When the Jets took Dee Milliner, I, like many, was confused and frustrated. When the Jets took Sheldon Richardson, I wondered why they didn't take Star Lotulelei or Sharrif Floyd. I sat on my couch staring at my TV with my head in my face thinking, "They really did screw this up didn't they?"
Soon though, I had a vision, a glorious vision that would explain the Jet's reasoning to not take a pass rusher or an offensive player. A New York Jets defense running a 4-3. With a more important need at CB due to less linebackers playing in coverage, would you be comfortable having Kyle Wilson on his own out there? I wouldn't, but having a top 5 prospect out there? Yeah, I'm perfectly fine with that.
With the 13th, the obvious pick may have been Star Lotulelei or Sharrif Floyd.The problem with selecting Star Lotulelei, though, was that he doesn't fit a 3-4 scheme. What about Sharrif Floyd? While the universal consensus is that he is the more talented prospect isn't it kinda scary that he has fallen so far? Richardson is also extremely explosive off the snap and is great at pursuing the quarterback. His run defense is average right now, but with good coaching from Karl Dunbar, Richardson should pan out to be a formidable defensive-tackle. In addition, with how Muhammed Wilkerson and Quinton Coples have performed so far, I'm not concerned about any defensive-lineman the Jets take.
Converting to a 4-3 would make the need to pursue a OLB much less important. The Jets can now run a linebacker corp with David Harris playing middle linebacker, Demario Davis at strong-side linebacker, and Antwan Barnes at weak-side linebacker. These positions fit perfectly with each players strengths as David Harris can be the great run-stopper he is, Demario Davis can be a threat to stop the run in addition to providing speed from the outside, and Antwan Barnes can be the pass-rushing specialist he was two years ago when he recorded 11 sacks last year.
While it would have been nice to have picked up an offensive player, who would the Jets take? Tavon Austin was taken a pick earlier, leaving the only offensive players worth considering at number 13 being Chance Warmack and Tyler Eiffert. I believe that it was agreed that number 13 was way too high to take Tyler Eiffert and I'm not even going to cover why a guard may have been too early. In the end, the later rounds have a lot of talented offensive players that the Jets can take including Zach Ertz, Larry Warford, Gavin Escobar, etc.. The point is, the Jets didn't need to reach for an offensive player in the first round, and now the Jets can enter next season with an elite defense and possibly a young and talented offense.

Charlie Steggall into regional final of TeenStar contest
1:50pm Saturday 10th May 2014 in Winchester
WINCHESTER'S Charlie Steggall, 12, is now just one step away from reaching the finals of a national
singing competition to find the music stars of tomorrow.
Charlie, from Fulflood, was chosen at the regional final of the TeenStar competition in Reading to progress to the penultimate stage of the contest. Singing in front of a live crowd, he impressed with his version of the Bruno Mars hit, Grenade.
He' is going head to head today with acts from as far afield as Sussex and Cornwall in one of five area
finals across the country.
At stake is the chance to perform in the national final at the NEC in Birmingham in July — and
prize money of £5,000.
Charlie, a pupil at the Westgate School, is aiming to follow in the footsteps of X Factor finalist, Luke Friend, who won last year's TeenStar competition.
"It's great to have got this far and I'd love to make it to the final," said Charlie, son of sports broadcaster, Andy Steggall and ITV Meridian's social affairs correspondent, Christine Alsford.
"I know the competition will be really tough, but I will give it my best shot."
Eight thousand hopefuls enter the competition in a variety of age groups. Tickets for the Southern Area Final at Ferneham Hall, Fareham, at 12.15pm on May 10 are £10.

Based on the league leader statistics on NBA.com, we have the following rankings. Notice that Batum is only 2nd to OJ Mayo who is shooting at an astounding 60%, while our very own Damian Lillard is tied for 3rd most 3pt shots made. Wesley Matthews is 7th as well. However, we can see that Lillard and Matthews have great percentages, both of them over 40% while Batum holds an average number with 36%.
What does this mean ? Should Batum be more selective with his attempts ? Does this emphasis the fact that we need Aldridge in the paint to collect missed shots ?

Lirik Lagu Westlife - I Do Lyrics
I can't sleep
everything I ever knew
is a lie without you
I can't breathe
when my heart is broke in two
there's no beat, without you
You're not gone, but you're not here
instead that's the way it seems tonight
If we could try to end these wars
I know that we can make it right
Cause baby...
I don't wanna fight no more
I forgot what we were fighting for
& this loneliness that's in my heart
wont let me be apart from you
I don't want to have to try
Girl to live without you in my life
so I'm hoping we can start tonight
cause I don't wanna fight
How can I live
When everything that I adore
And everything I'm living for
Girl it's in you
I can't dream
Sleepless nights have got me bad
The only dream I ever had
Is being with you
I know that we can make it right
It's gonna take a little time
Lets not leave ourselves with no way out
Lets not cross that line
Remember that I made a vow that I would
never let you go
I mean it then I mean it now and I
want to tell you so
Chorus x2
it's a lie without you
Without you

Hailey Scheinman, 8, and her twin sister, Livy, are best friends.
"I think she's the best person in the world," Hailey said. "I like her smile. She smiles some of the biggest smiles I've ever seen."
Hailey loves watching movies and cuddling with her sister. But Livy can't articulate her favorite things about her sister the same way Hailey can. Livy has epilepsy and cerebral palsy. She's wheelchair bound and can't talk.
"Epilepsy causes seizures which makes people shake a little bit in the arms," Hailey said. "You never know when you'll have a seizure. Livy tends to shake and sometimes her arms but mostly her chin."
Even though Hailey and her sister can't communicate traditionally, it's easy to see they have a bond. Hailey constantly hugs her sister. Livy can't speak words but she makes sounds.
"Twins have a special bond anyway," their father Jon Scheinman said. "But because Hailey is the way she is, and Livy is the way she is, they just have a great bond. They feel pain the same way. They get hiccups at the same time."
Jon believes his daughter knows what the family is doing for her. The Scheinmans created Livy's Hope to educate the community on epilepsy and raise money for research. Their most recent project is Lemonade For Livy Day on July 27.
Livy's mom, Allison Scheinman, says lemonade is a great way to bring kids together in a fun environment.
"It's very inviting and kids are really special," Scheinman said. "They're the first ones that will say 'what's she in a wheel chair for?' Kids don't feel that boundary. They want to know more. With the lemonade they can walk away with something sweet and educational."
Hailey might be the most excited of all.
"We want to get them inspired," Hailey said. "I think she's perfect. She's taught me to be inspiring and to have empathy."
Lemonade For Livy is Saturday July 27 at the Safety Harbor Montessori Academy on McMullen Booth Road in Clearwater from 12 to 3 p.m.

