With the scheduled move of University Medical Center's acute services to Community Regional Medical Center about three months away, steps toward the transition are increasingly visible.
In a note to Community employees Jan. 9, CEO Tim Joslin complimented transition teams for staying on schedule for the mid-April move. Specifically, he mentioned progress on several key projects:
The birth of a new baby is a time of great joy — a life changing event that lasts in minds and hearts forever.
It's a time of celebration for those at Community Medical Centers too. With more than 14,000 babies born each year at Clovis Community Medical Center and Community Regional Medical Center, there are a lot of reasons to be joyful.
The Bariatric (weight-loss) Surgery Program at Clovis Community Medical Center is ranked the best in California according to a report released in November by HealthGrades, an independent health-care ratings organization.
HealthGrades' findings report the Bariatric Surgery Program at Clovis Community is the only five-star rated provider in the Valley and the only hospital in California to rank in the top 5% in the nation for bariatric surgery.
Thanks to a second $1 million contribution from the Radin Foundation in just more than a year, Clovis Community Medical Center continues expanding breast care services at the new Marjorie E. Radin Breast Care Center.
Since its inception last May, the Center has performed more than 2,250 mammograms for Valley patients as well as hundreds of other services and procedures.
The funds will be used to increase capacity for patients and further enhance technology and equipment.

The West Long Branch Police say two weekend events will cause an increase in traffic in the area
From the West Long Branch Police Facebook page:
Monmouth University's Homecoming is Saturday and will likely contribute to significant traffic on State Highway 36, Monmouth Road and Cedar Avenue between the hours of 11 a.m.and 5 p.m on Saturday, Oct. 20. West Long Branch Police Department officers will be posted along that route to assist with traffic control (as per the Traffic and Parking Plan for Monmouth University events).
Also Saturday will be the "Tough Mudder" event. While the event itself will take place at Raceway Park, participants in the event will be parking at Monmouth Park in Oceanport and bussed to the event. This will also increase traffic on Highway 36. While officers will also be posted to work along that route, local residents should keep this in mind when navigating in and out of the area during that time.
Officers will be deployed throughout Oceanport, West Long Branch and Eatontown to address traffic and other concerns from before dawn to approximately 8 p.m.
Police say residents should plan alternate routes on Saturday and that necessary traffic updates will be published via Nixle.

JEFFERSONVILLE — Talk surrounding a requested investigation as a result of charges made by Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore on a city credit card are being blown out of proportion, according to several City Council members.
During a recent council finance committee meeting — called to discuss the budget for the city clerk's office — the receipt from a credit card charge made at Home Depot was questioned by Councilwoman Lisa Gill. She said the receipt was not itemized and totaled more than $1,000. When she questioned the charge, Gill explained that she was just asking what was purchased.
Moore explained the charge from Home Depot was for cabinets installed in city offices and that another receipt questioned in a TV media report was for repairs to a bicycle he uses during neighborhood meetings, which was previously purchased by the city.
According to city ordinance — 2012-OR-1 — regulating credit card purchases, "each department shall submit a detailed, original receipt within seven calendar days of incurring said credit card expense."
In addition, if it is determined that the charges are improper, the expense shall fall to the employee and may be deducted from their pay.
But Moore said that is not always possible to provide an itemized receipt.
"There are a few [receipts] over the last year that didn't have the itemized [information] and some places you will go to do not give an itemized credit card receipt," he said.
Because of the question raised about the one receipt, council President Connie Sellers said she would investigate the matter.
"We are conducting our due diligence as a fiscal body for the city by investigating the matter," Sellers said, reading from her response to a request for comment from another media outlet. "By that I meant ... I went through the credit cards [receipts]. As I went through the receipts I saw nothing unusual. There were some credit card statements that were not itemized, there were some times that the mayor went out to eat and did not list people's names, but I do not consider that something that's newsworthy."
Sellers said the WAVE-TV story, along with a history of credit card misuse by a former city official, prompted the decision to request a State Board of Accounts review. While the request has not officially been sent, Sellers said it will be done to ensure that there hasn't been any misuse.
"I did not want it to come out again, if there was something, that we were behind the eight ball like we were with Peggy," she said.
Former Jeffersonville Clerk-Treasurer Peggy Wilder received a year of probation on a conversion charge in 2010 that related to her use of city credit cards for personal purchases between 2004 and 2008. She paid for the purchases, not the city, but pleaded guilty to exercising unauthorized control of the card. The improper charges were discovered during an Indiana State Board of Accounts audit in early 2009.
While Sellers admitted she doesn't believe there has been any wrongdoing by the mayor, she wanted a neutral third party to be involved to ensure all of the charges are in compliance.
"If we don't do it, we're going to be accused of not doing our due diligence," she said. "And the mayor, whether people believe him or us, he's going to be put in the hot seat. Let's just get it cleared up and move on because I don't think they're going to find anything. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. It's blown out of proportion."
Moore questioned why the council didn't ask him about the credit card receipts sooner. He also pointed to a lack of communication that has been cited by the city council, and asked why the issue wasn't brought to him before going to the media.
"Not one time did they come and ask [about] these expenses," he said. "The witch hunt needs to stop. We need to be promoting what is best for the city of Jeffersonville and the politics being played by the city council president and Lisa Gill need to stop. It's becoming an embarrassment for the city, the actions that they are taking."
Councilman Matt Owen in an e-mail disavowed the investigation of the credit card charges and said that it does not represent the will of the finance committee.
Again, Sellers said there has been no evidence of impropriety.
"We have no proof that there's been anything done," she said.
She added that she will request that from now the mayor get an itemized receipt for the charges and list the names of the people he is with during working lunches.
The News and Tribune has filed an open-records request for the receipts in question, but has yet to receive the documents.

