Tell The Mirage to Shut Its Dolphin Death Pool
FROM Born Free USA
Tell The Mirage to shut its dolphin death pool. Despite The Mirage's dismal record, the permit to import more dolphins was granted. Shockingly, the NMFS is not required to consider the welfare of the individual captive dolphins in its decision-making process.

The Mirage
Whether caught wild or born captive, orcas and dolphins in captivity are sentenced to a life of confinement deprived of normal social and environmental interaction — but a 75 percent death rate, even among skeptics, should raise a huge red flag. At The Mirage hotel's Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat, it's business as usual: Three-quarters of the dolphins die prematurely!
In 2009, Born Free USA attempted to stop The Mirage from filling its tanks with more dolphins by appealing to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to deny the import permit for two more dolphins from Dolphin Cove, an infamous captive facility in Bermuda.
Adding to the urgency of our plea, a dolphin named Sergeant Pepper died at The Mirage just two weeks after Born Free USA submitted comments opposing this permit. Despite The Mirage's dismal record, the permit to import more dolphins was granted. Shockingly, the NMFS is not required to consider the welfare of the individual captive dolphins in its decision-making process.
Further, The Mirage is not required to prove that its display is educational nor that it contributes to conservation of the species in the wild. Public viewing of captive dolphins in concrete enclosures performing human-taught "tricks" that they would not otherwise perform in the wild projects a false picture of the animals' natural lives. Forcing wild animals to live in environments that are incapable of accommodating their natural behavior is not conservation, educational or humane. The most important conservation message that people need to learn is how to value these animals without turning them into commodities for our entertainment.
Born Free USA has a long history of advocating against the use of marine mammals in captive displays and swim-with-dolphin programs. These highly intelligent and sensitive animals do not need to be kept hostage in the middle of the desert for the sole purpose of turning a profit for The Mirage hotel.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!

Degas and a Ring
When Cameron told me he was whisking his girl to NYC to propose in front of the Degas ballerina at the Met, he meant it. We spoke for days about how it would go down. Cameron thought would be quick and dirty, or would it? They arrived at Elizabeth's favorite sculpture. I had perched myself like a tourist on a bench. I was in the perfect position to lay in wait.
After she said yes, he slipped the fiery orb on her finger. We all strolled the Met together, snapping away at points of interest, enjoying the afternoon and taking it all in. Cameron even shared he bought the ring on his birthday, which tells you what kind of guy he is; sweet, kind, thinking of others. A planner. Finally, we dipped into a corner café (1000 Madison Ave) for their first engaged espresso together.
"He was acting really weird but I had no idea why." Liz smiled. "I never saw it coming."

Family and Pets
I grew up in Faribault and my family still lives in town. My mom, Mary, is a retired school teacher and my dad, Sean, is a HR consultant. My brother, Pat, lives in town and is in motorcycle sales. Recently engaged to Mario Mjelleli while in a hot air balloon ride in Australia. I have a Persian cat named Pinkles.
Favorite Place on Campus
Kramer House (my office) as it is has a great welcoming atmosphere. Cookie Monday's aren't bad either!
Favorite thing to do in Faribault
I love to go to the local farmer's market, have dinner at the Depot with my family, and walks on campus.
Inspired By
My trips to Europe! I travel to different European countries each year. So far, Rome has been my favorite. So many inspirations: the architecture, artwork, and not to forget, THE FOOD!
I love to scrapbook. I have a huge scrapbooking studio in my apartment and enjoy making a book for every country I have visited.

Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect at work. Bullying and harassment of any kind should not be tolerated in the workplace. It undermines physical and mental health, frequently resulting in poor work performance. For some people, it is so bad they decide to leave their job. Other possible consequences include:
Bullying and harassment is unacceptable and constitutes a violation of human and legal rights that can lead to criminal prosecution and civil law claims. Employers have a duty of care to provide a safe and healthy working environment for their staff, and this is an implied term of every contract of employment.
Staff also have a responsibility to ensure their behaviour does not distress colleagues. We are committed to raising awareness about this area and to encouraging employers to develop anti-harassment policies that are reviewed regularly.Back to contents
It is important to realise that bullying and harassment are words that are frequently used without a shared understanding of what they mean. They are also often used interchangeably. However, there are subtle differences in the definitions to reflect how these negative behaviours may manifest themselves.
Bullying can take many forms and is defined largely by its impact rather than its intent. It is generally unwanted behaviour that offends, persecutes or excludes someone. It includes treating individuals in a demeaning and unacceptable way and can be intimidating, malicious or insulting, or a misuse of power to undermine, humiliate, threaten or cause injury.
Harassment is unwanted conduct affecting the dignity of a person. It may be related to age, gender, race, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, being married or in a civil partnership, being pregnant or having a child, nationality, political opinion, gender identity, or any personal characteristic, and may be persistent or an isolated incident. The key is that the actions or comments are viewed as demeaning and unacceptable by the recipient.Back to contents
Bullying can lead to poor work performance, and to feelings of fear, anger, powerlessness and hurt.
Some examples are:
This list is not exhaustive: remember, bullying is any behaviour that is unacceptable to you or makes you distressed. Contact us if you need advice on 0345 772 6100.Back to contents
Harassment is unwanted conduct affecting the dignity of a person. Some examples are:
This list is not exhaustive. If you feel that you are being harassed in any way then contact us for confidential advice on 0345 772 6100.
Employers have responsibilities for the health and safety of their staff. They are also responsible for any visitors to their premises such as patients/clients, suppliers and the general public. Your employer should take reasonable steps to protect you as they have a number of different legal duties under, for example, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Equality Act 2010 and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. They should ensure that staff and patients/clients are fully aware of the standard of conduct expected of them and of the sanctions that may follow if they do not adhere to those standards.
Employees may also make civil claims under the Public Order and the Prevention from Harassment Acts.
Please note, constructive dismissal cases are often difficult to prove. If you are considering taking out a grievance or resigning, please contact us for advice as soon as possible.
Employers are responsible for preventing bullying and harassment. If there is a risk to staff member's health, the employer has a duty to take whatever precautions are practicable.

