How many of you out there remember a time when ambulance cots were nothing more than aluminum tubes with what seemed like welded grocery cart wheels? And that the ability to perform a dead lift by you and your partner was the only way your patents were going to be wheeled into a locked position of your hearse … er, ambulance. Jeez! You are old.
Now that your vertebrae from C1 to L5 has the consistency of peanut brittle, isn't it nice to know, just prior to receiving your first disability check, that your generation of ambulance drivers paved the way for today's back-saving cot technology?
They're called gurneys, prams, litters, stretchers, cots or even trolleys by the British—who also, by the way, invented the double-decker stretcher. Whatever you choose to call them, they represent the foundation of our work. I know many of you resent that portrayal of our profession, but let's be honest here. Portable ambulance beds symbolize what we do—transport the sick, injured and annoying.
Maybe we resent how movies and TV series (specifically cop programs) often portray our profession, using the stretcher as the principal backdrop in its depiction of EMS. Whether the patient is alive or dead, the ambulance crew entering these scripted scenes never once introduce themselves to anyone around them, never asks any questions, never applies any skills or never uses firefighters to lift the body. They just silently come in and pick up the body, with the cameras primarily focusing on stretcher use—specifically creating scenes in which it's loaded with the patient or corpse (seriously?) into the ambulance.
The ambulance then leaves the scene—often only after the cop gives the medics permission by slapping the palm of his hand twice on the back windows of the rear doors.
Maybe that's why my scene times are so long. I religiously wait to hear that consensual whack from an officer certified in the art of basic CPR before putting the rig in drive.
Maybe this is why we paid little attention to gurney technology and backbone preservation. We wanted to prove our worth with equipment that truly symbolized our potential to become worthy of highly profitable Medicare/Medicaid reimbursements.
Thank goodness some folks out there—specifically Dick Ferneau and El Bourgraf—were looking out for our spines while we were too busy looking out for our egos. These two party animals happened to be watching their secretary iron a dress for her daughter. As you can imagine, this turned them on … to the idea of developing an adjustable stretcher that could be raised and lowered similar to an ironing board.
They didn't stop there. They not only went on to develop multi-level, adjustable stretchers; scoop stretchers; stair chairs; and roll-in, hydroelectric stretcher technology, but they also helped fold the secretary's laundry.
I truly appreciate their insight in creating more than one method of moving patients from point A to point B (Unless point B is on divert, in which case point C would be your appropriate destination … until diverted to point D, then E, then F, then G).
They foresaw the need for multiple means of patient transport, because we often need to move progressively from one transfer device to another. The patient may be placed on a wheel-less backboard, scoop, stair-chair or butt bag (basket stretcher), which we hopefully navigate for only a short distance before securing them to a portable gurney. The gurney is then wheeled a short distance where the primary (wheeled) cot is placed on yet another wheeled device (ambulance).
Yeah, baby. We've come a long way from the early days of crews who didn't properly latch the cot at a level where they wanted their patient to be. This was always a real crowd pleaser and a great method of converting a patient out of v-tach … or more often the case, putting them in v-tach.
Old medics also remember when stretchers didn't have tailored comfort or flair to their design. Today, stretchers have substance and style. Our wheeled tubular frames are now aerodynamically sleek and come in a variety of colors and fragrances. They can position themselves at any angle or elevation and can withstand the astronomical weight of patients not seen since … since your last shift. I have no doubt Theodore Gurney, the patented inventor of the horse-drawn ambulance cab, would be proud from whence we came regarding EMS patient transport.
Until next time, don't forget to rotate your gurney's tires every 1,000 miles, and keep those cot chains readily available during winter months. JEMS

Daily breaking news and news the liberal media doesn't want you to know, won't report, or just daily news issues.
Americans for many years have had to rely on left leaning biased news reporting from liberal media such as NBC, ABC, and CBS and the New York Times. As most of these outlets struggle to remain on the air and in print, the new media is flourishing and people are hearing both sides of the issues. This forum will provide people with a place to discuss daily news issues of any kind or discuss articles not printed or aired by the liberal news outlets.

"service was inconsistent. Take out salad exceptionally good, meal in the dining room, slow poor service. My roomate got sick/repulsed when she bit into a cardomen shell which reminded her of eating insects. I cook with cardomen and I at best biting into a seed might be acceptable, but a shell is not. There was kleenex not removed from near the trash can in the room. The tub was dirty, the water stopper was broken, and the water drained very slowly (room 207) The beds were very comfortable. so some things were good and others were not so good."

