Women's Fund to support children's group
While some potential volunteers might shy from a time commitment, The Women's Fund members celebrated what they can do when they pool together monetary donations for a big impact.
"I know what can happen because of donations from people like you -- they help people like me who came from nothing," said Shannon Dacus, chair of the executive committee, at the organization's fifth-annual "Power of the Purse" luncheon. "I know you and your money are making a difference, because there are women and children out there who are just like me and my mother."
The organization has given away more than $400,000 since its beginning, and it expects to surpass more than $500,000 in the next year.
This year, more than 200 members of the organization voted to support the Children's Advocacy Center, The Salvation Army's youth outreach program and the Tyler Day Nursery. Representatives from all three shared their stories with Women's Fund members.
The Children's Advocacy Center used the funds for soundproofing the rooms they use for interviewing children who have been sexual assaulted. The interviews are conducted in order to build a better case to prosecute.
Detective Diana Brown, who works with the Children's Advocacy Center, spoke of the importance of the soundproofing for children to feel comfortable.
"Children are often very uncomfortable talking in a hospital or in their homes," she said. "The last thing the children want is for people to hear their horrible stories."
The Salvation Army youth program allowed Kay Waddell the opportunity to find a job, while her son, Logan, had someone to help him with his homework and teach him about spiritual life.
"He really enjoys it," she said. "It takes a burden off of me so I can be a better mother to him."
She and Logan were able to move out of the Salvation Army shelter after she found a job as a pharmacy technician, and he still attends the program.
The Tyler Day Nursery builds a foundation for children to be better prepared for their education. Tracy Gentry's fourth-grade daughter, who attended the program, reads at a sixth-grade level -- which Ms. Gentry attributed to the organization.
"She loved it," she said. "When we pass by, she still says, 'That's my old school!'"
Members of the Women's Fund, who each get one vote no matter how much they donate, will vote for next year's grant recipients on Dec. 1. Call 903-509-1771 for more information.

Updated: November 20, 2012
A convicted sex offender investigators say was living in Jackson County, Florida under a false name has been arrested and charged with the sexual abuse of two children. Charlie Senior, Jr. according to investigators, is a registered sex offender in Georgia who moved to Jackson County earlier this year, avoiding court-ordered supervision.
"Investigators were able to determine that Senior was living under the assumed identity of Moutayvayon Dawis Drake and that Senior had obtained a driver's license from the State of Alabama that enabled him to perpetuate this identity," according to a press release from the office of Jackson County Sheriff Lou Roberts III.
Senior was arrested in June in relation to warrants issued in Georgia and failing to register as a sex offender after he moved to Florida. Robert's office said investigators later determined there is probable cause to believe Senior committed crimes on the children, ages 9 and 12. Those acts are believed to have occurred in June. Specifically, he is charged with one count of Sexual Battery on a child and one count of Lewd and Lascivious Molestation on a child under the age of twelve.
Senior, according to the sheriff, had secured an Alabama driver's license which helped him perpetuate his fake identity. He is described as the boyfriend of the victim's mother.

According to LaFayette Police Department:
Johnathan Russell Alexander of 511 Cook Road in LaFayette was arrested Oct. 5.
Alexander faces felony counts for false imprisonment, kidnapping and burglary, along with misdemeanors for battery and criminal trespass.
He was released on a $1,250 bond a few hours after being arrested.
Alexander allegedly entered a woman's residence while she was out.
When she returned he had an argument her and then made accusations that she was in another relationship.
Alexander demanded to see her cell phone and punched her in the eye when she refused, according to LPD captain Stacey Meeks.
Alexander refused to let the woman leave and then notified her employer that she would not be in for a few days.
According to the victim's statement, Alexander took the woman to an Alabama residence against her will from Sept. 24-28.
The female reported the incident after being dropped off by Alexander on Sept. 28.
In an interview with police Alexander stated that the female assaulted him first and that he "instinctively struck back at her."
The two have had a tumultuous relationship that has been on and off for quite some time, according to Meeks.
Detective Darin Kelley did verify that Alexander called the employer regarding the woman missing work for a few days.

Hey All,
I'm a former Aviation Ordnanceman First Class (E-6) of the USN, and I've come to this forum to share my passion with a bird that I never had the privilege of working with... the one and only Viper.
Why am I interested in an aircraft that was basically shunned by my branch of service? For one, it's because the F-16 is one sexy beast! Another reason as to why the Viper has got me intrigued was the fact that I play the Falcon series PC simulators, and I'm interested in the inner workings of such a great multi-role fighter. It's also a small hobby of mine to compare the F-16 to what I've personally worked on, the F/A-18 Hornet. I'm also curious on how my USAF counterparts maintain (and more importantly, load) their birds. Those are some of the reasons why I'm here.
So even though there's a lowly former squid infesting your board, please take it easy on me...
. I promise to keep the inner service rivalry to a bare minimum

No, I was never on the John C. Stennis (if that was what you were referring to?). I was stationed on the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) when she was stationed in Bremerton, WA for a time though. Was a shipboard Ordnanceman in both G-3 and G-1 Divisions and saw a little action with Operation Desert Fox (1999) and Operation Enduring Freedom (2001).
I was medically separated in 2005 after sustaining 4 herniated disks during OEF. They (the Naval Witchdoctors) couldn't fix me so they sent me home. Sometimes I miss my time out at sea. But then again, I now more time at home sitting in front of my F-16 sim without worrying about duty or being "Haze Gray and Underway" ever again!

