About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

FDA Review of Altabax Promotional Material
Date: 04/19/2010 (Date of FDA Warning Letter)
Misconduct Type: Health
Enforcement Agency: Health and Human Servs.
Contracting Party: None
Court Type: N/A
Amount: $0
Disposition: Investigative Finding
Synopsis: In April 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter to GlaxoSmithKline about the promotion of its Altabax skin infection ointment. The FDA reviewed a sales brochure known as a "slim jim" sales aid which discussed Altabax and found it "false or misleading." The FDA said the brochure "broadens the indication of Altabax, makes unsubstantiated superiority claims, and omits and minimizes important risk information associated with Altabax. Thus, the slim jim misbrands the drug in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act….These violations are concerning from a public health perspective because they suggest that Altabax is safer or more effective than has been demonstrated by substantial evidence or substantial clinical experience."

Chevy Impala 2014 is the No. 1 sedan, says Consumer Reports
If you're looking for the best sedan in its class, look no further than the American-made 2014 Chevy Impala. Consumer Reports rates Chevrolet's latest Impala sedan as the top choice of other similar models.
"The Impala's performance is one more indicator of an emerging domestic renaissance," Jake Fisher, director of Consumer Reports automotive testing, says in a statement. "We've seen a number of redesigned American models --including the Chrysler 300, Ford Escape and Fusion, and Jeep Grand Cherokee -- deliver world-class performance in our tests."
The 2014 Chevy Impala scored 95 points out of a possible 100, which is impressive considering that the outgoing 2013 Chevy Impala scored only 63. Not only did the Impala get No. 1 among similar sedans, beating out the likes of the Audi A6 and Lexus LS 460 L, but it also earned the third-highest score overall from Consumer Reports.
So why did the Impala get its high rating? It averages 22 miles per gallon with a six-speed automatic transmission and 3.6-liter V-6 engine, and earned points for a big cabin and trunk, great acceleration and smooth handling. According to Consumer Reports, it is the Impala's competitive nature that makes it such a gem.
"Impala is competitive with cars that cost $20,000 more, including the Audi A6 and Lexus LS460L, as well as the recently reviewed Acura RLX and Jaguar XF," the magazine writes.

What's so good?
By Hugh McClure | Jan 08, 2014 | Total plays: 5,430
This shift has not slowed him down, and he's just released a brand new single that provides us with more insight into the talented producer's repertoire. This time around, he's channeled the bass-heavy themes that British electronic producers like Four Tet and Burial like to employ. Complete with skittish percussion and shadowy vocal samples, it's the darkest (and best) work we've heard from him to date.
Now settled back in Australia, expect to hear a lot more from Emerse in the near future. Make sure to check in at his SoundCloud to enjoy his past work, too.

Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI)
Acquiring a healthcare-associated infection (HAI) is a potential risk to anyone who has invasive medical treatment, surgery, or is hospitalized. Healthcare-associated infections are infections that patients acquire during the course of receiving healthcare treatment for other conditions in a healthcare setting, and these infections can be devastating and deadly. Healthcare settings may include hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, dialysis centers and/or rehabilitation facilities. HAIs are the most common type of harmful event experienced by hospitalized patients, causing an estimated 1.7 million infections each year in the United States.
HAIs can be associated with invasive devices used in medical procedures, such as a central line, urinary catheter or ventilator. The use of such devices can harm patients' natural defenses against germs and the longer these devices are in place, the greater the risk of infection. Catheter blood infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and catheter urinary tract infections account for two-thirds of all healthcare associated infections. HAIs may also occur at surgical sites, known as surgical site infections, or failing to closely follow infection control practices, such as hand washing.

I love the smell of this. ... fresh and fruity
My son doesn't have dry skin so I can't comment on what it would be like in that instance. This smells divine - fresh and almost fruity, really lovely. We've stopped using the others as I love the smell so much. It cleans baby's hair really nicely (he hasn't got a lot lol) and keeps his skin clean and fresh. I love this !

The boys love it!
Bathtime is always longer than 'necessary' especially with this bubblebath as I can't get them out- they love it so much! Their only complaint is that it smells a bit 'girly' for them-can't have everything.

An animal control device directs a pressure pulse wave to an animal as a negative stimulus to deter undesired behavior. The animal control device includes a collar worn by an animal with a pressure pulse generator probe in contact with the animal's skin. The pressure pulse wave applied may be adjustable commensurate with the severity of undesired behavior. In one embodiment, the animal control device contains a remote transmitter for a trainer to administer a pressure pulse manually and at a desired intensity. In an alternate embodiment, the animal control device may contain a bark sensor to administer a pressure pulse when the animal produces undesirable barking. Alternatively, the animal control device may contain a sensor for directing a pressure pulse if an animal strays from a desired confined location.

