Improving Quality in Dementia Care. Edition No. 1
- June 2009
- 244 Pages
- VDM Publishing House
This book describes a research study examining the impact of staff attitudes on quality of care and quality of life of people with dementia, and whether changes in these occur as a result of training and development interventions. The research includes a review of existing attitude measurements and the development of a new attitude scale for use with dementia care professionals, offering evidence for its reliability and validity. In order to evaluate quality of care, a new observational technique is developed, which draws on previous observational methodologies, with a focus on the behaviour of staff during their care of people with dementia. Results suggest that staff with more 'hopeful' attitudes about people with dementia are more likely to engage in social interactions and activities with residents and use more quality indicators (such as giving choice and information) during care tasks. The study also showed improvements in staff attitudes, the quality of care provided and in resident well-being following a number of training and development inputs. Implications and limitations are discussed.
Tracey, Lintern.
Tracey Lintern carried out this work, as a reasearch assistant during the late 1990's. She is now a Clinical Psychologist and continues to work towards high quality care for people with dementia in the UK. She remains keen to develop person-centred care practices and to provide appropriate training and support for care staff.

Viii Men Of The Revolution
April 1973 | Volume 24, Issue 3
In fact, the rescue mortified Wilkes, who was basically an advocate of order and had a fundamentally conservative view of the word liberty. But the government botched things yet again: totally misjudging the mood of the people, it sent troops to quell the mob, and the soldiers fired on the Wilkites, killing six.
Wilkes was sentenced to twenty-two months in prison and a £1,000 fine, but neither proved much of a hardship: admirers sent game, salmon, and wine to his comfortable cell ; a committee raised £20,000 to pay off his debts; and he received a steady stream of visitors, many of them female admirers. Again the government played into his hands by ousting him from Parliament and calling for another election, thereby raising the question of whether voters could be deprived of the right to be represented by a man they had elected. To make the farce complete, Wilkes was re-elected and expelled again—not once but thrice—and on the final occasion the House of Commons seated his defeated opponent, stating piously that the latter "ought to have been" elected. By now men who had little fondness for Wilkes personally found themselves viewing the proceedings with grave misgivings. The result of the battle, which took place while Wilkes luxuriated in jail, was a new awareness of Parliament's unrepresentative character, its prejudice and corruption, its domination by the Crown, and the inherent danger all this represented to personal liberty. For the first time, organized public opinion became a factor to be reckoned with in British politics.
Across the Atlantic Wilkes became a heroic figure to colonists who perceived in his trials a mirror image of their own. They saw him as a leader of opposition to government and to its hated Stamp Act and Townshend duties, as a victim of general warrants (which they equated with the writs of assistance imposed upon them), and as a champion of private property against government confiscation. His cause, it appeared, was theirs, and his return from exile and re-elections to Parliament were hailed as blows for freedom and justice. "Wilkes and Liberty!" was the fashionable toast at gatherings along the Atlantic seaboard; live turtles and forty-five hogsheads of tobacco were sent to relieve his misery in prison. A group of Bostonians wrote him in 1768, "… your perseverance in the good old cause may still prevent the great system from dashing to pieces," and the following year an American correspondent informed him categorically that "the fate of Wilkes and America must stand or fall together." When he was denied his seat in Parliament again and again, America could only look on aghast, convinced that the king and his ministers were stamping out representative government in England as ruthlessly as in the colonies.
Wilkes and the authorities were spared further confrontation by his election (while still incarcerated) as an alderman from the City of London, and before long his weary enemies began accepting him as part of the scheme of things. In 1774 he became lord mayor of London and the following year was returned to Parliament (the king had decided to let a sleeping devil lie). From then on he was on relatively good behavior, advocating liberal causes such as prison reform, religious toleration, and support for the American colonists, and maintaining a dignity and integrity that outlasted the causes for which he had fought.
As the world passed him by, Wilkes forgot the encouragement his example had given Americans in their struggle for independence, and at the time the French Revolution began he saw no connection between his own earlier activities and events across the Channel. There had been, all along, a curious reluctance about his rebelliousness. Lacking the constancy and purposefulness of the true revolutionary, he was like the general who fights his battles one by one with no eye to the war. It was little wonder that most Londoners, before his death in 1797, knew him only as an aged but sprightly figure from the past, dressed in white-powdered wig and a splendid scarlet coat.
What he had accomplished may have been accidental, but there it was, after all, and at his own request these words were inscribed on his coffin :

