Family opens Washington County home up to ex-convicts, disabled
Updated On: Oct 24 2013 07:23:22 AM CDT
A family opens up their country getaway to the disabled, abused and even ex-convicts.
The relaxing spot in Newburg is exactly what Fred Bliffert's father was thinking when he bought the 64 acres in 1942.
"My dad wanted to use it as the family weekend retreat. Put this lake in. There's a swimming pool over there," said Bliffert.
In 1999, his father passed away.
"It was so beautiful. We couldn't hog it. So we decided to turn it into a day camp for special needs people," said Bliffert.
During the summer busloads come out to Washington County and what is now called Blue Lotus.
"So we have autistic groups come out. We have battered women. We have ex-cons," said Bliffert.
Reporter Marianne Lyles said there are lots of fun things to do like tether ball or taking a kayak out onto the water. But Bliffert calls these activities life changing for the attendees.
While Bliffert, who is also a musician, provides the place, the programs are funded through the kindness of others.
That's why he and his band will be playing a benefit concert in Milwaukee this weekend, featuring famous blues musician Al Kooper.
"The stuff I see out here will tear your heart out of your chest," said Bliffert.
The concert is at the Miramar Theater on Oakland Avenue starting at 8 p.m. on Saturday.

comScore Launches Smartphone Metrics Service
Mobile Metrix 2.0 combines on-device metering with ŌĆścensus-levelŌĆÖ data.
Digital analytics provider comScore has extended its media measurement services to the smartphone with the launch of Mobile Metrix 2.0.
The service aims to give publishers and advertisers a more accurate, detailed view of a brandŌĆÖs unduplicated mobile audience size and demographics, in both apps and browsers. This is powered by comScoreŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Unified Digital MeasurementŌĆØ methodology, which combines on-device metering with what comScore calls ŌĆ£census-level dataŌĆØ collected through its panelŌĆöabout 2 million worldwide consumers whose digital behavior is continuously measured.
Mobile Metrix 2.0 can also segment consumer activity across iOS, Android and RIM platforms to help publishers see how their mobile web and app audiences vary across operating systems.
According to data so far collected, browser and app audiences are similar in terms of size but vary widely in terms of engagement, with every 4 in 5 minutes spent with mobile media coming through apps.
Social media, not surprisingly, has proven to be a particularly popular segment on smartphones.
According to comScore, FacebookŌĆöthe second largest mobile media property in terms of audienceŌĆönow reaches 80.4 percent of total U.S. smartphone users over the age of 18; users spent an average of 7 hours with the brand in March.
Twitter, the eleventh largest overall and the second largest social media brand, reaches 26.4 percent of all smartphone users; in March, users spent almost 2 hours with the brand via mobile, versus 20.4 minutes through a computer.
LinkedIn, with the third-largest audience among social media brands, reaches 7.9 percent of the total market, with users spending an average of 12.9 minutes per month.
PinterestŌĆöaccessed by 7.7 percent of mobile usersŌĆötakes up the fourth spot in terms of reach, while the average time spent with the brand, at 52.9 minutes, is almost four times as much as with LinkedIn.
With Foursquare and Tumblr, in the fifth and sixth spots, users spent almost 2.5 hours and a little more than an hour, respectively; Foursquare reaches 5.7 percent of total smartphone users, while Tumblr reaches 4.6 percent.

Lucky Haul: Leopard Chukkas
Bobby Schuessler
Lucky Breaks Contributor
A few weeks ago, I noticed these chukka boots while shopping at AllSaints and started obsessing. At first I hesitated, but I've thought about them everyday since, and decided I had to buy them. They're for men, but in the smaller sizes they'd totally work for women, giving neutral outfits a touch of animal print that's totally spot on—pun intended—for fall.

Mayor Bill de Blasio's traffic safety program seems to be working as planned as new numbers show the city has issued more tickets this year and pedestrian traffic fatalities also dropped.
The mayor kicked off the "Vision Zero" initiative six months ago, with the goal of reducing traffic deaths across the city.
A study by Transportation Alternatives shows the number of tickets written for traffic violations went up sharply from last year.
The report says summonses for speeding are up 32 percent from 2013, while tickets for failing to yield have skyrocketed more than 150 percent.
Despite the changes, some people who spoke with NY1 say they are not seeing behaviors change on the road.
"New Yorkers don't ever look up. We're always down playing on something so we don't look up and see where we're going," said one pedestrian.
"It's a crazy place to cross the street, it's always packed with vehicles. The cabs are wild and its a bit of a wild west here with the cabs zooming in and out," said another pedestrian.
So far this year, 70 pedestrians have been killed in traffic accidents, compared to 87 last year.
The number of non-fatal pedestrians accidents reported is also down, dropping seven percent from a year ago.

First, Ron, the one time that I ever voted for a Federal Liberal candidate was in 2011, and then it was only because I didn't want to see the obsequious little toady Fabian Manning re-elected for his grovelling. Second, you entirely missed my point. The Liberals inherited a windfall, cut expenses (and taxes), spent frugally and eliminated three decades of deficits. The Conservative Party on the other hand, inherited a windfall, cut taxes (without thought to the long term consequences), spent freely and soon eliminated a decade of deficit and debt reduction. So much for the "Conservative" in the party name. I was living in Ontario, and serving in the CF during the past Liberal era, and witnessed the fallout from the budget decisions personally. I was also directly involved in two base closures and the "downsizing" that accompanied the budget balancing decisions, so I don't really need any military history lessons from you. Had you read my comments closely, you would have realized that I gave praise where praise is due; Mulroney for restructuring our international trade and the sales tax system, and Chretien for balancing the budget and putting the nation's finances in order.The current Conservative government , on the other hand, has demonstrated an marked inability to manage the country's finances effectively, most recently, misplacing $3.1 billion dollars in anti-terrorism funding. As to Liberals lining "there own pockets", I present Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau, Jean-Pierre Blackburn, Bernard Genereux, Ted Salci, Gary Valcour, Bev "Orange Juice" Oda......

In 1993, the start of the liberal decade, the Chretien/Martin coalition slashed health transfer payments to the provinces, by 2003 NL government was receiving less than 1993. This was balancing the budget on the back of the sick, they also slashed EI programs which were not restored until the current federal govt. was elected. Their actions may have balanced the budget, but at what cost? The breast cancer tragedy here was probably directly caused by their actions which led to under resourced labs and medical staff. These are the facts!

