National survey says many, not all, open to doctors talking about guns
In perhaps the first national survey of its kind, two-thirds of people sampled said it is at least sometimes appropriate for health care providers to talk to patients about firearms. The remainder said it is never appropriate.

By Tyler S. Clark (Contact)
Published April 21, 2009
An old college friend of mine asked me last week if I had attended a Tea Party. The first I heard about these was on Tax Day itself, which clearly means I don't watch enough cable news.
The movement — if that's what it is — was spawned by a rant on Feb. 19 from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange during a live report by the CNBC reporter — if that's what he is — Rick Santelli, suggesting that it was time to organize a "tea party" to protest government spending on failed mortgages.
The cable news networks took it from there. Fox News, after running more than 100 promos about its coverage of the event, which did a pretty effective job of marketing them at the same time, had wall-to-wall coverage on the anointed day and dispatched four of its leading hosts around the country to perform a kind of hybrid task, covering events that they also seemed to be leading.
My friend gushed about his experience, "I felt like part of history. Almost like you could roll the clock back 225 years and see the colonists assembling." Back then, the media were fiercely partisan, framing the day's news in terms of ideological leaning, so the comparison may be very appropriate indeed.
I have become exhausted by the talking heads, and I have watched very little news since the inauguration. It's just hard to get pumped up about the news when it's all about the miserable economy; and when it's not, it's this faux populism of the likes of Glenn Beck and Rick Santelli. Populism in pursuit of ratings, not politics.
If the goal were pure political progress, then the Republicans would have been crying foul for the last eight years while more money than has been dreamed of in President Obama's stimulus was poured down the drain of war in the Middle East.
And in Texas, Governor Rick Perry praised the assembled throng in Austin, whose cries of "Secede!" found no rebuke.
Afterward, he told reporters that Texas had come into the union with a unique right "to leave if we decided to do that." This is a beloved piece of state folklore despite its unfortunate drawback of being totally untrue.
Haven't we been hearing for the last eight years how we need to support the troops by supporting America and the President? I guess that was just if he was a Texan, and GOP, and named Bush.
So, spare me the rhetoric about bureaucratic spending. I'd rather spend a trillion dollars at home than abroad. Sure, it would be nice if we didn't have to spend anything, but when no one is spending, that's when the government has to fill the gap.
Just ask Alexander Hamilton; he would've understood.
Tyler; you are 110% right about this staged TEA PARTY; for Fox Cable it's all about the ratings. I do agree we are over due for a second revolution. We need to abolish the "Income Tax". 'We the People' are paying income tax on a VOLUNTARY basis. THERE IS NO LAW THAT STATES WE MUST PAY. THE IRS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!
Google 'American Fascism' by the late Aaron Russo.
Remember; 'It takes a Revolution to create a Solution.'
Isn't that one of the reasons why Jim Traficant was "Politically Linched" !!!!!!!!
I agree with the point about media, but I'm more bothered by the "objective" outlets than the clearly partisan ones. CNN for example follows the tired format of having two ideologically opposed talking heads argue over an issue; both spout half truths and party lines and the "journalists" make no attempt to differentiate which is telling the truth--"debate" has become the substitute for actual fact-finding and in the long run democracy suffers.
A common falsehood of the right wing is that 40% of people do not pay income tax. He even claimed that he piad taxes when he was making little money.
The fact is the people not paying "INCOME TAX" are paying nearly 15% in medicare and social security taxes which are in effect the same as income taxes since they go to pay the largest expenditures in the budget.
Of course Clark paid "INCOME TAXES" back when he worked for little money but his medicare and social security taxes were much smaller too.
The fact is anyone with a job that has any of the taxes taken out pays INCOME TAX and at rates sometimes much higher than the wealthy who derive much of their incomes from capital gains.
Well for one Obama has spent more in less than 100 days than GWB did in eight years. And that includes the war.
The interest alone on what he is spending will be pasted on to newborns today most likely years after collage and into their 30's and for what? More Corruption? The lining of pockets? Future votes? health care that has never worked any place all that effective? Having the rich to pay for it or is taxing anyone with a job to pay for it? And believe Obama is not done by a long shot in spending or taxing.
As i sit here writing checks to the utilities companies. not only for my place but for my apartment rentals. yes I offer paid utilities. i wonder if this cap on carbon will force me to stop offering that. When utilities have to bid on permits, permits that some say will be open to everyone, and that means the likes of G.Soros and any billionaire wanting to get into the energy game or other companies all in a open bidding war. I sit and wonder how much of the bottom dollar is going to be passed to me and my bill.
D. Axelrod said today it is bad right now to bring up anti Americanism in the form of protest and tea parties. Some celeb said it was because their is a black man in the White House. maybe they have slept through the past 8 years and woke up in the midst of the New Clinton Administration and only because most of Carters cabinet is either dead or banned from DC. Or should be banned.
