What If I Don't Feel Forgiven?

2011 Ligonier National Conference - Session 5 (R.C. Sproul)
from Tim Challies Mar 25, 2011 Category: EventsR.C. Sproul began the second day of the Ligonier Ministries National Conference with a talk titled "Defending the Faith." This was a talk on apologetics, reminding us that every Christian is responsible to be able to defend the faith. Dr. Sproul spoke at length about Augustine and Augustine's attempts to defend the symbiotic relationship between faith and reason. Augustine wanted to reach an assurance of our faith that is at the level of certainty. Today most apologists believe that philosophical certainty about issues like the existence of God is a fool's errand doomed to failure. Augustine did not share that view and neither does Sproul.

Listening Before Answering
from Tim Challies Mar 24, 2011 Category: Tabletalk Magazine"It is arrogant to answer before you hear. Humility does not presume that it knows precisely what a person is asking until the questioner has finished asking the question. How many times have I jumped to a wrong conclusion by starting to formulate my answer before I heard the whole question! Often it is the last word in the question that turns the whole thing around and makes you realize that the questioner is not asking what you thought he was." Keep Reading

The Mystery of the Lord's Supper
from Keith Mathison Mar 23, 2011 Category: Book ReviewsRobert Bruce (1551-1631) is not a household name, even among knowledgeable Reformed Christians. He was at one time, however, one of the most important leaders in the Church of Scotland. He was the successor of John Knox and James Lawson and preached at the Great Kirk of St. Giles in Edinburgh. St. Giles holds a prominent place in Reformation history, being the site where Knox preached his first sermon on the Reformation. The Mystery of the Lord's Supper (Christian Heritage) contains five sermons preached by Bruce at St. Giles in February and March of the year 1589. Keep Reading

Anyone ever done a supercharged Wasserboxer?
I am considering (planning) to do so on mine.
The top end is new and the pistons are German OEM with new rings done a little over a year ago.
I want to keep Digi II and see if I can pull it off on a OEM pully G-Lader (will run ~6-9 PSI), possible non intercooled.
Who thinks this would be cool.
I had considered a subaru when I tore into the van in 2010 but could not make a hybrid brand vanagon.
I am tired of getting passed on the highway, not because I can't keep up, but becasue I am not interested in running 75 at 4300 RPM and killing my 20 MPG. If I charged this van, the blue shoebox would not get the pass and go treatment.
Who's with me on a G Lader 2.1 WBX?
I am almost done with with GTI CIS-E G60 so I know there is a way to make it work.

C.O. Latino education leader honored
REDMOND, Ore. - Mary Conde-Rivera recently received the Oregon Community Foundation's Latino Partnership Program's Community Leader of the Year Award for her work with the Latino communities in Central Oregon.
Conde-Rivera is the coordinator of the Oregon Mexico Education Partnership (OMEP) Program also known as Plaza Comunitaria, a collaboration between the Redmond and Bend school districts, the Mexican Consulate, COCC and the High Desert Education Services District (HDESD).
OMEP offers the opportunity for Mexican citizens living in the US to continue their education in Spanish using national curriculum from Mexico. Adult students are able to complete their "primaria" or "secundaria" certificates and many continue in their studies to earn a GED.
"Mary has spent countless hours building this program in both Bend and Redmond," said HDESD Superintendent John Rexford. "To get the program started, Mary went door to door to recruit participants."
According to Rexford, the program began with two students and has since grown to serve 30.
"Mary's passion for education and commitment to her students is extraordinary. She has been both a role model and source of encouragement to so many in our communities," said Rexford.
In addition to her work with OMEP, Conde-Rivera coordinates the HDESD's Interpreter/ Translator Program to serve Latino residents region-wide, including those in the Bend-LaPine, Redmond, Crook and Sisters school districts.
In this capacity, she recruits and screens quality interpreters and translators for school districts and regional agencies.
Conde-Rivera has also co-authored an interpreter training manual for ongoing monthly professional development to enhance the delivery of interpretation.
The manual focuses on the Code of Ethics, academic language and the Do's and Don'ts of Interpreting. It is recognized as a unique model within the state and her team recently presented the manual at the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators (COSA).
The presentation has led to many requests from districts around the state to present and assist with developing ongoing district professional development training for interpreters working in the school environment.
The High Desert Education Service District (HDESD) is a regional support system that links school districts in Central Oregon to state and national education resources. HDESD programs help districts minimize duplication of services, preserve local budgets and receive special programs that might otherwise be unavailable to them.

"Excellent Book!"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It offers a very fair neutral look at Martha Stewart.(One of my idols). I highly recommend it!
Factor Jota
"A view to Martha Stewart's life from the inside"
The author is Martha Stewart's friend and he makes that perfectly clear. That said, I think he does a good job at being impartial. Provides good descriptions of how it all started however doesn't go as much into how the business grew after a while.
If you want to know more and learn from Martha Stewart, I find this a good book to start.

Patriot students volunteer for Day of Caring
Approximately 500 Pequot Lakes High School students volunteered their time and energy to improve their community on Thursday, May 9. Some planted trees at the Corps of Engineers Campground at the south end of Gull Lake, others worked at the Crosslake Community Center and at the Corps Campground in Crosslake.
While other students were volunteering at the Lake Sibley city park and local fire departments and helping widows or handicapped residents with their spring cleanup, two junior students climbed the Pequot Lakes DNR fire tower and gave the exterior of the cab a new coat of silver paint.
No, this was not a prank. I am a retired DNR forester who supervised the work, and safety was assured as the girls reached out through the windows and used rollers on long handles to apply the paint.
It was all part of the continuing effort to assure a safe, enjoyable and educational experience by community members and tourists who enjoy climbing the tower to get a bird's-eye view of the lake country without having to go for an airplane ride.
The girls, Megan Glover and Bridget Erickson, gathered trash and spread wood chips on the walking path to the fire tower. Their work is greatly appreciated by our community.
Pequot Patriots have chosen to be part of the solution, not part of the problem!
Keith Simar,
Retired DNR forester

