Why Not
I am a husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. I believe in sharing my talents and experiences by giving back to the community by giving my time to coaching, church and especially to the disability community. I truly believe that all men and women are created equally.
Fostering Self-Determination
My son Tyler will be attending his first Self-Determination Conference this week. This year's theme is "People Power: Learning, Connecting and Making Change"
The Waisman Center just released a new guide for "Fostering Self-Determination Among Children and Youth with Disabilities. Ideas from Parents for Parents." http://www.waisman.wisc.edu/naturalsupports/pdfs/FosteringSelfDetermination.pdf
Support the Arts at Cudahy Middle School
Cudahy Middle School will be performing "King Midas and the Palace of Gold" on Thursday November 10 at 7:00 in the Cudahy Middle School gym. There is a small admission fee to see this fine performance.
I know from personal experience that the kids have put in a lot of time on this performance.
Medicaid Thoughts
Having been a part of some of the Medicaid hearings, I was disappointed, but not overly surprised by the Department of Health Service's decision to possibly remove up to 65,000 individuals from the Medicaid programs.
What this decision does not do, is find out the reasons that the health care costs are rising. It is only putting a band aid on the problem. Not working on a solution to the problem. Not identifying the cause that results in the effect of higher cost.
Happy Thanksgiving
The entire Fech Family would like to wish everybody a Happy, Healthy and Safe Thanksgiving.
If the Packers Can Make Adjustments, Why Can't Government?
As I watched bits an pieces of the Packer game on Thanksgiving, I noticed it was a tight game going into the half. The Packers came out of half time, making their adjustments and pretty much dominated the second half. If the Packers had not made any adjustments at half time and continued to play as they did in the first half, would they have still won the game? The eye test shows that they were the correct adjustments.
The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, otherwise known as the Bush Tax Cuts, are examples of the Federal Government not looking at any change. If circumstances have changed, then why have there not been changes to the plans? If after 8-10 years it appears that something is not working as it was intended to, why do we keep holding out hope that it will eventually work. If the Packers can realize that changes need to be made to succeed, why can't our Federal Government. These plans today do not pass the eye test to me as having been succesful based on their titles.

It's a Blur for Diabetic DrinkersPosted: Tuesday, December 21, 2010
People with Type 2 diabetes who drink alcohol are at increased risk for blurry vision unrelated to retinopathy.
A new study showed that moderate drinking did not increase the risk for or progression of retinopathy in a study of more than 1,200 diabetics, but it nearly doubled the risk of losing two eye-chart lines of visual acuity over an average of five years.
Joline W.J. Beulens, PhD, of University Medical Centre Utrecht in the Netherlands, and colleagues write that, "Multivariate analysis yielded an odds ratio of 1.83 (95% CI 1.34 to 2.48) for a two-line loss of acuity in participants reporting one to 14 drinks a week compared with those who don't drink."
Heavy drinking (more than 14 drinks a week) was also associated with two-line acuity losses to about the same degree (adjusted OR 2.09, 95% CI 1.28 to 3.40), the researchers found.
They calculated that each additional drink per week increased the risk of two-line acuity loss by 2%.
Retinal vascular lesions as detected by mydriatic stereoscopic photography, on the other hand, were no more common in diabetics who drank than in those who didn't, with odds ratios of 0.88 and 1.08 for moderate and heavy drinking, respectively.
Beulens and colleagues had no definitive explanation for the association of drinking with acuity loss in the absence of an effect on retinopathy, but they offered some speculation.
"Alcohol is known for its neurotoxic properties, which could induce oxidative damage to the retina and the optic nerve, leading to visual loss," they noted.
A bit of support for this mechanism came from the researchers' finding that study participants who preferred beer or hard liquor tended to be at greater risk for acuity loss than wine drinkers. "The natural antioxidants in wine may partially offset the adverse effects of alcohol," Beulens and colleagues suggested. Or, drinkers may have an unhealthier diet, with lower levels of vitamins essential for eye health, the researchers speculated.
They also acknowledged that drinkers in their sample differed from abstainers in socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors other than smoking and exercise, which were not measured in the study.
"If participants in lower social classes both drank more alcohol and were less able to afford glasses with prescription, this would overestimate the reported association between alcohol consumption and the decline of visual acuity as visual measurement was performed corrected by glasses or contact lens, or through a pinhole," Beulens and colleagues wrote.
The analysis was a substudy of the ADVANCE (Action in Diabetes and Vascular Disease: Preterax and Diamicron MR Controlled Evaluation) diabetes trial, involving 1,239 patients without previous history of invasive ophthalmic interventions, or severe cataracts or problems with pupillary contraction that would interfere with retinopathy measurement.
With a mean of 5.5 years of follow-up, 182 patients showed significant progression of retinopathy and 640 had retinal vascular lesions. A total of 693 lost two lines of corrected visual acuity in their best-functioning eye.
Two-line losses were seen in just over half of the 833 abstainers in the study and in two-thirds of the moderate drinkers and heavy drinkers.
The adjusted odds ratios controlled for age, sex, blood pressure, glycemic control, body mass index, smoking, duration of diabetes, and smoking status.
Limitations of the study included self-reported alcohol intake, possible inability to cooperate fully with visual acuity examination for those who consume more alcohol, and a small number of patients with retinopathy, which decreased the power of the study.
* Explain that among patients with Type 2 diabetes, those with even moderate alcohol consumption (1 to 14 drinks/week) had significant visual acuity loss over five years of follow-up but no difference in development or progression of retinopathy.
* Note that the overall number of patients who developed retinopathy was small, which limited the analysis.