If anything Tea Parties did bring over 700 cities and a few hundred thousand people together for a cause. Not to protest Obama and some did. Not to protest democrats or republicans and some did. But people have had enough. Seriously we as a whole have had enough of every one's spending, Taxes, future debt.
I hear it everyday "The last 8 Years" "GWB" wah wah wah. Well you know what my money grew it grew a lot in the last eight years and i pulled out before the peak of the market and never going back into it. i am sorry for GM workers Lear workers Delphi workers but seriously how many years do you think we can continually to pay big wages, big benefits, and big pensions with out a crash. Your finding out right?
All those homes I used to work on in Akron and Cleveland developments the 250k and up homes when the Tech boom was booming. Kids were buying them out of collage that's how easy it was to buy a new home in the mid 90's. Now some are bailout roads.
Things change and Obama is not the answer, neither is spending the way out of it. If anyone does anything today check out D.Feinstein and her hubby and tell me when and where the next party is.
Not that I won't know already. I will be there loud and strong in American pride knowing I still live in a Christian Nation wither or not obama does.
President Bush 43 was irresponsible to have promoted and signed passage of an unaffordable prescription drug program, tax "rebates" and TARP bailouts. But clearly, comparing his shortcomings to Obama's financial radicalism is like comparing a parking violation to homicide.
Last fiscal year, the deficit was $459 billion. For this fiscal year, it was $569 billion when Mr. Obama took office. Under his proposals, another $1.276 trillion will be added to the deficit this year, for a total of $1.845 trillion.
The CBO says deficits will fall for three years to $658 billion, still nearly 50% larger than any past deficit. After that, deficits go back up every year, reaching the trillion-dollar a year mark again in nine years. By 2019, the debt would reach 82.4% of GDP, a level not seen since 1947.
Federal spending will under Mr. Obama top $4 trillion this year. This translates into 28.5% of GDP -- a level exceeded only at the height of World War II.
Alexander Hamilton endorsed some aspects of a strong central government. He was not a socialist. He did not advocate punishing productivty and rewarding sloth. He did not support vote-buying indirectly (entitlements) or directly (ACORN). His positions regarding protectionism are now accepted as detrimental.
Regarding seceding from the union, would you oppose it? Maybe you'd no longer have to deal with the conservatives and their outdated ideas about the American Dream, virtues and personal responsibility.
I don't have a problem with conservatives and Texas will not succeed from the Union. I am proud that some one as in Mr. Perry has the coins to stand up and say hey enough is enough
True it is bad enough we have to pay W' [43] bills, but 44's additions is going to end up in calamity on the horizon.
I must add a idea that I hope dwindles and fades away. Their are congressmen and ladies who want to liquefy your 401k, possible your IRA and maybe pensions. Into what is basically a sister account to S.S. It is estimated that there is as little as 3 trillion in 401K's and up to 10 trillion if you take it to pensions. It was squashed by everyone before the election of 08, re-arose in December and has been quiet since then. The markets do not like the idea and could not handle the blow [right now] So i just want to say it is a very slippery slope we are on. And we all know what happens when they say we will not dip into S.S.
O gimme a break. Here you damn liberals go again with the belief that Fox staged these things. WRONG. Jim Shaw planned the one in Youngstown, NOT Fox News. Justin Higgins of Brookfield, OH helped plan the one in Columbus, NOT Fox News.
And o by the way, it is Rick Santelli of the far left NBC Family of Networks that is the inspiration behind these.
I criticized Bush for spending too much and I am going to criticize Obama for spending even more than Bush did.
Anderson, personally I wish the idea of partial privatization of SS would be brought up now. First, the introduction of trillions of dollars into the markets could be at a better time. Secondly, if people have the ability to choose where their money flows, in this market its a (potentially) great time to buy. Yes, there is downside, that is why I would favor only a 25% cap on SS funds being used this way.
You missed the whole point Some Democrats want to take it and put it in the federal government control and eliminate the opportunity for investing. Google Obama 401K
Rick Santelli of the far left CNBC??? LOL. CNBC is a mouthpiece of the right ValleyRed. Maybe if you watched it, you know.
I believe you're letting your contempt of President Bush cloud your reasoning. Of course President Bush spent way too much money that our children will have to sort out, if they can. But do you dispute that the amount being spent by President Obama and Congress dwarfs what was spent under Bush 43? Read the facts in my entry above and tell me which of those facts are erroneous.
As a finance major at Youngstown State, I watch CNBC every single day to get my market news and information. With that being said, CNBC is part of the far left NBC Network.
Any business student studying capitalism in their courses right now cannot be a liberal, at least on economic issues. Hence the reason they appear to be so conservative. I am sure on social issues, they may be pretty damn liberal however.
ValleyRed, CNBC is about as far right as any cable station can be. Reporters like Larry Kudlow, who was part of Republican economic teams and others on CNBC are a mouthpiece for Republican policies. To even claim that they are left wing shows your complete lack of logic.

