RALEIGH — Wake Countys top prosecutor decided not to file charges against a Franklinton woman whose handgun misfired inside a Wake Forest Staples store late last week.
Wake Forest police on Friday announced that they expected to charge Danielle Hayes, 29, with failing to secure a firearm from a minor, a misdemeanor, after her 2-year-old son reached into her purse where she was carrying the gun and it went off at a Staples store Thursday evening.
District Attorney Colon Willoughby, however, said Hayes has a legal concealed-carry permit for the gun and was not in violation of the law, so no charges will be filed.
But after consulting with the Wake County District Attorneys Office, police decided not to charge Hayes at all, said town spokesman Bill Crabtree.
Hayes told police that when she noticed her son had his hands in her purse, she reached in to get hold of the gun and it fired one shot, hitting her in the right hand. The child was not injured.
Hayes was taken to WakeMed for treatment, Crabtree said.
Willoughby on Monday said he consulted with two other prosecutors who determined that the statute, storing firearm in a manner accessible to a minor, did not fit the conditions of the incident.
The statute is regarding the storage of a firearm by a person who lives in the same premises with an unsupervised minor, who then leaves the firearm in a place where in can be accessed by a minor, Willoughby said.
The district attorney pointed out that the incident did not happen at the womans home, but at a retail store and carrying it in her purse is akin to her having it on her body. Finally, he noted that the child was not unsupervised.
Willoughby said the incident would be similar to a person wearing a holstered gun and a child running up and putting their hands on the weapon, causing it to fire.
The law wouldnt apply, he said.

We make this recipe quite often. It is as good or sometimes better than the honey garlic ribs we get from our local chinese restaurant.

