One of Jan Berk's favorite professional experiences was working with the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee for the rowing and canoeing events at the 1984 Summer Olympics.
Berk |
"It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience," said Berk, vice president and partner in San Miguel Produce, Oxnard, Calif. "There's an energy that's unique for the Olympics … a selfless sort of work."
Even now, she talks passionately about it being a positive and upbeat experience. Berk herself probably had a lot to do with it being so great, according to Marshall Sherman's description of her.
"She's outgoing, open and positive," said Sherman, general manager since April 2009 for San Miguel.
"She involves people in decision making and manages through teambuilding and by considering everyone's ideas."
Before joining San Miguel, Sherman was general manager for "friendly competitor" Walter P. Rawl & Sons Inc., Pelion, S.C., and often saw Berk at trade shows and other events.
"She's all about doing what's best for the customer," he said. "Sometimes we referred customers to them and sometimes they referred customers to us."
Cooperation clearly is important to Berk, 53. She wants employees to work together to grow professionally and contribute positively. She encourages them to develop broad perspectives by learning about different departments at San Miguel.
The people are what she loves most about the produce industry as a whole.
"They are down to earth, a wonderful group from all walks of life … with a great understanding of what it takes to get food on the table every day and the extreme challenges involved," Berk said.
"We all pull together to try to make it work and get through the challenges."
Berk joined San Miguel full time in 2001 to work on rebranding, selling and marketing its ready-to-cook Cut 'n Clean Greens. In late 2008, the company launched another value-added line, Jade Asian Greens. Her favorite of the eight Asian varieties is Dau Miu or Snow Pea Shoots.
Earlier in her career, Berk worked in direct marketing and the newspaper business, including serving as the Los Angeles Times' director of communications and public affairs. She also helped promote the Oxnard Strawberry Festival in its early years.
Berk's contributions to the produce industry extend beyond her company to her work on United Fresh Produce Association's board and as vice chairman for its Fresh-Cut Processor Board. She also is a member of the advisory board for the California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement.
When asked for advice to women who are new to the industry, she said patience, tenacity and hard work are key.
"In any industry that has typically been male-dominated, you have to work a little harder," she said. "Don't give up. Work smarter and harder and the opportunities will present themselves."

If English is not your first language you will also need to satisfy UCL's English Language Requirements. A variety of English language programmes are offered at the UCL Centre for Languages & International Education.
Degree benefits
- A feature of the History, Politics and Economics (HPE) degree is that you will not just study the three disciplines independently, but are given the opportunity to combine insights from different subjects.
- The HPE programme provides a rigorous introduction to all three subjects in the first year, after which you choose to specialise in two subjects.
- SSEES is the largest national centre in the UK for the study of Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and the post-Soviet countries. The SSEES library contains over 400,000 books, journals and film resources.
- Since our staff are active in research and consultancy at the frontiers of their subject, your teaching will draw on state-of-the-art knowledge.
The History Politics and Economics (HPE) degree is carefully structured to give all students a solid foundation in each of the three subject pathways, while promoting increasing specialisation as the degree progresses.
Students choose two specialist disciplines in year two and one specialist discipline in the final year, which includes a research dissertation. This programme structure enables students to tailor their studies to their evolving interests, while also encouraging them to explore the interface between history, economics and politics in years two and three.
Throughout the programme students will learn about the histories, economies and societies of the wider European region, with a particular reference to Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and the post-Soviet world.
By seeking to understand this diverse and distinctive area from the vantage point of its global interconnectedness and significance, this programme will thereby foster innovative perspectives that will be global in their reach.
Your learning
You will be taught by a combination of interactive lectures and small-group tutorials. Tutorials will involve discussion, exercises, presentations and experiments. You will be set regular written work, including essays, policy analysis, exercises, online activities and posters.
Your assessment will be based on various types of written coursework, presentations, some unseen written examinations, and a final-year 10,000-word dissertation. Throughout the programme you will receive detailed feedback to help develop your skills and for the dissertation you will have a supervisor to provide support and advice.
Degree structure
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual courses, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Courses are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional courses varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
Year One
Year Two
Final Year
After graduating from this programme you will have expert knowledge relating to a region where complex issues of political change, economic development and international relations are reshaping national and social expectations.
The first cohort of students on this programme will not graduate until 2018. Therefore career destination information is not yet available.

Baseball: Ozney Guillen hoping to land spot with Normal CornBelters
By Tim Tierney For Sun-Times Media May 7, 2014 9:08PM
Updated: May 7, 2014 10:54PM
While his father, former White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, watched from a front-row seat near the on-deck circle, Ozney Guillen was at third base Wednesday for the Normal CornBelters.
Even with a 9-4 loss to the Joliet Slammers in the Frontier League exhibition game, it was a special day for Ozney.
"This is the first time he's seen me with a professional uniform,'' the 22-year-old rookie said. "He was really excited to get the chance to see me play. When I was in college, he didn't get to see me play because he was still working.
"Him and my mom are going to be driving a lot this year. If I make the team here, they'll be following me around. It's fun to see him in the crowd. It's nice.''
After autograph-seekers spotted the elder Guillen in his seat at Silver Cross Field, Slammers staff had to limit the fans' requests to between innings.
Ozney said his dad lives in Chicago, making it a short trip for Wednesday's game.
"It was perfect for him to come to Joliet,'' Ozney Guillen said. "Schaumburg is really close, and I know Windy City is also very close. Normal is only two hours away, so he's around.''
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound corner infielder was 0-for-3 with a walk against the Slammers.
Ozney attended Miami-Dade Junior College and played one season at St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens, Fla., where he hit a team-best .415 in 2013.
"My dad has taught me a lot,'' he said. "I've been around the game a lot. Pro ball for me is a better fit. The college game for me was a little too much rah-rah.''
Ozney was drafted four years ago by the Sox in the 22nd round, but didn't sign with the team. He signed with the CornBelters in March.
"They gave me an opportunity to make the team, so that's what I'm doing,'' he said.
Sandburg graduate Troy Josza is doing the same with the Slammers.
Josza helped his chances with two perfect relief innings, including Guillen's groundout to end the seventh.
"It's good getting out there, getting those innings in, still working on getting stronger,'' Josza said. "I haven't had a lot of time to throw bullpen, but I was fortunate to find the zone and throw strikes.
"That's the most important thing. You've got to throw strikes. Now you've got an opportunity to get outs.''
"We've got tough decisions to make, and the way he's throwing is making things even tougher,'' Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. "He commanded his fastball, got ahead in counts.''
Starter Kody McFarland, Travis Reboulet, Sam Moore, Josza and Ryan Connolly pitched for the Slammers.
Grant DeBruin had an RBI double and Jose Garcia had two RBI singles.

