Half-human/half-monster Cal Leandros knows that family is a pain. But now that pain belongs to his half-brother, Niko. Niko's shady father is in town, and he needs a big favor. Even worse is the reunion being held by the devious Puck race--including Leandros' friend Robin--featuring a lottery that no Puck wants to win. Original.
Book: Doubletake by Rob Thurman
Release Date: March 6, 2012
Format: Mass market paperback
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Series: Cal Leandros, #7
Obtained: Received from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
Rating: (5 Zombies)
Around this time every year I'm always wild with anticipation for the next Cal Leandros book, and this year was no different. If you've been reading my blog consistently, then you know that I don't really like to choose favorites, but Cal Leandros is definitely my favorite Urban Fantasy. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts.
It had been a while (a year) since I read a Cal book before this, but I got into it easily and anything I didn't remember was covered within the first few chapters. It was definitely easy to follow and probably not a terrible place for people who haven't been reading the series to hop on, although it definitely includes a few references to the previous books, especially Roadkill.
I never realize how much I miss Cal in between books until the cover is released for the next book in the series and the OMG I can't wait starts all over again. I love sending in my review requests to the publisher in January and waiting eagerly to see if an advanced copy comes in the mail. Last year it was an ARC, this year it was a finished copy, but still a month early. Either way, I love getting the next Cal book in the mail and immediately diving in to see what happens next.
The action in this book definitely lived up to that of the previous titles, and then surpassed it, and the character development was amazing! And we finally get to find out how Pucks procreate! Yes, this is the detail that sticks out the most to me. I love me some Goodfellow.
Anyone who isn't caught up, or, God forbid, hasn't read any of the Cal Leandros books yet, needs to immediately get your ass to the library and get as many as you haven't read, because they are all definitely worth reading. Thurman is the Shakespeare of our time, if Shakespeare liked lots of guns and violence and horror and the best sarcasm around.

How to Show Respect for a Parent: A Jewish View
It's not only what you do for your parents that counts, but how you do it as well.
By Rabbi Nachum Amsel
We Also Recommend
The Torah makes general demands that we treat our parents with respect and reverence. Rabbinic literature attempts to spell out the details. Reprinted with permission from The Jewish Encyclopedia of Moral and Ethical Issues (Jason Aronson).
The classic text defining the specific requirements to fulfill [the biblical commandments] "Honor your father and your mother" (Exodus 20:12) and "You shall fear your mother and your father" (Leviticus 19:3) can be found in the [Babylonian] Talmud [abbreviated as BT], Kiddushin 31b. "Fear" is defined as not sitting or standing in a parent's designated place and not contradicting a parent, while "honor" is defined as feeding parents, clothing parents, and helping them come in and out.
On the face of it, it does not seem that a person is being honored by making sure they are fed or clothed. These are acts of charity usually reserved for homeless or poor people. How can this be called honor? The Hebrew word in the Torah in the verse regarding parents, kavod, does not really mean honor, which is a poor English translation. In another talmudic statement (BT Berakhot 19b), this same word is used to say that human dignity is extremely important. Therefore, the true meaning of the word kavod is dignity. Thus, the mitzvah is to dignify one's father and mother, to keep their dignity.
We can now understand the specifics mentioned in the Talmud. Keeping parents clothed and fed when they can no longer do so for themselves indeed retains their dignity. Similarly, helping them in and out of the house preserves their dignity. Thus, the first mitzvah is to preserve a parent's dignity at all costs.
The other term, morah, does not really mean fear or awe as is usually translated, but this is the real word for honor and respect. We show respect and honor by not interrupting or by not sitting in someone's seat.
How Not to Show Respect for a Parent
The idea of keeping a parent's dignity as the essence of the mitzvah is borne out by a passage in the Jerusalem Talmud, which says that it is possible to feed one's parent succulent hens and still inherit hell, while a person can make his parent work on a grindstone and still inherit paradise. The passage continues to explain that the child gives a father succulent food, but when the father asks where the food is from, the son answers "Quiet, old man. A dog eats quietly, so you eat quietly." This son inherits hell. However, the second case involved the son who worked at the grindstone. When the king summoned grindstone workers to the palace to endure back-breaking work, the son told the father to take the son's place at the family's own grindstone and to work, so that the father would not suffer or be treated in an undignified manner before the king. This son inherits paradise.

In Detail
Moving your classes and resources online with a Learning Management System such as Moodle opens up a whole world of possibilities for teaching your students. However, it also opens up a number of threats as your students, private information, and resources become vulnerable to cyber attacks. Learn how to safeguard Moodle to keep the bad guys at bay.
Moodle Security will show you how to make sure that only authorized users can access the information on your Moodle site. This may seem simple, but, every day, systems get hacked and information gets lost or misused. Imagine the consequences if that were to happen in your school. The straightforward examples in this book will help you to lock down those access routes one door at a time.
By learning about the different types of potential threat, reading this book will prepare you for the worst. Web robots can harvest your e-mail addresses to send spam e-mails from your account, which could have devastating effects. Moodle comes with a number of set roles and permissions – make sure these are assigned to the right people, and are set to keep out the spam bots, using Moodle's authentication features. Learn how to secure both Windows and Linux servers and to make sure that none of your system files are accessible to the wrong people.

You will learn to work with the tools that help you to do this and enable you to back up your settings so that even a crashed system can't bother you.

Xavier has taken home the Traveling Trophy two seasons in a row.
CINCINNATI- Xavier men's and women's cross country is set to compete in the 31st annual Queen City Invitational this weekend at Mount Airy Forest here in Cincinnati. The Musketeers have taken home the Traveling Trophy each of the past two seasons.
Last year, the women's team placed first behind strong running from junior Ashley Vincent, who placed 2nd overall, followed by her teammates senior Calesse Cardosi, junior Anna Ahlrichs, and juniors Abby Fischer and Clare Fischer, each finishing in the top fifteen. The men's team finished second at last year's meet led by junior Tom Ohlman who placed 3rd overall leading all Musketeer men.
This will be the second meet of the season for Xavier, but the first for many of the participants. The men's side will run eleven of its members including the five runners who placed first through fifth in last week's Mount St. Joseph Invitational: juniors Spencer Liechty and Chris Hanson, sophomores Corey Zielinski and Matt Orlando, and freshman Austin Winter. In addition to those five will be Ohlman, seniors Hank Geer and Ben Foley, juniors Keith Schenkel and Nick Kobunski, and sophomore Connor Buchholz. The women's side of eleven also includes the five runners who finished second through sixth last week at Heritage Park: junior Madison Riethman, sophomores Emily Kuhn and Carrie Kurish, and freshmen Emily Wolery and Victoria Ciotti. Cardosi and fellow senior Kaitlin Price, Fischer and junior Jessica Albers, sophomore Audrey Ramos, and freshman Sarah Mazzei are the remaining participants for the women.
Xavier will be defending their trophy against fifteen other schools this weekend. The men's 5K starts things off Friday, September 7th at 5 p.m. with the women's 5K following soon after at 5:45 p.m.