I was late to the running scene, so most of the running greats have only recently been introduced to me through books and media- and from hanging out with runners- in the last year or two.
Until last year, I had no idea who Steve Prefontaine, Roger Bannister, Frank Shorter, Katherine Switzer, Dick Beardsley, Grete Waitz-- you fill in the blank with your favorite runner-- were. In fact, it wasn't until shortly before the 2012 Olympics that I knew Galen, Mo, Meb, Shalane, and Kara even existed. 2012 was the first time I watched any Olympic runnning events. I also didn't know who first broke the 4:00 barrier in the mile until I read a book about it this summer. Seriously.
Don't shoot me-- when you're illiterate about society except what you can get your hands on to read for the first 23 years of life (and my father heavily chaperoned what I could read; Reader's Digest and Time Magazine were considered too eye-opening for our household), it takes a LOT of time to catch up on politics, current events, music, movies, art, football, and yes, running. After all, I'm only "7 in world years..."
Friday night at the big house in Rehoboth, pre-race, Bangle took me aside and presented me with this:
I remembered, when Bangle mentioned it, a post he had on Facebook soon after Boston of this year. He was attending a local Boston memorial/vigil for runners, and happened to meet a running legend there, Jacqueline Hansen. He approached her, spoke with her, and became Facebook friends with her. She lives in LA!
Bangle can correct me on the details if I'm not getting this right, but as I understand it Mrs. Bangle procured a few of these books several weeks prior to Rehoboth. She then messaged Jacqueline and asked if she could meet her to have them signed. Jacqueline agreed, and they met over coffee. One of the copies was for Bangle, and another one was for Bangle to give to me. I'm assuming Mrs. Bangle told her why she's signing a book for a random person in Pennsylvania; Bangle coaching me through my debut marathon, etc? Jacqueline signed the books, and mine says this:
Fast forward to Rehoboth Beach: like I said, I knew nothing about this woman. Bangle gave me a quick run-down of her; not just a running legend, but one of the early crusaders for women's rights in the running arena. Of course, that struck close to my own life experiences-- which is, I guess, why he was giving me this specific book to commemorate my first marathon.
I was pretty touched.To have Mrs. Bangle and Bangle do this for me...well, they're great and I love them both. Really, you guys rock.
Very early on race morning the next day, after I'd been awake for over an hour... I grabbed the book, left Quadracool soundly sleeping and tiptoed down to the kitchen. I spent the next hour reading the first few chapters. I was immediately intrigued and impressed, and I thought about Jacqueline frequently during my marathon. In a way, she helped inspire me enroute the finish line. And I reached the finish line in almost exactly the time I trained for, wildly happy and in love with the marathon distance.
When I got back home, I finished the book. And then I read it again. Bangle requested a report on the Loop, thus this bloop.
Jacqueline Hansen. She is one of my new heroes; I cannot get enough of this woman's story. I've researched and read and looked at pictures and race stats and her training logs from the '70s (on her website), and am amazed over and over.
She started her career by running track in high school. She was good at it, but not the best on her team; her coach informed her she wasn't a sprinter. At that time the longest distance for high-school girls was a quarter mile (!!). She went on to run track and cross-country in college as well. She loved distance, so after organized workouts, Jacqueline would meet with her teammate and best friend to see how far they could run on their own.
Jacqueline credits much of her discipline and drive early in her career to her post-college coach, Laszlo Tabori, a "disciplinarian-style" coach who believed in intense workouts (Hansen, 2013, p. 26). In 1971, she spectated as a friend and teammate Cheryl Bridges (mother of Shalane Flanagan) set the women's world record at the Western Hemisphere marathon, in 2:49:40. Bridges did so "illegally", because the women's marathon distance was not yet recognized. Jacqueline set her sights on completing that distance.
One year later, Jacqueline ran the Western Hemisphere as her debut marathon, with her two longest training runs being only 10 and 14 miles. She won it- WON the first marathon she entered, in 3:15.
She called it a "slow" time, and her first thoughts upon finishing were "never again" (Hansen, 2013, p. 33, 34). But before the awards ceremony was complete, she was already planning her next marathon. From the running journal she faithfully kept is this excerpt:
"Those last four miles are almost unbearable, particularly the last two. Up to 22, it seemed almost a relaxed seven-minute pace. Then the race began for four miles. And worth every sore muscle- a thousand times over." (Hansen, 2013, p. 33)
(If that isn't the marathon in a nutshell, what is?)
Jacqueline went on to win 12 of her first 15 marathons, including a Boston Marathon win as well as setting the women's marathon world record in 1974 with a 2:43:54. The following year, she ran the Nike-OTC in Eugene, Oregon with another world record of 2:38:10. The latter was also the first ever sub-2:40 women's marathon time. In 1978, she ran the AAU National 50 Mile Championships in Santa Monica College, CA, on a track! Jacqueline not only placed first in 7:14:58 at the 50 mile event, but upon completion, broke 11 intermediate world records at varying distances.
Jacqueline wasn't "just" a runner; she was a normal person, with a normal life. She married in 1977, and she gave birth to a son, in 1980. Two years after her son was born, she won the Catalina Marathon. In her memoir, you can tell that, although a disciplined runner, she also loved being a mother and was devoted to her son.
Since she personally knew/knows women like Joan Benoit Samuelson, Grete Waitz, Nina Kuscsik, and Cheryl Bridges, facts about them and their races are sprinkled throughout the book as well. Jacqueline's dialogue with and description of these women never indicates that they thought themselves celebrities. They just did what they loved and let nothing stop them. Jacqueline herself is modest when writing about her accomplishments; while reading, you almost miss the magnitude of her races unless you pay attention to the numbers.
Above and beyond her running talent is what Jacqueline did for women in running. She fought for the marathon. By 1976, the Olympic games still offered no distance longer than 1500 meters. In 1984, thanks to the publicity garnered by Jacqueline and other women like her, the women's marathon was finally added to the Olympics Games. It was fitting that the 1984 Games were held in her hometown of Los Angeles, California.
The heartbreaker in all this? Had this event been included in the 1976 Olympics 8 years earlier- maybe even 4 years- she would most likely have taken the gold medal, since her 1974 and 1975 marathon times were both world records. When the Olympic Trials took place prior to the 1984 LA Games, she competed, having qualified for the Trials at the Boston Marathon with a 2:47. But, by then there were younger and faster women who edged her out, including one Joan Benoit Samuelson.
In her memoir, Jacqueline did not express a smidgen of bitterness over having narrowly missed out on representing her country at the Olympics because the distance was unavailable in her heyday. Instead, she channeled her influence to pave the way, not only for the marathon, but later for the addition of the women's 5,000 and 10,000 meter Olympic distances. She was repeatedly blacklisted and opposed by people in power who resented her campaign, and she describes a couple of those instances in her book.
Apart from her own ambitions, Jacqueline poured herself into advocating something she didn't even get to participate in- but she knew someone else would. She considered the 1984 Games a personal triumph, stating: "As I watched this dream unfold... it occurred to me that young girls all over the world were watching Joan...knowing they, too, could grow up to be Olympic champions if they wanted..." (Hansen, 2013, p. 156).
I'm getting choked up just typing that ^ quote. Gritty, passionate, humble, determined, selfless, hard-working... There's a new goal near the top of my bucket-list: meet this amazing woman in person.
Joan Benoit Samuelson says, in the foreword of A Long Time Coming: "With the first Olympic Marathon for women now 30 years past, I am sometimes referred to as a 'pioneer' for having won that gold medal... But (I) gently point out... that our inaugural race was made possible by the efforts... of earlier women marathoners. They broke down the barriers of intolerance and indifference, starting long before 1984." (Hansen, 2013, p. 5)
In some way, I feel like I can relate to Jacqueline- NOT to her accomplishments or ability- let's be real, I'm a mortal middle-of-the-pack runner and she's won marathons and set world records. I'm not trying to compare myself to her- please, never.
But I can relate to the way she felt when trying to make her mark on the running world, and kept being tripped up by social roadblocks and opposed by naysayers. Much more monumental for her, of course; the fact that she was female was keeping her from racing a marathon in the Olympics when she could have won. For me, it was also about being female, as well as in a culture (Amish) that forbade participation in public sports- even something as simple as signing up for a local 5k. But for both Jacqueline and I, that "You Can't" knowledge frustrated, angered... and maybe in some ways, fueled?
Because when you're asked "why"....?
Why buck the norm?
Why push for change?
Why not just let it go?
Why challenge tradition?
Why want something few others want?
Why be different?
….you want to scream this to the world:
Because I love to run. BECAUSE I AM A PERSON!!!!
Not just female. Not just of a certain faith or ethnic group or color. But because you're alive... and strong... and a human being.
Jacqueline Hansen was gifted; she could run fast, and she could run far. She wanted to be able to run more than a mile; heck, she wanted to run 26... or 50! And she wanted every other woman on the planet to have that same right.
Because of Hansen and the other women-pioneers of her time, we girls from all over the world get to put on those pretty shorts or that running skirt... the Brooks shirt with the women's cut... the hot pink running shoes... and we get to go out there and compete on the very same turf as the guys. We can register for any distance we please. We are respected; we are never asked to leave based on our gender or skin color or faith. We get to represent our country at the Olympics, we get to break the tape in a win at a local marathon, we get AG awards, we set personal bests, we qualify for Boston, and we get a medal for finishing 26.2.
We are seen, not just as females, as PEOPLE. People who run. And we'd better not take that for granted.

A fantastic bloop. It's incredible what kind of differences exist in the world, between cultures and nations, ages and generations, genders, faiths, ethnicities and names. Your experience going from one worldview to another is something most of us can't understand. I hope I have the honor of meeting you in person some day so we can talk about some of these things.
Until that day, run on and keep reading!

Very nicely done
This was a great bloop, as usual. I kind of feel like you've revealed yourself to us today. (good thing?)
I kind of feel like you've revealed yourself to us today. (good thing?)
Revealed how? That I'm only 7 years old?
I love that you included citations in this blog post
I've not read this memoir, but I've read Kathrine Switzer's at least six times, and it always hits me too how lucky I am that I grew up after these pioneers came along and made it OK for me, a woman, to run more than a quarter freaking mile. It also makes me think about all the other things I have and can do -- veteran status in the U.S. military, an education, a job, the right to vote, ownership of property, control over if/when I have kids -- that not so long ago were completely unheard of.
I'm sure it feels even more poignant to you, having grown up Amish, since you know firsthand how it feels to be told "you can't!" just because of the whole being born female thing.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book! That was also a really cool thing the Bangles pulled off to commemorate your first marathon. I agree, they both rock!
Katherine Switzer's book is one of the next ones I plan on reading! As for citations... I discovered quickly in my online college classes that an easy way to get high scores on essays was to be diligent about citing sources; professors (and apparently journalists) are really fond of that.
What an appropriate gift for someone who broke with tradition to join the modern world and become not just a runner, but a really gifted one. You found a great coach and mentor in Bangle! And now I want to read that book. On a side note, the Western Hemisphere Marathon was also my first marathon (in 1970, I believe), and I was on the sidelines to watch the first Olympic Women's Marathon, won by Joan Benoit Samuelson. Thanks for the great review!

