Tenant Education Program
In order to work towards our mission of safe, stable and affordable rental homes, tenants need a place to call home. So CAT works to provide tenants with the basic information and strategies we need to know what our rights are and how to protect them. With this knowledge, we stand a better chance of maintaining our housing and being able to focus on building more protections for tenants under the law. Our Education Program is run almost entirely by our membership – tenants helping tenants. So we are able to provide something that no other group in Oregon can – concrete information about landlord-tenant law in everyday language, that real renters can understand. We also work with folks one-on-one to come up with a strategy that fits their particular situation. Because many of us have been through similar situations, we understand what people who use the hotline are going through.
Tenant Education has many components:
1. The Renters' Rights Hotline gives tenants detailed information about their rights and practical suggestions to help protect those rights. We can help renters anywhere in Oregon. The hotline operates most afternoons and some evening and weekend times.
2. Workshops in the community (usually the greater Portland area) to provide an orientation to landlord-tenant law and to give renters information needed to protect our rights, and
3. A series of renter information brochures explaining the law in everyday language and suggesting courses of action that will increase the ability of renters to remain in our current homes.
If you would like to volunteer in this capacity, contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Lamarra Haynes.
Building-Based Organizing with the Safe Housing Project
CAT has been organizing tenants in the buildings where they live with the Safe Housing Project since 2004. Since we began, tenants have identified habitability and repair issues, as well as their vulnerability to no-cause evictions from retaliation, as their top priorities. The Safe Housing Project has organized over 50 buildings and apartment complexes throughout the Portland metro area.
Tenants that participate in the Safe Housing Project develop skills in leadership, public speaking, meeting facilitation, and grassroots organizing. Tenants also learn about their rights as renters and how to reduce indoor health hazards. CAT staff and volunteers teach renters in apartment complexes in the Portland area how to organize around essential repair issues by demanding for safe, stable and affordable housing. We provide renters experiencing repair problems with education, expertise around city code and city inspectors, and support to fight for better quality housing.
The goal of the project is to improve housing conditions and build tenant power through education, training and building-based organizing.
* We do door-to-door outreach to get other tenants in the building involved.
* We organize and facilitate tenants' meeting to discuss repair needs throughout the complex.
* We provide education about renters' right and tools to identify hazards within the home through workshops.
* We support tenants' action to get repairs.
* We provide legal referrals, calls to the city inspectors and technical support.
* We train and provide advocacy opportunities for tenants to address repair and habitability issues to the city and media on a larger scale.
The first step is for neighbors to start talking to each other. Through collective action, tenants gain strength and reduce their chances of being retaliated against by their landlord for demanding improvements that are required under the law. If you live in the Portland area and would like more information about organizing in your building, contact our Organizing Team.
Research and Publications
CAT partners with academics, organizations and agencies to conduct and public research projects that educate the public, help tenants and affect policy. Much of the research we do focuses on habitability issues inside rental homes, and the lack of tenant protection, as well as the severe lack of affordable housing, can negatively affect residents' health.
Check out our Research and Publications page for more information.
All Tenant Education services are available in both Spanish and English, with access to other languages for many activities as well.
"I called the Renters' Rights Hotline sobbing one day after arriving to Portland from Denver. Our home was a mess. CAT gave me the tools to fight for repairs needed and courage to take on housing challenges."

Sony's The Interview, the controversial film about a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, has made $15 million online in just four days and is the studio's most downloaded film ever.
Although Sony initially cancelled the premiere and Christmas Day release of the James Franco and Seth Rogen film after hackers released emails from Sony executives and threatened violent attacks on cinemas that chose to screen it. However, the studio then decided to release the film online and it's been downloaded two million times in the last four days the BBC reports.
Sony said The Interview was made available to customers in the U.S. and Canada on Christmas Day through YouTube, Google Play, Microsoft's Xbox video and the Microsoft website, with an inside source saying that YouTube saw the greatest number of sales.
The film has also earned $3 million in cinemas, despite the fact that it was shown in just 331 theatres. The film cost around $75 million to produce and market.
Following Sony's decision to pull the film quickly become a totem of free speech and freedom of expression in the United States. Despite receiving poor reviews online and being named one of Forbes's most disappointing films of 2014 (right up there with The Expendables 3), there were queues for sold out showings in some major cities like Los Angeles.
In a statement, Sony Pictures Entertainment said it consulted with Google and Microsoft, among other companies, on 17th December to figure out how to release The Interview in an alternate way and called its release "essential… especially given the assault upon our business and our employees by those who wanted to stop free speech."
"We chose the path of digital distribution first so as to reach as many people as possible on opening day, and we continue to seek other partners and platforms to further expand the release," the statement continued.
President Barack Obama had even commented on Sony's decision to cancel the film's release, calling it a "mistake." In turn, North Korea blamed President Obama for an Internet outage in the country, issuing a statement saying that the president: "is the chief culprit who forced the Sony Pictures Entertainment to indiscriminately distribute the movie."
It continued: "Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest."
On 22nd November a hacker group leaked personal emails, salary information for thousands of Sony staff and the script for the new James Bond film. On 16th December, a group calling themselves Guardians of Peace threatened a 9/11-style attack on theaters showing the film. The FBI determined North Korea was behind the attack.

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela experienced complications related to his cancer surgery, resulting in bleeding that required "corrective measures," but he was showing signs of recovery, an official said Thursday.
The surgery, which lasted more than six hours, was done in Havana on Tuesday. Ernesto Villegas, Mr. Chávez's information minister, did not say when doctors detected the bleeding or got it under control. But he said that Mr. Chávez was recuperating in a way that he described as "progressive and favorable."
Given how little information the government has released on Mr. Chávez's health throughout the course of his illness, the recent change in its tone suggests that his condition is extremely serious and that there are doubts about how fully he may recover.
On Wednesday, Mr. Villegas had warned the country that Mr. Chávez, 58, might not be able to return to Venezuela by Jan. 10, when he is scheduled to be sworn in for a new six-year term. In that case, Mr. Villegas wrote in a note posted Wednesday on the Information Ministry's Web site, "the people should be prepared to understand. It would be irresponsible to hide the delicacy of the present moment and the days to come."
If Mr. Chávez cannot begin his new term, the Constitution calls for new elections to be held within 30 days. Mr. Chávez has said that if that occurs, his vice president, Nicolás Maduro, should be his party's candidate.Continue reading the main story
In the note on Wednesday, Mr. Villegas wrote that the operation had been "hard, complex, delicate" and that the period following surgery would be as well.
He urged Venezuelans to treat the situation in the same way as someone who has "an ill father, in a delicate situation."
Despite several announcements this week about Mr. Chávez's surgery, most details about his cancer and treatment have been kept secret since he received the diagnosis in June 2011. Mr. Chávez and officials have refused to say what kind of cancer it is and where exactly in his body it is, other than to say that it was found in the pelvic region.Continue reading the main story

