- Title
- Scenario-driven development of context-aware adaptive web services
- Author(s)
- Hussein, Mahmoud; Yu, Jian; Han, Jun; Colman, Alan
- Abstract
- Context-awareness and adaptability are highly desirable features for web services that operate in dynamic environments. In recent years, a number of approaches have been proposed to support the development of such services. However, the requirements elicitation of this kind of services and the synthesis of their design models from the requirements are still major challenges. In this paper, we propose a novel scenario-driven approach to developing context-aware adaptive web services. Our approach enables the elicitation of a web service's requirements as two sets of scenarios: functional and adaptation. The functional scenarios capture the service's functionality while the adaptation scenarios represent the service's adaptation logic to cope with runtime context changes. We also support the synthesis of the service's design model from its scenarios, and the automatic transformation from the service's design model to the executable service code. To demonstrate the applicability of our approach, we have used it to develop a context-aware travel guide service.

Illegal fishponds to be closed; no permits sought before construction
August 17, 2011 —
A blue heron was trapped in monofilament line that had been strung across the pond to prevent it and other birds from eating the teaming tilapia fish in the water below. Exhausted, the big bird struggled to lift its head out of the water to take a breath then let its head drop back below the surface.
That's the scene fishing guide Stefan Spoerri came upon on August 7. With another guide and a client at the site, Spoerri was able to cut loose a kingfisher, which was also trapped in the line. Later, a blue heron was rescued, but Spoerri didn't know if it was the same one he saw. With other dead birds on the ground, he speculated that there must be a pile of them somewhere nearby.
The five ponds were created by Lewes Wu, but without first seeking any permits from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Wendy Rosenbach, a spokeswoman for the agency, said there were several permits that would be needed for an operation like this.
She said, for example, "He didn't have coverage under the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit, which is required if you disturb more than an acre of land, and that's a water quality issue." She said Wu excavated material for the ponds without applying for a mining permit, and while he may have received an exemption, he still needed to inform the DEC of the work.
Also, she said, "He didn't have any inland fisheries permit for bringing in fish. You have to have fish tested now if you bring them in from somewhere else to make sure they don't have some kind of virus. So he didn't have permits for anything he was doing. I'm not sure if we would have permitted it; it would have taken some review because of the location near the river."
Rosenbach added that when they received pictures of the monofilament lines above the ponds they instructed Wu that he had to remove the lines that day.
Wu was given until August 15 to remove the fish. According to Don Hamilton of the National Park Service, the fish were still there as of that date, but the DEC planned to be at the site on August 17 and hoped to meet with Wu, who has been given until August 31 to completely restore the site.
Rosenbach said Wu and the owners of the property had been cooperating in the matter. Attempts to reach Wu were unsuccessful.

Planning to head out into the wild for next week's deer hunt?
Before you go, the DNR wants you to be aware that Chronic Wasting Disease appears to be spreading outside Wisconsin's CWD management zones.
Despite the warnings, some hunters, like Don Meadowcroft, who says he's been hunting as long as he can remember, aren't worried about CWD, though they aren't denying it exists.
"It would be nice if the work they're doing toward it was eliminating the CWD," said Meadowcroft. "But I don't think it is."
Meadowcroft instead prefers to focus on what he can control, like washing his hunting gear in unscented detergent to prepare for gun deer season.
"This week is the crunch week when I do the work, all the packing, laundry, and the list and checking it twice is all this week," said Meadowcroft.
The DNR, meanwhile, is checking for CWD, which was first discovered in Wisconsin back in 2002.
According to the DNR, the disease doesn't impact people, but it can have deadly consequences for deer.
"Lowering the deer population to reduce that deer-to-deer spread as well as environmental contamination is the best thing you can do to control a contagious disease like CWD," said Eric Lobner, Wisconsin DNR wildlife supervisor.
Lobner said the DNR has been monitoring the deer herd in CWD management zones and they've noticed an increase in the disease outside those zones.
"In some areas it's been approaching 30 percent in the male population," said Lobner. "For hunters, about one in four mature bucks will have CWD, so they should be conscious of it."
The Wisconsin DNR is also focusing on what Illinois is doing to manage the disease.
While the neighboring state hasn't eliminated CWD, they have seen a significant reduction.
Meadowcroft will try to leave thoughts of CWD behind when he heads into the woods next weekend, armed with his father's hunting gun.
He says he's looking forward to the tradition and to spending time with friends.
"The memories you're going to have with them and some things on your own, way more than the antlers on the wall," said Meadowcroft.
Hunters are being asked to be on the lookout for deer showing signs of CWD, which could include a skinny appearance or excessive drooling.
Hunters who eliminate a sick deer should contact a local DNR warden, who will provide another tag to hunt with.

