If your organization is planning a rummage sale, then your advertising strategy might include large signs posted around town and good old-fashioned word-of-mouth. But have you thought of using Pinterest to broaden the rummage sale's appeal and drum up interest in potential shoppers? If not, then check out the following tips on how to use Pinterest for your organization's next rummage sale.
A picture is worth a thousand words: When advertising your organization's rummage sale, take pictures of the donated items and pin them to the sale's official Pinterest board. If you have a room crammed with children's toys, then take pictures so that shoppers can see how many items are available for sale. If possible, include the brand names that shoppers can find at your rummage sale. You can also include a range of prices, too, so that customers can budget accordingly.
Show off more unusual sale items: Pinning pictures are great ways to highlight the more unusual or unique items available for sale, too. Are you trying to sell an assortment of pictures or handcrafted pottery? Pin a picture of each item and include as much information as you can about the sale item, including brand, the year it was made, and the sale price.
Find tips on how to display sale items: Displaying sale items on a table is fine, but you can scope out other Pinterest users' boards to find ways to arrange clothing, furniture, jewelry and more in a visually appealing manner. Use search terms like "garage sale" or "rummage sale" to find new ideas on displaying items, as well as creative ways to advertise your rummage sale.
Inform shoppers of how the proceeds will be used: With one board, you can convey to shoppers how they can directly impact your organization by shopping at your organization's rummage sale. If the sale proceeds will be used to fund a certain project or will replace a roof in much-needed repair, then consider pinning pictures of what needs to be repaired or replaced.
Don't wait until the last minute: If it's possible, create a Pinterest account just for your rummage sale at least one month before the sale date. This gives you plenty of time to take pictures and pin items to your board. If you wait until one or two days before the sale to establish your board and add pins, then you might not attract as many shoppers.
Advertise the sale's location: There's a bit more to do with your rummage sale's Pinterest account. At minimum, you should include your organization's full name and website address, as well as the dates and location of your upcoming rummage sale. You can also include where the sale proceeds will be used, an elevator pitch of categories of items available for sale, and any relevant parking or public transportation directions.
Organize sale items on your board: Remember to organize your pins into separate boards based on product category; for example, you could have one board for children's clothing and toys, a second board for kitchenware, and a third board devoted to furniture. If you decide to lump a number of pins representing different sale item categories together, then it may be difficult for shoppers to find what they need at your organization's rummage sale.
After setting up a Pinterest board for your organization's rummage sale, advertise the link to the board via your organization's website and other social media accounts. Finally, remember not to use your personal Pinterest account for your organization's rummage sale. Instead, create an official Pinterest account for your sale.

What Lash Setting Do You Really Want?The first setting a racer should be concerned with is the one recommended by the cam grinder. Let's begin with hydraulic lifter cams. Many mechanics working with stock application vehicles make a preliminary adjustment to get the engine running. Then they allow the lifter to pump up with the engine running and tighten the adjustment just until the rattle stops, then turn the adjuster one more full round. This is not only quieter, but gives the lifter some internal movement that compensates for wear. Racers often do it another way. When rules call for the use of hydraulic lifters, other methods of adjustment can slightly increase performance. Hydraulic lifters need oil pressure to work. Setting them can be done with the engine on or off. Spin the oil pump to pressurize the lifter.
What you want is zero lash, which takes full advantage of the cam's lift. Because there is no feeler gauge that is zero thickness, other means must be used to achieve this setting. Don't substitute hydraulics for solid lifters because the hydraulic lifter will leak down slightly or not hold against valvespring pressure.
To get zero lash with the engine off, the lifter must be pressurized. Do this by spinning the oil pump with a driver, usually a drill or air ratchet. Twirl the pushrod with your fingers until the adjuster tightens it. Stop there.
I have used this method with the engine running when adjusting hydraulics. It can be used on any engine using a threaded rocker stud. When using stock Chevy 1.5 rockers (actually somewhere around 1.46:1 ratio), I can set the clearance, engine running, at 0.016 inch. Then by turning the hex adjusting nut one flat, I am at zero lash. When you have other rocker arm ratios such as a true 1.5:1 or a 1.6:1, you will need to establish the measurement for your ratio.
I did this by sacrificing an old pushrod. I cut off several inches on one end and then welded on a washer to keep it in place. Now the pushrod has a solid stop that is not dependent on the lifter. I set the lash to 0.005 inch, backed the adjuster nut off exactly one flat, and checked the lash, which read 0.021 inch. Note the difference (0.016 inch, in my case) between the two measurements. Now set the lash to this distance (0.016). Turn the adjuster nut one flat to achieve zero lash. Do this several times to make sure you're getting the correct measurement. Remove the test pushrod. Then set all of your valves to your established measurement and turn each adjuster nut one flat.
Setting the lash with solid lifters only requires the lash to be set with the recommended feeler gauge. The engine need not be running nor have oil pressure pumped up.
Many solid lifters look like hydraulics. These have an insert with a snap ring. To be sure that you have a solid lifter, use a soft tool and press on the lifter insert. If it compresses, it is hydraulic; if it doesn't move, it is a solid.
When setting lash on engines with used stock rocker arms, you should check the condition of the face of the rocker that contacts the valve. This face often has a groove worn by the valve. With this groove present, the feeler gauge will give you false readings. Additionally, if the rockers have been removed and re-installed in locations other than the original on the same head, the grooves won't align with the valves. This means the valve stem will be cutting a new groove in an already used rocker arm.
Aftermarket full roller or roller tip rocker arms have a roller bearing where the tip contacts the valve stem. Using these prevents a groove from being worn in the rocker. There can also be a reduction in friction, especially with strong racing valvesprings.

