Some people who go through near-death experiences say they see a bright light or a deceased loved one as they linger close to death. Cleveland resident Eddie Brewer said he saw peaceful blue skies and clouds that resembled angels until a jolt of electricity at the hospital shocked his heart back to life.
On Oct. 6, Brewer suffered a heart attack as he was on his way to the woods for a camping trip. He credits Bradley County Emergency Medical Services and the staffs of SkyRidge Medical Center in Cleveland and Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga with saving his life.
"I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart," he said.
Brewer, who turned 62 on Oct. 9 — three days after his heart attack — is grateful he lived to see his birthday.
He said he and some family and friends were driving in separate cars to head out of town for a weekend camping trip. A friend who was driving the car in which Brewer was riding noticed he was looking ill. He asked if Brewer needed to go to the hospital. He said no, but quickly changed his mind. They turned the car around, and Brewer said he staggered into the SkyRidge ER and told the receptionist he was having a heart attack. He said the staff rushed into action as his health continued to go downhill.
At one point, his heart stopped, and he remembers looking up from his bed and seeing blue skies and clouds that he later decided were angels. Some of his family and friends, of course, tell a different story. They saw a member of SkyRidge's medical staff shocking him with a defibrillator to get his heart back into a normal rhythm.
Fortunately, everything worked out for Brewer to see his next birthday.
"I wouldn't be here today without them," Brewer said.
After he was stabilized at SkyRidge, he was taken to Memorial Hospital for further treatment.
As with many heart attack patients, he suffered some damage to his heart.
"I'll be on heart medicine for the rest of my life," Brewer said.
But one positive thing that came out of his negative experience was the realization that he could start again and make positive changes to his lifestyle, including quitting smoking. He had been smoking for about 50 years — since he was only 12 years of age.
"I told the doctor, 'If you let me walk out of this hospital, I'll never smoke another cigarette,'" Brewer said.
He lost his wife to a heart attack in July of last year, but he did not think one could happen to him. Now, he cautions people to pay attention to their own health.
According to the American Heart Association, smoking is "the most important preventable cause of premature death in the United States." Smoking can increase a person's risk for a variety of heart-related health problems.
Brewer had also begun drinking alcohol at a young age and quit back in the mid-1990s when he suffered liver problems as a result. Alcohol can also lead to conditions like high blood pressure than can contribute to heart problems, according to the American Heart Association.
Since he recovered from the heart attack and began to take necessary steps, he said he has been glad he had the medical professionals who helped him. He said all of them — from the ER doctors and nurses at SkyRidge and Memorial Hospital to his physicians, Dr. Ajitkumar Kemkar in Cleveland and Dr. Samuel Ledford in Chattanooga — have been supportive.
"They were excellent," Brewer said. "They took care of me well. I wouldn't be here today without them."
His focus has shifted toward living a healthier lifestyle and spending time with those he loves.
Brewer is a disabled U.S. Army veteran originally from Pennsylvania who most recently worked as a parts coordinator at Maytag in Cleveland before having to retire.
He does have his regrets. He said he regrets not quitting smoking earlier than he did, but said he quit drinking some 16 years ago.
Brewer said he does not know why he survived this heart attack. However, he does know one thing. He is grateful to have gotten a second chance at life.
According to the American Heart Association, cigarette smoking accounts for more than 440,000 annual deaths. Cigarette smokers have a higher risk of developing several chronic disorders. These include fatty buildups in arteries, several types of cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which leads to heart attack.

When you create a new plan in Palo Alto Software's Business Plan Pro, a Plan Wizard asks you a series of basic questions, creates a file and activates the Task Wizard.
The Task Wizard offers a checklist of eight to 10 steps, depending on the kind of business you're planning. Each step has up to six associated tasks. For example, the Initial Assessment includes Objectives, Mission, Break-Even Analysis and Potential Customers.
Click on a task, and the program takes you to its input screen, which consists of two horizontal panes. In the top pane, you can toggle between instructions and an example. In the bottom pane, you enter your version of the text or numbers.
The controls on this screen give you plenty of flexibility. You can pop into a word processor to edit your text more fully or format it for readability. You can access the previous topic, or the next one, with buttons of the same name, or select a topic from a plan outline. Another button returns you to the Task Wizard.
Besides the extensive wizards, the program offers built-in "plan versus actual" analysis, so you can compare real outcomes to predicted results.

