Defense Sparks LE District Title Win
"Defense wins championships" is a sport statement that is decades old. It proved true for the (23-2) Logan Elm Braves basketball team again Saturday night, in their 61-45 Division 2 District Championship over the (21-4) Warren Warriors.
The Braves checked the Warriors on 16/51 shooting from the field, while they shot 20/45 for 44%- including 6/16 from the three-point arc. Logan Elm went 15/24 from the foul line, while Warren was 10/15.
Warren won the rebound battle 35-26, but the Braves only committed 5 turnovers, while Warren had 13 against the tough LE defense.
Logan Elm was led by District "Player of the Year" Dillon Young with 19 points and 7 rebounds, while Trent Congrove added 13 points. Casey Tyler had 8 points and 8 rebound and Waylon Artrip came in off the bench for the injured Logan Thompson- scoring 8 points. Thompson left the game late in the first half, after injuring his nose in a fall. Coach Doug Stiverson told WKKJ Sports after the game, they believe it is a broken nose.
Warren had two players in double figures, as Evan French scored 15 points and Michael Hall added 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Logan Elm now faces Columbus Bishop Watterson in the Regional Semis Thursday at 6:15pm at the Ohio University Convocation Center. 94 Country WKKJ and IHeart Radio airtime will be 6pm.

Selena Gomez and Marriage?!
Easy tweens, she won't be pulling a Miley anytime soon.
Selena says she's in no rush to walk down the aisle with beau, Justin Bieber.
"It's really fun. I'm lucky," Gomez said of their relationship. "I'm 20. I don't take anything in my personal life too seriously. I have great friends and a solid group of people I love. I feel like everything else will come organically."
The brunette beauty added: "Marriage and all that other stuff I think will happen once I feel accomplished in every other aspect of my life," she said.
- From Celebuzz
Seriously, good call Gomez. After that latest music video, I wouldn't want to marry that wimp either. There's nothing worse than going out with a guy knowing, were a fight to break out, you'd have to protect the both of you.
And while we are on the Selena/Justin track.. what should we call them? It looks like they are here to stay.. so Selieber? Selustin? Justina?
LOLZ the first sounds like a communicable disease, then a Karma Sutra position, and lastly a sexually confused teen. (Hmm.. guess the last one could actually work then..)
Any other options out there for these two?!

The University enrolls nearly 5,000 students annually and offerings include more than 65 undergraduate majors and 13 graduate programs encompassing the liberal arts, interdisciplinary studies and applied fields. The University is a member of the Minnesota State College and Universities System and has a faculty and staff of nearly 600. University signature themes include environmental stewardship, civic engagement and global/multicultural understanding. For further information about the University, visit our web site at: http://www.bemidjistate.edu.
Century College
Century College is a two-year community and technical college located in suburban St. Paul, Minnesota. It is a commuter college with 15,000 full and part-time students enrolling in credit coursework each year and another 15,000 enrolling in the college's continuing education/certified training courses. Century College is one of 54 colleges and universities in the Minnesota State College and University system (MnSCU) and ranks second in level of diversity of students.
According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, http://www.ipcc.ch/ ) and thousands of other scientific experts, climate change is a reality that we must face sooner rather than later if there is any hope of reigning it in before it's reached a point of no return. Since colleges and universities have traditionally been a major source of societal change, it is important for these institutions to take a leading role in seeking ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and teach others ways to work toward sustainability by way of being a role model, providing educational opportunities in renewable energy and green jobs training, and more.
In 2006, a group of 12 college and university presidents attending an AASHE (Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education) developed the idea of a national college and university sustainability movement. They officially launched the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) in February 2007. By March 2007, 152 presidents and chancellors became signatories to the Commitment. As of this writing (August 2009), 650 college and university presidents have signed the Commitment.
The Presidents' Climate Commitment provides a framework and support for America's colleges and universities to go climate neutral. Coordination and support are provided by AASHE, ecoAmerica, Second Nature. These three non-profit organizations collectively provide the infrastructure for the initiative, including the website (http://presidentsclimatecommitment.org), outreach, tracking, and financial management. Presidents signing the Commitment are pledging to eliminate their campuses' greenhouse gas emissions over time. This involves:
1. Completing periodic greenhouse gas emissions inventories.
2. Within two years, setting a target date and interim milestones for becoming climate neutral.
3. Taking immediate steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by choosing from a list of short-term actions.
