By Ed BrockSharon and Byron Fallaw are upset and confused about why their son's third-grade teacher sent him a postcard they consider pornographic. They were so upset they called the police department in the northern Clayton County community of Forest Park but were told that no charges would be filed against the teacher because nothing was illegal. The postcard, sent by teacher Monte Huey to 8-year-old Cody Fallaw to congratulate him for his high test scores, bears the image of the abstract painting "Zulma" by Henri Matisse. "It's the silhouette of a naked woman," an upset Sharon Fallaw maintained. Byron Fallaw said that they are very careful to monitor what their two sons see on television. The Fallaws had considered Huey to be a good teacher. Sharon Fallaw even wrote a letter of reference for Huey, calling her "highly organized" with "such enthusiasm in her teachings." But their opinion changed when Cody brought the card in from the mailbox. "He came running to the door and said ?Mommy, Mommy, there's a naked lady on this," Byron Fallaw said. "To see something like this, it was absolutely ludicrous in my book," Fallaw said. Huey could not be reached for a comment about the postcard. She has resigned from her job at J.E. Edmonds Elementary School in Forest Park to take a teaching job in Europe. Her Atlanta telephone number has been disconnected and the postcard, which the Fallaws received Thursday evening, was sent from Birmingham, Ala. Byron Fallaw said Huey's mother lives in Birmingham. Sending the card was "a case of bad judgment," said Clayton County School Area 1 Assistant Superintendent Jackie Hubbert. Hubbert added that the school's principal told her that Huey sent congratulatory postcards to several children and they have not received any other complaints. "From what I understand she is a good teacher so I don't know why she would send it," Hubbert said. "I applaud her for sending cards to congratulate students but I wish she had picked another card." Hubbert said she would talk to the Clayton County Schools personnel department and notify Huey by mail if the postcard is found to have violated any rules. According to the Spaightwood Gallery Web site, "Zulma" is a paper cut-out and gouache produced under Matisse's supervision in 1950 for the deluxe art review "Verve." Matisse died in 1954 before the review was printed.

This is a great addition for your laptop/dektop at a very reasonable price. My laptop headphone jack/circuit died and this UBS device saved the day. Good quality output to any powered speaker device you have. Well worth the expense.

D23 EXPO BREAKING NEWS : Jay Rasulo officially announced Star Tours 2 and Magic Kingdom Fantasyland expansion !
IMPORTANT NOTE: I DID A NEW VERSION OF THIS ARTICLE WITH DOZENS OF ARTWORK PRESENTED BY RASULO DURING HIS KEYNOTE. You can see them on Disney and more here:
Jay Rasulo officially announced at the D23 EXPO Star Tours 2 for 2011 at Disneyland and Disney Hollywood Studios. The ride will always use simulators but highly improved. In the ride visitors will board a Starspeeder and join a high-speed pod race through the desert canyons of Tatooine.
A movie clip in 3D from the future ride was shown at the audience and here it is!
Rasulo also confirmed the Magic Kingdom Fantasyland expansion with the Little Mermaid ride - rendering of the entrance above, the Cinderella and Aurora meet and greet, the Be Our Guest restaurant, Belle's village and more. Here is a rendering of the new land.
The double-Dumbo ride is also confirmed and will be part of the expanded Fantasyland! Dumbo the Flying Elephant will be completely re-imagined "when the circus comes to town". Guests will be invited to step into the big top and join the circus before their magical flight over Fantasyland.
A short 3D clip of the beginning of Radiator Springs Racer was also shown to the audience. He also talked about HKDL expansion and the Disney Cruise Line. Not a word on Disneyland Paris future, though. Much more about all this tomorrow on D&M but here is the official press release:
Re-Imagined 'Star Tours' Coming to California and Florida in 2011 and Major Fantasyland Expansion at Walt Disney World Scheduled for 2013
ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 12 Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo detailed plans for future lands, attractions and adventures that will be delighting Disney guests for years to come, at the first D23 Expo. Most notable among the announcements were the confirmation of an all-new Star Tours attraction and the largest expansion in the history of the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
"Storytelling is the DNA of Disney dreams and we're always exploring new ways to tell new stories in new places," Rasulo told a crowd at the Anaheim Convention Center in California before taking them on a "behind-the-magic" tour of their favorite Disney destinations.
Rasulo announced that a new 3-D version of the tremendously-popular "Star Tours" attraction will debut at the Disneyland Resort and Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2011. Based on the iconic Lucasfilm "Star Wars" films, the attraction will include immersive new elements that will take guests to many familiar places in the Star Wars galaxy.
For Walt Disney World in Florida, Rasulo outlined plans for the largest expansion in the history of the Magic Kingdom, vastly increasing the size of Fantasyland by 2013. Guests will soon be able to:
Visit their favorite Disney Princess in her castle, cottage, or chateau to share a dance with Cinderella; celebrate Sleeping Beauty's birthday with the Good Fairies; or join Belle in an enchanting story performance in the Beast's castle library.
Be Our Guest and dine in one of three enchanted rooms inside the Beast's castle.
Fly with Dumbo high above brand new circus grounds, twice the size of the existing attraction with a new interactive, three-ring circus tent.
Journey under the sea with Ariel, The Little Mermaid, in her very own attraction - also opening at Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim in 2011.
Meet Tinker Bell and her friends in the magical world of Pixie Hollow.
Rasulo provided updates on the multi-year expansion of Disney's California Adventure including the new "World of Color" attraction slated to open in the spring of 2010 and the addition of the 12-acre Cars Land scheduled to open in 2012 where guests will literally step into the town of Radiator Springs and its six acres of hand-carved rockwork.
Rasulo noted the progress of several other recently-announced projects including the three new lands coming to Hong Kong Disneyland by 2014; the Disney Dream, the new ship being built by Disney Cruise Line; the many diverse itineraries being offered by Adventures by Disney that take guests on 19 unique, once-in-a-lifetime guided vacation experiences; and Disney's first family destination resort on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
A NEW VERSION OF THIS ARTICLE WITH DOZENS OF ARTWORK PRESENTED BY RASULO DURING HIS KEYNOTE IS NOW ON LINE ON DISNEY AND MORE. You can see them here:

