As with all areas of medicine, nutrition practice relies on evidence generated from research studies. For the latest guidelines and research summaries, check out the recently renovated Evidence Analysis Library of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The EAL is driven by thorough review of published research studies, and many thanks to the reviewers who work to make this repository of information available and searchable!
If you'd like to participate earlier in the evidence generating process, check out the listing of clinical trials currently underway at ClinicalTrials.gov. Provided by the National Institutes of Health, this website allows the public to search for human participants' research studies that are recruiting, active, or complete. Use the search bar on the home page to search for trials relating to conditions or topics. For example, as of this writing there are 1,006 studies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov about vitamin E. As an example of informatics in action, if you search "vitamin E" on this site, it will automatically also search for synonyms and related terms, such as alpha-tocopherol.
Another way to participate in research is to create a profile with ResearchMatch.org. Whereas ClinicalTrials.gov lets you find research studies, ResearchMatch lets research studies find you. ResearchMatch was developed by Vanderbilt University with funding from the NIH, and allows users to create a free profile with as much (or as little) of their health information as they wish.
Once your profile is created, ResearchMatch will anonymously check your information against the inclusion and exclusion criteria for studies that are looking for participants. If you are a possible match for a study, you will receive an email with information about the study and how you may be able to participate. If you choose, you can then grant the study permission to contact you. If the study doesn't interest you, then the researchers will never know your name or your health information. You decide whether to share your information with a study.
There's a tremendous amount of informatics helping run both ClinicalTrials.gov and ResearchMatch.org, but volunteers are the most important piece of the puzzle. Check them both out today!

The spectrum of nutrition implementation in Electronic Health Records (EHR) is both vast and highly inconsistent. A recent member wrote reporting that as a private practice RDN, the physician's office she worked for did not want her to document in their record; they simply scanned her nutrition care note in and uploaded it into the EHR. So what do you say to that?
I could go on with other points; the take-away is that nutrition advocacy comes with the territory of practicing nutrition care. We have made great progress but the need for constant advocacy will continue. Please share any stories you have!
For sure, the adoption of electronic health records (EHR) in the U.S. is proceeding at an unprecedented pace-primarily due to the HITECH Act. As I have mentioned previously, the Academy has participated in the activities driven by this law since it began in 2009. As a regular participant at in-person meetings (both the HIT Policy Committee and the HIT Standards Committee) in Washington, DC, I have had the wonderful privilege of meeting and asking the advice of national leaders in health care and health information technology. From my first public comments (in September 2009) asking for use of the Academy's Nutrition Care Process (NCP) and the International Dietetics and Nutrition Terminology (now called the Nutrition Care Process Terminology or NCPT), the recurring theme was to ask for what I call the differentiating "brand" of nutrition care via the RDN—the NCP. As I asked one expert after another – "What do we (the Academy) need to do to make sure we are included as a part of the health care team as health care goes digital?" The answer has been the same—consistently—for the past five years:
Following policy advice from Jeanne Blankenship (Vice President Policy Initiatives and Advocacy) for "constant, appropriate, appreciable pressure" – the Interoperability and Standards Committee and member volunteers have pushed forward for all of the above. As a result, there is now the NCP represented in the next release of a presently mandated HL7 standard (Release 1 of the standard must now be supported by all Certified EHRs). While the name may be intimidating – (HL7 Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture or C-CDA for short) - the message to RDNs and EHR vendors need not be:
While having to advocate for nutrition care seems illogical to RDNs, it comes with the territory. We need to continue to impress that nutrition care be part of the treatment plan. For an example of why we need to use the HL7 health IT standards which contain nutrition, read a recent HIMSS post. And remember—Constant appropriate appreciable pressure. It does work!

Questions about "HIPAA", health care privacy and security always require considerable time to answer. As the United States adopts and uses electronic health records and other sources of health information technology, multiple parameters should be used to evaluate risk. While data breeches involving credit cards allow for an easier recovery—such as credit monitoring and issuance of a new credit card, health data breeches are complicated. If private, very personal data that could be used to discriminate against individuals is erroneously accessed or shared—it cannot be "called back", "replaced" or "corrected". As privacy and security standards and policies are tightened, there is a great "one stop shop" for privacy and security of health data using EHRs. Members should also check their local, state level laws on health data policies as these pre-empt any national requirements. For more information, go to: Health Information Privacy, Security, and Your EHR.

While working to implement the Health Level 7 (HL7) Role Code terminology set used to define the relationship to patient for family medical history, a question came up regarding how to map the end-user "pick-list" selections to HL7 terms. The vendor had not provided a full copy of the terminology set based on terms contained in OID 2.16.840.1.113883.5.111 and asked the following question:
What is the difference between "Son/Daughter" and "Natural Son/Daughter"?
The HL7 Role Code terminology set works as follows:
· Child (Level 1)
– Son (Level 2)
oNatural Son (Level 3)
oAdopted Son (Level 3)
oFoster Son (Level 3)
oStep Son (level 3)
– Daughter (Level 2)
oNatural Daughter (Level 3)
oAdopted Daughter (Level 3)
oFoster Daughter (Level 3)
oStep Daughter (Level 3)
In an ideal world, all electronic health record systems (EHR-S) would provide users every possible selection, and users would select the correct value. The reality is that providing users with 80+ different types of relationships to select from when entering family history information is perhaps not realistic, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has not mandated a level of specificity that all EHR-S must achieve for certification. This means we must map data selected by an end-user to a value in a terminology set.
In the above example, mapping a generic to a more specific (eg, Son/Daughter→Natural Son/Daughter) is not considered a good practice, because it creates invalid data. In this particular case, mapping Son/Daughter to Natural Son/Daughter has only about a 25% chance of accuracy. Mapping from the more specific to a generic (eg, Natural Son/Daughter→Son/Daughter) is an acceptable practice, because downstream it does not invalidate data even though it removes specificity.
The goal of gathering this information is to populate Summary of Care/Continuity of Care documents for interoperability, provide meaningful use data to the government via the Quality Reporting Document Architecture standard, research, and likely some other uses I have not thought to include. In all of these uses, it is necessary to consider sacrificing data specificity as an industry best practice in order to maintain data integrity/validity needs.

