The future of Hutcheson Medical Center should become clearer in the next couple weeks after board leaders evaluate proposals from two Chattanooga health systems vying for a partnership with the struggling community hospital.
An ad hoc committee including Hutcheson management and board members, county commissioners and medical staff will hear proposals next week from Memorial and Erlanger health systems in separate, closed meetings, committee members said.
Staff Photo by Laura-Chase McGehee/Chattanooga Times Free Press/ Oct 7, 2010 - Hutcheson Medical Center on Gross Crescent Circle in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. This is to accompany a story on Hutcheson seeking an outside partner (a larger hospital) to help with its financial troubles.
"These two weeks are very critical to the health care issues of North Georgia, and perhaps Chattanooga," said committee member Leonard Fant, chairman of Hutcheson Health Foundation's board and former Hutcheson CEO. He's also the former chief operating officer for Erlanger.
Hutcheson's board leaders hope affiliating with a larger, nonprofit health system will attract more doctors — and more paying patients — to the 195-bed hospital in Fort Oglethorpe, which is hurting from from losses due to treating patients who can't pay for their care and lower patient admissions.
Hutcheson provided $5 million in uncompensated care in 2008, according to financial statements, and its average daily patient census has averaged in the 40s, executives have said.
"Survival sometimes takes on a communal or alliance-type scenario," Fant said.
The committee will recap the two presentations for board members but will not necessarily make a recommendation on either proposal, officials said.
Hutcheson Medical Center, a publicly owned community hospital, is governed by the boards of four entities.
* Hutcheson Medical Center Inc. — The private nonprofit company, created in 1995, operates the hospital. It leases the former Memorial Tri-County Hospital building from the local hospital authority and has a 13-member board to oversee daily operations.
* Hospital Authority of Walker, Dade and Catoosa Counties — The authority owns the hospital building and oversees Hutcheson Medical Center's 40-year lease through a nine-person board appointed by county commissioners.
* Hutcheson Medical Division — The for-profit sister company to Hutcheson Medical Center was established to operate medical office facilities and practices. Its board oversees Hutcheson's clinics.
* Hutcheson Health Enterprises — The nonprofit parent company of Hutcheson Medical Center and Hutcheson Medical Division has a 13-person board.
* Hutcheson Health Foundation — The nonprofit foundation was established to raise money supporting the hospital's mission to serve residents of Walker, Dade and Catoosa counties. Its board has more than 25 members.

Dade County commissioners expect a final decision by Dec. 1, said County Executive Ted Rumley.
"I'm just glad it's coming to a head," he said. "Right now there's going to be a big change and we know that, and it's going to be a change for the better."
Spokesmen for Erlanger and Memorial hospitals declined to comment, citing a confidentiality agreement with Hutcheson.
Hutcheson Medical Center board chairwoman Martha Attaway said hospital management and medical staff, board representatives and county commissioners have been working to figure out how to pursue a relationship with another hospital.
Dr. Darrell Weldon, board chairman of the Hospital Authority of Walker, Dade and Catoosa Counties, said Hutcheson must focus on core services, including primary care. Larger medical centers can provide more complex services in the region, he said.
"We don't want to compete with them for the hearts and transplants. ... We want to be able to do community-based medical care," he said.
The hospital is an extremely valuable asset to North Georgia, said Bebe Heiskell, Walker County's sole commissioner.
"There's 150,000 people in the three counties of Walker, Dade and Catoosa and most of them are paying patients," she said.
Hutcheson is "not faring well ... but that doesn't mean that's not a good facility. If they had the right doctors and the right administration, I believe they could prosper."
Hutcheson in July hired Community Hospital Consulting of Plano, Texas, to evaluate its finances and determine what kind of partnership could provide support while conserving local control over operations.
Erlanger hospital provides more than $80 million in uncompensated care each year, officials say. So Erlanger has a particularly big incentive to ensure Hutcheson's financial stability so Erlanger doesn't get saddled with even more indigent patients, said Dr. David Hall, vice chairman of the Hutcheson Foundation board and committee member.
"It's certainly to Erlanger's interest that we remain financially viable so the indigent and Medicaid (patients) are cared for out here locally and don't get fostered off onto them, in addition to what they already have," Hall said. "They have a financial stake in it."
A new partnership also could bring changes in the hospital's governance, which is now shared by five boards, Rumley said. The tri-county hospital authority owns the hospital building and has a board appointed by county commissioners in Dade, Catoosa and Walker. The Hamilton Medical Center Inc. board oversees the daily operations of Hutcheson.
In the future, "you can bet the counties will have more control, more authority, regardless of what it takes," Rumley said. "There's no reason to have five boards to operate a hospital that size. ... You need to have a board that actually is in charge of that hospital and not four or five boards that you have different chairmen for."
Since 2007, when the hospital earned its first profit in years, Hutcheson has made significant investments in renovations and in cancer and cardiology programs.
The 2007 profit of $766,766 prompted the hospital to spend $25 million in 2008 to renovate patient rooms and the lobby, buy equipment and upgrade the Fuller Cancer Center on Battlefield Parkway, according to newspaper archives.
The hospital also spent $1.7 million on a new cardiac catheterization lab that received state approval in 2009, but Hutcheson does not now have an interventional cardiologist to lead the program.