We (Brent) are refinishing our kitchen cabinets. This is one of those jobs that always creates more jobs, in a seemingly endless string until months have passed and you want to kill your spouse every time you look at it.
Months ago, Brent took the doors off the cupboards, cleaned, and sanded them to be restained.
He has not touched them since, and is now spending hours preparing the cupboards themselves for cleaning and sanding. He took off the range hood and ranted about how dirty it was and how he wanted to purchase a new one rather than put that old one back up. Granted, it was gross. One look and I agreed. New range hood in our near future. Price tag? $150. Okay.
So we went to Ikea for a few odds and ends, stocking stuffers for the boys (they have awesome masks for the boys' dress up box) and new bowls for their snacks (metal! Won't break OR leech plastic grossies into snacks). So we were wandering leisurely past the kitchen area (the big boys were in Smalland...how much do WE love Ikea? Free babysitting, thanks!), when we noticed that they had a stainless steel and black, large, fancy microwave WITH A RANGE HOOD ATTACHED!! We're in the market for a new microwave, too. Hmmm....
Price tag? $350. We'll think it over. Save up. Come back in a few months, maybe? Okay.
And THEN we went to the As Is section, because who doesn't?
In the As Is section what do we see? A silver and black microwave with range hood attached, for $250. What's wrong with it? The box has a rip in it. Seriously!!! $100 off because the box has a rip in it! Whoever was on duty the day this one came in had their head screwed on backwards, but we'll take it! It was like that Ikea commercial where the wife gets in the car and yells at her husband to "DRIVE! DRIVE!" because she thinks her bill is so low someone must have made a mistake and given her some of her stuff for free!
Smokin' deal, folks.
Now, if my husband ever gets his gear in order and installs the thing....(first would come the refinishing of the cupboards)...

I am also a huge fan of the as is section! We found our Master bedroom frame there for $40 bucks because it had some blue paint on the under side of the frame. Who cares! Sweet deal! Also I completely understand the reno frustrations... we renovated our entire last house...ahhh. If you look back on the blog entry for April 13th,2007 you can see some the disaster we lived in... not the best times, but totally worth it!

Sorry you feel that way; p-dub. I'm guessing you've never run a business and have no idea how much of a jewel in the rough this place is.Perhaps if you travel out into the rest of the world you'll see what a deal that is. In many cities you get poor or no service for quality that falls far short of the Sim's establishment. Wishin' I was there today !! (But it's a long walk from here in CA.)
Best Bibimbap St. Louis 2007 - U-City Grill
6696 Enright Ave.
University City, MO 63130
Bibimbap "mixed rice," in Korean, and spelled a zillion different transliterated ways has to be one of the world's best comfort foods. At the hands of Yong Sup Sim and his wife So La Sim, owners of the nineteen-year-old U-City Grill, the dish does take you back to the blithe old days. Back to that time when food on the table constituted a fact, not a responsibility that required some amount of sweat and the ability to balance a checkbook. The Sims' bibimbap, you see, is so simple: sticky rice blanketed with matchsticks of the freshest carrots, cucumbers, bean sprouts and lettuce, topped with thin strips of tangy marinated beef and caressed by an egg fried so lightly that the white hasn't a single fray around its edges. So La Sim makes her own hot sauce, which finishes the dish. (Alas, the sauce's recipe is a secret.) The couple, their surroundings and the price ($5.45) couldn't come off more humbly, but the bibimbap leaves one full with the feeling that the whole world is within a fork's reach.

More than 1,000 exposed to dengue in Florida: CDC | Reuters:
"Five percent of the population of Key West, Florida -- more than 1,000 people -- have been infected at some point with the dengue virus, government researchers reported on Tuesday.
Most probably did not even know it, but the findings show the sometimes deadly infection is making its way north into the United States, the researchers said.
'We're concerned that if dengue gains a foothold in Key West, it will travel to other southern cities where the mosquito that transmits dengue is present, like Miami,' said Harold Margolis, chief of the dengue branch at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
'These cases represent the reemergence of dengue fever in Florida and elsewhere in the United States after 75 years,' Margolis said in a statement..."

Shooting Range Case Before Michigan Supreme Court Thursday
On Thursday, the Michigan Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case of Addison Township v. Jerry Klein Barnhart, which could have far-reaching implications for Michigan shooting ranges. At issue is whether a shooting range's business or commercial activities invalidate its protection from local zoning ordinances under Michigan's Sport Shooting Ranges Act. Michigan United Conservation Clubs filed an Amicus Curiae ("friend of the court") brief in this case advocating that shooting ranges are protected under the act regardless of their commercial activities.
The Sport Shooting Ranges Act (SSRA) was originally passed in 1989 to provide shooting ranges protection from noise and nuisance lawsuits as urban sprawl brought more residential homeowners in closer proximity to existing shooting ranges. It was amended in 1994 to further exempt then-existing shooting ranges from local zoning ordinances.
The SSRA specifically protects any "person who owns or operates or uses a shooting range that conforms to generally accepted operation practices…" and specifically defines "person" to include proprietorships, partnerships and corporations, which are business and commercial entities. Further, the act specifically defines "sport shooting range" to mean "an area designed and operated for the use of archery, rifles, shotguns pistols, silhouettes, skeet, trap, black powder or any similar sport shooting."
When courts interpret statues like the SSRA, they are supposed to adhere to the definitions and clear terms of the statute. Outside sources like dictionary definitions are supposed to be consulted only if the statutory definition is unclear. Instead, the Court of Appeals fixated on the word "sport," pulled out a dictionary and decided that since "sport" was defined as "athletic activity," "diversion or recreation," any range that also had business activities was unprotected by the SSRA.
Nowhere in the SSRA does it exclude shooting ranges with business or commercial activities from its protections, but somehow that's what the Court of Appeals decided. The Court of Appeals reasoned that it had to do this to avoid making the single word "sport" meaningless in the statute, but in doing so, it made the entire Sport Shooting Ranges Act meaningless, since almost every range charges at least a user fee, and the majority of Michigan shooting ranges also provide firearm instruction for a fee.
If the Court of Appeals' decision stands, Michigan's shooting ranges, including many of those operated by MUCC member clubs, could once again be in jeopardy of having to defend countless noise and nuisance lawsuits and anti-shooting zoning regulations resulting from urban sprawl. We won't know what the Michigan Supreme Court decides on Thursday, but the arguments will be an important factor in how the justices ultimately rule.
Follow MUCC on Facebook and Twitter for current updates on this case and other important conservation issues. On Thursday, April 11, we'll provide up-to-the-minute updates on this case, the DNR's wolf hunting regulation proposals to the Natural Resources Commission and a new bill package before the Senate Committee on Natural Resources.