So to please me and the families, my husband has graciously granted an open, in the yard at our house, wear blue jeans if ya want to the ceremony and "party" after on June 9, 2007. Here is my problem - I am very laid back, hate shoes, want to look pretty, from the hippie generation, don't like formal short or long gowns but do want white or ivory for my dress that can have vines with small flowers or something like that (my husband will be in jeans and a Jimmy Buffett T-shirt I know!), it has to be light weight, and just past the knee. My daughter, who is a notary, married us on her front porch that the house we just got done moving her and her daughter into. It was hilarious!! They got my granddaughters tiara and put an old fashioned table doily (sp?) attached to it; picked me a small group of yard flowers; made up the ceremony and vows (which said he had to obey - NOT ME) while we went to get a few drinks! As we sat on the front porch swing with granddaughter in between us blowing her bubbles, we got married. Both of us coming from religious families, we decided to have our marriage performed by a minister. So, where in the heck can I find a wedding dress that is me? HELP!!!! I have been all over the web and just can't seem to find anything. Thanks so much, Britts Grams |
Follow-Up Postings:
You may look at www.threadheadcreations.com they make dresses of natural material (hemp) and have some pretty styles - limited selection though. You could always have one tailored (they all look like full length). Being hemp and/or even cotton they should be lightweight and flowy, I'd think. There are lots of options out there - google, google, google. Even if you just see a picture you could likely have a dressmaker build it for you with your specifications. Good luck finding what you want and congratulations on your marriage. Have fun at your ceremony and "party" - that day will never leave your heart. |

You might want to consider having a dress made for you. Check with a local seamstress. You would be more apt to get what you want and in a style that you like. |

Also, check the websites of some of the big retailers. I saw one at Nordstrom's that might work, and there are lots more out there. Just search under "casual" and "white" or "off-white". |

Check out this one and the one linked below. They are both quite affordable. http://www.amazon.com/Newport-News-Brands-Eyelet-peasant/dp/B000NUX39C/ref=pd_sbs_a_5/103-4009223-7391054 They are both from Newport News Brands so if you think they are close to what you want, check their website. Think about the weather in June when you choose a dress. |
Here is a link that might be useful: dress
since it will be a very casual party how about a fancy skirt and tank top or blouse? I was actually thinking about this skirt with a plain shell myself. It looks long in pic, but notice its hanging off her hips, and I'd want it longer. if it were at your waist it would be just the length you're looking for. |

How many of you are watching the Olympics? We all pay attention to the athletes and their amazing feats of skill and determination, but there's another Olympic marvel to wonder over: the facilities. When you think about it, it's amazing that countries will build countless structures for a very limited-time use. What happens to them once that gold-medal luster has worn off?
National Geographic has a rundown of some past Games structures and their fates. Here are a few of our favorites:
You can swim where Michael Phelps had eight winning races! The Beijing Water Cube is now a water park. Great re-use of space! It honors the original purpose of the building while allowing it to grow into something that is fun and useful for everyday people.
Here's another Olympics re-use example, in reverse. The Memorial Coliseum in Los Angles has been around since the 1920s and used for the University of Southern California's football team. For two separate Summer Olympics (1932 and 1984) the Coliseum was able to be temporarily re-purposed and then returned to its normal state.
This is a bit sad. Athens hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics, and it was beautiful. Unfortunately it appears the structures have fallen into disuse and disrepair. Pictured above is the Olympics Pavilion.
If you were in charge of building these structures, what suggestions would you have for their re-use?

Girls basketball: Jameka Collins works hard for MC
By Ryan Haskell Post-Tribune correspondent January 18, 2013 10:44PM
Michigan City's Keshyana Cooper and Crown Point's Miranda Elisj reach for a rebound during a game on Friday, in Crown Point. | Scott R. Brandush~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: January 18, 2013 11:07PM
CROWN POINT — Hot shooting and a pressure defense that resulted in 10 first-half turnovers put Michigan City in the driver's seat in the first half against Crown Point on Friday night.
But the Wolves still needed a little pick-me-up in the third quarter when Crown Point opened the second half on a 9-0 run.
That's when senior Jameka Collins stepped up her game.
Collins got down and dirty underneath the basket picking up four rebounds and putting in five of her team-high 18 points. It ignited a 16-5 run in the third quarter helping her team to the easy 69-54 Duneland Conference win against the Bulldogs.
"The position I play is the most important so I have to get there to make the plays for my teammates," Collins said. "We had to start it all over. It seemed like we took a rest so we just needed to get it going again."
Michigan City (14-3, 9-2) was on fire from the field shooting as high as 80 percent at one point as it knocked down six 3's in the first half. The Bulldogs couldn't focus on one player either as Toni Murphy, Collins, Michal Miller and Aubria Clifton all finished in double figures for the Wolves.
"I think we came out playing the way we're capable of and if we keep doing that we feel real good about where we thought we'd be around tournament time," Wolves coach Mike Megyese said. "They came out strong in the third quarter but we were able to put our foot on the gas again and get out to a big lead."
The Bulldogs (4-13, 2-9) started off the third quarter strong thanks to the ballhandling ability of freshman guard Hannah Albrecht and post play of junior Katija Tarailo. Albrecht finished with 12 points and four assists, while Tarailo recorded 12 points and eight rebounds.

