It seems gas prices go up everywhere the day after an article saying they are low appears in the newspaper. Why do we need an article in the paper to tell us they are low?
Yeah, better doors for schools. That's the answer.
Rip current law — are you serious!? Maybe we should have a law closing the beach when it goes over 100 degrees. What we need are fewer idiot laws and fewer idiot lawmakers.
Before you jump on the bandwagon criticizing the NRA for suggesting having armed police officers in schools, remember is was Bill Clinton who started Cops in Schools program.
It appears our senators, congressmen and the White House are more concerned about who they can blame for this financial mess rather than how they can fix it.
If you're a moron who has to have a gun and go bang, bang, bang, go buy a cap pistol. Stay in your yard and make sure you don't lose your mittens. Hopefully, a responsible adult will watch out for you.
May God bless America and all of us with a happy, healthy and safe new year. Peace on Earth and to all a happy new year, especially you, Quickly. See you next year.
I believe children should have to pass a gun safety course in order to graduate high school. It makes perfect sense.
Let us all enter the new year realizing that death is certain and life is uncertain.
Hello every single restaurant in Northwest Indiana, your restrooms are freezing. Please add space heaters or something. Please!

Time to shine for Louisiana man
By Greg Hicks
November 8, 2008 is a date that will live with me forever. I was definitely at the right place at the right time, and sheer luck was on my side that entire day.
It was unusually cold in northern Louisiana, and my feet were simply extensions of my legs.
My LaCrosse Granges, or what I call the official state boot, didn't offer a break from the cold because they had absolutely no insulation. I didn't think I'd need it. After all, it's Louisiana!
The small box stand where I sat that morning was nothing more than an aluminum cage - the kind polyethylene tanks come in. It was wrapped in roofing paper, and cold morning air lingered inside.
After an uneventful morning, I decided to move to another stand for the afternoon hunt, hoping the blood would start flowing again to my extremities. That stand was a few miles away, so I drove my truck and parked in my usual spot.
I exchanged hellos with hunters who were leaving empty-handed. I knew luck would obviously be needed if I was to be successful, and headed to my special spot for the afternoon.
This was to be a meat-getting day, and I'd already decided anything larger than a spike buck was going home with me.
Wouldn't you know it? As I rounded a bend, a spike standing in a lane caught my eye.
It was grazing 150 yards away with my box stand dead between us. I could tell it was facing away, and I tried to slip to the stand without alerting the little buck.
I made it within 20 yards of the stand when I heard a crash to the left of the lane where the spike stood.
A doe nervously jumped into the clearing not far behind the spike. Her actions seemed odd, and after she disappeared, I quickly saw why.
The spike watched her disappear, then turned toward the direction she'd come from. Its ears suddenly pinned back, and I instinctively knew what was coming.
When the big buck stepped out, I almost fainted!
Its high rack swung toward the spike about the same time I felt the wind hit the back of my neck.
I knew it was now or never, so I raised my rifle and attempted to shoot.
Despite my scope shaking from the excitement, I can still remember seeing that buck in the crosshairs. When the lines crossed the buck's shoulder, I squeezed off a shot.
It bolted. Just like that, my hunt was over. Eventually I composed myself and asked aloud, "Did that really just happen?"
Twenty minutes earlier, I'd been listening to high school football scores on the radio.
Slowly, I eased over to the place where the buck had entered the wood line. To my surprise, there wasn't a shred of evidence indicating a hit - not even a graze!
I made a few more steps into the woods but saw nothing. Thinking I'd missed and not wanting to disturb the area, I backed out and went home.
Two hours later I returned with a climbing stand and a trail camera. Getting another shot at this buck was now my goal for the year.
I eased into the woods where it had run, all the while scanning for blood, just in case.
As I made my way to a creek, I saw a stand of white oaks and knew this was the spot to hunt.
I stepped down into the creek bed, found an easy exit route and climbed back out.
As I stood there looking for a place to hang my stand, I saw something that made me almost fall out again.
There it was! My buck was lying beside one of the white oaks.
I couldn't believe my shot had been perfect. The buck simply didn't bleed at all. To this day, it's my best buck and one I still smile about each time I see its rack.
Hunting is a game of chance, and November 8, 2008 was my day to shine!

A PC user asked for a refund on Windows Vista after he bought a Dell computer that is built with the operating system.
"Have you ever actually read the Microsoft Windows End User License Agreement? It's pretty scary what you commit yourself to. If you buy Dell, then as soon as you start Windows then you agree to a second set of scary software terms. So reject them," he said on his blog.
It took 14 email exchanges with Dell until he got his money back. The time that it took was two months.