In fiscal 2008, Hutcheson lost $468,000. Hospital officials would not release figures for the fiscal year that ended in September 2009, except to say losses were higher than in the previous year.
President and CEO Charles Stewart said the hospital does not have to release those numbers under the state's open records law because the final audit is not complete and the numbers have not been discussed in open board meetings. Dr. Weldon said board members have been briefed in closed meetings.
County officials aren't happy about the delay in receiving the information since they typically get a report on Hutcheson's finances one or two months after the fiscal year ends, Rumley said.
"That's just a really touchy thing right now. Normally every year we're already gotten it," he said.
Stewart said the recession has boosted Hutcheson's losses from uncompensated care.
"That has a dramatic impact on our financials, as it does for other community hospitals," he said.
To deal with the losses, Hutcheson also has also cut services. For instance, it dropped ambulance service to its three-county region in 2008 after losing $700,000 on the service that year, Stewart said at the time.
And the hospital announced last month it had sold its home health arm, Hutcheson Home Health, to Lafayette, La.-based LHC Group.
Officials and board members also say the hospital has lost staff physicians and affiliated community doctors from primary care to pulmonology to cardiology, which affects referrals and patient counts.
Hall said Hutcheson needs more staff specialists in pulmonology, general surgery, cardiology and oncology and a stronger network of primary care doctors to refer to those specialists. A relationship with a larger hospital would help recruit new doctors into those areas, Hall said.
"We badly need doctors out in this community," Hall said. "Being so close to Chattanooga, any new (physicians) that come into the area, they're attracted there. That's the biggest problem."
He said the listing of hundreds of doctors as Hutcheson staff physicians "means nothing." Few of them regularly admit and visit patients at Hutcheson, and most practice primarily at Chattanooga hospitals, he said.
If patients must go to Chattanooga to access the pulmonologists, general surgeons or cardiologists who will diagnose their conditions, Hutcheson will miss many opportunities for treatments, Hall said.
To survive, the hospital needs "a much more active and viable medical staff," he said, but the change may come slowly.
"You can't just keep losing your medical staff and turn it around all the sudden. ... A lot of these things take time," Hall said.
Rumley said many Northwest Georgia residents have personal ties to Hutcheson.
He said he was born at Hutcheson when it was called Tri-County Hospital. The counties bought the hospital in the 1950s with funding from residents who agreed to have money taken out of their paychecks, he said.
"People wanted a hospital so badly," he said. "We don't want to lose the hospital. That would be a blow to Dade, Walker and Catoosa counties."

Hutcheson Medical Center cannot become a statistic of the downwardly spiraling economy. The answer is not in combining it with Erlanger though. Both of these hospitals take on so many indigent cases that, when combined, they would crash and burn. They are also the worst in quality of healthcare by anecdotal evidence. Everyone I know has had repeated bad experiences at both of these facilities. I personally have had horrible treatment from Hutcheson and Erlanger on numerous occasions. I have since stopped using them entirely for emergency and surgical care and now go to Parkridge. Since I currently have insurance it is a luxury I can afford since Parkridge is participating in my insurance plan. The last time I went to the E.R. there I did not wait at all. I was the only patient there. I had driven by Memorial first since it was closer but it was so packed that people were lined up along the walls because there was nowhere to sit down. I received excellent care at Parkridge and even received a discount off my copay since I paid when I left instead of waiting on the bill. I truly felt the disparity in our healthcare system that day. I was one of the privileged few who could walk in and flash a little plastic card and be treated like royalty. I felt horrible for all those poor, sick people that I knew were still waiting to be seen at Memorial as I walked out with my prescription and got into my car, the only one in the parking lot.
It is the separation of poor versus wealthy that has created this disparity in our hospitals. I have seen both sides of the coin so I know why it operates that way. When you have insurance and money there is a certain expectation of quality from your healthcare providers. Basically, you get what you pay for. When you are poor and just begging for anyone to help you, they could send in a medicine man and you wouldn't care as long as you don't have to pay for it. The social bias rests within all of us and is manifested best in our hospital system. We have for profit hospitals that only the insured and wealthy can go to and then we have the "community hospitals" that are really just the dumping grounds for everybody else. Allowing for-profit organizations to push away the bad apples is partially the reason the healthcare system is failing in general. If everyone shared responsibility in the care of the less fortunate then the burden would not exist. It would just be a charitable donation every year.
Social bias huh? So I guess the $800,000.00 in one years profits that resulted in a nearly $27,0000,000.00 expansion has nothing to do with Hutcheson's problems...It's always going to be more difficult to give quality care to people who can't afford to even make a minimal fiscal contibution to there own well-being. There isn't enough money out there to make up for this, and truth be told, the rich will always find a way to get better treatment than the average guy. Still, that does not excuse the gross mismanagement of resources that this board has overseen. Their first move should be to replace this board.
Hutcheson would do better if the Chattanooga md's would stop taking their insurance paying patients to Chattanooga, such as cancer care, chemo therapy. Let the locals get their treatments at their local hospital. Yes granted some procedures need to be done at Erlanger or Memorial, but many do not.
