vacation rental description
Beautiful Keuka Lake is the most picturesque of New York's pristine Finger Lakes, in the heart of the wine country. It is 20 miles long, boasts about 60 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 186 feet. It has become the top destination in the Finger Lakes Region.
Located within a short walking distance to Keuka Lake State Park (with boat launch and many hiking trails) and Esperanza Mansion, our charmingly rustic, very clean cottage is situated on a quiet, private road with spectacular views overlooking the northwest branch of the lake. This cottage is perfect for a couple or a small family.
Sit back, unwind and enjoy the gorgeous romantic sunsets on 50 feet of lake frontage next to your crackling beach bonfire. Swim, fish, or take the rowboat out for a leisurely ride. Or simply take in the beautiful scenery from the comfortable patio chairs on the partially covered deck after a relaxing day of wine tasting.
The cottage is 7 miles from Penn Yan, 1 mile from Basin Park Marina (boat rentals, etc.), less than half a mile to fine dining at Esperanza Mansion, a very short stroll to Keuka Lake State Park, close to the famous Keuka Lake Wine Trail for tastings and tours, hiking, golfing, gift shops, antiques, many restaurants and much more.

Alex Swenson signs professional contract
Former JU baseball catcher Alex Swenson worked three years to become the Dolphins' "Iron Man" behind the plate the last two years and now he will get a chance to work a little longer after signing a professional contract with the Newark Bears of the Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball.
"I'm glad Swenny is getting an opportunity to play at the next level," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "I have never coached a player that has worked harder to improve his game. He is the ultimate teammate and a player that every coach wants on his roster. I know he will take this chance and give it everything he has."
Swenson, who recently had a tryout with the Kansas City Royals, was told by the organization that it wanted to see him play in more games before signing him to a major league contract. The Royals contacted Newark and the Bears, which are managed by former major leaguer Tim Raines, added Swenson to their 2011 roster. The CanAm League is made up of some players that have had significant time in the Major Leagues while most have played at every level of minor league ball.
"First and foremost, I want to thank Coach Alexander, Coach Tim Montez and Coach Tommy Murphy for all they have done for me the past five years," said Swenson. "They have developed me as a player and instilled the confidence that I can continue to play after college. Now I look forward to continuing my career at the next level where I expect to keep learning and improving."

Muamba's release "almost a miracle," says cardiologist
A leading cardiologist has described Fabrice Muamba's release from hospital as "almost a miracle".
Dr Iqbal Malik, cardiologist at Hammersmith Hospital, said:
It's almost a miracle that he's come through and it appears that he is unscathed by it all. The fact that he was smiling, walking out of hospital and seemed to be communicating perfectly normally is fantastic news and nearly miraculous."

We accompanied my 88 yr old parents on a 7 nite cruise NOLA to NOLA. We had originally booked a 4 nite, but the duration changed to 7 with no price increase.
Let me stop and say how delightful the Captain, Officers, Stewards, Servers, & even the Deckhands are!
Everyone was helpful and special consideration (& golf cart transportation) given to any handicapped folks who needed it. My Mom & Step Dad were two that did!
We toured Houmas House in Natchez after a brief stop at Oak Alley. (the tour day for Oak Alley was changed to Friday). Our next stop was Vicksburg and we had planned to visit the first place Coca-Cola was bottled. As we checked on breakfast time with my parents cabin, we found something very wrong with my Mom. Paramedics were called and she was transported to Vicksburg hospital. After testing she made improvement and was transferred to our home hospital by ambulance. We returned to the ship to many concerned passengers she has become acquainted with and packed their cabin and ours. We had to end our cruise early, but precious memories were made and My Mom was treated like the "belle" of the Ball.
Thanks to the staff for help in our time of need. Sara Sealy

The game started off slowly, with penalties and turnovers haunting both teams in the first quarter.
Curry finally got going with 6:14 left in the second quarter when senior Bradley Loggins hit Jarrod Owens from inside the 20 yard line to put the Jackets on the board, 7-0. Carbon Hill responded with a four and out, before Loggins did it again, this time hitting Lane Oliver from the 20-yard line with 5:13 left in the half for a two-touchdown advantage.
Carbon Hill came back strong, returning the 52 yards. The Bulldogs capped the drive off with Daniel Woodard connecting with Steven Mitchell on a 9-yard strike to cut the gap to 14-7. Curry was able to close the half with a field goal for 17-7.
The second half belonged to the Yellow Jackets, starting with Carbon Hill fumbling the second half kickoff and giving the ball to Curry. The ensuing drive resulted in an 11-yard touchdown run by Terry Pruitt. Another four and out by Carbon Hill was followed by yet another scoring drive by the Jackets. Tristan Warren did the honors, running it in from the 14-yard line.
A 31-yard run by Carbon Hill's Tyler Kirkland and a facemask penalty by Curry on the next drive gave the Bulldogs the field position to get into scoring range, capped off with Woodard hitting Mitchell again, this time from the 5 yard line on a fourth down play to cut the gap to 37-13.
From there, Curry took over, scoring the final three touchdowns. Loggins hit Tyler Hill on a 70-yard touchdown pass, James Stringer added a 4-yard touchdown run and Brett Walton scored on a 30-yard touchdown for the final tally of the night.
Carbon Hill's Jacob Tempus was carted out after an injury in the third quarter. His condition was not known at presstime.
The Yellow Jackets have now won six straight against Carbon Hill and nine of the last ten meetings.
Curry (1-0) travels to Center Point next week to open region play while Carbon Hill (0-1) remains at home against Bibb County.

