In this free training program from the Firefighters Support Foundation, Eric Stroud of Fire and Rescue Concepts, LLC discusses firefighter self-survival and issuing the Mayday on the fireground.
[BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] The way Mayday has changed in how it's been looked at over the past 20 years. Twenty years ago, if a firefighter called Mayday, he would be considered a wuss among his crew. Now, in today's environment, we have a responsibility as firefighters to stay safe and to go home everyday. So if you're in an environment that you need to call a Mayday, and you do not call the Mayday, you're being irresponsible to yourself, to your crew and to your family. The purpose of this course is to show you an awareness level training of calling a Mayday. What we plan to do in this course is to go over a few key points, why you call Mayday, when do you call Mayday, who is to call Mayday, and what your responsibilities are. We're also going to go over some key points of what to do and how to train and prepare for a Mayday. But, keep in mind, this is awareness level training, and you need to take this further after this course is complete. One of the most important rules to live by when calling a Mayday is. Never be afraid to call a Mayday. It's better to call it and then to find out when you really did need it, than actually wait too long to call it, then you're already in a position where you can't get help. Remember, you have a duty and responsibility to your crew. The life you save could be your very own life by calling a Mayday. Our ultimate goal is to go home every day, every night to our friends and family and our loved ones. The bottom line here is, never be afraid to call a May Day when you need it. Now we're going to look at who can call the May Day. obviously, the firefighter in trail can call the May Day. But we have a whole list of people on the fire grounds that can call the May Day. And have responsibility to call the May Day. To answer the commander as well, he's gonna point a safety officer to oversee the whole safety operation [UNKNOWN]. Then you have your commander of your crew that's with you as well, or team member of that particular crew can't call the Mayday. And anyone else on the program whether is a pop operator or whether is a higher man that sees the situation where it deems necessary to call a Mayday. Why call a Mayday? Studies have shown one of the major leading causes of fire ground fatalities, are firefighters or team members or company commanders who become lost and disoriented. How do you become lost and disoriented? From the moment you step away from your hose line, the moment you step away from your rope,. The moment you lose track of your crew, and you cannot see your exit in front of you, you are lost. The next point we're gonna look at are out of air emergencies. There are two reasons why we may have an out of air emergency. The first reason may be due to SCBA malfunction that you may lose your air supply immediately. The second reason is firefighters stay inside too long and they run out of air. We are trained as firefighters when we enter the structure, to pay attention to our regulator and to our gauges of our air supply to let us know how long that we need to stay in. We're also told as firefighters that when we reach a air supply of half a tank. That we exit the structure immediately. Now many firefighters will ignore the warnings of their low pressure alarm going off. The whole purpose of the low pressure alarm is to let fire fighters know that they are in their reserve air supply and that they need to be finding their way out. Now in this presentation we're going to be talking about more about. Staying inside too long, pushing the envelope of during and air emergency. Now remember, when your low pressure alarm has been activated, you are either on your way out already or you need to try to find your way out. At this point, if you are not on your way out when your low pressure alarm's going off. You need to think about start calling a mayday, and having somebody on the way to meet you on your way out, in case you run out of air while you're trying to exit the structure. Next point's a building collapse. Whether it be inside the structure, or outside the structure. You know, we have building collapses all the time in fire fighting The [UNKNOWN] has to be inside. Fighting fire and the building can come down around them That is a point to call a Mayday or the IC or the safety officer from the outside sees that part of the building collapse. Or is getting ready to collapse he can pull the crew out by calling a Mayday and call the crew to come out. Some thing with the event crew on top of the roof. If they're working on top of the roof an event. Starts to give way and the roof starts to give way and it starts to have a collapse, they and they are in trouble, they can call a Mayday, to have more additional resources to help them out as well. Now after a building collapse, many a firefighter's become trapped. Often many times firefighter's thinks they can get themselves out of the situation, whether by moving themselves, or moving the debris around them. But mem, remember, don't hesitate to call a may day we can always send people inside to come help you out if needed. The next point we're gonna look at is deterioration of the fire conditions, both inside and outside the structure. Now outside the structure, the fire crew on the inside may not see what's going on and they may not be aware of fire wrapping around behind them or wrapping around over their head into a dangerous condition. The IC, the safety officer, or anybody else on the fire ground can call a Mayday or emergency situation to get the crew out. Now inside of the structure, it could be that deteriorations have, the fire has deteriorated so rapidly that it may cause the firefighter to back out of the situation, or get lost or trapped, or get away from their hose line, and then cannot escape quickly. Now, after many times. Fire fighting is definetly hard and stressful in our bodies. Now, they may not be a reason of, somebody be a [UNKNOWN] oriented or at their mercy, that may actually ditacte the [UNKNOWN] situation. It could be class fire fighter both inside and outside the structure due to unforseen medical condition at that time. If that happens, please don't hesitate to call a may day to let IC or the safety officer, or even communications know that you have an emergency on the fire ground and that you need help immediately. Next, we're going to look at fear of calling a may day. Even in today's society, firefighters still fear calling a may day. And we're gonna look at this points individually. While fire fighter may be afraid to call mayday. Our next point is retribution. Sometimes fire fighters feel retribution because their poor decision allow them to get into a mayday situation. So they don't wanna call mayday, because they don't wanna be punish. It's better to be punish and get home at night than not to be punish and not go home at all. Often firefighters fear calling a may day because they fear ridicule from their supervisors and their crew. Everybody needs to attend may day training so that ridicule does not happen but don't allow yourself not to call a may day because you fear being ridiculed. Now remember, just like before, it's better to come home to your crew and be ridiculed than to not come home at all and not be ridiculed. Forget retribution, forget being ridiculed. Make the decision, call the Mayday, and go home. Another fear of calling a Mayday is because firefighters, often, are over confident. With over confident becomes pride and denial. If you're at a point where you are trying to decide that you can get out of a situation and that you are telling yourself, that you can get out of this. It's already too late. You need to call in the Mayday. Forget being prideful, forget being over confident, and get out of the situation that you're in. Another reason why firefighters fear calling a Mayday is because lack of training. They're not exposed to it, they don't understand the terminology. ICs don't understand the responsibilities. And they really don't have a clear picture fo what goes on a Mayday training scenario or a may day training scenario or a may day situation on a fire ground. After this presentation you should be aware of what a may day is and allow yourself to train on it more in depth so that you do not fear calling may day. Next we want look at what happens after you call the Mayday. Here we're gonna look at the firefighter. What is the firefighter's responsibility after he calls a Mayday. One of the first things that you need to do when you're calling a Mayday is remember the acronym LUNAR. When we look at the acronym LUNAR, we're gonna break it down by each letter of the word. First we wanna start with l, l is the location when you calling a may day give the location or your best description of where you think that you are inside the structure. Whether it be division c, d corner, c-a corner, in a hallway, or just first floor, second floor, or in the basement. Try your best to remember and get a bearing of your area and let command know your location. Now its gonna look at the letter U. U stands for unit. After you give your location, you need to give the command your unit assignment. Your unit assignment is going to let command know a better idea of what location in that building you are assigned to. Next, we want to look at the letter N. N stands for your name. Once you give your location and your unit, also give your name. For example, firefighter John Doe. That will allow the fire ground operations, whether it be the IC Safety officer or commander, your location, better understanding of it, and your possible assignment at that given time before the mayday was called. Next you're going to look at the letter A. A stands for air supply. Whether it be yourself, your partner or your crew. When you're calling a Mayday, make sure you update the status of your air supply to command. Next we're going to look at the letter R. R stands for resources. When you're letting command know of your status and your situation. Try to give him a better understanding of what type of resources that you may need. Whether it be an extra S E B A word, an extra wrist pack, hose line whatever the situation may deem necessary for what type of equipment that you may need. Now the acronym LUNAR does not cover why you're calling the Mayday. So be sure to remember, when you're giving your descriptions of everything, to let the IC know why you're calling a Mayday. Now we're gonna look at the incident commander after the may day is called. What do you do as the incident commander when your hear a may day, meaning a call for help? One of the first things you need to do is remember your departments SOGs. The SOGs are Standard Operating Guidelines. If you do not have an SOG for mayday procedure, you need to sit down with your staff and develop a mayday procedure for your SOGs. When the IC hears a mayday, he needs to ensure that all traffic not associated with a mayday needs to be squished over to a different channel. By doing that, it will allow less confusion, and allow clear communication between the IC. And the person call for help. That may seem obvious, but you would be surprised how many communications are where somebody calls a Mayday, everybody tries to talk all at once. The red team is trying to communicate. The person who called a Mayday is trying to communicate. IC is trying to communicate. Everybody's got something to say. But the one person needing help can not get their point across and can not get their radio traffic out and to open air. Once all radio traffic has been established and has been switched over to a different channel. The IC needs to call a par. PAR stands for a personal accountability report. By doing this he can get a better location where all the crews are. And see who's accounted for, and who's not accounted for at that time. Now remember every fairground operation a personnel accountability report needs to be given roughly about every 15 to 20 minutes so that way everybody ensures the safety in the locations of their crews, now remember, after the [UNKNOWN] has been given, the IC must maintain radio control. One thing you do not want during a mayday is freelance radio traffic. By having freelance radio traffic may hinder the ability of the rescue team and the IC to locate the downed firefighter. Now when the IC is maintaining radio control and radio discipline. When the Mayday's been called, be sure that the IC gives enough time for the down firefighter to answer his questions on the radio. By doing this, this will alleviate or the problems that people have in radio communications. So many times in the past, the IC has talked to the down firefighter and not given him enough time to answer questions. By keying up the radio, or being overly excited when that time is given. Give the firefighter enough time to speak his needs. Now during a Mayday, the IC needs to remember to stay calm on the radio. By doing this, this sets the tone for everybody