DATE & TIME: Wednesday, December 30th, 10:35 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: McKeon Pavilion (3,500) -- Moraga, California. Television: None. Home Record: Howard 0-1, SMC 7-1. Away Record: Howard 0-6, SMC 4-0. Neutral Record: Howard 1-4, SMC 1-1. Conference Record: Howard 1-0, SMC 0-0. Series Record: Saint Mary's-CA leads, 1-0.
GAME NOTES: The final game in the annual Shamrock Classic in Moraga takes place tonight, as the streaking Saint Mary's-CA Gaels take on the slumping Howard Bison at McKeon Pavilion.
Last night, the Gaels posted their second straight win and the 10th in the last 11 outings as they completely dominated an overmatched Binghamton program, 85-57. Following this matchup, the Gaels will take a break and return to action at San Francisco on January 8th to open the West Coast Conference portion of their schedule.
As for the Bison, the team experienced nothing new on Tuesday evening when they suffered a 73-50 loss versus Stephen F. Austin in first-round action of this event. The defeat was the third in a row and the 11th in 12 opportunities this season for the ailing program.
Before Howard gets into the bulk of its MEAC schedule in January, the team still has meetings with locals George Washington and Navy to deal with in the first week of the new year.
With respect to the all-time series between these two schools on the hardwood, the Gaels won the only previous meeting with a 97-48 rout of Howard two years ago.
For the first couple of minutes on Tuesday it appeared Howard might be in contention against the Lumberjacks, but that was before SFA went on an 11-0 run and blew the game wide open. The Bison hurt themselves with a mere 5-of-20 shooting from the field in the first half and 10-of-20 accuracy at the free- throw line overall. Calvin Thompson, who came off the bench for Howard, was the lone double-digit scorer for the program with his 16 points on 6-of-15 shooting from the field. Over the course of the first 12 games, Thompson leads the program with his 12.8 ppg, again, the only double-digit scorer for the group to this point in the campaign. Second in rebounding with slightly more than four per contest, Thompson is also leading with 23 assists. Unfortunately, team play has been sorely lacking for the Bison as they average barely eight assists per game, resulting in a mere 54.7 ppg.
The Gaels used their perimeter prowess to easily handle the Bearcats yesterday, matching a season-high with 13 three-pointers, on 25 attempts in the 28-point victory at home. Mickey McConnell handled the action on the perimeter for the squad with his 5-of-7 effort behind the three-point line and seven assists, arriving at a team-best 24 points along the way. Omar Samhan, the dominating big man in the WCC, registered 15 points, nine boards and five blocked shots, while Matthew Dellavedova posted 19 points as he too made five three-pointers, while Binghamton missed all 14 of its attempts beyond the arc. Samhan is a beast in the paint for SMC with his 20.6 points and 11.0 rebounds per game, both of which easily lead the Gaels right now. While Samhan settles in near the rim, it is McConnell's job to direct traffic on the outside and put his teammates in the right position and the guard has done that to the tune of 85 assists in 14 starts. The duo also put forth a strong effort at the defensive end of the floor as well where the guard has 24 steals and the center 29 blocked shots to help give the Gaels a scoring advantage of almost 15.0 ppg at the moment.
This is another game in which the Gaels can pad their stats and gain confidence as they get ready to begin their league schedule next month.

