Can North Broward Hospital District be trusted?
After sitting through four hours of North Broward Hospital District meetings on Wednesday, my skepticism about the rushed Sept. 10 decision authorizing the privatization of the Broward Health system hasn't changed.
If anything, I'm more distrustful than ever.
For now, be grateful that the taxpayer-assisted hospital network that covers residents north of Griffin Road is still open to public scrutiny.
After all, we learned through public documents yesterday that Broward Health's former internal auditing director got a $560,000 settlement last year after he filed a whistleblower lawsuit.
The district admitted no wrongdoing, but David Richstone dropped the case after the district paid him $100,000 in salary and $408,000 in damages, partly for "emotional distress."
And we learned that the district is paying attorney Jim Kennedy of Tampa $475-an-hour for his expertise on transitioning to a non-profit structure, something he's done elsewhere in the state.
These kind of nuggets wouldn't be disseminated if Broward Health is run by a non-profit corporation that might be allowed to be exempt from Florida's broad open government laws.
There might be less transparency when it came to the daily nitty-gritty, but the North Broward Hospital District (with its seven governor-appointed commissioners) would still exist to collect and oversee property taxes for indigent care (currently $170 million).
I see the future, and it's a rubber-stamp public board that wouldn't pry too hard or too often into the new corporation's affairs.
It's hard to blame Broward Health for maybe wanting to go underground. After all, the district
has had enough scandals and embarrassing headlines to last a lifetime.
So changing stripes and converting from a public to quasi-private board is understandable.
Wrong, but understandable.
As Pam Kane, a Fort Lauderdale resident whose father served as chief financial officer of the South Broward Hospital District put it: "I'm really concerned the board hasn't been up front with the public. There's a lot of mistrust."
As Michael Lockwood, a Broward Health heart patient, put it: "You need to slow down and think this thing through."
Or as John De Groot, a retired journalist who showed up Wednesday dressed as "Dr. Bozo the Healthcare Clown" (complete with rubber nose, rainbow wig and a surgeon's jacket with a doctored logo that said 'Broward Wealth') put it sarcastically: "It's not fair. You should be able to meet privately...I understand the problems of doing things in the sunshine: people ask questions, and they want answers."
As for my percolating distrust, let's start with a little thing.
When I asked Broward Health CEO Frank Nask earlier this month about why such a huge issue was taken up at a hastily-arranged special meeting (at 10 a.m. on a Friday morning, the second day of Rosh Hashana) instead of the district's regular monthly meeting (on Wednesday), Nask cited time considerations.
Because the presentation and discussion about the switch would be lengthy, about 2 1/2 hours, Nask said he didn't want to do it on the same night as the regular meeting and final tax/budget hearing (Wednesday).
Well, it turns out that they spent two hours on the issue on Wednesday after all, the first of four public workshops after a flare-up over the hasty way it was handled.
A bigger thing:
Nask and others keep saying the district needs new flexibility in light of federal healthcare reform, with the district currently shackled from entering joint ventures and other business opportunities.
Or maybe not. I dug up the latest version of the district's charter (amended in 2006 by the state legislature), and it seems there's wide latitude.
The charter authorizes the board of commissioners "to participate in, and to provide debt or equity financing for, a corporation in which the district is a shareholder or a joint venture in which the district is a joint venturer, so long as any such corporation or joint venture provides health care services or engages in activities related thereto that benefit the people of the district, as well as others."
(UPDATE: Broward Health spokeswoman Sara Howley said the charter language is overridden by the Florida Constitution, which contains a provision barring that type of arrangement. From Article VII, Section 10: "Pledging credit.--Neither the state nor any county, school district, municipality, special district, or agency of any of them, shall become a joint owner with, or stockholder of, or give, lend or use its taxing power or credit to aid any corporation, association, partnership or person.")
I also find it hard to believe the talk from commissioners and Nask that the non-profit switch isn't a done deal.
"We haven't determined anything," Nask said Wednesday. "We haven't come to any conclusions."
Nask should try re-reading the resolution that passed, because it most certainly determined a course that is now official board policy.
The resolution called for "authorizing and directing the President/CEO to initiate and facilitate the process," and tasked Nask and General Counsel Sam Goren "to take any and all action necessary to effectuate the intent of this Resolution."
Remarkably, the resolution found the switch to a still-unformed corporation with no named directors to be "in the best interests of the citizens, residents and healthcare recipients of the District."
All without any due diligence, feasibility study or hard numbers.
The commission had another chance to rescind the earlier vote at its regular meeting on Wednesday, but didn't. Instead, commissioners voted to let Nask bring in a major accounting/consulting firm to oversee "the review process."
As I've written before, the proper course is scrapping the first resolution and studying all future options to determine what's in the best interest of taxpayers, patients and employees.
The options should include the keeping status quo, forming a new non-profit, selling the system outright and using the proceeds to fund indigent care and merging with the South Broward Hospital District.
After all the pros and cons are examined, the board should come back in six months and make a decision.
It's what the Broward County Commission did when it came to the thorny issue of airport expansion. The commissioners examined four options (doing nothing, building a new north parallel runway, building a new short south runway and building a new long south runway) and settled on the new long south runway.
Some people thought the final decision was a preconceived result, but at least they took the time and effort to study all the options.
The hospital district should do the same.
So far, the district's efforts have been worthy of Dr. Bozo.
In other words, send in the clowns.