else that can hear him over radio traffic. It'll allow the firefighters and allow everybody else to work at a nice smooth pace and not get overly excited. Remember don't let the problem rattle you, remember your training and stay calm on the radio to have a positive outcome. Now once the medic has been called and once the IC has the last known location or the current location of the downed firefighter. That is when his decision is to deploy the rapid intervention team is applied. By doing so, it allows the team to quickly get to the location of the downed firefighter and to have a successful extrication of the downed firefighter. Now after your RIT team has been deployed, go ahead and call for additional resources. Call for additional alarms, call for more companies to come to the ground, fireground, but also, you'll have the amount of people there that you need. It's better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them. Now after medics have been called, you as a firefighter, the biggest thing that you can do to help yourself is to stay calm. Work your problem. Don't let the problem work you, and also try to remem, remember any relevant training that you've had in the past. Now after you've made contact with the IC, you may decide to use a self rescue technique to get yourself out of the situation if immediate rescue is unavailable. But if you use a self-rescue technique, you may want to coordinate this with the IC. So, they do not see any resources. And after one area of the structure. When you may actually be in another area of the structure trying to escape. Now we're going to look at the techniques of rescue operations. During a Mayday. You've got two options as a downed firefighter. You either wait for help, wait for the red team, or to apply self rescue techniques to get yourself out on your own. If you and your crew has decided to wait for help, be sure you try to get yourself into a safe location. Out of harm's way, and relayed that location to the ICM. Try to let them know, give them a best, accurate picture of where you're at inside of the structure. Once that has happened, the second thing you need to do is to activate your pass device. By activating your pass device, it's gonna create a loud sound to allow other firefighters inside of the structure. Or the [INAUDIBLE] coming to assist you to find you in your location. Thirdly what you can do is take your flashlight turn your flashlight on have the beam facing towards the ceiling. And put it up against the wall by doing this it will create a silhouette of light through the smoke. To allow fire fighters potentially be able to find you. Now, flashlights. You can actually get different types of manufacturers for flashlights. Some flashlights have a regular straight beam. Some flashlights have a flashing beam. Now, I found out that the flashing beam flashlights will actually attract attention greater by having the flashlight pointed up and having that beam flash intermittently versus just one solid beam. Now next. Now hopefully you, you or your crew has some type of hand tools inside with you. By you can use your hand tools to create sound by banging on the floor or banging on the wall to allow firefighters to get a better location or better understanding of where you're at inside the structure so they may be able to come and find you. Now lastly, you wanna be sure to conserve your air supply. If you're gonna wait for a team to come and find you, there's no given time how long it's gonna take 'em to come and get you. So you want to do some type of breathin' techniques to allow yourself to maintain the current air supply, whether it be shallow breaths or skip breathing. Now be sure to always to remember to maintain a radio contact with the IC. Give em updates and status location of your air supply and possibly injures of your team members involved. Until someone is there to find you. Now we're gonna look at rescuing yourself of your team. Now you and your team may not be able to shelter in place and wait for a red team. So we're gonna look at some techniques that may allow you to be able to escape due to the deterioration of the fire conditions inside, collapsing of the building or an out air emergency that may require you to immediately evacuate the structure. now when you've decided to recuse yourself and your team, the first thing you need to do is that you need to be escape that environment that you're in. And the best way to prepare for it is to train for it. And we'll talk about the training for an escape here in just a few more slides. Now secondly, when preparing yourself for rescue, self rescue a may day situation, you need to familiarize yourself with the tools that you may need. Whether it be your air pack, your buddy breathing hose or red pack that you may carry, already have with you, your hand tools that you may have, and the capabilities of what those were designed to do, and also. Search rope and rescue filters s well. Now, you may have these tools on your truck, or on your equipment cash right now. But, what you need to do, is take these tools and train with them for potential may day scenarios. So that you may have a better understanding how each tool can help you during a may day. Next we're going to look at some examples or why you may need to rescue yourself out of a Mayday situation. First off is hot air emergency. If you run out of air or find yourself running out of air the one thing your could use is use a buddy breathing hose to give yourself some more air. You can use your partner's buddy breathing hose off his air pack, if he has one, hook it to your regulator, and allow yourself to share his air supply. But by doing so, you greatly risk both you now running out of air instead of just one person. Next we're gonna look at another tool that you can use in out of air emergency, our rescue filter. These filters are designed to be worn on the waist strap of your airbag and to have it protected so when you need it all you have to do is pop open the case and take the wrapper and hook it to where your face piece, where your regular would be and the filters are designed to give you fifteen minutes of filtered air in a split field environment. Now, another potential environment that make cause you to [UNKNOWN] your scape in a various situation, is if a fire fighter is trapped in an unknown room. Now, you can use your hand tools or your SCBA to help you out in these situation. Now, if you find yourself in a room that you're lost and you can find your way out, and you have [UNKNOWN] that are coming down to you. You may need to breach the wall to escape to another room, but also you can take the [UNKNOWN] take your bottle, open the wall up in between the studs, all your hand tools, allow yourself to escape to safety, now another rescue technique that you can use for yourself or your team is called a ladder bailout. Or have an outside crew place the tip of the ladder at the window seal that allows you an area to escape on an elevated floor. You can go head first out to the ladder and grab yourself onto the rungs and use your feet as brakes to allow yourself to escape a harmful environment or impending fire conditions in that area. Another tool that you can use. You've typically got one of these two next tools with you. Whether it be a hose line or a rope. Some search crews use a rope when they're actually going into a building to start searching for victims and or other firefighters as a means to escape and some type of emergency. Whether be a Mayday or some other situation that they need to get out. By retracing their steps with the rope. They can get themselves right out to the point of entry that they have. Secondly, do you have a hose line? Typically when an environment will cause you to escape, when you're on a hose line, a lot of firefighters would drop the hose line right where they're at, and they will do an about face and follow the hose line on the way out. Now there is a trick on the hose line that you can use. It's called [UNKNOWN] called a smooth bump, bump to the pump. By the female end of the hose is a smooth shank with a, a nutted coupling. On the male end of the hose, you have just a nutted coupling. If you feel yourself to the smooth shank first to the two nutted couplings, you are in the direction towards the pump. That is total direction of the way out of the house. If you find yourself in the reverse situation. Where you feel the nutty couplings first. And then the shank, then you're going to back yourself towards the fire. Now, another tool that firefighters use are road bail out kits. These are typically road bags and kits and safety control devices inside the bag. A bag that's very similar [SOUND] to this bag. It's designed to go on your waist belt or your harness that you may carry with you, and in times when you need to escape this environment and you don't have a ladder, you don't have a search rope, and you don't have a hose, you may find some type of anchor inside that room, hook up your rope bag to it. And descend out the window, and allow yourself to actually lower yourself down the windowsill into a safe environment, whether it be outside into a net, or into potentially one floor below you into another room. Now there are numerous manufacturers of these rope bail out kits, now this is definitely something that you need to be. Some type of training and use before you were to just buy some and put it on your rip, your scva so to speak. Some manufacturers won't even let you buy any unless you've gone to their specific training school for rope bail out procedures. During Mayday training the best way to prepare for Mayday is to train for it. Now remember, Murphy said it best, if it can happen, it will happen. You wanna prepare your mind, prepare your body, and prepare your gear for potential may day situations so you can have a successful outcome. Now preparing your mind is a key subject when you're dealing with may day training and to prepare for may day. Now mental fitness is the key to survival. Now if you allow yourself to be overcome with stress in stressful environment without even realizing you've allowed your body to increase it's respiration. You increase your respiration's. You use more oxygen, your using up your air supply and SBA. By training yourself to handle,. In yourself in a stressful environment. You can train your mind to be able to realize in this stressful times to so, you don't use so much O2. Now, in preparing your mind, when you look at this slide right here, you see two examples of how different types of training can prepare your mind in to allow yourself to become accustom to the type of stressful environments. That you may have. The more we experience stress in training, the less we are affected by it in a real situation. Next, we're gonna look at preparing the body. By staying physically fit, it can help us conserve our air supply. Our muscles depo, depend on oxygen for strength. The better in shape we are with our muscles, the less amount of O2 is needed. Next we're gonna look at preparing your gear. By allowing your crew and yourself to do daily, weekly, and monthly checks will help you ensure that your PTE is in proper, working condition. Something else you can do to help you prepare your gear and for yourself for Mayday situations. Is to train for equipment failure. And to also, to know your gear inside and out. to be able to disassemble and reassemble it in a hazardous environment and a dark filled environment. To where you actually cannot see the things that you're touching. Now, part of our initial training as firefighters. When we're starting out in fire service, we train to disassemble and reassemble our SCBA's. What typically tends to happen is, when a firefighter has some experience and some years on him, over time they get complacent and they fail to train and they fail to re-adequate themselves with the working parts of an SUVA. Now, looking back at, looking back on this training What you really to take away from this is that. This particular training that we're doing for you guys is awareness level training. You need to keep all training after this, don't let this be the only training that you have. The best way to help prepare for it is to train for it as often as possible. You know, review your SOGs. Review your equipment. You know, put yourself into training situations. You know, that may cause you to think outside of the box. To get yourself out of the harmful environment, you know. The best thing that you can do in a stressful environment is to stay calm. You know, stay calm and collected, work with your teammates, work with your crew. And get yourself out of a harmful environment. The, the ultimate goal at the end of this is to get everybody aware of Mayday. And get you adequated with calling the Mayday. You know, don't be afraid to call it. Don't be worried about what everybody is gonna think. When it comes right down to it this is your life, and you only get one chance at it. So the best thing that we wanted to do is just, just tell everybody just to stay safe, and remember your training, and to keep training. Don't let this. Stop here.

