From a safety and quality perspective, infection control is one
of the most important — and least understood — concerns
of the HME industry. It isn't even mentioned in CMS' supplier
quality standards, yet the industry's accreditation organizations
will rightfully push infection control practices to the forefront
for each HME organization.
Several steps must be taken to be accreditation-worthy. Step one
is better understanding how infections occur.
There are things about the science of infection control that are
important and universal. We know how most infections are spread. We
know that some people are more susceptible to infections than
others. Finally, we know how to reduce the risk, or, in some cases,
prevent infections from spreading.
High school biology taught us about the infection triangle. The
three things that need to be linked together to create an infection
are the infectious microorganism (germ), the susceptible host
(patient or HME personnel) and transmission (spread of the germ) to
a susceptible host.
All of these things must be present for an infection to
Routes of Transmission1
The transmission of the germ to the patient or HME employee can
occur through one of five basic ways: direct contact, indirect
contact, droplet, airborne or common vehicle transmission.
Direct Contact: Physical transfer of microorganisms
(germs) to a susceptible host by body surface-to-body surface
contact. Most often associated with blood-borne or sexual contact,
this can also occur during patient care activities like turning or
bathing. Acquiring or transmitting infections via this route would
be a rare occurrence, since HME personnel typically have only
brief, casual contact with patients and their environment.
Indirect Contact: Contact of a susceptible host with
contaminated hands or object. This probably represents the most
common transmission route for HME personnel. It can happen when
they do not wash their hands between patient visits, or when
contact is made with a contaminated personal item such as soiled
clothing or bedding.
It can also occur when they come in contact with a contaminated
common-use item such as a TV remote, writing pen, child's toy or
eating utensil.
Droplet Contact: Nasal, oral, or conjunctival (membrane
that lines the eyelids) mucosa comes in contact with relatively
large droplets containing germs from an infected person that is
close by, usually within three feet.
Germs can spread through the air through an unprotected cough,
sneeze or talking — from a patient to HME personnel and vice
versa, or between HME personnel.
Airborne Transmission: Extremely small (droplet nuclei)
germs that are suspended in the air or dust enter the respiratory
tract. Unlike droplet contact, airborne transmissions are suspended
in the air for significant periods of time and spread by
environmental air currents.
Important examples include tuberculosis, measles and chickenpox,
which in the case of active symptoms or a confirmed diagnosis,
require that HME personnel use a protective mask.
Common Vehicle Transmission: Contact with contaminated
food, water, medications, devices or equipment. HME providers'
patients or employees can become infected by coming in contact with
contaminated equipment or supplies.
A variety of germs (bacteria, viruses or fungi) can be the root
of an infection. Certain germs serve useful purposes, but some
germs are just plain bad. Good germs can become bad germs when they
are introduced into warm, moist areas like the eye, ear or nose and
multiply into large quantities.
Germs can produce localized infections like staph infection, or
celluitis of the skin, or they can become systemic, getting into
the blood stream and invading the entire body.
Many things can affect an individual's susceptibility to
infections. Stress, nutrition, genetic makeup and pre-existing
disease can all play a part. Any person (patient or HME employee!)
can act as a susceptible host for infectious agents. Individuals
with low white blood cell counts, such as those with leukemia or
patients with debilitating COPD are, by the very nature of their
disease, more susceptible to infections than a healthy person.
Breaking the Link: Hand Hygiene
In an effort to reduce the number of nosocomial infections, the
Centers for Disease Control developed the following guidelines for
hand hygiene.2 The term "nosocomial"
classically means a hospital-acquired infection, but the basics of
hand hygiene for anyone caring for the sick also apply to HME.
Hand washing with soap and water continues to be the most
sensible strategy for hand hygiene in non-health care settings.
When health care personnel's hands are visibly soiled, they should
take the time to wash up.
Proper hand-washing technique includes washing with soap and
water using plenty of lather and friction for 15 seconds, or about
the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday!" Cover all
surfaces of the hands, including palms, in between the fingers and
under fingernails, the backs of the hands and around the
If hands are not visibly soiled or if running water is not
available, then an alcohol hand sanitizer can be used.
Use of alcohol-based hand rubs can address some of the
obstacles that health care professionals, such as HME
technicians, face when taking care of patients.
These hand rubs can significantly reduce the number of
microorganisms on skin and are fast-acting. When using an
alcohol-based hand rub, apply the product to the palm of one hand
and rub both hands together, covering all surfaces of hands and
fingers, until they are dry.
Note that the volume of rub needed to reduce the number of
bacteria on hands varies by product.
Health care personnel should avoid wearing artificial nails
and keep natural nails less than one-quarter inch long if they
care for patients at high risk of acquiring infections.
The use of gloves does not eliminate the need for hand hygiene.
Likewise, the use of hand hygiene does not eliminate the need for
gloves. When used correctly, gloves can reduce hand
contamination by 70 to 80 percent, prevent cross-contamination and
protect patients and health care personnel from infection.
Note: HME personnel should use gloves when making contact with
blood or body fluids, non-intact skin, mucus membranes or visually
contaminated surfaces. During a typical work day for most HME
providers, these situations would be rare. For guidelines on
appropriate use of gloves for HME employees, read on.
Hand rubs should be used before and after contact with each
patient, just as gloves should be changed before and after each
patient visit when appropriate.
The Issue of Gloves
When should HME personnel use gloves?
The proper use of protective, clean, non-sterile gloves is
something else often misunderstood by some in HME. In many
situations, home care professionals — delivery techs and
therapists included — gain a false sense of security,
believing that by wearing gloves they will neither transmit nor be
susceptible to infections.
Some HME providers compound the misunderstanding of how
infections are transmitted by instructing personnel to put on
gloves before entering a patient's home. However, simply adding a
layer to the skin will not prevent the spread of infections.
Use clean, non-sterile gloves:
If you feel you might come in direct contact with blood or body
fluids. Examples include urine, feces, mucus and non-intact skin.
(Body sweat is not included in this group.)
When handling visually soiled or contaminated equipment.
As you feel the need for personal protection from getting your
hands "dirty."
When you see something you don't want to touch: dirt, grime and,
of course, blood and body fluids.
When you have cuts or sores on your hands that may introduce
germs that would set you up for a localized infection.
Gloves are not needed to do routine HME procedures, like opening
the door, shaking the patient's hand, handling the service
clipboard, delivering equipment and supplies or picking up
equipment that is not visually contaminated.
There is no sound infection control science for HME personnel to
wear gloves except as described.
Accreditation will require that reasonable infection control
practices be in place. Understanding the basics is the first step
to quality and safety. Using a professional approach to hand
hygiene and a common-sense use of gloves can help in establishing
an effective infection control program.