Bucharest | Sir Richard Bishop
Apologies, as this is a bit out of order, being placed in the middle of the Bangkok series, but I have just returned from a trip to Bucharest, Romania where I had the great fortune to see Sir Richard Bishop perform at a club, thirty-one years after I had seen him for the first time at a hardcore show in DC.
I've posted the introduction to his interview below, but if you should read the article in it's entirety here, at The Attic. A very nice piece of synchronicity.
It was 1984 in Washington, DC, at the height of that city's legendary hardcore punk scene. We were young, aggressive and frustrated, and though not dumb, the amount of things we didn't know were huge. We had no idea how important that punk scene was in DC. We had no idea that we were in the last year of hardcore punk, that the next year, the scene would just collapse into fragments. We had no idea we would survive and grow old and sit in chairs at desks for decades to come. And we had no idea that the visceral, instinctive and emotional wave of hardcore punk that surprised us and filled us with ideas and growling intensity was a feeling we would never feel again.
One of the great surprises was at a JFA show in DC in 1984 at the 930 Club. The small club was packed as usual for a well-known out of town band, a band whose logo was easily drawn on jackets, skateboards and walls. None of us knew the opening band, but back then, we had no information except for paper magazines and we were hungry for most any music. The opening band came out and the guitarist with his head wrapped in an Arab keffiyeh head scarf, started to sing in a high falsetto, like a feminine muezzin, chirping out a call to prayer. This went on for minutes. No accompaniment. This was at a time where hardcore punk fans would abandon their favorite bands for daring to play a song less than faster than the speed of light.
People started to leave. A few here, more there. Than a constant stream of people headed for the door. Hardcore punkrock took in and embraced many different musical flavors (The Pogues and The Butthole Surfers for God's sake) almost because there was no place else to go. But a challenging avant-garde, experimental trio? Sometimes, people just wanted to thrash. For the few of us that stayed, and it was a fair amount, we were enthralled for next hour. All I remember thinking was, Who the fuck are these guys? And where the fuck are they taking me?
During one sequence, the drummer was standing, sticks just barely brushing the cymbals, in a trance, the band letting the tension build. When the break finally came, the drummer descended on his kit and I saw a drumstick shatter but did not see where the top half went until the guy in front of me turned around, blood streaming from his face. We filled in the gap he left and closed ranks to get closer to this crazy band. Who were they, I asked someone after the show. Sun City Girls. I bought their album that week and drove my friends nuts with it for months. I don't even remember JFA playing.
Thirty-one years later, I was in Bucharest for a week, there to photograph the people and the streets. This musician I had met that night before took me to Club Control to watch a free, improvisational duet of violin and percussion as she was friends with the violinist. This show was an unexpected choice and I was enjoying the performance and oddly proud of the size of the crowd in attendance for such an experimental performance. Then some guy named Sir Richard Bishop came on. I had assumed it was going to be a DJ since it was a club. I had no idea. Bishop brought out a gorgeous small body 19th century guitar and started off with a song, heavy in the Phrygian mode, playing fully off of the North African mode. Unexpected again. I heard his voice in between songs. Definitely American. At times, percussive and at times, trancelike, I sat on the floor beneath the bar and let myself get taken along for the ride.
It was afterwards, outside in the terrace that I found out that it was Richard Bishop from the Sun City Girls. Well, look at that. We had both survived.
Bangkok | Phaya Thai
Before I left my hotel, I scouted out the neighborhood I wanted to explore that day. On Google Maps, it looked pretty simple. Take the BTS to Victory Monument stop, proceed in a northeasterly fashion to the area I was going to explore.
What of course happened, is that I became stuck in this interim neighborhood for almost two hours, sweating my ass off, going down streets that turned out to be dead ends a few minutes later, going into parks that had no other exit but the one I used to enter, jumping concrete barriers to cross highways.
Frustration, copious sweat, and a lot of backtracking.
Such is the life of a street shooter when you try to leave yourself open to chance and whim.
But because of this meandering and exploring, I found some great opportunities and such hidden treasures, some of which made it onto film. A very strong shot which will be posted next, was only possible because I became so helplessly lost on these crazy streets.
Such is the way. Enter a crossroads and like the wandering samurai, toss a stick in the air to see which path to take for the next few hours, the next day, the rest of your life.
This shot below is nothing unusual or worth nothing except for the fact that it was the exit I found, the only way to leave the neighborhood I had been trapped in for hours. I was so elated, I took a shot.
Bangkok | JB
Boy, things have changed. While in Thailand, I met this model online and we agreed for a quick, informal shoot at night. Sent her the link to my work. When we met, she asked me, "I saw your site and I have to ask: do you really not work with a retoucher at all?"
Brave new world.
Bangkok | Din Daeng
Apologies for the long absence. Got busy and lazy and fell behind in editing my film after a couple of trips.
I am back now and these Thailand images are from January of 2015.

