The Food and Drug Administration has struggled to attract top scientists in part because of its negative reputation, despite a workforce that is highly educated and committed to the agency's mission, according to a new report.
"The FDA routinely has come under the congressional spotlight and been criticized for either being too lax or too stringent with the industries it regulates," concluded a report from the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service that looked at the state of the agency's workforce and its recruiting and retention challenges. "While the political dynamic will always be part of the process and difficult for the FDA to control, its impact can hurt morale and create an image that may discourage prospective employees."
The Partnership found that scientists do not perceive FDA as a place where they can innovate, compared to academia, industry or at the National Institutes of Health, for example. "One biologist said it took her seven years to get over the 'FDA stigma' and actually make the leap to come to work at the agency," the report stated. "Even though the work at the FDA was more in line with her field and what she wanted to pursue, she refused job offers after hearing negative comments about the FDA and having the feeling that the FDA was not the place for top scientists. This sentiment was echoed by many reviewers and scientists who work at the FDA."
The agency's reputation took a hit earlier this year when current and former employees sued the agency in January, alleging that FDA retaliated against them for being whistleblowers by monitoring their personal email accounts.
In addition, tight budgets over the years and an intense workload have affected recruitment, retention and agency morale. While Congress increased FDA's budget to $2.5 billion by fiscal 2012, which enabled the agency to hire more employees in critical areas, lawmakers also have added to the agency's responsibilities during the past few years. For example, FDA now is responsible for regulating tobacco products.
Still, FDA employees are very satisfied and committed to their jobs, and believe their skills dovetail with the agency's mission, the report said. Its well-educated and dedicated workforce of nearly 15,000 is one of the agency's strongest assets, the report said. And the agency is trying to fix its hiring, training and retention problems, the Partnership concluded. FDA has developed a comprehensive human capital plan that analyzes gaps in the workforce and creates a roadmap for improving hiring and retention. It also has created an exchange program for scientists from academia and other organizations to work at the agency for short-term assignments. And in July, FDA's human resources office was moved back into the agency from parent Health and Human Services Department. FDA officials told the Partnership that they are determined to rebuild the agency's HR processes, including expediting hiring and providing more training opportunities for employees.
"How this is carried out and the degree to which FDA supervisors and managers are involved will be major determinants in the agency's efforts to meet its goals," the report said.
Among its recommendations, the Partnership encouraged FDA to develop long-term relationships with academia and the private sector to attract the kind of scientific talent it needs now and in the future. "Our review found the agency has not been proactive in this regard," stated the report.
FDA did not respond to Government Executive's request for comment.
The Partnership for Public Service, which analyzed the FDA's workforce at the request of the Pew Charitable Trusts, conducted its research between November 2011 and January 2012. Pew's Innovate FDA project is studying the agency's regulatory review process, scientific tools and workforce needs.

From the Somebody or Other Home Collection (Curtain to Dress)
Added Feb 18, 2011
by feldmantcat
Nashua, New Hamp...
This is just a simply cap sleeve bateau neck sheath dress using New Look 6643. The fabric is a curtain I bought at a Goodwill store for $2. The curtain is 100% cotton with black flowers embroidered all over it – exceptionally nice quality fabric. The curtain featured a black bias strip of fabric trim sewn over the stitching of the hem, so I decided to preserve the original curtain hem when I made the dress. I think it adds a nice design feature and it made the dress that much faster to sew since I did not have to hem it – just had to adjust the length on the pattern piece before cutting.
This is my third time making this pattern, and I finally perfected the fit. More about that and my inspiration for the dress on my blog.
Material Notes
100% cotton embroidered cotton curtain, polyester lining. I've made this same pattern before using a peach skin drapey fabric as well as a polyester acetate, so I was not sure how the dress would hang using something stiff like cotton (the cotton is quite thick). But it ended working quite nicely and the silky lining fabric underneath helps the dress move over the body more and not be so stiff.

It's turned out really well, would never have known it was from curtain fabric. Was such a good idea to keep the hem feature too, really finished it off beautifully.

Oral Care is a Big Part of Overall Health!
Posted: April 24, 2009
In the long run, not only will maintaining good oral health save you money and unwanted discomfort, but it will help prevent serious diseases. By using your toothbrush frequently, flossing daily, and using antibacterial mouthwash, you will help prevent oral trouble. As a rule of thumb, it is much easier to prevent problems before they start than restoring your oral health after you begin having problems. Oral health issues can also cause problems in other parts of your body, since there are links between your oral health and your overall health. As a matter of fact, diabetes and other diseases can get into the blood stream through the mouth. One major disease is oral cancer, and has a fatality rate of about one-third of those diagnosed. The annual mortality rate of oral cancer is on the rise, and heavy drinking, smoking, and HPV can be associated with the increasing death rate. There are even more deaths yearly from oral cancer than there are from cervical cancer, which is much more discussed in the media. The president of New Brunswick Dental Society, Dr. Frederic Duke, stated in a news release that there are warning signs that people should know about and have checked out. He said that if a person has a sore that lasts longer than two weeks; a swelling, lump, or growth in or around the mouth or neck; red or white patches in the mouth or on the lips; oral bleeding; or difficulty swallowing/persistent hoarseness, they should have this looked at by a dentist immediately.

