text: Ask a simple question about who actually lived in the Altai in the old days, you can reply to a long and difficult, involving the data of history, archeology and ethnography. However, any Russian peasant from the era preceding the compulsory secondary education, you would have answered very simply: "It used to live here Chud." In the Russian North chudyu sometimes called the Finno-Ugric tribes, however, and they (the Komi and Sami, for example) there own stories about the Chud. In the Samoyed, say, the mythology mentions identified with a small underground Russian chudyu narodec sihirtya have these characters called Enets siite. In summary, Chud - is an unknown ancient people who lived in these lands before the arrival of the current population. By existed in European Russia to the legends, "white-eyed" Chud make do with robbery, lived in holes in the wood (or disappeared in them), hid the treasure under the ground. In Siberia, the folklorists of the XIX century and found a lot of legends "Chud" cycle associated with the treasures, burial mounds, ancient mines. All told tales about the Chud, as ancient people who lived as if in Siberia before coming to her, not only Russian, but also other local people. All the stories ended with instructions to complete disappearance Chud: "gone to nowhere." In the Altai Chud care was associated with the simultaneous appearance of white birch, and "the white king." The way care is uniquely named - underground. In some legends Chud hidden in their own mines, in others - buried in the dwellings, in bulk to the roof rocks and undercut support. Such legends as existed at the Russian and the local residents. V.Verbitsky writes: "In general Altai tradition, during the remote Altai chudyu was inhabited, did not have any khans or Zaisan. At that time there was no birch. How long did this unprecedented tree Chud concluding that she did not sdobrovat . dug a pit in their posts approved for the ceiling of the stones and earth, and got into the pits, been cut, these pillars, and so without further ado the whole thing finished "(Verbitsky V. The Altai non-Russians. Moscow, 1893).

What's at Stake? The CPA Profession on Federal Fiscal Responsibility
July 18, 2013
During visits to Capitol Hill in May, members of the governing Council of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) encouraged their members of Congress to address the long-term threat posed by the nation's budget deficit. To help policy makers and the public understand the significance of this issue, the AICPA released What's at Stake? The CPA Profession on Federal Fiscal Responsibility, an update of the May 2012 video What's at Stake? A CPA's Insights into the Federal Government's Finances.
In this video, Gregory Anton, CPA, CGMA, former AICPA Chairman of the Board of Directors and the founder of the Institute's "What's at Stake" initiative, explains why the federal financial statements provide a different perspective compared to the annual budget. He also reviews the 2012 Financial Report of the U.S. Government and offers guidance for policy makers and the public on how the U.S. government's financial statements can be used for greater understanding of the nation's fiscal health.
The CPA profession can play an important role in promoting the importance of fiscal responsibility. The video includes interviews with the co-chairs of the Congressional CPA and Accountants Caucus, Representatives Brad Sherman (D-CA) and Mike Conaway (R-TX), who discuss the value of the CPA in shaping this fiscal policy discussion and creating change. To get started, watch the video now and share it with clients, colleagues and your community. Resources to support CPAs in these outreach efforts can be found on aicpa.org/whatsatstake.

The Grimoire #2 (Summer 1979) - A D&D Fanzine
As I mentioned on Monday, after a lot of searching, I found my master copy of The Grimoire #1 and #2. The Grimoire: A Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy Gaming was my attempt at a gaming fanzine in the late 1970s. I produced 3 issues with a manual typewriter and rubber cement to paste in artwork -- primitive by today's standards, but fairly normal for the 1970s. The first issue was the Spring 1978 issue. Over a year passed before the second issue came out. A number of things changed over that year. I had decided to turn my Empire of Arn campaign into a complete set of variant D&D rules and was bitten by the "complexity bug" in the process. Fortunately, I got over both, but this issue reflects what was going on at the time.
This issue had much better artwork, three very nice pieces of art by Denis Loubet. These were done when he was still in college and before he started to work professionally. This issue was also full size and cost 50% less. Kinkos had arrived in San Antonio and the cost of photocopies had taken a huge drop.
The Grimoire #2 also included material for the San Antonio Wargame club, a then new club that met in the basement of Jefferson Hobby Shop in downtown San Antonio. I'll just mention SAW material in passing.
The second issue of The Grimoire was 30 pages plus the cover page. The cover had a very nice illo of First Campaign Arn characters at their most powerful -- just before the campaign ended. Front and center was Stonn in his infamous invisible and highly magical plate armor which had the unfortunate side effect of turning the wearer's clothes invisible so it looked like the wearer was unarmored and naked in the dungeon. And yes, that's a phraint and a lich in the back row. You probably do not want to know.
The next two pages had the table of contents and my editorial. Ho Hum.
The first article was "More Spells for Magic-Users." Five pages of new spells from 1st to 15th level. Many were from my games, others were from some of the other campaigns running at the San Antonio Wargaming Club. Unfortunately, they were not credited in the article and I no longer remember which spells belonged to which campaign. There were about 80 new spells listed. I think my favorite is probably "One-Way Stone Wall" which worked like Wall of Stone but only existed on one side. You could cast it behind you in a corridor where it would block pursuing monsters -- but the party could see through it and shoot arrows at the monsters.
The next pages had more rules for Metagaming's Melee and Wizard microgames and an article on Pregnancy in D&D. Then came a couple of articles on Chaosium's White Bear & Red Moon boardgame: Flying Unit Rules for White Bear & Red Moon and Additional Magic Rules for White Bear & Red Moon.
These were followed by The Monsters of Arn: two types of Horny Hordes and the Flickering Doom. The Horny Hordes were nuisance humanoids (and very silly) but the Flickering Doom was a fairly nasty low hit die monster than caused discord in those around it. It was based on a creature in ST:TOS episode "Day of the Dove." Some of "The Treasures of Arn" were next. This included one of my favorite cursed items: the wand of deluded detection. It worked like the wand of detection it was supposed to be the first time a person used it, but from then on it would not detect items that were there but would falsely "detect" items that were not there.
The Treasures of Arn article was followed by a picture of Cheryn, Empress of Arn with her "Sword of Ending" -- the last of a set of five identical swords that were artifacts associated with the Empire of Arn.
Next up was "New Independents for White Bear & Red Moon: Fanla the Witch." This was another of my independent creations for WB&RM. Fanla was unique in that she could be played as an independent (with her power at its ebb point) or as another side played by an additional player (with her power at its peak).
Fanla was followed by "Weird Techno Weapons for D&D." These were basically magic wands in the form of guns that could only be used by Technos. Over three pages of new rules for Melee and Wizard followed, including a good number of new spells. An expanded version of the Spell Points article from the first issue was next, this time including spell point formulas for many of the early Arduin classes.
Page 20 has an article on adding Explorer and Dreadnought ships from SPI's Outreach game to SPI's Starforce game. "Spell Effectiveness in D&D" added a strange system for determining how effective a spell was cast. I'm the author of this article, but I can't remember even using this system. At the end of this article is the third piece of Loubet art, a cartoon titled "Those Damn Teleport Spells."
Next up was a expanded for Arn version of the first issues "Divine Intervention in D&D." It is probably useless for campaigns other than First or Second Campaign Arn.
The last article before the four page SAW section at the end of the zine was a humor piece titled "From the 666th Plane of the Abyss." It describes RPG designers as demon lords based solely on their writings about each other and other games in magazines of the time.
The SAW section closed out the second issue.
About 50 copies were printed. Players in my campaign and authors got free copies, the rest were sold to SAW members and at a convention in Austin. Cover price was $1.50. Like the first issue, I haven't seen a copy since 1980 or so and I doubt many survive. I don't have a copy other than my typed master.
[BTW, I'm working on scanning in both issues so those who would like copies will be able to get them as pdfs.]

