• A new insulating material (Thinsulate) was used to provide thermal protection for newborn infants. Infant core temperature was measured as part of a randomized study comparing the efficacy of an insulated bunting, an insulated hat, and routine management. The new bunting was superior in terms of its ability to maintain the infant's core temperature on arrival in the regular nursery. Nursing staff and parental acceptance was high, and further consideration should be given to defining the role of this new insulating material in the care of the newborn.

YOUNGSTOWN – Residents are asked to help share the holiday spirit with those less fortunate by contributing to the decades-old tradition of the Youngstown Christmas Baskets, to be delivered this year to nearly 50 needy individuals and families in Youngstown and Porter.
Members of Boy Scout Troop 829 and Cub Scout Pack 829 will canvass the village beginning at 2 p.m. next Sunday to collect canned goods and nonperishables, including pasta, peanut butter and oatmeal, for the food baskets. Donors are asked to leave canned goods (with ample expiration dates) in plastic bags on their front steps to be picked up by the Scouts. The Scouts will canvass the neighborhoods in the Village of Youngstown, Youngstown Estates and the Collingwood subdivision.
In addition, the Scouts will pick up any new, unwrapped hats, gloves, mittens or other clothing, toys or books to be added to the Christmas baskets for area children.
The Scouts will then deposit the collected goods at the village municipal building to be sorted and packaged by volunteers the following week. Volunteers will deliver the food items and gifts to homes Dec. 15.
William Baird, of Boy Scout Troop 829, said the Scouts generally collect "around 2,200 items" for the baskets each year.
"This has been going on as long as I remember, and the Scouts have been involved at least 20 years," Baird said. "You see the need for this in the inner cities, and you don't see it as much out here [in the suburbs], because it's not as visible, but the need is here."
Organizer Margaret-Ann "Peggy" Hanson said the idea started more than two decades ago with the Youngstown Civic Guild, which, she recalled, in her first year with the group put together four baskets to deliver to needy residents.
"It's just grown over the years," she said. "I'm always amazed at how well it all comes together. We deliver around 50 baskets a year now."
Hanson collects the names of those in need. She calls people who received baskets last year to see if they still need help and collects names from other sources, such as local schools. It is all kept confidential.
Hanson said anyone in need of help this Christmas, or anyone with the name of someone in need, may call her before Dec. 11 at 745-7285.
Members from every corner of this small community contribute to the cause – from the area churches to civic and community groups, including the Youngstown Lions Club, Ransomville Lions Club, Youngstown Study Group, the Women's Club and the Garden Club. In addition, the Youngstown Recreation Department, Department of Public Works and Youngstown Free Library help, as do students and staff (including retired teachers) from the Lewiston-Porter school district. The Sevenson Corp. and Chemical Waste Management also contribute.
More than 50 volunteers collect, sort, wrap and deliver the goods each year, Hanson said.

Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster by Jon Krakauer: "A bank of clouds was assembling on the not-so-distant horizon, but journalist-mountaineer Jon Krakauer, standing on the summit of Mt. Everest, saw nothing that 'suggested that a murderous storm was bearing down.' He was wrong. The storm, which claimed five lives and left countless more--including Krakauer's--in guilt-ridden disarray, would also provide the impetus for Into Thin Air, Krakauer's epic account of the May 1996 disaster."

Adrift: Seventy-six days lost at sea by Steven Callahan
The author recalls his seventy-six day ordeal adrift in the Atlantic Ocean in a five foot inflatable raft, after the sinking of his sailboat, recounting his problems surviving the weather, shark attacks, raft leaks, and food and water shortages.
Alive: The story of the Andes survivors by Piers Paul Read
On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the forty-five original passengers and crew, only sixteen made it off the mountain alive. For ten excruciating weeks they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, they were forced to do what would have once been unthinkable ... This is their story -- one of the most astonishing true adventures of the twentieth century. (amazon.com)
The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest by Anatoli Boukreev and G. Weston DeWalt
The Climb is an exhilarating account of mountaineering and a sobering, cautionary tale of hubris in the face of unforgiving nature.
The Darkest Jungle: the true story of the Darién expedition and America's ill-fated race to connect the seas by Todd Balf
In the 1850s, the world's foremost scientists, capitalists, and statesmen saw the Darien wilderness in eastern Panama as the perfect spot to build a great canal linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Ships from three continents raced to this largely unexplored region, but the twenty-seven-man U.S. Darien Exploring Expedition, led by an ambitious, adventure-driven navy lieutenant named Isaac G. Strain, made sure it got there first. Misled by fraudulent maps and unable to find any "gap" amid the mass of precipitous peaks, the expedition marched the untracked course of the isthmus's longest and most contorted river, enduring oppressive equatorial heat and a terrifying catalogue of often bewildering tropical maladies. Their ninety-seven-day ordeal of starvation, exhaustion, and madness -- a tragedy turned largely to triumph due to the courage and self-sacrifice of their leader and the seamen who followed him devotedly is one of the great untold tales of human survival and exploration in the tropics. (Book jacket)
The Perfect Storm: A true story of men against the sea by Sebastian Junger
October 1991. It was "the perfect storm"--a tempest that may happen only once in a century--a nor'easter created by so rare a combination of factors that it could not possibly have been worse. Creating waves ten stories high and winds of 120 miles an hour, the storm whipped the sea to inconceivable levels few people on Earth have ever witnessed. Few, except the six-man crew of the Andrea Gail, a commercial fishing boat tragically headed towards its hellish center.
Skeletons of the Zahara by Dean King
"When the American cargo ship Commerce ran aground on the northwestern shores of Africa in 1815 along with its crew of 12 Connecticut-based sailors, the misfortunes that befell them came fast and hard, from enslavement to reality-bending bouts of dehydration. King's aggressively researched account of the crew's once-famous ordeal reads like historical fiction, with unbelievable stories of the seamen's endurance of heat stroke, starvation and cruelty by their Saharan slavers"--Publishers Weekly.
Survivors: true tales of endurance edited by John B. Letterman
Short vignettes of some of the classic survival stories.
Touching the Void by Joe Simpson
Joe Simpson and his climbing partner, Simon Yates, had just reached the top of a 21,000-foot peak in the Andes when disaster struck. Simpson plunged off the vertical face of an ice ledge, breaking his leg. In the hours that followed, darkness fell and a blizzard raged as Yates tried to lower his friend to safety. Finally, Yates was forced to cut the rope, moments before he would have been pulled to his own death. The next three days were an impossibly grueling ordeal for both men. Yates, certain that Simpson was dead, returned to base camp consumed with grief and guilt over abandoning him. Miraculously, Simpson had survived the fall, but crippled, starving, and severely frostbitten was trapped in a deep crevasse. Summoning vast reserves of physical and spiritual strength, Simpson crawled over the cliffs and canyons of the Andes, reaching base camp hours before Yates had planned to leave. How both men overcame the torments of those harrowing days is an epic tale of fear, suffering, and survival, and a poignant testament to unshakable courage and friendship.
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared--Lt. Louis Zamperini. Captured by the Japanese and driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor.
We die alone by David Howarth
This 1955 volume is one of the most remarkable survival stories ever written. Jan Baalsrud was the only survivor of a Norwegian commando team ambushed by the Nazis during World War II. Wounded and with the Germans in pursuit, Baalsrud escaped and miraculously fought his way through the Norwegian tundra to a distant village, where he was saved by locals who helped spirit him to Sweden. Baalsrud suffered frostbite and snowblindness, came through an avalanche, and lived to tell the tale. (Library Journal)

