Raisin Bowl
Revision as of 08:10, April 25, 2013 by Robert Alvarez (wall | contribs)
Not to be confused with California Raisin Bowl.
The Raisin Bowl was an annual post-season American college football bowl game played at Ratcliffe Stadium in Fresno, California, from 1946 to 1949.[1] The first four games were played on January 1, the last on December 31. The games pitted a California team against an at-large team. The California team prevailed in four of the five games.
This game is not to be confused with the California Bowl which was later staged in Fresno, which in its later years was marketed as the California Raisin Bowl due to the sale of naming rights to the California Raisin Marketing Board.

Grimes "Fragments of the Future"
Our burgeoning love affair with Montreal's Grimes continues to grow exponentially with this freshly unveiled, previously unheard track from the talented singer/producer. The shape-shifting dream-pop number premiered just yesterday as the opener of her mix for Altered Zones, which appropriately kicks things off with an ethereally ominous tone. Massive bass frequencies throb underneath airy harp plucks, shimmering piano melodies, and translucent vocal hooks on Grimes' "Fragments of the Future"—creating an unlikely palette of sound that's oddly infectious. Look for more of that kind of music on the artist's split release with fellow Canadian pop experimentalist d'Eon, Darkbloom, which you can check out here.

Q: Access multidimensional array with a path-like string I have a function called get_config() and an array called $config.
I call the function by using get_config('site.name') and am looking for a way to return the value of $config so for this example, the function should return $config['site']['name'].
I'm nearly pulling my hair out - trying not to use eval()! Any ideas?
EDIT: So far I have:
function get_config($item)
{
  global $config;

  $item_config = '';
  $item_path = '';

  foreach(explode('.', $item) as $item_part)
  {
    $item_path .= $item."][";

    $item = $config.{rtrim($item_path, "][")};
  }

  return $item;
}

A: This should work:
function get_config($config, $string) {
    $keys = explode('.', $string);
    $current = $config;
    foreach($keys as $key) {
        if(!is_array($current) || !array_key_exists($key, $current)) {
            throw new Exception('index ' . $string . ' was not found');
        }
        $current = $current[$key];
    }
    return $current;
}

A: you could try something like...
function get_config($item)
{
      global $config;
      return $config[{str_replace('.','][',$item)}];
}

A: Inside your get_config function, you can parse the string using explode function in php
function get_config($data){
 $pieces = explode(".", $data);

 return $config[$pieces[0]][$pieces[1]];

}

Das Woodbury County ist ein County im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Iowa. Im Jahr 2010 hatte das County 102.172 Einwohner und eine Bevölkerungsdichte von 45,2 Einwohnern pro Quadratkilometer. Bis 2013 verringerte sich die Einwohnerzahl auf 102.130. Der Verwaltungssitz (County Seat) ist Sioux City, benannt nach dem Indianerstamm der Sioux.

Das Woodbury County liegt im Zentrum der Sioux City Metropolitan Area, die sich von Iowa bis in die benachbarten Staaten South Dakota und Nebraska erstreckt.

Geografie
Das County liegt im äußersten Westen von Iowa, wo der Missouri die Grenze zu Nebraska und der Big Sioux River die zu South Dakota bildet. Das County hat eine Fläche von 2272 Quadratkilometern, wovon zwölf Quadratkilometer Wasserfläche sind.

An das Woodbury County grenzen folgende Nachbarcountys:

Das Gebiet der überwiegend im benachbarten Nebraska liegenden Winnebago Reservation, einer von zwei Reservationen des Indianerstammes der Ho-Chunk, erstreckt sich staatenübergreifend auch auf einen Teil des Woodbury County.

Geschichte

Das Woodbury County wurde am 15. Januar 1851 ursprünglich als Wahkaw County gebildet. 1853 wurde das County zu Ehren von Levi Woodbury (1789–1851) umbenannt, einem US-Senator, Marine- und Finanzminister sowie Gouverneur von New Hampshire.

1851 war das heute nicht mehr existierende Thompsonville der erste Verwaltungssitz. Zwei Jahre später wurde der Sitz der Verwaltung nach Sergeant Bluff verlegt. Die Büros der Countyverwaltung wurden noch in den Privathäusern der Beamten eingerichtet. 1856 wurde beschlossen, den County Seat in die 1854 neu angelegte Stadt Sioux City zu verlegen. Im Jahre 1858 wurde ein neues dreistöckiges Backsteingebäude für das Gericht und die Verwaltung bezogen.

1914 wurde beschlossen, das heutige Woodbury County Courthouse zu errichten, das 1918 fertiggestellt wurde. Nach einer Generalüberholung des Gebäudes wurde es 1973 in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen.

Bevölkerung
Nach der Volkszählung im Jahr 2010 lebten im Woodbury County 102.172 Menschen in 38.739 Haushalten. Die Bevölkerungsdichte betrug 45,2 Einwohner pro Quadratkilometer. In den 38.739 Haushalten lebten statistisch je 2,52 Personen.

You must not underestimate the importance of your CV (Curriculum Vitae). It is very often the only thing that a prospective employer will see before deciding whether you can be of benefit to the company and whether he/she is interested enough in you to conduct an interview. No matter how well suited you are, you are not going to get a job if you cannot get an interview.
You need to bear in mind that what you produce will be seen as an example of your work. Also, a prospective employer may be sifting through numerous CVs and only be looking to interview a couple of candidates so time spent here is well worth the effort.
Firstly, take the time to tailor your CV to the role for which you are applying.
Try to keep to a three page maximum. To help with this, only detail relevant experience and just use headlines to show the date continuity on other roles.
If you have achievements and awards make sure to mention them.
Make sure that it is easy to read when printed in black and white. Fancy fonts and coloured designs may not help.
No grammar or spelling mistakes allowed.
Don't waste space writing Curriculum Vitae at the top of the page or use a lot of space giving extensive contact details. Employers know it is a CV and a recruitment agency will only remove that detail anyway.
Give a summary that will grab the attention of the employer aiming yourself at their specific requirement.
Have a skills section listing all your areas of expertise (personal and technical). From a technical perspective, a matrix with an assessment rating or listing the number of years active use is a great idea. Bear in mind that recruitment agencies will pull shortlists via "buzz words" and if you don't have them listed you will not be contacted.
Present your work history in reverse chronological order, with your current employer first, highlighting your main achievements in each role.
Again in reverse chronological order, your most significant and relevant ones are the most important. Only mention grades if they are good ones.
Some may think that this is not important but if you have the same hobbies as your prospective manager it could grab their attention. Also, any related achievements should be listed as they can help demonstrate your winning mentality or dedication to the pursuit of excellence in all walks of life.
"References Available Upon Request" or include contact details of 2 referees who can be approached.