An Autism Diagnosis: Still the Key to Unlocking Needed Services?
Filed under: Children's Issues, Health Insurance, Health Reform, Mental Health, New Jersey, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Cross-Posted at Bill of Health
In a recent, very moving, post about her son's diagnosis with autism at age eight, blogger Amy Storch writes: "I guess I should mention the obvious — district services for Autism are much more comprehensive than ADHD." An autism diagnosis should not, as a matter of law, be the key that unlocks needed special education services. Both autism and ADHD "count" as disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (the relevant regulation is here), and the Act provides that a child with either diagnosis who needs special education services is entitled to an educational program "designed to meet their unique needs." As a matter of fact, though, an autism diagnosis may mean—as it apparently does in Storch's school district—a more comprehensive program. An autism diagnosis can also be the key to getting necessary services outside of the school setting, through private health insurance.
According to the advocacy group Autism Speaks, 37 states plus the District of Columbia and the United States Virgin Islands have enacted laws requiring state-regulated private health insurance plans to pay for applied behavior analysis and other therapies children with autism often need. As I blogged about previously here, some of these state insurance mandates are relatively broad—New Jersey's law requires private insurers to cover applied behavior analysis for children with autism, but also to cover occupational, physical, and speech therapy for individuals with "autism or another developmental disability." Other states' mandates, however, are strictly limited to children on the autism spectrum. Daniela Caruso of Boston University School of Law writes about Florida's decision to limit its insurance mandate to children with autism here, attributing it at least in part to advocates' success persuading legislators to view autism through a "dual frame of beauty and invasion."
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's requirement that individual and small group health insurance plans cover ten essential health benefits, and in particular its requirement that plans cover "rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices," promised to ease access to applied behavior analysis and other therapies often needed by children by autism. Habilitative care is left undefined in the statute, but it is defined at HealthCare.gov as "[h]ealth care services that help you keep, learn, or improve skills and functioning for daily living," for example "therapy for a child who isn't walking or talking at the expected age."
There is a wrinkle, however. As Michelle Andrews discusses in this article at Kaiser Health News, applied behavior analysis and other therapies might fall into the category "rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices," but a case can be made that they also fall into another covered category, "mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment." This is of significance because if autism therapies are habilitative services, they can be subject to non-dollar limits, for example limits on the number of hours or units of service that an insurance company will cover. If they are mental health services, then the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 would apply and such limits might not be permissible.
In her article, Michelle Andrews highlights a bulletin issued by the Connecticut's Insurance Department in April of this year in which it determined that health insurance plans could convert the dollar limit on "behavioral therapy" set forth in the state's autism insurance mandate into non-dollar limits. The Insurance Department wrote that "[b]ecause the behavioral therapy benefits are classified as habilitative benefits, they are not considered subject to mental health parity. This is consistent with HHS guidance and with the approach taken by other states."
Connecticut's autism insurance mandate defines "behavioral therapy" as "any interactive behavioral therapies derived from evidence-based research, including, but not limited to, applied behavior analysis, cognitive behavioral therapy, or other therapies supported by empirical evidence of the effective treatment of individuals diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, that are: (A) Provided to children less than fifteen years of age, and (B) provided or supervised by (i) a behavior analyst who is certified by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, (ii) a licensed physician, or (iii) a licensed psychologist." There may be a meaningful difference between "behavioral therapy" and mental health services, but it is not obvious to me from the statutory definition.
Could this be a case where the autism diagnosis functions to limit access to services, however categorized or defined? Michelle Andrews quotes Sara Rosenbaum of George Washington University's School of Public Health and Health Services as follows: "The parity rule seems to say you can't play games like this."
"Distressed Babies" and Employment-Based Health Coverage
Filed under: Children's Issues, Health Insurance, Health Law, Health Reform, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
AOL CEO Tim Armstrong was the center of a story bringing together issues of whining one-percenters, employees' rights to privacy in their health information, and the growing evidence that some employers are simply not good agents for their employees' health coverage.
Armstrong is an accident-prone speaker. Most recently, he gained attention for the way he explained a change in AOL's methods of contributing to employees' 401(k) plans. AOL announced that I planned to shift from a system by which employees received matches for their contributions each pay period, to one in which the company contributes only at the end of the year. AOL has been criticized for this move, as it deprives employees who move on during the year of any contributions, and denies ongoing employees a substantial amount of the money's time value. AOL has had second thoughts, and apparently will not change its current 401(k) policy.