I wish I'd saved Denis' experience record sheets as they often included some fine doodles. Of course, I didn't think of it at the time, so they when into the trash with all the others after experience was figured for the seesion.

Having seen Terry review these over at 'The Chocolate Review', I thought I would give the Tunnocks range a well deserved look over. Today I started with the 'Milk Chocolate Caramel Wafer Biscuit', which is exactly what it says on the tin!! I hadn't had one of these for years, though they were a huge childhood favourite of mine, I used to consume them by the truckload when I was a wee nipper.
The wrapper had a nice retro look, unsurprising really since these have been made since the 1890s!! It had a nice bright foil outer exterior, though had a paper based interior ... this may just be nostalgia but I really liked the format and use of the red and gold colours. The bar itself didn't seem to have changed one bit ... well since I can remember anyway! The chocolate layers appeared thin, though the caramel placed in between the wafer looked plentiful and appetising. The product had quite a weak sweet smell, I guess this wasn't helped by the lack of tightness of the wrapper ... the bar wasn't actually sealed, the paper wrapper was only folded to contain the bar within.
This is going to sound very silly but the bar tasted exactly how it looked. The milk chocolate coating was extremely thin, which meant that the cocoa flavours didn't have much of a say in the overall taste once the caramel and wafer elements came into play. As you all know I am no big fan of wafers, but the caramel placed in between, gave the one in this bar a far more substantial feel than the average. The wheaty flavours of the wafer were further accentuated by the sweetness of the caramel and provided a very biscuity, sweet taste. The chewiness of the caramel and crunchiness of the wafer provided some fantastic contrastive textures. Despite its relatively small size (30.0g), in comparison to some standard chocolate bars this felt like a more fulfilling snack.
Overall after eating this I remember why I used to eat these so often in my youth. There are some areas that could do with a little fine tuning - the chocolate for instance could do with being twice the thickness to give it more of a meaningful contribution to the taste. Saying this, I can see why Tunnock's wouldn't want to play with a recipe that is over 100 years old ... the mixture of the caramel and wafer is fantastic - as the saying goes ... why fix something that ain't broke!! Chances are you have consumed one of these in your lifetime ... if you haven't there are no excuses now!!

Air Quality at Mesa Verde National Park
What's in the Air?
Most people who visit national parks expect clean air and clear views. However, Mesa Verde National Park (NP), Colorado, well known for its archeological remains of the Anasazi, lies downwind of polluted air from coal-fired power plants in the Four Corners region, nearby mining, and urban and industrial pollutants from the Southwest U.S., California, and Mexico. Pollutants emitted from these sources can harm the park's natural and scenic resources such as vegetation, surface waters, and visibility.
How is air pollution affecting Mesa Verde National Park?
- Levels of nitrogen in wet deposition are increasing and may harm sensitive ecosystems in the park. more »
- High levels of airborne mercury deposit in park ecosystems, presenting a potential wildlife and human health concern. more »
- Ground-level ozone concentrations are increasing and plant species known to be very sensitive to ozone are found in the park. more »
- Fine particles of air pollution sometimes cause haze in the park, affecting how well and how far visitors can see vistas and landmarks. more »
What is the National Park Service doing about air pollution at the park?
- Monitoring nitrogen, sulfur, mercury, ozone, fine particles, haze, and dust to assess status and trends. more »
- Evaluating the impacts of air pollution on park ecosystems. more »
- Working with the Four Corners Air Quality Group, a group of state, federal, and local agencies, and tribes, to develop strategies to reduce regional air pollution and protect and restore park resources. Read about Clearing the Air in the Four Corners. The NPS also reviews plans for development that may increase air pollution in national parks. more »
- Reducing the number of vehicles on the road to archaeological sites by using one of the first NPS-funded shuttle systems, and replacing these gasoline-powered trams with new alternative fuel vehicles. The park also utilizes other green technologies to reduce use of fossil fuels, including nearby solar voltaic panels, hydroelectric turbines, and passive heat/cooling system for new facility construction. more »

Daisy, Daisy give me your answer, do. Circle Skirt and Sunbe...
Added Aug 16, 2013
Somewhere, Ireland
Summer just isn't over yet!!!
Both items are entirely my own design. A simple fully lined circle skirt and sunbeams inspired crop bustier top. I got the fabric online and although the exposure isn't really great, it has some 3D daisy prints on it, very very cute even if I do say so myself.
I took my time with the hemming of the skirt. Hemming a circle skirt can be a right pain as it tends to twist in every which angle while sewing, but I have found a wonderful tutorial online for "Hemming a curved edge by machine" which made all the difference. Some tutorials on Youtube are unnecessarily complicated, but this one is easy to follow although time-consuming.
It took me over an hours and I'm not joking but it's really worth it. Pressing and pressing and pressing!
Taking your time on your project makes it look professional, rushing is never a good idea. Creased projects are a no-no! Can't say it enough.
check the tutorial for hemming: http://www.coletterie.com/tutorials-tips-tricks/tutorial-hemming-a-curved-edge-by-machine
The bustier is my own design and will upload a tutorial for that if someone interested to make one for herself.
Although it is a very simple outfit, it looks striking and takes some time to make :) I hope you like it!