But moving south to Cleveland was not the easiest thing Hill ever did. Her passion for helping people and speaking about her God was sometimes blinded by prejudice and subtle preconceived ideas about welcoming other cultures into the community.
Born in Nassau, Bahamas, Hill was very familiar with the Cleveland area due to her family's regular attendance of the General Assembly for the Church of God of Prophecy in the 1950s. She first came to Cleveland for the 1980 General Assembly.
"I went straight to New York City from the Bahamas," she said. "I lived between New York and New Jersey for more than two years. The culture was great! You met people from all over the world! I have family members right in Manhattan. But I heard so much about Cleveland and Lee University that my desire was to come here. When I came to Cleveland in 1980, it was worse than Nassau to me. I was from the city of Nassau and it was very much a city. But Cleveland was small."
Still, this is where Hill said she believes she was called to minister, so she moved to Cleveland a few years later and attended Lee where she received her bachelor of science degree in Christian education and a master of arts degree in leadership ministries from the Pentecostal Theological Seminary. Cleveland is also where she met James Eric Hill, her husband of 28 years.
Hill admits when she decided to move south and attend Lee, she was confronted with a prejudice she did not understand. Adding, "Even though it was a religious college it was like you felt it, although they were friendly. I saw it more with other people than with me, although I did experience it."
Being outgoing and friendly, Hill said she was able to overcome most of what she experienced but confessed, "It hit me more after I got married and had kids, and had to get out among people. Don't forget, it's not just being a black woman — but being a woman from the Islands, my culture, my accent — I saw prejudice when I went on job interviews. There was discrimination and humiliation. I had my bachelor's degree, so I knew I was qualified. I could discern that it was because of where I was from."
Hill said she made her dilemma a matter of prayer and came to realize that her experience was only preparing her for trials that lie ahead and gave her an opportunity to apply God's Word.
"Yes, in my early years in Cleveland, prejudice was more prevalent. With my character and personality I have been able to overcome such prejudices and challenges in accepting others. I believe the years I spent in New York prepared me for the prejudices in the South. I knew God had directed me to Cleveland. I had a purpose to fulfill. I believe prejudice is a learned experience, which can be unlearned. Most of the time, I was misunderstood because of the characteristic of who I am is related to my culture. What helped me mature is the Scripture in Matthew chapter 5 that says, 'Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.'"
Since then Hill has become a welcomed and beloved staple in the community, active in various church and community projects.
"One of my main callings was feeding our community," she said. "I worked along with pastors and local churches arranging vacation Bible school, children's crusades and other programs."
Hill also hosts a 30-minute broadcast on WTNB Channel 5 every Sunday at 7 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. called, "Prayer Time" and a 15-minute radio broadcast on religious devotion every Wednesday between 4 and 4:30 p.m. on Cleveland's local WOOP FM 99.9FM.
"I feel that I am reaching so many people by my Christian media programs by introducing the nation and even the world to Cleveland," she said. "I feel that I am helping Cleveland by networking on the radio, through the Worldwide Web, by speaking the Word of God. My latest project is my third book called, 'The P.L.P. Chronicle and Political Poems.' This book tells some of the foundations of the Progressive Liberal Party of The Bahamas. It is a combination of biblical, cultural, political, and classical writings. This is a special gift to my country for our 40th year of Independence this year, which I plan on being a part of. We are celebrating our Independence on July 10."
The 54-year-old evangelist says her ministry covers various denominations in examining the spiritual condition of local churches in general. In her estimation, Hill said, "My spiritual analysis is that we are not where we should be at this point in time. Just look back to where we were before. People are coming into our community with different problems. The church is not prepared to deal with people who come in with drug addiction, mental illness, gangs and things like that. We are fighting the enemy himself in our churches. We are a very religious community. People know about God, but they don't really know who God is — and they need to get to know Him — what He thinks and what He is saying."
Eric and Norma have two grown children, Victor, 27, who lives in Nashville and Jamie, 24, a senior studying English at Lee.
"What I like about family life is that we take part in worship almost every day in our home," she said. "We work together to accomplish our family growth. When God created my family, He had a special assignment prepared for us to help fulfill His purpose."
Now that she has spent years in the City With Spirit, Hill said she is glad to be in Cleveland. She said what she like most about the people in the cozy community is that "most are spiritual, church-attending people who extend Southern hospitality."

Knoll ReGeneration Chair, Flex Back
designed by Formway Design
At a Glance:
Like the original Generation Chair, the Knoll ReGeneration Chair is pared down to the essence, the spirit, the elemental level. Simple to use and incredibly comfortable, the ReGeneration Chair is one of those chairs you get, sit and go. The adjustments are simple and minimal, yet provide functionality and responsiveness you expect from a top-quality office chair. The Flex Back Net is a high performing elastomer that cradles your back and provides optimal support across your entire torso.
What's to Like:
The ReGeneration Chair is designed to support you as you work and move. With a minimal design, the ReGeneration Chair weighs in at only 26 pounds. That lightness lets you move about with ease and gives you assurance that no materials were wasted in your office chair's construction. With a slim back and flex seat that responds to your movement the ReGeneration Chair is a new beast in the ergonomic office category.
What's Not to Like:
When a company with the proven track record of Knoll produces such an ergonomic and environmentall friendly office chair its tough to find negatives, but we'll give it a try. With simplicity and ease of use you lose the adjustability and customization that many other office chairs can provide.
Bottom Line:
High-performance, easy to use, environmentally friendly, and oh yeah the Knoll ReGeneration Chair looks great too. In the past Knoll may not have been known for its ergonomic office chairs, but with the Generation Chair and now the ReGeneration Chair it won't be long until they become a staple in the ergonomic office chair industry.
Materials:High performance elastomer Flex Back
Plastic or aluminum base with plastic components
Foam seat cushion with fabric upholstery
Overall Height: 38.1" to 43.3"
Overall Width: 26" (armless) or 28.5" (with arms)
Overall Depth: 24.6"
Seat Height: 15" - 19.7" with low cylinder, 16.4" - 21.6" with standard cylinder, 18" - 23.2" with high cylinder
Seat Depth: 16" to 18"
Seat Width: 19.7"
Innovative in its simplicity, he Knoll ReGeneration Chair minimizes component materials while maximizing performance. BIFMA level 3 certified, the ReGeneration Chair uses recycled, renewable and biobased materials that can actually contribute to your workplace gaining LEED Certification.

