The puns on Grimm and grim are just too easy.
Once upon a time there was a stubborn child who never did what his mother told him to do. The dear Lord, therefore, did not look kindly upon him and let him become sick.
No doctor could cure him, and in a short time, he lay on his deathbed.
After he was lowered into his grave and was covered over with earth, one of his little arms suddenly emerged and reached up into the air. They pushed it back down and covered the earth with fresh earth, but that did not help. The little arm kept popping out.
So the child's mother had to go to the grave herself and smack the little arm with a switch. After she had done that, the arm withdrew, and then, for the first time, the child had peace beneath the earth.
from The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm, Jack Zipes, translator, 1987
Sometimes the title of this particular little tale is translated as the "willful" child. I realize that willful is basically the same obstinate child, but I think the Murphy poem might be the willful rather than just the stubborn child.
Murphy is not the first to try this self-imposed writing prompt of starting with a Grimm fairy tale. One popular anthology, The Poets' Grimm: 20th Century Poems from Grimm Fairy Tales, is an entire collection of these poems. The poets use the themes, motifs, and characters from Grimm. (poets include Anne Sexton, Carol Ann Duffy, Lucille Clifton, Galway Kinnell, Denise Duhamel, Randall Jarrell, Jane Yolen and Allen Tate. (Here is the table of contents)
"I had a deprived childhood in that I never read a fairy tale till I was in my late 30's, and when I did, I fell in love with the surreal, violent and familiar families portrayed by the Brothers Grimm. This was not Disney. This was Cinderella's evil stepsisters lopping off their heels to squeeze their fat feet into that impossibly tight glass slipper. Perverse entertainment till I came across "The Stubborn Child," perhaps the shortest Grimm tale. "Damn," I thought. "That's my childhood!" And it was, so I proceeded to write 40 or 50 drafts trying to get it right. Somewhere in this frenzy, I realized my own stubborn child was asleep in the next room, and that's when the poem found its ending and its shape, the transformation of the speaker from abused child to wounded father, trying, perhaps too hard, not to repeat the mistakes made on him.
Many stubborn children of all ages inhabit my book Stubborn Child as the poems branch away from my childhood and adolescence to the students who taught me for 30 years in Atlantic City, to other stubborn children, friends and family, who ghost the adult years of my life."

Experiencing Journey to Mt. Kailash
December 30, 2010
Trip to Mansarovar and Mt Kailash was on our mind for last several years. This year, all stars were in line and we were able to make this trip with a great success. We were lucky that we had very good company of fellow Yatris for this trip. We were also lucky regarding selection of Himalayan Glacier Trekking Company. They did a fabulous job managing our trip and Lina Patel did a great job organizing our group.
Our trip began in Kathmandu. Kathmandu valley has three major cities. Kathmandu Bhaktapur and Patan. They all have very beautiful temples and durbar square. Great Stupa at Budhnath is worth mentioning. We had a chance to do Puja at holy temple of Pashupatinath .
It took us about 5 days to reach Mansarovar. This was a very difficult journey due to poor road condition and numerous land slides. Walking over landslides, some of them active land slide and traveling in trucks between land slides was in itself experience of a life time. We think Mansarovar is really out of this world. It is difficult to describe the beauty. It is surrounded by snow covered peaks. You can see Mt Kailash clearly from here. We had very quick bath (dubki) in freezing water of Mansarovar. Staying in tents at the edge of water had its own charm.
Next we started Mt Kailash Parikrama..In Buddhist religion also this is considered very important. They call it Cora. We were lucky enough to be able to walk about 32 miles in 3 days. Second day of Parikrama is the most difficult part. We started about 6AM and reached Dolma La Pass at 19500 ft around noon. We think being so close to Mt Kailash is worth all the hardships of this journey. Immediately after Dolma La Pass beautiful Gauri Kund is visible. Sheer ruggedness of this area is amazing. Going down from Dolma La Pass we walked through falling snow initially and rain later. We were very happy to see our SUVs at the end of our 3 days grueling journey.
This has been an experience of a lifetime. We were lucky that we were able to complete this journey. We met another group of Yatris on our way, who had to turn back from middle of Parikrama due to poor weather condition. For us this was a Pilgrimage and a trekking adventure, which we are very glad that we undertook.

Precaution to avoid altitude at Kailash Mansarovar
June 23, 2009
The famous Hindu pilgrimage site- Mansarovar Lake in Kailash lies at 4,556 meter (14947.5 ft) above sea level and is located in Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Substantial number of pilgrims from India and other nationals visit there via Nepal route and prolonged high altitude journey via Tibet. From that perspective, Kathmandu has been established as a gateway to Mansarovar-Kailash area. Majority of the travelers are oriented about the arduous journey that they have to pass through, but few of them face sheer difficulty due to their age, health and acclimatization problem.
Highest place to cross while circumambulating Kailash Mountain is Drolma La Pass which is 5,636m. Since people are prone to altitude sickness above 3000 m, it's necessary to take precaution to avoid unfateful event while travelling. It has been reported that the death of six Indian pilgrims in Kailash Mansarovar recently in Tibet is clearly due to altitude sickness, not because of starvation. In the past, many people died in this area because of the altitude reason, more than with any other causes.
Major entry points of Kailash Mansarovar are Kodari and Hilsa in Nepalese side. However, Kodari is the only entry point that has been linked with Kailash by motorable road. Distance between Kodari and Kailash is approximately 800 km and it takes minimum five days to reach there from Kodari.
Acclimation is considered as the best and most effective precaution to avoid such sad situation. Apparently traveling to Kailash from Nepal side has become popular due to its natural landscape which is suitable for gradual acclimatization. Therefore, it is highly recommended to spend a few days in Nepalese pilgrimage sites like Muktinath and Gosaikunda situated in higher altitude before proceeding to Kailash in Tibet.

Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in.Michael Corleone could easily have been talking about this season's Texas Rangers.In Godfather III, he was talking about family "business." For manager Ron Washington and the Rangers, the script has been more like How the West Was Lost, Part II.Sometime this week, maybe as soon as today, the Oakland Athletics will clinch their second consecutive AL West title. How they are doing it remains — to me, at least — a lingering head-scratcher. I refuse to believe it has anything to do with Moneyball or Josh Donaldson's cockatoo haircut. Whatever it is, the Rangers have been left to fight for the American League scraps. And the ride has been stomach-churning. One day Elvis Andrus is bunting. The next day he's hitting a game-turning home run. One day Adam Rosales is with the A's, then with the Rangers, then with the A's. The next day he's back here again, playing the role of Wash's Swiss army knife. One day Matt Garza can't beat the White Sox. On Saturday night, he went eight innings and helped beat the Kansas City Royals 3-1.Just when you think you're out, the Rangers pull you back in.Can they hold on? Should they even bother, given the October odds that await them?Who'll step up and be the heroes? Who will take the blame?We should have seen this coming, of course. Instead, fans cackled and booed and bid Josh Hamilton goodbye. Some of us looked at the original contract that the Boston Red Sox gave Mike Napoli — three years, $39 million — and we wished him well. Add Michael Young's departure to the exodus, and the Rangers lineup suddenly had 1,704 plate appearances, 75 home runs and 251 runs batted in to replace."I like our team," general manager Jon Daniels said, again and again, as he vainly attempted to plug the holes in the lineup. Somebody — me, unfortunately — even wrote in this newspaper, "If Lance Berkman is healthy enough to run to first base — and occasionally to second — the Texas Rangers just paid their way back into the pennant race."But Berkman, at age 37, couldn't stay healthy, as it turned out. Fat Elvis has left the building."I like our team," Daniels said again. I don't, I've finally decided. Too many streaky hitters. Too many undisciplined at-bats. Too many guys who can't tell the difference between aggressive and reckless base running.They were like that even before Nelson Cruz was suspended. We're just noticing it more often now. In a lot of ways, therefore, it's a credit to Washington that the Rangers spent 95 days in first place this season. But to suggest that he did it in spite of GM Daniels is misconstruing the team effort that this year's second-place finish was. Over the Internet the other night I playfully asked for nominees for the role of Most Disappointing Ranger. Seven different players received votes, a damning result in itself.Garza got a few votes. Other responders showed no sympathy for Berkman's injuries. Ian Kinsler drew his customary legion of detractors.But in a close vote for most disappointing, first baseman Mitch Moreland nudged out outfielder David Murphy. Poor Murph. He is one of the finest people ever to put on a Rangers uniform, but he faces an uncertain baseball future after his struggles this season. In a season of ups and downs — mostly downs — Moreland, 28, is also at a career crossroads. The Rangers simply must get more production from the first base position. Moreland, don't forget, was the guy the organization chose to play first base over Napoli and Chris Davis.There is still time, the Rangers will tell you, to salvage the season. This week's homestand could end with a berth in the wild-card round, and then anything is possible.Sure it is. But I think I can see what's coming.

Once tikkun olam was an obscure mystical idea known only to Kabbalists, now it's the official culture of American Jewry.
In a White House proclamation announcing Jewish Heritage Month this month, Barack Obama saluted Jewish Americans who "today… carry on their culture's tradition of tikkun olam - 'to repair the world' - through good deeds and service".
He signed it "in the year" 2010 rather than the usual formula, "in the year of our Lord".
US Special envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell has arrived in Israel ready to start new indirect peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
Israeli media have reported that the talks are gearing up to start as soon as Wednesday.
But the Palestinian Authority has refused to participate in the talks until it has the backing of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation, which will not meet until Sunday.
Talks, mediated by Mr Mitchell, were agreed last month but the PA cancelled after an Israeli announcement that new homes had been approved in Ramat Shlomo, east Jerusalem.
Last month, the Obama administration chose to go to an extreme when criticising Israel over its settlement activity. Now it is going to the opposite extreme in showing its love for the Jewish state.
Commentators have been competing with each other to come up with the best superlative to describe the apparent crisis in Israel-American relations, but it has gone almost unnoticed that on one very significant issue, President Barack Obama seems to be closer now to Israel's position that the Bush administration.
Only three weeks after the traumatic meeting in the Oval Office, Binyamin Netanyahu will be returning to Washington next week and participating in President Barack Obama's nuclear security summit.
The two leaders are not expected to meet privately as the Israeli government has yet to respond to the administration's demands regarding the peace process.
President Obama's foreign policy team came into office in 2009 determined to distance themselves from Israel. This was due in part to their inclination to change everything that the Bush administration did as well as their belief that a more "even handed" approach really could jump start the peace process.
This determination to cool things down with Israel was strengthened once Binyamin Netanyahu's right-wing coalition won in the elections held only a month after Mr Obama's inauguration.
US President Barack Obama aims to halt construction completely in east Jerusalem, including the strictly Orthodox neighbourhood of Ramat Shlomo, as part of 10 demands made during his Washington meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel media has reported.
Other demands include ending the demolition of Palestinian neighbourhoods and the re-starting of indirect talks with the Palestinians to decide on future borders.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied claims on Friday that right-wing members of his coalition were pushing him into building in east Jerusalem – because, he said, he would have initiated such building himself.
Mr Netanyahu's coalition has been the subject of speculation since he returned empty-handed from an apparently disastrous meeting in Washington with US President Barack Obama.
US President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu have met for lengthy, private talks in the White House.
Mr Netanyahu, along with Defence Minister Ehud Barak, met Mr Obamafor a 90 minute discussion in the Oval Office.
But debate was reportedly so heated, that after the talks were due to conclude, both sides went their separate ways to seek advice from aides and after a short break Mr Netanyahu requested a further 35 minute meeting with the President.
US President Barack Obama has spoken of the "special bond" the US has with Israel, keen to smooth over the mounting diplomatic crisis between the countries.
Tensions have been high since the Israeli Interior Ministry announced the building of 1,600 new homes in Ramat Shlomo, east Jerusalem, just 24 hours after US Vice President Joe Biden visited the country in an attempt to start peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