Input Action And Axis Mappings In UE4Marc Audy on Apr 18, 2014 | Blueprints Programming
In Unreal Engine 4 we wanted to make binding input events as easy as possible. To that end, we created Input Action and Axis Mappings. While it is certainly valid to bind keys directly to events, I hope I can convince you that using mappings will be the most flexible and convenient way to set up your input.
Collision FilteringJames Golding on Apr 17, 2014 | Design Features Learning
Choosing what collides is obviously very important, but it can be tricky, and it's a problem that we have spent quite a while discussing while developing UE4. The system we have can seem a little complex at first, but it is very powerful and consistent, so I wanted to give a little background on how we arrived at it. We'll talk about the different responses to collision, how we use channels to filter collisions, and outline the difference between simple and complex collision geometry.

ORU looks to continue momentum against No. 14 Oklahoma on Tuesday
TULSA, Okla. – Coming off its first sweep over a ranked opponent in recent memory, the Oral Roberts baseball team will look to continue that momentum into a tough mid-week contest against No. 14 Oklahoma on Tuesday. Game time at J.L. Johnson Stadium is set for 6:30 p.m.
Both squads picked up three game sweeps in their conference openers, with the Golden Eagles taking three from No. 23 Central Arkansas at home, while the Sooners achieved the same feat in Norman against TCU.
The Golden Eagles and Sooners matched up last week in a pair of games, one of which went 15 innings, with OU coming out on top, 9-8. In the second contest, ORU batted, but fell 15-8.
Nate Goro sits atop of the ORU lineup with a .333 average and fresh off a game-winning single on Sunday. Logan Domenico has begun his push for .300 after a week where he hit .524, including going 7-for-10 at OU.
Leading the Sooners at the plate is Matt Oberste who has an outstanding .471 average, the only plus .300 average on the roster. He has hit seven homers, with nine doubles and three triples, driving in 18 more RBI's than the next best, Jack Mayfield, with 15.

You're a mountain man: You prefer cannonballs off cliffs to the treadmill in the gym, and you don't even know what spin class is. But just because you like to chop wood doesn't mean you have to smell like you've been living in the woods. Scrub down with this man-size bar, which smells like the outdoors and is formulated from all-natural ingredients that clean without drying out your skin.
A little overhyped in reviews. It's a good soap. Not bad but not the best I have ever used. Nice smell that like any soap fades an hour after you leave the shower. It's just a good soap.
I was first delighted by the smell, but the foamy element to it made it a real win. If Ben & Jerry's made soap, this would be it.
This stuff makes my man smell awesome. His body has never been so clean from head to toe (and especially between). I think I got this product more for me than him....
I really don't know too much about this yet, except that this stuff smells wonderful. I bought this as gifts for the guys in my life, so as I give it out I will know more how they like it.
These things smell great, leave your skin clean and hydrated, and they're reasonably priced. If you consider yourself to have impeccable hygiene, then this should be in your bathroom.
Not only does this make me feel super clean, the smell is amazing and my GF loves it too. Really brings the outdoors into the bathroom!
I got this for my bearded and Sasquatch loving husband. It smelled a little more fruity than I was expecting (and that he would prefer), but it's still a nice smell and he seems to like the soap.
This soap left me speechless. Great for your skin without over drying. They come in several different scents, each one more amazing than the last. My personal favorite Gold Moss Scrub. The smell of forest and man. A perfect combination!
The moisturizers leave your skin soft, but not oily and there is no artificial aroma that makes you feel like you bathed in watered down cologne. I love the Ceder Citrus
This soap is one of the best soaps out there. It is gentle, exfoliating and smells great. Would recommend to anyone!