Nimitz Drive-In
1 person favorited this theater
Opened in the early-1960's near the the Fremont Dragstrip. A second screen was added in the mid-1960's. This drive-in mostly showed exploitation and even adult films. Closed in the early-1980's, office buildings were built on the site. Today a shopping center is on the site.
Recent comments (view all 7 comments)
This Drive-in was operated by the Enea Brothers, who owned numerous Drive-ins and movie houses throughout the Bay Area. If you're driving around in Northern California, and you see the Enea name on a shopping center or complex, you can bet that the site once housed a theatre or Drive-in.
The Nimitz was featured as a background in the Dragstrip scenes in "American Graphitti 2".
The dragstrip scenes in American Graffitti 2 were filmed at the Fremont Dragstrip down the street. Ironically, the drive-in was closed by then.
Update—A new shopping center is now on the drive-in site.
There are some photos on drive-ins.com:
1979 aerial at View link
Approx. address for this drive-in was 44000 Christy St.
BTW, this was open past '73. My father worked at the GM plant across the highway (then known as Hwy 17).
From 1958 until 1983 Hwy 17 (from San Jose to Oakland) was also known as the Nimitz Freeway, hence the name of the drive in.

Cardiff Medical Officer reports (19th-20th C.)
Annual reports by the Cardiff Medical Officer on the state of public health in the city, for the years 1853-1926. Reports refer to the City of Cardiff (and often break down data into individual districts), the School system, and the Docks.
The level of detail contained in the reports grew substantially over time. Early reports provide census-style data on birth rates, death rates, marriages, infant mortality, housing conditions, deaths in public institutions, violent deaths, and details of incidences of disease and death broken down by cause, age and sex. Causes of death were often compared with data from rural areas, other large towns, or England, enabling comparative studies. Meteorological data was also gathered, as it was long thought that climate was responsible for the outbreak and spread of certain diseases.
From the 1870s, reports are expanded to refer to specific diseases, such as small pox, measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough, tuberculosis and cholera.
From the 1890s, reports start to interrogate birth-rate data in more detail, providing marital status by age, causes of infant mortality, and breakdowns of legitimate and illegitimate births by Cardiff district, including the Union workhouse. From 1902 there are reports relating to the Midwives Act 1902 and from 1908, the Notification of Births Act 1907.
From 1914, specific information is provided on maternity and child welfare, including: notifications of births and still births, child welfare consultations, ante-natal consultations, dental clinic, maternity hospitals, domiciliary visits by health visitors, supply of free milk, training of midwives, midwives practicing in Cardiff, medical practitioners called in by midwives, home nursing, home helps, homeless children, and venereal disease.
From 1923, reports are provided relating to the Mental Deficiency Act 1913, including classification of known cases, and summaries of cases in institutions, under guardianship or under supervision at home.
Date range: 19th-20th century
Size: 2 metres
Languages: English
Keywords: History of medicine, disease, housing conditions, mental illness, maternity, women's studies, midwifery, workhouses, climate, child welfare
Notes: See also Wales Local Reports – General board of Health, 1848-1857

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- An Opp man accused of killing his 4-year-old nephew has been sentenced to life in prison.
WAKA-TV reports that 28-year-old John C. Davis was sentenced Wednesday after he pleaded guilty in the July 2010 killing of Curtis Ruede.
Davis was originally charged with capital murder. Authorities had said he fatally shot his nephew with a pellet gun because he dropped a checker piece on his foot.
In addition to being sentenced to life in prison, Davis was also ordered to pay restitution for his nephew's burial expenses and $5,000 to the Crime Victim's Compensation Fund.

The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go. . . .
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go. . . .
Inside the veins there are navies setting forth,
Tiny explosions at the waterlines,
And seagulls weaving in the wind of the salty blood. . . .
For a saving grace, we didn't see our dead,
Who rarely bothered coming home to die
But simply stayed away out there . . .
The telephone never rings. Still
you pick it up, smile into the static,
the breath of those you've loved; long dead. . . .
Two women on the lone wet strand
(The wind's out with a will to roam)
The waves wage war on rocks and sand, . . .
At times it is like watching a face you have just met,
trying to decide who it reminds you of—
no one, surely, whom you ever hated or loved, . . .
We used to like talking about grief
Our journals and letters were packed
with losses, complaints, and sorrows. . . .
What the scale tells you is how much the earth
has missed you, body, how it wants you back
again after you leave it to go forth . . .
The well rising without sound,
the spring on a hillside,
the plowshare brimming through deep ground . . .
The concept is interesting: to see, as though reflected
In streaming windowpanes, the look of others through
Their own eyes. A digest of their correct impressions of . . .

