|About Evidence-Based Practice
Share |
Welcome to Evidence-Based Practice
Evidence-Based Practice is a monthly journal focused on topics relevant to the daily practice of family medicine. Each issue contains content addressing timely and pertinent questions related to patient care. Questions are phrased in a concise, clinically useful format and answers are provided with thorough research of the best available evidence. Evidence-Based Practice is created by primary care clinicians without industry support and its subscribers are part of a rapidly growing international community of physicians dedicated to continuing medical education and the concept of an evidence-based approach to family medicine by translating research into practice. This is the heart of Evidence-Based Practice.
What makes EBP so unique?
Evidence-Based Practice is dedicated to answering the questions our physicians see every day in their clinics.
EBP Features include:
EBP is indexed in the CINAHL Database
With over three million records dating back to 1960, CINAHL is one of the top three medical indexing databases in the country. The database provides a portal for nurses, allied health professionals, researchers, nurse educators and students to find the literature that impacts practice. To learn more about CINAHL, visit their website.
Our Team
Evidence-Based Practice is composed of a group of physicians and editors working with authors across the country. This endeavor is spearheaded by our Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Jon Neher, MD. Dr. Neher has worked countless hours mentoring new authors and fine-tuning more experienced authors. Many talented physicians have developed their writing skill through Dr. Neher's editorial feedback. Many thanks to all parties involved in the creation and dissemination of this journal!

I love carbs. Ooohhh, do I ever.
I know I preach moderation of all types of foods, which I really truly do believe in, but I have been taking a step back and seeing myself becoming more and more reliant on carbs. I have gotten into a habit of having them at every meal, every snack, because they make me feel good and give me energy. I keep thinking; nothing wrong with whole grains; isn't that what we're taught and what I encourage other people to follow? But the question is, do I really need to eat THAT MANY carbs in a day? What would happen if I kept my overall healthy diet, but greatly reduced the amount of carbs?
You may have heard of a diet called the Paleo diet, especially if you are an athlete, specifically Crossfit. It's not so much a "fad" diet as it as a concept… and one that does make sense for the human body. It's a diet that mimics the way our ancestors used to eat, when they were hunter/gatherers.
The idea is this: Base your diet around meat, poultry, fish, eggs, vegetables, oils, fruits, nuts, seeds, and tubers, and avoid grain products (bread, pasta, rice, and beans/legumes, too) and dairy. There are many reported benefits, including improved athletic performance, having more energy, sleeping better, getting sick less, losing weight, and overall feeling better. I'll leave the scientific side to someone else, but basically you're eating replacing your usual heavy carbs (grains/dairy) with a different, lighter form of carbs (fruits and veggies). Less carbs, the more your body burns fat as a fuel source. And fat is the preferred fuel source for the body!
Whoa, that's intense. I won't go into the hairy details here, because there is A LOT to say about it. Intrigued? If you would like, you can read a really nice article that explains the concept here: http://nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/10/04/the-beginners-guide-to-the-paleo-diet/
Interesting…. Wait. That means I can't eat pasta for dinner anymore? Uh oh, I'm in trouble!
I really still do support the idea of 80/20 – eat great 80% of the time, and enjoy foods that aren't necessarily "healthy" on the weekends, perhaps. Have a cheat day or two, just get back on track the next day. Being realistic, I don't expect myself to go fully Paleo. I like cheese, non-fat yogurt, milk, rice every now and then, and I still don't think a half cup of pasta 2 nights a week for dinner is going to make a world of difference…. But I think we all could stand to have fewer insulin spikes from carbs, and focus a little more on lean meats, other sources of protein, fruits, and veggies.
Even dietitians can improve their diets!
Paleo isn't cutting out all carbs in your life, it's choosing less and more efficient carbs for your body to work with. But you'll still see pasta/rice/potatoes in my recipes, and I don't think that's ever going to change, because this diet isn't for everybody. But perhaps this will be a positive change that will reflect itself in my career, my philosophy, and my way of thinking and teaching others about food… it's worth a try!

