Vaya con las olas.
I'm generally optimistic, outgoing, I keep my promises. My areas of opportunity include being too blunt, and I don't like to waste my time if its not something that interests me. I try to work out every day and succeed mostly five out of seven :) My family is everything to me and will always come first, so someone who comes from a big family would be welcome. I have traveled, I love to sing (whether I'm good or not is debatable), hair and makeup is my thing but so is dirt and cowgirl boots. I love WORKING. Like, yard work, barn cleaning, building houses, anything that involves hard labor, I'm built for it. Every woman wants to be pampered, I am no different but I will never ask for it, it is expected! To all of you men out there, I like height and the innate ability to plan adventures. Im all for cuddle days but please, no couch potatoes. Have a stable career and a huge want for a family of your own. If you're afraid to walk around in a tiara with fingernail polish on in the house because thats what your little girl asked you to do, you need not apply. Be Silly!! Be intelligent, please. I love deep conversation about things that matter and some things that dont. Speak properly, Ebonics is pretty much the bane of my existence next to bad table manners and broken promises! I know who I am and I know what I want from life. Do you?

Your 'horn' makes fine music
Last week we talked about aging and our inclination to kill time. Some thoughtful person suggested that we stop worrying about aging when we give ourselves credit for our efforts.
We are quick to pat a friend on the back for job well done, so why are we so slow to take credit when we do well? If we can accept a sense of accomplishment, it can be so good for our morale that it may even improve our health. That is better than an increase in salary.
My father was not well educated, but he understood the psychology involved here. When we started a large project he would caution us not to look at how big it was, just look how quickly you can make a start. When he came back later to check on progress, if he found inferior work he never cut us down. He would say something such as, "Maybe you should try this" or "See if it looks better this way."
He didn't realize it, but he was teaching us management skills, too. We three brothers all held management positions as adults, so our father's training was not wasted.
In years past, speaking only of your skills and abilities was considered bragging.
Today it may be necessary to toot your own horn just to get attention. If you don't speak of your abilities, they may go unnoticed. Speaking of your abilities is no longer boasting, but failing to do so may prove expensive. I have yet to learn of anyone who was hired or promoted for a talent or learning that was kept hidden.
My main concern is still where it was when I started this one-sided conversation. Not with the workers who are now reasonably well-protected, but with the husband or wife or any individual who does the best he knows. And when that isn't good enough and the world starts bemoaning, then what happens? They join the attack, instead of raising their chin, forgiving themselves and clearing the decks for a new and better approach. Give me a break.
A few of the more fortunate residents have family or friends who visit us on a regular schedule. "Regular" is the operative word here. I have told you of a friend who visits me on alternate Thursday mornings.
I manage to stay busy every day, but those visits are marked in advance on my calendar, and I look forward to them, knowing that she is very careful to stay on schedule. Many others have relatives who are faithful - some come here every day. If you have a couple of hours a week that are not fully utilized, become a regular visitor. You can make a wonderful difference in someone's life. See the activities director and insist she make it official.
Those of us who can move around on our own, even if we are in a wheelchair, are well advised to do so. Mobility is too important to your health and happiness to surrender it before necessary.
Don't be too proud to accept help, but you can go almost anywhere in a wheelchair.
There is a position open at a nursing home near you. You are fully qualified, so why not apply today? There is no salary, but you'll find it the most rewarding job you have ever had. Stewart Elliott, a resident of Pine Haven Health and Rehabilitation Center, can be reached firstname.lastname@example.com or at 464-9009 or 3400 Stocker Drive, Evansville, Ind. 47720.

