2012 SD Legislation
South DakotaLegislative Session
Red - Alert!...High Priority Bill
Blue - Bill of Concern
Black - Bill of Interest
Legislative Preview
The last week of the session was spent on getting the budget for 2015. The Appropriations Committee adopted higher revenue estimates than the Budget Office and LRC proposed so were able to give education and higher Medicaid users additional money over what the Governor proposed. The other big issue was the statewide texting ban - see HB 1177 - it took two conference committees and ended up being a secondary offense, $100 fine, and no mention of local ordinances or confiscation of phones. Veto Day is March 31 Thanks for all your help this session in contacting legislators and attending ABATE Days.

Oral Health Services Research and Oral Health Policy
Oral Health Services Research refers to a discipline of study, which examines societal issues that are considered or implemented in an attempt to better understand oral health related problems. Because these issues and problems are typically complex and multi-faceted, Oral Health Services Research is multidisciplinary and often includes among other fields of study economics, sociology and political science. Oral Health Services Research provides the scientific evidence and foundation for the development of Oral Health Policy and public decision making.
Traditionally, factors associated with oral health are studied in a biological, behavioral, psychological, anthropological, sociological and economic context. These factors provide a conventional understanding of disease, need, demand and utilization and provide important insight into some of the causes of oral health disparities in the United States.
While important and necessary, even a complete and thorough understanding of each of these factors will not always result in an obvious construct that might result in improved oral health outcomes. This is because other factors are often also involved. Understanding oral health and the formulation of programs to help alleviate possible disparities is not only a function of science but is also a matter of policy, politics and public will. As such, a satisfactory outcome necessitates a prior understanding of the institutions and environment in which public decision making occurs. To make the successful promotion of these ideas and solutions even more difficult, these ideas must compete in a competitive public sector market place. Unfortunately, the public sector market place exists as an environment where resources are limited and scarce. Therefore, proposed programs to alleviate oral health disparities must compete with other like programs. Competing programs often have associated with them active and passionate constituencies advocating for the same limited funds. Therefore, it is not enough to understand the issues and it is not enough to postulate a reasonable and obviously appropriate model for relief. Instead, it is also imperative that an implementation plan be developed and included in a context consistent with the prevailing public and private institutions.
A major hallmark of Oral Health Policy includes an anticipation that collaborations across the health professions, both within and between institutions as well as between the health professions and state and local agencies directed at oral health promotion will be formulated. As such an understanding and an ability to work with professional organizations, state and local agencies is a must for success.
Specifically, Maryland's governmental institutions and political processes will have a direct effect on the state's ability to alleviate health disparities among Maryland's citizens. Additionally, private professional organizations as well as various advocacy groups will both directly and indirectly impact any considered changes in policy. The function of oral health policy is to examine each of these institutions, analyze the relationships that exist among these players and help to develop strategies to improve their prospects for success.
Several faculty at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry are currently engaged in Oral Health Services and Oral Health Policy related research projects and have published related manuscripts. In addition, school of dentistry faculty have developed and nurtured valuable and durable relationships with several state and federal agencies as well as with various private professional organizations and advocacy groups.

My family is extremely important to me as they have become my best friends. I am the oldest of 6 and as you can imagine this has given me many wonderful opportunities to be around children. Children are amazing and I love the opportunity I have to work with them in my current child care position. After serving a mission, I decided to go back to school and pursue another degree in teaching, it has proven to be a wonderful experience.
I love to laugh, have a good time and quote movies. I'm goofy but also know when it's time to be serious. I love trying new things and being around people. I also love Thai Food!! So if you're in to Thai food we could be soul mates My dream job is to be a mom!!