Copenhagen - Mark Cavendish added another significant line to his remarkable list of honours when he ended a 46-year wait for a British men's world road race title on Sunday.
Barely minutes after his latest exploit, the 26-year-old from the Isle of Man was talking up his chances of becoming Olympic champion at London in 2012.
With 20 Tour de France stage wins, and his first green jersey for the race's points competition in 2011, Cavendish has played a major role in putting Britain on the world cycling map in the past five years.
Yet he went one step better when he became only the second Briton, and the first since Tom Simpson in 1965, to pull on the famous rainbow stripes.
As a sprint specialist, Cavendish does not have the physical capacities to win a tough endurance test like the Tour de France yellow jersey.
But he believes he has won the next best thing.
"At the start of the season I said I had two goals: the green jersey, and the rainbow stripes," said Cavendish, who beat his Australian team-mate at HTC-Highroad, Matthew Goss, into second after the 260km race.
"I can't win the yellow jersey at the Tour de France, so this is the next best thing for me.
"In terms of professional cycling, you can't get anything better than winning the rainbow jersey. Now I get to wear the rainbow bands for the next year."
He added: "The Olympics is different, because you've only got five riders and the course next year will be more difficult than here.
"But I'm going to prepare as best as I can for it."
Cavendish's bid for gold at the worlds last year in Geelong ended prematurely when he appeared to have been mis-informed about the profile of the hilly Australian course.
But where last year he had only a few support riders, this year's road race course presented just too good an opportunity to miss for the British team.
It was mainly flat, and - if his team was able to get their tactics right - likely to end in the kind of bunch sprint Cavendish adores.
"We knew three years ago when this course was announced, we put a plan together to put these best guys together," explained Cavendish.
British riders throughout the peloton have since worked tirelessly for the results and rankings points that would allow Britain to qualify more riders for the world championships.
On the day the eight-man team were committed to keeping Cavendish protected and out of the wind and protected all day long, before the fast pace-setting of David Millar and Bradley Wiggins played a decisive role in tiring rivals in the final laps.
From then on Cavendish counted on Welshman Geraint Thomas and Ian Standard for support on the home straight.
But he was quick to share out the plaudits.
"We had eight of the best guys in the world. It was incredible, we took it on from start to finish," said Cavendish.
"Bradley Wiggins, he probably rode the whole of the last lap on his own.
"They all rode out their skins today. It's a shame they can't wear the world champion's jersey as well. I've won the jersey, but I just put the finishing touches to the mission."

Hamas Admits Kidnapping Israeli Teens
By AP
Published: 22nd August 2014 12:17 AM
Last Updated: 22nd August 2014 12:17 AM
JERUSALEM — A senior Hamas leader says the group was behind the kidnapping and killing of three Israeliteens in the West Bank in June — the first time anyone from the Islamic militant group has said it was behind an attack that helped spark the current war in the Gaza Strip.
Salah Arouri told a conference in Turkey on Wednesday that Hamas carried out the kidnapping with the broader goal of sparking a new Palestinian uprising. "It was an operation by your brothers from the al-Qassam Brigades," he said, referring to Hamas' military wing.
Hamas has repeatedly praised the kidnappings, but Arouri, the group's exiled West Bank leader, is the first member to claim responsibility.
The kidnapping sparked an Israeli crackdown and chain of events culminating in the current war.

Sammy Cahn, Vernon Duke, and Earl Zindars
Sammy Cahn
Few songwriters are able to weave such picturesque lyrics into a melody like Sammy Cahn. Many of his songs are played within certain circles, and yet his name is hardly spoken among uninterested virtuosos. Songs like "I Should Care," "Teach Me Tonight," "All the Way," and "The Things We Did Last Summer" proved that Sammy Cahn was a musical architect.
In the early 1920s skinny young Sammy Cohen, clad in thick-lensed specs, had no interest in academic practices. He would skip school to catch local vaudevillian shows. As a child, he began playing the violin, and soon he found himself playing on the same vaudevillian stages of his childhood. It was on a night, when a fellow musician in the vaudeville band introduced a self-written song, that Cahn's career would begin. Young Sammy became transfixed with the craft of songwriting, on that very night, and had written his first song before he arrived back home.
Later in his career, Cahn found himself writing music for a sprawling list of musicals and celebrities. Writing music for iconic Hollywood films such as "Anchors Aweigh" (1945), "The Kid From Brooklyn" (1946), and "Three Coins in the Fountain" (1954). And in 1957 Cahn's platinum composition "All The Way" won him a statuesque Oscar from the Academy. All the way into his final years in the 1960s and 1970s, Cahn continued to churn out classics with songs like "Ain't That a Kick in the Head," and Sinatra's "Let Me Try Again."
Vernon Duke
Vernon Duke's valuable contribution to the genre of Standards contrasts with a lack of modern popularity. Compared to the success of his well-known peers, like George Gershwin, Duke is little known. It seems a grave injustice that more of Vernon Duke's material is not more widely explored by the jazz enthusiasts of the present age, being that he ranks as one of the era's more richly educated song craftsman.
As a Russian immigrant living in the swelling new world of New York City, Duke studied Western classical composition, while earning his income by writing simplistic American popular music. Possessing a very broad scope, he also wrote ballet scores, orchestral scores, chamber music, poetry. And yet Duke's music carries with it a sophistication that is unparalleled by many of his peers. Songs like "Autumn in New York" reveal his sublime melodic mind, and haunting harmonic wisdom.
Vernon Duke's music carried a romance-era sound, and his close ties to the classical realm kept his music poignant and powerful. His music has been performed and recorded by many familiar icons of the jazz realm, solidifying him as one of the treasured prophets of the American Songbook. Songs like "I Can't Get Started" and "April in Paris" will forever be played by musicians around the world.
Earl Zindars
With a Master's degree in composition, Earl Zindars brought an elegance to the collective book of American standards. Zindars studied with many of the greatest musical minds of his era. He attended Oxford on a prestigious Fulbright scholarship, as well as Columbia University. His education fortified him as a tool-clad craftsman in the competitive arena of song building. The gentle power that is conveyed in his unique music is unmistakable.
Zindars formed an unspoken partnership with pianist Bill Evans. In fact, Evans was so partial to Zindars' songs, some of the songs were solidified as cult standards. Songs like "Elsa," and " "How My Heart Sings." Evans even claimed that he kept a collection of Earl Zindars' music transcriptions in a box near his piano for future exploration. Zindars was also experimenting with continually shifting time signatures during the 1950s, and was pioneering a tradition of skilled experimentation that had yet to be seen in that era.
As a tonal innovator, Earl Zindars helped to usher in a new harmonically interesting jazz sound with lush harmonies, and sensitive phrases. Songs like "Soiree" demonstrate a quiet emotional force within Zindars' music. A force that exists free from the influences of cliched musical devices. He proved himself to be a tireless composer, perpetually writing new and colorful jazz material, as well volumes of classical composition, up until his death in 2005.
Listen to Earl Zindars' "My Love Is An April Song" performed by Italian pianist Luciano Troja.