About the author:
Robert K. Waits lives in the San Francisco Bay area and is a retired Silicon Valley engineer. He became intrigued with the mysterious Dr. Scott while researching the history of safety razors
(Before Gillette: The Quest for a Safe Razor). This led to unearthing the stories of the lives of George A. Scott, and his fellow "medical electricians," who afflicted mid-Victorian America and Britain with spurious "curative appliances."
The Medical Electricians
George A. Scott and His Victorian Cohorts in Quackery
Authored by Robert K. Waits
George Augustus Scott, although he gained notoriety (and riches) selling 'electric' cure-alls, was a wide-ranging entrepreneur. Scott left behind legitimate legacies: successful manufacturing businesses in Massachusetts and London, and a famously unsuccessful mercantile cooperative in New York.
The story of 'Dr. Scott,' a quack peddler of Electric brushes, corsets, and belts, electric in name only, is intertwined with those of several other Victorian Medical Electricians. He mentored protégés who became infamous for quackery: Cornelius B. Harness, in England, and John R. Foran in America; and tangled with a feisty Brooklyn competitor, William C. Wilson, who later took up with Foran. George Scott was not a physician, and avoided referring to himself as Doctor except in his audacious advertisements. He did not seek personal publicity (an attribute rare among quacks) but was well known socially. Scott died a wealthy man at age 48, and his Pall Mall Electric business persisted for years, the last known advertisements appeared in the 1920s.
Here are the advertisements and adventures of Scott, Harness, Wilson, Foran and their colleagues in quackery during the latter part of the Nineteenth Century.

|Photomask Metrology in the Era of Neolithography
|February 01, 1997
|The appearance of smaller photomask feature sizes, high density patterns, and optical enhancements such as phase shifters and OPC features, and the increasing importance of subresolution mask characteristics, can render traditional mask metrology techniques inadequate. Such high resolution techniques as SEMs and scanning probe microscopes can present serious problems in modeling, throughput, and accuracy. Accordingly, photomask metrology must be examined in the larger context of mask design, specification, manufacture, and application. Critical mask features may not always be measured directly as in the past. Instead, their optical effects can be measured and compared with specifications. Discrepancies indicate needed corrections in mask fabrication process control. In the early days of integrated circuit lithography, an era which might be termed paleolithography, the pattern on the photomask was transferred conformally to the wafer. Mask CDs were measured directly in a metrology microscope and represented their corresponding wafer CDs. The optical transform from mask to wafer was simply the scalar exposure system reduction ratio. In the present era of neolithography, with wafer CDs near the exposure wavelength, this is no longer the case. The wafer exposure system performs a nonlinear optical transform on the mask pattern to produce an aerial image in the resist. OPC and mask phase shifters are manifestations of the inverse of this transform. The image in the developed resist depends on the mask pattern and the exposure and development parameters in nonlinear ways. These parameters can be optimized in software, but their effects are equally important in both mask design and mask metrology. A conceptualization of the photomask life cycle will be presented showing the role of mask metrology in context. This approach can lead to practical solutions of the mask metrology problems of neolithography.

Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton to have dueling speeches in Dallas, day before George W. Bush Presidential Center's dedication
North Texas will host what could be the first showdown of the 2016 presidential campaign.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are scheduled to speak at separate events in the Dallas area on April 24, the day before the potential presidential contenders are expected to attend the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
The high-profile pair, considered among the top White House candidates in their respective parties, are just two of the many dignitaries slated to attend the Bush Center's dedication on April 25 at Southern Methodist University.
Jeb Bush — brother of the 43rd president and father of George P. Bush, a Fort Worth resident who's running for state land commissioner — was a no-brainer to make the trip to Dallas. And Clinton's husband, former president Bill Clinton, is expected to speak at the Bush Center ceremony.
While neither Hillary Clinton nor Jeb Bush have announced their intentions for the next White House campaign, the dueling speeches will do little to tamp down speculation about a potentially epic clash between two of America's most prominent political families.
The World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth announced Monday that Jeb Bush will speak at a noon luncheon at the Rosewood Crescent. The event, held in conjunction with SMU's Tower Center for Political Studies, is titled, "Restoring America's Promise: The Leadership Required and the Policy Changes That Are Needed."
And as the DMN's Eric Sheffield reported this morning, Clinton is scheduled to speak that evening to the National Multi Housing Council, an association that represents apartment firms, at the Four Seasons Resort and Club. The speech's content hasn't been disclosed.