Opus Anglicanum - The Evelyn Thomas Database of Medieval English Embroidery | |
Introduction | Browse Locations | Browse Object Types | Browse Iconography | Simple Iconographical Search |
Opus Anglicanum or "The Work of the English" is a term first found in documentary sources outside of England to refer to English embroidery of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Characterized by underside couching, this work is of the highest quality and materials including gold and silver thread and was prized throughout Europe. Although the term was first used to refer to work up to the middle/end of the fourteenth century it is now widely applied to the succeeding two centuries as well and this database covers the time span up to the end of the sixteenth century.
It is nowadays a term that is usually applied to liturgical vestments but it has to be remembered that it originally included secular textiles as well. Much of what survives is fragmentary in nature and a lot perished in the Reformation.
One of the foremost scholars in the field and a lady whose work has provided the foundation for this database was Grace Christie whose monograph A Brief Survey of English Embroidery Dating from the Beginning of the Tenth Century Until the End of the Fourteenth : Together with a Descriptive Catalogue of the Surviving Examples : Illustrated with One Hundred and Sixty Plates and Numerous Drawings in the Text was first published in 1938. Her work is not only a catalogue raisonne of all known pieces of Opus Anglicanum but also an iconographic and stylistic analysis of the pieces. Her work excludes the later periods and focuses mainly on the techniques of working which was her particular strength and interest. The aim of our database is to provide an electronic and updated version of Grace Christie's work and to document as many of the later pieces as we could find. As such, the numbers she applied to the works is maintained here and extended for new pieces which she was unaware of. Whereas her images were in black and white we have attempted where possible to acquire color reproduction of these works and our thanks go to all the curators and image holders who have helped us in this task. This database is very much a work in progress and we realize that there are many small fragments still out there which we are unaware of. It is likely that many churches still own pieces and we hope that these will be added over time. A number of works currently do not have any images attached but it is our hope that these will be lessened over time.
The inspiration behind this database was a British Academy-funded Symposium organised by Dr M.A. Michael, Professorial Fellow at the University of Glasgow and Academic Director of Christie's Education, with the help of Glyn Davies and held at the Victoria and Albert Museum on February 15th 2013. It was at this conference that I met Evelyn Thomas and also had the privilege of seeing many of his images reproduced in lectures given by scholars at the conference. He graciously agreed to give his slide archive of nearly a thousand images for digitization to the Index of Christian Art. The archive of original slides was developed by him for research into the subject- and he visited many museums and collections in his research into the subject. His knowledge of these works is unsurpassed and our thanks to him for sharing these images and answering our questions. Our thanks go to Michael Michael for realizing the potential of these slides for the broader scholarly community. The Database is dedicated to Evelyn Thomas with gratitude. Nobody could have helped more than Glyn Davies who has the wonderful task of working with what is surely the largest collection of Opus Anglicanum in existence at the Victoria and Albert Museum. He graciously helped in answering all our queries with charm and efficiency and went way beyond was requested.
The focus of our work here is the iconography and that has not hitherto been undertaken in such detail. The user is given a number of options to view the data. The first of these is the Browse Locations link whereby the researcher can see the entire alphabetic list of sites where these works are found. Once a site is selected you are returned a gallery display of all the parts and images which we have for that work. The records are all numbered according to those given by Mrs. Christie and her overall plan or diagrammatic breakdown of the works is the first image in every record. We have continued to use Christie numbers for the more recent works with which she was unfamiliar but which are included here. It is also possible to browse by object type, so for example if you wish to find only dalmatics or palls you can select these options from the dropdown menu.
The plan of the work is followed by an overall photograph of the work (where we have it) and then the individual parts as enumerated by Mrs. Christie are given. The catalogue fields include Country, Location, Object Type, Date, Dimensions, Iconographic Subject Terms and Bibliography. A small thumbnail image can be enlarged by clicking on it.
The second option is to browse the subject terms used to classify the iconography. These are alphabetically listed a-z and once selected you will be brought to all the examples for that subject.
The third option is to search the database using a Simple Iconographical Search. By entering at least two letters you are brought to the closest alphabetic match. So for example if you type in 'cr' it brings you to every example of the crucifixion catalogued in the database. These are returned in a gallery format display and it is possible to get more information, along with a larger image by clicking on your selection.