NATIONAL BRIEFS
DELAWARE: Kids forced to fight, police say
Three day care workers videotaped a fight between 3-year-old boys and encouraged the kids to pummel each other as they laughed about it, according to court documents. The three were charged Monday with assault and other offenses after Dover police obtained a cellphone video of the March 6 incident. The license of their employer, Hands of Our Future day care center in Dover, was suspended. Tiana Harris, 19, Estefania Myers, 21, and Lisa Parker, 47, each posted $10,000 secured bond. Police say the video taken by Harris shows a child screaming and holding his face while being punched by the other, who is also punched and shoved into a table. Parker allegedly grabbed one boy and forced him to continue. Harris and Myers are shown and heard laughing and encouraging the altercation, police said.
TENNESSEE: Death in police car at issue
Chavis Carter's family hasn't accepted the official explanation for his death: that he was on meth when he fatally shot himself with his hands cuffed behind him in the backseat of a patrol car in Jonesboro, Ark. As questions swirl about how and why Carter, 21, died, his family has been demanding more answers from authorities. Jonesboro police have say officers searched Carter twice but didn't find a gun before they noticed him slumped over and bleeding on July 28. Some of the family's supporters marched through Jonesboro on Tuesday. One woman had a sign that read, "Stop the lies!! No suicide."

Q: AngularJS preciso criar um list-divider no meio de uma lista Olá!
Estou fazendo um projeto para a faculdade no Ionic usando angularJS e nele tenho uma arraylist com várias palavras, usando o orderBy as deixei em ordem alfabética, mas tem um problema, preciso fazer com que toda vez que a letra inicial mude seja criado um list-divider com essa letra, por exemplo :
"list-divider A, Amora, Amor, list-divider B, Batata, Bobão, list-divider C, Casa, Cachorro..."
Já consegui fazer isso transformando uma lista em várias listas e botando o divider entre elas, mas me foi dito que essa não é uma boa pratica.

A: Uma das possibilidades é criar um objeto que separe as palavras em grupos.

angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller('myController', function($scope){

  var palavras   = "Amora,Amor,Batata,Bobão,Casa,Cachorro"; // Conteúdo original
  var palavraCol = palavras.split(',');       // Transforma em uma coleção,
                                              //   usando vírgula como separador

  var estrutura = {};                         // Preparando um objeto para conter divisores e conteúdo

  palavraCol.forEach(function(i){             // para cada palavra,

    var primLetra = i[0].toUpperCase();       // Obtenha a primeira letra, e a torne Maiúscula;

    if (!estrutura[primLetra])                // Se a estrura ainda não possuir o grupo, crie
        estrutura[primLetra] = [];            //   e inicialize como um array vazio.

    estrutura[primLetra].push(i);             // Adiciona a palavra atual ao grupo correspondente.

  });

  $scope.estrutura = estrutura;               // Armazena em $scope, para que a view possa acessar.

});

    Letra {{k}}

        {{p}}

CDXC Asset Software Helps America's Most Wanted Catch Criminals
LOS ANGELES, CA, July 24, 2001. Since its debut on February 7, 1988, America's Most Wanted, the popular TV series broadcast by the FOX Network, has been using the highly effective medium of television to aid in the capture of fugitives and recovery of missing persons. The television show, which attracts an average of 14 million viewers each week, airs case profiles and mug shots, which assist law enforcement agencies by creating public awareness. Viewers with information about cases or possible sightings call an America's Most Wanted tip line, which routes the new leads to the appropriate agency. To date, America's Most Wanted has aided in the capture of more than 670 fugitives, simply by informing the public. Now, with the help of two technology companies, America's Most Wanted is adding powerful new weapons to their arsenal in the fight against crime. The technologies, developed independently, serve two entirely different purposes. The first, called FACES, has been developed by IQ Biometrix of Montreal, Québec, Canada. FACES is an easy-to-use software application that allows law enforcement agencies to quickly build photo-accurate facial composites. FACES software can re-create billions of faces of any race or gender between the ages of 17 and 60 years old. Once a composite has been constructed, it is converted to an alphanumeric code that represents the blueprint for reconstructing the composite. In this way, the software's innovative "intercode" system allows law enforcement agencies to quickly distribute exact duplicates of a composite to other agencies, rather than sending smudgy photos or facsimiles. CDXC Corporation of Saint Paul, Minnesota has developed the second technology, called Visual Capture. Visual Capture is an Internet-accessible database of the more than 5,000 unsolved criminal cases that exist at any particular moment. Law enforcement agencies are able to upload new cases or search the database for names, criminal methods, or other information that could help establish patterns and solve crimes. The powerful search capabilities will allow law enforcement agencies to access information in seconds via the Internet from anywhere in the world. The information includes case data and mug shots, which can be downloaded and printed. Future versions of the technology will include the ability to view and download supporting multimedia, such as surveillance videos. The law enforcement community at large is thrilled with the technology. "By profiling cases and informing the public, America's Most Wanted has been visibly proactive in assisting law enforcement to solve cases and bring fugitives to justice," said Michael W. Streed, Police Officer and Forensic Artist with the City of Orange (California) Police Department. "Now, the behind-the-scenes assistance of these new technologies supplied by America's Most Wanted, IQ Biometrix and CDXC will help even more to improve efficiency and quickly bring cases to a close." About IQ Biometrix IQ Biometrix, a world leader in the development of facial imagery technology, is the inventor of FACES facial composite software and other state-of-the-art products that address critical issues in the crime-prevention, education and entertainment industries. FACES has set a worldwide standard for facial imagery and the transmission of crime-prevention data. About CDXC Corporation CDXC Corporation is a developer of Internet-based applications for the creative community. CDXC technology allows companies to manage, exchange, archive, convert and deliver their digital assets, all through the use of a standard web browser.