A few days ago, I wrote about Ralph Hancock's review of Joanna Brooks' The Book of Mormon Girl at my personal blog. But actually, that post didn't end up about that at all. It ended up being about how Ralph and several Meridian commenters used Joanna's words to try to psychoanalyze the entire liberal/uncorrelated Mormon gambit. (Similarly, Kristine Haglund's rather tame appearance on C-SPAN to discuss Mormonism and Mitt Romney produced similar results in the comments at BCC.)
In much pleasant contrast is Dave Banack's review of The Book of Mormon Girl at Times and Seasons. I just want to point out a few of his comments and point out how refreshing they are.
First, I'll start off with something he said that seems to encapsulate for many the experience of growing up Mormon:
The experience of growing up Mormon seems to leave an indelible psychic mark, like a near-death experience or going through boot camp. Whether you later view that mark as a gift or a curse, it's there nonetheless. So if you grew up Mormon, Brooks' story of growing up is in some sense your story.
Just after, Dave notes that it is, however, not his story (several commenters note the same)…as he was a teenage convert, and probably had considerably different experiences as a result…this is something I've thought about often…it's clear that different people have different experiences with Mormonism, different reactions to various things related to it…but why?
Sometimes people want to say that the major differentiating factor is whether one has grown up inside Utah or outside Utah. The most intense Mormons (who become the most intense ex-Mormons, if they disaffect) come from Utah. Mormons outside Utah can somehow be more mellow both inside and outside the church.
…a different way of contrasting groups is by pointing out whether one was born and raised in the church or converted later in life. Under this classification schema, those who were born and raised take a distinctly cultural dimension to the church that converts may completely lack as "non-natives" to the church.
I don't know if either of these are really appropriate or accurate, but I think that Dave has several lines throughout his review that subtly play with these contrasts.
The Book of Formerly Ex-Mormon Girl?
Dave uses language that functionally classifies Joanna as someone who was an ex-Mormon who came back. (Well, I don't know if it goes that far, but labels a section of the review as leaving the church and coming back. But his description of Joanna's "leaving the church" seems pretty active to me):
…she went back to California and lived the life of a graduate student while largely avoiding mainstream Mormonism but lingering on the fringes: reading LDS journals, writing a piece here or there, sneaking into the back of LDS meetings now and then.
In the sense, I see that Dave is identifying "the church" with "mainstream Mormonism" — so since Joanna indeed was "largely avoiding mainstream Mormonism" her lingering involvement with LDS journals do not count in her favor.
…I think this is really interesting. What does it mean to leave the Church? (For example, what does it mean to leave the church as opposed to "being inactive," or "being on hiatus" or even "being a Mormon on one's own terms"? Do any of these blur into one another?) I haven't read the book or a lot of Joanna's own comments about her story, so I don't know if she would classify that period of her life as having "left the church," but my gut reaction has never been to classify Joanna as someone who has "left the church and then returned."
…But then again, on an anecdotal level, I've thought about this before: I know people who HAVE testified in church that they were inactive for 20+ years before coming back to activity. When people say this…even if they don't say they "left the church," I have to pause: if someone has been inactive for as many years as I have been alive, yet they still have "come back," then at what point in disaffection can one say that they have left without putting an asterisk for the possibility that they could change their minds later?
But whether Joanna left, just went on extended emotional holiday, or was just inactive, I found the analysis Dave made regarding her reasons for return striking…not for what they were, but for what he felt they weren't:
Brooks' writing suggests that she, as a sensitive but alienated Mormon, still had a deep, if hidden, connection to the Church, probably deeper than most active, churchgoing Mormons do. She writes movingly of the women who are her LDS ancestors; she writes of bringing her daughters back to church so they, too, can feel that connection and be part of that ongoing generational story. There is no suggestion that any concern with immediate family caused her to return; it is obviously not LDS doctrine or politics that she missed. "LDS culture" or even "LDS heritage" doesn't seem to capture what drew her back. Toward the end of the book, she explains, "I went back to church so that my daughters could know the same loving, kind, and powerful God I was raised to believe in." Or, as she recalls explaining years ago to a friend who was puzzled by the odd persistence of her Mormon-ness, "it is my first language, my mother tongue, my family, my people, my home; it is my heart."
Emphasis added.
One for Our Team?
Is it a bad thing that people don't stick with the church for the sake of family concerns, LDS doctrine, or politics? Well, here's exactly where people disagree…For Dave, it's not ideal, but it's not a bad thing. As he said:
Well, if that's how you talk about your sort-of ex-church, you'll probably head back too at some point. Whatever the reason, I count her return as a small victory. Given the increasing numbers of young Mormons leaving the Church and the amount of bad press we've been getting lately, we should all be grateful for such small victories.
However, as my previous link to Ralph Hancock's review in Meridian suggests, others don't see things the same. And Dave notes that. Dave has a bit more things to say about people like that:
Yet there are people out there saying there's no room in the LDS Church for people like Brooks, describing her position favoring gay marriage as "irreconcilable with the church," and generally trying to make Brooks and others like her feel unwelcome (although still "want[ing] her to remain Mormon").
There's a phrase that describes this smaller-is-better view of the ideal church: The Church of Jesus Christ of People Just Like Me. This view seems to flourish inside the Provo bubble, where everyone you meet might actually be just like you, a place where people like Professor Bott (another supporter of the Church of People Just Like Me) can flourish for decades. The people who embrace this sort of thinking and the rash public statements they make if given access to the media are more of a danger to the Church than those who dream progressive dreams, give speeches to a few dozen sympathizers, and write essays and poetry in journals that few Mormons even know exist. In the unjust calculus of public relations, one dumb statement by an LDS official or employee does much more harm than a dozen speeches, essays, or poems by folks like Brooks. I wish the SCMC had a dumb statements file, but I doubt the committee is paying any attention to that danger.
Dave's encapsulation of this view as "The Church of Jesus Christ of People Just Like Me" reminded me of my post on the Typical Mormonism Fallacy. But the thing about Typical Mormonism Fallacy is that it doesn't only applies to people like Professor Bott…rather, all kinds of people can be guilty of making their experience of Mormonsim the Only True Experience of Mormonism. Unfortunately, even though diversity and a "big tent" are embraced by some progressive-minded, "uncorrelated" types, the question is whether they are successful in avoiding a "smaller-is-better" view of the ideal church…only shifted further left on the political or theological spectrum.
Dave hits that point too:
Personally, I like to think that political views are opinions on which reasonable people can differ, but that may be a minority view these days. I don't get the sense that Brooks sees political opinions that differ from hers as potentially reasonable. There are certainly plenty of Mormon conservatives who reciprocate.
I think that we all (especially us at Wheat & Tares) run the risk of trying to create an environment where political (or theological) views are opinions on which reasonable people can differ, but ultimately, we still end up privileging certain opinions over others.
But that's another topic for another day…I've been thinking about a few things since reading Dave's post, and that brings us to the…
Questions for Today
- What makes a girl (or boy) Mormon?
- Is Joanna Brooks (or *should* she be considered) a Mormon, given her own statements of what draws her to the church, what she believes and what she doesn't, what she accepts and what she doesn't?
- What makes someone an ex-Mormon? Does one have to essentially stop talking about Mormonism or engaging with it in any way to be ex-Mormon? How can one tell if one is ex-Mormon vs. Mormon-in-indefinite-hiatus?