I listened to a fascinating BBC World Service podcast the other day on Taliban & Al Qaeda's finances. The thrust of the show was that an unintended consequence of an effective global crack-down on terror financing (freezing of accounts, prosecution of dubious "charities," etc.) has been to drive terrorist organizations to criminal activity to finance their political activities.
The result two-pronged awful: (1) Afghanistan is evolving into a narco-terrorist state in the tradition of Mexico, threatening its future stability, and (2) heroin and opium are killing more westerners than war.
"If we do not address this, it will be hard to solve all the other problems in Afghanistan," Mr. Costa said, adding that the lucrative nature of the heroin trade is creating a "narco-cartel" in Afghanistan that includes corrupt government and security officials.
The annual death toll in all NATO countries from heroin overdoses is estimated to be more than 10,000, an annual total that is about five times higher the number of NATO soldiers killed in Afghanistan in the past eight years, the report said.
There's policy implications in here somewhere. The US has shown how ineffective the "War on Drugs" can be (see: Central America) – I can only imagine its infinitely worse trying to wage such a war somewhere as distant and hostile as Afghanistan. On the flip side, liberalizing drug policy around something like heroin takes away the lion's teeth – at the expense of the fabric of our society.
At the root of the problem, I believe, is a mis-placed emphasis on the development of government & democracy in advance of a legitimate economy. The gap leaves the door open for insurgencies to strengthen their ties to a society, targeting to poor and disaffected, while newly minted governments provide them with ample motivation to do so – allegations of corruption, vote-rigging, and all the rest be-devil Afghan efforts, for example.
If an economy were built first (I'll leave it to you to imagine how), I'd like to think the task of government building would be easier: employed people with opportunities are interested in stability and growing their opportunities, not running off to the hinterlands to raise poppies and learn how to fire RPG's.
The bottom line is that the intersection of political-religious terrorism and narco-economics is a bad one.
What's your suggestion for beating it?

For the next twelve years, as a group, we spiraled down the levels of addiction. Although some spiraled faster than others, in our elitist attitude, we just laughed it off and believed we were too intelligent for it to happen to us. Finally, several people got divorced; others got psychiatrists, tried holistic medicine, died of suicide or alcohol related illnesses, or just stopped coming. Then the day came when our best friend came to tell us that he and his wife were having problems and they were going to join Alcoholics Anonymous. I was filled with dread at being the last holdout drinking with my husband, whose bizarre behavior had already led me to Al-Anon.
I decided to give AA a try, too. That was the beginning of a journey that helped me find the self I had lost in a haze of alcohol. For the next five years I corresponded nearly daily with that friend. Letter writing became an important piece of our recovery in AA. We both had trust issues that, at first, made it hard to confide in AA members. Letters were a safe place to discuss sensitive issues that were holding us back from doing our 4th and 5th Steps. Re-reading them helped us to measure progress at times when we weren't sure we were making any. At a point when we became mired in a conflict between the deception required by our relationship and the "rigorous honesty" required for lasting sobriety, a pair of adolescent alter-egos spontaneously emerged in our writing. They modeled new behaviors, put light on secrets that were keeping us sick, and gave us a way to lighten up and not take ourselves so seriously.
We found letter writing so helpful to our recovery the letters became the basis of a book written about our first five years of sobriety. Check it out at http://www.HootnGin.com. Also we and some sober friends write a blog about how AA continues to be pertinent in our lives long term. Join us at http://www.hootngin.blogspot.com.
Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.

One of my favorite add-ons is the Asian Pack! It always gives me the excuse to make up a big batch of stir fry. Today I wanted to do something different. Why not egg rolls! Simple enough, as all I needed were the wrappers. These egg rolls receive their heat from the dried Chiles de árbol in the pack. The coconut kiss, is a result of the rolls being fried in Bountiful Baskets scented organic Coconut Oil. Trust me, my house smelled amazing all day! (more…)

Honey Garlic Pork Chops, Cabbage Salad with Crunchy Noodles and Parmesan Crusted AsparagusMonday, November 25th, 2013
Someone once asked me why I volunteer every week at Bountiful Baskets. It's not like I'm not busy enough already. I have an extremely busy and demanding life. I have a beautiful family that cook for, clean up after, run a household for, play tag with…. I'm a mom; a jack of all trades! My kisses make pains go away, my hugs make fears go away, my tenderness makes people feel loved. I am a wife, a mother, a homemaker, a professional woman with my own staff and career. We are in the middle of starting our own business. I have personal goals and dreams that I give attention to. I have relationships that I make an effort to maintain. So why do I spend every Saturday morning getting up at the crack of dawn to volunteer for Bountiful Baskets when its only "suggested" once every 6 times?
Sautéed Cabbage and SausageSunday, July 28th, 2013
This is a delicious and easy recipe to use up a head of cabbage. You could also use water instead of beer but the beer gives it a more interesting flavor.
- 3 Italian Sausage Links, sliced (you could also use kielbasa)
- 3 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 small head of cabbage, shredded
- 1 C beer (I used a wheat beer but you can use whatever you have)
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- Cook the sausage and bacon in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the cabbage, beer and bouillon and cover. This will look like a lot of cabbage but it will reduce significantly as it cooks down. Cook the cabbage for 10 minutes (or until the liquid fully evaporates), stirring occasionally.

Many of us got cabbage last week so I thought I'd share my favorite recipe for it. This actually comes courtesy of my wife and her family so I can't take credit for it. It is one of the many things from her family though that I love. I should mention it is easily adjustable based on how much cabbage you have or want to use. Depending on what other plans we have for ours or how big the head is we vary the quantities a bit.

