Hurricane Sandy and Reflections On Preparedness
Hurricane Sandy has us all thinking about natural disasters and how to prepare for them. Since we live in a very rural area, we always have emergency supplies on hand, as a snowstorm or even a large tree that falls across the road could mean days without electricity or the ability to get out for provisions. However, we understand that most people don't feel they need to take these sorts of precautions. After all, the grocery store is only a few minutes away, right?
No matter where you live, there is always the possibility that you may need emergency supplies. Snowstorms, flooding, high winds, and earthquakes can happen almost anywhere, and while we may not feel the need to stock up on supplies until danger is imminent, it's always best to have some things on hand just in case.
The Joy of Cooking is not only a fantastic resource for recipes and reference information, but it also contains a fair amount of "desert island" reference material. We may chuckle at the old JOY illustrations on how to skin a squirrel, but there are times and places where squirrel meat could mean the difference between going to bed full or hungry.
Emergency water purification is one JOY preparedness gem to learn by heart, or at least know where to find it. Ideally, you should have on hand a supply of potable (drinking) water. Each person in your household will need one gallon for every two days--that's 3 1/2 gallons per week per person. However, if you do not have drinking water on hand in an emergency, there are several ways of purifying it.
If you have a camp stove, fireplace, or camp fire that you can use to heat things, you may boil water vigorously for 5 minutes to sterilize it. Alternatively, you may wish to have water purification tablets on hand. These tablets contain iodine or chlorine, and they should be used as instructed on the label. Finally, you may add household bleach (bleach that does not contain any fragrances, soaps, or other additives) to purify water. Use 8 drops bleach per gallon of clear water, or 16 drops for cloudy water. Stir the water and allow it to sit for 30 minutes before drinking. The water will have a distinct chlorine taste and odor. If it does not, add another dose of bleach and wait 15 minutes. If the water still does not smell chlorinated, the chlorine in your bleach may have weakened through age, and the water is not safe to drink.
For cooking, a small, propane camp stove is an excellent back-up cooking implement. While surviving on prepared and packaged foods is certainly possible, having at least one hot meal a day (or a way to make hot tea or coffee) will boost morale considerably, especially in chilly weather.
Also be sure to have a supply of lighters and matches in a waterproof container, candles or kerosene lamps, a utility knife, and a first-aid kit. If you burn yourself while cooking on a camp stove or over a fire (or on any occasion, really), submerge the burned area in cold water for 10 minutes. This hastens the release of heat trapped deep inside the skin. Once the burn has cooled, dry it off and apply petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to the area. For the record, Vaseline does not heal the burn--it is simply a barrier between the burn and the environment. It keeps bacteria from coming into contact with your skin, and it keeps the burn moist, which will encourage healing and prevent blisters. Do not apply Vaseline to a burn until you have cooled it in cold water for at least 10 minutes or it can trap heat inside the burn. As the burn heals, keep it constantly moist with petroleum jelly. Our favorite burn treatment, however, is colloidal silver. We like to keep a bottle of this on hand, as it is especially suited to healing burns, and it has antibacterial properties to boot. Of course, you can use aloe as well.
When cooking on a camp stove, choose foods that cook quickly. Instant rice, rolled oats, orzo, elbow macaroni, couscous, instant potatoes, and quick-cooking ramen or rice noodles are excellent meal components that are easily enhanced by freeze-dried spice and soup mixes, vegetable flakes, and canned meat or fish. Remember to never use a propane stove in an enclosed area.
Finally, have some energy-rich basics on hand. Peanut butter (not the "natural" kind, as its shelf life isn't as long; you may also consider purchasing some of the dehydrated peanut butter that is now on the market), granola and granola bars, dried fruit and nuts, chocolate, and jerky are some good items to have in an emergency stash. You may also wish to have some dry mixes on hand for pancakes, biscuits, or scones that can be made by simply adding water. Dried beans and grains can be good pantry staples, but be sure to keep them in airtight glass jars to keep out moths, weevils, and other insects. Be sure to also have a supply of iodized salt or electrolyte powder on hand--salt is necessary for your diet, and it can help with potentially bland emergency food. Also remember to rotate these foods out by periodically cooking and replacing them to keep your stores fresh.
