Police Department - Crime Prevention/Community Relations Unit
The Crime Prevention/Community Relations Unit remains active in its efforts to disseminate information to the public regarding personal safety and the prevention of crime.
Official Skokie Public Safety Bulletin
The Village maintains an Official Skokie Public Safety Bulletin that provides information on crime and public safety in the community. The Bulletin is:
- Timely – reported within a few days after the incident
- Accurate – information taken directly from Police incident reports
- Factual – street addresses, crime locations and other details will be included to the extent possible
- Educational – information you can use to stay informed about public safety and to protect yourself, your loved ones, your home/property and the community.
The bulletin is updated nearly every weekday and provides the community with information about crimes committed in the community, criminal investigations, comments received from the community and public safety tips. Click here to view the bulletin.
Individuals can send the Skokie Police Department anonymous tips about criminal activity in three easy ways: via text messages, through a mobile app and on the web. Key features include anonymous two-way interaction between the tipster and the Skokie Police Department and the ability to attach images to tips. Find out more by clicking here.

Citizens Police Academy
The Citizens Police Academy offers citizens a unique opportunity by gaining insight into their Police Department. The 12-week course is usually held once per year.
Classes include topics such as investigations, canine unit and drugs and gangs. The program is a mix of instructional and role-playing activities which provide the citizen with a realistic understanding of police work in the community. There is no cost to citizens. For more information on the next Citizen's Police Academy please contact the Skokie Police Department's Crime Prevention/Community Relations Unit at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 847/982-5919.
Presentations and Special Events
Group meetings within the Village of Skokie, including business associations, youth groups and senior organizations, are provided the opportunity to have an Officer speak about crime prevention topics of interest. Some subjects covered include personal safety and general crime prevention, identity theft, bank robbery and gang awareness.
Informational Brochures
The Crime Prevention/Community Relations Unit offers a variety of information brochures for Skokie residents including the following:
School Safety and "Officer Friendly"
The Skokie Police Department School Safety Programs are presented to children in kindergarten through 3rd grade. The main goal of the program is to build and develop a trusting relationship between police officers and children. Further, "Officer Friendly" educates young people on the following law enforcement related topics:
- Stranger Danger
- HomeAlone
- Decision Making Skills
- Learning address/telephone#, calling 9-1-1
- Self-Esteem Building
School Safety programs are administered by the "Officer Friendly," beginning with kindergarten. Sessions last up to 30 minutes and are age-appropriate. For example, kindergartners learn about calling 9-1-1 and what to do in case they are lost. In first grade, stranger danger is emphasized.
On some occasions, sessions designed for high school level students are offered to deal with relevant information for students who are in drivers' education programs. State of Illinois laws are reviewed and students are taught to understand that having a driver's license is a privilege.
Neighborhood Watch
This program adheres to simple philosophies; "neighbors watching out for neighbors," and communicating with each other. The program originated in 1982 with small groups of citizens or blocks of neighbors who simply watched out for each others well being. These small groups have grown into today's Neighborhood Watch Program, which includes over 200 blocks and more than 6,600 participants. The program continues to grow as more and more citizens continue to communicate and demonstrate concern for their neighbors and neighborhoods. To qualify for the Neighborhood Watch Program, more than 50% of the block residents must wish to participate. Once 50% of the block residents volunteer to participate, an organizational meeting is scheduled to coordinate and explain the program, in addition to selecting a block captain from among the volunteers.
Once established, there are social benefits of the program as well. Not only does a Neighborhood Watch provide raised neighborhood awareness, enhance sense of community and cooperation, and increased person-to-person neighbor interaction, but gives members a sense of belonging and offers the opportunity to contribute to the greater good, a safe and healthy community.
The neighborhood and the community greatly benefit through participation in the Neighborhood Watch Program. The Skokie Police Department asks that any person interested in the program to please contact the Crime Prevention/Community Relations Unit at 847/982-5919.
Four times a year, the Department publishes a Neighborhood Watch Newsletter. The newsletter generally addresses a seasonal topic, such as "Halloween Safety" in the fall. Click on a link below to download a copy of the latest Neighborhood Watch Newsletter or review an older publication.
Fall 2015 Summer 2015 Spring 2015 Winter 2014
Communication between neighbors is the best way to know when something is wrong in the neighborhood and should be reported to the police. Call the police anytime something appears to be out of place in your area.
Security Surveys
Security Surveys cover home safety, house and business alarms, locking systems, lighting and parking issues. An officer will check a number of security factors and also will make recommendations about the interior of the building, such as ways to improve security of doors and windows. If you are interested in scheduling a Security Survey, please contact the Crime Prevention/Community Relations Unit at 847/982-5919.