It's Time to Reconsider the Relationship Between Movies and MoralityCulture Warrior By Landon Palmer on January 22, 2013 | Comments (6)
Hollywood is used to being a scapegoat for acts of violence. Automatically implicating movies in the wake of unimaginable acts of atrocity has proven to be an easy way of pursuing closure without actually having to investigate anything; if we blame the fictions put on our movie screens made by people we don't know somewhere else, we don't have to feel the responsibility to do anything more, or accept the notion that incomprehensible events can't be pegged to a singular determining factor. In contrast to collective reactions to prior tragedies, assertions that movies are directly "responsible" for gun violence seem to carry significantly less weight in the current national conversation about gun control. However, entertainment media has been and will continue to be part of this conversation. As Scott Beggs pointed out last month in the wake of Newtown, if we're going to have a comprehensive conversation about guns and gun violence, then movies should by all means be a part of it – that is, part of an ongoing, dynamic critical dialogue rather than an assumed singular scapegoat.
'Parker' Trailer Finally Teams Jason Statham Up With Some A-List ActorsMovie News By Nathan Adams on October 3, 2012 | Comments (1)
Jason Statham has made so many movies where he plays a gun-shooting, high-kicking criminal who lives by a strict moral code that the Jason Statham Movie has become a genre unto itself. Generally all of these movies have forgettable one word titles, like Crank, Safe, or Blitz, but that doesn't end up mattering much, because you can just tell people that you're going to see the new Jason Statham Movie, and they'll know what you're talking about. Jason Statham Movies generally have another thing in common, as well. They feature Jason Statham's gruff charisma and high-impact fight scenes as their star, and offer up little else. Things like storytelling or supporting talent don't really matter when you know that you can trot Statham out a couple times a year, have him go through the motions, and still turn a profit. Parker looks like it's going to be a Jason Statham Movie with a couple more tricks up its sleeve, though. Instead of relying on the star power of Statham alone, director Taylor Hackford's new film teams him up with big names like Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, and Nick Nolte (and Bunk from The Wire!). The results are impressive at first glance, with Statham obviously having immediate chemistry with Lopez especially.
Galactic Goofs: The 10 Stupidest Crew Mistakes in 'Prometheus'Boiling Point By Robert Fure on June 11, 2012 | Comments (133)
It was perhaps the most anticipated movie of the year after The Dark Knight Rises, but Ridley Scott's return to the Alien world in Prometheus has been anything but universally embraced. While many enjoyed the film, an equal (at least) amount disliked it. Regardless of what camp you fall into, I think we can all agree that the crew of Prometheus the ship and Prometheus the movie were pretty stupid, for being future geniuses and all. Here, we count down the ten stupidest decisions and actions made by the crew in Ridley Scott's Prometheus. Of course, there are tons of spoilers inside.
Coroner's Report: Rare ExportsFeatures By Robert Fure on January 5, 2012 | Comments (1)
I'm not certain why, but when Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale played during the one Fantastic Fest I was present at, I missed it. I was probably drunk on Peanut Butter Milkshakes and also whiskey and Rob Hunter had yet to convince me to start watching movies with subtitles. Over the recent Christmas season (it's over now, take down your decorations), I caught up with the film in the comfort of my own home all while being mostly sober. Rare Exports is a Finnish import about the havoc created when the truth about Santa Claus is quite literally unearthed. You think you know all about this jolly fat man, but brother, you ain't seen nothing yet. If you watch this film though, you'll see plenty of old man dicks, so there's that, in addition to a pretty pleasing film.
Boiling Point: Why Don't I Just Put This Gun Down Here (or Why Think About the Future?)Boiling Point By Robert Fure on October 24, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
In the cinematic world, protagonists face a lot of challenges. It can be Sasquatch or Yeti, German thieves or vaguely ethnic terrorists, zombies, aliens, werewolves, or vampires, and that's just the exotic list. Our heroes might face down against a redneck hillbilly, a couple of gangbangers, or some cracked out carjacker. Simply put – it's hard out there for a pimp. To combat these varied dangers, a hero must go armed. The proper choice of weapon depends on the threat faced, availability, and the environment. I'm not sure anyone has ever fought a hillbilly without the aide of a bow or crossbow, stopped a robbery without a pistol, or put down a zombie apocalypse without the use of a shotgun. In the face of such great dangers, you'd think that the protagonist would make sure that he and his companions were always well equipped to face adversity. But you'd be wrong.

Beyond just reviewing action films, Bullet Points sets its sights on the genre as a whole- from stunts to guns, ass kickings to wire-fu and even just what the hell makes action films so great in the first place. In what is effectively our first official Bullet Points entry we wanted to get right to the ignition point of the explosion and discuss the ultimate principle of the action universe. That is, what makes a damn fine shoot 'em up, beat 'em up, blow 'em up?

