Mayo Regional Hospital's new Emergency Department opened in May, 2002. The department is connected to the patient registration area off the main lobby of the hospital. It has a separate walk-in entry for pedestrian traffic and a canopied, two-bay ambulance entrance. It is conveniently located just around the corner from Radiology and Cardiopulmonary Services. An elevator connects the department directly to the Medical/Surgical Unit on the hospital's second floor.
The Department has a private triage area and nine treatment rooms, including special facilities for orthopedic patients, trauma and critical care, cardiac care with monitoring, and routine visit care. There is a spacious and sunny waiting area for families. The department is organized around a central nursing station, where staff are only a few steps away from any patient at all times. Most rooms have a television that can be used by patients and their families when waits are needed for tests to be processed in the laboratory or radiology.
Emergency Department Provider Staff:
Mayo's Emergency Department is staffed 24 hours a day, every day, as we respond to over 13,000 patient visits annually. The clinical teams are led by physicians and physician assistants who have special training in Emergency Assessment and Care. The members of the medical staff of Mayo Regional Hospital are on call for the department in every specialty available at the hospital for consultation, if needed. In addition, we have a direct video conference link for trauma patients with the trauma surgery team at Eastern Maine Medical Center which can bring the eyes and ears of their trauma surgeons right into the examination room here when we need their guidance and support.
David B. McDermott, MD, MPH, a family practice physician who has worked at Mayo Regional since 1993, is medical director of the Emergency Department.
David Flaherty PA-C
David Flaherty, PA-C, MPAS has joined Mayo Regional Hospital's Emergency Department as a Physician Assistant. Flaherty has 22 years' experience as a PA, mostly in Emergency Medicine, both in Connecticut and Maryland. He has moved to Dover-Foxcroft from Maryland, where his most recent position was Clinical Physician Assistant, Trauma Service, Department of Surgery, at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Flaherty started his healthcare career in 1978 as a EMT/Paramedic. He earned his PA Certificate and B.S. degree in Health Sciences from the Physician Assistant Program at The George Washington University, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, in 1989. He was valedictorian of his Physician Assistant class at George Washington. In 2005, Flaherty added a Master's degree in Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS), with a concentration in Neurosurgery, from the University of Nebraska. Flaherty is a 1st Lt. in the U.S. Army Reserves Physician Assistant Medical Specialist Corps, and has volunteered as a primary care PA with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

She has a B.S. degree from the University of Vermont and earned her physician assistant certificate in 1988 from the Yale University School of Medicine. Dumont worked in the Emergency Department at Penobscot Valley Hospital in Lincoln, Maine from 1989-2004.
William Sheppard PA-C
William S. Sheppard, PA-C, has worked at Mayo since 1996. Bill graduated from Essex Technical College in Massachusetts and worked as a Surgical Assistant before completing his B.S. in Physician Assistant training at Hahnemann University Medical College in Philadelphia, and his M.S. in health sciences from Redding College. He is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Physician Assistants. He is an Advanced Cardiac Life Support instructor and Pediatric Advanced Life Support instructor, and has a special interest in emergency medicine and orthopaedic disease and injury.
Emergency Department Nursing Staff
The Emergency Department is staffed with a full complement of Registered Nurses (RNs). Many have specialty certification in Emergency and Trauma Nursing. All are trained to provide care to adult, geriatric or pediatric patients.
Valerie Philpot, RN is the department's nurse manager.
Unit Coordinators
These folks are truly special. They are the counter clerks you see at the desk upon arrival. They do every thing that has to do with the paper and records, plus answer phones, contact physicians, coordinate care with the laboratory, find your old medical records, arrange for radiology tests and log patients in and out of the department. They are the unsung heroes of the department.
For Your Safety
Many patients have more than one provider involved in their care. We ask that you bring with you to the department every medication you are now taking, including over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements. It is critically important that we know the specific medications you take and the doses of them. No list is a substitute for seeing the actual bottles. If you don't know what you are taking and why you are taking it then we won't know what you are taking, and this can become a dangerous place for you when your own health status on the line. This is an important step you should take for your own protection
We see a number of patients with acute pain. Every attempt will be made to provide you with resources to help you cope with the pain that your condition brings to you. However, Emergency Departments are often used by people with narcotic and other addictions to gain access to medications for purposes other than treatment, including abuse and diversion (selling to others). We use a number of tools to assess risk for this in the department, including coordination with your primary care physicians, reviewing old records, and checking the Prescription Monitoring Program run by the State of Maine for patterns that might support prescription drug overuse or abuse.
Violence is becoming an increasingly accepted part of life in our complex society. We want our department to be a place of healing from injuries. The department is locked to control access at all times. We do ask that you leave any potential weapons (knives, guns, or concealed weapons) secured in your vehicle before you enter the department for care or to visit your loved ones. Our staff members are here to help and to heal. Because of this we will not tolerate violence or threats of violence against our staff or the facility. Aggressive and/or violent behavior by patients or their visitors will not be tolerated, and may lead to involvement of local law enforcement.
What to Expect During Your Visit to Mayo Regional Hospital
Our Emergency Department (ED) is a constantly changing place. Sometimes it is quiet and steady as patients come through with minor illnesses and injuries. Other times, our department is alive with action as emergency care experts pull critically ill or injured patients from ambulances -- and try to save lives. No matter how busy we may be, the ED is always open, and the people who work here are always prepared to care for all types of emergencies.
Learn what to expect during a visit to the ED in terms of wait times, triage, visitors, diagnosis, and the team approach to care.
Wait Times
Like emergency departments around the nation, our ED sometimes gets overcrowded. We do our best to treat patients as soon as possible, but sometimes there is a wait. Even though we try to work as quickly as we can, we must always take the time we need to make sure our patients are safely cared for. How fast you are seen depends on "acuity" which describes how urgent a patient's needs may be, as determined by a system we call "triage".
Patients who do not require immediate, life-saving action from a doctor or physician assistant may first be sent to the triage room, where nurses evaluate their vital signs, and patients are interviewed about their condition. If a bed is available, the patient will be moved to a room at that time. If there is no bed available, the patient will be moved to the waiting room. Once you have been seen by the triage nurse, you appear on our "tracking board" so we can see who should be seen next, according to "acuity" and time of arrival. Patients who arrive with serious or potentially life-threatening conditions may be taken directly to the ED treatment area and will be seen immediately by nurses and/or medical staff.
Patients can choose who can visit them while they are in the ED. Once patients are in an exam room, they may ask their nurse to bring their visitors to that area. ED staff may limit the number of visitors based on patient safety and patient care needs.
After obtaining information about a patient, the emergency provider does a physical examination to determine an appropriate diagnosis. If a diagnosis cannot be determined from the examination and other available information, the provider may order tests, such as X-rays or blood tests. In difficult cases, the provider may talk with other specialists to determine an appropriate diagnosis and further course of action.
Team Approach to Care
Patients are cared for by both nurses and medical team members in the department. Our unit coordinators work to manage records and ensure that the department runs smoothly. Other health team members such as laboratory or radiology (X-Ray) staff may be involved in patient care. Mayo Regional Hospital is committed to making sure that all team members talk with each other to provide our patients with the best and safest care possible.
Thank you for choosing Mayo
Regional Hospital for your
emergency care!