News Listing Page > People with early Alzheimer's disease may be more likely to have lower BMI
November 21, 2011
By KUMC News
Alzheimer's disease brain changes are associated with systemic metabolic changes in the very earliest phases of the disease, according to research by Jeffrey M. Burns, MD, co-director of the KU Alzheimer's Disease Center. Burns' study was published in the November 22, 2011, issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
The study found that in people with no memory or thinking problems and in people with mild cognitive impairment, those who had Alzheimer's biomarkers were also more likely to have a lower body mass index (BMI) than those who did not have the biomarkers.

New Resident Evil: Retribution Trailer Online
Zombie-squelching sequel gets a new promo.
The new trailer for Resident Evil: Retribution has premiered online, and promises more of the same from Paul WS Anderson's zombie-mulching franchise.
It starts off interestingly enough, with a glimpse into Alice's (Milla Jovovich) past, and introducing returning cast members including Michelle Rodriguez and Sienna Guillory. It appears to descend into CGI silliness, but there's nothing here to suggest it will be any better or worse than the rest of the series to date. There are plenty of beasties to enjoy, including some zombified fellows who look more than a little reminiscent of (the game) Resident Evil 5's antagonists. The movies do seem to have gotten away from the spirit of the early games in the series, taking on a distinctly un-Resi wire work aesthetic.
Fans of the previous films will be looking forward to the September 28th release, but it is a little difficult to imagine this trailer will win over many new converts.