Stevie Nicks Solo Music Is Coming This Friday
October 5, 2020 in djpost
Stevie Nicks fans will finally be getting some new solo music. The singer revealed in a new "Los Angeles Times" interview that she'll release the new single "Show Me The Way" this Friday, along with a video directed by Cameron Crowe.
Thank you, Amy Kaufman & @latimes. I can't wait to share more on my #24KaratConcert film and "Show Them the Way" with you all very soon. https://t.co/22GjPnmYfu
— Stevie Nicks (@StevieNicks) October 1, 2020
Stevie also talked about Lindsey Buckingham and says that while they haven't spoken since he was kicked out of Fleetwood Mac. But she admits that the whole thing left her "disappointed," not in him, or the band, but overall.
ONE MORE THING! In addition to her music, Stevie is working on a mini-series about the Celtic deity Rhiannon, which inspired her 1975 hit. She says her good friend Harry Styles is "definitely in the running" to star in the show, with Stevie sharing, "I'm going, 'Harry, you cannot age one day. You have to stay exactly as you are. I've already sold him on it."

The 1978 Washington State Cougars football team was an American football team that represented Washington State University in the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 1978 NCAA Division I-A football season. Under new head coach Jim Walden, the Cougars compiled a 4–6–1 record (2–6 in Pac-10, last), and were outscored 296 to 276.

The team's statistical leaders included Jack Thompson with 2,333 passing yards, Tali Ena with 728 rushing yards, and Mike Wilson with 451 receiving yards.

This was the first football season in the newly expanded Pac-10; the Cougars met the two new members, Arizona and Arizona State, but did not play the USC Trojans.

Senior quarterback Thompson was ninth in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy, and was the third overall selection of the 1979 NFL Draft, taken by the Cincinnati Bengals.

The offensive backs coach in 1977 under Warren Powers, Walden was promoted that December and became the Cougars' fourth head coach in four seasons (Jim Sweeney (1975), Jackie Sherrill (1976), and Powers). He led the WSU program for nine years.

After this season, the running track in Martin Stadium was removed, the playing field was lowered, and the capacity was expanded with new lower seating.

Stained Glass of St. Peter's Church, Ringland Norfolk
This beautiful medieval church dates back as early as the 13th Century, as evidenced by its surviving west tower. The current nave and chancel were added in the 14th and 15th centuries. The church retains many treasures including its beautiful hammer beam roof described by Mortlock & Roberts as "one of the most perfect small-scale roofs anywhere."
The church also contains a small but outstanding collection medieval stained glass, particularly remarkable as it is rare to find so many full scale figures of this era in a Norfolk Church. Although the age of the glass is not documented, David King dates it to the 1460s based on both the presence on the roof of Walter Lyhart's shield (Bishop of Norwich 1446 - 72) and the fact that the donor figures installed in nearby Taverham church in the 1460s were painted from the same cartoon. Additionally the figures are painted in a style which is redolent of the period being characterized by sharp detail, thin pointed facial features and ornamental drapery and accessories.

The Eran Federation (English: [ɛɹɒn] Secundomian: Ƿʖɤ[ɛæɳh]) is a transcontinental micronation located in North America, Antarctica, and Europe. It is a federal presidential republic composed of many different types of micronations, termed "states". Eran is a medium sized micronation, claiming private property and other areas across the globe. The Eran Federation aims to increase the activity of member-states and provide a growing, functioning environment for them as well.