To increase the effectiveness of the Ecological Footprint as a tool for promoting ecological, social and economic sustainability, Global Footprint Network engages in the following activities:
Research and Development
All Ecological Footprint analyses are based on the National Footprint Accounts. These are detailed calculations on a nation-by-nation basis that provide the information essential for accurate Footprint analyses at any scale. We serve as the steward of these accounts, revising them annually to reflect current data and new developments in science. We also collaborate with academic institutions and other research organizations to refine this data and to further the science underlying the Footprint accounts. In consultation with our partners, research is also undertaken to sharpen processes for communicating and applying the Footprint methodology and to develop new, innovative applications. Our research efforts are guided by a Science and a Policy Advisory Council which includes both policy practitioners and leading scientists in fields such as ecology, biology, economics and political science.
Outreach and Community Building
We bring together the worldwide community of those using the Ecological Footprint, providing a forum where practitioners and scientists from academia, government, business and NGOs can pool their experience using this tool to promote sustainability. Here, Global Footprint Network partners share research findings, new applications of the methodology, tools that have been developed, effective communications strategies and practical results. We use our website, public lectures, media appearances and publications to reach out to current and prospective partners, as well as to the general public.
Education, Training and Application Support
To improve the quality, effectiveness and range of Footprint applications, we provide training courses, workshops and educational materials. We also work with partners who are engaging in Footprint projects, helping them to develop effective Footprint campaigns. In collaboration with academic institutions, we help develop research initiatives and educational programs.
The Ecological Footprint serves as a powerful lever for fostering sustainability by providing a common language and a clearly defined and scientifically valid way of measuring human demand on a planet with limited resources. This power is dependent on Footprint analyses being conducted consistently and rigorously, and results reported in a straightforward and non-misleading manner. To meet this goal, we are working with the Footprint community to establish ever improving, transparent quality standards for Ecological Footprint accounting and communication of findings. These standards will be reviewed and approved by a committee drawn from the Science and Policy Advisory Council. Eventually, an independent certification body will provide third-party auditing of Footprint assessments.

The previous night had a smoking second set, so the bar was high for night two. This show is a stellar performance. I had a good seat: a few rows from the floor, even with Kuroda on Page's side. I had used my previous night's ticket stub to get down to the lower level instead of my nosebleed seat. PYITE and My Soul were a good team for a high-energy opener, but Drowned is where I first got excited. Any music fan worth his salt knows that Quadrophenia kicks the crap out of Tommy. Drowned is one of the best songs off this album and has the best jam potential, as Phish demonstrated. An absolutely awesome jammed-out Gumbo came up soon after, similar to the 11/26/97 version. This segued nicely into Also Sprach Zarathustra. Now, this song is really cool and funky on its own merits, but it's also a chance for Chris Kuroda to solo. If you hear 2001 at an outdoor venue, it's just not nearly as good.
On this night, Chris blew everybody away. I love to hear this song indoors; the only thing that could have made it better would have been a straight-on view of the stage. A fairly straightforward YEM ended the set. An incredible David Bowie led off Set II. This version of Bowie is totally different then previous ones in Philly (12/15/95, 12/29/96, and 12/10/97). If this isn't proof of the band checking out old setlists before the show, I don't know what is. It clocks in at around twenty-eight minutes and it flew by for me, always an indication of a good jam. A raging Possum follows, and then the real highlight for me, the start/stop funk jam. This was utter musical euphoria. Especially during the first build-up, when they all started hitting the crescendo, Page did the build on the organ, and it all cuts out and the spotlight hits Trey. Wow. Unbelievable. Still probably the best moment for me at any concert. The end of the set was good, the Harry Hood was fun, but the real magic was in the first forty-five minutes. A rare Clapton cover (Crossroads) for an encore topped off the night.

Oral History Program Ruth Donaldson Brown Interviewed by Marci Farr 8 August 2008 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Ruth Donaldson Brown Interviewed by Marci Farr 8 August 2008 Copyright © 2009 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Dee School of Nursing was founded in 1910 to provide training for nurses who would staff the new Dee Memorial Hospital. The first class of eight nurses graduated from the school in 1913 and the school continued to operate until 1955, with a total of more than 700 graduates. A new nursing school and home located just east of the hospital was completed in 1917 and all nursing students were required to live in the home during their training. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the school's alumni before their stories disappear in the same way the Dee Hospital has disappeared. The oral interviews focus on how the women became involved with the school, their experiences going through training, and how they used the training. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

