ROCHESTER, N.Y. - The Salvation Army claimed it's not responsible for the parolee who failed to check into its shelter, and was arrested for rape about 15 hours later.
23-year-old Michael Caruthers was supposed to go straight from prison to the shelter and check in there by 5 p.m. Friday but the parolee never showed.
"Conflict came in that he was released on a Friday," Major Judy Hart said that if a parolee does not arrive as scheduled, shelter administrators are to contact the parole office on the next business day.
Hart said the shelter followed state protocol. "I'm not sure why the blame seems to come back to us at the Salvation Army because someone who was not in our program, he never checked into our program."
The program at the shelter did not see Caruthers until police arrived to talk to staff Saturday morning--already in custody, Caruthers was in the back of a police cruiser.
"A young girl was raped down the street," Hart said, "it's absolutely devastating this happened." Hart said she doesn't know who was responsible for monitoring Caruthers but says blame does not fall on the Salvation Army.
A representative for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision said DOCCS supervises parolees post release and Caruthers had 24 business hours to report for that supervision.
The time between when a person is released from prison until they have to report to the parole office is something of a gray area.
Hart said the shelter will have to reevaluate its procedures and how the Salvation Army works with the DOCCS.
Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren said, "That's something that we need to discuss with our state legislature and our state prison system. Unfortunately that's something that they control and having this happen again, as I said is a tragedy."
Mayor Warren called the attack an "isolated incident" but says it's important to start conversations with state leaders to make sure the community can feel safe.
Hart said, "The truth of the matter is, nobody wanted this man to be paroled and the law stated that he had to be paroled and I think that has a lot to do with our problems right now."
Caruthers was denied parole twice--Hart said had the shelter known the Parole Board found Caruthers to be a risk, the shelter would not have agreed to house him.

I watched a 1998 BBC documentary on YouTube a few days ago called The Wolfman—The Diary of Paul Balenovic. It recounts the eighteen years that Balenovic, a Croatian stuntman and banjo picker, spent with a wolf named Lik, a wolf he obtained when it was just short of a month old. The program is fascinating for what it reveals about the relationship between wolf and man and what it suggests about the way wolves and humans could first have come together which, not surprisingly, is a lot like how they come together now. The relationship is dynamic and not without problems, including the time Lik attacked and severely injured Balenovic, but the endurance of the bond is a testament to its strength.
Indeed, anyone who thinks that wolves and humans are implacable foes should watch this program. Anyone who thinks wolves make good pets should also watch this documentary to learn why they should be left in their own environment. Anyone who thinks wolves and humans cannot form powerful bonds of friendship should watch Balenovic and Lik, especially when Lik makes clear his desire to be brought home from the wild where Balenovic has sought to repatriate him.

Just before 10PM, the Rescue Engine, along with Chief 33A, responded to the area of Sheriff Rd and 61st Ave, a mere 200 feet from Station 38's front ramp, for an accident with entrapment. Engine Co 38 and Chief 38A found a two vehicle accident, a result of car involved in a rear end collision with a flatbed tow truck. The heavy steel components of the tow truck severely damaged the car's front end, leaving the driver pinned. Rescue Engine 33 and Chief 33A a arrived shortly thereafter, and quickly stabilized the car before setting to work removing the driver's side and portion of the roof. The driver, whose condition was deteriorating rapidly, was then able to be removed to awaiting EMS and transported to PG Hospital. Rescue Engine 33 and Chief 33A returned to service a short time later.
Friday, December 12, 2014
After clearing an automatic fire alarm, Engine 331 was placed 4th due on a 46 box. Engine Company 46 reported fire showing from Division 1 on arrival. Engine 331 (with 6) stretched to the rear and advanced to the second floor, where they found and extinguished extension into Division 2 and the attic. Chief 33A also responded on the box and had Division 1.
Friday, December 12, 2014
At 4:05 PM, Engine 331 and Rescue Engine 33 were dispatched as the first and second due engine companies for a reported structure fire. They responded with Chief 33 and Chief 33A to a two story, end of the row townhome with smoke showing from the first floor. The Engine Company stretched to the first floor and found fire in the kitchen, while the Rescue Engine stretched to Division 2 to check for extension. Chief 33 had command and Chief 33A had division one. Fire was quickly extinguished and units returned to service.
Monday, December 8, 2014
Early Monday morning, the Rescue Engine was dispatched to Eastbound Route 50 at Landover Road for an accident with one off the road. When Engine Co 38 and Rescue Engine 33, located the vehicle, they discovered that the driver was still trapped in the car. After leaving the roadway, the car struck the guardrail, which pierced the dash and firewall before exiting through the rear window, further entrapping the driver. The Rescue Engine crew stabilized the vehicle and removed the roof to gain access to the patient and remove him to awaiting EMS units.
Monday, December 1, 2014
Around noon, companies from the 3rd and 1st Battalions were dispatched for a reported dwelling fire. Companies arrived with fire showing from the rear of a 2 story cape cod style dwelling. Interior crews had a fire that was energized by electrical lines. As they knocked the majority of the fire, interior units were running out of air, so Command requested the Fire Task Force to relieve the crews. This brought Chief 33A and Engine 332 to the scene. Chief 33A was assigned to Division 1 and Engine 332 relieved crews operating on the 1st floor. Once the electric was controlled by Pepco, Engine Co 33 was able to knock the rest of the fire down. Chief 33A and Engine 332 remained on scene for approx. 45 minutes before being released by command.