Customization is good, right? United Keys thinks so, and they want to offer you the opportunity to customize your own keyboard, well at least part of your keyboard. The keyboard is pretty standard with the exception of 9 keys that are in fact mini OLED screens that can be programmed with whatever suits your taste. If the keyboard proves not necessary, you can opt for the smaller and more subtle OLED keypad. Course, with customization comes cost. The United Keys OLED keyboard will run you $260, where as the keypad will set you back $200. Oh, and it doesn't appear to be compatible with Macs.
Both are available here
[Thanks, Dan]

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP)- A volunteer committee is beginning a statewide assessment of Maryland's public trails.
The Department of Natural Resources Trails Committee holds its first meeting Thursday in Annapolis.
The 15-member panel includes representatives from trail user groups around the state.
Its mission is to recommend investments, goals and objectives for trails open to both motorized and non-motorized recreation.
State officials will consider the recommendations as they compile a 5-year land preservation and recreation plan due in 2014.

If you've seen Deeper, you know what this board is capable of. If not, go watch it immediately (and be sure to have a fresh pair of drawers ready).
- Directional hybrid-rocker shape uses exaggerated rocker in the nose, camber between your feet, and a mellow rocker in the tail
- Full wood topsheet cuts down on weight and toxic chemicals
- Magne-Traction edges add five extra contact points - mellow toward the tip and tail for precise edge control, and more exaggerated between the bindings for raw turning power
- Wide, blunted nose shape increases surface area for better float in deep snow
- Carbon and KEVLAR� reinforcement delivers excellent pop and lighting-quick edge-to-edge transitions
- Large sidecut radius ensures stability at excessive speeds
- Hickory wood sidewalls reduce environmental impact without sacrificing durability
- Carbon-infused sintered base material made with recycled P-tex is both ridiculously fast and eco-friendly

Unfortunately I had to return my first Flagship after gashing the thing open (user error) the third day on it, but I have been riding the second one I got for about two months by now. Love does not do our relationship justice (is it uncommon to sleep with your snowboard after an epic backcountry excursion?). The Flagship is fast in whatever conditions you strap into, and absolutely floats in the pow. It's a little heavy to pack around, but makes up for the slight back pain it causes in beautiful waves of snow in your face.
I was a little nervous (and intrigued) by the unfinished topsheet, but all my concerns have been put to bed. I'm on my 20th day or so with the wood stick and I can't imagine my life without it (literally).
Lives up to the hype
Member since
This is the best board I have ever ridden. In deep powder, this board keeps its nose up and floats beautifully. On groomers, it can turn on a dime or make long, sweeping carves. It is very agile but stable. The board is very quick edge to edge. The mellow mag is very subtle, but the board holds its edge when called upon. The flagship is the ultimate freeride board. I will be keeping this board for a long time.

Great little hotel at a good pricePosted 08-Jan-2013
A friendly family hotel. Great location with the ski bus stopping right outside. Also for pedestrians, its a pleasant 12 minute walk along a path to town which is really nice with an interesting old town area. Lovely breakfasts with good choice and we did try the evening meals too which were pretty good; they also tried to accomodate a vegetarian, not always easy abroad! The rooms, a little old fashioned and simple were spotless, comfortable and quiet and all the bathrooms were super . We would definitely go back.

Women, Latinos still fueling 3-point Obama lead in Colorado
A statewide survey of 500 likely voters in Colorado was conducted by Grove Insight October 23-24 using professional interviewers. Quotas were set to ensure calling into cell phone only households. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points at the 95% level of confidence. The data reported here closely mirrors party registration in Colorado -- 33% of the sample are registered Republicans, 34% are registered Democrats, and 33% are unaffiliated with either party.