Hate to be the one to break it to you, but the Navy doesn't shun the F-16. They're flying them as we speak.

Yes Sir, I'm fully aware that the Navy uses F-16N's for aggressor training. What I meant by being shunned was that they turned down the F-16 as the F-4's replacement bird. I'm sure that we all know by now that the USN went with a heavily modified YF-17 instead of the Viper. Therefore the Navy shunned the F-16 from active service in the Fleet.
If's and but's never amount to anything, but it would have been something else to see a Viper sitting on Cat 2 and ready for it's burner shot off the bow!

Navy went to the YF-17 for the most part due to 2 engines. Better 2 have 2 when you are over water and one craps out. DcDonnell Douglas also had more experience with Naval aircraft vs, General Dynamics.
Weight was another factor, ading corrosion protection and a beefed up landing gear would negate alot of the early a model advantages.
Hope that helps.

Welcome aboard,
The Navy would do anything, say anything to keep from buying an Air Force airplane. All the reasons you listed except 1 v 2 engines applied equally to navalizing the YF-17. The Navy has had lots of single engine airplanes operating off carrier decks (and will again, soon), so what's left? Navy pride.
You also don't mention the navalized YF-16 was to be developed with LTV supplying the carrier suitability capability. LTV has built several thousand carrier borne airplanes.

Why you calling him a loser? Although the Navy was said, it will only be using dual engine planes, they rebunked that with the F-35. The F-16 would be awsome to look at taking off a carrier, but it would look out of place. I ment the John F Kennedy CV-67, better known as "BIG-JOHN" not the Stennis, but if you where west coast, i could understand your ignorance on that lol.

Same thing could be said about Air Force pride, the F-4 was a Navy platform that the Air Force was forced to buy. They did not like that at all. It lead to the fly off competition you see today. You need to adjust your thinking back a few decades when jet engine reliability was just not there, so the reasoning was sound. The Navy does not have all that nice concrete to land on. As far as single engine aircraft recent history you are probably referring to the A-7. Subsonic, reliable and cheap.
Thanks for the reply.

All are welcome here!
Discovering the presence of God in your life is an important part of your identity at CLU. Campus Ministry offers opportunities to help you nurture that identity and calling. You will be invited and welcomed into a worshipping community as one way to explore the God Story within you.
We acknowledge the presence of a living God.
We believe in the life-giving action of Jesus Christ.
We understand the power of the Holy Spirit calling us into lives of committed service.
Prayers in difficult times.
Often when anxiety rises surrounding a disaster people are drawn to pray. When anxiety runs high sometimes people are not certain what to pray for, how to pray, or what words to use. In the peace-shattering wake of the Boston bombing I offer you these prayers.
National distress
Eternal God, amid all the turmoil and changes of the world your love is steadfast and your strength never fails. In this time of danger and trouble, be to us a sure guardian and rock of defense. Guide the leaders of our nation with your wisdom, comfort those in distress, and grant us courage and hope to face the future. O Lord, hear our prayer. Amen
Time of conflict, crisis, disaster
O God, where hearts are fearful and constricted, grant courage and hope. Where anxiety is infectious and widening, grant peace and reassurance. Where impossibilities close every door and window, grant imagination and resistance. Where distrust twists our thinking, grant healing and illumination. Where spirits are daunted and weakened, grant soaring wings and strengthened dreams. O Lord, hear our prayer. Amen
Health care providers
Merciful God, your healing power is everywhere about us. Strengthen those who work among the sick; give them courage and confidence in all they do. Encourage them when their efforts seem futile or when death prevails. Increase their trust in your power even to overcome death and pain and crying. May they be thankful for every sign of health you give, and humble before the mystery of your healing grace. O Lord, hear our prayer. Amen
A prayer of Thomas à Kempis
Write your blessed name, O Lord, upon my heart, there to remain so indelibly graven that no prosperity, no adversity, shall ever move me from your love. Be to me a strong tower of defense, a comforter in tribulation, a deliverer in distress, a very present help in trouble, and a guide to heaven through the many temptations and dangers of this life. O Lord, hear our prayer. Amen

