Gastroenterology reviews in Tulsa
The colonoscopy went fine, and Dr. details, preferring to keep things very "general". I have a technical background, so I like to understand what is being done, why, what the results mean or could mean, etc.
During the procedure, Dr.
During the follow-up visit, I NEVER got to speak to the doctor, only his PA. The PA told me that the pathology indicated micro-inflammation, and this was not a precursor to cancer and the cause was not always known. He also told me there was no correlation between micro-inflammation and more serious IBD conditions. Everything was fine up to that point, but then it got strange.
I told him I had not been taking the medication because the problem had abated, and he said they wanted me on it any way. He then said they would need to recheck me periodically to see if the medication was impacting my liver. I could not get a straight answer as to WHY I would take medication to control symptoms I did not have. He then said they wanted to do a follow-up colonoscopy every year, and they wanted me to take additional blood marker tests that may not be covered by my insurance.
I of course asked "why?" and he said, to check to see if you develop IBD. I said "I thought you said there is no correlation between the two?". He said although there was never any documented instance of this happening, they wanted to be "sure". This made absolutely no sense to me. As I pressed him, he said "tissue is king, but..." (referencing the pathology results). I still didn't understand and he was sort of agreeing with me, but basically said this is what the doctor wanted. Because the doctor NEVER made an appearance, I couldn't get any clarification.
In addition to all this, they asked many invasive questions on the admittance form, such as how many smoke detectors I have, my sexual history, whether there were guns in my house, etc. I refused to answer any of these questions, as they are irrelevant. They didn't seem to like that either.
In the end, I did not take the expensive, uncovered blood tests (the literature indicates there's a good reason why these are uncovered, they are usually inconclusive). I also never took the medication and I have yet to have a problem now 4+ months after doing the prep.
All-in-all, I would NOT recommend this practitioner. He seems to prescribe tests, procedures, and medications that may not be necessary, does not provide explanations, and does not make himself available during the diagnosis and follow-up stage.

48 year old man | Koreatown, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-37 within 50 miles
The Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
Why are we all here, I sometimes wonder. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy, and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil. I know that everything God does endures forever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing can be taken from it. But who knows. Does God really exist? This can only be known through faith. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him. Likewise, nobody knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. And the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. The man without the Spirit can not accept the things that come from God. They are foolishness to him; neither can he understand them because they are spiritually discerned. But the spiritual man makes judgements about all things. But he himself is not subject to any man's judgement. For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? If I have the gift of prophecy, and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. Where there are prophecies, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part, and we prophecy in part. But when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, and I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror. Then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain:faith, hope, and love; but, the greatest of these is love.

Montana Forest Fires – Thursday June 28
The weather is being watched closely.
The weather is being watched closely.
Major fires are fed by the wind.
Six Hamilton Fire Department vehicles are racing down Interstate 90 on their way to Helena to provide relief for exhausted firefighters in the Capitol city who have been battling a fire in the hills outside the Helena Valley non-stop for over 24 hours. Hamilton Fire Chief Brad Mohn says his department has a mutual aid agreement with the Helena Fire Department, and the six vehicles with 12 firefighters will be on duty from 7 pm tonight until 7 am tomorrow morning. The vehicles were forced to use lights and sirens to get through Missoula traffic on their way east to Helena
New fires reported daily in Montana.
Day One of the Antelope Lane Fire.
More airtankers join the forest fire battles.
The unseasonably warm weather and wind this weekend caused the Up Top Fire in the 41 Complex of forest fires to spread to the north and east about 500 acres, according to Information Officer Tod McKay of the Bitterroot National Forest
Wind gusts up to 25 miles per hour pushed the Up Top forest fire another 1,100 acres this weekend. So far, the fire has burned about 11,000 acres in the Bitterroot National Forest and currently is moving toward the east, spotting over into the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest northeast of Dam Lake
The Up Top Fire in the 41 Complex of forest fires 8 miles east of Hamilton has begun to "boil" again, with temperatures back into the 80s in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, according to Bitterroot National Forest information officer Tod McKay
Forest officials expect more smoke from the 41 Complex forest fire later this week, as another few days of 80-degree temperatures are predicted for the Bitterroot Valley. The valley air has been much easier to breathe this past weekend

Is the American job market becoming less fluid, as a new paper by Steven Davis and John Haltiwanger argues, with less job-switching and fewer vacancies opening up at established employers? And to the extent this is an unwelcome trend, which policies might be contributing to it? [The Economist; some possibly contrary data points from Alex Tabarrok]