New Year's Resolutions: Ohio State Buckeyes
Dec 29, 2013, 7:00 PM EST
Over the course of the holiday week, we at College Basketball Talk will be detailing what we believe will be the New Year's Resolutions of some of the nation's most talented, most disappointing, and thoroughly enigmatic teams. What can we say, we're in a giving mood.
Who else made Resolutions? Click here to find out.
WHAT DOES OHIO STATE PROMISE TO DO MORE OF?: Better three-point shooting from Aaron Craft and Shannon Scott
- Why it will happen: One of the biggest reasons that Ohio State's offense gets bogged down is that the Buckeyes' starting back court has been awful from beyond the arc this season. Aaron Craft and Shannon Scott are hitting 27.8% and 29.7% from three, respectively. But Craft has never shot this poorly in his collegiate career, and while Scott has never been a great shooter, he's not a guy with poor form. He should be better than he is. More importantly, they are going to get some open looks as defenses slough off of them.
- Why it won't happen: Craft has consistently gotten worse every year in college. He shot 37.7% from three as a freshman, numbers that dipped to 36.9% as a sophomore and 30.0% as a junior. Entering the season, Scott was 12-for-51 from three on his career. Take away the 4-for-7 that Scott shot in the season-opener against Morgan State, he's 23.3% from three. Those two should be better than they are, but there's not a lot of reason to be optimistic.
WHAT DOES OHIO STATE SWEAR THEY WILL DO LESS OF?: Inconsistency from LaQuinton Ross
- Why it will happen: The Buckeyes are really good defensively. How good? They are No. 1 in KenPom's defensive efficiency ratings and they have one of the best defensive back courts in recent memory in Aaron Craft and Shannon Scott. Where they struggle is scoring the ball. The Buckeyes jut don't have a ton of offensive weapons. Ross is the best, but he can be inconsistent. Through the first five games of the season, Ross averaged 6.2 points and shot 22.7% from the floor. That included a three game stretch where he scored seven points and shot 2-for-20. The last eight games, Ross is averaging 17.1 points and shooting 53.1% from floor and 48.5% from three.
- Why it won't happen: Ross is quite talented, but he's never been a modicum of consistency. In fact, I don't think that it's crazy to say that the last eight games has been the longest stretch of consistently high-level basketball that Ross has ever played.

Hollywood Tans, the nation's largest chain of tanning salons, turns dermises gold with a special alchemic process known as Tanetics. Skin specialists consider each customer's tanning goal, skin tone, and skin sensitivity before helping them choose the perfect skin-shading procedure. Four clean and comfortable UV tanning-booth options filter out most pestiferous UVB rays while speedily darkening pigment; five 11-minute bouts ($39) inside Hollywood Tans' HT42 booth is enough to leave any pelt polished with a glossy base tan. For Daphnes fleeing Apollo, a Mystic spray tan booth ($50 for two applications) depales pasty parchment with a misty coat of bronze that lasts 5–7 days. The Mystic's cartridges can be changed to allow users great flexibility in choosing their preferred skin patinas.
Just because a tan is fake doesn't mean it has to be unnatural. At Nana-Bella Nail and Beauty Lounge, technicians use an organic solution to bronze bodies. In addition to their traditional spray tan, they offer an express treatment?ideal for last-minute occasions as it dries in just one to three hours?and an Island tan that's designed to imbue a darker glow. Optional shimmer shots infuse the tanning solution with a sparkle that's more attractive than wearing a suit made from skinned disco balls. Aestheticians also accentuate skin with waxing services; the full-body selection includes legs, bikini, chest, and underarms.
Wonderful Beauty Day Spa invites visitors to leave behind their daily stresses and responsibilities and relax with facials, massages, and ear candling. Guests unwind with calming aromatherapy massages accompanied by hot stones that melt away pain and purify their skin with custom cleansing facials. In addition, spa professionals work away pent-up tension with gentle foot rubs and relieve sinus pressure with ear-candling treatments.
A team of highly trained professionals with advanced education in the latest styles and techniques. Our staff has been together for many years working side by side to create a pleasant, relaxed, comfortable ,atmosphere while maintaining the highest quality customer service.