AuguryMarch wrote:also, matt, if your hypothesis is true.. where are all these hardcore freshman and sophomores who were inspired by their high school experiences?
Matt Weiner wrote:What I mean by that is that good tournaments can start doing something that will be very beneficial and may tie in to your ideas about mentoring and personality. Right now we have certain bad tournaments run by certain not-so-talented editors, which are something of an institution in their regions and attract many of their teams for more social than competitive reasons. You know what events I'm talking about. If the group of people who are currently moving on from full-time playing stay around as editors, we could see things like MLK becoming Ryan Westbrook and Dave Rappaport's annual event, or ACF Regionals becoming Seth Teitler's annual event (Seth probably has a few more years of student play left in him and doesn't really belong in the aforementioned group of impending retirees, but I'd really like to see this happen since we all like his editing and sources tell me he's the Nicest Guy In Quizbowl, and anyway I'm just throwing out some examples). If such tournaments can be established as the pinnacles of the calendar year in and year out and these editors continue to strike the balance between difficulty and quality that they are known for, then there's no reason we can't just move to a new paradigm and continue catering to the vast bulk of players, and let the occasional wannabe-elite player come up as he may. This is, in my view, the best-case scenario out of the realistic possibilities for the next few years and it's what I think people should work towards.
Matt Weiner wrote:As far as NAQT, I think you're leaving out the big picture. The college program is a loss leader for them. They may not make a huge profit on it if you just look at the costs of producing the SCT and ICT versus the money they bring in from entry fees, but what they are doing is putting the product out there to get customers and writers for the high school sets. It's apparent that the high school questions are a financial success on the high school level alone; NAQT's share of every crappy college tournament run on high school questions is 100% profit, because the expenses are already covered by the high school market. Furthermore, they bring in new writers of the high school questions and new college customers of them for high school tournaments by keeping the brand exposed. Combined with obvious team demand, I doubt there is any reason to expect NAQT to pull out of college from a purely financial standpoint. And I think you overestimate the intangible factors--part of the reason NAQT stayed involved in college for so long when it wasn't making money was because they (or at least R) wanted to be running a national championship tournament; that probably hasn't changed. And dealing with kvetching doesn't bother people who just ignore feedback as a rule, which of course NAQT does. R's cadre really doesn't care what we think, so I wouldn't fret over the possibility of hurting their fragile emotional state.
Birdofredum Sawin wrote:Where are the vibrant programs encouraging young players to develop into competent editors, as was the case at Michigan under Ezequiel's guidance?
As it happens, R. does care what people, even Matt, think about NAQT. But that isn't the point.
Rather, Paul is suggesting that if NAQT were to draw up a list of reasons for and against continuing to produce the SCT and ICT, the "against" column (the questions consume an inordinate amount of time to produce, given NAQT's other commitments; they lose money on the tournaments; it's becoming extremely difficult to line up hosts; a vocal segment of the community seems to despise them) would overwhelm the "for" column (which, as far as I can tell, would boil down to "prestige" and "a few influential people in NAQT are still committed to the idea of running a decent national championship, regardless of the drawbacks"). I think that's true.
Some late-fall and early-spring tournaments should swing a little farther toward regionals, as otherwise there's a big jump to regionals from the difficulty newer players are used to.
theMoMA wrote:Consider how much work catching up to the college competition takes. Then consider that many quiz bowl dinosaurs aren't retiring any time soon. The prospect of working for years just to get beaten by old-timers is not an attractive one for many.
Finally, new players need to be encouraged to integrate themselves into the quiz bowl community. The forums and the IRC channel are really fanstastic resources for the new player. Which is to say, you guys are really fantastic resources for the new player.
Ryan Westbrook wrote:Sometimes, it feels like you need every good player available on the planet just to create the strength of field that tournaments routinely had three years ago.
I don't even mean on a standard university team - the truly solid acf team may hear its death knell after the dissolution of texas a&m and chicago A - I'm even talking about the individual players.
Teitler, Jerry, Sorice, Weiner, and others fit this profile - dare I say there's no lack of charisma in today's qb (I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, I'm notoriously demented about these things).
What there does seem to be a lack of is desire and work ethic from the promising people coming out of high school. Sure, it's well nigh impossible to accumulate the canon that experienced players have had many years to develop - I'm not looking for that, I'm looking for the dogged accumulation of any canon.
a vast desert of mediocrity and umpromising anonymity, with a few bright oases here and there (and I don't mean to offend those oases with this rant). But, that desert is the problem.
grapesmoker wrote:We're fooling ourselves if we think that the general level of play has ever been anything other than medicore. Most teams have been and are weekend warriors, and I think we should just accept that as a fact and learn to live with it.
Ray wrote:i'm not trolling, i just thought the point was kind of obvious...maybe you just want me to use proper capitalization, fine
Back in the mid to late 90s, quiz bowl was easy enough so that some random undergrad who paid attention in his classes could go to a tournament and probably get a tossup or two each round, before the giveaway. I think we should go back to this instead of continuing to make every tournament progressively harder.
One trend I've noticed is that people will write a tossup on a reasonably accessible thing but pack it full of incredibly obscure clues until the giveaway and think that this is good because it challenges good players while remaining gettable for perpetual n00bs like myself. The result is that second-to-last clues today are harder than leadins were 5-10 years ago. I wish people would stop doing this. These questions are no more pyramidal than questions composed entirely of leadins, though I suppose they are the less undesirable of the two extremes.
We can continue to have questions like these for ACF Nationals but for your average circuit tournament, I think it's more important to ensure that the field can get a tossup before the giveaway than to ensure that there not be a buzzerrace between two of the very top teams on a leadin.
I know that this is going to be an unpopular opinion on these boards, but I really don't care if Matt loses to Jerry on a buzzer race on the leadin of the last tossup of their at a circuit tournament if it means that a weaker team was able to get more questions before the giveaways and have more fun. Besides, they'll meet again in the finals anyway and we can save the incredibly hard, Eiffel Tower-shaped questions for then and keep actual pyramidal questions in the rounds that most teams will be playing.

