Dementia: Helping a Person Avoid Confusion
Topic Overview
People who have Reference Alzheimer's disease Opens New Window or another Reference dementia Opens New Window are sometimes easily confused and may forget where they are, what day it is, and other common facts. The following tips will help avoid confusion.
- Use familiar objects, such as a favorite chair or photographs, to help the person recognize where he or she is.
- Label often-used rooms, such as the bathroom, and objects.
- Provide visual cues to time and place, such as calendars, clocks, and bulletin boards.
- Keep regular routines for daily activities such as meals, baths, and hobbies.
- Focus on consistency. Keep furniture, lamps, pictures, and other objects in the same place. This may be less confusing for the person.
- Use color and contrasts. Soothing colors can create a calming effect.
- Keep floor surfaces uncomplicated. Avoid checkerboard and other patterns when possible.
- Avoid using mirrors for decorating. The person may become anxious if he or she does not recognize his or her own reflection.

Find the Right Contact Lenses for You
Contact lenses have come a long way and offer some exciting options. You can bat a pair of baby blues one day, then flash golden tiger eyes the next. You can even toss disposable lenses in the trash each night.
For people with vision problems, contacts remain an effective, almost invisible tool. The thin plastic lenses fit over your cornea -- the clear, front part of your eye -- to correct vision problems including nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. You can wear contacts even if you have presbyopia and need bifocals.
Natural Vision Correction: Does It Work?
Exercising your body makes it stronger. So can exercising your eyes make your vision stronger, too? Unfortunately, there is no evidence that eye exercises improve vision. Your need for glasses is based on the shape of your eye, the size of your pupil, and the ability to shift focus, which declines as we age. Still, like many alternative remedies, natural vision correction has supporters among some practitioners of holistic medicine and their patients. If you are looking into natural vision correction,...
Read the Natural Vision Correction: Does It Work? article > >
Talk with your eye doctor about the best type of lenses for you, and get your regular eye exams so you not only keep your eyes healthy, but also keep your contact prescription up-to-date.
Soft Contact Lenses
Soft contacts are made of a type of plastic combined with water. Water lets oxygen pass through the contact lens to your cornea, which increases comfort, reduces dry eyes, and helps keep your cornea healthy. If your cornea doesn't get enough oxygen, it may swell, get cloudy, and lead to blurred vision or problems that are more serious.
Benefits. Many soft lenses are disposable, so you can throw them away after using them for a short time. Having a fresh pair of soft contacts means less chance of infection, less cleaning, and more comfort.
Some soft lenses are not disposable. You wear the same pair for about a year, cleaning them each night. These are typically more "custom" designed contact lenses.
Compared to rigid gas-permeables, the other main type of contacts, soft lenses are typically more comfortable when you first insert them into your eyes.
As a bonus, many soft lenses provide UV protection.
Disadvantages. Soft contacts more easily absorb pollutants than both hard and rigid gas-permeable lenses. They soak up all kinds of things that can irritate your eyes -- smoke and sprays in the air and lotion or soap on your hands.
Soft contact lenses are also more fragile and rip or tear more easily than hard or gas-permeable lenses.
Varieties. New types of soft lenses continue to come to market as new technologies develop.
- Daily disposables are soft contacts that you wear only for one day and then throw away, which means you don't have to clean them regularly or risk dry eye and irritation from contact solutions. If you have allergies, daily disposables may be the right choice for you.
- Silicone-based materials create an extremely breathable contact lens, meaning oxygen can pass through your lens to your cornea. This material also keeps deposits from building up, so these lenses cause less irritation from dry eyes. Some silicone contacts allow extended wear -- you can wear these lenses for up to 30 days and sleep in them for 30. However, your cornea gets less oxygen when you sleep wearing your contacts. To prevent problems, follow directions on the lenses, and see your eye doctor for regular checkups. Silicone lenses are not for everyone so talk with your eye care professional if you're interested in them.