The name Eran comes from the word era, as the founder wanted to spark a new era in the micronational community. The sound of the word was originally pronounced Eran with a long e but has since been dropped.
The Eran Federation was created on May 23rd,2012, although an earlier version, the Byzantine Federation, existed briefly before. The first major event in the history of the Federation was the inclusion of the Kingdom of Rafghanistan. Following soon after Apeland and Adrianople joined bringing the membership up to five. The next day, in an unexpected turn, veteran micronation Secundomia joined as the federation's sixth member. This move brought more activity to Eran and provided a stable platform from which to grow. After a few more days of steady growth and the creation of the national newspaper, the Eranian Herald, a new protectorate, New Yugoslavia, was added as the country's seventh territory. A few days later, the Eranian Stock Exchange was created and Kapsladriik joined as the country's fourth protectorate. On June 14th, the day before the elections were announced, Kinsovea joined as the fourth member-state. Soon after, the government issued reforms to the Supreme Chancellor position, making the term electable among other things.
First Elections
On June 16th the election results were announced, with Parker I of Secundomia becoming the first Prime Minister and Rafi II of the Kingdom of Rafghanistan becoming the first Courtmaster. This was preceding the first meeting of the Federal Assembly, which was held on June 21, 2012. The meeting was relatively successful, with key points being adding Apeland as a full member and the creation of political parties and military. A few days later, Eran was accepted as a provisional member of the GUM. Following soon after was the construction of the first national monument of Eran, located in the Kingdom of Rafghanistan. Then, on June 28th, the Kingdom of New America joined as a protectorate. On the same day the three Fronts of Eran concluded their party leader elections. The next month, New America became a full member, while Apeland was put back as a protectorate. Pretty soon after, the Zacharian International Zone joined as the second ever Government District.
Situation America
On August 3rd, 2012, the Kingdom of New America invaded the Zacharian International Zone and seceded from Eran to form the Eranian Free State. The nation turned into a crisis, however a mere few hours after the invasion, New America and Zacharia rejoined Eran, a key citizen of New America, Cooper of Coopery was arrested and Zach I, King of New America, was exiled from Eran for a period of three days. The major uprising had been quashed in a matter of less than a day. This conflict led to Zach I resigning as King and replacing himself with Thomas I, head of Knoll Island. Zach still remained, however, part of New America. This transition lasted about two days before Zach gave most of New America to Thomas and became Head of a new state, New Berlin. After following a period of instability, New Berlin left the federation to join the Cruzen Commonwealth. This wasn't seen as a surprise from the general body of Eran as New Berlin had long been unstable politically. In September, during attempts to become more strict and vigilant, the Eranian Police Force was created, after agreeing to become a subdivision of the military. Also during these reforms, New Yugoslavia and Kapsladriik were removed to due inactivity.
Eran is a federal republic with a Supreme Chancellor as the Head of State and a Prime Minister as the Head of Government. Each member-state may have their own leader, such as a monarch or president, but when discussing matters of the federation, leaders must follow the legislature of the Eran Federation.
Executive authority is vested in the Supreme Chancellor of the Eran Federation. The Supreme Chancellor acts as a president-like figure and decides the overall direction of the Federation's domestic and foreign policy and is also the commander-in-chief of the military. He oversees the general welfare of the Federation and has a say in the Federal Assembly. This position is decided with elections every year for a one year term of service. The current Supreme Chancellor of the Federation is Adam Smith, head of the Kinsovea.
Legislative authority is vested in the Federal Assembly of Eran. The assembly contains one house, the House of Royals. The Federal Assembly has the right to declare war and pass laws, and propose ideas for the country. All affairs relating to the Federation are decided here, such as economics, defense, technology, foreign and social affairs, culture, and propaganda. The head of the Federal Assembly is the Prime Minister. All government officials in the Federal Assembly are leaders of member-states and protectorates or very influential citizens in their respective micronations. Currently, the Federal Assembly meets once a month to discuss matters of national importance. The current Prime Minister is Parker I of Secundomia.
There are three main political fronts in Eran. They provide stable platforms from which members of the same ideology can discuss matters of Eran from the same persepective. Currently the three fronts are:
National Democratic Front 2012 5 Martin I
Conservative-Libertarian Alliance 2012 6 Parker I
Socialist Front of Eran 2012 4 Adrian I
Judicial authority is vested in the Courtmaster of Eran. He or she deals with all matters of law in the Federation, from appointing court officials for a case to having the final verdict. He also has a say in the Federal Assembly making him the third most influential person in the Federation. The Courtmaster of Eran also enforces the constitution of Eran to its full extent and passes laws regarding the judicial aspect of Eran. The current Courtmaster is Rafi II of the Kingdom of Rafghanistan.
Most of the economy of the Federation is handled by the member-states within Eran, as they take care of their own economy. However, there is one organ of the economy headed on a federational level, and that is the Eranian Stock Exchange. Similar to other stock exchanges, this is the sole federational economical organ in Eran. It currently has nine companies registered in it.
This is an image of the Butterfly Monument in the Kingdom of Rafghanistan.
The geography of Eran has the utmost diversity. Fauna is very diverse as is flora, and climate zones range from Arctic tundra to temperate to tropical. In Apeland, there is a tree known as the Deucthlander Tree, which is original to the territorial confines of Apeland. In NAPI, arctic ice covers 99% of all land, but there is some vegetation on Renaud Island. In Secundomia, the major climate zone is highlands, and hills dominate the landscape and territory. In the Kingdom of Rafghanistan, Eran's only national monument, the Butterfly Monument, stands. It is a statue of the national animal, the butterfly, and it symbolizes a new era in micronationalism.
The military of Eran is the professional government force that protects Eran in times of crisis. Members of the military can be from any member-state or protectorate, and can serve until needed or resignation. Ranks of the military of Eran are similar to the US Military system, however they have different numerical values. The current Commander of the Army is Adam Smith of Kinsovea. The largest regiment of the military is the Rafghanistani unit, consisting of thirteen members total.
Eran, despite its name, is in fact a federal presidential republic, constisting of various regional entities. The regional entities are divided in kingdoms, grand duchies, capital districts and republics.
The following is a list of territories in Eran:
Governement District: A government district is a place in Eran with a low degree of autonomy that has a government function, but cannot be classified as a member-state.
Government District Joined Leader Type Capital City Citizens
Byzantine Capital District May 23rd, 2012 Prime Minister Parker I Capital District Byzantium 1
Member-State: A member-state is a nation with full autonomy within Eran that makes up the main part of the Federation. Member-States have most of the legislative power, and they follow all of national Eran regulations.
Member-State Joined Leader Type Capital City Citizens
Grand Duchy of the North Antarctic Peninsular Islands May 23rd, 2012 Grand Duke Martin I Grand Duchy Livingston Island 21
Kingdom of Rafghanistan May 23rd, 2012 King Rafi II Kingdom Rabul 33
Republic of Kinsovea June 14th, 2012 President Adam Smith Republic Kinsovo 8
Eran experiences many diverse cultures due to its spread of micronations across the world. In the Grand Duchy of the North Antarctic Peninsular Islands, and most other territories, football is the most common sport. However, there is a large following of american football in Secundomia. The national animal is the butterfly, as it signals a change in time for the people of Eran. Since Eran is a collectivity of micronations, different cultures are prominent such as the steampunk culture in Rafghanistan, and the more conservative culture of Secundomia.
Eranian Cup
The Eranian Cup is the premier football competition in Eran. It faces all the teams in Eran against each other. The winner is decided in knockout format. The first competition will take place in August 2012.
As a federation, Eran allows its member-states to maintain their own foreign affairs. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Eran considers to have relations with any nation that a member-state of the confederation has relations with. Only Eran executives decide what the foreign relations should be, due to the fact that this is one of the factors that brings Eranians together.
Currently, the nations with whom the Federation has official relations are as follows, in no particular order:
Empire of New Winterdown
Republic of Gerenia

