Some lawmakers look to make your 4th of July celebration a little bigger. A bill proposed by two Michigan senators would make larger fireworks legal in our state. Right now what's considered legal in Michigan are mostly those that remain on the ground instead of flying into the air.
Some stores say the illegal ones are safer and they want to be able to sell them. It seems the shoppers at the American Eagle Superstore got boxes of fireworks loaded into cars.
James Stajos, Vice President of Operations: "Its smaller items, everything that stays on the ground, basically."
But James Stajos, the Vice President of Operations, wants to be able to sell the bigger, illegal fireworks.
James Stajos: "There's no doubt about it, sales would triple and quadruple."
And Senator Rick Jones is on his side.
Sen. Rick Jones, (R) Grand Ledge: "We don't have things that go bang."
Arguing those things that go bang will bring a boom to Michigan's economy. So you're probably thinking larger fireworks mean more severe injuries, but Senator Jones says he thinks sparklers are more dangerous.
Sen. Rick Jones: "Right now the people that are being hurt and the little children that parents give sparklers to, and they don't watch 'em well enough, and those things really burn."
James Stajos: "It has the same amount of gunpowder as the stuff that stays on the ground. The benefit of it going in the air is it's going off away from people. I believe it'd actually be safer."
And both argue, since people are already buying larger fireworks in other states and bringing them back to Michigan, we might as well embrace it.
Sen. Rick Jones: "The fireworks are here now, there's very little enforcement, and so why not have the tax dollars come in for the schools and for the other needs of Michigan?"
Senator Jones hopes to turn his idea into law by 2012, so next July 4th Michiganders can celebrate their independence alongside their freedom to let it fly.

SELF Diet Club Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
The SELF Diet Club is an older version of the Jumpstart Diet by Self Magazine. Dieters gained free access to tools provided by Self Magazine. The tools included fitness programs and recipes. Many of the same tools were moved to the new Jumpstart program. According to information on the SELF Diet Club website, the club closed down on January 31, 2010. There is a link to the new Jumpstart program on the SELF Diet Club website. The tools included with diet plans on the Self Magazine website are nothing new. Food trackers, fitness trackers and calorie counters are the three main tools.
List of Ingredients
Outdated Self Magazine diet club.
Product Features
The big push for the SELF Diet Club was automated calorie counting. This basically means the dieter has to search for the foods they ate during the day and select them from a list. The SELF Diet Club tool would calculate total caloric intake and break down meals and the entire day into smaller bits of information like total fat grams, total protein grams and total carbohydrate grams. Tools like these are very common on the Internet.
When the SELF Diet Club closed down, the magazine opened the Jumpstart program. Jumpstart supplies more than 70 healthy recipes and fitness programs that burn up to 300 calories in just 15 minutes. Intense exercise is not ideal for all dieters. It is important to review an exercise program with an attending physician before starting the workout to ensure the dieter is healthy enough to complete the workout.
Self Magazine diet programs allow dieters to eat all the foods they love, though portions need to be measured and foods like sugar, alcohol and sweets need to be consumed in strict moderation. All SELF Diet Club plans are free for users and many offer free gifts to participants meeting goals along the way. As is the case with most fitness magazine websites, there is a heavy push to subscribe to the magazine, but all the information the dieter needs to lose weight is available free.
- Free program for weight loss from Self Magazine.
- Allows the dieter to eat foods they want and drink alcohol.
- Fits well into everyday life.
- The SELF Diet Club was closed on January 31, 2010.
- The fitness program was not ideal for all dieters.
- No information on what happened to dieters following the program.
The SELF Diet Club has been officially closed, but Self Magazine offers several other options for dieters who want free access to fitness and dieting information. Many of the programs are published in the Self Magazine, but Jumpstart and SELF Reach Your Goal are available from the official website.

Ashlee Simpson made her red carpet debut with "Boardwalk Empire" star Vincent Piazza on September 14 at an event for the show's season premiere.
Simpson, a 26-year-old actress and singer and Piazza, who plays Lucky Luciano on the HBO series, were also spotted at various fashion shows during New York Fashion Week.
The two sparked relationship rumors in June, when Simpson was photographed with her arm around the actor and were said to be spotted kissing. Simpson split from her husband Pete Wentz earlier this year.
In February, Simpson filed for divorce from Wentz, a 32-year-old member of the rock band Fall Out Boy and the father of 2-year-old son Bronx, their only child. They married in May 2008.
"Ashlee's been my best friend for five years; she's the mother of my child," Wentz said on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM radio show in March. "I have nothing but love and respect for her and going through something like this isn't easy, but we're friends and the most important thing is to put our son first."
Also in March, Wentz filed a petition in court asking for joint legal and physical custody of Mowgli.

Definition: Chard is a type of leafy green vegetable that is common in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Italian. Chard is used in many Italian recipes, such as in pasta dishes, in risotto and on pizza.
Perhaps most commonly referred to as Swiss chard, chard is related to beets, and chard greens look similar to beet greens. But unlike beets, the root of chard is inedible.
Chard is available in many different varieties, some of which are distinguishable by the color of the chard's stems. Chard stems range in color from red to yellow to white. Chard's flavor is comparable to spinach, although this depends on what cooking technique is used.
One of the best ways to prepare chard is to sauté it, although chard can also be cooked by moist-heat cooking methods such as steaming, or dry-heat cooking methods such as grilling or roasting.
See this recipe for Pasta with Swiss Chard and Bacon.
Pronunciation: shard
Also Known As:
- Swiss chard
- Silverbeet
- Spinach beet

"Giving To Charity Can Cause More Harm Than Good"
Spot on: a lot of charity, whether public or private, is designed to make the givers feel better, consequences for the recipients be damned.
The result of these exchanges reminds me of the "Jesus Comes at Christmas" trips our family would take to some of the relatively poor families in our North Jersey suburb. These were quick drop-offs of holiday food baskets that included toys for the kids, but it was hard not to have a bit of a savior mentality as we drove house to house.
In the light of this exchange, we all knew who was playing the part of Jesus. I vividly remember the feeling of disappointment when a young child answered the door and sheepishly accepted our gift basket and closed the door quickly without any of the appreciation that we were all secretly expecting to receive. The problem was that we had no relationship with these families except to play Santa Claus one day a year. Looking back, both families were a bit worse off by the awkward exchange.
Our family left disappointed by the thankless welfare mentality we observed, and any feelings of superiority we harbored at the beginning of the expedition were only reinforced. The receiving family had to endure the humiliation of another unknown do-gooder family showing up at their doorstep on their journey to save the world.