'Expendables 3' Director Hints Arnold Schwarzenegger's Character Is Gay
In an interview with Grantland, 'Expendables 3' director Patrick Hughes was asked about the newly released film's final scene alluding to a relationship between Arnold Schwarzenegger's and Jet Li's characters.
Did the former-Governator just silently flip off Prop 8? Are two of the Expendables together by the end of the movie? 'I believe they are,' Hughes says, like he just got away with something amazing.
Buzzfeed breaks down the scene in question (spoiler alert):
In the final scene of the film, the Expendables are at their favorite dive bar celebrating another successful mission of killing an endless parade of faceless bad guys. Lead Expendable Barney Ross (Stallone) approaches his old rival Trench (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who is commiserating with one of Ross' former compatriots, Yin Yang (Jet Li), both of whom swooped in to help save Ross' team in the climax of the movie.
"So, you're working for Trench now?" Ross asks Yang, who responds by just shooting Trench a knowing look and a smile. As Ross turns to walk away, Trench and Yang lean in even closer to each other, grinning so widely, they almost start to giggle.
"You guys want to get a room?" asks Ross.
"We don't need a room!" Trench says with a laugh. He pulls Yang in close, Yang rests his head on Trench's chest, and the two of them laugh contentedly.
As Ross walks away, Trench exclaims, "So jealous!"
Expendables 3 starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Antonio Banderas, Kelsey Grammer, Kellan Lutz, Mel Gibson, and Harrison Ford is in currently in theaters.
Planning on seeing the film?
Riveting stuff.

This was a horrible movie. Some good action but dear God it was bad. Kellen Lutz should have been the gay character, would have made much more sense. But still, bad bad acting.
Posted by: Mike Ryan | Aug 18, 2014 2:10:19 PM
What @Bruno says; this little gimmick sounds like an Urban Outfitters or Whole Foods thing--play to the disenfranchise sensibilities and use their money to keep 'em disenfranchised.
Posted by: woodroad34 | Aug 18, 2014 2:34:44 PM
Sounds like healthy well adjusted straight guys. This is a good thing. They can acknowledge mutual love and respect between 2 guys without worrying that they will be perceived as "fags" or something. You see this banter more and more with straight leads in TV shows appealing to people about 15 to 25.

Mel Gibson should have been the gay character. Maybe he should have kissed someone, too....

I think this director is trying to sell this movie...any way he can

A cast consisting of Kelsey Grammar, Mel Gibson, Arnold Schwarzeneggar & Sylvester Stallone ? Is this movie funded by the Republican Party ? It should be called The Tea Party Lunatics Show off Their Guns !
What a bunch of losers. I will NOT be seeing this awful movie full of D list faded "celebrities" who don't want to pay any taxes.

Single Port Approach to Surpass 20% of All Laparoscopic Procedures by 2014
WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ — According to Millennium Research Group (MRG), the global authority on medical technology market intelligence, a perfect storm of groundbreaking product releases, patient benefits, and heightened physician interest have made the single-port laparoscopy market the next darling of minimally invasive surgery.
With more than 2 million laparoscopic surgeries performed each year in the US alone, the laparoscopy market provides significant opportunity for device manufacturers. MRG's new US Markets for Laparoscopic Devices 2010 report finds that single-port laparoscopy will swiftly penetrate laparoscopic procedures over the next five years due to demand for the benefits of the technique. The procedure requires just one incision, which is typically made through the umbilicus, leaves no visible scarring and facilitates faster patient recovery with less pain.
"Established laparoscopic device competitors such as Covidien, Olympus Gyrus-ACMI, and Applied Medical were all actively marketing single-port access devices along with articulating hand instruments by the end of 2009; we also expect to see Ethicon Endo-Surgery focus more heavily on this market in the future," says Tiffanie Demone, Senior Analyst at MRG. "Market shares will continue to be dynamic in coming years, however, due in part to smaller companies such as Novare Surgical, CambridgeEndo, and TransEnterix."
These companies are heating up the competitive landscape through innovative product releases geared specifically to the single-port laparoscopy market. TransEnterix' SPIDER system, for example, is expected to enter the US market in 2010, and offers an integrated surgical platform that makes single-port procedures easier for surgeons to learn and perform. By improving device integration and articulation, the movement surgeons make during single port surgery more closely resembles what's required of them during traditional laparoscopy. While advanced devices for single-port surgery are individually much more expensive than traditional laparoscopic instruments — at an average of more than $400 for a single-port access device versus $45 to 70 for traditional access devices — the need for fewer devices will help ease monetary barriers to adoption.
In addition to covering single-port devices, MRG's new report, US Markets for Laparoscopic Devices 2010, provides critical insight into emerging trends that will fuel market growth for internal closure devices, direct energy devices, access devices, gastric bands, hand instruments, suction/irrigation devices, insufflation devices, hand-assist devices, laparoscopes, and mechanical female sterilization devices. The report provides a complete breakdown of unit sales, average selling prices, and revenues by device type and includes five-year forecasts, up-to-date market shares, and in-depth qualitative insights.

