JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Concern about the growing number of flu cases has spurred a northern New Jersey hospital to temporarily impose restrictions on who can visit patients.
Jersey City Medical Center says anyone exhibiting flu-like symptoms and all children will be kept away from patients under the rules that took effect Saturday and will continue "indefinitely."
Hospital spokesman Mark Rabson tells The Jersey Journal that the rules were put in place to protect all patients.
New Jersey health officials are reporting moderate or high levels of flu activity throughout the state's 21 counties. Rabson says 50 percent of the emergency-room cases at Jersey City Medical Center are patients diagnosed with flulike symptoms.

Quick fix: Overcleansing dries out your skin, so be sure to choose a mild formula. "You need to preserve your skin's protective oils in the winter, not wash them away," says Susan Van Dyke, MD, a dermatologist in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
Seasonal solution: "If it's time to get out your winter coat, it's time to switch to heavier, more protective skincare products," says Brooke Jackson, MD, dermatologist and founder of the Skin Wellness Center of Chicago. After cleansing in the morning, apply a moisturizing serum with hyaluronic acid (a potent hydrator) and use a face and eye cream. It's important to make sure both contain UV protection. Before bed, rub in a layer of rich night cream.

The Spokane Indians scored four early runs and then held off the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes in a 4-3 win on Wednesday night at Volcanoes Stadium.
The Indians had a balanced offensive attack, as the team's seven hits all came from different players. Four of the hits were doubles.
The Indians grabbed their first lead of the game on a Marcus Greene RBI double in the second inning that gave them a 2-1 advantage.
Spokane added another pair of runs in the third and the pitching staff made the 4-1 lead stand.
David Ledbetter went five innings for the win, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits. Ledbetter also struck out four and walked none. Ryne Slack threw an inning of scoreless relief and Alex De La Cruz went three hitless frames for his first save.

When faced with times of stress, illness and crisis, people often draw closer to their spiritual side. Chaplains provide an important service in a healthcare environment as they work to support the spiritual needs of patients, family members and care team members alike. Chaplains are available at all times of the day or night for concerns or prayer.
Crisis ministry provides spiritual support to people facing traumas, a major decision, shocking news or illness. Chaplains help people face the crisis so that they can respond to it in positive and constructive ways. Listening, clarifying, and offering the resources of faith are an important part of crisis ministry.
When a loss occurs in people's lives, whether by death or in some other form, grief follows. Chaplains offer spiritual support to those who are grieving, so that their grieving may lead to healing, rather than despair or disability. Affirming the value and validity of grieving losses is essential in grief ministry.
Hospice ministry provides spiritual support to people who are experiencing the dying process, the event of death, or the bereavement and grief that follows death. Most of this ministry takes place in the homes of patients and families.
Using games, toys and puppets, chaplains help children work through the feelings they experience about their hospital stay. The love and care the child experiences helps to teach the child that God is loving and caring. Chaplains are available to help children throughout the hospital who may be experiencing a very sick or dying family member.
Those looking for a quiet place to pray or meditate can visit the Chapel and its adjacent Chapel Garden at Advocate BroMenn Medical Center. The Chapel is open 24 hours a day and is located on the first floor, down the hall from Administration.
Access to the Garden is available through the Chapel, until 8:30 p.m. nightly. Brief chapel services are held weekly on Wednesdays at 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning services are held from 11:30 a.m. - noon. Special holiday services are also conducted throughout the year.
The Chapel at Advocate Eureka Hospital is open 24 hours a day and is located on the first floor, at the north end of the building.
Chaplains are available to either offer sacraments, such as communion and sacrament of the sick, or to make arrangements for the patient or family's own minister to bring such sacraments.
The Prayer Line is a 3-5 minute recorded meditation service offered by the BroMenn chaplains. The line can be accessed in the hospital by calling extension 2210 or from outside the hospital by calling 309.268.2210.

Allison Mistrett, the founder and director of Leaps and Bounds, a pediatric occupational therapy practice, says she has seen children master "Where's Waldo?" on an iPad but struggle to find their shoes in a crowded room.
Similarly, Rich says that many toddlers enjoy finger painting apps, but he questions whether the two-dimensional version trumps the real thing.
"The iPad does not give you that great feeling of paint squishing through your fingers," he says. "As much of a pain as that is for parents, think how much kids are learning about cause and effect. Not only can they draw pictures, they can make their hair all green and get a real reaction from Mom."
— — —
Bennett has seen some practical benefits to iPads, however. Some toddlers watch movies while receiving shots in his office, which is helpful because distraction is one of the best tactics for dealing with pain at that age.
He generally advises parents to follow the AAP's recommendation that children over 2 should limit screen time to less than one to two hours per day.
"[Screens] should be a position of last resort," he says. "It's okay to let a toddler use a screen for 15 to 30 minutes once a day if a parent has to make dinner and has no other way to keep the child occupied and safe."
Tonia Sanders, a stay-at-home mother and blogger in Fairfax County, Va., doesn't see the harm in young kids' using technology. Each of her daughters, ages 3 and 6, has an iPhone, and the older girl got an iPod Touch when she was 2. Both girls also play with Sanders' iPad.
Sanders says that apps initially helped her older daughter master counting, learn letters and identify shapes. Now that she's older, she is interested in apps that show the workings of the digestive and nervous systems.