For federal contractors, a hundred little compliance plans
Coyote, updated, and Hans Bader write about yet another new burden loaded on federal contractors, involving the creation of separate affirmative action plans for each installation, including those that do no federal contract business. One result will be to pressure some firms that do only a little federal work to get out of the government contracting business entirely, rather than submit to escalating cost and open-ended legal consequences.
Meanwhile, notes Bader, another part of the Obama administration's rapidly proliferating "pen and phone" regulation of the workplace "will make it very costly for employers to challenge dubious allegations of wrongdoing against them," by "[allowing] the government to cut off the contracts of contractors and subcontractors that do not 'consistently adhere' to a multitude of complex federal labor, antidiscrimination, harassment, and disabilities-rights laws." Even more damaging, it will forbid many applications of pre-dispute arbitration to workplace disputes, thus shunting grievances into courtroom litigation. "It will allow trial lawyers to extort larger settlements from companies, and enable bureaucratic agencies to extract costly settlements over conduct that may have been perfectly legal."
Earlier on regulation of federal contractors, a program driven by executive orders and particularly at the mercy of White House discretion, here and here, here, here, here, and generally at this new tag.
NLRB claims franchisors are joint employers
In this Cato podcast (7:01), I talk with Caleb Brown about the National Labor Relations Board's groundbreaking attempt last week to tag McDonald's with liability for labor violations found at its independently owned local operators. (Reportage: Steven Greenhouse, NYT; Jon Hyman; Diana Furchtgott-Roth/RCP) It's a drastic departure from current law that would carry implications for outsourcing more generally: a food company that contracts with independent farmers to grow a particular crop, for example, might wind up being liable for the farmers' treatment of farm workers, a company that outsources its cafeteria, vehicle maintenance, or janitorial services to outside vendors might become legally responsible for ensuring the labor-law compliance of those contractors, and so forth.
The McDonald's case is the first of what is expected to be multiple cases filed by the NLRB's general counsel (akin to a prosecutor), and the full Board has not ruled on the resulting complaints, although given the union-friendly role of the Obama NLRB that is likely to be little more than a formality. The initiative will inevitably land in the courts, which have not always been friendly toward Obama regulatory adventurism, and perhaps eventually the Supreme Court.
One consequence, successful or otherwise, if this ploy works: by treating legally distinct entities that contract with each other as if they were parts of a single vertically integrated enterprise, progressive labor law thinkers will create an incentive for giantism to become more real, by giving fast-food franchisers, for example, legal reason to move toward company-owned rather than independently-owned store arrangements. Not for the first time, the law would mow down the ranks of mid-sized businesses in favor of large or nothing. Commentary from others: Megan McArdle; Stephen Bainbridge; Catherine Fisk, On Labor (supporting the idea); Steve Caldeira, The Hill; Alex Bolt. And a relevant House hearing.
Adventures in employment agreements
The town of Stratford, Connecticut entered an employment agreement with its director of human resources, stating that his employment would be entirely at-will and further providing:
Based upon the annual performance evaluation, and at the [m]ayor's sole discretion and recommendation, the base salary may be increased on July 1 of each fiscal year, subject to the approval of the [council], which by Charter fixes the salaries of all mayoral appointees.
Subsequently, the town council voted to reduce the manager's salary, and the dispute went to litigation. Both a trial court and a Connecticut appeals court agreed with the manager's argument that even though the document prescribed an at-will relationship, by specifying that the base salary "may be increased" it was implicitly promising that it would never be decreased. [Daniel Schwartz; Adams on Contract Drafting]
She came to stay: nanny won't leave couple's home
Upland, Calif.: "A California family is stumped about what to do with a live-in nanny they say refuses to work, refuses to be fired and refuses to leave. In fact, Marcella Bracamonte claims that the nanny, Diane Stretton, has threatened to sue the family for wrongful firing and elder abuse." Stretton's hiring agreement with the Bracamontes entitles her to room and board as part of her compensation, but she now indicates that she is suffering a disability and stays mostly in her room, the couple says. After the dispute arose the Bracamontes discovered that Stretton is on the state vexatious-litigants list and has been involved in at least 36 lawsuits; police say because Stretton is in residence it is a civil matter, but a judge threw out the couple's initial eviction attempt, saying they had not filled out a quit notice correctly. [ABC News, auto-plays video ad; CBS Los Angeles] In September of last year, whether coincidentally or not, California Gov.

Connecticut politicos to employers: please hold our coat for 8 years while we govern
"It is a truism that laws tend to be arranged for the benefit of the political class." Even so, would you expect Connecticut law to provide that private employers must hold open the jobs of full-time elected officials for as much as eight years in case they decide to return? My new blog post at Cato has details.
NLRB: employer policy may not prohibit negativity and gossip
In an April decision, the National Labor Relations Board found largely unlawful a hospital's employee handbook policy as follows:
…11. We will not make negative comments about our fellow team members and we will take every opportunity to speak well of each other.
16. We will represent [the hospital] in the community in a positive and professional manner in every opportunity.
21. We will not engage in or listen to negativity or gossip. We will recognize that listening without acting to stop it is the same as participating.
The reason? Under NLRB doctrine, in both non-union and union workplaces, negative discussion of managers and other co-workers could count as "protected activities" linked to the potential for concerted labor action.
[Jon Hyman, Ohio Employer's Law Blog, on the April case of Hills & Dales General Hospital (PDF)]
Speaking of European labor-law rigidity…
The Wall Street Journal last month (paywalled, no link) reported on how the long-moribund British auto industry now has a striking success, BMW's Mini plant in Oxford, along with a hopeful sign for the future, Tata Motors Ltd.'s plans to invest $2.5 billion in its Jaguar plant in Solihull:
Workplace flexibility is a big factor behind the success of the U.K.'s auto industry, experts say. The Mini plant operates under the "working time account" model, which lets employees build up extra working hours that they can then draw on in downtime. …
"This is impossible in the rest of Europe on any relevant scale because of local legislation that protects workers' rights and pay," said John Leech, head of the U.K. automotive section at consultancy KPMG.
Mandates for paid sick leave
Labor and left-wing advocates are staging a concerted push for this measure, which opponents say is particularly burdensome to small business. "Supporters cite their success in gaining the enactment of paid sick day laws in Connecticut and six U.S. cities — the District of Columbia, Jersey City, N.J., New York City, Portland, Ore., San Francisco and Seattle–as proof that the campaign is gaining momentum." Opponents are fighting back with, among other steps, legislation passed in at least ten states specifying that municipal home rule does not include the authority to enact ordinances of this sort. [Rhonda Smith, Bloomberg BNA]
Taking FMLA leave — while working another job
If a worker has been taking leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act for "extreme fatigue" or "mental distress" and you as an employer discover that they're working another job, you might think it's okay to dismiss them just for the lack of candor. But don't assume that! Under the current state of the law, if you've informed employees expressly that you've got a policy against working at other jobs and if you've "uniformly applied" that policy, that is to say, applied it rigidly in the past whatever the equities of the particular situation, then maybe you'll be in the clear. Maybe. [Christopher Engler, Connecticut Employment Law Blog]