This is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/442,288 entitled "PRESSURE PULSE PROBE FOR ANIMAL BEHAVIOR CORRECTION", filed Nov. 19, 1999 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,360,697.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an animal control system and in particular, an animal control system which directs a pressure pulse wave to the skin of an animal for curbing undesirable animal behavior.
2. Description of the Related Art
Animal trainers as well as animal owners often have to administer a negative stimulus (i.e., correction) to an animal being trained to reinforce the correction of undesirable behavior. In order for the negative reinforcement to be effective, the negative stimulus must invoke a sensation of discomfort sufficient to discourage the animal from repeating the undesired behavior. It is advantageous to have the negative stimulus be administered in a humane and safe fashion. In addition, it is desirable that the negative stimulus not irritate nor jeopardize the welfare of the trainer.
Current systems of negative stimulus include spanking the animal with a rolled up newspaper, generating offensive smells or sounds, and applying electric shock. Use of electric shock has attained a great degree of success towards meeting the coals of an ideal negative stimulus system. Electric correction systems provide a convenient use and allow a trainer to select a level of correction stimulus. However, certain individuals may not wish to apply an electrical stimulus to their pet.
What is needed in the art is an animal correction system that does not irritate the trainer, that is humane, and provides a level of discomfort that is adjustable commensurate with the severity of undesirable behavior.
The present invention provides an animal control device which directs a pressure pulse wave to the skin of an animal as a technique for correcting undesirable animal behavior.
The invention comprises, in one form thereof, an animal control device adapted to be in contact with the skin of an animal which produces a pressure pulse. The animal control device comprises a collar and a pressure pulse generator for producing a pressure pulse. A controller is operatively associated with the pressure pulse generator for selectively generating the pressure pulse. In one particular further embodiment, the animal control device comprises a receiver operatively associated with a controller. In yet a further embodiment, a transmitter is operatively associated with the controller.
The invention in another embodiment thereof is a method of providing animal control. The method comprises applying a pressure pulse wave generating collar to an animal. The animal is monitored and undesirable behavior is identified A pressure pulse wave is directed to the animal when undesirable behavior is detected.
An advantage of the present invention is that a humane negative stimulus may be administered to an animal to deter undesirable behavior. Through the use of a pressure pulse wave, a negative stimulus is applied to the skin of an animal for the correction of undesirable behavior.
Another advantage of the present invention is that the intensity of negative stimulus may be controlled.
Yet another advantage of the present invention is the ease of use of the animal control device.
An additional advantage of the present invention is an animal control device which can operate automatically, i.e., without human intervention.
The above-mentioned and other features and advantages of this invention, and the manner of attaining them, will become more apparent and the invention will be better understood by reference to the following description of an embodiment of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an animal control device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the pressure pulse generator;
FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional perspective view of the pressure pulse generator of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a view orthogonal to that of FIG. 2, shown in partial cross-section of the pressure pulse generator of FIG. 1 prior to the movement of the impactor;
FIG. 5 is the pressure pulse generator of FIG. 3 shown with the impactor in its superior position adjacent in the tip;
FIG. 6 is a diagram depicting the interrelationship of the components of an animal control device according to the present invention; and
FIG. 7 is a diagrammatic view of an animal control device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. The exemplification set out herein illustrates one preferred embodiment of the invention, in one form, and such exemplification is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any manner.
Referring now to the drawings and in particular to FIG. 1, there is shown an embodiment of an animal control device 10 of the present invention. Animal control device includes collar 12 and pressure pulse generator 14. Pressure pulse generator 14 includes enclosure 16 which houses the mechanism by which the pressure pulse generator 14 produces a pressure pulse wave. Extending radially inward from enclosure 16 is probe 18 having tip 20. Collar 12 is adapted to fit around an animal's neck. Collar 12 includes an adjustable strap 21 with buckle 23 permitting collar 12 to accommodate the varying sizes of necks of different animals. Collar 12 is adjustable to permit tip 20 to be in contact with the skin of an animal's throat when collar 12 is securely fastened around the animal's neck. During operation of animal control device 10, a compression wave is generated within probe 18 and proceeds along tip 20. The compression wave leaves tip 20 as a pressure pulse wave is applied to the skin of the animal.
Referring now to FIG. 2, pressure pulse generator 14 is an electronically controlled, pneumatically powered device Pressure pulse generator 14 comprises probe 18, tip 20 and valve 22. In addition, pressure pulse generator 14 contains a battery, gas cylinder, and a pressure reuulator (not shown) The battery, gas cylinder and pressure regulator may be any standard commercial design. The gas cylinder and pressure regulator provide a gas flow at a constant pressure.
Referring now to FIG. 3, gas flow at a constant regulated pressure enters the inlet side of valve 22 through inlet tube 24. Solenoid 26 includes input leads 28 attached to windings 30. Windings 30 encircle bobbin 32 which surrounds sleeve 34 and adjustment slug 36. Bobbin 32 and sleeve 34 are constructed of a non-ferrous material. Sleeve 34 is retained by cover plate 38. The outer diameter of slug 36 may be threaded to mate with sleeve end 40 so that rotation of adjustment slug 36 causes a proportional translation of slug 36 within sleeve 34. Alternatively, adjustment slug 36 may be adhesively bound or press fit onto sleeve 34.
Stem 42 is disposed within sleeve 34 and reciprocates within sleeve 34. Gap 44 is maintained between bottom face 46 of adjustment slug 36 and top face 48 of stem 42. Adjustment slug 36 and stem 42 are constructed of a magnetizable material.
Longitudinally opposite slug 36, stem 42 is enlarged from a boss 50 with recess 52 which retains an elastomeric disk 54. Compression spring 56 applies a biasing force against stem 42 to press elastomeric disk 54 tightly against tubular boss face 57 of orifice plate 58. Orifice plate 58 includes orifice plate bore 60 which runs through orifice plate 58 and is aligned with manifold bore 62 and manifold plate 64. Gas flow from a pressure regulator (not shown) enters valve 22 through tube 24 which is captured in housing bore 66 of housing 68.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, gas flow enters pressure wave generator 70 from manifold bore 62 through coupling bore 72 of coupling 74. Pressure wave generator 70 includes impactor 76 which translates freely within guide tube 78. FIG. 4 depicts pressure pulse generator 70 prior to activation with impactor 76 disposed in guide tube 78 adjacent coupling bore 72. FIG. 5 depicts the pressure pulse generator 70 when a pressure pulse wave is generated. During pressure pulse wave generation, impactor 76 traverse guide tube 78 from its initial position adjacent coupling bore 72 (FIG. 4) to its final position against tip 20 (FIG. 5).
The pressure of gas within guide tube 78 acts against bottom impactor surface 80. As a result of the gas pressure, a force is applied upon impactor bottom surface 80 which accelerates impactor 76 upward within guide tube 78. The outer diameter of impactor 76 is chosen to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of guide tube 78 so that the impactor 76 translates freely within guide tube 78 while providing a minimal gas leakage between impactor 76 and guide tube 78. Impactor 76 attains kinetic energy as it transverse the guide tube 76 from coupling end 82 towards distal end 84 where the impactor strikes tip bottom surface 86 of tip 20.
