While everyone's out enjoying the holidays, law enforcement officers are keeping an eye on traffic.
There's much more traffic than usual because of Black Friday shoppers and Thanksgiving travelers.
In Moultrie Friday, there was a steady stream of traffic on Veterans Parkway.
Motorists say they'd like to see even more officers patrolling the highway.
"When you get all these people going to their families and stuff, and you get people drinking and then they are out driving, you are going to have fatalities, it is not a good thing, you should really have more officers out right now," said Charles Buchte, Motorist.
The highest number of traffic deaths ever recorded for the Thanksgiving holiday period was 43 in 1969 and the lowest was four in 1949.

Last weekend an unfortunate figure returned to the
A victory 20 years in the making was overturned when
Those whose heart is with the dancing chief were thrilled, calling Homecoming "a victory parade." The organization Students for Chief Illini issued a statement saying that the original policy was a "slap in the face to people in the community to say you can't support your symbol." In an irony that could only be found in the bizarre lexicon of university political correctness, the group uses the world "symbol" instead of "mascot" because the term "mascot" is offensive to Chief Illiniwek. Keep in mind, that there never was a Chief Illiniwek. No one with that name ever existed. His costume is not in keeping with anything the Illini tribe ever wore and the dance at halftime was created in 1926 by the Boy Scouts. But by all means support such a noble symbol.
The Chief was certainly celebrated at Homecoming. No counter protestors were reported and thousands of attendees wore Chief regalia. Although no Native American organizations support the Chief, he was celebrated lustily. The same students and alumni that clamor for the Chief as a symbol of Native American nobility, put far more time and energy into a fictional chief than aiding actual Native Americans. Students of Native American descent are a mere 0.2% of the overall student population, and 0.1% of the faculty. "Honoring" Native Americans is confined to a white guy in buckskin pants and feathers (only whites have portrayed the Chief throughout it's 81-year history).
There was little said about the fact that while Chief Illiniwek never existed, the Illini tribe did. They were torn apart, forcibly removed so schools like
Since there is nothing honorable about resurrecting the Chief, is it then an issue of freedom of speech? In a letter to Chancellor Herman, professor Antonia Darder wrote, "If a float maker wants to use KKK imagery or a noose hanging from a tree on a homecoming float, is this now also acceptable under the auspices of 'free expression?' Or if a float maker wants to use images of people copulating or nude participants on a float, would this also be accepted as the freedom of personal expression? And if not, why not? Certainly if public nudity is considered immoral or at least inappropriate, why not public racism?" This is the climate in which Herman resurrects the Chief.
The latest in this marathon battle of memory, history, and the role of sports in this process comes two weeks after the death of Native American activist and longtime leader of the American Indian Movement, Vernon Bellecourt. Bellecourt spent years as a thorn in the side of organizations like the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians, demanding that they change their mascots. He once said, "Our detractors always say, 'We are honoring you.' It's not an honor. In whose honor, we have to ask. Beginning with the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, about 16 million of us were wiped out, including whole villages in
To other teams with Indian nicknames and to their fans, he said, "No more chicken feathers … No more paint on faces. The chop stops here." Maybe the

Oracle is updating its widely used open source MySQL database, and a range of associated products, in order to meet the increasing demands of Web users.
In the past decade, "The Web has transitioned from just serving Web pages to actually providing critical services," said Tomas Ulin, Oracle vice president of MySQL engineering. "You expect your e-mail to always be available, for your Facebook account to always be available. Ten years ago, it was acceptable to hit reload on your browser. Now you expect your page to come up immediately."
[ Also on InfoWorld: MySQL users caution against NoSQL fad. | Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Keep up with the latest approaches to managing information overload and compliance in InfoWorld's Enterprise Data Explosion Digital Spotlight. ]
For its first MySQL Connect conference, held over the weekend in San Francisco, Oracle has released a number of updates to its line of MySQL technologies. It has posted a release candidate (RC) for the next version of the database, MySQL 5.6, as well as a developer milestone of the next version of MySQL that runs across multiple servers, MySQL Cluster 7.3. It has also updated its MySQL Enterprise package for commercial clients. All these updates feature new technologies designed to boost database readiness.
The MySQL 5.6 RC offers a nearly complete version of MySQL 5.6, which will probably be released in its final state within the next few months. This version comes with a number of significant features. Through the use of the Memcached API (application programming interface), MySQL can now offer a speedy way to store and retrieve database entries, one that should rival the performance of NoSQL databases.
"We can get really good performant NoSQL access whilst having the strength and power of SQL. We think that is a unique offering," Ulin said.
Oracle also worked at making MySQL faster. The MySQL Optimizer has new techniques of selecting, sorting and returning results in a more efficient way. The underlying InnoDB storage engine has been refactored to handle concurrency better, which will make MySQL more suitable for heavily loaded OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) systems and read-only workloads. InnoDB also features full-text search, which should speed searches for words and phrases.
Another new feature that should please heavy users of MySQL is the new ability to execute DDL (Data Definition Language) operations without taking offline the database tables being changed. "If you want to alter your schema, add or drop a column to your schema, or rename a column, you typically had to bring down the database, alter it and bring it up," Ulin said. "With online DDL, you don't have to think about that. The table will be available through that period."
In addition to the MySQL 5.6 release candidate, Oracle also updated a number of related MySQL products.
The company has released the first Development Milestone Release (DMR) of MySQL Cluster 7.3, a version of the database for running a database across multiple servers. A DMR release has finalized a subset of features that will appear in the final release.