The mandolin has seen a serious resurgence of popularity in recent years, and for good reason. With a unique sound that can add character to any song, mandolins have found a home beyond country and bluegrass music, effortlessly expanding into indie, power pop, and rock and roll. Now, it's time for you to add the mandolin to your repertoire.
There are so many acts in today's musical landscape that are spicing things up with a mandolin. Artists such as Butch Walker and Stevie Van Zandt of the E Street Band, as well as bands like Primal Scream and Dropkick Murphys have all used the mandolin to expand their horizons. With an impressive list of names like that, it's no wonder you're looking to do the same.
So which Mandolin is right for you? Well, there are a number of different styles available to you here. One thing you should take note of when you start your search are the different types of sound holes each Mandolin has. Generally mandolins will have either "ff" sound holes or a single oval sound hole. The differences between these holes are subtle, but noticeable, with oval sound holes (like the one found on the Washburn M1SDL A-Style Mandolin) delivering strong bass sounds and resonance, as well as warmer tones and lush character. The "ff" sound holes (like the ones on the Michael Kelly MKLFSTB Legacy Festival Mandolin), on the other hand, project better and offer a far clearer and more cutting sound. There's no right or wrong type; both are, in fact, very popular. In the end your choice will almost certainly come down to personal preference.
Regardless of which mandolin you choose, you're certain to enjoy the wonderful music they make. From Taylor Swift, to the Pogues, and everywhere in between, the mandolin is more popular than ever and is certain to find a perfect place in your band

Jimmy Houston to headline fishing classes at Rose State College
When Jimmy Houston quit his job as an insurance agent and became a pro bass angler in 1975, no one could have predicted the influence he would have on the sport.
The mopheaded Houston of Cookson was definitely hyperactive. He would fish for countless hours without a break, never missing a cast.
He believed the harder you fished, the more your lure was in the water, the more bass you would put in the boat.
When Houston began his pro career, almost every angler sat in a boat seat with an armrest and made overhand casts. Houston developed a quick, underhanded casting technique so he could make more casts when tournament fishing.
A right-handed caster, Houston seldom lifted his lure more than a foot out of the water before rolling his wrist and shooting the lure back out parallel to the water.
Houston also was among the first tournament anglers to remove the front seat of his boat and would stand to cast. That allowed him to get a better look at bass holding cover and help him set the hook and play the fish.
At the time, many thought Houston was just being his hyperactive self, but now it is a common practice.
Houston, a legend in the sport and one of the best known outdoor personalities in the country because of his television show, Jimmy Houston Outdoors, will headline next month's "Bass Fishing Techniques" classes at Rose State College.
Other instructors will be George Cochran, a two-time Bassmaster Classic champion and former FLW champion; pro bass angler Kenyon Hill of Norman and Oklahoma bass fishing guides Ivan Martin of Afton and Bob Myers of Sulphur.
Classes will be held Feb. 12, 19, 26 and March 5 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The cost to attend all four sessions is $99.
To enroll, call Rose State College at 733-7392. For more information, visit www.BassTechniques.org.

Film Forum, the non-profit cinema located in New York City, has unveiled its Winter repertory slate.
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1948 film "The Red Shoes" is on tap for a two week run, November 6-19, while Jacques Tati's "M. Hulot's Holiday" will screen November 20-December 3. The prints of both films will be new, 35mm restorations. The films of director James Whale will be the focus of a week-long retrospective (December 4-10), that includes his early horror classics, "Frankenstein" and "The Invisible Man."
The majority of December will be devoted to the series Madcap Manhattan, a program of classic comedies set in New York City, continuing through January 5, 2010. Among the films slated are Leo McCarey's screwball comedy "The Awful Truth," Frank Capra's "You Can't Take It With You," and Billy Wilder's "The Apartment."
Rounding out the schedule is a retrospective of the films of Akira Kurosawa, January 6-February 4, 2010. The series includes a nine-day run of the director's 1949 detective film "Stray Dog" and will be followed by a two-week presentation of his late-career samurai epic "Ran."
For more information, visit Film Forum's website.