Some of the most spirited exchanges in the presidential debates involved energy policy. In the second debate, for example, Mitt Romney blamed President Obama for what he said was a one-year decline in oil production of 14 percent on federal land.
The president insisted that wasn't true — "production is up" and "I'm all for oil production" — and that Romney would neglect renewables.
We've written about the need for extending tax benefits for renewables several times, and won't repeat the plea today. But what about the state of oil production?
In a word, it's booming — and we'll get to the candidates' charges and countercharges in a moment. As a headlines in this newspaper Wednesday proclaimed, "All's well for U.S. oil wells" as "Prices, methods may drive output to world's largest."
You read that right: Given the current trajectory of domestic oil production, the U.S. could pass Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest producer. Indeed, as The Associated Press reported, U.S. production "is on track to rise 7 percent this year" — the "biggest single-year gain since 1951."
As that report also indicated, the driving forces behind the boost are attractive prices for producers — for consumers, admittedly, not so much — and techniques such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling that allow production in formerly unattractive locations.
To be sure, Romney is correct that the biggest gains have occurred on private land and that oil production was actually down 14 percent in 2011 on federal lands. But it rose during the first two years of the Obama presidency — if for reasons that probably had little to do with actions his administration took.
For that matter, the decline in 2011 was largely attributable to the moratorium on deepwater production imposed after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. You may quarrel with the length of the moratorium, but no serious critic faults the administration for halting operations at least for a time to reassess safety rules.
Meanwhile, offshore production has ramped back up. Indeed, The Times-Picayune of New Orleans reported this week that regulators have already issued more deepwater drilling permits this year than in any since 2007. Proponents of more drilling such as Romney may chafe at the fact that federal officials have not opened up additional offshore (and on-shore) land to exploration, but they can't credibly argue that production is being suffocated.
As early as next year, U.S. production of "liquid hydrocarbons" (including biofuels) could nearly equal that of Saudi Arabia, and then pull past it, The AP says. That's terrific news — and we're willing to bet it will occur no matter which candidate is elected president.

In this courtroom sketch, defendant Azamat Tazhayakov, foreground center, a college friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is stands between his attorneys as the verdict is read in his federal trial, on July 21 in Boston. Tazhayakov, of Kazakhstan, was convicted of obstruction of justice and conspiracy, impeding the investigation into the bombing. Prosecutors said he agreed with a plan by another friend, Dias Kadyrbayev, to remove Tsarnaev's backpack containing altered fireworks from his dorm room a few days after the 2013 bombings.
A college friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev plans to plead guilty to impeding the investigation into the deadly attack, his lawyer said Wednesday. Dias Kadyrbayev, 20, is accused of removing a backpack containing emptied-out fireworks from Tsarnaev's dorm room after realizing he was suspected of carrying out the 2013 attack with his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
Prosecutors said Kadyrbayev and another friend, Azamat Tazhayakov, decided to take the items from Tsarnaev's room at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth several days after two bombs exploded near the finish line of the marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 260. The items, along with Tsarnaev's laptop computer, were removed hours after the FBI publicly released photographs of Tsarnaev and his brother as suspects in the bombing. Tazhayakov was convicted last month.
During his trial, witnesses said Kadyrbayev took the backpack and threw it in the trash, while Tazhayakov was convicted of agreeing with the plan to remove the items. An electronic notice filed Wednesday said Kadyrbayev is expected to be in court Thursday for a change-of-plea hearing. His lawyer, Robert Stahl, confirmed that he intends to plead guilty, but wouldn't say whether he would admit to one or both charges.