Why is it that a small, seemingly insignificant change can make such a huge difference…?
Every year we find ourselves giddy with expectation and excitement awaiting the release of the famous (some may say infamous) red cup. We were all feeling a little bit jaded following our Christmas party this weekend (as I'm sure many of you can sympathise with) so it was off to our favourite coffee shop!
Maybe it was the smell of freshly ground coffee attracting everyone through the door, maybe it was the cold and rain forcing people inside, or maybe it was the attraction of the brand…? We'll let you decide, but you all know which coffee house we are talking about, and we haven't even mentioned their name. Their cup doesn't display their name but it is all so distinctive, now that is great branding! Like it or not, you can't knock it.
p.s. the festive drinks aren't bad either

Blueberry Jalapeno Salsa
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Blueberries are a favorite of mine, eaten by the handful or baked into a cobbler. You don't see blueberries used in a savory way very often, so I decided to try them in salsa. Delicious results! The blueberries and fresh herbs get a kick from the heat of the grilled jalapeno, and lime juice brings the flavors together.
I served this salsa with a wedge of Brie and baguette slices. I think it could also be terrific served with grilled fish (perhaps in a corn tortilla) and a glass of sangria. —BlueKaleRoad
Makes: 2 cups
fresh jalapeno (or more to taste)
cups fresh blueberries, rinsed
cup red onion, chopped
juicy limes
teaspoon salt
cup fresh basil, sliced thinly
cup fresh mint, sliced thinly
cup fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
- Grill the jalapeno on the barbecue or over a gas flame until it is blackened and soft, about 7-8 minutes. When it is cool, slip the charred skin off and cut off the stem. Slice in half and taste the chili. If it is mild, plan to use the seeds, otherwise you can scrape the seeds out. Chop the jalapeno and set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse 2 cups of blueberries, the jalapeno and the red onion together about 5 or 6 times. You want a rough mix.
- Pour the mixture into a serving bowl. Add the remaining 1 cup of blueberries, the juice of 2 limes, salt and fresh herbs. Stir and enjoy!

A while back, we noted a report showing that the "sneak-and-peek" provision of the Patriot Act that was alleged to be used only in national security and terrorism investigations has overwhelmingly been used in narcotics cases. Now the New York Times reports that National Security Agency data will be shared with other intelligence agencies like the FBI without first applying any screens for privacy.
On the one hand, I guess it's better that this new data-sharing policy is acknowledged in the open instead of carried out surreptitiously. On the other hand, there's something even more ominous about the fact that they no longer feel as though they need to hide it.
It's all another sobering reminder that any powers we grant to the federal government for the purpose of national security will inevitably be used just about everywhere else. And extraordinary powers we grant government in wartime rarely go away once the war is over. And, of course, the nifty thing for government agencies about a "war on terrorism" is that it's a war that will never formally end.

Johnny Depp upstaged by a mollusk? A barnacle or an anemone I could understand, but the maritime order has been seriously disturbed in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. To begin with, there's too much of bland about-to-be-weds William and Elizabeth (Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley), which cuts into the screen time of the marauding Black Pearl pirates led by Capt. Jack Sparrow (Depp). As you'll recall from three years ago, Depp's wildly eccentric Keith-Richards- in-a-tricorner-hat act got him an Oscar nomination; it was a rare, risky comic performance in a movie based on a Disney theme-park ride. You felt the machinery pulling you one way, but Depp's genius provided a safe anchor amid the CGI swirlings. Unfortunately, the same filmmakers (director Gore Verbinski, producer Jerry Bruckheimer) learned the wrong lessons from that picture's huge, unexpected success. Capt. Jack is now faced with a scaly school of adversaries bristling with fins and gills and claws. They're like sea orcs. Computers have merged man and fish to render the ghouls crewing the legendary Flying Dutchman, a purgatory for souls hoping to forestall their final judgment. Meaning that no matter how funny Depp is, he's got to contend with enemies who closely resemble the starter menu at your favorite sushi bar.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Opens at Pacific Place and other theaters, Fri., July 7. Rated PG-13. 140 minutes.
Stellan Skarsgård is the first such emissary; wrapped in seaweed and with oysters growing out of one side of his blanched, briny face, he warns Depp of a debt to be paid. It seems the Black Pearl was one of those balloon-mortgage deals with the devil. Capt. Jack leased his ship from Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), but at a cost. His 13 years at the helm have expired, and now there's a soggy bunk waiting for him on the Dutchman, a ship that regularly submarines beneath the waves and is constructed, literally, from the bones and flesh of its old deckhands.
Thus we have Cowards of the Caribbean, since Jack is now understandably reluctant to get his boots wet. Jones is scary enough—his entire face consists of writhing tentacles; he's got a crab's carapace and claw to snip bones in half; and like the rest of his band, he's adorned with various little gaping, sucking reef creatures. Then there's the Kraken, inspired by Norse myth (also once a Tennyson poem), a much bigger and more frightening version of the giant octopus in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which Jones unleashes to pull entire frigates beneath the waves.
ALL OF THIS would make a wonderful theme-park ride, and I have no doubt that between this Pirates picture and next summer's trilogy ender—made simultaneously, Matrix-style, for an untold number of doubloons—the old Disneyland attraction will receive a significant makeover. But rides are rides and stories are stories, and it's fully apparent where the bulk of Pirates' budget was spent. First William has to find Jack and retrieve a magical compass to free Elizabeth from jail, since she's in the custody of a malign representative of the East India Co., the Enron of its day. Then she embarks separately on the same mission, but attention soon turns from compass to key (or a diagram of such, held by Jack), and from key to chest (bear with me now), and from chest to a certain pulsing organ inside that safe deposit box. This is the grail sought by all, the WMD of the 18th century, which the East India Co. surely intends to use in Pirates Part 3 to establish a global monopoly on all sea trade, putting an end to the freebooting era of Jack and his kind.
In other words, Dead Man's Chest is plotted like a scavenger hunt, as its characters madly race from one object or island to the next. It's enjoyable to watch Jack escape cannibals while lashed to a giant bamboo stake that makes him a human shish kabob. It's a hoot to see pirates swinging to escape their cages suspended over a bottomless gorge. It's also fun to watch a three-way sword fight on a giant mill wheel that's broken loose and rolling through the forest. But it's also wildly unclear why any of this is going on—apart from amusement-park thrills, of course.
Various supporting figures return from the first movie, and the biggest laugh here comes when two dumb brigands stop the action and try to sort out, for their benefit and ours, exactly what's going on. The one-eyed skinny pirate (Mackenzie Crook, who played toady Gareth in the BBC version of The Office) and his plumper cohort (Lee Arenberg) are like the two nitwits in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead—no idea why Hamlet is so depressed, but yes, please, I'd like another chicken wing.
If only producer Bruckheimer had spent some of that budget on Rosencrantz writer Tom Stoppard. What's the use of bringing back Jonathan Pryce (as Elizabeth's father) or employing other English stage talent— like Nighy (Love Actually), Tom Hollander (the horrid suitor Mr. Collins opposite Knightley's other Elizabeth in Pride & Prejudice) as the East India Co. rep, and Naomie Harris (28 Days Later) as a Creole voodoo priestess—when they've got no good lines to deliver? The movie's dull signature phrase, repeated often, pertains to Jack's magical compass, which points to "what you want most." Though the needle wavers for most of the picture, considerably undercutting Depp's comic authority, there's no doubt where it's pointing next: all that money buried in Part 3.