When should HME personnel disinfect their hands?
Before and after each patient contact. For delivery techs
and respiratory therapists, that typically means washing hands in
the patient's home before they leave, or using an alcohol rub when
they get back to their vehicle before driving on to the next home

If one is interested in finding a nice country which welcomes those who are in their seventies and above, let me suggest a visit to the island of Cuba, whose new name is: Old Folks Inc. Fidel Castro is pushing 84, his "kid brother," Raul is 79, and Raul's new side kick is only 80. The first Congress in Cuba for over 14 years got around to having those who could actually stand up to come to the podium and receive accolades for their wonderful work in transforming Cuba into the world's first elderly disfunctional society. The economy is going no place, people try to get by, if you are gay or lesbian or have some negative feelings toward the old men who lead the nation, a pleasant visit to the nearest prison should help get your head straightened out.
Fidel told the Congress how happy he was to have received so many compliments on his fine work in keeping the economy stumbling along. "I never thought I would live so many years," he announced. We have a hunch, there are many in Cuba who wish he had NOT lived so many years.

The Tennessee men's tennis team dropped the first match of its spring break trip to 15th-ranked Miami 7-0 on Monday afternoon at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center to fall to 7-4 on the season.
"I want to give a lot of credit to Miami; they played a great match, up and down the lineup. They have an exceptional team this year," head coach Chris Mahony said. "Having said that, I was very disappointed with the way we faded at the end of the match, both physically and mentally. It was unacceptable and the situation will be addressed immediately.
Tennessee's only win of the day game at No. 1 doubles where Adam Hubble and Ben Rogers defeated Luigi D'Agord and Daniel Vallverdu 8-5. The Hurricanes won the doubles point by capturing the other two doubles matches.
The Vols started off singles play by capturing the first set in four of the seven matches. But Tennessee could not finish off any of those matches. Bobby Cameron, the defending SEC player of the week, fell to D'Agord, ranked 11th in the nation, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 at the No. 1 position. Kaden Hensel lost to Vallverdu 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 at the No. 2 position.
Kiril Tcherveniachki lost at No. 3 singles 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 to Tim Krebs. Ben Rogers lost in a third-set super tiebreaker to Eric Hechtman 4-6, 6-4, 1-0.
Freshman Hubble and Derek Stephens also lost at No. 5 and 6 singles. Hubble fell to Vivek Subramanian 6-4, 6-4. John Hoyes defeated Stephens 7-6, 7-5.
The Vols are in action again on Wednesday when they play at Florida Atlantic in their final non-conference match of the season.

Endangered (edition 2012)