Fantastic Find
Reviewed By:
(Evans, GA)
This is a heavy weight Stainless Still pot, lid and rack. All I did was follow the directions. Simply trim the dry part off and cut to fit pot. Then put the stalks down and tips up. Fill just about 2 -3 inches and it boils the tougher stems and steams the tops perfectly every time. Do not over cook! I top with season salt, lemon pepper, lemon juice, or any sauce I care to use. They all are wonderful and fast!

Summer fun can often end tragic with unattended children falling into pools and waterways.
But some parents are starting to teach their how to swim before they can even crawl.
This very unique program is helping children, some as young as 6-months-old, survive if they fall into water.
George Sloan, who is only 20 months old, is no stranger to the water. He's in the pool five days a week through a program called infant swim resource.
George's mom, Betsy, already had her oldest son, Ivan, go through the classes. She said it may be hard to watch your child in the water at such a young age, but it's worth it in the long run.
"To know that your child could get into a dangerous situation and have a fighting chance to save themselves is why my children (have taken the program.) My son is 20 months old. There's no way he could get into a pool and expect to survive (at that age.) But I have confidence that if George got into a pool, he could float on his back until I was able to get him," said Betsy Sloan.
Instructor Kennette Pyles works with each child one-on-one for 10 minutes a day.
This is something that is deeply personal for Pyles. Fourteen years ago she lost her son to a drowning accident in Alabama.
"It's something no kid has to go through. They don't have to drown. Parents don't have to bury their children when they drown. This is an opportunity for them to learn a skill that will save their lives," said Pyles.
After six weeks in the water, a 14-month-old named Luke had his final lesson. He was fully dressed to simulate what it would be like if he fell into the water unattended. Within seconds he flipped over and floated.
"It's the only skill that can really save their life. It's a skill that carries on with them for the rest of their life," said Pyles.