Petition to Save Honors Classes
Save Honors Classes in the Rockford Public Schools.
"Excellence Everywhere" is said to be the commitment. What about our schools?
As parents, students, teachers, business owners and taxpayers, we are dismayed at the decision to eliminate Honors courses from Rockford schools without notice to, or input from, the Board of Education, educators, parents and community members.
We understand it is the right of every student to have access to a rigorous curriculum that is designed to challenge their minds, enhance their knowledge and skills and prepare them for success in college and work.
We respectfully request the Board of Education to reject this decision and insist on a 2011-2012 high school course selection which includes, at a minimum, the Honors courses offered in the 2010-2011 school year.
School Board to Consider a Reprieve for Honors Classes.
Cutting Honors Classes Hurts Rockford.

"People remember the hard times," Bill Jamerson's mother used to tell him.
His March 11 Batesville Memorial Public Library program called "Dollar-A-Day Boys: A Musical Tribute to the Civilian Conservation Corps" included stories, a short video, original songs and an excerpt from his novel "Big Shoulders," about a 17-year-old Detroit youth who enlists in the CCC.
The resident of Escanaba, an Upper Peninsula Michigan town, told 16 attendees President Franklin Delano Roosevelt came into office "with the promise of a New Deal for American people. Roosevelt knew that something had to be done" to put the massive amounts of jobless back to work. "The desire to help your fellow man is never wrong." During the Depression, "if you lived on a farm, you had no money. You might have some food. If you lived in a city, you had no job."
The 80th anniversary of CCC's start is March 31. Just like World War II veterans, the numbers of CCC enrollees has dwindled. The youngest are about 89 now.
Jamerson got interested in this slice of U.S. history when he attended a 1992 Civilian Conservation Corps reunion with 500 past enrollees. "You never saw a more enthusiastic group in my life. They were so genuine, so real."
His first PBS documentary, "Camp Forgotten – The Civilian Conservation Corps in Michigan," was followed by 10 more films for Michigan Public Television in the mid-1990s. "I made them heroes" by telling the CCC story. Now Jamerson travels to schools, libraries, CCC events and other gatherings to speak on one of three topics he has researched – the corps, lumberjacks and iron mining.
He asked attendees if they knew any CCC members. Beulah Wessel, who grew up in Fairfax, Ohio, remembered her neighbor, Joe Schultz. "He had food to eat. He had worked hard" to support his mother and a sibling.
Patty Campbell of the Sisters of St. Francis said CCC "really changed" her cousin, Bob Tackett, who lived in Blue Ridge, Va. "He became so skilled in certain things," such as installing wood floors in bowling alleys. "He really made a life for himself."
Maggie Fain, Brookville, recalled that her father-in-law, one of 13 poor kids living in a log house, helped build roads through the Smoky Mountains.
"Job No. 1 in Indiana was working with farmers," the guitarist pointed out. "You had a lot of soil erosion and no fertilizer to speak of." Five drainage projects were toured during a 1936 symposium in Elwood. Purdue University educators presented a demonstration on how to create a ditch using dynamite.
"Farmers don't have time to repair gulleys," so CCC workers did that task along with installing fencing and planting black locust trees. They also terraced hills, crushed limestone for fertilizer, planted grass to lessen river erosion and used wing dams to redirect river currents.
In Indiana, over 63,000 enrollees also fought forest fires and built roads and bridges, according to Jamerson.
They constructed state parks, including Versailles, Turkey Run, Ouabache, Pokagon, Fort Harrison and Mounds. The speaker explained CCC buildings are "much more beautiful" than Works Progress Administration structures because Italian and Swedish artisans were the stone masons, assisted by CCC personnel, who faced and lined the rocks.
Each work camp "was a big operation." Barracks were filled with cots, bunks and foot lockers. The camp contained a recreation building, infirmary, water tower and generator building.
Each was run by 20 military officers, mostly unemployed World War I veterans. "Nobody looked down on each other. They were all from the unemployment rolls." Revelry was at 6 a.m. and curfew at 10 p.m.
"A lot of these guys came with chips on their shoulders," Jamerson noted. "They thought they were born at the wrong time .... They came from humble backgrounds." Georgia enrollees arrived at their camps barefoot. "They had all never owned a pair of shoes in their lives. Some had never had sheets on beds before."
The camps not only revitalized the state's natural resources, but also taught the young men job skills and encouraged discipline.
One CCC worker remembered, "I never worked so hard in my life." Now "they have equipment to fight fires. We had shovels." Vintage films showed men planting potatoes by hand and cutting trees down in the snow.
With plentiful food, the average usually scrawny CCC man put on 18 pounds. Main courses ranged from lamb, pot roast and corned beef to Virginia baked ham, pork chops and lots of venison.
One Idaho enrollee raved about "the most delicious cinnamon rolls" an old lumberjack baker made. A Detroit man had never had blueberries before his CCC experience. He told Jamerson, "'We had blueberry turnovers and muffins and pancakes and pie.' He thought he had died and gone to heaven."
One man told Jamerson, "'I felt like shouting 'Hallelujah' every time I walked into the mess hall'" and Jamerson thought it sounded like a song title, so he wrote lyrics about the great food.
While the workers were eating well, some of their relatives were starving. In Michigan, an enrollee grabbed some stale cereal a cook had thrown out. He hitched a ride on a freight train in winter, then walked 19 miles to give his brothers and sisters the cereal.
The civilians had a saying: "Life begins at 4 o'clock." In addition to baseball practice, there were boxing, horseshoes, chess, checkers and poker competitions and hillbilly music, ham radio and photography clubs.
Practical joking was rampant, with snakes and fish hidden in sheets and a stuffed mountain lion placed beside a bed to scare a just awakening worker.
At a Michigan camp, Jewish, Catholic and Protestant services were conducted by one chaplain.
Some of the young men voluntarily took classes after dinner to earn their eighth-grade diplomas. Unemployed teachers also taught vocational classes, such as welding, truck driving and engine repair. "They got hired (after being in the CCC) because they knew how to work and they had skills."
On the weekends, the men went bowling and roller skating and to movies and dance halls.
Some citizens were jealous of CCC workers because they had jobs. The men were considered roughnecks and had derogatory nicknames like cedar savages and cross country cockroaches. "They won over the local communities" by becoming Good Samaritans. The civilians helped at accidents and formed a search party to find a child lost in the woods. During a blizzard, they shoveled out a woman in labor. The enrollees spent 17 hours digging a 30-foot-deep trench to save a man trapped in a cave-in.
"They might have signed up for adventure or a square meal, but the reason they stuck with" the Civilian Conservation Corps was to financially support their families.
"One woman said it best" after a Jamerson program. She told him "the greatest thing CCC did for America was give us a lot of great husbands!"
• The Civilian Conservation Corps, a federal works program, was part of the National Recovery Act during the Great Depression. Over its nine-year run from 1933-42, 3.5 million young men between 17-25 enlisted. They were known as "Roosevelt's Tree Army" because they planted over 3 billion. The enrollees were each paid a dollar a day. Twenty-five dollars a month was sent home directly to their families.

