Molecular breast imaging (MBI): A promising technology oversold in a TED Talk?
Occasionally, there are topics that our readers want — nay, demand — that I cover. This next topic, it turns out, is one of them. It's a link to a TED Talk. I'm guessing that most of our readers have either viewed (or at least heard of) TED talks. Typically, they are 20-minute talks, with few or no slides, by various experts and thought leaders. Many of them are quite good, although as the TED phenomenon has grown I've noticed that, not unexpectedly, the quality of TED Talks has become much more uneven than it once was. Be that as it may, beginning shortly after it was posted, readers of both this blog and my other super-not-so-secret other blog started peppering me with links to a recent TED Talk by Dr. Deborah Rhodes at the Mayo Clinic entitled A tool that finds 3x more breast tumors, and why it's not available to you.
At first, I resisted.
After all, I've written about the issues of screening mammography, the USPSTF guideline changes (here, too), the early detection of cancer (including lead time and length time bias, as well as the Will Rogers effect), and a variety of other topics related to the early detection of breast cancer, such as overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Moreover, to put it bluntly, there really isn't anything radically new in Dr. Rhodes' talk, at least not to anyone who's been in the field of breast cancer for a while. Certainly, there's no new conceptual breakthrough in breast imaging and screening described. As I will discuss in more depth later in this post, there's an interesting application of newer, smaller, and more sensitive detectors with a much better spatial resolution. It's cool technology applied to an old problem in breast cancer, but something radical, new, or ground-breaking? Not so much. What Dr. Rhodes describes in her talk is the sort of device that, when I read about it in a medical journal, produces a reaction along the lines of, "Nice technology. Not ready for prime time. I hope it works out for them, though. Could be good." So it was with molecular breast imaging (MBI), which is the topic of Dr. Rhodes' talk. So I continued to resist for about two or three weeks.
Then our very own Harriet Hall sent me the link. I cannot resist Harriet. When she suggests that perhaps I should blog about a topic, it's rare that my response would be anything other than, "Yes, ma'am. How soon would you like that post and how many words?" I keed, of course, but only just. The best I could come up with was a wishy-washy "But this isn't really anything all that new," which is true enough, but the way Dr. Rhodes tried to sell the audience on the idea of her technology brings up a lot of issues important to our audience. I also thought it was important to put this technology in perspective. So here I go. First, I'll start by describing what really set my teeth on edge about Dr. Rhodes' talk. Then I'll go to the primary literature (namely her brand, spankin' new article in Radiology describing the technology) and discuss the technique itself.

An Ada County grand jury has indicted a 21-year-old Nampa woman on charges of first-degree murder in the death of a man whose body was found under his house.
Prosecutors alleged Jordan Marie Shaver shot 49-year-old Brian Barton Geddes in the head from behind, rolled his body into a blanket and hid it under the house.
Shaver also was indicted on charges of felony robbery, grand theft, failure to report a death and use of a deadly weapon in commission of a crime. Her arraignment is set for Jan. 4.
Prosecutors said Shaver stole Geddes' money, car, home and other personal items, including his cellphone.
Geddes was last seen alive on Oct. 16. His body was found on Nov. 2 and Shaver was arrested the same day.

August 9, 2012 —
The ill-conceived resolution the Town of Delaware passed at its June meeting in response to a citizen's request that the board look into the issue of gas drilling undermines the property rights of the vast majority of the citizens of our town. In the name of property rights, it upholds the rights of a small minority who will profit from hydro-fracking leases at the expense of the rest of us, who will see our property values plummet and our taxes go up to subsidize the infrastructure the industry requires and to pay for the damages resulting from its activities. I also questioned the town's stance of neutrality as, in essence, accomplishing what the resolution seeks to do without coming out and saying so.
What I witnessed at the July meeting reinforced my apprehensions, but also raised my hopes that we may have a window of opportunity to handle this very divisive issue in the right way. I said that we need to hold back on gas drilling until we have informed ourselves on the true costs and benefits, and several others made comments along the same lines. Whether through a commission set up for this purpose, or a series of meetings sponsored by the town board, with a tight structure, the right participants and a transparent public process, we could move toward making informed decisions in the interests of the town as a whole.
Of course, the hotheads on both sides will never be convinced that they do not have all the answers, but I remain convinced that most of our residents are decent folks who are willing to see the factual evidence for all the conflicting claims made on this issue. But it has to be done the right way. Let's invite proven professionals with experience to present hard data. Let's make sure they base their assertions on real scientific methodology, wherein facts are subject to verification, not vague propagandistic claims on either side of the issue. We do not need more paid operatives; we need reputable professionals that fair-minded people would agree are presenting an objective, factually based analysis whose accuracy can be verified. And we need an agreed upon agenda with opportunity for the public to question the participants in a controlled and civil manner.
Among the many questions that need to be addressed, we need to examine what will be the future economic impact of hydrofracking for our town. What is gained, what is lost?
I grew up in areas where extractive industries were dominant, and I have examined their economics in my academic career. The pattern I have observed in almost all instances is a boom period whereby some locals, usually a very small group, benefit while most of the wealth flows out. After the resource is exhausted, the local environment is left devastated and the population impoverished.
I would like to see what the long-term costs will be for us. Let's examine what happens in communities where the industry has been operating for three or four decades.
We have an opportunity, if we do it the right way, to lay the basis for informed decisions that will benefit the town as whole. Let's not rush into something we may live to regret. The gas will still be here in 20 or 30 years, and worth a lot more.
As I said at the conclusion of my remarks at July's meeting: I hope that cooler heads prevail and that the future prospects of this beautiful town are protected so that the generations to come will have a future to enjoy. I think we should all take a cue from our highway superintendent, Bill Eschenberg, when he said we all need to listen to each other and come together for our own good.

