The present invention relates to a system for monitoring persons under care, such as patients with Alzheimer's and related dementia, as well as those suffering from a range of other medical conditions, disorders and diseases (e.g. severe clinical depression, schizophrenia, childhood autism, brain injury, attention deficit disorder (ADD) and conditions such as recovery from hip replacement surgery), and in particular, tracking their movements relative to certain predetermined locations and hazards.
Monitoring systems for tracking or controlling the movement of persons such as children, patients and prisoners are known.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,751,214 granted to Cowley et al. on May 12, 1998 describes a device for monitoring the movement of a patient. Multiple sensors are used to monitor the patient's movement and these provide signals to a unit capable of activating an alarm to indicate the movement of the patient beyond a prescribed limit or to indicate other conditions. Information received from the sensors are stored and then transferred to a remote computer for evaluating a patient's care. A disadvantage of Cowley et al. is that their device is designed to restrict the patient's movement.
Another example is U.S. Pat. No. 6,054,928 granted to Lemelson et al. on Apr. 25, 2000. Lemelson et al. teach a system wherein data relating to a prisoner is obtained by a sensor/processor unit worn by the prisoner to track the location of the prisoner and to monitor physical conditions of the prisoner. The sensor/processor unit communicates with a control center via radio links or through "home base" via a telephone link. A control center has an associated data storage and is used to collect the data and compare it with authorized activities and to learn about the behavior of the prisoner.
Lemelson et al. use GPS technology which can be more expensive than wireless radio signal technology. In addition, Lemelson et al. use a "hard wired" transmission process and cannot function as a wireless system. The technology of Lemelson et al. seeks to restrict and contain the prisoner.
In both Lemelson et al. Cowley et al. the controls are not in place for benefit of the clients, patients and prisoners. Instead, the controls are in place for administrators caregivers, guards and institutions.
These examples of prior art are also limited in overall capacity. Specifically, they cannot collect and analyze data in a manner that will measurably impact upon and advance prevention strategies, mitigate harm, and facilitate the identification of behavioral and medical treatment interventions for diseases such as Alzheimer's and related dementia.
By contrast, the present invention focuses on positive enabling reinforcers; enables the collection and analysis of data and information of a nature and scope never previously available; and enables researchers to systematically identify and assess unique approaches, interventions and treatments both behavioral and medical to prevent or mitigate the effects of selected degenerative disorders and diseases. Being able to anticipate both adaptive and non-adaptive behaviors and patterns of behaviors among such patients could potentially lead to improved treatment interventions, better overall patient management and enhancement in the quality of patients' lives,
Alzheimer's disease was first discovered and described by a German psychiatrist (Aldis Alzheimer) around the beginning of the 19th century. Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative disease of the brain characterized by progressive loss of mental and physical faculties. Some progress has been made in our ability to detect and diagnose Alzheimer's disease but progress has been minimal.
In the mid-1960s the only way to confirm absolutely that a patient was afflicted with Alzheimer's disease was to dissect the patient's brain after death. Nearly forty years later autopsy is still the only way to confirm the diagnosis. There is no cure in sight and medications which show real promise are unlikely to be available for widespread use and distribution until approximately 2007.
In the United States alone, it is believed there are now 4,000,000 people with Alzheimer's disease. The incidence of the disease is on the increase and it is estimated that in the United States there will be approximately 14,000,000 or more men and women with Alzheimer's disease before the middle of this century. This is a potentially catastrophic world wide problem. Unfortunately, it will be further exacerbated by markedly increased life expectancy, primarily attributable to advances in medical science.
Scientists and medical practitioners are working hard to find potential solutions through medical research and experimentation with medication. Data, derived or collected through clinical observation and the use of available technology, are urgently required to provide insights into the factors and variables which impact upon or determine differential rates of degeneration and progression of this deadly disease.
The present invention will facilitate the easy and systematic collection and analysis of massive amounts of objective and verifiable data. Such data are likely to reveal knowledge about Alzheimer's disease and related dementia and their concomitants. Additionally, the invention will help to safeguard the lives of people with Alzheimer's disease by preventing or substantially diminishing accidents, injuries and death in all institutional and private home settings where the invention is used.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to overcome or mitigate the limitations present in conventional monitoring systems. It is another object of the present invention to collect objective data about patients' movements, behavior and patterns of behavior. A further object is to use this data to allow researchers to discover unique interventions and treatments which will enhance the quality of patients' lives, diminish stress among families and potentially reduce the cost of institutional and private home care. A still further object is to safeguard the lives of patients and to prevent accidents.
The present invention thus seeks not only to identify signs and signals of degeneration but also to diminish controls and improve patients' functioning. A result is that patients can be more effectively monitored on a day-to-day basis.
Accordingly, the invention provides a system for monitoring a person under care comprising: a transmitter worn by the person for emitting an identification signal; one or more detectors placed at or near a hazard or at or near a location to be monitored, the detector or detectors being capable of detecting the distance of the person from a detector and transmitting such information; and, in the case of a detector at or near a hazard, determining that an incident has occurred when the person's distance from the detector falls below a predetermined threshold and then transmitting information about the incident a receiving unit for receiving the information transmitted by the detector or detectors; and database means for accumulating and amalgamating information received by the receiving unit.
The term "person under care" is intended to include patients suffering from a medical condition, such as dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, clinical depression or schizophrenia as well as other persons requiring care or monitoring such as a child, mentally challenged person, elderly or infirm person or a behaviorally challenged person. Typical hazards near which the detectors may be placed include an appliance, machine, vehicle, staircase, or swimming pool. Other locations which can be monitored include a doorway, window, gate, home office, or a border of a property.