NEW YORK -- The company behind the strong "rare-earth" magnets, Buckyballs, is fighing back at Washington regulators with a new advertising campaign.
The company, Maxfield & Oberton Holdings, is responding to what they call overzealous regulators who have moved to take Buckyballs off the market because children keep swallowing them, putting themselves at risk for internal organ damage.
Buckyballs are marketed to adults and are covered with warning labels, however last month, the Consumer Product Safety Commision (CPSC) filed an administrative complaint against the company, alerting the public about the risks and offering customers a refund.
Craig Zucker, CEO of Maxfield & Oberton, launched a sharp-witted ad campaign using the slogan, "Save Our Balls." The ads, in newspapers and on the web, are directed at lawmakers and President Obama, claiming that the Obama administration has pushed regulation too far.
Zucker joined "CBS This Morning" on Monday and claimed that the risks of Buckyballs are being overstated. "Compared to other products in the marketplace, it is an extremely low rate of injury," he said before adding that the "small rate of misuse is because it's used by the wrong user...it shouldn't be in those kids' hands in the first place."
Zucker points to the five different warning labels on the packaging of each Buckyballs product and cites the company's "vigorous safety program."
He also claims that his company has worked "very cooperatively" with the CPSC over the past three years but believes "they simply wanted to put us out of business."
"I think they thought the industry was an easy target," Zucker said on "CTM." "We are a small industry."
To date, CPSC has not responded to a CBS News request for comment on the matter. A hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge, who will decide whether to grant the their request to take Buckyballs off the market.

NP-hard (Non-deterministic Polynomial-time hard), in computational complexity theory, is a class of problems that are, informally, "at least as hard as the hardest problems in NP". A problem H is NP-hard if and only if there is an NP-complete problem L that is polynomial time Turing-reducible to H (i.e., L ≤ TH). In other words, L can be solved in polynomial time by an oracle machine with an oracle for H. Informally, we can think of an algorithm that can call such an oracle machine as a subroutine for solving H, and solves L in polynomial time, if the subroutine call takes only one step to compute. NP-hard problems may be of any type: decision problems, search problems, or optimization problems.
As consequences of the definition, the following claims can be made:
- Problem H is at least as hard as L, because H can be used to solve L;
- Since L is NP-complete, and hence the hardest in class NP, also problem H is at least as hard as NP, but H does not have to be in NP and hence does not have to be a decision problem (even if it is a decision problem, it need not be in NP);
- Since NP-complete problems transform to each other by polynomial-time many-one reduction (also called polynomial transformation), all NP-complete problems can be solved in polynomial time by a reduction to H, thus all problems in NP reduce to H; note, however, that this involves combining two different transformations: from NP-complete decision problems to NP-complete problem L by polynomial transformation, and from L to H by polynomial Turing reduction;
- If there is a polynomial algorithm for any NP-hard problem, then there are polynomial algorithms for all problems in NP, and hence P = NP;
- If P ≠ NP, then NP-hard problems cannot be solved in polynomial time, while P = NP does not resolve whether the NP-hard problems can be solved in polynomial time;
- If an optimization problem H has an NP-complete decision version L, then H is NP-hard.
A common mistake is to think that the NP in NP-hard stands for non-polynomial. Although it is widely suspected that there are no polynomial-time algorithms for NP-hard problems, this has never been proven. Moreover, the class NP also contains all problems which can be solved in polynomial time.
An example of an NP-hard problem is the decision subset sum problem, which is this: given a set of integers, does any non-empty subset of them add up to zero? That is a decision problem, and happens to be NP-complete. Another example of an NP-hard problem is the optimization problem of finding the least-cost cyclic route through all nodes of a weighted graph. This is commonly known as the traveling salesman problem.
There are decision problems that are NP-hard but not NP-complete, for example the halting problem. This is the problem which asks "given a program and its input, will it run forever?" That's a yes/no question, so this is a decision problem. It is easy to prove that the halting problem is NP-hard but not NP-complete. For example, the Boolean satisfiability problem can be reduced to the halting problem by transforming it to the description of a Turing machine that tries all truth value assignments and when it finds one that satisfies the formula it halts and otherwise it goes into an infinite loop. It is also easy to see that the halting problem is not in NP since all problems in NP are decidable in a finite number of operations, while the halting problem, in general, is undecidable. There are also NP-hard problems that are neither NP-complete nor undecidable. For instance, the language of True quantified Boolean formulas is decidable in polynomial space, but not non-deterministic polynomial time (unless NP = PSPACE).
Alternative definitions[edit]
An alternative definition of NP-hard that is often used restricts NP-hard to decision problems and then uses polynomial-time many-one reduction instead of Turing reduction. So, formally, a language L is NP-hard if ∀L' ∈ NP, L' ≤ L. If it is also the case that L is in NP, then L is called NP-complete. However, under this definition, the trivial decision problem (the one that accepts everything) and its complement would provably not be in NP-hard, even if P = NP, since no other problems can many-one reduce to these two problems.
NP-naming convention[edit]
NP-hard problems do not have to be elements of the complexity class NP, despite having NP as the prefix of their class name. The NP-naming system has some deeper sense, because the NP family is defined in relation to the class NP and the naming conventions in the Computational Complexity Theory:
- Class of computational problems for which a given solution can be verified as a solution in polynomial time by a deterministic Turing machine.
- NP-hard
- Class of problems which are at least as hard as the hardest problems in NP. Problems in NP-hard do not have to be elements of NP, indeed, they may not even be decision problems.
- NP-complete
- Class of problems which contains the hardest problems in NP. Each element of NP-complete has to be an element of NP.
- NP-easy
- At most as hard as NP, but not necessarily in NP, since they may not be decision problems.
- NP-equivalent
- Exactly as difficult as the hardest problems in NP, but not necessarily in NP.
Application areas[edit]
NP-hard problems are often tackled with rules-based languages in areas such as:
- Configuration
- Data mining
- Selection
- Diagnosis
- Process monitoring and control
- Scheduling
- Planning
- Rosters or schedules
- Tutoring systems
- Decision support
- Phylogenetics

