Lakenray Taylor, 20, of Gunnison was shot in the chest by a single bullet on the County Court Square sidewalk of Main Street in Rosedale on July 5, 2003, between 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Taylor and her team of lawyers, Attorney Jim Collins and Attorney Helen Morris, believe that as a trauma two center that claims to offer the services of a cardiovascular surgeon in their regulations, should have one within the hospital walls, especially on a holiday weekend.
A level two trauma center is only one step down from the most sophisticated level of trauma centers, that being level one.
DRMC 's law team defends the hospital by saying that the trauma program was a voluntary program in 2003 and at the time DRMC applied to be a part of it, the standards and regulations required many specialized doctors that Attorney Carl Hagwood said, "Delta Regional does not have and has never had."
"I can't tell you the last July we had and it was a happy July," said Annie Taylor, the younger sister of Lakenray Taylor on Tuesday morning to the court.
When Willie Bea Taylor, mother of Lakenray Taylor, took the stand, she recounted the events of that evening.
According to Taylor, a former nurse supervisor at DRMC and a part time nurse at DRMC at the time of her son's death, she was notified by the police while in Rosedale, and then drove to DRMC where her son was to be transported by ambulance.
On her way to DRMC Taylor said she called Ella Sweet, the nursing supervisor at the time, and said it was necessary that she activate the trauma team.
Upon arrival, Taylor was not permitted to see her son while the hospital staff stabilized him.
"That's when my nightmare began," said Taylor.
Taylor was told that if she went back to the ER against hospital orders, she would be removed from the premises.
"I said 'let me in, I can help as a nurse,'" said Taylor.
It wasn't until about two hours later that Taylor was allowed to see her son and it was then she only saw two people in the room caring for her child, a nurse and a respiratory therapist.
Taylor said her son had goosebumps on his arms and his fingers were white due to him lapsing into hypothermia. It was then that she began to apply pressure to the IV bag to initiate more fluids and called for a Bair Hugger, forced air-warming technology, to warm him.
"I immediately jumped in … I started grieving as a mother. I said 'momma's here, baby, but momma's got to do some work," said Taylor.
Taylor asked why the cardiovascular surgeon, Dr. Hugh Gamble, had not been called, to which she was told that everyone was out of town.
"The first person I called was Dr. Dotson," said Taylor.
Renee Dotson was the trauma director of DRMC at the time and arrived minutes later to offer her assistance.
"I told Dr. Dotson, 'look I need you in this room,' and she went in and started working … there was one nurse in the room," said Taylor.
It was then that Taylor called Gamble at home.
"He immediately answered the phone," said Taylor. Despite being irritated at being woken up at such a time and not being on call, Gamble told Taylor to have the general surgeon Alan Billsby call him and he would be there.
Gamble questioned Taylor as to why Billsby had not called him sooner and Taylor said she did not know.
"I found Dr. Billsby in the doctor's lounge and asked would he call Dr. Gamble and in about 15 minutes Dr. Gamble was in the room fussing and throwing his charts — he was devasted like I was devastated. He said 'why wasn't I called? This young man has a spider's web chance now,'" said Taylor.
Taylor said according to Gamble, the only reason her son had survived that long was because he had been in such good health.
"My life was flipped upside down. Every day I wake up I miss him and I feel like I failed him," said Taylor.
Taylor also said that it would have been faster for her son to be taken to Clarksdale as it was closer to Rosedale, where he was shot, and he would have been closer to The Med, a trauma 1 center, but she chose Greenville because she was under the impression that a cardiovascular surgeon would be on the premises to treat her son.
"A lot of hospitals depended on DRMC to be the eye in the sky," said Taylor.
Taylor believes that the hospital should have alerted EMS that the cardiovascular surgeon was not on duty that weekend so patients could be diverted to a different hospital if necessary.
DRMC CEO J. Stansel Harvey was brought in by the defendant, Attorney Carl Hagwood to be an expert witness and discuss why the hospital did not have a cardiovascular surgeon on the premises that night.
Harvey explained that the hospital having been built in 1958, the board was using funds to repair and replace the deteriorated facility and therefore did not have the funds to staff all of the doctors included in the guidelines set by the department of health.
"It would be impossible for the board to bring in physicians that aren't in demand," said Harvey.
Had specific specialists been required in 2003, including cardiovascular surgeons, Harvey said "We would not be able to meet a mandate like that."
"We have a difficult enough time recruiting physicians to the Delta anyway," said Harvey.
The defense team will continue to attempt to prove that because the trauma program was voluntary at the time, it was not necessary to have a cardiovascular surgeon on the premises, or to have EMS diverted to other hospitals because of this.
When cross-examined, Morris, lawyer representing Taylor had Harvey review the list of services offered by DRMC's trauma program.
After reading the list, which included cardiovascular surgeons and services, Morris asked "It's doesn't said we offer these services sometimes, does it?"
Harvey said the patient would need to be assessed by a qualified physician before it being determined that a cardiovascular surgeon would be necessary.
The cardiovascular surgeon Hugh Gamble will take the stand on Wednesday morning to shed more light on the procedures of the trauma program within his position, and to explain what happened that evening.
The Bolivar Commercial will have more as the story develops.

