KNIGHTDALE — A Knightdale town councilman and another man face drug and other charges after a dispute March 27 led to the search of their home.
Knightdale Public Safety Director Shawn Brown said police responded at 3:12 a.m. to the home of Councilman Terry Gleason and Matthew Wills at 1005 Gallows Way in Knightdale, after a friend of the two men called 911.
We received a 911 call from a female friend that said that Matt was trying to kill Terry and that Matt was beating Terry up, and was choking him, Brown said.
Wills, 43, was charged with one misdemeanor count of assault and one misdemeanor count of assault and battery.
Brown said Knightdale officers spotted drug paraphernalia in plain sight when they entered the residence to complete paperwork with Gleason, 60, and the female witness of the assault.
The officers obtained consent from Gleason to search the house. In the search, they found two grams of marijuana and additional drug paraphernalia.
They are both on the deed for the residence, so they have constructive possession of anything in the house, Brown said.
Gleason and Wills were later charged with possession of less than a half-ounce of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The dispute between the housemates didnt begin at their residence. Gleason and Wills were arguing about an hour before the 911 call.
That argument ended in a minor car wreck about 1:55 a.m. in the area of 1143 N. Smithfield Road, a vacant building near Knightdale Boulevard.
Brown said the men were fighting while Wills was driving a 2006 Kia owned by Gleason, and Gleason was in the passenger seat.
Gleason admitted to grabbing the wheel of the vehicle, making (the car) turn suddenly to the right and jump the curb, and they drove into the landscaping area in front of the building, Brown said.
The two left the scene and the vehicle behind, and they ultimately returned to their house where the alleged assault later took place. Knightdale police had Gleasons vehicle towed upon arrival at the scene of the wreck.
Both men were charged with failure to report an accident, and Wills was charged with driving while his license was revoked. Gleason was also charged with careless and reckless driving.
Brown said once Gleason grabbed the wheel he technically became the driver of the vehicle, despite being in the passenger seat. Gleason didnt return calls for comment on the incident.
Knightdale Mayor Russell Killen said he didnt know enough about the incidents to comment on what effect they could have on Gleasons position on the Town Council.
Im not going to speculate on things like that. Were a long ways from talking about anything about that, so thats an issue for Terry to deal with for now, Killen said.
Gleason is scheduled for two court dates in late April.

SAISD Calendar
Mon. August 25th
End 1st nine wks
October 24th
Thomas A. Edison High School is an award-winning high school in the San Antonio Independent School District in North Central San Antonio, Texas. The school was opened in 1929 on what is now the present-day campus for Benjamin Franklin Elementary School. In 1958, it was relocated to its current location on 701 Santa Monica Blvd. Serving SAISD, Edison boasts an enrollment of approximately 1700 students. The faculty to student ratio is approximately 1:15 in core subject classes with a non-core class ratio at 1:20. Their mascot is the Golden Bear. The school's principal is Charles Muñoz. Edison has three schools-within-a-school-EHS. The student population is equally divided among the three schools. Each school has an administrator, counselor, campus instructional coordinator (CIC), and core teachers. Elective teachers service all three schools. We offer 13 Advanced Placement courses (AP-College Board) and 14 Pre-AP course. Students also have the choice of enrolling in Dual-Credit course if SAC Accuplaser is passed. UT of Austin Chem-Bridge college chemistry classes are an option for students interested in science. The college-bound program, AVID, is a great choice for students wanting support preparing for college. Other college-bound support programs are in place on-campus at Edison. We also have a Health Professions Magnet Program to which students must apply and be accepted. Enrollment is limited.
GRADING SYSTEM All grades are recorded numerically. Courses are generally divided into semesters, with each semester grade of 70 or higher earning 1/2 credit. Semester grades are averaged and one unit of credit is awarded for the course if the average equals 70 or higher. For GPA computation, Pre-AP classes received 5 additional points; AP classes receive 10 additional points.
TAKS REQUIREMENTS As part of the requirement for graduation, all Texas students must demonstrate proficiency in writing, reading, math, social studies and science as measured by the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS).
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT There are three graduating programs endorsed by the Texas Education Agency. The student's final transcript will show which program the student followed.

As the supremo behind Michelin grandee Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, Raymond Blanc talks a good game on his TV show, The Restaurant, but more to the point, he also delivers in the marketplace. His informal chain, Brasserie Blanc, brings gastronomic joy to a select few towns (the list continues to grow), courtesy of classical & regional French food that is 'elegant & appropriate' rather than earth-shattering. Smoked Lyburn cheese soufflé or 'Maman Blanc's miscellany of salads' are highly original ways to get started, ahead of robust mains of steak-frites, rack of Cornish lamb with rösti or Cheddar cheese & onion tart. Dessert isn't the usual mousse au chocolat; instead, try buttonholing a date or buddie into sharing a flamed baked Alaska. French wines direct from the producer & three menus for kids are further reasons to be impressed.

