One of the hardest nuts to crack has been for the industry to develop a capability for IT professionals that makes identity authentication easy while at the same time making it more secure. Recently, in fact, the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance was formed to come up with a framework solve this problem. It turns out that ForgeRock Inc., a leader in the area of open source identity and access management (IAM), with an update to its Open Identity Stack, has been a solution that can fit the bill as well.
The company says its latest iteration of ForgeRock Open Identity Stack: "Is the only unified, one hundred percent open source stack to secure applications and services across enterprise, cloud, social and mobile environments. The new release builds on ForgeRock's simple, modular, lightweight architecture that provides developers with a single API across their entire stack." They have a great point.
The challenge
Eve Maler, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research, in a Forrester report, Navigate The Future Of Identity and Access Management, sums up the challenge nicely. She states, "IAM in 2012 has become a tool not just for security but also for business agility…Competitive challenges push businesses into the cloud and encourage mobile device use even without full-fledged access controls in place. These trends create pressing provisioning, authentication, and authorization challenges for [Security & Risk] professionals. All the while, security threats and compliance requirements continue to swell."
As with the FIDO initiative, "OPEN" is the key. History says that with IT and communications solutions, all boats actually do rise when the tide comes in. This is why ForgeRock's Spring 2013 release is likely to resonate.
Open for business
The platform includes the latest versions of OpenAM for service access management and OpenIDM for identity management. As ForgeRock notes, with OpenAM 10.1, customers now have the complete support of the OAuth 2.0 standard. This translates into allowing end-users the ability to authorize third-party access to their server resources without sharing their credentials. Put simply this means giving the user access to valuable resources without the possibility of exposing invaluable corporate authentication information. The company has also redesigned its session failover to provide high-availability. Using OpenDJ this means easier implementation and deployment.
On the identification side of things, OpenIDM 2.1 is now optimized for Internet scale. High availability and better performance are also improved based on the use of a discovery engine that is multi-threaded and clustered. The discovery engine enables IT managers to synchronize users across different data stores. It also ensures records are accurate and up to date in support of compliance and audit requirements. In addition, OpenIDM 2.1 embeds the Activiti Business Process and Workflow engine, a comprehensive, lightweight and scalable industry standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) Version 2.0 compliant solution to support workflow driven provisioning and identity management.
"As core contributors to the OpenIDM project it has been extremely rewarding to see the growing number of companies that have adopted Open Identity Stack," said Nathanael Coffing, vice president, business development, Syntegrity Networks. "The latest Open Identity Stack release is focused on further simplifying and streamlining identity and access management for users. We expect this momentum to only continue to build with time, and look forward to continuing to create the features most beneficial to organizations."
As the user community continue to look toward open solutions, ForgeRock is thinking about those whose legacy systems are proprietary and are in the process of losing support from their vendor. In fact, in an invitation to SUN IAM customers, facing Oracle's end-of-life policy for OpenSSO and Waveset, ForeRock says that its solution gives those users, "the opportunity to continue building next-generation features on top of their existing IAM investments…Organizations will have the option to strategically plan for upgrading their Sun IAM deployment. "
"Developers, architects, and users have been asking for a unified stack with these capabilities for the last 10 years," said Mike Ellis, CEO, ForgeRock. "With the new release of our Open Identity Stack we have strengthened our revolutionary approach to identity and access management, providing developers with a truly integrated, open-source identity platform to tightly control their enterprise, cloud, social, and mobile systems. By providing a high value driven platform for IAM that enables true cloud scale functionality, ForgeRock is allowing enterprises globally to expand their reach to customers, suppliers and consumers through a common cloud technology platform."
"As core contributors to the OpenIDM project, it has been extremely rewarding to see the growing number of companies that have adopted Open Identity Stack," said Nathanael Coffing, Vice President, Business Development, Syntegrity Networks. "The new release of Open Identity Stack further simplifies and streamlines identity and access management for users. We expect this momentum to only continue to build with time, and look forward to continuing to create the features most beneficial to organizations."
As the annual RSA event draws near, it is not surprising that ID and service access management issues have started grabbing headlines. Industry buzz, as exhibited at TMC's recent ITEXPO event, where a featured panel on the future of cloud computing became a fascinating discussion about the future role of IT, is now focused on how IT can regain control over the trend to "shadow IT" where lines of business look to the cloud for fast solutions to their problems rather than wait for an internal fix and thus potentially expose enterprises to significant risks. ID and service access management administered by IT in a robust manner is the path to give IT the control they want while enabling end users the access to services they desire.
ForgeRock's pioneering efforts on Open Stack, are a path that is going to gain considerable consideration. If nothing else, RSA sessions on the subject and listening for more detail on all of the solutions emerging to solve the problem of easy but strong authentication and service access are sure to be lively.

Creative mom explores how to live a sustainable life with a focus on food.
Starbucks will soon have calorie counts posted
The coffee chain aims to be more transparent to help people make decisions about what they eat and drink.

I do not really want to know the calorie count of the Starbucks Iced Lemon Pound Cake that I love so much. I don't get it a lot, but every once in a while I indulge, eating the bottom half first and saving the top with the perfectly sour, lemony icing for last like a little kid.
I'm not going to have the luxury of keeping my head buried in the sand much longer, though, because starting June 25, Starbucks will be posting calorie counts in all U.S. locations.
The "company say it is taking this step to extend its 'commitment to wellness' and to expand its transparency," but it might not be too long before Starbucks and all restaurant chains with more than 20 locations would have to display calorie counts anyway. The USDA is expected to require it before the end of the year.
Would posted calorie counts at Starbucks or other chain restaurants make you think twice? It might make me change the drink I'm thinking about getting, but when it comes to the lemon pound cake at Starbucks, I can't imagine wanting a substitute.

