Walker kind of screwed himself on this issue when he was seen with his son who registered at the polls...same day!Hide replies
So he follows the law that exists and he 'screwed' himself? interesting pont of view; talk about screwed up
How is it "screwing himself" when all he did was follow the law currently in effect? I'm sure if there wasn't same-day registration he would have had his son register prior to election day.
Same day registration . . .Just like every other citizen in Milwaukee "who follows the law." Or is ok to same day register as long as you are voting for a GOP candidate?
This boondoggle was political from the very start!
And Walker didn't screw himself. But he yet again presented himself as a hypocrite!
well walker sure did prove the value of same day registration now didn't he?
Your kidding Scott Walkers son registered same day??? OMG someone call Chisom..... lol @Rachel
""There is no way I'm signing a bill that costs that kind of money," Walker told reporters."
While I'm *certainly* happy to hear him say that about same-day registration, how much was the "Voter ID" law going to cost? How much DID it cost to be implemented to the extent is was and has been?Hide replies
Yeah, it's super expensive to have a poll worker look at someone's ID on Election Day.
"Yeah, it's super expensive to have a poll worker look at someone's ID on Election Day."
Well, besides the cost of making the IDs available to those who asked for them, in anticipation of having the ID part of "Voter ID" in effect for a 'big' election, the clerk's office in Madison did a 'mock' election with city workers and volunteers to see how the process would go. And they found that "hav[ing] a poll worker look at someone's ID on Election Day" was causing it to take on average two minutes per voter to get through the process of getting out and showing ID, signing the book, putting away ID, etc. During a big election, even if you have two sets of poll books and two lines to process voters, you can have an average of one voter per minute walking through the door.
One voter per minute, and two minutes to process that voter means you have a BIG problem. The result is you either have HUGE lines, or you spend a bunch more money to hire more poll workers and/or set up more polling locations.
I don't know about "super expensive", but yeah, there is a significant cost to "hav[ing] a poll worker look at someone's ID on Election Day".
that should be "...one voter per set of books per minute..."
The governor budgeted $6 million to implement Voter ID, and $4 million in ongoing annual costs.
Too costly, politically.
LOL! So after getting caught using same day registration with his own son, and in light of the fact that same day registration is guaranteed under Federal law anyway, NOW Scooter is opposed to ending it?
And no new kitchen for Tonette either? Poor, poor Scotty. That's what happens when you're on the Naughty List!Hide replies
You are completely wrong with all your points. Nice...
atomic has no clue as to the facts, yet spills excrements all over the place
Other than maybe some hyperbole about "Tonette's kitchen", what did he get wrong?
I love how liberals equate being on the "Naughty List" to saving the Wisconsin taxpayers money.
Where is same day registration guaranteed Robert?
Motor Voter?
People who move but to an address within the same ward would be still be allowed to same-day register. In a 'student area' that could be a significant number of voters and registrations.
(I'm not sure what the rule would be for a polling place that services two wards: that is, a voter moves from ward #1 into ward #2, with both ward #1 and ward #2 voting at the same location; under 'motor-voter' can that person still same-day register, or is he/she out-of-luck?)
@Atomic; It's alright to be a Walker supporter! You just have to let go of all that irrational hatred!
atomic has good points and valid facts...
Your kidding Scott Walkers son registered same day??? OMG someone call Chisom..... lol @Atomic
Voter suppression has a price tag? Good!Hide replies
I would have to commend Walker on this, if he follows through.
Well this proves that Walker can't be wrong on every decision. Good for him. Now let's start thinking about to work with IL and get that Amtrak running more quickly and more frequently.
The Walker Derangement Syndrome crowd will now be forced to come out with some way to attack him, even though they agree with this decision.
It should be fairly humorous to watch.Hide replies
Don't worry, there's always the next "John Doe" arrest, plea deal, immunity grant, etc.
Well that didn't take long...robertearle's case of WDS is so bad that he couldn't help himself. Hatred just completely overcomes some folks to the point of completely screwing up their judement
There was an idiot last weekend taking pot shots at Walker in a blog about Beliema leaving Wisconsin...It doesn't matter what the venue; these morons will drone on forever!
what you walker lovers don't understand is walker has not proven himself trustworthy, in any sense, to many people.
Glad to see common sense prevailed.Hide replies
You give him too much credit.. He needs "liberal points" on something or he will political toast soon...
Walker listened. Democracy spoke. Good job everyone.Hide replies
Yes! A governor that's doing a great job!
Great is an understatement. Best Gov Wisconsin ever had!
you both have your heads in the sand.

It seems ridiculous to open new topic for the same problem, but... forum rules.