CBBC Newsround Cast InterviewsGoFFilm
CBBC Newsround has posted a fresh new batch of interviews with cast members from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. There is a good interview with actor Robert Pattinson, who portrays Hufflepuff Cedric Diggory, where he talks about his role in the new film, and about his character in the fourth Potter film.
What were your first impressions of Cedric?
I think he's a pretty cool character. He's not really a complete cliche of the good kid in school. He's just quiet. He is actually just a genuinely good person, but he doesn't make a big deal about it or anything.
He's just like, whatever. I can kind of relate to that. He's not an unattractive character at all and his storyline is a nice storyline to play.
The interview with actress Clemence Poesy covers her role as Beauxbaton Champion Fleur Delacour, and some of her favorite scenes in Goblet of Fire.
Did you learn to dance?
Yeah, we did, we had some dance lessons and that was great fun because we shot that sequence actually two weeks before Christmas and the whole set was silver. We had dancing lessons all together which was something, because we're not dancers so it was quite funny! And then we spent the very last week before Christmas dancing all together so it was a bit of a party kind of spirit.
Finally, the interview with Stanislav Ianevski (Viktor Krum) includes topics such as filming the maze scene, and a bit of fun had by the cast during another filming session.
Did you have much fun on the set? You get Hermione's name wrong which gets a few laughs. Was that fun to film?
Yeah, definitely. Not only to film - I remember in the Great Hall, when we were eating ice cream and cakes and everything, and suddenly the cast just went mad, splashing juice all over each other and the costumes went all dirty - and it was just crazy!

Had the last pint at Barley's in Asheville on Friday, reviewing from a growler.
a - pours nearly black with a two-finger tan head, decent retention, great lacing
s - intense aroma of bittersweet chocolate and espresso...chocolate covered espresso beans, dried blueberries and hints of cherry, no alcohol evident
t - espresso and dark chocolate as on the nose, bitterness and sweetness nicely balanced, mid-palate has more bitter chocolate and espresso with some blueberries thrown in, finish kind of falls off in intensity, but espresso and dark chocolate flavors linger lightly on the palate for quite awhile, along with a cola flavor, not much alcohol detectable
m - medium-bodied, a bit too light bodied for my taste, but not by much, moderate carbonation, finish is well balanced on the palate
d - pretty drinkable for a coffee stout, taste is balanced and complex, relatively easy on the palate, alcohol doesn't overwhelm at all
Excellent coffee stout all around from Pisgah. It'd be nice if they made this a regular release.

Much is owed to atsprings for the share.
Growler poured into a brandy snifter.
A semi-vigorous pour forms a voluminous head, two inches off the dark body and excellently retained. Head color is a tan-custard hue, and the foamy mass looks solid enough to pluck out of the snifter and throw it across the room. Body is pitch black and opaque, although some transparency is evident when the snifter is tipped and held up to the light. The aroma is equally as enticing, packed with notes of fresh-baked cookie dough, gingerbread, caramel-infused coffee, and fresh ground coffee beans.
Valdez lives up to its name, as it coats the palate with an oily-thick, utterly creamy body that requires substantial chewing with every sip. The flavor is like lukewarm, creamy coffee that has been deliciously fermented. Hazlenut roast rounds out the malt profile, while a perfect bitter coffee bite leaves a lasting impression. The drinkability of Valdez is superior for its style. The complexiy and flavor are almost unparalled (although Big Boss' Coffee Stout runs a close second), and as the beer warms it becomes increasingly delicious. A must try for beer-lovers everywhere.

Pours a nice jet black with a decent tan head that diminishes to a lasting thin layer. Aroma is dominated by fresh ground coffee, just a hint of chocolate tries to poke through, but really cannot surpass the coffee at all. The taste is a coffee lovers dream. As others had said in their reviews, it's almost hard to tell that this is beer. The mouth has a great dryness and is very smooth with only a slight alcohol presence. This is an absolutely spectacular beer, another great one from the guys at Pisgah.

Kinda light for a stout in appearance. Thin white head. The nose is intense coffee. Starbucks. Hard to believe this is beer. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied at best. Tastes like coffee, with a roasty bitter finish. Fascinating for what it is, but almost difficult to compare against other stouts. Unique for sure.

A growler shared with Deuane, ClockworkOrange and JohnnyM2002 among others.
A: The stout is a dark cola brown color, almost indistinguishable from black. The growler, despite being wrapped in electrical tape, had lost a good bit of carbonation, so little if any head arose on the multiple pours.
S: The nose is a delicious coffee aroma, a chocolate infused aroma with touches of acrid bitterness. The beer is basically coffee with touches of stout added for good measure. The aroma is tough to beat.
T: The first sip is a rich coffee blast. The java flavor in this beer is damned near the strongest that I've had (and I've had Coffee Bender, Central Waters Coffee Stout and WnB). There is little to suggest that this is a stout, the focus throughout is the deliciously bitter coffee flavor. The coffee flavor lingers long after the sip is gone. And did I mention that the stout has a strong coffee flavor?
M: The coffee flavor is strong but beyond that the taste is rather thin. There is little stout body to back up the arabica beans. A vinous finish would have sealed the deal as a beer d'ambrosia.
D: I stayed close to this growler for as long as it lasted. If you like coffee in your stout, this is a must try.
A second growler resulted in a much thicker, fuller head. The subtle stout flavors also became more evident through the coffee. As a result, Appearance went from 4 to 4.5 and Drinkability went from 4 to 4.5.

