|Jeana Frazzini, Co-Director:
Jeana Frazzini serves as Co-Director of Basic Rights Oregon, working to ensure that all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Oregonians experience equality by building a broad and inclusive politically powerful movement, shifting public opinion, and achieving policy victories. Jeana served as the Executive Director of Basic Rights Oregon for seven years, until she transitioned to the Co-Director in April 2015. During her tenure, Basic Rights Oregon has won the freedom to marry for all couples in Oregon, increased access to transgender-inclusive healthcare through private and public insurance, passed the Oregon Safe Schools Act, and successfully defended and implemented non-discrimination and domestic partnership laws. In addition to achieving policy victories, Basic Rights Oregon has built longstanding relationships with coalition partners, leading to a more inclusive statewide LGBTQ movement. Under Jeana's leadership, the organization has developed a strong racial justice component, prioritized ally work, and trained activists across the state to fight for social justice for all Oregonians impacted by discrimination. Jeana's work at Basic Rights Oregon continues a lifelong passion of fighting against injustice. Growing up in rural Eastern Washington, Jeana experienced first-hand the confusion, fear and isolation that many LGBTQ people face. Since college, Jeana has worked as an advocate for progressive causes spanning human rights to environmental justice. After six years as political director for the Death with Dignity National Center, Jeana first joined the Basic Rights Oregon staff in 2005 as Development Director. (Pronouns: She/Her)
|Nancy Haque, Co-Director:
A long-time social justice activist, Nancy Haque joined the Basic Rights Oregon staff in April 2015 as the agency's first Co-Director. Nancy has more than 18 years of professional experience, including seven years as the Building Political Power Director at Western States Center, where she led a voter organizing training and empowerment project and managed the 2013 Racial Equity Report Card for Oregon. Previously, Nancy spent eight years working on economic justice issues, including stints with Portland Jobs with Justice, National AFL-CIO and National Jobs with Justice.

She credits growing up in the DC area and having an awesome older brother with giving her inspiration and opportunity to become politically engaged at a young age, starting with a Rock Against Reagan concert in 4th grade. She furthered her activism when she moved to the Pacific Northwest in college, studying at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. She also holds a Master's of Public Policy and Administration from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A member of the Basic Rights Oregon Board of Directors from 2011-14, Nancy worked as a consultant on the organization's strategic planning process in 2014.

Originally joining staff in the Summer of 2012 as the Trans Justice Fellow, he returned in August of 2013 to manage the behind the scenes financial, human resources, and operations processes. With his Bachelors in Public Policy and Administration, soon to be Masters of Public Administration in Nonprofit Management, and his potentially unhealthy obsession with information systems, Cameron is well equipped to ensure that all internal processes are as efficient, effective, and strategic as possible. When not drooling over the endless possibilities of Excel spreadsheets and databases, Cameron enjoys spending time with his tiny evil dog, critically analyzing variations of the zombie apocalypse, and forming outfits around the dapper sock-suspenders his mother bought him.

ABSTRACT: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion from an insulin pump depends on reliable transfer of the pumped insulin to the subcutaneous insulin depot by means of an insulin infusion set (IIS). Despite their widespread use, the published knowledge about IISs and related issues regarding the impact of placement and wear time on insulin absorption/insulin action is relatively small. We also have to acknowledge that our knowledge is limited with regard to how often patients encounter issues with IISs. Reading pump wearer blogs, for instance, suggests that these are a frequent source of trouble. There are no prospective clinical studies available on current IIS and insulin formulations that provide representative data on the type and frequency of issues with infusion sets. The introduction of new IISs and patch pumps may foster a reassessment of available products and of patient problems related to their use. The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge and recommendations about IISs and to highlight potential directions of IIS development in order to make insulin absorption safer and more efficient.Journal of diabetes science and technology 07/2012; 6(4):954-64. DOI:10.1177/193229681200600429
Article: Clinical Performance of a Device That Applies Local Heat to the Insulin Infusion Site: A Crossover Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fast-acting insulin analogs have been available since 1996. The absorption rate of these insulins is still too slow to mimic the physiological insulin action in healthy subjects. This study investigates the clinical performance of InsuPatch™, a local skin-heating device, on postprandial glucose excursion. Twenty-four type 1 diabetes mellitus subjects on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion were included in this crossover study [10 male, 14 female, age: 43.5 ± 11.3 years, diabetes duration: 18.3 ± 10.5 years, glycosylated hemoglobin: 7.4 ± 0.8%, body mass index: 25.0 ± 3.0 kg/m(2) (mean ± standard deviation)]. The impact of local skin heating was measured by dividing the two-hour area under the curve by integration time (AUC/t(120)) for blood glucose (BG) above baseline after two standardized breakfast and dinner meal pairs (with and without heating) per subject. For the first breakfast pair, venous insulin concentration was also measured. A significant reduction was found for the AUC/t(120) after breakfast and after dinner meals (42 breakfast meal pairs, AUC/t(120) not heated 66.4 ± 32.8 mg/dl vs heated 56.8 ± 34.0 mg/dl, p = .017; 38 dinner meal pairs, AUC/t(120) not heated 30.8 ± 31.0 mg/dl vs heated 18.4 ± 23.9 mg/dl, p = .0028). The maximum venous insulin concentration with heating was 27% higher than without heating (n = 23). The number of hypoglycemic events on days with heating (n = 9) was similar to the number of days without heating (n = 13). Local heating of the skin around the infusion site significantly reduced postprandial BG by enhancing insulin absorption. The heating device was well tolerated, and it could facilitate development of closed-loop systems.Journal of diabetes science and technology 03/2012; 6(2):320-7. DOI:10.1177/193229681200600215

