Curlin made the right call

South Terrebonne coach Richard Curlin has enjoyed plenty of success during his 20 years as the leader of the Gators football program.
He led South Terrebonne to its only state championship in football back in 1991, and he has won more than 100 career games as coach at the school.
He has guided the Gators to countless playoff appearances and district titles, along with sending many of his athletes on to play college football.
He would also be the first to tell you that he has suffered his share of tough losses on the football field over the years, but no loss was probably more upsetting than the one the Gators experienced off-the-field this month.
Curlin announced earlier this month that the Gators canceled spring football practices because nearly 25 percent of the team's final roster was in danger of being academically ineligible in the fall. Seven or eight of the players in jeopardy were ones who could be starters on next year's team.
Curlin said it was the first time he has ever had to cancel spring practice.
Instead of playing its scheduled spring game against Patterson last week, Curlin said the Gators were hitting the books in study hall in an effort to combat the team's academic struggles.
"That's how dire the situation is," Curlin said in an article last week. "We need to focus more on the classroom and less on the football part."
I've always had a great deal of respect for Curlin and the entire South Terrebonne football program, but I think he should be applauded even more for his decision to hold his players accountable by canceling spring practice.
Curlin did what any great leader would do. He addressed his team's biggest weaknesses and found ways to correct it. His decision to cancel spring practices might have been a tough and unpopular one, but it was something that needed to be done before the situation turned even worse.
The players at South Terrebonne, as well as student-athletes from all local schools, needed some kind of wake-up call to get their act together. They must understand the importance of academics and why it should always come before athletics.
It doesn't matter how successful the program is or how talented its athletes are. If the players are failing in the classroom, then they shouldn't be allowed to participate in sports until their grades improve.
I really hope other coaches around the area follow in Curlin's footsteps. It would really benefit their programs if student-athletes are winning in the classroom as well as on the playing field.
Usually around this time of year, there are a few local prep athletes who are signing college scholarships.
Unfortunately, that number is relatively small because many athletes do not meet the academic requirements to receive scholarships, whether it is because of a low ACT score or a low grade-point average.
If schools, coaches and parents start stressing the importance of academics, then maybe more of our area's athletes would receive scholarships.
Another concern is that many schools are waiting until it is too late to address these academic problems. Every coach should have an academic plan in place to help prepare student-athletes for college as soon as they enter high school as freshmen.
In that situation, they won't have to wait until a player's junior or senior year to rush and try to meet college requirements before it's too late.
It is all about helping student-athletes now so they can become better leaders for tomorrow.

A couple of days ago, I had a friend and her daughter coming over for lunch, and wanted to make something that was hearty yet not too heavy. A perfect fall meal. My go-to dish whenever I'm in that kind of mood is to make a curry of some sort. It's so versatile, easy and yummy. Best of all, I can use whatever I've got lying around in the house so it doesn't require much planning. Before my friend arrived, I was kinda nervous about whether her daughter would like the curry or not. Turns out she did. Both my friend and her daughter ate a TON, AND even took home the leftovers. Winner! As with any curry, you can adjust the amount of spices according to your taste. I made this version, which is pretty mild, so if you want spicy, then simply add more cayenne.
- 5-6 medium white potatoes, cubed – or can substitute squash, sweet potato, turnips or rutabaga
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 yellow onions, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (1 inch) piece ginger root, peeled (frozen ginger is MUCH easier to work with)
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 4 teaspoons curry powder
- 4 teaspoons garam masala
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspons Vegeta or 1 teaspoon chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 cups frozen peas
- Saute onions, garlic and potatoes in oil until onions are slightly translucent, around 2-3 minutes.
- Using a microplane, grate in the ginger and add the cumin, cayenne, curry powder and garam masala. Saute until the spices are lightly toasted, around 1 minute.
- Add tomatoes, coconut milk, and chickpeas, salt, sugar and Vegeta.
- Bring to a boil over medium high heat, and then reduce to medium heat, stirring every few minutes. Cook until potatoes are tender and fork tender, around 30 minutes.
- When potatoes are almost cooked through, add ketchup and frozen peas. Cook for another 5 minutes, until peas have warmed through. Adjust seasonings as required.
- Voila! It's that easy!

Doctor Who (1963–1989)
Episode List
Season 23
6 Sep. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part One
The Doctor is put on trail by the Time Lords again. The first of two events from his resent past is presented as evidence of his interference in the affairs of other worlds. In particular, his actions on planet Ravalox.
13 Sep. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Two
The Doctor finds that the subterranean UK Habitat is run by a cloistered robot named Drathro, whom the inhabitants call "The Immortal." Their black light energy converters are destabilizing, unaware that it's the result of two space pirates mucking about on the surface with designs on looting their dwelling.
20 Sep. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Three
The Doctor escapes to rejoin Peri on the surface but shortly becomes the prisoner of a surface-dwelling tribe called The Free. Ravalox isn't Ravalox after all, but before the Doctor can learn much more an irresistible agent from UK Habitat comes to fetch him back.
27 Sep. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Four
All those on Ravolox are in exponentially greater peril than anyone can comprehend. If anything in the entire universe is to survive, it may come down to the Doctor arguing against machine logic over the value of life.
4 Oct. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Five
The court looks into the Doctor's investigation of Thoros Beta, home planet of the Mentors whom the Doctor suspects of selling advanced weaponry to primitive cultures.
11 Oct. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Six
Having been put through a makeshift truth extractor, the Doctor appears damaged, apt to mimic the personalities of those with whom he has eye contact. He eventually abandons Peri and a gung-ho warrior king in favor of joining in with Sil and Dr. Crozier in the latest of their perverse projects.
18 Oct. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Seven
While the Doctor helps Dr. Crozier transfer Lord Kiv's brain into a new host skull, Peri accompanies King Yrcanos as he searches for the Alpha Resistance fighters whom he feels, most certainly, will follow him into glorious battle against the Mentors and the Doctor.
25 Oct. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Eight
The first transfer is flawed, so Dr. Crozier needs to transfer Lord Kiv into another host body. Unfortunately, Peri meets all the requirements for the subsequent candidate. Since the Doctor's been helpful and has somewhat of a personal interest in Peri, he's permitted to locate an equally suitable substitute candidate, if he can. The prosecution rests.
1 Nov. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Nine
As the trail continues, the Doctor presents an event from his future as evidence of his reform.
8 Nov. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Ten
A lethal booby-trap in the Hydroponic Center awakens the genetically engineered fruit pods in storage, and passengers and crewmen alike start disappearing without trace. There's a murderer on board and the Doctor means to find out who he or she is.
15 Nov. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Eleven
A course change that takes the Hyperion III closer to a black hole could prove unwise when there are so many aboard ship with hidden agendas. Disappearances continue, a murderer remains at large, and one person finally crumbles under the strain of harboring a guilty secret.
22 Nov. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Twelve
With factions vying for control of the ship, the Vervoids are found to be responsible for the many disappearances. Only the Doctor sees the fundamental but missed point as to why they can't be reasoned with or why they can't be allowed to arrive on Earth.
29 Nov. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Thirteen
The charge against the Doctor changes from mere meddling to inexcusable genocide. His future looks both grim and very short.
6 Dec. 1986The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Fourteen
So much ado by the Valeyard and the Master over the Doctor's death makes the Doctor wary of being made decoy for some other, truer target. Continuing in the Matrix itself, he may find both them and the answers he seeks.