Breakfast Topic: Why did the raid wipe in Terrace of the Endless Spring?
It's time for a good panda-themed pun thread. We have the obvious choices -- Pandemic, Pandamonium, and so on -- but there's a wide range of Mists jokes out there just waiting to be told. Like the action star named Jean Claude Pandamme, or how the most evil dog in the world is that Sha-Tzu.
What's your favorite Mists of Pandaria joke? While I can't promise fabulous prizes for the best pun, I can promise to chuckle under my breath, and flick a sad, distempered glare at those poor souls who don't get your refined sense of humor.

PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) - Maricopa County election officials say replacement ballots they sent to Peoria residents because a mistake left a City Council candidate off the ballot also omitted the candidate's name.
The county spent $15,000 sending out nearly 8,500 new ballots to add back Ken Krieger as a Peoria City Council candidate.
But Maricopa County Elections Department officials said Wednesday the replacement ballots also left Krieger's name off. Officials are now trying to figure out how to handle the repeated mistake.
Krieger attorney Kory Langhofer says the repeated mistakes can't be fixed because of the voter confusion they've created. He says a special election is required.
Krieger's candidacy was initially put on hold due to a challenge. Elections director Karen Osborne says she failed to return his name to the ballot.

What: Brokering deals
between race cars and sponsor companies
Who: Cragg Eubanks of RaceSport
Where: Wichita Falls,
When: Started in 2001
Cragg Eubanks, a 47-year-old amateur sports car aficionado, uses his expertise to broker business deals and his contacts in the professional racing industry to find corporate marketing partners for race teams nationwide. "Everybody realizes that the whole marketing venue in sports is changing and that we have to come up with methods to better manage these programs," says Eubanks. "We have to come up with business plans to show these corporations what they're going to get out of it if they invest these marketing dollars in professional motor sports teams."
He first came up with the idea for his business after realizing that the hundreds of millions of dollars spent every year on team sponsorships yielded few quantifiable results for the companies that choose to invest their marketing dollars. So he decided to change the way sponsorships were approached.
Today, his company brokers deals that generate revenues and value for everyone involved. For example, RaceSport brokered a licensing deal between Lampus Racing (a major race team) and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), whose logos will be placed on Lampus race cars. In exchange, RaceSport is seeking corporate sponsors in the non-alcoholic beverage industry for MADD, which plans to implement a multimedia-based youth education and awareness program at the race track. Having closed one deal and with another in the works, Eubanks is on his way to reaching sales projections of $400,000 by the end of the year.

About Us
To be the leading provider of vital on-site health, education and employment services to low-income families, children and seniors. Our goal is to help keep family members employed, children in school, and seniors active.
Project Access envisions that all residents of affordable housing communities have the opportunity to achieve self-sufficiency and maximize their full potential.
What is Project Access?
Project Access is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was founded in 1999. The seniors and families served by Project Access are "low-income"– that is, with incomes at or below 60% of the area median; and a substantial number are "very low-income" – often with incomes below $10,000 per year. Project Access runs resource centers at over 55 low-income properties throughout California and Colorado and provided direct services to over 10,000 people in need in 2013.
The Project Access Approach
Project Access works with affordable housing developers/owners in a partial fee-for-service relationship to bring free services to residents and in some cases, those living within the overall community. This partial financial commitment and in-kind donation of space allows Project Access to bring additional resources together to develop comprehensive programs at our Resource Centers. Project Access' bilingual Service Coordinators offer a variety of programs and services to address individual and community needs. For a listing of our programs and services, please click HERE.
Who We Serve
The demographic make-up of our clients is:
The age range of those we serve is 51% children ages 18 and under, 44% adults age 19 to 54, and 5% over age 55.
Evaluating Success
We consistently measure our core programs: after-school, health, capacity building for adults and senior socialization. New initiatives are also evaluated such as the financial capability and asset building program for program effectiveness.
We evaluate programs in several ways. First, we track unduplicated participation in programs through a database to understand our reach. We then measure the impact of services on those that participate using a variety of tools including pre and post-tests, observational tools, self-report surveys, report cards and community wide surveys. Surveys indicate how our programs and services have changed residents' lives as a result of learned skills, behaviors, or values. Pre and post-tests and report cards measure skills and knowledge. Annually, we collect and analyze data to compose the social impact report, which is a culmination of our yearly outcomes. We then use this data to formulate a best practices plan for program improvement.