Mineral Wells Index
By CHRIS AGEE
Following a vote among its members, the Mineral Wells Volunteer Fire Department selected James Brooks as its Firefighter of the Year at this week's annual awards banquet.
Held at Southside Church of Christ, the event featured guest speaker Haltom City Fire Chief Steve Ross.
According to MWVFD Chief Joel Thompson, the agency also named its 2013 officers at the banquet.
Thompson continues as chief, and he said Lynn Reasoner and Robert Coker will retain their positions as first- and second-assistant chief, respectively.
Other appointments included Carla Hay-Perdue as secretary and Danny Earl as treasurer, Thompson said.
Additionally, the agency named three captains: Jerry Van Natta, K.J. Van Natta, and Monte Parker Sr.; and three lieutenants: Clark Gregg, James Brooks and William Eudy.
In addition to recognizing local businesses for their continued support of the department, Thompson said two crew members were recognized for their service.
"Clark Gregg received an award for 35 years of service and Jimmy Murray Sr. retired after 37 years," he said.

Skiing/athleticism is in the genes of Park City's Alex Schlopy, whose mom, Holly Flanders, is a two-time Olympian and three-time World Cup downhill winner and whose father, Todd Schlopy, played football for the Buffalo Bills. In 2011, Schlopy asserted himself as one of the best slopestyle and big air competitors, beginning in 2011 at Winter X Games, winning Big Air gold as a rookie and riding that momentum into the World Championships in Park City, UT, and winning the World Slopestyle Championships. These days he's one of the biggest names in freeski slopestyle and is part of a generation of young talents who are redefining the performance limits of the sport.
Growing up in Park City, Schlopy was a self-proclaimed "loud-mouthed, troublemaker." His mind was always racing with thoughts of skiing, biking, girls and basically anything other than what he was supposed to be thinking about. If you ask any of the kids who grew up with him, he says they'd tell you he spent most of his time at school sitting in the principal's office. After a brief run in gymnastics he finally found his passion on skis and the rest is history.
New Zealand is pretty big in the Winter Sports World. Do they have Kangaroos in NZ? If so, have you boxed one?
I was only able to bag a sheep, which is 10 times cooler I think?
When did you first start skiing? Where/why?
Age 2. My mom and Dad got me into it, mainly because my mom was an Olympian in downhill skiing. I think she got a little pissed when I started skiing backwards though :O haha
If you weren't shredding on skis, what would you be doing for a living?
Probably pursuing a career in Business, or just riding my dirt bike all day
Talent...other than skiing:
Oakleys are...
The ILLEST!
Best song to ride to:
Anything by my girl Miley.
C-Walking, Head Banging or fist pumping? Which one?
You gotta switch it up from time to time, so I'd say all of the above!
Dream vacation spot:
A secluded island with 3 of my favorite ladies... sunny all day with light showers in the evenings. Candle lit dinners and sandy beaches on the ocean blue. (Oakley: Damn, that's romantic, Alex!)
Would you rather get punched in the gut by Mr. T. or super roundhouse kicked in the face by Chuck Norris?
Both... I'm not afraid!
What tricks are you working on?
I'm working on a couple different doubles and some left spins.
You've been mistaken for...
Rihanna... when I sing
Sushi, steak, chicken, veggies, and fruit!
Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus?
My girl Miley!
Last Words...
Not yet!

Former FBI director Judge Louis Freeh released his report investigating Penn State's invlovement in Jerry Sandusky's recent child sex scandal, saying that the "most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State."
Does this report's findings change your opinion of Penn State and how it handled Sandusky? Tell us in the comments.
"The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized," Freeh said in a statement on Thursday. "Messrs. [University Presdient Graham] Spanier, [University Vice President Gary] Schultz, [head football coach Joe] Paterno and [Athletic Director Tim] Curley never demonstrated, through actions or words, any concern for the safety and well-being of Sandusky's victims until after Sandusky's arrest."
Freeh's report, which included over 400 interviews of current and former Penn State employees, as well as "3.5 million emails," found that Paterno "failed to take any action" despite being made aware of an initial 1998 investigation into Sandusky's alleged child abuse.
"At the very least, Mr. Paterno could have alerted the entire football staff, in order to prevent Sandusky from bringing another child into the Lasch Building," he said in his release. "Messrs. Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley also failed to alert the Board of Trustees about the 1998 investigation or take any further action against Mr. Sandusky."
Schultz is a 1967 graduate of Nazareth High School.
The full report accompanies this article as a PDF or the full report can be viewed here.
A press conference about the report will take place at 10 a.m. Thursday. Check back with Patch for more details.