June 9, 2010 (Mooresville, N.C.) - NASCAR Camping World Truck Series points leader Todd Bodine is set to steer the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra around Michigan International Speedway in search of another NASCAR career victory at the track. Bodine has two victories in NASCAR's number two division at the Brooklyn, MI, facility. He and the Germain.com Tundra team have finished fifth or better in seven of eight races this season.
"Racing a truck at Michigan is a lot like running a speedway. The draft is huge. You really have to pay attention to it and understand it. At the same time, handling is critical because the corners are so long, the race track's worn out and the grip isn't good, so the handling of the truck has to be perfect. It takes every aspect to be perfect in order to be fast at Michigan. The way this Germain.com Tundra team is working, I'm looking forward to us having another good race weekend at Michigan," said Bodine.
Bodine raced chassis TRD-122 at Michigan last year. This year TRD-131 gets the nod for duty on the 2-mile oval. Chassis TRD-131 made its Germain Racing debut at Nashville, scoring a fifth-place finish. The truck then was raced at Kansas (third-place), Dover (fifth-place), Charlotte (second-place) and Texas (win).
"We've had several race trucks over the years that have been winners and workhorses in our truck inventory. We haven't had a clear-cut favorite chassis in the last couple seasons that's given us the consistent performances that TRD-131 has. This truck has delivered top-five performances each time it's been put on the track and we're confident it's the right truck for Michigan," explained crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. of the truck that won last weekend in Texas and will race Saturday at Michigan.
Bodine captured the 2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship points lead following race seven at Charlotte. After eight races, he has a 65-point lead over second-place Aric Almirola. In the Truck Series owner's standings, Germain Racing took the lead over Kyle Busch Motorsports by 12 points following last week's win at Texas.

Taichung Mayor Lin Chia-lung has temporarily "pulled the plug" on Sou Fujimoto'sambitious Taiwan Tower, saying he would rather pay a penalty for breaking the contract than spend an estimated NT$15 billion to realize the "problematic" project. The Banyan tree-inspired tower was hoped to become the "Taiwanese version of the Eiffel Tower," as well as a model for sustainable architecture by achieving LEED Gold with its energy producing features. Its steel superstructure, which proposed to hoist a triangular section of the Taichung Gateway Park's greenbelt 300-meters into the air, intentionally had "no obvious form" and was to be perceived as a natural phenomenon. However, since Fujimoto's competition-winning proposal was originally selected back in 2011, its budget has nearly doubled. And, as Chia-lung stated, safety concerns have also mounted. The mayor will be organizing a "special team" to review the project and come up with a replacement plan.

Emanuel, cops, prosecutors aim for stiffer sentences for gun possession
BY FRANK MAIN Staff email@example.com February 10, 2013 10:26PM
Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez . | Al Podgorski~Sun-Times

Updated: March 12, 2013 6:20AM
The mayor, cops and prosecutors are taking aim at Illinois' gun possession laws — calling for longer mandatory prison terms and "truth in sentencing."
Their wish list includes boosting the minimum required sentence for people convicted of gun possession from one year in prison to three years.
They hope to increase the minimum sentence for felons caught with guns from two years to three years.
They also want everyone convicted of felony gun possession to be required to serve 85 percent of their sentences. Now those inmates must complete only half their terms — and sometimes much less after earning "good time" in prison.
Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said the proposed reforms would deter more people from carrying guns illegally and would help curb violence.
"The guys who are doing the shootings would be away from the corners for a longer time," Alvarez said in an interview.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, whose office drafted the legislative proposals, is expected to announce them Monday with Alvarez and other officials.
"Criminals continue to escape with minor sentences for possessing and using firearms," Emanuel said in a prepared statement.
For months, police Supt. Garry McCarthy has proposed lengthening the mandatory sentence for gun possession to three years, pointing to New York City, where he was once a high-ranking cop.
The state of New York passed a 3½-year mandatory minimum sentence for illegal gun possession in 2007. The following year, NFL star Plaxico Burress was arrested after a handgun he was carrying accidentally discharged and shot him.
Burress pleaded guilty to a lesser offense and was hit with a two-year jail term, drawing national attention to New York City as a place that cracks down on illegal gun possession.
Criminologists point to the mandatory gun sentence in New York as one of the reasons for the Big Apple's continuing decline in violent crime.
Chicago — whose murder tally rose 16 percent to 506 last year — has about three times as many murders per capita as New York. Also, about 85 percent of murders in Chicago involve a gun, compared to about 60 percent in New York.
While the cops and prosecutors in charge of locking up criminals support lengthier sentences, one judge said the General Assembly — and the public — need to think hard before making the gun laws harsher.
"As a taxpayer of this state, I would hope the legislators are cognizant that creating mandatory minimum sentences creates a financial consequence to the state," said Cook County Judge Nicholas Ford. "A lot of judges bristle at mandatory minimum sentences. It's not my position to question it. It's my job to enforce whatever the legislature forwards me.
"But for a person who's never been convicted of a felony, for a person who's never committed a violent crime, for a taxpayer who's never had any problems with the law, I wonder about that," Ford said.
Alvarez responded that few people without criminal backgrounds are charged with felony gun possession in Cook County.
"You will see that once in a while, but that is when our discretion [as prosecutors] comes into play in charging and in looking at cases once they're in the system," she said.
Supporters of mandatory minimum sentences say they also provide a predictable outcome.
Indeed, a Chicago Sun-Times examination found wide disparities in how often Cook County judges put people behind bars for gun possession before mandatory minimum sentences fully took effect in early 2011.
Ford, for example, sentenced 42 defendants for gun possession and sent about 76 percent to prison. About 21 percent received probation and 2 percent went to boot camp. The length of his average prison sentence was almost two and a half years.
Judge Michael Brown, meanwhile, sentenced 45 defendants. About half went to prison, 23 percent received community service, 18 percent probation and 5 percent boot camp. But the length of his average prison sentence was more than three years.
Overall, Cook County judges sent nearly three-quarters of such defendants to prison for an average sentence of almost two and a half years. About 14 percent got probation, 6 percent boot camp and 4 percent community service.
The newspaper studied 2011 sentencing outcomes in felony gun possession cases that didn't include other types of crimes.
Many of those cases involved 2010 arrests, which didn't apply to the mandatory minimum sentences that took effect in 2011.
A separate law that took effect in late 2009 requires a minimum sentence of three years for gang members convicted of carrying a loaded gun.
The Sun-Times analysis found that judges sometimes sentenced defendants to Cook County boot camp — a four-month program with eight additional months of strict supervision.
Ford called boot camp a "really solid disposition" for younger defendants without a felony record or violent background.
But Alvarez said she doesn't think judges should have the option to sentence such defendants to boot camp.
"It's not 'pen' time," she said. "I think the law is clear that they should not be giving boot camp, but judges see it a different way."
Alvarez said she's considering discussing the matter with Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans and "seeing if there's something we need to change legislatively — or litigate it."
As Alvarez and other politicians pursue tougher gun laws, one man convicted of illegal gun possession surprisingly said they're right.
Matthew Munoz, 24, was arrested in 2011 after he and his pals got into a squabble with rival gang members on the South Side.
No shots were fired and they drove their separate ways. But someone called the police and officers found a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun in the car Munoz was riding in.
"It was a nice gun. It wasn't rusty. It was well taken care of," he said in an interview, adding that he bought it on the street.
Munoz was eligible for probation because his crime happened in 2010, before the one-year mandatory minimum took effect. He was sentenced to two years' probation, but after one year he messed up when he tried to foil a drug test.
Munoz was sent to prison. But because he got credit for time he spent in the Cook County Jail, he said he spent only one day at Stateville Correctional Center.
"It's called 'dress in and dress out,' " he said.
Munoz is now on parole, which he vows to complete successfully. He plans to go to school and get a job.
"Some people need prison to learn their lesson," Munoz said. "I wish I got sent to prison a long time ago. I kept getting probation for this and that. . . . Chicago is getting out of control with the gang violence. They should send those guys to prison — even guys like me."