Keelon Lawson was recently hired by the school as an assistant coach and the younger Lawson indicated he would follow him there.
"With (my father) being on staff, there's no other college I would rather go to," Dedric Lawson said Sunday after helping Team Penny beat Boo Williams in the semifinals of the EYBL Finals at the Peach Jam.
Team Penny lost to Playaz Basketball Club in the championship game Sunday afternoon. The Peach Jam is considered the top summer tournament for high school prospects in the nation.
Lawson, a 6-foot-8 forward, is ranked No. 7 nationally among the 2016 class, according to 247Sports. His older brother, K.J., is ranked 43rd in the 2015 class. He committed to Memphis last year.
Dedric Lawson is the first top-10 prospect from the '16 class to commit.

It's always easier to face tough situations when one has a plan. We now know how to get from A to B to C, and once we get to C we pray.
When my husband and I heard what had happened to my dad and reviewed the initial test, we both suspected he had suffered a chordae tendineae rupture.
The heart is a four-chambered pump – the right atria, the right ventricle, the left atria and the left ventricle. These chambers are further bisected by valves which control the flow of blood in and out. The aortic valve, the tricuspid valve, the pulmonic valve, and the mitral valve.
To put it simply, the mitral valve opens and closes via the chordae tendinaea, tiny tendons attached to muscles in the heart wall. Rarely one of these tendons will spontaneously rupture causing incomplete closure of the valve, leakage, and regurgitation. In other words, the blood runs backwards, increasing pressures in the rest of the heart, causing the other valves to leak, and worse, causing dilation of the left ventricle~ the heart's workhorse~ and resulting in cardiac failure sooner rather than later. My father has 4+ regurgitation which is about as bad as it can be.
In other words, this has to be fixed if it can be fixed, ASAP.
In my father's case, the onset of symptoms was sudden – shortness of breath with exertion, chest tightness and extreme weakness, all of which were relieved when he stopped moving. Classic.
Fortunately my father is in incredible shape. He's been a race-walker all his life. His normal pace is 4 mph. Even as a teenager I had to jog to keep up with him. Because his heart is so healthy he's bought himself the time he needs to complete certain tests before he has open heart surgery to repair the ruptured tendon.
When I was a kid my father told me he didn't believe in God, but he believed in prayer.
I believe in both. So… off on a plan and a prayer we go. Thank you all so much for your support and your patience.

The Host IPS Firewall is stateful and offers location awareness and other advanced features, including IP Reputation filtering, part of McAfee's Global Threat Intelligence (GTI). The firewall uses GTI to protect endpoints from botnets, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, advanced persistent threats, and risky web connections.
McAfee collects data from billions of IP addresses and network ports, and calculates a reputation score based on network traffic, including port, destination, protocol, and inbound and outbound connection requests. The score reflects the likelihood that a network connection poses a threat, such as a connection associated with botnet control.
Coupling a single firewall rule with a GTI-only policy lets you immediately receive the benefit of cloud intelligence on known botnets and their command and control centers. This is achieved with little effort, minimal overhead, and no interference with your existing host or network firewall rules.
While coupling desktop firewall with GTI can give you additional benefits it is not a requirement for the firewall.
Follow these steps to assign a policy that simply enables the firewall and sets the sensitivity level for GTI at Medium risk or higher. At this point, no firewall ruleset is active or assigned. Enabling the Firewall and setting GTI to medium risk or higher.
Perhaps you have shied away from Host IPS, feeling that it would be a complex or lengthy process to deploy, or had concern about blocking legitimate processes. By following a logical, systematic approach, you can quickly realize the benefits of deploying Host IPS in your environment. While the policies applied here are sufficient for initial testing, prior to full production deployment you are strongly encouraged to read over the deployment methodology discussed in detail in the: Host IPS 8.0 Installation Guide, pp. 11-26.