The populations of Walker and Catoosa Counties have increased by over 50% in the last 25 years. And 25 years ago Hutcheson was in great financial condition. It had renovated facilities and over $20 million in surplus cash. For the management of Hutcheson to manage its way from where it was then to where it is now should warrant a Grand Jury Investigation. Hutcheson's finances were "ran into the ground" at the same time that its primary service area population increased by over 50%. Are Hutcheson's hapless managers trying to convince us that the 50% population increase was all indigent people? Really...those indigents must be the ones building all the new homes in Walker and Catoosa. Come on man. I don't think so. But, the public needs to know what happened and who got rich at the expense of Hutcheson's demise.
A tremendous public asset has been ruined and I call on the government officials of Walker, Catoosa and Dade Counties to order a full scale investigation of the ruination. This newspaper article has the same tired old names still trying to find solutions. I think that they are the problem....not the solution

Few things usher in fall in Chicago more than the reemergence of beer geeks on the city's barstools. The crisp midwestern air brings out the best in craft brews and small batch beers, and connoisseurs of ales and lagers, stouts and double bocks citywide are ready to imbibe.
Chances are most Chicagoans are familiar with Goose Island Brewery and its ubiquitous Honker's Ale, but who else plans to be fermenting in the Windy City by the end of 2008?
No one except tiny Half Acre Beer Co. It's swimming against the departure or demise of most of Chicago's microbrewers to move here from out of state.
Tiny means tiny – of the 8 million barrels of craft beers produced in America last year, only 800 barrels were Half Acre Lager, the company's first offering, and Half Acre's total sales its first year were less than $250,000. Despite accounting for just 1/1000 of the total U.S. small brewer output, Half Acre President Gabriel Magliaro knows that setting up shop in Chicago is one way to raise the profile of his product in a short amount of time.
"The craft brew industry is very tied to the 'craft' aspect of it," he said. "It's the creation of the beer and the relationship between brewer and consumer. It's something that we want to be able to do."
According to the Brewers Association, a Colorado-based organization dedicated to promoting craft brewing in America, craft beers in the U.S. have seen sales growth of 58 percent since 2004. In 2007, these small, independent brewers reported sales of $5.7 billion, up 16 percent from the previous year.
The time has never been more favorable to enter this growing industry, but it's harder to navigate than simply possessing a love of beer.
For the past year Magliaro and his business partner, engineer Matt Gallagher, have outsourced Half Acre's brewing to Sand Creek Brewery in River Falls, Wis. Though Magliaro says the relationship with Sand Creek was a great start for his company, he is excited about the flexibility that in-house production will give him.
"We don't have the creative freedom we'd like to have. We can't say 'Oh, let's make X beer,'" he said. "In six months, I'll be able to say, 'Let's try a really hoppy stout,' and assuming we had all the raw ingredients, we could do that in a week."
Jim Wiesender, general manager and partner at Sand Creek, says that he will continue bottling Half Acre beers as Magliaro, Gallagher, and brewmaster Thomas Nicely produce the draft beers in Chicago. "Gabriel developed the recipes and we worked together to produce the beer," he said. "They'll do a great job producing their own product."
Relationships like the one between Sand Creek and Half Acre are not uncommon in the craft beer world. Wiesender is currently brewing beer for 8 other companies in the Midwest and says that "30 to 35 percent" of his business comes through contract brewing.
In addition to trusting another brewer to produce his product past, Magliaro relied on the network of American microbreweries to find his new brewhouse. When northern California brewer Lagunitas Brewing Company upgraded its brewhouse, it sold its old equipment to Colorado's Ska Brewing. Ska in turn passed its vats, filters, and fermentation tanks on to Magliaro and Half Acre.
According to Magliaro, this sort of trickling down of resources is common in the brewing world. "We feel really good about purchasing equipment that contributed to the success of another brewing company," he said. "everybody buys things from everybody else and we all, hopefully, grow as a result."
Half Acre's new Lakeview neighborhood may benefit, too. At least, that's the expectation of Half Acre drinker Jim Kopeny. "It'll probably bring tourism of the upscale sort up north," he said. "I could see beer connoisseurs making there way up there, and if they go up for the brewery I can see their families sampling the shops around there."
Though Magliaro thinks the earliest the Chicago facility will be up and running is the end of 2008, the complexity of selling beer in Chicago continues to occupy his efforts. The city of Chicago has implemented a "three-tier" system of alcohol sales, whereby beer can be delivered to consumers outside of the brewing facility only by an outside distributor.
Last year Half Acre agreed to distribution by Chicago Beverage Systems, the city's leading beer distributor and home to such industry heavy hitters as Miller, Heineken USA and Molson Coors. Though Chicago Beverage System doesn't typically work with small brewers, Magliaro's choice of CBS was based on the old-fashioned art of relationship-building.
"Several years ago when I started researching the idea for the company, I started calling around and I wasn't treated very well [by most distributors]," he said. "But Chicago Beverage was always really receptive to what I was talking about. We went with CBS because we were able to establish a dialogue with them and they were respectful of me and what we were doing."
CBS President Jim Doney returns Magliaro's confidence. "Half Acre is a small, local company and we were impressed with the product quality and we wanted to help them succeed in Chicago," he said. "For a long time, Goose Island has been the default choice for local beer and we think that over time, Half Acre can give them a run for their money."
