By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
When University of Mississippi senior Doug Odom graduates next month, he will travel around North America with his father before beginning a master's program in higher education administration.
A member of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College and multiple honor societies – including the prestigious Phi Betta Kappa – Odom plans to pursue a career in university administration.
Had a newly announced program been available four years sooner, however, the Jackson native could have been preparing for an assignment as a public school teacher.
Ole Miss and Mississippi State University recently announced a collaborative effort to entice more of Mississippi's best college students to become educators.
The Mississippi Excellence in Teaching Program will offer a full academic scholarship and other incentives to honors college-caliber students at each university who agree to major in education and serve as English or math teachers in Mississippi for five years.
Odom admits it would have been very attractive to him when he graduated from St. Andrew's Episcopal School in 2009 having made a 31 on the ACT.
"I definitely think it would have appealed to me," he said. "Coming out of high school, one of the main factors I looked at in choosing colleges was the financial aspect.
"It would have appealed to me that it was all expenses paid, and it was an integrated program where you got to work with other people. I also like that it is something that goes above and beyond four years of college."
The MET program will be funded for five years by a $12.9 million gift from the Robert M. Hearin Support Foundation in Jackson.
"I think it is exactly the kind of thing that will attract higher performers," said Hank Bounds, the head of the state's university system and former state superintendent of education.
The program hopes to lure those students with a package that pays full tuition, room and board. It also includes meal money, textbook costs, a computer stipend and study abroad.
"This is as good as any scholarship we give," said Richard Blackbourn, dean of Mississippi State University's College of Education.
It also will carry prestige. The highly-selective program seeks students with at least a 28 on the ACT and the high GPAs, class ranks and community service credentials found in honors college candidates. By creating a cohort of high-performing students, it will help remove a stigma – fair or not – that education is not a very demanding major.
Its selectivity will instill pride in its participants. Some of them also will be in the honors college at their respective university, although that won't necessarily be required.
"I think this program will be great for folks that have strengths in their content area like English and mathematics but may not have been drawn to teaching because of its perception," said Lina Trullinger, who will direct the program for MSU.
Lindsay Linhares and Gracy Hewes are seniors in Mississippi State University's Shackouls Honors College. Each said she is committed to her current career choice – public service and physical therapy respectively – but believes the scholarship program would have drawn several college classmates into the field of education.
"I think if high school students are on the fence about education, it could definitely persuade them," Hewes said.
Linhares thinks the scholarship and the study abroad opportunities would be particularly appealing.
"I think this is a great way to find people who want to teach and to train them so they can later make a great impact on the future leaders of the state," she said.
Odom also feels the program's sense of mission resonates.
"If they had an easy to remember mantra and mission statement, I think that could be a huge deciding factor," he said.
Ryan Niemeyer, who will direct the program for Ole Miss, said reading the essays of students who have applied for next fall's inaugural class has been revealing.
"A lot of them say that people have tried to persuade them to do something else because of the low pay and work that goes into teaching," Niemeyer said. "A lot of them were able to articulate why teaching is so important. Many also cited social justice and said they wanted to influence students to develop the same passion for English or math or that they have gotten so much from education and they see so many kids or teachers not engaged and they want to make a difference."
Selection decisions are currently being made on this fall's class, but Niemeyer said UM is still accepting applications for math spots. MSU has already picked its 20 students, and its initial class will have a 3.85 grade-point average and a composite ACT score of 29. Both Niemeyer and Trullinger will soon begin recruiting for the second class.
"Even before the inception of this program, we have had a lot of brilliant students and sometimes it gets drowned out in the dialogue about education how amazing some of these students are," Trullinger said. "I think one of the good things about this program will be letting these kids shine."
The program aims not only to attract top-caliber students into education, but it also plans to give them a unique training experience. Although they will follow the same education curriculum as classmates not in the program, participants also will be enrolled in a special seminar class each semester.
The seminar will cover such topics as what it means to be a teacher, the joys and excitement of teaching, the challenges of poverty and other issues educators will encounter in the field. It may also include a leadership class and special honor-level classes.
At least once per semester and during the summer, the cohort from both universities will jointly attend seminars held on either campus.
Students also will travel to high-performing schools in the United States and around the world, perhaps going on multiple week trips during their sophomore and junior years.
"We want to take them to exemplary schools to show them what a great school can look like," Trullinger said. "…They will get field experiences an ordinary teacher education program candidate wouldn't have. I think those experiences are really going to foster a sense of the power of change."
The goal also is for the students to bond from living together and taking classes together, so they will have a support network to call upon after graduation, Trullinger said.
The only commitment is for participants to teach in a Mississippi school, but program leaders are seeking additional funding for those who decide to go into high-needs schools.
Bounds, meanwhile, said the Legislature should a salary bonus to all teachers who graduate from the program.
"Getting some of Mississippi's best and brightest students who have a passion for giving back and a passion for service, there is an opportunity to make a difference and an impact in Mississippi," Niemeyer said.

I have worked as an expatriate in Kenya over the last seven years. My wife has been working with the United Nations at Gigiri, while I served as a development consultant with a number of non-profit organisations operating in Kenya, Southern Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia. Over the last five years, Kenya has experienced marked growth in the number of professional writing services, more so CV writing. Today, a simple search on Google brings out a whole list of service providers, something that was difficult to find just a few years ago. The quality of workmanship in this field, as in many third world countries, is characterized by a few professionals who understand the real depths of their business, and a whole mass of emulators, who believe in faking it until they make it.I thought of writing this review after my adopted son who recently graduated from the university of Nairobi, requested my assistance in finding a good resume writer to aid his job hunt. At about the same time, two of my friends needed a new CV each, one for career transition from banking to corporate finance, while the other was seeking promotion from Procurement to Finance in a local NGO, and so needed a new CV. After reviewing the charges in the local market, I was surprised that we could get a total of 10 CVs for the cost of one back home in the UK. And that's where the adventure began.We drew a list of what we thought were the best CV writers in Kenya. This was mainly based on their brand presentation in local media and online, and from asking a few of our colleagues for referrals. We ended up with a list of 10 CV writers, to whom we threw the challenge of writing the three CVs. Of course, we didn't announce the competition, and each candidate called each service provider individually to place the order. The difference in time from the first to the third CV was about a month. We ended up with a pool of 30 CVs for our comparison. From our analysis, this is how the top five CV writers in Nairobi performed on the three assignments, judging by language use, job alignment, formatting, and uniqueness of presentation: 1. CVs By John - cvsbyjohn.com 2. My Dream CV - mydreamcv.com 3. Corporate Staffing - corporatestaffing.co.ke 4. R4K Consultants - r4kenya.com , and 5. CV Shaper - cvshaper.com The quality from the remaining five took a nose dive such that it became difficult to rank them. Some had glaring grammatical errors, a few had problems with adapting the format to the function, while some simply lacked depth. From the above list, only CVs By John and My Dream CV insisted on us sending a job description to help align the CV to the jobs in question, which perhaps explains their high degree of precision in aligning the CV to the jobs. After my background research, I discovered that both CVs By John and My Dream CV are contractors for leading US based resume writing agencies.Although all the CVs presented were great, we ended up using CVs from the first three writers, and they all secured the candidates job interviews. While this was a rather subjective test, it could nonetheless serve as a rough guide for expatriates and other professionals working in Kenya on where to seek professional CV writing help without much guesswork.

Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMD)
Safe Implants
High-quality, active implantable medical devices, such as pacemakers or cochlear implants, give patients new quality of life. EU Directive 90/385/EEC defines the requirements for active implantable medical devices on the European market. As a notified body, we conduct conformity assessments for your active implants.
Depending on your needs, we can:
- Evaluate your product design and audit your quality management system (Annex 2).
- Conduct an EC type examination and review quality assurance in the manufacturing stage (Annex 3).
- Perform EC verification (Annex 4).
Benefits at a Glance
With product tests and certifications from TÜV Rheinland, you:
- Meet all the necessary requirements for launching your products on the EU market
- Boost your customers' confidence in the quality and reliability of your active implants
- Benefit from fast lead times and our years of experience
Our Services for Active Implantable Medical Devices
We conduct conformity assessments based on Annexes 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the Directive 90/385/EEC on active implantable medical devices.
Example of a conformity assessment procedure based on Annex 2 for AIMDs
- Product Design Examination
Our experts review all of the design documentation (design dossier) for compliance with Directive 90/385/EEC. Upon successful completion of the examination, our certification body issues an EC design examination certificate.
- Optional Preliminary Audit
We define the scope of this audit based on your needs. We provide you with an audit report listing potential areas of improvement.
- Initial Certification Audit
Phase 1
We audit your company on-site to determine whether you are eligible for certification, or analyze all the required information about the company. For example, this phase might include a review of your quality management documentation. We then provide you with a report on the results.
Phase 2
Prior to the audit, you receive an audit plan. During the audit, we determine whether your processes comply with the requirements of the relevant directives and standards. We pay special attention to whether your products meet these requirements. Each relevant production facility is included in the audit. The audit team includes an expert in your product category or categories. We provide you with a detailed audit report.
- Certificate/Approval
If the results of the audit are positive, you receive an approval for the conformity assessment procedure. This is followed by a regular surveillance audit every 12 months and recertification every 5 years.
- Declaration of Conformity
Upon successful completion of the audit, you can issue the declaration of conformity for your products and market them with the CE mark, including the ID of the notified body (0197).
Our Recommendation: Conformity Assessment based on Annex 2
For active implantable medical devices, each product needs to be audited by a notified body. Most manufacturers choose the conformity assessment procedure in Annex 2. This procedure also includes an examination of your design dossier. Since examining design dossiers is time consuming, we recommend manufacturers of active implantable medical devices to contact a notified body well in advance.

Great new forum! There are not many places where you can find reliable information for the traveling turkey hunter.
Does anyone have any Outfitters they recommend for a Texas Rio hunt? I probably need several recommendations. The problem is that I have been talking to a "booking agent" about hunting one south Texas ranch. I am just not real comfortable with the deal. The ranch owner has not returned my call and the agent wants 50% deposit before any "official" forms are sent to be signed. I expressed some concern that I would like to review ALL paperwork prior to sending ANY money. The agent responded that "we don't even create the paperwork until we receive the deposit, but I can send you samples", which he does. I just don't feel real comfortable with this arrangement.
The problem is that I have already taken off the week of March 20th to go on a hunt. That is opening weekend in South Texas and most reputable places will likely be booked. It's only 3 weeks away.

OK, then. I'll answer for you:
We went to war because Iraq had 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'. Turns out they did not. Turns out that lots of folks in the intelligence community didn't think they did. Turns out the Bush admin cherrypicked the data that supported their claims, while ignoring what didn't.
False pretense.
I think anyone who voted for the war shares the blame, though it's impossible to imagine a scenario where we would have gone in had the Bush admin not led the charge.
FWIW - Somehow the entire delegation from my little hayseed state was able to see that the 'intelligence' was absolute crap. That's cold comfort, though.

Stroke Center at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center
Good Samaritan Hospital became the first hospital in the state to receive the combined recognition of the state as a Designated stroke Center and the Gold Seal of Approval for healthcare quality for strokes from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
what is a stroke?
A Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), most commonly known as a Stroke, is the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer. It is also a leading cause of severe long-term disability. Are you at risk for a stroke?
Just as a heart attack is caused when blood flow is restricted to the heart's arteries, a stroke is caused when blood flow to the brain is restricted. A stroke occurs when brain cells die from lack of oxygen.
A stroke is a life-threatening event that happens when part of the brain is not getting enough oxygen. It may be due to either a prolonged lack of oxygen to the brain or bleeding into or around the brain. Each year, approximately 600,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke. A fact to remember - 80% of strokes are preventable!
signs & symptoms
If someone is experiencing signs of a stroke, they must receive medical care as quickly as possible to avoid permanent brain tissue damage or death. The most common symptoms of a stroke include:
- A sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
- Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
It is important to note that not all of these warning signs happen in every case, but if you experience any of these you must seek medical attention immediately. A stroke is a medical emergency – CALL 911.

Which Way from Newton Aycliffe?
Following up on Tuesday's post about a route from Newton Aycliffe, two Campaign members have checked the various options.
Tuesday was a miserable day, intermittent rain, cloudy and cold, but even so we set out to Patches lane to see whether that was a viable option. Basically - no chance. This former railway line should not be designated as anything but a bridleway, with mud up to the hubs at numerous places. Apparently, this is the case all year, apart from a few days at the height of summer.
Tim advised that the bridleways to the east of the A167 were in a similar state, so we declined the chance to try these. Instead we had a look at the A167 itself. Interestingly, there is a shared cycle/foot path on the Newton Aycliffe side of the motorway roundabout (southern side of road). The crossing of motorway-leaving or bound traffic is not as onerous as it might be. We then hit the footpath on the Darlington side of the motorway featured in the video.
This is officially designated "walk your bike", but we believe that this could easily, and justifiably, be upgraded to a shared-use cycle/foot path. Bear in mind that, until Harrowgate Hill, this is a rural area. We didn't encounter a single pedestrian all the time we were filming this route. And we even came across some expensively paved parking space as we approached Darlington. Whose money financed THAT folly, I wonder? Surely, if there was ever a case for a shared path, this is it.
Issue will be raised with the local authority imminently.