AKWESASNE - The Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort donated $852,800 to the Hogansburg Akwesasne Volunteer Fire Department on Tuesday to cover the remaining costs of a new ladder truck.
Tower 94 is a 101-foot ladder truck built in 2013 and purchased by the department last December, with funds for the original purchase coming from a loan and grant by the United States Department of Agriculture totaling $974,070.
The fire department originally intended to pay for the truck in installments over a 20-year period.
Efforts to purchase a new ladder truck had been in progress since 2011 when construction began on the gaming and hotel expansion at the casino. The truck was considered essential to comprehensive protection of the area as the departments former truck, at 75 feet, could only reach the first five floors of the hotel.
The new Tower 94 can fully accommodate the seven-story hotel and will replace a 100-foot 1992 model ladder truck purchased by the Akwesasne Convenience Store Association in 2012 as a temporary replacement after the 75-foot truck suffered mechanical problems.
HAVFD is our communitys lifeline to emergency responsiveness and is founded on volunteerism. HAVFD also services calls through out the north country, so any addition to their fleet is beneficial to us all, Nicole Terrance of the casino said. As a tribal member and resident of the north country my entire life, I am proud to see our advancements in these areas.
The HAVFD has received more than $1.8 million in new equipment since 2012, including the replacement truck and 40 new air packs.

The Oct. 31 deadline is best known as the final day guards James Harden and Eric Maynor can sign contract extensions with the Thunder.
The Oct. 31 deadline is best known as the final day guards James Harden and Eric Maynor can sign contract extensions with the Thunder.
If that doesn't occur, Harden and Maynor will become restricted free agents on July 1, 2013. Restricted free agents are allowed to negotiate with other teams, but the player's current club can retain his rights by matching another team's offer.
Halloween also holds significance for center Cole Aldrich, guard Reggie Jackson and forward Lazar Hayward. That is the final day NBA teams can exercise their team option on players.
If a team opts not to pick up a player's option, that player will become an unrestricted free agent after the season. Unrestricted free agents are free to sign with any team, including the Thunder.
If OKC decides to pick up Aldrich's option, he would make $3.2 million next season. Jackson would make $1.3 million next season, and Hayward would make $2.1 million.
It's worth noting that because of the league's new collective bargaining agreement, more teams are not doing extensions and not exercising options due to more severe tax penalties.
Maynor was among several Thunder players that watched Tuesday night's broadcast of "Broke," an ESPN production as part of its "30 for 30" series. The 1 1/2 hour documentary interviewed several current and former athletes who have had significant problems with money.
Maynor said the messages in the film were critical for professional athletes in all sports.
"I think that was a good show for a lot of people (Tuesday) night, and I hope everybody was watching it," Maynor said.
"With all the money that guys get, not just in this league but in any sport, you got to be careful with the people around you. You got to be careful about how you take care of your money if you want to have some money after you play."
The league annually addresses potential financial pitfalls during the rookie transition program and at mandatory NBA meetings before the start of every season.

