|(During Insertion) The NovaCath Integrated IV Catheter System integrates the safety feature, stabilization technology, extension tubing, dual-vented flash chambers, and multi-access flow control clamp for ease of use and safety.
The term innovation is all too often associated with market leading technology companies like Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google. Although these companies might employ innovative practices and have significant resources to pursue such initiatives, the fact is, much of today's innovation comes from individual entrepreneurs and small start-ups. Medical device innovation is no exception.
Tangent Medical, Ann Arbor, MI, recently gained FDA clearance on the NovaCath Integrated IV Catheter system, a short-peripheral IV catheter, and plans to enter the U.S. market in the first quarter of 2013. The commercialization of this novel, closed IV catheter system will place it in direct competition with three large medical device manufacturers in a true oligopoly. In just 40 months, Tangent Medical has evolved from having early product concepts, to being a venture-backed company, to having a highly differentiated commercial product further reinforcing that entrepreneurs and starts-ups play a critical role in medical device innovation. More importantly, it demonstrates that with the right product and the right business fundamentals, even a small company can challenge market leaders.
From Humble Beginnings
In 2008, the University of Michigan's Medical Innovation Center (MIC), Ann Arbor, MI, was entering its first year in existence, and had selected five fellows with a broad base of educational backgrounds and experience. As a member of this inaugural class, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to immerse myself into this three-phase curriculum that provided extensive knowledge on best practices in innovation, granted access to in-depth clinical immersion to identify unmet customer needs, and was guided through the process of evaluating things like technical feasibility and market potential for innovative concepts. Ultimately, it was the extensive clinical immersion and in-depth research of key stakeholders that lead to the final product concepts and decision to pursue the short-peripheral IV catheter market.
On the Road to an Underserved Market
During clinical immersion, the team identified more than 100 different product areas or clinical procedures that appeared ripe for disruptive technology and worthy of consideration. The team honed in on the practice of IV therapy and short-peripheral IV catheters, based on the size of the market and the knowledge that it was a largely under-served market. The focus was on the most commonly performed invasive procedure in healthcare today, through routine observation of sub-optimal clinical outcomes and patient experiences. The data showed that about 50% of all short peripheral IV catheters were experiencing complications, which negatively affected clinical outcomes, quality of care, and patient satisfaction.
|(After Insertion) NovaCath's novel design preserves catheter integrity by minimizing catheter movement and dislodgement. The internal 180° fluid path turn eliminates the need for an external J-Loop.
The problem and solutions were clear – the path forward was not. As the team moved into concept development it realized the importance of creativity, determination, and perseverance. Challenging the dreams of developing a break-through medical technology were patents, design challenges, material availability, and complex manufacturing hurdles. However, the shortcomings in current IV catheter products, the sub-optimal patient outcomes, and a medical segment that has treated innovation as more evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, kept the team moving forward.
Evolutionary to Revolutionary
The advent of the modern short-peripheral IV catheter began in the late 1950s. For the most part, the early design of the IV catheter consisted of an over the needle catheter and hard plastic cylindrical hub used to connect external IV therapy components. Since that time, there have only been a few fundamental changes in design, most notably, the advent of softer, more flexible catheter materials and the development of safety-engineered technology to prevent needlestick injuries. The irony lies in the fact that the same manufacturers that developed the market have largely controlled the pace of innovation and have left the market largely underserved and ripe for innovation. Overshadowing new product development and innovation was profit maximization, not uncharacteristic in this type of market.
George Kneller is known in the innovation and creativity circles for saying, "Creativity, as has been said, consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know. Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted."
Therefore, the design team wiped the slate clean, imagining a patient on one side, a bag of fluid on the other side, and a black box in the middle. Then, starting with this, the team asked, "If we knew nothing about IV catheters, how do you get this fluid into the patient in a way that is comfortable, stable, consistent, and easier on the clinician?"
In doing so, the team identified four major issues that drove the majority of the product design:
Short-Peripheral IV Catheter Failures: More than 350 million PIV catheters, are sold annually in the United States, with about 50% of these developing complications, often requiring replacement before therapy is completed. Poor IV catheter stabilization and the use of add-on J-loops is the root cause of many of these failures.
Occupational Exposure to Blood: On a daily basis, healthcare workers face the risk of occupational exposure to blood through needlesticks, blood splatter, and blood leakage from devices. Although there has been tremendous progress in the U.S. market with needlestick prevention, minimizing occupational exposures to blood splatter and leakage has been largely unaddressed with short peripheral IV catheters.
Variation in Clinical Practice: The practice of preparing an IV catheter for insertion required many components, many steps, and significant variation in the handling of the procedure. Clinicians struggled to standardize on best clinical practices based on the lack of available technology, sub-standard technology, or inconsistencies in deployment of these technologies.
Patient Safety & Comfort: The practice of inserting, securing, and maintaining an IV catheter can be difficult, posing a risk to patient safety and satisfaction. Routinely ranked as one of the top five complaints on patient satisfaction surveys is IV therapy. Whether it is the hard cylindrical hub that rests on the patient's skin, the use of strong adhesives or tape on sensitive skin, accidental catheter dislodgement, or IV catheter restart, there was significant room for improvement.
|The first and only FDA cleared safety catheter that uniquely integrates advanced catheter stabilization, next generation tubing management, passive needle encapsulation, and blood control on every short-peripheral IV start.