It seems also, that the new wp 3.7.1 has problems with the media uploads. The last topics on the forum are realted to the same problem.
Here we go with my one:
wp-3.7.1(installed and reinstalled)
Theme - 2013
Plugins-only "Ozh' Admin Drop Down Menu"
Directories wp-content, uploads, 2013,11 have permission as following: 755,755,755,755 and images - 644
I have checked and unchecked the Settings-Media-"Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders" ( according to an other user this worked for her).
What else I have o do in order to upload images to Media Library and to be able to see them?
Thank you very much for your help!

Heart Disease Health Center
Help for Failing Hearts
Once diagnosed, heart failure is treatable.
"We use four drugs in combination to ease symptoms, slow the progression of disease, and extend the lives of 80% of heart failure patients," Packer says.
This drug cocktail includes Digoxin to increase the heart's pumping action; diuretics, or water pills, to help the body eliminate excess salt and water; ACE inhibitors to expand blood vessels, allow blood to flow more easily, and make the heart work more efficiently; and beta-blockers to improve the function of the heart's left ventricle. Beta-blockers also block a natural stress hormone capable of damaging the heart. Blocking this hormone gives the heart a chance to recover and helps prevent continued injury.
Though 80% of people with heart failure should be taking beta-blockers, Packer says that only 15-20% are currently taking them.
Heart bypass surgery also can improve heart function in some people by re-routing blood flow around blockages. In addition, doctors can replace leaky valves in people whose heart failure is caused by a heart valve defect.
"If you are the right candidate, heart transplantation surgery may also be an option," says Elias Iliadis, MD, co-director of the interventional fellowship program at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa.
And many new drugs, devices, and surgical techniques are being developed, Packer tells WebMD.
A new class of drugs called endothelian antagonists blocks a specific stress hormone called endothelian, which can damage the heart. Another group of drugs called vasopeptidase inhibitors inhibit other hormones that can wreak havoc on the heart muscle.
Also in development are implantable devices that look like gun holsters. These devices keep the heart pumping at a normal pace, Iliadis explains.
But Packer warns against becoming too exited about these new, experimental options. "We really need to be very careful about becoming too optimistic or pessimistic about each of these," he says.
Nonetheless, heart failure treatment has clearly come a long way.
At one point in time, doctors just treated heart failure with diuretics to get rid of the excess salt and fluid, explains Kris Vijay, MD, the director of heart failure program and the director of clinical research at Arizona Heart Institute in Phoenix.

Two SSIDs on one router
I understand some routers allow you to setup multiple SSIDs. Do you need to make any special arrangements (besides creating the different security congiruations on the router software)?
Do you have to assign these SSIDs to different channels on the router? If you dont, does this make them less secure?
Last thing I want to do is set up a less secure wireless network!

The Kansas Supreme Court has dismissed a series of arrest warrants for a rape suspect known only by his DNA.
In its decision Friday, the court said the warrants against
death-row inmate Douglas Belt for seven rapes between 1989 and 1994 were not specific enough to meet legal standards.
But prosecutors stressed that the court largely upheld the
legality of so-called ``John Doe'' warrants.
That's when prosecutors don't know a suspect's name but wish to preserve the five-year statute of limitations for charging someone in a rape case by charging their DNA.
One of the seven warrants was filed in 1991 in McPherson County
and was the first in the nation to attempt to charge an unknown
suspect through his DNA.
The Supreme Court ruled Friday that the warrant was invalid
because it didn't fully detail the DNA profile's makeup.

Amazon.com Review
Now, under suspicion for both arson and the reclusive actress's murder, Nina can only hope to prove someone else guilty of these crimes. Perhaps the guy who assaulted her, or the George Clooney-lookalike she spotted at Doubleday's place right before the blaze, or the late star's obsequious chauffeur, who may know more about his employer's assets than her accountant did. Not above reproach, either, is Doubleday's principal heir, a previously luckless niece who isn't as immune to avarice as Nina had supposed. With her black dye job and nose stud, and a chip on her shoulder the size of Duluth--the result of an abusive childhood and her misadventures in two previous novels, Shooting Elvis and Killing Paparazzi--Nina Zero isn't the warmest or most well-adjusted fictional protagonist around. ("I'm running from a lot of things," she tells her parole officer. "But I'm not fast enough. Things are catching up.") Yet she's persistent, and with some help from a toothless Rottweiler, a resourceful tabloid reporter, and an unconventional father figure in the form of a retired cop, she just might figure out who did in the "miserable" Doubleday (if she's dead at all), without winding up either back in the slammer or crushed inside a tumbling trailer home.
