For The Herald Bulletin
There comes a point in life where you start to realize you're not a kid anymore.
For some people, it's getting their first real job, earning that first paycheck. But that wasn't the case for me. My first real job was covering sports, which never felt like a job at all. It was merely an extension of something that had always been part of my life.
For other people, marriage brings, along with a hoarde of blenders and toasters, the realization that adulthood has begun. Again, that didn't happen for me. My husband and I married in the magical land of Florida, where we spent our first six years together enjoying beaches and theme parks on an extended vacation. And we're both a bit goofy and geeky, attributes that keep us young.
Home ownership occasionally acquaints some with the harsh realities of adulthood. I would say this came close to dissolving my delusions about life. Signing all those papers with a lot of big numbers that will haunt us for the next 30 years was sobering. But it still wasn't enough to make me feel like a real grown-up.
For those who make it through these trials, the arrival of a baby can be the event that causes many to shake off those final vestiges of youth and emerge as a full-realized adult. But God hasn't seen fit to bless me with any children other than the furry, four-legged kind. So that rite of passage has been denied to me as of yet.
But I began to feel a sense of finality creeping in this summer.
It started when I wasn't in the theater for a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises."
It grew stronger when I didn't make it to see "Dark Knight Rises" in the theater at all.
It really gained ground when a work-associated 11 p.m. bedtime meant cutting back on the television shows I could fit into an evening.
And it nearly knocked me off my feet when the realities of bills and car payments and a house payment and vet bills left me deciding between buying medicine for my cold or seeing Daniel Craig again as James Bond in "Skyfall." (Thankfully, my 007-loving mother-in-law made sure I didn't have to choose.)
As of today, consider me down for the count. My trusty Volkswagen Beetle became not so trusty this week. We're looking at a massive repair bill, which may be more than the car is worth. That likely means no movies, no comics and no DVD rentals for some time.
And I'm OK with that. I don't need to see "The Hobbit" or "So This is 40." I can put grown-up responsibilities first. There was a time where that wouldn't have been imaginable.
Not that I'm going to let this new sense of adulthood change who I am.
Being in the know when it comes to films and TV is just me. And you can be darn sure I'll be first in line for "Iron Man 3" and "The Avengers 2."
I said I'd grown up, not gone crazy.

Planningtorock | 27/08/14
Jam Rostron, Bolton-born, Berlin-based is welcomed to the Domino Publishing family. The artist behind the multimedia recording and performance project Planningtorock, her 2014 LP 'All Love's Legal' is both an extension of her previous work and a refinement and of its ideas and sonics. Planningtorock has always incorporated politics into her music, but this is by far her most explicitly political record yet. It follows 'W', which was released on DFA in 2011, and her 2006 debut album...
Ty Segall | 27/08/14
Ty Segall returns with another belter after the release of 'Sleeper' (Drag City 2014) which saw Ty have a dramatic change of pace to great effect. 'Manipulator' see's the guitars turned right back up for another fantastically raucous record.
'The Butterfly Ate The Pearl' (Grass Girl Music 2013) is the fourth long player by English singer-songwriter and composer Andria Degens, better known by her stage and recording name Pantaleimon.
The follow up to 2008's remix and collaboration collection 'Heart Of the Sun', it features nine new original tracks including the download video singles 'If I (Was)' and 'Another World'. Written and recorded during 2011/12 in her home studio, and co-produced with Hugo Race, 'The Butterfly Ate The Pearl' is a more psychedelic offering and a real progression of sound and without doubt her most accomplished release to date. Degens not...

Cards' outlook for Faneca, Sendlein hardly grim
Arizona's offensive line has changed a great deal, but O-line coach Russ Grimm is up for the challenge, especially with new OLG Alan Faneca and old C Lyle Sendlein in the mix.
Top 20 key players in NFC West
Dan Arkush identifies the top five players on each NFC West team who figure to play crucial roles, including Rams rookie QB Sam Bradford.
NFC West training-camp reports
In the final installment of our training-camp reports, we look at NFC West teams, including the Seahawks, who'll use Aaron Curry as a stand-up end.
Coryell's quarterbacks
The late Don Coryell managed to quickly turn a pair of quarterbacks who'd been struggling like hell into All-Pros aerialists — Jim Hart in St. Louis, Dan Fouts in San Diego.
Cardinals' new WR trio packs fantasy punch
You will be committing a cardinal sin if you don't at least consider Larry Fitzgerald, Early Doucet and Steve Breaston as legitimate fantasy options.
Willis tops among NFC West IDPs
While the NFC West arguably remains the league's weakest division, it is strong in terms of individual fantasy defenders, led by IDP superheavyweight Patrick Willis.
Cardinals sign rookie CB Calvin
The Cardinals have announced the signing of sixth-round CB Jorrick Calvin to a four-year contract. Terms were not disclosed for the second member of Arizona's draft class to agree to contract terms.
Cardinals sign rookie TE Dray
The Cardinals got the ball rolling on the rookie contract front Thursday with the signing of seventh-round TE Jim Dray to a four-year contract.
Hightower could be Cardinals' third-down back
Even though he's listed first on the depth chart as the starting RB ahead of Chris "Beanie" Wells, we hear Tim Hightower could be the top candidate for the Cardinals' third-down-RB role.
Passing guru Coryell dead at 85
Former Chargers and Cardinals head coach Don Coryell died at 3:15 p.m. PDT Thursday at the age of 85 at Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa, just outside San Diego. The cause of death wasn't disclosed, but ...