Skip to comments.At 147 mph, highway safety is just a blur
Posted on 09/17/2010 10:18:22 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Going 96 mph on a 65-mph highway is enough to land a speeder in serious legal trouble.
Thats 31 mph over the speed limit, and its the threshold between a regular speeding violation and the more egregious offense of excessive speeding, which earns violators a meeting with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation that theyll likely walk out of with a suspended license.
On Wednesday night, state police stopped a motorcyclist they said was clocked at 147 mph. Thats 82 mph over the limit.
That is probably the highest speed Ive ever seen, and Ive been at PennDOT nine years now, PennDOT spokeswoman Fritzi Schreffler said.
The motorcyclist might be one of the fastest speeders caught in the midstate. Schreffler and Trooper Tom Pinkerton, a state police spokesman, said theyve never seen reports of people caught at speeds that are even close to 147 mph.
The identity of the 24-year-old Enola man will be released after hes charged when toxicology reports come back indicating whether he was under the influence of alcohol, police said.
In 2003, a Carbon County man was caught while going 182 mph in his Lamborghini Diablo.
In Wednesdays case, an officer waiting in the construction zone on Interstate 81 northbound in Silver Spring Township just before Route 114 caught the red 2003 Honda CBR 600RR motorcycles speed on radar, according to state police. The officer pulled out, lights flashing, to signal the motorcyclist over.
Pinkerton said police wouldnt chase a vehicle going that fast because it would put other drivers in harms way. But, he said, You still have to pull out and afford the driver the opportunity to know that police are wanting him to pull over.
Police said they caught up with the motorcyclist when he slowed down to avoid a cluster of three tractor-trailers.
He should count himself lucky that the tractor-trailers were ahead, Schreffler said.
It takes a persons brain 1.5 seconds to identify an issue ahead in the road and react to it, said Greg Sullenberger of Crashteams Pennsylvania & West Virginia, an accident-investigation agency. Someone going 147 mph would travel about 322 feet in those 1.5 seconds, making it unlikely he or she would be able to avoid an accident, he said.
If someone crashes a motorcycle or even a car at 147 mph, experts agree it would take a miracle for him to come out alive.
Your internal organs just cant survive that, Sullenberger said.
Fast-moving motorcycles present a special danger for other vehicles. Because a motorcycle is a narrow object, it would slice through a car rather than just hit it, injuring or killing the driver or passengers. It will sort of cut into a car like a knife into butter, Sullenberger said.
A speeder who survives going 147 mph could face steep legal penalties.
Drivers going more than 31 mph over the speed limit have to attend a special hearing with PennDOT, Schreffler said. That can result in a range of penalties, such as retaking the driving test, mandated driving classes and a 15-day license suspension.
Theres no special class under state law for drivers going as much as 82 mph over the limit because its so unheard of, Schreffler said. So despite the extreme circumstances, PennDOT officials, as much as they might like to, cannot impose penalties outside whats specified by law, she said. But the motorcyclist in Wednesdays incident likely will see doubled fines because he was clocked in a work zone, she said.
In addition to speeding violations, someone going that fast could face charges of reckless driving or recklessly endangering another person, depending on whether there were other vehicles on the road, Pinkerton said.
My corvette easily went faster than that uphill on one occasion when I was more or less testing the replacement of all fuel injectors. I didn't even realize I was going that fast and when I looked at the speedometer I was actually a little surprised and immediately backed off the accelerator.
That was over 15 years ago, and I know that plenty of current model motorcycles can easily reach much higher velocity.
Posters using the childishly inane term organ donor and/or similar terms following this post are utter nitwits.
Aircraft clocked (or spotted, however that works) me at 125 in Blythe California. Ticket for 90 because the officer didn't believe my car could go any more than that.
The dashed white line in the center of the road turned into a solid white line. The telephone poles were going by faster than I could count. Tunnel vision.
All I could think was, "Oh well, if a car pulls out in front of us, it isn't going to hurt."
It was quite an adrenaline rush. Although that was 30-some years ago. I wouldn't care to do that again.
82 mph over the limit, doubled because of the construction zone. I'd hate to see the dollar amount of the fine.
Maybe if you are 90 years old. That sounds ridiculous.
...but a bit of Googling tends to confirm it...Driver Reaction Time/a>
They don't care if you die they just want your $$$ and property before you die.The state could care less.
A lot of us have done this. He was unfortunate to get clocked.
I had a pal, Doug, who owned a '68 Barracuda with a 426 hemi. Four of us had been hanging around the Sunset Strip sneaking a beer or two. On the way back to Orange County Doug had the speedometer pegged at 130 mph. God must have been looking after us that night.
Lots of PC mythology in that article!
"slice like a knife", what a crock.
Fastest bike I ever had was only good to about 130, some of my cars were significantly faster.
I have yet to own my fastest car, and I will find the top speed of every car I build.
I cannot say here what I think of nanny state jerks on a mission.
I have no problem with anyone driving as fast as they are capable, so long as the road is reasonably clear and they do not drive stupid.
This guy doing that fast in a construction zone, = STUPID!
Of course you cant use the term organ donor. At that speed everything is mush after the second bounce.
They may not be able to suspend his license for long, but man his insurance bill is going to be insane
I own a 2006 Subaru WRX Turbo - not the STI though. I gotten the car to 120 mph going through Nevada one time but being older, I am not comfortable taking it over 90 to 100. I gotten stopped three times in the car. One time doing almost 90 mph going across Missouri, 75 mph in Indiana and stopped for tinted windows in Utah on I-15. Twenty years ago I had a 1990 Mustang GT and got the car to 120 mph on US 24 between US31 and Wabash in Indiana.
The car is a nice little rocket and a blast to drive but also have to be careful to keep my license clean. The ticket in Missouri, they refused to plea bargain the ticket since that one was reported to the MO State Highway Patrol by a homeland security officer.
I remember a kid - Brandon D Raap getting stopped almost four years ago in Northwest Indiana for doing 142 in a 55 in a Sub WRX STi. I don't know what happened at court and he also had a valid Colorado license. That same ticket here in Colorado would be 12 points - an instant letter to come in for a DMV hearing for a license suspension or red license (restricted license).
Back then the cops couldn't go over 100 and they didn't have helicopters.
Convertible Z28.
Six Speed Manual.
Cold air.
I-5, south of Los Banos.
One minute.
