The Memory Assessment Center
Collaborative Initiative is First of Its Kind in U.S.By: Roxanne Jones
Since 2007, residents of the Coachella Valley who are struggling with memory changes — and the people who love them —have been offered close-to-home access to the Memory Assessment Center (MAC). The Center offers a newly revised, first-of-its-kind program for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease, dementia or a related memory disorder, as well as a wealth of care and support resources tailored to their individual needs.
The Memory Assessment Center, under the operation of Eisenhower Medical Center and located in the Uihlein Building on the Eisenhower campus, is a collaboration between Eisenhower, the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) and the Alzheimer's Association®, California Southland Chapter, that provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to evaluation, care and support.
The Memory Assessment Center is led by Co-Directors Sheda Heidarian, MD and Collin Liu, MD. Dr. Heidarian, based at Eisenhower, is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Geriatric Medicine, and fellowship-trained in geriatrics. Dr. Liu, who practices at USC in Los Angeles, is Board Certified in Neurology and Nuclear Medicine, and fellowship-trained in behavioral neurology and neuro-imaging. Both have extensive experience working with dementia patients and are committed to helping them and their families not only understand the disease but also navigate the challenges it presents.
How the Memory Assessment Center Works Patients are seen first by Dr. Heidarian for a thorough 90-minute to two-hour medical evaluation and geriatric assessment.
"This entails taking a complete medical history, conducting physical and neurological examinations, initial memory assessment testing, and mental status examinations," explains Dr. Heidarian. "I'll review any testing that's already been done, and order any other dementia work-up tests that are required, including lab work, MRI or other imaging studies, as well as neuropsychological testing."
Neuropsychological testing is conducted at the Memory Assessment Center by Roxanna Farinpour, PhD, who specializes in assessing the effects of brain injuries and illnesses on cognition and behavior to evaluate a person's functional capacity.
Once these tests are completed, the results are reviewed by both Drs. Heidarian and Liu. Then, using videoconferencing technology, Dr. Liu examines the patient from his office at USC. Two cameras are set up at the Memory Assessment Center so he can observe the patient writing, walking and performing tasks that are part of his evaluation, which takes about 90 minutes.
"Thanks to telemedicine, Dr. Liu can see the patient and conduct his own battery of tests from Los Angeles," Dr. Heidarian says. "This is the only program of its kind in the entire country to use telemedicine to support multidisciplinary collaboration in this way."
This comprehensive evaluation process takes approximately eight weeks. Drs. Heidarian and Liu discuss their test results and findings, and agree on a diagnosis. This information is then discussed at an in-person conference with the patient and family, led by Dr. Heidarian.
"We sit down and share what we found, our diagnosis and our recommendations regarding a care plan," she says. "We also strive to educate the patient and family about what dementia is and the type of dementia the individual has. We involve them in the process versus just telling them 'you have dementia.'"
"It makes patients and families more comfortable once they have a diagnosis and a care plan," adds Dr. Heidarian. "Even when there's just so much that can be done, since there's no cure, they like to know what they're dealing with."
Also present at this conference is a master's level care consultant from the Alzheimer's Association, California Southland Chapter's Coachella Valley Regional Office.
"My role in the family conference is to be there so if the diagnosis is Alzheimer's disease or dementia, I can talk to the family about the resources available through the Alzheimer's Association," says care consultant Perry Wiggins. "A diagnosis like this is overwhelming enough, but I can help them know there are medical and other resources available for both the patient and caregivers. We're really pleased to be partnering with Eisenhower and USC to offer this service," he adds.
"As a chapter, we're thrilled to be part of this," affirms Susan Galeas, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Alzheimer's Association, California Southland Chapter. "Eisenhower's engagement in this is phenomenal, and our ongoing partnership with USC, Keck School of Medicine and Helena Chui, MD, Chair of the Neurology Department, remains an asset. This new concept would not have been possible without Dr. Chui's vision and commitment to the MAC. Drs. Heidarian and Liu are wonderful physicians and genuinely care about the people who come into the Memory Assessment Center. It's a wonderful partnership."
Galeas points out that the Memory Assessment Center would not have been possible without the generosity of caring donors who understand all too well the benefit of having this type of program in the desert.
"Marshall Gelfand and The Judy Fund, Helene Galen, and Ann and Bob Byfield provided initial support," she notes. "And their ongoing support allows the MAC to continue being a resource for the Coachella Valley community."
Marshall Gelfand and his family established The Judy Fund in 2003 in memory of his wife, Judy Gelfand. The fund works to support the Alzheimer's Association and to help prevent this disease from striking future generations.
"When my wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease 12 years ago, we had to go to Los Angeles for testing because at the time, there was no one in the Coachella Valley with this expertise," Gelfand says about why he was motivated to support the Memory Assessment Center. "There was a real emotional aspect to having to travel, then getting the diagnosis on top of that. Setting up the Memory Assessment Center at Eisenhower is a good idea, and the new facility is terrific."
"We hope it will serve as a model for other communities, especially the utilization of telemedicine since many rural areas don't have geriatricians, neurologists or neuropsychologists," Galeas adds. "It would allow for more accurate and timely diagnoses."
"Ours is a very comprehensive approach," Dr. Heidarian says, "and the reviews from patients and family members have been excellent. They feel they're being listened to and involved in the entire process — not just being given a diagnosis but also an education. They feel good about having a team of doctors working together to make it possible." She also notes that the Memory Assessment Center provides follow-up visits at six and 12 months after diagnosis.