Arizona Cardinals
Bye week a welcome break for Arizona Cardinals
Not only has Arizona struggled to find ways to win over the past five weeks, they've struggled to get players back from injury. This is the perfect time to take a break, recharge physically and mentally and re-evaluate this team.
Head coach Ken Whisenhunt feels this break is coming at a good time for everybody.
"Sure, especially the younger guys, you can see that in a lot of their eyes right now to this point," he said. "It's been nine and five; fourteen games, that's a college season for them and they've still got a stretch of games to come yet."
The team is enjoying some time away from the practice field, but there is still work that's being done during the down time.
"It gives us a chance to work on some of our inconsistencies, to look at our scheme, what we're doing, look at our players that we're doing it with, a lot of those things," said Whisenhunt. "Plus it gives us a chance to get healthier, that's a big thing."
The health of the Cardinals has definitely been an issue with John Skelton, Kevin Kolb, Ryan Williams, Beanie Wells, Todd Heap, Levi Brown and Greg Toler missing significant time or suffering season-ending injuries.
After nine weeks of the regular season, a lot of people are scratching their heads in confusion after a 4-0 start was followed by five straight losses due to the combination of poor play and injuries.
Coach Whisenhunt referenced the inconsistencies that have plagued this team and he knows that the staff has some work to do over the weekend.
"You know there's tendencies for what we're doing on both sides of the ball and how we can make those more balanced or what we can do, whether it's the scheme that better fits the certain personnel that we're trying to get done on both sides of the ball," he said.
When asked whether or not the staff also benefits from the bye week and the break, Whisenhunt was pretty clear.
"I think where we are right now after nine weeks, absolutely."
Whisenhunt told reporters on Wednesday after the team's final practice that the coaching staff will be in the office Thursday and Friday but will take some time away from the facility over the weekend. The players and coaches return to practice Monday before heading to Atlanta to face the undefeated Falcons on Sunday.

A sexual harassment allegation is being made against Savannah-Chatham Metro Police Chief Willie Lovett, according to a memo sent from the Savannah City Manager Stephanie Cutter to Mayor Edna Jackson and the City Council.
"Allegations of sexual harassment have been made by an SCMPD police officer against Chief Willie Lovett. An investigation by an outside legal firm is in progress," according to the city memo.
Rumors have been flying Thursday afternoon that Lovett is planning to retire. Lovett told WTOC: "I doubt it very seriously."
Contrary to reported rumors about the resignation and retirement of Lovett and a news conference to announce it – WTOC confirmed through city spokesman Bret Bell that not only was Lovett not retiring, but there would not be a news conference.
Bell said: "We have received a complaint. We are investigating that complaint. And will not release any more documents associated with that complaint or discuss that complaint until the conclusion of the investigation."
Bell said Lovett has not been placed on leave during this investigation.

I wanted to send this note to THANK each of you for volunteering to be an E-Advocate with the Arthritis Foundation! Even though what you do as an e-advocate perhaps doesn't feel like much, it really does make a difference. When you answer an email request to send a letter, all of your voices combined make a difference!
An example of that difference is reflected in the President's proposed budget where there is a $5,000,000 loan repayment program for pediatric rheumatologist that are willing to go into states that do not currently have pediatric rheumatologist, such as West Virginia near us, to help those children that suffer from Arthritis
In the near future we will be starting an exciting new advocacy program at the state level. Look for more information on this new program later in 2013.
I want to challenge each and every one of you to come out for the walk. You can walk on your own, form a team or even join our team! Ask your friends and family to join you and if they aren't able, ask them to support the walk financially. Spread the word to co-workers and think about forming a team at your company.
If questions are asked where the money goes, you can assure them most of the money raised will stay in our area. It goes to support families, provide education and pay for programs such as Tai Chi, water fitness, scholarships for the Ohio JA Camp just to name a few.
Arthritis impacts people of all ages; let's make sure the Central Ohio area knows arthritis is not acceptable!

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has formally recused himself from hearing the Saints' bounty appeal, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith announced on Twitter. Former commissioner Paul Tagliabue will step in.
"I have held two hearings to date and have modified the discipline in several respects based on my recent meetings with the players," Goodell said in a statement. "I have appointed former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue to serve as the hearing officer for the upcoming appeals. Paul Tagliabue is a genuine football authority whose tenure as commissioner was marked by his thorough and judicious approach to all matters. He has many years of experience in NFL collective bargaining matters and an impeccable reputation for integrity."
Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Goodell has "the exclusive authority to hear appeals of discipline for conduct detrimental or appoint a designee to hear and decide an appeal."
"To be clear, I have not consulted with Paul Tagliabue at any point about the Saints matter nor has he been any part of the process," Goodell said. "Furthermore, under our process the hearing officer has full authority and complete independence to decide the appeal and determine any procedural issues regarding the hearings. I will have no role in the upcoming hearings or in Mr. Tagliabue's decisions."
The four players suspended for their alleged roles in the Saints' bounty program — Jonathan Vilma, Scott Fujita, Anthony Hargrove and Will Smith — appealed their reissued suspensions last week.
An Appeals Panel had remanded the original suspensions back to Goodell in September, and earlier this month he reissued them, mostly upholding the suspensions, though he reduced Hargrove's suspension from eight games to seven and Fujita's from three games to one.
The players had asked that Goodell recuse himself from the appeals process. Tagliabue will oversee the players' appeals hearings on Oct. 30, so the players will be eligible to play the next two weeks.