Slovenian laboratory uses megapixel cameras to observe rare amphibian
Arecont Vision cameras enable research on European cave salamander in dark, humid environment
The Tular Cave Laboratory in Slovenia (Jamski laboratorij Tular) was established in 1960 by Marko Aljancic, a biologist specializing in subterranean species, who populated the laboratory with the European cave salamander (Proteus anguinus). The blind amphibian dwells in the subterranean waters endemic to the Dinaric Karst, where groundwater has carved underground limestone caverns. It spans from East Italy through Slovenia, over coastal Croatia to Herzegovina and part of Bosnia. The highly endangered Proteus can live up to 100 years, is the only European cave vertebrate and, at about 10 to 12 inches long, is by far the largest cave animal in the world. Tular is the biggest cave laboratory in Slovenia and one of the few places where the endangered European cave salamander has been successfully bred outside its natural habitat. The laboratory also maintains a colony of an extremely rare dark-pigmented subspecies endemic to Slovenia. The cave laboratory has studied the ecology and behavior of Proteus, primarily its breeding, for more than 50 years. Conditions at the Tular Cave Laboratory include total darkness and near 100 percent humidity. The laboratory maintains 40 Proteus in four large laboratory pools to simulate their natural cave environment, with clay on the bottom and rocks for hiding. Experiments are based on observation and are carefully designed not to harm or stress the animals. The laboratory is a constituent body of Slovenia's Cave Biology Society and is led by Gregor Aljancic.
A real-time and long-term video monitoring system was needed to observe behavioral experiments and obtain adequate information on Proteus behavior. The system needed to use motion detection to avoid capturing useless video of long periods of Proteus inactivity, and also needed to provide a reasonable balance of video data quantity, quality and required storage capacity. Video cameras needed to capture clear details to provide additional information to help the laboratory design new studies. The system would need to use infrared (IR) light so as not to disturb the animals, who are stressed when their skin senses the visible spectrum of light. Eventually, the system would need to incorporate five to seven cameras that would be permanently mounted and combined into a 24/7 monitoring system accessible over the Internet as the "TularVirtualLab."
Megapixel Solution
From the fall of 2009 to the spring of 2010, the Tular Cave Laboratory searched the market for a video camera to meet its needs, especially the need for high-resolution images. By far, Arecont Vision's AV5105DN 5 megapixel camera was the only one to fit the criteria at a reasonable price (the few other alternatives were extremely expensive). The laboratory also preferred a U.S. made product in terms of expected quality and durability in the extreme cave conditions.
Video monitoring of Proteus behavior began with shorter behavioral experiments (up to 30 days), with the system removed from the cave once the experiment was finished. Tular Cave Laboratory uses the Arecont Vision AV5105DN 5 megapixel camera equipped with a 4.5-13mm varifocal IR lens and connected to a computer running Arecont Vision AV100 software as the video management system. The camera is mounted directly above the monitored pool (3 to 6 feet away) or experimental aquarium (1 to 3 feet away). Because of high humidity and dripping water, the camera is enclosed in a plastic waterproof housing. The AV100 software provides video recording based on motion detection triggered by the behavior of Proteus.

Deutsche Telekom's fiber optic network hits 512Gbps in real-world test
Europe seems to be getting all the fiber love lately, as researchers at Deutsche Telekom hit transmission speeds of 512Gbps on a single fiber optic channel this week, with usable speeds up to 400Gbps. To put this context, that's about 77 CDs of music being transferred at once. What's even more impressive, it was accomplished under real-world conditions, sending the transmission 734km from Berlin to Hanover and back again alongside channels carrying the company's standard 10Gbps signals. Once built out, this new technology could operate on all channels of a given fiber. For Deutsche Telekom's 48-channel optical fibers, that means a theoretical throughput of 24.6Tbits on a cable thinner than a human hair.

The Web's Promotional Effect and Artists' Strategies
AbstractThe paper explores one of the new business models of the music market proposed by Varian (2005): the importance of the promotional effect of web-based diffusion. An indirect form of such investment consists in non-opposition by artists against the circulation of their music files online, or, likewise, their choice of permitting free downloads of their music albums. The profits lost from legal sales - online or on traditional supports - may be off-set by promotional advantages deriving from greater diffusion, with an increase in the artist's market share. The model assumes the existence of a strong network effect and an exchange of information, opinions and contents among web users. The model's results are determined by the initial conditions, i.e. by an artist's market share at an initial instant of time: or in other words, by his/her popularity. It is shown that emerging artists should make maximum investment in promotion, so that the diffusion of their work can be driven by the network effect and they can emerge from anonymity. Instead, for well-established artists, whose market shares are already large, the optimal strategy is to make the least promotional effort, given that the spontaneous diffusion of their work is already high.

Vandell [XBL: Keazra] said...
Typing from my iPod here, so bear with me.
My issue isn't with mechanics.. I feel Blizzard has been wrongly molding the trees into their respective roles for all the wrong reasons, simply because "they already fit". The thematics, in my mind, do NOT fit at all, and Blizzard is being intentionally lazy just because Blood already has the most tanking talents and they don't want to spend time making Frost work.
I've polled my Twitter audience [70 followers] and asked them what sounds more like a tank: Blood, Frost, or Unholy? Without giving hem any context, they all unanimously agreed [about 10 of answered] Frost.
I'll post more on this when I'm available on my computer.