Based in the unofficial cultural capital of Wales, Aberystwyth, the Exchange is committed to literary translation as a necessary element in a delicate ecology. Respect for human relations and their context in the world are vital to international exchange, and so we travel consciously, always asking why and how.

A team of British scientists has published new details of the world's deepest volcanic vents, discovered in 2010 in a canyon on the Caribbean seafloor. Although the vents are gushing liquid minerals estimated to be hotter than 450 degrees Celsius, they are surrounded by a remarkable abundance of marine life, including species of shrimp and snails never seen before.The volcanic vents were discovered five kilometers down near the bottom of Cayman Trough - an undersea trench south of the Cayman Islands. Expedition co-leader Jon Copley, a marine biologist of the University of Southampton in England spoke to us via Skype.
"Deep sea vents are hot springs on the ocean floor. They are a little bit like the geysers you may know from Yellowstone Park in the U.S., except they are underwater... [and] they are not erupting steam. They are erupting really hot fluid, still liquid, loaded with dissolved minerals that form particles that looked like smoke and that's why we nicknamed them 'black smokers'," said Copley.
Hot fluid from Earth's crustAlthough they didn't measure the vent temperatures directly, the scientists estimate that the dark material spewing out - mostly copper and other dissolved minerals - is hotter than 450 degrees Celsius. "That's the temperature you get right at the very throat of the vent, where the hot fluid is gushing out [from] the earth's crust. But the animals don't live there. They live a little bit further away. A few meters away the temperature is down to 20 to 40 degrees [Celsius]." In those cooler waters around the vents' six-meter tall mineral spires, the scientists found teeming populations of marine animals, including a new species of shrimp. Copley said the tiny white creatures exist in near-total darkness and feed mostly on bacteria.New species discovered"Instead of two eyes on stalks like shrimp normally have as an adult, these shrimp have a light-sensing organ on their back," said Copley.They also found hundreds of white-tentacled anemones, but they could not collect specimens.Copley said that by studying the deep-sea vents and their animal colonies, scientists can better understand how marine life disperses and evolves in the deep ocean. He noted that in the coming years, the ecosystem will see an increasing human presence, in the form of deep-sea fishing, oil and gas extraction and mining operations.""If we are going to make responsible decisions about how we manage those ocean resources, we need to understand what determines the patterns of life in the deep ocean," said Copley.Copley and his team are now analyzing samples and data from "black smoker" vents recently found at four other seafloor sites around the world.

Fisheries are increasingly understood as complex adaptive systems; but the cultural, behavioral, and cognitive factors that explain spatial and temporal dynamics of fishing effort allocation remain poorly understood. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a visualization tool, this paper combines catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) and ethnographic data on the Ecuadorian mangrove cockle fishery to explore patterns in fishing effort and the social production of fishing space. I argue that individual decisions about where, when, and how to fish result in spatial and temporal patterns in effort allocation, ultimately regulating open-access fisheries that typically operate on a first-come, first-served basis. These emergent patterns in the fishing effort are explained by individual-level preferences and adaptations; the development of knowledge and customary norms through the habitual use of resource space by individuals and groups; ecological conditions; and access. New adaptive challenges threaten to undermine such self-organization of open-access systems on larger spatial and temporal scales prompting a likely re-allocation of the fishing effort in the future.

Notes from Singing River
The Sun, Skin Cancer and Vitamin D
Summer is here in the Northwest — a little early, but it's here. The temperatures are unusually hot for June-uary. Usually we need to sing the blues for the sun to come out. I know many people love it—and I love the sun, but it's the rain that makes our corner of the world so green, so I miss rain.
Because of our frequent gray skies, our indoor lifestyles and our use of sunscreen when we do go outside, most of us Oregonians are vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D is a powerful immune modulator, can improve mood and energy, prevents preterm birth and it's pivotal in calcium absorption and bone health. It comes primarily from the sun. In fact, there are very few foods that are good sources of Vitamin D.

Subscribe2 is awesome, I've been using it for several years now without issue.
I just upgraded to WP 3.5 and went ahead and upgraded subscribe2 while I was at it.
I'm actually not entirely sure when subscribe2 stopped working, although I was getting subscriptions as recently as 2 weeks ago. But, just in case the upgrade is a red herring, I thought I'd throw that out.
Basically, the subscribe widget and the post page quite working. I get:
Sorry, there seems to be an error on the server. Please try again later.
I can send test emails just fine.
I changed the shortcode, as I was using the old version previously, but that didn't help either.