Upgrading the footpath seems like a no-brainer to me. Even the council should be able to manage a no-brainer ;)
There's lots of work like the block-paved parking spaces going on all over town. It's official name is "verge hardening". It's what is done when car drivers park on the grass verges and make them a mess. Rather than stopping the drivers doing this, they pave or tarmac the verges. I feel this makes the footpaths less safe for families to use: the verges used to act as a barrier keeping younger children further from the road. I'd also argue that if we're going to pave verges it should be to allow bike lanes, not car parking.

Thanks for clarifying, Mike. This confirms Tim's explanation to me as we were cycling past. If we were to remove the jolly Rutles sound track, you'de hear my expletive deletives as I pointed out these parking spaces. I was genuinely gob-smacked that anyone could consider pandering to the car in such a way in this day and age.

Excellent video, I'm having a re-think after a couple more return journeys from my place of residence in Newton Aycliffe to Darlington Town Centre.
I like you also used the shared footpath approaching the Motorway but having to give way to vehicles going in and out of the services, but more about that later.
I also rode up the narrow path to Coatham Mundeville, illegally I suppose!
But after crossing the road at the top of Coatham Mundeville bank to all the way to Darlington I took my chances and rode on the road keeping in the side lane marking where it was available, I have a high visibility waistcoat and if I didn't I wouldn't risk staying on the road I would be on the path as you were.
I recently invested in a rear view mirror which I would highly recommend if anyone's thinking about it, I don't know about you but I tend to veer in some dangerous directions when I'm trying to look over my shoulder!
Looking at the way they've re-designed the road since overtaking was prohibited by the creation of a red zone in the middle of the road and central islands at certain places I can't help wondering.
Instead of taking that space in the centre of the road why didn't they narrow the road by putting a double white line down the middle and increasing the space at either side and make cycle lanes?
As you say the expensive block paving vehicle parking as you approach further towards darlington could well have been shared use path, but I think this was done prior to Darlington's Status as a Cycling demonstration town so it might not have been thought of.
I wanted to check out the Skerne Bridge option on my way into Darlington so I turned in left down "The Leas", crossed Thompson St E and went down Pendleton Rd this wasn't too bad at all traffic calmed with speed humps that aren't the right across the road type, which is good for cyclists.
After Crossing Fitzwilliam Dr. I wasn't sure which way to go, there's a path down to the left which seemed like the right route to take, but it was difficult to determine if it was shared cycle use or not there were a couple of sign posts but that was it just the posts nothing on top!
So anyway went down that way, it started to get very remote I'm not sure how secure it would make people of a nervous disposition feel, but its not exactly overlooked by any housing etc.
A little further along there is a well defined cycle path lowered and adjacent to the footpath this smart good design, similar to how roads are at a dropped level from pavements, top marks for that.
Approx halfway along there is a path off to the left again no signs but it seemed like the right route to have a look at the Skerne Bridge, so negotiating the tubular bars sunk in the ground I ventured down it, it doesn't go far before it just abruptly comes to an end, and the side arch of the Skerne bridge is all bricked up, there is a mud track down and under the bridge next to the river but I thought it wise not to venture down there!
Again this is all rather remote again, I was pleased when I was back up and onto the original cyclepath.
So, up to Albert Rd and along to North Rd traffic lights turn left and down through the railway bridge, although it is a sort of pinch point the one good thing is its approach from both directions is downhill so at least you can get a bit of pace up and are through quite quickly.
Along the shared Bus Lane Cycle lane no problems, and down John St to check out the Magnet side of the Bridge.
I cycled along Magnets car Park right up to the wall, I wasn't sure if I was trespassing or not but nobody came out to take issue.
Anyway there's just a short distance from that wall to the bridge, I wouldn't have thought it would be too big of a job to get this opened up and restore the link to the other side which must have been there some time in the past hence the path leading down to it on the other side.
The only thing that bothers me is the nervousness I felt being alone in those areas maybe I'm over-reacting to too many media stories I don't know but I definitely feel safer up on North Rd, even with its traffic, its swings and roundabouts.
So my Re-think, although I do like traffic-free routes, I'm beginning to see the point our European colleagues have with regard to well defined and in the case of Bremen Prioritised Cycle Lanes actually constructed on the existing roads.
The biggest trouble with cyclepaths in this country is although the cyclist is travelling on a major route they have to give way at every minor junction and driveway, continually disrupting the cyclists flow, we should have cycle lanes as I said above which preserve the priority of the route just as if the cyclist was travelling on the road, where in that case the motor vehicle has to give way and they are aware of it.
In the Case of the pinch point Railway bridge we should have clearly defined cycle lanes at each side of the road and signs telling drivers to give way if they are following cyclists towards the bridge and the width of the road is going to be so compromised that they won't be able to get through without encroaching on the cycle lane, they would have to slow down and follow the cycle/s through!
I'm a cyclist but I'm also a driver, its not hard to slow down and speed up when all you've got to do is press a few controls and the engine does all the work for you!
I now understand why there's a lot of cyclists will still use the roads when there's a perfectly good cyclepath provided at some expense running alongside them.

Thanks for that comprehensive analysis, Jeff. It tallies very much with a number of the Cycling Campaign's conclusions.
The Magnet gap is frustrating, but we have been discussing this with the council for nearly 2 years, and they are doing their best to sort out the legal issues to get access to it and complete the Skerne route. After Magnet, the plan is to take it along Chesnut Street rather than Northgate, all the way to the pedestrian crossing on the ring road behind M&S, where a new gap in the wall is being made for us.
But your thoughts about safety etc echo ours for these routes. Many non-cyclists in the UK, compared to the rest of Europe, are women. These fears - and the fear of dangerous road traffic - put many off cycling. So if we want to get more people on bikes, we need to be aware of this.
The point you mention about disrupted travel by give way signs etc on our cycle paths is exactly the same conclusion we make. This has been the focus of a recent national petition to Downing Street - to get the national law changed so that cycle paths (and pedestrians!) have priority at these "side road" junctions. But the politicians are not responding. We just have to keep pushing. If they are serious about reducing carbon emissions and encouraging more cycling, it's practical measures like this that will have to be taken - right now they just don't have the guts to challenge the car's dominance.
Not sure if you got a copy, but you might find the paper we wrote for our recent Symposium interesting on this point. You can download a pdf version at http://cyclingsymposium.blogspot.com/

I cycle from West Cornforth once or twice a week and stick to the road all the way - it's not too bad until Coatham Mundeville then the 'safety' islands cause problems narrowing the road too much for a lorry and cyclist. As I ride a hybrid I've found the paths along the A167 too rough to ride. Another danger point is approaching the mini roundabout at Salters Lane North and North Rd due to the the lane markings - it's far too dangerous to move into the correct lane. Also the lights near Morrisons cause problems sometimes when traffic is busy. I've not noticed any signing or indication of a cycle route as an alternative to North Rd.

