TEANECK — A State Street man is accused of sexually assaulting a woman inside his apartment last week, the county prosecutor's office said today.
Sidney Jackson, Jr. was arrested Friday — two days after detectives from the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Unit learned of the alleged attack, Prosecutor John Molinelli said in a statement.
The victim, an acquaintance of Jackson's, reported the alleged attack to police on Feb. 13. Jackson, who was listed as single and self-employed, is being held on $150,000 bail at the Bergen County Jail.
He faces a single count of sexual assault, and is scheduled to appear in Teaneck Municipal Court on Tuesday.

With their frequent use of ancient Gaelic, their rich, warm, layered harmonies, clarion voices, and often ethereal arrangements, Clannad makes music that tends to sound like the score for a great mythological legend. It's no wonder the group's music has found its way to Hollywood over the years. In spite of their epic and mystical sound, however, Clannad's background is as humble as can be. Made up of a bunch of strong singers from a close-knit Irish family who began singing at their local pub, ther group's star rose in no small part because of their willingness to experiment with their distinctive sound. Macalla finds Clannad very much in the thick of the 1980s, trying on the trappings of the era's pop.
Macalla begins with "Caislean Oir," an echoing choral arrangement sung in Gaelic with the feeling of a sacred chant, a haunting female vocal and the thrumming of a harp. It is the album's only song in this familiar, distinctive Clannad style. An eerie synthesizer intro lures you into thinking that the next track, "The Wild Cry," will follow in this vein, but guitar, synthesizer, and eventually the wailing of a saxophone bring this ballad into new territory. The next track, "Closer to Your Heart" announces itself with synthesized drums, and unfolds as a verse-chorus pop song with hot electric guitar riffs and block chords played on Casio brass. It would almost feel at home on an album by Cyndi Lauper or Madonna.
The appearance of these elements—electric guitars, steamy sax solos, conspicuous keyboard synthesizers, and hooky choruses—may feel jarring at first if you're expecting the songs on Macalla to issue from a craggy abbey or to gallop past on the horizon like riders materializing from the mist. The thing is, they never eclipse the power at the heart of Clannad's powerful harmonies and enchanting individual vocal performances.

The I-16 / I-75 Interchange
Anyone who's ever wondered "How come those tree-hugging kooks in Macon keep saying this thing will be too big?" probably has their answer now.
Both renderings are from Moreland Altobelli, the primary engineering firm on this project, which is being coordinated through the Georgia Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. The DOT communications staff, which I find to be really helpful, emailed them at my request.
There's a reason for all those lanes, of course. To the south (your left) of the drawing there's an interstate exit. And to the east (your down) there are three exits off of I-16 all within a mile-and-a-half or so. That it is really unusual and complicates the interchange because of the "weaving" it creates.
That means people have to shift across several lanes under the current design to quickly go from I-75 to I-16 to Spring Street, which is the first exit.
The engineers' answer has been to separate the entrance and exit ramps. The ramps are going to be very long, so you will basically have to decide what you want to do (continue on I-75, get on I-16, get off on an exit) well before you reach the interchange itself. And then you'll be locked into that decision by concrete barriers. I'm not certain how many different "locked in" ramps there will be, or where they will begin, but I will check on that.
Without some pretty clear signage (and maybe even with it) I think it's safe to say a lot of people will be missing their exits. But the weave would be solved.
Finally - that small bridge on the far left of the new design? That's the pedestrian bridge across the river for the greenway trail.
The DOT's Web site for this project, by the way, is http://www.i16i75.com/.

Pretty cool. The weaving there has always been a nightmare.
But can someone please finish up the south end of I-475 and I-75? Pretty, pretty please?

Case Closed, get out your white flags:
The "WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN I16-I75 INTERCHANGE" is born.
Councilpersons Hutto, Lucas & Shirley Hills residents enter stage left...
I16-I75 Interchange fatalities from 2003 through 2006 = 1
5 Lane GDOT Designed Zebulon Road fatalities from 2003 to 2006 = 5
Best paraphrase from Moreland Altobelli Project Manager Brad Hale last night:
"Signs are not effective."
When asked if he had documentation regarding how many accidents and fatalities occurred before and after the GDOT signs that Doc Holliday fought seven years to implement, Hale Responded in usual engineering fashion when answering a simple direct question, "I don't know."
So i asked, what do you base your assumption that signs are not effective on? And he got that faraway look in his eyes and retreated into his shell.
The first engineer to tell me how to open the housing of of a Dirt Devil Jaguar model 085545 upright to replace the on/off switch wins a free, historic fact filled tour of Macon. They just don't make vacuum cleaner, toilet bowl and road engineers like they used to...
Just like Middle Georgia Politicians, all the dirt devil screws are out and nothing is budging.
As usual, Doc Holliday is ten steps ahead of he folks at GDOT.