Featured News - Current News - Archived News - News Categories
Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-I-C-Lewiston, will introduce legislation to legalize mixed martial arts in New York. The sport is expected to generate more than $5.2 million in economic activity a year in Western New York, plus additional revenue for the state. Currently, MMA is regulated and recognized by 36 out of 44 states that have athletic commissions, including California, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
"Once again, New York state is missing out on an opportunity to generate revenue, create jobs and strengthen our tourism industry," Ceretto said. "Mixed martial arts is not the 'no-holds barred' debacle it was 20 years ago. Today, MMA is highly regulated and is one of the safest contact sports, with far fewer injuries than boxing, football or even gymnastics. MMA is a proven draw, and I look forward to the day when venues in Niagara Falls and throughout the region have the ability to host these exciting and profitable events."
"MMA will be another event to help bring tourist(s) and their dollars to Niagara Falls, and would be a boost for local hotels, food-service and other tourist-related industries," Ceretto said. "The sport is very popular and has a loyal fanbase, which is rapidly growing worldwide. These fans want to enjoy the sport live, and I believe Niagara Falls would be an ideal venues for these events."
Ceretto said opponents of the sport are misinformed and noted that the Ultimate Fighting Championship made rule changes several years ago to enhance the sport's safety and make it more palatable to both the mainstream public and top-notch athletes and competitors.
"I understand that some people may not like the sport. However, there is no reason to stand in the way of allowing thousands of New York mixed martial arts fans to enjoy the sport locally," Ceretto said. "The sport is all over television and can even be seen regularly on broadcast television. By failing to (legalize) MMA in New York, the Legislature is just ensuring that this money is spent elsewhere and depriving our economy of a proven commodity that will have a positive effect on a wide range of businesses. As the ranking member of the assembly tourism committee, I find that unacceptable. MMA should be a part of our local tourism industry, and I am confident that common sense will finally trump misguided perceptions of the sport this year."

Empowering our veterans: Job day helps with transition
A local Ferry County-based company is spearheading an online event to bring career experts from around the country with former military personnel who have successfully transitioned to the civilian workforce -- together providing critical tools, advice, and insights for newly transitioning veterans.These experts and vets are part of the sixth annual Job Action Day, which takes place Monday, Nov. 4. The virtual event is hosted by Quintessential Careers, one of the most comprehensive career sites on the Web."Hundreds of thousands of veterans and current military personnel are leaving the armed forces annually," said Dr. Randall Hansen, publisher and CEO of Quintessential Careers. "These people have served our country with honor and now want to transition into the civilian workforce, seeking jobs in government and the private sector, as well as considering starting their own businesses."The problem, according to Hansen, is that many transitioning military struggle with understanding what employers want... and employers struggle to understand how each vet's military service applies to the experience the employer requires for job openings. "The goal of this year's Job Action Day is to empower, enlighten, and educate transitioning military on all aspects of job-hunting – showcasing how to use the skills and experience from the military and apply them to civilian jobs," said Hansen. "It's especially exciting because we not only have career experts sharing their knowledge, but we have a large number of successfully transitioned veterans sharing their insights, struggles, and tips."Topics scheduled to be covered for Job Action Day include:- How to Successfully Transition From Military to Civilian- Are You Ready to Transition from Military to Civilian?

Western professor to exhibit lifetime of art
DANBURY, CONN. — Because of his metaphoric and narrative style, artist John Wallace has been coined a storyteller — and his bold, original paintings have captivated art audiences for more than five decades.
From Feb. 17 through March 10, 2011, Wallace, a former art professor at Western Connecticut State University, will exhibit his paintings at the university's Higgins Gallery. A reception for Wallace will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 17, in the gallery on the university's Midtown campus, 181 White St. in Danbury. The reception will be free and open to the public. The gallery hours will be Mondays through Thursdays from noon to 4 p.m.
"John Wallace has been an inspiration and a mentor to generations of students at WCSU," said Western Professor of Art Margaret Grimes, describing his paintings as ambitious and stunningly original. She said the artist's more recent works "blend astronomical, astrological and mythological elements in an expression of the infinite and spirituality."
Wallace, who received a B.F.A. from Washington University and an M.F.A. from Indiana University, taught at Western from 1982 through 2009 and was co-coordinator of the M.F.A. program from 2000 thru 2009. He also studied at Skowhegan, where he received a Margaret Tiffany Blake fellowship for creating a fresco in the choir loft of the South Solon Meeting House, which is now a historic landmark. He is also the recipient of a Huntingdon Hartford Fellowship and a Roswell Museum Fellowship.
Western Connecticut State University offers outstanding faculty in a range of quality academic programs. Our diverse university community provides students an enriching and supportive environment that takes advantage of the unique cultural offerings of Western Connecticut and New York. Our vision: To be an affordable public university with the characteristics of New England's best small private universities.