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch does not want to speak with the media. The media wants Lynch to fulfill his league-mandated obligation to speak. Neither side is budging.
And it is getting ugly.
Lynch, who avoided NFL mandated interviews with the Seattle media throughout most of the 2013 season, spoke for less than seven minutes on Tuesday. His session was scheduled to last an hour, but Lynch was the only player who cut his session short. NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders tracked down Lynch, but the running back did not say much.
As a result, D. Orlando Ledbetter, president of the Pro Football Writers of America released a statement on Wednesday, criticizing Lynch's lack of media availability.
The league threatened to fine Lynch $50,000 for not speaking this season, but refrained from punishing him if he complied with its rules. Seattle has two more media sessions this week, and Lynch could be fined $100,000 if he does not attend those league-mandated media gatherings.
Unfortunately, nobody will win this battle.
If Lynch breaks down and fully complies, his answers will be bland. Lynch already has a disdain for the media, and being forced to speak does not help. The league wants its players to speak to promote upcoming games and events. If Lynch does not fulfill his obligation in the future, other players may follow his example, which could create more problems for the NFL.
Regardless, this situation is ugly.

Each breast has 15 to 20 sections, called lobes, that are arranged like the petals of a daisy.
Each lobe has many smaller lobules, which end in dozens of tiny bulbs that can produce milk.
The lobes, lobules, and bulbs are all linked by thin tubes called ducts.
These ducts lead to the nipple in the center of a dark area of skin called the areola.
Fat fills the spaces between lobules and ducts.
There are no muscles in the breast, but muscles lie under each breast and cover the ribs.
Each breast also contains blood vessels and vessels that carry lymph. The lymph vessels lead to small bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes, clusters of which are found under the arm, above the collarbone, and in the chest, as well as in many other parts of the body.

Welcome to the Guild
Hello all!
I just wrote a wiki-style article on cartography (www.insidejobs.com/jobs/cartographer - please don't say bad things about the prose and when I was writing it I came across this forum in my research and thought it was awesome. I've also just got into photography, and now am psyched about how to mash up that hobby with a hobbyist approach to (my local) cartography, and figure this forum will give me some inspiration!
Looking forward to browsing the threads!

Big dust up on a local board about using housekeepers or cleaning services when you have firearms stored in the house. As you can imagine the two camps were divided along the lines of no problem or no way.
Truthfully I had never given it much though before since we have been using the same cleaning service for 10-12 years now without any issues or concerns. We use what I would guess to be a mid size company that sends the same crew out every time and they do our house and the neighbor's house on the same day. They have access to the Stove Palace with a key for the regular lock on our front door but not the deadbolt. They don't touch the basement/mancave as we take care of that (half finished, half unfinished laundry room/storage) and that is where the main safe is. All safes are locked and the ones in the bedroom hidden.
The "no way" camp claims that it's not the cleaning personnel that you have to worry about, it's who they tell that you might own firearms.
Interesting debate locally, what say you, DC?
1) My wife and I are the house cleaning services, so that's not a problem.
2) I miss the Mel Brooks avatar. It was much better than hypocrite Feinstein you use now.
I know little on the subject so I'll speak at length.
If you have an excuse for failure, you will.
I had workers in my house and my safe was in the laundry room , well every air conditioning guy and , washer guy would say to my wife ohhh your husband collect guns . So when i was doing a lower level re-hab i moved it in a walk in closet that has a lock on the door . No one sees it now no more comments .
I say it can be either , or someone friendly with the cleaners . IMHO i don't trust prying eyes .

It's definitely something to think about. I wouldn't like the idea of people at my house without me there. I am curious to see others responses, I have never really given this much thought.

Strangers in the house always afford an opportunity for miscreants to do their thing. No matter, that they're technically hired to be there.
IMO, it just highlights the utility of having an off-limits room or two, having a good safe that's hard to take and where it's unknown it's there, having videocam recording of activity while you're not present, etc. Lacking those things, I'd have problems with unfettered access as well. Who wouldn't?