It's a well known fact that we have a serious obesity epidemic on our hands in the U.S., with now more than 70 million adults and 12 million children and adolescents considered obese. But a new, multi-pronged initiative launched by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called The Weight of the Nation, wants to do something about it.
The movement, which is not only being carried out through its own website, book and medical conference, will now seek to reach Americans through their TV screens. A new HBO series called "The Weight of the Nation: Confronting America's Obesity Epidemic," will air in four, separate segments starting May 14. It's a public health announcement of sorts, warning America of the dangers of its future as an obese nation, and what we must do in order to stop it from happening.
Their motto states "To win, we have to lose," and they're working to put a plan in place to slow the rise in the number of Americans suffering chronic, debilitating and deadly diseases tied to weight. (more…)

Our Stories: Sailing ships, a printing empire and mysteries!
MyHeritage has some of the most fascinating members. We were delighted when we received the story of Anneliese Horst, 81, who was born in Chile and now lives in the US.
She has a law degree, a foreign language teaching certification, and teaches Spanish at Queens University (Charlotte, North Carolina, USA).
I was born in Santiago de Chile into a very large family; my parents were Mario Horst and Erna Pretzer. We spoke Spanish and German at home and went to school in Valdivia, Chile, a beautiful city in Chile's Lake Region.
I studied law in Santiago and, in 1961, spent a year in Bonn, Germany studying criminal law. In 1962, I married Ernst J. Foerster, moved to Lima, Perú, where our son Hans was born. In 1969, we moved to Mexico City, and a year later to St. Croix, US Virgin Islands where our daughter Andrea, was born.

Steven Spielberg's 25 greatest movies
HitFix ranks the legend's greatest films to date
19. 'The Adventures of Tintin' (2011)
The "animated" aspect of Steven Spielberg's one-two punch in 2011 was a dazzling experience, full of the director's trademark cinematic energy. The experience put a smile on my face and kept it there. It's Spielberg invigorated, the performance-capture and animation process allowing him to do things with the camera that he had only dreamed of, conjuring angles and set-pieces that surely had existed only in his head for decades, but finally had the freedom to run wild on the screen. The film is simply a landmark of visual conception, briskly paced, assured in its capacity to entertain.

> can decouple exit_mm() from coredumping code.
I'm all for separating the code more cleanly. But I don't think it can
work to change the order of the operations, i.e. it is not really true that
core dumps don't need each thread's ->mm link to be valid. Is there a
benefit to unlinking the mm before waiting for the core dump to finish?
The issue is that the user_regset calls to get "thread state" might
actually read some user memory. Those calls use a task_struct pointer and
you don't get to separately tell them the mm_struct describing the thread's
address space. For example, the sparc64 "general registers" note for core
files includes the register window read from user memory.
So, it's not OK to clear the ->mm before everything examining the thread's
machine state is really done, i.e. core dump and anything else.

"That is what Grady [Fuson, the Padres Vice-President of Scouting and Development] has been trying to get us to work on, look for the fastball that you can handle," said Storm third baseman David Freese. "When you don't swing at the balls in the corners, it forces the pitcher to throw it where he doesn't want to."
The big draw for the Lake Elsinore crowd was a rehab assignment for former Padres' pitcher Shawn Estes, who was on a 55-pitch count. Estes went four innings allowing three hits, striking out four and not walking a batter, throwing only fastballs and changeups while still being careful not to overextend his arm.
Nathan Culp, however, actually outpitched Estes, allowing only three hits over the final five innings to get the win and preserve the shutout.
The Storm opened the scoring when first baseman Craig Cooper singled to left-center, driving home designated hitter Kyle Blanks, and an error by the Mavericks centerfielder allowed right fielder Mike Baxter to also advance home. Cooper then advanced to third on a wild pitch with left fielder Josh Alley driving him home with a two-out double to right-center.
Mavericks' pitcher Nathan Adcock imploded in the bottom of the third, drilling second baseman Sean Kazmar to lead off the inning. The Mavericks problems mounted when their shortstop made a wild throw to first base allowing Freese an infield single and putting runners at the corners. Blanks then walked for his second time of the evening setting up Cooper again with the bases loaded. Cooper drew a full count walk to bring in the run.
"That is the philosophy of our organization is to see as many balls as possible and sooner or later you are going to get you're pitch to hit," said Storm manager Carlos Lezcano after the game.
Shortstop Juan Ciriaco then broke the game open with a single followed by a bad misplay by the left fielder which cleared the bases to make the score 8-0.
In the bottom of the fourth inning with two outs, a pair of back-to-back singles by Blanks and Baxter followed by another walk to Cooper brought up Ciriaco who singled home two more runs for his third and fourth RBIs of the night.
"I credit the revamping of my swing in the Arizona League for two weeks with improving my timing and ability to see the ball, which I hope will return me to my all-star form of 2005," Ciriaco said through an interpreter.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Storm staged a final two-out rally when an error put Freese on who was driven home by Blanks' double, which mercifully ended the Storm's scoring for the night.