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
Elizabeth Hanchett,
v. Docket No. CR-07-659
Dated: February 11, 2010
State Board of Retirement,
Appearance for Petitioner:
Thomas D. Downey, Esq.
Pellegrini, Seeley, Ryan & Blakesley, P.C.
1145 Main Street 0 P.O. Box 30009
Springfield, MA 01103
Appearance for Respondent:
Melinda E. Troy, Esq.
State Board of Retirement
One Ashburton Place, 12th Floor
Boston, MA 02108
Administrative Magistrate:
Sarah H. Luick, Esq.
Petitioner is not entitled to a Group 2 job classification upon retirement from her job at Western Massachusetts Hospital as a nursing assistant I rendering direct patient care primarily in a unit with patients who have intermediate, end of life, and respite care needs. Even with as many as four or five Alzheimer's patients and possibly some mentally retarded respite care patients out of the nineteen total patients in her unit, she has not proven that her regular and major duties are providing direct care to predominately mentally ill or mentally defective persons as required for a Group 2 job classification. The decision of the respondent giving her a Group 1 job classification is affirmed.
Pursuant to G.L. c. 32, § 16(4), petitioner, Elizabeth Hanchett, is appealing the August 31, 2007 decision of respondent, State Board of Retirement, denying her request for a Group 2 job classification, and instead giving her a Group 1 job classification for her nursing assistant I position. (Ex. 2.) The appeal was timely filed. (Ex. 1.) A hearing was held November 18, 2009, at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA), 98 North Washington Street, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114, pursuant to G.L. c. 7, § 4H.
Various documents are in evidence. (Exs. 1 - 7.) Both parties filed pre-hearing memoranda. (Exs. A & B.) One tape was used. Petitioner testified. Both parties made arguments on the record.
1. Elizabeth Hanchett, d.o.b. 8/9/51, began employment at Western Massachusetts Hospital (WMH) in or around 1986 as a nursing assistant I. She primarily worked in unit south I. (Exs. A, B & 7.)
2. The general responsibilities of a nursing assistant I at WMH working in units south I, II and III are to carry out "various direct and indirect patient care services necessary in caring for the personal needs and comfort of adult and geriatric patients." The work is done under the supervision of registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, and the position does not direct any other staff at WMH." The nursing assistant I has to be certified as a certified nurse's aide, able to "communicate effectively," work in a "team setting," "exercise sound judgment," engage in heavy lifting including carrying persons, and be sensitive "to the feelings and problems of persons who are emotionally disturbed, mentally retarded, or physically handicapped." The job requires knowledge of "post mortem procedures," as well as the specific policies and procedures in place for the patients in each of the units where the nursing assistant is working. (Ex. 4.)
3. Specific tasks done by a nursing assistant I working in units south I, II and III
include giving "direct patient care such as taking vital signs, changing simple dressings, performing basic first aid, recording intake and output, giving enemas, [and] applying ice packs and compresses." The nursing assistant I helps the nursing staff with such tasks as "running errands, changing linen, transporting and cleaning equipment, delivering messages, responding to patient call lights, [and] serving and collecting food trays." The nursing assistant I carries out "daily care and the personal or hygiene needs of patients by giving baths, backrubs and feedings, including G/tube and J/tube feedings, grooming, toileting and performing other activities of daily living in order to promote patient wellness." The nursing assistant I watches patient behaviors, takes notes on physical changes and reports on these observations, "transfers and transports patients using unit equipment and proper body mechanics," participates at meetings about a patient's care and treatment, carries out "rehabilitative training to patients such as bowel and bladder training, range of motion exercises, positioning, and good body alignment," and works with others "in a cooperative, confidential and professional manner to facilitate proper communication of patient care." The nursing assistant I also serves "meals, snacks and water to patients," helps patients with walking and exercising, and assists families and visitors of patients. (Ex. 4.)
4. Ms. Hanchett typically worked the 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM shift in unit south I. The patient capacity there was always around nineteen patients. She worked alone and with the nursing staff in meeting direct patient care needs. She would go from bed to bed each shift to cover all nineteen patients. (Testimony.)
5. The patients served at WMH are separated into different units at the facility. In south I are the transitional care patients. Included are patients with intermediate or step down care needs, patients needing end of life care, and patients needing respite care. The intermediate care patients "receive the full scope of nursing and medical services … but usually at a reduced level that is adjusted to changing care requirements … [and] staff begins accelerated discharge planning with patients and/or family and prepares them for the transition to home or to another healthcare facility." The end of life care patients who suffer from terminal illnesses are persons unable to be adequately cared for in their homes. There is a "multi-disciplinary team" that renders around the clock care. The patients typically have "multiple and often complex symptoms that affect the body, mind and spirit in a multitude of ways," and the staff gives them "holistic care" with an emphasis "on pain and symptom management" that "includes psychosocial support, pastoral care and volunteer services for both patients and families." The respite care patients may be admitted for time periods "of 1-2 weeks annually," to provide a break for family members "from their care giving responsibilities." The hospital staff "support patients in daily routines and assist them with self-care; or provide skilled nursing and medical services as the patient may require." These patients have "a variety of medical diagnoses, including mental retardation." (Ex. 5.)
6. The patients in unit south II have "neurological diseases." The average age of these patients is fifty-five. Typically, these patients "are admitted in the middle to the advanced stages of their disease," and need "preventative and restorative care" until the disease advances to the point where the patient needs "total care for most or all of the activities of daily living." The average stay for such a patient is "243 days." The caregiving focuses on disease modification, shortening exacerbations and slowing the progression of the disease, as well as "symptoms control, functional improvement, and improvement in the quality of life" such as "assisting patients to develop satisfying interpersonal relationships, to achieve social integration and to participate in meaningful spiritual and recreational activities." These patients are served "by a team of nursing staff, primary care physician, social worker, nutritionist, pharmacist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech and language pathologist, recreational therapist, psychiatrist and pastoral care coordinator." Each patient has a care plan to address a variety of needs. (Ex. 5.)
7. The patients in unit south III are in need of respiratory care such as "management and weaning off of mechanical ventilation and management of artificial airways." These patients typically have had long intensive care unit stays after surgical complications, need "central venous access for IV antibiotics, parenteral nutrition and fluid management," and need to resolve their sepsis. They "have multi-drug resistant organisms such as MRSA and VRE," and need "total care and are deconditioned from their extended illness." These patients receive "physical therapy and occupational therapy as well as intervention from a speech/language pathologist who resolves issues with swallowing difficulties, communication deficits and cognitive impairment." The patients are "at high risk for skin tissue breakdown due to their fragile cardiopulmonary and nutritional status as well as their immobility." They can also have "co-morbid conditions" such as "cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, diabetes, renal insufficiency, complications of strokes, neurological and neuromuscular disorders, gastrointestinal conditions and seizure disorders." They require many medications, and various specialists work together as part of a "healthcare team." Various equipment is used such as a "mechanical ventilator" which can expose the patient to "developing ventilator associated pneumonia."