This thick cream concealer feels waxy, and for good reason: Its formula contains mostly heavy waxes and emollients, which work with the concentrated pigments to provide opaque coverage. This has a surprising amount of slip, so blending is relatively easy, but be aware that this kind of concealer can look heavy and has a tendency to crease into lines around the eyes.
This is a potentially good option if applied in thin layers with a concealer brush. The coverage it provides easily hides dark circles, redness, and brown spots. However, its camouflage comes with the tradeoff of looking like makeup. On the upside, the range of shades is beautifully neutral and there are options for fair to dark skin tones (and the darker shades are not copper or ash). We don't recommend Illamasqua's Concealer for use on breakouts or over breakout-prone areas because some of the occlusive ingredients it contains can lead to further clogs and breakouts.
Illamasqua is a London-based makeup line created by makeup artists whose stated mission is to get women and men to "express themselves through makeup and to discover their bolder, sexier side." This urbane sentiment is similar to other edgy color brands like Urban Decay, Too Faced, and Make Up For Ever, so we wondered if Illamasqua would bring something new and exciting to the table for those looking to enhance their makeup wardrobe. After a thorough look at this brand at our local Sephora store (where it is retailed in the U.S.), we must state that, unfortunately, it is an unimpressive "been there, done that" group of products with relatively high price tags.
Rather than bringing innovative, exciting products to those seeking to get experimental with unusual makeup colors and textures, Illamasqua's products tend to be hit or miss. And there are enough misses to make this brand one you can safely pass up in favor of color collections whose palettes are more approachable, user-friendly, and just overall better in quality. If you're still curious about Illamasqua, there are some outlier products to seek out, including their Bronzing Duo, jet-black Masquara, the Lipstick, and, if you need full coverage and have the time to blend it well, the company's Concealer is definitely worth checking out. Beyond these there lies disappointment after disappointment—and even the average products prove to be a letdown due to their high prices, plus the fact that competing lines at Sephora offer better versions of most Illamasqua products.

"Full of animated, charged poems, Alice Fulton's latest collection sizzles with logophilia and tropes, is blessed with the kind of direct wiring between sensation and language, feeling and form, that strikes first with physical and then with intellectual and emotional wallop. Hers is a poetic sensibility at once remarkably comprehensive and remarkably precise, and felt; her best book so far is possessed of great velocity, great staying-power."

"Alice Fulton has already been recognized as one of America's best poets, whose work combines lyrical sensuality and subtle wordplay. She is also a gifted and original author of fiction; her first novel, The Nightingales of Troy, is both beautifully written and a moving portrait of personal and family history. "
Literature Award Committee
Review of Felt, January 2012
"Alice Fulton has for years been one of the nation's most eloquently cerebral poets, and in Felt she adds still another dimension to her enviably erudite poetics: a richness of sense and emotion that in 2001 heralded her strongest and most accessible single collection to date. Fulton's command of language, theory, rhetorical structure, and technique is so sure one little doubts one is in the presence of a Master. "
Seth Abramson

W.W. Norton, July 2008
"With The Nightingales of Troy: Stories of One Family's Century, her outstanding first fiction collection, poet Alice Fulton reveals herself to be triumphantly at home in the short story. Spanning the 20th century — from a farm birth in 1908 to an MRI in 1999 — Fulton's stories are sublime distillations, not only of the individual lives they so eloquently describe, but also of the eras throughout which the formidable Garrahan family endures."

Cascade Experiment: Selected Poems
W.W. Norton, 2004
"Alice Fulton is not a safe poet; she's a daring, ambitious, and risk-taking one, and, as the magnificent pieces gathered together in Cascade Experiment so eloquently and scintillatingly demonstrate, she has been so throughout her lengthy and deservedly successful career. Time and again Fulton has proven herself willing, unlike so many of her contemporaries, to take chances in her work. Poetry as a whole would be much enlivened if poets everywhere could take a cue from her and engage in experimentation of their own."

