The curricula rely heavily on experiential, interactive exercises that have participants "walk in the shoes" solicit their input based of care recipients. The format allows caregivers to gain insight and empathy into the needs of vulnerable individuals. Four themes are addressed: Keys to on their collective, Professional Caregiving, which focuses on conflict resolution and communication skills, and observing professional boundaries; Supporting the hundreds of years of Professional Caregiver, intended for use with supervisors; Conducting Internal Investigations; and Responding to Challenging Situations, which experience.

While the training is valuable for all working in long-term care settings, supervisors were not the means of intended audience. There were two primary reasons for the resistance. As mentioned above, professional development programs are typically designed empowerment. We for supervisors and administrators. Furthermore, given staffing realities and daily workloads, it is difficult to spare direct caregivers for the time needed highlight the need to to complete the course. Course developers responded by modifying the format so that training could be delivered on site and in smaller bites. "take some time to Ms. Cochems believes that one of the greatest strengths of the project is that make some time" – it honors the work of frontline caregivers and fosters a sense of empowerment. "We believe that the participants are the real experts, and we even though you are try to solicit their input based on their collective hundreds of years of experience. We also try to emphasize that all direct caregivers should have feeling that you have input in the resident"s care plan as an additional means of empowerment. We highlight the need to "take some time to make some time" -- even though you too much to do, taking are feeling that you have too much to do, taking an extra minute or two with a resident will help in the long run." an extra minute or two Another philosophy espoused is the need to respect the residents" ability to with a resident will help make choices and to respect their individuality. "It"s essential to not treat caregiving like an assembly-line process." (cont. on page 7) in the long run." Donna Cochems Page 2 Volume 10 Number 3 January 2008 Promising Practice: Justice for All: Law Enforcement and Adult Protective Services Unite On January 24th. the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) will host the first NCEA training and informational webcast of 2008. The presentation will highlight a collaborative model currently used in Massachusetts to ensure that victimization against persons with disabilities is effectively investigated and prosecuted. The model is being adapted for use with cases of elder abuse and neglect. We recently spoke with Nancy Alterio, Executive Director of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Disabled Persons Protection Commission (DPPC) and NAPSA President, about the success of the program, and the potential it holds for addressing elder mistreatment. What began as a 100 day commitment for District Attorney Elizabeth Scheibel has continued for over a decade. In response to several horrific, high profile cases of abuse against persons with developmental disabilities, Ms. Scheibel was appointed to head up a panel investigating the systemic failure to adequately protect vulnerable adults. The appointment led to the development of Massachusetts Building Partnerships for the Protection of Persons with Disabilities Initiative (BPI), a collaboration linking adult protective services with law enforcement and other health and human service agencies to address cases of mistreatment, neglect, and exploitation. The model, based on child protective services practices, was initially established to address the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities, but eventually expanded to include individuals with all types of disabilities between the ages of 18 and 59. A year and half ago, Ms. Scheibel began adapting the program for the Northwestern district"s Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA). In an NCEA webcast later this month, Ms. Scheibel and Nancy Alterio, DPPC Executive Director, will detail the program and describe the process of modifying the initiative to address elder abuse. The BPI provides a 24 hour, centralized state reporting hotline for allegations of mistreatment involving adults with disabilities. From this single point of entry, individuals are referred to appropriate health and social services, law enforcement entities, and other resources. The program currently houses a state police detective unit of six investigators who work with protective services professionals to determine if allegations suggest elements of a crime, and therefore warrant criminal investigation. The cases are then referred either to the DPPC state police, the DA state police, or the local state police. Approximately 10 to 15 percent of allegations are criminally investigated. (cont. on page 4) Page 3 National Center on Elder Abuse NCEA E-NEWS Law Enforcement and Protective Services Unite (cont. from page 3) According to Ms. Alterio, "The MOU (memorandum of understanding) is the cornerstone of the multidisciplinary initiative." Drafted in 1999 as a result of the first statewide conference uniting APS, law enforcement, and disabilities "The MOU agencies, the protocol has been adapted by each of the state"s 11 district attorney jurisdictions. Each DA has customized the MOU for use in its jurisdiction; each (memorandum MOU specifically names individuals as well as their relevant positions and roles of in the process. The MOUs are updated centrally by the BPI project director so that as individuals leave, newly appointed individuals are named specifically understanding) with detailed contact information; the roles are highly defined as well. The specificity of the protocol streamlines the processing of cases entering the is the system and enhances the likelihood that cases that meet the standards for prosecution are legally addressed. cornerstone of "Law enforcement professionals are developing a specialty area of expertise in dealing with individuals with disabilities -- for example, communication, the investigation, prosecution, evaluation of competency, etc.," says Ms. Alterio. "At the same time, APS professionals are developing expertise in investigating the multidisciplinary elements of a crime -- how to protect a crime scene, how to protect physical evidence." The cross training not only ensures a more thorough investigation; it initiative," breeds a sensitivity to the perspectives of professionals across disciplines. This sensitivity is essential to effective collaboration. Nancy Alterio, Although BPI is not designed to address elder abuse, the hotline does field allegations of mistreatment involving older individuals. In a recent four month Executive period, 207 allegations of elder abuse and neglect were recorded. While these Director, reports are forwarded to the EOEA, the DPPC state police also scrutinize the Disabled Persons allegations for evidence of criminal activity. When reports suggest that the Protection allegations meet the threshold for criminal investigation, referrals are forwarded Commission to the respective DA for further disposition. Ms. Alterio indicates that reports of elder abuse are sometimes made to BPI specifically because reporters know that this will lead to a law enforcement evaluation. Another byproduct of the BPI collaboration is that it allows advocates and professionals to look for gaps in the system as well as legal loopholes that hinder response. The webcast is scheduled to air on Thursday, January 24th at 1:00 PM EST. Registration information will soon be posted on the NCEA website at www.ncea.aoa.gov, and will be announced through the NCEA Elderabuse Listserve.

