The Daily Mail arrive fashionably late to the Roy Keane story, and The Sun reveal Mario Balotelli's 'secret'...
All Articles
Scraping The Trough
Charles Sale in the Daily Mail has got his hands on Football Association minutes, and it's exactly as interesting as it sounds. Still, any excuse to get on the FA's back.
The minute he picks is really juicy, in fairness, coming as it does from the hours directly before the FA Trophy Final in March.
So what was the big admission, the smoking gun that shows how rotten the FA are? Strap in folks....'Lunch commenced slightly later than scheduled'. BANG!
How does Sale react to such insignificant 'news'? 'The FA's ludicrous protocol committee showed once again that they care more about having their faces in the trough than anything else. No wonder FA chairman Greg Dyke wants root and branch reform of the 'increasingly irrelevant' council body.'
Mediawatch could remark that the committee having their lunch later would seem to suggest they care less, rather than more, about having their 'faces in the trough', but we will settle for this: Dear, dear me.
Goalkeeper Captain
England aren't exactly blessed with options to be the next captain, but Dave Kidd in the Daily Mirror still manages to find the weakest of arguments when plenty of stronger ones are available.
'Mentioned last week that there were no compelling candidates to succeed Steven Gerrard as England skipper and suggestions that Joe Hart is in the frame seems to underline that fact,' Kidd begins.
That's a statement with which Mediawatch largely agrees. Hart is not captain of his club and faces a season during which his position as first-choice goalkeeper at Manchester City may come under considerable threat. In addition, there are valid questions as to whether he has the right personality for the role. He may well be an imperfect choice for any or all of those reasons.
'If the captaincy is to mean anything practical, it cannot go to a goalkeeper,' Kidd continues.
That argument would be a great deal more palatable had Dino Zoff and Iker Casillas not both captained their country to World Cup victories, and six countries at this summer's World Cup were captained by their goalkeeper. Finally, who captained England five times at World Cup '86 and '90? Peter Shilton, of course.
Rather than address the aforementioned concerns, Kidd has instead to simply use the sweeping argument of 'goalkeeper can't be captain'.
The Daily Mail's Slow Summer, Part One
One of the issues with this time of year is that news is thin on the ground, meaning mountains must be made out proverbial molehills. And that is where the Daily Mail website very much does what it does worst.
'Do Liverpool have the most tattooed defence in the Premier League?' asks the headline to a piece by John Drayton. It's like a hard-hitting episode of Question Time.
'Dejan Lovren's £20million arrival to Liverpool was the club's most expensive transfer for a defender in their history but has it sealed them the most tattooed defence in the Premier League ahead of next season?' it begins. Sigh.
'Alongside Glen Johnson, Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger, the Croatian's move to Anfield now means Brendan Rodgers could field a back-line of heavily-inked up players.'
A few things, guys:
a) Who cares?
b) It's not news.
c) Take a long hard look at yourselves.
The Daily Mail's Slow Summer, Part Two
As Mediawatch dances its way to work in the sunshine (we like it here), it occasionally looks to the front page of the Daily Mail football website for early inspiration. It rarely fails to disappoint.
'Gerard Pique doesn't look too impressed as Barcelona arrive at £105m St George's Park for pre-season training,' blerts out the headline of a story that was TOP of their homepage on Tuesday morning.
'It may have cost over £100 million to build,' the piece begins. 'But Gerard Pique didn't appear too impressed as Barcelona arrived at St George's Park to begin their pre-season preparations.'
So, has Pique gone on strike, refusing to train in such facilities? Has he chained himself to his hotel room radiator, refusing to come out until all pitches are re-laid? No, not really.
Instead, the entire 575-word story (we'll say that again: 575 words) is based around an Instagram self-taken photo of Pique in his hotel room in which he is looks rather serious.
Kill us now.
Spot The Odd One(s) Out
Fantastic work from the Daily Mirror website, who draw Arsenal fans (and a suspicious Mediawatch) in nicely with their '4 players Arsenal should sign this summer if they want to challenge for Premier League title' article. 'Realistic is the key word,' we are reminded.
Four seems the type of number to indicate that options were thin on the ground, with its writer Lee Hurley even admitting as much: 'I don't generally have a massive shopping list...perhaps it points more to my ignorance about other players... I struggled for a few days'.
So who are these four 'realistic' signings? Well, Neven Subotic and Lars Bender are two, and both seem reasonable. Good start.
The third is Damian Martinez, an Argentinean goalkeeper who already plays for Arsenal. So not a signing at all.
The fourth is Sergio Aguero. He 'struggled for a few days' and then came up with Sergio sodding Aguero.
The Daily Mail's bizarre obsession with criticising Mesut Ozil continues in force on Tuesday, with the Mail Sport Twitter account shouting: 'Arsenal are preparing for the new season, whilst Mesut Ozil has a holiday with his girlfriend'. The bloody layabout.
Clicking on the story (remember, we do it so you don't have to) reveals a familiar intent to have a pop at Arsenal's record signing. 'As Arsenal's players gear up for this weekend's Emirates Cup, Mesut Ozil is still relaxing on holiday with his girlfriend,' a piece by David Kent snidely begins.
Later down the page comes the admission that Ozil is perfectly justified in being on holiday (which the Mail know only too well). Ozil, Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker have all been given an extended break after appearing in the World Cup final.
Why the incessant witch-hunt?
Worst Headline Of The Day
'You're Fella We Want' - The Daily Star stink the place out with the Marouane Fellaini rumours.
Non-Football Story Of The Day
'Doctors at Alabama's Princeton Baptist Medical Center accidentally removed a man's penis, he claims in a malpractice lawsuit.
'Johnny Lee Banks, of Birmingham, Alabama, and his wife sued the facility for medical malpractice on Tuesday, seeking an unspecified amount.
'The patient's attorney says that he'd gone to the center for a routine circumcision to prevent an infection, but instead of removing just the tip, the doctors amputated the whole thing.
'"The family was given no reason, rationale or medical purpose behind the amputation," said the lawyer, who says his client is going through "pure hell...absolute devastation."' - MTV.com