Canastota boys basketball pulls away in third quarter to beat Herkimer
HERKIMER – Canastota's boys basketball team opened up a five-point lead at halftime and continued to extend it throughout the second half in a 53-36 victory over Herkimer Wednesday.
The Raiders struggled early in the first half with Herkimer's tough match-up zone but still led 20-14 at halftime. Canastota quickly got its offense on track in the third quarter. Jon Halsey and Elijah Motley began to penetrate the zone while steals Motley and Matt Russitano resulted in six fast-break points. The visitors stretched the lead to 11 at the end of the third quarter and a pair of 3-pointers by Anthony Sicilia in the fourth quarter put the game away. Halsey and Zack Babcock worked the clock on offense for the Raiders to prevent any potential Magicians' comeback.
Sicilia made five 3-pointers and scored 19 points to lead the Raiders.
Canastota: Zack Babcock 6, Jonathan Halsey 9, Elijah Motley 4, Steve Olden 4, Matt Russitano 8, Anthony Sicilia 19, Joe Vaccaro 2.
Herkimer: Mike Dobek 1, Joe McKinney 2, Mitchell Scherer 5, Adam Kirkpatrick 7, Malik Briggs 3, Demetrius Brown 2, Adrian Viscomi 15, Dan Graziadei 1.

The responsibilities and opportunities for nurses continue to grow in scope and complexity. The next generation of nursing leaders will be called upon to deliver patient-centered care as members of an interdisciplinary team, emphasizing evidence-based practice, quality improvement and informatics.
Growth and change in the field indicates a strong need for doctoral-level training for advanced practice nurses. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) is an emerging field of study approved by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) in 2004. The AACN has issued a position statement advocating that advanced practice nurses evolve to the D.N.P. level by 2015.
Program OverviewRobert Morris University's D.N.P. degree program is clinically oriented, preparing graduates to employ clinical reasoning at the highest level of nursing practice to plan and implement patient care. Nurses completing the program will have a strong practice-oriented preparation with the ability to work within teams of health professionals, care for diverse populations, and lead other health care providers in providing safe, high-quality health care.
RMU's D.N.P. curriculum emphasizes teamwork and team building among health care practitioners, including physicians, social workers, pharmacists and others. In designing the program, RMU incorporated all five of the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) recommendations regarding the future of health professions education: patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement and better use of informatics.
For advanced practice nurses who already have a master's degree, the D.N.P. Completion Program combines an appealing format with specially targeted content to provide the perfect extension of knowledge and abilities. The coursework moves students to the next level of their careers, incorporating a broader knowledge of health care in today's complex market.
Program OptionsTwo program options are offered:DNP Completion Program and Curriculum - For advanced practice nurses with master's degreesB.S.N. to D.N.P. Program and Curriculum - For registered nurses with bachelor's degrees interested in nurse practitioner preparation
Program ObjectivesThe objectives of the D.N.P. program are to prepare advanced practice nurses who:
Program Director
Judy Kaufmann, Dr.P.H., CRNP, joined RMU in June 2007 as the D.N.P. program director after teaching at the University of Pittsburgh since 1995. As director, she oversees recruitment, administration and curriculum development, and also teaches. She has practiced as a nurse practitioner across the lifespan, with specialized experience in women's health, orthopedics and internal medicine. She holds a doctorate in public health from the University of Pittsburgh.
Career Outlook
With the projected need for additional health care providers, nurses with advanced practice degrees will be in high demand. Projections indicate a strong future demand for nurse practitioners for several reasons. First, there is a shortage of nurse practitioners both nationally and in Pennsylvania. Second, advanced practice nurses help to meet the health care needs of our populations. Third, advanced practice nurses are important members of existing and emerging health care teams.
Salary Information
Earning the D.N.P. can translate into higher salaries for nurse practitioners. According to the 2005 National Salary Survey of Nurse Practitioners, nurse practitioners with doctoral degrees earned an average annual salary of $81,440 - about $6,500 more than master's-prepared nurse practitioners ($74,777).
Program Location
Offered in Moon Township only.

