Qaddafisms: Funnies from a career of theatrical moments
We had Bushisms from a leader who didn't mind embarassing his country and himself.
Now we bring you Qaddafisms from another shameless man who has had his share of (circus) moments of clowning around in the public arena and in the courts of propreity and protocol.
This man has flouted all the rules of decorum unabashedly, and has made some blooper lines of his own on the scale of Bush, that bring more than his IQ into question, but the need to bring his sanity into check !
We bring to you from our records:
1- Women have rights to stand in elections: whether they be male or female
2- O People...If there was no electricity, we'd be sitting down and watching TV in the dark!!
3- I am not a dictator to close facebook... But I will be arresting anyone who enters it!
4- Demonstrate all you want, but do not go to the streets and squares!!
5- Honoring one's parents is more important than obedience to your mother and your father
6- Democracy means demo 'chairs' (In Arabic 'cracy' sounds like the word for chairs plural 'Kraasee')
Hey, Moammar. I've heard of comedians stealing other comedians' material, but you've gone too far. On your currency (image 10), you've stolen my trademark pose! http://www.morningtalks.com/image/Jack_Benny_Statue.jpg
I'm coming back from the dead to sue your a**
I actually heard him explaining the roots of the word democracy in a documentary!
If only Qaddafi were just a clown; what he's doing now is atrocious.
I like number 6. And this slideshow is AMAZING!
Time to go big guy!

Grading teachers: Scores not reliable
All children deserve to have effective teachers. As a trustee of the San Diego Unified School District, my job is to cut through the ideological and political debates about what produces effective teaching and to focus on what actually works. My own experience as a classroom teacher confirms what the broad array of research from around the country and around the world points to as proven best practices in effective teaching. Collaboration, ongoing professional development and low class sizes work. Using standardized test scores to evaluate teachers, and threatening or bribing teachers based on such standardized test scores, does not in fact produce effective teaching or improved student learning.
I have the privilege of teaching middle school students at Granger Junior High School in National City, where I work with a wonderful team of colleagues that has produced amazing results over the last several years. The students at Granger overcome the challenges of poverty, disability and language to achieve. Granger is a National Turnaround School to Watch and a National Center for Urban School Transformation Finalist (NCUST).
Research shows, and our experience at Granger proves, that when teachers work together students learn more. Professional learning communities work in collaboration to help improve instructional practices and by using student data as a tool to support students, not punish teachers. Ranking teachers using their student test scores destroys such collaboration and pits teachers against one another as they try to score higher than their colleagues. Students should be able to attend any teacher's tutoring session after school or on Saturday if they need help or are below grade level.
Finland has a world-renowned public education system as a result of school reforms that have proved to increase student learning. Samuel Abrams, a visiting scholar at Columbia University, documented that Finland reduced class sizes (cap of 16 students in many sciences classes), boosted teacher pay and required all teachers to complete a rigorous master's program. Finland ended standardized testing, except for seniors in high school going to college. Finnish teachers also have more time to plan lessons and collaborate with colleagues. The teacher evaluation system relies upon a variety of measures – none of which include standardized test scores. We can learn from Finland's success.
The National Academy of Science clearly refutes using test scores to fire teachers when it concludes "VAM (value-added modeling) estimates of teacher effectiveness should not be used because such estimates are far too unstable to be considered fair or reliable."
The Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education found that ratings were unstable and unreliable with a margin of error as high as 50 percentile in English and 30 percentile in math. That means a teacher rated as "average" in the 40 percentile could be as high as 90 or low as 0 percentile. 90 is an "effective" teacher and 0 percentile would be and "ineffective" teacher.
Of 500 New York state principals surveyed, 73 percent said the "ineffective" label from test scores assigned to some of their teachers was not accurate and 81 percent felt the tool was limited or of no value in evaluating teachers.

Personal Note to Sam Harris:
Dear Sam,
Some questions for you:
1) Regarding your article in the subject Newsweek, How do you think God who created you, should respond to your smirking at Him?
2) As a pro-choice believer, how about if your Mom had decided you weren't really convenient for her at the time?
3) As an atheist what plans have you made when your conciousness leaves your physical body here on earth?