In order to challenge the mighty Goose Island, whose beer empire includes brewpubs in Wrigleyville and Lincoln Park and a massive brewing facility in the West Loop's Fulton Market district, Magliaro knows, Half Acre will have to ramp up production and distribution.
He says that right now Half Acre has "50 or 60" on-premise, or bar and restaurant, clients in Chicago. With the new brewhouse, Magliaro hopes to increase production by as much as 150 percent. "We hope to sell between 1500 and 2000 barrels next year," he said. Those additional barrels will go in part to adding "a total of 50 draft accounts by summer 2009, which would mean adding about 30."
Magliaro cites influential accounts such as Small Bar, the Heartland Café, and the Twisted Spoke as giving his beer a place and a voice in Chicago. "I think a lot of what makes it successful after it gets in there is the patronage," he said. "The people in there, the bartenders, they take an interest in the brand being there and in us and our presence."
As Half Acre's profile grows and its reach expands in Chicago, Magliaro is hopeful that his brand will help lead the way back to the kind of intimate beer culture that once existed here. "Chicago was for so long a place where there was a lot of intimacy between brewer and consumer," he said. "You drank the beer of your neighbors and you knew where it was coming from, and your beer was a thing that was unique to where you were. We're excited to be a part of that. We hope to have a place and a beer that people connect with."

I would not say that I was a 'non-believer' in the benefits of feeding my dogs high priced natural foods, but I would say that I was somewhat skeptical. When I adopted Elvis, my retired greyhound, there were so many choices on the market. I knew which brand he ate at the kennel, but thought that I should give him something better. I bought a higher priced food and was happy with the results. One day, years later, a friend was telling me about the change in her dog after changing his food. She said one of the first things she noticed was his breath. His breath was not as offensive as it had once been. She also noticed a decrease in the amount of stomach upset he seemed to have after she switched to the Nutro brand. She told me that the salesperson told her about the benefits of the food including the reduction of shedding and the reduced volume of solid waste produced. Although none of these things seemed to bother Elvis, it made me feel guilty that I was not giving my dog the best food for him.
The next purchase of food was Nutro's Natural Choice for sensitive stomachs. I have been feeding my greyhound this and other Nutro foods for years and he is thriving. Yes, I have tried to switch to less expensive brands a couple of times, but always came back to the Nutro brand. Upon switching brands I always noticed a decline in his overall attitude. His breath smelled like hot, rotten fish and his stomach was upset and bloated even though I integrated the new food slowly into his diet. His coat was not as shiny and he shed more than he did with the Nutro brands. Because he is a retired racer, he loves to run. I noticed that if I used other brands he seemed to feel sore or achy after running. I think that the glucosamine and chondroitin in this formula helped keep his joints performance ready. Again, I am not sure whether or not any of these things bothered him, but again, it did bother me.
There are many varieties available and it is sold at most major pet retailers. It is well worth the prices and I would recommend it to anyone that asks my opinion. I now also have lab-mix and I was worried about feeding them the same food, but he seems to do well with this brand as well. In another year or so I will have to begin buying Senior food for my greyhound, but I know that Nutro will have exactly what I need to maintain my greyhounds health and well being well into his senior years. ..even though he still thinks he is a puppy.

Pitch update
The latest pitch news.
Flora: Mother and Adam & Eve/DDB are waiting for a result on the pitch
Mother and the incumbent, Adam & Eve/DDB, are optimistic of a result on the Flora advertising pitch before the Christmas break. The work went into research in November and the intention is that the agencies hear on 18 December, which will make for a nice early Christmas present for one of them.
Competing agencies are on tenterhooks waiting for a result on the Mini integrated pitch. A result is likely early next week, once the decision-makers in Germany have signed off the appointment. AAR has handled the process, which involves Dare, Engine, Iris, Profero and The Corner.
Chemistry meetings for The Co-operative CRM pitch will take place over the next few days in a process handled through AAR.
MEC and ZenithOptimedia are thought to be the final two agencies on the Omega Pharma media planning and buying review. A result could come as early as this week.
A result on the Associated British Foods European media pitch is expected on Friday. Maxus, MPG Media Contacts and the incumbent, ZenithOptimedia, hope they will be put out of their misery by the end of the week.
Media agencies with an artistic streak, or a gap in their client portfolio, are wading through the tender issued by Southbank Centre, the complex of artistic venues on the South Bank of the Thames. It is looking for a media planning and buying agency to handle its business, which is currently with TCS Media. Creative, which is handled in-house, is unaffected by the review.

Supporters of the Healthy Michigan Amendment took petitions filled with 476,000 signatures to the state election division in an effort to put the amendment on the Nov. 5 ballot.
Now, voters will decide what Michigan should do with the approximately $300 million it receives annually as a result of the 1998 tobacco settlement. According the state's budget office, the money is currently being used to fund scholarships, health care programs, and public safety programs.
Budget expert, Kelly Chesney, said approximately $109 million is used for educational programs and scholarships, $115 million goes towards health related programs that benefit low income individuals and people who need long term care, and $100 million goes towards the preservation of public safety programs and services that benefit crippled children and low income or disabled people.
If the amendment passes, 90 percent of the tobacco settlement money would be used for smoking prevention, research and tobacco-related health care.