Reverse Mortgage Risks Remain After Program Changes
Reverse Mortgage Risks Remain After Program Changes
Saturday, March 9, 2013 - 7:16 AM
You might hear about big changes coming to reverse mortgages, as the federal government will soon ban the most popular form of this loan. The government says this will make reverse mortgages safer. But the changes don't fully address the biggest criticism of these loans: Many homeowners are taking large up-front payments (typically to pay off their existing mortgage) that leave them with little remaining income to meet their retirement expenses.
Indeed, older Americans and their families still have reasons to be wary of reverse mortgages.

ARLINGTON – Arlington Parks and Recreation Department officials drained a pond but failed to contact animal services beforehand, leaving fish to flounder in the few inches of water that remain.
"I'm not happy with the way they're treating the poor animals out there," says Linda Lott, referencing the muddy remnant of the pond behind her. She typically reads her Bible in Randol Mill park –– she says she's turned her prayers to the animals who lived in the pond, much of which is now dry land.
"I'm sure the fish have already suffered tremendously," says Linda Yarbrough, a longtime Arlington resident and wildlife rescuer. "Many of them have died, but the egrets are eating them up as fast as they can."
Yarbrough wonders why no one was told the pond was going to be emptied and why efforts weren't taken to save the wildlife.
Arlington Parks and Rec drained the pond this week to fix a drainage system. Officials say when they pulled the plug, they thought it had more water.
"When they did get in to drain it, there was more siltation in the pond than anticipated," said asst. Parks and Recreation Director Matt Young, " That's why you see more exposed land than you do right now than what we would've like to have seen."
Young admits his department did not contact animal services in advance to make sure the wildlife would be protected.
"We didn't anticipate a problem," says Young, "We still really don't think that we have a severe problem."
Animal services is aware of the situation now. Animal rescuers have been rounding up birds that don't fly. They worry now about wildlife that remains on the cusp of a hard freeze Sunday and Monday nights.
"We may even end up with a few compromised mallards that are frozen in ice," says Yarbrough, "The suffering of wildlife is never appropriate at any time."
City officials say the don't anticipate cold weather to be a problem as many birds can fly away.
"The ground temperature in two feet of water is still so warm," said Young, referencing the fish, "They probably will not freeze."
A sign at the park says it's a code violation to harm or disturb wildlife. Animal rights activists hope the city will hold itself accountable.
The $80,000 project is expected to be complete sometime next week. The city says it will restock the pond with fish after it again fills with water.

An accident on I-16 eastbound had traffic backed up for miles.
Two vehicles collided with each other during the Monday morning communte on I-16 eastbound near the Dean Forest Road exit. Officials say the wreck was caused by following too closely.
One of the drivers involved complained of pain and was treated. There is no word on their injuries at this time.
A portion of one of the eastbound lanes of I-16 had to be closed for about an hour while crews worked to clear the scene. Traffic was reportedly backed up past the I-95 exit.
The road is now clear and back open to traffic.

On the face of it, Tallulah Bankhead and Stefanie Powers would seem to have not much more in common than gender (female), profession (actress) and a shared movie experience in the 1965 British thriller Die! Die! My Darling!. But watch Powers giving a bravura performance in Looped at the Parker Playhouse, and you may forget that you're not really in the presence of the bawdy, misbehaving, notorious life force that was Bankhead.
Matthew Lombardo's play, inspired by a real recording session in 1965, earned a best actress Tony Award nomination for its original star, Valerie Harper. They don't give Tonys to touring shows, but if they did, Powers might well get a nomination of her own, particularly as her performance ripens and deepens over time. But already, in her second performance of the too-short Parker run — the second performance of the Looped national tour — Powers is doing an impressive job of channeling Bankhead.
Directed by Rob Ruggiero, Looped takes plays in a Los Angeles recording studio where Bankhead is re-recording one muffled line so that Die! Die! can be released. Set designer Adrian W. Jones has created a Mad Men-worthy space, one that's '60s sleek, and it's there that Bankhead proceeds to drive an anxious film editor named Danny (Brian Hutchison) bonkers.
Bankhead turns what should have been a few minutes' work into two hours of agony for Danny and a way-cool sound engineer named Steve (Matthew Montelongo). She's late, drunk, confused and forgetful. With infinite variety, she botches every take. She snorts cocaine, pops pills and talks endlessly about her favorite subject, which happens to be sex. The f-bomb gets a real workout. Danny, who has other fish to fry, is polite, exasperated, confrontational. And still Tallulah screws up — on purpose, as it turns out.
In the early going, Looped uses provocative, wild, perfectly timed comedy to hook its audience, which it does quite handily. Yet as the crazy recording session goes on, Bankhead and Danny each burrow down to a place of vulnerability and revelation.
She remembers a moment in South Florida theater history, her disastrous turn as Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire at the Coconut Grove Playhouse, but finally she summons the performance that might have been for Danny. He peels away the carefully maintained fictions of his life, which has been far lonelier and more filled with loss than it should have been. They're an odd couple, but against all odds, they connect.
Chic in a rich blue satin dress by William Ivey Long, Powers sports a wavy wig and artful makeup, both designed to make her look a bit more like Bankhead. But it's her husky voice, movie-star diction and go-for-broke outrageousness that allow her to walk (or lurch) in Bankhead's shoes. Her microphone level needs to be a bit louder — the men are much easier to understand — but her performance speaks volumes.