So, with all this knowledge, the team members set their eyes on developing a closed IV catheter system that integrated IV catheter stabilization, reduced risk of occupational exposure to blood and improved patient comfort while exceeding the highest standards of OSHA, CDC, and INS standards for patient safety, healthcare worker safety, and clinical best practices. This is where the design, the manufacturing, and the methods really came into play.
Breaking Though Barriers
The Tangent Medical team concluded that developing an innovative closed IV catheter would require developing and integrating multiple design innovations into a single, comprehensive solution to address the majority of unmet customer needs while eliminating the need for add-on products. The development of the NovaCath Integrated IV Catheter System occurred in remarkably little time, with minimal resources, and with tremendous success. However, success has not been without challenge. In fact, at times the team questioned if successful navigation of the challenges could result in development of a commercial product. Fortunately, determination and perseverance prevailed, overcoming the following challenges and subsequent successes:
|(After Insertion) A unique, built-in stabilization feature provides 360° of advanced stabilization while eliminating the problematic J-Loop.
Intellectual Property (IP): The first challenge faced was the extensive and extremely complex IP landscape. Fortunately, the support of a patent attorney from the start helped guide the thought process of where thoughts could not go. On the other hand, the team also found creative new design elements, which allowed work in spaces that previously might not have been pursued.
Ergonomics and Device Size: Knowing that changes to clinical practice were a barrier to adoption and device size could limit adoption for certain patient types (newborns to adults) and patient sites (hand, arm, scalp), the team developed enabling technologies (180° internal fluid path and 360° stabilization frame) to allow the integration of multiple feature sets into the device without compromising clinician or patient satisfaction.
Cannot Be Done
People that want to design cool innovative parts do not necessarily know the rules of injection molding. In order for the engineers to suspend disbelief, maintain an open mind, and develop creative new designs, the team needed to find vendors with similar mindsets. All too often, the easy response was to say, that is not possible. However, there was the determination to find the right mix of open-minded vendors to answer that it is possible.
180° Fluid Path Turn
Next was the intense focus on changing history and following the historical design of a straight fluid path. Even knowing that the internal re-direct of the fluid path would add tremendous complexity and cost to the molded parts, it was essential to the design of the product. Ingenuity in this area provided a fundamental change to the course of IV catheter history, allowing integration of advanced catheter stabilization and elimination of the need, or use of, an external J-Loop – all fundamental customer needs existing for more than 50 years.
Over-Molded Hub: Integrating known market and customer requirements into an integrated design that uniquely serves both the clinician and patient alike, was complex. The engineers faced the need for molded parts that were soft and pliable enough for patient comfort and integration of a flexible, 360° stabilization frame while also providing the rigidity of critical components to support manufacturability and overall product robustness. The need to over-mold a rigid plastic component with a patient friendly soft material, at reasonable component cost was not an easy undertaking. This was especially true when factoring in the need for certain parts to be translucent, others opaque, and the majority colored to support a clinician's use of colors in order to distinguish catheter types.
|Passive needle encapsulation and closed system blood control minimizes occupational blood exposure to the lowest feasible extent.
Design for Manufacturability: Developing a breakthrough product design and design for manufacturability do not always align. Quickly, the engineers found a struggle with not only part complexity but also the overall number of components required to manufacture the design. With the help of many outside vendors and consultants, a considerable amount of work went into improving the design using fewer, less complex components.
Setting New Standards
By pushing the limits of abilities and standards in the industry, there was resistance along the way. However, the design team at Tangent Medical successfully developed a product that looks to set new standards in IV catheter design, functionality, and performance. Recent customer experiences at the Infusion Nurses Society (INS), Association for Vascular Access (AVA), and Emergency Nursing Association (ENA) meetings have been nothing less than remarkable and only validated the belief in the company tagline: Innovate. Inspire. Infuse.
The overwhelming positive feedback and response of clinicians, and the industry at large continues to inspire the team. Every time a market leading company or customer asks, "Why did we not think of that," the team cannot help but to smile and be glad they did.

The Early Years
The Early Years
Police protection in the Village of Palatine commenced the year after the end of the Civil War. The Village Board saw the need for policing Palatine and moved on the issue April 10, 1866. Finding qualified candidates 140 years ago was as tough as it is today. The first two candidates for constable, Isaac R. Hale and William H. Dodd, both required reappointment after failing to qualify for their initial appointments. The manner of choosing the Palatine Police has changed over the years, the first two constables were Board appointed and until 1869 when the position became elected. When Palatine reincorporated in 1887 the job returned to one of Board appointment. Palatine officers today are appointed by the Fire and Police Commission following the successful completion of a two-year probation.
The modern Palatine police officer would not recognize some of the duties of the constable. One of the duties of the constable was building a pound for
housing horses, sheep, pigs and dogs and serving as the pound master. The constable also enforced the laws and ordinances of the time, such as animal butchering within 140 rods center of said corporate town of Palatine. Some things however never change; today the Police Assistants are responsible for securing stray animals and have dealt with everything from stray dogs and cats to the occasional horse that gets loose from the Palatine Stables.
