Poliovirus Vaccine Live Oral, OPV
Poliovirus Vaccine Live Oral, OPV oral solution
What is poliovirus vaccine live oral?
POLIOVIRUS VACCINE LIVE ORAL, OPV (Orimune®) is a liquid vaccine that is taken by mouth to helps prevent polio infection. Natural infection with the poliovirus causes paralyzing or crippling neuromuscular (muscle and nerve-related) damage. Orimune® is given to infants and children as part of their childhood vaccine schedules if they cannot receive the injectable form of the poliovirus vaccine called IPV. As an alternative to IPV, Orimune® is given between 12—18 months of age and then a "booster" dose is given between 4—6 years of age. Orimune® may be given to adults or adolescents not been previously vaccinated if there is a need for the person to travel to an area of the world where there is a risk of being infected with polio. Generic oral poliovirus vaccine is not available.
What should my health care professional know before I take poliovirus vaccine live oral?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
an immune deficiency (natural or due to cancer chemotherapy, radiation, or steroid therapy)
fever or infection
having intramuscular injections
infection with the HIV virus, or have AIDS
recent diarrhea or vomiting
an unusual or allergic reaction to vaccines, neomycin, streptomycin, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant
How should I take this medicine?
Poliovirus vaccine live oral (Orimune®) is given by a health-care professional. The solution may be taken directly; mixed in water, simple syrup, or milk; or given on bread, a sugar cube, or cake. This vaccine must never be given by injection, it is for use by mouth only.
The use of this vaccine must be officially recorded. Federal law requires that the manufacturer's name and lot number; name, address, and phone number of the person giving the vaccine; and the date of administration be recorded in the patient's permanent medical record.
Your health care professional will give you an informational paper on the oral poliovirus vaccine at the time of the vaccination. Be sure to read this information.
What if I miss a dose?
Remember to keep appointments for follow-up doses for your infant or child. Notify your health care professional if you are unable to keep an appointment, or miss a scheduled dose. Try to reschedule the appointment as soon as you can.
What drug(s) may interact with poliovirus vaccine live oral?
cholera vaccine
other medicines that suppress your immune function
plague vaccine
typhoid vaccine
Tell your doctor or pharmacist: about all other medicines you are taking, including non-prescription medicines; if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol; if you smoke; or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
Oral poliovirus vaccine does not interfere with some of the other vaccines that are commonly given to children, such as oral rotavirus vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP), Hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), and varicella vaccines. In some cases more than one type of vaccine can be given to your child at the same time. Ask your health care provider if you have questions regarding the administration of more than one vaccine to your child.
What should I watch for while taking poliovirus vaccine live oral?
Report any side effects to your doctor that do not go away within 3 days. Very rarely, this vaccine may cause polio infection in some people. Ask your prescriber about the risks of receving OPV vaccine.
There is a very small risk of passing the poliovirus to someone else after you have received this vaccine. Ask your doctor about immunization for other family members.
After you have a dose of poliovirus vaccine you can shed the virus in your feces (stool) or from your mouth. Avoid persons that have not had poliovirus vaccine, those with a weakened immune system, and pregnant women. Make sure you wash your hands well after going to the bathroom, or after changing a diaper for an infant that has received the vaccine.
Do not have any injections into your muscles for at least 30 days before or after you have the oral poliovirus vaccine.
What side effects may I notice from taking poliovirus vaccine live oral?
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:
difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, wheezing, or coughing
changes in stools, like diarrhea (3 or more stools in a day)
decreased activity
decreased appetite- not wanting to breast-feed or take a bottle
extreme irritability
seizures (convulsions or strange movements of the arms or legs)
severe rash, itching (hives)
swelling of the eyes or face
unusual or increased crying, or sudden change in alertness
fever over 102 degrees F
numbness in the arms or legs
unusual weakness
Call your health care provider if any of these symptoms occur within 4 weeks of vaccination of your infant.
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
mild fever, below 102 degrees F
Where can I keep my medicine?
Each dose of this poliovirus vaccine will be administered in the clinic or office of a health care professional. You will not be given vaccine doses to store at home.

Elderly New Jersey couple faces fine over bird feeder | Fox News
RAMSEY, N.J. – A New Jersey couple is facing a fine after neighbors complained that their bird feeder is attracting too many animals.
Alfred and Annette Rockefeller are scheduled to appear in court in Ramsey on Tuesday. They could be fined $250 to $500 for violating an ordinance that prohibits feeding wildlife.
Alfred Rockefeller is disabled. The 77-year-old says feeding birds is one of his joys.
Town environmental specialist Leo Egan tells The Record newspaper the wire wreath-style feeder filled with peanuts is drawing ducks, deer, geese, squirrels, chipmunks and groundhogs to the neighborhood. The animals are damaging neighbors' gardens.