This is called a "bad question" and does not reflect the stated philosophy of anyone that I know of.
That's what the SCT and ACF Fall function as- tournaments that can appeal to casual players yet still attract top teams and players. The demise of either one would be a grievous blow to younger teams and players."What we need to do is find some way to keep these casual players showing up at good tournaments so those tournaments stay viable, and not fret over the rate of good players emerging. "
Having some easier and some more difficult tournaments just seems like a good compromise that will keep these players interested."College quiz bowl is held up not only by a few elites, but also by a vast supporting cast of capable players."
Unless you establish a separate division for these newer teams, they're not only going to get destroyed by the competition but also not get many questions. Having slightly easier questions at least lets them feel like they have a chance on every question and lets them enjoy playing. Of course, this should not be a crutch that should continue indefinitely, but I think there should be a way to make the transition to tournaments of higher difficulty easier on newer players and teams."Some late-fall and early-spring tournaments should swing a little farther toward regionals, as otherwise there's a big jump to regionals from the difficulty newer players are used to."
You do know of Ryan Westbrook, right?
vig180 wrote:I was pleased at this year's ACF Fall in the Southeast to see teams like Tulane, Alabama and UL-Lafayette who seem to be relatively new to the circuit. While it's not exactly exponential growth, getting new schools involved is always a good sign and that's what having some easier tournaments can help do.

Bob Brenly on Why He Left and Other Bullets
There was some huge, huge news yesterday, which was inexplicably obscured by the election: 'Boy Meets World' is coming back (kind of)!
- Former (sigh) Cubs color man Bob Brenly was on with Waddle & Silvy yesterday, doing a bit of a debrief on his time with the Cubs. The most important question? Why are you leaving us, Bob!? "Everybody has to make decisions in life based on what's best for their family and what's best for them," Brenly said. "Circumstances change throughout your life. I mean, if I was 38 years old there is absolutely no way I would have walked away from that job job regardless. I would have stayed there forever. But I'm sneaking up on 60 here and this is where all the old people go to retire anyway, so I thought I would just get a jump on the crowd. But I'm absolutely going to miss everything about Chicago. I'm going to miss my partner [Len Kasper] desperately, and I know whoever comes in there to take my place, he is going to mold them into a really good analyst." Brenly added that 2012 was an exciting season to see the transition in the Cubs, and he thinks the future looks bright.
- Brenly also said that he regretted saying, back in 2008, that you could throw a dart in the Cubs' dugout and hit a better defender than Alfonso Soriano. Other than that, though, he said he didn't really regret anything he'd said (you'll recall, he famously ripped Aramis Ramirez for being a numbers-gatherer, and not a good leader for the young players).
- The Cubs have signed former Brewers utility player Edwin Maysonet to a minor league deal, which might include a non-roster invite to Spring Training. I feel like we already knew about this move, but I can't find any evidence of that. Maybe I'm just precognitive.
- Phil Rogers brings up Cubs minor leaguer Yoennis Negron, the starter whom the Cubs signed before last year out of Cuba, and then who mysteriously pitched in Mexico all year, despite being 27 years old at the time. He pitched well, and he's now tearing up the Venezuelan Winter League, which isn't entirely meaningless (the level of competitiveness there varies wildly, but it's around AA/AAA). He's 28, and doesn't have much pro experience, but he might get a look in the Spring.
- Jonathan Eig, the proprietor of ChicagoSide, sat down with Cubs' VP of Ticket Sales and Service Colin Faulkner to discuss the why-should-we-pay-so-much-money-to-see-a-crappy-team thing, which makes for an interesting philosophical discussion, but not a particularly interesting practical one. Why? Well, Eig says it, himself: "Imagine owning the second-worst team in baseball. It has a waiting list of 115,000 customers. Would you reduce prices?" The Cubs, although I do think they do form some kind of public trust, are not a charity. Their decisions on ticket prices will be governed, primarily, by supply and demand. And, frankly, as a fan, I remain of the mind that I want them to generate as much revenue as possible (while preserving the fan base long-term (because that, too, impacts revenue)), so that they can put that revenue right back into the organization as they've repeatedly promised to do.
- Cubs Convention passes go on sale this morning at 10am CT. Anyone know the Sheraton well? Where can we all try and meet up for a drink on Friday night?