W.W. Norton, 2001
Awarded the 2002 Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry from the Library of Congress
"In Alice Fulton's poetry, those charged instances when the literal and the metaphysical (and the sensual and the philosophical) overlap are often mediated by wordplay — a pun, a double entendre, a witty turn of phrase. The title of her marvelous fifth collection, Felt, is meant to signify both an emotion once experienced [and] the fabric constructed by fibers that are forcibly pressed, rather than woven, together. In "Fair Use," these two meanings fuse, so that felt represents the joyous and maddening experience of human interconnectedness — 'a fabric of entanglement == / my consciousness felted with yours.' ... Throughout these kinetically textured lyric poems — they have varied indentations and line lengths, and are aurally rich with slant rhymes and musical rhythms — the meanings of words shift, contort and refract (one point of creating art, as Fulton puts it, is 'to / origami thought'). In the long poem 'About Music for Bone and Membrane Instrument,' written in a series of 13 sections, a Japanese fan metamorphoses into fan's other usage — a devotee or admirer — as the loss of self shared by both a star performer and a swooning audience member is revealed. In poems obsessed with identity, yearning and intimacy, the power of Fulton's verbal pyrotechnics is that they precisely animate these mutable, ever-changing states."
Megan Harlan
The New York Times Book Review
Feeling as a Foreign Language: The Good Strangeness of Poetry
Graywolf, 1999
"In this feisty and original collection of essays, the poet Alice Fulton leads us into new ways of thinking about the nature of postmodern poetry, suggesting innovations in its elastic content and form that draw on mathematical, scientific and philosophical theory. She also scrutinizes the rich legacy of such diverse female poets as Margaret Cavendish and Emily Dickinson.
Fulton's mood in these essays is consistently experimental and subversive.... Taking dead aim at some of mainstream literary America's complacent assumptions about the postmodern poem, she advises replacing its flat, transparent surface with a rough-edged, multi-textured work in which the surface of language does not remain static but continually shifts. Boldly imagined ... [this is] a call for nothing less than a revolution in the language of both free verse and free verse criticism.
The jewel in this collection is 'Her Moment of Brocade,' the finest essay I have read on Emily Dickinson since Adrienne Rich's 'Vesuvius at Home' ... Here, as elsewhere in the collection, Fulton brilliantly uses scientific and philosophic theory to interpret poetic phenomena.
Feeling as a Foreign Language is a book that satisfies as it provokes ... challenging complacency at every turn. It should attract not only readers of poetry but all readers who enjoy the vigor of bold, original thought."
Rita Signorelli-Pappas
Women's Review of Books
(read all reviews of Feeling as a Foreign Language)
W.W. Norton, 1996
"In Sensual Math, Fulton combines in deliberately unsettling — and often deliciously funny — ways a multiplicity of styles, tones, and registers linked to various genres and diverse cultural contexts, so that the reader is kept constantly aware of the play of lanugage and never allowed to rest in the fiction of unmediated personal expression. The breaks between Fulton's frequently enjambed lines generate puns or semantic ambiguities that further foreground the processes of language and interpretive choice....
Like the Language writers, Fulton approaches poetry as possessing larger intellectual powers and cultural responsibilites than personal expression, even though she remains comfortable, as they tend not to be, incorporating such expression into her writing....
Her inventive work, which stretches the linguistic, tonal, vocal, and emotional range of contemporary lyric, points ultimately to resources that lie between recognized categories, in liminal states, and at the cultural margins as offering hope for significant social and aesthetic change. Her double equal sign and other rejections of patriarchal binaries aim ... to counter the destructive othering that pervades all aspects of our lives...."

Sarabande Books reissue, 2001
David R. Godine, 1990
"She is an ambitious, powerful poet.... Her themes — like those of her great exemplar, Dickinson — are the sacred and the profane. But instead of seeking to define the profane by the sacred, as Dickinson often can, Fulton says ... how about using the profane to point toward the sacred? In the masterful title poem, 'Powers of Congress,' she invites us to this paradox, detailing experiences of stress and force in the ironies of daily life.... There is a range of perspectives in her work and she deploys them well.... She is a thematic gambler of the best sort. Her poems are daring and broad."

"Fulton revels in her findings, in the artisan's sense of the the term, and the poems in Palladium are prepossessing and formidable ... her work is remarkable for its flamboyant diction, the wide range and acute particularity and vibrant color of it.... Because of Fulton's energy and passion for specificity, there is hardly a dead line. What most of these poems testify to so energetically is the power of 'expansion' — the movement from some kind of constriction to some kind of freedom.... In addition to meditations and the dramatic monologues and portraits, there are compressed lyrics ... all among the best things in this very impressive volume. Fulton's second book augurs the arrival of an exceptional poet."

"We are back in the real world, foolish, extraordinary, desirable; and articulated with poise, humour and adventure. Physical sensations are balanced against events, metaphor against recital, in a most effective way. All in all, I would situate Alice Fulton as a close verse equivalent to the new tough-and-tender realism in American fiction, many of its practitioners women, and many of them poets as well: Jayne Anne Phillips, Elizabeth Tallent, Raymond Carver, Denis Johnson. She has their loners, their freaks, their cruelty, their orientation towards low-life, and their unconventional elegance and articulateness."

Hundreds of people from throughout South Queens, and beyond, endured the hot and sunny weather on Monday to pay their respects to the military men and women who have given their lives for their country, as well as those who are still serving, at the annual Memorial Day parade in Howard Beach.
Like many of those at the event, Sara Diaz, of Ozone Park, has been attending the Howard Beach Memorial Day parade since she was a little girl. She now brings her 9-year-old son and her daughters who are 6 and 8. Her husband has served five tours of duty, two in Iraq and three in Afghanistan.
"I'm very honored to have him as my husband," Diaz said.
The marchers started at the Korean, Vietnam and World War II memorial at Coleman Square. The square is named after Howard Beach resident and World War I sailor Bernard Coleman, who was killed in service.
Walking through the residential streets, the marchers, composed of families, boy scouts, cub scouts, and elected officials — including state Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach), Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park), Community Board 10 Chairwoman Betty Braton and Congressman Bob Turner (R-Queens, Brooklyn) — first stopped briefly at the Walter Wetzel Triangle, located at 159th Avenue and Cohancy Street in Howard Beach. The triangle is named in honor of a Howard Beach resident killed in action in Pleiku, Vietnam on May 29, 1966, when he was a 21-year-old serving in the U.S. Army.
Participants then proceeded to Assembly of God Church, where Patrick Connolly Sr., a member of the U.S. Air Force who flew 33 missions over Germany in World War II, read the names of area servicemen who have been killed in action or listed as missing in action.
He paid tribute to a friend, Jack Fitzgibbons, who was killed in combat in Manila while fighting Japanese forces.
"Jack always treated me like his younger brother," he said.
The marchers continued to St. Barnabas Church, where the pastor, Rev. William Baum, pointed out how the number of people who come out increases every year.
"The parade is growing bigger and bigger each year, and that is what I'm most proud of," he said. "Every year more and more people come to this event, so it's a great tribute to the folks who organize it. I'm grateful for all of their good work."
When the parade goers returned to Coleman Square, residents placed poppies on the monument in honor of their family, and fellow Americans, who died in the line of duty.
This year's grand marshal, Patrick Connolly Jr., who served in the Marine Corps from 1969 to 1971, said he was "honored" and "privileged" to be picked as this year's parade leader for the first time.
"You know you're being honored when members of your community and your post selected me among all the deserving people," he said.
He addressed the crowd in a tearful speech.
"Today we have paid tribute to these 41 young men from this small community, who gave up all their tomorrows so we could have today," Connolly Jr. said "These people are more than names etched on a wall."