This beer is absolutly outstanding. A nice deep black with a tan head. The smell is like a pot of fresh coffee brewing. The taste is like a gourmet blend from the downtown coffee house. Mouthfeel is smooth and drinkability os wonderfull as well. This beer continues Pisgah's upward swing in NC brewing. The next time I have this brew I may add a litte cream and sugar. Great job Pisgah!!

Enjoyed with Kegatron, thanks to Deuane.
Pours a semi-thick black with big coffee colored head, with a great fall leaving a nice burnt orange/tan colored head, some retention and ok lacing. Smells big of chocolate when cold, but lots of coffee otherwise, also some licorice and roasted malt scents. Tastes like a coffee-holics dream with an overload of that magic coffee bean. Creamy cappuccino, milk chocolate, espresso, and bitter fresh roasted coffee with a nice hop finish. Medium in body, creamy and smooth with good carbonation, hides alcohol well. If you like coffee stouts, this is as good as it gets, extremely drinkable. Wish it was proper to start off every morning with a pint of this!

A big, BIG thanks to Deuane for hooking me up with of growler of this on a recent trip down to Asheville.
Pours an inky deep black (just like a cup o' Joe) with a 1/2 finger of creamy burnt mocha (it almost appears red at times) colored head. It retains into a beautiful looking ring with some wisps around the center that left thick swathes of lace as it swirls around in the glass. The aroma is duh, COFFEE! And lots of it! A straight up zippy mix of espresso, coffee grounds, and a little residual sweetness in the background.
The taste is COFFEE, COFFEE, and more COFFEE! It's just lush with roasty notes coffee up front that is balanced out by some sticky chocolate sweetness in the backend. There is also just the slightest amount of bitterness in the finish that lets it end with a nice pop. The mouthfeel has a fantastic smooth and creamy feel to it. Almost like imbibing some caffeinated concoction that you would get at a Star Bucks or Dunkin Donuts. Only better!
Wow, this has to seriously be one of the best Coffee Beers out there. It just tastes so much like drinking a cup, it's ridiculous. I really appreciate the ever so slight but highly effective sweetness character that comes out, balances the dry roasted bitterness, and makes this just a pleasure to drink. I split this growler with a couple of other folks and we agreed that it really is a work of art for what it is. Well done Pisgah!

A-Black with dark brown highlights with a dark tan head. Left decent lacing.
S-ok, this is simple COFFEE! Fresh, ground and brewed quality COFFEE! Can I give a number higher than 5?
T-Ready...this is not a trick question, COFFEE! How can you make a beer that tastes nothing like anything other then COFFEE? No hop bite...and who cares?
M-Full bodied but not heavy. Round. Not quite as creamy as I would have thought...more crisp than I expected.
D-If I told you I drank at least one pint (at least) of these all four days I was in Asheville plus I bought and hauled 4 growlers back to PA with me how could I not give this anything but a 5!
Easily the best straight up coffee brew I have EVER had! Sheer genius by the mad scientists at Pisgah...keep up the FANTASTIC work guys!

I had this on tap at Pisgah and again at Barley's (and I bought a growler for later.) It is pitch black in color with a long-lasting tan head, and it is full of aroma from freshly dark-roasted coffee beans. If I could rate aroma at a 6.5 on the scale of 1-5, I would.
On each sip, coffee flavors fill the mouth. There is very little hop bitterness, nor is there much in the way of creamy sweetness. It really is the epitome of coffee beer, balanced in such a way that it is a session beer for any coffee lover.

First I'd like to thank ncvbc for sending me this growler, I'm gonna have to send you something nice for this one ;o)
Poured into my Surly pint glass.
Slight hiss as I took the cap off, good sign.
Wow! Really intense aroma as soon as I start pouring. I get some of the most freshly roasted coffee aroma I have ever experienced in a coffee stout. There's also quite a bit of cream, sugar and vanilla in the aroma. Wow, look at that, I skipped the description of the beer's appearance and went straight to the aroma...
The Valdez pours a dark roasted color with a good inch of mocha colored foam. The foam retains for about a minute and then settles to a very thin layer. Ok back to the aroma...
A cup of freshly roasted coffee, that's what it smells like. There's also a good dose of toasted malts, chocolate malts, milk chocolate. I'm also picking up some aromas of hazelnut flavored cream. I'm almost afraid to try it and be disappointed of the taste not living up to this wonderful aroma. I could just smell this beer for a few minutes and be pleased with that.
Taste is slightly less intense than the aroma but still very good. Lots of roasted coffee with some toast, nutty malts, cream and finishes with a bit of vanilla. The second sip is slightly more flavorful in the coffee department and now I'm picking up the milk chocolate and some cocoa with just a touch of roasted barley on the finish. After about half a pint I begin to pick up some toffee flavors and more vanilla in the middle.
The mouthfeel is very smooth, semi-creamy, but maybe just a tad thin which seems to come from the low carbonation of this beer. While this beer is lightly carbonated I think it is the perfect amount for this as it does not sting the tongue and passes down smoothly like a cup of coffee with cream.
Drinkability? Well, lets see how I do with this growler, fortunately the beer seems to be only 7%, as stated by a sticker on the growler, but a pint of this drinks extremely easy.
Even though I have some bottled beers from Pisgah, Baptista and Vortex II, this is my first taste of any Pisgah beer and it was great. I cannot wait to try their other offerings.
This beer needs to be bottled!