Cardinals embracing change on offense
With new starting QB Matt Leinart and free-agent pickup OG Alan Faneca, the Cardinals' offense is heading into a transitional year.
Crowd gathering at cornerback for Cardinals
It would appear the Cardinals are in no great rush to anoint a starting right cornerback opposite Pro Bowler Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for the coming season.
Cardinals make changes to scouting department
Kyle Johnson has joined the Cardinals as a college scout, and several other changes in the personnel department were announced by the team Monday.
Schedule must be weighed in predicting outcomes
Don't tell me the schedule doesn't matter in the NFL. Here's a look at teams that will benefit the most and be hindered the most by whom they play this season.
Hoyer has signed his tender offer from the Cards.||||||| Hoyer spent last season with the Steelers and Cards.
The Arizona Cardinals will give Hoyer his first NFL start, less than three weeks after the team claimed him off waivers from Pittsburgh. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said Wednesday that the former Michigan State quarterback will start for the Cardinals in their season finale Sunday at San Francisco.||||||| Hoyer, who spent three seasons as a backup in New England and was out of a job for most of this season, will be the fourth starter at quarterback for the Cardinals this year, operating an offense that ranks last in the NFL.
With Ryan Lindley bench in the third quarter, Hoyer got some action against the Bears on Sunday. He completed 11-of-19 passes for 105 yards with an interception.||||||| While it seems Hoyer has passed Lindley on the depth chart, he isn't considered a fantasy option for the offensively-challenged Cardinals at this time.
Arizona has claimed Hoyer off waivers from the Pittsburgh Steelers||||||| Hoyer was with the Steelers for three weeks while Ben Roethlisberger was injured. After a standout career at Michigan State, Hoyer spent his first three NFL seasons with New England before being released by the Patriots on Aug. 31.
The New England Patriots on Friday signed Hoyer, and officially announced the addition of receiver Donte' Stallworth. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.||||||| Hoyer, 26, has been the backup for three seasons to Tom Brady. He has played in 13 games, throwing for 286 yards and a touchdown.

North Fayette Valley came to Ed Thomas Field unbeaten and simply dominating the competition Friday night. The Tiger Hawks have outscored their first four opponents 153-6, and they haven't given up a single touchdown this season.
The Falcons bounced back from a rare two-game losing streak with an impressive 65-30 win at West Fork. The Falcons came out Friday night without two of their starters: running back Brady Frey and quarterback Cody Ryan both have casts on their arms.
The Tiger Hawks would take advantage. Quarterback Trevor Hurd would hand off to Josh Mackey for a 3-yard touchdown run. North Fayette Valley would go up 7-0 early in the first quarter.
Later in the first quarter, running back Ben Martin would sweep left and dive for the end zone. With the extra point, the Tiger Hawks went up 14 to nothing.
In the second quarter, Hurd would throw a 50-yard bomb to Phil Kleve, who would do the rest and take it to the house. The Tiger Hawks would miss the extra, but still go up by 20.
Later in the second, Hurd would hand off for a 1-yard touchdown run. The Tiger Hawks would go for two and get it. In the middle of the second quarter, North Fayette would go up 28 to nothing.
It would not get any better for the Falcons, as the Tiger Hawks would dominate the second half of the game as well. The final score of the game, North Fayette Valley 56, Aplington-Parkersburg 14.

Men's Cross Country Team Places 3rd at Saint Leo Invitational
FORT MYERS, Fla – The Florida Gulf Coast University men's cross country team opened its 2005 season with a third place finish at the Saint Leo Invitational 5-K at Little Everglades Ranch in Dade City on Friday night.
The Eagles finish was the best team finish ever by FGCU. Perennial powers Tampa and Florida Southern finished first and second. Host Saint Leo was fourth, followed by Rollins. David Forry of Tampa took home individual honors in the event with an overall time of 16:53, six second ahead of teammate Matt Clements.
Sophomore Mike Harney had an impressive debut in an Eagles uniform. The junior college transfer posted the second-fastest 5K time in school history to place third individually in 17:08. The third place finish is the highest individual finish ever by an FGCU runner. The FGCU 5-K record of 16:59 was set in 2003 by Edison Vasquez.
Harney was one of four Eagles to place in the top-20. Junior Scott Poindexter was 15th (17:42), junior Ismael Galicia was 18th (17:56) and freshman Grant Berkery finished 19th (18:13). Sophomore Bryan Spiewak completed the Eagles scoring with a 25th place finish (19:16).
Also for the Eagles, freshman Sean Combs placed 27th (19:36), freshman Chris Boehme was 31st (19:47), sophomore Ron Gilles was 32nd (20:15) and freshman Adam Ulrich finished 33rd (20:40).
FGCU will compete next weekend in the Florida Tech Invitational at Wickham Park in Melbourne, Fla.

11 Facts That Will Change The Way You See Dolphins
There are PINK dolphins!
These guys are known as the Amazon river dolphins, and guess what?
They live NOT just in the Amazon, but also in the Orinoco and Araguaia/Tocantins river systems.
They're notable and easily recognizable because theirskin has a pinkish hue. However, there are other cool things about this animal:
- It's the largest cetacean to spend most of it's life in freshwater.
- They have unfused neck vertebrae, which means they can turn their heads 180 degrees!
There are officially two recognized species of Amazon river dolphins. They're part of the folklore of the people who live around them.
Local folklore speaks of 'encantados,' shapeshifters who look like dolphins by day, but spend their nights seducing people and having illegitimate children with humans.
Deforestation and other human made natural disasters are endangering the pink dolphin, so it's important for everyone to be aware that we're endangering the life of such an awesome creature.