Thanks for the comment anonymous.
There is an official alternative to cycling down North Road, using Pendleton Road. This will take you on quieter streets from Thompson Street to Albert Road, if you carry on onto the Riverside Path.
However, at Albert road, you've no alternative but to get back onto North Road, so it's not really worth bothering with.

Why not organise 'protest' rides? For instance several riders riding legally in the road in places where protection or prioritisation is required. Newton Aycliffe to Darlington would be a prime canditate! Only problem may be a negative impact on motorised users but may be offset by increased publicity and pressure on the council to spend their grants. (As an outsider I've seen no noticeable impact of Darlo becoming a demonstration town.)

Protest rides are a good idea, as long as they are properly targetted and well carried out.
Before a protest ride, we'd need to make sure that we've lobbied the council fully for the appropriate route - why protest if the council are willing to provide what we need? We'll now raise the Newton Aycliffe issue, so let's see what response we get.
Maybe more appropriate is the Pedestrian Heart issue. The council know our views, there has been a long debate, and we are now going into a "trial 6 months" (from July 1) when bikes are allowed.
We have always said that the alternative - the ring road - is far more deadly than the Ped. Heart. If cyclists are forced on to the ring road after all this, a protest on the ring road would be the next logical step.
But to make an impact, I think we need more than a few riders - 20 or more would make people sit up and realise that there is a bike lobby.
We will be assessing how many of our members would be willing to take part in such a protest if the need arises - there are many shy cyclists in our ranks, so don't hold your breath!
But if you would be an active supporter of such a protest, please make sure and join the Campaign so we can keep in touch!

I'm joining this blog at a late stage but nothing seems to have changed on the Newton Aycliffe route. I cycle this route and on to Spennymoor once per week and I think the only way to manage the A167 is on pavements, often illegally. My daughter and I recently cycled up the rough track/bridleway that is on the cycle map parallel to the road. Apart from fallen trees, overhanging bushes and a stream to cross, we spent much of the route hauling our bikes behind us through deep mud. At one point I suggested she leave me and save herself but she kindly pulled me out of the mud. It would be ideal as an off road route if there was a better surface.
Both of us are now very keen to join a protest cycle.

Thanks for the comment Marianne. I'm usually happy to ride on the roads, but the A167 into Darlington is one road where I always ride on the pavement.
I believe that there are plans to make some of the routes into the town more bike-friendly in the future...

In my last Sunday Morning Coffee post I talked about a new segment I was going to start for this year. That was to document the shaving of the weight from my pack in order to go lighter and more comfortable on the trail.
The segment is going to be called 52 ways of shaving weight.. or something like that.. I'm still looking for a snazzy name. Much like the effort many online Scouters shared in the #100daystrong campaign.. anyway.. for now.. it's 52 ways to shave weight…
Last week I ordered new stuff sacks from zpacks. They are Cubin Fiber and super light. The heavy of the 3 sacks I ordered weighs in at 5 grams that's .2 ounces. The lightest sack is 4 grams or .1 ounces. The bag that my cook kit was in weighed 20 grams or .7 ounces. That bag has been replaced by the 5 gram bag. That is a net savings of 15 grams or .5 ounces. That may not seem like a lot of weight.. but add that up over all of your gear, an ounce here and an ounce there and you have pounds.
This week I looked at my pack.
I weighed my pack.. totally empty.
It weighs in at 4 lbs. I took every plastic stopper off of the pack and replaced them with a figure 8 knot. Serves the same purpose (to keep the line from threading through the buckles). The Pack is now at 3 lbs 15 ounces or 1798 grams. I have been looking at the optional flap storage bag that clips to the pack. While I like it for easy access, I tend to fill it with lots of small stuff. Through this process of looking at how I pack and what I pack.. I may be able to shed that part of the pack all together. That would add to the savings. The lid/pocket weighs in at 257 grams or 9.1 ounces. That would shave an additional 1541 grams off the pack. That would bring that pack total to 3.3 lbs or 54.24 ounces.
What I am finding is that "Ultralight" backpacking is more of a philosophy of thought that it is about backpacking. The philosophy dictates that you look at the process and the science if you will on what you take, how you take it, what you use it for, and yes… how much does it weigh. This does not discount safety and comfort, on the contrary.. it forces one to look at how they can be just as safe and just as comfortable while backpacking with the net result being more comfortable, fresh, and pain-free when the pack comes off.
This process forces you to have a critical eye to make decisions on the gear you choose and pack. It takes on that scientific feel as you weigh gear and make those decisions.
I found a good Excel spreadsheet online. It is designed and built from a backpacker that frequents Backpackinglight.com.
It is a great way to build your kit, look critically at the weight of all your gear and make sound decisions. I am finding it a great tool for meeting my goals in weight reduction and a fun way to track and measure my progress.
Here is a link to the gear list. If this doesn't work, drop me an email and I will send it to you.
So I am on track to shaving that gear weight. See what you can do and let us know your progress… Also.. help me with a cooler name for the segment. Leave your suggestions in the comments section.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Been spending time studying things like Plan 9 and understanding the strengths of its design on some issues such as namespaces and thinking about how best to do it in Linux. Al Viro did a private namespaces in Linux hooking into the "clone" system call with additional flags. On FreeBSD this could be done in rfork() and on Mac OS X we don't have either of those so we'd have to find an appropriate mach_task setting or implement rfork to do something similar.
Private namespaces are very cool and can do away with such things as symbolic links and jails/chroots if implemented properly. DragonFlyBSD has an implementation of something called "variant symlinks" in which a special environemnt variable can complete a portion of a path for a symbolic link. /usr/lib/libqt.VAR.so could point to many different versions of qt based on an environment variable. Pretty neat stuff.
Not sure how far I'll get trying to implement stuff like that in xnu [darwin/Mac OS X kernel] but it's just for fun right now anyway.
I'm going to repartition my Firewire drive and get a bootable Panther installation on there for playing around.

