Why size doesn't matterMedia agencies, be they independent or multinational, are often very focused on the size of their overall billings. Match Media founder John Preston argues that the industry's preoccupation with billings is unhelpful, particularly within the independent media agency space. There appears to be a fair amount of preoccupation at the moment around size... i.e. size of billings rather than the quality of work created. And, the size of billings seems to be a shout-out from some media independents.
Where does Campaign Brief stand on scam?Michael Lynch, boss of industry website Campaign Brief has questions to answer with agencies about his true position on scam, argues Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes. It can get a little boring when the trade press writes about itself, so my apologies if you find what follows a little tedious. Doubly so, if you feel we've been writing too much about the topic of scam. This morning I find myself the subject of some media coverage (if you count an item in the diary section of The Australian and a follow-up on Campaign Brief).
What Australia's fake, formulaic and contrived work could learn from the humanity of AfricaAustralia's "fake, formulaic and contrived" creative work could learn a few things from the insight-driven cream of African advertising, argues Pat Baron. I've just had the privilege and pleasure of spending a week of 14-hour working days poring over the most creative and effective work created in Africa and the Middle East, as Jury Chairman at The Loeries, Africa's largest brand communication awards. The contrasts with our work here in Australia – and the lessons for marketers and agencies alike – are profound.
What goes into making an AFL Club's 'brand'?With the AFL finals in full swing, Team Epic head of strategy Tony McKay looks at why some clubs are always in the news, irrespective of their performances, while others fade from the headlines. Why are some AFL clubs always in the news, seemingly always relevant and contributing to the footy story, regardless of on-field performance week-to week? And yet other clubs seem to almost disappear as soon as the losses outnumber the wins? Look at the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda in 2014. Poor performers, yes, but also largely anonymous. When did you last hear a spirited footy discussion about either club? What's their brand story at the moment?
Is wearable tech an opportunity for pharma to be more caring?With wearable tech set to burgeon Peita Pacey takes a look at the opportunities which are presenting themselves in the healthcare sector for brands. In the olden days, you know like 5 years ago, when people felt ill or just not quite ourselves they went to the doctors. Nowadays their usual first point of call is to contact Dr Google, who is most likely helpful enough to diagnose them with a rare form of incurable cancer at which they run screaming from our screens into the waiting room of an actual doctor who rolls their eyes and prescribes us with some R&R.
Credit where it's due: Margaret and David - bringing the curtain downAfter yesterday's announcement the ABC is wrapping At the Movies at the end of the year we give Credit Where its Due to one of the longest on-screen partnerships in Aussie TV, Margaret and David. As Margaret always acknowledged, they were like an old married couple, but without the sex. Quarrelling, bickering and occasionally agreeing. But it was all done with mutual respect and genuine affection. We refer, of course, to Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton, known by movie fans across Australia simply as Margaret and David. Surnames were rendered superfluous for two of TV's most respected and popular presenters.
Bitter tweet: defamation in social mediaAhead of a video hangout on Wednesday answering your legal questions Stephen von Muenster looks at how defamation law is evolving in social media. 140 defamatory characters posted in the Twitter-sphere could cost tens of thousands of dollars in damages, the New South Wales District Court has held. The case reignites the complexities of defamation law in a world where everyone is a publisher and information is disseminated across the globe at the click of a button.
Why 'free' will eventually cost youModern marketing is taking services and products that used to be free and adding subtle charges for them, argues Andrew Hughes of the Australian National University in a cross-posting from The Conversation. Remember the days when free really was free? When reading a news article to the end didn't mean having to get over, around or through a paywall. Or when loyalty schemes actually rewarded loyalty with decent rewards, not "spend $200 get a $20 reward voucher that can only be spent with us".