The Power of Knowing
I have always believed that body knowledge is power, but OMG am I even more certain now! We just finished the first leg of our "Love Your Body, Change Your World" tour with Girls for a Change, and there are so many incredible conversations and insights that girls around the nation are having about why we feel so much shame surrounding vaginal health!
At the beginning of the 2 ½ hour trainings, the first few times that the word "vagina" is said, most of the hundreds of girls in each room all look at each other from side to side and start to giggle nervously. Some even scream and start to freak out -- true story, y'all! By the end of our time together, however, from not just what I saw and experienced but also from the anonymous evaluations afterward, 100% of the young women in the audience leave with a new perspective on not just their vagina and vaginal health, but also why it's so important to talk about our bodies without shame and fear!
One young woman's transformation really sticks with me as a great example of the power of knowing. To get the girls thinking about their bodies, I and the other trainers, Megan and Patricia, invited audience members to share their feelings at the beginning of the day. "I don't understand why we need to be talking about this stuff with other women," this young woman blasted into the microphone at the beginning of the session. "I mean, it's private and personal!" She looked shocked when, later in the day, I suggested that to an extent she was right, because our bodies are private and personal, and no one has the right to harm, touch, or otherwise disrespect them. We alone hold the right to talk or not talk about our bodies, too! "However," I continued. "While we don't have to talk about our bodies all the time, we need to know what's healthy and what's not, and we need to be comfortable talking to others, from our parents to professionals, so that we can get help when we need it and help others, too."
To prove this point, I asked the audience to raise their hands if they had ever had an earache or a nosebleed. About half of the audience confidently raised their hands both times, and when I asked how many in the audience had had the flu, everyone shot up their hands. The next question I had for the eager-to-participate audience threw them for a loop. "All of you have had the flu, and most of you have had earaches or nosebleeds, but how many of you have had a yeast infection, or a urinary tract infection, or just worried about your vaginal odor at some point?" Not a single hand went up, even though about half of all women have experienced a urinary tract infection (UTI) and 75% of women have had yeast infections, and most of those who experience them have recurring episodes. Why was it that girls were unembarrassed to acknowledge that at one point in time they were a vomiting, pale, sickly mess, or had blood gushing from their noses, but they were ashamed about a UTI? One girl said, "EVERYONE gets the flu and nosebleeds and stuff and we all talk about it so there's no shame about it!" I countered back, challenging the audience to realize that everyone (well everyone who has a vagina) gets yeast infections, worries about vaginal odor, has times when it burns to pee, and is annoyed with cramps, too, so why can't our vaginas be treated as shame-free and publicly discussable as an ear or a nose? After all, it's just a body part! I called attention to the fact that even after just an hour of the word 'vagina' being said as a part of a normal, fun conversation, the giggles and embarrassment stopped! Everything clicked and then we all started having "real talk" when one girl's hand went up and she asked, "so what if, um, it burns to pee and there's also a smell?" After her question was answered, more hands shot up, because now everyone wanted to talk about and know more about their personal body dramas, too. Luckily, Megan, Patricia, and I had all the answers!
By the end of the training, the minds of the young women in the audience are wide open, and they've made the connection about how taking care of ourselves inside and out leads to being able to accomplish social change, academic success, and self-satisfaction. The very girls who looked panicked when asked what they thought it would take to make the world more comfortable with the word vagina were the ones, an hour later, suggesting we organize a campaign to get the President of the United States to say the world on national TV to prove that there isn't anything to be ashamed about!
As we were leaving, the first girl who told us that she didn't think anyone should talk about their vagina in public came up and confided in me that last year she had a urinary tract infection but didn't tell anyone, and so it turned into a kidney infection and she had to be hospitalized. Unfortunately, her hospitalization for something that could have been treated with just a prescription if she had talked about it early enough is not an uncommon experience amongst women because of the shame surrounding vaginal health. Think of all the change that could happen and knowledge that could be spread and health issues avoided if we just started talking more about it as something other than scary, embarrassing, or dirty! "Now I know what to do the next time," she exclaimed, "I won't worry about what people are thinking – I mean, it's just a VAGINA!" And she's totally right.
Knowledge IS power! Wanna start learning and talking?