"The daughter of one patient told us, 'You treated my mom like a person,'" adds April Lopez, RN, Nurse Manager. "Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference, and we pay attention to those things."
If you or someone you care about is experiencing memory problems (see sidebar) and would like to schedule an evaluation, or for more information, please call the Memory Assessment Center at 760-834-7964.

Tourism Indonesia Mart & Expo (TIME) 2013
Tourism Indonesia Mart & Expo (TIME) 2013
18 Oct 2013 - 21 Oct 2013
This year's TIME, the Tourism Indonesia Mart & Expo 2013 or otherwise known as "Pasar Wisata" will take place in Padang, capital of West Sumatra from 18th to 21th October 2013, after the success of two consecutive editions in Bandar Lampung, capital of Lampung Province.
TIME is an annual event organized by the Tourism Society of Indonesia (Masyarakat Pariwisata Indonesia/MPI) supported by various shareholders of Indonesian Tourism including the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the Provincial Government of West Sumatra, the Association of Indonesia's Travel Agents (ASITA), the Association of Tour Guides of Indonesia, the Association of Hotel and Restaurants (PHRI), and Garuda Indonesia airline.
TIME is the only international contract travel mart in Indonesia with a direct business to business concept. The event is a meeting place for those who sell tourism products and services of Indonesia (sellers) to the international market (buyers). TIME is Indonesia's only mart listed in the calendar of international travel marts together with ITB Berlin, WTM London, Arabian Travel Mart (ATM), PATA Travel Mart, and other similar world prestigious events. TIME 2013 will present all Indonesia's tourist destinations, including popular and newly discovered travel destinations, tourism objects, and new product developments.
Padang was chosen as the venue for this year considering its relatively easy connections to neighboring countries since the Minangkabau International Airport serves direct flights to and from Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and Singapore. Participants will also be introduced to the fascinating landscape of West Sumatra including Bukittinggi, the Sianok Gorge, and Lake Singkarak.
This year, the number of buyers are expected to increase to 83 from 28 countries; while the transaction value is projected to reach over US$ 19 million.

Health Certification and Immunization Record
The Annual Physical and Immunization Record form must be completed by an MD, PA or ARNP and returned to the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. The records must be returned to the College of Nursing and Health Sciences no later than July 1st of each year. Students beginning the Accelerated BSN program in January must have their documents submitted no later than December 15th of the year prior to their enrollment in nursing courses.

You must have adequate health insurance. Please review the College of Nursing and Health Sciences – Insurance Affidavit form for required coverage guidelines. Students who have health insurance must submit a front and back copy along with the College of Nursing and Health Sciences – Insurance Affidavit form to the Compliance Officer located in NHS 126.

While the combination of therapy and medication is crucial to recovery, the addition of self-awareness tools and skills can also be beneficial. Whether you are just beginning your recovery or are further along on your journey, the holistic practices discussed on this page can be an excellent compliment to therapy and medication.
These methods of self-discovery can help you become more in touch with your mind, body and soul while giving you an increased sense of control over your recovery process. You can implement many of these recommendations by yourself on your own time. Everyones recovery and experience with mental illness is different. Accordingly, these suggestions will work for some, but not for everyone. There is no harm in trying one or a few of these ideas, but in the end, it comes down to what works for you.
Meditation and Guided Imagery
Meditation is a mindfulness practice that allows you to let go and be present in the moment. In the fast-paced world that we live in, we often do not take the time to clear our heads and be truly present in our surroundings. This can be especially true for if you live with mental illness, because we often experience high levels of anxiety or constantly racing thoughts.
There are numerous meditation techniques, which often work in combination with one another. Meditation, or sitting quietly in the present moment, can require a small time commitment of just five minutes up to, if time allows, even hours. Meditation takes practice; retraining your mind to let go does not happen immediately, but if you take the time to practice once a day or a few times a week, it becomes increasingly easier to access a meditative state. Making meditation a part of your life can lead to lower levels of stress and anxiety and a greater level of personal connectedness. Try the steps below to begin your meditation practice.
Basic Meditation
- Find a quiet place where you can be alone and away from distractions such as the conversations of others, the television or the radio.
- Sit down, either on the floor, a cushion, grass or a chair. Keep your shoulders back and your head upright. If sitting in a chair keep your back straight. You can also lie on your back. Wherever you decide to sit make sure you are comfortable.
- Rest your hands flat on your legs or clasp them together, laying them on your waist. Again, do whatever is most comfortable for you.
- Stay still. You can close your eyes or lower your gaze, letting your eyes de-focus on the tip of your nose or an inch or two in front of your face.
- Focus on your breathing, feel your surroundings, feel the air brushing against you, the ground or the object you are sitting on.
- Clear your thoughts. Your mind will naturally begin to wander when meditating; it is inevitable, especially when you are first starting. Instead of fighting these thoughts, simply try to let them go and return back to your meditative focus and correct body position.
- The more you practice the easier it becomes to get into and stay in a meditative state. Start with five minute sessions. As you become more comfortable increase the amount of time you put aside to meditate.
The Mayo Clinic offers great tips on meditating, and howtomeditate.org has great tips and videos on meditation for beginners.
Deep Breathing
Focusing on your breathing during meditation is an important component of the practice. It helps you to remember to breathe while meditating, teaches you to breathe with your diaphragm and can be a great way to clear your mind.
