It seems like I've been here forever, but as of this month I've been at the Chattanooga Public Library for 1 year, 4 months. In that time, we've accomplished a lot of great things for the Chattanooga community. At the same time, I haven't been able to share as much because….well, things just got really busy in a good way! So this post is my Chattanooga catch up post….a way to share all of the positive things that have been happening around Chattanooga over the past few months.
One of the big new things in my world is library management. I manage The 2nd Floor, which is our brand name for the kid/tween/teen area. It's a huge space full of many different personalities, ages, and ideas. I do the weekly scheduling, make sure payroll gets in on time, order supplies, think a lot about the big picture stuff, and make sure that the staff is happy. Looking at what I just wrote doesn't seem like much what I've learned is that a lot of these little things add up. My brain is constantly running, making sure that I've done all the necessary management things while still keeping focus on the big picture: The 2nd Floor as a place in the community where kids, tweens, and teens can have fun and learn something along the way.
It's a change for me and I think it would be a change for most youth services librarians. Why? We're very creative individuals. We dream up programs in our sleep. We are the living embodiment of a makerspace. Blending that creative brain with a management brain has been a challenge, but I'm getting there. You don't have to kill one to have the other. You can make it work together.
One of the big realities that I'm learning about it that you will never have enough staff to do everything you want to do. The other part of that is that, wow, hiring people is expensive. It's not just the salary you need to look at, but benefits and all that other stuff.
That's where volunteers come into the picture. The problem is that I've never been good with managing volunteers. It's just not in my skill set and I'm ok with that. Luckily, Megan Emery is good at that and we work together. So basically when Megan got to Chattanooga she took the keys to the car and ran with them. And here's how awesome it has been:
July was one of our biggest months with teen volunteers and it showed. They took on projects that helped spruce up The 2nd Floor, making it more visually appealing for our community. They became our 3D printing experts, working one on one with anyone interested in trying out the service for the first time. Our 2nd Floor staff had more time to focus on their projects, focus on customer service, and in general just be great employees. Volunteers matter a whole lot for the public library, and it's even better when you give them a chance to work their own special brand of magic when they volunteer.
Megan wrote a really great piece about meaningful volunteer opportunities here and I highly suggest you check it out.
Every librarian has a library guilty pleasure. My guilty pleasure is statistics. I love collecting them, analyzing them, and then using those stats to help me make decisions. I love it when stats are down because it tells me that I need to grow and change something. I love it when stats are up because, well, that is just something that makes you feel really good.
I won't bore you with individual stats that went (way) up last fiscal year at the Chattanooga Public Library (if you wanna check them out), but I will say this; having an idea of what is/what isn't working will really help you better serve your community. It sharpens your focus and allows you to better delegate resources to the events and programs that best serve your community. Starting this month, the 2nd Floor started keeping track of how many people use the various areas of our space. The results so far have given us the numbers to back up exactly what all of our staff have been feeling: we're very busy these days. As a manager, this allows me to look at how we're working and how we can make improvements to better suit our staff.
I've grown to really love strong, consistent programming in libraries. If you do something well, you keep doing it and all throughout the process you keep on growing, refining, and making things better. However, at the same time you have to recognize when something isn't working and make those changes. Consistent Programming gives your library something great to share that your community will remember. Think of each program as a brand. Get those brands into the minds of the community and they'll be asking for more.
Just a few days ago we wrapped up the 2014 session of DEV DEV: summer of code at the Chattanooga Public Library. This program was created and ran by the Library, engage3D, AIGA Chattanooga, and the Benwood Foundation in 2013. Having this successful event repeat once again this year has helped us make the DEV DEV brand even stronger. When you mention DEV DEV in Chattanooga, the community knows that it is a program that teaches teens about HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Robotics. DEV DEV has become a brand that stands out in the community. Besides working with great partners, what made this possible? Consistency in programming.
For more on DEV DEV 2014, click here!
Back in 2010 when I wrote my first TTW post I talked about leadership and working in groups. At the core, that post was all about what really makes the public library work….PEOPLE.
It's the people that work in the library that make things awesome for the community. No matter where you go in libraries, you always have to remember that it's people that matter. Treat them with respect and love. Help them all along the way and let them know that their work counts in making your community a great place. I try to remind the folks that work on The 2nd Floor of that all the time. Working in a public library is important work for the community and YOU are making your city a better place to live.