The Politics of Medicine
Forget the scientific method and curing disease. Modern medicine has taken on a new goal-social justice. Activists, scholars, and even medical professionals are increasingly mixing medicine with politics. According to Sally Satel, a psychiatrist and Yale University lecturer, this trend produces dangerous results.
In her new book PC, MD.: How Political Correctness is Corrupting Medicine (2000), Sally Satel exposes and documents her disturbing findings: former psychiatric patients calling themselves "the last minority" fight against antipsychotic medication, and crack-addicted women in South Carolina fight for their "freedom" to use cocaine during pregnancy. According to Satel, the new era of "postmodern medicine" has advanced these and other social movements. Satel criticizes the fashionable idea that "injustice produces disease and political empowerment is the cure." Such notions do not prevent illness, treat symptoms, or perfect clinical methods. Instead, they create distractions and waste money, often interfering with effective treatment.
Satel's criticism of politically correct medicine does not merely defend the status quo. She recognizes the need to address pressing problems in American health care by abandoning the search for social justice in favor of efforts to make everyone-regardless of race, sex, or class-better off.
Satel, one of America's leading critics of modern medicine, has published articles in numerous journals including the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, American Journal of Psychiatry, and Journal of the American Medical Association, as well as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, National Review and New Republic. Dr. Satel is a practicing psychiatrist at the Oasis Clinic and a lecturer at the Yale University School of Medicine. She is also a W.H. Brady Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
Sally Satel's talk is sponsored by the Henry Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.
The Great Elements and the Continuity of Life: Ecology in Hinduism and Jainism
Ancient India viewed the physical world in terms of a an ever-creative vortex comprised of earth, water, fire, and air emerging from, occupying, and dissolving into space. Intimacy with one's own self through meditation and ritual revealed cosmic connections between the microphase and macrophase aspects of human experience. Hindu and Jaina thinkers regarded life to be a continuous flow of interchanging bodies through various forms of manifestation. By techniques of purification one could ascend to increasingly rarefied states of consciousness that reveal this network of connections. The resulting lifestyle, rooted in vegetarianism and nonviolence toward all life forms, created a type of proto-ecology in ancient India that finds new expression in today's postmodern, rapidly industrializing India. In his lecture Chapple will survey ecological themes in ancient Hindu and Jaina literature and discuss some contemporary expressions of indigenous ecology in India, including the Chipko movement, the resistance to the Narmada Dam project, and the tradition of the sacred grove.
Christopher Key Chapple grew up in the western New York countryside. At the age of eighteen he joined Yoga Anand Ashram, a mediative community on Long Island, where he trained in classical Yoga for over twelve years. Simultaneously, he studied Tibetan and Sanskrit at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he majored in Comparative Literature and Religious Studies. He completed his doctorate at Fordharn University in New York City under the guidance of Thomas Berry, Jose Pereira, and John Chethimattam. For five years he served as Assistant Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies of World Religions at SUNY Stony Brook, where he also taught Sanskrit and Asian religions. In 1985 he joined the faculty of Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, where he currently serves as Professor of Theological Studies and Director of the Asian and Pacific Studies Program. Dr. Chapple has published ten books, including several on Indian thought. In the area of ecological studies, he has published Nonviolence to Animals, Earth, and Self in Asian Traditions (1993), Ecological Prospects (1994), Hinduism and Ecology (2000), and the forthcoming Jainism and Ecology (2001). The latter two volumes are being distributed by Harvard University Press as part of the activities of the Forum on Religion and Ecology, for which Dr. Chapple serves on the advisory board.
This lecture is third in a series funded by CMC alumnus, L.J. Kutten '74. A vegan dinner will be served.
Academic Honesty On Trial
CYNTHIA HUMES, moderator
Plagiarism has never been easier in an Internet world. Websites have proliferated offering papers on demand. New forms of cheating are boasted about in web chat rooms and bulletin boards. How does an honest student maintain academic integrity and what is in store for those who do not?
Join us for a town hall meeting in which Gary Gilbert, Professor of Religious Studies and a member of the Academic Standards Committee; P. Edward Haley; Professor of International Relations; Elizabeth Morgan; CMC Registar; and Sarah Baird, CMC senior and EEP (economics, environment, and politics) major, comment on the phenomenon of academic dishonesty and some of its ramifications. Cynthia Humes, Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Teaching Resource Center, will moderate the discussion.
Don't Ask, Don't Tell: A Soldier's Journey
Since graduating from CMC in 1993 with a double major in Psychology and PPE (Politics, Philosophy and Economics), Steve May has had a spectacular career: he is currently a second-term representative in the Arizona State Legislature, the Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer of his family's nutritional foods business and has served as a distinguished US Army Lieutenant. During his two years of active duty, May was considered one of the Army's brightest young officers and was one of the few soldiers in the world qualified as both a submariner and a paratrooper. After leaving the regular Army in 1995, May remained in the Army Reserves while he pursued his political vocation. However, these two careers were to come into direct conflict when Rep. May made references to his homosexuality (made public during his first campaign a year earlier) during a debate over a bill that forbade government agencies from offering fringe benefits to same-sex domestic partners.
The Army launched an investigation in April 1999 to determine whether May had violated the Army's "don't ask, don't tell" policy and should subsequently be given an Honorable Discharge from the Reserves. May's lawyers argued that his statements did not violate the military's policy because he made them not as a soldier, but as a civilian. Though the initial tribunal ruled in favor of the Army, May recently won on appeal and the Army has dropped the case entirely. May is the first soldier to have successfully challenged the military on this issue.
May is currently serving as the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Arizona House, and also serves on the Committees of Commerce and Economic Development, Public Institutions and Rural Affairs, and Financial Institutions and Insurance. In his Athenaeum address May will be discussing his views on the US Military's homosexual policy as well as his personal experience with it.
How America Has Become So Engaged in Korea: Limits of Its Influence
Does the United States really have a major stake in Korea? Why did an afterthought of Japan's defeat and occupation in 1945 become todays preoccupation where Korea is considered a critical aspect of out presence in East Asia? William H. Gleysteen, Jr., who was U.S. Ambassador to Korea during the Carter Administration, will discuss this transformation. Having been in Korea during President Park Chung Hee's assassination, Chun Doo Hwan's m ilitary coup, and the massive uprising in Kwangju, Gleysteen is particularly conscious of what he calls America's 'massive entanglement' and 'marginal influence.' In his Athenaeum lecture he will discuss what Americans now face in a changing Korea.
Ambassador Gleysteen is a distinguished specialist on East Asia. During his Foreign Service career he served as U.S. Ambassador to Korea (1978-81), Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia, and Senior Staff Member for East Asia in the National Security Council. In addition to Korea, he was posted abroad to Taiwan, Japan, and Hong Kong, and he was involved in normalization of U.S.-PRC relations under two successive Secretaries of State.
Born and raised in China, Gleysteen received a B.A. and M.A. from Yale University. He was President of the Japan society in New York (1989-95) and is currently a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. His highly acclaimed account of his Korean experience was recently published by the Brookings Institution Press under the title Massive Entanglement, Marginal Influence. Carter and Korea in Crisis (1999). Gleysteen is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and resides in Bethesda, Maryland.
Please join the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies for this interesting and informative event. Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. The talk begins at 12:15 p.m.
Ideology and Economic Change in Transition Countries
How did the beliefs of leaders determine the general direction of property reform and specific decisions within privatization in Eastern Europe? Where did the neoliberal beliefs that underpinned the choice to undertake a radical program of economic reform come from? Hilary Appel, professor of government at Claremont McKenna College, looks to the international diffusion of neoliberal ideology and its role in shaping postcommunist transition.
Having studied privatization as a doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvania, Appel has researched the political-economy of transition intensely, living more than two years in the region. Presently she is working on a book manuscript focusing on the role of ideology in the design of large-scale privatization in Eastern Europe and Russia. By examining privatization as an ideologically driven process, Appel hopes to challenge mainstream approaches in political-economy that focus on the economic interests of government and societal factors to explain the development of the property rights system. In her Athenaeum talk she will draw on her recent work and discuss the evolution and outcome of large-scale privatization in Russia and Eastern Europe.
Before joining the faculty of the Department of Government at Claremont McKenna College, Appel taught at Duke University and was a research scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center's Kerman Institute in Washington D.C. She has published numerous papers on postcommunist transition and given talks at several American and European Universities, the U.S. State Department, the Foreign Service Institute, and the Woodrow Wilson Center. Hilary Appel is the fourth speaker in a year long series at the Athenaeum featuring 'Faculty Ideas in Progress.'
Senior Recital
WENDY KAO '01, piano
MICHAEL DEANE LAMKIN, conductor, Claremont Concert Orchestra
It took CMC senior Wendy Kao five years to convince her mother to pay for piano lessons. Since that first lesson at age nine (when she confidently informed her instructor that the next note after "G" was "H") Kao has come a long way. Since coming to college, she has fostered her musical curiosity studying piano under Scripps College Music Department professors Dr. Hao Huang and Annie Lin. She has also studied piano with Janet Ho, Kai-li Peng, and May Hsieh. Although Kao is an economics-accounting major and maintains that piano is "just a hobby," in the past three years she has actively accompanied numerous chamber music ensembles, including the Claremont Concert Orchestra. She has also performed at the Athenaeum for Parent's Day receptions and awards banquets. Originally from Taipei, Taiwan, Kao is the publisher for the five-college newspaper Collage and enjoys mixed media art in her spare time.
For her Athenaeum recital, Kao will perform solo works by Beethoven, Ravel, and Rachmaninoff as well as a piano and orchestral work by Chopin with the Claremont Concert Orchestra conducted by Dr. Michael Deane Lamkin, Scripps Dean of Faculty.
Lamkin has conducted an annual concert series with the Claremont Concert Orchestra and Concert Choir, whose program has included Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Missa Solemnis, Haydn's Creation, and Mozart's Requiem and Mass in C. Lamkin is the Managing Director of the Classical Music Festival in Einsenstadt, Austria and is also a frequent guest conductor of opera, symphony, and choral concerts in Germany, Austria, and the United States.
The Coming Population Implosion
In the twentieth century, world population nearly quadrupled, leaping from approximately 1.6 billion in 1900 to more than 6 billion by the year 2000. While global numbers are set to increase, the pace of growth is sharply decelerating. For some parts of the world, numbers are set to peak and thereafter to decline. Social aging may be profound and pervasive. Most worrisome, significant reversals in health progress look to be in store for a large and growing share of humanity.
In his Athenaeum lecture, Nicholas Eberstadt will discuss these unexpected indications about our global demographic future. Eberstadt is the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute, and is a member of the Harvard University Center for Population and Development Studies.
Eberstadt's books include The End of North Korea (1999), The Tyranny of Numbers: Mismeasurement and Misrule (1995), and Prosperous Paupers (forthcoming). He has written for the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New Republic, and Atlantic Monthly, to name a few. He has appeared on NPR "Talk of the Nation" and "All Things Considered," as well as CNN, C-SPAN, ABC, and various Asian TV networks.
Nicholas Eberstadt's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Salvatori Center.
Reshaping Places: Examples From the Pacific Islands
Geography is perhaps the most underrated, or at least most misunderstood, science in practice- far more than maps and atlases, it is the study of "the surface of the earth, its division into continents and countries, and the climate, plants, animals, natural resources, inhabitants and industries of the various divisions [of the Earth]." Is there anything this subject does not cover?
Besides being one of the world's leading geographers, R. Gerard Ward currently serves as the President of the Pacific Science Association and as Emeritus Professor at the Australian National University. Ward was born in New Zealand and holds his B.A. and M.A. from the University of New Zealand and his doctorate from the University of London. From 1971 to 1998 he served as Professor of Human Geography at the Australian National University as well as its Director of the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies from 1980-1993. He has also served as Foundation Professor of Geography in the University of Papua New Guinea from 1967-71 and held posts at University College London and the University of Auckland. He has either edited, contributed to or written eleven books including American Activities in the Central Pacific 1790-1870 (8 volumes, Gregg Press, 1966-7), Man in the Pacific Islands (Clarendon Press, 1972), The Settlement of Polynesia: A Computer Simulation (University of Minesota Press, 1973), and Land Custom and Practice in the South Pacific (Cambridge University Press, 1995).
In his Athenaeum address, Professor Ward will discuss his current interest in the concepts of distance and isolation, how we put our own boundaries around places and how we use these perceptions in our everyday lives. This lecture is sponsored by the Roberts Environmental Center.