The residents of Druid Hills oppose a minister's proposal to turn the old Carraway hospital site into a housing and service center for people who've been in prison and for recovering addicts.
Those attending a neighborhood association meeting voted 19-0 against the project, and who can blame them?
In truth, most of us wouldn't like the idea of our neighborhood becoming home to a program catering to people with criminal histories and addictions. That's so, even when we recognize the need for these programs and the good they can do.
The dilemma is summed up nicely by Martha Bozeman, a Central City resident who grew up in Druid Hills and still has family there. "We always want to help people fallen on bad times," Bozeman told a News reporter. "But we're worried about the safety of our children and our property values."
Those are valid concerns, and variations of them surface whether we're talking about halfway houses and group homes or garbage dumps and railroad hubs. We all want to protect our property and our children from threats.
The tendency is so common, it has spawned its own syndrome, known in shorthand as NIMBY. Spelled out, the underlying sentiment is a little more clear: Not in my backyard.
When the complaint surfaces, it almost always is followed by a vexing question: Then, where? There's rarely a good answer.
The dilemma is particularly agonizing with regard to the Carraway proposal. What the Rev. Andrew Jenkins envisions is a "ministry mall" that would in its first year house as many as 40 former prisoners and 25 recovering drug addicts; provide an array of social services under one roof; and eventually include community development-style activities such as building single-family homes and recruiting businesses to the community.
It's a project that meets a real need and one that could pay dividends to the whole state. Alabama prison officials have lamented the large number of inmates who exit the system only to return within a matter of years because of the lack of assistance for them on the outside. For former prisoners to succeed, the state said, they often need good mentors, mental health and substance-abuse services, and real help getting shelter, transportation and jobs.
The Village sounds like just the ticket. Jenkins points out the program has worked with about 300 former prisoners at other sites in recent years, and only three have returned to jail. That is the sort of record that should please do-gooders and budget hardliners alike.
Also arguing in The Village's favor right now is this: It's the only known suitor for the Carraway property, whose idleness represents its own threat to the surrounding neighborhood.
But that doesn't mean people who live nearby want to see Jenkins' project come to life, and it's easy to understand why. It would be great if a compromise could be reached that would satisfy the community's concerns and allow Jenkins' program to go forward.
For now, all we have is one community's reasonable answer -- not here -- and one vexing question: Then, where?

Every year about this time, someone begins the heated debate with a simple question: Why isn't the Mountain West Conference Basketball Tournament played on a neutral court?
In the 10 seasons the tournament has been held, seven have taken place in the Thomas and Mack Center, UNLV's home court. The other three (2004-2006) were held in Denver's Pepsi Center, but poor attendance figures pushed the tourney back to Sin City.
On March 10-13, the Thomas and Mack will host its eighth MWC tournament, and the Runnin' Rebels are poised to make a deep run in familiar territory.
The home court advantage for UNLV is substantial. The Rebels are 17-5 all-time in the MWC tournament, a winning percentage of 77.3. The schools closest to that mark, BYU and Utah, are both 11-8, a 57.9 winning percentage.
Of UNLV's three tourney titles and six championship game appearances, only one came in Denver: a 73-70 loss to Utah in 2004.
A failed relocation attempt should not indefinitely paralyze the MWC from considering a different location to improve competitive balance. Here are five alternatives that make the most sense.

Why doesn't the formula Nz([num1], [num2]) detect when [num1] is blank like it is supposed to? It just returns 0 instead of substituting the alternate value [num2].
This can happen because the field property for [num1] called "Treat blank as zero in calculations" is checked. This is checked by default, so you can do things like add and subtract lists of values which contain some blanks.
When this is checked, a blank field looks to formulas just like a zero, which is not the same as null. For the Nz() formula to work correctly, uncheck this box. Then blank fields will then be seen as null.

The Calgary Flames have a rough road ahead of them this weekend as they play back-to-back games against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday and the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. This will mark the third matchup of the season against both division rivals.
The Calgary squad got their first win of November against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night at home snapping a five game losing streak. Dion Phaneuf was the definite war horse for the Flames as he came out with a physical presence from the get-go, and giving the Flames their first goal of the contest. In the end, thanks to a late Kristian Huselius goal in the third period, the home team got a much needed 3-2 victory.
The Flames definitely need to continue on the winning side of things if they wish to make up some ground within the Northwest Division. They currently sit fourth with a two point lead over the Oilers, and six points back of the Colorado Avalanche who hold the top spot.
It seems like the same old habits just seem to be following the Flames year-after-year.
The team is just taking way too many penalties, and they sit twenty-eighth overall on the penalty kill at 74.1% on the road so far this season. These penalties are a real burden for the struggling squad, especially with most of the penalties coming at late stages of games when they have already been trailing. As the Flames have only allowed twenty goals on ninety-eight attempts, this should seem pretty high considering the talent their team has, such as veterans, Jarome Iginla, Daymond Langkow, Robyn Regehr Dion Phaneuf and, Miikka Kiprusoff, who are all on the 2008 All-Star voting ballot.
Another issue which has contributed to the Flames recent downfall, is the lack of production from the veterans they should be able to count on in the time of need.
One of the main players that seem to stand out is veteran right wing, Owen Nolan.
Nolan was one of the biggest names brought to the Flames in the offseason. Considering the hype and expectations of him, he has been nothing that the team hoped for, contributing only one goal and four assists this season.
Another great veteran who should be shining more than he has been is born again Flame, Craig Conroy.
With the Flames resigning Conroy last January—sending Jamie Lundmark to Los Angeles—the Calgary squad was hoping to see that great leader that helped take them to the 2004 Stanley Cup finals. With only five goals and eleven assists in fifty-two games with the Kings, Conroy seemed to feel more at home as he scored two goals in his first game back in the Flames uniform. Well, two goals are exactly what Craig Conroy has brought to the table this year along with three assists.
With the team struggling early in the season, head coach Mike Keenan might have to drop that "Iron Fist," which we have all heard so much about, but have not yet seen. It's either that, or drop the gone-soft coach.
As players like Langkow and Warrener have returned to the lineup after recovering from injuries, Keenan now has some room to make some changes by dropping players like Conroy and Nolan to other lines and bringing up the players that deserve to play with Jarome Iginla.
The Calgary Flames look to improve their recent ways during their three days off and, look to win their second straight game.
Rexall Place is now the site of the Flames next game, as they take on the Edmonton Oilers in the third installment of the Battle of Alberta this season. The teams are tied with one win a piece, with the latest victory going to the Edmonton Oilers last Saturday in Calgary.

