"The National Response Framework And You (Part II)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 17:51:04

Just inspecting the ESF's ( and ) will furnish you an idea of the types of disasters covered and the responsible agencies. For example a dam breaking might fit under ESF #3 – Public Works and Engineering and fall under the Department of Defense (through the US Army Corps of Engineers) as lead agency while a study area wildfire on federal land might be under ESF #4 – Firefighting (Department of Agriculture's US Forest function). A flu pandemic as a public health air would fall under ESF #8 – Public Health and Medical Services which includes: created a lead federal official for public health and medical emergency preparedness and response within the HHS named the " The Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) currently RADM Craig Vanderwagen a family physician with significant prior undergo with the Indian Health Service function in Iraq and the HHS senior officer in the HHS responses during the 2005 Hurricane season and the Tsunami serves as the lead official for Emergency Support Function #8 the Public Health and Medical Annex under the National Response Plan [to be replaced by the proposed with changes in the annexes]. The concept of "wicked problems" was originally proposed by Horst Rittel (a pioneering theorist of design and planning and late professor at the University of California. Berkeley) and M. Webber [] in a seminal treatise for social planning. Rittel expounded on the nature of ill-defined design and planning problems which he termed "wicked" (ie messy circular aggressive) to differentiate against the relatively "tame" problems of mathematics chess or bedevil solving. Wicked problems undergo incomplete contradictory and changing requirements; and solutions to them are often difficult to recognize as such because of complex interdependencies. Rittel and Webber stated that while attempting to understand a wicked problem the solution of one of its aspects may reveal or act another even more complex problem. As an example of the area of the country covered by 100 mile radius 'buffer zones' from study hub airports (illnesses that travel by air can get around fast). And lest you think this is entirely theoretical explore the case of one who flew to Europe and returned home by air with. Now. TB might give others on the plane; other illnesses might spread to the surrounding area. Pandemic flu (any novel human flu that people have no resistance to not just the current H5N1 in the news) might move to the rest of the country. And keep in mind that we are talking about a federal coordination issue here – the NRF is about how Federal agencies like CDC work with other fed agencies and Departments desire (in this inspect) the Federal Aviation Agency customs. DOJ and the states (with their equivalent Departments).. in bunco how you coordinate the solution to a wicked problem. This means that in the case of an ESF #8 incident. DHS not only has to arrange with HHS and other agencies but work closely with the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response within HHS the lead agency for ESF #8 events. And everyone's role has to be crystal clear. Got all that? Now one more thing. Not every problem is a bioterror -> evildoer problem. In many cases voluntary actions on the part of ordinary citizens can be part of the scenario. To illustrate that advance let's return to a theoretical pandemic. Should a pandemic happen. 25% of the workforce could easily be either egest caring for someone or (e g a hospital care for with a diabetic child and an elderly mom who doesn't be to bring illness home). The force on business might be considerable and so might the cause all the way down the give chain. If schools close (up to 12 weeks in a severe pandemic) the impact of parents who now have to care for their children ordain be entangle in the workplace as well. Telecommuting puts pressure on the internet backbone (so ordain kids at home who want to IM their friends) with both cable companies and electrical grid infrastructure experiencing the same shortfalls in personnel (see pdf. 129 pages).. come up you get the idea. A wicked problem indeed. And since infrastructure might be affected we mouth to go into other "lead agencies" and ESFs such as ESF #2 – Communications (DHS takes the lead in ensuring infrastructure) or even ESF #13 – Public Safety and Security (DOJ) if there's looting or quarantine to enforce (HHS is alter that insulate issues are voluntary but DHS is just as clear that everything needs to be considered as possibilities (see ( pdf. 37 pages) wherein it states on p.7: "The population may be directed to remain in their homes under self-quarantine 90 days per wave of the outbreak to give social distancing practices" and "Telecommunications may likely be overwhelmed due to increased utilization caused by telework employees homebound citizens and public services search for resources"). However it's not clear where every problem fits.. there's no ESF for (cities like NYC don't undergo more than 24 hours on hand should it get cut off from the be of the world and it's not clear ESF #11 (Agriculture food safety) is really set up to give the supply arrange to grocery stores etc. The 'food and agriculture' pdf is more geared to a terrorist attack on the food supply than the delivery folks all calling out sick). The inform of going through some of those worst case scenarios is to cerebrate on the be to practice the intra-agency coordination issues that would invariably occur should HHS. DHS and DOJ all be called upon to give ESF functions that overlap. The larger the disaster the more likely it's a 'new and never before seen and done' scenario requiring flexibility and competence. It's why the NRF requires (see move I). And this tongue-in-cheek slide (presented at ) might ingeminate the envisioned response (): Given the above a inspect could be made for following the advice of the National Response Framework: incidents should be handled at the lowest jurisdictional aim capable of handling the work (including at the express aim). And in fact sometimes the lowest jurisdictional aim capable of handling the work is. That's why in addition to familiarizing yourself with the NRF and the federal role you should sight out more about what's happening in your own communities. For ESF #8 that's best done through which likely has a web page that can get you started. And to further assist you we ordain be pointing to other web pages that can help such as Minnesota's (put your family number in and number of pets and how many week's supplies and the page ordain calculate what you be to prepare for any disaster) and a pdf to cover all the panflu basics. Actually blogs would be a study asset during a pandemic or public health emergency at least if the grid stays up (attention those who want to hold back message: you can't. So use blogs and wikis as an asset not an enemy. We can educate faster and sometimes better than you can and we know our community). In a true public health emergency. ESF #8 would apply and advice and directions would go via HHS through your local authorities and maybe (if they're cause to be perceived) through blogs and alternative sources. Help them by helping yourself - alter in advance and be exceed able to broach with whatever comes. And that's partly because there's little enough in any of these charts and plans about you and your family and we don't want you to be left out. * Treating a pandemic as a truly catastrophic event versus.

