Dr. Smith and his colleagues at the Mayo Clinic have prepared an elegant but expensive atlas of pain patterns dealing with some of the commoner causes of pain arising from lesions in the upper abdomen. The more we study and analyze pain the less susceptible it is to definition and understanding. All our efforts to pin it down, to diagram it, to draw maps of its localization and charts of paths by which it may spread or regions to which it may be referred fall short of realization. Therefore, every effort directed at a closer comprehension of pain and its primary role in differential diagnosis, particularly in persons with acute surgical calamities, is all to the good. The upper abdomen is a time-honored battleground for many various pains. This book will appeal to undergraduate students and should be helpful for surgeons as well as internists.

Heidenhain's ERO 1200 and 1400 series of modular optical rotary encoders are designed for motion control use on dynamic stages and machines in the general automation or semiconductor industries, such as pick-and-place machines. Because they have no integral bearings, the encoders enable ±0.02 mm of axial motion, providing room for thermal growth of motors or machines, the company says. The ERO 1200 and 1400 series support line-driven TTL outputs (RS-422) as well as differential 1-V peak-to-peak signals, which can be interpolated for use in a speed control loop.
The ERO 1200 encoders are available with a 10- or 12-mm shaft, offering a graduation accuracy of ±6 arcseconds. The smaller, versatile ERO 1400 encoders are available with through-shaft diameters of 4, 6 or 8 mm, as well as a self-centering slide mechanism. The ERO 1400 series also features onboard interpolation to achieve resolutions of 37,500 signal periods per revolution, facilitating use on high-resolution viscometers or portable mass spectrometers.

