Evaluation and Credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat74 Target Audience This activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of Need With the 2023 DEA regulation changes, physicians can now treat patients with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) without requiring an X waiver. As the demand for treatment providers rises, primary care providers are pivotal in addressing this gap by initiating OUD treatments. Given that primary care often serves as the first point of contact within the healthcare system, it's crucial for providers to identify patients who could benefit from OUD treatment. However, many providers fail to recognize these patients and may refer them elsewhere, missing opportunities for immediate care. Objectives Describe screening guidelines and key diagnostic criteria for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Discuss effective medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder (MOUD). Review treatment strategies for MOUD treatment including guidelines for detox in the primary care setting. ModeratorJames T.

Being born is quite difficult and traumatic, even in the best of situations. It's hard- on both the parent and newborn. Chiropractic care helps get the dyad moving and feeling better, and this means breastfeeding better as well. Katie Oshita and Dr Rachel Kuperus discuss what skilled bodywork looks like for a newborn (**hint- it's not 5-10 min visits**) and how this helps with tongue tie, torticollis and feeding challenges. Supporting dyads through skilled bodywork and lactation leads to easier breastfeeding and calmer, happier families.Podcast Guest: Dr. Rachael Kuperus graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2009 with both a Bachelors of Science and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. She is Board certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and the Kentucky Board of Chiropractic Examiners. While all Chiropractors learn about pediatrics in Chiropractic school, Dr. Rachael was not satisfied with one class. She pursued a Board Certification in Pediatrics after chiropractic school. She spent 3 years studying pediatrics and maternal care while working at a non-profit to provide chiropractic to complicated pediatric and maternal chiropractic cases. She holds a Diplomate in Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics (DICCP) through the International Chiropractic Association and Palmer College. Dr Rachael is a published author in the Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics, and regularly lectures to other chiropractors on topics of pediatrics and maternal care.In 2012, Dr. Rachael opened Kuperus Family Chiropractic with a mission to provide chiropractic care for all members of the family. She has adjusted babies a few hours old, those in their 90s, pregnant women and everyone in between. She has additional training in Webster and Bagnell techniques for pregnant patients.Podcast host: Katie Oshita, RN, BSN, IBCLC has over 24 years of experience working in Maternal-Infant Medicine. While Katie sees clients locally in western WA, Katie is also a telehealth lactation consultant believing that clients anywhere in the world deserve the best care possible for their needs.

Part One: Hidden Victims: A Guide for Healthcare Providers in Identifying Human Trafficking Victims Evaluation and Credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MedChat61 Target Audience This activity is targeted toward primary care providers, advanced providers and healthcare clinicians. Statement of Need According to the American Public Health Association, the health system plays an important role in identifying and treating victims of human trafficking. Estimates show that approximately 80 percent of human trafficking victims are women, and health care providers are often the first professionals to have contact with trafficked women and girls. One study found that close to 50 percent of trafficked individuals saw a health care professional during their exploitation. Clinicians need to be aware of red flags that their patient could be a victim of human trafficking, best practices for screening and assessing patients for trafficking, and their response as a health care professional, and resources for assisting the victims. Providers should know how to screen patients for human trafficking; and what to do if there are indicators of a potential victim of human trafficking. Objectives At the conclusion of this offering, the participant will be able to: Discuss the scope of human trafficking locally and nationally. Identify the red flags of human trafficking and screening questions to ask, so that a potential victim can be identified when they are accessing the healthcare system. Review the reporting and documentation guidelines for when a patient is suspected of being a victim of human trafficking. Discuss appropriate communication strategies, including trauma-informed communication, to best facilitate trust between provider and patient.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 17, 2021) – Members of the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees today are considering a proposed $5.1 billion UK budget for 2021-2022. The budget describes how the university funds the salaries of some 20,000 employees, sets tuition for 30,000 students and details the operations of a hospital system that now comprises roughly half of UK's budget. But at its core, according to UK's Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, Eric Monday, a budget is about values and priorities. Monday believes a budget provides a roadmap to better understand what the institution really values. In this episode of Behind the Blue, Monday discusses those values and priorities in detail as he breaks down a record budget for the University of Kentucky.