Badhoevedorp, Holland, 12 October 2003, The 2 Hot 2 Handle promotion recently sponsored an International Mixfight Association amateur rules mixfight and muaythai event. The event took place in Badhoevedorp, Holland and featured fighters looking to get a feel for mixed martial arts competition.
Badhoevedorp, Holland, 12 October 2003, The 2 Hot 2 Handle promotion recently sponsored an International Mixfight Association amateur rules mixfight and muaythai event. The event took place in Badhoevedorp, Holland and featured fighters looking to get a feel for mixed martial arts competition. Having said that, some fighters on the card did have some prior experience in mixed martial arts. The mixfight bouts consisted of 2 x 5 minute rounds and had rules very similar to the RINGS format; rope escapes, 8-counts and no head strikes on the ground. The muaythai bouts were amateur rules bouts; the rounds were of short length but no extra protective gear was worn. The referees included the likes of Gilbert Yvel, Ronny Rivano and Tjerk Vermanen and the participating gyms included Fysio Sportline, Sportschool Khattiya Chayanan, Jurojin, Sportschool Onno Pouw, Sportschool Harry Gorter, Sportschool Lex de Groot, Budo Academie Physical, Loeks Gym, Hybrid Dojo Belgium, Karuma Dojo, Sportschool Remco Pardoel and Rock Gym.
1 - MixfightMinh Ho (62.8kg, Physical)defeated by TKO R1 2:43Sammy Muskita (66.6kg, Henny Pleisier)
After a brief exchange the fighters hit the ground, and despite a seemingly significant weight disadvantage, Ho used his superior grappling skills to secure a rear naked choke, forcing Muskita to make a rope escape. When the fight resumed, the two fighters exchanged some strikes and in the process Muskita sustained a knee injury forcing referee Ronny Rivano to end the bout.
2 - MixfightJohn Aerts (81.5kg, Jurojin)defeated by TKO (Strikes) R1 1:28Jeroen Paalman (79.7kg, Harry Gorter)
Aerts started the bout quickly landing some good shots. Although he forced an 8-count, his advantage was quickly lost as he received a yellow card for kneeing his opponents back. However, he quickly regained the lead by landing some more good shots and forcing another 8-count. Yet again, the advantage was lost as he received a second yellow card; this time for hitting the head on the ground. Not surprisingly, he followed up with another barrage of strikes, forcing an easy TKO win.
3 - MixfightRonny Janmaat (71.4kg, Lex de Groot)defeated by TKO (Stoppage due to bleeding) R2 0:07Bensen Ni (70.8kg, Physical)
This fight was fought mostly standing with Janmaat having the upper hand at all times. Janmaat did his Chute Boxe trunks justice by showing good knees and punches from the clinch. Ni weathered the storm initially by scoring a takedown, but after an eventual referee standup, Janmaat took the initiative and scored an 8-count and thereby ended the round in his advantage. The second round was a quick affair as Janmaat landed a big kneethat oppened a cut and forced the referee to end the bout.
4 - MixfightGegard Mousasi (81.2kg, Jurojin)defeated by TKO (Stoppage due to strikes) R1 1:05Xander Nel (78.1kg, Onno Pouw)
In the quickest fight of the night, Gegard Mousasi put on a brutal boxing clinic and finished off his opponent in just over a minute. Mousasi has extensive experience in boxing competition and has now made a transition to MMA. Using an effective sprawl he kept the fight standing and punished his opponent with hard punch combinations. On the second 8-count, Nel was unable to recover in time and the fight was stopped.
5 - MixfightSong Theule (70.8kg, Loeks Gym)No Contest (2x kicks to the groin)Audy Cijntje (66.8kg, Khattiya Chayanan)
What could have been a very good fight unfortunately ended in a quick no contest as Cijntje accidentally kicked his opponent in the groin on two separate occasions. The second groin strike was especially hard and even broke a bone on Cijntjes foot.
6 - Muaythai NSander Moerman (67.3kg, Jurojin)defeated by TKO R1 (2x 8-count)Guido Brandenhorst (67.4kg, Pardoel Sports)
The first muaythai bout of the evening was very well balanced. Both fighters traded good blows but the advantage was in favor of Moerman. He scored an 8-count in both rounds and thereby was awarded the TKO victory.
7 - Muaythai CMarco Albers (70.8kg, Loeks Gym)defeated by TKO R2 1:17Errol Arrindell (70.2kg, Rock Gym)
The second and last muaythai bout was also very well balanced. The first round featured much back and forth action. However, Arrindell clearly weakened as the bout progressed and in the second round he was given an 8-count for delaying, and shortly thereafter he was counted out as he couldnt continue due to exhaustion.
8 - MixfightWilly Ni (74.4kg, Physical)defeated by Choke Submission R1 2:00Willem Brand (73.8kg, Harry Gorter)
In a fight between two 16-year olds, Ni clearly had the advantage in the ground game and Brand was the more aggressive standing. Ni avoided Brands strikes and pulled off a good judo throw, working his way to mount where Brand made a rope escape out of panic. Ni once again followed the same procedure, pulling his opponent to the ground and working to mount. However this time Brand was unable to make a rope escape because they were positioned in the center of the ring. Ni secured a forearm choke and forced the tap.
9 - MixfightHendrik Blokhuis (68.5kg, Physical)defeated by Armbar Submission R1 3:19Rene Bloothoofd (70.8kg, Loeks Gym)
Blokhuis wanted no part of Bloothoofd standing. He kept taking the fight to the ground and attempted submissions. First he managed to secure an armbar from mount, forcing Bloothoofd to make a rope escape. Blokhuis repeated the same takedown, mount and armbar combination, but this time forced his opponent to tap as they were in the center of the ring.
10 - MixfightSoner Kavakli (75.6kg, Khattiya Chayanan)defeated by TKO (3x 8-count)Michael Meijer (73.3kg, Karuma Dojo)
In a very quick and impressive display, Kavakli started off with a huge punch combination and forced an 8-count. When the fight resumed he immediately came back in with big punches and quickly scored another 8-count. He finished off the job with a yet another combination that knocked out his opponent. Kavakli vs Gegard Mousasi could be a good match for the future.
11 - MixfightRick Pool (69.6kg, Loeks Gym)defeated by Unanimous Decision (3-0)Ralf Schouten (68.4kg, Physical)
In this bout both fighters spent the majority of the time on the ground fighting for positions. The first round was in favor of Pool as he secured better positions and occasionally landed some bodyshots. The second round was much more balanced with both fighters having some good positions but neither being able to finish. The decision was awarded to Pool as a result of his advantage from the first round.
12 - MixfightGewik Mousasi (91.3kg, Jurojin)defeated by TKO (3x 8-count)Jaap de Groot (94.8kg, Khattiya Chayanan)
In the bloodiest and most controversial bout of the night, Mousasi deafeated de Groot in a fight that many feel should have been halted much earlier for various reasons. Right off the bat both fighters went at each other with strikes. de Groot landed a punch causing heavy bleeding from the nose of Mousasi. After a brief doctors check, the fight resumed and Mousasi scored a takedown. He attempted a leg submission but gave up on that and got back the top position on the ground. From there he landed a heavy strike to his opponents face. Whether the strike was intentional or not is hard to say, but the corner of de Groot felt it was grounds for disqualification. Mousasi received a yellow card for the foul, de Groot was given an 8-count and the bout was resumed standing. Mousasi came out throwing heavy punches at his opponent and scored a second 8-count. Shortly thereafter he finished off the job with some more heavy punches. The team of de Groot has filed an official complaint to the IMA and has requested for the result of the match to be altered. In any case, like him or not, just about everybody wants to see the infamous Mousasi back in the ring again.
13 - MixfightYves Lambele (87.2kg, Hybrid Dojo)defeated by TKO (towel thrown by corner) R2 3:26Daan Klaver (89.3kg, Fysio Sportline)
Klaver initially used his significant height advantage to dominate the standup portion of the fight. Lambele therefore was forced to take the fight to the ground, though even there Klaver dominated initially. In the first round Klaver looked to be well on his way to victory when he secured a rear naked choke and forced a rope escape. However he appeared to gas out by the start of the second round and despite his reach advantage he started eating many punches from his opponent. After a brief visit to the ground, the fighters resumed standing and Lambele landed a good combination, dropping his opponent. Soon thereafer he finished off the job with another knockdown after which Klavers corner threw in the towel.
14 - MixfightGideon Akkermans (91.9kg, Pardoel Sports)defeated by Ankle Lock Submission R1 1:55Haik Soukiasian (88.9kg, Jurojin)
The main event of the night ended up being somewhat of a disapointment. Both fighters came to the ring with relatively extensive MMA backgrounds. Akkermans has various bouts in Holland and the UK while Soukiasian has a 3-0 record in Holland and even competed in an MMA exhibition bout in a scarcely known 2H2H show in Tanzania. Akkermans started the fight scoring a takedown. Soukiasian reversed from his back and immediately went for an ankle lock. Akkermans defended well and secured the mount. Soukiasian again reversed and attempted another ankle lock. However Akkermans countered with an ankle lock of his own and forced Soukiasian to tap.
Overall it was an enjoyable event with impressive fights. Especially Kavakli and Gegard Mousasi were very impressive and a match between them would be a great idea for a future event. Perhaps a rematch between Gewik Mousasi and Jaap de Groot could settle the bad blood. Also, Cijntje vs Teule sans the groin shots is another good matchup for the future.

