COLUMBIA CITY — A Columbia City man accused of stealing from a local church had his initial court appearance Monday.
Cody Miller, 21, was accused of burglary and theft after he allegedly stole priceless artifacts from Saint Paul of the Cross Catholic Church in Columbia City.
A church relic, a gold metal container and a set of brass keys, along with a small amount of money and checks were taken from the church.
The relic, a metal cross containing a small bone fragment of Saint Paul of the Cross, had been broke open to determine its value for scrap, police said.
The relic was found in a dumpster, and the bone fragment has not been recovered.
Case reports allege on two occasions, Miller broke into the church. Miller told investigators he stayed at the church several times because he was homeless.
Several of the items were found in the trash. The burglaries occurred on Jan. 7 and Feb. 11.
Miller will next be in court on March 25 for pre-trial proceedings. His attorney will be Whitley County Public Defender Brad Voelz.
A Columbia City man accused of burglary and theft had his trial date set in Whitley County Circuit Court Monday.
Charles Rector, 18, was arrested on Jan. 5 on a count of burglary, which is a Class B felony, and theft, a Class D felony. He is currently scheduled to stand trial on Tuesday, May 7 at 9 a.m. The final pre-trial conference is Monday, April 29. His attorney is Brad Voelz.
According to case reports, Rector and two juveniles were accused of breaking into a person's home and stealing approximately $8,800 of merchandise.

I wrote this for my pharmacology class. I hope you find it interesting. I hope it's ok that i disagreed with King slightly in one instance:
Source: Entertainment Weekly : http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1031378,00.html
Date: Feb 01, 2007
Author: Stephen King (Yes, THAT Stephen King. But it really is an interesting article.)
Title of Article: Stephen King on the worst ads on TV
True to his roots, Stephen King begins the article with a horrific make-believe advertisement for thalidomide, the now banned drug that cured morning sickness in pregnant women, but also caused deformities in children. The reason why we never saw advertisements for this drug is for the simple fact that the FDA banned advertisements for prescription drugs in the 1960s and 70s. The wisdom of this policy helped prevent a potential catastrophe of a generation of deformed children. He then goes on to compare this to the lack of wisdom of todays advertisements which heavily shilled Vioxx before it was taken off the market. According to King and the FDAs own numbers there is a potential 27,000 people that are no longer alive because of Vioxx. Obviously if it werent for the mass-marketing of that drug, those numbers would be a lot less.
King does make a strong case for not advertising drugs. Unless if the morning-sickness is so severe it actually threatens the life of the child or mother its almost certainly best to live with it than take drugs to prevent it. This is especially so if those drugs are new to the market.
Where I strongly disagree with King is here:
I happen to be one of those folks Kind is deriding here. I use the extremely advertised drug Humira. And contrary to what he says, Im not using it because I want Daddy, to Make it all better. Im extremely aware of the potential dangers, I know that it breaks down the immune system and I know theres potential for liver damage and a lot of other side effect. Before I started using it I tried a variety of other methods to control my Rheumatoid Arthritis including Physical therapy and a variety of other, less severe, drugs. Yet despite all those efforts it was still agony getting out of bed in the morning and I had to walk with a cane. So I started taking Humira, with my eyes wide open. Now I bike 160 miles a week and am enjoying life a lot more. Can Humira shorten my life? Of course. But then, so can Rheumatoid arthritis. Either way, before Humira I really wasnt doing that much living.Americans love a quick fix, and our love affair with snake-oil salesmen probably stretches clear back to the Pilgrims. And when the man says, ''Daddy fix, Daddy make it all better''. . .man, we love that. We love it.
Advertisements do serve a purpose. They do let people know that there are alternatives to a life of pain. However King does make a very strong point that if a company advertises the wrong drugs and does it in the wrong way it can lead to a lot of unnecessary deaths. Perhaps the compromise is in the way its advertised. Despite my story, I dont necessarily believe everyone should be on humira. If your arthritis is fairly minor it is probably best to stay away. But people should know its out there.
Rather than a ban on prescription drugs that King is advocating it would be best to change the way these drugs are advertised. That drug advertisements should be entirely information oriented rather than sales oriented. That is no music, no happy smiling faces, no slogans. It should be as Jack Webb demands, Just the facts, Mam. Instead of a rousing chorus of Its a beautiful morning telling us all about how wonderful Humira is, perhaps it should be a doctor in a jacket with a plain background saying, Heres a drug that may be work if you suffer from severe arthritis . Here are the potential problems with it. No frills, no miracles, just the plain facts that let people in need decide.

|Incompatible with:
*CBD refers to Institute of Koorie Education – Community Based Delivery
Aside from its national focus through the Cloud (online) mode, the course was established to service many rural areas in Australia and has a strong rural focus. For this reason it is expected that students will have one placement which has a rural focus - i.e. one where clients and/or workers face issues related to rurality such as isolation and lack of access to services. Students are required to undertake pre-placement preparation (two day seminar for those residing in Victoria; teleconference or CloudDeakin activities for those residing interstate). These pre-placement seminars must be completed prior to going on placement and will take place at the start of each trimester.