On a somewhat lighter note, the adults among you may see fit to keep a healthy store of alcohol on hand--vodka, rum, tequila, gin, and brandy are all very shelf-stable, are safe to drink, and can lift the spirits in times of duress.

A little bit of forethought
A little bit of forethought makes a big difference when the lights go out.
It is also a good idea to keep some extra charcoal or propane on hand. That grill will be your best friend when a snow laden tree limb takes out the power for a few days.
Of all the things the Boy Scouts could have used as a motto, "Be Prepared" is always good advice.
The advice about treating a
The advice about treating a burn with petroleum jelly- or anything oil-based is bogus. Mustard, aloe, burn-aids, or even mud (in a real pinch), are your best friends for a burn.
One thing we learned the hard
One thing we learned the hard way after Sandy: Even if you are able to drive to the grocery store, that won't help if the store lost electricity. When people argue, "I live in the city. The grocery store is a block away," they don't realize stores are required to throw out food when they lose power. It's a powerful wake up call when you walk into the store and see every last shelf in the refrigerated and frozen sections empty. Completely empty. Until that day, my husband thought I was being Chicken Little with all of my preparedness talk. When we got home, he was thankful for my stash of powdered milk so he could have a simple bowl of cereal. Since then, my husband learned I was also right about another lesson: Once the storm warning comes out, it's already too late to stock up. Everyone else will be raiding the shelves for nonperishable foods and other supplies. That especially holds true if you're in an area that took a major hit from any kind of storm in recent years. People remember their failure to prepare the last time, and panic sets in with a vengeance.

The preparation for the Cali World Cup entered its third day with the sprinters doing some plyometrics to help wake up their bodies and get ready for training. Stephane Cossette (QC), Monique Sullivan (AB), and Joseph Veloce (ON) were the first ones to the track to warm up before launching in to 250 and 500 meter efforts. According to Cossette, the sprint team is "putting in some fast times and we are gaining confidence every day that we are here." They will be joined by the final team member Travis Smith (AB) tonight.
The team has been enjoying exclusive track time; however, with official training times having started they are now on track for half the time and with three times more people. The 10 Canadian riders shared the track with the US and Belgian riders and Zach Bell (YK), who last year attended World Cups with 2-3 teammates, commented that "I thought I would never see (a World Cup) were we are the largest team on the track."
Work for the endurance riders was focused on team pursuit with efforts at race pace and working on exchanges while the track was still relatively unpopulated. Bell is impressed with the improvements the team is making on a daily basis and "there is a sense of excitement that is starting to show in training and people seem to be pushing performances as we draw closer to the racing."
The three days of racing begin on Thursday, December 10th, 2009.

Students partner with Mayo Clinic during experiential research project
March 31, 2014
By Michael Hemmesch '97
Mayo Clinic describes itself as "a nonprofit worldwide leader in medical care, research and education for people from all walks of life." So, it certainly is unique that an organization of that stature turns to undergraduate students from local colleges for help in researching complex scientific and business projects.
Four seniors at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University recently concluded their participation in the Mayo Innovation Scholars Program (MISP).
The interdisciplinary program provides research opportunities to teams of undergraduates from Minnesota private colleges, under the guidance of select graduate students.
The CSB and SJU students worked on a project on campus throughout the 2013-14 academic year, and presented their findings in March at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and in a written report. On average, each student put in roughly 150 hours of work during the program.
CSB senior biology major Megan Bollin (St. Louis Park, Minn.), CSB senior communication major Olivia Kalkman (Eagan, Minn.), SJU senior management major Chase Keimig (Madison, Minn.) and CSB senior biology major Shannon Stein (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) presented research on a project titled "Urinary CNP as a Diagnostic Test for Renal Disease."
The students worked on the project with Mayo Clinic Ventures, an office which works closely with Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists to mine inventions, ideas and discoveries that will transform health care.
Student reflections on outcomes
After the presentation, the students described their experience and its benefits.