"We woke up this morning thinking we had more games, and we were looking for somebody to play thinking there was still somebody left," said Shorter coach Al Thomas with a laugh when reached by phone Thursday afternoon. "It's kind of a weird feeling."
Shorter won its first-ever softball championship on Wednesday when the Lady Hawks defeated Oklahoma City in a 1-0 thriller that lasted nine innings.
Coming into the season the Lady Hawks weren't considered by many to be one of the teams to compete for the national championship after losing seven starters from last year's team. But the Lady Hawks simply wouldn't be denied.
"Nobody gave a chance to make a run for the title because of all the talent we lost. Instead of losing three players, we had lost seven, and this team just rallied around those loses and just took it upon themselves to fill the gap," said Thomas.
"That's where that family part came into play. We started playing for each other and not playing for ourselves and it was just history written."
When the pressure is as high as it was during Wednesday's game, some teams crumble — but not the Lady Hawks.
Shorter played like it was it was just another game and played as they had all season, like a family.
"That's the way those games are; when you get to that point one little bobble, one missed sign, one base running blunder can cost you the national championship," added Thomas. "(But) they didn't let the pressure get to them, and we work real hard at being a family.
"What goes with that is if we have a player make a mistake, our kids pick each other up and we don't point fingers," he said.
"I try (to) coach that way, and I think that relaxes them to know that they can play relaxed instead of playing tense."
In the bottom of the ninth, Broome stepped to plate and legged out a triple.
"She should have had a double, but she's the fastest on our team, and when she hit it she never broke her stride," said Thomas. "She took third when most people when have stopped at second."
After an intentional walk to Jackie Castaneda, Emily Clements stepped up with a chance to play the hero, and that's exactly what she did. She connected for a single to win it.
"I really thought they were going to walk Clements to load the bases," added Thomas. "They choose to pitch to her, and I told her that the pitcher had gotten in a pattern of throwing a screwball in on her hands.
"So I told her to lay off the screwball and watch for the curveball and take it to right, and that's exactly what happened. The pitcher came in with the screwball, then came with the curveball and Clements took it to right field and the game was over."

Coleman Catholic graduate Conor Maisch making mark at Utica College
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Sharpshooting from the perimeter has always been the way for Kingston native Conor Maisch.
Maisch, a junior forward on the Utica College men's basketball team, has become one of the main scoring threats as the Pioneers wind up their regular season.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound sniper recently received national recognition as his 52.4 percent success rate on 3-point field goals ranked him second in the country among NCAA Division III players.
"I'm not doing anything other than playing the way I want to," Maisch said. "Since I've gotten here, I'm in my game more and I owe a lot to my teammates who always seem to find me when I'm open."
A 2009 graduate of John A. Coleman Catholic High, Maisch played part of the 2010 season at Ulster County Community College, then moved onto Hudson Valley in Troy where he was part of a Vikings team that went 20-10 in 2011.
"I had a really good year at Hudson Valley," Maisch said. "I was averaging like 14 points and seven rebounds a game, but it was disappointing because we lost in the first round of the (Region 3) tournament."
Maisch said he was recruited by a number of Division III schools, but settled on Utica for athletic and academic reasons.
"They had my major (accounting) and I really liked the players and the coaches when I met them," Maisch said. "I felt comfortable and right at home."
Utica coach Chris Connolly said he was glad to add a player with shooting credentials like Maisch to the team.
"Conor has turned out to be exactly what we expected of him," Connolly said. "He is a guy who can flat out shoot the ball. We have another player on our roster (senior Matt Baldwin) who can shoot 3's, and with Conor, we've got a two-headed monster that gives our opponents fits. Continued...
"For a guy his size, Conor is a great ball handler, too."
Connolly said he has seen a maturation in Maisch's game since making the jump from junior college to a four-year school.
"He'd be the first to tell you players are faster, stronger and more skilled," Connolly said. "I'd say in the last month or so, we've been playing the best ball of the season and Conor is a big reason for our success.
"He just goes out and plays the game."
Maisch has started all 23 games this year for the 10-13 Pioneers.
He is averaging 16.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 3.32 3-point field goals per game (sixth in the nation).
Maisch's top scoring effort came in a win over Alfred where he collected 26 points, including seven 3-point field goals.
He has scored 20 or more points nine times this season and most recently, set the school's single-season 3-point field goal record with 76.
"Individual stats and records are nice, but it's all about the team winning," Maisch said. "Matt (Baldwin) and I look out for each other and it's actually his record that I broke.
"We're really focusing on getting two more wins so we can get into the (Empire 8) conference tournament." Continued...
The Pioneers have a conference record of 6-6 with games remaining this week at Ithaca and Elmira.
Utica likely needs both games to advance.
"We're focused on winning out," Maisch said. "People aren't going to want to see us in the tournament."
Connolly agreed that Maisch and the rest of the team is prepped for its next challenge.
"We're definitely playing our best and if Conor goes out and hits one 3, then more are going to follow," Connolly said. "He understands how to adjust and knows when to take the 3 and when to play under the basket."
Connolly said he is confident that Maisch will provide the leadership needed next year as a senior.
"He definitely has what it takes and the younger guys look to him already," Connolly said. "He's got the tools and he knows what to do on the court."