Bought it for my boyfriend & he put it to use as soon as he opened it up. Quirky Pivot Power works so much better than a regular power plug. With cell phones, laptops, a Kindle and iPad, we are always plugged in. Now our bulky chargers can all be in one place. If they made one of these with an extension cord, I would buy it in a heartbeat!
I also want to say that the brand Quirky is pretty awesome as well. My boyfriend & I had a good time looking at who invented the Pivot Power and how many people were product "influencers."
Overall, great product. I would recommend this to a friend. I would buy another one. (hey that's a good idea...)
We have bought two of these. SO much superior to the standard power strip that doesn't work at all with the large chargers for the devices we own. We have one by our work desk with the phone dock, the lamp, and the printer attached. One in our son's room with the tv, dvr, playstation and lamp. Highly recommend.5
Why did it take so long for someone to invent such a smart product? This is absolutely perfect for various items that I keep plugged in at my nightstand. Some of my chargers have bulky plugs, and it was almost like working a puzzle attempting to plug them into a standard surge protector. With this product, I can bend it a little, and even plug the big ones in right next to each other.5

I am curious. How do you check for mites? ether, alcohol or sugar shake?
I am curious. How do you check for mites? ether, alcohol or sugar shake?
Sugar shake and pulling drone brood. SBB's when I have time to clean the sticky board. But the inspector and I went through 5 hives and pulled every drone brood larva and found ONE mite. I think one turned up in the sugar shake. My population is isolated, and I had an accidental brood break of about 3 weeks on the cutout hive before my nucs came, had about 5 weeks brood break on the hot hive after I killed the queen and before they requeened. My nucs were vsh bees. They've done well, bought 2, have basically 4 hives of them now. (one is at my neighbor's)
Stuck in Texas. Learning Permaculture in drought, flood and strange weather. The bees are still alive.
Hopefully they can keep their genes from infecting the rest of the bee population. Until we really know what else it does.
And if it really works we can all buy our bees from monsanto for 5X the price.
Flower, it's a topical treatment or in this case, it was fed to the bees, has nothing to do with genetic modification of the bee. There is no gene expression either, the rna does not replicate.
That's good
Yes this is real good...Monsanto applying for a patent...We'll see how much bees cost when your queen mates with a drone with this newly acquired Monsanto DNA and your making splits and nucs for sale. Hope you have deep pockets. For all those hoping for a godsend this is not it. You will have to pay Monsanto to raise bees and if not pay heavy fines..can you control your drone yard? Good luck!
Think about it....Buy American
Spark, has nothing to do with genetically altered bees or patenting bees. The patent is for the sequence(s) of dsRNA's used which target mite genes, nothing to do with bees. The bees were just a vector of the dsRNA.
JRG13, probably should say it again.
Im wondering if it has sunk in yet,
As soon as the word Monsanto is mentioned, the same old opinions creep up.
I love the development that are being made here. Finally RnD money spent on the bee industry ! THATS A GOOD THING
I don't see it quite so easy as you do Ian. If you believe that Monsanto is going develop this product and give it away for free well...erm ah ... anyways hope they do.
JRG the primer is the bee it would be the easiest source to use to infect the mite with.
Think about it....Buy American
It has to be commercially available for any profits to be made on it. It has to be economically feasible for a commercial out fit otherwise it will not be bought.
If you would like to compare it to other types of poducts they sell,
those products were developed and brought to the market. Economics dictated the price point and the quality of the product dictated the popularity of its use
Ian I know all about making money, I am a business owner, but thanks for the insight into how money is made. I will also base my judgement of Monsanto on it's business practices aside from their making money schemes to determine where their heart really is.
We can agree on how to make money but never on business practices that border on criminal. Anyone for some E. Coli DNA spliced salad?
Think about it....Buy American
I use their product. It has advanced our ability to grow food. It has made me money hand over fist. It has allowed us to practice more sustainable farming practices. It has allowed us to minimize out tillage, saving fuel, saving the soil structure, and it has cut our pesticide bill in half, it has also cut our pesticide usage by 1/3.
Bad bad Monsanto
With a little RnD now being focused on the honeybee industry, we may just see some of the same advances as we have elsewhere in agriculture in relation to disease control. RnD is what the industry has been screaming for over 10 years now.
Most folks opposed to modern farming practices and products have never been exposed to the farming practices which were common back in the 50's and 60's. The norm back then was disk, plow, disk, plant, rotary hoe, and cultivate as many as three times. Chemicals back then? Oh yeah, lots of them and usually broad spectrum pesticides that fried everything out there. Lots and lots of herbicide that washed down out of the fields when the inevitable erosion occurred from the tillage practices. The amount of fuel used per acre was incredible but in those days ag fuel was probably around .10 per gallon. Today we usually see a single no till planting pass and a couple of passes with large spraying equipment. Residue from the previous crop are allowed (in most cases) to rot into the soil. The ground is disturbed very little. Newer hybrid seed has increased yields dramatically. Argue all you want about the ethics of big business but don't deny that without the technological advances in agriculture there is no way we could produce the food needed to feed 7 billion people.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
the advances over the last 50-100 years are quite amazing.
you should see how we worked GSP into equipment
the advances over the last 50-100 years are quite amazing.
you should see how we worked GSP into equipment
...the complaint I have - and a lot of others have, is when other people are trying to grow something different and Big Ag's pollen gets on other people's crops and other people have to shut down or get assimilated because their crops now have Big Ag's genes.
That's a hostile act by the Big Ag companies - and it is wrong. Big Ag took away someone else's rights just to protect their money.
Improve things ...no problem ...but don't stomp on what others want to do or want to grow.
but you want to take away my rights to use Big Ags crops on my land to protect your interests? Dont forget the rights of the land owners. Beekeepers dont own the rights to the use of others land. Beekeepers earn the privilege to collect the bounty from others land.
Ian if you feel that big AG's GMO crops are for you great but, you need to keep your open pollinated crops from transferring that DNA to others properties.
As far as the beekeepers earning any privilege ... well, erm ... just WOW what can I say, your a beekeeper right?
Think about it....Buy American
beekeepers bees going on your property is a right, not a privelage. otherwise it would be an incredible abuse of the concept of property rights. you might as well say someone else looking at your property is a privelage, not a right

