Dr. Fred Cerise poised to take reins of Parkland Memorial Hospital
BATON ROUGE, La. — When Fred and Shannon Cerise got married in 1986, his plan was to finish medical school and serve as many needy patients as possible in a one-doctor practice.
"I thought we'd live in a poor neighborhood above his medical office," his wife said. "But I think he's found a better, more expansive way to serve the same population. It's a bigger stage to do it on."
That bigger stage — the new Parkland Memorial Hospital — soars 17 floors and will handle more than a million patient visits annually.
Dr. Fred Cerise is poised to sign at least a million-dollar contract in the coming days to run the Dallas County hospital, marking the first leadership turnover in more than 30 years. It comes as the public hospital struggles to restore its credibility after widespread regulatory problems.
He was drawn to the CEO job by Parkland's "rich history," Cerise said, and its strong community support.
As part of the selection process last month, he and two other candidates fielded questions from local civic and business leaders.
"I just got a sense that there was great general support for the work that's done at Parkland. People are proud of it, and they want it to continue," Cerise said last week during a lengthy interview at his Baton Rouge home.
He will replace Dr. Ron Anderson, who stepped down in 2011 after 29 years as Parkland's top administrator. He left after the board of managers refused to renew his contract.
Anderson was the 35-year-old medical director of Parkland's emergency room when he took the hospital's helm in 1982. He had worked and trained there for the previous nine years.
Cerise, 51, arrives with a lengthier professional resume, amassed during 18 years of working in patient care, research, medical education and public hospital administration at Louisiana State University. He also served a four-year stint as head of the state health department.
The Louisiana native has no experience in Texas health care or any previous connection to Parkland.
"I know Parkland's reputation because I'm in the public hospital business and the academic medicine business," said Cerise, his wife seated next to him. She is a social worker, and they have three children.
For more than two hours, he answered questions effusively and unscripted.
"Parkland's got a great reputation among academic medical centers," he said. "It's viewed as a prestigious safety-net hospital with a very rich history."
Cerise laid out his plans and hopes for the hospital system, while admitting he was still on a learning curve.
Not only must he delve into Parkland's current operations, he said, but he's also sorting through its recent travails with state and federal authorities over patient-safety issues.
"I had a copy of the Dallas newspaper three years ago," he recalled of first learning about Parkland's predicament. "If you were paying attention, you couldn't miss that story at the time."
In 2011, Parkland failed a series of government inspections triggered by stories in The Dallas Morning News.
The reports highlighted supervisory lapses of physicians in training, deficient emergency care and inadequate nursing oversight.
Parkland was ordered to correct 499 processes or risk losing future federal funding.
"It had to be fixed," Cerise said. "What's going to be critical is that we don't backslide. The regulators need to know that we're serious about ongoing services and the quality-of-care programs."
Katrina effort
Cerise has a history of fixing troubled health care networks, although most of that experience came after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
While the storm devastated New Orleans' entire medical infrastructure, Cerise concentrated first on Charity Hospital. It was the largest facility in the state's public system.
As the head of Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals, Cerise rushed to Charity when the floodwaters shut down power and other utilities, cutting off all communication to the outside.
Hundreds of patients and staffers were trapped in the aging facility for six days.
"He was deeply instrumental in evacuating hospitals, particularly for the public hospital patients," Kathleen Blanco, who was Louisiana governor at the time, said last week.
"We lost contact with him for three days while he was fighting those nightmares," said Blanco, a Democrat. "He's not afraid to be hands-on."
Robert Mann, who was the governor's communications director, recounted the media briefing she called during the critical time Cerise was missing. Some people, including Blanco, feared he might be injured or dead.
"Fred came into the briefing unannounced and they threw their arms around each other. It was the only time I saw the governor cry," said Mann, now an LSU communications professor.
During the post-Katrina recovery, Cerise helped revamp the public health system. It lost not only caregivers but patients, many of whom were evacuated to other Louisiana cities that had inadequate medical facilities.
"Charity didn't reopen," Cerise said. "But we expanded our outpatient offerings where the demand was. One of the advantages of being a big system is that you can do more things."
Running hospitals
In 2007, Cerise rejoined LSU, where he had worked previously as a physician, medical director and CEO of its Baton Rouge hospital.
This time, he was named to a new position: vice president for health affairs and medical education. It put him in charge of the statewide network of public facilities, including 10 hospitals, about 500 clinics and two medical schools.
"It's a big public safety-net system, just like Parkland's," Cerise said. "I got to do what I enjoy doing. It's meaningful work."
Cerise took an interest in tracking medical care and outcomes using electronic medical records that follow patients throughout the system. A similar research effort is underway at Parkland.
"You could get access to the records to do comparative studies on the effectiveness of treatments in order to improve medical care," said Dr. Steven Heymsfield, former director of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at LSU.
"Fred was extremely interested in this work. He saw it as an important part of his job."
A new governor
In mid-2012, Cerise lost his job running the LSU hospital system. It came after a bruising episode with GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration, which was seeking to close a $329 million gap in Medicaid funding.
Cerise, always known for "graceful interactions" with politicians, seemed unprepared for the changes the new governor wanted to make in the public health system, said several observers.
Jindal's plan called for private companies to run the state's public hospitals, ending more than a decade of LSU oversight.
It turned into a public battle when Cerise pushed a different plan to cut costs, while preserving the system he had overseen for five years.
"When he didn't agree with the governor, it got very nasty," Heymsfield said. "But Fred held his ground. I'm guessing he felt it was worth it."
Looking back, Cerise said it was clear that he wasn't the person to administer Jindal's changes.
"Fortunately, I could go back to the LSU med school and help them with the transition," he said.
He negotiated how several private hospitals took over the public facilities, where doctors were being trained. He also oversaw the closing of the Baton Rouge hospital, where he spent 13 years of his career.
"I asked him to help me and the school develop practices with our new partners," said Dr. Steve Nelson, dean of LSU's medical school in New Orleans. "He was invaluable."
Nelson, who has known Cerise since he was an LSU medical student, said the Parkland job appears to be a perfect fit for his longtime friend and colleague.
"He can see the different sides of the equation," Nelson said. "He understands the faculty, the funding, the research and the hospital points of view.
"But in the end, he always wants to do what's right for the patient. He's an incredibly well-rounded individual."
AT A GLANCE: Fred Cerise
Age: 51