The HAL hotel is the Westmark in Fairbanks. Nice hotel. HAL has a desk at the hotel. Our tour included a very fun and informative ride on a paddle-wheel boat, lunch and panning for gold during the day. We recommend the land tour in Fairbanks. We also went on the salmon bake that evening, which we all agreed was not worth it. The next day we were transported to Denali on the train in observation cars. The observation cars have seats and a bar upstairs and a restaurant area below the seating area. The guides were attentive and informative. At the train station in Denali we were transported to our hotel, The McKinley Chalets Resort. Our group was in a separate full sized hotel near the main lodge. It is a 5 minute walk from there to the main lodge and there's a shuttle running every few minutes. Our impression is that building was owned by HAL. The main lodge has a couple of restaurants, a bar and a gift shop. Across the street is the commercial area with many shops, ice cream, pizza, etc.
We took the flightseeing tour around Mount McKinley. Denali Air picked us up at the main lodge and took us to the airstrip. We flew in an 8-passenger twin engine airplane with retractable landing gear. The flight lasted about an hour. We loved it even though it was a little cloudy that day. Highly recommended.
The bus tour of Denali was in a refurbished school bus. The seats were uncomfortable and the heat was almost non-existent. The outside temperature was barely 50 degrees. The tour guide was very informative. We saw bears and mountain sheep. Despite the temperature and the seats everyone thought it was a good tour.
The next day we boarded modern "deluxe" motorcoaches for transport to Seward. It is a full-day with great scenery all of the way. Our bus driver/guide was very informative. The lunch stop was in Wasilla at a very nice restaurant.
Port reviews are below, except for Ketchikan. Here are our comments on Ketchikan: We went on the HAL tour "Alaska Rain Forest Sanctuary, Raptor Center and Totems." The rain forest sanctuary was the best part. We saw four bears and filmed three of them for perhaps two minutes as they strolled down a creek near us. As our guide said, "if they cross to this side of the creek, we're leaving!:" After the tour we enjoyed walking around town. Even though this is the place on earth with the most rainfall, on this cruise it was the only port in which it was not raining! The next day our cruise ended at Vancouver. We recommend the cruise. The best parts are the wildlife and the scenery. Dress for the climate.

Levenhuk Strike 115 PLUS Telescope
Newtonian telescope. Objective lens diameter: 114 mm. Focal length: 900 mm
Levenhuk Strike 115 PLUS Telescope is the basic reflecting model in the series. Reflectors usually compare favorably with refractors due to the absence of chromatic aberrations. With this telescope you can successfully observe not only planets and other Solar System objects, but also some of the largest deep-sky objects. The optics of this telescope are made of high-quality fully multi-coated glass and are comparable to the optics used in professional telescopes.
The telescope is set up on a German equatorial mount that needs some alignment before the observation, but it's a lot more practical compared to altazimuth mounts, especially when observing moving objects. Attaching a red dot finder to the telescope makes finding and following celestial objects on the night sky even easier.
An advanced kit that includes a set of highly useful accessories and detailed information is a trademark feature of the Levenhuk Strike series, and this model is no exception. The telescope, accompanied with an amazing kit, is wrapped in a colorful box and will make a remarkable gift for any astronomy enthusiast.
The kit includes:
- Telescope on a German equatorial mount
- Steel tripod
- Focuser 1.25"
- Eyepieces: KF 25, PL 10 mm, zoom 7.5-22 mm
- 2x Barlow lens
- Red Dot Finder scope
- "See it all!" astronomer's book
- 3 Posters
- Planisphere
- 3D planetarium software (on CD)
- Compass
- Levenhuk Zongo 40 Case - waterproof telescope case
User manual and 3-year warranty are also included.

Cindi Allmendinger said she loves to teach geometry and financial literacy at Los Alamos High School, but she has other interests outside of teaching that few know about. Teen Pulse's staff members Lily Johnson and Kenzi Hunsaker put her to the test and interviewed her about her high school experience.
Q: Where did you grow up and what high school did you go to?
A: "I grew up on a ranch, one of the last working ranches in Colorado Springs. I went to high school at Cheyenne High School."
Q. Did you have a high school sweetheart?
A: "No my horse (was). I showed horses ... and my school let me take off time to travel all over the nation ... as long as my grades were (a) 'B' or better."
Q: What clique did you belong to? What were you like?
A: "I didn't belong to a clique because I actually traveled and showed horses, and if there (would have been) a horse show clique, I (would have) belonged to it."
Q: What made you want to be a teacher?
A: "I love science and I love math and when I started coaching soccer, I realized how much I loved teaching … One of the parents of one of my students was the principal and said, 'you need to teach' and she gave me a recommendation and I started teaching."

AMC's "Breaking Bad," one of television's most well-known and best dramas came to a close Sept. 29, after five terrific seasons of exceptional television.
Created by Vince Gilligan, the show, set in Albuquerque, follows the life of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry genius working as a high school teacher.
When White is diagnosed with lung cancer, he turns to a life of crime and the production of methamphetamine to pay for his treatment and leave money for his family before he dies.
Teen Pulse's Fashion Maven Alexandra Hehlen designed the gown she's wearing and strutted down the catwalk during this year's Trash Fashion Show. The show was part of the Next Big Idea Festival last month. Alexandra won first place for her dress made from recyclable materials.
After doing a little research and observation, I came to a conclusion about this year's fall trends: they're a little difficult.
Usually I'm on board with the newest fads and excited to embrace them. Yet, there are a few parts of this season's trends that are difficult for me — and probably for others — to incorporate into their respective styles.
Some people simply may decide not to embrace the trends they dislike. To me, however, fashion is a challenge and going through the process of turning a fad you think you cannot wear into one that fits your style is a gratifying learning experience.
Before we talk about the tough trends, let's recap the ones I like:
• Furs: Faux or for real, you can buy just about any style and color. Fur is fluffing up hats, jackets and scarves this season.
Monday: Capture the flag
Tuesday: Birthday board
Thursday: Spider piñata
Friday: Homecoming, AC open from noon-6 p.m.
The centers are open from 3-6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; and from noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday. Memberships are free and open to all third through eighth graders. The White Rock AC is at 10 Sherwood Blvd., 672-1565. The LA AC is at 475 20th St., 662-9412.