Page 9 National Center on Elder Abuse NCEA E-NEWS Elder Abuse Research and Literature The Clearinghouse on Abuse and Neglect of the Elderly (CANE) at the University of Delaware maintains an annotated catalog of peer-reviewed literature on elder mistreatment and related issues. The following are highlights of recently identified publications. To search for additional references, visit the CANE website. Protecting Senior Investors: Report of Examinations of Securities Firms Providing "Free Lunch" Sales Seminars Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations Securities and Exchange Commission, North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) & the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) September 2007 Financial service firms increasingly target senior investors making them vulnerable to financial fraud and exploitation. This report summarizes the findings of a recent review of financial service firms that offer "free lunch" sales seminars. The investigations were part of a larger initiative launched in 2006 by the SEC and the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) to address growing concern over elder financial abuse in the financial services industry. Over 100 examinations were completed in Florida, California, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, Alabama, and South Carolina, which were all chosen for their large retiree populations. The study found that "free lunch" sales seminars commonly target seniors and often use misleading marketing materials. Many senior participants mistakenly believe that the "advisors" are unbiased and do not understand that they are actually representatives of large corporate firms. These results indicate a significant need for more active and effective regulatory oversight of financial services sales seminars. To this end, regulators have compiled a list of suggestions to guide the financial services sector in this effort. (Note: This report is accessible online at: http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/seniors/freelunchreport.pdf .) Assessing Capacity in the Setting of Self-Neglect: Development of a Novel Screening Tool for Decision- Making Capacity Naik, A., Pickens, S., Burnett, J., Lai, J., Dyer, C. Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect; Vol. 18 (4), 79-91; 2007. Research has indicated that self-neglect is commonly associated with a decline in decision-making capacity. This study employed and evaluated the COMP Screen, an instrument designed to measure the decision- making capabilities of self-neglecting adults. The tool was used to evaluate the decision-making capacity of both self-neglecting seniors and a control group of non-self-neglecting seniors. Results showed no statistically significant difference between the responses of each group on any section of the questionnaire. One possible explanation for this unexpected result is that although self-neglecting adults may be capable of making sound decisions, they may simply be incapable or choose not to follow through with necessary subsequent actions. Findings of this study suggest that the COMP Screen lacks validity as a screening tool for measuring decision-making capacity in self-neglecting elderly adults. Further research is needed to determine whether a modified version of the tool may be useful.

Originally written on Inside The Iggles | Last updated 11/9/11
Staff writer Steve Fini looks back at five players who made the difference in Monday night's loss.Earl Bennett (WR/Chicago) – I stated in my player preview for this game that the problem for the Eagles secondary would be getting off the field on third down, and that Dane Sanzenbacher, the Bears slot receiver, would be the reason. Well, I wasn't aware that Bennett was going to play like Jerry Rice, but I at least I had the right position. This isn't the first time a no-name slot receiver has torched the Eagles this season. That is exactly what Bennett did and what the Eagles defense can't stop. Playing Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie in the slot is a mistake. I never liked that the Eagles got him in the first place, but he certainly was better in Arizona than he is now. The Bears' ability to exploit DRC in the slot won them the game. Jay Cutler (QB/Bears) – While I don't want to take anything away from Cutler, the Eagles made it easy on him. No sacks, basically no hits (except for ...