I got interested in the Secondary Gift Card market in 2003 after reading about Swapagift.com when they first launched. The Secondary Gift Card market is the 'buying and selling of unwanted gift cards'. I thought the idea was a good one. Basically, if a user has a gift card they do not want – they could swap it with someone whom has a gift card that they do want. Ironically, at the same time I just bought GiftCards.com and was thinking of services to add to the site. This was one of the ideas I thought about. The gift card industry grew, in fact gift cards are the #1 gift since 2007 (1). I ended up buying Swapagift.com in 2008 from MJ and Mike Kelly. That year gift card sales were about $91B (3) and unredeemed gift card values about $9 billion. I figured anyone can get a gift card at Wal-mart and there was no reason for them to go to GiftCards.com, but if they can go to GiftCards.com and buy a discounted gift card – it would be worth the time. The market has grown and in 2011 it was the largest since 2007 (2). Merchants were initially resistant to letting websites offer the buying and selling of their gift cards on the Secondary Market.
Here are some facts about the Secondary Gift Card market:
(Sources: Nilson Report, Tower Group, Dan Horn, and NewBold Corporation)
If Merchants permit the Secondary Gift card market to exist, and they support it some benefits are:

"If you could call this place something, it would be tantamount, in Spanish, to that sitcom in English where everybody knows your name -- Cheers," says Miami-Dade Fire Rescue's Lt. Eddie Ballester. The firefighter and paramedic, stationed five blocks away, is a regular at this window. Over the years Brothers to the Rescue leader José Basulto has scarfed not a few pastelitos at this locale while pondering his next move. Miami-Dade County Manager Merrett Stierheim also has been spotted here, along with several of his assistants. Univision's answer to Walter Cronkite, newsman Guillermo Benitez, is another familiar face. Policemen, businessmen, plumbers, retirees, and Harley-Davidson aficionados all make this their chitchat haven. On a recent Saturday, while waiting for his coffee and Danish, Ballester talked about saving lives with Retavase, a new clot-busting medication for heart-attack victims currently being tested at his station. You never know what new things you'll learn at the Universidad de la Carreta.

Silverdome's New Owner To Be Announced
Listen to the Story
The Silverdome is up for sale, but the aging stadium in Pontiac, Mich., hasn't attracted many buyers. The economically depressed city is to announce Friday who the winning bidder was — or even if anyone bid at all.
Copyright © 2009 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
There's a place in Michigan that has hosted a pope, the Super Bowl, even professional wrestlers. The Pontiac Silverdome is now just a large empty house in a city short of cash.
As Rob St. Mary from member station WDET reports, it's up for sale.
ROB ST. MARY: The Pontiac Silverdome is one of the largest professional sports stadiums in the U.S. and is former home of the Detroit Lions football team and the Pistons basketball team
(Soundbite of Auction Network video)
Unidentified Man: Thanks to the city of Pontiac, you have the opportunity to own this internationally noted structure, its contents, and the land surrounding it.
ST. MARY: Or you did if you got your sealed bid in before yesterday, according to this video by the Auction Network. The 127 acre site has sat vacant since 2002 and it costs Pontiac over a million and a half dollars a year in upkeep. Earlier attempts to sell the Silverdome have failed, making it one of metro Detroit's largest white elephants.
After Pontiac landed in receivership this year, the state-appointed financial manager put the stadium up for auction. In a state with the nation's highest unemployment rate, incoming Pontiac Mayor Leon Jukowski says he'd like to see the 34-year-old dome become a beacon to a better tomorrow.
Mayor LEON JUKOWSKI (Pontiac): I'd like to see us get a $100 million and have somebody develop it and bring so many jobs that we can't even fill them all.
(Soundbite of laughter)
ST. MARY: The winner of the Silverdome auction could be announced sometime today.