Lynnhill Condominiums, the 7 story high rise at 3103 Good Hope Ave, has been the site of numerous multiple alarm fires, so it was no surprise on Thanksgiving night when a report of an apartment on fire on the second floor quickly escalated into a three alarm incident. First alarm units were confronted with fire from the windows on the Alpha and Bravo sides, and "Collier's Mansion" conditions in the involved apartment. As they made their initial attack, a series of explosions rocked the unit, forcing companies to retreat to the relative safety of the hallways; meanwhile, the fire was autoexposing to the apartment above. It became apparent that the oxygen cylinders in the apartment were rupturing, and a direct attack was impractical, necessitating the application of water from the exterior to the original unit. Rescue Engine 33, en route to a transfer to Company 23 (dispatched as the first due engine on the initial alarm), was picked up on the third alarm, and directed to the fifth floor by the Vent Group in order to conduct the primary search. The crew forced entry into every unit on the fifth floor, finding only trapped smoke and dogs in several units. After clearing the smoke from the remaining floors, Rescue Engine 33 returned to service, and went back home for dinner. Kentland maintained a second crew (Engine 332) at the firehouse throughout the incident and the remainder of the night.
Wednesday, November 26, 2014
Rescue Engine 33 was called to the area of the Napa Auto Parts on Pennsy Drive in Co 28's first due for an accident with entrapment. The Rescue Engine officer assessed the damaged vehicle, as crew members from Co 33 began stabilization, and found the driver to be trapped in the vehicle and pinned by the dashboard. Members utilized both sets of Holmatro tools to simultaneously remove both sides of the minivan before cutting off the roof. After performing a modified dash lift with the spreaders, the crew was able to remove the trapped driver to awaiting EMS units.

Rescue Engine 33 was back in service for less than 12 hours before going to work an accident with one trapped this morning on the Baltimore Washington Parkway near Route 50.
Tuesday, November 18, 2014
Tower Ladder 33 was dispatched as the 2nd due truck for the reported back of the house on fire in the 14000 block of Heatherstone Drive in Bowie, MD. Companies arrived with fire showing from a detached home. The Tower crew, at the direction of Command, split into two teams: one team completed the interior searches for potential victims, while the other team laddered the building and then provided Rapid Intervention. TL33 remained onscene for approx. 1 hour before being released. This is the fourth fire for Kentland 33 in 48 hours.