Peter MacKay has only been good for one thing and one thing only. Taking care of who he needs to to get re-elected. In my own opinion MacKay's departure from politics will never come soon enough.

You hard core libs still don't get it, A ED .Yea they cut the deficait allright plus everthing else and lined there own pockets . Costing the Canadian taxpayers a lot of money when good old Chreitan took his pen and cancelled the EH101 and still to this day we dont have a replacment for the Sea King. When ever the governing party wants to purchase anything for the Canadian Armed Forces the libs and NDP jump up and down screaming. Then when it is convient, they say its the Fault of the PC that we don't have modern aircraft for SAR and replacement aircraft for the CF18. So take a hard look at who you vote for when making such comments.

I didn't like the Liberals when they were in power, but the Harperites are infinitely worse. As much as I disagreed with Chrétien,, he, at least had the sense to keep us out of Iraq. McKay and cronies would have had us mired in that war from day one.

interesting article,you wrote about how good he was and is at preparing some ones lives for as your article is wrote????but the question is how good is he and your knowledge at saving lives???? money is just one way of helping to save lives,if you do not have the knowledge when making life and death decisions 24/7 of the duties of search and rescue,it do not seem watching some one do search and rescue exercises is enough???? getting to the problem????you have to look at it this way when you take on a position of saving lives that is what has got to be done,no excuses.When you are asked and you take on to for fill these duties that is exactly what it is, and if it is not done right what do you expect,as some one said before that is why they are getting paid the big bucks???? and if that is done right you should not have no problems only the ones you do to your self and who can you blame for that???? not saying Peter mackay is the fault for every thing that goes on, you decide????

While not directly on point,,,but never the less, competency has to be considered; Peter McKay and Kathy Dunderdale will both, forever, have to wear the atrocious decisions made surrounding the Burton Winters tragedy vis a vis use of Coast Guard services.....! They both stand in testimony of how a gold-plated service can be rendered useless in the hands of 'ignorance and incompetence'.

I can see that Russ has been studying his Conservative Party of Canada's list of approved ministerial sound bites and buzzwords. I might remind Russ that during the "Decade of Darkness" of "Liberal Mismanagement" Canada eliminated it's decades of budget deficits, reported consistent annual budget surpluses, reduced the size and growth of the of the public service- a perennial PC/CPC unfulfilled election promise - and reduced the Canadian National Debt by a few hundred billion dollars. While the argument can be made- I've argued it many times myself - that the Liberal record of fiscal management was the direct result of financial policies and trade deals implemented under Brian Mulroney's PC government; primarily the Free Trade Agreement with the USA, changes to the Income Tax system and the creation of the GST. The Liberals were the beneficiaries of the financial windfall that resulted from the restructuring of the Canadian economy and managed the income wisely. Fast forward to 2006, and Canada's "New Government" enters office and, against the advice of economists and academics - a soon to be familiar theme - cuts the GST by 2% and begins to implement its brand of fiscal management. Within two year, the budget surpluses disappear, spending increases and the reduction of the National Debt ends. In 2008, the Global Economy collapses, Canada falls into a Recession - unseen and unacknowledged by the CPC - and the bad old days of multi-billion deficits returns with a vengance. Five years later, the economy is still struggling, the budget is still stained in red ink and the only real growth is in the number of "Canada's Economic Action Plan" ads we are forced to pay for with money our children will have to repay. But, hey, Peter Mackay bought us second-hand tanks (good ones, though), Obama's second-hand helicopters (for spare parts) and is promising - always promising - to someday buy new SAR aircraft to replace the venerable old Buffalo and the unsuitable Griffon. Soon, we'll be treated to another flashy Peter Mackay press conference featuring a cardboard aircraft...

"...he seized a confluence of activities and matched his return to work with a search and rescue demonstration aboard military aircraft...". --------- You have got to be kidding. --- What bureaucratic gobbledygook. He used a SAR helicopter as a taxpayer-paid-for personal taxi service. Period. Not a strong, visionary, nation-building accomplishment among the rest.
- Jon Smith
- May 08, 2013 - 06:39
Its time that Mackay and harper got over the ABC campaign and stopped stripping Newfoundland and Labrador by closing down things to the benefit of Nova Scotia. The country was not supposed to end at Halifax since 1949. These folks need to be shown the map of Canada, period.

Being Human
Season One
From Library Staff
A vampire, a ghost, and a werewolf walk into a bar. Well, not a bar but they move into a home together and try to live a "normal" life. It's poignant, creepy, and funny.

I was shocked at how much I LOVE this series!! It's not vulgar, so the kids can watch. It's not over the top gore and guts. It's a good hearty story that has alot of depth and heart. Give it a chance. I like this one better than the American version. .
I didn't know I would love this show so much, when I first checked it out. But Oh My Gosh it's great!
Plot twists at every corner.
Plus a super sexy vampire named Mitchell. You should watch this if you are into the supernatural.
I am disappointed. I requested this DVD because I love the British television show "Being Human". When I brought the set home I realized that despite the description here, it is actually the American version in this catalog.
I watched the first season of the American adaptation to this first and now having watched both I'm convinced that the BBC version is much superior. It starts slowly but by episodes 3 and 4 I'm confident you'll be sucked in. Some very good questions raised in a very good way. A nice normal household of a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire. It's well balanced the humor, the horror and the questions. Worth a watch.
Season one of Being Human is a science fiction drama with some humor as well. The three main characters are Annie the ghost, George the werewolf and Mitchell the vampire. They live together in a house in Bristol England that is owned by the former boyfriend of Annie. George and Mitchell work as porters at a local hospital while Annie mostly stays at home. All three tend to deny their true identities and live like humans as much as possible. This state of affairs leads to both grave and funny situations.
Love this show!!!!!
Excellent Series!
I ate all six episodes in one gulp. And I still can't say why I like this show; I don't like George, never did, Annie's so perky, and Mitch is really not that nice is he?
An above average horror/monster tv show where the monsters are the main characters. Dramatic and funny. Decent stories and some action. Mostly revolves around the drama of them trying to figure out how to lead a "normal" life. This is a brittish show but I think there is an american remake. I was entertained.
I didn't watch this until after I saw the American version, and I have to say as per usual the UK version is much better. The characters in this are a lot of fun and it keeps the interesting storyline moving with great scripting and impressive acting. I would recommend this to fans of science fiction type dramas as well as fans of the horror genre.