Chapter 3:1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time saying,
This is my favorite verse in the entire Bible. Isn't it wonderful that our God is a God of second chances, third chances, etc.?
Questions to ponder about this verse:
What is the difference between the first time God asked Jonah to go to Nineveh and the second time?
Just something to think about. What if Jonah changed his mind and decided not to go to Nineveh? This is a question I have always thought about. I have considered that Jonah was going to Nineveh no matter what. I have considered that the great fish would swallow Jonah a second time and I have considered that Jonah by changing his mind would put himself on the shelf and God would send someone else and they would receive the blessing.
I believe it is apparent that God had a plan for Jonah, the runner and that God is letting Jonah know he isn't through with him.
Chapter 3:2 "Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and proclaim to it the proclamation which I am going to tell you.
Why does God call Nineveh the great city? I need someone to comment because I am not sure. God gave Jonah a simple responsilbility, but it wasn't Jonah's responsibility to convince the Ninevites but he was only to present God's truth.

Duckhorn Winery, based in St. Helena California, produces bordeaux-style wines and has considered one of that regions top-quality producers for almost two decades. Its unyielding commitment to quality has long been cemented by its award-winning merlot which it now produces over 30,000 cases of.
This merlot was one of my "gateway" wines back in my early days of getting into red wines – I remember it have a finish to die for – lush, velvety and just full of excellent fruit which still sticks in the back of my mind even to this day.
This "Napa Valley" Merlot features grapes harvested from 36 different vineyards and really underscores the blending talents of the winemaking staff at Duckhorn. Getting the right comination of blend percentages can be a tricky process, much less working from 36 varrying vineyards and microclimates.
Technical Data:
- Varietal Content: 96% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot
- Appellation: Napa Valley
- Harvest Dates: September 9 — October 31, 2006
- Average Sugar at Harvest: 25.6 degrees Brix
- 36 Vineyards Harvested
- Cooperage: 100% French Oak Château-style Barrels (60 Gallons)
- Barrel Aging: 16 Months
- Age of Barrels: 30% new, 70% second vintage
- Alcohol: 14.5%
- 0.67 g/100 ml titratable acidity
- 8-10 days fermentation at 80?F
- pH: 3.33
- Bottled: April 2008
- Price: $52
Nose: Blackberries, currant, dark cherries, saddle soap with hints of rose petal and leather.
Taste: Firm tannin structure with the classic black fruit that Merlot is known for – fruit hits heavy on the palate like pepper-laced blackberry jam and then brings in nice subtleties of cedar and spice. The finish isn't nearly as long as it should be and at its pricepoint of $52 – I think there are plenty of better wines out there. The tannins should mellow out a lot over the next 3-6 years and I'd be interested in trying this wine again at that time.
I ended-up putting the cork back on the the bottle and tracked its progress over the course of a few days – it defintely started to relax a lot which showed-off the blackfruits even more and helped balance the finish a bit more; however, it's still not remotely being worth the price being asked for it so on that alone, I'd have to give this wine a huge pass.
W.E.P. Rating: 50%

text: Currently, we are witnessing the emergence of novel forms of architectural agency. Whereas traditionally clients and institutions dictated the frameworks and specifications within which architects operated, now new forms of design agency are emerging in which spatial, discursive and curatorial practices proactively identify and execute their own projects. At the same time, today's practitioners and educators are developing new forms of agency by combining more traditional modes of design with skill sets from other fields. How is the architectural project redefined when anthropology, real estate development, scientific inquiry, performance, filmmaking, or activism, for example, are no longer simply metaphors, but integral parts of the architect's intellectual and professional activities? How do we educate and train architects so that they are adequately prepared for such proactive forms of agency and expanded fields of operation?

Study: Memorial Hospital Among Top 5% in the Nation for Patient Safety
Study: Memorial Hospital Among Top 5% in the Nation for Patient Safety
Memorial Hospital was identified as a recipient of the 2012 HealthGrades Patient Safety Excellence Award™, indicating that its patient safety ratings are in the top 5% of U.S. hospitals. In a study released by HealthGrades, the leading provider of information to help consumers make an informed decision about a physician or hospital, Memorial Hospital is one of only 263 hospitals in the country to receive this designation.
The study finds that Medicare patients at Patient Safety Excellence Award hospitals were almost 48 percent less likely to experience one of 13 preventable safety events compared to hospitals in the bottom 5 percent in the nation. If all hospitals performed at Memorial Hospital's level of distinction, approximately 254,000 patient safety events and 56,367 deaths among Medicare patients could have been avoided.
To identify the 2012 HealthGrades Patient Safety Excellence Award recipients, HealthGrades analyzed approximately 40 million hospitalization records from 5,000 hospitals nationwide that participate in the Medicare program. Participation in the HealthGrades study is not voluntary, and hospitals cannot choose to opt out of the analysis.
"At Memorial, we strive to continuously examine and re-examine the ways we can provide the safest care possible to the patients who trust us for their medical care," says Connie McCahill, R.N., chief safety officer, Memorial Hospital. "As a community-owned hospital, we have an important responsibility to uphold patient safety as one of our primary concerns. For this reason, we have infused a culture of safety into every step of the patient experience, from pre-admission to discharge."
"Hospitals like Memorial Hospital are not only setting the bar for high standards of patient safety but also serving as an example for other hospitals," says Kristin Reed, MPH, vice president of hospital quality programs at HealthGrades and author of the study.
HealthGrades uses Medicare inpatient data from the Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) database and Patient Safety Indicator software from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to calculate event rates for 13 indicators of patient safety for all of the nation's hospitals. All analysis was based on data from 2008 to 2010. These indicators identify the best-performing hospitals, which represent the top 5% of all U.S. hospitals and are this year's HealthGrades Patient Safety Excellence Award recipients. HealthGrades developed this award to give patients more information about choosing a hospital.
HealthGrades analyzes the following patient safety events for this study:
- Death in procedures where mortality is usually very low
- Pressure or bed sores acquired in hospital
- Death following a serious complication after surgery
- Foreign object left in body during a procedure
- Collapsed lung due to procedure or surgery in or around chest
- Catheter-related bloodstream infections acquired at hospital
- Hip fracture following surgery
- Hemorrhage or hematoma resulting from procedure or surgery
- Electrolyte and fluid imbalance following surgery
- Respiratory failure following surgery
- Deep blood clots in lungs or legs following surgery
- Sepsis following surgery
- Breakdown of abdominal incision site
More information on HealthGrades Patient Safety Excellence Award and the ratings methodology is available at the HealthGrades web site.