text: Share Your Story: Mindy Andre by Christy D. on Friday, November 8, 2013 Mindy Andre Missouri I never gave much thought to heart disease before the birth of my youngest son, even though my father had suffered a heart attack years before. "On December 30, 2010 the entire way I thought about many things" shifted. This was the day my son Silas was born, we completely expected an uneventful welcoming, we already had two other healthy children. After his birth he began to have trouble breathing and was quite blue. The NICU at North Kansas City hospital was called down to take a look at him and they concluded that he must have just had some fluid in his lungs because he began to breath better. He was whisked off to the nursery to get cleaned up while I was moved to my room on the floor above where he was born. We waited and waited for him to be returned to us all cleaned up and had visitors waiting to meet him as well. I asked the nurse about when they would be bringing him, it had been about six hours since I was moved. Having two other children beforehand, I knew this was a bit unusual to be apart this long. The nurse returned and informed me they would be bringing him to me soon but they had heard a murmur and wanted to call in cardiology. She assured me that it was probably nothing but they wanted to be cautious. On New Year's Eve an EKG (heart test which tests the electric function) and an ECHO (basically a sonogram of the heart) was performed by a cardiologist from Children's Mercy Hospital. My husband had left for awhile and I was all alone when the cardiologist came in to tell me the news. Silas had what they called Ebstein's Anomaly, a displacement of the tricuspid valve. I tried to hold back the tears but I was devastated and scared and knew nothing about heart defects or the implications of having a child with one. We were lucky enough to come home like a regular newborn and followed up about 3 weeks later in the Cardiology Clinic. This is when everything I thought I knew changed. He did not have Ebstein's as originally thought. There were a few other minor heart issues, but the main diagnosis now became a form of cardiomyopathy. Specifically, dilated non compaction of the left ventricle. Say what? Yet another term I had never heard of. Googling it became even scarier, all the results talked about what a high mortality rate there was with this disease and how rare it was. Needless to say I was a mess, emotionally, for about a year, during which I read and studying anything and everything I could find. He was put on medicine which helped his heart function much better, and he underwent genetic testing which revealed a mutation in the MYH7 gene, a known heart gene that tells the muscle how to function properly. I underwent testing shortly after and I did not carry the gene and just recently my husband was tested and he too is positive. He also shows signs of cardiomyopathy as well. Our two older children were tested this fall and they too have the mutation, but no disease at this point. They will be followed by cardiology from now on to check for disease development. So, after the birth of a very special boy, our lives changed forever and we now know information that could potentially be live saving for other members of our family. I never would have imagined that this would happen to my family, but I have gained so much knowledge and I am committed to supporting research efforts to better understand heart diseases and cures. I am very thankful that Silas has done so well, but there are daily medications and frequent doctor visits ahead of us for a lifetime, but he is well worth it! « Now share your story Share This

John Eric Broaddus was one of the most inventive and creative artists to approach the book form. He was a prominent figure in the New York City art scene in the 1970s and 1980s, creating books before the book form even had a suggestion of acceptance in the art world. Broaddus also created one-of-a kind costumes that he wore out on New York streets and in iconic places like Studio 54. He was vibrant, outlandish and did much to contribute to the world of artistic interplay. Broaddus' inspired life was cut short by AIDS in 1990, but his legacy lives on in the work he left behind, a muse in itself for book artists even 20 years later.
The Wanderlust exhibition can be viewed during library hours, which can be found at www.library.fau.edu/geninfo/hours.htm?boca or by calling 561- 297-3770. For the portion of the exhibition found inside the Jaffe Center, hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.jaffecollection.org.

Birdo IS a girl, and also not a Yoshi =P She's a boss in Super Mario Bros 2 actually...just how she appears in Melee
Yeah, I wish they would make a bigger Yoshi's Island stage...although the Past Stages: Yoshi's Story stage was great cuz they made it bigger than it actually is in the first game. Something about the conversion between the two formats or something =P
BTW Yoshi's Story is one of my favorite games, and he's my family's favorite character...one of mine, but I always thought Bowser looked cooler...
on wikipedia and in the mario bros 2 instrucntion manuel it says birdo is a boy that acts like a girl .

I was looking at the stages the other day and I noticed that the LoZ stage was on the bridge from TP. Now I'm not sure if this is just one of a few stages from the LoZ but I really hope they add a hyrule castle/temple stage because both on SSB and SSBM were my favorite levels.
my favourite stage was starfox ship thing, lylat cruise i think
Honestly just as long as Corneria is a level in Brawl. Corneria or a variation, basically as long as i fight on the Great Fox i will be happy
Mr.Game and watch will appear on the site and under your bed
I'll kill for meat based products. Screw vegetarians!!

