Your Care Team
Patients are cared for by a team that may include skilled nurses, certified home health aides, physical therapists, speech therapists, pharmacists and medical social workers.
Our staff delivers care under the direction of the patient's primary physician and develops an individualized plan of care. This team approach guarantees the best specialty care for each patient.
The team may include:
- Skilled Adult Nurses
- Skilled Pediatric Nurses
- Medical Social Workers
- Mental Health Nurses
- Physical Therapists
- Occupational Therapists
- Speech Therapists
- Nutritional Counselors
Intermittent Care brings the best possible care to your home, whether you're coping with an illness, need help after hospitalization, or find it difficult to leave home on your own.
Visits are scheduled according to need, may range from daily to once a month and typically last about one hour or less. A team of professionals includes adult or pediatric nurses, mental health nurses, social worker, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, nutrition counselors.
Cardiac Care
Comprehensive care is available for patients recovering from heart bypass surgery, valve surgery or heart attack, or for patients with congestive heart failure. After-care and education for both patients and caregivers are key components of our in-home cardiac care.
Diabetic Education
Thorough education is provided to patients and caregivers following a diagnosis of diabetes. Educational topics include foot care, diet, how to give insulin injections and how to monitor blood sugar to maintain good health.
Infusion Therapy
Patients who need IV antibiotics, pain management and other complex infusion therapies no longer require inpatient care when they are otherwise stable. Ingalls offers the option of home infusion therapy. Services are coordinated and delivered by Ingalls Home Care RNs specializing in all types of infusions. Infusion therapy provides a broad range of intravenous (IV) medications, including antibiotics, anti-nausea medication, hydration, pain management, total parenteral nutrition and central line maintenance. For information on Infusion Therapy, please call 708.331.0226.
Lymphedema Therapy
Lymphedema occurs most commonly in women who have had breast surgery with removal of lymph nodes, followed by radiation therapy. It is also caused by interruption of normal lymphatic flow due to surgery, infection or trauma. Lymphedema can appear weeks, months or even years after the initial surgery. It may also occur following injury or infection. In each case, normal drainage of the lymphatic fluid is interrupted. Although there are cases when lymphedema has spontaneously resolved and never recurred, for most patients it is a chronic problem requiring an ongoing effort to control. A treatment plan is based on evaluation by one of our specially trained therapists and may include one or more of the following elements: Skin care; Massage; Exercise; Bandaging; Compression Garments; Medicine.
Mother/Baby Visits
The birth of a new baby is a joyous time, but if a difficult delivery was involved, or if baby has some special health concerns, home care visits are available if ordered by a patient's physician. Care is available for low-birth-weight infants, as well as infants who have feeding difficulties or who fail to thrive. Home care is also available for mothers who experienced complicated deliveries.
Pediatric Care
A full range of pediatric home care services are available. Services are directed by the child's pediatrician and carefully integrated into a plan based on the specific needs and health issues of the child.
Pre- and Post-Surgical Care
Education and care are available for patients and caregivers before and after major joint replacement surgeries, including hip and knee. If needed, physical therapy, occupational therapy and gait re-training services are available to help the patient recover safely and comfortably.
Specialized Wound Care Ostomy
Wounds can cause a considerable amount of pain, suffering, loss of function, as well as change in body image. Ingalls wound care team is dedicated to restoring and maintaining each patient's opportunity to heal inside and out.
The wound care team consists of an RN-certified wound specialist who coordinates a team of nurses well trained in current wound and ostomy care therapies. This enables patients to receive education on the healing process, nutrition, hydration, medications and more.
Wound care involves skin and wound assessment; prevention of skin breakdown; reduction of shear and friction; application of barriers; management of surgical wounds, chronic wounds, pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers and diabetic foot wounds; pre- and post-graft applications; and fistula management. Consultations and referrals are available to advanced wound centers.

In the September issue of Jane's Intelligence Review, Anne Stenersen examines al Qaeda's online manuals for producing biological and chemical weapons.
She is less than impressed.
Among these training manuals, various documents related to chemical and biological weapons (CBW) are available. Best described as 'aspirational', they are generally crude amalgamations of widely available, open-source material and rarely provide sufficient detail to allow safe and successful production of sophisticated chemical or biological agents, and much less help the reader to weaponise or deliver them.
Still, according to Stenersen, al Qaeda's enduring fascination with and desire for CBW make analysis of these manuals necessary.
While the manuals are poor in technical sophistication, they do provide other helpful intelligence such as tips on how to obtain chemicals without alerting authorities and how to properly handle chemical and biological agents without exposing oneself to harm.
Overall, Stenersen assesses that the threat from an al Qaeda CBW would not likely result in mass casualties and due to the manual's lack of scientific knowledge, any weapon produced from following an al Qaeda manual would bear little resemblance to militarily effective CBW.