Just like the rest of the PC makers, Dell ran into issues with hard disk drive supply after severe flooding hit Thailand. The company formed a special crisis team and reacted pretty quickly by acquiring strategic quantities of hard drives and pulled in systems from its hubs. As the situation is very dynamic and is changing every day, Dell expects shortages to persist throughout the first half of calendar 2012.
"We made strategic purchases of inventory and pulled in supply from our hubs. This drove an increase in our end-of-quarter [days sales of inventory]. We also have teams working with the impacted suppliers to manage our hard drive supply chain and qualify new sources of supply. Our goal is to mitigate any impact to our customers in Dell, and our teams will be working throughout the quarter to do just that," said Jeffrey Clarke, vice chairman of operations and technology.
Unfortunately for Dell and the rest of the industry, the actual impact of the flood onto production capacities is completely unclear. It is unknown whether manufacturers of hard drives and components will need to build new factories and/or reinstall the production equipment or will be able to resume production once the water recedes. What is clear is that the situation will persist throughout Dell's first quarter of fiscal 2013, which ends in April, 2012.
"It is difficult for the industry to pinpoint the magnitude or duration of shortages, so that puts the industry and allocation environment at least through Q1 [of Dell's FY2013]. [...] The situation is quite dynamic. It changes every day. Our risk management team is in looking at the tier two and tier three supply base from base-plates, motors, actuators, bearings, top covers, etc. We are also working with each of our partners to understand what our recovery plans look like or their recovery plans look like from building to equipment overhaul to reinstall to requalification. It is a very dynamic world out there with this hard drive situation," said Michael Dell, the founder and chief executive officer of Dell.
Even though manufacturers of hard drives prioritize shipments to large PC makers, such as Dell, and fulfills their demands first, pricing of hard disk drives will still go up in the coming quarter. The good news, however, is that with slowing demand towards PCs in general and consequent decreases of prices, increased HDD costs will be partly offset. Still, some personal computers may get more expensive due to various reasons and in general the situation remains tough for the PC maker.
"I think when we look at component prices, clearly we would expect the price per drive on the hard disk side to go up. We are seeing that, and I think the reality is that when you look at the overall aggregate component cost for the quarter, there is enough other inflation in other components that is going to more than offset that, is our current view," said Brian Gladden, chief financial officer of Dell.

Doubling the Stakes
The MIKROTOURBILLONS has two rotating tourbillons mechanisms visible on its dial face, one for time telling and one for timekeeping. The first beats at 4 hertz - 28,800 beats per hour - and controls the ISO 3159 compliant watch; its hand sweeps the dial at a standard tourbillon speed of once a minute. The second, the world's fastest tourbillon, controls the 1/100th-of-a-second chronograph and is dynamically compensated to run at 50 hertz, meaning it beats at 360,000 beats per hour and rotates at a dizzying five seconds per revolution, or 12 times a minute. Another mind-numbing technical prowess: it has no cage and can be started and stopped thanks to the dual chain architecture.

Graphics card maker CP Technology expects graphics cards for PCI Express x16 slot to account for 20% to 25% of the company's annual output, a Smith Barney analyst believes.
Kirk Yang, an analyst for Smith Barney stationed in
Volume commercial shipments of PCI Express x16 graphics cards by CP Technology is likely to begin in the second half of the year. Sales of advanced graphics cards for PCI Express lanes are likely to bolster average selling prices of CP's graphics cards from current $60 - $70 per unit, the analyst believes.
CP Technology makes graphics cards based on VPUs from ATI Technologies. According to ATI's plans, the company has R423, R480, RV380, RV381/RV370 and RV410 VPUs with PEG x16 support this year. Arch-rival NVIDIA is also planning to ship top-to-bottom family of graphics products compliant with PCI Express x16 bus.
While the number of PCI Express-supporting chips from ATI as well as the ratio between PEG x16 cards and AGP graphics cards for CP Technology seems to be impressive, the actual share of PCI Express graphics in the market will not be really huge this year and will hardly achieve 25% share among all graphics cards sold by all manufacturers.
The majority of PCs entry-level and mainstream computers shipped will still either have AGP, or integrated graphics. Only high-end, performance-mainstream and some mainstream PCs will be supplied with PCI Express x16 graphics cards installed. However, this year chipset makers will create infrastructure for PEG x16 graphics cards, while GPU makers will create PEG x16 chips, making rapid PCI Express x16 ramp in 2005 possible.
The proportion of PCI Express graphics cards is likely to climb to 80% in 2005, the Smith Barney analyst is reported to have said. It is not exactly clear whether he meant proportion fro the industry in general, or for CP Technology in particular.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State senior quarterback Jeff Tuel has decided not to seek a fifth year of eligibility and make himself eligible for the 2013 NFL Draft.
"I have had a great four years at Washington State and will always be grateful to the university, my teammates, coaches and especially the fans," said Tuel. "I feel it is time to pursue my life-long dream of playing in the NFL."
Earlier this year Tuel petitioned the NCAA to receive a fifth year of eligibility after having played in only three games in 2011. In that season's opener he suffered a collarbone injury that kept him out of action for the next four weeks. He returned to play the entire game against Stanford Oct. 15, and then started the following game against Oregon State in which he reinjured the collarbone and was lost for the year.
"The petition process has been going for months and there have been a number of questions over the past few weeks, but no decision," said Tuel. "Everyone involved has done their best to support me and I truly appreciate their efforts. However, given the uncertainty in the outcome and timing, I feel it is in my best interest to move on in hopes of getting an opportunity to prove my skills at the next level."
Tuel played in 31 games during his career, 26 as a starter, and completed 531 of 865 passes for 5,936 yards and 33 touchdowns. His completions are fifth-best all-time at WSU while he is sixth in attempts and seventh in yards and touchdowns. Tuel ended his Cougar career as the school's all-time leader in completion percentage (.614).
"We appreciate Jeff's contributions to Cougar football and wish him the very best in the future," said WSU Head Coach Mike Leach.