NTMA chief tells politicians of huge losses -- mainly on AIB
THE value of the State's investments in AIB and Bank of Ireland has plunged by €10.1bn, the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) has revealed -- with AIB the main cause of the decline.
The NTMA has been forced to mark the shares in AIB and Bank of Ireland strictly to market prices, leaving it nursing huge losses, said John Corrigan, the agency's chief executive.
However, he added that a recovery in values could not be ruled out in future years.
Using mark-to-market accounting, ordinary shares and preference shares in the two banks have tumbled in value, with AIB, in particular, causing an €8.8bn drop.
Investments in Bank of Ireland have also slid by €1.3bn.
Mr Corrigan said the NTMA was being "very conservative" in relation to the value of its AIB investment. Shares were trading this week at about four cent. He said the NTMA was valuing them at one cent.
"The situation is quite volatile,'' he said, remarking that volumes of trading in AIB and Bank of Ireland shares were "very thin".
The NTMA holds investments in its 'non-discretionary portfolio', which is separate from its normal portfolio of bonds, property and private-equity holdings.
The original state investment in the two banks was €20.9bn, NTMA staff explained to the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee yesterday.
"It is a very fluid situation,'' Mr Corrigan said, denying that the value lost would become permanent.
"To suggest the money is written off forever is not necessarily the case,'' he said.
While the Bank of Ireland and AIB investments could recoup value in the long term, the money invested in Anglo Irish Bank was "gone" said Mr Corrigan. All the State could do now, he explained, was try to negotiate on the €30bn of promissory notes to Anglo.
Pension fund
Attempts are being made to finance these via Europe and the European Financial Stability Facility, said Mr Corrigan.
He explained that the notes were paying an 8pc interest rate, but cutting this back would leave Anglo Irish with a capital hole that would have to be filled.
"We are looking at it,'' he said.
Mr Corrigan also revealed that the NTMA was leading the push to impose losses on subordinated bond holders, which were reducing the cost of the bank bailout bill from €24bn to around €16.5bn.
Talking about the NTMA unit involved in these burden sharing exercises, Mr Corrigan said: "The banks wouldn't have been as aggressive as us.''
The NTMA also revealed that there was only €5.3bn left in the National Pensions Reserve Fund.
The chairman of the fund, Paul Carty, admitted that this amount was nowhere near enough to meet future pension liabilities of the public sector.
"I'm guessing now, but covering 30pc to 50pc is the best we can do,'' said Mr Carty.
He explained that raids on the pension fund to pay for the banks and the IMF/EU programme meant that pension liabilities would have to be met by the markets.
"We're then relying on the markets to generate the return,'' he told committee members.
The NTMA has been selling €10bn worth of equities in the last year and has purchased "put options" to insulate itself from current market turbulence, added Mr Carty.

Return of a champion
Andy Murray of Great Britain broke down on Centre Court after losing the Championship final at Wimbledon to Switzerland's Roger Federer and said, "I am getting closer." It brought smiles and tears to millions of Britons who were waiting for their first male champion in more than seven decades. Federer, standing 20 feet away and holding his seventh Wimbledon trophy as if his life depended on it, knows what it is to be a loser in a Grand Slam final; he's been in that position seven times since 2003, mostly ceding the trophy to his bete noire, Rafael Nadal of Spain.
Federer's seventh win at Wimbledon — his jaw-dropping 17th Grand Slam title — is not just testimony to his determination, but also a tribute to his consistency. He has featured in 24 Grand Slam finals, eight more than Nadal, and six more than American Pete Sampras, both of whom, along with Australia's Rod Laver, are possibly the only contenders to "The greatest tennis player of all time" tag. His career win-loss percentage is an astounding 81.63 per cent. Only Nadal has a higher career percentage of 82.70.
It is not just his Grand Slam performance that counts. Federer's influence goes beyond the tennis courts. In 2006, he won the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian of the Year award for his charity work. In 2011, he was voted the world's second most trusted human — after South African leader Nelson Mandela — in a worldwide poll. He has won the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award seven times since 2004 and the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award for four consecutive years between 2005 and 2008, another record.
However, Federer is only human, an aspect that is more than evident in his losses to lesser tennis players. But it is his superhuman ability to prove the world wrong about his decline that makes him great — or, as some would say, 'The Greatest. Very few would contest that after Sunday's final.