Marketing automation has just reached its proverbial tipping point, a business phenomenon writer Bryan Walsh described as, "the levels at which the momentum for change becomes unstoppable." Early this year, many experts predicted the category would boom in 2010, and news just hit that Oracle has acquired the intellectual property assets of marketing automation vendor Market2Lead.
Companies around the world tell us that marketing automation is the most important sales and marketing investment they've made. I expect Oracle's entry to make a major difference in the attention paid to this sector. It's going to open marketers' eyes, and, as a result, expand the market. This is exactly the type of movement this industry needs.
You see, the potential market for lead management systems is less than 10 percent penetrated. Although the sales and marketing teams using this technology are winning their markets because they are able to react to buyers in real time and measure what is working, upwards of 90 percent of their counterparts have yet to recognize the value in marketing automation.
That's all about to change. When a bellwether like Oracle makes a move, everyone takes notice.
This means that more large customers will buy software in the space, and that can only be good for Eloqua. After all, we offer the most robust solution that delivers the fastest time to value. That is why industry shake-ups are traditionally a very good thing for category leaders. When fresh eyes look at a market, they are immediately drawn to the companies with the strongest track record, most momentum and broadest reach. That's the trifecta; that's Eloqua.
Today's news is the second big move in the marketing automation space in the last month, alone. Yesterday, China.com (now CDC Software) announced it completed a major investment in Marketbright. Observers are likely to predict the CDC and Oracle deals will trigger further M&A activity. It's always possible one acquisition sets off a chain reaction. But don't expect such speculation to distract Eloqua from our core focus on organic growth through technical innovation and tireless service. That's how we grow.
One unusual twist to the Oracle/Market2Lead story is that Oracle bought Market2Lead's IP, not its customer contracts. It appears as though Oracle has left some of the early pioneers of the space – Market2Lead's customers – behind in this acquisition. As the company that invented the space, Eloqua is prepared to assist all those who play in it. If Market2lead customers feel this change hinders their ability to succeed, we stand ready to help. I am in contact with Market2Lead's management to develop a seamless transition plan for any customers who want to move to the Eloqua platform. The transition plan I've proposed emerged from one-on-one talks I've had with them about what's in the best interest of their clients. With collaboration like this, not only are Market2Lead clients in good hands with Eloqua, but so too is the marketing automation industry.

Police found the victim, Daniel C. Brennan, 23, of the 100 block of Marshall Drive, about 11:20 p.m. in his PT Cruiser on Cave Springs Road near a Dennys restaurant.
The cars transmission was in park and Brennan was alone inside with a gunshot wound to his shoulder. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital about three hours later. St. Charles Lt. Mike Akers said Brennan drifted in and out consciousness and talked to police but could provide few details about the shooting.
Police described the shooting as an isolated incident but wouldnt say more about its circumstances.
Brennans mother, Diane, said detectives told her he was shot during an apparent robbery at the Trails of Sunbrook apartment complex on Cave Springs Road.
She had spoken to him about 10 p.m. as he was leaving work and thought he had gone to the apartment complex for a party.
She said she told him she had a pizza waiting for him, and he replied I love you, mom, before hanging up.
Brennan was a 2005 Timberland High School graduate and a shift manager at a Qdoba Mexican Grill in Wentzville, where he had worked since September 2007. His manager, Bart Weinstein, 48, said he promoted Brennan from line cook to manager because of his strong work ethic and rapport with customers.
He treated everyone like a relative, Weinstein said.
His mother said he had a passion for helicopters and had attended classes to become a pilot. He had also taken community college classes. She said he also enjoyed camping and playing golf.
He lived at home and had recently purchased and renovated a foreclosed home in Wright City, where he was planning to move in about a week. He was not married but had a serious girlfriend.
On Monday, he was there cutting the grass and sitting out there daydreaming about his new life, Diane Brennan said. But he told me, After I move out, Ill still come home for dinner.
Anyone with information on the case is asked call the Major Case Squad at 636-949-3564 or the anonymous CrimeStoppers hotline at 636-949-3333.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