Given the mechanical diversity once found in BMWs, it seems slightly odd that, out of 10 engine variants currently on offer to 3-series buyers, the 330d is one of only three that aren't four-cylinder turbos. The richer end of the spectrum will be filled up as time passes, of course, and you can be sure that an even more powerful oil-burner than this will play its part.
However, our test subject's mill leaves little to be desired. It is an update of the '30d' lump you'll find in an X5 or X6, and promises better throttle response and refinement compared to the E90 330d, as well as more thrust. Its headline outputs of 255bhp and 413lb ft may no longer make it the hottest fleet exec on the block, but that's only due to the trend for twin and even triple-turbocharging that BMW itself started, and which has seen as much as 376bhp conjured from a 3.0-litre diesel.
BMW's 3 Series Touring body is identical to the saloon from the B-pillars forwards and has the same length, width and wheelbase as the four-door. It uses the same all-independent strut front and multi-link rear suspension, too; no 5 Series-style automatic self-levelling here. But the 97mm growth spurt the F30 put on relative to the E90 should make this Touring that bit more accommodating than the last.
ZF's emissions-saving eight-speed automatic gearbox comes as standard on the 330d, as does Servotronic variable-assistance power steering (choose a less powerful engine and you have to pay extra for both). But it wouldn't be like BMW to give everything away for free. The Adaptive M Sport suspension of our test car, which allows you to tailor the damping control to suit your mood, is an extra, as is the car's non-speed-dependent variable-ratio steering.

I took LenDale White and Domenik Hixon in the late rounds of my draft. I dumped Hixon (thx FO) for Justin Gage already. Then someone dumped L.Coles and the next day someone dumped Willie Parker. In our league it's 1 point for 20 yds for RBs and 1 point for 10 yds for WRs, so RBs and WRs are pretty much equal. I can go after Coles over Gage, but if I get Coles, I'll never get Parker 'cuz of my waiver priority. I'm so confused...please help!

PITTSBURGH - Leaving the Big East for the Big Ten would be a big mistake for Pittsburgh, according to men's basketball coach Jamie Dixon.
Dixon calls the Big East ''the best conference in college basketball history'' and said it wouldn't benefit Pitt or any other conference member to switch leagues.
Big Ten officials plan to spend the next year to 18 months exploring whether to add a 12th member. Pitt has been mentioned as a likely candidate because it offers a large TV market, excellent academics and a prime location. The Panthers could renew their lapsed rivalry with Penn State and form a new one with nearby Ohio State.
Dixon needs to hear a lot more reasons than those.
''I can't see how any team would improve where they're at by movement,'' Dixon said Thursday. ''Every situation, you have to look at why you're doing it to improve yourselves. And I can't see how moving from the best conference in college basketball history would be a good thing for anybody.''
While Pitt football might have more to gain than the basketball team by joining the Big Ten, Dixon doesn't believe the move would significantly benefit coach Dave Wannstedt's program, either.
Fact Box
Giger's take: Dixon is right
Thank you, Jamie Dixon, for pointing out there is more to college sports than just football. It may be a foreign concept in our football-driven area, but some schools actually have great basketball programs and would prefer to stay in their current leagues.
They don't need the Big Ten.
Specifically, I'm talking about Pitt and Syracuse, two powerhouse basketball programs which got that way by being in the nation's best hoops league, the Big East.
It's a shame sports fans in central Pennsylvania have never had a great local basketball program to root for.
But don't underestimate how passionate basketball fans are at places like Pitt and Syracuse, where longtime rivalries with Georgetown, UConn, St. John's and others cannot be replaced. Pitt ultimately may be swayed by the Big Ten's money, but as Dixon said, it would be a mistake.
What's your take? E-mail your thoughts to firstname.lastname@example.com.
''We've got (football) bowl tie-ins greater than any other conference, as far as percentages, so what would we have to change for?'' Dixon said. ''This thing just keeps getting better.''
Dixon mentioned no schools by name. However, abandoning longtime Big East rivalries with Syracuse, Georgetown and Connecticut and replacing them with Iowa, Northwestern, Minnesota and Wisconsin - distant schools with no ties or significant attraction to Pitt - could erode interest in Panthers basketball.
Pitt built a new, on-campus basketball arena seven years ago largely because of the demand for Big East tickets. About 3,000 are on a waiting list for season tickets at the 12,508-seat Petersen Events Center.
To Dixon, the Big East became the envy of other basketball conferences when Louisville, Cincinnati, Marquette, DePaul and South Florida joined in 2005. Fifteen of the Big East's 16 basketball-playing schools have made at least one Final Four appearance.
''We don't have to change, because things are heading in the right direction,'' Dixon said. ''Other conferences might have to change to gain momentum, but our momentum has been consistent since the expansion itself. So, it's exciting to hear about it and talk about it, but at the end of the day who's really going to improve their position from our conference? Nobody.''
Dixon's comments Thursday were the first by any Pitt coach or administrator since the Big Ten signaled its plans on Tuesday. Pitt chancellor Mark A. Nordenberg has been a strong Big East proponent, leading the expansion drive that kept the conference together after Boston College and Miami left for the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2005.
Notre Dame, a Big East member in most sports except football, turned down the Big Ten in 1999.
Dixon also doesn't believe the NCAA basketball tournament will expand from 65 to 96 teams, a move that would create an extra weekend of play and allow far more mid-major schools to participate.
''I just don't see it changing,'' Dixon said. ''I think it probably needs to be changed, but I don't think it can be.''
Pitt has played in the last eight NCAA tournaments, the longest current streak of any Big East team.
''I think our numbers indicate how tough it is to make the NCAA tournament when we have by far the longest streak in the best conference in the country,'' Dixon said. ''It just goes to show how tough it's become, especially in our conference, but I just don't know how they're going to change those things around.''

