Skip to comments.TriHealth fires 150 employees for not getting flu shots: Co. offered shots for free (Cincinnati)
Posted on 11/24/2012 1:04:13 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
CINCINNATI One of Cincinnatis largest employers fired approximately 150 employees Wednesday for failing to get a required flu shot.
TriHealth offered all of its 10,800 employees free flu shots. Employees had a month to get the flu shot. The deadline was Nov. 16. Employees who did not get the shot were terminated Wednesday, a company spokesperson said...

Funny how that works...
Healthcare workers are well aware of the special requirements their field has. They know its a requirement.
Same here...vitamin d3, no flu. Ever. This is ALL about money and control.
Rogue virus in the vaccine / Early polio vaccine harbored virus now feared to cause cancer in humans
Monkeys, viruses, and vaccines
These are only 2 of many articles about the link.
If you KNOW it is a requirement going in, as with the military; fine. But springing it on people after they have been employed five, ten, twenty-five years; then only allowing them a short time to find other employment in this economic climate is unforgivable.
One of Cincinnatis largest employers fired approximately 150 employees Wednesday for failing to get a required flu shot.
150 idiots. The military requires every person to get them or get kicked out. What makes these jerks so special. I am so glad that they fired them. This is GREAT news!!!!!
I felt the same way when I wanted my female employees to have sex with me, as a condition of their employment.
I take 10k ius of Vit. D per day but I stopped getting the flu and colds long before I started that. I have herbs that I can kill either one of those infections with immediately.
150 people who are more scared of needles than losing their job. In 1918, Influenza killed 1% of the world's population. I want all the advantages I can get.
In 1918, 27% of the world's population contracted the Spanish Flu. 3% of the world's population, or 50 million people, died from it. Life ground to a halt. The economy stalled to a virtual standstill. Healthcare providers were among the hardest hit, as well as among the disease's most prolific vectors. That was the result of pandemic when rail and ship were the fastest forms of transportation.
Now, extrapolate that forward to 2012, with ubiquitous air travel connecting all parts of the globe, and a much larger population, concentrated in much larger cities. A new pandemic would spread faster, and could potentially kill hundreds of millions, or even billions of people.
Unlike in 1918, such a pandemic might not just emerge from random mutation, but might be intentionally created as a terrorist weapon. Given the potentially devastating consequences, it is not unreasonable to make a flu vaccine a requirement for healthcare professionals, just like it is not unreasonable to make it a requirement of military service.
Did they sign the agreement?
I use eucalyptus oil, as well...I can't remember the last time I had so much as a cold, and I live in New 'Red as they come' England.
In Colorado it's now state law. All healthcare workers will get the flu vac or have their privileges suspended during flu season the only exemption is a documented allergic reaction. While I'm first in line to get the flu vacc every year (had Hong Kong flu as teenager never want to be that sick again) the libertarian side of me made me want to challenge the system. Unfortunately I need to put the kids thru college..... But one more reason I'm out of the doctoring business as soon as the youngest graduates. 2 1/2 yrs but who is counting?
I've seen those movies, too...
BTW - has anyone noticed the article does not mention anything about those fired being healthcare providers. They are mentioned as "employees",,could be janitors and secretaries,,who knows? Also NOT MENTIONED is any link to any piece of literature showing that healthcare workers who do NOT get a vaccine somehow cause a significant health issue or have caused a significant issue to patients. ...where is that proof? Unbelievable what some people will accept to have a job. Guess if I'm the employer, I own your aZZ, LITERALLY and physically. It's NOT right.
Just for grins; I have checked under 'career opportunities' at the websites of hospitals around the country...not ONE mentions that a flu shot is a condition of employment. Shouldn't potential employees be made aware of that before the application process begins?
I hadn't had a flu shot in years but have changed careers which leaves me more exposed. I got one this year.
I've never been sick when I've gotten them but I've also not had the flu in decades. *knock wood*
Given that Baxter, a flu vaccine manufacturer, was caught 'accidentally' putting the live bird flu virus IN the vaccines for bird flu it would seem your logic might be a bit off? Plus, most manufacturers are now moving vaccine lines to China and India. China would never adulterate any of the consumer goods it sells. Never.
I had flu shots every year in the military. Got the flu the week after every year as well.
Never again.
Exactly. In addition to influenza shots, it is also advisable if not required by many hospitals and clinics that healthcare workers get vaccinated for Hepatitis, Measles, Mumps, and Rubella, Varicella, TB, Pertussis, Typhoid Fever, and Vaccinia. This is not only for the protection of patients but for the protection of the healthcare workers themselves and to maintain a healthy healthcare workforce in the event of an outbreak of any of those diseases. And imagine what would happen if you go to the hospital for life saving surgery and half of the staff is out sick with the flu or something even worse. Imagine a sick healthcare worker spreading the flu or Hep or Measles, Mumps, Rubella, imagine a unimmunized nurse or nurses aid sick with Rubella working in a high risk maternity ward, someone with Pertussis working in the childrens ward or someone with TB working in the cafeteria.
Again, the article says "employees",,it doesn't say healthcare workers.
Advisable is not the same as required.
There isn't any. IT personnel, paper pushers, etc...even in 'off-site' locations are forced to SUBMIT (if they want to keep working...if you are one of the paycheck to paycheck crowd, too bad). In Red Hampshire; if you work for Pepsi (or Coke), and have to service a machine at a RH hospital; you MUST have a flu shot. They are considered 'contractors', and must be immunized.
Why compromise your immune system with these shots? Time to fight back.
Never had a shot, hope never to get one either.
The CDC has a list of recommendations, what immunizations for healthcare workers are strongly advised, but the actual requirements for healthcare workers are regulated by each States departments of health. Here is New Yorks for instance:
Here is Rhode Islands:
Here is Texas:
Of course hospitals and clinics can, as a condition of employment, require immunizations over and above what is required in the state in which they are operating.
I remember a time when food service/food handlers had to be tested for TB and Typhoid. I think that was a good idea, something that should be required.
Hundreds of pets in our country learned that hard lesson a few years back...
I'm with the others who refuse to get a flu shot. My mother and aunt used to get them every year and of course, they got the flu. I've never had one and have never had the flu.
I note that most of the comments defending the shots are coming from the 'elite' community...'Hahvahd', university professors and such...
So, healthcare have to sacrifice their health to political correctness.
If employees don't like the terms of the contract they are free to vote with their feet and find another job.
Brought it to it's knees... LOL
I think the real cliff hit upon your retirement. Hasn't been the same since.
BTW - Good to see you are still kicking... Haven't heard from you in a while.
I am a part time/PRN employee of a gym that is run by our local hospital. Part of the contract I signed stipulated flu shots (among others) as a condition of hire.
If a flu shot is not within my liking, I am/was free to leave.
No sympathy.
The ones who wanted to keep their jobs did. Most of them had families they were supporting, so it wasn't a difficult decision for them.
I'm saying they took a job knowing the requirements and now they are refusing to meet those requirements.
Employers have rights too.
Let's try this one more time for the reading impaired...there are people in this country who have been given little choice in the matter...working for many years; when out of the blue; they are given 30-60 day warnings that they MUST now submit to a flu shot or be terminated. How would YOU like to be put into a position where you must leave your employer to seek out another job with short notice in THIS economy? Sorry...it's an outrage. If they had been told when the offer of employment was made, fine. That was NOT the case in these 'mandated' flu shot scenarios.
In this case its the same thing but you can argue semantics if you so choose.
You must have a great company. A true leader!
The totalitarian Fascists where I work insisted on the vaccine too. It is everywhere in healthcare.
That is NOT true.
What isn't true? That they knew it was a requirement or that they are refusing?
I work with a lot of hospitals, they know its a requirement.
They had 30 days to get a free shot. Employers have rules and have to enforce them.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
People who work in healthcare have to get a host of shots among other things.
Tough skittles if you don't want to comply.
Potential employees should be told UP FRONT that they will be forced to submit to vaccination as a condition of employment...that was NOT the case in many of these 'forced terminations' that are now popping up around the country.
I think that many if not most hospitals are following suit. Hospital workers are exposed to all kinds of germs and can expose others as well. The hospital that I work in has made flu shots mandatory starting this year. I've received a flu shot for the past 4-5 years with no side effects or flu.
Change careers if you don't like it.
When many of these people were hired years and years ago; they were NOT told that they would have to submit to forced vaccinations...never. Now, after years of employment; they are told to hit the road if they refuse a potentially dangerous flu shot? One month in this economy is NOT adequate warning. Now that the word is out, many people ARE moving on to other professions.
Good for them.
Real easy in this economy...this has nothing to do with me, by the way. I wouldn't go NEAR a hospital...especially nowadays.
Policy changes happen all the time.
The right thing is to eat a healthy diet, exercise, and not compromise your immune system, and NOT introduce toxins such as flu shots into your body....JMO....
Where I work we are offered the shots but are able to opt out, which a lot of us do.