DEEP RUN — It wasn't thunder, it wasn't a quarry blast or an attempt to blow up beaver dams.
Seven seconds after Monday, the earth let loose thousands of years of tension in a 2.1 magnitude earthquake. The quake epicenter was within yards of the intersection of
The U.S. Geological Survey reported the quake came from approximately 3.1 miles underground.
Kay Lindorff was visiting her parents at a house near the epicenter.
"It was around , and I heard a boom and the house kind of shook," Lindorff said. "I thought maybe it was thunder or something exploded somewhere. But, that was basically it. I looked out the window and everything seemed to be OK, and I thought, 'That was weird.'"
Ashley Ledford lives in the area and thought it was a storm at first.
"I was just about to get out of the bed, and I heard what was like a thunder sound, and then I felt shaking — even the ceiling fan was making a noise," Ledford said.
And considering the mild nature of the quake, for some it didn't cause much concern.
"I thought it was thunder, so I rolled over and went back to bed," area resident Vicki Wessell said.

At the start of May 2009 we announced we were working on a new approach to joint compilation for mixed Java/Groovy projects in Eclipse. We are pleased to now announce the final release of Groovy-Eclipse v2.0.0, based on that new technology. During the months of development we have rebased (and almost entirely rewritten) version 1 of the Groovy-Eclipse plugin, with the goal of offering first class Groovy support in the Eclipse IDE, comparable to the experience Java developers have in Eclipse. The driving themes for version 2.0.0 have always been to optimize around the common developer actions of editing, building, running and testing code:
- Edit We have an advanced inferencing engine and extensible content assist enabling us to provide highly accurate contextual aware editor suggestions. Task tags, javadoc hovers and even cross-language refactoring is also supported.
- Build As well as a 'stub-less' incremental joint compilation process, we use a modified groovy parser that is more recoverable than the standard parser - enabling us to be more stable in the face of partially correct code.
- Run Launching (and debugging) of applications or scripts is supported - even for code using transforms such as @Grab
- Test The plugin fully integrates with the JUnit support available in Eclipse.
More information on all these features can be found in the New and Noteworthy for the milestones and release candidates leading up to this release:
- Groovy-Eclipse 2.0.0M1 New and Noteworthy
- Groovy-Eclipse 2.0.0M2 New and Noteworthy
- Groovy-Eclipse 2.0.0RC1 New and Noteworthy
To install 2.0.0 into Eclipse 3.5, you can update from the milestone update site you may already be using or define the following release URL to your Eclipse update manager:
Some of the features we will be working on in the near term:
- Eclipse 3.6 support
- Better debugging experience
- Simpler user extensible content assist
- Picking up the latest Groovy 1.6/1.7 and later compiler versions
You can find more details on the Groovy-Eclipse Roadmap, where you can comment on proposed features and see our release schedule.