We've struggled for years to teach our daughter how to ride a bike. She decided around the age of 4 that she was afraid - she didn't want to fall and didn't like the wobbly feel of the training wheels.
We were living abroad at the time and didn't have a ton of room for her to ride, so we let it go. She had a bike, but just wasn't interested.
We tried encouragement and positive reinforcement. Nothing. We tried mild shaming - "Look at that little guy on his bike! No training wheels!" Nothing. It didn't help that she doesn't have immediate neighborhood friends who were riding - in fact, she had friends her age who were also still on training wheels. Oh, for some positive peer pressure...
She said it was too big, so we bought her a smaller one. She didn't like riding that one, either.
|The look says it all...
This attitude leaked down to her little brother, who might have been more interested in riding, but followed his big sister's lead. We bought him a strider bike - no interest. I'll ride my tricycle, thank you very much. He inherited a 12" bike with training wheels from a cousin - that was more interesting, but he still preferred the trike.
Enter: Pedalheads!
Pedalheads Bike Camp was coming to Denver and immediately signed up both kids. This is the first year they've been in the area - they're mainly located in Canada. They have three locations in Denver, and one happened to be in Stapleton - even better!
Knowing our daughter's attitude towards riding, we started prepping her about a month out to give her time to get used to the idea. "Give it a try - it might be fun!" "These are professionals - they know a lot more than Mom and Dad." While she wasn't excited about the camp, she at least agreed to give it a chance.
Since our kids were at the same level (even though one is 5 and one is 9), they were in the same class, which helped them initially and gave them a buddy. I signed them up for the all-day camp, but there are also morning-only and afternoon-only sessions. They work on skills, play bike games, do some crafts, play water games - it sounded like a ton of fun. We were excited and optimistic!
|Day 1 with the awesome Mr. Tennyson
Day 1: The kids rode with their training wheels all day and worked on control, steering, braking, and learned about helmet safety. It was super hot so they also got to run through the sprinklers, which they loved. The kids rode over ramps to get them used to looking up instead of looking at their feet (held by the instructors, of course). Her bike was a bit small, so we were asked to bring her bigger one (which, thankfully, we still had).
|Look - smiles! And after a full day of riding! Woo hoo!!!
Day 2: After a brief morning review, they removed the kids' training wheels! Something just clicked for my daughter, and off she went, riding on her own! I talked to her teacher, and he said with the older kids it tends to be a matter of confidence since they already have most of the motor skills, and with the younger kids, it tends to be more a matter of mastering the balance and motor skills. My son was striding well by the end of the day and had pedaled on his own 5 times - yay!
Day 3: My daughter took to bike riding so well, they bumped her up to the Level 3 class with Ms. Celeste. Imagine our surprise! (Apparently, that's unusual - normally they'll bump up one level, but I'm grateful they were able to pivot and not leave her bored in the Newbees class.) Something clicked with my son after lunch, and off he went! A bit wobbly, but riding on his own!
Day 4: The Level 3 class walked their bikes over to Central Park and rode around there (about 6 kids with 2 teachers). The Newbees worked on braking softly so they don't fall over and improving control. Both kids come home smiling and wanting to ride their bikes more. Love it!
Day 5: Superhero day and a bike parade! Each kid in the class had his or her name announced and rode a fancily decorated bike through a course with ramps to great cheering and applause. We received a report card for each kid, and I know they would both love to return for another week.

Emergency contraceptive pills are commonly used by women who want to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Though these little pills are tiny, it is extremely effective. Experts suggest that women should not make contraceptive pills a habit, as it can have an adverse effect on the body.
Regular intake of these pills can have a massive effect on the brain and, especially, the blood. It is believed that these contraceptive pills congeal the blood in the body, making blood circulation levels to decrease. And, when blood circulation decreases below normalcy in the body, the woman can undergo severe problems related to heart attacks and even a stroke.
Contraceptive pills, though they serve the purpose of an unwanted pregnancy, are always not better options compared to other choices like a copper T or even tying the fallopian tubes.
Now, the question most women fail to understand is, "how does contraceptive pills work"?
According to experts, a woman has to pop in a contraceptive pill within 3 days after unprotected sexual intercourse. However, the sooner the better. This little pill, when consumed, takes up to 5 days to react with the body after having an intercourse.
In most cases, the emergency contraceptive pill uses hormones that block the chance of a woman getting pregnant.
The pills are so highly effective that the properties present in that little tablet can stop the release of an egg. It can also stop the sperm from fertilising with the egg.
Apart from this, the pill may also prevent a fertilised egg from implanting in the uterus. But, remember, if you are already a pregnant, there is no chance of this contraceptive pill working.
Experts state that contraceptive pills can work wonders, but as mentioned earlier, they do have a fair share of unexpected effects on the body.
Experts state that birth control pills are much better for women to pop in when compared to contraceptive pills, since the former does not contain too much of synthetic agents to tamper with the body. Most of the birth control pills contain two female hormones that are oestrogen and progestin, which are not that harmful to the uterus.
However, it is advisable to use other contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy, like a condom. It is safer, enjoyable and harmless than a contraceptive pill.