What I wouldn't give to time-travel to 1984!!
Well, I guess I did exist then... as a 1 year old.
I need to get that book- for me and the daughtz! Sounds like a great book.
I can probably get her to come to a Surf City Loop Party... She is very normal and genuine and nice - like all runners. So glad you loved the book.
I have to read this now. Thanks for sharing!
I ramble...
Thanks for sharing and the review. Leave it to Mr and Mrs Bangle to go above and beyond.
Great report Peg! What a wonderful gift, Bangle! I was blessed to be at the 1984 Olympics too, 83/84 was the only season of cross-country I ever did. I wish I had known more about the women's running scene then, I may need to read this as well.
Wow thanks for sharing. Katherine Switzer's Marathon Woman is my bible. I have read that at least 5 times. Usually when I am tapering for a marathon. I must get this one. Sounds like an awesome read!
Ah Peg, you got me choked up in another one of your fantastic bloops. Thanks for sharing this--I clearly need to read this book! It's pretty amazing how just a short time ago that it would have been absolutely insane that so many women are out participating in Pikermis and marathons. Luckily for our generation, it is completely acceptable! I know you had to leave a lot behind when you left the Amish, but I'm really glad that you made the right choice for you. Mostly because it's been pretty awesome getting to know you!
Great post! I bought Jacqueline's book at the Chicago Marathon expo and was thrilled to get it autographed by her as well. It's a terrific book. A very important woman in the journey of the women's marathon for sure!
What a great book review! Well done!
That just isn't nice
I liked this very much.
Powerful Blog Peg! This one moved me greatly and I am going to buy this book! You are a Pioneer and your times will only get faster. But I don't see your value thru your running. I see Your value thru the grit, determination, your are so good at all you do. I have said it before, but you are a great wife, mother, student, baker, crafts lady ( don't know what else you call a crafty lady), pioneer in your own time and a great runner! Your Children will blossom because of the risks you and your DH have taken. To walk from the chains that bound you and do the things you two have done is nothing short of inspiring Peg! You are a Hero in my eyes, as is your DH!
Great review of the book! Now I want to go and read it. Bangle has a heart of gold, so I'm not surprised his wife does too. Great post - very inspiring.

FGCU Softball Returns to Conference Play
FORT MYERS, Fla. – After splitting a doubleheader at FIU on Tuesday (Apr. 6), the FGCU softball team returns to conference play with a pair of doubleheaders this week. On Thursday (Apr. 8), the Eagles will host Campbell at the FGCU Softball Complex, and on Sunday (Apr. 11), the Blue and Green will travel to DeLand to play Stetson.
The Eagles (18-24, 6-4 A-Sun) knocked off the Golden Panthers of FIU, 10-4, in game one of a doubleheader on Tuesday (Apr. 6), before falling in the second game, 4-0. Mariah Fernandez (Cape Coral, Fla.) hit a three-run homer in the win, but FGCU was able to muster just two hits in the nightcap, both coming from Lauran Ziegler (Palm Bay, Fla.).
Courtney Platt (Greenville, Ohio) continues to lead the Atlantic Sun in home runs (nine), RBIs (28), and walks (33). Jessica Gary (Naples, Fla.) leads the Eagles with a .362 batting average, good for seventh in the conference. Gary is also tied for the A-Sun lead with Platt in total bases (74).
Campbell (15-19-1, 2-2) hasn't played since March 31, when they split a doubleheader at No. 22 North Carolina. The Camels won the first game, 6-4, before dropping the second game, 5-2. Sarah Forgacs ranks third in the conference with a .375 batting average and leads the team with 11 stolen bases. Lauren Stephan's seven home runs are tops on the team, to go along with 20 RBIs and a .316 average.
Stetson (20-17, 2-4) will host Campbell in a doubleheader on Saturday (Apr. 10) before the Eagles visit DeLand on Sunday (Apr. 11). The Hatters went 1-3 on their road trip last weekend, dropping both games at ETSU and splitting a doubleheader at USC Upstate. Amanda Lindsey leads the offense with a .343 batting average, six home runs, and 16 RBIs.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
An exclusive and luxurious mode of transportation, the speedy Roma Express takes you in style through the marvelous countryside to Rome. Upon arrival, you will board a comfortable coach for a superb introduction to the city's major attractions. See Colle Oppio, a hill overlooking the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, and continue on to The Church of St. Peter in Chains, believed to contain the saint's prison chains. Inside you can admire Michelangelo's statue of Moses holding the Ten Commandments. Another must-see is the Colosseum, the largest amphitheater ever built in Rome. It was originally called the Flavian Amphitheater to honor the Royal Family Flavia, who built it. Construction started under the Emperor Vespasian in 72 A.D. and was finished during the reign of the Emperor Titus. Enter the site where Romans enjoyed spectacular shows of gladiatorial combats, fights with wild beasts and bloody games. The amphitheater once held as many as 50,000 people, who would watch the gruesome games, while slaves and criminals were killed for entertainment. The tour continues in the Roman Forum, the religious, political and commercial centre of ancient Rome. Walk through the Sacred Way, along which victorious generals marched in triumph to the Curia. Also, see the altar where the body of Julius Caesar was cremated and from which Marc Anthony made his famous speech. Navona Square, one of Rome's most famous and centrally located, offers a perfect setting for lunch on your own. Afterwards, it's on to St. Peter's Square and St. Peter's Basilica, begun in 1452 on the site where St. Peter was buried. Throughout the following 200 years, such masters as Michelangelo, Raphael and Bernini worked on its design and created an unparalleled masterpiece. Admire the astonishing beauty of Michelangelo's most famous sculpture, the marble Pietà, and the marvelous bronze canopy over the high altar by Bernini. Everywhere you turn, the sights are amazing.
Please note: In case St. Peter's Basilica may be closed during religious celebrations, guides will give commentary from outside. Guests will be required to wear suitable attire covering the knees and shoulders for the visit inside the Basilica. No shorts, sleeveless tops or other revealing clothing will be permitted.