Open Innovation is an important component of the foreseen European Innovation System, where all stakeholders need to be involved and create seamless interaction and mash-up for ideas in innovation ecosystems*
*See Henry Chesbrough, Open Innovation: The New Imperative for Creating and Profiting from Technology, 2003, and also Center for Open Innovation, Berkeley University.
Open Innovation 2.0 (OI2) is a new paradigm based on a Quadruple Helix Model where government, industry, academia and civil participants work together to co-create the future and drive structural changes far beyond the scope of what any one organization or person could do alone. This model encompasses also user-oriented innovation models to take full advantage of ideas' cross-fertilisation leading to experimentation and prototyping in real world setting.
We talk about principles of integrated collaboration, co-created shared value, cultivated innovation ecosystems, unleashed exponential technologies, and extraordinarily rapid adoption. We believe that innovation can be a discipline practiced by many, rather than an art mastered by few.
There is much that needs to be done to properly establish OI2 in Europe. This is why policy makers must make serious efforts to strengthen the framework supporting open
innovation approaches.
There are 5 key elements in the new Open Innovation process:
We base our thinking on Quadruple Helix innovation models – involving institutional bodies, research sphere, business sector, and citizens in the process. This new generation of open innovation leads to stronger economic impact and better user experience in Europe.

It is great to have such support, but I do not understand why, he is so shy to disclose the contributors? I think, it is just nice to thank people for their support. If Bayer is is the list - it needs to be acknowledged as well. At the very end of his WEB-site he has a few names, but, they are not "average beekeepers" and there is no Bayer.

Things on this page: Links to recommended items on Amazon, product reviews, alternatives to K-Cups, coffee books on Kindle, books about birds and biodiversity in the coffee lands, and current promotions and specials from select roasters.
I write this site because I have a passion for coffee and a career as a bird ecologist — and many of the birds I study spend the winter in coffee farms. My experience as an ecologist in this field, I think, makes me uniquely qualified to write on the intersection of coffee and conservation. I hope I provide an authoritative, unbiased look at the issues surrounding coffee and its impact on the environment that people find useful. I appreciate your support of this site through your readership, comments, and purchases made through affiliate links that help pay for my web hosting, research, and associated costs. Thanks so much.
Many of the products that I recommend are all gathered at the
Coffee & Conservation Amazon store
Product reviews, featuring alternatives to K-Cups
I have reviewed a number of coffee-related products. Reviews can be found by looking through the posts in this category archive.
Among the most popular of these reviews are the ones explaining the various alternative to the ridiculously wasteful K-Cups for Keurig brewers, which dominate the U.S. single-serve market. I strongly believe that if you really feel you have to have one of these brewers, you should use your own (sustainably-grown) coffee in them. Here are some of the best ways to do it:
- Refilling K-Cups using the My-Kap reusable lid.
- The My K-Cup reusable filter basket for Keurig brewers.
- The Solofill reusable coffee filter for Keurig brewers.
- ekobrew reusable coffee filter for Keurig brewers.
- Melitta JavaJig reusable coffee filter for Keurig brewers.
I have a summary post that presents a table listing all the reusable alternatives to K-Cups which allow for the use of a consumer's own coffee which includes price, capacity, rating, and notes.
Coffee books on Kindle
I have quite a few books listed in my Amazon store. I am personally a big fan of Kindle reading devices, and this widget shows coffee books that are available on Kindle as well as free eBook reading apps available from Amazon (hover over image for arrows to scroll through choices).
Bird and biodiversity books
Interested not just in coffee, but also the birds and biodiversity that depend on coffee lands? Here are some excellent books that will introduce you to the roots of my passion.
- Silence of the Songbirds. An overview of the threats to songbirds that nest in North America, many of which winter in coffee lands. Includes information on the coffee-and-birds connection; the author is one of the "Voices" of the birds for Birds and Beans coffee. (Kindle edition).
- Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere With Migratory Birds. Beautifully written book about the incredible twice-yearly journeys of our birds.
- A Neotropical Companion. An eye-opening introduction to the American tropics, their remarkable rainforests and other ecosystems, and the amazing biodiversity in them.
- Songbird Journeys: Four Seasons In the Lives of Migratory Birds. Another book outlining the incredible wonder of bird migration. (Kindle edition).
- The Tapir's Morning Bath: Solving the Mysteries of the Tropical Rain Forest. One of my favorite books on the New World tropics by one of our best nature writers. I reviewed this book on one of my other web sites.
- Birds of Tropical America: A Watcher's Introduction to Behavior, Breeding, and Diversity. Like the title says.