"Michael, I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be."
– Peter Gibbons, Office Space
I'm usually one of those annoying types that enjoys bragging about never getting sick to perpetually sniffly coworkers. As you would expect, I actually do catch a bug on rare occasions. I'm usually good for one stop-you-in-your-tracks illness a year. Invariably it happens right over the top of a major holiday. I don't really know why, perhaps it's the colder weather. But if I haven't come down with something by New Year's Day, the smart money says that I'm in the clear until Halloween.
As I write this, I'm wrapping up day six of a yet-unfinished bout with a lovely little case of bronchitis, and, added at the very last minute, special guest pink eye. So if the deep congested coughs weren't off-putting enough, my zombie eye should do the trick. So that means this year's ill-iday was Thanksgiving. It seems like such a waste, doesn't it? The best food day of the year, and you're stuck eating chicken noodle soup, crashed out on the couch watching the peerlessly poor programming that is holiday television. (Is it just me, or does TV just suck like a Dyson vacuum these days? I didn't any loss of suction on the tube this whole week.)
But then it occurred to me that actually being sick on a holiday is the ultimate in efficiency from a work perspective. You kill two birds with one stone; a sick day and a holiday day, buy one, get one free! And you don't get crap about being gone for being sick, because everybody else was gone for the holiday. You didn't miss anything, and there will be no extra catch up work or email to return. And no accusations about faking it to go golfing or fishing. (Is there anything more irritating than that? It makes you want to want to sneeze on their keyboard and wipe your clammy, sickly hands on their mouse.)
But wait yet it gets better. Sometimes holiday festivities are great fun and you look forward to them. More often though, its the same drive to the same place to eat the same food and talk about the same things with the same people as you have for years. While you don't probably loathe the experience, the thought probably crosses your time that you'd much rather play computer games in your underwear all day instead. Well, if you're sick, you get to live that dream and with everyone's blessing. They usual suspects don't want to catch whatever nasty thing is causing your hacking cough and running nose. Everybody's happy! (And you'll probably find you cough a lot less while engrossed in a good game, than you would listening to the same family argument.) And triple word score if you get a doggie bag!
Ever notice that after a festive holiday you come back to work more worn out than when you left? You won't have that problem if you spend 18 hours of the day in the dark green comatose land of Nyquil. In spite of the midnight coughing fits and afternoon headaches, I've never been more relaxed and more rested than I have been this week.
This all brings to mind a book I read (and thoroughly enjoyed) earlier this year, How to Be Idle: A Loafer's Manifesto. To sum it up in a few words, the book is advocates that everyone increase his or her indulgence in rest and relaxation, noting the decided lack of down time or personal time in modern western society. And it does this with a humorous tongue-in-cheek style. And as luck would have it, this book has a chapter on illness. In it, author Tom Hodgkinson, relates how illness gives one the opportunity to take a break, rest up and enjoy life. But as society evolves, this opportunity is being taken away by the abundance of convenient symptom-suppressing pills and the expectation that we'll use them and get right back to work. Being sick on a holiday, however, completely removes the pressure to do anything productive. (Without digging too deep into the book, I suspect that readers of my blog will find it to be a great, entertaining read.)
I'm not naive enough to think that this book, or my mention of it will be enough to reverse the giant cogs of progress. People will get colds, they will pop some pills, and they will sniffle through their day in the office under the approving eye of management. All I'm saying is that you might consider hanging out in the doctors office the a day or two before a public holiday if you really want to have a good holiday. On second thought, just fake it, people will probably assume you are anyway!

234 West 42nd Street New York, NY 10036
Last Tuesday my family and I experienced the Ride NYC and it was a blast! As a native New Yorker I didn't know what to expect here that would be any different from any other tour, but I was wrong. The Ride NYC is an experience that both locals and tourists can enjoy.
This custom-made bus allows the riders to become "the audience" in an entertainment event that uses the city as its stage. Every seat on this bus is a "good" seat as you are seated stadium style. Two tour guides/entertainers narrate and set the scene for you.
Our Ride was hosted by Scott and Jackie. The had the crowd involved and laughing all along the way. Not only did I learn some surprising facts about the city I love, but we were also surprised by several street performers.
During the ride we witness seemingly normal individuals that break out into song or dance, they are wearing body mics and can interact with the bus. This rapper was one of my favorites. The reaction of people on the street is priceless. (Or if they are true New Yorker they just keep walking! LOL!)
The top of the bus is also encased in glass and let's riders have a fantastic view from down below! You never know what's going to happen on The Ride. It's performance after performance. We were also told that they are putting a special holiday Ride together. Something you might want to consider for your holiday plans!
This performance blew me away. The artistry of the dancer and the architecture of Columbus Circle were the perfect combination of beauty and entertainment. The Ride last 70 minutes and the time just flew. I was there was an encore! My son told me that he could have stayed on the bus forever.
I highly recommend the Ride NYC! The Ride is not recommended for children under 6, families are welcome to join the fun right here in Times Square.

Stroudsburg Area School District's suggestion to conduct background checks for school board members could open Pandora's Box. Not just for what such checks might find. But for how they would work.
Stroudsburg Area School District's suggestion to conduct background checks for school board members could open Pandora's Box. Not just for what such checks might find. But for how they would work.
Background checks are nothing new in schools. But they're new to school boards, whose members don't come into routine contact with students. A Pennsylvania School Boards Association spokesman said he was unaware of any district in Pennsylvania imposing the requirement.
Leaving aside the motivation for implementing one, just think about the practical considerations.
Who would sit in judgment, defining "pass" or "fail"? Current board members? The police? When would background checks occur, when someone announces a plan to run for school board, after they're elected, or right before they're sworn in?
Then there's the question of the parameters. The PSBA spokesman noted that should a school board require background checks for members, a ban could affect only potential board members who had committed "crimen falsi" offenses. These are crimes of misrepresentation such as forgery, false declarations, making a false oath or perjury.
Of course, child abuse offenses speak for themselves as disqualifiers, but what about people whose background check showed they failed to pay their taxes? That they have outstanding parking tickets? Would the check go back 10 years? 20 years? A lifetime? How about someone who got arrested at age 20 for drinking at a college party, but has since led an exemplary life? How many candidates would run knowing that a background check could turn up any number of things that wouldn't legally bar them from the job, but would expose past failures?
Altogether this measure, currently tabled, sounds like not only a problematic but an unnecessary background check, considering school board members' duties don't bring them in regular, close contact with students. People who run for these positions are already volunteering for an important, complicated, yet thankless job. It makes no sense to make the process even harder.

Some Indiana residents want reality starlet Kendra Wilkinson to work the poll – the voting poll!
According to The Examiner, there is a grassroots movement building that is urging the "Kendra" and former "Girls Next Door" star to run for Evan Bayh's Indiana Senate seat. The Senator has announced he won't seek reelection in the 2010 midterm elections.
Multiple Indianapolis radio stations asked their listeners to chime in with their replacement pick for Bayh, and numerous listeners called in to say they want Kendra on the ballot.
But the reality star, who resides in Indiana with husband and Indianapolis Colts star Hank Baskett, is not eligible to run just yet. The 24-year-old is six years shy of the age requirement to serve as a U.S. Senator.
She might be too young, but Kendra told PopEater.com that she already has some ideas about how to change the government.
"Oh yeah. I would change a lot in this world, let me tell you that," she reportedly told PopEater while laughing.
Before making a bid for the Senate, Kendra will be back for a second season of her reality show – E! has yet to announce a premiere date for "Kendra" Season 2.

I would like to be able to see the "list" of vendors in map form. So i can see how far away places will be.
Instead of showing the photos with the location. actually show a map with toggles of where all the places are. and you can click on the toggle and see what the place is.
I live close to NYC but don't want to go near NYC so seeing it on a map i would be able to over look that. If you ever used 'seamless' you know what I mean.
Hi and thank you so much for your idea!
We will definitely take this into consideration. We're always trying to improve the Wedding Website experience for couples so we welcome all of your great ideas.
We will keep this forum updated as we make improvements!
Enjoy your planning!

