Lee Stevenson scored the only goal of the game on the stroke of half-time, when he cashed in on some charitable Exeter defending to fire a low shot across goal and into the far corner.
But it was Mansfield's defensive display that proved the backbone for the win as they worked stoutly in a second half in which they repelled an Exeter onslaught.
"I can't remember ever having to defend like that," Murray said.
"It was backs to the wall. You have seen some tired legs out there and it was just sheer determination, team spirit and a hell of a lot of desire to see it through.
"The ball just coming back and in the end we just went for bodies behind the ball to try and see it through.
"We still need to be a lot better with the football, we know that, we are working on it, but you can't argue with three points away from home.
"I'm not going to lie and say it was a great performance because it wasn't the best second half.
"They were getting on top of us, but we did what we had to do.
"It is a massive three points, words cannot express how big they are.
"It was a huge game for us and the next building block to move on. It was a long journey down here and we are delighted."
Exeter manager Paul Tisdale felt his young side were unlucky in defeat, but are close to becoming a good team.
"It was a really good game of football and a game that deserved more than the one goal it got, he said.
"As a performance, I think we were on the betters side and I don't think we played poorly and as the players feel, I feel really frustrated that we didn't even get a draw.
"But I suppose that happens when a team hangs on and we have seen it once or twice. It was the same for us at Cheltenham really.
"We are an inch away from being a good team, but it is going to be a case of a step forward, a step back, two forward and one back.
"That is how it is going to go, but I was really pleased with a lot of the players.
"Although I have made it absolutely clear to them that you can't call yourself a good side.
"You are a losing side if you concede a goal and can't score.
"That is the vital part of the game, so how do I feel? I feel frustrated, I feel we were unlucky, but we didn't put the ball in the net or keep it out at our end. There's not much else for me to say really."

Reflecting its strong commitment to young people, the PSA Peugeot Citroën group is currently supporting some 2,400 students and international volunteers in their studies or vocational training through the programmes below.

Through the work-study approach, you gain recognised professional experience that will serve you well in your future job-seeking endeavours in any sphere of activity: sales and marketing, R&D, management, finance, information systems, etc.

Problem is that remote peer is using DIGEST::SHA256.
EVP_get_digestbynid() is failing, apparently lacking support for SHA256.
I examined the latest OpenSSL distro and can't find any reference to
SHA256 in object.h; does anyone know if this is supported?

Ealing Restaurant Closed After Dead Rat Found
Friday 15th August 2014
Unannounced inspections by food safety officers have lead to four Ealing businesses being forced to close.
Rat carcasses, droppings, flies and contaminated food were just some of the problems food safety officers found when they carried out surprise inspections of food businesses in Ealing.
Coco Noodle Bar, on Ealing Broadway, was forced to close for a week after dirt, droppings and a rat carcass were found. This is the third time in 8 years that Noodle Bar has been closed for food safety reasons. The restaurant�s owner, Michael Ly, has reportedly already paid �30,000 in fines for the first two instances.
Other businesses caught by the inspections were:
- Balaji Foods, a sweet manufacturer, closed temporarily due to a �poor standard of cleaning and pest control�.
- Bilal Halal Meat, on Winford Parade, closed temporarily due to mouse infestations, flies and contaminated food.
- Kabul Restaurant, on The Broadway in Southall, closed for 2 weeks due to a mouse infestation, and dirt and grease throughout.
Councillor Julian Bell, leader of Ealing Council, said: �These are some revolting examples of what can happen when businesses do not maintain proper standards of cleanliness which is ultimately their own responsibility. We take food safety very seriously and actively uncover and immediately shut down restaurants and food traders right across the borough who put the public in danger.�
The businesses have now re-opened after addressing the problems to the satisfaction of Ealing Council.

Mad Cowgirl
- Release Date: Jul 19, 2006
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Theaters showing Mad Cowgirl should install seatbelts, because audiences are in for the ultimate wild ride.
There's a lot happening here, perhaps too much. At times, the movie threatens to implode under its own weight. At others, it's wickedly funny.
A demented jag of blasphemy, multicultural weirdness, splatter-movie tropes and inchoate meat metaphors, Mad Cowgirl is an underground movie with little sense of grounding; the point is an aggressive pointlessness.
The point is not very clear, but there's an impressive weirdness to Mad Cowgirl that elevated it above more strained attempts at transgressive cinema.
It's safe to say there will not be another movie this year like Mad Cowgirl. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on your tolerance for copious bloodletting, hardcore pornography, and C-SPAN.