Even though there are differences between the police of the 1880s there are similarities too. In the early days of the Village there was neither Finance Department nor Collector's Office to collect fines for violating ordinances. The constables collected all licenses due from peddlers and showmen, for which the constable was compensated 25 cents for each license issued. Unlike today's college-educated, well-trained officer, early constables received no salary and were compensated through fees received in the performance of his duty. For instance, he had to notify all saloon-keepers to close at 11 o'clock on Saturday evenings and received one-half the amount arising from fines collected. Officers today still enforce the Village Liquor ordinance, however, they receive no fees for doing so. Today the Police Department enforces animal ordinances for the safety of the citizens and impounds them for the animal's well-being. The early constables killed dogs running at large, buried them and received 50 cents, AFTER they were buried. Finally, early constables received extra compensation for guarding prisoners, today it's just part of the job; and as today's officers are easily seen at Village festivals, the constables served as special officers at the July 4th celebrations.
Night patrolman, night watchman, night policeman, marshal, village marshal, night police -- whatever they chose to call these public servants at the time, patrolling and protecting the village at night was their responsibility. The night policeman was also responsible for lighting the lamps until the early part of this century when electric lights were installed. At various times he cleaned and filled the lamps, took care of the fire engine and cleaned the Village Hall. On April 25, 1904 it was noted that the night police are to attend to the lower part of the Village Hall at all times and the day marshal is to attend to the second floor of the building at all times. Pay ranged from $30 per month in 1889 to $55 per month in 1912.
Unlike today, where the police can be summoned 24 hours a day by dialing 9-1-1, most of the policemen hired by the Village in the 1800s served as night watchmen. The hiring of policemen to serve during the day was an off/on proposition. Officer E. Fenton was hired in June 1890, as a day policeman for $100 per year. He worked from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday and was subject to the call of the Police and Lamp Lighting Committee. Some Village employees were known to wear more than one hat, in 1899 John Bergmann was appointed superintendent of water and streets at $40 a month; however, $15 of his pay was apportioned to his duties as day marshal. He and his successors seem to have continued in this role until 1912.
In 1878 the citizens of Palatine petitioned the Board for a lock-up, the fore-runner of today's Police Department Temporary Holding Facility. Money was in short supply and it wasn't until five years later that a site was bought for $30. The new lockup was located on part of the triangle that is north of the tracks, south of Wood Street and west of Brockway. The 12 x 14 foot building was built until June 1885, eight years after the process began. In 1896 a jail was made part of the newly built city hall on Slade Street. Today the lock-up is a modern facility with electronic monitoring and security devices.

Video: The GO! Experiment Coming Next Week
FSD + Enstrumental + Endangered Peace + Leaders
Filmed in the Spring of 2009, The GO! Experiment will finally see the light of day, online, next week (2/1). We'll be dropping a new segment everyday from Monday-Friday here on FSD.
For those who have been waiting on this project to drop, my apologies on the delay, we had a deal to release this in a different fashion, but we opted to go straight digital.
The GO! Experiment features many of Chicago's best and brightest emcees in the same room at the same time freestyling together as a homage to the final episode of Yo! MTV Raps in 1995.
Peep the brand new trailer (courtesy of Davy Greenberg) above to get an idea of what to expect. Mikkey Halsted, Rhymefest, Naledge, Mic Terror, Really Doe and Cold Hard can be seen doing their thing.
Look for Part 2 coming in Spring 2010.Andrew Barber 0

Colchester 0-0 Shrewsbury
- From the section Football
Colchester's fight for League One survival will go down to the final day after a goalless draw with Shrewsbury.
Scunthorpe's win at MK Dons means they are just three points behind the U's, who remain just outside the drop zone.
In a game of few chances Brian Wilson's drilled shot and a 30-yard strike from David McAllister for Shrewsbury were both saved by Sam Walker.
Colchester's best chances fell to Jabo Ibehre and George Porter but neither side could break the deadlock.
Colchester United manager Joe Dunne told BBC Essex:
"I'm furious. We were lacklustre, we let fear get in the way of everything. Big crowd, we got booed at the end and rightly so. To play like that when it's in your hands, low annoying."
"It's been in our hands for the last three games, we've picked up one point. We're staring relegation in the face.
"We played with fear, we gave the fans nothing to cheer about. There was a desperation about our play. It looked like we were waiting on MK Dons to do us a favour [by beating Scunthorpe], which they didn't."
"It now comes down to the last game away at Carlisle. There's a lot of jobs on the line next week."
Shrewsbury Town manager Graham Turner told BBC Radio Shropshire:
"To be mathematically safe is a relief to us all - considering the circumstances we've had this season.
"We had a lot of energy in the second half and defended well - it could have been better for us. Our young guys have done so well. They provided the boost that young players can give you.
"After two defeats we needed to do one or two things - and they justified being selected with their hard work."

pvc cement
after installing new pvc drain pipes how long do you have to wait before you can use them? I was under the impression it was about an hour for drain fittings but was told today to wait 24 hours. joe
Drain pipes should be good to go before you finish hooking them to the fixture/appliance. I repaired an 1-1/4" pressure line yesterday and waited a whole 15 min. before putting it on line. This may be different in colder climates.
Since you're only installing drain pipes (zero pressure), you should be good to go as soon as you make them up.
I also only wait about 15 minutes for pressurized supply lines, although some recommend the 24 hours.
pvc cement. Different codes apply to pvc cement. Meaning some will allow clear but other require the purple pvc cement. My town allows clear. But other towns require the purple so the plumbing inspector can see the cement was applied.

Wrapping up the Show Me State Games
The final day of the Show Me State Games
Today marks the end of the 2014 Show Me State Games, as well as the 30th Anniversary of the yearly event.
The coordinators of the games said there will always be a few hiccups here and there when you put on an event this big, but overall the games were a success this year.