text: Concert Alicia Lemke and Friends Friday / July 30, 2010 / 8:00 p.m. Red Room at Cafe 939 939 Boylston Street Boston MA United States 02115 Alicia Lemke A native of Madison, Wisconsin, Alicia Lemke is a young singer/songwriter currently attending Berklee on scholarship. Both an accomplished jazz singer and self-taught guitarist, Lemke began writing her own brand of folk music a little over a year ago, and has just released her first original EP titled Shades of Motion. Musically speaking, Lemke is an amalgam of poetic and whimsical lyrics, lilting melody, and fingerstyle guitar, with a clear, graceful, and strong voice. Her songs speak of her own self-awareness, honesty, and personal experience. Though her first forays into music were in community musical theater as early as middle school, Lemke's real passion came from 10 years of classical alto saxophone and jazz baritone saxophone. Her leadership in high school propelled her into college jazz ensemble, where she doubled on baritone sax and vocals. Her discovery of vocal jazz inspired her to take a semester off from school to work under the tutelage of jazz piano legend Garry Dial (Manhattan School of Music) in Manhattan. It was during that spring that she picked up acoustic guitar, and upon encouragement from her mentor Mr. Dial, auditioned for Berklee College of Music. Russell Lacy is a native Virginia fingerpicker who meshes old-time and bluegrass music with his own interpretations of Delta blues and songster traditions. His songwriting drifts easily from ballads to blues numbers, and by playing the chords, melody, and bass simultaneously, Lacy creates a full sound that is reminiscent of John Hurt, Doc Watson, Robert Johnson, and countless others in American roots music. The Groove praised Nathan Reich's album Arms Around a Ghost as featuring "serious songwriting. . . literary but straightforward, playful but honest." Admission: Free Read more about Alicia Lemke and Friends Aaron Gottlieb Trio Thursday / July 22, 2010 / 1:00 p.m. Steve Heck Room 1140 Boylston Street Boston MA United States 02215 The Heck Room Music Series is a monthly concert series featuring Berklee's top acoustic performers. Jazz drummer Aaron Gottlieb spent his formative years growing up in Michigan City, Indiana. Frequently, he would go into the city with his father to the blues clubs and was allowed to sit in, developing his ears under the guidance of older musicians. Gottlieb credits his band director for steering him towards the jazz idiom. "My band director put up these flyers in the back of the band room about an Ed Shaughnessy clinic that was going to take place. There was a picture of this guy with huge sideburns, a huge turquoise medallion, a monster Ludwig kit, and he looked like he was having a blast. Having never seen The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, I had no clue as to who this guy was. A few days later, my grandmother, who always played Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington records whenever I visited, found Rich Versus Roach in an old record store and gave it to me. After those two events, I was hooked. I started listening to all of the great jazz drummers: Elvin Jones, Joe Morello, Ed Thigpen, the list goes on. I suppose the rest is history." In high school, Gottlieb took lessons from local legend Eddie Knight of South Bend, Indiana. Later, he attended Indiana University, where he studied percussion with Steve Houghton and Andy Smith. Feeling that Indiana was no longer the best place to truly grow as a musician, Gottlieb transferred to Berklee. Majoring in music business, he still manages to maintain a regular performance schedule as a bandleader and sideman. Currently, Gottlieb studies with Casey Scheuerell and Yoron Israel, and is making plans to record his first album. Admission: Free and open to the public Read more about Aaron Gottlieb Trio Same Mistake Twice / Jaci and Those Guys Saturday / July 24, 2010 / 8:00 p.m. Red Room at Cafe 939 939 Boylston Street Boston MA United States 02115 Same Mistake Twice Join us for a free night of female-led pop-punk. Same Mistake Twice is a Boston-based pop-punk band that met while attending Berklee College of Music. They have had a solid four-piece lineup for about a year, but are more excited than ever to begin their journey together. Last summer they played three Warped Tour dates, and this summer they plan on doing the entire tour. They also opened for Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls in mid-April. Their lead singer, Alisha Dixon, has auditioned for American Idol about six times and was seen on the 2008 Hollywood week in season 7! With catchy lyrics and spiteful undertones, the band members hope that each song has a meaning that changes on a person-to-person basis. Jaci and Those Guys will be opening the show. The band recently won a scholarship to Berklee's Five-Week Summer Performance Program through a battle of the bands held at the Red Room. The band's sound is more than just accessible: It comes at a fast pace with an occasional heaviness. J&TG has done well in multiple sponsored events, and the band's success is sure to continue.