As an offshoot of the Association's main Professional Development Program, NBAA's Schedulers Professional Development Program (SPDP) provides course offerings designed to meet the needs of schedulers and dispatchers.
NBAA's Schedulers & Dispatchers (S&D) Committee introduced the Schedulers Professional Development Program in 2001 as a way to provide additional and improved training options for schedulers and dispatchers. The program's 30 learning objectives are tailored to these professionals. All learning objectives and courses are approved by the S&D Committee.
Those who participate in the SPDP receive professional recognition by NBAA and industry peers in the following ways. First, SPDP participants earn a certificate of recognition for completing each program objective. Those who complete six or more SPDP objectives, or complete an entire SPDP module, receive a recognition plaque. Additionally, participants are annually recognized during a formal SPDP presentation and photo opportunity during NBAA's Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference. NBAA provides additional recognition for individuals as they complete each module and ultimately meet all 30 objectives. As of fall 2007, the program facilitated more than 700 course completions, and over 30 individuals earned recognition plaques for completing six or more objectives.
SPDP courses are offered in conjunction with NBAA events or can be taken in coordination with individual providers. Participants should keep NBAA informed of their participation in this program in order to receive recognition. For more information, contact NBAA's Sarah Wolf at (202) 783-9251 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Zeina Bain: the buyout star keen on detail
Zeina Bain is a self-confessed "nerd". She likes visiting the factories of the companies that she invests in, and trying to get to know the staff. She joked: "I get the really glamorous ones, like the frozen food factory. In Poland. In December. In heels."
Take Carlyle's buyout of paper and packaging maker Chesapeake last year for over £400 million. During the deal, Bain visited 10 carton factories to see what was happening on the ground. Glamorous it is not, but this attention to detail has helped the firm's investment director rise to prominence and led her to be named one of Financial News' rising stars of private equity executives under 40 in 2013, as well as one of the most influential female executives working in the European financial market.
Over the past decade, Bain has seen big changes at Carlyle. She was there when the team did its first London deal, has seen the investment team double in size and helped to invest Carlyle's money in companies, from the obscure such as Chesapeake to high street brands such as automotive services company RAC.
But Bain is still a relative rarity on the London private equity scene. She is a senior female deal-doer, responsible for spending billions, who is not yet 40.
One deal adviser said: "Zeina's style is very straightforward and she has got high standards. The fact that she is very smart, and all over the detail, means that you have to be on top of your game."
She now splits her time evenly between deal origination, execution and monitoring companies. The latter is a part of the job that Bain clearly enjoys – particularly working with management and developing contacts below board level.
She explained: "I love visiting factories. Having visited a few, you get a feel for their drumbeat. If they're sloppy on their health and safety, or if everything is rushed out, then that's symptomatic of something. That says a lot about the management."
Understanding the dynamics between staff is also an area where she feels that she, and female private equity executives more broadly, can bring something different to the table.
She said: "When you are monitoring the deal, you need to wear your 'soft issues' hat, and this is where I apply a bit of focus. Companies are very organic, and it's about people. It sounds a cliché, but I do genuinely think women can bring something different here."
She added that she is beginning to see more women executives at board level, and recalled that, during the RAC buyout (where RAC had a female CEO and CFO), "some of the diligence got done in the women's toilet".
From Lebanon to London
Bain was born in Lebanon, and her family moved to Saudi Arabia and then on to the UK, settling in London in 1985. She grew up in west London and graduated from Oxford University, which, she joked, was useful "for sounding good at dinner parties but very little else".
At university, Bain decided she wanted a career in finance and, on graduation, began working at Merrill Lynch in their emerging markets team in 1998.