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Bates Pup!
Facts about Bates Pup
- Breed: Labrador Retriever
- Color: Brown/Chocolate
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bates Pup's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
My name is Bates and I am a Chocolate Labrador Retriever. Yes, I am quite cute. Here's the story: My mom, another Chocolate Labrador was picked up and taken to an East Tennessee shelter where she waited for her family. No one claimed her so a nice lady adopted her from the shelter. However, she did not know that my mom was pregnant - very pregnant. So, to make a long story short, she got 10 Chocolate Labrador Retrievers! That's right - she had 9 puppies, all chocolate, all pure bred Labrador Retrievers. My siblings have all been adopted - so it's just me! And I am the sweet one! I do like to play with my foster siblings - boy are they fun. I am healthy, happy and love people A LOT! My home has to have a stay at home or work at home parent and another dog so I can continue my social training. Is that you? Come on - I am adorable!!!
If interested adopting in Bates Pup, please visit our website at .http://www.adoptagoldenknoxville.org/new_england.html. If all that looks good, please move forward and fill out an application.
NOTE: Adopt A Golden Knoxville rescue doesn't have an actual shelter building in your area. These dogs are fostered in private homes in East Tennessee. Therefore, it is not possible to meet the dogs and pups prior to their adoption. They are brought up north on a USDA transport
Other Pets at Adopt A Golden Knoxville - Danbury, CT
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bates Pup, a Danbury Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Danbury, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Danbury.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Danbury already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Danbury breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Danbury paves the way for another one to be saved.

Andrea Laguni
general manager
A native of Florence, Italy, Andrea Laguni's career in performing arts production and management began over 29 years ago when he became a production assistant for the Summer/Winter Festivals of Fiesole. Following that formative experience, he worked for the San Francisco Opera, Orchestra Giovanile Italiana, Los Angeles Opera and the Orchestra della Toscana before joining the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in 1995.
Initially brought on as director of artistic administration and education, Andrea now serves as the Orchestra's general manager. As the primary liaison between the artistic and management arms of the organization, he works closely with Jeffrey Kahane to fulfill the music director's artistic vision and plays a leading role in strategic planning.
Pivotal projects that have taken place under his leadership are the establishment of the Orchestra's innovative communal commissioning group, Sound Investment; Musaic at the Jazz Bakery, a successful mini-festival that juxtaposed chamber music with jazz; and LACO's 2008 tour to Austria, Germany, Italy, France and Spain, the Orchestra's first European tour in more than 30 years.
Andrea received his Doctoral Degree in educational sciences from the University of Florence and also studied at the University of California at Berkeley, where he was involved in independent research under the direction of J.R. Searle. He studied viola and voice at the School of Music of Fiesole, as well as harmony, counterpoint and composition as a private student of Italian composer Riccardo Luciani. He is a 2000 alumnus of the League of American Orchestras' Orchestra Leadership Academy, Seminar in Artistic Excellence.
Recognized as a leader in the field of arts management, Andrea has given his time since 2005 as a volunteer coach with the Los Angeles County Arts Commission's Executive Coaching Initiative, a program that provides one-one-one coaching to arts leaders of smaller organizations that have received grants from the Commission. He also has served as a panelist for the Commission's organizational grant program. From 2003 to 2005, Andrea served as a board member of LA ARTCORE, a multi-cultural exhibitor of local and international visual artists, and from 2007 to 2010, on the board of directors of the Association of California Symphony Orchestras, the orchestra field's statewide advocacy and professional development agency.
In 2009, he was honored with the Knight of the Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity, bestowed on him by the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. The title is awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to their communities, the world and the Italian culture.
Andrea resides in Los Angeles with his husband Joe Suniga, their two dogs Cosmo and Maly and Lulu, their matriarchal cat.