I have a very fraught relationship with Mexican food, I have to admit. I am left completely cold by the uniform tortilla-with-meat-and-random-stuff stuff that you get in Mexican-themed restaurants. Seriously, nothing can be improved by adding a few complimentary nacho chips. Over the last months and years, however, I have come to accept that there is more to Mexican food than tacos and tortillas. Being rather lazy by nature, I had to give myself a little pressure to get myself into attempting to make Mexican food, which I did by signing up to review the incredibly beautiful Mexico: The Cookbook by Margarita Carrillo Arronte on Food52. Don't touch this tome if your New Year's resolution was to not buy any more cookbooks: the feel of it, its weight, the vibrant colours, al these will make it unputdowneable. And that's without even opening it. My Mexican friend kindly earmarked her favourite dishes in it before dashing off to Mexico for two months (how inconvenient is that?!), leaving me to pick up the pieces. On the upside, she keeps sending me pictures and short films of themselves having fun on the beach. Notwithstanding, over the next few weeks you can expect a right Mexican fiesta here, with not a nacho in sight. Molletes are simple open sandwiches, filled with mashed black beans, cheese and topped with a raw tomato salsa. Street food, I admit, rather than haute cuisine, but incredibly delicious as well as healthy. Isn't it interesting how people tend to pick such simple dishes when asked for their favourite childhood food?
Raw Tomato Salsa – Salsa Tomate Roja Crudo (serves 4)
- 200g red tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 tbs onion, freshly chopped
- 5 green chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
- 6 tbs coriander/cilantro, finely chopped
- salt, to taste
Begin by preparing the salsa, which lifts this dish from the ordinary healthy vegetarian sandwich into a celebration of tastes and textures: simply mix the chopped ingredients and season with the salt. Carillo suggests to use 6 serrano chillies, but I had to substitute them for something a) available and b) edible by a wimp like myself (the Chilean contingent of our family tends to have a chilli with every meal, chewing away at it with their dinner). I started off with a bunch of 'mild' chillies, probably the ones used in Mexico for preparing baby meals. Using rubber gloves to deseed them, I stopped short of donning a face mask but still clearly overdid the Health-and-Safety thing as the chillies ended up so mild I had to add two jalapeños. This time the gloves made sense.
Molletes – Cheese and Beans on Toast (serves 4)
- 2 tbs vegetable or corn oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 275g cooked black beans, drained and slightly mashed
- olive oil
- salt, to taste
- 4 rolls or baguette pieces, halved
- 120g crumbled or grated cheese – mild cheddar, emmental or, if you're lucky, oaxaca or chihuahua cheese
- Raw tomato salsa
Start by softening the onions in the vegetable oil unit soft and golden. Add the beans (if using dried beans for the first time, check out my Gallo Pinto recipe to see how to prepare them) and keep stirring and mashing them until you get a thick purée. I like to have some texture on mine, so I didn't quite mash it for that long. Add 4 tbs of the olive oil, to keep it moist, as well as some water, if necessary. I added some of the leftover cooking water of the beans. Season with salt. Preheat your oven or grill. Remove some of the soft insides to make room for the beans and slightly toast the bread. , Drizzle a little olive oil over the bread and add the beans mixture. Sprinkle the cheese over the beans and return them into the oven to melt the cheese. Serve with the salsa for a healthy snack or starter. I'll be bringing mine along to Angie's for the first Fiesta Friday party of the year: The party is being co-hosted by Mr Fitz of Cooking with Mr Fitz-fame – who is quite partial to all foods Mexican – and Kalia, who promotes healthy and gluten free food on GF life 24/7. I'm glad that this recipe might fulfil her requirements, once you substitute the white bread! I might even use some of my sourdough bread for a spot of fusion food – see you all at the Novice Gardener!

Crock-pot Meaty Chili with a Stove-Top Option
In the tool box of most thrifty people is a quick throw together chili. My can-can chili is great for that. For some people meat is a must. We've had vegetarian/vegan chili so much, that I don't miss meat. So this one's for some of my meat-loving family members (and actually this recipe works without the meat, too). I know since I've made this plenty of times sans meat.
Not only does this Crock-pot Meaty Chili work well without meat, but it also works well in a slow cooker or on the stove-top in a Dutch oven. So whether I have a busy day and throw the chili in the crock-pot before I begin my day, or if I need a meal that comes together fast on the stovetop at the end of a long day, chili's a go-to.
If you are making this in the crock-pot, the favor of the meal is augmented by browning the onions, celery and carrots in a cast-iron skillet. There's flavor in the brown, friends. Honestly, I will do this anytime during the cooking-just whenever I get around to it. Sometimes I have the veggies browned the night before and throw them in right away. Other times I'll brown them midday or right before serving. Now that I use the skillet all of the time, I don't care when exactly I sauté the veggies as long as I do it. The flavor of the chili is enhanced. And when I make this in my Dutch oven, it's even easier to sauté since it's all done in one pot.
This recipe is inspired and adapted from the Black Kale Chili recipe from the book, Eat More, Burn More by Chef Gui Alinat. Jonathan bought the book last year, and we've enjoyed a few recipes out of it including this, huevos rancheros and pigs in a blanket using a blend coconut flour, almond flour, and whole wheat flour. Didn't know such a blend would work, anyway. Guess what? You can get a free copy of the book. So go here to get your free copy.
Crock-pot Meaty Chili with a Stove-Top Option
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 3 Carrots, coined
- 3 Celery ribs, chopped
- 2 Tbs Avocado, Olive or Coconut Oil, optional for sautéing
- 3-15 ounce cans (or 4 1/2 cups) of Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 Tbs Chili Powder
- 1 cup Kale, stems removed and diced
- 3 Tbs Tomato Paste
- 1 1/2 cups Water or Broth
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1-15 ounce can Diced Tomatoes
Slow Cooker Instructions
- Optional, saute the onions, carrots, and celery in a cast iron skillet until onions are translucent, and the vegetables are soften.
- Brown ground beef on medium heat.
- Place ground beef and sautéed vegetables along with the remaining ingredients in the crock-pot.
- Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-9 hours or until carrots are thoroughly cooked. For a saucier soup, add more water or broth by the 1/4 cup until desired consistency is reached.
- Top with your favorite cheese or cheese substitute, green onions, tomatoes, cilantro, or whatever your heart desires.
Stove Top Instructions
- In a 5-6 quart Dutch oven, brown ground beef on medium heat. Add oil, and sauté the onions, carrots, and celery in oil until onions are translucent or browning.
- Add remaining ingredients to the Dutch oven, and cook until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally about 30 minutes. For a saucier soup, add more water or broth by the 1/4 cup until desired consistency is reached.