It is anticipated that the data accumulated in the database by many patients will, over time, accelerate and enhance the collection and analysis of potentially vital data. Such information may be useful in: conducting clinical trials; improving prescribing practices; monitoring the impact of medication; facilitating observations of side effects; determining more effective dosages of medication; and assisting caregivers in making informed decisions about the best and safest locations for patients. The data may also be used to develop or discover theoretical models, standards and characteristic features of various stages of degenerative disorders. There is currently a need to facilitate the discovery and development of unique programs, strategies and treatments for patients afflicted with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.
Ultimately such advances may reduce cost for care and long-term management of patients with such disorders and reduce the high levels of stress and depression among patients with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
Advantages of the present invention include the ability to track patterns of movement of persons, such as patients; establish norms (related to movement, wandering and levels of agitation) for persons and patients of different ages, genders and other related variables; and substantially improve the accuracy and understanding of direct observations of patients' behaviors. The present invention will permit the systematic collection, compilation and analysis of data and information about movements, wandering behaviors and other patterns of behavior among patients with such diseases and disorders.
Embodiments of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 9 is an example of the path of movement of a patient along the hallway of FIG. 6.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 5, according to a first embodiment of the present invention, a system includes a transmitter worn by a patient for emitting a patient information signal. The patient information signal includes an identifier unique to the patient. The transmitter, according to the present embodiment, is a radio frequency identification device (RFID) and is installed in an electronic monitoring tag 1 worn by the patient which, in this embodiment, is contained in a bracelet 2 somewhat analogous in appearance to a wristwatch. The electronic monitoring tag 1 contains internally thereof a controller, transmitter, antenna and a power source. Optionally, the tag includes means for monitoring the heart rate of the patient.
Thus, in most instances, the electronic monitoring tag 1 will be worn and displayed by the patient or client in the form of an arm band, broach, or as a watch-type bracelet 2 which is capable of performing all of the necessary functions of the transmitter. In situations where the patient resists wearing any of the above-noted devices, the tag can be disguised as a belt-buckle, shoe insert, or other similar device, or sewn or otherwise fixed in a clothing item, if desired in a concealed manner. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the electronic monitoring tag 1 is in the form of a bracelet 2; however, any number of devices can be employed and this should therefore not be taken in a limiting sense.
The bracelet may be regarded as a personal identification unit, which emits a burst of RF energy. Recorded within these bursts of energy are coded pieces of information that remain constant in the strength of their signal, as well as in the format of the information that they contain. The transmitter is a fixed frequency on/off keyed transmitter block that is driven on by the controller. The output radio frequency power of the device should be, but is not limited to −15 dBm�dB at a frequency of 418 MHZ�0.05 MHZ, although other frequencies such as phase modulation (PM), Amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and Pulse position modulation may be used, as well as various combinations of modulation techniques, or other modulations.
Inside the bracelet there is a micro-controller that controls the function of the personal identification unit. It controls memory in which the transmission data is stored. The micro-controller itself could consist of microprocessor, logic array, logic devices, a state machine or other devices.
The transmitter/micro-controller are part of an incorporated circuit board that has a loop antenna attached as well. The type of antennae used will be determined by the configuration of the systems settings, and will be readily determined by those skilled in the art.
The electronic monitoring tag is also provided with means to detect removal from the patient whether by accident or intentionally. This is accomplished as follows. The electronic monitoring tag (or any personal identification unit) is powered with a battery which provides power to a continuity circuit which is incorporated in the system to allow for removal of the tag to be signalled in a variety of manners. Upon removal of the tag the continuity circuit is opened. This open circuit causes a signal to be transmitted in order to indicate the removal of the tag from the patient. Immediately upon removal of the tag, this will set off an audible alarm or an electronic signal. The decision as to whether the audible alarm or the electronic signal is used may be determined by the venue in which the patient is located. In other words, an audible alarm would normally suffice in a home environment because the alarm will be easily heard. For an institutional setting however, the electronic signal would probably be preferable since the size of the facility will likely limit the audible alarm from being effective. However, depending upon the configuration of the patient's living space and supervisory arrangements, a combination of both types of signalling is possible and may be preferred.
The patient, in this discussion, is assumed to be suffering from a degenerative condition, such as Alzheimer's disease, characterized by dementia. The patient is also assumed to be in a supervised environment such as in a hospital or a supervised home setting.
As shown in FIG. 2, located within the supervised environment are detectors 3, 4, 5 and 6. Each detector contains a receiver demodulator, distance power measurement circuit, phase error measurement circuit, controller, receiving antenna and a power supply.
The detectors 3 to 6 are placed at strategic locations such as doorways, stairways and exits; and proximal or juxtaposed to hazards such as stoves and automobiles accessible to the patient. For example, referring to FIGS. 2A to 2D, the detectors 3, 4, 5, 6 can be installed in multiple locations in order to provide adequate monitoring. FIG. 2A illustrates an example where a detector 3 having a directional antenna is installed on the roof 7 of a building 8 such as a house. FIG. 2B illustrates an example where the antenna of a detector 4 is placed below a ground surface 9. FIG. 2C illustrates an example where a directional antenna of a detector 5 is placed in a doorway. FIG. 2D illustrates an example where a directional detector 6 is placed in an automobile 10 to detect the presence of the patient.
The detector detects the proximity of the patient to the detector based on the strength of reception of the signal from the transmitter. As the patient approaches a detector, the strength of the signal received from the transmitter increases. Conversely, as the patient withdraws from a detector, the strength of the signal received by the detector decreases. In addition, the antenna used in the detector can be directional or rotating. If the detector is rotating then it can be used to determine the position and direction of movement of the patient as described below.
Thus, the antenna is the receiver of the system and picks up the bursts of RF energy and relays the signal to a receiver demodulator within the receiver itself. The selection of antenna will depend on various options/parameters pertinent to a given context. A variety of configurations for antenna maybe chosen, including loop antenna, directional antenna and switched antenna array. The suitability of antennae will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and can directly depend on operating frequency. Depending on the distance from the receiver the antennae could be outfitted with a repeater, or could be directly wired to the receiver.