She said: "I was always interested in finance – I learnt to walk by being bribed with coins. I liked the idea of doing financial transactions, rather than consulting on strategy and more abstract things".
After nine months as an analyst at the bank, the Asian financial crisis began to bite and Merrill Lynch started to shed mid-level staff. It put relatively inexperienced staff like Bain in the spotlight, meaning long hours and extra responsibility.
She said: "There I was, trying to talk to the privatisation ministry of Egypt about privatising their electricity sector or doing these massive conferences."
After two "very tough" years at the bank, she left to join technology venture capital firm European Digital Capital, setting her on the road to a career in private equity. It was at this small fund, which focused on seed investments in the UK and Scandinavia, that Bain got the taste for the buyside.
As the dotcom boom fizzled, she interviewed with several large buyout firms, meeting Carlyle's managing director Robert Easton and Glenn Youngkin, who is now the firm's chief operating officer, in the process. She said: "I loved the process of finding a good business and investing, but I wanted to do it on a larger scale."
She plumped for Carlyle in 2001 because of the good "chemistry" she had with the team.
In the early 2000s, Carlyle was still a relatively new kid on the block in Europe, having only opened in London in 1997. When Bain joined there were just five investment professionals, whereas these days they have 11 on the London team.
Carlyle adopted a quasi-franchise approach to growth, raising dedicated region-specific funds with local people in senior positions. The firm raised its first European fund in 1998 at €1 billion, but by 2001 the office had yet to do any deals.
In the early 2000s, heavily indebted corporations began selling non-core assets allowing Carlyle to buy businesses at competitive rates. The first deal for the London office was the 2002 public-to-private buyout of engineering group Firth Rixson. Deals on which Bain has worked over the years include the buyout of AZ Electronic Materials, Britax, RAC and, most recently, the buyout of UK paper-based packaging products provider Chesapeake.
Looking ahead
This year is set to be a big one for the European arm of Carlyle. The US buyout firm's third fund, which raised €5.4 billion in 2006, has now finished its investment period and the firm is currently raising its fourth European fund targeting €3 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Commenting generally on the year ahead, Bain is wary of leverage multiples creeping up and says she is upbeat about dealflow. She said: "The key thing is that you have to be even more disciplined than before, and not be tempted into big financing packages, having lived through [the crisis]."
But hopefully that won't dampen her enthusiasm for the job. She said: "When it's going well, [it] is the best buzz."
Successful deals from Bain's career
AZ Electronic Materials (2004)
AZ Electronic Materials, which makes materials for semiconductors and flat panel screens including Apple's iPad, was bought by Carlyle for €338 million in 2004.
Bain said: "It's very complicated chemistry, if you have a tiny defect you'd mess up, say Samsung's processors."
The company was run as a collection of businesses within a Swiss conglomerate but after combining the businesses and bringing in a new management team Carlyle listed the business on the London Stock Exchange in 2010.
Britax Childcare (2005)
Carlyle bought Britax Childcare, which makes child car seats and buggies, from its parent company Britax International for £230 million.
Bain said: "We thought it was a slow and steady business. People are only having so many kids." But she says that changed as the company bought in new product lines, including the launch of a $400 child car seat that had done well in new safety tests but was scheduled to launch at the height of the recession. "We were like 'good luck', but it flew off the shelves."
The company was sold to Scandinavian buyout house Nordic Capital for £450 million in 2010.
Carlyle bought the UK's second-largest roadside assistance provider RAC from Aviva for £1 billion in 2011. By October 2012 Carlyle had taken a £290 million dividend out of the company.
Bain is a member of the board of directors, and said that it was "delightful" that both the CEO and CFO of the company at the time of the buyout were women.
Chesapeake (2013)
Carlyle bought the paper and packaging maker Chesapeake from sponsors including Irving Place Capital Management and Oaktree Capital Management for over £400 million in July last year.
Chesapeake's previous owners had acquired the Nottingham company out of bankruptcy in 2011. Bain is a member of the board of directors.