If you have experienced bullying or harassment, it can be difficult to decide what to do. There are several different approaches and you should consider which option you feel most comfortable. Consider the different feelings you are experiencing. Some people feel self-doubt and anxiety, others lose confidence and self-esteem. Confusion about your self-worth may make it difficult to:
Talk to others and keep a diary. It is often helpful to talk informally to friends, family, trusted colleagues or a workplace counsellor. This is one way to grasp what is happening to you, and clarify that you have a genuine problem. If there is a problem then it is very important to keep a written record of incidents. This will clarify exactly what is happening and provides vital evidence if you decide to make a complaint. Print out a copy of the bullying diary and keep a record of all incidents. You may also need to complete an incident form if the situation relates to a patient or patient's relative.
Write down the details as soon as possible after the event while they are still fresh in your mind, keeping the notes short and simple. Ensure your record includes dates, times, places, a clear description of what took place, names of any witnesses and whether or not you took any action. It can also be therapeutic to write down how you responded and how you felt at the time.
Check your local policies. It is always important to familiarise yourself with your employer's policy on bullying and harassment (it may be called 'Dignity at work'). Please also see the Best practice for employers section above.
If appropriate you may wish to speak to the person involved. It can be effective to tell the person to stop and explain that they are causing you distress. Their behaviour may be unintentional and they may stop if they are made aware of the effect it is having. Take a calm but firm approach and make a note of everything that is said, either at the time or immediately after. If you feel strong enough you may wish to do this on your own, or you can ask for help and support from a friend or your RCN representative. If you require support, please contact us on 0345 772 6100.
Involve your employer. Following your employer's policy, you can ask your line manager or another manager to talk to the person you are complaining about informally. This is often referred to as conciliation. It is always best to ask the following questions:
If your manager is unsympathetic, keep a record of your meeting and call us for further advice on 0345 772 6100.
If the bullying and harassment continues, or if it a serious incident occurs, you can consider making a formal written complaint. If you have been harassed you may also want to consider involving the police. Always follow your employer's bullying and harassment policy. Act promptly, as there are time limits to bring different types of legal claim. It is important that you contact us or your local RCN representative before registering your complaint or putting a formal grievance in writing.
Depending on the seriousness of the issue, you may wish to contact the police immediately. Whatever the situation, contact us if you need support on 0345 772 6100.
Employers have a duty of care for their employees. If you experience bullying by a patient/client or their relative you should always report the incident to your manager, complete an incident form and keep a copy. Follow the steps above to ensure that you are getting all of the support you need.
The 'Best practice for employers' section of this page outlines your employers responsibilities. If you work in the NHS, NHS Protect is part of the NHS Business Service Authority and has responsibility for the management of security in the NHS in England. It has produced a number of publications that may also assist you, such as 'Non-physical assault', which is a national framework for reporting and dealing with these types of issues, and 'Tackling violence and antisocial behaviour in the NHS'.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) recognises that there are circumstances in which a nurse may justifiably feel the need to consider withdrawing care from a particular patient or client. These circumstances may include the threat, or perceived threat, of physical violence on the part of the patient or client. For more information please see Violence in the workplace, Refusal to treat and Duty of care.
Remember to call us on 0345 772 6100 or speak to your local RCN representative if you believe your manager hasn't handled the situation appropriately.Back to contents
If you are a student on placement and you experience bullying, see your local policies and report this to your link lecturer or placement co-ordinator as soon as possible. You might also like to get support from your students' union (the National Union of Students (NUS)).
Students are sometimes afraid that if they make a fuss, it will prejudice the character reference they need to progress on their course. This should not be a problem if your case is dealt with properly through correct university or workplace bullying and harassment policies. The fact remains that until you do something about it, it is unlikely that the behaviour will stop. It is much better for your wellbeing to take action and to help others in the future by showing that bullying won't be tolerated. Don't feel you have to wait until you are at breaking point to take action. You can also contact us for further advice on 0345 772 6100.
Before making a formal complaint, please call us for further support. Your complaint must be clear and objective and include full details of the harassment/bullying including:
Any complaint should be investigated thoroughly but swiftly. If invited to attend an interview/investigation meeting, it is important that you do so as it may influence the outcome of your case. If the date and time is not appropriate please ask if an alternative date is possible and see if you can take a representative from either the RCN or students' union with you. Depending on your circumstances it may be appropriate to reassign you to another area or placement until the situation is resolved. It is a normal part of the investigation process to ask the parties involved not to discuss the case with other colleagues as this could influence the outcome of the investigation. You can talk to your RCN representative, counsellor or occupational health adviser.
If you are asked to submit a written statement as part of your employer's investigation, please see our guidance on statements.
After completing the investigation, the investigator may decide:
If you are unhappy with the outcome, talk to your RCN representative about what you can do next.Back to contents
If you witness any such incident:
If you feel your manager is bullying other team members, again, refer to your employer's bullying and harassment policy and inform a senior manager if the problem persists.
If you are asked to submit a written statement as part of your employer's investigation, please see our guidance on statements.Back to contents
Bullying and harassment can often lead to sickness absence.
If you are on sick leave from NHS employment due to work-related stress caused by bullying and harassment, and your salary has reduced to half pay or less, you may be entitled to claim NHS injury allowance. You will need to prove your current condition is wholly or mainly attributable to a work-related issue and medical support will be essential. If you are employed in the NHS you should also ensure that your sick pay includes your unsocial hours payments as this absence is work-related.
If you work outside the NHS you should be paid in accordance with your contract. Contact us if you are in dispute with your employer about your sick pay.Back to contents
A mediator or an independent third party can sometimes help to resolve the issues. Mediation is a voluntary process that all parties must agree to. For more information about mediation please go to the ACAS website.
Counselling can also help as seeking professional support is a positive step. Contact us if you would like to arrange an appointment with an RCN counsellor on 0345 772 6100.. You might also find it useful to contact your occupational health service or employee assistance programme if you have one.
If you have been accused of bullying or harassment, consider the possibility that you may be at fault or that your behaviour has been perceived as bullying.
When considering your actions, try not to be defensive. A simple discussion can often resolve the issue.
As part of any investigation process it may be necessary to separate the people involved. The aggrieved person should be supported and only moved if they wish to move. When deciding who should move, the seniority or specialism of those involved should not be part of the criteria.
If you are asked to submit a written statement as part of your employer's investigation, please see our guidance on statements.Back to contents
It's really important to keep a written record of incidents. This will clarify exactly what is happening and provides vital evidence should you decide to make a complaint.
Write down the details as soon as possible after the event while they are still fresh in your mind keeping the notes short and simple.
It can also be therapeutic to write down how you responded and how you felt at the time.
You could use our Bullying and harassment diary or devise one of your own.