Emily Lorenz is a coordinator of the event.
She said the end of the 2014 games does not mean her job is done.
"We work on getting the results and those posted to our website. All the athletes get really excited to see their name and see who won those gold, silver and bronze medals. Then we just got back to the office. We pack up all the equipment and get the tee-shirts back and everything back and then just start planning," said Lorenz.
Today, the Cobras baseball team played for one of those medals for the first time.
Shelby McMillen is an outfielder for the team and said they did better than expected.
"All together our team has done better than what anyone has expected us to do because we were expected to come down here and lose three straight but we came out of pool play 3 and 0," said McMillen.
Bryce Ross is the left fielder for the Cobras and said he has had eight surgeries and is currently needing knee surgery.
"I mean it's always a setback, but it's fun to do it if you have injuries. You just gotta put your mind where it needs to be and play baseball," said Ross.
This is his first time playing in the Show Me State games and unfortunately he ages out this year as well.
He said he was in pain, but that won't stop him from doing what he loves.
Smiling, Ross said,"You gotta go out on top right?"
The Cobras team is made up of baseball players in the Maryville, MO area.

Holograms: The New Laser Light Show
The Billboard Awards featured this hologrammatical (?) performance from the late Michael Jackson.
Of course, it's not the first time we've seen something like this. Here's Tupac as a hologram from a few years ago:
Here are the top 3 Hologrammatical (ha!) performances I'd like to see:
1) Elvis at Graceland
2) Ronald Reagan's "At Time For Choosing" at the 2016 RNC.

Trying to win a contract with a football team isn't like your average job interview.
Rather than preparing your CV, reading up on your prospective employer and sitting down for a lengthy chat with questions being fired at you about your goals, hopes and dreams you have to let your work on the training ground do the talking.
Sure, players can send in DVDs of themselves but they are highly edited versions of what they can do. In trials, you have to back it up in front of the manager - more than once.
Luke Rowe and Ian Hogg are about to undergo the process of convincing new Wellington Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick they're worthy of being given a job this season.
Both Kiwis have been given a gift-wrapped opportunity to impress following the departure of long-time left-back Tony Lochhead.
Rowe is a member of the club's school of excellence and accumulated two caps at senior level last summer and Hogg arrived in Wellington late in the season on a short-term deal and made six appearances.
Both sit in pole position to earn a contract as Merrick has only two import spots left for his roster following today's axing of Benjamin Totori and it seems unlikely he would use one on a left-back.
Merrick said he wanted to see more of Hogg, 23, before he makes a decision on his future but the All White is nursing an ankle injury in the short term.
Rowe, 21, has already had an up-and-down football career and the next two months might determine whether he climbs to another peak or has to start his ascent again.
"[Merrick] just said to me that he's going to give me every opportunity to gain a contract,'' Rowe said. "I've just got to try to grab it with both hands and run with it, really. Hopefully I impress him over the next few weeks.''
The Phoenix began their lengthy pre-season campaign on Monday and Merrick said he won't rush to a decision on whether Hogg or Rowe would be given a contract.
Rowe was cut from Birmingham's youth set-up in 2011 and was devastated to miss a spot in the New Zealand Olympic side last year before he came to Wellington as part of the Phoenix's first intake to their academy - although he was largely limited to Team Wellington duties last summer.
A callup to the All Whites to play the Solomon Islands in a World Cup qualifier in Honiara in March gave him a much-needed confidence boost.
"I'd say probably a month before last season ended I had no idea what I was going to do and then all of a sudden I got called up to for the All Whites and I ended up playing the last game of the season [for the Phoenix] against Melbourne Victory and it just sort of changed the whole thing around,'' Rowe said.
"That's what football does. One week you don't know what you are doing and then next week everything changes. But I feel like I'm on the up at the moment and I think it's the best I've felt in a couple of years.''

Is your online training mobile?
The latest Android® or Apple® iPad® tablets are remarkable for delivering online training and elearning courses. But if you're still building your training in Flash, you're missing out on a huge opportunity to enable mlearning for your training organization. Let's face it, Adobe Flash® just isn't an effective mlearning course development tool today – largely because iOS devices, such as the iPad, and many Android devices don't support it. In order to reach all the screens your employee are using, including mobile devices, you need to use HTML5.
That's why Xcelus' course development solutions include HTML5 programming. This gives your employees the ability to take online training either on their desktop or on their mobile tablet device, like an Android or iPad. Xcelus' HTML5 programming allows courses to be optimized for all mobile devices including the iPad.
Contact Xcelus today, and let's talk about creating or converting your eLearning courses to mLearning apps for mobile devices.

What a first class person (and player/leader) Aaron Rodgers is. Fun reading about his summer endeavors and wish him the best for the 2011 season (if and when?). Those big hands offer a lot.
The first things you notice are the hands.
Even from far away, it is apparent that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has good-sized hands. As one observer on the sideline at Zable Stadium called them yesterday, "catcher's mitts." Certainly large enough to wrap around a football like most of us wrap ours around a double-decker sandwich.
However, these hands have worked wonders. Five months ago, they were the key to precision passes to Packer teammates Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson en route to a rousing post-season performance of almost 1,100 yards and nine touchdown passes in four playoff games, the last a 31-25 Super Bowl victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The hands that held not only the Vince Lombardi trophy, but also that of the game's Most Valuable Player. The hands that might be holding an ESPY award in two weeks as either the Best Male Athlete or Best NFL Player, or both.
