Latest Move in School Safety? A Panic Button.
Not all emergencies give people the time or ability to call 911. One Georgia city has installed panic buttons in all of its schools, and similar plans have been introduced in California and New Jersey.
It's a nightmare scenario for any school: A shooter forces his way onto the premises and opens fire. But if such an event were to happen at one of the 14 public and private schools in Marietta, Ga., teachers and administrators can now press a panic button that directly alerts the authorities.
The idea of a panic button had been in discussion in Marietta for a while, says David Baldwin, an officer at the Marietta Police Department, but the December tragedy in Newtown, Conn., which left 20 elementary school students dead, put the policy on a fast track. Installation of the buttons, which cost about $5,000 altogether, began in January. Installation and testing are now complete, and the buttons are ready to use -- although adminstrators hope they never have to.
"Newtown really accelerated a lot of things. Things that might have been a little further down the road were pushed to the front of the line," Baldwin says. "One of those things was the panic buttons."
The Marietta police department isn't releasing the exact number or locations of the panic buttons that were installed. But they have been outfitted with protections to make sure they aren't accidentally pressed, Baldwin says, and the buttons are located in places where only teachers and administrators can access them.
The buttons operate on a dedicated, direct line to the Marietta police dispatch unit. Once the dispatcher receives a signal, he or she has been instructed to send all available units to the school. The buttons should make it easier for school staff to get in touch with the police when a more traditional 911 phone call might not be feasible, Baldwin says. The police department conducted extensive training with school staff on proper usage of the buttons, although Baldwin again declined to identify exactly what kinds of situations would warrant their use.
"In the midst of any emergency situation, you're not going to have time to pick up a phone and call 911," he says. "This way, the cavalry is already on its way."
Marietta isn't the only place where schools have looked to panic buttons to beef up school security after Newtown. The Glendale, Calif., school district announced in late February that it would soon begin installing alert buttons at its 30 school campuses. The Maine Emergency Management Agency is currently accepting applications for schools to apply for up to $5,000 in state funds to install buttons. Bills have been introduced in California and New Jersey that would mandate the installation of panic buttons statewide. The New Jersey bill requires a button in every school, as Marietta has done; the California bill goes a step further and calls for a button in each individual classroom.
Since the Newtown massacre, conversations on improving school safety have led to a number of proposals, including arming teachers themselves, which Indiana is currently considering. Those sorts of ideas have been rebuffed by teachers unions like the National Education Association (NEA), which generally support greater gun control and improved mental health access. The NEA doesn't have a specific position on panic buttons, says Marc Egan, deputy director of government relations at the NEA, but the group would oppose statewide mandates like the ones being considered in California and New Jersey.
"Facility upgrades can be a part of improving school safety, but this really is a good example of decisions that ought to be made at the building level," Egan says. "What we don't want to see is a mandate at the state level, where you move in a direction that you're turning schools into fortresses. We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that schools are still very, very safe places to be."
In Marietta, the panic buttons are viewed as one piece of a broader plan for school safety, says Dayton Hibbs, assistant superintendent for the school district. The police department has also held active shooter training with school staff, and the district has refined its school entry policies, moving to all-digital card readers instead of keys.
"We approach school security in terms of layers. We want a variety of things in place that will increase safety for our students and teachers in the building," Hibbs says. "The panic buttons are an additional layer that we're able to add to increase the safety of everyone within our building"