Tip end face 88 is in contact with the skin of the animal when the animal control device is properly secured to an animal's neck. The surface area of tip end face 88 is a relevant parameter effecting the performance of probe 18. Surface diameters ranging from {fraction (1/64)} to {fraction (3/16)}, preferably between {fraction (3/64)} to {fraction (3/32)} of an inch were found to provide optimal results. As the surface area was reduced below {fraction (3/64)}, possible skin irritation could occur. As the tip surface diameter was increased beyond {fraction (3/32)}, it became difficult to impart sufficient kinetic energy to the impactor to result in an applied pressure pulse of sufficient amplitude to provide adequate discomfort to the animal to discourage difficult to correct behavior such as chasing prey or attacking other animals.
Tip 20 is free to translate within probe 18. Probe compression spring 90 applies a biasing force against tip 20 to hold tip 20 against ledge 92 of tip bore 94. When gas pressure is not applied to impactor 76, tip 20 is retracted within tip bore 94. Outlet 96 allows gas flow from guide tube 78 to exit the pressure wave generator 70 through outlet cavity 98 located between guide tube 78 and pressure wave generator wall 100.
Referring now to FIG. 6, during the operation of animal control device 10, constant gas pressure is supplied by compressed gas cylinder 110 through pressure regulator 120 to valve 22. An operator uses the correction level selector 140 to adjust the level of correction in terms of the amplitude (i.e., the intensity) of pressure pulse to be generated. A consistent or constant gas pressure is supplied to valve 22 prior to valve 22 opening.
Pressure pulse width modulation circuit 150 directs current flow via line 155 to solenoid valve 22. Mechanical pressure pulse generator 70 produces a pressure pulse wave correction stimulus (block 170) having a pulse width corresponding to the correction level selected. The correction stimulus is directed to an animal in the form of a negative stimulus to curb undesired behavior.
Specifically, during operation of the animal control device, a pressure pulse wave of desired width is produced when direct current flows in windings 30 of solenoid 26 (FIG. 3). The current flow creates a magnetic field which magnetizes adjustment slug 36 and stem 42. Slug 36 and stem 42 attract one another and stem 42 is pulled towards the stationary adjustment slug 36, thereby closing gap 44 between slug 36 and stem 42. As stem 42 translates towards slug 36, disk 54 is pulled away from orifice plate 58 thereby allowing pressurized gas to flow from the compressed gas cylinder (not shown) and pressure regulator (not shown) through tube 24 and housing bore 66 through orifice bore 60 and on to manifold bore 62.
The gas flow enters pressure wave generator 70 where the expanding gas imparts kinetic energy to the impactor 76 as the impactor is propelled in guide tube 7S toward tip bottom surface 86 (FIGS. 4 and 5). Gas in guide tube 78 is expelled out through outlet 96, down through outlet cavity 98, and out vent 102 (FIG. 2).
Impactor 76 continues transversing guide tube 78 until impactor 76 strikes tip bottom surface 86 (FIG. 5). A mechanical compression wave is generated as a result of impactor 76 striking tip bottom surface 86. The mechanical compression wave travels along tip 20 from tip bottom surface 86 to tip end 88. The action of the compression wave traveling through tip 20 causes a slight upward (i.e., radially inward relative to collar 12) displacement of tip 20 thereby compressing probe compression spring 90.
When the tip end 88 contacts with an animal's skin, the compression wave leaves the tip 20 as a pressure wave pulse that enters the animal's skin. The pressure wave pulse excites local neurons within the animal's neck. The excitation of local neurons provides a mode of stimulus to an animal to effect correction of an animal's undesired behavior.
When all of the kinetic energy produced in impactor 76 as impactor 76 traverses guide tube 70 has been transferred to tip 20, probe compression spring 90 returns tip 20 to its pre-impact position. Impactor 76 is pushed by the action of tip 20 returning to its initial position and impactor 76 continues to travel away from tip 20 under the influence of the push from tip 20 moving to its initial position.
The intensity of the pressure wave pulse is related to the volume of gas supplied behind impactor 76. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the intensity of the pressure wave pulse applied to an animal by varying the volume of gas supplied behind impactor 76. The volume of gas supplied behind impactor 76 is determined by the length of time solenoid valve 22 is open. The length of time solenoid valve 22 is open is controlled by the length of time a current flow is supplied to solenoid windings 30. The length of time current flow is supplied to windings 30 is operator selectable via correction level selector 140 operatively associated with pulse width modulation circuit 150 (FIG. 6).
The animal control device may be selected to apply a pressure pulse from a maximum pressure wave pulse to a minimum pressure wave pulse. A maximum pressure wave pulse is produced when current flow is supplied to solenoid 22 at a maximum duration. The maximum duration is the length of time sufficient to allow a volume of gas to be introduced behind impactor 76 such that the pressure of the gas remains constant as impactor 76 completely transverses guide tube 78 and strikes tip 20. As the current flow duration decreases from its maximum, the volume of gas introduced behind the impactor becomes insufficient to maintain a constant pressure as impactor 76 moves along guide tube towards tip 20 and the volume behind the impactor increases. The increase in volume behind impactor 76 results in a proportional decrease in gas pressure as impactor 76 transverses in guide tube 78. The resulting force applied by the expanding gas behind impactor 76 similarly decreases with an associated reduction in impactor 76 velocity and kinetic energy at the instant of impact of impactor 76 with tip 20. A lower amplitude compression wave is propagated through the tip 20 with an associated reduction in amplitude of pressure wave pulse applied to an animal's skin. Successive reductions in current flow duration result in proportional reduction in the correction stimulus level.
FIG. 7 depicts a diagrammatic view of one particular embodiment of animal control device 10. Hand held remote 180 is used to set the intensity and to direct a command to apply a pressure wave pulse to an animal to control undesired behavior Hand held remote ISO transmits an RF signal 182 to receiver 184 Receiver 184 sends a receiver signal via line 156 to controller 188. Controller 18S receives the signal over line 186 and outputs a signal via line 190 representing the current flow duration corresponding to the intensity selected via the handheld remote 180. Current flow via line 190 is directed to pressure pulse generator 14 which in turn produces a corresponding pressure wave pulse 194 corresponding to the intensity selected.
In addition, a plurality of sensors may be operatively associated with controller 188. For example, a barking sensor 196 detects an animal's barking as an audio signal and directs a barking signal over line 202 to controller 188 which in turn administers a pressure pulse wave to the animal as a negative stimulus in response to the barking animal.
In addition, animal control device 10 may be sensitive to a wire 206 or a boundary transmitter (not shown) present within an area which is used to confine an animal. For example, if the animal were to stray outside a selected area, or approach a buried wire 206, receiver 184 directs a signal over line 186 to controller 188 which in turn initiates a pressure pulse wave by pressure wave generator 70.
Alternatively, a boundary transmitter (not shown) could be disposed inside an area in which the animal is prohibited. When the animal enters the prohibited area, receiver 184 receives the transmitted signal and a pressure pulse wave is generated as a negative stimulus to the animal. Consequently, the animal's improper behavior of entering a restricted area is deterred. Thus, an animal's behavior may be monitored and controlled without human monitoring.