Believe it or not, tax-filing season is right around the corner. While Congress and the president wrestle over the "fiscal cliff" and the future of taxes, consumers need to be focused on the 2012 tax year.
To get a speedier refund it helps to file as early as possible. Filing early, in turn, is aided by taking a few steps between now and December 31 to get ready. Here are five things you can do now to get ready:
- Think about any life changes you had in 2012 and how these may affect your tax return. Many common events, like having a baby or buying a home, can trigger tax credits or deductions. Start planning for your income tax return by putting together an action timeline and to-do list.
- Choose a professional tax preparer, if you need help completing your return. You'll want someone who has been around for a while and who will be around later. If you don't already have a tax preparer, ask friends and family for a referral.
- Start now gathering documents you'll need to complete your return. Keep in mind your W-2 and 1099 forms won't be available until the end of January but there are other documents that will prove helpful, like a copy of last year's tax return. If you have a part-time business you can begin now to organize and gather receipts.
- Consider year-end tax moves that will reduce your taxable income, such as giving to charity, prepaying your January mortgage payment or increasing your retirement plan contributions.
- Create a plan with your tax preparer that includes a list of things to do to get your taxes done this year. Start a shoebox for your tax documents, review your year for life changes and put a target date on the calendar to file.

Backpacker Magazine – October 2010
When a lifelong backpacker decides to shoot a deer, will he lose touch with the wilderness he loves--or get closer to it?
I would agree with most of what is said in this article. I am a hunter and a ultralight backpacker and I can say that they can easily go hand in hand. As for the need for hunting, most hunting is done for the experience of being in the woods and spending time with others. The ethics of killing a game animal isn't about need necessarily, but we take pleasure in the opportunity to stalk and hopefully kill a worthy quarry in the outdoors. Well written article hopefully showing how backpacking and hunting are not necessarily at odds with each other when they each respect the other.
Dear Bruce,
Thanks for this article. I enjoyed it.
I made a film about my friend, and backpacking companion, going through a similar journey. He's also a philosopher at the University of Colorado, so the film wanders into both the ethical and literal wilderness. You, and others who enjoyed your piece, may find it of interest:
Thanks again for the article,
Excellent well written article. I am a lifelong hunter as well as a lifelong hiker and backpacker. I find the two complement each other they are not at odds with each other. I find it encouraging that as a person and as a journalist you truly did walk a mile in another persons shoes. That you did so with a open heart and mind is a tribute to your integrity. Like hunting or not you have felt the honest reward of truly "Bringing home the Bacon".
Thank you for your honesty.

I hunt on some land that pretty much all grassland and doesn't see an ounce of fertilizer. I usually take one deer from here every year. Totally grass feed natural deer. Can't get anymore organic than that.
I am a life long hunter, and backpacker. When you combine the two you get the ultimate wilderness experience in my opinion. I was looking at this magazine to see if I could benefit from it, I will be subscriber from now on.
I see I spelled vegetarian wrong. No, I am not just a dumb hunter. Just a human like you. Share the wilderness. lol
I have not even read half of the article yet and I never chime in on these things. This article, however, is the best article I have ever read in any outdoor magazine bar none! Bringing people together is what we need now more than ever. I have been an outdoorsman since I was 8 and caught my first sunny with a stick,line, and hook. I grew up in the woods of suburbia and gradually wandered further out. I fish, ski, hike, mountain bike, camp, anything I can to be outdoors. I didn't start hunting until I was 35. I needed something new to do and was invited to hunt. It's not about the killing, it can't trully be explained until you do it. I am one of the minority I guess that is not on either side. I see nothing but being closer to nature when I hunt. I had a girlfriend that was a vegiterian. She said at least it's honest, and you use the whole animal. Not like the drive through. Plus if it ever hits the fan she said she had me to get through it. The most exciting times are when I harvested nothing. The close encounter with bears, the 5 minute old couger tracks etc etc etc. Thank you for an honest look at hunters as just avid outdoors people! We love what hikers love ...being in tune with nature! Let's try to respect each other on common ground.
What we need to understand here is that people are entitled to their own opinions and beliefs, and whether or not you agree or disagree with hunting, you should respect others' beliefs. To "Cal" who posted earlier: You are an idiot. Who are you to judge what Bruce (the author) believes? I don't care how much you are against hunting or the killing of animals, you do not wish death upon a person. Your opinions are your opinions, nothing more. You are just one of billions, so your beliefs have no priority in this world. I've never hunted, and I don't like the thought of killing animals/game purely for fun, but I would kill a thousand animals and leave them to rot before I would wish death on a person. It's this sort of lack of respect for other's beliefs that cause problems in the first place. If you want to hunt, then hunt. If you don't, then don't. Live your life the way you want, I'll live mine the way I want, and Bruce will live his the way he wants. Stop being so concerned with others' lives, they're not yours!
To Bruce: Thank you for this article. Whether or not I agree with you is beside the point, I enjoyed your sharing your beliefs (which should not be disrespected) so boldy.
Excellent article. I have been a backpacker for many years and like you never really considered giving hunting a try. I am seriously considering taking the hunter's education and giving it a try. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts.
Great article I have been a person who enjoys both hiking and hunting... I have hiked in Denali and the Wrangells and hunted and hiked in the Brooks Range, would love to see more cross over articles for I am always looking thru BP for ways to safe on weight and gear to use on my trips.... Thanks again good job
I thoroughly enjoyed this article.
I was pleasantly surprised to find this article. As a person who hunted with my family as a child, became a "backpacker", and now has returned to hunting for a variety of reasons, I've been on both sides of the coin. While the ethic of "leave no trace" is slowly and fortunately permeating hunting, hunting has given back something I missed as a hiker. Moving slowly, stopping and remaining motionless for hours, conscious of every leaf and puff of wind, I see the smallest plot of land with a depth that would have would have missed in the miles I racked up while backpacking. Having returned to hunting as a urban 40 year old, I also had to take a renewed look at the philosophy and ethics of hunting, and I enjoyed the author's well written account of his own exploration of the issue. While I doubt Backpacker will or should start publishing rifle reviews, I can say that I read through other parts of your magazine with a new interest for the first time in a while. Thanks for being willing to explore beyond the stereotypical boundaries between two groups that share a common cause in preservation of wilderness.
Great article and my kudus to BP magazine for publishing it. Perhaps you have opened some eyes to a part of internal but suppressed chemistry of our being. For many hunting is an "excuse" for being outdoors that allow us to feel the world around us at a higher resolution than I do when I'm hiking in the woodland hills during the other months of the year.
Excellent article! Please keep hunting and flush this out into a book. As a Natural resource management student I had similar converstions with the Forestry students. I have returned to (bow) hunting and find it further bridges this odd divide among the outdoor crowd.
What a great story. THANK YOU for writing this. I am glad the author took on a challenge that was out of his comfort zone. The article was extremely honest. It was a great read and I will be passing this onto others!
Bruce covered in vivid,engrossing detail most of the activities of a large animal hunt for food. I would just like to add that first time "hunters" could research outfitting businesses in their hunting area of choice, and hire an outfitter to guide a first hunt.We have such an outfitting business and would welcome a novice or two. Dana Ivers, cowcreekoutfitters.com
I absolutely loved his article. As a lifelong outdoors enthusiast, backpacker, and Bambie-lover, I had my first deer hunting season last year (you can read my story here: http://myrbou.blogspot.com ).
Deer hunting season is a mere week away and I can't wait - yes, I know, I am one of "them" now...
When I tell other I started hunting, to the horror of some, I only accept criticism from those who don't eat meat - otherwise, it is pure hypocrisy, as somebody, somewhere, is killing an animal just for you to eat...
My mentor-hunters don't like to play God - and I understand that some hunters do... sadly - especially those who do not kill for food... and that is a whole other side of hunting which can be debated ad nauseum...
Thank you for the thoughtful essay on an issue and experience that is difficult to put into words. Whether we hunt or not, we share a world where beautiful, wild places are rare and diminishing. We should work together to pass them on, along with the freedom to hike and hunt. www.backcountryhunters.org.