Pseudogout is one the types of arthritis. The symptoms includes sudden painful swelling in joints, swollen joint warm to touch, red/purple skin around the joint, severe tenderness around the affected joint, the slightest touch may also bring extreme pain. It mostly affects the knee or the wrist. The most commonly affected joint is the knee. The Crystal deposits within a joint cause both conditions (Gout & Pseudogout), although the type of crystal differs for each condition. The risk increases with age. The treatment can help relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation.
The diagnosis is done by taking a fluid from a joint and is examined under polarizing microscope. The calcium pyrophosphate crystals are clearly identified by their characteristic shape and color. The pseudogout is common in older adults. Treatment is not advised if the condition is not causing pain because any medication that could reduce the inflammation of pseudogout bears a risk of causing organ damage. The treatment includes intra-articular corticosteroid injection, systemic corticosteroids, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Although popular, the Wikipedia is not without its problems. A couple of days ago, we reported on the curious case of John Seigenthaler's Wikipedia entry (since removed). The former assistant to Attorney General Robert Kennedy was slandered, describing him as being directly involved in the assassinations of both his boss and his brother, President John Kennedy.
As a result of the problems, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has decided to make some changes to how Wikipedia operates. Most prominent is the decision to allow only those with Wikipedia accounts to create new entries in the article database. Wales hopes that the change will cut down on the number of new articles being posted, and by implication, the amount of inaccurate data contained in Wikipedia. In addition, it should give the staff a chance to catch up.
Anonymous users will still be able to edit content, however, which will limit the efficacy of Wikipedia's change. And therein lies the problem. Any crank with an agenda can change an article to advance his cause or just make mischief. Of course, that's the whole point of wikis in general, and the Wikipedia in particular: anyone who has knowledge, expertise, or merely a strong opinion can contribute to the knowledge base. It's a great way to build up a body of content quickly—Wikipedia has grown to over 836,000 English-language articles since its inception in 2001, and there are tens of thousands of entries in other languages as well.
Wikipedia staff and users face the same problem: ensuring quality and accuracy in article entries. One possibility floated by Wales is flagging "stable" articles so that they cannot be edited any further. But that just pushes the question of accuracy back one level from the reader and Wikipedia-building community to the editorial staff. What makes a volunteer editor qualified to judge when the entry on hypostatic union is stable?
It's difficult to imagine a way out of the conundrum for Wikipedia. It wouldn't be such a problem if the site hadn't acquired a certain legitimacy and authority. It's not unusual on the Ars OpenForum to see someone citing a Wikipedia entry to buttress an argument. Personally, I think the Wikipedia is great. I've gone to it on more than one occasion to get some background information on a topic and will sometimes browse through it when I've got some idle time. But idle reading, arguing on the Internet, and settling bar bets is one thing; it's when the scene shifts to business or academia that citing the Wikipedia as an authority can get you into trouble.

Google's Motorola Mobility unit is accusing Apple of infringing on seven of its technology patents and seeks a ban on U.S. imports of the iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Google made the complaint to the U.S. International Trade Commission, saying that Apple violated patents for location reminders, email notifications and phone/video players, according to Bloomberg News. Although Motorola Mobility is making the claim, the unit was bought by Google in May.
The ban on Apple's imports would greatly hurt the tech giant because its products are all made in Asia, namely China. "We would like to settle these patent matters, but Apple's unwillingness to work out a license leaves us little choice but to defend ourselves and our engineers' innovations," Motorola Mobility emailed Bloomberg News.

Description: Hello DragoArt fans and welcome back to another drawing lesson that is sure to knock the pencil from your hand. Yesterday was a great day and I hope you all liked the tutorials that I submitted. Today I thought I would start off the day with a lesson on an awesome character from the Mega Man series. So, I will be filling another request and you will now learn how to draw Mega Man Zero step by step. Now I am not gonna sit here and tell you that I have played this game before because I haven't. What I can tell you though is that all the characters from the Mega Man gaming series are wicked cool and very well designed. Mega Man Zero is a character that was first introduced during the release of Mega Man X. But back then he was less detailed which means his look was very plain. As time went on and more parts of the series were released, Mega Man Zero began to take a much more detailed appearance. There is a total of nine Mega Man X series with the first being the best. When Mega Man Zero first came out it got rave reviews which lead to the creation of Mega Man Zero two, three, and four. The character took me a total of six hours to draw from sketch to finished line art, and to the coloring process. Even though Mega Man took so long to draw, I still had a fun time drawing him out because it made me better at what I love to do. And that is a big help since I haven't been drawing lately due to changes going on with the site and other stuff in my life. Don't worry all the changes have been and still are good. So enough about me, and let's get started with this lesson on how to draw Mega Man Zero step by step. All the steps are drawn so that it will be easy for you to follow and understand. I hope you like this lesson; I will be back in a while with more drawing fun so stay tuned. Peace out!