The winner of Hernandez-Cunningham II must face mandatory challenger Troy Ross by May 11, said Tucker. Cunningham rose from a fourth round knockdown to defeat Ross by fifth-round knockout in June of last year.
"I want to rip that belt off of Hernandez's waist," said Cunningham. "Him and Ulli Wegner, the trainer, I just want to make those guys feel what I felt. A little bit of what I felt."
Trained by Naazim Richardson, the same man who works with former undisputed middleweight champ and RING and WBC light heavyweight titleholder Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KOs), Cunningham was considered to be the world's No. 1 cruiserweight.
The loss to Hernandez ended Cunningham's winning streak at three, having last tasted defeat previously in December of 2008, when he lost the IBF cruiserweight title to Tomasz Adamek via split-decision.
Before falling to Adamek, Cunningham had won two straight: a majority decision over Krzysztof Wlodarczyk of Poland in May of 2007, and a 12th-round knockout of Marco Huck, who are the current WBC and WBO titleholders, respectively.
By defeating Wlodarczyk, Cunningham dethroned him as IBF beltholder and avenged a split-decision loss from November of 2006. Cunningham also already owns a split-decision victory over current WBA titlist Guillermo Jones from April of 2005.
Hernandez has now won 11 consecutive fights, last losing when he was knocked out in the third round by Wayne Braithwaite in March of 2008.
Hernandez won a battle of southpaws in February when he dropped Steve Herelius twice in the seventh and final round to end the fighter's seven-bout winning streak.
"I just want to equal and level playing field. That's all that we ask for. We signed with the European promoter knowing that this is better exposure for me, and that the money was better than we were seeing in the states. And the fights were there. So we did it. We made the move," said Cunningham.
"Not once did we say that we would get robbed, but knowing that it could happen. You know, stuff happens. But my skill level is so good, and so is my team and my trainer, Naazim Richardson, and my sparring partners. So them dudes can't beat me even if they cheat."

a1 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Wakehurst Place, Ardingly, West Sussex, RH17 6TN, UK
Seeds of Oryza sativa L. (desiccation tolerant, orthodox) completed each of five distinct stages of development approximately 7 days earlier than seeds of Porteresia coarctata (Roxb.) Tateoka (desiccation intolerant, recalcitrant), despite the fact that O. sativa plants matured under cooler conditions. Isolated embryos of O. sativa were more sensitive to rapid desiccation at 6 days post anthesis (DPA) compared with naked caryopses. More than 90% of the latter were desiccation tolerant at 8 DPA and at all stages tested the germination capacity and/or rate of germination was greater following drying. In contrast, drying resulted in a complete loss of viability in seeds of P. coarctata at all stages tested. In both species, abscisic acid (ABA) began to accumulate in embryos mid-way through development. At the respective peaks, the concentration of ABA in P. coarctata was twice that recorded in O. sativa confirming that ABA levels per se do not determine desiccation tolerance in seeds. The possibility that desiccation tolerance is linked to sensitivity to ABA is discussed.

Adding my thoughts | Start-ups must position with user experience at the heart of every element. Disruption is constant…flexibility in design and mindset will offer the direction you will need. Be competitive with a keen understanding of the role data will play today and tomorrow.
Note: Last week we hosted a session on User Acquisition with our Discovery Fund companies and a few other portfolio companies and friends. It was led by Adam Nash, EIR and former VP Product at LinkedIn, and was based on an awesome series of posts on his blog. I've tried to capture it below, but the content is really from Adam and some of the great founders in attendance. We regularly do session like this – sometimes with our portfolio companies and sometimes open to others. If this is helpful, let us know if you'd like to attend a future session and we'll send you an invite if we have room. No matter what, we'll try to continue to post session notes.

Hahaha . . . sweeeeet.
Damn Japan is crazy.
Someone get Gary Goodridge on the line and get that man a much needed paycheck.
Oh yeah, it's arm wrestling.