Re:IQ of congress (159 comments)
For instance, can you explain why the polar caps grew last year (both of them) during "global warming" (or Climate Change)?
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the polar caps will either grow or shrink (or both!) every single year, probably based largely on the local temperatures, amount of precipitation, etc. The real question would be how much they grew versus the average growth, and whether they are growing less than they used to. Saying that global warming doesn't exist because the polar caps grew last year is not evidence. What if the polar caps grow by an average of 10 feet every year, but last year they only grew 6 inches? They still grew, but that fact alone is not evidence that would contradict any of the claims regarding climate change.
For example, according to this data, it looks like the sea ice had below average growth for 2012 and 2014 between August and December, even though the rate is still close to 2 standard deviations from the average growth between 1981 and 2010. Farther down that page, it looks like the growth for all years after 2010 is below the average for 1981-2010, though still relatively close. This is the climate system of a planet we're talking about though, if you're expecting huge dramatic changes from one year to the next you're probably going to be disappointed unless we can get China to really accelerate all of those coal plants being built. Climate change looks like a long-term event, especially right around the times where our damaging effects on the planet are just beginning to overcome the planet's ability to regenerate. But don't worry, the more shit we add to the atmosphere year over year, the faster things will start to change once the planet isn't able to keep up.
Or Hurricanes lull in the Atlantic when the Global Warming Alarmists (like yourself) were spouting (especially after Sandy) all about how awful Global Warming was causing these horrible hurricanes?
If it's a true statement to say that climate change and higher temperatures in general will cause more powerful hurricanes, does that necessarily mean that every year there will be a large number of very powerful hurricanes?
I have doubts, serious doubts, mainly because all the horrible predictions made by all the popular spokespeople have not come true. The polar caps, the hurricanes, the extreme HOT weather just hasn't occurred the way "science" predicted it would.
Fear not my doubting friend, because scientific predictions are getting better and more accurate all the time. Here's a video which talks about the new OCO-2 satellite and how it will help us visualize what is going on in order to make more accurate predictions. Note how effective the planet is at reducing all of that CO2 in the atmosphere, it's actually very impressive. But what happens when our CO2 output starts to be more than the planet can handle, where every year begins with just a little more CO2 than the previous year? Good things aren't going to happen. So, where is that point? Have we already hit it? What if we have? How would we know? A couple CO2-monitoring satellites in space will probably be a good place to start answering those questions, so expect data from those starting next year.
That simulation is interesting to watch, but it's just a simulation of what happened in 2006. One major point where the simulation fails: at the beginning (1/1/2006) there is virtually no CO2 in the atmosphere, and you see it build up. At the end of the year (12/31/2006) there is quite a bit of CO2. I suspect that the fact that the simulation begins with very little CO2 is more for illustrative purposes of the simulation and does not actually imply that most years begin with little to no CO2. It actually looks like the opposite, winter months are when CO2 peaks because all of the plants are sleeping.
Uh, anyway, programmers in Congress... yeah, I'm for that. In fact, let's kick out every member of Congress and get entirely new people there, altogether.
Re:IQ of congress (159 comments)
as long as they have debugging experience
Don't get your hopes up. Despite what the summary says, the article says the complete opposite. The newly elected members do not have any "coders" (god I hate that word), but they do contain 2 people with CS degrees. One of them went to work for the CIA on counterterrorism, followed by working for a cybersecurity company, and the other joined the Air Force and then became a lawyer. They are not software developers, they are people who majored in computer science.
Re:Duh (222 comments)
Yeah, I'm sure the AAA titles getting released in 2020 are going to look just awesome on the PS4 hardware compared with a PC.
I built my last machine in 2011 when Skyrim launched. It was powerful enough to run Skyrim at 1920 x 1200 with several high-resolution texture mods, sky mods, lighting mods, etc with maximum settings all around. Sure, it cost a bit all told, but it also has SSD drives, a 2TB RAID array, and other things not required for only gaming. But I also picked a system configuration that supports dual video cards. I only got one video card at the time, but it cost around $500 or $600. But the next time I need to upgrade, all I need to do is buy the same model of video card (which should be running around $200 at that point), plug it in in SLI mode, and I've nearly doubled the gaming performance of the machine for a couple hundred bucks. That should give me 7 or 8 years of maximum-settings gaming on the same machine. We can meet up again in 2020 and figure out whether new games look better on your PS4 or my machine.

Re:Astonishing grasp of the obvious (350 comments)
Unless you can articulate a reason why the wedding band doesn't make a difference, but race does
The obvious one is that a woman can choose whether or not to be married, but not her race. Another one is that a woman who is not wearing a ring on the fourth finger of her left hand is not necessarily unmarried.
I can't believe I'm discussing this. Anyone who is going to cast their almighty judgement on other people based on factors like marital status or race is an unmitigated dick. I'll leave it at that.

