Encino, CA (PRWEB) October 09, 2012
Michel Kohanim, the president of Universal Devices, Inc., a leading manufacturer of affordable, autonomous, Internet-accessible, automation and energy management products and solutions, has been invited to present at the upcoming Emerging Technology Summit 2012, which will be held at the Pasadena Convention Center Ballroom from October 15-17, 2012.
Mr. Kohanim, who will join the panel for the "Demand Response for the Masses" session on Tuesday, October 16 from 10:30-11:30am PT, will outline the characteristics of an energy management system that addresses the need for effective communication between Smart Grids and in-premise devices, and the importance of empowering customers and respecting their bottom-line.
"A Smart Grid will not be very smart if the grid cannot effectively communicate goals and expectations to in-premise devices," commented Mr. Kohanim. "In addition, consumers will not be very happy with a totalitarian grid that forces them into certain actions contrary to their level of comfort, as well as budgetary considerations. All of these criteria have been met and integrated into our 994i Z and 994i ZS series energy management and automation systems, respectively."
Summit attendees who wish to schedule a meeting with Mr. Kohanim during the event, or who wish to receive a complimentary copy of his presentation, can email business_relations (at) universal-devices (dot) com or call 818-631-0333.
"It's my privilege to be part of the Demand Response for the Masses panel," added Mr. Kohanim. "With the current segmented manner in which demand-response and grid-to-premise communications are implemented, I fully support the ET Summit's vision in starting this very important discussion."

Ann Coulter calls Newt Gingrich and Liz Cheney Republican 'shysters'Add to Favorites | Hannity
Ann Coulter appeared on Sean Hannity's Fox News program, "Hannity" to discuss the first chapter of her new book, "Never Trust a Liberal Over Three -- Especially a Republican."
During one of her trademark head-spinning rants, Coulter tells Hannity the first chapter of the book addresses the "hucksters, shysters, and people ripping off the Republican party for their own self-aggrandizement, for their own egos, and to make money." Not only that, but she's naming names: Newt Gingrich, Liz Cheney, Todd Akin and Mark Sanford.
Hannity immediately picks a fight with Coulter over whether Cheney is one of the a "shysters" throwing the GOP under the bus.
Coulter says the "people looking for TV shows" are effectively sabotaging the GOP's House and Senate elections for the sake of their own egos.
"Every time Republicans lose, for whatever reason, somehow it's the pro-lifers who get blamed," Coulter says, before adding that "it varies from race to race, and conman to conman."
Coulter says there is also a chapter in her book on Christianity, and another on Amanda Knox. Will you read it?

Almost any real application needs to store data, and usually that means using a relational database. In the real world, building an application that uses a database is a complicated, even messy business. Complicated and messy mean slow and inefficient. This presentation is about the libraries, tools, techniques and workflow for developing AIR SQLite applications (learned through lots of trial and error) that help me work faster and better.
7:00pm - 7:15pm : Announcements
7:15pm - 8:30pm : Adobe AIR SQLite Development in the Real World
8:45pm - 9:00pm : Open Question and Answer
Drinks and Meetup Afterwards
Always, make sure to RSVP and spread the word!
UTD Campus Map: http://www.utdallas.edu/map/ You will notice in the bottom right the building marked "SOM". That is the School of Management (also shown in the legend).
Building Map to SOM 1.502 http://www.utdallas.edu/locator/?externalKey=LocSOM_1.502
Once on UTD:
Make sure to enter the school via "University Drive" on Campbell Road. From this main drive you will get to the courtesy officer and be able to get a parking pass.
You can park in Lots J, Q, or M (around the building) as long as you park in a "Green" or "White" space. The curb and bumpers at the school are painted the colors. This information the parking officer will also give you when you head on campus through the main entrance - through University, shown at the bottom of the map.
Once in the SOM (there are no time restrictions on the doors) there are signs and directions to the different numbered classrooms from any entrance, at that point it should be very easy.