How can I get a new case?
- 0Jan 6, '13 by Texan56I am tired of my case. I originally asked for it, thinking it would be more of a challenge than it is, and because it was "close" to my home. The shifts are short. The mom doesn't listen to me, and passively finds fault with my care. I have been there for about 4 months. I would like to move on.
I have "shared" my desire for a change with the scheduler. Of course he needs to keep the home staffed and supposedly it is hard to get nurses to "go all the way out there", and I live "out that way".
Do I need to put in 2 weeks notice, or is there there a more amicable way of getting things changed ?
- 3Jan 6, '13 by Blackcat99You are going to be very difficult to replace because other nurses are not going to want to drive such a long distance. My guess is that they will just keep telling you for a long time: "We haven't been able to find a replacement for you yet but don't worry we will."
Never give a 2 week notice unless you in fact have another job. I work LTC now but you never know for sure how things are going to turn out in a new job. Just ask to be put on "prn only.". That way if things don't work out at your new job and you find you need to return back to this same agency you won't have to start all over again with all of the required paperwork.
- 1Jan 6, '13 by Texan56I toally agree. I am not planning to move to a new company. I just want a new case. If we leave a case, we are to give 2 weeks notice, by the book. I do try to be a team player, and wolud wait longer than 2 weeks to ensure that the case is covered.
But, I want variety in PDN! If I start to feel like a babysitter, or that I am not much appreciated, or professionally stagnant, I want to change it up! Perhaps I am being immature... or ungrateful for the job I have.
- 1Jan 6, '13 by LadyFree28When I did HH nursing, I had at least 3 cases...to give myself a variety of nursing care. I suggest that you ask for at least another case, as well as talk to the family. Stand your ground on what your priority is in regards up nursing care, and develop an action plan with the family...you are in their home and there are a lot of motions involved, especially compromise of privacy, for the family. Hopefully you will be able to come to a positive resolution!
- 0Jan 9, '13 by CloudySueSome agencies like to mix it up, but I'm learning even more like to keep one or two nurses total per case. Mine mixes it up, it is not unusual for me to see 5 different kids in as many days. Is it possible for you to check out other agencies to see what they do? If you can ask enough questions you can see if the situation would be more ideal for you. Then give your two weeks' to your agency, and if they really want to keep you they'll scramble to get you moved, if they don't want to lose you all together. But be ready to call their bluff w a backup job!
- 0Mar 21, '13 by urbanngrrl_helloOne alternative is to change your availability, giving two-weeks notice. That gives the scheduler real motivation to find a replacement and you a reality check on just exactly how much you want to move on. You might find another case, and be happy to work with passively-finding-fault-mom a couple of days a week and your new case a couple of days a week. Or you may find that working a couple days a week and sitting at home the rest of the week is lots worse than spending timewith passively-finding-fault-mom. Seriously, I think you just need a break. Change your availability with a vague crisis, ill relative, significant other having trouble, children problems, you name it, and pick the days to come off this case the ones you are most likely to gain another here or some place else. Be sure to apply someplace else too. Do that first.
- 0Mar 28, '13 by Adele_Michal7I'd call other agencies, get the ball rolling on the paperwork. When it's looking like you'll have options, call up your current agency and let them know you're "shopping around" and see if that changes their tune.
- 0Jul 9, '13 by Texan56Thank you for your responses. The plot has thickened. I was never able to obtain a new case, but then, I slipped in the home, and broke a bone. I have been off work for over a month, healing, on workers comp.
The good side is that I should be able to get a new case, after this long absence, when I am cleared to return.

Ad-hoc release – Krones sees possibility of resolving US proceedings
The US company of the Krones Group, Krones Inc. in Franklin/Wisconsin (USA), and Krones AG, Neutraubling, Germany, see a possibility of resolving the legal disputes running in the US since October 2008 within the framework of the ongoing settlement talks. The subject-matter relates to proceedings involving various parties in the US.
The proceedings related to the financial scandal involving the bankruptcy of the US company Le-Nature's, whose senior management have meanwhile been convicted and sentenced for fraud. During the period 2005/2006, Krones had produced, delivered and successfully commissioned filling lines for Le-Nature's facility in Phoenix/Arizona (USA).
In view of how the settlement talks have proceeded, and against the background of possible risks arising from proceedings in the US, Krones finds it prudent to increase the existing provision by USD 53 million in the 2012 business year. As things stand at present, Krones sees good chances for concluding the settlement negotiations on this basis within a reasonable time frame.back

American Pie
American Pie (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Related Editions
The lives of the three McBroom sisters of Tallulah, Tennessee, were tangled before the eldest, Eleanor, discovered their mother hanging from the Venetian blinds—and the years have done little to comb out the knots. Now a drunken encounter with the midnight train has left brash, much-married Jo-Nell near death, compelling agoraphobic Eleanor to summon marine biologist Freddie home from California—where she fled after being expelled from med school following a daring gall bladder heist. At last the McBroom sisters are together again, to face old fears and new catastrophes as they cheerfully deflect every flaming arrow that outrageous fortune fires their way.
With wit and loving compassion, Michael Lee West introduces us to an indomitable family of eccentric survivors in an unforgettable novel of cruel fate, bad luck, and unassailable resiliency.
About the Author
Michael Lee West is the author of Mad Girls in Love, Crazy Ladies, American Pie, She Flew the Coop, and Consuming Passions. She lives with her husband on a rural farm in Tennessee with three bratty Yorkshire terriers, a Chinese Crested, assorted donkeys, chickens, sheep, and African Pygmy goats. Her faithful dog Zap (above) was the inspiration for a character in the novel.