These Days, They're Indispensible: Pharmacists Step Up
Hospitals realize that these professionals should do more than fill prescriptions; they must be active members of the clinical team
Geri Aston
In recent years, hospital pharmacists have begun to emerge from the proverbial and sometimes literal basement pharmacy and are serving at the patient's bedside as part of the clinical team. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, along with federal payment and health information technology policies, is expected to accelerate the trend.
The old model in which physicians wrote prescriptions, nurses brought them to the pharmacy, and the pharmacist filled the order and sent it up to the floor "has completely changed for good reason," says Mark Donaldson, director of pharmacy services at Kalispell (Mont.) Regional Medical Center. "There has been a tremendous shift from being out of sight, out of mind to really being at the forefront of prescribing practices and making sure that the patient is getting the right drug at the right time at the right dose every time, rather than being more reactive."
Fifteen or 20 years ago, pharmacists typically only rounded with doctors at academic medical centers, says Ed Kent, pharmacy implementation manager, performance services at the hospital alliance VHA Inc. Now pharmacists are rounding at about 44 percent of hospitals, according to a new American Society of Health-System Pharmacists survey of more than 500 hospitals. The figure is virtually 100 percent at facilities with more than 400 beds.
Why the change? The 1999 Institute of Medicine report "To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System" shone a harsh spotlight on medication errors at hospitals, Donaldson says. As a result, hospitals, the government and quality organizations began to focus on ways to reduce adverse medication events.
Also, pharmacy began to shift to a more clinical profession, says Douglas Scheckelhoff, ASHP vice president of professional development. The growth of residency training programs got pharmacists into hospitals where they received hands-on experience with patients as part of a multidisciplinary team. Then, about a decade ago, pharmacy went from a baccalaureate- to a doctoral-level program.
Now pharmacists are not just dispensing drugs, but focusing on medication safety, working to get the best drugs for the lowest cost, trying to improve outcomes, easing the transition into the hospital by making sure patients' existing drug regimens are followed, managing drug therapy, striving to shorten patient stays when possible, and trying to prevent readmissions related to medications, Scheckelhoff says. "If you have pharmacists as part of the medical team or close to the patient's bedside, they're going to be in a much better position to help make these things happen. If you don't have them as part of the team, it's a void."
Technology has helped fuel the trend. Such advances as automated dispensing machines, computerized provider order entry and bedside bar-coding systems allow pharmacists to get out of their offices and onto patient floors. As pharmacists have become more involved in direct patient care, pharmacy technicians have begun to take on more of the traditional drug-dispensing role.
But the shift in hospital pharmacy practice to direct patient care is not uniform, as the ASHP figures show. The society is trying to facilitate change with its Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative, which aims to develop a practice model that supports the most effective use of pharmacists as direct patient care providers. A goal of the effort is to create a self-assessment tool so hospitals can determine what clinical services their pharmacists will provide and what technology is needed to support them. Another objective is to develop recommendations on a core set of services all hospital pharmacists should provide.
For hospitals interested in having their pharmacists become more involved in direct patient care, there are some logical places to start, says Marie A. Chisholm-Burns, head of the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science at the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy, Tucson. These include: hospital units with high-risk patients, such as the ICU; units with high medication-error rates; and patients on high-risk medications or on drugs with narrow therapeutic windows.
As medications have become more complex and the population of patients with multiple chronic conditions increases, many physicians have come to realize they can't be experts at all things and now turn to hospital pharmacists as their medication experts. Because more new physicians are trained in an integrated fashion, not only are they expecting pharmacists to participate in the care team, "they're demanding it," says Chisholm-Burns, who specializes in transplant medications.
One area in which pharmacists have proven their value is anticoagulation-medication management. At hospitals without pharmacist-provided heparin management, death rates were 11.4 percent higher, length of stay was 10 percent higher, Medicare charges were 6.6 percent higher, bleeding complications were 3 percent higher, and the transfusion rate for bleeding complications was 5.4 percent higher, according to a study of more than 700,000 Medicare patients requiring anticoagulation therapy at 955 hospitals. The research, published in the August 2004 issue of Pharmacotherapy, found similar results with warfarin. The ASHP survey found that currently pharmacists routinely manage inpatient heparin and warfarin therapy at only about 37 percent of hospitals. Medication management at hospital outpatient anticoagulation clinics also can significantly reduce readmissions resulting from complications from these drugs, Kent says.
Today's hospital reimbursement picture is likely to intensify the need for pharmacist involvement in direct patient care, several experts say. For example, as Medicare continues to clamp down on hospital payment, pharmacists can help to maximize reimbursement because of their ability to select the right drug at the lowest cost and to reduce lengths of stay by preventing adverse events and improving outcomes through medication management, Chisholm-Burns says.
Meanwhile, the health reform law's push to further shift the basis of Medicare payment from quantity to quality is expected to reinforce the trend. Health care-associated conditions serve as an example. In 2007, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services stopped paying for care related to certain HACs. The list now includes several medication-related events, such as blood clots, death or disability from medication errors, and certain types of infection. Under health reform, Medicare in 2015 also will decrease payment for hospitals performing the worst with regard to HACs. As a result, hospital pharmacists are getting more involved in such realms as anticoagulation management for patients at high risk of blood clots and antimicrobial stewardship, Kent says.
Readmissions are another area in which pharmacists can help hospitals prepare for health reform, several sources say. Beginning in October 2012, most types of hospitals will face Medicare payment penalties if they have higher-than-expected readmission rates for heart failure, pneumonia and heart attack. A significant number of readmissions occur because patients fail to follow their medication regimen or experience adverse drug interactions, Kent says.
Having pharmacists team with nurses in the discharge process and with patient follow-up can dramatically reduce readmissions related to medications, Scheckelhoff says. Such a coordinated effort can have the biggest impact with high-risk patients whose health is dependent on adhering to their medication regimens.
The Glue in the Care Continuum
The Affordable Care Act "is just another reason to get the pharmacists more engaged in the patient care team," says Mark Eastham, senior vice president of McKesson Pharmacy Optimization, a consulting arm of the McKesson Corp. "Pharmacy is really the only hospital department that provides clinical care to each and every hospital patient."
This makes having a comprehensive pharmacy strategy vital for hospitals interested in participating in the accountable care organization program created by the health reform law, several experts say. The purpose of ACOs is to manage the health of a patient population across care settings. "The glue of the health care team is the pharmacists because they're managing that patient's medications throughout the care continuum," Kent says.
While health reform intensifies the shift in hospital pharmacy practice to the point of care, the federal meaningful use regulations are expected to encourage adoption of the information technology that enables the trend. For hospitals to qualify for federal health information technology incentive payments, the final rule requires that more than 30 percent of patients with at least one medication recorded must have at least one medication ordered through computerized provider order entry systems. A future phase of the regulation is expected to include hospital use of bedside bar-code or radio-frequency medication verification.
So far, hospitals have been slow to invest in this type of technology. For example, about 19 percent of hospitals surveyed by ASHP used inpatient CPOE systems with decision support in 2010, although the percentage is higher among larger hospitals. About 35 percent of hospitals use bar code medication administration.
Kalispell's Experience
Technology not only allows pharmacists to concentrate on clinical care, it also helps them prevent errors and improve efficiency. At 155-bed Kalispell Regional Medical Center, prescriptions are scanned digitally so nurses no longer have to run the orders to the pharmacy. Pharmacy personnel verify that the prescription is appropriate and, through the computer system, approve the nurse's access to that drug via an automated dispensing machine. The machine scans the nurse's fingerprint before releasing the drug. These secure medicine cabinets are located in each ward on each floor and house about 90 percent of medications used in the facility.
Digital scanning and the use of ADMs have cut the turnaround time between when a prescription is written and when the patient receives the drug—from hours to an average of less than seven minutes, Donaldson says.
The ADMs play a huge role in preventing medication errors, he says. When a nurse goes to get a medication, she has to pull up the right patient's information; otherwise, she's not going to find the drug. The nurse has to pull the right drug; otherwise that drawer is not going to open. And when that drawer opens, it only gives the nurse access to that one particular dose of that one particular drug for that one particular patient.
To close the loop in medication safety, the medical center uses bedside bar-code medication verification. Before administering a drug retrieved from the ADM, the nurse must scan the drug, the patient's wristband and the physician's order. If all three do not match, the nurse cannot give the drug to that patient, Donaldson says.
Kalispell is now transitioning to CPOE.
The pharmacy department's expansion into such arenas as direct patient care, patient safety and quality improvement, and technology has led to calls for an elevation of the pharmacy director to a position within hospital administration. The last five years have seen the emergence at some facilities of a new title: chief pharmacy officer. This promotion gives pharmacy leaders greater influence on care quality because their reach now extends across silos, Kent says.
The new designation has not caught on everywhere. "We have won the hearts and confidence of the nurses, the physicians and the rest of the clinical team," Donaldson says. "Our next biggest challenge is being recognized by administration for what we bring to the table."