Editor's note: For a photo gallery of the winners, see www.Nurse.com/Gallery/HLMW-GEM-Awards.
Each year, a national search is held to find the most exceptional nurses in the U.S. Nurses from across the country are nominated by colleagues. This year, Nurse.com continues its tradition of recognizing and celebrating the achievements of these dedicated nurses throughout the United States, the culmination of which results in the naming of six special nurses as 2013 Nursing Excellence GEM awardees. In each region, five remarkable nurses in six specialized categories were chosen from the hundreds of nominations received.
"Our program has a sparkly new look and a shiny new name," said Cheryl Portner, RN, MSN, Nurse.com vice president of staff development and training and nurse executive, Greater Chicago region. "The GEM Awards are our way of publicly recognizing excellence in nursing by awarding nurses who were nominated, selected and celebrated by other nurses, and who represent the best of the best in our profession. It is our privilege to honor them."
Advancing and Leading the Profession
Barbara A. Brunt, RN-BC, MN, MA, NE-BC, director, nursing research and professional development, Summa Health System, Akron, Ohio
Research and sharing her findings are passions for Barbara A. Brunt.
One area in which Brunt has great interest: nursing competencies. She focused on the topic after serving on a joint National Nursing Staff Development Organization/American Nurses Association task force, looking at advanced competencies in continuing education and staff development.
The information from that research study identified competencies for advanced practice continuing education and staff development educators, Brunt said. However, it did not include information to identify if someone was meeting those competencies. It also did not include basic competencies.
The nurse leader turned to the literature to identify basic competencies and ended up with 107 competency statements.
Brunt developed a proposal for a pilot study to identify performance criteria for 10 of the identified competencies. After determining the viability of the method, she conducted nine additional studies to identify performance criteria for each basic and advanced competency statement. She submitted grant proposals to continue the research and was awarded the needed funds.
She shared what she learned, not only presenting a session on grant-writing basics at a national conference but also writing a book documenting the results of her research to help guide staff educators on how to use the information in practice.
After the revised Standards for Nursing Professional Development came out in 2010, Brunt realized there were competencies she didnt include in her original research.
I was interested in identifying performance criteria for the new competencies and also classifying the competencies according to [Patricia] Benners novice-to-expert theory, she said.
Brunt sent out a survey asking nursing professional development educators to rank each of the competencies according to Benners framework.
There were a few surprises in that study, so, my next project will be to do a validation study with a group of staff development experts, she said.
Research starts with passion about a topic or question, Brunt said.
Doing a small study or replicating a previous study [is a good way]of getting started, she said. It is always helpful to have it relate to [a nurses]practice. We need educational research to give credibility to what we do. In order to advance the profession, we also need to share the results of research.
Clinical Nursing, Inpatient
Jenna Dziedzic, RN, BSN, nurse educator, cardiac ICU, University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor
To Jenna Dziedzic, being a nurse means being a patient advocate.
Dziedzic served three years, including two as chair, on the University of Michigan Health Systems Clinical Practice Committee to improve practice.
Sometimes, I am my patients only support, she said. Im blessed to have worked my entire nursing career at a leading teaching institution which respects that I have a voice. It is, however, up to me to use it and make sure Im heard.
True advocacy requires not only finding solutions to problems, but also teaching those best practices, said Dziedzic, who mentors senior-level nursing students.
In one project, Dziedzic focused on why pressure ulcer rates continued to be high in the ICU despite use of padded dressings that were shown to decrease pressure ulcers.
I noticed, during my patient care, that I was seeing many of the padded dressings in use but not always optimally placed over bony prominence, Dziedzic said. So the [clinical practice committee]team, with the help of our skin liaison, audited and re-educated. Then, we began to see a drop in our pressure ulcer rates.
An infection control audit bought up another opportunity for improvement: to eliminate bloodstream infections in the CICU. Dziedzic and committee colleagues studied the issue and found dressings that held patients pulmonary artery catheters were consistently loose. Using products readily available on stock carts, they developed a specialized method of applying dressings for patients with the catheters. Bloodstream infection rates went to zero, and the CCU enjoyed 378 consecutive days without a BSI. The CCU has since adopted the dressing approach as the standard of care for pulmonary artery catheter patients. And Dziedzic and her team have presented a poster on the topic at multidisciplinary and nursing meetings.
Its like the little project that could [it]just keeps going, Dziedzic said. Start with a small, manageable thing. Little things often have greater impact than you first realize. Also, when it comes to attempting any change, we will meet resistance. But barriers are rarely as solid as they seem.
In my committee work, weve joked about the 80/20 rule: 20% of people will be resistant to doing something new; the other 80% will be receptive. I choose to be a part of and keep my focus on the 80%. The 20% will eventually follow.
Education and Mentorship
Nancyruth Leibold, RN, EdD, MSN, PHN, LSN, assistant professor of nursing, Minnesota State University, Mankato
Being a nurse educator involves lifelong learning of nursing and nursing education topics to fuel inspiration and creativity, said Nancyruth Leibold.
Leibold immerses herself in not only teaching but also learning by constantly developing her teaching skills and using a variety of tools to help students learn. Leibold wrote and produced 21 instructional videos for her students in 2012 and developed more than 20 educational games during 2011 and 12. She stays up to date on how to keep nursing students engaged, having in the last two academic years completed Faculty Teaching and Excellence in Teaching/Learning Online certificate programs.
I incorporate a variety of teaching strategies in [courses]to keep students engaged and promote interaction, Leibold said. By changing the learning activity often, it promotes interaction and keeps learners interested.
I use a lot of technology, such as gaming, making my own videos. Learning is fun, and it should be, since in nursing lifelong learning is necessary to keep current [with]new advances.
Leibold takes a special interest in helping her students prepare for the NCLEX-RN. She coaches students in their test preparations and has made five NCLEX prep videos.
She also shares information with her colleagues. After attending conferences about concept-based curriculum for schools of nursing, Leibold made a video for colleagues about the topic, including ideas of how concept learning can be implemented in courses.