Mr. Fujiwara makes the complete knife from start to finish. For the blade, he uses a proprietary #1 white high carbon steel (1.5%) called Izuha-kou forged laminated to a layer of stainless steel. The blade is then hardened to Rockwell 64-65 and attached to an octagon shaped magnolia wood handle. Each knife is fully sharpened to a razor edge. Blade length is 11¾˝, and overall length is 18½˝.
Over 130 years ago, Teruyasu Fujiwara the first began his career as a master black smith making farm tools. When his son Fujiwara the second was of age, he was apprenticed to the famous Tokyo sword smith Masahide Suishinshi. After some years of training, he retuned to his fathers shop and commenced to make swords.
The family continued this tradition until sword making was restricted after WWII. At this point the Fujiwara's were forced to make knives in addition to two swords a month to make a living. For a time, they became very famous for their knives used in the manufacture of Tatami mats.
But by the end of the 1960s Tatami knives were no longer needed due to automation of Tatami manufacturing. So they decided to make kitchen knives. They were determined to recover family fortunes by making the very best quality kitchen knives possible.
To this end, they spent the next ten years developing the steel and techniques necessary to forge weld stainless steel with high carbon steel and then properly temper harden the blade. It took all of the knowledge gain by the family from more than 100 years of forging swords to successfully produce their current offering of kitchen knives.
For the last 10 years, Fujiwara the fourth has continued the family tradition.
Fujiwara knives have been endorsed by many professional chefs including Mr. Kunio Fukazawa of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.

Plano Star-courier > News
By Conner Hammett,
Published: Friday, October 19, 2012 10:22 AM CDT
A Hunt Elementary School physical education teacher has been arrested amid allegations he engaged in sexual contact with one of his students.
Todd Allen Reich, 38, of Plano, was arrested Tuesday by Collin County Sheriff's deputies for inappropriately touching the student, who was 9 years old at the time of the alleged abuse.
The charges stem from several alleged incidents that occurred at Hunt, a Plano ISD campus in the city of Murphy, between December 2009 and February 2010, according to Reich's arrest warrant affidavit.
The coach began rubbing the victim's back when she was in kindergarten, and he began moving his hand down to her "behind" while rubbing her back when she was in first grade, according to the affidavit.
Reich then began touching the victim's breast in his office and in a classroom when the two were alone, the affidavit reads. The coach is also described in the affidavit as making the victim touch his "private area" through his clothing on multiple occasions and threatening to kill her, her parents and her dog if she told any person about the abuse.
Reich was warned by the former school principal to stay away from the student and have a third party nearby if contact was necessary, but Reich defied those instructions, the affidavit reads.
According to a Q&A document posted to the Plano ISD website Thursday, no allegations of indecency with a child or inappropriate touching were reported to the district before Reich's arrest. Allegations were made against Reich in December 2009 and January 2010, the document said, but no details are given on the nature of the allegations and he was not placed on administrative leave following a district investigation.
Reich was hired as during the 2005-2006 school year. He student taught at Carlisle Elementary School and Renner Middle School in the spring of 2005 before moving to Hunt later that year. He substituted at Beverly, Mathews, Haun and Carlisle elementary schools for two years prior to his employment, the document reads.
The accusations come little more than a year after the conviction of Joseph Garbarini, a Hunt Elementary kindergarten teacher who was accused in May 2010 of fondling one of his female students while pretending to change a diaper. Garbarini was sentenced to 62 years in prison after being found guilty of the charges in August 2011.
Reich is currently on administrative leave. He is out on bond from the Collin County Jail.
Plano ISD and the Collin County Sheriff's Department declined to comment on the case.

Gray Wolf Conservation and Management
The gray wolf is an endangered species throughout Washington under state law and is endangered under federal law in the western two-thirds of the state. Wolves were once common throughout most of Washington, but declined rapidly from being aggressively killed during the expansion of ranching and farming between 1850 and 1900. Wolves were eliminated as a breeding species from the state by the 1930s, although infrequent reports of animals continued in the following decades, suggesting that small numbers of individuals continued to disperse into Washington from neighboring states and British Columbia.
Reliable reports of wolves began increasing in Washington in about 2005 due in part to the recent recovery of wolf populations in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Washington now has a small breeding population of wolves in the initial stages of recovery. Five packs are present in the state as of December 2011. The first of these was discovered in Okanogan County in 2008. Single additional packs were found in Pend Oreille County in 2009 and 2010 and in Kittitas and Stevens Counties in 2011.