(Ex. 5.)
8. The Alzheimer's disease and related disorders program patients are in units north 2 and north 3. These patients are over fifty and have been diagnosed with "dementia of varied etiology such as Alzheimer's disease, multi-infarct dementia, or sub-cortical dementia (Huntington's, Parkinson's)." Staff work to stabilize "severe behaviors related to cognitive impairment of a non-psychiatric type that cannot be managed in an alternative setting," such as "severe disruptive patterns of behavior characterized by physical aggression to self, staff, or other patients." These patients "also exhibit significant poor judgment, short-term memory loss, confusion and disorientation that cannot be managed safely in another facility." The units are both small settings. A "multi-disciplinary team" cares for these patients including a "psychologist, physical therapist, speech/language pathologist, occupational therapist, respiratory therapist, dentist, and optometrist." Involved with the care plans for these patients is an effort to "promote independence in activities of daily living; maintain independent ambulation without mechanical aides or physical assistance; treat co-morbid medical/psychiatric conditions of a non-acute nature; enhance the patient's participation in social activities; maintain integration of patient in the nuclear family; provide preventative care and promote optimal health status; and discharge the patient to a less restrictive environment." The nurses working with these patients assist them in maintaining independence, giving them free access to the unit, and de-escalating their behaviors using a structured program. (Ex. 5.)
9. Ms. Hanchett received special training to work with Alzheimer's patients as early as 1995. Due to an overflow of patients for the units north 2 and north 3 program, there are usually four or five Alzheimer's patients of the nineteen patients in unit south I. The Alzheimer's patients have trouble sleeping, are disruptive to other patients, and go into other patients' rooms. Special care instructions for such patients are listed on their care charts, and specific information is obtained at the start of the shift from the staff just ending their shift. Often, working with an Alzheimer's patient involves trying to calm the patient, or calling a code for security to come to help control the patient. At times Ms. Hanchett worked as a "floater," covering the work of a nursing assistant I in units other than south I, including working in the units north 2 and north 3. (Ex. 6. Testimony.)
10. On May 14, 2005, Ms. Hanchett was injured at work by an Alzheimer's patient. The patient was sitting at the end of her bed, got up, an alarm went off, Ms. Hanchett arrived, and she was assaulted by the patient. She filed a notice of injury form and lost time from work for which she received workers' compensation. She never felt able to return to her job and stopped working. (Ex. 7. Testimony.)
11. Ms. Hanchett filed for and received superannuation retirement in 2005. In connection with her retirement she filled out the State Board of Retirement's group classification questionnaire and also had her employer sign the form. She referred to her job as a certified nurse's aide at WMH from 1987. She noted that she was receiving workers' compensation for having been hurt by a Alzheimer's patient she was caring for who assaulted her. Ms. Hanchett sought a Group 2 job classification for her position. (Exs. A, B & 3. Testimony.)
12. The State Board of Retirement denied her request by letter of decision of August 31, 2007, and placed her position in Group 1 for retirement purposes. Ms. Hanchett timely appealed this decision, arguing that she provided direct care, custody, and/or supervision to mentally challenged individuals to entitle her to a Group 2 job classification. (Exs. 1 & 2.)
For a Group 2 job classification, the member's last position and duties prior to retirement are examined. Maddocks v. CRAB, 369 Mass. 488, 493-494 (1976).
G.L. c. 32, § 3(2)(g) describes Group 2 to cover "employees of the commonwealth … regardless of any official classification … whose regular and major duties require them to have the care, custody, instruction or other supervision of parolees or persons who are mentally ill, mentally defective,
or defective delinquents."
Ms. Hanchett argues that because included in the patients she cared for were Alzheimer's disease patients, she has shown that she provided "care, custody, instruction or other supervision of … persons who are mentally ill, mentally defective," to entitle her to a Group 2 job classification for her work at WMH. The State Board of Retirement does not dispute that she provided "medical services to individuals with medical conditions," but that the patients she routinely cared for did not have mental illness and were not mentally defective. (Ex. B.) The Board contends that caring on occasion for Alzheimer's patients does not transform her duties from primarily providing direct care to non-mentally ill or non-mentally defective patients at WMH. Ms. Hanchett cites the case of Neergheen v. State Board of Retirement, CR-07-439 (DALA, 2009), where a psychiatrist working at WMH in units north 2 and 3 was found to have been providing direct care to mentally ill patients, i.e., Alzheimer's patients, to entitle him to a Group 2 job classification. The decision found that Alzheimer's disease is a mental illness under Department of Mental Health regulations at 104 CMR 29.04(3)(a)(1) through (4). (Ex. A.) I agree that the Alzheimer's patients Ms. Hanchett worked with were mentally ill or mentally defective as those terms are used in Section 3(2)(g) under Group 2. Even if not all her work was with Alzheimer's patients, Ms. Hanchett contends that a substantial amount of her time was spent giving direct care to Alzheimer's patients.
Ms. Hanchett's claim of working a substantial amount of her time with Alzheimer's patients as sufficient to give her a Group 2 job classification must fail because there is insufficient proof that, as required by Section 3(2)(g), her "regular and major duties" involved working directly with Alzheimer's patients. I do not find that her testimony shows she worked a substantial amount of her time with Alzheimer's patients. They composed at most, five of the nineteen patients in unit south I she routinely cared for. Therefore, she did not spend a majority of her time caring for Alzheimer's patients. The kind of patient who could be cared for in unit south I could also include mentally retarded respite care patients. (See, Exhibit 5.) There is ample case law finding that such persons are covered by the language in Section 3(2)(g) at Group 2 as "mentally ill or mentally defective." See, Green v. State Board of Retirement, CR-06-1121 (DALA, 2008); Cardin v. State Board of Retirement, CR-00-096 (DALA, 2001); Grieve v. State Board of Retirement, CR-98-177 (DALA, 1999). Ms. Hanchett did not make any claim that she provided direct care to any such diagnosed patients, and never testified to a number of mentally retarded patients she routinely cared for as she did for Alzheimer's patients.
Ms. Hanchett has not met her burden of proof to show that a majority of the patients she cared for at any given time were "mentally ill or mentally defective." Wakefield Retirement Board v. CRAB, 352 Mass. 499 (1967). See, Miers v. State Board of Retirement, CR-06-441 (DALA, 2007) where a nursing assistant I in unit south II could not gain a Group 2 job classification because the patients she cared were not "mentally ill or mentally defective."
For these reasons, the decision of the State Board of Retirement is affirmed. So ordered.