Screening of Student Films: Three new films produced by student teams on a diversity of topics
The Lewis Center for the Arts' Program in Visual Arts will present a screening of three new short documentaries created by students on Friday, January 18 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the James M. Stewart '32 Theater at 185 Nassau Street. The screening is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
The films to be screened were created by students in a fall undergraduate course, "Documentary Filmmaking," taught by filmmaker Emily Abt.
The student films to be premiered are:
Lost Boy, an intimate look into the life of a young man struggling to find his way out of the world of drugs and violence that traps both him and his family, was directed and produced by Rana Campbell with Sandra Fong '13 as cinematographer and editor, and Shaina Watrous as co-producer and gaffer.
Battle for the Field chronicles Princeton, a town steeped in both history and academia as it fights over land important to both sectors. The film was directed and edited by Brady Valashinas with Thomas Gibbons serving as cinematographer and producer and Lynse Cooper as sound recordist and gaffer.
Moo, a story of "the strongest little girl you'll ever meet, and her biggest fan... her Tiger Family ," was directed and produced by Christina Maida with Eric Traub as cinematographer and editor and Adam Locher serving as gaffer and sound recordist.
"It's been an honor to witness the emerging talent of my students," notes Abt. "Filmmaking is a kinetic art form, one has to do it in real time to understand it. These students have bravely plunged into the making of their own films and in doing so, are learning their lessons through experience. In the words of the great filmmaker Robert Bresson, they are also, 'making visible what might perhaps never have been seen.'"
Abt was selected as one of Variety magazine's "Top 10 Directors to Watch," and is an award-winning filmmaker dedicated to creating fiction and documentary projects with social-issue themes. She has produced documentaries for Showtime, PBS, the OWN Network, MTV and the Sundance Channel. Recent narrative projects include True To The Game, a screen adaptation she penned based on the New York Times bestseller and Audrey's Run, a political thriller starring Paula Patton that Abt wrote and will direct.

Update: Sylis is now in his forever home, but don't forget about his furry friends up for adoption at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.
Meet our Pet of the Week Sylis. He's an 11 year-old bull terrier/catahoula mix who is up for adoption at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.
Here's a special letter from Sylis:
"Hi, I'm Sylis. Even though I'm an older guy, I can still run with the best of them. So don't let my age fool ya! I'm still very active, I love to go for walks and get a breath of fresh air. Sniffing every blade of grass is a goal of mine, so I hope you're not in too much of a hurry when we go for our daily strolls. I'm just an all-around nice guy who would really love to find a forever home soon. This shelter stuff just doesn't suit me well, and I'm starting to feel a little lonely here. I miss having a human to call my own…and I'm a really good friend.
"I qualify for the shelter's Senior to Senior program. If you are 55 or older and adopt me, my adoption fee is waived and all you pay for is my rabies tag. Even though I'm still pretty active, I do enjoy lounging around too so I think a senior companion is right up my alley!"
If you adopt Sylis, his initial exam is free compliments of our Pet Connections' vet sponsors:
Peggy's Picks is sponsored by Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League in West Palm Beach, Harmony Animal Hospital in Jupiter and Community Animal Hospital in Royal Palm Beach.