Abetalipoproteinemia is a disease in which a person is unable to fully absorb dietary fats, cholesterol and fat-soluble vitamins.[1] Signs and symptoms appear in the first few months of life and can include failure to gain weight and grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive); diarrhea; acanthocytosis; and stool abnormalities. Other features of this disorder may develop later in childhood and often impair the function of the nervous system, potentially causing poor muscle coordination, ataxia, and an eye disorder called retinitis pigmentosa.[1] Abetalipoproteinemia is usually caused by mutations in the MTTP gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.[2] Treatment may include dietary modification and various dietary supplements.[2][3]

"That's really what I've come here to talk about today -- raising our kids," Obama said. "I'm here to make sure that we talk about and then work towards giving every child every chance in life; building stronger communities and new ladders of opportunity that they can climb into the middle class and beyond; and, most importantly, keeping them safe from harm."
The president spoke about the "hole in that child's heart" that comes from gun violence. In neighborhoods across the country, "it can feel like for a lot of young people the future only extends to the next street corner or the outskirts of town -- that no matter how much you work or how hard you try, your destiny was determined the moment you were born."
Chicago saw more than 400 gun deaths last year and just last month, 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was gunned down near her school a week after she participated in the festivities around Obama's inauguration. His wife, first lady Michelle Obama, attended the teen's funeral and two men have been charged with her murder.
Obama introduced the "Becoming a Man" program students in his speech and called them "exceptional young men" -- especially so, he said, because of their own struggles.
"What I explained to them was I had issues, too, when I was their age. I just had an environment that was a little more forgiving," he said. "So when I screwed up, the consequences weren't as high as when kids on the South Side screw up.
"But these guys are no different than me and we had that conversation about what does it take to change," Obama continued, later adding that "for a lot of young boys and young men, in particular, they don't see an example of fathers or grandfathers, uncles, who are in a position to support families and be held up and respected."
Student Allen Ester said Obama told the group, "if we gonna change it's gotta start within ourselves."
"I had lost a couple friends due to gun violence and you know to the streets, or whatever, so I really think it's time for a change -- not just me but with a lot of people ... in Chicago," he told CNN. "It really ain't safe out here right now."
Bacon, the teacher, said he hoped the students who met with Obama would carry the conversation with them.
"He talked about the fact that he had to make a commitment to stay the path that he was on. He talked about times where he was discouraged and he thought about giving up but it stuck to it, and he's done pretty well for himself," Bacon said. "So I'm hoping our guys can emulate that same example, and who knows what is in store for them.

HEAD racquet rebel Sergiy Stakhovsky took a giant step into the US Open after New Haven trophy success, with the Ukranian wielding his YouTek Prestige MP to earn his second title of the season as he won the Pilot Pen event in Connecticut.
Victory came in a fight back as Stakhovsky beat Denis Istomin, of Uzbekistan 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. It marked his fourth career title from as many finals including a pre-Wimbledon grass trophy in June in the Netherlands. The No. 47 is due for a rise into the Top 40 in time for the final Grand Slam of the season in New York. He is set to surpass his career best level of 46th in the world.
Stakhovsky is unsure of just how he has achieved his consistent run of form. His first two trophies came indoors, at Zagreb in 2008 and last autumn in
St Petersburg.
"I have no idea why I have a perfect record in finals," said the HEAD player, aged 24 from Kiev who lives in the Slovak city of Bratislava. "I'm really happy to be able to be the winner of this match today." In the semi-final he had to beat fellow HEAD racquet rebel Thiemo de Bakker 6-3, 6-4 for his place in the final. The Dutch – playing the YouTek Prestige Pro and ranked 48th just one place behind Stankhovsky – appeared in his second ATP World Tour semi-final.
Stakhovsky who called his week "really exhausting," credits his serve with seeing him through to the title at New Haven, a short drive away from Flushing Meadows where the Open is staged. "There were really a lot of good rallies. It definitely wasn't our best tennis from both of us. But we were trying as hard as we could. Definitely we were fighting for everything."
"I had a lot of three-set matches, a lot of time on court. But now I must get myself together for the US Open. I'm really glad to win this title. It pushed me to another level again. But I just need to think forward again and get ready." The winner improved his record this season to 19 wins and 17 defeats.