Nike Air Jordan 3 has brought Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand to a legacy. 987-1988 was an outstanding season for Michael Jordan performance wise. Air Jordan 3 brought Michael Jordan won the Slam Dunk contest, All Star MVP, All-Defensive First Team and Defensive Player of the Year. Through all this success, he was wearing the Air Jordan 3.
The Jumpman Logo was first used on Air Jordan 3, by replacing the "Wings Logo" on Air Jordan 1 & Air Jordan 2. The Air Jordan 3 is the first mid top Air Jordan. It is much lighter than Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 2. Air Jordan 3 was the first Air Jordan to have a visible air-sole unit and adding in an "elephant print" on the toe box. Nike's selling strategy was simple, and great, they had Michael Jordan and Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee). The commercial has impressed lots of audience. Air Jordan 3 is one of the favorite Air Jordan of Sneaker heads. It is pity that Jordan Brand has announced that they will stop producing the Air Jordan 3 temporarily in 2014. The Black Cement and the White Cement are the popular color-way of Air Jordan 3.

Influenza A Virus in Swine
Swine influenza is a respiratory disease of swine caused by multiple subtypes of type A influenza viruses. SIV in swine is not a reportable or regulated animal disease in the United States. The virus is endemic in swine populations in North and South America, Asia, and Europe. The influenza virus genome consists of eight distinct gene segments and the subtypes of viruses are generally described by the characterization of two gene segments, the hemagglutinun (HA) gene and neuraminidase (NA) gene. Classic SIV infection was caused by the H1N1 subtype and remained relatively unchanged while circulating in U.S. swine populations for over 75 years. Since 1998, SIV infections in the United States have evolved from a seasonal disease caused by a single, relatively stable H1N1 genotype to an endemic year-round respiratory disease caused by multiple genetically unstable SIV subtypes (H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2). USDA APHIS VS' national SIV surveillance program monitors genetic changes in endemic, emerging, and novel influenza virus isolates from pigs exhibiting influenza-like illness.
Pseudorabies (also known as Aujesky's disease or "mad itch") is a viral disease most prevalent in swine, often causing newborn piglets to die. Older pigs can survive infection, becoming carriers of the pseudorabies virus for life. Other animals infected from swine die from pseudorabies. Infected cattle and sheep can first show signs of pseudorabies by scratching and biting themselves. In dogs and cats, pseudorabies can cause sudden death. The virus does not cause illness in humans.

Classical Swine Fever
Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is a highly contagious viral disease that affects swine. Once called hog cholera, CSF has been eradicated from many developed nations. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) in cooperation with the National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) oversees and implements the National Classical Swine Fever Surveillance Program. This program is designed to rapidly detect the introduction of CSF virus into US swine. Developed in 2005 under the direction of the National Surveillance Unit, this surveillance program is part of the national effort to provide effective surveillance. It provides for the rapid detection of CSF brought into this country either accidentally, or as an act of bioterrorism. Select the links below for a detailed description of the surveillance program, targeted sampling populations and disease information.
Swine Brucellosis
Swine brucellosis is a contagious, infectious, and communicable diseases of swine caused by Brucella suis ( B. suis) biovars 1 or 3.
Trichinae Herd Certification Program
The Trichinella herd certification program provides a mechanism for ensuring the quality and safety of animal-derived food products from the farm through slaughter. Control of Trichinella infection in U.S. pork has traditionally been accomplished by individual slaughter inspection of carcasses or by post-slaughter processing requirements. This program certifies pork production sites following production practices that reduce, eliminate, or avoid the risk of animal exposure to Trichinella. The regulations promulgated for this program are currently under review to ensure that they align with the 2014 Farm Bill and continue to support export of swine and swine products.
Swine Health Protection Act
The Swine Health Protection Act (SHPA) regulates food waste containing any meat products fed to swine. Compliance with this act ensures that all food waste fed to swine is properly treated to kill disease organisms. Raw meat may transmit numerous infectious or communicable diseases to swine. Raw meat can transmit exotic animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, African swine fever, classical swine fever, and swine vesicular disease. In accordance with the SHPA and Federal regulations, food waste containing meat may only be fed to swine if it has been treated to kill disease organisms. The links below contain information on the SHPA, regulations, participating states, cooking standards and licensing procedures.

The Genius of Jackie Chan
He's a cinematic artist on par with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.
Take a look at our Magnum Photos martial arts gallery. Follow Slate's Today's Pictures on Twitter.
These days, Jackie Chan is a joke. He can still clean up at the box office with movies like Rush Hour 3 and The Forbidden Kingdom, but describe the man as an "artist" and watch people burst into laughter. This puts him in good company. Charlie Chaplin ended his life in political exile, Buster Keaton was a forgotten shadow when he died, and Jacques Tati's last major film bankrupted him.
It may seem perverse to compare the man who stars in the remake of The Karate Kid to three of the greatest filmmakers of all time, but take a look at Jackie Chan's body of work outside of Hollywood, and the parallels with these legendary figures are striking. All four men are director/performers who exerted absolute control over their movies, creating alternate worlds where the laws of physics were up for grabs. Improvising their movies, working consistently with the same crew of dedicated craftsmen, they didn't just turn out filmed stories, they made movies in the purest sense. A Buster Keaton or a Jackie Chan movie sounds simplistic when you describe the plot, but when you watch it, the physicality of the performance and the originality of the filmmaking are virtuosic. In the West, Chan is sold as a sideshow freak: See the Chinaman risk his life to entertain you! No stuntmen! No wires! Read a list of his injuries and marvel that he can still walk! But beyond the life-threatening stunts, beyond the broken bones, he is one of cinema's great artists. Click here for a video slide show on the genius of Jackie Chan.