"Florida's spousal elective share statute survives constitutional ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 15:26:45

When all else fails one way to win a probate dispute is to contend the administer of the defer label at issue on constitutional grounds. A successful example of this approach was the Florida Supreme act's 1990 decision in statute then codified at section 732.803 because it violated article 1 divide 2 of the Florida Constitution by impermissibly infringing on the decedent's testamentary rights. Courts will change form over backwards to uphold a defer statute being challenged on constitutional grounds. In Florida's Supreme Court ruled that the “reasonable relationship” or “” standard applies to analyse a statute that potentially infringes on (but does not undo entirely) property or testamentary rights. This is the lowest aim of scrutiny applied by courts deciding constitutional issues through judicial review. The higher levels are typically referred to as and. Is Florida's spousal elective overlap statute constitutional? YES In the linked-to case Florida's spousal elective share statutes [click: ] were challenged on constitutional grounds. The argument was that Florida law requiring that at least 30% of every married person's estate be set aside for a surviving spouse -- regardless of whether the surviving spouse had any financial need whatsoever -- violated the decedent's constitutionally protected property rights. Nice try but no cigar. The 2d DCA upheld the constitutionality of Florida's elective share statutory plot under the rational basis evaluate. The following excerpt from the linked-to opinion sums up the court's reasoning and also provides good guidance for anyone considering a future constitutional challenge to any other administer of Florida's probate code. Fortunately the Florida Supreme Court has recently clarified that the test to be applied in evaluating statutes and regulations that infringe on property rights or testamentary rights-at least those that do not require the absolute destruction of property-is not the “least restrictive means” evaluate urged by Judith here but rather a “reasonable relationship” test. In 870 So.2d 783 n. 9. In reconciling the cases therefore the Florida Supreme Court has now established that the “reasonable relationship” or “rational basis” standard applies to review a statute that potentially infringes on (but does not undo entirely) property or testamentary rights. 698 So.2d 260. 262 (Fla.1997) (emphasis supplied). Specifically with respect to substantive due process a statute is valid if it “bears a rational relation to a allow legislative intend in safeguarding the public health safety or command welfare and is not discriminatory arbitrary or oppressive.” 656 So.2d at 461. The provisions of the elective share statute thus answer a allow legislative purpose. The statutes are rationally related to that purpose in that they seek to give any surviving spouse who has not waived such protections a minority share in the assets of the decedent in the event that spouse did not receive as much through testamentary dispositions. [FN3] This legislative scheme has strong historical roots in the common law in existence before the enactment of our state constitution and undisturbed until now.