Virgin Active UK Virgin Active is a global health club operator offering world-class facilities. They're passionate about exercise and wellness and provide a wealth of expertise through their qualified staff in a motivating, fun exercise environment across 122 clubs in the UK. A unique approach Dom Boon, UK Head of People, Virgin Active, said: "Our purpose is to enrich people's lives through activeness. That means that we are inclusive, sustainable, non-judgemental and we support our local communities. The consumption of our product has a very positive impact for both individuals and our wider society – social and environmental activities are a natural extension of that and we see real business benefit from our investment of time and resource in these areas." What do they support? Spinathons. Swimathons. And lots of other "athons"! With their partner charity Sparks, which provides children's medical research, the company aims to raise £200,000 by the end of 2012. The money will fund important research into heart defects in new-born babies. Having a partner charity helps them to focus their efforts and achieve greater impact. To ensure that their partner reflects what's important to their people, Sparks was chosen through a staff vote. The process has meant that staff are engaged with the partnership across all areas of their business. Work with Virgin Unite Virgin Unite worked with Virgin Active to decide how they should best choose a charity partner and is working closely with them during their integration with Esporta Clubs. Dom Boon, UK Head of People, Virgin Active, said: "Working with Virgin Unite gives Virgin Active the chance to channel some of our energy into projects that we know are a force for good. We take confidence in the fact that the expertise within Virgin Unite will ensure that we can create positive sustainable change in communities around the world. It is also a great feeling to get our people involved in activities beyond their normal working routines and for us to be able to support Sir Richard Branson in some of the initiatives we know he is very passionate about." Impact? From 2008 to 2010 Virgin Active's charity partner was Honeypot, a national charity that supports young carers and at-risk children in the UK. Over £130,000 was raised during this period which paid for short respite breaks for children. In 2010 Virgin Active staff volunteered 1,288 hours – or more than 7.5 weeks – of staff time. Some of the activities included hosting Christmas parties and a Summer Sports Day for children and renovating an old bike shed at a short break centre to create a new play room. Their new charity partner Sparks is now fully embraced by their business.A member of the Sparks team works with Virgin Active on a part-time basis. Thanks to this close working relationship, and massive support from staff, Virgin Active has exceeded their fundraising target in their first year of a two year partnership. What partners and staff say: Julian Hare, Senior Corporate Partnerships Manager, Sparks, said: "We are proud to have been chosen as Virgin Active's charity partner for the next two years. As a health club chain, Virgin Active is an ideal partner for Sparks. Both organisations share a common goal: to make a big impact on health. We feel there are plenty of opportunities through this partnership which will have huge impact on the life-changing research we support. We're really looking forward to working with all the staff and members of Virgin Active."

Working in a Global Environment
Are you concerned about global climate change? Do you want to foster cross-cultural understanding and collaboration? Are you committed to the "3Ps" (people, planet, profits)? Are you concerned about global public health and wellness? Our programs in Organizational Systems, Mind-Body Medicine, Psychology, and Human Science provide the skills and professional training you need or enhance those you already have to work in a global environment.
Saybrook graduates are pursuing successful and satisfying professional livelihoods in these and many other careers.
For example, Kathia Laszlo Human Science alumna and Organizational Systems faculty co-founded SyntonyQuest, an international training institute for environmental stewardship and cooperative problem solving. She attended Saybrook on a Fulbright scholarship.
"I discovered that Saybrook is very diverse. I was able to draw from psychology, organizational systems, social transformation, and create a really interdisciplinary degree which is what I really wanted. It allowed me to be in charge of my own learning without losing the guidance and expertise that the faculty provided. The mentoring model was beautiful. The scholar community I had belonged to in Mexico was the organizational learning community."
—Kathia Laszlo
Here are just a few of the types of careers our programs support if you aspire to work in a global environment:
- Consultant
- Government agency executive/administrator
- Think tank researcher
- NGO executive/administrator
- Social entrepreneur
- Social justice activist
- Community organizer
Saybrook Human Science student Gail Ervin's goal is helping global culture commit to the peaceful resolution of environmental conflict by 2020. A former president of the Environmental Council of Sacramento, she now runs her own environment and public policy mediation firm.
"We've brought federal and state agency folks into a one-day, slam dunk mediation with Chevron to hash out a habitat plan; conducted a several year process with community groups to design roadway improvements, and facilitated a state-wide AIDS consortium. Being able to talk to the professor, redesign the course to what I'm actually doing professionally, makes a huge difference" —Gail Ervin