The FBI and Hartford police Thursday arrested Francis Gionfriddo of south Hartford for ignoring a court order to testify last spring at the Patriarca family Mafia trial about how he was forced to repay a mob loan shark at an illegally high rate of interest.
Gionfriddo was charged with criminal contempt of court and faces up to six months in prison and a $5,000 fine if convicted. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, was freed on bond and ordered to appear in U.S. District Court in Hartford for a trial Oct. 16.

Church Of The

A way to achieve these economies is to have a central computer system
that can provide news service to the other systems on the local area
network. Such a server would manage the collection of news articles
and index files, with each person who desires to read news bulletins
doing so over the LAN. For a large cluster of computer systems, the
savings in total disk space is clearly worthwhile. Also, this allows
workstations with limited disk storage space to participate in the
news without incoming items consuming oppressive amounts of the
workstation's disk storage.
We have heard rumors of somewhat successful attempts to provide
centralized news service using IBIS and other shared or distributed
file systems. While it is possible that such a distributed file
system implementation might work well with a group of similar
computers running nearly identical operating systems, such a scheme
is not general enough to offer service to a wide range of client
systems, especially when many diverse operating systems may be in use
among a group of clients. There are few (if any) shared or networked
file systems that can offer the generality of service that stream
connections using Internet TCP provide, particularly when a wide
range of host hardware and operating systems are considered.
NNTP specifies a protocol for the distribution, inquiry, retrieval,
and posting of news articles using a reliable stream (such as TCP)
server-client model. NNTP is designed so that news articles need only
be stored on one (presumably central) host, and subscribers on other
hosts attached to the LAN may read news articles using stream
connections to the news host.
NNTP is modelled upon the news article specifications in RFC 850,
which describes the USENET news system. However, NNTP makes few
demands upon the structure, content, or storage of news articles, and
thus we believe it easily can be adapted to other non-USENET news
Typically, the NNTP server runs as a background process on one host,
and would accept connections from other hosts on the LAN. This works
well when there are a number of small computer systems (such as
workstations, with only one or at most a few users each), and a large
central server.