Re: So *thirty* years after "privatization" BT still has an effective infrastructure monopoly.
Pretty much spot on but I have to take issue with.
cash flow -> Fat pay rises to executives (doing the same job) + dividends to share holders (mainly pension funds, like every other major company in the UK)
Pension funds are interested in long term returns, hence the current trend towards getting them to fund long term infrastructure projects. Short-term returns such as higher dividends don't suit that. If the pension funds really are in control then you would expect more investment to encourage future returns.

FOX's AMERICAN IDOL Hits All-Time Series Ratings Low
Showbiz411 reports that last night's episode of the one-time FOX juggernaut American Idol hit an all time series low, delivering a 2.2 rating in the key demo with less than 10 million total viewers (9.71 million.)
The results followed Wednesday's performance show which fared a bit better, earning a 2.7 rating with 10.53 million viewers. The drop illustrates that overall, viewers are not very interested in which contestant would be eliminated in the second week of competition.
In comparison, last night's episode of CBS's "The Big Bang Theory", which went head to head with the singing competiion, had almost 18 million viewers.
About AMERICAN IDOL:
No other show in TV history has proven to be a force in the entertainment industry like AMERICAN IDOL. American Idol solidified itself as the No. 1 television show for nine consecutive seasons and, following its 12thseason, still remains a Top 5 program. IDOL is the gold standard and the only TV singing competition show to produce hit recording artists. From the first-ever IDOL winner, Kelly Clarkson, who continues to dominate the charts with three Grammy Awards under her belt, to Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips, whose debut single, "Home," has become the best-selling single of any IDOL to date, American Idol is a bona fide cultural phenomenon. Season 12 winner Candice Glover continues to show the strength of the IDOL brand when her album, "Music Speaks," was the first album from an IDOL to debut in the Top 5 on iTunes when it was issued for pre-order on the night of the series' season finale.

A group of people who just annoy the shit out of innocent people and sometimes "jump" them. These groups of people are usually found in the city, downtown, and public transportation. They are known for usually messing with skaters. Flash Mobbers have no relation to the other groups of people that appear from out of nowhere, to perform predetermined actions, designed to amuse and confuse surrounding people.

Heat helpersJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, right, and Craig Fullerton from East Randolph blow loose cellulose insulation into the attic of Linda Morse's home in Williamstown on Friday.
Heating a home during a cold Vermont winter is expensive. To help ease the pain, many are turning to weatherization projects. The Central Vermont Community Action Council has five crews working year-round to button up homes in our area. These services are free of charge to central Vermonters who meet income qualifications. Others can hire these trained crews for audits and renovations. People who go through the process typically save 30 to 35 percent on their heating fuel usage. On Friday, a CVCAC crew was at the home of Linda Morse in Williamstown. Above, Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, right, and Craig Fullerton, of East Randolph, blow loose cellulose insulation into the attic of Morse's home. Scott was on the job as part of his "Vermont Everyday Jobs Tour."

Author Bio
Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in Little House in the Big Woods. She and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. Later, Laura and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There, believing in the importance of knowing where you began in order to appreciate how far you've come, Laura wrote about her childhood growing up on the American frontier. For millions of readers Laura lives on forever as the little pioneer girl in the beloved Little House books.
Renée Graef received her bachelor's degree in art from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. She is the illustrator of numerous titles in the Little House publishing program, as well as Rodgers and Hammerstein's My Favorite Things and E.T.A Hoffman's The Nutcracker, adapted by Janet Schulman. She lives in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, with her husband and two children.
Product Reviews
Marcia Reisinger5 Stars Out Of 5Very heartwarming for those who enjoy Laura's famiAugust 23, 2012Marcia ReisingerQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4The warmth of the characters in these Big Woods Paper Dolls is heartwarming. Very realistic in it's characters and the clothes and accessories. The only problem was that the characters you punch out, but the clothes and accessories you have to cut out yourself. All 34 of them. I gave it to my 7 year old granddaughter on her birthday. She and her 2 sisters love the show. Having to cut them out outweighed the joy on their faces.
Jewel3 Stars Out Of 5Takes a long time to cut out!!!!December 25, 2010JewelQuality: 5Value: 3Meets Expectations: 1These paper dolls are beautifully done, and the outfits fit very nicely on the dolls and make a wonderful playset. However, I was very surprised to discover that the dresses and accessories had to be cut out by hand. The description says "several easy-to-detach and authentic outfits for each character", so I was not expecting to have to cut everything out by hand, but assumed they would be punch outs like other paper doll sets we have had. These dolls were a Christmas gift for my 6-year old, who definitely could not cut out such small, detailed items by herself. She was anxious to play with them, so I spent a good part of my Christmas day cutting out paper dolls! These are very nice dolls, but I think the description is quite misleading, so please be aware that these will require a lot of time to get ready to play with!
JOSHUA L.5 Stars Out Of 5January 25, 2010JOSHUA L.I love playing with these. It makes you want to go back into those times with all the pretty dresses. I have had these for 2 years. They are very nice. But they tend to rip a little too. But they can be taped back, and you can hardly tell that they've been ripped. Excellent collection, especially if you like the Little House show or books.You will not regret buying these. Very nice. A+++++++++++++++Highly recommended!!!
Donald Mowery5 Stars Out Of 5January 5, 2009Donald MoweryExcellent, old-fashioned paper dolls. Just what 92-year-old great-grandmother wanted to give her great-grandaughters. She and the girls enjoyed playing with them together.