I am trying to decide, when I hear someone honk and say, "Come on lady! Move your car!"
I yell back, "Give me a minute! I haven't decided!"
"I don't care, just drive," he says. Do I drive or let him go around me? Is this a sign that I should just go? I step on the gas.
It's been three hours. I wonder if my parents will notice that I am gone, or even care. The voice in my head replays the argument my mother and I had before I left.
"Are you ever going to become an adult?"
"Are you ever going to become an adult role model I can look up to?"
What would it be like if there were auditions for adulthood? You could either have a call back or not make the cut, which would mean you would have to wait for another production of "life." I probably won't make the cut, because my mom didn't rehearse the lines with me. If I tried to explain my relationship with my mom, it would sound like a cliché lifetime movie. My mother and I have a love/hate relationship: she tries to love me more and I try to hate her less.
Sure, my mom and I have had three or four mother-daughter moments.There was one time we went on a really fast roller coaster to the point where I thought we were going to be sick. In the end, we did get sick, but it was worth it. Another time on a family vacation, we went swimming in the ocean, and came out with seaweed all of over us. But all of that was before she found out that I was going to be the biggest disappointment in her life.
My dad and I don't really talk. I think I make him uncomfortable. I don't think he knows what to say to me or how to deal with me when I get myself into what they like to call an "anxiety headache situation." Whereas I like to call it "enjoying my youth," they interpret my every move as proof I don't give a damn about what I do with my life. But they don't know the real me. I am very organized and responsible when it comes to school--all my binders are on point. When it comes to my boyfriend, Jess, I make sure I make time for him, but not so much that I get behind and stray from my academic studies. I make sure all my college apps are in on time, and I still manage to make time to relax without stressing too much about my grades. But they don't think I am responsible in my studies, because I am not bringing home the grades they want to see, and I don't compare to their expectations. So she makes subtle comments that make me feel like shit.
My mom has always told me she would be proud of me in anything I do ... as long as I come home on the honors list and get into an Ivy League school. They always wanted me to be the perfect child who they could brag about to all their friends. Some people might think my parents just want more for me than they had in their own lives, but they had everything. They graduated from Cornell and became well-known lawyers. The day I come home with an acceptance letter from Dartmouth, they will be proud to call me their daughter, but until then, it's like they've disowned me.
When I was growing up, I would see my friend's parents tell them they loved them or hug them goodbye on their first day of school. I've never heard my mother or father say "I love you," not to each other or to me. On my first day of school, they wouldn't even walk me inside. They told me they had to get to work and I would have to go in alone and, "have a good day, see you at 2:30." I was like, "Okay great, I'm only in kindergarten, but I guess I will try to figure out when 2:30 is."
I get so jealous of my friends and their families, talking about stuff they did in school and actually being interested in each other's lives. When my friends come over for dinner, my parents interrogate them about their futures and then make disappointed comments..
Once my friend Julie was over, and my dad says, "Julie, have you started thinking about where you want to go to college, or what you want to do when you graduate?"
Julie says, "I haven't given it much thought...maybe doing some courses online and then traveling the world a little bit."
My mom chimes in, "That's what you want to do with your life?"
Julie's face turns bright red and she says, "Well, yeah. My parents think it's okay."
Under my breath I say, "Wish I knew what that felt like."
My parents roll their eyes and say, "Stop being so dramatic."
I stop and grab some gas before I keep driving. I turn around to grab my wallet and see my small carry-on bag on the back seat, with not many clothes in it and not many toiletries. I had to pack lightly, because I needed to leave quickly this morning. Even though I ran away and don't know what I am going to do, all I know is that there is no way in hell I am ever returning to that place I used to call my home. The day I packed my things, grabbed the car keys, and drove was the best day in my entire life.

Huge pike is biggest ever taken in England
The biggest ever pike caught from an English water has been landed at a weight of 46lb 11oz.
The historic specimen fell to the rods of Wyndon Coole during a day session at Wykeham Lakes near Scarborough and was just 2oz shy of Roy Lewis' 46lb 13oz record fish caught from Llandegfedd Reservoir in Wales in October 1992.
The North Yorkshire fishery first hit the headlines in November 2010 following the capture of a 39lb 15oz pike to a 17-year-old lure angler Jake Finnigan.
Wyndon then banked the fish at a weight of 45lb 14oz the following March before Andy O'Connor landed it just over a year later at exactly 46lb.
It then remained uncaught for almost two years leading many to speculate as to whether it was still alive until Wyndon caught it for the second time.
"I have been fishing the lake regularly since November and have had a number of double figure pike and one of 25lb over Christmas," he told Angling Times. "On my latest trip I'd been fishing for a couple of hours when the fishery manager told me he'd seen a decent fish in another area of the lake so I decided to up sticks and move pegs. There's a pike in the venue that was last caught at 30lb 10oz two years ago and going off the growth weights of some of the other fish it could well be a forty by now. This is the fish that I've been trying to catch and hoped it was the one that had been sighted."
The 58-year-old coach trimmer started off by presenting a trout bait in 8ft of water on a pair of size 4 Partridge X Strong trebles but then repositioned it in a deeper area slightly further out after hooking a couple of trout. The all-important bite came three hours later.
"It gave a good account of itself and I knew it was one of the lake's big pike. The fight was fairly straight forward and the only nerve-wracking moment was when the fish dived over a shallow shelf and I could feel the line grating. Once it in the net I recognised it as the same pike I'd had almost exactly three years ago."
With four witnesses present the initial weighing of the fish registered a record equalling weight of 46lb 13oz.
"The fish actually measured an inch and half longer than the last time it was caught and as such it carried the weight better and didn't look as fat as it did on previous captures. I got in touch with Trading Standards and their Weights and Measures department verified that my scales were weighing 2oz heavy giving a weight of 46lb 11oz.
Many experts now believe that 2014 could be the year that the British pike record – that has stood for over 21-years – will finally be broken. Former record holder Neville Fickling said: "This fish is by far the biggest known pike in the country and has demonstrated its ability to keep growing. If it gets caught again in the next few weeks then there's every chance it will break the British record.
Then of course you've got the Chew Valley Resevoir fish to consider as well. A lot of people had written the venue of and then it produced two different 40-plus fish during the predator trials last year. As a rule Chew generally produces its biggest fish during the February trials so it will be interesting to see what gets caught in the upcoming trials."
Wykeham Lake is a 7.5 acre former gravel pit with crystal clear water and depths down to 27 feet in places.
The venue is stocked with between 10,000lb and 15,000lb of trout per year, and on top of this a large head of coarse fish, especially rudd and perch, provide plenty of food for the Wykeham pike.
Pike fishing at the lake is now operated on an exclusive eight-man syndicate basis.