We decided to open up our 40 acres to more folks--mostly people in transition--and invited refugees to stay with us. We started slowly. We always ask visitors to leave something behind--a sculpture, a new structure, a brushpile cleared. We've built up an amazing garden, and our solar has improved to the point that we really are fully self-sufficient. My work in town connects me with people who may be right for our place, and we now have a series of dwellings that are available for varying amounts of time.

Summer is the season when we—and many of the things we own—are on the move. From trailers to watercrafts to bikes, there's no lack of stuff to hitch and haul during the warm-weather months.
That extra weight and bulk, however, comes with potential danger. In 2010 alone, nearly 56,000 passenger vehicle crashes involved a trailing unit. While three-fourths of these crashes only caused property damage, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the remaining quarter resulted in injuries and 340 fatalities.
Keep the roads safe when hauling gear to your next great adventure by observing a few pieces of advice:
- Choose wisely. With cheaper models being more likely to contain weak tubing that's susceptible to breakage and poor locking devices, it's important to choose quality workmanship over an attractive price. Experts recommend hitches that are easy to install (they shouldn't require any extra tools for assembly) and have a locking clip.
Also, if you're looking to strap things down, opt for quality tie-down straps with good hooks and ratchets over weaker bungee cords.
- Find your perfect weight. Consult your vehicle's manual to determine the maximum weight your auto can handle and make a realistic estimate of how much weight you'll really be hauling. (If you want to be extra certain, consider paying a visit to a public scale.)
- Consider enlisting professional help. Not mechanically inclined? Then ask the store from which you bought the hitch for help—oftentimes, their technicians will offer no-cost installation services.
No luck there? Then call up a trusted mechanic or an all-purpose handyman.
- Do some quality control. Ensure the hitch is properly attached by trying to pull it apart yourself. Also check to see if the weight is evenly distributed and that the air pressure on all tires is up to par. Finally, if you're hauling a trailer, make sure its brake lights are in good working condition.
- Drive (extra) safe. First things first: Slow down! Extra weight requires you to drive at nearly half your regular speed and to use extra caution when stopping, changing lanes, turning corners or backing up. You'll also want to acclimate yourself to accelerating slower, taking wider turns, giving yourself longer brake times and allotting extra space when parking.
- Take a test run. Not used to driving like this? Then consider taking a few practice turns in a vacant parking lot before you hit the road.
For more tips and tricks, check out Towing a Trailer: Being Equipped for Safety from the NHTSA.
ERIE goes the extra mile
Your car isn't the only thing making the effort this season. Your ERIE auto coverage is as well with 30 additional features available to you at no extra charge or premium when you purchase comprehensive Coverage.
Though we hope you never need to use any of them, you can take comfort in knowing these services are there if you find yourself in these situations:
- Stuck. ERIE will pay up to $75 per named insured (including meals and lodging) if you're unable to reach your destination because of a covered loss under your policy.*
- Out of a car. If you have an accident or covered loss, ERIE will take care of your transportation costs to rent a car, hop a bus or grab a taxi immediately after an incident.**
- At a loss. You'll be reimbursed up to $350 for any personal belongings lost as a result of a covered loss.
- Locked out. ERIE will pay $50 for a locksmith to stop by.*
And then there's the diminishing deductible, meaning that ERIE will completely waive your deductible:
- If your windshield is repaired (rather than replaced).***
- If you get in an accident with another ERIE driver* or if a non-ERIE driver is solely liable and has adequate liability coverage.
- If there are reasonable first aid expenses to people and animals at the time of an accident.

