weeks ago and now I am supposed to come up with criteria for a team. The RRT will be members of... Read More
- 0Let me apologize in advance (although I could just edit out my previous remarks, I won't)
I worked medical for 3 yrs before moving to ICU.
I'm generally opposed to the arrogance some ICU nurses have: moving to ICU was a serious 2 yr learning curve for me before I felt anywhere near comfortable w/ pts on vents, etc. And I realize it's a different skill set. I respect floor nurses because I've been one and know what a job it is.
Most ICU nurse have some serious experience under the belts, at least the ones that will be tapped for this RRT. And that should be the model: experienced nurses aiding inexperienced nurses.
It's not that the ICU nurse responding is going to be a 'better' nurse by position of being in the ICU; it's that they are going to more than likely be a 'better' nurse by means of experience.
And that's fine. That's what you need in an emergency: an experienced nurse that can pick up on things a more inexperienced nurse might miss (and by previous comment, I stated that the more experienced floor nurses aren't going to be likely to call someone to get in the way of what they already know to do).
But a near code situation is not the time or place to play up the teaching aspects of nursing: do you want us all to feel good about an encounter, or do you want a pt taken care of, in short order.
What rubs me wrong about this is that the RRT model everybody is working from stresses that this is a teaching opportunity, if only the ICU nurses will 'play nice' instead of 'showing off'. So lets pretend it's NOT about more experience being available in a close situation and instead it's about collaboration.
And I bristle at that thought. If I have to take time from MY patients to respond, then let me respond and get back to my job: this whole touchy feely aspect of the RRT is going to be its downfall.
And the model recognizes this but doesn't care: it just dismisses it with healthy doses of ivory-towered nursing 'theory' that we are all in it to advance each other. I'm surprised the nurses from both units aren't being advised to therapeutically touch each other. . .
This model just encourages having your feelings hurt - why?: because you are smart enough to know you need help. And that's garbage. It's garbage for the floor nurse that needs the help and recognizes it, and is garbage for the ICU nurse that can provide the help.
I'm not putting down the floor nurses by any means. I have a great respect for any nurse that knows when they need help and asks for it: it's the nurses that don't know when they need help that scares me.
But the touchy feely design of this program is going to create bad feelings, on both sides of the coin. And that's what frustrates me. A near emergency is not the time nor place to play ivory towered games.
- 0Aug 4, '05 by DidiRN GuideWhere I am at, the RRT are a group of ICU-experienced nurses who do nothing but RRT. They are available to help out with codes, patients on the floor who are crumping, visitors who get into trouble themselves, or help transport ICU patients to procedures if they have time. They can also assist with IV starts, pull sheaths if the unit nurses aren't qualifiied to do so, help out the unit nurses if they need help as well as floor nurses, etc.
I think it's a great idea and a great asset to us. However, I could see big problems if it was staffed by ICU nurses who already have an assignment in the unit and also expected to do this too.
- 0Aug 4, '05 by canoeheadQuote from conklipIf the patient needs critical care they should be on a critical care unit.Please....the charge nurses are worthless, you need someone with critical care skills.
If not...requiring some advanced education and knowledge of our charge nurses seems more realistic, and would benefit every unit on a 24/7 basis.Last edit by canoehead on Aug 4, '05
- 0Aug 4, '05 by JustMeQuote from justmandaI commend you for a job well done! That's exactly what you should have been doing--but I also understand that many floor nurses are badly understaffed to take the time with a really sick patient. Preventing a transfer to the ICU should have started with holding the BP meds if the BP was marginal to begin with. We do this in our Unit all the time, but then again we're taking VS q15-30 mins, something the floors don't have time to do. I'm not saying the RRT doesn't have its place, but it seems the hospital is throwing pennies at a bigger problem--enough ICU space and appropriate admissions to those limited beds.Our hospital just started the RRT (We call it a Stat Team). I never use them unless the house supervisor makes me when I call for an ICU bed. It seems they only exist (in our hospital anyway) to prevent unnecessary transfers to the ICU. I work on Cardiac Tele and we maintain cardiac drips. I usually call the doctor when I need someone to give me orders, not another nurse. The nurses in our ICU are grumpy (because they have to leave their patients) and all they do is ask silly questions that any nurse would have already considered. Patient is hypotensive (did you give them any BP meds lately?) duh! They are in rapid a-fib with a bp of 80/40 (due to the HR) they need to be started on Cardiziem or the like. Why do I need to call another nurse down to tell me to call the doctor? Doesn't that just delay treatment? The nursing supervisor called the Stat team to our unit the other day--different patient. (I was charge) and we had already talked to the doctor, given 2 fluid boluses and started the pt on dopamine. ***** But, on the ICU nurse's behalf, they are probably feeling silly asking us silly questions. I understand they are just doing what they were assembled to do. One ICU nurse, after she was given a verbal request on the phone to come down for a patient who had been having seizures on and off for a few hours, told us to pad the side rails. Didn't we learn that in week 2 of nursing school? Also, we had already given the meds the doctor ordered and gotten an order to transfer to ICU...so what is the purpose of the STAT team?