Drink between: 2009 - 2013 (Add My Dates)
Good but flavors and nose more muted than the last bottle. Might be going downhill at this point.
I wouldn't guess this wine was grenache. Nose was very perfumed, more typical of many Italian wines. Body was fairly light and food friendly. Good fruit and nice smooth finish. Overall, very nice.
Strawberries. Cherry or other red fruit based brandy. (not the fruit side of it, but the sent of it in a dry liquor...)
fruity but strong alcohol backbone)
Some vegetal notes (rhubarb?)
Good Grenache nose.
good fruit. Dry but with admirable fruit forwardness.
The alcohol based warm finish lingers o a fruity finish.
I would tend to think it can age but most likely would better drunk now.
Very happy for the price.
Good job Buil & Gine!
This is Priorat-lite. A whiff of stone and then some decent red fruit but nothing more. Palate is nicely weighted but otherwise underwhelming.
A good basic wine from Spain. I didn't detect as much dryness as past people

Arteriosclerosis obliterans Maria Arteaga Etiology Disorder accompanied by a narrowing or an occlusion of the intima and media of the blood vessel wall. Plaque formation: as a result of the arteriosclerotic process, form on the internal wall of the blood vessels, causing partial or complete occlusion of the blood vessel. Result: is little or no blood flow to the affected extremity. The artery is unable to supply blood and oxygen to the tissue. Clinical Manifestations Pain is the first symptom that occurs in from tissue ischemia. Pain generally occurs in the affected extremity in conjunction w/sustained activity. This is due to the demand of the tissue exceeding the available blood supply. Claudication is the process of activity to ischemia to pain in an affected extremity. Symptoms are coldness, numbness, and tingling may be associated w/pain. Signs and symptoms to watch for are the 5 P's pain, pulslessness, pallor, paresthesia and paralysis. Assessment Subjective data- focuses on pain associated with intermittent caudication. Does the pain occur w/activity ? Is it relived at rest ? Or is the pain occurring at rest ? Objective data- includes assessment of pulses in the affected extremity, which may be weak or absent, compare to unaffected extremity. Other assessment factors may include pallor and hairless, shiny skin that is dry and cool to touch, cyanosis, arterial ulcers, cellulitis, or gangrenous changes in the affected extremity. Diagnostic Tests Treadmill testing- form of monitoring hearts capability. The patient is put through a limit of exertion to evaluate ischemia. Digital subtraction angiography- is the procedure to visualize blood vessels with contrast medium in a bony environment by subtracting the pre-contrast image from the image with contrast medium. Doppler ultrasound- used to measure your blood pressure at various points along your arms or legs. These measurements can help your doctor gauge the degree of any blockage, as well as the speed of blood flow in your arteries. MRI are also obtained. Doppler ultrasound Magnetic Resonance Image showing a vertical sagittal (divides the body into sinister and dexter (left and right) portions. ) cross section through a human head. Medical Management Is focused on preventing complete arterial occlusion. Frequently used medications are anticoagulants- used to prolong clotting time (heparin and warfarin). Fibrinolytics or thrombolitics are useful in dissolving existing thrombi (urokinase) Surgery is used for advanced disease. Includes embolectomy (the removal of embolism) endolectomy (the surgical removal of the lining of an artery). An arterial bypass operation is done to treat a blockage in a major artery that is causing symptoms due to lack of sufficient blood flow. Targeted, color-enhanced, 3D volume-rendering reconstruction of the distal arterial bypass graft confirms the normal appearance of the distal anastomoses (thin white arrows). Note postoperative clip material (white arrowheads) and additional interposed short new graft segment (thick white arrow). Arterial bypass Percutaneos transluminal angioplasty Nursing Interventions Activity intolerance Related to ischemic pain or immobility. Prevent hazards of immobility by turning positioning deep breathing ROM promote exercise for circulation Nursing interventions continued Ineffective tissue perfusion Related to decreased arterial blood flow. Avoid raising feet above heart, keep extremities warm to promote vasodilatation. Administer medications Patient teaching teach patient importance in not smoking to prevent vasoconstriction also avoid caffeine or chilling. Not crossing their legs Not to wear constrictive cloths such as garters, tight stockings, or belts.

