Hospitals asked to participate in survey on NG feeding tubes
The New Opportunities for Verification of Enteral Tube Location (NOVEL) Project, sponsored by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, Silver Spring, Md., invites hospitals to participate in a one-day prevalence study of nasogastric (NG) feeding tubes in infants and children. The information will aid research designed to better understand the risks of NG tube placement verification. Email Sharon Irving if your hospital would like to participate.
Participate in survey on nurses' intent to speak up about patient safety concerns
Deborah Crumpler, a doctoral candidate at The University of Texas at Tyler, College of Nursing, invites critical care nurses to participate in a survey on the influence of attitudes and beliefs on nurses' intention to speak up about patient safety concerns. Email Crumpler with questions.
CNE article in CCN reviews safe administration of IV prostacyclins
"Safety Recommendations for Administering Intravenous Prostacyclins in the Hospital," a continuing nursing education (CNE) article in October's Critical Care Nurse (CCN), reviews safety measures in administration of high-risk intravenous (IV) medications and describes a set of recommendations for the infusion of prostacyclins.
ICU patients' risk for long-term cognitive impairment
ICU patients are at "high risk for long-term cognitive impairment," according to "Long-Term Cognitive Impairment After Critical Illness," published Oct. 3 in The New England Journal of Medicine. A longer duration of delirium is associated with worse global cognition and worse executive function at 3 and 12 months.
Neurologically critically ill patients can be screened for pain, sedation and delirium
"Evaluating Pain, Sedation, and Delirium in the Neurologically Critically Ill - Feasibility and Reliability of Standardized Tools: A Multi-Institutional Study" finds that pain and sedation can be assessed in neurologically critically ill patients, and most patients can be screened for delirium with excellent inter-rater reliability. "Increased proportion of Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist items is associated with worse outcomes," concludes the study in August's Critical Care Medicine.
Preoperative hematocrit predicts adverse outcomes after CABG
Preoperative hematocrit is a "powerful independent predictor of perioperative mortality as well as renal failure and deep sternal wound infection" in patients undergoing primary coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, according to "Preoperative Hematocrit Is a Powerful Predictor of Adverse Outcomes in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Report From The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database," posted online Sept. 23 in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery.
New studies in October's Critical Care Medicine
"Impact of Critical Care Telemedicine Consultations on Children in Rural Emergency Departments" finds that quality of care is "higher for patients who received consultations with telemedicine than for patients who received either telephone or no consultation."
"RBC Transfusion Practices Among Critically Ill Patients: Has Evidence Changed Practice?" suggests that "evidence supporting restrictive RBC transfusion thresholds may not be uniformly translated into practice in different hospital settings."
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
During October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, encourage regular breast screening to promote early detection of cancer. Download a toolkit with more ideas. About one in eight women born in the U.S. today will get breast cancer at some point during her life, and more than 2,000 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.
New module focuses on patient and family engagement
"Patient and Family Engagement," the newest module in the Comprehensive Unit-Based Safety Program toolkit from the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality, Rockville, Md., focuses on making sure patients and families understand what is happening during the patient's hospital stay, are active participants in the patient's care and are prepared for discharge.
Bath salts involved in more than 20,000 drug-related ED visits in 2011
Bath salts were involved in 22,904 of the nearly 2.5 million emergency department (ED) visits related to drug misuse or abuse in 2011, according to a Sept. 17 report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Rockville, Md.
FDA announcements
On Oct. 1, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Silver Spring, Md., announced that CareFusion, San Diego, recalled its AVEA ventilators. When using the neonatal hotwire flow sensor, the tidal volume could be underreported, causing the patient to receive a higher than expected tidal volume.
On Oct. 2, the FDA announced that Hospira, Lake Forest, Ill., recalled one lot of metoclopramide injection and two lots of ondansetron injection, because glass strands were found on the inside of vial walls.
Film available for community screening
The award-winning film "Where Soldiers Come From" examines a group of young men as they change from reckless teenagers to soldiers looking for roadside bombs in Afghanistan to 23-year-old veterans dealing with posttraumatic stress disorder. In time for a Veterans Day event, the film's producers have launched a tool that makes it easy to set up a community screening. (Veterans Day is Nov. 11.)
Health insurance information