"I ordered these for my daughter's graduation announcements. So cute! I liked how I was able to change the font size and style according to my personal taste. Very easy to do online and now I don't have to write out my return address a hundred times! :)"
"Well, this was the only one I didn't get in the mail. I calle customer service and they were incredibly kind and said the would reprint and send to me. I think they even sent this thing fed ex to me ! The other lables that were similar were beautiful so I expect thus to be the same."
"Again - I was looking for something that my fiancé would think was masculine enough to put on his mail. He really liked them as well. The size and quality were perfect."
"The design is very regal. I am using them for my son's graduation invites, and thank you notes. I am excited to send them out."
"Sometimes it's not until you're about to send a card that you realize a label can make a big difference. I purchased this set for my Dad. And I may have created a monster, he does not want to mail any greeting card (birthday, graduation, etc.) without this label."

The first reports of Jews living in Groningen date to the end of
the sixteenth century. At the time, Jews were denied permission to
reside permanently in the city. The residential status of Jews in
Groningen continued to remain uncertain throughout the seventeenth
century, despite Jews being allowed to engage in commerce and
despite one of their numbers being appointed leaseholder of the
municipal lending bank. As late as 1691, Jews in Groningen still
were forbidden to gather together for prayer. In 1710, the city
council of Groningen passed measures limiting the number of Jews
from German East Friesland allowed to enter the city.
The situation began to change in 1711 when a Jew from Amsterdam obtained the lease to operate Groningen's municipal pawnshop and was granted the right to hold religious services in a house on the Poelestraat. Not long thereafter, the ongoing growth of the city's Jewish population prompted local Jews to rent a house on the Steenstilstraat and equip it to serve as their synagogue. As the eighteenth century progressed, several Jews managed to become members of Groningen's merchants' and market vendors' guild, this despite strong opposition. Eventually, Groningen's butchers' and button makers' guilds also opened their ranks to Jews.
An organized Jewish community finally came into being in Groningen during the 1740's following the approval of its statutes by the city council. The Groningen community built a new synagogue in the Volteringstraat, the later Kleine Folkingestraat, in 1756. At the time, the majority of the Jews of Groningen lived in closed proximity to the new synagogue. The Volteringstraat synagogue was opened despite opposition from Christian citizens. Local enmity toward Jews was so strong that the synagogue had been constructed without windows so that Jews could worship in anonymity. From 1776 until 1808, Groningen's mayor and city council went so far as to closely watch over the internal affairs of the Jewish community.
In 1813, Abraham Deen, chief rabbi of the newly established Jewish consistory of the north of the Netherlands chose Groningen as his residence over the competing city of Leeuwarden, enabling the former to emerge as the leading center of Jewish life in the region. In 1848, the Groningen community split over the wish of its leaders to modernize Jewish worship. This led to the founding of a separate ultra-orthodox community in 1852. In 1881, the split was healed and the community reunited.
Throughout the nineteenth century, the Groningen community maintained numerous religious, cultural, social, and recreational organizations. From its founding, the community had provided education to its children. Jewish education in Groningen was modernized in 1815. Following the introduction of compulsory primary education throughout the Netherlands, enrolment in the Jewish school fell. By the end of the nineteenth century, the school only taught Jewish subjects.
The first Jewish cemetery in Groningen, the Jodenkamp (Jews' field) near the Bloemsingel, was purchased in 1747. Prior to then, the Jews of Groningen buried their dead in Leeuwarden, Appingedam, and Noord and Zuid Pekela. From 1838 until 1909, the Groningen community used the Moesstraat cemetery, a section of the public non-sectarian Noorderbegraafplaats cemetery located on the former Boteringepoort. A new cemetery was inaugurated on the Winsumerstraatweg, the present-day Iepenlaan, in 1909.
As the nineteenth century progressed, Jews became influential in the economic life of Groningen. As in other provincial capitals, many of Groningen's Jews were vendors, shopkeepers, butchers and livestock dealers. Other Jews, such as the Polak and Levie families, were important in the development of local retail emporia and industrial concerns. Jews were also active at the University of Groningen. In 1851, Izaak Van Deen, the son of chief rabbi Van Deen, was appointed to a professorship at the university, thereby becoming the first Jewish professor in all of the Netherlands. Aletta Jacobs (1854-1929), the Netherlands' first female medical student and later a pioneering women's rights activist, was of Jewish origin and studied at the University of Groningen. Not least, the Netherlands' leading impressionist painter, Jozef Israëls, was born and raised in Groningen.
During the first decades of the twentieth century, the Jewish population of Groningen remained relatively stable, despite a general demographic trend of migration to the west of the country. A large new synagogue - a remarkable building built in a neo-Byzantine style with neo-Moorish elements - was constructed in 1906 on the Folkingestraat. In January 1940, a young peoples' synagogue was opened on the nearby Folkingedwarsstraat.
During the inter-war period the Jewish community at Groningen blossomed. The majority of Groningen's Jews by then had achieved middle class status and many practiced professions. New Jewish organizations at the time included Zionist and anti-Zionist groups - these not always on the best of footings - as well as Jewish scouting, gymnastic, and sports associations. A Jewish theater group was also active. During the 1930's, the arrival of 250 Jewish refugees in Groningen served to bolster the size of the community.
Under the German occupation of the Netherlands during the Second World War, anti-Jewish measures were felt first in the field of education, both at public schools and at the University of Groningen. Professors and teachers were fired and Jewish students expelled. Separate Jewish elementary, middle, and high schools were established in September of 1941. 1941 also saw the banning of Jewish livestock traders from the Groningen livestock market at the instigation of members of the Dutch collaborationist NSB party. A branch of the German-controlled Joodse Raad (Jewish Council) responsible for the entire province of Groningen was opened in the city of Groningen in November of 1941.
Deportation of Jews from Groningen commenced in August, 1942 with the round-up of 600 Jewish men for confinement in work camps. Deportations continued through April of 1943. Relatively few Groningen Jews managed to escape deportation by going into hiding, although a group of university students did manage to find hiding places for a number of Jewish children.
After the war, Jewish life in Groningen was reestablished by those few Jews who returned to the city from hiding or from concentration camps. The Folkingestraat synagogue came through the war undamaged but was sold in 1952. The building first housed a laundry and dry cleaning plant and then became a church and assembly hall of the Apostolisch Genootschap (Apostolic Fellowship). The Stichting Folkingestraat Synagoge (the Folkingestraat Synagogue Foundation) was established in 1973 with the aim of restoring the former synagogue. Beginning 1981, the building was once again used as a synagogue, albeit part-time. Today, a number of Jewish youth and student organizations are active in Groningen. The Stichting Joods Maatschappelijk Werk (Jewish Social Work Foundation) and the Joodse Ambulante Geestelijke Gezondheidszorg (Jewish Society for Outpatient Mental Health Care) maintain branches in the city.
The Jewish cemetery on the Bloemsingel was cleared away early in the 1950's; remains from the cemetery were re-interred at the Moesstraat cemetery. The cemetery on the Iepenlaan was refurbished in 1985 and again in 1999 by the Dutch Stichting Boete en Verzoening (Foundation for Penance and Reconciliation). In 2001, volunteers from the Dutch Christian fellowship Kerk en Israël (Church and Israel) commenced restoration of gravestones at the Moesstraat cemetery. Both cemeteries currently are maintained by the local municipal authorities. Several monuments in Groningen are dedicated to the Jews of the city murdered during the Second World War.