U.S.-flag operators told to strengthen antipiracy plans
As the sole survivor of the Maersk Alabama pirate gang arrived in New York, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that U.S.-flag vessel operators will soon be be required to review and, if necessary, update their vessel security plans to ensure compliance with maritime security directives.
The Coast Guard reviews and approves the security plans, which are required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. It said the plans must ensure that security measures will counter, to the maximum extent possible, piracy incidents. The Coast Guard said the review is urgently needed because of recent events in the Horn of Africa region, such as the Maersk Alabama incident.
The captured pirate has been identified as Abduhl Wali-i-Musi and will be the first purported pirate to be tried in the United States in more than a century.
U.S. officials have reportedly determined that he is at least 18-years old, meaning prosecutors will not have to take extra steps to put him on trial.
Ecoterra International, an environmental protection group that has a presence in Somalia, refers to the prisoner as Abdiweli Abdulkadir Muse and reports that his mother dar Hassan says he is 16 year old and that pirates influenced him.
"I have been looking for him for 15 days and I have travelled to many towns in northern Somalia to look for him, but I heard his news from the media," Adar said. "My son was not a pirate I sent him to school in Galk'ayo in central Somalia when I last heard from him,
"I request the U.S.-American president Obama to free my son or to fly me to New York to hear his case," she said.

I am familiar with this talented artist, Lenore Senior, and appreciate her work. The towels were much better quality than I expected. So soft and such a beautiful replication of Lenore's artwork. They look great with the wall art I already have in place. I appreciate all the different product forms that FineArtAmerica offers. I have ordered Lenore's work on greeting cards, too, and they were beautiful and of a very good quality. Thank you!

Tomorrow, the city council votes on an ordinance requiring anyone organizing a concert of any scale, at any (already) licensed venue, to be a licensed promoter. This is very dangerous to Chicago's rich music scene, and to the arts in Chicago in general.
- The definition of "event promoter" is so loosely defined it could apply to a band that books its own shows or a teenage kid trying to get his favorite band into town.
The "event promoter" must be licensed and will pay $500 – $2000 depending on expected audience size.
- To get the license, applicant must be over 21, get fingerprinted, submit to a background check, and jump over several other hurdles.
- This proposed ordinance seems targeted towards smaller venues, since those with 500+ permanent seats are exempt.
These issues have been tirelessly highlighted by Jim DeRogatis at the Sun Times. There are two interviews that are very much worth reading: Alderman Shulter and the Department of Business Affairs. Please, if you're in Chicago, sign the "Stop the promoter's ordinance petition" and contact your alderman. via CYSTSFTS

More animal-friendly fighters
Category : Uncategorized
This is just a quick note on some animal-friendliness at Saturday night's UFC event. First, Matt Wiman, who lost a close & controversial decision to Dennis Siver, had the Meet Your Meat and Food Inc websites on his shorts. Second, I learned from the broadcast that middleweight Aaron Simpson has now gone vegan. (He went vegetarian several fights ago, after reading Eating Animals.) Simpson won every round of his fight with Brad Tavares on Saturday.
It's not news that there are vegans and vegetarians at the top levels of mixed martial arts & other sports–and I don't know much about Wiman's diet–but this stands out to me as clashing with even more false stereotypes than usual. Aside from the stereotype of vegans and vegetarians as anemic, limp-wristed weaklings (which should be quite thoroughly shattered by now), it's interesting to see Wiman and Simpson taking an ethical stand on animal agriculture. It's one thing to fight the misconception that you need to eat meat to be strong, but it's even better to fight the misconception that it's somehow unmanly to care about how animals are treated, or that only the overly sentimental are concerned with cruelty.
Here we have two people who make a career out of punching other people in the face, yet who find our treatment of farmed animals unconscionable. And they're not alone, either. Mac Danzig is probably the fighter most famous for being vegan, and he's another ethical vegan–it was his experience on a sanctuary that persuaded him to go vegan.
(From another angle, this also contrasts with the stereotype of professional fighters as boneheaded thugs. In fact, as professional athletes go, fighters tend to be highly educated & often quite thoughtful people.)

This could reduce your bandwidth too, as people will not need to download a game that they don't like the look of. Anyone agree?

Do the "right" people do the "right" things "right" in your organization? If not (which is most probably) – then you might suffer from the miscalibration principle. The latter states that the discrepancies between what work is expected by a given individual and what is actually delivered / desired by / competent for increase with time. These discrepancies are defined as operational / motivational / competential miscalibrations respectively (with a joint name of occupation miscalibration) and further quantified through the so called occupation dominoes and occupation accordions. Hopefully by being aware of the miscalibration principle and by having the needed toolset (to capture and measure it) you might be able to outrun time and keep your organization calibrated.
The Occupation Vectors
The Occupation Vectors are universal way to describe in a simple and practical way any position or role within a company (at least in the context of Software engineering). Their main purpose is to allow: (1) the determination and examination of the consequences of combining or splitting corporate positions and roles, transferring, promoting and demoting employees, etc. (e.g. due to organizational restructuring, implementation of employee reward and recognition programs, etc.); and (2) the mapping (or calculating the similarity) of different positions and roles (e.g. due to transitioning to new software development methods as Scrum/XP/DSDM/etc., mergers and acquisitions, etc.). Moreover the occupation vectors might be used as an instrument to roughly assess the efficiency of performing various positions and roles in a given company, branch, department, workgroup, etc. (through the so called Occupation Efficiency Metric).
The Teamwork Oscars
The Teamwork Oscars is an exercise created for practicing Benne and Sheats's group roles (although it might be adapted for any other similar classification). It does so by asking teams to resolve text puzzles (derived from popular teamwork fables) while at the same time team members are acting various group roles. Based on their performance the teams (as well as the individuals) might be awarded Oscars. The exercise could be also used to discuss the importance of group roles on team dynamics and teamwork.
The Workplace Equations
The Workplace Equations is an exercise that drives a meaningful discussion on what satisfaction and motivation is in the workplace. It does this through the metaphors of Heaven and Hell, organizational storytelling and various elements of gamification. Furthermore the exercise could be used by teams to derive their own Workplace Equations (based on their specific understandings / perceptions of satisfaction and motivation) and then use these equations to continuously monitor and assess how close their workplace is to Heaven and Hell through the Workplace Signboard.
The Battle of the Retrospectives
The Battle of the Retrospectives is an exercise for practicing various ways for conducting retrospectives. Although it is a good starting point to the diverse world of retrospectives, it could be used also as an instrument to roughly assess and eventually select the retrospective format which best suits participants' needs and individual preferences.