Engineering Technology
What is IET?
What You Can Do
Employer Perspective
Industrial Engineering Technology (IET) is about determining the most effective ways to use people, machines, materials, and information to make a product or to provide a service.
As companies adopt management philosophies of continuous productivity and quality improvement to survive in the increasingly competitive world market, the need for Industrial Engineering Technologists is growing.
Industrial Engineering Technologists figure out how to do things better. They engineer processes and systems that improve quality and productivity. They work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, energy, and other commodities and therefore save companies money.
This program is accredited by TAC (Technology Accreditation Commission) of ABET. The ABET accreditation is used to assure quality in educational institutions and programs. Accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental process of peer review. It requires an educational institution or program to meet defined standards or criteria.
Students begin the Industrial Engineering Technology program by studying fundamentals of raw materials and manufacturing processes along with computer aided drafting and design. Then, they learn principles of problem solving and data analysis. Later courses like plant layout, material handling, quality control, work measurement and ergonomics along with industrial experimentation prepare students for the development of effective and efficient processes and systems.
Throughout their studies, students undertake projects drawn from businesses or their personal lives. The project work allows them to apply their newly developed skills and gain some genuine experience.
Engineers and Engineering Technologists are often called by similar titles or even the same titles. They often work in the same organizations at the same kinds of tasks. In common practice, the work of both engineers and engineering technologists are called the "field of engineering." Hence, job titles for both are often just "engineer."
Engineers typically take more courses in math and physics and develop a deeper view of the theory than Engineering Technologists.
Engineering Technologists gain a broader perspective of business enterprises by taking a variety of technology related courses and apply theory as well as practical experience to decision making and problem solving.
The career potential for graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering Technology is excellent.
The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that "Industrial engineers are expected to have employment growth of 20 percent over the projections decade, faster than the average for all occupations.
As firms look for new ways to reduce costs and raise productivity, they increasingly will turn to industrial engineers to develop processes that are more efficient and reduce costs, delays, and waste. This should lead to job growth for these engineers, even in manufacturing industries with slowly growing or declining employment overall.
Because their work is similar to that done in management occupations, many industrial engineers leave the occupation to become managers. Many openings will be created by the need to replace industrial engineers who transfer to other occupations or leave the labor force."
From U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook
Industrial Engineering Technology is different from other engineering technology functions. You do not sit at a desk all day. You work with other engineers, managers, supervisors, customers, and suppliers. You may also interface with craftspeople and operational employees.
Our students have the unique opportunity to gain Six Sigma Green Belt and/or Black Belt certification, which will give them a competitive edge when starting their careers.
The certification will guarantee future employers that graduates will have proficiency in using a disciplined process and statistical techniques to achieve near perfect processes. It also guarantees that students have actually applied the methods and techniques successfully and caused a positive impact to the bottom-line of an organization.
The mission of the industrial engineering technology program is to provide theory-based curriculum with applied learning experiences resulting in a competent and diverse engineering technologist. Graduates are multi-skilled to work in a team environment, prepared to become an integral part of world-class organizations. Faculty and students continuously engage in applied research and problem solving for our varied constituents.
The Industrial Engineering Technology program at Missouri Southern will produce graduates who:

Box Score | UCLA Softball on Twitter | Video Recap
LOS ANGELES - Sophomore Alyssa Tiumalu and freshman Stephany LaRosa each homered, and the 17th-ranked Bruins took advantage of seven Arizona walks and two errors leading to six unearned runs, as UCLA knocked off the 13th-ranked Wildcats 10-4 on Friday at Easton Stadium.
The Bruins improve to 34-15 overall and 10-9 in Pac-12 play, while the Wildcats fall to 32-15 and 9-10 in league action.
LaRosa (three RBI) and Tiumalu (two RBI) each had a pair of hits. Seniors Samantha Camuso and Andrea Harrison both drove in a pair of runs.
Sophomore Jessica Hall went the distance in the circle to improve to 17-10 on the season. She struck out six and retired the first seven batters of the contest, allowing four runs, six hits and two walks.
The Bruins got on the board first with a run in the third. With one out, UCLA loaded the bases when sophomore Talee Snow reached on an error by Arizona shortstop Shelby Pendley, senior Katie Schroeder singled to right and LaRosa got on via a single after the pop up landed in between the Wildcat center and right fielders. Harrison followed with a single up the middle to score Snow to make it 1-0, but Schroeder would be thrown out at home when she ran through the stop sign at third. A walk to junior B.B. Bates reloaded the bases, but Kenzie Fowler struck out senior Dani Yudin to end the inning.
Arizona took the lead in the top of the fourth. With one out, Brigette Del Ponte doubled to right and came home one out later on a homer to left off the bat of Lini Koria to make it 2-1.
The Bruins came back with four in their half of the fourth to retake the lead. With one out, Tiumalu crushed her second homer of the season to left to tie the score at two. Sophomore Kellie Fox followed with a double to left-center, and one out later, Schroeder was hit by a pitch. LaRosa then smashed her team-best 16th homer of the season to center to give the home team a 5-2 lead.
Arizona cut its deficit to one in the top of the sixth. With one out, Del Ponte singled to left and Pendley homered to right to make it 5-4.
UCLA broke it open in the sixth, sending 10 to the plate and scoring five times. Fox led off with a walk and Snow reached when her sacrifice attempt was thrown into center field by third baseman Del Ponte. One out later, a walk to LaRosa loaded the bases and another free pass issued to Harrison brought in Fox to make it 6-4. Bates then lined out to center, but freshman Sam Duran, who was running for Snow, tagged up and scored for the sacrifice fly for the Bruins' seventh run. A walk to Yudin reloaded the bases and Camuso followed with a single up the middle to plate LaRosa and Harrison to make it 9-4. Freshman Tara Mueller, who was running for Yudin, took third on Camuso's single and scored on a single to right by Tiumalu to make it 10-4.
The Bruins continue their weekend series with Arizona on Saturday at 6 p.m. Gametracker and free audio will be available at UCLABruins.com, as well as live updates at twitter.com/uclasoftball.

Game of the Day: Arsenal 2 SAFC 2
by Ashley Houghton
Phillips and McCann cap comeback.
Arsenal 2 Sunderland 2
30 December 2000
The Black Cats came from two goals down to earn a point against Arsenal at Highbury in December of the Millennium year.
Patrick Vieira and Lee Dixon scored for the hosts before a Kevin Phillips penalty and a Gavin McCann wonder strike secured a point for Peter Reid's side.
Sunderland's sensational comeback put a huge dent in the Gunners' title bid as Manchester United went on to win the 2000-01 Premiership title.
It wasn't exactly an ideal start for the visitors as Vieira headed Robert Pires' corner home on five minutes despite Michael Gray's best efforts in preventing the ball going over the line.
Thomas Sorensen made a string of fine saves to prevent the hosts from doubling their advantage, first from Thierry Henry and then Nwankwo Kanu.
However, Arsenal doubled their lead five minutes before half time; Henry's wonderful cross was missed by Freddie Ljungberg but fell to Dixon who curled a right-footed effort into the bottom corner of Sorensen's goal.
The Black Cats reacted well after the restart and were handed, quite literally, a way back into the game as Vieira was adjudged to have handled Niall Quinn's shot inside the area leaving Phillips to fire home the spot kick.