Boundary extension a 'non-runner'
By Niall Murray
PLANS by Cork city manager Joe Gavin to extend the city boundary significantly into Cork County Council territory will never gain Government approval, a local Fianna Fáil TD warned last night.
Noel O'Flynn, a former member of Cork City Council, said the plans were far too big and should be rejected by city councillors.
The report outlining the proposed expansion of the city's administrative area beyond Douglas and Cork Airport to the south, east as far as Little Island, north to Killeens and Rathcooney and west to Waterfall and Ballinora, will be put before Cork City Council members for approval tonight.
However, Mr O'Flynn said, any such move will never get the green light from central government, which would have to rubber-stamp any boundary extension.
"It's a completely ill-conceived idea, the city manager must be losing the run of himself. I believe the proposal will get no support in its current form from the Government,†he said.
The proposed extension is likely to face strong opposition from Cork County Council members, who are expected to seek a debate on the proposals at their regular meeting this morning, although it is not scheduled for discussion.
The initial reaction from some county councillors when details of the City Hall plans emerged at the weekend was one of outrage, with warnings that relations between neighbouring authorities could be soured if the proposals are pursued by Mr Gavin.
However, he insists that the city must be allowed to grow physically to act as a counterweight to the development of greater Dublin.
The plans he will present to councillors tonight would increase the city's population from less than 120,000 to 180,000.
Praxiteles wrote:Just like the Reichstag in 1933. No one opposed the little man's rise and Hindenburg had little option but to bring him into government in the vain hope of taming him. It did not take him too long, however, to start making ultimatums....
Spinal Tap wrote:All the stupid invalid historical references on this site should be deleted as the are distracting from the debate.
Cork City needs the boundary extension a sthe last one was in 1966 and the parish pump political response from some of our county councillors is akin to a Ballymagash or Kilnascully farce.They are not acting in the citizens of this City or County's interests for proper and ordered future planning between the 2 duristictions.
I am sure that this argument will run on for a while whilst they play to the galleries but at the end of this process they will have to agree an extension or else the Government of the state will do it for them.

Bridging the Divide
At many hospitals, the division between patient and retail foodservice is quite distinct; there are different staffs, production cycles and menus. At the 450-bed Truman Medical Center, the foodservice department, which is managed by Morrison Management Specialists, is piloting a concept that erases the line between patient and retail operations, with a concept called Blossom on 3rd.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—At many hospitals, the division between patient and retail foodservice is quite distinct; there are different staffs, production cycles and menus. At the 450-bed Truman Medical Center, the foodservice department, which is managed by Morrison Management Specialists, is piloting a concept that erases the line between patient and retail operations, with a concept called Blossom on 3rd.
Blossom on 3rd, located on the hospital's third floor, combines an on-demand dining (room service) patient model with a retail outlet. Patients can order food from Blossom in several ways. They can call the café and place their order, which is then delivered by a floor steward. Patients can also place their orders with a floor steward when he or she visits the patient's room. Floor stewards carry computer tablets to record patient meal selections and to place the order. Ambulatory patients can also go to the café to order their food, choosing to eat their meal in the café or take the food back to their rooms.
"If you think about foodservice at a hospital, typically what you see is one group that makes the patient food and another group that makes the food for the retail platforms," said Jim DeVos, vice president of marketing and strategy for Morrison. "What we tried to do with Blossom is take that line and really erase it. Everybody eats the same food."
Hospital staff and family members of patients on the third floor can also order meals from Blossom by visiting the café and ordering
food like at a traditional retail concept.
Destination dining: "We are trying to create a different venue with Blossom," said Jack Lawless, division vice president with Morrison. "It's like destination dining without having to leave the building. Part of the strategy for us is to reach different audiences who are not participating in our retail programs to begin with. We hear that a lot of staff don't have time to come down to the cafeteria and that's part of the benefit with Blossom because we can bring the experience closer to them."
The name Blossom came from creating this dining experience for patients, according to DeVos. "By having this concept where everybody was eating the same food, we felt like it would be a way to really elevate the perception of the food that we were serving to the patients by serving it to everybody," DeVos said. "When we started to explore names, we started thinking about how this engages patients on their journey back to health. We wanted this to be a place that by virtue of making patients feel normal and giving them normal and human experiences with great tasting food that they would blossom."
Lawless said, so far, that has been achieved. Three weeks after starting Blossom, patient satisfaction scores rose from the 80th percentile to the 99th percentile.
Blossom, which is 1,150 square feet, was constructed in an old visitors' lounge. "If you go into most hospitals, probably the loneliest space on the floor is the visitors' lounge," DeVos said. "Hospitals are focused on patients, so the visitors' lounge typically has [only] chairs and a TV and nobody goes in there. What our partners at Truman allowed us to do was take a visitors' lounge on the third floor and convert it into a [kind of] mini Panera Bread."
DeVos said the décor and lighting are similar to what is found at a Panera Bread-type concept. Blossom uses a lot of warm green and brown colors and the woods are warm brown with a hint of red. "It's a very calming type of environment," DeVos said. "Blossom is distinctive from the rest of the hospital. When you walk into this space you feel like you're in a different place. Blossom is on the floor, but it's not necessarily an extension of the floor."
Digital signage is used in Blossom to denote what is being served for the current meal period. For customers who don't want to wait for a meal to be prepared, there is a grab-and-go cooler with sandwiches and salads.
Because Blossom is on a patient floor, DeVos said the hospital had concerns about noise and smells coming from the café. To alleviate those concerns, Blossom was closed off by doors. "Before we went full board with the construction, we did some noise and smell testing," DeVos said. "We brought up some induction cookers on the floor and tested the cooking part to see if we would have an issue with that. It's not really loud
and the doors tend to deaden the sound."
While DeVos said he understands the need to have Blossom behind closed doors, he said he prefers a more open design. "Because there isn't a lot of noise or cooking smells, we've had to do a lot more directional signage so that people can find it," he added.
Menu development: According to DeVos, one of the main elements of Blossom on 3rd is that the menu, which is the same for both patient and retail customers, can be cooked to order. "What we really wanted to be able to do is do freshly prepared food that would serve patients, staff and visitors at Blossom," DeVos said. "We wanted Blossom to really help patients on the road back to humanity. If you think about a patient's journey, it goes from horizontal to vertical. As a patient, it's better as they progress back to health that they want to assume more and more control over their environment, and hospitals are not naturally conducive to that sort of desire."
DeVos said that while Blossom's design is borrowed from a Panera, the menu is much different. "We're not a soup and sandwich kind of place," he said. "Our menu is much broader. You can get pot roast, mashed potatoes and fresh green beans."
There is a small production kitchen at Blossom, with TurboChef ovens, panini presses, induction burners and microwave ovens. DeVos said the menu was created so that a ventilation system would not be needed because installing that system on a patient floor would require more money and construction. Some of the food is cooked in the main
production kitchen and is rethermed and finished in the Blossom kitchen. Other food is prepared fresh. For example, an Asian stir-fry is offered at Blossom. The stir-fry components are prepped in the main kitchen and transported to the third floor, where the dish is cooked to order.
"Blossom is located pretty close to an employee elevator and to the main kitchen downstairs," DeVos said. "We've got refrigeration, storage and a small freezer at Blossom. We try to stock for what we'll need that day."
Future prospects: The patient aspect of Blossom opened in December 2009 and the retail portion opened in April 2010. DeVos said the third floor was selected for the pilot because it's a challenging floor—the patients are fairly sick—and if the concept worked well in difficult environment then it would work well on other floors.
DeVos said a large number of patients order meals through the floor stewards rather than calling in orders or coming to Blossom. He said this is function of the patients' acuity on the third floor. "The patients are fairly sick when they are admitted," he said. "What happens over time is that they get better and we see them at Blossom more. Our feeling is that if the concept works on a floor where you have patients who are sicker, then it will work well on a floor where you have patients who are more mobile, like a new moms' floor."
There is seating for 10 at Blossom, which DeVos said is enough for the third floor due to the acuity of the patients. He said that on other floors, like an obstetrics floor where the patients are more active, more seating will be needed.
Both DeVos and Lawless see the Blossom concept expanding. "The thing that we've always found in hospitals, if you look at the number of people going through the main dining area versus the number of people in the hospital that day, there is clearly an opportunity for growth in terms of capturing a greater percentage of the house," DeVos said.
In the few months that the retail aspect of Blossom has been open, DeVos said that sales in the main cafeteria have remained constant, suggesting that the sales picked up at Blossom are new customers.
DeVos said Blossom is not overstretching its resources by offering service to one floor, and envisions a Blossom-type concept on every other floor if the pilot were to expand hospital wide. "I really think the value of Blossom is going to be using it as a whole-hospital solution because there are lots of economies that you can gain with it," DeVos added.
While Lawless believes the concept can be expanded, he said the need for a main cafeteria will always be there. "I think that there will always be a larger central dining space," he said. "[The main cafeteria] may be scaled down, but it will always be there and offer a little more variety."