Endangered by Eliot Schrefer
No current Talk conversations about this book.
"When Sophie has to visit her mother at her sanctuary for bonobos, she not thrilled to be there. Then Otto, an infant bonobo, comes into her life, and for the first time she feels responsible for another creature. But peace does not last long for Sophie and Otto. Wehn an armed revolution breaks out in the country, the sanctuary is attacked and the two of them must escape unprepared into the jungle. Caught in the crosshairs of a lethal conflict, they must struggle to keep safe, to eat and live." (back cover) 2012 N Book Award finalist; Green Earth Book Award; ALA Best Fiction for YA Choice
Realistic teen character who struggles in her relationship with her mother, but learns to become "mother" to a baby bonobo, so much so she cannot leave him to the rebels invading the sanctuary, certain he will be chased down and killed for meat. Fascinating details of life in Congo, bonobo behavior and the political /economic challenges of the Congolese. While the ominous threat of the soldiers to Sophie is addressed when she's captured, it is still not graphic or tasteless - YA readers will root for Otto and Sophie, and if they can also accept the heavy detail (to explain Congolese ways and bonobo life) find it an exciting read.
One of the many things I really appreciated about this novel is that Otto is firmly a bonobo for the whole book - not a pseudo human. His actions and emotions are strictly animal and Sophie's interactions with him reflect that divide. He wears no diapers, is not dressed in human clothes and does not know sign language.
The war in the Congo and the parlous state of its inhabitants drive the action and force Sophie to make some heart-breaking choices. Sophie is told by numerous characters that she should forget the apes and concentrate on the plight of the people, but the bond forged between her and Otto is one any animal-lover will recognise. She is a typical impetuous teenager at the start of the novel, not understanding that buying Otto from a poacher would only encourage him to take more animals, but she grows up during the course of the novel. I found some of her escapes a little unbelievable, but, on the whole the action is tempered with descriptions of Sophie's and Otto's interactions and descriptions of the Congo's political situation.
This is a boring review of a fast-paced, interesting, emotional, heart-breaking and over all satisfying novel that will be a favourite.
I loved Endangered! It's a very powerfully written story that is informative and eye opening. It's not the kind of book that shies away from the stark violence that people engage towards each other and animals every day. It's not the most intense violent book out there but it doesn't sugar coat real issues that are taking places all over the world today. I'm not a huge fan of reading violence for violence's sake but that's not what Schrefer writes at all. He writes a great story about Congo, the civil war they are engaged in and an young caught in the middle of it all. His protagonist is innocent and vulnerable but shows tremendous bravery to protect animals that are even more vulnerable. Fantastic story.
Curricular connection - This was a Battle of the Books book but I also used it as a selection for my science colleague who was asking students to read about conservation.
This turned out to be a fabulous little read. The story was set in the Congo during political unrest and focused on the plight of the bonobos. I loved learning more about these intelligent animals and Otto won my heart from the start. i enjoyed how fourteen-year-old Sophie matured throughout the book and her bond with baby Otto was extremely touching. Some of her escapades were a bit unbelievable, but overall I really enjoyed this book. It was an easy read, full of adventure and heart-warming moments. A real find for animal lovers of any age.
Very good. Gripping subject.

The compelling tale of a girl who must save a group of bonobos--and herself--from a violent coup.
The Congo is a dangerous place, even for people who are trying to do good.
When one girl has to follow her mother to her sancuary for bonobos, she's not thrilled to be there. It's her mother's passion, and she'd rather have nothing to do with it. But when revolution breaks out and their sanctuary is attacked, she must rescue the bonobos and hide in the jungle. Together, they will fight to keep safe, to eat, and to survive.
Eliot Schrefer asks readers what safety means, how one sacrifices to help others, and what it means to be human in this new compelling adventure.

Sophie is not happy to be back in the Congo for the summer, but when she rescues an abused baby bonobo she becomes more involved in her mother's sanctuary--and when fighting breaks out and the sanctuary is attacked, it is up to Sophie to rescue the apes and somehow survive in the jungle.… (more)