Great Scott! Over 700% of the weight of the plant is vitamin A!
Re:two bounces (223 comments)
The first bounce is pretty crazy to think about too. It landed, went 4cm into the surface, and bounced back up. It took an hour for it to stop moving away from the comet and start falling back down, and in that hour it only managed to travel about a kilometer. The entire thing is so otherworldly. Check out this picture, it might be my favorite so far. It's from 10km up and looks across the surface, and you can see a haze of some gas or dust plus the stars in the background. I've never seen anything that looks like that, it's just amazing.
Re:Astonishing grasp of the obvious (350 comments)
If it makes no difference to alter factors like marital status between the two pictures, then it must also make no difference to consider factors like race
That's a non-sequitor. Saying that whether or not a woman is married should have no effect on whether or not her breastfeeding in public is inappropriate does not imply that there are no factors at all. I'll also refer you back to the sentence in my post that you left out of your quote. You could substitute race into that sentence instead of jewelry and it would still apply.
Re:Astonishing grasp of the obvious (350 comments)
Are you really saying there's no difference between a married couple having a baby and a single woman having a baby?
In the context of whether or not a picture of that woman breastfeeding their child is considered to be inappropriate? No, there's no difference. A breastfeeding woman is a breastfeeding woman regardless of whether or not she chooses to wear jewelry on her fingers. If a person sees a picture of a woman without a ring breastfeeding, and they think the picture is inappropriate, but you put a ring on her finger and now they think the picture is ok, then that person is an asshole.
Re:Astonishing grasp of the obvious (350 comments)
If the presence or lack of a wedding band influences your reaction to that picture then it sounds like you're just trying to justify your bias. Breastfeeding in public has exactly zero to do with marital status.
Re:Hold on (188 comments)
That's what I thought. About 15 minutes ago on the live feed they had someone in the control room say that the harpoons did not fire and that Philae was not anchored to the comet. Hopefully they get it anchored, and hopefully they already got a couple pictures from the descent and landing.

There are few jobs which match for most individuals
So then why should the individuals be the ones to dictate the terms of the job? If I had 5 job openings and 100 qualified candidates I would expect people to work the way I want them to work, I wouldn't feel like I need to bend to their needs. If they really want a job, and there are a ton of other candidates, then it's up to them to make themselves as appealing as possible to the potential employer. Hopefully they learned that in their middle-school-level economics classes.
Re:But DC is different,no? (588 comments)
Saying "pot smokers think it is a right to smoke anywhere they damn well please and fuck everyone else" is a little different than saying "I've seen pot smokers who don't care who is around them." It's kind of like saying that everyone who drinks alcohol also drives drunk. Sure, some people don't give a shit. That doesn't mean that all (or even the vast majority) behave that way. There are always going to be inconsiderate assholes regardless of what they're doing.
The part about you projecting was about you saying that BVis suggested something that he did not suggest. That you read it that way indicates that you are projecting, because you already (clearly) have a bias or perception that pot smokers don't care about who they're around just because you've seen some people display that kind of attitude. It doesn't mean that's the general attitude.
Re:But DC is different,no? (588 comments)
Interestingly you have suggested that pot smokers think it is a right to smoke anywhere they damn well please and fuck everyone else.
I think you're projecting. He didn't suggest anything like that. What he suggested is that you could go over to someone's house, they might be smoking pot in some room, you walk through or spend some time in the room (which is your choice), and maybe you'll show up as positive on a test. If you think that "being around people smoking" somehow equates to "a right to smoke anywhere they damn well please and fuck everyone else", then you might have a bit of a bias.

Reuters: iTunes Music Store Europe next year & iTunes Windows update
"'We're clearly working on it (but) I think we'll do it next year,' he told journalists on the fringes of the annual Apple Expo in Paris. He said it took time to sort out distribution rights with the music publishers who own the songs.
Jobs reiterated that, before the end of the year, Apple would bring iTunes and the online music store which has sold 10 million songs since its launch four months ago, to owners of personal computers that run on Microsoft's Windows operating system.
'We're very much on track to execute iTunes for Windows,' he said."

Fab Flash: Nina Garcia to Guest Star on Ugly Betty
by Fashion 9 Reactions 0 Shares Print
When Ugly Betty returns with new episodes on April 24, it may seem like Project Runway is taking the spotlight.
PR judge Nina Garcia and, as earlier reported, PR season four winner Christian Siriano are both making cameos on the campy fashion show. No word yet on what roles they play, but I'm sure curious. They follow behind Project Runway ringleader Tim Gunn, who appeared on the show as a fashion reporter last February. Fun!