That's ****ing awesome.
I have always been a big fan of arm wrestling despite never having followed the sport on TV, and I've always said that other than Goodridge, Sapp would beat just about everyone, and he's not even nearly as jacked as he was back in Pride.
It's the one sport where he DOESN'T have to throw in the towel every match hahaha.
I LOVE the reaction at 7:32 of the little Japanese girls to Sapp's victory haha.
Of course Goodridge would beat everyone based on technique, but I'd love to see more of this, I'd like to see Lesnar, Carwin, Hon Man Choi, Giant Silva, Semmy Schilt, Jon Jones, etc.
And was that guy who beat Sapp at the end a Japanese arm wrestling champ?
I'm guessing so.
Funny stuff. I used to arm wrestle like crazy. I still get employees that challenge me. I'll accept one or two a year as a goof, but my shoulders are too jacked up to waste hurting them on arm wrestling. It involves way more technique than most people realize.
Carwin or brock would be fun to watch too.

I realize that ALL tests of strength involve some, weight lifting, all the events done in the World's Strongest Man, etc.
But, I do wonder, for example, if a PRIME ROIDED Bob Sapp did not have more power in the same exact muscles in the arm that are used for arm wrestling, than Goodridge in his prime.
They are about the same height with about the same amount of fat, so those 100lbs of muscle mass for Sapp had to account for SOME muscles in his body being stronger than Goodridge's, if not his arms.
I know that muscle mass isn't everything, that you could be stronger than someone with more muscle mass however...
But, is it possible that the specific muscle groups in the arm used in arm wrestling might be stronger in a certain individual who might lose to another in an arm wrestling match because the latter has better technique??
Since it seems that the answer to that is yes.......is there any kind of contest of strength that is more pure a contest of Strength ALONE with less technique involved???
This is why I like watching guys who DON'T know much about arm wrestling arm wrestle...because it seems to come down just to brute strength, and I like to see that question answered rather than who has better technique.
What I am asking, essentially, is this:
If Goodridge had NO knowledge of arm wrestling technique, and knew no more about it than Bob Sapp...would he still beat Bob Sapp in an arm wrestling match??
And if not, does that not mean that Sapp is essentially stronger in those muscle groups and Goodridge would just beat him by using technique???
If so...makes it sound a little more like BJJ than a contest of pure strength.......
I think technique definitely beats strength...sometimes. VERY similar to BJJ. I've been submitted by far smaller guys and I have submitted far larger guys. I think there is a balance in each person that can effectively beat another guy that appears to be the favorite. I think like most things in life, individual styles make for interesting outcomes.
I know there are different approaches to arm wrestling which take in to account body type, height, strength, speed etc. Some guys top roll, hook, press and there are quite a few other ways to do it. I had a guy talking crap to me about 8 years ago at work. He was 5" taller and about 120lbs heavier than me. I looked up some stuff online and tried a few things with friends. I figured out that I was very good a hooking and it allowed me to beat guys very easily that used to give me trouble. I ended up crushing this guy in about 5 seconds. Score one for the short guys!!
I agree though. i think it's even more fun to watch guys that know nothing arm wrestle. it's very similar to BJJ tournaments. It's alway more fun to watch blue belts flipping around than it is to watch black belts move three inches in 40 seconds. I acknowledge and appreciate skill, but sometimes you just want to have fun

nice to see Sapp win something.
and not go into a turtule defense.
last dude was fast.
"If Goodridge had no knowledge of arm wrestling techinique, would he lose to Sapp, and if so, would that not mean that Sapp was actually stronger in those muscle groups??"
And also the question of
"is there any kind of contest which determines more "brute strength" with less emphasis on technique?"
Since I do BJJ, I am usually more interested in technique, but I also like the old fashioned question of simply who the stronger man is answered...regardless of technique.
Again, I realize that "technique" plays a part in most contests of strength, but I am just wondering whether or not an arm wrestling contest really does determine who is the stronger man when it comes to whatever muscle groups are used in the contest (only someone who knows about physiology could answer that) or whether or not technique is more important.
I'd guess it's a combination of both, but it still leaves me wondering.