Jonah Lehrer's recent firing from the New Yorker prompted The Wrap's Sharon Waxman to author a wrongheaded apologia for the disgraced scribe. Waxman notes that, ultimately, Lehrer engaged in unethical conduct, but places the onus of his misdeeds on those who purchased his shoddy work.The 31-year-old Lehrer, you see, manufactured quotes from whole cloth, freely lifted whole paragraphs from previous self-authored pieces and lied about both when confronted by reporters. Lehrer was fired and his promising career in journalism, for the time being at least, lies in shambles. (All three of his bestselling books are now under review by publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.)
By any standard, Lehrer's actions must be deemed unethical, and should serve as a lesson for those who would attempt to circumvent acceptable business practices in all areas, particularly in journalism, which makes specific claims for conveying objective truths. Failure to adhere to these basic standards is a moral shortcoming, deserving of dismissal.
Waxman, however, writes that Lehrer's ethical lapses should apply equally to greedy publishers who apply too much pressure on unseasoned writers. She acknowledges Lehrer's credentials – Rhodes Scholar, neuroscientist, bestselling author of Imagine: How Creativity Works – and determines he "was doing too much, too fast, at too high an RPM."
The poor, dear child, in Waxman's universe, is a Dickensian tragedy, forced to pick his own literary pockets in order to survive in an unforgiving adult world: "He found himself lifting from one column to fill another. He cut and pasted passages from his book to pad his New Yorker work." She asserts: "There is precious little protection out there for young writers in the atomized digital age," bemoans Waxman. "Few places to learn the basic craft of fact-based reporting, checking sources, double-checking footnotes." Oh, the iniquity! (more…)