Poll: Majority of Americans don't know what "GOP" stands for
posted at 6:25 pm on October 3, 2011 by Tina Korbe
It's a little hard to take this 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll seriously, given that "Grumpy Old People" was one of the multiple choice options and some folks surely checked that box just to make a political statement. Nevertheless, it's interesting.
Just forty-five percent of Americans correctly identified "GOP" as an acronym for "Grand Old Party," while 35 percent said it stands for "Government of the People." Seven percent said it equates to "Grumpy Old People," three percent chose "God's Own Party" and another nine percent admitted to not having a clue.
Most tellingly, just 51 percent of self-identified Republicans knew the meaning of the moniker. Vanity Fair mocks this and Think Progress trumpets it, presumably as evidence that Republicans aren't as "plugged in" as they ought to be. Honestly, that was my first reaction, too. But, on second thought, I can't say I'm all that disappointed to learn a sizable percentage of both GOPers themselves and the American people at large think the Republican Party so promotes limited government as to assume the party's abbreviation stands for "Government of the People." Come to think of it, I'd be pretty happy if "GOP" did stand for that. (And given that the phrase "government of the people" came from a speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln — whom, you'll recall, the president wrongly said was the founder of the Republican Party — it wasn't an unreasonable guess.)
The poll was notable for another reason, too: It highlighted that partisanship extends well beyond policy preferences. Vanity Fair summarizes:
[T]his month several issues appeared to break along party lines even more than is typical.
For instance: Ford and Disney easily led the pack of American brands we were all proudest of—Ford on the strength of Republican opinion, Disney on Democratic. Asked which was the most important presidential character trait, Democrats valued intelligence above all else while Republicans chose character.
That's no surprise, really: I've seen TV show breakdowns between Democrats and Republicans, sports breakdowns between Ds and Rs, and I'd imagine someone somewhere has demonstrated the clothing breakdown between the two parties. You watch Mad Men with giddy devotion, follow the NBA with acute interest and, oh, I don't know, eschew fur coats for lettuce leaves? I'd guess you're a D. You switch to ABC the second "Dancing with the Stars" starts Monday night, spend Saturdays watching college football (and Sundays watching golf) and, hmm, just guessing here, own a couple pairs of cowboy boots? I'd say you're an R. Are these stereotypes? You bet, but they also reveal that the partisan divide has its roots in culture (doesn't everything?). They're also a pleasant reminder to me to tune into a new TV show every once in a while, try a new sport or shop in a different store just to freshen my perspective every so often. Mostly, TV, sports and clothes aren't questions of right v. wrong or effective v. ineffective (although they can be), so why not find common ground in those areas?
But, when it comes to the question of the most important presidential characteristic, I'm solidly in the character camp — and hope I always will be. To put it simplistically, "Smart is different than good." For that matter, so is nice (h/t Stephen Sondheim). Character alone ensures intelligence, charisma or any other positive trait will be used in the service of the truth and the good.

Jordan McRae considers himself "the modern day Darryl Dawkins" after breaking the backboard during Sixers practice recently.
This week on The700LevelShow: host John Gonzalez caught up with the 76ers rookies to test their knowledge of Philadelphia. They do okay.
The Sixers' reported trade with the Kings for Nik Stauskas was another stroke of genius by GM Sam Hinkie and a heist of the desperate Kings.

2000 Chevrolet Prizm Q&A
2000 Chevrolet Prizm Question: Transmission swap
will a 2001 Overdrive transmission bolt into a 2000 car with the non-Overdrive automatic? If so, are any shifter or computer changes needed. Any special instructions for pulling the engine from the top? Thanks - TheoGeo
Answer 1
For the transmissions to swap OK, they'd have to be identical units with the same gear ratios and electrical connectors. If you swap computers you need to consider whether the computer is compatible with the engine. You'd probably be violating emissions laws if the computer is swapped. You'd better consult a transmission shop or a Toyota expert before you attempt this swap. The engine can be removed from the top leaving the transmission in the car. It may be easier to remove the engine and trans as a unit but I think I'd consult a Toyota specialist about the easiest way to get the engine out. If you want to find a Toyota specialist, here's our directory link for you: https://repairpal.com/directory?address=49534&car_brand_names=Chevrolet - Superbob

The Verdicks
Phoenix isn't anywhere near topping the list of the punkest cities in the U.S. Not even close. Burgs like New York City, Frisco, and Detroit have always, and will always, be far more famous for their contributions to the world of Mohawks and three-chord thunder than our fair city ever will. But even in the face of said facts (or maybe because we're naturally a bit biased) we remain proud fans of our hometown punk scene and its history. The PHX has birthed some pretty wicked bands over the years, ranging from such legends as Jodie Foster's Army and The Feederz to present-day punk standouts like Glass Heroes and North Side Kings. And the breeding never seems to stop, as every time we turn around another cool new punk band takes to the stage at Hollywood Alley or J-Heads. The latest group on our radar is The Verdicks. The relatively new Tempe band has a take-no-shit sound that's a bit of early-'80s Dead Kennedys rowdiness mixed with vocal hooks of Bad Religion's Greg Graffin. Driving things forward are pounding bass lines that keep slamming at your eardrums like a fist. Let's hope they do our scene proud.