My brother and I share this gun. we split the cost 50 50. thats why it says i did not buy this. This airsoft rifle has made me king of the backyard and prince of the airsoft arena. (my cousin has a 300 dollar gun, sooo....) anyway this gun is incredible in backyard wars with neighbors, and pretty good in arenas and such. the only con is the stock. you will feel like it is going to break all the time. I solved the problem by cutting the stock off. its to big anyway. if i could do 4.5 as a rating i would, but since i cant, 5 out of 5.

In 2003, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) implemented a single duty-hour standard nationwide. The evidence to date suggests that this neither improved nor worsened patient outcomes. In June 2010, the ACGME proposed a new set of duty-hour standards for implementation in July 2011. The main disadvantage of this approach is that there is no ability to determine whether different standards would have worked better to reduce resident fatigue while improving patient safety. Many unanswered questions remain about how to design duty-hour standards, but relatively little evidence exists. In addition, the same approach may not work in all specialties and all hospitals. A more flexible, dynamic policy that emphasizes ongoing testing and evaluation would be more likely to achieve improvements in clinical and educational outcomes.
In 2003, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) adopted duty-hour standards for all specialties. Five years later, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) convened a Committee on Optimizing Graduate Medical Trainee (Resident) Hours and Work Schedules to Improve Patient Safety, whose report indicated that there was a paucity of data about how to optimize duty hours for physicians in training (1). Several studies by our research team and others evaluated the effect of the 2003 duty-hour rules on patient outcomes, including deaths, readmissions, prolonged hospital stays, and complications, and found no consistent evidence of statistically significant improvement or worsening in outcomes (2–7). However, these studies could retrospectively evaluate only the single set of duty-hour standards that was implemented nationwide. These studies also could not address the inherent variability in training methods and implementation challenges across specialties and types of programs.
At the request of Congress in 2007, the IOM requested the Committee on Optimizing Graduate Medical Trainee (Resident) Hours and Work Schedules to Improve Patient Safety to "evaluate current evidence on the topic and to develop strategies to optimize work schedules … while maintaining the necessary educational experience to ensure long-term patient safety after trainees are on their own" (1). The committee report offered a well-balanced and thoughtful assessment of the status quo and suggested rapid implementation of its recommendations. Although strong evidence from laboratory studies links sleep deprivation to impaired cognitive performance and epidemiologic evidence links postcall fatigue to vehicular crashes and occupational injuries (8–9), the IOM report highlighted continuing uncertainty about how to translate these findings into health care delivery and training settings. For example, the centerpiece of the IOM committee recommendations—that residents on extended-duty overnight shifts be given a "mandatory nap period" of 5 hours or more—has been the subject of very limited testing and has never been shown to be feasible or effective in health care settings (10–11). The benefits of shorter shifts, in terms of decreased fatigue, may or may not outweigh the risks of more handoffs and cross-coverage, even in light of the recent research on how to make these handoffs safer (12–13). Finally, reducing work hours may compromise the resident training experience, leading to less well-trained physicians or an increase in the duration of training. Ericsson (14) has described the importance of "deliberate practice" to improve professional performance; this concept entails giving trainees tasks with well-defined goals, providing motivation to improve, offering timely feedback, and ensuring ample repetition and reinforcement.
In June 2010, the ACGME proposed new duty-hour standards for implementation in July 2011 (15). Although the proposed ACGME recommendations steer clear of mandating naps, intern shifts are limited to a total of 16 hours. This recommendation is largely based on evidence from a single trial that indicated that eliminating 24-hour shifts improved patient safety in an intensive care unit (16). The generalizability of these findings is uncertain because the hazards of discontinuity of care were probably mitigated by a nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 in the intensive care environment, whereas the nurse-to-patient ratio may be as high as 1:8 on regular medical or surgical units. In the latter setting, the detrimental effects of hand-offs and cross-coverage (17) may outweigh the benefits of reduced fatigue among housestaff. It is also unknown whether 16-hour shifts would affect quality of care differentially across specialties, perhaps due to differences in the temporal distribution of admissions and discharges and the nature of the tasks required (that is, cognitive vs. procedural). Finally, it is noteworthy that the innovative work schedule at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, was deliberately discontinued when the experiment ended, so its long-term efficacy cannot be determined (1).
Our purpose is not to critique the choice of 16-hour shifts for interns. Although we acknowledge the difficulty in defining duty-hour standards for the entire profession, we are concerned that a similar one-size-fits-all approach, as in 2003, is being taken without adequate consideration of alternatives that might achieve similar objectives. If one set of duty-hour standards is implemented nationwide with no testing of alternative approaches, then 5 years from now we will be able to assess only whether patient outcomes changed after implementation of the new standards. Any such comparison will be confounded by contemporaneous changes in clinical practice that affect teaching hospitals. We will not know whether the new duty-hour standards were better than potential alternatives at improving patient outcomes, resident training, and quality of life. As we have previously argued, not enough is known for any single alternative to be universally embraced as the "optimal" approach to duty-hour reduction in all settings (18). It is important that any changes be critically assessed, with an emphasis on designing interventions to allow careful evaluation of their relative costs and benefits.
We fully accept the principles set forth by the ACGME's task force: Patients must be safe and receive excellent care; outstanding education needs to be delivered today to ensure that trainees are capable of providing unsupervised care in the future; and a humanistic educational environment should nurture professionalism and the effacement of self-interest (19). However, these principles could be translated into standards in several ways while recognizing the risks of sleep deprivation and circadian misalignment and also attending to concerns about continuity, workload, and other factors that affect safety. For example, a recent survey of 429 program directors in medicine, pediatrics, and surgery reported that 56% strongly disagree and 23% moderately disagree with the proposal to limit duty periods for interns to 16 hours, with striking differences of opinion between surgical educators and educators in medicine and pediatrics (20). Therefore, a preferred alternative to the one-size-fits-all approach would be for the ACGME to offer a few acceptable alternatives for which there is suggestive evidence. Examples of potential alternatives could include 16-hour shifts for interns, which were shown to reduce errors in the medical intensive care setting but proved locally unsustainable (16); 5-hour mandatory naps on extended duty overnight shifts, similar to what was recommended in the IOM report (1); flexibility in the number of consecutive hours of duty, based on specialty- and program-specific workflows (that is, in some surgical specialties, emergency admissions are rare, teamwork is especially critical, and immediate perioperative care may extend longer than 16 hours); and no change from the present.
Each residency review committee could be given a choice of either adopting 16-hour shifts (if that is agreed on) or encouraging residency programs in its specialty to accept randomization to 1 of these alternatives for the next 3 years. Nonrandom allocation to alternative schemes for resident work-hour management could also be considered, although we would highly recommend some form of randomization. Nonrandom assignment would have the obvious disadvantage of producing weaker evidence on effectiveness. However, concerns about randomization should not be a barrier to providing the flexibility needed for training programs to test reasonable alternatives. The main advantage to a system that encourages the rigorous testing of alternatives would be that we will have more information 5 years from now about which alternative was optimal in which circumstances. Medicare and all-payer data could be used to evaluate risk-adjusted patient outcomes, with either programs or residency review committees required to collect standardized measures of case volume, educational outcomes, occupational hazards for residents, relevant patient experience, and resident quality of life.
Given the cost and very limited evidence of benefit of the work-hour rules that were adopted in 2003, we suggest that the medical profession seriously consider a plan that allows for systematic testing of several alternatives going forward. Schedule reform, just as any other therapeutic intervention, should be implemented widely only after robust pilot testing suggests that a particular plan is better than competing alternatives. Other approaches that specific residency review committees view as viable alternatives may exist and should be considered as well. Although the proposed ACGME standards were approved in September 2010 for planned implementation in July 2011, we are optimistic that this will be an iterative process with a robust dialogue involving all stakeholders, in which it will never be too late for good ideas to be considered. For example, the Association of American Medical Colleges has already expressed a similar interest in rigorous, multi-institutional evaluation studies to provide an appropriate evidence base for evolving standards (21). The American Hospital Association has emphasized the importance of phasing in the implementation of any new standards to provide time for necessary planning and budgeting (22).
The proposed ACGME plan does not provide any incentives for needed innovation; indeed, we fear that its regulatory mandates will stifle innovation. The alternatives we suggest would not be any more expensive than what the ACGME has proposed, so additional incentives for accredited programs to participate would not be required, but resources would be needed to fund rigorous evaluation by third parties other than the ACGME. As the IOM recommended in 2008, "the ACGME should convene a meeting of stakeholders and potential funders to set priorities for research and evaluation … the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and other funders should support this work as a high priority."
Five years ago, with the specter of federal legislation looming, the ACGME implemented duty-hour standards nationally without any data that the rules adopted would be likely to improve patient safety. The preponderance of the evidence suggests that the 2003 rules neither worsened nor improved quality of care and patient safety (2–7), even as new evidence from related disciplines has reinforced concerns about the risk for burnout and the effects of fatigue on physician performance and safety. New approaches to the problem are therefore necessary. However, implementing a single approach nationally means that only 1 alternative can be evaluated. As a society, we will be better off 5 years from now if several different initiatives are tested and rigorously evaluated using the questions highlighted in the IOM report as a conceptual foundation. As in many domains of clinical practice, a more flexible, dynamic policy that emphasizes creativity, innovation, and ongoing evaluation seems like the path most likely to achieve substantial improvements in clinical and educational outcomes.