Admission: Read more about Siena Jazz Meets Berklee Global Jazz Institute The Christoph Huber & Nikolas Anadolis Quartet and the Italo Cunha Group Tuesday / September 21, 2010 / 8:00 p.m. Red Room at Cafe 939 939 Boylston Street Boston MA United States 02115 Jazz Revelation Records Christoph Huber was born 1988 in Aarau, Switzerland. With his father being a professional pianist, composer, and arranger, he grew up in a very musical environment. After starting out with a recorder and Swiss melodeon, he began taking lessons on drums at 8 and tenor saxophone at 9 years of age. His first saxophone teacher was the Polish saxophonist and clarinetist Witek Kornacki. Huber had his first public appearances as an improviser at the age of 11. From 2004 to 2009 he studied with former Berklee faculty member Fritz Renold. During this period he started to focus on tenor saxophone as his principle instrument and the intention to pursue a career as a professional musician became clear. From 2005 to 2009 he regularly participated in the annual festival Jazzaar Concerts in Aarau, where he had the opportunity to perform with and learn from artists such as Christian Jacob, Buster Williams, Victor Lewis, Adam Nussbaum, Barry Lee Hall Jr., Tommy Smith, Donny McCaslin, Tierney Sutton, Mark Gross, Tia Fuller, the Whitney Houston Rhythm Section, Steve Reid, Tom Garling, Gildas Boclé, and many more. In addition to his practice as a performer, Huber is also developing his skills as a composer and arranger for different musical formations and instrumentations. He's currently attending Berklee College of Music in Boston on a scholarship. His saxophone teacher is Ed Tomassi. Italo Cunha—a 17-year-old jazz guitarist, composer, arranger, student, and teacher from Brasilia, Brazil—attends Berklee on a scholarship. He started playing piano at age 4, guitar at 9, and was performing professionally by 12. Cunha was chosen by the Escola de Musica de Brasilia to play for Brazil's Minister of Education as part of Young Artist Revelation. He received a contemporary musical education degree from the Toque de Classe Institute in 2007—becoming the youngest recipient ever. Relating his song to the album title, Cunha says, "I think Birds of a Feather means friendship. My song reflects that. 'Stories' is about good times and memories with my friends, that's how I got the inspiration. Friendship is one of the most valuable things we have in life." Jazz Revelation Records is a student-run, artist-driven record label created to present the top jazz composers and performers from the Berklee College of Music. Gathered from all over the globe, JRR artists speak the traditional language of jazz in a new way. Their youth, their passion, and their commitment are the launching pad for a sound that gets inside your head, your heart, and yes, you'll tap your feet and maybe hum along after a while.

They're colored by his contrasting sense of dynamics and emotive lyrics. He has recently released his new album, Micah Coast to Coast, on iTunes as he tours the East Coast. The debut recording of Alex Brumel and Janel Elizabeth, The Mill Stone, features originals by both Brumel and Elizabeth arranged for a variety of musicians, from acoustic duets with a cellist to full-band performances. Combine this recording with Brumel's third solo release, To Bring You Home (produced by drummer/writer Eric Novod and featuring ex-Dylan multi-instrumentalist David Mansfield) and Elizabeth's debut jazz EP, Live at Ronnie Scott's, and the two are embarking on a musical journey that is bound to turn heads and raise eyebrows. Perhaps Brumel says it best: "Really, we're just excited about what we've stumbled upon here, and in our own small way, we think we have something new and important to say. We just hope people enjoy it as much as we do." Ryan Schmidt just completed his debut full-length album Black Sheep, Run at Q Division Studios. His music blends the lyricism and heart of '60s folk with the eclectic and conceptual stylings of contemporary indie rock. Local and national musicians have taken notice; guests on the album include producer/bassist Ed Valauskas (The Gravel Pit, Eli "Paperboy" Reed, Howie Day), drummer Steve Scully (James Taylor, Lori McKenna), guitarist Aaron Tap (Matt Nathanson), and pianist Phil Aiken (Buffalo Tom, Will Dailey) among others.

One of the best ways to connect to God is participating in a vibrant worship service. We believe that Sunday worship services should be the most moving, life-transforming hour and a half of every week. When the church combines powerful, heart-stirring worship, with clear, uncompromising truth from the Word of God, it can't help but rouse our spirits and renovate our lives.