[Verse 1]
I'm just average, common too
I'm just like him, the same as you
I'm everybody's brother and son
I am not different from anyone
It is no use a-talking to me
It's just the same as talking to you
[Verse 2]
I was shadow boxing earlier in the day
I figured I was ready for Cassius Clay
I said "Fee, fie, fo, fum, Cassius Clay, here I come
26, 27, 28, 29, I'm going to make your face look just like mine
Five, four, three, two, one, Cassius Clay you'd better run
99, 100, 101, 102, your ma won't even recognize you
14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, going to knock him clean right out of his spleen"
[Verse 3]
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
The streets in heaven are lined with gold
I ask you how things could get much worse
If the Russians happen to get up there first
Wowee! Pretty scary!
[Verse 4]
Now, I'm liberal, but to a degree
I want everybody to be free
But if you think that I'll let Barry Goldwater
Move in next door and marry my daughter
You must think I'm crazy!
I wouldn't let him do it for all the farms in Cuba
[Verse 5]
Well, I set my monkey on the log
And ordered him to do the Dog
He wagged his tail and shook his head
And he went and did the Cat instead
He's a weird monkey, very funky
[Verse 6]
I sat with my high-heeled sneakers on
Waiting to play tennis in the noonday sun
I had my white shorts rolled up past my waist
And my wig-hat was falling in my face
But they wouldn't let me on the tennis court
[Verse 7]
I got a woman, she's so mean
She sticks my boots in the washing machine
Sticks me with buckshot when I'm nude
Puts bubblegum in my food
She's funny, wants my money, calls me "honey"
[Verse 8]
Now I got a friend who spends his life
Stabbing my picture with a bowie knife
Dreams of strangling me with a scarf
When my name comes up he pretends to barf
I've got a million friends!
[Verse 9]
Now they asked me to read a poem
At the sorority sisters home
I got knocked down and my head was swimming
I wound up with the Dean of Women
Yippee! I'm a poet, and I know it
Hope I don't blow it
[Verse 10]
I'm going to grow my hair down to my feet so strange
So I look like a walking mountain range
And I'm going to ride into Omaha on a horse
Out to the country club and the golf course
Carry The New York Times, shoot a few holes, blow their minds
[Verse 11]
Now you're probably wondering by now
Just what this song is all about
What's probably got you baffled more
Is what this thing here is for
It's nothing
It's something I learned over in England

Following concerns that a bulb in one of the floodlights above the Princess Street Stand was on fire, the Club acted swiftly on the advice of the Fire Service to evacuate the stand and allow them to inspect the floodlight in question. Upon inspection the Fire Service said that it was not on fire.
After consultations between the match officials and coaches of both teams, the decision was made to finish the game with just over seven minutes remaining with player safety in mind given the delay in play that already occurred.
Although the Club understands that the RFL will determine whether the result shall stand, Castleford Tigers are in favour of the result standing.

Newsmaker Q&A: Dorsey: On the avant but not too far out
- published_in
- The Edge
Question: We heard you've partnered with Mountain Riders Alliance to develop a test model of the first sustainable ski resort. What can skiers expect coming from this project?
Answer: The idea is to help small- and medium-sized ski areas that are especially vulnerable in the industry to look at a comprehensive approach to sustainability as a new business model, and to help them become more financially resilient while having a lighter environmental impact and stronger ties to the community in which they work, so ski towns.
Mountain Riders Alliance is a pretty passionate, nonprofit, grassroots organization that has been able to put the vision out there. They've been given a positive response and they've had some crowdfunding and other resources to bring to bear to this effort. They have this idea of "mountain playgrounds" that meet the ideal of a sustainable ski resort. And they're going through the process of their first mountain playground conversion, which is a small ski area in Maine. Our job is to help them.
We're going out there in February to study the operations and create a blueprint around sustainability. Think about it as We Buy Ugly Houses but for ski areas. Not ugly, but areas that might be underperforming or otherwise might be going through ownership transitions for whatever reasons. The idea is to give the resort a sustainability facelift and then get it back on its way. So our job is to help create a more engineering-based and business-based tool for Mountain Riders to be able to screen prospective ski areas for conversion to the mountain playground status.
Q: What does creating a sustainable ski area look like, practically?
A: The ski industry has economic indicators around ski area health that we've been monitoring since the 1970s. What we're doing is looking at those industries and seeing how sustainability can help. For example, on average, 3-6 percent of (the cost of) operations is electric power that is used for lifts or for snow-making or in buildings. If you can dramatically reduce that, your operating profits are much stronger, the value of the building is much stronger. It all then propagates through to the fiscal wherewithal of the company and its performance. That's just one example.
Q: We're looking at all of those indicators and saying, "In your marketing, is there a target demographic that would be more susceptible to support a highly sustainable operation? Are you reaching out to that demographic and informing them about your efforts?"
A: Water is another area, (as are) waste management and operations, green building, food and beverage. Brendle Group just convened a webinar about sustainability in the supply chain for the ski and tourism industries. How do you help a ski area source local food so it's fresh, it's healthy, it's locally produced and it's not the $15 hamburger approach? It's every aspect of operations, as well as community relations, because you can't surgically draw a line around the ski area.
In the short term, the mountain playground projects are more in the West and Alaska, but Mountain Riders have had a lot of interest. They are getting inquiries all the time from small- and medium-sized ski areas, so it's not at all inconceivable that it would likewise be of interest to Colorado ski areas.
Q: Brendle Group operates in a field that is constantly innovating. How do you stay relevant, and furthermore, ahead?
A: It is a very dynamic space we're in. We actively manage our services to be leading-edge and relevant. We are constantly creating new services in new markets that we think are needed in terms of those next frontiers of sustainability. Once something becomes more commoditized in terms of services, we are less involved in them because that becomes a pretty competitive space.
We have an advisory board and strategic planning processes internally that help us indentify those next frontiers, which we think is an intersection of meaningful change toward sustainability, what our talents are to help realistically contribute to those challenges, and the third part is what our customer's fiscal realities are and what the market situation is. We're trying to not be so far out that people can't access or procure those services because it doesn't otherwise fit. So it's an alignment around those three things.
Q: When you won the C3E award, you spoke briefly about the tensions you've faced between being an engineer and a mom. How did you find a balance, and what did that balance look like for you?
A: When I spoke about it at this conference, it was really well received because the conference was a group of women practicing in clean energy, and it is a challenge that everybody faces.
I had posed it in my remarks as a riddle. A riddle, meaning you know that there is an elegant solution, you just don't know what it is and you have to sort of noodle on it a bit. You can't use brute force to force your way to a solution. I tell some of my colleagues that you have to hold that tension, the uncomfortable tension where something seems unsolvable for a little while, and be comfortable in that space, but while having a firm belief that there is as solution to the riddle of being a great mom and a great engineer, even when the rest of the world is telling you that one of these things must give. For me, it was being confident that you can be both and yet being respectful of the tensions between those two.
Q: There is a philosophy in architecture that the places you inhabit reflect the vales you hold. What do Northern Colorado's buildings tell us about what we value?
A: I'll start by answering that a little more close to home.
We're in our 16th year of business and twice we've gotten to be our own customer. The first time was six years ago when we built our own home. My husband and I spent a lot of time really talking about our values and what that means and how we live as a family and how we open our home to guests in terms of the design and the light and the colors. Ultimately we ended up becoming Colorado's first LEED home. It was great timing that LEED Residential came out the year we were doing our home. It was great to be in practice for a decade like that and be able to finally be our own customer and really show our values in a physical way.
The second time was this building (the Brendle Group office) which was built in 1985 for an electrical engineering firm. They did a fantastic job, and it was award-wining in its time. We got to come in 25 years later to do that updated sustainability remodel and had a lot of dialogue – there is thought to everything in this space.
We have a lot going on (in Northern Colorado) that is very much aligned with my personal philosophies, and Brendle Group's core values and beliefs are very much aligned with what we're seeing in Northern Colorado. You can see it everywhere, from our local living economy to our work to our green building trades to the breweries being thoughtful about how their operations impact the community and being progressive about sustainability all the way down the line.