"The Mayo Innovation Scholars Program has proved to be a wonderful opportunity for my professional growth and has helped me to broaden my skill set," Kalkman said. "It further reinforced my interest in a career in the health care industry and has provided me with the experience to pursue my career goals. I have learned how to research and develop a real-life business report and how to work better in an interdisciplinary team. It is an accomplished feeling knowing that our work will be used at Mayo Clinic for future endeavors."
The students also spoke highly of the program's interdisciplinary approach.
"Being a part of the MISP has definitely had a positive impact on me," Stein said. "It was a great experience and I feel that I am much more marketable because I have this experience. It's a great talking point and I have pride in this accomplishment. I have learned a lot about working in a team, and also a bit about working in the real world because this wasn't a school program and I will be able to apply these skills to future ambitions."
"This program played a large role in influencing my decision to go into the medical device industry where I will have the ability to use my science background as well as explore the business aspect as well," Bollin said. "The chance to work as part of an interdisciplinary team has proven to be one of the most valuable parts of my academic career."
"The Mayo Innovation Scholars Program allowed me to further my career interest in the field of healthcare," Keimig said. "The program also allowed me to use specific concepts from my various courses and apply them to a real-world situation. Our project was quite ambiguous; however, working with students from various backgrounds and majors creates an opportunity for a wide array of opinions and strategies to be used in the process of reaching a goal."
Support and praise from advisers
They were supported by Brianne Hamm, current MBA student at the University of St. Thomas. Lisa Lindgren, associate professor of global business leadership at CSB and SJU; and Jennifer Schaefer, assistant professor of biology at CSB and SJU, served as project advisers. Laura Hammond, assistant director of experiential learning and community engagement at CSB and SJU, provided administrative support.
"This year's team did a great job of responsibly evaluating a complicated project and providing a clear explanation of their conclusions," Schaefer said. "It was exciting to watch them realize that they could provide valuable input that would influence the future directions of product development and research at the Mayo Clinic."
"This program breeds excellent leadership skills for the students as well, not just the graduate team leader," Hamm said. "Successful leadership is about inspiring new leaders, not creating followers. I was blessed to have a motivated team of students that all took the initiative to be leaders in their areas of project responsibilities."
MISP aims to assist Mayo Clinic in the assessment of new product submissions by Mayo researchers, provide research opportunities for undergraduate science and business students and provide leadership development and research opportunities for MBA students.
"For me, a very valuable aspect is that students from very different academic backgrounds and disciplines work together to form a recommendation," Lindgren said. "In order to do so, they must learn something of the other discipline. In addition, it is a confidence-building process. By the time they present, they truly are experts and feel confident in their work and recommendation."
"MISP allows students the opportunity to work across disciplines to apply theories and concepts to a real-world, innovative project from the world-renowned Mayo Clinic," Hammond said. "With the mentorship of their faculty advisers, this research-intensive experience, coupled with a culminating presentation to Mayo staff members, pushes students to use and realize the talents and knowledge they've gained at CSB and SJU."
The program was designed in 2006 by John Meslow, a retired Medtronic executive. Together with Mayo Clinic Ventures and the Minnesota Private College Council (MPCC), Meslow created a unique program to place students from a variety of disciplines at the interface of innovations in science and medicine and the fields of intellectual property, marketing and business development.
Staff members from Mayo Clinic were impressed by the quality of the students' work, saying the students did a tremendous job researching cutting-edge material and posing the right questions at the end of the presentation for future research and development.
In total, there were nine presentations over two days by MPCC member institutions.
Now in its eighth year, MISP continues to be an innovative model for student experiential learning. Financial support for MISP is provided by the Medtronic Foundation. Additional funding and support comes from Mayo Clinic, MPCC, CSB and SJU.

Christian Conservatives Consider Third-Party Effort
Alarmed at the chance that the Republican party might pick Rudolph Giuliani as its presidential nominee despite his support for abortion rights, a coalition of influential Christian conservatives is threatening to back a third-party candidate in an attempt to stop him.
