Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world Margaret Mead
Today, we are at work in more than 90 countries around the world and in every state in the U.S. Our promise is simple: wherever and whenever people are in crisis, we can bring the help they need.
It is a promise we can keep because of the commitment of our donors to make a difference in the lives of people who face all kinds of deadly threats—from massive earthquakes to a simple lack of clean water. Working together, we are improving health outcomes for millions of people in need each year.

The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra's "A Classical Christmas" spotlights the beautiful, reverent side of the season. In what has become an annual tradition, JoAnn Falletta conducts the orchestra and the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus in music from some of the great classical composers. Included is usually music everyone knows, as well as things that are lesser-known.
The well-known music this year includes the lovely "Skaters' Waltz" (a favorite of Andre Rieu) and dances from Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker," as well as Gounod's "Ave Maria" and Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus."
In addition, soprano Sebnem Mekinulov is the soloist in two excerpts from Mozart's beautiful Vespers, K. 339 -- the concluding "Magnificat" and the famous, transcendent "Laudate Dominum." The Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus performs "Jachzet, frohlocket" ("Rejoice, Exult"), the triumphant chorus, shining with trumpets, that opens Bach's "Christmas Oratorio."
Music from Korngold's "The Snowman" adds another dimension. And BPO Principal Oboist Pierre Roy is the soloist in a lovely adagio by Baroque composer Alessandro Marcello.
The concert takes place at 10:30 a.m. today and 8 p.m. Saturday. Admission is $30-$75. For info, call 885-5000.

Definition of heptagon in English:
- The book promptly answered his question: A heptagon has seven sides.
- Construct a heptagon, given the seven points that are the midpoints of its sides.
- In this case, all of the points lying along a line through this circle's center and perpendicular to the plane of the heptagon are equidistant from the polygon's vertices.
- Example sentences
- He took note through the clear glass walls of the heptagonal room that the employees were still working, even at the ungodly hour of 4 a.m. on a Sunday morning.
- They suggest that the magnetic behavior is due to the complex microstructure of the foam in which they observe heptagonal structures having an unpaired electron.
- In the Korean myth, the hero's legitimate son is recognized when he is able to find half of his father's sword at the base of a pine tree growing out of a heptagonal stone.
Late 16th century: from Greek heptagonon, neuter (used as a noun) of heptagonos 'seven-angled'.
seven from Old English:
Seven days of the week, seven deadly sins, seven dwarfs, seven wonders of the world, the Magnificent Seven…the number seven crops up again and again in history and culture. The word is from the same ancient root as Latin septem and Greek hepta 'seven'—septem is the source of September (Old English), originally the seventh month of the Roman year, and of septet (early 19th century), whereas hepta is found in words such as heptagon (late 16th century) 'seven angled', and heptathlon [1970s] combined with athlon 'contest'. The seven-year itch was originally a semi-proverbial medical condition, dating from the middle of the 19th century, but these days is a supposed tendency to infidelity after seven years of marriage. The phrase originated in the USA, and The Seven Year Itch, a 1955 comedy written and directed by Billy Wilder and starring Marilyn Monroe, introduced it to a wider audience.

Mural eyed for Battle of Plattsburgh bicentennial
Group hopes to raise $100,000
A group is raising money to commission a western New York native to create a mural commemorating the upcoming bicentennial of the Battle of Plattsburgh.
The Battle of Plattsburgh Association has launched a campaign to raise $100,000 for the mural, which will be created by Dean Mosher, a Niagara Falls native who's a nationally renowned historical artist.
Mosher's work hangs in such places as the U.S. Naval and Coast Guard academies and the State University of Plattsburgh's art museum.
The War of 1812 battle was fought on Sept. 11, 1814, on land and on Lake Champlain at Plattsburgh, where American ground and naval forces defeated an invading British army and navy.
Mosher lives in Fairhope, Ala., outside Mobile.

MINER - Missouri Department of Transportation officials don't want to hack Miner's trees, but unless an agreement is worked out with billboard advertisers they will have to issue a permit to allow it.
MoDOT officials explained during the regular Miner Board of Aldermen meeting Tuesday that state statutes mandate advertising companies may trim back vegetation within 450 feet of a billboard's face to provide a clear view of their sign. "They have the right, according to state law, to come in and trim the trees obstructing the view," he said.
While the city was granted a beautification permit in 1993, it does not include absolute rights with regards to the vegetation, said District Engineer Scott Meyer.
Mark Rankin, district outdoor advertising specialist for MoDOT, said the advertising company has offered to replace trees with other vegetation as they may not survive being trimmed back enough to provide a clear view. "They've just volunteered to do this," Rankin said.
MoDOT officials said there are about a dozen signs that have Miner's trees in front of them.
Meyer agreed to submit a landscaping plan for the Board to consider.
In other City of Miner business Tuesday:
* The city's mutual aid agreement with the New Hamburg-Benton-Commerce Fire District was updated.
"We've had an agreement with them since 1991 and we're just updating it," said Benny Thurston, fire division chief. "We need their assistance as bad as they need ours."
* Three acres on the north side of Ables Road roughly 100 yards west of State Highway AA were rezoned from agricultural to residential.
A building for the Sikeston Community Church is slated to be built there once the land is filled about two feet higher for a flood plain permit.
* The Board agreed to hire a water district technician who has been assisting the city for the last few weeks and holds a class A operator's license for water treatment plants.
"Just keep up the good work," Tatum said.
* Inquiries are being made about the building formerly occupied by Suzy Q's, according to city officials. "They're wanting to have a pool hall and serve liquor," said Tatum. He recommended the Board deny any liquor licenses for such a business, adding, "We have enough taverns, we have enough hangouts in town."
Tatum said he would not be opposed to another pool hall if no liquor was served there.
* A city resident voiced concerns about a local roofing company cooking tar in town.
"They're not supposed to cook it there," she said. "They're only supposed to have offices and equipment there. ... It's too close to residential."
Police Chief Roger Moore agreed to visit the business and discuss the issue.