But Armstrong's curious explanations for the harsh move generated more interest than the change itself, and the story therefore lives on. After initially explaining that Obamacare made him do it, a published informal transcript of his remarks to employees has him shifting the blame in part to the cost of care for two mothers and children covered by AOL's employee health plan:
[W]e had two AOLers that had distressed babies that were born that we paid a million dollars each to make sure those babies were okay in general.
It is not clear from the reports what Armstrong meant by "distressed babies." Also unexplained was how this particular health cost so deeply affected AOL, with over 5,000 employees, $2.3 Billion in gross revenue in 2013 (and second on Fortune's list for profit growth), and with a CEO pulling down over $12 Million. Of course some insureds use more health care than others in any year; that's why the cost-spreading mechanism of health insurance is so important. Or, as Deanna Fei, identifying herself in Slate as the mother of one of the babies, said,
[W]e experienced exactly the kind of unforeseeable, unpreventable medical crisis that any health plan is supposed to cover. Isn't that the whole point of health insurance?
In short, the message is that two covered families suffered catastrophic childbirth experiences last year, and those experiences justified a reduction in retirement benefits. Really. But as even the WSJ noted, employees have privacy rights in their medical information. And the vivid description of the employees' experiences may well constitute the release of Protected Health Information (PHI), leading to the families and their medical experiences being outed to coworkers and others.
AOL may be self-insured, in which case it operates a health plan that may be a covered entity for HIPAA purposes. And/or, AOL may have a Business Associate relationship with an insurer, third party administrator, or other covered entity. It appears, in any event, that Armstrong may have received PHI regarding these two employees – and then felt free to use the PHI as a talking point. AOL and/or its plan may have to deal with charges of violation of the following HIPAA regulation:
[With some exceptions,] a group health plan, in order to disclose protected health information to the plan sponsor or to provide for or permit the disclosure of protected health information to the plan sponsor by a health insurance issuer or HMO with respect to the group health plan, must ensure that the plan documents restrict uses and disclosures of such information by the plan sponsor consistent with the requirements of this subpart.
45 CFR 164.504(f)(1)(i). It is unlikely that disclosing the information to justify cutting back on pension benefits is a permitted disclosure.
In addition, the ADA (see 42 USC § 12112(d)) limits the use of medical information by employers – whether or not the employee is a person with a disability. The EEOC states [ ] the general rule well:
Medical records are confidential. The basic rule is that with limited exceptions, employers must keep confidential any medical information they learn about an applicant or employee.
So, Armstrong's discussion of his employees' medical condition might violate the law. The tone of Armstrong's message with respect to his employees' benefits also raises an issue I've touched on in a previous post. Briefly stated, the compromises leading to the enactment of the Affordable Care Act left employment-based health coverage at the center of our health care system. Most employers are good stewards of their employees' health coverage, and make decisions in the employees' best interest. Some do not embrace the role of faithful agent for their employees in such matters – far from it. As we work to improve the implementation of the ACA, we should be mindful that there were and are other ways to organize our health insurance system, many of which would take the Tim Armstrongs of the world out of the position of making decisions about Americans' health care, divesting him of the power to disclose PHI on a whim, and perhaps protecting his employees from his next cut – perhaps of their health benefits.
Treating Addiction in Pregnant Women and New Mothers: A Promising Application for Social Impact Financing?
Filed under: Children's Issues, Health Care Economics, Health Law
Cross-Posted at Bill of Health
Last week, vtdigger.org ran an interesting article by Laura Krantz on the difficulties pregnant women and new mothers who are addicted to drugs have accessing not just drug treatment but also all of the other services and supports they need. Krantz reported on a hearing before the Human Services Committee of the Vermont House of Representatives at which a new mother in recovery from addiction, "a neonatalogist, a substance abuse clinician, a Health Department employee and a representative from the Phoenix House, a residential treatment facility in Brattleboro … all said women need not only treatment, but housing, transportation and help finding jobs."
Alice Larned, a substance abuse clinician at the Lund Family Center in Burlington, told Krantz that spaces in residential detoxification facilities are increasingly scarce. The demand for transitional housing for women who have completed inpatient detoxification also exceeds the supply. Add to this the sad fact that women can wait a year or more for an appointment with a physician who can treat them with methadone or buprenorphine. Larned told Krantz that many of the women who start treatment with her are taking buprenorphine they bought illegally, an "indication they want help 'yet we don't have the legitimate means for them to get this medication[.]'"
In another story that ran last week on NPR, Steve Zind spoke with Harry Chen, the Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Public Health, who emphasized the complexities inherent in treating addiction in pregnant women and new mothers. To do so successfully, Commissioner Chen explained, "requires so many different systems working together well: the social service system, the health care system, the substance abuse system and even to some extent the correctional system."