Within the detector is a receiver demodulator which demodulates the energy signal received by the detectors (antenna), the demodulated signal is passed on to a power measurement circuit which will in turn determine the distance of the identification unit, i.e. the transmitter. The controller is then provided with the distance measurement between the antenna (detector), and the transmitter. The controller includes a numerous range of detection thresholds that are adjustable by the system installer to account for the installation of antennae in various locations throughout the containment area. Included within the receiver may be a microprocessor/controller with memory, transmitter block driven by the controller, notification device, relay switch multiple antennae for receiving and one for transmitting information over the Internet. The receiver transmitter translates the RF signal, the patient location, how far they are from a hazard, whether the hazard is electronic in nature. If the incident is at an electrical/electronic appliance and the threshold has been exceeded, the controller may activate a relay switch, which deactivates the electrical appliance. Once all the information is processed in real time it may be sent via wireless communication to the Medical Organizer.
The information gathered by the detectors is transmitted to a controller for processing. Information received by the controller includes the patient's identifier, an identifier for the detector (such as a serial number), the received signal strength, and heart rate. In addition, if a more refined tracking is required, rotating detectors can be used to provide the information necessary to allow the controller to determine the patient's exact location, direction of movement and rate of movement.
Referring to FIG. 8, a rotating antenna detecting a signal will receive that signal at different strengths as the antenna rotates. Assume that at the beginning of rotation the transmitter is not directly in the "line of sight" of the antenna. Then the strength of the signal So is relatively weak when the angle of rotation is q1. As the antenna rotates toward the location of the transmitter, the signal received increases in strength to a maximum Sm which occurs when the antenna is oriented toward the transmitter at angle qm. The system also notes the time t of this measurement. Then as the antenna continues to rotate to angle q2, a subsequent signal received will have strength S2, which is less than Sm.
In this way, by tracking the angle of rotation of the antenna and the strength of the signal, the position of the transmitter relative to the antenna can be determined. In particular, in the above example, the position of the patient is, using polar coordinates, (Sm, qm). Of course, the strength of the signal Sm does not represent a physical distance but it is possible to convert signal strength to distance once the system has been calibrated.
The present embodiment, however, prefers to use triangulation to determine a more accurate reading of the patients position as described below. When the detectors are mounted on the wall, for example, to determine movement, the detectors rotate in order to triangulate the movement of the patient Referring to FIG. 9, assume that at time t, a first detector determines the patient's location to be (Sm, qm) relative to the first detector; and a second detector determines the patients location to be (T′m, r′m) relative to the second detector.
Assuming that the distance between the two detectors is known and that the detectors are mounted in fixed positions then the patient's location is easily determined by using linear algebra. Of course, these polar coordinates values can easily be converted to Cartesian coordinates if desired.
Using triangulation, the patient's location can be known to a high degree of accuracy. In addition, the patient's rate of movement and direction of movement can easily be determined as well. For example, if we know that at time t the patient is at location L and that at time t′ the patient is at location L′, it is trivial to deduce the patient's speed and direction of movement
The patient's movements thus determined may provide many valuable clues about the patient's state of mind. Patterns of behaviour and the incidents in which they are involved reflect critical variables and characteristics such as mood, heightened apprehension or overt panic, as well as periods of calm and relaxation. For example, rapid movement by an afflicted patient signifies a probable state of agitation. An increased heart rate would confirm a state of agitation.
The information processed and compiled by the controller is sent wirelessly to a medical organizer. This medical organizer is a computerized device used by the caregiver to interface with the monitoring system. A suitably configured general purpose computer could be used, but it is preferred that, as shown in FIG. 4, the medical organizer be a compact handheld unit 11 with a screen 12 and control buttons 13 similar to a personal digital assistant (PDA) which is carried by the caregiver.
The information processed and compiled by the controller can be sent continually to the medical organizer thus providing a complete record of the patient's location, movements, heart rate and other information.
There is, however, another important aspect of the invention relating to event (incident) driven signals sent to the medical organizer. An incident occurs when the patient is too close to a hazard or a monitored location. More specifically, an incident occurs when the distance between the transmitter and the detector at the location of a hazard to be monitored falls below a predetermined threshold.
Upon determining that an incident has occurred, the controller transmits information to the medical organizer to record the incident. In addition to the information discussed above, the controller also transmits a signal to activate an alarm to alert the caregiver of the occurrence of an incident.
Upon receipt of a signal indicating the occurrence of an incident, the medical organizer records the details of the incident and alerts the caregiver. The means of alerting the caregiver can be any conventional means including an audio alarm or signal; a visual signal; or activating a pager carried by the caregiver. The medical organizer is also provided with a display screen to display information about the incident such as time of day; location of incident; nature of incident etc.
Upon being alerted, the caregiver can learn about the situation by consulting the display screen and can take suitable action. Since the detector is activated before the patient has reached the hazard or location in question, the caregiver is given advanced warning and thus has an opportunity to intervene by approaching the location of the event and trying to prevent the occurrence of an accident, injury or elopement. For example, if the patient approaches the front door of the house to leave, the caregiver is alerted while the patient is still in the house so that the caregiver can intercept the patient.
Following resolution of the incident, the caregiver is systematically guided by prompts on screen to enter critical observations relating to the incident. On-screen features also provide fields in which the caregiver can enter personal observations and can comment on the incident. This aspect of the system thus captures valuable observations made by caregivers and helps them to perceive themselves as a critical part of treatment.
An important feature of the system is that when a detector is located at a hazard such as an appliance, vehicle or other machine, the detector may be connected to a circuit breaker which will disable operation of the machine when the patient gets too dose to the machine. The system is designed so that the patient is able to move as freely as possible and it may not be necessary to severely restrict patient's movement since certain hazardous situations can be detected and the hazard neutralized by the system or caregiver before harm can come to the patient.