Credit where it's due: Devondale - brave and bold marketing to build a brandIn a new column Mumbrella celebrates the best people and work in the industry. Today we recognise dairy brand Devondale for its work with creative agency DDB which saw the brand revitalise a tired sector. It's a common moan from creatives in Australia there aren't many clients willing to take a risk with their brand due to the grip of a conservative corporate culture. But one brand which has given its agency free-reign to push boundaries, and reaped the rewards, is Devondale.
Has social media failed e-commerce?Following the launch of Twitter's "Buy" button earlier this week, Peter Cassidy, co-founder of Stackla, examines how social media drives potential consumers to retail websites. The success and rapid adoption of social media made it inevitable that businesses would look to social to drive online sales. New social platforms came with the promise of unprecedented reach, providing retailers with the means to drive swarms of qualified prospects to their websites. The truth of course, is that social media didn't deliver on the promise.
The new iPhones may not be revolutionary, but they are refining the experienceWith the launch of two new iPhones today DT's Jason Deacon says Apple has done the job of redefining mobile experiences. When you pick up a phone in a store the first thing that grabs your attention is the display. It's the feather fascinator on a Melbourne Cup goer. The 'new and improved' sticker on your washing detergent. The hundreds and thousands on white bread.
Social media influence is a fallacy
Following yesterday's opinion piece on the power of social media ambassadors yesterday Eaon Pritchard argues the idea of influencers is actually flawed.
The idea that brands can pick out and target a small group of social media users with large 'followings' and then imagine that they will reach everyone else with their message is still prevalent however this influencer theory is a myth and its protagonists have got things the wrong way round.
Credit where it's due - Lee Lin Chin, a newsreader with gravitas and comedy geniusIn a new column Mumbrella celebrates the best people and work in the industry. Today we salute 20-year SBS veteran Lee Lin Chin, who traverses the serious world of news with a more light-hearted approach. There aren't many newsreaders who can successfully make the leap to light entertainment, but Lee Lin Chin can put that feather in her cap. Not content with being a mainstay on the po-faced SBS World News since 1992, Lee Lin has been engaging and delighting a younger audience with her regular appearances on SBS2's The Feed.
The power of cool and product placement in social mediaProduct placement is infiltrating social media influencers, but how long will it be before the platforms come for their piece of the pie asks Richie Meldrum? Beauty and popularity have always gone hand in hand. If you think back to the most popular kid at your school, chances are, he or she was blessed with nice hair, clear skin and fortuitous features. Call it natural selection if you like, but the cool kids have courted the attention and admiration of their peers in a relationship dynamic that's been going on as long as anyone can remember.
Credit Where it's Due: Jason Kent - lifting the lid on the Australian movie sceneIn a new regular column Mumbrella recognises the best people and work in the industry. This time it's Jason Kent for daring to ask tough questions of the Australian film industry. It seems to be increasingly rare for people to put their head above the parapet and question their peers. Too often, industries - and not just this one - close ranks, watch each other's backs and fail to address issues that are holding back progress. So take a bow Jason Kent, the founder of Pure Independent Pictures, who is behind a documentary which aims to lift the lid on why Australia's film industry is struggling at the box office.
Mumbrella360 video recap: Meet the marketers
In this week's video recap from Mumbrella360, Camille Alarcon, publisher of The Source chairs a panel of marketers including Kent Hefferman, now former head of brand and advertising, Qantas; John Broome, marketing director, Kellogg's ANZ; Matt Bruhn, global brand director of Smirnoff and former marketing director, Diageo, Australia; Michael Edmonds, general manager global marketing, Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA).
The panel explains what a marketing boss actually does.
The panel talk about the media channels they are currently investing in, why there should be no differentiation between 'traditional' and 'new' media, why film is still going strong as a media channel and why the industry should be talking about boomers.
The panel give advice to other marketers and talk about what would convince them to work with other agencies.
The panel discusses where public relations fits into their marketing mix as well as how their individual brands 'sound'.