Opals and Bulleen Boomers star Rachel Jarry is the latest Australian to join the American WNBA, signing with the powerful Minnesota Lynx for the 2012-13 season.
Jarry, 21, has averaged 13.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists in her fifth WNBL season after impressing off the bench for Australia at the London Olympics.
She joins one of the WNBA's star clubs, with the Lynx winning the title in 2011,and finishing runners-up last year.
"We are looking forward to seeing Rachel in training camp this summer, said Lynx Executive Vice President Roger Griffith on the club website.
"Already a five-year veteran at 21, she has proven to be a difference maker in Australia and should be able to make an immediate impact in the WNBA.
"Rachel's list of accomplishments at such a young age in Australia is impressive: leading her WNBL team to a championship in 2010-11, being named to the WNBL All Star Five in 2011-12 and helping lead the Opals to a bronze medal last summer."
Jarry swells the Australian contingent in the WNBA that includes Jenna O'Hea at the Los Angeles Sparks, Penny Taylor at the Phoenix Mercury and Erin Phillips at the reigning WNBA champion Indiana Fever.
Selected at pick 18 of the 2011 WNBA Draft by the Atlanta Dream, Jarry was traded on draft day to the Minnesota Lynx.
Jarry has established herself as one of the premier players in the WNBL, winning All Star Five honours in 2012 and her continued good form for a struggling Bulleen team has earned her a call-up from Minnesota.
The 2013 WNBA season tips off on May 24.

This PTA Raises More Than Bake Sale Money: It Raises Consciousness for GLBT Students
Written by: Wesley Davidson
Photo credit: David Pokress | Laurie Scheinman, who has been nominated as co-chairwoman of the Long Island Gay Parent Teacher Student Association, with her daughter Rachael. (April 4, 2012)
The Parent Teacher's Association has always prided itself for not only reaching out to families in their district, but also with mainstream parents in mind. Recently, with stronger anti-bullying measures needed in schools, as well as the contribution of gays incorporated into the curriculum, the nation's first official gay PTA called Long Island Gay- Parent -Teacher Student- Association formed the week of April 23, 2012 in New York. source
They Saw A Need and Fulfilled It
The brainchild student, Rachel Scheinman, a senior at Portledge School in Locust Valley, New York and her mother, Laura Scheinman, 49, chartered a PTA that focuses on the interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students and their families. Rachel, who identifies herself as lesbian, says " there have been many instances where negative comments are said, and ignored for lack of a better strategy." Comments her mother of Sands Point, New York, "while many of our schools are tolerant, they don't have a system set up for any issues if they are to arise. The PTSA will kind of remove those barriers between parents and schools." Gay-Straight Alliances of students will work at school districts with parents, teachers and anyone interested in equality advocacy for LGBT students or those raised by same-sex couples.
The More The Merrier
"The more people who are involved in the education of children, the better" stated Maria Fletcher, president of the New York State PTA, based in Albany. You don't have to live in Garden City or even Long Island to join. Nor do you have to parent a gay child to be included. All you have to do is believe in the movement.
Although a similar parent-teacher-student group formed in 1999 in Seattle and later disbanded in 2004, the time is rife for a more inclusive effort such as Scheinman's to combat GLBT harassment in schools. I suspect that this model program will catch on this country and endure.

EU Releases All Data on GM Corn Linked to Cancer
Posted By Adan On January 14, 2013 @ 10:25 am In Medical Tyranny,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
January 14, 2013
The EU's food safety agency challenged its doubters on Monday, making available all the scientific information used to clear a genetically modified corn which a French researcher had linked to cancer.
The European Food Safety Authority said that "given the level of public interest … (it would) make all data on genetically modified (GM) maize NK603 publicly available on its website."
While EFSA had previously provided such information on request, "any member of the public or scientific community will now be able to examine and utilize the full data sets used in this risk assessment," it said in a statement.

Comments about Panasonic DMC-LS80K 8.1MP Digital Camera, Black:
This camera, although you have to replace the batteries instead of a recharging camera, is one of the best i've ever used. We use the rechargeable one for working fire investigations, and it's great even at night time. I bought a camera about 2 years ago for a whole lot more - and it doesn't do nearly as good a job as this one. Great Camera!! Just meant to buy the one with rechargeable batteries :(

Panel 10: Always try CTAN first
CTAN should always be your first port of call when looking for a software update or a feature you want to use. Please don't ask the network help resources until you have checked CTAN and the FAQ (§ 3.3.1).
Your support for our advertisers helps cover the cost of hosting, research, and maintenance of this document
Formatting information — An introduction to typesetting with LATEX
The Comprehensive TEX Archive Network (CTAN) is a repository of Web documents and files from HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers worldwide which contain copies of almost every piece of free software related to TEX and LATEX.
CTAN should always be your first port of call when looking for a software update or a feature you want to use. Please don't ask the network help resources until you have checked CTAN and the FAQ (§ 3.3.1).
CTAN is based on three main servers, and there are several online indexes available. There are complete TEX and LATEX systems for all platforms, utilities for text and graphics processing, conversion programs into and out of LATEX, printer drivers, extra typefaces, and (possibly the most important) the LATEX packages. The three main servers are:
TEX Users Group: http://www.ctan.org/
UK TEX Users Group: http://www.tex.ac.uk/
Deutschsprachige Anwendervereinigung TEX e.V. (DANTE, the German-speaking TEX Users Group); http://dante.ctan.org/
For example, there is no xcolor.dtx and xcolor.ins for the xcolor package because it forms part of the graphics bundle, which is installed on all LATEX systems anyway. Such packages change very rarely, as they form part of the core of LATEX and are very stable. You should never try to update these packages in isolation.
Almost all of these have been updated to work with LATEX2ε, so they should be installed as in the step 'Install the files'.
Note that this means newsreaders for the Usenet News (NNTP) service. It does not mean syndication readers for RSS, which are a different thing entirely — these are unfortunately also sometimes referred to as 'newsreaders'.