Inside Lincoln Park pizzeria Homeslice
Lincoln Park has its fair share of pizza, from the addictive caramelized crust of Pequod's to the floppy, foldable slices at Armitage Pizzeria. Now the neighborhood's pizza scene has gotten even saucier with the addition of recently opened Homeslice ((938 W. Webster Ave. 312-789-4600). Though it's located off Sheffield Avenue on tree-shaded Webster, this funky restaurant and bar with a log cabin-style look is a taste of the Pacific Northwest in more ways than one: Not only did owners Josh Iachelli and Clay Hamilton meet and become friends in Oregon, but the pizza they serve is inspired by a beloved pizzeria there. firstname.lastname@example.com | @redeyeeatdrink
Image 1 of 13
31: The number of pizzas on the menu at Homeslice, all named after investors or friends. The Knife & Forkner (pictured) piles on pepperoni, blackened chicken, bacon, red onion, mozzarella, provolone and cheddar on top of barbecue sauce, while the Zephy skews toward the vegetarian end with portabello mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese and spinach-ricotta sauce.

Nostalgia was the order of the day in Towcester Market Square on Saturday, September 7, as locals witnessed a scene that brought a lot of memories flooding back...
About a dozen shining Hesketh motorcycles, plus their owners, rode along the high street and then parked in the square as part of the British motorcycle's 30th anniversary, which was inspired by Lord Hesketh who lived just outside Towcester in the stately home at Easton Neston in the early 1980s.
Mick Broom, the bike's prototype constructor, developer and later owner of Hesketh Motorcycles said: "It's been a very successful weekend and a great way to commemorate 30 years of the bike. But in another way I don't really want to think about it, as I'm 30 years older than when it was first constructed!"
The club members later went off to Whittlebury Park for a celebration barbecue.
On Sunday morning a small group of Hesketh owners rode off from the Market Square to meet up with members in Holland, Germany and Switzerland.

Here's the Scoop on Prada's One-Day Museum
We love a good fashion exhibition and Prada's next museum venture sounds supremely unique. The Italian house has teamed up with artist Francesco Vezzoli and Rem Koolhaas' own design group (he's the architect behind Prada's breathtaking flagship boutiques) to create a pop-up gallery in Paris.
The "24h Museum" opens tomorrow, fittingly, for a single day. And while the project has been curiously described as a "non-existent museum," it will indeed contain artwork—more specifically, contemporary interpretations of classical sculpture that reference modern-day divas. We're hoping that means marble busts of Prada-loving celebs like Carey Mulligan and Nicole Kidman. Fun!
Tonight, the label's hosting an invite-only dinner to celebrate the temporary exhibit (UPDATED: see photos from the event below). After that, the museum will host its very own nightclub—which you'll be able to witness via livestream this evening at 24hoursmuseum.com. We can't wait to see Anna Dello Russo bust a move next to, well, a bust of herself.

Jonah Who Will be 25 in the Year 2000 (Jonas qui aura 25 ans en l'an 2000)
Description: The revolutionary upheaval of 1968 rocked Europe, and led to many changes. For a while, it was possible to think that the radical idealism of the youth protests would finally take form in the world. In this film, eight people in their late tweties and early thirties try to keep the radical flames burning. From a man continuing his mystic quest to a Robin Hood-like grocery worker, each of them seeks an alternative to the mainstream vision. One of them is married, and his child Jonah, born that year, will be 25 in the year 2000.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

GM IPO: Fund Managers Stick With Ford
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- General Motors (GM), which raised at least $20.1 billion in an initial public offering, is to carmaker Ford (F) what financial company Citigroup is to JPMorgan (JPM), some mutual-fund managers say.
GM, like Citigroup, needed a bailout by the government, which holds a stake in both companies. Ford was the sole U.S. carmaker to make it through the recession without government help, and JPMorgan, while being forced against its will to take bailout money, has emerged as the strongest U.S. bank because of its superior risk controls.
Many investors were hot on the GM IPO, which came at a time when consumers started getting ready to buy big-ticket items again. GM had raised the proposed deal size for its IPO to 478 million shares, an increase of 31% from the original proposal. Last night, GM said in a statement it priced the shares at $33.
Still, some fund managers are sticking with Ford shares, which have rallied a staggering 660% since January 2009. GM filed bankruptcy on June 1, 2009.