(from Caucus, the NYT political blog)
For fifteen years I've heard dire predictions that the GOP would split as a result of the uneasy alliance between the the corporate and social conservatives. Never happened. I kind of doubt it will happen this time, either. But we can hope.
If nothing else, the Dobsons are sending a clear message to the kingmakers in the GOP, and at the same time hamstringing their most electable candidate. Pass the popcorn.

Christian Conservatives Consider Third-Party Effort

You, being so partisan, should think more clearly about this stuff. If the Christian conservatives go third-party, then you've blown the biggest lead Democrats have ever had.ReplyDelete
If the Christian right goes away for the primaries, then Guiliani wins the primaries. Then you go general against him, in which he looks unbeatable right now.
I understand that your thinking is that the CR takes it all the way through to the general election, and I concede that chance, but Rudy G is still a bigger obstacle than Romney or McCain in my estimation.
First of all, I did say that I think this is probably an empty threat -- to mount a third-party challenge, that is.ReplyDelete
The nature of the possibility is, I think, less threatening than you suggest. The threat to mount a third-party challenger was conditioned on Rudy *already having won* the GOP nomination.
Think of this as a Nader on the Right. If the Fundies and the corporate conservatives split their vote between Rudy and the Third-prety-to-be-named-later, I would expect that to give an easy win to the Democrat.
Interesting that you describe Rudy as "unbeatable" in the general, though. That would not be my analysis at all. Presuming a standard two-party race, I don't see Rudy as winning easy, or even winning at all. Granted, he is by far the most dangerous of the GOP candidates in the general. No disagreement there. He has some residual social-liberal credibility to appeal to moderates. But he risks losing the social conservative vote -- if they are demoralized enough to stay home, he'll lose the margin that put Bush in office twice.
Right now, the most recent polls I have seen on the national scale put Hillary ahead of Rudy by seven points overall and eleven points among moderates. Yeah, yeah, thirteen months from the election, that is pretty meaningless, but I find it encouraging.
It's disappointing to me that I am seeing Obama's star fading a bit and Hillary looking more and more ascendant every day. I can live with her, but she is so not my first choice.
Guiliani would not be the best candidate for the Republicans. He has spent enough time acting as a pro-war candidate who is real sorry about hanging out with all of those sissy liberals to get anyone on the left.ReplyDelete
I actually think Guiliani books SC, AR, SC, & LA in play for Hillary.
Also, Guiliani will be Swift Boated by the 9/11 Fire Fighters.
Matt, why do you think Guiliani looks unbeatable? I mean, Hillary shouldn't stop campaigning or anything, but polls showing her kicking his ass doesn't exactly make him look unbeatable.
BTW, I also think the immediate invassion of Iran is a good reason not to vote for him. I know the topic is the horse race, but I thought I'd add that.
Finally, I really wish Obama would do something. Edwards has basically given up by accepting matching funds. So, Obama is the only non-Hillary option for President.
Obama, strangely, stopped actually running for president a few weeks ago but never actually announced it.ReplyDelete
From Gallup: "Rudy Giuliani has led the field of Republican candidates for the 2008 presidential nomination in every Gallup Poll since January. In the most recent nationwide poll of Republicans, 30% name Giuliani as their first choice for the party's nomination, giving him an eight-point lead over second place Fred Thompson"
"Giuliani is the most positively rated candidate of either party, with a 59% favorable rating in the latest Gallup survey."
"the three leading Democratic candidates are only about evenly matched with him in national test elections. Clinton, Edwards, and Obama are all statistically even with Giuliani in a hypothetical trial heat ballot."

I prefer female protagonists and this series of posts is homage to some of the most formidable female main characters in science fiction novels or series.
I am still taking suggestions, there is a list of the ones taken at the end.