I received a growler of this beer in the "February Growling at the Moon" exchange from mikesgroove. This was my first month in the exchange and all I can say is I hope every month's beer is this good, but it will certainly be hard to top!!
A - Dark brown to black. When held to the light....nothing at all shines through. There was not much head even after an aggressive pour. I'm assuming it may be because it is from the growler that was a few days old. The small head that did form lasted a very short period and there really was not much lacing as I drank.
S - Since I'm a coffee lover the smell was fantastic. There is not much else to the smell besides coffee, but again it was great to me.
T - Coffee through and through. As an earlier review mentioned, it was like a thick cup of coffee. I almost couldn't tell that it was a beer.
M - It was smooth, creamy, and full but not too full or syrupy. Carbonation just tickled tongue enough - that's what made me remember it was beer not coffee.
D - I cannot begin to explain how much I loved this beer. I could drink it in the morning (which I did since I had a snow day today), or drink at night (which I did immediately after I received it), or drink it all day long (I can only hope I can do that sometime down the road).
As others have mentioned I am a coffee lover too. Just a warning if you are not a coffee lover this beer may not be for you. Overall it is just a well crafted beer.
This is the first offering I had from Pisgah. I can only hope I can get my hands on some more of their stuff, along with more of the Valdez!! Thanks again for spreading the Pisgah love mikesgroove.

A dear friend of mine picked up a growler of Valdez while visiting the brewery two weeks ago. She raved about it, and although my curiosity was roused I put it aside until I had time to drink and think. It was well worth it! This may be the best coffee stout I've ever had.
The growler made a dynamic "poof" as I turned the cap. It poured pitch black into my Pisgah pint glass (also provided by my dear friend). The one-finger head was beautiful; it was dark brown and very dense. One deep inhalation picks up aromas of freshly ground coffee beans and dark, dark malts. There's also an extremely mild fruity ester present, but it takes a very deep sniff to detect it. Flavors of espresso attack the tongue with the first mouthful. The aforementioned sweetness is there as well, but it soon dissipates into a nice, mellow dark coffee center. The finish is a bit hoppy, which balances well with the other flavors. What I really appreciate is the decent malt backbone this version of the coffee stout has; I had another local version of this style just a few weeks ago, and, although it was quite nice, there was too much coffee and not enough balancing malts. This is a far cry better. Well done, Pisgah! I hope to drop by and refill my growler soon!

Pitch black in color. Large brown head with some pink and ruby colors in it. Best head on a beer that I've ever seen. Head recedes and holds at a solid finger in height. Lot's of lacing cakes the glass.
WOW!!! What an aroma. The moment the cap is popped off of the growler, the aroma of fresh ground coffee beans fills the room. Rich dark French Roasted coffee and nothing but coffee.
This beer is totolly single minded and unbalanced, and I love it. Flavor burst of rich dark coffee. This is better than most coffees I've had. Maybe some oatmeal in the finish but it has a hard time shinning through all of the coffee flavors.
Mouthfeel is smooth and yummy. I origionally gave this a 4.5 in mouthfeel as I've never given a beer all 5's because I believe all beers can improve. But I couldn't find any fought in the mouthfeel so it gets a 5 too.
Drinkability? I had it as a nightcap last night and am pouring another pint for breakfest. Pisgah...please put this beer in IV form and run a line right to my veins. Ok, you can't do that. The least you could do is make this your next bottled offering.

Before I start, let me tell you that I do love coffee.
Pours near black with ruby edges and a nice tan head that caps it off and remains for a good while, leaving a good ring with light lacing down the glass. Smell is heavenly. The most fresh coffee I've ever smelled in a beer, as if it were just ground. Good and roasted with a grainy scent. Taste might have just one-upped Breakfast Stout. First it's dark, roasted coffee grounds. Very fresh and tasty, exploding on tongue. It seems too intense until a creamy sensation comes to rescue. Some vanilla and light oats with milky chocolate. It's like I was drinking some black coffee and all the sudden the beer knew I liked a little cream and sugar, brilliant! Mouthfeel is pushing full and I'm not sure this is big enough to qualify as a Double/Imperial Stout but it's excellent. Velvety and creamy for the most part with a slight roast bitterness in there. I had three pints from the growler without even thinking twice...that's when I realized that this might be my new favorite coffee stout.
I think this is actually considered an American Stout and if so it would get a perfect score in my book.