|(205) 226-4891
Ann Dielen entered her 41st season as head coach of the BSC tennis program in the fall of 2017. The BSC program was re-established in 1977, and since that time Dielen has guided the Panthers to unprecedented levels, including a record number of national championship appearances. Dielen also serves as BSC's Senior Women's Administrator (SWA).
Under Dielen's direction, the women's team participated in the NAIA National Championships every year from the tournament's inception in 1980 until BSC's final NAIA membership season in 2001. No other program can boast this impressive feat. The men's team, which was under Dielen's guidance until turning it over to former assistant Brian Rahaley, was equally successful, reaching the national tournament 19 of 24 seasons.
A past president of the National Tennis Association, Dielen is a seven-time NAIA District Coach of the Year award winner. In 1992, she was selected the ITA Women's Tennis Coach of the Year. Dielen is also an inductee in the Alabama Tennis Hall of Fame and was a 1997 recipient of the USTA Community Service Award.
In addition to her coaching duties, Dielen played for the Alabama Senior Cup Team and for the Southern Senior Cup Team, which finished first in national competition five straight seasons. She and doubles partner Ann Ethredge won six Doubles National Championships (1990, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997) and finished second in 1992. Dielen and Ethredge also claimed the National 40 Clay Court doubles titles in 1996 and 1998.
While studying at Georgia State University, Dielen played number six on the men's team with a three-year record of 48-13. She continued her education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she received her Bachelor of Science in education and a Master's degree in education.
She and her husband, Willy Dielen, have two children, Marie and the late Wiel, and three grandchildren: Madeleine, Wils, and Quint.

RIP Christopher Trumbo
Christopher Trumbo, the screen and television writer son of Oscar-winning screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who was blacklisted and imprisoned during the Red Scare as a member of the Hollywood 10, has died. He was 70.
Trumbo died Saturday from complications of kidney cancer while in hospice care at his home in Ojai, said his sister, Mitzi Trumbo.
During a more than 40-year writing career launched in 1967, Trumbo wrote episodes of TV series such as "Ironside," "Quincy, M.E.," and "Falcon Crest" — as well as co-writing the 1973 crime drama "The Don Is Dead," starring Anthony Quinn; and the 1975 crime drama "Brannigan," starring John Wayne.
He also was known as an authority on the blacklist era, a specialty that grew from his firsthand knowledge.
That most notably included writing a two-character play based on his father's letters, "Trumbo: Red, White & Blacklisted," which tells the story of Dalton Trumbo's life and the blacklist through the words in his correspondence.
An off-Broadway production of the play, directed by Peter Askin, opened at the Westside Theatre in 2003 with Nathan Lane as Trumbo and Gordon MacDonald as the narrator.
The play ran a little over a year and boasted a string of familiar names who took over the Trumbo role, including Brian Dennehy, Gore Vidal, Richard Dreyfuss, F. Murray Abraham and Chris Cooper. A national tour of the play starring Dennehy followed.
Dalton Trumbo's letters also were the basis of the Christopher Trumbo-written and Askin-directed "Trumbo," a 2007 film that was part documentary and part performance by actors such as Lane, Dennehy, Paul Giamatti, Liam Neeson and Donald Sutherland.
"Actors love the language in those letters; that's why we were able to attract them," Askin told The Times on Tuesday. "This was great material for actors to work with."
Askin said Christopher Trumbo "was a passionate, articulate spokesman for the time of the blacklist."
"He learned about it from his father and experienced it, and he was absolutely articulate and vigilant in everything he did being an accurate interpretation of what that time was like and the principles his father stood for," Askin said. And Trumbo "was funny the way his father was," he said.
"You could tell he had absorbed his father's biting sense of humor and independence of spirit," he said. "You really felt like you were in his father's world when you were listening to Chris."
Born Sept. 25, 1940, in Los Angeles, Trumbo was 7 when his father was subpoenaed by the House Un-American Activities Committee as part of its investigation into "communist infiltration of the motion picture industry."
As one of the Hollywood 10 who refused to cooperate with the committee by challenging its right to ask questions about their political beliefs, Dalton Trumbo and the others were blacklisted by the studio owners.
After he and the others were indicted for contempt of Congress, tried, convicted and sentenced to prison, Dalton Trumbo spent 10 months in a federal prison in Kentucky.
Released in 1951, he and his family moved to Mexico City with the family of blacklisted screenwriter Hugo Butler. After nearly two years in Mexico, the Trumbos returned and settled in Highland Park.
The three Trumbo children felt the effects of the Red Scare and their father's notoriety.
"My younger sister was thrown out of the Blue Birds [young Campfire Girls] for being undesirable," Trumbo said in a 1996 Associated Press interview. "When I went to high school, the authorities tried to deprive me of one academic award because of my family background.
"Feelings about my father were strong enough to get a reaction from schools, private organizations and individuals who sent hate mail. That was the tenor of the times."
After his release from prison, Dalton Trumbo resumed writing under a variety of pseudonyms.
"He used at least 13 different names and had an elaborate bank account system to protect himself and the producers from being detected," Christopher Trumbo told The Times in 1989. "When I was 16 or 17, I was running around town with sometimes $10,000 or $20,000 in cash and checks, depositing them under these different names."
In 1957, Dalton Trumbo's story for "The Brave One," which he wrote under the name Robert Rich, won an Oscar.
For Dalton Trumbo, the blacklist ended when Kirk Douglas, the star and executive producer of "Spartacus," gave him screen credit under his own name on the film, which was released in 1960, the same year that producer-director Otto Preminger's "Exodus" also gave Trumbo screen credit on that film.
Christopher Trumbo graduated from Columbia University in 1963, after taking off a year to work as an assistant director on "Exodus." He later worked as associate producer and assistant director on the 1971 anti-war drama "Johnny Got His Gun," which was written and directed by his father. "Christopher's use of thought and language was unsurpassed," said Michael Butler, the son of Hugo Butler and Christopher Trumbo's writing partner in the late '60s and early '70s. "Unlike most of us in the '60s, Christopher was dedicated to always doing the right thing," Butler said. "He was an extraordinary moral and ethical human being. His path was always one of tremendous rectitude."
Trumbo, who was frequently interviewed about the Hollywood blacklist and appeared in several documentaries on the subject, was working on a memoir/history of the blacklist at the time of his death.
Besides his sister Mitzi, Trumbo is survived by his wife, Nancy Escher; and his other sister, Nikola Trumbo.
TRUMBO, Christopher
Born: 9/25/1940, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Died: 1/8/2011, Ojai, California, U.S.A.