This can actually be a positive. We use a "handyman" that came highly recommended. Great guy, does fantastic work for the things that I don't have time or the want to to do. Over the holidays he was in the basement doing some painting from the water damage episode and saw the safe. He is also a gun guy and we got to talking about our favorite topic and the conversation evolved into how to get a carry permit here in the People's Republic. The next time he came back he told me that he has already set up his training class and I am going to help him fill out his paperwork.
My brother had pavers put in by a contractor a couple years ago , and told them they could go in his garage and get water from the refrig. , one of the guys seen his 5 gal water jug with change in it and stole it . My brother guesses approx. 500.00 . He confronted and got a confession and did not pay the owner of the company the 500.00 portion of the bill .
Thief's all around us , even the people patting you on the back .

an old accounting proverb: "In God We Trust....All others We Audit". When it comes to guns or money, trust no one and take security measures accordingly.
Give to them according to their deeds and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; give to them according to the work of their hands; render to them their deserts. Psalm 28:4
We have a housekeeper. Friend and fully bonded. I don't worry for a moment. She has been with us 5 years. She needed extra income but was not desperate. I would not have gone with a stranger.
We love it.

I would never hire a cleaning service. Cleaning companies typically don't pay well for what is fairly hard and rather unpleasant work. There tends to be a very high turn over for these exact reasons and not always a lot of high quality applicants for these companies to choose from. I say these things based on my experience and observations with the cleaning company from a former job. No way would I want the majority of people that worked there in my home.
I'm not bothered by people knowing I have guns, or that I have several safes. But We are like the Stoveman family We check out everyone that comes to our house. DR
My mom cleans houses part time. She is also self employed. Her houses don't need to worry about leaving their guns out, she has her own and we have plenty in our home.
Thanks Stove Dude! This is one problem I don't have, you made my night!

People talk about not wanting negative but time after time it ends up resonating both sides do it and it has been done since politics have been around including our founding fathers who when you read comments from their election bids was just as bad.

Community-Based Early
Intervention in Jamaica:
A Home-Based Model
Incorporating Parents of
Children with Disabilities
Before embarking on a discussion of the issues in this chapter, some introductory remarks are necessary to set the context. Jamaica is a small, English-speaking island in the Caribbean, and for historical, cultural, geographic, and ethnic reasons, services may have taken a very different form from those in other countries in Latin America. Therefore, information about how the service developed is important.
My original reason for initiating early intervention programs in Jamaica was that, as a physician, I saw the need for bridging the gap between diagnosis and school. Although the inspiration came in 1971 from the Milwaukee Project ( Heber & Garber, 1967), the approach was very much influenced by two mentors. First, the late Dr. G. Allan Roeher, then Director of the National Institute on Mental Retardation in Canada, strongly influenced me with the philosophy of normalization and integration. Second, the pioneering work of Sir Kenneth Standard, then Professor of Social and Preventive Medicine at the University of the West Indies, in primary health care set me on the path of what would eventually become known as community-based rehabilitation.
The primary health care model calls for low-cost service delivery provided by local, community personnel, who perform simple tasks using local resources as far as possible. This has influenced our approach to staff structure and selection, as 75 percent of our staff are recruited from the community.
The focus of this book is children with mild disabilities. Our projects have always included any child with a developmental or behavior prob-