Took this medication for about 10 years without any side effects. About a year ago, I developed an annoying constant dry cough. Have changed medication and cough disappeared.
IT takes my blood pressure real low then after 4 hours or so pressure goes up. May go as low as 88/66 and up to 160 so i class it as ineffective.
I have had type 1 diabetes for over 37 years and my kidneys were leaking protein so my dr put me on Accupril. Because I did'nt have high blood pressure, I had to take 2.5mg to start off with and now I'm on 5mg and don't think I am having any major hassles. Have developed a cough that sometimes interferes with my eating and makes me a bit breathless. Not too worried though. I'm 41 and had a life expectancy of 10 so not doing too bad lol

A News 10 "Voice of the Voter" poll shows Governor Rick Snyder pulling ahead of Democratic challenger Mark Schauer in Michigan's gubernatorial race. 44% of those polled say they'd vote for the Governor, 36% chose Schauer, a former Congressman from Battle Creek. 20% were still undecided. The last poll taken in May had Schauer with a 39% to 38% lead.
The same poll shows Democrat Gary Peters ahead of Republican Terri Lynn Land by a slim 38%-37% margin in the race for U.S. Senate with 25% undecided. Peters is a Congressman from Oakland County. Land is a former Secretary of State. The Senate seat is open because Democrat Carl Levin is retiring at the end of 2014.
The poll was conducted by EPIC-MRA and has a margin of error or +/- 4%.

Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) - Introductory Workshop
Children's Hospital Colorado - Child Development Unit - Aurora, CO
NOTE: This website is to register to attend the one-day in person Introductory Workshop in Colorado. If you are looking for the online course, please go to the UCDavis website below.
We wanted to apprise you of a change to the official ESDM Training courses that occurred last week.
Early Start Denver Model (ESDM)
At the heart of the ESDM is the empirical knowledge-base of infant-toddler learning and development and the effects of early autism. ESDM intervention is typically provided in the home by trained therapists and parents during natural play and daily routines. ESDM is a relationship-based intervention, and involves parents and families. The aim of ESDM is to increase the rate of development in all domains for children with ASD as it simultaneously aims to decrease the symptoms of autism. In particular, this intervention focuses on boosting children's social-emotional, cognitive, and language skills, as development in these domains is particularly affected by autism. ESDM also uses a data based approach and empirically supported teaching practices that have been found effective from research in applied behavior analysis. ESDM fuses behavioral, relationship-based, developmental, and play-based approaches into an integrated whole that is standardized and yet completely individualized. Wagner & Rogers (2011)
Early Start Denver Model for Young Children with Autism: Promoting Language, Learning, and Engagement, by Sally Rogers and Geraldine Dawson, ISBN 9781606236314
Early Start Denver Model Curriculum Checklist for Young Children with Autism, by Sally Rogers and Geraldine Dawson, ISBN 9781606236338
An Early Start for Your Child with Autism, by Sally Rogers, Geraldine Dawson and Laurie Vismara, ISBN 978-1-4625-0389-6 (hardcover), ISBN 978-1-60918-470-4 (paperback)
While the Introductory Workshop offered here may be helpful for individuals from a variety of backgrounds who wish to obtain more detailed information about ESDM, providers may wish to pursue additional training to obtain certification in the model.
Certification in ESDM
Becoming a certified ESDM Therapist is a multi-step process. We encourage you to review the process here and with the developers of the training procedures at the MIND Institute in California.
Prerequisites: The following steps are intended for professionals interested in becoming certified in the ESDM and who: work regularly with 12-48 month aged children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); have educational degrees beyond a bachelor's or the academic equivalent from their country of origin (e.g., MA, Ph.D., MFT, SLP, OT); work as part of an interdisciplinary team (e.g., general/special education teacher, developmental/clinical psychologist, SLP, OT, behavior analyst); have read the ESDM Manual and can bring their own copy to the workshops; have completed each training step (defined below) before advancing to the next; and have the resources to submit training materials, including videotapes, (immediately after the Advanced Workshop is complete) to our center for fidelity review.
The first step in the training process is to read the published ESDM materials (references above). After reading the manual, there are two levels of workshops available for training in the ESDM (Introductory and Advanced). Enrollment in the Introductory and Advanced Workshops may be done concurrently.
The Introductory Workshop addresses the main aspects of the ESDM in a one-day didactic. It is designed for attendees from a variety of backgrounds, including professionals, parents, and other interested parties. It is not intended to train providers to fidelity, but is one step in this process. The current cost for this one-day workshop at this site in Colorado is $300 per person (+ service fees).
The Advanced Workshop involves 3 days of experiential learning. It is available by application only to professionals meeting the prerequisites above, and who have read the manual and completed the Introductory Workshop. It is the next step in working toward certification as an ESDM therapist, but will not, by itself, provide certification. The Advanced Workshop includes interactive sessions with children with ASD during which professionals practice, in groups of 3-5 providers, implementing the full model with live supervision. Space is limited and applications will be reviewed in the order they are received. Please contact us at email@example.com to request an application and additional information regarding the certification process. The current cost for this three-day workshop at this site in Colorado is $1500 per provider.
Finally, in order to become a certified ESDM therapist, professionals are required to submit materials that demonstrate their competency in the ESDM immediately following the Advanced Workshop. Supervision is provided on all aspects of the model, and materials will be coded for fidelity to the model. Professionals are expected to submit these materials to their trainer in a timely manner (with the first submission occurring within the weeks following Advanced Workshop attendance). All steps in the certification process are expected to be completed within 6-12 months. Adherence to the timeline is required in order to continue in this process. There are three rounds of fidelity submissions which include paperwork and videotapes of the provider utilizing the ESDM with children with ASD. Additional submissions may be required if the provider does not meet fidelity at each of the stages. Providers may not be allowed to continue in the program if timelines or fidelity are not met. Please contact us for detailed information regarding the fidelity process. The current cost for the fidelity submissions at this site in Colorado is $2000 per provider.
Training to become an ESDM certified trainer is offered only through the UC Davis MIND Institute
Cancellation/Refund Policy
A refund will be granted if requested 2 weeks prior to the workshop. No refunds will be granted after this date or for non-attendance, although you may send a substitute. Please note that all service fees are nonrefundable.
The Committee reserves the right to modify the agenda content while keeping consistent the time and content requirements for CEUs. This event may be cancelled if minimum acceptable registration is not attained two weeks prior to the event, with a full refund to participants.
Advanced Workshop & Certification
Providers interested in attending the Advanced Workshop and completing fidelity certification should contact the Colorado ESDM Training Committee at firstname.lastname@example.com or call Mela Barrios at 720-777-6631 for further information.