Health and Medical History of PresidentGerald Ford
President #38
Lived: 1913-2006 Served: 1974-1977
Timeline from 1776: ← 2013
One Christmas, "the president and his family were vacationing in Vail, Colorado. They were eating dinner in their rented chalet and one of their dogs messed on the floor. A White House steward started to clean up, but Ford took the rag away and did the job himself, [saying] `No man should have to clean up after another man's dog.'" 15a
Maladies: unnecessary appendectomy · stutter · sold his blood · weak knees · shoulder dislocation · pipe smoker · skimped on sleep · clumsy · swine flu immunization · voice strain · election-loss blues · facial aging · weight · his routine · knee replacements · tore ankle ligament · food sensitivities · tongue abscess · stroke · dizziness in heat · "horrible cold" · pneumonia · shortness of breath · pacemaker, coronary angioplasty · hospitalization for tests · undisclosed cause · · Odds & Ends · · Resources
unnecessary appendectomy
At age 5 Ford developed severe abdominal pain. He was rushed to the hospital, where appendicitis was diagnosed. At operation, his appendix was discovered to be normal 5a. Comment: Ford's parents were furious. It should be remembered, however, that as late as the 1980s, surgeons understood that 10% of their operations for appendicitis should discover a normal appendix: anything less meant that diseased appendices were going un-operated. Imaging methods developed since then have changed the rules. Interestingly, Ford was to be midiagnosed again, 70 years later (see below).
sold his blood
Ford was in college during the depths of the Depression, and was desperate for money. Every two months, he sold his blood for $25 6a. Comment: Did he do this while excelling at football? That would be very impressive.
weak knees
shoulder dislocation
Dislocated a shoulder on a ski vacation in Michigan, while courting Betty. It evidently bothered him to some degree afterwards, because he warned a friend who did the same thing: "You're going to have trouble with it the rest of your life" 6c.
pipe smoker
Ford smoked a pipe, about eight bowls a day 5d.
skimped on sleep
Ford had an "always impressive" energy level 6d, but liked to sleep in his own bed. So, as Vice President his travel was generally scheduled as "marathon" one-day trips that got him home "well past midnight." After five hours of sleep, he would repeat the process. "He loved red-eye flights like no politician I've ever covered" 6e. Even as President, Ford would walk his dog in the middle of the night if she needed it 6f.
His reputation as a clumsy person is ironic, given that he is the most athletic president of the 20th century. A former All-Star college football player (who turned down offers to play professionally 5c), he was in good physical shape when he entered the White House at age 62. As President, he continued to ski, swim, and play golf and tennis, and was good at all of them 4a.
Nevertheless, here is the litany:
swine flu immunization
In 1976 experts warned that an emerging strain of influenza, known as the "swine flu," had the potential to cause illness on a massive scale that winter. A large public immunization campaign was launched, and a photo was released showing President Ford being immunized by his physician, Dr. William Lukash 10. Interestingly, the photo shows Dr. Lukash not wearing gloves as he administers the shot, unlike standard practice today MORE.
voice strain
The morning after the 1976 election, had lost his voice and was barely able to rasp out words 6i.
election-loss blues
Was not himself after losing the 1976 election. He got agitated when the New York Times asked to interview him for his obituary. His gregariousness changed to reclusiveness. "He's just unbelievably disgusted with himself for losing" according to a friend 6j. The blues lifted after "several weeks" 6h.
facial aging
DeFrank thinks two and a half years as President aged Ford's facial appearance by ten years 6k. By summer 1977, however, a friend enviously griped: "Look at him. He's sixty-four going on fifty, the bastard" 6l. Ford would awaken at 5:30 am as President 6b. Comment: Perhaps lack of sleep has something to do with the appearance of aging.
Weighed 197 pounds in July 1977, two pounds more than his best White House weight 6m.
his routine
His routine as ex-President, circa 1978: Wake up at 6:30 am (without an alarm clock). Twenty minutes of sit-ups and leg lifts aimed at strengthening his football-injured knees. Breakfast was half a honey-dew melon, orange juice, bran flakes with bananas, and English muffin or two. Four days a week he would play golf, and on the other days play doubles tennis (with knee braces). While doing paperwork later in the day (a minimum of eight hours a day, six days a week), he would "usually" nurse a double martini 6n.
knee replacements
Successful left knee replacement in 1990. By August 1991 he walked with a pronounced limp, and reported that his cartilage was "totally gone." The right knee would be replaced later that year 6o.
tore ankle ligament
Circa January 1999. Ford did not know how it happened 6p.
food sensitivities
January 1999: Betty says Ford once "could eat anything. Now he can't" 6q.
tongue abscess
During the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia, Ford appeared "sluggish and sick" on television during a tribute to him. A few hours later, shortly after midnight on Wednesday, August 2, Ford presented to the emergency room at Hahnemann University Hospital, complaining of facial pain. The physician diagnosis was "a sinus attack." Ford stayed only a half-hour, and declined the recommendation to have a CT scan 13.
Upon awakening on Wednesday morning, Ford had new symptoms and returned to the hospital. He apparently had left arm weakness, balance difficulties, and slurred speech 13. A stroke was diagnosed and he was treated with "blood thinners" 13.
The slurred speech, however, was ascribed to a swollen, painful tongue, which proved to be abscessed with actinomycosis. (This is an exceedingly rare cause of a tongue abscess.) The abscess was drained under general anesthesia 12. (It is not clear when the anticoagulants were started, in relation to the abscess drainage.)
Later, a Ford spokesman declared that Ford had developed tongue pain while in Colorado, before Ford departing for the convention 12.
By August 5 Ford was "completely recovered from the stroke" (there were also questions about a possible other strokes) 12. He left the hospital on August 9, still taking antibiotics and blood thinners 9.
The Hahnemann University Hospital was obviously embarassed by missing the diagnosis on the first night, but refused to admit anything. A hospital spokesman said "We do not believe there was any misdiagnosis there." He then shamelessly shifted the blame to the patient, saying "The activities that evening were totally controlled by the President" 13.
August 2000. See discussion above.
dizziness in heat
In 2003 Ford, then 89, was golfing in 96-degree heat in California's Coachella Valley. He became dizzy and was taken to Eisenhower Medical Center for examination 14.
"horrible cold"
Hospitalized mid-December 2005 2.
Hospitalized because of pneumonia on January 14, 2006 for 12 days. He was not afterwards seen in public until April 23. Pictures of Ford on that day show him standing, using a cane. 1
shortness of breath
In July 2006, was hospitalized for two days at the Vail Valley Medical Center (Colorado) because of shortness of breath 1.
pacemaker, coronary angioplasty
In separate procedures during the same hospitalization at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester) in late August 2006, Ford had implantation of a permanent cardiac pacemaker and underwent a two-vessel coronary angioplasty (with stent placement) 3.
hospitalization for tests
In October 2006 was admitted for "medical tests" for five days to Eisenhower Medical Center 11.
undisclosed cause
Ford died on December 26, 2006 at age 93. He lived longer than any President in history. The cause of death has not been disclosed. A clergyman reported that Ford was alert when he attended a religious service on Dec. 16, but was too weak to stand 8. Comment: Ford died four months after his angioplasties and stents (see above), a typical time at which re-stenosis can occur. However, his passing did not appear to be abrupt, which lessens (but does not eliminate) the possibility of coronary artery disease as the cause.

Woodman, spare that tree!
November 6, 2008 - Janet DelTurco
Well, we certainly did not spare that tree. My grandaughter's husband, Tom, came over this afternoon to help me to trim off some dead branches from the redbud and the forsythia which form a hedge along the street side of the vegetable garden. We both started trimming, the only difference between us being that Tom had a saw, loppers and a sledgehammer and axe head, while I waved my pruners rather ineffectually. The redbud was fairly easy, for me at any rate as I mostly watched, then we tackled the forsythia. What a tangled mess. And with about half of the leaves down, it was hard to see what was dead. The more we hacked away the worse it got. I should have taken pictures. Finally, of course, the inevitable. One crooked branch after another, down it all came. And now I have an enormous pile of brush and an empty space. Patrick will be over tomorrow after school, and we will make the first of several journeys to the brush pile with our "stuff". And for a very rare moment I have a space to fill, even though it has a raggedy mess of stumps in the middle. There is an opportunity that doesn't come along very often for me with the crowded conditions here, and I will make the best use of it.

MILAN (AP) - New AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli has been involved in an argument with police after parking illegally on Thursday.
According to reports, Balotelli, who was on his way to collect friends, was told to move his car when he stopped in a no-parking zone in front of Milan's Linate airport.
The Italy striker did so, but then parked again illegally. Balotelli was then fined by the traffic police for not having his insurance documents on him.
Balotelli reacted badly, getting into a heated discussion with them, and passing police had to intervene to calm the situation.
Balotelli returned to Italy last week in a 20 million euros (S$33.84 million) transfer from Manchester City.
He scored both goals in a 2-1 win over Udinese on Sunday.