Ruble passed away on Sunday at UAB Hospital. He was 52.
"Three days after the tornadoes struck in 2011, Richard Ruble volunteered to help Walker County recover. From that day until his untimely death, Richard had a burning passion to help the survivors of the storm," said Paul Kennedy, one of Ruble's peers on the Long Term Recovery Committee. "Richard used his lifetime of knowledge about project management, construction and supervision to facilitate the restoration of hundreds of damaged and destroyed homes, coordinated thousands of volunteers hours, administered millions in material aide and did whatever it took to bring hurting individuals back to the place where they are safe and secure. It was his passion and ministry."
Kennedy added, "It would be my fervent prayer that Richard was greeted in Heaven with the simple phrase 'well done good and faithful servant.' We have lost a friend and the county has lost a selfless volunteer and advocate."
Earnie Burfitt, chairman of LTRC, repeatedly used the word "instrumental" in describing Ruble's contributions, particularly in Cordova.
"He was always willing to help. He's been instrumental in getting us to the point where we are in recovery from the storms. He will be greatly missed," Burfitt said.
Last year, Gov. Robert Bentley recognized Ruble for his efforts regarding recovery with a proclamation.
Even in death, Ruble chose to help those in need. Because he was an organ donor, three people were given a second chance at life.
Among Ruble's survivors are his wife, Belinda Ruble; children, Richie Ruble (Demi), Sara Ruble Manasco (John) and Brandon Scott Ruble; and grandchildren, Claire Margaret Ruble and another granddaughter yet to be born.
Ruble was a member of Jasper's First Baptist Church.
Services will be held today at First Baptist Church at 7 p.m. Visitation will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the church.
A graveside service will be held on Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Oak Hill Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to the First Baptist Church Building Fund or the Walker Area Community Foundation's Unmet Needs Fund.