Copy Cell Contents in Microsoft Excel
Hi all
Today, I am going to post a small tip (which would be known to many) in Microsoft Excel.
Many of us try to copy the cell contents from one into another by clicking the edge of the cell and dragging the cursor into the required cells to copy the contents/formula/format into the other cells. This is depicted below.
However, some times when you focus on the edge of the cell, the cursor does not change to the + icon as you see above. It will not allow you to drag and drop the contents/formula/format into the adjacent cells.
For many of you who wonder why you are unable to use the drag functionality in excel, there is an option to enable/disable this feature in excel. In Microsoft Excel 2010, you can go to options from the File Menu as shown below.
In the Options window, go to the Advanced tab and you will see a an option for "Enable fill handle and cell drag-and-drop". Make sure this option is checked for the drag and drop feature to work. If this is unchecked the drag and drop feature will not work.
Hope this helps the community…
Until next post!

Home > HOUSINGfirst
...providing permanent solutions to long-term homelessness
is an initiative that was established in April, 2002 to provide permanent housing solutions for persons with disabilities who experience long-term homelessness.
On any given night, about 20% of homeless individuals in Cleveland's emergency shelters are long term homeless individuals. Almost all of the long-term homeless have behavioral or physical health disabilities. In Cleveland, over 20% of the long-term homeless are veterans, a higher percentage than the national average.
The Permanent Supportive Housing model provides "housing first"….moving people into stable housing and then linking them with services on site. A key distinction is that services and treatment programs are available and encouraged, but not mandatory.
has set a goal of developing 1,000 units of permanent supportive housing for single adults with histories of long term homelessness and disabilities. As of January 2012, over 600 apartments have been built and an additional 105 are either in the pipeline. Over 600 "HOUSINGfirst
" apartments will be occupied by the end of 2013, and 505 apartments are currently occupied.
National Alliance to End Homelessness
and the
Corporation for Supportive Housing
are national leaders in documenting the need for and the effectiveness of permanent supportive housing as a key component in our nation's efforts to end homelessness. National studies indicate that HOUSINGfirst initiatives are not only a more humane way to respond to the needs of long-term disabled people, but are also more cost effective than serving people through mainstream systems.
Enterprise Community Partners
, the
Sisters of Charity Foundation
, the City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County have taken leadership roles in introducing and guiding the development of the HOUSINGfirst
Several non profit agencies have joined together to build and operate the projects. Key providers include:
Five years of operating data from local HFI projects,
confirm what national studies have found. Over 78% of the residents remain in their apartments and almost all are engaged in services. Half the residents are volunteers, participating in educational activities or employed. The rate of emergency room visits and hospitalizations have been substantially reduced. Statistics show approximately 20% of the residents move on to more independent housing situations and/or reunite with family. A small percentage return back to shelter.

City West helps to lay the foundations for young people's future
Published by Bobbie H for City West Housing Trust in Housing and also in Care and Support, Education
The Salford Foundation Team in the refurbished garden at City West's Community Resource Centre in Swinton
Teenagers are getting the chance to learn new skills and boost job prospects thanks to Salford Foundation and City West Housing Trust.
Salford Foundation delivers the government's National Citizen Service programme to 16 and 17 year-olds in Salford with the support of the social landlord who have provided a number of opportunities to work on community projects across Salford.
A total of 16 young people from Swinton took part in a week-long team-building trip to The Conway Centre, Wales, before heading to Manchester Metropolitan University for a taste of independent living in student accommodation.
Tom, from Walkden in Salford, is now a graduate mentor with Salford Foundation after participating in a previous course. He said: "I found NCS a life changing experience and one I'll never forget. I made lifelong friends and a new found confidence."
"I've now got the skills that employers want to see – like how to be a team player."
"It's been incredible to get involved in a project with City West that has a direct impact on the community, it's a great way to give something back for all the fun we've had, and put all the skills we learnt to use."
After returning from their trip, the group worked to identify an area where they could make a difference for the people of Salford – and chose to work with the housing association to renovate the garden at the landlord's Community Resource Centre in Swinton.
The teenagers have spent the past two weeks working hard to transform the garden into a vibrant area for residents.
Viv Simon, Head of Enterprise at City West, said: "The group has done a fantastic job in renovating the garden – the skills they've learnt and the effort they have put in really shows.
"With a tough job climate, it's important that we provide young people with every opportunity to give them the skills to stand out from the crowd – something we're dedicated to doing for all our customers."
Since 2008, the landlord has created over 250 jobs through its training and skills programmes and by ensuring a job is created for a local person for every £1 million it spends on improving its homes.
Viv adds: "Without easy access to training and qualifications, many people struggle to make a career for themselves.
"By working in partnership with external agencies on schemes like the National Citizen Service, we are ensuring our customers can find a career and unlock a brighter future."
To date, City West – which owns 14,600 homes across Salford – has supported 48 young people in completing the NCS programme, and will continue to support Salford Foundation with its delivery of the NCS programme in the 2014/2015.
If you are interesting in learning more about the scheme, or wish to sign up, please get in contact with the NCS team at Salford Foundation by calling 01617873838 or email email@example.com.