"Forget Me Not," in Seoul, Korea, features the work of 18 SMFA students and alumni. Developed with Carlos Noguera (BFA '07) and co-curated by Joo Lee Kang (MFA '11) and Eunice Choi (MFA '12), the exhibition runs from August 1-23, 2013. We caught up with co-curator Joo Lee Kang, and asked her about the exhibition and her time at SMFA.
How did "Forget Me Not" come about?
When I started at SMFA, there were a few Korean students, and I got along well with the other Asian students. We bonded because of the fact that we had no friends or family nearby. We spent most holidays together and helped each other with our Review Boards and essays. We had always discussed having a group show because there were certain interesting common links in our works and we thought it would be a way that we could keep in touch, share our interests and support each other.
Since most international students go back to their country after graduating, so it's hard to keep in touch. Thanks to many, I settled as an artist in Boston and realized that how much I missed my international friends. As an artist, I knew how much it'd be worth to keep supporting each other and exchanging our stories and experiences.
As time went by, I could feel the ratio of international students in SMFA getting higher and I could actually meet Koreans who were eager for the idea of a reunion group exhibition. I thought it was the time to make it happen. It started with Koreans this time, but I hope it can be expanded to all international or even to all students and alumni and have it be an annual event.
How did other students and alumni get involved?
I started to collect the contact information of Korean students and alumni, I asked around and searched on Facebook, Kakao Talk, word of mouth, and made a list of Korean students and alumni. I emailed them the idea of this group exhibition and had a general call for art.
What was it like co-curating an exhibition?
I'm so glad that we pulled this off. I always had this idea (organizing a group show), but it was hard to find the right moment. Thanks to SMFA and the Alumni Committee, it happened. Stephanie Boyé, the Director of Alumni Relations, really encouraged me a lot; she introduced me to Carlos Noguera (BFA '07), the director of Spahn Gallery and teacher in Dwight School in Seoul. Carlos was delighted to help, and the exhibition happened because of everyone's help. I can't thank everyone enough.
Choosing work for the show was a struggle. I think I could have been a better curator if I could have chosen based on one thing, either theme or quality. I wanted this show to be like a glue for all of us. Eunice Choi (MFA '12) helped a lot with this process. To fulfill the purpose, of reconnecting, communicating, supporting and inspiring each other, we decided to include both current students and alumni.
What have you been up to since graduation?
I graduated in 2011 and stared exhibiting and traveling back and forth between Korea and Boston. I had an exhibition at Gallery NAGA last fall and artist demonstrations at the Museum of Fine Arts this spring. I also taught a drawing course at SMFA this past spring semester and working as a part-time faculty in Seoul Digital University in 2012. Currently, my work is in a group exhibition in Danforth Art Museum until August 4 and I've just returned from Germany for the SMFA Traveling Fellowship. I'm now looking forward to installing and celebrating "Forget Me Not"!
What are your plans for the next year?
It is always hard to answer about the specific future plans as an emerging artist. My biggest plan would be following opportunities! For now, I'll have a group show, "Pedigree," at the New Art Center in Newton and participate in the street piano festival "Play Me, I'm Yours" this September. For next year, I'm anticipating another exhibition at Gallery NAGA and I want to organize the second version of "Forget Me Not."
Thinking back on your time at SMFA, were there any people or classes that were particularly inspiring?
There were a lot of wonderful teachers I've worked with at SMFA. I felt so encouraged and also, challenged. I worked with Gerry Bergstein, Magda Campos-Pons, Erica Daborn, Mark Cooper, Patte Loper, Nan Freeman, David Davison, Charles Goss, David Kelley and I bet I will wake up tomorrow and remember names that I forgot to mention. In addition to faculty, there were my classmates who I'm fond of and admire. I miss the long conversation with teachers and peers in my Mission Hill studio.
How do you feel SMFA prepared you for what you're doing now, and where you want to go?
I would say that coming to SMFA for grad school was one of the most excellent decisions I have ever made. I was just an ambitious art student when I started; I had no idea about the art world and Boston. The people at SMFA were so supportive. They didn't catch me a fish, but taught me how to be patient; to enjoy the work and keep each other company. I'm trying to do my best in my spot and will do my best to keep it up!
Thank you, Joo Lee!

AbstractThis proposed innovative research , code named"Chameleon", will create an insystem field programmable ADC and DAC, both rad-hard and suitable for space and aeronautical applications. Converter designers have traditionally solved point problems starting with a target resolution and bandwidth, and then optimizing power for that application. Power efficiency of these converters suffers significantly when they are operated at reduced bandwidth or resolution. The Chameleon approach begins with a unique and patented Sigma-Delta converter architecture which, by changing modulator coefficients, may be programmed to efficiently trade off bandwidth for resolution. By simultaneously addressing all five of the major determinants of converter performance: modulator coefficients, sampling capacitance, clock rate, bias current, and digital signal processing; this approach delivers an ADC and DAC which will maintain high power efficiency even while being configured across a wide range of bandwidth and resolution settings. The targets will be capable of resolution up to 22 bits and conversion speeds to 5 MSPS (million samples per second) The Phase 1 effort will examine the tradeoffs between broad programmability and complexity, as they affect feasibility, and will deliver simulation models consistent with the recommended structures. Following development phases will result in working silicon.