The Charlie's Las Vegas is a Gay club meant for men in Las Vegas. It is located on the Arville Street in West Tropicana Avenue. The area is to the West of the Strip. This club is headed by the gay country fans and followers of the Nevada Gay Rodeo Association.
Charlie's Las Vegas is a western themed bar with a large space that is meant for both dancing and socializing. This is a place that though reserved for gays; it attracts men and women equally. This bar remains open every day in the week, twenty four hours a day.
However, on certain days, this bar attracts a larger crowd than other days. For example, on Sunday, the $5 beer bust provided and the drag show at 9 p.m. attracts a large crowd to this club. The place has a disco ball and a glass encrusted cow boy boot that hangs over the shiny and wooden dance floor. The walls of the side hallway of this place are covered with posters that promote gay brotherhood. The Charlie's Las Vegas is a wonderful place to spend the evening dancing and socializing.

3.3 of 5 stars
New York, NY
Being surrounded by the most amazing people in this industry. Having opportunities to pick their brains and work with them directly. Learning how to truly research and dig into a story and find elements that others wouldn't. See the process of producers as they take news stories and make them understandable and applicable to the entire public.
Very little oversight in my department. Other interns were either amazing or awful. It was fairly obvious who got here through connections vs. talent/hard work. While I personally don't think pay is required, there is frustration knowing that the interns working at NBC/ABC are getting paid for very similar work to what we are performing. Summer Interns at "60 Minutes" should get two- three weeks as a group in July to put together a 60 minutes style/quality piece. They would have enough time to put something together while still working on other topics/research etc...
Be overly friendly to everyone-spend less time getting to know the other interns right off the bat and more time getting to know the employees. Act like you would want an intern working for you to act. Don't wait for people to ask you to do things. Step up and figure out what can be done.
Allow interns the opportunity to have crossover into other areas if they want it. Applying for one area at CBS was the hardest thing I have ever done and I feel like different areas might benefit different people more/less. That being said...keep up the fantastic program. It is well-organized, super educational and motivated me every day. Thank you.
Listening to all of the speakers, including Scott Pelley, David Rhodes, Jeff Fager, and Susan Zirinsky
Not being able to rotate to different departments
Plenty of hands-on experience and networking opportunities, and the intern project is an amazing opportunity to produce your own segment and work with interns and producers from various departments.
Compensation for travel and meals would be appreciated
The opportunities within the company that I was able to experience such as attending 60 minutes shoots and the evening news
Sometimes there was a shortage of valuable tasks to accomplish and I would have liked to do more outside of the office with the publicists
A great company to work for with a cohesive corporate culture
More money for interns and more responsibility put on us in the press office
We had a lot of great opportunities to speak to executives in the company. Got to see some cool things. The office was very friendly.
The everyday tasks were somewhat boring and felt some what unimportant. Sometimes I felt as though the office did not know what to do with us. I did a lot of just sitting there- not that I wanted more "busy" work.
Be very open in the beginning about your expectations.
In the press office I would recommend assigning an intern to each of the publicists
Easy to make great connections, access to a lot of technology, information, resources.
Tough to get assignments that possess actual value.
Employees are all kind, friendly, and helpful.
I got a lot of hands on experience assisting the producers with their projects
I only had 10 weeks there, not enough time to really get comfortable and get good at what I was doing
If you get into the CBS internship program, try as hard as you can to get in to the Investigative Unit. It is by far the best gig.
3.2 of 5 stars
Great networking, learned new skills, gained insight into the industry
No pay, commute.
If you are passionate about television journalism and are responsible, independent and hard-working, this internship is for you.
Pay us minimum wage. Every other network pays. Especially if it's 40 hours a week, which is full time.
2.8 of 5 stars
learning the real world experience of the broadcast industry and working on a group project.
lack of pay( but still wonderful experience!) in a expensive city as New York.
Be proactive, make as many connections as possible and be willing to work on any project given to you with enthusiasm.