On this date in 1949, American musical icon Hank Williams made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry at the age of 25. It was the beginning of a very difficult relationship.
Even though things soured, Williams' Opry debut was a career-defining moment. The singer/songwriter wowed the crowd so much, he was called back for six encores (the encores ultimately had to be halted so the rest of the show could go on).
Williams' reputation for heavy drinking put off the Opry initially, but as his star continued to rise — boosted by the success of "Lovesick Blues" (recorded at the Herzog studio here in CIncinnati) — the Country music institution finally relented and invited him to perform.
Williams continued to make Opry appearances over the next three years, but he was banished in 1952 for his alcohol-related issues. Hank died just a few months later, in January of 1953 at the age of 29.
Over the past eight or so years, Hank Williams' grandson, Hank III, and other supporters have participated in a campaign to have Williams posthumously reinstated to the Grand Ole Opry. CityBeat also lent a hand, promoting the "Reinstate Hank" campaign during a tribute presented by the Cincinnati USA Music Heritage Foundation in honor of Hank's historic recording sessions in Cincinnati (Herzog studios was located where CityBeat and the CMHF headquarters now reside). Check a clip below.
The reinstatement campaign has yet to work and seems to have lost some steam. But click here to learn more about the attempts to right such a ridiculous wrong.
Born This Day: Musical movers and shakers sharing a June 11 birthday include the least hirsute (ironically!) member of ZZ Top, drummer Frank Beard (1949); Soft Rock god with Air Supply, Graham Russell (1950); guitarist/singer of Southern Rock group .38 Special, Donnie Van Zandt (1952); Flaming Lips drummer-turned-guitarist Steven Drozd (1969); and Heartless Bastards singer/guitarist Erika Wennerstrom (1977).
Though she and her band are currently based in Austin, Tex., Wennerstrom grew up in Dayton before relocating to Cincinnati. As Wennerstrom has grown, matured, changed and become more confident, so has her band's music. After releasing her first two albums, Wennerstrom headed to Texas and retooled the band, adding two different musicians also from our area — Jesse Ebaugh and Dave Colvin — who joined Wennerstrom in Austin. Since then, the Bastards' albums The Mountain (a more earthy, less balls-out effort) and this year's Arrow (a great combination of everything the band does well) have continued the trend of each successive HB album drawing the group higher praise and more fans.
A happy 35th b-day to Erika. We miss you here in Cincy. Below, check out an interview and acoustic session recorded for American Songwriter.
Like every Friday, a great place to start your evening is Fountain Square, as the free MidPoint Indie Summer concert series continues with headliner Lydia Loveless. Loveless is an Ohio native who performed fairly regularly in the Cincinnati area (and elsewhere around the region) before she caught the attention of AltCountry/Modern Roots music institution Bloodshot Records with her natural blend of classic Country influences and more contemporary Rock flavors. Her debut for the label, Indestructible Machine was released last year and Loveless was one of the more buzzed-about names at last year's MidPoint Music Festival (even making the cover of CityBeat the week of the event. Loveless is currently working on new material.
Read more about Lydia from this week's CityBeat here, as well as from last year's MidPoint issue here.
Northern Ohio Roots/Blues artist Patrick Sweany and Cincinnati rockers The Ready Stance (check out our recent interview here) warm things up for Loveless starting at 7 p.m.
• Christopher Dexter Greenspan — better known as Bay Area Electronic artist oOoOO — brings his spectral beats and melodies to Northside's Mayday tonight for a 9 p.m. show with guests Fogger and Skeleton Hands. Admission is $12.
Greenspan's hypnotic, slanted mix of Chillwave and ethereal Trip Hop — at times sounding a little like Icelandic electronic act múm or a ghostly, gauzy version of M83 — was most recently showcased on oOoOO's second EP, Our Loving Is Hurting Us, which includes spacey vocals from singer Butterclock (as well as Greenspan's own voice, which delivers melodies slathered in a glaze of effects).
Here's the new EP track "Break Yr Heart."
• Former local musician GD Mills once again brings his raucous Minneapolis Garage Punk group Fuck Knights back to his former stomping grounds, performing a free show tonight at MOTR Pub with Muddy Udders, Children of the Emerald Fire and Martin Luther and the Kings. Showtime is 10 p.m.