Any cell phone can fetch sports scores, but with Sanyo's MVP you can follow every play, manage your fantasy team, and watch the latest video highlights. Sanyo designed the phone for ESPN's new cellular service, set to launch nationwide this Super Bowl Sunday. It piggybacks on Sprint's broadband network to deliver a SportsCenter-like experience at high speeds. The best part is the icon-based Sideline menu, which lets you jump from, say, live polls to your favorite team's homepage. The handset has some nice highlights too: It comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera, speakerphone, stereo sound, a voice recorder, and an MP3 player.
The MVP isn't cheap, and pricing plans for ESPN Mobile start at $65 a month, which includes 35MB of data transfer. Plus, heavy users will probably want to upgrade the miniSD memory card from 16MB to 1GB ($105). But no other phone is optimized to download postgame video interviews, the Monday Night Football ring tone, and the Madden NFL 06 video game.

Recommended runes for Jungling Udyr?
Yes. Don't jungle with him. His Turtle stance is great for this, but you're plain wasting his other abilities.
But..I like jungling ;-;
I hate junglers... its a pvp game not pve... people say its a viable option... well yeh if you want to let another team feed off the person you just left to solo 2... if you want pve choose a different game.
Jungling is a very team intensive strategy, and if the guy soloing against two isn't a total n00b he should be completely fine. Especially when you come in and clear his lane of enemies every time they push to his tower. Jungling only fails when you have bad players on your own team that can't handle a 2v1 lane situation.

Shameful politics: The predictable gun control vote
No, the vote results were not shameful. They were expected by everyone, including the President, who helped to ensure the outcome by engaging in genuinely shameful behavior for months.
After the Newtown horror, there was a real opportunity to bring people together to pass meaningful laws that would reduce the chances of a similar event occurring. Obama was uninterested in doing that. He saw one opportunity only: Bury the Republican Party and the National Rifle Association beside the Newtown victims.
This is the campaign he began in November. Without the slightest hint of shame, he led an entirely emotional appeal to pass legislation - any legislation - that would increase federal restrictions on firearms, regardless of the restrictions' effectiveness. He brought forth surviving Sandy Hook Elementary School students and their grieving parents. As with his health care crusade, it mattered little what the legislation actually did. What mattered was political victory.
That is why the public and most legislators, as has happened so often during Obama's presidency, were kept in the dark about the details of the bills while people with emotionally wrenching stories were put on display by the administration and its allies. The Toomey-Manchin background-check amendment, rushed to a vote, would not have prevented Newtown or Aurora or Tucson.
This is no way to govern. This is no way to lead. But it is the Obama way.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, put it well when he responded to the President's melodramatic outburst by saying, "The President could have taken the high road, could have said, 'Ok now that we have been unsuccessful in these measures, let's move on to an area where we know there is consensus, and that has to do with the mental health element in so many of these mass gun tragedies, but instead, he chose to take the low road. And I agree with him, it was a truly shameful day."

High school boys basketball: Alta rallies past Bingham in 5A first round
Ravell Call, Deseret News
Blog: Poised Trevor Hill leads Alta to victory
OGDEN — By nature, coaches are usually nervous before games, but throw in a 9:30 a.m. tipoff and it's easy for them to be even more paranoid about how their players will respond.
Alta coach Jim Barker certainly had reason to be concerned Monday morning at the Dee Events Center when his team fell behind 12 points to rival Bingham in the opening game of the 5A state tournament.
Barker believed, however, that his team would be fine if they just settled down.
"In the state tournament you don't know how your team is going to react, cause you get kids who've never been here before and never played in the big arenas. I knew if they calmed down we'd be fine," Barker said.
The Hawks finally started to settle down midway through the quarter, and then methodically chipped away at the lead the rest of the game on their way to a 65-61 come-from-behind victory over Bingham.
Down 10 after the first quarter and then seven at the half, Alta tied the score twice in the third quarter and twice more in the fourth quarter before finally taking its first lead, 51-49, on a Landon Albrecht layup with 4:23 remaining.
"Our coach just told us to stay patient, to not get it all in one possession, just keep chipping away at it," said Trevor Hill, who led the Hawks with 17 points to go along with his five rebounds and three assists.
Zach Rollins extended the lead to 54-49 on a 3-pointer 23 seconds later, and Alta never trailed the rest of the way as it knocked down 11 of 12 free throws in the final two minutes.
Those free throws were vital because Bingham never quit. Down 57-52, Ryan Turner knocked down a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 57-55 with 1:26 left.
After Hill extended the lead to 59-55 on a pair of free throws with 1:20 remaining, Brandon Morley scored on a rebound putback and after a quick steal cut the lead to 59-58 as he made 1 of 2 free throws.
Alta, however, continued to capitalize at the free-throw line going 6 of 6 in the final 26 seconds to ice the victory — and avenge a 1-point loss to Bingham in the preseason.
"I feel like we're a good team. We started out slow with three losses, but we've worked our way back. No one is really expecting us to do a whole lot, but we know we can," said Albrecht, who led Alta with 18 points.
Albrecht scored 15 of his 18 points in the second half as he came out aggressive and attacked the basket with what the coaching staff believed was a defensive mismatch.
"I'm a second-year starter, I've got to take that role as a captain and go to the basket and be an example," Albrecht said.
Rollins chipped in 15 points for Alta, which only committed six turnovers.
Morley and Braxton McKee both scored 15 points for Bingham, which shot an impressive 53 percent from the field despite the loss.