Meadowdale softball drops semifinal game to Kamiakin
Mavs play Juanita at 11 a.m. in loser-out game
But Meadowdale couldn't capitalize, falling to the Braves 2-1 Saturday morning at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey.
After the first two batters popped out, the Mavericks loaded the bases in the seventh inning, causing Kamiakin to bring in new pitcher Jessica Edminster. Edminster got the next Meadowdale batter to strike out, ending the game and sending the Braves to the 3A state championship.
Meadowdale will play Juanita, 3-2 winners over Shorecrest Saturday morning, at 11 a.m. in a loser-out game. The winner of that game clinches a spot in the third-fourth place game, and will take home a trophy.
The Mavericks struck first when Alyssa Reuble hit an RBI groundout that scored Meadowdale leadoff hitter Tiffany DeWayne.
However, Meadowdale managed just three hits the rest of the way.
Kamiakin, which only had three hits off Reuble in the game, scored one in the top of the third inning on a solo home run by Tawny Becker. The Braves added the eventual game-winning run on a sacrifice fly by Carlie Richards one inning later.
At Regional Athletic Complex
Kamiakin 001 100 0 – 2 3 1
Meadowdale 100 000 0 – 1 4 1
Kate Austin, Jessica Edminster (7) and Tawny Becker. Alyssa Reuble and Rebecca Wright. WP–Austin. LP–Reuble. S–Edminster. 2B–Melanie Oord (K). HR–Becker (K). Records–Kamiakin not reported. Meadowdale 22-3.

Diabetes Dateline
Winter 2011
Administration Announces Regulations Requiring New Health Insurance Plans to Provide Free Preventive Care
The U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Labor, and the Treasury issued new regulations in July requiring new private health plans to cover evidence-based preventive services and eliminate cost-sharing requirements for such services. The new rules will help Americans gain easier access to services such as blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol tests; many cancer screenings; routine vaccinations; prenatal care; and regular wellness visits for infants and children.
"Today, too many Americans do not get the high-quality preventive care they need to stay healthy, avoid or delay the onset of disease, lead productive lives, and reduce health care costs," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "From the Recovery Act to the First Lady's Let's Move Campaign to the Affordable Care Act, the Administration is laying the foundation to help transform the health care system from a system that focuses on treating the sick to a system that focuses on keeping every American healthy."
Chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, are responsible for seven of 10 deaths among Americans each year and account for 75 percent of the nation's health spending—and often are preventable. Nationally, Americans use preventive services at about half the recommended rate. An estimated 11 million children and 59 million adults have private insurance that does not adequately cover immunization, for instance. Studies have shown that cost sharing, including deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments, reduces the likelihood that people will use preventive services.
"Getting access to early care and screenings will go a long way in preventing chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure," said First Lady Michelle Obama. "And good [preventive] care will also help tackle an issue that is particularly important to me as First Lady and as a mother—and that is the epidemic of childhood obesity in America today. These are important tools, and now it's up to us to use them."
"One of the best ways to improve the quality of your life—and control health care costs—is to prevent illness in the first place," said Second Lady Jill Biden. "Focusing on prevention and early treatment makes more sense than trying to play catch-up with a potentially deadly disease. Quite simply, these [preventive] services will save lives."
Under the recently issued regulations, new health plans beginning on or after September 23, 2010, must cover preventive services that have strong scientific evidence of their health benefits, and these plans may no longer charge a patient a copayment, coinsurance, or deductible for these services when they are delivered by a network provider. Specifically, these recommendations include the following:
- Evidence-based preventive services. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent panel of scientific experts, rates preventive services based on the strength of the scientific evidence documenting their benefits. Preventive services with a "grade" of A or B—such as tobacco cessation counseling and screenings for breast and colon cancer, vitamin deficiencies during pregnancy, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure—will be covered under these rules.
- Routine vaccines. Health plans will cover a set of standard vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Such vaccines range from routine childhood immunizations to periodic tetanus shots for adults.
- Preventive care for children. Health plans will cover preventive care for children recommended under the Bright Futures guidelines, developed by the Health Resources and Services Administration with the American Academy of Pediatrics. These guidelines provide pediatricians and other health care professionals with recommendations on the services they should provide to children from birth to age 21 to keep them healthy and improve their chances of becoming healthy adults. The types of services that will be covered include regular pediatrician visits, vision and hearing screenings, developmental assessments, immunizations, and screening and counseling to address obesity and help children maintain a healthy weight.
- Preventive care for women. Health plans will cover preventive care provided to women under both the Task Force recommendations and new guidelines being developed by an independent group of experts, including doctors, nurses, and scientists, which are expected to be issued by August 1, 2011.
The regulations can be found at www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/HIPAA-Administrative-Simplification/Affordable-Care-Act/index.html.

TomTom launches "TomTom Rider" - a new navigation device for bikers

TomTom launches "TomTom Rider" - a new navigation device for bikers
Customised device gives bikers the freedom to choose the way they want to ride
London, 14 February 2013 – TomTom today introduces a brand new version of its TomTom Rider, a portable navigation device created especially for bikers. Following feedback from the motorcyclist community, TomTom Rider has been designed to give bikers the ability to choose the type of route they want to ride: from the fastest; to the most scenic; to their own personalised route.
Bikers can easily create and then upload their personalised routes direct to their TomTom Rider device. By downloading Tyre® interactive software, bikers can search, create and edit their own routes on a PC. Alternatively, a unique 'Upload Routes and Go' feature enables bikers to upload routes directly to their device and share them with other bikers via Bluetooth®.
"With TomTom Rider, bikers can not only choose where to go, but more importantly how they want to get there,"said Corinne Vigreux, Managing Director of TomTom Consumer."We listened to feedback from motorbike communities to create a device that was customised for the way they want to ride. We found that the overwhelming majority of bikers use their motorcycle for recreational purposes and many actively seek out routes that offer fantastic scenic touring experiences. TomTom Rider gives bikers the ability to find and ride the best scenic routes in the world."
In addition, TomTom Rider includes a feature that feeds audio instructions directly to the user's helmet via Bluetooth®, meaning riders can fully concentrate on the road ahead. The device also includes the introduction of a new 4.3'' glove-friendly screen, which responds instantly to touch and is designed for riding in any weather conditions, including rain or bright sunlight. The device also comes with a new charging bike dock that turns it on or off with the ignition of the bike.

Los Angeles, CA
"You just missed Phil Jackson."
Tom smiled widely standing in the front lounge of his tour bus, the kind of perma-grin all true Lakers fans have upon meeting the legendary basketball coach that brought five championship trophies to Tinsel Town. Eleven Rings, Jackson's new book, lay on a nearby table, autographed to Tom by the Zen Master.
Whether Jackson's vist influenced the night's performance or not, no one will ever really know, but Tom and the guys seemed especially strong on Tuesday night, the second show of this West Coast residency at the Fonda. Tuesday seemed blueser than Monday, with "Baby Please Don't Go" and "I Just Want To Make Love To You" plugged in early in the set. The band paid tribute to J.J. Cale with a great run at "I'd Like To Love You Baby," but it was the acoustic segment of the show - "Rebels," "Two Gunslingers," "Time To Move On" and "Friend of the Devil," sandwiched in between a spaced-out "Tweeter And The Monkey Man" and a killer "It's Good To Be King" - that really made the night tonight. "Rebels" continues to shine in its acoustic re-arrangement and "Time To Move On" seemed to segue beautifully into "Friend of the Devil."
Back at the Fonda tonight! Keep checking back for more from the 2013 Summer Tour!