Have any of you heard about the newly-opened pizza shop/museum in Philadelphia called Pizza Brain? The owner is holds the Guinness Book record for the largest collection of pizza memorabilia, which he has on display. If you have been there, I'd be curious to know your impressions. Thanks!

I have been to Pizza Brain two times and think their pizzas are really great. I also saw Paulie Gee there and he also thought the pizzas were really good.

Times-Union Reporter Reveals Major Crimp in Penn State Plans
The online version of Albany Times-Union political reporter James M. Odato's (pictured) big scoop went up Tuesday night. There was no comment from SUNY beforehand, but a half-hour after the item was posted, the school turned around and provided Odato with a statement.
According to Odato's report, Penn State trustees were all set last Friday to announce as their 18th president David R. Smith, the current president of SUNY Upstate Medical University. Instead, Smith has been put on paid leave Tuesday as SUNY continues to investigate some alleged additional, sideline compensation:
Smith, a pediatrician, became president of Upstate Medical in 2006 after five years as chancellor of Texas Tech University. SUNY pays him $625,000, including $315,000 in salary plus a $60,000 housing stipend approved by the SUNY trustees, plus $250,000 from the SUNY Research Foundation. Smith is a member of the Research Foundation's board of directors…

Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- India's rupee rebounded from a one- week low after the nation's second-largest software exporter reported profit that beat analysts' estimates.
The currency rose for the fourth time in five days as the BSE India Sensitive Index gained 1.2 percent. Infosys Ltd. said net income was 19.1 billion rupees ($387 million) last quarter, compared with a median forecast of 35 analysts in a Bloomberg survey for 18.7 billion rupees. The rupee fell earlier on concern Europe's debt problems will damp demand for emerging- market assets.
"On one hand, we have news such as that from Infosys which suggests exports and the economy may not perform as badly as some believe, and on the other, the European problems are not yet gone," said Krishnamurthy Harihar, treasurer at FirstRand Ltd. in Mumbai. "The rupee will likely stay in a range until we have stronger cues."
The rupee strengthened 0.2 percent to 49.2325 per dollar as of 11:01 a.m. in Mumbai, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It dropped to 49.4750 earlier, the weakest level since Oct. 5. FirstRand's Harihar expects the currency to trade between 49.00 and 49.50 in the coming weeks.
Slovakia's parliament failed to ratify changes to a bailout fund for the euro region in a vote yesterday. European officials are striving to meet an end-of-month target set by French President Nicolas Sarkozy to get to grips with a crisis that's propelled Greece to the brink of default and shaken global financial markets.
Offshore forwards indicate the rupee will trade at 49.87 to the dollar in three months, compared with expectations for a rate of 49.97 yesterday. Forwards are agreements to buy or sell assets at a set price and date. Non-deliverable contracts are settled in dollars.

The prices of some agricultural produce and the cost of farm labour for the last fifty years
Barrington, Richard M.
Metadata:Show full item record
Citation:Barrington, Richard M. 'The prices of some agricultural produce and the cost of farm labour for the last fifty years'. - Dublin: Journal of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland,Vol. IX, Part LXV, 1886/1887, pp137-153
In venturing to bring before the Statistical Society a few notes on the above subject, I do so with much diffidence, because a matter of such importance at the present time should be dealt with by one who is a master of statistics, and not by a 'prentice hand?; and the prudence of a tenant farmer drawing public attention to his holding just now may well be questioned. The figures which follow are chiefly derived from farm accounts kept by my father, the late Edward Barrington, and myself; they extend over a period exceeding half a century. The accounts are kept with a detail which is not usual with farmers, and consist of six principal books.
Keywords:Farm wages
Farm accounts, 1836-1886
Composition of farm labour

Here's a recipe for a sweet potato casserole that I made last Thanksgiving.
Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic (from allrecipes.com)
5 sweet potatoes
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup (half a stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. heavy cream (whipping cream)
For the topping:
1/4 cup (half a stick) unsalted butter, softened
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Note: You may want to double the topping to make sure that there's enough to cover the sweet potato mixture.
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-Bake sweet potatoes for 35 minutes or until they begin to soften. Cool slightly, peel and mash. (You can also microwave or boil the potatoes. Just be sure to poke holes all over the potatoes if you plan to cook them in the microwave.)
-In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, salt, 1/4 cup softened butter, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, granulated sugar and heavy cream. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
-In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup softened butter, flour, brown sugar and chopped pecans. Mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture is the consistency of coarse meal. Sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture.
-Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F, until topping is crisp and lightly browned.