- Follow the same steps listed under Basic Meditation as far as finding a place to meditate and body position.
- You may find it helpful to rest a hand on your stomach or chest to feel the air entering and leaving your body.
- Take a slow and deep inhale, and then exhale at the same speed you inhaled. Silently count your breaths upon each exhale. Example: Breath in, breath out, one. Repeat this all the way through 10 and then restart. You can also try inhaling for five counts, then exhaling for five counts. Repeat.
- Try repeating word in your head upon each exhale instead of a number. Simply thinking out during each exhale, or picking a positive word like love, can help set a pace.
- When you have finished your deep-breathing exercise, remain seated for a couple of minutes as it is possible to get lightheaded when standing up due to the increased intake of oxygen.
Guided Imagery
Guided imagery is another excellent tool for stress reduction. The process relies on visualization and mental imagery. A trained mediator (or a recording of a trained mediator) talks you through a mental journey. Some mediators focus on helping you to imagine yourself without stress or worry, while others seek to take your mind to a quiet and positive place such as a lake or beach. After you have practiced mediation on your own for awhile, you may want to try letting someone guide your mind to these positive mental arenas. You can use the same techniques learned in the Basic Meditation and Deep Breathing sections to relax and clear your head in preparation for your mental journey.
The video on this page takes you through a 10-minute guided meditation session.
Yoga and Tai Chi
Yoga is a great way to unite your mind and body through different poses and controlled breathing. Practicing yoga for just five or 10 minutes a day can help you relax and feel more at peace with yourself. Make sure to start slow and be in control of your body to avoid injury. Yoga is not about being perfect, but respecting what your body tells you. If you cant fully achieve a yoga pose, its okay, do what feels right for you. Please read the following general practice guidelines before starting a yoga practice. You can also try Tai Chi or breathing exercises.
Starting yoga can be as simple as following an instructional video, like this one on basic poses for beginners. You can also look online to find a class near you.
Creative Outlets
Accessing your creative side is another great way to express your emotions in a healthy manner. Whether you keep your creativity to yourself or decide to share your gifts with others, the process of personal creation or experiencing the talents of others can be very cathartic. Your level of talent is not important, what is important is learning about yourself while having fun, you might even surprise yourself with how talented you really are. Here are some suggestions to get you started:
Writing can be a great way to sift through and make more sense of your thoughts and feelings. Sometimes it is easier to get a handle on why you are thinking or feeling a certain way once you make your thoughts tangible. Writing poetry, comedy, fiction, creative nonfiction, journaling or blogging are all possible outlets. If you want to share this process with the world, try Wordpress, an online community where you can set up a blog for free.
Going to a museum or making art yourself can be a great stress reliever. Art is subjective and can be anything from drawing, painting, sculpting or crafting-just to name a few. Check your local newspaper for art classes or shows. Art supplies do not have to be expensive; you can start simply with a small piece of paper and a pencil. Check out artshow.com for tips and art shows near you.
Listening to music is a great way to relax or to help you motivate for a workout. Pandora.com is a free Internet radio station where you enter a song or band that you like and then songs from that artist and other similar artists will play automatically. Making music is also an option. It is never too late to pick up an instrument, all it takes is practice. Check your local newspaper for music classes.
Free dance, taking a dance class or going out dancing with friends are all great ways to have fun. Dancing does not have to be done with others; sometimes no one is a better dance partner than yourself. The best dancing often takes place behind closed doors, in your pajamas to your favorite song.
Create a Sanctuary
Creating and decorating your own special space can give you a place to help you unwind after a long day or to jumpstart your chosen creative outlet. This space could be a bedroom, nook, staircase or your favorite chair. Decorating doesnt have to be expensive either, try making your own art and looking through yard sales for unique treasures. This space should make you feel positive and safe, then just sit back and let the relaxation and creation flow.
My Recovery and Meditation
When I speak before groups, people ask what I think caused my mental illness. I talk about trauma as well as spiritual, social, biological and psychological elements. In my experience, all of these issues are implicated but never fully explain my illness.
I am capable of creating panic beyond my control, one anxious thought leading to another. It is what Dr. Abraham Low identifies as working ones self up. What will happen with my job? Is it safe to fly on September 11? Will I panic? Will I end up in the hospital? Will I lose everything I have?
My panic and my paranoia are a reality that I create subconsciously. A world created by words. I take medication. I now take one medication in low doses. Without this medication, the fear is too great for me to overcome. I lose the sense of reality and the emotionally loaded thoughts become screaming voices which become more and more real until they seem my only reality. But medication doesnt do the complete job. I practice meditation, too.
Without meditation, I still endure panic attacks and voices. After years of meditation and self analysis, and now work with a psychiatrist who actually knows depth psychotherapy, I still need to constantly train myself in mindfulness and compassion. I found that fear and anxiety are caused by craving, or attachment to something or someone as if it will last in its present form forever. By learning to tolerate feelings and letting go of ideas one learns to live with how one feels, one ceases to fear fear itself or despair over despair.
Today, I feel joy, love and peace often, in spite of the continued existence of uncomfortable mental states. Without the combination of meditation and medication, I would be in and out of the hospital very frequently. I havent had a panic attack in several years and I have ceased to hear voices.