THE FALL TELEVISION SEASON is heading into the thick of things, with 14 new series to premiere between tonight and the official Sept. 20 start of the '93-94 season.
Small wonder that pundits analyzing the season have given thumbs up almost exclusively to shows that air in time periods with strong lead-ins: "Dave's World" (between "Evening Shade" and "Murphy Brown"), "Grace Under Fire" (post-"Home Improvement"), "Frasier" (after "Seinfeld") and "The Sinbad Show" (following "The Simpsons").
Indeed, even "Sinbad," which has undergone early production problems, still turns up on advertiser lists as a likely "hit," and "Phenom"– the recipient of at-best mediocre pre-season buzz — has a chance of surviving the year largely due to its slot between "Full House" and "Roseanne."
Thus far, several new shows have done reasonably well getting sampled outside such protected time periods, but the early-premiere strategy demonstrates how the networks wind up yanking their own chains by getting overly excited about premiere ratings.
"The John Larroquette Show," for example, did just fine in a post-"Seinfeld" preview but should find the sledding much more difficult against "Roseanne"– particularly once ABC begins airing original episodes next week.
The same goes for ABC's "Missing Persons," whose two-hour pilot performed reasonably well in the web's Monday movie slot but which will have a tougher time finding an audience in its regular Thursday slot.
Among other new shows, "Angel Falls" got off to an OK start but fell 19% in week two, despite an extra-marital sexual encounter against a urinal in a honky-tonk bar. When you've exhausted a scene like that two weeks into the series, it begs the question of what you do for an encore.
The bottom line is that there seems to be no substitute for being put behind a strong, established series and being left there. Many observers forget that
"Home Improvement" had an entire year behind "Full House" before being asked to stand on its own on Wednesdays.
Already, Fox Broadcasting Co.'s "Living Single" looks like a winner, having established a viewer profile in its post-"Martin" slot before ABC's "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" and NBC's "seaQuest DSV" seek to lay claim to the hour. On the flip side, "The Trouble With Larry," asked to open Wednesdays for CBS, appeared to arrive DOA.
CBS likes to point to the out-of-the-barrel success of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," but it's easy to forget that the show premiered on New Year's Night, when a huge female audience is traditionally available because of college football bowl games.
By contrast, a show like "Larry" or "The Second Half" or "Joe's Life" is being asked to occupy a time period where its network enjoyed at best moderate success last season without the benefit of such an intro. As evidenced by the pre-season period, these shows may "open," but such a timeslot makes it difficult to lure viewers back on a regular basis.
The answer seems to be clear: fewer new series, more carefully nurtured, platformed and previewed. Until then — or the day that each network has four or five "Home Improvements" or "Seinfelds" to use as a launch pad — the fall will continue to offer the webs and particularly their suppliers very little thrill of victory and a whole lot more of the agony of defeat.
MOURNING NEWS: If you ever think to yourself that there aren't enough hours in a day, you obviously haven't been watching morning television lately.
KTLA weighed in Tuesday with its local "The Morning Show" at 9 a.m., followed on KCAL-TV by "Live in L.A."– a show so derivative of a nationally syndicated morning show (and, of course, the old "A.M. Los Angeles") that one half expects Steve Edwards to introduce himself as "Regis."
"Live" has the distinction of being listless to the point where one wonders what the studio audience is doing off-camera to keep themselves entertained.
By contrast, the first edition of KTLA's "Morning Show" seemed reminiscent of a radio station "morning zoo," with four people bumping into each other and talking over each other having a grand old time. The effect recalls the recent Saturday morning series "The Amazing Live Sea-Monkeys" or a short by "Three Stooges," plus one, dragged out to an hour.
The nadir of Tuesday's inaugural broadcast had a reporter doing what looked like an infomercial for the Universal CityWalk, wolfing down a thick sausage submarine live on camera. The only suspense in the segment was whether someone would be needed to perform the Heimlich maneuver.
While the push toward localism is understandable with all the repeats supplied by cable, few things feel more uncomfortable than forced localism, particularly with the glut of news programming available.
For station executives, the Catch 22 is either to offer more of the same, which provides no compelling reason to tune in, or try to break the mold a bit with an experiment like "The Morning Show" or KCOP's "Real News" and risk looking silly — like an oompah band playing a Rolling Stones medley.
And the band plays on …
OPEN SEASON: In the truth is stranger than fiction department, CBS Radio's Sunday NFL broadcast featured the "National Rifle Assn. starting lineups." And we thought sponsorism had gotten out of hand when Die Hard batteries began introducing the starting lineups.
Still, the new arrangement should at least bring suspense to what's usually a boring part of the game: "At quarterback, No. 16, Jim — Omigod, look out, he's got a gun!"