Perspectives is an online academic journal run by students for students. We are looking for contributions from undergraduate and graduate students dealing with all aspects of communist and post-communist studies.
Call for Papers
The Centre for Post-Communist Studies at Saint Francis Xavier University launches its online review, Perspectives, a worldwide student journal of investigations of communism and post-communism. The journal considers for publication excellent articles written by current students from around the world providing timely insight into the political, social, economic and cultural life of communist and post-communist countries. Perspectives provides a forum for graduate and undergraduate students to engage diverse ideas and to imagine new possibilities for the development of countries as diverse as Cuba, Russia, and Kazakhstan. Contributions dealing with any communist or post-communist country are welcome, as are examinations building on political science, economics, history, religious studies, anthropology and sociology. Both single-case studies and comparisons of two or more countries will be considered.
The electronic format of Perspectives provides an alternative venue that expands debate by creating space for the emergence of new ideas. Such a medium broadens the horizon for undergraduate and graduate publications and provides a forum where typically unheard voices can be heard in academia. The editors firmly believe that budding scholars introduce valuable ideas that must be disseminated in order to understand the different facets of life under communist and post-communist regimes. Our speedy review process and electronic format enable us to publish accepted contributions in the shortest period of time. Perspectives is a biannual publication directed entirely by students and benefiting from the guidance of the St. Francis Xavier faculty known for their expertise on communist and post-communist issues. The journal accepts original, previously unpublished manuscripts in English, French and Russian. If wishing to submit a manuscript for publication, please contact our Managing Editor for style guidelines.
We ask that you consider posting a link from your website to ours. Please review our website, post our link, and help us publicize this wonderful opportunity for students to share their ideas!

GamingAngels is looking for writers!
GamingAngels has been an amazing community for eight amazing years. In the beginning I started the site because I wanted there to be a place where women could get their start writing about games. At the time, there were very few women writing about games in Game Magazines, and it was difficult to find other women I could relate to. I wanted to create a community that brought us together by our common geeky thread, but also fostered discussion and challenged status quo. Now things have changed. There are many wonderful women writing about games. The area that needs to be worked on is getting more women interested in becoming a part of the gaming industry. Making sure girls are encouraged to study STEM fields, and doing our best to point out when any media is being contrary to that goal. We've had amazing staff that I have considered family.Read more →By GamingAngel in News 1 Comment »

Steven Guilbeault, a senior director at Montreal-based environmental organization Équiterre, says the Lac Mégantic disaster is the biggest land-based oil spill in North American history.
It beats out the previous one by about two million litres. That spill occured in July 2010, when a pipeline owned by Calgary-based oil company Enbridge ruptured, spilling 3.7 million litres into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan.
That accident happened just two months after the Deepwater Horizon, an offshore drilling platform owned by petro-giant BP, exploded, killing 11 and sending hundreds of millions of litres into the Gulf of Mexico.
Guilbeault says eased regulations and a willingness to kowtow to the oil industry led to the fireball that engulfed much of downtown Lac Mégantic last July 6.
He charges that the federal government is far too closely involved with the oil industry to take the well being of Canadians seriously.
"The Harper government has that they would abolish - and they have - a lot of the environmental laws and regulations we had to make it easier for industry. Well, that's what self-regulation leads to."
The federal government has issued new regulations in the wake of the disaster regarding rail transport of dangerous materials, including requiring two engineers on board and prohibiting them from leaving trains unattended.
But critics charge that Transport Canada is only reintroducing measures which had previously been repealed.

Despite the protests of some in the party to the contrary, there is a sense of crisis at the Liberal Democrat conference in Brighton. But they ought not to worry because that is good news. The party is not quite in the throes of a serious leadership crisis — though it would be wrong to say that no such mutterings are audible. It is at the beginning of an identity crisis that is long overdue.
For many years, as a party of inveterate opposition, the Liberal Democrats assumed separate identities depending on where in the country they were operating and which