Not bad for a guy who was only 5'10" and 160 pounds, with no scholarship offers, out of high school.
What? Not true?
Rodgers bluntly interrupted the first reporter's (fortunately from another outlet) question at yesterday's press session, held inside the Laycock Football Complex, adjacent to the Stadium. "That's incorrect. I was 6'2", 195."
But the part about no scholarships may have been true.
"I didn't have any expectations coming out of high school," noted Rodgers, the star guest of William and Mary head football coach Jimmye Laycock's Colonial All-Pro Camp, which ended yesterday. "I was a realist. I wasn't a great player yet. I knew that I had a lot of hard work between where I was at and where I wanted to be, at a big-time Division I program."
Only one, Illinois, made an offer, as a walk-on. In a surprising move, Rodgers turned down the offer and decided to play at tiny Butte Community College, near his hometown of Chico, California. In 2002, after leading his team to a 10-1 record while throwing 28 touchdowns, other schools took notice. California, led by Coach Jeff Tedford, was one of them.
Immediately, Rodgers took charge of the Bears offense, throwing for almost 5,500 yards and 43 TD's in his first two years at Cal. In spite of having one year of eligibility remaining, the junior made himself available for the 2005 draft and fell all the way to the 24th pick before being scooped up by the Packers.
Rodgers was groomed to be the heir apparent to future Hall-of-Famer Brett Favre. However, Favre began his on-again, off-again relationship with the topic of retirement early in Rodgers' career, not leaving until finally being traded to the New York Jets in 2008, soon after talking himself out of retirement for a third time.
While many players may have faltered from the unwillingness of the mentor to leave, Rodgers only grew stronger.
"It (the experience) forced me to improve as a football player, but also as a person. I knew that the opportunity was going to come and I was going to have to make the most of it. People were going to be watching, and I knew that the way I prepared for that situation would go a long way in the locker room with those guys (teammates)."
It may have also taught the quarterback something about humility. Yesterday, the large hands of the quarterback who has thrown for over 12,000 yards over the past three years while posting the highest passer rating in regular and post-season history, was lobbing soft passes for hundreds of young campers, waiting patiently for their opportunity to catch a ball from perhaps the hottest hand in the NFL.
For the record, neither hand was sporting the Super Bowl ring that Rodgers and his teammates collected earlier this month.
Back to the camp subject, it would seem that Rodgers was simply emulating his own camp experience as a youth. Again, no?
"I remember being a kid in California and not having this opportunity. To be able to spend time at a camp setting, with college players and Clay (Matthews), Ndamukong (Suh) and myself (Matthews and Suh appeared on Sunday and Monday, respectively), it's just exciting to be here. Hopefully, we'll inspire the kids in some way because I remember being that little kid with a dream."
One parent, Hoss ("Everyone calls me Hoss," he said), brought his wife and children for the festivities. Although living on the Peninsula, both parents are from the Green Bay area, and were happy as Packers fans to be able to see Rodgers and Matthews. "We try to make it here whenever a pro player visits," he said. The children appeared to be in possession of a Packers helmet which may or may not have been signed over the course of the morning.
Looking at next season, Rodgers is hopeful that in spite of the lost time, his teammates and he will be ready when and if the strike ends.
"I miss the guys. I'm probably in the best shape of my life, but getting ready to play, whenever that happens." On the team front, he added, "I'm getting ready to begin my seventh year. Capers (Dom, the defensive coordinator) is in the third year with his system. (Head coach) Mike McCarthy is starting his sixth year. We're not going to lose a lot of players. We don't have to make a lot of adjustments as a team."
What a first class person (and player/leader) Aaron Rodgers is. Fun reading about his summer endeavors and wish him the best for the 2011 season (if and when?). Those big hands offer a lot.
Aaron Rodgers attended Butte College where I was dean of instruction. He was, and is, a fine young many who was, and is,
a true leader. We here in Chico are so very proud of him and for all he has accomplished and for the grace and style he demonstrates. He is an outstanding role model for the young boys and girls growing up today.
🙂 Huge grats to all in the Packer Org.What a fantastic year.The NFL does have a few bad apple's for sure.but 99% of the players are great guys who give back to the community.God Bless them. 🙂 Geezerman
Rogers is without a doubt, a Superstar. On top of that he is a truely nice and humble person. What a welcome change for some ot the usual suspects!
As a long time Green Bay Packer fan I can't remember being so excited about our team. They are all so special, from the top to the bottom. We are so blessed!! Just feeling badly about the long dragged out discussions. I know one thing. If it weren't for the Owners, we'd have no football. I can't believe any of the players are starving.
I just don't understand the players being able to dictate terms to the owners. As an employee I wouldn't even consider such a thing but would feel blessed to have such a job!!
As a life long Packer fan having grown up outside Green Bay, I just can not say enough about what a humble, thoughtful and classy person Aaron Rodgers is.Honestly, he has alot of the characteristics of a past legend in Packerland, Bart Starr.
being a packer fan of 43 years in North Carolina I have never been more proud or excited for my team and especially our quarterback. I always liked favre but never really loved him as our QB. I always was looking to Aikman or Young and wishing we could have a talented classy QB like either of these guys. When Rodgers stepped in for Favre when we were getting blown out in Dallas and nearly brought us back for a win i was ready for this guy to start then. He's a classy guy something i have never saw in Brett. He is a team player something the players will tell you Brett never was. I appreciate the years Brett gave to the packers but regret his last 4 or 5 he spent with us. Going into the playoffs and drawing all of the media attention to him talking about retiring rather than focusing on the playoffs. What a douche!