In consultation with their academic and field educators, students are expected to develop an individualised educational plan for the practicum. This plan should be designed so that they are able to demonstrate that they have begun to master the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) practice standards by working with selected clientele and sharing in selected aspects of the associated work of the agencies in which they are placed. Students will be expected to reflect critically on day-to-day experiences in practicum, explore issues and make verbal and written presentations to peers, colleagues and mentors. Students are required to attend three Integration Seminars at Waterfront (Geelong) and respond to nominated discussion questions on CloudDeakin.
Assessment task 1: 70 days (500 hours) of practicum (field placement) in a social or community service agency or program
Assessment task 2: Critical Reflection Report (1500 words)
Assessment task 3: Completion of weekly reflective journal for discussion in professional supervision
Students and field educators need to complete and submit mid placement and final placement assessment documents using the Deakin BSW field placement assessment formats.
The practicum is ungraded and students will receive either a pass or fail grade.

Comments about Justin Original Workboots Justin Men's Stampede Camo Waterproof Work Boots:
The first issue I had with these boots was the size that correctly fit my feet comfortably once I was in them was very tough to actually get on. This did not get better one I broke them in as I expected. These boots are also the least durable I have ever owned. Within a few weeks I noticed the out soles separating at the heels and balls of the foot. The fabric on the outside of the boot ripped along the side seam, and lining on the inside tore. This would catch my heel every time I tried to put boot on or take it off, making the process even more frustrating. I am in the military, so I've put some quality boots through hell and they've lasted YEARS, but these boots started to fall apart after a few WEEKS of casual wear. Try another brand.

Linux Password Policy
From Brandonhutchinson.com
The following examples are on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 system.
Password Aging
- /etc/login.defs for new accounts.
# Password aging controls: # # PASS_MAX_DAYS Maximum number of days a password may be used. # PASS_MIN_DAYS Minimum number of days allowed between password changes. # PASS_MIN_LEN Minimum acceptable password length. # PASS_WARN_AGE Number of days warning given before a password expires.
Note that PASS_MIN_LEN in /etc/login.defs has no effect. Minimum password length is controlled by the pam_cracklib module. Note that if minlen= is not specified in pam_cracklib, I believe the default minimum password length is 6 characters.
- /usr/bin/chage for existing accounts.
Existing account example
User hutchib was already created with essentially no password aging (the default PASS_MAX_DAYS of 99999). To configure the following:
- A minimum of 7 days between password changes.
- Password expiration after 90 days.
- Begin warning about password expiration 14 days in advance.
# /usr/bin/chage -m 7 -M 90 -W 14 hutchib
Note that chage does not update the last password change field (field 3) in /etc/shadow, so passwords could expire immediately.
What happens when your password expires?
- If the account is inactive (see chage -I and the 7th field in /etc/shadow), you will be unable to login and your password will have to be manually reset by an administrator.
e.g., /var/log/messages
Dec 4 14:33:42 host sshd(pam_unix)[31601]: account hutchib has expired (failed to change password)
- If the account is expired but not inactive, you are allowed a "grace login" where your old password is accepted and you must immediately change your password. After changing your password, the connection is closed and you must login again.
WARNING: Your password has expired. You must change your password now and login again! Changing password for user hutchib. Changing password for hutchib (current) UNIX password: New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. Connection to host closed.
Password Complexity
Password History
Password history--i.e., preventing re-use of old passwords--is maintained using both pam_unix (stores the old password) and pam_cracklib (prevents re-use). By default, password history is disabled.
Example: Prevent re-use of the user's last 24 passwords.
- Create the password database store.
# touch /etc/security/opasswd # chown root:root /etc/security/opasswd # chmod 600 /etc/security/opasswd
- Configure PAM.
Relevant line in /etc/pam.d/system-auth:
password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow remember=24

Paradise Valley Blanks Brevard CC for DI Women's Soccer TitleNovember 17, 2012
Click here for photo gallery
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Paradise Valley Community College (Ariz.) shocked Brevard Community College (Fla.) with a goal 33 seconds into Saturday night's NJCAA Division I Women's Soccer national title game and went on to win its second title in three years with a 3-0 victory at Melbourne Central Catholic.
Paradise, the 2010 champion, finished the season 23-0-1 scoring 115 goals to only eight for its opponents.
BCC, which had been ranked No. 1 in the nation and was the tournament's top seed, finished 15-2.
Paradise freshman forward Tianna Stewart beat BCC sophomore goalkeeper Julia Kantor for the opening goal sending the Paraside fans into a frenzy and taking the early fight out of BCC.
Sophomore midfielder Jessie DeLeon scored Paradise's second goal with 9 minutes and 57 seconds to play in the first half which Paraside dominated. Freshman Ashley Johnson scored Paradise's third goal on a header with 28:20 remaining in the game for the final margin.
"I think the girls set the tone from the first seconds of the game scoring that first goal and they just didn't stop the whole game," Paraside head coach Kacie Bingham said. "They just came to battle.
"It was clutch," Bingham added about the opening goal. "It set the tone for the game.
BCC head coach Jeff Carr cited the first goal as well.
"They were ready for us," Carr said. "After that goal I think we were major flat. We made a couple of mistakes on the second and third. We were flat. We just couldn't capitalize.
"(Freshman midfielder) Sue (Kumaning) had several but they weren't on frame."
BCC, playing with the wind in the second half, had several chances in fact all but one either high or wide. It wasn't until the final minutes that sophomore goalkeeper Tessa Hamberlin, who played the second half, was forced to make a save.