4. Integrating sustainability into the curriculum and making it part of the educational experience.
5. Making the action plan, inventory and progress reports publicly available.
Century College's President, Dr. Lawrence Litecky, signed the commitment in October 2007. While Dr. Litecky was on sabbatical to research high school-community college initiatives, Acting President O'Brien requested the formation of a climate committee in August 2008. The Century College President's Climate Committee is made up of 20 members, including students, faculty, staff, and administrators.
Century College's short-term action plan includes the following:
1. Establish policy that all new building construction and renovation will be done to at least the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED* Silver Standard or equivalent.
-- In August, 2008, Century College's new Science/Library Building opened. The building meets the guidelines for LEED Silver Standard Certification. Applying for LEED certification was considered but not pursued after receiving cost estimate.
*Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
2. Adopt an energy-efficient appliance purchasing policy requiring purchase of ENERGY STAR certified products in all areas for which such ratings exist.
3. Within one year of signing this document, reduce energy consumption by 15% or begin purchasing or producing at least 15% of our institution's electricity from renewable sources.
– According to experts and best practices, recommissioning/increasing efficiency is said to be a way of making significant reductions and should be done first.
4. Participate in the waste minimization component of the national RecycleMania competition, and adopt 3 or more associated measures to reduce waste.
a) Increase recycling efforts
b) Increase composting program (volumes and collection)
c) Set goals in other ways to reduce waste, including reduction of paper use, climate change and sustainability education of employees and students.
As of this writing, Century College has completed its baseline greenhouse gas inventory and is in the process of implementing its short-term actions. The long-term climate action plan is presently being drafted and should be completed and published at http://presidentsclimatecommitment.org in January 2010.
Century College is currently developing the following new certificate and Associate Degrees:
Renewable Energy Technologist
Our new 16-credit certificate is designed for individuals who want more background in renewable energy concepts and theory, and may be of particular interest to engineering and science students.
Associate of Applied Science – Solar Energy Technologist

•Hired a campus sustainability intern to work on energy education and sustainability initiatives.
Macalester College
Michigan State University
Michigan State University currently houses the largest on-campus coal plant in the nation. Recently, the university has passed an energy transition plan which is claimed to serve as a general outline for its transition off of coal to 100% renewable energy. Environmental groups on campus have been concerned with the ambiguities and lack of aggressiveness of the plan, and more specifically, the lack of commitment to a specific date in which it will retire the plant. There is a committee including professors, administrators, and students, which will be dealing with the ongoing transition process, but there is currently a high degree of uncertainty as to whether MSU will be able to transition to clean energy in a timely fashion. We hope to learn from the input and experiences of other universities in the mid-west to both strengthen our understanding of practical barriers so that such a transition might become a reality, and to create ties with others that are equally concerned.
I have attached the link leading to the transition plan that MSU has put out on their site.
Northland College
Northland College is a private, environmental liberal arts college, of 700 students, located in Ashland,WI on the shores of Lake Superior. Founded in 1892, Northland adopted it's environmental mission in 1971.
At Northland College, sustainability is all about people. We believe that environmental change requires more than technical knowledge of renewable energy, ecosystems and sustainable business practices; it demands as exploration of human nature an exploration of ourselves. Our commitment to sustainability is about acting from a position of hope: we can only construct a positive future if we can envision it.
Our campus is a lab where we pursue sustainability - testing theories in real world projects, with real impacts and risks. Our students participate in all levels of campus life- from volunteering to enhance our "commons", to work study jobs that support our green features, to capstone projects that help our college innovate. Students are active in governance, strategic planning, and vision-setting, creating a more sustainable future now.
In the last year students have taken the lead on such projects as removing trays from the cafeteria, expanding the community garden, increasing the renewable energy fund to $40 per semester, hiring a Sustainability Director for the student association, creating a reuse center, creating business plans for green initiatives, and presenting at events around the country.
The College of St. Benedict|St. John's University
The College of St. Benedict, a college for women, and St. John's University, a college for men, are private liberal arts colleges located in St. Joseph and Collegeville, Minnesota. Though separately incorporated and five miles apart, the schools enjoy a "coordinate relationship" under which 2,000 undergraduate women and 2,000 undergraduate men take courses together on both campuses from a joint faculty and under a single academic program. Both institutions were founded by Benedictine monasteries and continue to operate in the Catholic, Benedictine tradition of stewardship.