ANDOVER — An Andover man pleaded guilty yesterday to possession of child pornography and faces up to 10 years in federal prison.
William S. Thomas, 65, also could receive a lifetime of supervised release and a $250,000 fine. He is due to be sentenced Oct. 30 before U.S. District Court Judge Patti B. Saris.
The case against Thomas stems from an October 2010 investigation by the United States Postal Service and Canadian officials into a movie production company based out of Toronto which operated a website that offered DVDs and streaming videos for sale. Most of the films involved young prepubescent males.
As a result of a search warrant executed in May 2011, investigators seized thousands of videos, DVDs, photos, computers, business records and shipping labels. They determined the films were being shipped to customers worldwide, including hundreds of people living in the United States. From the records, they learned that Thomas was a customer and had purchased materials between 2005 and 2011.
Thomas was arrested last September on charges of receiving child pornography after U.S. Postal Inspectors seized more than 200 DVDs and CDs containing child pornography during a search of his Colonial Drive home.
Among those items seized from Thomas' home were 10 DVD's containing visual depictions of minor males engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Thomas told investigators he kept these DVD's in the bedroom under his mattress since it was easier to get near his computer. He also added "I figured it was questionable material with their ages and that these DVD's contain children in the nude from (10) to (17) years of age," according to court documents.
At the time of his arrest, Thomas was working as a registered nurse at the Wild Acres Inn in Brookline, a mental health residential treatment facility. The facility suspended him without pay and the Massachusetts Nursing Board initiated action to suspend his nursing license.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz, Kevin Niland, Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and Chief Brian J. Pattullo of the Andover Police Department, made the announcement yesterday. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth G. Shine of Ortiz's Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.

I just bought the RM 6700 Home Theatre speaker package, which comes with 4 sats and 1 centre speaker, and the PSW 202 subwoofer. Unfortunately, the place where I bought these only had them in black. :( I would have preferred the titanium colour to match my other components and furniture. I was thinking of buying a can of metallic silver spray paint and just paint the outside cabinet and not the speaker grille. Does anyone think it is wise to paint these brand new speakers? If yes, what kind of paint would you recommend? If no, I was thinking that I might screw up the paint job and ruin these speakers. :D :supermad:
Thanks for your assistance! :)

This hotel was adequate - our room was clean but in need of updates. The breakfast was good. The staff was friendly. The outdoor pool was very nice (and very clean). WV's hotel tax is outrageously high.
The furniture was old. The microwave and refrig. were old. Our desk did not have a chair.Very conveniently located off I-64. Nice, neat exterior. Interior in need of updates. Not a 2-1/2 star hotel, should be a 2. Staff and breakfast were very nice.

The parking lot was horrible, pot holes everywhere and very dusty. The adult book store almost right in the parking lot. Tractor trailers everywhere, which there was no mention of. The room smelled of cigarettes.
Poor 1.0
The location was close to I77 and Winterplace resort.
The manager not only was not friendly, he was outright confrontational about 3 people per room. The description clearly showed room for 4adults. Despite there was no mention of addition costs when we booked, we paid it.We lost a very expensive smart phone in the parking lot. We called back within hours of leaving and spoke to Mr. Patel the manager who confirmed that the phone had been turned into the office. We were 200 miles away. Although we could identify the phone etc. He refused to return the phone to us by mail at our expense or to be helpful in anyway. The breakfast was not edible. Even after paying extra for three adults per room we were given towels and supplies not sufficient for two people. The parking lot was completely iced over. Our car had to be pulled out. We fell on the iced asphalt that was not properly treated for business. Poor poor management for such a promising location.

The lobby area was decent and seemed comfortable. Free parking was nice.
The room and entire hallway were dingy, reeked of smoke and smelled stale. I left smelling like a smoker. Nothing in the room felt clean, from the floor, to the chairs, to the bed, to the bathroom. I wore shoes the whole time. Couldn't wait to leave.I am very surprised that this hotel received a 3-star rating. The hotel is old, outdated, and unclean.
Poor 1.0
I liked nothing about this hotel.
The smell was awful, the decor was outdated 20 years ago. Did I mention the smell?This hotel had a stench about it. It was so strong I could smell it in my hair and had to wash it after checking out. This is in no way a three star hotel, and barely a one star. I do not receomnmend it.