A shiny perl6.org site
Permanent link
I'm very pleased to announce that perl6.org now got a shiny new face - the one that Su-Shee developed for perl6-projects.org. I'd also like to thank Daniel Wright, owner of the perl6.org domain, for making that domain available to us.
The story behind it is as simple as amazing: I noticed that we had no good, up to date overview of what Perl 6 projects existed out there. So I bought the domain perl6-projects.org, put up a few lists of different projects - and gave it a rather bad design. Because I may be decent with programming, blogging and explaining things, but as a designer I simply suck.
But what I did was sticking the source code into a public repository (the pugs repository, to be exact) to which it is very easy to gain access, and made the server pull from that repository every 15 minutes. So basically everybody who wanted could update the site.
And lo and behold, four month later Su-Shee contributed a nice design, which we modified in small things based on feedback from #perl6.
Slowly it dawned to me (and others probably) that this site had the
potential to be much larger in scope than a simple project list - it could
evolve into the central web site for Perl 6 developers and users. With the
small caveat that
perl6.org would have been a much nicer domain
name - but it was taken already.
But the whois entry gave us hope - it belongs to Daniel Wright, and a quick google search turned up that he's a perl monger, organizer and attendee of YAPC conferences. So we decided that pmichaud should contact him, being more of an authority in Perl 6 land than me.
After a few exchanged mails we found out that Daniel's and our goals matched, so about one day later he changed the DNS to the same IP that perl6-projects.org uses, I added another alias to the virtual host, and we were done.
It's a prime example both for attracting contributors, and for what you can reach by simply talking to people. Thanks to everyone involved.

That is so true about Ryanna Howard…you want to make sure she leaves your house at night. Yikes.
Effing awesome!
Austin — Ryanna… nice. Better than Rihanna even! Less bruising too!
Saundra — Thanks… and keep comin' back!
Jonestein — Your creation… gotta be somethin' in it for you. How 'bout a hug from Al sometime? (I hear he's a good hugger).
hahahahahahaha…………….my god too frickin funny…..now I'm gonna be picturing 'Metaph 1' tonight during the game….(must calm down) cant stop laughing….
Jeff – As much as I would love to take credit for the Metaphor suggestion, as my continued laughter starts to subside, I couldn't remember when I suggested this, my age could indicate that your memory is better than mine, but having checked and in the the true spirit of things the claim to fame should be given to Buz, as his comment indicates from your last Filibuster:
I love that you can live without your saint, just not your religion. I'm right there with ya. How about a metaphor on the "Powers" A-rod and Howard?
Buz – http://buzblog.mlblogs.com/
Game 2 Metaphor, I would suggest a look at the managers…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Peter — WHOOPS! You're right. Must've mixed them up when putting them together. My bad… and my bad, Buz. We got it fixed now!
well what can you say about that except 6 fricking 1…wooohoo
sorry had to celebrate somewhere….🙂
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Fine by me, man. Solid performance from Lee. Outstanding really.
Pedro Martinez called Howard "Big Sexy" in SI this week :O) But this takes the cake…LOL
Haha. Big Sexy, eh? I'll take Pedro's word for it😉
You're killin me dude. That was f'n funny!! And Muy Grazi for the credit. But.. hey, you wrote it.. I laughed.. and hopefully voted on the funniest of the two. Big Sexy!! sic
Oh, and he was just as potent as Arod was not last night!
Buz – http://buzblog.mlblogs.com/
When it rains, does Ryanna need a umbrel..lla..lla..lla.
(Sorry, it was better than a Chris Brown joke).
But even the thought of A Rod being the prettiest girl at the dance is like a drag queen taking the her ensemble off during the contest……………mirrors, make-up and a little Hollywood glamour, but East Coast style.
Rays Renegade
Buz — Thanks for the suggestion! More on the way!
RR — Apparently, an umbrella ain't nothin' to her sweet bat! Didn't seem to get her down last night, though Utley was the big story… and another fella named "Cliff", of course😉
Well, it looks like I'm clearly in the minority, but I liked the second metaphor a lot better. If only because the first one made me throw up in my mouth a little. OK, a lot.
Erin — A little puke in one's mouth is good for the soul… I mean, palette… 'cuz it cleans it up a bit.