I've got a Mustang GT. I drive it like an old lady. My kids scream about it. They are not allowed to drive it.
For those of us overseas who are used to metric, this calculates to 236.57 kph. That's pretty damn fast.
Yes, 147 is so dangerous, that is why drivers in Germany routinely reach speeds of 200 MPH on the autobahn. Granted, it is harder to react at that speed but Germans seem to handle it quite well and have a better safety record than we do, per capita.
I'll never forget one day in West Germany on the autobahn when I was serving in the Army. I was driving along in a military issue Blazer about 70-75 MPH and saw headlights flashing in my rear view mirror around a mile behind me. In next to no time flat a Mercedes went screaming by me at what must have been around 200 MPH and was over a mile ahead of me in what seemed like a few seconds.
That was an interesting introduction to life in the fast lane!
1999 stock BMW M3 with a chip 175+ no problem and drives like a dream at that speed.
Autobahn, Regensberg to Munich. Had the car floored and almost killed myself ausfahrting at full speed. Luckily, that was a lot of grass in front of me when I catapulted off the road.
It sure as hell improves your driving skills. I remember getting back home driving at 80 mph thinking "oh my God we drive so slow".
Hitting anything at that speed would make your internal organs a pulp, rendering them unusable.
Back in 86 I was one of these idiots on a brand new GSXR 750 with a bigbore kit.Just south of atlanta was the town of hapeville where I was made a guest of the hapeville hilton(JAIL) for running(clocked) at 153 MPH on 85 southbound.The world of shite that happened afterward cured me.There was an ANGEL riding with me that night.
Then again, they probably realized they too, would be trying to get out of Blythe as fast as possible.
Seem to remember seeing something graphic like that one time. In a car yes, on a bike on the track, yes. On a bike on a road with other cars, no way.
Slice through the windshield definitely but otherwise the bike will easily go sideways once it hits a car (or so I think)
147 mph on Pennsylvania roads! The guy should not be given a ticket> He should be given a psychiatric exam.
Sometimes, the jokes write themselves...
It did that time. The two cases of Bischofshof in the back made it, luckily.
I had a '92 GSX600, yoshi pipe, carb kit, ignition advance, K&N filters with modified air box, ect. This has the same crank and lower end as the 750GSXR. Hit over 136 from Mendenhal glacier visitor's center heading back towards the back loop in Juneau. Nice little straight away there. Tee shirt and no helmet, eyes watering down my back, thinking back now it scares me how youth can make your balls so big and your brain so small. Damn, I miss that bike.
Weren't you afraid the tires would blow?
They didn't have Eagles and Pirellis and such back then...were the tires still capable of taking sustained 150 mph speeds?
The tears! I forgot about the tears until you reminded me of that.Kind of gives you a chill thinking back on the stuff we used to do.My kids are young and only think of their old man as a stick in the mudd.We will just keep it that way.Be well FRiend.
I've driven 149.2 MPH, and it wasn't a blur.
It was on a track...but it still wasn't a blur.
The guy saw the semis, so it must not have been a blur for him, either.
"Ive got a Mustang GT. I drive it like an old lady."
If you drive it like an old lady, why do you have it?
Seriously...what's the point?
Not a blur is right, but scary and exhilarating with the exhilarating part taking over until you stop, then the scary part comes back.
"Hitting anything at that speed would make your internal organs a pulp, rendering them unusable."
That may be true...or maybe not.
I've hit a concrete wall doing 130+, and parked the car right on top of it...all four wheels airborne. I didn't have a scratch, and wasn't even sore. I was strapped in dang good.
However, if one doesn't hit anything at any fast speed...it's one heck of a ride!
"...then the scary part comes back."
Not for me! I wanted to do it again, and again!
And, I've done it since...and will do it every chance I get.
I've liked to "go fast" since I was a kid. ;o)
I did 138 mph in a short burst two weeks ago in my 911 when a Navy jock in a Mustang GT was egging me on
and my 10 year old man child too...who was riding shotgun
and we had the top down..
on I-40 West about 1 mile east of Hermitage exit...coming down that hill from Mt Juliet by the big green water tank...he kept toying with us and my lad was mortified that dad was punking out...I was doing about 75 or so...8 lanes...and I could see open highway ahead with high divider and no troopers so I just dropped to third and nailed it for about 7-8 seconds I'd guess...roared past the GT fairly easy...those PS2s grip great on hot tarmac...I looked at the speedo and wimped and let off and got off at the exit for a Diet Dr Pepper and the pilot honked as he flew by behind me in his great value for the money GT.
this is the second time I've goosed it with a navy pilot in a GT...once on I-75 in north GA in the 80s...for about 50 miles at very high speeds...near top end...crazy..
anyway...cops woulda killed me and wifey too but lad was high as a kite over it for days...I'm sure his teacher knows by now..lol
that 80mph or so to 90% of the 188 top speed is where a Porsche 911 really shines...it's just a steady sure pull of acceleration
besides a track....the only place to really do high speeds now is light traveled freeways with a spotter out front on the phone with you in daytime
TN has a new moving ticket for driving on unopened new highways...I know that ticket...had no idea...so silly
that was where we hot rodded when i was young
If you drive it like an old lady, why do you have it?
Seriously...whats the point?
I have the mustang cause I wanted one when I was a kid and never got one. So my husband got one for me. He drives it fast.
Tell my sons they still can't drive my car and after you feed them, send them home.
that is the fastest car for the price one can buy
great choice
i has Subaru 4-wheel wagon 30 years ago...drove it to Alaska from Mississippi
How sweet of your husband to give you your lifelong dream.
You drive it however you want...and enjoy every minute of it.
But, don't think for a minute that your sons will stop begging you to drive it.
It's a man machine! ;o)
On the way to Vegas at 2 AM, this particular fellow thought it would be fun to see what the Porsche could do.
Somewhere past Zyzzyx Road, where the 15 Freeway winds through the hills, this particular person was going about 130 MPH or so while having a wonderful and exhilarating time.
Coming around a bend, this particular driver came upon an 18 Wheeler doing about 50 MPH. In the wink of an eye, or was it 1.5 seconds, this particular fellow saw his life flash before his eyes as he veered to the left and missed the rear end of the 18 Wheeler by what seemed at the time a few millimeters.
Needless to say, this incident was something that has not been repeated, except for the time I, oops he, almost hit a Cow while driving through New Mexico in the middle of the night on I-25 (I believe) while on a trip with a former girlfriend in her Galaxie 500.
Those were the days...
That is awesome! Careful that children's services don't get ahold of that info. ;o)
Was it a Shelby GT by any chance?
You know one thing about Navy pilots? They love fast cars, but they love fast airplanes even more.