2010 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Tammy R. Byrd, Abby Motz; Division of Respiratory Care, Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH
BACKGROUND: Education is a key component in preparing the respiratory care profession for the future of healthcare. It is evident that through recent publications that the existing and future respiratory therapists (RTs) should be competent in traditional and non-traditional areas of respiratory care. Our institution cultivates an atmosphere that promotes life-long learning; starting with all newly hired respiratory therapists. Starting in 2008, we devised an educational curriculum program for all newly hired respiratory therapists at our institution called Respiratory Review Knowledge Know-How (R2K2). One of the goals of the R2K2 class is to guarantee consistency in the standards of respiratory care practice at our institution, as well as creating a safe environment for learning while ensuring competency. Curriculum included: patient assessment and situational awareness, newborn anomalies, airway clearance techniques, asthma and bronchiolitic protocols, tracheostomy care, suctioning, cardiac defects and recognizing the cardiac pediatric patient, invasive and non-invasive ventilator management, acid-base balance, crash cart emergencies, and respiratory care charge capturing. METHOD: Surveys were distributed to each of the newly hired RTs post R2K2 class completion to assess the quality of the education curriculum. Survey questions were in a form of a likert scale (ranging from 1 being strongly disagree to 7 being strongly agree) and open comments. RESULTS: 57% of the respondents strongly agreed and 37% moderately agreed that new knowledge and skills were obtained. 62% strongly agreed and 29% moderately agreed that the new knowledge and skills learned could be applied to their job. 65% strongly agreed and 32% moderately agreed that the training was a worthwhile investment for career development. 68% strongly agreed and 28% moderately agreed that the training was a worthwhile investment for the division. CONCLUSION: As a direct result of the R2K2 classes, quality education was delivered while ensuring that the standards of care throughout the institution were maintained. The educational curriculum established for the newly hired RTs has provided valuable knowledge and skills that can be applied to both the clinical and professional realm. Sponsored Research - None

May 16, 2012The Witcher 2 is a highly recommended purchase for those seeking a mature and visceral role-playing experience.
Apr 12, 2012The Witcher 2 continues to be a colossal creative and technical achievement and the superb 360 version only confirms the excellence CD Projekt's craft. Console users get a fantastic version of a fantastic game, while the PC users get a great patch that improves and enhances the experience of the original, a perfect excuse to return as The White Wolf and to live his adventure from a new perspective.
Apr 19, 2012The Xbox 360 version has some rough edges, but these annoyances aren't significant enough to sully the experience. The Witcher 2 is a beauty to behold with a rich, involving fiction framing strategic and challenging combat. Most of all, its mature implementation of morality, choice, and consequence is a step forward that more games would be wise to follow.
Apr 13, 2012The immersive world, memorable characters, exhilarating combat, and branching storylines will have you coming back to play it again and again.
Apr 19, 2012The mature theme, gameplay and compelling plot pull us through a story that creates a legend that you would be a fool to miss out on.
Apr 26, 2012The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - Enhanced Edition is a game that lives up to the hype. The story and game come off as more mature than other similarly rated games. The combat is rewarding, and the completely alternate paths and side-quests provide more than enough incentive to replay the game once you finish it. The sound is masterfully done, and the graphics show that, even with a few flaws, developers can pull off some magic with this old hardware. Both RPG and action lovers will be more than satisfied with this very entertaining title.
Apr 26, 2012Despite all the additions and enhancements, The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition is an unsatisfying game that won't appeal to series newcomers and never lives up to its own ambitions.