William Boyd: Restless
After giving up on a proof copy of Restless last year, about one-third through, I found my interest in it reinvigorated by all the positive reviews, the Richard & Judy listing, the Costa Novel Award, and of course the half price offer on Amazon…
The story is by now quite well-known: a young English woman discovers that her elderly mother is not a travel writer at all but an alien from a planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse: or at least a Russian emigré spy who worked for the British secret service during the second world war. I wasn't hooked from the start – which is probably why I gave up on it before – but I was hooked from about halfway through. It's all very traditional in a way, which could mean humdrum but Boyd manages to pull off a very interesting story. Like much of his stuff, it's the immensity of detail and aspect which impressed me in Restless: all aspects of the characters' lives are explored, and points of narrative interest abound, from the double-historic time frame (2006 novel set in 1976 with flashbacks to 1939-42), the mix of fact and fiction (did the British secret service really work undercover to bluff the Americans into the second world war?), and the simple novelty (for me) of a female protagonist – or two – in a spy story.
The central 'twist' is not terribly surprising because it's so clearly foreshadowed, and the tension of whether Eva Delectorskaya will survive the war is obviously discharged by the knowledge that she is still alive in 1976, but the story still grips and the settings (of the long hot summer in 1976, of wartime Britain when people really didn't know if their country would survive, and of America at the same time when nobody really cared what was going on across the pond) are well realised. Boyd does not suit all tastes, but for me he's a reliable source of pleasure.

I have read most of William Boyd's books and was intrigued to see what Boyd would make of the genre. The result was "good, but ordinary". The story is well-constructed, but can be a little plodding at times, and I thought it was lacking in atmosphere, and characterisation. However, glad you liked it!
If I may impose.
I live in the states.I was trying to see if my blogs were on the search engine.
The only William Boyd that I knew of was the cowboy.
Who is this William Boyd from England?
What kind of books does he write?
The only reason I ask is because my family is from Scotland.
Just a little curious.
Thank you

Report: Girardi Not Likely to Leave for the Cubs Job

So says the Chicago 'Tribune.'
CC Sabathia pitches a gem.
They can clinch a playoff berth tonight.
Javier Vazquez once again pitches well in relief.
About his rotation, not the Cubs job.
By pitching badly.
The Yankees protected a one-run lead in the eighth, while Chamberlain remained in the bullpen.
He's got no reason to go anywhere else.
The Chicago Cubs job makes a lot of sense for Joe Girardi.
The National League wins its first All-Star Game in fourteen years.
They take two games from the Twins thanks to solid pitching and a pair of solo home runs.
You see, he's hitting too many Yankees.
The manager calls for an intentional walk of Kendry Morales, changes his mind, then regrets his decision.
Joba doesn't get the fifth starter spot.
This isn't a problem, though.
Mark Sanchez is hurt in the Jets' win over the Bills.
Mark Sanchez gets help with his slide.
This game was over early. Thank God for that.
Suddenly, Game 6 is looking pretty scary.
On a related note, Charlie Manuel did not manage an excellent game last night.

Bunning (R-KY). Senator Bunning objected to the package for budgetary
The House of
Representatives successfully passed a 30-day "patch" as part of its
"extenders" package, H.R. 4691, the Temporary Extension Act of 2010,
the evening of February 25th.
Discussions regarding
advancing legislation to avoid the 21 percent payment cut are expected
to continue over the weekend and into early next week. Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid has crafted an "extenders" package that includes a
7-month physician payment "patch." It is expected he will attempt to
advance the proposal Tuesday, March 2nd.