It combines the resources of Ashland Health Center and Comanche County Hospital to meet the collective health care needs of the women in their hospital districts.
Why are we doing this?
Women in this country make 80% of the health care decisions for their families. Sadly in this process they often neglect their own health care. In Southwest Kansas, the situation is even more prevalent due to limitations with access to care. The funds raised by the WEPAC Alliance go to pay designated preventative cancer screenings for women in the five communities of Wilmore, Englewood, Protection, Ashland and Coldwater. Through the dilligent work of the Comanche County Hospital CEO along with Ashland Health Center's CEO digital mammograms are now available in Coldwater and Ashland. It is our goal that every woman in these five communities schedule their yearly exams today and each year hereafter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the board members.
How can we help you?
You must be a female and live in one of the five communities of Wilmore, Englewood, Protection, Ashland or Coldwater. A voucher form is completed and approved prior to service for WEPAC funds.
Well-Woman Exams: WEPAC will pay all charges if you are uninsured or the balance after your insurance has paid for a well woman exam including all the lab/Pathology charges associated with a screening pap IF the services are provided in one of the WEPAC communities.
Mammograms: WEPAC will pay all charges if you are uninsured or the balance after your insurance has paid for mammograms including the charge by the radiologist IF the services are provided in one of the WEPAC communities.
Colonoscopy: WEPAC will pay if you are uninsured or after your insurance has paid for a screening colonoscopy including the physician, anesthesia and the facility charges. Any extra procedures or complications will not be paid for by WEPAC. Further details will be explained when vouchers are requested.
A voucher/request form WEPAC funds must be completed and approved prior to the services.
For a voucher contact Debbie Filson at the Ashland Health Center Business Office or Lisa Brooks at the Comanche County Hospital Business Office.
WEPAC will send the payment directly to the facility providing the services. A detail billing showing the balance owed (after insurance) is required for WEPAC funds.

Route Guide - iPhone / Android - Partners - Forum - Photos - Deals - What's New - School of Rock
Select Route:
Climb up vertical rock on mostly positive holds. This route is unique due to the absence of the usual Clifton �crystal pinching.� The dike futures offer an array of jugs, side pulls, and a few pockets. The crux comes about mid way up the climb where you need to place a cam in a horizontal and make a move up to a nice side pull/jug.
Looking at the main face, walk along bottom of cliff to the right of Witch Wonder about 60 ft. The bolt line begins above a small low angle slab.
The route is sport with one very notable exception. You will need a cam (BD size 0.75) to protect crux. There is an obvious horizontal crack to plug the cam into. Be sure to place the cam in the left side of the crack where crack is parallel, and not in the slightly flaring middle portion of the crack. There are bolt anchors at the top.