Cotto bitter, Shane looking sweet
Pacquiao: Cotto bitter, Shane looking sweet
July 17, 11:46 AM
Following Miguel Cotto's June 13 questionable decision over Joshua Clottey, many thought the showdown between he and Filipino sensation, Manny Pacquiao was a done deal. Better than a month up the road, and a fight that seemed to be in the works is actually far from working.
Team Pacquiao has shifted a bit from the initial dialogue held - once citing that the weight wouldn't matter, and now citing that they won't budge above 143lbs; while Team Cotto has been completely firm in stating that Miguel will not take the fight below 145lbs.
What Miguel Cotto has apparently forgotten is that his name comes up a bit short on the pecking order and similarly to De la Hoya and Mayweather of the past, it is now Pacquiao's turn to dictate from the helm. It's completely understandable why Cotto wouldn't want to go below 145lbs considering his struggles below 147lbs a few years ago, but with few other marquee fights on the board, you have to wonder what would his other options look like, aside from a small money rematch with Joshua Clottey.
With Pacquiao's patience beginning to wear thinner than his 140lb razor sharp frame, the attention has shifted to a familiar name.
How 'Sweet' It Is
After all the bickering and un-like-him antics that we recently saw from Shane Mosley, it wasn't until after he got quiet on the set and went about his business that we ended up finally hearing his name as a possibility.
A Mayweather fight would bring even more negotiating drama, and a Mosley fight would be seemingly drama-less (with him already conceding to the monetary and weight demands of Pacquiao); so if Cotto doesn't act on the offer on the table, that makes this a simple equation.
The old adage states that "you get more bees with honey than vinegar", and in this case, it couldn't hold more true, as the 'Sugarman' is on clearly on the brink of landing a sweet and highly unexpected deal.
The Arum Factor
The only trump card left is the fact that Top Rank head honcho Bob Arum is still on vacation and currently somewhat out of the loop. When he returns, you can bet his first line of order is to salvage the showdown between Cotto and Pacquiao, because in the case of an unfortunate Pacquiao loss, his only option would be to pin a returning Margarito against Mosley, or a possible Pacquiao/Mosley rematch.
A loss for Pacquiao to Mosley would take Arum out of the big race, but a loss of Pacquiao to Cotto would mean a rematch, or another mega fight that would involve one of his marquee fighters.
In the end, there's no true telling how this will all play out, but what we do know is that the longer Cotto sits away, the sweeter Mosley looks!
Stay tuned...

|First Assistant County Attorney Abigail Price-Williams read the foregoing ordinance into the record. Assistant County Attorney Gerald Sanchez advised Commissioner Heyman had requested that the foregoing ordinance be amended to change the language defining service animal found on handwritten page 6 to say "only include dogs and not any other animals." Commissioner Heyman noted that the definition of service animal was presently under review at the state and federal levels. Commissioner Heyman commented she was under the understanding there were other definitions of service animals; and she noted enforcement of the proposed ordinance would be difficult. She noted the foregoing item intended to provide service dogs and their owners with the ability to ride as passengers in for-hire vehicles such as taxis. Commissioner Heyman requested feedback on the state and federal rulings once the information was made available. She noted she would like to rectify the problem once the outcomes of those rulings were known. Assistant County Attorney Sanchez explained the definition of a service animal and advised there was no legal obligation to delete the term referring to what qualified as a service animal. Commissioner Heyman advised that she would not amend the foregoing proposed ordinance inasmuch as it would be applicable if the animal was registered as a service animal and would allow for better compliance. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance as presented.