High Triglycerides
What are triglycerides?
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. Your body uses them for energy.
You need some triglycerides for good health. But high triglycerides might raise your risk of heart disease and may be a sign of Reference metabolic syndrome Opens New Window.
Metabolic syndrome is the combination of high blood pressure, high blood sugar, too much fat around the waist, low HDL ("good") cholesterol, and high triglycerides. Metabolic syndrome increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
A blood test that measures your Reference cholesterol Opens New Window also measures your triglycerides. For a general idea about your triglycerides level, compare your test results to the following:Reference 1
- Normal is less than 150.
- Borderline-high is 150 to 199.
- High is 200 to 499.
- Very high is 500 or higher.
What causes high triglycerides?
High triglycerides are usually caused by other conditions, such as:
- Obesity.
- Poorly controlled Reference diabetes Opens New Window.
- An underactive thyroid (Reference hypothyroidism Opens New Window).
- Kidney disease.
- Regularly eating more calories than you burn.
- Drinking a lot of alcohol.
Certain medicines may also raise triglycerides. These medicines include:
- Tamoxifen.
- Steroids.
- Reference Beta-blockers Opens New Window.
- Reference Diuretics Opens New Window.
- Reference Estrogen Opens New Window.
- Birth control pills.
In a few cases, high triglycerides also can run in families.
What are the symptoms?
High triglycerides usually don't cause symptoms.
But if your high triglycerides are caused by a genetic condition, you may see fatty deposits under your skin. These are called xanthomas (say "zan-THOH-muhs").
How can you lower your high triglycerides?
You can make diet and lifestyle changes to help lower your levels.
- Lose weight and stay at a healthy weight.
- Limit fats and sugars in your diet.
- Be more active.

4. | Inch | ||
The unit that a penis is measured in. My penis is an inch.
1. | inch | ||
a unit of currency that describes the thickness of a stack of one-hundred dollar bills used as payment for services rendered by very good prostitutes; coined in the film The World Is Not Enough Zukovsky: Bull, give them an inch.
Bull gives each girl an inch-thick stack of cash, and the three of them start to leave. Zukovsky: And make sure they lose it in this casino, huh? |
2. | Inch | ||
A unit of measurement, often exaggerated by men accross the world. Theres a ten incher in my trousers..
3. | Inch | ||
Antiquated measurement unit, redefined in the 20th century to be exactly 25.4 millimetres in size. Not of much use in the modern age is it lacks precision, quality and beauty. Much better to use millimetres or centimetres instead. Get rid of inches and give us cm instead
5. | inch | ||
The small strech of skin between the asshold and the balls/vagina. Noun: 1. He wanted me to give him a rim job, but his asshole was a little nasty. So I licked his inch instead. 2. I tried to jump that fence between ours' and the Smiths yard, but I slipped on the post and smacked my inch.
3. I don't know how I got a streak of crap in that area of my underwear -- under my balls. When am I going to learn to wipe my ass from the back... and not from my butt hole up my inch. |
6. | inch | ||
A rating system for the male penis.
10+ inches = the elite 8 - 9 inches = the average user 6 - 7 = disdavantages 5- = tragic the inch has a very powerful affect on a mans confidence the guy had a 5 inch cock so we threw him out of the sex club and went around the city making poster saying "timothy has a very small penis"
timothy later killed himself by hacking off his knob |

"New technology has allowed the Library to greatly expand access to its collections," said Paul LeClerc, President of The New York Public Library. "Now, for the first time, library users are able to order copies of specific items from our vast public domain collections that are useful to them. Additionally the program creates a digital legacy for future users of the same item and a revenue stream to support our operations. We are very pleased to participate in a program that is so beneficial to everyone involved."
Using existing information from NYPL's catalog records, Kirtas will make the library's public domain books available for sale through its retail site before they are ever digitized.