Poured from the tap at Barley's Taproom in Asheville, NC to a pint glass. The liquid is a dark brown to black with good carbonation. The head was a big 2+ fingers but our bar tender toped it off to give a most generous pour. The head when delivered was 1 thick finger of off white creamy foam it had good retention and left good lace.
The smell was like Coffee in a nice stout. The medium roast coffee smell was great, melded with some classic stout aromas like chocolate and light char.
The taste followed well, big coffee flavor, this is easy in the top 5 coffee beers I have had. Must not have had too much alcohol as I had 2 pints and not a buzz, could be 5-6 %. That says something, 43 taps and I have 2 of the same. LOL Other flavors include mild char & light chocolate.
The mouthfeel was good, better then medium body, and nice carbonation.
The drinkability was great, I sampled 5-6 different brews before asking for another of this same. I was told the brewer only did 5 barrels, so if Coffee Stout is your thing get it while you can.
Prosit und Zum Wohl. MK

The body found Wednesday at the Black Eagle Dam has been identified as Graham Macker, 26, from the Kalispell area.
He had run away in November of last year from the Great Falls Pre-Release Center. At that time the Great Falls Police Department, Cascade County Sheriff's Office, a Homeland Security helicopter and a K-9 unit were dispatched to try to find Macker as he ran toward the river by the 15th Street bridge. He is thought to have hid in a highly foliated area, so the authorities were not able to find him. But it was not thought that Macker had fallen into the river.
Wednesday morning, a PPL Montana crew came out to break up the ice around the dam and found the body under the ice shelf.
"What we have is that because we could not get personal inside the water because of the conditions. We had to lower the body down the other side. Its not that far and its safer for everyone. It does not disturb the victim at this point. They can easily walk in at the bottom of the dam and get the victim out safely," said Sheriff Bob Edwards about the removal of the body from the river.
An autopsy revealed the official cause of death to be drowning, so there is no foul play suspected.
The investigation has now been handed over to the Montana State Department of Criminal Investigation, so all new updates will come from that department.
We will keep you update if anymore information becomes available.

Bridgwater scrap yard fire being investigated
7:25am Monday 14th May 2012 in News
THE cause of a fire overnight (May 14) at a scrapyard at Somerset Bridge is currently being investigated.
Two fire engines from Bridgwater were sent out at just before 2am this morning to reports of flames and smoke in a scrap yard off of Taunton Road, Bridgwater.
On arrival crews asked for assistance with a further two fire engines from Taunton and water carrier and hydraulic platform from Bridgwater.
A spokesman for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said: "The fire involved a scrap yard containing about 350 vehicles, a large pile of tyres and workshop surrounded by corrugated metal fence."
At 3am the firefighters asked for the an incident support unit from Taunton and all available foam stock from Taunton and Bridgwater to help fight the blaze.
By 5am the firefighters had the incident under the control and the operation was being scaled down.
The Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said that 50 per cent of the scrapyard had been damaged by fire.
And he added: "The cause of the fire is being investigated."

The United Way was able to surpass its goal in this year's donation drive, Friday.
The group's goal was set at $530,000 and the total raised at 9 A.M. Friday, the total was more then $701,000 dollars. The group was satisfied with the results but did admit they weren't sure they would make the goal today.
"It was such a relief this morning to know that we made the goal, and I can stop worrying about it and now… the campaign doesn't end till next week so hopefully we can bring in a little more,," said Brian Cyr, United Way Chairman.
Friday's results were made possible by a lot of local support including a very generous donation by Lufkin Industries. The company donated over $343,000 to the cause. And a reminder, you can still donate in the drive until the end of next week.

Moore, who danced to Lionel Richie's "My Endless Love" during the talent portion of the program, is the daughter of Wayne and Sandra Moore. She will now move on to compete for the title of Miss Alabama for the second straight year. As Miss UWA 2010, she competed for that crown last year as well.
"I'm so excited," she said. "Every girl did an amazing job, and all of them deserve to be in my place."
Moore also won the Leigh Sherer Award, a $300 scholarship, during Saturday's event at Rowland Auditorium on the Jasper campus of Bevill State Community College. Margaret Able was named as the first runner-up, while Brittany Poe won the talent competition. The Hudson Memorial Scholarship was given to Emily Woods.
The Miss Walker County Pageant has been sponsored by the Pilot Club of Jasper for 39 years and is an official Miss Alabama/Miss America preliminary pageant. Linda Thaler served as the director of this year's pageant and said she felt it was a success.
"I think everything went well," she said. "This pageant is the result of a lot of hard work from some very talented women. We have committees set up to take care of different things involving the pageant, and everyone did their jobs and it went very smooth. We are excited to have Maegen representing Walker County at Miss Alabama."
The mistress of ceremonies for Saturday's competition was Miss Alabama 2010 Ashley Davis. The theme for this year's pageant was "It's a Jungle Out There."
"I want to thank everyone involved with Miss Walker County," Moore said. "The committee that put this together did a great job, and I'm excited to be Miss Walker County for 2011."