SINGAPORE (AP) — Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's first prime minister, has been discharged from a hospital following a brain-related blockage, but he remains under doctors' observation.
The 89-year-old Lee was hospitalized Friday after experiencing a transient ischaemic attack, which occurs when blood flow to the brain stops for a period of time. The condition is associated with irregular heartbeats.
A statement from the Prime Minister's Office says he was discharged Sunday and was resting at home. He'll receive anti-coagulation treatments to discourage the formation of blood clots.
A founding member of the ruling People's Action Party, which transformed the country from a slow port city to a bustling metropolis, Lee became prime minister in 1959 and held power for 31 years. His son Lee Hsien Loong is the current prime minister.

Gaza was once a band. Now, they're a better band, and are called Cult Leader. Gaza was one of the first heavy concerts I ever attended back when I was in my early teens, and I've always loved their music. It's safe to say they rank among the best bands that Salt Lake City has ever produced. I was fortunate enough to get drummer Casey Hansen to send us a list of five songs to listen to, so read on:
1. The Electrician – Scott Walker The hardest thing to do in music is to marry true dissonance, discord, weirdness, and darkness with beauty and do it in a way that doesn't sound mashed together and underdeveloped. This song finds a way to flawlessly bridge musical chasms like nothing I've heard before.
2. Night Terrors – Cursed There's a reason everyone rips this band off and nobody wants to admit it.
3. Reckless Burning – Jesse Sykes and Sweet Hereafter Just an amazing song. There's nothing I can say about this song to add or detract from it.
4. They Sent You – Mare This band put out one EP ever, and it's amazing. Because of that, the potency of their catalog is perhaps stronger than anyone's. I've still never really heard a band to fairly compare this to. Pure genius.
5. Concubine – Converge Mind-bending, game-changing, and life-changing. For me anyway, that's pretty much all there is to say.
Huge thanks to Casey and Cult Leader for their time. Look out for their debut EP "Nothing For Us Here", coming in April via Deathwish, Inc. Tune in to Thought Forge Sundae, Mondays at 10 pm CST to hear bands featured on FIVE SONGS TO LISTEN TO.

BOSTON (AP) — James "Whitey" Bulger and his former partner, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, are facing each other for the first time in almost 20 years as Flemmi testifies at Bulger's racketeering trial.
Flemmi took the stand to testify Thursday in Boston a few minutes before the day's court session was to end. He gave Bulger a long, hard stare as he was led into the witness box, and Bulger glanced over at him.
The 83-year-old Bulger is accused of participating in 19 killings during the 1970s and '80s. Flemmi, who's 79, pleaded guilty to 10 murders and agreed to testify against Bulger. He is serving a life sentence.
The two hadn't seen each other since 1994, when their FBI handler tipped them off that they were about to be indicted.

Conversion from Mild Cognitive Impairment to Dementia: Influence of Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 Use in the VITA Cohort
– Source: Journal of Nutrition Health and Aging, May 22, 2012
By Imrich Blasko, et al.
[Note: Elevated homocysteine has been associated with arterial narrowing/diminished blood flow & deteriorating mental function, heart disease, clots and stroke. Folic acid (folate) and B12 are required to break down homocysteine and control its levels in the blood.]
Objective: Increased serum homocysteine and low folate levels are associated with a higher rate of conversion to dementia. This study examined the influence of vitamin B12/folic acid intake on the conversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia.
Participants: A community dwelling cohort of older adults (N=81) from the Vienna TransDanube aging study with MCI.
Design: Prospective study with a retrospective evaluation of vitamin intake.
Measurements: Laboratory measurements, brain magnetic resonance imaging, and cognitive functioning were assessed at baseline and at five-year follow-up.
Results: The self-reported combined use of folic acid and vitamin B12 for more than one year was associated with a lower conversion rate to dementia. Serum levels of homocysteine and vitamin B12 as measured at baseline or at five years were not associated with conversion.
Higher folate levels at baseline in females predicted a lower conversion rate to dementia. The assessment of brain morphological parameters by magnetic resonance imaging revealed higher serum folate at baseline, predicting lower medial temporal lobe atrophy, and higher levels of homocysteine at baseline, predicting moderate/severe global brain atrophy at five years.
Users of vitamin B12 or folate, independent of time and pattern of use, had lower grades of periventricular hyperintensities [spots in white matter associated with diminished brain health] and lower grades of deep white matter lesions as compared to non-users.
Conclusions: These results from a middle European study support observations on the protective ability of folate in MCI patients with respect to conversion to dementia; they also point to a participation of homocysteine metabolism on processes associated with brain atrophy.

