Police presence in the downtown and the armed robberies were top topics in a Chamber meeting with the RCMP.
In their regular meeting Tuesday, Battlefords Chamber of Commerce directors heard from Sgt. Darcy Woolfitt of Battlefords RCMP about the crime situation in the community.
The goal of the meeting was to provide information on crime trends and ways businesses can prevent or be prepared for those situations.
A wide range of topics were discussed in a meeting that comes in the wake of high profile robberies in North Battleford in the past month.
Woolfitt referred to the armed robberies that hit Family Pizza on 100th Street in early May, as well as at the Super 8 Motel off Highway 16 April 24.
�Those things happen from time to time,� noted Woolfitt, who offered some prevention tips at the meeting, particularly for businesses operating late at night.
Those tips included making sure there isn�t much money in the till, and to have some protocols for those incidents, so employees are aware of what to do.
He urges employees not to be confrontational in such situations.
�It�s not worth getting hurt over $50 or $100,� said Woolfitt.
In those situations he suggested simply handing over the money and then calling the RCMP right away, so they could utilize their resources to track perpetrators down.
Woolfitt also urged security and surveillance cameras be using, calling those a �phenomenal resource for us and more than helpful� in solving crime.
Also discussed were RCMP plans to step up their efforts in policing North Battleford�s downtown core, under fire from residents for the amount of vagrancy in the area.
Woolfitt indicated the RCMP would be stepping up visibility in the area in the coming months.
He noted the department will step up foot patrols and also bike patrols in the downtown with the coming warmer weather. He called bike patrols a positive move that will also allow members to interact with members of the public. The efforts are designed to increase their visibility in the area.
The RCMP also conducted foot patrols over the winter months, Woolfitt noted, though not as frequently. The department is keeping those up year round.
The idea of more foot patrols and bike patrols was well received by the directors, who also suggested the officers drop by the businesses to introduce themselves.
Another topic that prompted considerable discussion was the issue of shoplifting.
Battlefords Chamber president Pat Smith said shoplifting is a major problem at Battlefords and District Co-op.
It caused a big impact on the grocery store�s bottom line, Smith noted. He praised the swift police response to those situations.
�People don�t have any clue how much walks out of these stores,� said Smith.

President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney go head-to-head in their first of three presidential debates. The struggling economy was a major part of the conversation. Our Josh Robin breaks down what was discussed.
UNITED STATES -- In their much-anticipated first debate, President Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney squared off over the economy and other domestic issues.
It was a factoid-heavy 90 minutes that may have elevated Romney. The Republican came well-armed with bleak statistics of a struggling nation, Obama wielding the defense Americans are better off now.
"47 million on food stamps today, economic growth slower this year than last year, and last year's slower than the year before," said Romney.
"When I walked in to the Oval Office, I had more than a trillion dollar deficit greeting me. And we know where it came from," said President Obama.
While no knockouts, the instant analysis is Romney exceeded expectations while the President did not always engage his foe. Romney pressed the President while staying cordial, wishing the first couple a happy anniversary for instance.
Observers note the President was more law professor than prosecutor. He never mentioned the infamous video in which Romney disparages 47 percent of the population. Nor did Obama strongly seize on the fact that his signature health care law is rooted in a law Romney signed as Massachusetts Governor.
"I just don't know how the President could have come into office facing 23 million people out of work, rising unemployment, an economic crisis at the kitchen table and spend his energy and passion fighting for ObamaCare," said Romney.
Romney may have alienated a key bloc of Big Bird fans. He said he'd slash Sesame Street's subsidy, but he did apologize to the feathered friend.
The men will debate again October 16th in a town hall meeting, followed by a third and final debate on October 22nd. But coming up next, the vice-presidential candidates square off. That's next week, on October 11th.

Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Our 2007 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon combines elegance and depth in a balanced expression of this classic California vintage. It has a dark ruby color with a garnet edge and a complex nose of sandalwood, cedar, cassis, black cherry, dark chocolate and roasted coffee. On the palate, it is extremely rich and mouth-coating and has a long finish of concentrated fruit and spice with a slight tannic grip. This wine is remarkable in how it continues to evolve in the glass over the course of a meal. It has great maturity of aromas and tannins at moderate alcohol.
Tasting Notes:
Bright dark red. Complex, lively aromas of cherry, licorice, chocolate, tobacco leaf and spices. A juicy, spicy midweight with excellent tension and finesse to its youthfully imploded fruit, spice and chocolatey oak flavors. A very successful offering from Silver Oak, finishing with substantial dusty tannins, noteworthy length and a light touch. Aged for a full two years in 100% new American oak, but the oak element is not at all overbearing.
81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, Cabernet Franc 5% and Petit Verdot 3%.
With proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2033.

i have a request:
could you make a little circle for the max distance of gauntlets glove when you are pulling people TO you? just like how theres a circle for where valk will land when she leaps. this would help tremendously, as i wouldnt have to guess where im pointing XD.
also: with this "gauntlets indicator should be 800 not the 1250 at lv 4.