Shuttle Endeavour, With Challenger Legacy, Takes Off
By KENNETH CHANG
Published: August 9, 2007
The space shuttle Endeavour lifted off into humid skies on Wednesday evening, carrying pieces of the International Space Station and a living reminder of the loss of the shuttle Challenger two decades ago.
One of the Endeavour's astronauts, Barbara R. Morgan, was the backup to Christa McAuliffe for the teacher-in-space program in 1986. Ms. Morgan was one of the spectators at the Kennedy Space Center when the Challenger exploded 73 seconds into flight on Jan. 28, 1986, killing Ms. McAuliffe and the other six astronauts.
As the Endeavour passed the 73-second mark on Wednesday night, Rob Nevias, providing commentary from the Johnson Space Center in Houston, said Ms. Morgan was ''racing toward space on the wings of a legacy.''
After the Challenger accident, Ms. Morgan returned to work as an elementary school teacher in Idaho. Later, she decided she wanted to be an astronaut and joined the astronaut corps in 1998.
On this flight, her first, she is not a teacher but a mission specialist. Her primary task will be operating the shuttle's robotic arm while other astronauts are conducting spacewalks.
But she is scheduled to conduct at least one video question-and-answer session with students on the ground. If the mission is extended to 14 days from 11, she will conduct two additional sessions.
Relatives of the Challenger astronauts were invited to the Endeavour launching. Several, including June Scobee Rodgers, widow of the Challenger's commander, Francis R. Scobee, attended.
Sixty of the 114 finalists for the teacher-in-space program watched the Endeavour's launching, including Stephanie Wright, who also watched the final Challenger launching.
That Ms. Morgan is now in space is ''an absolute fantastic dream come true for educators and children across the country,'' Dr. Wright said.
The Endeavour is carrying a 4,000-pound truss segment and other pieces to be installed on the space station. Three spacewalks are planned, with the possibility of a fourth.
The mission is scheduled to last 11 days, but mission managers plan to extend it if a new system that allows the shuttle to plug into the space station's 120-volt power system works as designed.
That would allow the Endeavour, whose electronic systems run on 28 volts, to conserve the power in its fuel cells.
Cmdr. Scott J. Kelly of the Navy is the mission's commander, and the pilot is Lt. Col. Charles O. Hobaugh of the Marines.
In addition to Ms. Morgan, the other crew members are Tracy E. Caldwell, Col. Benjamin A. Drew Jr. of the Air Force, Richard A. Mastracchio, and Dafydd R. Williams of the Canadian Space Agency.
This mission is the Endeavour's 20th, and its first in nearly five years. After it landed on Dec. 7, 2002, it went into a hangar for a major overhaul, one that had already been done on the other shuttles.
The loss of the Columbia in February 2003 extended the Endeavour's stay on the ground. The 194 modifications included a modern ''glass cockpit,'' the system for plugging into the space station, a system for monitoring the three engines during launching, and global positioning system receivers. In addition, 2,045 of Endeavour's heat tiles and blankets were replaced, as were 3,223 ''gap fillers'' between tiles.
''It's like a new space shuttle,'' N. Wayne Hale Jr., the shuttle program manager, said at a news conference on Monday.
The apparently flawless liftoff puts behind, at least for now, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's public relations turmoil of a couple of weeks ago. First, a Congressional committee criticized the agency for losing $94 million of office equipment over 10 years. Then, an internal report reviewing physical and psychological records of astronauts turned up two anecdotes of astronauts showing up for launching drunk, and NASA officials later revealed that electronic equipment destined for the space station had been sabotaged.
NASA is investigating the accusations of alcohol abuse by astronauts. But Michael D. Griffin, the NASA administrator, said at a news conference after the launching, ''I will be extraordinarily surprised if there's anything really there.'' Dr. Griffin said the last 10 years of shuttle and Soyuz launchings had been reviewed, and ''we can't even find where it would be a possibility.''
Commander Kelly also criticized news reports in a letter to some newspapers. ''To imply that my crew or I would ever consider launching on our mission in anything but the best possible condition is utterly ridiculous,'' he wrote.
The damaged electronic equipment, a device that gathers data from strain sensors on the station, was repaired and is being carried aboard the Endeavour to the space station as originally planned.

NY Times Claims Illegals 'Vanishing' in Alabama 'Like the Aftermath of Some Sort of Rapture'
Campbell Robertson cranked the melodrama up to eleven in his New York Times story on Tuesday on the upholding by a federal judge of a tough new immigration law in Alabama: "After Ruling, Hispanics Flee an Alabama Town – Fears Rise Over a Tough Law on Immigrants." Robertson talked of "the vanishing" and dabbled in a little Creative Writing 101: "In certain neighborhoods the streets are uncommonly quiet, like the aftermath of some sort of rapture."
Illegal immigration is prehaps the issue most likely to trigger the paper's liberal bias, and Robertson doesn't disappoint. In his dramatic telling, the flight from the town of Albertville, Ala., was like something out of a science fiction movie:
The vanishing began Wednesday night, the most frightened families packing up their cars as soon as they heard the news.
They left behind mobile homes, sold fully furnished for a thousand dollars or even less. Or they just closed up and, in a gesture of optimism, left the keys with a neighbor. Dogs were fed one last time; if no home could be found, they were simply unleashed.
Two, 5, 10 years of living here, and then gone in a matter of days, to Tennessee, Illinois, Oregon, Florida, Arkansas, Mexico -- who knows? Anywhere but Alabama.
The exodus of Hispanic immigrants began just hours after a federal judge in Birmingham upheld most provisions of the state's far-reaching immigration enforcement law.
For many immigrants, however, waiting seemed just too dangerous. By Monday afternoon, 123 students had withdrawn from the schools in this small town in the northern hills, leaving behind teary and confused classmates. Scores more were absent. Statewide, 1,988 Hispanic students were absent on Friday, about 5 percent of the entire Hispanic population of the school system.
John Weathers, an Albertville businessman who rents and has sold houses to many Hispanic residents, said his occupancy had suddenly dropped by a quarter and might drop further, depending on what happens in the next week. Two people who had paid off their mortgages called him asking if they could sell back their homes, Mr. Weathers said.
Grocery stores and restaurants were noticeably less busy, which in some cases may be just as well, because some employees stopped showing up. In certain neighborhoods the streets are uncommonly quiet, like the aftermath of some sort of rapture.
Not far from the plant, in the Hispanic neighborhoods, it is hard to differentiate the silence of the workday, the silence of abandonment or the silence of paralyzing fear.

Once again, it's OK now to equate 'illegal alien' with Hispanic, it didn't used to be when it wasn't politically beneficial to the leftard Party. I wonder why "2,5, 10 years ago" there was never a story on the 'vanishing' of American jobs or the loss of American life caused by illegal immigration?

We're not even rounding them up and just the IDEA that they might get caught made them run like roaches when the lights come on. Imagine what would happen if we did it in every state.