Ottawa Senators Details
|All NHL Tickets
|See all NHL tickets
2013 Stanley Cup Playoff Team - Ottawa SenatorsOne of the least likely participants in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs is the Ottawa Senators. It's not that the Senators had few expectations at the beginning of the short regular season, but rather it's that Ottawa seemed to have another star suffer a significant injury every other week. Centerman Jason Spezza played only five games this year and is probably out for the first round of the 2013 NHL Playoffs. Defending Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson suffered a gruesome cut to his Achilles tendon in a freak play against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has somehow managed to recover in miraculous time and joined the team in the last week of the season to prepare for their first round matchup against the Montreal Canadiens.
Goaltending was the key component that kept the Ottawa Senators in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoff conversation. Craig Anderson was a magician in between the pipes, leading the NHL in GAA for much of the season and making dazzling saves in high volumes over the course of the season. Because of their depth at the position, the Senators made a trade deadline move with the Tampa Bay Lightning to acquire young scoring threat Cory Conacher. They're hoping some young energy, paired with playoff veterans like Captain Daniel Alfredsson and Sergei Gonchar, will help the Senators defeat bitter national rival Montreal Canadiens. The cities are close together geographically and the fans despise the other franchise. This will be a tightly contested and bitter seven-game showdown. Can the Ottawa Senators continue to surprise the analysts and overcome injury to make a 2013 NHL Playoff run?
Ottawa Senators Stanley Cup Playoff Opponent
Ottawa wasn't guaranteed a playoff spot until their victories over the last weekend of the NHL regular season including a victory over the Boston Bruins. They will need to defend their home ice at ScotiaBank Place and steal a victory on the road if they hope to win a first round series against the Montreal Canadiens. The teams split their season series, each winning both games at home.

NHL Playoff Preview - Ottawa Senators
Ottawa Senators - Because It's the Cup
Senators - Candiens Shootout - 2/25/2013
3/25/15: The Ottawa Senators' coaching staff finally got the same memo that fans have known about for weeks. Their best chance to win is with a hot goalie and they have one. Andrew "The Hamburglar" Hammond has continued his sizzling play and is now getting the starting nod in crunch time. The Sens really bolstered their campaign by beating Boston, whom they are chasing for the last playoff spot, in regulation last week. With about 10 games left in the regular season, Ottawa is still on the outside, but seems to get closer every day - and that is thanks to Hammond.
3/18/15: The Ottawa Senators continued their remarkable late season push to get into the playoffs last week by dominating the Montreal Canadiens 5-2. The Sens opted against going with Andrew "The Hamburglar" Hammond versus the Boston Bruins, claiming that Craig Anderson gave them the best chance to win. That did not work out, so they went back to The Hamburglar against Montreal. Hammond has been outstanding since getting called up and has not lost a game in regulation. He became the first goalie since 1938 to allow two or less goals in his first nine starts and may be the starter going forward.
3/11/15: Heading into the final stretch of the season, the Ottawa Senators find themselves not too far removed from a playoff spot. A lot of that has to do with the play of undrafted goaltender Andrew Hammond. He was named the NHL's first star of the week two weeks ago and continued his improbable run in a 3-1 win over Winnipeg. The Hamburglar, as he is nicknamed, has started 6-0-1 in his first seven games and sports an impressive 1.35 goals against average with an outstanding .957 save percentage, plus two shutouts. If this keeps up, the Senators will be playing meaningful games in a few weeks.
3/4/15: It may be a little too late in the season for a dramatic comeback that can get the Ottawa Senators into the playoffs, but they still have an outside shot at getting to the postseason. They took a big step last week, thanks to an undrafted free agent. Goalie Andrew Hammond recorded consecutive shutouts to give the Senators four much needed points (and their fourth straight win). The second shut out was against the scorching hot Los Angeles Kings, who had won eight in a row before hosting the Sens. Hammond's nickname is the Hamburgler and he has an amazing drawing of the character on his goalie mask.
2/25/15: The NHL has gotten a lot more active on cutting down on dangerous hits over the past couple of years by suspending players on a seemingly regular basis. This week's installment of NHL reviews features Ottawa Senators defenseman Jared Cowen, who leveled Jussi Jokinen of the Florida Panthers last Saturday. The hearing for the offense was held on Monday and the NHL decided that it warranted a three game suspension. The NHL has been a bit uneven on their discipline lately and they could make a good case that he deserves only two games based on other recent punishments.
2/18/15: The Ottawa Senators continue to be the definition of average. Through 54 games, they sat at 22-22-10 with an even goal differential. That is not just balancing out of the season, it is ongoing, as they are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games. They have been slightly better at home, with 12 wins versus 9 losses (and five ties). Perhaps they can use that slight home ice advantage this week when the host the Montreal Canadiens tonight and the Florida Panthers on Saturday. The Senators then head to the West Coast for a road trip against some Pacific Division teams.
2/11/15: While there has not been much to celebrate in Ottawa this season - the highlight of the year so far may be the warm tribute they gave former captain Jason Spezza upon his return to the Canadian Capital City a few weeks ago - but they were able to celebrate one of their own last week. Chris Phillips, who was the number one pick of the Senators nearly two decades ago, passed Daniel Alfredsson for the franchise record in games played with 1,179 last Thursday. Even the visiting Washington Capitals were impressed, as they left the bench to congratulate Phillips for the achievement. That good will only lasted so long, as the Caps went on to win the game 2-1.