The following examples are provided for purposes of illustration of the inventive concepts, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims
1. Automobile Disabling System
As a specific example, an automobile accessible to the patient or other person requiring care may be provided with a detector. The detector could be a basic proximity detector but is preferably one which is configured so that it only detects the presence of the patient in the driver's seat. Thus, shielding could be provided so that a patient could sit in a passenger seat without activating the detector, thus enabling the patient to ride as a passenger without disabling the vehicle.
The detector and a corresponding controller could be connected to the automobile so these units are only activated upon starting the ignition of the automobile. This is to conserve energy and avoid draining power from the automobile, particularly, the automobile's battery. However, once the ignition is started, the detector is immediately actuated. It then operates to detect any suitable transmission within its intended field of coverage. Upon determination of the presence of the patient, i.e. the patient is in the vicinity of the driver's seat, the controller associated with the detector opens a circuit breaker and disables the ignition of the vehicle. Preferably the circuit breaker is configured to prevent power to the final phase of ignition, thus allowing the patient to operate, for example, the vehicle's entertainment system without allowing the patent to drive the vehicle.
2. Central Database via Internet
The information relating to the patient's location, movement, incidents, etc. received by the medical organizer is, in turn, transferred to a central database. Although this transfer could be accomplished in numerous ways, according to the present embodiment, the receiving unit transmits this information wirelessly via the internet on a routine basis to the central database.
The central database is designed to receive data transmitted via the internet by recognized sources such as institutions, patients or caregivers who have registered with the administrators of the central database and an associated website.
Accordingly, when a number of sources, each provided with a configuration of transmitters, detectors and receiving units for the detection and recording of incidents, contribute to the central database, the information accumulated in the central database becomes potentially more and more important for understanding, treating and possibly preventing dementia related disorders.
The information in the central database is accessible for retrieval via internet or other means, such as wireless means, by authorized users such as medical researchers and treating physicians. For example, the database may be available for ad hoc queries to authorized persons when they visit a website dedicated to research on Alzheimer's disease or related dementia. For more intensive analysis, it may be suitable to arrange direct access to the central database. For example a treating physician can access the central database to see data relating to a patient's progress as tracked by the system in the patient's supervised environment.
3. Monitoring of More Than One Patient
The system operates analogously to the above described system for a single patient, except that a plurality of patients are monitored by a single system. This may be the case, for example, in a hospital or other institutional setting.
In order to implement a multi-patient system, part of which is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3, a number of different transmission frequencies are used. The transmitter of each patient transmits using a different radio frequency. The antennae 14 of the detectors are capable of detecting all different frequencies but does so only one at a time. The software controlling each detector operates to ensure that the detector scans the different frequencies in turn and with sufficient rapidity that all patients are adequately tracked. This would not be difficult since the detector and controller are able to operate at speeds much faster than patients can move and the information about the position of each patient could, if desired, be refreshed several times each second. The refresh frequency (i.e. how many times the detector passes through, or scans, the zone) for monitoring movement may be determined according to the patients medical condition and could, for example be different for a person suffering from Alzheimer's compared to an autistic child. In other words, a suitable refreshment rate depends on the type of disorder being monitored as well as the age, agility and physical condition of the patient being monitored.
Software in the controller would be used to separately record the information received from each patient and track the movement, position and other information, as discussed above, for that patient The controller could also use the patient's identifier to confirm that the identity of the patient corresponds with the radio frequency assigned to that patient thereby preventing any possible confusion of data.
The speed of rotation of the antennae and the radio frequency that is being used are controlled by the software portion of the system. The receiver transmits to the software the following information: who is in the area, time of contact and measurements of where the phase error disappears (angle of rotation). It is from these numerical measurements that the movements of the receivers can be computed. Because the antennae 14 are mounted in fixed positions on walls 15, 16, 17 and 18 (see FIG. 6), the distances between antennae remain constant. The first measurement for the equation for triangulation is the length of one side. The next measurement comes from the angle of rotation of the antenna (e.g. phase error disappears at 47 degrees). This gives the second measurement for triangulation, as the antennae move in sequential order. More angles of rotation are fed through the software allowing for the triangulation equation to be computed for movement.
4. Patient Monitoring System
This example of the system uses the same transmission portion. Where it varies is in the way it detects and calculates the position/location of the wearer of the transmitter.
This embodiment of the system uses phase error in determining the position of the transmitter. The detection system is a motor-mounted switched array antenna that measures phase error to determine the location of the transmission.
A bow tie array or similar antenna (also collects identification data) rotates at a given speed. The antenna is connected to the receiver through a diode-switching network. What occurs at this point is that an oscillator switches between the two wings of the antenna at about 1 KHz. When one wing of the antenna is slightly farther from the transmitter than the other, there is a phase error between the two received signals. This phase error disappears when the antenna wings are the same distance from the transmitter. At this given point the antenna array is at right angles to the direction of the transmitter.
The antennae are mounted at fixed positions on the walls, each systematically positioned for maximum triangulation effect. As the antennae rotate they do so at varying rates of speed for maximum triangulation effect. All the above mentioned calculations will be determined on individual basis, depending on location, room size, number of patients, etc.
As the antennae rotates, the angle of rotation is measured, as well they begin to measure phase error. When the phase error disappears on one antenna, that constitutes a first measurement for the angle of rotation for calculating movement. As the other antennae pass through the field of detection more measurements for triangulation are acquired. As the individual under surveillance moves, the transmitter moves with them thus creating a movement pattern into readable electronic data. The receiver remains the same and only transfers one additional piece of information, the angle where the phase error disappeared. This establishes the triangulation points.

