dementia patients and sedation

There is an article on the front page of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette today saying that medicare & medicade have started an initiative to stop sedating agitated dementia patients. They feel that patients who are demented to the point of lashing out should instead have personal attention, exercise and music therapy.

UPMC, a huge hospital system here in W. Pa answered back that there is no way there is enough staff to spend one on one time with these patients and that these therapies do not actually work.

Personally, If I went in to visit my parent in a nursing home and she was all violent and agitated I would be way more upset than going in and seeing her sedated and calm. Also, if I were the patient I would rather be sedated than be being tormented by irrational thoughts.

Also, certainly,it is difficult enough to find people who are willing to care for demented patients let alone if they are going to come to work daily and be getting punched, kicked, spit on, urinated on and Lord only knows what else as these are the types of behaviors that cause patients to be sedated in the first place.Ii have seen nurses have handfuls of their hair pulled out and their uniforms ripped apart by agitated patients. I do understand that there are staff who do sometimes appear to over sedate and that can be brought up with the director of the home but to just out & out say no one should be sedated is - IMO - is obviously not being said by anyone who has actually been in the position of caring for demented patients.

First they said we can't restrain anyone so we had to get rid of things like geri chairs - a chair with a table across the front that kept the patient seated and gave them a place to eat or do something if they were able so now the patients wander around all day and frequently fall. Or, if they are in the hospital for medical care they are pulling out all the tubes and lines over and over. I'm not advocating over use of restarints or of overuse of sedation but there has to be a happy medium.

Staff Interview: Rappy 4187

Hello there fellow wikians, and welcome to this special edition of the Staff Interview series! Today, we have a questionnaire filled out by none other than Rappy 4187!

1. When did you become a Wikia Staff Member?

I was hired by Wikia on July 30th, 2012 to fulfill a role on the Community Support Team in a technical position.

2. What department of Wikia do you work in?

I work on the Community Support Team as a Community Technical Support Manager. I mainly respond to technical requests through Special:Contact -- bug reports that involve JavaScript, CSS, advanced templates/infoboxes, and our various extensions and configurations. I also publish the Technical Updates as well as write an occasional blog about the more techy stuff.

3. What do you enjoy most about Wikia?

Hands down: the diversity. Wikia's communities and users are all different and are filled with extensive talent and knowledge. I love working with users to build their communities in the more technical aspects.

4. If I recall correctly, you were a member of the VSTF before being hired by Wikia, right?

Yes, for 4 months prior. The VSTF was a great opportunity for me as I worked on many wikias cleaning up spam and vandalism. This dedicated volunteer group works very hard to keep our communities enjoyable for readers.

5. What is your favorite wiki to hang out at?

Currently, I do not have one ;(- although in my day to day work I am in contact with a great many interesting wikias. That is one of the great things about working here - you get to see and learn so much from the variety of topics that are out there.

6. On average, how many new staff members are hired?

Keep in mind: Wikia Staff is a paid position. As any employer, we hire people as positions become available or when the company sees the need to expand and hire people for new positions.

7. What is it like in San Francisco?

As some may not know, I work remotely from sunny Florida and have only been to San Francisco three times. However, the weather there is so nice compared to Florida's high humidity.

8. What's your advice for anyone interested in becoming a Staff member?

I worked on Wikia as an editor for years. I taught myself how to use wikitext and HTML markup for page design and later branched into CSS and JavaScript to have more control over my wikia's look and feel. I've helped in designing some nice scripts over the years to make my site look different from others, such as this flip through document or this clan card maker.
My advice is to do what you are passionate about and try to learn as much as possible. Help other users out and have fun with what you do. When you feel confident in your knowledge, you can apply for a job directly. Good luck!

9. Aside from Wikia, what else do you enjoy to do?

I enjoy a variety of games, mainly MMOs, as well as movies and TV shows. Frequently, movie quotes have a way of sneaking into my everyday work. (Some people say that I am like Dinozzo from NCIS).

10. If you could be Wikia CEO for 1 day, what would you do?

I’d give everyone a day off -- with pay -- for the awesome job they do (it may be a Saturday though).

Stay tuned for our next edition!

Re: Standing Tall-Cowboy Ethics Workshop

I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the Code of the West's Cowboy Ethics and Cowboy Values. As part of an organization that exemplifies the very heart of this initiative, I was empowered to take away meaning and value from this workshop.  I am thankful to have discovered my own personal "11th principle" and I'm excited to give back, make an impact and pass it on…

With Gratitude,

I have attended two of your seminars this year alone.  One was at the Laramie County Library and then again at the WyoNahro conference.  Although I have to say I have been slow at getting started, I am planning on creating my code after the first of the year.  Thanks for the wonderful presentations.