Until iOS 8 we could use the trusty old MPMoviePLayerViewController class to play videos on our devices, but that's been deprecated in iOS 9. From now on, Apple recommend we use the AVPlayerViewController class instead. It has many advantages and even supports picture-in-picture out of the box.
Although AVPlayerViewController is a subclass of UIViewController, instances of it cannot be presented using presentViewController – but Apple make sure not to mention this little tidbit. It's much more "fun" to figure this out on our own.
Here's how we can use it with a local video from the main bundle:
@import AVFoundation; @import AVKit; // ... // grab a local URL to our video NSURL *videoURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle]URLForResource:@"video" withExtension:@"mp4"]; // create an AVPlayer AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:videoURL]; // create a player view controller AVPlayerViewController *controller = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc]init]; controller.player = player; [player play]; // show the view controller [self addChildViewController:controller]; [self.view addSubview:controller.view]; controller.view.frame = self.view.frame;
First we grab a URL to either a local or remote video. Next we create an AVPlayer with this URL, and add said player to the newly created AVPlayerViewController instance. You can auto-play a video by using the player's play method, or remove it and leave it up to the user to start the video.
Next we'll present the controller by adding it as a subview to our current view, making sure it has the same frame size.
The class works equally well with local and remote URLs. To play a remote asset, construct the URL like this:
NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://github.com/versluis/Movie-Player/blob/master/Movie%20Player/video.mov?raw=true"];

A 43-year-old Iraq war veteran with diabetes is living in Texas with his wife and four young children when he is told that he must prepare for the amputation of one of his legs. The spreading, non-healing wounds and their complications make the amputation necessary to save not just his limb, but his life, his doctors tell him. But he refuses to proceed with the amputation surgery.
Instead, he searches the Web until he finds a research study on limb preservation and wound healing advances. The study is led by a former military doctor now at Boston Medical Center, a podiatrist and podiatric surgeon by the name of Dr. Vicki Driver. The man gets in his truck and drives 1,500 miles to see her. She agrees to work with him, enlisting the help of a team of vascular, cardiac, and other specialists, and in the end, she saves his leg. Later, when he develops wound ulcers in the other leg, she and her team of specialists manage to heal and save that one, too.
The good news for people with diabetes is that this story, although perhaps more dramatic than most, is not at all unusual. Until rather recently, however, the man from Texas would probably have lost both his legs. Dr. Steven Kavros, a respected podiatric surgeon and researcher at the famed Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, says that when lower limbs are amputated in people with diabetes, 40 to 50 percent of those patients lose another limb within three to five years. He adds that if a person with diabetes has a non-traumatic limb loss, there is a 50 per cent chance that he or she will die from cardiovascular complications in three to five years.
Estimates are that 15 percent of people with diabetes will develop foot ulcers, often without recognizing it until too late, due to poor foot circulation and neuropathy that masks pain. How significant a problem are non-healing wounds in lower extremities for people with diabetes? Consider this finding from Dr. William J. Ennis of University of Illinois in Chicago: "People with diabetes account for 60 percent of all amputations performed in the United States annually."
Self-Management Is Crucial
For this story, we interviewed three of the world's leading podiatric physicians and surgeons who specialize in diabetic wound healing and limb preservation. Although they all lauded the remarkable progress that new treatments and systems have made possible, they also repeated the counsel that people with diabetes have heard from their doctors many times: The most important factor in preventing lower limb wounds and amputations is dedicated self-management of the disease, including constant attention to the feet and lower extremities as well as A1c levels and vision changes.
In his practice as a doctor of podiatric medicine and surgery at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., Dr. John Steinberg specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of complex lower extremity wounds. The 80 patients that he typically sees during a week are a varied group. "We may have a U.S. senator or ambassador in one examining room and a homeless person in the other," he says.
Dr. Steinberg notes that his biggest challenge is finding the cause of the wound. Diabetes, he says, is not the cause. "Diabetes does not cause foot ulcers and recalcitrant wounds," he emphasizes. What does cause these ulcers and wounds in the feet and lower limbs of people with diabetes, he explains, is pressure on the feet and legs caused by ischemia, poor circulation, neurological problems, and infection-all complicating and attending factors of the disease. To heal the wound, the solution is to relieve the pressure, which Dr. Steinberg calls "the mechanics." Sometimes those mechanics may involve surgery to correct a bone or foot deformity, coupled with getting the patient into special shoes.
Many of the patients who come to Dr. Steinberg and his podiatric colleagues at the Georgetown Hospital have already been to one or two other physicians who've not been able to offer the solution they seek. "These patients then ask us if we can help," he says, "and our answer is usually 'yes.'"
New Technology Is a Formidable Treatment Tool
New technology is another reason that Dr. Steinberg and other cutting-edge podiatric specialists are able to treat severe lower limb wounds before the bones become infected. Dr. Steinberg says that he has witnessed a "dramatic improvement" in wound healing technology in the 10 years since he finished his fellowship in diabetic limb salvage at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. Non-healing, or recalcitrant, wounds are being healed and closed, infections are being eradicated, and even the elasticity of connective tissue in limbs is often being recovered.
A significant challenge with non-healing wounds is that they often have deep wound beds where bacteria colonize and produce flourishing infections, says the Mayo Clinic's Dr. Kavros. The bacteria develop into a biofilm, which he describes as looking like a cookie. In fact, the bacteria create a sugar-laden form over the wound that obstructs the application of antibiotics and treatment.
However, new technologies are available to remediate this high degree of colonization and the biofilms that block the healing process. Hyperbaric chambers are sometimes used to literally bombard the wound area with pure oxygen, boosting blood flow and encouraging healing. Another therapy treats the wound with a device that combines painless ultrasonic sound with a fine saline mist. The sound energy and saline stimulate cellular activity and accelerate healing. Known as "MIST Therapy," it's been found to be remarkably effective, economical, and quick.
MIST Therapy, which was approved by the FDA in October 2004, was developed by a Minnesota company named Celleration. Treatments are done 5 centimeters from the wound. Typically, wounds are treated three times a week, and each treatment is about four minutes long.
In one study done by Dr. Kavros and his co-investigators, size-of-wound reduction in patients using the system was achieved 72 percent of the time, versus a 46 percent reduction in the patients using normal wound therapy. Total wound closure for patients using the system was 70 percent, compared to 21 percent for the patients receiving normal care.
"I first heard about this system in 1999, and I was very skeptical," Dr. Kavros says. "Now, every day, we see more and more evidence of its effectiveness. We often see changes in a week and a half." The net result, he says, is that with this new system, he can "handle more cases, with better results, in less time and for less cost." He likes to tell the story of a 62-year-old patient who was so grateful for his recovery with the treatment that he purchased a MIST Therapy system and donated it to the clinic.