University of Minnesota, Morris
Morris is an undergraduate, public, liberal arts college of 1700 students. Morris is located in Morris, Minnesota a town of 5,000 people. Morris was founded in 1960, but its history goes back over 100 years as an educational institution. Morris provides a personalized educational experience with the resources of a top-ten research school. Our goal is a renewable, sustainable education.
Morris has a goal of carbon neutrality and energy self-sufficiency by 2010. Morris is a charter signatory of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. Morris is building an integrated small-scale renewable energy platform and has an ongoing, aggressive multi-million dollar conservation approach - over half of the electricity at Morris is provided by a large 1.65MW wind turbine. Morris has built a first-of-a-kind biomass gasification reactor on campus. Students are engaged in a wide variety of sustainability-related research. Morris has a unique shared governance structure that engages students in resource decision-making. Morris is a founding member of Pride of the Prairie - one of the longest running local food initiatives in Minnesota higher education.
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
The University of Minnesota Twin Cities is located in the vibrant Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. The U of M enrolls over 50,000 students, offering more than 135 majors. Student learning is enhanced by extensive research opportunities, study abroad, community engagement, and volunteering opportunities. The mission of Minnesota's land-grant university is threefold: research & discovery, teaching & learning, and outreach & public service.
In 2004, the Board of Regents adopted the policy Sustainability and Energy Efficiency, which established guiding principles in the areas of Leadership, Modeling, Operational Improvements, Energy Efficiency, Research, and Education & Outreach. A Systemwide Sustainability Committee then produced a report in 2009 entitled University of Minnesota Systemwide Sustainability: Goals, Outcomes, Measures, Process. This report set out specific goals and measures to accomplish the Regent's principles.
To further support the goals of the Regents and the committee, President Bruininks signed the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment. He then charged a committee of faculty, staff, and students with creating a Climate Action Plan for the campus. The UMTC Sustainability Committee completed Version 1.0 of the Climate Action Plan in 2010, with plans to revise it every two years.
The University not only hosts an institutional structure intertwined with sustainability; it also hosts a variety of innovative sustainability initiatives on campus. Some of these include:
·Institute on the Environment (IonE) - IonE works to solve some of the most important environmental issues through cutting-edge research, partnerships and leadership development. The Institute hosts campus-wide events to incorporate the University community in the discussion through a weekly Frontiers on the Environment lecture series and a new event series, Momentum. The Initiative for Renewable Energy and the Environment, a project within IonE, focuses on finding renewable energy solutions for the University and the state of Minnesota. (www.environment.umn.edu)
·Sustainability Studies Minor - The University's Sustainability Studies Minor began in 2006, hosting students and faculty from 7 different colleges.

(http://www.cppm.umn.edu/sustainability/index.htm)
University of Northern Iowa
The University of Northern Iowa is a public university with approximately 13,000 students. Founded in 1876, UNI is located in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and offers more than 120 majors across the colleges of Business Administration, Education, Humanities and Fine Arts, Natural Sciences and Social and Behavioral Sciences and the graduate college.
The University of Northern Iowa is committed to sustainability through reducing carbon emissions, conserving energy, engaging and educating the university community to establish lifelong behaviors, and promoting the general public interest.
Energy conservation and sustainability were on the radar at UNI as early as 1915 when UNI offered one of the nation's first collegiate-level courses in conservation. Now UNI offers more than 180 sustainability-related courses; leads outreach programs in K-12 classrooms across the state; researches new and refines old methods for energy conservation; provides speakers and education for community and business leaders; and works to establish efficient and energy-saving measure across campus.
Highlights include:
- In 1990, then President Constantine Curris was one of the 20 original signers of the Talliores Agreement, the first official commitment to environmental sustainability in higher education.
- In 2006, current President Benjamin Allen appointed a Sustainability Council and created an Energy Conservation Committee to lead and promote the university's sustainability efforts.
- UNI programs such as the Center for Energy & Environmental Education (CEEE), Iowa Waste Reduction Center (IWRC) and Recycle and Reuse Technology Transfer Center (RRTTC) have taught K-12 students and business owners the importance of reducing waste, recycling and using renewable sources of energy and provided tips on how to incorporate them into life and work. During the last fiscal year, CEEE education programs reached approximately 9,800 K-12 students and more than 1,100 K-12 teachers; 47 companies and organizations received assistance from RRTTC projects and services; and the IWRC provided technical assistance and on-site reviews to 253 small businesses.