A new £1.6 million centre, which will harness the potential of natural resources from the depths of the world's oceans to treat diseases such as cancer, will officially open its doors today (Tuesday June 15).
The University of Aberdeen Marine Biodiscovery Centre is focusing on research into the development of new medicines from unique marine organisms.
It is one of only three in Europe dedicated to the exploration of the natural resources from our seas, and one of very few in the world to bring together chemists and biologists to work together on the development of new pharmaceuticals.
World leading minds in the area of biomedicine and biotechnology will convene at the University today for a two day symposium, to officially launch the centre.
Funded by the University's College of Physical Sciences and Development Trust, the centre houses globally unique technology, facilities and state-of-the-art equipment which is part funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
Facilities include a library containing hundreds of pure compounds and thousands of extracts from organisms sourced from across the globe - including the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world's oceans located in the western Pacific Ocean.
The library – which has received financial support from the Scottish Universities Life Science Alliance – is available for use in biological research and drug discovery by the academic community and industry.
The equipment which will be used to analyse compounds from marine and other sources includes a magnet, 250,000 times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field which will be used to interrogate the chemical structure of molecules, and a system which can identify how metals occur in living organisms and in the environment.
Examples of research being conducted at the centre - which is located in the Meston Building on the University's King's College campus and has a dedicated staff of 7 - include:
Professor Ian Diamond, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Aberdeen, said:"The new Marine Biodiscovery Centre positions the University of Aberdeen at the international forefront of research into the discovery of new medicines, using the vast and unique natural resources found in the world's oceans.
"One of the first interdisciplinary centres of its kind in the world, it draws together the University's research strengths in chemistry and biological and medical sciences.
"The globally unique technologies and equipment housed in the Marine Biodiscovery Centre will allow our scientists to expand their capabilities in addressing the challenges of developing new products which could advance the treatment of diseases such as cancer.
"The library facility will also open the door for industry to use the centre to advance their research and development."
Professor Marcel Jaspars, Director of the Marine Biodiscovery Centre said: "The greatest diversity of life on our planet can be found in the world's seas in the form of marine organisms which live in a huge variety of habitats."
"Scientists at the University of Aberdeen have been conducting research exploring how the rich and diverse range of unique compounds which exist in these organisms can be used in the development of drugs and other novel biomedical products, for a number of years.
"The creation of the new Marine Biodiscovery Centre is allowing us to advance our research using state-of-the-art technologies, and work towards important new breakthroughs in this crucial area of medical discovery."
Nearly one hundred academics and representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, from countries including the USA, Norway and Spain, will meet at the University for the Marine Biodiscovery Research and Applications symposium.
The two day event will include keynote speeches by world leading experts in the field of biodiscovery, including Professor Dan Morse from the University of California, who has conducted groundbreaking work into how shells are made and how sponges make glass, and Simon Munt from PharmaMar, a pharmaceutical company responsible for bringing a novel marine derived compound into clinical treatment for cancer.
The symposium is sponsored by the Royal Society of Chemistry, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Biosciences Knowledge Transfer Network, Thermo Scientific, Varian Inc, Syngenta, Aquapharm Biodiscovery and Glycomar.

Biodiscovery is the discovery of compounds from natural sources to treat disease. It also encompasses the use of ideas inspired by nature to develop novel biomedicines.
Biodiscovery generates novel chemistry that may be used to find initial biological activity in tests for cancer, inflammation and infection amongst others.
The broad concept of biodiscovery also includes the use of these compounds and ideas as biomedical research tools, antifoulants, catalysts, nutritional supplements (nutraceuticals) and personal care products (cosmeceuticals).
The marine environment provides a broad range of diverse habitats from which novel sources of natural products can be derived. Studies from around the world have shown that marine organisms produce a diverse array of metabolites with novel chemical structures and potent biological activities as well as other desirable properties.

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. – July 9, 2013 – St. Joseph's College (SJC) Professor of Political Science Stephen J. Rockwell, Ph.D., will host a discussion on the provocative and illuminating documentary, Dirty Wars on Thursday, August 1 at 7:30 p.m. The discussion and screening will take place at the Plaza Cinema & Media Arts Center (MAC) located in downtown Patchogue, as part of its ongoing Film Discussion Series.
Dirty Wars is a documentary about the alleged corruption, secrets and lies surrounding global conflicts. After the film, Dr. Rockwell will facilitate a Q&A and discussion where students and general audience members will share their thoughts about this compelling and controversial film based on Jeremy Scahill's best-selling book, Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield.
"Jeremy Scahill is one of our most provocative investigative authors," said Dr. Rockwell. "His work examines cutting-edge issues, such as taxpayer-funded mercenary armies and the expanding use of drones and targeted killing. The screening of Dirty Wars will be an excellent opportunity to foster public discussion about these and other controversial issues."
The Film Discussion Series at Plaza MAC has included discussions by several other prominent SJC faculty members, including the Academy Award winner, Searching for Sugar Man, Terrence Malick's To the Wonder, the Academy Award nominee, 5 Broken Cameras, The Shining, Room 237, Frances Ha and the 2013 Academy Award winner, Amour.
Tickets for Dirty Wars and the film discussion are $10 for the general public and $7 for students with a valid ID. For more information, visit www.plazamac.org. Additional screenings will take place on July 26, 27, 29 and 30 at 7:30 p.m., or 2:30 p.m. matinee on July 27 only.
The Plaza Cinema and Media Arts Center is a non-profit public charity organization dedicated to bringing the magic and power of movies and filmmaking to the hearts and minds of the community. On a weekly basis, the Plaza provides the Patchogue community with current, quality independent films from around the world while offering special films for children and cultural programming such as broadcasts of operas and ballet from the world stage. Starting in 2013, the Plaza will be offering classes in screenwriting, editing and film production.