For over an year I have otherwise been pretty active on MathOverflow but for this question I would like to remain anonymous.
I would be starting my grad school in Fall 2011 in the US while in the 25th year of my life. I will be joining a grad school which is ranked by most lists within their top 10.
I have been working and hope to continue to work in areas in theoretical physics which have a strong interface with mathematics, especially geometry.
I understand that most people start their PhD at the age of 22 (or even below!).
I would like to know how does it affect my career, now that I will be getting my PhD around the age of 30. I am very worried and extremely depressed that this is possibly too late to start a PhD. I guess most scientists become faculty by the age of 30 when I would be getting my PhD!
I would be happy to get any feedback/advice about starting PhD so late in life.
- Also can one get a PhD in theoretical physics/mathematics in less than 5 years?
- I have made this question community wiki.

Police release names of Fayetteville shooting victims
2 shot on Dickson Street following fight
Two men have been released from a Fayetteville hospital after being treated for non-life-threatening gunshot injuries suffered early Saturday morning.
Authorities said Dominique Anderson, 19, was shot in the back, while Dammion Ulrich, 21, was shot in the shoulder.
Fayetteville police said the two men were shot in the parking lot of the Garden Room at 215 Dickson St. just before 2 a.m.
Officers responded to a call about gunshots fired following a "large dispute" involving a group of men. Police said while they were responding to the call, two people arrived at Washington Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Police said an investigation is ongoing, although no suspects have been named.
Several people who live in the neighborhood said they were surprised to hear about a shooting so close to their homes.
"We've never heard of anything like this before," said Dan Hoffman. "To me, it's the safest place we've ever lived. It's very shocking."
Hoffman and his wife live just down the street from where the shooting took place. They said they won't let what happened change their minds about the neighborhood.
"I think this is a one-time situation," said Hoffman. "I think this is a great area and we're going to be living here for a very long time."
A student from the University of Arkansas said she hadn't even heard about the early-morning shooting.
"Nobody really heard about it, there was nothing on Facebook," said Sara Dutrisac. "When something big happens, it'll pop up on Facebook."
Several hundred people attended an outdoor fundraising event just down the street from where the shooting happened.
Organizers of the event said they were not concerned about any violence happening at the event.
"We live in such a safe city," said Adrienne Shaunfield, an organizer for the event. "I'm not worried about it, I think it was just a freak occurrence."
Four Fayetteville officers were present at the event Saturday night.