Woman admits growing pot in bathroom
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Windsor woman described by police as having an extensive history of drug involvement has pleaded guilty to growing marijuana in her bathroom.
Susan Clark, 50, made a plea agreement this week in White River Junction criminal court. The deal on charges of marijuana cultivation and violating her probation calls for a jail term of up to two years, which she will start serving next month.
She was arrested in May when probation officers, backed up by Windsor Police, found that she had a dozen marijuana plants growing in her bathroom at her home on Route 5 in Windsor.
Clark and her boyfriend, Richard Barbour, were both on probation at the time. Officials said they conducted the search after receiving tips that probation violations might be occurring at the couples residence.
Windsor Police Officer Jonathan Adams wrote in court records that when he arrived with his police dog Toby and the other officers, Clark immediately told them they would find a pot pipe on her living room table and plants growing in her bathroom.
Clark told police she used marijuana to help her sleep.
She was placed on probation two years ago after being convicted of selling heroin.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

By Kevin Wilson: CNJ staff writer
The New Mexico Public Regulatory Commission has received more than 700 comments about a proposed rate hike for Xcel Energy, a case manager with Xcel said. Most of those comments stem from false information, an Xcel spokesman said.
Xcel's Wes Reeves said the proposed increase, filed in May, is about 6.6 percent for residential customers — not 47 percent as a Portales banker claimed in a letter to his customers.
"We want to make sure people understand what we're asking for is not out of the ordinary," Reeves said.
The company's base rate is increasing from $4.75 to $7, according to company documents.
In an early November letter to customers, Portales National Bank President David Stone urged citizens write to the PRC in opposition to what he believed was a 47.4 percent rate hike. Stone said in a correction letter Nov. 15 he misinterpreted the base rate increase for an overall increase.
Bryan Kauffman, a case specialist with Xcel, said as of Friday afternoon, the case had 720 comments, mostly in opposition to the rate change.
Reeves said the increase on the base rate is the first in 21 years.
An average power bill includes the base rate, and Reeves said Xcel charges customers a "pass through cost" for the fuel used to meet the customers' energy demands.
Based on an average home usage of 1,000 kilowatt hours per month, Excel has said a bill with the new service charge would rise about $6.12 a month.
The base rate helps fund the company's investments in creating new power generation options and maintaining current ones.
"We're looking at a lot of investment. We have to invest because our system has grown, our demand has grown," Reeves said.
Reeves said he could understand how Stone or anybody else could make a mistake after looking at documents on the rate changes. He encouraged anybody to call the company for clarification on rates or anything else on the bill.
"It's detailed and it's more information than anybody wants to know, but it's there if they need it," Reeves said. "It's a little confusing."
Stone said he regrets giving customers misinformation, but doesn't regret encouraging complaints about the increase. He contends the economy is in a recession, and every dollar a customer spends on a power bill is one less dollar that goes in his customers' bank accounts or gets spent at a local business.
"If nobody contests it, they'll just get whatever rate they want," Stone said. "Quite frankly, Xcel is not my customer. The people who pay those bills, they are my customers.
"I was just hopeful maybe they'd make a smaller increase."
Kauffman said a hearing on the case is schedule for Jan. 28, and he expects a decision by the end of April.

"There's no 'clock watching' in our lab! The variety of assays I perform at IIVS is really interesting. Plus, we are involved in the testing programs from start to finish and learn how to interpret the data and relate this to in vitro toxicology. The daily variety and education I get at IIVS keeps me interested right up to the end of the day." - an IIVS biologist
The biologists at IIVS perform basic technical assignments in the performance of in vitro or cell culture studies. They typically have a BS degree in the biological sciences and are responsible for performing, recording, and reporting data from studies and generating GLP compliant reports. They perform peer reviews of data, reports, and batch records and use and maintain the scientific equipment in the laboratory. The biologists may also assist Study Directors or conduct some specialized techniques with moderate supervision.
The biologist training program at IIVS is designed to make each person competent in the fundamental techniques of in vitro assays such as micro-pipetting, aseptic technique, cell culture and microscopy. In addition to training on the fundamentals, each biologist is cross trained to perform a variety of assays and is educated on protocol choice and design. This working environment provides a flexible workforce and a stimulating role.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) will be the highlight of the event on Friday, Sept. 26.
"It's very unique and, in our perspective, significant," says Keith Arnold, the executive director of the 120-member chamber.
It's so significant that the chamber plans to invite guests from other South Texas communities to attend.
Premium tables go for $2,000 and sponsor tables for $1,000. Individual seats are $50.
Because the banquet will be in one of the hangars at the former Chase Field — the site of a national unmanned aerial vehicle-testing program — the theme of the event will probably center around aviation.
"By coincidence," Arnold says, "Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is speaking to the Bee Development Authority about its drone program on Sept. 17. That's 10 days before the banquet."
Adhering to the proposed aviation theme, Arnold says, "This is the quality of program and information that we want to bring forward in the future. Our hope is that this indicates the chamber is taking a new flight path, a new direction."
The chamber is accepting bids on catering the banquet on what Arnold says will be a "fairly informal, casual dress-and-food" affair.
In addition to Cornyn's address, the banquet agenda includes music, a State of the Chamber address and recognition of the Citizen of the Year, Business of the Year and presenting the chamber's Lifetime Achievement award.

