Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Surgery
by Patricia Griffin Kellicker, BSN
An open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a type of surgery used to fix broken bones. This is a 2-part surgery. First, the broken bone is reduced or put back into place. Next, an internal fixation device is placed on the bone. This can be done with screws, plates, rods, or pins that are used to hold the broken bone together.
Reasons for Procedure
This surgery is done to repair fractures that would not heal correctly with casting or splinting alone.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Problems may include:
Before the procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Your risk of complications may be increased if you have a history of blood clots.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
General anesthesia may be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep during the surgery. In some cases, a spinal anesthetic, or more rarely a local block, may be used to numb only the area where the surgery will be done. This will depend on where the fracture is located and the time it will take to perform the procedure.
Description of Procedure
Each ORIF surgery differs based on the location and type of fracture. In general, a breathing tube may be placed to help you breathe while you are asleep. Then, the surgeon will wash your skin with an antiseptic and make an incision. Next, the broken bone will be put back into place. Next, a plate with screws, a pin, or a rod that goes through the bone will be attached to the bone to hold the broken parts together. The incision will be closed with staples or stitches. A dressing and/or cast will then be applied.

Immediately After Procedure
After your surgery, you will be taken to the recovery room for observation. Your blood pressure and breathing will be monitored. Your pulse and the nerves close to the broken bone will also be checked.
How Long Will It Take?
An ORIF surgery can take several hours depending on the fracture and the bone involved.
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the surgery can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. Your length of stay will depend on your surgery. You may be in the hospital for 1-7 days.
Post-procedure Care
At the Hospital
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
At Home
Before you leave the hospital, you will need to arrange for a ride home. Arrange to get help at home from friends and family until you can manage on your own.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Call Your Doctor

Farm-safety expert urges precautions to limit skid-steer accidents
In response to a tragic, four-state, two-week series of fatal accidents involving agricultural producers and skid-steer loaders, a farm-safety expert in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences is calling for operators to take precautions.
The four fatalities have occurred since mid-February in New York, Minnesota, Indiana and Wisconsin, according to Dennis Murphy, distinguished professor of agricultural safety and health. He noted that the accidents all had certain factors in common.

The historically black community of Liberty City is the only neighborhood in Miami-Dade County where population has declined in the past 10 years. Many residents have become homeless or been forced to move, opening the neighborhood to gentrification. Instead of waiting for the city government to solve the housing shortage, local activist Max Rameau and a core group of organizers began meeting with Liberty City residents, many of them homeless, to talk about housing issues in the neighborhood. Out of these weekly meetings, the blueprint for Umoja Village—"Unity" in the East African language of Kiswahili—was formed. On October 23, 2006, homeless residents and organizers erected a shantytown on public land at the corner of 62nd Street and NW 17th Avenue. Once the site of low-income apartments, the lot had been vacant since the building was demolished by the city in 1998. By reclaiming this lot for low-income housing, Umoja established a direct link between the people and the land, and staked out their right to stay in the neighborhood. Starting with 10 full-time residents, the village quickly grew to a maximum capacity of 50 people. A drug- and alcohol-free zone from the beginning, Umoja offered a safe space to put down roots and work for a communal cause. Makeshift homes built from plywood, cardboard, tarps, and donated mattresses soon filled the lot in neat rows. Some walls were covered in colorful murals or marked with messages supporting Umoja's mission for "Housing Now." "Liberty Café" served as a gathering spot and communal kitchen, stocked with donated food, where villagers cooked over oil drum grills and washed dishes in buckets of soapy water. Within two weeks of opening, the once-homeless residents had taken almost complete control of the day-to-day operations of their new home, growing food, piecing together a library of donated books, and deciding in weekly meetings how to settle disagreements and distribute resources. Umoja Village directly confronted and, for 50 individuals, provided a solution to the problem of homelessness. But the impact of the village has much deeper roots and implications. Amanda Seaton, one of the core organizers of the project, explains, "Throughout the [African] diaspora, there is a history of people not controlling or owning the land that they live on." Fighting for justice is difficult without the dignity that comes from being able to meet basic needs. And that ability, Umoja residents and organizers believe, is rooted in land and in community. As one resident stated, "I want to be a man again. I want to be able to come home from work and be in a house and be a man with my family and feel like a man again instead of going somewhere else and feeling like a burden." In April 2007, a tipped candle ignited a fire that destroyed Umoja Village. The land is once again vacant, this time surrounded by a fence, though the Umoja community still hopes to see permanent housing built on the site. A new project spearheaded by Max Rameau is petitioning the city of Miami to build 123,564 new units of affordable housing by the year 2025. Meanwhile, many of the residents and activists continue to meet each Sunday to cook a meal together, maintaining the community support generated by the village. As Max declared on the morning after the fire, "We're going to make sure that even if [the residents are] not here physically, they're going to have Umoja with them wherever they're at." Interested?