PRESCRIBED FOR: Propoxyphene is used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain. DOSING: The recommended adult dose is 1 capsule (65 mg) or 1 tablet (100 mg) every 4 hours as needed for relief of pain. Doses should not exceed 390 mg (capsule) or 600 mg (tablets) in a 24-hour period. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Propoxyphene, like other narcotic pain-relievers, increases the effect of drugs that slow brain function, such as alcohol, barbiturates, skeletal muscle relaxants, for example, carisoprodol (Soma) and cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), and benzodiazepine sedatives, for example, diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan). Combined use of muscle relaxants and propoxyphene may lead to increased respiratory depression. Combining propoxyphene with carbamazepine (Tegretol, Tegretol XR, Equetro, Carbatrol) may have extreme effects on the brain including coma. Since propoxyphene causes constipation, the use of antidiarrheals, for example, diphenoxylate (Lomotil) and loperamide (Imodium), in persons taking propoxyphene, can lead to severe constipation. Drugs which both stimulate and block opioid receptors, for example pentazocine (Talwin), nalbuphine (Nubain), butorphanol (Stadol), and buprenorphine (Buprenex) may reduce the effect of propoxyphene and may precipitate propoxyphene withdrawal symptoms. PREGNANCY: There are no adequate studies of propoxyphene in pregnant women. NURSING MOTHERS: Low concentrations of propoxyphene have been measured in the breast milk of mothers taking propoxyphene. It is not known whether these small amounts can cause side effects in nursing infants. SIDE EFFECTS: The most frequent adverse reactions of propoxyphene include lightheadedness, dizziness, sedation, nausea, and vomiting. Other side effects include drowsiness, constipation, and spasm of the ureter, which can lead to difficulty in urinating. Propoxyphene can depress breathing and should be used with caution in elderly, debilitated patients and in patients with serious lung disease. Propoxyphene can impair thinking and the physical abilities required for driving or operating machinery. Propoxyphene may be habit forming. Mental and physical dependence can occur but are unlikely when used for short-term pain relief.

Armanti Edwards Cut
The Appalachian State QB turned WR officially never panned out as a NFL wide receiver, despite years of opportunities. Though Armanti is well liked for his attitude and excellent work ethic, the talent just was not there.
His career with the Panthers will go down as one of the many drafting mistakes that belong to Marty Hurney.

:: beforebut....but....but....
And we kept him over Gettis why?
Oh my god.
Huddle explosion in 3... 2... 1...
Making room for Josh Gordon
Finally. It has come to an end. No clue why he was on the final roster if we weren't going to try to use him.
Why god why?!?!?!?
Well I guess this means no Superbowl.
In b4 Gettis bandwagoners
Too late
Failcons might take him...