Resumo: Topical application of natural antioxidants has proven to be effective in protecting the skin against ultraviolet-mediated oxidative damage and provides a straightforward way to strengthen the endogenous protection system. However, natural products can provoke skin adverse effects, such as allergic and irritant contact dermatitis. Skin irritation potential of Castanea sativa leaf ethanol:water (7:3) extract was investigated by performing an in vivo patch test in 20 volunteers. Before performing the irritation test, the selection of the solvent and extraction method was guided by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging test and polyphenols extraction (measured by the Folin Ciocalteu assay). Iron-chelating activity and the phenolic composition (high performance liquid chromatography/diode array detection) were evaluated for the extract obtained under optimized conditions. The extraction method adopted consisted in 5 short extractions (10 min.) with ethanol:water (7:3), performed at 40 degrees. The IC(50) found for the iron chelation and DPPH scavenging assays were 132.94 +/- 9.72 and 12.58 +/- 0.54 microg/ml (mean +/- S.E.M.), respectively. The total phenolic content was found to be 283.8 +/- 8.74 mg GAE/g extract (mean +/- S.E.M.). Five phenolic compounds were identified in the extract, namely, chlorogenic acid, ellagic acid, rutin, isoquercitrin and hyperoside. The patch test carried out showed that, with respect to irritant effects, this extract can be regarded as safe for topical application.

« Fifteen Tory MPs back rebel amendment to recognise marriage in the tax system | Main | Andrew Stephenson calls for prosecutions to be able to appeal against judges' decisions to grant bail »

Martin Callanan suggests David Cameron might need Margaret Thatcher's handbag for the EU budget negotiations

By Jonathan Isaby
Follow Jonathan on Twitter

9pm update:

The BBC confirms that the European Commission wants its budget increased by nealry 5% for the next seven year period. It quotes a British Government spokesman as saying: "A 4.9% increase would not be acceptable to us... We will work very closely with other EU governments to drive the hardest possible bargain."

9.45pm update:

A statement from a Downing Street spokesman just released reads:

"The EU budget increase that the Commission has proposed today is unrealistic. Britain and the EU's other largest payers made clear in December that the EU budget should be frozen, and we will stick to that.  The EU has to take the same tough measures as national Governments are taking across Europe to tackle public deficits. That means a restrained EU budget focused on the things that will get our economy growing."

"Britain will also oppose new EU taxes which will introduce additional burdens for business and damage EU competitiveness. And we will continue to protect the rebate – without it, the UK’s net contribution as a percentage of national income would be the largest across the EU, twice as large as France’s and Italy’s, and almost 1½ times bigger than Germany’s."

CALLANAN MARTINToday's Daily Mail reported European Commission plans for an inflation-busting 12% increase in the EU Budget, whilst the Independent reported that it wants to introduce a new EU-wide tax.

Martin Callanan, the eurosceptic leader of the Conservative MEPs, has reacted angrily to those suggestions, along with rumoured efforts to completely abolish the British rebate.

Agreeing the European-wide "Multiannual Financial Framework" for 2014-2020 is set to dominate discussions at a European level during the second half of the year and today Callanan proposed three red lines over which he believes the UK should not step in the negotiations - and where he believes the UK Government should threaten to use its veto:

  1. any reductions to the UK rebate;
  2. any new taxes levied at a supranational level;
  3. any increase in spending.

He explained:

"Just as national governments and households are having to prioritise their spending, so should the EU. This kind of opportunity to adjust the priorities of the EU budget comes only every seven years so we must not pass it up. The budget should provide value for money by investing in infrastructure and research, not by funding cultural programmes and tobacco farms.

"Unfortunately the prevalent mood in Brussels is towards a budgetary reform that would see more British taxpayers' money spent by Brussels, with Eurocrats deciding our levels of taxation in the future. This is completely unacceptable and the British government should not hesitate to use its veto powers if necessary.

"The current EU budget has been proven to be riddled with errors and spent on many wasteful projects. Instead of more EU spending we need smarter and better controlled EU spending so that the EU does less and provides better value for money.

"While Mr Cameron can rely on Conservative MEPs for support, regrettably the wider European Parliament has very different ideas for how this budget should look. The European Parliament sees 'more Europe' as the solution to any problem, and it also sees more EU spending as a panacea.

"These negotiations are bound to be tough for the Prime Minister. He may need to borrow Baroness Thatcher's handbag* for them."

* If David Cameron is after a Thatcher handbag, this one was alas sold at auction this week.