|Assistant County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. Chairman Gimenez opened the public hearing. The following persons appeared in support of this ordinance: 1) Ms. Elizabeth McNally, 1960 NE 185 Terrace, North Miami Beach, member of the Citizen's Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC), member of the National Federation for the Blind, service animal user, and former Chair of the Commission on Disability Issues, noted she had trouble getting taxi cabs while accompanied by a guide dog, and that Special Transportation Services (STS) was not always an option. 2) Ms. Virginia Jacko, President, Miami Lighthouse for the Blind, noted she travels a lot to speak on behalf of all service animal users and was totally blind. She spoke of her experiences being refused rides by taxi cab drivers because she was accompanied by a guide dog, which served as her eyes. She noted many well-intended taxi drivers refuse guide dogs because of a State law; and felt this action was a violation of her civil rights and the County's rules needed to be stiffened. 3) Mr. Diego Feliciano, South Florida Taxicab Association (SFTA), noted he felt the disabled should be able to get a taxi cab whenever needed. He noted his only concern with this ordinance was that the fines might be too stiff and could adversely impact the Taxi Cab business. He supported better enforcement rather than steeper fines. 4) Mr. Les Eisenberg, Metro Taxi, spoke of cab drivers on Miami Beach refusing to stop for persons accompanied by guide dogs because of Florida Statute (FS) 316.1945, which prohibits improper stopping. He expressed concern about how this ordinance would be reconciled with the State law in order to keep cab drivers from violating the law. 5) Mr. John Valdez, 5590 SW 5 Terrace, noted as a cab driver, he would continue stopping for disabled persons accompanied by guide dogs; and if issued a citation for violating the State law, he would report the issuing officer to the American Disabilities Association. However, he noted he opposed companies being sued for their drivers not stopping; and felt it was the driver's responsibility. 6) Ms. Sandra Hicks, 8211 SW 30th St., President, Local National Federation of the Blind, noted she was born blind and had been disregarded by taxi cab drivers because she was accompanied by her guide dog. She noted having her dog gave her independence, which allowed her to travel to speak on the rights of the disabled concerning service animals. The following appeared in opposition: 1) Mr. Raymond Francois, 11970 NE 16th Avenue, expressed concern that this ordinance did not specify fines or types of service animals. He asked if it applied to all service animals, including horses. Chairman Gimenez closed the public hearing after seeing no one else wishing to speak on this matter. It was moved by Commissioner Sosa that the Committee forward the foregoing proposed ordinance to the County Commission with a favorable recommendation. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Martinez, and followed by a discussion. Commissioner Diaz concurred with the comments of Mr. Valdez. He noted taxi cab services were important because taxis were the first entity seen in this community by tourists traveling through Miami's airport. He noted he supported the recommendation of the County Attorney for fines of $500 for the first offense, $1,000 for the second, and a loss of license for a third offense, though he felt they were not strong enough. He asked whether this ordinance included a requirement for taxi cab companies to provide drivers a memorandum to check-off or sign, indicating they had received and understood this legislation. Ms. Cathy Grimes Peel, Director, Consumer Services Department (CSD), noted CSD would conduct an extensive informational campaign to ensure all tax cab chauffeurs were aware of this change in the legislation. She noted CSD currently conducts chauffer training classes with a session on ADA issues. Commissioner Diaz said he preferred having the taxi cab companies provide employees with a memorandum similar to a standard operating procedure (SOP) memorandum that they could sign, acknowledging they were aware of the new procedures. He noted he believed the issue concerning other types of service animals was covered under federal law. In response to Commissioner Diaz' request for legal clarification of issues related to this preference he just expressed, Assistant County Attorney Gerald Sanchez noted that when a chauffeur was ready to renew his or her registration, staff could provide a form for the chauffeur to sign in acknowledgement that he or she had read and understood these provisions. Responding further to Commissioner Diaz' inquiry regarding whether a company could be required to do the same, Assistant County Attorney Sanchez noted that requirement could be imposed on companies as well, but the issue, logistically, was how that would occur. Ms. Peel noted CSD could incorporate a provision in the chauffeur's application and renewal process for drivers to sign, acknowledging they understood this requirement, and could develop a document for owners of rental companies to sign and return to CSD, since not many rental companies existed. She advised it would take approximately two years for all chauffeurs in the renewal process to be informed. Commissioner Diaz asked to amend this ordinance to incorporate language as such. Commissioner Sosa accepted the amendment. She pointed out that a service animal was defined by federal law 28CFR36.104, and refusing to transport a disabled person with guide animal was already illegal. She noted the intent was to be sensitive to those with a disability. She asked to be listed as a co-sponsor of this ordinance. Commissioner Diaz asked to also be listed as a co-sponsor of this ordinance. Chairman Gimenez spoke in support of this proposed legislation, and asked to be listed as a co-sponsor of it. Hearing no further comments or questions, the Committee forwarded the foregoing proposed ordinance to the County Commission with a favorable recommendation, with committee amendment(s) to incorporate in the Chauffeur's application and renewal process, a provision for drivers to sign, and thereby, acknowledge they understood the requirements set forth in this ordinance.