Having a solid lead process can be the difference between capturing a customer and having them walk out the door
Well it's official. The future is now — we just can't underestimate the influence of "digital" on the customer journey any longer. Integrating digital into your sales process is crucial to your success.
Selling to today's customer really requires you to know how to use all the various types of communication, everything from email and phone to texting and social media.
You need a proven process to help manage how your team engages with your customers effectively.
Path to purchase
The linear path is long gone. According to Google, as customers shop, they are usually hitting 24 different touch points — 19 of them digital.
Customers are using multiple devices, including mobile, tablet and desktop, and are researching at all hours of the day and night. Along the way, some will reach out to you via email, phone, chat and text while others will gather their information and simply show up at your dealership.
The key to remember is they are visiting less than two dealerships. A high percentage of customers who land in your showroom are well prepared, have already made buying decisions, and have chosen you out of the many options they've explored.
During this journey, customers experience emotional peaks and valleys based on their online engagements. These swings in emotion go from excitement to distrust based mainly on their interaction with multiple dealers and research touchpoints. These customers expect quality engagements and a seamless transition from their online to offline experience.
Know your customers
To improve this critical transition it helps to understand the three types of Desired Dealership Experiences spectrum, which, according to Google Canada research, ranges from "a little help" to "lots of help."
Customers who need the most help fall into the "hand-holding" experience. They represent 13 per cent of your shoppers and are generally first-time buyers who are looking for green vehicles. They have the shortest buying journey at 33 days.
On the other end of the spectrum — those wanting no help at all — are the "self-serve" customers. They represent about a third of your shoppers, and are typically males 45-54 who are often looking for pre-owned vehicles.
They have the longest buying journey at 72 days.
The third kind of customer which represents about half of your shoppers are those looking for the "facilitator" experience.
These shoppers have done research but still want your help in their vehicle purchase. They are typically women 18-34 who are looking for new vehicles. Their buying journey is about 54 days.
Engage with quality
As an industry we continue to struggle with providing engagements that express the very basic needs of communication.
After studying and scoring email responses over the last five years we see a clear and simple trend: engage with quality and you will sell more. This is not anecdotal.
We have studied the data that directly supports this. In your initial email response to the customer, if you:
1) Are professional and courteous;
2) Answer their questions;
3) Provide a price when asked;
4) Ask good questions; and
5) Engage with video, you will connect, appoint and sell to more customers.
Progressive dealers are also engaging through online chat, text messaging and social media. If done correctly, chat can be a great online tool for engagement.
Today, many chat providers turn chat leads into email leads. With mobile usage rapidly on the rise, click to call from Google searches and websites are cannibalizing email leads.
Chat, text and social leads are becoming a preferred method of contact, and if you're not working with these channels, it's not too late to start.
Follow a process
Having a solid lead handling process will drive your success to connect with more leads, appoint more prospects and sell to more customers. The key to connecting with your prospects is to provide a quality engagement that offers value, transparency and earns their trust.
Typically, the process is divided into an initial three-day connection push and remaining 11-day follow up phase. The first day should consist of an auto responder, personal email, personal phone call, video or text message.
Engaging on day one with auto responders is a good way to introduce your dealership during business hours, and after hours. The main objective of the auto response is to provide confirmation of the lead receipt, but should not replace your Initial Quality Response (IQR).
The next engagement is your first personalized email or IQR. Every lead is an opportunity, so don't ignore it.
Like I always say — if a customer was standing in your showroom, would you ignore them for two hours? No! So why are you doing it online?
Always try to respond within 15 minutes of receiving the lead as this has proven to significantly increase your close rate.
Speed is important, but our research has found that a quality response will close at four times the rate. The trick is to find balance.
The power of video
This channel is one of the most engaging and highly impacts connection with the prospect.
Video is a vast communication channel and can be overwhelming, so we recommend simplifying and focusing on four video types for your customers.
A walk around video: This mirrors what you do with your customers in the showroom. This is generally used for pre-owned opportunities but can also provide value for new car buyers. These should be short, to the point and under three minutes.
The introduction video: This is a technique to introduce the customer to you or your dealership. This is generally taken from your desk and designed to express the experience of buying from you and your dealership.
An unsold follow up video: This is a great way to reconnect with a cold lead and provide additional value or reason to return.
Delivery follow-up video: This is a fantastic way to help drive CSI and encourage online reviews.
Pick up the phone
The next channel in the communication sequence is the personal call. We all use the phone but there are some quality techniques that will help drive a higher appointment rate. Connecting via the phone is crucial to your success and can be a challenge to master.
Here are a few pointers to help you improve your skills and set more quality appointments.
Control yourself and you'll control the call. Be prepared for the call and anticipate objections. Scripts can help you build the skills and control but avoid using them as a crutch.
Focus on a five-seven minute call to set the appointment. Building rapport takes time and the key to setting appointments is to have an engaged conversation that builds trust and rapport.
Avoid this common phone mistake: never ask for the appointment before building trust and rapport. The customer may run.
Connect via text
The last communication channel is texting. This a growing trend that we are seeing expand exponentially. It's also the most reliable way to reach your customers.
A recent Canadian study from Strathcom Media show 29 per cent of tweets are read, 20 per cent of emails are opened, 12 per cent of Facebook posts are read. When it comes to text, 98 per cent of messages are read.
To not be using this channel is essentially choosing to have a lower connection rate.
Bringing it all together
Implementing a proven process is your best way to win new customers. Always respond in the same format that they originally submitted the request, but don't limit yourself.

How to decide on car specifications
Buying a car these days is relatively simple. In most cases you can just do a couple of online searches and find all the information you may need. However, sometimes people simply don't recognize the importance of some of that the information they come across. We don't just mean raw technical data, although that is the most complex part of the equation. A car has a personality, almost like a person. In simple terms, cars have their own sets of advantages and inherent flaws that we can recognize if we take the time to know them better. Basically, knowing car is a lot like knowing a person. Yes, it may sound silly, but car specifications are as much about personality as it is about raw stat data.
Car specifications – Step One
Before you even begin looking for a new car, you should probably decide on what kind of car specifications you're actually after. Most car manufacturers often have several separate series of car models, each of the car series representing a different emphasis on something. For instance, the global spike in fuel prices has sparked the public's interest about hybrid cars, so let's take them as an example. Hybrid cars can basically run on standard fuel or other alternative energy sources like electricity or even organic oil types that act as fuel replacement. Hybrid cars usually cost more than classic fuel cars, although they may save you a lot of money in the long run. So it all basically comes down a certain question. Are you looking for a car that requires care and investment while giving you instant satisfaction in driving, or are you looking for a car that requires care and saves you money in the long run while potentially limiting your driving enjoyment?
Car specifications – Step two
To elaborate just a bit on the previous paragraph, it was meant to be more as a basic starting point for new car owners. Most people that have owned cars already have their own preferences between cost saving and cost enjoyment. In any case, next up is raw data. The basic concept on how a car runs is just one part of complex car specifications. Now you need to determine what subtype of car you're looking for. Do you need something fast or something with a lot of room? Do you live alone or do you have a family? Once you've found a type of car that is suits to your needs and wishes, you can start comparing technical data between similar car models of the same manufacturer. It's mostly just raw math at this point.
Car specifications – Step three
So once you've decided that you like the car specifications of a certain model, it's time to look at prices. To be honest, a lot of people usually look at prices first and car specs second. It's much more useful to first pick a model that will serve as a benchmark for further selection even if it isn't in your price range. From then on, it's basically just a process of elimination and finding the best "bang for your buck".