Denver Broncos veteran defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson had himself a nice game against the New England Patriots on Sunday night, as he recorded his first sack of the season and added another hit on Tom Brady. However, Vickerson also sustained a serious hip injury in the loss, and it was initially reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter that Vickerson would have to miss at least six weeks with the dislocated hip.
The Broncos apparently don't want to wait around for Vickerson to heal, as the Denver Post's Mike Klis reports that the Broncos will likely place Vickerson on the injured reserve. Klis tweeted that Vickerson's timeline to return is closer to eight weeks than six, and that's simply too long to keep a mediocre player on the active roster. Vickerson does some nice things for the defense and is a decent veteran starter, but the Broncos can't afford to keep him on the 53-man roster for eight weeks at this juncture of the season.
That means UNC rookie Sylvester Williams needs to step up, since he figures to play a key role as an interior pass rusher in a rotation with other Broncos DTs. Mitch Unrein looks to be the most adept at picking up Vickerson's run defense, since that was Vickerson's biggest asset. While Vickerson wasn't all that good, the Broncos will still want to find away to replace his run defense, hopefully with somebody who doesn't commit nearly as many penalties as Vickerson did.
It will be interesting to see what Williams does, as this is a huge spot for the rookie. The Broncos have plenty of talent in the front seven, especially with Von Miller already back to his elite level of play. And with "Pot Roast" Knighton beasting all year, the Broncos interior should be sturdy even without Vickerson.
Keep in mind that Vickerson hasn't already been placed on the injured reserve, but it's clear that it's the best direction for the Broncos. They need roster flexibility most at this point, and they should be able to move past Vickerson's injury with ease, especially if they get solid production out of the "next men up" (I use "men", since there figures to be a rotation involved).

Greetings PHN Section Members and Happy Fall to All!
Preparations are well unde rway for a fruitful Annual Meeting. This year's theme is, "Healthy Communities Promote Healthy Minds and Bodies" is especially timely as we continue highlighting the importance of integrating a multi-faceted community approach to health promotion and illness prevention.
The theme flows well with many of our PHN Section priorities and with the National Prevention Strategy. The National Prevention Council, created in June of 2010 and made up of the leadership of 17 federal agencies with input from the public and interested stakeholders, is charged with providing coordination and leadership at the federal level with respect to prevention, wellness and health promotion practices. The National Prevention Strategy presents a vision, goals, recommendations and action items that public, private, nonprofit organizations and individuals can take to reduce preventable death, disease and disability in the United States. Clearly, public health nursing is central to creating healthy communities that are a priority for our future. Susan Swider, PhD, APHN-BC, is an appointed member of the National Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion and Integrative and Public Health

Clara Barton's life of service has been a role model for generations of nurses, teachers, social workers, doctors and allied health professionals. A new generation of executives and public servants value the leadership and strong work ethic she exhibited with profound dedication to her cause. She cared little for personal comforts, instead choosing to comfort others. In her time, Barton was called a philanthropist. Although that term today often connotes someone who has money and gives some of it to help others, in the 19th century it had a more direct meaning: one who for love of his fellow men exerts himself for their well-being. Her work during the Civil War is a striking example of true philanthropy: how one individual can make a difference in the lives of others.
In 1865 Barton hired a staff and opened the "Office of Correspondence with the Friends of the Missing Men of the United States Army". At the end of the war, Barton took up the cause of grieving parents, family and friends whose sons, brothers and/or neighbors were missing. She responded to over 63,000 letters, most of which required some kind of research that eventually lead to published lists of the names of the missing so that anyone with knowledge of their whereabouts or death could contact her. Between 1865 and 1868, Barton's office handled more than 63,000 letters, providing information to the families of more than 21,000 men. In November 1997, the U.S. General Services Administration discovered signs, clothing and papers in an attic on Seventh Street in Northwest Washington, D.C. The artifacts were identified as the belongings of Clara Barton from her occupancy of the building during the Civil War. Because of the discovery, the building was preserved and GSA retains an easement for planned museum use.
The information regarding Ms. Barton's office was adapted from http://civilwarmed.org/clara-barton-missing-soldiers-office/ and http://ncr.gsa.gov/historicpreservation/clarabarton/index.htm which were accessed on August 28, 2011.
On Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2011, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., a limited number of PHN Section members will have the opportunity to take part in a guided tour of the Missing Soldiers Office where Barton provided supplies to soldiers on the battlefields of and immediately following the Civil War. The site is within walking distance of the Washington Convention Center and is accessible by Green Line Metro as well as Metrobus. Following the guided tour, a no-host social hour will be held at a restaurant near the Missing Soldier's Office. Space for the tour is limited, and registration is required. Please contact PHN Section Local Arrangements Committee Co-Chair Rita Gallagher at email@example.com to reserve your place. PDF flier can be printed and shared.
An exciting Student Assembly is planned for Oct. 29, 2011, from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m., offering resume workshops, panel discussions and other professional development activities as well as speed mentoring. Students do not need to register for the APHA conference it is a free National Student Meeting.
Deadline to register for the Student Assembly is Sept. 30 at