- 0Aug 4, '05 by justmandaQuote from ZASHAGALKAI get it. And I understand it is management who is putting both of us (the floor nurses and the ICU nurses) in an awkward situation. Let me give you an example. A post cardiac cath patient suddenly has a bp of 210/110 (baseline 120/70). His urine output over the last 8 hours is minimal and he is has a fever of 102. My first thought would be he is in acute renal failure secondary to the cath dye. Do I call the doctor? No. I call you and you tell me that he is probably having a problem clearing the dye and you tell me to call the doctor. It's as if we have to clear it with the RRT before we actually do something. I think it is a waste of both of our time and it delays treatment. I mean, how many nurses does it take to screw in a light bulb? It also puts you guys in a precarious position, legally speaking. You don't know this patient. What if I charted that I called the RRT for assistance and the case goes to court? You know your name will be mentioned and you will have to get involved in the legal case. Perhaps the system needs a little tweeking like, say...have a team that's sole responsibility is to respond to these situations and, therefore, has the time to stabilize the patient for you. Even then, I would still be reluctant to hand over the care of my patient to someone else. I like handling a crisis and finding my way out of one. It's obvious that I just don't understand how it can be anything other than the hand-holding process you described.Because ICU nurses can be intimidating to floor nurses, we aren't supposed to direct the RRT situation, but instead, 'advise'. It was stressed that we had to 'play nice' and not be the assertive nurses that we tend to be.
So, I have to suggest solutions and 'collaborate' and explain what is being done and why. It's a happy teaching circle, hold hands and find your happy spot.
That's what I mean when I say the directives to the ICU nurses regarding the RRT has been to 'play nice'. We wouldn't want to seem like we are responding because we know what to do, that wouldn't be 'collaboration' (and that might hurt some feelings). Instead, we'll 'play' like we're putting our heads together to come up with a mutual plan of action.
(in reality neither the ICU nurse nor the Med/Tele/Etc nurse is going to have time for a happy 'advance the nursing profession' confab - it's gonna end up being a Rapid Response for Transfer to ICU team.)
It's the same ivory tower crap that leads to banning dodge ball because somebuddy might get their little feelings hurt . . .
I am normally appalled when ICU nurses act haughty and arrogant. But I won't get away from this thread without being tagged as being what I oppose: but my complaint is that this whole deal seems designed to create and sustain that stereotype.
So stereotype me. It's what I expect from the RRT and what I expect from being a realist on a RRT thread.
You put an ICU nurse in a position where they are supposed to be an ICU nurse without acting like an ICU nurse, and poof, hurt feelings and bad mojo abounds.
And saying 'play nice' isn't going to make it nice.
- 0Quote from justmandaMost hospitals aren't going to shell out for a dedicated team. Mine isn't.What if I charted that I called the RRT for assistance and the case goes to court? You know your name will be mentioned and you will have to get involved in the legal case. Perhaps the system needs a little tweeking like, say...have a team that's sole responsibility is to respond to these situations and, therefore, has the time to stabilize the patient for you. Even then, I would still be reluctant to hand over the care of my patient to someone else. I like handling a crisis and finding my way out of one. It's obvious that I just don't understand how it can be anything other than the hand-holding process you described.
Regarding liability:
1.Part of it is liability: from both ends. If it's your patient, turning a problem over to a RRT isn't going to relieve you of responsibility (I can just see a defense lawyer: 'so you admit the hospital put you in a situation that you couldn't handle . . .')