Dr. Roger N. Casey Bio
Since 2010, Dr. Roger N. Casey has served as the ninth President of McDaniel College of Westminster, Maryland, and Budapest, Hungary. During his tenure, McDaniel has been rated highly by US News, Kiplinger's, and Colleges That Change Lives; named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll; and commended by The New America Foundation for generous support of low-income students. McDaniel is currently experiencing its largest, most diverse applicant pools and highest selectivity ever.
Dr. Casey has overseen an architectural award-winning renovation of Englar Dining Hall and construction of Kenneth R. Gill Stadium, donor financed at $8.3M. The College has completed the first phase of a $3.7M renovation of Hoover Library and WMC Alumni Hall and renovated three first-year residences, funded largely through donors matching a $5M gift from alumnus Leroy Merritt, for whom the College just named its newest academic building. Recent major gifts include the largest scholarship bequest in the College's history ($6.7M), $1M for residence halls, and $420K for student-faculty research. Other initiatives include the creation of the Center for Experience and Opportunity (CEO), a single office providing comprehensive support to assure that all students engage in out-of-class learning experiences, and the launch of Global Fellows, a curriculum allowing students to internationalize their major.
A professor of English, Dr. Casey teaches courses in media, popular culture, drama, and leadership. He has spoken internationally to hundreds of organizations and authored numerous articles and the book, Textual Vehicles: The Automobile in American Literature. His cultural analysis has appeared in The New York Times, Forbes, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, USA Today, and on CNN, ABC, and CBS. He appears regularly on Baltimore's WYPR. Roger's current scholarship addresses both generational issues and social media in higher education. A Kellogg Fellow, Roger has traveled to nearly eighty countries, studying the role of vision in creating diverse communities. He also serves as vice-chair of the Maryland Independent College and University Association (MICUA), and on the executive boards of Maryland-DC Campus Compact, the I-Fund, and the NCAA Presidents' Advisory Committee.
Roger has also received theatrical recognition. His credits include acting the lead in David Mamet's Oleanna and directing Pulitzer-Prize-winners Three Tall Women and How I Learned to Drive. He has worked extensively with his wife, Robyn Allers (a writer, actor, and former director of the Cornell Fine Arts Museum), most recently in a stage adaptation of letters between F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.
A Phi Beta Kappan and first-generation college graduate, President Casey holds an M.A. and a Ph.D. in English from Florida State University and a B.A. from Furman University in his native South Carolina. From 2000-10, he served as Provost & Vice President for Academic Affairs at Rollins College in Winter Park (Orlando), Florida. For nine years prior, he served Birmingham-Southern College in Alabama as an Associate Dean and professor. Casey is also the co-founder of the Associated Colleges of the South's Teaching and Learning Workshop. He received Distinguished Teaching awards from Birmingham-Southern and Florida State, was a nominee for the Carnegie National Professor of the Year, and was awarded the Decoration of Honor by Rollins.

The Dolphins (6-7) scored seven runs with two outs to earn their second straight win and improve to 5-2 at home. The Seahawks (1-9) recorded five of their eight hits in the final three innings, but were held off the board by the JU pitching staff.
"This was another good effort for us," JU head coach Terry Alexander said. "We had a very good approach at the plate tonight. This is a good time to keep improving each contest so we can have some momentum as we head toward A-Sun play."
Freshman Alex McRae drove in three runs to pace the JU offense, while juniors Adam Brett Walker II had three doubles and two RBI. Sophomore Jimmy Appleby and junior Jake Huxtable each had two RBI. Junior Dan Gulbransen went 3-for-4 with three runs scored on the evening.
Sophomore Chris Anderson (1-0) earned his first win of the season by scattering five hits and fanning five batters in seven innings. Freshman RC Williams and sophomore Adam Maxon closed the contest with a scoreless relief frame apiece.
Dakota Dvorak (0-2) took the loss for Wagner after allowing eight runs on seven hits in 3.2 innings. Bill Murphy led the offense with three hits.
In the first inning, Huxtable hit a one-out home run to get the Dolphins on the board. Gulbransen followed with a hit and advanced to third on a Walker II double. Senior Jonathan Murphy plated Gulbransen on a ground out for the 2-0 advantage.
Sophomore Taylor Ratliff led off the third inning with a single and stole second. After a fly out moved Ratliff to third, Dvorak induced a ground out, but issued consecutive walks to load the bases. McRae scored two with a single to center field, while Appleby followed with a two-run double to break the contest open.
The Dolphins took a 7-0 lead in the fourth inning after Ratliff scored on a Huxtable sacrifice fly. Gulbransen singled to keep the inning alive before scoring on a Walker II double in the next at-bat.
Walker II doubled home Gulbransen again in the sixth inning to make it a 9-0 lead. He later scored on a two-out single from McRae.
Anderson ran into little trouble, scattering two hits and fanning four in the first three innings. Wagner got runners on first and second with one out in the fourth inning, but Anderson struck out Murphy and senior catcher Matt Frank threw out a leaning runner at first to quash the threat.
The Seahawks had a runner at second in the final two frames before Williams and Frank got the final out of the inning.
JU left-hander Corben Madden (1-0, 7.56 ERA) is scheduled to face Wagner right-hander Ryan Van Spronsen (1-0, 2.77 ERA) in game two of the series Saturday at 1 p.m. in John Sessions Stadium.