Submitted by LinTaylor on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 3:24pm.
Why is it that the MSM seems to completely ignore the "illegal" part of the phrase and act like those of us who support immigration reform are all gap-toothed rednecks who want any non-white to get out of our country because (as South Park so eloquently put it) "DEY TUK UR JERBS!!"?
Does this mean that if I walked up to, say, Michael Moore, kicked him in the manbits (what little he has) and took his wallet, the liberals would defend my right to do so as long as I called it an "undocumented loan"?

Another elitist NYT hack who insults people living in "flyover country". Janine Turner was right about people like him. As a liberal, he is one of the most intolerant people on the face of the earth. He holds everybody not from the same elitist background as his in disdain. His bio lists him primarily as a theater reporter. He should stick to that and stop the type of offensive, degenerate insults in his screeds.

Hey Robertson, you left out "illegal" in front of immigrants. They are breaking the law, they are criminals. If you feel so much sympathy for them, why don't you go down to Alabama and invite a few of them to live with you?

An obvious case of criminals

An obvious case of criminals fleeing the scene of the crime. BTW, they're not "immigrants" of any sort; they're invaders.

Decisions have consequences
Submitted by jpwcpa on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 5:13pm.
When you make the decision to enter this country illegally, you must consider the possibility that somewhere down the road it may result in consequences that you may not like. You say you have to pull your kids out of school, quit your (illegally-obtained) job, sell your palatial trailer for a mere pittance, etc, all because of an increased possibility that your success at eluding law enforcement may be coming to an end? Gee, that's too bad. People who enter this country through legal means don't have to worry about such things.

I live in Georgia, where we
Submitted by LinTaylor on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 12:50am.
I live in Georgia, where we DID pass an immigration reform law, and so far the only effect I've seen is Carlos Santana ranting at us during his speech at the Braves' Civil Rights Game (and getting booed for it). As an aside in the face of recent events, Morgan Freeman was getting honored too; however, unlike Santana, he knew that people don't go to baseball games to get lectured by holier-than-thou celebrities and settled for a little self-effacing humor and a simple "thank you".
Also, I spend a lot of time in Alabama because pretty much my entire extended family lives there (I came from there originally but moved to GA really young when Dad got a job with the CDC). So far I haven't really seen any effect with this immigration law. Then again, maybe they disguised their movements in the crowds of UA football fans; even Bin Laden could hide amongst those guys as long as he wore some crimson and/or houndstooth.

I'm trying to see a downside to this. When criminals leave where they're not wanted, that's always a good thing.
There's absolutely no need to deport the 20 million (I don't believe that 12 million figure at all. I live in Texas). Take away their food stamps, jobs and places to live and they'll disappear faster than a hoagie in front of Michael Moore

I have some relatives (inlaws) who live near Albertville, AL and what they tell me is happening doesn't match up with Campbell Robertson's melodrama. Therefore I question the accuracy of the reporting. It seems the extreme picture Robertson paints doesn't resemble the reality at all.
Of course we ARE speaking of a NYT's reporter. A job that requires abilities where creative writing equates fiction.

The Democrats have to rely on those extra voters in 2012, whether they are legal or illegal. THIS IS A TRUE FACT THAT CAN BE AUTHENTICATED. The Republican hardliners are already hoping to derail Rep. Lamar Smiths Mandatory E-Verify, so their special interest lobbyists can still get their fair share of cheap labor. These people are coming here and not just through our shared border with Mexico, but by international flights from across the world. Both political parties have their own agendas, with the Liberal Extremists pushing the Department of In-Justice, trying to block the current Alabama immigration policing laws. More state will follow Arizona, Alabama, Georgia and others, but will be enveloped in lies from the other side and the goal of the Obama leadership in crushing any chance of a states sovereignty being upheld. Americans can aid themselves and the millions of their fellow population, by insuring the passage of the mandatory Legal Workforce Act (H.R. 2885) in the coming Congressional sessions. This will help to combat the millions of foreign workers now illegally co-existing in the workplace and halting for good profit inspired employers from hiring them.
E-Verify signifies a breakthrough in our immigration laws and the only avenue we have is our vote in pressuring Congress in passing H.R. 2885 Bill. Until this happens, no state is safe for the unbound repetitious force of illegal migrants and immigrants straining America's welfare and public expenditure resources. By Looking towards California, a state of American success in just 10 years has fallen, moreover unfairly burdened with millions of illegal alien families. They have bled the legal public treasury of billions of dollars in free services. The children of illegal alien parents and the unrelenting onslaught of sponsored--CHAIN MIGRATION has scored deep gashes in the California safety-net. Welfare benefits for the children of illegal immigrants cost America's largest county in 2010 more than $600 million last year. It is officially claimed the "total cost for illegal immigrants to the Pacific state taxpayers" was more than $1.6 billion in 2010.
Oh! With the Alabama law in full swing, where are the—ECONOMIC—illegal immigrants going? California, Nevada and any unrestrictive states, where illegal nationals can raid the welfare systems.
Be vigilant of those who confess to be in the true TEA PARTY leadership, as we have been conned before by both sides of the aisle. Making the wrong decision when we vote in 2012, could as well replace Obama with another far right Republican, who are favored by the open border delegations who pour money into their campaigns. We should be nervous of Perry, and the apportionment of money heading in his direction, as he will be capable of swamping the TV channels with unequaled rhetoric. My limited funds will go towards Herman Cain, who is my contender in the race and has a strong plan for our country, including his ambitious D- in relating to his standing opinion, that no illegal alien should be offered amnesty. Romney, Bachmann have also are considered to have excellent records, to finally stop the devastating effect of people from foreign countries pouring into America. The rest of the candidates have poor to abysmal records, while they have been public servants of the people. Much study of the illegal immigration occupation has been accomplished by NumbersUSA, where you can also observe for yourself the outcome.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform has studied these kinds of expenditure nationwide to get an idea of the financial load to local governments, especially at a time when many are grappling with budget deficits. The FAIR organization reported that the cost of illegal immigration stands at about $113 billion a year. Nearly half of that total went toward education costs, according to the study. The outlay was naturally higher in states with large illegal immigrant populations -- in California; the total yearly expenditure was pegged at $21.8 billion. This is a repeat performance and is still spiraling upwards uncontrollably, more so since the Democratic State House and Senate have the overwhelming power in Sacramento. All these dollar figures are verifiable through the offices of Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich. Nevada has major illegal alien problems as well, so unless you live in a isolated bubble—your own state has been hit hard as well?
What we spend in court- enforced contributions from our payroll checks is a sad unresolved situation, where illegal immigration is concerned. Having to repeat the same tired mantra of how much is being extorted from all of us, tends to become exhausting; with no relief in sight. Perhaps by looking to leaders of the--ALL AMERICAN-TEA PARTY, of all legal persons, we can expect a different result and cure this phenomenon. That is scattering throughout the industrialized nations of the world. As a country, we must draw a line and say no more economic aliens, who are heavily attributing to the United States poverty. Our economic viability is fading away, so we should only accept winning immigrants of the highly skilled variety, not the poor that we must support with our dwindling dollars.
Don't expect your neighbor or a friend, to find a few minutes to call the political sock puppets in Washington, as you must contact them yourself. Unless we pull together--nothing will ever be accomplished in this fiery issue, as the laws up to this point been ignored for twenty five years. President Obama for a time showed promise with a million or more deportations, but suddenly there was an ominous influence that changed his direction. Unfortunately, the law is not being followed and thousands who came here illegally, but do not carry any criminal blot on their background other than trespassing in our lands, are likely be released. Most countries, not even Mexico allow illegal entry into the country, without being tracked and perceptively be facing a felony wrap. There will be no light at the end of the tunnel, unless we make an effort to pitch the certainty of Legal Workforce Act (H.R. 2885).
There is an unsympathetic attack on E-Verify House bill, that must be overcome by insisting that the Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH); House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA); House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) ; House Chairman of Ways & Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI); & Members of the Ways & Means Committee. You can insist political action on your part, if you are frustrated with the indifference to the people. Call them today as this bill is ready for a reading and must not be tabled. The Washington switchboard at 202-224-3121, will transfer you to any of these lawmakers.