All residents receive extensive training in ambulatory care, including continuity medical clinics, ambulatory blocks, walk-in clinics, emergency rooms, private practices and health maintenance organizations. Residents are exposed to a broad variety of patients under close supervision of faculty with expertise in primary care and preventive medicine. Through the weekly Ambulatory Care Seminars and weekly core curriculum during Morning Report, residents expand their knowledge of primary care and its related disciplines. The Associate Program Director for Ambulatory Education and the the Primary Care Chief Resident are responsible for development and implementation of the ambulatory curriculum.
Residents participate in a weekly continuity medical clinic starting in the beginning of their residency. Clinic sites include University Health Center (UHC), the Primary Care Clinics at the VA, the Faculty Practice Office (FPO), and Mercy Medical Center. Residents attend their continuity clinics in a modified 4+2 schedule with no or few clinics scheduled during inpatient rotations and more scheduled during ambulatory block rotations and electives.
At each site, residents develop a close working relationship with their colleagues and the general medicine faculty, who are expert at providing one-on-one supervision in primary care. All clinic sites provide easy access to laboratory and radiologic studies, medical records, textbooks and electronic resources, such as Up-to-Date. The electronic medical record system, EPIC, is used at UHC and the FPO, while CPRS is used by residents at the VA Primary Care Clinic. A weekly pre-clinic conference provides residents with a comprehensive curriculum in primary care and preventive health.
By completing four Ambulatory Block rotations, residents attain expertise in primary care and are exposed to important skills for achieving competency in internal medicine. Residents rotate through various sites, both at the academic medical center and in the community. Residents may also choose to attend various medical subspecialty clinics. Select attendings at private practice sites, in managed care organizations and in public clinics precept residents during the rotation.
Residents have a wide range of choices during their Ambulatory Block rotations. If they are planning on a career in a subspecialty, they can attend outpatient clinics in that field or in one that complements that area of study. For example, a resident interested in oncology may choose an outpatient clinic in infectious diseases, in addition to attending clinic sessions and Tumor Board at the Greenebaum Cancer Center. Residents interested in primary care choose components to enhance their skills in women's health, sports medicine, rheumatology, ENT, travel medicine, ophthalmology, and dermatology. All residents spend time in a private practitioner's office to get exposure to "real life" primary care and learn the business of medicine.
Required components of the Ambulatory Blocks include geriatrics, neurology, psychiatry, literature in medicine, and completion of practice based learning exercises.
During Geriatrics, residents learn how a multidisciplinary team addresses the elderly patient's medical, psychological and social concerns.
In the Neurology clinic and private practices, residents evaluate and manage problems such as chronic seizure disorders, peripheral neuropathy, movement disorders and headaches.
Residents participate in Psychiatry Seminars, where they learn skills in treating common outpatient psychiatric problems, such as depression and personality disorders.
A very popular component of the Ambulatory Blocks is the weekly Literature in Medicine Seminar. Led by a faculty member, the residents read and discuss the works of various authors and poets, reflecting on how the writings apply to the practice of medicine and the humanistic aspects of our profession.
During Women's Health, residents receive instruction by general internists in pelvic and breast examinations and discuss hormone replacement therapy, abnormal PAP smears and identification of domestic violence.
Residents also participate in a problem based learning (PBL) project, where they perform a self-assessment exercise of the patient care they provide in their clinic and formulate an improvement plan based on the results. At the conclusion of the Ambulatory Block, the Primary Care Chief Resident meets with the group to review their PBL results and the literature that supports the standard of care.
Most residents spend time in a private general internal medicine practice in the community where they gain exposure to a different patient mix and learn the principles of continuity and episodic care from experienced practitioners.
Through the Ambulatory Blocks and seminars held by UMMC, residents have the opportunity to hone specific skills useful for a career in primary care and general internal medicine. In addition, exposure to the practical business of medicine is provided through a lecture series.
Residents can enhance their skills in:
Practice Management Seminars
Getting ready to apply for a job: Early in the year, senior residents learn the proper timeline for applying for positions, updating their CV and using the internet and headhunters to begin the job search process.
The job interview: Issues discussed include basic approach to the job interview, what to know before you go, key questions to ask during the discussion, and appropriate follow-up.
Assessing a private practice: Residents need to be aware of many aspects of the practice when determining whether it will be a suitable setting for them. Among the many topics discussed are how the practice approaches patient care, triages phone calls, manages charts and documents, arranges call schedules and manages workload distribution among the physicians.
Your first job contract: Lawyers join a group discussion to help residents in evaluating their first contract and understanding the key terms for their future practice.
Office management: Sessions include information on patient medical insurance, billing, ICD-9 coding, interaction of office personnel and telephone medicine, among other topics.
During the PGY-2 year, all residents rotate through our Faculty Practice Office (FPO), where they work alongside our general medicine faculty in a private practice setting. During their first year of training, residents rotate through the Emergency Room at UMMC and the Emergency Care Services (ECS) at the VA. They return to ECS in the 2nd and 3rd years, where they receive additional training in outpatient urgent care medicine. The Emergency Room experience is described under the University of Maryland Medical Center.

One of the toughest challenges you can face when caring for the elderly is resistance to care. How do you help a loved one who doesn't want help? Understand how resistance to care can develop and strategies for fostering cooperation when caring for the elderly.
If your loved one is in need of care, he or she is likely dealing with loss — physical loss, mental loss, the loss of independence. Accepting care may mean relinquishing privacy and adjusting to new routines. As a result, your loved one may feel frightened and vulnerable, angry that he or she needs help or guilty about the idea of becoming a burden to family and friends. In addition, your loved one may be stubborn, have mental health concerns or simply think it's a sign of weakness to accept help. He or she might also be worried about any associated costs.
If you suspect that your loved one will be resistant to care — whether from family, other close contacts or a service — you may be hesitant to bring up the topic. To start communicating with your loved one about his or her need for care:
Getting an aging loved one to accept help can be difficult. To encourage cooperation, you might:
Keep in mind that these strategies may not be appropriate when dealing with a loved one who has dementia.
If your loved one continues to resist care and is endangering himself or herself, you may need to take steps to protect his or her health and safety. Consider consulting a lawyer about elder care issues.
Resistance to care is a challenge that many caregivers face. By keeping your loved one involved in decisions about his or her care and explaining the benefits of assistance, you may be able to help your loved one feel more comfortable about accepting help.