SOUTHWEST DEFENSE COMPLEX: AMERICA'S FUTURE DEFENSE -- HON. WILLIAM M. THOMAS (Extension of Remarks - September 24, 1998)
[Page: E1791]
in the House of Representatives
Mr. THOMAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the Southwest Defense Complex, a proposal to consolidate defense research, development, testing, evaluation, and training in the Southwest United States. This proposal links 12 bases in 5 states (California, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona) and will focus on addressing two of the challenges facing defense in the future: the use of communication technology to transfer information across great distances in order to attack efficiently and with higher success rates and the ability to use resources to their maximum in a time of decreasing defense budgets. This consolidation is vital to the future of U.S. national security and for the Department of Defense to achieve optimum use of its facilities. The Southwest is ideal for defense research and training because of the large amount of land, air, and sea space in the region.
Future warfare promises to be very different from war in the past. Dependence on technology is steadily increasing; as such, the ability to manage information will be the key to battle. A futuristic attack may play out like this: knowledge about the enemy and targets to be hit are obtained from large distances. Then the armed services evaluate targets based on priority and decide what resources to use against them. Decisions about each step may be made by individuals who are thousands of miles away from each other: the soldier on the ground who obtains the information about possible targets, the commander who decides which targets to hit, and the pilot who fires the weapons. The effect of the attack can be assessed within moments and the pilot can be updated as he travels. The coming dependence on technology that provides fast, accurate transmission of information will cause the coming years to be unlike any other era in history.
The Department of Defense is reevaluating how it researches, develops, and tests new technologies and trains personnel. We are developing tactics to use our superior information systems to maximize use of equipment and fighting personnel, thus decreasing costs and human risk. As technology becomes cheaper and more accessible, we must be ready to confront others with sophisticated technologies. Lastly, our need to adapt our defense strategy and structures comes at a time when our military budget is decreasing. This change makes it even more critical for the Department of Defense to find a more streamlined way to squeeze the maximum out of its resources.
These challenges require our military to respond with increased integration and consolidation of research, development, testing, and training, and the Southwest provides the perfect opportunity to perform these activities. Multiple use of resources between branches of the service is necessary in order to make sure that precious resources are used to their fullest. For example, it makes much more sense to develop missiles in one place instead of in five different locations. Bases in the Southwest have already begun to share resources and cooperate in testing. Navy and Air Force facilities in California share the use of optical sensors for visual tracking of aircraft, so that each service does not have to duplicate investment. The western range bases have a common data display format so that they may easily share information. F-15 aircraft stationed at Edwards Air Force Base are flown against unmanned drones at the Naval Air Warfare Center at Pt. Mugu, both in California, so that they do not have to fly cross-country. We need to encourage the services to continue taking such efficient and cost-effective steps. This resource use is the foundation of the proposed Southwest Defense Complex and is the reason that the Complex is critically important.
The Southwest provides a great deal of space to test new technology and train soldiers to use it, both of which are vital to the successful defense of our nation in the future. In order to develop technology in the most cost-effective manner, lab and field-testing need to be in close proximity to each other. Technology can then be developed, tested in the field, and sent back to the lab in order to be adapted further to the battle environment. Commercial technology can be quickly adapted to military uses in order to decrease costs. The most cost-effective way to test and train commercial technology is to have the lab that is adapting it in the vicinity of the field where it is being tested. On the human side of the operation, in order for operations to run smoothly, military personnel need to train as they expect to fight. Soldiers should practice and train maneuvers using technologies in a real-world environment. In this way, both the technology and the people that use it will be as prepared as possible for future threats to national security while utilizing military resources to their maximum.
Physical space is vital to the type of testing and training just described. A single open-air test range requires nearly two million acres of open land. The Southwest is the only region of the country that offers land of this size, as well as air and sea space needed for other kinds of testing. The Southwest offers over 335 million acres of federally owned land. Over 490 thousand square miles of air space is available in the Southwest, and 484 thousand square miles of sea are open for training activities. This land can be used without the interference from civilians or substantial electromagnetic interference--both of which are a problem in the rest of the country.
Climate and weather considerations are also critical to testing and training under the most efficient conditions. The Southwest's weather and climate are ideal for these purposes. For example, China Lake Naval Air Warfare Center in California has 260 clear days per year and has very low levels of atmospheric distortion. Visibility at China Lake is frequently over 100 miles and seismic activity is very low. However, there are a variety of climates in the Southwest Complex: arid deserts, cold and icy climates, and mildly humid and moist seashores. These conditions provide optimum circumstances for training and testing since the region combines a variety of climates for real-world testing with optimum weather for maximum efficiency in use of time.
Thus, the Southwest offers advantages that no other area of the country can. We have large amounts of open air, land, and sea space for testing and training, particularly of new and commercially-adapted technology. We offer existing facilities with personnel with experience in sharing of equipment in order to have maximum benefits from scarce resources. These assets make the Southwest Defense Complex critical to the future of defense and national security and they allow the Department of Defense to thoroughly prepare for future threats using state-of-the-art technology while decreasing costs. This is an opportunity that the United States cannot afford to pass up. I thank my colleague, Rep.
for his support of the Southwest Defense Complex. I especially want to thank those in my district who have put forth great efforts to advocate this proposal such as Steve Perez, Ken Peterson, and John McQuiston of the Kern County Board of Supervisors.
I strongly urge my colleagues to support the Southwest Defense Complex in order to enhance our national security for the future.