Police try to ID man who scammed 69-year-old woman
Police in Jacksonville are trying to identify a man who they said scammed a 69-year-old woman in a Walmart parking lot last week.
The woman told police that after shopping at the store in the 10900 block of San Jose Boulevard about 2 p.m. Jan. 14, she was approached in the parking lot by the man.
He told her he had found a large sum of money and if she paid a collateral payment she would be entitled to a portion of the money, police said. A female accomplice went with the victim to the bank, where she withdrew money from her account, police said.
The victim handed over the money as well as numerous jewelry items as collateral to the accomplice, who then gave them to the man.

It may seem hard to get excited about consuming a plant which is commonly referred to as, "Stinging Nettles." Many people know the herb as an annoying garden weed, or a dangerous plant to avoid. Others have been warned to be frightened of the plant, as it delivers quite a stinging bite when it comes into contact with the skin. And, while it is true that you should take care when dealing with nettles in the plant form, after you read about the incredibly powerful effects of this herb on many systems in the human body, you make rethink your initial aversion to this potent little weed.
During the springtime, this "wonder weed" can be found growing in massive groves, especially in places that provide the exact conditions that nettles love: a semi-shady spot in some rich soil. For hundreds of years, many cultures from all over the world have been ingesting nettles as a energy tonic. But what did these ancient people know about nettles that we don't? Traditional practitioners of natural medicine seem to have intuitively known that nettles is an excellent source of iron, protein and other important minerals for healthy living.
Whether in teas or in tinctures, traditional practitioners of herbal medicine have used nettles to make the eyes brighter, the hair shinier, and the blood clean and potent. Nettles is also used to increase the strength and length of hair in beauty regimes. In fact, some herbalists swear by organic nettles ability to actually stimulate hair growth in balding men!¹
It's also a well-known fact that drinking nettles can help improve the appearance of your skin, making it clearer and healthier. You can use nettles in a tea or tincture form, but it may also be used in the kitchen as an edible and tasty vegetable. You can cook with nettles just as you would any dark leafy green herb. With a 10 percent protein ratio, nettles are a wonderful additive to sauces, baked dishes or salads.
The History of Nettle Leaf
Nettle, or Urtica dioica, comes from the Latin root-word, "uro," meaning "I burn." This is most likely a direct reference to the curious stinging sensation that can accompany touching the plant. The Nettles plant has tiny little hairs on its leaves, and these hairs leave a stinging residue that affects human skin.
While today this plant can be found growing throughout the world – due to our newfound abilities to cultivate plants in controlled environments – it naturally grows in the more temperate regions. And although it grows perfectly well in the U.S., nettles is not native to North America, but was brought here, from England, by John Josselyn.
For hundreds of years, the root and leaves of this plant have been commonly used as a medicinal herb, a healthy vegetable for human consumption, as well as a tough material for making clothes. The ancient Greeks used the plant for a variety of everyday ailments such as arthritis, troublesome coughs, tuberculosis, and as a hair-growth tonic.