How Stem Cells are Collected
Blood stem cells are located in the bone marrow. Until about 20 years ago, the only way to collect these stem cells was to have the patient or donor receive a general anesthetic and undergo as many as 50 to 100 bone marrow aspirations from the back of the pelvic bone to remove enough bone marrow and stem cells to use for future transplant. This was obviously painful, frightening, and inconvenient. The discovery that stem cells could be collected from the bloodstream by giving a patient donor injections of stem cell growth factors or colony-stimulating factors such as Neupogen®, Neulasta®, or Leukine® to trigger the release of bone marrow stem cells into the bloodstream was a major breakthrough. With refinements over the years, this has become the standard method. It is rarely necessary to use the old method of direct bone marrow harvesting from the pelvic bone.
Methods of collecting stem cells from the blood stream (peripheral blood stem cells[PBSC])
There are three main methods for collecting stem cells: 1) giving growth factors alone, 2) giving growth factors with chemotherapy, or 3) using a mobilization agent with growth factors.
The Collecting or Harvesting Procedure
In medical language, the harvesting is called apheresis or leukapharesis – literally the removal of white cells from the blood stream. Apheresis is a procedure whereby blood from the patient or donor passes through a special machine that separates (using a centrifuge technique) and then removes stem cells. The rest of the blood is immediately returned to the patient or donor. Compared to direct bone marrow harvesting, this is a remarkably simple and pain-free procedure.
Apheresis/Leukapheresis: Prior to the start of apheresis, a thin flexible plastic tube called a catheter is inserted through the skin and into a vein so that the blood can be taken out. The catheter is usually inserted into the chest just below the collarbone. Insertion of the catheter is usually done as an outpatient procedure, and only a local anesthetic is necessary. The site where the catheter enters the skin may be sore for a few days; the discomfort may be relieved with medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol®). The catheter may be kept in place for several weeks because it can be used to give chemotherapy after stem cells have been collected. Sometimes the same catheter is used during the transplant procedure as well. During this procedure, blood is collected through the catheter and processed through a blood-processing machine to remove the stem cells. The rest of the blood is returned through part of the same catheter (the lumen not being used in a double lumen catheter) or by using a different catheter. The apheresis procedure will last 3 to 4 hours each day for 1 to 5 days. Aphresis is usually done as an outpatient procedure.
The most common side effects experienced during apheresis are slight dizziness and tingling sensations in the hands and feet. Less common side effects include chills, tremors, and muscle cramps. These side effects are temporary and are caused by changes in the volume of the patient's blood as it circulates in and out of the apheresis machine, as well as by the blood thinners added to keep the blood from clotting during apheresis.
Processing stem cells: After collection, the peripheral blood (or occasionally direct bone marrow material) is taken to the processing laboratory, which is usually located within the hospital or local blood bank. I the processing laboratory, the bone marrow or blood cells are prepared for freezing (cryopreservation). The stem cells are mixed with a solution containing the chemical DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) to prepare the stem cells for freezing. The stem cells are then frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen. The stem cells will be frozen until the time they will be needed for the transplant. They can be stored frozen for as long as necessary. There is some deterioration with time, but excellent function of stems cells is retained for at least ten years.
How many stem cells do I need? Over the years, a number of studies have been completed to determine the number of stem cells you need to safely undergo high-dose therapy. The number of stem cells is quantified by a special laboratory technique called "CD34+ cell analysis by flow cytometry." A small sample of the stem cell collection is tested for the number of CD34+ cells in the product. We know that a minimum number of stem cells to safely complete a transplant is 2 million CD34+ cells per kilogram of body weight. The number of CD34+ cells is checked in each daily collection and the number tallied. The stem cell collection process continues daily until the planned number of stem cells is collected – usually 1 to 4 days. Some transplant centers check the number of CD34+ cells BEFORE starting leukapheresis to make certain there will be a good collection that day. Most transplant physicians collect enough stem cells for two transplants (over 4 million CD34+ cells per kilogram body weight)..
Administering High-Dose Chemotherapy
After the stem cells are frozen and stored, the patient is ready to receive high-dose chemotherapy. This treatment is designed to destroy myeloma cells more effectively than standard-dose chemotherapy. The purpose of high-dose chemotherapy is to kill myeloma cells inside the patient's body. The most common type of high-dose chemotherapy used to treat myeloma is melphalan administered at a dose of 200 milligrams per square meter (mg/m2) of body surface area (size of patient). Depending on the type of myeloma and other factors, some patients may receive a second transplant 3 to 6 months after the first transplant (double or tandem transplant). A patient should discuss with the doctor the pros and cons of more than one transplant planned and performed back-to-back versus the possibility that the cells will be stored for a potential second transplant at a later time.
Autologous Stem Cell Transplant or Infusion
Since high-dose treatment destroys the normal bone marrow in addition to the myeloma cells, the blood stem cells must be given back to restore the bone marrow. The previously collected stem cells will be unfrozen and given back, through a catheter, into the bloodstream (as one would receive a blood transfusion) one to two days after administration of the high-dose chemotherapy. This procedure is often referred to as the transplant. The transplant takes place in the patient's room: it is not a surgical procedure. The frozen bags of bone marrow or blood cells are thawed in a warm water bath, and then injected into the bloodstream through the catheter. Upon thawing, the DMSO (freezing agent) evaporates into the air and creates a distinct and somewhat unpleasant garlic smell. Most centers infuse one bag at a time. It usually takes 1 to 4 hours for the infusion. Infused stem cells travel through the bloodstream, and eventually, to the bone marrow, where they begin to produce new white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. It takes 10 to 14 days for the newly produced blood cells to enter the bloodstream in substantial numbers. Growth factors may again be given to the patient to speed up this process. In addition to obliterating the bone marrow, high-dose chemotherapy can cause other severe side effects, which may require that some patients be admitted to the hospital for treatment during this period. (Not all transplant centers require that patients remain in the hospital after the infusion of stem cells; some have facilities close by where patients may stay and be monitored daily at the hospital on an out-patient basis, while others allow patients who live close to the hospital to sleep at home and be monitored at the hospital). The average time in the hospital (or a nearby facility) for the chemotherapy, transplant, and recovery is approximately 3 weeks. Shortly before starting chemotherapy, patients usually are given large amounts of fluid to prevent dehydration and kidney damage from the chemotherapy. Some of the more common side effects of chemotherapy include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, skin rashes, hair loss, fever or chills, and infection. Medications designed to prevent or lessen some of the expected side effects of treatment are given routinely. Patients are very closely monitored during and after the administration of high-dose chemotherapy. Monitoring includes daily weight measurement as well as frequent measurements of blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature.
Preventing Infection
During the first 2 to 3 weeks after transplantation, the re-infused stem cells migrate to the bone marrow and begin the process of producing replacement blood cells, a process called engraftment. Until engraftment of the stem cells takes place, patients are very susceptible to developing infections. Even a minor infection like the common cold can lead to serious problems because the body's immune system is so weakened by the effects of the high-dose chemotherapy. Therefore, special precautions are necessary during recovery. Since the patient's immune system is very weak, patients may remain in the hospital until the white blood cell counts reach a level safe enough for the patient to be discharged.
To prevent infection, the following supportive care measures may be required:
• Antibiotics are often prescribed to help prevent infection.
• Visitors should wash their hands and may be asked to wear masks and rubber gloves to protect the patient.
• Fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers may be prohibited from the patient's room as these can carry infection (bacteria and fungi).
• If infection and/or fever occurs (as the result of lowered white cell counts), the patient may be admitted to the hospital and be given intravenous antibiotics.
Engraftment and Recovery
Once the stem cells have been re-infused, it will take about two weeks for blood counts to recover. Many transplant centers will again use white blood cell growth factors (Neupogen, Neulasta, Leukine) after the transplant to help stimulate the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells. These injections (under the skin) will continue until the white blood count returns to normal. During this time, red blood cell and/or platelet transfusions may be necessary.
Waiting for the transplanted stem cells to engraft, for blood counts to return to safe levels, and for side effects to disappear is often the most difficult time for both patients and their family and friends. During this period patients will feel weak and very fatigued. Having a support network is very important during this period. Recovery can be like a roller coaster ride: one day a patient may feel much better, only to awake the next day feeling as sick as ever. It is important during this period to take things one day at a time. Once new blood cells are being made, symptoms will resolve, the risk of serious infections will be reduced, and transfusions will no longer be needed.
After being discharged from the hospital, a patient continues recovery at home for two to four months. Although patients may be well enough to leave the hospital, their recovery will be far from over. For the first several weeks the patient may be too weak to do much more than sleep, sit up, and walk a little around the house. Frequent visits to the hospital will be required to monitor progress. Patients usually cannot resume normal activities or return to fulltime work for up to three to six months after the transplant, although this varies from individual to individual.