LOL. Damn. They are so quick.
Making room for Josh Gordon
Lol was waiting for it.
Too late
LOL. Damn. They are so quick.
I'm not really upset about this, it was going to happen sooner or later.
But this really speaks to the utter disarray that our organization is currently in. Gettleman worries me.
lol cruising over to appfan.com right now*
*they think the reason armanti isn't a star NFL player right now is just because the panthers are a dumpster fire and don't recognize his talent
I sincerely hope this means we're planning on making a move at WR, but who knows.
I wish him luck. It wasn't his fault we drafted him and tried to turn him into a WR. If that was the only chance I had to make a nfl roster, I would have did the same. Hope he catches on somewhere
Atlanta just found their Julio replacement

Ok--I admit I'm getting the ebay bug. I have this favourite clothing brand called Boden. They call it boutique on the internet, but it is actually what we Brits call catalogue shopping and you North Americans refer to as mail order.
Anyway if these clothes were any cooler they'd be having sex (oops--didn't mean to write that out loud). The reason for this outburst is two-fold. Firstly, and yes Peggy that is a word, firstly, I got this fantastic gift in the mail on the weekend from my friend Karen. Check it out--and the model wearing it IS the heroine in my wip. It is gorgeous and lovely with sequins and I have to wear a decent 'feminine support garment' beneath it, which means I actually have cleavage (turn your ears off, Pop) so DH approves.
Secondly, I was browsing ebay for an MP3 player, which I failed to find and accidentally typed in the word Boden. LOL. OMG. :D Cheap Boden clothes :O So I have been following the things I like and bought this gorgeous navy rain jacket for my DD. Their kids clothes are awesome but the boy stuff goes for a bomb second hand? I really don't understand that, but anyway...
Writing news... drum roll please. I finished Storm Warning. Got my finger out and buckled down :D I need to rewrite the syn and get this baby out the door. Then I'm going to work on my next proposal.
American Idol news... Elliot stayed and Chris the rocker got the boot. Man he was surprised and a little annoyed I think. Anyway the man has a fabulous future ahead of him and I wish him good luck.
ER news... Ohhh. Sad episode last night. Great acting. Very political, but I love that. I hate sissy on the fence stuff. Give me conflict and controversy in a story anyday. Really like the characterization.
Off to bed--any typos are the result of the celebratory bottle of wine DH and I opened.
May is my favourite month!!!!!

- Bailey Stewart said...
You finished it!
Is Loreth correct? Are you holding out on us? You wouldn't do that to me, would you? Afterall, when you become my FBA, as your number one crazy stalker I need to know these things. - 6:36 am
Just discovered Boden - DS had a 'Gone Fishing' t-shirt for his birthday which was tres cool!
Happy birthday for Sunday hun. - 7:18 am

Firstly, Toni (LOL), congrats on finishing the WIP.
American Idol was a shocker. Wasn't sure if Chris was going to break down and cry or cussing.
Lovely blouse. - 7:29 am
- Dennie McDonald said...
I am so shocked by Chris leaving... of course we didn't vote - it's all my fault!!!
I heart eBay - I am addicted!

- Toni Anderson said...
Deb--after 27 years you'd think you'd get the date right! Sheesh!
Next week--honest and I am truly unable to keep quiet about it. I expect people to get excited! How uncool is that!!

On ER, Pratt only had to do a two week stint in Africa? What are the chances now of a Ray/Neela pairing. Did you see a preveiw for next week. It is the season finale.
- 10:11 am
Derrrr, I know it's the 16th I just got mixed up with the days - HB4 Tuesday, double check, triple check - yes Tuesday. Have a fab day and well done on finishing the WIP. x
p.s. Why isn't it asking me to enter a password now? - 11:45 am

Wow, you are a maniac! Well done, and you have another idea in progress. Sweet.
- 11:58 am
- Bailey Stewart said...
Well, that just messed up my calendar (cross off 14th, change to 16th). If you'd just tell us these things in the first place poor Deb wouldn't have to get so upset. LOL
- 12:28 pm
- Brandy said...
Thanks for the introduction to Boden. I'm sure my DH won't thank you! (My fav is Coldwater Creek.) You finished? Yaaaayyyyyyy! Way to go! I stopped watching ER after Carter left. So now you've got me a little curious.
- 12:45 pm
- Toni Anderson said...
Melissa, it is addictive though :(
Mary--thanks :)
Christa--yeah I thought it was pretty short for a stint in Africa, but I guess he was forced to go and so he'd be using his vacation time right? And i missed the trailer!!! Grrr!! But I thought Vic was amazing... his acting is outstanding. Unless he really is loopy :)
Deb--thanks sweety. You upset Eve though. It is only for you, everyone else still has the letters BTW. Just kidding :) I thought I'd see how Bloggers despamming thing went so took verification off for a while to see how we get on. I hate those darned letters!!
Scott--really, I am organized and controlled on the outside and *not* on the inside. I have four stories I really want to write right now and have to prioritise. Not everyone understands maniacs. :) - 12:47 pm
- Toni Anderson said...
Hi Brandy!! Poor hubbies :) Love ER. Can't give it up.
- 12:48 pm

Book Review: Crucible of Invention
Think Dutch: Conceptual Architecture and Design in the Netherlands. Bilingual text by Jeroen Junte and David Keunig. Daab/Frame Publishers. $175.
A third of the Netherlands lies below the present sea-level and the first priority is to live with, above and even on water. So it's appropriate that this provocative survey should begin with a focus on water. Here are inventive bridges, a floating mosque, and a half-submerged tax office, as well as water purification devices.