The unit will include one Toledo police officer and one Lucas County sheriff's deputy who will circulate the downtown courthouse square and business district area together. The area includes a mix of office and residential space, as well as social service and criminal justice buildings.
"This is yet another way the city and the county can partner to address the concerns of our citizens and businesses," said Toledo Mayor Mike Bell. "I appreciate the sheriff and the commissioner's efforts to devote staffing to this patrol unit and their ongoing efforts to collaborate for the benefit of Toledo and Lucas County."
Officials were joined by business leaders from the downtown area who voiced support for the dedicated patrol in the business district.
"Downtown is a neighborhood, and we're going to treat it that way. And we're going to do the community policing strategies we need to do to enhance public safety," said Police Chief Derrick Diggs.
Business owners are encouraged to meet and greet the two law enforcement officers as they see them on patrol.
"We're giving our officers business cards with their cell phone numbers on it. Businesses - if they need to talk to the officers - they no longer have to call 911," said Lucas County Sheriff John Tharp.
While the pair will have a specially-marked vehicle, they will also walk the downtown area, allowing them to reach out and interact with business owners, hear concerns and be aware of changing circumstances in the downtown and uptown districts.
"Sheriff Tharp deserves a lot of praise for continuing to identify opportunities for jurisdictional coordination," said the Board of Lucas County Commissioners. "This is an extension of community policing. Community policing is not a program, but a philosophy that the sheriff and his deputies strive to uphold everyday."
The team policing unit will begin this week.

Fall brings the return to school for our children and often, to the dismay of many parents, the return of head lice. Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live among human hairs and feed on small amounts of blood drawn from our scalps. They are very common and occur most frequently in children between 3 and 12 years of age.
Lice are not dangerous and do not spread …Continue reading →

Though Andrea Ballus's wedding frustrations propelled her into reality-television fame, the camera never focused on personal drama—instead, it zoomed in on the cupcakes. As she planned her marriage, Andrea couldn't find a bakery innovative enough to cater her reception. Rather than settle for tired designs, she decided to create her own cupcakes, mixing confections in signature flavors and garnishing them with edible art. These concepts led to the first incarnation of Sift—a dessert venue whose ingenious edibles have since won first place on the Food Network's Cupcake Wars and returned to compete on Cupcake Champions.
Sift's current cupcake menu pays homage to classic tastes as well as cunning combinations, from the snickerdoodle and red velvet cakes to the Knock Your Sox Off—a bavarian-cream-filled vanilla cake dipped in chocolate ganache. Visitors can pluck their favorites from the onsite displays or order custom servings that suit a wedding or party theme. In the past, Andrea and her staff have festooned cakes with images of cheerful dragonflies, company logos, and Pink Floyd album art as well as holiday graphics for New Year's and Christmas. They can even infuse the cupcake batter with a chosen wine, resulting in nearly perfect food and drink pairings.
Alongside their signature item, Sift prepares a separate catalog of nostalgic desserts, including whoopie cookies, macarons, and ice-cream sandwiches.

The Deer Park Stags, sparked by a trio of 3-pointers in the closing minutes of the first half, defeated the East Valley Knights 65-62 on Friday.
The win assured Deer Park (4-5 in the Great Northern League) a District VII tournament berth.
ŌĆ£That (the scoring spurt) was big for us,ŌĆØ said Stag head coach Ken Ryan.
Zach Mohr, Uconn Peone and Caleb Guske keyed the second quarter offensive blitz by each sinking 3-pointers.
ŌĆśWe have to win the last 3 minutes,ŌĆÖ Ryan told his team late in the first half.
The East Valley Lady Knights, using a physical defensive presence and some timely fourth quarter free throw shooting, downed the Deer Park Lady Stags 48-40 on Friday.
The Lady Stags (6-3 in the Great Northern League), led by as many as 11 points in the first half, only to see the Lady Knights (5-3) hold them to only a Kimmie Brazington free throw in the third quarter. East ValleyŌĆÖs defensive effort allowed the Lady Knights to erase a seven-point halftime deficit and take a 33-32 lead going into the final quarter.

A little more expensive than a movie ticket, but way more entertaining.
The Nitro Cinema Snowboard hooks up a legit freestyle-focused ride at a price even the most destitute resort-town local can afford. A twin shape, park-tuned flex, and Gullwing hybrid camber profile give the Cinema a forgiving, fun ride that will have you adding tricks to your bag in no time.
The Gullwing profile features rocker between the bindings with camber underfoot for a poppy ride that holds a mean edge without compromising its ability to float effortlessly in powder. Biax glass keeps it loose for a forgiving feel and a pressable flex. A directional twin shape increases float in powder and control at high speeds, yet can still easily be ridden switch. The lightweight Powercore II poplar core features inlaid beech strips for extra strength, and Profile tips are thinner at the tip and tail to reduce swing weight. Finally, an extruded base makes repairs easy, which is good because you're most likely going to be putting a few dents into this thing as you tear up every inch of the mountain this season.

The Albemarle County Police Department has a new ride Monday morning. America's 911 Foundation, a group that supports first responders and police departments, selected county police to receive a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Albemarle County police were chosen randomly out of all the departments that took part in a memorial ride hosted by America's 911 Foundation.
The foundation honors those who fell at ground zero by donating a motorcycle to a new police department every year. They also sponsor a ride that goes to each of the crash sites with a police escort.
One of the representatives of the organization says a gift like this means the department won't have to worry about using tax money to pay for new transportation.
"The police officers that come and volunteer their time to come and do this to help us, it is very much appreciated from our point of view," Roger Flick of America's 911 Foundation stated. "The motorcycle - that's our way of thanking them for what they do for us, not just for the ride, but for their communities."
As part of the award, Albemarle County police will choose the next department to receive a motorcycle at next year's ride. That ride takes places every year in the third week of August.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - A driver smashed his car under an excavator at a construction site in downtown Wilmington. Police said the man then stripped off his clothes and was wandering the streets naked.
Officers said the 20-year-old told them he took off his clothes because they got muddy in the crash.
Police received several calls from drivers who saw the man walking downtown on Saturday night.
Officers said the man smashed through a construction gate at the new downtown marina site.
They found him a few blocks away.
He received minor injuries in the crash. Police said he was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
They charged the man with hit and run. Officers have not released his name. They aren't sure at this time if drugs or alcohol played a role in the wreck.