I confess that one reason that these two articles caught my attention is that Alice Larned is my sister. Another reason, though, is that the problem described in the articles seems like a promising application for social impact financing, something that has been in the news here in New Jersey in recent weeks.
The Federal Circuit Decides Future Lost Earnings Award Not Authorized in Vaccine Case in Which Child Died
Filed under: Bioethics, Children's Issues, Drugs & Devices, Litigation and Liability
The National Childhood Vaccine Act of 1986 requires parties seeking relief for vaccine-related injuries to proceed through a federal vaccination claims system. If a plaintiff prevails in her suit, she (or her estate) will receive damages for pain, suffering, and expenses. Significantly, other awards include death benefits or future earnings. On October 28, 2013, the Federal Circuit answered in the negative the question of "whether the estate of a petitioner who dies prior to judgment is entitled to compensation for lost future earnings."
Tembenis v. Secretary of Health & Human Services arose out of the epilepsy four-month-old Elias Tembenis developed following vaccination for Diptheria–Tetanus–acellular–Pertussis. His parents filed a Petition for Vaccine Compensation but while the petition was still pending, Elias died of his disorder at age seven. In 2010, a special master determined the vaccine caused Elias' epilepsy and death.
After the special master's determination, Elias' estate and the Secretary of Health and Human Services agreed on damages. The estate received a $250,000 death benefit, $175,000 for actual pain and suffering and past unreimbursable expenses, and $659,955.61 in future lost earnings. The Secretary reserved the right to challenge the future lost earnings award; the special master determined that Federal Circuit precedent suggested that the estate was entitled to lost earnings. The Secretary appealed to the Claims Court which upheld the special master's ruling.
The Secretary then appealed to the Federal Circuit. The Circuit court analyzed 42 U.S.C. § 300aa–15(a)(3)(B):
In the case of any person who has sustained a vaccine-related injury before attaining the age of 18 and whose earning capacity is or has been impaired by reason of such person's vaccine-related injury for which compensation is to be awarded and whose vaccine-related injury is of sufficient severity to permit reasonable anticipation that such person is likely to suffer impaired earning capacity at age 18 and beyond, compensation after attaining the age of 18 for loss of earnings determined on the basis of the average gross weekly earnings of workers in the private, non-farm sector, . . .
The Federal Circuit interpreted the language to determine the statute only allows for recovery of future lost earnings. The Court acknowledged the statute does not expressly require a claimant to be alive, but it also does not expressly state an estate can recover future lost earnings of a decedent.
The Court observed that the word "impaired" implies the victim must be living. When the claimant dies before 18, no reasonable expectation exists that she would be working after 18. Thus entitlement to a future lost earnings award is dependent upon the claimant being alive. Further, the Court stated, receiving both a death benefit and a future lost earnings award would be duplicative. The Court took pains to express sympathy to the family, noting that the death benefit of $250,000 was due to be increased as it had not been amended since the statute's enactment in 1986. However, the amount of payment can only be changed by Congress and even if it does happen, it will be of no consolation or compensation to the Tembenis family.
Concussion Prevention: When Equal Treatment Might Not Make Good Policy
Filed under: Children's Issues, Proposed Legislation, Public Health, State Initiatives
I was stunned to learn recently that female lacrosse players, at least in my town in New Jersey, may not wear hard helmets even though male lacrosse players must wear them. This struck me as ludicrous and unfair. Both sports involve athletes running around with long sticks, hurling dense rubber balls at high speeds. It seemed to me that balls and sticks can strike players in the head and players can collide in either sport. How could we care more about preventing traumatic brain injury (TBI) in boys than in girls? I was outraged. But as it turned out, I also was a bit uninformed. It is not as clear as I thought it would be that we should require girls to wear helmets.
A common objection is that female and male lacrosse are very different sports subject to different rules and requiring different skills. Male lacrosse involves much more brute physical contact, whereas female lacrosse does not permit body checking and demands finesse. As a female senior lacrosse player explains, because girls' lacrosse sticks have shallower pockets, girls "'have to be more skilled with our cradling, . . . [so our] game is more graceful.'" A male senior midfielder acknowledged that the girls' "'stick skills are unbelievable'" and that "'the girls' version is more pure.'" Some believe there is less need for helmets in girls' lacrosse because of these differences. Moreover, there is concern that requiring girls to wear helmets will encourage girls to play more like boys, which would risk losing the valuable uniqueness of girls' lacrosse.
As much as I want to honor female players' pride in their skills and finesse, science should drive the policy decision whether to require girls to wear helmets. Research by Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio reveals that girls' lacrosse has the third-highest rate of concussion among female sports, after soccer and basketball, and "its in-game rate is only about 15 percent less than the rougher male version." But what do we know about whether helmets can reduce that risk? Not enough. Read more