Continuing education is important to learn new things, but it also can inspire nurse educators, she said. There is always a new gold-nugget discovery for use in educating tomorrows nurses.
Leibold said one of her tasks as a nurse educator is to create environments in which students can be engaged in interacting and learning. And providing caring, compassionate interactions and competence to patients, families, communities and populations is an essential aspect of her nursing practice.
The blending of this passion into nursing education is a critical point of my teaching practice, Leibold said. One thing I tell students is that knowledge and application, evidence-based practice and technical skills, are not enough in nursing, because therapeutic communication and interaction are also necessary for nurses.
Home, Community and Ambulatory Care
Kimberly Kousaie, RN, BSN, CHPA, director, Summa Palliative Care and Hospice
Summa Health System, Akron, Ohio
For Kimberly Kousaie, a trip to treat patients in Kenya turned out to be as much a teaching as a learning experience. She not only came back a better nurse, but she was able to help her U.S. staff return to the essence of hospice nursing.
Kousaie visited Summa Health Systems global partnership with a Kenyan hospice and palliative care center two years ago. She and her team brought supplies and educated staff about Western medicine. They also learned about Kenyas cultural and healthcare beliefs. Kousaie went on home visits to learn more about patient care in the country.
We did not have access to medications, she said. We didnt have access to hospitalizations, any of the interventions we do here. It really took you down to the absolute grassroots of what is nursing assessment? What is nursing care? How do you provide that comfort without all the technology and access to things that we have here in the U.S.?
Kousaie retained what she learned and observed, sharing it with her staff and, ultimately, helping them to refocus on the essence of what they do.
When we initially returned, it was quite a culture shock to be back, Kousaie said. In a very odd way, it made me frustrated when I would hear things here from our staff, complaining about having to drive an extra 10 miles to a patients home. I had just come from patients who would walk three miles barefoot on a dirt road to get to an outpatient clinic.
Kousaie said issues such as electronic medical record implementation and the many administrative tasks involved in modern care had distracted her and her staff from their true work: focusing on the patient, the family and how to provide them comfort.
Its not all about the medications, electronic charting or other patients on the schedule, Kousaie said.
Its reminding [staff]that hospice care is about that patient and that family at that moment, she said. We just had to bring that core piece back to our team. I think sharing some of the stories from Kenya really helped them realize what we do have here, and the exceptional care we are able to provide.
Patient and Staff Management
Joan McNeice, RN, MA, nurse manager, CICU, University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor
Joan McNeice is committed to empowering nurses to provide patient- and family-centered care.
McNeice helped design her facilitys cardiovascular ICU when it was being built. Among the accommodations she implemented: a couch bed in every room and windows built low enough to allow patients to look outside from their beds.
Individualizing care starts with the patients story and continues to develop throughout the continuum of care, McNeice said. When a healthcare provider actively listens, documents and communicates a patients story across the continuum of their care, patient advocacy is strengthened.
Throughout the years, McNeice has advocated for open visiting hours, better patient education materials, patient and family involvement in policy decisions and patient involvement in care. She has been known to emphasize quality measures that affect patients and families, such as medication reconciliation, fall prevention, patient and family pathways of care for the vascular surgery population and pressure ulcer prevention.
McNeice strives to promote information sharing, through which healthcare providers, patients and families share complete and unbiased information with one another; participation, through which patients and families build strength via experiences that enhance control and independence; collaboration, which includes policy and program development along with the delivery of care; and dignity and respect.
McNeice makes a point of attending the annual Patient & Family Centered Care Conference and has presented at the conference. She initiated an insulin management project and is working on an early mobility program. She overcame barriers and initiated bedside reporting.
But McNeice does not use a top-down approach. Rather, she believes in the shared governance model.
Shared governance is my approach to leading staff for successful outcomes, McNeice said. Ive always partnered with staff, supporting them with tools, time and knowledge to make decisions and solve problems.
Her advice to nurse managers? Start with patient- and family-centered care and empower staff to stop doing for patients and families and [instead]partner with the patient and family.
Celebrate what your team already does that is [patient- and family-centered]; document your journey; continue to celebrate; and share with others. In a shared governance unit, the staff feels responsible and acts accountable for patient outcomes.
Volunteerism and Service
Sarah Elizabeth DeFlon, RN, MS, ACNS-BC, registered nurse/cardiology, University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor
Chances are good that when she isnt working on the University of Michigans cardiac step-down unit, Elizabeth DeFlon is volunteering as a nurse at Neighborhood Service Organization in Detroit.
The nurses at the organization not only provide care but help manage crises. It can get crazy, DeFlon said.
The clients at the Neighborhood Service Organization have one thing in common: They are in dire need of healthcare. Detroit is really lacking in [healthcare]services. [Many of these people] have gone decades without getting any care or good treatment, DeFlon said.
If she could swing it financially, DeFlon said she would work full time for the uninsured.
When I graduated from school with my masters, I wanted to start a nonprofit for people with no insurance, she said. But when I really looked into that getting a board of directors and getting funding it was a huge undertaking, and I was not able to quit my job at that time to put all my energy into that.
Working at the University of Michigan allows DeFlon flexibility not only to work at the Detroit nonprofit, but also to do more to help others.
DeFlon, who travels abroad extensively, is developing a website she hopes to launch soon aimed at helping to tackle human atrocities she has witnessed, including sex trafficking and slavery. She also is a volunteer nurse with Project Medishare in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
Her focus on helping others, including patients, is evident regardless of the healthcare setting. DeFlon is a member of the University of Michigan Health Systems Patient- and Family-Centered Care committee. She also precepts for unit staff, mentors nursing students and participates in medical student orientation to clinical care.
A quote that resonates with DeFlon is one by Portuguese photographer Jose Ferreira, who documented the harsh reality of life in Mozambiques trash city, where some make a living from other peoples waste: The life we waste every day because we want a better one or because we are never satisfied with it is the life that many wish and yearn to have and would give anything to have.