If you get your kicks by hurtling toward the earth at more than 120 miles per hour from an altitude of about two and a half miles -- and who doesn't? -- Skydive America is your kind of place. But it'll cost you: as much as $159 for the jump. (Find four or more friends foolish enough to accompany you, and the price drops to $139 each.) What does it get you? A short video screening on what you're about to experience, a personal briefing from the instructor to whom you'll be harnessed, and then the jump: 65 seconds of free fall followed by another four to six minutes of "canopy flight" after you (or your instructor) deploy the parachute. Your view will include Lake Okeechobee and the sugar cane fields of western Palm Beach County. Factor in another $79 if you want to document the look of terror on your face with a video and still photos. And if you're too giddy to drive back home after all this, $20 will get you a night at nearby Clouds Edge Ranch, a 3.5-acre complex of air-conditioned bunkhouses, campgrounds, showers, kitchen facilities, and a pool. They'll even throw in a towel and soap.
He was just passing through, never staying in one place more than a year. We knew that, but it's still hard to admit that's he's really gone -- with no forwarding address. That's probably why we feel a little like a jilted lover. The good news is, Chris Chandler liked us. He really, really liked us. He wrote about the area in an e-mail to his South Florida friends, "I like to think of Hollywood as pre-scene'.... The rent is cheap, there are a dozen places to hear affordable live music where the beer is cheap, and there are no A&R reps shaking the bushes to find Eminem taking a leak." High praise indeed. And of course, audiences who heard Chandler perform know this "folken-word" poet was just warming up his praise when he typed that missive. We'll miss the guy who pointed out poetically that the coldest place on earth is a South Florida movie theater, that karaoke-style, cover-tune-like guitar-strumming is crap, and that many of our residents look like George W. Bush when he's asked a simple question (which goes a long way toward explaining the election). Let's hope we do something really stupid that attracts national attention soon so Chandler comes back for a visit.
Theatergoers found a lot of reasons to dislike Paul Tei this season. He played a cold-blooded child-murderer in New Theatre's Never the Sinner and a hot-blooded serial killer in GableStage's Popcorn. But he is so good at being bad that we can't really hold it against him. Tei is the kind of actor who looks at a role not only as an opportunity to perform but also as a chance to create a persona. Consequently he can portray several different degenerates without his performances overlapping. As Wayne, the gun-toting redneck in Popcorn, Tei kept us riveted to our seats -- appalled and laughing. But as Richard Loeb, a wealthy young Chicago man who, along with his lover, kills a young boy on a Nietzsche-inspired whim, he was outstandingly appalling. Tei never let audiences simply dislike his character. With his willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of character definition, he could make Ted Bundy funny. He dared to play the insolent, arrogant murderer Loeb as childlike and capricious -- clubbing a kid in the head one moment and going out for hot dogs the next. Tei's topnotch acting transformed these two good plays into excellent ones.
An actress's success in a dramatic role can fall into one of two categories: the ability to make the unbelievable believable, and the ability to make the believable unbelievably incredible. Bridget Connors managed to do both in her role as a young Jewish woman dying of a terminal illness. That's the believable part. Rachel's plight could easily have been a case study in Harold S. Kushner's book When Bad Things Happen to Good People. She expressed all the predictable emotions and asked all the right metaphysical questions. The not-so-believable part is the conversion experience she had, which was facilitated by her sister, a devout member of the Christian Science faith. Believable or unbelievable, Connors brought something magical to the role from the moment she stepped on-stage. Her ability to be simultaneously earthy and ethereal left theatergoers feeling as if they were seeing a tragedy for the first time.
There are traditional galleries, and then there's Lumonics, "a specialized sensory environment," as its founders put it, which is easily South Florida's most unusual venue for multimedia art. Housed in a nondescript strip of businesses just north of the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, Lumonics brings together light sculptures, water sculptures (in other words, fountains), performance art, digital video, laser art, dance, and music, all in one blow-your-mind complex. Dorothy Tanner and her husband, Mel (who died in 1993), started Lumonics as a showcase for large-scale acrylic sculptures that combine bright colors with internal lighting. Those pieces, along with water sculptures, are still displayed in a few small rooms and in the large main theater, which is where things really get interesting. From an upstairs control booth, a pair of artists (originally Dorothy and Mel, now Dorothy and Marc Billard) create one-of-a-kind performances set to music that include digital video projections and lasers dancing across a 35-foot wall that serves as their palette. Tanner and her collaborators originally created their soundtracks using jazz, classical, and New-Age music, but have lately leaned more toward original material by Tanner and Billard. And their regular hour-and-a-half shows have evolved more or less into "happenings," with the main performance followed by late-night parties in the adjacent Nite-Light gallery, where visitors can dance to cutting-edge DJ music or just hang out among the light sculptures.
Who can turn the world on with a smile? Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Better still, who can sponsor a punk-rock food fight, inviting fans to attend a show and pelt band members with fruits and vegetables? It's the Mary Tyler Whores, of course, Broward's messy purveyors of stripped down, below-the-belt punk. For authenticity the band includes Joey Image, original drummer for protohardcore pioneers the Misfits. For fun the band sports an irreverent, clever handle. And for the hell of it, the musicians will let you throw your rotten citrus at them for no extra charge. Fort Lauderdale's Culture Room is a prime spot to pick up these Whores.

Surely all of you are, by now, well acquainted with our Mississippi Delta Hot Tamale Trail. Established in 2005, the Tamale Trail is home to about 25 oral history interviews with Delta tamale makers and an interactive map that plots the locations of dozens more. It's the project that inspired our other culinary trail projects (check out our BBQ, Boudin, and Gumbo Trails), and it was also the catalyst for the first culinary marker in the state of Mississippi.
It should be no surprise, then, that people still can't get enough of Delta hot tamales. Just this month, two national magazines sing the praises of these particular bundles of meat and masa.
In the February 2013 issue of Travel + Leisure magazine, Shane Mitchell's piece "Southern Revival" celebrates the small-town culture of the Mississippi Delta. Many SFA oral history subjects are mentioned, as well as our hometown of Oxford, and Delta tamales definitely get their due:
An old-timey lunch spot, Crystal Grill specializes in such staples as fried chicken livers with stewed lima beans and candied yams. But the days when Southern food could be easily categorized by a greasy prefix are done and gone. Successive waves of immigrant workers have introduced Sicilian "pasta gravy," Lebanese kibbeh, Vietnamese pho, and Mexican tamales to the region. Greenwood alone has seven listings on the Mississippi Delta Hot Tamale Trail.The new February/March 2013 issue of Garden & Gun just hit newsstands and includes a long piece on Delta tamales by author, Delta-native, and friend of the SFA Julia Reed. In "A Delta Original: How the Humble Tamale Came to Represent A Region and Its People," Reed references the Tamale Trail throughout and spreads the good word about the first-annual Delta Hot Tamale Festival, which was held in Greenville in October (the 2013 festival is scheduled for October 19).
March 17-20, the 2013 Delta Cultural Tour, an annual event organized by the Center for the Study of Southern Culture, will share the tamale love, as well. Amy Evans, SFA oral historian and chief architect of the Tamale Trail, is a featured presenter and will speak to the group about all things Delta and tamale.
The short documentary film featured above is a profile of Elizabeth Scott of Scott's Hot Tamales in Greenville, one of the stops on our Tamale Trail. Mrs. Scott was the 2007 recipient of our Ruth Fertel Keeper of the Flame Award.
Visit the Mississippi Delta Hot Tamale trail for more. Better yet, come to Mississippi! Your first dozen tamales is on us.