A man accused of killing his wife at their Scottsdale home eight months ago has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Judge Sherry Stephens sentenced Michael Jay Cohn on Friday in Maricopa County court.
Late last year, Cohn pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
He originally pleaded not guilty in the case in April 2013 and was facing a charge of first-degree murder.
Scottsdale police spokesman Sgt. Mark Clark said officers went to the home at 16456 N. 103 Place, near Thompson Peak Parkway and Bell Road, about 11 a.m. on March 27, 2013 after Cohn called police and told them he strangled his wife with his bare hands.
When officers arrived, Cohn came out of the home and was arrested, Clark said.
Police found his wife, 60-year-old Linda Cohn, dead inside the home.
Police said no one else was home at the time.
Officers said they noticed blood on Michael Cohn's hands and scratches on his neck, and he asked for an attorney.
Neighbors of the couple told CBS 5 News they were stunned by the incident.

The Blood of Jesus (1941) is a classic example of the "race film" genre of films by African-American directors and casts, geared exclusively for an African-American audience. This film, written and directed by Spencer William Jr. of the TV show Amos & Andy Show (who also played Razz Williams in the film), is a morality tale about a woman (Cathryn Caviness) who is accidentally shot to death by her husband. Facing death, she must choose between Hell, represented as urban life, and Zion, represented as pastoral America, and between Satan and God. The climax comes when she makes her decision at the foot of the cross and wakes up to singing of her church choir. Intended to promote a Black Southern Baptist ideal of a virtuous rural life, the film was a major success and the most popular hit in its genre.

The film has also been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

There's a lot of things wrong with this film, but it is enjoyable despite that.

Subject: The Blood of Jesus
One must look past the genre and the age of the film.
The film tells us that there is a Heaven to be won and a Hell to shun. In these last days of Hurrcanes destroying cities, floods and Tsunamis, Iranian threats of nuclear war, mideast terrorism, impending bird flu, mad cow disease, the 911 trajedy, rampant homosexuality, murder in every city, immorality, aids and STD's, devil worship, famines in many parts of the world, wars and rumors of wars (see Matthew 24) ... it tells us that Jesus Christ is coming first to Rapture his true believers and then the Great Tribulation of seven years of unimaginable devastation ending in the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ to save mankind and the Jewish People. We ARE IN those last days and this film brings to mind the decision everyone will have to make ... whether to be born again and be saved, or whether to reject Christ and face an eternity in Hell/Lake of Fire. After viewing the film I was so glad I was saved and it renewed my faith in Jesus and my love for Him. He is coming in the Rapture very soon. The film is fantastic and everyone who has watched it will be accountable to God .
God bless you all.

Subject: The Devil and Martha Ann Jackson
This religious all-black cast film from the 40s tells the story of Martha Ann Jackson, a young married woman with a no-good husband. Soon after she gets saved and baptized, she is fatally injured in an accident with her husbandÃÂs hunting rifle. Her soul is taken away by an angel, but at the last minute, God decides itÃÂs not her time yet and lets her go back to the land of the living. There the devil sends his envoy, Judas Green, to lure her to the big city with fancy clothes. There, she goes nightclubbing and a friend of JudasÃÂ offers her a ÃÂjob,ÃÂ but once she finds out what the ÃÂjobÃÂ involves, she runs off to return to the straight and narrow path. Unfortunately, she is mistaken for another female ÃÂemployeeÃÂ whoÃÂs a pickpocket, resulting in many of the nightclubÃÂs patrons taking off after her. At the point between Zion and Hell, she is confronted by the devil, but fortunately, having been saved, she has Jesus on her side, who not only repels the devil, but the angry nightclub patrons as well. Like most all-black cast films IÃÂve seen, this film is a confusing mix of authenticity and stereotypes. Ultimately, though, the sincerity of it won me over, enough to even make up for some of the aspects that bothered me, such as holding up the rural life as an ideal despite the fact that for most African-Americans at the time it was a life of grinding poverty. ItÃÂs obvious that a lot of care went into this, and that the occasional amateurish moments are more artifacts of an extremely low budget than of incompetence or lack of vision. And the music is great, both the gospel music of Zion and the jazz and blues of Hell.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: N/A. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: ****.
Subject: Old Black Spiritual
I really enjoyed this piece of media. The black spiritual aspects of it really gave me a solemn reflective sense. Sometimes there just isn't anything better than a black spiritual to make you think about the Love of the Lord.