What's On
Abigail's Party
A pitch perfect production. SUNDAY EXPRESS
Direct from a triumphant West End run, this is Lindsay Posner's acclaimed revival of one of the most popular plays ever written.
By Mike Leigh. Directed by Lindsay Posner.
Starring Hannah Waterman (EastEnders) & Martin Marquez (Hotel Babylon).
Donna Summer is playing on the stereo. Dishes of cheese and pineapple are on the coffee table - the social get-together from hell is about to begin.
Beverly, and estate agent husband Laurence, have invited round new neighbours, Tony and Ange, and nervous divorcee Sue. As Beverly plies the guests with alcohol, Demis Roussos and nibbles, this horribly compelling evening descends into drunkenness and debauchery.
Combining comedy, drama and tragedy, Mike Leigh's iconic comedy became an instant classic when it first appeared as a BBC Play For Today in 1977.
It is a ruthlessly accurate observation of the pretensions of suburbia, a world obsessed with class and taste and rules over by the monstrous Beverly!

By Indrias Getachew
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, 1 August 2012 – Adanech* rushed to the Saris Health Centre in Addis Ababa when her labour pains started.
17 July 2012: UNICEF correspondent Chris Niles reports on a programme that's putting an end to Mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Ethiopia. Watch in RealPlayer |
Like every mother in the world, she hoped to deliver a healthy baby. But Adanech is HIV positive, and without appropriate care, she could pass on the virus to her baby.
"I want my child to be free [of HIV]," said she said. "I don't want my child to share my fate. That's what I wish for."
Because of an effective mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programme at the health centre, supported by UNICEF and its partners, Adanech has an excellent chance of having her wish come true.
Supporting mothers living with HIV
Rahel Wondafrash, the nurse in the delivery room, handed Adanech a dose of prophylactic medicine. This is part of a regimen of medicines for mothers and babies to help prevent HIV transmission.
© UNICEF Ethiopia/2012/Getachew |
Fikirte, 23, who is HIV positive, receives treatment and counselling as part of the PMTCT programme at the the Saris Health Center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. |
Adanech's baby will remain on medication while being breastfed until Adanech is advised to stop administering it. These interventions, all free of charge, should ensure her baby does not contract HIV from her.
In Ethiopia only 24 per cent of pregnant women who are eligible for HIV services are currently receiving them. Adanech is one of the lucky ones.
In addition to testing for HIV during antenatal check-ups and providing prophylaxis, the health centre also has a 'mother-to-mother support group' that provides counselling services for mothers discovering their status. The group also helps guide them through their pregnancy, delivery and follow-up to ensure the best outcome for both mother and child.
Making sure that these women deliver at a health facility is an important part of the group's activities. Less than 10 per cent of Ethiopian women give birth in a health facility, which is a contributing factor to the country's high maternal mortality ratio. According to the 2011 Demographic and Health survey, that number stands at 676 per 100,000 live births.
Learning to cope with the disease
Being told that she was HIV-positive was that last thing Fikirte*, a 23-year-old going through her first pregnancy, expected when she went to the health centre for her first antenatal check-up.
"I came for a routine pregnancy check-up, then following the advice that I received, I got tested for HIV," she said. "I was told that I was positive. When I was informed I got very upset."
The mother-to-mother support group helped her cope.
© UNICEF Ethiopia/2012/Getachew |
Lemlem, an HIV-positive mother, receives counselling at the Saris Health Center, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Her 18 month old son was born free of the virus. |
"When she comes to our room, there are other mothers that have gone through the same thing," said Emebet Tamrat, a mentor mother with the support group.
"Now I have received a lot of counselling," said Fikirte. "I have seen people younger than me who are HIV-positive, children who are taking their medication and able to live their lives. I saw that they are even going to school, and that convinced me, so I have now started taking medication."
'Free from HIV'
UNICEF is supporting the Government of Ethiopia in the development and implementation of the Accelerated Prevention of Mother-to-child Transmission Site Expansion Plan in 2012 as well as in drafting the Plan for Elimination of Mother To Child Transmission of HIV and Congenital Syphilis.
UNICEF and partners are also supporting the training of 2,000 nurses and midwives across the country on emergency obstetric and newborn care integrated with PMTCT.
Lemlem*, another HIV-positive mother, arrived to the Saris Health Centre with her 18-month-old son for his final HIV test. Lemlem gave birth at the centre after going through the PMTCT programme. When the test results came in, Lemlem was ecstatic. After 20 months of anticipation, Lemlem received confirmation that her son does not have the disease.
"What I want is to work and raise my child, educate him and for him to become a doctor who will take care of people like me with respect – for him to be of service to his country and to support me," said Lemlem. "His being free from HIV has given my life meaning."