Keselowski-Busch feud escalates Now, we got War

“Now, we got war,” was the warning issued by Brad Keselowski after Kyle Busch dumped him in the Nationwide Series race at Kansas Speedway on Saturday.

 The battle between the brash 20-somethings of NASCAR was rekindled after Busch dumped Keselowski on Lap 188

Keselowski climbed from his mangled car, motioned at his nemesis, patted his back side then sprinted to the infield care center, where he was seen and released. With less than 10 laps remaining in the race, Keselowski darted back to the NNS garage in a golf cart but didn’t have enough time to return to competition and finished 28th.

“He’s a dirty driver; there’s no other way of putting it,” Keselowski said. “He’s cool with that. I’ve raced him real cool over the last year to try to be respectful to him and trying to repair our relationship. I’ve watched him wreck my trucks, cost me from winning races, put me in the fence at Chicago in the truck race. Nationwide races, he’s been pulling this crap.

“It’s not going to last. I can tell you that. I feel bad for the guys next to me (pointing to the No. 54 hauler). They’re going to have to fix his (crap).”

Busch, who finished fourth, found Keselowski’s use of “dirty driver” ironic.

brad-kyle_small Keselowski-Busch feud escalates Now, we got War

Brad Keselowski knows what dirty drivers are because he’s done it plenty of times,” Busch said. “I have yet to wreck a person on purpose.”

Busch said he simply became tight on the race track and slid across the back of him. He wasn’t sure why the No. 22 Ford “wasn’t fast enough to stay away from” the No. 54 Toyota.

“I was faster than he was for as tight as I was — and when I got underneath him a little bit there off of Turn 4, I got inside of his wake and got too close to him and it pulled me right into him,” Busch said. “Once we touched, he was gone.”

However, Busch believed that Keselowski was blocking him during the race Saturday.

“A prime example of that was down the front straightaway and the back straightaway a couple times,” Busch said. “He came down and blocked me and actually ran into me. I didn’t appreciate that very much.

“But I’m not out there to take vengeance on a Nationwide Series championship. I’ve got bigger fish to fry on Sundays than on Saturdays.”

Although race winner Matt Kenseth was leading at the time of the duel between the Nos. 22 and 54, Keselowski said before the wreck, “it was good hard racing, it was probably going to be for the win,” before the caution came out for his spin.

“It’s doubtful that the 18 would have run out of gas; maybe it would,” Keselowski said. “But the odds were in the favor of whoever was going to win the battle between me and Kyle. So I’m sure Kyle knew that. He didn’t want me to race him hard so he just dumped me down the straightaway. I think that’s pretty self-explanatory.

“And I’m not going to stand for it. He’s got a lot more to lose than I do. I guess that’s the only good thing about not being in the Chase.”

Both Keselowski and Busch acknowledged attempts at smoothing out an ongoing feud that has spread from trucks to Nationwide and the Sprint Cup tour. Last season during Keselowski’s championship run, a détente was established between the racers, but now with the tables turned and Busch in the title hunt and the champ on the outside looking in, all bets are off.

“We were good,” Keselowski said. “We’ve had a solid year of racing each other and now we got war. He started it and he can have fun with the results.”

Busch has no desire to apologize to Keselowski. He told, “I don’t have Brad Keselowski’s phone number. Don’t need it, don’t want it. He didn’t call me after Watkins Glen.”

Busch still believes that the wreck between him and Keselowski last year on the last lap at Watkins Glen four races before the Chase started cost him a berth in the playoffs.

“I think I’m a bigger man than he is, because last year at Watkins Glen he crashed me out of a Chase spot, and ultimately I went on through the rest of the year and had some opportunities to race him hard or dirty and wreck him and get myself paid back, but I didn’t,” Busch said.

“I was the bigger man there and let him and Jimmie (Johnson) race it out. Texas, the last couple restarts there, I could have taken full advantage of it and didn’t. It just goes to show you what kind of person Brad is.”

Theater: Cold Fire

That Summer—That Fall, by Frank D. Gilroy. Fate is a fury, and it cannot be dramatically served at room temperature. Like meteors, the heroes and heroines of tragedy consume themselves in flaming arcs of passion as they streak across the night sky of destiny. Playwright Gilroy (The Subject Was Roses) has had the dubious inspiration to modernize the Phaedra plot of Euripides and Racine and play it cool. His drama is as incendiary as a wet match head.

A paunchy, middle-aged Italian restaurant owner (Richard Castellano) discovers that he has an illegitimate son from a long-past liaison. The boy (Jon Voight) is...