text: Electronic cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular worldwide, inspite of the fact that they are still controversial, and there really hasn't been much research on them. They came about "more as an industry marketing tool, rather than an approach I think to try to address tobacco use," says Dr. Edward Peters, Director of the Epidemiology Program at the LSU Health Sciences Center School of Public Health. But now a new Italian study looked at people who smoke e-cigarettes but had no desire to quit smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes. And after a year this study published by PLOS ONE shows about 13% were not using tobacco at all, and the results were the same for people using either the nicotine or non-nicotine e-cigarettes. "So that does give some credibility or credence to - it's more than just the nicotine. It's the social or behavioral aspects of actually smoking. "We really don't know safe these are. We are still delivering nicotine, which is still a stimulant, still a drug," says Dr. Peters. And the liquid used to create the e-cigarettes vapor hasn't really been studied for safety yet either he says. But should people look to this new alternative to tobacco? Dr. Peters says, "I think about the concept of harm reduction. You're replacing one harm with another harm that is less." One of the concerns though is that electronic cigarettes may promote smoking to young people, since most are sold with flavor. "Depending on how you market it, it could actually be more of a gateway or entry vehicle for young adults, adolescents, children because they may perceive it as less dangerous."

SOURCE Advantage Capital Business Loans
As more wealth is absorbed by the top 1%, Advantage Capital Business Loans seeks to aid struggling small business owners with customized lending and manageable terms.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the great recession that began in 2008, the divide in income inequality between the top 1% and everyone else has accelerated substantially. For ambitious entrepreneurs applying for small business loans, the dire situation can prove exceedingly frustrating, as most lenders are unwilling to take even minor risks, leading to even more pronounced economic stagnation. The finance experts at Advantage Capital Business Loans have set out to buck this trend – with inspiring results. ACBL provides simple, quick business loans with a high approval rating that favors small business owners first and foremost, helping to bridge the gap left by growing inequality.
An analysis from Barry Z. Cynamon and Steven M. Fazzari of Washington University in St. Louis found that since the crash, the lack of demand caused by the economic struggles of the bottom 95% has held back the recovery. "The consumer market is beginning to look like a sandwich without meat in the middle," says Michael Hiltzik, business writer for the Los Angeles Times. This means that the disappearing middle class is creating a market where that only substantial purchasing being done consists of luxury products for those at the very top of the income spectrum, and necessities by those at the bottom.
When consumer spending is down, giant, multi-national corporations can often weather the storm, but small businesses – which serve as the backbone of any healthy, sustainable economy – are often far less capable of weathering hard times. In order to have any chance of surviving, let alone thriving in this increasingly harsh economic climate, loans for small business are a necessity – yet at most big banks and traditional lenders, these loans come with notoriously harsh terms an inflated APR. That's why it should come as no surprise that ambitious professionals are increasingly turning to ACBL for their lending needs.
Upon the firm's inception, the principals at ACBL set out to create a customized lending experience with a manageable and affordable payback that allows small business leaders to effectively achieve their financial goals. This innovative method begins upon underwriting, wherein typical issues like credit, value of collateral, debt to income ratio and overall profitability of a business are eschewed in favor of a business's efficiency and potential.
For business persons with billions lining their pockets, and those marketing to the top 1% of earners, today's economy might seem perfectly fine, but for the rest of us, the marketplace presents more challenging hurdles than ever before. Fortunately, thanks to the lending model at Advantage Capital Business Loans, small business professionals can face these issues with confidence and security, knowing they have a team of true financial innovators on their side. If you're looking to sustainably grow your small business, contact Advantage Capital Business Loans for a free quote at (877) 379-0202, or online at AdvantageCapitalBusinessLoans.com, and look forward to a truly exceptional level of support.