What Marketing Pitches Reveal About the Religious Right
A long time ago I signed up to be on Peter Popoff's mailing list, which led to getting some truly hilarious letters in the mail (I especially enjoyed the vile of "holy water" that would bring miracles into my life). Rick Perlstein signed up for emails from a bunch of right wing sites and magazines and he got exactly the marketing pitches I would have predicted based on the ads you see on those sites now. Like this one:
Dear Reader, I'm going to tell you something, but you must promise to keep it quiet. You have to understand that the "elite" would not be at all happy with me if they knew what I was about to tell you. That's why we have to tread carefully. You see, while most people are paying attention to the stock market, the banks, brokerages and big institutions have their money somewhere else . . . [in] what I call the hidden money mountain . . . All you have to know is the insider's code (which I'll tell you) and you could make an extra $6,000 every single month.
What happens is that these sites sell access to their mailing lists to advertisers to send out these pitches. And the content of those pitches speaks volumes about the target audience. Look at the adds you see at the Worldnutdaily every day — gold scams, get rich quick schemes, alternative medicines, survival supplies — and all marketed as secrets that the elite don't want you to know about, something that's been deliberately hidden from you by them.
Soon after reading that, I learned of the "23-Cent Heart Miracle," the one "Washington, the medical industry, and drug companies REFUSE to tell you about." (Why would they? They'd just be leaving money on the table: "I was scheduled for open heart surgery when I read about your product," read one of the testimonials. "I started taking it and now six months have passed and I haven't had open-heart surgery.") Then came news of the oilfield in the placenta.
"Dear NewsMax Reader," this appeal began, leaving no doubt that whatever trust that publication had built with its followers was being rented out wholesale. "Please find below a special message from our sponsor, James Davidson, Editor of Outside the Box. He has some important information to share with you."
Here's the information in question: "If you have shied away from profiting from the immense promise of stem cells to treat disease because of moral concern over extracting stem cells from fetal tissue, pay close attention. You can now invest with a clear conscience. An Israeli entrepreneur, Zami Aberman, has discovered 'an oilfield in the placenta.' His little company, Pluristem Life Systems (OTCBB: PLRS) has made a discovery which is potentially more valuable than Prudhoe Bay."
Davidson concluded by proposing the lucky investor purchase a position of 83,000 shares of PLRS for the low, low price of twelve cents each. If you act now, Davidson explained, your $10,000 outlay "could bring you a profit of more than a quarter of a million dollars."
Reminds me of the Worldnutdaily pimping for a guy who claimed to have found a huge supply of oil in Israel (a claim that has been around forever and never turned out to be true). If there was really oil there, you can be damn sure the oil companies would be all over it.
Not long after I let the magic of the placenta-based oilfield sink in, I got another pitch, this one courtesy of the webmasters handling the Human Events mailing list and headed "The Trouble with Get-Rich-Quick Schemes." Perhaps I'm a little gullible myself; for a couple of seconds, I believed the esteemed Reagan-era policy handbook might be sending out a useful consumer advisory to its readers, an investigative guide to the phony get-rich-quick schemes caroming around the right-leaning opinion-sphere. But that hasty assumption proved sadly mistaken, presuming as it did that the proprietors of outfits like Human Events respect their readers. Instead, this was a come-on for something called "INSTANT INTERNET INCOME"—the chance at last to "put an end to your financial worries . . . permanently erase your debts . . . pay cash for the things you want . . . create a secure, enjoyable retirement for yourself . . . give your family the abundant lifestyle they so richly deserve."

He's just 20-years-old, but Garrett Bowman, from Muskegon, Mich., knows his way around a gun range. He's also an experienced hunter.
Bowman planned to use his shooting skills to serve his country as a Marine.
"I started talking to the recruiter when I was a senior in high school," said Bowman. "I actually enlisted while I was still in high school."
But just two weeks before he was scheduled to ship out for boot camp, disaster struck.
"My eye had been bothering me, but I didn't think it was a big deal," said Bowman. "I was camping and I woke up in the tent and I couldn't open my eye. And it hurt just God-awful bad."
Bowman went to a medical center for help.
"The man actually told me it was just a scratch, and he gave me some antibiotic drops and sent me on my way," said Bowman.
But Bowman's eye quickly got worse -- much worse. He learned later that he was suffering from an aggressive bacterial infection that was destroying his cornea.
"Somehow a bacteria got underneath my contact lens that I was wearing at the time and I didn't catch it," said Bowman. "It actually ate halfway through my cornea and scarred it pretty bad. This was all in the matter of three days."
The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped window covering the front of the eye. Without it, the eye can't focus properly.
"Normal" vision is considered 20/20, legally blind is 20/200. After the infection, Bowman's vision in his right eye was 20/400.
"You take it for granted your whole life to be able to see, and then you can't. That's pretty rough," said Bowman.
Instead of shipping out for boot camp, Bowman was left struggling with his new reality.
"I couldn't see past not being able to go into the Marine Corps," Bowman said. "I didn't really have a plan."
Losing his depth perception made even everyday tasks difficult.
"Little things like reaching for stuff, I would knock things over, and if somebody threw something at me, I wouldn't catch it," Bowman said. "It would bounce off my hand or hit me in the face or whatever. I tried to laugh at it, but I mean, realistically, it was hard."
But Bowman was determined to learn to shoot again.
"I had to learn how to use my left eye for everything, because I was right-eye dominate for my guns and my bow," Bowman said.
Bowman went bow-hunting just weeks after suffering the infection.
"It was a challenge. I didn't actually shoot a deer with my bow, but I did take him with my rifle that November," said Bowman.
Doctors offered him hope in the form of a cornea transplant.
"I just thought there is good. There is light at the end of the tunnel," said Bowman.
Earlier this year, a donated cornea was transplanted into his damaged right eye. A stranger gave Bowman the gift of sight.
"I could already see 20/100 the next day," said Bowman. "So it was a big improvement."
With his new glasses, his vision is about 20/25, and it's still improving.

A knife can also make a great gift, especially for the Do-It-Yourself type moms. Two of our picks are the Kershaw Pink Chive and the Buck Bantam BLW Lavender Camo Head Hunterz Knife.