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Two key athletic staffers for two Kentucky universities are facing violation allegations in the NCAA investigation into the University of Miami. But critics across the country are now calling for an end the probe.
The story took center stage on ESPN's Outside The Lines and by way of major newspapers now that the NCAA has admitted to its own unethical conduct during the Miami investigation. It could have a major impact on the former Miami staffers now employed by the University of Louisville and Western Kentucky University.
There are calls for the NCAA to drop its investigation at the University of Miami or start all over again. The reason? The NCAA fired its own director of enforcement, Julie Roe Lach, for bungling the investigation.
"Karma," said former Louisville attorney Jim Milliman.
Milliman tells WAVE 3 News what comes around goes around for Julie Roe Lach. He said her alleged serious ethical lapse for the NCAA doesn't surprise him.
"They (NCAA) would do anything, anything to declare somebody ineligible," said Milliman.
Milliman took on Lach in court several years ago defending the eligibility of former UofL basketball player Muhammad Lasege. Milliman said Lasege, who's now an executive at Exxon, was an average player, but highly intelligent young man who truly wanted an education.
"He's the kind of person they should have held up as a poster boy for the NCAA and here they were attacking him and Julie Roe Lach was the one leading the charge," Milliman complained.
Lach is now accused of approving payments for information to Nevin Shapiro's lawyer. Shapiro is the Miami booster serving 20 years in federal prison for running a Ponzi scheme.
Shapiro allegedly had financial and personal relationships with Miami players and coaches. UofL football assistant Clint Hurtt is accused of unethical conduct for allegedly providing misleading information during the probe. Hurtt is a former Miami staffer, as is Western Kentucky University director of basketball operations Jake Morton who is also accused in the investigation. They can only hope the outrage over the NCAA investigation positively impacts their case.
"Move on," Milliman said. "Forget Miami because you can't have an investigation against people where you can destroy people's lives whether it's the coaches or the students or the players by an investigation that's tainted by your own unethical conduct."
The self-imposed sanctions by the University of Miami were significant, including two bowl bans.
Both the University of Louisville and Western Kentucky University are not commenting on Hurtt and Morton saying the prior situations don't involve their schools.

Controversy in prostate cancer today
While many areas are subjects of ongoing clinical study and differences of opinion, many now agree that patients with recently diagnosed prostate cancer are sometimes feeling pushed by their doctors along therapeutically aggressive and expensive paths. This argument has impacted screening recommendations, among others. It is true that many patients will be advised to have surgery by surgeons and radiation by radiation specialists and often don't know how to weigh the options put before them. It is imperative that patients be offered support and counsel by others at this time, including their primary care doctors, medical oncologists, or others with some medical expertise to help weigh the options patients have before them. More and more literature is becoming available in print and online to which patients may also be referred at this time. Such counsel can help relieve patients' anxieties and also help them to make both a sensible and potentially cost-effective decision.
For further information on prostate cancer, contact your local branch of the American Cancer Society or call 1-800-ACS2345.

Shin pain not slowing down Duke's Seth CurryThe Associated Press | February 13,2013DURHAM, N.C. Seth Curry has had a pretty good senior year for No. 2 Duke. Imagine how much better it might be if he could practice.
The senior guard is the Atlantic Coast Conferences third-leading scorer at nearly 17 points per game. He ranks as one of its top 3-point shooters with 57 and likely will play a big part in Dukes game plan against top rival North Carolina tonight.
Thats despite lingering pain in his right shin so persistent that he rarely practices.
Its the college players dream, Curry joked Tuesday. Be able to play a lot of minutes a night and not practice. Im lucky.
Scrimmaging 5-on-5 is almost always out of the question for Curry, who has been playing with the shin pain all season and wears protective braces on his legs to help alleviate the pain. He says his work is usually limited to walk-throughs, going through defensive assignments and shooting without much contact.
Curry has downplayed the injury all season not too bad, he said Tuesday and the key is staying rested and fresh.
Thats all I really need rest, he said. Get my shots up and try to focus on staying sharp.
The stat sheet suggests hes been doing a good job of that for Duke (21-2, 8-2).
His scoring average of 16.8 points, which ranks third in the league behind Virginia Techs Erick Green (25.3 points) and Duke teammate Mason Plumlee (18.2), is nearly four points better than last years.
Hes shooting a career-best 45 percent from the field and hes hitting nearly 42 percent of his 3s better than his 38 percent performance a year ago. Only N.C. States Scott Wood (63) has made more 3-pointers than Curry.
Hes playing 30.8 minutes per game his most since he transferred in from Liberty after his freshman season in 2008-09 and his quick catch-and-release shooting motion has made him a perfect fit in a motion offense that has him running the baseline, coming off screens and knocking down long-range shots.
Its hard to guard anybody thats really good about running around screens, but if a guy cant shoot, you dont really worry about it that much, North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. He does a great job of preparation of getting to the spot where he wants to get to the ball. He reads screens very well, they do a nice job of setting screens, and he usually catches the ball where he can catch it and shoot. . I think he reads screens and sets his man up and changes directions as well as anybody in college basketball.
Williams would know: In five appearances in the sports fiercest rivalry, Curry has five double-figure scoring games. Curry averages 16 points and has made 48 percent of his shots 52 percent from 3-point range.
Finding a way to slow Curry while not wearing themselves out will be key for the Tar Heels (16-7, 6-4), who will be short-handed on the inside. Williams says freshman big man Joel James suffered a concussion last week but didnt tell anybody about it until Monday, and wont play for a team trying to bounce back from a 26-point humiliation four days earlier at No. 3 Miami.
Its difficult because you have to chase (Curry) around screens on defense, and then Coach Williams wants us to run 100 miles per hour on offense, North Carolina guard Dexter Strickland said. Youre chasing him on defense, youre tired and now youve got to run back on offense and youre more tired. Fatigue plays a lot in it, but youve just got to be ready to play.
Curry called it speculation to say that his stat line might benefit even further from four or five days of practice per week, but admitted his quickness and explosiveness might be better.
I dont think he has chances to really work out after practice or do conditioning (and) it just says a lot about him and his toughness because just to play with an injury like that and perform at a top level is tremendous, Duke point guard Quinn Cook said. I dont know how he does it.