Less sharp-edged than Killing Paparazzi, Burning Garbo is as much a cleverly constructed mystery as it is a continuation of Nina Zero's search for self-identity. Although the case here is solved with somewhat dubious brilliance, and an extended foray into L.A.'s jail system distracts from the plot's arc, Nina's brassy irreverence and Eversz's taste for savaging the more eccentric elements of Southern California culture make a combustible storytelling combination. --J.

The festival programme will be announced this evening, but
festival public relations team member Sam White confirmed
yesterday Mr Hersh would be attending, along with New Zealand
investigative journalist Nicky Hager.
Mr Hersh writes for New Yorker magazine on military and
security matters, and according to biographical material won
a Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for exposing the My Lai massacre -
where American troops killed up to 504 unarmed South
Vietnamese civilians in March 1968.
He also reported on the mistreatment of Iraqi detainees by
American military police at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad in
Mr White said it was a ''coup'' to have Mr Hersh - ''a hard
hitter'' - take part in its Aspiring Conversations event
which runs alongside the artistic aspects of the festival.
''It just adds another dimension to an arts festival but the
Aspiring Conversations is usually one of the highlights.''
Festival director Philip Tremewan described Mr Hersh as
''probably the foremost investigative journalist in the
''He can talk about policies in areas that are of deep
interest to us all.''

I've been using Cleaner Gallery over a year with no problems and very good results.
Yesterday, I noticed a really big problem. No matter what settings I change, the file being linked to by my jQuery lightbox (Slimbox) is always the full size version. I'm not sure if it's being caused by Cleaner Gallery or the WordPress Media Uploader.
Here's what I've discovered:
Exhibit A. Cleaner Gallery lists all custom image sizes I've created using the add_image_size() function. No matter which size I choose for the file being linked to, the full size image is always being displayed.
Exhibit B. Standard WordPress galleries have the same issue, unless the file URL is explicitly changed in the media uploader file URL field.
Exhibit C. The file URL field in the WordPress media uploader doesn't retain changes made to that field. I tried specifying one of my default sizes - xxx-800x600.jpg ("Large" in this case), then saving. As soon as I saved, the field reverts back to the full size image.
Apparently, this has been a bug with the media uploader for some time. The issue is listed in WordPress trac here: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13429
Sergey Biryukov uploaded a patch which fixed the Media Upload "Save" issue. If anyone's listening, this patch really needs to get implemented in core soon!
Exhibit C. The default WordPress galleries work fine after I change the file url field. Cleaner Gallery does not.
I hate to point at problems, but it seems like Cleaner Gallery has a bug.. Justin Tadlock codes some really great plugins (and themes) so I'm a bit surprised. But these things have been known to happen. ;)
Has anyone else seen this? It does say Cleaner Gallery is compatible up to 3.0.1, I'm using 3.0.5 on all sites affected.

Powers of attorney are not limited to the health care realm. Financial powers of attorney can be invaluable to a person dealing with cancer. If a patient doesn't have the energy, desire or ability to deal with financial matters, this document would allow someone else to do it for him/her. An agent can be named to have as many or as few responsibilities to handle financial matters as the patient sees fit. But, that agent needs to be able to do the job properly and honestly, so as not to abuse the money entrusted to him or her.
This kind of document is not just for those who are well-off and may have complex financial matters. For example, we have one client of very limited income who didn't want a financial power of attorney assigned. He subsequently lost (mental?) competence due to brain damage, and now his girlfriend and daughter are competing with each other to be the representative payee of his Social Security benefits. His daughter was somehow able to get his credit union to open a joint account with him. Whoever did the paperwork at the credit union clearly did not have a conversation with the man, or else he/she would have realized that the man is unable to make competent decisions. Will the daughter spend his money wisely? We don't know yet, but a financial power of attorney could have assured that the person of his choice was put in charge.
Legal requirements for this kind of document vary from state to state. Talk with an attorney experienced in estate planning matters to learn more. The American Cancer Society has a tool that can help you find local organizations that offer free or low cost legal services to cancer patients. Search for "assistance" in your area and look under assistance-legal.

Germany Gives Brazil Das Boot With 7-1 Win, Enters World Cup Final
Update at 6:08 p.m. ET
Germany steamrolled over host Brazil 7-1 on Tuesday in their semifinal game to enter the final of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Five of Germany's goals came in the first half.
Thomas Muller scored in the 11th minute, Toni Kroos scored in the 24th and 26th minutes, Miroslav Klose and Sami Khedira scored in the 23rd and 29th minutes, respectively, and Andre Schurrle in the 69th and 79th minutes.
Oscar scored Brazil's consolation goal in the 90th minute.