New Year, New Woof!
Here's how to include your best friend in your best year yet!
1. Try Something New
Whoever said, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" clearly hasn't gotten out lately. Whether you are a seasoned dog parent or a proud, new puppy parent, dog games are a fun and exciting way to play and engage with your dog!
These treat seeking puzzles challenge you and your dog to new problem solving skills and help you to train and play with your dog in new ways!
2. Explore New Heights
If you've been timid to break new ground, bring your dog along for the journey! To help you in your travels, we've created dog backpacks and packs to hold the essentials like car keys, and potty bags making you hands-free for more time Instagramming all the beautiful scenery!
Plus, getting outdoors with your dog is an excellent way to strengthen your bond; your body and dog will thank you for the extra exercise!
3. Say Goodbye to Bad Habits
Did your dog chew through one too many pairs of shoes, pillows or slippers last year? Help them ditch these bad habits and learn something new about your dog in the process by exploring their chewing needs!
Your vet will help you understand if they are restless or have separation anxiety which may be causing them to chew through your things and not theirs! Matching them to a durable chew toy will likely help their boredom and your bank account!
4. Spread the Ruv
Start the year off on the right food and paw by Spreading the Ruv to others! Looking into ways to volunteer with your dog is a great way to become more active in your local communities and towns and is a wonderful way to work on your dog's social skills with other animals and people.
Check out the ways our CMO Michael Parness took time to #SpreadTheRuv this past year with his therapy dog, Goober here!
5. Challenge Yourself
When was the last time you did something for the first time? Trying a new activity like Paddle Boarding is a fun and way to get you and your dog trying new things together!
Be sure to suit them up with a life jacket before you hit the water! Even shallow water can present challenges and it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Northwoods League: Haupt leads Stingers over Thunder Bay
THUNDER BAY, Ontario -- With two outs in the ninth inning of a 6-6 game, Dillon Haupt lined his second double of the night to left-centerfield to drive home Hunter Dozier and Michael Suchy, providing the game-winning RBIs in a 9-7 Willmar Stingers victory at over Thunder Bay on Friday.
After Thunder Bay tied the game in the bottom of the eighth, Dozier and Suchy led off the final frame with back-to-back singles. Kenny Roberts laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance both runners into scoring position. Two batters later, Haupt came through in the clutch. The double marked his second of the game with both going to the wall in left-centerfield and scoring two runs each time.
Max Kuhn followed with a single to bring home Haupt for the Stingers' ninth run of the game. Kuhn has at least one RBI in seven-straight games, while Haupt finished the night 3-for-5 with four RBIs and two runs scored.
Brady Anderson earned his third victory of the season after entering the game with two outs in the eighth with the score tied and the go-ahead run on third base for Thunder Bay. Anderson is now 3-0 with 10 saves this season in 16 appearances.
Kyle Fischer did not factor into the decision despite leaving the game with a 6-5 lead after six innings. Fischer, who struck out five and only walked one, allowed five runs on eight hits.
The Stingers gained the first lead of the game after scoring three runs on five hits in the sixth inning to overcome a 5-3 deficit. Haupt and Kuhn hit consecutive singles with one out in the inning, and Zach Benson hit an RBI double to the centerfield wall to score Haupt, but Kuhn was thrown out at home for the second out. Forrestt Allday walked for the 60th time, tying the Northwoods League record for most in a single season set by Ben Magsig of Alexandria last year.
Still trailing 5-4, Mitch Rowan and Dozier hit back-to-back two-out RBI singles to put the Stingers in front, 6-5.
Originally down 3-0, the Stingers tied the game initially, 3-3, on a bases-loaded walk by Suchy in the fifth inning for his 52nd RBI of the year. Willmar's first two runs came when Roberts and Corben Green scored on Haupt's first double of the evening.
The Stingers are 10-6 and in second place in the Northwoods League North Division second half. Willmar continues its three-game series at Thunder Bay 5:05 p.m. today.

Deb's Heart to Yours Today - I Said This Too = Oh My, Another Monday? No Blessing Yet?
Folks, if everything seems to go wrong and you are loosing hope fast, say I am going to trust You Father God. Even if the basic needs of my life are not being met, say I place my trust in You Father God. What is the alternative? Anger and despair.
We are so tired of "yet another Monday" in this waiting for our blessing. You can be bitter at God and angry at life, or in your hurt and confusion make a conscious decision to trust God. Declare that the end results of our prayers are that the answers ARE on the way, even though it doesn't make sense right now. We are in "God's waiting room" right now, not Wells Fargo, not Madame Wu's, Iraq's, CBI's or anyone's room.
While waiting carry on with your life giving affairs, if you have to find a job at Target to cover necessities do so, if you have to patch that hole in your sock again, do so. I know, it doesn't seem fair as we have prayed so many times for this RV to manifest. WHERE IS IT? We all ask that but remain constant, as it surely is coming.
Sometimes we do wonder if God has heard us and its only natural to have those fleeting thoughts come to us. We're not sure when we are going to get out of this "waiting room". It is an unpleasant and unhappy place. We want this to be over and not have to wait any more. It is all you can do to obey the scripture that says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5).
Read More Link on Right
This is not the time to pitch a tent in Pity-Land. This is not a time to just lay down and resign yourself to defeat and say, "It's all over for us, this will never happen or its delayed till next year." It is a time to rise up and say, "Now that I'm here, Lord, I will remain in faith and trust You that YOU are in control...
TRUST me when I say I am preaching to myself today here too. I shared this same word with my my baby sister Tonya just a minute ago who is facing and right now IN a desperate situation: Acknowledge His faithfulness and readiness to move on your behalf when you see nothing. Why? Because, when you see nothing happening, Remember this my cherished friends, every Word God has sent to us…every promise He has made is in some stage of fulfillment. He is still there like an experienced and faithful stage hand behind the scenes of a great play orchestrating the upcoming scene. Choose to Keep the Faith my friends, trust the goodness and love of God and live in hope of His promises as surely they will come just as He said...SUDDENLY!
"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom." -Luke 12:32
PRAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME: Father God, the rain falls from the heavens and waters the earth. As a result, things grow, mature and become fruitful. It is the same with Your Word. Every Word You have given me is full of power and ability…full of the redemptive work of the Cross and brings about the purpose for which it was sent to me. Everything You purpose for Your Word in my life shall be accomplished. Every need is and will be supplied according to the riches in glory by Christ Jesus. You called me from the very beginning…before the worlds were and are trustworthy to keep me according to all You have called me to be.
Therefore, I will not grow weary in doing good…will not grow weary in following Your Word and unction of the Spirit. I will not be one who faints and I will reap in due season according to Your timing. Father, I stand in the confidence of one who is a son of God and heir to Your salvation. I will be found standing on the day when my promises come into fullness and are manifest before me.
I will not be late to my own party. I will not be depressed at the time of the manifestation of Your blessing to me as Your Word as promised. Father, I decree The Lord has gone before me this day and every day after to make a way where there is no way. He has gone before me and I will follow His lead.
I stand tall right now in Your faith, I will seize the day and grab hold of all promised to me. I do not give it over to the birds of the air nor to the mixed up words I read regarding this revaluation. Father Your promise is my inheritance…my fruit…my destiny. I acknowledge the faithfulness of the Lord; thereby, I experience the fullness of strength and endurance it takes to not grow weary. I stand in the strength of YOU and receive the refreshing of Your Spirit… I receive the goodness of You in the land of the living. I decree when the Lord speaks to me, a promise given is a promise kept and there is no dispute on my behalf. The Great Promise Keeper has drawn near to me and I to Him. Thank you Father God, I am refreshed, renewed and full of expectant hope. I remain standing till my SUDDENLY comes. In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen and Selah
I stand in agreement with you DebTHG. There really is no other choice and I know when we get on the other side of this it will be soooo worth it. The truth is, we only develop the character traits we need to be successful soldiers in Gods army through struggles. Much like the birds breaking out of their shells develop the strength to fly.
12/10/2012 04:00:16 am
Best word of the day - HE IS developing us for use, HIS GOOD USE when this blessing does come... we THINK we can handle this wealth but without His teaching us now we would not be able to handle it - AMEN
12/10/2012 03:43:42 am
12/10/2012 02:19:15 am
Good morning Deb and everyone, I have the following saying hanging by my computer and, when things start to drag me down, these words give me hope:
12/10/2012 03:43:27 am
12/10/2012 02:19:32 am
12/10/2012 02:20:26 am
Funny, your posting last week made me sure we were there. You rarely ever say anything that doesn't sound like church. Yet, last week you went out on a ledge and told us that today was the end of an era. Today, you suggest we go get a job at Target or whatever, to make the bridge to whenever the era really ends and there is a new beginning. Knowing who you are and where you work and considering today's statement, I would have to say we are right back at NOBODY knows when the end will come.
12/10/2012 02:52:10 am
I agree, Stone46. My heart sank also - DebTHG is a daily dose of encouragement but today it is mixed with a heavy dose of reality. Maybe we needed that. It even feels to me just to go to Plan B and get that job at Target. Not to sound negative (because they won't post it), but just get real.
12/10/2012 03:43:03 am
AND I repeat this to you too....I am not one to call anything – BUT - TODAY IS OUR DAY IN GOD as everyday. Sometimes we read what we want to see and assume what is there. Last year on December 1st, after my former company moved to Texas I could not go with them since my daughters doctors are all here, I had to take a new job after my severance ran out kicking and screaming mind you – I took this job even a cut in salary saying oh well I will only be here 2 weeks max – now look I have been on this job for 1 year to date – If I had stayed out and waited on this RV, I would be in a heap of mess financially. NO matter what, if someone needs to be "boosted of their waiting "rear" then I am one to do just that FROM EXPERIENCE as someone encouraged me NOT to wait around home and on the sites for this RV – its just not productive seeds I want to sow – I try to sow positive seeds into all of you when directed by the one that LOVES YOU BEYOND our faults – amen? I do know this is the last hours of this Revaluation expedition so HANG IN THERE WITH EVERYONE OK? HUGS TO YOU!