This industry is full of cute sayings, puns and plays on words. So much so that if you work in it, you get kind of numb to it all (I never thought I could get blasé about luxury items for dogs when I started this company - but five years in puppy pinafores is a long time!).
However, I have to admit that even I fell in love with the treats from ModDog Bakery once I heard their name: Yapper-tizers.
Oh, come on. That's cute!
What's even better, if you ask the princess, is the taste. The folks at ModDog sent along two different flavors from their treat selection: "Big Kahuna" flavor, and "Health Mutt". Ever since, the princess pug has been jonesing for a treat fix.
Spoiled? Who pug?
The Big Kahuna treats were really interesting, ingredient-wise - flavors you don't often see in dog treats. Shredded coconut, pineapple and papaya give these treats a real "island" feel (and smell). The pug went nuts at the coconut smell and as I write this, she's sitting beside me looking for another hit of Big Kahuna. The other ingredients were simply oat flour, rolled oats, chicken broth, oil, and baking powder.
As a concerned pet parent, I love these simple ingredients. If I can't approve of - not to mention pronounce - every item in my pet's treats, I don't want her eating them. As far as I'm concerned, chemicals have no place in pet treats and the folks at ModDog certainly share my ideals.
The other flavor, Health Mutt, contained a more slightly more traditional ingredient list. But even here, the company has set themselves apart by including a few twists. These smaller biscuits (they're half the size of the Big Kahuna biscuits, which are the biscuits in the pictures to the right) includ oat flour, rolled oats, cheddar cheese, chicken broth, carrots and celery. The cheese is a great twist that made Merry sit up and get happy.
With all the recalls going on in the past few months, it's tough to know what's safe and what isn't. The folks at ModDog have emphasized that not only do their products not contain wheat gluten, they contain no wheat whatsoever. All treats are wheat and corn free and are made in the USA with ingredients from the USA.
We liked the company's simple designs, their unique recipes, and their commitment to simple, wholesome treats for pets.
Merry, on the other hand, liked the taste. Trying to get a shot of her before she decimated the plate full of Big Kahunas was quite an effort!
The back of every package of ModDog treats comes with a warning: "This product has been proven to cause drooling and may cause extreme excitement in dogs". I've got the proof at my knee, folks - by the way, she says woof. ;)
You can find out more about ModDog Bakery from their web site at www.moddogstudio.com.

- Published Apr 10, 2012

It has the cushioning some runners need without the mushy feeling others can't stand, while the CarbonSpan+ midsole offers unobtrusive stability. The Ultra Kalani 2.0 is also relatively light, which all triathletes can appreciate. Zootsports.com

Jaws: Memories from Martha's Vineyard by Matt Taylor, with a foreword by Steven Spielberg
Expanded 2nd edition. Released September 2012 by Titan Books
312 pages
Review by Mark Yon
Earlier this year, the seminal Spielberg movie Jaws was re-released in cinemas, in a new pristine cut (ready for its release on Blu-Ray). Originally released in 1975, it was the first blockbuster from Spielberg, who then went on to film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Perhaps not unexpectedly, then, we have the release of this lavish (and heavy) book to accompany the re-release.
The book is more than a reminder of the film. It is a record of the making of a classic film on the New England island of Martha's Vineyard. Not only do we have a foreword by Spielberg on the importance of the location in setting the scene for the movie, but the book has interviews with production designer Joe Alves and screenwriter Carl Gottlieb about how the film was developed. For this new second edition, there are sixteen pages of photos never seen before, including storyboards from Joe Alves and photos from crew members' private photos.
Through 312 large format, heavy stock pages, the reader gets an idea of how innovative the making of the film was. There are newspaper clippings, photos, interviews from many of the production staff, pages from the script. It is thoroughly researched and quite exhausting in its detail but (kudos to Matt!) always interesting. I was expecting to be a little disinterested by reams of technical detail but this was not the case. The accounts reflect the humour, the enthusiasm, the hard work involved and the exasperation of working on a film, and as such should be required reading for any budding film maker.
The film was, by many accounts, not an easy one to make, with problems on location and with the mechanical shark prop, budget overruns and scheduling issues, amongst many others. The book does not gloss over these issues, and as a result shows how difficult such a film can be to make. (It also made me realise how difficult making any film involving the ocean can be, which is probably why we don't see that many!) In the days of filmmaking before 'everything was done in a computer', it is a summation of the craft of old-fashioned filmmaking.
This is not cheap, but it is a lovely book. Recommended, not just as the ultimate memoir of a legendary film from an influential director, but as a study of how a film can come together, even when it seems all the odds are against it. As good as Paul M. Sammon's Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner (one of my favourite 'how-the-hell-did-they-make-this-film?' books.)
Made me rush off to find my old copy of the film….
Mark Yon, October 2012

Although Austria's KTM has owned and manufactured Sweden's Husaberg brand of motorcycle since 1997, KTM North America first took over distribution of Husaberg bikes in the United States and Canada Sept. 1, 2007. It's been a busy 12 months since then.
KTM North America, Inc. formed a separate division, Husaberg North America, featuring dedicated sales, parts, accessories and technical departments, then purged Husaberg's previous dealer network, asking dealers who wanted to remain brand loyal to reapply. The current North American network consists of 35 retailers, but there's an ongoing push to expand that number in the next 12 months.
The next hurdle: Introduction of the only two models to be offered by Husaberg in 2009, the FE 450 and FE 570 — of which Husaberg says it plans to bring in about 500 bikes for the coming year.