"I saw him [Johnson] a lot at practice," says McKinney. "He kept saying, 'Go to Mizzou!'"
Someone else who may be getting "Go to Mizzou" whispered in his ear is McKinney's former backcourt mate at Vashon, hotly recruited five-foot-nine junior point guard Dwayne Polk, with whom Mizzou's prize frosh talks frequently.
Snyder considers Johnson -- who set up a meeting between the coach and twenty or so of the city's high-school hoop powerbrokers at the dawn of Snyder's tenure -- to have been absolutely critical in easing longstanding tensions between the university and the city of St. Louis.
"There had been some athletes that had gone to Missouri and had not felt like it was a great experience, for whatever reason," recalls Snyder. "There wasn't a comfort level. This is the state school, two hours away, so to have that animosity exist is a serious problem."
Even after this meeting, landing McKinney was hardly an in-and-out deal. This is, after all, the Show-Me State, where actions speak louder than words. To this end, Snyder credits his top assistant, Harvey, with cultivating relationships for the long term rather than the wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am.
"You just got a sense that there wasn't a connection there," says Snyder. "Getting a player is really a short-term view. Jimmy did come, but it took years of recruiting, just spending time with Coach Irons. There's a level of trust that first was established. Jimmy is, to me, a trailblazer."
Whereas Mizzou can sit back and pluck talent from a national watchtower, deftly playing the inner-city hand has always been life-and-death for SLU, as Grawer's one-strike- you're-out tenure proved.
"When Snyder loses someone, he can just replace him," explains Grawer. "SLU doesn't get blue-chippers, and when they get a chance at a Larry Hughes, they have to take him."
McKinney says SLU was his second choice. But, at the end of the day, Conference USA just wasn't the Big Twelve. However, conference strength isn't the only issue. For every kid like Hughes who stays home for college, there's at least one other who just wants to get the fuck out of Dodge, as evidenced by the mid-'90s Ritter trio -- Jahidi White, Carrawell and Loren Woods -- who split for Georgetown, Duke and Wake Forest, respectively. Factor in a uniquely challenging Jesuit curriculum and a comparatively pedestrian-looking campus, and SLU's coaches face a somewhat daunting task.
"St. Louis University is not the easiest school to recruit for," says Stipanovich. "I've been to Duke, North Carolina -- when you step on one of those campuses, it's overwhelming as a young kid coming out of high school."
Grawer is more blunt about SLU's challenges, pointing to the loss of Upchurch as the school's penultimate casualty.
"SLU's campus is 1,000 percent better than when I was there," he says. "It's still a hard place to recruit to. At SLU, you had to take twelve to fourteen hours of philosophy and theology. No PE programs at SLU, so those hours didn't transfer for a junior-college kid.... We lost Craig Upchurch [because of academics]. He was more talented than Bonner. They made him go to summer school; then SLU said he couldn't go. Him and his mom in my office -- we were literally crying."
Coming off a trip to the NCAAs, the Bills would have had a better than even shot at playing on their home court in the Sweet Sixteen had Hughes stuck around for his sophomore season. McKinney readily admits that the momentum generated by a second Hughes campaign might have compelled him to attend his hometown school.
Steiner sees a domino effect.
"Absolutely it would have made a difference," says Steiner of the impact a Hughes sophomore season might have had. "If a kid signs, he wants a chance to go to the tournament. Once you get one or two of those top 50 players, you're gonna get one or two more."
Hughes' coach at SLU, Charlie Spoonhour, never questioned his decision to turn pro.
"In Larry's case, it was a no-brainer," says Spoonhour, now head coach at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. "Once you become a lottery pick and the money's there, taking a chance on injury is just foolish."
So why did the likes of Olajuwon stick around for more than one year back in the day, Spoon?
"The climate was different then," he says. "Now, if you're a senior, there're question marks about you."
In fact, it's gotten to the point where some coaches are whispering that it's almost better to eschew blue-chip talent in favor of second-tier players who are more likely to stick around for three or four years.
"I think the Missouri Valley Conference is great," says Spoonhour. "It's a league with a lot of seniors. You have a lot of really good teams because you have guys who stay for four years."
Billiken assistant coach Anthony Beane, who steadfastly maintains that he'll always go after the best player available, acknowledges that the approach has a downside these days.
"A negative thing about recruiting great players is that they're gonna leave early," he says.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, author and business coach Dave Crenshaw teaches you to get the most from your meetings—turning them into productive avenues for communicating, connecting, and accomplishing real work. The course demonstrates a simple, usable framework that will help you lead and participate in meetings large and small and provides insight into how to schedule, conduct, and follow up on meetings with minimum time and maximum results.
This course qualifies for 1.25 Category A professional development units (PDUs) through lynda.com, PMI Registered Education Provider #4101.
Often, when I train people about one-to-one meetings, they ask me, "What's the agenda, what should we cover?" We've provided a simple agenda for you that you can download from this course's information page. You may notice some similarities to the group meeting agenda, yet there are important differences. I'll give you a brief walkthrough of the agenda right now, so you can see how it fits together, and then I'll cover each aspect of the agenda in greater depth in separate videos. First, begin your meeting on time.
Second, follow up on action items that you committed to in the previous meeting. Next, the leader will teach a brief development, about 3 to 5 minutes. No matter who you're meeting with, this is a great opportunity for you to help that person learn and grow. I'll give you guidance on how to prepare for and teach this. The fourth step in the agenda is where you give them an opportunity to ask you for their needs. You'll ask them "what do you need from me?" and you'll listen patiently and give them the opportunity to ask as many questions as they want to ask.
This will remove many of the quick questions that are taking place throughout your week that are causing you both to be less productive. The fifth step is that you'll then have an opportunity to ask them questions and make requests. This includes delegating items to them. Then you'll review the commitments you made to each other during the meeting by asking the question, "What's the next step for each of us?" And then finally, end the meeting on time or early. This simple agenda will become the framework for every one-to-one meeting that you have.