Subject: A remarkable treasure
A great film by a great entertainer. The producers of this film exhibit tremendous skill and insight in making a film that says so much, so well. Dry humor, subtle sight gags and a solid script. Above average print and sound condition.

perfect By Kevin on 8/23/2014Kevin would recommend this product to a friendworks like all the other anti phosphate products at what seems like a quarter of the price.
Rinse it first By David on 7/30/2014David would recommend this product to a friendI did my homework when it came to adding chemical media in my reef. I have no complaints with this GFO. My Phosphates levels are always nearly undetectable and no algea, just make sure you rinse well before use.
Performs well - But needs to be rinsed Very Well By Alex on 7/19/2014Alex would recommend this product to a friendWe used the High Capacity GFO first and it worked great. This time we decided that since we had a large reactor and plenty of space, we could use the GFO that wasn't as compacted to be a little cheaper . It worked for its primary purpose - get the phosphate out. It's just that we had to rinse it with several gallons (5-10) of water to get the dust out and it still left orange dust on the bottom of my sump. I think we will go back to the high capacity stuff after we go through this batch.
top notch phosphate removal By swseipel on 7/6/2014swseipel would recommend this product to a friendThis has been a great asset to my water treatment system removing phosphate due to my overfeeding my tank
Low phosphates! By James on 7/1/2014James would recommend this product to a friendCleans the water like it says, put it in a reactor and let it work
Works Great By Christopher Kirkland on 6/25/2014Christopher Kirkland would recommend this product to a friendAs always works very well, and lasts a long time. Keeps the algae at bay and the PO4 down to levels my SPS like.
Lower Phosphate Levels! By Vincent on 5/25/2014Vincent would recommend this product to a friendWas experiencing Phosphate levels of .10 ppm set this up with the BRS dual reactor. After 24 hrs PO4 dropped to .05 ppm and after 48 hrs PO4 dropped to .01 ppm. Thanks BRS!
AWESOME! By Stephane on 5/23/2014Stephane would recommend this product to a friendI had problems with phosphates and every product i used temporary lowered my levels for only a few days, and even then only had them down to 0.04. I decided to order this product along with the BRS reactor and i am not disappointed. I had this stuff in for about 1 week and on the 2nd day, i had 0 and i mean 0 phosphates!
gfo By alfredo on 5/19/2014alfredo wouldn't recommend this product to a friendgreat stuff definitely lowers ur po4sl
Great product just dusty By Christopher on 5/12/2014Christopher would recommend this product to a friendI have used this GFO for a few months now and have had no issues other than the typical dust that comes with all gfo products. I just run 2 gallons of ro water through it and have no complaints!

This farmer had a wife who nagged him all the time. One day while he was outside plowing the field, she came out and started nagging him. While she was doing this, the mule kicked her and she died.
At the funeral, the ladies came up and talked to the farmer. The farmer nodded his head "yes". The men came up and talked to him and the farmer nodded his head "no".
Well this other man wondered why he nodded his head "yes" to the ladies and "no" to the men. Then, he went up to the farmer and asked him why.
The farmer replied, "Well, when the ladies came up, they told me how pretty my wife's dress was and how pretty she looked. When the men came up, they asked, 'That mule for sale?'"

Great Inspirational Video
(81) Gabe, September 28, 2012 1:18 PM
This helped me so much over yom kippur
I couldn't believe it. I did something recently that I thought I would never be able to forgive myself for. Then suddenly 10 minutes before Yom Kippur he sends me this video. I used to think that Yom Kippur was the worst yom gov ever. Now I realize how important and happy I was to go through Yom Kippur with this video I mind. I did something so bad I thought for sure there was no hope for me. But with the help of my bestfreind, this video hhashem and yom Kippur I can honestly say that I'm a changed person. I don't think I will be able to forget what had happened but I'm definitely in the process of picking myself up and moving on for the better.