Why not giving your denim jacket a double use? It took me a while to find this long version and now I cant really take it off, literally. I guess denim is one of those constants in everyones closet, whether its jeans or a denim jacket and I remember having one when I was about 10 years old and thinking it was the coolest thing in the whole wide world….I tried turning my denim jacket into a skirt for a day, layering some lace underneath to make it a little more interesting and adding some color to give it more life. See? I told you I cant take it off.

If you would like to post some of those special photographs of your Lauderdale County ancestors to the "Special Cousins" section of the Lauderdale County Web web site, it would be a pleasure to publish them for you.
The purpose of publishing your photos might be to assist researchers from other localities who may be working a family tree that could be linked to your own or, perhaps, just sharing those photographs with others around the country. In the past, visitors who have discovered a link to Lauderdale County in their research, have found familiar photos on the "Special Cousins" pages and have been able to share information with those who have published them.
Occasionally a few unknown photos are published as well, but usually only when the "back pages" (the page that appears when a visitor clicks on the "More Info" link displayed under the photo) can provide useful information that might assist in the identification process.
It's important to be careful in selection the photos you'd like to publish. It is not considered appropriate to publish photo of living persons without their specific, expressed (written) permission. Further, if your photo has a copyright mark on it, it may still be published but only with the copyright mark left in place.
The main goal is to focus on photos of known individuals who may have lived in the area and might be recognized by Lauderdale County Web visitors. With unknowns, its probably best to select photos of those whom are suspected of having some link to the county. Whether the photo is of a person who actually lived in Lauderdale County isn't as important as the possibility that someone now living there or researching family from there might recognize the individual in the photo.
Please contact the Webmaster before sending your scanned images for posting. When you scan your photos, you should know that the ideal size for the larger images (the back page image) is about 300 x 425 pixels. A little larger or smaller is okay as well, some adjustments can be made. However, it's difficult to resize photos that are too large or small since some of the clarity and detail preserved in the photo is lost in the sizing process. The Webmaster will reduce the larger photos to display on the main "Special Cousins" page and publish the larger image, along with the information about the person that you provide, on the back page.
If you don't have any control over the size of the scanned image (some software only scans one size), the Webmaster will work with what you can send. Please be sure that the image can be associated with the correct information for that photo. If you must send multiple photos in a single email, it's probably best to use a descriptive file name, like "WilliamHBrown.jpg" with each image and in the information provided for that individual make sure to include the name in the text (e.g., William H. Brown was born on September 6, 1901...)
The Lauderdale County Web web site is also very interested in older photos that depict historic scenes of Meridian and Lauderdale County. These can be posted in articles and stories associated county history. In this case, even current color photos of objects -- monuments, geographical features, buildings -- are useful.
The family images (photographs) will continue to be your property and, if at some point in the future, you decide you'd like to have them removed from the site, just send the Webmaster a note to that effect. You are just giving the Lauderdale County Web web site permission to publish them until you decide otherwise.
As you may know, visitors to our web site who are searching for their ancestors frequently search the site looking for specific family names. The site search engine will assist them in locating the photos that match the search criteria. If a person searches for "William H. Brown" and the site search engine locates that name on the web site, it will display a link to the photo. It's also useful to know that all of the major search engines, like Google, Yahoo and others, frequently crawl the site and index the data that is found there. In this way, the names published with your photographs will show up in a Google (or Yahoo, etc.) search.
If you would like to know about any inquiries regarding the photos you post, please let the Webmaster know in your response and they will be forwarded to you (without disclosing any information about you or the photo you've posted) and you can decide if you'd like to reply directly to the visitor. Your email address will not be posted on the site unless you specifically request it.
It usually takes a few days or a week for the Webmaster to get the photos ready to publish. When they are online, before they are made available to the general public, the Webmaster will send you a list of links that point directly to the back pages (large photo) and text. This will be your opportunity to review these pages to make sure that Uncle Bill's photo hasn't been identified as Aunt Tillie and to review the information on the back page for that photo. If you'd like to make any changes in the text, this would be the best time to do it.
If you're ready to begin the process of having your photos posted, please contact the