HRC Endorses Maggie Hassan for NH Governor
September 6, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Dan Rafter, Former HRC Associate Director of Communications
HRC announced this morning our endorsement of Maggie Hassan, the Democratic candidate for governor of New Hampshire.
Hassan, an equality supporter, is facing Republican candidates who have advocated for repeal of New Hampshire's popular marriage equality law.
In announcing the endorsement, Hassan reiterated her commitment to protecting the rights of all New Hampshire citizens: "In 2009, we answered the civil rights call of our time by making marriage equality a reality for each and every New Hampshire citizen. I was proud to play a role in making that happen. As Governor, I will stand up to anyone who tries to repeal marriage equality and always protect the fundamental right of fair and equal treatment for every citizen of New Hampshire."
HRC National Field Director Marty Rouse echoed the importance of this gubernatorial race: "Anti-equality forces are at work to try and turn back the clock on New Hampshire's historic marriage equality law. The stakes in this election couldn't be higher, and we know that Maggie Hassan is the strong leader New Hampshire needs to protect the rights of all families."
|This advertisement has been paid for by the Human Rights Campaign and has not been authorized by any candidate. Chad Griffin, President, 1640 Rhode Island Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20036.

By DANA MILBANK, Investor's Business Daily
Dana Milbank
For a smart man, President Obama professes to know very little about a great number of things going on in his administration.
On Sunday night, the Wall Street Journal reported that he didn't learn until this summer that the National Security Agency had been bugging the phones of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other world leaders.
That followed by a few days a claim by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that Obama didn't know about problems with the HealthCare.gov website before the rest of the world learned of them after the Oct. 1 launch.
It stretches credulity to think that the U.S. was spying on world leaders without the president's knowledge, or that he was blissfully unaware of huge technical problems that threatened to undermine his main legislative achievement. But on issues including the IRS targeting flap and the Justice Department's use of subpoenas against reporters, White House officials have frequently given a variation on this theme.
Question: What did Obama know and when did he know it?
Answer: Not much, and about a minute ago.
The Associated Press' Josh Lederman led off Monday's White House briefing with an obvious question: "Was the president kept out of the loop about what the NSA was doing?"
"I am not going to get into details of internal discussions," press secretary Jay Carney replied, repeating previous promises that "we do not and will not monitor the chancellor's communications." This formulation conspicuously omits the phrase "did not."
CNN's Jim Acosta cited the HealthCare.gov rollout and the IRS targeting, which Obama said he learned about through news reports. "Is there a concern," Acosta asked, "that the president is being kept in the dark on some of these issues?"
Carney told Acosta he had "conflated a bunch of very disparate issues."
"Republican critics," Acosta said, "are making the case, though, that the president appears to be in the dark about some pretty significant stories that are swirling around this White House."
"Well, Republican critics say a lot of things, Jim," Carney replied icily.
That's true. But in this case, the Republicans understated the number of issues on which the president has claimed to be in the dark. A compilation by the Republican National Committee titled "The Bystander President" cited the NSA spying on Merkel, the ObamaCare rollout and an investigation of the IRS' targeting of political groups. (The White House counsel knew of the inquiry but said she didn't inform Obama.)
It's a surprise to see President Obama actually fire someone. But I have to worry that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's forced departure may signal further expansion of U.S. military involvement in Iraq and Syria. Obama hardly ever gives anybody the boot, often sticking with aides and appointees ...
Don't tax you, don't tax me. Tax that feller behind the tree. Or better yet, don't call it a tax at all: Call it a fine, forfeiture, fee. Really, any word except "tax" will do. Such is the unifying philosophy behind many recent inflammatory fiscal developments on the national stage — ...
It must be obvious by now that we are experiencing something greater than the routine frustrations of the business cycle and the normal political discontents of democracies. There is, as political scientist William Galston says, a "shared fear that an epoch is coming to an end." The "liberal ...
Another year, another HealthCare.gov enrollment period and another series of Republican efforts to repeal, defund or otherwise dismantle the Affordable Care Act. So when will the GOP learn to stop worrying and love ObamaCare? The question is not quite as crazy as it sounds when you consider ...
Every Democrat should be nervous about President Obama's plan for unilateral action on immigration reform. Not because of its impact on an already gridlocked Congress or because it risks inflaming an increasingly hostile public. Democrats should be nervous about the implications for presidential ...