On July 26, 2006, a 17-year-old female volunteer junior fire fighter (the victim) died after the tanker truck she was riding in went off a narrow one-lane bridge. The tanker was enroute to a structure fire and failed to negotiate a sharp curve at the approach to the bridge. The tanker crashed through the bridge's guardrail and landed upside down below the bridge. The driver and two other fire fighters riding in the tanker were injured in the incident. The victim was extricated by emergency personnel and pronounced dead at the scene.
NIOSH investigators concluded that, in order to minimize the risk of similar occurrences, fire departments should:Additionally States should,
On July 26, 2006, a 17-year-old female volunteer junior fire fighter (the victim) was fatally injured after the tanker truck she was riding in went off a narrow one-lane bridge. The tanker was enroute to a structure fire and failed to negotiate a sharp curve at the approach to the bridge. The driver and two other fire fighters riding in the tanker were injured in the incident. On July 28, 2006, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) notified the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of this incident. On September 12-13, 2006, a safety and occupational health specialist from the NIOSH Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program traveled to Alabama to investigate this incident. The NIOSH investigator met with the department Chief, a fire fighter who was riding in the apparatus at the time of the incident, and other department members who were relatives of the injured fire fighters and victim. The investigator visited the incident site and took photographs. The investigator also reviewed the 911 dispatch logs, the vehicle's maintenance log, the Alabama uniform traffic accident report, law enforcement photographs of the incident, and spoke with the county coroner.
Fire Department
The volunteer department has 35 members that serve a population of approximately 3,400 within a rural area of about 48 square miles. The department serves the community from a single station and provides coverage for an area school, several churches and several local businesses along with numerous poultry farms. The department has 3 engines, 2 tankers, a brush truck and a rapid attack rescue truck. The department is funded through the county and department-sponsored fundraising events. At the time of this incident, the department did not have written standard operating procedures (SOPs) or guidelines (SOGs). In addition, the department did not require any driver training.
Training and Experience
The State of Alabama requires individuals be 18 years old and possess a valid driver's license before they can become a member of a volunteer fire department. Alabama labor laws prohibit any one under the age of 18 from riding in a fire apparatus enroute to emergency calls or performing duties that include fighting fires.1
The 17-year-old victim had been a volunteer junior fire fighter for approximately 4 years and had received first aid/cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency responder training through the department.
Alabama has no state training requirements for volunteer or junior fire fighters. The Alabama Fire College has a non-mandatory 160-hour volunteer fire fighter certification course.2, 3 None of the fire fighters involved in this incident had completed this training.Road and Weather Conditions
The incident occurred on a one-lane bridge located at the bottom of a downgrade on a horseshoe curve (see Photo 1) approximately 4 miles from the fire station. The asphalt road leading to the bridge is approximately 23 feet wide and the road makes a very sharp right hand curve as it approaches the bridge. According to the fire department and County 911 dispatch, there have been several vehicular incidents (with one other fatality) at this location in the last three years.
Equipment and Personnel
The tanker truck (also referred to as a tender in the western United States) was a 1982 model that was formerly a propane delivery truck (see Photo 2 and Photo 3). The tanker truck had an elliptical, 2,000-gallon tank and was full (Note: The exact type of tank baffling is unknown. Prior to the NIOSH field investigation, the towing company scrapped the tanker. The fire department reported containment-type baffling with three longitudinal baffles, which were probably the compartment bulkheads). The tanker truck had a diesel engine, two axles, 6 tires, a manual transmission, and an air brake system. The tanker truck had a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 33,000 lbs and was not equipped with an auxiliary braking system. The tanker truck was purchased used by the department in early 2005. The department did its own vehicle maintenance and a review of the maintenance log indicated only that minor repairs had been performed on the apparatus. The vehicle had two seats and was not equipped with seat belts.
On July 26, 2006, at 1859 hours, the department was dispatched as mutual aid to a structure fire. Fire Fighter #1 arrived at the station at approximately 1900 hours and donned his bunker gear and proceeded to drive Tanker 1 from the station. (Note: Three engines from the department were already enroute to the fire). As Fire Fighter #1 was pulling out of the station, Fire Fighter #2, Fire Fighter #3 and the victim arrived at the station in a privately owned vehicle (POV). They parked the POV and jumped into the cab of the tanker. (Note: Fire Fighter # 2 and Fire Fighter #3 were wearing street clothes but had their bunker gear bags with them. Since the victim was a junior member she was not issued bunker gear as it is department policy that junior members do not engage in fire suppression).
Fire Fighter #2 sat in the passenger's seat with his gear bag at his feet. Since the tanker only had two seats, the victim sat on the floor of the cab between the seats in front of the engine hump. Fire Fighter #3 shared the inside edge of the passenger seat with Fire Fighter #2. None of the fire fighters were wearing a seat belt. (Note: Although the vehicle was originally equipped with seat belts, they were either broken or missing). The four fire fighters departed the station at approximately 1908 hours and the driver radioed dispatch that Tanker 1 was enroute. (Note: County 911 Dispatch did not have a dispatch or enroute time for Tanker 1, but the log indicated that they were unable to copy a unit number due to siren noise in the background).
At approximately 1915 hours, the tanker approached the bridge. The driver began braking as the tanker started downhill. One of the injured fire fighters remembers hearing "You're going too fast!" The driver replied "I've got it under control!" Then just prior to the horseshoe curve, the driver reported that the brakes failed. The driver downshifted as he reached the turn to the bridge, but the truck struck the guardrail on the driver's side. About midway over the bridge, the truck began to roll onto the driver's side. Prior to reaching the end of the bridge, the tanker rolled onto the driver's side, crashed through the guard rail and landed upside down approximately 20 feet below in the creek bed (see Diagram).
The accident was reported to 911 dispatch by an area resident. Department vehicles enroute to the structure fire turned around (Note: Just prior to their arrival to the fire ground, the structural fire was brought under control by the initial responding volunteer department) and responded to the incident scene (see Photo 4). Fire Fighter #1 (the driver) was able to wiggle out of his turnout coat and free himself from the wreckage. He crawled out the broken driver's side window. The other three fire fighters were trapped upside down in the wreckage of the tanker's cab. Emergency responders used hydraulic rescue tools to free the trapped fire fighters in an extrication that lasted approximately one hour. Between 1919-1946 hours, three additional departments arrived on scene to assist with the extrication and set up a landing zone for a Medical Evacuation (MedEvac) helicopter. At 2019 hours, the MedEvac helicopter arrived on scene to transport the injured fire fighters. At 2035 hours, the MedEvac helicopter departed for the hospital with Fire Fighter #2 and Fire Fighter #3. The victim was the last to be extricated from the wreckage and was pronounced dead at the scene at 2105 hours by the county coroner.
Fire Fighter #1 was treated and released from the emergency room with burns to the hands, head, shoulders and chest from hot engine oil that spilled into the cab (Note: The engine oil escaped from the crushed engine valve cover). Fire Fighter #2 was transported to a regional trauma center with multiple broken vertebras, a head contusion, and numerous second degree burns from hot engine oil. Fire Fighter #2 was immediately transferred to a regional burn center and was hospitalized for about two weeks. Fire Fighter #3 was also transported to a regional trauma center. He fractured both wrists and two ribs, suffered a head contusion and multiple abrasions. Fire Fighter #3 was hospitalized for two weeks after the incident.According to the county coroner, the cause of death was blunt force trauma with head and chest injuries.
Discussion: The victim and one of the injured firefighters in this incident were not fully seated in the apparatus. The victim was seated on the floor of the cab between the driver's and passenger's seats and Fire Fighters #2 and #3 were sharing the passenger's seat. Fire fighters should never ride in fire apparatus in a location other than an approved seat. NFPA 1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Programs states that "All persons riding in fire apparatus shall be seated and belted securely by seat belts in approved riding positions and at any time the vehicle is in motion. Standing or riding on tail steps, sidesteps, running boards, or any other exposed position shall be specifically prohibited."4 NFPA 1500 further states "On existing fire apparatus where there is an insufficient number of seats available for the number of members assigned to or expected to ride on that piece of apparatus, alternate means of transportation that provide seated and belted positions shall be used."4