It's very effective because of its simplicity and because it allows each person a significant amount of time to be heard. It will ensure that these meetings are highly productive by helping you both follow through on your commitments.

One day when Vols catcher Ethan Bennett reflects on his career, he may remember his fondest moment happening before a game even started at Tennessee.
Earlier this year, Farragut junior Emma Bennett sang the Star-Spangled Banner before a basketball game. The home fans went crazy.
"I was nervous," said her mom Wendy Bennett.
Why the nerves? Emma has Down Syndrome.
"She finished and I saw her face light up," Wendy continued. " I burst into tears. It was an emotional moment for me."
Emma's national anthem rendition was great the first time. She found a way to top it by singing at big brother Ethan's game at Lindsey Nelson Stadium shortly thereafter.
"It was a dream come true," said Emma. "Everyone was so happy for me."
"Just having her out there to sing was great," said Ethan. "Especially standing beside her and hearing her confidence, it was just awesome."
"Ethan's the greatest brother in the world to me. He's so caring and kind," said Emma
"Emma's always been special to me. Growing up with her she's kinda molded the person I've become," said Ethan.

A NEW CENTURYAt the start of this new century, the title and duties of Street Superintendent were added to the position of City Marshal. When not enforcing laws, Marshal Steadman saw to it that Anaheim Streets were repaired, signs were placed where needed and that the cleanliness of the city was maintained. With a move towards adding sidewalks throughout the city, the acquisition of deeds and construction of the walkways were also now a large part of Steadman's job.
The 1900s brought a new problem for Anaheim's law enforcement officers... cars. Speeding automobiles were frightening both horses and people alike. Local ordinances were passed by the Board of Trustees, but were to no avail. Speed limits were ignored, and the terror of the horse-less carriage prevailed. In 1909, a new tool was conceived to aid in the control of the problem. Steadman was instructed to deputize one or two local motorcycle riders to follow speeders and keep a record of their rate of speed throughout the city. Drivers who disregarded the right of the common people and the laws of the land were then required to pay a fine for their reckless behavior, which was then given to the motorcycle deputies.
In 1903, Frank Steadman made a recommendation to the Trustees that the city jail be moved to the southwest corner of a city owned lot. Working on earlier recommendations of the Grand Jury, Steadman wanted to provide additional space for the housing of prisoners and wanted sanitary facilities built into the cells in order to eliminate the need of escorting prisoners outside when nature called. As a cost saving alternative, Steadman suggested that there would be no need for steel cells because few prisoners would be incarcerated for more that a few hours. The Trustees agreed to relocate the jail, but, for security reasons, they chose to have cells constructed of the more expensive steel material. The jail was eventually built but did not evade the continued criticism of the Grand Jury. A report filed the same year by the Grand Jury noted, "It is useless to have a jail that any prisoner with a crooked nail can pick the lock and get out. There is no reason that because a man is unfortunate or a criminal he should be detained in a place that no Christian man would tie up a yellow dog in."
The year 1906 brought on another job for the new Marshal and his officers. The City of Anaheim formed a new Fire Department, appointing Marshal Nevada Frank Steadman as the new Fire Chief of the 21 member Fire Department, an honor he held along with his position of Marshal beyond 1908.
Steadman's popularity slowly began to deteriorate. A local saloon owner Andrew Fuhrberg filed a $50,000 lawsuit against the Marshal in 1908. While attempting to close down saloons, which were delinquent in paying their city fees, Marshal Steadman made an allegation that Fuhrberg ran the worst saloon in town. Steadman added that not only were men killed with the saloon's inferior liquor, but that Furhberg allowed gambling in his institution and that the saloon keeper had stolen money from his patrons.
Fuhrberg denied the allegations and filed the suit for the slanderous statements. The outcome of the case is unknown. After serving 18 years as the City Marshal. Nevada Frank Steadman lost the election of 1910 by a mere 24 votes. Upon leaving his office, Frank Steadman moved to Oregon to try his hand at ranching.

- Blue Bloods—Melissa de la Cruz. Some people have everything—money, status, fancy NYC digs…and a vampire bloodline? This is what would happen if Twilight met Gossip Girl and had a sparkling, scandalous child.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Before Edward, there was Angel. A brooding, tormented vampire in love with a high school girl. But Sunnydale, California is no Forks—it's built over a hellmouth, which means all sorts of evil beasties are drawn to the town. Fortunately, Sunnydale is the home of Buffy, the one and only Slayer.
- The House of Night series–P. C. Cast. This series, starting with Marked, takes place in a prep school for vampires. When Zoey finds out that a friend is abusing her powers, what can she do to stop her?
- iDrakula–Bekka Black. Jonathan Harker has a rare blood disease, and it's up to him, along with his girlfriend Mina and a medical student called Van Helsing, to figure out what it is. Sound familiar? It should–it's an update of the classic vampire novel, Bram Stoker's Dracula.
- The Vampire Diaries–L. J. Smith. Two vampire brothers fall in love with high-school senior Elena. How far will they go to be the one she chooses? (Also a TV series.)

Terminal patients to the front of the queue
Usually when I go back and play a game from my childhood, it's nothing like I remembered. The vast forests of The Legend of Zelda and the hordes of zombies from the original Resident Evil don't really match up to what my young mind imagined them to be.
But there's always an exception to the rule.
In this case, it's Bullfrog's Theme Hospital. Theme Hospital pretty much everything I remembered when I played it at age ten in 1997, off-beat British humor included. It's easy to play, incredibly hard to master, and very unforgiving. As a hospital director, you run a quirky hospital full of faux diseases and managerial woes. You hire nurses, doctors, receptionists, and handymen with a wide array of personality disorders and demands. You fend off VIPs from touring your hospital, fight epidemics, and handle emergencies with aplomb. You worry about machinees breaking down, researching new cures, and sweeping the tiled corridors–all the while keeping the fiscal year and its deplorable budget in your head.