Management team chosen for NLA-C
The Northern Lights Arena – Community has wrapped up its search for a new arena manager, maintenance supervisor and events manager.
On Friday it was announced that Meaghan Richey was hired to oversee day-to-day operations at the Northern Lights Arena. Her supporting staff will include former arena manager Jeremy Winterstein, who will be maintenance supervisor, and Lisa Schultz, who was hired to be events manager.
Richey moved to Alpena from Traverse City in April and has a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. She said she has worked for non-profit groups in the past and believes it is a way of giving back to the community. Richey said she has a passion for sports and wants to use her expertise to solidify the management at the arena and utilize the arena to its fullest.
"The focus really needs to be on making the arena multi-purpose," Richey said. "We will have ice events, but we really need to have a large focus on non-ice events. We want to make this facility a destination for people, and by doing so it will not only help the area, but also the businesses and the public. It would be a win-win for everyone."
Richey said there are already events scheduled for when the arena opens. Currently there is work being done by Ameresco that will provide extensive energy efficiency upgrades. She said everyone is ready to hit the ground running, and ice should be in place around Sept. 1. Richey said she is still getting adjusted to Alpena and expects it may take some time to settle into her new job. She said having Winterstein and Schultz's experience will help her.
"I'll have a little learning curve, but I know I'll be able to count on Jeremy and Lisa for help," Richey said. "This needs to be a collaborative effort moving forward and everyone needs to work together. That includes all of the volunteers and the board. There is a lot of potential for growth and we need to have a strong team to have growth. I think we have that."
Alpena Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jackie Krawczak was the chair on the committee formed to handle the interview and hiring process for the NLA-C. She said she is pleased with the amount of interest there was for the job postings and believes the right people for the jobs were found.
"They will make up a phenomenal team," Krawczak said. "Her leadership and management skills teamed with the experience and work ethic of the other two made us think this would be an amazing staff. We were happy with the response we had received and there were a lot of strong candidates. We're very happy at the quality of the people we were able to find."
Richey said the arena has a new website that is up and running. She said it only contains about 80 percent of what it will feature, but wants to encourage people to visit it for information about the arena and upcoming events. The address is northernlightsarena.com.

I feel better using this as a thickening agent for the protein, a little extra fiber than most flours and also the flavor. It blends a bit nicer.

Assignment: Education - Paperless Classroom
Technology offers up-to-date lessons and textbooks
DE SOTO, Wis. -- "We've been pretty much paperless for the last four years," said Ron Von Glahn, De Soto Middle and High School agriculture teacher.
The reason according to Von Glahn, in part, has to do with this beast.
"When you run the copy machine, the copies are expensive," said Von Glahn. "The textbooks are expensive. The less we have to run that copy machine, the better off the district is going to be."
And those textbooks Mr. Von Glahn mentioned come with a large price tag.
"Agriculture textbooks are so expensive and you can only buy so many a year," said Von Glahn. "If I have a class of 20 kids and they're $100 a piece that's quite expensive."
And agriculture has a wide range of subject matter which changes rapidly. These facts make it hard for textbooks and school budgets to keep up.
"When they're printed they're out of date," said Von Glahn. "The way things move in this world today, you can't put it in a book anymore. It's too slow."9737490
So, Von Glahn turned to a company called My Caert which provides the updated online textbooks needed to teach his class.
"In my classroom, everybody has a computer," said Von Glahn. "We do most of the assignments here."
Von Glahn has 700 lessons online. The students do all of their readings through the online textbook and also take quizzes and tests online.
"At first, I was kind of sketched out about it," said McKenzie Kumlin, De Soto High School senior. "But then once we started it, it was a lot easier than doing paper work."
And it gives students an opportunity to experience a new learning resource.
"Usually, the other classes are just paper, paper, paper books," said Dylan Johnson, De Soto Middle School 7th grader. "Nothing ever really online unless you've got to look up a term for a word or something."
And in this day and age, Mr. Von Glahn says it's important for students to know how these online programs work.
"Kids that leave here are going to go onto some type of higher learning, and more than likely they will do their assignments online," said Von Glahn.
And in the not so far future, Mr. Von Glahn predicts more and more middle and high school classes will look just like his.
"Paperless is what we're going to be looking at 10-15 years from now," said Von Glahn. "Textbooks are going to be phased out."

Driving Miss Daisy -- in a tractorPosted Tuesday, April 10, 2012, at 4:20 PM
I probably never would have driven a tractor, had it not been for my husband's comment.
"I guess, since you're a girl, you couldn't do that, could you?" he said, with a mile-wide grin.
Now, deep down, I knew it was a challenge, one he had long learned I couldn't resist. Even with my wise neighbor's advice echoing in my head, "Never learn to do a job on the farm, unless you want to do it for life," I fell prey to his bait.
Soon driving "just through the gate" turned to raking hay, turned to "disking just a little" and eventually becoming long days of field cultivating, grain-cart driving and trucking.
I realized the upside to my new job pretty quickly. One of the great perks was being able to stay home with my two growing boys. On the days we were working, with the invention of cabbed tractors I could easily strap in a car seat next to me and spend the day with boy A or boy B.
My youngest was just 6 weeks old when he was strapped in for a week of wheat harvest, as I drove a grain cart hauling wheat from the combine to a waiting truck.
By trial and error we learned the art of working with children involved packing enough to eat and drink.
It became routine for one of us to take one boy, while the other parent took the other (which is probably why we never considered a third!). Unfortunately, I've forgotten much more than I remember, but I treasure the days spent together.
Through the years, I learned a lot of their thoughts and intricate details of their lives while riding on a tractor. It was a place where we discussed subjects ranging from Monica Lewinsky to the fine art of baling hay. It's where we discussed farming, baby kittens, basketball, what they wanted to be when they grew up and eventually -- why I was driving all wrong.
It was at that point in their lives when they stopped being adorable passengers.
It started out innocently enough.
One day, my job was to drill grass seed into a back field. The reason I was given such a precision job, one I had never done before, and ironically would never do again, was because this was a way, way far back field.
It could never be seen from the road or by any other human being. The only ones who would see my crooked, winding rows would be myself, my 5-year-old passenger, my husband and a few thousand deer and turkeys.
The steep terraces and tight turns were a little different than I normally encountered, and I admit, I had a few problems. But the seed didn't run out before I finished the field, so I considered a job well done -- until later.
As they often did, as soon as he got home, my youngest headed to his room to pull out a smaller scale version of my tractor and drill. It was cute -- until he starting talking.
"Look Dad, I'm turning into the hitch and scratching the paint, just like Mommy did all day with her drill," he exclaimed proudly.
Needless to say, Daddy wasn't near as excited about it as my 5-year-old ...
Did I mention I've never been asked to drill anything again?