The Radisson in downtown Duluth will remain closed until May 1 as the hotel deals with damage from a broken water main.
Hotel officials say the Radisson is working "as quickly as possible" to determine the extent of damage caused by last week's flooding.
A water line broke, flooding parts of the hotel's basement and disrupting electrical service to the building. The Duluth News Tribune reports the building remains without power and heat.
The Radisson relocated its guests to other hotels and is working with other hotels and businesses to relocate future room reservations and banquets it had booked.
Updates on the hotel's progress will be made every Wednesday.

Gangbang fans will be dazzled by this effort. Stock this for them.
Poor little Aurora Snow is ditched by her boyfriend at the auto yard for daring to disagree with him. Luckily for her, The Gangbang Guys are there to give her all the attention and loving, post-breakup emotional support that any woman realistically needs. Of course, she also gets multiple loads blown across her face, double vaginal penetration, double anal penetration and plain old double penetration, and she gets to toss random salads as well. Snow is just radiant while she's getting fucked by the gang. She's so enthusiastic that it's hard to believe that any woman alive wouldn't want to get fucked by a bunch of guys at once. She puts out all the energy and ravenous hunger that a woman in this kind of video would need to, but she does this in every video that she's in. Pre-nom her for Female Performer of the Year.
Max Hardcore photographs Kinky and Flick Shagwell at Chez Max with The Gangbang Guys as his crew. In the intro bit, Hardcore tells the girls that being sexy in front of the camera is about what's "in your little fucking head" and offers the girls to the guys in honor of "crew appreciation day." The two Brits suck and fuck ad infinitum as Hardcore snaps away with his camera. Kinky is quite the cum receptacle while Shagwell excels at taking multiple cocks in her holes. The video is well shot and delivers what fans of this kind of stuff want. Pre-nom this great effort for Best All-Sex Video.

Council hopeful says Northport needs new ideas
Published: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 8:04 p.m.
Northport's city roads, neighborhoods and businesses need to be a top priority but, so does long-term planning, said Northport City Council District 5 candidate Jeff Hogg,
Jeff Hogg
Jeff Hogg
Age: 31 (Jan. 26, 1981)
Education: Graduated from Cedartown (Ga.) High School in 1999. Graduated with B.A. degree in political science and English from the University of Alabama in 2003.
Career: Is an insurance agent and select unit manager at the Fitts Agency in Tuscaloosa.
Political experience: First run for office.
Family: Two daughters, Addison and Keltie.
Hogg commends the city on the long-term budgeting and planning that has happened in the past few years, and said that needs to continue, with the city setting more long-term goals.
"The economy hurt a lot of people and businesses over the past few years, which in return can directly and indirectly hurt the city," Hogg said. "We need to be ready for anything that comes our way and make sure that we leave Northport better than before for future generations."
It is the first time that Hogg has run for elected office. Being involved in the community influenced his decision to run, he said. In his spare time, Hogg has spent 13 years coaching in the Northport Wildcats youth football program, is on the advisory council for the Tuscaloosa Park and Recreation Authority football board, is a board member of Caring Days and is the president of the Tuscaloosa Quarterback Club.
"I live in Northport and have been involved with various organizations and different groups in our area as a leader," Hogg said. "I would just like to give back to the community."
If elected, Hogg said he wants to focus on city roads and ensuring neighborhoods are safe and clean. He also wants a "strong focus" on the fire and police departments.
"I feel that Northport is headed in the right direction, but I don't want to see it get complacent," Hogg said. "I would like to continue the progress to make our city better than before."
Hogg said he could use his leadership skills and background to serve District 5 and offer fresh ideas.
"In politics, I think it's good to have some turnover to bring in some new ideas," Hogg said. "I could bring in a lot of energy that the constituents deserve."