Ok, axle is swapped, now a vibration
Denver Metro area, I got my rear axle swapped out for an 8.8 and upgraded the front D30 to 4.88 gears. When I left the shop I noticed there was a bit of play in the axles and then a lot of vibration once I hit the highway. I pulled the rear driveshaft and drove it down the road a lil bit in front wheel and boom, no vibrations at all.
So now, after explaining that, I have 2 questions-
1) Should there be very much slack in the gears in the axle housings
2)How do y'all think I should go about fixing this problem? T-case drop, MML, SYE, etc?
Any help/suggestions is appreciated, and I will also take some suggestions on where to get work done as I am from no where near this area!
The vibrations are obvious. Your pinion angle is wrong.
If you pulled the drive shaft and the vibes stopped, that is a big "look at me". You need to reset the pinion angle on the rear axle. The easiest way is a transfer case drop and mml. An sye is the best way, but it opens a whole 'nother can of worms, you would STILL need to adjust the axle pinion, but by re-welding the perches, instead of spacers on the tc.(pinion angle vibrations are from the u-joints in the drive shaft out of sink and vibrating)
The slack... The amount of rotation you can do to one wheel before the other spins? The amount of in/out on the tires?
Shouldn't be much slack in the gears; are they howling or making any noise?
Like Jeepster said, it is your pinion angle most likely.
An alternative would be your drive shaft is out of alignment. This would pop up now because the higher gear ratio means everything is spinning faster to do the same speed as previous.
Who did the work?
Nevermind just saw your post on SFF.
Likely is your pinion angle. There should be some backlash in the gears but not a ton unless you put in auto lockers. Keep in mind the 8.8 offsets to the side as well as up/down. Your driveshaft may not like the new situation.
I'm doing a SYE(I know, should already have been done). The rear axle looks to be angled up towards the back of my Tcase already, so HOPING the sye fixes that.
The slack I'm talking about is in the axles, I can turn the D/s a bit before it stops. I haven't got to drive it much yet to find out if they are howling/whining. It's locked in 4wd righ now so I can still move it, but if I let off I can hear the slack clunk out in the front diff

"This is a great meal on a hot summer night. Tasty, easy to make, no oven required, just sear the shrimp and sauté the veggies and your done. You can do this earlier in the day, then throw it all together for dinner, or even a nice afternoon lunch. You can also switch out the shrimp and use chicken or scallops as well. Or double the recipe and use several choices for even more variety!"
Shrimp and Vegetable Salad
0 recipe photos
READY IN:30mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup sugar snap pea
- 1⁄2 lb fresh asparagus spear, trim the ends and cut into pieces, a couple of inches long
- extra virgin olive oil, to coat bottom of a medium frying pan
- 8 large fresh jumbo shrimp (or as many as you desire)
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 large tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 1⁄4 cup light sour cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon finely shredded lime zest
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground red pepper (or flakes if you really like things hot)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon rosemary
- 6 large bibb lettuce
- Bring some salted water to a boil and add the asparagus and pea pods. Cook only for a few minutes, until they turn a bright green color and are tender enough to eat, but still have a bit of crunch to them. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, salt and pepper the shrimp to taste and sprinkle with a light coating of paprika. Coat the bottom of a medium frying pan with olive oil and heat until hot, then add shrimp. Salt and pepper the other side and sprinkle paprika. Sear shrimp, then turn to sear the other side. Shrimp cook quickly, so this won't take long. Remove from skillet and set aside to cool.
- Mix the sour cream, lime zest, lime juice, rosemary and red pepper to taste in a bowl. Let sit together in the fridge for at least an hour or two, to allow the flavors to come together.
- When you're ready to serve, combine the veggies, shrimp, tomato wedges and sour cream mixture in a bowl and mix to coat everything evenly.
- Place 3 large lettuce leaves on each plate and place the shrimp and veggies in the center.
- Serve with some additional lime wedges if desired and a nice tall glass of unsweetened iced tea.
- It's the perfect meal for a hot summer night! We have lots of those here in South Florida, so I make this often, changing the shrimp to chicken or scallops.

Those who plan do better than those who do not plan even though they rarely stick to their plan.
~ Winston Churchill
As you may have noticed, the only certainty in life is change. Still, even in your "unplanned life", you need to START with a plan. Let me give you an example. You may not have planned on getting laid off or being in a position where you just needed to change your work environment NOW. But when you do, your mind automatically inserts into "What do I do now?" mode. Logically, like most people who have bills to pay and perhaps family members depending on their income for support, you start to formulate a plan of action. As far-fetched as you may deem your plan to be, it doesn't really matter how you start – it only matters that you start and figure out the rest along the way.
In my experience as a project manager in the world of finance (Investment Banking) for the last 10+ years, I've learned that the key skill sets of project management are transferable to all industries; and better yet, all walks of life! That is, it doesn't matter so much what the project is because big or small, the point is that you are answering the same questions, over time, in a different format. As project management becomes a more popular job function across all industries, the most wanted (and successful) project managers are identified in their ability to understand the entire process, adapt to change, and still successfully execute.
While the level of complexity will vary, I look to answer very few questions when addressing projects:
- What is the issue?
- Do I understand what the big picture is?
- Do I know what the key milestones are?
- Have I identified the inherent risks in the process and do I have a mitigating action plan for each?
- At what point do I escalate? Who are the sponsors (also known as stakeholders) to whom issues are reported?
Now using the questions above, let's use a real-life example. For reference, this scenario is truly a real-life scenario. While raising my daughter at the very beginning of her life, I went to school full-time at night (NYU), worked a full-time job in the daytime in order to attain my Bachelor's degree, and I was a single parent. Doing so for four years until graduation proved to be an extreme test of time management – that is, I absolutely needed to "project manage my LIFE"!
Question 1: What is the issue?
Answer: I need to go to class (directly after work), but the sitter I use to watch my daughter while I'm in school has cancelled. (Let's say you received word from your babysitter at 10 a.m. and class is at 6 p.m.)
Question 2: Do I understand the big picture?
Answer: I need to make alternate plans or inform my professor that I cannot attend,
Question 3: Do I know what the key milestones are?
Answer: I need to identify an alternate sitter no later than my 3 p.m. meeting. The deliverables from that meeting are due by the end of the day (5 p.m.). I will not have time to speak with anyone between the hours of 3 p.m. – 5 p.m.
Question 4: Have I identified the inherent risks in the process, and do I have a mitigating action plan for each?
Inherent Risk: It's possible that an alternate sitter is not available.
Mitigating Action Plan 1: I can inform my boss that I need to leave work early. I also need to e-mail my professor to inquire if I can bring my daughter with me to class.
Mitigating Action Plan 2: Email my professor, to inquire if she teaches the same class on a different day. The students in that alternate class would be receiving the same information.
Mitigation Action Plan 3: E-mail my professor and ask if she can send me the materials for review (last option).
Question 6: At what point do I escalate? Who are the sponsors (also knowing as stakeholders) to whom issues are reported?
Answer: NOW! The issue was presented at 10 a.m. At 10:10 a.m, I begin calling alternate sitters, leaving voicemails (if needed), inform my boss that is it possible that I may need to leave earlier, and also e-mail my professor.
The Outcome:
My professor emailed me back and confirmed that there is a Thursday night class that I could attend which would cover the same lesson plan. This option is perfect since I already attend classes on Thursday night, and my sitter would be available on that day. Just one more class for me!
The End Result (for "you" as an individual) – In ANY scenario
- You feel good about "proactive SELF"! You could have easily just given up, but you figured it out!
- The next time any difficulty arises, you will be mentally prepared to deal with the situation (no matter how chaotic it may seem)
- You've developed a relationship with an individual who can assist along the way (communication and transparency with "sponsors/stakeholders" are key)
Remember, our "plans" in life rarely go in the way in which we would like for them to go. As a matter of fact, if you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans! The "aha" moments are when we figure out that the process is leading us to our progress. Better yet, it the hardest journeys that push us to our ultimate potential! If there is one thing I know for sure, it is that our "unplanned lives" lead each and every one of us to our destiny. We just need to push ALL THE WAY through and learn from the lessons along the way.