Who voted for Grover Norquist, anyway?
Re: "GOP returning to reality on tax oath," Wednesday Viewpoints.
Very good column in The News by Eugene Robinson.
Did I miss something? I thought our legislators worked for us, not Grover Norquist. Really —signing a pledge to a lobbyist? In my opinion, they have no business signing anything like the anti-tax pledge, regardless of party affiliation.

One year ago, as I prepared for clerkship, I collected advice from many mentors. I published the thoughtful tips in a post "Be nice, be humble, be interested: advice received for clerkship". I still refer to these and you should too. Around the same time that others were offering me advice, I published the article "My Preclerkship Pearl: Show Up" as a suggestion for those just starting medical school. Now, with one year of clerkship under my belt, I feel ready to offer some near-peer clerkship mentorship advice of my own for those about to embark on what continuously proves to be an amazing, trying and wondrous experience. What is my clerkship pearl?
It seems so simple, and it is. Each and every day as you walk to the hospital care about what you are doing. First and foremost care about your patients, the rest will follow. Care, not about getting the right answer, but trying to get the right answer. Care about your responsibilities. Care about your notes. Even when you are tired, care. Care about what you are learning. Care about your colleagues. Care about your workspace. Care about contributing in the limited ways you can. Care about yourself.
But caring ABOUT is not enough. You must be active in your caring. You must care FOR.
Care for what you are doing. Care for your patients. This includes simple acts like finding her a warm blanket or glass of water. It also includes harder acts like vociferously advocating for him at team rounds when you think it is an important issue. Take care of the tasks you say you will. Care for your notes by making them legible, comprehensive and useful for the next person who might need to read them. Care for what you are learning by reading around cases. Care for your colleagues by pitching in, recognizing when they are struggling and celebrating their victories. Care for your workspace by cleaning up the mess you've made and others you find. Find caring ways to contribute in the limited ways you can. Care for yourself.
Some days all this caring will leave you feeling on top of the world. Some days you will care all you can and you will feel as though you were hit by a truck. Caring will leave you feeling everything in between. Either way, the next day, keep caring. If you notice that you are caring less, find someone to talk to. Seek out a classmate or a mentor; they will care about and for you.
Caring "about" and caring "for" will hold you in good stead. When you approach every interaction and each task from a place of caring, you will be doing your best. It will provide you with resilience when things go wrong (trust me, inappropriately dwelling is different from caring) and it will promote happiness and satisfaction in your day-to-day life. Caring is my clerkship pearl.
Fortunately, courtesy of the Queen's Medicine Class of 2015, I have many more practical clerkship pearls for you. My classmates generously offer their advice below:
- However much food you were planning on bringing for medicine call, you will need more. Anticipation is key! (this is the real message, applies also to non-edibles)
- Don't forget your phone charger!!!
- Be nice to your patients. Say hello and have a nice day to everyone. They will appreciate it and so will your preceptor.
- Be ready to admit when you don't know something or aren't comfortable carrying our a procedure or task. Admitting your limitations shows maturity.
- When it's time to go home, go home.
- Ask lots of questions – 99% of the time your preceptor is happy to answer/teach you about anything that you're not sure of, and at this stage we're really there to learn – no one expects you to know everything, so don't be shy to ask.
- Make a management plan! Even if you are 100% wrong, this is the time to make mistakes and learn, because you are not technically responsible and your work will be checked, but that's not the case next year!
- Smile! When you don't know what to say, at least look happy to be there.