When the phrase "guitar hero" gets tossed around, it's naturally in reference to some of the greatest six string figures in Rock history. But if there is a subset of that hallowed group — guitar heroes in waiting, as it were — then Natalie Wells surely deserves to be included on that hopefully short waitlist.
The Independence, Ky., native is quickly becoming one of the Greater Cincinnati area's most powerful live forces with a guitar presence that stands shoulder to shoulder with some of the giants of Rock. A teenage student of the Blues, Wells felt an affinity for first generation masters like Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt and next gen '60s acolytes like Johnny Winter, Big Brother's Sam Andrews and James Gurley, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher and a host of others. Wells' brilliance in her own guitar pursuits has been in her supernatural ability to absorb a rainbow of Blues and Rock influences and translate them through her own unique interpretive gifts. As she showed on her largely original debut, Mind the Gap, she may have learned from the greats but she's much more interested in running the guitar flag a little farther up Rock & Roll Hill.
On her new mini-album, Live from Earth, Wells and her chugging rhythm section (bassist Curt Hall and drummer/vocalist Michael Hodges) offer up an all-cover set that simultaneously proves how much she loves her influences and demonstrates her translational power.
Live From Earth's seven tracks represent just four factions of Wells' estimable influences and they're more than tangentially connected; Buddy Guy is one of the primary links between the old acoustic and new electric school of Blues, while Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower represent those who most effectively reimagined the Blues in a Rock context. Wells injects swinging new life into Led Zep chestnuts "Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid" and "What Is and What Should Never Be" while distilling Hendrix's complex chemistry to a simpler but still impressive formula with her takes on "Stone Free/Third Stone From the Sun" and his avowed classic "Voodoo Chile."
Wells finds the heart of Guy's gentle "My Love is Real" and the soul of Trower's blistering "Day of the Eagle," all delivered with her fluidly original guitar stylings and a voice that is part husky Blues shouter, part Cher Pop powerhouse. Wells may still has a few minor vocal timing issues to fine tune, but Live on Earth is solid evidence that her guitar chops are cooked to perfection and ready to serve to a wider audience.
At this point, Natalie Wells' guitar does not gently weep; it cries a bucket of tears, screams with passionate abandon, howls like a steroid-amped wolf and demands to be heard.
On this day in 1989, Pepsi dropped Madonna as a spokesperson after complaints about her "blasphemous" video for the single (also used in the Pepsi commercial campaign) "Like A Prayer." The Vatican condemned the video for its imagery of burning crosses and Madonna kissing a black man, while religious groups called for a boycott of all Pepsi-affiliated products. The soft drink manufacturer caved and cut and run from the Pop princess. But Pepsi gave Madonna a nice parting gift — the company was so eager to get away from the controversy that they let her keep her $5 million (yes, million) advance.
Thirty years earlier, another music-related controversy erupted in the U.K. when the BBC decided that The Coasters' song "Charlie Brown" was not fit for airplay. Was it that the Peanuts comic strip was too controversial? Peppermint Patty's sexuality has always been a topic of debate. Were they afraid the youth of England would all mimic Charlie Brown's sparse curly-Q hairdo, essentially killing off the hair-care product industry? Was Pigpen's personal hygiene deficiency deemed a bad influence?
Nope — the BBC was worried about the song because it contained the word "spitball" and they were fearful kids all over would be inspired to destroy society with saliva-drenched missiles. Unlike Pepsi, the Beeb reversed its decision a couple of weeks later, apparently realizing how ridiculous the "ban" was.
Here are clips relating to both controversies. Watch at your own risk!
Detroit producers/Electro musicians Ryan Spencer and Adam Pressley formed its new project Jamaican Queens last year, following the demise of their previous band, Prussia. The pair bonded over a mutual love for Hip Hop production, something that would find itself central to Jamaican Queens winding sound. Together less than a year, the twosome's single "Kids Get Away" introduced the newcomers with a sound that blends EDM, Hip Hop sounds and rhythms and a somewhat psychedelic brand of Indie Pop.
The band calls its music "Trap Pop," a reference to the Trap style of Hip Hop that is something of a successor to the old Southern Crunk style. Still, you won't mistake Jamaican Queens' music for T.I.'s — JQ's unpredictable, fluttering style recalls MGMT's last two albums had the Electronic aspects of their music been more prominent.
Jamaican Queens' first full-length, Wormfood, is due in February and was mixed by Christopher Lazlo Koltay, a former Cincinnati musician who has been enjoying a successful engineering/production career in Detroit the past several years, working with artists like The Dirtbombs and Akron/Family. Here's the song that has garnered the band the most attention so far, "Kids Get Away."
If you were hoping to walk up and buy tickets to check out tonight's show at the Taft Theatre featuring the Grammy-winning Tedeschi Trucks Band, skip the box office and "walk up" to a scalper because the Taft just sent out a press release announcing the show as a sell out. (Read what our Brian Baker had to say about the group here.)
If you do have tickets to tonight's 8 p.m. show (doors open at 7 p.m.), be sure to arrive on time to catch opener Shannon Whitworth (pictured). After a self-made Americana debut, the singer/songwriter's career began in earnest in 2009 when she went into the studio with producer Neilson Hubbard (who has worked with a slew of singer/songwriters, including Glen Philips, Garrison Starr and his pal Matthew Ryan). The two emerged with Water Bound, a lovely, eclectic album that touched on Blues, Jazz, Roots music and Rock.
Whitworth has a new album due this year in which she collaborates with Band of Horses' bassist Bill Reynolds (who has done behind the scenes work for The Avett Bros. and Lissie), so the evolution of Ms. Whitworth should be interesting to continue to watch.
Here's a clip of Whitworth performing live:
• Jazz trumpeter Scott Belck performs tonight at the Blue Wisp. Belck is the Director of Jazz Studies at University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music, where he succeeded retiring longtime department head Rick Van Matre a couple of years ago. Read our interview from last year with Belck here. For tonight's 7:30 performance at the Blue Wisp, Belck is joined by locals Rusty Holloway, Phil DeGreg and Jim Leslie. Admission is $5.
• The 2012 Tunes & Blooms music series at the Cincinnati Zoo concludes tonight with a 6 p.m. concert featuring Folk Rock crew The Turkeys and Americana ensemble Jake Speed & the Freddies. Admission is free but it costs $8 to park in a zoo lot. It might rain. Bring a hat.
Here's a clip from a documentary about late local outsider artist Raymond Thunder-Sky featuring Speed's song, "Raymond Thunder-Sky," especially audible towards the end. Looks and sounds like a great project.