Rodgers is a class act and proves it with every Media article. Go pack Go and lets get this lockout crap cleared up! I've got to make my plans for the games i'm going to!
I congratulate Aaron Rodgers, the Packers organization and especially Coach McCarthy and Dom Capers for turning around a team that lacked discipline and focus early in the '10 season to win 6 straight games for SB45 title. Great accomplishment by coaches to make adjustments to schemes and personel to overcome the injury bug to beat the best in the league!!
I've been a die-hard fan and old enough to have seen Starr, Favre and A-Rod play in Lambeau. Couldn't be more proud of them than the character they showed last year. They do all of WI and cheeseheads worldwide proud. With youth of team and coach, QB & GM locked in for next 5 years we may be poised for another golden age in this great team's history.

The Red Badge of Courage HTML version
Chapter 14
When the youth awoke it seemed to him that he had been asleep for a thousand years, and
he felt sure that he opened his eyes upon an unexpected world. Gray mists were slowly
shifting before the first efforts of the sun rays. An impending splendor could be seen in
the eastern sky. An icy dew had chilled his face, and immediately upon arousing he
curled farther down into his blanket. He stared for a while at the leaves overhead, moving
in a heraldic wind of the day.
The distance was splintering and blaring with the noise of fighting. There was in the
sound an expression of a deadly persistency, as if it had not began and was not to cease.
About him were the rows and groups of men that he had dimly seen the previous night.
They were getting a last draught of sleep before the awakening. The gaunt, careworn
features and dusty figures were made plain by this quaint light at the dawning, but it
dressed the skin of the men in corpse-like hues and made the tangled limbs appear
pulseless and dead. The youth started up with a little cry when his eyes first swept over
this motionless mass of men, thick-spread upon the ground, pallid, and in strange
postures. His disordered mind interpreted the hall of the forest as a charnel place. He
believed for an instant that he was in the house of the dead, and he did not dare to move
lest these corpses start up, squalling and squawking. In a second, however, he achieved
his proper mind. He swore a complicated oath at himself. He saw that this somber picture
was not a fact of the present, but a mere prophecy.
He heard then the noise of a fire crackling briskly in the cold air, and, turning his head, he
saw his friend pottering busily about a small blaze. A few other figures moved in the fog,
and he heard the hard cracking of axe blows.
Suddenly there was a hollow rumble of drums. A distant bugle sang faintly. Similar
sounds, varying in strength, came from near and far over the forest. The bugles called to
each other like brazen gamecocks. The near thunder of the regimental drums rolled.
The body of men in the woods rustled. There was a general uplifting of heads. A
murmuring of voices broke upon the air. In it there was much bass of grumbling oaths.
Strange gods were addressed in condemnation of the early hours necessary to correct war.
An officer's peremptory tenor rang out and quickened the stiffened movement of the men.
The tangled limbs unraveled. The corpse-hued faces were hidden behind fists that twisted
slowly in the eye sockets.
The youth sat up and gave vent to an enormous yawn. "Thunder!" he remarked
petulantly. He rubbed his eyes, and then putting up his hand felt carefully the bandage
over his wound. His friend, perceiving him to be awake, came from the fire. "Well,
Henry, ol' man, how do yeh feel this mornin'?" he demanded.

A Family Guide to Concurrent Disorders - Part III: Medication
Medications are essential to many clients' treatment programs, but they are not the only treatment. In most cases, medications
are more effective if they are combined with some of the interventions that were discussed in Chapter 7.
Often, psychiatric medication will help stabilize people and clarify their thinking so they can focus on treatments such as
cognitive-behavioural therapy, group therapy or family-focused therapy.
Types of psychiatric medication
Most mental health medications are used to help restore chemical balance in the brain. This can help to reduce the frequency
and severity of symptoms. Medications are divided into four main groups based on the problems that they were developed to
Medications have a generic (or chemical) name and a brand (or trade) name that is specific to the company that makes the medication.
For example, the generic antipsychotic clozapine is sold under the brand name Clozaril. The brand name may change depending
on the country in which the medication is marketed.
Figure 8-1: Traditional uses for classes psychiatric medications
Click the image below for a larger view
Despite the four distinct classes of psychiatric medications listed above, each type of medication can be used to treat various
disorders. For example, a person who takes a mood stabilizer to treat bipolar disorder may also take an antidepressant, anti-anxiety
or antipsychotic medication to treat symptoms such as depression, sleep problems, anxiety or psychosis.
Figure 8-2: Alternative uses for classes of psychiatric medications
Antidepressants work via a number of different mechanisms, but the end result is to increase the level of communication between
nerve cells in the brain. While they were originally used to treat depression, antidepressants are also used to treat chronic
pain, bulimia, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome and anxiety disorders. In fact, antidepressants,
especially the class known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac, are used more often to treat
anxiety disorders than are traditional anti-anxiety medications such as Valium.
Mood stabilizers
Mood stabilizers are used to help control mood swings (extreme highs and lows) connected with bipolar disorder, and to prevent
further episodes of this condition. Lithium was the first mood stabilizer on the market and is still a useful medication. Other
medications used to stabilize mood include anticonvulsants, which were developed to treat epilepsy and other seizure disorders.