Below is the poem entitled Love: lost over vital emotions! which was written by poet
Obadan. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Damion Obadan
Love is like driving in the fog.
Uncertain, but you take a chance.
You can't see what's in front of you nor do you know how the journey ends.
A union that you envision is blessed by the grace of God.
Love is a battle: an the road is atrocious & hard.
Love makes you do things that you usually wouldn't do.
Fogs your perception & leaves you with out a clue.
Anything worth having want be easy.
Love knocks you down & for every smile there's a frown: trust & believe me!
A beautiful coin with two sides: love & hate!
I'm lost over vital emotions an I can't escape. L.O.V.E.!

Taken from Lawrence's Blog. ( With his permission of course :) )"'August 29', a film I shot near to two years ago was recently re-screened at a new campaign initiative by Health Promotion Board (Singapore) call Love +ve.Click here to know more about this campaign.Commissioned by Health Promotion Board, this film aims to raise awareness about AIDS and safe-sex in a subtle way. "August 29″ was first screened at Orchard Cineleisure early last year and it's a heart-wrenching love story about a girl who's dying of AIDS and how she chooses to spend her last days with her ex-boyfriend, a photographer.Her ex-boyfriend, the photographer, would be me. hahaSeriously, I really like this film. I think the team behind it was brilliant, the motivation behind the story was cause worthy and the execution of it was tasteful. Though there are certain parts of the film where I cringe due to my raw acting. I'm positive my craft is much better now. LOL! So do pardon me!Do take some time to watch the film and let me know what you think. "Video: http://blip.tv/file/1207596/"P/S: Do spread the film around if you can. Thanks…"
Interviews###Exclusive interview with Evelyn Maria, actor in Female Games Sinema | July 18, 2009Interviewed by MiaoIn view of the up and coming World Premiere of 'Female Games' at Sinema Old School, Evelyn Maria Ng gives us an exclusive interview as she discusses the insights into acting in a Kan Lume film as well as the challenges that she encountered on set.Miao (MI): What do you think about the film and its portrayals' of the workings of the female mind and maybe homosexuality?Evelyn Maria (EM): I feel that in Female Games the film portrays the female mind and homosexuality accurately. Its art imitating life.MI: How well do you think the film connects to real life artistes (models and actresses)? Does it portray the modeling industry accurately?EM: I feel that the film connects to real life artistes such as models and actors quite well. I would not say that it portrays the entire modeling industry. Its boils down to individual characteristics. The film is portraying what is the worst that can happen if best friends become worst enemies. Im sure girls get bitchy in the office as well. This type of behaviour is not stereotypical to just models and actors.MI: Can you share with us about your experience of going nude on screen? Was it a huge consideration on your part or…?EM: I felt extremely shy but tried not to think too much about it. It was less nerve wrecking as Kan was the only person filming there and it was a closed set. Yes, it was a huge consideration on my part as I am not completely comfortable with my body. Every actor comes to a point when they have to decide to bare or not to bare. Kan was very respectful and the scenes were artistically done.MI: Did you encounter any personal dilemma or difficulties in taking up the role of Alexia?EM: No, I did not encounter any personal dilemma or difficulities in taking up the role of Alexia as she's a very real character.MI: Tell us about the catfight that you had with Qiao yun? What were you thinking about when you were acting out the catfight? Out of curiosity, was the lady (and maybe the rest of the onlookers as well) who attempted to stop the fight supposed to be part of the scene? EM: The catfight I had with Qiao yun was real and scary! I was discussing with her before the scene to go gentle and that it was just acting. She said we had to do it for real then it would look better on screen. So when the scene started, she pushed me against a metal backing on the wall and I had to retaliate as she kept coming at me with her punches and hits. That girl is skinny but damn can she fight! I would like to consider that I am a lover not a fighter unless provoked. I kept trying to get away but she kept coming after me. At the end of the scene, I was pretty traumatised and shaken up and actually ended up crying. Kan was apologetic that we had to experience such a traumatic scene but explained that it looked good on screen and was worth it. Qiao Yun was pretty shaken up too. I had accidentally scratched her and she had some clumps of her hair out. We were rather battered, but Qiao Yun said she enjoyed it. The lady and the onlookers thought that the fight scene was really going on as we were actually fighting.MI: Was the film strictly scripted or you and the other actors had the chance of free-spirited dialogue throughout the film?EM: The film was unscripted. Kan believed in serendipity and once we trust the process that everything will just flow. Sometimes Kan would give us a setting and ask us to act. Sometimes he would tell us what he wanted. Other times we may come up with our own lines or Kan would instruct us what to say.MI: How much do you draw on your own experience when you act?EM: Most actors personalise or draw from their own experiences. Even if not the same but similar experiences help.MI: Has this been your most challenging role?EM: I would say that the fight scene and the nude scene was most challenging.MI: What do you think about the cuts that were passed for the film? Were they essential to bring out the film better? Did it change the original message of the film somehow?EM: Kan says that what is shown is the final cut for the film.MI: Lastly, How much can you relate yourself to the film?EM: I can relate to the film as there can be mean people out there saying mean things, but most importantly we have to to focus on the positive and eliminate the negative. We have to surround ourselves with the people who really care for us. I believe there is time and opportunity for everyone. If it's your time, it's your time.