On Notice: Week 3
- My father didn't wear the shirt to the Miami game.
- The sun got the message and went away like whoah
- Antonio Bass' traitorous knee doesn't seem like quite so enormous a deal after Dual Threet looked like an actual quarterback Saturday.
- Eagles Fans in Maize get off the board but project to return after Wisconsin.
- West Virginia has finally come around on Bill Stewart.
- Me, for completely forgetting this feature last week. If I do it again I'll have to be dead to me, which will be interesting.
- Ball oilers of South Bend. Hur hur hur. Actually, no: seriously, what's with the oily ball, South Bend?
- Incredibly Surprising Quarterback Draws. I'm done with these until Carlos Brown can run more than one play here. Also: Threet.
- Carson Butler. Line of the week came from commenter tbliggins in reference to the St. Patrick's Day Nerd Massacre: "Maybe Butler finally found the correct guy that asked to use his iron." +1. As for Carson: don't hit people, yo.
- The lack of sun. Dude, sun, you just don't do shades of gray on gameday, do you?
- The general bloodymindedness of the universe. *#@$ me, universe. Seriously? Are we seriously about to throw down?
- The 4-3 against a spread. Still not a fan, but probably will be against the Illini.
- Spain.
Unverified Voracity Has A Deal For You
Roh! Though it comes with the promise of headline puns so horrible (Ruh Roh! or something about Rohing your boat, for example) that brains across the Midwest threaten to explode at the mere possibility, AZ DE Craig Roh will commit to a college tonight at 6:30 on ESPNU. If a guy commits on ESPNU, does he make a noise? We're about to find out. Probably the answer is yes.
As for the answer to "where will he go," all I can say is Sam Webb said something along the lines of "I am extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely confident" a couple days ago on WTKA, give or take an "extremely."
The peripherals are certainly encouraging: USC was thought to be the main competition but Roh took an unofficial to Arizona State instead of an official to USC last weekend. Meanwhile, the Trojans got Nick Perry in at the last second, which dims their depth chart's star in Roh's eye. He was scheduled to visit UCLA this weekend before suddenly deciding to decide.
So: probably good news.
You, you with the #38 jersey and diamond top hat. You're never going to believe your friggin' luck. No, seriously. This, my friend, is your lucky day.
Your lucky day.
BAM. Hey, I know what you're thinking: "a framed photograph of a pretty good but not exactly awe-inspiring kicker, I'd probably shell out at least 40 grand for that."
Well, let me tell you, man, this is your lucky day: just 170 bucks. It's hot, but it's not stolen!
(Via HSR)
Hey, remember when? I don't know what's weirder about this clip provided by a helpful reader: a future vice presidential candidate doing TV sports or Michigan basketball being notable enough to be discussed in Alaska. Relevant section comes after the dog racing:
Please, no politics discussion in the comments, as that only leads to doom.
Oh, Charlie. Classic Weis:
"I think the message I wanted to say to them before we went out of the locker room is, 'Today's the day you make the change,'" Weis said. "I'd like to sit there and take the kudos, but it wasn't me, it was the players."
Please attempt to imagine any other football coach in the world saying that.
Life on the margins sucks, yo. Anyone even vaguely familiar with Dr Saturday's brilliant Life on the Margins series knew that Michigan would figure prominently in this week's edition, and it is so:
Mr Hinton recaps the various pratfalls and sums up:
loss or not, Michigan should come away feeling better about its prospects for the season than it did after either of its first two games. Notre Dame's offense didn't do much when not handed a readymade scoring opportunity, and Michigan's offense, when not dropping the ball on the ground, looked like a functional unit for the first time, with a viable quarterback in Steven Threet and a potential star in Sam McGuffie. And there's no way they lose four fumbles again in a single afternoon.
This echoes the "Fluck" post from Monday; I co-sign except for the "now way they lose four fumbles again" part. Because: seriously.
For posterity. Because I just know there will be snarky newspaper articles going "lol internet" after Michigan ceases its reign of suck, I just want to note this lolmsm piece from the Monroe Evening News:
Well, Rich Rodriguez certainly has lowered the bar. After a 1-2 start, Michigan football fans searching for something are relegated to pointing out that the Wolverines have improved every week.
That's not saying much. Michigan was horrible in its season-opening loss to Utah. It struggled to beat less-than-mediocre Miami (Ohio) last week, a team that is tied for last place in the Mid-American Conference.
Indeed, Miami(Ohio) is tied for last place at 0-0. It goes on from there. It's vastly stupid and knee-jerk and all that. It did not come from the internet. I'm going to collect these.
Meanwhile in Cheeseland. Jonathan Casillas given a DUI after blowing a .15 and draws no suspension. Not that this is surprising since Bret Bielema has shown tremendous reluctance to suspend players for anything short of instigating thermonuclear war, but surely there has to be some Wisconsin-based Sharp ready to proclaim the downfall of western civilization. Actually, no: as of yet there's zero media reaction.
Also, Casillas was on a moped. This is in and of itself hilarious, but two years ago another Wisconsin linebacker, Elijah Hodge, was arrested for stealing a moped. So, like… wow. Mopeds.
It's alive. The Big Ten Network was a money sink last year, but not this year:
Murdoch said that its college sports channel—the Big Ten Network—cost about $83 million to launch. But in the past few months the network has reached distribution deals with most of the major cable operators—it signed deals with Comcast and Time Warner in June and August—and is expected to report a small profit this year.
Now just imagine if they got actual advertisements on the BTN.
Etc.: Zoltan profile on the official site. (Via MVictors.)
Mostly Old Mailbag!
Sometimes I am lame and don't answer questions in a timely fashion. So some of this stuff makes no the sense, as I meant to post this up before the ND game. Bear with me.
Why do our quarterbacks clap to initiate the play?. Is a traditional snap count something Rod has done away with to simplify the offense or is this just a feature of his spread? Our o-line is a weakness as it is, I don't think we need to make it any easier on opposing defenders...
Mike S
I'm just as puzzled about the clapping as you are. The process appears to be:
- The offense sets.
- The quarterback raises his leg like you see most NFL QBs do in the shotgun.
- The QB checks with the sideline for a new play.
- QB claps, center snaps.
I'm pretty sure Michigan isn't using no snap count whatsoever, it's just that the count is silent. DEs don't have license to time the snap with impunity. There will be variable pauses between the clap and the snap.
Michigan lines up in a set, ready-to-snap position to force the defense to reveal its formation, but after they go to the sidelines you'll see a lot of shifting by the D, making the first read of questionable value. Michigan hasn't snapped it after the first ready-snap signal yet… why? It would seem a good opportunity to catch the opponent napping.
I chalk it up to inexperience with the offense; I assume we'll see it later this year and in future years when Rodriguez isn't working with the equivalent of all freshmen.
Hey Brian,
How worried should we be that Rodriguez seems to be using too many scholarships on 3-star backs and receivers when we're in pretty severe need of, say, linebackers, DEs and O-linemen? I guess he probably knows what he's doing, but I feel like somebody needs to tell him, "hey, you're Michigan now, you can recruit sweet players at positions of need. And if you're going to stockpile that many skill guys on offense, you can at least get the good ones."
John Eagal
This email is a little old and was written before the Lalota commitment, but the point still stands. Until I knock it down. Michigan's three star skill commitments are:
- Teric Jones, who a lot of people think will move up.
- Vincent Smith. Smith is like 5'8 or 5'6", so he's not going to get high guru rankings unless he's ridiculous a la Noel Devine. But he's a fit for the spread at a spot (slot/RB) where Michigan needs more numbers.
- DeWayne Peace. Peace was the one camp offer/commit this year. Michigan usually got a few of these guys under Carr, so that's not out of line. Peace is also a potential corner.
That doesn't seem out of line when you consider that Michigan has a solid four-star RB in Fitzgerald Toussaint and a top-100 WR in Bryce McNeal. And no tight ends, ever again.
Meanwhile, Michigan is on track for a Lalota-Jones-Campbell-Roh DL (which reads excellent-good-sick-excellent in terms of guru hype and offers). They've got four-ish LBs in the class. And they'll be graduating no offensive linemen.
At this point the biggest needs are in the secondary, where Michigan has one excellent prospect in JT Turner and will probably pick up three-star safety Thomas Gordon but needs another two guys, and on the OL, where you'd like to see them acquire one or two more guys.
Hi Brian,
I have a question for you. I have located lists of things to do or see when I have been going to a couple of other colleges to watch games (Notre Dame, Michigan St), but I haven't ever seen a list of things to do or see when you are going to a Michigan game, other then at Maize N Brew, and I can't eat that much pizza. I had a great time touring around Notre Dame and walking around State before the Michigan/State game last year.
I am wondering if you can give a bit of help to a Canadian who is a big Michigan fan, but has yet to see many of the game day festivities on his trips to the big house, other then the stadium itself and saline rd. Any advice?
This email so old that I think this guy may have come and gone, but it's a good question anyway. I have a Visitors Guide to Ann Arbor in the works that has an ETA of 2009; for now I suggest checking out Arbor Wiki for a general overview of stuff and (debatably accurate since they don't have an entry that says STAY AWAY FROM "MONKEY BAR" AT ALL COSTS) restaurant/bar recommendations.
Personally, I don't really know much in the way of what goes on for gameday festivities because my routine since time immemorial has been to go to my family tailgate. Can commenters/emailers help?
Via Mike Krautner comes this summary of the Orin Incandenza action from the first two games:
Below is a list of of the yards for each of our opponents 14 punts this season:
52, 38 (but to the Michigan 11 yard line), 36 (touchback), 59, Blocked, 48, 50, 56, 55, 53, 74, 35 (but to the Michigan 10 yard line), 58, 46.
What a nightmare for a team with an awful offense (and a clueless punt returner).
And, finally, there's no way to post this without ripping off Bill Simmons:
Yes, someone got a custom-made MGoOnesie for their baby. I have to say it: yep, these are my readers.
Blogpoll Week 3
|Southern Cal (65)
|Oklahoma (2)
|Florida (1)
|Penn State
|South Florida
|Texas Tech
|Brigham Young
|East Carolina (1)
|Wake Forest
|Ohio State
|Oklahoma State
|West Virginia
Total Ballots: 70
Well, it was nice knowing you, Ohio State. OSU takes the pipe, USC takes #1 by a vast margin, and the rest of the shakeout is pretty interesting. Though the preseason AP and Blog polls were nearly identical, three weeks in we have some large discrepancies:
- The BP is way more enthusiastic about #9 Penn State (#16 AP), #21 Vandy (UR AP), #22 Oklahoma State (UR AP)
- The BP is down on #15 Auburn (#10 AP), #18 OSU (#13 AP), and #25 West Virginia (#21 AP).
Last week the BP was much higher on ECU (then #10) than the AP (then #14) was, but enthusiasm scaled back after a narrow win against Tulane.
Wack Ballot Watchdog
I've again omitted anything from the resume zealots, such as "Texas #24". We know the reasons behind these votes and as such they aren't "wack."
- ARRGH THIS IS WHY YOU POST YOUR BALLOTS FOR REVISION ON MONDAY: Buffs.tv has South Carolina #1. Wrong SC.
- To the four guys voting for Tennessee… really? I mean, seriously? Similarly… Cal voters?
- From Old Virginia shot Nebraska up to #11, three spots higher than any other voter and one of only three voters to place the Huskers above #20, after NU beat—woo!—New Mexico State.