Logitech VIP Store - Refurb Harmony 900 - 139.99 or One - 99.99 w/FREE shipping
m/store/log...nch_05111 1
I don't know why - but my post keeps getting its line breaks removed - making it look like I wrote one super long line. Hoping that using bullets fixes it.
- The Logitech VIP Store currently has the Harmony 900 for $139.99 and Harmony One for $99.99
- The Harmony 900 Refurb is normally $219 from the Logitech store and has been $159.99 with coupon on occasion.
- The Harmony One can be bought new from Costco right now for $109.99 if you have a Costco membership this is probably a better deal for a brand new remote with Costco's great return policy.
- This had been previously posted but has been out of stock in the VIP Store.
- I'd been waiting for a good deal on the Harmony 900 for awhile.
- BTW- I already own a Harmony 900 - it is a great remote if you need RF. The One is better if you don't need RF capability in your remote since it has sequences (button macros) and is cheaper. I previously owned the Harmony 880 and 890 and they are both great remotes, but the 900 feels faster has a much higher resolution screen and compared to the 890 - the 900 doesn't require you to plug the RF Receiver into your computer each time to program it, on the 900 the RF Receiver is programmed via RF by the remote itself. Overall I've been really happy with the 900, other than of course the missing sequences. You can find out a lot more about it by doing a quick Google search or reading the Harmony 900 thread over on avsforum.com
- To get into the Logitech VIP store, you must have previously purchased something from the logitech.com store - simply use your login/password for logitech.com to login to the VIP store.
- For those without VIP status, you might be able to get it using a trick found here (thanks to blackrain for the original post and links):
39512841&postco unt=16
- This had been previously posted but has been out of stock in the VIP Store.
- UPDATE: Just received a 10% coupon to the Logitech VIP store until 11/5, bringing the price DOWN to 125.99 for the Harmony 900 and 89.99 for the Harmony One! Code maybe unique - check your email.
- For those that already ordered, try calling 1-800-231-7717 from Monday - Friday, 6:00am - 6:00pm PST and Saturday - Sunday, 7:00am to 5:00pm PST and asking for the difference!

Yellow Fever Vaccination
Do you need vaccinations before traveling abroad?
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel, Jr, MD, FACP, FACR
Travelers to other countries often face health issues they wouldn't ordinarily experience at home. To minimize your risks of becoming seriously ill when traveling abroad, you should find out in advance whether any specific immunizations may be recommended for travel to the region of the world you'll be visiting. It's also a good time to review your own immunization history.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC), it's best to schedule a visit to your doctor or travel medicineclinic 4-6 weeks before an international trip. Since your body needs time to build up immunity after receiving a vaccine and many vaccines are given in a series over time, getting an early start on your immunizations is the best way to protect yourself. Even if you are making a last-minute trip or plan to leave in less than four weeks, you should still check with your doctor to see if any vaccines or preventive medications might be recommended.
The CDC divides travel vaccinations into three categories: routine, recommended, and required. The only vaccine classified as "required" by International Health Regulations is the yellow fever vaccinationfor travel to certain countries in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America.

Arizona Diamondbacks
ESPN insider: 'If I were a D-backs fan' I'd hate the Justin Upton trade
After nearly three years of trade rumors, two-time All-Star Justin Upton was finally dealt by the Arizona Diamondbacks in a seven-player deal with the Atlanta Braves Thursday.
By now, just about everyone on both sides of the trade has had a chance to digest the news and evaluate whether or not their team on paper got the better end of the deal.
While the D-backs netted former All-Star Martin Prado, 22-year-old starting pitcher Randall Delgado and three prospects (Nike Ahmed, Zeke Spruill and Brandon Drury), one ESPN MLB insider thinks fans in the Valley ought to be disappointed with the Braves' package.
When asked by Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf if Arizona fans should hate Thursday's blockbuster trade, Keith Law didn't flinch.
"Yeah if I were a D-backs fan absolutely," Law said. "They didn't get nearly enough in return."
Although general manager Kevin Towers gushed about the addition of Prado on Doug & Wolf earlier in the day -- referring to him as a grinder and a good clubhouse presence -- Law, who previously worked in the Toronto Blue Jays front office from 2002-2006, said that rarely should a deal be made on projected chemistry.
"My whole attitude on let's just say intangibles in general, if you can't measure them then you can't value them and you can't pay for them," said Law.
"The great middle here is the good clubhouse guy and the bad clubhouse guy. My answer has always been the same, it was the same when I was in the front office and it's the same now. How much is that worth?"
In the case of Upton, Law believes the issue is more or less irrelevant. After all, he points out that the right fielder's worth was only questioned after he struggled to put up power numbers in 2012.
Last season, Upton was expected to be an MVP candidate in the National League, but hit just .280 with 17 home runs, 67 RBI and 107 runs scored.
So following the trade, which Upton does Law expect we'll likely see in the coming years: the 2011 MVP candidate (.288 batting average, 31 home runs and 88 RBI) or the 2012 underachiever?
"I think he got close (to his potential) two seasons ago," said Law. "And I would love to go back and have a do-over of the 2012 season where he doesn't hurt his thumb like he did against (the Giants). Because if you look at his performance in 2012 it had quite a bit in common with the year before.
"He hit for similar average, similar on-base percentage. What was gone was all the power. And I think he did try to make some adjustments for the worst."
While Law admitted that it's probably too early to speculate on which team got the most out of the deal, he believes the D-backs sold themselves short in their underselling of Upton.
"Here, I don't think the (D-backs) got near enough," said Law. "It may be that they just ran him down so much. Or, it may be also be because they're looking at him and saying 'He's never going to be the 2011 version again, not here, not in this environment and not the way we are trying to construct this club.'"
Although Towers and Co. might not have envisioned Upton reaching his superstar potential in a D-backs uniform, Law said he projects that the 25-year-old has all of the tools to get there in Atlanta.
"I think he's going to be back where he was two years ago if not better," said Law. "Where he's playing great defense, he's hitting 30-plus home runs, he's getting on base to the .360 or .370 clip, maybe even a little more and ending up on MVP ballots.
"He may not be the best player in the league at any specific point, but my bet is he's in that discussion when we're talking about the top five or six position players in the National League."