Autonomy issues sunny side up forecast
that everyone else is reporting a meltdown and yet these people are doing quite well. I worked for these cowboys before ( see http://www.paullee.com/computers/autonomy.php ) and they had an overinflated opinion of themselves even then.
Ex-CEO says BAE's British future 'in doubt'
I worked for BAE Systems from 1999 to 2006. After the merger with Marconi Electronic Systems, the "B", in fact the whole of "BAE" was written to mean absolutely nothing. We were even order to write the name in block capitals (BAE SYSTEMS) until we were told otherwise a few years later.

Microsoft: Windows 7 ready for Christmas 2009

Yes! It's the Darth Vader breakfast toaster
Remember the Woolworths advert? "Did you purchase the toaster?"
David Tennant quits Who
A new era, thank God
Now with Tennant and Davies going, we will at last hopefully NOT have important plot explanations delivered at break-neck speed and buried in techno babble. The otherwise high production values and glitzy eye candy may keep the kiddies happy but this DOES not make for good TV. Oh, and get rid of that bleedin' sonic screwdriver. It seems everytime the Doc is in trouble, he whips it out (ooer etc.) and manages to fill a plot hole, or escape from a situation in seconds. Terrible writing.
Microsoft's Fast charged with 'accounting fraud'
FASTs rival
I used to work for a rival to FAST. We were told to, in sales presentations to customers, hype up the fact that (a) FAST were being investigated for all fraud and (b) over emphasize how poor their software was, rather than how good ours was. Our managers used to send round snotty emails gloating about our high-profile customers and FAST's unknown ones. Theres a write -up here:
Yours truly, angry mob
My own website...
...was shut down by BT Internet for "inflamatory" (but 100% true) comments about my old employer. No court order, no telephone call, no letter, nothing. I just found out that my website had been closed down, my email access revoked. And the buggers are still charging me for internet access, 21 months on, and they haven't responded to my letters for a refund and apology. I have heard nothing from BT Internet, and this is after a letter to the chairman demanding an explanation.
Theres more on my own web page at http://www.paullee.com/computers/index.php - read the first bullet point and follow the link.

Telco compares merger to Challenger space shuttle
Bloody admin!
Anonymous coward, you're not the only one to thing that bureaucracy gets in the way of "good" designs. In the post-Titanic era, her new sister ship was fitted with huge gantry lifeboat davits that could reach across the deck and get lifeboats from the other side of the ship. That way, if the ship listed to one side, the lifeboats on the other side could be used....
....except that the gantries were placed on either side of the funnels, making them useless for retrieving boats.

Apple threatening Windows?
Not according to the access stats on my own website it isn't!
CSC cranks the whalesong up to 11
I remember the bad old days of CSC at BAE SYSTEMS, and no rebranding will resue their poor reputation within the company, who delayed deploying software and hardware within the company until the last minute, scuppering many projects. No wonder then that we thought that CSC stood for C*ck sucking c*nts.

Branson: saviour of Northern Rock
Branson used to me a bit of a hero of mine ... but ever since he's offered to help Kate and Gerry McScam (the parents who left their three children in a ground floor unlocked appartment while they went boozing) financially, I'm boycotting all his enterprises.
The RIAA will come to regret its court win
I semi-agree with the guy here. I'm unemployed, but have filled my time up by writing a book, which I intend to be a downloadable, or snail mail delivered ebook. The benefit is that, postage costs aside, I get just about all the profits from it. A friend of mine, another author, has his books published traditionally, and for every 1000 copies sold, he gets £1000. Pretty poor when you consider his books sell for £10-15 a piece!