Article: Changes in Basal Insulin Infusion Rates With Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion: Time until a change in metabolic effect is induced in patients with type 1 diabetes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the time required until a change in the basal insulin infusion rate with an insulin pump induces subsequent changes in the metabolic effect. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this euglycemic glucose clamp study, 10 male subjects with type 1 diabetes received three different subcutaneous insulin infusion rates (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 units/h; for 4 h each) of insulin lispro (IL) with insulin pumps. RESULTS An increase in insulinemia occurred within 15-30 min after changing the infusion rate. While the serum IL levels reached a steady state at the end of the infusion period, the glucose infusion rates did not always reach steady-state levels with the higher infusion rates. However, an increase in the glucose consumption occurred within 30-60 min after switching the infusion rate. CONCLUSIONS Several hours are required until a new steady state in the metabolic effect is achieved after a significant change in basal insulin infusion.Diabetes care 07/2009; 32(8):1437-9.

1. After station 9NEWS in Denver discovered this Twitter account of Carly "CarlyCrunkBear" McKinney, a first-year 10th-grade math teacher, McKinney made the lewd account private.
2. But Topsy.com has a collection of her pot-smoking, NSFW tweets and pictures.
4. The 23-year-old teacher regularly tweeted about smoking weed and used hashtags largely associated with rave and drug culture, like #PLURVibes.
6. She also regularly tweeted revealing photos of herself.
7. She told 9NEWS that while the photos were of her, she was unaware that her friend was posting them to the @Crunk_bear account.
8. McKinney told 9NEWS that the account was actually a parody that her friend was tweeting from, denying that she has ever brought drugs on to her school's campus.
11. A representative from the Cherry Creek School District has confirmed, however, that McKinney has been placed on administrative leave.
13. The marijuana-related tweets are being taken the most seriously. While Colorado has legalized marijuana for personal use, it is still against the law to bring it on school grounds.

Not very loud. I purchased to use as noise makers for a suprise birthday party, but some were breaking apart from the beginning and they weren't noisey at all. I wouldn't use this item again.

So say I have my master branch, and I create feature-x branch to work on a new feature. I do several commits into feature-x, rebase feature-x from master and then do a non fast-forward merge from feature-x branch to the master branch.
Now what happens to my commit history if I then delete the feature-x branch?
I am doing a non-ff merge because after reading an article (that I agree with) it's easier to keep track of feature specific changes and the full lifecycle of features by doing non-ff merges.

The genetic study of three population microisolates in South Tyrol (MICROS): study design and epidemiological perspectives

BMC Medical Genetics 2007, 8:29 doi:10.1186/1471-2350-8-29Published: 5 June 2007
There is increasing evidence of the important role that small, isolated populations could play in finding genes involved in the etiology of diseases. For historical and political reasons, South Tyrol, the northern most Italian region, includes several villages of small dimensions which remained isolated over the centuries.
The MICROS study is a population-based survey on three small, isolated villages, characterized by: old settlement; small number of founders; high endogamy rates; slow/null population expansion. During the stage-1 (2002/03) genealogical data, screening questionnaires, clinical measurements, blood and urine samples, and DNA were collected for 1175 adult volunteers. Stage-2, concerning trait diagnoses, linkage analysis and association studies, is ongoing. The selection of the traits is being driven by expert clinicians. Preliminary, descriptive statistics were obtained. Power simulations for finding linkage on a quantitative trait locus (QTL) were undertaken.
Starting from participants, genealogies were reconstructed for 50,037 subjects, going back to the early 1600s. Within the last five generations, subjects were clustered in one pedigree of 7049 subjects plus 178 smaller pedigrees (3 to 85 subjects each). A significant probability of familial clustering was assessed for many traits, especially among the cardiovascular, neurological and respiratory traits. Simulations showed that the MICROS pedigree has a substantial power to detect a LOD score ≥ 3 when the QTL specific heritability is ≥ 20%.
The MICROS study is an extensive, ongoing, two-stage survey aimed at characterizing the genetic epidemiology of Mendelian and complex diseases. Our approach, involving different scientific disciplines, is an advantageous strategy to define and to study population isolates. The isolation of the Alpine populations, together with the extensive data collected so far, make the MICROS study a powerful resource for the study of diseases in many fields of medicine. Recent successes and simulation studies give us confidence that our pedigrees can be valuable both in finding new candidates loci and to confirm existing candidate genes.