While we all tend to 'pick out' certain parts of each and every post we read, those that either resonate with us or go completely against everything that keeps us hangin' in there, how can anyone fault DebTHG for doing her best to keep everyone in the game.
12/11/2012 12:36:33 am
Wow my sentiments exactly - if I could give it to everyone right now, this RV and its completion would be my pleasure to produce. While I do have great contacts the Lord has joined me with, We all are in a walk of faith here - so allow the moment to groom us or brush it off and never complete the destiny filled life that was mean to be for everyone... amen!
12/10/2012 02:26:44 am
Amen and amen.
12/10/2012 04:02:12 am
WOO What a great word of encouragement to me! HUGS to you!
12/10/2012 02:41:31 am
Blessings Deb! : )
12/10/2012 04:11:34 am
WOG(Woman of God) thank you so very much for that word!!!! Just what I/we(husband) needed to say/hear...just when needed. Please continue to stay/be encouraged if that's even possible...you are truly fulfilling a calling that God has on your life. To be an Encourager!!!
Micki (Dinar disciple)
12/10/2012 02:56:32 am
Deb, thanks for your encouragement - not only regarding the RV but as it also applies to our daily lives and the things that we all must face personally. I appreciate your message and feel so much better after reading it. I keep this saying on my computer: "As long as there is someone in the sky to protect me, there is no one on the Earth who could break me." Standing strong and waiting!
12/10/2012 04:03:32 am
AMEN we all are waiting but not for much longer - amen!
12/10/2012 03:02:51 am
I am greatful and have been so blessed by your words from God. Your encouragement always comes right on time and just gives me confirmation as well as others in Dinarland that Jesus Christ is in control and that we must be patient and faithful, waiting on the promises of God. I thank you for spreading Gods word.!
12/10/2012 04:09:06 am
I gave myself away to Jesus so HE Could use me! HUGS to you!
12/10/2012 03:05:14 am
Your words are soooo encouraging
12/10/2012 04:08:02 am
GOD knows what our needs are even before we ask! HUGS to you!
Deb.. I always appreciate your posts of encouragement. Today what you wrote inspired this song lyric, so I have given you co-writer credit. Enjoy:)
12/10/2012 04:04:39 am
WOW WOW WOW lets take it to the music world and get this published amen!!!
12/10/2012 04:57:00 am
Deb, if you want to send me your email address, I will send you the melody to the song later today (I have been playing with this all morning) as I prayed over the song ... there were a few things to be changed.
12/10/2012 06:29:48 am
I am DebTarHeelGirl at the gmail. Would love to hear from you!
12/10/2012 03:11:31 am
Thank You Father for using Deb as a vessel to help and encourage the people who trust in you. We know it is here and we wait for you to things in your own time. You know what is best! Your ways ARE NOT our ways. But you want what is best for YOUR children! We may feel that we needed this blessing a long time ago but you are in charge regardless of what WE think. I trust you fully and completely! And I thank you for positioning us to be wealthy! Your children are looking forward to fulling your plans in them to help others know who You are. Thank you for trusting me with this awesome blessing and knowing that I will still trust you when others give up on you because they don't get what they want now, like children having a tantrum. Though the mountains may fall I still trust and believe in you. YOU are my provider, You are my hope, You are my rock and You are my protector. Even if death comes I still trust in YOU!!!!!! Bless your name!!
12/10/2012 04:06:21 am
WOW this is beautiful thanks for YOUR word of encouragement to us all today!
12/10/2012 03:17:23 am
Great anointed word,THANKS.

Hi Iowa boy, I believe for me God tapped me on my shouler to get in line. The line was the Travelex window to purchase Dong. My sister had called me and said she heard it was going to revalue. I said I believed it should, I have traveled to Viet Nam 6 times & I know the country's need. But, I still had a hard time with it's potential value and what it could be. She said she had bought some for me and her hope was to pay off my mortgage. I said thank you and left it had that. THEN God spoke to me and said "I want you to believe your sister, I am tapping you on your shoulder, and I want you to get in line!" I know His voice! I got in line! We are heavily invested in the Dong as well as the Dinar. We will be blessed, but it is to extend His Kingdom, His provision to others. Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Jesus is The King of His Kingdom He brought it to man here on earth. It's time to activate God's plan to walk in agreement with Him. To be His Hands, His Feet to a lost and broken world. I have invested to reap a harvest for Gods Use. I will not only tithe, but my "Jubilee" will be others Jubilee. I have know Christ as Saviour & Lord of my life for 50 years. I have served Him in foreign countries for 34 years. I heard His voice I responded This Is About God to me. He says, "My Sheep Hear My Voice" I have heard His. I trust that you too will recognize that you have heard His voice and the reason you purchased the currency was that God wanted you to be blessed so YOU could BE A blessing!! I pray you are blessed beyond measure in all ways.
12/10/2012 04:02:36 am
Thank you dear friend and sister in Christ. Your words are insipred by the Holy Spirit. I appreciate you--- thank you for THIS beautiful message. We all are weary and so ready to receive, we must however go about the duties of life. Our blessing will come!
Don Robinson
12/10/2012 04:05:35 am
Deb: I will add my 2 cents worth. I wonder what Daniel thought when NOBODY showed up for 21 days and when he did the arch angel Michael had to help him get thru. Must have been quite a fight. I believe that we are in the same kind of circumstances. The weapons of our warfare are not (physical) but (spiritual) for the pulling down of strongholds. Prayer is NOT a waste of time nor ineffectual. John says that if we pray according to His will we KNOW that He hears us and will give us what we ask for. Are we ready to contend for what God has clearly given us, or are we going to give up? I will not give us. I Have done all I know to do So I will Stand, believing that my Father loves me and will Contend for me. In the mean time what is coming out of my mouth will be pleasing to Him. Thanks for being such a positive voice in this time. we all need it.
Michelle K
12/10/2012 04:54:48 am
Amen and AMEN !!
12/10/2012 05:46:47 am
DTHG!!! your "Cheerleader/Prophetic" voice is of God; it is clearly bringing out the faith required to get this "job" done; through HIS people; and attests to this being a part of Our Father's universal end-time plan to fulfill multiple scriptures on many levels! Prov.13:22--the Joshua's and Caleb's! What did the children of Israel take out of Egypt under Moses's instructions?All the wealth of Egypt to build God's House---soul's of men in our dispensation of time! Eunice means victory in Greek/Heb.Yonah
MT Susie
12/10/2012 06:11:18 am
Thank you SO MUCH...This is EXACTLY what we needed. We ARE tired of "standing Still" and seemingy doing nothing...but we ARE standing in FAITH of HIS promises....Bless you and THANK YOU for God's word to US !!!
12/10/2012 06:32:17 am
this one is to Michelle.
Deb, thanks for the inspiration from the Lord, since you never answered my last question , hope you can answer this one, If you are in NC do you know if they will cash in VND here (Greenville).
12/11/2012 12:39:57 am
I am hearing they will have 1100 branches of WF around the nation to exchange currency - just wait to receive the instructions from Dinar Recaps as we will get them to the owner to email blast to everyone upon receipt - follow the cash out instructions and you will be fine!