Although experts agree that driving ability begins deteriorating around the age of 55, drivers have widely differing skills. While some drivers continue to drive safely well into their older years, studies show the crash rate per mile driven rises steadily for drivers age 65 and older.
Older drivers have fewer collisions because they drive less and at less dangerous times. However, when they are in a crash, it can be serious.
Holidays, bad weather and illness are a few reasons the blood supply often drops to critical levels during the winter months. But a stable supply is necessary to ensure blood is available when patients need it most.

Top 10 Healthy Habits for Kids
Do you want your kids to eat more fruits and vegetables? Do you want to teach them healthy habits? Getting your kids to eat more fruits and vegetables starts by teaching them to love real food and the natural tastes and textures fruits and vegetables provide. You can do this by serving a variety of fruits and veggies in a variety of ways. We also want them to have a healthy relationship with food! We don't focus, demonize, or exclude foods or food group at Super Healthy Kids. Instead we celebrate what healthy foods can do for us and how they can make us feel.
Serving fruits or vegetables in different forms, textures, and temperatures will actually help children develop a mature palate, which is more accepting to a wider variety of new foods. Training kids tastes and appetites will help them develop a love of real food. Don't hesitate to offer fruits and veggies fresh, frozen, dried, canned, juiced, pureed, blended, etc! If you're still not convinced you can do it, join our membership page, and we'll give you loads of recipes to give kids everything they need!
Studies have shown that kids who eat the recommended amount of fruits and veggies
- Have Improved immunity
- Maintain a healthier weight
- Have better vision and skin
- Have healthier gums and teeth.
- Have more energy to play
- Have a preference for healthier food!
- Have better brain function.
- Have better sleep.
- Plus, live longer!
We love the focus on fruits and veggies for our kids as a way to teach them healthy habits. Not only does it encourage a positive relationship with food by focusing on what they should be eating, without sending negative food messages that often is accompanied by guilt and shame.
If you want to include all these ideas in your families weekly routine, check out our meal planning site! It's an easy way to get a variety of fruits and vegetables that will teach your kids not to be picky any longer!
10 Most Important Healthy Habits for Kids
Along with the focus on fruits and veggies, we have comprised 10 Top Pillars of Health we find important! With so much conflicting information, and so many different steps you can take towards a childs good health, we feel like these ten things have the most impact and have been supported by the most science!
- Eat less sugar! The average child gets 16% of their total calories from added sugars, a whopping 10 teaspoons per day! Added sugar has been linked to childhood obesity, chronic diseases, behavior problems, and more! Keep this number between 0-5%!