Music Tonight: The Mad Hatter in Covington this evening hosts a full lineup showcasing the new breed of "Power Pop" — young bands evolving from so-called "Pop Punk," embracing classic Pop/Rock songwriting and developing a sound that is potentially more timeless. Georgian band Cartel headlines, as they gear up for a new EP release (due next month) that will serve as the band's first since 2009's hook-feast, Cycles, which showed clear progress in songwriting and execution. Tonight's Mad Hatter show (the kick-off date on the band's brief Midwestern tour) begins at 6 p.m. and tickets are $15. The Upset Victory, Action Item, Don't Wait Up, 21st Streamline and The Getaway warm things up.
Music Tonight: Increasingly popular Pop singer/songwriter Andy Grammer plays Oakley's 20th Century Theatre with guests Rachel Platten and Ryan Star (don't get your TV music contests mixed up — it's Ryan Star from Rock Star: Supernova, not Ryan Starr from American Idol). Last year was a breakthrough one for Grammer, whose single "Keep Your Head Up" from his self-titled album notched Gold sales numbers (and is likely to be certified Platinum). One of the crop of easy-breezy-groovin' Pop/Rock/Soul acts (think: Jason Mraz or Maroon 5), Grammer's current tour is his first headlining venture, after tours with Taylor Swift, Colbie Caillat and Plain White T's. So far, so good — most of the shows have been sell-outs, including tonight's show at the 20th Century. Radio has taken kindly to the singer's recent single, "Fine By Me." Grammer's debut LP got a big push early on thanks to the entertaining music video for "Keep Your Head Up," featuring Rainn Wilson from The Office (see below), which won an MTV O Award. If you have tickets (or plan on finding ones from scalpers), showtime is 7:30 p.m. for tonight's all-ages show.
Saturday night at Northside's Mayday is the debut of the Cincy Psych Fest, a multi-band event inspired by the popular Austin Psych Fest, a six-year-old event that showcases the current state of Psychedelic/Garage Rock and Pop, led by artists like The Black Angels, The Warlocks and Dead Meadow.
The Cincy Psych Fest is the brain child of Laura Dolan, Laura Skaggs and creative local commercial arts enterprise We Have Become Vikings. The team has assembled a great first-year lineup of national, regional and local acts inspired by the sounds of '60s Psychedelia and Garage. The fest will present bands on Mayday's indoor stage as well as on an outdoor, second-floor stage. Tickets are $10 (advanced ones are available through ticketfly.com here) and the fest begins at 6 p.m.
Here are some samples from the various artists. Click the band name for more info on each.
The People's Temple (Lansing, Mich.)
Mondo Drag (Davenport, Iowa)
Outer Minds (Chicago)
Heaven's Gateway Drugs (Ft. Wayne, Ind.)
Sisters of Your Sunshine Vapor (Detroit)
Here are the Cincinnati bands on the bill:
The Harlequins
Ohio Knife
Cincy newcomers Children of The Emerald Fire (featuring fest organizer Laura Dolan and an all-star local music crew featuring former members of Pernicious Knifs, The High & Low and many other local groups) are also performing, as is The Tongue & Lips:
Adding to the trip will be DJ Blythe Shadburn and Doctor Robert's Ocular Odyssey's Psychedelic Light Show.
Find info on all of the performers and more at cincypsychfest.com.
The Van's Warped Tour might not be the most financially successful summer package tour of all time (the promoter and performers work together to keep an ego-free environment and low ticket prices), but it's hard to argue that it is not the most successful overall, especially in terms of longevity. Now in its 18th year, Kevin Lyman's eclectic traveling festival has outlived all of the roving music events that sprouted up around the same time (from Lollapalooza to Lilith Fair) by creating a "customer friendly" experience that's also very "artist friendly."
The tour's 2012 finale is this weekend in Portland, but before shutting things down for the summer, the fest makes its annual stop at Cincinnati's Riverbend today. Doors open at 11 a.m. and music kicks off shortly after. The show ends around 9 p.m. Tickets at the box office will cost ya $42 (about a dime a band, by my estimation).
Click here for more local show details, including info on how you can "Skip the Line" and walk right into the venue.
The set-times for each act are decided just prior to the gates opening; if you're going, look for the giant inflatable Warped logoed amp to see when your favorites are playing. I also highly recommend grabbing the official Warped Tour app.
Be sure to support our local music scene reps — The Few The Fallen, Heres To The Heroes and Let It Happen will play the Ernie Ball Stage. Check out Let It Happen's recent video for "Bridges" from the great release, It Hurts, But It's Worth It.

Commenting system
This is not just a problem with The Verge. I've noticed it elsewhere all over the internet where threaded comments/sub comments are used.
Typically the first reply will have a series of other replies below it and even sub replies below them, not because they relate to the first reply, but because people want their comment seen and not somewhere 300 comments down the page where they probably won't get read because people have gotten bored and checked out by then.
Some websites use collapsable sub comments. Clicking a link to expand or collapse. This is not a bad way of doing it but it can further push the original comments down the page if those sub comments get really long. The goal is to balance the system so that sub comments are just as much work to read as scrolling down to the bottom to read original comments. That way comment hijacking will be lessened.
I'm wondering if there is a better solution.
One thing came to mind. Go horizontal. Like a page based system where a right arrow appears on a comment if there are sub comments for it. Click that arrow to go to the next comment which replaces the original in place but has a slightly different background color so you know it isn't the original but a sub comment. The sub comment would also have arrows for paging left and right and a link(perhaps a box in the middle of the arrows) that would take you back to the original comment.
This would look less cluttered and it would make less sense for someone to post a sub comment to an original comment unless it was specifically about that original comment. It's not just going to appear at the top for everyone to see so there is no reason to try and hijack that comment thread.
Another idea is to involve randomized comments. Where different comments, no matter what time they were posted, would randomly appear in different orders. A comment that was posted later on and was originally comment number 326 might appear as number 1 at the top of the comment list upon a page refresh. With the sub comments being paged inside the same box 9as explained above) this makes this idea even more possible.
Of course you should always still have the option to view the comment list according to oldest to newest, but by default randomize would be set. This further takes away the desire to game the system and adds exposure to comments that may be great but didn't come till later on.
Of course with a system like this, comments need to have permalinks both for the original comment and the sub comments inside of them. That way you can open your comment in a new tab and come back later to see if anyone has replied to it. Especaily if the original comments are randomized on a main comment list. Otherwise that would be a headache.
Another sort option next to Randomize and Oldest to Newest could be My Comments, which generates a list of all your comments so that you can quickly see the replies/recommends because the list in your profile when clicked only takes you to the comment list as a whole you still have to search through it to find your comments.
This is just an idea. What are your thoughts on it?

The Paradise Syndrome, TOS 3
I know I should rate this episode lower, but I just can't. I know I should hate an episode which balances on the unlikely premise that the magic code that opens the secret door just happens to be the same phonetic sounds one would make if one were saying "Enterprise – this is Kirk!" Yes – that is a farce, but. . .but. . .let's look at the good elements of this episode. For starters: I Am Kirok!! Kirk gets a bump on his head and lets himself get talked into believing he is a Native American God! And then he falls in love and even impregnates a woman. (She dies and the child dies in utero, so we don't have to worry about them monkeying about in next week's episode — have no fear!) I distinctly remember seeing this episode as a kid, but falling asleep midway. So I never knew how Kirk was going to get off that planet before the killer asteroid did. Little did I know the writers had no idea either.

WOONSOCKET — The Zoning Board of Review on Monday heard testimony on a proposed redevelopment of the former St. Francis House assisted living residence into 18 residential apartments and scheduled a decision on the matter for its next meeting on July 23.
The property's owner, city developer and business owner Gary Fernandes, is seeking to increase an earlier plan for 8 residential units in the five-level distinctive 167 Blackstone Street brick building through conversion of more of the building's available space, according to the proposal's architect, Dan Peloquin.
WOONSOCKET — The natural question for Navigant Credit Union Post 85 coach Jim Gauthier after his squad eked out a 3-1 verdict over the North Providence Post 29 Senators on Tuesday night was this:
Is it possible for a pitcher to be inconsistent, yet still toss a two-hitter?
"We were just talking about that," Gauthier grinned, referencing the post-Post 85 meeting on the Renaud Field mound. "He didn't have his best stuff, but he kept battling."
Marcel R. Hetu
WOONSOCKET- Marcel R. Hetu 80, of 547 Clinton St. died Monday at Oakland Grove Health Care Center. He was the husband of the late Lucille (Lambert) Hetu.