Naomi Watts: Love on the rocks?Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber's relationship is on the rocks, according to US reports.
Despite everything appearing to fine on the surface the couple are said to have told friends that they're going through a rough patch.
A source said: "He's been telling people he's having 'girlfriend trouble'. She's been telling people to keep an eye out for new boyfriends."
Watts - who has made it to Hollywood's A-list thanks to the success of 'King Kong' - has reportedly told friends she is finding the 'Scream' actor too controlling.
An insider revealed to America's New York Daily News newspaper: "He wants her to stop working entirely and have a baby.
"He wants to review all her script offers. He even likes her to look a certain way."
The couple have been together since last spring (05) - after meeting on the set of 'The Painted Veil' - and, last December, were rumoured to be seeing a fertility specialist.
Watts' spokeswoman has denied the rift saying: "Everything is fine. This is total nonsense."

I am delighted to be running the 2011 London Marathon.This will be the second time I've run a marathon, the other being the 1983 London Marathon (some 28 years ago!).
I'd love to beat my time of 4hrs 26mins, but realistically, if I finish inside 5hrs I should be very happy.
Having been a fan of Queen since the 70s I've decided to support the Mercury Phoenix Trust with my run. They've been doing some tremendous work in the fight against HIV/AIDS since Freddie's death 20 years ago. So please give generously and help this very worthwhile cause.THANK YOU - and don't forget the Gift Aid box to get that tax relief added!!!
Here's a final thought…back in 1983 event was sponsored by Gillette who provided the runners with freebie razors and deodorants etc. Since then the event has been sponsored by Mars (confectionary), Flora (spread – how did that one work???) and now I'm really looking forward to it being sponsored by Virgin (gulp!).

The open world role playing game that defines the genregebe | Sept. 20, 2013 | Review of The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Nexway (1) - PC
Skyrim is the latest game in Bethesdas much acclaimed Elder Scrolls series and a natural evolution of its predecessors. It's more polished, it has less rough edges and it feels more streamlined. What some people may call "dumbed down" I call more approachable, unnecessary skills have been removed and some annoying micro management aspects of earlier game has been dealt with. You no longer have to plan how you should setup major and minor skills from the get go so that you don't gimp your character later down the road. You can also more easily switch focus mid game, going from mage to archer for example, without too much hassle or breaking the save. The story is quite generic and fits the mold of a classic fantasy adventure including dragons and all. This should not be seen as something inherently negative though, the main story is a good one and will keep you occupied for quite a while. In addition to that you have a HUGE amount of side quests and factions to join that will keep you occupied for many, many hours more. Myself I had played about 120 hours before I even started the main quest, and then I had only completed two of the faction quest lines in game. Also, not to forget, you are presented with a huge open world full of surprises to explore as you may see fit. The setting, the world and the narrative content couldn't be better! As if the original content wasn't enough the game has an amazing community supporting it with player made mods something which extends the life of the game many times over.The mods range from the professional to the crazy and there's something to be found for everyone. A great weakness however is the abysmal UI which gives the impression that Bethesda regards the PC version as a second-class citizen compared to the console versions. Something which is very sad since the series has its roots on the PC. However, as a whole, it's an amazing game that will and can keep you occupied for hundreds of hours, especially if you take advantage of the amazing mod support from the community. In short: Skyrim is a genre defining RPG that gets as much love for its original content as its extensive modability. It's a classic and a must play for any lover of open world, first person role playing games.
Crème de la crème of football manager gamesgebe | Sept. 20, 2013 | Review of Football Manager 2013 Overflow - PC
This is as good as it gets when it comes to football managerial games. Sports Interactive do what they do best and refine their winning concept year in and year out with an extreme attention to detail, adding minor improvements to the whole. The result is a product that is better across the board than last year's revision, more complete and more approachable than ever before and a natural evolution of the series. If you are a lover of football and an aspiring armchair manager then you can't go wrong with this game!