- Introduce yourself (#hellomynameis) to the allied health care professionals (social workers, OTs, PTs), and especially the nurses. Get to know their names. This is one simple, concrete way to show that you are invested in the health care team. (PS. If you keep the nurses happy, they'll help you out: they'll keep you from looking silly in the OR, call you for deliveries, teach you how to place IVs, etc.)
- Always always come up with a diagnosis (or at least some top contenders) and a plan. This kind of active learning is far more effective than passively waiting for someone to tell you what to do, even if you're wrong. Plus, your resident / attending will interpret your effort as a sign that you're engaged and taking initiative. So even on your first rotation, when you're presenting to your senior, don't just stop after S and O! You DO know things, and probably more than you think.
- Never, ever feel guilty for staying and talking with a patient. Make time to chat, clarify, sympathize, etc as you feel it's needed; that extra few minutes of delay won't be the end of the world, and the trust you build may end up being invaluable to both of you.
- Commit to your plan and write out your orders, fill out requisitions, etc, before you present it.
- Stop to look up a differential diagnosis / plan when seeing a consult. It's not cheating if your differential diagnosis is made up of your work + looking it up on uptodate/diagnosaurus/pocket medicine/whatever other source you use. Don't feel you need to rush too much. This especially applies to when on call for internal medicine. You'll be a few minutes slower, but will look much more prepared when you do present, and you'll learn more with each case.
- Don't feel pressure to say you are interested in whatever rotation you are on. Often times, staff and residents will tailor which patients you see or what questions they ask you to your interests. Saying, "I am not sure yet and am keeping my doors open" is also not a bad thing – if it's true. I use every chance I get to ask preceptors why they those their specialty and what they like about it, because it helps me to think about and question my own interests.
- Write something about patients who really touch you. These will become the long entries in your logbook and will count as being reflective, if you're into that sort of thing.
- Even though things can get complicated and overwhelming, and even though you may feel pressured to cut corners, don't forget your basics. What you learned in pre-clerkship will serve you well.
- And don't let your patients get constipated.
- But don't get too worried if they get constipated. Soon you will fix that by loading them up with enough stool softeners that they will no longer be constipated, but rather have incredibly loose stools. But don't worry about that, because some Loperamide will plug them back up. But don't worry about that, because……
- The patient is always the most important person in the room. Yes, it is important to try to appear engaged and interested, but your preceptor comes to the hospital every morning to manage and treat patients, not to pimp you. With that in mind, think more about what you're doing for your patients, and less about how you think your preceptor sees you; strive to be helpful and pleasant no matter your audience.

Comparative physiology and functional morphology; exercise physiology & psychology I was originally trained as a comparative physiologist and functional morphologist, but since coming to Iowa, I have become increasingly focused on human exercise. I am interested in how people feel when they exercise, and why they feel that way. In particular, I study how the environment in which people exercise, and the intensity and quality of exercise, affect feelings of tension/relaxation, pleasure/displeasure, and self-efficacy. Recently my student, Kelsey Holkesvik, and I have been looking at how body image and salivary cortisol levels in middle-school-aged girls are affected by exercising either in an outdoor environment, where there are few opportunities to compare themselves with others, or in an indoor environment, such as a fitness center where there are other bodies and mirrors. Another student, Alex Reich, is exploring what cross-country runners tend to think about, and how they feel, when they run on a trail outdoors or indoors on a treadmill in a fitness center. My other interests include how people value nature, the role the environment plays in feelings of well-being and health, and issues of water quality and land use.