Getting to Know You
If you're like me, you have a hard time in new social situations (mostly stemming from the conviction that everyone there is jealous and shit). But sometimes, your job or the young coffee stand boy you're attempting to get naked forces you to meet and mingle with new people. What to do? Here are some tips I've picked up:
When someone introduces herself, say, "Liar!"
Bring some ham with you.
Mention that you have black friends.
Wear a cumberbund.
DON"T bring up the Spanish-American War.
DO offer Mentos.
Correct people's pronunciation.
Take a souvenir with you to show you appreciated the host's hospitality.
Watch TV.
Remember: Anyone can make chit-chat and play nice. You'll go far if you make an impression.

As children grow, their bones grow and develop too. Bone development can be adversely affected due to diet, exercise, a person's hereditary genes and other medical conditions.
One of the most common tools used to measure bone density, is called a DEXA scanner, or more formally called a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry scanner, which Children's - St. Paul's radiology department now provides.
Using an x-ray procedure, the DEXA scanner helps determine the strength of the patient's bones by measuring their bone density. Other means of assessing bone strength are also available but a DEXA scan is currently the most accurate method and it uses the lowest amount of radiation for a pediatric bone scan.
The ins and outs of Children's new DEXA scanner
- Direct referrals to Children's radiology department accepted. A separate order is required.
- All scans are read by a Children's pediatric radiologist with specialized training in DEXA scanning.
- DEXA scanner operated by American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certified technologists.
- Coordinated, pediatric focused care – all in one location – with sedation capabilities when needed.
- Hours of operation: Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
DEXA scan appointments can be scheduled at Children's - St. Paul by calling centralized scheduling,
(612) 874-5399.
The technology
- Is three to five times more efficient radiation doses compared to other systems.
- Is the first system designed to look beyond bone mineral density.
- Detects subtle bone changes in a variety of clinical applications.
- Delivers rapid scans and near radiographic imaging.

Some Ember is the new solo project of Man/Miracle's Dylan Travis. "Era of Wind" is only the second song he's released, it is icy and desolate. It's a little bit Lovecraft (From fingertip to dilated eye/ it closes grip on vibrated flesh, Travis sings) and a little bit Fever Ray, propelled by haunted, droning bass. I keep thinking about this lonely guy in a lake, like a 19th century convict rowing through fog, making his great escape from an island prison and sinking halfway to shore. What happens to that guy? What if he had a Moog to play on the way down? Some Ember's debut album, Hotel of Lost Light, is forthcoming on Crash Symbols.

Why do Africans have large noses and lips?Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Medicine. Anything human!
Moderator: BioTeam
Hey SHF, you're so right. The sun is only a catalyst in releasing Vitamin-D that is already in the body from food stuff. If i remember correctly (not attached) The stuff the turns into Vitamin-D just requires a certain amount of radiation to go through synthesis in the body.
Traveling to colder regions requires more warmth and shelter therefore limited amount of sun-time and less intense shore daylight. The body must adapt to keep the processes effective and keep you alive. I'm guessing as well fairer skin reflects light better therefore keep heat in.
Re: Why do Africans have large noses and lips?
I think the skin color difference is largely solved issue (UV, D-vitamin, melanin etc). There are respectable new studies including those of Nina Jablonski. There is rather good correlation between UV (UVA,UVB and UVC) high radiation and dark skin color.
However hair and facial differences are interesting issues too. Haven't red much about these issues but there must also be climate (dry, humid...), environment (forest, mountain, desert, hunting, fishing obtions etc) playing certain kind of role.
Diversity among Africans is actually much larger than among Asians, Europeans and Native Americans because those who left Africa were most of the time with relatively small groups and very isolated compared to those who stayed in Africa.
Re: Why do Africans have large noses and lips?
rswils:Not about beauty? Attractive mates exist in all cultures. Question was, what survival use necessitated large, broad noses, thick lips for only some tribes of Africa, Melasia, Alaskan Eskimos, Siberian Mongol, some Australian aborigines? All scattered across one half of the world. What common factors forged the similar change. Maybe jungle/desert/frozen habits are quite similar and food/water sources, oxygen requirements or enhanced scent tracking forced the mutation.
Re: Why do Africans have large noses and lips?
Re: Why do Africans have large noses and lips?
The title of this topic is just down right, sad. Amazing the title could not have read "why do some ethnicities have larger noses and lips, then others?" News Flash, every ethnicity has a share of large noses and lips it simply depends on the genes that run within that family line. Wow, education 1:1!
Re: Why do Africans have large noses and lips?
I don't know the answer to this specific question, but we do know some things about how genes are linked on DNA. Sometimes a trait that is helpful for survival is very closely associated with another trait on the DNA strand. So when natural selection keeps trait A in the gene pool as advantageous, trait B is also preserved. Trait B may confer no advantage, but it gets "carried along." I seem to remember reading something about this and that thick, lustrous hair in Asian women was somehow linked to smaller breasts. (I did not look that up. May be remembering wrong.)