The Pentagon burns as a result of the terrorist
attacks Sept. 11, 2001.
Memories shared about 9/11 tragedy
'I was standing in Eddy Daniel's office the morning of the attacks working on a project for Lavon Water Supply Corporation. We heard about it on the radio and work pretty much came to a stand still as we listened in horror to reports of what was happening. We completed our business and I drove to the office listening to WBAP all the way.
Once at the office I joined my brothers in front of the television and we watched the events of the day unfold. I'll never forget the feeling of hatred I had for the terrorists and their cowardly acts.
Needless to say, very little work got done that day.'
Mayor Joe Helmberger
'The day it occurred I had just gotten off shift on the ambulance and went home. My mother was living with us at the time and she came in telling me a plane crashed into one of the towers. I, like many, thought it must have been a small plane with a poor pilot to have such a thing happen.
As I was watching the news we both watched the second plane fly into the other tower. I remember mom began to cry saying she felt like this was Pearl Harbor all over again and when we watched the buildings crumble my heart sank because I knew the loss of life would be high and I saw the damaged fire trucks.
Sometimes it bothers me that we as a country stood united, we were hurt and we were mad but it seems many have already forgotten how they felt that day and make stupid remarks that we shouldn't be there, it doesn't involve us.
I know I will never forget, and I thank God that he created men and women who are willing to put others above their self even at the cost of their own life. America's full of them!'
Fire Chief Kim Morris
'I was working in the Library at the old Intermediate building. Mrs. Henry came in and told me a plane had hit a building in New York. Back them we had televisions and I turned one on to the news. I remember Mary Hemby came across the hall and watched for a minute. I looked at her and said, "It's Osama."
Throughout the day staff came in and out of the Library looking at the live news coverage. It was a day of confusion, disbelief and prayer. I have never watched anything since that day that replays the 9/11 tragedy. Once is enough, I'll never forget. I don't want to see it again.'
Donna Wiggins
'For me personally, my most vivid memory was being out of town, away from my family at a school. It's a helpless feeling not being with your loved one's when something like this happens…but quite frankly, I like most of the country had never experienced anything like this.
I would venture to say that the brave firefighters and police officers who were there and responded to the Towers that faithful day would ever imagine such an event or scenario, but that didn't stop them. To watch it live in real time on TV was surreal as well, those images will stay with me forever and hopefully, we'll never forget the 3,000 lives lost that day.'
Police Chief Mike Sullivan
'It was at the beginning of school, and I was busy preparing the modification/accommodations sheets for the dyslexic students in Greenville High School. The bell sounded for the second period to begin. All of a sudden, students burst in my room telling me what had happened. I know that I was in disbelief. Of course, we began to learn more about the situation throughout this very sad day.
As far as making plans for the 10th Anniversary, I think the best thing to do is to remember all those that were touched by this tragedy with a moment of silence and prayer.'
Linda Hess
'My daughter and I were leaving the dentist office in McKinney when we saw the first plane hit the twin towers on TV.
Before I could get her back to Merit to school the Coast Guard had already called my son Kaz and told him to be prepared to get a call to deploy.
He had served his three years active and was in reserves at this time. Within two days he was recalled and stationed in Galveston to protect our borders and oil refineries there.
He served there for two months before he was released to come home. It was a very emotional day and so were the following two months for us.'
Kim Smith-Cole
'I was in California at my girlfriend's house watching the news on tv, which was something I never did. She even made a comment as to why I was actually watching the news that morning. I saw on that there was something going on, but just thought it was a fire. That's when I watched the second plane hit to tower.
Apparently my face was white because she got really scared when she saw my face. She wasn't able to see the tv, so she had no clue what I was looking at. What immediately ran through my mind was my family.
My step father was at the Sacramento airport on his way to New York. My sister and brother in law were at the Orange County Airport on their way to Hawaii. I couldn't get a hold of either of them. My mother was staying at my sister's house. She was asleep at the time. I drove over because I didn't want her to wake up and panic.
By the time I got to my sister's house, I had been able to verify that the rest of my family was ok. I woke her up, told her the news, and reassured her that everyone was ok. Her and I sat and watched the news for what seemed like forever at that point. I have never seen my mother cry like that, and I hope to never see that again. I remember all too well that day.'
Lee Warren
'My twin daughters and I were taking a break from home schooling when my husband called. He asked me to quickly turn the television on and not to let the girls see what was unfolding on the news.
As I watched what had been taking place, all I could say was "oh my God, oh my God, oh my God" ... in a whisper, calmly of course, as to not alarm our daughters. They were 8 at the time yet nothing escaped their eyes and ears.
Soon enough they understood exactly what was transpiring. It was an out of body experience. I remember the rest of the day hearing on the t.v. the world seemed to have stopped.'
Becca Gatewood
'I was at work when it happened. I was very worried about my cousin and his wife that live there. They were ok but lived very close to the buildings. I felt such a deep sadness. A hopelessness that our United States would never be the same. A fear that no one was safe anywhere. And all the time asking why.'
Patti Ford
'For myself, early on the morning of the 11th, I rushed through the den of my North Dallas home to get to my studio bathroom, where I usually showered and shaved before starting the seven or eight minute drive to the Richland College campus, where I taught.
Having already started coffee in the kitchen, and having turned on the TV in the den for the morning's news, I did find it odd to see an image on the TV screen of a plane crashing into a building, but then honestly thought that the selected channel must be showing a re-run of a popular "disaster" movie like "Earthquake" or "Towering Inferno." I went on to complete my shaving and showering duties. Returning to the den moments later, I was stunned to see the same image again, realizing that planes had flown into buildings in New York, and it wasn't a movie.
Later that terrible morning, I stood with my students (and passers-by) at the entry to my classroom. Holding hands, we of many faiths, prayed aloud for the victims and their families.'
Tom Motley
'I was on my way to college classes that morning. I noticed that everyone was driving really politely, almost quietly. None of the normal silliness that you see in morning rush hour, with people passing, going inane speeds and cutting others off, and no honking. I turned the radio on and while listening to the news reports my first thoughts were that it had to be a joke. It's no wonder everyone was driving like that, we were all listening to the same thing and we were all in shock.
My teacher canceled her morning class so we could all watch the news on the big TV in the den on campus. At first the news reports thought it was just a horrible accident, but when the second plane came we knew it was no accident. I cannot put into words how we were all feeling as we watched the events unfold on the screen, but to name just a few… shock, horror, disbelief, sadness, sympathy.
That was a morning that I will never forget, sitting there with my fellow students, watching the news as the towers fell and our world stunned. I also remember how quiet the skies were. We see and hear the planes heading in to DFW constantly, but in the days following the attacks it was so very silent. In a way the silence felt right and wrong at the same time. It was right in the sense that it was an extended "moment of silence"; and wrong because our country had been shaken up and forever changed by the events.'

Planning for Deer
First, you plan your landscaping. Then you plant your trees and shrubs. Then the deer eat them. That seems to be the pattern for landscaping in large parts of the country. And that's why finding trees not on the deer menu is so important. If you need to plan around deer, here are 3 trees that look great to people, but don't appeal to our 4-legged intruders.