I was worried about trying these cookies after reading the review, but these turned out great for me! I was careful in adding the flour, but did add it all and had no trouble rolling them out. The filling was great too! I used 8oz of dates and had plenty for the cookies. Yummy!!
Either the recipe is incomplete or something is wrong. I wasted a batch of I dont know what. The " dough" didn't turn into a dough. It was just a dry crumbly mixture. I had to throw it away.

Bob Vila Highlights Innovative Technology in Televised Habitat Build
November 16, 1998 - With the help of family, friends and volunteers from across the country, Michelle Hayes and her four daughters have built their new home – from start to finish – in one week. And television viewers throughout the country will be able to see how they did it.
During the week-long Habitat build, home building champion and CBS correspondent Bob Vila provided live reports for the CBS News program, This Morning. The build will be featured in its entirety next season as the first 13 shows of Bob Vila's Home Again's 10th anniversary season, scheduled to air next fall. Joining the volunteers and the Hayes family were representatives from major sponsors, including Premier Building Systems, Fife, Wash.; APA - The Engineered Wood Association, Tacoma, Wash.; and the Washington, D.C.-based public/private Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH).
The design and construction of the 1,200-square-foot, two-story Habitat house is a showcase of innovative technology and affordable home-building trneds. Florida architect Ed Binkley of the Evans Group submitted the winning plans in a national design competition hosted by residential architect, a Hanley-Wood Inc., publication.
The Hayes home wil be one of the first PATH demonstration projects built since the public/private partnership was announced last spring by President Clinton. PATH seeks to develop and promote the widespread use of new technologies to make homes stronger, safer, more durable, more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The PATH partnership joins key federal housing agencies and various industry representatives in a productive, house-building relationship.
From the prefabricated, energy-efficient panels and engineered wood framing to the solar energy shingle systems and high-performance glazing, the Habitat house will serve as a model for future building trends.
"By using these proven technologies, our Habitat family is receiving a high-quality, energy-efficient home and viewers will see the future of new home construction," said Jim Killoran, president of Westchester County Habitat for Humanity. "We are extremely grateful to the various partners for shining a national spotlight on Habitat for Humanity and on our mission to lend a helping hand to those in need of shelter."

The last few Thanksgiving dinners I've been invited to—from suburban cousins' free-for-alls to butlered Park Avenue sit-downs—all have one thing in common: potluck. The era of one person slaving away, soup to pie, is officially over. In our harried, wired modern lives, the only thing a holiday host is absolutely required to cook (or, at the very least, procure) is the turkey itself, which generally leaves guests in charge of sides and dessert. How perfect—the parts of the meal I love most. I like presenting them on handsome platters that can go right on the table and then be left behind—a simple, elegant way to give thanks to the poor soul who roasted that giant bird. Note to hosts: You might want to forward these pages to your invitees.
clementine sauce
Serves 8 to 10
- 2 clementines
- 2 packages (12 oz. each)
- fresh cranberries
- 2 cups sugar
Cut clementines in half and, leaving on the skin,
slice as thinly as possible. Place in a saucepan
with the cranberries, sugar and 1 ½ cups water.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer
and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let
cool before serving.

Interest rates on federally susidized Stafford students doubled overnight from 3.4 percent to 6.8. The increase resulted from the Congress inability to reach a deal.
The tax increase is said to costs students an average of $2,600, an unpleasing figure to any student.
"They say, go to college, go to college, go to college but increasing the loan rate makes it more difficult for us to want to go to college," said Albany State University senior Brandon Ware. "It's almost like a set-up. Why build up years and years of debt?"
Democrats say the Senate would considering voting on July 10 for a one-year extension of the 3.4 percent rate.