With roughly forty games left to play in the Major League Baseball season, playoffs races around the league are starting to intensify. Here's a quick look at which teams are in those races and whom we can expect to prevail.
American League East
With Tampa Bay's struggles to score runs and Baltimore's inexperience, the AL East division title is once again the Yankees' to lose. Boston and Toronto are all but out of it, so while the Rays are surging, having won eleven of their last thirteen and are fresh off a four game sweep in Anaheim against the Angels, I'm not sure they'll have enough to catch the Yankees. Six more games head to head could be the deciding factor, but expect New York to hold off the Rays and Orioles to win their third AL East title in the last four years.
American League Central
In my mind, it's been inevitable all season long that at some point the Detroit Tigers would overtake first place and go on to win the division. Well, we're closing in on September and that has yet to happen, but they currently sit just 1.5 games back of the Chicago White Sox. Losers of seven out of their last eleven games, the Tigers have three more series' before kicking off September against the rival White Sox. The seven head to head games between the two teams are huge, but what could be even more important for Detroit are their sixteen remaining games against AL Central bottom feeders, Kansas City and Minnesota, which includes thirteen straight to end the season. They always say it only matters which team is in first place on the last day of the season. That team should be the Detroit Tigers.
American League West
Much like the AL East is to the Yankees, the AL West is to the Texas Rangers. The Rangers are on a mission to return to their third straight World Series and it all starts with securing the AL West title and home field advantage throughout the AL playoffs. Currently sitting 5 games clear of Oakland and 9 games ahead of the entertaining, but disappointing LA Angels, the Rangers will win the West, the only question is whether or not they'll appear in their third straight World Series.
American League Wild Card
For the first season ever, each League will have two Wild Card teams, who will face each other in a one-game playoff, for the right to advance to the Divisional playoff round. Right now in the AL, five teams are within 4.5 games of the Wild Cards. While Tampa Bay and Baltimore currently hold the two Wild Card spots, Oakland is ½ game out, Detroit is 2 back, and the Angels are 4.5 out. Who will earn the Wild Card births? Oakland may remain right in the race until the last two weeks of the season when their schedule turns brutal. A nine-game road trip at Detroit, the Yankees, and Texas could spell the end for Oakland. Since my pick to win the AL Central is Detroit, we'll flip flop the White Sox and Tigers and say that thanks to the luxury of playing eighteen more games against the Twins, Indians, and Royals, the White Sox will earn a Wild Card birth. I have to believe the other goes to the Tampa Bay Rays. Their struggles to score runs came to an end as they scored 37 runs in their four-game sweep of the Angels. If they can continue hitting, their pitching is too good for them not to win.
National League East
The Washington Nationals are in their eighth year of existence. They have never had a winning season, have lost 100+ games twice, and were 148 games below .500, as a franchise, coming into the 2012 season. At 75-46, they are currently the best team in baseball and sit 5 games ahead of the Atlanta Braves for first in the NL East. If you haven't heard, GM Mike Rizzo is firm in saying he will shut down star pitcher Stephen Strasburg, after he has reached somewhere between 160-180 innings. The reason, Strasburg missed the entire 2011 season recovering from the dreaded Tommy John surgery, which has decimated so many pitchers' careers. With 139 1/3 innings under his belt, that means Strasburg figures to have about six more starts in him, which would mean Washington would play out the final two weeks of the season and the playoffs without one of the best pitchers in baseball. While Rizzo says his decision is in the best long-term interest of the organization, I feel he is making a huge mistake. In sports, nothing is guaranteed and while Rizzo feels he is keeping Strasburg healthy for many more playoff runs by his Nationals, he is also squandering the greatest opportunity his franchise has ever seen and one that may not come around again for many, many more years. With that said, the Nationals should hold off Atlanta to win their first ever NL East division crown.
National League Central
The second best team in baseball is the Cincinnati Reds. Winners of eight of their last ten, the Big Red Machine is back and looking to win just their second division title since 1995, which is the last year the Reds won a playoff game. Even with former NL-MVP Joey Votto on the disabled list since mid-July, the Reds have been in cruise control and currently sit 6.5 games clear of Pittsburgh, in the division. In Votto's absence, players such as Ryan Ludwick and Todd Frazier are stepping up to have big years. So, even with their best player laid up for awhile longer, there isn't much of a race in the NL Central. Cincy should win it easily.
National League West
The tightest race in baseball is in the NL West, where the Los Angeles Dodgers hold a minuscule ½ game lead over the San Francisco Giants, with the Arizona Diamondbacks lurching, just 4.5 out. I found myself wondering the last year and a half how Melky Cabrera was suddenly such a good baseball player. After averaging just 8 HR and 54 RBI with a .266 batting average over his first five full seasons in the majors, suddenly Cabrera hit .305 with 18 HR and 87 RBI for the Royals last season and was hitting at a .346 clip through 113 games this year. And then it all made sense; Cabrera tested positive to a performance enhancing drug and was suspended by the league for 50 games. The loss is a huge blow to the Giants and should end their division title hopes. Look for the Dodgers to hold of the Diamondbacks for the division crown, but Arizona will make a run at it.
National League Wild Card
Much like the AL, five teams are within range of the NL Wild Cards. Atlanta and Pittsburgh currently hold down the spots, with San Francisco a game back, St. Louis 2 games back, and Arizona 5 back. With San Fran out of it, in my book, that leaves four teams. With the Braves and Pirates enjoying a bit more favorable schedules than the others, expect those two teams to hold onto the Wild Cards and meet in a one-game playoff immediately following their three-game series to end the year. A playoff birth would mark Pittsburgh's first winning season and playoff birth since 1992. Fans whose teams are out of it, such as Twins fans, should be rooting for this team. They have waited a long time to have something to cheer about.