VPOTUS pool report
Military retirement ceremony Capt. Mark Kelly of the U.S. Navy.
Stephanie Innes
Medical Reporter
Arizona Daily Star
Office: 520-573-4134
Cell: 520-349-6924
Pool was escorted into the Secretary of War Suite in the Eisenhower
Executive Office Building at approximately 12:45 p.m.
Approximately 50 guests were seated in the room, which is decorated with
the first U.S. flag to fly over Paris after the liberation at the end of
World War II.
Guests included NASA Administrator Charles F. Bolden, Under Secretary of
the Army Joseph William Westphal and Vice-Chief of Naval Operations
Admiral Mark E. Ferguson.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sat in the front row, House Minority
Whip Steny Hoyer, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, U.S. Reps. Debbie Wasserman
Schultz, Adam Smith, Erik Paulsen and Pete Olson as well as retired U.S.
Rep. Ike Skelton.
The ceremony started late, so Bolden and Hoyer talked to the press pool
while everyone waited.
At 1 p.m. Hoyer told reporters that he'd visited Giffords twice while she
was in the hospital, and said the two are very close. He admires the way
she is committed to getting a job done, "as opposed to throwing bricks at
each other," he said.
When Giffords came to the Capitol to vote Aug. 1, Hoyer called it, "such
an energizing and uplifting experience." He rode up and down the elevator
with her that day.
"I told her 'I love you' and she responded 'I love you,'" Hoyer said.
At 1:15 p.m. Bolden said most people who U.S. Navy retirements are not
presided over by the vice president of the United States.
"It's really special to have the vice president as the retiring official.
Not very many people get to do that. And I think it's quite appropriate,
given, you know that his wife is a sitting congresswoman. Mark's been an
incredible leader for us in the astronaut office. We're sorry to see him
The ceremony began at 1:40 p.m. Biden later apologized for the late
start, explaining he had been visiting with Kelly and his family in the
West Wing.
Kelly came in with his family, including daughters Claudia and Claire
Kelly, mother Patricia Kelly, Giffords and Giffords' mother Gloria
Giffords. There was prolonged applause when they came in. Giffords entered
the room with her chief of staff Pia Carusone.
Giffords wore glasses, black pants and running shoes. She also wore a
brace on her right hand. She smiled as she came in. Her hair is still
short but has grown out a little since her Aug. 1 vote on the debt
ceiling. She sat in the front row, beside Carusone.
She stood up on her own for the pledge of allegiance and invocation, which
was delivered by the Rev. Patrick Conroy, who is the House chaplain.
"Our nation has gained in the gift of self from this great citizen,"
Conroy said.
One of his daughters helped award Kelly the Legion of Merit, and Biden
helped pin it on his jacket twice since it came loose the first time. The
Legion of Merit was established by Congress in 1942 to recognize members
of the armed services who demonstrator, "exceptionally meritorious conduct
in performing outstanding services."
Giffords got up on her own to help present her husband with the
Distinguished Flying Cross medal, which he earned for commanding the
fourth and final flight on the space shuttle Endeavour. She pinned it on
his jacket with her left hand. Biden commented that she did a better job
with the pinning than he did.
Biden said he was honored to officially retire Kelly. He said Kelly and
Giffords had requested he perform the ceremony. He said Kelly's daughters,
who are 16 and 14, are both very bright and beautiful and joked that they
should not be allowed to date until they are 30.
"Mark I hope to hell you have big guard dogs," Biden said.
He introduced Kelly's mother and Giffords' mother. Giffords waved and
smiled at both women. As Biden introduced individual guests, Giffords
looked at each one, smiled, waved and blew some air kisses.
"As vice president I get to work with an awful lot of people who devote
their lives day to day to public service," Biden said.
"But it's not everyday you encounter examples of sheer, sheer courage,
selflessness and dedication, like you see in this couple," he said of
Giffords and Kelly.
He said Kelly has, "commendations galore," including top decorations given
by the Pentagon and NASA. He noted that service is a Kelly family
tradition. Both of Kelly's parents were police officers and Kelly's
identical twinbrother, Scott is also an astronaut.
He spoke directly to Kelly, saying that after he graduated from the United
States Merchant Marine Academy with highest honors, "you knew you wanted
to fly," and he became a naval aviator.
He said that Kelly flew 39 combat missions on two deployments during
Operation Desert Storm on the USS Midway with the U.S. Navy.
"Then came the opportunity to fly higher and you took it," Biden said.
"The Navy lent you to the NASA astronaut corps in 1996."
Biden said Kelly did his job with "humility and humor." On one shuttle
mission that included the task of repairing a faulty toilet at the
International Space Station, Kelly, "floated through the airlock and said,
'I understand you are looking for a plumber.' And one hell of a plumber
you were."
He commended Kelly for leading the Endeavour space shuttle in May and
spoke directly to Giffords, saying she is an inspiration to thousands of
people who suffer from traumatic brain injuries.
"I don't use the word loosely. You are an inspiration. You've been
inspirational, people looking, saying 'I can make it, I can do this,'"
Biden said.
He thanked Kelly for being devoted to his nation and his family.
"You have spoken to the whole country," he said.
Kelly was the final speaker. He said it has "truly meant a lot to us," to
have so many people "in our corner" during the last eight months.
"Gabby and I want to thank you for your boundless friendship and optimism
as our family has traveled this road over the last eight months," he said.
Kelly said there is no greater friend and no worse foe than the U.S. Navy.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to fly in space not just once but
four times," he said. "NASA is the example of scientific research,
development and success and must remain a permanent part of the fabric of
this great country."
Kelly gave flowers to his daughters and to Giffords. He gave Giffords a
bouquet of pink tulips.
"Gabby, you remind me everyday to deny the acceptance of failure," Kelly
said. "I look forward to the next phase of our life together and watching
all of your future achievements."
The pool was escorted out of the ceremony at 2:15 p.m.. A private
reception with family was held with crackers and cheese, sandwiches and
Additional Info from the office of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords:
Giffords was not expected to go to Capitol Hill or conduct any