When reading Transact-SQL documentation, I usually skip the Backus–Naur Form (BNF) at the top of the documentation and go directly to the samples. So, to add on to Cihan Biyikoglu blog post about the new SQL Azure database sizes available June 28, 2010, I want to show some samples of new CREATE DATABASE syntax.
You can still create a database without any parameters; this will generate the smallest database of the web edition:
CREATE DATABASE Test
This is the same as declaring:
CREATE DATABASE Test (EDITION='WEB', MAXSIZE=1GB)
The database created can hold up to 1 Gigabyte of data and then will return a 40544 error when trying to add more data. See Cichan's blog post for more details.
You can also create a web edition database with a larger maximum size of 5 Gigabytes like this:
CREATE DATABASE Test (EDITION='WEB', MAXSIZE=5GB)
Business edition databases will start with a maximum size of 10 Gigabytes:
CREATE DATABASE Test (EDITION='BUSINESS')
However, they can be increased to a 50 Gigabytes using the maximum size parameter:
CREATE DATABASE Test (EDITION='BUSINESS', MAXSIZE=50GB)
The valid MAXSIZE settings for WEB edition are 1 and 5 GB. The valid options for BUSINESS edition are 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 GB.
The good news with the new database sizes is that for some database sizes you are not billed for the maximum size until you use it. See the official pricing guide for more details. The table below tries to highlight this point.
Size In Use
Web Edition
Business Edition
$ 9.99
Most of the time you will know the database size you need before you deploy to SQL Azure, however if you are in a growth scenario you can start out with a web edition database and change it to business edition as it grows. This will save you some money. To change the database edition you can use the ALTER DATABASE Syntax like this:
ALTER DATABASE Test MODIFY (EDITION='BUSINESS', MAXSIZE=50GB)
Do you have questions, concerns, comments? Post them below and we will try to address them.
$500/mo for a 50GB DB... PLUS data transfer fees? Geez... that's way too steep!
John: Ok I will bite, what do you think would be a good rate?
Can we use the following syntax to go from the Business class DB to the Web class?
ALTER DATABASE myDB (EDITION='WEB', MAXSIZE=5GB)
1GB was too small when we signed up, but 10GB is a bit overkill. Are there any hardware differences between the web and business Azure levels?
1) You can use ALTER DATABASE to go between any combination of editions and sizes
2) There are no differences at this time.
Awesome! Thanks for the quick response!
I just tried to increase the size of my database using the Alter statement and got an error message. My database is called TestDb and I used:
ALTER DATABASE TestDb (EDITION='BUSINESS', MAXSIZE=50GB)
The error was
Incorrect syntax near '('.
Any idea what the problem is?
Never mind - I found the answer. The correct command is:
ALTER DATABASE TestDb MODIFY (MAXSIZE=50GB)
My database was already business edition.
Jane: Thanks for pointing out that error in the blog post. I have made a modification in the main text.
I think this is great!
Now we can start using this for our online Portal without worrying about scale up. Im really amazed at how fast SQL Azure is - but is there any benchmark for this?
I mean, is there any limit beyond which i will start facing performance bottlenecks in SQL Azure (think high read scenarios).
Roopesh: I can't think of one product or service in computer science that doesn't have limits. Yes, SQL Azure does have limits.
And going in the other direction, to query the EDITION and MAXSIZE values, use the built-in function DATABASEPROPERTYEX()
For example:
DATABASEPROPERTYEX ( DB_Name() , 'Edition' ) as [Edition],
DATABASEPROPERTYEX ( DB_Name() , 'MaxSizeInBytes') as [MaxSizeInBytes]
In the case of truncating/archiving/removing data to free up space there is a potential delay of up to 15 minutes before the space is available and the database is usable again - msdn.microsoft.com/.../ee336245.aspx
Is the same delay an issue when altering the database to automatically resize from code? If I run the command to resize the database how long will it take to process and make the space and database usable?

Clarksville, IN (WDRB) -- It's a Facebook firestorm that has led some people to say they're boycotting Green Tree Mall. The Marines tell us an incident happened back in December or January, but they call it a misunderstanding that has blown up on Facebook.
Messages being shared all over Facebook allege two uniformed Marines walked into Green Tree Mall and were kicked out by security because guards thought they were trying to recruit. But Facebook posters claim the Marines were only there to have lunch. This started a firestorm of posts by people upset with the mall saying they will boycott it.
Sergeant Daniel Angel, a Marine spokesman says in December or January, a couple of recruiters from the Armed Forces Career Center in Clarksville were talking to potential applicants in the Green Tree Mall food court and were asked by security to leave. He says the mall doesn't allow solicitation.
The next day, he says the head of security at the mall came down to the career center to tell recruiters why they were asked to leave. Sgt. Angel says recruiters are allowed to set up a booth in the mall.
He says it was a misunderstanding that has blown up on Facebook because the original poster tells WDRB News that he posted it after hearing about the incident from someone else. And that posting was shared hundreds of times.
Earlier Green Tree Mall issued this statement: "The Facebook posts are incorrect. Green Tree Mall fully supports all military, active and retired, and welcome them as guests to our property anytime. We are currently working with our local recruiting office on opportunities to recruit for future military personnel."
People say this is a perfect example of how social media can take on a life of its own. It shows how one person's post can be spread hundreds of times, whether it's true or false.

The reasons why most patient access services teams have a low performance rate are largely due to the lack of proper resources, inadequate training and insufficient staffing levels. Fortunately, these can be resolved quickly and without huge expenses.
Perform Daily Audits
Performing daily audits is your most valuable tool in the first phase of improving how well your patient access team performs. In the beginning, it will feel very tedious but this is the only way you can effectively determine what is negatively impacting your revenue cycle.
Before you begin, determine what your organization needs to focus on in terms of accuracy. The field of health care and the size of your organization make a difference in which areas you may emphasis. However, there are several things that should always be included.
- Demographic information
- Insurance information and verification
- Admitting category and source code
- Accident details
- MSP questionnaire
- Documents signed
Don't be afraid to include what you may seem as minor. You may want to include every entry field in your audit.
In addition to auditing account errors, make sure you also track what time of day those errors occurred and what staff members are making which errors. This information can give wonderful insight on what factors are contributing to inaccuracies. Are you understaffed at certain times of the day or certain days of the week? Is your staff handling too many responsibilities? Which duties or job functions may need to be redistributed?
Once you determine where your opportunities to improve are, you can begin to make steps to determine what plan of action to take.
Most employers have the best intentions of providing excellent training to new hires but sometimes the urgency of a fast paced environment can lead to an underdeveloped staff. Although on hands training is the best, managers should also PowerPoint presentations in a classroom setting use competency quizzes periodically to keep information fresh and new.
Training should be a never ending process. In the ever-changing field of healthcare, there is always something that can be presented or reintroduced to your staff. Your policies and procedures should be kept current based on industry changes. It is easier to implement and enforce if it is written in black and white.
Keep your patient access services staff informed by using the information gathered in your audits. Most employees continuously make errors in the same areas only because no one has corrected them. Not only aware them of what they are doing but why accuracy is so important.
So now you have your patient access staff on their road to success. You've given them the tools and the training they need but that's not enough. The final key to building a dynamic team is motivation.
Motivated employees view their jobs seriously and take pride in knowing that they add value to the organization. The patient access team should be aware that what they do really matters. How well they perform every day determines how well the entire revenue cycle performs.
Evaluate your current management style. Are you doing what it takes to get maximum performance from your employees? Having a well-trained staff that is highly motivated equals a dynamite team.