Three Ways Caregivers Can Use Music Therapeutically
By Amy Goyer , March 15, 2013 07:21 PM
As a music therapist, I worked for many years with older adults and children with special needs using music as a tool to achieve non-musical goals. I used music to encourage expression and social interaction, physical activity and movement, brain stimulation, healing, verbal expression and communication, expression of emotions, reminiscence and even achieve simple eye contact.
I created a hand-chime choir with my adult day services center participants who traveled around performing for their peers at other centers. One of my favorite experiences was the intergenerational choir I conducted. Older adults who attended a senior center joined children from a local school - we performed at the Ohio Governor's Conference on Aging! Talk about a self-esteem builder and instilling a sense of purpose - singers of every age were thrilled.
When my grandparents were living, I used my music therapy skills with them as well. My grandmother Genevieve had dementia, and eventually became blind. She loved music. I have wonderful memories of my visits with Granddaddy CV and her, especially when I fixed their old phonograph and got out those hard, brittle 78 records and we'd play them, singing and dancing together and laughing deliciously at our silliness. When she could no longer dance, I would play piano for her and sing. Even as her verbal skills diminished, she could still sing her favorite hymns. When the words would no longer come, the melodies remained and she could hum along. In the last days of her life, the healing power of music was calming for her. (Read the AARP Bulletin story from Sally Abrahms here.)
Now - 30 years after I got my degree in music therapy - I find myself using my music therapy skills with my own parents, who live with me. My Mom enjoys music, and she had a stroke more than 20 years ago. We've used music therapeutically for her over the years - from melodic intonation therapy to enhance her verbal skills to using music to motivate her to move her body and enjoy exercises.
My Dad now has Alzheimer's disease and glaucoma. As his vision deteriorates, and his cognitive abilities slowly diminish, his activities are becoming more limited. But these four things are the joys in his life - truly his quality of life: his family (especially Mom), physical activity (he loves to walk and exercise,) his dog, Jackson and music. Music is indispensible for those with Alzheimer's. When he sings - his true essence shines through.
These are some of the quick and easy ways I incorporate music into our everyday lives:
- I keep a CD player on the back porch where Dad likes to sit in the sunshine and listen to his favorite tunes - everything from classical to World War II-era music to Josh Groban. It transforms a solitary time into a fun, relaxing or stimulating experience and activity for him.
- I keep a DVD library and I use the DVR to tape musicals (hint: TCM airs them frequently!). We watch them often as the plots are easier to follow, they keep Dad's attention and Mom enjoys them ... and Dad and I sing along! Dad and I frequently have spontaneous dance contests as we view them. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Sound of Music and Oklahoma are just a few of our faves.
- Dad likes to take Jackson for several walks every day, and I turn our walks into musical adventures. Physical activity and music are a golden combination for brain stimulation. It's amazing to me the songs that Dad will remember when we're walking - the other day he sang one of his college fraternity songs for me that I had never heard before - see video I shot (above) when we got home as he sang it for Mom. He's so adorable! When we walk, if he begins to drag his feet, I encourage him to play drill sergeant (he's a WWII veteran) and he calls out the march and then we sing patriotic songs. His pace instantly picks up and the shuffling stops.
These are just a few ways I use music, and you can too. Music really is a unique and special tool and you don't have to be a professional music therapist to utilize it in your daily routines to enhance yours and your loved ones' lives. I use music therapeutically for myself too - to calm, relax, energize and express my caregiving experience.
If you're a caregiver and want to learn more about how you can use music, or engage a trained music therapist with your loved one, please join me for an online webchat on Tuesday, March 19 from 3 to 4 p.m. ET. Share your ideas and I'll share mine.