In Dayton Moore's first season as general manager of the Royals, in 2006, Kansas City went into the final weekend with the worst record in the majors, in excellent position to land the first pick of the draft the following summer.
The Royals' opponents in those last days of the '06 season were the Detroit Tigers, who were tied for first place in the American League Central. Kansas City pitched its best available pitchers, including Zack Greinke in a Friday night start and fielded its best position players, and the Royals swept the Tigers, preventing Detroit from winning the division while also allowing the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, who lost their last four games, to fall into the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft.
That pick turned out to be a talented left-hander named David Price.
That history is instructive in these final days before the trade deadline, as Moore and the others in the Royals' front office determine a course of action for the defending champions.

I'm seeing the above error message when I try to install steam on my fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.
I'm unsure how to proceed obtaining this package. Does anyone have any advice?
I dont know steam, but the error suggests that you tried to install its 32bit version on a 64bit system. If there is a 64bit version of steam, then better use that one.
My situation: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS 64-bit on a Asus Eee PC Netbook
How I solved my problem:
Installed Steam using the link from the Steam website
I ran this command in the terminal:
then opened the Steam launcher.
When the launcher opened it started to automatically download the rest of the packages.
****Note: May need to reboot after executing the command

Gaim play
Are you interested in storing, organizing, and searching instant messaging conversations on your IMAP server? The Perl script in this month's column can help you do just that.
Storing emails on an IMAP server instead of on a local PC has the advantage of providing access to information you need, no matter where you are when you need it. But if you use Instant Messaging in addition to email, the exchange of information is lost as soon as you finish chatting. Many messaging clients, such as the ubiquitous Gaim, have a logging feature to help you solve this problem. The client records your messages on disk, but often you'll find yourself miles away from home when you need that vital URL that a friend IMed you recently.