You know supply chain functionality is important to the whole business, but do you know to what extent? Does your executive team? A Deloitte survey released this week shows that 79 percent of businesses with superior supply chain capabilities indicate revenue growth that is considerably higher than the industry average. In addition, 69 percent of supply chain leaders report company earnings that are significantly more than the industry average.
By comparison, only 8 percent of organizations with lower supply chain performance relate significantly higher than average revenue growth. Only 9 percent of supply chain "followers" show earnings that are well above the industry average.
The researchers considered superior supply chain organizations, "leaders," to be those with significantly higher-than-average inventory turnover and on-time and in-full deliveries. The factors that separate supply chain leaders and supply chain followers, according to the report, include
"While discussions of innovation often center on new products, those innovations also tend to be the easiest to imitate," write Deloitte's Kelly Marchese and Bill Lam. "Business model innovations can have much greater impacts for supply chains in areas such as reinventing networks, processes, services, and channels."
Overall, the report stresses the value of supply chain functions integrated with overall company strategy. The survey showed 56 percent of supply chain leader companies have their supply chain activities led by an executive vice president or a senior vice president. On the other hand, only one-third of followers had senior-level supply chain heads.
"There is no one 'right' supply chain strategy, just as there is no one right business strategy," Marchese and Lam write. "The imperative is for supply chain management decisions to reflect the overall strategy of the business—and within that, particular strategies for different customer segments."
For this report, Deloitte surveyed 421 executives in 10 different countries.
Moving your company ahead Consider the definition of "innovation risk" as it appears in the APICS Dictionary, 14th edition: "The risk of losing customers because another firm creates more innovative products." Based on the Deloitte research, I can extrapolate the APICS Dictionary definition and apply it to all areas of the supply chain—from business models and networks to services and channels, supply chains need to innovate or else risk losing customers.
Now think about the following idea expressed in the APICS Supply Chain Strategy Folio: "Many organizations have good supply chain strategy, but their leaders can't successfully implement that strategy. The ability to implement good supply chain strategy becomes an important competitive advantage."
It takes skilled and knowledgeable supply chain and operations management professionals to act as innovators and leaders within organizations. As the leading professional association in the field, APICS provides research, education, and certification programs that elevate end-to-end supply chain excellence, innovation, and resilience. Not only can APICS help you succeed in your career, it can help your company improve its bottom line. Visit apics.org to find out how to become a supply chain leader.

News Detail
Local Author Deirdre McKiernan Hetzler to Hold Book Launch at St. John Fisher College Sunday, March 24
On Sunday, March 24, the St. John Fisher College Irish Studies Program and the local chapter of the Irish American Cultural Institute (IACI) will host the book launch for Irish America Reawakening: The Eoin McKiernan Story, written by McKiernan's daughter, Deirdre McKiernan Hetzler. The launch will be held in the St. John Fisher College Wilson Formal Lounge from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. and will include a live performance by The Dady Brothers.
Irish America Reawakening: The Eoin McKiernan Story, which was just released by Borealis Press (Ottowa), is a biography of one the greatest Irish-Americans of the 20th century. Niall O'Dowd, editor of Irish America and The Irish Voice, called McKiernan "one of the most powerful voices in the history of the Irish in America, a man who, perhaps more than any other, created the concept of Irish America as we know it today."
McKiernan, who once chaired the English Department at SUNY Geneseo and was guest lecturer at Nazareth College, was a champion of the Irish language, a brilliant scholar, and a personal friend of Eamon DeValera, one of the important political figures in the history of Ireland.
He hosted two popular TV series on Ireland in the 1960s, which aired on PBS all over the United States. The response was so overwhelming that he was inspired to found the IACI along with his wife, Jeannette, and St. Paul philanthropist, Patrick Butler. The purpose of the IACI is to promote an intelligent appreciation of Ireland and Irish and Irish-American Culture. Among its many achievements, the Institute made literary awards in Ireland, established a research grant for American scholars to study in Ireland, brought Irish speakers and thespians on tour to the U.S., created a summer program for teenagers, and published a scholarly journal. The IACI has an active Rochester chapter.
McKiernan Hetzler is the eldest of McKiernan's nine children. She holds a B.A. from Nazareth College and an M.A. from St. Bernard´s School of Theology and Ministry in Rochester. In 1995, she took over the McKiernan Tours to Ireland from her father. She has served as the chair of the Rochester Chapter of the IACI, and currently sits on the national board. McKiernan Hetzler is a former Campus Minister at St. John Fisher College, and lives in the Fairport area.

Police: 5-year-old dies after ATV crash Saturday in Shaftsbury
SHAFTSBURY Police are investigating the death of a 5-year-old boy who died after an all-terrain vehicle crash on Hidden Valley Road in Shaftsbury on Saturday.
A press release from the Vermont State Police said Benjamin Prouty, 5, of Shaftsbury, was pronounced dead at the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington.
After the initial investigation, police said the incident does not appear suspicious.
Detective Sgt. Sam Capogrossi of the Vermont State Police said police were called around 7 p.m. Saturday because of a call made to a 911 operator that a child was not breathing as a result of an ATV crash at his home on Hidden Valley Road in Shaftsbury.
Troopers from the Shaftsbury barracks of the Vermont State Police went to the home immediately and assisted in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation until an Arlington Rescue Squad ambulance arrived to take the boy to the hospital.
Detectives with the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation initiated an investigation of the death. The childs body was taken to the office of the Chief Medical Examiner for a postmortem examination.
Capogrossi said no further information will be available pending the results of the autopsy and completion of the investigation.

The audience knows that the movie boss is not real and there is no reason to fear. So why do they so feel bad for the fictitious employees anyway?
Why does the moviegoer cringe when this supervisor makes his presence felt? The answer lies in the fact that these supervisors are particularly sinister, and watching them on the silver screen may bring back memories of similar work experiences.
Or watching these bosses may make people wonder if they will someday run into this kind of evil manager.
There have been some sweat-inducing bosses over the years, but here are a few tyrants who have stormed their way through the world of movies and made people glad that they do not work in that particular office.
No. 5: J. Jonah Jameson from "Spider-Man"
It isn't just J.J.'s disdain for Spider-Man or his determination to ruin him as editor of the city newspaper that makes him a bad movie boss. Rather, it is how he goes about his daily work.
Imagine a man who literally yells at each of his employees all throughout the day. Then, imagine him yelling at all of them again. This happens over and over again, and most of the employees cower or just run away.
Jameson (played by J.K. Simmons in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" trilogy) is the ultimate angry boss, and he makes sure that everyone in the room understands who is in charge. The audience may laugh at some of his antics, but there is no denying his lethal management style in the movies.
While J.J. wants control over his immediate surroundings in the media, there are some bosses who want to purchase the whole world ...
No. 4: Gordon Gekko from "Wall Street"
In the movie "Wall Street," the financial genius Gordon Gekko (played by Michael Douglas) is a bit of a paradox, but he fits the profile of someone who truly loves capitalism.
Gekko will either claw his way to the top or end up in jail, while taking a few people with him. The challenge with Gekko is that he is greed personified, which means that he will never truly invest in employees or care about their well-being.
Bud Fox (played by Charlie Sheen) discovers that Gordon is great to work for when things are going well, but Gekko is a pure terror when deals go bad.
Gordon shows that he is perfectly comfortable berating his employees, as well as beating them up physically if he so chooses. This may seem like a hellish boss, but imagine a supervisor who can drag an employee to hell ... literally ...
No. 3: John Milton from "The Devil's Advocate"
Some people like to believe that their boss is the devil, even if they know deep down that their supervisor is still a human who simply displays a few evil traits.
In the film "The Devil's Advocate," Keanu Reeves makes a startling discovery. His supervisor, played by Al Pacino, actually is Satan in the form of a lawyer (some find this fitting). That true identity of Milton pretty much trumps any complaints from other people about tough supervisors.
Milton leads Reeve's character down a slippery slope of deception and compromise to the point where he asks Keanu to help him defeat God.
Plenty of people throughout history have been asked by their bosses to do uncomfortable things, but this task goes a bit beyond accounting adjustments.
Milton is a devil of a boss, but the next she-devil of a boss might have him beat ...
No. 2: Miranda Priestly from "The Devil Wears Prada"