Twenty years ago the churches in Latin America were viewed as playing a major role in resisting military dictatorships and in developing new revolutionary social models. Recently, attention has shifted to the remarkable growth of Latin American Pentecostal churches. In Brazil, Chile, Guatemala and elsewhere, as many Protestants as Catholics may be in church on any given weekend.
Armed with data from surveys and interviews, Smith skewers the notion that all conservative evangelicals are deeply uncomfortable with American pluralism and eager to impose a fundamentalist Christian worldview.
The Human Stain, by Philip RothThe Day After: A Retrospective on Religious Dissent in the Presidential Crisis, by Gabriel J. Fackre
If we're following Jesus, we can't spend our lives in Galilee. We can't
hide behind the popular myth that religion and politics don't mix.
When Vice President Al Gore picked Joseph Lieberman as his running mate, it was the first-ever selection for a national ticket of a Jewish nominee—and a practicing Orthodox Jew at that. Though in decades past the decision might have been viewed as highly risky, choosing Lieberman was seen quickly as a "plus" for the Democrats.
Religious practice in public
A few days before the 1988 election that sent him to the U.S. Senate from Connecticut, Joseph Lieberman heard an encouraging story from one of his friends.
General Mills recently tucked a CD-ROM containing the Bible into 12 million cereal boxes and then had to issue profuse apologies for having done so as it withdrew the offensive inclusions. GM pleaded not guilty: "we didn't know it was loaded" with scriptures, they said.
Religion and the "shared life"
Politics, Religion, and the Common Good : Advancing a Distinctly American Conversation About Religion in Our Shared Life, by Martin E. Marty with Jonathan Moore
Campaign piety
Republican contenders for president met in Iowa recently to talk about politics and a testimonial broke out. When asked to identify his favorite philosopher-thinker, George W. Bush responded, "Christ, because he changed my heart." Gary Bauer concurred. Senator Orrin Hatch covered the more obvious political bases by naming Lincoln and Reagan, but took care to cite Christ as well.
Analyzing the 2000 election
From the time that George W. Bush declared Jesus his favorite political philosopher to the day Joseph Lieberman joined the Democratic ticket quoting the Book of Chronicles, religion was in the limelight during the 2000 presidential campaign. And when it was all over, Bush entered office amidst a flurry of worship services, clerical blessings and religious consultations.