Most Helpful Critical Review
When is Merrell going to take the advice of it's customers and stick with a design that worked? Chameleon Stretch IIs were the best. Chameleon Stretch 3 and 4 are poorly designed.
Thanks for the review. We will pass your request to out Product Development Team.
I ordered these shoes back in January and they were so beautiful, I kept them in the box for 3 months. Well, my old Merrells were finally on the way out - as I jogged, the torn Vibram soles would catch on the treadmill. So out comes the new ones and I love them! I order mens shoes just because the colors are so much nicer than womens. I get many compliements on them becuase they are so good looking. But I love them because they feel exactly like my worn shoes...right out of the box like they were meant for my feet. I will wear Merrells til the day I die...and hopefully thats not too soon cause I want an least 10 more pairs.
Thanks for your continued support for our wonderful shoes. We truly appreciate this great review!

Everyday use....from the gym to work and back home
This is the second pair of Chameleon 4's that I have purchased. I have to wear inserts in most all other shoes I own but not these. For me they are sized perfectly and one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. The first pair is still very functional after 1.5 years just looking a little worn to wear to work.
That is awesome you feel like the Chameleon 4 Stretch's were made just for you! This review shows that these must be something special if you are coming back to get another pair. Thank you for your review.

Work-On my feet 8 to 10 Hours per day.
Really enjoyed wearing these very comfortable shoes for the last several years... Just got the new style and all is good... Very well made and very comfortable.
Excellent! Thank you for the great review.

Goose Island 25th Anniversary Ale
Smells and looks like Honker's Ale, but once it hits the palate the differences stand out like a brewer without a beard. 25th Anniversary has an interesting citrus note that we have never experienced in an ESB before, as well as a touch of sweetness. Overall, it is much more hoppy and bitter than Honker's, as well as just about any other so called ESB that has ever hit our lips.

Best Nails!!!! – I have been going to Sherry to have my nails done for years. Before I went to her, I tried just about everyone in town. My tips no longer fall off between appointments. She really does do the best set of nails in Tahoe. Before I went to her, I thought that it was normal for at least a couple of my nails to come off and I would have to get them done every two weeks. Now I only go every three weeks. She also does my pedicures. She is THE BEST!!!!! (:

The first Baccalaureate Emergency Medical Care (EMC) program in the nation, WCU's EMC Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied health Education Programs through the Committee on Accreditation of Education Programs for the EMS Professions (CoAEMSP). And, we're one of only fourteen institutions in the nation offering the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Emergency Medical Care.
Our exceptional program and faculty members are available to you here on the Cullowhee campus and at your own location through our online program. Approximately two thirds of our students are enrolled in the online program.
As a WCU EMC student, during completion of your paramedic studies you will concentrate in one of two areas: health services management or science (pre med).
- The health services management concentration includes courses in business and health care administration and is intended for students pursuing an administrative role upon graduation.
- If you're planning to continue your studies following graduation, you'll find the science concentration a convenient means of completing prerequisite courses for medical or graduate school.
- In addition to the professional opportunitites that await you when you graduate, you may also want to consider furthering your education through WCU's EMC graduate program leading to the Master of Health Sciences degree.
WCU's EMC Program has a rich history of quality instruction in emergency medicine. Our graduates have pursued careers as paramedics, educators, physicians, physician assistants, researchers, and Emergency Medical Services administrators.

Shopping, 4 04 first rounds picks (GSW, DET, SAC, NYK) for a good wing or PG!
He didn't check in during the first league check-in.
Ok, I figured it was just general inactivity since the Raptors had no points tallied. But what even shocked me more was the burst of trades and moves that he has made since being back. I figured it was two different users at first.

Modesto >Apple Store, Vintage Faire
3401 Dale Road, Modesto, CA | Directions 9535637.6877498089083 -121.053261792864
M-Sa 10am-9pm, Su 10am-7pm
Worst customer serivce ever, "genius' agents incompetent! – Richard was the worst excuse for customer service I have ever encountered anywhere, let alone an Apple store. Shocking. Truly shocking. He should be suspended if not fired.
Rude, insulting, condescending... shall I go on? I definitely can.
He clearly has no respect for customers and is most obviously unhappy in his job.
I was concerned about the fact the technicians had transferred my mac email with over 4,000 emails from my old computer to the one I bought from them (Apple/Vintage Faire) only weeks before and corrupted the files. Not harming my very important email files was one of my biggest requests. When they did in fact harm them, Richard should have been doing everything in his power to assure me the problem could and would be fixed. Instead of handling me with respect and ease, Richard quickly put me on the defense and treated me like a child. Instead of offering to remedy the problem his store created he told me in so many words, too bad, leave.
Because of this experience, I as a 30+ year Modesto resident (family even longer) and long term one of many in my family mac users, will not only never recommend this store, but seriously consider my and our loyalty to Apple.
My family and friends are as disgusted as me. We will definitely be taking our business elsewhere and have nothing good to say.