Investors' Behavioural Biases and the Security Market: An Empirical Study of the Nigerian Security Market
Behavioural biases describe a replicable pattern in perceptual distortion, inaccurate judgment, illogical interpretation, or what is broadly called irrationality. This paper adopts a primary data approach to investigate the effects of behavioural biases on security market performance in Nigeria. The objectives are in twofold: one, to examine the extent of behavioural biases among security market investors in Nigeria and, to examine the effects of behavioural biases on stock market performance in Nigeria. The paper employed questionnaire as instrument and the technique of correlation with Pearson Product Moment Coefficient to analyze a survey of 300 randomly selected investors in Nigeria security market. We find strong evidence that behavioural biases exists but not so dominant in the Nigeria security market because a weak negative relationship exists between behavioural biases and stock market performance in Nigeria. The paper recommends that individual investors in the market should engage the services of investment advisors which will reduce personal biases in the management of their portfolios.

Soy Ink
In 1988 artist Sharen Brower of Newell was experimenting in her studio. She tested a new type of ink made from soybean oil. Unfortunately, the ink did not dry at all and was hard to clean up. Next, Sharen visited scientists at Iowa State University and other labs. After more experimentation she created a formula for faster drying soy ink. Sharen liked using this ink because farmers grow soybeans throughout Iowa.
After some publicity, Sharen received phone calls from printers wanting to know more about her discovery. "As an artist, I didn't intend to invent anything," she said. "I think that's how inventions happen out of necessity. I was trying to do something different." She talked to officials of a large ink company about producing her invention, but they were not interested.
In 1991 Sharen obtained patents for formulas for soy newspaper ink, artist's ink, paint and other products. Later she learned the ink company that hadn't been interested in her invention was selling a product a lot like hers. The company told her they wanted to negotiate a licensing agreement so they could continue to manufacture the ink. When they couldn't reach an agreement, the company sued Sharen claiming her patent was invalid.
Sharen fought back. The lawsuit took so much of her time that she closed her studio in 1993. Finally in 1997 the lawsuit was settled out of court. Sharen received a sum of money for a settlement. After the lawsuit was settled, Sheran resumed painting.
Many newspapers are printed with soy ink. Many printers place a special seal on their products to show readers that they use soy ink. The SoySeal is available from the National Soy Ink Information Center in Urbandale. Soy inks are better for the environment than petroleum based inks because they have fewer compounds which react with other pollutants to form smog. Also, experts say it's easier to remove soy inks from paper when recycling.