Dell extends discount scheme for enterprise VARs until February

Accuracy is very important this week as the rough is approaching US Open legnth. You will see some PGA Tour players look like amateurs this week as the rough is longer than anything we have seen this year. The greens and fairways are perfect and very fast.

These boxes are for all seekers, not just a select few.
The first two are stamps only; please bring your own ink. The third box has the log book and markers. This walk is both kid and dog-friendly.
David, Edie, Peter, Olivia, Tom lived on a gray road. They yearned for a place to call their own, but they settled on land reserved for all where a regal river runs.
Start at the north loop trail marker 1.7 miles.
Walk along the trail for a while. Enjoy the day. Eventually you will start going downhill. Cross an opening in an old rock wall. From the opening go 6 or 7 paces (every time your right foot touches the ground). Look to the back of the wall. Here lives the Spirit-Who-Would-Not-Be-Broken.
After stamping continue on the trail. After a bit you will see a junction of several rock walls. The trail turns left, heading NW. Cross two partially broken bridges. After passing through a large downed tree you'll see a bigger stream to your right. Stop and look. The trail bends to the left (a skinny downed tree marks the left edge of the trail). From here, veer off the trail and cross the stream over the flat rocks. You'll see a large, moss-covered rock all by itself. Look to the back/side of the rock. This free spirit sits just quietly, listening to the river (while all the others like him run and jump and butt their heads together).
After stamping go back to the trail. Keep walking. You will start going uphill. You will cross another broken bridge. 13 paces from the bridge look to the ledges you see on your right. Again, veer from the trail and cross the stream. If you had the strength of this next character you would likely climb straight up. If not, you might consider going up the left side, walking over the top and peering into that ledge. Please Note! This part isn't toddler-friendly. Probably ages 6 and up will do just fine, though. Once you find your prize, settle in and be patient with the markers. Tell me about your journey and the day. There are many colors but if you take your time it will be worth it. If the bugs are too much or you are pressed for time, skip the border and concentrate your efforts on the character herself. Enjoy this free spirit who makes her own way in the world.
Afterward, make your way back to the trail and keep going until you get back to the parking lot. Along the way home, if you are unsure of which turn to make or see a short-cut, just keep going to the left and you'll make it.
(We placed these boxes in May of 2007 but never posted the clues. We have recently checked on them and they are fine.)

This was supposed to be a bounce-back season for the Pittsburgh Steelers, a chance to get the bad taste of 2012 out of their mouths. But the bounce is going to be delayed for at least one more week.
The Steelers came out completely flat on offense and lost to the Tennessee Titans in their first loss in a home opener in a decade. The final score was 16-9, but as the sports cliche goes, "the game wasn't as close as the score."
Let's take a look at a few of the takeaways from this opening week loss.
Unless noted otherwise, all the statistics referenced are provided by NFL.com.