Everlasting returns
Leonid Tishkov's works have come into being in our culture through nearly all fundamental artistic strategies – objects, paintings, installations, video art, performance, artist's books. There is no denying that this body of work could be examined as a matrix, a model of an "autobiographical" phenomenon in contemporary integral art. The organic ties of this monolith, stemming from non-aesthetic sources, such as: the Ural mountains - the artist's birthplace and the boundary between the East and the West; the topography of this very place – its mountain ranges and valleys; Tishkov's peasant roots, which reach far back and are connected with his rustic sense of culture, which was later reinforced by basic knowledge resulting form his contact with educational institutions; the profession of a teacher, practiced by his father, as well as his own, that of a medical doctor, which influenced the geophysical character of the artist's oeuvre. All of the above-mentioned factors shed only a little light on the determinability of the auto-biographical semantics of his, seemingly autonomous, artistic life. Cultural context transforms Tishkov's work, and his very existence, into an uniform text which reveals its meaning with reference to completely different traditions and categories that the artistic reality in its basic form. Tishkov breathes and sways in a borderline situation, between art and life, transforming into an "opus" (the auto-bio-graphy described extensively by Valerij Podoroga's artistic group), converting himself into a condition of the work's existence, and refusing the contemporary "here-and-now". In one of his video works Leonid Tishkov, slowly, as if in a child's dream, climbs the Kukan mountain – the mountain in the foot of which he spent his childhood. "Waving his wings", like Yves Klein once did, he ascends into the Great Nothing. Where, as he often says himself, everything is "upside down" and exists in the binary system: the up and the down, the color and its lack, sound and silence, myth and reality. Tishkov's love for the "fabric", the "matter", constantly drives him to the process of materializing issues from the sphere of ideas – towards the "rag dolls from his childhood", towards the greater form of touch, when all human organs are able to feel the world, towards crating Cosmos as a refuge for all that is born. The connection between the matter, the mother, the womb and the continent (Russian "matka" and "matierika") in Tishkov's artistic system illustrates the real depth of his mythical-poetic consciousness. The artist reconstructs his birth "place", conveys its matrix-like aspect, its predilection to divisions, to duplications, to dabloidation. The phenomenal aspect of this space is realized in objects, the holy amulets of the primeval, as in the case of Joseph Beuys's birth of prime-objects which accumulate the space around them and, as Martin Heidegger wrote "make it possible for a man to live among objects".For Leonid Tishkov, descending into the "underworld" is situated on the opposite pole of the tradition of journeys to the kingdom of death, described by Dante Alghieri in his "Divine Comedy". In the sacred center of the "underworld", the "crystal stomach of an angel" opens before the artist – an image which is symmetrical to that of a stone flower found in Bazov's fairy tales from the Ural region. It is one of Tishkov's best video works, referring to complete good, communion and blessedness. The way from the "underworld" becomes a way to heaven. It is – in the philosophy of Laozi – "all-encompassing, fixed, clear and high". Those features become visible in a Zen koan, in the flapping of wings, in the overcoming of time and space, in the evolutionary circle in which Leonid Tishkov's work is located".

Mt. Airy's Todd Bernstein will spend Monday busily overseeing the biggest celebration of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy to date in Philadelphia.
Founder and director of the Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service, Bernstein is proud that this year there are more than 1,200 service projects planned city-wide with just under 70 in Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy alone.
"On Monday people should do what they want, said Bernstein. "Its first and foremost about celebrating the legacy of Dr. King. The notion of doing service is one of identifying the community needs and responding through citizen action."
This year marks the 16th Annual Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service for Bernstein's Global Citizen organization. He hopes the day makes people think about what Dr. King would do in today's society.
"It is also a time to reflect on the meaning between civic action and Dr. King and how important it is to do this not just one day but year round, to be involved, to volunteer, be a more active member in the community," said Bernstein.
A national record of 75,000 volunteers are expected to participate in more than 1,200 community service projects throughout the region on Monday, Jan. 17, which marks the 25th anniversary of the King federal holiday.
Northwest Interfaith Movement, which is hosting its 28th Annual Interfaith Celebration of the Life and Legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this year, is also taking a big step forward. NIM is featuring Daisy Kahn, who along with her husband Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, heads the American Society for Muslim Advancement and the development of the Muslim Community Center "Park 51" near Ground Zero. Kahn will speak at a celebration to be held on Sunday, Jan. 16 at the Arch Street Presbyterian Church, 1724 Arch St., from 3-5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
"MLK led a struggle of people to be treated fairly," said Eric Wilden, NIM's assistant director. "Many groups still struggle these days and Muslim-Americans are one them. We expect Daisy Kahn to talk about her work with interfaith relations and mutual respect and understanding of others."
Anyone interested in volunteering for a service project can visit www.mlkdayofservice.org or call the King Day of Service headquarters at 215-665-2475 for information or to register. Information about many events can also be fond at facebook.com/phillykingday and twitter.com/mlkdayofservice.

The 4th Annual Lonestar Rod & Kustom Round Up
In just four short years, the Lonestar Rod & Kustom Round Up has built itself into one of the "must attend" events for all retro rodders around the globe. Modeled after the West Coast's Paso Robles event, the Austin, Texas, event offers even more with a rockin' night scene in the town that invented live music. The show is based out of the historic Continental Club, which has hosted any and every cool musician you can think of since the dawn of rock 'n' roll, and other live music clubs are within walking distance on Congress Street. The food cannot be forgotten either as these people know how to barbecue just about anything to perfection!
The weekend begins with people and cars converging to the state capitol throughout the week and then really making it a party on Friday night when cruising is a mandatory event. Later that night bands fire up in the clubs and festivities continue into the wee hours. On Saturday morning the rumbling rods and customs roll onto event grounds and line up casually where ever they like. Once the cars are settled, the live music starts up again and continues through the day as spectators check out the rides and wares of many talented artists, like Von Franco and Keith Weesner, who show off their latest creations in the vendor area.
The day is wrapped up with a casual awards ceremony for rides selected by the Kontinentals who do all the hard work making the event happen. That night the action moves back to Congress Street with even more cruising and spectating from the sidewalk. After the sun sets the bands again plug in and rock Austin well into the night, with rodders like Bob Bleed, of Bleed and Bubba Luv, and Hank Cash, of High School Caesar, making it happen.
Wrapping up the wild weekend on Sunday is a leisurely cruise out to a local lake for a burger and some final bench racing and story swapping until next year. For information on the next Lonestar Rod & Kustom Round Up and a look at past events, check out www.lone-starroundup.com. We'll see you there next year!