Many of the East Valley's most dedicated political activists have never cast a ballot or signed a petition because they are too young.
But they still plan to leave their stamp on the November elections.
"I'm not old enough to vote, but that doesn't mean I can't make a difference," said Steffanie Wynn, 17, who will be a senior at Scottsdale's Saguaro High School.
Wynn was named the outstanding Teenage Republican in the nation last summer during an annual convention in Washington, D.C., and her Saguaro club was voted the outstanding Teenage Republican unit in the nation for the sixth time since 1981.
Saguaro history teacher Marianne McKay-Cox, who has sponsored the club for about seven years and was the nation's outstanding adviser in 2001, said her Teenage Republicans march in the Parada del Sol and other parades, hold voter registration drives on campus for students turning 18, write letters to soldiers overseas, conduct fund-raisers, participate in mock legislative sessions at the state Capitol, engage campus Democrats in annual debates, clean litter from an adopted stretch of road, work the phones at various campaign headquarters and host Republican speakers on campus such as Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.
"They need to form their opinions early so they vote," McKay-Cox said.
Ruben Alonzo, 22, a Young Democrat majoring in political science and anthropology at Arizona State University, said he has seen political activity among young people soar in recent years.
"Young people are more interested in human rights and global politics than people give them credit for," Alonzo said. "It's really a direct result of Sept. 11."
Teenage Republican Dan Caldwell of Scottsdale, who will be a senior this year at Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, said the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton in 1998, the Florida ballot recounts in 2000 and the Iraq war have also caught the attention of his peers.
"It's forced a lot of young people to take sides," said Caldwell, 17.
Political interest also tends to spike upward during presidential election seasons.
"There are a lot of kids in Arizona who are excited about the president," said Manny Espinoza, 24, state chairman of Students for Bush. "They're giving up their summer to help re-elect President Bush."
Espinoza said he has seen students as young as 15 get involved in the Bush campaign, and even more at the college level.
He said ASU, with about 2,600 volunteers, has the largest Students for Bush chapter in the nation.
Lois Fitch, who started the Teenage Republicans club at Saguaro in 1970 and now serves as state Teenage Republican coordinator, will travel July 10 to Washington, D.C., with 24 students for the annual Teenage Republican convention.
She said she launched the teenage program in Arizona during the protest era because her students needed a way for their voices to be heard.
"I saw where the kids were on the outside looking in, and they needed to be included in the process," she said.

''Do we have enough room in the mouth area?''
''Does it strapon?''
''Once I take the latex off, can I use it again?''
It's a typical Tuesday morning in the cluttered L.A. office of Fox's exec VP of alternative programming, Mike Darnell -- the man who brought you Joe Millionaire and Celebrity Boxing. Typical because he arrived late for this meeting, and he'll be late for the next one. Typical because there are a dozen people needing his counsel while his phone rings incessantly. Typical because the topic at hand involves a ridiculous reality show that's being rushed onto the air next month.
This one's called Mr. Personality, and here's the premise: Let's see whether a woman can choose her mate based on inner beauty -- by dating a bunch of men in masks! Done properly, Darnell could be enjoying another hit that generates the watercooler chatter -- ironic, genuine, it doesn't matter -- he so very much craves. Done poorly? Well, let's not even go there, because it's just gonna make him even more competitive, stressed out, and sleep-deprived than he already is. Right now, he just needs to focus on the show's most critical element, the mask, which is concealed underneath a cloth. Darnell, dressed in his usual jeans and cowboy boots, reiterates his concern about the preliminary designs: They made it too easy to determine whether the wearer was attractive. The mask maker unveils an eerie, chiseled clay mold.
''What kind of face was underneath?'' Darnell asks, studying it intently.
''I took a vacuum form of a rather large man's face,'' she answers.
''Handsome or not handsome?''
''Not handsome.''
''I can't tell,'' Darnell mutters. ''That's pretty good.'' The discussion turns to how contestants will be ID'd while they're wearing one of the 10 colored latex versions of the false face. ''Should we give them names?'' Darnell wonders aloud. ''I'd love her to say 'Blue Mask Man' or something, but I don't know if it'll work in a romantic situation: 'Oh, Blue Man! I think you're so sweet!' 'Green Man is driving me crazy!'''
The glare from the lightbulbs popping above Darnell's head intensifies. ''I think there's something funny here.'' He chuckles. ''This show is pretty f -- -ing funny.''
It's also intriguing, humiliating, crafty, and sensational. And we're betting critics will hate it. It's just like every other spectacle that Darnell has created in his nine-year career at Fox, a tenure that can be officially -- though not adequately -- summarized by phrases like Man vs. Beast and Temptation Island. Many laud Darnell, 40, as a cunning TV showman with dead-on instincts. Others deride him as a carnival-barking schlock purveyor who's hastening the end of civilization. But one thing everyone can agree on: This 5-foot-tall, 93-pound Tiny Tim-esque dude casts a huge shadow over the television landscape. Rival networks copy his formulas, and two of this season's biggest hits, Joe Millionaire and American Idol, came from his division, helping Fox emerge from a Nielsen nadir. In other words, Mike Darnell is the best (or worst) thing to happen to TV since the remote control.