I know I can do a simple auto-refresh on some of my webpages (for example, the Home page of my site) by inserting a meta tag like
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600">
But after doing this I'm getting really long page duration and session duration. This is not realistic, and I think that the refresh does not "reset" the page duration counter, which I think should happen.
I guess this could be done with a hard refresh (Ctrl-F5 in Windows, Option+R in MacOSX), but I don't know if it is possible to force the refresh to be a hard refresh... or if this kind of refresh would serve to my purpose.

Faculty Senate Minutes
March 25, 2015
Blount County Campus
- Call to Order: Keith Norris
Meeting was called to order by Norris. Senators in attendance: Amy Tankersley (TS), Gabe Crowell (Adjunct), Mike Murphy (Division Street), Bob Stern (Math), Charles Cardwell (LA), Trent Eades (English), Lawana Day (English), John May (EMT), Ron Goodrich (EMT), Lucinda Alexander (BCT) Amy Lavelle (BCT), Pat Zingg (NBS), Ann Sherman (Nursing), Margaret McCrary (Blount County Rep), Bob Boyd (Magnolia Rep), Cindy Arnold (BCT), Heather Schroeder (English), Jean Jackson (Library Science),Dave Vinson (TBR Rep) Donn King (Parliamentarian), Sally Lighter (Communications Officer), Jeff Lockett (Secretary), Keith Norris (Business Officer), Alex Fitzner (President Elect), Mark Frentes (Co-Chair, Promotion and Tenure), Kelly Toon (Chair, Faculty Development), Dr Anthony Wise, (Guest), Dr Rebecca Ashford, (Guest), Aaron Overall, (Guest), Rick Patton, (Guest), Chester Needham, (Guest)
2. Approval of Minutes: Keith Norris
Minutes of the February 25, 2015 meeting were approved without objections or discussion.
Suspension of rules to allow, Rebecca Ashford, VP of Student Affairs, to speak as a guest. Dr. Ashford gave a presentation about a possible early alert system. Last year, the College purchased the Hobson's Student Management System. The system includes both recruitment and retention modules, the latter of which includes an early alert program. Dr. Ashford and Aaron Overall gave a brief demonstration of the faculty view of the early alert system. Dr. Ashford asked for suggestions on how to move forward with the early alert program. The Faculty expressed that they approved of the system and some agreed to pilot the program(s) over the summer.
President Wise followed Dr. Ashford's presentation with a number of topics for the Senate. Initially he stated that the fiscal year and outlook for PSCC is good and that increases in tuition for next year will be minimal, and used to support a 1.5% salary increase for employees. The increase in enrollment in fall 2015 should be somewhere around 2200 if the projections from interested TN Promise students are correct. Dr. Wise spoke on his desire to keep the ratio of full-time to adjunct instructors near the current 60%-40% range. He stated that hiring needs would be based on enrollment and that there are no new hires this year outside of retiring faculty. Temporary, full-time contracts will only be employed to fill vacancies for one year. This is sometimes necessary when there is not enough time to conduct a faculty search during the year in which a faculty member retires or otherwise leaves his or her position. New hires for those positions would be offered tenure-track appointments the following academic year. Next Dr. Wise mentioned the recent passing of Bill Brewer and the loss of Nina McPherson and the establishment of the Nina McPherson Outstanding Service to the College award. The first awardee will be Bill Brewer. Bill's widow, Sharon, will accept the (posthumous) award at this year's Employee Appreciation Awards' Ceremony.
During questioning from the senators, Dr. Wise acknowledged potential problems for students entering the college whose preparedness is inadequate. Dave Vinson, (ever the optimist) pointed out the probability that without other course alternatives a student entering the school with a math ACT score of 12 will have no chance for success when placed into a course with embedded remediation. His opinion is that the student will fail and skew our pass/fail ratio outside of acceptable numbers. Dr. Wise acknowledged that only time will tell.
Senate Quorum reached at 4:37
Minutes approved
III. Officer Reports:
- Secretary: Jeff Lockett- No Report.
- Communications: Sally Lighter-No report
- TBR Representative:
Dave Vinson to meet with Dr. Denley of TBR to determine if new policies put in place, which could conceivably replace tenure track with term hires and three year contracts, was an oversight on his part or intentional. Vinson contends that if the new policy was implemented accidentally then Denley needs to acknowledge this and do what is necessary to correct it as it concerns community colleges.
- President:
Tyra Barrett introduced the idea that faculty have no specific legal advocate at our disposal should we need legal representation regarding our positions at the college. She acknowledged that members of the United Campus Workers' (UCW) union might be better off with regard to representation. Barrett's next topic included results of an Executive Summary of PSCC Policy concerning a security assessment. She stated that the report was mostly favorable with regard to PSCC policy as it pertains to short-term, intermediate and long-term recommendations for improvement. Among the things mentioned were "panic buttons" which could be used to alert security of potential problems. These were especially recommended near the entrance to the school at our information building and the cashier and financial aid offices. Another potential problem with security brought up by Barrett concerns the wide distribution of DF12 keys and a need to have a better plan for their management and regulation.
- Committee Reports:
Adjunct representative:
Gabe Crowell mentioned his desire to implement an "Adjunct Teach-in Day on April 15. His plan will request that adjunct instructors will hold their classes outdoors as a way to call attention to the college's use of adjunct faculty.
Student Scholarships: Pat Zingg announced that the faculty book sale for scholarships is underway and that boxes have been distributed around campuses. Additional boxes can be obtained in GN 259; the sale dates are 3/30-4/1 on the Hardin Valley campus. She announced that there is still a great need for volunteers and that this year she has seen far too little with regard to volunteer help. She announced that she had taken on the burden of the book sale almost single handedly and that she needed and expected the senators and college departments to step up their assistance.
- Rules Committee: No report.
- Nominating Committee: No report.
Promotion/Tenure Committee: Mark Fuentes reports that the P/T meetings all took place and that the recommendations have been sent to Dr. Lewis and that they will be sent to Dr. Wise and then to TBR for final approval.
New Faculty Orientation: Kellie Toon said that the Quality Enhancement Program (QEP) is progressing well and that the New Faculty Academy has one more session left this semester. She also mentioned that she has applied for a grant to be applied to a new online teaching center.
Faculty Lecture Series: No Report.
- Unfinished Business:
An ad-hoc committee looking into the removal of Learning Council as a policy– making body reports that the Dean's Council is now the academic policy maker. The names of its members were disclosed and the committee is preparing a statement to present to the senate at the April meeting.
Barrett reports that adjunct faculty is not adequately defined at PSCC in policy and that Dr. Lewis responded that TBR returned his inquiry about adjunct faculty definition and grievance procedures. Currently adjuncts are not listed as faculty or staff with TBR, and Barrett charged Gabe Crowell with chairing an adjunct policy committee on change and grievance and to bring in new adjunct senate members. She said they should look at policies that apply and to help create an updated definition.
Next Barrett brought up the response from TBR legal that Dr. Lewis received concerning a proposal for a PSCC policy on office privacy. The response advised against pushing for such a written policy because it might force a larger TBR policy that would further remove rights from individuals regarding the contents of their offices. TBR appears to want to do away with any definitions of "private" on campus thus removing any liability to themselves for loss or damage. It was agreed that the senate would come back to this issue at the April meeting.
- New Business:
Heather Schroeder made a motion that the senate express support of the use of the Hobson's early alert faculty reporting tool and appoint representatives to assist in the deliberation about and eventual implementation of said tool. Trent Eades seconded the motion and the motion passed on first vote.
- Announcements:
Our next meeting was announced for April 29, 2015 on the Hardin Valley campus.
VIII. Meeting was adjourned at 5:40.