Amusing attempt at colonial chic
We stayed at the Continental in Saigon for one night in January in a Junior Suite booked directly with the hotel for approximately $120 + 15%tax etc (which makes it expensive for Saigon)
The hotel is fun for a short stay as it mixes colonial charm with soviet style bathroom and kitsch redecoration attempts (each piece of furniture in the suite was a different age & colour of wood - the writing desk even was "adorned" with a carved 3d version of the hotel logo)
Therefore if this is your honeymoon or you are stretching your budget for some (colonial) luxury this hotel is not for you. If, however, you are looking for some comfort in a unique, amusing setting this is definitely one of a kind - we found the experience worth it.
- The hotel is set in Dong Khoi close to some of some of the major sites but amidst other expensive hotels and top-of-the-range designer shops. Therefore if you are looking to soak in the atmosphere of the city this is not the area to be.
- The breakfast buffet has a wide range of relatively low-quality items. However the made-to-order omelet is good. There is a nice out-side terrace
- As everywhere in Saigon expect street-noise
- Room has a/c, fridge-minibar, t.v.
- Taxi from airport to hotel should cost equivalent of about $5 depending on traffic
- Internet access in the business center of the hotel charges a rip-off price
Ubicación Perfecta
Cosas buenas:
La ubicaci�n es perfecta - en la parte m�s bonita de Ho Chi Min.
Las habitaciones son grandes y ventiladas y ten�amos unas preciosas vistas sobre la plaza.
Cosas malas:
Se celebr� una boda durante las dos noches que estuvimos en el hotel -una terrible m�sica de karaoke subia a trav�s del suelo y el personal del hotel parec�a reacio a ayudarnos.
El Centro de Negocios- encontrar�s a la mujer m�s desagradable que trabaja all� - No puede ser m�s brusca o menos cooperadora, �y te cobran 1$ por minuto de internet!
Aburrido y falto de imaginaci�n.
Perfect Location
Good Things
Location is perfect - its in the nicest part of Ho Chi Min.
The rooms are large and airy and we had a beautiful view overlooking the square.
Bad Things
A Wedding was being held at the hotel on both of the nights we stayed - dreadful kareoke style music came pounding through the floor and the hotel staff seemed reluctant to help.
Business Centre - met THE Most unpleasent women who worked in here - she could not have been ruder or more unhelpful AND they charged $1 a minute for the internet !!
Boring and unimaginative.
Perfetta ubicazione
Lati positivi
L'ubicazione � perfetta; si trova nel punto pi� bello di Ho Chi Minh.
Le camere sono grandi e ariose e godono di una vista meravigliosa sulla piazza.
Lati negativi
Siamo rimasti due notti e entrambe le volte c'era un matrimonio: attraverso il pavimento potevamo sentire il suono martellante di questa orrenda musica tipo karaoke e il personale dell'hotel sembrava restio ad aiutarci.
Business Centre: l� ci lavora una donna INCREDIBILMENTE scortese che non avrebbe potuto essere pi� maleducata o scostante. INOLTRE fanno pagare $1 al minuto per l'uso di internet.
Noiosa e scialba.
Großartige Lage
Nun ja, das Continental hat seinen Zweck erf�llt...ein Ort zum Duschen und Schlafen!! Die Einrichtung der Zimmer war sehr altmodisch. St�hle mit �bertriebenen Verziehrungen, gl�nzende Satinbettw�sche...nicht, dass das irgendwie wichtig w�re. Auf dem Tisch lag eine Liste auf der stand, was man alles dort "kaufen" konnte, inklusive der Kopfkissen, Bettw�sche, St�hle usw. Sehr witzig! Es m�ssen dort in der Vergangenheit viele der G�ste etwas als "Andenken" mitgenommen haben! Wir hatten einen Tag kein hei�es Wasser und nachdem wir angerufen hatten erschien eine Frau mit einer Thermoskanne!! Nachdem wir das Problem ihr dann vor Ort erkl�rt haben, kam ein Mann mit einer Leiter und ein anderer Mann samt der ersten Frau in unser Bad. Es wurde dann sehr viel und laut diskutiert! Sie sind 10 Minuten sp�ter dann wieder gegangen und sagten uns, dass nun alles wieder okay sei. Wir k�nnen also sagen, dass der Service gut war!! Es war zwar kein lautes Hotel, trotzdem konnte man Leute, die sp�t auf ihre Zimmer zur�ckkehrten, auf den Korridoren h�ren. Das Hotel erinnerte uns an ein altmodisches Krankenhaus. Es gab sogar auf jeder Etage eines diese Fensterb�ros, das wie eine Triage aussah!! Das Fr�hst�ck war okay, es dauerte aber oft sehr lange, bis sie wieder neues Besteck brachten, wenn dieses mal aus war. Das Personal an der Rezeption war sehr effizient und die Portiere waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit mit dem Gep�ck und beim Rufen von Taxis. Die Lage ist exzellent, gleich neben der Oper. Zum Markt geht man 10 Minuten zu Fu� und in die andere Richtung sind es auch nur 10 Minuten zum War Remnants Museum.
Perfekte Lage
Wir waren von dem Moment an als wir unser Zimmer betraten vom Hotel begeistert. Vier Fenster und Fenstert�ren zum Balkon haben dem Zimmer eine luftige Atmosph�re verliehen. Uns wurde vorher gesagt, dass es sich nur um ein 3-Sterne-Hotel handelt, aber wir fanden es viel besser als das Rex, das 4 Sterne hat. Die Zimmer im Continental waren viel ger�umiger und sch�ner. Okay, der Rezeptionsbereich war nicht gerade prachtvoll, aber ich glaube, dass das Zimmer wichtiger ist. Der im Freien liegende Innenhof war fantastisch und das Fr�hst�ck hatte alles, was man sich w�nschen konnte. Die Lage ist gro�artig - man kann zum Fluss und den Bin-Tanh-M�rkten laufen. Auch Gesch�fte sind nicht weit. Ich war vom Hotel sehr beeindruckt.
Great location
Well the Continental served it's purpose....a place to shower and sleep!!
The decor of the rooms is very old fashioned; ornately carved chairs, shiny satin bedspreads....not that that matters really. There is a list on the table that states the cost of just about everything in the room if you would like to "buy" it, including the cushions, bedspreads, chairs etc. Very funny! They must have had trouble with people pilfering stuff in the past!!
We didn't have hot water one day and on calling housekeeping a woman arrived with a thermos flask!!! After explaining and showing her the problem, a man with a ladder came into our bathroom followed by another man and the original lady. Much loud talking and arguing ensued! They left ten minutes later nodding to us that everything was working now. So we would have to say the service was good!! Although not a noisy hotel, late night revellers coming home could be heard clearly from the corridors.
The hotel reminded us of a large old fashioned hospital...there was even a windowed office on each level that looked like a triage!!! The breakfasts were fine although they were often a little slow replacing cutlery or plates that had run out.
The staff on reception were efficient and the door men were lovely and very helpful with luggage and taxis etc.
The location is excellent. Right next door to the Opera House. 10 minute walk to the market and ten minutes in the other direction to the War Remnants Museum.
Perfect location.
We loved this hotel from the moment we walked into our very spacious room...4 windows and french doors opening onto a balcony gave it a very airy feeling..we had been told that this was only a 3 star hotel but found it much superior to the Rex which is classed as 4 star...the rooms in the Continental are far more spacious and it just has a nice feel to it.. Ok the reception area isn't as grand but I think a nice room is more important.
The outside courtyard is fantastic and the breakfast is all you could possibly wish for. The location is great- within walking distance of the river and the Bin Tanh markets.
Shopping at your doorstep..I was really impressed with this hotel.
Lovely historical place, well situated
- The hotel shows the nostalgy of the old days. They tried to keep it it as best as possible, although the business center behind glass windows on the right hand side is somewhat anacronic.
- You have to see the hotel as a big rectacular pattern, with in the middle a smaller recangular patio. If you are lucky to have you room on the inner side, it gives you a peacefull sight, with some flowers and trees and you are not disturbed by the noise of the traffic in the streets. Pity that a lot of electrical cables above harm a little the site.
Public places are clean, the reception is in "old" style. French and English newspapers are at guests disposal in the entrance hall.
- rooms are clean, and maintenace is good.
- the bathroom, although renewed could be done with better style. Everthing is ok except the wash bassin style (rather cheap) and a plastic Allibert cupboard above it! Perhaps they estimate that Allibert is a major brand for these things, but still, it misses class.
- the minibar is as usual expensive compared to the supermarket prices in the area. Note that a small sticker of the hotel on each of the tins, avoid that you replace it by another one. So, don't mix them up if you put your own stuff!
- television is not the ultimate one, but standard channels such as TV5(French) and CNN available.
- the room maid have the habit (or instruction) to have the Airco working less during the day. Each time temp. was set up by them at 25 C� , while I programmed 20 C�
- WAKE UP calls. Well it simply does NOT work at all. You ask for 06 h 45 and it can be at 7 h 20, not at all, or even at 5 h in the morning, or at any time.- -- the business center did work honnestly for faxes, reconfirmation of flights etc.
- the little tiny boutique (calll it a shop) has not too much choice, except the old fashion postcards of the hotel in its earlier days.
- The hotel is nearly an historic landmark. Build in 1880 it was in the past a well known hotel at the same level of the Raffles in Singapore of the Peninsula in HK. It was confiscated by the new government in 1975 with the Vietnam defeat. Went down, but was restored upon the opening of Vietnam to the west.
-Very well situated in the centre of Saigon, next to the opera house. Completely renewed in 1998.
The Good and the Bad of Vietnam
While the rooms were lovely and the hotel had a lot of atmosphere there were a couple of problems. One is that a bar somewhere close, could be the hotel's own nightclub, had loud music with that annoying bass thumping that went on until midnight each night we were there. We didn't complain as we were too tired and the incessant honking from outside would have been another noise to contend with, so we weren't getting any quiet.
The other more disturbing thing was a massage that we had signed up for. We have traveled over much of asia and have had massages in China, and Thailand, but this is the first one where my husband was offered "special services", which he declined. We signed up at the hotel's massage spa, thinking it was a legitimate spa. The first woman who gave a massage to me had absolutely no training and proceeded to verbally assault me by screaming to me to take off all of my clothes(in vietnamese) I'm American and I don't understand the language, and in my country we are allowed to wear our underwear and slip privately under a sheet while getting a massage. She then started kneading me and whacking me and doing such a terrible job I couldn't stand it and insisted that she quit. The receptionist tried to talk me into staying and I told her how the girl yelled at me and that when I signed up for a massage I had hoped to have a relaxing time and not feel assaulted. She then offered another girl, who had no technique and wasn't much better, but at least she didn't yell at me. I'm surprised that a Hotel as venerated and part of Saigon's history as the Continental runs such a shoddy business our of their hotel, and I wanted to let people know that if they are in for that kind of stuff, fine, but if you want a relaxing massage done by a trained massuese, skip it and wait till you get back to the states.