Not bad at all
This review is from: Aposonic A-S0804R8N 8 x BNC 1 x SATA HDD Slot (Up to 2TB Max) H.264 Standalone Surveillance DVR
Pros: Very small form factor, you can easily secure or hide it. The DVR literally has three small PCB boards inside, the rest is empty space so it provides good air flow inside for the hard drive. Built-in web server easily let's you watch your camera feeds from anywhere. Very easy to setup; connect your cameras, turn it on, and you're on. It records, emails and FTP's video footage triggered by video motion on the connected surveillance cameras to anywhere you want; very useful feature.
Cons: The casing has an opening for a 45-mm exhaust fan but fan is not included. Interface is written with poor English. If you are uncomfortable figuring out tech things on your own, you may need help. Manual is also written in poor English and does not provide a list of compatible hard drives; had to return a brand new 2 TB HDD because it wouldn't work with it.
Other Thoughts: At $160 this DVR is unbeatable. It boots right up and works as advertised. Excellent budget-conscious choice for folks like myself.

It's the age-old battle of the restaurant business: The back-of-the-house staff can't stand the front-of-the-house crew, because the latter works fewer hours in an arguably more comfortable environment -- and makes more money in the process.
But here's the really bad news: The rift between the two will worsen if you own a sit-down pizzeria in California. On New Year's Day, that state's minimum wage will rise 50 cents to $6.75 an hour -- $1.60 higher than the federal mandate.
In most states that wouldn't mean much to servers and bartenders. Typically their hourly rate is below the minimum because gratuities make up the majority of their pay. But not in California. There, servers and bartenders start at minimum wage. Think of that: $6.75 an hour plus tips.
I can almost hear the cooks sharpening their knives now.
Understandably, California operators are up in arms about the increase. The timing couldn't have been worse: the sputtering economy has reduced customer counts, and the travel industry -- a huge source of income for Californians -- has yet to recover from the events of Sept. 11.
Tough luck, says Joe McLaughlin, president of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union, Local 49. Earlier this month, he told the Sacramento Business Journal that operators have no reason to whine about the wage boost.
"The corporations are complaining, but they're making plenty of money," McLaughlin said. "They cried (about the increase) last year, but nothing happened. They said the 50 cents would kill them, and then business went through the roof."
Hey, Joe, have you read the papers lately? Times have changed. That was then and this is now. No one's business is "through the roof" anymore.
The California Restaurant Association recently applied for emergency legislation that would delay the increase for six months -- for bartenders and servers only. By then operators are confident the economy will have righted itself and their restaurants will be full again.
Let's hope so.
In the meantime, restaurateurs are scratching their heads as to why tipped employees should get a mandatory raise. Richard Allum, director of marketing for San Francisco-based Amici's East Coast Pizzeria, said that with the current minimum wage of $6.25 an hour, servers at the five-store company already make close to $20 an hour.
"The amount of money the company spends on servers will increase 8 percent after it goes up," said Allum. "So, some of our highest-paid employees are getting a pay increase."
That makes no sense, and here's why:
Tipped employees, except for busboys or food runners, are salespersons working on commission. The formula is simple: Give great service and you'll be rewarded. It's worked that way for decades.
Also, a good server or bartender doesn't need a college degree, just common sense, a willingness to learn the trade and a genuine concern for customers. In my book, if you can earn $20 an hour doing those jobs, you don't need the government's help.
Yes, that wage likely is on the high end of the scale for servers in full-service pizzerias, but it's not that high. When I quit waiting tables a decade ago in a similarly priced restaurant, I made about $14 an hour -- supported by an hourly rate of $2.13! Working about 32 hours a week, I still made $23,000 my last year there -- $3,000 more than I made when I later graduated and became a full-time journalist.
Those benefiting most from this increase aren't the most deserving. I cooked professionally for eight years, so I know what amount of dedication it takes not only to become good at it, but to work for such paltry pay. When business goes up, so do servers' earnings. Cooks' wages, however, stay static, which isn't exactly motivating.
Ken Parkinson, a restaurant consultant in Sacramento, told the Journal that if you pay servers more money on the hour, there's none left to compensate the back-of-the-house staff fairly. "What happens is that you can't afford to pay the real talent in the restaurant -- the people in the kitchen."
This increase helps those who don't need it. Any server who needs this increase as much as a dishwasher does probably ought to quit serving tables.
In time, this trend will pass -- to your neck of the woods. In the U.S., culinary currents flow from California eastward. It concerns me, therefore, that changes in the foodservice wage structure occurring there will spill over to other states. That's not good for a tight-margin industry.
If you want to avoid the same in your state, then make your opinion known. Support the restaurant associations that help shape legislation that actually fits the nuances of the restaurant industry. There's strength in numbers, and these groups are organized and savvy about getting the message out.
Yes, that'll take a commitment of time, your most precious commodity. But it could help restrict the misapplication of laws to your business, and ultimately protect your profits.