- Except for couple resume zealots who have the Tigers lower, Garnet and Black Attack's ranking of #20 for LSU is five spots worse than any other voter.
- Georgia #18 is weird even for a resume zealot (Rakes of Mallow in this case), especially since they have a win over an actual half-respectable SEC team and a similar team (Vandy) that had a narrower win over the same freakin' team ends up #12. WTF.
- Fulmer's Belly: dinging Arizona State one spot for a loss against UNLV seems generous.
There's still not much because we have little data. Extracurriculars after the jump.
Now on to the extracurriculars. First up are the teams which spur the most and least disagreement between voters as measured by standard deviation. Note that the standard deviation charts halt at #25 when looking for the lowest, otherwise teams that everyone agreed were terrible (say, Eastern Michigan) would all be at the top.
Ah, Texas Tech, atop your familiar highest standard deviation throne. Play someone ever, please. Meanwhile, pay no attention to the "lowest STDEV" please: the Buffs.tv vote above throws it off like whoah.
Ballot Math
First up are "Mr. Bold" and "Mr. Numb Existence." The former goes to the voter with the ballot most divergent from the poll at large. The number you see is the average difference between a person's opinion of a team and the poll's opinion.
This will probably be the end of DocSat's iron-fisted grip over one of the top two spots as voters start moving towards ranking by resume, but not yet. I can go into ballot oddities if you like, but you know the story already: voting exclusively by results on the field in the first few weeks is an exercise in wild swings and weird rankings:
- ECU #2, BYU #4, USF #6, Vandy #9
- Utah and Notre Dame living at #11 and #12 off victories over a distinctly non-vintage Michigan team.
- LSU #24, OU #13, OSU gone.
I should probably just denote resume zealots early in the year and have a separate table for them, eh?
I never have much to say about Mr. Numb Existence since by definition the winner of the award has submitted a ballot closely in line with the poll as a whole. And this is the one award that goes to a sane voter instead of an extremist. And I'm a bit concerned that people will think all publicity is good publicity. So, new feature: Mr. Numb Existence gets a good recent post highlighted.
Our inaugural Suck Up To The Sane people recipient is Third Saturday in Blogtober, which is a weird concept blog based around the Tennessee-Alabama rivalry. It covers both schools and is the kind of blog that actually seeks out painful moments from years past to relive; TSIB knows that pain is part of college football fandom. They've just dredged up a horrible, horrible moment from Vol history:
You've experienced it. It's the moment when you stare ahead but you can't really see anything. You know there's noise around you, but you just hear a hum. Movement is everywhere, but you don't notice.
Fourteen seconds. Dead silence. Players celebrating. Game-winner. Throat-slash. Dropped ball.
That's all that fit in my small mind as I watched from the sideline.
It's known simply as "The Catch" to Tennessee fans - Sept. 16, 2000.
Tennessee fans get their catharsis… Bama fans get their schadenfreude… all in one place!
Next we have the Coulter/Krugman Award and the Straight Bangin' Award, which are again different sides of the same coin. The CKA and SBA go to the blogs with the highest and lowest bias rating, respectively. Bias rating is calculated by subtracting the blogger's vote for his own team from the poll-wide average. A high number indicates you are shameless homer. A low number indicates that you suffer from an abusive relationship with your football team.
The CK Award could not claim a third straight victim, as Auburn beat Mississippi State 3-2, but hey, man, do you doubt this thing's power? Just place the words "3-2 victory over Mississippi State" in your head with your favorite team in place of Auburn and see how you like it. That's what I thought. This thing is evil. I give it 4/5 CKs for its performance last weekend.
Meanwhile, this week I believe we have a first: a non-BCS team taking the award. Block U has the temerity to rank Utah #13. Some mitigating factors: this is a bit high but the margin here isn't in the outrageous range, Block U also has hated rival BYU a spot ahead of the Utes, and that vote isn't even the highest for the school in question. In the past these things have sometimes let a CK victim off the hook.
There's a dangerous game ahead for Utah: a roadie against Air Force.
Rope-a-dope wins the Straight Bangin' award as Buckeye Commentary completely excises Ohio State from its ballot. This is a common coping mechanism for FAIL teams that have performed FAIL poorly the previous FAIL week. FAIL.
Meanwhile, Bruce Ciskie is way down on the Badgers despite their tough road win over Fresno State. Rationale (we can have rationales?):
With all due respect to their win at Fresno State, this might be the worst top-ten team in the history of the major polls. They're just not very good on defense, with too much of a penchant for missed tackles, bad angles to ball-carriers, and blown assignments. Fresno couldn't take advantage because of an inaccurate kicker and some key drops. Teams like Penn State, Ohio State, and even Michigan State won't make those mistakes as much once we're in the teeth of the Big Ten season.
While I can't sign up for "worst top ten team in the history of the major polls" because there has to be some 4-6 Notre Dame team out there claiming a national title, that's a damning assessment from an actual Wisconsin fan.
Swing is the total change in each ballot from last week to this week (obviously voters who didn't submit a ballot last week are not included). A high number means you are easily distracted by shiny things. A low number means that you're damn sure you're right no matter what reality says.
I'm all in favor of these massive swings from the resume zealots since they all represent their ballots coming more in line with those of the poll at large. Here, Saurian Sagacity's strict tier system of voting improves massively from week two to week three. Here is an award. You are Manic-Depressive.
Sometimes the Mr. Stubborn winner isn't all that stubborn, it's just freakishly prescient. This is the case this week, as RazorBloggers already had USC at #1, USF pretty high, Kansas, ASU, UCLA, and Cal pretty low, ECU right around where they fall in the poll at large. It's more amazing Kreskin than Mr. Stubborn.
Mizzourah is also is in a similar boat with extreme skepticism of the Pac-10 and Ohio State serving him well; oddly, they go from one of the poll's most negative OSU voters (#8 last week) to one of its more optimistic ones (#13 this week).
Hello: Brandin Hawthorne
Though Hawthorne is literally OMG shirtless above, he is not metaphorically OMG shirtless. Everyone's like "eh… meh." This is because they see him as a project. He's not that tall and not that big at the moment; to perform in college he'll have to bulk up considerably. The two-sentence review:
Brandon Hawthorne -- Another small but athletic linebacker prospect, Hawthorne's body type will enable him to add some weight pretty easily. … He covers ground in a hurry at linebacker and looked good in drills.
Rivals echoes:
STRENGTHS: Speedy outside linebacker has good speed to the ball. He can rush the passer, using his quickness and athleticism.
WEAKNESSES: Hawthorne is undersized and needs development in the weight room. Can get lost sometimes at the point of attack.
And so does ESPN, although they're more enthusiastic($):
Hawthorne possesses all the physical tools for a college program to mold into a disruptive perimeter player at the next level if they are patient with his development. He can run, close, and hit and has incredible upside. Tall, rangy frame with a very long wingspan; should play at close to 225-pounds at next level while retaining his good play speed and athleticism.
After some more of the usual about needing to add strength and bulk, they finish with a flourish: "Hawthorne is greatly underrated and is a definite late bloomer with a ton of natural gifts to develop at the next level." Calling someone "underrated" when you're doing the rating seems odd, but whatever. Maybe they're talking about Scout and Rivals.
Pahokee QB and Gator WR commit Nu'Keese Richardson—who plans to visit M with Hawthorne and Smith on Hawthorne:
"I've never seen anyone hit like Hawthorne, even [2008 Florida recruit] Janoris [Jenkins]," Richardson said. "Brandin Hawthorne will make you think twice about coming his way."
Cornerback Willie Hickman:
''Brandin's a monster,'' Hickman said. ``He goes 100 percent -- the whole play, the whole game -- he's just a monster. It's good to have him on your team. You don't have to sit around and wait for somebody else to make the play, because he's going to make the play.''
Aaand he's got something in common with Charlie Weis:
Hawthorne is a 6-foot-0, 185-pounder, who goes by the nickname "The Animal" because of the tenacity he plays with.
Many people question his size, but he has a message for the doubters:
"Don't let size fool you," Hawthorne said. "There's a grown man inside me."
Smith's decision came down to Louisville and Michigan; he also had offers from South Florida, Tennessee, Kansas State, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. A respectable set.
Hawthorne, a linebacker, recorded 80 tackles last year, including 31 for a loss.
Fake! Fake! Fa—
Hawthorne is 6-2 and 200 pounds and runs the 40 in 4.6 seconds.
Actually, that seems almost feasible. In fact, we've got an electronic time from a Scout camp. Survey says:
At 6-feet and 185 now, he ran a 4.72/40 and jumped 36 inches.
That was in April; more recent reports have him around 200 or even higher.
Nothing out there, unfortunately.
Despite the fact he'll enroll early, Hawthorne seems like a holy lock for a redshirt what with the whole add-bulk-add-bulk-add-bulk trifecta from the scouting services. Also, GBMW notes that he plays a standup end position at Pahokee and probably has little idea what to do in pass coverage. Past that it's a crapshoot. He's rated where he is for a reason, but that reason is "obvious project with major upside" instead of "meh," so there's reason to hope he blows up under the tutelage of the Great and Holy Barwis.
Possibly off base socioeconomic thingy: Pahokee is poor and the kids from it are tough guys who play football as a way to get out, so he might have a better shot of reaching that ceiling than your average bear.
One other note: though Hawthorne may be undersized in the realm of traditional run-stuffing linebacker sorts, one way in which teams are defending the spread is by stockpiling these OLB/S hybrids. Hawthorne sounds like that sort of player.
I don't want to see Hawthorne on the field for at least two years, but I think he's got a better shot at being a major contributor than your run-of-the-mill three star.
With the loss of OLBs Marcus Witherspoon and Taylor Hill the position went from a minor need to a major one; Hawthorne helps mitigate that. Safety commits Isaiah Bell and Mike Jones are both reputed to be future linebackers, too. Three is probably enough; I think they're done unless Jelani Jenkins wants to sign up. They might take another OLB sort if they think one of the safeties can stick in the secondary.
Michigan is still recruiting a couple of inside linebackers: NC LB Hawatha Bell has M in his top four and plans a visit, and Michigan just shot an offer out to FL LB Mike Marry.
Both Hawthorne and teammate Vincent Smith plan on taking visits elsewhere, something the staff is apparently aware of:
"Michigan isn't worried about us visiting other schools, they just said to keep Michigan No. 1," Smith said.
Blogpoll Ballot Week 2 (Draft)
|Southern Cal
|East Carolina
|Penn State
|Brigham Young
|Wake Forest
|South Florida
|Texas Tech
|Ohio State
|Fresno State
|West Virginia
Carnage in the Pac ten rips three schools from well up the poll to out of it, but ASU's got a couple wins over meh teams and a loss to UNLV, Cal got housed by a team that lost to MTSU, and UCLA lost 59-0.
Major jumps for:
- USF, for beating a legit opponent
- Wisconsin, for doing so on the road whilst getting hosed by the refs
- Florida for no apparent reason
- BYU for hosing UCLA
- Utah and Wake Forest for no apparent reason.
Descents were mostly for obvious reasons: playing bad against bad teams like South Carolina or Mississippi State. I think I should have dinged ECU, maybe, and will do so in a revised ballot.