Deakin's medicine course provides you with a comprehensive understanding of the practice of medicine. There is an emphasis on the early development of clinical, communication and procedural skills, diagnosis and management of chronic diseases, and multidisciplinary teamwork, as well as an emphasis on rural and regional medicine. Honours and PhD courses in medicine are available. For graduates of medicine and allied health we offer a Graduate Certificate of Agricultural Health and Medicine and a Master of Clinical Leadership.
What can I study?
The Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery (BMBS) is a four-year, graduate-entry program and is accredited by the Australian Medical Council (AMC).
- Knowledge of Health and Illness
- Doctor and Patient
- Public Health Medicine
- Ethics, Law and Professional Development.
Four themes are visible throughout the course:
Graduates who satisfactorily complete an accredited intern year following successful completion of this course will qualify as registered medical practitioners in Australia and New Zealand.
Why study at Deakin?
Problem-based and multidisciplinary learning
In the first two years, you'll mainly learn via problem-based learning. You'll analyse real cases in small groups to learn the basic sciences required to practise medicine. There is a strong emphasis on information technology, which has become an essential part of clinical practice, and on early clinical experience including simulation-based teaching.
You'll also work with students and practitioners from a range of other health disciplines including nursing, psychology, social work, occupational therapy and dietetics. This experience introduces you to working in multidisciplinary teams and develops your understanding of the expertise and role of different health professionals.
Practical work experience and clinical based learning
The first two years of the medicine course are based at the Geelong Waurn Pond's Campus. During this time, you'll attend clinical sites such as hospitals, general practices and community health centres in the Geelong region.
For the third and fourth years of the course, you'll choose one of four clinical schools in Geelong, Ballarat, Warrnambool or Box Hill. Some third year students will have the opportunity to spend the year attached to a general practice in one of a number of rural centres in Western Victoria as part of the Integrated Model of Medical Education in Rural Settings (IMMERSe) program.
Teaching and research excellence
Students are taught and supervised by dedicated and experienced academic staff and clinicians.
The School of Medicine houses a vibrant program of research, including more than 30 research staff, as well as a growing cohort of research students. The school has already established a reputation for research excellence, underpinned by success in National Health and Medical Research Council and other competitive funding schemes, and research publications in high-impact journals. In the 2012 Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) assessment Deakin received the highest possible ranking (5/5 – well above world standard) for research in Medical and Health Sciences. Only seven of Australia's 39 universities were ranked at this level.

(Sep 26, 2000)
I have just recently finished Dragonquest by Anne McAffery and I thought it was great!! Last year most of my friends were telling me that I HAD to read the Dragonriders of Pern Series, but I never got a chance to. This summer I finally picked up Dragonflight, and never put it down, I stayed up till my eyes wouldn't open anymore just reading the book. I couldn't put it down. I think that Ms. McAffery is a very good writer. She has strong characters that are described and have a consisiten personality. My favorite was Lessa. And I liked how she didn't concentrate so much on what the woman (and men) looked like, but their actions that mattered.

Really OLD Handmade Spoon Pin Cushion MUST C
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $55.00
- Item Not Available
Well, if you are into collecting old sewing related items you are going to love this. I haven't touched it. It is an old pin cushion (65+ yrs) made out of an old silverplated soup spoon. The cushion part is moss green velvet, with fancy braiding going around it along with a lace border. My guess is that the lace may have been once white, but now is a nice vintage light tan color. The spoon has a curl in the handle which is just beautiful and the cushion part has pins stuck on it. Please see photos. 2 1/2 x 5". Height is about 2 1/4". As far as condition it has all of the quality you would want from a primitive type piece. Meaning lots of character. Enjoy!