The ACC has long been dedicated to patient-centered care and has engaged in numerous endeavors that promote cardiovascular health, empower patients to be proactive in their care, and strengthen the patient-clinician relationship. CardioSmart, ACC's patient education and empowerment initiative, brings patients and clinicians together to prevent, treat and manage cardiovascular disease. The Patient-Centered Care Community on CardioSource introduces ACC members to ways in which CardioSmart can serve as their vehicle for facilitating more patient-centered care.
Patient-centered care is also at the core of many of ACC's quality initiatives. For example, the new ACC Patient Navigator Program addresses the readmissions issue by supporting a team of caregivers dedicated to helping patients overcome challenges during their hospital stay and in the weeks following discharge when they are most vulnerable. The ultimate goal of the program is to develop and support a culture of patient-centered care that can be implemented in other hospitals.
As the shift from the clinician- or disease-centered model of care to a model that revolves around the patient progresses, the College and other stakeholders will continue to work together to find solutions that put the patient first.

Best Off-Season Summer Destinations
Summer travel can be easy on your wallet, thanks to off-season destinations that continue to lure visitors with great hotels, attractions and -- best of all -- savings. Low-season prices in some top countries around the world prove travelers can beat the crowds without any effort and enjoy both major discounts at top hotels and exciting activities that fly under the radar in off-peak season. We rounded up the best off-season destinations (many in the United States!) for summer vacationing. Not only are these jaunts budget-friendly, they'll create unforgettable memories for any type of traveler. Prices and promotions are current as of June 2012.
MexicoMexico in general can be a budget-minded destination year-round, but summer is an especially ideal time to visit when all-inclusive hotels and several airlines slash rates, and the number of discounts that travelers can find at restaurants, shops and general attractions increases. In Playa del Carmen, the Acanto Boutique Hotel is only $99 per night -- travelers must call (888) 331-2177 to book.
The AAA, 5-Diamond Ritz-Carlton Cancun starts at $229 per night, a great deal considering high-season rates go as high as $659. Also, the all-inclusive Palace Resorts in Cancun is offering $213 per person, per night (compared with $269 in high season). Stay 5 to 8 nights and receive $1,500 in resort credit per room.
VietnamAlready an off-the-beaten path destination in Southeast Asia, Vietnam has always been backpacker-friendly. Now luxury-minded travelers are finding great deals at their favorite hotels. The summers may be hot, but it's worth the savings. In Hanoi, travelers can expect fewer crowds at top attractions like the National Museum of Vietnamese History and the Hanoi Opera House.
The best place to set up camp is at Sofitel Legend Metropole in the heart of Hanoi. The hotel includes 364 rooms, 3 restaurants, an outdoor pool and terrific spa. Rates are approximately $220 (compared with high season's $350) so it's a welcome steal. In Ho Chi Minh City, guests who buy 2 nights at Park Hyatt Saigon get the third night free. The hotel sets up exciting adventures like cooking classes, night Vespa tours and trips to the Mekong Delta.
FloridaBargains abound this summer in the Sunshine State. Even though many cities (like Orlando) are still crowded, South Florida is less of a circus in the summer months, and you don't have to jostle for towel space on the beach. The quirky town of Delray Beach has some of the best Florida beaches on the coast and a fun, bohemian community to boot. Stay at the Seagate Hotel & Spa, where the Weekday Breakaway Summer Package offers rooms at only $239 per night and includes a $50 resort credit, 2 comp fitness classes and special welcome amenity.
The Marquesa Hotel in the heart of Key West is a former 1884 "conch" house with rates almost half off in summer. Travelers can take in that iconic sunset, then hit the streets for famous psychic readings. If you're heading to Miami, the fancy JW Marriott Marquis Miami summer rates are almost half off, starting at $239.
ArizonaDon't be surprised to see tumbleweeds roll -- literally and metaphorically -- in Arizona over the summer (excluding the Grand Canyon, of course). The temperature rises but travelers who can bear the heat park themselves near the bounty of rivers and hotel pools to cool off. Head to Scottsdale, AZ, known to pamper the well-heeled traveler with luxury hotels and the magnificent Camelback Mountain.
Stay at the 239-room Montelucia Resort & Spa, which offers rates at a jaw-dropping $150 per night (compared with $419 during high season) and buy 1 treatment, get another 50% off in their Joya Spa. The iconic Phoenician (with 9 pools, 24-hole golf course, 11 tennis courts and 7 restaurants) starts at $169, which is more than 50% off peak-season rates.
The Four Seasons Troon North starts at $149 (compared with $459 during high season) and over in Phoenix, JW Marriott Desert Ridge offers a Family Fling package (from $149 per night) that includes free meals for kids. Feeling spiritual? Head to Sedona, home of the inspiring Red Rocks, where the intimate L'Auberge de Sedona resort just received a $25 million renovation and now flaunts cliffside villas for summer.
US Virgin IslandsNothing beats living on "island time" this summer in tropical paradise. Many airlines cut routes to the Caribbean from North America for the season, indicating that fewer people are going. Hotel rates drop considerably, and travelers can expect great packages -- and fewer crowds to boot. An easy target is US Virgin Islands (no passport required if you're a US citizen).
The islands offer the Sizzlin' Sampler package from June 1 to Sept. 30, which includes a $200 instant credit toward any booking with minimum 5-night stay at a participating hotel (fifth night free), along with $50 in shopping certificates, $50 in attractions and $40 in dining certificates. Summer is also popular for events like Mango Melee, St. John Festival and Bastille Day Kingfish Tournament.
UtahKnown for terrific ski slopes, Utah is equally exciting in the summer with thrilling outdoor adventures and unimaginable landscapes. In fact, summer is an ideal time to visit as travelers can experience many exciting adventures only available between June and September, like white-water rafting, mountain biking and attending outdoor concerts. The new guided-hike program at Canyons Resort in Park City, UT, offers custom-created, European-style guided hikes that explore the vast Wasatch mountain range and famous canyons. Rates drop up to 50% off.
At Washington School House Hotel (an actual former schoolhouse from 1889), you can tell staff where you want to go and they'll take you there and set you up, though most outdoor activities can be experienced on grounds (like fishing, golf, kayaking and hiking). Don't forget to sample some whiskey at High West Distillery & Saloon (Utah's first legal distillery), popular over summer months. Head to Cedar City, known as Festival City, which brims with myriad outdoor events over the summer months.
BelizeBelize is an emerging destination for Central America, and summer will have travelers experiencing local culture without hordes of tourists, in addition to great local festivals that most winter travelers will miss (Toledo Cacao Festival, Benque Fiesta and lobster festivals). Summer is the rainy season and, though you might get a little wet, the number of wildlife preserves will pop in vibrant colors. Furthermore, the rainfall doesn't last all day.
Check into some eco-friendly resorts, like Victoria House in Ambergris Caye, a highly touted luxury resort that flaunts thatch-roof casitas in a cool, colonial setting. Rooms start at $150 per night over the summer (must book via www.travelbeyond.com), with many free amenities included (breakfast, bottle of wine upon check-in and welcome cocktails). The hotel also offers free upgrades, which are more likely to be available in low season.