To love and be loved, to be supported, revitalized and challenged, to get acquainted or build lifelong friendships — there's nothing better than connecting with others. Some call them small groups, home groups or cell groups. We like to call them connect groups. It's natural and not churchy. Whatever you call them, the important thing is that you get connected. You'll never be the same.
The Church functions when people serve. We are called to have a servant's heart and engage in purposeful ministries. At The Springs Church there are multitudes of opportunities for you to get connected to ministry. Within the church, we have teams that serve children, youth, and young adults. We have music ministry, ushers, greeters and media teams. Outside the four walls of the church, we have outreach teams that serve the poor, visit the sick and the elderly and much more. Getting connected to ministry may be one of the best experiences you'll ever have.
We take the Great Commission seriously. Jesus called us to make disciples and that is our heart, passion and commitment. We believe that building relationships with those who don't know Jesus is vital to fulfilling His Commission. Our city may seem like it's full of churches and that almost everyone is already a Christian, but the truth is our city is highly unchurched. In other words, the need is clear and there is no better time than now to connect to the world in a way that draws people to Jesus. God is on the move in our city and in our church.

Active time: 25 min Start to finish: 1 1/2 hr
YIELD: Makes 10
ACTIVE TIME: 25 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/2 hr
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bake chestnuts on a baking sheet in middle of oven until slightly dried and a shade darker, about 30 minutes. Cool chestnuts completely on a rack.
Cook sugar in a dry 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, swirling and shaking skillet (to help sugar melt evenly), until caramel is deep golden. Remove from heat, then prop skillet up against a ramekin or metal cookie cutter, tilting it just enough for caramel to pool. Add 1 chestnut to caramel and evenly coat by turning with 2 forks, then transfer with forks to a sheet of foil to cool. Coat remaining chestnuts in same manner. (If caramel starts to harden, melt over moderately low heat, stirring.) Once completely cooled, peel chestnuts from foil.
Cooks' note: Caramelized chestnuts can be made 8 hours ahead (they will "weep" if stored longer) and kept in an airtight container at cool room temperature.

Sophisticated, fun,spontaneous, successful, good company - looking for someone special ...
Looking for honest, open minded, fun loving, witty, intelligent individual. I was born in the UK and have lived in several beautiful countries since. I consider myself an honest, outgoing, and kind individual who enjoys the occasional romantic date, but also a carefree hang out. I have an undergraduate degree from India and a post graduate degree from King's College in London. Despite not having spent so much time in London, I feel myself constantly drawn back to the city to experience the rich culture and have traveled back a few times since. I am blessed with one daughter who is a joy to me. On the days that she is not with me, I spend time with good friends and family going to concerts or playing a hearty game of squash. I can be a fierce competitor. :) My closest confidants would describe me as a passionate, adventurous person, with a kind demeanor, capable of sharing a heartache with a friend or romping around a new city. I'm excited to see what the future holds in terms of relationships and new found friendships and look forward to meeting some great people through Match.com.

U.S. Wages in General Equilibrium: The Effects of Prices, Technology, and Factor Supplies, 1963-1991
|February 1999Number 64
|JEL classification: F1, J3, D5
Authors: James Harrigan and Rita A. Balaban
Wage inequality in the United States has increased in the past two decades, and most researchers suspect that the main causes are changes in technology, international competition, and factor supplies. The relative importance of these causes in explaining wage inequality is important for policy making and is controversial, partly because there has been no research which has directly estimated the joint impact of these different causes. In this paper, we view wages as arising out of a competitive general equilibrium where goods prices, technology and factor supplies jointly determine outputs and factor prices. We specify an empirical model which allows us to estimate the general equilibrium relationship between wages and technology, prices, and factor supplies. The model is based on the neoclassical theory of production, and is implemented by assuming that GDP is a function of prices, technology levels, and supplies of capital and different types of labor. We treat final goods prices as being partially determined in international markets, and we use data on trends in the international economy as instruments for U.S. prices. We find that relative factor supply and relative price changes are both important in explaining the growing return to skill. In particular, we find that capital accumulation and the fall in the price of traded goods served to increase the return to education.