- Research within the physics, chemistry and industrial technology departments and at the Tallgrass Prairie Center and National Ag-Based Lubricants Center is moving energy conservation forward by improving hydrogen-storage and solar cell capabilities, exploring biomass-energy production and using biolubricants to reduce the use of fossil fuels. UNI undergraduate students participate in many of these research projects.
- The UNI Speakers Bureau features several well-regarded experts in energy conservation and sustainability fields. These UNI faculty and staff members are available to community organizations, businesses and industries that want speakers for meetings, summits, conferences and more. Many of these presentations are made free of charge.
- The UNI power plant is 70 to 80 percent more efficient than typical power plants, and produces 40 percent of the university's energy. UNI Power Plant staff and Cedar Falls Utilities have and continue to explore alternative energy sources. UNI also continues to explore ways to decrease non-renewable energy consumption by monitoring current energy costs compared to wind energy, replacing incandescent lights with LED lights, working Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards into new and existing buildings, making electric hybrid vehicles available in the motor pool and purchasing produce and products from local vendors when available.
- In 2009, UNI Dining Services spent more than $700,000 of its budget on produce and products from Iowa vendors, growers and farmers.
- Over the past decade, about 40 acres that were once mowed are now natural vegetation, requiring little maintenance and providing a learning opportunity for UNI students.
- UNI and the city of Cedar Falls established a joint recycling-reuse center on campus, which continues to collect increasing amounts of material for recycling.
- This year UNI will install photovoltaic panels on the new Multimodal Transportation Center to harness the suns energy and make the building a net-zero-energy facility, meaning it will produce its own power needs.
Increased energy savings and sustainability efforts have become a major priority for local, state and federal governments. UNI will continue to promote sustainability through reducing carbon emissions, conserving energy, engaging and educating the university community to establish responsible lifelong behaviors, and promoting the general public interest. Working as an institution, UNI is helping to build and promote a secure future for Iowa and its citizens.
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire

The institution evolved into a State Teachers College in 1927, the Wisconsin State College at Eau Claire in 1951 and attained university status in 1964. In 1971 the university, with other state-supported higher learning institutions, became a full partner in the new UW System and has continued to expand its mission of providing quality undergraduate programs in liberal arts and sciences, business, education, nursing, human sciences and services, and pre-professional programs.
Students enrolled in HNRS 302 "Tracking the University's Carbon Footprint" are well along in data gathering that will contribute to our campus's second greenhouse gas emissions inventory.
The campus Climate Action Plan is under development and expected to be done by mid-June.
I'll add more details soon!
University of Wisconsin-Madison
UW-Madison is a public institution with a current enrollment of 42,000 students, comprising both undergraduate and graduate students. UW-Madison was founded in 1848 and is located in the heart of downtown Madison.
UW-Madison is committed to identifying and minimizing its environmental footprint. In 2006 UW-Madison initiated an aggressive program, WE CONSERVE, to strengthen its environmental stewardship. The goals of the WE Conserve Campaign are 1) To reduce campus energy consumption by 20% by 2010 and 2) To instill the spirit of environmental stewardship in the community consciousness (www.conserve.wisc.edu). UW-Madison is taking steps to purchase more local food. Ten percent of the university's annual food budget is spent on local products. Dining halls receive weekly produce deliveries from a sustainable agricultural group on campus, work to educate residents about alternatives to disposable to-go containers and some halls host organic dinners throughout the semester. Environmental centers on campus sponsor multiple speakers and programs throughout the year. The Nelson Institute hosts weekly community forums centered on current environmental topics. The SAGE center sponsored its first Climate Leadership Challenge, which is a student competition that stimulates creative solutions for global warming. The Business, Environment & Social Responsibility Program (BESR) was recently created by the Wisconsin School of Business. The program currently offers a graduate certificate and is developing an Executive Training program. The certificate is designed to provide knowledge and skills in strategically applying business principles to environmental and social challenges and to prepare students to systematically integrate sustainability issues into day-to-day management decision-making. The Wisconsin School of Business is also a key facilitator for the WI Sustainable Business Council, which is a network of Wisconsin businesses and organizations that are interested in, or actively responding to, the challenge of sustainability. The University also has a very active student community with a variety of student organizations focused around sustainability. These include: B.A.S.E, Net Impact, WISPIRG, the UW Energy Hub, Big Red Go Green, Emerging Green Builders, Greener RE, and the Future Energy Challenge.