|Bodybuilding a way of life for Stemen
|Friday, January 11, 2013 1:48 PM
Part of the lifestyle is changing what you eat. Stemen says eating right is a choice he has to make to be successful in bodybuilding.
"Sure, it would be nice to have a slice of pizza occasionally but cutting that stuff out is worth the progress," he went on. "Anywhere you go, there's bad food and alcohol but that can't be an excuse to slip. I've cut all of that out and to be honest, I don't miss it."
The mental picture most commonly associated with bodybuilding is that of an Arnold Schwarzenegger-type grimacing as he hefts huge amounts of weight piled on either end of a skinny bar. Stemen says there's more to it than just showing how much you can lift.
"Bodybuilding shows aren't about heavy weight lifting, it's about focusing on a muscle group and developing that. Your goal is to be bigger and more defined than everyone else," he said. "You do a posing routine where you hold flex poses. Every pose has to be a maximum effort to make that muscle group pop the best way. You also need to take the lighting into account and manipulate it to show the judges your absolute best.
"There is a lifting routine, too, but they're very clear about there being no 'ego lifting,' which is where you go in and pick up the heaviest weight you can lift and max out your reps with bad form. You have to stick with weights that you can lift in a controlled way."
Stemen says that bodybuilding itself can feel like a full-time job. Considering he already works a full-time job and coaches wrestling every day, he has his stressful moments.
"It can be stressful, just working so hard at it. Sleep is important but I don't always get the 8 hours I want," he said. "Nothing makes me want to quit but I'd be lying if I said there weren't hard days."
On those hard days, Stemen focuses on the progress he's made to keep himself going.
"My main motivation is just seeing how far I've come and the progression in my body," Stemen said. "I like seeing what boundaries I can push. The challenge in bodybuilding is against yourself, at the end of the day the only person you're battling is you. It's changed me a lot. Many other things get put on the back burner. To get where I want to be I have to be that guy, the guy that doesn't put things off until tomorrow, who doesn't cheat."
A lot of Stemen's drive stems from having spent time overseas in the Army Reserves. After being injured and then returning home, he experienced feelings of purposelessness, something many veterans face after service.
"I needed a change in my life. For a while I was just partying and drinking a lot," Stemen said. "Having gained weight and having been unhappy, just eating what I wanted and doing what I wanted to make myself feel better, it felt really amazing when I was able to turn that around. I needed to focus on making myself happy and then weeding out those in my life who didn't support me."
He has a lot of support now.
"My parents are very supportive. I think my dad thought I was an idiot at first, with the bodybuilding, but then he saw the progress I was making with it," he continued. "My girlfriend Alana is also really supportive. I have to thank her because she cooks my meals and apportions everything out and then does the dishes afterward."
Stemen says he hopes to continue his present course and encourages others to set goals of their own.
"I want to get my pro card. Long-term, my goal is to continue setting small goals and reaching them," he said. "I'd like to inspire others, not necessarily to get into bodybuilding but to try something new. I'm no expert, I've just barely cracked the edge but one thing I do know is there really is no limit to what you can do. If you want to do something, do your own research and get started. Even if your plan isn't perfect, you just need a starting point. You can always fix it along the way."
Stemen is set to compete in the NPC Natural Ohio Bodybuilding Physique, Figure and Bikini Championships in Lakewood on April 6.

"Spirit House Center For Attitudinal Healing" is 501 (C)(3) non-profit, nonsecular, charitable organization dedicated to providing support within our community to re-member our true identities as Sacred beings connected with the Sacredness of Life. We offer healing supportive services to those touched by life threatening illness, ceremonies using Attitudinal Healing Principles, study groups, workshops, retreats and opportunities for community to gather, sing/dance/play music for healing and deepen our awareness of the Sacred. We define healing as the process of letting go of painful beliefs and fearful attitudes. When we let go of fear, only Love remains.
At Spirit House Center we have a variety of on-going programs, services, retreats and planned offerings to the community we serve. We work with groups and individuals using Attitudinal Healing Principles to explore healing and inner peace. We are located in Northern California on the beautiful Mendocino Coast between the villages of Historic Mendocino and the town of Fort Bragg. Located on two acres we can accommodate small groups.
"Attitudinal healing" is the process of releasing our fears so that we can experience our natural state which is to be loving and peaceful. As we "choose-again" to change our fearful attitudes, we are free to let go of the past and to live in the present moment, to forgive ourselves and others, to feel our connectedness with others, and to feel loved. The healed mind trusts that the world is governed by a power in it but not of it; that power is Love, the most important healing power in the world. And that power will guide us to the extent we trust it and remember to call upon it.

DALTON, Ga. (AP) - Convention and tourism officials in northwest Georgia are trying to figure out ways to upgrade the Northwest Georgia Trade and Convention Center.
Dalton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Brett Huske says the facility, built 21 years ago, is showing signs of its age.
Huske tells The Daily Citizen (http://bit.ly/ycclf1) that the center has been passed over for conventions. He said Dalton wasn't chosen for the Georgia governor's conference on tourism, for instance, because organizers said the facility was "tired" and lacked an attached hotel.
The trade center was designed so that a hotel could be attached to it, but that has never happened.
Dan Rogers, chairman of the trade center authority board, says the board recognizes the importance of having a hotel at the center.