About the Author: Benjamin Sand serves as the Vice Consul at U.S. Embassy Beijing.
The U.S. Embassy in Beijing went slightly off the beaten path this week to help launch DS-160, the State Department's new on-line visa application form, which will help save around three million pieces of paper in China this year. Following brief introductory comments from embassy staff, actors from one of China's top Peking opera companies performed a promotional skit for several dozen Chinese reporters. Musicians playing traditional Chinese gongs, cymbals, drums and lutes accompanied a song and dance routine touting the new visa form's speed, clarity and environmental friendliness.
The opera featured the traditional Chinese figure the Monkey King, who was renowned for speed, efficiency, wisdom and the ability to travel great distances with ease in the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West . Moving forward, the U.S. Embassy will use photos of the Monkey King with the Consul General showing him how to fill out the on-line form to help promote the DS-160 in China.
The new form is being rolled out amid a global surge in non-immigrant visa applications to visit the United States, including a half million applicants from mainland China. In a video statement screened at our February 3 media event, U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman said the record number of applicants included almost a hundred thousand students heading to U.S. universities and research centers.
"Compare that to 30 years ago," the Ambassador said, "In 1979, the embassy issued just 4,700 non-immigrant visas, of which 770 were students. So in just three decades, the number of Chinese visitors to the United States has increased more than 100 times."
As of March 1, the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China will only be accepting the new online form, which provides special "pop-up" Chinese translations of questions.
Ambassador Huntsman said, "The most important message is this: The new form should be easier for you and faster for us. That means this year, the Year of the Tiger, we hope to see more applicants, issue more visas, and welcome more Chinese visitors to the United States."

By Jeremy Cox - Daily Times Staff Writer
SALISBURY — (Jan. 17, 2013) — The Eastern Shore could be home to Maryland's fourth medical school, if the region's health and education leaders have their way.
Peninsula Regional Medical Center has inked a partnership with three universities to study the idea of opening a four-year medical school at or near the hospital, which is home to the Shore's largest health system and only trauma center.
The agreement, signed by the four parties in October, envisions the creation of a satellite campus of the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Existing health education and research programs at Salisbury University and University of Maryland Eastern Shore would be integrated into the new school, it states.
Because of the need to find a location and raise money, construction isn't likely to begin for at least three to five years, officials say.
In the meantime, PRMC is in talks with UMB about a residency program for recent medical school graduates at the hospital. It could be running as early as this fall with two or three residents specializing in family practice or internal medicine, said Peggy Naleppa, PRMC's president and CEO.
"We have a significant shortage of physicians in all specialties on the Delmarva Peninsula," Naleppa said. "We know with health care reform and thousands of more people soon joining the insured ranks locally that the demand for not only primary care physicians but also doctors in all specialties will increase dramatically."
The Eastern Shore is experiencing shortages in 18 of 30 physician categories, according to a 2008 study funded by the Maryland Hospital Association and the Maryland State Medical Society.
Studies show that more than half of all physicians will set up their practices within 50-60 miles of where they attended medical school or performed their residencies, Naleppa said.
The region also stands to gain economically, she added.
"Doctors opening practices on Delmarva will employ staff here, purchase supplies locally and, in turn, contribute to the economies where they work or live," she said.
Dr. Bruce Jarrell, senior vice president of academic affairs at UMB, sounded more tentative about the partnership.
"There's not a lot to show at this point," he said Wednesday. "There's a lot of requirements for accreditation and those things take time."
He cast doubt on the possibility of residents beginning their training in the fall at PRMC. The program would need to be in place by June or July, which seems highly unlikely, he said. Administrators would be "mightily lucky" to be operating it by fall 2014, he added.
If the medical school moves forward, it won't be anytime soon, Jarrell said.
"I think you're too many steps ahead. We envision moving ahead on residency planning," he said.
A consulting firm hired by the coalition recommended that its members create an Eastern Shore medical school and residency program, they said. But they declined to share the report with The Daily Times.
Established medical schools have created satellite campuses to give students opportunities to train in different social and economic settings. The University of Florida College of Medicine is based in the college town of Gainesville but operates a second campus 70 miles away in Jacksonville's inner city.
It makes sense for SU to be involved because of its well-regarded nursing program and the presence of other disciplines, such as social work, that support a hospital, said university President Janet Dudley-Eshbach.
For its part, UMES looks to bring its physical therapy, physician's assistant and pharmacy programs into the new school's fold, said President Juliette B. Bell.
"A satellite campus in our midst, where future doctors can get training, would have a wide-ranging impact on our campus and the economic development of the Lower Shore. More doctors are needed in rural areas and we are ready to provide the undergraduate training to prepare them for those advanced studies," she said.
The three existing medical schools in Maryland are at UMB, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda.
PRMC and the three universities have agreed to conduct an "intensive study" of the proposals through April 30.