Respiratory Therapists Stingy with o2?
0Jan 19, '13 by hajiThis has happened to me twice recently. I have had some very sick patients on bipap (DNR) who were near death. When the patients desaturated, and I suggested to the respiratory therapist (both times already at the bedside with me) to turn the fio2 up to 100%, they balk and only go up to 50%. So I have to go over myself and push the buttons. Both patients died pretty soon after this despite some improvement in sat. I don't think the patients died because of hypoxemia.
Anyway, it just seems crazy to me, if somebody is hypotensive, desaturating, and barely alive, why be stingy with the o2? Has anybody else had this issue? -
3Jan 19, '13 by samaschOxygen is a drug and with any drug if you give too much there could be adverse reactions. If the patient was near death anyway, why would you want to give them more of a drug just too make your numbers look good? Giving oxygen to a dying patient doesn't help at all. Instead of thinking that the RT was "stingy", you should trust the RT in their assessment.
0Jan 20, '13 by prep8611It's kinda like adding a fifth pressor on someone who is 60/30 post code who they just made dnr. I understand your thought but your paddling against a white water with a dingy. Your delaying the inevitable and the patient doesn't want to live on a vent for the rest of their life.
1Jan 21, '13 by hajiOne patient was DNR but we were trying to keep him going until his family got there. The next was a meds only code. So in both cases I had an intensivist in the room and we were giving pressors and code drugs. I don't like it when really sick DNR patients are brought into the icu and we try to resuscitate them. I don't see the point in it either, but its relatively common at my unit. So I try and keep them alive, short of CPR and intubation.
My point was that if someone is dying and you are trying to keep them alive, they need oxygen and there is no reason to resuscitate them on 40%.Mully likes this. -
1Jan 21, '13 by prep8611My hospital doesn't do "med codes" or at least i haven't witnessed it thank god. If ur hearts not squeezing what's the point exactly for asystole or vfib patient to receive pressors? Beating a dead horse is all it is.... Kinda like increasing the 02 on bipap for a dying patient that needs to be intubated. Unless you were stalling for the family to get there i still see no point.turnforthenurseRN likes this.
1Jan 21, '13 by Altra GuideQuote from hajiWhy?Anyway, it just seems crazy to me, if somebody is hypotensive, desaturating, and barely alive, why be stingy with the o2? Has anybody else had this issue?
Because the patient is actively dying, and has expressed a desire to have heroic efforts limited.
One more thought: it may very well be acceptable at your hospital for you to change BIPAP and/or vent settings ... but I would be very careful about making sure there is an order for those settings.RT_Skyler likes this.

Lady Gaga has a lot of work to do if she wants to release her upcoming record this year, her producer Zedd has said. According to him, Gaga's schedule with her Born This Way tour, has kept them from finishing the album which could mean that the record may not be released this year after all, despite what the 26-year old may have promised.
Lady Gaga's Producer Reveals Her Forthcoming Record 'POPART' Is Nowhere Near Finished
Lady Gaga Plays Football With Children In Rio de Janeiro – (PHOTOS)
Lady Gaga enjoyed a day out with local children as they played football in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro. The singer who is currently in Brazil as part of her 'Born This Way Ball' world tour, shocked onlookers when she strolled through the rough area in the Cantalgo slum earlier this week. Showing off her pink hair, Gaga shared pictures of her experience in Brazil, as hundreds of residents left their home to greet the singer before asking for autographs and hugs (see pictures below).
Gaga was definitely moved by her visit to Rio de Janeiro when she tweeted: "Today was the best day I've ever had, had so much fun.I'll never forget Rio, you lit my heart into flames." … "We even played football, they were SO GOOD IT WAS CRAZY." It was definitely an exciting day for the residents as they usually witness terrible things happen in the area which is known to be very dangerous when reports claimed 20 people are assassinated every day in Rio, while millions are left homeless.
Meanwhile, Gaga has also shared other exciting news. Earlier this month she announced she would be donating $1 million to the Hurricane Sandy relief effort after last week's mishap. Explaining on her official website: "Today I pledge 1 million dollars to New York & The American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy Relief," she wrote.
"If it wasn't for NYC: the Lower Eastside, Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn, I would not be the woman or artist that I am today." She continued: "New York is relentless ambition, a drive to succeed, a place where there is a natural pursuit of diversity through compassion. Please accept this gift on behalf of myself, my parents Joe and Cynthia, and my sister Natali; with our deepest gratitude New York for raising us. Thank you for helping me build my spirit. I will now help you rebuild yours. Sincerely, Lady GaGa and The Germanottas."
Lady Gaga 'Edge of Glory' Official Music Video Kicks Butt

BRAND NEW: Lady Gaga 'Born This Way' Album Release Tease
Lady Gaga has completed her HIGHLY anticipated album, Born This Way. And to treat her fans, she posted the photo above and Tweeted:
"In Nebraska, finishing up record today. I'm so proud of the album: I keep dancing+drinking: metal/techno rock journey of a woman on the run."
May 23rd is the date. It won't be changed again. Although I wish it would. The album is done. Let's hear it now! Yeah, I know, I am very impatient.
Glee Goes Gaga Again!
Glee loves Lady Gaga and they are bringing the Gleeks another round of her freshest music. Born This Way is going to be featured on the show in the spring.
Glee Live in Concert Summer 2011 Tour Dates Announced
Gwyneth Paltrow Doing Second Glee Episode
Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy told EW that Gaga's Born this Way March or April. This episode will focus on Dave Karofsky (Max Adler), whose bullying drove Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) to transfer schools during the first half of the season.
"I love that that song is [an] anthem. This show is by nature optimistic and I think a character like Karofsky could turn to booze or pills or alcohol and kill themselves or do something dark. But I also love Max and I love that character and I sorta want that character to have a happy ending. So I don't really know what that's going to be, but I do know we're going to do a whole episode that's about that song."
Sounds good to me! We will get to hear Gaga's Born This Way next month ….. so you'll have it memorized before it lands on Glee.