- Make half your meal fruits and vegetables! Increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables in all their forms and varieties have been linked to stronger immunity, lower incidences of cancer, lower weight and more! A balanced meal comes naturally when kids consume half their meal fruits and veggies! Kids who eat fruits and veggies at every meal are filling up on high fiber, high nutrient, low calorie foods, in the right portions.
- Eat a variety of proteins! Protein is vital to children's growing brains and bodies! Protein isn't only obtained from chicken! Seafood, poultry, lean beef, eggs, dairy, beans, peas, nuts, and seeds are all good protein sources and should all be included in a child's diet.
- Include fish once per week. Fish is high in omega 3 fats, like DHA, which is vital for brain development. In addition, omega 3's are being linked to reduced inflammation in patients with asthma, arthritis, and eczema. Low consumption of Omega 3's is common in kids and is a risk factor for disease and behavior problems.
- Choose whole grains! You can still eat whole grains! But don't let this be a reason to exclusively feed your kids bread 7-11 times per day. Instead, there are delicious alternatives that are much better for them. Brown rice, millet, barley, wild rice, bulgur, etc.
- Stick to 4 meals per day! Kids who are allowed to graze on food all day, do not have the appetite or desire to try new foods. It's OK for children to be hungry, and even encouraged! When mealtime comes, they will be less picky and healthy food will actually taste better.
- Limit sodium. Kids should eat less than 1500mg of sodium per day, a little more than 1/2 teaspoon. Too much sodium puts children at risk for high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, and even kidney disease. Being vigilant about checking labels and avoid adding salt where possible, in favor of herbs and spices is an easy way to stay below the recommendation.
- Limit processed foods. Processed foods are any foods you find that are pre-made, packaged, and often require chemicals, food dyes, preservatives, added fats, and added sugars just to be able to keep it on the store shelves without getting spoiled. Children who eat and have access to processed foods eat less fruits and vegetables and develop eating habits that lead to obesity and poor health. Making your food from scratch, planning your meals, shopping the perimeter of the store, and growing your own foods are easy ways to eliminate the need for processed foods.
- Drink Water! Water is vital for children. The major source for added sugar for children is sugar sweetened beverages. Sugar sweetened beverages have been blamed for many of the health problems plaguing children today, including childhood obesity. These beverages also replace foods that have nutrients and fiber, which children need to grow.
- Sleep well and play hard! When kids spend their day playing outside, rather than in front of a screen, they sleep better, they have less behavior problems, they are happier and even have better self image.
We believe that as you teach these things to your children, implement them into daily living, and let it be a part of your life, your kids will be healthier, happier, and they will learn the habits necessary for lifetime wellness!