Shiwanda Bonds endured 18 years of physical abuse before she was shot multiple times outside her mother's house as she left for work in March.
She was shot in her liver and pancreas but managed to drive away as her estranged boyfriend continued to fire.
"I was basically trying to take myself to the hospital," Bonds recalled.
As she sped away, a Metro police officer saw her and pulled her over near Rosa Parks Boulevard and Charlotte Pike.
"When the police came to the car he said, 'Ma'am you okay?' I said, 'No, sir I have been shot and I don't think I am going to live,'" she recalled.
But Bonds did live. Her estranged boyfriend, Kelvin Pickett, is charged with 11 crimes in connection with attacks on her from January 2012 to March 2012, when police said he shot her.
Each time he was arrested he was able to post bond and be released.
The last time he posted bond was March 6. Bonds was shot on March 13.
"I would go to night court and say, 'What are you all going to do? Wait for this man to kill me?' I would tell them y'all need to get him," she said. "I said y'all keep letting this man out and I don't understand."
She continued, "Every time he gets out he does something to me."
Bonds broke off her 18-year relationship with Pickett in November 2011. Prior to that she said she endured physical and emotional abuse.
"I would be scared to say something," she said. "I would be thinking 'Oh I may say this wrong' or I was scared to do something wrong basically."
Bonds decided to speak out about her relationship and the shooting that almost killed her to raise awareness about domestic violence.
October is domestic violence awareness month. Tennessee ranks third in the nation for women killed by men, according to the Violence Policy Center.
Last year the organization ranked Tennessee fifth in the nation.
"Sometimes when you love someone, love is blind and it is hard to get out of," she said.
Bonds is still recovering from her injuries, but has returned to work. Her family is still also recovering from the emotional scars the relationship and shooting have caused.
"My mom still dreams about it and my baby girl still thinks she sees him weekly," she said. "For me I really don't sleep. I wake up every couple of hours and if I hear a noise I have to get up and walk around."
Pickett remains in the Metro Nashville jail without bond.
Bonds said Pickett continues to contact her by sending a letter from jail and trying to get her to accept collect calls from him.
Further charges are possible against Pickett because Bonds reported the contact to authorities.

Ted Smith lifted his silver bugle to his mouth at 9:03 a.m. Tuesday, the exact time United flight 175 flew into the South Tower of the World Trade Center 11 years ago.
The student body at gathered outside to hear Smith, of Mclean, play Taps in the cool, fall-like morning.
Smith first played at Haycock Elementary School at 8:46 a.m., the precise time when American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan.
At 9:40 a.m., he planned to play the song at "in honor of all the military and civilians killed as American Flight 77 struck the Pentagon." And finally at 10:06 a.m., Smith will play Taps for the last time at the McLean Volunteer Fire Station to mark the time when United Flight 93 crashed into a field in Shanksville, PA.
This is the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.
At the conclusion of the playing of Taps, four commuter planes slowly traveled high above the school. Three of them left behind long, white streams across the clear blue sky.

Fears over gun control laws have many people running to the local gun shops. They're stocking up on guns and ammunition.
At Van's Deer Processing in Brandon, store employees are having a hard time keeping the shelves stocked. Manager Todd Sarotte says he's ordering ammunition every day as oppose to once or twice a week.
The same thing is going on at the Bass Pro Shops in Pearl. General Manager Patrick Renegar also says it's tough keeping up with the high demand.

Without the gift of his transplanted kidney earlier this year, Sean Immonen could have easily died at the age of 29.It's fair to say his three-year wait for an organ, which included a week's worth of intensive care, traumatized both his body and his mind."If someone comes up to you and tells you, you are dying, I think that's when you truly start living," Immonen said of his close call.The fact that Immonen can look forward now to so much "living" illustrates the reasoning behind the substantial rule changes which govern the distribution of organs. In an effort to save more total years of life, the United Network for Organ Sharing plans to prioritize 20 percent of donated kidneys for those recipients with the longest life expectancy, a rule change which favors the youngest patients.If and when the guidelines take effect, decisions would no longer be exclusively based on waiting list position and eminent medical need. "I fully agree that I would have gotten a transplant a lot sooner. I would not have waited for three plus years. I would not have had to be on so many medications and go through so many roller coaster rides of waiting for an organ," Immonen said of the proposed changes.Transplant specialist Dr. Osama Gaber at Houston's Methodist Hospital believes the proposed guidelines are beneficial because they will better match recipients with age appropriate donated organs."Today, you could take a 55-year-old and give to an 18-year-old which I think is unreasonable, because there are 18-year-old kidneys that go to 65-year-olds. It's not that we are not going to transplant the 65-year-olds. We are just going to give him a kidney that's 55 or 65, plus or minus 10 years, which I think is quite appropriate," Gaber said.