Wow, go to threadless right now and vote for one of the 331 T-Shirts from 2008, voting closes on the 19th and the $20,000 prize will be given on February 2nd, I can't wait to see who wins. BTW I would love it if they did some kind of lifetime achievement award as well to reward some of the pioneering designers that helped build threadless.
4 Responses to "Vote for Best T-Shirt of the Year from Threadless – Winner Gets $20,000"
cant wait to see the winner!
[...] there a Lifetime Achievement Award for t-shirt design? Who'd compete with Milton Glaser for that [...]
Great awards!
I think "Foam Monster In Emotional Reunion With Severed Limb" by Aled Lewis should win the big prize. He's a very talented designer and he made some awesome tees this year.
Personally I own 4 of the 20 finalists and I love them all!
That is a HUGE grand prize… wow.

I have a 12 x 12 room - I want to completely gut this room and make it into a functional studio. I'm lucky to have a five foot walk in closet for fabric storagel.
First thing is flooring - I would like to use either wood or tile - any comments pros or cons?
wood is beautiful - softer and warmer than tile. if i lived north, the warmth would be a plus. may need to be refinished more often.
if you are gonna do messy stuff - paint/discharge inside - the wood may not stand up as well.
the tile is harder, colder, easier to clean - with water/mopping. if i lived in a warm climate, the cool tile underfoot might feel better. but it is harder.
the tile might be a better surface if you plan on doing messy stuff inside. but if just sewing - no painting or discharge inside (they are better done outside anyways) then wood could be just as nice.
if you are gonna gut the room anyway - make sure you get plenty of good lighting.
My sewing room has a wood floor with a 5x8 carpet where the computer chair sits, bare wood under the sewing table - the easier to find dropped pins. The room that I paint and dye in has a painted wood floor that mops up quickly when I spill, which of course, I NEVER do.
We have tile in the kitchen, which is actually warmer than the linoleum blocks in the bathroom.
Make sure you have enough grounded outlets, this is an old house and we've put in a bit more than twice as many as were here.
I have one of those closets, too. Shelving makes it easier to order.
I have 18 x 18" ceramic tile and love it. I can sweep it clean, mop it (fat chance) and roll my chairs and other things around easily. I also live in the southwest so it looks great also. I love it.
I have laminate flooring. Looks like wood, easy to clean, wears well. I have a floor protector (from office supply shop) under my sewing machine able. Easy to find dropped pins, etc.
Personally, I love the wood floors in my studio. I feel like the natural warmth of the wood makes my studio more cozy. However, I have to agree that if you are working with paint or dye that laminate might be a good option.
My sewing/craft room is an upstairs re-purposed bedroom that is 10x10 with walk in closet. The messiest liquid task I do is water color painting, so that is not too much of an issue. The issue is--- the dog. The dog-- and money.
I went with the top level of Pergo laminate because it is meant to stand up to pets. So far the worst accident in this room regarding the floor-- was when a computer printer fell off a table and hit the floor. (Don't ask). The floor doesn't even look like anything happened to it. The installer estimated the job at 167 sq feet-- including having my nice mouldings removed and re-installed to rest on top of the 'floating' floor-- all materials/labor-- the whole shabang was $1200. I couldn't even imagine spending more then that. That was plenty luxury for me-- I do notice the darker shades of laminate look more authentic, or at least classier IMO.
I also had a four foot, four tube florescent light fixture installed on the ceiling. It's like someone peeled the roof off, I can see so much better. There is also a Blu Max light mounted to my main work area and a more stylish Ott floor lamp by the wing back chair and ottoman where I like to take a break and just admire my work or contemplate it over a cup of tea.
The last major thing I want to do on this room-- is install a door with a decorative glass panel in it. This way I can shut the room off, (keep dog from finding things to choke on, hide mess), without sacrificing daylight streaming through the window into room. In Washington State this can really be an issue as homes can become very cave like up here due to weather conditions.
Anyway, I hope my ideas helped stimulate some thoughts for you.
Bernina 820, Babylock Evolution, Babylock Embellisher, Babylock Audrey.
If you want a really unique floor to your studio you should check out page 25 of our latest (Summer, 2011) issue - there is a floor made up of brown bags!
You can find the issue here: http://www.interweavestore.com/Mixed-Media/Magazines/Studios-Summer-2011.html?SessionThemeID=16
Personally Im just glad to have a floor I dont fall thru out here but when I dream I dream big so here goes :) I once heard of some people that bought a old house and when they stripped out the old carpet they found a full house full of tiger oak floors, otherwise known as quarter sawn oak that was outlaw 100 years ago for using to much wood the wood was worth ten times what they paid for the house, Maybe they make something that would look like that but wear better and then nice area rugs under my chair and a plastic surface mat under the computer chair and sewing machine chair ,I would be in heaven with a room like that :) Whatever you chose make it what you would be the happiest in and your quilts will show it forever !
I really liked this floor idea - but wondered how it would hold up. The space I was considering this for (not actually my studio, but a family room) has an outside entrance to our home, so it would end up getting a lot of traffic. What do you think?

I am responding because I received an auto e-mail from Quilting Arts.....presumably this was a reply to mine??
If so-- in regard to Pergo or quality laminate flooring-- I can say this:
My sister has a high traffic den with glass slider to the back yard....and 5 dogs! Her laminate (which I think she got through Empire Carpets and Flooring), is holding up real nice!! It looks real good, the flooring people wouldn't sell her on a real wood floor due to the animals. It is easy to keep up, she keeps a rug at the back door, and is quik to take care of any spills, which really doesn't happen to much anyway.
My Pergo takes far less abuse...but I have been very happy with it. So far my one lone dachsund has not put a scratch in it. You'de never know a dog is ever on it. So for the cost factor-- it's a nice respectable flooring I think.