2/5/15: The Ottawa Senators displayed their class last week when the Dallas Stars came to town for the first time this season. Dallas is the new home of Jason Spezza, who spent 11 seasons in Ottawa and was named the captain after Daniel Alfredsson left. Alfredsson, by the way, will receive a key to the city after playing 17 of his 18 NHL seasons with the Senators. But this was Spezza's night. The Senators showed a nice tribute for Spezza during the game and the team and their fans greeted their former star graciously (after booing him the first time he touched the puck). The only thing that would have been better is if the Senators would have won, but fell 6-3.
1/28/15: Ottawa is still in the playoff race at the All Star break, but will need a very strong second half of the season to make it to the postseason. The Senators are a mediocre 19-18-9 at the break, sometimes showing flashes of brilliance and sometimes struggling. One reason for their struggles are slumping players who get big salaries, such as Colin Greening. Greening has been a healthy scratch for the last five games and GM Bryan Murray admits that he has not been able to trade Greening and may put him on waivers after the break. Greening is in the second year of a three year, $8 million contract but has not contributed much this season.
1/21/15: The Ottawa Senators have not made much of this season, though goaltender Craig Anderson has been outstanding. His numbers are solid: .929 save percentage and 2.30 goals against average. That is even more impressive considering how much the Senators have struggled defensively this season. So it is no surprise that his name is being floated out in trade rumors. There are a number of possible playoff teams that need an upgrade in net, such as Winnipeg and Minnesota. It would be tough to lose a great goalie, but the Senators could bring in a king's ransom with a trade.
1/14/15: As a rule of thumb, a team has to be 10 games over .500 or better in order to qualify for the playoffs. That does not bode well for the Ottawa Senators who are only a single game over breakeven. The team has done a decent job of keeping the puck out of their own net, but does have trouble scoring and is just over 2.5 goals per game. They own a -3 goal differential, which indicates a lot of low scoring and close games. Ottawa is home this week and will host Montreal on Thursday, followed by Carolina on Saturday.
1/7/15: The Ottawa Senators finished out the 2014 calendar year with an adequate 15-14-7 record, and a 5-3-2 record in their previous 10 games. While that is above .500, it is not nearly good enough to earn a playoff spot. The Senators have been good at home, posting an 8-4-4 record (somehow only playing 16 home games thus far), but have struggled on the road with a 7-10-3 mark. At some point, they have to play some home games, but not this week as they are in Colorado on Thursday and Arizona on Saturday. The good news is that both of those teams have struggled all season and it is a great chance to pick up four points.
12/3/14: Buffalo is having a tough season, and many 'experts' believe that they have a roster that needs a lot of development. Indeed, they started off pretty miserably, but have been on fire lately. And they are not just beating scrub teams, they have won five of their past six, which includes back to back wins against Montreal. The Sabres have a long way to go before they are in the mix to make the playoffs, but their recent play has to be encouraging for the team and fan base. The Sabres are on the road this week at Tampa and Florida before coming home to host the Kings and Flames.
11/19/14: Ottawa has compiled a nice 8-4-4 record through 16 games. The only downside is that they sit fourth in the Atlantic Division, which has been pretty strong because of good starts by the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning. There may be change coming to the roster soon, though. Recent reports say that both the Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim Ducks are interested in veteran defenseman Marc Methot. Methot does not fit in the current scheme and is the final year of his contract - with negotiations going nowhere. In any case, the Senators are playing well and have home games against Nashville on Thursday and St. Louis on Saturday.
11/12/14: The Ottawa Senator are kind of like the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings. They are all solid teams, but unspectacular so far. They all have good records (Ottawa is in fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 7-3-3 record), but could suffer from being in a good division. Ottawa is not scoring a lot of goals, well less than three per game, but they have only allowed 29 in 13 games, which is outstanding. If they can get some offense going, then they may well be a very dangerous team in a few months. The Senators are on a West Coast road trip this week with games in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary.
11/5/14: Get ready for a week of home games for the Senators. Aside from hosting the Red Wings last night, they have Minnesota on Thursday, Winnipeg on Saturday and Toronto on Sunday. The Senators are in the middle of the pack in the Atlantic Division right now, but are holding their own. The good news is that all the teams ahead of Ottawa have played more games. The Senators do need to start scoring more goals. Their 2.8 goals per game average is not likely to hold up throughout the year, though their 2.6 goals against average is pretty solid.
10/29/14: The unthinkable hit the great City of Ottawa last week when at least two gunmen carried out an attack on government personnel and buildings. Every news outlet has information on the attack for those that are looking for more details. We can only hope this is the last time we must face such a terrible tragedy. In light of the situation last Wednesday, the scheduled game between the Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs was postponed and will be played another day. The game is trivial in comparison to the situation and all thoughts are with the victims, their families and good people of Ottawa.
10/22/14: The American and Canadian press have been busy covering such important items like the Washington Capitals attending the D.C. premier of the new Brad Pitt movie and an angry Maple Leafs fan throwing his replica jersey on the ice in disgust. Meanwhile, the Ottawa Senators have quietly been going about their business and picking up wins. They knocked off the reigning Central Division champion Colorado Avalanche last week and won three of their first four games. In that time, they are giving up only two goals a game. The Senators have a couple home games this week, hosting Toronto on Wednesday and the Devils on Saturday.
10/15/14: The Ottawa Senators are a team that has historically been defined by having great regular seasons but not being able to find playoff success. The hope, as always, is that this season will be different. They got off to an unassuming start to the regular season, falling 3-2 to the Nashville Predators on the road. But they are starting a home stand this week, hosting the Colorado Avalanche, Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs. Ottawa has a pretty good roster when examined, so they may end up being a surprise team in the NHL this season.