Maybe younger folks will learn and pledge 'never again.'
This guest post comes from Mr. ToughMoneyLove at Tough Money Love.
Baby boomers have been receiving a lot of criticism in recent months for their collective contributions to our country's economic problems.
First, we are blamed for an extreme amount of debt-driven consumption that inflated highly leveraged real estate and credit bubbles. Second, we are now being blamed for an excess of saving when many so-called economic experts are calling for increased consumer spending. In general, boomers are probably guilty on both counts.
I have a suggestion.
Instead of wasting energy hurling insults at financially irresponsible baby boomers, why don't we make a list of all the money mistakes that were made by the boomer generation? The younger folks can read the list and then pledge "never again." I hereby volunteer to start the list of boomer mistakes. Here we go:
Many of today's fixed expenses are for luxuries.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
When I was young, my parents always managed to make ends meet, even though my mother was a stay-at-home mom (she had a part-time job of less than 10 hours a week when I was in school) and my father worked in a factory. Sure, we were able to bring in a little extra money by fishing and we lived very frugally at times, but my parents were able to raise three children on the income of one factory worker.
Flash forward to today. That scenario is basically impossible. Virtually every family I know either has both parents working full time or one of the partners earning a very solid income. The idea that one parent can work a typical factory job while the other parent stays at home is pretty much a thing of the past.
A summer spent serving hot dogs can scar you for life.
Daniel at Casual Kitchen gave up fast-food burgers for life after working for one summer at a Burger King. The experience of making thousands of burgers -- and that was 20 years ago -- ensured that he just couldn't face another one. (He can still eat french fries.)
"Being around this food so much cured me of this 'cuisine' for the rest of my life," he wrote in a post called "Scarred for life by a food industry job."
Dan asked: Do readers have similar experiences to share? That question opened up a mini floodgate. (Our thanks to Kris at Cheap Healthy Good for the link.)
When was the last time you cleaned your coils?
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Your refrigerator/freezer combo is the biggest energy consumer among all of your appliances -- seriously. It gobbles about $100 in energy each year. Even worse, it's often home to lots of wasted food -- leftovers forgotten and allowed to spoil, etc.
To put it simply, your refrigerator and freezer are money sinks. They're expensive in the first place, gobble down energy like there's no tomorrow, and sometimes ruin the food that's inside. What's a thrifty person to do?
Here are a few simple techniques to overcome and reduce these costs with surprisingly little effort.
Blogger has some unique money-saving ideas.
"Frugal Dad" provides 75 tips for cutting back to help your budget withstand the impact of rising gas prices, higher food prices and our other economic ills. We love compilations like this because you can print them out and put them on the fridge.
Frugal Dad covers a lot of ground here, and has some ideas we hadn't considered. He cuts bottled juice with water to make it last twice as long. To save money but salvage his social life, he meets friends after the dinner hour. Eating out, after all, can be a mighty budget buster.
Here are some other samples (click here to read the entire list):
The small 'justifications' can add up.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
While we don't have any credit card debt now, except for 0% APR balance transfers, there was a time when we did. While we never let our credit cards get completely out of control, we did build up several thousand dollars on our credit cards when I first got out of college.
So having gotten into card debt and then climbed out of it, we've learned many of the causes of this financial pain. The fact is, we can talk ourselves into using our credit cards in ways that will hurt our finances down the road.
So here are 10 lies we tell ourselves that get us in credit card debt and keep us there.
Parents face social pressure to pay for photos every year.
Are school pictures one of those things you can't sacrifice, no matter what they cost? What if you simply can't afford them?
Jenn at Frugal Upstate offers three ways to avoid this expensive, annual tradition. (However, she wrote that under the pressure of time, "I caved. … Yes, I have now shelled out a grand total of $75 for school pictures: $29 for each of the kids for one of the smallest packages, then $17 for Buddy's soccer pictures," she added.
One reader of Lafayette, Ind.-based MomsLikeMe.com reported paying $100 total for her two kids. Others lamented that you can't buy photos a la carte anymore, but have to get an entire package.
"It's like cable. You have to pay for all the stuff you don't want or use," wrote "mockingbirdmom." "What a racket."
Maybe your bank will let you opt out of overdraft protection.
We'd venture that overdraft fees are the most hated fees charged by banks, and they charge a lot -- an estimated $36.7 billion last year, USA Today reports.
Bankaholic explains how overdraft fees work:
It doesn't matter whether they're buying a mink coat or a $4 latte at Starbucks. And to help them charge as many overdraft fees as possible, the banks deduct the largest purchases on any given day first to drain accounts as quickly as possible.
Now, facing possible restrictions from Congress and the Federal Reserve, more banks are putting limits on the despised fees, which are often in the neighborhood of $26 to $39.

Radim Vrbata scored two goals and Thomas Greiss made 28 saves to lead the Phoenix Coyotes over the Minnesota Wild 3-1 on Wednesday night.
The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Coyotes, who are 6-0-2 in their past eight games in Minnesota. The Wild have lost two straight and scored a total of one goal in that stretch.
The Wild were playing their first game without leading scorer Zach Parise, who is expected to miss 2 to 3 weeks with a foot injury suffered on Monday in St. Louis.
Minnesota's offense was sluggish for much of the game, especially in the first period when the Wild were outshot 12-5 and fell behind 1-0.