Special consideration
The University's assessment practices are designed to ensure that conditions are fair to all students, as consistent as possible and that individual students are not disadvantaged by adverse personal circumstances beyond their control or by the activities of other students.
Generally, serious illness or misadventure will be taken into account when considering a student's academic performance in a course or units of study. However, there is clear distinction between longstanding illness or difficulties which prevent students from attending classes and/or completing required work and short-term serious illness or misadventure that may prevent a well-prepared student from sitting for an examination or completing a particular assignment.
In the event of non-attendance due to ill-health or misadventure, a request for special consideration may be lodged as soon as practicable and certainly within five working days from the end of the period for which consideration is sought.
Procedure for lodging a Special Consideration application
School of Business and School of Law
To lodge a special consideration in Summer and Winter Schools a student must:
- complete a Special Consideration form;
- attach relevant evidentiary documentation - Professional Practitioners Certificate;
- present all documentation to the Summer and Winter Schools office for receipting and logging;
- lodge original documents at the relevant department or faculty office (e.g. Business Students lodge their form at their Student Information Office; Law Students submit forms to the Undergraduate Team at Law)
The faculty will notify students of their academic judgment in due course.
Important: A request for special consideration may not automatically result in a supplementary examination, and will be determined by your Faculty.
Full Faculty policy on Special Consideration applications made by Business students can be found here:

Download the University of Sydney Special Consideration form
Faculty of Science
Students taking Faculty of Science units over summer should submit all Special Consideration applications and medical documents direct to The Summer School Office to handle on behalf of Science. Note this only applies to Science students at summer session who can email their forms to the Summer School Office:
Download the University of Sydney Special Consideration form
All other faculties
Applications for Special Consideration must be made as soon as possible and within five working days of the due date of the assessment. Where circumstances prevent this, a student may still apply but must provide a reasonable case for the delay in submitting their application.
Only illness or misadventure during the session or occurring at the time of an examination will warrant Special Consideration for academic performance. The academic judgement as to whether Special Consideration will be granted will depend upon both the nature of the illness or misadventure and its timing with respect to the assessment.
All applications for Special Consideration must be made on the University's Special Consideration form. The completed form must be submitted to your unit of study coordinator (not the Faculty Office). In addition to that you should send a scanned copy of the form or an email advising that you have submitted a form to your unit of study coordinator to the Summer School Office:

Drug agents say prescription drug abuse is a growing crime and health problem.
South Georgians turned in 48 pounds of unneeded pills at a drop off event Saturday at the Albany Civic Center. South Georgians turned in thousands of pills, everything from over the counter pills to heavy narcotic pain killers. Drug agents say that's good news they will never endanger anyone again.
This is a large portion of the estimated 48,000 pills turned in at the pill drop Saturday. 48 pounds of pills. Every color, shape, and size imaginable. People also dropped off more than 30 pounds of liquid medicine. Drug agents called the pill drop a great success, judging by not only the number of pills dropped off, but also the number of people knowing it's smart to get the dangerous pills out of their homes safely.
15:58:32 Albany Dougherty Drug Unit Commander Major Bill Berry said "Not only that there's a problem with the expired medicine. But because they are a danger to anybody that doesn't know what they are. Kids in the home. Kids visiting. Grand kids visiting. Then also, if you drop them in the toiler they get into the system and the systems are not designed to purify those elements out of it."
Now these drugs also will never end up being sold on the streets. Drug agents say they see prescription pill addiction and sales in almost every one of their cases.
Berry said "They may be getting, selling just marijuana, but they have some pills with them. Maybe it's the coke or crack, but they have pills with them. It seems like every time we do a drug deal or search warrant or arrest, there are pain pills involved."
Drug agents say one of the most dangerous practices they see involving prescription pills are called "Skittles Parties." Where people just put a number of pills in a bowl and take them randomly. Drug agents are glad to know these pills will not be endangering anyone.
And what do the drug agents do with all those pills and medicines? The liquids are absorbed in cat litter, and with the pills they are put in an incinerator and burned. That was done this afternoon.
Keep Albany Dougherty Beautiful officials also had a drop off for electronics Saturday, and officials say they packed a tractor trailer truck three quarters full with devices, that will now be recycled.

text: Finally our Lady Boilers basketball team has put together two good halves of basketball at Minnesota. So far the month of February has been one to just get past. Losses at home to Michigan and Iowa were bad but any loss to this year's IU team was a real head scratcher. Well, we fans can get caught up in hyperbole and think a whole season is lost on one game or stretch of games. However, the game announcers for the Minnesota game reminded us that Purdue had a bad stretch late in the Big Ten last season, only to put together 3 awesome performances to win the Big Ten Tournament. Hey, it could happen again that way this year. Although there are more good teams in the conference this year than most. Courtney Moses got back in the scoring groove in a big way and our whole team really executed and shot the ball well at Minnesota. That is not an easy place to play and their team is very good. Dee Dee did another fine job of defense following Rachel Banham all over the place. Our defense, especially in the second half, was what we have come to expect from a Purdue basketball team. After two home losses, we just need two home wins to finish the season and we would be going into the Big Ten Tournament on a roll again this year. We need to work hard to get our seeding in the NCAA tournament to a higher level. 20-7 is still a very good record and this team has shown that while they have inexplicable lapses on both sides of the ball, they also have a lot of team resillience to come back from adversity and play fantastic basketball. Chantel Poston should be able to up her contributions and our team has been keeping the turnovers to a manageable level. Yes our team can tend to live dangerously but also have shown a lot of poise down the stretch in games and this should bode well for the two remaining conference games on into tournament time.

Happy Valentine's Day!
This Valentine's Day my friends and I decided to have a girls-only tea party at a favorite New York City lolita haunt – Alice's Teacup. Alice's Teacup is restaurant themed entirely with Alice in Wonderland, fairies, glitter, and tea. And I mean tea – every food item on the menu, from cocktails to desserts and sandwiches – are made or infused with tea flavors. We had hot scones and drank black tea flavored with strawberry, raspberry, and roses!
Below are a few photos from the event! Pictured: myself, Crystal, Bii, Dalin, and Lauren. There were nine of us total (and many more pictures) but I don't want to photo overload!
Also, finally a photo of my new iPhone in its pink Hello Kitty case!
After all my planning to wear a conversation-heart-and-unicorn coordinate, my new dress didn't come in time! So at the last minute I had to improvise a little! Trying really hard to get better outfit shots since everyone has been asking for them!
I'm really pleased with my new wig. Crystal and I are both wearing Gothic Lolita Wigs, which really makes soft and beautiful, affordable lolita wigs. I was feeling too lazy to trim the bangs the evening before, so I styled the bangs into a vintage ice-cream swirl with some gel and a lot of hairspray!
This color was very unique and the style is very wearable as there's no heavy ponytail clips. I'll probably wear this wig with Aqua Princess as well for a mermaid look as well!
I also tried some new makeup tutorials, mostly mashing a few eye makeup tutorials together for a very big-eye, super-lashy eye. I was going for the downturned puppy-dog look but I think it needs a little more work. I'm actually wearing two sets of lashes in these photos!
I hope you all have a very lovely Valentine's Day! I spent today packing up a pretty Valentine's care-package for my lovely Ellejay – so much pink tissue paper and glitter under my nails! I hope she loves it ❤