Advice and tips needed- New to LTC & mid-night shift
- 0Jan 7, '11 by GirlnextdoorRNhello fellow nurses,
i am so elated that i got the rn job offer to a new facility and next week be starting the orientation. i am new to ltc and be working 11-7 shift. .....definitely, i will have lots of coffee or tea. :d
please give me some tips, advice and all your knowledge - greatly appreciated :redpinkhe. i'm getting a bit nervous and been browsing about meds, treatments and some nursing procedures....... thanks.
- 5Jan 7, '11 by jnrsmommyWow, there's so much to cover on that.
1. Work load wise, how many pts are you going to be responsible for? There aren't that many meds scheduled through the first half of the shift generally. Mostly prns. If your facility does your thyroid meds early, then you will have those to pass, and w/ LTC, that's A LOT of people (our facility, we have approval from medical director and pharmacy that they can be given at 4pm). You will also most likely have morning blood sugar checks/insulins to give.
2. Paperwork wise, get to know your facility paperwork. LTC generally chart by exception, meaning anyone on antibiotics, any falls/incidents/skin tears. If you have medicare pts, they are charted on every shift. Learn what paperwork is required if you have to send someone out or if an incident has occurred.
3. Treatments generally don't happen, most are just q shift creams that need to be applied. I know some nurses will pass that on to the aides, I don't like that habit. If there's something there, I want to see it.
4. Over the course of a few shifts (mine took me about 2 weeks total), make up a cheat sheet for your residents. Diagnosis, code status, allergies, meds/treatments, any equipment, oxygen, etc. I kept that list with me at all times until I became familiar with the residents.
5. Ask your aides about the residents, they can tell you sooo much. Make sure to go behind them and check that their work is being done. (I know I'm gonna get flamed for this). You are new to them, you don't know them, they don't know you. A good aide is worth their weight in gold tenfold, but you won't learn that sitting behind a desk. My aides are my right and left arms, but they know that I do periodically mark briefs/pads to make sure they are being done.
6. If this is not a normal shift for you to work, make sure you get your uninterrupted rest during the day (cannot stress that enough). There is usually a down time during the night when you become tired (I'm a night owl, but 0330-0400 still catches me sometimes), get up and walk around. Also, do not let yourself go w/o eating/taking a break.
There's loads more that can be said, but I hope this at least helps you some.
- 2Jan 7, '11 by bethann27I would just add to the previous post to remember to treat others as you would like to be treated. Your support staff can make or break your night & the quality of care given. Also, DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION FOR YOURSELF.
LTC is very stressful @ times, but also one of the most rewarding areas to work. Good Luck
- 0Jan 7, '11 by GirlnextdoorRNHello jnrsmommy and bethann27,
Thank you very, very much for your advice and tips!!!!...Your support really means a lot me. Being a foreigner and trying to figure out how everything works here in the US is such a big challenge and I am so grateful that I still have good support here and it really means a lot to me.....Yes, I was a CNA before and I know how it can get overwhelming sometimes, but still I believe with good team work, doing the job right the first time and with lots of communication within the staff......Again, thank you very much.....I will still bug you for more advice and tips, if that's okey?
- 0Jan 8, '11 by Forever Sunshine, LPN11-7 is the best shift to work. (Work wise, not sleep wise). Most residents are sleeping most of the shift. (I said most.. some nights.. everybody will be jumping out of bed).
If you have a 6am med-pass(you probably will).. start it EARLY! I don't mean 5. I mean 4am. If you are feeling tired, or have alot of charting left to do.. start some at 3:30, then finish the rest at 5, so you don't get behind. So this way when 7-3 comes in you can count narcotics asap and go home.
Delegate creams to the CNAs, they do changes twice a night. It makes no sense for you to do a treatment, and then the resident gets changed. Coordinate this with the CNAs, if they are the worlds greatest. they already know to ask you for the creams.
Have tons of patience with 3-11. We get so much dumped on us and we have a very overwelming shift.
- 0Jan 8, '11 by GirlnextdoorRNSoooo sooo happy getting information from you fellow nurses and I'm taking notes as my guide.
Monday I will start the orientation and right now, I'm having palpitations barf02:....mixed emotions....Part of me say, 'do you think you can do it?' and then the other side will say, 'you can do it!"....Keep learning and ask questions......Is this normal?
I may sound kinda stupid but I have to ask, what important questions during orientation that I needed to ask?.....(I will be asking for the facility's policy).....Need some hints.
Do anyone of you have spreadsheets (for cheat sheet) so I can be organize and have a good time management. Hope I'm not asking too much.
- 0Jan 8, '11 by michelle126I second the PP suggestions but would also recomend going with the CNAs and instead of following them and checking up help them out with a few pts. Maybe those with the wounds or creams. You get your assessment done and you work with the CNAs as a team.
As far as the med pass in the am.....it can be brutal. I have to disagree with the poster that said start at 3:30 am (sorry). I worked the 11-7 shift for quite a few years so I get it. Honest. But if you would try to wake me up at 3:30 in the am to give me my prilosec or synthroid...you better do it from the distance cause I will be hitting you. If the pass is that heavy..there are other ways around it. A good bit of our meds like that were put on the 9pm pass. They were getting meds anyway.
Good luck.
- 0Jan 8, '11 by Forever Sunshine, LPNQuote from michelle126Know your residents.

- 1Jan 19, '11 by GirlnextdoorRNhello fellow nurses!!!....i'm now working on my own. it was overwhelming one time, but i know i will survive. made some cheat sheet and during my shift, made notes for my residents that need accu check, treatment, med pass and those that had their specific time to when they will wake up and shower. i'm learning and will not stop learning. my body is still in shock, at least i was able to sleep well today.....tips for nutrition, healthy supplements and etc - greatly appreciated!.........
- 0Jan 19, '11 by Forever Sunshine, LPNQuote from girlnextdoorrngood to hear you are surviving.hello fellow nurses!!!....i'm now working on my own. it was overwhelming one time, but i know i will survive. made some cheat sheet and during my shift, made notes for my residents that need accu check, treatment, med pass and those that had their specific time to when they will wake up and shower. i'm learning and will not stop learning. my body is still in shock, at least i was able to sleep well today.....tips for nutrition, healthy supplements and etc - greatly appreciated!.........
i've been doing weight watchers for 3 years and starting their new points plus plan. its very friendly for those who work nights, as we can have fruits and vegetables for 0 points.
so this weekend instead of bringing pretzels i will bring fruit. around 3-4am i get nauseous (for some odd reason every time i work that shift) so i have ginger ale. during my 6am medpass i have a special k smoothie.
i don't remember if i told you this in my last post but start your medpass early. know which residents you can sneak in and give meds to at 4:30am.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Identifying an interior style is often subject to interpretation.
When artists and designers create looks that are fanciful and offbeat, boho (short for Bohemian) is a catchall term that fits. The boho walls I wrote about back in August had a more informal look that this trio, fished from Pinterest where such eccentric rooms have an avid fan base. Of course, it's the flamboyant images that count — chief among them (and most attainable) the Zoffany Verdure wallpaper [top] by Melissa White a fantasy forest scene inspired by a late 17th century wallcloth. For me, the meandering colors and shapes writ large on the wall have a marvelous dreamy quality that transports the mid-century furniture and lighting, even the noteworthy 2011 polypropylene Masters chairs by Philippe Starck for Kartell, which Allison also has posted about.
Koi (and other exotic fish) swimming among the lily pads on a dining room ceiling and walls, put us in the middle of a fish tank! The Michael Dillon mural evokes a traditional Chinese motif and is supported by the ebonized lantern chandelier and other Asian furnishings. (Koi lovers can evoke a similar feeling with colorful Koi wallpaper.) The blue field color of the Oriental rug supports the watery aspect of the walls with perfect pitch.
Back when I was an art student I was taught to look for visual clues to help define style. This amazing entry — with trees painted right up into the sloped ceiling – had a door in the shape of a Gothic arch, well-worn tile floors and a somewhat primitive electrical set up. So it's safe to assume it's an old building that can be appreciated for its thoroughly offbeat look and a yellow palette sometimes seen in 18th century faience pottery. If I had to venture a guess to its location I would say Spain or England. Other ideas anyone?