|Bought 2 of these - one for a netbook and 1 for an external enclosure. Unlike the old Hitachi hd in my netbook. Well, ordered this drive before Christmas, received it in an orderly manner which was nice. Had a laptop drive that the OS had crashed multiple times and was only 80GB. Replaced it with this drive and have ran it for about 3 weeks now. Very good external hard drive. I am very pleased with this unit so far.

Islam, Christianity, and the West: A Troubled History
Smith, Jane I., International Bulletin of Missionary Research
Islam, Christianity, and the West: A Troubled History. By Rollin Armour, Sr. Maryknoll, N.Y.: Orbis Books, 2002. Pp. xv, 197. Paperback $25.
One of a number of "9 / 11" volumes that appeared last year, Rollin Armour's book has been nearly a decade in the making. He takes the World Trade Centerbombing in 1993 and its final destruction in 2001 as historical "bookends" for the material covered. His stated goal is to contribute to better mutual understanding between the West and the Islamic world.
Armour, professor emeritus in the Department of Christianity at Mercer University, Macon, Georgia, encourages Christians to learn more about the history and theology of Islam and about the mutual engagements, both intellectual and internecine, that have characterized the long history of these traditions. The information he provides about Christian responses to Islam over the centuries is considerably richer than that of Islamic material about Christians, to which he makes only passing reference. Nonetheless, he engages very important issues in this work, making good his promise to suggest ways in which the intellectual-theological and the militarypolitical themes of our mutual histories are intertwined. …

Can I be pregnant while on the mini pill?
I am on the mini pill and my last period was July 7th. I may have missed 1 pill this month. I took a test last week and it was negative. I was nauseous last night and could smell the grapes going bad in the kitchen... Could I have a false negative? I am 2 weeks late. Should I take another test or is this normal?