Studietrust receives the FW de Klerk Goodwill Award 2013 (scroll down for Afrikaans) by Murray Hofmeyr
We at Studietrust are grateful to the Board of the FW de Klerk Foundation for honouring us with the 2013 FW de Klerk Goodwill Award.
We recognise the pivotal role of former President De Klerk in bringing about a South Africa in which goodwill has become possible. His courage to unban the ANC and other parties, and releasing from prison his eventual successor Mr Nelson Mandela and other leaders, set the stage for negotiations about the future of our country and rescued us from escalating violence and economic ruin. It was he who gave white South Africans the opportunity to vote in the 1992 Referendum. The fact that the yes vote carried the day opened the way for the New South Africa. Whites said yes for a constitutional democracy, the separation of powers and an independent judiciary. After his retirement from active politics Mr De Klerk through his Foundation continued to advocate these principles without which goodwill will be an empty concept.

You are worthy… by Murray Hofmeyr
Once a week the Studietrust office team assembles for reflection and prayer. At these meetings we always ask "what are our students and learners doing now?" and then we entrust them to God. This past Thursday morning we reflected on the present global financial crisis in the light of the Christian Scriptures and more specifically the words of the prophet Zephaniah. We agreed that the age old wisdom that deeds have consequences are still valid today. Jan related how the CEOs of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler each in his own private jet, flew from Detroit to Washington to ask the government for a bail-out to save their companies (and the entire US car industry) from ruin. They are laying off thousands of workers, but these top executives were still pocketing a salary of $3 million per month each. (I have subsequently learned that they have accepted a pay cut to $1 p.a. and that some of the companies are selling their private jets!).
It should be clear that the dominant economic system, fuelled by greed, does not have the internal braking mechanisms to keep it from crashing. The result of the present crisis is that millions of workers are losing their jobs while the middle classes are in a credit crunch that causes 7000 vehicles on average per week to be repossessed in South Africa. And the message is clear: We ain't seen nothing yet.

Friendship by Murray Hofmeyr
The Hofmeyr Hall in Stellenbosch, where we hold our annual Western Cape function, stands as a monument for a man and his work. Prof NJ Hofmeyr, founder of the Christian Youth Society in 1874, is remembered as "a friend of the youth." My thoughts on Studietrust as a monument were kindled by the Flemish philosopher Rudi Visker who recently introduced his new book at Café Riche on Church Square in Pretoria. Visker, whose book is entitled Ode to Visibility, argues that there is a dearth of visible symbols in the public space in South Africa in which people from different backgrounds and experiences can recognise each other. That means recognising yourself and the other in the same symbol or monument. According to Visker the health of public space can be measured by the extent to which the common interests of the different members of a society are recognisably expressed in common public symbols like monuments. He specifically said he does not only refer to monuments of stone and steel, but of organisations and institutions, too. That got me thinking: Studietrust as monument?

Hope must be learned… by Murray Hofmeyr
Studietrust is an organisation with Hope inscribed in its motto: Today for Tomorrow. We had occasions enough over the past few months to reconsider the issue of hope. I was reminded of a lecture that my friend and philosophical mentor, Heinz Kimmerle, prepared for a conference we held in Cote d'Ivoire a few years ago. The question we considered was whether there was hope for Africa. Kimmerle reminded us of the great philosopher of hope, Ernst Bloch, who said that hope could and should be learned. Otherwise it will amount to wishful thinking and not be grounded expectation. Bloch distinguishes between three dimensions of learned hope.
In everyday consciousness hope originates in the power to say No. Every day we must determine whether we are satisfied with the way things are. If not, we have to decide how we want to change things.