Discussion: Although the tanker involved in this incident was originally equipped with seatbelts when it was manufactured, they were missing at the time of this incident. Fire departments should retrofit older vehicles with seatbelts for all approved riding positions. Seatbelts that are missing or damaged should be immediately replaced. Vehicles not equipped with seat belts should be taken out of service. A vehicle operator who is properly secured by a seatbelt will have a better chance at maintaining control of the vehicle in an emergency situation and belted occupants will have an increased likelihood of surviving a crash.4-6 Fire departments should develop and enforce SOPs on the use of seatbelts. The SOPs should state that all fire fighters on board must be seated and secured in an approved riding position whenever the vehicle is in motion. Wearing a seatbelt can minimize the risks to the driver and other occupants in the event a crash occurs.4-6
Discussion: The Alabama uniform traffic accident report estimated the speed of the tanker at 40 mph as it approached the bridge. The cautionary speed sign indicated 25 mph and this should be considered the maximum safe speed limit for a passenger vehicle (Note: A cautionary speed sign is not intended for heavy trucks or commercial vehicles). Fire apparatus should be operated at a much slower speed though curves than the suggested speed that appears on the warning sign. Tankers should never be driven at a speed at which the vehicle cannot be controlled.5-7 Many fire departments do not equip tankers with red lights and sirens as first response vehicles, but have opted to equip them with yellow or amber lights and use them as fire ground support vehicles.
Discussion: Driver training should be conducted in accordance with NFPA 1451, Standard for a Fire Service Vehicle Operations Training Program and NFPA 1002, Fire Apparatus Driver/Operator Professional Qualifications.8, 9 These standards state that departments should establish and maintain a driver training education program and each member should be provided driver training not less than twice a year. During this training, each driver should operate the vehicle and perform tasks that the driver/operator is expected to encounter during normal operations to ensure the vehicle is safely operated in compliance with all applicable State and local laws. Driver training should address vehicle characteristics, capabilities and limitations. Tankers, for example, tend to be heavier and to have a higher center of gravity than other fire vehicles.6 Both of these factors affect the driver's ability to control a tanker. Based on physics and inertia, a top heavy vehicle, such as a tanker, is inclined to tip or roll over if driven through a curve at an unsafe speed.6
Discussion: Although this volunteer department did not have written SOPs, they did have an unwritten policy that junior members were not permitted to ride fire apparatus on calls. It was unclear why the victim responded during this call. Department personnel speculated that the victim's 18th birthday was less than a month away at which time she would have been a full department member. Guidelines and procedures for junior members should be in writing, readily available to members of the fire department, and incorporated into written departmental SOPs. Fire department personnel should be made aware of the requirements, responsibilities and permitted activities of junior fire fighters to help ensure that they are assigned appropriate tasks and that they are appropriately supervised. The victim was not under the supervision of an officer during this incident.
Discussion: Used fire apparatus obtained by fire departments should be fully inspected, repaired as needed, and road tested by a qualified mechanic prior to being placed into service. NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing, and Retirement of In-Service Automotive Fire Apparatus states that fire apparatus should be serviced and maintained to keep them in safe operating condition and ready for response at all times.10 Maintenance schedules should be established and recorded as an integral part of a well-planned maintenance program. The maintenance program should include daily, weekly, and periodic maintenance service checks. The maintenance checks should be based on the manufacturer's service manuals, local experience, and operating conditions. In this incident, the tanker was not equipped with seatbelts and the driver reported braking problems. Vehicles with mechanical deficiencies should be taken out of service until properly repaired. The department in this incident performs its own vehicle maintenance and there are no procedures in place on when to declare a vehicle unsafe and remove it from service until it is repaired.
Discussion: The fire department involved in this incident did not have written standard operating procedures. Unwritten directives are difficult to learn, remember, and apply.11 Fire departments should develop SOPs for all fire fighting operations and these operational procedures should be committed to writing.12 Each fire fighter should have a written copy of the SOPs and they should be the subject of company drills. NFPA 1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Programs 8.1.2 states, "an incident management system that meets the requirements of NFPA 1561, Standard on Emergency Services Incident Management System, shall be established with written standard operating procedures applying to all members involved in emergency operations."4
The International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) has developed policies and procedures for emergency vehicle safety.13 According to the IAFC, many vehicular accidents could be prevented through the proper implementation and application of SOPs. Their guidance document "Guide to IAFC Model Policies and Procedures for Emergency Vehicle Safety" should be used as a resource by fire departments for developing their own departmental SOPs. Other resources have been developed by the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) "Emergency Vehicle Safe Operations for Volunteer and Small Combination Emergency Service Organizations" and the U.S. Fire Administration's "Emergency Vehicle Safety Initiative." 14, 15Discussion: According to the U.S. Fire Administration a large percentage of serious crashes involving fire department tankers can be attributed to tankers that were crafted from non-fire service vehicles.6 In some cases, the "new" tanker is placed on a used vehicle that is already in questionable mechanical condition. In other cases, a reliable vehicle chassis is obtained and then an excessive amount of weight is added to it.
A common practice is to develop a fire department tanker using a converted fuel oil or gasoline tanker.6 Even though these vehicles may be in excellent condition when the fire department acquires them, these chassis frequently are not designed for the weight of the water that will be carried on them. One gallon of water weighs 8.33 pounds. One gallon of gasoline weighs 5.6 pounds, and one gallon of fuel oil weighs 7.12 pounds. Thus, if the vehicle's tank holds 2,000 gallons, water will weigh 5,460 pounds more than gasoline and 2,420 pounds more than fuel oil. This added weight creates significant safety issues for the vehicle. Another weight-related issue commonly found on retrofit tankers is the addition of pumps, piping, and other associated equipment to the apparatus. This equipment may further complicate the overweight problems discussed above. The weight of equipment must be considered along with the weight of water when determining the safe carrying capacity of the equipment.
Another problem with converting fuel tankers is that in many cases the tanks are improperly baffled for fire department use.6 These vehicles are often designed to be driven completely full or completely empty. Thus, when the vehicle is being driven with a partially filled tank, liquid surges within the tank can result in the vehicle going out of control. Fire departments considering converting these vehicles for emergency use must add baffles or baffle balls to the inside of the tanks before placing them in service. Another significant impact of the wear and tear on the vehicle is that fuel tankers generally only spend a fraction of every 24-hour period with a full tank. When parked and not in use, they most commonly have empty tanks. Fire department tankers are loaded with water 24-hours a day, every day. This constant load on the chassis and suspension will increase the amount of wear on the apparatus once it is converted to a fire tanker.
Additionally States should,
Discussion: The victim in this incident was a minor and Alabama does not have a written program addressing junior fire fighters. Junior fire fighter programs provide young people with the opportunity to experience the fire service first hand and junior fire fighters often become future fire fighters. Programs involving junior fire fighters must consider local and state laws for protection of youth from hazardous conditions, and should specify the permissible and non-permissible tasks and functions for youths. The Volunteer Firemen's Insurance Services (VFIS) has guidance in their publication Junior Fire and Emergency Services Programs.16 According to the VFIS, "Sound safety policies must be in place to stipulate what youth members are permitted to do and prohibited from doing in and around the fire station, en route to and from emergencies, and on the emergency scene. These policies must be consistent with fire department regulations, and State laws, and in the case of organizations which are Explorer Posts, must be consistent with guidelines from the Boy Scouts of America. These policies should be established through a comprehensive set of laws before group activities are initiated."
Discussion: States should consider taking a more active role to ensure the safety of fire apparatus by requiring annual vehicle safety inspections. State inspections should address NFPA 1911, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing, and Retirement of In-Service Automotive Fire Apparatus, which defines the minimum requirements for establishing an inspection, maintenance, and testing program for in-service fire apparatus.10
This incident was investigated by Steve Berardinelli, Occupational Safety and Health Specialist with the Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Team, Surveillance and Field Investigations Branch, Division of Safety Research, NIOSH located in Morgantown, WV. Technical reviews were provided by Bill Troup, U.S. Fire Administration and Mike Wilbur, nationally recognized in emergency vehicle operations and co-editor of www.EmergencyVehicleResponse.com.