Use of force and the violent student
By Gary T. Klugiewicz
Director of Training, PoliceOne Training Network
This paper will focus on the Use of Force and the Violent Student. It will not attempt to answer all questions surrounding violence in our schools. Rather it will pose questions about how we need to plan for, respond to, and recover from violence when it impacts our schools. Probably even more importantly, it will expose the readers to networking opportunities to provide long term resources for the future. For this reason, several articles and other material will be attached to this document that will direct the readers to law enforcement websites that may provide additional resources. Please review this attached material and check out these websites at your leisure.
Additionally, I would like to expand the scope of the paper to include all sorts of violence directed towards our school staff and students, on and off the school grounds. We need to expand our defensive thinking into a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan. We need to think out of the box in terms of both the threats we are facing in and about our schools, the nature of the threats, and who is posing these threats to our staff and students.
For instance, let's look at the recent national headlines. Yes, there are the unfortunately "normal" school shooters as recently took place in Tacoma, Washington where one student brought a gun into a school and killed a fellow student. But, what about last week's Houston, Texas area incident where a mentally ill person with a gun stalked a school bus filled with girl basketball players after a basket ball game? Luckily, when the school bus driver threw her radio microphone at the assailant, she apparently distracted him because he didn't open fire. She was able to drive away and the assailant was apprehended. We need to prepare for these types of incidents on and off the school grounds.
We need to plan for all kinds of violence being directed at our students and staff. Not all incidents of violence that occur on buses are intentional. In Wisconsin, over the last several years, we have had a number of accidents involving buses that have resulted in injuries and deaths. These tragic incidents also need to be considered in our planning.
The bottom line is that we have to deal with the violence directed towards our school staff and students, inside and outside the schools, whether it is intentional or unintentional. We need to develop a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan for responding to violence. This plan must include an understanding of our students, the threats, and what resources we have available to respond to these threats.
Since this paper will focus primarily on the use of force, there are a couple of basic truths that will need to be defined. Number One is "the only fight you can't lose is the one that you don't have." We want to avoid physical confrontation at all costs, which is why we place so much emphasis on our verbal skills and our ability to diffuse and/or avoid the confrontation. There is no guarantee that we will be able to "win" a rapid unfolding, violent, and dangerous encounter that oftentimes involves weapons. On the other hand, we must remember another important basic truth. Basic truth Number Two is that we need to practice "WHEN/THAN Think." This term, developed by Bob "Coach" Lindsey, a retired colonel with the Jefferson Parish, LA Sheriff's Office, explains that we need to think in terms of "when" something is going to happen, not "If." When one student refuses to stop physically bullying another student , when the fight breaks out between students, when a student in kidnapped, or when a mentally ill person starts shooting people in our schools, how are we going to respond. These events will continue to happen. Preplanning, efficient response, communications, and coordination are the keys.
The first issue that will be addressed is planning. Before a plan can be developed and implemented, it is important to research the scope of problem.
The educational system, as it exists, is an interesting and frankly unique phenomenon. Dr. Bill Lewinski, a world-famous law enforcement psychologist and director of the Force Science Research Center (www.forcescience.org) probably says its best. "It is rare in our culture to find an organization that is compelled to deal with so many different levels of potential violence. The school system is the prime agent of socialization in this country. It is the only social institution that must deal with all people regardless of their abilities, inabilities, social or mental health status. As such it finds that it must deal with all levels of violence that are brought to its doors by both students and employees."
You will notice that as Dr. Lewinski talks about the "the violence brought to our doors," he references both students and employees.
See attached Police Marksman Magazine "The Lethal Employee" Article – Attachment One.
We need to start expanding our potential threat categories to include not only students, but employees, parents, visitors, the violently mentally ill, and the truly criminal elements of our society.
Dr. Lewinski's explanation of some of the possible threat categories, introduces what is referred to as the Defensive Tactics (D.T.) Training Variables to the crisis response planning process. Over time, organizations that I have been associated with have developed defensive tactics programs for a wide range of police, corrections, military, mental health, hospital, and school environments. These variables have to be considered before formalizing a crisis response strategy.
The D.T. Training Variables:
- 1. Threat – Who is going to have to be physically controlled? In the case of the school environment, this will usually be a student but it could be an employee or outsider.
2. Personnel – Who is going to respond to help control the situation? This will usually be teachers and support personnel, school security staff, School Resource Officers, other first responding police officers, or even SWAT Teams. Realize that even students can attempt to control the situation.
3. Occupation – How is the responding person going to respond? Very different responses are expected from a teacher, a police officer, a SWAT Team, etc.
4. Environment – Where is the event taking place? Different responses are needed for different locations depending if the incident takes place in a small office, a classroom, the gym, a playground, or on a bus.
5. Rules of Engagement – How are the personnel responding trained to respond? You will get very different responses depending if the incident is handled by school staff, by the police, or by a SWAT Team. This needs to be considered when planning for and responding to a crisis situation. A well thought out preplanned response is best.
6. Number of Support Staff Available – How many emergency response personnel can you get to the scene and how fast? The ability to get a significant number of trained personnel to the site of the emergency quickly can often diffuse the situation without having to resort to the use of physical force. However, if enough trained staff members are on the scene and physical force is required, less intrusive physical intervention is usually possible.
7. Weapons/Control Tools Available – What weapons/control tools are available/authorized for use? Most institutional environments, whether it is a correctional institution, treatment center, or school, don't usually have this equipment immediately readily available at the site of the emergency. This equipment is usually brought in by special personnel. In schools, this may be the School Resource Officer. Remember that the ability to avoid a crisis situation in the first place, diffuse it if possible, or physically control it with team tactics prior to the arrival of this equipment, often reduces the need to utilize these more intrusive control measures.
8. Who Evaluates Your Performance by What Standard? – Although this occurs after the incident is resolved, it is a significant element of your force response planning. The actions of a student, a teacher, security personnel, and a police officer will be judged by very different standards based on their training and experience.
Once you have evaluated these Defensive Tactics Variables, there are some basic defensive tactics principles that apply universally to responding to disturbances. We will examine the First Responder Philosophy and the Disturbance Resolutions Model in developing a strategy for responding to use of force situation. This material is part of the State of Wisconsin police and correctional training programs. It has been modified for use in hospitals, juvenile treatments centers, and schools. More information including training manuals and study guides can be found at www.wilenet.org .
See attached ACMi® DAAT Manual – Attachment Two for the complete manual
Responding to emergency situations should be dealt with in any school's Emergency Preparedness Planning. These emergencies include disturbance emergencies, medical emergencies, fire emergencies, and miscellaneous emergencies. We need to develop procedures for dealing with all of them. We respond to emergencies as First Responders who call in specialized response teams such as the Police and Fire Departments as needed. But, until these professional emergency response personnel arrive on the scene, we are it – we are the First Responders. We need to plan for what and how are we going to deal with the emergency until help arrives.
Disturbance emergencies are one of the most complicated because they can combine several of the emergencies as in the example of a fight between students creating not only a disturbance but a medical emergency. It could get even more complicated when dealing with a bombing that could result in a disturbance leading to a fire, leading to injuries, and power outages. We need to develop a First Responder Philosophy to guide our response. See chart below.
This time-tested emergency response procedure is designed for institutional environments, such as schools, hospital, and other large public complexes. The first staff member "ARRIVES" on the scene, "ASSESSES" what type of emergency is apparently taking place and then immediately gives an "ALARM" to notify others of the problem and get other staff members coming. Failure to communicate a problem to other staff as well as police and fire personnel is one of the greatest failures and dangers in emergency response because it slows down assistance arriving at the scene.
Once the alarm is given by whatever means is available (i.e., voice, phone, panic alarm, etc.) then the first responder should "EVALUATE" to see if there are any hidden dangers/threats or if this emergency is a "set up" to draw staff away from some other problem. Things aren't always what they seem. Was the medical emergency caused by a fight or is this argument designed to distract me from some other more serious problem? This assessment time allows time to decide whether to "ENTER" the scene of the emergency or, if you are already in it, to decide to disengage. Staff must realize that to jump into a fight between two full size, violently fighting students might seem the proper thing to do, but it can often lead to injury to you (creating another medical emergency) and not stop the fight. Proper staff action is a balance of safety and efficiency. Don't sacrifice the safety of you or your students for efficiency. Sometimes you can only be a good witness, until more staff or the police arrive on the scene.
After the staff member(s) decide to enter, they must attempt to "STABILIZE" the scene. This stabilization includes stabilizing the subject(s) involved and the scene itself. This is a crucial mistake often made by well meaning staff who fail to understand that the people surrounding a fight can be more dangerous than the people fighting. Both the subject(s) and the scene must be stabilized in order to make the disturbance scene secure.
Once the subject and the scene are stabilized, the First Responder Philosophy moves to "INITIAL MEDICAL ASSESSMENT" that directs how first aid should be given and whether Emergency Medical Services (EMS) should be called to the scene. Here again, a caution: don't begin providing first aid to a person at the scene until it is safe to do so. Remember, the subject(s) and the scene must be stabilized before moving to this step. Don't be giving first aid while the fight is still on. This doesn't mean that EMS can't be called once you have determined that professional medical response is going to be needed. The "LONG TERM MONITORING" refers to what kind of long term care is needed for the subject that you are dealing with in terms of medical transport, psychiatric care, police custody, etc. This may also include the decision that school security concerns may require alternative educational services for the student.
"COMMUNICATION" is a major component of emergency response and includes communicating with the people involved, other persons present, other staff members, the schools, control center, responding staff, police and fire personnel, and your supervisors during and after the emergency.
"DOCUMENTATION / DEBRIEFING" refers to incident documentation and debriefing, which should follow every emergency response. It is recommended that the First Responder Philosophy be used as a template for both report writing and incident debriefing (review). Remember that in our society liability is a major concern, both criminally and civilly. Documentation of your emergency response is extremely important to your employer and to you, as an individual. Debriefing is equally important to "improve your and your school's performance in the future.
Since disturbance emergencies provide special safety and legal concerns, they are dealt with according to a special Disturbance Resolution Model. This model was initially developed as part of the Calibre Press "Street Survival Seminar" and later revised by the State of Wisconsin Law Enforcement Standards Board. See Disturbance Resolution Model below.
The important learning point to take away from this model is that a disturbance is made up of a beginning (Approach Considerations), a middle (Intervention Options), and an end (Follow Through Considerations)—your decision making, how you tactically deploy, and how your tactical evaluation of the threat you are facing will impact your physical and legal safety. Whether you intervene and how you intervene will be dependent on your role, training, and experience. Your follow through after the incident will be very important in terms of showing "due care" for the persons involved. Don't relax too early and end up getting injured or in legal difficultly because you didn't properly provide for a person in your care.