To that end as far as Bingham was concerned Saturday's game was Paradise at its best.
"We're a solid team," she said. "When we bring it we can play like this and have before."
But the winning effort didn't come without some serious recovery work following Paradise's emotional penalty kicks victory over Iowa Western Community College in Friday's second semifinal.
"We had long game (Friday)," she said. "We were definitely worried about legs and stuff like that. We gave them ice bags. We jogged and stretched. We've done a good job taking care of their bodies."
The loss, while heartbreaking for BCC could set the tone for 2013.
"We've got unfinished business," Carr told his players after the awards ceremony.
The season, only the third for the BCC program, also resonated with college President Dr. Jim Richey.
"Reaching the national tournament and playing in the championship game is an incredible accomplishment for BCC and its athletic programs, especially when you consider our women's soccer team has only been in existence for three years," Richey said.
"Jeff Carr, the college's athletic director and women's soccer coach, has provided exceptional leadership, and members of the women's soccer team met one challenge after another, displaying dedication and character.
"I'm extremely proud of them and know everyone at BCC and along the Space Coast are as well."
The shutout loss was the first for BCC this season, its best in its three years as a program and broke a 13-game winning streak.

The Flowertown Festival went off smoothly, but not entirely without a hitch, neighbors told Town Council on Wednesday.
Peter Gorman, who lives on the east side of the park, said the town's decision to close streets on the west side of Main Street pushed more traffic and parking to the east side.
People were continually circling looking for parking spots, and some parked perpendicular instead of parallel, meaning they went past the right-of-way and encroached on private property, he said.
There was also a lot of litter because people discarded items as they returned to their cars, he said.
He was told the litter would be picked up, but when it was still there Tuesday afternoon he and the neighbors banded together to pick it up, he said.
He suggested trash barrels on the paths out of the festival, as well as within the festival itself.
Samuel Green, chairman of the finance committee at Wesley United Methodist Church, said church members were blocked from going down Pressley Avenue to get to church.
Pressley Avenue is a short street that joins the intersection of Sumter Avenue and West 5th St. North. The church is at the end of the street, and its educational building is on West 5th St. North next to the town's Berry House.
Green said police officers were inconsistent about letting people through. Some wouldn't let anyone through, and churchgoers had to pay to park in the First Baptist Church lot, he said.
Even the preacher couldn't get through on Saturday, he said.
Also, the officers wouldn't let people drive down West 5th South St. to the education building, so those who could get down Pressley Avenue had to drive over the grass to get to the education building, he said.
Police Chief Bruce Owens approached Green after the meeting so he could get more information and improve the situation next year.

If you are interested in learning about medical billing and coding, you will not find a better place to begin, nor a better person from whom to learn. Thanks to Jennifer I've found a new career. Her knowledge, gentle coaching and encouragement were key to building my confidence and my understanding of a complicated subject. Along with my highest recommendation and appreciation, I give Jennifer five stars!!
Thank you for your expertise and professional organization of such a course. I have found a "remote" job from an insurance company. A RN adjudicator is mentoring me. I am so excited.
Thank you so much, I have spent a lot of money on other courses and did not learn as much as I did in this class.
Your teaching method is EXCELLENT and very easy to understand! I have two friends in our church that are taking this course from other institutions and they have been with their course close to 18 months and one has graduated and last week after the 2nd lesson I was able to help her understand the Superbill and where to place the different codes correctly. I am enjoying this class very much and looking forward to what more you have to teach me. THANK YOU!
This is the most interesting class I've ever taken. The lessons may be time-intensive, but necessarily so. The material was presented in a very orderly and understandable manner. I appreciated the input of Jennifer Della'Zanna and her staff. Jennifer was so generous, both with her time and her extensive knowledge. She made me feel like she really cared about me personally and about my future.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class and the instructor. Jennifer's passion shined through her teaching, responses and interaction. I admired her patience and understanding through all of this. I am a beginner to medical coding and billing, and I felt this was the perfect introduction to help me understand the basics. Thank you very much.
I'm a senior citizen and this was my first online class. It has been the one of the most enjoyable ways I have spent my money since buying my first tube of lipstick! The class was interactive and those who have joined the discussions have been willing to help their fellow students in need.
I thoroughly enjoyed the way this course was set-up and how comfortable the instructor made the course. She delivered the material in a way that made it seem as if she was right there talking to us. She pointed out extra information or "tips" as the course went along. Jennifer was supposrtive and positive with every student in the discussion areas. She comes across as patient and kind, and really seems to want her students to learn. I have recommended this class to several people already and would not hesitate to take another course from Jennifer Della'Zanna!
I really enjoyed this course. I loved Jennifer's sense of humor throughout the lessons. When she knew it was going to be tough, she would alert us to that. She always made the lessons realistic and sensible. I feel as though I have gained a precise, thorough knowledge for the Medical Coding and Billing. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing a career in this field.
Coding is a love or hate thing, you know this. I always leaned towards the hate side, but after taking your course, I'm leaning towards like! That's an impressive feat, and I wanted to say thanks so much for your teaching style. It was hard work, but it clicked for me.