How the media can enable extremismPosted: June 5, 2015 Filed under: Media | Tags: bernie sanders, obamacare, Salon, ted cruz Leave a comment
Heather Digby Parton has an excellent article in Salon, analyzing the extremism of the political right compared to the left, and touching on the media's culpability in perpetuating a false equivalence between the two.
Read it at Salon. It's worth your time to.
The question is why is the media so timid about pointing out the real differences between a conservative and a liberal in their distance from the mythical political center? Parton cites a statement by Ted Cruz equating an unwillingness to unravel Obamacare with Neville Chamberlain appeasing the Nazis, and one by Bernie Sanders arguing that corporations aren't people.
"Sure, some might think that bringing up the Nazis in the context of Obamacare is over the top, but railing against the idea of corporations having First Amendment rights when the Supreme Court has clearly said they do is just as extreme, right?" she writes. "And anyway, he actually calls himself a socialist, which is so kooky that you don't really even have to know any more about him to see that he's a far left nut."
The question that remains unanswered is just when and why the media stopped being able to see the difference between statements such as the above.
It has been the case for a long time. False equivalency usually goes under the guise of "objectivity." But being objective doesn't require being gullible. One can make the observation that invoking Nazis in your objection to the presidential administration is hyperbolic without giving up objectivity.
Perception Equals Reality — or Does it?Posted: April 5, 2015 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Media blogger Jim Romenesko wrote that the Forum of Fargo-Moorhead "tried to shame lawmakers for voting against a bill that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation," provoking some pushback from the editor, Matthew Von Pinnon.
Romenesko writes: "We did not do it to shame anyone, as many people are [implying]," he says. "We did it simply to convey the info people wanted to know, no matter which side of the issue they are on. They wanted to know how each lawmaker voted. We shared all votes, including from the Senate, which had earlier narrowly passed the bill."
Many people have praised the paper for taking a bold stand for LGBT people, or shaming lawmakers who voted against protection.
Von Pinnon insists the paper was doing no such thing; it was simply reporting which way all of the state's legislators voted.
The paper printed the pictures and names of all of the lawmakers who voted against the protections on its front page; by process of elimination, readers who bother to do some research can probably figure out who voted in favor. But I am not sure Von PInnon's explanation really holds water. By singling out the no voters, the newspaper is at least giving the appearance of wanting their identities to be known.
I suppose it remains an open question whether the identification is in support or opposition, but either way, the newspaper is not providing an equally-weighted slate of yeas and nays. It is specifically highlighting the nays. The reason may be unstated, but it is certainly easy to see why people might take it as pro-LGBT advocacy.
On an editorial page, that would be fine. In news coverage, though, it raises some concerns. Perhaps the editorial page should address those concerns soon for clarity.