nowcasting applications of severe weather. Such applications include improving the accuracy of severe local storm warnings (including forecasts of storm initiation, evolution, and decay), providing reliable guidance for construction activities, providing better information on current and future road conditions, furthering the needs of the aviation system for improving safety and operational efficiency (both civil and military), and helping individuals plan recreational activities.
The next generation of radars should be designed as part of an integrated observing system aimed at improving forecasts and warnings on relevant time and space scales.
Recommendations in this report appear in italics. Those in bold-face deal with technological approaches that are deemed worthy of consideration in the development of the future replacement for the NEXRAD system; they are categorized as "near-term," "far-term," or visionary." The committee uses the term "near term" for those technologies for which the capabilities exist currently and could be implemented even before the development of the replacement NEXRAD. "Far-term" technologies are those that could be available within the time period covered by this report (25–30 years), though they will require continued scientific and technological development before they could be implemented. "Visionary" technologies are those that may or may not be ready for operational use within the 25- to 30-year time frame. The other recommendations deal with the processes by which the future system is developed and deployed.

Product Overview
The Cisco Jabber® platform is a unified communications application that enables you to be more productive from anywhere on any device. Whether you're in the office or outside of your network, the application makes it easier than ever to access your collaboration services. Find the right people, see if they are available, and collaborate using your preferred method.
Today's global, distributed work environment has resulted in significant challenges for workers, making it harder to connect with the right people and significantly increasing the quantity and modes of communications. Organizations of all sizes are striving to improve communications in order to retain customers, compete for new business, control costs, and grow their business globally.
Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad streamlines communications and enhances productivity by unifying presence, instant messaging, video, voice, voice messaging, and conferencing capabilities securely into one client on your mobile device. Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad delivers highly secure, clear, and reliable communications. It offers flexible deployment models and is built on open standards. You can communicate and collaborate effectively from anywhere (Figures 1 and 2).
Features and Benefits
● Bring business-class IP telephony and video to your mobile device: Powered by the market-leading Cisco® Unified Communications Manager call-control solution, the Cisco Jabber platform provides enterprise-grade telephony with high-fidelity audio and standards-based video capabilities. These features mean that high-quality and high-availability voice and video telephony is available when you need it, whether you are in the office or mobile. You can also hand off calls to your mobile provider's network as you leave Wi-Fi coverage or move Cisco Jabber calls to your Cisco Unified IP Phone to continue a conversation on a different phone.
● Secure firewall-traversal technology enabling unbounded mobile use cases: Cisco Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access enables users to easily access their Jabber® collaboration services outside the corporate network, allowing them to be more productive when they are mobile. In contrast to VPN, it secures only Jabber traffic, helping ensure that the user's personal data does not cross the corporate network.
● Lower mobility costs: Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad allows you to place and receive calls over your corporate wireless LAN (WLAN) and telephony infrastructure. With Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad, you can place and receive calls when at home, in hotels, or at Wi-Fi hotspots. For iPhone users, that means reducing the number of mobile minutes used and saving on roaming charges. Because the Cisco Jabber platform uses your Cisco Unified Communications Manager call-routing capabilities, you may be able to avoid long-distance charges for international calls. These costs can be further reduced by the optional Dial-Via-Office feature (available only on iPhone).
● Mobile privacy: Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad turns your iOS device into an extension on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You appear to receive and make calls from your work phone number when using the Cisco Jabber application. Executive iPhone users benefit from this feature because they often want to keep their mobile number private when placing calls.
● Reduce communication delays with presence and contact information: The Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad application places all of your communication needs at your fingertips. The all-in-one client features voice, video, and instant messaging, and enables you to see the availability of co-workers and colleagues within and outside your organization. You can immediately see who is offline, available, away, on the phone, presenting, or in a do-not-disturb state. You can create customized availability states such as "Gone to lunch. Back at 1 p.m." to provide added context. These capabilities coupled with Cisco Jabber Video™ calling help reduce communication drag and result in faster decision making and enhanced productivity.