Roommates needed for Fanime
Anyone who was around Thursday afternoon knew how...much of a headache it was to book a room for Fanime. I was able to book one room at the Hilton San Jose, located in connection with the convention. However; I did not book thru Fanime but with the hotel itself. Being an AAA member I was able to get a discounted price, not as much as Fanime but still at a discounted. That being said it's slightly expensive the only up side is that because I did not book thru Fanime I do not have to pay the $100 per night deposit at check-in. So..I'm looking for quiet a few roommates for the convention. In order to get a decent price for the entire con I would need to find 6 people for a total of $103 each, this is including Day 0 and checking out the last day of Fanime. Currently I have 1 confirm so in total with myself is 2. The room is 1 king size bed; I can probably get an air mattress so we can push the bed to one side and have another next. Either gender I am fine rooming with however you must be over 18. I will be bringing a hookah but smoking outside. I will probably have light snacks/drinks which all are welcome to. We will be drinking inside the room; you are welcome to join but not pressured to. Personally, I will be most likely sleeping on the floor so there is a good chance you will be too. I will ask for the money upon check in; everything will be placed on CC but at check out will be paid in cash. So long story..:
-Hilton San Jose, all days including Day 0 hotel is connected to convention center
-Either gender is fine
-6 people would equal to $103 per person
-Be 18+
-Drinking will happen, welcome to join but not pressured to
-High chance of sleeping on the floor
-Money will be asked upon check out
One final remark: I am personally not a "hardcore" cosplayer. I don't have 10 cosplays lined up. I do have a few however they are mostly street clothes. I'm not asking you to not be a hardcore cosplayer but please bare in mind with a packed room means very limited space. Pack accordingly and please don't bring many bags...any questions feel free to leave a comment and I will reply as soon as I can.
Nulla è reale, tutto è lecito.

This is what is offered as a trade off for sending in your original kit for recasting:
Share Kits with others
If you have some lovely kits that you would like to Share with other members in E2046 community. Please may you send them to us. You will be rewarded with benefits because of your kindness.
You can choose one of the benefits from the below:
* You will have your original kit and a copy back
* You will have your original kit and a equal amount of cash coupon
* You will have two copies of the kit back
Of course, the shipping cost will be suffered by E2046.com. Why wait? ACT NOW!
Do not send your kit in for recast. What is offered as a reward for the transaction is absolutely worthless! I'm going to break down the costs of recasting to tell you exactly why this is a BAD BARGAIN.
An original 1/8 kit usually goes for 8000yen -9000yen (that's about $75.00-$85.00)
The cost for a 1/8 recast is about $10.00
The price listed for a 1/8 recast on E2046 is usually about $30.00
If you send in an original 1/8 scale kit around 8000yen and the pay off is only $10.00 (You spend $75.00 and E2046 pays less than 15% to obtain the kit from you)
If you send in an original 1/8 scale kit around 8000yen and the pay off is around $30.00 (the better of the 3 deals but still not a good offer at all)
If you send in an original 1/8 scale kit around 8000yen and the pay off is around $20.00 (and you do not get your original back! You got completely ripped off!)
No matter how you look at it the reward offered is a complete rip off! Not under these conditions should you ever consider sending in an original kit to E2046! Your original will suffer damages when it goes through casting stages. It can get scratched-up, puttied, primed, and pinned during casting stages! Any alterations from the state it came in the box will effects the VALUE of your original kits.
You do the math! See if any of this sh*t adds up! The only one that benefits in the end is Simon and his pocket!
Unless something MUCH better is offered...DON'T DO IT!!!

A Conversation With ... Rodney Shepard
Maria Hoover
, Features Editor
Wednesday, May 30, 2012 11:19 AM
: Arvest Bank
: Springfield president, since February 2011
: Bachelor's in management, Northeastern State University, Tahlequah, Okla.; Master of Business Administration, Webster University; Graduate School of Banking, Louisiana State University
Arvest has two local branches built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards, with a groundbreaking held May 7 for a third. Why has Arvest chosen to make sustainability a priority?
We want to be good stewards of our natural resources, and that's probably what started a lot of this inside our company. If we can utilize less energy in terms of our operations or deposit fewer items in a landfill, in a small way, we really think that helps whatever footprint that we have in a given community. In our company, there's just a sense that we ought to utilize what we have, and if we can't, can someone else utilize them? To some extent, that's why there's a push for recycling some items we use on a day-to-day basis, or (with) the construction of our facilities, you see (utilization) of a lot of natural light.
Are all of Arvest's new branches going to be sustainable or does that vary by market?
We don't have a corporatewide mission to say that we're to build (all branches) to LEED standards to get them all certified, but we're incorporating a number of things that have us really close, anyway. For example, lighting inside our branches – we're beginning to use (light-emitting diode) lighting inside most of our branches. The white, reflective roofing – we've been utilizing that in our locations, and that's something that we'll probably continue to use. There's an appreciation here in Springfield for the LEED standards, and for us to be a part of this community, we think it's important that we build our branches in that fashion.
What are some of Arvest's everyday sustainability practices that could be replicated by other businesses?
Some things would be maybe a little tougher for others. The LED lighting is more expensive, but that's one thing we use. Our HVAC systems have real high-efficiency units. So as individuals or businesses look to upgrade, or if, unfortunately, one goes out and they need to replace it, they could look at that. Recycling is a big deal, from paper recycling to toner cartridges that we use inside our facilities. As our associates drink water out of aluminum or plastic bottles, we have recycle bins inside our facilities for paper, aluminum and plastic. We encourage our associates – and our customers – to use e-statements for their deposit accounts. We encourage our folks, if they take subscriptions to trade magazines, to do it electronically versus having that paper copy come.
Do you get a lot of feedback from customers about Arvest's sustainable aspects?
Particularly when the location at Chestnut and National was built, there was a lot of publicity around it, though I was not in town at the time. We have a self-guided tour so people can walk around and see the elements that we put into the facility. Even (now), people stop and will read some of the elements and come in and ask a question or two: 'Why are you all doing this?' or 'Has some of this stuff worked or paid off?' or what vendors did we use to help put some of these elements together, be it landscaping or lighting or whatever.
From a utilities costs and usage standpoint, do you have comparative data for the LEED branches and others?
We don't have hard numbers, for a couple of reasons. The Chestnut and National location has been up and running since July 2010, but we've not completed a comparison of that branch, at that size, because we don't have another one that's comparable to it. The branches are all different sizes. So we don't have a side-by-side comparison for branches in the same city. With this prototype, we do have a branch built like it in another city, but utility rates, because they're going to vary, we can't tell (if it has) paid off. What we do know, maybe from a philosophical standpoint, is we're using less energy. And we know that we're not sending things to end up in the landfill.
How can business leaders get started on the path to sustainability?
I would go to some folks who have started down that road, just to find out what might make sense in their business practices. They can take our tour, and obviously, we would be happy to share the things that we can share about what we've done in our facilities. There are the folks at City Utilities. I know they would be willing to help, or the folks at O'Reilly Hospitality, which recently received LEED-Gold and has two LEED facilities in town. They've done some things and done them for a reason. At least for us, it hasn't been that hard to implement some things in our company. Start with the easy stuff. The recycling piece is easy, but it's a behavior. And it can translate from work to home, and from there, it can grow. If you can get your employees involved, you can make a big difference doing some small things.