Where Stress Hides
Jeff Csatari
More Health Lists
Your Gut
Increased stomach acid from stress can churn your gut and loosen your bowels. Stress can even alter the way your body processes fat, causing you to store more of it in your abdomen.
The Fix: Twist yourself into a pretzel and laugh, laugh, laugh. "Laughter yoga" practitioners swear that combining yogic breathing and stretching techniques with forced laughter helps them cope better with life's stresses. Studies have already demonstrated the ability of yoga to ease stress and lower blood pressure. And laughing appears to do the same. For example: Two reports presented at the 2009 American College of Sports Medicine's annual meeting showed that people who watched comedies had more-pliable blood vessels and improved bloodflow for up to 24 hours after the chuckling commenced.

The need for bellringers has never been more critical than this year. The money raised is used to fund a variety of basic human needs that for many families this year will be impossible without our help. Funds that are raised during the bellringing season are used to help people in Tippecanoe County keep the lights and heat on — and food on the table. The money also funds the Salvation Army's family shelter.
Because the Thanksgiving holiday was later this year, there are fewer bell ringing days. As of early last week, bell ringers had collected $34,350; the year-ago figure was $55,000. From October 2012 to the end of September, the Salvation Army served 15,000 people — about 700 more than the year before. 2,942 of them were asking for help for the first time.
It's not too late – the red kettles are located at a variety of retail locations in Lafayette and West Lafayette and at anchor stores in Tippecanoe Mall. If you can't make it to the kettle, simply drop by our office during business hours or mail your gift to us at 1110 Union Street, Lafayette, 47905. Together we can make a difference!

My Ph.D. advisor 15 years ago was a guy named Don Hambrick.
Don's a superb academic and teacher plus a great guy to boot.
He's the world's pre-eminent scholar on the effects of top executives and corporate directors on their organizations. He basically started an area of research 30 years ago which posited that who you put at the top of an organization will have a disproportionate effect on the strategic choices made by that organization and its subsequent performance (both positively and negatively).
Don's built a career showing that a CEO's background (e.g., past companies, functional background, age, past relationships and social connections) affects his or her choices and the company's future performance. Not surprisingly, an executive's past is usually prologue for what he or she will do in the future.
About 10 years ago, Don started studying a new type of CEO: the narcissist.
He – along with several colleagues – found that a more narcissistic CEO was more likely to:
- make more acquisitions,
- pay a bigger premium for those acquisitions,
- spend more on advertising,
- spend more on R&D,
- continue to make big M&A deals even if their recent performance had been poor, and
- lead an organization to more volatile performance (i.e., it would work out really well or be a total disaster).
Don also found out that the more they were praised by the media, the most narcissistic CEOs would make even more big strategic bets — which again sometimes worked out and sometimes were huge flops.
In his newest research, titled "CEO Narcissism, Audience Audience Engagement, and Organizational Adoption of Technological Discontinuities", published in the esteemed Administrative Science Quarterly, with his colleagues Wolf-Christian Gerstner, Andreas Konig, and Albrecht Enders, Don found that more narcissistic CEOs in mature companies with low growth are more likely to make big acquisitions into splashy new high-growth and popular industries.
As I've written about before, Don defines a narcissistic CEO as someone showing the following four personality characteristics:

Sure, some people want to roleplay serious characters and serious situations. Maybe you like roleplaying the fight against Deathwing, or maybe your character has some major issues in their life to work out, or maybe they've got some dire task they need to accomplish. Everyone would like their character to be important and significant within their circle of friends, whether they're playing the hero or playing the villain.
But there's a different class of roleplayer out there who looks at the Warcraft world in a decidedly different way. You know who I'm talking about -- the class clowns, the cut-ups, the jokers. The roleplayers who can't seem to take anything seriously, nor do they want to. After all, we're playing a game! It's a game with giant talking cows, squid-faced spacemen, tragic werewolves and greedy little green guys who would do anything for a buck. Of course these characters are really fun to play ... but what happens when they go too far? How funny is just funny enough without being irritating beyond all reason? How do you roleplay a comic relief character without going overboard?
Creating a comic character
So you'd like to roleplay, but you're much more inclined to crack a joke than talk tragic history, right? You'd rather be fooling around and having fun than defending yourself, your honor, your faction's honor, or the world itself? Awesome! Comic characters are incredibly fun to roleplay, which is only to be expected, considering their lighthearted nature. But there are a few things you should keep in mind when you're creating that type of character.
- Create a cohesive background. Yes, you're making a funny guy or girl. No, you don't have to be as incredibly detailed with their history, and you can certainly pepper it with plenty of amusing tales of mischief. But just because you want to create a comedic character doesn't give you free license on the lore of the game or permission to break it entirely. There's a difference between a wisecracking former resident of Kezan and someone who claims to be the beefy man candy of Sylvanas. While both characters are ripe for amusement, one of them fits within the context of the lore, and the other does not.
- Stay away from the crazy. There's a difference between a character being played for comedy and a babbling madman who spouts off ridiculous words at a moment's notice. Once of these characters interacts with people in a meaningful way, even if it is a comedic one. The other simply spouts funny lines in the air and expects people to fall over laughing. Generally speaking, you want people to react with you, not to you.
- Avoid stereotyping. It seems odd to bring up racism in regards to funny roleplay, especially funny roleplay in a fantasy game, but guess what? It can happen, sometimes. Warcraft races have references to real-world races. If you choose to play up these races as overblown reflections of their real-world counterparts, you run the risk of offending people. Racial jokes aren't really funny, and they shouldn't leak into your roleplay. I'm not talking about the type where you punt a gnome because he is small (although that's awfully overplayed); I'm talking about making your tauren a reflection of every ridiculous and offensive Native American stereotype you can because you think it's funny. Trust me, it's not.
- Keep it real. I don't mean keep it real in the sense of real life, here -- I mean give your character some semblance of genuine character while you are creating him. Making a character to crack jokes and make people laugh is fun enough, but your character should have some real reason for existing in the world beyond telling jokes and being silly. You don't have to give them a dreadfully serious side, but you want to make sure there are moments when that joker comes down to reality, even if they are few and far between.
How to be funny
There's an art to being funny. I'd pinpoint it if I could, but there's no real definition for what is funny and what is not. However, there's a difference between a well-rounded character that tells a lot of really good tales and a character that's been created for the express purpose of trying to be funny. It all comes back to character development with this one, honestly. If you've created your character simply to be as ridiculous as possible, chances are you're not doing it right. If you've created a character with a good backstory that lends itself to humor, that will probably go over better with the rest of the roleplaying crowd.
Probably the best way to give an idea of what's funny is to simply list the things that are not funny.
- Ridiculous outfits or behavior Jokes and stories are all fun, but if a character is dressed in funny gear and wanders around interrupting the roleplay of others with outlandish behavior, it's not likely they're going to go over very well. Simply walking into a bar and boasting about how funny you are isn't really funny at all, nor is trying to grab attention by improvising ridiculous actions.
- Disruptive roleplay In a similar vein, wandering into a group of roleplayers who are in the middle of a serious conversation and demanding the center of attention through jokes is also not going to be received very well. Think of it like wandering into the middle of a funeral for someone you've never met and telling a really raunchy joke. How well would that go over in real life? It's not going to go over very well with other roleplayers, either.
- Expecting attention Everyone wants to be the center of attention, and none more so than the joker. After all, what good is a joke if you've got nobody to tell it to? However, expecting to be the center of attention and demanding that attention never goes over well with other roleplayers. It doesn't matter if you're a comedian or just someone who wants to stir up drama; most people don't appreciate it.
- Begging for a reaction Hand in hand with expecting attention is begging for a reaction to a joke or something humorous that you've done. If you've just told what you think is the funniest story in the history of Warcraft and nobody is laughing, it's likely that the story you just told wasn't really all that funny to begin with. Which leads to the next point.
Going overboard
Playing a villain and playing a joker are oddly enough kind of similar in some respects, and it mainly involves their interactions with other people. Villains have just as much potential for being over the top as comedians do, and for similar reasons; both are being played for the purpose of getting a reaction out of other roleplayers. With villains, you're looking for heroes who want to foil your evil schemes; with comedians, you're looking for people to entertain with your antics. If you don't have someone to play with, roleplaying a villain or a comedian is almost a pointless activity.
However, there is a time for being funny and a time for being serious. Far too often I have seen roleplayers who want to be ridiculous and funny in every situation they are given, with no room for seriousness at all. There is nothing stopping you from this kind of roleplay, but at the same time, many roleplayers really like those serious moments. If all you are offering is slapstick comedy, they may look elsewhere.
Remember, roleplaying is a social activity, and in all that social activity is a series of give and take. You may really enjoy playing a paladin with an overblown sense of importance and the tendency to refer to himself in the third person, but sometimes all another character wants is someone to just have a serious conversation with. If you want to play that greedy goblin who is continually creating schemes à la Wile E. Coyote to create more income, that's fantastic -- but keep in mind that other roleplayers may not be into 24/7 contact with that type of character. Keep it fun, keep it lighthearted, but keep in mind there may be a time where you need to keep it real, too.