Hi: 21° Lo:9°
By Ian Dipple Friday 28 February 2014 Updated: 28/02 09:23
THE TRUST which runs the Alexandra Hospital is facing having to borrow more money from the Government as it risks running out of cash.
Without action by September 2014 Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust would be overdrawn by more than £5million as a result of a combination of factors. They include increased demand through A&E the Trust is not being fully paid for because of national pricing rules, beds being tied up due to delays elsewhere in the system, cancelled operations and increased staffing costs.
The Trust lost another £500,000 in January and is set to end the year £12million in debt.
On top of that the Trust faces being fined £1million by commissioners for failing to hit the four hour A&E waiting time, ambulance handover and waiting time for elective surgery targets, as a result of the pressure it is under.
Discussions are continuing with commissioners and the Trust Development Authority about the Trust's current financial situation but it looks likely this year's £12million deficit will be added to the existing £18million of historic debt from overspends in the early 2000s. That will cause the Trust a cash problem in the future. It borrowed £12million from the Department of Health in 2012/13 to shore up its finances and ensure the Trust could pay its bills on time. But the situation has slowly deteriorated with more than £2million of debt now more than 90 days overdue.
The Department of Health has already agreed to reduce the amount the Trust needs to hold in its account at the end of the financial year, which will put more cash into the system.
Chris Tidman, the Trust's director of resources, said the long-term solution to their financial problems was the re-organisation of hospital services and plans to change the urgent care system to reduce demand through A&E, which would cut costs, but could take two to three years to resolve.
"Unless there's an extra injection of cash into the Worcestershire health economy we will see a cash problem emerge and we will have to mitigate that by taking out a temporary loan," he told the Standard.
"The real issue is have you got a lot of cash in the bank and ourselves and one or two others aren't the most liquid of Trusts and because of the legacy debt, the Trust entered this difficult period without a great deal of cash in the bank.
"There's an indication as long as you are doing the right things and getting ourselves and the health economy back into balance [then you will get the money]. There's no worry of not being able to pay suppliers or staff there's just a number of ground steps we have to go through and the argument will be what level we need."

Galileo Satellite Navigation System
The ESA's post launch team are ready to guide and take control of a twin set of Galileo satellites, undertaking a number of procedures and adjustments in order to ready the pair for orbital duties. The satellites are due to be hefted into orbit together atop a Russian made Soyuz rocket on August 21 from the ESA's launch site situated in French Guiana. Read More
EU launches free EGNOS satnav system
The European Commission has announced the official start of operations of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), a satellite based augmentation system (SBAS) that improves the accuracy of the current US Global Positioning System (GPS) and Russian GLONASS system signals from about ten meters to two meters. Like the U.S. GPS, the EGNOS Open Service is accessible free of charge to any user equipped with a GPS/SBAS compatible receiver within the EGNOS coverage area, which includes most European states and has the built-in capability to be extended to other regions, such as North Africa and EU neighboring countries. Most receivers sold today in Europe meet that requirement. Read More
Tracking system promises faster help for avalanche victims
December 6, 2007 A new positioning system which will use Galileo, the future European global positioning satellite system, may prove to be a life saver for avalanche victims. Avalanches kill hundreds of people worldwide every year. In the United States annual avalanche deaths have averaged 25 for the last ten years, with 20 deaths occurring in the 2006-2007 season.

Galileo signal reflections to monitor waves and weather at sea
November 29, 2007 For the first time a signal from a Galileo satellite - the European alternative to GPS - has been captured after reflection off the ocean surface. The successful experiment carried out by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) and the University of Surrey demonstrates the potential for determining the weather at sea with remote sensing satellites. The development offers the possibility of deploying a constellation of small satellites to take measurements over the oceans where there are large gaps in forecast knowledge at present. Such a system could be used to provide severe weather warnings to mariners, data for global climate change models and even the potential to detect tsunamis. Read More