Mid-May was a busy time for Ultriva. In addition to connecting with our users at our annual Customer Conference, we were an exhibitor at NetSuite's SuiteWorld 2014. SuiteWorld is Netsuite's annual user conference for customers, partners, media, and industry analysts in San Jose, California.
First, some background on Ultriva. For many years, our business model has been to sell to Enterprise manufacturing companies. Our Lean Suite is ERP agonistic and integrates with over 20 different ERP systems. We are servicing over 200 enterprise customer plants and more than 8,000 suppliers, in over 20 countries worldwide. Most of these companies use our Collaborative Supplier Portal to on-board suppliers to gain true visibility.
Recently, we announced that our Collaborative Lean Suite has achieved the 'Built for NetSuite' verification, just in time for SuiteWorld. This new SuiteApp, integrates using NetSuite's SuiteCloud Computing Platform, and will provide NetSuite manufacturing customers with Electronic Kanban and lean manufacturing solutions.
While at the SuiteWorld conference, our sales team was able to engage with NetSuite's manufacturing customers, which are small and medium businesses. One thing became evident; whether the company was enterprise-sized, or a small or medium manufacturing company, the problems are the same.
On the floor at SuiteWorld in San Jose, we heard from manufacturing companies on issues related to carrying excess inventory, part shortages, lack of control over production schedules and supplier performance. While the distribution companies complained about not able to carry the right mix of Finished Goods (FG) inventory, lack of supply chain visibility and excess inventory.
Ultriva's Lean Suite provides a collaborative platform for companies to establish Electronic Kanban with their customers and suppliers, as well as provide lean manufacturing processes. All the Ultriva modules – Inventory Optimization Tool (IOT), Customer Kanban, Supplier Kanban and Lean Factory Management, will exchange data seamlessly with NetSuite ERP.
Ultriva is excited to partner with these NetSuite customers. By integrating Ultriva Lean Suite with the NetSuite ERP, small and medium business will now be able to:
I also wanted to emphasize that our Inventory Optimization Tool (IOT) module is a great starting point for small and medium businesses. Our IOT now integrates into the NetSuite ERP and utilizes a manufacturer's historical data to uncover opportunities to reduce inventory and identify parts suitable for Kanban replenishment.
The Ultriva IOT identifies the potential inventory savings from historical NetSuite data and/or forecasts and can show estimated inventory savings. The tool is ideal for these small and medium-sized manufacturing and distribution companies that move materials across their global supply chain.
NetSuite Customers can now directly contact Joseph Ekman, Ultriva Director of Business Development/NetSuite Partnerships at (408) 961-9467. He will be happy to address your supply chain issues and show you how easy it is to integrate NetSuite to Ultriva modules.

brings everything together. It combines the governor, the Terminator, the bodybuilding world, the True Lies…"
The animated TV show and comic book, being co-developed by no less a superhero authority than Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee (pictured, right), won't be out until next year, but this week EW offers an exclusive early look at Arnold's cartoon alter-ego. "The Governator is going to be a great superhero, but he'll also be Arnold Schwarzenegger," Lee says of the semi-fictional character. "We're using all the personal elements of Arnold's life. We're using his wife [Maria Shriver]. We're using his kids. We're using the fact that he used to be governor. Only after he leaves the governor's office, Arnold decides to become a crime fighter and builds a secret high-tech crime-fighting center under his house in Brentwood."
Along with the Arnold Cave, the Governator will have a fleet of super vehicles at his disposal, a closet full of "Super Suits" that allow him to fly and perform other super stunts, the best gym and garcinia cambogia extract supplements for his secret lair and a team of colorful sidekicks, such as Zeke Muckerberg, the precocious 13-year-old computer whiz who acts as the Governator's cybersecurity expert. Naturally, there will also be recurring supervillains — including an evil organization called Gangsters Imposters Racketeers Liars & Irredeemable Ex-cons (or G.I.R.L.I.E. Men, for short). For Schwarzenegger, the cartoon is obviously the next best thing to being President. "I love the idea of a control center below my house with a path so that boats and submarines can go right into the ocean," he tells EW. "In the cartoon, my house is much closer to the beach than where we live, but, you know, it's a cartoon."
Check out EW's Facebook page and "like" us (if you haven't already) for access to exclusive video of Schwarzenegger discussing his return to Hollywood with Stan Lee.
For more on The Governator, including additional exclusive art from the project, plus our lively interview with Schwarzenegger, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands this Friday.