CLEARWATER, Fla., (April 16, 2012) – Morton Plant Mease Health Care's Mease Countryside and Morton Plant Hospitals, have both been nationally recognized on 2012's Thomson Reuters 100 Top U.S. Hospitals study based on overall organizational performance.

Device detects sugar in food — sweet!
Scientists have produced a clever little device: a small handheld sensor that indicates what type of sweetener is in either a food or drink. The researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign believe this is yet another step towards creating an artificial tongue, complete with the sense of taste.
Similar to middle-school litmus paper tests, the sensor uses color-coded dots to show what sweeteners are used in a product. Until now, a similar test took about 30 minutes, and now is accomplished in two minutes. The sensor is being presented as a quality-control device for manufacturers to tell how sweet a product is, but they also mention developing sensors for the other basic tastes, such as sour and bitterness.
As someone who keeps an eye on caloric intake and also as the sibling of a Type-1 diabetic, a more practical use is to make sure that Diet Coke that my brother or I ordered wasn't accidentally switched with a sugar-laden Coke. For one of us, it's a very serious mistake.

No. 324 at 2; see also Roach Dec!., ~14. 17 4. Despite its duty to produce responsive documents to all ofthe requests, Apple refused 18 to do so until Plaintiffs specified which discovery was needed to respond to Apple's motion for 19 summary judgment. On February 26,2010, during a telephonic meet and confer, Apple stated that it 20 was not going to respond to all of the requests in Plaintiffs' second set of discovery because it was 21 still of the opinion that discovery should be stayed pending the Court's ruling on Apple's dispositive 22 motion. Plaintiffs disagreed with this position but in an effort to move discovery forward 23 expeditiously, identified the discovery requests for which responsive discovery was required to 24 provide an adequate response. 25 26 end of 5.

Apple represented that this was the last batch 2 of documents responsive to the subset of30(b )(6) requests. However, on April 21,2010, Plaintiffs 3 received a production of an additional 147 pages of documents responsive to these requests. 4 7. Plaintiffs have completed review of the Rule 30(b)(6) production to date and have 5 sought production of additional documents pursuant to the original requests, including information 6 concerning Apple's understanding of how Harmony works technically; specifications, design 7 documents and diagrams regarding those changes in FairPlay that broke Harmony; documents that 8 describe the relationship between iTunes software updates and iPod firmware updates; documents 9 that indicate how certain of Apple's observations concerning Harmony affected the FairPlay 10 redesign; source code related to iTunes software updates 4.6 and 4.7; and source code related to 11 iTunes software updates (other than 4.6 and 4.7) and iPod firmware updates that addressed the 12 software that Apple describes as "hacks." On April 22, 2010, during a meet and confer, Apple 13 indicated that it would consider producing some of this information related to the FairPlay redesign 14 in iTunes 4.7. The parties continue to meet and confer on the issue. However, at this point, it is 15 unclear when Apple's Rule 30(b)( 6) related production will be complete. 16 8.

Thinking of Becoming a nurse....... - page 2
Hello everyone, I was a Telecommunication Technician that was laid off in May from WorldCom and now I am thinking about a career change. I have always been interested in the medical field but having a hard time deciding what... Read More
- 0Jan 23, '03 by Hellllllo NurseWhat is an LNA?
- 0Jan 29, '03 by TilleycsI would imagine it stands for Licensed Nursing Assistant.
Funny, I started looking into the medical field when my field dried up, too. I'm a contractor in the computer field, and the BOTTOM fell out here in NC. I went 10 months between contracts, and had started taking continuing ed courses at a local community college.
I'm still taking continuing ed classes, and will continue getting actual prerequisites out of the way next semester. My girlfriend is an ex-OR nurse who is now a head nurse, and is a good resource for all my questions and concerns. It sounds like a good field, as long as you know what you're getting into.