St. Louis Cardinals slugger and three-time National League MVP Albert Pujols is eyeing a possible return to the lineup as early as tonight in the second portion of a three-game series versus the NL Central-rival Cincinnati Reds at Busch Stadium. On the disabled list since June 20 due to a fractured left wrist suffered in a collision at first base the day before against Kansas City, Pujols was originally scheduled to miss at least four weeks.
Pujols appears ready to go Tuesday, the first day he is eligible to come off the disabled list, and has been taking ground balls and swinging a bat at full strength. Pujols said there is no pain in the wrist and has full range of motion doing what he does best. He is expected to meet with Cardinals physician Dr. George Paletta Tuesday morning.
"Whenever he gives the OK, I'll be on the field playing," Pujols said. "Hopefully, the test and everything goes well. Whatever the doctors say, and the trainer, then I'll follow that. I feel right where I want to be right now. I'm pretty excited. I can't wait to be back on the field, whatever the time is."
The Cardinals didn't need the nine-time All-Star, who was hitting .279 with 17 homers and 45 RBI in 73 games at the time of his injury, during Monday's 1-0 win behind eight shutout innings from fellow veteran Chris Carpenter. The right-hander allowed six hits to improve to 4-7 on the season. Fernando Salas struck out two in the ninth for his 15th save for St. Louis, which is 6-7 without Pujols and leads the NL Central by one game over Milwaukee and 1 1/2 games in front of Pittsburgh. The Reds are three games off the pace.

Model-Slash: Jewelry Designer Nicole Trunfio-------
Nicole Trunfio's career started with a bang at age 17 when Tom Ford discovered her during his time at Gucci, and in the past ten years, the Australian model has walked the runways for Versace, Roberto Cavalli, and Valentino, among others, and starred in campaigns for Karl Lagerfeld, Dolce & Gabbana, and Guess. These days, however, instead of pounding the catwalks, you're more likely to find Trunfio sitting in the front rows, preening for photographers at events, or hard at work in her jewelry studio. The 26-year-old launched her fine jewelry line, Trunfio Jewels, last month after three years of conception. Each bracelet (her signature is the Universe Bracelet, a simple band with interchangeable charms), stackable ring, or pair of earrings incorporates a pyramid in the design, which is strong, defined, and timeless, according to Trunfio. "I'm more about a concept and don't buy costume jewelry at all. I think that in today's market, what's more important is investment pieces that are personal," she told Style.com of the line, which is available to purchase through her Web site. "For example, I wear a gold Rolex every single day and didn't really wear a watch until I could get my gold Rolex."
Trunfio has dabbled with jewelry design in the past (she studied it in school), but this project is her most focused and hands-on to date. "I'm a perfectionist and guess the reason why this collection took me so long was I really wanted to be involved in the process—get in there, sketching and designing, working with the casters and jewelers, polishing and examining every surface myself, art-directing the Web site," she explained. "I can truly see myself doing this when I'm an old granny." For the time being, Trunfio plans on releasing one new collection each year. Her next lineup will be based on the Zodiac ("I look at Astrology Zone obsessively and truly believe in horoscopes," she said), and she also has a men's capsule in the works (think bracelets with more masculine charms like pavé diamond bullets and skulls). As if that weren't enough, Trunfio is also the front woman of electro-rock band Henry Blak. They had their first performance one year ago during NYFW at Milk and have been working on recording, mixing, and shopping their EP around to record labels. It helps that Trunfio's father is a musician and she has been singing her entire life. It's a lot to juggle, but Trunfio keeps her cool about multitasking. "I'm more dedicated and passionate than ever about seeing my personal vision through." Here, Trunfio shows off her own designs.