Ok Deb ... I have worked on this since early this am and haven't even stoped to eat ... but here is a 'scrath vocal" you can listen to it by going to :
12/10/2012 11:36:24 am
Deb.. The Bible says " do not be weary in well doing; for in DUE SEASON you will reap if you faint not". There is a due season for everything. God wants us to seek Him MORE than we want this blessing & then I believe it will come. Thank you for the encourging word... Blessings , Debbie

THE BUDGET session has started and Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman PJ Kurien has held on to his chair. But the din against him in the Suryanelli rape case refuses to die in Kerala. Despite protests by the Left parties, the state government has refused to act on the victim's complaint that Kurien was among those who raped her. The victim, a native of Suryanelli in Idukki district, was a teenager in 1996 when she was abducted and raped by 42 men over 40 days.
The government has already informed the Kerala High Court that the victim's complaint is not legally sustainable, checking her move for a fresh investigation against Kurien in the rape case that allegedly took place at the Kumily Panchayat Rest House in Idukki district.
Director General of Prosecutions T Asif Ali also made a submission before the court that the Supreme Court had exonerated Kurien in 2007, the victim was silent all these years and there is no fresh evidence against Kurien.
But legal experts believe the legal noose can't be wished away. "If everybody is equal before the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and the IPC, Kurien can't escape an investigation or trial," says A Jayashanker, a lawyer who practices at the Kerala High Court. "The Director General of Prosecutions, the police, the state government and the Center are well aware that under CrPC 166(A), the police should have registered a complaint against Kurien when the victim lodged her petition. The police could have also filed a complaint under CrPC 173(8) against Kurien when the victim filed a private complaint. It's not ignorance of law but distortion that is helping Kurien evade trial."
Jayashanker believes the law is on the victim's side. Kurien had never faced a trial in the case. No court had acquitted him but only discharged him from the charges based on facts or lies presented before the court.
It was Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan and Justice RV Raveendran who delivered the single-line judgment that read, "The Special Leave Petition is dismissed", after the Kerala government filed a petition on 16 November 2007. Interestingly, it was none other than BJP leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley who appeared on behalf of Kurien to get a favourable verdict.
MEANWHILE, WOMEN'S rights activists fighting for justice in the Suryanelli case believe that there are enough grounds to demand a fresh probe against Kurien. "Dharmarajan, who was convicted in the case, has now confirmed that Kurien visited Kumily and met the girl when she was confined," says Suja Susan George, a Kottayam-based activist. "DSP KK Joshua, who probed the case, has revealed the then DGP Siby Mathews, who headed the SIT that later probed the case, had twisted facts to save Kurien. Even the alibis presented by those who said Kurien was in Thiruvalla, 160 km away from Kumily, when the rape happened, seem to be false. Don't you think that these are enough grounds to demand a fresh probe?"
"The Suryanelli rape victim has been fighting for justice for the past 17 years. Even now, she is being subjected to a sustained verbal assault. Her family is facing a similar fate," she says.
The 33-year-old victim is mulling her options in a bid to save her honour and get justice. "One day, the world will realise that I was telling the truth," she says. "I'm waiting to get a reply from the SPs of Idukki and Kottayam on my petition against Kurien. Then I would approach the court."
As the legal battle looms large, the Congress is wary of its political fallout. A section of the Congress leaders in the state feel that the Suryanelli episode will certainly harm the party in the 2014 Lok Sabha election. "In the age of visual media, issues like rape can wreak havoc. To a great extent, the youth are influenced by instant opinions that are aired by the electronic media. It's a dangerous trend," says a senior Congress leader. He hopes that the media will soon stumble upon new issues and put Suryanelli back in the cold storage.

Yeah, I REALLY want to take full credit for how awesome this wedding turned out, but truly there were many factors that contributed to the magic that was Heather and DJ's wedding. Like my AMAZING and talented partner Sarah Torres who I adore and takes incredible photos to add to the mix. The Stunning setting and incredible sunsets at Serrano Country club with Jennifer at the wheel making everything flow with ease, our talented florist Dawn from Natural Flair Custom Floral Design and my oh so beloved one and only Matt from Extreme Productions. Also one of my favorite officiants Cindie Wilding did their ceremony like a boss and my pals at All Dolled Up made this beautiful bride even more beautiful. And of course This delightful couple ! Man alive did I LOVE Heather and D.J ! So fun loving, delightful and all around chill. Fabulous families and friends, incredible skies, jelly beans and kittens happening on the very very special day ! I could write a small novel about this wedding and how much I loved everything about it, but me thinks if you are looking at my blog it is because you want to see photos, so lets get to the good stuff below already.
Yes, we did put the rings on a page of War and Peace ?
Unbelievable love festival going on here people ! Yeah yeah yeah, Brian and Kristin are soul mates and madly in love, but the love between photographer and wedding couple.. that is my focus here ! These two are just dreamy in soooooooooo many way. Their wedding at the FABULOUS Citizen Hotel could not have been ANY better. With Matt from Extreme Productions doing their lighting and entertainment and my treasured bestie Sarah shooting the wedding with me ( this is likened to winning the bridal lottery ) , it was the best day ever. We are all making out as we speak. I know you do not want me to blather on any more about how awesome this couple was so bring on the photos.
The look on Brians face…priceless !
Of course we had to work my favorite alley spot.
LOVE the photo on the right, one of my favorites ever.
FUN FACT: Sarah and I joked that Kristen should write a ' how to be the coolest bride on earth' guide.
SO MUCH LOVE AND LUCK IN THE HOUSE for my first wedding of 2011 ( YES, I DO have more 2010 weddings to blog, I am still milking them ). Gina and Rhett were so obviously made for each other, what an honor to capture their special day !
Just so many delicious ingredients for the valentines days wedding ! Gina, a remarkable girl, is so full of life and spunk AND A DOCTOR to boot. The minute I met her I desperately wanted to shoot her wedding. Add her now husband, Rhett to the mix and it was just the ideal wedding. These two had one of the BEST venues, The Citizen Hotel, one of the VERY BEST coordinators, the lovely and talented Lora Ward from A DAY TO REMEMBER. Matt Bryce from Extreme Productions did the lighting ( love ) , D.j -ing and was their officiant ( and coat check guy and he was a mid-wife to 3 children born that night…kidding ). I loves me some Matt Bryce, thats all I'm sayin'. And if things could not have gotten any better, Katie from Ambience made the day most beautiful with her flowers. But wait…don't order yet, because we also got mr. sun shining his face to make our light oh so yummie and I was able to bring Carmen to shoot the wedding with me. Carmen is such a cool gal as well as a very talented photographer. I could go on and on, but suffice to say…MAMA LIKES :
Just Endless places to shoot in an around the Citizen Hotel, really a photographers dream location.
Yes…the alley can be a bit 'pungent' at times : )
How cute is Rhett. Just sheer delight to work with !
I LOVE this shot Carmen got of Gina reading her vows before the ceremony. Priceless !
Dig at the expression on Matt's face !
I LOVE this photo !!!
The dance floor was so packed the guest were literally dancing all over the place.
FUN FACT: MY last wedding of last year and first wedding of this year was at the Citizen Hotel with Lora and Matt, dare I be so bold to say ' The dream team was in the house'.
photos with heart and soul