Jesse Shoemaker is moving on and Darrell Gascho is taking over.
Darrell Gascho has been wanting to get back in the restaurant business and now he's got a new gig.
He takes over Monday, March 3, as the head cook at Constant Spring, 219 S. Main St., Goshen.
Jesse Shoemaker has been in that role and elevated the level of food and flavor coming out of the small kitchen at the bar that serves local and organic salads, sandwiches and ethnic food alongside its craft beer.
He's moving on to run the kitchen at the new Goshen Brewing Co. when it opens this fall. Until then, he's going to help at Venturi.
Gascho returns to the food business after some church and consulting work. He worked in the kitchens for Checkerberry Inn and Bread & Chocolate before overseeing the food prep at The Electric Brew and Maple City Market.
Gascho and Shoemaker said they're excited about the new ventures and Aaron Nafziger, who owns the Spring, is excited to find someone like Gascho, who has talked often in recent years about his love for feeding people.
He can cook well. His chicken satay with peanut sauce is one of the best versions of that I've had. The salted chocolate chip cookies he made for a reception at the Launchpad, where The Elkhart Truth and other businesses share work space, were simply great.
He said he wants to make simple food with complex flavors. And he has a passion for local food and wants to deepen the connection between local farms and what goes on the plate at the Spring.
The menu will stay the same at first, but he'll develop his own dishes eventually. "I think we'll see some creative, fun, new stuff," Nafziger said.
Gascho said there will be a learning curve, but he doesn't expect it to be too steep. "I've never worked in a restaurant though that served hamburgers and french fries. I have some things to learn," he said.
I'm just glad that Shoemaker and Gascho, who are both talented cooks, will be making interesting food in Goshen.