The Coasts to Cover Disney's Robin Hood Soundtrack
For children of the 1990s, there is one item that nearly every last person can relate to. It is not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's not snap bracelets, pogs, or Ghostbusters. It's not even Nickelodeon or Nerf guns. No, the item that each and every kid around my age had while growing up was a shelf full of Disney VHS tapes. Those colorful, oversize, plastic videos were often the only guarantee our parents had in the battle to keep us entertained. Everyone had their favorite.
One tape that I watched so frequently that it nearly melted in my parents' VCR, was Disney's 1973 classic cartoon version of Robin Hood. This is why I leapt for joy upon my discovery that Thought on Tracks favorites The Coasts will be releasing an album covering the entirety of the Robin Hood soundtrack. In a few weeks, the album will be sent to anyone who purchased a digital download of the band's self-titled, debut album from their Bandcamp page. The album is currently available for $5, a pittance considering the strength of the release.
Today, the band offered fans the initial track from the Robin Hood release. Below, you can stream The Coasts take on "Love." The original was sung by Nancy Adams. It was written by Disney songwriting stalwarts Floyd Huddleston and George Bruns. Enjoy, and stay tuned to Thought on Tracks for more from this release. I know I won't be able to refrain from posting The Coasts version of Roger Miller's "Not in Nottingham," whenever it arrives.

Video: Greg Dulli "Paper Thin Hotel" (Leonard Cohen Cover)
Columbia Records is releasing a compilation of Leonard Cohen covers entitled Old Ideas With New Friends. A video of Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers frontman Greg Dulli covering Cohen's "Paper Thin Hotel" is featured below. NYC's Cults also offered up their talents on a cover of the song "Everyone Knows" that is worth checking out. See it HERE. Enjoy.
Video List: IndyMcGrath's Top Cover Songs of 2011
Love them or hate them, people are always talking about them. I have yet to notice anyone else make a 2k11 list covering covers. My selections for the best songs from previous recordings are as follows:
13 Real Estate – Barely Legal (The Strokes)
I could not be any more pumped up for the upcoming Strokes cover album Stroked. If the rest of the disc stacks up to the first single from Real Estate, we are all in for a real treat. Congrats, Real Estate, on making this song your own–no small task.
12 The Black Keys – Dearest (Buddy Holly)
The Black Keys work wonders on their take on this Buddy Holly classic. Short, sweet and fantastic. The Keys at their simplest, which is always a good thing.
11 Morning Benders – Lovefool (The Cardigans)
Hand claps, acoustic guitar and three part harmonies. Rarely do I say that a cover surpasses the original, but this sure as hell comes close. A helluva rendition of the classic guilty pleasure from Swedish rockers The Cardigans.
10 Friendly Fires – I'm Good, I'm Gone (Lykkie Li)
What better way to add buzz to their latest release, Pala, than to put out of cover of a song that people can't hate. These guys have a formula and it is continuing to work.
9 She & Him – Oh Boy (Buddy Holly)
When I heard that a tribute album to Buddy Holly was going to be dropped this year I thought "Oh Boy"! Unsure of what to expect I found exactly what I was looking for with this track.
8 Fitz and the Tantrums – Arthur's Theme (Christopher Cross)
This is a silly cover from a silly movie by a band getting a lot of buzz this year. I love it.
7 Hooray for Earth – Lewis Takes Action (Owen Pallet Cover)
This band has caused me to take a step back ever since I started listening to them. No Love, True Loves, and Sails make their full-length debut stand strong. This cover makes me think they are going to be around a while.
6 Bat for Lashes – Strangelove (Depeche Mode)
Natasha Khan continues to be the mark for indie innovation. This pairing just makes sense to me.
5 Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. – Higher Love (Steve Winwood)
After Dodge posted the video of them covering this at the White Cabaret in Indianapolis I was extremely jealous for being out of town. If this does not win you over, I am not quite sure what will. Their cover of The Beach Boys "God Only Knows" deserves to be on this list as well.
4 James Blake – A Case of You (Joni Mitchell)
James Blake and the Dub-step movement has been one of the hottest topics of 2k11. This song makes me believe there is some legitimacy to it.
3 Mr. Little Jeans – Suburbs (Arcade Fire)
Sometimes groups get popular after they have maxed out on buzz via a cover (i.e. First Aid Kit – Tiger Mountain Peasant Song). I thought it would be impossible to cover anything off this album. I was wrong.
2 Bon Iver – I Can Make You Love Me / Nick of Time (Bonnie Raitt)
Justin Vernon's release this year deserves to be album of the year, win a Grammy, and be talked about for the rest of eternity. Opting to play this to national audiences instead of a track on his latest release tells you how good he thinks this is and I would have to agree.
1 Dum Dum Girls – There is a Light That Never Goes Out (Smiths)
This beats out Bon Iver because of the happiness it brings to the table. This cover has given me a newfound respect these four Californian garage poppers. This is number one because I do not think of it just as a cover, I consider it one of my favorite songs of the year.