How Flu Spreads in the Workplace
Staten Island business bank sees merit in understanding transmission risks
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- While Ebola continues to be in the news from West Africa, flu is the major workplace health issue closer to home.
Victory State Bank, Staten Island's only community-based commercial bank, observes that some caveats are saying the common flu disease poses more of a risk to Americans than Ebola.
When it comes to businesses maintaining a healthy workplace, the bank offers that scientific discoveries about contagious flu transmission can be instructive.
To unravel some reasons that winter is prime time for flu, a Virginia Tech researcher has been focusing on miniscule airborne droplets spread by means like sneezing and coughing.
Many cases of the flu are spread by airborne transmission when infected people send thousands of tiny droplets containing mucus, saliva, and viral particles soaring through the air.
The bigger droplets settle on doorknobs, counters and keyboards, a university research report said, but the smallest ones hang in the air, an invisible infectious mist just waiting to be sucked into the lungs of the next victim.
As recovering flu victims struggle back to work and new cases keep cropping up, the university said the question on everyone's mind is: What can people do about it?
Linsey Marr, a professor in the Charles E. Via Jr. Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, wondered why those droplets seemed to cause more infections in the winter.
She focused on one major environmental condition: humidity. Indoor humidity is lower in the winter, when central heating dries out the air.
As the air gets drier, it sucks moisture out of those mucus droplets. As the droplets shrivel and crystallize, the reduction in water increases the concentration of salts and proteins and changes the acidity.
Marr found that between 50 percent and 98 percent humidity, the virus doesn't survive well: the droplets dry out just enough to be inhospitable.
But at very low humidity -- as exists indoors in the winter -- droplets can dry out completely, preserving the virus like microscopic beef jerky, the university explained.
Marr's explorations are continuing. She plans to extend her research on droplet-based disease transmission to another highly infectious virus: Ebola.
Unlike the flu, Ebola is mostly spread by contact, but under "very special circumstances," Marr said — like spray from infected sewage -- droplets flying through the air could spread infection.
Because Ebola's mortality rate is so high, even a low risk of airborne transmission warrants study, the university said.
Separately, the matter of coping and taking preventive steps is the aim of pointers from a physician who is also an author.
Dr. Fred Pescatore of Manhattan, whose website is about populist health and nutrition topics, says it makes sense to worry about influenza, which has been blamed for annual fatality statistics.
In addition, complications of flu -- including bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions -- are also a concern.
For this reason, he notes, the Centers for Disease Control recommends that everyone 6 months of age or older get a flu vaccine every season.
Aside from the obvious steps of washing hands frequently and getting a flu shot, he advocates bolstering immune defenses, because a strong immune system will help stave off whatever infection the body has to confront.
Two of his tips are to reduce sugar intake and to get sufficient sleep.
Sugar, he says, depresses immune function. Research as far back as 1973 shows that when people are administered 20 teaspoons of sugar (as glucose, fructose, sucrose, honey or orange juice), the ability of white blood cells to engulf bacteria declines by 50 percent.
The effect is observable within 30 minutes, he says, and lasts as long as five hours. A few servings of soda, he points out, can add almost as much as those 20 teaspoons.
Sleep is absolutely essential for various body functions, including immunity, he notes. For a recent study volunteers snorted nasal drops that contained a cold-causing virus. Then they were monitored to see how much they slept and who caught a cold.
People who slept less than seven hours a night were nearly three times as likely to get sick as those who got eight hours or more, he says.
Likewise, another study found that folks who were restricted to getting four hours of sleep nightly for six nights before receiving a flu vaccine only made half the amount of antibodies as normal.

ATHENS, Alabama - A Limestone County Circuit Court judge denied bail today for a man accused in the September shooting death of 26-year-old Brandon Hydrick.
An attorney for Joel Moyers, 52, of Cullman, requested bail after District Attorney Brian Jones decided earlier this month not to seek the death penalty in the case. Jones said he discussed the issue with Hydrick's family before making his decision.
Moyers was indicted in December on charges of capital murder, reckless murder, intentionally shooting into an occupied vehicle and recklessly shooting into an occupied vehicle. Before he could be arrested, Moyers took an overdose of pills and was in intensive care in Cullman for five days before being transferred to Limestone County Jail, where he remains.
In his ruling on the bail request, Judge Jimmy Woodroof wrote: "The court has conducted a hearing on said request and considered the charges and reviewed the evidence of said charges. Count one of a four-count indictment charges capital murder. It is the finding of the court that motion to set bond is hereby denied. The defendant shall continue to be held without the benefit of bail."
Moyers will remain in jail until trial, when he will face life in prison if convicted.
He was initially arrested following the Sept. 29 shooting of Hydrick, who had recently moved to Limestone County and was riding in a pickup truck with his brother, Ryan Hydrick, 25, of Harvest when Brandon was struck and killed by a round from a semi-automatic weapon, Limestone County authorities said.
The shooting occurred at about 3 a.m. on Fennel Road in rural Limestone County. The brothers recently left a cookout at the home of Brandon's girlfriend's family.
Moyers, who was living at the time in a mobile home on Fennel Road owned by his mother, told investigators that night that he fired a warning shot into the air because the young men were acting suspiciously. However, authorities said the bullet entered the tailgate of Ryan Hydrick's truck, went through the seats and struck Brandon, who was in the passenger seat.