As you can LEAP past 800 but only hit a target at 800 max. hitting the target is more important than knowing how far you can leap imo."
couldnt you just add another circle? like 1 at 800 range and the other at 1250 range? or can you only use one circle here?

Objective A multi-year conference grant (R13) supported an annual pre-meeting that served as a forum for psychiatry residency training directors to learn about and develop educational programs in their residencies in the area of scholarly activity.
Methods The authors sought to measure the success of these programs through both a between-pre-meeting online survey and a hardcopy evaluation form collected at the close of each annual pre-meeting. All data collection methods were careful to preserve the anonymity of respondents.
Results Reaction to the conference was overwhelmingly positive, with the majority of participants finding the instruction highly useful and beneficial, as well as having great confidence in their retention of the material and ability to integrate it into their own curricula.
Conclusion Attendees at the annual pre-meeting series dedicated to evidence-based medicine and research literacy techniques received well-regarded and highly useful knowledge, training, and educational tools. Incorporation of this knowledge and material into their curricula will likely have a lasting positive impact on their residents and home institutions.
In 2003, the U.S. Institute of Medicine released a report commissioned by the National Institute of Mental Health that noted, "The number of psychiatrist researchers does not appear to be keeping pace with the unparalleled needs that currently exist in clinical brain and behavior medicine" (1). A broader recognition arose, around the same time, that mechanisms need to be developed to facilitate research training, beginning in medical school or early in residency, rather than afterward (2). In addition to the decrease in the number of psychiatrists pursuing research, there is a general lack of training and knowledge among teachers of psychiatry residents about evidence-based medicine (EBM) and how to teach research literacy (RL) (3–6).
In response to these needs, a conference series was designed with R13 funding to assist training directors in achieving these goals. This was provided through a forum dedicated to teaching basic EBM and RL skills to directors of psychiatry residency programs. This "train-the-trainer" series began in 2006 as a day-long meeting held on the day before the annual meeting of the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training (AADPRT), and continued through 2010; thus, the gatherings are referred to as "pre-meetings" throughout this article.
The focus on EBM and RL skills was intended to serve a dual purpose. First, it was anticipated that training psychiatry residency faculty in such techniques would have a downstream effect, whereby they would engage their residents with these same methods, and those residents would, in turn, become more interested in pursuing careers in research. Secondly, in focusing upon basic, rather than higher-level statistics or study-design issues, which can often alienate those less experienced in research, the series was intended to make EBM and RL something that everyone would feel comfortable pursuing as Life Long Learning and Maintenance of Certification (MOC). This latter issue is of growing importance, since MOC is required every 10 years of all those who have graduated since 1994 (3–6).
The purpose of this article is to present an assessment of the series by examining data from evaluations collected at the conclusion of each pre-meeting, as well as data collected from an online survey distributed before the very first pre-meeting, in 2006, and between each subsequent pre-meeting, in order to produce an overall longitudinal impact assessment. Funding ended shortly after the 2010 pre-meeting, so the longitudinal impact of that pre-meeting could not be included in this article.
There were expectations that this program would result in several specific outcomes, namely, that participants would 1) enjoy the program overall; 2) improve their knowledge on the topics presented; 3) utilize learned information through teaching and distributing material in their institutional training programs; and 4) add more training in research and EBM to their own residency training programs. This study was meant as an open clinical assessment to stimulate both more controlled research and changes in teaching habits that have primarily gone untested in residency training until now.
In addition to teaching EBM and RL techniques throughout all 5 years, each pre-meeting included content that highlighted a particular mental illness or psychological condition. These included the treatment of complicated grief (2006), memory problems (2007), depression (2008), schizophrenia (2009), and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (2010). Although it was likely that training in these topics was already included in participating institutions' curricula, the subject matter provided a means through which new teaching modalities relating to EBM and RL could be introduced. Working within familiar topics also allowed for the introduction of statistical concepts important in understanding the research literature, such as judging validity and reliability of measurements (2006); sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios (2007); how to assess papers on meta-analysis (2008); t-tests, ANOVAs, and LOD scores (2009); and study designs (cohort, case–control, cross-sectional; 2010).
The general goals of the pre-meetings were to simulate activities that were available to residencies of various sizes and to give participants hands-on experience with being taught in those ways. Thus, each pre-meeting consisted of a mix of small-group activities (groups ranged in size from 15 to 20 and 30 to 40) and large lectures involving up to 150 participants. The meeting planners used as many opportunities as possible to not just have participants observe but to practice and, in some cases, to teach others by presenting "team" findings to each other within the small groups.
Small-group activities included learning to critically appraise the research literature by reviewing articles together and using worksheets to identify the components of each article. In reviewing each article, there was a special emphasis on discussing what impact it might have on the clinical care of present or future patients. Small-group facilitators also gave mini-lectures, which provided an opportunity for participants to ask focused questions on specific areas of study. These small groups were sometimes divided into smaller "teams" of 8–10 people so that attendees could work together to solve a problem or answer a question. For consistency, small-group facilitators were trained through e-mails, several conference calls, and a face-to-face meeting the evening before each pre-meeting.