Dr. Katz' Top 5 Bad Breath Prevention Tips
By Dr. Harold Katz - Bad Breath Expert
Posted: October 20, 2009
Note from Dr. Katz' desk:
As a dentist specializing in the treatment of halitosis, I have treated over ten thousand patients through the California Breath Clinics. I typically start each first consultation with a brief overview I thought would be helpful to share with you. It goes a little something like this...
Everyone has the germs responsible for bad breath living on their tongue and in the back of their throat. Under the right circumstances, those germs will cause bad breath. The trick to always having fresh breath is stopping those bad breath germs from gobbling up protein, digesting it, and excreting sulfur all over your mouth... Sorry about painting that picture, but it's a very accurate description of what takes place in your mouth every day.
Luckily, it's not complicated to keep bad breath bacteria in check. Here are five simple and common sense tips you can use every day to minimize opportunities for halitosis to strike:
1. Drink plenty of water
It's good for you. It keeps you strong, thin, healthy, and young looking. It also keeps your breath fresh. A well hydrated mouth is one rich with saliva. Saliva is your body's own and most effective germ fighter. Drink more water, have more saliva, control mouth germs, have fresher breath. Simple, right? 2. Check your prescriptions
Medication that may improve your overall health may also improve the environment for bad breath germs. Many prescriptions have dry mouth as a side effect. Dry mouth means a lack of saliva and rampant bacterial growth. If you experience Dry Mouth from prescriptions, using a regimen such a TheraBreath Toothpaste and Oral Rinse will help restore a healthy amount of moisture and encourage saliva production. A healthy level of saliva is necessary to maintain fresh breath.
3. Rinse after every meal (even if it's only with water)
Most people brush only once a day. As a dentist, it's disappointing to say the least. That means that food you have at breakfast after your morning brushing has a chance to feed bacteria in your mouth for 23 or so hours. That's more than enough time to not only feed bad breath bacteria but to encourage plaque and decay. If I can't get you to brush after every meal, at least rinse with drinking water. Swish it around vigorously to remove traces of sugars and proteins and dislodge any food that may stick in between teeth and gums. Then spit or swallow, as the occasion dictates.
Remember however that water will simply remove pollutants that will feed bacteria that cause bad breath. To effectively control this bacteria you will need to use a toothpaste and mouthwash with an active ingredient such as TheraBreath. And don't be like most people... remember to brush every morning AND every night. Your dentist will thank you.
4. Protein supplements feed germs too
Many nutritional supplements like whey and creatine are a germs perfect snack. It makes sense. Those supplements are designed to rapidly and efficiently feed your body. On the way to your stomach they feed hungry germs in your oral cavity as well. If you are taking protein supplements make sure you carefully and thoroughly brush and rinse after every dose. Don't give bad breath germs a free meal.
5. A white or yellow tongue means germs are having a party
The colored coating on your tongue is actually a layer of bacteria waste. There, I said it. If your tongue has a thick coating that is white or yellow, it typically means bacteria are running wild. You will usually see such a coating if you forgot to brush the night before, after drinking alcohol which both feeds bacteria and dries your mouth, or if you are having a minor sore throat or other bacterial infection.
To help the problem, clean your tongue as well as the inside of your cheeks with either a tongue scraper or toothbrush covered with TheraBreath Toothpaste. This will quickly remove the coating and begin to control the bacteria producing it. Left unchecked, this bacteria can lead to much worse oral care problems than simple halitosis.
My patients have always found these tips helpful, and I hope you will too.
Yours in good health,
Dr. Harold Katz

Sprains and Strains
A sprain is a stretched or torn ligament. Ligaments are tissues that connect bones at a joint. Falling, twisting, or getting hit can all cause a sprain. Ankle and wrist sprains are common. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and being unable to move your joint. You might feel a pop or tear when the injury happens.
A strain is a stretched or torn muscle or tendon. Tendons are tissues that connect muscle to bone. Twisting or pulling these tissues can cause a strain. Strains can happen suddenly or develop over time. Back and hamstring muscle strains are common. Many people get strains playing sports. Symptoms include pain, muscle spasms, swelling, and trouble moving the muscle.
At first, treatment of both sprains and strains usually involves resting the injured area, icing it, wearing a bandage or device that compresses the area, and medicines. Later treatment might include exercise and physical therapy.

Sprint Says WiMax Commercial Launch Will be Delayed
Published on: 1st Apr 2008
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
LAS VEGAS (Dow Jones) Sprint Nextel will delay the commercial launch of its Xohm WiMax service until later in the year, a spokesman said Wednesday.
The Overland Park, Kan., carrier was originally scheduled to launch the service this month. But it will come later this year, said spokesman James Fisher. It's the latest in a series of setbacks for the troubled company.
Chatter at the CTIA Wireless trade show here suggests it will occur in the summer.
"The delay of Xohm's commercial launch is a major blow for Sprint, and the storm clouds are only getting darker over the entire WiMax sector," said Clint Wheelock, chief research officer for ABI Research.
Sprint had already disappointed many by failing to provide more details on WiMax during the show. Expectations were high for Chief Executive Dan Hesse to make a big splash, but only managed a new phone.
Sprint has been in talks with the cable companies to provide additional funding for the rollout and create a separate company with Clearwire, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Sprint's WiMax project has been a source of criticism from some on Wall Street, who would prefer the company focus on the core cellular business.
It comes at a time when industry experts debate the longevity of WiMax, especially as many of the other carriers back a rival fourth-generation technology called Long-Term Evolution.
"I'm still confident that WiMax will move forward in a significant way, but its edge over competing 4G networks is getting duller all the time," Wheelock said.
Sprint currently has had soft launches in Chicago, D.C., and Baltimore, which Fisher said were going well.
"We want to make sure the launch meets our expectation," Fisher said.
He added the delay wasn't an issue with technology.