Hey Guys! It's been a while, I know! I'm doing well, though, nestled up in Pennsylvania now and still enjoying knitting any chance I get.
I was recently asked by about 30 people to knit scarves. Being that I am neither fast, nor rich (no one offered to pay) I only agreed to knit a scarf for the one in 30 who mattered the most, My sister. In the spirit of posting projects for the rest of you to see...Sorry guys, it is not one of Mark's AWESOME sweaters...here is my very simple scarf....
Well, if you don't toot your own horn from time to time, there may not be any music at all. So there. ;-)
I first published this pattern to the GLBT knit-list (http://www.glbt-knit.com/ ) in late 2002. After unexpectedly coming across a hard copy of the post, I went over the pattern and decided it had to be redone.
Does anyone know where I can get this pattern? It looks like it might be crochet. Since I don't crochet, I would need it "translated" as well. Ideas?
Seattle Men Who Knit is alive and well in 2013!
Our first meetings after the 2011 Men's Knitting Retreat have grown, and we are now meeting 2nd and 4th Thursdays at Elliott Bay Cafe on Capitol Hill (10th Avenue between Pike and Pine, one block east of Broadway, in the back of Elliott Bay Booksellers) from 7-9 PM.
Here is more quick knits, for those really cold climates. But I do think he needs a scarf.
Here is a mitten some of you may like to try. It is knit up quickly, and should be quite warm and toasty. What do you think?
Hello everyone! It's been longer than I had anticipated, but better late than never to blog about recent knits.
As I mentioned in the previous entry, I have been expanding my knitting skills and repertoire since I've moved to Minnesota and met the wonderful Jenni at the Twisted Loop. So I shall briefly recap those finished projects.
I had some left over yarn from the Christmas stockings I made recently and ran across this pattern. Double knitting? Why not? LOL OMG I had to frog this 4-5 times before I got the hang of it! I am now making one in cranberry and oatmeal...then packing them both away in all the Christmas stuff for next year.
Hi Boys!

Has anyone played the two courses at Berry? The main campus course is wide open. The Mountain course is more shaded and treed. Plenty of deer make for good alternate targets.
Just curious.

3M EC100 Rite-Lok Instant Adhesive Glue is a low-medium viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive that is fast curing and useful for general purpose bonding. It is a single component, high strength ethyl cyanoacrylate liquid adhesive which is designed to bond to a variety of substances including most plastics, rubbers, metals, and other common substrates.
Some tips for applying 3M EC100:
(1 to 9 bottles)
(10 to 29 bottles)
(30 to 49 bottles)
(>= 50 bottles)
* see individual bottle price to left
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

I was approached by a person wanting to help me set up a website. In order to do this he has requested that I allow him to transfer my domain name to his account, for easier management. I would retain the right of usage and he would pay the bill for maintaining the name. This sounds fishy, but I can't figure out what he hopes to gain if this is a scam. Is this a common practice among 'Administrative Contacts'?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Webmasters Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for pro webmasters. It's 100% free, no registration required.
If you transfer the domain, then you no longer own it and he can do whatever he wants with it. When your site starts bringing in traffic, he's free to cut off contact with you and profit from it. Even if he doesn't plan to scam you it's a bad idea because you lose control. You won't retain any rights unless he allows them.
It may be common in some cases (less tech savvy customers), but it's a bad practice.
There's no reason for them to have ownership of your domain and they know it. That right there tells me they are probably up to no good. The only management you would need to do is with DNS and you can do that on your own. Everything else related to a website would be handled on the server.

Report a bear problem (Bear Wise)
How to prevent — or report — an encounter with a black bear.
Recommended for you
Report a bear problem
Emergency encounters
Call 911 or local police, if a bear poses an immediate threat to personal safety:
- enters a school yard when school is in session
- enters or tries to enter a residence
- wanders into a public gathering
- kills livestock/pets and lingers at the site
- stalks people and lingers at the site
Non-emergency encounters
Call the Bear Wise reporting line: 1-866-514-2327 (April 1-November 30)
If a bear is:
- roaming around, checking garbage cans
- breaking into a shed where garbage or food is stored
- in a tree
- pulling down a bird feeder or knocking over a barbecue
- moving through a backyard or field but is not lingering
How to prevent encounters
Never purposely feed bears (or other wildlife) or try to approach them.
Limit food sources
- put garbage in containers that have tight-fitting lids, and put them out only on the morning of garbage day, not the night before (you can purchase specially designed bear-resistant containers, which work best)
- take garbage to the dump often, if you do not have curbside pick-up
- frequently wash garbage cans, recycling containers and lids with a strong-smelling disinfectant
- fill bird feeders only through the winter months
- put away feeders in the spring and instead, offer birds natural alternatives (e.g., flowers, nesting boxes, fresh water)
- do not leave pet food outdoors, in screened- in areas or porches
- do not put meat, fish or fruit in composters outside (keep scraps in the freezer until garbage day)
- pick all ripe fruit from trees and bushes and fallen fruit off the ground
- remove grease and food residue from barbecue grills, including the grease cup underneath, after each use
- inform cottage renters of how to avoid attracting bears to the property
Keep your eyes and ears open
- travel in groups of 2 or more (bear attacks occur primarily on people who are alone)
- make noise as you move through areas where visibility is restricted or where background noise is high, such as near streams and waterfalls (e.g., singing, whistling or talking will alert bears to your presence, giving them a chance to avoid you)
while outdoors, keep your eyes and ears open:
- scan your surroundings to check for bears
- do not wear music headphones
- watch for signs of bear activity (e.g., tracks, claw marks on trees, flipped-over rocks or fresh bear droppings)
- if you are out with a dog, leash it (uncontrolled, untrained dogs may actually lead a bear to you)
- pay attention, especially if you are working, gardening or berry picking
- occasionally scan your surroundings to check for bears
- rise slowly if you are in a crouched position so that you don't startle nearby bears
Take safety precautions
- carry and have a readily-accessible whistle or air horn
- learn how to use bear pepper spray and carry it readily accessible
- consider carrying a long-handled axe, if you are in "remote areas or deep in the forest"
If you encounter a bear
Stop. Do not panic. Remain calm.