I cut it off at Bal because that is the last of the best teams from 2000 to 2012. The rest do not qualify. Bal has a Super Bowl win, 2 more division titles (on their way to 3 more) and a .604 winning % (compared to Jets .515) It is funny how the best teams continue to be the best while the Jets keep hovering around .500 like they have the past decade.
The 2000 Jets never had a better record the last 7 games of the season. Miami was up at least 1 game from week 12 on, so how exactly did Miami need them to choke? The 02 Jets were 2 games back with 2 games to play and they wouldn't play Miami in either game. The 08 Dolphins and Jets were both 9-5 entering the last 3 games of the season. They would play each other in week 17. Miami didn't need the Jets to blow those games against other teams. Even if the Jets kept pace, Miami would beat the Jets themselves in week 17 to give them the division title. That is totally different than the Jets needing to rely on other teams like they did in several of their playoff apps. Those are not excuses, they are the facts.
so let's take away the Giants SBs the last 5 years then too. Did '09 & '10 happen? then stop whining about it. I can say 100% of your SB wins came in a 2 year period, take those 2 years away and you have none.
Miami won the div by 2 games over us, we held the tiebreakers based on sweeping you and we went 0-3 the last 3 weeks and lost 6 of our last 9. We handed you the division based on your logic.
we were a DEAD team in week 17 in '08 and we atill nearly beat you. we blew the division the weeks prior where our only win was a defensive TD late against Buf as they were trying to run out the clock.
The 2000 Jets never had a better record the last 7 games of the season. Miami was up at least 1 game from week 12 on and won the division by 2 games at 11-5. The 02 Jets were down 2 games with 2 games to go and the won the division on a tie breaker at 9-7. That is not even close to being the same. What happens early in the season can be overcome. When you still need to rely on another team (that you don't even play) losing in order to make it (in the last week or 2), is completely different. That was the case with the Jets in several seasons, and was not the case with the 00, or 08 Dolphins.
the 2000 Jets held the tiebreaker, the 200 Jets lost 6 of their last 9. If they went just 5-4 instead of 3-6 we win the division but we lost our last 3 and 6 of 9. I'm using your weak excuses here.
the only season we relied on teams losing week 17 was 2002. In 2008 you needed us to lose 4 of 5 to end the season, in 2000 you needed us to lose 6 of 9.
The bottom line is this, you guys have ONE playoff app since 2002, you have ONE playoff win since 2000. You are far beneath us in recent, relevant times. Even as bad as we were last year we were ahead of you, as bad as we have been this year we will likely finish ahead of you.
The 2000 Dolphins were never behind the Jets in the standing from week 12 on. Again, the 08 Dolphins and Jets were both 9-5 entering the last 3 games of the season. They would play each other in week 17. Miami didn't need to rely on someone else taking care of business against the Jets since they would play them at the end of the season. Even if the Jets were able to keep pace, Miami would take care of business themselves in week 17. The Dolphins didn't need to rely on anyone other than themselves. The same can not be said about the Jets who needed other teams to beat the Dolphins twice (the last 2 games of the season) in 02, and who needed Buff to lose in week 17 in 04, and needed Indy to lay down for them in 09. One of the best teams of the decade don't need those things to happen to make the playoffs.
The Dolphins have been really bad over that time span. I'm not saying otherwise.
Bad is bad and missing the playoffs is missing the playoffs. I'm glad finishing a couple games better than a 6-10 team makes you feel better about the Jets. You will feel really good about next year if / when you finish ahead of teams like Buff, SD, Oak, Tenn, and Cle.
If you want to go with the most recent history, why don't you start with the new decade? The Jets will have missed the playoffs 2 out of the last 3 years while the best teams over that time span continue to be the best.
Again, the Jets held the tiebreakers and lost our last 3 and 6 of 9, using your flawed logic we gave you the division.
We only needed Miami to choke in 2002, we've been over the '04 scenario before. We essentially had a playoff spot clinched after week 15.
You played 3 non playoff bound opponents in 2009 including 2 at home and you lost all 3. It's not our fault teams like Miami choked. Buf had Pitt backups at HOME in '04 and lost, we faced Hou backups needing 1 win in '93 and lost. Nothing is guaranteed but once in we proved we belonged unlike the 2008 dolphins who got thrashed at home in the WC rd.
It doesn't make me feel better but how can you make fun of my team when it is always better than your team?
In this new decade we have 1 playoff app, 2 playoff wins, you have zero of both- we still win and we still have the most title game apps of any team in the league(though we are tied for that lead as well as tied for the lead in AFC playoff wins).
It is impossible to use my logic when the situations were completely different. You can't compare the Jets losing games early in the season to needing the Dolphins to lose the final two games of the season to clinch a spot on a tie breaker at 9-7. The Jets were 2 games back with 2 games to go and wouldn't play the Dolphins again. The Dolphins were up a game from week 12 on in 2001 and won the division by 2 games at 11-5. In 2008, they were tied at 9-5 with a game against the Jets still on the schedule. Those situations are nothing alike.
We have been over it, and you have been proven wrong. The Jets clinched nothing in week 15 of 2004. They could have, but they failed to take care of business losing 3 of their last 4 games. If Buff hadn't lost, they would have been eliminated. The difference from the Jets making it or not came down to weather another team won or lost for them. That is not how one of the best teams over a decade gets into the playoffs.
I'm not making fun of your team, I am disputing your claim that they have been one of the best teams from 2000 to the present. Anytime someone points out the facts that show that they were not, you come back with how much better the Jets are than the Dolphins. Being better than the Dolphins has nothing to do with being one of the best teams in the AFC.
The Dolphins have had their worst 12 years in franchise history while the Jets have had their best 12 years in franchise history. You should have been better 12 out of 12 years and had a lot more playoff apps if your team was really one of the best. The truth is, they have not been.
The facts are the Jets only have 3 more playoff apps and 7 more regular season wins than a franchise that has been struggling for 12 years. Prior to 2009 / 10, the stats were nearly identical to Miami's. Those count, but 2 crazy runs that racked up 70% of the playoff win total doesn't change what happened the last decade.
I haven't been proven wrong, we didn't need to win a game after week 15 so essentially we clinched w/ our week 15 win and again we only needed a tie in week 17. There's no way we attempt a 50+ yd FG late in OT if we didn't know Buf had lost.
You can use the 12 worst years excuse but every decade Miami is getting worse. SB wins in the 70s, sb apps in the 80s, 1 title game app in the 90s, 1 playoff win in the 00s.
we have 6 more playoff wins since 2001, 5 more since '00. You have 1 playoff win since '00, your last title game app was 1992. we have been much better for a LONG time and that will likely continue b/c we have a down year here and there but alway bounce back, you guys stay down.

Councilman Pushes For Charges Against Twitter User Who Spread Falsehoods
"I hope the fact that I'm asking for criminal charges to be seriously considered will make him much less comfortable and much less smug," says Vallone
New York City Councilman Peter Vallone told BuzzFeed Tuesday that he's asked the Manhattan DA's office to look into charges against a Twitter user, Shashank Tripathi, who spread misinformation during Hurricane Sandy.
Tripathi, who tweeted during the peak hours of Hurricane Sandy, resigned as the campaign manager for New York Congressional candidate Christopher Wright Tuesday evening. Tripathi, who goes by the pseudonymous @comfortablysmug on Twitter, also issued an apology to the people of the New York saying his actions were "irresponsible."
"I'm glad he apologized," said Vallone, a former assistant district attorney who represents Astoria, in Queens. "I think the consideration of criminal charges will assure this kind of stuff doesn't happen again."
Vallone told BuzzFeed that "the Manhattan DA is taking this very seriously." But he conceded that "it's a very difficult case to make."
Vallone said the DA's office would have to make the case that the tweets were sent deliberately to fool the public with "no legit basis for the tweets themselves." He said it was "easier to prove" tweets sent by Tripathi about Manhattan losing power were more obviously conjured up and not based on other false news reports.
"Everyone knows the example of yelling fire in a crowded movie theater," Vallone said.
"A little bit of truth makes them much more dangerous," Vallone added, saying the nature of the feed having truth mixed with falsehoods made it hard for people to separate lies from fact.
"I hope the fact that I'm asking for criminal charges to be seriously considered will make him much less comfortable and much less smug," Vallone said.