The PAR Research Institute has studied and developed model part-time policies for law firms and in-house legal departments alike, which have been implemented nationwide. In the last five years, The PAR Research Institute expanded its study beyond issues of workplace flexibility to understand how compensation systems and performance evaluations affect women in the legal profession.
The PAR Research Institute was founded by Joan C. Williams and Cynthia Thomas Calvert in 1999 as the Project for Attorney Retention (PAR) and has played a leadership role in developing best practices to retain women—and to improve work-life balance for men as well as women–in the legal profession.
The PAR Research Institute's current research focuses on two areas:
New Models of Legal Practice. A market failure has existed in the legal profession for over two decades: many lawyers desire better work-life balance than is on offer either at law firms or in house, yet no organizations arose to fill that demand. Suddenly, in recent years, a wide variety of new models of legal practice have arisen that offer attorneys better work-life balance. These include:
Virtual law firms composed entirely to telecommuters who set their own schedules and annual hours;
Organizations that place experienced in-house lawyers in corporations, either for short-term stints or for longer-term engagements lasting many months;
Small firms, often composed of refugees from Big Law, that link better work-life balance for their attorneys with lower overhead for their clients.
With generous funding from LEXIS-NEXIS, Joan C. Williams and Aaron Platt, a graduate student in sociology from University of California at Berkeley, are studying new models of legal practice.
Double Jeopardy. WorkLife Law's signature approach to gender bias goes beyond the insight that implicit bias affects everyone to document in detail the specific ways gender bias affects everyday workplace interactions. Our approach documents the four basic patterns of gender bias.
Once the social science has been organized in this way, one can begin a project that is long overdue: to study how the experience of gender bias differs by race. WorkLife Law is currently doing ground-breaking research on this issue, exploring how the experience of gender bias differs by race among women scientists of color, with the support of a grant from the National Science Foundation.
The PAR Research Institute currently is seeking funding to explore this issue among women lawyers of color, as the first step towards integrating the literatures on gender and racial bias. Organizations and individuals interesting in participating in this effort should contact Joan C. Williams, at williams(at)uchastings(dot)edu.
History of The PAR Research Institute The PAR Research Institute was founded by Joan C. Williams and Cynthia Thomas Calvert, who had just resigned her position as a litigation partner at Miller, Cassidy, as the Project for Attorney Retention (PAR). The PAR Research Institute has played a leadership role in developing best practices to retain women, and to improve work-life balance for men as well as women, in the legal profession since its founding in 1999.
When The PAR Research Institute was founded, part-time lawyers typically were taken off partnership track and paid 60% of the pay for 80% of the work. The PAR Research Institute's model part-time policy, which keeps women on partnership track and pays them proportional to their hours of work, has spread to law firms throughout the U.S. The PAR Research Institute has provided resources for law firms to develop work-life policies and advice for individual attorneys seeking to work successful part-time schedules.
The PAR Research Institute also studied, and developed best practices, for in-house legal departments. The PAR Research Institute's influential studies led major corporations such as Allstate Insurance to completely revamp, and expand, their part-time programs.
The PAR Research Institute's focus gradually expanded to other issues relevant to women in the legal profession. In 2008, The PAR Research Institute wrote the new edition of the ABA Commission on Women's Fair Measure: Toward Effective Attorney Evaluations, incorporating both best employment practices and 35 years of studies on gender bias into a performance evaluation manual designed for law firms.
In 2010, The PAR Research Institute incorporated its signature approach to gender bias into its study, co-authored with the Minority Corporate Counsel Association, of the impact of law-firm compensation systems on women. This study provided a crucial tool for women partners to insist that their firms begin to benchmark the proportion of women among their top earners.
In 2007, The PAR Research Institute invited law firms and corporate counsel departments to join as members. Its highly successful membership program, which ran from 2007 until 2012, gathered best practices, reviewed law member firms' part-time policies, and provided teleconferences on women's advancement of work-life balance. In 2009, its Diversity and Flexibility Connection brought together the chairs of 12 major law firms with general counsel of 12 major companies to work together on increasing diversity in the legal profession by spurring the adoption of model part-time policies.
In 2012, Manar Morales, appointed as Executive Director in 2011, founded the Diversity & Flexibility Alliance, which took over the membership functions of The PAR Research Institute. Today, The Project for Attorney Retention's traditional role as a leading research institute on the study of the legal profession, and the leading author of best practices for the legal profession, is carried on by The PAR Research Institute, which is part of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.
For over a decade, The PAR Research Institute has studied the retention and advancement of women attorneys as well as work-life issues in legal employment. As a result of our research, we have developed best practices for law firms and legal departments in the following areas, which are available in the document below.

Death of Inmate Under Investigation
Another death of a detained suspect this time in Carter County.. Sheriff Ken Grace requested an OSBI investigation in the -custody death of a jail inmate early yesterday morning . Patricia Ann Wallace 52 of Marietta, was found dead in her cell at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning. Wallace was arrested by Ardmore Police overnight for DUI. She was booked into the Carter County Detention Center at 4:04 a.m. Wallace was placed in a cell by herself. The body has been sent to the medical examiner's office in Oklahoma City for an autopsy and a routine investigation is being conducted by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations. There is no indication at this time foul play was involved.
Ardmore Schools
Ardmore schools are asking for parents and community help in seeking the Next Superintendent. Associates, Inc., has been retained to assist the District in the search for our next Superintendent.
Meetings will be held to discuss plans and options, go to www.ardmoreschools.org to find out more information on the dates and times and also a way to give your input online with a quick survey.
Info Leaked
Both Texans and Oklahomans have had their personal information spread across the internet. The Oklahoma state health department has notified
nearly 133,000 people that their names and some personal
information may have been on an agency laptop computer stolen from
a worker's car last week. A database related to the Oklahoma Birth
Defects Registry was on the computer. The laptop was used to record
data from hospital medical records.
The Texas state comptroller says the social security numbers, some birthdates and other personal information of about 3.5 million Texans were accidentally posted on computer servers.
Most of the information was available for anyone to access for more than a year. In some cases, birthdates and driver license numbers were included.
Today the comptroller's office will begin sending out letters notifying those affected.
Tishomingo Trial
Trial has begun for a man charged with the rape and murder of a Johnston County teacher last year. 24-year-old Roy Zornes, Jr. faces first degree murder, rape, arson, and burglary charges.
Investigators believe Zornes, 19-year-old Angel Cassa, and 42-year-old James Baker raped and murdered 60-year-old Jane Bullard before setting fire to her Johnston County home last March, but just last month the state was forced to drop its case against Baker due to what District Attorney Craig Ladd called "evidentiary issues."
The defense contends Zornes is mentally incompetent, although the state found him fit to stand trial last year.
No Space Shuttle for Oklahoma
Tulsa is not one of the cities chosen by NASA to house a space shuttle after the fleet is retired later this year. Twenty-one museums and visitor centers were in the running to house either the Enterprise, Discovery, Atlantis or Endeavour and officials learned Tuesday that Tulsa is not one of the four locations chosen.
The Tulsa Air and Space Museum had put in a bid for one of the shuttles and had hoped to be awarded the Enterprise.
The Enterprise was the first prototype shuttle and will be sent to New York City.
The other three shuttles are going to the Smithsonian Institution, the California Science Center in Los Angeles and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Oklahoma Legislators Honor Soldiers
Thousands of soldiers with Oklahoma's Air and Army National Guard who are deploying to Afghanistan in June were honored by state lawmakers.
The Oklahoma House and Senate met in a joint session of the Legislature on Tuesday to honor current and soldiers with the Oklahoma National Guard's 45th Infantry Division. About 3,300 soldiers with the division's 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team are currently training in Mississippi and preparing to deploy to Afghanistan.
It will be the Oklahoma National Guard's largest deployment since the Korean War.
Governor Mary Fallin signed a proclamation declaring Tuesday April 12th, Oklahoma National Guard and 45th Infantry Division Appreciation Day.