The state currently spends about $30 million to prevent smoking and educate young people. State representatives say they've cut the number of young people who smoke by 28 percent over the last four years.
Proponents of the amendment say of the 46 states involved in the tobacco settlement, Michigan is one of three that doesn't use the settlement money specifically to prevent smoking or smoking-related health problems. They say the money should be used to combat tobacco-related problems.

Adele Burnett, the head of the Inlet Information and Tourism Office, said the event doesn't attract tourism.Rather, visitors are coming to the area for Memorial Day weekend.
According to Burnett, similar garage sales have been held Memorial Day weekend in Inlet and Old Forge for at least the past 30 years.
She said the sales didn't have any significant economic importance. Rather they were more of a tradition.
"It means summer is just around the corner," Burnett said.
According to Burnett, the number of sales in the area is roughly the same as it has been for the past four or five years.
The Inlet garage sale map has six listings, and Burnett estimated at least another six haven't been registered simply because they will be held on the main thoroughfaire, Route 28, and don't need publicity.
Burnett said the Old Forge garage sale map has 24 listings. She estimated there were probably another 10 that haven't been registered.
For more information regarding the Great Adirondack Garage Sale, please contact Roalsvig at (518) 624-3077.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
El Dorado Police are asking homeowners to be on alert for a woman taking advantage of people's kindness to steal from them.
Police say the woman knocks on doors and asks unsuspecting homeowners if she can come inside to use the phone or the restroom. Once inside, she takes the opportunity to steal prescription medication, jewelry, and cash.
Police say it appears she especially targets senior citizens.
The woman is described as Caucasian between 30 to 35 years old. She is between 5'1'' and 5'4'' with a medium build. While descriptions of her hair color differ, most recent reports are that she is blonde with spiked hair.
Police say they think they know who the woman is but they have not released her name. They posted the following on the Department's Facebook page Sunday:
"We have not released the name at the request of the prosecutor. She's been charged in several of the cases and the prosecutor does not want to risk influencing a jury, should her case be heard in front of a jury. She's out on bond and continues to commit crimes, some of which are still under investigation and charges will be pending in those cases."
People in town say they're upset that a con woman is taking advantage of their "small-town hospitality."
"It's ridiculous," Angela Lakin said. "This town is pretty nice and kindhearted. Neighbors will help anybody out."
That includes neighbors like John Provorse who says if someone showed up at his door in need, his first inclination would be to help.
"I'd show them where the restroom is," Provorse said.
But now he and others likely will think twice before opening the door for a stranger.
"They can keeping knocking but they ain't coming in!" Lakin said.
Police say if someone does come to your home and makes strange requests, be suspicious. They ask homeowners to get a description of the person and the vehicle he or she is driving and then call 911.

Are you a sucker for love stories? An interesting bouquet of romantic sagas such as 'Doli Armaano Ki' and 'Beintehaan' - has hit the small screen.
Last year, the telly was inundated with mythological and historical shows, but recently TV channels have started beaming interesting love stories.
Here's a list of love stories that the viewers can relish:
'Beintehaan': Revolving around Muslim families, 'Beintehaan', which went on air on Dec 30 on Colors, is a passionate love story of two people - Aaliya and Zain. It is about finding your soul mate in a place that you would have never imagined. The two protagonists have a love and hate relationship, but they end up marrying each other.
'Rangrasiya': 'Rangrasiya' is an intense love story between a village girl and a paramilitary force officer. The two meet under tragic circumstances and initially, they have only hatred for each other, but as the story will progress, they will fall in love with each other. It went on air Dec 30, 2013, on Colors.
'Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya': Jaipur based drama is the new offering from Zee TV and it talks about a young girl and her views on love and romance. Ready to hit the screen on Monday, 'Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya' will talk about the process and the experience of falling in love.
'Doli Armaanon Ki': A fairly new show, 'Doli Armaano Ki' premiered on Dec 2, 2013, on Zee TV. Set in Jhansi, it's not a typical love story. The story revolves around the arranged marriage of a simple girl Urmi and her dreams and expectations from her husband, an antithesis of her 'ideal man'.

HAMMOND – Purdue University Calumet has rescinded its layoffs of seven tenure-track faculty members a month after telling those instructors that declining enrollment had cost them their jobs.
Purdue Calumet's interim vice chancellor for academic affairs, Peggy Gerard, said in an administrative blog posting that the Hammond school rescinded the layoffs because the campus' fall enrollment had been better than expected.
School officials had expected to see a 7 percent drop in fall credit hour enrollment at Purdue Calumet, but the decline was only about 4 percent. Before Wednesday's announcement by Gerard, the seven affected faculty members had been preparing for their contracts to end at the conclusion of this or next academic year.
Purdue Calumet administrators had sent the notices in early August in response to anticipated lower enrollment they said would cost the university $3 million. The notices prompted a wave of complaints from faculty and the Indiana Conference of the American Association of University Professors.
Although the overall enrollment numbers were improved, school officials said Purdue Calumet will still see a $2 million budget shortfall.

It just cost me $1150 for some teeth removal. There are plenty of kind and loving vets that do not gouge out there. Do not go,here
Highly recommended. They are reasonably priced and have treated my animals and our family with courtesy and respect.