Sunday Sweets: Leaping Lego Lizards, Batman!
I've got a Geektastic Sunday Sweet for you this week: the cake made for the Lego Batman video game premier. These photos come from creator Elisa Strauss over at Confetti Cakes, who reports that the cake took her and her team 12 straight days to complete, and weighed in at nearly 300 pounds. Three hundred pounds, people! So, you ready to see it?
Here ya go: get a load of the Gotham goodness:
Yep, it's all cake - vanilla cake, chocolate cake, and red velvet cake, to be precise. Don't you just want to gnaw off that water tower? Or is that just me?
Let's move in for a closer look, shall we?
See, now this is the stuff you never notice from a distance: there's an oil slick puddle on the side, and the trash bags are even shiny!
I'm starting to see why this took 12 days...
The water towers are wood-grained, and the "stone" is even chipped in places. Wowza.
I know you're going to find this hard to believe ('cuz I sure did), but the figures are also completely edible. Honest.
Who wouldn't want the whole set on their desk, though? Kinda makes you wonder if anyone had the heart to eat them...
If you want to see more of Elisa's work, you're in luck: her new book Confetti Cakes for Kids comes out in just a few weeks. Her cover cake is "monstrously" appropriate for this month, too:

Let's start with Susan's questions. (You can read hers here.)
Do acrylic rulers wear out? Absolutely! I've had mine for somewhere around four years. Its edge has seen much happier days. One corner is broken off. I've actually dinged it with my rotary cutter. The one I had before that sadly bit the dust as well. I am definitely taking advantage of the 50% off quilting supplies sale going on now at JoAnn's and getting myself a new one -- I've needed it for a while now, and there's no reason to wait any longer!
Here's why:
(1). I cut my yardage folded in half -- folding it basically the same way it comes on the bolt. Quilting fabric is about 44" wide. If you line up the folded edge on the 1" line of your smaller mat (has to be on the 1" line and not the 0 line, or you can't see the numbers and registration lines!), the selvage edge ends up covering the numbers on the other side -- in most cases. You don't want to cut blind. Yes, you CAN peek under the edge of your fabric to line up your ruler and still get a decent cut. But you risk moving your fabric out of alignment. Or, you could fold your fabric again and cut. But the more you fold your fabric for cutting, the more you run the risk of ending up with lines that aren't straight.
(2). On the larger mat you can do more rows of cutting without disturbing your fabric -- lifting and moving it so you can do additional cuts. The less you have to move your fabric, the more confident you can be that you are cutting accurately.
So, maybe it sounds like my reasons are purely for laziness. But I think using the larger mat saves time and headache. And it's pretty much a one-time purchase. Your mat will last you for years.
Will anything bad happen if you decide to use a smaller mat? I doubt it. If smaller is what you have, use it. If smaller is easier on your budget, go for it.
What brand of cutting mat is best?
I've only used two brands: Olfa and Fiskars. My first mat was an Olfa (they are the green ones) -- and it actually warped and buckled at the lines where I cut most often. This could be the result of obsessive over-use! :o) I now have Fiskars brand mats (mine are grey), and have used them for YEARS. I love them. I have never had a problem with them.
Where do I get sewing machine feet, and how do I know they will work with my machine?
First -- My machine is not a fancy-schmancy machine. It's not a longarm machine. It's not an embroidery machine. It is a basic machine. You can quilt on your basic machine. My mom's machine is around 40 years old -- she quilts on it. My sister-in-law has a basic machine, and quilts on it. My sister has a 30+ year-old machine, and quilts on it. The only special thing you need is the foot!
As Denise from NITTINFOOL suggested in the comments of Susan's post, take your presser foot off your machine and take it with you to a sewing machine shop. That way there will be no question as to what type of foot shank your machine takes. (For example, there is a Bernina shop in my area that is absolutely phenomenal.) Ask someone at a specialty shop who knows what they are talking about. Don't take it to JoAnn's. (Love ya, JoAnn's, but helping poor unsuspecting and unsure customers is not your forte!) If you need to go online to find what you need -- make sure you know the make and model of your machine, and what kind of shank your feet have (high or low). There's a wealth of information online, and I am confident you can find what you need!
A few other really great questions:
Walking Foot:
Lynette mentioned she has been challenged to make a quilt this year! HOORAY!! DO IT!! Become addicted!! :o) Lynette, you mentioned you might tie your quilt. Is this because you are nervous about quilting it? Don't be nervous about quilting it!! Please, I am convinced you will be SO much happier with your quilt if you quilt it than if you tie it! You can straight-line quilt it with your regular foot!
EVERYONE: Please don't write off quilting as something insurmountable!
You can do it! :o)

London Neighborhoods – Greenwich
One of the best kept secrets in neighborhoods is Greenwich. Located in South this lovely community seems to be in a world of its own. With no tube station it is in the city but outside of it at the same time. Beautiful Georgian and Victorian homes line the small streets alive with quirky boutiques and unique restaurants.