Karl Lagerfeld doesn't do anything by halves. A runway lined with hot coals that were so convincing, people tiptoed over them after the show for fear of burning their new-season heels. Two enormous white Chanel gift boxes from which the models emerged. A foggy backdrop of an enchanted forest. Such was the setting for Chanel's Fall 2011 runway show at Paris fashion week, and like all good Chanel shows it was suitably epic.
For the coming fall, Chanel's girl is truly wearing the pants. At times skinny and rock-chic, at others wide legged with a dandy masculinity; even under skirts and frock-coats were there pants. Much of the time they were paired with flat, lace-up shoes or heavy boots for an even fuller masculine look. Boots that will be seen on many an off-duty model. Boots that rock. There's also a kind of Gothic twist to it all rounding out the enchanted forest theme and culminating in mid or floor-length capes that are heavy and dark.
But while the masculine is very much in force for Chanel that doesn't mean the feminine details are neglected. As with a number of other shows this season it's all about the balance, and for Karl Lagerfeld that means weighing up masculine cuts with delicate fabrics, embellished takes on the classic Chanel tweed, and lashings of rich lace.
And the bags? Typically structured and chain-handelled, they're given an antique twist by way of aged metal fittings – and overall have an understated elegance that will no doubt put them on the arm of many a Chanel girl come fall.
You can see a selection of photos from the Chanel autumn / fall 2011 / 2012 showing by clicking on the gallery below.

Royal Signs Door Distribution Deal for Western Canada
Royal Window and Door Profiles has signed a distribution partnership agreement with British Columbia-based Coniston Products. With the deal, a new distribution center is being opened to supply Royal patio doors to Western Canada.

Their experience, in particular in the window and door industry, will be invaluable to Royal Group's customers in Western Canada."

- Nine-month total up 5.6%, year-on-year
- Double-digit monthly increases across all regions
- Northeast total is down 37.1% y-o-y
The monthly sales total for September 2012 indicated one of the strongest periods in the report's 17-year history.
New orders for machine tools and related technology rose 40.7% to $667.47 million in September, from $474.31 million in August. The data is included in the monthly U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders report, which includes actual results of domestic sales of machine tools and associated equipment, included imports. It is compiled by AMT-The Association for Manufacturing Technology, and includes summaries of total domestic and regional sales.
The September result covers the period of IMTS 2012, which according to anecdotal reports was the scene of heavy interest and investment in new manufacturing technology. Now, it's clear that September featured the highest monthly sales total in the past 13 months, and improves on the September 2011 result ($588.80 million) by 13.4%.
"In the 17 years that this data has been collected, there is only one other month that broke $600 million," offered Douglas K. Woods, AMT president. "Both of those were in months that reflected sales from IMTS, showing its strength as the largest manufacturing event in the Americas.
"It's possible we could average $450 million a month for all of 2012," Woods continued, "the largest year ever for this program. This speaks to tremendous strength in the manufacturing industry, and is proof that IMTS 2012 was the strongest show seen in years."
The positive results were demonstrated across all regions. In the Northeast, September manufacturing technology orders rose 42.6% to $70.75 million, up from $49.63 million in August.
However, the Northeast total trails the September 2011 result ($112.46 million) by 37.1%, and with a nine-month total of $561.88 million, the year-to-date sales total is off the 2011 pace by 8.4%.
In the South, new orders totaled $103.06 million in September, rising 57.9% over the August result ($65.29 million), and 32.1% over the $78.01 million recorded for September 2011. The 2012 year-to-date sales for the region now stand at $619.54 million, 15.0% more than the $538.78 million recorded for the comparable period for 2011.
The Midwest regional sales of machine tools and related technology amounted to $206.83 million during September, a 34.2% increase over the $154.11 million total for August, and a 20.7% improvement over sales of $171.40 million posted for September 2011. The region's 2012 year-to-date total is now $1,369.92 million, up 4.5% over the comparable figure ($1,310.79 million) for January-September 2011.
In the Central region, September manufacturing technology orders rose 43.5% to $182.10 million, from$126.94 million in August, and increased 14.8% from the $158.69 recorded during September 2011. The region's nine-month total for 2012 is now $1,220.67 million, up 9.0% against the $1,119.42 million posted for the comparable figure for 2011.
Finally, in the West, September manufacturing technology new orders rose 33.7% to $104.72 million, from $78.34 million during August. The new figure also is 53.4% higher than the $68.25 million in new orders during September 2011.
The Western region's annual total now stands at $510.09 for the first nine months of 2012, 8.0% over the $472.48 million totaled during January-September 2011.