NFL 2013 Off-Season Discussion

Re: NFL 2013 Off-Season Discussion
Use of Time wrote:
All jokes aside, I really don't ever want to hear the phrase "the Patriot way" ever again. The media would have you believe that the Patriots are this model to be emulated of players that play the game unselfishly and play the game the "right way." Here is a list of those players from the last few years that make that phrase bullshit.
I'm sorry, but if you were trying to make a point, you failed miserably. Sure there were better examples, but you picked really poor ones to try and stay with the names people would recognize. Let's look:
1. Cory Dillon (Lots of problems elsewhere but kept his nose clean in NE for the most part)
So your example is...what? That he was a dink with the Bengals, but fine with New England? No problems I'm aware of there, and won a ring his first year. Worst example you could have picked, as he's the type of player they've been chasing since. Problem with other team, came to the Patriots and 'saw the light', model citizen in New England. Every reclamation project since has been trying to recapture that success.
2. Albert Haynesworth (Refused to get in playing shape)
Not really an example of a Patriot at all, was he? Played in what, a couple games max? And they cut him for being a lazy slob, which is kinda the opposite of your example.
3. Randy Moss (Productive for a while but ultimately was a clubhouse killer)
Again, what are you trying to show? Right up until his expiring contract made him a bit crazy/selfish, he was a model citizen here. Nothing I'm aware of for problems, and great on the field. Weird that you're actually listing some of the Pats' better redemption stories to try and damn them
4. Aaron Hernandez (Cut him after murder charges, no brainer)
Finally got one, although a bit obvious. While there's plenty of undesirable parts of his past that could have been a warning, that's true of a LOT of NFL players. If you're suggesting anyone should have known he'd murder someone...? Up until this shitshow, looked like he'd put some of that behind him, but more coming out now suggests that maybe not as behind him as we thought. Sad, especially given his talent. And even then, Pats cut him before convicted of anything, and without considering that it would have been better cap-wise to wait and fight the bonus money first, so even in the best example, there's still some of the principle you're telling us doesn't exist. Would have been just as easy to suspend him and let it play out, they cut him 90 minutes after he was arrested, and turned him away earlier in the week when he tried to show up and practice.
5. Tebow (Good clubhouse guy, hard worker, but still a huge media distraction)
Now you're just desperate and ran out of names/ideas. Even your example of why he shows how the Patriots Way doesn't exist just lists his good qualities
May suck as a QB, but pretty much the shining example of the rest. Also, since he's been on the team like 3 weeks and never played a game, pretty lazy to even mention him. Media distraction is a low bar, and even then, MUCH less of one than when he was on the Jets' roster.
They don't have these mythical saintly standards for their players. They are well coached and they have arguably the best QB to ever play the game leading their team. They will win consistently until Brady can't go anymore. If Bellicheck thought he could win with Michael Vick a few years ago he would have been making conjugal visits on a weekly basis. They love to make fun of teams like the Jets and Cowboys for being a media circus but then troll the world by signing Tebow.
No, they like to make fun of the Jets because they suck, are horribly coached and managed, and they run their fucking mouths about being the best, going to beat everyone, etc. while ass-fumbling their way to a middling record every year. If you do nothing but talk shit constantly, and can't back ANY of it up, not going to be thought of well. Their own fault, maybe just STFU until they actually accomplish something?
And yeah, Belichick hates the Jets, has some personal stakes there. And definitely seems to enjoy taking players the Jets can't figure out and showing them what they missed out on, just to tweak the Jets. Danny Woodhead being the most recent example. Maybe Tebow will turn into something, maybe Belichick just took him in to tweak the Jets, or maybe he's just competing for a 3rd QB spot and you're making too big a deal out of it for someone who won't be on the gameday roster. Or the Pats will turn him into a crazy-good TE or RB or something off the wall like that, and show everyone that Tebow is just fine, but they were using him wrong
But probably just the 3rd QB thing, if he makes the final roster at all...
In general, yeah the Patriots' Way thing IS a little nonsense, and media-created, but you showed with the examples you picked that there really aren't many incidents to pick from, and you went back a decade to try and find some. I mean, you could have found a few minor things, but they were to bit-players that no one really knows, so don't make the splash you wanted.
You'd have had a better argument if you tried to pick on the Florida players that the Pats have signed lately. Media made a big deal about the Urban Myers connection to the Pats, and how great they were doing there, but in the past few drafts there, we got:
-Chad Jackson: complete bust
-Jermaine Cunningham: PED suspension last year, otherwise was his first decent year since we got him, likely bust
-Aaron Hernandez: murder, cut
- Brandon Spikes: Pretty good player, but PED suspension and had his dick out on a ChatRoulette incident
Maybe Florida players are our problem?
Perhaps, if I am very lucky, the feeble efforts of my lifetime will someday be noticed and maybe, in some small way, they will be acknowledged as the greatest works of genius ever created by man. ~Jack Handey