How to Build a Car Camera Mount:
Shooting stable video from inside a moving car is very difficult without some sort of camera mount. Professional car mounts sold by grip equipment houses and professional camera stores can easily cost more than $1,000, and are out of the price range of many independent filmmakers and amateur photographers. Using some basic hardware and a little ingenuity, however, you can make your own car camera mount that should be able to hold most small and medium-sized cameras. With this mount, you can station a camera in the rear of the cab, pointing it out to the front windshield and driver
- Drill a 3/8-inch between the edge and the center hole of a metal electrical plate. This will be used to mount the ball head to the plate
- Pass the 3/8-inch bolt (with 16 threads per inch) through the hole you just drilled and hold it into place using a nut
- Place the two wide washers on either side of the metal plate over the center hole, sandwiching the smaller washer from underneath the plate
- Remove the bolt that will hold a child safety seat from the back seat of the car. Remove the plastic housing surrounding the bolt, and bolt the metal plate in its place
- Screw the ball head into the 3/8-inch 16 bolt and then level and attach a camera
How to Hide a Camera in Car:
The act of this video surveillance devices can raise some tricky ethical issues, but there are some times when what goes on in your own car is your business. A sneakily installed car camera in your vehicle can be a great way to catch a car thief or just keep an eye on how other people are using your car (and who's driving in it). The close quarters of a vehicle make for a good place to easily catch sight of the people in it, but also create challenges for effective concealing of such a camera
- Buy the smallest and most portable camera possible. There are hundreds of different tiny, battery operated car cameras available, including many that are already disguised as other objects. Check out you local electronics store for basic offerings, or look at sites like the car Review Blog (see link in "resources") for the more speciality offerings. As you buy, be sure to consider factors like length of recording time (how much time will you need to spot whatever it is you're looking for?) whether you will want an Internet feed, and whether you will need your recording to have audio. In general, the cameras that are the smallest (and therefore, the easiest to hide) will have less power and the fewest extra features
- Choose a good location for your camera based on what you hope to see. For example, if you're hoping to catch a glimpse of a car thief's face, you'll want your camera to be positioned somewhere on the dash board, facing the driver's seat, whereas any shenanigans you hope to spot in the backseat will require a camera positioned somewhere in the back of the front seats. While it may seem like a good idea to get a camera whose angle and focus can be remotely adjusted, bear in mind that this will likely make a sound that will be noticed by whomever you are trying to put on
- Disguise your camera in an object that can be removed from the car. This is the easiest way to hide the camera, but you'll want to choose an object and position that the passengers will be unlikely to move. Good options include sunglass clips on the overhead flaps, hulu or bobble-head sculptures on the dash, large objects hanging from the rearview mirror (like fuzzy dice) or reusable trash bags that hang behind the front seats
- Hide your camera somewhere in part of the car itself. This method will take a bit more work, but if you can pull it off successfully, it will be the most secure way to hide a camera that won't be noticed or removed. Try hollowing out a space for it in a seat cushion (a seat cover made of a translucent, stretchy fabric will hide this well), inside the dash board, or inside vents or speakers
- Test the positioned camera to see what it's recording. Even if you're sure you've positioned it well, you will want to take some test footage (or perform a test feed) to make sure you're getting the view you want. If possible, test with people in the car to make sure you're catching their movements and have the camera adjusted to proper head heights

Speaking at a tailgate-style fan luncheon in Green Bay on Tuesday, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said he sees new signs that owners are preparing for a lockout in 2011.
A recent Sports Business Journal report said that the NFL is requiring banks that lend money to its teams to extend grace periods for loan defaults through the end of the 2011 season in the event of a lockout.
"That to me is a step where the owners are protecting themselves in the event that there is no season," said Smith.
Smith cited other moves, such as provisions in television deals, as more evidence that owners are planning for no football in 2011.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, the team's newly elected player rep, asked the crowd for its support.
On Monday, the Packers became the latest team to vote to give the union the authority to decertify in the event of a lockout, which would give players the right to sue the NFL.
The way we see it
The moves by the owners seen as preparation for a potential lockout aren't a good sign. It likely means they do not expect to budge in negotiations and don't foresee the players budging, either. Smith has continued to spread the word to players and fans about the possible lockout, being extremely proactive as the Packers join a host of teams who have voted for decertification authority.