Who let the dogs out?
Mike McGrath, Garden Plot
Mike McGrath, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Jim in Alexandria has an all-too common problem.
He writes, "I have several Boxwoods along the walkway at the front of my house, and neighborhood dogs love to urinate on them (and it doesn't appear that their owners care.) This is slowly killing the Boxwoods. Almost half of the leaves are brown and dying. Any recommendations on how to keep the dogs away?"
Signage for starters, Jim. My local hardware store sells little signs that have words or images on them that make clear dogs shouldn't be doing their business in the area. I'd post several - at a height of about three or four-feet, where they can't be missed. (You'll find lots of free, printable designs online, and one company I know of offers a variety of styles on long-lasting metal.
Give it about a week, and if the signs are being ignored, set up a motion activated sprinkler to protect the area. Getting a brisk shot of cold water should get the attention of the dogs and, more importantly, their clueless walkers.
Here's the official website for the model that I use to ward off evil squirrels. And here it is a much better price.
The time is now to use milky spore to stop lawn grubs
George in Fredericksburg writes, "I read with interest your recent article explaining that milky spore doesn't work when applied in the spring. I applied it to my lawn in March of this year. Did I waste my time, effort and money? Do I need to reapply?"
Unfortunately, the answer is yes to all of your questions, George. Years ago, I had the good fortune to track down and interview one of the researchers who helped develop milky spore disease as a natural protection against lawn grubs. He explained that to be effective, milky spore powder must be applied to a lawn when the soil temperature is at least 70 degrees and the grubs are actively feeding. Spring soils are much too cold, and grubs don't feed in the spring.
The good news is that the soil temperature is perfect right now, and the grubs are actively feeding on the roots of your lawn. Apply the milky spore now and it should infect lots of grubs. And those dead grubs will, in turn, become little milky spore factories making your lawn grub-free for many, many years.
Manage moisture to mop up millipedes
Michael and Jill in "beautiful but buggy Harwood" write, "We have been in our house for 10 years now and hardly ever saw a millipede, but this year we are infested with them. They come out of the grass to die on the patio and driveway and sometimes they find their way into the house. I sprinkled some multipurpose insect killer around the perimeter of the house and saw no results. Is there something I can use that would specifically target the millipedes?"
That all-purpose poison only threatens your health, guys. Millipedes aren't insects. But they are creatures of dampness and frequent watering of that lawn would attract them. You don't need to spread different granules of death you just need to eliminate their preferred habitat.
Switch to the one deep watering a week plan that's also much better for your grass, do everything else you can to keep the areas where they appear nice and dry and the millipedes will simply vanish. If they persist indoors, it's a sign you need to run a dehumidifier.
Groundcover title fight: The battle in Bethesda
Patricia in Bethesda writes, "I have two Dogwood trees in my front yard with a pachysandra ground cover underneath. My issue is that vinca has completely taken over the entire area, and is covering the top of the pachysandra. How can I get rid of the vinca?"
Unfortunately, you let this fight go way too many rounds, Patricia. You would have had a good chance if you had started pulling out the vinca of soaking wet soil as soon as it appeared. But vinca is a much stronger and more aggressive ground cover than pachysandra and now that it's well-established, it would be very difficult to eradicate. Anything you do to try and remove it would seriously stress those fragile Dogwoods. You'd also have to start a brand new run of a pachysandra. Since vinca is also a very attractive flowering ground cover, I urge you to just leave it be. It's clearly the plant that's better suited to that area.

Hi !
I tried to find original idea to make a real new game, it's the result !
Original gameplay map, main idea is to surprise players with unlikely situation. The good point is all events which are coming are random, so you will always improvise your strategy in terms of players, units they get, and their psychology.
Roll The Dice is an 8 player map, FFA or teams. Each player spawns in an arena as a random unit. When that unit dies, another random one spawns for you to fight as. There are 8 outposts in the arena belonging to each player, and when destroyed the player loses. When you get kills, you earn money you can use to upgrade your units, your outpost, and more. Last tower remaining wins. Attack and gold bonus appear randomly on the map as relics and broken carts that you can pick.
This is a fun map, with a part of luck, where noob and pro can play together. But you can still become skilled and win most of the time without luck ! In fact, it's like poker. Skills are to know get kills with any unit, to have reflexes and know what to buy in the store. There are too much random factors so there isn't a constant best buy order, you have to show reflection, always.
Play all visible map and ffa if beginner ! 8p advisable.

Full help:
Here basic rules, but you can go to RTD website where there are lot of thing related to advanced strategy.
Way to win: Get kills in priority ! Teaming vs best player is often bad idea, don't forget you help other players to kill u by killing player who can kill them ^^, it's pretty fun ! You must be ready for the final 1v1, where players who got more kills have an higher chance to win.
Start messages: Be careful to messages at start, they notice to you all game alterations and RTD can be completely different: for example if you don't see the 500 HP outposts start then you are die . All change prices are noticed after your civ bonus in green for discount price and orange for raised price.
Outposts burning: There is a moment during the game where outposts begin to be damaged by random explosions, this moment is noticed at start by the dice number at middle (EG: 6 = 60 min, 3 = 30 min, etc.). Probabilities of explosions are increased each 10 minutes until 30 minutes elapsed, then the last way of explosions come 30 minutes later. Check RTD website for more info.
Example: Here it will start at 50 minutes (number 5):

125: Ultimate Power (+1 AP / +3 HP per seconde)
250: Mega Power (+5 AP / +15 HP per seconde)
You may see approximate kills of enemy players at outpost's name. (EG: Power 1 = +10 kills, Power 2 = +20 kills, etc.)
Wood: Total Kills
Food: +1/Kill, use at food island or by deleting fish trap to get new units
Gold: +1/Kill, +3/Convert, +5/Raze, you get a cart every 5 Gold