From Luzon to Mindanao: A harvest of plays in National Theater Festival
More News from Amadís Ma. Guerrero
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
The first National Theater Festival (NTF) in 1992 was off to a fiery start—literally.
The abundant fireworks meant to dramatize the festival swished through the air, burst into flames, went ballistic à la Miriam Santiago, and then landed on the roof of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, damaging some portions.
There were two such festivals in 1996 and 2004. After that, a long silence, until this year.
The fourth NTF—billed as "Ika-Apat na Tagpo, ang Bagong Yugto: The New Act"—will take place at the CCP Nov. 8-18.
The event is organized by the CCP and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
This was announced at a recent press conference at the CCP's Silangan Hall. In his welcome remarks, festival director Nanding Josef noted that, before, directors and actors of plays in Filipino and English hardly spoke to one another, in fact, couldn't stand each other ("dating nag-aaway-away" as Audie Gemora once put it).
But all that has changed now, and different organizations have banded together to form PhilStage, which includes artists from music and dance.
During the press con, Tanghalang Pilipino actors essayed an "emotional" scene from the play "Walang Kukurap," while Rody Vera reprised his role as the 1950s singer Bobby Gonzales in "Stageshow."
The festival will focus on the role of theater in national development. The first three days of the NTF will be the conference proper, followed by performances. There will also be screenings of films based on plays, and vice versa.
Participants will discuss and analyze the theater environment. There will be sectoral discussions of issues and concerns, capped by strategies and actions for Philippine theater in the next five years.
The participating companies and artists are: Barasoain Kalinangan Foundation from Bulacan; Bohol Antequera and Maribojoc Collectives, Teatro Bolanon; Carlos Celdran; Dulaang UP; Gantimpala Theater Foundation; Integrated Performing Arts Guild from MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology; MSU Kabpapagariya Ensemble from the Mindanao State University in General Santos City; Philippine Educational Theater Association (Peta); Tanghalang Ateneo; Tanghalang Pilipino; The Xavier Stage from Xavier University; Trumpets; Kanlaon Theater Guild of Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod; Sipat Lawin Ensemble; Spit (Silly People's Improv Theater); and the ventriloquists Ony Carcamo and Wanlu.
For director Ricardo Abad of Tanghalang Ateneo, one of the festival heads, the NTP was important because "it allows from a Manila perspective to see what is going on in the regions and vice versa, to know what is going on there and vice versa."
He hoped for more cooperation in productions, for improvement in the craft, and to make Philippine theater more progressive.
Abad cited the "synergy among the groups, not just the shows themselves but also in between, the amount of learning, influence of styles, and possible projects."
"Just like film festivals, there should be more festivals like this," he concluded. "And not just in Manila but also in other places like Cebu and Davao."

Building theories of organizations is challenging: theories are partial and "folk" categories are fuzzy. The commonly used tools--first-order logic and its foundational set theory--are ill-suited for handling these complications. Here, three leading authorities rethink organization theory. Logics of Organization Theory sets forth and applies a new language for theory building based on a nonmonotonic logic and fuzzy set theory. In doing so, not only does it mark a major advance in organizational theory, but it also draws lessons for theory building elsewhere in the social sciences.
Organizational research typically analyzes organizations in categories such as "bank," "hospital," or "university." These categories have been treated as crisp analytical constructs designed by researchers. But sociologists increasingly view categories as constructed by audiences. This book builds on cognitive psychology and anthropology to develop an audience-based theory of organizational categories. It applies this framework and the new language of theory building to organizational ecology. It reconstructs and integrates four central theory fragments, and in so doing reveals unexpected connections and new insights.