Mayors Past and Present See Triumph, Risks in Bin Laden's Demise
By Aaron Rutkoff and Jacob Gershman
Following the assassination of Osama bin Laden by U.S. force, political and security leaders from the New York region both cheered a key milestone in the fight against terror and reminded New Yorkers to maintain vigilance amid an ongoing threat.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, speaking at the World Trade Center site Monday afternoon, stressed the importance of the national memorial and museum, which will exist "to ensure that the story of 9/11 is never forgotten." He emphasized the New York Police Department's counter-terrorism capabilities and said the city's security forces would "adjust their strategies and deploy their resources based on the latest information."
Bloomberg also noted the two commitments made after the attacks: to pursue bin Laden and to rebuild the destroyed site. "Osama bin Laden is dead, and the World Trade Center site is teeming with new life," Bloomberg said, on a day when work continued on the new tower rising at Ground Zero.
Like the current mayor, his predecessor Rudolph Giuliani praised President Barack Obama. In an interview with Politico, Giuliani said he "admire[d] the courage of the president to make a decision like this because if something had gone wrong everyone would be blaming him."
The celebrations that broke out at the World Trade Center site and Times Square late Sunday night "makes me feel a little strange, I don't know," he said, adding: "Nothing erases the loss of all those lives."
NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly termed bin Laden's death a "welcome milestone" for the families and friends of al Qaeda's victims as well as those "protecting New York from another attack."
Bernard Kerik, his Giuliani-era counterpart, now serving a four-year prison sentence, sent out a message on Twitter marking the occasion: "Whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done," he wrote, attributing the quote former President George W. Bush.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said bin Laden's demise does little to reduce the threats facing his state. "The threat to our state and our nation unfortunately does not die with Osama bin Laden," he said in a statement released Monday. "We must remain vigilant in preventing terror acts."
In his statement on the killing, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie sounded a defiant note: After years of waiting, justice has finally been delivered," he said, adding that "even in the face of immeasurable horror, democracy and freedom continue to prevail."
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, joining Bloomberg at the World Trade Center site, took a similarly strident view at the podium. "The reason Osama bin Laden is dead is that he never understood America," Quinn said, referring to the al Qaeda leader's assertions the U.S. would fail in its manhunt. Bin Laden, she added, didn't believe "that we would keep struggling to bring them the justice they deserve…so they can finally rest in peace."
Former New York Gov. George Pataki said he shares the White House's reluctance to release images of bin Laden's bullet-ridden body. "I have no interest in seeing the man's face again," he told The Wall Street Journal on Monday. "I don't want to see a picture of him. I don't want to see his face."
The news of bin Laden's death, which touched off cheers of joy on the streets of Manhattan last night, drew a more somber response from Pataki, who was governor during the Sept. 11th attacks. "It's not a day for celebration," he said. "You can't help but reflect on the enormous pain this evil man inflicted on so many Americans."
– This post has been updated to add comments from former Gov. George Pataki.

PFS rolls out seminars to boost IFA protection knowledge
The Protection Review has teamed up with the Personal Finance Society to roll out IFA protection training sessions aimed at improving knowledge and understanding of the protection industry at all levels.
The news comes on the back of predictions that many IFAs will seek to move into commission-paying protection distribution post-Retail Distribution Review - and subsequent concern over how much understanding advisers will have of this complex area.
In a recent FTAdviser article, protection advisers were divided over whether a level 4 qualification is needed to prevent mis-selling.
Peter Chadborn, director of Plan Money, said: "My concern is that, yes, there may be IFAs moving into this area that want to operate like a broker. Perhaps wittingly, perhaps unwittingly... maybe a way to write business but I think it will happen, although it won't be widespread.
"Life offices should be offering education in this area. Protection Review does excellent training and it has been very well received."
Phil Jeynes, head of account development at PruProtect, told FTAdviser that a protection specific qualification would be "a good idea", but he pointed out that in the short term the responsibility will fall to providers.
He said: "The onus is on us as providers to make sure that intermediaries who are active already or new to our market have the skills to sell our products. This is why PruProtect has over 100 face-to-face broker consultants across the UK."
The PFS sessions will cover all aspects of the industry on an interactive/debate basis including an overview of the market, products, sales, underwriting, claims, technical product details and technology, as well as looking at the need for protection, how to introduce the subject and how to overcome objections.
The following IFA training dates have been agreed across the UK: 25 July, Bristol; 11 September, London; 18 September, Bournemouth; 2 October, Exeter and 9 October, London.
Kevin Carr, chief executive of Protection Review and managing director of Kevin Carr Consulting, said: "For a variety of reasons we are seeing a growing focus on protection from advisers, however, while there is lots of good training, there is very little independent training, which is where we come in.
"The aim is to improve overall protection knowledge at all levels, including products, underwriting, sales and much more, without specifically promoting any individual companies or products. The training is delivered by current and previous advisers, such as Peter Chadborn, Roy McLoughlin and myself."