Earlier in the day, McCain's campaign advisors had promised CNN and MSNBC that the Republican candidate's acceptance speech would address the economy and other issues in detail. Instead, Americans heard a speech that - except for a few diversions - contained little of either. Although McCain hammered on the fact that the Republican party had lost the trust of Americans, he also began by thanking George Bush for 'protecting America'.
Unfortunately, this verified what many Americans have said about McCain all along, that he still supports the idea of the Iraq war, as well as the policies of one George W. Bush.
At the very start, when McCain mentioned his concern with the number of Americans out of work, a man and a woman stood up and began a loud protest. Both were quickly led from the building. No one seemed to know who they were, although they had the usual credentials hanging around their necks. Another person held up a banner against the Iraq war. He was also removed by security staff.
All week this writer has avoided watching any of the convention, in order to gain a more objective view of the final fireworks. Tonight, I tuned in and took a hard look at the crowd, searching out the faces to determine for myself what types of people were in attendance or who were serving as delegates. What I discovered was nothing even remotely resembling a cross-section of America. The vast majority of attendees were Caucasian, and most of them were much better coiffed than their Democratic counterparts. The general atmosphere of the crowd was white, upscale, affluent America, with very few minorities.
It suddenly occurred to this writer what the 2008 election was all about.
It was a battle between White Affluent Upscale America and The Rest of Us.
The best part of McCain's speech was when he spoke of his time as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese. It brought tears to the eyes of many, and showed that indeed, John McCain is an American hero. He admitted he had been 'broken' by his North Vietnamese captors, but that one of his fellow prisoners had urged him to keep fighting. It was a high point, and there is no denying that McCain has given more than most for his country.
However, except for a few general comments, he failed to address the issues that voters crave answers about. He promised major offshore oil drilling and increasing the use of nuclear power as his start to solving America's energy problems. He talked about clean coal and other alternatives, but somehow these promises sounded empty coming from Senator McCain. He discussed catching up to the Information Age, as if America was somehow behind on this issue, when in reality America is certainly a leader. This sounded strange coming from a man who has already admitted he doesn't know how to use a computer.
McCain told the crowd that his Vice-Presidential running mate, Sarah Palin, was certain to shake up the status quo in Washington. But to quote the film Air Force One he forgot that in our system of government the Vice President can hardly get airline tickets without asking someone for a voucher first.
When McCain hit high points, a large number of attendees did not look convinced. In fact, many had serious expressions as if they were having doubts about the whole thing. This was both strange and disturbing.
Meanwhile, outside the confines of the Convention Center, protests continued. There were some arrests, some uses of pepper spray, but nothing like the 1968 convention in Chicago, for example.
McCain did not talk specifics regarding the number one issue - the economy - and his failure to address the economy was a glaring mistake. He hinted about possibly increasing the amount of unemployment insurance available to states, but he gave no hard-core answers to the economic woes facing America. He only offered cutting the tax rate for corporations and vetoing pork barrel projects. He poked fun at Obama's plan to provide health care, saying 'a bureaucrat will be standing between you and your doctor...'
Instead, McCain focused on fears about terrorism and basically letting Americans figure out all the answers for themselves. He offered up the typical Republican trickle-down economic theory as his only answer, and then said 'I'm going to fight for you...fight with me...' several times.
But he didn't say what punches Americans should throw in such a fight, or how he intended to make it happen. His 'call to fight for America' sounded hollow and militaristic, and the type of speech you give when running for mayor of a small town perhaps, instead of the Presidency.
McCain had the national stage for fifty minutes and a chance to tell America his exact plan for the country - and he failed to take advantage of the audience.
McCain is a great American in many ways. But in this writer's opinion, his song remains the same.
He still doesn't get it.

text: Johannesburg - Newly crowned Premiership champions Orlando Pirates are likely to be hauled over the coals by the Premier Soccer League for their supporters' misbehaviour, reports the Sowetan.A section of overzealous Pirates fans invaded the Orlando Stadium pitch immediately after referee Robert Sithole blew the final whistle on Saturday after Bucs beat Lamontville Golden Arrows 2-1 to clinch the championship.A private security company had to be roped in to assist with crowd control as supporters swarmed the medals podium to celebrate Pirates' achievement. Bucs coach Ruud Krol lost his spectacles as he was mobbed by ecstatic Bucs fans.One fan who lost a cellphone said: "It was clear the PSL did not provide adequate security because they expected the title to be won by Ajax in the Cape."At most of the high-profile PSL matches police officers are deployed to help with crowd control but this was not the case on Saturday.Security personnel deployed by the PSL were spread thin as many guards were sent to the two other potential title deciders in Cape Town, where Ajax played Maritzburg United, and Durban, where Kaizer Chiefs played AmaZulu.The PSL's outgoing prosecutor, Zola "Javas" Majavu, was perusing the reports for all the matches that took place on Saturday, including the pitch invasion at Orlando Stadium."All the matches were played simultaneously on Saturday and I am looking at the reports of the matches, including the play-offs, and I'm also awaiting television footage of these matches and I can't comment on if we will charge certain clubs," Majavu said.

Three faculty members from OCLD and one graduate student in communications presented their work at the Eastern Communication Association (ECA) annual conference in Pittsburgh, April 28-May 1.
Hong Zhu, graduate student in communications, presented "Ambiguities Identified: Kenneth Burke's rhetoric of identification and its application in national experiences." The poster session featured the work of students from as far away as Texas and Florida.
Dr. Tammy Shapiro and Dr. Marie Garland both presented their work as part of a panel on "Making it work: Managing motherhood and the politics of organizational support."
Dr. Shaprio's work centered on women's use of both utopian and dystopian narratives of the workplace. Her paper, titled "Suffering for our games: Women an hegemonic masculinity in the hardcore culture of computer game design" revealed that while female gamers expressed a need for more women in the gaming industry, in doing so they relied heavily on stereotypical assumptions about what women would bring to the gaming profession.
Dr. Garland's paper, "Gendered parenting: The discourse of work and the construction of motherhood" examined the relationship between work and family as represented in popular parenting magazines. One key finding was that while male and female professionals were cited as experts equally, mothers were far more likely to be cited as 'expert parents' then fathers were.
Dr. Sandra Herndon, Past President of ECA, presented "Listening to members: A case study of a focus group program in a regional co-op" and participated in three roundtables. The roundtables addressed topics ranging from legal issues in online environments, leadership in academic administration, and community activism.