Marcel was a Machinist for EG & G Sealol Co. for over fifteen years. He was an Army Veteran of the Korean War and served in the Third Infantry Division from 1952-1954. Marcel was an avid Yankees fan.
WOONSOCKET -- A body was found floating in the South Main Street dam of the Blackstone River, in downtown Woonsocket, late this morning.
Using a rubber raft, police and firefighters pulled the body off the edge of the flood control gate at around noon.
The body appeared to be that of a black adult male. He was wearing a black T-shirt, what appeared to be swimming trunks or shorts that were black with a red and grey stripe across the waistline. He also had on a pair of black high-top sneakers.
PAWTUCKET — Sunday marked the first time Bob Montgomery saw Ryan Lavarnway up close and in person. Studying the Pawtucket Red Sox catcher from the television booth in the press box located high above McCoy Stadium, Montgomery made good use of the monitor adjacent to him, particularly when tracking Lavarnway's mitt motion as he received the ball from the pitcher.
WOONSOCKET — Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island has mailed 198,000 letters to customers in the Greater Woonsocket area notifying them that the insurance company may no longer do business with Landmark Medical Center and the Rehab Hospital of Rhode Island as of Aug. 1 and Sept. 1, respectively.
That means BCBSRI's members could still receive treatment at those hospitals, but they would be responsible for dealing directly with Blue Cross for claims reimbursement and paying the hospital out of their own pocket.
Robert M. Andrew
BELLINGHAM- Robert M. Andrew, 81, of Bellingham, MA passed away on Sunday, July 8, 2012 at Rhode Island Hospital, Providence, RI. He was the beloved husband for 46 years of Patricia B. (Bottomley) Andrew.

This week I'm going to write short articles/rants recapping what I think about 4 things
1. The Pro Bowl
2. The no-call in Arizona
3. The Donovan McNabb situation
4. Can't remember right now.
The Pro Bowl: it's a good thing. Yes, I suppose that it's a magnet for injuries and that supposedly nobobdy cares about it, but I still want it. Why? Because I love NFL football. I'm addicted to it. I want as much of it as I can. I think that a few boatloads of people are the same way I am. Look what I'm doing right now. I'm typing on my computer wishing that there was a game on. Look at what you're doing. You're on your computer desperately looking for news about football, desperately waiting for the next time your team plays. Considering that we're a fanbase that anxiously awaits the intrasquad scrimmage each August (and sells it out every year) we can't really dump on the Pro Bowl. When I hear or read people saying that the Pro Bowl doesn't matter, (which is all the ****ing time) I think one of two things: a. They're trying to sound smart, i.e. they're being uppity. b. They're making an excuse for a player who isn't attending. Yes the Pro Bowl is an injury risk. Do you know what else is an injury risk? Weightlifting, OTAs, practices, scrimmages, preseason games, playoff games, and oh yeah, the other sixteen games of the year. The Pro Bowl is for us, the fans, to give us another game of football. Every time I hear about a player dropping out because they don't FEEL like it, it screams to me that the player doesn't really care about the fans. Also, Bryant McKinnie definately doesn't care about the fans (Bryant McKinnie isn't afraid to skip practices, gotta admire him for that). Also, of course, the Pro Bowl is an honor and players should be honored to be selected. For those of you that think that they should just announce who made it, I suppose that would retain the sanctity of the thing but I have two problems with that: 1. I don't really feel like someone's an all-star until I see them play in an all-star game (in any sport) and 2. They pretty much already do that with the All-Pro team and nobody gives a flying **** about who's on the All-Pro team. One thing that I will also say is that I think that Aaron starting in the Pro Bowl is pretty important to him, the team and us as a fanbase. And I would especially encourage Packer fans to tune in because of the attitude that McCarthy and Rodgers have-they prepare for everything and take every game seriously. I say this because under McCarthy we went out and won the last game of the season each year of his tenure even though in all four cases it either couldn't affect playoff positioning or we were eliminated from contention, we blow teams out in preseason games and you better believe that he had that 2007 Pro Bowl team ready. I think that it's part of the reason that we generally don't get a blown out or lay eggs against bad teams. But anyways, we know that Rodgers will be out there giving his all and that should be more of an incentive for any Packer fan to watch. If you don't watch the Pro Bowl tonight, then you won't be watching football, and what's worse than that???

What a good scary movie. I have got to say that this is a good one. There wasn't a bunch of gore or pop up scare scenes, it was a story..and a good one.
So the actual story is from the Warrens. The Warrens are the original ghost hunters, only it's not always ghosts. Yes this story touches on exorcisim..you know the fight between the God, the devil and your soul. It was a legitamite story, which is what makes it a great movie. I was not disappointed with this one and there some fun times afterwards too. Some fun quote are "I'm going back to church", "I don't know about you but I did the sign of the cross", and at just the right moment during the movie "sike" and it all struts again. It was good to laugh and share moments.
As for some rentals, and of course we are going to keep the theme: Legend of Boggy Creek, a documentary type film Arachnophobia, I don't care who you are ... you will scream like a little girl when the spiders start taking over. And finally, the original Halloween.. suspense at its best.
Well I hope you enjoy the Conjuring. It was also great meeting and visiting with y'all! Take care and see y'all at the movies.

After a tense week of diplomacy between American and Iranian representatives, Iran has called off a deployment of warships to the Atlantic Ocean, the semi-official Fars news agency said on Sunday, shelving plans for its vessels to approach US maritime borders in response to the US navy's presence in the Gulf.
The announcement comes shortly after Iran overturned the death sentence of a former US marine imprisoned in Iran on charges of working for the CIA. The American, Amir Hekmati, has had his sentence reduced to 10 years in prison by a supreme court decision. The commuted sentence is a positive signal for US-Iranian relations, but an ongoing debate over Iran's nominated diplomat to the UN threatens to derail nuclear negotiations. The diplomat, Hamid Aboutalebi, is barred entry to the US due to alleged links to the 1979 hostage crisis, but Tehran has refused to consider a new candidate.