San Diego Report
Wonderful San Diego
The weather was 70's in the daytime and in the 60's in the evenings. The Manchester Grand Hyatt was great, with good lighting, lots of room and all playing venues in one location. The food service was expensive but there were plenty of places you could walk or a take a short taxi ride to that were fine.
The Tournament was a success with 12,927 tables, more than anticipated. The tournament chairs Ken Monzingo and Bonnie Bagley and their volunteers did a great job. Special congratulations goes to Peter Rank for his production of My Fair Little Old Lady that was available for four nights that got rave reviews. Also a reading by Gary M. Pomerantz with an enactment of the shooting of Jack Bennett was very well done. By the way, if you have not read his book "The Devil's Tickets" I strongly recommend it.
The Board approved the management recommendation to hold the 2014 Spring NABC in Dallas, March 20-31.
October continued the strong pattern of 2009 with a net gain of 623 members. The total gain for the first ten months is 3039. District 16 has done its part with an increase of 702 members and a net increase of about 290-300 members.
The districts who use the Cooperative Advertising Program the most are the ones with the largest increase in membership. The ACBL is creating Branded Radio "spot" templates, which will be offered to clubs, teachers, units for personalization so they can place them at their local radio stations. A portion of the radio ad fees would qualify for the Cooperative Advertising reimbursements.
Tournament tables are increasing and with our increasing membership, I expect tables to be up next year also.
Real Estate
The target date for the new building in Horn Lake, Mississippi is March 8, with the Library and Hall of Fame to be ready about a month later. Management is very pleased with the new building and hopes that anyone visiting the area will stop by once it is finished.
The ACBL is in good shape financially; however, both the 2009 and 2010 budgets show a loss. To keep the loss in 2010 under $70,000 the Board approved the following increases in fees.
1.Membership dues will increase from $35 to $37; this is the first increase in 4 or 5 years. Life Master Service charges will increase from $32 to $34. New member fees are increased from $26 to $28. The new member fee will take effect January 1, 2011. The other fees will start April 1, 2010.
2.Tournament director's fees will increase by 8% effective April 1, 2010.
Learn to play bridge
Due to popular demand, the Learn to Play Bridge software has been reprintedon CD format. The CDs are now again available for teachers and clubs to use as a handout tool to help encourage and promote learning how to play the game of bridge.
- The ACBL had a booth at the AARP convention, there were 24,100 attendees at the convention, it was a 3-day event and it is estimated that 25% of the attendees paid a visit to the ACBL booth. The ACBL has created a tradeshow strategy plan and if anyone knows of a large trade show you think we would be interested in, let me or the ACBL know.
- The ACBL now has a Facebook page and Twitter account if anyone would like to join.
- Election of the ACBL president will be moved to the fall meeting from the summer meeting.
- A motion passed that the 0-5000 mini-blue ribbon pairs be increased from four sessions to six sessions concurrent with the blue ribbon pairs.
- ACBL Honorary members of the year (2010) are Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. A very good selection in my opinion. They have generated lots of Publicity for Bridge over the years.
- The minimum number of boards required for a Newcomer Game is reduced to 6. Which will help teachers when then give lessons to new players?
- The Board eliminated the requirement to pre alert (5 card weak 2's and 6 card 3 level pre-empts) and undisciplined pre-empts. No one was doing this and it was not being enforced.
- 2010 will be a good year for bridge we have 3 good NABC's, Reno in March, New Orleans in July and Orlando in November. We also have an Open World Championship in Philadelphia Oct 1-16. I plan to attend all four tournaments; I will be looking forward to seeing as many of you as can make these great tournaments.
All the best

Approximately one in five eligible patients hospitalized for ACS do not receive guideline-recommended ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker therapies.
Guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association strongly recommend initiation and indefinite continuation of an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker in all patients recovering from ACS who have left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%, hypertension, type 2 diabetes or chronic kidney disease (CKD). The guideline also states that ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker therapy is reasonable and should be initiated in patients recovering from ACS who do not have any of the aforementioned risk factors.
"In an era where secondary prevention is paramount after ACS, it becomes imperative to ensure that appropriate medical therapy is initiated before discharge. Thus, additional quality improvement efforts focused on the use of [ACE inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker] therapy are warranted," Kevin R. Bainey, MD, MSc, of Mazankowski Albert Heart Institute at University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, and colleagues wrote.
Previous research demonstrated that a minority of patients recovering from ACS received an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker at discharge, so the researchers performed an observational analysis to examine prescription rates, temporal trends and factors that affect the use of these therapies. The study included 80,241 patients admitted with ACS and discharged from 311 hospitals participating in the Get With The Guidelines – Coronary Artery Disease Program from 2005 to 2009.
Of the 60,847 patients with LV dysfunction and history of HF, hypertension, diabetes or CKD, 81.7% received an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker at discharge.
Moreover, the rate of ACE inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker prescription increased during the study period, from 76.7% in 2005 to 84.6% in 2009.
In-hospital CABG (adjusted OR=0.55; 95% CI, 0.48-0.63) and renal insufficiency (adjusted OR=0.58; 95% CI, 0.52-0.64) were independently associated with lower ACE inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker use. Lower rates of ACE inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker use after CABG are "a persistent care gap that requires immediate attention," and recent research has shown that ACE inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker use after CABG is associated with improved clinical outcomes, the researchers wrote.
"Current evidence clearly supports the use of renin-angiotensin inhibitors in halting the progression of CKD," but physicians may be reluctant to prescribe them to patients with renal insufficiency "possibly because of the concerns of worsening renal failure and potentiating hyperkalemia," researcher Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH, executive director of interventional cardiovascular programs at Brigham and Women's Hospital Heart and Vascular Center and Cardiology Today's Intervention chief medical editor, and colleagues wrote. "Still, the risk is extremely low especially if the [glomerular filtration rate] is >40 mL/min per 1.732 and potassium is in the normal range."
Disclosure: The Get With The Guidelines – Coronary Artery Disease Program is supported in part by an unrestricted educational grant from Merck/Schering-Plough and Pfizer. See the full study for a list of the researchers' relevant financial disclosures.