Atlanta >Food & Dining > Pricci
500 Pharr Road, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3030533.837453 -84.373008
Neighborhoods: Northside, Buckhead Village, Northside
Great Italian and one of Buckhead Life's best; all the pasta dishes are great and the people watching alone is worth the price of admission!
Pricci is home to what may be the best house bread & cheese you will have. Awesome pastas and veal meatballs too!
Great if you love the flavor of salt above all else – Service was good but the food was lackluster, non-authentic and way over salted. The chef really needs to learn to use herbs and spices other than salt.
Great Place for Rehearsal Dinner! – We just held a rehearsal dinner for 60 people for my son's wedding. People were still talking about how great it was at the reception! The set up was perfect, the selection worked well, the service was excellent!
The entire staff was pleasant, responsive, and easy to work with. The preplanning was simple and the follow-thru was right on. Sal Gentile played his wonderful music for us. Thanks for a great event!
I look forward to visiting the restuarant again and will recommend it to anyone who is planning an event!
Exciting but disappointing... Maybe I expected too much... – On the cosmetic side, the restaurant is great, the staff is wonderful and service is excellent. The restaurant has charm and a nice atmosphere.
As far as the food, I was quite disappointed, not by the presentation which again was excellent, but by the food itself. Lots of items were over salted (3 out of 3 people at the table thought the same thing), not cooked right and flavorless, hence the addition of salt.
Maybe I came on the wrong day, who knows...? Yet, based solely on this visit, I would not recommend this place nor would I intend to return.
My favorite Italian place – Went there last night with Valentines Day reservations - despite an unbelievable crowd, we were seated rather quickly at an awesome table. Our waiter, Marcus, was great, attentive and relaxed as always despite the busy night. We were pleasantly surprised that the prix fixe menu had so many courses and prime selections. Favorite part was the salmon entre which was huge, and the best tasting salmon I have had. We'll definitely go back.
No place for a special occassion unless you eat there often. – Pricci's kept us waiting for 45 minutes with a reservation for a special occassion and then tried to seat us in the bar. I asked to speak with the manager who was indifferent.
While the food was good, it hardly qualified as a fine dining experience as the price would indicate.
Just had one of the best meals of my life. Kobi Beef ravioli, great caesar salad and all the other meals in our foursome were outstanding (e.g., the wild mushroom pizza). Service was delightful. – Just had one of the best meals of my life - Kobi Beef ravioli, started with simple, yet tasty caesar salad - just happened to luck out by staying at the hotel across the street - and all the other meals in our foursome were outstanding (wild mushroom pizza, with fontina cheese and carmelized onions (fantastic), artichoke and spinach tortellini, and a mushroom risotto). Each of the meals had simple, yet unique tastes and textures (tried them all). Service was delightful. Wait staff could not have been more accommodating. Very reasonably priced. Makes me wish I lived in Atlanta. I have never written a review of a restaurant before.
I will be back – I've been to almost all of the Buckhead Life restaurants (Kyma, Nava, ATL Fish Market, Bluepointe, Buckhead Diner, Veni Vidi Vici) and, upon finishing my meal, I could never understand what all the fuss is about with these restaurants. I was never impressed by the food or the service. Pricci changed that for me. I went there for lunch and maybe that's the difference because I had been to all the others during dinner. The server was excellent. The food - amazing. I ordered the yellow fin tuna carpaccio which melted in my mouth and the gnocci which were to die for. I plan to go there for dinner for my birthday and I hope that the dinner can live up to the amazing lunch that I had at Pricci.
Had a lunch there. Good interior and service was prompt. Tuna was good. Their noodle was unique.
Price was just right. Coffee can be better.
Overall a wonderfull Restaurant – I have been to all of the Buckhead Life restaurants and Pricci is by far one of the best. I agree that some of them are not all they are cracked up to be, but Pricci rocks. The staff is extremely knowledgable and friendly and goes out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The food is wonderful from the bread and dipping sauce for it all the way to the desserts. The Boston Sole fish that is parmesean crusted is amazing, one of the best dishes I have ever had at a restaurant period. Great place for a special occasion, and they have a great wine list for every price range. I will definatley return.
problem may be corporate – The BHL restaurants are not all they are cracked up to be. I agree with some of the negative postings about them. I think that the service is really lacking.

Coming Soon: New 4k Ultra HD TVs
Ultra HD made a big splash at CES this year, and is starting to tease us with actual sets showcasing huge sizes as well as equally large price tags. These Ultra HD sets offer huge 3840 X 2160 resolutions where measly HDTVs have only 1920x1200. I'm already dreaming about the possibility of owning one of these beauties.

I can't imagine it would be that much fun having one of these and staring at it wishing someone was actually producing content for them...
@Kaz, I really felt the same way too for a while but this is a pretty big push and it took HDTV a while to catch on as well. TV technology is changing so much quicker noawadys and costing us a lot of money to keep up.
We are getting close to the SciFi favorite: the video wall. It does look fantastic, but will it still the case of 1000 channels and nothing to watch? Considering that 4k sets will use more signal bandwidth, we'll have better quality nothing to watch!
I admit I'm disappointed. We are close to video walls, but I don't have my Jetson flying car yet! We need to get our priorities straight!
That Samsung is awesome!
Also, another vote for video walls here. Get on that, tv designers.
Recess a couple of big screen TVs into your wall and put a nice finish (picture frame perhaps?) around it and voila, video wall! :)

Conservative Republican Del. Bob Marshall is challenging a former Republican governor for a U.S. Senate seat this year for the second time in four years.
Marshall says he will announce his plans and file federal campaign papers next week, but he has already created his own campaign organization in Virginia. Marshall registered his committee, Bob Marshall for Senate Inc., with the State Corporation Commission on Monday.
He enters a crowded field of four candidates led by frontrunner George Allen, a former governor who is trying to win back the Senate seat he lost six years ago to Democrat Jim Webb. Tea party organizer Jamie Radtke, E.W. Jackson and David W. McCormick are already in the June primary.
Marshall narrowly lost the GOP nomination in 2008 to former Gov. Jim Gilmore.