Uyo — About 2,504 households from Itu, Orukanam and and Uyo Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom state were destroyed by flood last year, the state's Commissioner for Health, Dr Bassey Antai , has said.
Antai yesterday told a delegation of the task force on flood disaster intervention led by Dr. David Atuwo, at a press conference in Uyo, the state capital, that though the state did not have an organized camp, the displaced persons now reside in churches, schools and other areas, creating over population and health problems.
"Diseases like malaria, diarrhea, upper respiratory diseases and malnutrition were reported in those camps" he said.
The commissioner said though no death was recorded, a team of medical personnel from the ministry were drafted to the camps to help the displaced persons in terms of drugs and food.
He added that about five primary health care centres and one secondary health centre were also affected.

Affiliated with
Adult Medicine Whidden Teaching Service
You will admit patients to the inpatient family medicine teaching service at Cambridge Health Alliance's Whidden campus. The family medicine residency is the only residency in this hospital. The team each month is comprised of a third year, a second year and two first year family medicine residents. A night hospitalist float system is in place. . In rounds or didactic teaching happens daily on the service. "Work rounds" with a family medicine faculty member are conducted with the full team and laptops that have full wireless access to internet, entire Tufts University School of Medicine Library and other electronic resources, promoting an evidence-based approach.
Community Medicine
The Community Medicine curriculum at Tufts University Family Medicine Residency will provide resident physicians with an understanding of the social, economic, and cultural contexts of health and an appreciation of the public health perspective on community well-being. The second year Community Medicine program includes a mix of didactic curriculum sessions as well as scheduled time for meetings with a community agency partner.
Didactic sessions focus on local public health statistics, social determinants of health and disease and the elements of a community health needs assessment. We'll also visit local community agencies, participate in lectures by leaders of Malden community based organizations, and receive a lecture led by Malden High School students centered how to best deliver patient centered care to the youth population.
Practical sessions allow the residents to partner with a local agency to learn about their client population's strengths and needs. Together the resident and agency will collaboratively build a project to help address a broadly-defined health need. Throughout the second year, the resident will work alongside the agency to carry out the project. The outcomes of the community health project will be presented at the Cambridge Health Alliance's annual poster session. Beyond the second year, we also facilitate community medicine clinical electives for senior residents, focusing in areas such as healthcare for the homeless, addiction medicine, and teen health.
The Community Medicine curriculum at Tufts University Family Medicine Residency is responsive to the changing landscape of healthcare delivery. As the healthcare system evolves towards patient-centeredness, there is great value in understanding the greater context of where our patients live and work. This curriculum aims to give the resident exposure to the social determinants of health as well as the community agencies serving their needs.
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)
The Tufts FMR has been awarded a grant by the Weill Foundation which has enabled us to offer the the Integrated Medicine Residency, a rich 200 hour on-line program. Dr. Andrea Gordon, one of our core faculty has a fellowship in integrative medicine and as a resident you rotate with her in her Integrative Medicine clinics where you will learn broad approaches to many typically vexing disease processes. We also have Osteopaths on our faculty who teach osteopathic manipulation. New England School of Acupuncture also works out of our health center twice weekly to offer this valuable service at discounted rates to our patients. At Tufts FMR we believe that integrative medicine should be just that – integrated. So we strive to include teaching on integrative medicine techniques in all our didactics, and teach residents how to use it in their every day practice.
Elective Experiences
You can choose a wide variety of elective experiences for additional training in areas of interest to you. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of our Boston location and train in either community subspecialty office practices or at the many Boston teaching hospitals. Examples of electives residents have taken include family medicine electives in Mexico, Costa Rica and Belgium, an Obstetrics month in Los Angeles, a month at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, and a Geriatrics month at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. Many different international electives are also available, as are rural family medicine experiences.
Emergency Medicine
As a second year resident you will train at our Whidden campus, a busy suburban emergency department that averages more than 33,000 visits annually. Supervised by experienced emergency medicine physicians, you will be involved in the diagnosis and treatment of acute problems and emergencies. Basic and advanced life support prepare you for recognition, evaluation, and stabilization in code situations. Residents interested in more emergency room experience can elect to do an additional emergency medicine month at Whidden or a number of other Boston area hospitals. We also have a third year rotation at Winchester Pediatric Emergency Department where residents work one-on-one with Pediatric Emergency Physicians from Children's Hospital, the top Children's hospital in the world.
Evidence-Based Medicine
The Tufts University Family Medicine Residency at Cambridge Health Alliance is committed to teaching residents and medical students an evidence-based approach to practice. Our Information Mastery Curriculum will teach you not only how to find the best answer to clinic questions, but also prepare you to be life-long learners to stay current and at the top of the field in Family Medicine. You will learn how to quickly access information from multiple sources and become experts at critical analysis of the medical literature. We examine clinical practice guidelines to determine the best clinical practice of our specialty, and have bi-weekly MythBusters conference where we challenge common "medical myths" and clinical questions to see if they hold up to the best evidence available.
Family Medicine Center
"The clinic is the curriculum" is one of our mantras here at Tufts FMR. We've designed our curriculum around the clinic to acknowledge that as family medicine physicians we are outpatient specialists and we believe the most of you residency experience should be in the family medicine center learning from other family physicians and staff. We are involved in numerous collaborative and projects to move us forward in primary care re-design and creation of a Patient Centered Medical Home. Each resident is assigned to a clinical team and serve as the family physician for a panel of patients at the CHA Malden Family Medicine Center, our new building at 195 Canal Street in Malden. Residents facilitate our clinical teams and are involved in group visits, dermatologic and women's health procedure clinics as part of the family medicine center rotations.
At the 164-bed Glen Ridge Nursing Care Center, in Malden, MA, you will be working directly with a family medicine faculty geriatrician. This provides excellent training in this important field, focusing on the skills necessary for good geriatric assessment. Through didactic conferences and workshops in the Family Health Center we address the biology of aging, functional assessment, and prevention, diagnosis, and management of specific conditions such as falls, incontinence, and dementia. You will provide home care as well as care at Glen Ridge to your own patients throughout the last two years of training.
You expand your knowledge through care of patients in community-based gynecologists' offices. At Malden Family Medicine, you will learn colposcopy, endometrial sampling, placement of IUD's, Implanon/Nexplanon and other skills from family medicine faculty. You will also participate in minor and major gynecologic surgery under the direction of a gynecologist.
Intensive Care Unit
This first year rotation at Tufts Medical Center in Boston is a concentrated month of training in intensive care medicine in a tertiary medical center environment, with superb subspecialty consultants and significant exposure to the resources of a top-rated tertiary medical center. This rotation provides residents an unusual breadth of ICU experience.
Medical Informatics
All residents receive an iPhone at entry into the residency. This device simplifies your life by serving as your cell phone and pager with all services paid by the department. Our Family Medicine Center uses EPIC, a state-of-the-art electronic medical record. You will learn how to use computers in your medical practice, to obtain patient information, use the internet, and to access notes from residency conferences, important telephone numbers, and medical texts. Besides regular conferences on medical informatics, computers are used daily throughout the hospital and family health center to rapidly access answers to clinical questions raised in the course of patient care.
Nursery/Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
This first year rotation is a good example of the utility of training in both a community hospital setting and a tertiary medical center. Residents become proficient at performing a normal newborn examination, manage common neonatal disorders such as hypoglycemia, feeding problems, TTN, and hyperbilirubinemia. They also become certified in the Neonatal Resuscitation course and attend resuscitations with neonatologists at Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center.
You will train in both our "home" community hospital at Cambride Hospital as well as Beth Isareal Deconess Medical Center, a high volume tertiary care medical center to gain a breadth of experience in obstetrics. Our fundamental belief is that maternity care is an important part of family medicine residency training, and that family medicine residents should learn it from both obstetricians and family physician faculty. This commitment means that you will follow your own maternity patients at the CHA Malden Family Medicine Center and do your own deliveries and postpartum care with family practice attendings. A large number of Tufts family medicine faculty provide maternity care.
At the end of your first year of residency you and your classmates will take the award winning AAFP course, Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics that focuses on prenatal emergencies, taught by local family physicians. As a second and third year resident you enhance the skills you developed in the first year in a second year rotation and your continuity deliveries.
Second year residents obtain two weeks of obstetrics experience at our Cambridge campus, an extremely busy community hospital site averaging over 1400 deliveries annually. All continuity maternity care patients will also be delivered at Cambridge. Your family medicine faculty along with very supportive community-based family physicians and obstetricians teach prenatal care, management of labor, deliveries, and postpartum care. You will round on normal and high risk patients, follow women in labor, and deliver their babies. This provides appreciation of both normal and complicated labor. You will also learn use of modalities such as ultrasound and nonstress testing and assist at caesarian sections. Weekly teaching conferences at the residency site enhance your learning. Residents interested in training to competency level in obstetrics typically use some of their elective time to pursue other high-volume obstetrical training in a variety of local, national and international settings.
Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
Your Orthopedics rotations emphasize outpatient care. You join orthopedic surgeons in the emergency room, the operating room, and the office to learn diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. You develop a feeling of confidence in handling common orthopedic problems encountered in the family physician's office. This rotation is complemented by formal workshops in casting and splinting, as well as lectures from numerous community-based orthopedic surgeons.
Under supervision by our Sports Medicine Certified Family Medicine faculty, third year residents work with faculty and athletic trainers at Malden High School, Revere High School and local professional sports teams . You will also participate in sideline medical coverage, injury clinics, rehabilitation, counseling, sport related concussion evaluation/management, pre-athletic screening services for schools and corporations. You will apply this knowledge to your patients in the Malden Family Medicine Center and can elect to work as a team physician for local high school sports teams
There is no better example of the benefit of our location and our ability to offer residents the best of both worlds than in Pediatrics. First year residents spend six weeks on an inpatient Pediatrics team at Tufts Medical Center's Floating Hospital for Children in Boston. The quantity and diversity of clinical problems encountered make this an exceptional experience not ordinarily found in community hospital-based residency programs. Supervised by third year Pediatrics residents and pediatrics attending teaching faculty, you have direct responsibility for patient care. First year residents also spend two weeks in the Floating Hospital's newborn nursery, developing expertise in care of newborns as well as performing neonatal resuscitation in the delivery room. You attend the teaching rounds, conferences, and seminars of this outstanding pediatrics residency at Tufts Medical Center.
Because most care of children is done as an outpatient however, experiences in community-based pediatricians' offices is essential. We have a second year rotation working with our Cambridge Health Alliance pediatrician colleagues. We also enjoy a robust (20%) population of pediatrics in our own Malden Family Medicine Center. A regular series of didactics presented by pediatricians and family physicians complete your experience.
Practice Management and Executive Skills
We believe that in today's climate of health reform and change should not longer be focused on training virtuoso violin player physicians, but today's needs call for highly trained orchestra conductors that are capable of creating and managing a highly functioning clinical team. Since our curriculum is centered on our family medicine center, residents become well versed in the process improvement techniques as we strive for continual quality improvement and better patient centered care. Didactics and experiential learning (e.g. serving on improvement committees and facilitating your clinical teams) give you the executive skills you'll need to lead the primary care transformation spreading across the country.
Psychiatry/Behavioral Medicine
Cambridge Health Alliance boasts one of the best integrated primary care – psychiatric/ behavioral health services in the nation. As a first year resident you rotate with a number of our services including our psych emergency room, adult and child psychiatry, behavioral health and addictions. In our own family medicine center we have broad services including adult and child psychiatry, counseling, behavioral medicine including biofeedback and hypnosis. We aim for highly collaborative care so our patients can easily get the mental health care they need in the primary care environment they are comfortable with.
As a second year resident you will attend a week-long course with your classmates in "Clinical Training In Behavioral Medicine" at the Mind/Body Medical Institute of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston. Here you will learn valuable skills you w can use virtually every day to help patients in your practice.
Resident Conferences
The Tufts University Family Medicine Residency has an unusually extensive series of resident conferences, held five days weekly in the residency's Conference Room. Speakers include both family physicians and sub specialists from Tufts and other Boston institutions as well as Cambridge Health Alliance. You will also attend the weekly hospital Grand Rounds which feature nationally- known speakers from Boston and throughout the country. Journal Club and Evidence-Based Medicine seminars are also held monthly at which all residents and faculty discuss and evaluate articles from the recent medical literature. Rotation-specific conferences when on Boston rotations round out your didactic experience.. Because residency can be stressful, and learning to be a doctor stretches all of us we also have conference time set aside for support group and professional development aimed at helping you find your path in this career. Throughout your three years your faculty advisor will meet with you individually to review your progress and support your development. Furthermore, there is regular review and feedback provided by each rotation supervisor based on performance standards. You will also have regular formal reviews of your overall progress each year. Our residents play an integral role in assessment of our residency program's training experiences.
Resident Research
Tufts is recognized as one of the leading research universities in the United States. The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health has an active and productive research faculty who are involved in a broad range of research activities. These include the development of alternative approaches to the prevention of illness and the delivery of health care, nutrition, investigations into methodologies for the analysis of clinical and epidemiologic data, and health policy. For example, research on improving health delivery includes studies on adolescent obesity, public policy on lead poisoning prevention, and tobacco control. Also, the Family Practice Research Network (ReNet), in conjunction with the Massachusetts Academy of Family Physicians, provides the basis for intradepartmental collaboration among residency programs. Research is done in Boston and the Malden campuses.
Cambridge Health Alliance research arm is the Center for Community Health which is a public health research institution doing community based participatory research (CBPR) and other techniques to help promote and study public health in our communities.
During your general surgery rotations the emphasis is on pre-operative and post-operative evaluation and care. Operating room experience in a community hospital setting, working with enthusiastic community-based surgeons provides a great deal of hands-on experience. Without the hierarchy of a tertiary medical center, you will be allowed to do a great deal of assisting at surgery with expert supervision. You work up new patients, write orders in the hospital in consultation with your attending physician, and attend surgical conferences. You evaluate surgical emergencies and learn office-based surgery, in the surgeons' office and at the Malden Family Medicine Center. Many residents also elect to do an additional emergency medicine month in either a community hospital or tertiary setting.