Treatment of bipolar disorder depends on the individual's symptoms. Bipolar disorder may also be treated with antidepressants
in combination with mood stabilizers.
Anti-anxiety medications / Sedatives
The main group of medications in this class consists of benzodiazepines, such as diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan).
While they are legitimate medications for treating anxiety and sleep disorders, they can become addictive if used for more
than about four weeks; they also have the potential to be abused (see "Medication abuse or dependence,"). An anti-anxiety medication that can be used for a longer period of time is buspirone (BuSpar).
Antipsychotics reduce the effect of dopamine in the brain. They are traditionally used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. The newer, second-generation antipsychotics are now also being tested
as mood stabilizers, anti-anxiety medication and even as a treatment for refractory depression (depression that is difficult
to treat).

2012 Kentucky Derby: Liaison may join I'll Have Another, Creative Cause in Louisville
ARCADIA, Calif. - As many as three runners from Saturday's $750,000 Santa Anita Derby are candidates for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 5.
As expected, I'll Have Another and Creative Cause, the first two finishers who were separated by a nose at the wire, are Kentucky-bound.
Trainer Bob Baffert still has Kentucky Derby hopes for Liaison, who finished sixth, but has sufficient graded stakes earnings to be assured a spot in the field. The Kentucky Derby field is determined by graded stakes earnings, if the race draws more than 20 entrants.
I'll Have Another entered the Santa Anita Derby outside of the top 20, with $151,000 in graded stakes earnings. He earned $450,000 for the win on Saturday and is guaranteed a spot in the race. He was awarded a 94 Beyer Speed Figure.
Sunday morning, trainer Doug O'Neill said that I'll Have Another recovered quickly from the Santa Anita Derby, the colt's third win in five career starts for owners Paul and Zillah Reddam. I'll Have Another earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 94.
"His legs are ice cold," O'Neill said. "He jogged 100 percent sound.
That's a good way to start the day, when you see that."
O'Neill said I'll Have Another's race did nothing to interrupt the colt's appetite.
"The only thing that would be a concern is if he left any grain," O'Neill said. "He eats like me."
I'll Have Another was ridden by Mario Gutierrez, a 25-year-old native of Mexico. Gutierrez had I'll Have Another close to the pace throughout and fought through the stretch with Creative Cause to prevail in the race over 1 1/8 miles.
The result of the Santa Anita Derby proved the form of the track's two major prep races. I'll Have Another won the Grade 2 Robert Lewis Stakes in a 43-1 upset in February. Creative Cause won the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes in March.
Creative Cause, ridden by Joel Rosario, was as far back as sixth in the first half-mile, saved ground for much of the race, and finished a half-length in front of the third-place finisher, the 42-1 pacesetter Blueskiesnrainbow.
"I think it was probably the best race he's run," trainer Mike Harrington said of Creative Cause. "Joel said if he'd been outside, he could have won," he said.
Harrington said that he would "probably" start Creative Cause without blinkers in the Kentucky Derby. The colt did not wear them in the Santa Anita Derby, for the first time in his eight-race career.
Creative Cause will stay in California until April 28. The colt will have his last major workout at Harrington's Hollywood Park base before traveling to Kentucky, and will have a minor workout in the days before the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, the trainer said.
Liaison was always toward the back of the field and finished 9 1/4 lengths behind I'll Have Another as a 6-1 shot. The winner of the Grade 1 CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park last December, Liaison had an unsuccessful winter-spring meeting at Santa Anita.
The colt unseated jockey Rafael Bejarano after clipping heels in the Robert Lewis Stakes and finished fourth in the San Felipe Stakes.
"He came back like he didn't run," Baffert said. "He never liked this track. He's had terrible trips."
Baffert said that Liaison will ship to Churchill Downs but must train well to start in the Kentucky Derby.
"I'll take him there and train him," Baffert said. "I hope to see a real improvement."
Pletcher & Baffert get most of the bluebloods, can see both dominating the TC races for next ten years. So Mike Smith takes daddy ns bst for yum brands ? What does he & Steve think, now the winners will come out of NM ? They have another curlin ? please ! lol.........cr cause & I'll have otro look like grinders, but won't get 50-1 giacomo
I like to get it from the horse's mouth...after one of Baffert's sponsors purchased a 2 million+ 2yo in training at Barretts, he commented about the purchase. He said the colt was a nice horse and Bob (buyer) just needs to win a grade one "to get out on him." That pretty much summed up today's training methodology to me. You just need to win one big one to "get out on the horse" I don't blame Baffert - he didn't create the atmosphere in racing today. The owners decide where a horse will run and who sits on its back. If trainers don't agree, then they have a way to "get out" on the horse too. The classic trainer's line of "Well find another barn for him" may not be sounded by many trainers today, but the business of the sport will dictate who is all business and who is still a sportsman. I really thought that Baffert dragged his rump to SA on Derby day to give his Blueskiesrainbows a little "pep talk", one might say, at 43 to 1. Who knows? I didn't. And even if I did know, I don't hear-tell those kinds of things - the odds might be lower, if ya' git me. But all's fair in love and war and racing to be first is no exception. Tell me, would you not bet a horse if you thought the trainer was a "butcher", especially at double figures on the board? Lead me not into temptation...