At K&D Holsters, I am offering a new paddle holster design (patent pending). It's a very versatile set up. You can wear it with the paddle inside of the pants waistband or outside the waistband around the belt. It will adjust to fit either a 1 1/4, 1 1/2, or 1 3/4 inch belt. You can adjust it to wear either in a vertical draw, cant forward draw, or cross-draw.

The cost will be $60 + $5/shipping. Currently it is only available for medium to large frame semi-autos. I anticipate having it available for both wheel guns and the smaller autos very soon (still working on some technical aspects).
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks!
Nice......always good to have a great paddle available.
Shoot well.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice..........Rush
Kevin - looks beautiful. Any idea when you might be able to make that for a S&W J-Frame?
Nice to have the combination - a decent leather rig but on a sturdy paddle. Way to go Kevin.
As you know - I could be interested in a smaller version ultimately to suit a Bersa Thunder.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I hope to have a version available soon for the revolvers. I should have the "holster" part finished fairly soon. It will then be a matter of getting it matched up to the correct paddle.
The new holster design looks good. Any chance of getting it made for either a Rossi 720 or a Colt Agent (D Frame)?. If not I'll settle for a J-Frame.
I do have a Colt (d-frame) so we could make it for that. I'm working on a revolver holster for this design and hope to have something available very soon.
It looks good, Kevin.

"The pistol, learn it well, carry it always ..." ~ Jeff Cooper

End the cycle of hatred, dont give them a tomorrow."
I do like the way you think. Looks like a winner to me.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

Nice looking holster, I like the option of belt or , paddle attachment.
Hi Kevin,
My one reservation is that I find paddle holsters that ride high tend to let the butt of the gun torque away from the body. I have a couple that do that, including a Galco paddle, and Uncle Mike's. The Fobus on the other hand rides low and stays much closer to the body.
I was at the range yesterday, and one of the guns was a S&W M 60 3inch. The Galco did not keep the gun close to the body, and I again concluded that it is not a satisfactory conceal carry holster.
Just a thought. It looks like your holster rides very high.

With most arenas this works out to the $6m to $11m range. Would also avoid any gift clause challenge.
But to be honest,
Gramps doesn't seem too interested in any cuts to the current deal
. Clearly he wants Glendale to subsidize team losses and help his investors make money. After tonight, without a game changer showing up, I don't see any path that realistically keeps the Coyotes in Arizona.
Jamison is not the big investor here, and all signs indicate that any potential owner needs a sizable subsidy to be enticed to purchase the Coyotes and sign a long-term lease in Glendale. Unless the NHL makes a major move to lower the purchase price, I can't see how Jamison or any owner will agree to much less of a subsidy than is in the current lease.

For the last few years, I have been participating in a Department of Homeland Security sponsored effort to develop principles and applications for the evaluation of information and communication technology (ICT) research. If you are not familiar with the Menlo Report, you can find a description in Michael Bailey, David Dittrich, Erin Kenneally, and Douglas Maughan. The Menlo Report. Security & Privacy, IEEE, 10(2):71–75, March/April 2012.
I and two of my Menlo colleagues -- Wendy Vischer and Erin Kenneally -- recently taught a didactic course at the PRIM&R Advancing Ethical Research conference in San Diego. (PRIM&R is the conference for Institutional Review Board, or IRB, professionals, with the annual AER conference having thousands of attendees). Our course primarily described the Menlo Report process to date, but we concluded with a mock IRB committee review of a fictional proposed research project in which researchers develop countermeasures to malicious botnets in social network platforms like Facebook using a combination of deception to build a social network of over 1 million users and to then use "good bots" that infiltrate the "bad bots".

Claudio has just released a new version of Cuckoo Sandbox 0.5. The list of new features is very impressive! Check it out at http://cuckoosandbox.org/2012-12-20-to-the-end-of-the-world.html.
This is good. Enjoy!..
This looks like a great event.
In many countries, its the time of the year you can make tax deductible donations to support your favorite charity and non-profit organization. Id like to ask you to consider donating to the Honeynet Project this year. The Honeynet Project is a 501c3 non-profit organization (EIN: 36-4460128) that - over the past decade - learned the tools, tactics and motives involved in computer and network attacks, and shared the lessons learned with the public. Along the way, we have authored and published many open-source tools to capture & analyze attacks. If you would like to support the cause, please donate.
Happy Holidays to all of you.