Apr 18, 2012@Dacai: you didn't take into account that 1) in some regions this game was available from the 14th of April and 2) there are quite a few people who bought it on xbox who played it on pc before, thus they ARE able to give an in-depth review after just a day of playing. Please remove your unfair score and make a review only after you have actually played the game. My review: Marvellous story, where your decisions really matter. Gorgeous graphics. Intensive gameplay. Solid voice acting. Original and captivating music. The Witcher 2 has all that and much more.… Expand
Apr 27, 2012An absolutely master full RPG. CDprojeckt red have done a fantastic job porting the game over to the 360, and despite some technical limitations the game sill looks and performs great. The map and inventory system could bea little better as they can be confusing and some of the mission objectives can be difficult to find but these are minor niggles that subtract little from the overall experience. The game has fluent and challenging combat, and a great story. A must for and RPG fan.… Expand
Oct 1, 2012The Witcher 2 is great for many reasons. It's superb story line, engaging characters and it's combat that will punish you if you don't use the resources available for you. It has two very different story paths and your actions actually do make an effect on the game. The only negative thing I can say about this game is it's quest marker on the mini map which can sometimes be very misleading, sometimes sending you in the wrong direction. But this isn't that bad once you become familiar with the area.… Expand
Aug 29, 2013Quick, re-review.
Great game, but takes some getting into and hard work to get to the nitty gritty goodness.
Buy it and follow my advice to enjoy it the most -
1) When answering questions in the Dungeon about what happened do it in order, from top to bottom. Otherwise you play out the prologue in an order which makes no sense and throws you for the rest of the game.
2) You get the choice of two paths, without doubt one is far more interesting than the other IMO so create a save before you make this choice (it's towards the end of chapter one and *minor spoiler* it's when you choose between an elf or a King's bodyguard), and don't be afraid to restart from that save if you find the path you chose boring.
3) If you get to the end of Chapter 1 and things aren't making sense, quit, take a breather for a few days/weeks, and start the game again understanding all the terminology/people/events goes a long way to making the game enjoyable.… Expand
Apr 17, 2012Just want to start out by saying I have played BOTH the PC and Console versions of the game, will not be giving it either a 0 or a 10 like most on here, and do not work for WB. I am just a lonely podcaster (LIQUID GAMER) trying to let you know what I thought of this game on console. First off the good, game play worked well with the controller, I was worried about that. Besides a few misses the graphics are slightly dumb'ed down than its PC counterpart, still colorful and well executed. And the story is and will continue to be excellent and intriguing. Unlike other RPG's the choices you make matter more than just giving you horns or orange scratches on your skin. They will adjust the story and the way things in the world play out. So choose wisely and enjoy it! Now for the not so good... Audio is a big part of gaming in my point of view, even though the score is great the voice acting and recording quality from that voice acting is horrible. Some moments felt as if the voice actors called in the lines over a land line to a cassette tape and then digitized for the game. Very noticeable and very bad. The game was glitchy but most games are now a days so I didn't mind it that much. So that's it, great game all in all, worth ownership due to length and involvement, but not work a 10 and totally not a 0. Good Gaming! http://liquidgamer.podbean.com/… Expand
Jun 14, 2012Absolutely atrocious. Doesn't live up to the hype, not by a long shot. Okay, after seeing the visually stunning and intriguing trailer aired for this game and reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I was very excited to pick this game up and dive in. I don't think I could have been more disappointed. First off, the stunning visuals displayed in the trailer were replaced by "pretty good" visuals in the game itself.
When being compared to other games of this generation I give it's visuals a 7 out of 10. Actually, to be entirely honest with you I thought this was the game's strongest point. That was the first thing I noticed. Then came the control mechanics. Which to put it lightly where awkward and confusing with no natural flow and ease of use. The menus were even worse. For every minute spent in-game another three were spent in the terribly difficult and slow to navigate menus. But let us step away from the quickly frustrating controls and menus before I go into a fit of maniacal rage on the subject. (We'll save that for later.)
On now to the choppy, absolutely unnatural, and unimaginative dialog. I mean come on! I've seen more imaginative exchanges in episodes The Telitubbies! And they don't even use complete sentences! To be honest I wish I would have picked up a non-English version. I probably would've gotten more out of it!
After about 3 hours of hoping that the awesomeness that everyone was raving about was going to reveal itself, I couldn't take anymore abuse. I felt that blood pressure had doubled and my IQ had been halved. I'd had enough. It was with the excitement of someone that's found a dead rat in their home that I removed the disk from my console. I'm still sick about the $60 and 3 hours of my life that I'll never get back because of this disappointment. All in all, if Atari would have put half the vision and effort into the game as they did into the trailer they may have had something. And that's all I've got to say about that.… Expand