Don't get a gun! At least not legally. That will be the first thing they go after when martial law is implemented. What you should be doing is stocking up on necessary supplies for when hyperinflation hits..Unfluoridated bottled water, non-perishable food, a generator, 9 volt batteries and steel wool, sleeping bags and tents...look for alternative heat sources and hand filtration systems for water.
thanks for the kind words

The H1N1 vaccine is a travesty which not many seem to understand. It is NOT 1 booster shot, but three separate injections. Get this....the first DESTROYS your immune system, the second reprograms your immune defenses, and the third kick starts your immunities again. The government is NOT telling people this. So those who get the first shot and are not informed that they NEED the other two, will go home thinking everything is hunky dory and could die from anything at all. I personnally will never take it because I don't trust what they are doing at all.
It's all good.

As you've probably heard by now, China's been dealing with a massive tainted milk problem. Now that hundreds of tons of milk products have been recalled, precincts are scrambling to figure out what to do with the resulting trash. One city in Southern China has decided that one great way to get rid of all that melamine-laden fluid is to bake them into bricks and cement.
Wang Fan, director of the Guangzhou food safety office, told reporters that the milk burned in a kiln produces a residue that can be used to manufacture building blocks. By disposing of it this way, the government can ensure that it doesn't get poured into rivers (which would contaminate fish) or dumped into landfills (possibly contaminating ground water). The cost is way lower too - about 700 yuan per ton for brick making rather than 1800 yuan per ton for hazardous waste treatment.
The moral to this story: When life gives you tainted milk, make bricks. Well, hopefully that and completely overhaul your food and drug safety system to better regulate a market that's exploded in size in the last twenty years. [China Daily]

Procedures during a surgery last year at Manatee Memorial Hospital went horribly awry.
The patient's request to see her surgeon before the operation was not fulfilled.
The staff did not mark the proper site of the surgery, with the patient's acknowledgment, and improperly positioned the woman on the operating table.
The operating room team, led by the surgeon, either didn't conduct a required "time out" to discuss the procedure or it was held too soon, according to at least one member of the Florida Board of Medicine.
Then Dr. Philip Tally of Bradenton operated on the wrong side of the patient's skull, even though he had previously evaluated the North Port woman's condition and recommended surgery.
Fifteen minutes after the woman's anesthesia treatment ended, someone had her sign a consent form so Dr. Tally could perform the surgery on the appropriate side of the woman's skull.
How could this series of fundamental mistakes occur?
During a hearing last month, the Board of Medicine -- which includes 12 physicians and three "civilians" -- repeatedly asked Tally that question. And, before publication of an article about this botched procedure, Herald-Tribune reporter Donna Koehn posed similar questions to Manatee Memorial officials.
The Board of Medicine didn't think much of Tally's replies, which focused on failures in pre-op before he arrived in the operating room. We don't think much of Manatee Memorial's responses, either.
Tally declined comment to the Herald-Tribune, which published the article Sunday, and referred questions to the hospital.
Vernon DeSear, a vice president and spokesman for the hospital, wrote in an email: "Manatee Memorial Hospital is legally prohibited from disclosing any internal peer review investigations or actions pertaining to its medical staff."
In a follow-up email, reporter Koehn said she wanted to give Manatee Memorial another opportunity to explain what steps, if any, the hospital has taken to prevent similar incidents: "The hospital has investigated this matter and taken appropriate measures to guard against an incident such as this happening again," DeSear wrote.
In other words, hospital officials aren't telling anything -- except that they expect the blind trust of patients and the public, which funnels millions of dollars to Manatee Memorial each year. We understand that the patient has sued over the errors but, still, it seems to us that Manatee Memorial could and should explain whatever safety procedures it has implemented.
At least Tally detailed some specific changes in policies and procedures at Manatee Memorial during questioning by the Board of Medicine. For instance, site-of-surgery markings are now required for all procedures, including those involving the skull, and larger informational signs for both patients and staff have been installed to highlight rights and responsibilities.
Unfortunately, it shouldn't have taken an error of this magnitude to prompt the implementation of measures long considered standard in health care.
The Board of Medicine's hearing did not, regrettably, include questions about whether a hospital or surgeon should be able to gain consent for another surgery until the patient has fully recovered and had the situation explained. (Exceptions could be necessary when life-threatening conditions mandate an immediate procedure.) Recovery and an explanation are particularly important if the patient has been subjected to medical errors, as was the case in this incident.
The state board's staff recommended that Tally receive a "letter of concern" and pay a $7,500 fine. The board balked on the letter, citing a 1993 wrong-side surgery performed by Tally, and instead opted for a reprimand and the fine.
Board members said the fine and reprimand were consistent with similar, repeat incidents. If that is the case, it is a small price to pay. Whether the cost of the lawsuit will be so modest remains to be seen.