Yes, it's different. When we hike in the Sierra, we don't see many couples hiking together. We see a lot of men, and a few groups of women. But plain old couples like us, not so much.
And it's funny what happens when all those men see M on the trail. P tends to hike a little faster than M, so he usually greets these hikers first. They are perfectly happy to be seen resting on the side of the trail while P hikes up and past them. All is well in the world until M comes around the corner.
The minute they see the lovely M hiking along, they make a great struggle to get going again. They jump to their feet, hoist up their packs, give a few grunts, and push themselves up the trail.
So now we are hiking along the trail, P in front, and a group of guys who are just killing themselves to keep up, and M hiking merrily behind them all. The only problem is, they often can't keep up the pace. And so, slowly and inexorably, M passes them by. She is slow and steady—but she never stops.
Her only hope is that they don't die of a heart attack while she does so. They gasp and wheeze, sweat and groan. M smiles sweetly at them. Well, sometimes she does.
They just don't want to admit that a woman might hike faster than they do—especially a woman of a certain age. (And no, we are not disclosing proprietary information. Let's just that we've been married well over thirty years, and neither of us is in the bloom of youth.)
It's true that there are a lot of people who hike faster than we do. We're happy to let them walk on by. And we admit that we often have an advantage, as our packs are certainly lighter than a lot of the packs that we see on the trail. It's always easier to climb up a pass with 25 pounds than with 45 pounds. Or sixty.
But none of that matters to those guys when M appears on the trail.
Go figure.Jan 17, 2013 at 12:21 am #1944597

I did a 110-mile AT section hike last year with some friends and ran into an older thru-hiker named Gene the second day we were on the trail. He was in his 60s but man could he hike. He woke up before us everyday in order to get an early start. We played leapfrog for three days — he would keep going at a steady pace while we would race past, only to tire out and have him pass us shortly thereafter. He was a great guy, and I sometimes find myself wondering how he's doing.
On my very first backpacking trip (60-mile section hike on the AT in Shenandoah NP with 45lb packs), we ran into another older man who was easily outhiking us. He had the same idea — wake up early and hike a long time. I first learned about ultralight backpacking from him; he had a pack much smaller and lighter than ours, but still maintained full functionality and safety.
Every single person in their 50s or older that I've run into on the trail has been in great shape and absolutely knows what they're doing. I can only aspire to be one of those guys in 30 years.Jan 17, 2013 at 1:07 am #1944602

Well, for some guys it's not wanting to admit that a woman might hike faster. But for a lot of other guys it's wanting to impress the woman. Ever since I read "Tales of Neveryon", by Samuel Delaney, I've always maintained that society has it all wrong… it's men that are designed to try to make impressions and dress up in feathers and makeup, not women. Most men want women to be impressed with them, and usually feel that women have little interest in them. Every other animal does it… why should human males be any different?Jan 17, 2013 at 3:58 am #1944612

Hi Miguel,
"Every other animal does it… why should human males be any different?"
"I've always maintained that society has it all wrong… it's men that are designed to try to make impressions and dress up in feathers and makeup, not women."
Come down to New Orleans this time of year and you'll see a lot of that behavior. It's Carnival time. ;-)
I have two speeds on the trail, slow and stopped. My hiking buddy and I usually maintain a 2 to 3 mph pace dependent upon the terrain. No one may deny us our right to take a break while we stop to refuel and "smell the roses". We've gotten to a point where the only people we care to impress are our wives and ourselves. ;-)

I loved your vignette. :)
I just finished reading the book "A Billion Wicked Thoughts", in which a couple of researchers studied the biology of human desire in terms of data they have collected from search terms used on the Internet. Fascinating read that helped me to understand the biological differences between women and men when it comes to sexual desire. It actually helped me to understand that we are just animals after all and that a lot of the behaviors from the opposite sex that perplex us make sense when you think of it in terms of sexual desire and evolution.

I think this is often a case of us having stereotypes predefined that skew our rational thought processes and it's not just men that do this.
I was on the receiving end of this on a recent trip as I chatted with a young female (30-ish) backpacker while we retrieved our food sacks. She asked me where I was headed and when I told her our plans for the day she responded, "WOW, that's really great! It's really nice that you can still do these kind of trips…). Now I know that it was somehow meant as a compliment… at least that's what I tell myself and I appreciate the fact that I am twice her age but it was very condescending none-the-less since she knows nothing about me. When I told my hiking buddy about her comment, he laughed and said "I'd like to see her try to keep up with you on the trail."Jan 18, 2013 at 6:31 am #1944946

Your thread is delightful!
A few years ago my hiking buddy (who is also my best friend's husband, as Emma detests hiking)arranged for a Rim-to-rim trip through the Grand Canyon. Besides the two of us, he also invited some members of another group he hikes with, a pretty exclusive men's hiking club.
When we met early in the morning on the North Rim,the other two men were furious (I don't speak their dialect, but I can tell ticked-off in any language!) He had previously told them what a good hiker I was….but sorta neglected to also add I was female. A loud argument ensued, with the two of them insisting my friend leave me behind as I was sure to slow them down and ruin the trip. He just smiled, nodded, and told them, in essence, "just wait."
By the time we reached the river, I had easily passed them up, and waited with some group snacks at the bottom. They were happy and surprised. We started trading trail stories and jokes, and quickly became good friends as they realized I wasn't going to slow them down. By the time we reached The Box, it was 112 degrees, and one got heat exhaustion. Since my background is medical, I was able to get him cooled down and he was able to finish the hike.
On the way up, the guys opened up that they were shocked a woman could hike so well. They had tried to get their wives interested but hadn't had any luck. A long conversation ensued, with occasional translation by my friend, as we discussed the differences between men and women, what we each look for out of our wilderness experiences, and how to perhaps approach their wives so that they would be more interested in joining them in the future.
We all finished a fantastic hike in great spirits and with new, lasting friends. That "exclusive" hiking club is now open to all. Even Emma has joined our hikes!
Adorning my desk is a priceless picture: the 4 of us, standing on that bridge over the Colorado river, grinning like crazy. Happy in any language.Jan 18, 2013 at 4:35 pm #1945107