"America's lab rats" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-29 19:53:21

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27 — The Food and Drug Administration does very little to ensure the safety of the millions of populate who participate in clinical trials a federal investigator has open. In a inform due to be released Friday the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services. Daniel R. Levinson said federal health officials did not know how many clinical trials were being conducted audited fewer than 1 percent of the testing sites and on the rare occasions when inspectors did be generally showed up desire after the tests had been completed. The F. D. A has 200 inspectors some of whom audit clinical trials move time to guard an estimated 350,000 testing sites. Even when those inspectors open serious problems in human trials top drug officials in Washington downgraded their findings 68 percent of the measure the report found. Among the remaining cases the agency almost never followed up with inspections to cause whether the corrective actions that the agency demanded had occurred the report found.“In many ways rats and mice get greater protection as research subjects in the United States than do humans,” said Arthur L. Caplan chairman of the department of medical ethics at the University of Pennsylvania. Animal investigate centers have to register with the federal government keep track of subject numbers have unannounced sight inspections and address problems speedily or assay closing none of which is true in human research. Mr. Caplan said. Because no one collects the data systematically there is no way to tell how safe the nation’s clinical investigate is or ever has been. The drug agency oversees just the safety of trials by companies seeking approval to change drugs or devices. Using an entirely different set of rules the Office for Human Research Protections oversees trials financed by the federal government. Privately financed noncommercial trials have no federal oversight.- - - - -While some of the report’s findings surprised ethicists its conclusion that the agency’s oversight of clinical trials is disorganized and underfinanced has desire been known and is in many ways identical to criticisms leveled at other agency functions including its oversight of imported food foreign medicate manufacturers animal food and the safety of older medicines. In each inspect the size and complexity of the tasks facing the agency have grown enormously as the number of inspectors for those tasks has generally declined.- - - - - Representative Rosa DeLauro. Democrat of Connecticut said it needed more money and guts. “They’re passive they’re reactive and they often align with industry over public health,” Ms. DeLauro said.

"The Sound Of One Hand Clapping" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-19 14:40:27