The tea party looks so pretty, I wish we had shops like this where I live >_<

Comedian, satirist and author ("How To be Black") Baratunde Thurston has just publicly come out with a statement responding to The Onion's stupid and offensive tweet about Quvenzhane Wallis during last night's Oscar boroadcast.
His response was anticipated since Thurston, until last year, worked at The Onion as a writer and as their Director of Digital.
The question is, do you buy what he says, or is he, pardon my French, trying to cover his ass?
Here's his statement completely unedited:
I missed the Oscars last night, and so I missed the live tweeting, and so I missed The Onion's tweet about Quvenzhané Wallis (just use google if you don't know what i'm talking about). I've been flooded with questions about what they were thinking and why didn't I stop it, and "SERIOUSLY BARATUNDE YOU ARE BLACK HOLLA AT YOUR BOYS WTF!!??"
First, I haven't worked there since May so don't KNOW anything about this incident from an insider perspective. I'm not a spokesperson. I'm not an advocate or defender. I'm not their official black friend. I'm just writing this as ME though I'm clearly in a position to have some perspective since I tweet hard and used to do so with/at The Onion and do/love comedy and satire and also amazing child actors.
Second, I think I understand the underlying target of the joke: The Onion largely satirizes media and the general public. Everyone fawning over a clearly lovely and innocent little girl presents an opportunity to go the opposite direction with something contrasting and clearly false. It was also a take on tabloid media extremism. (I'm remembering the headline about the media's struggles in covering Obama's double homicide) but it was an extremely high risk move and missed that target by WIDE margin. Limited upside. HORRIBLE downside.
It wasn't necessary and was loaded with horrible language. In the context of what I've read about Seth McFarlane's jokes, I feel especially bad for Wallis and her family who won't "get" or care what the comedic idea was and only know that some comedy news organization called their little girl a disgusting, sexist name. It just comes across as mean. Intention does matter, and based on my time there, I'm sure the intent was not, "Hey let's call this little girl a cunt. Ha. Ha." However, RECEPTION and context matter as well, and this utterly failed in that regard.
I'm glad The Onion removed the tweet (which BTW for that outlet is a massive massive decision).
Also FYI, this is not some new practice of "Baratunde Tries To Explain Place He No Longer Works At," and due to time constraints and other priorities, I'm unlikely to get into back and forth commentary beyond this post for now. I don't like explaining jokes. I don't like overly deconstructing art in general or The Onion in particular, but this was an extraordinary situation, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts and try to address the scores of questions people have been asking me.
Also, I believe the children are the future.

Hiring Comedy Writers | May 8, 2013 4:20 AM
An irreverent, politically incorrect online magazine for men needs comedy writers. Adult style humor, rants about being a guy, workout tips, and just bullshit.
If your writing is so funny, it would make us shit someone else s pants, drop us an emizzle.
Pay is $50 per article 500-700 word article (negotiable). An excellent income opportunity for the right person. A high volume, long-term job.
Have you ever seen a fat chick with mace on her keyring and think..."come on, sweety...lets not flatter ourselves."
Jo | March 2, 2013 1:16 AM
Oh, yes, Baratunde, because satire is an acceptible excuse for picking on a child! Your little " I believe the children are the future" statement is irrelevent, random, and doesn't hide your slave mentality. You're a ridiculous black male who has been brainwashed deeply into white supremacy. You suck, and I pity you.
Rashida | March 1, 2013 8:24 AM
I reread what Baratunde Thurston wrote twice just to make sure I was comprehending what I was reading. Seriously, what is wrong with you? Not even one statement to support the innocence of a young, black girl. I guess your allegiance to the onion is worth more. Unbelievable.
Lynn | February 27, 2013 4:33 PM
Oh my! Get real, everyone. The statement was not called for, no.
However, it seems EVERYONE has forgotten one very important thing.
That statement was 99% ABOUT GEORGE CLOONEY. 1% about the young girl. The statement, is in fact, TRUE since they were pointing out that GEORGE dates EXTREMELY YOUNG LADIES
o | February 26, 2013 7:40 PM
Come on now we know black people never have each others back, "too busy being jealous of each other", his response was exactly what I thought it would be. He still has to work you know, "with the white man".
Santana | February 26, 2013 10:34 AM
@sagevalentine you forgot to add Amandla Stenberb from the Hunger Games movie. She received plenty of not so nice comments from closeted racists? This seems to be a new pattern.
sagevalentine | February 26, 2013 2:06 AM
First Gabby Douglass...now Quvenzhane.....smdh.
It is not okay to make fun of a 9 year old girl...period.
Quvenzhane Wallis is a brilliant little lady who has quite a career ahead of her. If not acting then she will become a dentist. Whoever, it was who wrote the tweet should be ashamed of themselves. The fact that this black history month makes this comment even more annoying. It is bad enough that the media butchered her name and used it as punch line. Not cool.
As for the Oscar voter who claimed that Quvenzhane would not recieve an Oscar because of her name....whatever. If you can learn how to pronounce Gruffudd(Gri-fith), Wasikowska(Vasicowska),Weiss (Vice),Joaquin and Fiennes (fines) then, you can pronounce Quvenzhane.
This is why I did not watch the Oscars for more than a half hour. I turned the channel to watch The Walking Dead instead.