Living Alone Program
Traditional hospice criteria require patients to have a primary caregiver -- someone that lives with the patient and attends to his or her daily needs. As a result, access to hospice services has been routinely denied to otherwise qualified people simply because they live alone. Approximately one-third of people over age 65 live alone.
The Living Alone Program from Penn Wissahickon Hospice makes it possible for people to maintain their independence while receiving hospice services. The Living Alone Program started in 1989. The program has served as a role model for numerous other programs throughout the country.
Admission Criteria
- Patient must be ambulatory at time of admission
- Patient must be psychologically stable
- Patient must have no recent history of alcohol or drug abuse
- Patient must have adequate housing
ServicesIn addition to standard hospice services, a hospice social worker assists in the organization and implementation of the best plan of care for Living Alone Program patients, including long-term planning for when the patient can no longer reside alone. The social worker will continually assess needs including:
- A medical alert system to assure the patient prompt emergency help
- A door lock-box enabling hospice staff to gain entrance at all times
- Helping with assigning durable power of attorney
- Arranging for regular meals or shopping
- Frequent telephone contact with the patient, including weekends

I experienced an issue, however I am not exactly sure what may have caused it. I just wanted to point it out though just in case it might have been a bug with the plugin.
1. I created a website on dev.domain1.com
2. After development I moved the WP website over to newdomain.com
- I edited the mysql database to replace all instances of the old domain with the new domain.
3. For WP-Admin when you go into the settings page of the plugin, there is a listing of premade content types provided by you that you can provide us that we can check to enable or disable them such as the glossary.
After the move, that list no longer appeared and the "Glossary" menu item in WP-Admin no longer appear, and the glossary on my website no longer appeared.
4. I took the chance to completely uninstall/remove the plugin from within WordPress.. and re-install from within wordpress.
Upon enabling the glossary feature, everything worked again and I didn't lose my glossary data. :).
Everything is working perfect now.
The only reason I am posting this was because I had several other plugins which weren't affected by the move, but this one was.
However, this doesn't necessarily mean it was the plugin.. something may have got corrupted during my move. But wanted to point it out just in case.
Thank you for such an awesome plugin btw and the great support you provide!!!

I recently downloaded the new Starkers v4 theme. I noticed that in lieu of using
<?php get_header(); ?> to include the header code
They're using
<?php get_template_parts( array( 'parts/shared/html-header', 'parts/shared/header' ) ); ?> and by which including 2 separate files /parts/shared/header.php and /parts/shared/header-html.php
I am just curious if there is any benefit to doing it this way? I would normally just create a header.php file and put in the root theme folder and call it using:
<?php get_header(); ?>
Can someone give me a reason(s) to take this approach. It sort looks like they were trying to take more of a MVC approach to the theme code.

Black Web Friday 5/25/12; The Last One
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on May 25, 2012
Greetings, and welcome to the last edition of Black Web Friday. I don't have much to say except that I hope some of the folks I've linked to get some traffic, gets a few new commenters, and that it helps some of them to be seen as influential enough in some fashion to finally start making some "best of" lists. I know it's probably a pipe dream since even most of the people I've featured haven't found out about it, but I like dreaming. If you want to see what started the whole thing, check out the first one.
By the way, during this series I didn't mention it often, but a lot of these people have their own independent businesses as well, so my hope is that if their blogs have been visited that people have taken some time to see what else they do. There's a lot of unknown talent out there, and if I've helped even one person get work, I feel proud of what I've done here. Oh, and I hope you don't mind if I take a brief moment for myself and point you to an interview I did on a site called Credit Card Assist, my first talking about my financial blog. Hey, I'm also a black blogger, right? 🙂
Here we go, and I'll have more links than usual since it's my last time.
Demetria Lucas is known as Belle, hence the name of her blog A Belle In Brooklyn. She's a life coach, but she's also been named one of the top black bloggers by both The Root and Black Enterprise Magazine, both of whom I've been shooting for; sigh… She writes a lot about entertainment and relationships, including answering questions that people send her, something I've been thinking about starting. Standard WordPress comment system.
Tami Highbaugh-Abdullah writes the blog Aries GDIM, which stands for Graphic Design & Internet Marketing. Her blog talks mainly about social media, internet marketing and technology, which figures since she's one of the first people to get a degree in internet marketing. It's great stuff; one of her latest posts was about Facebook lists, something I never even knew existed. Too bad it's a Disqus blog, which has prevented me from commenting on it, but at least it's fun to read from time to time.
Sharon Hurley Hall's eponymous blog (by now y'all know what that word means lol) is about writing and blogging, as she's a professional writer. She doesn't write a lot but when she does write it's pretty good stuff. And it's a standard WordPress comment system.
Regina Baker's blog is also named after her, and she writes mainly about marketing, both online and offline because that's what she does as a consultant. Since I'm the world's worst marketer, I need to check in on it from time to time to learn more lessons. Standard WordPress commenting system.
Marshawn Evans is hot; she looks good too. lol She's an attorney who's become quite the celebrity by showing up on a lot of news stations, magazines, and other media appearances. She writes about media and marketing, and I have to admit I've never seen anything that's needed her legal skills on her blog. There's a lot of motivational posts as well, geared more towards women but I've found that men can get a lot from those teaching women how to empower themselves. She has two ways to comment on her blog, one is Facebook, the other one I'm not sure how to identify, which means it's not WordPress.
I know someone has to be asking "Hey, where's the dudes?" Okay, the last one of the day is for Joey Pinkney, and his blog is something a bit different than the norm. Basically what he does is interview people, mainly black authors and writers, as well as doing book reviews. His goal is to help black authors be better known; it's great to close with his blog since that was a similar quest I've had with this series. And it's a standard WordPress commenting system, although he does have the dreaded captcha on it; oh well, no one's perfect. 🙂
There you have it, the final edition of Black Web Friday. What will come now? Who knows? For awhile nothing specific, except to try to write as much as I can about things that people find interesting; at least what I hope people find interesting. Please visit these folks, give them some love, and tell them Mitch sent you; then watch them scramble around trying to figure out who Mitch is. lol
Black Web Friday – 5/18/12
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on May 18, 2012
Greetings, and welcome to the next to last installment of Black Web Friday. It's been an interesting ride and it's almost over. I hope some folks have gotten out of it what I hoped for. But when it's time to move on, then it's time to move on. With that said let's get right into it.
Evelyn Bourne writes The Productive Pen, and she writes about writing, marketing and personal development. She's been writing about these things for 3 1/2 years now and she's got a lot of great information there. It's a standard WordPress commenting system blog.
Denene Miller writes the blog My Brown Baby, and she's, in a much different way, a mommy blogger if you will, but only in the sense that she's a mother that writes a blog. She writes about parenting, entertainment and politics from a black woman's perspective, and it's really entertaining, even if I skip the parenting stuff, not having kids. She also has a few other contributors that bring a different feel to the blog, each person having their own unique voice. It's a standard WordPress commenting system blog.
Ponying off the last one, Lamar and Ronnie Tyler both write Black and Married With Kids, and most of what they write concerns raising black children in this world and looking for positive role models, as well as all the things that parents go through anyway. A post that really caught my attention in the last couple of days was their decrying the show Basketball Wives, something I'd never seen until I was changing channels the other day and stopped on for a brief moment, and thought exactly the same type of thing they're talking about. It was a horrible example of what many people think black people are, and they captured their frustration well. It's a Typepad style commenting system, which means your gravatar might not show up.
Walethia Aquil writes the blog Grace and Charm, and this isn't a blog about etiquette, but about marketing, organization, business and working together in positive ways with others. In essence it's a business blog and that's what's impressive about it. She's an entrepreneur helping others grow, and that's kind of what I try to be about as well. There's a lot of great information here if you're looking to grow your business either online or offline, so if you're looking for different types of business tips, you should check it out.