Dirks set to restart rehab assignment at Triple-A
DETROIT -- The on-again, off-again rehab assignment for Tigers outfielder Andy Dirks is about to be back on. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus announced that Dirks will restart his rehab assignment on Saturday at Triple-A Toledo.
It'll be the third time in about six weeks Dirks has started a rehab stint. His most recent stint lasted five days before he tweaked a hamstring playing the outfield 10 days ago. He was pulled off his rehab assignment a week ago.
Since more than five days passed since Dirks was pulled off rehab, his countdown restarts, meaning he gets up to 20 days to play in minor league games before the Tigers have to make a decision. With just 2 1/2 weeks left in the Triple-A season, that all but ensures the Tigers don't have to bring him up before rosters expand Sept. 1. Since Dirks spent all season on the disabled list, he's eligible for the postseason roster regardless.
"If he plays tomorrow and plays through, I think that would be enough [time to be ready]," Ausmus said.
At this point, staying healthy enough to play through is the tricky part. If he can do it, he'll give the Tigers a left-handed hitting option in an outfield full of right-handed batters.

Hello All,
I am the proud parent of an American Pit Bull Terrier named Preston who was saved from a fighting operation in Akron, Ohio. I am also producing a documentary about breed discrimination titled "Guitly 'Til Proven Innocent". I used to be on this forum when I first started this film about 2 and a half years ago, but I lost my login information, so here I am again....
I am calling all Ohio pit bull owners as there is a very important bill that will die soon pertaining to our four legged companions. House Bill 79 was introduced by State Representative Sears that will, if passed, remove the Breed Specific language in our state law that states---
"Vicious dog" means a dog that, without provocation and subject to division (A)(4)(b) of this section, meets any of the following:
(iii) Belongs to a breed that is commonly known as a pit bull dog. The ownership, keeping, or harboring of such a breed of dog shall be prima-facie evidence of the ownership, keeping, or harboring of a vicious dog.
We are the only state in the U.S that has Breed Specific language in our state law and this allows people of political power and local dog wardens to discriminate against us and our beloved family pets. We must call/write/email our State Representatives and make them change this law and it starts with pressuring the passing of Ohio H.B. 79.
If you are an Ohio resident or know someone who is that has a "pit bull", please email me immediately. Our pets lives depend on us to protect them from harms way...both physically and legislatively.

Animal Emergency & Urgent Care
4300 Easton Dr. Suite 1
Bakersfield, CA 93309
(661) 322-6019
What We Are
The Animal Emergency & Urgent Care (AEUC) is a 24-hour auxiliary veterinary facility. We are here for emergency and urgent care needs when your regular veterinary hospital is not open. We are also available anytime day or night for emergencies or urgent care when your regular veterinarian is not able to see you right away. Transporting a pet to AEUC may involve a longer drive than to your neighborhood veterinary hospital, but we will strive to minimize the stress of going to an unfamiliar facility as much as possible.
Please call us at (661) 322-6019 before bringing your pet in so that we may be better prepared to help you and your pet when you arrive. If indicated, we will suggest immediate first aid measures, and then give you specific directions to our facility.
We do not offer non-emergency services such as vaccinations, spaying, neutering, or fracture repair. In most cases you will be referred to us by your regular veterinary hospital.
Our Primary Goal
We provide intensive care facilities for patients that are critically ill or injured. Some of the emergency situations we encounter are: injuries associated with bone fractures, pets hit by cars, snakebites, seizures, poisonings, burns, electrocutions, near-drownings, shock, heat stroke, heart or breathing failure, bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea, and inability to pass urine.
Immediate medical and surgical care is provided to save life, however we do not engage in complete bone and fracture repair; this service will be provided by your regular veterinarian. Our services also provide prompt relief from other mishaps or ailments that may not be life threatening, but are painful or a cause for concern on the part of the pet owner.
Referral Policy
Most veterinary hospitals refer emergency calls to us in the evenings, and on weekends & holidays. They may also send you to us for further treatment and observation overnight when they are closed.
Emergency Priorities
On many occasions, the AEUC experiences a rash of emergencies. Our admitting staff triages all incoming patients and identifies those that have a life threatening condition. Those patients are immediately taken in and lifesaving measures are promptly initiated. In these situations, less critical cases may be asked to wait. We will examine all pets presented to us in as short a time as possible. Your patience and understanding are appreciated.
Aftercare of Your Pet
You will receive specific aftercare instructions when you check out with your pet. Please follow them carefully. If you have questions concerning your pets aftercare or medication instructions, please call us at: (661) 322-6019.
We stress that proper follow-up care is of great importance to the successful outcome of all cases. Even when an office visit to your veterinarian is not immediately called for, we suggest you call their office the morning following your visit to the AEUC. If you do not have a veterinarian, please consult the Bakersfield Area Veterinary Hospitals map available in our reception area.
Extended Care for Your Pet
Although some pets may be released to go home within a few hours of admission, many will be referred back to your regular veterinary hospital the next day for continued hospitalization, treatment, and tests. Your pets medical records will be faxed to your regular veterinary hospital, or to the hospital of your choice.
Transferring Your Pet
Please don't worry about the trip to your veterinarian with your pet. Our nursing staff will help you to your car with your pet and your regular veterinarians staff will assist you when you arrive at their facility. We will also contact your veterinarian prior to your arrival there, either by fax or phone call, so they can be expecting you and your pet.