About the episode: Jim Dinkle became president of the KRDA/FirstPark on November 6, 2017. He moved to Maine from Arizona where he had led a regional economic development organization along the Interstate 10 corridor between Phoenix and Tucson. He was deputy chief of staff to former Kentucky Governor Wallace Wilkinson and he went on to serve as Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley's special projects manager leading the first-in-the-nation brownfields initiative to remediate and market 345 acres of environmentally contaminated sites citywide thanks to a $50 million HUD guaranteed loan. Mr. Dinkle worked five years for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) in Chicago and he managed site selection for new and existing customers across five states in the Midwest. He was the owner's representative in the redevelopment of the former Joliet Arsenal into a multimodal transportation facility with 14 million square feet of warehouse and distribution facilities being developed on the site by such names as Wal-Mart, Georgia Pacific, Cargill and Home Depot. This was a $300 million project built on over 1,400 acres. Mr. Dinkle is a past member on the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees and he is a UK Bowman Fellow. He is a native of Lexington, Kentucky, and presently resides in Oakland. Jim's involvement with Rotary began in 1987 when he was selected for a Group Study Exchange to South Africa.

Good morning, you're listening to the Daily Apple, your source for the latest in Education News. I'm your host Jim Kent, the date is December 16, 2019. Before we get into the news of the day, I'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsor, VictoryXR. VXR's award-winning content, helps kids experience science and engineering in a way that they have never been able to before, while making sure to cover everything within the NextGen Science Standards, and they've made it accessible on every kind of VR headset you can think of. To find out more, check out VictoryXR.com But now for the news.According to a new poll by Gallup, About half of U.S. adults (51%) now consider a college education to be "very important," down from 70% in 2013. Over the same period, the percentages rating college as "fairly important" and "not too important" have both increased, to 36% and 13%, respectively. Perceptions that a college education is very important have declined in the U.S. among all age groups since 2013, but the drop has been especially pronounced -- 33 percentage points -- among adults aged 18 to 29. As a result, younger adults are now less likely than middle-aged adults and seniors to consider college as very important, whereas the different age groups held similar perceptions in 2013. Consistent with what Gallup found in 2013, women today are more likely than men to report a college education is very important (57% vs. 45%, respectively), although the figures are down among both groups. In 2013, 75% of women and 65% of men said a college education was very important.Black and Hispanic adults, two groups that are underrepresented in colleges and universities nationally, are more likely than whites to say a college education is very important. The differences in importance by race/ethnicity are generally consistent with 2013 measures, in which black and Hispanic adults were more likely than whites to view a college education as very important.College tuition has increased at twice the rate of inflation over the past two decades -- forcing many to wonder if that investment is worth it, and how important a formal degree is to achieving a better job and a better life. https://news.gallup.com/poll/270008/half-consider-college-education-important.aspx The Kansas Star has published an article focusing on the struggles foster children face in education. Two years after the Every Student Succeeds Act required states to tally and report graduation rates of its foster children, the federal government has yet to make that information public.Of the states that have reported, most are shockingly low. In Oregon, 35 percent of students in foster care graduated from high school in 2017, compared to 77 percent of the general population.The Star spent the past year examining the long-term outcomes for kids who age out of foster care. It found that many will end up homeless, jobless and in prison because, in part, they were shortchanged on education. Shuffled from home to home, often sent outside their original school districts, they fall behind early and don't catch up. Zachary Lawrence, a special education teacher in south-central Kansas, told members of a legislative task force last year that many foster kids live such unstable and unpredictable lives that it's tough for them to be able to learn each day. Most states have not collected detailed information on the resources necessary to resolve these issues, or even the outcomes currently being faced.Brent Kent, former CEO of Foster Success, worked with lawmakers on legislation to require Indiana to track how foster kids are doing in the classroom. Once a year, a detailed report card must be published so the public is informed about how children in the state's custody are doing relative to their peers.The first report card was published last spring. https://www.kansascity.com/news/special-reports/article238246264.htmlThe Lansing State Journal reports that A federal appeals court panel has ordered the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by