I have been using this recipe and everyone loves it! The lemon adds great flavor.
2 lbs. sweet potatoes
1 lemon
butter pats (one pat per potato slice)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
Cook sweet potatoes in boiling water until peels can be easily removed, approximately 10 percent done (about 10 minutes). Cool potatoes slightly (about 10 minutes), peel then cut into diamond shape or rounds about 3/4 - 1 inch thick (I prefer cutting into rounds).
Place into a 2-quart baking dish.
Place one pat of butter on top of potatoes. Cut lemon into 4 wedges, squeeze juice over potatoes and place wedges in with potatoes. Combine sugar and spices and add 3/4 cup evenly over potatoes.
Bake in 450 degree oven for approximately 45 minutes or until candied, basting frequently.

I moved this recipe from the front page to make room for the index.
Here's one of my favorite pumpkin recipes. It's a bit of a pain to make, but it's totally worth the effort! I make it only once a year.
Chocolate-Pumpkin Marble Cake (from Sunset magazine)
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks or 3/4 lb.) butter, at room temp.
3 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs (preferably at room temp.)
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups canned pumpkin
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt (I always leave out the salt)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
3/4 cup Dutch-processed unsweetened cocoa powder (I've used regular unsweetened cocoa powder and it turned out fine.)
2/3 cup buttermilk
Chocolate glaze (recipe follows)
- In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Scrape half the mixture into another bowl.
- To make the pumpkin batter: Beat pumpkin into half the butter mixture until well blended. In another bowl, stir together 1 3/4 cups flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt (opt.), cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and beat on low speed or fold in with a flexible spatula just until blended.
- To make the chocolate batter: In another bowl, mix remaining 1 cup flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt (opt.), and the cocoa powder. Add flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk to the other half of the butter mixture (starting and ending with flour mixture), beating after each addition just until blended.
- Spoon half the pumpkin batter into a buttered and floured 12-cup Bundt pan. Drop half the chocolate batter by spoonfuls over (but not entirely covering) the pumpkin batter. Repeat to spoon remaining pumpkin and chocolate batters into pan. Gently run the blade of a butter knife around the center of the pan several times, then draw the knife across the width of the pan in 10 to 12 places to swirl the batters.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree regular or 325 degree convection oven until a wood skewer inserted into center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 55-60 minutes. Let cake cool for 10 minutes in pan, then invert onto a cooling rack, lift off pan, and cool cake completely.
- Pour warm chocolate glaze over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Let stand until glaze is set, about 2 hours, or chill about 30 minutes.
Makes 12-16 servings.
Chocolate glaze:
- In a heat-proof bowl or the top of a double boiler, combine 4 oz. chopped semi-sweet chocolate, 1/2 cup whipping cream (heavy cream), 1 Tbsp. butter, and 1 tsp. light corn syrup. Bring an inch or two of water to a boil in a pan that the bowl can nest in or in the bottom of double boiler, then remove from heat. Place chocolate mixture over water and let stand, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 10 minutes.
Tip: It's best to make this cake the day before you plan to eat it (although I always want to dig into it the very same day ). Let the cake sit overnight, covered, and pour the glaze over the cake the next day. The first time I made this cake, I served it the same day that I made it and most people said that they couldn't really taste the pumpkin at all. When I tried the cake the next day, the spicy-pumpkiny flavor had really developed nicely.

Sweet Potato Pie With Crunchy Topping
(I found this recipe on chow.com, but it was originially printed in the New York Times.)
For the pie:
One unbaked 9-inch pastry shell
2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, at room temperature
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup evaporated milk
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash of salt.
For the topping:
2 tablespoons chilled butter or margarine
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup Rice Krispies.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a pastry shell in a pie plate and crimp edges; set aside. In a bowl, blend together the sweet potatoes, butter (or margarine) and eggs. Whisk in the sugar, evaporated milk, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
- Pour filling evenly into the pie shell. Cover the pastry edge with a strip of foil, leaving the center uncovered. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil from the pie and bake for an additional 15 minutes; meanwhile, prepare the topping.
- For the topping: in a bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar. Using a pastry blender or fork, mix together until crumbly. Add the pecans and Rice Krispies and stir to blend.
- When the pie has finished baking (for 45 minutes), remove from the oven and spread it evenly with the topping. Immediately return to the oven and bake until the topping is browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature before serving. Serves 8 to 10.