HealthEast's special care nurseries were created to comfort and care for sick or premature newborns. Most babies are born healthy and never need our care. But for those who do, it's reassuring to know that we're here to offer our expertise and support.
Woodwinds – Special Care Nursery
The nursery at Woodwinds was designed for infants who are born up to six weeks prematurely or need extra care after birth.
Neonatal nurse practitioners are in the hospital at all times to handle emergencies. Neonatologists provide medical direction for the special care nursery.
Family-centered care and "rooming-in"Sharing in the excitement of your baby's birth, and offering extra special care for you and your family.
For your comfort and ease, our family-centered model of care allows you to stay in one room throughout labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum. After the birth, you are encouraged to keep your baby in the room with you. Called "rooming in," this important time together helps you and your partner learn how to care for your baby's needs.
St. John's Hospital – neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at St. John's Hospital cares for babies who are premature or need extra medical care after birth. Our NICU is a Level IIIa nursery. This means we treat babies as premature as 28 weeks gestation and care for sick newborns.
Our model of care
Our NICU has implemented a holistic developmental model of care. This means we pay special attention to your baby's total health — body, mind and spirit. We offer sensitive, individualized care that focuses on your baby's cues rather than tasks and schedules. This supportive care emphasizes family bonding.
As a complement to your baby's medical care, infant massage, healing touch, essential oils (prepared especially for newborns) or music therapy may also be used. We alter the amount of light and noise around your baby to decrease stress and maintain a calming surrounding. We're proud to be among the first NICUs in the nation to offer this unique combination of developmental care and healing arts.
NICU care team
The NICU is staffed around the clock by specially trained registered nurses (RNs), neonatal nurse practitioners and neonatologists. Our staff will provide expert, family-centered, holistic care to your newborn, your family and you.
During your baby's stay in the NICU, the nurses will explain the monitors, tests and other equipment. We'll also give you constant updates and suggest ways you can bond with your baby while he or she is in the hospital.
Bonding with your baby
Moms and dads are encouraged to be with and help care for their baby whenever possible. Feeding, changing diapers and simply spending time with your baby will help you learn your baby's cues and anticipate his or her needs. Spending as much time as you can with your baby will also make going home easier.
Many babies — and parents — also benefit from "kangaroo care." Wearing a diaper and a hat, your baby snuggles up on your bare chest with a blanket covering the two of you. The skin-to-skin contact has shown to be beneficial to premature and sick infants.
Spiritual support
Having a baby in the NICU can be a stressful, uncertain time. For families seeking spiritual support, chaplains are available at the hospital to talk, pray or simply listen. They offer comfort and guidance to people of all faiths. A prayer service is also held each day at noon in the hospital's chapel.
Spiritual Care & Chapels
Looking for more information about Spiritual Care and the chapels at HealthEast hospitals? Choose a hospital for more information at that location.
Going home
Most babies are admitted to the NICU shortly after birth. A common question from moms and dads is, "When can I take my baby home?" Just as each baby is unique, each stay in the NICU is different and depends on your baby's gestational age and how he or she is progressing. You'll get frequent updates from your child's doctor and nurses.
For some new parents, caring for a sick or tiny baby can be frightening. We'll make sure you have the support you need so you can confidently care for your child when your baby is ready to go home.
Neonatal intensive care unit
Our NICU is staffed around the clock by specially trained registered nurses (RNs), neonatal nurse practitioners and neonatologists (doctors who specialize in caring for newborns).
To learn more about the NICU at St. John's Hospital, call 651-232-7003.
Visiting your baby in the NICU
Since parents are the most important people in their babies' lives, we encourage you to be with your baby as much as possible.
For other visitors to the NICU:

An experienced transport team...The Best Choice for Your Child!
St. Louis Children's Hospital offers the most comprehensive and experienced pediatric and newborn transport service in the Midwest, completing more than 2,500 trips each year. Each transport mission is tailored to meet the needs of the child being transported and is staffed by a specially-trained medical team. The team typically consists of two Registered Nurses and a Paramedic. Depending upon the condition of the child, the team may also include a physician or other specialist for your child's condition. Our dedicated team is available 24/7 to provide a bridge of intensive care - even for the most medically complex child - while en route to Children's Hospital or returning from treatment.
Team members
- Transport Team Nurses have a variety of certifications including Pediatric Advanced life Support (PALS), Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) and a national trauma certification. All are Registered Nurses and are required to have a minimum of 5 years experience in the NICU, PICU or EU.
- Transport Team Paramedics have a variety of certifications including PALS, NRP and a national trauma certification. They have extensive EMS field experience and are highly skilled in management of emergent situations.
In addition some transports may include the added expertise of pediatric specialists such as a cardiologist, neonatologist or respiratory therapist.
Ready to respond
When critically-ill newborns and children need quick access to the specialized care offered at St. Louis Children's Hospital, the transport team stands ready to respond. Our primary response area includes hospitals in Missouri and Illinois, and we provide services throughout the United States and Canada. The appropriate mode of transport is based on patient condition, weather, distance.
Caring for patients
Upon arrival at the referring hospital, patients are stabilized and readied for transport. We work to provide a superior patient experience based on a foundation of collaborative care. The team also follows a policy of family-centered care, and when possible family members are encouraged to be present.
When the patient is ready for transport, the transport team calls Children's Hospital and relays any specific care needs to the receiving physician. If there are any changes while en route to Children's, the transport team has the ability to communicate these to the receiving unit so that the child will receive the care he or she needs.
The transport team is available to provide educational programs to referring hospitals. For more information or to speak with the transport team manager, call Children's Direct at 800.678.HELP (4357).