Categories of Research
(Information on this page was modified with permission (2011) from that provided by the Claremont Graduate University and the Grinnell College faculty handbook Appendix IX) and revised March 2013. Investigators may want to check out the decision charts that the Office of Human Research (OHRP) to help them determine whether their study requires IRB review: http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/policy/checklists/decisioncharts.html
Definition of Research
Research means a systematic investigation, including research development, testing, and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. Activites that meet this definition may be funded or unfunded, or may be conducted as a component of another program not usually considered research. For example, demonstration and service programs may include evaluation components, which constitute research activities under this definition.
Precedence and practice have established the principle that certain kinds of activities that might be called "human participant research" do not require review for the protection of human participants. The following kinds of activities do not require such review:
Pilot studies, pre-tests, and other "preliminary" investigations are considered research and must be reviewed unless they fall into one of the excluded categories listed above.
Quality improvement and quality assurance activities conducted solely for the intent of maintaining or improving quality of services provided by an institution, likewise, are not considered research activities. However, if the data collected are generalizable and are to be shared outside of the institution through discussion, presentation, or publication, the activity qualifies as research. Sometimes, data from a quality improvement or quality assurance activity become of interest to the external community after they have been analyzed. In these cases, the research use of the data collected for another purpose must be reviewed.
Classroom activities may or may not be considered research, depending on their nature and presence of special factors. Nature refers to whether the researcher is testing a hypothesis or conducting an investigation that will contribute to a generalized knowledge base. Special factors refer to vulnerability of participants, risk, and privacy. Any project that involves vulnerable populations, above minimal risk, or includes information that identifies the participant in the data set should undergo IRB review. The federal guidelines allow projects that are conducted solely to teach students research techniques or methodologies to be classified as instructional and not research. These would not need IRB review; however the IRB recommends that teachers instruct students on ethical principles of research and obtain informed consent from project participants. Class projects that involve collecting empirical data to test theories or examine theories in action should receive IRB review with the exception of anonymous surveys of minimal risk (OHRP workshop, Minneapolis, May 2012).
Human participants are considered living people with whom the investigators interact or act on in a way that is not part of the people's normal job. If, for example, you are interviewing someone to collect information that is their job to know and give out, then they are not participants but rather conduits of information; no irb submission required.
Exempt Level Research
Research activities in which the only involvement of human participants will be in an exempt category as defined by HHS.gov in 45 CFR, Part 46.101.B. Below are the seven categories of exempt research:
1. Research at Grinnell involving normal educational practices such as instructional strategies, curricula or classroom management techniques
(Professors who experiment with their class format to improve their teaching or use student evaluations, for instance, do not need the approval of an IRB. In addition, the use of language and other proficiency tests as part of First Year advising do not require IRB approval.)
2. Research involving use of educational tests (cognitive, diagnostic, aptitude, achievement), survey procedures or interview procedures, unless: (a) the information obtained directly or indirectly identifies individual participants; and (b) disclosures of participants' responses would place the participants at risk of legal liability or would be damaging to their financial standing, employability or reputation
3. Observations of public behavior as long as information is recorded in such a way that individuals cannot be identified
(Basically this includes observation of behavior in public places. Public places are places that are open to the public and in which there is little reasonable expectation of privacy. For example, activity observed in a public restroom is not public behavior. On the other hand, pedestrian traffic flow on the corner of Sixth and Park is public behavior.)
4. Research of public documents
5. Oral History
Most oral history research is exempt from IRB oversight because it does not meet the technical definition of "research" under federal regulations. Oral history deals with particular individuals who have played role in particular historical events and does not seek to establish the types of generalizable principles or laws that characterize the technical definition of "research" for purposes of IRB oversight.
Although some universities and colleges nonetheless require IRB review of oral history projects, Grinnell College follows the lead of the American Historical Association, the Oral History Association and the U. S. Office for Human Research Protection (OHRP) in treating most oral history projects as exempt from IRB oversight.
Oral history contrasts with ethnography, most of which is subject to IRB review. Grinnell College follows the American Anthropological Association in regarding ethnography as meeting the technical definition of "research" requiring IRB oversight.
6. Journalism
Journalists and investigative reporters who are writing stories for news publications such as the Scarlet and Black are typically not engaged in research within the scope of IRB oversight and are exempt from IRB oversight. If, however, research requires IRB approval on other grounds, the fact that the author intends to publish it in a newspaper does not exempt it from IRB approval. For example, a researcher who intends to publish the results of a psychological experiment involving human participants in the Scarlet and Black is not thereby exempt from IRB oversight.
7. Interviews of Experts and Public Figures
Interviews of experts or public figures about the areas of their competence are not considered human subject research and do not require IRB review. This is because the expert or public figure is not the object of the research. For example, asking a Roman Catholic priest about church liturgy is not human subjects' research; the priest is functioning as an expert consultant, not a subject. On the other hand, research that involves asking priests about the difficulties they encountered in their commitment to celibacy is human subjects' research, since the priests themselves are the objects of the research.
For more information on each of the seven categories, consult the HHS website.
Expedited Level Research
Research activities involving "no more than minimal risk" and in which the only involvement of human participants will be in one or more of the following categories may be reviewed using an expedited procedure by the Institutional Review Board. Each of the categories is quoted by the Federal regulations at 45 CFR, part 46, and followed by an explanatory paragraph.