Back in L.A! & "Bluetopia" movie.
Back in LA after watching all four games in San Diego against my Bums! Bad loss Thursday! Corey Wade lost the game but it was a loss by the whole team. Too many runners left stranded. The team can drive us nuts sometimes with some tough losses but there we are back again watching them and feeding our addiction.
As my friend and I were watching our boys in Blue boarding the bus on their way to the airport to head to Arizona we were saying that if we would have planned it well, we could have taken off to Arizona! Is that insane?
James McDonalds did not fair well on his major league debut in Arizona. He left after 2 1/3 innings. Kuroda has been placed in the 15 day DL with a strained left oblique muscle. Erik Stults has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Saturday. Oy Vey!
Monday will be the home opener! I can't wait to be back at OLOCR (Our Lady of Chavez Ravine). The team drive us nuts sometimes with some losses but there we are back again watching them and feeding our addiction.
Between the four different weekends at Camelback Ranch and the 4 days in San Diego, I have been living out of a suitcase. I was reminded at work that I need to make a business trip back East. Maybe if I am lucky, I can combine it with a road trip.
Woohoo! I have been invited to the premiere of the Dodger movie "Bluetopia" on Saturday 4/18. Information about the movie Bluetopia here Bluetopia I met Tim Marx last year while he was filming at Dodger Stadium and also on road games. I can say that he sure was working hard making this film. I am sure it is going to be great!. I can't wait to watch it!
For the Ethierholics!
For Doguie's fans:
Rest in peace Nick Adenhart….

I caught a little of the game last night and was so happy to see my ex-Yankee Mientkiewicz in the lineup. Glad he made the team. I'm sure he'll be a great defensive addition for the Dodgers.
I am glad you mentioned Mientkiewicz (I call him eye-chart)! I meant to mention before how nice he was when I was at Camelback Ranch. He passed by the rope area where the fans hang out and I asked him in passing how his knee was. He stopped, looked at me and said it was better and he thanked me for asking. After the game that Sunday he gaved his bat to a kid. Right there I said "I like him!" and told my friend I was rooting for him to make the team. I like the way he plays the game.
Emma ~ We would love to meet you too. It might be easier for us to come to your seat, but here are where we are going to be seated:
June 1: 138 Loge
June 2: 11 Infield Reserved
June 3: 138 Loge
June 4: 23 Lower Reserved
Thanks for visiting my blog. Take care.
Go Dodgers!!!
I can get to any level at Dodger Stadium but you are welcome to come to my seats! I'll introduce to my friends there.
My friend and I both like "Dougie" for his style of play and he seems like a real nice guy. I like how you call him!
testing to see if I can say this word cojones
Weren't you interviewed last year when we were there for that movie?
Have a GREAT time tomorrow!!!
Go Dodgers!!!
Yes! I got interviewed but Tim sent me a wonderful email apologizing because he had to cut the film to 90 minutes from 220 minutes he had filmed. He said I appear toward the end during the coda after the loss to the Phillies. I am just honored that he invited me🙂.
Digs! Thanks! My friend that went to the gift shop yesterday said that Eric Smith announced Vin so it looks like he might be throwing the first ball!. I can't wait to be at the our stadium!
Go Dodgers!!

I am a 22-year-old college student and have been with 14 partners. Three of them did not wear condoms. I had an STD a while ago, but nothing since then. I also get yearly exams and haven't had sex in over a year. But I'm worried that I might have AIDS. I feel almost crazy thinking about it…and I'm too scared to get tested. What should I do?
Can I get AIDS in a hot tub?
Last week, I had sex with my new girlfriend…she said she's a virgin and hasn't been tested. We were in the bathtub and used a condom. After we had sex, I took the condom off and fingered her in the water. My penis was also under the water. If my girlfriend is HIV-positive, could I get HIV from being in the tub with her? Can HIV survive underwater? Also, do condoms provide the same level of safety underwater?
How long after unprotected sex should I wait before getting an HIV test?
I had unprotected sex with a girl and I want to find out if I have HIV. How long do I have to wait before I get an HIV test?
Is it possible to get STDs in a monogamous relationship?
I had unprotected sex before I met my current partner. I'm the first and the only partner of the person I'm with now. I recently went to a clinic to get myself tested and I have no STDs. If my partner and I just stick with each other (for sexual pleasure), can we still get an STD through unprotected intercourse or through unprotected oral sex?
I have HSV-1 and HSV-2...my partner has herpes, too. How can I safely give her oral sex?
I'm a man with HSV-1 and HSV-2, and I am beginning relationships with women who also have HSV. Are there any devices for giving oral sex to women? I know condoms protect in the reverse scenario.
Is it normal for me to have heavy vaginal discharge when I'm with my attractive friend?
I'm an 18-year-old girl and I find that I have heavier vaginal discharge every time I'm around my friend. We do kiss, but I seem to get excited just being around her. We could just be sitting there doing nothing, and I feel like I'm excreting vaginal fluid. I'm really embarrassed because I've never been in a relationship before. Is this normal? Or do I some kind of disorder or disease?
Are there any negative side effects of anal sex in men?
I'm a homosexual man and I've been in a very successful relationship for two years. I sometimes ejaculate inside my partner during anal sex. I would like to know if that's okay, or if there are any negative side effects? We're in great health and live a healthy lifestyle.
Is it okay to have sex during menstruation?
I had sex with my boyfriend on the second day of my period, and we used a condom. I've heard that it's bad for the girl's body to have sex during menstruation, because her period will stop after engaging in intercourse. Is this true?
Is it normal to bleed after sex...the first time?
I bled excessively after having sexual intercourse for the first time...is this normal?
How can I convince my boyfriend to use a condom?
My boyfriend doesn't like to use a condom when we have sex because he says condoms reduce his sensation. I know we should use a condom to prevent pregnancy and STDs, so how can I talk to him about it?