I often hike the Cactus to Clouds trail to Mt San Jacinto. There are a couple of women who hike this trail frequently and kick the butt of about 99% of the men who try it. There are some "old" people who hike it and kick the butts of most people who are 30 years younger.
This trail has the greatest elevation gain of any trail in the continental US. Backpacker mag rated it the 5th most difficult day hike in the US. Skukra rates it as one of his 10 favorite hikes, with a difficulty rating of "very difficult."Jan 19, 2013 at 4:12 pm #1945339

Hiking is a sport that ages well. Decades ago, I had my butt kicked by 80 year olds on various summits and ski slopes. I'm halfway towards becoming that 80 year old.
On gender: I tried a long time to find hiking companions who could keep up. Lots of guys would agree to do, say, Half Dome and Glacier Point in a day or maybe Rim-to-River-to-Rim + Half Dome + that slot canyon in Zion in a 3-day weekend, but usually they'd bonk. Whereas the young women would never bonk, but sometimes, after the first 30 miles in a day, would get to a point where they weren't having as much fun and felt no compunction against stopping for the day. From that I concluded that fit women tend to have more endurance, fewer pain receptors, but more common sense. Whereas men had greater strength-to-weight, ego, and risk of being injured on the trail.Jan 19, 2013 at 7:14 pm #1945379

I see a lot of men, and especially young men, who get a little too much machismo going on and they crash about 80% of the way up Mount Whitney. I don't see so much of it in women. They seem to be smarter about protecting their bodies. Young men go faster, but then they burn out.
Of all of the people who have hiked up the Whitney Trail with me over the decades, the male success rate is about 90%, and the female success rate is about 96%.

One thing I've noticed (since I started hiking in the Rockies, at least) is that many of the women I pass (or pass me!) on the trails seem to enjoying themselves more than the men– many of the men have grimacing looks on their faces, are grunting quietly, are keeping their eyes focused on the ground, etc. The women are smiling, looking around them, checking out views, etc.
Sometimes, I get the idea that too many men see backpacking as a challenge ("I will conquer all that I face") and women see it as travel ("I will see and learn all I can about a new place").Feb 17, 2013 at 7:08 am #1955187

I like your observation.
I really started understanding the difference between men and women in the coed basic training I attended 17 years ago (Wow, I can't believe it's been that long!) Every time the drill sergeant gave us an almost impossible task to finish with limited time, the women would merely shrug their shoulders and start working towards the task. Every woman would volunteer to do something different and get to work immediately. Many of us (not all) would be smiling while working.
The men behaved differently as a whole under this kind of stress. There always needed to be a discussion on the "best" way to complete the task with several informal leaders arguing over the way to proceed. In the meantime the women would have it all done. I was fascinated to watch the men argue and not accomplish anything under stress.
Just my observations…Feb 17, 2013 at 5:03 pm #1955424

Thanks, Ken. Those are some bad assed hikes. I feel like a piker for only having done number 8, The Enchantments Traverse, 5 times. But their description is of the weenie route. It only counts for real if you start from the Snow Lake Parking lot and descend Asgaard Pass. It adds an extra 1200' of up and allows you to savor coming down Asgaard about 13 miles into the hike, an exquisite experience guaranteed to send the most discriminating connoisseurs of pain into paroxysms of ecstasy. Doing it in mid May makes it a downright sporting proposition. No matter the time of year, I'll bet it would be up near the top of the list if they gave points for natural beauty.Feb 17, 2013 at 6:12 pm #1955455

Ken: Thanks for the link. Interesting that none of the more iconic (WHitney, Half Dome, Basic GCNP to the River) trips made it. Rightfully so, as they are all easier.
And while Rim to Rim comes in at #7, Rim to Rim to Rim would be off the scale of these 10 "Hardest Hikes" and numerous folks on this picked that off a year ago (not me, mine was a 28-mile, not 42-mile day).
Still, I'll print it out as a "Death March Bucket List" to aspire to.

FDA Panel Recommends Approval for Abuse-Deterrent IR Opioid »

Lortab 7.5
Hydrocodone is a semisynthetic narcotic analgesic and antitussive with multiple actions qualitatively similar to those of codeine. Most of these involve the central nervous system and smooth muscle. The precise mechanism of action of hydrocodone and other opiates is not known, although it is believed to relate to the existence of opiate receptors in the central nervous system. In addition to analgesia, narcotics may produce drowsiness, changes in mood and mental clouding.
The analgesic action of acetaminophen involves peripheral influences, but the specific mechanism is as yet undetermined. Antipyretic activity is mediated through hypothalamic heat regulating centers. Acetaminophen inhibits prostaglandin synthetase. Therapeutic doses of acetaminophen have negligible effects on the cardiovascular or respiratory systems; however, toxic doses may cause circulatory failure and rapid, shallow breathing.
Pharmacokinetics: The behavior of the individual components is described below.
Hydrocodone: Following a 10 mg oral dose of hydrocodone administered to five adult male subjects, the mean peak concentration was 23.6 ± 5.2 ng/mL. Maximum serum levels were achieved at 1.3 ± 0.3 hours and the half-life was determined to be 3.8 ± 0.3 hours. Hydrocodone exhibits a complex pattern of metabolism including O-demethylation, N-demethylation and 6-keto reduction to the corresponding 6-α- and 6-β-hydroxymetabolites.
See OVERDOSAGE for toxicity information.
Acetaminophen: Acetaminophen is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is distributed throughout most body tissues. The plasma half-life is 1.25 to 3 hours, but may be increased by liver damage and following overdosage. Elimination of acetaminophen is principally by liver metabolism (conjugation) and subsequent renal excretion of metabolites. Approximately 85% of an oral dose appears in the urine within 24 hours of administration, most as the glucuronide conjugate, with small amounts of other conjugates and unchanged drug.
See OVERDOSAGE for toxicity information.