It was conducted August 8, 2008 and concerns her recollections and experiences with the Dee School of Nursing. The interviewer is Marci Farr. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Ruth Donaldson Brown for the Dee School of Nursing project. It is August 08, 2008. We are interviewing her at her home in Ogden, Utah. Ruth could you tell us a little bit about your early life, where you grew up, where you were educated, and a little bit about your family? RB: I was one of sixteen children. My father had two wives. His first wife died during the 1918 flu epidemic. Then he married my mother. I was the oldest child of the second family. So I grew up in a large family. We lived on 30th street just below Washington when it was a very nice area. There were a lot of people that became very prominent in Ogden during the years. It was a very nice area then. We grew up there part of the time and then when I was around ten or eleven we moved to what I'd call a city acre farm. It was a fifteen acre farm that my grandfather had. We lived there until I went into nurse's training. My family continued to live there for awhile. My dad, during World War II, went up to the ship yards in Seattle and worked and after they came back they lived on 30th street again and completed their life there. I have sixteen brothers and sisters. It might be interesting to know that every one of those, every one of my full brothers and sisters, there were nine of us…are college graduates…they have been married in the temple…they have served a mission…three of us are PhD's or EDD's…and the rest are all university graduates. 2 MF: That is amazing. RB: They have always been outstanding in their field. MF: That is great. RB: We had a very busy, happy, wonderful childhood. We played with each other, we played rubber guns and run sheepy run. We had a lot of friends and just had a great time. We had a really good childhood but did not have a lot. My father and mother, were very independent people; they were very proud, and would never take a penny of relief no matter how tough it got. They would work and make things work out. They wanted to be self sufficient. They passed that on to their children. They were hard workers. Every one of my brothers and sisters are very hard workers and have done very well. MF: Tell us what made you decide to become a nurse and why did you choose the Dee School of Nursing? RB: When I was younger I took violin lessons for about ten years and loved it and did quite well in it, played through school and so forth. I had thought maybe music but then I graduated and began to think seriously about being a dietician. One of my sister-in-laws was a nurse. She started talking about it so then I decided I might be interested in nursing. That is really what stimulated me to go into nursing. I did and I have loved it. MF: Good. That is great. Why did you choose the Dee Hospital? Because of the location? RB: Yes. I lived during the depression. It was the depression time then. I knew that anything I did with further education than high school I would have to finance. I 3 would have to work and do it because mother and dad just did not have the money. They were just too busy raising all these kids. MF: Why did you choose the Dee School of Nursing? RB: I chose it because of finances. It was really the only one I could afford. I worked all summer, saved every penny I had to get the money to go into nurses training. I wore the same brown, rump stained skirt all during nurses training we were so poor. All of us were. None of us had very much. None of the students did. They gave us five dollars a month and took most of that out if we broke a thermometer or some silly thing. We did not really get much but that is what really promoted me or encouraged me to do the Dee because it was convenient and it was feasible, it was affordable. MF: Tell us about when you first entered nurses training. What were your impressions when you first started school? RB: When I first entered it I liked it immediately. I always loved sciences and was always interested in sciences and did well in them, and I loved my contact with people. I loved the contact with my student fellows. We just had a wonderful time. I was just favorably impressed and wanted to do it. MF: That is good. Did you have some classes at Weber College that you had to take? RB: Yes. MF: And you had some at the hospital? RB: Yes. MF: You had to walk down there. We heard everybody had to walk down… 4 RB: Oh yes… MF: …and hustle back. RB: …we used to walk down there as fast as we could and back as fast as we could. MF: Everybody said you did not want to miss lunch. RB: Right. MF: Do you remember any of your instructors? RB: Yes I remember very well. We had a Mrs. Miner who was very excellent, very capable, a very good teacher. We had Ruth Morrison, she was very good also. They were both very exacting, competent people. We had Lucille Taylor. She was a local person who had gone through the nursing program. She was a neat gal. She was a very competent teacher. I remember all my teachers. MF: Do you remember your roommate? RB: Yes I shared it with a couple of girls. They were both good roommates. We got along really well, did not have any difficulty at all. MF: Tell us about a typical day when you started your shift work. What was your typical day like? RB: The way the hospital was then…at the old Dee Hospital they had these huge wards, sixty-two bed wards. They would not think of having that now in a hospital in this day and age. But they had sixty-two bed wards. The only really registered nurses they had were night supervisors or afternoon supervisors or the day head nurse and assistant head nurse. They did not have CT units or ICU units then. All of these patients were either on a medical or the surgical floor so that they had private duty nurses, if possible, that were registered nurses that 5 would take care of those people. But not everyone could afford that. So the nurses on duty did it. Except for those ones I have just mentioned, they were all student nurses, we did it. I was a charge nurse when I was in my second year and third year of nursing. I was always a leader in nursing. I always was in charge of a floor, in charge of something. We ran the hospital; the student nurses ran the hospital. Of course, the registered nurses oversaw us and saw that we were doing what we should be doing. We really ran the hospital and that is the way it was. MF: That is true. You were in during the war too. What was that like? RB: I graduated during the war. I had graduated during the war. The student nurse program where they gave grants, it was not available when I was in nurses training. That came along later. MF: Oh okay. RB: I am sure it was pretty much the same thing for many, many years the student nurses ran the hospitals. MF: With the shortage of doctors and nurses during the war that made a difference. RB: There still is a shortage. MF: What was something you and your friends would do if you had a night off? RB: We were so poor we did not do much of anything. Once in awhile we would go to a show or we would just enjoy each other, play cards or just goof around and talk and goof around in the nurse's residence. We did not really do a lot of things because we did not have the money to do it. MF: That is true. 6 RB: Sometimes I remember my roommate and I walked up Ogden canyon up to…what is that place at the front of the canyon? MF: Rainbow Gardens? RB: Yes, Rainbow Gardens. We would walk up there and walk back. Can you believe it? From the Dee School of Nursing. If we had a day off we might do that. That was recreation for us because we just did not have any money to do anything else. We had a good time. It was mainly the comradery we had between each other. MF: You had to rely on each other too… RB: Yes we did. MF: …as far as getting through school and making sure everybody was, you know… RB: Very much so. MF: Do you remember if there was there a curfew? RB: Definitely there was a curfew. We resented that curfew. That was one thing about nurses training that always irritated me. I was a leader kind of person and I objected to it and they knew it. MF: Yes. RB: It did not go very well with the people in charge. I could never understand why we could go on a floor and be a charge nurse for sixty-two patients and then we had to be in at ten o'clock at night. To me it was absolutely ridiculous, which it was. Finally they got rid of those silly things. And not being able to be married, I thought that was ridiculous. MF: Exactly. 7 RB: Yes, they finally got rid of those things, which was a good thing. MF: That is. It is not like they would not work as hard as you guys just because they were married. They would probably work twice as hard just because they knew they had to get through. RB: Yes it was…they had a few rules that were just absolutely ridiculous and some of us really objected to them strongly. They did not like it very well. MF: That is okay. You had to make your opinion known. At that time were you required to attend church? RB: It was an option. They did have services in the nurse's home. Generally we would go to them but many times we worked Sundays. MF: You were busy. RB: So we were not able to do it. If we could we would. MF: Did you work six days a week? RB: Yes we worked…I could not tell you the number of hours we worked. Between going to school and working I am sure we put in many, many, many hours. After I graduated we worked a forty-eight hour week for several years and then we finally got a forty-four hour week. And then eventually we got a forty hour week. MF: Many years of working. RB: Yes. After many years of working we finally got a forty hour week. MF: Do you remember about your capping ceremony? RB: Yes I do. MF: Will you tell us a little about that? 8 RB: We were really thrilled about when we get our first stripe. When we finish our first we would get our first stripe. The second year the second stripe and the third year we would get a stripe across the top. MF: Okay. RB: When you got your stripe they made it quite a big thing. They would usually have a program and then have some refreshments or something like that after. But we were really thrilled to get that because it felt like we had accomplished something. MF: Did this take place at the nurses home? RB: It always took place at the nurses home. It was always a nice thing. Of course, in those days and age…you have probably been told this…we had to wear white, starch stiff uniforms. We would not be seen without a cap. Nowadays they wear anything. MF: Yes they do. It is pretty much whatever you want. Whatever is in cute style. RB: People are a lot smarter than we were. MF: Do you remember where your graduation ceremony was held? RB: Our ceremony was held in the Dee School of Nursing. They had an auditorium that was a very good size. It was held there. MF: What did you do after you graduated? Did you continue with your nursing career? RB: After I graduated…before I graduated the hospital offered to send myself and my roommate back east. If we would become nurse anesthetists they would pay for our schooling and pay for everything, our room, board, everything. But we would 9 have to come back and work for them for two years. I was not interested in nursing anesthesia. I was a fool because I should have. They make so much more than nurses do. MF: They do make good money. RB: My daughter is a nurse anesthetist and she makes more than I ever made. I was very interested in furthering my education. I worked for three months for Doctor Wilson in his office. He knew it was a short period I would be there. Then I went to the University of Washington and took post graduate work in medical and surgical nursing. I completed a year and a half course up there. MF: Oh good. After that did you continue in nursing? What did you do? RB: Yes. I continued in nursing. MF: Yes. RB: The war was still going and I married my husband who was in the service. He was stationed in California. I went there and was a Director of Nurses at a hospital there. After I finished that I came back and worked some more in the hospital. Do you want to know about that? MF: Yes we do. Please tell us. RB: You want me to tell you about what I did in my career? MF: Yes please do. RB: Well when I came back from there…I worked in nursing, counting the years I got my education, I worked fifty-one years. So it is very difficult for me to remember everything I did. Let me kind of generally tell you some of this because I can not remember the dates exactly. 10 MF: That is fine. RB: I was a surgical supervisor, a medical supervisor, a house supervisor all at the Dee Hospital at different times. I was a head nurse on a medical floor and I was a head nurse on a surgical floor. I also worked in the emergency room. I also worked at the Logan L.D.S. Hospital for a couple of years while my husband went to school up there at Utah State. When I was up there I was a Director of Nurses at the hospital up there. I also was Clinical Director of Psychiatry. After I had done med/surge for twenty-seven years I went into psych. I was Clinical Director of Psychiatry at the McKay Hospital for eight years. After that I went to Weber State College and taught over there for thirteen years. And then I retired from there as a full professor. As far as my education is concerned, during all those years I did go back to the University of Utah and get my bachelors degree, I got my masters degree in psychiatric nursing, and then I went to BYU and got my EDD, my doctorate from BYU. So it was a pretty busy life. MF: How many kids do you have? RB: Five. MF: You did all that while you having five kids? Congratulations. RB: I had a husband that helped a lot. MF: That is amazing. RB: Had it not been for him I could not have done it all. MF: While you were in training…I forgot to ask this question…you mentioned you were paid five dollars a month and if you broke things they take it… 11 RB: Yes. I think the first two years we were paid five dollars. If we broke the glass thermometers, everything was glass then, we were responsible for the breakage. That is another thing that is interesting. Things were glass or they were rubber. They did not have plastic then. We would give IV's and we would have to wash tubing. We used catheters for catheterizations, we would have to wash them and sterilize them. They did not have anything plastic or anything like that. So that if we broke something like a thermometer they would take that out of that five dollars. MF: So if you were having a bad month you... RB: We were very careful not to break things. Then I think when we were seniors we got $7.50 when we were a senior. That doesn't sound like much but… MF: Back then… RB: …you could buy a loaf of bread for five cents then. It is quite a different story now. So it helped. MF: That is good. I forgot to ask you about that. You had to make sure you sterilized and reused everything. RB: Oh yes. We sterilized everything. We spent hours, you know, washing the IV tubing. They did not have plastic bags for the solution, they used glass liters of fluid. You had to use everything you could over again. MF: I remember when I was in the hospital, it was 1979, but they still had the glass… RB: Yes. MF: …for the IV's. I remember that. RB: They did not have all the monitors and… 12 MF: That is true. RB: …all the equipment that they have now. They are so wonderful now. MF: They are. RB: They did not begin to have what… MF: They did not. RB: …then what they have now. MF: Yes. RB: Nursing has become much more skilled and much more complex and… MF: It has. RB: …better than it used to be. MF: But you were trained to take care of the patients every single need though. As far as… RB: Absolutely. We did everything. MF: You did. RB: We were the nurses. We were the respiratory therapists. We were the physical therapist. We were the medication nurses. We did everything. They did not have all these other people. MF: That is true. RB: But nurses did everything in those days. MF: They did everything. You were housekeepers too because you had to clean… RB: That is right. We were housekeepers, absolutely. MF: Take care of everything, wash the bed down, wash the whole room, everything. RB: You did, absolutely. 13 MF: Yes, so you did pretty much everything. I think nowadays the nurses are educated but I think you were trained in every single aspect of… RB: We were. MF: …I mean every floor and not a specialty. You did everything, on every floor. RB: That is right. You got it right. MF: I am thinking this is totally different but I think that, you know, you were trained and now nurses are educated to learn the computer aspect so they tend the computers and sometimes more than they do the patient? RB: There is a lot of truth to that. Unless you are on…if you work on an ICU unit or the CCU unit… MF: Where it is a specialist… RB: …you have a lot of patient contact care. Of course, in psychiatry, you are working with patients all the time. When I was Clinical Director of Psych. I did a lot of counseling. When I was teaching at Weber State I did a lot of counseling of students… MF: That is true. And that is probably good. RB: …as well as teaching. MF: I have talked to a few nurses that said if you were on a floor and you had a nurse that had graduated and they would watch over the little student nurses just to make sure. RB: True. MF: …because they have been there, they know what they've been through, kind of guide them along. 14 RB: That is true. MF: A lot of them had said that to me, that that was the nicest thing, that they had nurses that they knew that would know that they would take care of them. RB: That is really true. Oh there is one more thing I should mention that I did. I hope you do not feel I am bragging but… MF: Oh no. RB: …at one time, nurses could not be, what they called, designated examiners. Designated examiners are what you would call expert witnesses. MF: Oh. RB: In the state of Utah, there was a law that only doctors and psychiatrists could do examinations on psychiatric patients or patients who were put in a hospital against their will… MF: Yes. RB: …who were supposedly had psychiatric illnesses. So they finally passed a law that if you were a registered nurse and you had five years experience, and you were considered an expert in your field, you could be designated an expert as a designated examiner. MF: That is good. RB: And I was one of two nurses in the state of Utah that were first appointed as designated examiners. So that capacity I saw hundreds of patients and did psychological evaluations on them and had to report to the courts about their emotional status. 15 MF: Yes, because if you worked with them you would know what the signs are, what to look for, and why not. RB: Yes. It was interesting work. MF: That is great. Did you know any members of the Dee family? RB: I knew who they were but I was not personally acquainted with them. I just knew who they were. MF: You retired from Weber State that is where you finally ended… RB: Yes. MF: …your nursing career. Okay, just wanted to make sure we had all that. Jess did you have anything you want to ask her? JJ: Do you have any specific memories with patients at all? RB: I have a lot of memories of patients. I will tell you one that I remember. When I was a medical head nurse we had a patient in our ward who…I was a young nurse then…and she had lupus. In those days they did not have cortisone. They did not realize how valuable cortisone was and how valuable it was particularly in the treatment of lupus. So this woman came in and she was very ill and having blood transfusions. When I made rounds this one morning…I would go see my patients every day first thing in the morning…she told me she had had a terrible nightmare the night before that she was in the hospital as a patient and she was all tied down with IV's, blood and IV's running. Her arms were all tied down and this black dog was up trying to get her and grab her and get her and, you know, try to kill her. MF: Yes. 16 RB: I still remember her because, in a way, that stimulated me to go into psych. Because I did not fully understand what it was all about but I realized after I got some psych training it was death. She was dying. And she knew it and she did die. So I remember her. I remember a lot of them. I could tell you so many stories in psych about people that…I could go on for hours telling you about the patients I have evaluated and some of those and some of the young people I have worked with that would have suicided had they not gotten treatment. And so I could tell you a lot about that, about electric shock therapy… MF: Yes. RB: Oh and that is another thing. When we were young nurses, when I was a young head nurse… MF: Yes. RB: …I was Clinical Director of…oh I also taught in the Dee School of Nursing, I forgot to tell you that. MF: Oh okay, good. RB: I taught at the U too, at the University of Utah. But when I taught in the Dee School of Nursing, I taught the last five classes that graduated… MF: Oh good. RB: …of the Dee School of Nursing program. We had patients that had in some shock therapy. It was before they did electric shock therapy. They were just mixed in; there was no psych ward at the Dee then. MF: Yes. 17 RB: They had one later but they did not have one then. We had all these psych patients we did insulin shock therapy on. I would have my students always take them because they could learn a lot, you know? I would just be running from one end of that place to the other to be sure they were not going in to irreversible coma and die. We never did lose a patient which I was really thrilled about but anyway it was interesting to see how that worked. Then, after that, then they started doing electric shock therapy. It was much safer. Another thing, too, when I first was head nurse on that medical floor they did lobotomies. And, you know, they are just really looked down upon. MF: Yes. RB: Now they just would not do those now. Fortunately they stopped that. MF: Yes. RB: Unless someone has a tumor or some medical, you know, organic problem there they would not do it, which is a good thing. MF: Did you notice when you were doing your psych care with lithium, is that what it is when they use for depression, did that come in while you were… RB: Yes. MF: …in medical? RB: They were using lithium when I started psych. They were using lithium and they use it in bipolar or in medic-depressives is the other name for it. MF: Yes. RB: They used lithium bipolar. It has worked very well with some patients. It really helps them. 18 MF: Because I know my husband said his neighbor, I mean she suffered for years, and they just could not figure out what was wrong. They finally got that and just made the world of difference. RB: Oh yes. Lithium is very specific for bipolar and it works very well with some people. MF: That is good. Because I wonder…it has come a long ways though as far as medicine… RB: It has. MF: …treatments and stuff. RB: They have even improved forms of lithium now they are using. It is very good. MF: That is good because people need that. It is nice that they can… RB: Less side effects. MF: That is true. That is probably the other thing with the insulin, you know, with the shock therapy, how that side effect would be, you know, if you could not get it back or you know… RB: Well if they went in to irreversible coma, boy, you were really in a bad way. Fortunately we never had a patient that did it but…you know, when I think about it now I think gee how did…it is kind of scary to think that we had those patients were given huge doses of insulin and they would get almost ready to go comatose and then we would give them some IV to bring them out of it. It is kind of scary to think… MF: It is a scary thing. 19 RB: …I look back on it and I think we knew it was dangerous but we did not realize how bad it was. MF: While you were teaching at Weber State did you teach with Helen Farr? Was she… RB: Oh yes. We are colleagues. MF: Oh good so you taught at the same time. RB: Yes she and I…I think she was in the class behind me. She was one or two classes later than I am but she and I are friends. MF: That is good. RB: We did that, we have known each other for many years. MF: Oh good because she had said that and I did not know. It is nice when we come meet you and find out you have taught at Weber State or what your career has been. It is nice to get that little connection with Weber State. RB: In fact, Helen and I went to the BYU and got our doctorates together. MF: Oh good. RB: We were roommates. We had to go each summer full-time. MF: Yes.