Sue Morrow Elementary School Reviews
If you do not mind some incompetence and rude staff..this school is great!
The principal left in mid school year;I have been lied to about teaching experience, kids come home still not understanding what needs to be done, and the office staff seem to think their little "comments" and unprofessional behavior is justified and cute. They were making kids throw out their food before they were done with it, and the lack of cultural training/development is quite obvious. Quite sad really. Any other state, where education was a priority, more than half of this school staff would be fired!!!!Thought this school was great in the beginning.....but that changed real quick as the laminated image they portray slowly began to peel off...exposing their true face. If you like to settle for less.....this school is fine.
School has no serious education plan, my daughters 4th grade teacher sends home the same homework for the last 2 months a 4 question reading story. Never see no real test scores or the adjenda the school teachs.
THis school seems to be behind in teaching Muilti tax in the frith grade instead of the 2nd grade. Way behind in Math in what they teach.
Sue h morrow was the best school I have ever went to I felt safe and ready to learn!
This school is the best school ever. I should know because I was a current student there.

Toyota releases extra tough Land Cruiser GX for Australia
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Nov 11th, 2011 at 3:30PM
This Land Cruiser comes from the factory with not only the ability to ford deep water, but the intent, as well. There are many reasons to love Australia. Beautiful beaches, fantastic surfing, miles of unspoiled countryside and balmy winters all do much to stoke our appreciation of the country. We can now add the bare-bones Toyota Land Cruiser GX to that list. Toyota says that it created this particular vehicle for those customers who "tend to abuse, not just drive" their vehicles. That certainly sounds like our kind of people. The Land Cruiser GX features vinyl floor mats,... Read More

As the weather turns nice the next few days, more people will be out, but not all of them have good intentions. There have been some problems with home and car break-ins near 104th Street north of West Maple Road. More than a dozen incidents in just the past week.
Police and neighbors are working together to reduce crime before it happens.
Elden Jonas doesn't get out much, a broken foot is the reason why. But he does know his neighborhood and neighbors. "We've had some crime in the neighborhood, but I don't think its as bad as some areas. I'll be working in the back yard and if I see a strange automobile acting kind of strangely going slow..."
Or unknown people walking around. "I ask myself, why are they here in the neighborhood and I kind of keep an eye out to see what they're doing. I didn't used to be as cautious as I am now."
Omaha Police Capt. Shayna Ray is developing a program called Problem Oriented Policing. "Right now, a big issue is property crime. I've wanted the officers to get involved in solving problems that they see in the community. They're out there working every day and they see what the problems are in their district."
Getting the community on board is a big help. Apartment complexes can be areas where there are higher incidents of crime just due to the fact that there are more people living in a smaller area. But police say more apartment complex managers are working with them to stop crime before it starts. Some apartments have added more lighting and security.
"So, it's been a great partnership," said Capt. Ray. "I would encourage those apartments to be part of their neighborhood associations in their area."
More homeowners have additional lighting and security systems and shut their garage doors. Jonas says neighborhood patrols and homeowners associations also help stop crime. "I think all of these things that we're doing helps a lot."
Police also encourage neighbors to call 911 when they do see something in their neighborhood that looks suspicious. Capt. Ray says it's also a good idea for businesses to team up with neighborhood groups in the area.

Dear Abby: I must comment on your reply to the woman whose gentleman friend's only drawback is his terrible teeth. You recommended candidly saying, "You really need to see a dentist - let me refer you to mine."
I hope it works for her. When my husband and I were courting, the only thing I found seriously disturbing was the miserable condition of his teeth. The one time I mentioned it, he blew up, and I never mentioned it again. However, our compatibilities far outweighed the teeth issue, so I decided to bear with it and hope he would change. He didn't.