Fixing the present, planning for the future
Bob Freudenthal
APWA President
Ahh! Spring—time of rebirth and renewal! Spring also means a change from the present. It seems to me that we rarely live in the present anymore. I know that I am currently looking at the next round of trips I have planned to chapters in the upcoming months—three months away; that the APWA staff is busily working on preparations for the Congress in September—four months away; and that a lot of you are preparing budgets for the next fiscal year—five months or so away. So, what happened to the present?
The unfortunate reality of both our daily personal and business lives demands that we plan for the future while physically being in the present. Public works employees have always lived in both worlds: planning for construction or reconstruction while picking up storm debris from yesterday's natural disaster; scheduling coverage for next week's impending snow storm while running trash pickups every day; drawing up a new traffic calming plan while at the same time fixing traffic signals down on 10th & Main.
One could call ours a fractured existence. And, I'm pretty sure many of you are identifying with that feeling right now. Perhaps this is what growth is all about—worrying about the future while fixing the present.
The first quarter of this year brought the meaning of appreciating the present a little closer to me and the APWA leadership. We lost a sitting Board Member, Jack Pittis, at 59 and a key staff director, Bob Browell, at 57—both at relatively young ages in a population that no longer thinks hitting 100 years is extraordinary. And my own father passed away this year. It was bittersweet to sit through these individuals' memorial services and hear all their incredible accomplishments. I realized how much we don't know about the people with whom we associate until they are gone.
In this month's issue we are honoring the Top Ten Public Works Leaders of the Year—all of whom have a list of impressive achievements both in their profession and in their community. I hope you will take the time to read their stories. One of the common links we find among these outstanding individuals is their passion for what they are doing. I believe one of the factors of personal success is knowing yourself well enough to choose the correct path in life and then to zealously pursue it. These Top Ten have done just that and in the process are leaving a great legacy for future public works professionals.
But who will be the Top Ten twenty or thirty years from now? Will there be new factors that qualify one for success in the profession?
I have just been reading the preview for our upcoming Congress in Kansas City in September and our opening keynoter caught my attention. Daniel Pink is the author of A Whole New Mind, Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age. The premise of his book is that the era of the "left-brain" dominance and the Information Age that it engendered is giving way to a new world in which artistic and holistic "right-brain" abilities delineate those who succeed and those who fall behind. (He plays this out by describing what he calls the six essential aptitudes on which professional success and personal fulfillment now depend. They are: Design, Story, Symphony, Empathy, Play and Meaning—whose further explanation I leave to those who read his book or hear his presentation at Congress.)
However, I was intrigued by the second chapter of his book in which he attributes this future shift to: "Abundance, Asia, and Automation." Quoting from his book, "In an age of abundance, appealing only to rational, logical and functional needs is woefully insufficient. Engineers must figure out how to get things to work. But if those things are not also pleasing to the eye or compelling to the soul, few will buy them. Master of design, empathy, play and other seemingly 'soft' aptitudes is now the main way for individuals and firms to stand out in a crowded marketplace."
Pink continues by saying, "This coming upheaval will be difficult for many, ... they'll need to do what workers abroad [referring to outsourced jobs] cannot do equally well for much less money—using R-Directed [right-brain] abilities such as forging relationships rather than executing transactions, tackling novel challenges instead of solving routine problems and synthesizing the big picture rather than analyzing a single component."
Many of the leaders and players in this profession of public works have excelled in these right-brain qualities though schooled primarily in left-brained systems. One can't maintain a city or town filled with vocal citizens, or plan a community around the elements of "Smart Growth" and context-sensitive design, or manage the politics of weekly council and commission meetings without the right-brain abilities seriously kicking in. We have had to master this balance of left- and right-brain aptitudes to accomplish our jobs.
Public works professionals actually have been creating the "future horizons" and living in the "present reality" simultaneously. Unfortunately, too often we do not take enough credit for the design efforts and big-picture thinking that compels so many of us to be passionate about our profession. Which brings me back to my beginning—spring, the season for renewal, should also be the time for us to take stock and renew our appreciation for the really outstanding service public works delivers and our personal role in making the present better for so many and planning a wondrous future for those who follow.
Congratulations and Best Wishes to all APWA Members, both you, the right- and left-brained thinkers, during the celebration of National Public Works Week this month. You are the foundation of our daily existence and the inventors of our future lifestyles. Keep up the good work! Recognize and celebrate your contributions!