Civ Bonus:
All standard civ bonus are researched at start: passive techs, unique techs and elite techs. Some of these bonus aren't noticed at start if they are not much important. For some reasons "Logistica" is disable, also in Forgotten Empire version "Great Wall", "Yasama", "Madrash" and "Druzhina" are disable. See below to know special roll the dice civ bonus.
=> What's the island with relics at top ?
- At this island you can choose your streak kills bonus. When you reach the stone amount needed then you get the bonus, stone is streak kills counter.
=> How use shortcuts ?
- Sortcuts are really easy to use and are usefull gameplay tricks: Assign a number to them, and during the game for panic or reroll press the assigned number and right click anywhere in map. VLDM will go down and activate reroll or panic, then go back.
=> What are upgrades at bottom in store ?
These upgrades are technologies to have better units.
=> How unlock Final Power ?
You must buy all blacksmith upgrades (right) and units tech (bottom). It need 12 carts.
=> What means sniper ?
When you buy a sniper you can choose a player that you want damage. But damages aren't constant ! You can do, randomly, 1k, 2k, 3k, 4k or 5k damage.
=> Where can from outpost HP decrease/increase ? (They are adding together)
- +8/sec max from store
- -8/sec max from a player (-56 max from all players)
=> What "HP Decrease Divided by 2" upgrade means ?
This upgrade cuts all HP decrease from players in half. Example: 2 players bought -4HP/sec, then you lose -8HP/sec, if you buy damage/2 you lose only -4HP/sec...
=> What are rate multiplicators in super store ?
These upgrades multiplies the speed of your bank income, HP increase/decrease or middle bonus. E.G: If you buy Bank Rate x3 your bank will give to you 1 gold/20 sec instead 1 gold/min. And remember, it's useless to buy it if you haven't the bank yet !
=> What's this old stone head in store ?
This is the unknown upgrade which can be very interesting and powerful but it's random.
=> I don't understand how work some upgrades from the unknown upgrade.
Dysfuncionnal upgrades are bonus which come randomly (wood, gold, ap for your unit), panic dodger give to you a chance (1/2) to don't be killed by panic. Lucky enchantment increase your chance to get an hero spawn by 3 and increase also your chance to get more gold and ap with broken carts and relics. Others upgrades are easy to understand.
=> Teams are detected ?
- Yes all possibilities are detected: Panic and HP decrease don't touch your ally.

We're all about "A Christmas Tea" here
I wish I could send a copy of the print magazine to all my friends reading this blog, but instead I'll do the next best thing: our magazine is available for free on the web, and if you go here, you can take a look! (I've heard from some of our readers that the digital issue doesn't work well on older computers, so I apologize in advance if that is the case for you.) But in case you're interested, I wanted you to be able to flip through to the first feature, which is our cover story on "A Christmas Tea." I hope you'll find a recipe or two that you don't already have!

Hey Angela, just wanted to come back now that I'd had time to read through the magazine, and comment. I especially enjoyed your opening remarks about the little nativity -- what a sweet story! I also enjoyed the story on the needlework crosses (and that recipe for seafood casserole looked marvelous) and your book review on the holiday wreaths. But your piece on the Christmas tea party was marvelous and I cannot wait to try out some of the recipes! I've just recently taken over our youth girls SS class, and I'm thinking a Christmas Tea might be a fun thing to do for them! Thanks again for sharing -- I downloaded the whole thing right to my laptop! *Hugs*! :)