Following the release of redsn0w for iOS 5, @iH8sn0w has released a new version of sn0wbreeze, which also supports the first beta version of Apple's upcoming software update. The news hit the Web hours ago, via @iH8sn0w's Twitter account.
As outlined in sn0wbreeze's release notes, the jailbreak tool supports the following devices:
- iPhone 3GS
- iPhone 4 [GSM]
- iPhone 4 [CDMA]
- iPod Touch 3G
- iPod Touch 4
- iPad 1G
If you're interested in using the redsn0w alternative, simply head over to this website for download links: http://ih8sn0w.com/sb28b1. Obviously, a pre-release version of iOS 5 is required – which is why these jailbreak solutions are for developers only. The good news for us, however, is that this means jailbreak developers can get to work creating some Notification Center widgets for us all to enjoy, when the final version of iOS 5 becomes available.
For more information on iOS 5, be sure to check out our tag archive.

September 17, 2011
Following the Commission for the Blind meeting, Chair Beth Butler opened the State Rehabilitation Council meeting.
Approval of Minutes
A motion was made by Brenda Savage, seconded by Richard Oliver and carried to approve the minutes of the June 11, 2011 meeting.
Committee Reports:
Policy and Procedures Committee
Mary Flanagan gave a brief update on the 2 rules we are making rule changes to. There is a rather lengthy and involved process to make an amendment to an existing rule. DSB identified the need to amend 2 of our rules. One is related to the Economic Need Policy. DSB put in place a temporary amendment 2 years ago when we received the ARRA funds. DSB opened the rule up so assistive technology devices, post-secondary education, book and supplies could be paid for regardless of an economic need. These services were being paid for through ARRA funds. Now, DSB is in the process of making it a permanent rule change. DHHS has approved this change but the legislature requires an impact analysis to determine the level of economic impact at the state, county, and local level. Then, it is sent to OSBM, Office of Administrative Hearings, and rules Review Commission.
The second rule change relates to the Economic Need and the federal poverty level. Up until now, DSB has not verified income. As a result of a recent audit, it was recommended that DSB start verifying income.
Cynthia Speight also commented that our new system, BEAM, will require lots of business practice sessions but very few policy changed. John Marens also commented that this system is light years ahead of anything anyone is using at this point.
State Plan Committee—Dave Arthur
DSB's State Plan was submitted by July 1 and it was approved.
Brenda Savage volunteered to serve on the State Plan Committee.
Consumer and Information Committee—Joann Wood and Julie Kagy
Joann Wood explained to the new members that at the end of each quarter, DSB sends a satisfaction survey to every successful employment outcome and to those that were closed without an employment outcome. Our return rate varies from 21% to 42%. This information is distributed to our district offices.
Old Business
New Business
Chair Butler reminded everyone that October is Disabilities Awareness month.
Adjournment of State Rehabilitation
The State Rehabilitation Council meeting adjourned at 12:20 p.m.