An embryo's moral significance

* = Required Fields
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (BP) -- Philosophically, we can say that embryos are less developed than newborns (or, for that matter, toddlers) but this difference is not morally significant in the way abortion advocates need it to be.
Scott Klusendorf
Consider the claim that the immediate capacity for self-awareness bestows value on human beings. Notice that this is not an argument, but an arbitrary assertion.
Why is some development needed? And why is this particular degree of development (i.e., higher brain function) decisive rather than another? These are questions that abortion advocates do not adequately address.
There is no morally significant difference between the embryo that you once were and the adult that you are today, as Stephen Schwarz pointed out in the 1990 book "The Moral Question of Abortion." Differences of size, level of development, environment and degree of dependency are not relevant such that we can say that you had no rights as an embryo but you do have rights today.
Think of Schwarz's acronym SLED as a helpful reminder of these non-essential differences:
Embryos are smaller than newborns and adults, but why is that relevant? Do we really want to say that large people are more human than small ones? Men are generally larger than women, but that doesn't mean they deserve more rights. Size doesn't equal value.
Level of development
Embryos and fetuses are less developed than the adults they'll become someday. But again, why is this relevant? Four-year-old girls are less developed than 14-year-old ones. The same holds true for boys. Should older children have more inherent rights than their younger siblings? Those who say that immediate self-awareness is what makes one human could argue that newborns do not qualify as valuable human beings. Six-week-old infants lack the immediate capacity for performing any number of human mental functions, but so do the reversibly comatose, those with Alzheimer's disease and even the sleeping.
Where you are has no bearing on who you are. Does your value change when you cross the street or roll over in bed? How can a journey of eight inches down the birth canal suddenly change the essential nature of the unborn from non-human to human? If one asserts that the unborn are not already human, how does merely changing their location make them into persons of worth?
Degree of Dependency
If independency is what makes us human, what do we make of those who depend on insulin or kidney medication? Would anyone propose that they may be killed? And what about conjoined twins who share blood and bodily systems? Shouldn't they have a right to life?
In short, it's far more reasonable to argue that although humans differ immensely with respect to talents, accomplishments and degrees of development, they are nonetheless equal in value because they share a common human nature.
True, some people will ignore the scientific and philosophic case you present for the pro-life view and argue for abortion based on self-interest. That is the lazy way out. Remind your critics that if we care about truth, we will courageously follow the facts wherever they lead, no matter what the cost to our own self-interests.
Scott Klusendorf is president of Life Training Institute, based in Colorado Springs, Colo., and on the Web at prolifetraining.com. He is the author of "The Case for Life: Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture" and has been featured on such Christian programs as "Focus on the Family" and "The Bible Answer Man."

text: By Tim SkubickFox 2 NewsLANSING, Mich. (WJBK) -- The two political parties have pledged to work together in the New Year at the state capitol despite their severe differences over a variety of issues last year, including right-to-work. Meanwhile, lawmakers were greeted by some union protestors on their first day back on the job.The scene was much different from last month when 500 state troopers greeted 17,000 demonstrators. The numbers were much smaller Wednesday, but the anger over right-to-work is still there."Absolutely, very angry. They're ruining this state. They're anti-union," said Chuck Dimball.Inside the capitol, the 110 House members were sworn in and there was zero drama.There was chatter earlier that the Republicans might try to unseat Harper Woods Democrat Rep. Brain Banks because he had eight felony convictions on his record as a young man, but Banks was seated without any Republican protests.There was also chatter that the Democrats might protest the election of House Republican Speaker Jase Bolger, but when that vote were taken, only two Democrats were no votes. The vast majority of House Democrats voted to support the Republican speaker, not wanting to get off on the wrong foot."You start out at a protest and you end up in a war. That's not what we're after. We're after good government. We're after making sure that we can make some decisions that are going to make sense coming out of this legislature," said Rep. Fred Durhal, Junior.The only decision made Wednesday was where the lawmakers would sit for the next two years as they heard pledges of bipartisanship from both the speaker and new Democratic House Leader Rep. Tim Greimel."This doesn't mean that we're going to get together and sing 'Kumbaya' at every opportunity, but it means that we're going to restore some basic mutual respect in this chamber and look for opportunities to advance the interests of middle class families, which I think is what everybody in the state really wants," Greimel said.The Republican speaker and Mr. Greimel have had extensive talks in an attempt to put the past behind them."The focus needs to be on our citizens, not Republicans and Democrats, not one caucus or the other. The focus needs to be on getting the job done, but yes, we had multiple meetings and several phone calls about how we can work together," said Bolger."Do you trust him," I asked."We're continuing to build that relationship. I don't know him that well, but I think we established quite a bit of trust in the recent days."So the games begin on an upbeat, positive, bipartisan note. One wonders how long it will last.