In the large-group setting, several lecturers gave PowerPoint presentations in order to review the existing literature and new research. Other large groups reviewed a specific topic or activity, such as statistics or study design, that was about to be practiced in the small-group "teams." Another large-group activity involved a demonstration on how to search for articles in PubMed and how to use the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. It was assumed that many attendees already had some knowledge of these tools, so these firsthand demonstrations were intended to present additional useful tips.
A final technique used in both large and small groups was presenting specific instruction on how to use the books and CDs that were distributed to attendees each year. The CDs provided at each meeting contained all of the materials used in that year, so materials could be reproduced for teaching purposes at attendees' home institutions.
The 2010 pre-meeting warrants special mention, as it was conducted differently from the previous 4 years. The primary goal of every pre-meeting was to teach new instruction techniques; however, in 2010, a special effort was made to do this by introducing the concept of Team-Based Learning (TBL) (9–12). This was in addition to the traditional format used in the 4 previous years, which the authors are calling Teaching in Large and Small groups (TLS). Unlike the traditional classroom lectures utilized in TLS, which places greater emphasis on the acquisition of knowledge, TBL allows more time for participants to apply knowledge, rather than simply acquire it, and involves participants working together in small teams to answer questions and solve problems. In order to measure the difference in impact on learning that TBL might have had, a randomized controlled study (RCT) was conducted. Using a process of randomization during pre-meeting registration, attendees were assigned to one of the two teaching formats, with approximately 50 attendees receiving the day's material using TBL and 64 being instructed in the TLS format. Evaluations tailored to each curriculum were collected at the end of the TBL and TLS instruction periods. The closing session was retained as a time to bring groups together for a lecture and summary on the dynamics of TBL and the teaching resources it can provide.
Data for this study were collected via two sources: Anonymous pre-meeting evaluations, which were distributed and collected on-site at the end of pre-meeting, and an online between-pre-meeting survey, managed via SurveyMonkey.com, which was sent to all AADPRT members before the first meeting in 2006 and between each subsequent pre-meeting in order to study longitudinal impact. The evaluations and surveys were submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of SUNY Upstate Medical University and Keck Medicine of USC for consent approval in 2006 and 2008, respectively. Both instruments were granted an exemption from participants' consent because they were being used to assess an educational program.
Based on a Likert scale of 1–7, pre-meeting evaluations asked respondents to rate the conference overall (1: Poor; 7: Outstanding), establish self-perceived pre- and post-meeting level of familiarity with the material presented (1: No knowledge; 7: Thorough knowledge and use), and report the likelihood of their using the material introduced (1: Definitely won't use; 7: Will definitely use) (7).
Those who responded to the between-pre-meeting survey were asked whether various teaching methods or skill areas learned during the pre-meetings were used within their home programs. Of particular interest was the use of journal clubs and whether or not they were required, didactic training in the critical appraisal of literature, basic research-methods programs, training in evidence-based medicine, and residents' participation in faculty research (see Table 1).
Percentages of respondents who answered "Yes" to each question.
• N: the number of respondents who answered each question.
Because of the descriptive nature of the collected ordinal data, the evaluation and survey results are presented here as relative frequencies (percentages) of specific ratings on the 1–7 Likert scale (7, 8). In many cases, ratings between 1–3 and 5–7 have been collapsed in order to present percentages of respondents who rated certain items below or above average. Because 177 of the approximately 180 general psychiatry residency training programs in the U.S. attended at least one of the five pre-meetings, there was no control group for this study.
The pre-meeting evaluation response rate each year was high, with close to 96% of attendees returning evaluation forms in each of the 5 years. There was a consistent core of about 70%–80% of the approximately 180 general psychiatry residency training programs in the U.S. at all five pre-meetings, and over 98% of all general psychiatry residency programs were represented at at least one of the pre-meetings.
Data from these evaluations revealed that, regardless of year, the majority of respondents endorsed the use of material and topics presented at the conference series. Each year, the overall conference rating was routinely moderately high, with at least 90% of respondents reporting ratings between 5 and 7 (scale of 7). Every year, the majority of respondents reported a moderately high rating for their likeliness to use the material that had been covered in the pre-meeting. Overall, 86% of respondents reported that it would be likely (rating of 5 to 7) that they would use the material covered in large groups, and 81% of respondents reported the same ratings for material covered in small groups. As was anticipated, at the end of every pre-meeting, respondents reported an improvement in their understanding of the material presented. The majority of respondents rated their knowledge between 3 and 5 before each pre-meeting, and, at the end of each pre-meeting, the majority rated their knowledge between 4 and 6.