DOUBLE DUTY World Team men s freestyle coach Duroe brings wealth of experience to Cornell CollegeWhen the wrestling coaching position came open last year at Cornell College, Mike Duroe initially never really gave it much thought.
Until his next-door neighbor came knocking.
When your neighbor is Dan Gable, you tend to listen.
Gable encouraged his close friend to consider taking the position and Duroe ultimately was glad he did.
The 50-year-old Duroe, who will coach the United States men's freestyle team at the World Championships this September for the second straight year, was encouraged by the progress his Cornell team made during the 2005-06 season.
Duroe led the NCAA Division III Rams to a school-record 15 dual victories and coached the school's first All-American in five years during his first campaign in Mount Vernon, Iowa. Last week, Duroe shed the interim head coach label and was named Cornell's full-time wrestling coach.
"I'm very excited about the future of this program," Duroe said. "My goal the first year was to get those guys believing in themselves and get them better technically. We accomplished both of those goals."
Duroe brings a tremendous amount of experience coaching at the highest levels of international wrestling to his new assignment at a small college in Iowa.
While busy with recruiting and numerous other duties at Cornell, Duroe has kept close tabs on the progress of the U.S. freestyle team. The team worked out for three days between sessions of the NCAA Championships in Oklahoma City.
Duroe ran one practice while National Freestyle Coach Kevin Jackson and Freestyle Resident Coach Terry Brands ran the other two. The coaches worked closely together with the dozens of top athletes training at these popular workouts.
Those coaches will lead the U.S. freestyle team into the World Championships in Guangzhou, China, on Sept. 26-Oct. 2.
"I'm really excited about this team," Duroe said. "These guys are very hungry and very motivated to do well in China. I think we have a chance to do very well over there."
Team USA is coming off an eighth-place finish in freestyle at the 2005 World Championships, bringing home only two medals. Joe Williams (74 kg/163 lbs.) and Tolly Thompson (120 kg/264.5 lbs.) each won bronze medals in Budapest.
"Eighth place is unacceptable for our coaches, our athletes and the USA in general," Duroe said. "We had a heart-to-heart talk with the World Team guys about what it was going to take for us to move up and get back to where we should be."
Duroe said he was encouraged by the performance by the Americans at a recent tournament in Uzbekistan. 2000 Olympic silver medalist Sammie Henson (55 kg/121 lbs.) beat an Olympic champion and World champion in that meet. Henson, 35, is wrestling well as are fellow 30-somethings in Williams and Thompson.
"It's encouraging to see guys like that still competing and having success," Duroe said. "A lot of our top guys are getting out too early. We need to keep our top guys in the sport longer. And make it more worthwhile for them to keep competing when they are still good enough to be winning medals on the World and Olympic levels."
Duroe said he talked with Cornell officials last fall about the coaching vacancy on the day before he left for the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
"They talked to me for three or four hours the day before I left," he said. "I told them if they could find a good coach when I was gone to hire him. They didn't find one when I was gone, so I became the interim coach."
Once Duroe returned to the States, he then scrambled with a short window of time to prepare his new team at Cornell for the collegiate season.
"We made good progress considering when I got there we only had 4½ weeks to get ready for our first dual against Simpson," he said. "Simpson was ranked in the top 20 and we beat them in a close match, so that was encouraging. Then we wrestled another nationally ranked team, Augustana, and it came down to the last match and we lost by one point. That was pretty exciting, to start the season like that."
The Rams finished eighth in the rugged Iowa Conference meet and qualified two wrestlers for nationals.
"The Iowa Conference is a son of a gun and it's unbelievably competitive," Duroe said. "You have established programs like Wartburg, Luther and Loras that are top five programs nationally. Our conference tournament is like a mini-NCAA tournament. We got clobbered a little bit, but we're young and we have to learn from that experience."
Cornell sophomore 125-pounder Chris Heilman became the school's first All-American since 2001 when placed seventh at the NCAA Division III meet in early March.
"Coach Duroe came in here and took charge - he had an immediate impact," Heilman said. "He definitely knows what he's talking about. He really helped me with my technique as far as finishing my shots and getting out from on bottom. He also has helped me tremendously with the mental aspect of the sport and taught me to believe in myself.
"We're really excited about the direction he has this program headed. I think he's a great coach."
Duroe, a native of Charles City, Iowa, compiled a 82-27 record at Northern Michigan from 1980-85. He then spent two years running the Northwestern Wildcat Wrestling Club before coaching at New Trier (Ill.) High School from 1986-98.
Duroe was the Freestyle Developmental Coach and Freestyle Resident Coach for USA Wrestling from 1998-2001. One of his assignments at the time was the women's freestyle program, and the U.S. women's team won the World title under his guidance in 1999.
Duroe served as the head assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania from 2001-03. He has been the head coach of the Iowa Hawkeye Wrestling Club since 2003.
Cornell has a very young team with 20 wrestlers - eight sophomores and 12 freshmen - from this year's final roster expected to return.
"We would like to build our numbers to 30-35 kids in the room to establish some depth and provide more competition in the room," Duroe said. "We're working very hard in recruiting to attract some more talent. To be a consistent contender you have to get kids you can develop."
The Rams graduated just two seniors and had no juniors on the 2005-06 squad.
"We're thrilled that Coach Duroe is staying at Cornell," Cornell Athletic Director Tina Hill said. "He has been a terrific role model for our student-athletes and a tremendous asset for our athletic program. With his leadership we see great things on the horizon for our wrestling program."
Wrestling competitively outside the college season will be a priority in the coming months.
"You will see Cornell kids wrestling in some of our national events," Duroe said. "We have kids aspiring to go to University Nationals. That's great because going to tournaments like that is a real essential part of taking this program to another level."
Duroe admits trying to lure recruits to a Division III school, where athletic scholarships are not permitted, can be challenging. So is trying to persuade a young man to go to school in a rural college town of just under 4,000 residents.
Gaining admission to Cornell, a top academic school, also is more difficult than gaining entry to other DIII institutions. Cornell offers a unique one-course-at-a-time curriculum. It's the only school in the country that offers wrestling and also operates with that form of study.
"Cornell is a great academic school and a very unique school with a lot to offer," Duroe said. "Recruiting in Division III is crazy. We're talking to some really, really good kids, but then we've already lost some of those to Division I schools. Plus we're talking to some of the same kids that Wartburg is. We have to play the waiting game a little bit because we have to wait and see how Division I signings go."
Wartburg College is the current king of Division III wrestling and is in the same state and same conference as Cornell. The Knights won the national title this year.
"(Wartburg coach) Jim Miller has set the gold standard in Division III wrestling," Duroe said. "They've been on top for a while now and there's no sign of letting up."
Gable, the 1972 Olympic gold medalist who coached Iowa to 15 NCAA titles and 21 Big Ten titles in 21 years with the Hawkeyes, has been a fixture at Cornell home meets. Duroe lives across the street from Gable in Iowa City.
During the Cornell-Coe dual this past season, Gable was there to support Duroe along with Olympic bronze medalist Lincoln McIlravy, former Iowa NCAA champion Mark Ironside and current Hawkeye Matt Fields.
"Dan and I are great friends," Duroe said. "He's just a tremendous resource for me - he's been unbelievable. I bounce a lot of ideas off him. He kind of nudged me to look at Cornell, and he thought it would be a good challenge for me. It's been a great experience so far. We've got a long way to go, but I've got a lot of energy and a lot of fire in me.