No take out clip hole
A home owner from Henderson says:
April 2, 2014
My window has a round hole where the take out clip should be installed. Since I can not install take out clip 16-002, what do you use to hold the channel balance when you install a new one? How do you take out the old one if you have to replace it?
Paul from SWISCO responded:
April 3, 2014
Seems like a screw was used in place of an actual take out clip. This is a relatively common practice. It would pretty much serve the same purpose, except where you would just pop a take out clip in and out, you would have to fully remove the screw after balance replacement.

Eric Holder is the nominee for the Office of the U.S. Attorney General and who nominated him aside (Barack Obama did that), I'm mystified as to how it is that the U.S. Senate is even entertaining this man for any appointment. It speaks dreadfully about the lower ethical standards and dumbed-down or perhaps sickly lack of awareness in our Senate, and, if Holder is confirmed, it'll speak even more dreadfully from there.
Eric Holder's "involvement" in arranging payoffs with FARC (a terrorist organization of the same wretched sort as Al Queda) and Chiquita Company in Colombia is more than enough — or should be — for conscientious Americans to denounce Holder's deplorably poor judgement.
As also Holder's history arranging payoffs and other "deals" with the Puerto Rican terrorist group, FALN. Outrageous! The man could sit in an office in Cuba or Venezuela and still not be amidst those as service-ready to terrorist operations as Holder is.
Combine that with Holder's "involvement" in negotiating a Presidential Pardon for Marc Rich as former President Bill Clinton cavalierly caved to the deal is an equally outrageous statement about the poor judgement of Eric Holder, despite his wan apologies and back-tracking about the Rich pardon that's going on in the Senate today. About the Rich pardon and his work on that behalf, Holder has today become apologetic, conveniently, after being nominated by Obama to the A.G. position while he's had eight years to do so and hasn't gotten around to feeling poorly about that, so assuming is regrets are sincere on this date is desperately naive.
But returning to the FARC association by Holder, I am horrified — horrified — that our U.S. Senate would or could even begin to consider Eric Holder as Attorney General. Not to mention any President-Elect who'd nominate this person for the A.G. position, given Holder's trail of dubious deal-makings calling into very real question what his professional awareness of his own actions is.
I'm listening to media wherein Holder is being described as "a nice guy" who people "like" but so is satan. Not that Holder is satan but the office he's being considered for is to head our Justice Department and look at his "justice" history! Outrageous! And when did the Office of the Attorney General require the position be held by "Most Popular"? Are our law enforcement standards really this low today, such that ethics and professional behavior (or lack thereof) are subservient to one being "liked"?
If he's confirmed, this'll cinch the fearful slide of the U.S.A. into a Banana Republic. We'll be on par with every kickin' Third Worlder on the planet, dealin' with the terrorists and bein' "nice guys" who everyone "likes" while we have a Justice Department that is the ridicule of every terrorist — er, "mover and shaker" — the world over: need a deal? Ask for Holder.
But it's our Senate that wretches me more, that they'd entertain and now consider affirming this nominee for this particular office (Holder for the A.G. Office). Horrible statement about the worst-cast-Senate of absent ethics and dreadful amorality as ever could be imagined. Are we to now see FARC at State Dinners? Perhaps the Senate will give them an office for convenience sake, if not Holder welcoming them to the Department of Justice for lunch or tea.
I telephoned my two (very Liberal, Democrat) Senators (Boxer and Feinstein) with my objections and just as terribly as the situation itself of Holder's nomination, the two Senators' offices were non-plussed as to my concerns, particularly the D.C. office of Senator Dianne Feinstein, Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee — whoever took my call there appeared utterly uninterested in what I had to communicate. What HAS this nation descended into?

Edinburgh, United Kingdom (PressExposure) May 04, 2012 -- COLIN GALBRAITH'S second crime book of 2012 is an action-packed novella based on the Greek island of Rhodes, and is called GREENER IS THE GRASS.
When Jamie Tosh takes a summer job as a holiday rep on the Greek island of Rhodes, he has high hopes of changing his life for good. But paradise turns to hell, when days before his fiancee is due to fly out to meet him, a young girl is murdered in the hotel grounds - and he's the top suspect! With no way off the island and almost nobody to turn to, Jamie discovers that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
GREENER IS THE GRASS is Colin Galbraith's second crime offering in 2012. A novella inspired by an event on a family holiday in Rhodes, it is the quintessential read for all holidaymakers heading off this summer with their Kindle packed to go with them.
"The idea for 'Greener' came to me while on holiday in Rhodes a couple of years ago," explains Galbraith. "We experienced an earthquake that hit 6.3 on the Richter Scale, and one evening at the hotel a small child went missing for over an hour. One thing led to another and the book was born before I even left the island."
"It's the perfect book for your Kindle or e-reader if you're planning on going away this year," insists Galbraith. "It's an exciting read, and because it's located in the type of place many Brits will be flying out to, it'll be like living the book as it unfolds."
When asked why the new novella will only be available as an ebook, Galbraith said: "With the publishing industry expanding further into the word of ebooks, I'm delighted to continue connecting with more of my readers through digital formats."