Wireless companies are starting to release their earnings reports for the latest quarter. Here is a summary of reports and related developments for selected wireless companies and what they reveal about their own and the industry's prospects.
— July 10: T-Mobile US Inc., the No. 4 U.S. wireless carrier, says it will let people upgrade phones more quickly for a $10 monthly fee. The new Jump plan lets customers upgrade up to twice a year for any reason. Rivals typically allow upgrades after about two years. Customers will still have to pay a deductible of up to $170 if a phone is lost, doesn't work, has water damage or has a cracked screen. Otherwise, customers must pay the usual price for the new phone, typically $100 up front and $20 a month for two years. Jump waives any remaining payments on the old device, but the customer does not get a refund on what was already paid.
— Sprint Nextel Corp., the third largest U.S. wireless carrier, formally comes under the control of the Japanese investment firm SoftBank, as Softbank Corp. completes a $21.6 billion investment in Sprint. The cash-and-stock deal gives SoftBank a 78 percent stake in Sprint.
— July 11: Sprint introduces a new wireless plan that guarantees new and existing subscribers unlimited voice, text and data plans, in a move to differentiate its service from AT&T and Verizon. Both AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless have ditched unlimited data offerings to new customers. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse says there has been a lot of chatter about when Sprint would do so as well. The guarantee, he says, is a way of telling customers that "we are not going to pull the rug out from under you."
— July 12: AT&T says it will acquire Leap Wireless, the service provider of pre-paid, contract-free plans under the Cricket brand, for about $1.19 billion in cash. The purchase gives the nation's second largest cellphone carrier a leg-up in serving customers who prefer not to have lengthy contracts. It also would give AT&T the right to using Leap's unused airwaves in expanding its existing network.
Coming up:
— July 18: Verizon Communications Inc.
— July 23: AT&T Inc.
— July 30: Sprint Nextel Corp.
— Aug. 8: T-Mobile US Inc.

Kent Nerburn Quotes About PastQuotes about: Past
Like children, the elders are a burden. But unlike children, they offer no hope or promise. They are a weight and an encumbrance and a mirror of our own mortality. It takes a person of great heart to see past this fact and to see the wisdom the elders have to offer, and so serve them out of gratitude for the life they have passed on to us.
Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance, and none can say while some fields will blossom and others lay brown beneath the August sun. Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices in life no more easily made. And give. Give in any way you can, of whatever you possess. To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than how is shared, and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.
Do not grieve. Misfortune will happen to the wisest and best of men. Death will come, always out of season. It is the command of the Great Spirit, and all nations and people must obey. What is past and cannot be prevented should not be grieved for... Misfortunes do not flourish particularly in our lives - they grow everywhere.

At least 40 tech companies expanded their presence in Colorado in the past year, with 400,000 sq. ft. of positive net absorption. The Downtown Denver submarket was the epicenter of technology growth with over 200,000 sq. ft. of positive net absorption. Southeast Denver, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins also had about 50,000 sq. ft. of positive net absorption by tech companies.
Colorado remained attractive to technology companies with strong population growth, a relatively low cost of living – especially in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins, sustained economic growth and an unmatched entrepreneurial spirit. At least fourteen companies, including three from abroad, opened offices or moved their HQ to Colorado.
In 2016 technology remained the largest industry represented in Denver office leasing activity with more deals and more sq. ft. leased than previous years. As a share of total office leasing activity, technology's share dipped slightly from 16.1% to 14.2% as financial and business services companies also made large moves in the market.
New and start-up companies often lease co-working space, which is readily available in metro Denver with a 1.3 million-sq.-ft. footprint. Companies that are rapidly expanding look for well-located offices with attractive amenities and cost-effectiveness. Both suburban and downtown markets have gained attention from incoming or growing tech companies.
Venture Capital (VC) funding for Colorado tech companies took a hit last year, dropping from $789 million in 2015 to $339 million in 2016. This followed the national trend of a VC funding slowdown, which acted as a market correction. In 2017, VC funding for Colorado companies is back up and by Q2, year-to-date funding rivaled total 2016 funding.

Susan Stanton, the former Largo city manager who drew national media attention after being fired for announcing plans for a gender change, was selected as Lake Worth's city manager by a 4-1 vote.
Stanton was selected April 7.
Commissioner Suzanne Mulvehill said she liked Stanton's approach to marketing the city and her ability to work for such a long time in Largo.
"The fact that she stayed 17 years with one city through several different commissions said something to me," Mulvehill said.
"I thought she had the right temperament for our city and, truthfully, I learned a lot from her," Vice Mayor Jo-Ann Golden said.
Commissioner Cara Jennings said she favored Stanton because of her team-building approach to managing city staff.
"She's highly motivated," Jennings said. "Also, we need someone who wants to be here for a long time."
During an interview at city hall April 6, Stanton said she would work to educate city staff, spend a lot of time communicating with commissioners and would focus on the "three Ps -- pride, passion and professionalism."
When asked who she would be working for if hired as city manager, Stanton said she would work for four groups: the city commission, city department heads, residents and city employees.
When commissioners opened envelopes listing their top choices for city manager, Stanton was the first choice of three commissioners. Thomas Hoover, former city manager of Royal Oak, Mich., was the top choice of Commissioner Retha Lowe and Mayor Jeff Clemens.
Clemens changed his vote to Stanton, noting that he was impressed with all four finalists. Lowe cast the dissenting vote because she wanted Hoover.
"I noticed a sincerity and passion that came from Ms. Stanton," resident Mark Parilla said.
Resident Annabeth Karson said she asked the same question to all four city manager finalists and noted that Stanton's answers were the clearest.