School staff responding to disturbances will really have only two force responses readily available to them—their verbal skills and what we refer to as Empty Hand Control. The control tools and weapons will usually be brought to the scene by the School Resource Officers, the first responding police officers, or later by tactical teams.
For the purpose of our discussion, we are going to discuss these first two intervention options that are normally available to school staff in responding to disturbance emergencies. We will discuss the verbal skills that we refer to as Tactical Communication and some less intrusive physical interventions tactics that we refer to as the STAR Tactic. The police responses used by responding police and tactical teams will be referenced in several attached articles.
Tactical Communications
Defensive Tactics have been described as a system of verbalization skills coupled with physical skills. The use of these verbal skills to prevent a physical confrontation from occurring, to de-escalate a physical altercation, or to calm a scene after an incident help to keep our school safe and justify any force response required.
The verbalization skills training program that I recommend is the Tactical Communication program that was developed by George J. Thompson, Ph.D. of the Verbal Judo Institute. His program was initially developed for training police officers but has been expanded over the years to instruct correctional, military, security, and treatment personnel, as well as teachers. What makes his program unique is the manner in which it is taught. Before you are instructed in the basic tactics, time is spent developing important concepts like professionalism and the need for ethical interventions in dealing with your fellow staff members. Time is spent in what is referred to as Tactical Communication Theory that instructs participants in how to communicate better. Participants are trained how to listen better through the use of the L.E.A.P.S Concept that is described below.
"Active Listening" Concept -- the L.E.A.P.S. Acronym
(1). Listen.
(2). Empathize.
(3). Ask.
(4). Paraphrase.
(5). Summarize.
Before advancing to the actual verbal tactics, time is spent explaining the time that words alone fail and knowing when it is time to move on. Although most situations can be resolved using verbal tactics, there are always the exceptions. When the S.A.F.E.R. Concept is violated, action needs to be taken. But, this action doesn't always entail moving in, which often escalates the situation. Other action may be disengaging from the scene or locking down an area. The S.A.F.E.R Concept is described below.
S.A.F.E.R. Concept – Moving beyond words: The five conditions when words fail:
(1). Security.
(2). Attack.
(3). Flight.
(4). Excessive Repetition.
(5). Revised Priorities.
Armed with a new sense of Professionalism, Tactical Communication Theory, and the S.A.F.E.R. Concept, the participant is ready to begin training in how to make the best possible initial contacts. This Tactical 8-Step Pattern will provide the participants with an efficient communication tool for making initial contacts with all the people that they come in contact.
The Tactical 8-Step Pattern -- a generic plan of action for how to make "official" contact with any subject.
(1). Appropriate Greeting.
(2). Identify yourself / Department or School Function
(3). Explain reason for the contact.
(4). Any justifiable reason for ...
(5). Ask for identification.
(6). Request additional information.
(7). Decision stage.
(8). Appropriate close.
Since not all persons that you come in contact with in your official capacity will cooperate with what you ask them to do, the "Tactical 5-Step Pattern was developed. When you encounter verbal resistance, you immediately transition into the Tactical 5-Step Pattern. Again, most people will eventually go with the program. If not, you have just established a S.A.F.E.R Violation through Excessive Repetition that justifies taking action. The Tactical 5-Step Pattern is described below.
The Tactical 5-Step Pattern -- a generic plan of action for how to deal with initial resistance from the "difficult" people we are required to deal with.
(1). Ask.
(2). Set context.
(3). Present options.
(4). Confirm non-compliance.
(5). Act ----- disengage and/or escalate.
This Tactical Communication training has proven extremely successful in raising staff member's professionalism and communication skills. This is turn has lead to a safer institutional environment, fewer incidents, and fewer complaints.