Dr. Rowena Spencer describes herself as a "baby doctor with strong opinions." She will turn 91 on July 3, 2013.
Although she retired from pediatric surgery in 1984, she continues to reflect on the many babies she has treated. "I think of them as one baby, multiplied, and I loved everyone of them," she says.
She practiced pediatric surgery in New Orleans for thirty years, also conducting research and serving on the medical school faculties of Louisiana State University and Tulane University. Following her retirement, she devoted a decade to writing a comprehensive medical text on conjoined twins.
When she began her career in 1953, she was one of the first women in the country to specialize in pediatric surgery, doing so at a time when the field itself was developing and evolving as a surgical specialty. In 1975, she was among the first group of surgeons to qualify for the Certificate of Special Competence in Pediatric Surgery from the American Board of Surgery.
Dr. Spencer is from Central Louisiana and was the third of four daughters of Lewis Cass Spencer, an orthopedic surgeon. In 1947, she graduated from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where she was one of four women in her class, subsequently becoming the school's first woman intern in surgery. She continued her surgical training in Philadelphia, New Orleans and Stockholm.
Last year, as she approached 90, Dr. Spencer reflected here on her life and career. [AMSA On Call, "A Conversation with Dr. Rowena Spencer at 90," June 29, 2012.] Her remarks prompted responses from a wide range of readers, including friends, colleagues, patients and former students.
Dr. Spencer shares additional observations with Charles A. Fishkin, a former patient who is now a finance professor in New York. When you began your career, what was the state of pediatric surgery? Babies needed special care, and a lot of it. They needed good care specifically directed to them. What qualities are important for a pediatric surgeon? You have to have compassion. You have to have strong sympathy for the children you are working on. You have to make the experience positive for the child. It helps tremendously. Describe your approach to pediatric surgery: Plan the procedure. Do what you plan, and get it done promptly. What advice do you have for residents in pediatric surgery? You can't just dump a baby on the exam table. You once worked eight years without a day off. What motivated you to sustain such an effort? You can't just go fishing. If it's my baby and I am responsible for it, I am going to be there. You just can't turn around and walk off. On her experience as a medical student at Johns Hopkins: It was built for me. The minute I laid eyes on it, I knew it was my place. I loved every minute of it. It was an honor and a privilege. On her research and writing about conjoined twins: It was just so fascinating. It just ate me up. I just lived with twins. It was in my thoughts twenty-four hours a day. On herself: It's been a very good life.

Artwork gives 'different perspective' on young patients
An art exhibition by young patients depicting their experiences of hospital has been described as 'eye-opening' by staff working in the health sector.
– Linda Hughes-Jones, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board
Looking at the way the children have expressed themselves through their artwork gives us, as adults and clinicians, a very different perspective on what it's like to be a young person in hospital.
We hope that this year's art project has provided our young patients with an opportunity to express themselves through creative work and helped them feel more comfortable at what can be a worrying time in their lives.

Brontes would fight for Haworth loos, says Christa Ackroyd
6:00am Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News By Chris Tate, Aire/Worth Valley Reporter
The Bronte family would be writing shocked letters of complaint to Bradford Council over plans to shut Haworth's Central Park toilets, claims former TV presenter Christa Ackroyd.
She has joined the battle to save the award-winning loos and said she believed the sisters, and in particular their father Patrick, would have been outraged at any move to strip the village of such valued amenities.
"Patrick spent years campaigning for social and public health improvements and in 1849 wrote to the General Board of Health asking for an inspector to be sent to Haworth – which was then said to have worse sanitary conditions that the London slums," Miss Ackroyd said.
"At that time 24 houses shared one toilet and there were only 69 toilets for a population of 2,500.
"It really was a case of open sewers running down the streets."
An inspector, Benjamin Babbage arrived the next year and it was agreed to install a proper sewerage system, for which each house had to pay two pennies for the next 30 years.
"Sanitation, as well as education for all, was something Patrick really believed in, as did his daughters," said Miss Ackroyd, who now runs a guest house which caters for Bronte fans from around the world.
Miss Ackroyd said she found it impossible to see any logic behind plans to close the modern toilet block which serves the park and also the lower reaches of the village.
"One million tourists come to Haworth each year and if they only spend £3 each, then that's £3 million entering the system.
"That means the shops are successful and so pay their rates but if the lack of toilets deters just ten per cent from coming to Haworth, that would be a loss of £300,000.
"I know these are hard times because of the cuts, but it makes no economic sense to risk any loss to Haworth.
"It just isn't cost-effective."
Miss Ackroyd said closing the Central Park toilets would also dissuade families and the elderly from visiting the park.
"The message to tourists from the Council seems to be 'come to Haworth because it is a real gem and spend your money – but we won't spend anything on you'," she said.
"That's surely not we want all the visitors to the Tour de France to think?"
Councillor Andrew Thornton, the Council's executive member for environment, sport and sustainability, said: "We are in a process of consultation involving petitions and listening to what people say before reaching a final decision."