Kids' Clothes: Under-the-Radar Stores
Don't tell anyone around here, but sometimes I get tired of shopping for myself. The endless trying-on and never really knowing if what looks good on the rack will look good on my body is exhausting. In the right mood, I admit, there's no greater rush, but when you're not feeling it? Well, drag.
Luckily, I am never NOT in the mood to shop for my kids. Everything looks good on them as long as it fits. At ages almost 3 and 4, I never have to send them into the dressing room, and I can pretty much buy with abandon anything that strikes my fancy (which means I've pretty much bought half of the clothing at Crew Cuts). But sometimes you need to break out of your comfort zone. And to that end, I've found Le Petite Peach, a blog from kid/mom guru Desiree Spinner, to be just what I need. Instead of making my usual rounds (the aforementioned Crew Cuts, Mini Boden, Gap Kids, etc.) I can always count on Le Petite Peach, which provides "inspiration for selective moms," to point me to some unexpected and totally awesome kids' clothing sources. Plus, it doesn't hurt that there's plenty of other awesome stuff on the recently-relaunched site too—including fashion ideas for us moms, family travel recommendations, and a ton of adorable product picks ranging from backpacks to lunch boxes. Really, it's downright Goop-y in its lifestyle reach.
But, back to what's really important: children's clothes! Read on below to hear from the Spinner, Le Petite Peach's editor and founder, on all things kids' fashion. From little Lanvin to some quaint French labels, she knows all.