Physical Intervention
Physical intervention should be viewed as a last resort, especially in the school environment. However, physical intervention may be necessary due to school policy or personal safety concerns. Individual interventions are always dangerous. Team tactics are the best way to stabilize potentially violent, out-of-control individuals. Should physical intervention become necessary, The STAR Tactic has proven very effective in physically restraining individuals safely while preventing injuries to staff. The Star Tactic was initially developed for the correctional environment but was quickly modified for use in mental health, treatment, and the hospital setting. It is easy to learn and effective when dealing with subjects who may be larger that the individual staff members who respond to the incident.
The tactic is named the STAR Tactic because five staff members surround the subject who needs to be physically stabilized like the 5 points of a star. Although this does require 5 staff members, it is much less intrusive that other physical intervention tactics because the 5 staff members are able to control the subjects arms, legs, and head while lowering the subject to the ground. This prevents the subject from striking out at the staff members while allowing the staff members to slowly lower the subject to the ground. See chart below.
There exists a tactic for five (5) staff members to stabilize a standing subject and actually taking him/her up initially instead of down to the ground. This tactic is referred to as the Star Tactic. It consists of first stabilizing the arms, then the feet, and finally the head. Once Staff Safety Considerations necessitate immediate physical intervention or verbal negotiations have proven ineffective and it is time to "Confirmed Non-compliance", The lead staff member, Number 5, orders the subject to follow some verbal order. The order is repeated again with a final exclamation of "NOW." On the command, "NOW", the lead staff member immediately verbalizes, "SECURE" and staff member Number 1 & 2 secure the arms close to the subject's armpits. The lead staff member then verbalizes, "LEVITATE" and staff member Number 3 & 4 secures the legs and lifts them up so that the subject's body is parallel to the ground. The lead officer then verbalizes, "LOWER" after s/he moves in from the front to stabilize the subject's head using a frontal application of "Secure the Head" Technique. The staff members in unison slowly lower the subject to the ground. Once on the ground, the lead officer verbalizes, "STABILIZE" and the subject is stabilized on the ground. The lead staff member then begins "Monitoring/Debriefing Procedures. For more information about the STAR Tactic, see the attached article
See attached ASLET TRAINER Magazine "STAR TACTIC" Article - Attachment Six
Police Response and Tactical Response
Once the School Resource Officer(s), the first responding police officers, or the tactical team arrives on the scene, the incident becomes a police matter. Prior discussions with your local police agencies are important to clearly delineate school personnel and police roles, responsibility, and authority. It is normal procedure that once the police arrive on the scene that they take over control of the scene. The arrival of police officers on the scene usually also bring control devices and weapons, such as handcuffs, O.C. Aerosol Spray, Electronic Control Devices, Batons, and Firearms. Although the introduction of School Resource Officers now place police officers in the schools, normal police are only called for serious incidents that threaten staff and student safety. For more information, about police response to school violence, see attached articles or check out the www.policeone.com School Security Section that is currently featuring a special three-part series written by Chuck Remsberg on "4 D's" for Thwarting Terrorist Plans to Massacre our School Children. The Street Survival Newsline www.calibrepress.com also has numerous articles on the School Violence.
See attached POLICE MARKSMAN Magazine's School Shooting's Section – Attachment Seven
Recovery begins with the stabilization of the initial situation, the initial debriefing, critical incident debriefing, formal review, and additional training in lessons learned. Our discussions are going to focus on the importance of using the debriefing process to make use of the "Lessoned Learned" from each incident.
The importance of learning lessons from these critical incidents can't be stressed enough. For instance, Captain Gary McNamara of the Fairfield, Connecticut, Police Department was involved in such an incident. He explains that his department responded to multiple students being held hostage a local university by a former student claiming to have a bomb.
The incident took place on February 12, 2002. A student entered a classroom on the campus of Fairfield University located in Fairfield, Connecticut, claiming to have a bomb. He took 27 students and a professor hostage in a classroom. The incident lasted over seven hours, but eventually he did release the hostages over the time and then surrendered. It was later learned that he was a former student and he had been on campus for a month scoping out the location before he did it.
One of the other lessons learned was that after reviewing the calls not only to the university but also to our 911 center. Parents were obviously calling, and with approximately 5000 students enrolled at the campus both full and part time you can imagine the number of calls that were made. One of the things that he realized was that parents were taken by surprise that an incident could happen involving their child's school. It was almost like they were spectator parents© because they were only spectators at the incident. They had never thought an incident could happen at their child's school and never did anything to prepare for it. Captain McNamara created three steps that he now includes in training to parents in a training programs entitled "How not to be and why you shouldn't be a spectator parent©".
Captain MacNamara explains that parents must discuss with administrators the following three things you as parents need to know about the school your child attends:
1. Do they have plans and procedures in place to protect the children?
2. How are they going to notify parents of an incident?
3. How can parents be reunited with their children should an incident happen?
Knowing this prior to an incident will help you prepare should an incident happen and help avoid a rush to the scene by parents seeking information and reunification. You have to be involved so that you may be better prepared to handle an incident, or may even prevent one. On a related matter, Captain MacNamara is working with Enforcement Technology Group, Inc., an internationally known law enforcement electronic technology development corporation to develop a communication systems for notifying parents of crisis situations, providing situational updates, and providing logistical briefings on where and how to be reunited with their children.

Keeping our school safe from violence is the right thing to do. It is the moral thing to do. It is our legal responsibility to plan for and respond effectively to these violent encounters in and around our schools.
In conducting defensive tactics training, a riddle is often used that states, what is the only difference between a "tragedy" and "negligence?" The answer often surprises the student. The answer is repetition. The first time something bad happens – it can be considered a "tragedy" because how could anyone know that this terrible thing could happen. But once the event happens several times, the question becomes how could you have not know that the event was going to happen AGAIN. It now becomes "negligence." This is exactly what has happened in our schools. Plaintiff's attorneys love to say that you "knew" or "should have known" that this was going to happen again. We need to be ready for NEXT time. The difference between a tragedy and negligence is repetition.
Equally, as important, we must provide for the psychological and medical care of the students and staff involved while learning from these harsh lessons. We can then better educate our staff, our public safety personnel, our parents, and our students while "training" for the next event.
John Meyer, the president of Team One Network, an international tactical training company, explains the difference between Education and Training. He does so because most people don't get it. Here is his example. You as a parent have a twelve year old daughter in middle school. Do you want her to get Sex Education or Sex Training? After the strained laughter subsides, the students in his classes finally understand the real difference between education and training. Education involves the transfer of information while training involves physically practicing the skills. On a different topic, do we want to have our staff "educated" about the violence in our schools or do we want them "trained" how to deal with it. Our teachers and support staff, our police and other public safety personnel, our students and their parents need to be "trained" in how to respond to the violence in our schools. We need to be physically practicing our emergency response procedures. Only then will we be ready for next incident when we have to confront violence in our schools.

Shelfy's Easy Virtue strip
Last night at the NY screening of Easy Virtue – Jessica Biel propped up her Shelf Ass hard to promote her movie alongside Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. Hmmm…two for two this week on Colin Firth. Bonus.
It's actually not the worst she's looked. Much better showing here than at the Met Gala last week with Pipple as her date…which brings us back to that theory: he can't exist without being #1. Even his women must be dulled.
Shelfy can do the pink lipstick. And for once her hair has half a life. Not bad. But not good enough. Not enough to save Easy Virtue. Although she's trying. She's trying very hard.
During an interview the other day with MTV, while promoting the movie, Jessica was conveniently very obliging when discussing her boyfriend Justin Timberlake's performance this weekend on Saturday Night Live. In the past, she has made it clear she does not want to answer personal questions, does not want to have a conversation about the Pip. And still when presented with the opportunity, especially when she herself has something to sell, she gladly entertained the subject, and subsequently the entire article became about her man while the movie poster lurks in the background. Click here for more.
So can Justin turn Easy Virtue into a success story? Well, he wasn't able to save Powder Blue. Even several minutes worth of Shelfy naked and writhing couldn't save Powder Blue.
Have you seen the footage? She's surprisingly quite accomplished on a pole. I could only manage to get through half of it before losing interest. You go. CAUTION: NUDITY. Also: Hilarity. At point she dumps hot wax all over her bare breasts and weeps. My husband and I laughed out loud.
While Shelfy was "working" yesterday, Pippy was left to his own devices, walking around Tribeca with his hood pulled up followed by a range session. He met up with her after her carpet –as you can see, she's beaming!
Also attached – a photo taken from the Met Gala last week of Shelfy hanging out with all of Pip's friends. Like Madonna would pose with her otherwise.