More details on school crossing guard accused of having sex behind vacant South Dallas house
Scott Goldstein blogged yesterday about the school crossing guard accused of having sex behind a vacant South Dallas house. I came across a couple more details this morning that I thought I would share.
Police say 47-year-old Johnny Williams was dressed in his school crossing guard uniform when officers came upon him standing outside the rear passenger door of a green Oldsmobile parked behind the home on Jamaica Street.
The woman police say was sitting in the car facing his crotch area, 38-year-old Cary Brown, is a long-time prostitute with several prostitution convictions, the most recent of which was from an incident this summer not far away along Jamaica Street.
"I'm sorry," Williams said when he saw officers, according to a police report.

Extreme and adventure activities as experiential marketing tools. Edition No. 1
- January 2011
- 136 Pages
- VDM Publishing House
This book aims at evaluating the experiential marketing potential of extreme sport activities, in special regards to the new sponsoring platform: the Base Flyer in Berlin. The book places particular emphasis on the importance and latest development of experience marketing, a tool to let brands and consumers enjoy interacting together. The findings revealed that if a brand finds a way to associate and authentically connect its values with the extraordinary and explicit character of extreme and thrill sport activities, the marketing campaign will have a sustainable impact on consumers' brand perception. In order to give insights into the advantages of applying an extreme and thrill sport activity as an experience marketing tool, the author established a hypothetic sponsoring concept. It explains how to use the Base Flyer station, an extreme activity plat-form, as a communicator for a brand's personality and value orientation.

Bayesian Methods for Medical Test Accuracy

AbstractBayesian methods for medical test accuracy are presented, beginning with the basic measures for tests with binary scores: true positive fraction, false positive fraction, positive predictive values, and negative predictive value. The Bayesian approach is taken because of its efficient use of prior information, and the analysis is executed with a Bayesian software package WinBUGS®. The ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve gives the intrinsic accuracy of medical tests that have ordinal or continuous scores, and the Bayesian approach is illustrated with many examples from cancer and other diseases. Medical tests include X-ray, mammography, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine and tests based on biomarkers, such as blood glucose values for diabetes. The presentation continues with more specialized methods suitable for measuring the accuracies of clinical studies that have verification bias, and medical tests without a gold standard. Lastly, the review is concluded with Bayesian methods for measuring the accuracy of the combination of two or more tests.

Come test your racing legs in this fun filled racing series. Rocky Mountain Masters racing offers more than high-quality ski competition. It offers an opportunity to meet, ski and compete with a group of extraordinary individuals from all walks of life.
Tentative Timeline
January 12, 2013- Giant Slalom
January 13, 2013- Giant Slalom
What is Masters Racing?
Masters racing is designed for every level of ski racer, from ages 18 to over 80. Unlike NASTAR and other regional race programs, masters' racing is governed by the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA), the organization that runs the US Ski Team and junior race programs. Masters series are conducted within each of the eight geographic divisions of USSA including Alaska, Central, Eastern, Far West, Intermountain, Northern, Pacific Northwest and—here in Colorado--Rocky Mountain.
In addition to divisional competition, there are opportunities to compete on a regional, national, and international level. The USSA Alpine Masters Program is just one of the participants in the International Ski Federation's (FIS) International Masters Cup (IMC) in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The highlight of the race season in the USA concludes with the USSA Masters National Championships. Internationally, world Masters compete each winter for the FIS Masters World Criterium.
How do I know if Rocky Mountain Masters is right for me?
Our members range from first time racers to former World Cup'ers, college racers, and former TEAMSKI racers. We compete on the same runs used for World Cup events. Slalom, giant slalom, super G and downhill are all included in this season's schedule. Rocky Mountain Masters racing offers more than high-quality ski competition. It offers an opportunity to meet, ski and compete with a group of extraordinary individuals from all walks of life. There are many of the pioneers of the ski industry competing within masters including ski area developers, 10th Mountain Division alumni, ski equipment and clothing entrepreneurs, former national team members, and honored members of the U.S. Ski Hall of Fame. Masters racing is highly social, and the masters are a friendly group. Of the reasons current masters list for participation, camaraderie is always among the first. Second, of course, to a love of competition. At many events, masters racing is a family affair, where two or three generations compete.
Give us a try!
This season we are welcoming collegiate racers (age 24 and under) with a special low $8.00 entry fee. We also hope to see many of the TEAMSKI racers. RMM has dozens of former TEAMSKI racers in our ranks and we hope you will race with us this season. We even have RMM coaches who will inspect the course with you and provide valuable insights that will take valuable seconds off your time. You are welcome to contact our office or any board member with any questions.