"Second, I think I understand the underlying target of the joke: The Onion largely satirizes media and the general public. Everyone fawning over a clearly lovely and innocent little girl presents an opportunity to go the opposite direction with something contrasting and clearly false". <<<Due to responses like this and "freedom of speech" we are currently at a time where people can say ANYTHING about ANYONE, and it's really sad.
"In the context of what I've read about Seth McFarlane's jokes, I feel especially bad for Wallis and her family who won't "get" or care what the comedic idea was and only know that some comedy news organization called their little girl a disgusting, sexist name. It just comes across as mean."<<< Not only did he give his former employer a pass, he also insults Miss Walli's ENTIRE family by saying that they won't "get" the joke. Really?!!! He better hope noone ever calls his future daughters anything derogatory.
"Intention does matter, and based on my time there, I'm sure the intent was not, "Hey let's call this little girl a cunt. Ha. Ha." However, RECEPTION and context matter as well, and this utterly failed in that regard".<<< This is another problem. How does he know the intention of the tweeter? As he stated above, he no longer works there, so how does he purport to know the mind/intentions of the individual who sent the tweet? Is he psychic? Why is he defending an anonymous person? He ultimately blames the audience for not "receiving" the message properly in his opinion as opposed to calling out The Onion for the offensive tweet. He then makes sure to let everyone know that he won't be going back and forth on the issue, so that he won't have to have genuine dialogue about this topic. He would have been better staying silent on this issue.
BluTopaz | February 25, 2013 9:25 PM
What kind of diseased mind even associates a child with that word, and has the nerve to publicize it? I really appreciate Wendell Pierce's reaction to this, and wish I could say I'm surprised by these "liberal" neanderthals but I'm not. Someone mentioned if this was said about Suri Cruise the entire Onion staff would be unemployed today. Yes that's because of her father, but that brings up classism in addition to everything else---a little girl who does not have a Hollywood pedigree should not be up for fair game by some deviant looking for a cheap laugh.
Getthesenets brought up a good point about Twitter rules, I don't know them either but at the least the Onion CEO should be ashamed enough to fire that loser, and contact Ms. Wallis' parents to offer a personal apology--never mind simply posting one on the Internet.
Tim | February 25, 2013 8:19 PM
I knew people would jump on BT because he isn't frothing at the mouth, leading a mob to storm the offices of The Onion. I'm glad the brother had a level headed response.
getthesenets | February 25, 2013 5:50 PM
I made the comment about Seth's jokes at Oscars being in poor taste (with aCHILD in the front row) before I knew about ths story.
just poor taste.
Grown man or woman tweeting this flith about kid is just some loser shit. Even if your brain works like that were you would THINK of saying something like that, don't you have a conscience?
F these hipster low life racist pedo MFers.
and is there a law on the books that covers this type of incident?
at the very least, I would think this violates some kind of twitter rule ( i don't twitter, so I don't know)
Zaidi | February 25, 2013 5:35 PM
What's to "get?" Your shameful and fawning defense of Onion and pitiful explanation for their ascribing such a vile, pornographic word upon the innocence of a little girl shows that you are also part of the problem.
Sharon | February 25, 2013 5:20 PM
The Onion has changed.... For the worse. Period. What was said was not a joke. It has no comedic value, as many I wish I was a commedian, commedians who think they are funny. BTW I don't think a former writer has to answer for or cover his A$$ I don't get that logic. Let's just bring someone black up front and smooth this over. Well, that didn't work for me. Get a brain and write something that makes sense.
Vichus | February 25, 2013 5:02 PM
Um, what would he be"covering his ass" about? He had nothing to do with this, at all.
I think his statement was well put, and I would basically say the same thing.
The wording of what The Onion said was just meant for an incendary response. You cannot use the word cunt in the direction of a female, black, innocent child and not expect ears to perk up, and buttons to get pushed. It's sexually charged, and them people then bring a racial aspect to it. That plane not only crashed, but it was then hit with a nuclear bomb.
If they said something different, something to the effect of "Quvenzhane's the worst person ever" or something else absurd like that, just in a PG way, no one would be talking about The Onion today.
Akimbo | February 25, 2013 4:53 PM
I think that's a perfect response. Whoever wrote the tweet was targeting how beloved Quevenzhane is and didn't factor in any racial implications or how ugly that word is. I don't think there was ill intent, but it came off terribly and never should have happened in the first place.
Rocko | February 25, 2013 4:52 PM
What would he be covering his ass about?
getthesenets | February 25, 2013 4:51 PM
Baratunde Thurston???????
WTF,,,did Gilligan's island boat shipwreck in Nigeria and the rich guy married local woman?
F the onion and whoever wrote the bullshit? Just name the person who WROTE the tweet..have him or her publicly apologize...and leave it at that.....the more BT acts like he's not the tap dancing Black friend.....the more he sounds EXACTLY like that guy.
if you have to explain a "joke"..it's not any parts of funny..
lowlife stuff masquerading as "jokes" has been a problem for pop culture for years now...stuff that would only be said in private "roasts" ..is now standard humor
blue humor is easy to do...being a lowlife is easy also.
August | February 25, 2013 4:47 PM
He doesn't work there anymore and he hasn't worked there for a long while now. It is not his responsibility to address something he had no input on. I agree withe this statement and if I were him, I would not have a desire to do PR for company I don't work for anymore

The recent approach of the government towards the Shahbagh movement that emerged as a 'Social Movement' causes concern in the people regarding the likely decline of this movement. The article will elaborate whether the movement is in a declining stage or not, based on a theoretical framework.
Basically, social movements have four stages, as mentioned by Jonathan Christiansen which include emergence, mass popularity, formalisation and decline. The people who are in between the political party and interest groups having a clearly identified opponent construct a social movement towards a goal. The participants of the social movement are linked by informal networks and share a collective identity. It enters the second stage when mass people come to join the movement and make it more organised and strategic in its outlook.
The continuation of the movement through arranging several programmes gives it a formal look which increases the political power of the participants than the previous stage to have regular access to political elites.
Finally the last stage of the movement indicates the decline of the movement through success or failure or co-optation by the target groups against whom the movement is directed or repression by the government.
In this context the Shahbagh movement has been started by some bloggers and online activists who got connected by a facebook event demanding capital punishment of Abdul Quader Mollah and others convicted of crimes against humanity during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. Later, the movement spread to other parts of Bangladesh. It reached the second stage very quickly within few days when peoples from various levels came to join and express solidarity with the movement. Consequently it became a people's movement and has come to be known as 'Gonojagoron Mancha.' The movement became formalised within five days when a five-member delegation of Bloggers and Online Activist Network submitted a memorandum to Jatiya Sangsad Speaker Abdul Hamid on February 10 to press home their six-point demand. Since then the 'Gonojagoron Mancha' continues to call several programmes including three minutes of silence, candle lighting, cultural programmes and so on.
Now the symptom says that the movement is on the way to reach the fourth stage. The 'double standard' response of the government has made the situation look like this. The prime minister expressed her opinion to stop the movement at the meeting of the Central Executive Committee of the Awami League on Sunday, April 1, 2013 (Prothom Alo, April 2, 2013). On the other hand Abdur Razzak, Minister for food and disaster management said in a talk show in the Independent Television on April 2 that the government is willing to continue its support strategically toward the continuation of the movement and he also said that nothing was uttered against the movement during their meeting! If so then why has not the government released any press note to make it clear that no discussion was held regarding the 'Gonojagorn Mancha' during the said meeting?
So it seems that either the government will accept their six-point demands and take necessary steps to fulfil it including banning of Jamaat politics which will make the movement a success, or the government will use measures (sometimes violent) to control or stifle the movement. It can be envisaged by the attitude of the government that it will choose the latter probably, as it seems that the government is not prepared to ban Jamaat politics right now. So the movement can decline through repression by the government as there is no possibility to end the movement through co-optation. Because co-optation can occur if the leaders are motivated by authorities or target groups to redirect their activities and the Shahbagh movement is neither highly dependent on centralised authority nor on a charismatic leader.
Though it is not the right moment to pick the exit point of the movement as the spokesperson of the movement have said that they will not go back until their demands are met. So its better to say that the movement exists in between repression and success (see figure). Because one of the demands has already been met by the amendment of law through which the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973, now allows the government to appeal against any verdict of the Tribunals. International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) law has now also empowered the Tribunals to try and punish any organisations, including Jamaat-e-Islami, for committing crimes during the Liberation War.
The greatest achievement of this movement is that, through this upraising the people of this country, especially the young generation has got the chance to revisit the proud history of the country with renewed spirit.