Two Woodland graduates' stoles set off debate
Officials say school district rules forbade Navy sash being worn
By	Adam Littman, Columbian Staff Writer
Published: June 13, 2019, 7:58pm
Woodland High School. (The Columbian files)
A decision that Woodland High School Principal John Shoup made shortly before the school's graduation ceremony June 7 caused a bit of a stir on the internet, leading to some less-than-friendly calls and emails to the district.
Two students who are entering the U.S. Navy after graduation were presented with stoles — sashes graduates drape around their necks — by a recruiter earlier in the week. The students asked on the day of graduation if they could wear them while they walked in the ceremony, and Shoup said no.
"Our high school commencement exercises are and forever have been a celebration of what students have accomplished in their high school career," Woodland Superintendent Michael Green said.
The district was inundated with so many emails and calls that district officials put out a statement the afternoon of June 9. Green said he was first made aware of some complaints online and on social media that morning.
According to the district's response, "offering special recognition for one student's future plans over those of another's denigrates the plans of other students when their paths aren't recognized equally. In accordance with the student handbook, only three school organizations recognize graduates with special cord adornments — not stoles — serving to identify significant academic accomplishments."
The three ways to be recognized during graduation are to be a student with a GPA in the top 5 percent of the graduating class, students who are National Honor Society members and students who are Woodland Academic Scholars.
"These cords recognize achievements made during a student's academic career, not their plans for the future such as enlisting in the military, attending a college or working as an apprentice," the district's response read.
There was an event the week of graduation to honor students and their future plans, Green said, including scholarships, those going into the military and those going to college. He said that nearly 160 students walked in graduation, and estimated 10 to 12 of them are entering a branch of the military after school ends.
Green said he thinks the statement cleared up some misinformation that was spreading online, as calls and emails have slowed down in more recent days. He also said it has always been the district's policy that the graduation ceremony is intended to honor students' academic accomplishments from high school and not their future plans.

Q: Name of phobia of compromised account security What would, if any, be the name of the phobia of a person who lives in constant fear of others breaking into their accounts / misusing their personal information? I've found some slightly related phobias such as "nomophobia", but none of them are quite what I'm looking for.

A: As kindly suggested by Ermanen and John Lawler, the lack of a particular word might prompt you to coin your own -phobia in this case. Most names for a fear simply comprise the subject of the fear in Greek with phobia(greek for fear) as a suffix.
This site mentions a whole lot of them. The rule about the first word being greek doesn't seem to be a very hard rule there. With it being replaced by a latin word Hispanophobia and Albuminurophobiafor example take the latin words for respectively Spain (don't really know why you'd be afraid of that) and a kidney protein. To indicated fear of Spain, and fear of kidney diseases.
So I guess as long as you pick a word that sounds slighty fancy. You match the phobia criteria I reckon. My suggestions would be:

*

*identitatokleptophobia which is using Latin, but hey who cares:) I wouldn't know if there's a Greek word for identity.

*kleptoelektrophobia or kleptotechnophobia fear of theft by electronic means

*electrokleptophobia or technokleptophobia fear of theft of electronic possessions

As John Lawler has pointed out, techno as a prefix might be a bit broad. However, if you're very strictly sticking to the Greek meaning of the word. Electro actually means amber (the material). Of which our word for electricity might be derived. Which would suggest electrokleptophobia means you're afraid someone is intent on stealing your precious amber:).
Also of course the meaning of these words might be a bit ambiguous. However, this seems to be true for a lot of the words in the list I mentioned before.

Emerging research shows that the LatinX community give generously to invest in systemic change. Yet, few advisors have the competence or cultural know-how to help these donors/clients meet their philanthropic goals.
How might we better engage the LatinX community of donors through our roles as trusted advisors? What do we know about their unique giving journeys? How do they approach philanthropy, and what giving vehicles and strategies appeal to them? How does philanthropic giving affect their financial and estate planning decisions?
In this interactive discussion, Cris Lutz and Dien Yuen will share research on LatinX philanthropists. We'll apply those insights as well as our own experiences as trusted advisors through a case study and open discussion.
Dien Yuen, JD/LLM, CAP®, AEP® is the Executive Director, Center for Philanthropy and Social Impact at The American College of Financial Services and the Blunt-Nickel Professor in Philanthropy. She also serves as Program Director of Purpose School, a program she co-created for those exploring the intersections of purpose and social impact. Dien founded the Advisors of Color Network to increase diversity among philanthropic planning professionals and to support their work through research and content development. Before joining the College, Dien worked in several wealth management firms assisting clients with their philanthropic investments. She has held executive positions in several regional and global development organizations.
Cris Lutz is the Assistant Vice President of Gift Planning at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, which she joined in 2005. She also serves as Chair of the staff Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee.