While the addition of the RCT changed the format of the 2010 pre-meeting slightly, data from that year reflect identical trends as the previous years. Respondents in both the TBL and TLS groups reported a moderately high likelihood to utilize what they had learned, and moderately high satisfaction with the conference overall, with 91% of respondents rating it between 5 and 7 (scale of 7). Although conference attendees were randomly assigned to each group, survey respondents in the TBL group reported having less of an understanding of the subject before the pre-meeting than those in the TLS group, but, after completion of the day's instruction, the rate of knowledge increase between both groups was the same. Whereas the same general trends were observed with respect to former pre-meetings, in one key rating, respondents seemed to slightly favor the TBL over the TLS curriculum: TBL respondents reported a greater likelihood of using the conference material; 89.1% reported it would be likely that they would use the material (rating of 5 to 7), as compared with 83.8% of TLS respondents who reported the same ratings. This outcome coincides with numerous articles showing statistically significant results that have found TBL to be both a more desirable and an equally or more effective method of teaching and learning (9–12). More details of the difference between TBL and TLS will follow in a subsequent article about the 2010 pre-meeting.
Although the response rate for the conference evaluations was consistently high, the response rate for the online between-pre-meeting surveys was considerably lower, with between one-third and two-thirds of attendees responding. Response rates for individual survey questions were also highly variable. A number of respondents exited the survey at early stages, and, since answering one question was not required to move on to the next, some respondents skipped certain questions. Thus, in some cases, only 30%–50% of the total number of people responding to the survey may have answered any one question. It is for this reason that the N values in Table 1 and Figure 1 are particularly small.
N: number of survey respondents who answered this question.
Several supplemental survey questions were added to the final between-pre-meeting survey that was distributed between the 2009 and 2010 pre-meetings. These questions sought to gauge the overall impact of the conference series by asking attendees to what extent they had implemented what they had learned over the previous 4 years of the pre-meetings into their training programs.
As shown in Table 1, despite differences in the number of people who took the survey, 92.6% of respondents in the between-pre-meeting period 2009–10 reported that their residency training programs included EBM teaching in their curriculum, compared with only 75.2% in pre-2006. As illustrated by Figure 1, a total of 82.4% of survey respondents indicated that they had integrated more EBM teaching into their didactic content curriculum as a result of attending at least one pre-meeting, whereas a smaller percentage had incorporated the techniques into individual supervision (39.2%), group supervision (22.3%), and clinical rounds (34.5%). Of the respondents who reported that EBM training had been added to their residency training programs, 59.3% had added training to the first postgraduate year (PGY-1); 65.5% had added training to PGY-2; 62.8% had added training to PGY-3; and 43.3% had added training to PGY-4.
As mentioned above, the topics covered in 2006–2009 were the treatment of complicated grief, memory problems, depression, and schizophrenia. Survey results showed that roughly 48% of respondents reported they had enhanced their curriculum by adding at least some EBM and RL teaching within those specific content areas as a result of attending at least one pre-meeting.
Finally, each year, a portion of the budget was set aside to provide take-home materials to attendees. These included textbooks and CDs containing research articles, slideshows, and other items presented or used in preparation for the pre-meeting. The last of the questions in the final between-pre-meeting survey examined how this material was utilized once attendees returned to their home institutions. More than 70% of respondents had made the textbooks and CDs a part of their establishment's library, and a notable portion (32%) assigned chapters and articles to be read by residents.
The vast majority of attendees described the conference overall as "very good," "excellent," or "outstanding." Whereas most individual sessions of the pre-meeting were rated equally as favorably, the material in the large-group lectures was rated as slightly more useful than what was presented in the small-group breakout sessions. Each individual instructor's teaching performance might have had an effect on the reported usefulness ratings; however, since most instructors received at least an above-average rating, any difference in their impact was likely negligible. Also, respondents were overwhelmingly confident in their retention of the "take-home" message and their ability to institute and incorporate that information into various aspects of their home institutions' residency programs.
The between-pre-meeting survey data demonstrate that, although not all survey respondents necessarily added new EBM and RL teaching relating to specific pre-meeting topics, the conference series was useful to them in providing teaching enhancements to their training programs. These included teaching tools, case examples, methodologies for use in existing journal clubs, and didactics on research methods (Table 1 and Figure 1).
Although these preliminary reports are very encouraging, there are weaknesses in the evaluation of these data that must be addressed. Data were collected via an ad-hoc process, and with very limited funding to conduct a formal evaluation of the full 5-year program. The survey instruments, which needed some modification each year depending on the topic, were only beta-tested by conference facilitators and presenters before distribution to attendees; thus, a true validation process with attendees was not conducted.
A low response rate has proven to be a major issue in the analysis of between-pre-meeting survey data. With only one-third to two-thirds of attendees answering the survey between pre-meetings, it has not been possible to accurately assess the impact this conference series has had on all participating programs. In order to acquire a higher response rate, the authors recommend distributing hard-copies of between-pre-meeting surveys at the beginning of the next pre-meeting, rather than using an online survey, since the hard-copy evaluations had such a high response rate.
Another major setback in the assessment of the conference series' impact is the anonymous nature of the collected data, which limited the authors' ability to compare the program's impact within and between specific training sites. If this program is continued, the authors recommend that institutions' responses be tracked from year to year through the use of anonymized identification codes. Another setback with the anonymity of the data is that it was impossible to track which institutions did not respond to or only partially completed the survey. Those non-responding institutions may have employed additional curricular components at rates different from those who replied. The existence of such a difference would imply an inconsistency in training standards, yet it was impossible to investigate this further without anonymized tracking of responses.