Klose's goal was his 16th at the World Cup, as he overtook Brazil's Ronaldo to become the all-time highest scorer in the tournament.
ESPN says this is only the second time in World Cup history that a team has scored five goals in the first 30 minutes of a game. The last time that happened was the Yugoslavia-Zaire matchup in 1974.
Brazil, which was without star striker Neymar, was in shambles. Neymar fractured a vertebra in the team's quarterfinal win over Colombia. Also missing was captain Thiago Silva, who was suspended for accumulating too many yellow cards.
So, how big a deal was the result? ESPN's Stats and Info team has compiled a list of tweets about this game. We'll list some of them:
#GER 7, #BRA 1... Today's score was the worst loss by a host country in #WorldCup history, doubling the previous record margin. #BRAvsGER— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) July 8, 2014
#BRA entered today undefeated in 62-straight competitive home games since 1975 (43-0-19). #BRAvsGER— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) July 8, 2014
6-0 #GER... Entering today, no #WorldCup host nation had ever lost by 4 goals. #BRAvsGER— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) July 8, 2014
#GER is the first team to score 6 goals against #BRA in an official match since 1940. #BRAvsGER— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) July 8, 2014
The mood in Brazil, as you might imagine, is bleak. Here's what NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro told our Newscast unit:
"I cannot even overestimate the absolute despair here among Brazil's fans. One fan told me this is the worst game that he's ever witnessed Brazil play in his entire life. Others are using words like 'tragedy.' It really is a complete blow to Brazil."
Earlier, watching the game at a bar, she tweeted:

Now!Board is a set of portable tools that work with any
projector and computer to turn any flat surface into an
interactive whiteboard.
Quality and Effectiveness: With just a tiny camera (4"
x 3.5" x 1.25") that connects to any Mac or PC computer,
the now!Board turns any surface into an interactive
whiteboard. The now!Board comes with a USB camera, stylus, wand,
software, user manual and quick-start guide, USB cable, all packed
into a convenient and remarkably small carry case. The camera is
designed to sit on any flat surface, or be ceiling-mounted, and its IR
sensor tracks the movement of the stylus or wand. This means that
the camera must have a clear view of the stylus or wand at all times,
and that infrared devices, halogen lighting or low-hanging fixtures
may interfere with the camera's function. The stylus must be used
on a smooth, non-marking surface and should not be used on walls
or painted surfaces; the wand can be used on almost any surface, and
does not even need to touch the surface to interact with the software.
The now!Board can either display a work
area or become invisible, which enables the
user to write, draw, erase and type with an onscreen
keyboard on any program or Web site.
Unlike other interactive whiteboard programs,
however, there are currently no shape tools, no
built-in images or lessons. There are pen tools,
options for colors and thicknesses of the pens,
highlighter, and eraser for interacting with a
page. Edited screens can be
saved, or printed for future
Ease of Use: Now!Board
can be used with a projector
on table, ceiling-mounted or
with a TV/Monitor, so it can be set up virtually anywhere that a computer and projector can be set up.
After setting up the projector between 5 and 11 feet from the display
surface, (if using only the stylus, the projector can be up to 14 feet
away) and powering up the computer and projector, the user plugs
the now!Board camera into the computer with a supplied USB cord,
and opens the now!Board software. The camera needs to sit about
12 inches behind the projector, but the display can be at any height,
so that students can reach and interact easily. Each time the camera
is connected or moved, it must be aligned, which can be problematic
if it is not in a secure position. Alignment is quick, and the program
instructs the user step by step through the process, and then
it is ready to go.
Creative Use of Technology: While it
does not yet have all of the images,
tools and lessons bundled into the
software, the ability to interact
with any program or Web site
in almost any environment
is a great advantage for any
teacher who cannot add an
interactive board to their
room. It is much less
expensive than a traditional
interactive board, and can
easily be transported in its
handy carrying case.
• Cost: The now!Board costs significantly less than other interactive board
• Versatility: Now!Board interactive technology can be used with existing
technology, on almost any surface, to make any software, website or
document more engaging and participatory.
• Ease of use: Portable, simple to set up and to learn, the now!Board can fit into
virtually any learning environment, and can be moved quickly and easily.

Restart the Heart Before You Depart
In December the Lakeland Fire Department (LFD) adopted and trained on how to use a new pediatric emergency response system in the field for better results when treating children, the Handtevy System. The Handtevy is a pediatric resuscitation system that combines customization, consultation, education and organization to empower healthcare providers to rapidly and accurately respond to any pediatric call with ease. The Handtevy is a customized and age-based system that results in fewer medical errors, increased patient safety and renewed provider confidence.