Introduction To Body Metanephrines
Metanephrine is used to describe the chemical byproduct of the catecholamine hormone epinephrine after it is broken down. Epinephrine is also known as "adrenaline" and it is produced in cases of "flight or fight." The main organ that produces epinephrine is the adrenal gland.
In stressful situations, epinephrine is used to caused the muscles to tense and get them ready for action. More muscle glycogen is broken down to mobilize glucose, and stored fat is rapidly converted to glucose, also.
When epinephrine encounters the heart muscle, it causes an increase in the heartbeat with more oxygen and glucose being sent to this muscle. In response to an increase heartbeat in the presence of epinephrine, the body also increases its breathing rate. In other areas of the circulatory system, blood is diverted away from organs such as the skin and digestive system in preparation for flight or a fight. Therefore, in the presence of epinephrine, the body undergoes quite a physiological change.
- slide 2 of 4
How Epinephrine Is Released & Metanephrine Is Formed
However in certain tumors of the adrenal gland, the tumor cells will produce too much epinephrine and the body seems to be always in this constant state of "flight or fight." The most common adrenal tumor that produces elevated urine metanephrines is called a pheochromocytoma.
If the physician suspects that the person might have this disease they will order plasma or urine metanephrines testing to rule out any other possible reasons for the patient having similar signs and symptoms. If the reason for the patient's symptoms is due to a pheochromocytoma, then this tumor can be removed before the illness becomes more severe.
Since a person's metanephrine level can fluctuate over time, a full twenty-four hour sample of urine is collected. In some instances, a urine test is preferred over a blood test for metanephrine as they might show in the urine for a longer time than in the blood, as the body's natural response is to filter the blood quickly and keep it clean.
This test is also able to help in the diagnosis of hard to control high blood pressure if there are other common symptoms associated with it. In some cases, the person with a tumor in the adrenal gland can have urine metanephrines tests ordered if they show no symptoms. This can help the physician with the diagnosis of the tumor's location. In a few instances, a physician can order this laboratory test if there is a strong family history of pheochromocytoma
- slide 3 of 4
What Does An Elevated Level Mean?
If there are elevated urine metanephrines, then it is up to the physician to discover the exact cause for the increased amount of urine metanephrines. Recall that epinephrine is produced in stressful situations, but can also be increased with certain medications or infections.
Even though metanephrines are produced in high quantities by a pheochromocytoma, a positive urine test will not always indicate that a tumor is present. Therefore, the physician will need to complete further tests, for example, ultrasound scan or even a biopsy, before the correct diagnosis can be made.

On the topic of PLAs, RKG senior research analyst Mark Ballard described Google's move to power their previously free comparison shopping product with the ad format by this fall as, "the biggest development of the quarter for pay-per-click advertising."
Charlottesville, VA (PRWEB) July 11, 2012
RKG (Rimm-Kaufman Group), one of the largest independent digital marketing agencies in the U.S., released its latest Digital Marketing Report covering the second quarter of 2012 today. Across its client base, which includes over 30 of the top 500 internet retailers, RKG found Google search spend growth slipping from Q1 levels, but remaining robust at 32%.
Lower average cost-per-click (CPC), down 10%, continued to temper the impact of booming Google paid click growth rates, which remained near five year highs. While Google controlled 77% of organic search traffic, it was better able to monetize its user base than rivals Bing and Yahoo, generating 84% of paid clicks and taking 84% of search ad spend.
For their part, Bing and Yahoo improved upon their first quarter spend growth in Q2, taking in 16% more revenue than the same period a year ago. Although click growth for these Microsoft adCenter-powered listings remained tepid at 3%, advertisers increased their spending per click by 12%.
For the second quarter in a row, tablets were a bigger traffic driver than smartphones for the RKG client base. Largely due to the success of the iPad, tablets contributed 57% of mobile paid clicks in the second quarter, up from 54% in Q1. As Google preps the release of their own Nexus 7 tablet, Amazon's Kindle Fire remained Apple's nearest competitor in the space, but at a distant second with just 4% of tablet clicks to the iPad's 86%.
While mobile traffic more than doubled year-over-year, the segment has made little progress in closing the cost-per-click gap with desktop -- mobile CPCs were 28% cheaper than desktop in Q2. Even so, mobile has had only a minor impact on Google's continued CPC declines. Falling click costs for branded keywords and a shift in traffic to the Product Listing Ads (PLAs) format have had a bigger combined impact in this area.
On the topic of PLAs, RKG senior research analyst Mark Ballard described Google's move to power their previously free comparison shopping product with the ad format by this fall as, "the biggest development of the quarter for pay-per-click advertising." Adding that, "Google likely stands to generate hundreds of millions, if not over a billion dollars in new annual revenue from this transition."
PLAs, a feed-based ad unit featuring a product image and pricing information, accounted for 15% of Google non-branded clicks and over 9% of total paid clicks across all search engines in Q2, but at a 23% lower CPC than comparable text ads. Meanwhile, Google Shopping held a 50% share of comparison shopping clicks. According to Ballard, "As the transition ramps up, PLA traffic will only increase, while higher competition should drive up CPCs for the format."
The full RKG report offers over 40 charts with additional insights and analysis on paid search, search engine optimization (SEO), social media advertising, comparison shopping engines, multi-channel attribution and more.
Among their published results, RKG found:
- Total paid search spending grew at a 29% year over year rate in Q2 2012. That was down slightly from a 32% growth rate for Q1. Ad clicks increased 37%.
- Google paid search spending grew 32% Y/Y in Q2, down from 36% in Q1. Google click growth was on par with Q1 at 46%, but CPCs fell by a larger amount. CPCs were 10% lower Y/Y in Q2, but up 4% Q/Q.
- Paid search spending on Bing and Yahoo combined grew 16% Y/Y in Q2, up from 10% growth in Q1. Click growth was weak at 4% Y/Y, while CPCs increased 12%.
- Google improved its share of organic search traffic, which rose from 76% in Q1 to 77% in Q2. Bing and Yahoo each held a share of 10%.
- Facebook increased its share of referral traffic to just under 6%. Pinterest accounted for a little over 1% of referrals on average, although that figure was highly variable from client to client.
- Mobile accounted for over 15% of organic search visits in Q2, up from 13% in Q1. Mobile share of paid search was lower than organic at 13% as advertisers limited their spending on poorly converting smartphone traffic.
- Tablets accounted for 57% of mobile paid search clicks, at a CPC 9% lower than desktop. Smartphone CPCs were 53% lower than desktop.
- RKG attribution data shows that only 25% of Q2 orders involved touches from multiple channels, but also that moving from a last touch model to a first touch model can shift revenue credit for individual channels by nearly 40%.