The Joys and Challenges of Diversity: Getting the MessageJanet Ohene-Frempong, MSHow does diversity fit into low health literacy? This is the question that kicked off at "The Joys and Challenges of Diversity" presentation. Ms. Ohene-Frempong started the presentation by defining health literacy: an expanded model, health literacy is defined as "the wide range of skills, and competencies that people develop to seek out, comprehend, evaluate and use health information and concepts to make informed choices, reduce health risks and increase quality of life". Thus health literacy, per this definition, is made up of four domains: fundamental literacy, science literacy, civic literacy, and cultural literacy. From this definition, Ms. Ohene-Frempong focuses on the cultural literacy domain. "Understanding culture is an important component to providing health care services," she stated, "as it relates to communication, time orientation, pain, religious beliefs and more." However, she explained, the term culture can be a confining term. Cultural literacy tells us that we should be sensitive to people of different cultures (e.g. Latinos, African Americans, American Indians, etc) but the term diversity asks us to look beyond culture, and examine all things that make people different. For example people who are overweight, gay, old, have low education or income, physical and mental disabilities. Ms. Ohene-Frempong exclaimed that, "these are the types of differences that cause individuals to receive ineffective and uncaring care; and this is why we are discussing diversity and not just culture."
Ms. Ohene-Frempong continued stating that as health care providers, "above all we are trying to convey to our patients that we care. But many times these messages of 'I care' can be lost, even when the intentions are good." Ms. Ohene-Frempong explained that as health care professionals "just because we care, doesn't mean we're being sensitive to others differences." She concluded her discussion with a description of her personal journey as a mother of a sick child. The personal anecdote pointed to the need for compassionate care for all patients, no matter their differences. She impressed on the audience that healthcare providers need to be "interested in their patients without being judgmental; that individual difference shouldn't be tolerated, but honored if we are truly going to care for our patients." Bridging the Gap for Older Persons with Limited Health LiteracyRebecca Sudore, M.D.The elderly population is disproportionately affected by low health literacy due to chronic disease burden, high number of medications, caregiver burden, and hearing, visual, and cognitive impairments. Dr. Sudore, M.D. of UCSF, discussed how health care providers can overcome low health literacy barriers with elderly patients. She explains elderly patients with visual impairment can be assisted through the use of written materials that employ large fonts, bright contrasting colors, use of non-glossy paper (to reduce glare), and non-serif fonts. Hearing impairment can be combated by speaking slowly (but not speaking louder!), leaning in, facing the patient, and ear cupping. Additionally, simple technology such as the pocket talker has been found to be helpful during patient interactions for patients with hearing impairments. Using clear verbal health communication can lessen the burden of chronic disease and the high number of medications. By using plain language, simple instruction on how manage daily activities, simple diagrams, along with the use of the "Ask-Tell-Ask" model can improve the communication of health information with elderly patients. Dr. Sudore emphasized that the question "do you understand?" should never be asked as it places the burden of understanding on the patient, and can induce feelings of shame. Instead, "what questions do you have?" should be asked.However, when patients have reduced cognitive functions using tools such as Ask-tell-Ask model may not work. This does not mean that these tools are no longer important in these situations; but that they should be used with the patient's caregiver instead. As a health care professional it is important to remember that one should never assume the health literacy level of the caregiver. In her research, Dr. Sudore has found that alerting consent forms so that they read at a 6th grade reading level and working with patients using the "teach-to-goal" method greatly increased elderly patients understanding and decision making abilities. Through her research she has found that patients need easy to understand written and visual materials to assist in decision making. This lead her to develop an advanced directive website, PREPARE. Her research found that in order for the website to be most effective for the elderly population it must be simple, include intuitive buttons, large font, a how-to voice, videos that model behavior, voiceovers and closed captioning. She illustrated how technology can be effectively used to overcome many of the elderly patient's health literacy barriers.Attendees left the session feeling empowered and prepared to meet the specific needs of the elderly population. Finding the Right Resources to Meet Your Health Literacy NeedsJulie McKinney, MS
In addition to demonstrating the above online resources she detailed local resources; which include your local/community advocacy programs, local healthcare organizations, and local adult education programs. McKinney stressed that the most important resource available is your community. By getting to know your community and understanding the specific health literacy barriers that exist, effective changes can be made. After the presentation attendees were eager to ask McKinney for resource recommendations regarding their specific needs. McKinney spent the remainder of the session guiding individuals towards the most effective resources for their individual projects. Implementing Health Literacy in a Large Company: An Example from PharmaLaurie Myers, MBA; Carolyn McKay, Ph.D.; Margaret Loveland, M.D.; Lesa GerardFour representatives from Merck presented at the conference. Their collective presence, from a variety of departments of the company, represented one of their primary strategies, which is to achieve buy-in at every level of the company around the issue of health literacy. All four stressed that one of the most effective ways to gain the commitment of your leadership is to align key strategic objectives in your company to health literacy. For Merck this is adherence. Health literacy affects outcomes directly through its effect on adherence. They also talked about the need to educate others within their department and across other departments about health literacy. All four also stressed the important of having a voice from the legal team talking about risk at the table. Merck began to include health literacy with a very specific empirical evidence-based pilot. They were interested in interventions based on research, rather than research on the problem, which they felt has been well documented.They worked both externally and internally to get the word out throughout the company about health literacy. As a member of the IOM Health Literacy Roundtable, Caroline is motivated and inspired to get the word out throughout Merck about health literacy. Another tactic worked was to bring in an outside expert advocate, Dr. Arthur Cuthbert, formerly of HL Missouri.Internally, the bottom line, the ROI (return on investment), spoke the loudest. They included key leaders. They have begun to share health literacy stories with employees via e-mail. They noted that leadership will respond to different kinds of evidence or reasons for why a company should engage in health literacy. They mentioned several internal barriers such as encountering the fear that if they simplified language, they would insult people. There was some resistance with the communication and marketing department, around issues of expertise and lost creativity. They recommended developing a power point presentation that includes before and after examples that demonstrate the value of clear communication and an "elevator speech" paragraph that clearly aligns patient safety with health literacy. Finally, they talked about initiating pilots. They stressed that they are at the beginning of the process (several times there was mention of how recently they had been introduced to health literacy), and again said that they are a heavily regulated industry, unable to open themselves up to risk. For this reason, they chose a pilot that involved, un-branded