City says grant will give former gang members new skills
A half-million dollar grant proposal on Tuesday's Omaha City Council agenda could teach young men in northeast Omaha skills to make positive changes in their lives.
The 68111 zip code, a five-square mile section of northeast Omaha, saw nearly half of the city's homicides from 2007 to 2011. That area also usually sees a spike in violence when gang affiliated offenders return after getting out of prison. Mayor Jim Suttle's RISE initiative aims to change that.
RISE stands for re-entry, integration, service and engagement.
"For the offender who wants to do something different and find a correct course in life, they volunteer for this," said Suttle.
The RISE initiative would be funded by a $446,000 grant, which the city council still has to approve. It would focus on that five-square mile area of the city.
"After research, that's where the majority of offenders are coming out of, that's where their home addresses are," said city Grant Administrator Gail Braun.
Proponents say RISE would give 18-29 year old gang members on probation after jail time a positive step forward.
"Then we can make a difference with that particular set of neighborhoods that are inside that zip code," said Mayor Suttle.
The Eastern Nebraska Community Action Partnership will help teach the young men the skills they need to succeed.
"Team building, communication, life skills, just how to handle personal situations, barriers that are within their life," explained Saundra Love, an employment initiative manager for ENCAP. Love sees those barriers with people helped by ENCAP's 'Opening Doorways to Success.' That is the same program the RISE initiative will use to help young offenders move past their past.
"[We'll work] with individuals who are trying to come out and find a foothold, integrate back into the community," said Love. "Who they are today is a person who is looking for an opportunity to show their value, their worth, what they can do, not what they have done in the past."
Omaha was one of 150 applicants for the grant funds and one of only 15 which received it. Omaha City Council members will hear public comment about the proposal at Tuesday's meeting, then discuss it further at their meeting December 4th.

Subtle changes have turned the latest version of the Pro-Viz hi Visibility Rucksack into an extremely capable bag cum safety aid for commuting, utility riding and less extreme mountain biking. To be fair the original version was pretty good but better internal organisation now includes a dedicated laptop pouch, wallet and phone pockets leaving more room for a change of clothes and other, everyday essentials which adds to the useability. As do the inclusion of sternum straps and a hydration bladder caddy making it an option for mountain bikers or road racers whose commuting doubles as training.
Made from water resistant rip-stop polyester, the retina scorching yellow is tempered by grey panelling and mesh pockets. Common to the brand's pannier cover, the electric blue luminescent strips are limited to the triangular section, which also house the small battery pack. Thoughtfully, this simply unclips from the main bag, meaning it can be machine washed when things start looking grubby.
Opening the zippers rewards with a series of sensibly proportioned sub compartments. Coming from a diet of luxurious messenger satchels, these feel distinctly low rent but keep keys, wallets, cards, patch kits etc tidy while the mesh pockets running shotgun either side are perfect for spare lights, energy bars and other useful overspill. Like its predecessor, 28litres sees efficient packing achieve an A4 folder, change of clothes, spare tubes, small frame-fit pump and a U lock without feeling over burdened thanks to the heavily padded shoulder straps and back panel.
Five miles or so at a steady 20 mph with the mercury nudging a moderate nineteen degrees induced a very pronounced damp patch across my shoulders and lower back. However, despite being laden to the brim, the newly introduced sternum straps greatly eliminate sway when powering away from the lights or honking on the climbs and it's never proved restrictive when glancing over my shoulder or performing sharp turns in congested traffic. Speaking of which, the electro-luminescent technology doesn't seem quite so potent as it's predecessor-although most traffic acknowledged me to a maximum distance of 150 yards. Torrential downpours have made negligible impression on the fabric, contents or electrics but I'd still be inclined to pack a bin-liner just in case.
Practical bag cum safety aid with applications beyond commuting.

Make and model: Proviz Hi Visibility Rucksack
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
"New and updated light-emitting rucksack
Includes our unique and removable battery powered, light-emitting system" I would describe the rucksack as "commuter plus" in the sense it meets the needs of those unable to fit/ not wanting the encumbrance of rack and panniers yet hardy enough for light mountain biking too.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Unique airflow system to help keep your back cool
Manufactured in fluorescent yellow rip-stop nylon
Reflective logos for added visibility
Chest strap for added security and stability
Hydration bladder compatible
2 AA batteries required
Seems hardy enough for occasional trail riding too.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
There's no doubting this year's model is a marked improvement over it's predecessor thanks to sensible compartments and detachable electrics. For moderate commutes-say around five to ten miles, comfort isn't too much of an issue but hammering along at race pace results in the usual sweat patches. However, the fabric seems hardy enough for occasional cross country mtb/cross fun and the sternum straps pretty much eliminate annoying sway. It's also got to be said that not everyone is going to put the hammer down as much as me plus of course some of us run hotter than others.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Very little to dislike given the asking price and it's nice to see Proviz have listened to and moreover, acted upon feedback.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Nothing, although the internal compartments felt a little low rent.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Possibly
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Generally speaking, yes