If you prefer to choose organics, this tag helps you find the foods at BI-LO that are grown and produced according to organic standards.
What Makes Our Produce Organic?
- Grown and packaged to standards and certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
- Produced using sustainable farming methods
- Free of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
- Free of irradiation, sewage sludge or genetically modified organisms (GMOs)

Organic Farmer Profile
Earthbound Farm
BI-LO has partnered with Earthbound Farm to bring you the freshest selection of healthy, delicious organic gourmet salads, fruits and vegetables.
Back in 1984, Earthbound Farm started an unexpected journey in a 2 1/2 acre organic garden in sunny Carmel Valley, California and wound up providing fresh and wonderful organic produce to kitchen tables and dining halls, supermarkets and corner stores across the country. Since the beginning, they've had a passion to produce the purest food possible - food that nourishes and delights - with respect and care for people and the planet. Since the beginning, that's meant organic food and farming.
Does organic farming benefit everyone?
Organic methods help keep toxic and persistent chemicals out of our air, water, soil and food supply; organic soil also fights climate change by absorbing and sequestering carbon.
Why are organic farms good neighbors?
Because organic farmers don't use synthetic chemicals, they create a safer working environment for farm workers and help reduce chemical exposures for neighboring homes, schools and businesses.
How does organic farming supports healthy life.
Organic farmers build balanced ecosystems and biodiversity in their fields. The healthy land in turn supports strong plants that can resist pests and diseases naturally, without toxic chemicals.
How does organic farmland conserves precious water?
Organic farming methods build rich, healthy soil that resists erosion - in fact, organic land actually gets more fertile the longer it's managed organically. Organic soil retains moisture more effectively, so organic farmers use less water on their crops. And because organic farms don't use synthetic fertilizers, they don't contribute to runoff pollution of groundwater and waterways by conventional agricultural chemicals.
Does oganic produce pack more nutrition?
Research has found that average levels of 11 nutrients are 25% higher in organic foods. Eating fresh organic produce and organic processed fruits and veggies can help you increase your antioxidant intake by about 30% over conventional produce.

Taxi driver cut from car after crash in Wyke
10:03pm Sunday 16th February 2014 in News
A taxi driver was cut out of his vehicle after it collided with a van travelling in the opposite direction this evening.
Firefighters were called from Odsal and Cleckheaton after the incident, which took place on Wyke Lane, Bradford, at 7.20pm.
The two vehicles side swiped each other, and while the van driver was uninjured, the driver of the private hire car suffered neck injuries.
Fire crews cut the roof and side off the vehicle and removed the driver on a stretcher. He was taken by ambulance to Bradford Royal Infirmary, although his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
A passenger was also taken to hospital as a precaution.
The crews were at the scene for two hours before handing the incident over to police.

A physician wants to schedule a 52-year-old patient who is in the office for a laparoscopic hysterectomy due to abnormal bleeding refractory to other treatment. She is otherwise healthy. She indicates at the very end of the visit that she wants her ovaries removed because of concern about ovarian cancer. The physician dictates that information in the office note, along with a complete history and physical exam.
The next day, the physician instructs his secretary to send the usual notes and consent form to the hospital operating room "scheduling desk." The secretary, who is relatively new, sends the last office note she can find—not the one dictated the day before—which only briefly summarizes why the patient will need surgery. She also sends the consent form. The clerk at the operating room scheduling desk files the information in a folder for the day of surgery.
On the day of surgery several weeks later, the nurse assigned to the patient cannot find the consent form sent over by the office. When the nurse is talking to the patient about the surgery, the woman reiterates the desire to have her uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries removed (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy; BSO). The nurse pages the resident assigned to assist on the case and tells her she needs to redo the consent form.
When the resident arrives, the original nurse has gone on break. The resident queries the patient, who says she is here for a hysterectomy, and has her sign a consent for a "laparoscopic hysterectomy." The resident also does a brief history and physical exam. When the physician arrives, somewhat late due to traffic, he briefly reviews the forms and asks the patient whether she has any questions. She asks none and is taken to the operating room.
A time-out is done prior to anesthesia. The physician indicates during this process that the procedure will be a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Hearing no comment, the surgery proceeds and is carried out without complications. The fallopian tubes and ovaries are not removed.
At a 4-week follow-up in the office, the patient is told the uterine pathology was benign. When she asks if the ovaries showed any abnormality, the physician discovers, to his chagrin, that the surgery was incomplete.