Somewhere, right about now, while you are reading this piece, the 2031 Kentucky Freshman class is being born. Somewhere a father is holding his son or daughter and dreams of them putting on the Blue and White for the glory of UK, not to mention the millions of dollars that the future may hold for them after they take that Blue and White off in a variety of ways.
Why Kentucky? Why would anyone want to come here when they can go to UCLA and soak up the sun, or go to Duke and it's favored status among ESPN viewers? Why would anyone want the pressure cooker that is Kentucky basketball, and now UK hoops and soon to be UK football (we hope)? Why not go somewhere that the expectations are less, be a star, and take what the world has to offer at a much more manageable pace? I mean, you can get TV coverage at a community college these days. Is it really that important to be at UK? A recent study says that of 1511 U.S. Universities, Kentucky only ranks 345th in value for dollar spent on tuition, so it's not that you get a huge bang for your buck … or do you?
If we only look at the dollars spent as a student, UK pales in comparison to a lot of other schools. 344 of them to be exact. Does this, however, reflect everything about the university and what it has to offer? That depends on what you are going to do with an education. When it comes to athletics, the intrinsic value of being at The University of Kentucky is huge beyond measure, and it grows by the minute. Let's break down what we are looking at, starting with that survey that shows UK at 345th.
First off, 345th out of 1511 is not too shabby. That puts Kentucky in the top 25% of all colleges in the land. For anyone wanting more from a flagship school from Kentucky, I suggest you look no further than little brother who came in at a respectable but lagging 666th. But I digress. We are discussing athletes and their plight. What of the young man or woman that comes and laces up his shoes and walks on to the hardwood?
Scholarship money aside, what benefit is there in coming to UK? When I used the word "intrinsic", it was not in any way meant to mislead or misdirect you. The IS an intrinsic value in coming to UK. It is much higher than most other schools, and is easily valued. Some will say that this is where the "bragging rights" come in, and that would be true, but only to a point.
First and foremost, the UK facilities are the best in the nation. We are second to no one when it comes to amenities for the student-athlete, and we spare no expense to keep them that way. We will bring in horse money, coal money, or any other kind of legal financial support to give the Kentucky kids the best there is. Second, and this one will spur all the debates, they receive the best instruction in all areas of need, from on court performance, to financial advice, to expected behaviors. This stretches from coaching, to handling the press, to general classroom instruction. No one takes better care of their players, within the guidelines of the NCAA's structure for doing so.
Thirdly, and possibly the most important for the recruits that Coach Cal is bringing in, is the system in which they will learn about what not to do, every bit as much as what to do when they leave Kentucky. Our players leave this system better prepared and more successful than any other in college basketball at the present time. All the headlines are about the one and done player at Kentucky, as though UK is the only school which allows such a horrendous event to occur. What does not get advertised are the three players this year who have already graduated and received their diplomas. They are an afterthought for critics and nay-sayers. This means that the system works if you want a degree, or if you don't. Best of both worlds.
Is our track record perfect? Frankly, no. We have our Daniel Orton's who do not use the resources that are provided and try to work their way around the requirements set before every player that walks into Coach Calipari's office the first time. We are not, however, mass producing illiterates at UK. We are not just a fly-by-night operation waiting for the next NCAA hammer to fall. What we are is the next step in the evolution of college basketball, until the rules change and we must change. Our ratio of true student-athlete to poser is high, very high. We graduate players, we put players in the NBA. And sometimes, when the player wants it badly enough to make the sacrifices that are needed, we can do both. This makes us no different than any other school out there, and better than most.
When the whiners and haters line up to call us out, they will bring up the past. Frankly, because that's all they have. No scandals in UK's basketball program since the days when Rick Pitino strolled the sidelines almost 25 years ago. We don't have employees scalping tickets, even though the UK Basketball ticket is one of the hottest in the country. I have used the term "Showtime" in the past as an homage of sorts to the glory days of the Lakers. When Jack Nicholson and others were seen night after night, watching the greatest show in the NBA. The Lakers didn't always win, but they won a lot. They have the banners hanging in the rafters to prove it. Sound familiar? The Lakers have enjoyed the talents of many a coaching superstar on their bench as Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, and others have made that court their home away from home. Kentucky also has that heritage. We have seen this program make many a coach household names, from Rupp, to Hall, to Pitino, to Smith and now Calipari. These things all make for a mountain of evidence that there is no better place to be than UK.
When you look around the nation at other programs, there are many really good ones. Kansas, North Carolina, Duke, Indiana, UCLA, Georgetown, and a host of others that can call themselves "Bluebloods". They have a history entrenched in tradition, and have banners hanging in their rafters as well. They compete with us, as well as the rest of the college world, for what is elusive to some, misunderstood by others, and embraced by few. We are the standard by which all other programs are measured. When we fail, the sport fails, and suffers for that failure. When we succeed, there are plenty of opponents to complain, who then go back home and try to figure out what they can do to duplicate our success.
I remember a picture of the great Reds catcher Johnny Bench holding
5 7 baseballs in one hand back in the 1970's. Five.Seven (corrected as per below) The man had huge hands. He changed the way the position of catcher was played. Yet he was only one cog in the Big Red Machine; and not even the one considered to be the most important on the team. The team excelled because they had a system in place which provided success like no other organization in professional baseball in the 70's. Kentucky has that type of a system in place. There are checks and balances, there are people and resources that you simply do not get elsewhere.
I guess the real question that we need to be asking here is, "Why go anywhere else?"