I still love the Tea Party, but I have quit it. Since February of 2010, Northern IL Tea Party has been part of the movement to restore the limits on government envisioned by our Founding Fathers. We have served the communities of Rockton, Roscoe and South Beloit and meet at 6:30 pm on the third Thursday of the month at the Greater Rockton Community Center, 302 W. Main Street.
Our First Thursday Movie Night, a fixture for 2 years, will be discontinued. We need to get "lean and mean" for the task ahead, educating the public and fighting for term limits in the Illinois legislature. Leaders in the Tea Party learn that the effort is all-consuming. Your family suffers. Still, we do the job, knowing that the lives of our children and grandchildren will be forever altered if we fail to restrain gargantuan government. Obamacare is only the most "in your face" example of that reality.
This Thursday at 6:30, Michael Kalthoff, author of "Saving Private Healthcare: Before the Collapse" will address us. I will attend that meeting as a member, no longer a leader. Fight on, Tea Party!

Anticipating major flooding in Uptown New Orleans, Children's Hospital on Sunday night started moving patients and departments off the first floor.
"We're moving all our patients up to the second through sixth floors, " said Medical Director Alan Robson. "The generators are on the second floor, and we've got enough fuel to last us two or three weeks ... I am told the hospital is five feet above sea level, and we're calculating that if there's a wall of water like they are predicting, that we can survive."
The vertical evacuation started Sunday evening, as part of a plan that has been tweaked for years after each hurricane or hurricane threat, Robson said. Staff moved equipment from the hospital's operating rooms and laboratories to temporary quarters on the second floor.
Starting yesterday, the hospital started matching staff with patient needs, making sure to have at least one doctor of every specialty, Robson said.
"We tried to discharge as many patients as could be discharged before the storm, " Robson said. "The rest, we'll be giving them the care they need. If that means surgery, we can do that."
The 200-bed hospital had about 100 patients as the storm approached.