University of Wisconsin-River Falls
The University of Wisconsin-River Falls was founded in 1874 as the fourth State Normal School in Wisconsin and the first in the northwestern part of the state. The present name came with the merger of the state universities and the University of Wisconsin in the fall of 1971. A boom in growth began after World War II. Since then, hardly a year has passed without an addition to the campus in the form of new lands, buildings or remodeling.
While UWRF has had a long history of sustainability-based courses, curriculum, facility design, and operational initiatives, 2005 marked the initiation of a campus strategic planning process that brought the breadth and depth of such to the forefront. Goal #2 of the plan is that "UWRF Will Model and Champion the Principles of Sustainable Community Development." In 2006, Gov. Jim Doyle selected the UW-River Falls campus as one of four UW schools to be "Off-the-Grid by 2012". A celebration of the opening of the new University Center in January of 2007 reflected the role that 'green' building will play on campus, in the region and beyond. As a Charter and Leadership Circle signatory to the ACUPCC, UWRF Chancellor Don Betz joined what is now more than 600 other college and university presidents in formally committing the campus to carbon neutrality. Also in 2007, UWRF received a $500,000 grant for sustainable agriculture curriculum and outreach projects from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The St. Croix Institute for Sustainable Community Development (SCISCD) was founded in May of 2007 to become a premier venue for deliberation and demonstration of sustainable community development principles on campus, in the community, around the region, state, nation, and internationally. The Director of the Institute is Chair of the Sustainability Working Group, which is responsible for all sustainability initiatives on campus and through targeted community outreach. Some of the sustainability highlights on campus include 100% green block electricity for residence halls and the university center provided by student fees; dining service waste vegetable oil conversion to bio-diesel for use in campus vehicles; a sustainability kiosk for education and on-campus energy use/conservation updates; masters degree program in sustainable community development; and work toward a locally sourced food service model. The Earth Consciousness Organization (ECO) club is a student organization involved in activities and events in support of sustainability. Off campus, we are involved in a number of high profile projects targeting "Cash Positive - Carbon Negative, Sustainable Community Design Models", especially for energy and food independence. Examples are the Osceola, WI "100 x 25 Project" (100% energy and food self-sufficiency by 2025 for the Village and School District), and the "Eco-Village Project" for the St. Croix Valley Habitat for Humanity chapter in River Falls, WI.

Cleveland - Cleveland Cavaliers' Brazilian center Anderson Varejao has been sidelined for the next two months from the National Basketball Association (NBA) after it was revealed he needs surgery on his right knee.
Varejao suffered the injury during the Cavaliers' 113-99 defeat to the Toronto Raptors Dec 18, reports Xinhua.
He will undergo surgery on Thursday before being sidelined for six to eight weeks, according to team doctor Richard Steadman.
Cavaliers coach Byron Scott says he expects the 30-year-old could return before the end of the season.
"I may just go up to him and give him a big hug and tell him it's going to be OK," Scott said.
After an injury-ravaged two seasons, Varejao was quite on form this season, averaging 14.1 points and 14.4 rebounds a game.
Varejao missed 51 games in 2011 with a torn ligament in his foot and 41 games last season after breaking his wrist.

Fit & Happy: 8 Healthy Delicious Foods for a Fit & Happy Heart!
By: MEREDITH NIXON, April 24, 2014
A health body is the combination of both fitness and nutrition. Our diet is not only a crucial factor in our weight but also our overall health, especially our heart's health. Exercise helps us to focus on the outside of our physique and diet allows us to focus on what's going on inside our bodies. The reality is that we all have plaque in our arteries. In fact, studies show that one in four adults suffer from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Alarming as this statistic is, the good news is that we have the ability to decrease our risk by combining fitness and diet, with these 8 heart healthy, waistline friendly foods.
1. Fatty Fish: Salmon, Mackerel, Herring, Halibut, Tuna Steak, Albacore Tuna
Fatty fish is FULL of omega-3 fatty acids which decrease both triglyceride levels and blood pressure. In addition, eating fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids 1-2 times per week may reduce the risk of coronary death.
2. Tea: Green, Black, White or Oolong
Loaded with antioxidant polyphenols, tea consumption has been associated with a decrease in heart disease. These polyphenols prevent our bad cholesterol (LDL) from oxidation which prevents the growth of things that will clog our arteries. The other bonus - tea is naturally calorie-free. This one is a no-brainer considering the many varieties available.