Public sector shielded as unemployment hits 2 million - Times Online
A growing divide between a burgeoning public sector and struggling private sector emerged yesterday as figures showed that the number of people out of work rose above two millions in January – the highest level since Labour came to power in 1997.
The number of people signing on for unemployment benefits rose by 138,000 last month – the fastest rate since 1971. Meanwhile, jobs and pay are still rising in the public sector. Official figures show that 30,000 jobs were created in the public sector last year, with 105,000 lost in the private sector.
The gap between the growth in pay in the public and private sectors rose to a record 4.8 per cent. As companies slashed salaries and bonuses, earnings in the public sector continued to rise faster than inflation. Public sector pay rose by 3.7 per cent in the year to January 2009. Private sector pay fell by 1.1 per cent in that period. Inflation is currently at 3 per cent.
The figures reveal that 21,000 extra NHS staff and 5,000 public adminstrative staff were recruited in the last three months of 2008.
And for how much longer do you plan to continue to milk the cash cow without allowing it access to food and drink? Do you think it will die or turn on you first?

Earlier this summer, at the 70th anniversary of the American Legion, Colin Hyde Post 172, a bunch of the guys piled into and around a classic military jeep brought out for the occasion.
The land for the hall was donated in 1949 by the family of Colin Hyde, who died in service to his country during
World War I. The building is part of what was once barracks No. 62 in Fort Ward. The post purchased the surplus
building sections for $960, which included the cost of transportation to the freshly cleared site on Bucklin Hill Road. Bill Beck, (the post's historian standing at the front of the jeep), said: "The post has always been a safe harbor for its members, and will continue to share its history and camaraderie with current Gulf veterans."

Yordano Ventura scratched from his scheduled Wednesday start due to mid-back stiffness
Aug 26, 2014, 6:32 PM EST
From Blair Kerkhoff of the Kansas City Star comes word that Yordano Ventura has been scratched from his scheduled Wednesday start against the Twins due to stiffness around the middle of his back. Liam Hendriks, acquired from the Blue Jays in late July for infielder Danny Valencia, will be called up from Triple-A Omaha to pitch in Ventura's place.
"After his last start he developed a little bit of mid-back tightness," Yost told the Kansas City Star on Tuesday evening. "It's gotten better, but we're not going to push it. We're going to skip a start."
Ventura has guided the Royals to victories in five of his last six outings and boasts a 3.40 ERA with 125 strikeouts in 145 2/3 innings this season as a rookie. The 23-year-old should return to action this weekend.