Physical sensors that are applied either to the surface of the body or at a distance and do not involve input of significant amounts of energy into the participant or an invasion of the participant's privacy;
Weighing or testing sensory acuity;
Magnetic resonance imaging;
Electrocardiography, electroencephalography, thermography, detection of naturally occurring radioactivity, electroretinography, ultrasound, diagnostic infrared imaging, Doppler blood flow, and echocardiography;
Moderate exercise, muscular strength testing, body composition assessment, and flexibility testing where appropriate given the age, weight, and health of the individual."
Explanation: The examples listed are neither exclusive nor exhaustive. This category may be applied to research involving prospective collection of data for research purposes using non-invasive methods in addition to those listed as examples.
Research Requiring Full Board Review
All research conducted by faculty, staff, or students that is not determined to be exempt and is not eligible for expedited review must be reviewed by the board. After Dec. 1, 2012, minimal risk research with community participants may receive expedited review. Full board review is required for any expedited reviewed proposal that was not approved by the board member handling the expedited review.
- Accepted and established service relationships between professionals and clients where the activity is designed solely to meet the needs of the client;
- Research using only historical documents; and
- Research using only archeological materials or other historical or pre-historical artifacts.
- In-house evaluations or assessments of programs of the institution to help the institution run better or effectively.
- "Research conducted in established or commonly accepted educational settings, involving normal educational practices, such as (a) research on regular or special education instructional strategies, or (b) research on the effectiveness of or on the comparison among instructional techniques, curricula, or classroom management methods."
Explanation: The purpose of this category is to exempt research on educational practices, in an educational institution. This category does not extend to research conducted in an school setting but not related to the instruction in that institution. For example, an evaluation of two methods of fourth grade classroom instruction in a local school district would qualify as exempt research. A sociometric survey of children's preferences for playmates in the same school, involving the same children, would not qualify as exempt research. As the example indicates, research on minor students can be exempt if it is educational research in the sense intended here.
- "Research involving the use of educational tests (cognitive, diagnostic, aptitude, achievement), survey procedures, interview procedures or observation of public behavior, unless: a. Information obtained is recorded in such a manner that the human participants can be identified, directly or through identifiers linked to the participants; AND b. Any disclosure of the participant's responses outside the research could reasonably place the participants at risk of criminal or civil liability or be damaging to the participants' financial standing, employability, or reputation."
Explanation: "Educational tests" refers to standardized tests used for educational purposes, such as a scholastic achievement test. It does not refer to personality tests or clinical evaluations. Survey or interview studies qualify as exempt unless the participants can be identified from the records, and there are risks to the participants due to the sensitive nature of their responses. Minors may not be allowed to be surveyed or interviewed in this exemption; the researcher is not allowed to be part of or interacting in the activities for which the minor is being surveyed or interviewed.
Studies of publicly observable behavior are exempt from Federal regulations unless there are potential risks of the type described and the data are recorded in a way that could be used to identify participants.
Grinnell College interprets "public behavior" to mean behavior that is apparent to an unconcealed observer, without the use of any special or surreptitious equipment, such as binoculars, special microphones, or recording devices.
- "Research involving the use of educational tests (cognitive, diagnostic, aptitude, achievement), survey procedures, interview procedures or observation of public behavior that is not exempt under paragraph (2)(b) of this section, if:
a. The human participants are elected or appointed officials or candidates for public office; or
b. Federal statute(s) require(s) without exception that the confidentiality of the personally identifiable information will be maintained throughout the research and thereafter.
- "Research involving the collection or study of existing data, documents, records, pathological specimens, or diagnostic specimens, if these sources are publicly available or if the information is recorded by the investigator in such a manner that the participants cannot be identified, directly or through identifiers linked to the participants."
Explanation: Historical, literary, and journalistic research of the type described earlier as being excluded typically would also be described by point 4.
Situations arise in which records may be excerpted from a data source that does contain identified, sensitive information, but are provided to the investigator without identifiers. For instance, physicians might be asked to provide case summaries without identifiers. Such studies may be exempt, providing that the person excerpting the records already has authorized access to them for research purposes, and the investigator has no access to the original records.
"Existing" means that the data are "on the shelf" at the time the researcher develops a proposal for their use. Use of data not already on the shelf is not eligible for exemption.
- "Research and demonstration projects which are conducted by or subject to the approval of the US Federal department or agency heads, and which are designed to study, evaluate or otherwise examine: (a) public benefit or service programs; (b) procedures for obtaining benefits or services under those programs; or (c) possible changes in or alternatives to those programs or procedure; or (d) possible changes in methods or levels of payment for benefits or services under those programs."
Explanation: The "US Federal department or agency heads" referred to are federal, not state, local, or university. This category of exempt research refers to activities sponsored by federal agencies to evaluate their own benefit or service programs.
- "Taste and food quality evaluation and consumer acceptance studies, (a) if wholesome foods without additives are consumed or (b) if a food is consumed that contains a food ingredient at or below the level and for a use found to be safe, or agricultural chemical or environmental contaminant at or below the level found to be safe, by the Food and Drug Administration or approved by the Environmental Protection Agency or the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture."
- Research involving prisoners; this research would require a prisoner representative to serve on the board for review of the proposal.
- Studies of pregnant women where the focus of the research is on pregnancy and/or the fetus;
- Research on fetuses in utero;
- Research on minor children unless the research qualifies as educational research in the sense of items 1 and 2 above, or where the research does not involve direct interaction with the child; and
- Research using non-public records.