The 2012 Telework Exchange Tele-Vision Award recipients were honored at an awards ceremony on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
The awards recognize excellence in government telework programs and their accomplishments in the following categories:
Below please find the 2012 award recipients:
Federal Telework Program Honorable Mention
Organization: Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Program: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Telework Program, "The Telework Advantage"
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Telework Program was launched in November 2009, facing the challenge of modifying CBP business processes and adapting telework to the organization's traditional law enforcement culture. To do so, the CBP Office of Human Resources Management launched a CBP Telework Program Awareness Campaign Initiative focused on overcoming managerial resistance to telework by providing information and training to supervisors and managers on proven ways to operate within a virtual workplace.
As a result of its comprehensive efforts to introduce telework to the CBP ranks, the last two years have delivered a more than 2,000 percent increase in telework participation. In the past year alone, telework engagement by CBP employees has increased by 37.5 percent, with a total of over 3200 eligible employees participating in the telework program – up from the initial 134 approved telework agreements in place before the awareness campaign.
To encourage broader participation, a Telework Program Resource website was developed as a one-stop resource center for staff, including links to the CBP Telework Program Agreement package, Frequently Asked Questions, internal and external policies and guidance, a telework blog, and tool kits for employees, supervisors, and managers. CBP also launched a series of telework program podcasts, entitled "The Telework Advantage," which address general information on the organization's growing telework program, manager roles and responsibilities, and CBP successes in its first year of implementation. CBP also created a dedicated email inbox for telework-related inquiries and employees were given credit for taking telework training courses. As a result, CBP has verified more than 4,800 employees, supervisors, and managers have taken the OPM Telework 101 training courses to date.
CBP also has incorporated telework into its strategy for continuity of operations. Designated employees are equipped to telework in the event of an emergency and are encouraged to telework on a regular basis to ensure preparedness when needed.
In a recent survey, 83 percent of managers and 95 percent of non-supervisory employees reported an overall positive opinion of the CBP telework program.
CBP has focused its efforts over the past year to expand telework participation by enlisting executive leadership support, consistent internal marketing, and open union engagement. These actions have combined to make the organization more flexible, prepared, and to serve as a model for telework implementation for other Federal law enforcement agencies.
Excellence in Telework Leadership
Organization: U.S. Department of Agriculture
Program: USDA Telework Program
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Telework Program is an integral component of Secretary Tom Vilsack's commitment to Cultural Transformation across the department by enhancing recruitment and retention of top talent while increasing employee job satisfaction and productivity, as well as workplace diversity and inclusion. This vision and executive leadership support has enabled the USDA to revamp its telework program during 2011 and meet the requirements of the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010.
The number of USDA employees eligible to participate in telework now stands at 76 percent – up from just 15 percent reported in 2010. In this current fiscal climate characterized by limited agency resources, telework plays a vital role in reducing the employee transit subsidies, as well as real estate and utilities costs. USDA has saved an estimated $2 million in upfront funding for its Transit Subsidy Program, based in large part on projected telework participation rates and program goals.
Employee satisfaction is reflected in the positive ratings USDA received in the2011 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey recently published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Telework was the most improved area according to USDA employees, and telework positively impacted USDA's higher scores in several other survey questions. Telework also provides tangible public benefits by reducing the use of limited fossil fuel resources, which in turn reduces the level of dangerous vehicular emissions and traffic congestion, while simultaneously improving air quality.
USDA began 2012 with a new commitment to "Turbo-Charge" telework. The department leveraged Telework Week with more than 7,500 pledges collectively saving $1 million in commuting costs and reducing utility usage in its Headquarter building by 100 to 200 kilowatt hours, equivalent to the amount of power that 50 to 100 homes would use in a week.
A new series of monthly webinars entitled, Let's Talk Telework! was launched in January to help overcome common myths and misperceptions about telework, and more than 800 employees have already participated.
Telework provides a flexible workplace alternative that enables USDA employees to balance their commitment to work, family, and community, resulting in a marked change to the agency culture. The significant upswing in telework participation prompted the Telework Exchange Tele-Vision Award judges to note that, "USDA has shown innovation and leadership in its approach to telework," and "the agency should be proud of its monumental growth in eligibility. This program has it all."
Innovative Technology to Support Telework
Organization: U.S. General Services Administration, Office of the Chief Information Officer
Program: The A3 (Any Device, Anywhere, Anytime) Strategy
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) established the A3 (Any Device, Anywhere, Anytime) Strategy to improve its organizational mobility. The initiative allows the agency to migrate to a mobile information technology solution, freeing employees to telework by replacing desktop computers with portable devices, including laptops, smart phones, and tablets. The technology shift provides GSA employees with secure remote access to email, network resources, and collaboration tools from outside the agency's firewall.
The A3 Strategy has enabled GSA to offer its workforce a landmark telework agreement that serves as a teleworking blueprint for the entire Federal government. The revised GSA approach turns the tables on past policies where telework eligibility was afforded only to some approved staff members. The new agreement creates a secure telework solution that reduces overhead costs – benefiting everyone from government IT managers to agency employees and taxpayers. For example, the A3 Strategy significantly reduces electricity costs in government buildings, reducing facility carbon footprints and energy consumption. Initial cost savings are in excess of $400,000 for GSA alone. Upon rollout to other government agencies, the anticipated return on investment is expected to be measured in billions of dollars.
GSA has become a flagship agency for telework vision through the deployment of its A3 Strategy. The biggest end-user impact is the ability to use any mobile device of their choosing. Previously, GSA employees were limited in their choice of devices and mobile applications. Now, GSA team members can choose from a variety of smart phones and tablets to perform their assignments. The objective is to enable effective customer service that delivers employees with seamless, trusted access to GSA-approved applications from any mobile device. To do this, GSA employed Fiberlink's MaaS360 Mobile Device Management platform to secure, manage, track inventory, and monitor devices from a cloud-based console. In this instance, GSA found the MaaS360 platform met the critical needs for each device, including patching software for laptops and safeguarding smart phones and tablets that can easily be lost or stolen.
The A3 Strategy sets the bar for improving sustainable government operations set forth by the White House's mandate to work toward a zero-environmental footprint. By powering-down unused machines and moving teleworkers out of government facilities and into the field, the A3 Strategy directly supports savings in enterprise energy use and costs.
Largest Leap in Telework
Organization: U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Management Directorate, Office of the Chief Administrative Officer
Program: DHS OCAO Enhanced Telework Program
The Office of the Chief Administrative Officer (OCAO) Telework Program began with a 2009 pilot where 75 participants received in-depth training and were provided with technology to support working remotely. Performance metrics were assessed through pre- and post-implementation surveys and progress was monitored through focus groups enabling the identification and resolution of challenges along the way. The results of the pilot paved the way for a permanent, expanded telework program for the DHS OCAO staff.
In the past year, telework has expanded rapidly throughout the OCAO. All 143 employees currently participate in telework at varying levels of frequency – with more than half teleworking at least 50 percent of the time. This program has resulted in reallocation of rented space and avoidance of more than $970,000 in facility costs over the past 12 months alone.
Despite initial concerns about telework by some management staff, the methodical approach taken by the organizations has led to some rather startling achievements that in turn, should help to advance telework across other government agencies:
In addition, more than two-thirds of the OCAO management team reported that retention of staff has improved and telework has been an excellent recruitment tool for highly qualified candidates.
OCAO teleworkers save an average of 14 hours each month and 206 miles of travel by not commuting to the office every day – a 100 percent increase over the prior year. Overall, OCAO staff estimate an average savings in commuting costs of $132 per month, per person.
The teleworkers who drive save $45,507 in fuel costs per year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 113 metric tons. Those who commute by commuter rail and Metrorail reduce CO2 emissions by nearly 60 metric tons.
The DHS OCAO Enhanced Telework Program is a truly exceptional example of how a Federal telework initiative that is carefully planned, executed, and administered can ensure long-term success and measurable benefits in a challenging, law enforcement environment.
State and Local Government Telework Program
Organization: Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries
Program: Continuity of Operations
Recognizing the importance of continuity of operations (COOP), the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) is focused on achieving excellence in their COOP program. The COOP program incorporates telework as an essential component, enabling the agency to carry on mission-critical functions in an emergency situation, regardless of employees' location. The COOP program brings together a cross-functional team to maintain continuity during emergency situations and allows the agency to successfully meet the objectives required by the Governor's Executive Order 41, which outlines state government preparedness initiatives.
In 2011, the COOP program received a score of 100 percent after four years of steady improvement. In the assessment, DGIF's COOP was cited as a best practice model to be followed by other state agencies with language that is detailed, well-organized, and easy to follow. Following this success other Virginia state agencies contacted DGIF to support their COOP development efforts, including the Department of Health, Department of General Services, Department of Health Professions, Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the Virginia Information Technologies Agency. This success has established the DGIF COOP program as the best of the best and reinforces the leadership, collaboration, and communication that are core mission values of the COOP team.
As a result of the COOP program success and the demonstrated value of telework, DGIF executive leadership embraced agency-wide telework participation and supported a DGIF telework workshop led by Verizon Wireless that included more than 100 DGIF employees. Through its vigorous and public commitment to telework, the DGIF senior management team has successfully enabled more streamlined operations and broader adoption of telework agency-wide.
Mid-Atlantic Telework Advisory Council (MATAC) Telework Driver Award
Honorees: William P. Milton Jr. and Mika J. Cross
Organization: U.S. Department of Agriculture
As the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Telework Managing Officer and Telework Program Manager, respectively, William Milton Jr. and Mika Cross have been key drivers in the department-wide Telework Program, displaying tireless passion and commitment to ensure its growth and success.
The team has led a grassroots effort to promote the program nationwide, resulting in an impressive upswing in the number of teleworkers participating in the program – and perhaps more importantly, a change in the attitudes of agency management who now welcome telework and understand its benefits to the USDA and its workforce.
In the past year, these two drivers have revamped the telework program by:
In addition to these accomplishments, the honorees developed a "Turbo-Charge" telework campaign, which featured a series of monthly online telework workshops, surveys to share telework perceptions and attitudes, and active participation in Telework Exchange's 2012 Telework Week. More than 7,500 USDA employees pledged to telework during the week-long campaign – a significant increase from 600 pledges in the prior year.
Thanks to the vision of these two individuals, USDA was asked to join OPM's Inter-Agency Telework Advisory Group to consult on policy guidance, implementation strategies, and leveraging best practices for implementation across the Federal government.
The significant accomplishments under the leadership and inspiration of Mr. Milton and Ms. Cross have led USDA to emerge as a model for powering telework progress in large, geographically-dispersed Federal government enterprises. It is only with the tenacity demonstrated by these professionals that public sector organizations can and are changing for the better their workforce cultures and business results.