Medication & treatments on midnight shift
- 0Jan 18, '13 by Micki72I started a midnight position at an LTC about 3 weeks ago. I am still having a hard time getting all the medications and treatments done by shifts end. Is there a trick to getting to all the treatments? Do those of you who are experienced do your treatments before you begin your need pass? If so, how do you do this & what time do you start you're treatments & meds? Any insure or info would be helpful & greatly appreciated. Thank you
- 1Jan 18, '13 by Anne36I have one hall that I never get to all the treatments, there just is not enough time. If you get a routine down it should help. If you are able to know who gets midnights meds without having to flag the entire MAR every night that would help. I usually have to go through entire treamtent book and MAR to flag it all down and plan out my night which is time consuming. I usually do midnight meds and then start on treatments and try to start charting around 3 so that I can take a quick break and be ready for the am med pass. I have been told that we are only 1 shift out of 3 and what does not get done is passed on to the next shift, however much we dont like to do that, there is no clocking out late The trick is probably that you will get faster once you have a routine down.
- 3Jan 18, '13 by proud nurse, BSN, RNWhen I worked in LTC, if I had a treatment that needed to go on a resident's buttocks I made sure to plan to go the same time the CNA did rounds. That way, we could help each other and we weren't waking the resident up several times unnecessarily. They could help hold them over to one side, and I could help with the rest of their cares. TEAMWORK.
Most of my meds were either scheduled at midnoc, 0200, 0600 or PRN. Meds were never a problem. I would only have a few if a resident was on an antibiotic for 10 days or something. Mainly it was the PRN pain meds or anti anxiety meds that I administered like candy.
- 0Jan 18, '13 by chrisrn24I guess it depends on your treatments. Most of mine are butt creams which I trust the aides will do. As far as other things, it is a great idea to bring things along on rounds so you can wake the person up and be done. Same goes for assessments, although that rarely happens as I usually help my aides during rounds. After rounds then I'll start my assessments. Then charting, lunch break, then usually 0600 meds.
- 1Jan 18, '13 by laderalisOut of 36, I have about 8 that get 0600 meds, otherwise not much goes on. Treatments are done on days or afternoons unless its something that we can't get to on that shift. I have one skin tear treatment now that I do on NOC because its too hard any other time. I do the dressing change when the CNA does bed check.
- 0Jan 19, '13 by barbie76I have 32 residents to administer meds and provide certain treatments to .... the meds part still takes me two hours sometimes longer we recently had a very extensive dressing change that took an hour ....LTC nursing is challenging there just isn't enough time somedays, and if u have a fall or death or sending someone to hospital ...... forget your breaks ....
- 3Jan 19, '13 by kguill975If any of you guys are ever interested in a change of scenery, come on over to OR nursing, where it's one patient at a time. I imagine you would probably die of boredom.
- 1Jan 19, '13 by FedideIt really depends on the unit I'm working and how many meds/treatments there are. I go through the MAR and TAR at the beginning of the shift, and write out the times things are due. Then on my report sheet I write the treatments that need to be done sometime during the shift. (So I can glance quickly at the sheet when I'm at the resident's room). I let the CNAs know if I need to be called when they are doing cares on someone to see a coccyx, etc. I then begin my 2300 and midnight meds. Then I begin my full rounds. I chart my vitals, sign the TAR, etc. as I go. Most of the things like checking O2 sats I do during first rounds. If they need a Medicare assessment, etc., and I know they often call several times during the night for toileting, PRN meds, etc., I might wait until they call to do the assessment.Of course if your shift starts crazy (a fall, a found skin tear, a lot of PRN requests) I might do a quick rounds to visualize everyone, then go back up and down the halls with the cart doing treatments). The only thing I save until the end is my Medicare progress note. If I am on a unit that has a ton of 0600 meds and PRN suppositories, I start those at 0500, the earliest I can.Getting your routine down will help, and that takes time. Everyone has a different system that works for them.
- 0Jan 20, '13 by Anne36CapeCod, what does your midnight shift consist of, outside of medications and treatments? I keep asking myself when do these residents get to sleep? LTC is every bit as bad as a hospital. Lights on and off all night, vital signs, meds, treatments, and assessments. I am waking people to do wound care and skin assessments at 1-2 am. Med pass starts at 4 am. "Here is your thyroid pill, back to sleep now". I have a few midnight meds but should a resident be woken up for 2 Tylenol?

It wasn't a happy Homecoming for the Grant County High School Braves as the football team fell to Walton-Verona.
The 35-14 defeat was the third consecutive loss for GCHS and drops the team's record to 1-3-1.
The Grant County High School hosted the annual Dry Ridge Toyota Cup soccer tournament. The boys bracket featured the Braves, Conner High School, Gallatin and Powell County. The girls bracket consisted of the Lady Braves, Boone, Lincoln and Spencer County.
In the boys first round Conner beat up on Powell 7-0. The Braves took on Gallatin. The Braves came into play on Saturday with a record of 6-1, riding the crest of six straight wins, including three straight over regional opponents Henry, Owen and district rival Simon Kenton.
The Grant County High School soccer program will try to protect their home turf Sept. 20 as the teams compete in the annual Dry Ridge Toyota Invitational Cup.
The tournament will feature GCHS boys and girls teams playing in two games each at Grant County Middle School in a quest to take home the title.
Missed opportunities and costly penalties cost the Grant County a road win in a game they outplayed their opponent.
In an offensive struggle, the Braves were held scoreless Sept. 13 and fell 6-0 to East Jessamine.
Coach Kevin Siple said his team let a win get away.

|Greenlee County was created in 1909 and named for Mason (Masin) Greenlee who was an early settler in the Clifton area. It was Arizona's 14th county and formed from part of Graham County, who opposed the formation because Graham County would lose considerable revenue. Clifton has always been the county seat. Greenlee County covers over 1800 square miles. From the beautiful desert at the southern tip to the high alpine country at Hanagan Meadow at 8000+ feet, the drive up the Coronado Trail is spectacular. Allow 4 hours to properly appreciate.

U.Va. officials attend White House meeting
University of Virginia officials outlined the university's efforts to attract high-achieving, low-income students at a White House summit.
The university says President Teresa Sullivan and Ben Castleman of the Curry School of Education attended Thursday's meeting with President Barack Obama and other administration officials. Leaders of other universities and public and private organizations also attended the meeting on increasing college opportunities.
The U.Va. administrators focused on research by Castleman and Sarah Turner of the Economics Department on low-income and first-generation college students. Sullivan said their findings have prompted the university to revamp its outreach to potential Virginia applicants from lower economic backgrounds.