From Our Editors
SwimLabs Swim School's instructors have two priorities: teaching kids and adults how to swim and helping competitive swimmers optimize their strokes. In addition to CPR and first-aid certifications backed by years of experience, the instructors are aided by swimming-pool technology. Their private and small-group lessons take place in SwimLabs Pools with adjustable currents, each about 10'x16' and heated to 90–92 degrees to prevent polar-bear infestations. The custom currents can give beginner students a boost or challenge advanced swimmers with more forceful resistance waves. As swimmers paddle against the current, the staff records their strokes with Dartfish video technology. They then analyze the results together, comparing the swimmer's form to a video of proper technique.

I have a simple app where I use global.asax to map a serviceroute to a wcf service through a custom servicehostfactory in Application_Start. The constructor of that service does some initial processing to set up the service which takes a bit of time.
I need this constructor to fire when its serviceroute is added automatically. I tried creating a clientchannel from global.asax and making a dummy call to spin up the service, but discovered the service isn't up yet -- it seems application_start has to return?
So how do I get the constructor of the service to fire when first mapped through global.asax without having to manually hit the service? Unfortunately AppFabric isn't an option for us, so I can't just use it's built-in autostart..
I was asked for a bit more detail;
This is like a routing management service. So I have Service1 -- it gets added as a serviceroute in global.asax. Now I have http://localhost/Service1
Inside Service1 I have a method called 'addServiceRoute'. When called, it also registers a route for Service2. Now I have http://localhost/Service1/Service2.
My initial solution from global.asax was to build a channelfactory to http://localhost/service1 but that wouldn't work. Service1 wasn't up yet and wouldn't come up till Application_Start returned (Still not sure why?). So then I thought I'd cheat and move that initial addserviceroute call to the constructor of service1. Also didn't work.
It was mentioned that this shouldnt be in the constructor -- i agree, this is just testing code.
A singleton was also mentioned, which might be ok, but I intend to have more than one instance of Service1 on a machine (in the same app pool) so I don't think that'll work?
** UPDATE #2 ** I was asked for sample code.. here it is from global.asax (trimmed a bit for brevity).. So http://localhost/Test DOES come up.. But if I have to use appfabric to warm up Test and get its constructor to fire, then don't I need Test.svc or something? How do I get appfabric to even see this service exists?
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
new ServiceRoute("Test", new MyServiceHostFactory(ITestService, BindingType.BasicHttpBinding, true), TestService));

Mercy Health takes #telemedicine farther with virtual facility: ow.ly/T5Iv4
You've heard of using video to arraign inmates, manufacture products, produce films, and even design clothing; but what about to build homes? Well IVCi customer K. Hovanian Homes, a nationally recognized home builder with headquarters in New Jersey and satellite offices across the company, is doing just that.

Recruiting is a high-stakes industry with everyone vying for the best and brightest candidates. Efficiency is crucial for recruiters; quickly sifting through applications and screening applicants can often make the difference between finding and missing the perfect candidate. As a result, more organizations are turning to video interviews to help qualify applicants faster and lower travel expenses. This can be quite the change for both seasoned veterans and those entering the workplace for the first time. Seasoned veterans may have a difficult time figuring out how to work the technology while first time applicants might have a difficult time with the professionalism …Read more
Significant advancements in video conferencing technology have allowed for greater accessibility and interoperability. As a result, video is becoming more integrated into consumers' professional and personal lives. This opens significant opportunity in business-to-consumer video which can have a dramatic impact on the way we view and receive healthcare. Picture yourself sitting in a waiting room with several other patients who all seem to be spreading their contagious ailments through coughing and sneezing.

When you think about collaboration what comes to mind? Perhaps you see a bunch of colleagues sitting around a table talking about different ideas or topics.

Henry Chao Deputy CIOCenters for Medicare and Medicaid Services Health and Human Services Department
The work: Creating a cloud-based system to support the Health Insurance Exchange program, a marketplace that offers affordable insurance options for families and small businesses.
The impact: Chao helped create a new pricing and licensing model that will save the government millions of dollars.
The nuts and bolts: The cloud architecture made it possible to build a virtual environment in which federal, state and commercial organizations could collaborate on the exchanges, a component of the health care reform law. Besides being eminently scalable, Chao's approach has reduced operational costs by enabling shared services and is now being used as a model for improving the efficiency of Medicare programs.