Did NBC anchor Brian Williams lie, or misremember, when he told the story (again and again) of having been shot down in a helicopter over Iraq? NBC News has launched an investigation, so we should have an official determination soon. It has emerged that some of his other vivid personal experiences are also being reconsidered.
Williams is charming and personable, and his frequent appearances in entertainment venues such as The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon make him appealing. And yet.
Neither dishonesty nor a poor memory are desirable traits in a reporter. I can't get inside of his mind to know whether he was deliberately embellishing stories or not, but … my intuition tells me that a person would not be so mentally confused as to not know for sure whether or not he was shot down in a combat zone.
Kirby Delauter's belligerence backfires on Kirby DelauterPosted: January 7, 2015 Filed under: Media Leave a comment
This story practically tells itself: A small-town councilman demands that the local newspaper not print his name or refer to him without his permission, or face legal consequences. Everybody laughs at him.
The paper in question reported the story, without Kirby Delauter's consent (here), then followed up with an appropriately mocking editorial (here, and look closely for the secret code). The rest of the Internet, or a big segment of it anyway, happily joined in the takedown.
Kirby Delauter apparently has no idea how democracy, freedom or the U.S. Constitution work.
New York Times' David Carr and the business of journalismPosted: December 1, 2014 Filed under: Media | Tags: David Carr, New York Times Leave a comment
The challenges that the Internet has created for the traditional journalism business model is old news by now, but the New York Times' David Carr details some of the tactics newspapers are trying to cut costs, such as buyouts, layoffs and paying reporters in gift cards for taking double-duty as delivery drivers.
So far, the only one of these phenomena I've encountered is layoffs—I've lost two jobs in 11 years to cost-cutting, and seen the same thing happen to dozens of colleagues over the years. There is no doubt, though, that times are hard for ink-on-paper businesses. (I am not sure that will always be the case, but it is for now.)
Journalism is an industry struggling to adapt to the new era; as I see it, there are two possible solutions.
Option One is give up allegiance to print. If the world is getting its news online, that's where you need to give it to them. The downside of this, as traditionally print operations are finding when they try to do this, is that online journalism as both much more competitive (many more people able to enter the field, as Carr explains) and much less profitable.
Option Two is make your print material exclusive, valuable and not freely available online. The downside of this is that it won't work for a daily newspaper. It would be next to impossible to create material regarding local news that is so exclusive and unique that it entices any significant number of people to pay for it. It is a model that could work for more specialized media though.
The truth is that journalism is an industry in transition, and where it ends up may not look much like where it started. For me and my colleagues trying to survive the evolution, this is what the Chinese proverb would call "interesting times."
This guy posted a screen-capture comparing headlines. What happened next made me smile.Posted: November 25, 2014 Filed under: Media | Tags: clickbait, Rolling Stone, Upworthy Leave a comment
While reading an article at Salon,I noticed that the sidebar was showing a textbook example of SEO-friendly web headlines (Rolling Stone) vs. clickbait (Upworthy). Take a look.
Rolling Stone's heds are simple, declarative and most include at least one name. Upworthy's are vague, teasing and designed to entice the reader to click through to the story to find out what the heck is going on.
SEO-friendly headlines are more likely to bring in readers from Google or other search engines (are there other search engines?) They run the risk, however, of making the reader feel that the headline has provided enough pertinent information; clickbait heds, by contrast, are less likely to produce search engine hits — they are usually spread virally — but may entice a larger percentage of people to go to the article to find out what it's all about.
Upworthy-style headlines, to be honest, annoy me; but they are effective. More clicks = more ad revenue, so there is an obvious incentive.
In my years as a web editor, I've become acutely aware of how different the web is. Headlines might seem like a small detail, but in fact, the headline is probably the single most important element of the presentation. The headline plays a major role in leading people to find your content in the first place, and then to drill down from a homepage to the individual article. Balancing clarity (good for search engines) with intrigue (good for encouraging click-throughs) is a constant challenge.