Corporate Spending on Perks 'Egregious'? What about the Feds?
As debate rages across the country about whether it is reasonable to reduce federal spending in light of the fact that the federal government is spending more than eight times what it takes in, the same publications willing to defend that spending often simultaneously criticize spending by businesses that make a profit. One such story ran in publications nationwide this week, including the Chicago Tribune.
In a story blaringly entitled "Eight Outrageous Executive Perks" circulated by Tribune Media Services, author Kathy Kristoff laments the compensation packages offered by varied companies to their founders and/or CEOs.
For example, Qwest CEO Ed Mueller's family was permitted use of the company jet, an expense totaling $281,182 for the year. Occidental Petroleum served as another example; the company's CEO moved from Texas to California to do his job. Texas has no state income tax; California had a 9% state income tax at the time. Occidental agreed to pay the tax for him.
"But the problem," according to the article, "with paying taxes for someone is that even the tax payment is taxable. There's also tax on the tax on the tax, which multiplies the actual amount that must be paid, making this one of the most egregious corporate perks in America."
Egregious? What about the $174,000 earned by members of Congress? What about wasteful perks of the presidency?
It is problematic that the media is so busy looking for spending it deems wasteful in the private sector that it is often unable to investigate real public officials.
The article also passes judgment on companies' boards of directors: "Indeed, while some perks are merely outrageous because they're given to executives who earn vast fortunes and are well able to pay the tab themselves, others have proved to be a sign of executive larceny and lax oversight by a company's board of directors."
Are company stakeholders really asleep at the wheel, unable to discern the consequences of corporate decisions? Or could there be a rationale behind the economics at work?
Stephen Bainbridge, writing in a 2009 article on behalf of the Cato Institute, explores some of the mathematical reasoning behind executive perks.
According to Bainbridge, economists "Xavier Gabaix and Augustin Landier [found] that 'the six-fold increase of CEO pay between 1980 and 2003 can be fully attributed to the six-fold increase in market capitalization of large U.S. companies.' In other words, CEOs got richer because their shareholders got richer."
The article references another study of the matter cited in The Economist in 2004.
In a recent paper, Raghuram Rajan, the IMF's chief economist, and Julie Wulf, of the Wharton School, looked at how more than 300 big companies dished out perks to their executives in 1986-99. It turns out that neither cash-rich, low-growth firms nor firms with weak governance shower their executives with unusually generous perks. The authors did, however, find evidence to support two competing explanations.
First, firms in the sample with more hierarchical organisations lavished more perks on their executives than firms with flatter structures. Why? Perks are a cheap way to demonstrate status. Just as the armed forces ration medals, firms ration the distribution of conspicuous symbols of corporate status.
Second, perks are a cheap way to boost executive productivity. Firms based in places where it takes a long time to commute are more likely to give the boss a chauffeured limousine. Firms located far from large airports are likelier to lay on a corporate jet.
More simply summarized, perks are a cheap way for successful firms able to attract the highest quality personnel.
Bainbridge points out that the reasonable conclusion of any complaint about corporate compensation -- federal regulation -- will be to end innovation by state governments. "Uniformity imposed by federal law will preclude experimentation with differing modes of regulation. As such, there will be no opportunity for new and better regulatory ideas to be developed — no 'laboratory' of federalism."
The federal government's insolvency is in many ways directly linked to its efforts to micromanage the states. That should be the story of our time, but it is absent from our media.

It's the ongoing campaign to demonize wealth . . .
Submitted by Galvanic on Thu, 04/07/2011 - 8:31am.
. . . The Left doesn't want to be held accountable for our wasteful Federal spending, so they point fingers at the wealth and accusing them of not contributing their "fair share. By focusing on perks, they pander to low-income voters by suggesting that the money that the idle rich spend on opulence could really be spent on the poor."
But the Left will not advocate a genuinely fair solution: The Flat Tax. Let's take a nominal rate of 18% across the board, with a standard $40,000 deduction. No deductions for mortgage interest, depreciation of rental property and business equipment, college tuition, etc. -- it's covered by the $40K deduction.
Income = less than $40,000, you pay nothing
Income = $45,000, you pay 18% on $5000

You fill out your tax return on a 5x8 card and mail it in. The IRS is reduced to a few hundred people. The lobby industry virtually disappears.
But Democrats and Republicans will never go for it because the existing tax code is the source of their power to reward friends, punish enemies, and raise money to keep their own pitiful careers alive.

The UFC 160: Velasquez vs. Bigfoot 2 main card opens with a WEC vs. Strikeforce showdown. Former WEC top contender Donald Cerrone (20-5 MMA; 6-2 UFC) takes on former Strikeforce contender K.J. Noons (11-6 MMA; UFC Debut). This Lightweight fight is the first of five main card bouts. The UFC rankings have Cerrone as the #6 Lightweight contender, while Noons is unranked. UFC 160 is live on PPV this Saturday May 25, with the main card beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. PT.
For fans of the stand-up game, this provides an interesting stylistic battle. Chances are good this will be contested primarily on the feet where it will be Cerrone's Muay Thai vs. Noons's boxing. Both men have a lot of skill in their respective fields, and both have had success in MMA using their strikes. The question now is who can better implement his game against another talented striker?
How do these two stack up?
Cerrone: 30 years old | 6'0" | 73" reach
Noons: 30 years old | 5'11" | 70" reach
What have these two done recently?
Cerrone: L - Anthony Pettis (KO) | W - Melvin Guillard (KO) | W - Jeremy Stephens (UD)
Noons: L - Ryan Couture (SD) | L - Josh Thomson (UD) | W - Billy Evangelista (UD)
How did these two get here?
"Cowboy" Donald Cerrone is a longtime Greg Jackson student who made his name in the WEC. He had great success transitioning to the UFC, winning 4 straight when he entered the Octagon. Since a 2011 loss to Nate Diaz, he's had a bit more trouble and is 2-2 in his last 4 and is coming off the big loss to Pettis. Cerrone is a very talented, exciting fighter, but it seems like he may be settling into his role as one of the Lightweight gatekeepers, and that's definitely the part he is playing here.
More on UFC 160: Velasquez vs. Bigfoot 2
K.J. Noons is a former pro boxer who really made his name in EliteXC. There, he was the Lightweight champion, defeating Nick Diaz back in 2007 (Noons was the only man to defeat Diaz between his UFC runs). Unfortunately for Noons, he missed a tremendous amount of time after that win, fighting only once in a two and a half year stretch. He came back in 2010, fighting primarily for Strikeforce. There, he was a contender, but was unable to replicate his earlier success. He's just 1-4 in his last 5, though those losses do come against a tough level of opponent. He badly needs a win here if he wants to keep his new UFC career alive.
Why should you care?
Striking enthusiasts rejoice - this should be a good one!