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, October 20, 12:21 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Dudley Field (40,550) -- Nashville, Tennessee. Television: SEC Network, MSG, Altitude. Home Record: Auburn 0-0, Vanderbilt 0-0. Away Record: Auburn 0-0, Vanderbilt 0-0. Neutral Record: Auburn 0-0, Vanderbilt 0-0. Conference Record: Auburn 0-4, Vanderbilt 1-3. Series Record: Series is tied, 20-20-1.
GAME NOTES: The Auburn Tigers continue their search for their first SEC win of the season on Saturday afternoon when they head to Nashville to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores.
With losses in five of its first six games, Auburn is off to its worst start since 1998, a year when it finished 3-8 overall and 1-7 in conference play. The Tigers dropped a conference matchup to Ole Miss last week, 41-20, which snapped the Rebels' 16-game SEC losing streak.
Vanderbilt has not performed much better, although it can make claim to a conference victory, defeating Missouri on the road on Oct. 6, 19-15. The Commodores have been a victim of a brutal early-season schedule, losing three games to nationally-ranked foes South Carolina (17-13), Georgia (48-3) and Florida (31-17).
After 41 all-time meetings, the series between Auburn and Vanderbilt is tied, 20-20-1, although the Tigers have had the upper hand in recent years, winning 13 of the last 14 matchups.
Auburn has the worst offense in the SEC, ranking last in both points per game (16.2) and yards per game (287.5), and it converts just 29.9 percent of its third downs.
Most of the offensive struggles can be explained by poor quarterback play. Kiehl Frazier started the first five games but was dreadful, completing less than 55 percent of his passes for 664 yards with just two touchdowns to eight interceptions. Clint Moseley started in his place last week but was inefficient as well (11-of-18, 112 yards, INT).
Emory Blake is the only receiver that has made a significant impact this season, leading the team in receptions (26), yards (378) and touchdowns (two). No other player averages more than 24 receiving yards per game.
The Tigers' rushing attack has been the one silver lining for the offense, as Tre Mason (389 yards, three TDs), Onterio McCalebb (293 yards, two TDs), and Mike Blakely (114 yards) all average more than five yards per carry. However, 19 sacks of Frazier and Moseley have hurt the team's overall rushing production (3.4 ypc).
Auburn's defense (26.5 ppg) hasn't played well, but at least it's been an improvement on last year's effort (28.9 ppg). The unit tends to tighten up in the red zone, allowing teams to score touchdowns on less than 50 percent of its trips inside the 20-yard line (12-of-25).
Daren Bates is the conference's top tackler (11.7 per game), and he is well on his way to a career year with 70 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery. Corey Lemonier is the team's best pass rusher with five sacks and another eight QB hurries.
Vanderbilt has faced some of the toughest defenses in the country through its first six games, and because of that its offensive numbers have suffered (20.5 ppg, 365.7 ypg).
Jordan Rodgers has been erratic under center. He has thrown for 213.6 yards per game, but his completion percentage is poor (.552) and he has just three touchdowns against two interceptions. Rodgers is coming off a strong performance against Florida however, with a season-high 237 yards and a score.
Rodgers targets Jordan Matthews the most, as he is second in the SEC with 43 catches and 617 yards. With opposing defenses shifting most of their focus to Matthews, Chris Boyd (19 catches, 405 yards) is often open for big plays. Boyd's 21.3 yards per catch is tops in the league among receivers with at least 13 catches.
Although Zac Stacy is on pace to fall short of his record-setting season last year (1,193 rushing yards), he has still been plenty productive with 499 yards and four touchdowns on 99 carries.
The defense (22.3 ppg) has kept the Commodores in most of their games. The pass defense has been especially stout, allowing fewer than 150 yards per game.
Kenny Ladler (42 tackles, sack, INT) and Chase Garnham (38 tackles, 3.5 TFL, two sacks) are the unit's top playmakers. The team has 28 passes defended, but it has only recorded two interceptions.
Auburn is a team in disarray right now, and without a viable option at the quarterback position, things aren't likely to change any time soon. Vanderbilt has been anything but spectacular, but if it can run the ball effectively with Stacy and continue to play solid defense, it should be able to prevail at home against the reeling Tigers.