Farmer May Have to Answer to Long Voting History
We've learned this week that one of La Crosse's mayoral candidates has a history that may hurt him in the race. Tim Kabat this week confirmed that he had filed for bankruptcy protection in recent years. We asked his opponent Doug Farmer if there might be a voting history that could come back to bite him after spending decades on the city council, the county board and the school board
Farmer figures he's cast about thirty thousand votes during his time in local government.

Here's the video Jay made of me making blintzes. It has the recipes and shows the steps. We try to keep these video short and fun. I guarantee that if you watch to the end, you'll enjoy Jay's visual joke based on a movie that has nothing to do with Shavuout, except that once upon a time Ben Stiller's ancestors celebrated it.
In the video, I don't explain the connection between Shavuout and blintzes. I do in a previous blog post.
One more thing: I'm not even a blintz fan, and I love these blintzes. Have any blintz-making questions? Ask me.

THE philosophy of technology is a newcomer to the multidisciplinary family that includes the sociology of science and technology, technology policy and some aspects of artificial intelligence. And while Technology and the Politics of Knowledge is not for beginners, it does attempt both to define the field and to locate it in relation to other disciplines.
For editors Andrew Feenberg and Alastair Hannay, one of the key starting points is 20th-century German philosophy. Several papers in this collection also tackle the philosophy of the German existentialist Martin Heidegger, and their authors provide useful views on the content and significance of his reading of technology.
Terry Winograd's paper on Heideggerian artificial intelligence contains the most startling evidence of the philosopher's influence. Computer systems designers at MIT and elsewhere are, he says, describing their activity with concepts borrowed from Heidegger and from Dreyfus's own Heideggerian critique of AI.
Feenberg and Hannay seem ...

News From 91.3 KUWS
Superior honors employees on Worker's Memorial Day
More than 40 people attended a pancake breakfast this morning/ Wednesday to remember those who have been injured or died from work place accidents. Brad Phenow reports.
Worker Memorial Day is a nationwide event that is held on April 28th that began in 1989. This was the fifth annual event held locally in Superior. Union Local 1091 Business Manager in Duluth and Superior City Councilor Dan Olson coordinated the event.
He says it's important to remember the tens of thousands who have been put at risk in the United States. "It's to recognize people that have died in the work place and/or have been greatly injured"
He says in his industry the dangers are clear. "Flagging, where people are on the highways and people don't pay attention to the people trying to keep safety for them. Industrial accidents that are nothing more than an accident."
Superior Mayor Bruce Hagen says it's more than just remembering those who have been injured. "Thank workers in America for all the sacrifices that they put forward every day in their life and their daily job."
He says we need to recognize the dangers in every job. "Most every profession carries its level of danger and issues that could cause injuries or harm to the individual. We need to be mindful no matter where we are, where we work, or where we go with regard to potential of injury or worse than that."
Following the breakfast they planted a tree. Hagen says it holds a special meaning to the event. "Tree planting to renew our life."
The tree was donated by the Superior Federated of Labor in honor all of the workers who have lost their lives or were injured.