Final 10-mile trek for space shuttle Atlantis
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Trailed by a solemn entourage of astronauts and shuttle workers, Atlantis began its slow journey to retirement Friday, the last space shuttle to fly in orbit and the last to leave NASA's nest.
Atlantis emerged just before dawn from the massive Vehicle Assembly Building and, riding atop 76-wheeled platform, began the 10-mile trek to the Kennedy Space Center's main tourist stop.
About 200 workers gathered in the early morning chill to see the space shuttle out in the open for the final time. They were joined by the four astronauts who closed out the shuttle program aboard Atlantis more than a year ago.
"My opinion is it looks better vertically," said Christopher Ferguson, the astronaut who commanded Atlantis' final flight in July 2011.
"It's a short trip. It's taking a day," he added. "It traveled a lot faster in its former life. But that's OK. ... it's got a new role."
Portions of Atlantis' final launch countdown boomed over loudspeakers as the shuttle paused in front of the Vehicle Assembly Building before hitting the road. Employees gathered in front of a long white banner that read, "We Made History," and below that the single word "Atlantis." They followed the spaceship for a block or two, then scattered as the shuttle transporter revved up to its maximum 2 mph. The convoy included a dozen trucks and vans, their lights blinking.
The fact that several hundred shuttle workers are about to lose their jobs, now that Atlantis is being turned over to the visitor complex, dampened the mood. Thousands already have been laid off.
"The untold story of the last couple years, the last missions that we flew, is the work force. I mean, the contractors knew that their numbers were going to go down ... and yet they kept doing their jobs," said NASA's Angie Brewer, who was once in charge of getting Atlantis ready for flight.
Some were too upset to even show up. Friday's event marked the true end to the 30-year shuttle program.
Seeing so many members of the shuttle team "helps soften the hard edge of seeing Atlantis go off to a museum," said astronaut Rex Walheim, part of the ship's final crew.
Atlantis made its way down broad industrial avenues, most of them off-limits to the public. So the trek did not replicate the narrow, stop-and-go turns Endeavour encountered last month while navigating downtown Los Angeles.
The mastermind behind Atlantis' slow march through Kennedy was sweating bullets nonetheless.
"It's only a priceless artifact driving 9.8 miles and it weighs 164,000 pounds," said Tim Macy, director of project development and construction for Kennedy's visitor complex operator, the company Delaware North.
"Other than that, no pressure at all," Macy said, laughing. "Only the eyes of the country and the world and everybody at NASA is watching us. But we don't feel any pressure." He paused. "Of course, we feel pressure!"
The relocation of Atlantis was plotted out for months, he noted last week, and experienced shuttle workers took part.
"It's not like it's Tim and his buddies out here loading this up," Macy said. "We're using the expertise of NASA."
The roundabout loop was to take the shuttle past Kennedy's headquarters building for a midmorning ceremony and then to a still-under-design industrial park for a few hours of public viewing in the afternoon. Tourist tickets ran as high as $90 apiece for a chance to see the spaceship up close.
Crews removed 120 light poles, 23 traffic signals and 56 traffic signs in order for Atlantis to squeeze by. One high-voltage power line also had to come down. Staff trimmed back some scrub pines, but there was none of the widespread tree-axing that occurred in Los Angeles.
Atlantis had to traverse just one noticeable incline, a highway ramp. The rest of the course is sea-level flat.
The grand entrance into Atlantis' new home, in the early evening, also was expected to be smooth going. One complete wall of the exhibit hall was kept off, carport-style, so the shuttle could roll right in. Construction will begin on the missing wall early next week.
Once safely inside, Atlantis will be plastic-wrapped for protection until the building is completed. The grand opening is set for July 2013.
Total exhibit cost: $100 million, a price borne by Delaware North.
Discovery, the oldest and most traveled space shuttle, was the first to leave the nest, zooming off to the Smithsonian in Virginia in April atop a modified jumbo jet. Endeavour, the baby of the fleet, headed west in September.
Here is a brief look at each of NASA's space shuttles in the order they flew, including the prototype Enterprise:
— Enterprise: Shuttle prototype used in jetliner-drop tests over Edwards Air Force Base in California in 1977, never flew in space. Originally on display at Smithsonian Institution hangar in Virginia, it was flown to New York City this past April and moved into the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in June.
— Columbia: Destroyed during descent on Feb. 1, 2003, after 28 missions stretching back to 1981. All seven astronauts were killed. The wreckage is stored in NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center, for research purposes.
— Challenger: Destroyed during launch on Jan. 28, 1986, after 10 missions stretching back to 1983. All seven astronauts were killed. Buried in a pair of abandoned missile silos at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
— Discovery: Moved to Smithsonian Institution hangar in Virginia in April after 39 missions stretching back to 1984.
— Atlantis: Being moved Friday to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center after 33 missions stretching back to 1985.
— Endeavour: Flown to Los Angeles in September and moved into California Science Center in October after 25 missions stretching back to 1992. It was the replacement for space shuttle Challenger.

From Classically Liberal:
I have to admit that now and then the Religious Right absolutely astounds me, rarely in a good way however. The depth of their irrationality is mind-boggling. Take this absurd question: Does the Religious Right love praying more than they hate homosexuals? On the face of it you would think that was an absurd question that can't be answered. But in Oklahoma a bunch of Republican theocrats in the state legislature managed to answer the question.
When the state legislature convenes they bring in some minister who is asked to pray. After the prayer a member of the legislature rises and asks that the prayer be put into the official record of the session. This is routinely done.
Recently Rev. Scott Jones of the Cathedral of Hope from Oklahoma City was asked to give the prayer. Jones was new at this sort of mixing of church and state and asked about the protocol. He was told that before his prayer he could recognize the individuals who came to the legislature with him. This came from the Speaker of the House, Rep. Chris Benge. Rev. Jones mentioned his "loving partner and fiancé, Michael" along with others as being with him. And then he prayed. That was all he did.
At the end of his prayer it was moved that the prayer be put into the record of the day, as is usually done. But this time Theopublicans in the House started protesting. They wanted the prayer stricken from the record, not because the prayer itself was particularly offensive but because the man who prayed happens to be gay. Twenty members of the legislature voted to ban the prayer and another 17 were just too cowardly to vote. The vote to remove the prayer failed but still about a third of the legislators voted to ban it or refused to vote at all.
Jason Murphey, a Republican who represent Guthrie and God, in the House said: "For him to show up and not just pray; that would be one thing. But to introduce his fiancé and then have his fiancé be a guy – and then pray – that was an attack on the beliefs of a lot of Oklahomans and it was entirely inappropriate."
The Old Confederacy and Buffalo Commons, indeed.
And to think some folks have acquired the misguided idea that we're sympathetic to the party which inspires such crap.