Some women do look better with age. Why? Cosmetic surgery or dermatological procedures can perk things up and certain women admit it. Others claim it's all lucky genes, an addiction to workouts and a strict healthy diet.

HTTPS Extension Adds Default SSL Browsing to Firefox
HTTPS Everywhere encrypts a number of major websites.
The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation have released HTTPS Everywhere, a Firefox extension that activates SSL/TSL encryption on sites that support the security setting, but don't feature it as a default when visiting because of partial support, unsecured trackback links or other issues. To alleviate this problem, HTTPS Everywhere writes all requests in HTTPS.
The EFF mentions that HTTPS Everywhere Twitter, Google, Wikipedia, PayPal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, along with other sites that support the SSL encryption option. It's also possible to write rulesets that define which domains are redirected HTTPS. The EFF offers more information on that here.

text: Chris Farley's Awesome Matt Foley Skit as it Appeared Years Earlier by John Sexton 18 Feb 2014 View Discussion Share This: One of my favorite SNL skits of all time is Chris Farley as motivational speaker Matt Foley. He's the guy who lives in a van down by the river. Collider highlights a video uploaded to You Tube Monday which shows Farley performing the skit years earlier at Second City. The video description says this was opening night in 1990, which would make it three years before it appeared on SNL in 1993. That's Tim Meadows as the son (Farley's friend David Spade played the son in the SNL version.) According to Wikipedia (reliability unknown) there were plans to make the skit into a feature film before Farley died in 1997. As a fan of Farley's other movies, especially Tommy Boy, I would have loved to see that film. Here's the Matt Foley skit as it appeared at Second City:

The Cleveland Cavaliers announced today they have waived rookie Forward Kevin Jones to get their roster down to 15 players.
Jones appeared in only 2 games during the NBA Preseason. He had 6 rebounds in 13 minutes during a game against Orlando. He did not score nor attempt a shot during the exhibition games.
A huge reason Jones remained on the roster until the final cuts came down is that head coach Byron Scott loved Jones' toughness, work ethic and rebounding. He was guaranteed $50,000 when he signed his contract.
Jones could get picked up by another team. If not, the Cavaliers have first right of refusal if he goes to the NBDL. The Cavs D-League team is the Canton Charge where Mike Gansey is the Director of D-League Operations.
We will let you know Jones' next destination as soon as it is available.