'My Wi-Fi' to enable traveling PANs
Keywords:devices Wi-Fi? PAN? wireless point access?
Intel product manager Gary Muntz said: "We are taking the existing WLAN hardware in the Centrino 2 notebook and virtualizing a second interface. [Then] we are taking network access functionality and putting it inside the notebook so it goes with you where ever you go."
Free software for synchronization
The wireless access point could link smart phones, music players, cameras and other devices with built-in Wi-Fi links, maintaining connections to Centrino 2 notebooks via the PAN. Intel said it will release free software in March to handle synchronization tasks, streaming audio and video and other notebook applications.
Apple's laptop computers prohibit ad-hoc network connections to Wi-Fi-enabled devices without an access point like its AirPort. As a result, Intel has stepped in to demonstrate how My Wi-Fi works with Apple's iTunes, iPhone and the Apple TV STBs.
Intel is amassing software drivers that work with most major manufacturers of Wi-Fi-enabled devices so that its Centrino 2 notebooks can connect to them even in locations where no broadband connection is available. Where broadband is available, notebooks would act as hubs to connect up to eight other laptop computers or Wi-Fi peripherals to the Internet.
Wi-Fi PAN invasion
Intel is pursuing wireless peripheral makers to include its PAN software in their devices. It claims such a move would make obsolete standalone wireless access nodes like Apple's Airport, in favor of Wi-Fi devices that can establish their own PANs.
"Over the next two to three years, we are going to see Wi-Fi PAN technology migrate from the notebook into all sorts of other devices, like a TV in your living room or a printer in your office to support these really fast, easy one-to-one pairings," Muntz predicted.
According to Intel, one-to-one pairing is the key to maintaining the high data rates needed for applications like streaming video from Centrino 2 notebooks. Under Intel's scheme, data travels directly from an application like iTunes to an Apple TV, rather than being routed through an AirPort or other access point where it must compete with other network traffic. As a consequence, all available Wi-Fi bandwidth can be used to connect laptops to a TV, enabling video to be streamed using existing technology.
Besides Apple peripherals, Intel demonstrated My Wi-Fi working with wireless printers, Sony's Playstation 3 and Portable, Microsoft's Xbox and a dozen different digital cameras.

Sen. Royce West: Children's Champion
Michael McGee | 12/2/2013, 1:55 a.m.
"I believe the children are our future," Whitney Houston famously sang on her 1986 hit The Greatest Love of All. In the years since the song first hit the charts it would appear that State Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, was covertly laboring in chorus with Houston's lyrics through his work for children in the legislative halls in Austin.
The Texas Association for the Protection of Children honored West with the 2013 Children's Champion Award for his efforts in reducing the threat of child abuse while improving the well being of children across the state. The award was presented last month during the group's fundraiser at the Bush Library and Museum on the Southern Methodist University campus.
The non-profit TAftPC, or TexProtects, was formed in 2004 and advocates for improvements and reforms of the Child Protective Services system. They also increase public awareness regarding the abuse and neglect of children statewide, according to a release from the organization.
West and TexProtects have been strong allies in their common cause of supporting Texas' children. Recently, the congressman looked back at his 21 years of public service and talked about legislation that he thought was particularly effective.
"It's just like having several different children; you don't want to say one is better than the other," he hesitated as he recalled a law he helped pass, early in his career as a legislator, related to youth in foster care.
"Those kids that are in foster care, it allowed grandparents to take custody of those kids and provided state funding by way of a stipend for those grandparents that took custody of those kids," the senator explained.
West mentioned that measure also allowed family members who adopted children who were wards of the state to receive a monthly stipend similar to the amount that a foster parent received. This reduced the cost that the state was paying into the foster system while also keeping families together during challenging times.
He also noted that, in terms of bills for which he provided past leadership, "That's the one that's most important."
The lawmaker still has his work cut out for him, he disclosed. The system of ticketing students for infractions within schools had been an issue West grappled with during the most recent legislative session. He pointed out that, in an attempt to deal with discipline problems, children who were caught in what he characterized as "mischievous, but within the law" would get a ticket that was accompanied by a fine.
"If they didn't pay the tickets they would end up getting arrested, and then labeled," West said.
Thus, minor infractions a family could not afford to take care of would have permanent effects as the child grew up.
"And those labels obviously would carry on for the rest of their lives," West admitted. "So we cleaned that up."
It was that kind of leadership and innovative thinking to change things for the better for Texas kids that landed West the award, said Madeline McClure, executive director of TexProtects, in a written statement.