This hypothetical case illustrates how failure to accurately communicate information can have significant consequences. Even when errors potentially can be avoided, failure to have an appropriate system of handoffs can thwart such efforts. For this article on the subject of handoffs, we discuss the strategy for analyzing and formulating a process, determining content, implementation, and monitoring.
Analysis of the Process
The first action, as discussed by Arora and Johnson, is to map out the steps in the process. Essentially, draw a flow diagram of a process as it currently exists, to better understand what areas need to be addressed and who is responsible for each step or portion of a step. In the hypothetical case, one would include as major steps the gathering of information in the office, scheduling of the case, transfer of information to the operating room, review of information at the time of surgery, transfer of information when there are changes of personnel, and the time-out process in the operating room.
During the analysis, one needs to determine whether the process works. Are there unnecessary redundancies or complexity, and how can the process be improved? In this case, the "time-out" process did not clearly indicate that the patient needed to verify the surgery to be performed. Further, the surgical discussions and "time-out" assumed that the patient knew the difference between hysterectomy and hysterectomy with BSO. Using more understandable terms, such as removal of the uterus or tubes and ovaries, may also have led to avoidance of this surgical error.
There has been a great deal of attention given to use of the SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation) approach for communicating important information during handoffs between health care professionals. For example, in the hypothetical case, the nurse handing over care prior to her break should have indicated the patient was being prepared for surgery (S), the surgery was being done for abnormal bleeding and was going to be a laparoscopic hysterectomy with BSO (B), there were no medical problems but she was awaiting arrival of the resident (A), and that the resident needed to complete the consent form and do a history and physical exam (R). If she had done so, the surgery would likely not have been incompletely performed.
SBAR can also be used for nonmedical transfers of information. When giving scheduling instructions to the secretary in the described case, the physician could state she needs to schedule a laparoscopic hysterectomy and BSO (S), a consent form was completed and a detailed note was dictated the day before (B), there appeared to be no major problems in the prior review of the chart (A), and the material being sent to the scheduling desk should include the consent form as well as the note from yesterday (R). This is another step where the error may have been avoided, since the latest office note describes the intended surgery.
Either in the content or implementation phase, develop a checklist for each major step that covers what information needs to be conveyed. At this time, review the overall plan and content with those responsible for each step. This will allow for additional input and suggestions for improving the overall process. This is also a time to gain buy-in from all persons involved, including both support and professional staff, in order to devise a standardized process. Such an approach will reduce variation, be easier for staff and physicians to follow, and result in less chance of error. In general, the process should be developed into a written policy that can be reviewed and also used to train new staff.
It is important to assess from time to time how the process, as well as the checklists, are working. This is particularly true when the process is relatively new. The review should be done in a group to ensure that input is obtained from all those involved in the implementation of the process. The group should review, in particular, where the process did not work well and determine why it did not work. This will allow those involved to suggest changes that will reduce the chance of future problems. This is especially important when processes are complicated and involve multiple handoffs. For example, complicated surgery, such as that performed with a robot, may have multiple handoffs related to equipment, as well as several patient handoffs.
Refining and utilizing a standardized system of handoffs has many benefits, including a reduction in errors, improved attention to important detail, and better teamwork that not only improves patient safety but secondarily improves overall morale of the team.

If you know anything about these fugitives, you can earn up to $1,000 by calling Crime Stoppers at (800) 780-TIPS. All information below courtesy of Crime Stoppers.
Starting off our list this week is Jimmy Lee Frederick, a fugitive with an obvious drug problem - and an arrest record - in both Lee and Collier Counties. Right now, he's wanted in Naples on a bench warrant for possession of a controlled substance. His previous experiences at the jail include arrests for intimidation of a victim, DUI and possession of a synthetic narcotic. He was last known to be living in Naples, but also has connections in Fort Myers who may be harboring him. 30 year old Frederick is 6'0", 165 pounds and sometimes uses the alias of Jimmy Flood. He has a tattoo of praying hands on his right arm, and a skull with flames on his left arm.
Also in Collier County, deputies need your help tracking down Robert Hawkins, who faces jail time for a bench warrant for trafficking in illegal drugs. Now age 62, Hawkins' arrest record dates back to 1968, and since that time, he's amassed a rap sheet filled with crimes including robbery, the possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, burglary, aggravated assault, heroin possession, conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, corruption threats against a public servant, threats on witnesses and numerous other drug related charges. While Hawkins was last known to be living in the Naples area, he has ties to Miami, and could be going back and forth to the east coast. Hawkins may also be operating under the aliases of Robert Clark or Henry Owens.
And trying to keep herself out of jail this Friday the 13th is Laura Morgan, on the run for violating terms of her probation on the heels of an arrest for larceny grand theft. Morgan's only been out of jail for less than a year, after having spent nine months behind bars for a list of theft and probation violations. Morgan's criminal history includes charges of battery, and several narcotics charges, including felony criminal activity while she was still a minor. She's also had multiple arrests for probation violations and bench warrants for failing to appear in court when a judge made it very clear that she was to be in his courtroom. She was last known to be working as a waitress and living in east Lee County. Upon her arrest, Morgan will be held without bond.
And rounding out our list is Dean Trevil, who spent only eight days in jail after allegedly beating a man, nearly non-stop, over the course of two days. Detectives say Trevil, and two associates, brought the victim to a shed, where he was tied up with an extension cord and beaten severely - and repeatedly. The men then brought the victim back home, where they continued the violence. When all was said and done, the victim was left with a broken hand, wrist and ankle, and stab wounds so deep they required staples. Trevil was eventually arrested for the crime, but was released on terms that he'd show back up to court to tell his side of the story. That, of course, never happened and now he has a bench warrant for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and kidnapping while inflicting bodily harm. Trevil also has a criminal track record in Miami, and spent nearly two years in prison for dealing cocaine. Trevil is 6'1" and has tattoos of a naked woman with dollar bills on his left arm.