Every Sunday night, the editorial staff of the SI Golf Group conducts an e-mail roundtable. Check in every week for the unfiltered opinions of our writers and editors and join the conversation in the comments section below.
David Dusek, deputy editor, Golf.com: I wouldn't classify Robert Garrigus, William McGirt and Scott Piercy as a Murderers' Row, but clearly they've got some game. Piercy now has two PGA Tour wins. Forget the modern ball and equipment: Do you agree with the prevailing wisdom that says today's "journeymen" are better golfers than the middle-of-the-pack guys from 20, 30 and 40 years ago? Or does the lack of a dominant player (Woods, Nicklaus) just make it look like more guys are capable of winning on any given week?
Gary Van Sickle, senior writer, Sports Illustrated: Garrigus and Piercy are two of the top three bombers on Tour, so that sets them apart somewhat. Metal woods teach you to swing hard. Persimmon drivers taught you to hit the sweet spot or lose 20 or 30 yards in distance and send the ball way, way offline. No way to compare, really.
Have a question for Gary Van Sickle's mailbag? E-mail email@example.com or ask it on Facebook.
Jim Herre, managing editor, SI Golf Group: No, I don't. Guys today play an entirely different game from the one that was played decades ago. Most everyone worked the ball back in the day. Not anymore. The older guys had way more shots than today's players -- journeymen on up.
Jim Gorant, senior editor, Sports Illustrated: I'm not really in a position to make the comparison, but I will say that I suspect it's about the same. Different skill sets, but if you look through old lists of Tour winners, there are lots of guys you never heard of.
Rick Lipsey, writer-reporter, Sports Illustrated: Today's golfers, from journeymen to Tiger Woods, are almost all way more experienced, coached and trained than golfers of yesteryear. I caddied in Tour events for some of the old journeymen -- Ernie Gonzalez, Ted Schulz, Terry Snodgrass, to name a few -- and those guys didn't have the skill or the "I'm gonna take over the world" attitude that lower level players seem to have today. Heck, Nicklaus didn't get serious about golf until the age at which Tiger Woods was already hitting the New York Times front page.
Jeff Ritter, senior producer, Golf.com: I agree with Gary that it's hard to compare eras, especially when you factor equipment into the discussion. I think one of the strongest statistics that supports the case for parity today is the recent list of major champs: in the last 16 majors, we have 16 different winners. Several of those guys were journeymen until they won that first major (Oosthuizen, Yang, Glover, Cink). Come to think of it, some of them are still journeymen. So maybe today's middle-of-the-pack Tour pro is a little more dangerous than he used to be.
Alan Shipnuck, senior writer, Sports Illustrated: I don't know if today's players are better, but they are better prepared, with a team around them to help maximize their talent, and high-level competitive experience going back to the AJGA. No one learns to play on the PGA Tour anymore; they arrive as finished products.
Michael Bamberger, senior writer, Sports Illustrated: I think they play a different game. They play smashmouth golf.
Tell us what you think in the comments section below: Are today's journeymen better players than ever before?
Dusek: Ernie Els shot 70-72 to miss the cut at the Canadian Open. Expectations this week couldn't have been too high after his win at Royal Lytham and St. Annes, but how long do you expect his hangover to last, and what are your expectations for the Big Easy as we head down the stretch of the 2012 season. Another W?
Van Sickle: Great question. I'd expect Ernie to be rested and ready for the PGA. He'd dearly love to win the career Grand Slam, and he hasn't won a PGA. He's definitely a contender there.
Lipsey: If Ernie gets some rest and recharges, he could win again, for sure. He's not going to be the next Darren "Disappearing Act" Clarke.
Mark Godich, senior editor, Sports Illustrated: At his age, it's all about the majors with Ernie. And with his ball-striking ability, I fully expect him to be right back in the hunt at the PGA.
Ritter: Agreed. Ernie's motivated and riding the wave. All he has to do is putt, and he should be right there at Kiawah.
Herre: Will be interesting to see which way Els goes. Seems like he has worked hard this year to get his game together. That work paid off at Lytham. Will he keep pushing? I hope so.
Gorant: I think Ernie's going to need another course with the kind of subtle greens they had at Lytham, so he's probably not going to do it at Kiawah. I could see him doing well at Bethpage, though.
Mick Rouse, Golf.com contributor: I wouldn't be shocked by another win, but I don't expect Ernie to catch fire and win more than once more this season. I'd say about four weeks of pitter-pattering until he makes another statement.
Shipnuck: He's certainly going to have a better 12 months than Clarke did after his Open victory. Els has always said his goal is a career Slam. I think he'll come strong for the next 2 to 3 years in an effort to snag those missing majors.
Cameron Morfit, senior writer, Golf Magazine: I agree that Ernie will use his Open win as fuel. I don't count his Canadian Open missed cut. I'm more confident that he will be dangerous.
Tell us what you think in the comments section below: What do you expect from Els at the PGA? What about the rest of the season?

Man denies selling pot across from schoolBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | April 07,2014WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Windsor man accused of dealing drugs from his apartment across from the State Street Elementary School allegedly kept meticulous records of his sales to customers, according to police.
Clint Tetreault, 56, pleaded innocent this past week to misdemeanor charges of sale and possession of marijuana before he was released from the criminal courthouse in White River Junction on pre-trial conditions.
Neighbors contacted Windsor Police in mid-February and said Tetreault, who has an extensive criminal history, appeared to be selling drugs from his apartment on a daily basis from sunup until about 9 p.m. each evening, with a steady stream of visitors, according to an affidavit filed with the court. Tetreault would also get into cars parked in front of the school while it was in session to conduct what appeared to be brief hand-to-hand sales transactions, the affidavit said.
Windsor Police Sgt. James Beraldi said after receiving the complaint he set up the same evening in an unmarked police car on State Street and, with the help of other officers, began surveillance on the apartment building.
Less than an hour later police watched as a silver van sped away from the building at an excessive rate of speed which led Beraldi to pull it over a minute later on Main Street. Beraldi said the driver of the van, Brandi Crimmin, 30, was crying and immediately surrendered a pot pipe and an eighth-ounce bag of marijuana which she retrieved from her pocket.
Crimmin advised she had just purchased the marijuana from Clint Tetreault for $50 at 114 State St., Beraldi noted in his report. Based on that encounter, the sergeant said he applied for a search warrant and just after midnight, with the help of a police dog, four officers knocked on Tetreaults door, taking him into custody when he answered without incident.
Beraldi said Tetreault claimed he only had a small amount of marijuana in a bedroom dresser drawer that he kept for personal use and that he did not sell any drugs. After telling Tetreault that they didnt believe him on either point, police searched the residence and Beraldi said he found two ounces of marijuana in a large freezer baggie behind a couch in the living room, $3,120 in cash, six cellphones, four notebook computers, a glass bong, a plastic bag full of glass pipes, seven methadone pills and a green ledger.
Police photographs documenting the raid showed a penchant for neatness throughout the apartment, with some of the money that was seized carefully folded into tiny origami sailboats. Beraldi said that flair for organization extended to the green ledger book which he said appeared to list over 62 phone numbers/contacts, mostly of persons (Tetreault) likely has been selling narcotics to.
Tetreaults criminal record stretches back 40 years and includes multiple felony convictions for burglary, breaking and entering, grand larceny, forgery, arson, destruction of property with several violations of probation as well as misdemeanor convictions for possession of narcotics and stolen property.MORE IN This Just InRutland City Police said Friday evening the department's phone lines were down.