Top Favourite of First Take 2008:
Walking down a busy street, a reporter is handed a flyer that reads: "Would you like to die? Visit us at Block 108, Kallang Way." He goes to the address to investigate but gets sucked into a bizarre world of shadows and enigma. His colleagues try to rescue him, but they too become ensnared…
THE MITRE SPELL began as a curious query more than anything. Coming from the States, I was fascinated with Singapore's slight obsession with the supernatural and began location scouting spooky places for inspiration. I was soon directed to the now defunct Mitre Hotel, which still has a few tenants and operates as a bar... sort of. What started off as a one night visit and a few questions, soon became a fledgling documentary project. At the Mitre, there was an endless supply of quirky answers that inevitably gave rise to more questions. We started recording interviews on tape and were given permission to roam the premise for a time. Soon it would seem, I too came under the Mitre spell and became fascinated with the old place. This is part of the story.
A man, dissatisfied with a white cube for a head, decides to give it up immediately for a fanciful one in the name of self-improvement.
"Life is similar to a cup of tea, once the cup is broken, the tea remains as tea."
A subjective video in the style of a documentary about P. Ramlee and the fall of Malay Film Industries during the 70s, of how they have been forgotten by the people today and to bring back memories of what it is to be called the golden era of film at that time. Could we have another P. Ramlee today?
Shut In explores the dysfunctional world of Jason, a young urban hermit whose solitary lifestyle is disrupted when Janice, a vivacious young woman turns up unexpectedly at his front door. A beautiful chemistry develops. Janice brings life and vitality to Jason, something that was lost to him when he shut himself in. But it seems that Janice has a little secret and as with all secrets, it eventually unravels.
A portrait of the accidental dissolution of human relationships, set against the backdrop of hollow, superficial and volatile electronic communication. Peggy (Neo Swee Lin), a lonely retiree hooked on American soap operas, has an introverted son, who suffers from social anxiety disorder. They live in the same house but exit in completely different realities that never converge.
What is the definition of normality? Two young kidney patients go on a quest to challenge society's perception of them. In the process, they discover their own ability to redefine what being normal is all about.
Best Friends Jas and Farid are interested in learning lion dance. However, they face many obstacles and challenges while learning a different culture. In a multi-cultural country such as Singapore, will they be able to realize their dreams?

Meatus / Urethra irritated by switch to bi-directional device?
There are several factors here, so read everything before drawing a conclusion.
1. I noticed a day or two ago that urinating was normal until the very very end. When the flow comes to a stop, I get a burning sensation that remains so for several minutes after urination. KEEP READING.
2. It happens sometimes, not always.
3. Today, it happened again, and I noticed when I grabbed my penis near the tip and squeezed the urethra, it was painful. So I carefully pulled myself open a little and noticed a buildup of tiny white ball-shaped things. When I squeezed the kegel muscles, a LOT of it pushed out. When I wiped it away, it didn't retain the ball shapes and became liquidish.
4. Now, I immediately thought Gonorrhea. Curiously, though, this is not an ongoing issue, and I have had no kind of sexual contact whatsoever for almost 8 months. Doing some research, I found that Urethral Stricture best fit the description of my symptoms. Here's the catch.
5. About 2 weeks ago I switched from using the TLC Tugger to using the TLC-X. In the wiki about Urethal Strictures, it mentions a buildup of something can be caused by damage to the urethra.
Ultimately, I am going to see the doctor to get tested for Gonorrhea ASAP. But I want to know if ANYONE ELSE has had this issue when using the TLC-X? If not, then I must have contracted this months and months and months ago and had nothing noticable until now, which is possible x.X
Re: Health Question, NEED REPLY.
I don't see how the tlc-x could cause that type of phenomenon. Go to the doctor immediately and have yourself tested for STDs. This is very much out of the range of "normal". That's the only advice I can give you. I have never heard of such a thing.
Re: Health Question, NEED REPLY.
I doubt its from tugging, maybe a UTI (urinary tract infection)
Re: Health Question, NEED REPLY.
He says it's most likely not an STD since there has been no intercourse for such a long period of time and I have never had these symptoms before. Since it is so recent, he expects it's caused by the tlc-x for 2 reasons.
1. Since the urethra is covered by the device, or due to the fact that the penis is being covered when it isn't used to such, oxygen is trapped inside and creates a perfect haven for pre-existing bacteria everyone has all over their bodies inside and out to grow.
2. Most likely this is aggravated by forgetting to clean the device for a day.
He also said it's likely that I have a bladder infection, and it's common among everyone.
The advice he gave is to stop using the device at least until Friday to see what happens. Keep my normal regimen of showering and keeping clean.. if the problem worsens, call immediately. He ordered I get a urine test done, which I am going to go do in a moment. Once everything has been cleared up, just make sure I keep the device very very clean when I use it, wash it before and after use.
Re: Health Question, NEED REPLY.
This certainly points up how each of us must be attentive as you were adn take responsibility for anything that doesn't seem right. It also reminds us that methods that press against the meatus must be used judiciously, with attention to device cleanliness and with care not to bruise the delicate bits.
Re: Meatus / Urethra irritated by switch to bi-directional device?
Re: Meatus / Urethra irritated by switch to bi-directional device?
I had a similar experience a year or so ago. Had what I thought was an STI (sexually transmitted infection) that turned out to be a UTI (urinary tract infection).
A course of doxycycline (antibiotic) was ordered after a urine sample, and fixed the problem up within a week or so.
Good luck... I know that "burning feeling" well and don't wish to get it again.
BTW, it would appear my UTI was also caused by not cleaning my devices properly too.

The average Customer Service Team Leader in the United States can expect to rake in roughly $14.77 per hour. Incomes of Customer Service Team Leaders vary widely depending on performance components; bonuses and profit sharing that can occasionally exceed $5K cause paychecks to spread between $22K on the low end and $55K on the high end. Geographic location is the main element affecting pay for this group — career length and the particular employer are driving factors as well. Health benefits are not claimed by all — just over a fifth lack any form of coverage — but a strong majority have medical insurance, and more than half have dental, too. The majority of workers are highly satisfied with their job. Men are in the minority of survey respondents, with female Customer Service Team Leaders making up 72 percent. The data in this summary comes from the PayScale salary survey.