CATEGORIES MoviesWant to make a Gen Xer feel old? Tell 'em that 20 years ago today, on February 14, 1992, "Wayne's World" was released in theaters. ("'Wayne's World' is 20? No way?!" "Way!") Lots of now middle-aged folks who spent too long living in their parents' basements (like Wayne and Garth) have fond memories of what may be the funniest film ever spawned from a "Saturday Night Live" sketch, a film that made a bankable movie comedy star out of Mike Myers, introduced the world to Tia Carrere, helped rescue Rob Lowe's career, and spawned countless catchphrases that viewers couldn't stop repeating. ("Schwing!" "We're not worthy!" "That's what she said!") Yet behind the movie's blissful silliness lies a secret story of off-camera bitterness and strife that threatened to keep the film from partying on -- as you'll read below.
1. Myers created the Wayne Campbell character long before "SNL," when he was still in high school. He appeared as Wayne on various Canadian comedy series during the 1980s, including "It's Only Rock & Roll" (See clip below.)
"Wayne's Power Minute
2. By 1991, the popularity of the sketch had led to a greenlight for a movie at Paramount, but who would direct? Penelope Spheeris -- whose ties to "SNL" went back to the first season, when she helped Albert Brooks make his filmed sketches -- campaigned hard for the job. The daughter of a carnival owner and strong man, Spheeris had made a name for herself directing "The Decline of Western Civilization," a series of wry documentaries about rock musicians. She was working on a documentary about serial killers while pleading with Paramount and "SNL" guru Lorne Michaels for the change-of-pace gig.
3. According to a Vanity Fair expose published in 2000, Myers initially didn't want to take sketch co-star Dana Carvey along to play Garth on the big screen because he feared being upstaged by the more established comedian. Carvey has disputed that claim. Talking to Entertainment Weekly in 2008, Michaels said the tension between the two funnymen had been "overstated" but added, "That isn't to say they're not both comedians and that occasionally there's not some disagreement over who should be speaking what."
4. Before landing a starring role as Cassandra, Wayne's aspiring-rock star girlfriend, Tia Carrere had done a two-year stint on "General Hospital" and had made TV guest appearances on both action series and sitcoms. After bit parts in such testosterone-heavy movies as "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man" and "Showdown in Little Tokyo," she was offered a role on the hit show "Baywatch," but she turned it down to audition for "Wayne's World."
5. Rob Lowe, still seeking career rehab after his 1988 video sex scandal, played against type as a comic villain. The casting worked a little too well, and Lowe would spend the rest of the decade in similar parts, in "Tommy Boy" and all three of Myers' "Austin Powers" movies.
6. Lee Tergesen, who played Terry, Wayne and Garth's cameraman, made his film debut in "Wayne's World." Later, he'd become best known as one of the stars of HBO's "Oz."
7. Myers' girlfriend, Robin Ruzan, was cast as a waitress. They'd marry in 1993 and divorce in 2006.
8. Myers and Spheeris did not get along. Myers was a perfectionist who tended to lash out when he didn't get his way. Sometimes, that lashing out would take the form of petty tirades, such as excoriating an assistant for bringing him a bagel with butter instead of margarine. "He was emotionally needy and got more difficult as the shoot went along," Spheeris told Entertainment Weekly in 2008.
"Wayne's World" -- "Bohemian Rhapsody"
9. The famed "Bohemian Rhapsody" sequence, with Wayne and Garth and their pals driving around, lip-synching and headbanging to the classic Queen tune, marked an especially fractious moment between star and director. "You should have heard him bitching when I was trying to do that 'Bohemian Rhapsody' scene," Spheeris recalled to Entertainment Weekly. "'I can't move my neck like that! Why do we have to do this so many times? No one is going to laugh at that!'"
10. For his part, Myers had nothing but kind words for Spheeris, at least by 2008. He gave a statement to Entertainment Weekly, saying, "I'm incredibly grateful for Penelope Spheeris' contributions on 'Wayne's World.' Some 17 years later, the movie is still a bright highlight in my professional career."
11. One thing that was causing Myers anguish during production: his father's deteriorating health. Eric Myers had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1987 and died in late 1991, before "Wayne's World"'s first positive test screening. "Mike had this desire to make his father proud of him,'' said Deepak Chopra (a Myers friend), to Entertainment Weekly. ''I think one of his tragedies is that he was never able to do that because his father passed away before he became such a huge phenomenon.''
12. For all the turmoil on the set, filming took just 34 days.
"Wayne's World" -- Wayne and Garth Meet Alice Cooper
13. Gary Wright re-recorded his '70s track "Dream Weaver" for the film. The particular use of that song, cued up as a running gag whenever Wayne looks longingly at Cassandra, became a common cliche in movies whenever a guy would stare at a hot chick.
14. "Bosom Buddies" star Donna Dixon had a memorable role as Garth's dream girl. Except for a bit part in 1994's "Exit to Eden" (starring her husband, "SNL" alum Dan Aykroyd) and another cameo in Oliver Stone's "Nixon" as John Dean's wife Maureen, "Wayne's World" was her last major film role to date.
15. Upon its release, the movie's soundtrack shot to No. 1 on the Billboard chart. Spheeris shot a music video for "Bohemian Rhapsody," incorporating footage from "Wayne's World," and the song rocketed to No. 2 on the chart, some 16 years after its initial release, and just a few months after Queen frontman Freddie Mercury's death.
16. The movie cost a reported $14 million to make. It earned $122 million at the box office.
"Wayne's World" -- Trailer
17. Almost immediately, a sequel went into production. Myers, who had earned a reported $1 million to co-write and star in the first film, saw his fee nearly quadruple, to $3.5 million. Nonetheless, "Wayne's World 2" (1993) wasn't nearly as big a hit, topping out at $48 million.
18. "Wayne's World" had been the first movie based on an "SNL" sketch since 1980's "The Blues Brothers." Its success launched a wave of "SNL"-derived movies that lasted throughout the '90s, including such films as "Coneheads," "It's Pat: The Movie," "Stuart Saves His Family," "A Night at the Roxbury," "Blues Brothers 2000," "Superstar," and "The Ladies Man." To date, however, "Wayne's World" is by far the biggest hit of all "SNL" movies.
19. Myers was set to turn another one of his SNL characters, dour German "Sprockets" host Dieter, into a film, but in 2000, he pulled the plug on the project at the last minute, saying he didn't want to make a subpar movie based on an "unacceptable script" (even though he was the screenwriter). Universal sued him for $30 million, he countersued for $20 million, and the whole mess was settled with Myers agreeing to make another movie for the studio, which turned out to be 2003's dreadful "The Cat in the Hat."
20. "Wayne's World" spawned a Nintendo video game in which Wayne must travel through various Aurora, Illinois locations from the film in order to rescue Garth, who's trapped in the "Zoltar the Gelatinous Cube" arcade game referred to in the movie.
21. Spheeris had mixed feelings about the movie's success. "I spent so many years being told that I could not do a comedy because I'd done these dark, hard-edged pieces," she told the New York Times in 1992. "Now I've proved I can do a comedy. And now people are saying, 'I don't know if you can do anything with a serious edge to it.' Twenty years of that reputation just blown out of the water by one movie."
22. Indeed, Spheeris became the go-to director for TV comedy franchises being adapted into movies, first with "The Beverly Hillbillies," then "The Little Rascals." She also directed another "SNL"-related comedy, "Black Sheep," starring the sketch comedy show's Chris Farley and David Spade. But she also went back to documentaries, including another installment of "The Decline of Western Civilization."
23. She blamed Myers for keeping her from getting the job directing "Wayne's World 2," but Spheeris eventually made her peace with the comic after being blown away by his work in the "Austin Powers" movies. "You can be moody, you can be a jerk, you can be things that others of us can't be," she said of Myers, "because you are profoundly talented. And I forgive you."
"Wayne's World" Redux -- "Saturday Night Live," February 2011
24. Myers and Carvey reprised the characters twice more in recent years: once at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards, and once on a February 2011 "SNL" episode hosted by Carvey. Talking to TMZ last month, Carvey joked he'd be up for making a third movie, provided that Wayne and Garth finally aged. "If they want, we can play 'em in their 50s," Carvey said. "'Wayne! My prostate's enlarged!'"
25. Having honed her reality-competition chops on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," Carrere will be seen vying for Donald Trump's favor on the new season of NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice," starting next week.