Baboons and Humans Have Similar Stories To Tell On Malaria Struggle
Evolutionarily speaking, baboons may be our more distant cousins among primates. But when it comes to our experiences with malaria over the course of time, it seems the stories of our two species have followed very similar plots.
In humans, subtle variation in one particular gene that controls whether a protein on the surface of red blood cells gets made or not literally spells the difference between susceptibility or resistance to one form of malaria. That's because the blood protein serves as the entry point for Plasmodium vivax, one of several malaria-causing parasites that infect humans.
Now, researchers at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy report that variation in precisely the same regulatory gene also influences baboons' chances of getting sick, by ratcheting their susceptibility to another, closely related parasite up or down.
"It's a nice example of how "" in the vastness of the genome "" the same gene was modified in the same way in two different species to produce the same kind of resistance," says Greg Wray, director of the IGSP's Center for Evolutionary Genomics. "That's a pretty remarkable thing when you think of all the different ways malaria resistance might have evolved."
The findings, which appeared online in Nature on June 24, also mark a turning point in primate research: they are the first to connect any functionally important genetic variation in wild primates to complex, real-life consequences for the animals.
The yellow baboons in question live in Kenya's Amboseli National Park and have been the subject of ongoing observation for nearly 40 years, making them one of the best-studied wild mammal populations in the world from a behavioral and life history standpoint.
"It used to be that our work was limited to 'skin-out' biology," says Susan Alberts, an associate professor of biology and IGSP member who has been recording the habits of the baboons for the last 25 years. Today, thanks to a growing library of sequenced primate genomes including our own, scientists can begin to delve deeper.
Graduate student Jenny Tung spent three summers out on the East African savanna, watching the baboons, collecting their DNA-laden feces, and with the help of an expert team of Kenyan field assistants, very carefully drawing blood from darted animals. Successfully darting baboons is no small feat, Tung said. You have to be within meters of the animal you are targeting, and at the same time make sure that none of the baboons catch you in the act. If they did, it would send the troop running and screaming and, in technical terms, "really mess up the field data." In the evenings, Tung processed and stored her hard-won samples in a makeshift refrigerator before shipping them off to Duke.
Once back at the lab, Tung found something in those blood samples that came as a surprise despite all the years of study. More than half of the Amboseli baboons — some 60 percent — were infected with the malaria-like parasite known as Hepatocystis.
"We had no idea so many of them were carrying this parasite," Alberts says. For years, researchers have tracked the baboons for any signs of injury or illness. But although the infection probably compromises the animals, they don't develop cyclical fever spikes or other immediately obvious symptoms like humans with malaria do.
In search of a genetic basis for differences in the baboons' vulnerability to infection, the researchers zeroed in on the DNA sequence surrounding the DARC gene, the same region that has been traced to malaria protection among people. Although the specifics differ from those in humans, they found that a single letter change to the genetic code — a switch from an A to a G — lends some baboons the ability to better fend off infection. In fact, they show, one G is good, but two are even better.
Further analysis of the baboons' blood and in cell culture confirmed that the variants influence infection rates through changes in the activity of the DARC gene. Comparison of the Amboseli baboon sequences to two other populations also showed that the DNA sequence has undergone a relatively rapid rate of evolutionary change, the mark of natural selection for malaria resistance.
The newfound parallels between baboons and humans bring the long history of conflict between parasite and host into high relief. "It's a struggle out there," Alberts says. "We often think of malaria as a contemporary problem, but it's a deep part of our history."
The study also shows the power of coupling genomics with dedicated fieldwork. "Part of what we want to do is push the envelope and show that this is doable," Wray says. With the proof of principle in hand, the next big challenge is to begin to unravel the genomic differences that may be responsible for fuzzier behavioral traits, such as social status or aggression, he added.
"It's getting easier and easier to generate genetic data," Tung says. "But it's never going to be easy to have long-term field data — especially for primates. It takes years and years before you see the fruit of those labors. We're just at the point where it's going to really start paying off."

Five Sure-Fire Ways to have a Beautiful Home and All the Best Gadgets for Less
Yes, you're making great money compared to what you were used to in college, but the economy is tough, ever changing and unforgiving. And while many of your friends are probably outfitting their apartments and homes with the nicest TVs and furniture credit can buy, it's in your best interest to keep your expenses low.
With sites like Craigslist and Zaarly, your ability to find really nice items that are gently used couldn't be easier. Granted, you'll be sitting on someone's old leather couch, but honestly, the leather looks cooler when it's been "weathered." Plus, a brand new sofa and side chair with ottoman could cost upwards of $1,500-2,000 and a gently used set goes for $500-700.
Car Buying Tips
Whether you are ready to trade in that hand-me-down hatchback or toss that bus pass in the trash, buying your first car is quite an adventure. It can be a time-consuming, frustrating and exhilarating process, so it's best to make a plan before you head out to the car lots. Here are a few tips on where to start.
- What Can You Afford? Before you begin shopping for a car, it's important to take a look at your budget and figure out how much you can afford to spend on a vehicle, without strapping yourself or cutting into your savings. The number needs to take into consideration the monthly payment and operating expenses, like gas and maintenance.
- The Down Payment You're also going to need a big chunk of change for a down payment. To get a loan for a car, and often for a lease, you'll probably need to make a down payment of around 10 percent of the total price of the vehicle. The larger your down payment, the smaller your monthly payment will be and the less you will pay in total for the car in the long run.

Utilization Management Registered Nurses in the United States with more than 10 years of experience in their profession represent just below two-thirds of Utilization Management Registered Nurses. Salaries average out to around $67K per year and spread from $51K to $87K per year. Including potential bonuses and profit sharing proceeds (more than $5K for each in exceptional cases) overall income bottoms out near $51K and hits $87K on the high end. Residence and tenure each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Work is enjoyable for Utilization Management Registered Nurses, who typically claim high levels of job satisfaction. A fair number report receiving medical coverage from their employers and more than half collect dental insurance. The figures in this overview were provided by individuals who took PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Registered nurses (RN) in utilization management (UM) review and optimize aspects of the medical services. This consists of utilization management, as well as assessing customer needs. Along with this process, these registered nurses must be able to implement planned concepts and solutions into real-world practice, and then gather feedback and reports on their performance. Many of the positions do not involve strict supervision, but others do involve active work with positions such as the compliance liaison and case manager nurse.Read More...
The hours for employees in this position can vary greatly, with shift lengths varying greatly depending on the organization's hours of operation and needs. Most of the work is done in a hospital or office environment, though positions that work exclusively through telecommute are also available.
To get a license as a registered nurse, it is often required to have at least a bachelor's degree in nursing. State requirements may vary greatly, so the exact requirements of any position depend on the specific job location. In addition to an unrestricted RN license, many registered nurse in utilization management positions also require clinical experience, usually with high preference for hospital environments. Other needed skills include proficiency with basic computer programs such as the Microsoft Office suite and excellent interpersonal skills.
Utilization Management Registered Nurses generally report applying a varied skill set to their work. Most notably, skills in Intensive Care Unit, Case Management, Emergency Room, and Medicine / Surgery are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Hospice and Pediatrics. Most people skilled in Acute Care are similarly competent in Medicine / Surgery.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Utilization Management Registered Nurses do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. During their first five years in the workforce, individuals in this position earn $63K on average. Survey participants with five to 10 years under their belts see an only a slightly bigger average of $64K. Utilization Management Registered Nurses with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $67K. Ultimately, more time spent in the workforce does seem to translate to bigger paychecks; seasoned veterans with more than 20 years of experience report a median income of $71K.