By Pam Zubeck: The Colordao Springs Gazzette
COLORADO SPRINGS — A recent spike in Air Force suicides — 10 in September — has leaders scrambling to find the cause after launching prevention programs this year because of a gradual rise.
"This rash has scared the hell out of us," Air Force Secretary James Roche said last week, conceding that officials are baffled. "We don't know. We just don't know."
The issue is a concern for bases across the country, including personnel at Cannon Air Force Base.
"Despite 10 suicide attempts in 2004, none have been successful thanks to the preventative programs in place at Cannon," said Capt. Andrea Leitheiser, chief psychologist for Cannon's 27th Fighter Wing Medical Group.
Leitheiser said Cannon takes a proactive role in suicide awareness and prevention.
"Twice a year we are mandated to give an Air Force suicide brief to all airmen … In addition to this brief, the Cannon Life Skills Center provides suicide awareness and prevention briefs to squadrons, shops and other organizations when commanders request them," she said.
Cannon also has a program in place that each spring extensively trains two people in each squadron — 40 in all — on suicide prevention, Leitheiser said.
"We realize this is not only a medical responsibility, but most importantly a community one," said Col. John Posner, Cannon's commander.
"Looking after one another is the best preventative action we can take. "
Secretary Roche, at the academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., last week for a meeting with four-star generals, said suicide has been a persistent problem for the Air Force. It is on pace to double last year's suicide rate. After recognizing the pattern this year, the Air Force adopted information and training campaigns to identify people in distress.
Although the Air Force historically has reported rates 25 percent lower than other branches, this year's figures put them on a par with or ahead of the Army and Navy, Roche said.
Roche said the September suicides involved white men, most 19 to 24. None involved airmen sent to Iraq or Afghanistan or those who have returned.
"Our kids are killing themselves at a greater rate than the insurgents are killing our kids," he said.
Roche said he and Chief of Staff Gen. John Jumper told generals last week to "bring attention to it." Each major command has been told to adopt prevention programs or take steps they deem effective.
The Air Force also will examine "what happens when we send leaders overseas as part of the expeditionary force, and they're filled in with leaders who think they're only there temporarily. They may not realize they have a tougher burden because they've got to catch up on how the young people think and behave."
Roche said the service will study what stress factors are contributing to the trend.
"We're bringing chaplains in, doctors in, personnel people. They're going at it," Roche said.
Civilian experts also might be consulted "to make sure we haven't missed anything."
Roche likened the response to the push for solutions to the sexual assault scandal, which broke in early 2003 after female cadets said the academy had ignored their sexual assault reports.
The claims prompted several investigations, the ouster of academy leaders and changes in how cadets live, train and are expected to behave.
They also triggered closer monitoring of cadet attitudes. In the first annual cadet survey, in August 2003, one in five male cadets said women don't belong at the academy.
In a voluntary poll given in March, the results were the same. In the annual survey given in August 2004, however, a diminishing percentage say women don't belong.
Roche said the results, although a step in the right direction, don't indicate that problems are solved.
Clovis News Journal staff writer David Irvin contributed to this report.

McMullen was living in George West from 2007-12 and maintained his registration throughout his residency until it was time for him to re-register on Oct. 9, 2011, according to attorney Deborah Branch. Although his indictment declares his lack of registration to begin on Dec. 1, 2011, Branch said it was on Oct. 9, 2011, that he failed to register.
The reason for the discrepancy is because sex offenders get a 30-day period prior to and after their birthdays. Branch said he registered once law officers got involved in early 2012.
McMullen was convicted on July 4, 1994, for the sexual assault of two children in Colorado. He was initially sentenced in May 1992, then there was re-sentencing in 1994, according to Branch. At that time, he was sentenced to eight years of probation and 180 days in jail. He was also required to register annually for the rest of his life, which he failed to do while living in George West.
McMullen was represented in this failure to register by Michelle Ochoa and Branch represented the district attorney's office for his failing to register. As a third degree felony, the range of punishment was from two to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
Jose Aliseda, the 156th Judicial District attorney, said that "although these cases are often difficult to decide, we agree that Judge Bauer did the right thing."
Branch said McMullen moved to Rockport in May of this year.

|Title: Publicly Managed Recreation Opportunities (Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2300, 2330, 2340)
|Abstract: The USDA Forest Service is responsible for managing its recreation program in compliance with the Agency's Organic Act (16 U.S.C. 551) and the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 6801 to 6814). Therefore, the Forest Service proposes to amend Forest Service Manual (FSM) chapter 2300, which cites the authorities under which the Agency's recreation program operates, as well as the overarching objectives, policy, and responsibilities under those authorities. Changes would be made in FSM 2330, Publicly Managed Recreation Opportunities, to conform to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act and to clarify procedures for development of recreation sites on National Forest System lands. This proposed directive would assist Forest Service employees in consistently providing quality recreation sites, facilities, and customer service to the 192 million visitors each year to the National Forests and National Grasslands. Additionally, corresponding changes would be made in FSM 2340, Privately Provided Recreation Opportunities.