COLONIE - A volunteer firefighter is under arrest; accused of stealing equipment from the fire department he's supposed to be helping.
Police say 39-year-old James Turley stole seven helmets, a fire jacket, and a pair of fire pants, a pair of gloves, a fire mask and a harness rescue system from the Shaker Road Loudonville Fire Department.
Police were tipped off by another firefighter who heard that the items were being sold at the X-change Cash and Trade on Central Avenue.
According to police, Turley claimed to be from another station that is closing.
Turley is now charged with grand larceny.
Police say most of the gear was already sold.

However, when it comes to attention to detail, there is a lot these rock and roll legends can teach us about Managed Staffing Programs (MSP).Read More

In 3ds Max 2011 Essential Training, author Aaron F. Ross demonstrates how to use this top-tier application for digital content creation, widely used in diverse industries such as architecture, industrial design, motion pictures, games and virtual worlds. This course covers modeling with polygons, curves, and subdivision surfaces, defining surface properties with materials and maps, setting up cameras and lights, animating objects, and final output rendering. Exercise files accompany the course.
So far we've looked at manipulating camera position using a sort of third-person method. In other words, I can select a camera or target in a different view, like the Top or Perspective View, and manipulate that in one view while observing the results in another. But I can also manipulate the camera in a sort of first-person mode, and there are a couple of ways of doing that. One would be to use the middle mouse button. I can just select this camera Viewport and use the middle mouse, and that will let me track left to right, or pedestal up and down.
And you'll notice in this case that both the camera, and its target are moving. So if you look in the Perspective View here, you will see both the camera and the target are moving up and down or side-to-side. So that's just using the middle mouse button. You can also use the Viewport controls to position the camera, and the Viewport controls for a camera view are slightly different than for Perspective View. So let's take a look at those. If we go down here to our Viewport navigation controls, you'll see the Orbit Tool is available there, and I can use that Orbit Tool to make the camera orbit or arc rotate around its target.
And ironically, the keyboard shortcuts don't work inside a camera view. The only one that works is the middle mouse button. So if you try to orbit using the Ctrl+ Alt or Alt+Middle mouse button, it doesn't work in a camera Viewport. Likewise with dollying, if I want to move the camera forward and back, I need to use the icon. So I'll click on this Dolly icon here, and I can move forward and back. You'll notice in the Top View that the default behavior is to move the camera but not move the target.
So the camera is dollying forward and back, but the target is staying stationary. If I go forward too far, the camera is actually going to flip back around backwards. I will go back. There are a couple options here in the Viewport Navigation Controls. Any one of these icons, it has a little triangle in the lower right-hand corner, is actually a flyout and so I can hold that down, and I have got different options for the Dolly Tool. One of them is here. This will allow me to move the camera and the target at the same time so I don't have that problem of the camera flipping around backwards.
So this is Dolly Camera and the target at the same time, and I find that more useful. Finally, in camera operation, you want to pan the camera left and right, and that's rotating the camera while it stays in one position. So we don't change the position but only the rotation of the camera, and that's accomplished also through another button that's sort of hiding underneath the Orbit button.
So if I hold the Orbit button down, I have Pan Camera as one of those hidden icons. And for my money this really is much more useful than Orbit. So I am going to turn that on, and now I've got the ability to pan the camera. This is a much more traditional method of cinematography in which the camera is staying static, and it's rotating, and by the way, with the Pan Tool I can tilt as well.
So maybe more properly it should be called a Pan Tilt Tool. If you only want to pan or tilt in one axis, you can hold down the Shift key, and so as I'm holding down Shift now, I'm tilting, release the mouse, hold down Shift again, and I can pan while maintaining the same rotational angle for the tilt. So if you don't hold down Shift, you are doing pan/tilt at the same time. So those are our first-person controls for tracking pedestal, dolly, pan, and tilt.

Serious problem with agents on non-opscenterd-nodes, so where is the python source to fix and rebuild the Config.pyc for the community edition. I found no src downloads, and it is not included with the community opscenter 1.4.1 download.
All I really need is for the 61620 port interface to be accessible from other than localhost.
lsof -i |grep 61620 returns 'localhost:61620′ and should be '*:61620′… any help?
Tried to just set opscenter/conf/opscenterd.conf:
interface = 192.168.XX.XX
to override the compiled setting, as the external interface rather than the one embedded in Config.pyc (interface=127.0.0.1).
Can we at least set our own configuration in Config.py --> or must it be compiled by Datastax?

For a generation of Newark, N.J. students, every education decision, including choices on curriculum, spending and superintendent, has been made by state officials in Trenton.
That level of state involvement has made the 39,000-student district an attractive laboratory for Gov., a Republican seen as a national leader on education reform, and for prominent donors, including Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, who have pledged $148 million to remake this city's failing schools.
But the influx of money, and the attendant national spotlight, has galvanized a growing movement of parents, educators and elected officials who want the schools returned to local control 16 years after they were taken over amid low test scores, crumbling buildings and charges of mismanagement.
These critics say that the state has unilaterally imposed a controversial agenda — replacing principals, opening new schools, placinginside district buildings — dreamed up by outsiders and consultants who do not understand the needs of their children, and that there is not enough opportunity for input by parents and community-based advocates.

David FosterDavid Foster is the ultimate Hit Man. Producer, songwriter, TV host, discoverer of talent, noted author, hit maker and record company executive – and an artist whose influence in some of the biggest names in the music business is without precedent. He's the man with a magic touch. He has been an integral part of the biggest and best talents in the music industry including Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Chicago, Michael Bublé, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Josh Groban, Earth Wind & Fire, N'Sync, Andrea Bocelli, The Corrs, Natalie Cole, Kenny Loggins, Kenny Rogers, Chaka Khan, The Tubes, All 4 One, Michael Bolton, Brandy and many more.