A recent consensus statement written by international pediatric nutrition experts has recommended that infants and young children avoid rice-based drinks. This is due to the fact that some types of rice contain large concentrations of inorganic arsenic, a first-level carcinogen. There is no safe level of intake, because any exposure is risky. The longer the exposure to inorganic arsenic, the more toxic its effects.
The newly published report reminds us that rice and derived products such as starch, flour and syrup are used to fortify different foods, including drinks, purees, and snacks. These are foods often fed to infants and young children. Since most of the inorganic arsenic in rice is concentrated in the outer bran layers, the report also highlights that potentially, the most harmful type of exposure is that which comes from products manufactured from brown rice.
To reduce the harmful effects from arsenic exposure in rice-based foods, experts recommend the following:

No "window of opportunity" for celiac disease prevention
As a pediatric gastroenterologist, I'm often asked whether there is any way to prevent a child from developing celiac disease. Based on what I knew regarding how food allergies develop, I used to counsel families that there might be a "window of opportunity", between four and six months, when it's possible to introduce grains and other gluten-containing foods that could potentially "teach" the immune system to tolerate gluten and thus lower the risk of developing celiac disease.
However, my "window theory" recently got thrown out the window when the results of two important scientific studies were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Can food allergies be undiagnosed?
Unfortunately, there are no approved treatments for food allergies today. Individuals cope by avoiding the food and having proper medications nearby in case of an allergic reaction. As most children eventually outgrow some food allergies, it's important to get tested for an accurate diagnosis.
To diagnose a food allergy, allergy specialists usually ...

Many of us are aware of the recent nationwide recall of peaches and other fruit due to the potential of bacterial contamination. Although thankfully, no illnesses have been reported so far, I'd like to take this opportunity to refresh our knowledge about ways to avoid food borne illness or food poisoning.
According to The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), food poisoning affects approximately 1 in 6 Americans every year. Often it results in relatively mild symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea and vomiting that resolve within a day or so. However, food poisoning can also lead to more dangerous and even deadly outcomes, which is why food safety is so important!
So how should we protect our family from food borne illness? It's pretty easy! Just remember 4 basic steps: clean, separate, cook and chill!
Kids and lactose intolerance
Do you wonder if your child might have "lactose intolerance"? Have you ever thought of removing dairy from your child's diet? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, here are a few things to remember when it comes to lactose intolerance in kids:
Lactose is broken down by lactase.
While lactose is the carbohydrate (sugar) found in milk, lactase is the enzyme that digests the sugar. This enzyme is found in the lining of the small intestine, breaks down lactose into simpler molecules that are easier to absorb. When there isn't enough lactase, the sugar isn't properly absorbed, which leads to the symptoms of "intolerance", which include gas, bloating, pain and diarrhea.
True lactose intolerance is rare in young children.
Although children as young as infants can "transiently" have less lactase in their digestive tracts (most often, this happens for a week or two after an infection), lactase production remains ...
Gluten intolerance or low FODMAPs?
Despite test results that show no evidence of their children having neither any detectable allergies to wheat nor any signs of celiac disease, many parents choose to have their children follow a gluten-free diet. This is because of convincing stories of how gluten (a protein found in wheat and other grains) seems to cause their kids to have belly aches, nausea, bloating and a variety of other symptoms.
For years, this was hard to explain without a scientific explanation. Gastroenterologists like me had a hard time supporting families who wanted to follow gluten free diets, without a good "medical reason". Then, in 2011, researchers from Australia conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, rechallenge trial in nearly 3 dozen patients (none of whom had celiac disease or wheat allergy), all of whom described worsening symptoms when unknowingly ingesting small amounts of gluten. The results of this study described a condition termed, "Non-celiac gluten intolerance". It was after reading this landmark study that many physicians, including myself, began to validate parents' concerns about gluten being the culprit behind their children's gastrointestinal (GI) problems.
But then in 2013, just as word of non-celiac gluten intolerance was gaining popularity amongst physicians like me, the exact same group of researchers from Australia published a follow-up study on a similar set of about 3 dozen patients. The findings of this 2nd study showed that instead...