Did You See This? Berggren, Brust deliver highlights
Mary Langenfeld-USA TODAY Sports
Jared Berggren is compiling quite the highlight reel in his senior season. There was this second jam in a back-to-back sequence, this posterization of Victor Oladipo, and this drive and finish at Iowa, among several others. To little surprise, Berggren struck again in Saturday's overtime win over No. 3 Michigan. Watch the And-1 dunk now and see Ben Brust's ridiculous OT-forcing 3-pointer at the buzzer in this post.

As good as Burke County has been on the football field, the other school in Waynesboro, Edmund Burke, is off to a perfect start as well and among the best in the independent ranks.
This year's Spartans are getting the job done in pretty much all aspects having outscored their opponents 107-24. From the ground game with the likes of Brandon Sharpe, Tyler Rowland and Michael Taylor to a stingy defense. There's also a lot more leaders on the field, something the Spartans were lacking a season ago.
"It's my second year here and they're doing a pretty good job of taking care of things inside the lines," said head coach Buddy Sorrow. "During the week, I can chew butt and do what I want to here but on that game on Friday night, I've got to be on the sideline."
It will be a tall task for them this week as they take on Robert Toombs, another undefeated team that's also ranked in the top 10. That game is in Waynesboro on Friday.

Righthanded starter Collin McHugh was placed on the disabled list Saturday, retroactive to Monday, with an avulsion on his right middle finger nail. Barring an unforeseen setback, he expects to return in time to start July 22 against the Oakland A's.
Lefthander Brett Oberholtzer was recalled from Class AAA Oklahoma City to start in McHugh's place.
"I take a lot of pride in getting the ball every fifth day and going out there," said McHugh, who would have been scheduled to start Saturday against the Red Sox. "I was talking to my wife (Friday) night and she was reminding me that this is the first time I've missed a start in six years.
"It's not something that you want to do obviously, but I understand where the organization and the coaching staff is coming from. Obie's been real impressive the last few times out. Any time we get a chance to let him pitch it's phenomenal. It will be fine by the next start, I'm pretty sure. We'll move from there."

Early Detection
Breast Cancer Statistics
Warning Signs
What is stopping women from getting their annual mammogram?
With early detection and treatment women are beating breast cancer. Yet many don't receive an annual screening. The main barriers that women often express include lack of time, money and a false sense of risk.
Lack of Time
According to the research, the number one reason women do not have a mammogram is lack of time. Women feel they are too busy or do not have the necessary resources to fit a mammogram into their busy schedule. Most exams last only 20 minutes. Franciscan St. Francis Health offers imaging centers throughout central Indiana to provide better access. And, during Mammothon, we are offering extended screening hours to make it easier for women to schedule convenient appointments.
Financial Concerns
Another common barrier reported is a lack of insurance or limited funds. Most insurance companies cover all or part of the cost of an annual screening exam. Understanding that many people do not have insurance, we work with the Little Red Door Cancer Agency to provide financial assistance to those who qualify. For more information, call (317) 925-5595 or visit
Understanding Risk
Research has indicated that many women do not schedule an annual screening because they believe they are not at risk. The fact is that 70-80% of all breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer. And one in eight women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Mammography can find an abnormal growth up to two years before it can be felt by touch. If found early there are more treatment options and a better chance for survival. Which is why an annual screening should be a priority for women beginning at age 40, and sooner if directed by a physician.

Kansas City's Finest
Wednesday, November 28, 2012 (All day)
Sunday, June 30, 2013 (All day) @ Central Library
Established in 1874, the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department has for 138 years protected our citizens while keeping abreast of changes in criminology, transportation, technology, and society. This long and colorful history is examined in a new exhibit, Kansas City's Finest.
The display – featuring materials from the Kansas City Police Historical Society now preserved as part of the Library's Missouri Valley Special Collections – covers many aspects of the department's history: outreach, diversity, technology, and the continuing emphasis on law enforcement.