Nature trippin'June 11, 2008 | Written by Mae on Featured Products, Random Thoughts | No Comments |
It's another beautiful day ahead, and I'm back here at my desk.
Well, I had a great summer and everything was just so peaceful, calm, and not to mention –no work! I backpacked for a week last summer to Bohol, an island located southeast of the central Visayas region in the Philippines.
It was during my second day at the Bohol beach club when I noticed several guests swarming the shorelines –stashing in some sand in plastic bags? Funny as it may seem, really some people do bring in some sand from that beach. The pristine shorelines of Bohol's beaches are lined with tiny seashells and fragments of marine life fossils, unexploited.
That is where these tiny mongo shells usually come from. These exotic beauties are packed with endless design possibilities for any discerning jewelry artist. Its colors are naturally rich in their delicate, small forms. Among the more popular whole shell beads, mongo shells are most loved as strung necklaces with big, bold pendants.
Here's good news! You don't have to scour the shorelines to get hold of these shells. Beads and Pieces carry more varieties of exotic, whole, and beautiful shell beads.

Despite having a low voter turnout, Tuesday's elections will go down in history as California's first primary election using the top-two system for all state races.
Voters across California will head to the polls on Tuesday for the June Primary Election – the first election in the state's history that the top-two system will be used for all races.
Stanislaus County Assessor Don Gaekle, who has been acting as County Assessor since being appointed in October due to an immediate vacancy, announced today that he will be adding his name to the ballot in the June primary election with hopes to serve a full term.
Although Mayor John Lazar has opted to forego a third term as Mayor with his recent announcement to drop out of this year's election, Turlock citizens will still have two candidates to choose from when marking their ballots in November as retired teacher, Ed Brault, 85, joins the race with Turlock farmer Gary Soiseth.
Late Monday evening, Turlock Mayor John Lazar confirmed that he is dropping out of the 2014 election, bringing an end to his 8-year run as Turlock Mayor.
As a third generation family farmer from Turlock, Gary Soiseth will officially kick off his campaign for Mayor of Turlock on Tuesday morning at Latif's Restaurant.
As the City Council considers making changes to the current at-large election system in the City of Turlock, a series of public workshops will be held throughout town next week, offering residents a chance to learn more and ask questions.
For the past eight years, Mayor John Lazar has been dedicated to serving the community of Turlock. With his second term as mayor ending this year, Lazar has decided to seek reelection, hoping to continue his efforts to strengthen the city for another four years.
Amy Bublak has recently announced that she will be running for Stanislaus County Assessor, potentially giving up her seat on the Turlock City Council.

CATEGORIES MoviesWelcome back for another installment from Brady Riann, Moviefone's teenage correspondent. You'll get reviews and insights into the world of film -- from a teenage perspective.
"Every great film should seem new every time you see it"
-Roger Ebert
When I learned that Roger Ebert had died my heart dropped. He truly was the man. It was fun reading his scathing reviews, and gratifying reading his glowing reviews. Not only did Ebert really love movies, but he loved life. And that's why I love Roger Ebert.
The first time I read a Ebert review was when I was 12, for "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." Ebert did not like it, and I remember one of his biggest gripes being with the idiotic comic relief twins. After I read the review I was spent; I had found the guy that I would rely on for what to see -- and it was worth it. He saved me from seeing pieces of garbage and he got me to see great pieces of art. Ebert never spoke so intelligently that it was hard to understand what he was saying. He never made you feel stupid and he genuinely cared about his readers.
Sadly I wasn't around early enough for the days of Siskel and Ebert, but most of the clips are on Youtube and they are simply genius. The words they spoke were easily understood, and the "thumbs up - thumbs down" system was remarkable. I think the greatest clip with Siskel and Ebert involved them debating John Simon over "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back." (WATCH NOW) Mr. Simon (I respect his opinion) did not enjoy the film for its violence and the fact that it was special effects driven. Ebert defended the film and called Simon, "Old at heart." I think many people are old at heart, but Ebert was always young at heart... that's why it was so easy for him to connect with a young audience. He could sympathize with us. He thought the original "Star Wars" was amazing -- what is there not to love?!
(He also considers Richard Donner's "Superman" to be a great film. That was the first movie I had ever seen and it still remains one of my favorites.)
When I had recently gone to Ebert's site, I noticed that he hadn't been doing many of his own reviews. I didn't really understand this. A few days later I read his "Leave of Presence," wherein he said that he would only be reviewing films that he wanted to review. He didn't review many -- he left that to an expert panel of critics, and they have done an exceptional job. Sadly, his last review would be for Terrence Malick's "To the Wonder." He gave the film 3 and a half stars which is very impressive. Based on his review I'll be seeing the movie this weekend. I wish he knew the impact he had on most people's lives, I wish he knew the impact he had on my life. Sadly it's hard knowing who you really matter to, especially when you are America's favorite film nerd.
Roger Ebert could identify with absolutely anybody. Even kids. He was never above loving a film that was possibly "childish" or "fun" but he wasn't about to allow a film that was immensely stupid or pointless. Ebert treated all his readers like they were one of his best friends. And he would never recommend a bad movie to a good friend.
So to you Mr. Ebert, I give a thumbs up.
Get showtimes & tickets to "To The Wonder."