Gumbet Holidays
Fellow travellers say Gumbet is great for…
The resort of Gumbet is found on the magnificent Aegean coast of Turkey, close to the larger resort of Bodrum. The whole of the Aegean coastline is popular with tourists worldwide, thanks to its pristine beaches, clear blue sea, and consistent sunshine. Another big draw is the Ancient history in which the Aegean coastline is steeped. Bodrum was where the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, used to be before earthquakes destroyed it. Package holidays in Gumbet have become increasingly popular over recent years, especially among young people owing to the town's Club 18-30 resort.
A seafront promenade curves around the picturesque beach in the town, and low-rise whitewashed building extend back into the rolling hills behind Gumbet. On first impressions, you could be forgiven for thinking that package holidays in Gumbet would be a tranquil and relaxing affair, but this is far from the case. During the day tourist are out water skiing, parasailing or jet skiing; though some do prefer to take it easy under the shade of a parasol on the beach.
Holidays in Gumbet are all about fun in the sun by day, and fun in the bars and clubs by night. If it is culture you are after then staying in Bodrum is a better choice. Gumbet has grown considerably thanks to the cash package holiday deals have brought in, so many of the restaurants cater for an international crowd. Curry houses, Italian pizzerias, and fast food joints make regular appearances in the town, but there are also many Turkish kebab stalls and other restaurants serving traditional Mediterranean fare. The nightlife is easy to find here, with the majority of bars and clubs found on the conveniently named 'Bar Street,' so visitors have little chance of missing the action.

In praise of Harding and Classen
"Good schools" (ScissorTales, April 13) exposes the statement of "cherry picking" as a bad thing. Is it really bad? With applications to both Harding Charter Preparatory School and Classen School of Advanced Studies, students are required to send a copy of grades, test scores, letters of recommendation and an attendance and discipline report. It's unreasonable to say that Harding doesn't pick its students based on grades and test scores. Yes, applicants to Classen must take tests in order for the school to pick the best students, but don't colleges do the same thing? To apply at a college you must send in your ACT or SAT score. All Classen is doing is making sure the students they select actually want to be there.
Both schools have chosen a route to get to the top. Harding has Advanced Placement; Classen has chosen Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate. Not everyone at Classen is participating in the IB program. Classen isn't only an academic school but also a performing arts school. They pick the best of the applicants for both parts of the school.
My two older brothers have completed the IB curriculum at Classen and I'm currently a freshman following in their footsteps. I'd like to congratulate the students of both Harding and Classen on making TheBestSchools.org's list of the nation's 50 best schools. They both deserve praise for their accomplishments.

Indian edition. Kensur Yeshe Tupden addresses crucial issues of Buddhist soteriology to provide one of the richest presentations of Tibetan oral philosophy yet published in English.
Does a bodhisattva`s initial direct cognition of emptiness differ from subsequent ones? Can one improve a nondualistic understanding of the unconditioned and, if so, what role might subtle states of concentration play in the process? In material collected by Klein over a seven year period, the Gelugpa lama Kensur Yeshe Tupden answers these questions and Klein`s introduction to his commentary surveys oral genres associated with Tibetan textual study. The volume concludes with a translation of the text on which Kensur bases his discussion of the Perfection of Wisdom chapter in Lama Tsong Khapa`s Illumination of Chandrakirti`s Thought.
"The text that is the subject of Professor Klein`s study is one of the most important in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. Her innovative approach will make the work of interest not only to scholars, for whom it will be essential reading, but more generally to anyone interested in the Tibetan interpretation of emptiness." Jose Cabezon.

Emergency Medical Services – For Current EMS PSO Participants (Password protected page)
PSO Project
Are you a supervisor or manager in EMS? Do you think there is a better way to evaluate "the bad things that happen" rather than just blaming your crew member?
The Center for Patient Safety (CPS) and the Missouri Ambulance Association (MAA) have partnered to bring federal confidentiality and privilege protection to quality and patient safety data to Missouri's emergency medical service ambulance districts, fire-based services, hospital based services, and first-response providers through the CPS Patient Safety Organization (PSO).
Spearheaded by the MAA, and now led by the CPS EMS PSO Advisory Group, this project will bring together a broad base of EMS providers and agencies across the state to work collaboratively to reduce the frequency of serious events and to improve the quality of EMS patient care.
Funded by the Missouri Foundation for Health, our aim is to have at least 50% of Missouri's ambulance services reporting adverse events and quality indicators to the PSO by September of 2012.
What Does This Mean for You?
- A safe haven of federal confidentiality and privilege protection for the data that you send to the PSO.
- A Web-based system for easy reporting, management, and submission of quality indicators and serious events.
- Individual agency performance benchmarking against state comparatives
- Collaboration and knowledge sharing opportunities among EMS providers within Missouri and across the nation, where discussion can take place under legal protection of the PSO.
PSO Participation: What Will My Agency, Service, or Organization Gain?
The Missouri Ambulance Association and many other EMS agencies have been working for years to establish a legally protected, peer review program in Missouri without success.
Working with a federally-listed Patient Safety Organization is now making this possible by
giving EMS agencies the ability to:
- Collect data on adverse events without fear of discovery or subpoena
- Perform analyses of those events, looking for patterns, similarities, etc.
- Comparing data from their local agency to those of others across the state
- Collecting data on EMS quality indicators in a central repository leading to improvements in response times, greater efficiency, and improvements in patient outcomes
The Center for Patient Safety PSO offers a comprehensive set of standard services, including help to:
- Establish processes to maximize federal legal protection
- Guidance on agency policies and procedures for submitting data to the PSO
- Learn how to navigate and enter data in the system
- Receive organization-specific reports
Participating EMS Agencies
The following 16 services are the initial pilot sites who are committed to moving this project forward:
- Adair County Ambulance District
- Andrew County Ambulance District
- Boone Hospital Center Ambulance
- Cape County Private Ambulance
- Central Jackson County Fire Protection District
- Chariton County Ambulance District
- Christian Hospital EMS
- CoxHealth EMS
- Excelsior Springs Fire Protection District
- Hermann Area EMS
- Kansas City EMS/KCFD
- Missouri Baptist – Sullivan Ambulance
- St. Charles County Ambulance District
- St. John's EMS – Springfield
- Taney County Ambulance District
- Warsaw/Lincoln Ambulance District