48 Go Green

What is the 48 Go Green?
We think that 48HFP filmmakers, the boldest and most creative in the world, are the best people to draw attention to the environmental challenges the world faces. To that end, we created a new 48HFP competition: the 48 Go Green.
Just like the 48HFP, the 48 Go Green challenges you to make a narrative short film in only 48 hours, writing, shooting, and editing it. But, to mix things up, this challenge has some slightly different rules than the 48HFP.
- Environmental Themes. Teams were randomly assigned a theme for their films which has to do with the environment. The themes are: animals, energy, the environment in general, forests, the next generation, the planet, the sea, and water.
- No genre assignment. Teams got to pick their own genres.
- Elements. We still provided teams with a character, prop, and a line of dialogue which must appear in their films.

This is my first one so I suggested doing one of gals from my home city, because as Drake says, "All I care about is money and the city that I'm from." Although that's not entirely true and I don't listen to Drake at all. Once I suggested this concept, your kontributors chimed in with:
"Women who live in the apartment building across from me."
"The women of Vancouver, as captured by this camera I hid in a women's dressing room at H&M"
Because that's right, I'm Canadian, if you didn't catch Eric outing me recently. Maybe I think it's a bigger deal than you do, but that's only because of Canada's inferiority complex with America. Don't ask me about the CFL. I opted not to go with that locals-only concept, although there are a few Vancouverites in here.
Speaking of hidden cameras in dressing rooms, I remember seeing Revenge of the Nerds as a kid, and the part where they put in cameras at the sorority and Booger says "Bush! We've got bush!" I remember thinking, "This. This is porn. I've finally seen porn. Nothing is more porn than this." I've kept you waiting long enough. On to the sexy.
I want more like this!

The legislation required a simple majority, or 218 votes, to pass but the vote was 234-195 against.
Many Republicans wanted deeper cuts to the food stamp program, and the traditionally bipartisan bill also suffered from lack of Democratic support.
"I am very disappointed," said Republican Miss. Rep. Alan Nunnelee in an Associated Press report. "This continues to put us on a fiscal path we cannot sustain."
Payments to federal entitlement programs will continue but support for agriculture programs, including crop insurance subsidies, would be suspended if legislation is not enacted by the Sept. 30 deadline.
At that time, Congress could approve a one-year extension to the current bill, as was the case last year.
"The agriculture community and our economy need the certainty that comes with a five-year farm bill," said U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., the ranking Republican on the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
"We face a September deadline to provide that certainty, and I am hopeful the House will still be able to come back and pass a bill that can be responsibly conferenced with the farm bill passed by the Senate."
With a bipartisan 66-27 vote on June 10, the Senate approved a bill that reduces spending by $24 billion, and eliminates more than 100 programs, while reforming and updating others.
Mississippi Farm Bureau President Randy Knight said in a press release that this turn of events was very disappointing.
"Our farmers need a farm bill passed and they need it passed now," stated Knight. "Without a farm bill, farmers could have trouble getting production loans, equipment loans or any number of other things that go into running a farming operation.
"We certainly appreciate Congressman (Ryan) Nunnelee, Congressman (Gregg) Harper, and Congressman (Steven) Palazzo for working to help pass this bill. Farmers need a safety net through crop insurance to provide protection against catastrophic weather and market changes.
"The Farm Bill gives Mississippi farmers and ranchers the ability to stay in business."
MSFB Region One manager Justin Ferguson said the talk amongst local farmers is that politics have gotten in the way of solutions.
"The general concern from farmers right now is that the bill didn't pass because Congress can't come together," said Ferguson. "The other problem is that farmers feel this is not really a political issue — and it's become very politicized."
Michael Aguzzi, Bolivar County farmer and chair of the MSFB Rice Commission, agreed that the local mood revolves around disappointment and uncertainty.
"The farm bill is a safety net for farmers so they can determine what to put into their budgets," said Aguzzi. "Basically, it comes down to uncertainty, especially when farmers are trying to plan production costs for the year.
"This is going to cause a trickle-down effect in a lot of ways considering how farming is the number one industry in the Mississippi Delta."
Determining he Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program budget— otherwise known as food stamps — has lead to major debate about the legislation.
Leaders of the House Republicans have struggled to gain party-wide support on the level of cuts to SNAP. The House version of the bill called for more than $20 billion from the program over the next 10 years, while the Senate version called for just more than $4 billion in cuts.
SNAP accounts for 75 to 80 percent of the budget, which according to some estimates could cost taxpayers as much as $995 billion.
The Food Research and Action Center applauded the House for decisively rejecting the bill, saying in a press release that it would have harmed millions of struggling people in need of food stamp benefits.
"House Members who voted against this bill because of its awful SNAP provisions have shown they care about the hungriest people in America — children, seniors, working families, unemployed workers and individuals with disabilities — who are struggling every day to meet their basic needs and to put food on the table," said FRAC President Jim Weill. "The House did the right thing, and we applaud them for it."
Questions loom and farmers anxiously wait to see what's established before the Sept. 30 deadline.
"It's a pretty unprecedented moved for a farm bill not to pass," said Ferguson. 'There's a lot of political uncertainty.
"Even a one-year extension will lead to uncertainty. Usually a farm bill is designed for five years. It's a very frustrating time right now."