Talk:List of parishes in the Australian Capital Territory
Queanbeyan is not on the ACT. It is in NSW. chrisg 2006-05-27-2345 EAST
- It's probably worth leaving in, albeit with a note, because according to the Australian Public Service a lot of people live in Queanbeyan but work in Canberra. — Pιsτévο, at 09:07, May 27, 2006 (CDT)
- I don't blame them one little bit. Who would want to live in the ACT when you can live in NSW :)
- ACT law does not apply in Queanbeyan. NSW law applies in Queanbeyan. To move a suspect from Queanbeyan to the ACT requires an extradiction order.
- If people are going to look for all parishes in NSW, then the current arrangement is deficient because Queanbeyan is not listed there. chrisg 2006-05-28-0017

DB2 Data Sharing and XCF Job Name - Revisited
MartinPacker 11000094DH Comments (3) Visits (15202)
It's been almost four years since I wrote DB2 Data Sharing and XCF Job Name . It mostly stands the test of time but there are a couple of things I want to bring up. I was in the DB2 Development lab a couple of days ago, talking with a couple of developer friends about DB2 Data Sharing and XCF. They know DB2 Data Sharing and IRLM much better than I do but XCF not so much. (It's probable that XCF... [More]
z/OS R.9 RMF Parallel Sysplex New Fields
MartinPacker 11000094DH Comments (3) Visits (13433)
I've just re-read the XCF (74-2) and CF (74-4) sections of the z/OS Release 9 SMF Manual. There are some nice things in there... XCF (74-2) Number of buffer 1KB blocks by path (R742PUSE). This should tell you whether memory waste by over-specifying CLASSLEN is a problem. And some of the other scenarios. Member job name (R742MJOB). I'd like to believe this would tell us which IRLM a given member... [More]
DB2 Data Sharing and XCF Job Name

Back in z/OS R.9 RMF Parallel Sysplex New Fields (in 2007) I mentioned a new field: R742MJOB (XCF Member Job Name.) At the time I had no real customer data so I could only espouse the HOPE that this field would be useful. (When I asked for it to be added to the SMF 74 Subtype 2 record it seemed to me it probably would be.) Now that z/OS R.9 is "mainstream" I'm seeing lots of data at this level.... [More]

In the same meeting with RMF Development as ERBSCAN / ERBSHOW was discussed we talked about Parallel Sysplex instrumentation. (Both XCF and Coupling Facility aspects.) One thing I hadn't noticed is the appearance of Subchannel Busy Percentage as a number in the following three places: In Monitor III In the Spreadsheet Reporter As Overview Condition ("SUBCHBP") I think you can do useful work with...

Twinkie, Twinkie pastry star, how we wonder what you are — made of.
The iconic cream-filled dessert is as familiar to millions as a nursery rhyme, but its cosmic aura — not to mention its ingredients — remains as mythical, if not mystical, as science fiction.
The critical question: Can the squishy yellow snack — once wrongly rumored to be able to survive for years on a shelf — survive the impending death of its equally famous maker, Hostess Brands?
Answer: Probably. Ditto for Ho-Ho's. And Ding-Dongs. And perhaps even those pink, coconut-coated Hostess Sno Balls that left millions of hands sticky and mouths tingling. These, after all, are iconic brands whose cultural value far exceeds their slumping sales.
None more so than Twinkie.
"Twinkies were the rock stars of the '60s," says Barbara Lippert, pop culture guru and columnist for MediaPost.com. "Everyone still delights in the word and thoughts of the golden orbs, but do you know anyone who eats them?"
Millions used to. Daily. For a generation of Baby Boomers, Twinkies were as much a lunch-box necessity as a thermos filled with Kool-Aid, a bag of Fritos and a bologna sandwich between two slices of sister brand Wonder Bread.
"What Hostess makes were the major food groups that constituted lunch for millions of kids," says Robert Thompson, professor of pop culture at Syracuse University.
That's probably not what James Alexander Dewar, a baker at Continental Baking Co., had in mind back in 1930, when he created the cream-filled snack that he dubbed Twinkie — supposedly after the "Twinkle Toe Shoes" that were sold at the time.
Never mind that Twinkies were originally made with banana cream. During World War II, bananas were rationed, so the company had to quickly come up with a substitute. The vanilla cream it used, instead, became so popular, that banana flavor never returned.
By the 1950s, Twinkies became a national staple as the brand became a sponsor of the hit Howdy Doody television show.
"The fundamental roots of Baby Boomers were this: We are what we eat. And we ate a lot of Twinkies and Wonder Bread," Thompson says.
But Baby Boomers stopped right there. Concerned about unpronounceable ingredients and preservatives in Twinkies, they didn't pass them along to their kids.
The way registered dietitian Jo Ann Hattner figures it, whoever buys the Twinkie brand will likely try to make it more nutritionally acceptable. She envisions some savvy marketer changing the source of the sugar or lowering the saturated fat or making the filling organic.
"Call it Twinkie 2.0," she smirks.
But the nutrition instructor at Stanford University says that's silly. "To me, they're iconic," Hattner says. "I don't know how you'd change it into a healthful state without it losing its identity."
Above all, says Thompson, that is what's led to the slow, painful death of the Twinkie.
Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky, Twinkie, Twinkie little star, how we wonder what you are.