Communicating Climate Change: Spatial Analog versus Color-Banded Isoline Maps with and without Accompanying Text
Retchless, David Pahl, Cartography and Geographic Information Science
Effective climate change outreach requires a close fit between climate information, its mode of presentation, and its intended audience. This fit is in need of adjustment: among both climate scientists and the public, dissatisfaction with the current state of climate change communication is widespread. According to a fall 2008 survey, 82% of American adults think that they do not have enough information to "form a firm opinion" about global warming (Maibach, Roser-Renouf, and Leiserowitz 2009). Scientists similarly recognize the need to improve communication of the causes and consequences of climate change, with practitioners from environmental sciences (Leiserowitz 2006; Lorenzoni, Nicholson-Cole, and Whitmarsh 2007), geography (Slocum 2004; Moser 2007; Hulme 2008), landscape architecture (Sheppard 2005; Brody et al. 2008), psychology (Gifford 2008), and resilience studies (Tschakert and Dietrich 2010) all calling for better tools and methods for communicating this information to the public. This article considers some explanations for these difficulties communicating climate change information, tests whether spatial analogs can help overcome these difficulties, and assesses the results. It begins with a brief literature review of climate change perceptions and communication.
Climate change perceptions and communication
Barriers to understanding and engagement
Climate scientists' calls for improving climate change communication generally reflect two closely related goals: (1) improving public awareness and understanding of the science of climate change, including causes and impacts; and (2) increasing personal engagement with climate change and its possible impacts (Lorenzoni, Nicholson-Cole, and Whitmarsh 2007). The first goal hews closely to the "deficit model" of scientific communication, which attributes people's skepticism about science to gaps or distortions in their understanding of the relevant scientific facts (Sturgis and Allum 2004). Meanwhile, the second goal suggests a need to move beyond understanding to engagement. Following Lorenzoni, Nicholson-Cole, and Whitmarsh (2007), engagement is defined as one's personal state of cognitive, affective, and behavioral connection with climate change. Communicating to increase engagement thus requires consideration of how scientific information is contextualized by personal experience and societal values in ways that help shape people's thoughts, feelings, and actions (Lorenzoni, Nicholson-Cole, and Whitmarsh 2007). To achieve behavioral engagement, communicators need to go beyond understanding and concern by taking steps to develop the public's motivation and capacity to adapt to and mitigate climate change; as noted in Grothmann and Patt (2005), these efforts must address both perceived self-efficacy and adaptation costs.
Several studies have attempted to explain why many people have difficulty understanding and personally engaging with climate change. Some explanations suggest that scientists have failed to tailor climate change information to their audiences' characteristic modes of thought. For example, the dual process theory posits that people use two modes of thought to understand risks and other stimuli: analytic processing and experiential processing (Evans 2003; Slovic et al. 2004). Analytic processing is more deliberate, consciously employs formal tools such as statistical analysis and algorithms, and is the preferred mode of scientific thought; experiential processing is more immediate, is grounded in imagery and affect, and is often used in intuitive or "spur-of-the-moment" decision making (Slovic et al. 2004). Several authors have therefore suggested that the communication of climate change information could be improved by translating scientists' analytic conclusions into experiential modes, which are potentially more concrete, immediate, and memorable, and thus more likely to prompt behavioral change (Sheppard 2005; Leiserowitz 2006; Marx et al. …