- A popular app changed the name of a filter after people complained it whitewashes them. The filter still lightens your skin though 🤔

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Col. Kurtz and the Heart of Darkness
The best idea, of course, was to listen for the bird from the field and then move or make a setup depending on the turkey's location. But as you probably noticed, I had never hunted that turkey at fly-down time. Why? I'd been stuck on another evil turkey elsewhere. I couldn't kill that bird, either, so it made even more sense to try Col. Kurtz from the field at flydown.
But I didn't. I tried the other turkey and whiffed. Then I went in on Col. Kurtz at about 9 a.m. He wasn't in the big northern field, so I figure I'd slip along the logging road to the southwestern edge of the farm, which, as mentioned, as the one area where I'd never seen him.
My calls netted no responses, so I continued easing along, hoping to eventually peek out into the neighboring fields. About 50 yards from the edge, however, Col. Kurtz and his tribe poked their heads up, busted me and high-tailed it off the property.
Unreal. The illogical plan of going where they'd never been might have actually worked -- if the bird had answered a call before I blundered in and boogered him.
I love the smell of failure in the morning.
What decision did you make?

There was plenty to cheer for in the 2011 crop of games.
1_YAKUZA 4 | PlayStation 3 | It's an open-world, role-playing, beat-'em-up, dating sim, gangster drama — and even that does not begin to describe the breadth of Yakuza 4. With four playable characters equally adept at beating up thugs and delivering tearful monologues, the game is earnest and silly in equal measure, and sometimes at the same time. In 2011, there was nothing else like it.

Featured Story
FitFest promotes a healthier Princeton
Posted March 7, 2005; 12:49 p.m.
Members of the University community unwound at massage tables, watched martial arts demonstrations and learned how to improve their golf game all under one roof as part of Princeton's FitFest 2005 health expo.
FitFest, which is intended to become an annual event, brought together a wide variety of fitness and wellness activities in Dillon Gymnasium on Thursday, March 3.
FitFest featured interactive experiences, demonstrations, free classes, mini-lectures, workshops and a campus walk and fun run. The range of activities included: bodybuilding, nutrition and breast cancer awareness lectures; boxing, hip-hop dancing and yoga classes; and belly dancing, tai chi and kayaking rodeo demonstrations.
The event was coordinated by the Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation and co-sponsored by the offices of the vice president for campus life and human resources and the Frist Campus Center. Other participating campus groups included: dining services; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender student services; the risk management and ombuds offices; and University Health Services.

Had a 'small christmas' (as we call them in finland) with the other guys from our small firm, BOFH Networks. Looks like we might get a real job from the city instead of this 'semi-volunteer' stuff :-)
Uploaded new spong-packages, which got installed a bit before I noticed that I had forgot to close a quote in spong-server's postinst. Otherwise they seem to work fine.
I started working on a web-interface for our users to change their passwords and other informations. db.debian.org includes such functionality and seems to work great, but their CGI-code isn't publicly available (to my knowledge).

He's at it again: Pacific Crest's James Faucette, who has an Underperform rating on BlackBerry (BBRY) shares, and who has been skeptical about the company's roll-out of its new smartphones based on its "BB10" operating system, the Z10 and the Q10, today argues that the Q10, which is currently on sale for pre-order in the U.S., will "fall flat" given what he argues are weakening trends in overseas markets, where the device has been on sale for some weeks.
BlackBerry shares today closed up 9 cents, or 0.7%, at $13.63, apparently as rumors circulated that activist investor Dan Loeb of Third Point has taken a substantial stake in the company.
The Q10 just went on sale today at AT&T's (T) Web site for pre-order for the U.S. market, and is expected to become available at Verizon Communications's (VZ) Verizon Wireless stores next Monday, June 10th, Verizon said this afternoon.
Faucette says "checks" of sales in the U.K. and Canada show Q10 sales falling to a level of about 10,000 units or so per week in each country, below what he models as having been as much as 35,000 units per week for the Z10 at its debut in February:
Our checks in the United Kingdom and Canada indicate that sales of the Q10 continue to run well below the bar set by the Z10. We believe that before the Q10 launched, general expectations were for equivalent or slightly stronger demand based on the Qwerty keyboard. However, we have consistently found Q10 sales volumes in both the United Kingdom and Canada to be half or less compared to Z10 sales after equivalent periods of time. While there may be several explanations for this, in our view, it appears that the Z10 simply sated the majority of BB10 demand prior to the Q10's launch after faithful BlackBerry users were forced to wait a long time for the new platform to be released.
Faucette offers the following graphic of what he projects to be total BB10-based handset sales in the U.K., Canada, and U.S. since February (click for larger image):