Cubs back on track following All-Star break
Lou Piniella, Jim Hendry and possibly the entire Chicago Cubs organization should get out their pens this week and write a thank you note to whoever came up with this season's schedule. Following the All-Star break, the Cubs opened the second half of the season against the worst team in the majors, the Washington Nationals. It was precisely what the Cubs needed to get them started off on the right foot for the second half of the season.
The Cubs entered the All-Star break as a .500 team (43-43), but thanks to the four-game sweep of the Nationals, the Cubs are 4-0 following the break. The Cubs outscored the Nationals 26-11 in the four games. It's the kind of momentum the team will need as they head into Philadelphia for their next series.
The Phillies are the defending world champions, and the hottest team in baseball right now. They are 9-1 in their last 10 games, and have won eight straight.
The Cubs are in sole possession of second place in the National League Central division. They are two complete games behind the division-leading St. Louis Cardinals, and they have a one-game edge over the third-place Milwaukee Brewers.
The Cubs' early second half success may be partially because some of their key players are starting to hit the ball. Derrek Lee and Alfonso Soriano have finally re-awoken. They are also getting some extra offensive punch from some fill-in players, namely Jake Fox and Sam Fuld.
I'm not ready to bet the farm that the Cubs can repeat as champions of the Central Division, but they at least are back on the right track.
Doug Halberstadt can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.

"From the minute we walked into the villa, it felt like our "home away from home". The pictures and other reviews on the site simply don't do justice to this villa. The owner, Judith, has taken great care to ensure that it doesn't feel like a rental, rather as an extension of your own home. All of the little things you normally wouldn't think about were taken care of: there is both a Keurig and a regular coffee maker, lots of dishes and cookware, plenty of beach towels in addition to bath towels, plastic cups for the pool as well as glassware, outdoor shower to wash the sand off your feet, the list goes on and on. The furnishings were perfect and the rooms are spacious. We fell in love with it. The deck is huge with an amazing view; we had fruit, coffee, and croissants out there every morning for breakfast. It's also THE place to watch the sun set before dinner. The pool is close and was very quiet – we were there a couple of times and saw no one else. Sylma, the on-site manager was particularly helpful and a pleasure to work with. She greeted us with a huge smile when we arrived, showed us around, and even gave us directions to the local grocery! She made sure that the villa was properly cleaned when we had service, and that everything was going well with our stay. And thank you Judith for all your help, information, and hospitality. You have a lovely villa and we will be back!!!"Guest: GW & Travis Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 22, 2015View listing

This place is really special and so clean, almost spiritual. The area is quiet and peaceful. I don't think a car came down the street all weekend. As Randelle and Gabriela mentioned in the description, in observance of the CA water restrictions and drought, they are taking the spring/summer off on all the flowers and grass, which we thought was really great. The property is so rustic, a real mountain getaway! As so many other reviews say "We will be back"!!"Guest: Jack Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 21, 2015View listing
"From beginning to end this was a very easy process with the owner. The home is very close to town and suited my groups needs very well. Most evenings we all sat in the living room chatting around the fireplace. Cozy and comfortable without stress. I will for sure rent this house again next year - and some of my friends already inquired about how to rent through the year. Walking distance to the Bear Cafe. Quiet, cozy, affordable. Thanks again!"Guest: Mike D Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: December 26, 2014View listing
"You cannot go wrong with this rental. The space is beautiful and quiet. It's true, the photos do not do it justice. The pool was to die for and I must say the saline is so much nicer than a chlorine pool. This was just the quiet and peaceful get away that I needed. The location is great. You are close to the beach, shops and dining out if you choose to access. There are many activities to access (e.g., Island tours, zip lining). FYI: The brothers live on the property. They greeted us upon our arrival. They are gracious and truly give you all the privacy you would ever want. We didn't even know they were there."Guest: Jan Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 29, 2015View listing