Illustration: Host of illustrators draw facts to mark launch of new publishing venture
It's a long acknowledged online truth that cats mean clicks. But if you were drawn in by Tom Edwards' cute kitties above then prepare to be shocked; Tom's drawing is a representation of the fact that Egyptian pharaohs were buried with 38 cats. This grisly feline tidbit is one of many such morsels collated by the creators of a new publishing service The Book Of Everyone, a website and app whereby you can order a personalised book for someone you love (or hate. But that'd be weird).
You submit the person's name and date or birth and an algorithm searches through a huge database of miscellany to find relevant facts and figures. So if your mate is 32, they might find out that's the same age Alexander The Great died or that so far in their life they have shed 15.4 litres of water while crying. You get the idea.
Anyway ahead of the launch at London's KK Outlet on January 30, the creators of The Book of Everyone have commissioned some of our favourite creative talent – including Kyle Platts, Damian Poulain, Ian Stevenson and Patrick Kyle – to illustrate some of the weird and wonderful entries in their database. I'm a particular fan of Jean Jullien's eco-terrorist, complete with dynamite and little else.

Skinny kitchen island – to do or not to do?
The other day I was discussing the pros and cons of an island in a long narrow kitchen with a client. Generally, I think if the best you can do is squeeze a 24″ wide island into a skinny room, you risk making the kitchen feel like couple of corridors, instead of a coherent space. But, like all rules, this one is probably made to be broken – at least in some cases:
This one's really narrow, but at least it makes space for a real seating area on the other side. The layout is a little at odds with that lovely ceiling though, isn't it? (via)
The next two photos show the island standing in for one wall of a galley kitchen – yes, the space outside the kitchen is just circulation, but when the kitchen is the link from one space to another, this works really well as a way to keep traffic out of the work area. It's well worth sacrificing the upper cabinets that could have been on that wall for this kind of open feeling, don't you think? (found here and here)
In the room below, this island is clearly where it is because of the windows. It's not a conventional layout, but I bet it's a great space to cook in. (via) I guess I've just proved to myself that I don't mind the kitchen being two corridors, as long as one of them leads somewhere, or has a great view.
Should I throw away my "rule" about skinny islands?

Super-fast broadband for Workington homes next year
Last updated at 20:15, Thursday, 22 March 2012
Workington will benefit from super-fast broadband from next spring.
BT announced on Tuesday that nearly 10,000 homes and businesses in Workington will benefit from the high-speed technology as part of a £2.5 billion roll-out across the UK.
Workington MP Tony Cunningham welcomed the news.
He said: "It is good news for people to make sure their home computers are up to speed, for businesses to help their development and growth, and is good for investment in the area because investors will be demanding super-fast broadband."
When Workington is upgraded next spring people can expect speeds of 80Mbps, with the option to increase this to 300Mbps with significantly faster upload and download speeds.

I wonder if Seaton is included in this roll out.
And whens it coming to Maryport :-( Excellent news for Workington! lucky buggers

Google to Gmail users: Forget about privacy. It's so dead!
Here's a report from The Guardian. Yep, it's that same UK online news site that's been making headlines for more than a month.
The report cites a court filing by Google in which the Internet giant revealed that Gmail users should have no expectation of privacy. None. The thing does not exist.
In the court filing, Google makes the claim that:
Just as a sender of a letter to a business colleague cannot be surprised that the recipient's assistant opens the letter, people who use web-based email today cannot be surprised if their communications are processed by the recipient's ECS [electronic communications service] provider in the course of delivery.
Ok, I thought a mail server or service is just supposed to deliver email, not read it. Or as Google puts it, process it. In any case, this should not be news to anybody. However, for those that didn't know already, here's breaking news – engrave it on your spleen: If you use Gmail, forget about privacy. Google says you should have known that right from the beginning. And if there's no privacy with Gmail, good luck with that email service from Microsoft, Yahoo! mail and all the others.