This week the department launched an internal campaign on the Handtevy system in order to better communicate to its first responders how it is designed to work in the field.
This effort is most appropriate now that we have entered the summer months in Florida which have proven to be a particularly vulnerable time for children, with an increased amount of drownings.
Although the video is targeted towards EMTs and Paramedics at the department, and not the public, LFD shares this to show how the department goes the extra mile to better serve you. The campaign was an idea of the firefighter paramedics featured in the video and the Rescue Chief. It's also a great example of an empowered workforce constantly seeking to do things better.
Better systems, lead to better outcomes. This is just another example of how the Lakeland Fire Department is always seeking ways to improve, and the high level of dedication LFD has to helping those in need.
LFD hopes the video can also serve as a resource to other first responders using the Handtevy System.

After nearly 100 years of waiting, the Lakeland Fire Departments Centennial Celebration is less than 100 days away! The Lakeland Fire Department became a career fire department (previously a volunteer force) on August 16, 1916.
To mark the significance of this achievement and as a way of sharing that pride with the Lakeland community that makes it all possible, the department will be celebrating in several cost effective ways throughout 2016 in honor of its centennial. Centennial Celebration items include:
§ Commemorative centennial badges for emergency response personnel (paid for entirely out of pocket by the individual firefighters). The badges capture the department's rich history with patriotic flair (photo attached);
§ Custom decals for all apparatus to highlight that LFD is proud to be "Celebrating 100 years of Service". These will be on apparatus through August of 2017;
§ Commemorative flags at all stations to highlight the centennial;
§ The restoration of Leaping Lena, the department's original 1938 Pirsch Fire Truck to be used at public events like the Lakeland Christmas Parade. Restoration has been ongoing for a year;
§ A centennial celebration for the entire community at Fire Station 1 on August 13, 2016. It will be a free and public event to educate the community on the department's past and present as well as fire safety.
Another one of those ways the department is celebrating is through a 100 Day Centennial Countdown Campaign on Facebook, which began on Monday, May 9, 2016. LFD shares a picture a day for 100 days to countdown to the centennial anniversary date. The pictures are from the department's past and present.
This is one of the many small ways we're celebrating as the day gets closer and will culminate with a big community celebration planned for August. You can see the daily picture as well as previously posted pictures on the department's Facebook page accessible here.
The Lakeland Fire Department (LFD) is pleased to announce that the ten new firefighters that began duty on Monday, April 4, 2016 have successfully completed their three-week orientation program. The new hires are filling vacancies from recent retirements of longtime LFD veterans and openings left as a result of internal promotions.
The new firefighters experienced the department's three-week orientation program at the Lakeland Fire Department's Training Center located at 901 Granada Street. Although all the new hires are certified firefighters, this training course is designed to teach the new firefighters how to do things the "Lakeland" way. They review a full spectrum of practical skills they need to perform on the job as well as emergency medical training before being released into the field.
The hiring process was selective because of the large pool of applicants. Another opportunity for aspiring firefighters will be available later this year when the department will look to hire additional firefighters to fill retirements anticipated later in the year.
"The selection process was difficult because there were many qualified candidates to choose from. Our hiring committee is confident that it selected the best available candidates and it's comforting to know that the new rookies joining our ranks are highly skilled and qualified to continue providing the high quality emergency services our department is known for." said Training Chief John Almskog, coordinator of the hiring effort and leader of the department's three week orientation program.
Of the ten new hires, one is a certified paramedics while the other nine are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs); although the nine EMTs will have the opportunity to pursue paramedic training once on the job.
A majority of the new hires hail from central Florida and are graduates of area fire academies like the Ridge Career Center Fire Academy and Hillsborough Community College Fire Academy.
You can see photos taken from all three weeks here.
Every year, between the months of January and May, several community organizations select a Firefighter and Emergency Medical Responder of the Year to honor for heroic efforts in the field. The most prominent of the awards being those of the President's Roundtable, a consortium of several community groups like Rotary, Lion's Club, and Kiwanis that select emergency responder who have done something above and beyond in the field that required true heroism above the call of duty.
The Lakeland Fire Department is very proud to have two of its Firefighters honored at the event. Firefighter/ Paramedic Cody Ritenour and Firefighter/Paramedic Alvin Catholic for Firefighter of the Year, respectively.
This is a great honor and very well deserved. The incidents that led to their nomination and awards are outlined in the narratives below.
Cody Ritenour:
"On February 15th, 2015 at approximately 9 AM, an unfortunate head-on collision took place in Osceola County on State Road 60. Cody Ritenour, a Lakeland Fire Department (LFD) Firefighter and Paramedic was several vehicles behind the incident when it occurred, while traveling home after completing his shift.