For decades, the model for golf course aesthetics has been Augusta National Golf Club. The annual telecast of the Masters has shown a seemingly impossible range of shades of green on the grounds, from the pines to the greens to the fairways.
But what the television doesn't show is how much it costs to create this Eden. As course owners and greens committees around the country have tried to emulate what they thought was the ideal golf experience, course superintendents wound up spending more and more on water, fertilizer and labor to attain a certain color for their courses, as if they were painting a room.
Until recently, that cost was acceptable in the era of bigger clubhouses and other extras like contiguous cart paths from the 1st tee to the 18th green. Especially since golfers were willing to pay for it.
But in the current economic climate, the maintenance of lush, pristinely manicured 7,500-yard layouts has become less sustainable. In addition, increasingly restrictive water regulations in much of the country and the growing awareness of golf's environmental impact have made Augusta's model even further out of reach.
All these layers atop the basic golf experience have helped raise green fees, initiation fees and dues. Now, as golfers are unwilling to open their wallets as much, facilities are bound to start unpeeling those layers, so courses will look less green, less meticulous around the edges and a lot less soft.
"If there hadn't been an economic downturn, we would not have seen an end to the chase for longer courses," says Todd Eckenrode, one of the younger architects already in the business of retrofitting existing layouts to use fewer resources. "But now people are looking at golf courses differently and realize there is nothing wrong with 6,500 yards if it means 10 percent savings to build, a lot less to maintain and faster to play."
While a direct correlation exists between the length of a course and maintenance cost, other design elements, largely developed over the past couple of decades, have added to the bill.
Two examples are multiple tee boxes and cart paths. It takes a lot of time to hand-mow six tee boxes every day. And in addition to the significant cost of installing paths, modern architects have had to go to extreme lengths to hide them, routing them well away from the fairway and constructing mounds to keep them out of view. That's a lot of extra turf that has to be maintained.
Some golfers are already familiar with this type of fast-and-firm natural golf, which is the norm at overseas destinations like Scotland and Australia, and at a handful of American courses, like the courses at the Bandon Dunes Resort in Oregon. But the vast majority of golfers, who have come to equate conditioning and visual stimulation with the quality of the golf experience, likely will find it difficult to accept this shift.
But there is little to fear. There is plenty for golfers to embrace at the golf course of the future, especially if you consider the differences.
In the old model, you would hit a drive and get in your cart, which you have to keep on the path because the call for green turf is keeping it off the fairways. Then, upon reaching the approximate area of your shot, you would have to estimate the distance, grab three or four clubs and walk to the ball. Once arriving at it, you see that the ball is actually behind the mark created by your drive on the lush fairway. You lash at a hybrid, and the shot lands short and right of the green, into the rough. You then spend several minutes looking for it in the thick, over-maintained grass before chopping it out.
In the new model, your drive would bounce along the firm, minimally watered fairway, upon which you could drive your cart. The extra roll would leave an approach with a 6-iron instead of a hybrid. You then land your shot short. But instead of being swallowed by the rough, the ball bounces on the turf then rolls along the subtle slopes around and on the green, feeding toward the hole—just as the architect intended.
Which type of golf would you prefer to play?
The game thrived for 400 years on seemingly inferior attributes: firm, brown, natural. Ultimately, no matter how much we love to look at a rich color palette, our senses are dulled by man-made concoctions. We love golf because it's us versus nature—and the leaner the turf and more rugged the hazards, the more satisfying it is to overcome the obstacles they present.
Already, many developers are embracing the less-is-more meme. Jim Taylor and Chip Hanly originally set out to develop Clear Creek Tahoe as a private golf community with 384 lots around the Bill Coore-Ben Crenshaw layout. But when Clear Creek opened last year, Taylor and Hanly mothballed the real estate component, primarily to keep costs down.
"Recently established high-end clubs are going to be under a lot of pressure to make ends meet," says Taylor. "If they are stuck with an expensive-to-maintain player-architect course and a big clubhouse and a big staff, it will be challenging for sure."
Clear Creek can keep down maintenance costs, which normally make up more than half of a golf facility's budget, because it features just 55 acres of turf (the average 7,000-yard layout requires 150 acres, much of it maintained), including a practice area, and uses recycled water.
Yet the lack of turf has had no impact on the Pine-Valley-meets-Castle-Pines aesthetics or the capability to hit heroic shots—two main factors that make Clear Creek so memorably fun.
While the Clear Creek layout was designed from the beginning to require fewer resources, other courses have had to make changes due to the economic downturn. At Cuscowilla, a resort and real estate community located on Georgia's Lake Oconee, superintendent Rusty Mercer cut more than 15 percent of the $1 million maintenance budget.
The effect was a course that was scruffier, especially in the rough and transition areas. Because Cuscowilla is in a highly competitive area with plenty of golf options, Mercer worried that members would balk at the less meticulous conditioning.
"We didn't receive one complaint that suggested anyone was bothered by the change in practices," says Mercer. "A few noticed the rougher roughs or some of our converted native areas, but they pulled me aside to say that it had made them a better golfer and made them more appreciative of what we have as a golf course."
In addition, Mercer, who only raked the bunkers several times a week to save money, also has noticed a long-term trend in the acceptance of more-rugged hazards since Cuscowilla's 1997 opening. He believes this bodes well as course operators look to reduce the extravagant amounts devoted to fertilizers and other additives, not to mention the labor needed for daily primping of the rough and sand.
Ironically, the course of the future resembles the classics of the past, which are less expensive to maintain. In 1922 A.W. Tillinghast built two courses on 280 acres for Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York. By contrast, the 18-hole Concession Golf Club in Sarasota, Florida, which opened in 2006, sits on a 520-acre site.
Ask any golfer which round would be more memorable, and the answer will be nearly unanimous. The reasons for choosing Winged Foot have little to do with how many sets of tees it has, how green the fairways are or whether the bunkers were hand-raked that morning.
Rather, Winged Foot's appeal is the design of the holes, which ask players to make risk-reward decisions and execute satisfying shots that are at the heart of the game. Sitting in the grill room after a round on the West course, players can reflect on whether they should have gone for the green on the short par-4 6th or how the tee shot on the par-3 10th was just a little too aggressive.
These core design principles will not go away in the course of the future. Architect Bruce Hepner of Renaissance Golf Design, a firm with a philosophy rooted in the past, spends a lot of time consulting at smaller-footprint courses, simplifying maintenance demands while accentuating the most satisfying design features. In short, he eliminates the "silly things that have everything to do with cost and nothing to do with what makes golf fun."
Hepner envisions a future with more courses like Renaissance's recent transformation of an old course for the Colorado Golf Association. Renamed CommonGround, the $4 million layout outside Denver has $40 green fees and has proven to be wildly popular, thanks to a combination of affordability and classic design elements inspired by Renaissance's love for ultra-simple Chicago Golf Club.
While the recent trend in the industry has been to build courses in increasingly far-flung locales, the success of CommonGround hopefully will start another movement: sprucing up existing courses near metropolitan areas to produce no-frills, low-cost layouts that are fun, in order to both attract new golfers and—more importantly—keep them in the game.
For a small investment, these easily accessible facilities can offer large rewards for a game in need of sustainable solutions.
"We need to remember the kind of golf we all played as kids," says Hepner, "and how we learned the game through things like caddying or playing public courses. Just because it is not perfectly maintained doesn't mean you can't make good golf out of it. That's a mentality that has to change—and will."
A Simpler Game
As the current model of wall-to-wall green becomes less sustainable in this economic climate, golf courses face a future of fewer frills and rougher edges and that is great news for golfers