Host a Stress-Free New Year's at Home With Hasbro Games
EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass., Dec. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Each year, as the calendar races towards December 31, adults around the country are faced with the annual question of whether to go out on the town or stay home to celebrate New Year's Eve. This year, however, more people are keeping local. According to a recent survey commissioned by Hasbro, 88 percent of those polled said that they would rather ring in the New Year in the comfort of home with friends than stand among thousands in New York City's Times Square. Once the decision has been made to stay home, hosts and hostesses are faced with the question of what to do to keep guests entertained and having fun until midnight.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091229/NY30791LOGO )
Hasbro's adult party games, which include titles for all personalities and interests, from PICTIONARY to TABOO to ELECTRONIC CATCH PHRASE, offer one way to get the party started and keep it going. After the invitations have gone out and the menu has been planned, make sure the game closet is fully stocked. The only choice that will be left to make is which game to play!
"Hasbro games provide a great atmosphere for creating lasting memories, inspiring laughter and having fun at an affordable price that suits everyone's budget," said Sarah Hoskin, Senior Brand Manager of U.S. Marketing for Hasbro Games. "Games set the tone for a bright and lighthearted start to the New Year."
Guests at parties large and small will be glad to trade awkward party chitchat for entertainment that will lighten the mood and spark conversation. For those who love to collect fun little tidbits of trivia, impress the crowd with your random knowledge during New Year's when playing TRIVIAL PURSUIT Team Edition. Make the game even livelier by organizing the group into teams of men vs. women, or couple vs. couple. Creative partygoers who have a knack for drawing will be happy to show off their sketching ability over rounds of PICTIONARY, the classic quick draw game. And for a more raucous crowd, divide into two teams for a hysterical game of TABOO. In this game of unspeakable fun, guests will be challenged to try to describe and guess words without saying the TABOO word – if you do, prepare for the opposing team to press the TABOO buzzer for all to hear!
For bigger groups, set up game stations around the room and let guests mingle while sampling the games. Be sure to bring out a range of titles for all personality types and party scenarios – from the conversation starters to group gatherers. SCATTERGORIES is a great way to start the evening, especially for those who are witty and like to think on their feet. Guests who choose this game will be asked to come up with the most unexpected words according to the letter rolled on the dice to score points. To drum up the crowd and draw more people into game play, try ELECTRONIC CATCH PHRASE, in which partygoers rush to describe the word or phrase on the handheld game unit in hopes that teammates will guess the word or phrase correctly. As the timer speeds up, the more hilarious the clues become. For the close knit group, THE GAME OF THINGS… allows partiers to be silly and use creative license as they write down the wackiest thing that comes to mind when hearing phrases such as "Things…you shouldn't do in public," leaving everyone to guess who said what. You won't believe the things your friends will say!
Each of these must-haves from Hasbro will spice up the festivities and leave guests hoping for another invite the following year. No matter the size of the gathering, Hasbro Games has something for New Year's Eve parties of every size. Each of these adult party games can be played in an intimate setting with close friends or family, or with a big crowd of new and old friends.
As you prepare for this New Year's, save money and skip the hassle by staying in for a night of games. With so many laugh-out-loud, edge of your seat games to choose from, noisemakers are optional this year. These Hasbro games are available at major retailers nationwide with approximate retail prices ranging from $22.99 to $29.99. For more information and tips on hosting a game night, go to www.HasbroGameNight.com.

Switching Characters
Now that we have Duty Officers to keep busy; meaning that we have to login and out a few times frequently. Any chance we can, at some point, be able to do that without having to put in our password every time? I know it's not a huge inconvenience, but it does get annoying.
I could say "WoW does it that way", but I won't. ;)
I for one am for this. But for slightly different reasons. Every time I go to log out a character, it asks me if I just want to "log out that character", then logs out my entire account and I have to log in again.
I know, even mentioning that means that Cryptic will change the text first, and not the log out thing.
Switching Characters
One thing that really bothers me and I find just as frustrating as hitting the loading screen after loading screen, is the process of switching characters. Any time we want to switch between toons we have to back all the way out of the game, then re-log in, password etc.. Once or twice is fine, and if you are spending alot of time on one toon then it is really not that big of a deal.
However, when you are looking through the inventories of multiple toons, running some quick dailies such as the winter race, etc.. it starts to become a bigger issue. So, Why do we have to log out and re log back in to switch toons on our account? Are there any ways Cryptic can alleviate this issue?
It's a security feature, and it shall not be removed.
Some of Us Vets around here went through this conversation way back in mid-2010...
It was definitely stated that this would not be changed.
Nothing is a Security Feature, if somebody else gets your password. ;)
This was mentioned somewhere, but it's a security thing that Cryptic is not likely to change anytime soon.
it is terribly anoying... makes me want to shorten my PW...

Echo Charge drawbacks?