I was very worried about joining an early morning run and breakfast last Sunday. My table manners are not the best. I was also afraid of blunders and gaffes that would cause speculation among my peers that my birthplace is a common farm building that houses cows.
I was one of sixteen people who went to breakfast at Italia Trattoria, pictured below, after a five-mile run. However, because I suffered a minor calf muscle tear a week earlier, I walked with another attendee, Eric Cameron, who's also recovering from an injury.
Pictured below is part of our group, enjoying breakfast and good conversation. Everyone is a member of the Manito Running Club, and most of us have been running together for a few years. Gary Lewis, who's wearing the long sleeve white tee, organized the event.
Things started off fairly well for me. I didn't cause a dishslide by tilting the table as I sat, and when I took a sip of orange juice, none dribbled onto my shirt. However, I dropped my napkin on the floor under the table, and when I reached for it, I bonked my head on the table, causing a clatter of dishes and silverware. Nothing fell or broke, and I laughed it off as most of the restaurant's patrons stared at me.
Only later did I realize I committed a minor faux pas. In the photo below, I'm wearing my coat and cap, which I failed to remove the whole time I was there. I also discovered that Lensa Etana, with the purple coat, and Julie Wilson, who's sitting across from her, put their coats on to support me, lending credibility to restaurant coat-wearing as if I were trying to start a new trend.
After our group shared an appetizer, my meal came, and the server warned the plate was hot. Though I heard his warning, it didn't fully register. The food looked so delicious and was so attractively arranged that I grabbed my plate and tilted it to show my friends. My hands were instantly seared, and when I dropped it on the table, really, really, hot sauce splashed in my face. It was like drops of molten lava hitting me. The pain was so intense that I let loose the loudest scream ever scrum by human vocal cords. The entire restaurant went silent.
It didn't take the manager ten seconds to come to the table, tell me he'd had enough, and point at the door. Leaving my spilled food untouched, I walked out of the morgue-like restaurant.
Later, I was heartened to learn that my fellow Manito Runners Club members, feeling bad about my misfortune, held a group toast, shouting out, "Jim Johnson – he's still an okay guy."

What are the ethical issues that anthropologists should consider when conducting research with people?
- print Print
- list Cite
Start with some definitions: anthropology covers a great many fields, but a general definition could be that anthropology "deals with all that is characteristic of the human experience." Ethics, as in ethical issues, deals with "rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group."
Keeping these definitions in mind, anthropologists should approach research with people as keen observers, noting and recording actions, interactions, and outcomes following such encounters objectively and interpreting the meaning of such observations without personal biases or beliefs.
Anthropologists should not interfere with the people or experiences they are observing. They should not create situations in which the subjects are likely or forced to act in ways that would be different from what would be chosen if they were not being observed. Anthropologists should not influence thoughts or actions by anything they do or say; their goal is to observe the subjects and learn about the ways in which the subjects live through those direct lessons without any external impact that might change the subjects or the way in which they are living, thinking, and acting.

Hearing loss and falls: the vital steps for preventing injury
It's common knowledge – especially to those of us with ageing parents – that falls are a very real danger to older Australians.
Our sense of balance will inevitably weaken over time if left unchecked. Rather than serving as a natural instinct, it becomes a skill that needs to be practiced and put into regular use to stay strong.
This decline is an enormous worry to our ageing population. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, more than 83,000 people over 65 were admitted to hospital after a fall between 2009-2010, with an average stay of two weeks.
This risk can frequently prove fatal. Falls are a major cause of injury-related death, which claims more lives than traffic accidents, and almost as much as skin cancer.
Poor vision, nutritional deficiencies and certain medications can all potentially increase the risk. Yet one of the biggest contributing factors could – in many cases – be preventable.
The link between hearing and falls
An alarming 2012 study revealed that those with even mild hearing loss are three times likely to have a history of falling.
Our sense of hearing declines with age just as naturally as our sense of balance. It can happen just as gradually over the years, often without being noticed – but the consequences of ignoring it can be devastating.
Dr. Frank Lin, Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who led the study, said that hearing loss causes not only a lack of environmental awareness, but also an overworked, more easily distracted mind.
"Gait are balance are things most people take for granted," said Professor Lin, "but they are actually very cognitively demanding".
"If hearing loss imposes a cognitive load, there may be fewer cognitive resources to help with maintaining balance and gait.
This study serves as a powerful wake-up call to anybody who suspects their sense of hearing may be declining. Not only could inaction increase the risk of cognitive illnesses and depression; it's placing many Australians in real physical danger.
How to minimise risk of falls
To those eager to take proactive, preventative action – or those concerned for a loved one at risk – the following four steps could prove vital:
- Exercise regularly, with a particular focus on balance-based activities.
- Review your medicines with your doctor to ensure nothing is contributing to dizziness or tiredness.
- Get a vision check-up at least once per year.
- Get a hearing check-up at least once per year.
This last step is perhaps the most easily overlooked. It can frequently take years for those with hearing loss to get a professional check-up.
If necessary, hearing aids can go a long way in countering the risk; not only in providing that essential environmental awareness, but also in freeing up the cognitive capacity required for balance.
A quick check-up – booked here and now – can go a long way in providing both safety and peace of mind in the years to come

Odisha gets response from 9 private entities to set up a IIIT in partnership with the state and the central government
Following is an excerpt from an article in Telegraph.
Official sources said nine private agencies have submitted an expression of interest for the ambitious project that would be undertaken in the public-private partnership (PPP) mode.
According to the proposal, setting up the institute involves an expenditure of Rs 128 crore of which Rs 54 crore will be provided by the Centre. The state government will invest Rs 45 crore and the remaining amount will be contributed by the private agency that takes up the project. The institute will come up on 50 acres allocated by the state government free of cost.
Commissioner-cum-secretary of the state information technology department Pradeep Kumar Jena said the proposal would be sent to the Centre after a private partner for the venture was finalised.
"The location (of the institute) will be decided by the private concern," said Jena. He said the aim of the institute would be to provide state-of-the-art facilities to produce professionals in the field of information technology.
Since the state is putting 45 crores and giving 50 acres free land, it should pick the private entity that agrees to the earlier announced location of Berhampur.

Organisers said on Wednesday they may switch the Australian Grand Prix to a dedicated circuit to keep the race after the expiry of its current contract.
Australian Grand Prix Corporation chairman Ron Walker has identified a site for a purpose-built track at Avalon on the southwestern outskirts of Melbourne.
The Australian race has been staged on a street circuit in Albert Park on the fringes of Melbourne's city centre since 1996, but mounting financial losses have raised doubts about the future of the event.
Organisers have a contract with Formula One ring-master Bernie Ecclestone for an Australian race in Melbourne until after 2015, but a new permanent circuit is viewed as one way of keeping the event.
Last year's Melbourne race posted its biggest loss in five years, costing taxpayers in the state of Victoria nearly $50 million, which prompted Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle to call for the event to be scrapped.
In response, Ecclestone said: "If we have some new races, some others will fall out -- we don't need Australia, for instance."
Walker said he would approach the Victorian state government after this weekend's Australian GP to investigate the possibility of moving the event to Avalon.
"Now that Mr Ecclestone has raised the issue again, maybe we might go to Avalon and look at the plans," Walker told the Autosport website on Wednesday.
"It is a lot of money to build it, but then again the government has Aus$1 billion invested in the (Melbourne) Tennis Centre."
"If you take the interest rate of that, it is slightly more than the grand prix costs. So, there are various ways of cutting the cat.
"It would take about three years to build, and the decision would have to be made next year, or as part of the new contract from 2015 going forward. It is something that we will raise with the government very soon after the race."
Walker said he was confident the Australian GP would continue beyond the contract date.
"I think it is very secure," Walker said. "There is a five-year option there that goes either way, and Mr Ecclestone recognises that this is a great city to come to.
"It is like Montreal. They lost it, and then they turned around and wanted to get it back. It is one of these things that advertises the city on free to air television... it is an amazing sport to help publicise the city."