Aon Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Gregory C. Case
Thank you, Emily, and good morning, everyone, and welcome to our second quarter conference call. Joining me here today is our CFO, Christa Davies.
Consistent with previous quarters, I'd like to cover 3 areas before turning the call over to Christa for further financial review. I would note that there are slides available on our website for you to follow along with our commentary today.
First, our performance against key metrics we communicated to shareholders; second, I'll cover overall organic growth performance; and third is continued areas of investment across Aon.On the first topic, our performance versus key metrics. Each quarter, we measure our performance against the 3 metrics we focus on achieving over the course of the year: grow organically, expand margins and increase earnings per share. Turning to Slide 3. In the second quarter, organic revenue growth was 4% overall with solid growth across all major businesses in both Risk and HR Solutions. Operating margin decreased 100 basis points, driven primarily by significant investments we are making in new growth opportunities and in key talent across our businesses. Finally, EPS was $1.02 as growth and effective capital management primarily offset incremental investment spend. Overall, our second quarter results reflect improved organic revenue growth across all of our major businesses as we make significant investments to further strengthen our client-serving capabilities. Our results were also very consistent with the plants we laid out in Q1 for the full year 2012, recognizing that Risk Solutions was a bit better than anticipated and HR Solutions was a bit lighter than anticipated due to higher investment spend and the timing of certain deferred costs. While Christa will provide additional financial commentary in a few minutes, we continue to anticipate improved performance in the second half of the year are on track with our long-term targets and have continued to take significant steps to further position the firm for long-term growth, strong free cash flow generation and increased financial flexibility.

Ceres' Richard Flavell To Become Chief Scientific Advisor
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Oct. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy crop company Ceres, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERE) today announced that Richard Flavell, PhD., will transition from his position as Chief Scientific Officer and an executive officer of the company to a new role of Chief Scientific Advisor. Flavell will maintain his seat on the Ceres board of directors and now serve as an exclusive consultant to the company in the field of commercial bioenergy crops.
Flavell joined Ceres in 1998 and has been instrumental in the establishment and development of Ceres' core technology platforms in plant genomics and biotechnology. Most recently, he has also focused on outreach to the scientific community and public policymakers. He has published over 200 scientific articles, lectured widely and contributed significantly to the development of modern biotechnology in agriculture. In 1999, Dr. Flavell was named a Commander of the British Empire for his contributions to plant and microbial sciences and he is a Fellow of the Royal Society of London.
"On the occasion of my 69th birthday today, it seems fitting to take on both a new role at Ceres and among the scientific community where I have been privileged to serve and contribute," said Flavell. "Plant science has a key role to play in bringing biofuels to scale in a sustainable manner, and I believe that by maintaining my close connection to Ceres I can stay close to the leading edge of innovation."
"For a man who dedicated his career to the development of scientific knowledge and its practical application in the production of food, feed, fiber and, now, energy, these are exciting times," said Ceres President and CEO Richard Hamilton. "We look forward to his ongoing participation, both as a board member and a consultant, in the development and commercialization of the innovations he helped pioneer."ABOUT CERES Ceres, Inc. ( www.ceres.net) is an agricultural biotechnology company that markets seeds for energy crops used in the production of renewable transportation fuels, electricity and bio-based products. The company combines advanced plant breeding and biotechnology to develop products that can address the limitations of first-generation bioenergy feedstocks, increase biomass productivity, reduce crop inputs and improve cultivation on marginal land. Its development activities include sweet sorghum, high-biomass sorghum, switchgrass and miscanthus. Ceres markets its products under its Blade brand.

Bristol Palin's Memoir: A Lesson in Abstinence
Laura Mitchell
Bristol Palin—who has been in and out of the media spotlight ever since her surprise pregnancy emerged during her mother's campaign—released her side of the story this week in her memoir Not Afraid of My Life: My Journey So Far. Though a number of negative reviews have already surfaced (many of which question her writing a memoir at age 20), few have applauded her humble honesty.Despite the consequences, Palin chose life for her son, Tripp—and being under the scrutiny of an unimpressed...Read More

North Carolina Enacts "Ethan's Law" to Protect Unborn Victims of Violent Crime
J.D. Griffin
As LifeNews.com reports, North Carolina recently became the latest of more than 25 states to pass legislation protecting pregnant women and their unborn children. Jenna Nielson, a Raleigh newspaper carrier, was murdered when she was eight and one half months pregnant. Named in honor of Nielson's unborn son Ethan, "Ethan's Law," "recognizes the unborn child as a second victim when the unborn child is injured or dies during the commission of the crime." Before the passage of "Ethan's Law,"...Read More