Hospitals to delay on aid-in-dyingBy DAVE GRAM
THE Associated Press | May 18,2013MONTPELIER Vermonts new aid-in-dying law, which allows doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients who request it, is set to take effect as soon as Gov. Peter Shumlin signs it on Monday. But most Vermont hospitals are expected, at least for the time being, to opt out of implementing it.
That word came Friday from officials at several hospitals, as well as from Jill Olson, vice president for policy and government affairs at the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems.
Olson said her group is advising hospitals to take their time to develop policies for how to handle aid-in-dying on their properties and among their medical staffs. Theres a lot of work to do to get ready to do it, she said.
Shumlin is set to sign the bill in a Statehouse ceremony set for 2 p.m. Monday, making Vermont the fourth state to allow such a practice. Aid-in-dying laws passed by public vote in Oregon and Washington; a court decision made it legal in Montana.
The House gave the bill final passage Monday; it could have been brought up for a reconsideration vote Tuesday but was not. That means less than a week passed between the time it was clear the bill would pass this year and when hospitals would be legally authorized to begin using the process the new law sets up.
We are not ready, said Laural Ruggles, spokeswoman for the Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital in St. Johnsbury.
Sen. Claire Ayer, D-Addison, chairwoman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee and the Senates chief champion of the legislation, said Friday that she was not surprised the hospitals would want additional time before implementing the new law.
My guess is they want to make sure they have everything all lined up and they know exactly what theyre doing, she said.
Many bills contain an effective date that comes well after theyre signed into law by the governor. But Ayer said because the bill passed right at adjournment, legislative procedure required that it either be signed by Shumlin within five days or wait until January, when lawmakers return for the second half of their biennium, for enactment.
She said hospitals feeling rushed was a downside, to the quick effective date. Having it not take effect until January would be a worse downside, she said. There are people who are waiting for this bill.
Using the procedures outlined in the law is voluntary for hospitals and for physicians, and the law bars hospitals from requiring that employees be willing to use it as a condition of employment.
Thats why at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vermonts largest hospital, a temporary policy says only that aid-in-dying procedures are not to be used with inpatients who might want to take the lethal medication while they are in the hospital, said spokesman Mike Noble.
Many of the more than 750 doctors who are employees of Fletcher Allen work at satellite clinics outside the main Burlington campus. Nothing prevents them from prescribing the medication at a patients request and allowing the patient to take the drug at home, Noble said.
As for inpatients, Noble said in an email, the temporary ban will be an interim policy in effect from when the bill is signed until it is replaced with a policy that has been reviewed and adopted by the medical staff after discussions with our ethics committee. We expect that review to take a few weeks.
At the Rutland Regional Medical Center, spokeswoman Priscilla Latkin said the goal is to be very thoughtful about this. Our ethics committee has a meeting on May 29. This will be the lead topic for that meeting. Our folks are going to discuss the bill and determine if we can cooperate with the bill moving forward.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

"Let us then not be ashamed to confess the Crucified. Be the cross our seal, made with boldness by our fingers on our brow and in everything; over the bread we eat and the cups we drink, in our comings and in goings out; before our sleep, when we lie down and when we awake; when we are travelling, and when we are at rest."
~ St. Cyril of Jerusalem in his "Catecheses" (xiii, 36), on the sign of the cross, a practice familiar to Christians in the second century and which had passed into a gesture of benediction by the fourth century, as many quotations from the Fathers show

The Lourdes Joint Academy is the most comprehensive and effective total joint program in the area. Being a patient at our Joint Academy is all about the experience and your outcome. From our extensive pre-operative education and exercise, to your surgery and subsequent hospital stay, and finally your post discharge care - we will coordinate the entire experience for you, insuring you the quickest and safest return to normal activities.
Our patients are asked to share their experience with a relative or a friend (a tutor) to assist them with the educational and recovery process. Our patients are treated as if they are well individuals, not as if they are sick, with expectations set accordingly. As a result of our well coordinated and proactive approach to joint replacement surgery most of our patients are able to return home within a few days of surgery.
We feature a dedicated staff on a specially-designated unit who care for our joint replacement surgery patients.
The results of the Joint Academy are amazing! Most joint replacement patients are discharged to home within a few days-because of their rapid recovery.
This is what some of our patients had to say:
"I cannot begin to express my appreciation for the Joint Academy Program you've established at Lourdes. It is one of the most humane, empowering and effective applications of interdisciplinary health care I have ever experienced. The quality of the nursing care was exceptional. Your PT staff was wonderful. The mission statement of the hospital was given a "face", a "voice" and a "touch" that brought it alive. I have been bragging about your program nearly endlessly....
Thank you not only for good medicine, but for good thinking."
Rev. Thomas A. Clemow, Oneonta, NY