Steamboat is a caring and loving hospital. I would recommend then to everyone. It's not just a job to them, they truly care about our pets.

text: FLASHBACK: Brawley Documentary Reminds Us of Sharpton's Past Print article Send a Tip by Lee Stranahan 3 Jun 2013 post a comment It's good to be reminded every now and then how truly awful Al Sharpton is. As the New York Times has moved into the digital age, it is releasing a good deal of well-produced video content, and its fifteen minute documentary on the Tawana Brawley rape case and Al Sharpton is no exception. The video report is also notable for not sparing Sharpton as it lays out the facts of the story. In November 1987, a fifteen year-old black teenager named Tawana Brawley was found in Wappinger's Falls, NY wrapped in a plastic bag, with feces in her hair and with "KKK' and the n-word written on her body. She claimed to have abucted and then raped and sodomized by six white men. She quicky gained a set of advisors headed by Al Sharpton along with attorneys C. Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox, fresh off a round of racially charged publicity in the Howard Beach incident. Sharpton wanted to make New York the new capital of racism in the world and made a round of media appearences where he said things like: "We want to show the world how low down doggish and callous the state of New York is." The media circus lasted months. Brawley and her advisors soon raised the stakes, and said two of her assilants were an assistant district attorney and a police officer who had committed suicide a few days after Brawley was found. Sharpton and the others called him out by name and made other public charges against law enforcement that were as outlandish as you can imagine. A source in the video points out: "Maddox would actually say that the attorney general of the state of New York was masturbating over pictures of 15-year old Tawana Brawley." However, as the authorities continued to investigate, a number of things weren't adding up in Brawley's story. When the police attempted to sit down with her, she refused to cooperate. In the course of the interviews with police, Brawley only said one word; instead of speaking, she communicated by blinking. Meawhile, Sharpton kept up his high profile campaign. As an investigator on the case said, "We might send them a letter, and they'd have a press conference." A look into the motivations of the advisors came from Perry McKinnon, a decorated war hero who was a close associate of Sharpton. The New York Times shows an interview with McKinnon in which he says: "This whole situation is not about Tawana Brawley. It's about Mason, Maddox and Sharpton taking over the town. Their exact words were, 'We beat this, we will be the biggest (n-words) in New York." In the video, a present-day Al Sharpton gives a skillful non-denial denial to McKinnon's accusation. It is notable because Sharpton doesn't say McKinnion is simply lying, instead parsing his words gingerly:" Let's take the outside chance McKinnon is telling the truth--and by the way, there's nobody corroborating with that--if I say that if I win for President when I ran I'd be the biggest black guy in America; does that really mean that I perpetrated a lie?" Investigation eventually proved what an increasing number of people were suspecting: Tawana Brawley had faked her own attack and allowed Sharpton, Mason and Maddox to drag two innocent men's names through the media mud for months. A grand jury found that Ms. Brawley had lied. Later, Ms. Brawley's boyfriend said that she had faked the attack in order to avoid a beating from her mother for spending days with the boyfriend. Brawley currently works in Virgina as a nurse under an assumed name. Maddox and Mason both lost their law licenses, eventually. Sharpton went to lead other racially charged and factually challenged protests in cases like the beating of a white student in Jena, Louisiana and the Trayvon Martin case. Sharpton is a close ally of President Barack Obama and has his own MSNBC show. In the video, Sharpton is still unrepentant about the Brawley incident. He refuses to even say that Brawley was lying, instead claiming: "Whatever happened, you're dealing with a minor who was missing for four days, so it's clear that something wrong happened." As a commentor in the video says about Sharpton's involvement in the Brawley case, "He has managed to trascend it magically." But it's no magic. It's the exact same trick that allows proven liars like Bill Clinton and Anthony Weiner to come back. Al Sharpton himself lays it out in the video: "Even if you think I was wrong on some cases, don't act like I wasn't geared towards social justice." That's the ultimate defense for liberals; "I'm a liberal!" And the worst part is that it works.

It's been a while again. And there have been some rough times.
And frankly, I'm tired of having rough times. If you will permit me to whine just a little bit---
this house I live in is hard. It has been harder and harder for 4 years (offering hospitality to a homeless family). They turned out not to be the family we probably should have asked to live with us, but because the 3 kids' lives are being transformed, we keep doing it even though there are many indicators that we should not. But it's hard to argue my needs against the needs of these 3 kids, so every day we decide to keep doing it for one more day, but it's hard, and there are often crises.
Then we took custody of the 16 year old for 6 wonderful, fulfilling, transformative months. We turned our lives around and it was so hard but so incredible. Then he and his Mom decided to try again (although we all thought it was long term), and so we lost him after 6 months.
3 years ago my Dad was diagnosed with cancer. It has mostly been controlled with a chemo-like drug, but has been worsening. 3 weeks ago we thought we were going to lose him, now it's a battle week to week as we live and breathe on the results of his weekly blood tests and how he's feeling and pray he doesn't get another infection and hope he is OK, although the best that "ok" can offer is a little more time.