Diner Reviews
The menu had a unique spin on
tapas. The pork belly was wonderful."
Dined on 7/29/2014
We all work in customer service
and know that glitches are possible. The server ran into my friend, stepped on her toe and didn't even apologize. We were told to go the bar when we asked for a glass of water. The total bill was messed up and it took them 20 min to figure out what's going on. Our plesant dining experience was ruined at the end"
Dined on 7/27/2014
The brunch is tapa style and they
have a $25 unlimited food option. This was easily the best brunch my friends and I had the entire summer we were in DC. The service was amazing, the food even better. You will not be disappointed and you will not leave hungry!"
Dined on 7/27/2014
Made reservations for Sunday
brunch for 3 at 12:30, I was late and the restaurant was very accommodating, we were still seated upon arrival. We all went with the all bottomless brunch option and enjoyed EVERYTHING we ordered. my friends were a little worried because the menu isn't traditional brunch (waffles and omelets, and bacon...etc) but they really enjoyed it. I'm already planning our return! BEST. BRUNCH. EVER."
Dined on 7/27/2014
Went for lunch / brunch on a
Saturday as a party of 2. Great, vibrant atmosphere for hanging out and having drinks. Service and the food itself was mediocre at best, but that being said, would if I were with a large group looking to snack and party the unlimited brunch deal is a no-brainer."
Dined on 7/26/2014
If unlimited small plates wasn't
enough,the above average quality of the offerings was an added bonus. I really liked that they had a non-alcoholic option, which is hard to find since it seems you cannot have brunch without the traditional mimosa or Bloody Mary. I would recommend going early since the place starts to fill up around 11:30am. The service was great. The waitress was attentive but not overbearing. I would definitely return."
Dined on 7/26/2014
While getting an outside table can
be challenging! The wait is worth it. Good food, ambience and great happy hour menu."
Dined on 7/25/2014
Went for brunch and you really
can't beat the bottomless brunch deal. Loved the lychee bellini, masa mimosa, fried yuca, veggie eggs benedict. pizza was good too. good service. Do have to comment on the lighting and noise level in the main dining room. If you're sitting on the side tables, there's very little light, so a candle would be helpful. Also they should do something about the acoustics, found myself screaming to my friend across the table. Otherwise, really laid back atmosphere and you can hang out after brunch at the bar, nobody bothered us"
Dined on 7/13/2014
Our bartender Craig was on top of
things, will be back most definitely."
Dined on 7/13/2014
Went to Masa 14 due to
recommendation - I am so glad we did... Do the brunch menu - unlimited... Masa mimozas are amazing.. the food plates are perfect for sharing.. you would enjoy each and every dish... the benedict is really good... lots of taste and flavors.. i would go back in a heartbeat."
Dined on 7/12/2014
Good food and great bar scene.
Very pleased with the experience."
Dined on 7/9/2014
We chose at least seven different
things off of the menu plus a dessert and the only thing that disappointed was the flatbread- just not my cup of tea. Everything else was delicious. First time diner. Definitely need to come back. Was surprised that it wasn't more crowded around happy hour/dinner time. It started getting more filled later in the evening (on a Wednesday)."
Dined on 7/9/2014
I celebrated my birthday here with
a group of 12 people and we had an awesome time. The food and service were excellent. I would definitely recommend to friends and I will be returning."
Dined on 7/7/2014
Brunch is always great here!
Bottomless EVERYTHING if one so desires. We just did bottomless food, which was perfect for trying out a little bit of everything. Unfortunately, because it is (always) so busy during brunch and so many things are being ordered, our waiter forgot a few of our items. It's not a huge deal since you can just always order it again, but it was toward the end of our meal and we just didn't want to wait for more items to arrive. Overall, service was fine but there were a few hiccups but the bottomless food and drinks is why everyone goes. It is popular for a reason. Brunch items are not your typical french toast and eggs Benedict, there is a great array of different and exciting choices!"
Dined on 7/6/2014
amazing dishes. Enjoy very much,
especially the LoMein, Black Cod, Brisket."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Spent Fourth of July weekend
visiting my daughter in Georgetown. Her friend recommended a bunch of places and boy were we happy with Masa! Great service; Gigi was friendly, gave great suggestions and made the experience wonderful. Food was hot to table, fresh with great unique offering! Would definitely recommend!"
Dined on 7/5/2014
Went here on my brother's
recommendation for brunch on a Saturday morning. Fantastic bottomless brunch with solid cocktails and good food. Our waitress was great for the first 30 minutes we were there, but as more tables filled it seemed like the restaurant was understaffed. Overall a very positive brunch experience."
Dined on 7/5/2014
The all-you-can-eat wasn't worth
the price for our group of 8, but they were very accommodating to our numerous orders and drinks we shared. The total was 1/2 of what it would've been for our group and we left quite full with little food still on the table. Great brunch spot and wonderful food. Service was really great and she took care of us well. Good spot to visit for brunch when in DC."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Great place to enjoy summer
weather having dinner at the rooftop area (do not need reservation for that area first come first serve) all the food we order was delicious, rapid service and The attitude of The people that serve us was The best! Definitly a place I'ld like to come back maybe next time for brunch."
Dined on 7/4/2014
My mom and I have been doing
weekend brunches for the last few months. We were very happy with our choice of trying out Masa14 for the first time. We read the reviews and were excited. We were very pleased with the quality of food and the nice selection of food and alcohol choices. We did the unlimited brunch with alcohol and felt it was worth the $. There were so many options for 2 people that we will definitely go back to try items we didn't have room for. I will definitely be getting the brisket buns again!"