Industry News
Hair Removal 101
Hair removal, especially waxing, can be one of the most profitable services in the spa. It can also be one of the most overlooked. With the help of one of the industry's most knowledgeable hair removal experts, we'll be answering your questions each month, covering everything from the business of hair removal to the latest techniques and trends. You send your questions and we'll do our best to get you the answers! This month, Shala Dveirin fills you in on the latest trend in waxing.
Q. What is the latest trend in waxing?
A. With the Brazilian clearly here to stay, the latest trend making a splash is bikini art! From stencils to jewels, you can customize your client's bikini area to be as unique as their personalities. They may want a basic heart, star or arrow to more intricate designs like butterflies or the initials of a boyfriend. And taking it to the next level are color dyes. With Valentine's Day around the corner clients might opt for a bright pink heart or perhaps a green shamrock for the proud Irish. Is your client a brunette who has always wanted to go blond? There is no end to the choices of color out there. There are even do-it-your-self kits to send people home with. But don't stop at shapes and color. Add some bling to that girl thing. Not only can you create a heart shape, you can bedazzle that beauty with rhinestones and Swarovski crystals. And if you have a client who gets a full Brazilian and has no hair to shape or dye, this is a great service for them too. You can create shapes using the rhinestones or Swarovski crystals right on the bare skin.
Bikini art is a trend that is catching on fast and a great add on for your salon or spa. With designs ranging from $25 - $100, it's a great service for the everyday client or the special occasion visitor. If you're interested in mastering the skill of bikini art, many classes are available including Brazilian 3D from Adriel International. During the training you'll learn three methods of performing design shapes, the basics of color application, the art of gem stone application as well as how to market all of these services. To get a schedule of classes, go to perfectbrow.com or call 1-800-273-7126.

Send an e-mail to [email protected] and you may find your answer in the next issue of Renew Reports: Skin Care!Shala Dveirin is the president and founder of A-List Skin where she has used her experience as a physician's consultant and licensed esthetician to launch her own product line, REHAB – a complete post-hair removal skin care solution.

The first 25 episodes from the landmark BBC Radio series. Martin Sixsmith brings his first-hand experience of reporting from Russia to this fascinating narrative, witnessing the critical moment when the Soviet Union finally lost its grip on power.
Power struggles have a constant presence in his story, from the Mongol hordes that invaded in the 13th century, through the iron autocratic fists of successive Tsars. Ivan the Terrible, Catherine the Great, Peter the Great – all left their mark on a nation that pursued expansion to the East, West and South. Many Tsars flirted with reform, but the gap between the rulers and the ruled widened until, in 1917, the doomed last Tsar, Nicholas II, abdicated. The first part of Sixsmith's history ends with Lenin and the Bolsheviks forcing through the final Revolution and paving the way for the Communist state. Eyewitness accounts and readings from Russian authors and historians, from Pushkin to Solzhenitsyn, enhance this fascinating account, as well as music taken from a wide range of Russian composers including Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Borodin and Shostakovich. Martin Sixsmith traces Russia's turbulent 1000-year history from its founding to the Revolution.

"Very biased history based on western views."
There are two important things to keep in mind if you are planning on purchasing this book. This first one being that the author is not a historian. He is a BBC correspondent. The second thing to know is that the entire book is centered on a single idea. That idea being his theory, which is shared by many people, that Russia's default position is always authoritarian rule. Their history has destined them to always be under an authoritarian government.
This idea is not completely unfounded, but it spoils the entire story. The author picks events and aspects that support his thesis and speeds past everything else. It seems like every five minutes or so he reminds the listener of his theory. He picks events in Russia's history, portrays them in a way that supports his views, and then say, "I told you so". If you are looking for this kind of thing then I guess that is fine, but if you are searching for an unbiased, all-around look at the History of Russia then this book is comically bad.
Sixsmith's version of Russian history is a classic example of western bias when it comes to telling the history of an eastern country. Here is an affluent British man viewing the history of an eastern land through the lens of his current time and place. He does not compare Russia to other countries of it's time, no, instead he compares it with the western democracies of today and he never hesitates to criticize it. His criticism can be summed up in one sentence, "Russia simply isn't enough like US to ever be as good as US".
Many Russians have said that the west will never understand them and if works like Sixsmith's is anything to go by they might end up being right.
I would also like to point out that it is painfully obvious that for the revolutionary period Sixsmith rips off the work of Trotsky's A History of the Russian Revolution. This is hilarious because while Sixsmith rightfully accuses the Communist Party of misrepresenting history he, at the same time, takes Trotsky's work, removes his voice, and cherry picks bits and pieces of it to satisfy his own views.
Actually a collection of short episodes originally broadcast by the BBC: as such, it retains the dramatic flavor of a broadcast, with narration taking place in echoing hallways and outside in public squares and gardens; with different speakers for quotes (and sometimes, once it reaches the 20th century, the actual voices of participants like Lenin); and with tons of dramatic, thundering Russian music.
This is my first exposure to Russian history, so I have no opinion about its accuracy or scope. (The scope is epic in scale, like the country itself.) I enjoyed it, and it made me want to learn more about the subject, so I got what I wanted from it. Part 2 of the series beckons, as does the Great Courses offering on Russian history.
"Excellent introduction!!"
Top level,great insight from a reporter that covered Russia.
Great insight,easily understandable
Read the Part 2 to this, also excellent !!!
"Guy know his stuff."
I would the man knows what he's talking about.
The whole thing.
He didn't perform them realy, but I loved it the same.
Paul I dies, tear jerker.
Great for Russian history buffs to start with.
"Good overview, but it was made for tv"
As a previous reviewer has stated, the problem with this audiobook is that it was made for tv. It simply doesn't have the same effect when you don't have the visuals corresponding to the narration. This becomes very clear when, for example, Martin Sixsmith is in a library and therefore has to lower his voice. If we could see him sitting in the library with a huge history book, this would work much better. It simply works better on tv, when we can see people talking about different things in the corresponding locations. Instead, we just hear that he is in a library, but couldn't he have taken notes, and then recorded the audiobook in a studio? It feels unneccessary.
But with all that said, I really enjoyed this first part of the audiobook. It tells some very interesting tales - whether it's filled with facts, or if most of it is a bit vague, I don't know. But I do know that I was very enjoyed. However, as I said, I would have liked it even better if it was simply recorded in a studio. There's nothing wrong with using sound effects, but at times it can actually be confusing having all those sounds in the background with no visuals.
"Excellent - Explains why Russia is the way it is."
Clear and eloquent.
This is a clear and highly listenable history of Russia. History repeats itself and never more so than in the case of Russia. It helps explain the mind-set of modern Russia today.
"Russia in colours other than red"
Enjoyed the insights that Martin brings. He does throw light onto subtle motivations behind seismic events that I was never aware of when grappling with these century-shaping things. As such, you donw have to be a History bore to appreciate the passion and life in this great country's story,
"BBC Standard Documentary - Very Lightweight"
This is not serious history, it is dumbed down history for children. There is nothing wrong with the facts (what few there are) it is the style and presentation that makes this "audiobook" frustratingly poor. It is obviously a BBC documentary meant to be narrated with pictures and context and shown on TV, the sing song style of narration is direct from the BBC school of "how to make a program on anything bland and samey", and as I already am forced to pay for this via my license fee I am not best pleased, especially as I would be very happy to have Mr Sixsmith, a very knowlegable guy, do a proper history of Russia and not waste his talents on this guff..
This is because like all TV documentarys the actual guts of the program - in this case the history of Russia are padded out by interminable flowery descriptions of places and tiny snippets of factoids before we go somewhere else for some other "interesting" description of a church or a field or something - and another factoid, done so that 20 minutes of actual material can be stretched into an hours worth of TV.
This book in my opinion is made for TV and just does not work as an audiobook.