I dont think we're in a rebuilt or i dont think Lou sees it that way at all. That means making sacrifices for the future. I simply don't see it. All i see it patching things up the best we can and hold on to what we have to "win now".
In my mind, this is Lou's way of rebuilding. He will never fully blow it up, because he's too much of a competitor for that and knows full well that attendance would rival the Panthers if he did. But he also knows that we don't have any NHL ready forwards in the pipeline, so he constantly has to look to FA to fill the gaps until he can restock. Now that the young D are ready to take the next step, he made the moves necessary to allow then to play. Can you remember the last time we had 3-4 D under 24 years of age in the lineup at the same time?
He may call it retooling, but this is a slow rebuild that has started with the D and goaltending, and will take a number of additional years for the F corp to catch up.

I stayed here with 9 friends, we had a fantastic time, its a great house for entertaining with the great pizza oven, large outdoor table and open plan kitchen. The beds were really comfortable and the house had a great feel to it. It wasn't walking distance too much but the buses on the island are easy enough to catch I would definitely stay here again

It is sheltered; we were there during Cyclone Lusi and hardly noticed it except for the rain. Pizza oven great fun even if we couldn't get it to right temperature. We were a mixed family group (6 adults, two grandchildren) and it really worked well for us. Particularly liked the large family table and very well-equipped kitchen.

Great hosts, great house! Casamatta is the perfect place for large or small groups to enjoy a restful and comfortable holiday on beautiful Waiheke. It has everything you need, as well as some fantastic extras. The pizza oven was a huge hit with us, as were ALL those cozy living spaces and super spacious kitchen where everyone could gather, have a drink and soak up the atmosphere. We will be back :) Thanks for having us!

Updated on: 04.12.13
5:26 p.m. UPDATE: Investigators continue to work the scene, in the 2500 block of Wise Hollow Road, reports Chief Deputy Jeff Deckard.
Among them is Dr. Stephen Nawrocki, director of osteology at the archaeology and forensics laboratory at the University of Indianapolis, whose expertise includes skeletal age estimation.
Authorities hope that collected materials will help identify the body and determine the cause and manner of death, said Prosecutor Jim Oliver, who was notified early on in the investigation in case it would become a criminal case.
"We have no idea who we have at this point," said Chief Deputy Coroner Earl Piper, who also has been working at the scene, along with Indiana State Police and Brown County Emergency Management.
He cautioned against speculation.
Piper said dental records may need to be used to make identification.
ORIGINAL POST: Two women hunting for mushrooms on private property Thursday found bones believed to be human.
State and local police worked Thursday evening and into Friday to recover the remains from a wooded area in western Brown County.
"There's not a lot I can tell you yet," Sheriff Rick Followell reported this morning, declining to reveal the exact location of the site at this time. "… Right now we are in the process of recovery and we're just now looking into who and why."
At 3:17 p.m. Thursday, a woman called 911 from a State Road 46 West address to report she'd found a human head in the woods. At least seven Brown County and Nashville officers responded, and stayed on scene all evening.
Friday morning, a specialized team was working to remove the remains from the multiple acre site, which Followell called "a tedious process."
Followell said investigators haven't concluded yet whether the remains are from a male or female, or whether or not foul play is involved.
"All that we could see were just parts," he said. "… We don't have any reason to believe that they're not all there."

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Wisconsin scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.
In 2014, the Wisconsin State Legislature was in session from January 14 through June 4.
- Legislators are scored on their stances on voting, money in politics and democracy reform legislation.
- Legislators are scored on "how well [their votes] represented the priorities of the MMAC."
- Legislators are scored on whether they voted for or against NPCW's position.
- Legislators are scored on whether they voted for or against the Wisconsin AFL-CIO's position.
- Legislators are scored on their stances on conservation issues.