Since wedding bells will peel soon, it is serendipitous that we received a rejoicing email from a dear, newly wedded, customer. Kelly has gracefully allowed me to share the below wedding photograph as well as an excerpt from her sweetest email message to us:
"...When I saw the decorated room at Palace Ballroom it took my breath away. It was even better than I could have imagined. People wanted to take the glassybaby home with them! We want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your beautiful work and your support in making our wedding dreams come true!...P.S. My husband even surprised me with two glassybaby for Christmas that he bought before our wedding day! I love, love, love, love them and can't wait to get more! :)"
I really love emails that use the word "love" with reckless abandon and include the energy carried by many exclamation points; and I adore emails populated by winking smiles crafted from the typing of colons, semicolons and parenthesis marks. Kelley's email made our collective day. Swoon over her dreamy pink 'petaled,' glassybaby rich wedding photo.
Weddings conjure the visual of white doves somehow, and white doves lead me to a glassybaby bird tale in our recent history. Ryan, Production Manager, Trouble Shooter extraordinaire, awoke Monday morning to a phone call from our furnace 'light up' person. One of the glory holes was not lighting up properly...the normal combustion that lights our fire for the day's production...was not occurring. Nothing phases intrepid Ry, she easily channels her inner Sherlock of glass production. Various phone calls were made. Plumber Steve was summoned. An ascent to the rooftop ensued, where air and gas lines safely reside. This time, in the world of smote, the birds smote the air line. Steve, found aloft, the clear tracings of a bird's nest in our essential air line. The nest was summarily removed (no birds were harmed in this process.) Our air line flows nicely now and we are back to 'light up' normalcy. And Ryan took off her purple Sherlock hat.
End note. Sophie is in the house and we welcome her. To explain, we have acquired a, soon to graduate from High School, intern. She has great ideas and energy and will be in our midst for one month. Task #1: "Sophie, would you please explain twitter to me?"
Happy Mother's Day. Thanks for loving your Mom with glassybaby. Praise to the blooming lilacs surrounding us. Until Next Time, Nicola

Catchers: It's Not All Glove, No Bat
Catchers with exceptional defensive skills are in vogue in Major League Baseball. With stolen-base attempts up since the mid-2000's, when home runs began to decline with the end of the so-called "steroids era," catchers who consistently cut down the opposition's running game add tremendous value.
But it hasn't been all glove and no bat.
Catchers across the league have quietly become significant contributors to their teams' offense, surpassing all positions players other than first basemen, left fielders and right fielders by one important measure. OPS is a combination of a hitter's on-base average plus his slugging percentage. Through Monday's games, catchers had a collective .727 OPS compared to a .724 OPS for all non-pitchers. Carlos Santana, the young backstop for the Cleveland Indians, leads the way with a 1.141 OPS, followed by the Colorado Rockies' Wilin Rosario, who's at 1.023. San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey, last year's National League MVP, is at it again, too, with an .900 OPS. On the other end of the spectrum, we find Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero with a .567 OPS and the Baltimore Orioles' Matt Wieters at .665.
The chart shows league-wide OPS for all non-pitchers and OPS for each defensive position for the 2010, 2011, and 2012 seasons, and this season through April 29, 2013. Overall, OPS has dropped, but not nearly as much as you'd expect given the precipitous decline by first basemen, typically a power position. Catchers have picked up the slack. The last time catchers' OPS was so close to league-wide OPS was in 1977, when Carlton Fisk, Johnny Bench, and Gary Carter slapped on the mask and shin guards.

In letter to Obama, chemical industry groups see no need for further regulation
Sixteen chemical-industry groups told the White House on Monday that imposing new safety regulations is unnecessary and more attention should instead go toward improving emergency response.
The groups' four-page letter to President Barack Obama comes as a team of federal agencies work on overhauling U.S. chemical safety oversight following last year's deadly West explosion. The team is expected to submit its recommendations later in May.
Meanwhile, industry groups have been proposing their own fixes in hopes of averting a crackdown. The White House letter was signed by groups with Capitol Hill clout, including the American Chemistry Council.
"The chemical industry is one of the most regulated industries in the world, and data show that the industry also is one of the safest," the groups contend.
Our analysis of more than 750,000 incident reports last year, however, provides a different conclusion: that 90 percent of all available data regarding chemical accidents are wrong. Obama asked the federal team to consider creating more feasible means of collecting and sharing data on chemical-safety storage and incidents.