Upon noticing there was commotion up ahead, Cody made his way to the accident scene and found that bystanders had pulled a four year old girl and a six year old boy from one of the involved vehicles; it was quickly filling with smoke from an engine compartment fire. The driver of the vehicle was entrapped and was unresponsive. The fire was spreading quickly and with no way to put it out, Cody decided to instead attempt to get the victim out. He was unable to open the front doors without extrication equipment due to the severity of the crash. He made access into the back seat of the vehicle where he tried to free the entangled victim, yet was unsuccessful. The flames overcame the firewall and entered into the interior of the vehicle where the heat and smoke forced Cody to retreat.
Unable to continue helping the driver, Cody applied his training and experience in the field and turned his attention to the young children involved. He noticed that the four year old girl was unresponsive but was breathing and had a pulse and that the six year old had suffered serious injuries but was alert. The driver of the other vehicle had minor injuries and was ambulatory. Cody sprang into action by calling 9-1-1, identified himself, and gave an accurate on scene report requesting the appropriate units to be dispatched including a fire suppression unit, Emergency Medical Services, police, and that two helicopters be put on standby for pediatric trauma alerts.
Cody continued patient care after hanging up with the emergency operators by accessing the children's vitals and listening to lung sounds with his personal stethoscope until further support could arrive. Cody directed several bystanders to assist him with the children until fire and EMS crews arrived. Once they arrived, Cody again identified himself and gave them the details of the scene. Cody assisted EMS with patient care and packaging the children for transport. A landing zone was established by crews on scene and two helicopters landed on State Road 60 to fly the children to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children for Trauma Care in Orlando.
We cannot express enough how incredibly proud we are of Firefighter Ritenour. Not only did he risk his own life by attempting to save the driver of the accident from a burning vehicle, but he also put his training to work and took command of the scene. Cody triaged the victims and was able to assemble the necessary resources to give the remaining victims the care they needed and a fighting chance at survival.
Cody is a young man with less than two years of practical fire and medical training however he showed poise and composure beyond his years. At the time this recommendation was written it is unknown what the outcome of the children's injuries were or what the future holds for them but we are certain that they have a better chance of recovery due to the actions taken by Cody Ritenour on that day." - Lieutenant Joseph Delegge
Alvin Catholic:
"On December 13th, 2015 at 1am, Alvin responded to a structure fire on LFD Engine 21 with the report of a person being trapped in the apartment. Upon arrival there was a confirmation of a person that was on the floor in the apartment and was unable to exit the structure on her own. Alvin pulled an 1 ¾ attack line to the door of the apartment and then made entry into the home. Inside of the home, Alvin encountered heavy smoke, heat, and had no visibility. Alvin was able to locate the victim in the living area near the hallway of the residence. After locating the victim, Alvin reassured her and kept her calm, event though she was initially combative. The victim was pulled from the home and delivered to emergency medical crews for treatment. The victim was able to be treated on scene and released. Alvin then continued with his firefighting actions and was able to extinguish the fire remaining in the structure. Alvin's decisive and quick actions brought a quick resolution resulting in the saving of the woman's life." – Lieutenant Chris Farina
Congratulations to both firefighters. They are a shining example of the heroism of all of LFD's emergency responders who serve Lakeland selflessly every day.
Firefighter / Paramedic Cody Ritenour
Firefighter / Paramedic Alvin Catholic
The Lakeland Fire Department's (LFD) Fire Safety Management division recently underwent some changes when it announced the retirement of Fire Marshal, Alfred "Frank" Bass after 29 years of service. Fire Marshal Bass joined the department in 1987 as a firefighter and went on to become a Fire Inspector and Investigator in 1994 before promoting to Fire Marshal in 2007. The position of Fire Marshal is an important one at LFD, as it is an integral part of the department's Fire Administration and Leadership Team.
A ceremony was held on Friday, March 11, 2016 at Fire Station 1 to wish Fire Marshal Bass well on his retirement and to thank him for his many years of service to the people of Lakeland.
The department also recently appointed a new Fire Marshal, Cheryl Edwards. Her promotion was marked by a ceremony held on March 14 at Fire Station 1.
This was an exciting and historic announcement for the Lakeland Fire Department, as Cheryl Edwards will be the department's first female Fire Marshal and member of the Leadership Team in its 100 year history as a career fire department. Cheryl joined the department in 1994 as the Public Education and Information Officer. She has since then served as Fire Inspector and Investigator, which she promoted to in 2008, and has served in the position until her most recent promotion to Fire Marshal.