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750 GB SATA Hard Drive
Introduction and the Drive
Published: 7th August 2006 | Source: Seagate | Price: |Introduction
With more and more people wanting to use their PC for recording live television, storing lossless audio and installing modern large-size game files, the hard drive industry has had to keep up. Seagate are a well-known force in the industry and well respected among technology enthusiasts.
Today I have Seagates "monster" 750GB hard drive. Using perpendicular recording to achieve this huge storage space in a 3.5" form factor, are Seagate onto a winner with this 3/4 terabyte drive?
The Drive
Let's take a look at the drive itself. As you are probably aware, hard drives are not much to look at and Seagates drive is about the same. It's pretty square and looks solid.
Seagate sent this in awesome wrapping, but expect your drive to come like this:
The bottom shows us the PCB. Nothing unusual here then.
And of course the all-important label stating the size. How much can I fit on this?
When we look at the connecters you notice that there is no molex connecter, nor is there space to put one or a blanked out space. It looks like Seagate expect people who can afford this drive to afford to have a PSU with SATA conencters, which is fair enough.

UTICA � In 2005, the therapeutic recreation department at St. Luke�s Home created a fundraiser that helps residents who lack personal funds be able to enjoy recreational activities.
On select Wednesdays throughout the summer, they began selling a hot dog, chips and soda for $2, freshly grilled outside of the residential facility.
Since its inception, more than $10,000 has been raised.
The funds provide residents with activities ranging from hair care services to community outings, as well as to purchase personal items such as CD players or craft supplies.
Even now, the price has stayed the same and the fundraiser is going strong. Sales are scheduled for Wednesdays, Aug. 28 and Sept. 11, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. outside of St. Luke�s Home at the Center for Rehabilitation and Continuing Care Services, 1650 Champlin Ave., Utica.

The World Cup may be over, and yes the English team may have failed miserably. But that is all behind us now. Its time for a new season, and England has a chance to redeem themselves.
How, I hear you ask? Through our brand new 'Odd XI's league'.
We have built a number of star-studded teams; an English XI, a French XI, a Spanish XI, a Rest of Europe XI and a Non-European XI.
Remember, there is a budget of 100m so not every player could be selected, but it will be very interesting to see who takes the prize. Below is the English XI:
Three Liverpool players feature in the English starting lineup ; all whom experienced fantastic form throughout last season. Jack Rodwell is a massive bargain at just 1m and one we expect could rack up a number of assists this season. Ashley Young is also a must have at just 4.94m. Baines and Hart are more pricey but we can expect a high points yield from the pair.
Now onto the French XI:
Now, before we go on, we must admit something… Benjamin Siegrist is not French. We couldn't find another French goalkeeper, and he's from Belgium so that's close enough. Featuring three Arsenal players in the starting lineup, including the defensive powers of Mathieu Debuchy and Laurent Koscielny, they could be title contenders. They have newboys Gomis and Rivière, who may well pop up with a goal from time to time.
Next the Spanish XI:
This team is actually a lot weaker than I originally thought it would be. They have the attacking ability of Cesc Fabregas and Juan Mata but the team lacks backbone.They will be relying heavily on David de Gea to earn them much needed clean sheets. We expect them to struggle.
Next the Rest of Europe XI:
This is an extremely solid side. Now, given all the World Cup hype, we had originally planned to create an all-German XI, but struggled to find more than about eight players. Having said this, they alone would probably have beaten the English XI! This lineup is filled with superstars. Eden Hazard, Aaron Ramsey, Thibault Courtois… the list goes on. In my opinion, Jelavic and Jovetic are similar not only in spelling, but in the fact that both are bargains! We expect this team to do very well.
Next we have the ultimate Non-European XI
Surely this team is title favourites! With a team featuring mainly South Americans, we can expect a lot of points from this side. Fernandinho, at £6.45m, is a must have, as is Filipe Luis, Chelsea's new left back, at 9m. Then, there's the front three of Sanchez, Agüero and the wonderfully underpriced Altidore. If you're feeling a bit lazy, just use this team! It'll surely do well.
We have also built for you two more teams! A solely Left Footed XI and a Right Footed XI. Below are the two sides:
This will be a very interesting battle. Given the higher number of right-footed players in the game, you'd expect them to take control. However, with names like David Silva and Robin Van Persie in the left footed team, it's anybody's guess who'll win.
We will be updating you often on the progress of the League and in May 2015, we will FINALLY know who's better; left footed, right footed, English or French (with a Belgian).