The Wall Street Journal07/19/2012By Nathan Hodge and Habib Khan Totakhil[Printer Friendly Version]
A recent death sentence for an Afghan soldier who killed five French troops is generating controversy in Afghanistan, with insurgents hailing the man as a hero, and human-rights advocates urging clemency.
Abdul Basir was convicted Sunday by a military court of killing five French soldiers on a military base in the eastern Kapisa province in January, according to a statement Wednesday by Afghanistan's defense ministry. Spokesman Maj. Gen. Zahir Azimi said Mr. Basir would be shot dead.
Mr. Basir, whose rank wasn't given, was convicted of opening fire on unarmed French soldiers while they were training on their base. Four of them were killed outright and 15 others were injured, with one subsequently dying of his wounds. It was one of the worst such "green-on-blue" attacksincidents in which Afghan troops turn their weapons on U.S. and coalition alliessince the war began.
Under Afghan military law, Mr. Basir can appeal his conviction.
Advocacy group Human Rights Watch urged Afghan President Hamid Karzai to commute the death sentence. Afghanistan's justice system "remains weak and compromised, in spite of over 10 years of donor assistance," the group said in a statement. "It relies heavily on confessions, including some obtained through torture. Use of physical evidence is rudimentary. The independence and impartiality of judges is often undermined, especially in high-profile cases such as this one."
On a visit to Kabul on Wednesday, French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian declined to comment directly on the court's verdict, saying it was a matter of "Afghan justice."
However, Mr. Le Drian reiterated France's long-standing opposition to the death penalty.
The January killings in Kapisa have prompted France to accelerate plans for the withdrawal of its combat troops.
Those forces now are scheduled to depart by the end of the year, well ahead of a 2014 deadline for the withdrawal of most international troops. A smaller French noncombat contingent focused on training Afghan forces will remain in the country longer.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Taliban praised Mr. Basir for his "magnificent act," saying that the judges and prosecutors involved in the trial would be targeted for assassination.
Such remarks appear designed to tap into Afghan resentment of foreign troops. When Col. Ahmad Gul, an Afghan air force officer, killed eight U.S. Air Force service members and a contractor last year, he was hailed by some as a hero and posters hanging in the Kabul district where he lived celebrated his martyrdom. As many as 2,000 Afghans attended his funeral in his home village to show their appreciation for killing "infidels and occupiers." The incident, the Taliban added, would "live in the country's history forever."
The statement also compared Mr. Basir with Wazir Akbar Khan, an Afghan national hero who led a revolt against the British in the 1840s. It said the "puppet regime"the phrase the Taliban uses to describe Mr. Karzai's administrationhad convicted the soldier to "please its foreign masters."

Driverless truck crashes into parked cars, power line
SAN DIEGO A driverless moving truck plowed into two parked cars and a power line Sunday causing a power outage near an Oak Park neighborhood.
A San Diego Fire Department dispatcher said brake failure was the suspected cause of the crash on Gayle Street near Hughes Street shortly after 1:20 p.m.
The crash severed live power lines and power was shut down to the homes on both sides of the street, said department Spokesman Lee Swanson. It was unclear when power resumed. No injuries were reported.

Our friends over at StyleList want to help you out. So, instead of just assuming you know everything a woman desires, why don't you listen to the editors at the premiere fashion site on the Web and make sure you are doing the right thing when it comes to the opposite sex?
This week: The old body spray or cologne debate.
First things first – less is always more. Whether you are a die-hard body spray fan or cologne connoisseur, always use less than you think you should.
Now that we have that out of the way, we have to admit that we prefer cologne to the ever-popular body sprays. When compared to body spray, cologne is more mature (major points with the ladies), smells better, is safer to use and more economical. Wins across the board.
Body spray leaves too much room for "more" - aka, error. It's just so tempting to keep spraying, and we can relate to the feeling. (Have you see us put on hairspray before?) With cologne, all you need is a spray or two and you are good to go. The scents are so highly concentrated that they are intended to be used sparingly. There is nothing worse than being the guy at the bar that can be smelled a mile away. Stick with cologne, and not only will you smell great, but you'll also be saving money by spraying less with each use.
Our favorite brands: Creed and Ralph Lauren. If you're looking to make the investment, go with Creed's Silver Mountain Water or Green Irish Tweed. Both smell masculine and woodsy and are named after the outdoors: How could you not be into it? If you'd like to spend a little less but still make the dive into the cologne world, try Ralph Lauren's Polo Blue. It's a classic scent from a trusted brand, smells fresh and clean, and price points start around $48.
Still on the fence about cologne and body spray? Stick with a great soap; in particular, Irish Spring. It's cheap, easy, smells awesome and won't overpower you, your clothes or how good your girlfriend smells.