Very sad, Bridget. Are you going to call your aunt?
DD came out last night before she fell asleep and with a little smile, told me she had a nightmare. I told her she wasn't having a nightmare because she wasn't asleep. She stroked the fleece on my arm for a minute, and said she was just thinking about salami. I half-laughed and said, "Well, I don't think that should scare you off sleeping. Now go back to bed." Later on, emailing back and forth to mom about the earthquakes, she asked me if she'd been possibly thinking about tsunamis. Of course! DUH! I felt like such an oblivimom. She hasn't ever been able to pronounce tsunamis well unless she really tries, and usually calls them salamis. She made the connection on her own about the earthquakes possibly resulting in tsunamis.
At dinner, we were talking about the earthquake (they felt the earlier one at school) and they asked if there could ever be a really big one that could topple buildings. This coincidentally happened on the day they did a fire drill and practiced going outside after hearing an alarm. I told them yes, and DD's face crumpled and she started crying. We live right over the Hayward Fault, which is predicted to have a big quake within the next 30 years (+/- a few hundred years?), although of course those aren't totally accurate. DS jumped right out of his chair and hugged her and told her that wasn't so, which I found totally endearing but inaccurate. I told them that I couldn't promise that bad things would never happen, but we try to be prepared for all possibilities. Like for an earthquake, we have boxes of food in the storage shed and extra water. We have earthquake insurance. We have flashlights and radios that operate on batteries. It might not be as comfortable as our normal life, but we would be able to eat and drink and survive. Dh added, "It could be like camping!" DD wailed, "But what about milk?" I told them about the special powdered milk. She was fine after that, until the tsunami/salami fear that I totally blew off. Oops.
I remember being happy as a child, or at least not unhappy - I just thought it would be good to make a wish to be happy because that would cover anything. It wouldn't matter if I wanted money, because if I wanted to buy something specific to make me happy but it didn't make me happy, then it was pointless to have the money. Better to just wish to be happy. Same with something about my appearance or a new dress or a friend or a pony, you know?
Have fun at your evening out tonight, Chrissy.
DH and I are both really tired, today. Baby DS cried a lot last night. I think he's getting sick.
DD just woke up and I apologized to her for misunderstanding about the tsunami fears. She didn't even care now. She's all full of her dreams about a friendly spider.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We are having an October wedding in Salem, Ma. Our colors are black, gold, and ivory so we were looking for something to match of course. I wanted the main color to be black with gold writing and a lot of other sites didn't have this. The foil stamps really gave these invitations something extra which we loved. The artist was wonderful to work with, we went back and forth via email a couple times and they really make sure you get exactly what you want. I would definitely order from wedding paper divas again!"
"The quality of the paper and printing was superb. If you are looking for a traditional and elegant invitation suite, this is definitely it. We added additional text to the response card with no issue and received our promptly. Can't say enough good things about these!"
"This company is GREAT! They are always available to help with product questions and design issues. After we ordered, the proof came very quickly and the changes we made were adjusted and re submitted for our proofing very quickly too. AND they delivered EARLIER than promised - right to our door via Federal Express. Just about the easiest thing we have done for this wedding so far!"
"This invitation, even though very simple speaks volumes for elegance, the thickness of the paper. The letters are raised and you can feel them as you move your hands across the invitation. Simply put timeless."
"Simple, nautical, and beautiful! Just was I was looking for when shopping for my wedding invitation. Although the color options are limited, the design is just perfect! Customer service is lovely too, which makes the whole purchasing experience enjoyable!"