But what does that really mean? Is it an indefinable hybrid? An anomaly in the history of poetry? Are the very words "prose poem" an oxymoron? This groundbreaking anthology edited by celebrated poet David Lehman, editor of The Best American Poetry series, traces the form in all its dazzling variety from Poe and Emerson to Auden and Ashbery and on, right up to the present. In his brilliant and lucid introduction, Lehman defines the prose poem, summarizes its French heritage, and outlines its history in the United States. Included here are important works from masters of American literature, as well as poems by contemporary mainstays and emerging talents who demonstrate why the form has become an irresistible option for the practicing poet today. Great American Prose Poems is a marvelous collection, a must-have for anyone interested in the current state of the art. CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

A dumber society?
There is a lot of focus lately on the superficial.
Do you know that we all support this in one way or another?
We are in the process of accepting a less intellectual society.
There is more and more focus on our exterior and the materialism that surrounds us.
When I hear about a 16-year old that got a Botox shot from her mum as a Christmas gift I have to say that would be my limit!
Where are we expecting this to lead us?
It´s a vicious cycle that has spun out of control.
New reality shows are being presented all the time and they are getting more and more (feel free to fill in what you consider appropriate...)
Did you realise that these people are making millions on their lack of integrity and pride?
Sure there can be positive side effects as well, but at this point I fail in the attempt of mentioning only one...
You have to make money and shit loads at that, to be someone it seems.
What happened to what´s on the inside?
Have we thrown it all away?
You have to dress like this, or work with this, and socialise with these...
Come on!
Where did the brains go?
And the qualities?
It is sad to see that with the problems we are facing today, it is under no circumstance changing for the better.
It is NOT fair that while millions are suffering, you have people like Kim Kardashian making more money in one year than those who suffer will probably make in a lifetime.
And why is she making all these millions?
Because we are letting her.
We are watching her tv shows and buying magazines when she is on the cover.
I don´t mean to attack her in person, but in this particular post she is representing a rather new phenomenon:
The celebrity who is famous for being a celebrity...
I am not judging her in any way, although I realise, it may seem like I am.
What she makes is non of my concern and I am sure she works hard.
In aw, I am a contributing bystander of this new era and watch while they multiply.
I wonder when this trend will turn or if it ever will?
I will also like to point out the bloggers...
According to my sources blogging has been going on for about 8 years in Norway, but it is the past 3-4 years it has really gone big.
We are claiming a position in the written freelance culture that has up to recently been neglected by respected media.
Most of the top bloggers (note I am not one of them) share their lives on a personal basis, which I think is a good thing.
Young people need role models!
But the problem arises when the most popular blogs write about less intelligent topics like make up, fashion or how to braid your hair.
Seriously, if this had only been parts of the posts, but in many cases it is not...
I am pro all the things I just listed, but when you have a voice, you should also use it to build a better future and society and fairly take your share of the responsibility.
Use your voice to contribute to a wiser and more harmonious future.
Consider this an appeal to the new kind of celebrities and the bloggers:
Use your voice for the greater good, so far I have failed to hear you!
It is in the long perspective we change for the better - it is never done over night.
Create a debate and create a positive butterfly effect.
Reach out to those who need your voice and give them something of value.
It is, and will always be what is on the inside that counts!!
Oh you needed proof?
Here is a small contribution....

Key Productions Director Troy Lakey made a great decision to produce Jeff Baron's, "Visiting Mr. Green." He also had the good sense to cast it perfectly with George "Doc" Fosgate as Mr. Green and Benjamin Farmer as Ross.
The plot of the play is this, 86 year old widower, Mr. Green is almost hit by a car driven by young corporate executive Ross Gardiner. Found guilty of reckless driving, Ross is ordered to spend the next six months making weekly visits to Mr Green. What starts off as a comedy about two people who resent being in the same room together develops into a gripping and poignant drama, as family secrets are revealed and old wounds are opened.
After hearing what this play was about, I needed to see it. The venue was an interesting and appealing space at The Santuary @ Sandy Plaza - a repurposed Salvation Army church. Acoustics were fantastic. It's great venue for meetings, special events and productions.
Lakey took the roll of narrator for this drama, sometimes comedy. The comedic side came from the way the audience was able to relate to various exchanges, points of view and characteristics of the endearing, Mr. Green. The audience burst out laughing, chuckled, winced and cried at all the right parts. It was a languid rollercoaster of emotions that we all hated to see end. Just one more scene, perhaps two, please, don't end this relationship with "fade to black."
Benjamin Farmer was so convincing in the roll, passionate, compassionate and a bit of a standoffish prodigal son. His underlying gentleness came through from the beginning and stayed with us throughout the reveals in the various acts.
George Fosgate brings a true gift to this production. The transformation of seeing him walk in from off stage and settle into his roll of a man 15 years his senior was exciting and startling. He carried us through a convincing roll of an aging, lonely, widower.
This production and its actors deserve a larger venue and more elaborate sets. They don't need it, but they truly deserve it for what they both brought to these rolls.
Thank you, Troy Lakey for choosing to produce, "Visiting Mr. Green." I'm grateful to have seen this production with these actors and such a comfortable venue.