Copy and paste this HTML:
Customer service team leaders complete a variety of tasks, usually under the supervision of a team supervisor. They are typically former customer service representatives who have shown that they have excellent customer service skills and above-average knowledge of their companies. However, some companies hire team leaders directly from outside when the applicants show that they have ample experience. In general, team leaders must have a high school diploma and customer service experience, although a bachelor's degree may be preferred. Shifts for team leaders vary, with some services available 24 hours a day and requiring team leaders for overnight and weekend shifts.Read More...
One of the team leaders' main task is help associates with customer service queries. Team leaders also handle escalated queries or calls, those which agents generally can't handle on their own or in which a supervisor is requested by a customer. To handle escalated calls, a team leader should be empathetic and patient. Team leaders also hold team meetings, so the ability to speak in front of a group is also needed. Depending on the company, team leaders are sometimes required to grade calls, in which they listen to associates' phone calls and grade them on elements such as handle time, scripting, and sales. They also supervise team members' performance and discipline team members as necessary.
Although Target Corporation heads up the field in terms of compensation, offering the highest median salary at $33K, pay at this particular employer still varies considerably, running the full spectrum from $21K to $63K.
Customer Service Team Leaders report using a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Customer Service Metrics, Operations Management, Training, and Customer Relationship Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 8 percent and 19 percent. Those listing Cash Handling as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Oral / Verbal Communication and Sales also typically command lower compensation. Those familiar with Customer Service also tend to know Customer Relations and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Customer Service Team Leaders, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $33K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $37K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Customer Service Team Leaders make a median salary of $39K. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $41K.
San Francisco is home to an above-average pay rate for Customer Service Team Leaders, 33 percent higher than the national average. Customer Service Team Leaders can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Seattle (+21 percent), New York (+18 percent), Chicago (+17 percent), and Pittsburgh (+15 percent). Customer Service Team Leaders in Jacksonville take home the lowest salaries, earning a whopping 23 percent less than the national average.

|Chris_Carss (November 18, 2012, 5:35 am)
Long delayed response to Ferrari (took a long time to bump into this page!): Yes, Miley has some muscle (or used to), but more toned than peaked. The trailer to a movie she starred in a few years ago showed her swinging on a rope Tarzan-style with her arms flexed and her legs hanging free so that her arm-muscles were lifting or supporting much of her body weight. Strong girl for a music diva!

|Chris_Carss (November 18, 2012, 8:42 am)
Ferrari: Unfortunately, I only ever saw the trailer on TV, so I don't have a digital copy I can upload or e-mail. However, there's a pic of her flexing on this site which can be accessed by wordsearching her name. Not BB calibre physique, but impressive for her being only about 15 or maybe younger when the pic was taken.

The best breakfast I ever had was made by my bro's missus, it was eggs benedict with bagels instead of english muffins, streaky bacon instead of canadian, homemade hollandaise and a side of salad with all the trimmings with fresh cut strawberries and a balsamic reduction, I've never had a better breakfast since.
Logging in after a year hiatus in London to say this is my favourite takeaway restaurant in New York City. If you didn't have the chorizo tacos or the sopes carnitas you haven't eaten here.
Huipil is closed.
Lol +1 for DanielJ
that sucks Kenji, RIP
My girlfriend loves Irish pub burgers (corner bistro/JG Melon) I would love to see how to make her the perfect one.
Also the bitterballen in Vandaag in the East Village pretty much blows the stuff I had in Dutch bars away (although that stuff was frozen admittedly and Vandaag make theirs fresh). I might have to take a trip to Vandaag now, damnit!
As someone who lived in Rotterdam I can tell you that broodje haring (herring bread) is kind of a seasonal thing (June I think) because herring come in fresh at a certain time of year.
Not sure if you got a bad one but the pickled herring and onion rolls that I ate in Holland over the year I was there were fantastic.
You missed out on filet american (steak tartare on a bread roll) I used to love that stuff!
brisket looks amazing.
guhhhh so hungry right now.
+1 for beemoh's idea, could do that in a future episode of slice!
Was it Kenji? That sounds horrendous by the way.
Ah my hood. Pizza Suprema is definitely the best by a mile. I love how they usually have a pie hot out of the oven if you go for the plain slice.
Careful though, eating it on the street I've probably burned the roof of my mouth tens of times.
The thing about Amadeus is that they're open until some crazy hour so if you've got the munchies and you need a quick delivery at 4am they're the only option and they deliver by the slice. To be honest their buffalo wings are better than their pizza! Their burgers however are horrendous cafeteria pucks.
Get a Pie Minister Pie on the southbank. Extra points if you get it with somerset cider. Oh Glastonbury you cannot come fast enough!!!
scratch that didn't read your comment properly, they're only good for italian style.
Esposito's pork shop Hells Kitchen
quail eggs can be found in the korean market in koreatown.
best thing in chipotle I think are the salad bowls, still not great for you but their shredded pork and shredded beef rule with a lot of red (hot) salsa.
Don't know why Shepard's Pie in America is made with beef. Surely Shepard would imply lamb, which is the trad Irish way...
It all is making me homesick though.
I'm Irish and have no idea what this is.
I tried Citarella in the village and they didn't have them. Guess I'll check the Chelsea market.
Thanks guys!
Pizza Suprema.
mrbmg, no you don't.
So I left NYC for my new job in London in May.
Returning for a visit next weekend, what's opened over the summer that's awesome and I must try?
My girlfriend is used to scallops coming in the shell in her home country and particularly likes the yellow part.
We looked everywhere in Chinatown and were unable to locate any fresh scallops, we could only find frozen or fresh out of the shell.
Does anyone know anywhere in the city that sells them in the shell and fresh caught that day?
So My girlfriend is French and is always looking for an authentic crepe. We tried Bar Breton but their fancy riff on crepes didn't sit will with her, she just wants a goto place cheap like in france for an authentic french style crepe preferably with good chocolate fillings. Any recommendations that put nutella near a crepe will be disqualified and mocked.
I was wondering if hand slicing meat like in Katz's is superior to machine slicing because of the friction heat created by a spinning blade. A friend and I disagreed over it. I'm thinking it would adversely affect things like cured meats etc, but what about cooked meats?
Someone asked me where in NYC to go for good Australian food. I said, I don't know, but I sure as hell know a site that will... Suggestions?
Don't say Outback.
Does anyone know where you can get an Authentic French baguette in NYC? I have been to France many times and whatever way they make their baguettes I have never seen the elasticity of the dough and the crispness of the crust replicated outside of France.