The world is a crazy place. Would you ever think that a old queen from England would end up mentoring a hardcore, white rapper from Detroit? Stranger things have happened. Like some retarded judge not letting Elton John adopt a child, but I digress.
Elton John says he has been helping American rapper Eminen fight drug problems for more than a year. John says Eminem is succeeding in his well-publicized battle against substance abuse.
John told BBC Radio Saturday that as a recovered drug abuser he is happy to help people if they want the assistance but drugs make people so cocky and arrogant that they often reject help.
I have a feeling that Em probably didn't want this information made public, but you know how old queens love to gossip.

ANDERSON — Ryan Grigson crossed his top offseason priority off the list Tuesday as the Indianapolis Colts spent the first day of NFL free agency largely retaining their own talent.
Cornerback Vontae Davis received the biggest deal — reportedly for four years and $39 million — after prolonged negotiations stretched into the start of the open market.
"Free agency is crazy," Davis said, summing up the day's events as well as anyone. "My agent kept me up to date. I had no doubt in my mind that the Colts (would) sign me back."
The team also reached a new two-year deal with kicker Adam Vinatieri and agreed to one-year contracts with special teams ace Sergio Brown and veteran running back Ahmad Bradshaw.
Vinatieri's deal was the first announced, and it would take him through an even 10 years with Indianapolis. He also played for 10 seasons at the start of his career in New England and had little desire to change teams again.
"It's always interesting and/or fun to have other teams calling and seeing who wants you, where they want you and all the different situations," Vinatieri said. "But at the end of the day, they were all very, very distant competitors in this. Like I said to my wife, 'As long as the Colts want me around and we can get it done, I want to stay.'"
The lone addition was former Baltimore Ravens defender Arthur Jones — a versatile lineman who can play both inside and out — who signed a five-year deal reportedly worth $33 million.
Jones started 20 games in four seasons with the Ravens, recording 118 tackles and 8.5 sacks. He made 13 starts in 2013 with 53 tackles and four sacks. In Indianapolis he'll be reunited with head coach Chuck Pagano — who served as his defensive coordinator in 2011 — and defensive end Cory Redding — who played for Baltimore in 2010 and 2011.

Hospital must cut its £10million temps bill
3:50pm Wednesday 8th January 2014 in News
SOUTHEND Hospital must slash its anticipated £10million spend on agency workers which could pay for up to 400 new nurses, a union says.
Hospital bosses warned costs for locum doctors and agency nurses could reach £9.79million by the end of the financial year.
The news has been criticised by the health union Unison, a GP and patients, but the hospital insists it is doing all it can to recruit new staff.
Sam Older, regional representative for Unison, said: "Agency workers are there to fill the gap, but clearly this level of gap is too big.
"The hospital needs to work out where the gaps are, and we believe its mainly in doctor roles, as they command the biggest rates, and must recruit to fill them with permanent staff.
"The £10million figure would equate to 300 or 400 nurses. These are enormous sums of money being handed over for locum doctors.
The situation can't continue.
"Cutbacks from Government to save money are actually costing more as hospitals are filling posts with expensive agency cover.
"The patients will see a difference. If someone is a regular at a hospital they want to see a familiar face."
The hospital has set up a vacancy panel to recruit staff, created an overseas recruitment plan for nurses and started a European recruitment drive for doctors.
However, Dr Krishna Chaturvedi, a Westcliff GP, added: "Agency and locums are not only expensive, but clinical gaps and clinical efficency is greatly affected, which concerns our patients and us the most."

Last August, the South Suburban Conference honored Richards' Jeff Kortz at a banquet for being named the conference's girls basketball Coach of the Year.
There was just one problem: Kortz didn't show.
The longtime Richards coach is not one for attention or self-congratulation. Therefore, Richards Athletic Director Ken Styler stood in Kortz's place at the banquet.
Kortz may be unusually humble, but considering his accomplishments, he has no reason to be.
Richards' Most Valuable Coach
Winning has come in bunches for Kortz over the last two years. He is Richards' head varsity girls basketball coach and is an assistant coach for the varsity football and baseball teams. With Kortz patrolling the sidelines, these three teams have combined to win six straight conference championships.
"All of the wins have a lot to do with the kids," Kortz says. "The kids have to go out there and produce when the lights are on, and our kids have done a great job over the years. And it also helps having good coaches around you."
Richards baseball head coach Brian Wujcik says Kortz is Richards' "MVC"—Most Valuable Coach.
Kortz was a baseball player at Richards before he headed down south to play baseball for the University of Mississippi and longtime major leaguer Don Kessinger—a former Cubs shortstop—who coached at Ole Miss. After graduating from Ole Miss in 1992, Kortz came back to Richards to coach.
He started coaching baseball in 1994. In 2001, he became the girls basketball head coach and started coaching football as well. He also has helped out with the boys basketball program.
Old-School Mentality
While Kortz may be averse to receiving attention for his success, he's not shy when it comes to asking a lot from his players. He describes his coaching style as "old school."
"I want you on time, I want you to play hard, and I want you to do what you're supposed to do," Kortz said, adding that he holds his players to their word.
Richards seniors Brianna LeBeau and Hannah Jenkins, who have played for Kortz for three years on the girls basketball team, acknowledge that Kortz demands hard work from his players.
"He's really intense sometimes," LeBeau says. "He doesn't like to lose, and he just wants us to play our best game and be serious."
"I think he's passionate about the game," Jenkins adds. "And he wants us to be passionate about the game too, and he wants us to go out there and play how we know we can."
Kortz says that while he does have an old-school approach, he makes it a point to never embarrass anybody. Recent Richards baseball shortstop Joe Lyons describes Korz's demeanor as calm, but with one catch.
"He's really calm, but he's really sarcastic," Lyons says. "When he's sarcastic, that's when you know you should just shut up because you're wrong. I learned that."
Another way Kortz has been successful is by always being accessible to his players. According to Lyons, if any athlete wants to work on any aspect of his or her game, Kortz will be there to help.
"If you want to work on something, he'll come out here and work with you for one hour or two hours, every day if you wanted to," Lyons says.
Deflecting Praise
When asked about his successes over the last two seasons, Kortz deflects the praise to others.
"The kids are hard-working kids," he says. "They come from families that are hard-working."
He also praises the coaches who have influenced him over the years.
"Playing for so many years, coaching with so many guys, you get so many different perspectives," Kortz says.
He heaps plenty of praises on his colleagues at Richards.
"The coaches I'm with, they're great people," Kortz says. "I could call—I would say every coach that I'm associated with—I could call them at any part of the day and say, 'Look, I'm in trouble, I need this.' I'm pretty sure they're going to be right there next to me, just like I would be for them."
But no matter how much Kortz likes to pass credit to others, plenty of it always finds its way back to him.
"He's very committed, and he's very student-oriented," Styler says. "We're just glad he's with us, and we hope he continues coaching for a long time."