Eliza* was trying to get her struggling three year old daughter into her stroller when, to her horror, she heard herself saying words she had vowed never to utter - phrases her mother had used throughout Eliza's childhood. Despite all of her efforts to parent her own children very differently, Eliza found that those familiar sentences were the first to come into her brain and out of her mouth when she and her daughter were engaged in a difficult struggle.
Once it was a girl's dream to be just like her mom. Now it's more like every woman's nightmare. Yet it happens to us all. Like Eliza we hear our mother's words leaving our own mouths, or we look in a mirror and catch a glimpse of a familiar expression - not our own - and, as we get older, we see surprising reflections of our mother stare back at us every time we wash our face or brush our teeth.

Cold Case: DNA Now Pulled From Fetus Found in Water Treatment Facility
DAYTON -- A fetus found a decade ago in the Waste Water Treatment is a cold case in the city of Dayton.
Investigators recently came across the 2004 file and found that a DNA profile was never done, according to a Dayton Police report. With updated DNA technologies, the department is moving forward to update the unsolved file. The Montgomery County Coroner's Office was able to pull a DNA sample to enter into its local profile database.
"The profile from the fetus could be entered into the quota database as unidentified human remains," said Denise Rankin, assistant Director for Montgomery County Coroner's Office.
A Dayton Police report indicates the fetus was found at 1825 South Broadway by a water treatment employee who found the fetus trapped in a converter screen. The fetus was too large to pass through their system. The case dates back November of 2004.
A Montgomery County Coroner's report indicates the fetus was approximately eight inches long.
With new technology, the DNA may be able to provide a hit in the future if a direct family member's DNA was pulled too.
"We could also compare the profile of the fetus to known persons who might think they are relatives of that," said Rankin.
Rankin said there are a number of new technologies in recent years to help with profiling the fetus.

These are just your average party shoes, I got them because I thought I could finally get a pair that would fit, thinking since Im a sz 10 that a 10.5 would be just right. They are pretty tight and around the edge of the shoe were it meets your foot is painful. It really digs in, it looks like its just a hard pleather at the seam. The strap has a tiny amount of stretch to it so I will have to add some more elastic to it because its way too tight across the foot too. Id say the strap is probably the most uncomfortable part of it because the other problems might go away on they're own with wear. I liked the height and the thicker heel for steadier walking, just be prepared to work on them a bit to get comfortable.