Concept Paper
Nonstop Selection for High and Stable Crop Yield by Two Prognostic Equations to Reduce Yield Losses
Department of Plant Breeding, Agricultural Research Institute, P.O. Box 22016, 1516 Nicosia, Cyprus
Received: 18 June 2012 / Revised: 21 August 2012 / Accepted: 23 August 2012 / Published: 7 September 2012

AbstractYield losses occurring at the field level, whether due to plant diseases or abiotic stresses, reveal reduced stability of the crop yield potential. The paper argues that the stability of crop yield potential is a trait with a clear genetic component, which can be successfully selected for at the single-plant level and incorporated into high-yielding cultivars. Two novel selection equations with prognostic power are presented, capable to objectively phenotype and evaluate individual plants in real field conditions in the absence of the masking effects of interplant competition and soil heterogeneity. The equations predict performance at the crop stand through the key concept of coefficient of homeostasis and are equally useful for early generation selection and for nonstop selection within finished cultivars in order to continuously incorporate the adaptive (genetic or epigenetic) responses of plants. Exploitation of adaptive responses acquires particular importance in view of the climate change effects on crop productivity and the changing biotic or abiotic micro-environments. Cotton is used as a case study to highlight the potential of nonstop selection for increasing crop yield and for the gradual build-up of disease resistance. In addition, the paper envisions and proposes the formation of international networks of researchers focusing on specific diseases as, for example, the cereal root-rot or the cotton Verticillium wilt that will concurrently use the proposed strategy in their respective environments to select for resistant genotypes, while gaining a deeper understanding of the nature of the genetic or epigenetic changes at the phenotypic and genomic levels.

PORTSMOUTH — Police are warning the community to be on the alert after responding to three separate heroin overdoses in the last 24 hours.
Deputy Police Chief Corey MacDonald said Wednesday night that it is unclear whether the drugs involved were either potent or tainted. MacDonald said it is also unknown whether the drugs involved in each case are connected.
The identity and conditions of the overdose victims was not immediately available, he said.
MacDonald said police as a result are urging anyone who either uses heroin or knows someone who uses heroin from a local source to exercise extreme caution.
"Three apparent heroin overdoses in Portsmouth in the last 24 hours is certainly a cause for concern," he said.
Anyone with information about the overdoses is asked to contact the Portsmouth Police Detective Division at 610-7434.
You can also contact Seacoast Crime Stoppers by leaving an anonymous tip at 431-1199 or at www.seacoastcrimestoppers.org. You can also text your tip to CRIMES (274637) with the letters "TIPSCS" and leave your tip that way. If your tip leads to an arrest or indictment of the individual you could receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Sighting Details
While walking south on new street in Bethlehem PA at 9pm I observed a bright red light several miles high and moving fast. What caught my attention was how bright and unlike a plane the light was. There were no flashing lights. It was startling how different it was from anything you'd expect to see in the sky. After about 5 seconds the object veered south hard, but not angular, and several seconds later my view was about to be obscured by a building so I ran to get in the clear. When I did I saw the object to be further south and much higher in the southern sky then it disappeared. Coincidence 1: About 2 seconds after it disappeared, I saw a dark/grey orb at about the height of a 5 story building moving east, slowly descending across the skyline then out of view due to obstruction from buildings. Coincidence 2: The next day, a friend who lives 10 miles away put a video up online from the night before which depicted several red lights exactly like what I saw.

Roger rolls into 3rd round
Roger continued his progress through the draw at Flushing Meadows with a 6-3 6-4 7-5 victory over Tim Henman (ATP 62) on Friday.
He has now won their last five meetings - having lost six of their first seven encounters.
Roger won the opening set in just 39 minutes. He broke twice in the second set before Henman finally came to life, breaking the defending champion for the first and only time before Roger closed out. The third set was much closer as the Briton began to advance in to the net and put some confidence in his trademark volleys. But Tim Henman was having no joy on the Roger serve, and the world number one managed to crank up the pressure to break at 5-5 before closing out the match.
"I thought it was a solid match because I didn't give him any chances on my own service games and that's what I wanted to do from the start," said Roger.
He will face either American Vince Spadea or Jonas Bjorkman of Sweden in the third round.
My simple heart is with you. Dreaming and wishing you beating Nadal at the finale next sunday. Most important that you figure out how to tame, to neutralize his aggressive left-handed strokes.
All the Best,
From MONTREAL
I thought your match yesterday was wonderful. I was meant to be going out with my friends but i refused to go until the match had finished. I especially loved the shot between your legs. You looked so gorgeous when you were smilin
Thank you for the entertaining & wonderful match..feel sorry for Tim..
Good Luck........
I know i keep saying this but it was a brilliant display of tennis from start to finish you are back to your best once again iam loving it.
Oh my god what a shot in the third set through the legs roger i was laughing with you it was brilli
Very Very well Done!!!!!!
and All the very best for the next Round!!!
Congratulations! Good match Roger very compliment! Watched you today and it was really enjoyable. You are the best!
Thank you for your play.