On June 23-26, APHA held its first midyear meeting entitled, "Implementing Health Reform: A Public Health Approach" sponsoring a member from each APHA section to attend. The focus, as indicated by the meeting's theme, was on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the implications for public health. As chair-elect, I was privileged to attend on the PHN Section's behalf. This is a synopsis of the meeting and sessions I attended as well as my perspectives on the impacts and opportunities for public health nursing.
The opening session of the midyear meeting featured two individuals who spoke about strategies to engage both the community and public health professions in delivering the message of prevention as a critical element of health care reform through the Affordable Care Act, Celinda Lake (Lake Research Partners), and former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, JD. Ms. Lake's central message was that the public is supportive of prevention but confused about the difference between community and individual prevention, and are tax sensitive despite being supportive of investing resources. She suggested that the public needs easy choices to be healthy, and stressed simple messaging to convey the importance of prevention. Governor Granholm spoke from the political perspective and, similar to Ms. Lake, stating that generally the U.S. public supports prevention but fears adopting social programs that might mean more government. Consequently, this fear has increased the public's tolerance of illogical arguments against prevention funding despite the fact that sound data and logic point in the direction of increasing support for public funded prevention programs. Governor Granholm described public health professionals as having a "Duty to Be Heard" and to "Band Together for the Common Good for the Good of the Community." She concluded calling us to be "Public Health Radicals" and the "Founders" in the world that act upon what we see and experience in order to "do good" in society rather than succumb to being "Finders" that stumble across the world.
The featured closing speaker of the midyear meeting was Assistant USPHS Surgeon General James Galloway, giving a synopsis of the tangible outcomes of the ACA that includes increasing access to preventive care services, strengthening the community health center infrastructure, insurance coverage reforms, bans on discrimination based on pre-existing conditions. Galloway spoke of the opportunities for public health in the expansion of National Public Health Service Corp, increasing the capacity of the public health workforce, and focused efforts on prevention through Community Transformation grants, increased preventive care services, and the Public Health Data Initiative.
Of the sessions I attended over those three days, there were several that were of note, relational to each other, and led me to conclude were of significance for public health nursing. These sessions focused on national quality for population health, quality improvement and public health accreditation, and workforce development. There is wide momentum nationally in public health to improve the quality of public health services and overall organizational performance. Efforts by the National Quality Forum, National Quality Strategy, and the Public Health Accreditation Board outline national strategies and standards that frame and conceptualize accountability for and measurement of population health outcomes. So what role does public health nursing play in these efforts? Public health nurses have the ability to make significant contributions to meeting national quality goals to improve population health by first becoming knowledgeable about these strategies, performance measures and accreditation standards. As public health nurses, this will require us to examine our current practice, assess the evidence for that practice, and appropriately make changes. Using quality improvement principles and techniques can assist and guide us as we incorporate the evidence into our practice. These efforts will contribute not only to our effectiveness as public health professionals but ultimately to improving the quality and safety of public health services to the public.
In conclusion, the Affordable Care Act presents public health with possibilities for improving population health outcomes. Likewise, it affords public health nursing the opportunity to take leadership in assuring public health interventions are of high quality, provided safely and respectfully, contributes to eliminating health disparities and improves health outcomes in all communities.

Remembering Barbara Starfield, MD, MPH
Monday, 4:30-6 p.m., Grand Hyatt, Independence Ballroom H
Today, Dr. Barbara Starfield is best known for the stunning re-emergence of primary care that has produced demonstration programs in nearly every state in the country. But for many years, pediatrician Dr. Barbara Starfield was one of the few people doing ground-breaking research on children's health services and tackling the question of how to reduce inequalities in child health. Dr. Starfield and her work will be remembered at the annual Health Services Research update session held late Monday afternoon (4:30) at the Grand Hyatt. This event will present a unique opportunity to hear from people who collaborated closely with her and know her work well.
Dr. Starfield served on the Institute of Medicine Committee that published Children's Health, the Nation's Wealth in 2004. Pediatrician Christopher Forrest will speak of the seminal work she did to conceptualize children's health and health outcomes which had a formative influence on how we think about care for all children. Her work stimulated a broader, person-oriented view of the child that led to the IOM Report.
Martin Sepulveda, MD, from IBM will describe the impact her later work had on private sector employers in generating support for a health system that rests on a strong primary care foundation. She compared countries of the world for their health outcomes including patient satisfaction and their primary care attributes. Countries with better primary care systems had better outcomes and better satisfaction at lower costs. Dynamic leaders have taken that message and are instigating change.
Dr. Leihu Shi worked with Dr. Starfield for many years at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health where she chaired the Department of Health Policy and Management. He will talk about his collaborations with her over the years. Many who share interest in child health services and/or primary care health services recognize Barbara Starfield as a groundbreaking founder in those fields. She passed away this summer in the eighth decade of her extraordinary life at the age of 79. Come to the session to learn more about her and her work.
A new study, which appeared in Health Affairs August 2011 issue, found that increased public health investment can produce measureable health improvements. The study examined changes in spending patterns and mortality rates within the service areas of nearly 3,000 local public health agencies between 1993 and 2005.
To measure spending, the authors, Glen P. Mays and Sharla A. Smith, used information from the National Association of County and City Health Officials and other sources. They looked at county-level infant mortality rates and age-adjusted mortality rates for heart disease, cancer, diabetes and influenza, all measures expected to be sensitive to public health interventions. They found that between 1993 and 2005, public health spending increased among 65 percent of local public health agencies, by an average of $6.16 per person, for a total of $40.84 per person in 2005. In communities that increased public health spending by 10 percent, mortality levels declined measurably: infant mortality rate declined 6.85 percent; heart disease deaths per 100,000 population declined 3.22 percent; and deaths from diabetes and cancer declined 1.44 percent and 1.13 percent respectively.
The authors suggest that additional spending, such as the $15 billion in new federal funds authorized under the Affordable Care Act's Prevention and Public Health Fund, would be expected to generate substantial improvements in population health over time. In future, by measuring spending levels in specific programmatic areas such as tobacco control, nutrition and physical activity, it may be possible to identify more precise relationships between investments and health outcomes.
Dear Fellow Members,
I am the PHN Section representative to The Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, or ANHE. ANHE is reaching out to all nursing and other health related groups to join the Safer Chemicals Healthy Families coalition. As nurses and health professionals, each of us has a responsibility to advocate for change that can improve health or eliminate disease. The Safer Chemicals Act of 2011 (S847) has been introduced in the U.S. Senate -- a bill that will address how chemicals are managed and regulated in this country. It will also require that new chemicals provide information about health impacts. The SCHF coalition is spearheading work to get this important legislation passed this term. As health professionals we need to be part of this effort.
It does not cost money to join in support of chemical reform; simply go to www.saferchemicals.org and click on GET INVOLVED at the top of the page. You will then see Join as an ORGANZIATION. Complete the information requested and you are part of the coalition. Please in addition email me at the address below and let me know you have joined. We want to be sure to publicize how nurses are making a difference in the lives of their patients and their communities.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. In addition I urge you to check out and utilize the incredible number of timely resources, which are available on the ANHE website, http://e-commons.org/anhe/ and in their e learning website http://e-commons.org/.
Thank you for allowing me to represent the PHN Section on this dynamic organization! I serve on the Steering Committee and the Policy and Advocacy Committee.