patient education materials, and was not tied to one of the products, so they had more room to work with legal, and within regulations. They also needed to tie it into overall end-to-end development, into systems that are already in place. They are still in the primary stages of this work, and working on how to go out and test with clients, with the intended audience. They offered no other details about the pilot except in response to a question from the audience, said the materials are intended for patients directly, and are not intended to be delivered by representatives. We're just at the beginning, they stressed. One and a half years ago many at Merck had not heard of health literacy. This is a work in progress, they promised.Usability Testing on a DimeJoan Winchester, ME.d.Ms. Winchester began with a video showing someone trying to turn on a faucet. After 30 seconds, it was clear to the audience that the faucet was not user friendly-the person could not figure out how operate the faucet. The design got in the way.For written materials, the main question might be--is what I want to communicate actually communicated? Usability testing is evidence, verification, one way or the other.What and WhyUsability testing is watching people use your product to find out if it works. A good question to ask is, do you know what the purpose of this flyer is? Usability testing can be done on websites, forms, and brochures. It is done one-on-one, it can be "formal" in a special room with video, or informal and it is not a focus group or market research.
Ms. Winchester gave five steps for usability testing:
She elaborated on some of these details, including advice about writing the test to insure that everyone gets tested the same way-it needs to be friendly but scripted. If you choose to use an audiotape, then a consent form is necessary. She advised using a combination of open and closed questions, and gave examples:
In closing, Ruthig provided tips for avoiding pitfalls and emphasized the importance that every grant is unique. Funders need to know that you are in-line with who they are and what they offer. The more closely aligned you are with their goals, the better chance you have of winning that grant.IHA 2012 Health Literacy AwardsIHA, a non-profit healthcare organization and a leader in the health literacy field, received more than 80 nominations from the nation's foremost health literacy authorities and researchers. Winners were selected in the categories of Research, Innovative Programs, and Published Materials. The winners of the three 2012 IHA Health Literacy Awards are:ResearchSipSmartER: A nutrition literacy approach to reducing sugar-sweetened beveragesJamie Zoellner, Ph.D., RD, Assistant Professor, Department of Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise,Virginia TechSugar-sweetened beverages, such as soda, fruit juice, sports drinks, and sweetened teas, contain added sugar. Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages has been linked to increased risk for diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and cavities. Even with the mounting research linking sugar-sweetened beverages to poorer health, the average individual's intake of these beverages doubled from 1977 to 2002. Currently, sugar-sweetened beverages make up 10% of the total caloric intake of adults. The SIPSmartER research program developed by the Department of Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise at Virginia Tech, is a unique project targeted towards educating low health literate individuals within rural southwest Virginia about sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. The SIPSmartER program strives to create lasting health behavior change by providing participants with easy to understand instruction on the impact of sugar-sweetened beverages on health, information on how to read beverage nutritional labels, as well as how to decipher nutrition-related media. Health literacy concepts have been integrated into every aspect of the study, from development of the intervention to its implementation. The SIPSmartER program is a long-term community-based study on the reduction of consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Due to Americans' increasing consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and the adverse health consequences of consuming these beverages, increasing our understanding of how to properly communicate this risk to reduce individual's sugar-sweetened beverage consumption has widespread public health implications.Innovative ProgramsHealth Literacy e-Learning CourseSara Voit, Director of Learning; Jill Cobrin, President and CEO, Affiliates Risk Management Services, Inc. and its Center for Affiliated LearningAffiliates Risk Management Services (ARMS), Inc., provides risk and quality management services to organizations with the aim of reducing risk and improving overall health outcomes. To improve health literacy ARMS provides steps on how healthcare providers could better prepare and react to the challenges of health literacy through an online education course. The course is targeted to patient-centric professionals, such as front-line healthcare staff, clinical and non-clinical health professionals, support staff and more. The design of the course presents valuable scenarios illustrating the correlation between communication of the condition by the healthcare provider and ability of the patient to successfully understand and support long-term care. The course contains four separate videos, each targeting a risk-factor of health literacy: health center distractions, use of medical terminology, speaking to young clients, and communicating over the phone. In each video the learner is first presented with a realistic, although unsuccessful interaction between a health professional and patient, and then is shown how the situation could be handled differently with greater opportunity for understanding and successful treatment of the patient. "This course allows healthcare professionals to see themselves as a vital component of the health literacy process-it's this type of self-awareness that will help lead to more comprehensive and successful care," stated Sara Voit, Director of Learning, ARMS, Inc.
"We are thrilled to have been selected for this award," stated Jill Cobrin, President & CEO, ARMS, Inc. "Health literacy is vital to the delivery of effective and quality healthcare. Knowledgeable patients are better able to make more informed decisions regarding their healthcare, thus achieving better outcomes. As a risk management service organization, ARMS views health literacy as a vital component to the healthcare industry. As a result, ARMS created this Health Literacy e-learning course in order to teach and review, as well as to enhance clinicians' awareness and comprehension regarding health literacy."Published MaterialsFeel Your Best: Patient Education Brochures Lori Hall, RN, Health Education Consultant, Lilly USA, LLC Available in English and Spanish, the "Feel Your Best" patient brochure series by Lilly USA, LLC, provides patients with easy to read, easy to understand information about "Eating to Feel Your Best" and "Being Active to Feel Your Best." Brochures were designed for people of all of ages, races and educational levels. Using colorful pictures, direct information, simple illustrations, short bullets, quick tips and space for personalized notes, readers are inspired, directed and motivated to take action to feel their best. Lilly's Health Education department is dedicated to empowering patient care through delivering a broad portfolio of non-product-branded health resources. "By providing the foundational knowledge and skills that create an informed patient, our resources are designed to engage, educate, and empower participants to be active in the management of their health care." said Lori Hall, RN, Health Education Consultant, Lilly USA, LLC. "Like many healthcare organizations, we have been on a journey to learn as much as we can about health literacy and it became time to translate that knowledge into practice. So we put a lot of thought and consideration into how we could develop a very 'patient-centric' series of brochures that fully embrace the use of health literacy principles, yet were still engaging and visually appealing. By starting with the building blocks of good health--eating well and being active --and writing in plain, 'living room' language, the hope is these brochures will help to reduce health disparities and start to improve health communication between patients, providers and payers."