Medical Director, Roper Hospital Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine, US Navy Diving Medical Officer
The small but medically important field of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) remains a source of interest and confusion. HBO is the use of pressurized oxygen to heal a very specific list of injuries or conditions. The length and number of treatments depends on the condition and its severity.
When properly administered, HBO can be a remarkably effective component of a treatment plan for some patients. However, like all therapeutics and medical procedures, it does come with some risks and precautions.
For example, governing bodies have approved HBO for a small list of emergency and chronic (longer term) conditions and medical studies have demonstrated positive outcomes for those patients. Emergency conditions include many associated with scuba diving such as decompression sickness (the bends) and gas embolisms (air bubbles in the circulation). Other emergencies qualifying for HBO treatment include Carbon Monoxide poisoning, necrotizing fasciitis (flesh eating infections), gangrene and surgical flaps and grafts that are at risk.
Chronic conditions benefiting from HBO can include radiation damage from cancer treatment, severe diabetic wounds of the lower extremities, and resistant bone infections.
HBO has not been shown to be helpful for conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, strokes, infertility or fibromyalgia. Beware of claims on the internet or in some outpatient settings that state otherwise.
Concerns about HBO
Although most HBO is delivered safely with a very low rate of serious complications, a high-pressure oxygen chamber does bring certain risks into play. That is why it is important to work with your doctor to locate an HBO center that is certified by The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) which is an international, non-profit organization. The Roper St. Francis Hyperbaric & Underseas Medicine (HBO) department is certified by the UHMS, with distinction, and is also regulated under the direction of an experienced doctor. The medical staff is trained to recognize proper indications for the use of HBO, and to treat patients safely and appropriately.
There are hyperbaric facilities that have different levels of oversight and accreditation. Some are outpatient facilities with limited oversight, while others serve as fully accredited, hospital-based departments which are on call for emergency and chronic cases.
Many people have seen the news reports about two HBO accidents that contained explosions and fires. Both occurred in Florida and both were in non-accredited facilities with minimal third-party oversight. To date there have been no serious safety hazards in any HBO facilities accredited by the UHMS. We welcome any questions you may have about this form of treatment.

DURHAM, N.C. — The Buffalo Bisons will happily leave Durham in their rear view mirror.
After scoring two runs in the first inning, the Durham Bulls pulled away with four runs in the third inning to pin a 7-2 loss on the Herd, sweeping the four-game series.
The Bisons are now just 2-18 at Durham since the 2009 season. Durham picked up home sweeps against the Bisons in 2010 and last season. Winless in their last 10 games on the road against the Bulls, the Bisons have not won in Durham since a 9-1 victory on June 21, 2011.
Right-hander Josh Johnson made his second Major League Baseball rehab start and was rocked for six runs on eight hits in just 4∏ innings. The two-time National League All-Star tossed four shutout innings on May 25 against Indianapolis. In that outing, Johnson allowed just an infield single and a walk while striking out three.
He began his rehab stint with a three-inning outing for Single-A Dunedin on May 20.
The Herd got off to a good start when Moises Sierra tripled to center with one out then scored on a sacrifice fly by Luis Jimenez. Mauro Gomez followed with his 11th home run of the season at the Bisons led, 2-0.
The Herd led 2-1 in the fourth when Durham's Tim Beckham hit a two-run double to center. After Mike Fontenot was hit by a pitch, Cole Figueroa doubled on a line drive to right, plating two runs for a 5-2 Bulls lead.
Durham's J.D. Martin earned the win after going six innings and allowing the two runs in the first inning while striking out four.
Wilson native and former University at Buffalo pitcher Steve Geltz retired all nine men he faced, striking out three, to get his second save of the season for Durham. Geltz was the winning pitcher in Monday's series opener and is 3-0 this year with a 2.87 ERA.
The Bisons begin a four-game series in Norfolk tonight (7:05 p.m., Radio 1520).

Four of the Republican presidential candidates spoke about the right to human life at a "The Gift of Life" documentary's premiere, Wednesday night in Des Moines, Iowa.
Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum attended the event and each addressed the audience of 1,200 people.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who narrated the documentary, also hosted the premiere.
"We understand that the number one issue that has driven this election is the economy and jobs. But it doesn't mean that the sanctity of human life for every human being is not an important issue," Huckabee said.
"I think it is significant that all four of the candidates who are present tonight have endorsed life. And that ought to be very important," he added.
The documentary's release came less than three weeks before the Iowa caucus.
Huckabee won the 2008 Iowa caucus but has not yet endorsed a candidate.