That's it for this week; one more to go!
Black Web Friday – 05/11/12
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on May 11, 2012
This is week #17 of Black Web Friday, and it's a couple of days before Mother's Day, so if you didn't already know about it or didn't remember it you now know. I'm not doing anything special with this post for that reason, but I have come to a decision about the series.
I started the series with a specific purpose, that being to help bring to the forefront the reality that there are websites and blogs written by people of color. It's been a glorious and fun journey, but in looking at things now I don't think I've been able to achieve the purpose I wanted to achieve.
What's happened is that most visitors know what's coming on Friday, and since overall it's not their cup of tea they're just skipping these posts. The initial hope had been that folks would at least take a look, see the topics black folks might be writing about, and decide if the topic was worth looking at. Instead, not only are they bypassing it, but most of the time the people and websites included here are bypassing it as well. Since there's no real way to achieve its purpose as a live event, so to speak, I think it's time to put it on hiatus.
But the hiatus isn't today. The hiatus will be May 25th, the last Friday of the month, heading into Memorial Day weekend. That means 2 more weeks after this one, unless they're suddenly an outpouring of people clamoring for more; yeah, like that's going to happen. It's been fun, but all good things must end.
With that said, let's get into it.
This is definitely something different. The blog Beyond Black And White is managed by Christelyn D. Karazin, and is more of a consortium of bloggers with a common goal. There are 5 other black women and one Asian male that write on the site, which means there are often multiple posts on the same day. The topic are pretty general; they can be fashion, politics, technology… pretty much just like every day life, with one exception. There are also lots of articles about interracial relationships and race relations in general. As I said, it's something different and I like it, so check it out. It's a Livefyre commenting system.
For once I'm highlighting a new blog, but there's a reason for it. It's called The Money Chat and it all about financial issues. Dorethia R. Conner is the owner of the blog and she has other contributors that help her out. She gets a mention because she just went the self hosted route in April after writing on Blogger for a long time, so there are a lot of older articles there that I assume she's not going to move to the new space, yet are worth checking out. Unfortunately the new blog is also a Disqus blog, so I might read but obviously won't be commenting.
Stella Anokam's eponymously named blog talks about internet marketing, something I know a lot of people love to read about. She talks a lot about blogging, getting traffic, business tips, building mailing lists, and social media. There's a lot of good stuff there and it's written concisely and well. One topic in particular that I bet a lot of you would like to check out is this post titled Profit Financially From Blogging In 9 Simple Strategic Steps, For Beginners. And it's a standard commenting system; can't beat that.
Finally today I present another black news and commentary source, Your Black Bloggers. Multiple writers comment on the topics of the day, which includes President Obama saying yesterday that he now endorses same sex marriages (about time). Let me warn you; everything here isn't necessarily warm and fuzzy, since some of the opinions and topics will be perceived as controversial. But being a little bit edgy hasn't hurt that many people, has it?
That's it for today; two more weeks to go.

One things for sure in my mind...a concrete decision either way won't be made until late August when the Vikings break training camp. I am of the opinion that his wish-washiness was a calculated ploy to avoid training camp with the Vikings this past year and with the Jets the year before that. He'll let Tarvaris and Sage battle it out in the heat of Mankato and then will decide whether or not to show up on his white stallion for the 3rd preseason game (again).

Unless he declares very soon that he is returning, I hope that he retires and stays retired. I've had enough of the annual offseason saga of whether he'll return.