Model Kate Moss is reflecting on her three-decade career in the latest issue of Allure, sharing everything from what helped her get through scandals to beauty and fashion tips.
"Everyone's a celebrity. But I'm kind of a celebrity now, so even though I'm not an actress, people know my name. I'm not just a face," the model said in the magazine's August issue.
The petite and free-spirited British fashion icon was photographed by Mario Testino, appearing on the beauty guide's cover for the ninth time.
"I must be a bit of a blank canvas," she said. "Or something."
"At a shoot, I'm really aware of everything," she said. "When they do makeup, sometimes I can't see what they're doing, but I can feel it. I know what I look like, even when I can't see what they've done. I know how to compose myself."
Moss recently booked back-to-back spokesmodel gigs for Versace and self-tanning products by St. Tropez. But her career spans back much further, to when she rose to popularity as a player in the "heroin chic" fashion era of the 1990s. She became the embodiment of a waif and consequently was often accused of being a heroin addict and suffering from anorexia.
"It was horrible, especially the anorexic thing," Moss said. "The heroin, I was like, 'Oh, it's ridiculous. I know I don't do heroin. Just because I wear a bit of black eyeliner that's smudged ....' But the anorexic thing was a lot more upsetting, to be held responsible for somebody's illness. I wasn't anorexic."
But she was able to get through scandal after scandal with this mantra, taught to her by her ex, Johnny Depp: "Never complain, never explain."
Her daughter Lila, 10, seems to be following in Moss' well-heeled footsteps too, given her reenactments of the 2006 fashion dramedy "The Devil Wears Prada" and Meryl Streep's portrayal of antihero Miranda Priestly, who was based on Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.
"She's got a desk in her room with a phone," Moss says of Lila. "She puts a little outfit on and picks up the phone: 'Hello, Miranda Priestly's office. Can you hold? Patrick Demarchelier on the line!' " Moss said. "I died when I heard her do it. So funny. She doesn't have a clue who it is, but it's word for word. She wants to be Anne Hathaway."
The 39-year-old Moss also admits to having been self-conscious when she first started her career and said she had challenges posing nude.
"I didn't like my flat chest," she said. "I was like, 'Oh, I'm going to have a [boob] job.' Can you imagine?
"I used to be so scared about 'Oh, I don't want to show my body.' Now that I've shown it, it doesn't bug me about my moles, or 'This isn't big enough' and 'That's not smooth enough.'"
She even shares her tanning habits and her husband, musician Jamie Hince's preferences for her under-bronzed regions.
"I don't mind a bikini bottom. My husband likes lines on the bum — men like white bums, like a frame," she added. "I don't do it on the boobs, though — I try not to have a white boob."
Aside from her sexually charged tanning tips, the model-turned-designer also explained why it's important to adapt style to yourself, rather than change yourself to fit a style.
"I try and be a little bit chic," she said. "I wouldn't wear sweatpants. I wouldn't wear a twinset .... With confidence, I think anyone can get a dress and make it their own. I don't think you should have it off the runway and wear it like they want you to wear it. You know, with their hair and makeup — their woman. I just think it's boring. You have to make it your own. That's what fashion is all about."
Also: "Always clean hair. That's a must. If in doubt, wash it."
The full interview hits newsstands July 23.

Ferguson questions Reds over Suarez
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has questioned why Liverpool did not appeal against Luis Suarez's recent eight-match ban if they believed he was not guilty of racially abusing Patrice Evra.
The clash between Suarez and Evra remains an inflammatory subject between the rival clubs, who meet at Old Trafford on Saturday in a match that is likely to see the two players come face to face for the first time since their acrimonious October meeting.
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish claimed Suarez should never have been suspended in the first place after the Uruguayan made his comeback from the ban against Tottenham on Monday night and Ferguson said: "They've said plenty, haven't they? Why didn't they appeal?"