3. Legumes: Peas, Beans & Lentils
Low in fat and rich in the B vitamin folate, potassium, iron, magnesium, fiber, and protein, you can't go wrong by adding legumes to your diet! Eating legumes can significantly help with the prevention of CVD.
4. Low-Fat or Fat-Free Dairy: Yogurt, Milk, Cheese, Dairy-Based Protein Shakes
A diet low in fat and saturated fat and rich in fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products can help reduce blood pressure and decrease the risk of developing heart disease.
5. Leafy Greens: Full of Fiber
Leafy greens contain fiber, magnesium, potassium, calcium and other important nutrients. All which have been associated with decreased levels of both plaque build-up and the risk of heart attack. Eat at least 3 cups of dark green vegetables weekly. Include leafy greens such as spinach, arugula and romaine lettuce.
6. Oranges/Bell Peppers: High in Vitamin C, Folate, Antioxidants, Potassium & Fiber
With about 300 mg of potassium in each orange, they will help you meet the daily recommended 4,700 mg of potassium and help curb your cravings for sweets. Low levels of potassium are associated with high blood pressure. Be sure to include plenty of potassium- rich fruits and vegetables into one's daily diet.
Related Content
7. Whole Grains: Rich in Fiber
Whole grain consumption can lower blood cholesterol and prevention and management of CVD. Remember to look for "whole grain" or "whole wheat". Try a variety of grains including: oats, oat bran, quinoa, Ezekiel bread and brown rice.
8. Berries: Blueberries, Black Currants, Raspberries, and Strawberries
Pick a berry and eat it, any berry. Eating berries may help increase HDL levels and reduce blood pressure. Berries are loaded with more antioxidants than many other fruits and vegetables. Eating antioxidants vs. taking them in a pill is preferable and there are few foods where you'll get as much bang for your buck as you will with berries.
I'm sure by now you're seeing a common thread in all of my columns. The best way to stay Fit & Happy is by combining both fitness and diet. Hit the gym to help strengthen your heart, increase your lean body mass and for your overall mental and physical well-being. Help to keep your heart healthy and your waistline trim by eating properly outside of the gym.

SF Mini House Tour: June Schwarcz's Artful Sausalito Home
A few months ago the Heath Ceramics monthly newsletter had in it a slideshow of a visit that Catherine Bailey made to artist June Schwarcz's Sausalito home. We loved its passionate, textural mix of arts and crafts, and have often thought of it since then (especially, for some reason, the collection of spoons shown here). Take a look.
Read an interview with June Schwarcz here.
Thanks, June and Catherine!

that's a great way to display her spoon collection.
Would anyone have any information on the dinning room table/chair set pictured in June Schwarcz's home ?
The base of the table reminds me of Heywood Wakefield but the wood is not characteristic of what was used by that co.
I think this is one of the most beautiful sets I have ever seen.
I would love to be able to do more research and even better I would love to own one!
Arthur "Espenet" Carpenter did the table and chairs.
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated!
The spoons in the first picture were made by june's husband, Leroy.

TUESDAY, Aug. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Could American patients and
health care workers be winning the war against potentially deadly
Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) bacteria?
Infections with MRSA that began in hospitals and other health
care settings have declined 28 percent in recent years, a new
government study of roughly 15 million people finds.
Researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) report that rates of "invasive" MRSA infections
that had their onset in hospitals or other health care facilities
declined an average 9 percent annually from 2005 through 2008.
Invasive MRSA infections are those that are found in a normally
sterile body site, such as the bloodstream.
According to the study, which is published in the Aug. 11 issue
of the
Journal of the American Medical Association, invasive MRSA infections that were associated with health care settings but began outside, in the community, also declined by about 6 percent annually, for a total of a 17 percent decrease over the four-year period.
"While we don't know for sure what caused these rates to go down, we're hopeful and encouraged that the aggressive infection control programs that many hospitals have instituted are having an impact," said lead author Dr. Alexander J. Kallen, medical officer in the division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at the CDC.