Planned Parenthood Gone Wild
Rushad Thomas
Following the release of Live Action's latest undercover video, last night on Fox News Live Action's Lila Rose went to head to head in a debate with Sally Kohn of the pro-abortion Movement Vision Lab. In the interview, Lila explained the investigation conducted by her organization, LiveAction, which showed Indiana Planned Parenthood (PP) staffers admitting that Medicaid-eligible women in the State will continue to have ready access to well woman care once Planned Parenthood is defunded...Read More

Pro-Abortion Extremism on Capitol Hill
J.D. Griffin
As the Daily Caller reported, during the debate over the 2011 budget, New York Rep. Louise Slaughter spoke to a crowd of abortion advocates and railed against a proposal to strip Planned Parenthood of its federal funding. Instead of simply disagreeing, Rep. Slaughter argued that the proposal's pro-life backers are "here to kill women." As if that reasoning were not flawed enough, Rep. Slaughter continued by surmising, "You are allowed to have an abortion if you've been raped or it's a matter of...Read More

Live Action Exposes Planned Parenthood's Medicaid Misinformation Campaign
J.D. Griffin
Live Action, led by Lila Rose, has exposed yet another Planned Parenthood misinformation campaign. After Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels signed legislation preventing approximately $2 million from reaching the coffers of the state's 28 Planned Parenthood offices, the organization, through an official press release, argued that such action would "take away health care from thousands of women in Indiana." Thanks to the Live Action investigation, and resulting video, we now know that all Planned...Read More

Votes Have Consequences: Pro-Life Democrats?
J.D. Griffin
Last year, pro-life advocates watched as self-identified pro-life Democrats abandoned their principles, their constituents and the unborn by voting for Obamacare, the largest expansion of abortion since Roe. The group, largely led by then Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, chose to accept an Executive Order—a fig leaf—from President Obama rather than stand their ground for Life. A notable exception was pro-life Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski who, unlike his colleagues, withstood immense pressure and...Read More

European Union Protects Doctors' Freedom of Conscience
J.D. Griffin
As Radio Free Europe reported, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted a resolution which protects European Union (EU) doctors from being coerced into performing abortions. Unfortunately, Resolution 1763 did not begin with such noble intentions. In fact, former British Member of Parliament Christine McCafferty introduced the draft resolution with a title of "Women's Access to Lawful Medical Care: The Problem of Unregulated Use of Conscientious Objection." Despite...Read More

Pro-Life Victory: A Texas Man Takes a Stand for Life
J.D. Griffin
Recently, Edwin Graning took a stand for life in Texas and lost his job as a result. In January 2010, Graning, when employed as a driver for a nine-county public transit system, was dispatched to transport two women to a Planned Parenthood clinic. Being "an ordained Christian minister who is opposed to abortion," Mr. Graning respectfully called his supervisor and explained that he, "in good conscience…could not take someone to have an abortion." Instead of simply dispatching another driver to...Read More

J.D. Griffin
In his LifeNews.com article, Cameron Smith, General Counsel for the Alabama Policy Institute, analyzes recently enacted pro-life legislation in Alabama. This month, with Gov. Robert Bentley's signing of the Alabama Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, Alabama joined Nebraska, Idaho, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Indiana in passing legislation to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

sooo, i gave up a while ago and said that I would finish through correspondant Independant books. Which I'm still planning on, but havent actually moved toward actually doing it. My old highschool is less than a 5 minute drive away, but I guess id rather drive the 25 minutes to the school board to ask for my transcripts. and thats my only good reason for holding back. Not a good one huh. The rest is easy, and the money that im short of for the next 3 months. So my goal is to start by March! if i cant sooner.

This is a hard one. lol
There will always be obstacles in your way preventing you from doing something. Mine is actually figuring it out.
So far, my biggest passion is photos. But I'm not so sure that's so realistic anytime soon. My obstacles include money, mostly. and time. I don't have the money and the time to get into it right now. Also I may add that I am short 5 courses to get my highschool diploma which i have to add to my list now! lol So there are other things i have to get done, to move on.
Me and my boyfriend have been together for over 4 years now, we've lived together for about a year and a half (without counting me crashing in his parents basement for another year and a half lol). We're very compfortable with eachother and get along most of the time. Like friends.
I do love him and care about him, but he's not the love of my life. I could be happier and I beleive I should still have butterflies in another 5 years, but I don't. and I'm just going to leave it at that.