Supervision and Duty Hours
University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics
Policy for Pediatric Pulmonary Resident Supervision and Duty Hours
The University of Iowa Children's Hospital, Pediatric Pulmonary Residency Program ensures that it provides appropriate supervision for all residents, as well as a duty hour schedule and a work environment that optimizes quality patient care, fortifies the educational trajectory of house staff members, and addresses all applicable program requirements. On-call duties are necessary components of the UIHC clinical care systems and educational programs; these duties are managed to ensure adequate periods of rest with appropriate levels of supervision to deliver safe, effective patient care. (The terms "resident" or "house staff member" used in this policy shall refer to resident and fellow physicians and dentists at all house staff levels.)
The clinical activities of all residents are supervised by teaching staff and/or more advanced house staff members in such a way as to ensure that residents assume progressively increasing responsibility according to each resident's level of education, ability and experience. The teaching staff determines the level of responsibility accorded to each resident. On-call schedules for teaching staff and more advanced house staff members are structured to ensure supervision is readily available to those on duty. Call is no more frequent than that approved by the Pediatric RRC of the ACGME.
The following guidelines have been established to assure the appropriate supervision of house staff:
1. Inpatient Rotations
All patients admitted to the pediatric pulmonary inpatient service are assigned an attending general or subspecialty pediatrician. While on the inpatient service, Pediatric Pulmonary fellows are on home call one in every three nights. There is no inpatient call.
Daily attending rounds are made by the attending faculty who remains actively involved in directing patient care. The fellows are given progressively increasing responsibility, while continuously maintained under faculty supervision. The first-year fellow typically sees patients in the morning and participates in rounds. They also see any consults to the Pediatric Pulmonary service. Fellows transition over to this supervisory capacity to the point where they are expected to direct rounds during their third year. There is an attending general or subspecialty pediatrician available 24 hours a day for consultation and is physically present when required.
While on the inpatient rotation, three afternoons a week, the fellow participates in the outpatient clinic or similar non-inpatient activity and are relieved of all inpatient and consult responsibilities during this time. Faculty members from the Allery-Pulmonary Division are assigned to staff the pediatric outpatient clinic on a daily basis. Scheduled patients or walk-ins seen in the pediatric clinic are evaluated initially by pediatric fellows and then are staffed by the faculty from the Pediatric Allergy-Pulmonary Division. Each fellow has the opportunity to schedule a panel of patients that he or she follows in a continuity fashion for one half-day a week for their 3 years of training. The care of patients is supervised by faculty in all settings.
2. Research Rotations
While on the research rotation, one afternoon a week, the fellow participates in the outpatient clinic or similar non-inpatient activity and are relieved of all research responsibilities during this time. While on a research rotation, Pediatric Pulmonary Fellows are on home call one in every three nights. There is no inpatient call.
The Pediatric Pulmonary Residency programdemonstrates that the appropriate level of supervision is in place for all patients cared for by all residents. Every pediatric patient has an attending pediatrician assigned who is responsible to assure the excellence of medical care and to supervise and teach pediatric house staff involved in the care of that patient. The Pediatric Allergy Pulmonary service is continuously covered by a faculty member who is accessible at any time by means of the pager system.0; These levels of supervision include:
- Direct Supervision – The supervising physician or dentist is physically present with the resident and patient.
- Indirect Supervision
i) with direct supervision immediately available – The supervising physician or dentist is physically present within the hospital or other site of patient care, and is immediately available to provide direct supervision.
ii) with direct supervision available – The supervising physician or dentist is not physically present within the hospital or other site of patient care, but is immediately available by means of telephonic and/or electronic modalities, and is available to provide direct supervision.
PGY 1 residents are supervised either directly or indirectly with direct supervision immediately available while they acquire basic knowledge and skills specific to the specialty. Activities of PGY 2 residents and above are supervised by any level of supervision, as appropriate to the patient situation and resident capability. Supervision does not equate merely to the presence of more senior physicians or dentists nor with the absence of independent decision making on the part of residents. These supervision standards encompass the concepts of graded authority, responsibility and conditional independence that are the foundation of delegation of authority to more senior house staff members.
The Pediatric Allergy-Pulmonary service is continuously covered by a faculty member who is accessible at any time by means of the pager system. Fellows must communicate with the appropriate supervising faculty with all inpatient, and outpatient management as well as for patients admitted to the hospital.
Fellows' work hours are monitored by the Program Director and Program Coordinator by means of a work hour record on MedHub that fellows are expected to be completed weekly. The work hours for day and night duty on all rotations are designed such that hours worked will fall within the ACGME rules for resident work hours: no more than 80 hours per week when averaged over 4 weeks; one day off in seven when averaged over 4 weeks; post call, residents are excused by 1100 on the post call day if on an in-patient service, and 0730 following check out if on an outpatient rotation unless they have their continuity clinic that morning; there is at least a 10 hour period free of clinical duty between shifts.
All residents will report any concerns about resident hours directly to the Program Director or via rotational evaluations solicited at the end of every rotation
Specific duty hour requirements are as follows:
1. Maximum Hours of Work per Week: The duty hours of any resident must be limited to 80 hours per week (or other applicable limit as specified by the appropriate Residency Review Committee (RRC), when averaged over a 4-week period, inclusive of all in-house call activities and any moonlighting activities. Any time spent in the UIHC or at another institution for clinical and academic purposes, related to the residency or fellowship program, both inpatient and outpatient, shall count toward the weekly maximum. Additionally, the weekly maximum shall include time spent for administrative duties related to patient care, the transfer of patient care, scheduled academic activities such as conferences, research related to the program, and any time the resident spends on-site after being called in to the hospital. Not included in the weekly maximum is time spent outside of UIHC (or outside another institution related to the program's academic purposes) for academic preparation, reading, and studying.
2. Maximum Duty Period Length:
- PGY 1 residents– scheduled duty periods must not exceed 16 hours in duration.
- PGY 2 and above residents – no schedule shall exceed a maximum of 24 hours of continuous duty in the hospital, with no more than 4 additional hours used for any transitional activities (i.e. maintaining continuity of medical and surgical care, transferring patient care, or attending educational sessions).
- In no event shall the PGY 2 or above resident accept a new patient (any patient for whom the resident has not previously provided care) during this 4-hour extension period.
- PGY 2 or above residents must not be assigned additional clinical responsibilities after 24 hours of continuous in-house duty.
- In unusual circumstances, PGY 2 and above residents, on their own initiative, may remain beyond their scheduled period of duty to continue to provide care to a single patient. Justifications for such extensions of duty are limited to reasons of required continuity for a severely ill or unstable patient, academic importance of the events transpiring or humanistic attention to the needs of a patient or family. Residents must appropriately hand over the care of all other patients to the team responsible for their continuing care.
- Any resident exceeding maximum duty period lengths will document their justification in the institution's resident management system (i.e. MedHub).
- The Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship program has minimized the number of handoffs to ensure the best possible patient care. Fellow generally have one month block where they are on Inpatient or Research rotations which minimizes handoffs except for change of rotation block and weekends.
3. Maximum Frequency of Over-Night In-House On-Call Duties: In-house call must not be scheduled more frequently than every third night when averaged over a 4-week period.
4. Maximum Frequency of In-House Night Float: Residents must not be scheduled for more than six consecutive nights of night float or as specified further by the program's RRC, as applicable.
5. Mandatory Time Free of Duty: Residents must be scheduled for a minimum of one day free of duty every week (when averaged over four weeks).This day off shall not include home call nor shall the resident be required to carry a pager. A day is defined as 24 consecutive hours.
6. Minimum Time Off between Scheduled Duty Periods:Based on the level of the resident, there are identified levels of time off between scheduled duty periods.
- PGY 1 residents – should have 10 hours, and must have 8 hours, free of duty between scheduled duty periods.
- Intermediate level residents (as defined by the program's RRC) – should have 10 hours, and must have 8 hours between scheduled duty periods. They must have at least 14 hours free of duty after 24 continuous hours of in-house duty.
- Final year residents (as defined by the program's RRC) – can participate in transition to practice activities when they are preparing to care for patients over irregular or extended periods. It is still desirable that these residents have 8 hours free of duty between scheduled duty periods, but there may be circumstances where residents must stay on duty to care for their patients or return to the hospital after shorter intervals.
- The Program Director monitors time off between scheduled duty periods.
7. Home call: Residents returning to the hospital from home call must count their time spent in the hospital towards the 80-hour maximum weekly hour limit. The frequency of home call is not subject to the every-third-night limitation but must satisfy the requirement for 1 day in 7 free of duty, when averaged over 4 weeks.
- Home call activities must not be so frequent as to preclude rest and reasonable personal time for each resident.
- Residents are permitted to return to the hospital while on home call to care for new or established patients. Each episode of this type of care, while it must be included in the 80-hour weekly maximum, will not initiate a new "off-duty period."
8. Moonlighting: Moonlighting is governed by the Moonlighting Policy and Procedures for House Staff Physicians and Dentists. All requirements of that policy must also be followed, including visa and license requirements. In order to ensure against any adverse effects on the resident's educational or clinical program, the following departmental policy has been established for pediatric residents wishing to moonlight:
A. Each fellow wishing to moonlight must submit a single request in writing to the Program Director and the Department Head. The request will set forth the circumstances necessitating moonlighting. The form for making such a request may be obtained from the Program Director. The PD and Head will evaluate and respond to such requests on an individual fellow basis.Approval can be for no longer than one year and may be revoked during the course of the year pursuant to the program's policy.
B. Fellows must have a permanent physician's license to moonlight outside of the institution. The "resident physician" license issued by the state is not valid for professional activity outside the training program.
C. Fellows must possess adequate professional liability insurance.The professional insurance protection provided by the State Tort Claims Act does not protect the resident when he or she is engaged in clinical practice outside of the scope of the training program. The house staff member is responsible for obtaining appropriate medical malpractice/professional liability coverage for moonlighting activities. Evidence of such insurance is required before approval is granted.
D. Total hours worked, including those hours worked as part of the training program and those hours devoted to moonlighting, must not exceed the standard set by the Pediatric Residency Review Committee/ACGME. These standards state that each resident should have a monthly average of one day out of seven without clinical responsibilities and work no more than 80 hours per week on average, when averaged over four weeks. Moonlighting at UIHC counts toward the 80 hour work week.
G. Any fellow wishing to moonlight must have obtained scores on the American Board of Pediatrics In-Training Examination which indicate the likelihood of passing the board exam after training is completed.
H. Any fellow wishing to moonlight should discuss the pros and cons with his/her faculty preceptor prior to initiating a formal request to the Program Director.
It should be noted:
Moonlighting is never required and must not interfere with the ability of the resident to achieve the goals and objectives of the educational program.
- The resident must obtain permission of his/her Program Director prior to the beginning of such activities. All approved requests must be filed with the GME Office.
- Time spent by residents in internal and external moonlighting must be counted toward the 80-hour maximum weekly hour limit. Failure to completely document all time in moonlighting activities will result in suspension of the moonlighting privilege.
- PGY 1 residents are not permitted to moonlight.
The Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship program meets the requirements of this policy as well as any applicable standard set by the ACGME, the appropriate RRC, or other accrediting or certifying body.This policy is distributed by the GME Office to all GME employment contract holders as well as The Pediatric Residency also distributes this policy at the time of orientationThe Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship programmonitors resident duty hours with a frequency sufficient to ensure compliance with this policy and the ACGME/RRC/other accrediting or certifying body's rules.