Part of the excitement around every hoops season is the addition of new players. However, this year there's increased anticipation since the new players were lured in by Chambers. Instead of trying to fit square pegs into round holes, the staff can now work with the guys who they targeted specifically for their system. The first couple recruiting classes of every new era generally make or break a coach's tenure at the school, so these three players will be huge factors in the staff's attempt to turn this program around.
Akosa Maduegbunam - Boston, MA - 6'3" 200 LB Guard
Akosa committed just four weeks after Chambers took the job all the way back in June 2011. He was born and raised in Boston, where he played at Charlestown High School for two years. He spent his senior season in the highly-competitive NEPSAC league in the Northeast at Winchendon Prep where he averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Maduegbunam adds great athleticism to the backcourt (35-inch vertical), but also has the potential to develop as a shooter. The nearly 20-year-old freshman has matured physically and has the look of a Big Ten guard. With the transfers of Matt Glover and Trey Lewis, there is ample playing time available off the bench, especially in Chambers three guard sets. Expect to see plenty of Maduegbunam throughout the season, especially if he finds consistency from behind the arc (tough task for any freshman).
Brandon Taylor - Tabernacle, NJ - 6'7" 235 LB Forward
Brandon Taylor was one of Chambers' biggest targets for this class last summer. Taylor had a very strong AAU campaign on the circuit with Team Philly. He chose PSU over Miami FL, Minnesota, Temple, among other offers. The versatile four man had a successful high school career at Trenton Catholic Academy where he won a state title as a sophomore.
Taylor just recently turned 18 last month, but he also has the look of a Big Ten baller. He has already shed nearly 30 pounds since he arrived on campus over the summer. Look for Taylor to be a threat from both on the block, but also out on the perimeter. He's the fit at the four position that Chambers wants for his four-out one-in motion offense. He seems to be of the same mold as former Penn State player Travis Parker, but with a better build and more bounce.
Donovon Jack - Reading, PA - 6'9" 205 LB Forward
Donovon signed with Chambers and Penn State in the spring after he got his release from Duquesne after Ron Everhart was fired. Jack, like Maduegbunam, was a target for Chambers when he was at Boston U, and he continued to recruit him at PSU. After Taylor verballed, PSU was out of scholarships, so Jack moved on and decided on the Dukes. It all worked out in the end though once he got his release from his LOI in March.
Jack also brings great athleticism to the frontcourt, as many have lauded his ability to run the floor and finish in transition. Like Taylor, the lefty also has the ability face up out on the perimeter. His strength is a concern as he weighs in at 205 pounds which is meager on the low blocks in the rugged Big Ten. But if he can adjust physically and hold his own in the paint on defense, Jack also will see plenty of action in his freshmen season.
Neither of these three guys are top-100 guys, nor did they have particularly extensive offer sheets, but they all bring unique skill sets and high major athleticism. They all will have their opportunity to make an impact off the bench for this upcoming season. PSU doesn't have the luxury of redshirting any of them with so few options on the pine. It should fun watching them progress under Chambers' tutelage.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Training camp for the New England Patriots starts under the cloud of Aaron Hernandez's arrest on a murder charge.
His absence and the departure of their two leading receivers are the biggest on-field challenges facing coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.
The Patriots lost the AFC championship game to the Baltimore Ravens last season, 28-13. Then they lost five of their top seven pass catchers from 2012.
So instead of a quarterback and his receivers having an automatic connection, Brady and his bunch have traveled step by small step through OTAs and minicamp going into training camp starting Thursday.
"You learn the most about players when it's the hardest and training camp is a good time to develop some of that chemistry and mental toughness as a team," Brady said during last month's three-day minicamp.
Five things to look for at Patriots training camp:
1. DISTRACTIONS? WHAT DISTRACTIONS? If there's one team that can keep the arrest of a star player on a murder charge from being a distraction, it's the Patriots. They cut tight end Hernandez the day he was arrested — and before he was charged — and moved on. They allowed quarterback Tim Tebow to address reporters for just 40 seconds the day he signed last month but permitted no questions. When starting cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was arrested on a drunken driving charge, the club issued a brief statement saying it was "extremely disappointed" and working to gather more information. Belichick often says he talks only about players currently on the team. He explains personnel and strategy decisions by saying he does what he thinks will help his team win. His focus is on the goal line, not headlines.
2. WHERE'S THE CATCH? No one caught more passes in the NFL over the last six seasons than Wes Welker. Now he's with the Denver Broncos. The Patriots may start the season without their seven leading receivers from last year. Five are gone, including Welker, who had 118 receptions, and Brandon Lloyd, who wasn't re-signed after finishing second on the team with 74. Two others, tight end Rob Gronkowski and wide receiver Julian Edelman, may not be recovered from surgery and injuries in time for the opener. If Gronkowski is healthy most of the season, the Patriots should be solid at tight end with Jake Ballard as a capable backup. At wide receiver, Danny Amendola is one starter, although he missed 20 games with the St. Louis Rams the past two seasons with injuries. The Patriots added other wide receivers — free agents Michael Jenkins and Lavelle Hawkins and draftees Aaron Dobson and Josh Boyce.