Also, without extension of this funding beyond 5 years, it was difficult to establish effects on residents, both in terms of the use of EBM strategies in clinical practice and in terms of increased rates of research track selection. Most of the residents who may have benefited from the lessons that their training directors took home over the 5 years have only just finished their residency training or have only been out in practice for 1–4 years. Further study dedicated to tracking specific program changes and the status of residents after completion of their training can help to highlight the longitudinal impact of this program.
Another flaw in the evaluation of these data are the lack of a control group. An annual survey collecting a formal response from each institution and residency program, including those that did not attend any of the pre-meeting conferences, would have been ideal for measuring group differences between attendees and non-attendees. However, the popularity of the program meant that over the 5 years of pre-meetings, approximately 177 of the nation's 180 general residency training programs were represented at least once, and thus the creation of a "non-attendee control group" was impossible.
Despite the shortcomings in the evaluation of these data, the authors are confident in saying that those who attended these pre-meetings gained useful and effective knowledge and used that knowledge to improve their institutions' training programs. The series provided attendees with useful content, teaching techniques, and assessment tools for curriculum development in research literacy and evidence-based medicine.

It is three months since the earthquake hit Haiti. The Palace, which is the national symbol of Haiti, is being demolished. Nevertheless, people are slowly beginning to clear the rubble and start rebuilding their homes.
At the general hospital in Port-au-Prince, the patients are being moved into buildings as the ward tents come down. However those same patients are still terrified of earthquakes and fear a concrete 'hospital grave'. We'll work with the patients and try and calm their fears.
Thankfully we've moved out of the tents ourselves at International Medical Corps Haiti. This was a great relief to me but the tents are never far away for us in case we stop trusting the buildings. Our mental health work continues to make good progress. We're embedded in several primary care clinics in Port-au-Prince and the surrounding earthquake affected areas, intensively training staff and supervising the mental health clinics.
The clinics are mainly still based in tents. It's an uncomfortable, hot environment for the staff who work day in, day out. We still see a great variety of patients - mainly those suffering palpitations and anxiety. Many had these symptoms at the beginning of the earthquake and they have intensified because they fear another earthquake will happen.
We don't see post-traumatic stress disorder. I have only seen one case which was a girl kidnapped and badly assaulted two years prior to the earthquake. There, however, remains a universal earthquake anxiety.
Everyone has a fear of being indoors are ready to escape at short notice. Often people don't know what to do. When I asked a child at the clinic, he replied that he would cry then pray; he didn't think of safety.
There is a surge of cases of SGBV or sexual and gender-based violence. At my clinic yesterday I saw a 13 year old girl with her parents after her rape. She said she was fine but she looked incredibly sad and is afraid of any man coming near her. She has to start school now and try and get back to normal. The parents have explained the situation to the school but the girl has decided not to tell her friends.
Another casualty of the earthquake is a young girl of 12 who keeps running after women in the street who look like her mother. Her mother died in the earthquake and this girl did not get to go to the funeral. She doesn't believe she is dead - another casualty of the earthquake.
Today a man arrived and asked us to take care of his daughter. She is 4 years old. She may have been abused when he left her with neighbours. He took the child away when he realised this. However, he can't work and support the child at the same time. The mother is mentally ill and unable to care for her. He begged us to take care of the child. This is just one of a number of cases of people asking us to take their children as they can't support them any more.
There are countless stories of loss of children, wives and husbands every day in the mental health clinic and at the hospital. On the other hand we are reaching people with mental health problems who would never have had treatment without the earthquake. What we have done is provide treatment to those who were previously marginalised and stigmatised. Illness has been aggravated by the earthquake. Indeed life in every way is prisimed through the earthquake.
We conduct lively training programmes for the primary care health staff. A recent talk by Father Pierre Eustache was particularly well received. He described how Haitians can symbolically have a formalised mourning ritual for those that are lost, including those whose bodies have never been recovered. This training had a strong resonance with the staff. I realised then how many had been directly affected by the earthquake, with loss of loved ones, home and jobs.
I am coming to the time when I originally planned to return to UK. I can't deny counting the days if not the hours of my return. On reflection, I have enjoyed the work although it has been hard and frustrating. At times I have been burned out and totally exhausted. I have probably cracked up on many occasions. However, there is a sense that there is a long standing benefit from our presence in terms of mental health; certain people have received treatments who wouldn't have done otherwise. There are definately Haitian health professionals I know who now carry knowledge of mental health treatment with them, and can make a difference to those with mental health problems in the future. I have been proud to be part of this work.
So instead of leaving Haiti for good, I will return after a brief break in UK and continue for a while longer on this programme with International Medical Corps in Haiti. The scale of the destruction, lack of an existing mental health system in the country and the dire poverty of Haiti means there is a lot of work ahead for the future for all those who come here from overseas and from Haiti.