A bit of Barcelona in the heart of Washington, D.C.—that was the goal when GrizForm Design Architects began work on Estadio, a Spanish tapas restaurant serving classic dishes in a traditional-meets-contemporary setting. The 2,800-square-foot establishment which seats 113 people opened its doors last year, and has been such a hit that it remains crowded on a nightly basis. A Saturday night meal still requires a two-hour wait for a table.
The structure that became Estadio was a retail plant shop prior to its eight-month renovation, which took it from what GrizForm Principal and Owner Griz Dwight describes as "basically a drywall box" to an authentic Spanish restaurant.
"We wanted a design that translated that feeling, but we didn't want to be Disney with it," he says. "We wanted to take some contemporary lines and ways of doing things while using traditional materials. Restaurants are both fun and difficult to design, and their success can be somewhat dependent on the quality of design. We wanted Estadio to have character."
The restaurant's rough-hewn personality was established early on, after a sizable amount of terra cotta tile was discovered underneath a layer of drywall. It was incorporated into the final design of the walls, as was the reddish-stained concrete floor, which was left largely untouched after construction, save for a good sweeping.
"We tried to use a lot of what was there, and there were a couple of educated guesses and lucky moments," Dwight says. "I think it was lucky that when we took down the drywall, we got that beautiful tile."
Accompanying the terra cotta tile are approximately 400 patterned, reclaimed Spanish tiles, procured from an antique store in Florida. Originally made in the late 19th century, the 1-inch thick tiles were salvaged from a villa in Spain before making the trek across the Atlantic. The tiles comprise a four-tile pattern, and can be rotated 90 degrees to create a mosaic; smaller border tiles are used to end that pattern on the tops and bottoms of the restaurant's walls.
"The tile was one of our splurge items," he adds. "We wanted to do something that would have that 'wow' factor, and I don't think you can buy a local tile that has the same depth of character that this one does. The Spanish color palette is a popular one, in that it has the earth tones that people are looking for. We bought a few tiles, brought them back to the office and started to pull the reds and warmer colors. The floor worked in perfectly with it. Everything, color-wise, works with the tiles and that's why it feels right."
A poured-in-place concrete bar, topped with a 1.5-inch thick slab of marble quarried in Northern Spain, provides a strong visual anchor for the open kitchen area. Because of its porous nature, says Dwight, gradual wear and tear on the marble surface will enhance its character and authenticity, and add to Estadio's distinct old-meets-new atmosphere.
To balance what Dwight calls the "hard, loud surfaces" of stone and tile, GrizForm used pre-manufactured steel rosettes, referencing the pattern on a matador's outfit, welded together and attached to leather-backed sound panels. "We wanted to balance the stone and tile with something a little bit softer to absorb some of the sound," he explains. "The panels pivot on custom-designed posts to make a private room."
As a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED-AP), Dwight strives to use recycled or recyclable products in all of his spaces. Estadio presented some challenges, but sustainability came in the form of using what was available.
"Obviously, shipping [marble] from Spain is not necessarily that green of an element," he says, "but a lot of wood in the restaurant is reclaimed pine from a local barn. There was a lot of reusing elements within the space."
Because it was an existing plant store, the building had two bathrooms, both of which were left in place. The layout of the restaurant was designed to retain most of the existing infrastructure, and while the team had to supplement the AC system to fit the new use, the original units remain in their original location. The kitchen's compact size and layout eliminate any extraneous elements and cooking equipment ("You won't find a burner running when nobody's watching it," Dwight says), reducing the restaurant's energy requirements.
Sustainability also comes in the form of source durability and maintenance. "We've chosen products that can wear," says Dwight. "The tiles are sealed with a sealer and they're wiped down. They bear some nicks and marks from the century of use that they had before coming here, and I appreciate and enjoy that. The concrete floor is what it is and what it will be. The wood tables are all made of recycled pine and came pre-dented and pre-scratched, so we don't worry about having to maintain them in a way that uses a lot of resources. All of the lighting is on dimmers, so we can adjust the levels to the weather and the time of day. Two of the four walls of the restaurant are complete windows. The outside of the building had great character to begin with, and it's in a building that had recently been redone, so we didn't actually do anything to the outside other than give it a good cleaning."
Estadio was GrizForm Design's first tapas restaurant, and capturing authenticity through architecture and use of space has been one of the keys to its success. Dwight initially approached the design from a functional standpoint. Because tapas meals are served on small plates with shared platters, it was important that Estadio offer dining options for groups and individuals. The large tables offer space for multiple diners, while the high-back chairs still ensure privacy. The marble bar allows interaction amongst the chef and patrons, making it ideal for single diners. As a focal point for the restaurant, says Dwight, "You watch your food being cooked and feel like you're at the chef's table. It's a very active process."