Take these steps:
- quickly assess the situation and try to determine which type of an encounter this might be – sighting, surprise or close encounter
- do not try to get closer to the bear for a better look or picture
- make sure the bear has a clear escape route — don't corner a bear
- always watch the bear and slowly back away until the bear is out of sight
- get inside, if you are near a building or vehicle
- leave the area, if you are berry-picking, hiking, camping, jogging or cycling
- if you are with others, stay together and act as a group
- if the bear does not get closer to you, slowly back away, talking to the bear in a quiet, monotone voice
Do not:
- scream
- turn your back on the bear
- run
- kneel down
- make direct eye contact
- climb a tree
- retreat into water or try and swim — a bear can do these things much better than you
If it is a close encounter:
- yell
- wave your arms to make yourself look bigger
- throw objects
- blow a whistle or an air horn
- make noise to try and persuade the bear to leave
- prepare to use bear pepper spray
If the bear keeps advancing toward you:
- stand your ground
- use your bear pepper spray (if the bear is within seven metres) or anything else you can find or use to threaten or distract the bear
- fight back as if your life depends on it
After the bear leaves:
- tell others about bear activity in the area
- if the bear was eating from a non-natural food source (like garbage or bird food), remove or secure the item that attracted the bear
Bear behaviours/warning signals
When bears are caught off guard, they are stressed, and usually just want to flee. These are all warning signals bears give to let you know you are too close.
Stand on its hind legs
A bear usually stands to get a better look at you or 'catch your scent'. This is not aggressive behaviour.
Act defensively
If a bear feels threatened by your presence, it may try to get you to back off and leave it alone. To do this, it may:
- salivate excessively, exhale loudly, or make huffing, moaning, clacking and popping sounds with its mouth, teeth and jaws
- lower its head with its ears drawn back while facing you
- charge forward, and/or swat the ground with its paws (known as a 'bluff' charge)
Make noise
Generally, the noisier the bear is, the less dangerous it is, provided you don't approach the bear. The noise is meant to 'scare' you off and acts as a warning signal.
About black bears
Bears usually avoid humans.
Black bears live throughout most of Ontario. They primarily inhabit forested areas where they are best able to find food, refuge and den sites.
Eating habits and diet
Their entire life revolves around food. When they are not hibernating, bears spend most of their time looking for food.
From the time they come out of hibernation until berry crops are available, bears live off their stored fat and the limited energy provided by fresh spring greens. They get most of their food energy by feeding on summer berry crops like blueberries, raspberries, and cherries. In the fall, they turn their attention to hazel nuts, mountain ash, acorns and beech nuts.
Though black bears will eat carrion, insects, fish, deer fawns and moose calves, the bulk of their diet is plant material. Their natural preference is to find lots of high energy food – like berry patches – that will help them fatten up fast. Their survival and ability to have and raise young depend on their ability to double their weight before going into winter hibernation.
The availability of their natural food varies from season to season and from year to year. When natural food sources are poor, black bears will travel long distances to seek out alternative sources of food.
Bear-human interactions
Bears usually avoid humans. But they are attracted into urban and rural areas to get food. They will topple bird feeders, ransack barbecues, raid garbage cans and even try to enter buildings. If they learn that they can find food where people live, bears will return again and again.
Human Bear conflicts
Most human-bear conflicts occur when bears are attracted by smells and rewarded with an easy meal.
When bears pick up a scent with their keen noses, they will investigate it.
If bears are rewarded with feasts of bird food, garbage or pet food, they will return as long as the food source is available.
About attacks
Black bear attacks are extremely rare.
A black bear may attack if it:
- feels threatened
- is a predatory bear
Threatened bears
A bear may attack if it perceives you to be a threat to it, its cubs or it may be defending food - this is a defensive bear that wants more space between you and it.
Predatory bears
A predatory bear attack is very rare. These attacks usually occur in rural or remote areas. Predatory bears approach silently, and may continue to approach regardless of your attempts to deter them by yelling or throwing rocks.
What to do if a bear attacks
- use your pepper spray
- fight back with everything you have — in a predatory attack, your life is at risk
- do not play dead except in the rare instance when you are sure a mother bear is attacking you in defense of cubs and your initial attempts to deter the bear have been unsuccessful (especially true for children or small-bodied adults)
Lethal force (dispatch a bear)
It's best to prevent encounters with bears in the first place.
But if a bear continues to be a problem — and you've exhausted all other alternatives — as a property owner, you have the right to protect your personal property and yourself.