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suffered a concussion when she fainted after becoming dehydrated from a stomach bug, her office said Saturday.
A spokesman said Clinton will work from home next week, CNN reported. She canceled a planned trip to Morocco, where she was to recognize Syrian rebels because of her illness.
"While suffering from a stomach virus, Secretary Clinton became dehydrated and fainted, sustaining a concussion. She has been recovering at home and will continue to be monitored regularly by her doctors. At their recommendation, she will continue to work from home next week, staying in regular contact with Department and other officials. She is looking forward to being back in the office soon," Philippe Reines, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, said.
Her office announced that Clinton, on Dec. 18, will hold her fourth "Diplomacy at Home for the Holidays" reception. The event honors the work of U.S. government employees who are separated from their families while on overseas assignments.
The reception will be at the State Department with a performance by singer James Taylor and his wife, Caroline.

After a week of voting, we`ve got a winner in the first official SpellForce Fan Art Contest. Although the English community prefered the "SpellForce Trilogy", it`s the anime-styled picture which got the most votes in our overall rating.

concert will take place in the "Gewandhaus" in Leipzig and is scheduled for

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 20, 2012) - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is warning the public not to consume, sell or serve the food products described below because the products may be contaminated with Salmonella.
These recalls are part of an ongoing food safety investigation. This recall of peanut butter products in Canada is related to the expanding peanut butter product recall in the USA by Sunland Inc. due to possible Salmonella Bredeney contamination.
The following products are affected by this alert:
*Correction to the lot codes of products identified in the health hazard alert issued on October 16, 2012.
There have been no illnesses reported in Canada associated with the consumption of these peanut butter products. However, there are confirmed Salmonella Bredeney illnesses in multiple states in the United States.
Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with these bacteria may cause salmonellosis, a foodborne illness. In young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, salmonellosis may cause serious and sometimes deadly infections. In otherwise healthy people, salmonellosis may cause short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
The importers and retailers are voluntarily recalling the affected products from the marketplace. The CFIA is monitoring the effectiveness of the recall.
For more information consumers and industry can call the CFIA at 1-800-442-2342 / TTY 1-800-465-7735 (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday to Friday).