Freedom Farm Ministries began in 2006 from a God-given vision of providing men a way out of the bondage of alcohol and drug addiction through the Person and Power of Jesus Christ. The beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina are home to Freedom Farm Ministries.
Currently, there is one refuge location, Safe House, and four transitional living units, Discipleship Living Centers. Restoration House, the Christ-centered recovery phase of Freedom Farm Ministries, expanded to two facilities in 2010. Just like the early church, Freedom Farm Ministries is a community where openness and honesty are valued, sharing is practiced, and study of Scripture forms the basis for decisions – individually and collectively.

Understanding the Data in the State & Congressional Tables
The data used to create these estimates are based on the most recent available IRS and Congressional District information. Two factors are important for the reader to keep in mind:
1. 2010 Congressional District Lines. The Congressional District data are drawn from the districts as they existed in 2010. While the general shape of the new district lines is known, not enough detail down to the zip code level is available for CDA to produce tax estimates based on new district lines.

Cards, Cards, and a layout!
May 9, 2013 by Ellen
Filed under Basic Grey, Core Blog, Queen & Co., SRM Stickers, Tim Holtz
Creating with the Tim Holtz Kraft Core Shattered line is SO MUCH fun! This card was just perfect for using this line. Did you know that all the Kraft Core lines Core'dinate? Design Team Member Debbie Standard embossed the Core shattered and lightly sanded it so that it would show both the Shattered as well as the embossed image.
Supply List:

Debbie made this card using some of the Tim Holtz Shattered collection in the 6 X 6. This time she didn't emboss it just left it as is. Then she layered it over Core Essentials Brights cardstock and stamped on the back of the white for the top of the card.
And a layout using some BasicGrey Core Impressions: According to Debbie, she loves creating layouts using some of the Core Impressions as the background . Sanded and dusted it creates such a great palette to use on your page.

Day One at National Hockey Festival
Contact: Ashley Meunier, Communications Manager
(719) 866-4365, email@example.com
For Immediate Release
November 25, 2010
Day One at National Hockey Festival
PHOENIX, ARIZONA – Despite the two-hour delay from a morning frost, the first day at National Hockey Festival in Phoenix, Arizona was a success. The weather cooperated with sunny skies and a high in the mid-60's.
The Reach 11 Sports Complex was packed as nearly 3,500 athletes with their families trickled into the parking lots bright and early for a full day of field hockey. For some, it was their first trip. For others, Festival is their family Thanksgiving tradition.
"Festival is a unique event as it is always played over Thanksgiving weekend. For most families on this day, it is turkey and football. For everyone in the field hockey world, it is National Hockey Festival. I am always excited to see the amount of families that choose to celebrate the holiday watching and playing the sport of field hockey. It really was a wonderful first day," said Karen Collins, Director of Events and Logistics at USA Field Hockey.
All eighteen fields were filled with athletes from 8:00am until 7:00pm and approximately 220 games were played throughout the day. University and college coaches were in attendance observing the best skilled field hockey athletes and women from the USA National Team were signing autographs for all the fans.
"The first day of Festival was spectacular. In all the events I have attended at Reach 11, I have never seen the facility look better than it did today. Athletes got a first class experience and the weather was perfect," said John Schmieder, President of the Phoenix Regional Sports Commission.
Expecting another frost tomorrow, the schedule of games has been pushed back by one-hour for an 8:00am start rather than 7:00am.
"We hope for another beautiful, sunny day just like today and look forward to day two of National Hockey Festival," said Collins.
Results from today's games can be viewed on the USA Field Hockey website at www.usafieldhockey.com.

Korean-Style Pork Wraps with Chili Sauce
- 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha hot chili sauce
- 4 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 1/2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 head Boston, Bibb, or butter lettuce, leaves separated, washed, and patted dry
Wrap the pork tenderloin in several sheets of plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 40 minutes. (This is to make it easier to thinly slice, so make sure it doesn't freeze completely.)
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil, green onion, garlic, and ginger. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves.
Take the pork out of the freezer and unwrap on a clean cutting board. Slice the pork into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, 1/4-inch wide, and 2 1/2 inches long. Place the pork strips in the soy marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Sriracha hot chili sauce, the honey, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Stir to combine. Set aside.
When the pork has marinated, take the bowl out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pork from the marinade and carefully place in the skillet. (Be careful that the drippings don't splatter out of the pan.) Cook the pork, stirring constantly with tongs or a wooden spoon, 4 to 5 minutes, until the pork is cooked through. Remove from the heat and stir in the sesame seeds.
To serve, spoon several tablespoons of rice into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style. Top with a few pork strips and drizzle with a few drops of the chili mixture. Roll up and eat!