Any action you take must be:
- carried out with the most humane means possible
- done in a safe manner
- in accordance with any applicable laws (e.g., discharging a firearm by-laws)
You do not need a hunting licence. But if you kill a black bear, you must report it immediately to your local Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry office.
If you want to keep the dead animal for personal use, you must register for what's called a Notice of Possession with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
It is strongly advised that killing a bear in self-defence be an action of last resort.

Sub-tropical, drought tolerant fruit tree. Figs are possibly the very first domesticated fruit. Their is evidence of fig cultivation as early as 4,000 B.C. The sweetest develop when the daytime temperature regularly exceeds 95°F. Figs thrive in most soil types, as long as well-drained and will fruit in a variety of climates. Mature trees are hardy to 15°F. Will re-grow from roots if winter-killed. Trees grow to 25' tall and 40' wide if not pruned. Figs need warm soil for their roots to start growing. Figs do not like to be planted as bare-roots and are difficult to establish, so we sell these No. 1 size trees (2' to 3') in pots to enhance their survival rate. Trees are 1 year old and should begin to fruit in same year you plant them.
Check out our Fruit Tree Harvest Chart to plan for successive harvests.

When It Comes To Fund Raising and GOTV Efforts, Democrats are Playing Three Dimensional Chess While Republicans are Playing Tic-Tac-Toe
The GOP is behind the Democrats in numbers and one of the biggest ones is our get-out-the-vote and fund raising effort. In fact, it is entirely possible that if Mitt Romney had Barack Obama's GOTV campaign in place while Obama was saddled the disastrous Project ORCA that the GOP used, it might have been enough to swing the entire election.
Sound preposterous? Well, keep in mind that Project Orca wasn't as good as Obama's campaign to begin with, was poorly executed and crashed in swing states all across the country on election day. Meanwhile, these excerpts will give you an idea of how sophisticated the Democratic GOTV campaigns have become.
In late spring, the backroom number crunchers who powered Barack Obama's campaign to victory noticed that George Clooney had an almost gravitational tug on West Coast females ages 40 to 49. The women were far and away the single demographic group most likely to hand over cash, for a chance to dine in Hollywood with Clooney – and Obama.
So as they did with all the other data collected, stored and analyzed in the two-year drive for re-election, Obama's top campaign aides decided to put this insight to use. They sought out an East Coast celebrity who had similar appeal among the same demographic, aiming to replicate the millions of dollars produced by the Clooney contest. "We were blessed with an overflowing menu of options, but we chose Sarah Jessica Parker," explains a senior campaign adviser.
…But from the beginning, campaign manager Jim Messina had promised a totally different, metric-driven kind of campaign in which politics was the goal but political instincts might not be the means. "We are going to measure every single thing in this campaign," he said after taking the job. He hired an analytics department five times as large as that of the 2008 operation, with an official "chief scientist" for the Chicago headquarters named Rayid Ghani, who in a previous life crunched huge data sets to, among other things, maximize the efficiency of supermarket sales promotions.
…Early on, for example, the campaign discovered that people who had unsubscribed from the 2008 campaign e-mail lists were top targets, among the easiest to pull back into the fold with some personal attention. The strategists fashioned tests for specific demographic groups, trying out message scripts that they could then apply. They tested how much better a call from a local volunteer would do than a call from a volunteer from a non—swing state like California. As Messina had promised, assumptions were rarely left in place without numbers to back them up.
…The magic tricks that opened wallets were then repurposed to turn out votes. The analytics team used four streams of polling data to build a detailed picture of voters in key states. In the past month, said one official, the analytics team had polling data from about 29,000 people in Ohio alone – a whopping sample that composed nearly half of 1% of all voters there – allowing for deep dives into exactly where each demographic and regional group was trending at any given moment. This was a huge advantage: when polls started to slip after the first debate, they could check to see which voters were changing sides and which were not.
It was this database that helped steady campaign aides in October's choppy waters, assuring them that most of the Ohioans in motion were not Obama backers but likely Romney supporters whom Romney had lost because of his September blunders. "We were much calmer than others," said one of the officials. The polling and voter-contact data were processed and reprocessed nightly to account for every imaginable scenario. "We ran the election 66,000 times every night," said a senior official, describing the computer simulations the campaign ran to figure out Obama's odds of winning each swing state. "And every morning we got the spit-out – here are your chances of winning these states. And that is how we allocated resources."
The data crunchers at Wal-Mart can tell you how much they're making per square foot of shelf space in a particular department. They can tell the effect of moving a product from the top shelf, to the bottom shelf. They can do the same sort of thing with fliers that are mailed to their customers. A thirty year old single mother may be sent an advertisement that pushes baby clothes and formula, while a single male of the same age has electronics promoted in same space. This is the sort of marketing research that the Obama campaign applied to its fund raising and GOTV efforts.
The good news is that if the GOP is smart and hires the right people (Ha, ha, ha), it should be able to come close to matching these efforts by the mid-terms. Go to Amazon, Facebook, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Food Lion, etc., etc., hire away 3-4 of the data crunchers who do this stuff for a living, give them a crew of statistics nerd to work with and turn them loose. Since the Democrats are ahead of us in this area, we have a lot more room to grow than they do and it's entirely possible we could have a much bigger than expected fund raising and turnout bump in the next couple of elections….IF we don't keep insisting on continuing to make the same mistakes because so many of the people with sway in the GOP are uncomfortable with technology.