In the midst of all of that, things really have been good. I have an amazing marriage that is my home and joy every day. I have fulfilling work which they pay me too much to do, really (although my colleagues disagree with that, to be fair), I have a loving community, and thanks to SP, better health than I've ever had in my life. In the midst of the crisis of this family living with us, I have chosen to live healthily more days than not, and now weigh 184 instead of 100 lbs heavier than that as I did my entire life.
But it's still frustrating that the scale hasn't done much in the past year and a half. Nothing, really.
I had a great vacation and an amazing 2 week stretch after that which was more on track and awesome in terms of eating and drinking and tracking and exercising--I really put SP on the top of my list. I still only lost one pound. Frustrating, but not a deal breaker certainly.
But what I really want to know is --
how do you balance dealing with struggles and crisis? I want to be gentle and loving with myself, so I let myself pay less attention to tracking and measuring. I drink a little more, I eat a little worse, but not terribly. But then I just feel worse. But how do I balance that with the lack of energy or enthusiasm I have to give those things the attention they require? How to balance between being kind and gentle with myself and staying on track in crisis. That is the question.
Because it seems like more is coming with my dad. So...
I hate writing negative blogs. I'm a positive spin kind of person. So forgive my whining.
It has been helpful to re-read some of my former blogs (as recommended in a great blog by DDORN). It's nice to remember what got me here.
Thanks all.
Life after vacation is never really very easy. But things are going well. We didn�t return to our �normal� life. Jenny has been at a permaculture class 9 hours a day 6 days a week since our return. It has made us feel busier than normal, but it�s been very invigorating to continue to dream our little city lot and all of the things we can do with it.
On vacation I decided (kind of) to go easier on the alcohol to see if that made a difference in my SP goals. Since we got back, I have been doing a really, really great job. I am trying to keep SP back in the front of my mind, not in the middle or back. I want to see if that moves my goals from stagnant and maintenance-minded to ACTIVE and moving the scale. I got to 185 pounds a year ago, and have not gone up or down since. Don�t get me wrong, I am thrilled to weigh 185 after a lifetime between 265 and 290. I rejoice!! But it�s frustrating, some days more than others. Other people have started above my start weight or at my start weight and managed to get down closer to their goals, so why am I stuck?
The first thing I knew is that I am usually at the top of my range (a range that hasn�t changed since my first big losses). So even on �in range� days (of which I probably usually run 4 or 5 days out of 7), I am often at the top end. Also, 4 or 5 out of 7 isn�t as consistent as I need to be. It seemed to work before. It�s not working now. I also realized that my pattern of having a glass or 2 of wine every night was one of the things that keeps me at the top of my range. AND that I wanted to break that pattern. My final realization is that while I have come leaps and bounds in negative thinking, that area is stuck too. I got to a certain point of growth and then kind of stagnated.
So I am trying to really pay attention to how I talk to myself and turn it around.
1. keep a daily hand-written log of calories, mood, alcohol consumption, sleep, and a few other things to really have a clear overview of a month. Then I want to compare that to my weight loss.
2. Keep SP in the front of my daily thoughts/goals
3. Recommit to exercise
4. Recommit to eating at the middle or under of my range at least 5 days a week, and not going over 2,000 calories the other 2 days.
5. Not drinking every day.
6. Work on the negative voice like I work on paying attention to food�keeping it in the front of my mind.
I didn�t put on too much weight on vacation, if any. I got a scale for my house (this was a BIG decision; I had been weighing myself at the clinic where I work). Changing to weighing before I eat and with no clothes on immediately made my weight better !
I am weighing myself every day to keep my goals in front of me.
So far, I�ve lost 2 pounds, which is more that I�ve managed in the past year. For the past 4 days the scale has not moved, which is a little bit of a bummer, but I feel great about how I�m working out (I ran 3.6 miles today!!), how I�m eating, and how I�m attacking the negative voices. I love singing songs to my negative voice while I�m running (I will Survive as done by Cake and Do You Believe by Cher are 2 good ones for that!). So things are looking good. The weekends are hardest. It is so much easier to be organized and true during the week.
That�s all for now.
Have a good rest of your week!!!
Here's the problem--- I decided to write a blog update to my last blog. A few days ago I wrote the trauma that we have been living through. I wrote about how my eating had followed down the dark path, followed (or preceded?) quickly by self-loathing and negative thinking.
I wrote about being frustrated this far along in the game with how much my self-esteem from day to day is tied in to how well my eating and exercising are (ie, can I feel good about myself today or not? let's review my food and exercise to see).
I also wrote that I was going to try to act as if I cared about myself on Monday and Tuesday prior to leaving for vacation, and that I was worried about vacation.
Monday and Tuesday did, indeed, go my way. I am nervous because I don't want to feel negative about myself while we are on vacation, and I want to eat well and exercise but don't necessarily feel able.
Flash forward to today, vacation so far is fabulous! We had a great 3 mile run (with some walking) along Lake Michigan this morning, then walked on the beach for a while. Now I am sitting clean in my rental, feeling calm and peaceful and good.
So I decide to write a blog to tell you all that I feel good today (yay!). But then I thought, well before I write I need to track my food so I know if I should write that I'm doing well or not.
What's up with that? This is just the problem.
So, I decided to write and say that I am doing great! And my tracking may reveal that I had too many calories yesterday (we had a great pizza for dinner). But you know what? I am doing great. Period. My negative side wants me to measure myself up based only on my calories, but for the first time in weeks I feel peaceful, good, content.