I've long been critical of the great, and outlandish lengths that cork producers seem to go to create negative sentiment towards alternative wine closures, and to promote their own products as the only real choice.
I thought they had stooped about as low as they could go when they suggested that buying wine closed with screwcaps was killing an endangered species, but now they've outdone themselves with their latest series of ads.
In a remarkable feat of crass and loathsome marketing, the cork lobby has managed to both insult the intelligence of women, and every wine lover that has ever bought a bottle wine with an alternative closure.
Clever to be sure. Full of great little moments, like the drooping cork, and lines like "swarthy Portuguese farmers". And totally based in reality, right? Of course. Women are so shallow as to decide who they sleep with based on wine closures.
And then there's this one:
Yep, ladies, open that screwcap and you're a "conniving, brown nosing, ambitious wench.. back stabbing, double porking (?) amoral, trixie... corporate lackey to the big oil companies that poison our air and birth those devil screwcaps."
While you're ridiculing the intelligence of women, why not take the opportunity to throw "the public sector" under the bus, too?
There's just so many things wrong with these ads. Starting with Mr. Garth Lockwood "Master Sommelier" (who by the way, does not appear anywhere in the list of actual Master Sommeliers). This image of the haughty, upper class wine snob is exactly what keeps more Americans from enjoying wine, fearful as they are of making some sort of faux pas, like mis-pronouncing Merlot. You'd think that an industry whose vital interests depended upon more people drinking wine might want to encourage it, rather than add more anxiety onto the pile that keeps people from embracing wine more fully.
Then there's the implication that any wine closed with an alternative stopper is inferior. Let's humiliate all the folks that can really only afford wines closed with something other than an expensive natural cork, shall we? That will do wonders for the wine world.
Oh, and not only will we make them feel like cheapskates, let's try to make them feel worse, by suggesting that not only are they buying inferior wine that will make people think less of them, but they're also going to be poisoning the planet.
What a load of crap. Sure, cork is a renewable resource. But it's also a massive industrial product that produces an awful lot of waste both in terms of chemicals and carbon dioxide. Less than screwcaps? Perhaps, and certainly corks are more biodegradable. But we're not talking about the difference between solar power and coal here.
And where does this notion that the big oil companies are responsible for "birthing those devil screwcaps" come from? Last time I checked most of them were aluminum. Sure, there's a liner that's a petroleum product, but I guess big oil is a better punching bag these days.
Clearly a lot of money is being spent here. I can't help but wonder what the cork industry is thinking. Sure, they're in a pickle (of their own making) that has demand for cork dropping. But certainly there has to be a better way to promote your product than insulting people and making highly specious arguments about how competitive products are environmental disasters.
And finally, let's just look at the principle at work here. Behind this "classy" front of Mr. Garth Lockwood, the cork industry is engaging in what is essentially the most un-classy kind of marketing. The kind where your main efforts involve the denigration of your competitor. That's the real faux pas.
I used to have only one thing against cork -- its failure rate. But the cork industry has been working on that, and apparently it's getting better. Good for them. But every ad like this helps me celebrate a little bit more every time I twist off a screwcap or unplug a glass stopper.

It's a Wonderful Life is not just one of the greteat holiday movies of all time – it is one of the all time best movies period!
The story behind It's a Wonderful Life begins when Frank Capra returned to Hollywood from his service in the Army during World War II, he was a colonel and had been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. He had left Hollywood, one of its foremost directors, to make films at home and abroad for the War Department. He worked on all seven pictures in the Why We Fight series, including the Oscar-winning Prelude to War; another series beginning with Know Your Ally and Know Your Enemy; the Army-Navy Screen Magazine; The Negro Soldier in World War II; The Battle of Britain; Two Down and One to Go; and several other films which he codirected. Now, in the spring of 1945, he was a civilian once again, back in Hollywood looking for a new project. Together with three other colonels who had seen service in the war—William Wyler, George Stevens, and Samuel Briskin—he formed Liberty Films, of which he was President; and the company committed itself to make nine pictures for release through RKO/Radio.
As of yet, Capra had no film in mind to make as his first for Liberty Films.
One day Charles Koerner, head of production at RKO, came to his office to tell him about an original story, "The Greatest Gift," which he had purchased for RKO from Philip Van Doren Stern. It had been written as a Christmas card to be mailed to Stern's friends, but Koerner saw a full feature film in its few paragraphs, bought it, and had already spent a fortune hiring three writers—Dalton Trumbo, Marc Connelly, and Clifford Odets—to make a screenplay of the story. So far none of their efforts had come to fruition, and Koerner wanted Capra to read the story and see what he thought. Capra read it and was overjoyed; it seemed to him to be the story he had been looking for all his life. Liberty bought "The Greatest Gift" for the fifty thousand dollars Koerner had paid for it, and Koerner threw in the three previous screenplays as part of the bargain. Capra, however, wanted a fresh start; he hired Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett as writers, and later wrote some scenes on his own. The new title for the venture was It's a Wonderful Life.

Johnny Manziel has spoken, on Jan. 8, 2014, regarding his decision to enter the NFL. And he chose to do so in an open letter to "All My Friends in Aggieland" that was sent to Billy Liucci, sports writer and co-owner of the rabid Aggie fan forum TexAgs.com. The link to the letter was tweeted by Liucci at 2:47 p.m. CST and advertised as "FREE" content, "To the 12th Man: A personal message from Johnny Manziel." Once again, the power of instant gratification and dissemination of information via social media scooped all other standard media portals that have been considered prominent and preeminent for decades. They're all old-school now.
The TexAgs web site was so overwhelmed with hits on that single link that it crashed the TexAgs.com web site, and was unavailable for several minutes. So TexAgs tweeted the full content of the letter at 3:07 p.m., just to make sure everyone could see it.
The letter should be read on the portal in which it appeared and for who it was intended. Manziel thanked the "school, his teammates, Coach Sumlin, Chancellor Sharp and the fans" and concluded with
I promise you I will always be an Aggie. I will always try to make you as proud of me in the NFL as I did at Texas A&M.
Read his full message here.
Manziel then retweeted the TexAgs link to his message of thanks and has let that stand as his message to the 12th Man. Now, he's given a full interview to CBS, shared by Bruce Feldman on the CBS sports web site here. Manziel told Feldman:
I'm ready to become a professional and dedicate myself to making my dream a reality of becoming the best quarterback I can be.
Feldman also notes that Manziel is "moving to San Diego to train with private quarterbacks coach George Whitfield to get ready for the NFL Combine and personal workouts with teams."
In just 10 minutes' time, there were already 188 comments on Feldman's story, but the majority of the comments were not from the 12th Man of Texas A&M and were not as supportive as all those on the TexAgs.com forum are, the kind that forced the TexAgs server to crash with everyone joyfully weighing in on Manziel's behalf.
It's a busy day in social media thanks to the Aggie quarterback of a century, No. 2, Johnny Manziel. And really the buzz is just beginning.