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
William Hunter, Sr.,
v. Docket No. CR-07-94
State Board of Retirement,
Appearance for Petitioner:
William J. Lundregan, Esquire
Lundregan Law Offices, PC
71 Washington Street, 21st FL
Salem, MA 01970
Appearance for Respondent:
Erin C. Nally, Esquire
Legal Department
State Board of Retirement
One Ashburton Place, RM 1219
Boston, MA 02108
Administrative Magistrate:
Judithann Burke
Pursuant to G.L. c 32 s. 16(4), the Petitioner, William Hunter, Sr., is appealing from the January 26, 2007 decision of the Respondent, State Board of Retirement (SBR), classifying him in Group 2 for retirement purposes. (Exhibit 9). The appeal was timely filed. (Exhibit 10). A hearing was held on February 20, 2008 at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA), 98 North Washington Street, Boston, MA.
At the hearing, sixteen exhibits were marked. The Petitioner testified in his own behalf. Both parties stated their arguments for the record. One (1) tape was made of the proceedings.
Based upon the testimony and documents submitted at the hearing in the above-entitled matter, I hereby render the following findings of fact:
1. The Petitioner, William Hunter, Sr., d.o.b. 07/27/1944, began employment as a Maintenance Officer in the Essex County Sheriff's Department on or about July 1, 1992. Prior to his first assignment, he was trained at the Middleton House of Correction in CPR, fire fighting, fire rescue, hand cuffing, defensive tactics, inmate Control, and cell searches. The Petitioner was fingerprinted, as were all those in Correction Officer positions. (Testimony and Exhibit 4).
2. The Petitioner's first assignment was to the position of "Tool Room Attendant" at the Middleton House of Correction. Included in the job description for this position is the provision "must be able to supervise and direct inmates". The first job responsibility listed is "directly supervise inmates on a shift, assuring that they complete their assignments and provide interrupted (sic) services for the facility". The job description also states that the Tool Room Attendant works under the Assistant Superintendent of Maintenance. (Testimony and Exhibits 2 and 8).
3. The Petitioner wore a uniform to work every day and he was given a number of keys with which to navigate his way about the facility and lead inmates to job assignments. He also took inmates outside of the facility to maintain the grounds. (Id.).
4. On the New Member Enrollment Form that he completed for membership in the Essex County Retirement System, the Petitioner reported that he worked in the Maintenance Department and that his title or position was "Janitor". He joined the Essex County Retirement System on or about February 3, 1996. (Exhibit 1).
5. On May 9, 1997, the Petitioner wrote to Cynthia Kendall of the Essex County Retirement Board and requested that he be classified in Group 4. He was initially classified in Group 2. He was surprised and believed this to be an error. He informed Ms. Kendall that he had constantly been working with and supervising inmates. (Exhibit 3).
6. The Essex County Sheriff's Department supported the Petitioner's request to be classified in Group 4. In a letter dated May 16, 1997, Willie J. Smith, Human Resources Director, stated that "since part of his duty is supervising inmates…we feel that he should be reclassified to Group 4". (Exhibit 4).
7. On May 27, 1997, the Essex County Retirement Board voted unanimously to reclassify the Petitioner in Group 4. (Exhibits 5 and 6).
8. In 1999, Essex County government was abolished and all departments and employees transitioned to state government. The Petitioner became a member of the State Retirement System. A February 22, 1999 memo to all Essex County Sheriff's Department employees from the transition team of Essex County informed the employees that "your job title and duties will remain the same and will not be affected by the transition to state government". (Exhibit 7).
9. On an August 14, 2003 Group Classification Questionnaire, the Petitioner listed his job title and employing agency as Tool Room Attendant/Janitor/Essex County Sheriff's Department. (Exhibit 13).
10. On September 30, 2003, the Petitioner retired under the Essex County Sheriff Department's 2003 Early Retirement Incentive Program. The SBR classified him in Group 2. (Testimony and Exhibits 8, 12 and 15).
11. The Petitioner did not appeal his Group 2 retirement classification in 2003. He had serious medical issues at that time. (Id.).
12. On December 26, 2006, the Petitioner wrote to the SBR and indicated that he should have been classified in Group 4. He reported that he had supervised inmates on a daily basis. (Exhibit 8).
13. On January 25, 2007, the SBR notified the Petitioner that it had classified his position, Tool Room Attendant, in Group 2. (Exhibit 9).
14. The Petitioner filed a timely appeal. (Exhibit 10).
The Petitioner is not entitled to prevail in this appeal. He has not met his burden of proving that he is entitled to be classified in Group 4 for retirement purposes.
The classification of public employees is governed by G.L. c. 32 s. 3(2)(g), which provides, with respect to Group 4:
Group 4 - Division of law enforcement of the department of fisheries, wildlife an recreational vehicles; conservation officer of the city of Haverhill having duties similar to a law enforcement officer of the department of fisheries, wildlife and recreational vehicles; …employees of the department of correction who are employed at any correctional institution or prison camp under the control of said department and who hold the position of correction officer, female correction officer, industrial instructor, recreation officer, assistant industrial shop manager, assistant to the supervisor of industries, senior correction officer, senior female correction officer, supervising correction officer, supervising female correction officer, prison camp officer, senior prison camp officer, supervising prison camp officer, assistant deputy superintendent; employees of the parole board…the sheriff, superintendent, assistant superintendent, assistant deputy superintendent and correction officers of county correctional facilities… (Emphasis added).
The position "Tool Room Attendant" does not appear in those job titles listed in Group 4.
Group 4 membership is determined by employees' job "positions or titles rather than by describing the type of work they perform". Gaw v. CRAB, 345 N.E. 2d 908, 911 (Mass. App. Ct. 1976). Following the reasoning set forth in Gaw, supra, if the legislature had intended to include the position "Tool Room Attendant" within Group 4, the language of the statute would include this job title.
The Petitioner has vehemently contended that, because two former employees of the Essex County Sheriff's Department who worked with him at the Middleton House of Correction have been classified in Group 4 for retirement purposes, it logically follows that he should be as well. This logic is flawed. Philip O'Keefe and Alexander Davie each held the position of Correction Officer/Maintenance in Essex County and were eventually afforded Group 4 classification by the Superior Court and DALA, respectively, because they performed the same duties as Correction Officers after the transition to state government even though their job titles were changed to "Maintenance/Janitor". O'Keefe v. State Board of Retirement, Essex County Superior Court Civil Action # 05-0287, Whitehead, J. (11/10/05) and Davie v. State Board of Retirement, CR-03-739 (DALA Dec. 01/26/2005, no CRAB Decision). Therefore, the actual jobs performed by Messrs. O'Keefe and Davie did not change, and their classifications in Group 4 were in compliance with G.L. c. 34B s.14(a), which provides:
[E]mployees of the sheriff of an abolished county, employed immediately before the transfer dates…shall be transferred to the commonwealth with no impairment of employment rights held immediately before the transfer date with no interruption of service, without impairment of …retirement or other rights… without reduction in compensation or salary grade…
In contrast, the Petitioner in the present case was classified as a Tool Room Attendant both immediately before and after the transition. This position has never been delineated in Group 4. The SBR's classification of the Petitioner in Group 2 is in compliance with G.L. c. 34B s. 14(a) in this case.
The Respondent is correct in its contention that a retirement board is entitled to review classification approvals that have been previously made in conjunction with a retirement application. Because Group 4 classification is determined by the employee's job title, Gaw, supra, the Essex County Retirement Board erred in classifying the Petitioner in Group 4 in May 1997. When an error is discovered, a retirement board is obligated to correct it, per G.L. c. 32 s. 20(5)(c)(2).
Thus, the SBR properly changed the Petitioner's retirement classification to Group 2. Per G.L. c. 32 s. 3(2)(g), Group 2 employees include those "whose regular and major duties require them to have the care, custody, instruction or other supervision of prisoners". The Petitioner's position falls directly into this category. Accordingly, the decision of the SBR classifying the Petitioner in Group 2 is affirmed.
So ordered.