With the summer season fast approaching, many people are either purchasing a new air conditioner or repairing the one they have. Those who have central air conditioning will need a bit of maintenance to make sure it's working at full capacity.
According to the folks at Interstate, a New York City air conditioning and heating company, having routine maintenance on your air conditioner twice a year will save you a lot of money down the road.
Based on the company's statistics, the average household spends more than $2,500 a year on energy bills; $1,100 of that goes to heating and $1,400 goes toward keeping the home cool.
Saving money
A good way to save about $180 a year on air conditioning is to get a programmable thermostat. And changing the coil in your air conditioner will save you good money, too.
"A dirty coil reduces the system's ability to cool your home and causes the system to run longer, increasing your energy costs and shortening the life of your equipment," said the company in a statement. "A dirty coil can raise your bill by 30 percent."
According to Frank Alexander, of Alexander Heating and Air Conditioning in North Carolina, there are certain things you can do to determine if the coil in your air conditioner needs replacing.
The company's website says if a technician tells you that your coil needs replacing, he or she should be able to tell you exactly where the leak is as well. If the technician can't, you should be a little suspicious.
"Freon carries a lubricant and that residue is visible most times below the leak," writes Alexander on the site. "It looks like dark wet spots, like burnt cooking oil. Most of the time this will be visible but it may be impossible to see it. Ask your technician how they determined the leak was in the coil. They should be able to tell you where the leak is."

PLATTSBURGH — Zombie babies, children, men and women moved along Margaret Street as darkness fell Saturday night, taking part in the fourth-annual Zombie Walk and drawing attention to the darker side of the Halloween season.
The ROTA Gallery and SUNY Plattsburgh's Zombie Defense League sponsored the release of the living dead, many of whom topped off the evening at the third-annual Zombie Prom at Angell College Center on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus.
Many participants put in considerable time applying makeup and creating costumes for the event, returning from the "grips of the grave" year after year to take part.

Last Update: December 29, 2013
In 1998 N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was found in a drinking water well in northern California. NDMA was subsequently found elsewhere (including groundwater recharge projects), and also found to be a byproduct of drinking water treatment (see studies). There's more on the NDMA history page.
As a result of these early findings, CDPH (then the Department of Health Services, DHS) established a notification level in 1998 for NDMA.
After NDMA was first found, there were only a few laboratories capable of detecting NDMA at very low concentrations—on the order of just a few nanograms per liter (ng/L), or parts per trillion. Subsequently, US EPA published Method 521 for nitrosamines in drinking water (part of list 2 of unregulated contaminants for which monitoring is required), and established a laboratory approval process. (Click here for more information).
NDMA and other nitrosamines are considered "emerging contaminants." More information about emerging contaminants is here.
The National Toxicology Program's 12th Report on Carcinogens contains background information on the uses, production, and occurrence of a number of nitrosamines. NDMA, for example, has been used in research, in the production of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine for liquid rocket fuel, and in a variety of other industrial uses. It's been reported in foods, beverages, drugs, and tobacco smoke and to be an air and water contaminant.
In 2004, a notification level was established for another nitrosamine, N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), and in 2005, after findings of N-nitroso-n-propylamine (NDPA) and NDMA associated with the evaluation of a disposable resin for drinking water treatment, NDPA was added to the list of chemicals with notification levels (see history).
The release of nitrosamines from some resins that may be used in drinking water treatment suggest a need for continued vigilance, so that a treatment approach to remove one contaminant does not inadvertently introduce another.
NDMA and other nitrosamines can cause cancer in laboratory animals. The NTP identifies a number of them as reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens (NTP, 201), and US EPA classifies a number them as probable human carcinogens (see US EPA's IRIS).
NDMA and other nitrosamines are among the chemicals known to the state to cause cancer [Title 27, California Code of Regulations, Section 27001], pursuant to California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 ("Proposition 65").
Cancer risk levels can be calculated for nitrosamines in drinking water. For example, the concentrations in drinking water that correspond to de minimis cancer risks for some nitrosamines are presented in the following table:
N-Nitrosopiperidine (NPIP)4
1 - Notification levels for NDEA, NDMA, and NDPA are established at 10 ng/L, somewhat above the de minimis level, to take into account the very low detection limits and their potential presence in association with drinking water treatment. 2 - "Response levels" are levels at which CDPH recommends removing the source from service. They correspond to a 10-4 risk, 100 times the de minimis ( 10-6) value.3 - Chemical is on US EPA's List 2 of Unregulated Contaminants Requiring Monitoring.4 - Risk levels for nitrosamines in drinking water can be derived from the 10-5 lifetime cancer risk levels in 27 CCR §25705, which sets forth "no significant risk" levels of carcinogens for purposes of Proposition 65, in terms of daily exposures. From these, de minimis cancer risks (i.e. lifetime cancer risks of 10-6), commonly used by CDPH for notification levels for other carcinogens can be calculated, using an assumed drinking water consumption of two liters per day. 5 - OEHHA's public health goal (PHG) for NDMA is established at the 10-6 risk level.
Given the NDMA detections associated with drinking water sources and treatment, NDMA is a good candidate for future regulation (i.e., establishment of a drinking water standard, also known as a maximum contaminant level or MCL). Thus, the Department requested a PHG from the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). A PHG is the first step in the regulatory process (for more about PHGs, click here). OEHHA (2006) established a 3-ng/L PHG for NDMA.
An MCL for NDMA will likely not be available for several years, so the 10-ng/L notification level will continue to be used to provide information to local governing agencies and consumers.