Gerald Bradshaw
Updated: July 6, 2012 8:59AM
Dear Mr. Bradshaw — My daughter will be a high school freshman in August.
Each year, we hear about students who have nearly perfect grades and who have taken several Advanced Placement classes being rejected by top colleges. We want to make sure she has the right preparation and advice about her options. How can we better prepare her for the college selection process? — ParentDear Parent
— Excellent grades and test scores, plus strong leadership skills, are key to gaining admittance to a top college.
State colleges tend to be more lenient when it comes to grades and classroom performance, but not top-tier colleges.
Harvard had 35,000 applicants last year, and 81 percent of those accepted chose to enroll. More than 14,000 applicants to Harvard scored above 700 on the critical reading, math and writing portions of the SAT, and more than 3,800 were ranked first in their respective high school classes.
Freshman statistics show 41 percent of the students admitted excelled in extracurricular interests, including music and other expressive and performing arts; 35 percent in debate, political activities and student government; 21 percent in social services, and 20 percent in writing and journalism.
In addition, 57 percent said they intend to participate in recreational, intramural or intercollegiate sports.
The question is, how do you prepare for a top college in a way that will separate you from the pack?
Start studying for the SAT as a freshman, because SAT scores play a huge roll in admissions. In addition, you will need to take two or more SAT II Subject Tests if you plan to apply to a top-tier college. That means you need to do well on five or more tests.
Take the SAT in the freshman year. It will establish a benchmark and a guide to the student's strong and weak points.
I offer a five-week SAT boot camp for juniors. The courses are taught by Harvard students who had perfect scores on the tests they tutor. If you hire a tutor, ask to see his or her test scores. If they haven't scored 800, it is unlikely they are competent to guide you to reach a higher level.
Besides the SAT boot camp, I have developed a leadership skills program that will help a student develop the techniques, skills and confidence needed to succeed. America's leading colleges no longer look just for students with great grades and top test scores. They look for students who make the most of opportunities and resources around them and meaningful impacts in the community.
As we were developing the leadership curriculum, we asked ourselves what we wish we had known about how to develop leadership skills in high school. The program includes instruction in time management, public speaking, presentation preparation, writing, interviewing and listening effectively, running meetings, basic and advanced computer skills, and fundraising techniques.
I applaud your interest in getting an early start on the college selection process. Establishing an educational framework that will support your daughter's interests and eventually intrigue college admissions officers is nothing to leave to chance.


text: With their Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Samsung have made a high-end tablet, that features the latest and greates in almost any aspect. In case of the SoC there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon quadcore with Krait 400 CPU, that clocks at 2.3 GHz and in case of the GPU we finde an Adreno 330 chip. Other than that there is 2560 x 1600 pixel display with 299 ppi pixel density and the back of the tablet has actually been covered with leather, which give this product a classy touch. So far we're rather curious if all these number together leave a lasting impression or if it's just yet another expensive piece of hardware.