The Charlotte Checkers scored the final three goals of the game on Friday night to hand the Peoria Rivermen a 4-2 loss at Time Warner Cable Arena. Goaltender Mike McKenna faced a 43-shot barrage and turned in a solid 39-save performance in just his second start of the year.
The loss increased Peoria's winless streak to six games (0-4-1-1) and dropped their overall record to 2-6-2-1 to start the season.
T.J Hensick turned in his second straight multi-point night by adding two more assists to the three he collected on Thursday against the Checkers while Derek Nesbitt scored for the second time in as many games.
Taylor Chorney's first goal of the season, setup by Hensick, opened the scoring at 11:25 of the first period with the Rivermen on a two-man advantage. His slapshot from just inside the blueline found its way under the blocker of Dan Ellis and into the net for Peoria's second power-play goal of the weekend.
McKenna held his ground in the remainder of the period including two stops in the closing seconds of the frame against Riley Nash on a shorthanded breakaway.
Charlotte scored three times in the second period to take over the lead for good. Zach Boychuk buried his ninth goal of the season at 8:52 just as time expired on a lengthy Checkers' power play. The tie game lasted just 13 seconds as Derek Nesbitt stole the puck and pushed a backhand through the pads of Ellis to give Peoria back a 2-1 lead.
Chris Terry scored twice, once on the power-play, in 3:55 to give Charlotte back the lead at 3-2 to start the third period.
In the third, Charlotte's Justin Faulk netted his third of the season at 5:16 to finish off the Rivermen 4-2.
Both teams finished the game 1-for-3 on the power play while Ellis made 22 saves for the win. McKenna falls to 0-2-0-0 on the season despite his 39 saves on 43 shots.
Peoria hosts the Grand Rapids Griffins (Detroit Red Wings) on Saturday at 7:05 p.m. The first 2,500 fans in attendance will receive a Rivermen hat courtesy of OSF Medical Center. For more tickets call 309-676-1040.