Should be careful on purchase of drones
Thanks for publishing "Alameda County puts the brakes on purchasing drone," by Angela Woodall. The use of drones in American skies is alarming. Sheriff Greg Ahern's stealthy attempt to acquire a drone undercuts the credibility of his promises about how such technology would be used.
Documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation reveal that military drones, including the Reaper and Predator drones used in Afghanistan and Iraq, are already flying over the U.S.
All drones are subject to numerous hazards, including software and mechanical failures that can result in catastrophic crashes or interference with other air traffic.
In addition, drones could conduct unlawful surveillance on citizens at home or other private settings by intercepting cellphone calls, texts and GPS locations or by using cameras with facial recognition technology and which can see through walls.
It's unlikely that FAA drone guidelines will safeguard privacy or even effectively address many of the hazards inherent in drone technology.
Safety and privacy concerns should be addressed before drones are purchased by Alameda County, if indeed they are ever purchased.

Voting system not what it should be
Three new Oakland City Council members are soon to be sworn in; however, two of the three failed to get the required majority — 50 percent plus one vote.
Dan Kalb (one of seven candidates) mustered only 12,293 votes out of the 28,562 ballots cast for the District 1 Council seat, resulting in a mere 43 percent.
Lynette Gibson-Mchelhaney, (with six District 3 candidates) surprisingly leapt ahead of Sean Sullivan by gaining an astounding 9.4 percentage points in the sixth round of counting. However, with her total vote count at 9,397 out of 21,991, she received only 42.7 percent of the total votes cast.
On the other hand, At-Large Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan easily beat the majority requirement with a very respectful 55.5 percent. She received 71,038 votes out of the 128,097 cast for that seat.
Clearly, Oakland's ranked-choice voting leaves a lot to be desired.

Leave the Bible out of oath ceremony
When President Barack Obama is inaugurated Jan. 20, it's virtually certain that he will begin to dishonor the Constitution he is solemnly swearing to uphold within the first few minutes of his second term.
Article VI unequivocally states that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
The presidential oath of office is explicitly spelled out in Article II, Section 1, and ends, "and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." The Framers deliberately omitted any religious requirements.
The use of a Bible in inaugurations is clearly unconstitutional. He is not swearing to uphold any religious scriptures. Placing his hand on a copy of the Constitution would be more appropriate.
Over the years, Christian zealots have intruded Bibles and God oaths into what should be a purely secular ceremony. They don't belong there. Obama will kowtow to religious traditions because he lacks the courage to challenge these long-standing unconstitutional practices.

Senseless killing of lion cubs
I was deeply disturbed, angry and ashamed to be a part of the human race after reading about the senseless killing of two 9-month-old mountain lion cubs in Half Moon Bay.
They were babies; they could have and should have been protected and saved. There are a number of knowledgeable and qualified people around capable of handling the situation properly.
I am appalled the California Department of Fish and Game people are not on that list. The warden who made this decision needs to have his ability to make decisions permanently revoked.
It doesn't matter how much technology we have or how advanced we think we are, the cruel way we treat one another and the reckless devastation we've inflicted on every other living thing on the planet seems to indicate we still are, and probably always will be, barbarians.

Pensions should be same as rest of us
I support firefighters and police compensation packages for any job-related disabilities and loss of life.
On the other hand, they should not be different from me in retirement benefits. I am not retiring at 50 (or 53) after 30 years work with 90 percent of my salary.
I am trying to spend less and save more to balance my retirement. I expect the same from state or government pensioners. There are more than enough qualified candidates who will accept lower-paid firefighter/police job and benefit packages.

I've been meaning to post for weeks and always found something else to do with my District 3 work. Today, I have no choice.
My good friend, Jim Butler of Clearfield, passed away earlier today, July 6, in Clearfield following complications from surgery. Jim was in his mid-60s.
This is a crushing loss to Pennsylvania scholastic wrestling: Jim had carved out his niche as one of the leading experts on statewide wrestling in the mid-1970s and carried through to the present. His columns on wrestling the Clearfield Progress were among the most insightful in the commonwealth.
In addition, Jim was a huge dirt track racing fan and even developed some small businesses that revolved around racing.
But mostly, he was a friend who, along with former Clearfield Progress sports editor Fred Kavelak and for Progress sports writer Frank Roessner, had an enormous impact on my early career. His unexpected passing is hurtful.
I apologize for some of the sketchy details; I'll update when I receive more information.
But the Pennsylvania wrestling community has lost a true friend. And so have I.