Social Media and Usability of the MessageMichelle Samplin-Salgado, MPH
What does this all mean to health literacy? A lot!! Patients know what patients want to know. It's your job to manage what they see and hear. As a healthcare provider, you need to develop timely and relevant information that creates attention, provides assessment and tells audience to take action.Even more important-you must listen. The art of listening is a powerful thing, especially for healthcare providers and organizations. Salgado challenges the audience to listen, learn, adapt and repeat. Here's how:

Hometown: Victoria, TX
Bio: Faye Edmundson has more than 30 years experience with daily and weekly newspapers, mostly in community journalism, in Texas and Atlanta. Before becoming editor of Duluth Patch, she covered Duluth city government for the daily newspaper in Gwinnett County for three years.
Faye was news editor for nearly 15 years of the Northside/Sandy Springs/Vinings Neighbor Newspapers in Atlanta. She has been an account executive and photographer for Maizie Hale Public Relations, community news editor for the Vinings Gazette, and editor and reporter for the Fayette Sun and Southside Sun.
She worked as a reporter or the Alice (TX) Echo-News and as a copy editor for the Corpus Christi (TX) Caller-Times before moving to Atlanta with her husband Ron. She earned her journalism degree from the University of Texas-Austin.
A widow, Faye moved to Gwinnett County several years ago. She lives in unincorporated Gwinnett near Duluth with her daughter Tracy, who works in Norcross, their two dogs and two cats.
Faye enjoys reading, gourmet cooking, photography, attending concerts and plays, camping, going to the beach, shopping at the mall, browsing in antique shops and finding bargains at garage sales.
Your Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
Moderate to liberal but tolerant of other viewpoints.
Are you registered with a certain party? Definitely a Democrat.
Catholic. Not overly devout but not casual either.
Local Hot-Button Issues
What do you think are the most important issues facing the community? Economic development. Local taxes.
Where do you stand on each of these issues? I support economic development as long as it is planned, located in an appropriate place and doesn't harm the environment. I also believe in shopping locally and supporting Duluth businesses to keep downtown viable.
I favor keeping local taxes low but not to the point that public safety is jeopardized and cuts in services are unreasonable and inconvenient.

Getting started with User-Mode Linux
User-Mode Linux feels like Linux because it is Linux. You'll find a hundred uses for this fast and sensible virtual Linux system
The popular and versatile User-Mode Linux (UML) [1] creates a fully operatational virtual Linux system on a Linux host. UML has many uses in the Linux world. Developers rely on UML to test their applications without putting the host system at risk. Linux users run UML to experiment with kernel versions without having to worry about a new or untested patch. System administrators use UML to test system configurations. You can even run multiple versions of UML on the same host to simulate a network. What is User-Mode Linux? User-Mode Linux is not really an emulator, nor is it an API. The best way to explain User-Mode Linux is to start with a look at the role of the Linux kernel.