Dined on 7/4/2014
The food tasted excellent. I had
fun and enjoyed sharing tapas with friends, so I will be back."
Dined on 6/28/2014
Very friendly staff--went out of
their way to make us at home, and ready to go on to the theater--the small plates were good--not terrific--crunchy shrimp was tasty, and grilled brussel sprouts were excellent, if you like brussel sprouts!"
Dined on 6/27/2014
Great food! Our server was a bit
scattered, but she was friendly. She was a bit slow in serving us our drinks, but I'm sure it was because we were guzzling them down. The food was amazing!"
Dined on 6/26/2014
This was a great time, brought my
sister here for brunch and we weren't disappointed. Staff seemed stretched thin as my drinks were slow to come and sometimes incorrect. Would likely come here again for brunch."
Dined on 6/22/2014
I returned for the first time in
three years and was very disappointed. We ordered seven different small plates and only the chicken wings tasted good (it's hard to mess that up). The brisket was overcooked, the Brussels sprouts weren't good, the chicken curry dish was awful, I can go on. The wait staff was also a bit pushy. At least the ambiance was still good and the hostess was nice."
Dined on 6/21/2014
The food was amazing, and the
drinks were always full!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
First time trying Latin-Asian
fusion. What a treat. The $25 option to try as many dishes as we wanted was perfect. Three of us tasted 14 dishes. Yum. If we'd had time (we were heading to a play at Studio Theatre) we would have opted for the $39 drink and dish combo..The restaurant is a bit loud, but we could still hear each other..Although we were late for our reserved time, due to traffic, we were seated immediately. Our waitress was very patient as we selected our dishes. All in all a perfect meal."
Dined on 6/21/2014
Noodles with shrimp and beef are
excellent and the ahi ceviche with apples is out of this world"
Dined on 6/20/2014
Family brunch for Father's Day.
Unfortunately couldn't sit on rooftop but got nice table by the window. The waiter was wonderful and continually recommended which dishes to choose next (we had chosen the unlimited tapas). Favorite dishes include the wild mushroom flatbread, korean short rib tops vieja, chilaquiles, cauliflower, seared salmon salad, and plaintains. Would definitely recommend this place for brunch!"
Dined on 6/15/2014
Great new brunch menu and great
staff! A small group of us discussed coming back at least once a month for brunch."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Malolo bed and breakfast love to
have our guest enjoy Washington DC great restaurants and Masa 14 is on top of the list!!!!"
Dined on 6/11/2014
I am so sorry that I can't
remember her name BUT our waitress had only been there about a week -- she's from Summit, NJ -- and yet she was incredibly helpful with the menu and drink selections, and set a very cheerful and celebratory tone. That was good because we hadn't seen our friend for over a year and it was a wonderful place to catch up. Only drawback was the noise level - was hoarse by the end of the night. Food was delicious and innovative. Would definitely recommend it!"
Dined on 6/6/2014
This restaurant is in a new hot
location on 14th street with many activities near by. The feel of the restaurant is romantic and the Asian fusion cuisine is very good with tasty specialty drinks. The server was very nice and knowledgable, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to start their night with a great meal before heading out to party."
Dined on 6/2/2014
I had booked this restaurant to
celebrate and out of town friend's birthday. The service and food was terrible. The waitress saw all the leftover uneaten food and didn't even ask if there was an issue. She was rude and unattentive. "
Dined on 5/30/2014
This is one of my favorite
restaurants to bring out-of-town guests to....so unique and the food is delicious! Will definitely be coming back for more. "
Dined on 5/29/2014
Our waitress Gabriell was great --
and very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and not. We really appreciated that! "
Dined on 5/28/2014
I took my mom here for her
birthday brunch, and was a little nervous at first not knowing what to expect having never been to Masa 14 before. Instantly the hostess was super accommodating, and very attentive. We got to our table and within 2 minutes our server greated us with a warm and genuine smile. From being a server myself I know that is hard to achieve when you are as busy as she was. She knew everything about the menu, suggested things I wouldn't dream of eating that were out of this world, and took the time to talk to my mom about her trip to Morocco (server was from there). I couldn't have been happier with this shot in the dark. Gay friendly, mother friendly, foodie friendly. I will for sure be coming back!!"
Dined on 5/26/2014
Doesn't get any better than this!
This was my second visit and I will definitely be back. "
Dined on 5/25/2014
I took a date to Masa 14 and it
couldn't have worked out better. We went early to catch happy hour and stayed for dinner. I had made a special request via my reservation and the restaurant was very gracious in accommodating that request. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, and the ambience was just about perfect for a date. I would not hesitate to go back again."
Dined on 5/23/2014
The two of us split six dishes
between us, and it was just right (although we probably could have done without the sixth dish, which was the ancho rubbed beef brisket). Everything was delicious. I loved the seared salmon roll (on the spicy side) and the lo mein; he loved the adobo pork. Our server, Kofi, was fabulous - we loved everything he suggested, and he was really friendly and warm. We thought the price was pretty reasonable for the amount of food we had. We went on a Sunday evening around 7:30, and there were plenty of tables - the place is huge. We definitely recommend this place. "

Maryland and Virginia have long been among our nation's economic leaders. Even as we move forward out of this deep recession, both states are creating jobs and expanding opportunity especially in the critical sectors of science, security and innovation. As a result of our close proximity, Maryland and Virginia are often benchmarked with each other. Watch the video above to learn more about the similarities and differences between these two states in our Chesapeake region.