RAMALLAH, West Bank — For years, the United States and its Middle East allies were challenged by the rising might of the so-called Shiite crescent, a political and ideological alliance backed by Iran that linked regional actors deeply hostile to Israel and the West.

"To arm one enemy to fight another seems reasonable and expedient at first. In the long run, it might come back to haunt us. Afghanistan is a prime example."
Fidem, New York
But uprising, wars and economics have altered the landscape of the region, paving the way for a new axis to emerge, one led by a Sunni Muslim alliance of Egypt, Qatar and Turkey. That triumvirate played a leading role in helping end the eight-day conflict between Israel and Gaza, in large part by embracing Hamas and luring it further away from the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah fold, offering diplomatic clout and promises of hefty aid.

Written by Cory Twibell Friday, 22 July 2011 00:00
While the future of the New York Islanders' franchise might be on thin ice, it was business as usual for head coach Jack Capuano at the team's annual prospects mini-camp at the Nassau Coliseum on July 14.
Nassau County residents, who will have the chance to approve a $400 million bond on Aug. 1 to finance a new arena for the team, could possibly help remedy some of the uncertainty. Team owner Charles Wang publicly stated it's unlikely the Islanders will remain in Uniondale beyond 2015 – when the current building lease expires – if a new arena isn't approved.
The Islanders, who finished with the National Hockey League's fourth-worst record in 2010-2011, were without cornerstone players Mark Streit and Kyle Okposo for most of the year, not to mention a resident injury bug and a coaching change.
Former bench boss Scott Gordon, who had coached the team for the previous two seasons, was fired after a 4-10-3 start in the first 17 games last year but remained with the team as a special advisor to general manager Garth Snow. Capuano replaced Gordon as the interim head coach and finished with a record of 26-29-10 in 65 games, good enough to drop the "interim" tag for the upcoming season.
As far as injuries for the upcoming season, Capuano explained, "The last update that I received from our medical staff is that all of our guys are right on schedule to be ready when training camp starts. We've got some key guys coming back from injury last year and that's going to be instant leadership for our hockey team."
According to The Globe and Mail, the team had the most man-games lost to injury with 512 (the next closest team was Colorado with 385); however, injuries opened roster spots for a handful of younger players to contribute. John Tavares, the highly touted Canadian prospect taken with first overall selection in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, led the team with 67 points and line-mates PA Parenteau and Matt Moulson tallied 53 points each. Speedy forward Michael Grabner, who was claimed off waivers at the beginning of the season, was a rookie of the year finalist after tallying 34 goals – eighth best in the NHL – and 18 assists for 52 points.
"I will say that we were very pleased with the second half of last year and the progress that we made. We've got a lot of good young players and there's no reason to think that we can't start like we finished last year," said Capuano, whose son, Max, was invited to the prospects mini-camp.
For the second year in a row, the team selected fifth overall in the NHL's Entry Draft, and they decided on another crafty Canadian center, Ryan Strome. The 18-year-old will likely need another year of junior hockey before joining the Islanders, but Capuano sees a bright future for the young man.
"Hands are a big asset for Ryan, his puck-handling skills and his skill set in general. Today I saw him shoot the puck a bit more, obviously he's got a quick release; he shoots in stride and his head is always up. There are a lot of things he does that make you forget what age he's at right now," Capuano explained.
Another young player, Brock Nelson, was selected at the end of the first round last year and came to camp this year turning a few heads in the process.
"Brock Nelson, I think he put on 12 pounds after his freshman year at North Dakota. You can see a little bit more power in his stride and where he came from in a full year, he's only going to get better. He's one of the guys if you asked me who sticks out a little bit, I can see that for sure," added Capuano.
Taken with the 12th overall selection in 2009, defenseman Calvin de Haan overcame a shoulder injury and may be ready for his first stint in the NHL.
"Calvin's at a point now where he's a confident player. He went through some injuries and battled back and he's going to use this mini-camp as a time where he can use this next month and a half to get ready for September. I like Calvin's attitude where he is mentally; physically he's in good shape. He wants to make a statement and come September he's going to have that opportunity."
Capuano, who said he relies heavily on his scouts for reports on amateur players, offered his take on the state of the game here on Long Island as several local players were invited to camp.
"It goes to show you that in this area obviously the youth hockey coaches and high school coaches have done a great job with the kids. There's a lot of hockey on the Island and they should be proud of that," the coach said.
And while the Aug. 1 vote will further reveal the state of hockey on Long Island moving forward, Capuano spoke highly of his time spent in Uniondale with the team and with its loyal fan base.
"It's been great. I was here six years ago as an assistant coach and spent a lot of time in Bridgeport. I like it because of the fans; obviously they're passionate people and so am I, so there's a lot in common.
"They want a hardworking team. They want a team that win, lose or draw, they're going to play hard every single night and give the effort. That's something that we owe the fans. I love Long Island and I can't say enough about it. Well the traffic is tough at times, but other than that, I really enjoy it," said Capuano.

YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: It's official – Brooklyn's last Blockbuster, located at 6906 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst, is closing its doors as the franchise continues its retreat from brick-and-mortar storefronts.
The store will permanently shut its doors April 7, and this week kicked off a store-wide sale on movies, video games and miscellaneous items. Signs inside the location note that even the furniture and equipment are for sale in a business liquidation that seems to leave nothing off the table.
The storefront became the last location in the borough – and one of the last in the city – after the 3752 Nostrand Avenue location in Sheepshead Bay shuttered almost exactly a year ago.
At its peak, Blockbuster had more than 4,000 stores across the nation, with hundreds in New York City. But facing financial trouble, in part because of digital competitors and management issues, the company declared bankruptcy in 2010 and was acquired by Dish Network, which announced in 2011 that they would only keep 500 storefronts open throughout the country.
Keep reading to find out more about the closure, and how customers are reacting.

November 29, 2014
Police on UK's campus remain on alert after getting two strange reports, both from the main library on campus.
Investigators say a man was crawling under tables and puncturing the feet of students with a sharp object.
Students are starting to go in and out of the library by the numbers, with finals quickly approaching.
Most want to put their best foot forward, spending extra time studying. But the recent crime has them concerned.
For many UK students, news of crime in their library is nothing they expected on campus.
"It kind of makes me want to watch my feet! It's odd that someone would be playing with somebody's feet," says freshman Amber Hatchell.
Odd, but true.
UK Police say--twice--victims have reported a person crawling under their study tables in the basement of W.T. Young Library, and then puncturing them in the foot with an unknown object.
Students admit, it seems funny at first.
"Well, it sounds really comical, but honestly, it's really scary because it's such a ridiculous thing. Somebody's climbing under a table and stabbing someone in the foot," says freshman Andrew Trower.
"I was scared. We're now having assaults happen in our campus library? The weirdness of the assault is creepy," says sophomore Scotty Stutts.
Campus police are reviewing surveillance video, hopefully a step forward in finding out who did this.
As thousands of students prepare for their end of the year exams, they'll be on their toes.
"I won't be in the basement, if you know what I mean," Trower says.
"I've thought about putting on my steel-toed boots now," says Stutts.
The "foot stabber" is described as a white male, between 5' 8" and 6' tall, with short hair. People who saw him say he was wearing a hat and had on bright orange shoes or shorts.
The suspect will face fourth degree assault charges.

SOL test results mixed for Henrico students
Students exceed state averages in 19 of 33 tests
Results are in from last year's Virginia Standards of Learning tests, and the numbers for Henrico County public school students are mixed.
Overall, Henrico students improved their average SOL pass rates in 14 of their 33 test subjects during 2011-12, when compared with the previous year's results, but suffered decreases in 13 other subjects. Pass rates remained the same in six subjects.
Henrico students fared best in history (improving in six of the eight tests, when compared to the 2010-11 results, while remaining the same in one) and reading (improving in four of the seven tests, while remaining the same in one).
But they – like other students statewide – struggled with the new mathematics tests, which last year included new, more rigorous standards adopted by the state's Board of Education in 2009.
Average math pass rates in Henrico fell in eight of the nine SOL tests – including significantly in the third-grade test (a 67 percent pass rate, down from 93 percent the previous year) and eighth-grade test (a 41 percent pass rate, down from 82 percent the previous year).
Sixth-grade students were the only ones to improve from their previous math results, jumping from a pass rate of 61 percent in 2010-11 to 72 percent in 2011-12.
In math, Henrico students fared worse than the state average in the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade math tests, as well as in the Algebra 1 test.
Overall, the county's students exceeded the state pass rates in 19 of the 33 SOL tests (four in English, six in history, four in math and five in science) but fell short of the state averages in 12 other categories.
"As school divisions align curriculum and instruction with the new standards and focus on strengthening students' problem-solving skills, I am confident that we will see higher achievement in mathematics and more graduates who are truly college and career ready," Board of Education President David M. Foster said.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell agreed.
"Raising standards was the right thing to do and in the long-term interest of Virginia students and our economy," McDonnell said. "I commend all of our teachers and students for their excellent efforts in adapting to and embracing these challenging new standards. This is a necessary step in ensuring that Virginia students are ready to excel in our globally competitive economy. It is a challenge we must meet if we're going to succeed in the economy of the decades ahead."
Hanover County students outperformed their Henrico counterparts in 27 tests, while Chesterfield students scored better than Henrico students in 19 tests.
SOL science results in Henrico were relatively stable, with pass rates in biology and Earth science up slightly (to 94 and 92 percent, respectively) and third-grade, fifth-grade and chemistry results remaining the same (92, 93 and 97 percent, respectively).
Writing scores were up from 90 to 92 percent at the secondary school level, down from 89 to 87 percent at the eighth-grade level and stable at the fifth-grade level at 89 percent