Fruit is the star in these low-calorie pies and cobblers that are sweet, tangy and the perfect finale for any meal.
Stone Fruit Eton Mess
This fruit-filled yogurt dessert topped with cookie crumbs is a tasty and healthy treat.
Blueberry-Peach CobblerUse peaches that aren't superripe for this recipe so they'll hold their shape when cooked. The baking dish will be brimming with fruit and topping, so it's a good idea to place it on a foil-lined baking sheet before putting it in the oven.
Plum CobblerWhether prepared as one large cobbler or in individual ramekins, you're sure to love the unique filling of plums, ginger, and lemon juice. Each serving weighs in right under 300 calories.
Frozen Blackberry-Lemon Chiffon PieThis pie makes a lovely, refreshing summer dessert with a true berry flavor. Garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint for a dessert that's as pleasing to look at it as it is to taste.
Honey Peach and Blackberry CobblerLighter than traditional cobblers, but no less delicious! Peaches, blackberries, honey and a flaky biscuit make this the ultimate summer indulgence.
Lattice-Topped Rhubarb PieRhubarb takes center-stage in this beautiful pie. Grated orange rind and ground nutmeg round out the tart flavor of the rhubarb.
Brandied Apricot-Peach PiesServe these mini pies as an after-dinner treat or an after-school snack. One of our on-line reviewers says, "I keep these (unbaked) in the freezer for my teenager to pop in the oven whenever he wants one."
Maple, Fig, and Marsala PieAlthough this pie showcases a sophisticated flavor combination of maple, Marsala and fig, it's quite simple to prepare.
Mango PieA fresh alternative to the classic peach pie, mango offers a sweet and juicy flavor that compliments the crystallized ginger and tender, flaky crust.
Mixed-Fruit CobblerUsing fresh or frozen berries makes this cobbler ideal for any time of the year. The addition of whole-wheat flour to both the filling and the crust adds a pleasing nutty flavor.
Pear-Cranberry Pie with Oatmeal StreuselA twist on the classic cranberry-apple crisp, this pie is the perfect combination of sweet and tart. You can use frozen thawed cranberries when fresh aren't in season.
Strawberry PieTreat yourself to a decadent pie with sweet strawberries, a chocolate cookie crust and a rich chocolate drizzle–it's only 239 calories per serving.
Cast-Iron Apple CobblerUse your cast-iron skillet to make this old-fashioned fruit dessert. It serves 10, but you can halve the recipe and use a smaller skillet if you're serving a small crowd.
Apple-Cranberry CobblerTangy fresh apples and dried sweetened cranberries make perfect flavor partners in this juicy cobbler. Use a food processor to make the reduced-fat crust.

Hi, My name is Martin and I live in Auckland, New Zealand.
I have had a love of the great outdoors and a fascination with all Gods creatures. I became a beekeeper September 2008, Southern Hemisphere spring,and my one Lang hive is doing very well in spite of my bumbling attempts. Fortunately the bees seem to know what to do, thank goodness!
I have made up the wood ware for a second Lang hive and a Top Bar Hive and hope to populate the two new hives in our early spring this year.
Thanks for all the interesting info, I find it very informative and help full.

If so I would love to see some pictures, before and after pics would be even better. What was the install like? Does it require any special tools or training to install?

Perhaps you've seen this recent tweet from The West Wing's fictional President Josiah Bartlet:
And it's true — the television home of Honey Boo Boo and her rural Georgia clan was once exclusively educational content. (Not that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo isn't educational … in its own way…) The network formerly known as The Learning Channel also isn't the only network to have strayed far from its original purpose. In many cases, money is money, and TV goes where the money is.
NASA, along with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, wanted to show how local education could be improved through educational technology. From 1972-75, the Appalachian Educational Satellite Project gave graduate credit to Appalachian teachers who used the free material delivered by satellite to develop their own courses. The Appalachian Community Service Network (ACSN) channel was then independently incorporated in 1979 and offered 64 hours of programming per week in 42 states by 1982.