- "Collection of data from voice, video, digital or image recordings made for research purposes"
Explanation: Because recordings made of participants are de facto identifiable, research involving these techniques which would otherwise be exempt are eligible for minimal risk review using the expedited procedure. Such studies will be approved if the researcher outlines appropriate mechanisms to minimize the risks of invasion of privacy and breach of confidentiality.
- "Research on individual or group characteristics or behavior (including, but not limited to, research on perception, cognition, motivation, identity, language, communication, cultural beliefs or practices, and social behavior) or research employing survey, interview, oral history, focus group, evaluation, human factors evaluation, or quality assurance methodologies. (NOTE: some research in this category may be exempt from the HHS regulations, 45 CFR, Part 46.101 (b)(2) and (b)(3), for the protection of human participants. This listing refers only to research that is not exempt.)"
Explanation: Much behavioral research that does not qualify from exemption may be reviewed as minimal risk using the expedited procedure. this category is designed to accommodate research activities that pose no more than minimal risk to participants and that are not eligible for exemption. Please note that this category now includes minor participants.
- "Medical research with minimal risk:
a. Clinical studies of drugs and medical devices only when either of the following conditions is met.
Research on drugs for which an investigational new drug application (21 CFR, Part 312) is not required. (Note: Research on marketed drugs that significantly increases the risks or decreases the acceptability of the risks associated with the use of the product is not eligible for minimal risk review.)
Research on medical devices for which:
i. an investigational device exemption application (21 CFR, Part 812) is no required; or
ii. the medical device is cleared/approved for marketing and the medical device is being used in accordance with its cleared/approved labeling.
b. "Collection of blood samples by finger stick, heel stick, ear stick, or venipuncture as follows:
i. From healthy, nonpregnant adults who weigh at least 110 pounds. For these participants, the amounts drawn may not exceed 550 ml in an 8 week period and collection may not occur more frequently than 2 times per week; or
ii. From other adults and children, considering the age, weight, an health of the participants, the collection procedure, the amount of blood to be collected, and the frequency with which it will be collected. For these participants, the amount drawn may not exceed the lessor of 50 ml or 3 ml per kg in an 8 week period and collection may not occur more frequently than 2 times per week."
Explanation: This category allows minimal risk review of activities involving invasive blood draws from healthy normal participants and from non-healthy, pregnant, and minor participants within certain limits. Unless the researcher can demonstrate that infants and other minors would undergo a blood draw as a part of a "routine" physical examination, blood draws from healthy minors will not be reviewed as minimal risk using the expedited procedure.
NOTE: Grinnell's IRB requires IBC review for blood work, as blood is considered a biohazard.
c. Prospective collection of biological specimens for research purposes by noninvasive means.
Example: Hair and nail clippings.
d. "Collection of data through noninvasive procedures (not involving general anesthesia or sedation) routinely employed in clinical practice, excluding procedures involving x-rays or microwaves. Where medical devices are employed, they must be cleared/approved for marketing. (Studies intended to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the medical device are not generally eligible for minimal risk review. This includes studies of cleared medical devices for new indications."
- "Research involving materials (data, documents, records, or specimens) that have been collected, or will be collected solely for non-research purposes (such as medical treatment or diagnosis). (NOTE: Some research in this category may be exempt from the HHS regulations, 45 CFR, Part 46.101 (b)(4), for the protection of human participants. This listing refers only to research that is not exempt.)"
Explanation: This category allows the prospective use of data collected for non-research purposes. Data include information from medical records, insurance claim data, educational testing data, and other non-public information in identifiable form. Data set linkages could be considered in this category. The researcher must demonstrate that sufficient measures will be used to protect the confidentiality of the data to minimize the risk to participants of inadvertent disclosure.
- "Continuing review of research previously approved by the convened IRB as follows:
a. where
i. the research is permanently closed to the enrollment of new participants;
ii. all participants have completed all research-related interventions; and
iii. the research remains active only for long-term follow-up of participants; or
b. where no participants have been enrolled and no additional risks have been identifies; or
c. where the remaining research activities are limited to data analysis."
Explanation: Researchers who wish to have their applications for continuing review of projects previously reviewed by the IRB will have to demonstrate that the above conditions have been met.
- "Continuing review of research, not conducted under an investigational new drug application or investigational device exemption where categories 2 through 5 do not apply but the IRB has determined and documented at a convened meeting that the research involves no greater than minimal risk and no additional risks have been identified."
Explanation: This category applies to situations in which the full IRB conducts a continuing review of a study and determines that the following activity poses only minimal risks.

New York artist Sarah Sze created An Equal and Opposite Reaction, suspended in the grand lobby of McCaw Hall, home to Seattle Opera and Pacific Northwest Ballet. Each section of the suspended sculpture is constructed of hollow aluminum bars, filled with highly articulated fabricated parts and found objects, such as pushpins, rulers, zip ties, ladders, extension cords, industrial clamps, faux flowers, and tape measures. The vortex structure of the work sweeps the viewer's gaze up into the space above.
The artwork was built by Seattle Opera Scenic Studios. Seattle Opera has one of the most innovative scene shops in the country, and Sze realized the importance of having her sculpture in the hands of a team with technological expertise and artistic acumen.