Some opposition has recently surfaced as Marietta City Council members continue to consider updating regulations governing private property issues like junk cars, trash, overgrown vegetation, blight and unsafe housing.
Councilman Roger Kalter, D-1st Ward, is dedicating several of his planning, zoning, annexation and housing committee meetings to discussions about updating the city's participation in the International Property Maintenance Code.
Kalter has described the IPMC as a uniform guide to minimum standards for housing, vacant buildings, abandoned vehicles and other quality of life issues within the city.
"But this is a process in which I want to have a community dialogue," he said Tuesday. "We want people to spend some time talking about this, and anybody interested can participate."
Following the IPMC is playing into a larger agenda aimed at limiting citizens' property rights, according to a presentation during Monday's meeting of the Marietta OH 9-12 Project.
Alabama resident Don Casey spoke about United Nations Agenda 21 to the crowd of approximately 180 who met at Valley Harvest Church Monday night.
Fact Box
At a glance
About the International Property Maintenance Code:
The nation's model housing or property maintenance code is the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). The IPMC is managed by the International Code Council (ICC).
Two states-New York and Virginia-and more than 600 local jurisdictions (including Marietta) have adopted the IPMC with modifications.
The International Code Council published the first edition of the IPMC in 1998. ICC's three charter members-Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA), International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) and Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI)-developed the IPMC as a comprehensive set of regulations for existing buildings that was consistent with the existing model property maintenance codes at the time. A new edition is promulgated every three years.
Source: healthyhomestraining.org
Agenda 21, which addresses a wide range of sustainable development and environmental issues for state and local governments, came out of the U.N. Conference on Environment and Development, held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
Concerned that the U.N. initiative opens the door for governments to infringe on personal property rights, Casey is credited with leading the effort to pass anti-Agenda 21 legislation in Alabama-the first law of its kind in the country.
"This is a massive property rights issue that's an actual publicly-published U.N. agenda-it's not a conspiracy issue," said Glen Newman, founder of the Marietta OH 9-12 Project, of Agenda 21. "It's more government intrusion into our God-given rights under the guise of sustainable development or land and resource management."
He said Marietta is participating in that agenda by utilizing the International Property Management Code.
"The IPMC is just another part of the larger agenda-a complete overreach of the local, state and federal governments," Newman said. "And (the 9-12 Project group) will continue, as a major project, to educate citizens about what can be done to slow this down."
Marietta resident Keith Malone said he attended the Monday night meeting as a citizen and as a local developer.
"But I was there more as a citizen," he said. "I believe Agenda 21 is very insidious in its nature. A lot on the surface of the agenda looks good, but the problem is that it becomes more invasive into people's lives as it gets down to the local level."
Malone noted the U.N. agenda will have a global impact also.
"But it really infringes on the rights of citizens," he said. "And the troubling part is where does this end? It ultimately ends with the government telling people what they can do with their own land, and could go as far as telling them where they can live. That's the insidious part. Basically it allows the government to take away property rights."
Monday's presentation was aimed at educating people about Agenda 21, Malone said.
"A lot of people don't have a clue about this agenda," he said. "But the presentation was well-documented. He even used land use development plans from Ohio."
Malone said once people become educated about the issue they'll want to get involved.
Kalter has scheduled eight city planning, zoning, annexation and housing committee meetings on Tuesday afternoons in January and February to provide anyone interested with an opportunity to have input as council members consider upgrading the IPMC.
He's ordered 22 copies of the 2012 property management code for fellow council members and city department heads, but noted those documents have not arrived yet.
So far there has been little reaction during committee meetings to the proposal to upgrade the IPMC to 2012 standards.
"If people want to speak out they need to come to these meetings. They're welcome to say their piece about this, too," Kalter said. "And my only agenda is to make this city the best it can be with the best quality of life for our residents."
Washington County Commissioner David White also attended Monday night's presentation.
"The auditorium was full, and some commissioners from other counties attended, too," White said.
He said the presentation was an indication of how well-intentioned government issues can impact local communities.
"People in government are often well-meaning, but we have to be very careful not to force issues on citizens," White said. "Some ruling may seem innocuous, but it can trample on people's property rights."
Washington County does not base its property management regulations on the IPMC, according to county prosecutor Jim Schneider. He said the county relies on the Ohio Revised Code when it comes to property management issues.
Currently there are only two states that operate under the IPMC-New York and Virginia. But more than 600 local governments, including Marietta since 1999, have based their regulations on the IPMC.