The main part of the CNA Certification Texas is the State CNA certification exam. The certification exam is divided into two parts: the written exam and the skills exam. The written exam includes objective questions which have the multiple answers. This is done to evaluate your knowledge in the subjects you studied in CNA course. The second part is the practical skill test in which the applicants for CNA certification Texas have to demonstrate five skills that are chosen by the examiner. You will have already known these skills in the clinical hands-on skills learning in the CNA classes. In case you fail the CNA certification exam for CNA certification Texas, you can apply for the examination again for 3 times. But, if you fail in all three times, you will have to repeat the whole training program from the beginning in order to reappear for the training exam.
You can also apply for CNA certification Texas by the endorsement from the other states of the country. But, you will have to be certified as a CNA.
Unlike many certification processes, here in Texas you will not require to submit your GED or high school diploma. However, there are other requirements such as medical checkup or felony conviction checks that are required for CNA certification Texas. You can contact for the State Nurse Aide Registry of Texas for further information if you want to know more about CNA Certification Texas requirements.

"Syrrako - Tzoumerka" Prefecture of Ioannina Things to Do Tip by elsadran
Prefecture of Ioannina Things to Do: 26 reviews and 115 photos
Syrrako is a very impressive historical village on Tzoumerka mountains. With its twin village Kalarites they are no doubt a must if you are in the neighborhood. They are just one hour drive from Ioannina, 42 kilometers southwest, at an altitude of 1200meters. They are built on the rim of a deep ravine and is an example of traditional architecture of the area. As you are approaching you can admire both villages built entirely of stone, on each side of the ravine. Plenty of natural and man made monuments are spread in this place. Syrrako is the native place of several important men of politics and literature, such as the well known Greek author and poet Kostas Krystallis and the first Prime Minister of Greece Ioannis Kolletis. Your visit will be unforgettable as the village manages to connect the present and the past in a very harmonious way and with respect to the natural environment. No cars can get into the village which is connected to the road with a long stone staircase.
If you are a nature lover and like trekking you will find hundreds of enjoyable hikes and will see plenty of amazing things!
The best spot is the central square shaded by huge trees and having nice views.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) completed its acquisition of Amylin Pharmaceuticals, triggering a $3.2 billion initial payment from AstraZeneca to Amylin, in relation to expansion of the BMS-AstraZeneca diabetes alliance to include Amylin's portfolio of diabetes candidates.
AstraZeneca has told BMS it also intends to exercise its option to acquire specific additional governance rights of key strategic and financial decisions regarding the Amylin portfolio. AstraZeneca will pay BMS another $135 million, once the option has been exercised following antitrust and competition clearance.
Expansion of the BMS-AstraZeneca type 2 diabetes alliance, initially signed in January 2007, will cover the co-development and marketing of Amylin's Byetta® (exenatide) and extended release exenatide drug Bydureon™ for treating type 2 diabetes, as well as the latter's leptin analogue metreleptin, which is under FDA review for the treatment of lipodystrophy, and Symlin® (pramlintide acetate), an amylin analog approved in the U.S. for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients with inadequate glycemic control on mealtime insulin.
The original BMS-AstraZeneca alliance has been focused on the development of the DPP-4 inhibitor Onglyza® (saxagliptin), Kombliglyze® (saxagliptin and metformin HCL extended-release), and Forxiga® Idapagliflozin), an SGLT2 inhibitor. Onglyza is already approved in 77 countries including North America, the EU, India, Brazil, and China. Forxiga received a positive opinion from the European Commission's CHMP in April.

Rain clouds parted just in time for the start of the Herkimer County Fair's opening ceremonies on Tuesday, where organizers remembered past board members and asked visitors to remember to help others.
Organizers were able to keep the event outdoors at the Memorial Park after a heavy rainfall lifted on Tuesday afternoon.
An invocation was given by Pastor Mark Andersen, after the raising of the American flag and a singing of the national anthem by Megan Breit, of Frankfort.
"This year has been a difficult one for Herkimer County," said Andersen, of the Herkimer Reformed Church. "We pray that this will be a time of celebration and relief, joy, peace and excitement for the people of Herkimer County."
Andersen also prayed for the presenters to do their best, for the safety of the visitors and "that all who enter through here may experience joy."
Gerry Elthorp, treasurer of the fair's Board of Directors, said they are having a food drive for this year's fair, something other county fairs across the country started before severe flooding hit the area. "The table is set up in the commercial building. We hope to see it piled high," she said. "We desperately need it after the flooding in July."
Organizers remembered past board members - Herm Anderson, Earl Alexander and Bill Ortlieb - by placing a rose at the fair's memorial.
"As Mr. Andersen said, this was a bad year. Not only for Herkimer County, but for the Herkimer County Fair, as well," said Cheryl Ortlieb, after placing a rose for her husband, Bill Ortlieb. "Those three were the three musketeers. Those three were always together and they are all here in spirit."
Organizers also took time to recognize the support from the village of Frankfort over the years. Police Chief Ron Petrie accepted a plaque on behalf of the village. Organizers had planned to give it to the village during its 150th anniversary celebration, but the event was postponed due to the flooding.
Elthorp mentioned the new sheep building that was dedicated to its sponsor, "Call 811." She said the building will keep the sheep in a separate area from the goats.
Elthorp also talked about a new board at the fair that lists all of its sponsors.
"Make sure you check out the new sponsor board," said Dick Elthorp, president of the Board of Directors. "Without them, we wouldn't have the entertainment or the quality that we have here at the fair."
The fair kicked off with its beauty pageants Tuesday night, followed by a fireworks display scheduled for 10:30 p.m.
Children's Day will be part of Wednesday's events, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., which means children ages 11 and younger will be admitted for free. Rides open at noon. There will also be a youth dairy show, a Central New York Garden Tractor Pull and Shania Twin will perform at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m.