PEORIA, Ill -- The Catholic Church has a new leader. The cardinals have elected Pope Francis the First.
From the Vatican City...to here in Peoria...there were signals, sounds and celebrations of a new pope.
Argentinean Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis I greeted the world Wednesday.
Peoria Catholic Diocese Bishop Daniel Jenky said it's another step in the long history of the Catholic Church, "The whole church has been praying that the Holy Spirit would guide the Cardinals. For somebody like me, it is a moment where God has spoken through those Cardinals."
At Peoria's Notre Dame Catholic High School Father Adam Stimpson says he came in on his day off just to share in the excitement with his students.
"It's kinda the first real time they're able to have a greater conscious awareness and experience and share that excitement with Catholics around the world," said Stimpson.
Francis the First, a fitting name, since he is the first Latin American Pope and first Jesuit to serve.
Bishop Jenky said the exact Saint Francis he chose to be named after has yet to be revealed, "There are many Francis' who are Saints. Francis of Assisi is well known. However, there is a famous Jesuit Saint, Saint Francis Xavier, a great missionary."
He is a man described as humble and a champion of the poor.
Now the world will watch as he leads Catholics into a new chapter.
"I hope he leads us into greater lives of holiness, greater service to our neighbor, everything Christianity is all about, that he inspires us to serve the Lord with greater zeal," said Bishop Jenky.
Even if you aren't Catholic, Catholic leaders hope this can be a bright spot in a world full of war, hatred and poverty.
Father Stimpson said, "I would extend that invitation to people that are not Catholic to pray for us and for the Pope. It might be a time of greater unity and peace in the world."

Old Boys target invincibility
1:00pm Friday 24th January 2014 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Out of 123 teams in the 10 London rugby divisions, only three can still boast a 100 per cent record.
Unsurprisingly Harrow and Gosport & Fareham top their respective tables, but the other, New Malden-based KCS Old Boys, remain second in London Division Three South West.
And even if the Old Boys beat leaders Farnham on the road this weekend, they may still not hit the summit due to the host's far superior bonus points.
Old Boys have struggled of late to rack up the big scores, bagging only 50 points in the past three games, while Farnham have scored 149.
But for skipper Patrick Smith, finishing top is not the ultimate aim because his side's 21-point advantage over third-placed Ellingham & Ringwood should ensure automatic promotion as runner up.
"We're in an odd scenario, being unbeaten but not top of the table, but it is OK with us," Smith said.
"We really want to beat Farnham, but not with the hope of going top, more because we want to complete the season unbeaten. That is the bigger challenge.
"We were relegated last season with the highest points of anyone in the country, which was very frustrating, so in reality we can only be pleased with how things have gone this time round."
The 31-year-old presided over that relegation in his first year as skipper, although he rarely played due to a shoulder injury.
Smith has missed just two of their 14 outings this term, so has seen the turnaround first hand.
"We brought in a few new faces, and a lot of guys are back from university and able to commit to the club more than before," he said.
"We have a core of 23 to 24-year-olds who all went
to school together, which makes for a great club atmosphere.
"It's not bad considering the competition we have in the area – within five or six miles there are about 20 rugby clubs they could join."
Smith is quick to point out success this season is down to the team, but singled out full back Gareth Stoppani, right, and front row Jonny Kiddle as key.
"Stoppani has only played six games because of injury, but has scored nine tries," he added.
"Our front row has been immense and luckily we have six props, but Kiddle has been the man."

Despite the worldwide catastrophe purportedly forecast by the Mayan calendar, it's looking more and more like the world will survive Friday, Dec. 21.
Still, couples came to Las Vegas to live like Thursday was their last day on earth with end-of-the-world celebrations.
Local business Vegas Weddings is performing more ceremonies. Others are using the Mayan calendar as an excuse to get out and party.
Max Gonzalez and Yazmin Realpe-Gonzalez don't believe the world will end on Friday, but said that if it does, they're glad they took the plunge on Thursday.
"(It was the) perfect day to get married anyway. How do you know what's going on tomorrow? I try to live day by day," Max Gonzalez said.
The people who run Vegas Weddings said they have dozens of bookings for Thursday and Friday.
"We are very busy for a Friday, and I do think it has a lot to do with the date," said Shelly Powers with Vegas Weddings. "I think these people really think that it's going to be the end of the world."
While some ran to chapels before the apocalypse, others headed to the nearest watering hole.
At the Commonwealth bar on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, there will be an end-of-the-world party on Friday, complete with a countdown at midnight on the roof patio.
"We are creating a net canopy that will hold 2,500 LED balloons. At 12 o'clock we are going to release them into the air," said the Commonwealth's Jerry Lemon.
The party will likely turn into a world-didn't-end bash.
"I think at 12 o'clock the time will become 12:01 and we'll all still be here," Lemon said.
While many believe in the doomsday prediction, NASA has said the rumor is nonsense and released several videos debunking the theory.

Japan has always been an innovative country, but here's a new product that may surprise you. On Japanese shelves today: the world's first wine for cats. No, not a joke, the "Nyan Nyan Nouveau" bottles are intended exclusively for feline consumption. In Japanese, "nyan nyan" is equivalent to "meow meow."
The pet supplement company B & H Lifes is introducing the cat wine for those wanting to celebrate special occasions with their best furry friends.
The wine actually contains no alcohol, but it does have juice made from Cabernet grapes, vitamin C and catnip. The combo supposedly tastes like red wine.
So far, no reviews from the notoriously finicky creatures as to whether a nice mouse Merlot might be preferable.