It'a a place I've often been in my youth because I grew up at Hausen am Albis. Many years ago, at this place, moss has been taken out as fuel. Mosses are protected by law in Switzerland. This one has a super regional importance. Image taken by Markus Leutwyler

61.3 x 104.1 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mr. Peter Dobush
Painting, Canadian Historical (1800-1910)
Born in what is today part of Russia, Jacobi came to Canada from Berlin in 1860 and quickly established himself as a landscape painter. He was elected President of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1890. Jacobi was impressed with the raw qualities of the uninhabited Canadian landscape, and the majority of his paintings reflect idealized images of nature's unleashed power through waterfalls and river rapids. This work, likely depicting the Gatineau hills in Quebec, may have been painted from a photograph as it exhibits detailed clarity in the centre with blurring at the edges, typical characteristics of nineteenth-century photographs.

Just arrived in from Melbourne in transit to Detroit and my bro swung by airport and took me to intelligentsia for quick fuel up! Flat white and macchiato later and feeling the jet lag disappear already. I love this place! There's a reason it's so many Aussies fav place to grab a cup of joe!
Very good coffee and quite a cool place. Expect a big line up and a healthy spoonful of pretentious with your coffee...
What more can you ask for. Four (4) Synesso twins head brew units. One (1) 4 brewhead GS2. And so many grinders that I can't count them all. Here is a place where you can enjoy their game changing BlackCat espresso, and then compare it with a single origin expresso. There are many pour... Read more

An absolute must visit. The whole experience is awesome. The venue sets the scene for a brilliant coffee and the in the cup result does not disappoint. The coffee menu alone is a highlight.
Very cool cafe in Abbot Kinney Blvd in Santa Monica...
I went 4 days in a row, all the coffees were good, although quite inconsistent from barista to barista. One of those coffee's was amazing, so I think my biggest frustration was knowing how good it "could" taste, and not having... Read more

1 Espresso, 1 Cappuccino
To think the US doesn't have coffee to Australian standards is very very wrong, It may be a rare occurance but its very possible to find great coffee and this is where.
Absolutely delicious!!!
So glad I found this place on my stop over in L.A.
I knew of Intelligentsia in... Read more

Wow. This is a cafe you can't stop talking about. I read the reviews before I went and thought they may have been a bit too exaggerated. But no, the cafe is everything people have said and more.
The line up took about 5 minutes, and it seemed we got in just in time, as this place gets busy.... Read more

Intelligentsia sets the standard for American espresso and this place is a coffee snob's fantasy. All the baristas are excellent. I was particularly impressed by M'lissa, Nicely and Dan. It's best to go there early in the morning or in the late afternoon for a lovely affogato. The lines can be... Read more
Mindblowing coffee experience in the US. Struggled to find this place and it was worth it. Great set up, baristas happy to have a chat and uber cool. Best coffee
I nearly drowned in Hipsters, but the coffee was perfect. Great Burundi pour-over and Rwandan macchiato. Constantly busy, industrial vibe.
the week i was in LA i would end up here everyday. the coffee, normally i had espresso, perfect each time. the one time i had a pastry was also very nice. a must visit
AMAZING. Wonderful helpful staff. Awesome interior. What a cool space! Great coffee. Whole experience.... Tops!!! Best so far on our whirl wind US spro tour ;-)
One of my favorite cafes!!