Hylomorphic Dan

A philosopher by the name of Edward Feser discusses Steely Dan:

""""Even the most casual listener will agree that the “Steely Dan sound” is quite unlike that of any other contemporary pop group. (For you music buffs, there is even such a thing as the “Steely Dan chord.”) Part of this has to do with the heavy jazz influence the band’s principals Walter Becker and Donald Fagen bring to their music. Part of it has to do with Fagen’s unique vocals: Anyone other than Fagen singing “Deacon Blues” (say) is pretty much just doing karaoke, so essential is his distinctive voice and style to the overall Steely Dan aesthetic. But there is also the perfectionistic “smoothness” and polish Becker and Fagan famously bring to every tune, an effect that requires intensive studio work. Indeed, playing live was from the beginning something Becker and Fagen did only extremely reluctantly. Steely Dan has always been essentially a studio band – not only in the sense of emphasizing recording over live performance, but in the sense of frequently using studio musicians in an ad hoc way rather than having (apart from Becker and Fagen themselves) a permanent roster of players, and in the sense of relying crucially on various studio mixing techniques to achieve certain effects that would have been otherwise impossible.

Especially after the mid-1970s, with each individual song on a given album, Becker and Fagen would seek out those session players whose strengths were most suited to it. Different players would often do multiple takes, followed by other players doing further takes on the same part, until exactly the sound Becker and Fagen had in mind was achieved. Often the finished song would combine the work of various musicians who hadn’t actually played together in any one session. Moreover, part of one solo might be combined with part of another. “To create absolute millisecond-perfect drum tracks,” Sweet tells us, “a drum machine, a computer, a live drummer or combination of all three” might be used (p. 121). And so forth. And yet the end result would be absolutely seamless. The way the “Steely Dan sound” was honed to perfection in the famous Aja sessions has been described at length not only in Sweet’s book, but in Don Breithaupt’s book Aja and in the DVD Classic Albums: Steely Dan – Aja. ....."

Professor Feser here responds to some negative commentary on pop-rock music (from Scruton). Though I generally do not agree with Feser's libertarian views--or his neo-Thomist religious views-- I am in agreement with Feser for the most part in regards to defending some rock and jazz music against the classical-only snobs, though Feser does take a somewhat clinical view of the Dan's sound. Along with the great musicians, modern studio technology itself contributed to that smooth Dan sound and mystique, as did Fagen's lyrics, which are not so smooth, but rather noirish (though at times maybe bittersweet, like kirschwasser from a shell).

That said, I am sympathetic to Scruton's slight-Ludditism in regards to real music. Rachmaninoff required no synthesizer or 24 tracks of whack, nor did Charlie Parker.
Steely Dan may need their plush downtown studios, but they don't depend on celebrity -spectacle, as do the usual rock/pop/rap stars. In terms of Scruton's definition of rock star as sort of bogus-priest, Steely Dan appears to be excluded. In terms of moving say Absolut vodka, however, the Dan certainly has some libertarian cred.

As soon as I could turn my back on my kids with the safety scissors, I knew it was only a matter of time before they decided to give themselves (or each other) a trim.

A far better way to scratch their itch to play hairdresser, comes in a handy go-anywhere app where the customers are always willing, the hair always grows back, and there is no need to schedule an emergency hair dresser appointment.

The Toca Hair Salon app by Toca Boca turns your device into a virtual hair salon to four gullible–I mean, cheerful–clients, two of which are not even human.

Toca Hair Salon app

From the realistic “snip” sounds of the scissors, to the hilarious faces the clients make when the blowdryer hits their face, this app is too cute for the kids to get to play alone. Even I like to take a turn spraying different colors, combing and even “growing” hair back with some sort of magic elixir.

There is no time limit and no right-and-wrong, so even very young kids will be able to play it alone. Which is more than I can say about leaving them alone with the safety scissors. Christina

Toca Hair Salon was created by Sweden’s Toca Boca and is available for the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad.

Vince Gill Gives Couple Once-In-A-Lifetime Engagement Experience

Vince gill Songs | Vince Gill Gives Couple Once-In-A-Lifetime Engagement Experience | Country Music Videos
Photo credit: Jalyn Cotton Facebook

Saturday night was a big night for Vince Gill as he celebrated his 25th anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Gill marked the milestone surrounded by family and friends including country legends Bill Anderson, Rodney Crowell, and Patty Loveless as well as Gill's wife and daughter, Amy Grant and Jenny Gill.

Throughout the night Gill performed some of his biggest hits including "Go Rest High On That Mountain," with the help of Patty Loveless, and "House of Love" his 1994 duet with Amy Grant. Opry attendees were given a special treat when Vince's set ran an hour longer than scheduled.