May 26, 02013
If the Dolphins are as aggressive in the fall as they have been in the spring, look for a lot of deep balls and zero blitzes.
General manager Jeff Ireland has gone big in his free agency and draft moves, winning the offseason, as they say. In a conversation with Ireland, he acknowledged he never has been around a team that has added more talent in an offseason.
His acquisitions include eight or nine new projected starters in right tackle Tyson Clabo, middle linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, cornerback Brent Grimes, defensive end Dion Jordan, tight end Dustin Keller, guard Lance Louis, cornerback Jamar Taylor, wide receiver Mike Wallace and outside linebacker Phillip Wheeler.
Of course, there were some player losses too. Gone are running back Reggie Bush, left tackle Jake Long, linebackers Karlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett and cornerback Sean Smith. But the bottom line on the Dolphins' roster is pretty impressive.
"I think we should be a much better team," Ireland said. "We added experience to an inexperienced position at receiver. The quarterback will be more experienced. We've added some speed and explosiveness and physicality on defense. We added an exceptional corner in Brent Grimes, a very experienced pass catching tight end, a right tackle who has been to the Pro Bowl and is very experienced. I like the team. I like it very much. I like it a lot. It just has to gel as a group. The chemistry has to grow."
The Dolphins' offseason splurge was not just a reaction to pressure after four straight losing seasons. It was well thought out, and the planning began early in the 2012 offseason.
Jeff Ireland and Joe Philbin like what they see in Miami.
"It was a plan we put in place last year," Ireland explained. "Last year we did some one-year deals that would clear up. We knew we had some significant guys whose deals would come up. We would have some cap space. Then we traded Brandon Marshall and Vontae Davis, so we had some ammunition with draft picks to continue down an aggressive path."
The timing also was right because 2013 will be the second year of Joe Philbin's regime. It took him some time to know the roster, and it took Ireland some time to know exactly what Philbin and his staff were looking for.
"To change too much in a head coach's first year when he doesn't really know the players isn't advantageous," Ireland said. "I didn't know Joe. We got married before we dated. When we got married, we had to learn what his hot buttons were, he had to learn what my hot buttons were. I had to find out what they were looking for, the kind of person they wanted in the locker room, the kind of schemes they wanted to run. It didn't make sense to make wholesale changes in year one."
The other issue is this was a good time to build around second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill, a good time to get him a speed receiver in Wallace, a reliable middle of the field target in Keller and some blocking reinforcements.
"We knew we needed to be aggressive to continue building around the quarterback," Ireland said. "I don't think we ever used the word aggressive, we just knew we had resources to feel good about."
Wallace can make Tannehill a better player. "I love Mike Wallace's explosiveness, I love his speed," Ireland said. "He is one of those guys who can turn something small into something big."
Instead of staying put and drafting 12th in the first round, Ireland continued the aggressive mentality by giving up the 12th and 42nd picks to move up to the third spot of the draft to take Jordan, the first defensive player chosen.
"We were sitting in a position where we would have had a good player if we sat there, but I felt Dion has a chance to be an impact player, he can be a matchup player," Ireland said. "Cameron Wake is as good a pass rusher as there is in the game. But I think some of the teams I've seen be very good have pressure players on both sides. We needed to add some more explosive pass rushing ability to disrupt the quarterback's timing. Dion Jordan has a special skill set."
The 2013 season has been frequently described as "do or die" or "make or break" for Ireland, who is in the final year of his contract. But Ireland doesn't see it that way, and he does not connect his offseason aggression with his personal situation.
"I don't feel more urgency than in the past. That's been written a lot. You're in a do or die situation. I don't feel that at all. I'm very secure in what we're trying to accomplish. The goal is to win the division first, same as since I've been here. Get in the tournament, as (Bill) Parcells would say, and maybe things can happen. We felt we needed to make some moves to close the gap between us and the team that has won the division for a long, long time, the Patriots. We felt we needed to add some pieces."
The Dolphins added some pieces alright. A lot of them. And on paper at least, there is little doubt they have closed a gap.
My Sunday Best: All-Time Middle Linebackers
The recent retirements of Brian Urlacher and Ray Lewis have people talking about the greatest middle linebackers of all-time. Here are my Sunday Best middle linebackers:
Anyone who said they enjoyed lining up against Dick Butkus is either untruthful or crazy.
1. Dick Butkus. No defensive player ever changed games more than Butkus. No defensive player ever intimidated more than Butkus. No defensive player ever hit harder than Butkus. And no defensive player ever had better instincts than Butkus.
2. Ray Lewis. His blend of speed, leadership, longevity and consistency was incredible. The NFL had not seen a player quite like him when he came along in 1996. No other middle linebacker may ever make it to 13 Pro Bowls, as Lewis did.
3. Bill George. He started out as a defensive tackle, and was moved to a new position two years into his career. He became the forefather of middle linebackers, and some will tell you he was the best. The Bears great was known for his ability to lead and diagnose plays. In an era with some great middle linebackers, George took a back seat to no one.
4. Jack Lambert. He succeeded wildly every way a linebacker can succeed. Defensive rookie of the year. Nine-time Pro Bowler. Two0time NFL defensive player of the year. Four-time Super Bowl captain. Eight-time captain for the Steel Curtain.
5. Joe Schmidt. When a reporter asked Bill George what he thought about a documentary being done called The Violent World of Sam Huff, his response was, "If they are going to do a documentary on that, they had better get Joe Schmidt to play the part." The Lions great was highly respected by opponents and teammates alike.
6. Brian Urlacher. The former safety's combination of size (6-4, 258) and speed (4.57 40 yard dash) is unheard of. He finished with 41 ½ sacks and 22 interceptions. Only one other middle linebacker in history, Lewis, has as many of each. He won defensive rookie of the year and defensive player of the year awards and made it to eight Pro Bowls. The only other players to do the same are Lambert, Mean Joe Greene, Lawrence Taylor and Charles Woodson.
7. Mike Singletary. Leaders do not come any finer than Mike Singletary, the man in the middle for one of the greatest defenses in NFL history. Rejected by many as too small and too slow, all he did was get selected to 10 Pro Bowls, win two defensive player of the year awards and crack a bunch of helmets.
8. Ray Nitschke. Known for leadership, toughness and athleticism, he was a key to the great Packers dynasty. The MVP of the 1962 championship game, Nitschke looked the part and played the part well.
9. Willie Lanier. He was the first African-American star middle linebacker, and he was a force against the run and pass for the Chiefs. Lanier was named all-AFL eight times.
10. Sam Huff. He was resented because he was a media darling, but Huff still was a great player. He played in six NFL title games and had 30 career interceptions.
Things I Didn't Used To Know
De'Andre Hopkins could be making big plays for the Texans this year.
*The Texans are likely to get a contribution from a young receiver, even if it isn't first-round pick De'Andre Hopkins. The rookie impressed his coaches by making one spectacular play each day of rookie camp. But they are realistic about the complexity of their offense and the learning curve Hopkins will endure. So if it isn't Hopkins that steps up, it could be second-year man Keshawn Martin. He had a few moments last season before tailing off late and the Texans believe he could step up. Another second-year receiver, DeVier Posey, will be making a comeback from an Achilles injury and is likely to start the season on the physically unable to perform list. His development as a receiver had impressed the team prior to his injury, so he still could factor in. And another rookie also caught the eye of team management in rookie camp, as sixth-round pick Alan Bonner flashed. The point is, everything shouldn't just be on Hopkins' shoulders.
*Part of the reason the Jaguars are moving Tyson Alualu from defensive tackle to defensive end is he fits the end position in Gus Bradley's new scheme, but there is more to it than that. Alualu has knee problems that have taken away some of his short area quickness. His knee should be less vulnerable playing outside. Since the Jaguars chose Alualu with the 10th pick of the 2010 draft, he never has shown the explosiveness he had at Cal. So he likely won't be a big sack guy at end, but he should hold the point well and play solid run defense.
Hot Reads
*If Reggie Bush had said he came to Detroit to listen to good old music, or to learn about cars, that would have made more sense than this.
*Robert Griffin III takes what he wants from NFL defenses. And he apparently does the same with his fans.
*I don't care how many OTA interceptions Mark Sanchez throws. The only way I could see the Jets having a starting quarterback before camp starts is if Geno Smith proves without a doubt that he is nowhere near ready to run an NFL offense.
*After setting the pace in the NFC race, setting the pace in this race shouldn't be a problem for Jim Harbaugh.
*All along, I thought rabbits were only destructive to vegetable gardens. Turns out they also can screw up the NFL draft.