Rumor: Celtics interested in Kendall Marshall
By Matt Moore
November 4, 2013 11:20 am
The Celtics have interest in Kendall Marshall. (USATSI)
The Boston Globe reports the Celtics coul be interested in free agent Kendall Marshall.
The Wizards wasted no time in waiving Shannon Brown, Malcolm Lee, and Kendall Marshall from the trade with the Suns, putting three intriguing players on the free agent market. Marshall is a pass-first point guard whose style never fit with the Suns, but he could serve as a solid backup for a building team. The Celtics would likely be interested in Marshall if his salary didn't push them above the luxury tax and make them a repeat offender, something ownership desperately wants to avoid during this rebuilding phase.

Makes sense, right? The Celtics need a point guard, literally anyone who can dribble. Marshall's young, and cheap, and on the market. He's a former first-round pick and fits with what they want in terms of young players.
Can Marshall be an effective starting point guard? It's unlikely. But hey, there's no reason not to take a flyer on him.

At a glance: 6-4, 195 pounds, 22 years old
2012-13 stats: 14.6 minutes, 3.0 points, 3.0 assists per game
How he got here: Acquired with the 13th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft
What he brings to the table: With wing scorers a-plenty on the roster, there's room for another passer behind Goran Dragic. Marshall is as pass-first as it gets, a reputation reinforced at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. The former Tar Heel looks to get teammates in their offensive rhythm well before looking for his own shot, a habit that earns plenty of points with any team.
Goal: Improve shooting (37.1 percent from the field, 31.5 percent from three in 2012-13)
Best game as a pro: March 28, 2013 vs. Sacramento. With Dragic out of the lineup, Marshall played some of his most productive minutes in a game that was close until the very end. He finished with nine points, 10 assists and two steals as part of a late-season surge in his rookie year.

Bradley's ball handling at the end of the Detroit game was awful and the major reason we lost that game. I think Stevens has seen enough to know that Bradley can't play the point. It was worth the try. Bradley will be expendable.
The team needs both a starting PG and a backup PG. The Marshall acquisition makes a lot of sense if they can accomodate financially.
posted at 11/4/2013 12:04 PM EST
Not to toot my own horn ...
but this pickup would work GREAT with a (Lee, Bass for Asik) trade! The trade would open up an additional roster spot, clear out a guard, and open up some more salary while staying under the tax line.

Marshall's a great idea. But there's no room. Any suggestions on how they could make this work?

In response to R9R's comment:[QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]It would be a no brainer trading Bass and Lee for Asik... for the Celtics. But again, as so many trade proposals floated here, Houston would have no interest in taking 2 mediocre players with bad contracts. and Remeber Houston traded Lee to us to begin with. So that trade won't happen. Houston will be looking to improve their PG position in a trade for Asik, if they have any intention of trading him to begin with.

[/QUOTE]I'm not an expert here, like you guys. But would a 10-day contract on Marshall seem appropriate? Give him an audition w/o crossing the Lux threshold?
[/QUOTE]no ... they're looking to upgrade their PF spot. They have Lin and Beverly ... to very decent backup PGs. There's not way they're getting a blue chipper PG for Asik/Lin/Beverly. They need someone to play alongside Howard that complements his skillset.
The Rockets fanbase are out of their minds. They think that they can get Blake Griffin or Kevin Love or Serge Ibaka... clueless.
Bass is a good, cheap option next to Howard. Asik > Bass, so a pick needs to be included. Lee is a throw-in for salary, but Lee can still be a 3&D guy off the bench. Rockets traded Lee because they were rebuilding, now they're contending and could use Lee's veteran presence.
posted at 11/4/2013 12:48 PM EST
The Rockettes were so thrilled to get rid of Lee. You think they're not only going to take him back but they are going to include Asik in the deal? Good one.

Of all the contracts we have, it's not Bass, or even Lee that is the albatross.....it's Bogans!!
This contract is killing us. He has to go, there is no room for him, and it prevents us from signing kids like this.
We have to make a trade.............

dont get it..supposedly we are trying to tank but we arent!!! No more spending, no trades. Play what we have. Play Pressey at least he knows how to dribble and pass..I dont care what our record is at the end since we are rebuilding, arent we??? I just want to watch competitiveness in the form of good basketball with decent amount of turnovers... The Asik idea makes me sick..the guy is being put in the pedestal in this forum like if he was the best center out there..its the case of Gortat as well..both are average and both arent going to take boston over the hump or make any team a championship calliber team.. I say, Brad, play what you have.

[/QUOTE]I do not understand any of what you're saying.
"play what we have"
"no trades"
You must be one of those change-averse people. If we keep this roster and keep "developing" we will be going nowhere. The lower half of medicority for years. Trades and free agent signings are what create championship teams. We have some guys on this team now that NEED to be moved.
posted at 11/4/2013 2:05 PM EST
I see Humphries, Lee and Bogans going before the year is over, Crawford and Brooks when the year is over, and Bradley re-signing for nowhere near what he wants!
For the record, I am not averse to trading anyone on this roster to get better. Except Fav and Oly.....I would trade Sully for the right deal........unfortunately, he could be another BBD - and we all know how I felt about him!!
posted at 11/4/2013 2:14 PM EST
[/QUOTE]Bass may have value as a backup. He is not a PF starter on a contender. Neither Lee nor Bass are good enough to get Asik. They can do a lot better elsewhere. Houston is 3-0 and Asik is pulling down 12 RPG. But I'm sure that won't stop you from proposing this or something similar again for the hundreth time.
posted at 11/4/2013 2:15 PM EST
[/QUOTE]If we get rid of players, it better be to clear up salary but it makes no sense to trade for, example, Asik, to have a huge payroll that would limit the team on getting some REAL stars.. Dump players, YES...trade to acquire Vultures, NO.