When the internet came into existent, we lost our privacy…everyone can find anything about you on the
internet. Welcome to the new world of no privacy!
Of course Google will not consider privacy because they want to know everything about you so they can bombard you with advertisements.
No need to have The Guardian explained to me. I've known for a long time that it's the UK version of "The National Enquirer". Newspaper is kind of a strong description for this publication. It is fun reading tho. 😀
Just to stay on topic, you have to look at the source of the information. I do think that there is a grain of truth in the story but not to the extent of The Guardian's claims. Anyway encrypted mail services are not fairing too well these days. That's sad in it's own right.
Hey Ed,
I just came across this and I have to respond. You might not like the political leanings of the Guardian newspaper but it is downright deceitful to equate it with The National Enquirer. That's just plain ugly for you to try to disparage the newspaper like that. Obviously you must be one of those "Fair and balanced" devotees.
The Guardian. Isn't that just the British version of The Onion?
Here's a report from The Guardian. Yep, it's that same UK online news site that's been making headlines for more than a month.
A month? Americans are so provincial.
The only people in the West who need to have the Guardian newspaper explained to them.
It is kind of sad isn't it. It also shows another American trait: If you don't understand it, attack it.

Suffolk Law is nationally recognized for its moot court and mock trial teams. And it's not just US News and World Report editors who said so (although they have).
The National Trial Team has won 26 New England regional championships since 1985 (that's 26 out of 28), including four years when Suffolk Law teams also claimed second-place honors. The team practices intensely and routinely goes to national competitions, often making it to semi-final or final rounds.
The Moot Court Program offers scores of students the chance to prepare and present appellate arguments before judges and judicial panels – both within the school and in competition with other schools.
Moot Court Travel Teams Competition Descriptions
Burton Wechsler Competition (Constitutional Law Team) Prof. Pizzano
This national competition is held annually at the Washington College of Law of American University in Washington D.C. The competition is based on current First Amendment law issues. Participants are required to write and submit a brief as well as present oral arguments before panels of judges. The competition is designed to develop research and writing as well as oral advocacy skills.
IP LawMeet Competition Jessica Silbey
The National IP LawMeet is the premier lawyering competition for students contemplating a transactional practice focused on Intellectual Property (IP). The National IP LawMeet is a part of the LawMeet family of live, interactive, educational competitions designed to give law students a hands-on experience to develop and hone their transactional lawyering skills.
FDI Moot Competition Prof. Chris Gibson
Increasing international investment, the proliferation of Bi- and Multilateral Investment Treaties, national investment promotion legislation, and "internationalized" investment contracts have contributed to the rapid development of a new field of international law that defines obligations between "host States" and foreign investors and creates procedures for resolving related disputes, e.g. through the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.
These investment disputes involve not only vast sums, but also probe the panoply of rights, duties, and shifting objectives at the juncture of national and international law and policy. Through the FDI Moot law students -- future practitioners, academics and policy makers -- may attain a practical understanding of these issues. At the same time, the case and the hearings offer a forum of different dynamics for current academics and practitioners from the around the world to discuss the latest developments - and assess emerging talents - in these fields.
National Health Law
Moot Court Competition Prof. Renee Landers
The National Health Law Moot Court Competition is an inter-law school appellate moot court competition sponsored by the School of Law and the School of Medicine, Department of Medical Humanities, Southern Illinois University and the American College of Legal Medicine and ACLM Foundation. The purpose of the Competition is to develop the art of appellate advocacy and to encourage research in the growing field of health law and ethics. The Competition is organized by a Coordinating Committee comprised of SIU School of Law faculty and current law students appointed to the Moot Court Board of the School of Law.
National Moot Court
Since 1950, the New York City Bar and the American College of Trial Lawyers have sponsored this National Moot Court Competition. Every year, over 150 law schools compete in the regional rounds throughout the U.S., and the winners advance to the final rounds held at the New York City Bar. This nationally–recognized competition allows law students to hone their appellate advocacy skills by arguing before prominent members of our profession.
Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition (Trademark Team) Jessica Silbey/Rebecca Curtin
The Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition is an annual competition organized by INTA and members of the Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition Committee. Now entering its 19th year, the Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition is the only competition in the United States with a focus on trademark and unfair competition law.
The Competition is named in honor of Saul Lefkowitz whose entire distinguished career was dedicated to the development of trademark and unfair competition law. For more than 30 years, Mr. Lefkowitz was a member of the trademark examining corps in the Trademark Office and was a member of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) from its creation in 1958. In 1975, he was named its Chairman.
This moot court competition is open to teams of law school students from accredited law schools throughout the United States. Students are expected to write a brief and argue the case in regional and national competitions before a panel of volunteer attorneys, judges from various district and other courts, members of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and jurists from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC).
The objective of the competition is to introduce law students to important issues arising in United States trademark and unfair competition law. Law students who participate in the competition have the opportunity to develop their brief writing and oral advocacy skills in a mock courtroom experience.
National Tax Moot
Court Competition (Tax Law Team) Prof. Corbett
The National Tax Moot Court is an appellate advocacy competition. Participants brief and orally argue a hypothetical appeal in a tax case. The national competition is sponsored by the Tax Section of the Florida Bar Association. The competition simulates an appeal of a trial court decision, so appellate writing and oral advocacy skills are emphasized. Students research a problem, write an appellate brief, and present oral arguments before panels of judges. This competition does not have a regional. Students compete in the intra-school competition and then the national. Students earn two pass/fail credits for their participation in the national competition in Florida. This competition is open to all students who have completed their first year.
J. Braxton Craven
Competition (Constitutional
Law Team) Prof. Pizzano
This national competition is held annually at the University of North Carolina Law School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The competition is based on current, topical Constitutional Law issues. Participants are required to prepare a written brief as well as present oral arguments before panels of judges. Suffolk has participated in this competition since its inception in 1977 and has won it several times. The competition is designed to develop competitors' research, writing and oral advocacy skills.
Jessup International
Competition (International Law Team) Professors DeFabritiis and Kim
Now in its 52nd year, the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition is the world's largest moot court competition, with participants from over 500 law schools in more than 80 countries. The Competition is a simulation of a fictional dispute between countries before the International Court of Justice, the judicial organ of the United Nations. One team is allowed to participate from every eligible school. Teams prepare oral and written pleadings arguing both the applicant and respondent positions of the case. Thousands of law students from around the world will work all year long on this season's Jessup Problem, which will address the legality of the use of unmanned drones and international anti-corruption law. Most students must first compete in national and regional competitions (mostly held in January-March) to earn the right to advance to the White & Case International Rounds held every spring in Washington, D.C.
Irving R. Kaufman
Memorial Competition (Securities Law Team) Prof. Franco
The Irving R. Kaufman Memorial Moot Court Competition is held in honor of Judge Kaufman, a Fordham alumnus who served on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit for many years, including seven years as Chief Judge. The Competition offers teams the opportunity to test appellate advocacy skills before leading jurists, securities regulators, academics, and practitioners. In years past, the Kaufman Competition has attracted such distinguished final round panelists as Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Byron White, notable Circuit Judges, leading Securities and Exchange Commission officials, and influential securities law academics and practitioners. The Thirty-Sixth Annual Kaufman Competition will be held March 24-27, 2011. The esteemed final round panel for 2011 will include Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit; Judge Paul J. Kelly, Jr., of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit; Judge Boyce F. Martin, Jr., of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit; Commissioner Troy A. Paredes, of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; and Judge Richard A. Posner, of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