Serving websites as unique users off a single server
Made to Serve
Creating secure websites with their own privileges on a single server.
Most virtualization now focuses on the server level. This approach makes a lot of sense because you can use whatever applications you want and pretty much any operating system, and you don't have to worry about whether or not the applications will behave appropriately. The problem for virtualizing most services is that the protocols (SSH, FTP, etc.) are stateful, and very few are designed with load balancing and failover specifically in mind. Sharing state between servers is a non-trivial problem; sharing the state is simple, but do you take action before or after you have confirmed that the state was shared?

Fur-get lullabies. What all parents of young babies knead is a kitty like this one.
This magically calming feline helps this tired baby drift to sleep like no lullaby we've ever heard. As the baby's eyes begin to close, the cat starts kneading the child's blanket, and as if a graceful fairy were sprinkling pixie dust, sweet slumber is achieved.
For centuries, parents have tried fancy sleep methods, baby products or books to help their children locate the sandman. But none of them are as effective as this dream weaver.
After kitty's work is done, the cat looks at the camera as if to say, "Pfft. That was easy."

Marcella, Rita; Lockerbie, Hayley; Cameron, Ros The concept of 'impact' in academia is a focus of not only research councils but also of nationwide institutional research evaluations. In the UK, it is necessary for academics and their institutions to not only conduct research which has real impact, but to provide evidence of impact beyond academic bibliometrics. This includes evidence of impact on industry, government, wider communities and beyond (REF 2011). In Australia, the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) requirements for the 2015 reporting indicate research outputs, income, and both applied and esteem measures, are to be used to assess the excellence of research activity (Australian Research Council 2014). In addition the Australian Research Council (ARC) has piloted a new tool, the Excellence in Innovation for Australia (EIA) as a potential companion exercise alongside ERA to measure impact. This paper provides an overview of impact definitions in the UK and Australia, drawing on guidance from research councils and the UK's Research Excellence Framework (REF). The research assessment environments in both countries are also described. The challenges of research assessment and the introduction of impact into this are discussed. The analysis of four impact case studies, published by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) from the UK, is presented and discussed, and one author offers personal reflections into the construction of an impact case study for REF 2015. The paper ends with discussions on best practice, identified through critical examination of existing frameworks and case studies, on how to incorporate impact into research design ab initio, including anticipated and unanticipated impacts, as well as the collection of evidence to demonstrate these. At a time when the importance of impact is growing in the demonstration of institutional and personal research excellence and esteem, the paper contributes to an area of very significant dialogue and reflection for the research community, of value to both early career and senior researchers. 2015-06-01T00:00:00Z Critical incident technique as a tool for gathering data as part of a qualitative study of information seeking behaviour. Marcella, Rita Lockerbie, Hayley Baxter, Graeme http://hdl.handle.net/10059/1286 2015-09-08T21:00:13Z 2013-07-01T00:00:00Z Critical incident technique as a tool for gathering data as part of a qualitative study of information seeking behaviour. Marcella, Rita; Lockerbie, Hayley; Baxter, Graeme Since devised by Flanagan in 1954 as a tool to explore what people do to achieve an organisational aim, the critical incident technique (CIT) has been used in various disciplines as a method of understanding human behaviour. This paper provides an overview of the use of CIT in the specific field of information behaviour, both in large-scale quantitative studies designed to assess the quality and impact of library and information systems and services, and in more qualitative research examining the information needs and use of particular professions or occupational groups, or of particular societal or community groups. It highlights the inconsistent application of CIT in academic research, and the quantitative versus qualitative tension that exists in discussions of the use of CIT as a data collection tool. The paper also discusses the use of CIT by the authors in a study of the information seeking behaviour of oil and gas professionals in a health and safety context, considering that project in relation to Flanagan's five main steps in the CIT process, and in terms of the benefits and limitations of the technique identified by Flanagan and by other commentators. The authors believe that CIT has particular advantages in the study of information behaviour as a method of illuminating the ways in which the context of information need impacts on information behaviour, how participants feel, and in particular in identifying positive and negative behaviours in information seeking and use. The authors also argue that CIT must be used in a thoughtful manner and in a full recognition of its weaknesses in the design of future research. 2013-07-01T00:00:00Z How nurses behave online?

Kostagiolas, Petros A.; Martzoukou, Konstantina; Intas, G.; Niakas, Dimitris Registered nurses constitute the largest group of healthcare professionals with a rather distinctive and crucial role in healthcare services provision. For keeping up with their professional advances and follow the rapid and multifaceted scientific advances of medical practices they constantly require high quality of information. Internet and the online information resources play an important role towards the satisfaction of continual online information needs of nurses. This paper aims to investigate the online information needs of nurses and their internet seeking behaviour. Moreover, their perceptions for the role of information in nursing profession are studied. A survey informed by the Wilson's macro-model for information seeking behaviour is developed and included 87 registered nurses working at a public hospital. Data analysis involves descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests of correlation and differences between groups. 2014-10-01T00:00:00Z Visual perception of content-prioritised sign language video quality.

Muir, Laura J.; Richardson, I. E. G.; Hamilton, K. Video communication systems currently provide poor quality and performance for deaf people using sign language, particularly at low bit rates. Our previous work, involving eye movement tracking experiments and analysis of visual attention mechanisms for sign language, demonstrated a consistent characteristic response which could be exploited to enable optimisation of video coding systems performance by prioritising content for deaf users. This paper describes an experiment designed to test the perceived quality of selectively prioritised video for sign language communication. A series of selectively degraded video clips was shown to individual deaf viewers. Participants subjectively rated the quality of the modified video on a Degradation Category Rating (DCR) scale adapted for sign language users. The results demonstrate the potential to develop content-prioritised coding schemes, based on viewing behaviour, which can reduce bandwidth requirements and provide best quality for the needs of the user. We propose selective quantisation to reduce compression in visually important regions of video images, which require spatial detail for small slow motion detection, and increased compression of regions regarded in peripheral vision where large rapid movements occur in sign language communication. 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z