Consumers, health professionals, and Food and Drug Branch-regulated companies can have a positive impact on public health by reporting any problem associated with foods, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics and certain other consumer products. The California Department of Public Health, Food & Drug Branch (FDB) is responsible for ensuring that these products are safe and not adulterated, misbranded or falsely advertised and that drugs and medical devices are safe and effective for their intended use.
We need and appreciate your willingness to take the time and effort to assist us in collecting the necessary information to take appropriate action. FDB evaluates each complaint to determine the seriousness of the problem. Action taken by FDB can range from referral to responsible firm for corrective action to immediate investigation to protect the public health.
Retail Food Facilities (e.g. restaurants, food trucks, cafés, etc.)
The local health department (LHD) is responsible for the initial investigation of consumer complaints regarding foods served or sold at retail food facilities (e.g. restaurants, food trucks, cafés, etc.).
To file a consumer complaint regarding a retail food facility, click the link below and contact the LHD or navigate to the LHD's complaint reporting webpage.
Commercially processed foods, Drugs, Medical devices, Cosmetics, and Consumer products
The Food and Drug Branch (FDB) is responsible for complaints regarding commercially processed foods, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics and certain consumer products affecting Californians.
Consumer Complaints can be reported online at: http://www.cdph.ca.gov/FDBComplaints
If you choose to report a complaint by phone, fax, or mail please include the following information:
By phone: Toll Free at 1(800) 495-3232 automated 24-hour service
By fax: (916) 650-6650
By mail: California Department of Public Health Food & Drug Branch P.O. Box 997435 MS-7602 Sacramento, CA 95899-7435
If the situation is an emergency that requires immediate action please contact:Office of Emergency Services 24-hour staffing at (916) 262-1621.http://www.oes.ca.gov/
If the situation involves suspected botulism please contact your Local Health Department immediately.
Up on receipt of a consumer complaint, FDB evaluates the report to determine how serious the problem is, and, if necessary, may request additional information from the person who filed the report before taking action. Follow up activities initiated may include contacting the retailer, distributor, and manufacturer to identify the responsible firm, and the facility location. Once the basic information is established, FDB determines if the complaint requires referral to an outside agency. If the complaint is for a product within FDB's jurisdiction, the appropriate inspection unit is notified.
Consumer Complaints regarding foods served or sold at retail food facilities that do not involve illness or injury (e.g., cockroach in food served at a restaurant, filth in bulk food bins at a market) are referred to the Local Health Department (LHD). All other food complaints not involving an illness or injury (e.g., swollen cans of tomato sauce, a cupcake with metal fragments in it or "foul" tasting produce) should be referred to FDB for follow-up.
This category includes any incident, which presents, or may reasonably be expected to present: (a) serious adverse health consequences including a threat to life, a necessity for immediate medical or surgical intervention by professional medical or health personnel or permanent damage or impairment of a body structure or function; or (b) other adverse health consequences where significant numbers of people are or may be expected to be at risk (e.g., botulism, paralytic shellfish poisoning, or product tampering).
Class I complaints are immediately investigated to protect the public health. CDPH officials and other state or federal agencies are advised as required. If it becomes apparent from investigation that products outside California are affected, the appropriate federal agencies are notified.
This category includes any incident, which presents, or may reasonably be expected to present, other adverse health consequences, which are temporary or medically reversible in nature. (Example: finding a foreign object in a food product.)Class II complaints are investigated based on the inherent risk of injury that the issue poses. Appropriate CDPH officials and other state or federal agencies are advised as needed.
This category includes any incident, which presents, or may reasonably be expected to present, no adverse health consequences. (Example: short-fill weight, high fat in hamburger.) Class III complaints are generally referred to the responsible firm for corrective action. The complaint is most often referred by telephone or letter, and FDB requests to be notified of the follow-up actions taken by the firm. Complaints involving products manufactured out-of-state are coordinated with the appropriate federal agency (e.g., FDA, USDA, or CPSC) for follow-up with the manufacturer.
FDB uses its statutory powers under the California Health and Safety Code including its authority to inspect, take samples, review records, and embargo to investigate complaints. To the extent possible, FDB solicits the cooperation of industry to resolve complaints but, when necessary, may seek legal action.

If you need to disclaim being a racist, a bigot, or for that matter a republican in public, what are you?
I disclaim being a republican although that was me way back and still is according to those who know me. In fact some call me one of the last of the real Lincoln Republicans, this is not true, many still do not believe in nouveau republicanism although they are few and far between.
PS live in Columbia, SC along side Congressman Joe Wilson or Senator Demint, or State Senator McConnell if you want a primer on recognition of Embedded racism. It is not about race here, it is all about race. You have hundreds if not thousands of Sources to check on here.
And remember when someone needs to stand up and shout "I am not a Racist" he believes in Heritage. The second lesson I learned in the Marine Corps was this, If you call it Heritage, then he can get away with almost anything.
Semper Fi
And why does the Alpha or the Omega make no sense to so many here? Read the posts again and reread. Where are the Leaders? Who are the Followers? Face yourselves head on, I actually see some of the huddling masses start to open their eyes. How long will it last till the Obama, or Clinton or the Democraps or other comments without constructive thought come back on line? quick, reinforce each other, someone might go liberal or even go back to being an American and not a Real American.
This has been a lesson on What A Normal American might see here but aimed at the Constituency present. Someone out there take command and lead them out of the woods for they know not what they do.
Sempter Fi
I think Mainstream Americans are beginning to realize what a mistake electing Obama has been. The groundswell of dissent has started and will only continue to increase. Only fools will agree with people Obama surrounds himself with. Haven't you had enough of Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers a convicted terrorist, Van Jones, the criminal entity Acorn, 57 Czars?
Geez, Roger...the Boston Globe!!! You gotta be kidding me.
That rag is so biased...they probably made that shit up.
Train the dog, the ribbons will take care of themselves.
Calling someone you do NOT know a racist is as serious an attack on that persons character as anything that has been said to you.
Ask Omega.......
Sanctimony is a form of elitism, your forte'
In regard to prejudices, I find most people working to build, support and love their families could by and large care less the color of a persons skin.
Where I find the disconnect is in cultural differences.
They exist, and more missunderstanding occurs there.
I am sure you know that, but that perspective does not support your "race card" defense.

"semper paratus!!"
bob & weave...........
BTW-I am claiming you have issues concerning race based on your preoccupation concerning the topic.
Stan b & Elvis
Yardley (in response to A-O)Would have to agree with Jeff. A-O it seems you have only joined this group this month. I don't actually know any of them personally, but this POTUS forum has probably been around for about a year, so am finally beginning to get a sense of who is which.As one of the "liberals" here, I believe you paint with much too broad a brush. Personally, I do not believe that most, or even a large percentage, of evangelicals are racist. I also do not believe that most, or even a large portion of conservatives are racist.
I don't think that someone objecting to being called a racist automatically confirms that they are a racist. If you called me a liar, I'd object to that, too.
If the right-leaning people you've met are all jerks, you may have erroneously assumed the converse: that the jerks are all conservatives. Being a jerk is probably the most non-partisan trait there is It happens all over the place.

Some hospitals that qualified for the Birth and Beyond California Project were not yet ready to participate. Regional Perinatal Program of California (RRPC) Region 8, in Orange County, developed and offered a six-session Quality Improvement (QI) tutorial workgroup in order to prepare them for participation. Tutorial participants learned how to create systems to successfully improve their maternity services.
Hospital administration, risk management and perinatal management staff from multiple facilities were invited to participate in this tutorial work group that was led by RPPC staff. Outside speakers were added when appropriate. Through this series of sessions, the group learned how to create a Multidisciplinary Quality Improvement (MQI) Committee for each facility using Work Group participants as the nucleus.
The outcome of the six one-hour sessions was a Hospital Quality Improvement Team at each facility. The Team provided leadership in implementing evidence-based policies and practices that support breastfeeding within the maternity care setting. In addition, those who participated in this project became the nucleus for their own Regional Quality Improvement Network.
Below are the meeting topics and downloadable materials. Speaker's notes in the PowerPoint presentations provide additional direction.
Download the full Tutorial (23.4 MB)
Individual sessions are can be downloaded below:
After this series, it is helpful to conduct individual hospital visits. A PowerPoint (PowerPoint, 3.8 MB) with suggested topics to discuss during this visit is also included.
Prior to this hospital visit, include hospital-specific data in the PowerPoint Slides. Examples are provided within the slides.