Out of its 150 Emergency Response Personnel, 68 of the Lakeland Fire Departments responders are Firefighter / Paramedics. Eight recent paramedic school graduates, that have tested and become officially certified to practice, are undergoing new paramedic orientation throughout March. The training will last 3 weeks and will conclude on March 27th.
This training includes 116 hours of didactic, video and scenario based training, exceeds requirements set forth by the Florida Department of Health's re-certification standards, exceeds Advanced Airway training requirements from the Office of Medical Direction and makes LFD's Firefighter / Paramedics the most highly trained force of emergency responders in Polk County.
This translates to a better quality of medical care in in Lakeland. To keep up with the high standards the department sets for its emergency medical responders and to meet state and county requirement, LFD's Medical Rescue division also undertakes annual Paramedic Training as well.
Training will take place throughout March so photos will regularly be added to the department's facebook album. To view click here.
The Handtevy is a revolutionary pediatric resuscitation system that combines customization, consultation, education and organization to empower healthcare providers to rapidly and accurately respond to any pediatric call with ease. The Handtevy is the first-of-its-kind customized and age-based system that results in fewer medical errors, increased patient safety and renewed provider confidence.
The award winning system will prepares emergency responders for one of the most anxiety provoking events in healthcare, the pediatric code. The Handtevy is a first-of-its-kind hybrid pediatric resuscitation system that uses both age and length as options to initiate care. Age based resuscitation has the distinct advantage of allowing early determination of critical information prior to arrival on scene. Rather than using confusing formulas to first determine a child's weight, the Handtevy System allows health care providers to quickly determine volumes already pre-calculated and specific to their department's protocol. The ultimate goal is to begin treatment considerations prior to contact with the child where every second counts.
Firefighter / Paramedics at LFD received the raining in house from certified instructors who are also paramedics at the department.
This training is one of many that Paramedics at LFD receive throughout the year. It is an example of how the department emergency responders work smarter for better outcomes in Lakeland. What matters most is saving lives, and the department takes that responsibility very seriously.
Firefighter/Paramedic Colin Leidy was awarded the Lakeland Fire Department's Life Saving Award for his actions in the field that saved the life of a patient. He provided life saving measures in a very distressing situation in December 2015 and as a result the patient he saved was able to visit Fire Station 4 in person to thank him and fellow firefighters for their quick response and efforts that saved her life.
Congratulations to Firefighter Colin Liedy.
(Details of the incident withheld to protect the patient's privacy)
His biography shares: "Andy Hawks has been a valued member of the Lakeland Fire Department since May 2007, when he joined the department as a firefighter.
Andy hails from Skaneateles (Pronounced skɪniˈætləs), New York where he graduated from Skaneateles High School. He has since gone on to receive an Associate's Degree in Nursing from Polk State College. Andy is not only a firefighter but also a skilled Paramedic at the department. Additionally, he is involved in ancillary teams at the department and serves as an Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) firefighter.
Andy is highly esteemed at the department because of his ability, dedication, and drive. He is nearly finished with his Fire Officer 1 course of study and shares that he intends to continue on his current trajectory of career advancement and hopes to one day serve as an officer.
His work at the department keeps him busy but when not on duty, Andy enjoys spending time with his family and watching his son stay active in sports. He also enjoys concerts and staying in shape with CrossFit.
Andy is joined today by his lovely family; his wife, Jessica and son, Sawyer. The family man that he is, Andy candidly shares "I would not be here today if it wasn't for the desire to give my family everything I can. They are the sole reason I push myself to be better in all I do in life." "
Congratulations to Andy on his well-deserved promotion to Driver Engineer. The role of Drive Engineer comes with immense responsibility and the Lakeland Fire Department is confident that Andy will excel in his new capacity.

The history of ARCO is really the story of two U.S. companies, Atlantic Refining and Richfield Petroleum. The older of the two by nearly 40 years, Atlantic was founded in Pennsylvania in 1866, the state where the world's first crude oil had been discovered seven years earlier. Initially Atlantic concentrated solely on shipping and storing oil, but within a few years it got into the refining business, where it would really make a name for itself.
Mergers and acquisitions fuelled ARCO's growth over the years. The company bought Sinclair Oil Corporation in 1969, gaining chemical plants, refineries and a large network of pipelines. It merged with mining company Anaconda in 1977 to become a broad "earth resources" company.
In 2000, ARCO joined the BP group.
ASARCO was organized in 1899 as the American Smelting And Refining Company. Originally a consolidation of a number of lead-silver smelting companies, the Company has evolved over the years into an integrated producer of copper, and other metals.
The Company is a fully integrated miner, smelter and refiner of copper in the United States. ASARCO's domestic mines annually produce approximately 350 - 400 million pounds of copper. Significant copper mines include the Mission, Silver Bell and the Ray open-pit mines, all three in Arizona.