Republican Representative Raúl Labrador announced Tuesday he's hired Ellen Carmichael to be his communications director. Ellen Carmichael said in a statement she welcomed the opportunity to work in Washington, D.C. for what she called an "unwavering conservative." Congressman Labrador represents Idaho's 1st district, which spans the entire length of the state's western flank. Northwest soldiers out of the war, into the job market By Jessica Robinson • Oct 31, 2011 Doug Nadvornick A wave of returning National Guard soldiers from Oregon and Idaho is coming face to face with the Northwest's lack-luster job market. The 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team returned from Iraq in September. After a month of post-deployment vacation, the troops are starting to return to the civilian workforce. Idaho couple puts wetlands rules to the test in U.S. Supreme Court By Jessica Robinson • Oct 31, 2011 Jessica Robinson / Northwest News Network PRIEST RIVER, Idaho – A fight over less than an acre of land in a remote part of the Northwest could alter the way the government enforces environmental regulations across the country. The U.S. Supreme Court this winter will hear a case brought against the EPA by Mike and Chantell Sackett of north Idaho. Income inequality lower than average in NW, says census report By Jessica Robinson • Oct 27, 2011 U.S. Census Bureau New numbers show the gap between the rich and poor has grown across the nation. But income inequality in the Northwest is lower than the national level. That's according to an analysis released Wednesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. Limit on potatoes in cafeterias draws bipartisan push-back By Jessica Robinson • Oct 17, 2011 Northwest senators are trying to block new federal guidelines for school lunches. An amendment introduced Monday to an agriculture appropriations bill is a response to a recommended cutback on potato servings. Both of Idaho's senators and Oregon Senator Ron Wyden are backing the amendment. The USDA is recommending that districts in the National School Lunch Program limit servings of starchy vegetables to one cup a week per student. The means fewer dollops of corn, lima beans and most politically charged — potatoes. Brigham Young student launches 'Occupy' effort, if nervously By Jessica Robinson • Oct 10, 2011 College students have helped propel Occupy Wall Street protests to cities across the Northwest. But the left-wing movement is a tougher sell on some campuses – like conservative Brigham Young University's campus in eastern Idaho. University of Washington students joined camped-out protesters at Seattle's Westlake Park. A rally at the Idaho Capitol was organized in part by students at Boise State University. And a University of Oregon senior started the Occupy Eugene Facebook page. FBI Investigates Fire At Idaho Fur Supplier As Possible Act Of Domestic Terrorism By Jessica Robinson • Oct 6, 2011 A fire at a Northwest fur business has attracted the attention of the FBI. Federal agents are now looking into into whether the blaze in Caldwell, Idaho was an act of domestic terrorism. Anonymous members of an animal rights group have claimed responsibility. Plastic Bag Ban Foes In Idaho Play 'Buy Local' Card By Jessica Robinson • Oct 6, 2011 The first Idaho town to propose a ban on plastic grocery sacks is running into an unusual cross-current: the push to buy local. That's because the city of Hailey in central Idaho is just up the road from a plastic bag factory. Local high school students gathered enough signatures this summer to put the ban on plastic bags before Hailey voters. The town of 7,000 near Sun Valley would be the first in Idaho to ban retailers from using the thin plastic grocery bags. It's similar to bans passed in Edmonds, Wash., and most recently, Portland and Bellingham. Federal Energy Plan Fast-Tracks Power Lines Across Northwest By Jessica Robinson • Oct 5, 2011 Hundreds of miles of power lines across Oregon, Idaho and 10 other states would be fast-tracked under a federal plan announced Wednesday. The Obama administration hopes to create more jobs by speeding construction of Idaho Power and Portland General Electric transmission lines. U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu says the country needs to modernize its power grid to meet future demand, and get more green energy to market. Idaho Company To Double Workforce In Face Of Mining Boom By Jessica Robinson • Oct 5, 2011 A north Idaho mining industry supplier plans to double its workforce over the next year.

Butch Otter: "Three! Two! One!" Cantwell's first GOP challenger steps up in Spokane By Jessica Robinson • Oct 3, 2011 SPOKANE, Wash. - A Washington state senator from Spokane plans to take on U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell. Michael Baumgartner made his announcement Monday. He's the first Republican to launch a 2012 challenge against the Democratic senator from Washington. Correspondent Jessica Robinson reports. Baumgartner, at age 35, is fairly new to politics. His resume includes work in Iraq and Afghanistan as an economic consultant. In 2010 he ran for state senate and beat the Democratic incumbent in a race that went down as the most expensive in Washington senate history. Poor mining practices, inadequate oversight preceded miner's death By Jessica Robinson • Sep 19, 2011 Jessica Robinson / KPLU COEUR d'ALENE, Idaho – It's been five months since a rockfall at the Lucky Friday Mine in north Idaho killed veteran miner Larry Marek. Much about the accident is still unknown. But public records going back several years suggest the federal agency that oversees mines did not adequately ensure the safety of workers at the Lucky Friday. A 2008 report on another collapse there went missing. And since Larry Marek's death, inspectors have found a dramatically higher number of safety violations. Grizzly kills man in Montana By Jessica Robinson • Sep 16, 2011 Wildlife agents are investigating a grizzly bear attack that left one man dead on the north end of the Idaho-Montana border. Mike Weland is a spokesman for the Boundary County Sheriff Department in north Idaho. He says the man was attacked while hunting on Buckhorn Mountain, near the Canadian border. "The hunter's partner did shoot and kill the bear while the attack was in progress, but he was too late to save his partner," Weland said.

We'll it's not the winter weather making things difficult for Kentucky farmers this year it's the price of winter hay.
At a farm in Laurel County the season started with one of the best hay crops ever, but a sudden change in the weather late last year and the ongoing drought are making this year one of the worst many farmers can remember.
"It was just doing great, and the next thing we had three days of below freezing weather, and it just laid it down," Doug Day said.
Day says he's been farming for more than 60 years, and he can't remember the crops ever being this bad.
"A 30 acre field usually makes 30 rows...it made eight rows," Day said.
At Doug Day's farm, he says he could run out of hay early this year. That would force him to buy hay from out of state, which could quadruple his costs.
"You buy a $20 roll of hay in Oklahoma and you get it in here and it's costing you $80 by the time you get it unloaded," Glenn Williams said.
It's not just hay. With wells and creeks running dry some farmers also have to truck in water just to keep their livestock alive.
"The trucking, the freight, the fuel costs are so high, that getting it in here, the freight's actually costing more than the hay," Williams said.
A cost that for some young farmers is just too much, causing some to turn away from Farming for good.
Some farmers are also relying on alternative sources of feed, like grain, just to get their livestock through the winter.