Stories We Like: A Guide to the Comma
A simple machine consisting of a bar that pivots on a fixed support, or fulcrum, and is used to transmit torque. A force applied by pushing down on one end of the lever results in a force pushing up at the other end. If the fulcrum is not positioned in the middle of the lever, then the force applied to one end will not yield the same force on the other, since the torque must be the same on either side of the fulcrum. Levers, like gears, can thus be used to increase the force available from a mechanical power source. See more at fulcrum, See also mechanical advantage.

How to Understand and Solve Vision Problems
Vision Solutions
Life isn't exactly easy on the eyes. For starters, there's the normal decline in your vision that comes with aging. (Is anyone out there finding it hard to read the restaurant menu by candlelight or those microscopic instructions on your hair products?) Then there are hormonal fluctuations owing to pregnancy and perimenopause, which also do a number on all parts of your body, including your eyes. And let's not forget about the general wear and tear of all that time spent squinting at a computer monitor or trying to read e-mails on the tiny screen of your cell phone. But before you reach for the bifocals, read on. We asked the experts about some common vision problems you might be encountering -- and the very latest on what you can do about them.
Q. After I've worked at my computer for a couple of hours, my distance vision seems blurry. What's going on?
A. Nearsightedness, technically known as myopia, has increased 66 percent in the past 30 years or so, according to a recent study by the National Eye Institute, and experts say one possible reason may be the rise in computer usage. While your "near work" (like reading, looking at a computer screen, or texting on your BlackBerry) vision may be fine, distant objects may appear blurry when you look up.
"Graduate students tend to have higher rates of nearsightedness than those who go to school for shorter periods of time," says Paul Dougherty, MD, a clinical instructor of ophthalmology at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. "That adds to the theory that close work can cause nearsightedness."
Even the experts don't understand what causes nearsightedness. But some think it may result from changes that happen in the eyes when you're doing a lot of close-up tasks rather than moderate- or distance-vision activities our ancestors probably spent more time doing -- like conversing across a table or hunting outdoors.
Q. Once I hit my early 40s, my eyes started feeling tired and irritated. Why?
A. Welcome to perimenopause. The same hormonal fluctuations that cause erratic periods, mood swings, and night sweats may also cause dry eye. This common condition can make your eyes red and irritated and may make you feel as though you have sand under your lids. It can occur when you have a decrease in tear production (common as estrogen decreases) or when the tear ducts are inflamed (which just happens sometimes; doctors aren't sure why). You can get dry eye if you take antihistamines, antidepressants, diuretics, birth control pills, or anti-anxiety drugs. It can also happen if you have an autoimmune disease such as Sjogren's syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis, says Ilene K. Gipson, PhD, a professor of ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School and the chairman of WomensEyeHealth.org.
While dry eye usually doesn't affect your ability to see, it can be annoying and painful. Over-the-counter artificial tears are the first line of defense. Doctors also often recommend using humidifiers to moisten dry air and eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help combat inflammation. In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, women who ate five or more four-ounce servings of fish (such as salmon or sardines) rich in omega-3 fatty acids each week had a 68 percent lower risk of dry eye than those who averaged less than one serving a week. Supplements can also help, but the quality varies. Ask your doctor to recommend the right dosage and brand.
Restasis is the only FDA-approved drug to treat dry eye. It helps suppress inflammation, explains ophthalmologist Ruth D. Williams, MD, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Patients can use the drops over a long period of time and many feel better, she says.
Another option is punctal plugs, which your ophthalmologist inserts into your tear-duct openings. By at least partially blocking tear drainage, the plugs allow more moisture to be available to the eyes. Researchers are also exploring whether hormone-replacement eyedrops could improve dry-eye symptoms without exposing the rest of the body to the potential side effects of hormone therapy.
"Dehydration at any age can also increase the risk of ocular dryness," says Rachel Bishop, MD, chief of the consult services section at the National Eye Institute. "If you don't have a healthy amount of tears coating your eyes, they will feel irritated and scratchy, and if it's bad enough, it can even create blurred vision." The easy fix? Drink more water. Make sure you're hydrating before, during, and after exercise. And don't forget to replenish fluids regularly throughout your day -- every day. If you're not thirsty and your urine is pale yellow to almost clear, then you're probably drinking enough.
Q. I have to hold this page away from my face just to read the print. Why can't I focus on the words when they're up close?
A. Blame it on presbyopia, a normal phenomenon in which the lens of the eye begins to harden, thanks to aging. "When you're young, the muscles inside the eye contract and allow the lens to increase its power and focus. But as you hit your 40s, the lens begins to lose its elasticity, which makes focusing increasingly difficult," says Dr. Dougherty. "You lose your ability to use your eyes like a zoom lens."
Traditionally, eyeglasses have been the mainstay of treatment. But as boomers age and technology evolves, more cutting-edge procedures are taking center stage. Monovision Lasik, for example, is a popular surgical option that strengthens close-up vision in the weaker eye. (If you have presbyopia and are nearsighted, a surgeon can correct one eye for distance.) A refractive surgeon first creates a flap in the eye, then lifts it to gain access to the cornea. Using a laser, he then reshapes and steepens the cornea, making it better able to zoom in. "The brain learns to favor whichever eye it needs at that moment, so you need glasses less often," says Dr. Bishop. Nearly 90 percent of patients getting monovision Lasik for presbyopia were satisfied with the results, according to a study. "But I definitely recommend that anyone considering this surgery first try out monovision contact lenses to see if that works for her," she says.
Another option? PresbyLasik, a type of refractive surgery that applies different curves to the cornea for clear vision at all distances. Other techniques to correct presbyopia include conductive keratoplasty, which uses radio waves to steepen the cornea, says Dr. Dougherty. "But over time, the area often relaxes and the eye reverts to where it was." Replacing the lens of the eye with an artificial implant is an option if you have cataracts, but implants don't provide perfect vision, so you still may need glasses.