Russia will Return to Naval Base in Vietnam
Moscow, Nov 14 (Prensa Latina) The Navy of Russia will place a maintenance base in the Vietnamese port of Camran, in accordance with the stipulated agreements during President Vladimir Putin"s recent visit to that Asian country, reported the local press today. In addition to the approved contracts on military collaboration with Vietnamese leaders, the head of the Kremlin reached a tentative agreement to install those facilities in Camran in 2014, informed Nezavisimaya Gazeta newspaper.

Marine units positioned near Syria
Marines in the Middle East, Africa and Europe are poised to reach Syria within hours should President Obama order a strike on the country as officials work to determine whether the government there was involved in a chemical weapons attack against its own people.

5 New Countries That Might Exist By 2025
With violence in Xinjiang continuing and tensions in Chechnya and Dagestan back in the public consciousness, it seems almost cliché to say the end of the sprawling, imperial nation-state is here, or at least not far off. Hell, a couple thousand signatures for an independent Texas got the foreign press questioning if even the U.S. wasn't immune from secessionist conflict.
Now, have the massive, multi-ethnic superpowers of the modern world really reached their breaking point? The answer's a big, emphatic no. While there's certainly no shortage of secessionist claims in Russia, China, and the surrounding geopolitical region they dabble in, it's unlikely we'll see any new (internationally recognized) countries emerge from the Caucuses or Central Asia. A major precedent — any one secessionist success story — could set off new fervor in any number of independence-minded areas that could radically undermine the neighborhood superpowers' international standing. For the leaders of Russia and China, maintaining their borders against secessionist challenges is an essential part of maintaining their political legitimacy. Sorry, Tibet. Continue reading
From Sea to Shining Sea
Eighteen miles. That's the width of the Bab el-Mandab passageway, the narrow stretch of ocean separating Djibouti from Yemen that connects the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea. In strategic terms, this passage is crucial. Control the Bab el-Mandab passage and you control the eastern half of one of the most important shipping lanes in the world.
That is exactly what Iran is looking to do. Few recognize it—but it's happening under our noses. All you have to do is look at Yemen. Continue reading
Iran Navy to Deploy to Mediterranean
From the state-run (FSB/KGB) Soviet press:
MOSCOW, January 16 (RIA Novosti) – Iran will deploy a fleet of warships to the Mediterranean Sea, Navy chief Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said on Wednesday.
"The Navy's 24th fleet of warships will patrol the north of the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Aden, Bab-el-Mandeb, the Red Sea, Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea for three months and will even sail as far as southeastern Asian countries," Sayyari was quoted by Press TV as saying. Continue reading
Russian warships sail for Syria, large anti-submarine ship for waters near Iran
Russian warships set out Tuesday, Dec. 18, for two Middle East flashpoint destinations: Naval sources in Moscow reported that two assault ships, a tanker and an escort vessel were detached from the Baltic Fleet and are sailing for the Syrian port of Tartus – possibly to evacuate Russian citizens. A second naval group led by Russia's largest anti-submarine vessel, the Severomorsk, is on its way to the Gulfs of Aden and Oman close to the Persian Gulf and Iran. Continue reading
'Khartoum allowing Iran to establish Red Sea base'
Sudanese opposition groups accused Khartoum this week of reaching a secret agreement with Tehran to establish an Iranian military base on the Red Sea.
Anti-government newspaper Hurriyat Sudan cited an unnamed opposition source on Monday as saying that the Sudanese government had struck a deal with Iran for building a base on the Sudanese coast.
Meanwhile, Sudanese rebel group The Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) said on Sunday that Sudan's President Omar Bashir has reached a "very advanced" arrangement with Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to establish a naval base either in Port Sudan or elsewhere on the Red Sea, according to the Sudanese anti-government news outlet Al Rakoba.

Why You Should Pay Attention to Yemen
Nation by nation, Iran is extending its reach in a bid to rein over the Middle East. If allowed to continue taking control of the world's strategic chokepoints, Iran can affect the world as it sees fit.
On Tuesday, Iran's Fars News Agency, citing a spokesman for Yemen's Revolutionary Forces, reported that "the Yemeni people are deeply interested to establish stronger and very intimate relations with Iran." According to Fars, the spokesman "reiterated that once the Yemeni people take back power from the Saudi-U.S. pivot, Tehran and Sanaa would certainly develop their ties" (emphasis added).
So, what does Iran expect to gain by establishing a strong presence in Yemen?
Take a look at the accompanying map. Basically, Iran wants Yemen for the same reason it wants Ethiopia, Eritrea and Egypt: to control the Red Sea!
(See full story for map)
Yemen is adjacent to both the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. It sits on the north side of the Bab el-Mandab passageway. Every ship that passes through this passage—and there are thousands every year—would travel within easy range of Islamist missiles stationed in Yemen. Consider the global ramifications: Nearly 30 percent of global oil supplies, more than 2 million barrels per day, pass through the Suez and the Red Sea. Roughly 20,000 ships, an average of 55 per day, pass through the Suez Canal and Red Sea each year. About 15 percent of global maritime trade travels through the Red Sea.
Talk about power and leverage!
Few see it, but ultimately, this is Iran's grand strategy for endorsing and promoting the Islamification of Egypt, Ethiopia and Eritrea, and to a lesser extent, Yemen and Djibouti!
Think about the leverage Iran is gaining. It already effectively controls the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Now, in the 18 months since the Arab Spring touched off the rise of Islamist forces throughout North Africa and the Middle East, Tehran has made enormous strides in gaining influence over the Gulf of Aden, the Bab el-Mandab passageway, the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. If Egypt takes control of the Sinai, which appears imminent, Iran will also gain a foothold in the Gulf of Aqaba. It's startling, when you really think about it, the way Iran is quietly, steadily—without hardly anyone noticing—locking down the Red Sea!

Report: Chinese military able to operate far afield
China's military is developing capabilities to conduct "new historic missions" far beyond the communist country's borders, according to an annual Pentagon report to Congress.
Described as "military operations other than war," the missions include counter-piracy and counterterrorism operations, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, U.N. peacekeeping, protecting sea lanes and protecting space-based assets, the report states.
For example, the People's Liberation Army in December deployed its 10th task force to the Gulf of Aden to support international counter-piracy efforts.
The report estimates China's defense budget as $106 billion in 2011, an 11.2 percent increase from the year before. The report notes that the budget could be as high as $180 billion.
Mr. Helvey said there could be associated defense spending not included in China's reported budget, such as research and development, nuclear force modernization, foreign acquisitions of weapons systems, and local contributions to local military forces.