For those who have not read it, I HIGHLY recommend it. It tells the true story of GB's family's lives before, during, and after the Vietnam War. Using the medium of the graphic novel gives the story a potent and emotional edge, which makes the reader feel like you are in the story, watching GB's family survive and struggle to stay together.
GB showed the class and public lecture his original journal and sketch book that he took with him on his 1st trip to Vietnam, which planted the seed for the novel. I really appreciated this because so rarely do readers get to see the process behind a book, never mind the original artwork and plot layout. GB then walked us through how VIETNAMERICA came to fruition, as a series of important crossroads and life events came together which amalgamated into the need to tell his families story.
If you love graphic novels, or stories of immigration, conflict, history, or self-discovery, pick up a copy of VIETNAMERICA. To learn more about GB, please stop by his website, http://gbtran.com

Have you ever felt that the only time a bank wants to lend you money is when you don't need it? Many people believe this and it is often all too true for small businesses.
Another hurdle small businesses face comes if the business needs a smaller loan of less than $50,000. Many banks won't take the time to talk with a small borrower.
Where to turn? There are nonprofit organizations around the country called micro-lenders who will offer business loans of $50,000 or less. Many of these micro-lenders target certain groups for their loans, like minorities, low income people or women. But this could be just the recipe for your business if you've been turned down by a bank.
But remember, a micro-lender uses the same criteria as a bank when granting loans...you have to show them that your business can earn enough to pay them back. So be sure you have a solid business plan before you call.

text: I'm working on a "Very Cool Sock" for myself and have about 5" done. (Maybe 70 rows or so.) I'm loving it. Looks great, pretty easy. But when I picked it up to knit last night, I noticed a mistake. On one of the rows where you're supposed to slip 2 w/ yarn on the inside, I did it with the yarn on the outside twice in a row. If it was a few rows back, no question, I'd frog without thinking about it. But it's 25 rows back! (2 -3 hours, if I don't mess up more frogging.) So, what would you do?

North Carolina Senate To Decide Fate of Racial Bias Law
A meeting of North Carolina lawmakers in Raleigh this week could decide the fate of the state's Racial Justice Act, which lets death row inmates argue that racial bias played a role in their case, the Raleigh News & Observer reports.
The N.C. House voted to nullify the law back in June, and now the state Senate could see a vote this week, following a Senate judiciary committee meeting this afternoon. The law, which you can read here, was enacted in 2009 and requires that judges let inmates off of death row if there is a finding that race was a "significant factor" in the death sentence, as the WSJ noted in a report last year.
Death row inmates have held up findings from Michigan State University law school — which held a symposium on the subject — that show defendants who killed a white person in North Carolina were 2 1/2 times more likely to receive a death sentence that when victims were black. The study also showed that juries were disproportionately white.
Republicans have talked about repealing the law since they rose to power last year in the state legislature, the News & Observer notes. Critics say that the law is a way to do away with the state's death penalty. North Carolina hasn't carried out an execution since 2006, as LB noted recently.
This summer, the House altered the language of the original bill to require that courts find prosecutors acted "with discriminatory purpose" in seeking the death penalty or selecting the jury, as well as requiring that jurors acted "with discriminatory purpose" in deciding a case, as the News & Observer reports. Bill Massengale, a defense lawyer in Chapel Hill told the paper: "Intent is one of the most difficult things to prove in court. It would be very difficult to prove a prosecutor's intent or a jury's intent."
Earlier this month, a letter that was signed by 43 of the state's 44 elected district attorneys called on Senate Republicans to repeal the law, according to AP.
Defense attorneys who supported the law maintain that the statistics present a different perspective: In North Carolina, African-American jury pool members who weren't rejected for cause were rejected by prosecutors at about twice the rate as white potential jurors, with the disparity even greater in Cumberland and Wake counties, News & Observer reports.
Law Blog has followed the Racial Justice Act several times over the past year. You can catch up here, here, here, and here.