Using XNA for Developing Windows Phone Games

When talking about developing applications for the new Windows Phone platform, we usually focus on Silverlight. There is, however, another programming model for developing Windows Phone applications, and that's XNA—a special programming model based on .NET that is specifically designed for developing games, or other applications that need pixel level access to the screen. Like Silverlight, you can use XNA to develop either phone or desktop applications; unlike Silverlight, however, XNA can also be used for developing games for Xbox360.
At the recent PDC10, Shawn Hargreaves held a seminar on "Things You Need to Know Before Building XNA Games for Windows Phone 7." In this episode, Shawn give us an introduction about XNA development for the Phone, and hopefully helps you see how you might be able to develop the next blockbuster game on Windows Phone 7.
You can see Shawn's full PDC10 presentation here:
Shawn also has a blog, which you can access here:
And you can get more news and details about XNA development here:
Oops, something didn't work.
You can't do the Blood and Gore Game due to the fact it will not pass the Market Place Testing.
One Big hint to anyone developing for the Phone, make sure to read the Application Requirements Documentation.
I'm cleaning up this demo: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/wp7trainingcourse_gamedevelopmentwithxnalab.aspx
So that it actually is something that will pass Marketplace Testing, is it possible to provide the bits when I'm finished as an update to the Exercise?
My hope that it will benefit Developers that are trying to get games into the Marketplace by being able to see how to handle the Hardware buttons and Requirements that weren't followed during the aforementioned demo

Camden County officials formally began the hiring process Monday for a controversial regional police force that would replace the Camden Police Department.
The announcement came less than two weeks after the state Civil Service Commission granted the new force a temporary waiver from strict hiring rules, allowing the county to opt out for 12 months so it can more quickly fill its ranks.
"We want the best and brightest officers to police our streets and be a part of this groundbreaking organization that will fundamentally change the public safety paradigm in the region," Camden County Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli said in a statement.

Brown Sugar Oat Muffins RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup 2% milk
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
Reviews for Brown Sugar Oat Muffins
"Great muffin. Hardy texture. I added pumpkin pie spice. Perfect without butter, jam or anything."
"Good muffin that is not too sweet."
"I was looking for a base recipe for oatmeal muffins and this one is perfect! I added in 1-1/2 cups of chopped apples that were mixed with cinnamon and sugar. I also added a streusel to the top, made of flour, brown sugar and butter. The muffins baked up perfectly, they're soft, and taste wonderful. Great recipe!"
"Make these often for my family. Men tend to like the heartiness of these muffins, I've found."
"These muffins are nice to serve with jam as a breakfast treat. They also make a nice after school snack. They freeze well too."
"Delicious! Perfect breakfast muffins."
"Great mild oat muffin! I don't feel like I'm serving cupcakes for breakfast! : ) Entire family loves them warm out of the oven and we even renamed these- "Mommy's Good Morning Muffins""
"I also forgot to add to my last review that I also substituted organic coconut oil (melted) instead of the canola oil.. and they were very light and much healthier for my family. :)"
"I thought that these turned out wonderful! I used organic whole wheat flour and instead of just using vanilla extract, I used 3/4 tsp almond extract & 1/4 tsp vanilla. They turned out so flavorful and even my picky eaters begged for seconds! Because I am a busy mom of four, I mixed up the dry ingredients the night before and just added the wet ingredients the next morning. I am also going to make several more batches of the dry ingredients, package and label them for future breakfast.. so that all I have to do is pull out the bag, add the extract, milk and fresh eggs and breakfast is served!! :)"