For the study, Kallen and his colleagues evaluated a CDC
population-based surveillance system of MRSA infections that covers
nine metropolitan areas across the United States. After evaluating
all reports of laboratory-identified episodes of invasive MRSA
infections, they limited their analysis to infections that began in
hospitals or those that began in the community but were associated
with a health care setting. MRSA infections associated with health
care settings made up 82 percent of the total infections. The
researchers did not evaluate community-acquired MRSA
A subset analysis of just bloodstream infections showed even
greater decreases: a 34 percent drop in hospital-onset infections,
and about a 20 percent decrease in community-onset infections over
the four-year period.
The authors of an editorial accompanying the study said that
while the findings are encouraging, government surveillance systems
should be expanded to more geographical areas and should include
Staphylococcus aureus infections, as well as other important
health care-associated pathogens.
"Even if MRSA causes half of all Staph infections, that means that all the other strains of S. aureus are causing the other half, and we need to focus on
these infections as well," said co-author Dr. Daniel J. Diekema,
director of the division of infectious diseases at the University
of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, in Iowa City. Diekema said
broadening the surveillance will require a lot more funding, "but
we think it will be well worth it in the long run."
Another expert in health care-associated infections said the
findings confirm what recent smaller studies have shown.
"We were aware from our own data as well as other regional data presented at meetings that MRSA rates have dropped dramatically, but this population-based study is important because it shows that the decline is occurring across broad geographical regions," said Dr. Daniel J. Sexton, director of the Duke Infection Control Outreach Network, a collaboration between Duke University Medical Center and 39 community hospitals located in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
"It's unlikely that any one type of intervention is the reason for the decline, because rates have dropped all across these areas, where people are doing all kinds of different things," Sexton said.
"From the public's point of view, this is great news, because it shows that infection control strategies really do work," added Sexton, who is professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases at Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, N.C.
Since MRSA is primarily transmitted from person to person,
Kallen said patients can do their part to help prevent these
infections, too.
"Make sure that the people who are taking care of you are practicing good hygiene, especially if they're doing things like changing dressings on wounds," he said. While some patients may be reluctant to ask doctors and nurses if they've washed their hands, Kallen said, "these days more and more health care workers kind of expect it, and actually welcome it."

Motive known in Quesada assault case
"We have a motive for the crime," Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia M. LaFrance said Friday.
LaFrance would not reveal the motive for the attack on Dr. Eduardo Quesada, 52, and his wife, Sonia, 29, last Nov. 24. Nor would she say if this means police determined whether the intruder targeted the upscale house or chose it at random.
"I'm not going to comment at this time whether it was random or not," she added.
In addition, recently-released preliminary autopsy results confirm Sonia Quesada's death inside her mother-in-law's Bedford condominium six weeks after the home invasion was not a homicide, LaFrance said.
The couple moved into the 49 Kensington Lane unit after the home invasion. Police were called to the private, over-55 community to check on the couple's welfare Jan. 7. Inside they found Dr. Quesada unconscious, his wife dead, and a pile of prescription drugs nearby.
LaFrance would not comment on whether autopsy results show Sonia Quesada committed suicide.
Once she receives the "full medical report" from the state Medical Examiner's office, LaFrance said she and Bedford Police Chief John J. Bryfonski will meet with the family to discuss the results.
"I don't have anything in writing from them yet," she explained. "As soon as we do, we probably will make some type of press release available."
LaFrance also would not comment on whether the crime had anything to do with Dr. Quesada's work as an anesthesiologist at the Pain Management Center at Elliot Hospital and Amoskeag Anesthesia PLLC in Manchester.
Investigators insist the Jan. 7 incident at 49 Kensington Lane is completely unrelated to the Nov. 24 violent home invasion that took place at the couple's 7 Proclamation Court home.
Authorities noted the couple's Proclamation Court home was broken into while there were no signs of forced entry at the Kensington Lane condominium and no visible signs of trauma to either spouse. They are investigating the Jan. 7 incident as "an untimely death" of Sonia Quesada, she explained.
It's been 4 1/2 months since Dr. Quesada and his wife came home about 10 p.m. to find an intruder in their home. Both were severely wounded in the attack and had to be hospitalized. Their 2-year-old daughter also was home, but was not hurt. She remains with relatives.
"I can't comment on the specifics of the investigation other than to say we are making progress and continue to make progress," LaFrance said.
She would not say if authorities have any suspects or developed any "persons of interest" in the Nov. 24 home invasion. She also would not say whether an arrest is imminent.
"When, and if, we make an arrest, we will hold a press conference," LaFrance said.