How to keep your hands and neck from adding years to your looks.
Easy Fixes for Your Age-Giveaway Zones
What Your Derm Can Do
Doctors' turn-back-the-clock nonsurgical treatments work fast and require little downtime. The catch: They can be pricey.
Best for: resurfacing hand and neck skin, building and tightening collagen
How they work: Lasers like the Fraxel and Nd:YAG direct thousands of tiny bursts of energy that heat the collagen layer, stimulating new growth and improving texture. Skin will be pink for a few days afterward, and perhaps even rough or peeling.
Sessions required/cost: three to six sessions; $1,000-$2,000 each
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Best for: removing sunspots on hands
How it works: IPL machines work similarly to lasers, but can be better for brown spots, and have a shorter recovery time, Dr. Tanzi says. Brown spots may darken — like pepper on skin — before flaking off for good.
Sessions required/cost: three to five sessions; $250-$500 each
Best for: hyperpigmentation and superficial wrinkling on hands
How they work: Superficial glycolic acid peels and Jessner peels (blending lactic and salicylic acids and other ingredients) and medium-depth trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels remove surface discoloration and smooth out skin by increasing cell turnover. The deeper TCA produces faster results and can also stimulate collagen production. Note: Many doctors say neck skin is too prone to scarring to risk deep peeling.
Sessions required/cost: five 15-minute treatments; $150 each
Fat Injections
Best for: plumping hands to disguise prominent bones, joints, and veins
How they work: A small amount of fat is taken from the buttocks via a needle and then injected beneath the skin. Fat transfer can be more economical than synthetic fillers like Sculptra and Radiesse because the fat is harvested just once, then frozen for later use, says Dr. Draelos. This is a relatively new procedure on hands, so make sure your doctor has experience: Ask to see her before-and-after photos.
Sessions required/cost: one session; around $1,500 for fat transfer, $500 for injections using harvested fat; $1,000-$1,500 for Sculptra or Radiesse injections
Botox (Botulinum Toxin)
Best for: strained-looking neck muscles
How it works: Doctors inject Botox down the muscle bands in the neck to relax them. In many cases, this gets rid of the strained look that sometimes comes with lost volume and tone in the neck. "It doesn't take much Botox — about the same amount as for one band in the forehead — and there's no downtime," says Dr. Draelos.
Sessions required/cost: one session; $200-$400

Q&A w/ TinyTap: Unlocking app development for teachers & students of all ages
May 27, 2014
Why did you start TinyTap?
Two years ago, a person with special needs who is close to me started using tablets very successfully. Immediately, we looked for apps he could use that would suit his specific needs, but nothing was quite right. Eventually, we came up with a way to turn any image into a personalized interactive activity in seconds. We used it to make apps based on his specific interests and needs, which he loved very much.
That simple tool became TinyTap, a platform that allows kids, families and teachers to unlock the power of touch devices by creating learning apps from photos and designs. It's as simple as drawing on a piece of paper.
How are your products helping students learn in new ways?
Both educators and successful companies recognize the need for creativity and dynamic skills over discrete knowledge. TinyTap empowers students and teachers to become Tiny app makers by making their own apps about the things they love and know.
In order to make an app that teaches about a subject, you need to research and explain it – you have to become somewhat of an expert. Not only is this a proven way to really learn a new topic, it allows for a more active learning process where students are engaged rather than passively listening to a lecture. From the teacher's point of view, TinyTap allows them to leverage the power of touch devices, narration and interactivity, creating entire digital lessons and assessments in real time. Educators can make personalized apps to help just one student or the entire world.
"Teachers are the new rock stars" is a common phrase nowadays – it implies that teachers, like rockstars, can reach beyond a classroom to connect with an audience of millions who share a common interest. TinyTap allows for exactly that – a teacher can create a profile and share the apps she makes with a growing community of educators and learners from across the world. The best teachers can also monetize their content as apps on TinyTap and the App Store.
What do you hope to get out of the co.lab experience?
We have several objectives in working with co.lab, including:
- Meeting teachers, schools and educational organizations. I've had a chance to meet with the San Francisco Children's Creativity Museum and learn about their inspiring TinyTap profile, where kids are documenting and explaining the projects they're working on at the museum. We want to meet more organizations that can benefit from offering these types of creative activities. There are also hundreds of U.S. schools registered on TinyTap. We want to meet the people behind these accounts and get their feedback on the product.
- Conducting pilots and field tests. We constantly see teachers posting their TinyTap apps and talking about class activities they're doing with TinyTap, but we rarely get an opportunity to see classroom use firsthand. We're hoping to see more of how TinyTap is used by teachers and students.
- Learning more about the U.S. education system. Being a Tel Aviv-based company, we have a lot to learn about the U.S. education system: What are the real needs, and how can TinyTap make an impact? How do U.S. educators perceive the current state of education and how do they see the future?
- Making new friends. Another goal is learning from other co.lab companies about their insights in the education world and meeting new friends from Zynga, NewSchools and other organizations working to inspire creativity and change how we learn and teach.
What's your long-term vision for the company?
In the immediate future we are planning to launch a new version of TinyTap redesigned for all ages, as we've learned what a powerful tool TinyTap can be for teachers and learners of any age. We're always adding new types of activities you can create – this week we're launching an interactive video tool to help you turn any YouTube video into an interactive lesson!
In the long term, we see TinyTap becoming the biggest marketplace for learning apps: like an app Wikipedia for young learners, a place where they can learn about anything in any language in a fun interactive way – created by other students, families and teachers.
We believe that just like indie developers are making blockbuster apps that wow established commercial gaming companies, so can teachers make incredible learning apps that will leave the big publishers speechless. Who knows better how to teach than real teachers, who teach real students every day?
If you're an experienced teacher who is interested in collaborating, we'd love to hear from you. You can reach us at email@example.com.