In late March, the ASPCA played a critical role in a three-state dog fighting raid that resulted in the rescue of nearly 100 animals. A few weeks after this intricately coordinated effort to rescue dogs in Texas, Missouri and Kansas went off without a hitch, we're able to update you on the dogs and the dog fighters.
The Victims
When we found these dogs, many were doomed to live their whole lives tethered by heavy chains—and on the day of the raid, many were left outside to suffer through a blizzard. Now, says ASPCA Vice President of Field Investigations and Response Tim Rickey, they're living in an entirely different world.
When the dogs arrived at our temporary shelter, our veterinary professionals, led by the ASPCA's Dr. Sarah Kirk, examined them quickly and thoroughly. Some dogs needed immediate care, while others require ongoing treatment which they are now receiving from ASPCA and local veterinarians.
An ASPCA behaviorist will be on the ground at the shelter throughout this operation, and while the dogs stay in our clean and spacious shelter, they will benefit from behavioral enrichment programs that incorporate toys, games and lots of fun interactions with people. The dogs will have regular access to one of several large exercise playpens, where they'll get to play with our responders and burn off excess doggy energy.
"Every day," Rickey says, "we're focusing on taking care of these animals and providing the best environment that we can for them."
The Suspects
The ASPCA continues to work to collect evidence and provide other support to law enforcement, working to ensure dog fighters pay for harming these animal victims. The charges are just starting to roll in:
Last week Pete Davis Jr. and Melvin L. Robinson, both of Kansas City, Kansas, were each charged in federal court with one count of transporting animals for participation in an animal fighting venture in interstate commerce. If convicted, they face up to five years in federal prison and a possible fine of up to $250,000.
"The case is not over yet—there's still a lot of work to be done on the investigation side," says Rickey, adding that he hopes to see more arrests in relation to this raid.
The ASPCA had been assisting the FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies with the planning of this large-scale raid since November 2012. ASPCA Blood Sports Director Terry Mills provided his expertise to help these agencies maximize the operation's impact. Our next steps: continuing to provide top-notch care for these animals and working with authorities to secure the right to place dogs in loving homes.
If you've given to the ASPCA recently, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. This raid is an enormous undertaking and a huge commitment, but we are dedicated to being there for animal victims of cruelty whenever they need us. If you haven't yet given lately, please consider doing so today. On behalf of animals across the country, thank you!
It seems to me that the human aspect of dog fighting has been ignored.The ASPCA was founded to protect humans who were abused.History tells us that animal abusers often graduate to abusing humans.There was and is a severe and dangerous precident to consider.whether you love animals or not does not matter.(I am a pit bull parent).We need to think long and hard about the risks these people pose to the public.Long prison terms and large fines are merely a start.The government wastes our money everyday.These abusers need to be handled appropriately for their lifetime.The life of an animal may be saved and moe importantly the life of a fellow human may be spared as well
I hope they get the maximum sentence allowed by law....
Hallelujah! Put these perverted clowns behind bars forever.
let the punishment fit the crime...sentence these humans to be the target of a dog fight...
My heart bleeds whenever I read of these terrible acts of dog fighting and know how much pain an suffering they cause. However, our society which seems to forgive these terrible acts with minimal fines and jail sentences, also must change and not forgive these monsters who fight dogs (or any animals for that matter). See Michael Vick's return to NFL glory as evidence that we don't take this seriously enough. As a very public example he should have been shunned from society and banned from professional sports for his former acts for life.
These men are not fit to live, if they can do this to helpless animals how far off are they from abusing children...not a very far leap. I believe in an eye for an eye. I agree with the person who suggested placing them outside in a blizzard with little or no protection tied up by chains. I also agree with the idea that they get punished for each dog hurt, say 5 to 10 years for each dog depending on the injuries or if death occured. How do we start a petition to get this law changed...because only when the punishment gets greater will this horrific so called sport be a real crime.
I too hope that these fur babies get a chance at new lives, lives that include treats, long walks in the sun, comfy couches and love, love. love!!!!
should take all people in this fighting ring fight them to the death, then kill the one that lives, they are breathing air that good people can use, they are all worthless to people that are good kind and loves animals, next will be their kids, wives, and elderly family members . kill them all now before this keeps going
This is horrific. The punishment certainly does not fit the crime. We need to be stricter with these individuals, as these animals do not have a say and are victimized just like people for various crimes. We do not tolerate that behavior, and sometimes the Death Penalty applys. I believe this should be the case. Many of these animals to not make it and have no chance at a forever home in the future due to the abuse.
Thank you for all of your help. I am one of your biggest supporters.
Throw the book at them and put a chain around their necks....no cell to live outside in all types of weather and to survive on their own for food.
As I write this with tiers in my eyes for tne joy of these wonderful animals safety but also for the disappointment of not enough punishment for the guilty people. I have been a supporter for years and commend all at ASPCA, for all they do. These people should get much more time, keep them out of society.

Just got them in and they are beautiful!! I'd especially like to mention the AWESOME designers!! They worked with me and got me about a billion proofs until I had EXACTLY what I wanted. I changed the entire back side of all my cards, and they were so helpful!!
Prompt Shipping and Beautiful Card
I am truly impressed with the timing that everything was sent and how lovely the invitations came. I love the idea of the cute box with the invitations neatly stacked. As far as the design of the invitation, it was easy to do and the colors that I needed were right there. My theme for my wedding is live laugh love and I couldn't find a nice invitation to use anywhere until I found Magnet Street. Thank you again and as a wedding and event coordinator, I will be recommending this site to everyone I know.
Great find!
My fiance and I first ordered our save the date magnets and loved them! After I submitted our design, I was contacted saying that after 1 was printed some of the writing was not easily readable based on my font color. She suggested a change and it was great. We decided to go with magnetstreet for our invitations as well. We fell in love with the modern square layout and were able to customize it perfectly. Compared to other on-line retailers, these invitations were reasonably priced, shipped quickly and are great quality. I will definitely be ordering our "thank you" cards with magnetstreet!

Zachary Quinto Drives Us Crazy on 'American Horror Story: Asylum' – The Daily Swoon
You know, we'd be totally okay getting locked up in a loony bin if we could spend some quality time with Zachary Quinto, who plays the sinister Dr. Thredson on 'American Horror Story: Asylum.'
You may recognize Zachary as the evil (then good, then evil again) Sylar from the show 'Heroes,' which ended a few years back, or as Spock in the new 'Star Trek' movies — a Vulcan who goes against his cold and logical race by having feeeeeeelings. Even with those pointy ears, we're still into it.
Quinto returned to 'American Horror Story' for its second season, set in an insane asylum, where he plays a serial killer masquerading as a therapist. And we know that's bad news, but have you seen him in those vintage-style glasses? Because guys, he makes creepy look totally sexy.
Unfortunately for the ladies, Quinto is gay, but that doesn't stop us from admiring his handsomeness and appreciating those gorgeous eyebrows. Who doesn't love a man with a good manicured brow?
Check out some photos of Quinto below, looking all sophisticated-sexy — it's like he was created in a lab by men's magazines for the sole purpose of making us swoon. So unfair.

HAVELOCK — The Havelock Fire and Rescue Department is out to set a new record.
"We are doing the Brave Enough to Wear Pink Campaign for the fourth year now," said Charlie Winter, a department firefighter and paramedic leading this year's effort to raise money for breast cancer awareness and support. "We're out to beat last year's record."
They have a high bar. During last year's campaign, 1,200 pink T-shirts were sold and $10,400 was raised to donate to the Havelock Fire and Rescue Department Cancer Care Fund managed by the CarolinaEast Foundation.
"We've got a long ways to go, but we can do it, though," Winter said Tuesday as the drive officially kicked off. "We're starting a little bit earlier this year because of the demand from last year."
Winter said a combination of shirt design, community support and untiring effort by the fire department has led to high sales of the shirts in the past.
"I think it's everything put together," Winter said. "Everyone in the country has known somebody who has been hurt or affected, or knows somebody who has been lost or has dealt with cancer."
This year's shirts feature a Dalmatian in a firefighter's hat with the phrase "Brave Enough to Wear Pink." It was designed based on a theme by department members, including Capt. Tom Dorn and firefighter/paramedic Scott Dorsett.
This year the department is also selling hats along with the T-shirts. The cost is $20 for each and they are available by calling 444-6443 or visiting the Havelock West End Fire Station on U.S. 70 at the entrance to Tucker Creek. Residents can also visit the department's Facebook page.
In a separate breast cancer awareness fundraiser, Havelock's firefighters are joining with CarolinaEast to create a Pink Glove Dance Video for a competition sponsored by MEDLINE. The company manufactures pink rubber gloves that were worn in a video made Tuesday with members of the fire department. The winner of the video competition will receive a $25,000 donation to the charity of their choice.
"We chose Havelock Fire and Rescue because they have been so supportive of our foundation," said Megan McGarvey, with CarolinaEast Medical Center. "They do the Brave Enough to Wear Pink and they sell the T-shirts and the proceeds actually come back to the CarolinaEast Foundation for our breast cancer research and education, so we thought that this was a perfect opportunity to partner and show Havelock Fire and Rescue how much we appreciate their ongoing support."
The 90-second video will be submitted Oct. 4 to the competition, and the voting starts Oct. 28 and continues for two weeks.
"It's one vote, per person for Facebook," McGarvey said. "We're really going to depend on the community for those votes. Whoever gets the most votes also gets $25,000 to go to the charity of their choice."
The dance competition proceeds will be going to the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Is Dual Agency in Real Estate a Cause for Concern?
2014, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics
Jeff Prince, Vrinda Kadiyali, Daniel Simon
We examine the effects of the regulation of dual agency in residential real estate transactions, for 10,888 transactions in Long Island, New York in 2004-2007. We find that dual agency has an overall null effect on sale price, but includes two opposing forces where buyer and seller interests might be compromised. The link between dual agency and timing of sales is less clear. These findings are robust to endogeneity bias. Although it appears dual agency does cause some market distortions, our analysis yields little evidence that prohibiting dual agency in real estate will increase welfare.
Prince, Jeff, Vrinda Kadiyali and Daniel Simon (2014), "Is Dual Agency in Real Estate a Cause for Concern?" Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, 48(1): 164-195.