5.(A) Credit for approved continuing legal education hours will be given for courses or activities conducted from July 1 through June 30 of each year, and for the purposes of these rules, this period of time shall be known as the "reporting period." If an attorney or a judge acquires, during such reporting period, approved continuing legal education in excess of twelve (12) hours, the excess credit may be carried forward and applied to the education requirement for the succeeding reporting period only. The maximum number of CLE hours one may carry forward is twelve (12), which may include one hour of ethics.
5.(B) Sponsors may be required to report attendance to the Board or its Secretary. Such reports may be required promptly after completion of each program or activity. Attorneys may also report approved activities using a certificate approved by the Board.
5.(C) The Board, through its Secretary, shall maintain current records of CLE attendance for each attorney to whom these rules apply. Pursuant to Board regulation, they shall be
made available to such attorneys.
5.(D) During the course of the reporting period, the Board, through its Secretary, may provide interim reports by first class mail to those attorneys subject to the 12 hour requirement of Rule 3.(A). Such reports will state the number of approved CLE hours each attorney has of record with the Board. On or before July 31 after the conclusion of the immediately preceding reporting period, the Board, through its Secretary, shall provide a final report by first class mail to those attorneys. The number of approved CLE hours stated in the interim and final reports shall be presumed correct unless the attorney notifies the Board otherwise. If the final report shows acquisition of 12 or more approved CLE hours during the reporting period, the attorney shall be deemed to be in compliance with these rules and need not take any further action for the immediately preceding reporting period.
In the event the final report reflects that an attorney has failed to meet the 12 hour requirement of Rule 3.(A), the final report will be accompanied by an acknowledgment of deficiency form. Such attorneys shall sign the acknowledgment of deficiency form and file it with the Board on or before the following August 31. Subsequently, such attorneys shall cure any deficiency by December 1 and provide appropriate documentation to the Board no later than the following December 15. CLE hours reported to the Board pursuant to the acknowledgment of deficiency shall first be applied to the deficiency and any remaining hours will be applied to the current reporting period.
Attorney members of the National Guard or reserves of any branch of the Armed Forces which are mobilized during the reporting period by Gubernatorial or Presidential order shall have an additional 180 days to meet each of the respective filing requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph. Such entitlement shall be based upon appropriate documentation to establish the date of mobilization and the date of release from active duty. Upon request of an affected attorney who is entitled to the relief set forth in this paragraph, the Board may grant additional extensions of time in order to meet the respective filing requirements set forth in the preceding paragraphs. The Board may also waive any of the various fees set forth in Regulation 5.01 of the Regulations of the Board. (Amended by per curiam order May 6, 2004.)
5.(E) The Board is authorized to assess costs against delinquent attorneys in the form of a reasonable fee for filing late and filing a deficiency plan.
5.(F) Newly admitted attorneys shall be subject to the twelve hour minimum requirement during the reporting period that follows the reporting period in which they are admitted.
5.(G) All filings pursuant to Rule 5 will be made with the Secretary to the Arkansas Continuing Legal Education Board, unless the Board directs otherwise. In addition, all such filings that require the signature of an attorney shall be subject to the requirements of Rule 8.4 of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct for Lawyers or its successor rule.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Secretary Robert Barham has announced that the state's territorial seas are open, effective immediately, from the Empire Canal westward to Belle Pass for recreational and commercial fishing.
This opening takes place from the eastern shore of the Empire Canal at 89 degrees 36 minutes 19.9 seconds to the western shore of Belle Pass at 90 degrees 13 minutes 36 seconds west longitude.
"My goal is to have people out there fishing," Barham said. "Every day we are making new assessments and decisions to give all anglers, commercial and recreational, every opportunity to utilize our state's great resources."
LDWF continues to work closely with the Department of Health and Hospitals to conduct tissue-sample analysis in an effort to access all opportunities to resume normal fishing activities on Louisiana's Coast.
All other closures remain in place.