ASARCO has solvent extraction/electrowinning product at its Ray and Silver Bell mines in Arizona. ASARCO operates a copper smelter in Hayden, Arizona, which produces almost a half a billion pounds of anodes annually. The Company's Amarillo Copper Refinery in Texas and the SX/EW plants at the Ray and Silver Bell mines produce about 375 million pounds of refined copper per year.
ASARCO recognizes and believes that all operations and activities of the Company should be conducted responsibly and in a manner designed to protect the health and safety of its employees, its customers, the public and the environment. ASARCO's operations interact with the environment daily, and consideration of these concerns must be a way of life within the Company. ASARCO is committed to a responsible management of our natural resources.

Greece Funds Pledged Amid Turmoil
Nation's Rescuers Promise Money Through September but Push for Deep Budget Cuts; Prime Minister Vows to Stay On
ATHENS—Greece's international rescuers pledged Thursday they would dispense a promised installment of last year's bailout loan—enough to carry Greece through September—but demanded that Prime Minister George Papandreou ram through unpopular budget cuts even as he struggled to quell a revolt within his governing Socialist party.
At an emergency party caucus Thursday evening, Mr. Papandreou vowed he'd stay on as the nation's leader—a day after word leaked that he had privately offered to resign to make way for a national-unity government.
That political thunderclap weakened Mr. Papandreou's standing, and two of his party's deputies resigned Thursday. Two others defected from the party line earlier in the week. That leaves him with a majority of just five seats, one of which is now held by a Socialist who has said he would vote against the austerity measures. Mr. Papandreou is also expected to announce a cabinet shuffle in the coming days, likely jettisoning his finance minister. The prime minister said he would seek a vote of confidence in Parliament.
Greek bond prices sank to record lows, and the country's crisis effectively turned into a three-ring circus.
In Athens, Mr. Papandreou is trying both to hold power and to push through a €28 billion ($40 billion) package of deficit-trimming measures that has drawn tens of thousands of disaffected Greeks into the streets. In Washington, the International Monetary Fund is leaning on Europe to approve a new, longer-term bailout for Greece. In Brussels, euro-zone officials are squabbling over whether Greece's private creditors should be forced to bear some of the burden of that second bailout.
In a speech Thursday, Mr. Papandreou said his government had made mistakes in handling Greece's economic crisis, but he also criticized other European leaders for failing to stem the wider debt crisis.
Still, he promised his lawmakers that Greece's fellow European Union member nations would come to the country's rescue with a fresh loan deal of "mammoth proportions," though difficult talks still lie ahead.
"We are at a critical moment. Either Europe will write history, or history will write off the European Union," Mr. Papandreou said.
A small moment of relief came from Washington on Thursday: The IMF, which is contributing €30 billion of the €110 billion bailout forged last May, signaled it would assent to releasing a payment to Greece in early July even if euro-zone governments didn't work out their differences on the second bailout this month, as they had promised.
Timeline: Greece's Debt Crisis
The euro zone grabbed at the chance to delay a fractious debate that has pitted France and the European Central Bank against Germany. In a statement Thursday, Olli Rehn, the European Union's economic commissioner, said he now expected a decision on the second bailout in mid-July—but that Greece would get money first to tide it through the summer.
Both the IMF and the euro zone told Greece it had to push through budget cuts. A senior IMF official said it was a "precondition" of continued financing that Greece pass the budget measures, which include fresh tax increases and cuts to the public sector. Even the White House spokesman weighed in, saying it was important Greece "carry on with the fiscal measures."
Despite a rough round of cuts over the past year, Greece has struggled to trim its deficit, and its debt—already the highest in the euro zone—continues to mount to proportions most economists say is unsustainable.
The toll on the Greek public is palpable. During a mass protest Wednesday, demonstrators clogged central Athens despite heavy tear gas from riot police. On Thursday, the city was calmer but crowds gathered again at Parliament by nightfall.
The scene was a world away from the debate in the capitals to the north. Berlin has insisted that private creditors help alleviate Greece's funding woes in a way that is "substantial, quantifiable and verifiable" as well as "voluntary."
Germany has argued that a bond exchange to extend Greece's debt maturities—in effect, freeing up cash by paying creditors back late—is the best way to meet those criteria. But France and the ECB say Germany's ideas for meeting the first three criteria wouldn't be voluntary, but would amount to a Greek debt default that risks destabilizing the euro zone.
No middle ground has emerged.
Set against a fast-changing political scene in Greece, finance ministers from euro-zone governments are to meet Sunday and Monday in Luxembourg to debate a new bailout.