Shoulder Replacement
(Replacement, Total Shoulder; Shoulder Joint Replacement; Replacement, Shoulder Joint; Total Shoulder Joint Replacement; Replacement, Total Shoulder Joint)
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Shoulder replacement surgery replaces a worn, painful shoulder joint with a new, functional joint made from metal and plastic.
Reasons for Procedure
The surgery relieves debilitating shoulder joint pain caused by a shoulder condition or injury that interferes with daily life.
Total shoulder replacement is a surgery done to treat different shoulder conditions and injuries, such as:
- Severe shoulder fractures or other serious shoulder injuries
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Avascular necrosis
- Rotator cuff injury resulting in joint arthritis
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Chronic shoulder pain and stiffness
- Shoulder instability
- Infection
- Nerve damage
- Loose shoulder joint
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Before surgery, you may meet with your doctor for a physical exam, medical history, and tests. You may have blood tests.
Imaging studies that help evaluate the shoulder joint and surrounding structures include:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 2 weeks before the procedure.
You may be given either:
- General anesthesia —you will be asleep through the surgery
- Regional anesthesia—used to block pain in the upper body, but you will not be asleep
Description of the Procedure
The doctor will make a cut through your skin near your shoulder. The large muscles around the shoulder will be pulled back. Another incision will be made in the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is made up of tendons that cover and support the shoulder joint. Pulling back the muscles and tendons will allow the doctor to have a clear view of the shoulder joint.
The doctor will then remove the shoulder joint and replace it with an implant that looks very similar. It includes a ball, socket, and stem parts.
After inserting the implant, the doctor will close the rotator cuff, muscles, and skin with stitches. A drain may also be inserted to remove fluids that may build up in the shoulder after surgery.
How Long Will It Take?
A few hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
This surgery is done in a hospital. The usual length of stay is 2-3 days. If you have any problems, you may need to stay longer.
Post-procedure Care
At the Hospital
Right after the procedure, you will be in a recovery room where your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing will be monitored. Recovery may also include:
- Pain medications
- Antibiotics to prevent infection
- Medication to prevent blood clots
- X-rays to evaluate the new shoulder joint
You may start physical therapy as early as the day after your surgery. A physical therapist will work with you to help you regain your range of motion and strength in your shoulder. You will also continue physical therapy after you leave the hospital.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
At Home
You will wear an arm sling for the first several weeks after surgery. The sling will help support your shoulder as it heals. You should be able to do simple tasks, like feeding yourself and dressing, within 2 weeks after surgery. In the meantime, family members or friends may help you with daily activities.
The staff will teach you how to care for any dressings or bandages. This will help prevent wound infection.
Antibiotics may be needed before certain dental procedures or surgeries now that you have an artificial joint. This will prevent possible infections from entering the bloodstream. Make sure to let the dentist or doctor know that you have an artificial joint.