See also our Grupo del Facebook en Español
In an effort to bring our community together, even more, we have our own completely private and confidental Facebook group.
What is a private Facebook group?
This means that unless you're a member of this group, you cannot see any posts, who is or isn't a part of this group, or see that the group itself even exists. Joining this group, or posts that are made in the group do not appear on your news feed to anyone who is not already a member. We recognize how important your privacy and confidentiality are as you begin to address these issues and as you make connections with others in the North Star community.
It's also important to note that while we have a variety of email discussion groups for different demographics within our community, there is only one Facebook group for the entire North Star community. Men, women, spouses, family members and friends are all in the same group together. We may add other groups in time as need/demand dictates, but this is our only group for now. Thus, we ask that everyone in the group be mindful to keep conversation threads appropriate to our broader community interests and focus more demographic-appropriate conversations in the respective email discussion groups.
How to join:
Because there are such stringent privacy measures taken into account, one can not simply ask to join this group. They must be invited by someone that is already a member, then approved by one of our Moderators after agreeing to the membership rules, which are in-place to protect you, and others as well as ensuring a peaceful, positive atmosphere.
Requirement: Given the personal nature of Facebook and the amount of vulnerability involved, to join this group it is required that you use your real name and real identity, not use pseudonyms or nick names as is allowed in our other Discussion Groups.
Click to read the Group Rules...
Rule One: Qualifications
By joining the North Star Facebook support and fellowship group, you are certifying that your intention in joining is to receive and/or give support for living the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ as you strive to better understand and respond to the feelings and attractions you are experiencing. Individuals who do not experience feelings of same-gender attraction or gender identity concerns are also welcome to join as long as their sole intention is to give support and fellowship or increase in understanding for giving support to others. Anyone who joins under false pretenses will be immediately removed.
Rule Two: Confidentiality
All communications within the group must be kept strictly confidential. Unless you have obtained express permission of the author, you may not forward, discuss, or summarize messages here with anyone who is not a member of the list, including spouses or other family members. We do want people to feel safe and free to be open with others in the group without fear of unwanted disclosure, but please be aware that some issues may be more appropriate to discuss in our email discussion groups or forums.
For individuals who are spouses (current or divorced), or family members of individuals who deal with same-sex attraction or gender identity incongruence: When discussing your questions, feelings, and experiences, we remind you to please be mindful of stated desired privacy and anonymity of those loved ones for whom you are seeking support. Many men and women who experience homosexual attraction or gender dysphoria also experience high levels of anxiety about their feelings being known to others. As such, we encourage sensitivity to those feelings and to maintain the level of confidentiality and anonymity for your loved ones that they wish to maintain for themselves.
Rule Three: Participation
There is no rule of minimum participation, and some may not desire to actively post to the group, especially at first. This is fine. However, we do encourage active involvement in the group and suggest that posts be made to the group, rather than privately to individuals — except where group responses would be inappropriate — so that all members may learn and grow from one another. When private correspondence between individuals is deemed more appropriate, please remember that private messages are bound by all rules of North Star discussion group participation.
Consistent also with the rule of Confidentiality, if it is discovered that a group member who does not post is using group discussion content in other forums, particularly in ways that are derogatory or demeaning, that group member will be immediately removed.
Rule Four: Cross-posting
It is not uncommon for Facebook group members to also belong to more than one North Star group of varying demographics, or to other Facebook groups not sponsored by North Star. An individual may choose to send a single post to more than one group. This is entirely appropriate, considering:
posts are consistent with confidentiality rules and do not include personal information or message content of other individuals without first gaining their explicit consent, particularly if cross-posts are a response to one individual, and messages are consistent with the previously stated purpose of North Star discussion groups.
Rule Five: Discussion and Tone
We expect that all who post messages will do so with an attitude of love and friendship. Heartfelt discussion is encouraged. Disagreement, debate, and bantering are welcome, so long as they remain respectful and friendly. Avoid contention, insults, and unkind criticism. Outside of a few clear, gospel-centered values, many viewpoints and opinions are represented here; so, you cannot expect or insist that everyone will automatically share yours.
Please be sensitive of the experiences, beliefs, feelings, needs, and struggles of others, and avoid cynicism, sarcasm, and imputing bad motives to others. Approach differences with kindness and humility, and allow each individual their own opinion and the privilege of following the dictates of his or her own conscience.
Rule Six: Church- or Gay-Bashing
Everyone has noticed attitudes or beliefs among some Church members they would like to see change, and some have felt hurt by Church members or leaders, but we ask that remarks concerning Church members or leaders be constructive. Just like with yourself, positive results and change best occur if you can learn to focus on the positive, and there are many positive examples of Church members' response to those dealing with issues related to homosexuality or gender dysphoria.
Also, while we may not condone the choices of those who pursue homosexual relationships or engage in homosexual activity, or certain choices transgender individuals may make in seeking reconciliation, we must recognize and remember that each of us has the right to exercise our own moral agency. Those who may currently be following such a life course are God's children, whom He loves, and are in need of our love, compassion, understanding, and respect. Keep references positive and building rather than cutting and degrading. As Elder Dallin H. Oaks taught, "Our doctrines…condemn those who engage in so-called 'gay bashing' – physical or verbal attacks on persons thought to be involved in homosexual or lesbian behavior" ("Same-Gender Attraction," Ensign, October 1995).
Rule Seven: "I-Statements"
Please speak only for yourself and only about your own experience, feelings, and beliefs. Please make a conscience effort to use "I-statements" wherever possible, and never use "you should" statements. For example, you might say, "If I was in that situation, I would…," rather than "This is what you should do…"
Avoid telling others what they should do or believe, and certainly what they should feel. Please be very careful about giving unsolicited advice.
Rule Eight: Appropriate Group Content and Private Behavior
Inclusion of Links to Events or Other Resources
This Facebook group may not be used to promote or advertise groups, activities, internet sites, or publications whose ideals or content are out of harmony with the core values and teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ regarding the sacred and eternal nature of sexuality, gender, and the family –- whether from secular or religious sources. Events or resources referenced must be explicitly and exclusively supportive of the values and behavioral standards of the Church.
Message Content
Your posts on this group must not be sexually explicit. There are no "forbidden" words or subjects, but graphic descriptions of experiences or thoughts that may trigger unwanted feelings and emotions in some members should be avoided. Also, please avoid all coarse, vulgar, or offensive language.
Interpersonal Behavior
If you are approached by another group member for cyber-sex or any other inappropriate activity, or if you are feeling harassed by another group member, you will notify the moderator at once so the issue may be immediately addressed. This behavior is unacceptable in the group. Even if you are not a participant in such behavior, once you become aware of it you are required to disclose it to the moderators so that they may make sure the group remains safe and true to its mission. Failing to disclose knowledge of these activities is just as much grounds for removal as participating in the activities themselves.
While we welcome those who may currently struggle in their testimonies of the gospel or with homosexual behavior, to use this forum to "hook up" or meet others for purposes contrary to the gospel is strictly forbidden. Members of the group whose behavior hasn't been in harmony with their covenants should at least aim to align themselves with the principles of the gospel rather than to renounce their covenants or Church teachings or to advocate that others do so.
This group certainly can and should be used to find friends with whom you can relate and find support, but those with other motives must look elsewhere.
Integrity to Group Purpose
The purpose of this list should be to build faith and character. Though a wide range of discussion over how to deal with same-gender attraction or gender identity concerns in light of our commitment to the gospel is encouraged, arguments intended to dissuade members from keeping covenants or otherwise undermining their commitment to the gospel or the Church should not be posted.
We will strictly apply these rules; your violation of them may result in termination of your subscription.
× Collapse Rules
Send a message to our Official North Star page requesting membership to the group, with the following text included: "I have read all the rules and obligations of membership in the Facebook group and I commit to abide by them."
Also include your primary email address, age, city and state of residence, a brief description of your circumstances (some people include family or home situation, whether or not others know about their situations, etc.), and why you'd like to join the Facebook group.