Product Description
After you've finished a hot day at the range, you still have to clean your gun. It's always nice to crack open a cold one so you grab your bushing wrench and a bottle opener.
Well, now you've got a tool that will do both. The Titanium 1911 auto Bushing Wrench and Bottle Opener Combo. And, it's got the Emerson Bad Intent Skull logo to boot.
These cool beauties come in three anodized colors; Gold, Blue, and Purple. They are completely deburred, dehorned Titanium pieces of art that function just as good as they look.
Just remember, always drink responsibly and always shoot responsibly. Just don't do both at the same time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shell Wonderful Very stable I had never paddle boarded before I got this board but, I got right on it and took off no problems. Simple and fun look. Despite its size it is very lite and easy to carry. I was lenient buying the most expensive board having not done it before but the second I stepped on it in the water I had no regrets and it was totally worth it. September 6, 2013

Hey all Louisianians. I just wanted to start a post where everyone could check in during the storm. That is, if you even have power.
Alex, I know you're pretty far north, so are y'all just expecting some rain? I bet traffic is pretty hectic there with everyone moving out of NO.
Cara, I haven't really heard about BR during all of this, so if you can, check in and let us know how you're fairing.
Anyone further South, please take care and be safe. I'll be praying and thinking of everyone in NO. I hope we all come out of this better than expected.
As for me. We have a midnight curfew and the wind has started to pick up, but not too bad. We're expected to have 75mph wind and lots of rain. Traffic is jam packed on the highway from everyone moving further north.
Ladies in Louisiana, please check in and let everyone know how you're doing. I'll be praying for you.

The European Commission has unveiled an ambitious plan to boost Europe's innovative potential with the aim of turning ideas into jobs and green growth. The strategic approach streamlines efforts on key challenges, such as climate change, energy and food security, health and an ageing population. In addition, it seeks to improve co-operation between the public and private sectors, while removing bottlenecks which prevent ideas from getting to market.

It's not the same med they use in epidural anesthesia. It's a steroid, not an anesthetic. So, we're cool.
Whoa! My mother just had this exact procedure done a few months ago...after July. Thanks for the heads up!
Jeanne, mom to Dev0n (6) Isabe11e (5) and C0rbin (3.5) Vio1et (almost 2)
Wow.. Scary stuff . Thanks for posting.
I live in MN and had one. I was really scared when I heard some clinincs here had used some of the bad vials. I immediately called my doctors office and asked them if I had anything to worry about. The nurse said they (as in my clinic), don't use the compounded steroid, which is the one causing the outbreak. I was very much relieved!!
From the article:
"The Food and Drug Administration released a list of 34 different drugs this morning that included steroids, epidural anesthetics used to block pain during childbirth, and surgery and saline solutions that are compounded to make different medications."
Yep it's been extended to include 3 strengths of bupivicaine, so that does rule in some epidurals and spinal anesthesia. But only from that one company.
Ew. That's bad. Thanks for the update!
From CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/HAI/outbreaks/meningitis.html
Towards the end of the page, I saw this:
"Epidural injections are generally very safe procedures, and complications are rare. Fungal meningitis is an extremely rare cause of meningitis overall, including after epidural injections. The type of epidural medication given to patients affected by this outbreak is not the same type of medication as that given to women during childbirth."
Now I'm confused. I read in an article that the recall includes some epidural medication given at childbirth - and the above is contradicting - or maybe I'm missing/misunderstanding something.
If you can give your child only one gift, let it be enthusiasm - Bruce Barton
The guidance you posted relates only to the steroid injection. That was the original recall. The list I read included other drugs recalled by that company. Some were not steroids. I don't know if the company is just being extra cautious and that's why it's not included in the CDC article. I guess it's a watch and wait. That said, this stuff will already have been replaced in hospitals. Other companies make the same drugs and hospitals would just switch supplier

Olive oil on the other hand, runs like water in our house...

TalkBack for Feb. 2: Bridge sponsor, License, Long enough
Bridge sponsor
As a new resident, I find it quite amusing to read the almost daily comments on the bridge. While each side has a valid perspective – the design and construction seems decidedly out-of-place with the charm of the downtown area; and "get over it – it's just a bridge" – no one has yet advanced a workable solution. How about selling naming rights to the bridge? This has proved successful on countless stadiums and arenas (the Super Bowl is in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome this Sunday), and could work here. By covering the cost of a mainly cosmetic makeover, a local (or national) business (or a civic-minded citizen) could secure permanent naming rights for the bridge, plus a nice historical plaque, fantastic publicity and the undying gratitude of the community. The winning bid would establish the budget, and the winning bidder could be active or passive in the determining what the new bridge will look like, subject, of course, to review and approval by appropriate City officials and probably a citizen committee.