September 24, 1999
Jeanne Oswald
(609) 292-4310
The summer of 1999 was an exciting one for New Jersey's higher education community. The Commission on Higher Education and numerous colleges and universities throughout the state brought in almost $50 million in new federal grants to address college readiness, K-12 teacher preparation, math and science education, urban revitalization, and several other state priorities.
"Months of rigorous preparation have paid off handsomely for New Jersey and its institutions," James E. Sulton, Jr., executive director of the Commission on Higher Education, said at the Commission's monthly meeting in Trenton. "These new federal grants will enable our institutions to enhance the quality and scope of programs in critical areas in order to better meet the needs of New Jersey and its citizens."
Seven New Jersey colleges and universities across all sectors won a total of nine grants from the U.S. Department of Education under new programs to improve teacher quality, recruitment, and preparation.
Kean University was one of two institutions nationwide to win awards in all three of the new teacher preparation grant competitions. The university is the lead institution in a $1.6 million Teacher Quality Enhancement Program Partnership Grant that will align teacher training with the state's new core curriculum standards, require all teacher candidates to complete at least 12 credits of math and science and an intensified clinical experience, and increase the focus on using technology in the classroom. Partners in the grant include William Paterson and Rowan universities, 10 local school districts, corporations and a statewide parent organization.
Kean and Montclair State University were among 28 institutions nationwide to win teacher recruitment grants to attract new students to the teaching profession and reduce shortages and teacher turnover. Kean's $457,000 grant will focus on recruiting minority teachers and those with expertise in high-need areas such as early childhood education, world languages, math, science, and special education. Montclair's $288,000 grant will be used to recruit math and science secondary teachers, especially minority candidates, to work in high-need local districts.
Six New Jersey colleges and universities won grants in the third related competition, Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PTTT). Seton Hall University won a three-year $1 million implementation grant to improve teacher education programs to ensure well-prepared, technology-proficient educators. Kean, Georgian Court College, Gloucester County College, Ramapo College of New Jersey, and Rutgers University all won one-year capacity building grants given to help consortia of higher education institutions, school districts, and others develop the groundwork for innovative teacher preparation program improvement. Seton Hall also won a three-year $280,000 grant from the USDOE Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education to offer computer training to disadvantaged urban youth and an adult family member, and encourage them to enter careers in business and technology.
Rutgers University was awarded $992,000 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for efforts to create educational partnerships that support a learning community in science and math. The NSF also awarded a $400,000 grant to The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey for a program to infuse mathematical principles into other fields of study, and a $307,000 grant to Monmouth University to establish a multi-institutional, online learning environment for physical chemistry students.
Passaic County Community College won a five-year $1.9 million grant from the USDOE under the Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program. Passaic will focus on increasing student achievement and persistence through development programs, and improving enrollment and student support services. The college also won one of 14 grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to institutions with large Hispanic enrollments to help rehabilitate low-income neighborhoods near their campuses.
Rowan University won a similar HUD grant for nearly $400,000 to work with community organizations to enhance economic development and childcare, family literacy, and health/wellness services in Camden.
In the area of advanced scientific research, the University of Medicine and Dentistry got the largest grant in its history this summer - $22.3 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to lead a nationwide study that will evaluate the effectiveness of two stroke prevention procedures. New Jersey Institute of Technology won six grants from the NSF in August, most notably $300,000 to study neural mechanisms for generating temporal coding and $210,000 for a PC-based system to solve highly sophisticated computations. And Rider University received $107,044 from NIH for cancer research. In addition to these individual grant awards, the Commission and six institutions were awarded a five-year $10 million GEAR UP state grant to improve the academic achievement and college readiness of youngsters in Camden, Jersey City, Newark, and Trenton.
The NJ GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) state project will build on existing state-funded College Bound programs at Mercer County Community College, New Jersey City University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rowan University, Rutgers - Newark, and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The programs will provide students at 17 middle- and high schools with after school and Saturday tutoring, summer programs, mentoring, counseling, and college visits to encourage them to pursue undergraduate education. In addition to early intervention, the project will have a strong scholarship component.
Other partners in the GEAR UP state project include the state Department of Education, the state Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, and the New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund. In addition to the state project, Rutgers - Camden, New Jersey Institute of Technology's Center for Pre-college Programs, and Bergen Community College and the Englewood Public Schools also won grants through a separate partnership grant competition.
In addition, Montclair State, NJIT, and Rutgers all won new grants through the federal Upward Bound program. NJIT also received funding through the McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program.

I recently acquired a new Amiga X5000 from Amigakit. It has a Radeon HD 7700 and as far as I know, it has all necessary drivers.
When opening the Config utility, the display option shows only one entry: "Board 0:640x480 RGB16PC". The Descent Freespace config utility shows a whole bunch of modes, including "Board 0:1920x1200 ARGB32". Freespace runs like a charm. Gorky 17 does too, albeit at a mere 640x480 and without (MiniGL) hardware acceleration.
Anyone having had the same issue and got it fixed in the end?

Contact: Georgette Forney, co-founder, Silent No More Awareness Campaign, 412-398-7885
STATEN ISLAND, New York, Oct. 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- Leaders of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, the nation's largest network of women and men testifying to the harm they've endured from abortion, today criticized a bill passed by the Massachusetts Senate that would require pro-life pamphleteers and counselors to stay 35 feet from the edge of an abortion clinic's property.
The bill's passage comes only weeks after a 22-year-old woman died during or shortly after an abortion at a Cape Cod area clinic. An autopsy on the woman is pending.
"That the Massachusetts Senate would move to protect the abortion industry in the wake of Laura Smith's death is appalling," said Georgette Forney, co-founder of SNMAC. "A young woman apparently dies on an abortion table and the Senate's response is to pass a bill saying that the public can't exercise their First Amendment rights to warn women about the dangers of abortion. It's beyond belief."
"I know literally thousands of women who wish someone had given them an alternative to abortion," added Janet Morana, also a SNMAC co-founder. "The pro-abortion profiteers and their public relations flacks want women to be shielded from everything but their sales pitches. I would hope the Massachusetts House would see through this charade and protect both the First Amendment and women's right to know their options."
Since the launching of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 2,326 women and men have shared their testimonies publicly at 189 gatherings in 44 states and six countries where more than 15,000 spectators have heard the truth about abortion's negative aftereffects. More than 4,100 people are registered to be Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope with the pain are two of the Campaign's goals.
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans for Life and Priests for Life. For more information, please visit our website: www.SilentNoMoreAwareness.org