I can´t believe that Liaison is even being considered to run. Excuse me Mr. Baffert, but if he didn´t like the track it took you three races to find that out? Why didn´t you ship him out to another track and find out if his CashCall win was a fluke? This reeks of desperation in trying to get to the Derby and in the process ruining a good horse´s future for some instant moment of personal gratification. I am rooting for Bodemeister to win in Arkansas and Secret Circle to come in second. That way you will have 2 deserving horses in the Derby and give Liaison the regrouping he deserves. If Bodemeister doesn´t run well enough to get the graded earnings, I predict that Liaison will run in the Derby even if he practices one mile in 3 minutes. THIS is the reason why so many good horses are ruined pretty much before their careers even begin. Now watch Mr. Baffert run Liaison and win the Derby at odds of 50-1 and shut me up! Yeesh
Actually, I thought the horse who beat reveron (my pick in that race, arghh), was visually impressive, the way he came back on again from the inside after getting passed, but then I realize that he was ridden by Bo-rail, who has done that trick too many times to give the horse too much credit. Still, the colt was reaching out well at the finish, and he'll be ridden by borel, which has to be considered a positive in the Derby. I would say that if one could string together 3 distinctive positives for any of the contenders, it could well be good enough to find the winner. They have to be genuine race-specific positives involving the horse-of-interest, however, not just some vague belief. You have to KNOW (not believe) that 1, 2, and 3 are positive factors. If you get there, let me know right here. :)
Every single major contender has stepped backward so far, except perhaps creative cause, although he has yet to run really fast. A couple months ago I thought we were looking at a good class, but now it doesn't look good at all. If Bodemeister steps forward in Arkansas and runs a 100+ beyer he will become the favorite. Nobody can tell me that he's not baffert's first choice given the connection to his son. Throw in the mile and a quarter hurdle and all of a sudden it's 2005 all over again. Take a horse like liason. He could come alive in Kentucky and be a new hoss by the time the gates open. But where is the quality in this division? It's easy to say that Matz didn't have his hoss cranked up for the Florida Derby, but he's yet to run a fast race. Questions abound. I just don't see the quality jumping off the page. And hey, throw in a muddy track for the first saturday in may and all hells gunna break loose. Check out your mud breeding well in advance so you're prepared. Long live Go For Gin (whose mother was a mudder), the '94 champ ridden by McCarron, who had already won 3 times in the off going before the Derby. Back then the emphasis upon the "last race" was greater than it is today, accounting for his dismissal at 14-1 in spite of his obvious affinity for the goo. His mudder was a mudder I tell ya.
Can someone explain to me how I'll Have Another got a 94 Beyer winning the SA Derby and Gemologist got a 98 Beyer winning the Wood? I know there are certain things taken into effect other that actually clocking, but how many people really think the Wood was the stronger of the two? Admittedly I've been on the I'll Have Another bandwagon for months, but I still feel like he isn't getting the respect he deserves.
The graded stakes earnings list will determine who the most qualified is. CD needs to overhaul.
Please if this horse runs over some mote qualified runners tham it's a real joke. Give the horse a break and cut him back to one turn.
Really a 94 Beyer? What a joke.

Most plastic model cars that come packaged with a parts tree tend to come in around a 1:24 scale, fitting neatly in the corner of a desktop. This Aston Martin DBR1 from the restoration and fabrication experts at the Evanta Motor Company in the United Kingdom also comes on a plastic parts tree, but on a perfectly replicated 1:1 scale. Clear some space in your garage, as this life-size plastic model is over 20 feet long and 11 feet high and weighs more than 1,100 pounds. The price tag is a little closer to scale as well, as this unique model will be auctioned at the Goodwood auction in the UK starting at £30,000 GBP (approximately $46,000 USD).

Fires to save crops send thick smoke into East Valley
Thermal, Calif. - The overnight low temperature Monday night into Tuesday morning in Thermal was a record-low of 21 degrees.
To protect their crops from frost, many farmers in Thermal and Mecca set fire to hay bales around their fields, warming the air around their fruits and vegetables.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District allows farmers to set controlled burns, "necessary to prevent frost," when temperatures are reasonably expected to go below 40 degrees. An AQMD representative says nine areas in Thermal and Mecca notified the agency they would set burns Monday night.
East valley residents noticed.
The fires sent smoke into nearby communities for miles, making it difficult to breath and see, some say.
Oasis Elementary School is surrounded by farms.
"It's a concern because of the school coming in, and the smoke being so condensed here at the site," Oasis Elementary School Principal, Dora Flores said. "We feel that it's a health issue for our students."
Our viewers sent us video and pictures of smoke blanketing east valley farming communities Monday night and Tuesday morning. The health concerns from the smoke caused the Coachella Valley Unified School District to call a public meeting with the South Coast Air Quality Control District at Oasis Elementary Wednesday at 3:30 p.m..
"The teachers are trying to have some preventative measures so that we can make sure that we don't only save the crops," Flores said, "But we also save our students."
We spoke with multiple people off camera who did not want to go on camera because the agriculture industry in the east valley is so important. They say these burns happen every year when temperatures drop below freezing, but this year the smoke has been especially bad, and they say something needs to be done to lessen it.
"When the weather doesn't heat up as fast," Flores says, "Then the smoke just kind of settles."
While farmers are allowed to set the controlled burns, they are not exempt from causing a public nuisance from things such as smell and smoke.
The AQMD says a minimum level of complaints need to be filed before they will investigate. At least six different individuals must report the same incident in a timely manner, an AQMD representative says.
To report an air quality nuisance, call the AQMD's 24-hour hotline at 1-800-CUT-SMOG or 1-800-288-7664.