The Boys Ranch Independent School District board of trustees adopted its budget Tuesday for the 1999-2000 fiscal year.
Of the $5,357,783 budget, $3.5 million will be paid by Cal Farley's Boys Ranch and Affiliates, the only taxpayer in the school district. The state and federal governments will pay the remaining $1,857,783, school board trustee John Arick said.
The Boys Ranch public schools are unique in that they were established by state statute, he said.
The portion of the budget paid with state and federal money is based on enrollment at Boys Ranch schools. The school board negotiates with Boys Ranch officials to arrive at the remainder of the funding, said Arick and new school Superintendent Danny Cochran.
Officials announced enrollment at the elementary, middle and high schools is a combined 301 students. Of those, 213 are "Ranchers" and 88 are the children of Boys Ranch staff members, Cochran said.
By law, the Boys Ranch school board is made up of three trustees, who are appointed by the State Board of Education rather than elected, Arick said.
The board consists of Arick, Jack Quackenbush and Lilia Escajeda. Each serves a three-year, staggered term. Escajeda was absent Tuesday.
The board was disappointed that a bill to increase the number of Boys Ranch school trustees died in the Legislature this year, Arick said. Senate Bill 1060, which passed the Senate but died in the House, would have increased the number of trustees to five or seven.
Cochran, who was the superintendent in Miami before being hired recently at Boys Ranch, said more members would "give the board the opportunity to get more diverse opinions."
Boys Ranch will try again to get the measure passed in the 2001 legislative session, Arick said.