Multiple clocks
I want to place clocks at varying places with different tzoffsets. When I do the entire code, the first one reads the time when webpage first loads but does not run, the subsequent clocks just show all 8s.

Unfortunately what you are asking is harder than it sounds. The script would need to be significantly modified to support multiple sets of clock images. Right now if you add multiple clocks to the same page there are naming conflicts so the script doesn't know what images to change.

CHARLESTON, W.Va., Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- First Choice Services has taken over operation of the West Virginia Prescription Drug Abuse Quitline from the West Virginia University School of Medicine.
"We are excited for the opportunity to continue the operation of this tool that is so vital in the fight against prescription drug abuse in our state," Steve Burton, chief executive officer of First Choice Services, said. "We want to build on the successful foundation the quitline has established the last three years and provide a tool to help solve the growing prescription drug abuse problem in the state."
The success First Choice has had in helping 10,000 problem gamblers in West Virginia over a decade through the Problem Gamblers Help Network, which includes a gambling addiction helpline, led to the request for First Choice to take over the Prescription Drug Abuse Quitline. Both services will draw on First Choice's extensive network of mental health professionals.
The quitline connects persons in need of substance abuse services or family members to a network of mental health providers. While the line is not a service provider, it is a single point of entry for those in need of help.
The West Virginia Prescription Drug Abuse Quitline was created in 2008 with funding obtained through a settlement the state of West Virginia obtained from Purdue Pharma, a prescription drug company, for its aggressive marketing of the drug OxyContin. The funding from the settlement ceased in June 2011.
"We are currently looking for funding opportunities to sustain the quitline," Burton said. "This is a tool the state cannot afford to lose, and we are exploring both public and private funding options to continue its success."
First Choice needs $300,000 in annual funding to maintain operation of the quitline. The company will seek funding from the Legislature and private sources. The funding will be used to sustain the quitli

I run a garage and I have a weird problem:
When you first start this car, the abs brakes pulsate constantly while driving and braking for about 15-30 minutes of driving in traffic. After that, the ABS light will come on in the dashboard and then the brakes will stop pulsating and work great.
We have changed relays, ABS pumps, and the ABS module.

1999 Subaru Legacy Question: ABS is going wacky!
I run a garage and I have a weird problem:
Answer #1Bret Bodas from RepairPal Test Shop, December 22, 2009, 09:24Master
Is the pulsation occurring only when depressing the brake pedal? Or is the pump running all the time?
Have you checked the wheel speed sensors, are they clean? Are they tight and not moving around? Are the wheel bearings loose?
Any movement of the sensors can cause ABS activation, so check that out.

Hi Bretb;
The pulsation is only when you press the brakes for the first 15-30 or so minutes of driving, then the ABS light comes on in the dash and the brakes revert back to standard braking and work great. All speed sensors are clean and have good signal, and all wheel bearings are good. The boys have been on the car for two days straight now. I am ready to pull my hair out, as I am sure they are also!
ReplyBret Bodas, December 22, 2009, 11:51Master
Can you connect an oscilloscope at the ABS module and monitor the wheel speed sensor signals?
Any loss of signal, or corruption of the wheel speed signal can cause ABS activation. I've seen this from dirty sensors, loose sensors, loose sensor ring, loose wheel bearings/axles, loose suspension etc. Any of these may be visible on an oscilloscope display. Just a thought, check that the tires aren't overinflated.

Thank you, we will try that. We brought it to the local Subaru Dealer and they read the codes and charged us $38 to tell us that there was a broken ABS wire, but we haven't been able to find a thing.
ReplyBret Bodas, December 22, 2009, 12:02Master
That makes sense, what code did they pull? That should help to identify which circuit has the broken wire.
Replycardgrl, December 24, 2009, 11:51Rookie
After grueling hours and hours and hours, we brought it back to the Suby Dealer and it was one of the ABS rings around the front axles.
ReplyBret Bodas, December 24, 2009, 12:22Master
I used to call these "Learning Experiences", the next time you have a similar problem this will provide a ton of useful information. Glad to hear it is fixed.
Happy Holidays!