Speculating about emergent new apps for the iPhone/iTouch is certainly an entertaining diversion, but old dogs learning to dance might be the real ticket.
David Szetela from Search Engine Watch posted an open letter to Google Engineering asking them to please slow down a little. The basic assertion is that Google Engineers are moving so quickly that they are not taking the time to thoroughly test new code. And as a result, bugs are making it into live code. His proposed solution is to slow down and test more rigorously.
But here's the thing, Google: you're already waaaay out ahead – for example, your Google AdWords campaign management software is two generations or more ahead of Yahoo and Microsoft. So you can afford to slow down a bit and test more rigorously before even minor software releases. You're starting to get a reputation for developing buggy software – one that's not deserved for the most part – and now is the time to nip the problem in the bud before the perception starts to snowball.
While I agree with the goal of producing code with fewer bugs, I think the proposed solution is misguided. Google has successfully created a culture of velocity and execution that has been tremendously successful. Slowing down would be a significant mistake. In a recent New York Times interview Google's CEO talked about velocity,
VELOCITY does, indeed, matter, and Google deploys it to great effect. Conventional software is typically built, tested and shipped in two- or three-year product cycles. Inside Google, Mr. Schmidt says, there are no two-year plans. Its product road maps look ahead only four or five months at most. And, Mr. Schmidt says, the only plans "anybody believes in go through the end of this quarter."
Speed is a key advantage, and not something that should be sacrificed lightly. If Google is in fact way ahead of Yahoo and Microsoft, and I believe they are, then more power to them. In fact I hope they keep screaming along. I'd rather see Microsoft and Yahoo fall so far behind that they have no choice but scrap their old models and reinvent themselves into leaner, faster companies. Besides, slowing down doesn't guarantee better quality. We can point to endless examples of slowly developed buggy code from Microsoft.
A better challenge to Google engineering would be to create a testing process that can keep up with their current velocity. If they've been able to reinvent application developement, why not testing as well?
A few weeks before Christmas my mother and I were chatting about ideas for holiday gift giving and she semi-casually mentioned a shiny gizmo she'd like to have. The next day I was killing honey-dos at Costco and walked right by the exact shiny gizmo we'd discussed the night before. [Cue Angelic Choir Music] Quick inspection revealed it did exactly what I wanted, made by Sony, reasonable price and simple enough for mom. Sold! One more thing off the list...
As I put it in the cart, the questions started in my head... Is this really the best one? I wonder how it's been reviewed? Is this really a good price?
With an internet connection I could resolve these doubts in about 60 seconds, but I was pushing a sled through Costco and no relief for the nagging questions could be found. Reluctantly, I returned the shiny Sony gizmo back to its home on the shelf, and moved on.
Now I am not an indecisive shopper, in fact quite the opposite, and I wondered about where this sales process broke down. Eventually it dawned on me that I've come to trust the opinions of often unqualified strangers more than the promise of a brand. This is where the tried and true sales models like AIDA really start to break down. The product got my Attention, I was clearly Interested and had Desire, but in the end didn't take Action.
Why mention a century old sales model? Because I still see it used and referred to all the time. Most recently it popped up in Call to Action, an otherwise great book on persuasion architecture for the web. The model's had tremendous longevity because it does work in many cases and has proven effective for focusing and improving sales results. But it fails to explain why I hesitated and ultimately decided against purchasing that shiny Sony gizmo.
For me, this potential purchase was missing Confirmation from a trusted source. My trusted sources take many forms; user reviews of movies, user reviews of restaurants on Yelp, knowledgeable friends, user reviews on Amazon and some expert reviews. Most of these are people I don't know, probably will never meet and likely have little "expertise" in the area reviewed. Yet I've come to trust their opinion because more times than not, I've had good results.
A brand or an expert used to provide the confirmation and trust that's often necessary to complete a purchase, but no longer for me. I'll take the opinions of strangers over the stamp of Sony and be better for it. Interestingly, about 15 minutes later, I walked into the wine section of Costco where they prominently display the Wine Spectator "score" of nearly every wine they sell. I picked up a few bottles of a 93 pt. cab without a second thought.
So I have to ask, does it make sense for Costco to label and score hundreds of cases of wine, yet not provide the same confirming information on the few dozen electronic items that cost 10 times as much? Is there something you're forgetting to confirm that could make the difference between sold and passed by?
Lessons from a tree farm.
We've had an artificial Christmas tree for as long as I can remember. Our children, 10 and 13, have never had a live tree in their house, until now. Being a live tree noob, I was apprehensive about the process of acquiring a tree, not just any tree mind you, but the first tree of our children's lives. I ran through the list of usual tree selling suspects, home depot, various tents around the neighborhood, and then saw a sign for Orange County Christmas tree nirvana... Peltzer Pines 7 miles that way.
Now granted, we're talking Orange County here, so pine trees are not exactly growing on every corner. Orange County is a desert turned green by copious amounts of water delivered from Northern California every day. Peltzer Pines is a small farm that has been growing Christmas trees for 40 years. And with that experience, they have completely nailed the process of acquiring a Christmas tree. There are lessons to be learned ...
So a tip of the hat to Peltzer Pines. They got it right. Oh, and you can save $4 if you're really interested.
is a myth. In fact it's more than that; it's a barricade. An insurmountable hurdle that keeps us from starting. There's all this hype and pressure around "firsts" and I'm finally over it. First Kiss, First Date, First Step, First Word, First lock of hair removed by scissors. We want to make these events more than are; memorialize them, photograph them, bronze them and put them on the mantle. So after months, maybe years, of procrastinating, false starts and rabbit holes, I've finally decided there is no perfect first. Note-to-self, "Get over it and get going!"
The journey here was not without interesting diversions. I've mocked up designs, written notebooks of ideas, and started and stopped more than few times. And let's not forget the ultimate tool of delay... research. I thought a post on first posts would be an interesting and ironic first post. So research I did. Starting with friends and co-workers like Greg, Ryan, and Ethan. Then moving on to some regular reads like Jaffe Juice, Grok, Phil Cooke. This was not going anywhere helpful until I peeked into the archives here, here and here.
And then finally, I remembered that Zeldman has been blogging forever (since 1995 according to his site), and thought I'd peek into Zeldman's past. Colossal mistake. This is where research stopped being productive and turned into a huge time-sucking-black-hole. After browsing an irrational number of pages on Zeldman.com and A List Apart, I can only conclude that Jeffrey is either violently opposed to the concept of an archive or that he takes obscene pleasure in torturing rational minds. I mean if http://www.alistapart.com/issues/8 returns everything from issue 8, can't we reasonably conclude that http://www.alistapart.com/issues/1 should return something like, oh I don't know, the first post on A List Apart?!?!?
But I digress, and that's really the problem. There are endless opportunities for digression. At some point you just have to stop and go with what you have. Stop waiting for the perfect time, the perfect place, the perfect look, the perfect post. It doesn't exist. Move on. In fact most of the firsts are far better after the first. So here it is. Written. Done.