Event on Thursday, April 19 at Aquinas College Performing Art Center will reveal why Costa Rica's biodiversity development matters to the rest of the world.
April 12, 2012 - (Grand Rapids, Mich.) - On April 19, 2012, the biodiversity of Costa Rica will come alive at Aquinas College during the 16th annual Wege Foundation Speaker Series. Dr. Daniel H. Janzen has devoted his life to preserving and protecting biodiversity in the tropical forests of Costa Rica. His passion for this work has paid off. This project is now the oldest, largest, and most successful ecosystem restoration project on the planet.
Janzen's work has been recognized with a MacArthur Fellowship, the Crafoord Prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and, the Kyoto Prize, considered the Nobel Prize of Japan. Janzen will talk about his work to restore the forest ecosystems in a large conserved wildland in northwestern Costa Rica, conservation through biodiversity development, and why what happens in Costa Rica matters to the rest of the world.
The heart of Dr. Janzen's success story is the Area de Conservacion Guanacaste (ACG) equaling two percent of the entire country and stretching six kilometers into the Pacific. The University of Pennsylvania biologist's passion for conservation is driven by the fact that the ACG contains 350,000 species of plants and animals or 2.6 percent of the world's biodiversity – as much as the U.S. and Canada combined.
In addition to Janzen, this year's Wege Lecture will include additional experts on tropical restoration, including Dr. Janzen's wife and fellow scientist Dr. Winnie Hallwachs and William Allen, who authored the book "Green Phoenix", which documents how Janzen and Hallwachs brought Costa Rica's burned-out pastures back to life through reforestation. Allen and Janzen will be available to sign copies of his book after the lecture.
The public is welcome to attend the Wege Foundation Speaker Series event, which takes place on April 19, 2012, 4 to 5 p.m. at Aquinas College's Performing Arts Center. Guests are invited to stay for a reception and book signing after Dr. Janzen's talk. The event is free, but seating is limited.
Every spring since 1997 the Wege Foundation invites a renowned economicologist to present a free public lecture.

7. Attributes: Adding interest to your page.
Bold headlines and organized lists are nice but theres got to be more to a web page than that. How about some color and variety? Glad you asked, because thats where attributes come in. Dont let the word scare you. Attributes are just special codes placed within the HTML tags that describe how the tags will look.
Color Attribute
With this code, your web page appears like this in your browser.
Notice the attributes: bgcolor and text. They are placed within the  tag. Theres that nesting thing again. Attributes never stand alone. Instead, they always appear inside a body tag.
Let's look a little closer at the body attribute:
It's that simple. Now let's try some more. But first, here's something to remember...
to Remember
example the hex code for black is #000000, while white is #ffffff. For a complete list of

Heres a simple example for the align attribute:

vacation was wonderful, except for the terrible storms we had during the first part of the

Editorial: Successful planning, direction
Starting a project from scratch or somewhere awful close to it can be scary, challenging and frustrating. Its rewards can go beyond imagination.
Or, quite often, reset someone's imagination.
Whether we choose to think inside or outside of the box, effort should be given in a collective manner for the future of our community. It happens regularly with government leaders, through various arms of economic activity and development, and through the strong support afforded to numerous non-profits.
Current status and results of recent years against the tide of a recession lead us to suggest something more is necessary. Few among us are discouraged enough to declare the sky is falling; but there is scarcity of believers our future is super bright.
We won't have to start from scratch. Positive points are already in place.
Should we choose not to start yet another entity and climb aboard its bandwagon, then we need one to step forward more than is taking place now.
Two stories circulating this weekend in different arenas are examples for our encouragement.
Half a century ago, Upward Bound was an experiment of President Johnson's War on Poverty. Students from low-income families who might not have gained a college education otherwise have been pouring out ever since.
From 2,061 participants the first year to about 76,000 currently, it has grown successfully.
Ten years ago, the already popular NFL considered satellite radio 24 hours a day seven days a week. Radio, in an Internet and television age 21st century? Sirius had about 500,000 subscribers then and now numbers 18.5 million.
Downtown projects that began more than 30 years ago in New Bern and Salisbury are examples closer to our community needs. Each was arguably "just another town" in the 1970s, with movement from inside the city to the edge near major roads and more traffic.
But in each community now, the downtown is alive with activity.
Overnight or single year changes didn't happen in any of those four examples. Nor in any of hundreds more we could list.
But sustained planning and direction did take root, and what followed was a series of paths to be chosen and sometimes from which to be redirected.
Our community needs defined direction. And in time, we can be the example for others.

Eagles soccer off to a blistering start
The Seymour Eagles went to Kingsport viewing the Dobyns-Bennett tournament as a stepping stone. What they may have found instead was a launching pad.
The Blue and Gold went 4-0 at the usually-tough tournament, earning impressive wins over Sullivan South, Carter, Oak Ridge and Lenoir City to capture the tournament title and give the program its best start since the turn of the century.
"There were 12 teams in it, everybody played four games, and they had a point system," Seymour coach Drew Payne said Monday. "We had the most points, and we were the only team that went no losses and no ties."
Saturday night against the Oak Ridge Wildcats, the Eagles scored their most impressive victory of the young season.
"We played really well against Oak Ridge, which is a really good team, and a really good measuring stick for us," Payne said.
The Eagles used stategy earlier in the day during their 4-0 victory over Carter to prepare them for the Wildcats.
"We did a pretty good job managing (fatigue), in terms of resting," the coach said. "Four games in three days in soccer is crazy. We tried to have a system to deal with it and still win every game.
"Carter was not going to be a great team, so (resting the team in that game) was the plan Saturday morning," Payne said. "Most of the guys were out at the 20 minutes mark with us up 4-0."
Heading into the matchup with Oak Ridge, the Eagles were ready.
"We went into the game with confidence, (and) we started out really dominating in possession," Payne said.
The Eagles scored just 13 minutes into the game, when Grant Gourley's corner kick was headed right back out to him. Gourley volleyed the ball back into the crowd and teammate Kameron Grunenwald beat the keeper to the ball and whacked it into the net for a 1-0 lead.
"It was a nice goal," Payne said.
Play continued evenly for around seven minutes until an incredible thing took place.
Seymour's Fredrik Bergman — an exchange from Sweden — took a pass from teammate Connor Viars about 40 yards out and absolutely blasted it bast the Oak Ridge keeper.
"I've never seen a goal like that scored in high school," Payne said. "Fredrik gets the pass from Viars about 40 yards out, and it looks like we're still building possession. And Fredrik, out of nowhere, just rips it on a rope to the upper 90, top-left corner of the goal. Everyone just stood there stunned."
Seymour played conservatively the second half, though their coach didn't necessarily want that.
"I think the guys just naturally said, 'let's just protect the lead,'" Payne said. "We ended up in sort of a defensive formation and kind of let them have the ball.
"They scored on cross with eight minutes to go, and we just kind of held on."
But that was enough.
"It's definitely in the top two to three wins we've had since I've been here," Payne said. "Definitely the best non-district win for sure, no question about that, with the quality of their team and the history of their program. Seymour's brand new playing at that level."
With the win, the Eagles knew heading into Sunday another victory would clinch the tournament title for old SHS.
"Going into Sunday we knew we just had to win that one game to be champions," the coach said.
And that's what the Eagles did.
Seymour got goals from Jake McBrayer and Bergman (two) in a comfortable 3-1 win over Lenoir City.
"We've treated this tournament as a stepping stone and a measuring stick as well," Payne said. "We weren't going in trying to win the tournament, that's not how you
but we were trying to win every game.
"(The Wednesday leading in) we talked, and we looked at who we were playing and said our goal was to win every game.
"You don't want to get carried away, because we didn't play D-B and didn't have the toughest path of all the teams in the tournament, but it's still cool to be recognized in that fashion."
The Eagles next big step is a Thursday night game against Sevier County in Sevierville.