As a retired New York City schoolteacher and an active participant in the local community for many years, I have had the opportunity to meet and work with dozens of elected officials. None of them possess more dedication and commitment to the residents they lead than North Hempstead Town Councilwoman Lee Seeman. For that reason, I am proud to support her as she runs for her third term representing the 5th Council District in the Town of North Hempstead.
I have known Lee Seeman for several years and have worked with her on a number of different levels. She often visits the Village of Saddle Rock where I reside to meet with the village mayor in order to stay on top of the most relevant issues to her constituents. Lee's style of addressing residents' concerns head on and bringing all the appropriate parties to the table to resolve the issues is exactly what is needed from our elected officials. I have witnessed this first-hand as
Lee has been at the forefront of my community for the twenty years that I have lived here, even before her time on the town council. She has spent nearly 40 years as program director for the Great Neck Chamber of Commerce, and has worked hard to beautify our downtowns, identify new business and investment opportunities, and improve the quality of life in Great Neck.
We have been so fortunate to have Lee Seeman representing us on the town council for the past eight years. She has the knowledge, experience, and unmatched devotion to her job that makes her one of the pre-eminent leaders of our community. I encourage you to vote for her this Nov. 5 so residents' voices continue to be heard in the 5th Council District in the Town of North Hempstead!

FORT BELVOIR, Va.—Carla Hall, co-host of ABC's TV show "The Chew," shared her passion for food with troops and their families on Monday and Tuesday during her first USO tour.
On her two-day tour to Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, and the USO's Warrior and Family Centers at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and Bethesda, Maryland, Hall drew crowds of more than 340 troops and military families.
In addition to a book signing and a hospital visit, Hall's July 21-22 tour also included four specialty cooking classes created exclusively for healing heroes, their families and caregivers.
"I'm here because I love the feeling of giving back," Hall said. "And meeting some of those wounded warriors and all that they've done for this country and how selfless they are … it's my opportunity to give back."

Chances are, you have been washing your own hands for quite a while. All it takes is a little soap and some water, right? Actually, there is a bit more to handwashing. Below, find out how to wash your hands correctly, and why it matters so much.
The single most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick and to stop the spread of disease-causing germs is to wash your hands
. By frequently washing your hands, you wash away germs that you may have picked up from other people or from contaminated surfaces. One of the most common ways people catch
is by rubbing their nose or their eyes after their hands have been contaminated with the cold virus. More frequent hand washing may be able to reduce the spread of the cold virus. Some studies show that when children are carefully taught to wash their hands school absenteeism is reduced, perhaps especially when alcohol-based hand rubs are combined with handwashing.
You cannot see germs with the naked eye, so wash your hands often. Especially important times include:
To properly wash your hands, follow these simple steps:
Note: When soap is not readily available, alcohol-based hand rubs offer a quick and easy alternative. No water is needed and studies show they're fairly effective. But washing with soap is still the best single step you can take to prevent infection.

A woman is dead after the car she was driving goes off the road and is vaulted 100 feet into the Colorado River east of Palisade. The unidentified woman and her car were discovered by a passerby around 8 O'clock Sunday morning, six hours after the crash is believed to have happened. The person traveling along Highway 6 noticed the Kia Sportage lying upside down and half–way submerged in the water and called authorities. Investigators say a woman in her early to mid-30's was driving the vehicle when investigators say she took a curve at about 60 to 70 miles per hour. They believe she lost control of the vehicle sending it into the river. A preliminary investigation revealed the woman was wearing a seat belt and it appears as though she didn't attempt to free herself from the SUV. Along with alcohol and speed being contributing factors in the crash, State Patrol also reports a male passenger was in the vehicle at the time of the crash. He reportedly left the scene after sustaining moderate injuries and was later contacted at his residence in Clifton. He is currently cooperating with investigators.