Baker's young baseball team continues to show improvement, but mistakes still prove costly.
The Bulldogs (2-6 in league) lost a Greater Oregon League doubleheader at Ontario Saturday, 4-2 and 8-1.
"When I look back from the first time we played them and then now I see great improvement," said Baker coach Dan Blankenship.
"We're getting there. We have four more league games all at home, so maybe we can get back into it by getting them."
Baker fell behind 4-0 after three innings of Game 1 Saturday. That was partially because the Bulldogs offense sputtered.
"We had the bases loaded in the first, had the bases loaded in the fourth, and had the bases loaded in the fifth," Blankenship said.
"We had runners on in almost every inning."
Baker only capitalized in the fifth, scoring both of its runs.
Sam Averett and Dillon Blankenship each walked, and Colten Richards singled to load the bases. Averett and Blankenship then scored on a single by Braden Phillips.
Averett took the loss on the mound despite throwing a complete-game four-hitter. Two of the runs against him were unearned.
"Sam threw a great game," Blankenship said.
In Game 2, Ontario built a 7-0 lead after three innings.
Again Baker's bats were silent with only four hits.
Baker scored its run in the fifth when Averett doubled and scored on a single by Blankenship.
Kody Younger took the loss on the mound.
Baker travels to Fruitland Wednesday for a nonleague makeup game. The Bulldogs then return to GOL action Friday by hosting Mac-Hi.

Laboratory Practices
Autoclave Safety
All MU faculty, staff and students must be trained to operate an autoclave properly and safely before use. The physical hazards involve heat, steam, and pressure. The biological hazards involve potential exposure to viable human pathogens. First, review the operational and safety instructions found in the manufacturer's operating manual. Additional autoclave training is available and provided by EHS (Biological Safety Professional) upon request. This training will focus on proper autoclave operating procedures, safety practices, maintenance, and testing for effectiveness.
Important Safety Practices
Testing Autoclaves for Effectiveness
Autoclaves used for pathogen kill-loads or clean glassware sterilizing cycles, should be routinely tested once per month for killing effectiveness. Before placing new autoclaves into service, killing effectiveness testing must be completed. The most common method of testing is using commercially available test indicator kits with spore strips (usually Bacillus stearothermophilus). The spore strips are placed in the center of a typical load and run through a sterilization cycle. The spore strips are incubated with the non-autoclaved strips. To remove the spore strips from the biohazard bag without exposure to the contents, place the fresh spore strips inside of a glass screw cap tube. Tie a string around the neck of the tube. Bury the tube in the center of the load as you build it. Thread the string out of the top of the bag before you tie it with autoclave tape. After the kill cycle is completed, open the bag and pull on the string to retrieve the spore strip for incubation. If growth is noted on the autoclaved spore strips, try increasing the run time. If growth still occurs with run times of 45 minute or more, the autoclave may need maintenance and repair.
Autoclave performance information:
Autoclaves shall be tested before being placed into service, and then retested periodically for effectiveness.
Testing Periodicity or Schedule
Method of Testing
The appropriate parameters for sterilization including temperature, pressure, and treatment time shall be determined in this way.
Storage Information
The following records regarding autoclave use must be kept:
Autoclave Operating Procedures
A written sterilization procedure shall be in place for each workplace. This shall include the following:
Autoclave training is given by the EHS (Biological Safety Professional) upon request. The training is geared toward research staff. It goes over proper use of autoclaves and how they may be maintained and used properly. Safety training is also given. If there are any additional questions on autoclave safety, contact the Biological Safety Professional at 882-7018.

Conservation Cycling
without disturbing or scaring off wildlife. We left all electronics at home, except for a cell phone, so silence and peacefulness enveloped us. We'd ride miles and not see anyone. We felt like we were in a different world where time slowed down. It was a great escape from modern life.
The birdwatching was excellent. Hawks, eagles and vultures circled overhead, woodpeckers drilled for insects, ducks and geese swam in ponds, blue herons and egrets fished in vast wetlands, and lots of bluebirds, goldfinches, cardinals and songbirds darted through the green canopy around us. Rabbits raced through the underbrush, woodchucks stood to watch us pass, and deer and turkey foraged in the fields. We saw more turtles dozing on logs, frogs, grasshoppers and salamanders than we could count. One day we saw a large black snake contentedly sunning itself on the rocks near the trail.
Machens to North Jefferson:
The Katy Trail State Park's easternmost trailhead is Machens. The trail then follows the northern bank of the Missouri River from St. Charles to North Jefferson. On this stretch, dolomite and sandstone cliffs, covered with vegetation and trees, hug the trail as it winds through rich bottomland farms and forests.
Near the eastern end of the trail, about five miles of the Katy Trail traverse the 8,359-acre Weldon Spring Conservation Area, which offers additional hiking, biking, fishing and hunting opportunities. Though few remnants remain today, during World War II, more than 5,000 people worked here in more than 1,000 buildings producing 700 million pounds of TNT. Later, the U.S. Army built a uranium ore processing plant and then later produced herbicides. In 1985, the U.S. Department of Energy took over the site and cleaned it up.
From within Weldon Spring Conservation Area, the Hamburg Trail offers access to the August A. Busch Memorial Conservation Area, a 6,987-acre area containing 3,000 acres of forest in addition to grassland, cropland, old fields, prairie and wetlands. The area has a visitor center, boat rentals, picnic areas, pavilion, hiking trails, fishing jetties, fishing docks, staffed firearms range, archery range and viewing blinds. There are 32 fishable lakes and ponds totaling 550 acres and hunting opportunities.
The 223-acre Grand Bluffs Conservation Area is located in Bluffton. A two-mile hike through maple and oak forests leads to an observation deck located high atop some of the tallest bluffs along the trail, offering majestic views of the river