Lamb Manor Estate and two-story guest house with 3 units totals out to a whopping 8880 square feet. Out buildings also include a 4-car Carriage House, guest laundry, and 5 bay storage building. Seven bedrooms, 6.5 baths and 5 kitchens. Interesting that all the furnishings are included with the sale of the estate.
Lamb Manor Circa 1910 has undergone a significant $1.9 million dollar restoration.
It's sits secluded in a private island type location in South Tampa Bay, Florida with a bridge to cross to enter. Start traveling down a winding path with palm trees, waterfall, and walking trails and then you enter Lamb Manor.
When I win the lottery you might find me in a place like Lamb Manor floating my days away in warm and sunny Florida.
Here's a 4 minute video tour of the house to enjoy set to some Victorian era music to complement your experience like a movie.
I wonder who lives or lived in this special retreat and is now selling their dream for someone else to enjoy?

Evidence-Based Medicine
Planning for the ED of the Future
by Bob Fitzgerald, MD
It's the middle of a typical hellacious Saturday night shift and your next patient is a 90-year-old gentleman who lives at home with his wife and who fell walking to the bathroom. He has a large scalp laceration, is pleasantly demented, but is becoming more agitated and combative. His wife is "too frail" to come to the ED and the only history you have is a bag with 14 pill bottles in it. Your social worker is long gone, you're two hours behind on seeing patients, and you look at the full tracking screen and note three more octogenarians with the same chief complaint: weak and dizzy. You soldier on . . .
I work in Sun City, Arizona, where over half my patients are over 70 years. I tell colleagues around the country that I work in "The ED of the Future." Every shift, I see firsthand the complexities and difficulties of this patient population. Quite frankly, I could not get through a shift without the support of our ED social worker, clinical pharmacist and MLP's and the outpatient care options available here.
THE AGING OF THE POPULATION78 million baby boomers will become eligible for Medicare starting in 2011 at the rate of 10,000/day. This will undoubtedly create a huge increase in healthcare demand. ED's will play a pivotal role because they are the critical interface between outpatient services and inpatient care and have a significant effect on resource utilization.
For emergency medicine to be prepared for this essential role, we must:
(1) Recognize the magnitude of the impact of geriatrics on our practices;
(2) Understand the medical and financial imperatives to change our paradigm of care;
(3) Create a new model of geriatric ED practice.
IMPACT OF GERIATRICSIn 2000, 38 million Americans were over age 65. By 2030, this figure will grow to 75 million elderly, with the fastest growth in the "oldest old" (>75 years), who will require more services just when the numbers of doctors choosing primary care are falling dramatically.
Managing the elderly in the outpatient setting is problematic at best because of the limitations imposed by cognition, mobility, transportation, and the limited availability of subspecialists. Hospital-based EDs, with their "one-stop shopping," become an attractive alternative, especially with abrupt changes in clinical status. And, of course, on weekends, holidays and after hours, we are always the venue of choice. Geriatric ED utilization rates have already been rising – from 12% to 16% of all ED visits from 1993-2003 – a trend which will undoubtedly increase in the future. Conservative estimates see geriatrics as 25% of all ED visits by 2025, and many believe that 30% is closer to the truth.
CHANGING THE PARADIGM OF CAREThe present model of ED care is designed to best serve acutely ill and injured patients requiring rapid interventions and treatments. This paradigm is ill-suited for the typical geriatric patient who has multiple co-morbidities and medications and presents with enigmatic complaints that evolve over a long period of time. There are both medical and financial imperatives to change our model.
Compared with younger severity-matched cohorts, geriatric patients have poorer clinical outcomes. A lack of geriatric-specific training and clinical exposure coupled with limited research and evidence-based protocols compounded by atypical presentations often lead to delayed/missed diagnoses (AMI, sepsis, appendicitis), unsuspected diagnoses (delirium, depression, elder abuse, polypharmacy), undertreatment (PCI in AMI, inadequate pain management) and overtreatment (frequent bladder catheterization, overuse of sedative/hypnotics).
Most importantly, geriatric patients demand the one thing we are least able to give: TIME. Especially in a busy ED, our present model limits our ability to accurately understand their medical needs because of the pressures to move patients through the system quickly. As one nurse colleague succinctly summarized, "It takes me 20 minutes just to undress them, get an accurate med list and a clean UA."
The financial imperatives of tightening Medicare reimbursements will dramatically affect ED practices in the near future. Falling revenues will further strain physician-patient ratios and limit availability of subspecialists to support our practices. But the financial impact will extend far beyond the walls of the ED. Because we are the biggest Medicare admitters (57% nationally), the consequences of our clinical decisions go directly to the hospital's bottom line. Twenty-three of the 25 most common DRG's have a negative cost recovery, and most studies indicate hospitals lose between 15-20% on each Medicare patient. Unfortunately, the future doesn't look much brighter. The Budget Reconciliation Act of 2005 mandates total reimbursement limits regardless of demand. Following these guidelines, the 2009 Federal Budget proposal includes a $15 billion reduction in hospital payments over the next five years. President Obama has publicly stated he will make controlling Medicare costs a "central part" of his deficit reduction plan. And the scope and related demands and costs of a possible new national healthcare system, also an Obama priority, remain a complete unknown.
What will be the effect of these financial realities on our geriatric EM practices? There will be increasing pressures for EDs to act as more stringent gatekeepers for Medicare admissions – especially for those with vague medical complaints. The era of low thresholds for admissions will be a thing of the past. EDs will be expected to do more extensive evaluations, observe patients longer, seek more consultations, and explore outpatient alternatives. In this new gatekeeper role, EDs will become de facto observation units to prevent avoidable hospitalizations. Clinically, I feel this is the right approach. Hospitals can be dangerous places for elderly patients who do not absolutely need inpatient care.
A NEW MODEL FOR ED GERIATRIC CAREThere has to be a man-on-the-moon-this-decade urgency to change the paradigm of geriatric emergency medicine that will require commitment and a great deal of focused effort. We must begin the process by defining the key elements of this new model: infrastructure, integration and an implementation strategy.
Infrastructure: The foundation of improvement rests on the dual pillars of education and clinical research. Until recently, there has been a deficit of geriatric-specific training in EM residencies. Fortunately, both ACEP and SAEM have been developing elements of a core curriculum to address this. Once developed, this core of knowledge needs to be disseminated to front line caregivers in much the same way as with pediatric and trauma standards of care. The second pillar of clinical research should include special emphasis on risk stratification, prevention, disposition, and outcomes and should include the community hospital setting. These two pillars should lead to at least three useful tools:
(1) Clinical protocols for acute ED care;
(2) Clinical pathways for more definitive treatment in both inpatient and outpatient settings; and
(3) Quality measures to assess our clinical practice.
Integration: Emergency physicians will need to use these pathways to guide the patient seamlessly through the system to the most appropriate clinical setting which may include a period of observation before disposition. On the inpatient side, the ED course should complement and expedite hospital care to minimize length of stay and maximize outcomes. On the outpatient side, the ED should be closely linked with all available resources pertinent to discharge, including the ability to communicate data on our care to those responsible for follow-up.
Implementation: Changes need to be made in ED staffing and design to operationalize this focused geriatric care. Since these patients demand more time and attention than the typical doc-nurse-tech model can give, a geriatric team concept needs to be developed that would ideally include a social worker/case manager and a midlevel provider, supplemented by a clinical pharmacist, OT/PT, pastoral care, etc., as needed. As is the case today, acute medical issues would be addressed by the core ED staff. The rest of the team will be needed to gather all relevant clinical information, address important but non-acute medical issues, explore all disposition options, and screen for other conditions that may affect outcomes.
New design concepts are needed to support this new model of care beginning with the recognition that previous bed number estimates should be revised to reflect increasing lengths of stay. Adjacencies for diagnostic studies and treatments need to be incorporated into overall hospital design as well as accommodations for increasing numbers of caregivers and consultants. Observation areas, either in the hospital or the ED, will be necessary to allow appropriate evaluations. Making our practices more geriatric friendly means addressing the bright, loud, chaotic, cold, uncomfortable environments seen in most departments today by providing quiet, private rooms with softer lighting schemes and pressure-resistant mattresses in close proximity to caregivers with adequate space for in-room visitors and family.
In twenty years most EDs will look like Sun City, at least to some extent. We need to be prepared to provide the best geriatric acute care without placing our hospitals in financial jeopardy.
Bob Fitzgerald, MD, has practiced emergency medicine for 33 years, 16 of which were spent as an ED Director.