Club competitions
National team competitions
France captain and Pamesa Valencia player Antoine Rigaudeau has decided to call it quits.
Rigaudeau came out of international retirement to help the French team capture the bronze medal at EuroBasket 2005, which they accomplished on Sunday by beating Spain in Belgrade.
France coach Claude Bergeaud fears it will be difficult to recreate the team spirit engendered by his side during the recent EuroBasket 2005.
Les Bleus recovered from an indifferent start to the competition, which saw them lose to Greece and Slovenia in the group stage, to oust host nation Serbia & Montenegro and defending champions Lithuania.
After 46 years, the French basketball team can finally return home from a EuroBasket with some hardware.
Tony Parker was magnificent with 25 points and five assists, Mickael Pietrus added 23 and France crushed Spain 98-63 to win bronze at the 2005 EuroBasket and bring home the country's first medal in the competition since 1959.
France and Spain both wanted to put last night's semi-final heartbreaks behind them to at least salvage a bronze medal.
But it seemed only France was able to get over the defeat of the previous night as they thrashed Spain 98-68 to earn their first medal in the European Championships since 1959.

|Frontline Staff Members Share Strategies and Successes at Patient Care Practice Council
The best patient care is built on teamwork, collaboration, evidence-based practice and shared governance-and all of
"The Council provides a voice so that frontline staff can be heard," explains Pepper (Vicki) Haywood, RN, a staff nurse in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit and the current PCPC chair. "We've experienced increased attendance over the past year, and the great work that has come out of the Council during this period has helped us be a driving voice for changes in clinical practice. There has been a shift of focus so that frontline staff and educators attend Council meetings each month and administrators attend on a quarterly basis. The collaboration among frontline staff has led to several practice changes, such as a new standard for tracheostomy care all developed through interdisciplinary cooperation and evidence-based research and practice."
One of the Council's key goals for 2012 is to nurture the growth and development of the Unit Based Practice Councils (UBPC's). There are UBPC's on each inpatient unit as well as for the Emergency Center, the Vascular Access Team and Perioperative Services. The Council already has members who represent outpatient care areas and plans to strengthen outpatient representation this year through creation of an Outpatient Council.
"Our Patient Care Practice Council provides an excellent forum to discuss practice issues that impact care at the bedside," says co-chair Janeane Walker, MSN, RN, Advanced Education Specialist in the Clinical Education and Research Department. "It is a perfect place to engage frontline staff to start asking those important clinical questions. We encourage and challenge our members to utilize and incorporate evidence-based practice. The beauty of our Council at All Children's Hospital is that it is collaborative, for our team includes not only nurses, but representatives from rehab services, respiratory care, pharmacy, child life, case management and other programs, reflecting our multidisciplinary approach to care."
The next Patient Care Practice Council meeting will be held Monday, April 9th from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in OCC A&B. Interested employees are invited to attend.

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University softball team kept its Mid-American Tournament hopes alive with a split against Eastern Michigan on Friday. The RedHawks dropped the opener, 5-3. They came back to earn a dramatic, 3-2, victory in nine innings in the nightcap. Miami is now 20-26 overall and 7-11 in the MAC. The Eagles are 13-35 overall and 4-14 in the MAC.
The opener started out poorly for the 'Hawks as EMU scored two runs in the top of the second and three more in the top of the fourth to take a 5-0 lead. Sophomore pitcher Jenna Modic came in to the game in relief and shut down the Eagles from there, allowing only three hits in 3.2 innings of work.
Miami began to mount a comeback in the bottom of the fourth. Three consecutive RedHawk batters reached on a walk. Junior shortstop Kylie McChesney followed with a groundout to short, but junior outfielder Bree Lipscomb was able to score to cut the deficit to 5-1.
In the bottom of the sixth, Modic hit a towering home run off the hitting facility in right field to make it 5-2. In the bottom of the seventh, senior first baseman Allie Larrabee made it 5-3 with a single up the middle that scored senior second baseman Kristy Arbour. Miami was able to get the tying runs on base, but was unable to push another run across as Eastern Michigan hung on for the victory.
Larrabee finished the opener 2-for-3 with one RBI. Modic was 1-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored.
The RedHawks wasted no time getting on board to begin the nightcap. In the bottom of the first Arbour and Larrabee were hit by pitches back-to-back. A double to left field by Lipscomb scored Arbour and gave Miami a 1-0 lead.
That almost proved to be all sophomore pitcher Amber Logemann would need. Throwing one of the best games of her career, she kept the Eagles off the board until the top of the seventh inning. With one out, Michelle Kriegshauser hit a solo home run over the centerfield wall to tie the score at one and send the game into extra innings.
It remained tied until the top of the ninth when a double followed by a single scored a run and put EMU in front, 2-1.
Senior catcher Kayla Ledbetter retied the game on the first pitch of the bottom of the ninth, sending a ball over the left field wall. Wanting to end the game there, the RedHawks kept the pressure up. Arbour singled up the middle. After an out was recorded, Lipscomb sacrifice bunted Arbour up to second. Modic was intentionally walked, but Shuey followed with a double to deep right center that scored Arbour and gave Miami a 3-2 win.
Ledbetter finished the nightcap 2-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored. Arbour was 1-for-2 with two runs scored.
Logemann earned the victory, throwing all nine innings. She allowed two runs on only four hits while striking out a career-high 12.
Miami returns to action on Saturday when it hosts Central Michigan at 2 p.m.