● Quickly communicate with borderless enterprise-class instant messaging: Instant messaging is an important communication option that lets you efficiently interact in today's multitasking business environment. Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad delivers enterprise-class instant messaging capabilities that are based on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). The solution provides personal and group chat so you can quickly connect with your business colleagues. Instant messaging is integrated with other communication capabilities so you can simply move between chats, audio conversations, and web conferences. You can even share your availability status and send instant messages to people outside your organization who may not be using the Cisco Jabber application. The enterprise-class instant messaging capabilities of this application provide more efficient, highly secure, flexible, and borderless collaboration.
Table 1 outlines Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad features and benefits.

Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-On allows Cisco Jabber users to securely access all Jabber services without being prompted to log into each of them separately. The Cisco Jabber application uses authentication performed by the corporate Identity Provider. The Identity Provider can control the authentication experience for Cisco Jabber users, for example, by prompting users for their enterprise username and password once when the Cisco Jabber application is first run and by specifying the length of time a user is authorized to use Cisco Jabber services.
The Cisco Jabber application uses the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), which is an XML-based open standard data format that enables access to a defined set of Cisco services transparently after verifying credentials with an Identity Provider. SAML Single Sign-On can be enabled for Cisco WebEx Messenger Services, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and Cisco Unity Connection. Single Sign-On is deployed for use with Cisco Jabber clients using service discovery.

The Island Lake detachment is located on Stevenson Island. The detachment serves the Island Lake region as well as the area between Island Lake and Red Sucker Lake. Policing responsibilities involve four First Nation communities, including: Garden Hill, St. Theresa Point, Wasagamack and Red Sucker Lake. This detachment is unique, as all four communities are accessible only by water or air. An ice road system is used in the winter, and boats are the principal mode of transportation in the summer.
RCMP Detachment:
Our office consists of one sergeant, two corporals, eight constables and two public servants. Due to the unique policing environment, members make use of a variety of equipment and vehicles. Global Positioning Systems are used when traveling between communities. The detachment has a fleet of five boats, which is our primary method of transportation to access the communities we serve.
In winter, members travel the ice roads with four-wheel drive vehicles. Some trucks are kept in various communities for a total of eight 4x4 trucks. Members also respond to some calls for service using snowmobiles and ATVs. Chartered helicopters and hovercrafts are used during the freeze-up and break-up seasons. Other than in the winter, when it can be reached by Winter Road, Red Sucker Lake is only accessible by helicopter or airplane.
Garden Hill Child and Family Services (CFS), Wasagamack CFS, St.Theresa Point CFS, and Red Sucker Lake CFS: Members partner with local CFS agencies to work toward suitable solutions in cases of child abuse, violence, and neglect, and in cases of domestic violence. For example, in the case of a spousal assault, there are normally "no contact" or "no communication" conditions set in place. As a result, parents may struggle to find solutions to visitation and custody issues. Another situation that arises is when parents are found intoxicated with children in their care. These are unfortunate examples of our office's need to call upon CFS for action and assistance, but a clear demonstration of the need for our agencies to work together.
Nationwide, members of the RCMP are involved in alternative justice processes, whether volunteering as facilitators or sitting on steering committees. Each community may embrace a different form of restorative justice, be it community justice forums, circle sentencing, or mediation.
St.Theresa Point Community Justice System: This Justice Committee is formalized and well operated. It concerns itself with youth intervention, and deals with the problem of intoxicated people in "dry" communities, among other things. The organization liaises with the Chief and Council and the Band Constable Police Chief, and in consultation with the RCMP seeks to more effectively curb problems and provide justice alternatives that are appropriate. Members of this group have been involved with law enforcement and aboriginal community justice. The committee uses traditional healing circles as a peace-making process, and holds tribal court and uses offender/victim mediation as a form of restorative justice.
Wasagamack Community Justice System: A Justice Committee has been established in 2003 in the First Nation of Wasagamack. This group uses community resources in order to develop alternative justice solutions. Local elders, Chief and Council as well as Band Constables all play a role in solving problems related to issues such as drugs, alcohol abuse, and property damage. A member of the Justice Committee attends court proceedings to provide agency recommendations and support/educate community members to better understand the judicial system and how they may be impacted by it. The committee's leader is consistently in touch with the Island Lake members and therefore a strong rapport and healthy working relationship exists.Return to Top
Members of the RCMP are involved with a number of programs designed to prevent crime in our communities through both indirect and direct intervention. From school talks to youth initiatives and community safety plans, the goal of crime prevention programs is to target the roots of potential criminal and social problems. Members of the RCMP are involved in the following initiatives:
School Liaison: Members are assigned to each of the schools in our area. These members make presentations and conduct special school programs as requested. The fundamental focus of the liaison is to interact with the students and staff, attend certain school functions, and foster a close-knit relationship with students. Currently, gang violence is a major concern for Garden Hill, St. Theresa Point, and Wasagamack. Thus, Gang Awareness lectures have been provided to students, teachers and members of the general public.