MSU defeats UAB to secure sixth win
Call Saturday night's performance anything you wish.
Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen used one to describe it: win.
The uneasy feeling that was felt by many of the announced attendance of 56,423 at Davis-Wade Stadium was consistent during the Bulldogs 29-24 victory over Alabama-Birmingham.
"I think last year there would be some guys that would look around to the sidelines and maybe find a way to lose that game," Mullen said.
What will go down as State's sixth win of the season, which makes the program bowl eligible for the first time since 2007, required a fourth-quarter comeback drive that ended with a 39-yard field goal by Derek DePasquale and a fortunate special teams play late in the game to achieve a feeling of relief.
"I thought what our kids learned tonight more than anything was dealing with expectations," MSU defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said. "I told them tonight that we were up by three after three quarters last week – why does it feel different?"
After taking a 24-23 lead with 10 minutes left in the game, UAB (2-5) committed a personal foul penalty on its pop-up kickoff that placed the ball on their own 42-yard-line. State's offense, which inconsistently sputtered all evening, then went only 20 yards on eight plays to take the lead off DePasquale's right foot for the rest of the evening.
DePasquale, a transfer from the Colorado School of the Mines, became the first kicker since Brian Hazelwood in 1998 to tie a school record with five field goals in a contest.
"I've changed a lot of things up and I was told I was starting Friday I was excited about implementing those changes in a game," DePasquale said. "The mental part is trying to figure out what you're doing because you have no coach. You got to coach yourself."
The junior, who is now 15-of-20 in MSU career, iced the victory with a 28-yard field goal with 1:48 left after Mississippi State burned nearly 4 minutes off the game clock.
State's sixth victory and bowl eligibility were guaranteed on the ensuing kickoff when a pair of local products got together as freshman Michael Carr, a four-star recruit from West Point High School, stripped Starkville native Pat Shed on the return and the ball was eventually recovered by Nickoe Whitley.
"Our kickoff team ran on the field and Nickoe Whitley said to his team 'believe in yourself to go make a play to win the game'," Mullen said. "That's exactly what he did."
Carr finished with 23 yards off the first two carries of his Mississippi State career after not touching the football for the first seven weeks.
In a game where Mullen accused his team of "coming out flat," UAB more than doubled Mississippi State's offensive output in the first half 207-103 but both schools left for the halftime locker room tied at 10 due to the State defense producing an impressive red-zone stand and the second fumble recovery on a punt by long snapper Aaron Feld.
Feld, a senior from Homewood, Ala., used the post-game celebration to propose and get an engagement from his girlfriend Blakely Bailey at midfield.
"I did it in a private restaurant just in case I got a no," Mullen joked. "Doing it in front of 56,000 people or something that's a little scary."
The only reliable source of offense for Mississippi State (6-2) came in the form of red-shirt freshman tailback LaDarius Perkins. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound speedster ended the night with a career-high 131 yards on 18 carries with a 4-yard touchdown catch off a first-quarter shovel pass from junior quarterback Chris Relf.
Relf had some big plays in the passing game but with the Blazers defense walking eight and nine guys up to the line of scrimmage the junior from Montgomery, Ala., was only able to completed 8-of-19 passes for 107 yards.
"We hits some shots down the field, missed some shots down the field but we need to get better – we need to get a lot better," Mullen said.
Mississippi State entered the game with five starters from the 2010 season-opener (wide receiver Leon Berry, tailback Vick Ballard, center J.C. Brignone, guard Tobias Smith and tight end Marcus Green) on the sidelines with various injuries. Mullen mentioned that lack of cohesion as a major reason for the slow start that led to the close margin of victory.
With the win, State not only becomes bowl eligible before the calendar flips to November but also goes undefeated in non-conference play for the first time since 2000. The Bulldogs win streak has now reached five, the most since opening the 1999 season with a 8-0 record.
"I said (to the team) we just earned ourselves one more game," Mullen said. "One goal is that we improved off last season's win total. There's a lot of things this team wants to continue to achieve."
UAB's high-powered offense, that came into Starkville averaging over 406 total yards per game ate up a depleted MSU secondary missing backups Damien Anderson (undisclosed injury) and Dennis Thames to the tune of 236 yards passing from the right arm of Blazers junior signal caller Bryan Ellis.
"I think we have a pretty good offensive team," Ellis said. "We made too many mistakes which killed us. We just didn't get the job done tonight."
Ellis hit eight different receivers throughout Saturday night but was constantly under pressure from the Mississippi State pass rush as Diaz dialed up blitzes for a total of 10 quarterback pressures and two sacks.
Mississippi State returns to Southeastern Conference action with a home game next Saturday against a Kentucky (4-4, 1-4) team that just lost to Georgia 44-14.

Football: Oh.
This was going to be a big exciting update with a ton of exclamation points pondering the direction of Michigan football and life in general, as I was under the erroneous impression that Michigan Stadium would host a night game next year.
Er... except it's at Northwestern. So nevermind the exclamation points.