It's difficult to display Muni-Meter receipts on motorcycles because they are stollen or blown away, bike enthusiasts Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Astoria) and Assemblyman Michael Den Dekker (D-Jackson Heights) say, which leads to countless unfair parking tickets.
Vallone has introduced legislation in the council and DenDekker in the the state Assembly to allow bikes to park free at Muni Meters — though they still will pay at conventional ones.
On Oct. 11, following a parking ticket Den Dekker received for not displaying his Muni-Meter receipt on his motorcycle, the two politicians joined together to promote their plan to provide the free parking for bikes across the five boroughs. Other supporters joined them to fill Borough Hall's steps, such as American Brotherhood Motorcycle Club President John Cartier, New York City Harley Owners Group President Joe Sessa and motorcycle riders from across the city.
"The people behind me are cops, firefighters, nurses and other hardworking professionals. We are not the 'Sons of Anarchy' — we are the sons and daughters of New York City," Vallone said. "Bikes don't hog spots, and we are just asking for fairness when it comes to parking in New York City."

Officers: Good neighbor helped catch burglars
Thomasville police have arrested two men and are looking for another who they say they found breaking into an elderly man's home Saturday night.
Police say they found one man hiding in the basement bathroom. The other they say they caught outside the house. Both men were wearing latex gloves, police said.
Police charged Luis Alfredo Barrera, 18, of Plaza Hollow Drive in Winston-Salem and Luis Angel Rosado, 30, of Cannon Street in Thomasville with second-degree burglary and possession of burglary tools.
Officers responded to W. Holly Hill Road at 10:11 p.m. after a neighbor called 911 and reported seeing suspicious activity at the house.
The first officer arrived to find two men at the back of the home. He arrested Barrera while another man ran away. Officers said Barrera had a crowbar and Rosado was hiding in a basement bathroom.
"The officers did a great job responding quickly to the call to catch these guys in action," said Det. Sgt. Brad Saintsing. "The owner of the home was not there at the time but has said that nothing is missing."
Police found the back door open.
Barrera received a $20,000 secured bond and Rosado received a $25,000 secured bond. Both were placed in the Davidson County Jail with a court date of Aug. 21 in Thomasville.
Police are looking for a third suspect in the robbery.
"We are still working to identify him," Saintsing said.
Saintsing said the department encourages the community to watch out for each other while staying safe.
"These arrests were the culmination of a vigilant citizen who was looking out for a neighbor and the quick response of the officers," Saintsing said. "This is an example of the residents being the eyes and ears of law enforcement and reporting suspicious activity that prevented the loss of property."
If anyone has any information about the crime, they can contact Crimestoppers at 336-476-8477.

Which New 52 Week Highs You Should Buy Now
The short interest is slightly elevated, albeit, not yet enough to make me want to worry about it. As long as it stays less than 4%, I won't give it much thought. Short interest is 3.2%, and if it starts to trend higher I recommend monitoring for a possible exit.

NorthStar Realty Finance (NRF)
NorthStar Realty Finance operates as a real estate investment trust in the U.S., trading an average of 1.7 million shares per day with a market cap of $900 million.52 Week High: $6.76 Beta: 1.82 Price to Book: 1.34 Shares moved higher 6.3% in the last month, but NorthStar is a relatively volatile stock. Like Carnival Cruise Lines, waiting for a retracement in price is a wise idea. Technically, over the longer term NorthStar appears very strong, but after the current strong run, holding out for an entry below $6.50 will provide greater breathing room. The current proportion sold short based on the float is 10.5%, and I find this much interest by short sellers worth looking at in more depth. The short interest isn't the only number above 10%. The dividend yield is pushing 10%, convincing short sellers to expect a reduction in dividends, and pushing the share price lower. Will the short sellers win this one? If you are willing to bet on the Fed maintaining a strong real estate market regardless of the consequences, you have to consider NorthStar Realty. NRF Revenue Per Share TTM data by YCharts

Barack Obama became the first sitting president to endorse gay marriage today. In an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts that will air on Good Morning America tomorrow, the president described his thoughts on gay marriage as an "evolution."
"I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," Obama told Roberts.
The president continued saying, "You know, Malia and Sasha, they have friends whose parents are same-sex couples. There have been times where Michelle and I have been sitting around the dinner table and we're talking about their friends and their parents and Malia and Sasha, it wouldn't dawn on them that somehow their friends' parents would be treated differently. It doesn't make sense to them and frankly, that's the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective."
The statement comes just days after Vice President Joe Biden announced that he was "absolutely comfortable" with same-sex marriage -- prompting many in the media and politics (and us here at iVillage!) to wonder when the president would publicly do the same.
In the past Obama has waffled on the issue of gay marriage, saying in 2004 that marriage was between a man and a woman, but disclosing in 2008 that he is supportive of civil unions of same-sex couples. The endorsement is a big victory for the gay community -- and likely bittersweet after North Carolina passed an amendment that defined marriage as between a man and a woman just last night.
When asked by Roberts if the first lady is on the same page, Obama responded, "This is something that, you know, we've talked about over the years and she, you know, she feels the same way, she feels the same way that I do."