Permits Are Required: Generally things like bathroom remodels, moving existing plumbing, or adding new a new gas line for your BBQ will require a permit. A professional will know when a permit is required and the process and building codes to make sure the inspections go through.
Main Line Stoppage: Anytime the toilets are backing up into the tubs and showers the problem is most likely the main line. This usually requires special equipment that most homeowners don't typically have. While renting the equipment is possible, it is not advisable unless you have experience using it. A professional will have experience using the equipment and clearing out the main line.
Shower Valve Replacement: This can be complex and time consuming for the inexperienced do-it-yourselfer. An expert can help you pick out the right valve for your shower. The options are many and it can get confusing very quickly. There is also the possibility of damaging the shower walls in the process. A professional will know how to change the valve with the least amount of damage (if any) to your walls.
Water Heaters: Depending on this situation it is not recommended to work on your own water heater without experience or proper guidance. There are a lot of things that can go wrong during a water heater repair. An apparently simple adjustment may end up making a leak worse or causing more damage.
Tub Replacement: This type of project is a big job, even for the professional plumber. It may sound straight forward, but it is quite involved and I don't recommend it for even the handiest homeowner.
Even with small projects it can sometimes be worthwhile to call a professional. Hiring a plumber can sometimes save both time and money. Before you buy tools and invest your time, call around to find out what a pro will charge. Then you'll know just how much you can save yourself.

Cuban star Chapman joins Reds
Cincy reels in prized left-hander with six-year deal
CINCINNATI -- Until he pitches in a big league game, Aroldis Chapman and his potential will carry some degree of mystery. But as bids were being entered for his services, the Reds simply knew they had to have the flame-throwing left-handed pitcher.
Chapman in CincyComplete coverage
• Deal was under radar
• Joins Reds
• Coming soon to rotation?
• Scouts: Rare package
• Reds react
• Learning about Cincy
• Cincy's Latin push
• Showcases open doors
• Nats were in race
• Fantasy analysis
• Press release
Several clubs were mentioned in media reports during the process, but when it was over, it was the Reds that surprised everyone when they successfully signed the 21-year-old defector from Cuba."When you look at the size of the market where we are in Cincinnati, we have to take some bold moves from time to time to try and improve this franchise and make it better," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said during a news conference on Monday at Great American Ball Park. How's this for bold? The unproven Chapman will receive $30.25 million over the next six years, plus incentives. He was given a $16.25 million signing bonus. Much of the money will be spread out over 10 years. In comparison, fellow Cuban defector Jose Contreras received a $32 million contract with a reported $6 million bonus when he signed with the Yankees in December 2002. Recent overall No. 1 Draft pick Stephen Strasburg's total signing package from the Nationals was worth $15 million with a $7.5 million bonus. The 2001 Draft's No. 2 pick, pitcher Mark Prior, received $10.5 million as a bonus from the Cubs. Chapman's agent, Randy Hendricks, said that the Reds beat out the A's to get the pitcher. There was an unnamed third-place team that Hendricks would not reveal, only that it was also a team with a sub .500 record in 2009. Other clubs believed to have been in the hunt were the Nationals, Blue Jays, Marlins, Angels and Red Sox. The Red Sox were the first to bid with an initial $15.5 million offer in early December. Toronto reportedly offered $23 million. The Marlins also reportedly offered a deal in the $16 million range. "The Reds were persistent all the way through," Hendricks said. "They were one of several teams that were very much in the mix all the way." Chapman, who will turn 22 in February, pitched in a workout for scouts on Dec. 15 in Houston and impressed, as he threw what was termed by Hendricks at 85 percent. The final pitch of the workout was clocked at 97 mph.
|"Hopefully he is one of our top five starters when we break camp. We'll have him go down and work on what he needs to work on."

Latvians & Spaniards Spoil Title Rematch Plans at Men's FIVB U-21 Worlds
Porto Santo, Portugal, September 19, 2004 - It looked like Brazil and Germany would play again here Sunday for the men's FIVB U-21 World Championships for Beach Volleyball players under 21 years old title, but Valters Ramma and Toms Smedins of Latvia and Miguel Angel Amo and Inocencio Lario of Spain spoiled the rematch of the countries in the 2003 finals.
Ramma (19 years old) and Smedins (18), who had to win two qualifying matches Wednesday to become the 24th-seeded team in the Main Draw, scored a 18-21, 21-18 and 15-13 win in 59 minutes over 20th-seeded Tom Götz (19) and Stefan Uhmann (18) of Germany in Sunday's first semi-final at the new Beach Sports Stadium on Penedo do Sono.
Eighth-seeded Miguel Angel Amo (19) and Inocencio Lario (20) of Spain upset second-seeded Moisés Santos (20) and Pedro Solberg Salgado (18) of Brazil 19-21, 23-21 and 15-13 to advance to the finals. The 68-minute semi-final match, the longest of the competition, also featured the two countries that competed for the first two FIVB U-21 titles in France (2001) and Italy (2002).
Solberg Salgado and Pedro Cunha defeated Daniel Krug and Mischa Urbatzka of Germany in the 2003 finals 21-12 and 21-18. For Solberg Salgado, it denied him a chance to give his family a second gold medal this weekend along with capturing his second-straight men's FIVB U-21 World Championship after teaming last season with Cunha to win the title in Saint Quay Portrieux, France.
Carolina Solberg Salgado, Pedro's 17-year old young sister, won the FIVB women's U-21 gold medal Saturday as she and Taiana Lima (20) scored a 21-11 and 21-12 victory over the Marion Castelli (20) and Eva Hamzaoui (19) of France.
While the Latvian men are 8-0 in the competition so fair, the Spaniards have now posted a 5-1 record. Amo and Lario, who dropped their second pool play match to Götz and Uhmann (22-20 and 21-15), have defeated teams from Canada, France, the Czech Republic, France and Brazil. Ramma and Smedins have wins over tandems from Denmark (qualifying), Austria (qualifying), Portugal, Austria, Mexico, the Netherlands, Switzerland and German.