So how am I?
I am freaking great.
Thanks for asking.
More from the shores of Lake Michigan soon.
My last blog entry---seems like so long ago. I had made goals for Memphis and met them all. I was feeling so good and on.
Until last week anyway. We have been fostering Robert (a 16 year old) for the past 6 months, and had planned to keep him until his high school graduation. We felt great having him. It made all of the suffering of our house for the past 3 and a half years seem worth something--we were finally getting life from it (Robert's Mom and 2 siblings live upstairs in our house of hospitality --kind of like a homeless shelter--and it has been rough.) But finally it was gratifying and lovely. It felt ordained and beautiful.
But last week Robert's Mom decided she wanted him back upstairs with her. Their relationship is fairly toxic, but how could he say no to his own Mom. He couldn't, and so he moved back upstairs.
We are heartbroken. We both miss him and the dream that we were finally living. It has been devastating.
So, we all know what that looks like, don't we? Malaise, poor eating, little exercise--all of which quickly turns to self-loathing.
It's a fun cycle.
I'm still in it, but I can't figure out how to break it. So, I'm going to try the adage 'act as if'. I will act as if I have the energy and spirit to get back on the wagon. I will make goals I have no faith I can keep. I will try, though, to keep them.
They are only going to be goals for Monday and Tuesday because I don't think I can look further than that. And we are going on vacation on Wed (total panic about that--I fear the whole thing will be the vacation I've been desperate for, but will find me loathing myself because I'm so far off the wagon that it will be a miserable 2 weeks anyway--don't you wish you were going with me? :)
anyway, they are simple, but they've proven to be elusive for the past week, so here we go:
for Monday and Tuesday:
I will plan everything that goes in my mouth before I put it in there.
I will track every thing that will go in my mouth.
No cheese
No peanut butter
no ice cream (not usually a trigger for me, but we've had it around and it has been very dear to me!)
9 oz wine per day, no more
exercise both days
i want to make a goal about sending myself positive messages. That negative voice just waits in the damn wings until bad things happen, and then it takes over again. I thought I'd come so far (I have come so far). But I don't know how to be more aware of it. Maybe I will just set an alarm and every hour or 2 check in with my feelings and see where that negative voice has me.
There you go.
While journaling yesterday, 2 questions came to mind:
how can I let myself grieve and go easy on myself without crossing the line into pity and self-destructive behaviors? They seem so closely related. I want to respect the first but stay away from the 2nd.
How can I have my self-esteem, positive energy about myself NOT be related only to if I work out that day and have eaten well the day before. It is so black and white for me----I actually begin unconsciously to evaluate myself when I wake up (while I'm still kind of asleep) asking myself, can I feel good about myself? OK, I am about to work out and I ate within range yesterday. So YES, I'm a big winner today, I can feel GOOD about myself because today I am GOOD. If the answers are no, then permission to self-annihilate. How do I break that patter?
I'm going to try to come up with some vacation goals, but it makes me very nervous.
Thanks, all.
I am so happy to report that I met all my goals in Memphis!
I ate within range every day, and worked out every day! The hotel had a really nice work out room. I ran on the treadmill 2 days and did the elliptical one day. AND I did some strength training one of the days.
The manager's reception (free food and drinks) was OK. I took a diet soda and popcorn every day, and had a few sips of Jenny's mixed drink to not feel sorry for myself. Somehow it all worked. It usually doesn't! I either feel hard core health wise but totally wiped out from having resisted OR I don't resist and feel crappy health wise. This trip I felt such a nice balance of resisting but not feeling like it was taking everything from me. And I made good choices food and alcohol-wise. I feel really, really good about it.
Not eating out helped a lot. We managed to not eat out once.
The boys loved the civil rights museums and the underground railroad slave haven house we went to. We loved hanging at the hotel.
It was just a fantastic trip.
I have felt a little bit of "OK, you can ease up now" today since we got back, so I want to watch that. We are making dinner for my Father in law and his girlfriend tonight, which will be challenging (that's the polite way to say it). But I'm making salmon and salad for myself and Jenny. It will be a good night.
Thanks for all the support.
more goals to come!

The prayer is aimed at unconditional submission of the human being before the almighty. But the human being prays for his/her welbeing only . The mismatch between words and action happens in all walks of life not only in chanting only the prayersAnswered by Pradipta pati, 24 Mar '09 02:08 pm
This question can be raised for any prayer. Moreover, 'prayer' is an attitude of submission. It may be verbal or in any other way. Further, This Hindu way is an example of the well-wishing for the whole creation, not only to ourself.Answered by vinay vaidya, 24 Mar '09 12:09 pm

A former Virginia Commonwealth University employee convicted of embezzling from a school community-outreach program has been sentenced to three years in prison.
"The Richmond Times-Dispatch" reports that 40-year-old Lisa Durham of Petersburg was sentenced Tuesday in Richmond Circuit Court.
Durham formerly was the coordinator of a VCU program that provides rent, utility and prescription-drug assistance to chronically and terminally ill patients.
She pleaded guilty in July to six counts of embezzlement. Prosecutors say she took $144,000 over three years from the program.
She apologized Tuesday in court.