PAWTUCKET — Protecting pitchers from injury is a major part of Pawtucket Red Sox manager Arnie Beyeler's job. It isn't something he can control. Competition and the need to succeed push some pitchers to keep throwing, even when their body sends them hints that something is wrong.
On Sunday, PawSox starter Kyle Weiland "felt a twinge" while warming up for the sixth inning. He quickly motioned to the dugout and Beyeler went to his bullpen.
"Kyle did the right thing," Beyeler said after the PawSox dropped a 2-0 verdict to first-place Lehigh Valley, which avoided a four-game sweep at McCoy Stadium.
Weiland struck out seven batters in five innings and trailed 2-0, having given up a home run to Cody Overbeck in the third inning along with a RBI single to Jeff Larish.
"Kyle threw the ball well," Beyeler said. "He got a cramp in his leg and told us about it right away. He got his work in today. And then he did the right thing and told us something was wrong. He should be okay in a day or two."
Weiland is a third-round 2008 draft pick out of Notre Dame who is still filling out his resume in Class AAA ball, hoping to impress Boston with his steady pitching. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound right-hander has been one of Pawtucket's top starters this season. He is 5-6 with a 3.27 earned run average while throwing a team-high 78.1 innings.
Although teammate Andrew Miller, who will start for Boston tonight at Fenway Park against San Diego, has been more spectacular of late, Weiland is the type of innings-eater who keeps minor league teams afloat.
At the age of 24, Weiland remains a prospect, flying under the radar as Miller and former big leaguer Kevin Millwood get most of the attention in the cozy cocoon of Pawtucket's locker room. Miller got his chance on Sunday when Boston put pitcher Clay Buchholz on the disabled list with a lower back strain that has been bothered the right-hander for the past three weeks. That officially opened up a roster spot for Miller, who has known for three days that he would get a start for Boston this week.
Millwood pitched 7.2 innings of one-run baseball against Lehigh Valley on Saturday night, a performance that might earn interest from big league teams who have room for a 38-year-old big league veteran. He is currently working on a minor league contract with Boston after opting out of a similar deal with the Yankees on May 1.
Sunday's game was all about pitching. Lehigh Valley, which lost starter Brian Gordon to the Yankees in an opt-out situation five days ago, started former closer Scott Mathieson in his place on Sunday. Mathieson, who worked on a limited pitch count, touched 97 miles per hour several times. He threw 62 pitches in 3.2 innings, during which he struck out seven batters.
Mathieson, 27, is no slouch. He made the International League All-Star team in 2010 while compiling 26 saves. Two Tommy John surgeries in 2006 and 2007 ended his starting career until Sunday, when the Iron Pigs had a hole to plug in their starting rotation.
"We've seen him before," Beyeler said. "He's got a good arm. He's a big kid who throws hard."
Former big leaguer Jason Grilli came on to get the next four outs and vulture his fourth win in as many decisions. Lehigh Valley followed with two scoreless innings apiece from lefty Mike Zagurski and righthander Mike Schwimer, a 6-foot-8 fireballer who struck out Lars Anderson and Ryan Lavarnway on curveballs to end the game.
Pawtucket managed only four hits all game. Daniel Nava got two of them. Lavarnway and Brian Dlugach each doubled. The PawSox went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. And they struck out 11 times.
"That's baseball," Beyeler said. "If we could flip a switch every game, our record would be a lot better. This is how the game works. Lehigh lost three games in a row to us. We're all in the same boat. That's why we play 144 games."
Pawtucket went 4-4 on this eight-game home stand. Beyeler's bunch begins an eight-game road trip tonight in Louisville before returning home on June 28 against Rochester.
The PawSox, 35-33 after 68 games, are 6 ½ games behind Lehigh Valley in the International League North. They sit in third place, 1 ½ games behind second-place Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (36-31).
The season will be halfway over in a few days. Developing players for Boston, and keeping them healthy, remains the key concern for Arnie Beyeler and his staff. But the manager and his players are competitors. They want to make the postseason. Louisville, at 40-30, is the current wild-card playoff leader. The PawSox need to break even, at least, on this road trip to stay within hailing distance of the wild-card.
Matt Fox (4-2, 2.88) will pitch for Pawtucket tonight against Louisville's Tom Cochran (6-1, 3.64).
EXTRA BASES: Sunday marked just the sixth time since May 28 that the PawSox did not make a roster move … Pawtucket is down to 23 players after Miller departed. The roster limit is 24 … Rehabbing lefthander Franklin Morales pitched a scoreless eighth inning for Pawtucket, allowing one hit and throwing just 11 pitchers. "We want to stretch him out a bit," Beyeler of the lefthanded reliever acquired from Colorado on May 19 for a player to be named later … A solid Father's Day crowd of 8,136 attended Sunday's game.

What's on your iPod: Kevin Marshall, timesunion.com blogger
9 Responses
"2 Minutes to Midnight" is my favorite Iron Maiden song too. They absolutely bridged the gap between loud rock and metal, and made it legendary.
I love the Hold Steady. They put on great (and small) shows here in Albany. At a 2006 show at Valentine's, they let us get up on the stage with them. Pure fun.
I am with R.J on the DK. My iPod does not sport much of the singer/songwriter genre but I enjoyed reading your list.
I'm liking the fact that Kevin Marshall and Sammi Chichester both know their metal. My brush with Heavy Metal Greatness: I saw Iron Maiden and Judas Priest in a double-bill at Glens Falls Civic Center in the early 80s. My ears are still bleeding.
I don't see any Nickelback in there Kevin. What the H?

The Car Show and Brew Fest is one of Camarillo Ranch's largest fundraising events of the year. The main purpose of this event is to raise funds for educational programs, such as school tours and docent-guided public tours, provided at the Ranch. The Camarillo Ranch property, including a 6,000 square-foot Queen Anne Victorian home, is a historic landmark run by a non-profit foundation, the Camarillo Ranch Foundation (CRF). The CRF's mission is to preserve, restore, and maintain the Camarillo Ranch as an historic site in partnership with our public and private sectors; to continue the Ranch's role as a focal point of the community for education, enrichment, and enjoyment; and to exhibit our diverse history and culture.
Maintaining and preserving this historic landmark is an important undertaking, one which can't be accomplished alone. The Foundation is extremely grateful to the community members and businesses that have provided financial support to the Ranch, helping to ensure that our city's "gem" is preserved for future generations to enjoy. Camarillo Ranch would like to thank the following 2013 Car Show & Brew Fest sponsors: Store Safe Self Storage, Mark it Place, Party Pleasers, Pete Ibarra Photography, Pacific Beverage Co., All Professional Sounds, Kia of Ventura, and Cumulus Media