Bennett, S. and Gunson, R.N. and McAllister, G.E. and Hutchinson, Sharon and Goldberg, David J. and Cameron, S. and Carman, W. (2012) Detection of hepatitis C virus RNA in dried blood spots. Journal of Clinical Virology, 54 (2). pp. 106-109. ISSN 1386-6532
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
An estimated 130-170 million people worldwide are chronically infected with HCV.(1) In Europe the highest prevalence of HCV infections is in the IDU population.(2) As traditional HCV screening relies on the detection of HCV antibody or HCV RNA in blood, screening in high-risk groups such as IDU is difficult due to poor venous access caused by damaged veins. In this study DBS was evaluated as an alternative sample type to blood for the detection of HCV RNA. The endpoint detection limit, inter-assay and intra-assay variability of the method were determined. The DBS method was compared to our routine frontline assay using a panel of paired DBS and blood samples. The effect of different storage temperatures and length of storage time on the stability of HCV RNA in DBS was also assessed. The endpoint detection limit of the method based on results from mock DBS was 250 IU/ml. The method was shown to be precise and robust. The sensitivity and specificity of the method was found to be 100% and 95.8%, respectively. No significant variation in the stability of HCV RNA in DBS over a 1 year period at a range of different temperatures was observed. A sensitive and stable method was developed for the detection of HCV RNA in DBS. Screening high-risk populations using DBS as a sample type may improve uptake of HCV testing by increasing opportunity for patients to be tested and consequently increasing access to treatment.