Blackburn and Darwen GP surgeries paid for 'ghost patients' still on their registers
8:00pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in Darwen By Lawrence Dunhill, Health Reporter
GP surgeries in Blackburn with Darwen are being paid for thousands of 'ghost patients' who appear on their registers, despite them having died or moved away.
The number of patients registered with doctors exceeds the borough's population by about 20,000, with the mismatch thought to be costing the NHS more than £1 million per year.
Russ McLean, chairman of the Pennine Lancashire Patient Voices Group, said it was an 'alarming' situation which may have been caused by a 'transient population' of students or refugees failing to de-register with surgeries when they move.
He added: "Our doctors are already well paid, so I hate to think they are benefitting from having these patients on their lists. We simply cannot afford to continue paying for this out of public funds.
"Surgeries should do all they can to make sure their lists are up to date, but patients also have to take responsibility and make sure they inform their surgery when they move."
There are currently 169,543 patients registered with GPs in Blackburn with Darwen, while the borough's latest population figure, for 2012, was 147,489. Practices are paid about £65 per year for each patient on their list, meaning the borough's doctors could be receiving an extra £1.3 million.
The East Lancashire area has 371,918 patients registered with GPs, against a population total of about 382,000, which suggests there could be about 10,000 patients not registered with a practice.
GPs are paid with public funds, but are private contractors rather than employees of the NHS. An average family doctor earns about £100,000 per year.
NHS England, which commissions GP services, said in a statement: "In the majority of cases, GP practices work hard to keep their registered patient lists as accurate as they can and our area teams are working closely with them to achieve this.
"It is really important that patients keep their GPs informed if they are changing practices or leaving the area so that their registration can be amended."

CATEGORIES MoviesPhil, Alan, Stu, and Doug are back, and if the first official teaser trailer for "The Hangover Part III" is any indication, things haven't changed too much with the Wolfpack.
While the final installment of the popular series has abandoned the bachelor party and wedding premise of the first two films, the debauchery and high-stakes shenanigans on display in the new trailer promise that the booze-soaked, bad decision-based spirit of the original movies remains intact.
This time around, returning actors Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, and Justin Bartha are joined by several new faces, including Melissa McCarthy, who shares a truly disturbing exchange of a lollipop with Galifianakis that reduces Helms's Stu to dry-heaving. John Goodman also makes his series debut, and franchise regulars Ken Jeong, Heather Graham, and Jamie Chung all reprise their roles.
The trailer closes with a simultaneously hilarious and horrifying gag involving Alan's new pet giraffe and a highway overpass, which certainly lives up to the clip's promise that the film is an "epic conclusion to the trilogy of mayhem and bad decisions." Here's hoping the rest of the movie follows suit.
"The Hangover Part III" hits theaters May 24.

2009 Annual Report from HAD 4
Mayo Regional Hospital's stable financial position allowed it to experience continued success in recruiting new medical staff members in 2009. Physicians joining the staff included Gail Lamb, D.O., at Guilford Medical Associates, and both Walter Doerfler, D.O. and Andrew Fletcher, M.D. in the Emergency Department.
Seven new mid-level providers also came aboard during the year: Carolyn Wiese, PA-C, Joanne Reiniger, PA-C and Cynthia Levick, FNP at Dover-Foxcroft Family Medicine, David Johnson, PA-C at WorkWISE, Hilary Hudson, PA-C at Mayo Orthopedics, David Nevins, PA-C at Dexter Family Practice, and Diana Vandermast, FNP at Milo Family Practice.
Several hospital departments expanded their services, most notably Mayo's Counseling Program, which occupied a new location on High Street in Dover-Foxcroft for its psychiatry practice, mental health and substance abuse counseling services. Mayo Counseling also joined forces with the Charlotte White Center to provide comprehensive behavioral health services at the new site.
Mayo Emergency Medical Services collaborated with Corinth Fire and Rescue to expand its ambulance coverage to that community, with the Corinth base also covering Bradford and Charleston. The hospital's Radiology Department added a digital mammography system, investing $408,000 in the most advanced technology for breast cancer detection.
Four Mayo department leaders received statewide recognition. David McDermott, M.D., medical director of emergency services, was installed as president of the Maine Medical Association. Lynne Gagnon, director of patient care services, was named president-elect of OMNE/Nursing Leaders of Maine. Lisa Fortier, director of social services, was chosen Social Work Leader of the Year. Judy Gerrish, Heartwise director, was named "Star of Life" winner by the Northeastern EMS Council.
Mayo responded to the national economic recession with a comprehensive financial improvement process involving a lineby- line review of all operating expenses. Dozens of cost-saving ideas were identified and implemented, helping Mayo pare almost $3 million from its operating budget for 2009-2010.
By maintaining tight fiscal discipline, Mayo was able to preserve its current employment level and absorb an increased demand for charity care in the community, while also generating a modest operating margin.