Top Preckwinkle appointee abruptly resigns, creating speculation
BY BRIAN SLODYSKO Staff Reporter December 19, 2013 7:24PM

Article Extras
Updated: January 21, 2014 11:18AM
Days after she was heaped with praise at a civic luncheon, a top appointee of Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle abruptly left her position this month — offering little explanation for her departure but creating plenty of speculation.
Chief Information Officer Lydia Murray had pledged to "take the county from oil lamps to LED lighting" during a Dec. 3 speech at the City Club, a public affairs forum frequented by civic leaders and elected officials.
"The county is remaking itself in really remarkable ways, and it's really exciting to be a part of that renaissance," Murray said during the luncheon.
Moments before, Preckwinkle introduced her as one of the people helping on "this path toward reform."
"I am very grateful to her for her good work," Preckwinkle said. "I've been blessed because a lot of good people have been willing to come to county government in the last three years and help us on this path toward reform, and Lydia is surely one of those."
But just seven days later, Murray "resigned" as the county's technology guru, citing "personal reasons," according to a memo issued by Preckwinkle's office.
And a YouTube video of her speech was scrubbed from a blog operated by Preckwinkle's staff shortly thereafter.
Murray, who was hired for the post a year ago, declined to comment but released a short statement saying she "tendered my resignation for personal reasons," calling it a "difficult decision."
The move caught many off guard, including several commissioners who used phrases like "very competent," "incredibly proficient" and "extremely helpful" to describe Murray. Some said they thought Murray was in for the long haul.
"If you saw the archaic-ness of our communications systems . . . and where we are now — a tip of the hat to her," said Commissioner Jeff Tobolski, a Democrat who is also mayor of west suburban McCook.
Commissioner Larry Suffredin, a Democrat representing northern Cook County, said Murray was "one of the shining stars in county government."
Preckwinkle's office declined to comment on the particulars of Murray's departure, but said all of her projects were still underway.
"All of those projects are still in the works. The mission of the bureau of technology . . . is still full steam ahead," said Preckwinkle spokeswoman Kristen Mack.
Commissioner John Daley, a Preckwinkle ally, described Murray as "very competent." But the Democrat, representing the South Side and south suburbs, added that he didn't think her departure was a big deal.
Elected leaders get to choose their staff and — unlike rank-and-file workers — those chosen for top positions serve at will, he explained.
"I don't know what the issue is," Daley said. "Individuals serve at the pleasure of the president."
Before Preckwinkle hired her, Murray worked for the county as a consultant, but earned a permanent position through her aptitude, Suffredin said. Murray was a veteran administrative staffer previously serving a stint as CTA chief of staff, where she oversaw the rollout of the CTA Bus Tracker app. Before that she was a deputy chief of staff under former Mayor Richard M. Daley.

By virtue of a thrilling and unbelievable 83-78 overtime victory at Clemson, Jamie Dixon's Pitt Panthers (23-8, 11-7 ACC) clinched the No. 5 seed for their first-ever ACC Tournament.
Pitt earned a single bye and will play the winner of No. 12 Wake Forest and No. 13 Notre Dame at Greensboro Coliseum at noon Thursday on ESPN.
The Irish and Demon Deacons will open up the tourney at 1 p.m. Wednesday on ESPN2. Pitt defeated Wake Forest 80-65 at the Pete on Jan. 11. The Panthers recently defeated Notre Dame 85-81 on the road in overtime.
Should Pitt win its first ever ACC tourney game, it will then match up with the No. 4 North Carolina Tar Heels (23-8, 13-5 ACC) on Friday at 2 p.m. on ESPN. Pitt could be looking to avenge a 75-71 loss earlier this season at UNC.
Over its last 13 Big East tournaments, Pitt reached the finals seven times, winning the title in 2003 and 2008. The Panthers will look to continue the success in their new conference.

Sexist companies and advertising
I feel like compiling a mega-thread / list of companies who are outright sexist or who have sexist or racist advertising so I can always try and buy from their competitors.
If there are companies you know of that are sexist please let me know; along with any references, pictures and the like you can showing why they are sexist.