More Success With Gene Therapy for Blindness
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- As a child, Tami Morehouse had vision problems. She struggled to read the blackboard at school, and homework took hours.
Yet, she made it through high school and college, and became a social worker. Although she was never able to drive, she learned to ride a bike.
But in her 30s, with three young children, her vision took a turn for the worse. "I'd be reading a book and the words faded away," she said.
Morehouse was going blind, the result of Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), a rare inherited eye disease that causes a progressive loss of vision. "As my kids needed me more and more, I was able to do less and less," Morehouse said.
That changed in 2009, when she was one of 12 people to undergo an experimental treatment using gene therapy in one eye. Now, scientists report even more progress, having successfully treated the second eye of three patients, including Morehouse. The new results are published Feb. 8 in Science Translational Medicine.
LCA is caused by a faulty gene, RPE65, that fails to produce an enzyme needed by the retina, the tissue in the back of the eye that converts light images into nerve signals that get sent to the brain.
Lack of the enzyme causes toxic byproducts to build up in the retinal cells, gradually killing them.
"It's inevitable and progressive, and people watch as they are losing more and more of their vision," said Dr. Jean Bennett, an ophthalmology professor at University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and co-leader of the research team that pioneered the treatment. "By the time they're teenagers or young adults, they are severely impaired."
The treatment involved injecting a virus genetically engineered to carry a normal version of gene RPE65 into the retinal cells.
About two weeks later, with the eyes now producing the enzyme, the patients -- adults and children -- saw a marked improvement in their vision.
"They all gained vision in a very meaningful way," said Bennett, also a scientist at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "Children can read books, ride their bikes to their friends' houses -- things which they never could do before."
Initially, researchers only injected one eye because of safety concerns, Bennett explained. The fear was that the first injection would prime the immune system to recognize the virus and attack it when it was injected into the second eye. That would cause inflammation in the eye, potentially leading to more vision loss.
But animal studies showed that didn't happen, and so they decided it was safe to try the second eye in adults.
"It's amazing," Morehouse said. "I just feel so different. I used to wake up in the morning, so afraid and so anxious, that I would look over at the alarm clock and see nothing."
Prior to the treatments, she could see light and dark, but most of the world was hazy and gray. By night time, when her eyes were tired, she could see very little.
Today, her vision is still significantly impaired. She needs help finding her way to a table in a restaurant, for example, and reading isn't really possible. Yet, she can tell when someone is approaching, and she can make out a smile.
"Seeing my daughter walk across the basketball court. Seeing my son step up to the plate when he's playing ball -- it's phenomenal," Morehouse said.
Researchers verified that patients could see more by performing functional MRI scans before and after the second eye treatment. The brain imaging showed much more response to visual stimuli after their second eye was done.
At 47, Morehouse was the oldest patient. The prior study taught researchers that children improved the most, probably because their retinal cells had suffered less damage.
Now that researchers have established the procedure is safe in adults, they've started using gene therapy on the second eyes of children with the condition, Bennett said.
Though more research needs to be done and there are "technical" issues to be overcome, "we want to be able to use this approach in developing similar treatments for other more common blinding diseases," she said.
Dr. Richard Lewis, a clinical correspondent for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, called the results "exciting." Not only did the results show that treating the second eye is safe and effective, but that vision in the first eye also appears to improve as well.
"This is setting us up for the next step, which is to take the 5-year-old, the 8-year-old, or even the 6-month-old who has the mutation in this particular gene, and replace the enzyme using gene replacement therapy before permanent damage is done," said Lewis, who is a professor of ophthalmology at Baylor College of Medicine's Cullen Eye Institute in Houston.

After Chicago snapped Miami's 27-game winning streak Tuesday night, the Knicks took over the current longest winning streak in the NBA with six. It's no 27 but what this six game winning streak shows is something extremely significant. Every member of the team is stepping up in the absence of Tyson Chandler and Amare Stoudemire but J.R. Smith has not only risen to the occasion, he has altered his offensive game and maximized his talents.
In the beginning of the season J.R. Smith got off to an extremely hot start and was a frontrunner for the 6th man of the year award. Although his success was an incredible sight to witness, Knicks fans could not help but feel a sense of frustration when he would sometimes get caught up in his old habits of dribbling more than he should and resorting to a low-percentage fade away jumper. Everybody knows that there is an incredibly gifted talent in Smith but sometimes he would interfere with his own abilities.
During this six game stretch it appears that something in Smith has changed. He is more readily squaring up to the hoop when he ball gets in his hands and preparing to attack the rim as opposed to settling for mid-range jumpers. Smith's athleticism, quickness and ball handling play a tremendous role in his success to penetrate defenses and earn trips to the free throw line. In the past two games, Smith has gone 17-18 from the free throw line, which has played a major part in putting up back-to-back thirty point performances.
Smith's newly found success has also included offensive rebounding. He is getting to where he needs to be and extending Knicks possessions. Smith had four offensive rebounds in Tuesday night's 108-101 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
The question now surfaces as to whether the Knicks can count on this J.R. Smith for the playoffs and there is a lot to suggest that they can. Mike Woodson has taken a strong interest in Smith since the Knicks have signed him and ever since then Smith has continually improved his offensive game. Smith is also a player that thrives when others depend on him; it fuels his offensive flow. The last time the Knicks played the Heat they blew a sixteen point halftime lead mainly because LeBron James was assigned to Carmelo Anthony in the second half and it plugged the Knicks offense. This is why the Knicks will be relying heavily on Smith. Taking the pressure off Carmelo Anthony and forcing defenses to respect another talented scorer will greatly open up the Knicks offense and increase their chances of success.