NAVCO's Industry Firsts
NAVCO has a documented history of successful product innovation and development, driven directly by customer needs. With our own in-house engineering department, NAVCO customizes systems that integrate leading-edge hardware and software to accomplish virtually any customer goals imaginable.
NAVCO's Five Decades of Milestones
1970s: Reel-to-reel tape machines moved to cassette recorders, recording from 24 hours to 180 hours. Picture quality was a paramount design feature in NAVCO's products because the mission was to replace costly film cameras that were unreliable and seldom an effective tool against fraud and operational issues. NAVCO deployed the first time encoders on videotapes, as well as synchronized sequential switching hardware and decoders to help investigators view videotape more efficiently.
In 1971, North American Video Corporation (dba NAVCO) spearheaded the adoption of closed circuit television as a powerful security tool utilized in the financial services industry. Our subsequent success with the country's largest financial institutions provided us the national base to move into other market segments.
1980s: Beta and SVHS technologies were harnessed in order to provide color pictures for forensic research for robbery, fraud and employee defalcation. Advanced interfaces to teller platforms and cash register systems were developed to allow professionals to quickly find and associate specific transactions to specific high-resolution video pictures. Access control and alarm systems were synchronized with video archiving systems to all users to see a unified and integrated collection of systems to work together as one.
NAVCO developed specialized cameras (the Eclipser) for extreme lighting conditions found in the new Automated Teller Machine (ATM) deployments nationally. By the early 1980s, NAVCO became a market leader in providing surveillance systems to convenience stores, retail and grocery.
1990s: Innovations in phone modem technology allowed for the introduction of the first remote monitored video systems, allowing customers to comply with new ATM security laws that required service levels to be managed and logged for governmental review. NAVNET was a huge success, allowing customers to save thousands of dollars on manual processes by connecting every site via modem, tracking tape changes and service issues on an hourly basis.
2000s: NAVCO develops and builds the first Digital Recorder specifically designed for the retail banking industry. Our design maximized some of the limitations found in the current computer and hard drive technologies of the day, providing the ability to store transactions for 180 days with only a 10-megabyte hard drive. This was achieved through an elaborate technique of interfacing with the teller platform, ATM machines and a picture prioritization scheme that was revolutionary.
While digital recording is now the standard, it was NAVCO that made the first viable digital video recorder to attack fraud in banking. During this same decade NAVCO expanded into the retail, casual dining and quick-serve restaurant markets by focusing on Point-Of-Sale integration and workman's compensation issues. ROI on all client systems focuses on major reductions in losses caused by customers, vendors and employees. It's not just what is installed, but how it is designed, programmed and used as a management tool.
2010s: With the explosion of new camera technologies that allow for picture quality to be beyond High Definition (megapixel), the expertise required to design, deploy and service these new technologies has become exponential. High megapixel recording solutions now begin to take a front seat to the analog systems of yesterday. The ability to view details such as currency denomination and employee sleight-of-hand maneuvers propel High Definition recording into today's best loss prevention tool.
Network connectivity also allows for instant remote retrieval of images and status of all system health and performance. NAVCO announces new service level agreements for its service and installation customers to always deliver a 95% first-time fix rate on the products it supports. To accomplish this, extensive field and remote support training is required and parts deployment becomes a science.
Customers realize huge savings in managing existing technology deployments by outsourcing the risk and cost of partnering with NAVCO, while also realizing that other video vendors' service model is low hourly cost but high number of hours to final closure. Because NAVCO has the "smarts and parts," we are able to charge a little more on the hourly rate but reduce return trips and total number of hours to clear a service call, saving our clients money and aggravation.
Today: NAVCO is perfectly positioned in the marketplace to provide you with the best possible experience in obtaining and servicing your security equipment. Our nationwide network of trained service technicians ensures consistent system performance and economy no matter where the system is located.
Because our field technicians specialize in electronic security systems, their expertise and efficiency greatly exceed our competitors in any market. Because of this focus, we are the only national security provider that can claim a first-time repair rate of 95%—an industry leader.
Industry Experts, Ready to Respond
At NAVCO, we specialize in business security systems, and our expertise far exceeds any other provider in our industry. And unlike other vendors who simply provide the product, we extend this expertise to our customers. When you partner with NAVCO, you're not only getting customized business security solutions that combine and integrate best-in-breed technologies. You're also getting a trusted advisor who provides value-added guidance, recommendations and ongoing support to ensure your security systems continue to deliver as promised—today, tomorrow and in the years to come.