Targeting the Big Three: Challenging Behaviors, Mealtime Behaviors, and Toileting
Yoo, J. Helen
New York State Institute for Basic Research
Community Grants
Staten Island
United States
The goal of this proposal is to create a behavioral curriculum for hands-on trainings for parents, caregivers, and service providers that address the most frequent and problematic areas of daily living: management of challenging behaviors, mealtime behaviors, and toileting. the curriculum will be based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and focus on developing the specific techniques and skills that have proved to be successful in these areas. the four-part approach of this proposal will entail curriculum development, technological transfer of this information via a train-the-trainer model, on-site interactive training of staff and caregivers, and hands-on follow-up with individuals with ASD themselves.

Emergency Response
IRD's expert multidisciplinary teams have been at the center of the response to virtually every major disaster of the past decade, including the 2004 Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the 2009 Haitian earthquake, the 2010 flooding in Pakistan, and the 2011 drought in the Horn of Africa. IRD has also been involved in the humanitarian response to many conflict-based crises, including in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Lebanon, Georgia, Pakistan, and Libya. Our emergency response teams arrive immediately after a natural or man-made disaster strikes to identify and respond to the most immediate needs; then we continue support through the critical recovery and rehabilitation phases. Because IRD has operations around the world, we understand the local cultural and political context, and our staff is positioned for quick response. After the crisis stabilizes, our humanitarian assistance teams design recovery and rehabilitation programs that smoothly transition activities to IRD's long-term development experts. From the very start and through all phases of our work, IRD is committed to the principle of "building back better." We infuse our programs with strategies and techniques of disaster risk reduction so communities can prosper and better withstand any future disaster.

Consistency and availability have defined Ravens SLB Jarret Johnson's career in Baltimore. The ninth-year pro from Alabama has played in 129 consecutive regular-season games and started 80 regular-season contests in a row, both franchise records. The 6-3, 260-pound Johnson, who notched 56 tackles and 2½ sacks in 2011, is one of many stout presences on an annually productive and tough defense. In a recent interview with PFW, OLB Terrell Suggs said Johnson's physicality and feistiness stand out. "He's definitely one of the toughest guys we've got, not only on defense, but on this team," said Suggs, part of the same draft class as Johnson in 2003. "He's a Webster's Dictionary version of a blue-collar guy. He just shows up to work. When it comes to outside linebackers and playing physical against the run, there is no one better than Jarret Johnson." Johnson, 30, is slated to be an unrestricted free agent at season's end.

Macmillan: 'Nonsensical' for councils to identify carers
Serious changes should be made the to care bill, currently making its way through Parliament, to better support carers, a leading health charity has said.
Ciaran Devane, chief executive of Macmillan Cancer Support said it was "nonsensical" that the care bill places a legal duty solely on local authorities to identify and support cancer carers.
– chief executive of macmillan Ciaran Devane
Caring is a huge responsibility taken on out of duty and love. Families and carers are the backbone of society and they deserve to be supported.
Without support, cancer carers can go beyond breaking point which is bad for them and their loved one but is also costly to the NHS and ultimately to the taxpayer.
By identifying cancer carers and explaining what information and support is available, health professionals can vastly improve their quality of life and help them to continue caring - which is what they want to do.

They were not new at all on the outside..rust..over spray paint...etc
just what I needed.
as expected
Container met my expectations - overall a good deal.
Was used but in great condition. The UPS guy was not happy with my purchase as it is a heavy duty container and he had to lug it out of the truck. Has 6 toggle clamps to hold lid shut, and pressure valve to check seal. Works good as a poor man gun safe with a couple locks added.
Great storage box,very rugged and versatile. I bought one before and had to get another one.

Bascom Lamar Lunsford plays I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground
This 1928 Brunswick recording is probably Bascom Lamar Lunsford's best-known performance. Like the previous Lunsford performance posted to this blog, this is an assemblage of commonplace verses. Grammarians will note the incorrect formation of the subjunctive case. As William Saffire would no doubt point out, it should be "I Wish I Were a Mole in the Ground." Ahem.