The artist writes, "As an entrance piece to the opera and ballet, the piece is built as a welcoming monument filled with the fantasy, imagination, and excitement of attending a performance. It is also a piece that is meant to be revisited and rediscovered over time, whether it be upon entering the performance in the early evening light and seeing it anew upon leaving the performance in the late evening light, or seeing it over the course of several visits to the stage over the years."

I pride myself in being an open and fairly transparent person, but this book called me out. Called me out of hiding. I have yet to completely respond to that call, but at least I know now that I have a protective veil, a mask, that I have constructed to protect and try to keep me safe...and it needs to come off. There is a part of me that does not trust, that does not want to yield fully, so I keep the veil on for perceived safety.
In this candid confessional and authentic exhortation, Emily helps "good girls" identify areas in which they hide behind, like: good performance, spiritual disciplines, strength and responsibility, etc. She identifies the problems we face and then clearly points us to the One who can find us and can set us free. I underlined a lot in this book. It is a type of manual for this "try hard" girl who strives to "do" and isn't sure how to just "be".
I was fortunate to have opportunity to hear Emily speak at the 2010 She Speaks Conference. Emily is a rare gem and her writing will provide you with comfort and inspiration. I recommend you check out her blog "Chatting at the Sky".
For those of you who have been following my blog for a while now, you'll know that while I mostly read YA I also branch out at times. I am Christian, so once in a while those books include Christian fiction or non-fiction books. Grace for the Good Girl is a Christian non-fiction book.
Words completely fail me for this book. I have no clue how to convey to those of you who may be interested in this book, exactly what it means to me. I will say that when I was only halfway through the book that I went onto Amazon and ordered eleven more copies. ELEVEN. Why would I want eleven more copies of a book I already have? Because I couldn't count 6 people off the top of my head who I felt would love this as much as I love it. And it's the kind of book I want to have extra copies on hand, just in case I come across other people who are interested in it. And by the time the books arrived, I already knew of two other people who I was going to give copies too. THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE IT.
Maybe this book just came to me at the right time. Because I can tell you, I needed to hear what Emily had to share. I needed reminders of the promises God has given to us in the Bible. And I needed someone to meet me head-on and be honest with me; it's okay to be scared. It's okay to not have everything put together all neatly. Frankly, it's okay to be a bit of a mess. And I don't have to be pretend to be perfect because everything will be okay.
Well, thank goodness. If you're like me, you need to hear this. In between all of the school work and house work and relationships with those I care about and church involvement and professional school applications... well what else is there? And what if I don't measure up? Emily has something to share with us then:
That's okay. You don't have to all of this on your own.
And that's where I breathe a loud, exhaustive sigh of relief.
This book isn't going to be for everyone; but when it comes to those of Christian faith, I think it is going to have widespread appeal. Emily is so honest and encouraging, and it's perfect for those "normal" people who don't have anything drastic or exciting to share in their testimony. And for those who might have something a little more unique in their story? Well, it's for you too. I know it was definitely for me. And if only one person finds this book and decides to read it and finds something uplifting in it... well, then my job is done. I'm satisfied.
In fact, I'm going to pick it up and read it all over again. One chapter at a time, just the way I read through it before. I want to answer every question, I want to commit verses shared to memory because the last thing I want to do is finish reading this, put it on my shelf, walk away and forget.
I can't thank Emily enough for being the messenger and having the bravery to write this. And thank you so much to Graf-Martin for providing me with a review copy. This one's a winner.
Break out the road maps, find a place to go with your girlfriends and get together for a weekend. Challenge each other and open up to each other. Break through those masks! Curl on a sofa infront of a fireplace or a beach with this book, friends like sisters, and some hot chocolate. You won't regret it.

I was thinking about something the other day... It is one thing for us to have on the site, the "signs and symptoms of preeclampsia", but I would bet that that begs the question of many preeclamptic women "What kind of headache do they mean?" or "What's the swelling like?"
Well, if they are regular readers on the forum, then they might catch descriptions from us pree vets about how we experienced these things. But if they are casual visitors of the site, they might miss important info like that.
So, how would it be to have the signs & symptoms page show examples... something like this:
Sudden Weight Gain
A gain of more than 2 pounds in a week or 6 pounds in a month could be cause for concern
"I gained 9 pounds of fluid in 1 week. Luckily my OB was doing weekly visits --even at 26 weeks-- so this increase was caught." --Sharel from PA.
"I gained 10 lbs in about a week & a half. I knew it wasn't just from that visit to the dairy bar!" -- Jane Doe, CA
What I mean is, some real life "testimonies" might make the symptoms more real... give them something to think about. The Headache would be another good one to give examples of what some of us experienced.
Whatdaya think?

A new study by AAA found that hands-free devices and in-vehicle technologies designed to lessen distractions and dangers for drivers actually increases them.
Findings by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety show dangerous mental distractions exist even when drivers keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road, according to a statement from AAA. Research showed that as mental workload and distractions increase, reaction time is slowed and brain function is compromised. Consequently, drivers scan the road less, possibly resulting in a driver not seeing objects right in front of them, including stop signs and pedestrians.
Lt. Jake Mahoney, a spokesman for the Aiken Department of Public Safety, said he is not surprised by the study's findings.