four former Michigan State University students against the university for failing to adequately respond to their sexual assault claims. The lawsuit, first filed in 2015, alleged MSU's handling of the four women's sexual assault claims violated Title IX and denied one of the women equal protection. The appeals court found that the women failed to prove “the school had actual knowledge of actionable sexual harassment and that the school's deliberate indifference to it resulted in further actionable sexual harassment against the student-victim, which caused the Title IX injuries.” "Because none of the plaintiffs in this case suffered any actionable sexual harassment after the school's response, they did not suffer “pervasive” sexual harassment as set out in Davis and they cannot meet the causation element," the opinion reads. The opinion also upholds Maybank's immunity, saying while Gross was "clearly dissatisfied" with Maybank's decision to overturn the male student's expulsion, Gross "has no 'right' to her preferred remedy." https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2019/12/12/msu-title-ix-lawsuit-kollaritsch-6th-circuit-dismissal/4409968002/According to the AP Democratic presidential candidates pledged to boost funding for public schools, increase teacher salaries and reduce college debt at a Saturday forum that cast a rare spotlight on education, an issue that has received only passing attention in recent debates. In one camp are Warren and Sanders, who have proposed free public college for all Americans and the cancellation of all or most of the nation's existing student debt. Buttigieg doubled down on his criticism of those plans, saying there needs to be more discussion about apprenticeships, internships and other options other than a four-year degree. He has supported free college for families making under $100,000. Biden continued to push for free community college. The candidates checked many of the boxes the unions will look for when they decide which candidate to support. Many of the candidates took shots at the prevalence of high-stakes testing, curriculum requirements and other measures that limit teachers' flexibility. https://news.yahoo.com/democratic-hopefuls-pledge-more-money-221236629.htmlThe Courier Journal is reporting that Despite a pending legal challenge to its authority, a newly appointed Kentucky Board of Education on Thursday forced out the state's education chief — a swift move that fulfills one of Gov. Andy Beshear's most prominent campaign promises.Education Commissioner Wayne Lewis resigned and will immediately vacate his position leading the state's K-12 school system. The new board accepted his resignation by a unanimous vote and acknowledged it did not have just cause to terminate Lewis.Lewis, who earned $200,000 annually as commissioner, was required to receive written notice of his termination 90 days in advance, under his contract with the board. Lewis accepted the earlier exit — and will walk away with 120 days salary and health benefits — after nearly three hours of closed-door negotiations. Under Lewis and the former board, the Kentucky Department of Education had planned to press for full-day kindergarten, reading interventions for the state's youngest learners and more flexibility for schools. It is unclear whether those requests will remain the department's priority under a new board and a new commissioner. https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/education/2019/12/12/kentucky-board-education-ousts-education-commissioner-wayne-lewis/4397133002/According to Michigan Radio, The U.S. Department of Education has launched an investigation into a southwest Michigan school district.Paw Paw Public Schools is no stranger to controversy. The district has been under fire for its mascot name and image – the Redskins – for years. Now, the district is facing a federal investigation after the ACLU of Michigan filed a complaint back in January. The ACLU's complaint alleges the school district "maintains an environment that is hostile to a variety of racial, religious, ethnic and immigrant groups." Mark Fancher, Racial Justice Project staff attorney for the ACLU of Michigan, says, “The school district has stubbornly refused to even discuss possible changes to make its programs more welcoming for Native Americans and other people of color, making this OCR investigation a victory. We are hopeful that federal scrutiny of the district will prompt concern that leads to reform.”Back in 2017, the Paw Paw school board voted against changing the mascot name from the controversial “Redskins” name despite pressure from groups like the ACLU. https://www.michiganradio.org/post/department-education-launches-investigation-paw-paw-public-schools The AP reports on another school joining the modern backlash against standardized testing in admissions practices. Indiana University could soon stop requiring students to submit ACT or SAT scores with their college applications. A university spokesman says students applying for fall 2021 could have the option not to submit college standardized testing. The (Northwest Indiana) Times reports that the university's Board of Trustees recently approved the policy change. IU's nine individual campuses now must approve and implement their own “test optional” admissions practice. https://www.wave3.com/2019/12/15/indiana-university-could-make-sat-act-tests-optional/ And that rounds it up for todays headlines.