Animal research and your child's behavior.
Psychologists who work with children and families tend to avoid mentioning to parents that the treatments they use are often based on research done on animals. It's no secret that the widely used technique of the timeout was developed in studies on rats or that important early research leading to treatments for anxiety in humans was done on dogs, cats, and other species—but the subject doesn't come up a lot in conversation. We will confess to doing our bit to perpetuate this professional shyness about animal research by tiptoeing around it in our Slate pieces and in the book we wrote together. Why?
Talking about the underpinnings of psychology in animal research tends to make parents uneasy, even upset—not because they fear that the animals were mistreated but because of what they think it implies about their children. "You're saying my kid's like a rat? You're saying my kid's not complex and unique? What about this picture he drew of Spider-Man sobbing in a rainstorm?" When they're outraged, insulted, and indignant, people tend to be less receptive to whatever it is that those who upset them have to say, so there's a sound practical reason for psychologists not to provoke parents needlessly.
And it's understandable that parents do get upset. Some human-animal comparisons are less acceptable than others. It's not considered offensive for a wife to compare improving her husband's domestic chops to training killer whales at Sea World, and it's almost always OK to compare men to dogs—a characterization that many men seem to find flattering. It's also OK for parents to joke about their children being wild beasts. But when an accredited professional proposes such a comparison, defenses go up and tempers shorten.
We don't like the idea that some of the same forces that guide the behavior of rats or monkeys also guide that of our children, part of a larger unwillingness to see our children as mere dumb animals herded this way or that by various influences—from advertising to hormones—other than their own parents' authority and values. Many parents are also committed to a certain model of moral complexity, be it Freudian or otherwise, that figures prominently in their definition of what it means to be human, and so they want to see their child's behavior as expressing suitably human complexity. When they're told that they can, say, control their child's tantrums by employing a simple program of attention and praise that works pretty much the same way that food rewards work with mice, it seems to demean the deep-seated trauma, sorrows, sinfulness, or angst that they believe "caused" the tantrum.
But, whatever the understandable reasons for popular uneasiness about the role of animal research in our understanding of the psychology of parenting, maybe it's a mistake to shy away from talking about it—or, more properly, from talking about nonhuman animal research, since engaging it head-on moves us toward recognizing that people are more like animals, and animals more like people, than we might naturally want to assume. And, more to the point, maybe talking forthrightly about animal research would help psychologists do a better job of explaining their field to the families they're trying to help—where treatments come from, how they work, and why they do or don't succeed.
What happens before (antecedents), during, and after (consequences) a behavior changes how we act. We know a lot about this aspect of human nature thanks to extensive research on rats, pigeons, and monkeys, as well as humans. The area of research known as operant conditioning, which goes back to the beginning of the 20th century, focused in its early stages on the basic processes of learning and performance. One of the most common ways to study how behaviors were influenced by consequences such as rewards was to evaluate what influenced animals to press levers in a laboratory cage. Increasingly elaborate studies were done to see what rewards—food pellets, drinking water—influenced performance. When lawful (scientifically reliable) relations between cause and effect were identified, they tended to be similar across the species that were studied. Different species learned faster, better, or differently from others, but the basic processes of reward and punishment operated in the same ways. If one were to graph a pigeon's, a rat's, and a monkey's responses to reinforcement (the application of a consequence for a behavior that increases the likelihood that the behavior will be performed in the future), the lines would look almost identical.
In the 1950s and '60s, this basic research was extended to humans, who were invited into the laboratory to press levers under various conditions, just as the animals had done. Humans displayed systematic stark and subtle responses to reward very similar to those of the other animals. So add a fourth near-identical line to the graph and label it "Human."