Reviews for Tortellini Appetizer
Sort By :
I couldn't find long toothpicks, so I used bamboo skewers and added a tiny fresh mozzarella ball, an olive, and a marinated artichoke heart quarter. I used a tortellini at the top and bottom of the skewer. I placed the tall skewers in a vase, and it looked like a floral arrangement. The dip is fabulous. I made too much, so I put the leftovers in a bowl, added a dollop of the dressing and tossed, for a great pasta salad.
This was a hit at a recent party. I like it with a little extra pesto.
So yummy, yet light. I've made and taken to several gatherings and it's gone quickly every time! The dipping sauce is the best part. :)
So unique and fun. Delicious!
The dip is sensational. I made it for two Christmas parties and several guests have asked for the recipe. I made an alteration to the skewer: I added small squares of Asiago cheese in between the tortellini and grape tomato to make the flavor a little more intense. This is an easy recipe that will impress your guests!

St Luke's Hospice calls for name suggestions for new centre
Updated 10:35am Wednesday 26th February 2014 in News By Bruce Thain
People are being called to help name a new hospice centre that will provide support to people in the early stages of illness.
The new support centre at St Luke's Hospice, in Kenton Grange, is due to open in the spring this year.
With the opening so close, the hospice care calling for members of the public to help name the build.
The centre will be used to support patients, including cancer and non-cancer diagnoses, who are at the start of their treatment for their illness.
It will house a new breathlessness clinic, a range of theory sessions and be the base for drop-in consultation sessions for people to use.
Jo Archer, director of patient services, said: "This is a really exciting time for St Luke's and everyone who works here. It gives us the opportunity to develop our services so that they really reflect what our patients and families want and need.
"Asking the local community to help us name the centre and decide what we do here will bring us even closer to the people that really matter to us."
Money for the new extension was secured with the help of the Department of Health Capital Grants programme and the Rank, Rose and Trusthouse Foundations and the Will Charitable Trust.
Entries for naming suggestions will be March 7 and those interested in taking part can do so by clicking here or emailing email@example.com

Our initial response to the design of the Dream was a let down. The ship does not have the wide open public spaces as in other ships. The promenade is really a wide hallway with a few stores at one end and a few bars, lounges at the opposite end.
Even the dining room felt small. The ceilings were low and it felt closed in. I'm not sure if the dining room was indeed small or it just felt small but the long wait each evening (your choice dining) to get seated for dinner tells me they couldn't accommodate everyone. The longest wait time 45 minutes, although if you visit the dining room around 8pm you may not encounter any wait.
The food options on the lido deck was great. I really appreciated the variety however the long wait for some of these options - Mongolian Wok were not worth it. There were folks waiting in line at the Mongolian Wok for over 30 minutes! If you really wan Mongolian head to the line after 2pm. You will still have to wait about 15 minutes, but you can't avoid any wait time here. If you are in a hurry head to the Grill or the Pizzeria.
Overall we had a great time, but we've had better. It was the first cruise ever where I felt we were cruising with 3,500+ people. For the most part cruise lines do a great job of avoiding the crowded feel. On the Dream we just couldn't get away from it.