THE PETE SANTILLI SHOW Episode #1674 - Friday - November 08, 2019 - 6PM Live Broadcast Link - https://youtu.be/BVo9TiXoAHU Smoking Gun Evidence Of Kentucky Election Fraud By Democrats - 1674-6P Just weeks before the Kentucky election, 175,000 purged voters were put back on the registration rolls after Democrat challenger Attorney General Andy Beshear sued to have the inactive voters reinstated. A recently released recorded phone call between the Kentucky Board of Elections office and a journalist named Tore shows that Tore and her immigrant husband, who is ineligible to vote, were placed on the Kentucky voter rolls as registered Democrats. The only problem is, Tore and her husband haven’t lived in the state Kentucky for years and both of them have never registered as Democrats. Tore was concerned about her husband’s immigration status and how the apparent election fraud could impact his ability to remain in the United States.

This week we welcomed Beth Thorpe, a Democratic digital strategist, to the podcast. She told us what exactly she does and how she works with campaigns. When it comes to campaigns, digital strategy is increasing in importance -- the conversation touched on topics that are interesting to anyone who cares about campaigns. Before speaking with Beth, we also tackled several news topics: Jazmin took a look at a story from the Courier-Journal that addressed Amy McGrath's eligibility for the Governorship and Robert caught us up about the Kentucky Board of Education's proposal for new graduation requirements. Plus, there were QUICK HITS!
“We should have a scroll at the top of all JCPS coverage, like what happens at the beginning of “Star Wars” movies.” —words of wisdom from producer Laura Ellis. It’s not the worst idea. I don’t know about you but I find it really hard to keep up — even if you work in a newsroom every day. Let’s (try to) break it down: It feels like a "long time ago," but it was actually back in April. Gov. Matt Bevin appointed seven new members to the Kentucky Board of Education, giving his appointees full control. During a meeting the next day, the new board pressured Kentucky Education Commissioner Stephen Pruitt to resign, which he did. The board then named University of Kentucky professor and charter schools proponent Wayne Lewis interim commissioner. Two weeks later, Lewis released a scathing audit of the district and recommended a state takeover. You keeping up? At the end of May, the JCPS board voted to appeal the state takeover. Hearings to settle the matter were scheduled to begin in September. But, in July, Lewis offered the district a settlement instead of going through with the takeover. After many meetings, the JCPS board this week voted to take the deal. We know some terms of the agreement, but the two sides still have to come up with a corrective action plan. If they don’t, Lewis gets the final say. WFPL's Roxanne Scott has been spending way too many evenings waiting for them to come out of closed-session meetings. She joins us to share what's in the agreement, and what could happen next.
This week we were honored to welcome Senator Reginald Thomas of Lexington, who spoke to us about his service in Frankfort and about his run for the 6th US Congressional District. It was great to hear his perspective on running for higher office and what he found valuable about the experience. He also had great insight about serving in Frankfort. Before out visit with Sen. Thomas, Jazmin and Robert spoke about Fancy Farm, which happened last weekend, the hiring of two new adoption advisors and about the elevation of Hal Heiner to the chair of the State Board of Education. Plus, this week we have Quick Hits!
Our special guest is Stephen P. Stratton, Ph.D., co-author of the book, Listening to Sexual Minorities: A Study of Faith and Sexual Identity on Christian College Campuses and a Professor of Counseling and Pastoral Care and a licensed psychologist (KY). Previous to his full-time appointment at Asbury Theological Seminary in 2006, he served as an adjunct professor at Asbury University, where he was the Director of the Center for Counseling for 18 years. He is an Approved Supervisor for the Kentucky Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and a Health Service Provider/Supervisor for the Kentucky Board of Psychology. Students arrive on campus with various boxes of belongings to unpack, some heavy, some tidy, some more valuable, some more private. For many students, two of these boxes could be labeled "My Faith" and "My Sexuality"—and these two can be among the most cumbersome to handle. How to balance the two without having to set one down? How to hold them both closely, both securely, but still move forward to settle in with new friends in a new environment? How to keep from dropping one or the other, spilling its embarrassing contents for all to see? Such can be the struggle for any student, but especially for any sexual minority who identifies or struggles with an LGB+ identity or same-sex attraction on a Christian college campus. For these students their faith and their sexuality often feel both tender and in acute tension. Who is God making them to be? What do they need to grow in to develop faithfully, and what might they need to leave behind? How can they truly flourish? The research team of Yarhouse, Dean, Stratton, and Lastoria draw on their decades of experience both in the psychology of sexual identity and in campus counseling to bring us the results of an original longitudinal study into what sexual minorities themselves experience, hope for, and benefit from. Rich with both quantitative and qualitative data, their book gives an unprecedented opportunity to listen to sexual minorities in their own words, as well as to observe patterns and often surprising revelations about life and personal development both on campus and after graduation. Listening to Sexual Minorities will be an indispensable resource not only for counselors and psychologists but also for faculty, student-development leaders, and administrators in higher education as well as leaders in the church and wider Christian community who want to create an intentional environment to hear from and contribute to the spiritual flourishing of all.

Robert first started practicing Reiki in 1996 at the age of twenty one. He developed an interest in learning more about the system of Reiki and quickly realized that few people were teaching Reiki as practiced and taught by Hawayo Takata (Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho). He was drawn to Takata's teachings by inner guidance and by the fact that her teachings were clear, simple, and effective. Robert has studied with some of Takata's Master students and several other teachers who still practice Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho. Robert founded The Reiki Preservation Society (www.TheReikiPreservationSociety.org) to preserve Hawayo Takata’s teachings for future generations to learn. Robert is a member of and archive team member for the Reiki Alliance (www.ReikiAlliance.com). In addition, Robert is a Licensed Acupuncturist by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure and is Nationally Certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (http://www.nccaom.org). Robert is currently wrapping up his book on the system of Reiki and its history.
Madison County Schools has placed an emphasis on early childhood education and kindergarten readiness. The following article, written by Kentucky Board of Education member Brigitte Blom Ramsey, discusses the importance of screening children as they enter kindergarten and the difference those screenings can make on a child’s academic success. This is an opinion I share as an advocate for early childhood education.