The St. Marys Area School District issued their 2014 annual report which is available on the district website at www.smasd.org. Their four main goals, which Superintendent Ann Kearney said had been continuously changed and narrowed down, pertain to graduation rate, mathematics, English Language Arts and School Performance Profile (SPP).
Also included in the report are a summary of the facilities and the work completed in 2013, demographics/statistics, budget and grants, professional development, information on individual schools, music and athletics programs.
SMETHPORT – A preliminary hearing for the alleged drug-influenced driver in a six-fatality traffic accident is tentatively scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, Jan. 27 before Kane District Court Judge Dave Engman.
The driver-- Kathleen S. Douglas, 37, of Kane--Â is charged with manslaughter in the horrific accident Aug. 31 on Route 219 near Lantz Corners.
Douglas faces 35 charges, including 15 felonies linked with the accident that killed her 12-year-old daughter, Olivia, her 6-year-old nephew Jarrett Costanzo of Kane and four members of a St. Marys family.Â
Several changes have been implemented in the St. Marys Area School District lunch program
following responses submitted as part of a survey. On a daily basis up to 1,900 students utilize the school meal program in five separate buildings.
"The comments, concerns, and suggestions are not only appreciated, but will also be used to improve our quality, service, and commitment to our students in providing them with a healthy, well-balanced breakfast and lunch," said Jennifer Asti, director of food services.
By now, it is well known that the Benedictine Sisters will soon be leaving St. Marys. While their story in St. Marys is drawing to a close, how it began and the legacy they left will always be a part of the community's history. Much of their early story was documented by historian Charlie Schaut in his book 'History of St. Marys: The Formative Years,' which was published in 1968.

Today's Publishing Perspectives includes an editorial that I wrote about the "state of translations" in America attempting to explain the dip in the number of translations coming out this year:
For years, people have speculated that the number of literary works in translation being published in the United States has been in decline. I say "speculate," because the publishing industry — which is notoriously poor at market research and data gathering — didn't really keep track of how many translations were being published here, instead relying almost entirely on wistful memories of days gone by and other equally questionable anecdotal evidence. Two years ago, I started a "Translation Database" at the Web site ThreePercent.com to finally quantify what's going on with literature in translation, and although data for 2009 is still coming in, it looks like there will be a bit of a drop off this year — of as much as 10%.
On one hand, this is pretty easy to explain: it's because of the economy. But in my opinion, we're talking about two different economic problems causing this. Book sales are down, which really hurts commercial presses and makes them less likely to publish "expensive" books like translations. And at the same time, nonprofits and university presses (which publish the bulk of translations already), are struggling to find funding, what with foundations losing a lot of their endowments in the stock market, and individual donors struggling as well.
It's a crappy situation, and unless a few rainmakers appear, 2010 will most likely see a further drop in translations being published in America . . . Just a little happy note to kick off your Friday . . .

Making a return to his alma mater, this time in a coaching capacity, is former Mizzou linebacking standout Brandon Barnes. Barnes joined the Tiger coaching staff in June as defensive quality control graduate assistant. In this newly-created role, Barnes will be responsible for assisting with day-to-day operations of the defensive coaching staff, including video breakdown, scouting, computer and video informational input, as well as providing various assistance with recruiting operations.
The Sikeston, Mo. native won honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors as a senior for Mizzou in 2003, when he notched a career-best 117 tackles, adding 10 tackles for loss, one quarterback sack, two interceptions, three fumble recoveries and one forced fumble for Gary Pinkel's first winning season at MU. That squad went 8-5 and reached the 2003 Independence Bowl.
Barnes earned his undergraduate degree from Mizzou in interdisciplinary studies in May of 2004, and signed a free agent contract with the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League following the 2004 NFL Draft. He played with the Ravens as part of their practice squad through week three of that season, and was then picked up by the Washington Redskins, where he played the rest of the season, primarily on special teams. Barnes was with the Redskins through September of 2005 before his playing days came to an end.
Following his pro career, Barnes worked in commercial sales in the Kansas City, Mo., area, and then switched to advertising sales in 2007, before making the move to the coaching ranks. He will be pursuing a master's degree in health education at MU.
Barnes is married to the former Deon Hollis, a Kansas City native who is also a Mizzou graduate, and also was part of the Tiger Hostess group in her days at MU. The couple has a Terrier dog named Jada, who Barnes got from former teammate, the late Damien Nash.

Williams to play in Wimbledon women's final
Updated: July 1, 2005, 9:44 AM ETBy Wayne Drehs | ESPN.com
WIMBLEDON, England When the match was finally over, when Venus Williams had finished reasserting herself as a force in women's tennis, the 25-year-old's cell phone rang.
On the other end was Serena, at home in the United States.
"Venus?" her younger sister asked. "Can I have your autograph?"
It was obviously a joke, just the latest banter between America's most famous tennis sisters. But it didn't need to be. For Venus was just that dominating Thursday against defending ...

Traveled over 14 hours to see Dr. Sinervo. He was very patient thorough and knew what he was talking about. I never thought that I would wake up pain-free and he made that possible. The nurses were more than amazing. I've never been treated so well!

Words can not express how very thankful my husband and I are for having found Dr. Sinervo. I must acknowledge, God is always right on time. This has truly been and is an amazing journey. Keeping our faith and listening to that voice inside led us to the right group. Thank you Dr. Sinervo and staff for your compassion, kindness and professionalism. We've had our share of doctors and there is no comparison. May God continue to bless you all and continue touching so many more lives.

Before I found Dr. Sinervo, I had been through a slew of local doctors and had no luck. After doing my research, I knew I wanted to go ahead and pursue surgery for endometriosis. Dr. Sinervo and his staff walked me through everything---before AND after (I had wonderful follow up direct from his office---and I live 6 hours away out of state!). Furthermore, Dr. Sinervo was wise enough to see my appendix was about to go and take care of that as well (saving me a trip to the ER going home). The professionalism and compassion of he and all of his staff is hands down the best I've experienced anywhere. When the staff at the hospital where I was operated on saw who my doctor was, they told me, "Wow--you are so lucky: he is the greatest!" And they are absolutely right: my endo is gone, my adhesions from a previous surgery were removed, my appendix was safely removed and my recovery is going well. I am so happy to be pain free and back to my life. Thank you, Dr. Sinervo, Dr. Albee and the staff at Center for Endometriosis Care!