Manufacturers will take deductions for inside mounted products, each customer is responsible for reading the specifications of each product or moving your mouse over the "?" next to the mounting option. PLEASE NOTE- DEDUCTIONS ARE TAKEN ON INSIDE MOUNT SHADES. BECAUSE THESE ARE MADE BY MACHINES, THERE IS A +/- VARIANCE OF 1/8" ON ANY POSTED DEDUCTION!
To be sure of the deduction that each manufacturer is taking off your blinds, Call Customer Service 1-800-836-4488. EVERY MANUFACTURER WILL DEDUCT FROM THE INSIDE MOUNTED BLIND, you need to give the exact measurements of the inside window opening, not a pre-measured blind. It is no recommended that you take your own deductions on any product. When in doubt, call us 1st.

Nurse to plead guilty related to cancer clinic
Hearing set for Oct. 15
A federal judge has scheduled a change of plea hearing for a nurse charged with withholding information about a crime at a former south Mississippi cancer clinic that prosecutors say was involved in a multimillion-dollar fraud.
Courtney Michelle Young is scheduled to plead guilty Oct. 15 in U.S. District Court in Jackson.
Young and another nurse, Brittany Davis Powell, are charged with misprision of a felony.
Court records say they didn't report that the clinic's founder ordered nurses to make retroactive entries in patients' files.
Rose Cancer Center founder Dr. Meera Sachdeva was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her actions at the clinic in Summit.
Prosecutors said she submitted fraudulent claims for chemotherapy services and that syringes were re-used on multiple patients.

The second leg of my September in the Rockies trip took me out from Jasper National Park, along the Icefields Parkway and finished off in Banff National Park. The days were spent scouting locations for sunrises to which I would find out at the end of the trip that the fiery morning at Maligne Lake on my third day would be the only one I would witness. The chilly fall mornings were greeted by beautiful cloudless skies and I was hoping for a few clouds to add some compositional elements and textures to these morning landscapes but to no avail. I made due with what nature presented throughout the fresh mornings in our Canadian Rockies.
Along the Parkway, Feeding into the North Saskatchewan River, Coleman Creek crosses the highway right at the Jasper/Banff Park boundary. A short hike west reveals a wonderful little canyon where the North Saskatchewan River plunges through steep canyon walls reminiscent of Maligne Canyon in Jasper and Mistaya Canyon in Banff.
The Parkway also reveals pools and ponds with rocks, reeds and grasses which provides plenty of interesting photographic opportunities.
A couple of uneventful sunrises were spent at Both Upper and Lower Waterfowl Lakes as well as Herbert Lake and despite the lack of that "fire in the sky", pleasant and tranquil mornings were spent photographing mountain reflections in perfectly still waters while the song of the loon could be heard echoing through the mountains.
The final two days would be spent mostly at Two Jack Lake, Lake Minnewanka with brief stops at Moraine Lake and Vermilion Lakes in Banff.