Skagway we rented a car for a drive up to Canada which went really well. There are limited amount of cars available and would plan ahead if this is for you. Juneau we did whale watching with a private company on a small boat, there were five of us, which was the high-lite of the trip. Self guided tour in Ketchikan which was also easy as they have a free bus that loops around the tourist area. Disembarkation was easy in Vancouver as we carried our luggage off for a transfer to the rental car agency and drive down to Seattle.
A few pointers, rental car rates in Anchorage are cheaper downtown versus airport due to taxes. Our first time with Princess and missed the 24 hour ice cream that we had on Carnival. Scenic trip on The Alaskan Railroad down to Seward was great for viewing wildlife and snow covered mountains. Overall "Great" time as we had very little rain and can't wait to go back.

|MAC Gym fall sport scheduling begins
|Wednesday, August 28, 2013 2:10 PM
ANTWERP – The new school year brings new sports opportunities at the MAC Gym. This fall there will be basketball opportunities for boys and girls players, girls volleyball and cheerleading.
The season begins with nationally renowned Tom Norland and his Swish 22 basketball shooting clinic. Norland will be flying in from a west coast clinic before heading back to Canton, Ohio. One day shooting sessions will be offered on Sept. 5-6.
Saturday morning will bring teams for both sixth grade and under and a new fourth grade and under team volleyball league. Ten teams have already signed up with over a week left before the deadline and scheduling begins.
The basketball courts will be full this fall as we reach out to every school age child. Boys and girls will have the opportunity to participate in five different leagues: grades K-2, grades 3-4, grades 5-6, grades 7-8 grade and varsity 9-12 grade. The leagues are primarily set up for student athletes that are not already participating in a fall school sport. The leagues allow players to keep a ball in their hand to work on fundamentals while working against some viable opponents. All junior high and high school teams will be divided up per OHSAA sport regulations, with no more than two athletes from any school, on the same team.
Sundays bring a full day of events to the gym. Individual signups are being accepted for junior high girls, junior high boys, high school girls and high school boys teams. All the leagues will run for six weeks, including league ending tournaments. This will give the players a couple weeks off before winter seasons officially begin.
Monday evenings, the gym will play host to 3-4 grade and 5-6 grade girls basketball. Tuesday will be the same age groups for the boys.
Wednesday evening events are through gym partner K&S Tumblefit.
Thursday evening is the only evening with coaching as they bring boys' teams to play. Sixth grade and under teams from the area have signed up to participate in the league. Thursday will also play host to the new boys' and girls' K-2 league. The new 8-foot rims and smaller 27.5" basketballs, purchased with an Paulding County Area Foundation grant, will be put to use for the first time.
Saturday, Oct. 19 and 26 will bring volleyball tournaments to the MAC. A junior girls' tournament will be sponsored by the Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church on Oct. 19. Eight teams will battle for the second annual crown.
Oct. 26 brings a new tournament – a sixth grade and under "pumpkin smash" volleyball tournament will be held.
The fall season events will conclude with a preseason boys' basketball tournament Nov. 2, a cheerleading competition Nov. 9, and boys' and girls' "Black Friday" mini-tournaments on Friday, Nov. 29.
All event information, entry forms, and rules can be found at www.macgymohio.com or by calling 419-506-0108.

"The Walk" continues ... East Coast to West Coast
Because You Get What You Measure...
While our attention, as a nation, is largely focused on increasing GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and other economic measures, the following is true and, in our opinion, does not reflect a society that is on a genuine pursuit of happiness.
Our walk and our conversations have taught us SO many things, including:
1. Our relationships and caring for one another matter most*
2. Talking about happiness makes us happiness
Everyone wants happiness. Happiness is a universal desire. Happiness is our common interest. Happiness strengthens households, workplaces, communities and society. Happiness even saves money. The purpose of our public systems and institutions is to serve that pursuit or practice of happiness.
Our dream to walk across the nation, from coast-to-coast, to talk about this important topic will become a reality beginning July 2014 as we engage on a 2-3 year series of walks. Watch for us; we may be in your neighborhood!
*also heard: family, making others happy, service, our pets, nature, freedom, education, health, faith, music, opportunity, and more. The data is being analyzed and, as we walk, added to...accumulating toward a collection of stories that reflects more and more the American spirit and finds our commonality, with the power to significantly shift decision-making at all levels.
We humbly request your support to traverse the USA on foot, walking 7,500 miles over two years... for the happiness and wellbeing of all! Please click here to make a donation.
Our Blog, on Facebook and Twitter
We can rediscover what matters to us.
We can rediscover our right to a
genuine pursuit of happiness.
Let's measure what really matters...
the vitality of our communities, our physical and mental health,
our education, our relationship with the environment, our work and family-lives, our spirituality and culture, honest and transparent governance, how we use our time and the security that comes
from a comfortable standard of living.
We walk because the policies and practices of our systems and institutions, and especially of our government, must
support and uphold, not undermine or detract from,
our basic right to the pursuit of happiness, and the right of future generations to that pursuit, as well.