CEO, The Honeynet Project
Over the last few weeks I've basically rewritten the core of Ghost, our system for USB malware detection. While the new approach promises to be much more effective, it has a drawback: It only works for Windows Vista and later systems. As a consequence, there are now two flavors of Ghost in existence: One supports Windows XP but won't receive much further development, whereas a lot of interesting new features will be implemented for the other one, which is dedicated to Vista and later. In this post, I'm going to explain the reasoning behind the decision, describe the recent technical advances and outline some of our plans for the future. Read more »
This is a response to a CSO Online blog post by Jeff Bardin ("Caution: Not Executing Offensive Actions Against Our Adversaries is High Risk," November 2012.), which is a rebuttal to a blog post by Jody Westby on Forbes online ("Caution: Active Response to Cyber Attacks Has High Risk.") Mr. Bardin is obviously playing on words in the title and I seriously doubt he believes that it is higher risk to not take aggressive actions than is to do so. His post does not contain a reasoned proposal for how to change or work within existing legal and ethical norms to allow aggressive actions directed at computer network attackers. It is instead a strident endorsement of a vaguely defined "new approach" of counter-attack using simplistic arguments based on emotion and a desire for retribution (an unethical position to take), lacking sufficient discussion of appropriate "rules of engagement," principle-based ethical justifications of any type beyond basic "right of self-defense" arguments, and including no oversight mechanisms to minimize the potential for abuse or collateral damage. This response is quite long, including not only Mr. Bardin's own words for context but also many references to materials apropos to the topic that Mr. Bardin does not provide in his post.
Mr. Bardin's blog post illustrates some of the problems with discussion of this topic that I have seen over and over since the first workshops I attended or lead on this topic in Seattle's Agora security group from 2001 to 2004. I have been studying and discussing these issues for over a decade and have seen the same simplistic arguments repeated in nearly every discussion. Useful analogies in this realm are really hard to find and almost always fail. Part of the problem stems from non-technical people trying to discuss extremely technical and complex issues of computer network attack and defense, combined with rushing to simple "self defense" analogies and appeals to emotion, suggesting we have to do something, anything, to get satisfaction. Frequently left out is any meaningful discussion of ethics, "rules of engagement," responsibility, or accountability.
If my response here comes across as vehement opposition, it is not intended that way. If anything, it shares Mr. Bardin's frustration that we have gotten to the point where intrusions are so widespread and pervasive, but we differ in explaining why and in proposing a viable path forward.

SSH and X11 Forwarding Using Cygwin
This document describes how to use Cygwin to log into ARSC systems and remotely run X11 applications from Microsoft Windows. For complete instructions on using the X11 server, please visit the Cygwin/X main site and review their User's Guide. For information on Cygwin itself, see the Cygwin home page.
Installing The Necessary Software
To run remote X11 applications, you need to install an X11 server and an SSH client. Cygwin provides packages for both. For information on how to install Cygwin, please see the ARSC knowledge base article titled Installing and Using Cygwin. Ensure that you select and install the following Cygwin packages: openssh, xorg-server, and xinit.
Starting the X Server
Before you can use Cygwin/X to display X Window applications, it must be started. To do this, run the "startxwin" utility either in a Cygwin shell or from the XWin icon which should now be in your Start Menu. A white xterm window will open, and you will see the X Window icon appear on the right-hand side of your task bar.
Opening an X11-forwarded SSH connection
Next, you need to establish your secure shell connection with X11 support. To do this, add an -X and a -Y flag to your normal ssh connection. For example, a user with an ARSC account named jsmith would connect to an ARSC system named murgatroyd by typing the following into his opened xterm window:
It is easiest to establish proper X11 forwarding using the xterm window that opened when you started the X Server. This is because it sets a DISPLAY variable for you automatically, which is needed by the X Window System.
If you would like to establish the connection from your main Cygwin shell instead, you will have to set your DISPLAY manually. Either of these commands will do that.
Running Remote X Window Applications
With your local X server running, a DISPLAY set, and your SSH connection with X11 forwarding open, you should be ready to open remote X Window applications. To do so, open the program from your shell prompt as if you were on a terminal directly connected to the system (see Running a Program from the Shell Prompt for more information). Before you open any large applications (such as Matlab), test that you have set up your connection correctly by running "xlogo" in your shell. A window should open which looks similar to this:
If you see this image, a black X on a white background, then you have successfully set up SSH with X11 forwarding. You may now open other X11 applications in the same way.
My application returns the error "Error: Can't open display:"!
This error could be caused either by your DISPLAY variable not being set, or by the SSH connection not being flagged properly for X11 forwarding. Please log out of the ARSC machine you have connected to, and reset your DISPLAY environment variable.
Next, re-connect to the ARSC machine you were logged in to. Make sure that your ssh command has the -XY flags present.
My application returns the error "X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)."! (or similar)
This is an indication that your local X server is not running. Check the icons on the right-hand side of your task bar for the X Server icon. If it is not present, ensure that you installed xorg-server and xinit in Cygwin, and execute "startxwin" from your Cygwin shell. Once the icon is present, try opening your program again.