2. If you are the ICU nurse, then picking up a particular problem on the fly can mean you miss something significant about the whole picture (and this is why collaboration is important, but! the nurse that is out of his/her league w/ the particular problem might also be out of his/her league with understanding the ramifications of a particular treatment (for this problem that required assistance) on the whole patient - and only (s)he has knowledge of whole. But who's liability is it gonna be when the ICU nurse's problem oriented treatment creates worse problems for the patient as a whole?: a problem someone with the same level of experience AND knowledge of the whole patient would have avoided? Remember, this program is designed, I think, to be utilized by the inexperienced nurse and not the floor nurse with enough experience to handle a problem on his/her own.
3. I'm sure this program IS about liability: it's a way for management to state that they were taking proactive measures to avoid 'failure to rescue'.
I only have to hope that it's also about saving lives. Maybe I'm not quite so cynical to believe otherwise yet. And to the extent that it is about saving lives, I don't want to dismiss the idea in its entirety. But it's going to take a ton of tweaking before it's an effective idea.
And this is why the ANA and the AACN demand bedside nursing input on such ideas from drawing board to implementation: to allow for those that must implement the program to critique and have a hand in tailoring it so that it ACTUALLY works in the trenches. . .
But my biggest problem is still the concept that, because the patient hasn't coded quite yet, there should be enough time for the nurses to get together and have a happy hand-holding seance and make sure that everybody comes out of the experience emotionally enriched.
As a floor nurse, you might be a little tweaked when an ICU nurse comes in and 'takes over' a code, but everybody knows that is the ICU team member's role. When you try to deliberately confuse roles, as is being done in RRT, it's gonna create confusion and hurt feelings.
And I guess the thing that upsets me more than the liability dance being done is this 'We know you can't go talk to the floor nurses without being the rude ICU nurse you are, so here are the rules to make sure you 'be nice'.
- 0Aug 4, '05 by pickledpepperRNI can't understand a reason to have ICU nurses responsible for an assignment of one or more patients being forced to respond to impending or actual emergencies on another unit.
Don't the ICU patients need a nurse at all times?
I do think a RRT or what some local hospitals have as the "Code Team" consisting of a "crisis nurse". respiratory therapist, pharmacist, and nursing supervisor.
The "crisis nurse" can be called to prevent "failure to rescue", to transport a patient off a monitored unit for a test (with ACLS equipment etcetera), or to admit a patient in an emergency.
The "crisis nurse does not have an assignment. One hospital calls this position "Transport Team Nurse". They go pick up patients at hospitals without the facilities available at their hospital. SO they are not available to the rest of the units when on a run. Then one of the critical care charge nurses, who have no patient assignment except meal break relief, respond to a code.
- 0Quote from spacenurseThe RRT is different than a code team. The RRT is an ICU nurse and an RT - they have a protocol they can act from: give neb tx, draw labs, get ekg, oxygen, etc. The point is that that either head off a code, or at least have handy labs and other stuff available before it gets to that point . . .I do think a RRT or what some local hospitals have as the "Code Team" consisting of a "crisis nurse". respiratory therapist, pharmacist, and nursing supervisor.
The code team is utilized during an actual ACLS emergency.
The RRT team is supposed to be for input when the nurse doesn't think things are 'right' but the patient isn't actually emergent - yet. The point is supposed to be to foster an earlier interaction than a code in order to head off some codes before they get to that point.
There's been alot of effort to get us nurses to 'buy-into' this RRT recently.
But you know, everytime I hear the phrase 'nurse buy-in' I have to be alert - 'buy-in' is management code for: how do we get them to BUY even more garbage. (we wouldn't HAVE to buy into something good for us).
- 0Aug 4, '05 by FornursesdotorgThe rapid response team is not just a lamebrain management initiative. The rapid response team concept was born out of the IOM report on needless deaths in healthcare. The info below is right of the IHI website referred to by another poster:
Institute for Healthcare Improvement
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) is a not-for-profit organization driving the improvement of health by advancing the quality and value of health care. Health care is a highly complex system with many broken parts. The good news is that for every broken part in our system, there are remarkable examples of excellence organizations that have overcome enormous obstacles to redesign the way patient care is delivered.