We don't live in Hawaii where this particular picture was taken, but this is my fantasy of a perfect summer day…
Hi everyone!
I miss being here! It's been too long. I've been super busy preparing to teach my first ever Social Media workshop at the University of Washington. It's a big deal for me because I'm going out of my comfort zone—way out! I've been creating: writing, editing, and social media posts at www.LizNordCreates.com (while still working a little at RGN). I'm using the blog in lieu of textbooks, and I have lots of entertaining and informed authors, artists, business owners, life coaches, etc., who are contributing great stuff there.
Today I posted a piece by Jenna McCarthy, who wrote, If It Was Easy They'd Call the Whole Damn Thing a Honeymoon. You have to check out her book. She is so funny (in a slightly naughty irreverent way.) Anyway, I like the idea of using a blog instead of textbooks for the class because, let's face it, social media is changing faster than books can be written. It's been really fun getting ready to teach this class! I've also created some STRESS for myself by probably going way overboard in preparing for the class, but I'd like to give the students' their moneys worth (and not sound like an idiot).
Really, I just wanted to write a quick note here to let you all know that I'll be back in action writing here soon. I have lots of topics to cover both good and questionable :) (tweens, women weirdness, life priorities, rural vs urban living, acceptance of what is, body dysmorphia, being grateful, Fifty Shades of Grey (have you read them? What do you think?), looking down the long road of life, and my thoughts on the power of turning forty—that's just to name a few). I'll get back to writing just as soon as my workshop is over, which is next weekend. Wish me luck!
On another note, our kids last day of school was yesterday. The end of a school year is always bitter sweet for me. On the one hand, I LOVE having the kiddos home with me to bond, but on the other hand that means they are another year older. Time is going by WAY too fast. Where did the time go? It makes me a little sad and nostalgic. I've been overly emotional over the fact that they are getting older. (Let's get real too—I absolutely without a doubt love staying home with the kids all summer, but it's a wee bit harder for me to get any writing/work done.) Oh, the contradictions…Such is life.
I look forward to being back real soon.
Hope you are enjoying the sunshine!
P.S. If you have any specific topics you want us to cover here, please shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Happy Friday!

Athlete of the Week: Blake Morrow
Date: February 14, 2013
by: Jen Blanco | Sports Editor
Sarasota Christian School freshman point guard Blake Morrow finished with 28 points, seven assists and six rebounds to lead the Blazers to a 71-56 victory over St. Petersburg Canterbury in the Class 2A-District 9 championship Feb. 8.
Morrow has scored 474 points this season, leading Sarasota Christian to a 20-7 record and its second-consecutive district title.
Morrow will lead the Blazers into the Class 2A-Region 3 quarterfinals versus District 10 runner-up Southwest Florida Christian Feb. 14.
"I like the feeling of the game. You can become good if you work hard every day and do the things you need to do to become good.
I think we knew coming into the game that we were going to win. We beat them by 60 points the last time we played them. We had that mindset, and they played well. We weren't really thinking this was a team that could beat us. Now we know we can't come in thinking we're going to win just because we beat a team.
I work hard every day. That's helped me. My teammates help me get open, and they have confidence in me. They tell me to shoot if I want to shoot.
Defense is a mindset. I can play defense when I want. It's whether I want to or not.
Winning a state championship would mean a lot, because Henry (Ford) is a close friend of mine. It's his senior year, and he wants to win a state championship. So, it would be (great) to be able to play for a championship and have him go off of the court as winner and for us not to lose a game."

Incidents and accidents to prove the Shunt unsafe, please.
Verfasst von Christian Almer (nicht überprüft) am Mi, 18/01/2012 - 13:11.
Hello. Thank you for your interest in and dedication to safety for rope access technicians. I have been working professionally with rock climbing for more than 30 years and with rope access for more than ten years and am presently a SPRAT, level III technician and evaluator. During these years, I have learned the importance of systematically learning from incidents and accidents. During all the years with professional rope access, I have thus actively been implementing and using an incident reporting system, involving ao. annual meetings with all certified personal to make sure, that all that has been changed and updated due to the experienes, learned from the incident reports, is being passed back on to the rope access technicians. This also helps to keep the rope access technicians motivated to keep on reporting incidents and thus continually improve both safety as such and the incident reporting system, that we have in place. Also, I am working on getting this or a similar incident reporting system implemented in SPRAT, as I believe, that it is arguably the single most important action that could be taken to keep on improving safety and to help keep technicians vigilant and alert. In spite of all this work, I have not heard of any incidents or accidents, that could be attributed to the use of the shunt as a back-up device for rope access. However, in your new statement on the use of the Petzl Shunt as a back-up device for rope access, you state, that the new statement to stop using the Petzl Shunt, while being towed by a cord, as a back-up device in rope access is ao. made "In the light of incidents and accidents...". To be able to understand the nature and seriousness of the problem and certainly also to make fair assessments on an informed background of what to do or possibly change in the future, we ask you to inform us, which specific incidents and accidents, that you refer to in relation to the use of the Shunt as a back-up device for rope access being a safety problem? Please be specific and point us to the relevant incident- and accident reports, so we can get a realistic chance of making informed choices, before changing a hitherto seemingly safe and wellproved procedure. Looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely Christian Almer

AIKEN, SC - Ask anybody in the horse racing community, and you will hear nothing but good things about Dogwood Stables and it's legendary president Cot Campbell. So when Palace Malice torched the field at the 2013 Belmont Stakes - the win resonated with friends, family and fans around the CSRA.
After celebrating Saturday in New York, Campbell and his wife Ann returned to Aiken Sunday morning to fanfare around the community.
Over the years, the 85-year old Campbell has transitioned into semi-retirement - but this grin ranks up there with the many big wins by Dogwood's horses over the years.
"I would have to say this is one of the happiest, most exciting, exhilarating chapters in what has been a long career," Campbell said. "We won the Preakness in 1990, and we won some other great races but this one was terrific because it comes in the twilight of my career. I'd have to give it very high marks."
And Palace Malice is not done earning Campbell money. The three year old colt has it's (blinkerless) sights set on Saratoga Springs and the Travers stakes.

Why have I never seen this? Where is this?
I think the NPS shored up the old ruins with some adobe. There was a stink about it a while back. Edit: Here is the story: www.friendsofjosh.org/?p=172
Chris, Its a few hundred yards off of the Ryan Campground loop road. There is an interpretive display adjacent to the road that depicts a bit of its history. And, as Russ states, someone definitely attempted some work on it. Too bad As to you why you haven't seen it, well I forgot to send it to you for approval before submitting it (smirk)
Ha. Very nice. Gotta get back out there, perhaps this spring.

He was a baller, in the truest meaning of the word..... really would have loved to see him play back int the day RIP JacK!
Wow... another great one gone, "The Assassin" Jack Tatum... intimidating, fierce, hard knox gangsta style, played the game the way it should be, he's the image of a Raider. Lots of good hardhittin memories... One of my all time Raider favorites...R.I.P Mr. Tatum...my brother.... :( :( :'( :'(
Raider Bob from Knoxville:
I'm stunned. Tatum was my hero :'(