Reactions from Bedford residents interviewed Friday ranged from disappointment the public was not kept better informed to allegations of a cover up.
"I'm worried about it. They (police) told us to lock our doors and they haven't told us to unlock our doors. So I'm not really sure they are making progress," said one woman who refused to give her name "because I'm a widow and I live alone."
She said she wished police would be more forthcoming about some details about the crime.
"I would like to know if they (Quesadas) were targeted because if I am not involved in any illegal activities, should I still be concerned?" she added.
"It's one of the reasons we live here. To be safe. And I don't feel that way anymore," the woman said.
Nicole Forrest, 27, agreed police should at least tell residents whether the home invasion was random.
"I think we deserve to know," said the Bedford native who grew up in town and whose family still lives here. "I think we should know if we need to be alert to this type of thing...and if this is going to keep happening,"
Another resident said "fishy comes to mind" when he thinks about the crime and police investigation. Another woman, noting speculation about the crime is rampant, said "I think it was a break-in that was designed not to look like a break in." Neither would give their names.
LaFrance said authorities have been particularly "tight-lipped" in this case because it has received so much media attention.
"If we do an investigation and any of those details leak out about the progress we are making or the specifics of the crime, it could jeopardize the investigation," she explained.

Are your tenants safe, is your property protected?
In Greater Manchester the Fire Services are committed to reducing fire deaths by ensuring that every home in the county has a working smoke alarm.
To make certain this happens, firefighters now carry out FREE Home Fire Risk Assessments and fit free smoke alarms.
This also has the benefit of reducing potential loss or damage to your tenants possessions and your property
The Fire Services have already fitted over 100,000 free smoke alarms in our local communities. Along with fitting free smoke alarms, they also give occupiers a free fire safety check known as a Home Fire Risk Assessment.
What is a Home Fire Risk Assessment?
When your tenant books a Home Fire Risk Assessment, firefighters will visit your property at an allocated time and accompany your tenant around every room in your property with the aim of:
· Identifying and making the tenant aware of the potential fire risks in their home
· Making sure your tenant knows what to do in order to reduce or prevent these risks
· Helping your tenant put together an escape plan in case a fire breaks out in the future
· Ensuring your tenant has a working smoke alarm and if they don't, we will fit a FREE ten year smoke alarm.
Booking a FREE Home Fire Risk Assessment couldn't be simpler. Simply ask your tenant to call 0800 555 815 or fill in the form on the weblink www.manchesterfire.gov.uk/fire_safety_advice/home_fire_risk_assessments.aspx

Walker: Return of the duck billed platypus
Scientists will get together in Washington this coming week to discuss something that just a few years ago was strictly in the realm of science fiction — bringing back extinct species.
Obviously, the first thing you think of is "Jurassic Park," the movie where an off-kilter wealthy man was able to recreate dinosaurs, much to the dismay of their human keepers who found themselves on the creatures' lunch menus.
The brainiacs who will meet at National Geographic headquarters are not going that far out on a limb on the tree of life. They will consider something more realistic and less intimidating, such as bringing back the passenger pigeons, which were numerous as buffalo until hunters managed to wipe them out early in the 20th century.
The thinking is that DNA technology may be near the point where some lost species might be invited back for something of an Animal Kingdom reunion.
The overriding question is, even if we could — should we? Species have been emerging and vanishing long before Homo Sapiens stood up and squeezed the first fleas with their opposable thumbs. Do any of them really need to make an encore? Is there any reason to have the dodo again when we have Washington? Do we really need a 16-inch Rodrigues giant day gecko when we already have a cute smaller model who sells insurance with a cockney accent?
Even among some scientists there is debate about whether we should reintroduce extinct species even if we can. Are we guilty of playing God? Are we mucking up the natural order of things? Argument to the contrary aside, if humans can find a way to do it, we will. Just because we can.
Of course, it would be done under strict laboratory guidelines — at least in the beginning. But human nature says if something can be produced, someone will want it. So, if someone reproduces the Atlas wild ass, some rancher out there will want a piece of the action.
I worry about deer crossing U.S. 281 as it is. I really don't want to encounter a woolly mammoth.
Who wants a sabre-toothed tiger when a tabby is readily available?
It's estimated that 99 percent of all the species that have ever lived are now extinct. I hope the scientists playing with the concept they call "de-extinction" realize there might be a good reason for this.
The last thing I want to hear from any of them is — "oops!"