In between writing and producing a stunning number of hits throughout the last four decades, the 16-time Grammy winner and three-time Oscar nominee returns with what may be his greatest role yet as maestro of ceremonies for the now legendary Foster & Friends franchise – concerts, DVDs, CDs and PBS Great Performances Specials. The most recent "Hit Man Returns: David Foster and Friends" PBS Special was filmed at The Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. "Hit Man" shows Foster shining in his role as ringmaster bringing together a staggering line-up of talent. With performances by Seal, Donna Summer, Martina McBride, Charice, Earth Wind & Fire, Michael Bolton, Jackie Evancho, Chaka Khan and more. The first David Foster & Friends Hit Man Great Performance show became the highest rated pledge show of the decade and was viewed by millions of fans in unprecedented numbers. A household name throughout Asia, David tours the region annually to sold-out arenas. "I finally got out of the studio after all this time," reveals Foster…But luckily not for good. In between Foster & Friends, he continues to produce some of the great voices of our time including recent stints with Michael Bublé, Seal, Andrea Bocelli, Jackie Evancho, Whitney Houston and "Glee" artist Charice.
David Foster entered the music business in 1973 as a member of Skylark and scored his first top ten hit "Wildflower." The rest of the decade included Foster accompanying musical icons Neil Sedaka, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Paul Anka, Diana Ross, George Harrison, Dolly Parton, Sonny & Cher and Rod Stewart. In the late 70's, he ventured into writing and producing and worked on some of the classics of that era including Earth, Wind & Fire's "After the Love Has Gone" for which he was awarded his first Grammy, Cheryl Lynn's "Got To Be Real" and produced albums for Hall & Oates, Alice Cooper and Deniece Williams.
In the 1980's, he produced and wrote a line-up of No. 1 singles including Chicago's "Hard To Say I'm Sorry," Peter Cetera's "The Glory of Love," and John Parr's "Man in Motion" (St. Elmo's Fire) along with Chicago's "16", "17" and "18" albums. He also produced songs on multi-platinum soundtracks including "Ghostbusters," "Urban Cowboy," "Footloose," "St. Elmo's Fire" and the top selling cast album for the Broadway hit "Dreamgirls." Other production and songwriting credits in the 80's include hits for Al Jarreau, Dionne Warwick, Neil Diamond, The Tubes, Lee Ritenour, Barbra Streisand, Peter Allen, DeBarge, Anne Murray, Jennifer Holliday, Paul Anka, Chaka Khan, Kenny Rogers, Kenny Loggins, Boz Scaggs and Olivia Newton-John. He also accompanied and arranged top hits for Michael Jackson, Patti Austin & James Ingram, Michael McDonald & Patti Labelle and scored Grammys for his work with Chicago, "Dreamgirls" and Barbra Streisand.
With barely a moment's rest, Foster went on to produce top hits for Celine Dion's "The Power of Love," "Because You Loved Me" and "All By Myself," Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable," Brandy's "Have You Ever," All 4 One's "I Swear," Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart," Madonna's "You'll See," Michael Jackson's "Earth Song," Barbra Streisand's duet with Bryan Adams "I Finally Found Someone" and "Music of My Heart" by Gloria Estefan with N'Sync. He also produced Streisand's "Back to Broadway" album, Michael Bolton's "Timeless (The Classics)," Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," "I Have Nothing" and "Run To You" for "The Bodyguard" soundtrack. He created 143 Records in partnership with Warner Bros./Reprise and began recruiting an impressive roster of talent including Irish singing group The Corrs who sold 30 million records worldwide and received Grammy nods for his work with Natalie Cole, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.
Moving on to the 21st century, Foster discovered, signed and produced Josh Groban whose CDs have sold well over 20 million copies. He also discovered, signed and produced Canadian singing sensation and Grammy winner Michael Bublé who has sold over 30 million CDs worldwide. In 2007, Josh Groban's Foster-produced holiday CD "Noel" sold over 3.7 million copies and became the biggest selling CD of that year. Foster also produced Andrea Bocelli's "Amore" and "Under the Desert Sky" DVD/CD and Renee Olstead's debut CD of standards which sold 400,000 copies. He produced and co-wrote the Golden Globe winning song "The Prayer" for Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, "Come What May" for Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor on the "Moulin Rouge" Soundtrack and Celine Dion's multi-platinum smash "Miracle."
In 2009, Foster won a Grammy for his work with Michael Bublé and produced Seal's 2009 global smash of R&B standards "Soul." In 2010, he discovered, signed and executive produced YouTube singing sensation Charice's debut CD. In 2011 he produced Jackie Evancho's first full length studio album "Dream with Me" which topped the US Billboard charts making her an instant house-hold name. He then went on to produce and host her mega hit PBS special. In the end of 2011, David Foster had produced Michael Buble's 2011 massively successful Christmas album which became one of the biggest selling albums of the year and one of the best-selling Christmas albums of all time.
Foster is currently writing a Broadway musical about "Betty Boop."
As of December 2012, David Foster had been appointed as the Chairman of Universal's Verve Music Group. David recently produced Rod Stewarts Christmas album, and Andrea Bocelli's next studio album."

Things I liked:This is the BEST, bar none triger that money can buy
Things I would have changed:Make sure the secondary triger adjustment screw is very tight to turn and will not change, due to vibration. Leave the forward triger pre travel as is from the factory. Maybe lightly touch the side of it with medium locktight.
What others should know:This triger is so good that You can get it below a lb. When doing so, make sure that a hard shock to the gun will not cause a accidental discharge of the gun