Two recruiting presentations were recently held, in partnership with D Division Recruiting, in Garden Hill, the most populated community in the area. The RCMP also typically attends Career Days at local High Schools. Response from attending students is always positive.
Without a solid base upon which to work, the police cannot hope to build the necessary partnerships with the community to prevent crime and to solve community problems. Members of the RCMP strive to build those bridges by appreciating the needs of the communities in which they work and live. Their commitment to the community goes beyond simple participation as residents, but also as active members of the community. Members of the RCMP are involved in the following initiatives:
The community also benefits directly and indirectly from strategic partnerships that the RCMP forms with other law enforcement and governmental agencies as well as with as with other community groups. Several unique associations have been formed:

No. 60/722,246, entitled: HEATING BLANKET, both of which were filed on Sep. 29, 2005, and both of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties herein.
The present application is related to the following commonly assigned utility patent applications, all of which are filed concurrently herewith and all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties: A) NOVEL DESIGNS FOR HEATING BLANKETS AND PADS, Practitioner Ser. No. 11/537,179B) TEMPERATURE SENSOR ASSEMBLIES FOR AN ELECTRIC WARMING BLANKET, Practitioner Ser. No. 11/537,189; C) FLEXIBLE HEATING ELEMENT CONSTRUCTION, Practitioner Ser.

The present invention is related to heating or warming blankets and more particularly to heating blankets including electrical heating elements.
It is well established that surgical patients under anesthesia become poikilothermic. This means that the patients lose their ability to control their body temperature and will take on or lose heat depending on the temperature of the environment. Since modern operating rooms are all air conditioned to a relatively low temperature for surgeon comfort, the majority of patients undergoing general anesthesia will lose heat and become clinically hypothermic if not warmed.
Over the past 15 years, forced-air warming (FAW) has become the "standard of care" for preventing and treating the hypothermia caused by anesthesia and surgery. FAW consists of a large heater/blower attached by a hose to an inflatable air blanket. The warm air is distributed over the patient within the chambers of the blanket and then is exhausted onto the patient through holes in the bottom surface of the blanket.
Although FAW is clinically effective, it suffers from several problems including: a relatively high price; air blowing in the operating room, which can be noisy and can potentially contaminate the surgical field; and bulkiness, which, at times, may obscure the view of the surgeon. Moreover, the low specific heat of air and the rapid loss of heat from air requires that the temperature of the air, as it leaves the hose, be dangerously high—in some products as high as 45� C. This poses significant dangers for the patient. Second and third degree burns have occurred both because of contact between the hose and the patient's skin, and by blowing hot air directly from the hose onto the skin without connecting a blanket to the hose. This condition is common enough to have its own name—"hosing." The manufacturers of forced air warming equipment actively warn their users against hosing and the risks it poses to the patient.
To overcome the aforementioned problems with FAW, several companies have developed electric warming blankets. However, these electric blankets have a number of inadequacies, examples of which include, a stiffness prohibiting a draping of the blankets over a patient that results in less than optimal conductive heat transfer to the patient, and a non-uniform watt density output across a surface area of the blankets.
The following drawings are illustrative of particular embodiments of the present invention and therefore do not limit the scope of the invention. The drawings are not to scale (unless so stated) and are intended for use in conjunction with the explanations in the following detailed description. Embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like numerals denote like elements.
The following detailed description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides practical illustrations for implementing exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Examples of constructions, materials, dimensions, and manufacturing processes are provided for selected elements, and all other elements employ that which is known to those of skill in the field of the invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize that many of the examples provided have suitable alternatives that can be utilized. The term 'blanket', used to describe embodiments of the present invention, may be considered to encompass heating blankets and pads.