Commentary: Geopolitical maelstrom
Iran can close the Strait of Hormuz, not just for a few hours, as the Israelis say, but long enough to drive oil prices into the stratosphere. An admiral with years of experience in the region at different times of his career said privately Iran can sow thousands of mines in an area that handles one-fifth of the world's daily oil requirements. They are below the surface and can be detonated by remote control as a warship sails over them. Iran's shore line, which covers the entire eastern side of the Persian Gulf, is pock-marked with concealed missile sites.
The Iranians would also use hundreds of small boats in a swarming configuration that U.S. warships are prepared to cope with — but one or two are bound to get through a curtain of fire and punch a hole in the hull of a U.S. or NATO minesweeper.
Such a small boat in Aden harbor in October 2000 punctured the hull of the USS Cole, a $1 billion Arleigh Burke class destroyer, killing 17 sailors, and putting the warship out of service for 18 months with a $220 million repair bill. Cost of the operation to al-Qaida: $10,000 plus three volunteer suicide bombers.
The response of Israeli naysayers is that such tactics would hurt Iran far more than any of its intended targets. U.S. generals and admirals respond that the Iranian leadership wouldn't be averse to cutting off its nose to spite its face.
The Iranians can also absorb temporary belt-tightening far more readily than Western Europeans. And with gas at the pump suddenly selling at $10 to $15 a gallon, U.S. President Barack Obama's updated resume wouldn't look too appealing at the ballot box in November.
The arguments about whether Iran really wants a nuclear capability seem disconnected from reality. Pakistan's nuclear black marketer A.Q. Khan sold the ayatollahs nuclear secrets two decades ago. By all accounts, Tehran is very close to achieving deliverable nuclear payloads.
U.S. Navy 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain is vulnerable; two-thirds of its population is Shiite Muslim and rooting for Tehran in the current conflict.

Massive US Military Buildup on Two Strategic Islands: Socotra and Masirah
While quietly casting lines to draw Tehran into talks on their nuclear dispute, President Barack Obama is reported exclusively by DEBKA-Net-Weekly's military and Washington sources to have secretly ordered US air, naval and marine forces to build up heavy concentrations on two strategic islands – Socotra, which is part of a Yemeni archipelago in the Indian Ocean, and the Omani island of Masirah at the southern exit of the Strait of Hormuz.
Socotra is situated 80 kilometers east of the Horn of Africa and 380 kilometers southeast of the Yemeni coastline. It lies athwart the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. A military base there is in a position to oversee the shipping moving in and out of those strategic naval waterways.
Lushly verdant, Socotra is approximately 120 kilometers long by 40 kilometers wide. Its population of 55,000 has its own distinct language and culture. Since 2010, the US has been quietly building giant air force and naval bases on Socotra with facilities for submarines, intelligence command centers and take-off pads for flying stealth drones, as part of a linked chain of strategic US military facilities in the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf.
The Socotra facilities are so secret that they are never mentioned in any catalogue listing US military facilities in this part of the world, which include Jebel Ali and Al Dahfra in the United Arab Emirates; Arifjan in Kuwait; and Al Udeid in Qatar – all within short flying distances from Iran.
Additional US forces are also being poured into Camp Justice on the barren, 70-kilometer long Omani island of Masirah, just south of the Hormuz entry point to the Gulf of Oman from the Arabian Sea.
US military facilities were established there after the signing of an access agreement with Oman in 1980.
Up to 100,000 US troops present by early March
For the new buildup on Socotra, Washington had to negotiate a new deal with Yemen's ousted ruler Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Injured in an assassination attempt last year, Saleh demanded permission to travel to the United States for medical treatment. The Obama administration first refused, then relented when Saleh made it his condition for consenting to additional troops landing on the island.

A high school cheerleader flipped her way into the Guinness Book of World Records Friday night.
Miranda Ferguson, a 16-year-old junior at the Hockaday School, displayed her handspring talents during halftime for the St. Mark's School of Texas game against the Oakridge School.
The accomplishment was about a year in the making.
Ferguson was on a flipping frenzy last year and did 20 handsprings in a row at a game. One of her friends suggested she could set a record, which she later discovered was 32.
So she started practicing.
During a recent practice she hit the magic number 32 and then during Friday night's game she flipped 35 consecutive times, springing from the 15 yard line to the 15 yard line.
Afterward, Ferguson said she was extremely excited and very relieved because she was really nervous.
"Really just the fans out there really helped me get through it," she said.
Two officials from the Guinness Book of World Records were there to witness and count along.

Holly Brooks is still in disbelief that her neighbors are now mourning the loss of their four-year-old son, after the boy got ahold of a gun, and accidentally shot himself.
"It's devastating for anyone. It's just horrific, more than your heart can hold," said Brooks.
The Jackson County sheriff says the boy's mother called her husband, a county deputy, before she called 9-1-1.
Brooks says the boy's father was the first to arrive on scene, coming down the road so fast that he almost spun out.
"I heard the police car coming really fast. It was astronomical that he even made the corner," Brooks said.
State Police are now handling the investigation. In the meantime, Sgt. Cathy Fitzgerald is asking that the public show support for the family in mourning.
"All law enforcement is grieving for the family at this time however we are conducting an investigation. We ask that the community support the deputy," said Fitzgerald.
Brooks remembers the young boy as a fun-loving kid, often seeing him play with his siblings outside in the yard.
"Oh you see the children all the time. They have a swingset and they play out there and you always see them," said Brooks.
As the family now tries to cope with the loss of their little boy, Brooks says the community is with them.
"The support of everyone goes out to them. All our hearts go out to them."