Hello....I had a dear friend (now deceased) that gave me a start of orchid cactus straps. The plant bloomed for me, in Kansas, then we moved to Glendale, AZ. It has since died....and I'd like to try again in Jackie's memory. Does anyone have a couple of straps they'd share? Thank you.....Carol (email@example.com) |

Inside the Cooler Master Cosmos II
Once you release the door latch these plastic lined aluminum doors swing out as do car doors. The hinge it rides on is very sturdy and stays in place once opened or closed to that position to make removing and reinstalling the door panels a breeze to accomplish.
These hinges are universal so that they work with both sides, but you can see there are four pins that slide into grooves in the hinge. Simply lifting the door allows it to slide out of the grove and you can now set this door aside.
With the dual layered door out of the way we can now see clearly into the Cosmos II. The hardware box is strapped to the hard drive cages, while a huge bundle of wiring is neatly tied behind it.
The 5.25" bays are used by the trio of slots for the optical drives with the easy to use, click in, click out, tool-free clips. The bottom two bays here house the X-drive racks with the locks we seen from the front.
Just below those, you run into the first hard drive rack supporting up to five drives, and are cooled with the 200mm fan with blue LEDs strapped in front of them. At this point the running total of hard drive bays, we are at seven.
Below that rack of hard drives you run into a plastic shroud that houses a pair of 120mm fans. This cover will release from the right side and swing open for access behind it.
Behind the fans are two removable hard drive racks that can house three more drives each. So now the final total is thirteen hard drive spots in the Cosmos II! If you chose to remove these, CM sends a pair of radiator supports to be added here for water cooling.
In the roof of the case Cm ships this 120mm fan all by itself. You can also see there is quite a bit of room above the motherboard tray if you want to put a triple 120mm radiator here if you wanted.

Philips and CSR add voice recognition to TV remotes
Philips is aiming to put a low power Bluetooth Smart interface into TV remotes which will add gesture control and voice recognition.
For its uWand reference design for developing pointing and gesture based remote controls, Philips has integrated a Bluetooth Smart data interface based on two CSR chips, the CSR1010 and the CSR8510.
As a result the design will provide voice recognition in remote controls. The CSR1010 is able to communicate voice commands over a Bluetooth Smart connection.
"We wanted to ensure manufacturers using uWand could also count on a seamless Bluetooth Smart connectivity experience," said Navin Natoewal, General Manager at Philips Business Group Media Interaction.
"Coupled with our unique pointing and gesture control technology, the uWand enables remote controls with fluid and accurate direct control," said Natoewal.
"Today's wireless remote controls need to cope with seamlessly navigating a range of services – allowing consumers to browse the web, play games and access video on demand services – while not having to regularly charge their devices," said Anthony Murray, senior vice-president at CSR.

My dwarf cavendish is in the greenhouse and has produced it's first bunch of banana's. It produced abut 7 hands of 6 bananas each (approx.) The pod than died with only half of it in bananas. Now the tree looks as if it is dying.
Do the trees die after they produce? Is there a solution to the pod dying half way through producing? Thanks, James |

Yes. A banana plant (tree) dies after it produces fruit, some quicker than others. But have no fear. If it hasn't already, the rhizome of the mother plant should produce pups. That's where you want to focus now. -Ray |
What to do with it now? Do we cut it down? If so how? like to the dirt level or below? It lives in a greenhouse full of orchids. Thanks |
- Posted by gardenguy_ z6b PA (My Page) on Sat, Jan 27, 07 at 16:24
Cut down the stem that produced the bananas. Soil level is fine, no need to go deeper and risk damaging what's below. What ever sticks above will just turn brown and dead. The root structure called the corm will send up new shoots, if it hasn't already. |

My friends are very different. Unique individuals with distinct tastes each, it is hard to get them to agree on anything, let alone the type of tablet they want.
So, this shopping season, I am going to take the choice out of their hands and just go buy some of my closest friends tablets that I think will fit their personalities.
There is no shortage of options to choose from.
In 2011, we thought it was "The Year Of The Tablet." In retrospect, we were probably wrong. 2011, like 2010, was more along the lines of "The Year Of The iPad."
In 2012, the tablet market has grown exponentially and competitors to Apple's original slate are in abundance. This makes me happy because it allows me to tailor my tablet shopping to my individual friend's tastes.
So, here are the tablets that a couple close friends of mine will be getting from me this holiday season.
Ryan – Mobile App Designer
Choice: Fourth-generation iPad with 4G LTE
App designers are a special breed of people. These are the types that care about different kinds of fonts, the dynamic of how art in apps effects the user experience and really, just how a website or a mobile app looks. I have seen designers and programmers (who are not really all that different) get into fist fights over the placement of a certain button. For the designer, it is all about the aesthetics.
As such, Ryan wants an iPad with a Retina Display. He has an iPad 2 right now and it is fine, but the better display on the latest iPad gives him the shivers.
"I will take an iPad over Android mainly because of the app ecosystem vs. the iPad ecosystem … since the form-factors are more predictable," Ryan said. "It seems like the iOS stuff gets cutting edge apps sooner and they have a larger selection of apps that appeal to my inner design-nerd."
Jillian – Web Developer
Choice: Kindle Fire HD 8.9-inch
Unlike Ryan, Jill is not really concerned with the design, code or aesthetics of the tablet of her choice in relation to her job. Her primary use of a tablet will be for reading books, watching movies, maybe doing some email and keeping up on the news. Really, a tried and true media tablet.
When it comes to pure media consumption, there is no better tablet for Jill than the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. I decided that she is to get the bigger version of the Fire because it is better on the eyes for video and reading books (though you can control the font size in the Kindle e-reader app). For someone that is not going to be doing a lot of work from tablet, the Fire should be a fine fit.
Zach – Public Relations Pro
Choice: Nexus 7 (32 GB – Wi-Fi + Data)
Zach is a big fan of his iPhone. So, I am going to introduce him to the world of Android with the best of the Nexus devices.
The Nexus 7 is the best of Android. It is smooth and intuitive, has all the apps you might want and comes in a delightful 7-inch form factor that is easy to hold and great to read on. Zach can easily use Twitter and Facebook along with all the RSS feeds he uses to keep track of us tech reporters with the Nexus 7. With the cellular data connection, he can do it from wherever he is. The Nexus 7 is one of my favorite devices and, with luck, maybe I can convince this tried and true iOS fan that Android has something to offer.
So, that is why I will be getting my friends this holiday season. How about you? What tablet best fits your friends' needs?