I have been smoking marijuana since I was 18. I am well-paid,
well-respected, and am surrounded by nothing but good, caring
people in my personal life. I don't really like drinking much,
but I do like coming home after a long day at work, getting a
little high, having a nice meal, and then reading until bed-time.
I have never stolen to get pot. If I don't have money to buy,
oh well. No big deal. Smoking pot has never interfered with my
relationships. In some cases, it has helped solidify relationships.
The most dangerous part of my habit is that sometimes I'll end
up buying from someone I don't know, someplace where I am unfamiliar.
But this is purely a function of the herb's illegality.
I will not dispute that there are members of society who abuse
pot, just as there are those who abuse alcohol, painkillers, and
Valium. The problem, however, is not with the herb. It is with
those who abuse. It is time we as a society recognize this, and
move towards the most positive possible outcomeless abuse,
more treatment, and an end to persecution of those who use responsibly.

Contributor: Geri Lynn Baumblatt – Executive Director of Patient Engagement
Hemodialysis. Opioids. Blood Transfusion. Statins. Transplant. Surgery. Immunomodulators.
The list could go on but the overarching question we face is: when are these options too much or too little treatment?
When are medications like statins and opioids truly beneficial? And where does the trade-off between benefits and side effects drop off for an individual? Clearly, helping people understand their condition, the treatment, the tradeoffs and so on can lead to more appropriate utilization of care with improved outcomes.
This is easier said than done.
As Gary Schwitzer wrote, people are barraged with media messages that are hard to filter and often misleading, while Bruce Lambert described how the combination of low health literacy, complexity and fragmentation of healthcare information makes it increasingly difficult to make good care decisions. Similarly, Lygeia Ricciardi shared her own personal challenges trying to understand health coverage despite having extensive experience with health policy.
So what can we do?
Beccah Rothschild of Consumer Reports explained how national campaigns like Choosing Wisely offer free resources to help people decide whether a screening is right for them. Expert Patient or ePatient, Casey Quinlan shared her own tips for being a savvy patient while Renata Schiavo explained how participatory planning is another available tool to help address the health literacy needs of vulnerable populations. Related, health writer Emily Azari theorized on how a system built on everyday language might offer a more humane experience and lead to more appropriate use of preventive care with less reliance on Emergency Room visits. Insights like these are good starting points for devising applicable strategies.
Paul Barr discussed how something that seems as straightforward as a blood transfusion may often be overtreatment. The average person is not equipped to know to ask whether a transfusion is truly needed at the time of treatment.
Looking from the provider perspective, clinicians don't know how quickly or severely conditions like Crohn's may progress. Dr. Corey Siegel asks: 'In those cases, what is "just right" treatment?' Educating patients about their disease and options and working with them to make these decisions is essential.
Health Literacy and Under-utilization
Under-treatment and under-utilization is also a serious problem. Karen Mulvihill explains how common misconceptions about palliative care results in many people not taking advantage of the opportunities available to them to improve their quality of life. I also looked at the need for education and candor to improve utilization. When we help people with conditions like end stage renal disease fully understand their health while also being candid about their prognosis, they're more likely to take advantage of options like hospice care.
But educating patients about these complex issues shouldn't happen right before it's time for a decision. As Angie Newman says in her piece on dialysis, "If conversations around treatment options start early enough, there's plenty of time to discuss things over weeks and months." Kevin Fowler looked at the next phase of renal disease and why kidney transplant outcomes aren't better in the United States. He also included one of the things that we all know we can do better which is "education and counseling about immunosuppressant medications should be a continual process rather than a 10 minute discussion while being discharged from the hospital."
Understanding Medications
Whether it is immunosuppressants, pain medication or statins, education and appropriate use are practices that overlap constantly. Elizabeth Rankin analyzed how patients need to be better educated on what side effects to watch for, or the medication itself can become the problem. ER physician Shannon Toohey and RN Anne Sullivan found that whether in the ER or recovering from surgery, many people fear pain medications, even for short-term use. Addiction and abuse are serious problems but helping people understand the benefits for acute pain and how to safely taper off of these medications can improve recovery.
Pain and Its' Relationship to Over- and Under-Treatment.
Chronic lower back pain is often a poster child for this issue. People are desperate to be free of chronic pain but helping people understand pain management and how to effectively communicate about their pain is its own challenge.
Amy Bucher's insightful piece discussed how teaching people a wider vocabulary to describe their pain may help manage it and reduce distress. Gonzalo Bacigalupe explained that because treating chronic pain requires subjective assessment and attention to each patient's context, compassionate listening is essential to address the stigmas patients feel and for creating a good palliative plan. Pain expert Judith Paice provided practical tips on how people can describe the location, intensity, and quality of their pain, so they can help their team optimize their pain management.
Diana Dilger and patient, Kerry O'Connell, both examined the challenges of objectively evaluating the very subjective experience of pain especially while in the midst of it occuring. Looking at assumptions about meaning of the numbers on the most commonly used pain scale, or complications related to notion of "pushing through the pain", O'Connell shared a personal anecdote of his recovery in physical therapy and growing to understand it is okay to have pain limitations.
And that brings us to the close of Health Literacy month….until next year.

Peace, relaxation and enlightenment all rolled up into 75 amazing minutes.
Brain State
Floating is an amazing tool to achieve mental stillness, a state frequently sought through meditation. The practice often leaves people feeling very awake and relaxed. Your brain will cycle between Alpha and Theta brainwave patterns during a float session.
Due to our high functioning sympathetic nervous systems(SNS), our bodies produce a surprising amount of cortisol, the primary precursor to stress production in our brains. Having the SNS suppressed by the environment provided by a float tank allows for rest and relaxation like many have never experienced.
Dopamine & Endorphins
Due to the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system through floatation therapy, the body is flooded with endorphins and dopamine. Neurotransmitters responsible for pain relief, mood enhancement and a decrease in anxiety response.
The high concentration of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) leads to an abundance of this mineral being absorbed through our skin. Magnesium can regulate blood pressure, assist in detox and assist in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Pain Management
The environment provided by floatation therapy disperses the force generated by gravity and relieves various areas of the body of pressure and stress. Research shows that tank use has been linked to relief with arthritis, back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, bursitis, inflammation, blood pressure and psychosomatic pain relief have all been documented via tank use.
Floating increases circulation throughout the whole body. Greater muscle relaxation and an overall reduction in physical stress is achieved through floatation. Increased visual acuity, perception and other senses had notable increases after floating.