Me and My Gang
It's all for one and ONE FOR ALL YA'LL
It's a brother and a sister kinda thang
Raise up your hands if you all wanna hang with
With me and my gang
We live to ride, we ride to live
Me and my gang
Jump on that train
Grab a hold of them reins
We gonna rock this thang, cock this thang
Me and my gang
Today in the Latest Leaders I got #15, which is the best I have ever ranked. So, first of all, a HUGE thank you to all my readers. You guys have been amazing!!
Lately I have really grown to like Rascal Flatts. Their music is pretty amazing, and one of my favorite CDs is Me and My Gang.
I thought this song was kind of appropriate for the Padres. Kind of seems like a Jake Peavy song, ya know?
The Padres and their fans are on an amazing adventure right now. Hey, five-game winning streak and on top of the NL West. This season is going to be exciting, at least for a while. I think the Padres fans have been skeptical of this winning team, but more and more are coming behind them and joining the party. We don't know where our Padres are going, but it will be so much fun to find out.
I know that I, for one, will be sticking by these Padres all year, even if Monday night was the last game we will win this year. Even if we lose Jake Peavy (oh boy), even if we don't lose another game this year. Even if this team crashes and burns. It's not easy, I found that out last year. But I'm going to stick by this team no matter what.
So, jump on that train, grab a hold of them reins, let's rock this thang, cock this thang…me and my gang/Padres!!
Today, in my dedication to #15, I'm going to mention 15 members of my gang who have had superb performances in the last week.
Luke Gregerson has been excellent this week. He's gone five innings, giving up only three hits and that's it. He's been able to get out of bases-loaded-with-no-outs jams, and he's been absolutely solid.
Adrian Gonzalez has been warming up over the week. He has eight hits, seven RBIs, and two home runs in eight games. He's going to be so good this year!
Scott Hairston is a stellar ballplayer, man. He's been so solid this week, with some spectacular catches in center field, as well as some blast from the plate. This guy can flat-out play!
Luis Rodriguez has been pretty good in the past week. He's played in seven games, with three hits and four RBIs. But check this out: he has eight walks! Wow, that's pretty good. But understandable since he's been hitting low in the lineup, usually right before the pitcher.
Duaner Sanchez has kind of gone under the radar, but he's been solid for the Padres. He's thrown three innings, allowing nothing but a walk. He came into some essential games, too, like Monday when the Padres had a one-run lead.
Heath Bell has had no problems taking over Trevor Hoffman's job as closer on the Padres. He has four saves in four opportunities so far this season.
David Eckstein has been an excellent pickup for the Padres. He's had some great at-bats, even though they didn't always end up in a positive result. Still, he's been very solid in his hitting and his defense.
Chase Headley has been playing very well for the Padres. He has six hits and five RBIs in eight games. He also has two home runs, and great defense in left field.
Henry Blanco was not signed by the Padres for his offense, but San Diego has recieved some of it anyway. In addition to catching some excellent games, Henry has two home runs already.
Chris Young has throw 13 innings so far, allowing only two earned runs with 12 strikeouts. He has earned two wins, beating Randy Wolf and Tim Lincecum.
Jody Gerut has five hits so far, including a home run and three doubles. He's also had stellar defense in center. It's been so much fun to watch him…
Brian Giles has five hits and four walks, but has not come through in a lot of big situations, like bases loaded with no outs. His defense has been superb, though. He knows that right field corner in PETCO so well!
Nick Hundley has definitley improved at the plate from last year. I think he's going to have a really good offensive year. His catching has also been great.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! That picture is soooooo cute!!! WOW, I totally love it!!! Ah, where was I? Oh yes, Kevin Kouzmanoff's amazingness! He has six hits so far. I think he's still warming up. He'll get better as the season goes on… Just look at that guy. Wow.
Jake Peavy's first start wasn't the best, but his second was incredible. In 15.1 innings pitched, he has 18 strikeouts. I am so thankful that he's still here in San Diego, and I hope he will be sticking around for a long time.
Again, thanks so much to all my readers! Without you guys, this blog has no meaning. Keep checking back here for all the latest Padres news!
Today the Padres are playing the Mets again, Kevin Correia against Oliver Perez. GO PADRES!!!
9 Comments
Please put a whoopin' on the Mets for us.
Luke Goddard and Braves NATION!!!!
Oh sure, the Mets release Duaner Sanchez and that is when he turns great again. Must be the weather, you know? Watch him get booed tonight when he faces the New York crowd again. :p
What a creative dedication! I, too, love Rascal Flatts, but I haven't been able to buy their new CD yet. I'm kind of hoping prices on Amazon come down so I can get it there and not spend $14 at Target.
CLA MEREDITH. Sorry, had to get in some props for the only Padre I could ever really love.
Kylie — http://kylie.mlblogs.com
I was at the ballpark last night with a guy who said Headley went 0-3 against him in high school! Headley is from this area and I looked it up. Sure enough. Funny the people you meet. He was just proud he shut him down in high school and now the guys a pro.
The Flatts rock. I was there when they sang for the 4th of July celebration in Boston last year.
Yeah, Peavy's the man.
This is a fantastic dedication blog idea. I might have to borrow it for my next one. And you've given me another Rascal Flatts song to add to my iPod. 🙂 Peavy = ♥ hahaha!
Nice dedication! I love it. It's very creative. David Eckstein looks FINE in that picture.