Brilliant concept. This place is a must visit for every coffee lover. It is great as the customer to have the barista talk you though the preparation of your drinks. Exceptional latte art.
Intelligentisia Venice Coffeebar is amazing!! What a great concept. To have multiple baristas each on their own 2 group Synesso with Mazzer grinders & tamp area that each barista can customise to their height preference by hydraulic lifting benches! From the front this store is very subtle and... Read more

DAVID MELTZER had been working for the American Red Cross just a few weeks in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina made landfall near New Orleans. As the new head of the international services department, Meltzer technically wasn't responsible for disasters on the domestic front. But the storm's level of devastation called for an "all-hands-on-deck" response, says Meltzer. "It was the proverbial baptism by fire," or in this case, by water.
Now Meltzer is replacing outgoing Red Cross general counsel MARY ELCANO, who retired at the end of 2012.
As Meltzer takes the helm at the organization's legal department, the Red Cross is playing a prominent role in the recovery from another domestic disaster, Superstorm Sandy. "Sandy is fortunately in some ways less involved than Katrina," says the new GC, "but it covers a far greater geographic area. It requires a 10-state response."
As head of international services, Meltzer has overseen the organization's global disease prevention efforts, as well as the organization's Haiti Assistance Program. He won't be letting go of those duties just because he's becoming general counsel. "My passion's always been for the international work," says Meltzer, "even as a kid." Meltzer earned a B.A. in international relations from the University of Pennsylvania. After graduating from George Washington University School of Law, he worked for Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon and for Barnett & Alagia, both in Washington, D.C. (Mudge Rose was dissolved in 1995.)
Meltzer went in-house more than 20 years ago for Intelsat General Corp., then an intergovernmental organization responsible for spreading satellite communications throughout the world. Over the next 16 years, he led Intelsat's procurement department, navigated its privatization, and ultimately became its general counsel.
Having a wide range of responsibilities is what most attracted Meltzer to his latest position. "One of the things that I've always liked about my jobs is diversity," says Meltzer. As the Red Cross GC, he says, "I'll have one foot in business and one foot in the law."
Meltzer will, however, have to scale back some of his international work. Last year he traveled 100 days, a number that will shrink in 2013.
He will have plenty to keep him busy stateside. In addition to its high-profile disaster relief work, the organization also produces about 40 percent of the nation's blood supply through its donation program. About two-thirds of the Red Cross's work is associated with biomedical servicesthe collection and sale of blood products. "That is an activity that's regulated by the Food and Drug Administration," says Meltzer, noting that a good portion of his attention as GC will be directed toward the FDA.
Outside of the biomedical portfolio, Meltzer will oversee legal matters related to employment, licensing, finance, and commercial contracts for the $3 billion enterprise and its 30,000 employees. Meltzer will also be called upon to head up the Office of Investigations, Compliance and Ethics, tasked with ensuring that all employees, clients, and beneficiaries are properly using donor funds.
How does an organization that's so heavily dependent on donors continue to be effective in a straitened economy? "By making sure that there's quality in what we do, that we don't jeopardize the trust that the public has for us," says Meltzer. "Even in down economies, the public has great trust in the Red Cross."

Having qualified as a diagnostic radiographer over 30 years ago, I have worked in both public hospitals and private practices in NSW. My particular clinical expertise has spanned computed tomography and accident and emergency imaging. I left full-time clinical practice to pursue an academic career at the University of Newcastle in 1989 and was Discipline Head of Medical Radiation Science (MRS) from 1997 to 2001. In 2003 I relocated to Tamworth with the advent of the University Department of Rural Health - Northern NSW, where I am currently Associate Professor and Deputy Director (UDRH). From the beginning of 2012, my position is based in Taree.
My research pursuits over the years have included radiation dosimetry, reducing patient anxiety in MRI, and low back pain rehabilitation studies, as well as educational and rural health research. In 1996 I completed a Master of Science degree by research in 'Radiation Dose in Computed Tomography of the Head with Reference to Scanning Protocol' and in 2006 completed a PhD in 'Remote X-ray Operator Radiography: A Case Study in Interprofessional Rural Clinical Practice'. Since 2000, I have had over 35 peer-reviewed papers published in various national and international journals. My current research focuses on rural health workforce issues, with particular interest in the development of new models of care that incorporate interprofessional education and practice.
I have a strong interest in rural and remote health care, especially as it relates to the delivery of medical imaging services. Since 1993, I have coordinated the NSW Remote X-ray Operators Licensing Course and I have maintained an interest in this field on a national level.