A select field of chasers will contest the Virbac Vetsearch Tasbred Maiden Final (452 metres) to be conducted at the NWGRC's meeting at the Devonport Raceway on Tuesday.
Five heats were conducted at yesterday's meeting, with the winners plus the three fastest second place-getters progressing to the rich finale.
Fastest heat winner was the impeccably bred She's All Class ( Dyna Lachlan – It's A She), which recorded a sizzling 25.91 in blitzing her rivals by six lengths and paying a dividend of $1.60.
The bitch is raced by Devonport's Leigh Alexander and prepared for him by master trainer David Crosswell, best known for his deeds with the former champions Highland Summer, True Vintage and Busy Vintage.
She's All Class was making her race-track debut, but was a huge street-corner tip after trialling brilliantly on several occasions.
The bitch has drawn the check box in next week's event and according to Crosswell is well suited from an inside draw.
"She has broken 8 seconds for her first split every time that I have trialled her and won from the white box yesterday, so I think that she will be a major contender again," he revealed.
"At this stage of her career she is as good as any greyhound that I have handled, so I believe she has a very bright future."
Second fastest qualifier was the Lynden Nichols prepared Amazing Milne (Give Me Five – Bluey Milne), which recorded 26.07 in winning his heat from the red box.
Also debuting, he smashed his rivals by five lengths while paying a tidy dividend of $4.40 and according to his trainer will benefit from the experience.
"He is still learning and had showed me plenty when trialling, but was inclined to be tardy from the boxes," he explained.
"He has improved in that regard in recent weeks and will be suited from the black box, but in saying that David Crosswell's bitch will take a power of beating."
The Birralee based Nichols has been enjoying a great run of success in recent weeks and also hopes to have the handy chaser Amazing Albert (Give Me Five – Mountain Brook) cherry ripe for the upcoming Minister's Gift Heats.
"Amazing Albert has been hindered by corns, but I am working on them and hope to have him right by next week," he said.
Another interesting Maiden Final heat winner was the Dale Hammersley prepared Rumbling Rick (Cosmic Rumble – Ricky's Angel), which recorded 26.09 in winning by nine lengths and paying $11.
Raced by non-other than Ricky Ponting, he is a half-relation to Devonport Raceway track specialist Rewind and had been impressive in several trials.

The granite mountains of the Cairngorms form a distinctive and internationally important landscape. Two recent studies provide new information to help develop Earth heritage interpretation and site management. The Cairngorm Mountains make up the largest continuous area of high ground above 1,000m in Britain and include most of the highest summits in Scotland. These mountains, with their distinctive plateau surfaces and glacially sculptured features, became part of Scotland's second National Park in 2003. They are also included in the UK Tentative List of World Heritage Sites for their exceptional landforms and geological history. In particular, the Cairngorms provide unique insights into the processes of mountain landscape evolution and environmental change in a maritime, mid-latitude setting in the northern hemisphere over the last 400 million years.

HOLYOKE – The owners of Mt. Tom Power Plant plan to lay off half the plant's 60-person staff including 16 or 17 employees from the 33-member unionized work force, according to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 455 in Springfield.
"How can you safely operate a coal fired power plant that is very labor intensive," said Brian E. Kenney, business manager and financial secretary. "Coal has to be loaded. I have no idea how they are going to do it and do it safely."
Kenney said five union positions were eliminated at the first of the year through retirement incentives. The station's owners, FirstLight Power Resources and GDF Suez North America had no comment Wednesday, according to an e-mail from spokesman Charles B. Burnham.
Kenney said First Light told him Tuesday that there is too little demand for electrical power in New England at the moment and the plant is not operating often enough to justify its present level of staffing. Mt. Tom is relatively expensive power and is only used when demand for electricity peaks.
"It's just not making the money that they need to make," Kenney said.
Coal is also a relatively expensive fuel compared with natural gas which is cleaner and is getting cheaper, said Clarence E. Kaye, a union maintenance mechanic at the plant. He estimated that the plant has been running only 25 percent of the time in recent months.
Kaye, 55, has worked at the plant for 29 years.
"Twenty years ago I never would have imagined that I wouldn't be able to retire from this plant," he said. "The power industry has changed a lot and it is hard for this facility to adapt."
One good sign, Kaye said he's spent the most recent plant shutdown cleaning and repairing equipment . He doubts the company would be paying him to do that if it planned to shut down Mt. Tom.
Kenney declined to say how much union workers at Mt. Tom are paid, but he said they are good jobs with benefits requiring extensive training and in some cases licenses to operate steam equipment.
Some union workers at Mt. Tom have been there as little as two or three years. Others have been there 30 years or more.
"It will be tough," he said. "Like everything else, demand for workers in the power industry is slack right now."
Built in 1960, Mt. Tom has a generating capacity of 146,000 kilowatts, or enough to meet the electrical demands of a city twice the size of Holyoke, according to First Light Power Resources and GDF Suez North America. It burns about 1,200 tons of coal daily.
From 2007 to 2009, First Light installed $55 million worth of air pollution-control equipment at the plant that Kenney said is labor intensive to operate. In 2007, Mount Tom Station was the second largest polluter in the state.
In July of 2011, First Light reached a settlement with the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office and agreed to install air-monitoring equipment, comply with more stringent air-quality standards and hire an outside consultant to correct persistent air pollution problems at the plant.
The First Light also agreed to pay a $25,000 penalty to the Commonwealth and $70,000 for a program educating owners of old wood stoves and wood-fired boilers in the greater Holyoke area.
Environmentalists who have been monitoring Mt. Tom for decades want the city of Holyoke to come up with a plan to re-use the site, said Andrew R. Grande, an organizer Sierra Club of Massachusetts. The group, AHH! or Action for a Healthy Holyoke, plant to bring the matter up at the Holyoke City Council meeting Tuesday, Oct. 19.
Salem has done a study for a power plant site in that city that is slated to close, Grande said.