Unfortunately, these examples are too few. As the Institute of Medicine (IOM) declared in 2001, in words that still ring true, Between the health care we have and the care we could have lies not just a gap, but a chasm. Health care does not yet reliably transfer best-known science into action, and processes frequently fail, despite the best intentions of a dedicated and highly skilled workforce. Our system, which intends to heal, too often does just the opposite leading to unintended harm and unnecessary deaths at alarming rates.
100,000 Lives
IHI and other organizations that share our mission are convinced that a remarkably few proven interventions, implemented on a wide enough scale, can avoid 100,000 deaths over the next 18 months, and every year thereafter. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that two million patients suffer hospital-acquired infections each year. ( And guess what....most of these are from healthcare workers who do not wash their hands or follow appropriate aseptic technique) The US spends the most money on health care of all (advanced) industrialized nations [1], but it performs more poorly than most on many measures of health care quality [2].
The 100,000 Lives Campaign aims to enlist thousands of hospitals across the country in a commitment to implement changes in care that have been proven to prevent avoidable deaths.
Deploy Rapid Response Teams at the first sign of patient decline
Deliver Reliable, Evidence-Based Care for Acute Myocardial Infarction to prevent deaths from heart attack
Prevent Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) by implementing medication reconciliation
Prevent Central Line Infections by implementing a series of interdependent, scientifically grounded steps called the Central Line Bundle
Prevent Surgical Site Infections by reliably delivering the correct perioperative care
Prevent Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia by implementing a series of interdependent, scientifically grounded steps called the Ventilator Bundle
Very similar to the Leap Frog Group, this group is trying to guide healthcare providers to adopt strategies with a basis in scientific methods and proven outcomes. Basically, this group has studied practice in facilities who are generating better outcomes than the rest of us to determine what is it they are doing to make a difference. In turn, they are asking all of us to implement these initiatives.
- 0Aug 4, '05 by pickledpepperRNQuote from ZASHAGALKAI work registry sometimes and talk to the agency nurses who come to our hospital. I don't think this has come to LA (yet)....There's been alot of effort to get us nurses to 'buy-into' this RRT recently.
But you know, everytime I hear the phrase 'nurse buy-in' I have to be alert - 'buy-in' is management code for: how do we get them to BUY even more garbage. (we wouldn't HAVE to buy into something good for us).
CCU Nurse posted this about, I think Oklahoma University Hospital. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I didn't know the nutses would also have a patient assignment.
The "crisis nurse" can be called by any nurse on any floor for help or advice. It is always an experienced critical care nurse. If there is a conflict the shift supervisor decides where to send the Crisis nurse".
I am thinking, "What about a clinical nurse specialist? At least on weekday shifts they are a wonderful resource.

In 1990, Jon Huntsman, Sr. made a business decision that most in corporate America would probably have called insane. He was intensely negotiating the biggest business deal of his life with Charles Miller Smith, the head of a British chemical company. Deep into the negotiations over the acquisition, Smith's wife died. She had been suffering from terminal cancer. It was unfortunate, but business is business and the negotiation was incomplete. On top of that, Huntsman had millions of dollars on the line -- money that would be his if he just pushed Smith further.
But he didn't.
"I decided the fine points of the last 20 percent of the deal would stand as they were proposed," he later wrote. "I probably could have clawed another $200 million out of the deal, but it would have come at the expense of Charles' emotional state. The agreement as it stood was good enough."
When people are stressed out, their first instinct is to protect themselves -- or to retreat into a taker mentality. But operating like a giver may actually be more effective in buffering against stress and enhancing well-being.
In his 2008 book Winners Never Cheat, Huntsman summarized his philosophy on business and life, writing, "Monetarily, the most satisfying moments in my life have not been the excitement of closing a great deal or the reaping of profits from it. They have been when I was able to help others in need ... There's no denying that I am a deal junkie, but I also have developed an addiction for giving. The more one gives, the better one feels; and the better one feels about it, the easier it becomes to give."
Huntsman is what organizational psychologist Adam Grant calls, in his provocative new book, a "giver." In Give and Take, Grant, the youngest tenured professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, wields a large body of social science research, much of it his own, to challenge the idea that career success is a zero-sum game in which your gains equal my losses, a harmful idea that discourages people from helping each other out at work.