History Lessons: The Munich Agreement
CFR's James M. Lindsay reflects on the signing of the Munich Agreement on September 30, 1938 and how the United States can apply the lesson...
Speaker: James M. Lindsay, Senior Vice President and Director of Studies, Council on Foreign Relations
March 13, 2012
On March 16, 1935, Adolf Hitler announced that he would rearm Germany in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler revealed that Germany had begun to construct an air force, and unveiled plans to reinstitute conscription and create a German army of more than half a million men. Britain, France, Italy, and the League of Nations all issued statements condemning Hitler's decision, but did little else to penalize Germany.
James M. Lindsay, CFR's senior vice president and director of studies, notes that it was only on September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, that "the rest of Europe confronted, rather than appeased, Hitler." This four-year delay, he argues, points to a basic difficulty in international relations. "Aggressive, expansionist states are most easily stopped early on when they are weak and vulnerable," he says, but "precisely because their capabilities are limited at that point--and their intentions can only be guessed at--it is often hard to persuade other countries to act."

Return to story
WASHINGTON--Tyrell Godwin always knew he would play professional baseball, even as passed up a $1.9 million signing bonus from the New York Yankees in 1997 to attend college at North Carolina.
He knew it two years later, even as he spurned the Texas Rangers after they drafted him and offered the speedy and talented outfielder $1.2 million.
And even when he hurt his knee playing football for the Tar Heels, and slipped to the third round of the 2001 draft and the Toronto Blue Jays, where millions were no longer dangled in front of his nose, he knew it.
But Godwin, 25, an intriguing prospect for the Washington Nationals off to a fast start at Triple-A New Orleans, had other things on his mind.
Like he always has.
"I feel like I had the ability to play professional ball but I felt like academically as a kid growing up that there was more for me to do aside from high school and just playing ball," Godwin said. "You are not going to be able to play ball forever."
So Godwin made the rare choice of books over baseball.
Godwin was the valedictorian of his Wilmington, N.C., high school, and wanted to be the first member of his family to graduate college. He played football and baseball at UNC, but attended on an academic scholarship.
When he finally walked across the stage in December of 2000 with a degree in tow, the history major knew it was time to really give pro baseball a try.
When the Blue Jays drafted him in the third round in 2001, there was no regret, even though the first-round money was no longer and his passion for baseball was openly questioned. He still says his decision to graduate from college was the "best move I ever made."
"I don't regret anything I have ever done," Godwin said. "I regret the way people treated me because of the decision I made to go to college and stuff. I don't dwell on it."
He's certainly not regretting it now.
When his path to the majors stalled after four seasons in the Blue Jays' system, the Nationals selected him in the Rule 5 Draft in December, meaning they would have to keep him on the major league roster or return him to Toronto.
The Nationals thought so highly of Godwin in Spring Training that they traded minor league pitcher Aaron Wideman to the Blue Jays so they could send Godwin to Triple-A.
He hasn't disappointed.
Through Friday's games, the Godwin was leading the Zephyrs with a .395 batting average--which ranks fifth in the Pacific Coast League--and continues to develop as a hitter.
He's hit leadoff and third for New Orleans, and is just a call away from making his big league debut and finally answering the doubters who questioned him when he chose college over professional baseball.
"I always felt like I a good enough investment," Godwin said. "I felt in the long run that it will all come."Nice grab
Washington general manager Jim Bowden picked Travis Hughes up off waivers at the end of Spring Training, but never expected the type of performance the former Texas Rangers' prospect has turned in.
"He's been perfect. Not a run, not a hit," Bowden said. "He's throwing 94, 95 [mph] and hasn't given up a hit yet."
That's true. Through eight games and 8 innings, the 6-foot-5 right-hander has allowed just two walks and struck out eight.Et cetera
Potomac Nationals pitcher Mike O'Connor struck out 15 batters in 6 innings Wednesday. He took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before giving up a solo home run.

Haiti trip update – day 6 (Apr 8, 2012)
So, at 9, 10 and 12, we raised over $150,000 playing music in the streets and donated it to Haiti. Then, we decided to come here to film the lives of kids and share it in classrooms, using rock and roll. We've been here 5 days and today we went to Kenscoff, back into the back of the truck for another drive through Haiti…
We visited Our Little Brothers and Sisters Orphanage
and played a show…
After the show, we ate and slept with the orphans, to get an idea of what life is like for them.