LA Times piece on our mental health programs in Haiti
Personal blog written by Dr. Peter Hughes, Psychiatrist working at International Medical Corps
Based at Southwest London and St. George's mental health NHS trust.
Like hundreds of Haitian entrepreneurs, I was greatly affected by 12 January's very deadly earthquake. Listening to a Haitian evangelical radio station, waiting for two visitors while taking a nap in my cosy little office at the Haitian Environmental Reporters Network (REHPE), I heard some weird noise and felt some strong vibration which lasted about thirty seconds. In fact, I thought that my office building was collapsing from exhaustion because it was very old - some 120 years old. It usually shook up whenever a big car or truck passed by. All of a sudden, I had an idea firmly rooted in my mind to exit my place by jumping out of the first storey, with my bare feet, which I did! Being on the first floor, I was questioning my business colleagues about what happened. They told me that it was an earthquake.
Everybody was shouting, especially women not being able to control their emotions. A wide mass of dust filled in the air. People became dirty. They looked ugly with grey powder finely spread over their faces, heads and bodies. It was a big disaster. Several houses, schools and state buildings in my area were destroyed. With a lot of caution, a few minutes later, I had decided to re-enter my still-standing work place to rescue some important materials such as electronic items, office supplies, files etc… Fortunately, I was by myself in my office. All my employees had already left. So I could feel guilty if one of them had to die or be hurt because of me.
On my way back home, I was just counting corpses, running people, demolished residences and broken vehicles. My soul was quite invaded by dismay, anguish, anxiety and fear.
Unlike my office building, my house was not affected by the quake because it was built on the rock – in the mountain.
Losing my agency, my job, some close friends - and feeling sorry for many people, I had to cope anyway with my new living condition. Luckily, I had joined as an interpreter, guide and assistant in the Mental Health Department of the International Medical Corps (IMC), a well-known organisation which came to Haiti for the International Disaster Relief Team / Haiti Emergency 2010 program. Hence, I met Dr Peter Hughes, one of my supervisors, an Irish psychiatrist based in London who had politely asked me to write this article for his blog. Meanwhile, I have been looking for assistance to re-establish my business organisation – which is just a pain in the neck!
Finally, as an Environmental journalist, it is obvious that the 12 January natural disaster had completely turned Haiti upside down. The thinking and acting way of the Haitian people along with their international good friends and sponsors must change by developing a new sense of responsibility in future.
The quake had publicly unveiled the nudity of Haitians and their foreign partners. Nothing really important has been done in Haiti for the last 206 years such as a lack of a good infrastructure system, no project had been implemented with a long-lasting development and management goal and so on...
Of course, Haitians cannot help themselves. Billions of dollars have been spent in Haiti. Nevertheless, for decades, the islanders have been splashing around an awful misery under the monitoring and/or with the agreement of their international fellows. Let's say that on the one hand, Haiti has always been located in a very troublesome ecological region. Thus, the earthquake was just a fact – not an event! Awareness was raised and warnings were given by many specialists from different skylines.
Since last year, the Haitian Environmental Reporters Network (REHPE) has been carrying out an Environmental Education Campaign throughout the country for which it has gotten no support of any kind! On the other hand, we can only count the days we are living on the island. So wisdom is a must – what about common sense?

It is now over a month since the earthquake. We have just had the three days of mourning here in Port-au-Prince. The flags have now gone up again throughout Haiti. There is normality now to daily life. Walking past and over the rubble, and getting used to the tent life of almost everyone and still an even greater number with no shelter. The General Hospital has less and less earthquake-related injuries and more everyday gunshot wounds, which were a feature of Haiti life before, unfortunately. We have had a few recent quakes in the past few days. Further bits of buildings crumble and fall.
We went to the inpatients at the General Hospital. There are many stuck inside a building and immobile. They were all very scared of further quakes and the roof falling in on them but at the same time were very stoical and gracious. Just as we were about to start to think of returning to buildings the quakes have held us back. I have managed to sleep through every quake so far and seem oblivious, even when everyone else is running out of buildings! That's something I've got to change! For anyone who has experienced the earthquake, they seem primed here to feel an intense visceral fear and run out of buildings as fast as they can. Normality also returns with rubble clearing. This may well expose more of the corpses.
Local people are trying to salvage anything they can - metal, wood. What is most alarming is people going into the ruins of a huge market in Port-au-Prince as in the picture. There is a central hall which has multiple floors of pan caked building above it. Yet these children and adults risk their lives every day going in to see what they can find.
We are seeing a lot of patients who have an anxiety and somatisation state. They are fearful since the earthquake and fear being in any building. We see many manifestations of this with cases of chest pain, palpitations and headaches.
Today I saw an adult male who clearly had autism, although never diagnosed. The family are on the streets since the earthquake. With the change of routine and the stress he has started to bite himself severely on his body, causing severe self-inflicted wounds.
There are a lot of people, women particularly, who have gone mute since the earthquake. I still can't work out what this is exactly. Is it a type of dissociation/shock, depression and anxiety? Another woman today was screaming and wailing with an abdominal pain. She has been a frequent attender at the emergency tent. This is since the earthquake where she lost her parents, brothers, sisters and cousins.