The staff and Dr Sinervo were comforting and extremely kind. I wouldn't look anywhere else for treatment. I would recommend them to anyone going through the pain of endo. For being petrified about having the surgery, this team did everything in their power to relax me.

It was worth the 6 plus hour drive to see Dr. Sinervo. It was my first lap for endo and I knew that I only wanted the best. I don't want to be the person to have 8 failed surgeries before getting it right. Dr Sinervo and his staff have been amazing. I'm just over 3 weeks post op and I am sti recovering, but I can already tell a difference. The staff has been great about follow ups and answering all my questions. Dr Sinervo really took the time to explain and answer all my questions. I'm not a religious person, but I really appreciated that he said a prayer with me before the surgery. And he let me take my stuffed animal into the operating room and that really helped ease some of my anxiety. He was great with my family also. His surgery notes were so detailed and my regular OB (who is doing my post op care) said he's never seen notes so detailed and that it was really going to help him follow my care better. All in all, if I had to do it over again, I would in a heartbeat. I can't recommend him high enough.

Dr Sinervo and his staff were wonderful, caring and well worth the trip. This was my first lap for endo and if I was going to get diagnosed I wanted to go with the best and the CEC is as good as I had hoped. I was so nervous the day of that I was shaking until I made it to their office, then I felt a peace that got better and better - no more shaking and after meeting Deedee and Dr. Sinervo I was ready to get the show on the road. My husband was highly impressed (he had done his own research) and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was diagnosed with PFD and stage 2 endo with some adhesions. My recovery is going good and the only hard part is staying still... I have a toddler. I know excision is not a cure but I will gladly go back to the CEC and Dr. Sinervo for any similar symptoms. Thank you Dr S and Dr Albee!!

I would highly recommend Dr. Sinervo to anyone suffereing from endometriosis, adenomyosis, and other female issues. He is a knowledable, professional, and caring doctor. After sumbitting my case for review he called me a week later to explain what he would do in the operating room and gave me a 70 % chance to conceive naturally. The day of my surgery he held my hand and played a song in the operating room to calm my nerves. The team of doctors he works with are great, too!!! I am grateful to Dr. Sinervo for his caring nature, kindness, and desire to help me which surpasses any doctor I've ever encountered.
Dr. Sinervo's staff are also kind, professional, and empathetic ---thank you for all of your help!!!
I am so happy my friend who also suffered from endometriosis referred me to Dr. Sinervo. Thank you for making a difference in my quality of life!!! May God bless you and your loved one!!!!!!!!!!!

Recent Bainbridge Island reviews
"We booked the cottage for my son, daughter in law and young granddaughter. The proprietors could not of been more accommodating and helpful. After a 33 hours of travel, they were exhausted and this was a perfect place for them to rest. Kid friendly, spacious for a young family of three and everything you needed when you are away from home. My family got in very late (actually early the next morning) and Patricia and her husband were great about making sure the cottage was ready for them to get their wee one down for the night. Close to everything and price was very reasonable. Will definitely book there again next time we are on the island."Guest: Jenifer B.

This home is right on the beach, in fact when your in bed, it looks like you are hanging over the water. There are no neighbors in site, totally private, great beach, shallow, and totally pet friendly! This place has the "wow factor", pictures don't do it justice!

"My daughter and I had a delightful time staying at this cottage. After flying across the country and dealing with the holiday crowds, it was nothing short of heavenly to arrive at the cottage and unlock the door to the totally charming and soothing colors, lovely and comfy furniture, and pleasing layout of the cottage. Getting up in the morning and heading down to the little shopping area to visit the wonderful bakery for fresh baked muffins, we could hear seals out on the water, something we sure never hear here in the other Washington! We had a wonderful time and hated to leave. The neighbors couldn't be nicer, and there are marvelous walks in any direction. We will definitely be back, and would have happily stayed forever! The owner and her daughter were a pleasure to deal with, and everything was just as promised."Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: November 2014 Review Submitted: December 3, 2014View listing
"This garage apartment on Bainbridge Island is a jewel. It is clean, full of sunlight with views of the water all around. The apartment is modern, new, beautifully decorated and furnished. Everything you could want or need is provided in a charming way. Loved the fresh flowers in the bath and dining areas. The kitchen is fully equipped, laundry room right there, TV in both the living room and bedroom. We carried our cocktails out to the private sitting area on the water and enjoyed some beautiful sunsets. We did not make use of the bicycles, but should have as the roads are very friendly. The hosts were very helpful and friendly yet never "in your face." We loved the island and traveled from there to several other towns and areas - there was all sorts of helpful literature available in the apartment as well as on line. Having a bedroom separate from the living area is a must for us as our sleeping and waking patterns are not the same and this apartment worked perfectly. The bed was excellent and the neighborhood quiet. The bathroom is also separate from the bedroom, but close enough for the middle of the night trips. We found great restaurants and shopping, with friendly helpful people. The water is just beautiful and the island itself is charming and peaceful with wonderful trees and quiet areas. We would definitely recommend the Bloedel Nature Reserve on the island - amazing! Overall, just a perfect place! We would definitely go back again."Guest: Craig D.