Sex in advertising: Australia needs a review.
Sophie Mirabella (Australia's shadow minister for industry) attacked explicit billboards and magazine covers, and demanded the "Parental Guidance Recommended" classification be reviewed.
In a speech to the anti-choice, anti-single mother and homophobic group the Australian Family Association, Mirabella claims youngsters are being bombarded with "near-pornographic" video clips in shopping malls and "highly suggestive" promotions at sporting events. Mrs Mirabella said research showed exposure of sexualised images to youngsters had been linked to childhood anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, eating disorders, and self harm.
The points Mirabella made where important and based in fact. Sexualization of children and exposure to overtly sexual content is not appropriate and causes serious harm to children. Numerous studies(Wikipedia has some good sources as always. Also: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) have shown sexual media/advertising exposure has serious consequences on the development of children and later in life. So much so that the Australian Psychological Society had released guidelines for parents dealing with "the bombardment of highly sexualised images their children experience". (Not to mention how many similar things USA health/ Psychology boards have posted.)
Mrs Mirabella seems over all to be a pretty on the ball woman. Why she would give this address to such a small and bigoted organization, excluding all others eludes me. While I think her argument, as well as that of AFA is valid and important; the solution they suggest is anything but valid.
Prohibition is not the answer.
This whole debate reminds me of talks in Australia regarding an R18+ rating for video games. Currently; anything deemed not acceptable for 15 year olds is refused classification and is banned from the country. This means games created and marketed at a mature audience can not be enjoyed by an adult audience. it doesn't make sense. The argument for an R18+ rating is that; if such a rating was created it would mean games unfit for children wouldn't be able to get into tiny hands. It relies on parental responsibility: You wouldn't buy your children an R-X 18+ film, so if a game was rated R you would not purchase it for your child.
This is the issue with protecting children from things which are inappropriate but are in public spaces: it has nothing to do with parental responsibility. It doesn't matter if you are a responsible parent- if you take your child outside, ever watch morning weekend tv, listen to the radio, drive past billboards or take them clothes shopping you simply can't protect them from sexist, over sexualized and inappropriate advertising.
Examples: I have chosen these examples because I know some adults like them, some don't. Some find them offensive and some don't. Personally I find the first one funny, the second arousing, the third offensive. Do I want these ads off tv? No. However; they aren't really for kids. I have not linked to any ads I find highly inappropriate. Feel free to use some google-fu on AMI ads, or clothing brands. Even MYER adverts.

Sexual imagery, themes, products and industry have their place in our society. And that place is unquestionably the realm of adults, not children. I agree; it's time for a reform on Australia's advertising and classifications. Parents need to be able to protect their children from such harmful and negative advertising in day to day life. Going to the supermarket for groceries, or sitting down to watch family time tv shouldn't have to involve explaining adult oriented advertisements like the ones listed below to impressionable minds who are not equipped to deal with them.
Self-policing of the advertising industry isn't working and it's time to do something about it.
Sexual imagery, themes, products and industry have their place in our society. And that place is unquestionably the realm of adults, not children. Public space is for people of all ages; adult themes are not for all ages.
*Amendment 1: I do not enjoy sexist/stereotyping/degrading advertisements. However I do not feel that all advertisements containing sex or sexual connotations/imagery are the above.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter. As always the ask box is open.

I support junior doctors coming into A&E 100%, as do my colleagues. Its a tough environment to begin with, and a friendly nursing team can make all the difference. Our docs are always gutted to leave us. I very rarely cannulate / take blood / request X-rays ...because Im a nurse...and I want to nurse people.
But when I see a harrassed, overwhelmed SHO struggling to manage the load on a nightshift, I'm straight there to offer help and support in any way I can. As do my nurse colleagues.

I used to be very good at cannulation and blood draws. But they brought in the support techs who just do that and I completely de-skilled.

If someone male or female talks to the nurses like shit than the nurses get pissed off.