This article has successfully outlined what the world of EM will be in the next few years. The author is very insightful, knowledgeable and has a great fund of knowledge in the world not only of Geriatric EM practices but EM practices overall. It contains practical, appropriate assessments. Thank you very much for this article. I am passing it along to all EM Directors I work with.
# Emergency Medicine at a Crossroads — 2009-02-26 13:34
Dr. Fitzgerald's article highlights the predominant challenge facing 21st Century Emergency Medicine. The baby-boomers represent a demographic tidal wave that has never been seen before. Unfortunately, they begin to arrive at a time when Medicare faces insolvency by 2015 and the economy struggles to recover while facing a $1.7 trillion deficit. Furthermore, a retiring physician workforce will further strain already insufficient primary care and geriatric specialist availability. Here's the good news: innovative physicians, nurses, and ancillary emergency health care providers are actively and increasingly providing viable solutions to the geriatric emergency care challenge including building older adult friendly EDs, incorporating geriatric competencies in education and quality indicators into practice standards. I hope EP Monthly readers will use this forum to identify creative solutions and innovative individuals. Stay tuned for the June 2009 issue of EP Monthly that will revolve around the theme "Aging America" with multiple stories about Emergency Medicine's response to the baby-boomer demographic tsunami we are all facing.

# Geriatric cultural and linguistic competency educational opportunity — 2009-02-26 15:30
Dr. Fitzgerald's article is a wonderful "call to arms" about the urgent need for a paradigm shift in how the ED will have to model patient care for geriatric patients. Not only will infrastructure, integration, and implementation be necessary, but a general understanding of how to communicate with older adults and their caregivers.
A wonderful opportunity for those in the NY and Mid-Atlantic region is availalble. The Consortium of New York Geriatric Education Centers and Mount Sinai School of Medicine present the CNYGEC Faculty Development Conference: Interdisciplina ry Geriatric and Cultural and Linguistic Competency on March 9th, Match 16th, and April 13th 2009. This course will be held at the James J. Peters VAMC at 130 W. Kingsbridge Road Bronx, NY.
This conference is targeted to interdisciplina ry academic and clinical faculty, fellows and residents. The course covers geriatric content, health literacy, cultural competence, healthcare disparities, patient-centere d care, and complementary and alternative medicines. Sessions are taught through demonstrations, self-study, small- and large-group sessions. CME credits are awarded.
For information, please contact Jennifer Griffith at email@example.com.
Th posted comment is not an attempt to advertise for the organizations holding this conference, but instead to highlight that opportunities exist for EM physicians to improve their ability and comfort level in providing care for older adults.
# Education and Research Needed to Solve the Crisis — 2009-02-26 17:22
Practice change is not easy. We have to first learn and understand the right thing to do, then demonstrate to others that it works. Only with these two factors in hand will doctors and hospitals change operations and protocols.
Emergency Medicine Residencies will soon formally implement geriatric competencies into the curricula.
On Tuesday, February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act giving the National Institutes of Health (NIH) an unpresidented $10.4 billion for use over 2009 and 2010. We need to lobby the NIH and especially the National Institute of Aging for research into emergency care of elders. If used correctly, these two factors will go a long way to resolving the crisis.
# NY Times Story — 2009-04-02 14:24
Timely NEJM-based NY Times story today http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/02/health/02hospital.html?_r=2&ref=health
discussing Medicare patient 1-month re-admission rates following hospital discharge (1 in 5)with 1 in 3 re-admitted at 90-days. Look at your hospital's census today and project the numbers 10-years forward when octogenarians have nearly doubled in number and 20% are being re-admitted every month. How will your hospital respond? Has your institutions began their planning process for these increasing numbers? Creative solutions like the Hospital-at-Hom e (Bruce Leff @ Hopkins) are desperately needed.
