A complainant alleged that a patient could not move his lower extremities after the insertion of an epidural catheter (small hollow tube used to inject anesthetic between the spinal canal and spinal cord). The complainant believed that the catheter caused the patient’s paralysis. We did not substantiate the allegation. However, we found that the patient’s paralysis may have resulted from a prolonged period of hypotension (low blood pressure) in the intensive care unit (ICU). We concluded that the hypotension was poorly monitored and should have been treated more aggressively. During our review, we found that ICU nursing staff did not document required patient assessments. There was no documentation of the mean arterial pressures needed to adjust medications prescribed for low blood pressure, no documentation of the epidural catheter or of neurological assessments, and inconsistent documentation of verbal orders and administered medications. In addition, we found that the medical center’s system of reporting and evaluating adverse events needed improvement.

    BATTLE-SCARRED AND DIRTY: US ARMY TACTICAL LEADERSHIP IN THE MEDITERRANEAN THEATER, 1942-1943 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Steven Thomas Barry Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Allan R. Millett, Adviser Dr. John F. Guilmartin Dr. John L. Brooke Copyright by Steven T. Barry 2011 Abstract Throughout the North African and Sicilian campaigns of World War II, the battalion leadership exercised by United States regular army officers provided the essential component that contributed to battlefield success and combat effectiveness despite deficiencies in equipment, organization, mobilization, and inadequate operational leadership. Essentially, without the regular army battalion leaders, US units could not have functioned tactically early in the war. For both Operations TORCH and HUSKY, the US Army did not possess the leadership or staffs at the corps level to consistently coordinate combined arms maneuver with air and sea power. The battalion leadership brought discipline, maturity, experience, and the ability to translate common operational guidance into tactical reality. Many US officers shared the same ―Old Army‖ skill sets in their early career. Across the Army in the 1930s, these officers developed familiarity with the systems and doctrine that would prove crucial in the combined arms operations of the Second World War. The battalion tactical leadership overcame lackluster operational and strategic guidance and other significant handicaps to execute the first Mediterranean Theater of Operations campaigns. Three sets of factors shaped this pivotal group of men. First, all of these officers were shaped by pre-war experiences.

HATCH GOVERNOR SECRETARY ~tate of JLoutstana DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY January 22, 2015 The Honorable Gina McCarthy Administrator Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave, N.W. Washington, DC 20460 Dear Administrator McCarthy: First and foremost, I write to express my continued dissatisfaction with how the EPA Region 6 is handling its responsibilities in the disposal of munitions at Camp Minden. On January 16, 2015, I asked that you intervene to ensure the safe disposal of munitions at Camp Minden and requested a conference call for this week to discuss the very important matter. I am disheaiiened that I have yet to hear from you. As you may know, the U.S. Army has agreed to meet with agency officials from the State of Louisiana next week regarding the disposal of M6 at Camp Minden. The purpose of this meeting, which the Army has indicated is contingent on the EPA's participation and the specific attendance of the EPA' s Dr. Brian Gullett, is to allow the federal government to demonstrate why it chose the open burn tray method for disposal of munitions at Camp Minden. We urge you to confirm EPA' s participation as outlined above by close of business January 23 , 2015. Separately, I request that the EPA make available to the State all data and information at its disposal regarding the open burn tray method by January 28, 2015. This data and information includes, but is not limited to: •Sites in the U.S. where open burn tray disposal has/is being used and for what purposes

When we hear about the establishment of a new national park or nature reserve we conservationists breathe a sigh of relief and assume that the biological and cultural values of another area are now secured. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily true. Protected areas that appear in government statistics and on maps are not always put in place on the ground. Many of those that do exist face a disheartening array of threats, ranging from the immediate impacts of poaching or illegal logging to subtle effects of air pollution or climate change.