Another case I saw was an aggressive young man in our emergency room. What was a most difficult task as a UK psychiatrist was having to restrain and tie him to the bed with bandages. I was impressed with how humanely this was done and helped by his mother. It is an uncomfortable thing to watch when I compare with UK psychiatry. Here, there was no option at that time.
We continue to roll out our training to health workers in primary and secondary care. It is a joy to teach such an appreciative and receptive audience. I'm beginning to really see how we can make an impact on improving mental health in this region through our training and participation in clinical work. This is all thanks to the enthusiasm of our Haiti health hosts.
Still in my tent one month on!
I write now just over one week into my stay in Haiti. I left Santo Domingo finally by helicopter with volunteers, almost all from USA with International Medical Corps. They are medical, nursing and other staff who have volunteered for 2 week periods of volunteer work in the main general hospital of Port-au-Prince.
Arriving in Port-au-Prince into a suburban area, and not even an airport, did not reveal the full extent of the earthquake. The effect of the earthquake is so sporadic. Buildings here are intact and then a random, collapsed one. However there does not seem to be a single street that has not been ravaged by the earthquake. Every building is a tomb for an unknown number of people.Yet walking around Port-au -Prince life goes on as normal. But everywhere people are staying in tents including myself. We don't know when the next earthquake or aftershock will arrive.
Local people who have been through the earthquake are petrified to be indoors. Gradually I see more and more destruction each day. It is an eerie experience to see building after building reduced to rubble and all the human life that goes with this. Each day I see the tensions on the street as people fight, as distribution of food leads to long queues and frayed tempers.
Every day I pass by the market area which was one of the largest in the region. It is unclear how many people perished here. A huge building has collapsed to absolute rubble. Now youths are scrambling up mounds of rubble to loot any items from the market.
My work is based in the Mars and Kline Psychiatry hospital where they kindly collaborate with us. We are hoping to support their health systems in the main psychiatric hospital and gradually spread out through primary care throughtout the earthquake affected region. This hospital holds 100 patients but the majority left after the earthquake when they were fearful of staying in such a structure. All the staff have been touched by the earthquake, losing family, friends and neighbours. Most of the staff are sleeping on the street still. For example, one of the nurses today showed me all of her mosquito bites as she is still sleeping outside with no shelter. Yet they still manage to come to work and care for the patients.
The inpatients seem to be predominantly suffering from psychosis. The courtyard for the patients is riven with a long gash from the earthquake. The perimeter walls have collapsed. Fortunately no patient was injured in the earthquake. The outpatient service is tent-based outside. The earthquake has exposed patients' vulnerabilities. I saw one man who had lost a son and his only other offspring, the other son, was paralysed. He had become manic as a result. Other patients were unable to get their medications for their psychosis because of the disruption, and have had a relapse of their symptoms. There is a lot of anxiety amongst the population, and amongst the mentally ill, particularly in relation to going into buildings. Many people somatise to chest pain.
The other area of work is the General Hospital, which is tented with many USA and other volunteers supporting the Hospital, which struggles to meet the needs after the earthquake. The majority of the patients are in tents. There are many amputations. Today I spoke to a man who was about to have a below knee amputation. Next to him was a young girl with bilateral below knee amputation. Friday , Saturday and Sunday are a national day of mourning in this tented city for the catastrophic loss of life and livelihood. I now return to my own tent!
2.2.2010 Santo Domingo, The Dominican RepublicAs I write, I am currently waiting in Santo Domingo to go by land to Haiti around 2am. Haiti had a massive earthquake on 12 January 2010. Didn't think too much of this, but a few days later I had a call from the International Medical Corps asking me to be part of a mental health programme, led by Dr Lynn Jones. This aims to strengthen and develop mental health services after the earthquake.
From that point it has been hectic trying to organise my travel and all my arrangements. My employers, South West London and St. George's Mental Health NHS trust, have supported me fully in this endeavour and have released me from my work for this time.
One of my tasks was to try and organise some medical supplies for Haiti. Support has been incredible. Through fundraising, I raised over £7000 of donations which has gone into buying medication which I can take directly to Haiti. Sticking to the required essential medication list, my three large boxes are packed with haloperidol, procyclidine, amitryptiline, fluoxetine, chlorpromazine to name a few. It is important to have a sustainable medical supply until supplies are re-established.
My journey to Haiti was made smoother when people found out my destination. Even at Heathrow, I was sped through towards the plane. In Miami, staff literally blessed me on! It was touching and certainly helped me get through transit to Santo Domingo. The flight to the Dominican Republic was full of relief workers; many were church-based and were from the US.
Santo Domingo - the scale of the earthquake really starts to hit me. On international development work scales, this has been the most exhausting, upsetting and personally demanding for those first on site. The relief effort has been going remarkably well all things considered. The first wave of emergency relief is coming to an end and now is heading towards the stage of future sustainable development.