Valentine's cake/ Surprise chocolate heart inside cake
Hi…today my recipe is for all those who celebrate their Valentine's Day. You can make this cake for your valentine and let them get surprised with this wonderful surprise heart cake. So celebrate this Valentine's day with this surprise heart cake. Last month was our third wedding anniversary, I planned to make a cake for our anniversary. But unfortunately I was not not able to make cake.
So I thought I should make on this Valentine Day. OK, something about the cake. Here I made chocolate hearts. You can make any color hearts by adding food color. I thought of not to add any artificial colors because it is not good for us. So chocolate cake came into my mind. I am sure that you will like this cake very much and give this as a gift to your valentine.
So try it out and let me know what you think about.
Valentine's cake/ Surprise chocolate heart inside cake
|Prep time
|30 minutes
|Cook time
|1 hour
|Total time
|1 hour, 30 minutes
|Egg, Milk
|Meal type
|Valentines day
- 3 cups Sifted all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 cup Sugar
- 4 Large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla essence
- 1 cup Milk

- Instead of chocolate heart you can make any color hearts by adding food color into it.
Okay that is a great cake idea. At first I was wondering how you did the perfect hearts inside the cake, seen the pics and thought now aren't you smart. I am thinking I could make a lot of cakes with shapes inside for the kids, what a surprise.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Because it's standard practice across the board. The best offers are always done by sales or retentions teams; that's just the way it works. I have VM at home, the best offers are done through these teams, it doesn't mean their customer service teams are no good, it's just their not to necessarily sell but do a different job.
When a customer comes through to me, I regularly do account reviews because customers are on the wrong packages and are spending a fortune on calls. I save so many customers so much by making sure they're on the right plan for their usage and that's more important than selling to me.

INTERESTING STUFF – 11 January 2014
My part of the U.S., northwest Oregon, escaped the extreme cold that plagued most of the nation early last week. The extreme sub-zero temperatures produced an avalanche (sorry) of odd news coverage. Here are several:
You might have caught one of the dozens of weather reporters and ordinary people who couldn't resist the boiling water freezes trick:
At Huffington Post,
"...scientist and author Dr. Ainissa Ramirez explains that the hot water freezes - changes from a liquid to a solid - as soon it comes into contact with the cold air. That's why the water appears like mist; it's no longer water but many tiny ice crystals.
"The same can happen if you toss out water from a cup from the ledge of the building. The people below will never feel it, because the water will freeze on the way down (to something like snow)."
Anybody can build a snowman but the Bartz brothers – Connor, Trevor and Austin – spent 95 hours building a 60-foot shark in their Minnesota front yard:
There are many still photos at Buzzfeed and here's another video showing how they built the shark. Well done, guys.
Yup. Hell really did freeze over last week – that is, if you believe hell is in Michigan. Take a look:
Last Monday, I wrote a blog post detailing what long-term unemployment means in real life to real people. A new study from the Urban Institute delves deeply into the consequences for individuals:
"Workers who have been out of a job for longer than 27 weeks typically see their incomes fall by 40 percent," explains the Washington Post, reporting on the study.
"Even if they do find a new job, it tends to be lower-paying, and their long-term earning prospects are usually impaired. These workers tend to have worse health, higher rates of suicide and strained relationships with their families.
"They see a massive drop in self-esteem. Their children do worse in school and earn less over the long run."
The entire study is here [pdf].
You might remember back in 1971, when the entire files of a Pennsylvania FBI office were stolen revealing that thousands of Americans were being spied upon. The burglars were never found.
Now there is a new book, The Burglary, by the Washington Post journalist, Betty Metzger, who first reported, in 1971, the FBI spy operation based on the stolen documents.
There is a big story about the burglars and their operation at The New York Times along with this fascinating Times video that includes interviews with the burglars and Ms. Metzger. Fascinating.
I don't know what else to do with this photo. But I couldn't get it out of my head and there's no explanation at Naked Capitalism, where I found it, except that the horse was "brought inside due to cold."
So let's have a caption contest. Leave yours in the comments below.
According to Mediaite, Fox News anchor Bret Baier joined some Real Clear Politics guys on their morning commute to work and told them the story of this awkward event at work. Just silly fun.
Surely you've heard of the upoming Supreme Court case involving the Little Sisters of the Poor nuns who do not want to be forced by the Affordable Care Act to pay for employees' birth control medication.
Daily Kos posted this cartoon about what might happen if the idea were to be applied more widely:
Absolutely nothing happens in this video. Just infinite cuteness.
Interesting Stuff is a weekly listing of short takes and links to web items that have caught my attention; some related to aging and some not, some useful and others just for fun.
You are all encouraged to submit items for inclusion. Just click "Contact" in the upper left corner of any Time Goes By page to send them. I'm sorry that I probably won't have time to acknowledge receipt and there is no guarantee of publication.