It was a weekend of fresh faces and events at the Sochi Winter Olympics, which officially kicked off Friday evening. The opening ceremony at Fisht Olympic Stadium, in Sochi, Russia, featured the lighting of the Olympic cauldron, along with enormous set pieces, fireworks, dances, music, and more. The performances took audiences through parts of Russia's history and culture.
The ceremony also included the parade of nations, in which athletes from each country enter the stadium with their flag. In keeping with tradition, athletes from Greece—which hosted the first-ever Olympics—entered first and the host country, Russia, entered last. "I declare the 22nd Winter Olympic Games open," said Russian President Vladimir Putin at the end of the ceremony.
An estimated 31.7 million Americans watched the opening ceremony on Friday, according to the television ratings company Nielsen. Millions more in the U.S. and around the world are expected to tune in over the next two weeks of the global sporting competition, which features several brand-new events this year.
Style on the Slopes
Over the weekend, snowboard slopestyle athletes made Olympic history by winning the first-ever Olympic medals in the debuting sport. In slopestyle, boarders slide down a course featuring pipes and jumps while executing complicated tricks. American athletes topped the new event, with 20-year-old Sage Kotsenberg earning the men's gold on Saturday and Jamie Anderson, 23, taking home the women's gold on Sunday.
Kotsenburg secured the top spot after unleashing a trick he had never tried before. Called a "Back 1620 Japan Air," it involved performing four and a half rotations while grabbing his board and flexing it behind his back. "Never, ever tried it in my life," he told reporters, adding that he decided to do it three minutes before the run.
Kotsenberg was joined on the medal podium by silver medalist Staale Sandbech, 20, of Norway and bronze medalist Mark McMorris, 20, of Canada.
Anderson faced the challenge of landing jumps on a tough course that caused many of her competitors to wipe out. "I was freaking out," she said. But Anderson came through under pressure. Behind her, Enni Rukajarvi, 23, of Finland took silver, while Britain's Jenny Jones, 33, won bronze—the country's first medal of the Games.
Competing as a Team
On home ice at Sochi's Iceberg Skating Palace, Russia swept a new "mixed team" event in figure skating. The event pitted 10 qualifying nations against each other, with each team consisting of a male and female solo figure skater, a pairs team, and an ice dancing team.
Representing a country where figure skating once dominated the Winter Olympics, pressure was on the Russian team to win the debut event. With the help of 15-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia, the team won Russia its first gold medal of the Games. Lipnitskaia wowed the audience—which included President Putin—with her performance. "My trainers told me people would cry," Lipnitskaia said. "They told me they would be clapping to the music. But I didn't think the spectators would be so loud. But it helped me to perform really well."
Team Canada earned silver in the event, while the American team took home bronze—boosted by a record-high score from ice dancers Charlie White and Meryl Davis on the free dance. Figure skating athletes will return later in the Games for the individual competitions.
The Games Ahead
Spoiler Alert! Sochi, Russia, is nine hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Standard Time, so NBC—the official U.S. broadcaster of the Olympics—is airing many of the events on a time delay. Stop reading if you don't want to know what happened Monday, February 10, before it's shown on TV.
Monday featured gold-medal races for the super-combined, an event that measures all-around skill in Alpine skiing. Germany's Maria Hoefl-Riesch, 29, won gold for the second Winter Games in a row. The silver medal went to Nicole Hosp, 30, of Austria. American skiier Julia Mancuso, 29, took bronze—her fourth career Olympic medal in Alpine skiing. No other U.S. female skier has won more than two Olympic medals.
There will be more big contests in the week ahead, including the debut women's ski jumping event. Will Team U.S.A. continue to heat up the Winter Games? Stay tuned to find out.

People are being warned to be on the alert for job offers that turn out to be scams.
The Yolo County District Attorney's Office reported Wednesday that in one recent case, a Winters' man was victimized and lost $3,500 after using Craigslist to find a driving job.
The victim never actually met with the employer and only communicated using text messaging. The victim's new "employer" sent him two paychecks as an advance and told the victim to deposit the checks, keep a portion for himself, and wire the remainder across the county. By the time the victim learned that the checks were fraudulent, the wire transfer had already gone through leaving the victim responsible for the loss.
A second report involved a citizen receiving a United States Postal Service Priority Mail package containing an offer to be a "Mystery Shopper." Included in the package were job duties and instructions to deposit the enclosed cashiers check, take out wages and then wire the remaining funds to the person posing as the employer. This victim also was left responsible for the loss after he realized the checks were fake.
"Scam artists use clever schemes to defraud vulnerable victims," according to Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig. "In these examples, many of the victims are desperately seeking employment. The scammers use telephones, mail, the internet and wire services to cross geographic boundaries and trick unsuspecting victims. You can protect yourself by learning to recognize 'red flags' of fraudulent activity like being paid up front for work that you have not completed or being asked to wire money to someone you have never met."
The District Attorney's Office reminds those seeking employment that they should be very cautious when asked to cash checks or wire money for any reason.
It's recommended that people thoroughly check out any company offering you employment and get everything in writing. For more information on how to keep safe and avoid being scammed, please contact Enforcement Officer Derek Sorriano at the Yolo County District Attorney's Office, 406-4503.

Seven Ministry Health Care facilities have earned Quality Respiratory Care Recognition (QRCR) under a national program aimed at helping patients and families make informed decisions about the quality of the respiratory care services available in hospitals.
About 700 hospitals or approximately 15-percent of hospitals in the United States have applied for and received this award.
Ministry Health Care facilities earning the QRCR designation include Ministry Saint Clare's Hospital, Weston; Ministry Good Samaritan Health Center, Merrill; Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital, Marshfield; Ministry Saint Michael's Hospital; Stevens Point, Ministry Saint Mary's Hospital, Rhinelander; Ministry Door County Medical Center, Sturgeon Bay and Ministry Health Care's Howard Young Medical Center, Woodruff.
"The QRCR program was started by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) in 2003 to help consumers identify those facilities using qualified respiratory therapists to provide respiratory care, said Joe Rohling, manager of respiratory services at Ministry Saint Clare's.
Robert Asinas, manager of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation at Ministry Good Samaritan adds, "Hospitals earning the QRCR designation ensure patient safety by agreeing to adhere to a strict set of criteria governing their respiratory care services."
To qualify for the recognition, Ministry Health Care facilities earning the award provided documentation showing it meets the following conditions:
• All respiratory therapists employed by the hospital to deliver bedside respiratory care services are either legally recognized by the state as competent to provide respiratory care services or hold the certified or registered credential.
• Respiratory therapists are available 24 hours.
• Other personnel qualified to perform specific respiratory procedures and the amount of supervision required for personnel to carry out specific procedures must be designated in writing.
• A doctor of medicine or osteopathy is designated as medical director of respiratory care services.
• Hospital policy prohibits the routine deliver of medicated aerosol treatments utilizing small volume nebulizers, metered dose inhalers or intermittent positive pressure treatments to multiple patients simultaneously. Circumstances under which this practice is permitted is defined by policy.
• Use a process that periodically compares performance of your respiratory department on efficiency and quality metrics with similar departments for the purpose of identifying and achieving best practice.
The AARC's QRCR program grew out of growing concerns among health care leaders and the general republic regarding the safety and quality of health care services provided to patients. Hospitals that meet QRCR requirements provide a level of respiratory care consistent with national standards and guidelines.
Respiratory therapists are specially trained health care professionals who work under physician's orders to provide a wide range of breathing treatments and other services to people with asthma chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, AIDS and other heart or lung-related conditions. They also care for premature infants and are key members of lifesaving rapid response teams charged with handling medical emergencies.
The AARC is a membership organization representing more than 50,000 health professionals involved in respiratory care nationwide. A list of QRCR hospitals is maintained at the association's website YourLungHealth.org