Vacated library could become new home for Sylva police
Written by Josh Mitchell- Cullowhee advocates seek to sharpen vision of community plan
- Jackson leaders search for equity in fire tax debate
- Sylva getting pretty good at filling empty town board seats
- Cullowhee planning initiative out of the gate at last
- Sylva leaders adopt streetscape plan for Main Street, N.C. 107
- New checkpoint procedures implemented in Jackson
- WNC native tapped for EDC post in Jackson
- Whittier sewer line on the slow road to bankruptcy
The Sylva Police Department may find a new home in the Jackson County Public Library on Main Street once the library moves to its new location.
The building would become available for the police department in December 2010 when the library moves into its new home on the hill behind the historic courthouse.
Police Chief Jeffrey Jamison said the library building would be ideal for the police department because it has good visibility on Main Street and is a good size.
"I think it would take care of the police department's needs well into the future," Jamison said.
The Sylva town commissioners directed Jamison to contact the county and ask about acquiring the library building. Jamison said he spoke with County Manger Ken Westmoreland who said that the county would be willing to sell or lease the building. But Jamison said Westmoreland did not quote any prices.
Jamison said the big question now is whether the building will be affordable. He said he proposed possibly trading a piece of town property for the library, but the county was only interested in a lease or a purchase of the building. Jamison said the police department has a lack of space in its current location next to town hall.

As part of designer Ian Anderson's workshop I was set the task of doing something pointless for an hour and then documenting whatever it is I did.
I decided to do play my guitar for an hour. But only one note, on one string. I played the open E string every 2 seconds for an hour. That's 1800 times. Fuck me.
I documented it in the form of and audio recording and a 33 page musical score. All 1800 notes are hand drawn, a process which took me over 1hr30mins.
Why is this pointless?
-From the POV of a listener it is boring, uninspiring and everything music shouldn't be.
-From the POV of me, or anyone else playing the music on an instrument, it is boring, tiresome, offers no means of expressing yourself and you don't learn anything. The opposite of what playing an instrument should be about.

Oct. 25—Fryless Friday headlines the daily healthy food options at the G.N. Wilcox Memorial Hospital cafeteria in Lihue, Hawaii.
"The Wilcox Hospital cafeteria has gone 'fryless' one day a week — Fridays —as a small and still delicious step along the healthier-eating path," Katie Gallo, community relations director at Wilcox Hospital, said. "They're making it easy with great-tasting, healthier versions of old and new favorites like hot soft taco salad with roasted pulled chicken meat, or beans, and in lieu of the crunchy taco shells, the culinary staff uses steamed flour tortillas, Pulehu chicken which required broiling and baking, grilled Mahi with caper sauce, chicken papaya and vegetarian panini sandwiches. The deep fryer is not used on Fridays."

WordPress becomes the worldwide use publishing platforms these days. Indeed, many individuals find it very interesting because of many features they have, that actually different from the other blogging sites. They are not the typical publishing sites with limited features only.
In fact, it has several styles available that are included in the WordPress setting such as pages, posts and most popular the customizing admin area. Apart from, it has newly updated content management system for keeping all the procedures intact. In fact, WordPress is considered as one of the excellent CMS existing today. It is because they have various features that cater for all types of users, whether you are a publisher, co-authors or average consumer. Moreover, they have systematized graphic interface, which needed for commands. Just like, for instance, in handling several posts, editing and Export feature.
However, the WordPress to some people is difficult if you don't have any idea on the main features. Furthermore, we are making now this information a lot easier for our valued customer as well as customizing the admin area. This process can be done individually by following diligently the steps below.

Although, some considered this clutter and needs to be remove. However, removing this will help you at the same time to download your theme a bit faster.
Moreover, if you don't need the excerpts field or custom fields, you can either delete them from your site by using accurate snippet code. Usually, the snippet code is remove_meta_box() function. Then again, set all the parameters first before starting a new process. Actually, the first parameter will look like this: meta box's HTML ID, but this is only the sample feature you want to remove. Apart from, you can use the Web Developer Toolbar if you want to determine your ID feature value in such section in which consisting of <div>. Just, for instance, your Custom ID is #postcustom, therefore, the parameters you're going to use is postcustom. Then, your second parameter is the page, but actually it can be either of the following: link, post and page. Moreover, you can also delete the trackbacks checkbox and custom field as well as status of the comments.
Deleting Items from the Page Columns and Post
Typically, the WordPress Admin area can display all your content lists by using tables in grid or columns.

Judge: Wikileaks gets its domain name back
Updated at 1:42 p.m. and again at 5:02 p.m. PST.
SAN FRANCISCO--Wikileaks is getting its domain name back.
After spending more than three hours hearing arguments from a raft of attorneys--two representing the Swiss bank that fought to get the site's plug pulled and about 10 who have been trying to get the site back online--a federal judge here has ruled in favor of Wikileaks.
Wikileaks, which uses Wikileaks.org as its primary domain, is a whistle-blowing site that focuses on posting leaked documents.
"The court denies the motion for preliminary injunction, and … Read more