While Vince Gill was being celebrated on stage, a couple in the audience was celebrating their engagement....something that Gill had a special hand in just moments before taking the stage. In a post made to her social media pages, Jalyn Cotton shared that her boyfriend, Ben, proposed to her during a backstage tour of the Grand Ole Opry where Vince Gill was doing a soundcheck prior to his anniversary celebration. Gill noticed the couple and asked them to join him on stage for a dance while he serenaded them. Talk about a night to remember!

Congratulations to the happy couple! Watch the emotional engagement video below.

    Charles Haley on the Training Camp Report

    Here's Charles Haley with Brad Sham and Nate Newton at Cowboys Camp...

    It's a shame that a guy who deserves to be recognized for his play on the field is being punished because he wasn't the greatest participant when it came to the media.

It would probably run faster if I made it use HTML::TableExtract or HTML::TableContentParser, but I couldn't be bothered to learn the former's interface and the latter does not support HTML entities, and I already know how to use the bloated monstrosity known as 'HTML::DOM,' even though its interface is horrible clunky. =head1 PREREQUISITES HTML::DOM 0.010 Text::CSV_XS =head1 SCRIPT CATEGORIES Web =head1 AUTHOR AND COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2007 Father Chrysostomos (gro.napc ta tuorps [backwards]) This program is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as perl. =head1 SEE ALSO L and L, which this script uses.

 Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders this Xmas – The Post

Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders this Xmas

December 26th, 2012 7:05 am| by admin

It’s been 53 years since they started and 42 since they broke up, but Beatlemania doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Least of all in Copenhagen, where later this month Forum will be playing host to the country’s largest-ever theatre concert, Hey Jude, featuring reworked and reimagined music from the legendary Liverpudlian rock band.

The show is following in the footsteps of the critically-acclaimed 2009 Come Together production at Gasværket, where such Beatles anthems as ‘Yesterday’, ‘Revolution’, ‘All You Need is Love’ and ‘Eleanor Ribgy’ were for the first time ever readapted to fit the theatrical musings of Nikolaj Cederholm and the company at Gasværket.

A theatre concert .... mmmh, somebody somewhere doesnÂ’t like the term jukebox muscialLike something straight out of the fab four’s psychedelic Sgt Pepper phase, Come Together was a theatre concert (a term Cederholm grounded in the 1990s when he himself was onstage performing Dr Dante at Aveny in Frederiksberg) without plot or dialogue, with avant-garde costumes and well-known rock tunes transformed into wonderfully weird symphonies unlike anything heard before. The production had the critics singing their six-star praises, and this December,

Come Together twin-duo creators Peter and Jens Helleman are once again teaming up with director Nikolaj Cederholm to bring the music of The Beatles to the stage, this time as Denmark’s largest ever theatre concert event at Forum, with a whopping 4,200 seats per performance.

“We invite the audience to a party with colour, good music and stomach-flipping special effects,” says Cederholm of the new show. “We can promise that it will be a surprising and dynamic show with constantly shifting voices and pictures.”

Hey Jude will include 30 reinvented Beatles classics, including ‘Let it Be’, ‘She Loves You’, ‘Blackbird’, ‘Lady Madonna’ and of course, ‘Hey Jude’.  But don’t necessarily expect to recognise each song – at least not right away – as much of the music has been reinterpreted and remade thanks to influences ranging from opera to classical to punk. Yoko definitively would approve.

... Hey Jude, don't make it bad .. “The show is for everyone: Beatles fans, theatre concert fans (and those who have never heard of the concept), 12-year-old children and their 90-year-old grandparents,” Cederholm continues. “Hey Jude embraces the whole family and is a great family outing for anyone who loves music and life in general – regardless of age.”

Onstage will be The Storm lead singer and X Factor judge Pernille Rosendahl, who will be making her concert theatre debut alongside Cecilie Stenspil and actor Troels Lyby, both currently performing in the musical Next to Normal at Nørrebro Teater. And to all those who loved Come Together, both Jimmy Jørgensen and Mark Linn will be returning to once again tackle The Beatles collection onstage, this time promising an even more psychedelic and no holds barred performance.

Considering Jørgensen was hanging by his ankles while floating above the audience singing ‘Across the Universe’ at Gasværket, we can’t even begin to imagine what madness lies in store at Forum!

Hey Jude Theatre Concert
Forum, Julius Thomsens Plads 1, Frederiksberg; starts 28 Dec, ends 15 Jan, performance times vary; Tickets 365-575kr; www.billetlugen.dk, 7026 3267