As K1VSK said, it makes
no sense at all
to reverse the EchoCharge device. Among other things, you'd limit your charge on the house batteries to no more than 15 amps (the capacity of the EchoCharge), even if you had upwards of 100 amps available for the house batteries. Dumb, for sure!
Cam said it well, but it bears repeating:
starting batteries require very little charging.
They only draw a miniscule amount of power when starting the engine (lots of amps but only for a few seconds). Typically, this power is replaced
in just a few minutes
after you start the engine. After that, what's the alternator to do? Idle?
EchoCharge devices will typically begin sampling and charging the start battery when the voltage exceeds about 12.8. It doesn't have to be 13.0 or more. Furthermore, the charging voltage on your house batteries will reach that threshold very soon, even if they're badly depleted. Remember...it's not the resting voltage of the batteries which causes the EchoCharge to activate; it's the
charging voltage
. That will reach the necessary 12.8V in just a few minutes after the engine starts and the alternator begins charging the house bank.
Finally, the 50mil draw on the house batteries is for all intents and purposes negligible in a properly designed system. As Cam correctly pointed out, if you anticipate being off shore power for long periods of time, you
provide some other charging source (solar panels, wind generator, etc.) to keep your batteries topped up, otherwise you're gonna kill your batteries through sulfation, stratification, and the other ills which attack chronically undercharged batteries.

Washington State has every reason to be very concerned about making sure that the drug addicts that call the state home get the help that they need. The number of drug-related deaths in the state has always been high, above the national average, and recently, that number has started to increase.
The recent increase in drug-related death merely proves that the state really does have a need for as many drug rehabilitation programs as it can get. The more rehabilitation programs there are, the better the state's chances are of eventually being able to reverse the amount of drug use and drug-related deaths that it is currently dealing with.
Although there are several different types of drug-related treatment programs in the state, the best ones, or at least, the ones that usually have the highest success rates are the residential treatment programs. The residential programs are set up so the individual does not have any outside distraction and can focus on overcoming their illness. Some of the programs are long-term programs, while others only last the standard 28 days and should be followed up by a good-quality outpatient drug program.
The goal of a majority of the drug rehabilitation programs in Washington State is to deal with both the psychological as well as physical fallout that is always related to a drug addiction. This is done through detoxification and counseling. When the person emerges from the program, they will have the skills, they need to help them ignore triggers that would have caused them to turn to drugs in the past.
When an addict decides that they need help, or if they are forced into getting help, they need to make sure that the residential treatment program that they enroll in is experienced with the type of drug that the person uses. Different drug addictions usually require a slightly different treatment approach.
90-Day Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers in Washington
Within the state of Washington, there are just over 20 various forms of residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that will offer a 90-day treatment program. Various forms of addiction treatment will be offered from center to center such as, twelve-step meetings, group counseling, individual therapy, cognitive therapy, and other forms of more traditional therapies. Each center will have a different success rate, so it is important that a person asks what the success rate may be.

Our stay here couldn't have been better the room was lovely and the breakfasts were amazing. David, our host, made us feel at home and had great suggestions on what to do and where to eat in the area. We will definitely be going back to Reynolds House our next trip to the area.

David was a great host. I arrived late evening and David accommodated with hot tea and some fine home made night snacks. Some great history in the house. Rooms/beds were very comfortable. I stayed in the Cortland Room. Great multi-course breakfast got me off the next morning. A one night stay.

It was a pleasure to stay at David's house. Not only was he an excellent house but his breakfasts were over the top. Proportions were just right, not to big and not to small. He was very accommodating and simply put a sweet inn keeper. That's for your hospitality Dave

I would recommend staying at this B&B because it was nice and quiet, David was very pleasant, his stories were very interesting, and his dog was a lot of fun to play with. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on, and the pillows were just as comfortable. The location was perfect because it was close to everything we wanted to do. We will definitely be visiting here again!

He accommodated my wife's unusual diet with tasty modifications to his recipes. All in all, a very pleasant stay and we will be back!

My wife needed a weekend away. It took me a while to discover something suitable and available in nearly all of Door County, but I happened upon an available room at the Reynolds House. I had not expected to get the entire upper/attic floor, but there it was, and so when we arrived, it was a wonderful surprise. A very private 3-room space includes a private bath with a shower and a separate jacuzzi tub, a living room with a TV and couches and chairs, and a lovely bedroom with a large bed and all the peaceful amenities one could ask for. The new owner of the Reynolds House is about the nicest proprietor one could wish for. He was full of suggestions about where to go (and which towns to avoid because of high traffic), what to see and which restaurants offered the best fish, the best deals, and so on. His breakfasts were unique and delicious, and we both had a weekend to remember. Would we do it all again? Oh yeah..

Our stay at Reynolds House was a gift for our anniversary. It was our first stay in Sturgeon Bay and staying at the Reynolds House made it very special. We had the entire 3rd floor, which is designed to be occupied only by one couple. This B&B is quiet, comfortable, quaint and run by David... a very gracious host! He has a little dog, Celie, who is very good with all of his guests. Some may not think that a B&B should have a dog present, but she literally NEVER barked and made our stay even more enjoyable! David is a great chef with stories to share from his many travels. He has not been in Door County for very long, but he has educated himself very quickly about the history and was very good about helping us to plan our day time-wise by being aware of what was available around us and details about services and practices of various attractions. All in all, we loved our stay at Reynolds House and would highly recommend it! P.S. You will NOT find any hotel with bedding as comfortable as what we slept on at this B&B... I guarantee it!!