CCC seeks donations for food pantry

After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

Lala launches online music store with its head in the clouds
You can download albums or individual tracks of DRM-free music from Lala just as you can from iTunes or Amazon MP3. The company has worked out deals with all of the major labels plus a bunch of independent artists. So while not you might not be able to find every song you're looking for, there's plenty to choose from. Individual tracks run from around $.80 to $.99.
But here's what makes Lala different. The website features a built in music player. You can listen to any song on the site for free. Once. If you want to listen again, you have to pay $.10 for a "web song." You can then listen to that track any time you want from any internet connected device that can access the website. In other words, you can buy some albums for a buck or less, as long as you don't feel the need to download the music.
To get you started, all users get 50 free credits for web songs. So you can check out the service without paying a dime. You do need to register for an account, but you don't have to give up any credit card or PayPal information, so you won't accidentally buy something without knowing about it.
So far so good. But there are a few problems. First, the service is only available in the US. Second, while the downloaded tracks are DRM-free, the web tracks can only be listened to on Lala. If the company goes under next year and you've spent $100 on web songs, I doubt anyone's going to refund your money. Sure, you could download MP3 versions of all the songs. Your $.10 per song will go towar the purchase price. But that means you'd have to pay as much as $900 just to save backup copies of the songs you've already paid for in this hypothetical example.
Finally, there are plenty of other ways to listen to music online - for free. If you want to go the legal route, there are ad-supported services like MySpace Music. And if you don't care so much about legalities, there are services like SeeqPod. While Lala does offer a nice interface and a decent music library, it's hard to compete with free.

Research Tips
Identify & Develop Your Topic
- Identify main concepts or keywords
- Ask the questions:
- Who?
- Where? Geographic Location?
- When? Historical Aspects?
- Why?
Searching Multiple Topics
Research often spans multiple topics and disciplines. For example when conducting research on a novel you might approach your research this way :
- Search for information on the novel
- Search for information on the alternative topic
- Search for information on the alternative topic & the novel
Refining Your Topic
- Based on your initial exploration, how might you broaden or narrow your topic?
- Try alternative search terms
- Use the built-in tools provided!
- Ask your professor or librarian
- Using tools within the tools, like subject terms, search history, dates, and thesauri in databases to limit or expand your results
Evaluate Relevancy of Materials
- Initial Appraisal
- First appraise a source by examining the description of the source.
- Author–Who is the author? What are their credentials? Is this their area of expertise?
- Date of Publication–Is the information up-to-date?
- Edition or Revision–Is this a first edition? Further editions indicate a source has been revised. Many printings can mean it's become a standard source.
- Publisher–Who is the press publishing the work? A University Press is more likely to be scholarly.
- Title of Journal–Is it scholarly or popular? This is important because it indicates the level of complexity of the information.
- Content Analysis
- After initial appraisal examine the actual source. For books, scan the table of contents and the index. For journals, look at the designated subjects.
- Intended Audience–Is it too elementary or too technical?
- Objectivity–-Does it seem well researched? Notes or citations? Biased?
- Coverage–What is the scope? Is it updating other sources, substantiating other materials you've read, or adding new information? Does it extensively cover the topic or only marginally?
- Writing Style–Is it logically organized? Are the main points clearly presented?
- After initial appraisal examine the actual source. For books, scan the table of contents and the index. For journals, look at the designated subjects.
Remember to:
- Take notes
- Remember to cite where you found the information
- Write down what terms you used when a search was successful
Think about the different kinds of questions you need to answer.


text: On March 20, 2002, at 2000 universal coordinated time, a Bell 206 B III helicopter, Venezuelan registration YV-324C, was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power near Anaco, State of Ansoatequi, in the Republic of Venezuela. The commercial pilot, sole occupant of the aircraft, sustained minor injuries, while one person on the ground was fatally injured and another sustained minor injuries. The helicopter, serial number 2266, was owned and operated by Aerotecnica S.A., of Caracas, Venezuela. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the local on-demand air taxi flight for which a visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan was filed. The helicopter dropped off the 2 observers involved in a routine pipeline patrol at a heliport near Buena Vista, and was being repositioned back to home base in Anaco, when the accident occurred. The helicopter came to rest on its right side and there was no post-impact fire. The accident investigation is under the control and jurisdiction of the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Ivax Corp. of Miami has received good news from the Food and Drug Administration about its generic version of the diabetes drug Glucophage, but not the news the company ultimately needs to get it on the market.
The FDA told Ivax that the generic, in five strengths, has been found to be equivalent to the brand-name drug and declared it "approvable." But the agency won't issue final approval until issues related to pediatric use of the medication are resolved.

Fabulous colour ways and I'm not surprised you wanted to re-do the design as it's a great composition.