Festival Guidelines
Think of these as suggested Planetary codes..."rules and regulations" seems so harsh and reminiscent of grade school home-room. Nevertheless, the Festival experience is more pleasant for everyone involved when we all adhere to the following...
Bela Fleck & Sam Bush
- Alcohol, Glass and Video Cameras are not allowed on the Festival grounds. You are welcome to bring your own food and soft drinks in appropriate containers. We serve beer and wine at the Festival (don't forget your ID) and we have a wide assortment of vendors with reasonably priced yummy food, cool crafts, clothes and other stuff. Taping is permitted unless the performing artist requests otherwise.
- Dancing & hula hooping are welcome in designated areas.
- Sorry, no frisbee playing in the Festival.
- Please use only low back chairs in front of the sound booth on the Festival grounds. If we can roll a basketball under it we will ask you nicely to move behind the sound booth.
- Children 12 and under are free for the Festival and camping, but must be accompanied by a paying adult.
- In the spirit of Festivarianism, if you see an empty tarp, feel free to have a seat until the owner returns.
Line Policy
|Another day of music awaits
Our long-standing line policy exists to create a kinder, gentler, more Festivarian-like entry each morning. Please keep in mind that the entry line is a complicated logistical problem and we have developed these rules with decades of experience, while taking a number of factors into consideration.
Our goal is to create an entry procedure that will be fair, orderly, and will satisfy the greatest number of Festivarians. Any feedback or suggestions you may have are greatly encouraged!
Remember, this is a general admission festival. Your tarps do not change that. Festivarians who see an unoccupied tarp are encouraged to have a seat until the owner returns.
Line Policy – Town Side (General Admission)
- You must be physically present in line at all times - no empty chairs!
- Numbers will be handed out each morning prior to the gates opening.
- Even after receiving your number, you must stay in line - reasonable bathroom/coffee breaks aside.
- Per Town ordinance, you may not camp in line - this means no tents, no cooking, and no sleeping.
- One number, one person, one tarp.
- Festivarians with numbers will be admitted into the Festival in order, one at a time, after going through the standard Customs procedure.
Line Policy – Town Park/ Warner Field Side
- 750 numbers will be RANDOMLY distributed to Town Park and Warner Field wristband holders ONLY. (no kids bands will receive a number)
- Numbers will be distributed each morning of the Festival between 7am and gates open at the TP/WF entrance.
- ONE number, one person, one tarp. No exceptions!
- After receiving your number, please find your numeric position in line no less than 30 minutes prior to the gates opening
- Festivarians with numbers will be admitted into the Festival in order, one at a time, after going through the standard Customs procedure.
- Due to the random nature of the number distribution, there is no need to line-up overnight
Refund Policy
Morning tarp rush
- If you need a refund, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. The subject line of your email should read: "Attn: Refunds - your name". Please include a copy of your e-mail confirmation along with exact details of your refund request.
- Refund requests for Telluride Bluegrass must be made by Friday, March 8, 2019.
- We will gladly refund you in the same manner that your tickets were purchased. There are NO REFUNDS AFTER these dates. No extensions or exceptions.
Working Towards a Greener Bluegrass Festival
The success of our efforts to make the Festival more green depends on everyone. For several years, everyone involved has noted a great spirit of cooperation among Festivarians in regard to the efforts to reduce waste. By preparing ahead of time, you can make a difference with regards to festival waste and energy consumption. Here are a few ideas:
A young Festivarians first wristband!

- Carpool. Not only is it more gentle on the environment, it's more fun too! (You think YOU sound good singing along to vintage New Grass Revival at the top of your lungs on the way to Telluride? You'll sound even better with more people!) Check out the "Hitching a Ride" board at the Festivarian Forum.
- Take your recycling home when you leave the valley so that we can reduce the number of truck trips to carry the waste to Grand Junction.
- Bring your own personal eating utensils and reusable napkins.
- If you're staying in a hotel or condo, let them know that you don't need to have your towels and sheets washed daily.
- Bring your own bag if you buy groceries.
- Bring home your beer cups, as they will last for years. If you can't, please dispose of them only in the specially marked containers at the beer booth and customs gate.
- Share your knowledge and ideas with Planet Bluegrass on survey cards and in Greentown, or by emailing email@example.com