As those of you who tolerate—I mean, follow- me on Twitter know, today is my birthday. I ate a red velvet cupcake (luckily the cupcake shop is open on Easter or there would have been hell to pay, people) and watched Mirror Mirror only for Sean Bean's cameo at the end but ended up enjoying the rest of it equally. I also walked on the beach and intermittently, nervously listened to my radio. Even Jon Miller's even-soothing voice did not disguise the disaster that has been the first three days of the 2012 season for the Giants. And even my Winnie the Pooh balloons could not soothe me. The beginning of the season is supposed to be all optimism and that's a wee bit hard right now for a few teams. Allow me to illustrate:
See, Giants fans? We are not the only ones who have yet to pick up a win. The method in which we have gone about not picking up a win seems particularly gruesome, but it does not (necessarily) imply any deep, horrible truths about the team. I am quite the pep-talk lady today, because I don't think some early season nastiness should interfere with my red velvet birthday. Or your non-red-velvet Sunday, for that matter. Optimism still lives. The Giants are a little (a little?) off at the moment, that's clear, but not much else is. We will have to wait and see. Who knows, this might be a bad year vs. Arizona but 2010 was a bad year vs. San Diego and that didn't turn out so badly. Everyone has their Achilles Heel/Kryptonite and minus the humidor (and, yeah, the errors and the starting pitching and all that jazz), I am quite confident in the Giants against the Rockies.
And you are too now, right? I mean, how could you not be when there are Tigger balloons in the vicinity of your cyerspace?

"Washi" is the Japanese name for "rice paper" (so called in the West, but not made of rice, actually), used in lots of traditional arts and crafts (ShoDo, Sumi-E, Origami). I practice ShoDo so I often look online for places to get different kinds of papers. Recently I have seen products named "Washi Paper masking tape" and I wonder what exactly it is, and what it can be used for. Anyone has tried it and can tell me more about characteristics and intended usage? Thanks. asked Jun 05 '11 at 02:47 Pamar |
It looks like it is used to decorate existing paper products. I have a friend in Japan who when I asked said he thought people used it to wrap presents. It's function appears to be primarily aesthetic. linkanswered Jun 06 '11 at 10:29 oliver Thanks. Can you ask him/her if these are made of actual washi? Or they are just normal plastic tape with traditional patterns?
3 years, 7 months ago
Ok, I have checked out a bit more and found a nice site for washi tape. I am posting the Url here so that anyone interested can find it, too. linkanswered Jun 09 '11 at 01:47 Pamar |

Request A Bad Boy Mowers Brochure
We owned other zero-turn mowers before we set out to own the zero-turn market.
Frustrated with the fragility and performance of different zero-turn mowers we set out to make a no-nonsense, better mower at a better price. When an associate stepped off the first mower out of the garage he declared, "That's a Bad Boy."
The business was born and the name stuck. Bad Boy Mowers has since established a reputation for reliability and durability. Our low center of gravity, precise weight distribution and attention to operator comfort make them the easiest to ride on any terrain. Along the way, we've built what is arguably the most sophisticated 850,000+ sq. ft. manufacturing facility of it's kind in the industry — and that strength shows up in the strength of every Bad Boy mower.