I am really bad and don't know much about degrees or inches/feet, NSWE or anything like that, so I did a really bad job filling out the thing for a report.. This happened a couple of hours ago.. It was nighttime.. The street lights pollute the sky a little bit.. I was outside listening to Coast to Coast AM waiting for the meteor shower.. I was looking for meteors, and that's when I saw this disk shape object "glide" by in the sky.. It just, glided, so smoothly.. It was nuts.. It was obviously a solid object.. I guess you could say that it was a disk.. I say disk and circle, because I don't think that there is a big difference? It didn't look like it had a room sticking out of the top of it. And, there were NO windows or anything that I could see.. But it was THICK. This was my first UFO experience ever! It looked like a metallic color, a dirty, dark, metallic color, but it wasn't reflective.. Not that I could tell anyway.. It wasn't as big as I expected a UFO to be.. It wasn't huge or anything.. It was about as high as if you would stack two normal sized trees on top of one another facing up. That's about how high it was.. It flew over one of the buildings here, and a couple of trees next to the buildings, and of course there were power lines around.. I AM NOT CRAZY! THIS IS THE MOST "REAL" THING THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!.. It looked so 3D, too.. It looked so REAL yet it 'seemed' "unreal".. It's hard to explain, I was in shock..Shock. I had a GREAT view of it, too.. It went by in a perfectly straight line.. Smoothly. I could tell that it was "thick" it was not really "flat".. I had a HUGE panic attack after I saw it.. When I saw it at first. I just kind of sat there and stared.. I guess that I saw it for a few seconds, but those seconds seemed like minutes when it happened.. It did not shoot across the sky like a shooting star. It moved slower than that, but it was still fast.. It was slow enough for me to realize that it was thick, and a dark dirty metallic color, I guess.. It was obvious in the sky... It stood out like a sore thumb. There was NO SOUND. NO LIGHTS. It was very smooth. I just sat there and stared until it disappeared into the distance. As soon as it was gone I grabbed my lawn chair and went to the front door as fast as I could.. I had a panic attack for like an hour.. I was trembling, shaking.. I just can't believe it.. I have NEVER seen a UFO until now... I was actually afraid to post this.. I was debating about it for a while. That's why I am not going to give out my name or exact location.. I still need to process this.. I am NOT going back outside to see the shower.. Screw that! I have attached a picture/description of what I saw.. I can't draw, though, lol. But hopefully you will get it. I don't think that I am going to be able to sleep tonight. lol.