Research Interests
I am broadly interested in many aspects of arthropod ecology, especially predator-prey interactions. My research seeks to monitor temporal changes in spider food webs within the forest leaf litter. Since spiders are generally food limited and feed primarily according to the availability of their prey, they can ill afford to be too selective when they forage. The level of opportunistic feeding should fluctuate, however, as the prey community adjusts to seasonal climatic conditions. I am interested in tracking the strength of these predation responses to changes in prey availability throughout the year using molecular gut content analysis. Delineating patterns of spider foraging dynamics on a seasonal basis will provide valuable insight as to the role that these dominant predators play in the decomposer food web.

Nørgård on DaCapoPosted by Jay Batzner in CD Review, Choral, DaCapo, Jay Batzner, Symphony, tags: CD Review, da capo, Jay Batzner, Nørgård, String quartet, Symphony
Symphonies 3 and 7
Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Danish National Vocal Ensemble, Danish National Choir
Thomas Dausgaard, conductor
DaCapo Records
DaCapo has released a new recording of Per Nørgård's Symphony #3, a masterpiece of color and structure to say the least. The only other recording of this work that I have ever encountered (and perhaps the only other recording) is the Chandos release paired with Nørgård's piano concerto. The Chandos recording has served me well over the years and was a major contributor to me becoming a fan of Nørgård's music. This new recording, however, is sonically superior in almost every respect. The sounds are sharper, crisper, and more detailed.
From the opening piano notes, through the glistening high-pitch descending lines, to the rich full brass and vibrant flexatone in the first three minutes, I felt like I was hearing this work for the first time again. The sonic clarity and crispness of the performance is perfectly stunning. The orchestra and voices perform with an infectious sense of joy and tranquility. I can't listen to the piece without my stomach fluttering.
There are moments in the piece that I think are best left to recording, dare I say, instead of a live performance. This symphony is a work in which anything can and will happen. The organ's entrance is a moment of musical perfection, especially when you don't know it is going to happen (sorry to spoil the surprise). The same goes for the choir's entrance 10 minutes into the second movement. You didn't know that you wanted to hear voices until they emerge. Ulla Munch's solo is buttery and lovely.
The disc also presents the world premiere recording of Nørgård's Symphony #7. This composition is an excellent pairing to Nørgård's Symphony #3 as there are many similar sonic elements but the overall tone is much darker with more drive. Instead of languishing in transcendant lush harmonies and colors from the symphony from the 70s, Nørgård's most recent symphony (completed 2006) is full of agitation and motoric contraptions. The first movement's molto agitato looses its steam for just a moment in the middle before winding back up again. Simple melodic paths and sprawling chords form the second movement but still placed together in a disquieted way. The ending movement is a jagged and dance-like romp that sounds like it could serve as a contemporary Petrouchka ballet. The same high-quality recording and performance holds true in this symphony. You hear everything that happens and everyone is performing on their highest level.
Per Nørgård
String Quartets 7, 8, 9, 10
The Kroger Quartet
DaCapo Records
The same coloristic worlds that are explored in Nørgård's symphonies are still at work in the more intimate genre of the string quartet and the Kroger Quartet sounds to be the perfect vessel for these four works. Each of the quartets on this recording were written in collaboration with the Kroger Quartet and these later quartets span the early 90s to the mid 2000s (Quartet 10 is from 2005).
Quartet 7 is a very extroverted display of Nørgård's colorful style in an approachable harmonic and gestural language. Quartet 8, subtitled Night Descending Like Smoke, spans 5 short movements and captures moods and materials from Nørgård's chamber opera Nuit des Hommes. The Kroger quartet nails the tense sound, terse language, and microtonality. This quartet is my personal favorite on the disc, even though all four quartets are given rich and nuanced performances and once again display DaCapo's knack for a transparent capturing of sound.
Quartet 9, Into the Source, tracks the notion of moving against the flow of things. The gestures are energetic and driving throughout, even in the calmer second movement. There is a sense of disquiet that I find foreshadows much of what I hear in the depths of Nørgård's Symphony #7.
Quartet 10, Harvest Timeless, is the only quartet in a single movement and the long lyrical line that laces the whole movement together feels deeply personal. This might sound strange, but I feel like this quartet is like eavesdropping. I hear the joy and serenity from Nørgård's Symphony #3 doing battle with the darker tone of Symphony #7 throughout this quartet. Throughout it all, The Kroger Quartet has chameleon-like powers of color shifting and timbral transformation. If you are into Nørgård in any capacity, neither of these discs should escape your ears.

Tuesdays With Rita: Christmas Milestones
5 comments:
- AnonymousDecember 13, 2011 at 12:23 PM
How fun to see you in front of your Christmas tree as a young girl. It's a great sweet photo. Thanks for sharing. SusanneReplyDelete
Rita-did you have Meet the Beetles? I sure wish I still had that one!! I remember buying that album and wondering to myself if I should spend the money because they were a brand new group and maybe wouldn't be that popular!! HA!!ReplyDelete
Rita, do you see that white ornament with the two red stripes on it? I have the same one!!ReplyDelete
The Beach Boys was the first album I owned, but I do remember going to the movies to see the Beatles movie (Help? Hard Day's Night?) and sitting in the front row, jumping up and down in my seat and screaming -- especially during the scenes where they were running around (for some reason).
I think I had the same record player! And I got ripped off with my first album purchase - someone came up with the Beetles and I didn't know the difference. Sheesh. $4.95 was a lot of babysitting in those days. Lori de FroupReplyDelete
Awesome picture!!!ReplyDelete
the best i've ever seen, wow!