The Houston Livestock show and Rodeo is a BIG deal in Houston. Events this year include: March 10th Salute to Our Troops, March 11th Llama and Alpaca Parade, March 15th Paint the Rodeo Pink, March 2nd – 21st the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and even an April 24th Golf Tournament (see the calendar of events for the entire listing).
Houston Livestock show and Rodeo: http://www.hlsr.com/
There is one part of the Livestock show and Rodeo that is truly bothersome: "Cowboy days" at the majority of offices throughout our city. Yes, I support the Houston Livestock show/Rodeo and have eaten my fair share of deep-fried Twinkies and funnel cakes, but… do I really have to dress up as a cowboy at work?
REAL cowboys: castrate cattle, check the breeding capabilities of their stock, spit tobacco, and drink copious amounts of beer. They take their Wrangler jeans and shirts to the dry cleaners to get double and triple amounts of starch added to ensure creases in their clothing that can cut flesh. Real cowboys carry knives, ropes, and gloves…'cuz you never know when you'll need any of these items. But, contrary to popular belief, real cowboys do NOT wear extra-tight jeans. Can you imagine mounting a horse when you can't swing your leg up and over without self-inflicting prostate wounds?
My boss will not allow me to do ANY of these activities in my office.
FAKE cowboys: Were once cheerleaders at Andover and used their ranch for political purpose (then moved to an exclusive neighborhood in Dallas afterward to avoid "dealing with" the ranch!). Fake cowboys do not wear trucker hats and greasy t-shirts. They use hairspray. Real cowboys dance to Garth, Conway, and a myriad of country & western music. They two-step, they do not line-dance. Fake cowboys dance to Britney Spears, Lady GaGa and do the "Electric Slide". Fake cowboys do not have much of a "package" and can therefore wear jeans as tight as a second layer of skin. They will almost never be in a hurry to remove them, so it's not really an issue.
At work, if you asked a real cowboy to do a task, he's reply, "Yes Ma'am" with the utmost respect and get the job done. A fake cowboy might whine about it, add it to their PDA or ask their executive assistant to schedule a project meeting to discuss the matter.
Not only is it difficult to deal with clients dressed as a fake cowboy at work, but it is also demeaning. The UPS guy giggles at my neck scarf. My $10 cowboy hat, purchased at Toys 'R Us, has a defective string, which requires continuous tying. The plastic 6-shooters attached to my belt get snagged on desk drawers.
Then there's the matter of "Cowboy day's" luncheon. Why must we eat SO many recipes with beans? It's not funny. Instead of everyone being sleepy 1 hour after lunch, limiting productivity, the office suffers from a gaseous cloud that creates: watering eyes, extended bathroom stall waiting times and even random gagging. There is no logical reason that a celebration of our city's big event should lead to an increase in office sick days.
This year, I'm prepared. If my office insists on dressing to support the HLSR…I'm going as Mary J. Blige (sponsored by Kroger – March 5th, 2010).

Amblyraja hyperborea
|Scientific Name:
|Amblyraja hyperborea
|Species Authority:
|(Collett 1879)
|Regional Assessments:
Common Name(s):
Raja hyperborea Collett, 1879
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Eschmeyer, W.N. (ed.). 2015. Catalog of Fishes. Updated 5 March 2015. Available at: http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/ichthyology/catalog/fishcatmain.asp. (Accessed: 5 March 2015).
|Taxonomic Notes:
|This species can be confused with other Amblyraja species with different distributions, such as Amblyraja georgiana (M. Stehmann pers. comm). In the northwest Atlantic, it is easily confused with Jensen' s skate (A. jenseni). Refer to Bigelow and Shroeder (1953), Jensen (1948) and Stehman and Burkel (1984).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1

|Dulvy, N.K.D., Haywood, M. & Valenti, S.V. (Shark Red List Authority)
A deepwater skate very widely distributed, found in the North Atlantic, Southwest and East Pacific and off southern Australia in the East Indian Ocean. Occurs from 260 to 2,500 m, primarily at depths greater than most fisheries along lower continental slopes and therefore has apparently limited interaction with human threats. There is no current fishery interest. Reaches a maximum size of about 1 m, and appears to live exclusively at temperatures below 4º C. Very little is known of the life history parameters, although this is a medium to large skate, which may be exhibit similar characters to other unproductive deepwater skates. In the northwest Atlantic, this species has been taken occasionally in research trawls and in deepwater commercial fisheries off Canada. Caught commonly during surveys on the slope of the eastern Norwegian Sea and more recently in bottom trawl surveys of the Svalbard archipelago. Given that this species is primarily distributed outside the range of current fishing activity and has a wide geographic range, it is assessed as Least Concern. Continued monitoring of catches and expanding deepwater fisheries, and the collection of life history data should be a priority.
|Range Description:
|Widespread along lower continental slopes. In the Northeast Atlantic, this species is found from the southeastern part of the Barents Sea (Novaya Zemliya Isl.) and Spitsbergen to the Greenland-Iceland-Faroe-Shetland Ridge to northern Norway) and the Svalbard archipelago (Paz 2003) (East Greenland Shelf, Faroe Plateau, Barents Sea). In the Northwest Atlantic, it occurs in Davis Strait between southwestern Greenland and Canada. Recently a small number of records were reported as far south as the Grand Banks in Canadian waters. However, some of these records may be confused with A. jenseni. Also reported from the Davis Strait (D. Kulka pers. comm). In the Southeast Atlantic, it is found along the southern tip of South Africa. In the Eastern Indian Ocean, it is found off southern Australia. In the Southwest Pacific it occurs in New Zealand and in the Eastern Pacific it is found in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Australia; Canada; Colombia; Costa Rica; Ecuador; Faroe Islands; Greenland; Iceland; New Zealand; Panama; South Africa; United Kingdom (Great Britain)
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Atlantic – northwest; Atlantic – southeast; Atlantic – northeast; Indian Ocean – eastern; Pacific – southwest; Pacific – northwest; Pacific – southeast; Pacific – eastern central