As Kansas City leaders prepare their proposal to host the 2016 GOP presidential nominating convention, it may be helpful to start thinking about what this bit of civic service will cost. I'm not just talking about the $50 million or so that locals will likely need to raise to help throw this party's party.
Just as important will be what Kansas Citians will be asked to give up in the four days or more that the Republicans take over the town.
Let's presume that the Sprint Center would be the event site — surely no one will argue to return to Kemper Arena, where the GOPers convened in 1976 — and with that let's presume road traffic will be redirected for blocks all around. Kansas Citians of means and good planning who live, work and/or play downtown may well head to the lakes or the mountains in droves. Downtown dwellers who remain and hope to hang at their favorite watering holes may well find themselves spending more time in Westport than ever — if only the new Main Street rail line would carry them that far.
Whatever occurs, let's hope our local officials avoid what happened in Tampa in 2012 (not that they'll have any power to prevent the kind of storm that canceled the first day of that convention). As George Packer recounts it in "The Unwinding," his riveting, National Book Award winner about political dysfunction and economic decline: "The welcoming committee got the city ready by ... rerouting traffic away from the convention hall, and cutting up the downtown grid with black chain-link fencing, concrete barriers, and Hillsborough County dump trucks. ... In spite of the diminished car traffic, the city looked less like Jane Jacobs's heaven than ever, the sidewalks even more deserted than usual, the only eyes on the street those of security officers clustered at every intersection. ... Tampa was never safer, or more dead."
Concrete barriers, dump tracks and fences might keep locals away from the gathered politicos and turn what feels like a city again into an isolation zone. Then again, this level of political theater generally requires the absence of regular folk and the kind of mixing chamber that Jane Jacobs envisioned for healthy and successful urban living. Kansas City leaders and locals could reasonably calculate that the tradeoff will be well worth it.

But He Didn't Do Any Work - Why Should He Get The Commission?
My husband and I had to go shopping for a new television last weekend. The old one was about to die - its channel guide was getting fuzzy and my eyesight is already "bat-like". We researched our options online, found one we wanted, then set out for a reconnaissance mission to Sears, Best Buy and yes, Sam's, at my Hubby's insistence.
Right away, at our first store, Sears, there was our new flatscreen- and it was a lot less expensive than the internet price! I got really excited. The on-duty salesman, Lee, came over and quietly introduced himself to ask if we needed any help. My husband asked if it the t.v. had built-in speakers, and Lee said "Yes". Hubby didn't give signals to talk further (being an engineer), so Lee said to call him if we needed more help.
My husband and I walked up and down the aisles but I already KNEW it was the t.v. we wanted (OK-- " I" wanted). Hubby and I whispered ...."I really want it, let's get it now!" I said. My husband agreed.
I called Lee over and we said "We'll take it". He said he would have to check their inventory (sigh). Sadly, there were none in stock, but if we ordered it then, we could have it in three days. Hubby and I looked at each other. I said "Let's order it", but my husband wanted to finish our mission and go to the other stores.
Before we left, I asked the salesman, Lee, "Are you commission sales?"
" Yes" , he responded.
"Then I want you to get credit for the sale if we call or come back to order the t.v. I am a salesperson, too, so I respect that."
Lee then filled out a customer-finder form so we could let any of the other Sears salespeople know we were "his" customers.
Hubby and I completed our research at the other stores. Sears was the best price by far. I sent Hubby to get the t.v. the next day. "Make sure you give the on-duty salesperson Lee's card so he gets credit!" I instructed.
"Why?" he asked innocently, being an engineer, "He didn't do any work. He answered one question."
"Honey", I said, " If someone called me up because they found a house, then grabbed me to write an offer, would I not deserve a commission? Some deals are easy, some are hard. That's just the way it is. Lee might have killed himself with the previous three customers. They might not have bought, or maybe they did not give his card so he didn't got credit when they did buy. Yes, we were 'easy', but not all sales have to be 'difficult' to make the salesman deserving."
Hubby went back to the store, and there was a different salesperson there, not Lee. He did a lot of work to take the order from my husband. I asked Hubby what he said when he gave him Lee's card... He said....
"He would have done the same for me."
It's Wendy!

Breakfast set partly completed. I'm thinking of having these laminated.
Has anyone got any of their crochet laminated? What are your experiences? Do tell me.
Swahaste tvahastam (from my hands to yours)
If you're thinking of that plastic sheet stuff, I don't think it would work well… the air trapped inside would look funny. Plus, if it's acrylic, the heat of lamination may melt it.
I know, I've thought of these things, but the darn thread (it is cotton thread, by the way) seems to run colour, which makes me feel all kinds of stupid for not testing before making something with it…
you can temporily put it in transparent thick plactic sheetes and burn the edges to laminate like i have done this try it. i am a regular reader of your blog for 2 months and enjoy seeing an indian crocheter lo