Given the recent devastating disasters that have affected so many, you may be interested to know that FEMA has an emergency app for the Droid. A version for Blackberry devices and iPhones will be available in the coming weeks. It is free and easy to sign up for and probably a good app for all of us to have.
The FEMA App provides preparedness and disaster recovery information only. Here are the highlights of what you will be able to do:
·Check off the items you have in your family's emergency kit;
·Enter your family emergency meeting locations;
· Review safety tips on what to do before, during and after a disaster;
· View a map of shelters and disaster recovery centers across the U.S.; and
·Read our latest blog posts.
FEMA created the app, keeping the disaster survivor in mind, making sure much of the information would be available even if cell phone service isn't, so you'll be able to access the important information on how to stay safe after a disaster, as well as your family's emergency meeting locations.
Marylyn Morris McEwen PhD, PHCNS-BC, FAAN
, an associate professor at the University of Arizona College of Nursing, has been awarded a $1.8 million, five-year grant titled Decreasing Diabetes Disparities: Building Mexican American Family Social Capital.
Funded by the National Institutes of Health/National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, the project seeks to build family capacity for managing diabetes among individuals of Mexican origin who reside in the United States–Mexico border region, where type 2 diabetes (T2DM) exceeds the U.S. national rates for Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites. Elimination of T2DM health disparities in this unique geopolitical region is of utmost importance in the fight to reduce diabetes and its negative long-range health consequences.
Using community-based participatory research principles to engage Mexican American adults with T2DM and their family partners, Dr. McEwen's research team will facilitate the design and testing of a culturally tailored diabetes management education and social support intervention for building family capacity ("social capital") to reduce T2DM health disparities. A total of 168 Mexican American adults with T2DM, ages 35-74, and their family member (18 years and older) will randomly be assigned to either intervention or wait-list control groups. A compressed intervention will be offered to participants in the wait-list control group. The intervention will be delivered in Spanish and English through group education and social support activities, home visits and telephone calls. The intent is to improve and sustain glycemic control within individuals with T2DM and effect positive downstream outcomes for families and communities as well.
For more than 20 years, Dr. McEwen has been working in several health-related ways with Mexican Americans who reside in the U.S.–Mexico border region – conducting community health assessments, mentoring nursing and other health professional students to provide educational interventions and case-management services and conducting community-based pilot studies that focused on diabetes self-management.
Dr. McEwen's inter-professional team includes: Carolyn Murdaugh, PhD, FAAN, UA College of Nursing; Harold Szerlip, MD, UA College of Medicine; Deborah Koniak-Griffin, RNC, EdD, FAAN, director Women's Health Research, Center for Vulnerable Populations Research, UCLA School of Nursing; and Gwen Gallegos, FNP, CDE, Carondelet Health Network, Tucson.