Today the Panthers have a chance to solidify their post season hunt status when facing the Atlanta Falcons. We all know that division games are the most important on the schedule, and today is no different.
Expect a tough physical game with a result within a single score.
On TV: FOX
Radio: 1110 WBT
I will be tweeting pics and observations from the sidelines starting at 11:30. Follow @CarolinaHuddle
Keys to Panthers Victory:
- Take Tony Gonzalez out of the game, force other players to make plays.
- Rattle Matt Ryan early. His confidence is at an all time low.
- Continue targeting Tedd Ginn deep. Just by trying the deep ball the short pass to Jonathan Stewart out of the backfield is more likely to succeed
Prediction: Panthers 20 - Falcons 13.

We have an opportunity to put the final nail in their season's coffin today.

Let's fuging do this Panthers!
I could care less if the Falcons are strugg-a-ling...
How much less?
Don't care about their score, it won't be close to 40.
I think it'll be a higher scoring game, 37 - 16. Panthers get on a roll in third quarter.
i feel like a kid on christmas day. it was hard to go to sleep last night and i woke up really early this morning. i wanted to sleep in a little while but i was too excited.
hoping the panthers start fast again and pull themselves ahead by a couple TDs by half time and just protect that lead the rest of the game.
we score more than 30 again.
our opponents score less than 15 again.
just another day at the office.
Last night while fast asleep in his comfortable slumber an etheral misty vision intruded itself in Ryan's subconscious world. It was in the form of a dire warning from above " KRACKEN GONNA GET YOU BOY"
ready to kick some arse!!
Im trying not to get my hopes up but it is hard. We should blow them out.