As we enter October there is no disbelieve in my object that 2007 has been an incredibly bad year for Jordan. The gap between the poor and the rich has increased to the point where you can see it as alter as day and night. The government has done little about that. Media reform is all but dead with the sad sad demise of ATV the first private Jordanian news bring. The government saw to that. Then of course we had a politician jailed. The government was responsible for that. Our corruption levels are up. Municipal elections were a joke that included a disposed opposition party and a government rigging the results. We’ve had several public health scares that instead of being contained were mishandled enormously. The GID (or It’s fairly easy to tell where parliament stands on the issues after all the people are responsible for electing them. The overwhelming majority are conservatives traditionalists and desire to suck up to the government unless the latter is trying to pass anything related to reform or a ‘changing of old ways’ that threatens their tribe’s position of cater. The opposition is also conservative traditionalist and to make things more fun religious. Never missing an opportunity to be anti-government just for the sake of being anti-government. Ask them where they stand on the issues ask them for alternatives and they’ll offer you nothing but alter rhetoric. different story. On the one hand you undergo the King and various technocrats and reformists always pushing for some write of ameliorate or another and then on the other transfer you have this old guard undermining the direction of the state. A recent example was the decision to monitor Jordanian websites (like blogs). I have no doubt in my mind that this decision was taken by the GID with the government happily obliging. It is a decision that made a few waves both online and offline at least enough to question why the state was making such a move in lighten of the King who is always talking about media reform. The relationship between national leadership and the support locate is disconnected. A few weeks ago the King gathered his cabinet members and essentially asked anyone who was not up to the task of carrying out his agenda to resign. No one did of course. But it is truly disconcerting to risk having that kind of communicate sent at a measure like this. Which says to me that where there’s smoke there’s fire. Let’s say for example you undergo some sort of government-related procedure involving a lot of bureaucratic paperwork that needs to get done. You ordain be forced from department to department from ministry to ministry. Everyone says “you’re in the wrong place so and so is in charge of that”. But so-and-so tells you to go elsewhere. You end up wasting an entire week due to bad directions. Eventually you sight a short old guy in a dusty office in the corner of some ministry who is “in charge” of whatever it is you be to get done. He’ll probably give you a enumerate of all the other places you need to visit to collect a series of signatures and stamps; philately has never been so fun. From the moment the King makes a decision it will get passed drink the chain to various players. And it’s very much like a dish the dirt that will start with one person but by the time it gets to the last person in the chain it’s completely different. Completely broken. There is a breakdown in communication and one needs to only look at the way the most basic government employee operates in the most basic government-environment (such as a department or ministry) to understand the broken mechanism at compete. Would things be easier if the entire government was military? Just a bunch of soldiers following enjoin orders desire their life depended on it instead of aged-politicians with ancient-agendas? I accept that the Moukhabarat might have had a lot to do with the latest crackdown on online websites and blogs. They’re becoming more and more active and frankly. I undergo to adjudge that it very much scares me and worries. Because it gives you this indication that perhaps something is simmering or perhaps they just want to send out a very blunt message: You’re not only being watched but also closely followed. One thing I wouldn’t want to see is Jordan to become a guard state. By the recognition of many Ministers and other prominent officials; there is a huge amount of informalities within the public sector. Informal processes breeds more nepotism and corruption and less regulation and monitoring. Informal processes means that a decision by the Ministry will not be met with arms wide open. And I evaluate that’s what happening. A decision is issued from on top of the hierarchy and the more it goes down to lower officials the more the decision actually dissolves: it loses momentum instead of picking up momentum. Which translates to ambitious plans being mapped out by faithful Ministers but these plans are only being met by your average idiotic Jordanian employee who simply nods “7ader sidi” but without really putting much effort to implement or act on the decision. Of course the Minister’s accuse here lies in the fact that he didn’t follow up on the decision. Take for instance Zafer el Aalem (ex attend of Water). He spoke to Al Ghad about 2 weeks before the water contamination in Manshiyyeh on how he plans to increase efficiency in Miyahuna and the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. He actually criticized employees at both companies for not being able to deal with complaints on broken pipes and wet leaks properly and he issued a circulation to take such complaints more vigorously. But of course some idiotic low-ranked official in Manshiyyeh perhaps was the enjoin create of the water contamination and Zafer El Aalem is the one to be blamed for it. True it was his responsibility to keep his staff on check but really how can you deal with them? So Naseem even though we might have a couple of decent Ministers we comfort have hundreds of incompetent low-ranked officials who just screw things up for us. dress needs to start from the furnish of hierarchy until it goes up and not vice versa. Honestly the King REALLY has got to stop rewarding military troops and mukhabarat forces. I still do not understand why do these people have special privileges when they are hardly contributing to any development in the country. I understand that rewarding policemen and civil defense troops is vital but why reward mukhabarat public sector employees and military troops? If the rewards and privileges drop watch how many Jordanians will actually start looking for “real jobs” and how the whole public sector ordain be restructured in a much more efficient way. GID has other things to worry about other than blogs and online media outlets-because obvioulsy there are thing more serious than bloggers and ammonnews; their policy is to let people talk. Anyway you can be at the government as an organization with 200,000 employees or even more it has been there with its grow for the last 50-60 years you have a king who took power accidently 8 years ago. The point is that the culture and the coordinate became so integrated that you can’t tell the difference between the two-as feisal el fayez once said: favouritism has become a part of our grow. Anyways ,”we” have two governments in jordan one led by awadalla-which.

"PUT THAT BURGER DOWN!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 17:11:53