|Bottom trawl surveys in the Barents Sea from October to December 1998-2001 reported annual mean catches of this species of 0.1 to 1.0 fish per hour, and maximum catch of 83 fish per hour (Dolgov et al. 2005a). It was caught commonly during research cruises conducted on the slope of the eastern Norwegian Sea from 1984 to 1987 and in 1995 (Skjæraasen and Bergstad 2001). In the Spanish bottom trawl survey carried out on the Svalbard archipelago in 2003 at a depth range of 500 to 1,464 m A. hyperborea is recorded as one of the main species (Paz 2003).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species is found in deep water (260 to 2,500 m). In Canadian waters, average depth observed was 1,200 m (rarely greater than 900 m) where the deepest survey sets occurred only as deep as 1,550 m. Oviparous, depositing eggs (81 to 125 mm long and 50 to 80 mm wide) on the bottom. Length on hatching is 16 to 18 (Bigelow and Schroeder 1953). Maximum size is reported as 106 cm (Last and Stevens 1994), although the maximum recorded size off Canada is smaller (63 cm TL: D. Kulka pers. obs).
In Norwegian waters the highest frequency of catches observed was at depths between 1,050 to 1,250 m. In the deepest areas sampled 2,000 to 2,050 m no catches were made, suggesting a lower limit to its depth range (Skjæraasen and Bergstad 2001). This species appears to live almost exclusively at temperatures below 4ºC (Bigelow and Schroeder 1953). There, they were associated with bottom temperatures of about 3.5°C (D. Kulka pers. comm). In the Barents Sea Arctic skate prefers bottom temperatures about 0°C (Dolgov et al. 2005a). They are benthic feeders with a diet consisting primarily of teleost fish, but also including a variety of benthic invertebrates.
|Major Threat(s):
Taken as bycatch in deepwater trawl and longline fisheries.
In the Barents Sea it is taken in trawl fisheries targeting Cod and Haddock at depths 300 m, and longline fisheries targeting mainly Blue Catfish (Anarhichas denticulatus) and cod at depths 300 m (Dolgov et al. 2005b). These long-lines fisheries operate at depths from 130 to 847 m. Average bycatch rates in the longline fishery were 10 to 25 fish (or 35 to 75 kg) per 1,000 hooks, and this species was estimated to constitute approximately 20% of total long-line catches (Dolgov et al. 2005b). However, it should be noted that the uncertainty of the estimates from this method is high (approximately ±45%).
Preliminary estimates indicate that total annual skate by-catch in these fisheries is 723 to 1,891 tons, and thorny skate composes the great majority of catches (90 to 95% of the total skate catch). Skate catches are mainly discarded in the Barents Sea, although in 2000, about 200 tons of thorny and arctic skate was landed (Dolgov et al. 2005b) and future trends should be monitored.
This is a deepwater species (260 to 2,500 m) that is distributed largely outside of the depth range of current fisheries, offering it refuge. Given the wide depth range this species is currently considered Least Concern. However, continued monitoring of catches and expanding fisheries should be a priority.
Also reported by fisheries observers have recorded them as an occasional bycatch in the Greenland halibut and shrimp fisheries in the Davis Strait (D. Kulka pers. comm).
|Conservation Actions:
Research to collect information on the biology, ecology, uses and fishery data of this species should be a priority.
The development and implementation of management plans (national and/or regional e.g., under the FAO International Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks: IPOA-Sharks) are required to facilitate the conservation and sustainable management of all chondrichthyan species in the region.

The thought of eating a heart or lung can be gross to a love of people. Most don't find it appetizing to eat these organs in modern times, but it wasn't long ago when they were all delicacies. More importantly, they were all necessary foods for complete mental and physical health. These days, most people only get choline through eggs, which are never consumed in a high enough quantity. Because dietary choline is the source for acetylcholine in the brain, it is essential for you to consume enough.
Choline Sources in Foods
The best thing you can eat is eggs if organ meats are not high on your priority list. This includes foods that have eggs baked into them, but you can also eat boiled eggs with salads or scrambled eggs with vegetables. Eat as many as possible to get enough choline in order to live a healthy lifestyle. There is a lot of fear about cholesterol and eggs, but it is important that you take that with a grain of salt. So long as you reduce sugar intake, cholesterol should be fine.
Organ meats are the other sources and liver and kidneys are the best choices. These organs have the highest quantity of choline and a wide variety of other nutrients as well. If you are taking nootropic drugs or cognitive enhancers like oxiracetam or aniracetam, it is a good idea to consider getting food with choline in it.
Without these food sources, you are going to need to get some other sources of choline. This might include things like alpha GPC or CDP choline, but try to avoid lecithin or choline bitartrate if you want the most ideal sources for your brain.