©1988 Paulo Coelho; (P)2005 HarperCollins Publishers
"The story has the comic charm, dramatic tension and psychological intensity of a fairy tale, but it's full of specific wisdom as well, about becoming self-empowered, overcoming depression, and believing in dreams." (Publishers Weekly)
"Yareli Arizmendi spins this marvelous tale of exotic adventure....[He] makes us feel the pain and joy of Santiago, the poor shepherd boy, as he tries to decide whether to seek a larger fortune or stay in the security of his job. Exuding softness and pathos, the narrator reminds that us most people who are unhappy failed to follow their dreams when young." [AudioFile]
Traveler. Artist. Dreamer.
"A quest for dreams come true"
Santiago is a young man who proceeds in literally making his dreams come true. He is an ordinary man, full of doubts and fears, like you and me, but he has this drive inside of him and a courage to continue on his path. This is a fantastic fable filled with unsurmountable challenges and life changing choices. I do agree with a previous reviewer in that Paulo over uses "omen", but it's kind of funny when you expect it. Jeremy Irons does an amazing job with changing voices to match each character (his voice does get low at points though). This is, hands down, my favorite book.
"Marvelous Book & Expressive Reader"
No better choice to read this magnificent book by Paul Coelho than Jeremy Irons. It is exceptionally well read, with great expression, and wonderful adaption of voice to characters. I have had it on audio cassette since it was first released in that format and was delighted to find it available in audio-book format at CD quality. It's truly a must have and is suitable for all ages. The book is also most profound yet told simply with grace and depth.
"A Timeless Tale"
I've been listening to Audible books for years, but this is the first one that, after finishing it, I immediately bought a hard copy. In fact, I bought TWO!! One for me to (re)read and mark up with highlights and notes, and one to pass around to my family and friends! This story is an amazing parable, richly layered with insights for finding and living a richer, more grounded, more meaningful life. Never "preachy", this is an allegorical story written in lyrical language that stands beautifully on its own. Add the richness that Jeremy Irons's delivery brings to this Audible edition, and it becomes a transcendent experience.
List of favorite books: Woodcutter - Reginald Hill, Consent to Kill, First Deadly Sin - Lawrence Sanders, Sniper Elite - Scott McEwen
"Made me think about my own dreams not followed"
I was given this book as a gift. Because it falls under the category of a "Fable" with a hint of fantasy, I probably would not have got it for myself. I really liked this book through and through. It really made me stop and think about how I have let a busy life and possibly some fears stop me from pursuing things I want to accomplish - Not need to accomplish.
Jeremy Irons was obviously Jeremy irons and told the story very well. It was a great story and I am glad I listened to it.
"A must for every young person"
I really enjoyed this book. While it is not necessarily the enthralling Hero's journey that I thought it would be, this book should be on every high school and college student's reading list. It helps to put your "personal legend" or life's mission into perspective. While it isn't nearly a basis for theology, it touches on the many issues that people face as they embark on their life's journey. I especially liked the Alchemist's advice about not giving up on your life's mission for love. While admirable and definitely worth while, if one ends their life journey to pursue love, they will regret it and eventually resent the one they love. On the other hand if that significant other truly loves you, they will encourage you to pursue your personal legend and even wait for you if need be. To stand in the way of another person fulfilling their purpose does an injustice to that person, but is also self detrimental. Each person is on this earth for a purpose. It is up to each of us to be open enough to God's plan to find and pursue that purpose. Then we can truly live rich and fulfilling lives.
"What the Dream Give tried to be meant"
When I first started reading this book I thought I was reading a part of the Count of Monte Cristo. Then as it progressed I felt I was reading the 'Dream Giver' and realized this book is what Brian Wilkins was trying to achieve when he wrote his book. The Alchemist was written 20 years earlier and it a great story. The 'Dream Giver' always left me wanting more. Here the author give us more and then some. This book ties in very well with 'Infinite Possibilities by Mike Dooley' extremely well as well as 'Excuse Me Your Life Is Waiting by Lynn Grabhron'. Here we meet a young man who thinks he has it all and is content with life, but his dreams tell him there is more out there. He pursues it and the story begins. After reading it I've removed the 'Dream Giver' from my recommended list and have replaced it with this book instead.
This is everything you want in an audiobook: a gorgeous story, beautifully read. I could listen to Jeremy Irons for hours... in fact, I did!
I am an avid "reader"- I prefer to listen to books rather than read them due to the added dimension added by the narrator.
"Very special... a keepsake."
This book is one that I will read (listen to) over and over. The lessons one learns from this book are very similar to those one understands when studying Law of Attraction. The principles are sound and the story is a wonderful one. Jeremy Irons does a fabulous narration. Some chide me for not "reading" books... but when one can have the treat of hearing a talented actor such as Jeremy Irons do a rendition of such a special book, it's a win win as far as I'm concerned. I am now anxious to read other books by Paulo Coelho!
"A Meanigful Listen"
Jeremy Irons does a wonderful job narrating this work. The story is an easy listen. It is packed with lots of meaning and there were times I wanted to stop the audio just to think about what was being said. Lessons on life, love and the way we see the world can be found in this wonderful story.
"Personally, I did not care for it"
This book was very little story surrounded by lots of rather ill-conceived philosophy. The little story there was is very simple with every small conflict easily resolved within a few 'pages'.
I also did not agree with several aspects of the 'follow your dreams at all costs' theme that the writer espoused. I don't want to put in any 'spoilers' but the writer put way too much emphasis on the 'personal legend'. I was sick of that phrase by the end...
Be warned it is VERY judeo-christian based, so if that kind of thing offends you, then stay away. I am a Christian, but still found the way the author used religion to be heavy-handed.
Perhaps if you are looking for inspiration you might enjoy it, but I left it feeling uninspired and wishing I had spent my credits elsewhere.
PS: Jeremy Irons did a good job with the reading, no complaints there.
"Mr Irons makes this reading beautiful"
Whilst a lot of people may debate aspects of the book and its content in their review, I would like to comment on the extraordinary power and beauty of the reading by Jeremy Irons. His voice made this story a real joy to hear, I am going to search and see if he narrates any more on here. Having read the book before I can honestly say that Jeremy Irons' reading surpassed my reading by far. His dynamic tone and characterisation truly transport you on the magical journey of wonder that this book is all about. Thank you Audible, thank you Mr Irons, a beautiful 4 hours indeed.
"Such an inspiring story"
This was recommended by Will Smilth during an interview on his ideas of success.
It's a simple and interesting tale with lots of twists and thought provoking ideas.
Highly recommended to anyone, especially those interested in "the way" or personal development.
"Great Story - Great Narrator"
This was recommended to me by a friend and I really enjoyed it. The narration was 1st class.
"This story moved me."
This is a wonderful and thought-provoking tale. I wanted to listen again as soon as it was finished! It really invites you to read between the lines and reflect upon your own life story. Highly recommended.
"Soft, easy and inspiring"
This book is all it's hyped to be. A warming and inspiring story with great characters and intrigue. A nice twist too ;)
Jeremy Irons really enhanced the story for me too. His accents were apt and sometimes amusing; his voice acting top notch.
The ending, the characters.
I've not.
Irons made the experience absolutely better.
"Beautiful reading"
As the first audiobook I have listened to, I worried about the narrative voice blurring my own appreciation of a wonderful story. Irons' narration, however, is expressive and clear and brings a real authority to the reading.
"Great story, shame about the performance."
I love this story, read it a few times. It's one of my favourite books. However, the performance spoilt it for me. It was not very good. Some of the characters accents was not fitting with the back drop of the environment and the setting of the story.
"Enjoyable the 2nd time around"
I read the story of The Alchemist many years ago, back then, I kind of got the jest of it and that life is a journey. Fast forward several years later and instead of picking up the book, I listened to the book. The audible story transformed me to another place that the book version wasn't able too at that time. I listened to the story over two days and was drawn in with the experiences throughout the book.
I also suspect that I, myself, was at a place to truly understand the story. Worth the read and worth the thoughts that one has while listening to the story. Recommended Read!
Jeremy Irons has a good voice that doesn't take away from the words being expressed, he's able to capture the characters and the story where one is intrigued to keep listening and can't quite stop the audiobook.
Emotional reaction, doesn't have to involve laughter or tears, instead I was greeted with a higher awareness of things, daily things, one take for granted. My emotion was more meaningful and one of thought.
Life is a journey as it has been said many times. This book is about a journey, I believe it can help one to stop and think for a while and observe ones own life. To look at the individual belief system and ask questions that deep down each of us knows the answer.
its just a different way to absorb the message. Both book and audio were very enjoyable
No one particular part... I liked the whole book
No, I liked listening to it during my stretching sessions
"Very disappointing"
This book was extremely disappointing. It was very cheesy and sentimental drivel. Badly written, repetitious and juvenile in style. The characters are one dimensional and in being so lacks depth. Despite it crossing various parts of the world, it fails to describe any of the beauties or otherwise of the places. In summary, this is a very badly written self-help book. The only good thing I can say about the book is that it is short ...
I would not recommend this book to anyone - just a waste of time and money!