Many nurses believe that female doctors are a lot nastier towards the nurses because they have a complex about being mistaken for nurses.

I seem to get on real well with them. I always try my best to do my best with a smile though. Some nurses are just so miserable. Some doctors too.

I think we are all just stressed out and miserable and taking it out on eachother.

I cannot imagine making an effort to be extra nice to a doctor because he is male or good looking, but then again I am happily married so I don't really notice.Nurse Annehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-79268394107139954922009-02-22T03:04:00.000-08:002009-02-22T03:04:00.000-08:00Anne, ta very much for the support! I've thrown my...Anne, ta very much for the support! I've thrown my bleep at a wall before, and unfortunately it was nurse-provoked - I'd been getting hammered on my base ward (which was the acute medical unit). We also looked after the outliers on the surgical assessment unit, which was well-staffed - sister, 4 staff nurses and 3 HCAs for 18 patients. One of the nurses had been bleeping me for about 5 hours about a cannula in one of her patients - I kept apologising, explaining I had patients trying their best to die on me, and I'd be there when I could.

I eventually turned up at the first chance I could to find the nurse in question cannulating the patient herself. I threw my bleep at the wall and stormed back to AMU to finish the routine stuff on there. Went back and apologised afterwards, but still - aaargh!

Out of interest, do you think the predominantly female nursing staff's attitude to male and female juniors can differ at all? As a fairly cheeky (but able) male who hasn't been hit by the ugly stick too hard, I sometimes find the 'horrible' nurses I've been warned about by colleagues are actually quite lovely to me...email@example.com

We all can work in many ways to change birth. To get some ideas about what you can do, read "26 Ways to Change Birth," a Midwifery Today article by Sara Wickham.
One of my favorite ways to plant seeds of change is to talk to people in the grocery store, on an airplane or wherever I am. I find that if I wear my Midwifery Today T-shirt I am almost always asked, "Are you a midwife?" I use that opening to talk with the person about the advantages of using a midwife. It is a short, sweet bit of activism that you can do anywhere for a minute or two, and you have a great chance of opening that person's mind and maybe even saving a motherbaby the trials often associated with a medicalized hospital birth. I usually let them know that they are in control of avoiding many potential complications with good nutrition. (See my blog post, "Avoid Pregnancy Complications with Nutrition") I always end the conversation by asking the person to promise me they will check out a midwife before going to an obstetrician for a pregnancy. I usually give them our Web site address, which has many great articles they can read.
This approach works much better before a woman is pregnant. The seeds of change are planted more securely before fear sets in and they are already on the medicalized track. For some reason, even when a pregnant woman can see the handwriting of a battled birth on the wall she won't change practitioners. The "why" of that is another article. If we each do all we can, I believe that we can turn this nightmare of medicalized birth around. Birth is a miracle. Help make it so.
You can buy the Midwifery Today Logo T-shirt here. It comes in several different colors.

You can help reduce the chances of a plug wire pulling loose from the spark plug terminal by adding shrink wrap over the end of the boot and the first inch or two of wire. Most manufacturers sell pre-cut shrink wrap for this purpose, but I use stuff my local speed shop sells for insulating battery cables because it is thick, works just as well and-most of all-it's cheap! At the bottom of this photo is a plug boot right out of the box. In the center is a boot with a short length of shrink wrap slid as far up over the boot as I could get it. And at the top is a boot and wire after the shrink wrap has been heated until it has shrunk into position.

Town gives Village $3,000 for peacocks
Date: May 21, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Longboat Key Town Commission agreed to give the Longbeach Village Association $3,000 to cull the number of peacocks in the Village this summer — and every summer thereafter — at its Thursday, May 21 regular workshop.
The Village is currently home to about 60 peacocks.
Commissioner Gene Jaleski urged the commission to consider reducing the number of peacocks to a dozen birds, which would cost the town more money initially but less money in future years.
But the consensus was to give $3,000 a year, and the association can always come back to the town if the peacock reduction is not sufficient.