Sometimes addressing an overwhelming educational and social problem can be as simple as giving a book to a child. It helps if the person giving that book is a soft-spoken young man, transformed into an extroverted clown version of Eshu, the West African divine messenger or trickster deity.
That's what Rodney Ware does.
His Reading Aloud Program (RAP), founded last March, is not officially funded; Ware relies on bookstores like Borders and Book Peddlers to supply books for book drives. Then, Ware gathers the books and delivers them to children living in low-income housing. During last spring's Athens Housing Authority Opportunity Fair, he gave away around 200 books. His goal, he says, is to distribute 2,400 books through next May, inspiring children to read through rap and hip-hop music, dance and art.
''Basically, RAP is working to provide low-income children with books they can call their own,'' Ware says. ''That's the essence -- I'm trying to help kids build their home libraries. I feel that the lack of home libraries is one of the critical factors in the reading gap between low-income and middle-class families. RAP is trying to bridge that gap.''
Ware, 27, grew up in Athens and graduated from the University of Georgia in 1999 with a religion degree. Now a library assistant at UGA's Main Library, he also sells religion books regularly at the J & J Flea Market. That's where the idea to form RAP originated, as parents would visit his booth and ask for children's books.
''I thought, how about if I sell the books at the flea market...and buy books for kids and give them away,'' Ware recalls.
His belief that ''children should be surrounded by books outside of the classroom'' -- that home libraries should be seen as a necessity, not a luxury -- may stem from his own childhood love of literature.
Help needed
RAP is in need of books, preferably new ones, to distribute. Ware suggests one way to help is to buy a gift certificate at any book store to donate to the program. For more information on how to help, call Ware at (706) 613-2328, or write to RAP at P.O. Box 1292, Athens, GA 30603-1292.
''The library was a major part of my life,'' says Ware, remembering his childhood in a low-income Athens east side neighborhood. ''Sort of like going to the circus...it was a way to let my mind travel without physically going anywhere.''
Now, as Eshu, Ware is able to introduce more children to a passion for books. In the process, he's able to pass along some cultural education; at the Opportunity Fair, a requirement for a book was for children to color in drawings of the African continent, congo drums and various African spiritual and artistic sculptural forms. As Eshu, he dresses in bright gold cloth, wearing hair that's a cross between explosive dreads and a rainbow clown wig.
And the very nature of his clowning transcends the norm.
''When I'm clowning, I'm really performing a spiritual ceremony. It's my form of worship to God, and at the same time I'm spreading laughter to the people,'' Ware says. ''I don't consider myself a clown for entertainment -- I'm a healing clown, a sacred clown,'' he adds, laughing.
''I think the children are just so enthralled by him,'' says Marilyn Appleby, director of marketing and communication for the Athens Housing Authority. She's also the chair of the United Way's Success By Six initiative, which in Athens prepares children and their parents in the Nellie B, Bethel Church Homes and Garnett Ridge neighborhoods for successful learning in school. Ware is a part of that program, too, bringing his love of books and reading aloud with him.
''Visually (as Eshu) he looks entertaining and just different,'' Appleby continues. ''But I think the attraction to him is that he does something different -- maybe something outside the box for most adults -- and children accept that.''
In the future, Ware says he'd like to hold a bi-monthly, multi-cultural book festival for children in low-income neighborhoods. And he plans to hold another book giveaway in August.
''Basically, I'm trying to shatter the myth that poor people are lazy, incapable of learning,'' Ware says.