In response to hedleylamarr's comment:[QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]I don't think anybody is going to take Bogans in trade. We'll have to eat his $5M this year and then its done. Same with Hump, but at least he has value both as a player and his expiring contract in a trade.
More important, its the multi-year deals with players who are not part of the rebuild that we need to move this year - Wallace, Bass and Lee. I can't see anyone taking those bad contracts without giving up value (a player(s) or draft pick(s) that we would prefer not to trade) in order to move them.
posted at 11/4/2013 2:26 PM EST
[/QUOTE]I would agree, but I thought Bogans has 3 years left. If I'm incorrect, I agre that we will eat it....

He's basketball smart, can control a game, and loves to pass.
Yeah, but he's slow, not athletic, and he can't shoot - 37 FG%.
So what? Slow + unathletic + 37.5 FG% = Bob Cousy
And don't get your knickers in a twist. I mention it only to cite that there can be little correlation between description and performance.
What's for sure is that this team is crying out for any kind of game manager, so a pure PG would really help.
If you can't get a go-to SF and/or a reliable shooter at SG, you might as well get a competent PG to try and maximize what it is you do have.
I can see the logic of it, but a 2 million dollar price tag isn't at all doable without subtraction somewhere else. Maybe a D-league guy for the rookie minimum?
posted at 11/4/2013 2:45 PM EST
[/QUOTE]Technically he has a 3 year and $15M contract, but its Not guaranteed after this year. So we can cut him this summer without further damage after eating his $5M

[/QUOTE]Thanks - then we are stuck with him, I guess!

Main :: POD Farm / POD Studio / TonePort
by gdegani on 2010-11-18 02:55:11
Good morning,
I'm having a latency issue when playing. First check my specs:
Dual Core 1.8Ghz
2Gb RAM DDR3
2Tb HD (7200)
Windows XP SP3 (optmized according to the line 6 online guide)
Pod Studio UX2 connected on USB 2.0 (Configs: Extra Low Latency, lowest buffer and
Midi Controler Key Station Pro 88 (M-Audio) connected on USB 2.0 (It don't have any own sound, needs a plugin to work)
Monitors KRK Rokit 8
Sonar Producer 8.3
All the drivers updated.
I open my Sonar, create a BFD 2 Midi track, True piano 2 Midi track or any other Midi track to record directly from my Keystation, but when I play, the sound on the monitors comes in delay. This is enough to not be able to play any song since it's quite dificult to play a note and hear it after about 0,5 sec or so. Also, testing this delay, if I keep playing the same note quickly, the delay cut off some of them. I mean, if I play fast10 times the same note it will sound dealyed and will break the sequence not play some of this 10 times.
Well, I try closing my Sonar and open the Reason Adapted. Ok, the delay was very lower while playing few notes, but when playing a hole play with fast sequences along left hand harmonization, the daley comes back to amost 0,5 sec, and I can't keep playing (the "one not fast issue" doesn't happen on reason).
I've heard two time from two different friends that they already had problems with Tone Port UX 2 with the same think, but I'm using the POD Studio UX2. I took my Keystation to one of these friend's house and it worked completely fine (Digidesign Mbox2 and quad core 2.0ghz). So, it is not the problem. Before, I put money on a better computer (I7 960 3.06Ghz, 8Ghz RAM, 4Tb HD, WIndows 7 64bit) I want to be SURE that my POD STUDIO is NOT the problem.
Also, I never could record on 24 bit/96, but that other question.
Dear Line 6 felows, thank you for your support, and I'm waitng for an answer, a tip, or any thing that helps me.
See ya.
by gdegani on 2010-11-19 09:02:28
Hey, is anybody out there?
by gdegani on 2010-11-22 08:27:10
I'll keep trying,
Is there any professional who can give me a tip? Some one who knows how things works?
by ricksox on 2010-11-22 12:55:54
You have Sonar configured to use the POD Studio ASIO driver?
Are you saying that if you rewire Reason Adapted and try to trigger a synth you get high latency?
by gdegani on 2010-11-23 08:19:43
Hi Miller!
Thank you very much for your support!
The Sonar wasn't configured to use the ASIO (I would never figure it out since I've never had recording issue before)
Now, about the Reason.
Reason Adapted Stand Alone has no latency for single notes and slow playing. But when I start playing something fast, with both hands (2 or more notes at the same time) it starts to get some latency.
I've just checked Reason Rewire and it's Ok for playing and no latency, but it's making a really strange sound. When I first heard I thought on cliping, but it happens even with the volume quite low. I'll record something when I get home and post here for you to hear.
Thanks for all.
by ricksox on 2010-11-23 09:03:48
If you'd like to post a clip then that would be fine.
Are you sure you are using the UX2 ASIO driver inside Reason Adapted?
Have you tried adjusting the buffer settings in the Line 6 Audio MIDI Control Panel for the UX2?

When visiting Canada, and you ask the waiter/waitress/grocery clerk for some Canadian Bacon, they will generally respond in one of two ways.
- So…what part of the States are you from?
For the record, in Canada, it's called 'Back Bacon', a center cut of meat from the loin of the pig found on the…let's say it together…back. American Bacon (or streaky Bacon) comes from the belly cut, where there's a tad more fat to be found.
This has been a pubic service reminder designed to promote goodwill and joy between the Great White North and their American Neighbor.