"Hey, Gran, could you change the channel?"
Great stuff! Love the kitten and the horse especially.
for caption contest:
1. "Anything in the want ads Agnes for a dog and pony show?"
2. "You're carpets look like they need a cleaning Agnes"
"Mr. Ed. What's yours?"
"Are you finished with the Arts Section yet?"
Umm, any mention of this in the Sports Section?
Which came first, the upholstery in the living room or the horse of the same color?
The Burglary video was fascinating and especially so with the Snowdon news unfolding.
Awww, the kitten is adorable
Going to Hell in Michigan involves a 95-mile auto trip from our home. The weather was pure hell around here last weekend.
It's a "Lap" horse
Caption: The elephant in the living room is smaller than I thought.
Just lovely stuff today, thanks. I was also riveted to the video about the FBI break in. Hoover's action could have been at the core of some of our problems in the late 60's thru 71. Parinoia and FBI in the mail box indeed.
Will you finish the NY Times puzzle...it's time for Downton Abbey!
"Excuse me, Mildred, do you mind if I smoke?"
"What do you mean, you don't have an X-Box?"
"Hey, Mabel, what would you say if I told you that I accidentally ended up on this couch ON TOP OF YOUR CAT?"
"Could you please point me to the nearest men's room?"
"Is it 5 o'clock somewhere yet?"
"wanna horse around?"

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday said it has concluded arrangements to arraign a Malaysia-based Nigerian fraudsters, Hope Olusegun Aroke and his accomplice, Tafida Garuba Ibrahim, before a Federal High Court in Lagos today.
A statement by the EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren, said: "they will be docked before Justice Mohammed Idris on two separate charges of money laundering and false declaration of assets... on Monday January 21, 2013."
It said Aroje was one of two Malaysia-based Nigerian undergraduate arrested by the EFCC in the closing weeks of 2012 in Lagos following a tip- off.
Aroje claimed to be a student of Computer Science at the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University, Malaysia but the commission's investigation fingered him as the arrow head of a web of internet fraudsters.

Anna Bentinck ratchets up the melodrama for this full-blooded reading of Hardy's classic-a staple of high-school English classes everywhere. Students desperate to penetrate Hardy's notoriously slow masterpiece should turn to Bentinck, who gives it an intense emotional coloring. She makes Hardy sound like a brother to the Brontë sisters: passionate and brooding. Bentinck alternates between a crisp, precise narrative voice that sounds like Helen Mirren, and Tess's own voice, quavering, shallow and meek. Bentinck retains her composure throughout, and her assured performance may be a welcome rescue for struggling 11th graders across the country.

From Minka, this outdoor hanging light features a classic Mission Arts and Crafts look.
Great Mission-style look in a multi-step, hand applied iron oxide finish. Double French scavo glass.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
We had it installed because we have a three story high portico. It is really attractive and easy to change the bulb. We had a storm come through and break a pane of glass, and I am currently sitting on hold for lamps plus, who says they can help replace the broken glass. I am very excited about that possibility! I recommend having it secured by several directions so that what happens to us won't happen to you. Otherwise, perfect product.
We are so pleased with our hanging light, and it looks absolutely fabulous -- just makes the porch look so picturesque! So happy to know that such quality and beautiful items are available at Lamps Plus!!
Our associates are standing by to assist you.

Home Health Provides Skilled Care to the Elderly, Homebound and Patients after Surgery and Hospitalization
Northwestern Home Health combines more than 40 years' service with new healthcare technology to ensure quality care for patients in their home
LAKE FOREST – Adam J. Frank spent 51 straight days in Northwestern Memorial Hospital after his diagnosis of biphenotypic acute leukemia and then was in and out of the hospital for three more months while undergoing aggressive chemotherapy, radiation and finally a stem cell transplant.
The opportunity to utilize Northwestern Home Health in between hospital visits and after his stem cell transplant was a welcome benefit to him, his family and his fiancé–particularly because Northwestern Home Health had an RN liaison at the hospital to coordinate all aspects of his discharge from the hospital and ensure a safe transition from the hospital to his home.
Northwestern Home Health provided Adam's care in between chemotherapy sessions and before and after his stem cell transplant. Up to three times a week, Adam began his day with a visit from the Northwestern Home Health nurses who took his vitals and his bloodwork. The nurses and therapists utilize electronic medical records and brought a laptop to their visits with Adam to document his care right in his home.
Through the electronic medical record, the nurses could immediately access all of Adam's patient information, enhancing care coordination with his physicians and other members of the healthcare team. The nurses also could check the coagulation in Adam's blood, a critical part of the treatment and care for patients with leukemia, and follow up with the physician right from Adam's home.
Northwestern Home Health is one of Illinois' oldest hospital-based home health agencies, having brought quality, skilled care within the home setting to patients in Lake, Cook and McHenry counties for more than 40 years. Northwestern Home Health services range from personal care to high-tech infusion services, and the care is provided by registered nurses and therapists with diverse clinical background in the care of acute and chronic illnesses. Being hospital-based, the Northwestern Home Health staff has full access to additional hospital resources such as the dietitian, chaplain, and diabetic educator for the patient.
"November is national home health month and a time to recognize the important role home health plays in the healthcare of so many in our community. Northwestern Home Health cares for a variety of patients, many of them elderly and homebound, and also those like Adam who require skilled care after surgery and a recent hospitalization," said the director of Northwestern Home Health Cristine M. Traba, MS, RN-BC. "Many other patients we see have recently had open heart surgery or joint replacement surgery and require the services of a home care nurse and/or physical therapist to promote their optimal recovery after surgery."
Home health has changed greatly in the 40 years of Northwestern Home Health's existence, due to the changing population that home health care serves. Patients are living longer and have more chronic illnesses. The length of stay in the hospital has dramatically decreased, with patients coming home sooner and requiring more skilled care and monitoring in the home to prevent complications and re-hospitalization.
Patients discharged from Northwestern Memorial Hospital to Northwestern Home Health may have had open heart surgery or a stem cell transplant like Adam. The staff at Northwestern Home Health has advanced their skill and knowledge to care for these patients who require astute assessment and care coordination with their physicians during the time of a serious illness. Because of the acute needs of some patients, the Northwestern Home Health nurses are trained to administer a variety of infusion therapies in the home and care for patients with complex wounds.
"Leaving the hospital so quickly after a major procedure is often overwhelming to the patient and the patient's family members helping in their care," continued Traba. "Home health care is a critical part of a patient's overall treatment plan, providing hospital-level care in the comfort of the patient's home."
"During my hospitalizations, my fiancé and family had to drive back and forth between Gurnee and Chicago, so it was a huge relief to all of us to be able to have the nurses come to me at home whenever possible," said Adam, now 23, who lived in Gurnee with his parents during the time of his illness. "It was so much better to be in the comfort of my own home in between the chemotherapy sessions, and to know that I could get the care I needed at home after my stem cell transplant."
Northwestern Home Health is an Illinois licensed Medicare Certified Home Health Agency and licensed as a provider of home medical equipment. Also, Northwestern Home Health is Joint Commission accredited and holds the distinction of having Magnet Designation for Nursing through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Last year, the staff of Northwestern Home Health admitted 1,226 patients to home health and completed 17,532 visits to Lake, Cook and Eastern McHenry county patients.