In Grant's book, the reader encounters three types of people: givers, takers, and matchers. Matchers reciprocate favors and good deeds tit-for-tat. Takers try to tilt the balance of a transaction in their own favor, hoping to get more than they give -- the type of person who takes credit for someone else's work. Givers are the opposite. Their hallmark is generosity. Crudely put, givers are focused on others, takers are focused on themselves, and matchers care above all about fairness.
Most people are givers in their personal relationships. They act selflessly and try to contribute more than they take with those they love. But when these people enter the workforce, their style of interacting with others changes dramatically. As Grant told me in an interview, "There is an extraordinary number of people who are in a giver mindset at home and a matcher or taker mindset in the work setting." Only 8 percent of people describe themselves as givers at work. That's because most people think it's safer to operate like a taker or matcher at work; givers, they think, are chumps who will fall behind in the game of life.
Across four other studies, researchers found that giving time away -- in the form of volunteering -- makes people feel like they actually have more time than if they spent time on themselves, wasted time, or got a random bit of free time.
Grant explodes that myth in his book, showing that givers are among the most successful people in business. They may also be the happiest. "There is powerful evidence," Grant tells me "that givers experience more meaning in their work than takers or matchers."

Point me in the direction of past thefts and maybe I'll start to believe that Ramy's practices are less than admirable. I still stand by my argument that intentionally trying to hurt someone's feelings is just mean, and, quite honestly, uncalled for.
This is beautiful. I love the Shinto prayer rope around the tree, what a great touch. GMV!

Re: aPEELing Onion
I love this so much, it hurts.
Oscillating Orange Octagons
The octagons oscillate in color from a dark near-red orange to a light near-yellow orange. They also oscillate between 0 and 45 degrees of rotation.
I wanted to do something simple and graphic for this derby.
Re: Orion Nebula
I like the stars. It's a reverse of the "window into space" thematic element.
I love your work <3. Do you use Illustrator?
Re: The Orb-Weaver
I hate spiders (mostly because of the webs they weave!) but that is so gorgeous, it gets my vote (and hopeful purchase) anyway!
Re: Ocarina of Timepieces
Very clever and nicely done - classic SpiritGreen
Re: Over Caffeinated Octopus
Big Thanks to everyone who helped with their input on this in the pre-derby thread. Really appreciate all the great feedback!
Re: Origami Ocean
Six colors on Royal Blue.
Here's a higher-resolution image. Be sure to check out the seahorse in the bottom right, which was accidentally obscured in the shirt comp image.
Thanks for voting, and good luck to all derby entrants!
Re: Omphalos of Omphale
Belly ring?
Oh my, matching designs! I love it! This is my favorite of the two, but I'd happily take both. <3
Burlesque onions : D Walmazan, you are the only person I know of capable of pulling this off with so much class and style. An excellent veggie follow up to Fresh Cakes. GMV+1
Re: Orly Owls' Opprobrium
The monocle one is the best. Good job, and GMV.
Re: Octopus wins the Olympics!
Animalympics! or is that copyrighted? You just feel bad for that ocelot and the bear is Oso incase some ppl wondered. I tried putting as many O's without being too cluttered.
Re: Owl I Want is a Cup of Coffee
Well that's how i was this morning :P, just more cranky.

Not exactly a match, but hey, it could be an Overhead view, and it still would qualify for Outer space. OK?
Re: Orca's Ocean
I like how simple and relaxing this one is (- -) Zeeeeeennnnn.....

Good thing this design is more beautiful than every single Google Images result from your link!
Great work, Patrick :]
Re: Ocarina For Heroes.
Also no text.

Loving the color choices on this one. The yellow against the red and woven throughout via the tentacles works nicely.

Feedback welcome and greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Belly button. Reference to the filk song "I Am The Very Model Of A Heroine Barbarian".
Re: The Good Octopus
Put that on a t-shirt so we know where it goes!!!
It is really good and I'd vote for it, but it will get rejected if you don't show it on a shirt. Good luck!
I know that I merely one of many voices who will say "woah" upon seeing this. The level of intracacy that you hav going on, not just with the web house, but the fact that you added little touches of flies here and there; and not all of the lights are on in the house.
The work here is fantastic.
Re: Obliging Overloaded Ox
That's cute (^ ^).
This is so cute it makes me cry. Or wait, maybe that's just the onions I'm cutting...
LOL! Love how the owl is on the mug...meta shirt!