I would like to thank you all for your suggestions; I love new books to read especially about formidable female protagonists. Here are this week's
- Maria Isabella Boyd – Air Detective (Cherrie Priest)
- Podkayne 'Poddy' Fries – Modern Girl? (Robert Heinlein)
- Imelda – Scientific Detective (Ella Mack)
- Margaret "Meg" Murry O'Keefe – Time traveler (Madeleine L'Engle)
- Darwi 'Dar' Odrade – Sea Child (Frank Herbert)
Maria Isabella 'Belle' Boyd – Air Detective
Books: Clementine (2010)
Series: Clockwork Century 2 (or 1.5)
Author: Cherie Priest
Genre: Steampunk
Publisher: Subterrean Press
Maria or Bella Boyd used to be a Confederate Spy before she became a famous entertainer and abandoned by her former employer. As a last resort she takes employment at the Pinkerton detective agency and is immediately sent on a mission involving the airship Clementine we know from Boneshaker, a super weapon, conspiracy and heavily armed air pirates. Lovely book and an interesting character I would like to see more of. A review will be along shortly.
Podkayne 'Poddy' Fries – Modern Girl?
Books: Podkayne of Mars (1963)
Author: Robert A: Heinlein
Genre: Classic Science Fiction
Publisher: Putnam, Goldmann, Berkley, NEL, Ace, Baen
Read Podkayne of Mars years ago to, I remember I enjoyed it but not much more, another one to the alarmingly high to-read pile.
Podkayne Fries, born and raised on Mars, has just one ambition: to earn her wings as a starship pilot and rise through the ranks to command deep-space explorations. The opportunity to travel aboard the Tricorn- on an interstellar journey to Venus and Earth in the company of her diplomat uncle-is a dream come true.
Poddy's idea of diplomacy is keeping the peace with her troublesome brother, Clark, but she's about to learn some things about war and peace. Because her uncle is the Ambassador from Mars to the Three Planets Conference, which makes him-and his niece and nephew-potential targets for any radicals looking to sabotage the negotiations between three worlds.
Imelda – Scientific Detective
Books: Scuzzworms
Author: Ella Mack
Genre: Hard Science Fiction
Publisher: Third Millennium Publishing
New to me but you can read sfsite's review here.
A science fiction detective novel for those who like science. And scientists.
"Maladaptation. This whole planet is a glorious example of maladaptation. No floods, no holocausts, just unchanging climate and benevolent conditions. The entire ecology down there is as fragile as a butterfly's wings." Becoming an exobiologist wasnt meant to be easy. Watching alien creatures squirming about in alien muck from the safe side of a video screen can become tedious after awhile, that is, unless youve got no place else to go. Then it becomes your lifes work, even if the scenery does get a bit, um, disgusting at times. Imelda isnt your average exobiologist, however, and Iago IV isnt your average planet. Iago IV has never heard of Darwin.
Margaret "Meg" Murry O'Keefe – Time traveler
Books: A Wrinkle in Time (1962), A Wind in the Door (1973), A Swiftly Tilting Planet (1978)
Omnibus: The Time Quartet (1-4, 2003)
Series: Meg Murry/Time Quartet part of the Kairos Series
Author: Madeleine L'Engle
Genre: YA Science FAntasy | Time Travel
Publisher: 'Farrar, Straus and Giroux', Dell, Puffin, Square Fish
This one is new to me but I wish I knew about it when my son was younger or even when I was young(er). She also appears in later books in the Kairos series that continues with her younger siblings and later with her children.
In book one Meg Murry and her friends become involved with unearthly strangers and a search for Meg's father, who has disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government. Then in book two with Meg Murry's help, the dragons her six-year-old brother saw in the vegetable garden play an important part in his struggle between life and death. Then in book three the youngest of the Murry children must travel through time and space in a battle against an evil dictator who would destroy the entire universe.
Darwi 'Dar' Odrade – Sea Child
Books: Heretics of Dune (1984), Chapterhouse: Dune (1985)
Series: Dune
Author: Frank Herbert
Genre: Space Opera
Publisher: Gollancz, NEL, Putnam, Berkley, Ace
I read the books back in 1986 and don't remember much but I put them on my to-read pile, my copies are pristine NEL prints. This is mostly about the conflict between the Bene Gesserit and the Honored Matres. Odrade is an elite Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother. The name "Odrade" is derived from the Atreides, whose bloodline she possesses thanks to the Bene Gesserit breeding program.