A few words about Alernative Therapist Xenia Aidonopoulou... - Yes! We Are Stars!
Caring, warm, thought provoking, profound, real, a catalyst, non judgemental, a good listener… Down to earth, honest, committed, dedicated, devoted, a problem solver, sensitive, strong… Sunny, sweet, funny, smart, loyal, self aware… Xenia has been described as all of these things and more… Xenia has also been described as a "diamond".
Xenia calls this site "Yes! We Are Stars!" because she now knows it to be true. She felt quite the opposite about herself for a long long time… Her unique journey from illness to health led her to understand that she is a unique, amazing and wonderful human and individual, as we are all… If you don't know and believe this about yourself, it is because, as Xenia's teacher Petrene says, "your fear, pain and wounds are standing in the way… you simply need to heal…" and you are definitely in the right place to do that!
When Petrene told Xenia in their very first session together that she was suited to working with people and helping them to heal, she could literally not imagine anything further from the truth! Some time later and after having her mind blown by actually beginning to come out of that disabling depression with the help of Petrene, the first thing that Xenia did was to go on to study her methods and techniques.
Therapists and healers cannot really help you or give you or teach you something which they themselves don't already have, know and deeply understand. When you work with Xenia, all of her work, knowledge, dedication, all that she has been through and all of her many good qualities will be with you every step of the way.
When Xenia began her work in Greece, there was no "code" for "Alternative Therapist" at the tax department and so she had to improvise 🙂 By having sessions with Xenia you will be benefiting from and taking advantage of some of the most cutting edge and effective healing practises that exist at this time!
By nature ahead of trends and deeply committed to healing and transformation, Xenia was the first therapist to set up a practise for Rebirthing in Athens, Greece, bringing the unique and powerful form of Rebirthing created and taught by Petrene Soames.
This groundbreaking form of Rebirthing needs only 3 sessions to be complete and is the most advanced and complete form of Rebirthing that currently exists. Xenia is actually also the only therapist in Europe who is offering this form of Rebirthing as well as the advanced healing methods and self healing approaches that she does.
Xenia has made appearances on television to present her work and at one point hosted her own TV show on the local Athenian ecological and vegetarian channel "Tilefos".
As an author, Xenia has written many articles, many of which have been printed in magazines and alternative newspapers. Xenia also takes part in many Alternative Health and Healing Festivals, presenting talks and workshops.
Xenia works in many places within Greece including Spetses, Kalamata, Pilion, Sifnos, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini and others… Also overseas, in the USA, Cyprus, Copenhangen, London, Australia and more… She is always open to creative work ideas and suggestions so please contact her with suggestions and invitations to your area! Xenia works with individuals, small groups and larger audiences.
Continuing on from her natural love for and awareness about animals, Xenia became vegetarian when she was 16 years old. She remained so for a few good years until, in the depths of depression, having lost all confidence in herself and her judgement and desperately wanting to fit in with everyone else in the hopes of regaining some semblance of "normality", she went back to eating "like everybody else".
She became vegetarian again at the beginning of her healing path with Petrene in 1999 and has been vegan since the year 2000. During her time as a vegan she has been a raw foodist for 7 years and a strict fruitarian for 5 of those. While she definitely does not recommend a raw vegan or a fruitarian diet to people, she did learn a great deal about what to do and what not to do from her time eating that way….
Coming from a place of bad health – depression, mental and physical weakness – Xenia has put a great deal of time and passion and got a great deal out of researching around diet and nutrition… The knowledge she has amassed is broad; it goes beyond book learning and the established norm and continues to evolve… She understands that everything is a process, so tries very hard not to be dogmatic when talking about diet with others.
She most definitely, wholeheartedly and with no reservations recommends a simple, whole foods, Vegan or plant based diet. She knows and has experienced that diet and nutrition can be an important part of healing and awareness. Diet and issues around eating are one of many aspects of life and healing that can be looked at during a counseling session and Rebirthing therapy is also something that helps greatly with emotional eating issues.
In the years when we are under a great deal of pressure to supposedly decide on a lifelong career, Xenia was deeply troubled that she, unlike everyone else it seemed to her, did not know or have the confidence to decide what she wanted to do.
She felt she had no choice but to go to university and in an effort to find the meaning of life and a way out of her as yet undiscovered depression, she began a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Philosophy but also studying subjects like Art History, Cinema Studies, English Literature, Women's Writing and African American Writing.

As 3D TV owners crave for more TV programmes to fill the current 3D content void, BBC's cult sci-fi TV drama series Doctor Who has emerged as the television show Brits would most like to see in its 3-dimensional glory, according to a survey carried out by Japanese TV manufacturer Panasonic. Iconic British animated characters Wallace and Gromit came second in the poll results, followed by another BBC offering – the popular car show Top Gear – in third place.
At the other end, the Queen's Speech, and TV cooking shows featuring celebrity chefs Jamie Oliver and Heston Blumenthal were voted as the TV programmes UK viewers would least want to watch if they were broadcast in 3D. Panasonic's report also revealed that British audience prefer, if viewing in 3D, EastEnders over Coronation Street when it comes to soap operas; and X Factor over Strictly Come Dancing in the battle of the UK reality TV shows.
Having invested heavily in 3D product development and marketing, Panasonic is a strong advocate of 3D technology: its VT20 series of plasma displays were among the first 3D TVs to hit UK stores when released back in April this year. While the first half of 2010 was characterised by an almost embarrassing lack of 3D content, the launch of the Sky 3D channel on the 1st of October, and the release of a handful of 3D Blu-ray discs (though most remain exclusive to certain 3DTV brands) had gone some way towards alleviating the situation. Indeed, Panasonic's TV product manager Fabrice Estornel called 2010 the year with "the first 3D Christmas", i.e. the first Christmas where 3D products and content are both readily available to consumers in the United Kingdom.
However, judging from the predominance of BBC programmes in the respondents' 3D wish lists, Brits clearly want cheaper and more easily accessible 3D material from the UK's public broadcaster to watch on their 3D TV sets. Although the BBC currently has no plans to launch a dedicated 3D channel, it did film and screen a 3D Dr Who trailer and a short 3D clip of Strictly Come Dancing in selected 3D cinemas around the country this year, which may yet pave the way for future 3D programming.

It started out perfectly: sun shining, nearly to launch site on time at the outflow below the Upper Yarra Reservoir wall, wetsuited and booted. The outflow pipe gushed into a mini waterfall. The gush landing in what is effectively a small shallow swamp. The glimmer of hope was in the crystal clear water that disappeared behind the tee trees and reeds. Surely behind those reeds was our paddling Nirvana. Or not. The next three hours was a test of thighs and commitment. We dragged our kayaks over logs, over sword grass clumps, over unidentifiable clumps, over everything bar water. Underneath our feet slipped, slid and sunk amid rocks and mud unseen, the odd yabbie cheering us along. That, at least, was a sign the river life and water quality up here, quantity notwithstanding.
A bit of logistical juggling and we finally had water under our hulls at the Big Peninsula, a man made tunnel through rock that was blasted by gold miners wanting cut off the river S-bend to drain it and pan for alluvium (sp?) from the sediments. A bit of history with your adventure never goes astray. The tunnel was tight and as I (Chris) found, not as wide as my kayak is long. Crunch. A swift swipe of the paddle and I was back on course, exiting the tunnel to the billabong below.
The next tunnel came and was conquered by Sacha. Mental note when kayaking tunnels: reccie the entry by all means, but also ensure you reccie the exit. Sacha's screams of delight in holding on turned more suprising as she exited over a larger drop than the first. Kudos…she made it.
Finally we were on a water course where we didn't have to set foot on the riverbed – the difference in travel time being that we covered more than double the morning's distance in about a sixth of the time. So Day 2's 43km is suddenly, from looking impossible, within the realms of possibility.
That is unless you listen to Alan, the owner of Wild Thyme Cafe, the best little joint in Warburton to refuel tired bodies (steaks are actually half cows). Upon hearing our itinerary he just shook his head. "Buckleys". Still, he has plans to do the entire length not in a light, plastic kayak, but in heavy, wooden Viking boats (look out for two of these viking boats joining us for the last leg of the paddle!). In the meantime he introduced us to the local Greening Australia group, who just happened to be in the restaurant. They'll be seeing us on the river for the final day's paddle, Thursday from 11am at Herring Island. Or was that the last glass of red speaking? Greening Australia, you've been challenged by the Challenge.