Thoughts Can't Be Neutral
November 15, 2012 by TMO
By Imam Abdullah El-Amin, TMO
"…By the soul, and the proportion and order given to it; and its inspiration as to its wrong and its right. Truly he succeeds that purifies it. And he fails that corrupts it…"
Holy Qur'an 91:7-10
You must be either going forward or backward…but don't just stand there. You are going forward when you choose to purify your own heart. Purifying your heart can't be a neutral action. You must actually DO something to purify it. And you must do something to corrupt it. You will succeed if you purify it…you will fail if you corrupt it. But the thought process must be either positive or negative. Simple!
Whatever you want out of life, your faith in ALLAH gets it for you. The only criterion is you must expect the best to materialize. You must expect, look for, and accept a miracle when it comes to you. ALLAH can bless you and you can be afraid to accept. We sometimes have a fear of success because it will put more responsibility on us.
There are other people are in a dire situation and actually don't expect a positive change to happen. They feel they will only get worse. They say, "After all, isn't that the way it's always been?"
But if you expect the same no-good existence, that's exactly what you will get. If you are planning to be a recipient of sadaqua funds next Eid ul Fitr, you will probably be the first in line to receive it. But suppose you saw yourself having enough money to make a large donation for the poor. It would be an entirely different situation. Your lifestyle would change. Your finances would also have to improve because your donation would only be a small part of the total finances you have. Simple, isn't it? And don't forget to factor in the law of return ALLAH has made. One grain of corn can produce seven ears, and each ear producing a hundred more grains. And it goes on and on.
Our brains work by repetition. Whatever it allows to enter its confines will affect and insure its future course. That's why you should expect the best. That's why you should always think positive. Look to the high point of the mountain and you are assured of reaching it. ALLAH'S favor is forever. Expect His goodness to first be on you and then permeate throughout the society.
I know a fellow who has a mind brilliant enough to see lot's of potential problems way ahead of the problems materializing He always says "this might happen if we do this, or "there's a possibility that someone may want to stop it." It's good to have that kind of foresight. The problem is he lets that knowledge prevent him from making a move. He sits there because something might happen. So a potential enemy wins without any effort – just a persona has succeeded in impeding his progress.
People often ask me "what keeps me going? The answer? I expect the good. I expect people to like me. Not because I'm such a dynamic individual and irresistible person. Also, it's not because I'm without a whole lot of faults. I expect people to like me because I don't go out of my way to harm anyone. To the contrary, those who know me know I'll go out of my way to help if I can. So if someone just arbitrarily hates me, I feel something is wrong with them.
There is hope from ALLAH for all of us. Blessings are imminent for those who serve Him with gratitude. But first you must get your life in order. Think positive. Think the best – and it will happen.
As Salaam alaikum
(Al Hajj) Imam Abdullah El-Amin

If the new social media heroes have their way we would all be tweeting all of the time. If "no publicity is bad publicity" then maybe there is no such thing as a bad tweet (common rules of decency aside).
Angela Merkel's spokesman found this not to be the case earlier this year when he announced her visit to the US on Twitter. Why the problem ? He forgot to tell the press corps first and they were less than impressed not to be the first to know. In this case it wasn't the content but the process they objected to.
The extreme solution to the problem is of course not to engage with social media. At the end of last year, 30 top german companies announced they were banning employee access to social media. Avoiding the issue won't help – it would be a bit like saying "we had a customer support issue – lets avoid customers from now on". Keeping employees away from social media is not only futile (many of them will have mobile access anyway) it is also counter-productive. How are you going to develop critical thinking and strategic skills if you are not engaged ? How will you be able to respond if someone else challenges you on Twitter ?
Many companies now use Twitter-like systems inside their organisations to encourage internal conversation and communication and this looks likely to become an important component of corporate information sharing in the future. Combining status updates into live feeds showing colleague and contact activities and assets looks set to transform productivity. Of course there has to be some care taken, especially in regulated environments, to ensure nothing is shared inappropriately.
One of the most interesting uses of Twitter we have seen is at Events. Many now feature a Tweet Wall which displays real-time tweets using a specific hashtag. Delegates can use it to arrange to meet between sessions, Vendors use it share news with everyone at the event and everyone can use it broadcast news and views to the world. It can be an amazingly rich useage of what is an essential simple channel.
Particularly for external communications, clearly the best solution is to engage corporate brain before opening corporate mouth. It's easy now to automate your communications to keep all channels up to speed at the same time. You can focus on effective content and communication based on a smart corporate strategy and regular brand experience.
There may not be such a thing as bad publicity but powerful tools like Twitter can put you in a very bright spotlight very quickly. Be Prepared !

I get the error that basically says "You have set your embed code for a width and height greater then the .swf file"
I have had to deal with the gray outline before with other sites when trying to embed a flash file.
Note: I do not have expanded game window toggled, so that not it. I do have it zoomed about 3 times, though.