According to an exemplary embodiment, a conductive fabric for heating element 10 comprises a non-woven polyester having a basis weight of approximately 130 g/m2 and being 100% coated with polypyrrole (available from Eeonyx Inc., Pinole, Calif.); the coated fabric has an average resistance, for example, determined with a four point probe measurement, of approximately 15-20 ohms per square, at about 48 volts, which is suitable to produce the preferred watt density of 0.2 to 0.4 watts/sq. in. for surface areas of heating element 10 having a width, between bus bars 15, in the neighborhood of about 20 inches. Such a width is suitable for a lower body heating blanket, an exemplary embodiment of which will be described below. A resistance of such a conductive fabric may be tailored for different widths between bus bars (wider requiring a lower resistance and narrower requiring a higher resistance) by increasing or decreasing a surface area of the fabric that can receive the conductive coating, for example by increasing or decreasing the basis weight of the fabric.
A flexibility of blanket subassembly 100, provided primarily by flexible heating element 10, and optionally enhanced by the incorporation of flexible bus bars, allows blanket subassembly 100 to conform to the contours of a body, for example, all or a portion of a patient undergoing surgery, rather than simply bridging across high spots of the body; such conformance may optimize a conductive heat transfer from element 10 to a surface of the body. However, as illustrated in
The uniform watt-density output across the surface areas of preferred embodiments of heating element 10 translates into a uniform heating of the surface areas, but not necessarily a uniform temperature. At locations of heating element 10 which are in conductive contact with a body acting as a heat sink, for example, body 16, the heat is efficiently drawn away from heating element 10 and into the body, for example by blood flow, while at those locations where element 10 does not come into conductive contact with the body, for example lateral portions 11, 12 as illustrated in
According to embodiments of the present invention, zones of heating element 10 may be differentiated according to whether or not portions of element 10 are in conductive contact with a body, for example, a patient undergoing surgery. In the case of conductive heating, gentle external pressure may be applied to a heating blanket including heating element 10, which pressure forces heating element 10 into better conductive contact with the patient to improve heat transfer. However, if excessive pressure is applied the blood flow to that skin may be reduced at the same time that the heat transfer is improved and this combination of heat and pressure to the skin can be dangerous. It is well known that patients with poor perfusion should not have prolonged contact with conductive heat in excess of approximately 42� C. 42� C. has been shown in several studies to be the highest skin temperature, which cannot cause thermal damage to normally perfused skin, even with prolonged exposure. (Stoll & Greene, Relationship between pain and tissue damage due to thermal radiation. J. Applied Physiology 14(3):373-382. 1959. and Moritz and Henriques, Studies of thermal injury: The relative importance of time and surface temperature in the causation of cutaneous burns Am. J. Pathology 23:695-720, 1947) Thus, according to certain embodiments of the present invention, the portion of heating element 10 that is in conductive contact with the patient is controlled to approximately 43� C. in order to achieve a temperature of about 41-42� C. on a surface a heating blanket cover that surrounds element 10, for example, a cover or shell 20 which will be described below in conjunction with
With further reference to
According to some embodiments of the present invention, shell 20 includes top and bottom sheets extending over either side of assembly 250; the two sheets of shell 20 are coupled together along a seal zone 22 that extends about a perimeter edge 2000 of blanket 200, and within perimeter edge 2000 to form zones, or pockets, where a gap exists between the two sheets. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, shell 20 comprises a nylon fabric having an overlay of polyurethane coating to provide waterproofing; the coating is on at least an inner surface of each of the two sheets, further facilitating a heat seal between the two sheets, for example, along seal zone 22, according to preferred embodiments. It should be noted that, according to alternate embodiments of the present invention, a covering for heating assemblies, such as heating assembly 250, may be removable and, thus, include a reversible closure facilitating removal of a heating assembly therefrom and insertion of the same or another heating assembly therein.
Returning now to
In the foregoing detailed description, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, it may be appreciated that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. Although embodiments of the invention are described in the context of an operating environment, it is contemplated that some embodiments of the invention may be used in other environments.