La Original Banda El Limon de Salvador Lizarraga, one of today's most popular Mexican music bands, has released a romantic album where Banda music meets some of the most legendary Bolero tracks ever written in history. The following is a brief overview of one of the most romantic albums of 2013.
An Outstanding Bolero Compilation
La Original Y Sus Boleros De Amor is a 15-track CD featuring a selection of memorable boleros including titles like "Si Nos Dejan," "Solamente Una Vez," "El Reloj" and "Sabor A Mi."
Considering such a track listing and the band's music style, La Original Y Sus Boleros De Amor provides a great introduction to Bolero and Banda music alike. After listening to this album, I have to say the experiment of revisiting these legendary tracks with a Banda music sound brings a very nice dimension to these songs without losing their original essence.
Bilingual Tracks
Apart from its unique combination of Bolero and Banda music, this album has another innovative aspect to it: The ending part features bilingual versions of the legendary songs "Besame Mucho," "A Mi Manera" and "Solamente Una Vez."
I have to say, this is another successful experiment on this album. The three bilingual tracks are nice and this cross over addition is definitely inviting for those who are not that familiar with the sounds of Banda music.
"La Original"
Not every single track on this album is a legendary Bolero. In fact, La Original Banda El Limon de Salvador Lizarraga released this album with the brand new single "La Original," a romantic song written by Yoel Henriquez that very likely will be embraced by all the fans of the legendary band.
'La Original Y Sus Boleros De Amor' - Bottom Line
La Original Banda El Limon de Salvador Lizarraga has delivered a very nice, pleasant album. Although mixing Banda music with classic boleros was a little bit experimental, I am sure this production will appeal to fans of both genres. Besides this, adding bilingual tracks on this album was a nice move that will probably increase the overall exposure of Banda music.
I really liked the Banda arrangements that adorned each one of the legendary boleros that are featured in this album. On top of all this, and for all those who are just getting into Latin music, La Original Y Sus Boleros De Amor offers a great opportunity to get familiar with the sounds of Bolero and Banda music.

Price Paid: $99
This is a great 3-5 day backpack for kids, especially Boy Scouts. Has the necessary amount of storage for a kid's pack.
- Opti-fit system
- Great hipbelt
- Good front stretch pocket
- Whistle on chest-strap
- Poor waterbottle pockets
- Opti-fit system
This is a great backpack for Boy Scouts because of the size and fit range. It is priced reasonably($139) I got mine for $99 dollars at sunnysports.com on sale because it was the 2011 version. Note: The only thing that changed from 2011 to 2012 was the color.
But anyway, the capacity is great, it compresses well to fit smaller loads with one problem, the top flap/pocket hangs slightly loose. But the pack is built very solidly and can handle loads well.
The Opti-fit system is a blessing, it will fit your small Boy Scout, but will grow with them as they progress in ranks. The only problem is... the numbers are completely off. I have a 15.75 inch torso but I have to adjust it much larger (17.5) in order to make it fit.
I have used this backpack on several short trips and also on several longer car camping trips. The volume is great but some people consider it small, but the smaller size keeps the weight down and prevents unneeded items from being brought on a trip.

This is amazing. I was there and saw kids set fire to it. I was the person that called it in on 911. Then two days later I called the police and they said they ruled out arson as a cause. I said, "Are you serious? I saw someone light it on fire." They still said they ruled out arson. This begins to describe some of the issues in East Palo Alto. If the police and fire officials can't admit this, what will they admit?

Rose Gadson is upset over what she calls an "unfair" charge on her debit card.
She says she pumped $22 worth of gas at the Murphy USA on Cordele Road, but when she got home and checked her account, she found she'd been charged a lot more.
"I was just lying in my bed and something said check your card and I checked my card and sure enough it said $75 to Murphy Oil," said Gadson.
Gadson was looking at a temporary hold charge. The charge is taken off after a certain period of time. She says it came at a pretty crummy time.
"That was my light bill money… that was to pay my light bill with," said Gadson.
After we talked with Murphy representatives they explained that the temporary hold goes on unrecognizable debit cards and gift cards, as a way to make sure they get paid if there aren't sufficient funds on the card.
And Murphy isn't the only station that practices this. We called around and companies such as Shell, BP, and Kangaroo also put temporary holds on certain debit cards and gift cards.
Gadson still isn't convinced the practice is the right thing to do.
"I mean, you think about it. That may be the last dollars on somebody's card and they take it off. That could be money to buy groceries for the children," said Gadson.
Gadson's hold was taken off her account, but it took longer than the 36 hour period she was promised.
Gadson is a student at Albany Tech and her refund money was put on a type of reloadable debit card and that's why she was charged the temporary holding fee.
Murphy officials say if you want to avoid being charged the temporary holding fee, don't pay at the pump. You can still use the card, but you should pay at the register with the clerk.

Alex Cora, once more, with feeling
Mets game 1: Reyes ss. Pagan cf. Bay lf. Davis 1b. Wright 3b. Francoeur rf. Cora 2b. Blanco c. Santana p— Kevin Burkhardt (@kevinburkhardt) June 10, 2010
Cora in the lineup again. This is really getting absurd. First of all, unless Tejada has an injury we don't know about, is there any reason a 20-year-old can't start both ends of a doubleheader? Second, Cora just started a few days ago. It's not as if he's sitting around doing nothing. If anyone could use some playing time, it's Tatis - not to mention the fact that he's actually above replacement-level. The Cora situation is rapidly approaching early-season-GMJ-levels of absurdity. At this point, given his "clubhouse presence" and given that the Mets' clubhouse is, by all accounts, a good place right now, they probably don't want to mess with a good thing and DFA him along with FCat/Jake/GMJ, but the least they could do is not put his "bat" in the lineup every other day.

"It's an entire grief process, from sheer disbelief to sheer sadness," said Dr. Marty Lucas with St. Vincent Healthcare.
Local hospitals, however, have a dedicated team of professionals to help people in those initial hours of need. St. Vincent Healthcare's Breast Center has a patient navigator on staff to help those diagnosed with Cancer.
"When ladies come into the Breast Center to get their Mammogram, when their mammogram doesn't look good, I get to meet the patient right then," said Ella Dugan-Laemmle, the patient navigator at St. V's. "Help them go through the treatment process, as far as scheduling appointments, and then being there for their support system."
Ella said in the past, the first days and weeks after a Cancer diagnosis are often difficult for a patient.
"People don't even know how to breathe, once they have a diagnosis of Cancer," said Ella. "People had to do this all by themselves, and didn't have that support system, or the counselors there for them or their families."
St. V's has a navigator program for four and a half years. Meanwhile, Billings Clinic also has a similar program, with support from the American Cancer Society. Dr. Lucas said a navigator is very important to the patient during the Cancer treatment process.
"The navigator becomes a very close friend to the patient. One they know is going to be there to answer the questions, to make sure that a piece doesn't get missed," said Dr. Lucas. She went on to say that navigators are also very helpful in a doctor's duty.
"We lean on them too, " said Dr. Lucas. "If we know someone needs something, we can call them and say 'hey, we need you to check on this person or this family.'"
"I love being able to be with the patient at the very frontline, to be there and to help them," said Ella.