Since it is broken, how can I reset everything back to defaults and
delete its memory datas? I need to send it to Palm to get it replaced. I
already did a Hotsynch on a computer. Obviously, I don't want Palm to
have the datas. I couldn't find it in the manual and there is no reset
hole like the old Palm Pilots.
Thank you in advance. :)

The Best Sugar Cookie Recipes For Christmas
What would Christmas be without sweet, fragrant sugar cookies, soft and warm from the oven?
Understanding Sugar Cookies
When it comes to Christmas sugar cookies, you've got two basic choices:
- Drop cookies: Make these cookies by dropping spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet. These are the quickest and easiest option, but don't allow for much decoration.
- Roll cookies: You'll need to chill and roll out the dough before cutting it into cookie shapes. Roll cookies take a little longer, but you get flat, easy-to-decorate and professional-looking cookies in crisp shapes.
If you're pressed for time, try this easy recipe:
Drop Sugar Cookies
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1-cup butter
- 1-cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2½ tablespoons milk or soymilk.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly cream butter and sugar.
- Beat egg and vanilla into the butter and sugar mixture.
- Add dry mixture gradually, and gently beat until smooth.
- Mix in the milk.
- Drop dough by rounded teaspoonful onto greased cookie sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
- Bake about 10 minutes, or until the cookies begin to brown.
If you want to shape your cookies, try:
Roll Sugar Cookies
- 3/4 cups butter, softened
- 1 1/8 cups sugar

- ½ teaspoon salt.
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Beat in vanilla and eggs.
- Sift together flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gently stir dry ingredients into wet mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Roll out dough to a thickness of ¼ to ½ inch on floured surface.
- Cut into holiday shapes with cookie cutters.
- Transfer cookies to ungreased cookie sheets, about an inch apart.
- Bake about seven minutes.

- Create one-inch dough balls and roll them in powdered sugar.
- Arrange dough balls on cookie sheets, about two inches apart and flatten with a fork.