Port of Vancouver commissioners did the right thing when they voted unanimously to allow a lease for a new oil terminal. The U.S. is producing abundant crude oil that is needed to meet world demand for the variety of essential products made from crude oil. No matter what the outcome in Vancouver, Wash., supplies of crude oil are going overseas. It is not a question of "if." The issue is, which port will have the economic benefit, the Port of Vancouver, U.S.A., Vancouver, B.C., or other ports in between?
Opponents of the terminal believe erroneously that this has something to do with "big oil." Not true. The U.S. energy boom is the result of innovations in drilling technology by small- and medium-sized independent exploration companies through trial-and-error over many decades. In many states, they mainly drilled on private land, sharing any success with a large number of landowners standing to receive royalties from crude oil sales. The drillers and the landowners took risks and some were eventually successful, while others failed. Participation by the major oil companies came later.
Those who took risks and succeeded now need to sell their product at the best price. Those opposing them have done absolutely nothing to merit veto power.

Chicago's iconic Southport Corridor blooms to life this summer when Southport Art Festival takes over Waveland and Southport July 16 & 17, 2016. Featured in TimeOut Chicago as one of the "Best Festivals in Town," the event will feature an assorted mix of fine art by day and bumpin' music at night, setting the environment for a picture-perfect Chicago neighborhood street festival.
Festival fans will visit the beautiful tree-lined streets of the picturesque neighborhood. Just steps away from the friendly margins of Wrigley Field, the two-day festival will showcase some of the city's best and most diverse artists. Southport Art Festival will put numerous art forms including oil, acrylic, watercolor, jewelry, sculpture, photography, wood, fiber, glass, paper, metal, and mixed media at center stage all weekend long.
Families will have the opportunity to bring their children, and enjoy all that Southport Art Festival has to offer. A special Kid's area has been designed with interactive games and activities that will make for an unforgettable time.
By evening, we will add a distinct stage for music where some of the Windy City's favorite bands will take over and play everyone's favorite songs from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and today.
Southport Art Festival benefits the Southport Neighbors Association. Since 1988, Southport Neighbors Association (SNA) has represented the residents and businesses of the unique and energetic neighborhood, in the heart of Lakeview. Admission is a $5 suggested donation.
Southport Art Festival is produced and managed by StarEvents in partner with Amdur Productions. Amdur productions, a nationally acclaimed arts festival production company, has organized and directed many of the country's most prestigious art festivals. Currently, many of their festivals are rated in Sunshine Artist magazine's with six appearing in the "Top 50″.

Frostbite and Hypothermia: How to Protect Yourself from the Cold
The idea that your fingers and toes fall off if you get frostbite is a myth; quite often, the worst that happens might be permanent numbness. But you can also wind up with gangrene — and lose a toe or finger or ear or nose — if you're not careful. First, recognize the symptoms of frostbite:
A pins-and-needles sensation, then numbness.
Hard, pale, cold, numb skin. When frostbitten skin has thawed, it becomes red and painful (early frostbite). More severe frostbite results in white and numb skin because the tissue has started to freeze.
If you or someone you're with has frostbite:
1. Get the person to a warmer place. Remove any constricting jewelry and wet clothing.
2. If possible, wrap the affected areas in sterile dressings (remember to separate affected fingers and toes) and get the person to the nearest emergency room.
3. If immediate care is not available, immerse the affected areas in warm — never hot — water or repeatedly apply warm cloths to affected ears, nose, or cheeks for 20-30 minutes. Keep circulating the water to aid the warming process. Warming is complete when the skin is soft and sensation returns.
4. Move thawed areas as little as possible.
5. If the frostbite is extensive, give warm drinks to the victim in order to replace lost fluids.
6. Don't thaw out a frostbitten area if it cannot be kept thawed. Refreezing may make tissue damage even worse. Also, don't use direct dry heat (such as a radiator, campfire, heating pad, or hair dryer). Direct heat can burn already damaged tissues.
7. Don't rub or massage the affected area, or disturb blisters on frostbitten skin.
8. Don't smoke or drink alcohol during recovery, as both can interfere with blood circulation.
Thanks! You're on our list.