The current state of health research in the United States has largely categorized U.S. born and foreign-born individuals of "Black or of African descent" into very broad ethnic groups such as Black American or African American. However, these broad groupings have discounted and overlooked the variation of cultures found among Black populations. An aspect of relevance is that cultural beliefs and patterns may influence the perceptions and health concerns of Black populations. Understanding the perceived health concerns and the influence of culture on those health concerns can assist in the development of gender-specific and culturally appropriate nursing care for Black women.
The aim of this six-month exploratory, qualitative study was to identify and explore the perceived health concerns of African American and Sierra Leonean women using focused ethnography as the methodology and the techniques of participant observation. Furthermore, this study sought to identify cultural components among the chosen groups that may affect their perceived health concerns. This study also explored the cultures of the Black hair salons, a context where health information is exchanged among Black women. Seventeen key informants, 10 African American women and seven Sierra Leonean women were interviewed using a semi-structured format.
The following five domains were developed for each group: a) culture; b) spirituality; c) roles/responsibilities; d) health; and e) health concerns.
Based on the findings, the following conclusions were drawn: The salon culture facilitates an environment of closeness and trust among the patrons, stylists and salon owners. Women of both groups feel comfortable when discussing general and personal information in the salons. Therefore, information related to health and health concerns are easily discussed in the salons. Data related to the cultures of the two groups revealed the importance of family, traditions, celebrations and foods. The key informants revealed health concerns related to conditions affecting themselves, family members and close friends. The following health conditions were major concerns for both groups of women: 1) obesity/weight gain, 2) weight-related health conditions (diabetes and hypertension), 3) stress, and 4) cancer. Moreover, this study provided a greater understanding of the health concerns of African American and Sierra Leonean women, which will facilitate the development of gender-specific and culturally-appropriate nursing care, nursing research and health education programs.

Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. It affects not only the health of children, families and communities, but even our health care system and economy. Childhood obesity has a regressive prevalence pattern: it is found disproportionately in communities of color and populations on the bottom rung of the socioeconomic ladder. "Reframing Childhood Obesity" is a new video that addresses childhood obesity from a social determinants perspective and presents public policy solutions to prevent it.
"Reframing Childhood Obesity" includes content that can be used to fuel action within health care communities. It also includes material appropriate for community/public health nursing education such as descriptions of population level interventions, i.e. the promotion of urban farming and/or taxing sugar-sweetened beverages, and other alternatives to exhortations to personal responsibility. Nurses are well regarded by the public, and as such are well positioned to inform and educate people about childhood obesity. Nurses also lobby elected officials to initiate and promote federal and state policy that prevents and reverses childhood obesity, although the nursing voice could perhaps be louder. "Reframing Childhood Obesity" may help nurses enhance their role in policy development. It begins with an introduction to the subject of childhood obesity and employs media advocacy strategies that attempt to reframe how childhood obesity is perceived.
"Reframing Childhood Obesity" extends the dialogue about the subject beyond the individual to include population health and social factors leading to an obesogenic society. The video provides educators and public health professionals a timely resource to inform and inspire viewers to advocate for public policies designed to combat and reverse the proliferation of this epidemic.

In preparation for their anniversary in February 2012, the Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursing's Future is working on the creation of a mosaic of individual nurses' photos that will create a single image to celebrate the nursing profession. The initiative is called, "The Art of Nursing: A Portrait of Thanks Mosaic Project. "
Johnson & Johnson proposes that by submitting a photo, a nurse will be a part of nursing's history, and will help encourage and inspire the next generation of nurses. For every photo uploaded between Aug. 15, 2011 and Feb. 1, 2012, the Campaign will donate $1 to the Foundation of the National Student Nurses Association (FNSNA) to help fund nursing student scholarships.
Further information can be found on Johson & Johnson's facebook page.

Roundup: Mustache Design
Since we'll never be able to grow one ourselves, we admit we have a bit of mustache envy. We're keen on a good mustache, although we're more about the dapper mustachio of the '20s, rather than the bushy '80s type sported by the likes of Tom Selleck. So when we spotted the Mustache Hankerchief above, we decided it was high time for a mustache design/decor round-up for all you other lovers of a good hairy upper lip.

Handy Handle Bars print by Hisss - $14, Mustache Handkerchief by Avril Loreti $16, Mr. Moustache Pillow by Sally England Design - $60, Stamp set - Western Style Moustaches by Girl on the Rocks - $18.50

While on the subject of mustaches, I am not sure oyu are all familiar with the fund raising styling of "Mustaches for kids?"
These guys have a month to grow a mustache for Donorschoose.org. I have a friend fund raising here in the NYC chapter, and let me tell you, his mustache is incredibly sleazy-cool.
The fund raising ends on Saturday at the Mustache Ball here in NYC, all the 30 or so participants will have one last big mustached party before shaving off their 'staches.
Check out my friend's page here!
or the general NYC mustache page here:
I saw these on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15716900. The three paintings look adorable together.
Here's that Etsy link, minus the problematic "."
What about these fun little mirrors!?? A collage of them in the bathroom perhaps?
Fun stuff!
It's a pity this wasn't posted a few weeks ago during 'Movember' in Oz.
Sarahh, you obviously haven't hit middle-age or you'd know this: you may be able to grow a mustache yet, so never say never!
There are some excellent mustaches in Beards of Our Forefathers:
For all you who are concerned with me not being able to grow a mustache: You're right, never say never, but even my brother and father have had problems growing a reputable 'stache. I just don't think it's in my genes, or in the stars for me (thankfully)!
You forgot Mustache on a Stick...which made an appearance in a wedding. Cute/funky.
is it strange for a woman to be obsessed with mustachioed things? i want alllll of it!
no mention of the moustachey finger tattoo? I want one - but it was the kanji tattoo of 2006/2007
I need this: http://www.scandinaviangrace.com/products/bed/accessories/39
Love it all. Mustache on a Stick seems like the sort of thing one could make pretty easily with only a jigsaw, a dowel and some glue.