text: Wheat Climbs on Argentine Crop Damage, Outlook for Steady Demand October 18, 2013 03:45 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Wheat rose in Chicago, set for a fifth weekly gain, after Argentina said cold and drought hurt its crop and on speculation U.S. and European exports will be sustained. The grain reached a four-month high in Paris trading. Argentina, the second-largest Southern Hemisphere wheat shipper after Australia, is predicting a 2013-14 wheat crop of 8.8 million metric tons after cold weather and a lack of rain damaged 100,000 hectares (247,105 acres). That compares with an International Grains Council forecast for 11 million tons. "A pickup in demand and production worries around the world drive buyers," Paul Georgy, Allendale Inc.'s president, wrote in a comment. "Traders are waiting for any indication Argentine wheat exports could be halted. This would place additional strain on tight U.S. hard red wheat carryover." Wheat for delivery in December added 1.5 percent to $6.965 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade when trading was paused at 7:45 a.m. Milling wheat for delivery in November traded on NYSE Liffe in the French capital touched 202.75 euros ($277.80) a ton, the highest since June 10, before trading up 1.1 percent at 201.75 euros. Argentina's wheat exports may fall to 2 million tons in 2013-14 from 3.1 million tons in the previous season and 11.4 million tons in 2011-12, the country's Agriculture Ministry wrote in a report yesterday. "The big news overnight" is the Argentine outlook, Dave Norris, an independent U.K. feed trader, wrote in an online comment. "They may be pretty close to the truth with this one. There's been talk of production below 10 million tons lately." 71% Surge European Union soft-wheat export licenses in the current 2013-14 season jumped 71 percent from a year earlier to 8.02 million metric tons as of Oct. 15, the bloc reported yesterday. U.S. sales since June 1 were up 38 percent in annual terms as of Sept. 19, according to data published before the Oct. 1-16 partial government shutdown. "Wheat will likely continue to be well supported for at least another four to six weeks as the U.S. and EU export pace remains elevated," Ole Houe, director advisory services at Ikon Commodities Pty Ltd. in Sydney, said in an e-mail today. Wheat slid 10 percent in Chicago and 19 percent in Paris this year on an outlook for a record harvest, with world production forecast by the U.S. Department of Agriculture last month to jump 8.2 percent to 708.9 million tons. The USDA was closed during the shutdown, leaving investors without reports on export sales of crops. Queensland Reaping Australian farmers have started harvesting a 24.5 million- ton crop, 11 percent more than last year, the government estimates. Reaping in central Queensland is about 50 percent complete and may start early this year in central New South Wales, GrainCorp Ltd. said Oct. 14. As Australia's "harvest ramps up and the export pace from here picks up, we may well see pressure come back on global prices," said Houe at Ikon. Soybeans for delivery in November rose 0.4 percent to $12.985 a bushel in Chicago, set for a first weekly gain in three. Corn for delivery in December advanced 0.6 percent to $4.455 a bushel, also poised to climb for the week. --Editors: Dan Weeks, Nicholas Larkin.

Boulder River Trail #734
Total Ascent: 700ft
Highest Point: 1560ft
Total Distance: 8.2 miles
Location: N 48° 13.1220, W 121° 46.7100
Required Permit: None
Difficulty: Easy
This week, we were looking for a gentle hike that would not be too taxing on my still-recovering foot. After some research we settled on a fairly popular riverside hike in the Darrington area: the Boulder River Trail.
It's unsurprising that the Boulder River Trail is a popular hike. This trail gently takes you through a dramatic and impressive landscape. Once beyond Feature Show Falls, the forest becomes moss-laden and heavy, losing much of the undergrowth prominent in the early portions of the trail. The river remains a nearly constant companion, always within hearing distance even as it slips from view. Creeks cut across the trail, winding down to the river in contrast to the more dramatic cascades on the opposite bank. Even the wildlife was unexpected: water ouzels, wood ducks and hummingbirds all made an appearance. With only a few hundred feet of elevation gain and worthy destinations early-on, this trail is an excellent way to give children or the reluctant hiker a taste of the wilderness. One caution: when we hiked this trail, there were a couple of significant blowdowns that were a little tricky to navigate. Most hikers shouldn't have much of a problem with these.
There's a lot more to Boulder River, and you can learn all about it in our book, Hiking Through History Washington. You'll find a trail map, route descriptions, history, and more for this and many more hikes throughout the State. Help support hikingwithmybrother.com and the work we do by picking up a copy!
To get there, take I-5 north to Exit 208 and drive east on SR 530 for about 19 miles to milepost 41. Immediately after the milepost, turn right onto FR #2010 – some maps call this French Creek Road, but it's not well signed. Follow the unpaved road almost four miles to its end and the trailhead. -Nathan

I took my Sister and BIL on this hike while they were up from San Diego and we all had a great time.
We arrived at the trailhead about 11am and by 12:30 we were eating lunch at the first waterfalls. The hike down to the river is a wee bit tricky but well worth it for the views up and down the river. My 17yo son was climbing over all the boulders like a mountain goat.
After lunch we proceeded up to the 2nd falls, maneuvering over a large log that is blocking the trail. Our hike ended at the 2nd waterfall.
We thoroughly enjoyed this hike and I am looking forward to getting out again soon.

Once again we enjoyed one of your suggested hikes. We didn't hike the entire trail, although I'd like to sometime. But Feature Show Falls was quite lovely...especially on the beautiful Saturday that we had this weekend. I love this site. Thank you so much.

Have hiked this trail many times...you have some great photos. Not sure if you've notice, but looking at the large falls shot, (as if you're going back down the trail), can you see the face in the mossy rocks? rebecca

This hike was beautiful up to the 3rd waterfall - the biggest. Anticlimactic if you go to the end - the best parts were in the first half. And this is not an 'easy' hike - would label it medium - especially if it's wet and muddy ;)

We absolutely agree with you Jonathan and Cheri, after real highlight of this hike is that last waterfall - it doesn't get much better than that. Continuing on to the river is a nice walk in the woods, but definitely a little anticlimactic after the waterfalls!

POWELL — About 5 percent of the iPads purchased for school students and staffers in Powell have had to be repaired or replaced since they were introduced last year.
Eighty-one iPads worth $40,192 were damaged. Of those, seven belonged to teachers and administrators and 74 were assigned to students.
Park County School District No. 1 paid about $1,890 to replace the seven staff iPads. Parents had to pick up the cost of the damaged student iPads. The replacement price for them was $256 each under the district's insurance plan.
IPads were distributed to high school, middle school and elementary students and staffers in the fall of 2011 at a cost of $722,000.
The most common problem was broken screens. The district has since purchased covers to help protect the tablets.