"I think the use of any electronic device while driving is dangerous due to the fact that anything that diverts your attention from driving safely is a danger," he said. "Driving a motor vehicle is the most dangerous thing that an average person does on a daily basis. It requires your full attention, and anything, including cellphones, smartphones, use of any electronic device in a motor vehicle that diverts your attention from driving should be avoided."
The study is the most comprehensive of its kind, according to AAA. Cameras mounted inside an "instrumented" car tracked eye and head movement of drivers.
A detection-response-task device was used to record driver reaction time in response to triggers of red and green lights added to a driver's field of vision, and a special electroencephalographic-configured skull cap charted drivers' brain activity so researchers could determine mental workload.
In the study, drivers engaged in common tasks such as listening to an audio book, talking on the phone or responding to voice-activated emails while behind the wheel. The levels of mental distraction were represented on a scale.
Tasks such as listening to the radio ranked as a category one level of distraction, or a minimal risk. Talking on the cell phone, both hand-held and hands-free, was considered a category two risk. Listening to and responding to in-vehicle, voice-activated email features increased the driver's mental workload and distraction level to a category three rating.
"There is a looming public safety crisis ahead with the future proliferation of these in-vehicle technologies," AAA President and CEO Robert Darbelnet said. "It's time to consider limiting new and potentially dangerous mental distractions built into cars, particularly with the common public misconception that hands-free means risk-free."
Steve Deibel, owner and operator of Aiken Driving Academy, said the message to young drivers has focused on not texting and driving, but it needs to be expanded for all distracted driving.
"You get a lot of folks talking about how that's the wave," he said of the new in-car technologies. "Some of the new cars are coming out with Facebook and Twitter apps right there in the car. These screens they're putting in the car now, you can click on Facebook."
Deibel said anything a driver does behind the wheel, from programming a GPS, to talking to other passengers, is a distraction.
"If you're not thinking about what you're looking at, you're not focused on it," he said. "When you're focused on driving, you stand a better chance of avoiding crashes."
AAA has said it plans to promote dialogue with policymakers, safety advocates and manufacturers to ensure that the emerging in-vehicle technologies "won't lead to unintentional compromises in public safety."

10 Ways to Manage Your Hay Fever Symptoms
"Hay fever" (seasonal allergic rhinitis) affects over 20% of the people living in the U.S. Most common in early spring, the symptoms of hay fever develop as a reaction to allergens (allergy-causing substances) in the air, most notably to pollens in the early spring. Other examples of airborne allergens include moldspores, dust, and animal dander.
Pollen consists of the minuscule, male cells of flowering plants. Pollen from garden flowers usually doesn't cause allergies, since this type of pollen is large and waxy and most often carried by insects. Small, light, dry pollens produced by trees, grasses, and weeds can disseminate with the wind and lead to allergic symptoms.
Your doctor can help you determine whether treatments are necessary, such as prescription or non-prescription antihistamines to control the symptoms of hay fever. Whether or not you take medication for hay fever, you can still take steps to reduce the severity of your symptoms. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI) has some useful tips for those who suffer from seasonal allergies...

"Highlander Chefs" Stephen Guion, Maya Cormier, Stephen Guion, Becca Hammel, Katie Robinson and Megan Scribner created what they nicknamed the "underground breakfast pizza" for judges at the fourth annual Jr. Iron Chef competition last weekend.
A total of four teams of middle and high school students from Harwood Union prepared for weeks leading up to the competition held at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex last Saturday, March 26.
The competition was hosted by the Vermont Food Education Every Day (VT FEED) and the Burlington School Food Project; teams are challenged to create the best school food dish featuring local ingredients.
Middle school students Maddie Baughman, Kianna Haskin, Kaleigh Hamel, Nicholas Bartlett, Emeric Rochford, Borja Ferreras, Seethepali, Parker Sheinfeld, Connor Delaney and Ben Friedman competed in last Saturday's event.
The first Harwood middle school team prepared Peruvian style potatoes, the second HU middle school team made apple and cheddar crepes and the third HU middle school team submitted tomato and cornmeal dumplings.
Guion said that his team, the "Highlander Chefs," concocted a "Vermonte Cristo" which consisted of French toast with eggs and root vegetables mixed in.
"We're here because we love cooking and we're awesome," Guion said at the competition. This is his fourth year entering the competition.
One member of a middle school team said, "We did Peruvian-style potatoes which is a really good dish with eggs and potatoes and eggs; originally making the potatoes took two hours, but then this really awesome guy told us to hard boil them to cut the time."
When asked why they were participating, he continued, "We just thought it would be fun way to help the Localvores and cook a really good meal for the judges."
Harwood Union family and consumer sciences (FACS) teacher and coordinator Mary Holden said students started picking teams in the fall and started developing recipes after the first of the year.
"We had a wonderful time; we didn't win anything but it's the pride that you get for participating in the event that matters," she said.
Holden said many of the students were "surprised they could make something yummy out of vegetables, for one thing."
Jr. Iron Chef VT celebrates Farm to School by asking students to create dishes from Vermont ingredients in just 90 minutes. Over a thousand parents, siblings, classmates, farmers, teachers and community members filled the expo to witness the event.
In each competition prizes were awarded in three categories: Best in Show, Most Creative Dish, and Greatest Number and Best Use of Local Ingredients.
Winning teams are invited to the Vermont State House on April 6to be honored with a Legislative Resolution. They will cook taste tests for the legislators to try at lunch time and tour the Capitol.