The big labs I'm familiar with ran cine processors. They're continuous machines, preloaded with plastic leader material. You start up by tape-splicing the front of the film to the end of the leader. When you run out of film, you attach a roll of leader to the tail end of the film, so the machine automatically restrings itself with leader. Obviously this is only sensible if you have quite a lot of film. Our last machines ran 50 ft/min, so that 250-shot roll would only take about 40 seconds of machine time.
For smaller quantities, there were roller-transport machines, such as the Kodak Versamat. With these, you could attach the front end of a film roll to a stiff plastic card, which then "leads" the film through the processor. This is the same way modern mini-lab processors work. Your film could be essentially any length you want.
I know that large reels were available for manual-type processing, but never worked with that sort of thing (beyond standard Jobos)

John Seignelay COLBERT or CUTHBERT; (b.c. 1735, Castlehill, Invernessshire, Scotland); On 22 Apr 1781, he was consecrated Bishop Rodez Rovergue in France. bn1 This is supposedly the same man as Alexander CUTHBERT. See "J" Cuthbert Families of Scotland - Alexander Cuthbert, son of John Cuthbert jb
Notes |
bn1 Belfast Newsletter, 18-22 May 1781, p. 2. Under the heading of Dublinis found the following notice:
jb Jim Brennan Email: [jsbrennan at O2.co.uk] Last Contact: Dec 2008.
"A letter from Paris, dated April 30, says, 'On Sunday, the 22nd instant, John Seignelay COLBERT, or CUTHBERT, was consecrated Bishop Rodez Rovergue, by Stephen Charles Lomenie de Brienne, Archbishop of Toulouse, assisted by John de la Croix de Castries, Bishop of Vabres, and John Augustus de Chastenet de Puysequi, Bishop of Careassone(?), in the presence of a numerous assembly of persons of the first distinction in France, friends of the Bishop-elect, and of the principal nobility and gentry, British subjects, who were then in this city. This gentleman is the eldest son of the late Mr. COLBERT of Castlehill, in Invernessshire, in Scotland. He came to France at the age of fourteen years, and was placed by his uncle, a Roman Catholic clergyman, in the Scotch college at Paris, where he remained some years. He was afterwards in the college of Harcourt, and in both these colleges always distinguished himself by his good behaviour, and diligent application to his studies. He returned to the Scotch college, received priestly orders, was made Vicar-General in the diocese of Toulouse, and on account of his extraordinary parts and great merit, has been raised to the episcopal dignity, which very seldom happens to a foreigner in France. He is not only Bishop, but also Count of Rodez, and President of the States of Rovergue. He is, at present, about 46 years of age, of a very becoming appearance, and is endowed with a solid judgement, and a remarkable good heart.'"

Carnival Ecstasy Cruise Review by RFoscolo: First Time Cruiser - Observations

First Time Cruiser - Observations
We took our first ever cruise to the Bahamas on the Carnival Ecstacy Apr 18-22. Some of our expectations were exceeded and some were not met.
First the expectations that were exceeded. Both embarkation and debarkation went much smoother than we expected. We got on and off quickly. We had the porter take our 27 inch bags (2) into the ship but took our own bags off the ship. I will handle my own bags both ways in the future, as one of our bags took a couple of hours to get to our room getting on the ship.
The entertainment was great, not only the main shows Motor City and the Brits (both musical reviews), but also the secondary shows like the Hasbro Show and their show with the Newlywed Game format. The Cruise Director, Matt Mitchell, hosted those shows and was great. We also liked the karaoke shows near the Casino entrance in the late afternoon hosted by Kim. The Motown "name that song" contest hosted by Matt on the last night was great fun.
We went to More
four comedy shows, two by each comedian, Kim and Will. We enjoyed both of Will's shows a lot. Of Kim's two shows, we liked one, but the first one we went to was raunchy and not very funny.
We read several reviews from prior cruises that said the room cleaning was spotty. Ours was very good. Our steward, Izzy, was attentive and our room was spotless.
Food service in the dining room was very good. We got our meals promptly. This allowed us to get to the shows on time. If you want to see as many shows as possible get the 6pm dinner and tell your waiter you want to eat quickly in order to see the 7pm show.
The trip to Half Moon Cay was very good. There were hundreds of lounge chairs on the beach and lots of stuff to rent (snorkeling, sea-doos, kayaks), but it was a little too windy that day, so we just walked the island and shade-bathed. Definitely check it out.
We took the catamaran trip in Nassau. The boat trip was good, but the snorkeling was in the ocean which was somewhat rough.
The food was OK but not great, a disappointment. We ate breakfast at the buffet. I recommend the omelets and suggest you pass on the pancakes which were rubbery. It was good, but nothing special. We ate breakfast in the dining room once. It was slower and about the same quality, OK but not great.
We chose to eat lunches at the buffet. They had a lot of variety and the food was good. I tried the pizza once and it was OK. The sandwiches were pre-made, so we passed on them. The hot buffet has good variety and was good.
Dinner was both good and not so good. The main meal was very good. It was cooked properly and was hot. You couldn't make changes at all, but could order a second dinner plate if you wanted to try more than one. The appetizers and desserts were barely restaurant quality. I had a Caesar salad that was very small and twice had soup that was like something you would get at Olive Garden. I was expecting more.
All-in-all the trip was very good. It went smooth, the entertainment was great and the food was OK. We'll go again, but likely will try another cruise line. Less

Cabin review: 8EU144
We were on the 6th (U) floor, room U144. Steward was great. Room was perfect. Had window rather than porthole. Would recommend that as it let some natural light in the room. No sway at room level although seas weren't very windy