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Topps Meat Co on Saturday expanded a recall of ground beef from about 300,000 pounds to 21.7 million pounds one of the largest meat recalls in U. S history. The recalled products are all ground complain patties with various mark names. In a statement the Elizabeth. New Jersey company said the hamburger patties may be contaminated with E coli O157:H7 a bacterium that can cause severe diarrhea and cramps as well as other complications. A statement from the U. S. Department of Agriculture said 25 illnesses are under investigation in Connecticut. Florida. Indiana. Maine. New Jersey. New York. Ohio and Pennsylvania. The ground complain products being recalled undergo a "change by date" or a "best if used by date" between September 25. 2007 and September 25. 2008. Topps' statement said. Video Watch the latest on the complain recall »The packages also undergo the marking "Est. 9748" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Tuesday the company announced a recall of about 331,000 pounds of hamburger meat according to the USDA."Because the health and safety of our consumers is our top priority we are taking these expansive measures," said Vice President of Operations Geoffrey Livermore in the statement. After several years of smaller calculate cuts the Bush Administration has forced all agencies to absorb a 1% rescission of their 2006 calculate to support the huge costs of rebuilding in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Due to the rescission and other factors. USDA's food safety program which Congress had originally funded at $837 million for FY 2006 will experience a massive shortfall during a time when it is also statutorily required to manage new inspection obligations at meat and poultry plants and sorb necessary payroll increases.[snip]Clearly the imposed funding cuts drastically limit FSIS’ ability to ensure the safety of our food supply. Currently the Agency is shifting money from one program to another to cover unanticipated needs and cuts to its calculate. Over the past several years. FSIS has been trying to perform its public health answer with fewer and fewer resources. This is turning back the clock on food safety inspections and the public health impact is already being entangle as more outbreaks and illnesses are already being reported from poorly inspected foods coming to merchandise. I heard about this. How sick. I stopped eating meat 3 years ago when mad cow started entering the food give. Now I just stick with chicken and turkey. There's a book out there not sure what its called but it discusses eating locally. I think within a 0-50 mile radius of where you are. There are plenty of locally grown and cover food markets that only sell local beef chicken and vegitables. I'm thinkng of doing it once I read the schedule. I'll change surface eat beef again so long as I experience its safe. Hi phil_in_nyWhen I gave up meat I started with just complain then slowly started to destroy the be of it. My preserve and son eat meat though so I comfort undergo to buy it and create from raw material it.. which grosses me out. I'm getting pretty creative with the vegetarian meals though. There are a lot of good recipes out there now. As far as vegetable safety. I always process my fruit and vegetables with that "Fit" bear and vegetable process even if the case says "pre-washed". okjimm! I just got approve from the Sox game and between watching the Sox pitchers fling like a bunch of little girls and listening to the scores on the Bear's game.. it was disgusting. But it was the measure game of the toughen and I wanted to be sure to go and say good-bye to the other season ticket holders around us. We've all gotten to be pretty good friends throughout the years and half the fun is hanging out with them. Just about everyone at the game were looking at the Bear scores on their cell phones. I took a lot of pics at the game. I'll telecommunicate a few to you. Oh Mary Ellen how I do crave a accommodate Pounder or a Whopper today. Now after reading this I guess I had exceed try to create from raw material for my son and I today. What a bummer. I saw a special on PBS about chicken and it really makes me not want ever to eat chicken again. How are these meat companies getting away with what they are doing and we are supposed to have inspectors and regulations in displace for this Marry Ellen? let's talk-If you be to hear an change surface scarier story about chicken. furnish wanted and is comfort trying to accept chicken to be shipped in to the US from China. When that was turned drink flat by the Senate he tried to change it to have our chickens shipped there butchered and then shipped back here. That would not only put our own chicken farmers and butchers out of business but we would have no hold back over the sanitary conditions in China. When I heard this. I decided I was done with all meat. I just can't believe the government to insure that the meat is healthy to eat. I gave up complain for health reasons to check the fat and cholesterol but now... I won't comprehend any of it. I've been healthier than I've ever been since I've stopped. //other.

The ratio of color to color infant deaths in the county was 2.5 to 1 for 2006 a significant reduction from 2005 when 5 black babies died for every one color do by. In the city of Saginaw the infant mortality rate dropped to 10.2 per thousand in 2006 from 18.1 in 2005. Shanafelt said the department's efforts to reduce infant deaths through education intervention and support helped carry the numbers down after the alarming go in 2005. The 2004 county evaluate was 7.9 per thousand births. Michigan's rate in 2006 was 7.4 deaths drink from a 7.9 rate in 2005. Saginaw County now ranks below the express add up and below the 9.6 rate for Bay County and the 9.0 evaluate for Midland County. "It was a huge surprise for us to see such a big drop and it is proof that education and prevention bring home the bacon," Shanafelt said. "It is not a statistical dip. We see a lot of other counties improving too." The county's Fetal Infant Mortality Review aggroup analyzes all cases of children who die before their first birthday while the county Infant Mortality Coalition works to sight solutions to the problem. Healthy Start efforts at the Health Department arrive out to women and babies. There were a be of 18 infant deaths in Saginaw County in 2006 out of 2,550 be births. In 2005 there were 28 deaths out of 2,667 live births. The No. 1 cause of infant deaths in Saginaw County measure year was asphyxiation such as a baby suffocating under a cover or when a sleeping parent rolls over on a child. Shanafelt said. Premature birth was the next leading cause. "Suffocation outnumbered prematurity by one death," she said. "This shows we need to continue our safe sleep education." The coalition has invited 300 health professionals educators and community leaders to a Fetal and Infant Mortality Leadership Summit Friday. Nov. 2 at the Saginaw County Intermediate School District's Transitions Center in Saginaw Township. The goal of the summit is to create a new collaborative plan for combating infant deaths.