EACH year the National Memorial Day concert in Washington is a poignant blend of music, dramatic readings and grainy black-and-white film of wars fought long ago and far away. Tonight's concert will also recall a day of infamy fresh in memory: Sept. 11, 2001.
The 90-minute event, broadcast from the West Lawn of the Capitol and shown on most PBS stations starting at 8 Eastern time, will honor the roughly 3,000 people who joined the ranks of the war dead on a late summer morning -- in Manhattan, in a field in rural Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon in Arlington, Va.
''There really hasn't been a national memorial service,'' Jerry Colbert, the concert's executive producer, said in an interview.
He wanted tonight's concert to be just that -- but he resolved that it not be an evening of unrelieved sorrow. ''You need reflection,'' he said. ''You also need celebration.''
And there will be, with the National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Erich Kunzel, and individual performers including Tony Danza, Joe Mantegna, the music group Chicago, the soprano Charlotte Church, the actress Heather Headley and Daniel Rodriguez, New York's singing policeman. The concert will open with a rousing ''God Bless America.''Continue reading the main story
Mr. Colbert has been producing the Memorial Day program for PBS since 1990. He estimates that over the years, 200 show-business personalities have performed on Memorial Day (and PBS's annual Fourth of July concert, also produced by Mr. Colbert) for a fraction of the money they usually command.
Until Sept. 11, Mr. Colbert said, concert organizers had planned to commemorate the Bataan death march, in which thousands of American and Filipino prisoners of war were either beheaded or died of thirst or starvation 60 years ago this spring, after the Philippines had fallen to the Japanese.
That anniversary will still be observed tonight. And so will the atrocities of last September, captured for all time on the hypnotically horrible videotape of the twin towers collapsing.
''Our goal was daunting,'' Mr. Colbert said. ''A recent hit song asks, 'Where were you when the world stopped turning?' and we knew that everyone has a different answer.''
Mr. Colbert was relaxing on Cape Cod that September morning. He said he knew at once that he had to find a way to honor the dead without causing new anguish.
In a sense, the need to commemorate Sept. 11 simply magnified the paradox that always surrounds Memorial Day. Meant to honor the country's war dead, the holiday is one of fireworks and parades as well as prayers. There are those who think that treating the day as a happy kickoff of the summer season is almost sacrilegious.
Mr. Colbert just turned 60, meaning he was born when the outcome of World War II was still in the balance -- around the time that some of the Bataan captives were dying, in fact. A onetime history major at Holy Cross College, he is still in awe of what his parents' generation faced, through Depression and war.
And one day last March, he was awed when he visited the ground where the World Trade Center once stood. ''It's so much bigger than any camera shows you,'' he said of the site known as ground zero.
Seeking inspiration on ways to remember what happened there without seeming to exploit it, he got help from some of the people who had suffered most. Bill Butler, Lee Ielpi, Dennis Oberg, John Vigiano, all former firemen who lost sons at the World Trade Center, let Mr. Colbert join them one day in March at ground zero as they searched for their lost sons -- two lost sons in the case of Mr. Vigiano, one a firefighter and the other a police officer.
The fathers will be recognized at tonight's concert. Their stories will be told through interviews, videotape and photographs. Former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani will also be there.
Two prominent Memorial Day performers, the actors Ossie Davis and Charles Durning, both World War II veterans, said it was altogether fitting and proper that the Sept. 11 victims be counted among the dead of America's wars.
Mr. Davis, who will be host for the ninth time, noted that many of the police officers and firefighters who died at the trade center site had deliberately run toward the danger. ''They deserve the same kind of tribute as those who serve in the armed forces,'' Mr. Davis said, calling the loss of life ''akin to the sacrifices for which we traditionally honor our soldiers on Memorial Day.''
When Mr. Durning heard of the terrorist attacks, the years just fell away. Watching the twin towers fall, he thought of the earlier day of infamy. ''More lives were sacrificed there than at Pearl Harbor,'' he said. Mr. Durning said he was overjoyed when he learned that Mr. Colbert had decided to honor New York City police officers and firefighters.
This will be Mr. Durning's seventh Memorial Day concert. He cares deeply about valor and patriotism, he said, but has never had any illusions about war. His father lost a leg in World War I and was exposed to mustard gas. He was unable to work again and died from the effects of the gas when his son was 12.
Mr. Durning fought at Normandy and in the Battle of the Bulge (wounded three times, he was awarded a Silver Star), and does not like to talk about what he saw and heard. Tonight he will read a vignette about World War II, hoping to get through it without choking up.
This Memorial Day may be even more emotion-laden than past ones for him. Mr. Durning recalled eating at Windows on the World now and then, savoring the view from atop the north tower as much as the food, and he finds it hard to believe that the restaurant is gone forever, like so much else.
And the horror of the Bataan death march touched his family. Patrick White, his mother's uncle, who worked on a plantation in the Philippines, survived the march itself but died in a Japanese prison camp.
Being host at the concert is ''a spiritual exercise'' for Mr. Davis.
''The value of the concert lies in the reminder of what wars are and what they cost,'' he said recently. ''We appreciate our heritage a little more when we start to consider what it means and what people have paid for it.''
Just as Pearl Harbor roused his generation, Sept. 11 may have stirred a similar resolve, Mr. Davis said. ''When Americans are deeply concerned, they become deeply committed, and when that happens great things are possible.''Continue reading the main story

Jim Carrey and former Playboy model Jenny McCarthy have split after five years together.
The 'Dumb and Dumber' actor, 48, and the 37-year-old model announced their break-up on their respective Twitter accounts last night.
Both parties insisted that the split was amicable and that they are hoping to remain friends and committed to Carrey's daughter.
Carrey wrote: Jenny and I have just ended our 5yr relationship. Im grateful 4 the many blessings weve shared and I wish her the very best! Sokay! ?;^> (sic).
Just seconds later, Jenny posted: Im so grateful for the years Jim and I had together. I will stay committed to Jane [Jim's daughter] and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart.
Jims representative Marleah Leslie confirmed, stating: Jim and Jenny have recently decided to end their five year relationship.
They are grateful for the many blessings they have shared and wish each other the very best.

A Father's Support – Father's Day at CJ's SKATEPARK
Jill Ellsworth
When Davis Gailitis was seven years old his mother gave him a penny board; after one good wipe-out he vowed never to look at a board again. 44 years later, this father of two will be spending Father's Day at CJ's tearing it up during the family skate session. Davis and his family started coming to CJ's in January of 2016 because his 12-year-old son Kai wanted to try out his scooter on some ramps. Davis' 9-year-old daughter Aija joined them on their second visit to the park. "She wiped out on her scooter, and in the next breath asked if she could learn to skateboard." Davis says.
Since then, Davis and his wife have been watching their kids get better and better at the sport, and recently got a little tired of sitting on the sidelines. "We are now a family of four who skates every Sunday at CJ's and we feel like we're part of the CJ's family." He says, adding that this is due to the friendly and supportive staff and other parents at the park.
Davis, like many of the parents at CJ's, is a big believer that parents should support their children in anything they do. "My kids know they have my support and they understand they will have it always." He says. "That means a lot to me as a parent because I never had that kind of support growing up."
Davis wants to remind people that skateboarding isn't necessarily a rebellious sport, and says it can be very rewarding to see your kids land a new trick after putting in hours of practice. Davis takes Kai and Aija to skate events throughout the community to support the scene and other riders. He's always encouraging them to try different tricks and learn from those around them.
Davis says he's really looking forward to being surrounded by his family this Father's Day at CJ's family skate session.