Quotations & Testimonials
This is probably one of the coolest 'things to do' I've posted about yet – if this doesn't make you jump up off the couch and get out there, I don't know what will!- Maura, Atlanta: 365 Days, 365 Things To Do
Atlanta just got way awesomer…- Michelle Marcus, I Dream of Bicycling
My hope is that this event will inspire us all to get more involved and help make Atlanta a finer place to live, work, and play- Mayor Kasim Reed, personal letter to ASA
"This should be a groundbreaking event for Atlanta."- Jeannie, Lens On Atlanta
What was your favorite moment from Atlanta Streets Alive?
Riding a bike down the middle of Edgewood without a single car nearby.- Lauren Norton Welsh
Going to the Sweet Auburn Curb Market for the first time.- Paul Schramm
Standing in the middle of the street, with nothing in sight except hundreds of people on bicycles, foot, skateboard, strollers, wheelchairs…- Michelle Marcus
Seeing so many folks out and enjoying downtown.- Theresa Kanter
Riding MARTA for the first time in 17 years; the clean public bathroom in the Sweet Auburn Curb Market; the clown on stilts; cool building exterior designs; Brazilian martial art; lots of police officers to ensure our safety- Mi Kyong Yoo
Trying to hula hoop with rollerblades on.- Court Sullivan
King of Pops at the Curb Market; strolling with family down the street; random meeting of friends- Glenn Kurtz
Viewing Atlanta from a different perspective (while getting a healthy work-out).- Blair Rothstein
The feeling of walking in the street…with no cars! It was so cool being able to walk on Edgewood Avenue under the underpass! And it was super neat seeing the streets full of families and people walking, playing, cycling and doing all these other activities. It was just an awesome experience all around.- Crys Clark
I got there a couple of minutes early. As I ran along Edgewood Avenue in my barefoot-like Vibram FiveFinger "foot gloves," it felt so odd, yet free, having the road mostly to myself in the first few minutes of Streets Alive. The only other times runners have the whole road to themselves is during a road race like the Peachtree Road Race or the Georgia Marathon. But you're usually surrounded by thousands of other runners! However, I did enjoy seeing the crowds of people filling up Edgewood Avenue as the afternoon progressed.- Jeffrey Lam
Lots of vendors, community orgs, and participating businesses along the route.- Paul Black
Meetin' all sorts of interesting new people!- Jack Stenger
Diversity! So much of everything… I have a streets alive hangover.- Mike Gerke
That I can only remember similing faces – everywhere & every type of person – and I can't think of any other place or experience where I can say the same.- Samantha Sayer
Feeling at home, happy and relaxed in the downtown area on a Sunday afternoon, whereas normally it might feel strange and empty. Everybody seemed so open and happy!- Lyuba Zuyeva
In terms of a single moment, I'd have to say it was when a group of us were doing the participant counts. The event had just started and a couple were walking up the street alongside their 4 year old daughter (age is estimated). She very slowly tricycled up Edgewood with streamers on her handlebars and she had curly pigtails. The street hadn't gotten crowded yet, most people were at Woodruff Park. There were no cars in view and this family just walked up Edgewood so slowly. They kept getting a little closer to us and I think were the first people we counted. It was a really beautiful moment to see the event start to happen and for the first people to be this family. For me, that's exactly what I had hoped for and worked for… to create a safe place for people, adults, children, and families to exist in and to play.- Katie Sobush
I liked how a group of people decided this would be really good for Atlanta, and then worked together to make it real. I didn't know if I was going to get to see a ciclovia without going someplace else, but it happened here.- Ali Garren Mangkang
Hearing how many people are anxiously waiting for another Atlanta Streets Alive event.- Leslie Caceda
Other Feedback
Walking in the middle of the street was neato, and I learned I can still do cartwheels. That was fun.- Allison Dabbs
What fun to enjoy that great part of our city and letting the kids walk down the middle of the street!!! Highlight = Edgewood Ave Market. Amazing produce.- Becky Hamilton
The street food was awesome – healthy, international, and fun. Lots of positive energy and good vibes.- Carolyn H. Rader
I especially loved the Watermelon Men – Middleschool boys playing Herbie Hancock, and the Dance Truck with Beacon Dancers!- Sloane Cheatham
Oh happy day! Can we do this every Sunday?- Maria Moore Riggs
Let's push this event to be a weekly thing in Atlanta, it only brings good things to downtown Atlanta.- Salsatlanta Salsacasino
Awesome day! Way to take back the streets Atlanta.- Tracie Sanchez
This is a really big project that I can only see growing… Atlanta needs more stuff like this.- Staci McCrory Waddle
This was an outstanding event! One of the best times Atlanta has ever offered! The Sweet Auburn Market was filled with visitors who were delighted to see what was inside… and lined the sidewalk to sample the fare from the Yumbii Truck among others. It was a "Feel Good" experience that should be repeated over and over.- Pamela Joiner (Sweet Auburn Curb Market)
Thanks so much for supporting Atlanta Streets Alive last Sunday! As I'm sure you have heard, we had almost 6000 folks including my son and I. Even though he is four years old, this was his first experience seeing the skyscrapers downtown because usually the area is either choked with traffic on weekdays or a ghost town on the weekends. We biked from East Atlanta to the route and he couldn't stop talking about it all night and the next day. He kept saying we got to go to a festival and we saw belly dancers and hula hoop dancers and danced to "funky" music. We ate hot dogs on the street, bought t-shirts, stopped in the farmers market bought produce and snow cones, bought a sandwich from a street vendor, and stopped at a coffee shop and had a cookie. We were there riding with him on the "tag-a-long" or stopping to enjoy the street life for almost the whole four hours. I travel to DC and Portland quite often and this was my first experience in Atlanta that approached the vibrant street life that exists in those two cities. We had a GREAT time!!! And all in all I think I spent close to $80 in businesses along the route. While I know everyone didn't spend this much, even if they spent $20, the economic impact for these businesses for this first time event approaches $120,000. I would encourage you to continue to support this activity common in other world class cities like Chicago, Bogota, Portland and elsewhere. I look forward to the day that this is a regular monthly event!- Ken Rose
We are not reinventing the wheel here; we are obviously looking to emulate cities like Bogotá, Columbia, but in many respects Atlanta is 'an uncharted city'. So through a progressive moment, like Atlanta Streets Alive, we could eventually change the social and economic dynamic of Atlanta. To think that one day an individual, of any age, of any economic bracket, will be able to run, ride, skate or bike down Peachtree Street safely, is an amazing dream!- Shannon Makaila
People were so happy, there were so many smiles. Atlanta Streets Alive was like a huge present given to people. In reality the streets already belong to the people, but ASA was that concept realized. I can't wait for October!- Katie Sobush