The Tampa Bay Lightning had a franchise-record 10-game win streak at home coming into Saturday's meeting with defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles.
That mattered little to a Kings team fighting for its playoff lives and losers of four in a row on the road.
Los Angeles scored three goals in the first period and held on through an extended Lightning rally for a 4-2 win in front of a sellout crowd of 19,204 at Amalie Arena.
The Bolts' home record falls to 21-5-1.
Tampa Bay (33-16-5, 71 points) entered Saturday's game having scored the opening goal in four straight, but Los Angeles (22-18-12, 56 points) quickly jumped on the Bolts, ringing the net at 1:33 of the first period. Kings center Tyler Toffoli intercepted a pass in the Lightning zone and skated in on Bolts goalie Ben Bishop unopposed. His backhanded shot from in front hit Bishop and trickled over the goal line to put Los Angeles up 1-0.
The Kings went ahead 2-0 following a well-timed centering feed from Trevor Lewis along the left boards for a hard-charging Justin Williams in the slot. Williams met the puck in stride and tipped it past Bishop to increase Los Angeles' lead.
The Kings' third goal was a backbreaker, All-Star defenseman Drew Doughty shoveling a puck from the left circle toward the net that beat a screened Bishop with less than two seconds remaining in the first for a 3-0 advantage.
"The story of the game was no matter how we want to say it or what questions we want to ask, we're down 3-0 and couldn't dig ourselves out of that hole," Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said.
Bishop was pulled after giving up three goals on nine first-period shots, making way for rookie Andrei Vasilevskiy to open the second.
"It's one of those games," Bishop said. "I'd like to make one of those saves to keep the team in it. Didn't happen tonight, but it's a long season. I'm not going to lose sleep over it, just turn the page and get ready for tomorrow."
Vasilevskiy stopped 19 shots and kept the Kings off the scoreboard in the second, but the Bolts couldn't make up the three-goal deficit.
"You can't really pin it on Ben," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "You give up three, so naturally probably people are going to look at the box score and say, 'Bish wasn't very good.' That wasn't the case. They had a couple seeing-eye singles that went in, so decided to pull him out and see if the other guy could give us a chance. It wasn't Ben's night."
Tampa Bay broke through early in the second period, the Triplets line putting continuous pressure on Kings goalie Jonathan Quick (26 saves), capped by Nikita Kucherov's unassisted wrist shot from in close to bring the Lightning within two.
Kucherov earned his 19th goal of the season. The Russian hadn't scored in 2015 until an empty-net tally on Thursday in Dallas. He now has two goals in his last two games.
The Lightning inched closer early in the third, Victor Hedman scoring his seventh goal of the season at 1:34 to make it 3-2. Ryan Callahan's cross-ice pass from the right boards hit Hedman in stride as he skated toward goal. Hedman settled the bouncing puck and beat Quick top shelf stick side with a well-places wrist shot.
Callahan picked up his 22nd assist of 2014-15.
"You never get surprised by this team," Hedman said. "We've battled a lot throughout the season with injuries and everything. We felt like we could come back, but, obviously, it wasn't enough."
Los Angeles shut the door a little over six minutes later, though, Williams scoring his second of the night by sniping a shot from the right circle over Vasilevskiy's glove to put the Kings back up by two.
Moments earlier, the Lightning worked a 2-on-1 with Palat and Johnson, but Doughty slid to the ice and drove Palat to the side to prevent the Bolts from tying the score.
Williams second marker was the dagger that snapped a three-game losing skid for the Kings, winners of two of the last three Stanley Cups.
"We kind of lost a little bit of life there after that," Cooper said.
Tampa Bay drops to 10-4-2 versus the Western Conference.
The Lightning will complete a back-to-back set Sunday against, points-wise, the top team in the NHL, the Anaheim Ducks, at Amalie Arena (5 p.m. puck drop). The Bolts then travel to Central Division leader Nashville on Tuesday.

In Windows 2003 we could open perfmon and then add multiple snapins to have a console that displays perfmon say for example in 3 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours in the same .MSC. It was then easy to navigate the history and compare over time values with various resolutions.
This was accomplished by starting perfmon, going to the console root then add/remove snap-in + Add + ActiveX Control + System Monitor Control.
Is this possible in Windows 2008 R2? My main objective is to be able to see various time spans in seperate graphs without obviously opening up 3 seperate perfmon instances.

Cook keeps faith with Broad
Follow England against Sri Lanka via our match-by-match page - all the reports, reaction, video highlights and live photos
England captain Alastair Cook has backed Stuart Broad to overcome his slump in form and saw some encouraging signs from the pace bowler during the six-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka at Lord's.
The Nottinghamshire seamer was wicketless for the third one-day international in a row as England went 2-1 behind in the five-match NatWest Series at Lord's yesterday.
Although Broad will head for his home ground of Trent Bridge on Wednesday nursing series figures of 0-154, he has the full backing of his skipper.
Cook, who made his second ODI hundred in yesterday's six-wicket defeat, said: "I think it's just one of those things."
Cook saw enough in Broad's efforts, particularly when bowling to man-of-the-match Dinesh Chandimal, to help him keep the faith.
"In a couple of overs when he was bowling aggressively at the guy who got a hundred, he hit the gloves and got the ball to bounce up," Cook added.
"He had a short-leg in, and they just kept avoiding him. At the moment it's not quite going for Broady, a bit like the Test matches.
"But this is what cricket does, and if he gets five-for next time on his home ground it will be welcome."
It was an all-round frustrating day for the bowling all-rounder after learning before the start of play that he was fined 50% of his match fee for a Level Two breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second match at Headingley.
Cook added: "He overstepped the mark. But when he bowled aggressively he made it uncomfortable - that's what Stuart does well.
"Broady's always played that way. That's part of what's made him get so far in the game so quickly.
"Occasionally he has overstepped the mark. But when you're wrong you're wrong. You put your hands up - and he admitted that."

Seven Ribs Tongue The most ribs in the industry designed like a flexible straw to flex naturally with your ankle & eliminate shinbang. Buckle tightness also doesn't affect flex.