An Inside Look at a Beacon Award-Winning ICU
... Setting the Standard for Patient Safety ...
If you visit the 4A/5A Cardiovascular-Thoracic Critical Care Unit at Emory University Hospital as an outsider looking in - taking a tour, if you will - you will leave a different person. Something unique will happen to your perspective on life as you circle the two floors of this unit. You'll leave feeling:
- Thankful there exists in this world a critical care team so full of compassion and commitment to quality, evidence-based care that you and yours would be in the best hands should you need their help
- Astounded by the number of heart and lung transplant patients recovering here daily - proof of remarkable moments of innovation and advancement that never become commonplace to these health care providers
- Enlightened by the steadfast rhythm of confident caregivers working toward quality care
It comes as no surprise that the 4A/5A ICU is the first cardiovascular unit in Georgia to receive Beacon Designation as an outstanding critical care unit by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses. Beacon Award units, which represent the nation's top critical care units, set the standard for excellent critical care and help benchmark health care systems, outcomes and environments - all increasingly linked to patient safety initiatives. And if one thing is apparent on this unit, patient safety is always top of mind.
Patient Safety and Infection Control
"Preventing infection in a critical care environment is imperative," explains Emmanuel Alimi, a 4A/5A ICU nurse (far right in the single-line photo). "Therefore, we observe strict infection control measures, especially to prevent any cross contamination among our patients. These measures; such as hand washing and wearing protective gear, like gowns, masks and gloves; are of paramount importance."
Phyllis Lowery, also a 4A/5A ICU nurse (second from the left in the front row of the double-line photo), continues, "Prevention is the key. Our Infection Control Committee works to implement policies that assist in our commitment to quality. Everything we do is based on evidence-based research. To ensure everyone is following the same procedures, we use bundles, sets of standard procedures to prevent different complications, such as pneumonia. The repetitive nature of practicing this way is what creates quality - everyone doing the same thing every time based on proven research.
"Furthermore, throughout Emory Healthcare, we emphasize patient- and family-centered care. Family members aren't visitors; they are partners in the continuum of care. For example, on our unit, we've expanded our 'visiting' hours and include the family in beside reporting and rounds. By incorporating the family, we are adding another mechanism for accuracy and safety."
As much as the members on this unit follow proven evidence, they also work to pave the way for future clinical practices. For example, the nurses on this unit, as well as on 5G ICU/6G ICU, recently conducted a study to reduce the incidence of blood-stream and resistant organism infections by using chlorhexidine gluconate wipes in place of traditional bathing procedures. Within just three months of implementing the study, bloodstream infection rates were reduced from 3.6 per 1,000 patient days to one per 1,000 patient days. The study was so successful that the units were honored with the Josh Nahum Special Achievement Award for Infection Prevention and Control at the PHA (Partnership for Health and Accountability) 2008 Quality & Patient Safety Awards.
Team Pride
Although clinical practice on 4A/5A ICU is driven by measurable outcomes, there is something that can't quite be measured here, but is overwhelmingly apparent, and that is team pride. You see that pride on the faces of the team members who have called this unit their career home for decades. You see it written in the stories within the unit's newsletter. And you hear it in the words of team leaders.
As Therese Baker, unit director (far right in the double-line photo), says, "I feel fortunate to work here. These individuals are highly motivated and compassionate. They are advocates for their patients."
"This team has always been composed of providers who want to excel and reach the next level," continues Mary Zellinger, clinical nurse specialist for the team. "They motivate each other to maintain a higher level of knowledge and greater competencies. They are role models."
With awards to their credit and an unbreakable interdisciplinary team, 4A/5A ICU will continue to set the standard of care. They are tied to each other and to their patients with an uncanny drive to advance their clinical practice, support each other and serve as models within the health care industry.
Just a few of the stellar team members in Emory Healthcare's 4A/5A Cardiovascular-Thoracic Critical Care Unit at Emory University Hospital.

The details of the big secret from the "One Day At A Time" actress, whose new book, "High on Arrival," comes out the same day, are being kept under wraps. In clips released to the media of the interview, however, the actress said her dad shot her up with heroin.
"He would put the needle in my arm and he would push the plunger in and he missed … the vein and my whole arm went numb," Phillips recounted to Winfrey.
"Was he nervous?" Winfrey asked.
"He seemed a little nervous, but at the same time it seemed very commonplace," the actress said.
More big revelations are expected on Wednesday's show, including the details of Phillips' seduction by Mick Jagger.
Mackenzie Phillips has had a long history with drug use over the years. Most recently, in October 2008, she pleaded guilty to cocaine possession, following an incident during which she was arrested in August 2008 at Los Angeles International Airport. She was found carrying, "what appeared to be heroin and cocaine in baggies and balloons" airport police told Access at the time.
Following the incident, Phillips thanked the authorities.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank [police] for stopping me, and probably saving my life," she said at her October 2008 hearing.

Welcome to the IMF's Myeloma Minute
News about myeloma treatment, research, support and the myeloma community
from the International Myeloma Foundation.
-The FDA Has Granted Marketing Authority for Mozobil with Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor in Patients with Multiple Myeloma and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma-
Many patients scheduled for stem cell transplants could benefit from the FDA approval of Mozobil™ (plerixa for injection). Mozobil releases biological bonds that hold stem cells to the bone marrow so they travel into the blood stream where they are available for harvest. The regimen was approved for patients with multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in preparation for autologous stem cell transplantation, a standard of care for patients meeting certain medical conditions.
"We believe Mozobil can help patients who are candidates for transplant by increasing the number of stem cells available to be harvested, and shortening the amount of time required for that harvest to take place, "said Susie Novis, President of the IMF. "We applaud new developments such as this with the potential to ease the burden on patients, and reduce the resources required for their care."
According to the Genzyme Corporation that makes Mozobil, studies have shown that the median time required to collect the target number of stem cells was just one day for patients given Mozobil, while patients on placebo required a median number of four days for the required number of cells to be collected. The target number of stem cells required for harvest is at least 6 million cells per kg of body weight.
Stem cell transplantation is an option for many myeloma patients upon completion of frontline therapy. Eligibility for autologous stem cell transplantation is based on factors including patient age and general health, type of myeloma, stage of myeloma, disease aggressiveness and responsiveness to treatment.
Mozobil is now approved for use in the United States in combination with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). Approval is pending in Europe, Australia, and Brazil with additional applications planned.