VIENNA (AP) — Police say a demonstration protesting a right-wing ball in Vienna ended with 20 detentions and four people slightly injured.
About 3,000 demonstrators gathered to oppose the ball being hosted at the Hofburg palace by the right-wing FPO party, which promotes xenophobia and has some neo-Nazi supporters.
Some tried to break through police barricades and a few threw paint bombs and tear gas canisters. They dispersed early Saturday.
The demonstrators said the guests include neo-Nazis and other rightist extremists from Austria and abroad.
Two demonstrators and two police officers were reported slightly hurt.

Leadership & Board
Profectum Foundation was founded to help parents and practitioners become more adept and effective at working with individuals with special needs. We aspire to build an organization that maximizes its global ability to help the special needs community while always remembering that our faculty and families are why we started the journey to create this organization. As such, we have adopted a governance model that keeps these principles in mind.
In crafting our organization and board, some of the principles we employed include:
- Put a professional in a role to a do a professional's job. None of us would call our plumber to get help for a dental problem, or a dentist for a car problem, etc. Yet we all too often see individuals put in roles that do not play to what they are uniquely gifted at doing due to perceived importance of titles, tenure, prestige, and a myriad of other reasons. At Profectum, we aspire to avoid this situation as we build our organization. As we grow, we believe in having professional administrators manage the daily operations of the foundation while keeping our scarce resource – our faculty – focused on the clinical and training mission of the organziation.
- Election by peers. All of Profectum's critical work are done in Working Groups. The leaders of these Working Groups are elected by members of the group based on the person's ability to advance the thinking and work of the group.
- Rotational leadership. We believe that new ideas are required in order to continually advance. Accordingly, our bylaws explicitly imposed a two-term limit on all individuals in leadership roles.
Based on our principles, our initial leaders are:
Clinical Leaders
- Clinical Director: Serena Wieder, PhD
- Medical Director and Medical Working Group Chair: Ricki Robinson, MD, MPH
- Mental Health Working Group Co-Chairs: Mona Delahooke, PhD and Gilbert Foley, EdD
- Occupational Therapy/Physical Therapy Working Group Chair: Rosemary White, OTR/L
- Speech-Language-Communications Working Group Chair: Sima Gerber, PhD, CCC-SLP
- Education Working Group Co-Chairs: Monica Osgood and Christine Seminaro, M Ed
Administrative Leaders
- Executive Director: Monica Osgood
- Training Program Admissions Coordinator: Griffin Doyle, PhD
- Foundation Administrator: Beth Arena
Based on our governance principles, we also created a unique board approach. One-half of the board is comprised on non-clinical board members who help the organization grow and prosper based on their ability to "Give", "Get", and/or "Guide". The other half is comprised of faculty members chosen from among Working Group Chairs (who themselves have been elected by their peers) to ensure Profectum maintains its clinical mission. Our initial board members are:
Non-faculty Board Members
- Paul Antony, MD MPD, Executive Director of Global Health Progress and Chief Medical Officer for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA)
- Geoffrey H. Bracken, Partner, Co-Chair, Trial Department, Gardere Wynne Sewell, LLP
- Geraldine Dawson, PhD, Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University Medical Center
- Cuong Do, Founder
- Shirlee Taylor, PhD, Executive Director, The FAR Fund

Find a Local Passport Office
Looking for US passport office information? You've come to the right place. There are two types of passport offices in the United States: Passport Acceptance Facilities and Regional Passport Agencies. Passport Acceptance Facilities are local passport offices that can provide passport applications, review passport applications, and verify your identity and US citizenship as a preliminary step to getting your passport. When you are applying for a first time passport, a passport for a child, or a replacement for a lost or damaged passport, the Passport Acceptance Facility will seal your application into an official envelope in a process called "executing the application."
Use our interactive map to discover which of the 8,000+ Passport Acceptance Facilities is most convenient for you.
"Me" will be used as the reference point to search from.
Enter your postal code or a city to modify your current location:
Expedited Passport Service at Passport Acceptance Facilities