The Department of Public Safety welcomed a new class of adult correctional officers Friday at a graduation ceremony and luncheon held at the Hale Koa Hotel.
Twenty-seven recruits graduated from Basic Corrections Training and 10 non-uniform civilian PSD staff members graduated from Corrections Familiarization Training.
Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald was the special guest speaker at the graduation ceremony.
BCT is an 8-week training that includes 440 hours of classroom time and physical training. Recruits learn suicide detection and prevention, first aid, CPR, crisis intervention, gangs and subcultures, use of weapons, self defense tactics and physical agility training.
CFT is a 10-day training that includes 80 hours of instructional time to educate non-uniform Public Safety employees on basic correctional practices.
"This current class of corrections recruits worked hard over the past eight weeks to learn what it takes to handle one of the toughest jobs out there," said Sergeant Avery Gomes, BCT Sergeant in Charge. "An adult corrections officer isn't just a peacekeeper in the prisons and jails. They are counselors, mediators, mentors and, above all else, professionals."
This is the last class to be held before the planned revamp of the Basic Corrections Training. The next class will not be held for four months.
"This class was postponed for a week so we could implement some of the improved physical skills training and classroom instruction," said Max Otani, Deputy Director for Corrections. "In the next four months, we will be updating the basic corrections training to give our incoming corrections officers, as well as current employees, the most current and proven training currently in practice around the country."
The graduates have been assigned to the following correctional centers/facilities:
Halawa Correctional Facility - 9
Oahu Community Correctional Center - 8
Maui Community Correctional Center - 7
Women's Community Correctional Center - 2
Waiawa Correctional Facility - 1

First time mom and worried
I introduced solids about 3 weeks ago on his 6 month b-day.
Here's his current schedule:
7:30am breastfeed
11:00am breastfeed and solids (carrots,potato,meat puree)
2:00pm (hit or miss) sometimes he nurses, but not much
4:00pm rice cereal mixed with 1/2 water, 1/2 formula, and apple puree
8:00pm breastfeed
9pm in bed and sleeps til morning
I constantly worry about him getting enough to drink and enough of that breastmilk nutrition. I don't know exactly how much he drinks because I breastfeed. He just doesn't drink as much as before solids and everything i read about it from the U.S. says he should be getting just as much milk now as before we started solids. His diapers are definitely less wet than before solids. He poops regularly and that looks like a healthy normal consistency.
I currently live in Germany and my doc here said that him taking in considerably less milk is normal. At his 6 month exam he was around the 30th percentile and she said that was underweight for him, and said to start solids right away. She advised me on what to give him and when. After two weeks of solids (he really likes eating) he was back up to the 80th percentile. She says when he's thirsty or hungry he'll let me know he wants to nurse. But I feel like although he acts happy and healthy, I don't know if he's really getting enough milk and liquids altogether. In the morning and last feeding before bed are a struggle against all distractions. I think i get about 8 good minutes of drinking out of him max before he just gets way too excited about playing and stops. The German standards are much different from the American ones, and I'm not sure why. Does my schedule look okay?
Anyone got advice?

What is LAMP?
"LAMP" is an acronym for a "solution stack" of free, "open source" software, the principal components of a viable general-purpose web server: Linux (operating system), Apache HTTP Server (web server), MySQL (database software), and PHP (a general purpose scripting language). The LAMP Hosting Service is used by campus IT professional facilitators in support of application servers for running pre-packaged and custom-developed LAMP-based applications.
What services does UITS offer?
UITS now offers hosted virtual servers that contain the LAMP stack for use by on-campus staff. The intended use of these services is a collaboration between UITS and campus IT groups to provide a stable web environment for MySQL and PHP based applications. Virtual servers will be created using a standard base image that can be tweaked at the user's request.
What are the criteria for obtaining a LAMP server?
- Prior to requesting a server each school (or dept) must designate a staff member to act as 'Facilitator'.
- Potential LAMP clients must have an on-boarding interview with the UITS LAMP administrator.
- An Operational Licensing Agreement must be signed prior to delivery of LAMP server.
How do I obtain a LAMP server?
Contact your school/department IT staff and ask to speak to the LAMP Facilitator. If no facilitator exists contact email@example.com.

Technical Resources
Ecological Science
/ Termination Time for Cover Crops
Loading Tree...
Technical Resources
by Jason Johnson, Public Affairs Specialist
Many of Iowa's popular winter hardy cover crops like cereal rye, wheat and clover, need to be terminated at least two weeks prior to planting corn and soybeans to minimize yield loss risk.
As beneficial as cover crops are, killing them is critical, says Barb Stewart, state agronomist with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). "Killing cover crops as late as feasible will maximize plant growth and residual nutrient accumulation," she said.
Stewart says, however, to be sure and allow at least two weeks for cover crops to decompose, release nutrients, and recharge soil moisture.
If spring is exceptionally dry, or if the long-range forecast predicts dry conditions, Stewart recommends terminating cover crops when they are six to eight inches tall.
She says small grain cover crops can reduce corn yields similar to the effects of continuous corn. "Plant chemicals called allelochemicals released into the soil can inhibit corn growth," says Stewart. "This is why terminating the small grain cover crops at least two weeks prior to corn planting is necessary."
Some cover crop species, such as oats, spring wheat, and annual ryegrass, typically do not survive Iowa winters. Brassica cover crops, such as radishes or turnips, should also winter kill in Iowa. However, Stewart says these plants produce hard seeds that can stay viable in the soil for years. "Scout each year in fields where you have grown brassicas," she said. "Hard seeds may germinate the next spring. Watch these areas for seed germination, and if there is significant germination from hard seed you may need to terminate them."
Producers can terminate cover crops with herbicides that are compatible with the spring-planted crop. Harvesting, crimping, or mowing can be used only if the cover crop is mature.
To maximize soil health benefits from cover crops, Stewart recommends terminating them without tilling the soil. "Cover crops improve overall soil health by adding living roots to the soil during more months of the year and increasing organic matter in the soil," she says. "Tillage destroys all of those natural benefits."
Farmers should not plant corn or soybeans into a living cover crop, or risk losing out on crop insurance benefits.
Iowa farmers planted more acres of cover crops in 2012 – about 100,000 – than ever before. By comparison, only about 5,000 Iowa acres were planted to cover crops in 2009. Cover crops are helpful in limiting nitrogen leaching, reducing soil erosion, suppressing weeds, improving soil health, feeding livestock, among other benefits.