IRVING -- The Cowboys have signed linebacker Brady Poppinga to fill the void left by linebacker Bruce Carter, who's been placed on the injured reserve. Carter suffered a dislocated elbow Thursday against the Redskins and will have surgery this week.
"He was playing awfully well," said Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett. "He was playing really well early on in the season inside with Sean Lee and really developed into a really good player."
Carter becomes the fourth defensive starter lost for the season, joining fellow linebacker Sean Lee, safety Barry Church and defensive lineman Kenyon Coleman.
Poppinga has played seven years in the league after being drafted by the Packers in the fourth round in '05.
The injury means veterans Dan Connor and Ernie Sims, along with Popinga, will fill the middle for the Cowboys defense moving forward. Sims joined the team four weeks ago.
Defensive back Orlando Scandrick will also miss some time with a broken hand he suffered against the Redskins. He had surgery last week and there's not a timetable for his return.
The Cowboys also signed receiver former Redskin and Dolphin receiver Anthony Armstrong, who also played for the Arena League team here in Dallas.
To make room, the Cowboys cut receiver Andre Holmes. There was hope in training camp Holmes could develop into the team's third receiver, but he's had next to no impact offensively this season and only slightly more than that on special teams.

I'm working with a fresh install of ACADE 2013 SP1 standalone on a brand new Dell laptop running Win 7x64 with only MS Office 2010 installed on it. When I right click on a component the "Catalog Check" button is grayed out. If I click on "Multiple Catalog" I am able to select the "Catalog Check" and it takes me to the default catalog but it is empty like ACADE is not seeing the default_cat.mdb and the file path on the top of the window is correct for my default_cat.mdb path. I also added the file path for my default_cat.mdb to my WD.ENV file too as this is a fresh install on a brand new laptop. I followed the steps in the two links below and have had no success. I can open the default_cat.mdb just fine in MS Access. Also when I right click on my project and select settings the default_cat.mdb path is correct. I'm lost as what to try next. I have done this same install on other desktop computers before with no trouble. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Nobody else has seen this issue?
Does the Lookup button work? Is this an existing drawing or a brand new symbol that was placed?
Yes, the looup button works, and I can select Catalog lookup from there, but the parts catalog is blank and there is no option to clear the selection fields.
To help determine what is happening, can you upload a screen shot of the dialog that appears when you click Lookup?
You could also try these troubleshooting steps and upload the log file. It might provide some information on what is happening. (Uppercase means it is a command to type on the command line.)
3. Perform your steps to reproduce the problem
6. Find the file based on the name returned in step #5 and upload.
I think the only time the Catalog Check button is disabled is when the component does not have a catalog value assigned. Does the component have a catalog?
Is there any way you can upload your catalog database zipped? It might help if I looked at it.
Pat Murnen
Ok, so I this is something that I just became aware of after upgrading to ACADE 2013 from ACADE 2012. In 2013 there is a lookup button now instead of a Catalog Lookup. The new Lookup button is not in the same place as the old Calatog Lookup button, it is just above it. I also had Use MISC_CAT table selected swich kept the fields from populating. I'm all set now. Thanks!

Security Clearances
Some internships, such as those at the departments of Defense, Justice, and State, may require applicants to submit to a thorough background examination or security clearance. Security clearances can produce months of delay before an agency or organization can allow a student to intern. While our students almost always pass this type of examination, the ensuing delay can ultimately make an internship an impractical match for the program. Students cannot begin the Washington Program with only a promise that their clearance will be forthcoming. In order to minimize the risk of depending upon a security clearance that is slow to materialize, we recommend that students take the following steps:
1. You must meet the Department of State deadline, which is months before the Washington Program application deadline. The deadline for application for fall internships at the Department of State is March 1, while the deadline for spring internships is July 1 of the previous year. It is also recommended that you submit your security clearance application well in advance of the Department of State deadline.
2. Never apply solely to internships requiring a security clearance. Pursue other attractive alternatives and keep them open as options until the security process is complete.
3. Give the organization requiring a clearance a deadline beyond which you are no longer able to take the internship. This should, of course, be a reasonable one. One week before the beginning of the semester (i.e. two weeks before the internship begins) is not an unreasonable deadline for a security clearance to be completed. If an organization cannot accept this, there is a very good chance that the clearance will not be completed in a timely manner.
4. Return immediately all materials related to a security clearance and send them by express mail with verification of receipt. Also, keep a log of all conversations with the organization related to your security clearance. This log should record with whom you spoke, the substance of the conversation, and the date.
5. NEVER cancel or reschedule an appointment for your security interview (not all clearances requires this interview). This will effectively rule out the possibility that the clearance process can be completed by the time you arrive in Washington.
A note from Chris Vieira, a recent intern at the U.S. Department of State:
"The process was pretty painless and not too difficult."
• The process is separate from the internship application process. Only students who are selected as primary and alternate interns will be asked to turn in security paperwork.
• At the State Department, once the internship application is turned in, they don't want you to follow-up; it is impossible to get through the bureaucracy even if you wanted to do so. They also seem to be consistently late in getting back to people. I was told they would get back with an offer in about a month; mine took over 1.5 months.
• The security forms are long and complicated. Plenty of time is necessary to complete them. Students also need to have their fingerprints taken and participate in a security interview which is at least an hour long.
• I was never told that my clearance was granted. When I called my internship coordinator in late November to find out about my status, they finally informed me. The clearance had been granted 1.5 or 2 months earlier. Earlier follow-up would have saved me from turning in other applications. That would have been a good piece of advice.