Through a brazen stunt never before attempted in the Arab world, owner of the television group 'Melody', Jamal Marwan, publicly declared his divorce from his wife Jilan Samhoud by airing his grievances in a television commercial.
Marwan dared to post the court verdict from his divorce case by running the words on the screen, while an announcer with a deep baratone voice boomed out the judgment. The Egyptian businessman decided to run the caustic commercial all day long.
This chaotic break-up comes after 14-years of marriage. Marwan is the son of Ashraf Marwan, the political security advisor to the late Egyptian president, Anwar Sadat. Marwan's mother is Muna Abd Al Naser, daughter of the late Egyptian president, Jamal Abdel Naser.

Excel Defense Studios prepares students of all self-defensive stripes to kick, punch, or headlock their way to safety and better fitness in its state-of-the-art MMA training facility. Muay thai kickboxing, Brazilian jujitsu, and E.D.S. CrossFit highlight a catalog of combat classes that fortify members with the techniques necessary to triumph over hostile fat cells and time-warped samurai. Professional course instructors—many with military or law-enforcement backgrounds—take advantage of a 5,500-square-foot studio's full gym, boxing center, and mat area to train fighters of all abilities and fitness levels. Would-be warriors can strengthen their skills or submit to hands-on headlock training in more than 50 intense MMA classes each week. An unlimited membership also grants customers access to an array of cardio machines and weight-training equipment, including Life Fitness and Hammer strength machines.
Though members should constantly check the forecast for tornado kicks and knuckle-punch lightning storms, Excel Defense Studios fosters a safe and non-intimidating environment for all age groups and skill levels. Parents and their children are encouraged to sign up together, as families often use the 300-square-foot MMA training cage to settle tree-trimming disputes with the neighbors.
GroundWorks Gym's name is no accident?the foundational title is a metaphor for the studio's entire fitness philosophy. The center's trainers believe that a solid foundation of not only strength, but also respect for one's body, is the key to success. That's why they buttress their fitness classes with unique sessions centered on healthy movement. For example, Functional Movement Screens can identify athletes' disordered movement patterns and provide corrections to help them avoid injuries and awkward dance-offs, and Primal Move classes help boost mobility and strengthen the body's stabilizing muscles to give bodies a stronger foundation.
This foundation comes in handy during the gym's range of intense group classes. CrossFit sessions help athletes of all ages and body types achieve total-body functional fitness with high-intensity routines, which might include performing lunges, squats, and burpees, heaving kettlebells, or lifting weights, depending on the workout of the day (WOD). Experienced martial artists train adults and kids of all levels in the art of muay thai and jiu jitsu, along with leading?of course?foundational classes designed to forge the kind of strength and mobility essential to these disciplines.
Because they believe movement is a precise science, the teaching team at Pilates + Yoga only recruits experts. Each certified instructor must have a background of 10 years or more in their movement-based art, whether they practice Pilates, yoga, dance, or interpretive sitting. They wield their knowledge during the studio's classes, adapting mat-based and apparatus moves to suit beginners and Pilates pros alike. Their wealth of experience also allows them to structure specialized lessons for pre- and post-natal women. From moves aboard the reformer machine to Vinyasa sequences to boot-camp circuits, they compose workouts that hone both strength and mental focus. The Pilates + Yoga studio reflects the same level of commitment toward the environment that the teachers display for their practice. Students stretch on bamboo flooring, their silhouettes dimly illuminated by low-lighting sconces, and solar blankets deter the sun. Reusable cups and cloth towels cut down on waste, and the Return Your Mat policy ensures that no mat purchased at the studio is thrown out or forced to work under wrestling Barbie dolls.
At Bodysport Fitness Center, highly trained instructors motivate pupils of all athletic abilities during high-intensity group boot-camp classes designed by experienced personal trainers. During each coed session, a barrage of full-body workouts replaces lazy fitness routines and helps build lean yet strong physiques. Each trainer adapts his or her program to fit the personalities and abilities of the students, and changes the regimen routinely to confuse muscles, enraging them until they get strong enough to do something about it.
Exercisers feed off each other?s energy during the fun 45-to-60-minute sessions, cultivating a group bond and camaraderie based on mutual success and encouragement. The recently revamped program may incorporate elements of kettlebells, free weights, kickboxing, and even yoga alongside classic boot-camp musts, including calesthenics, plyometrics, core workouts, and primal screaming. During comfortable weather, students work away excess calories in scenic outdoor parks and move into the gym?s 8,400-square-foot facility in cases of extreme heat.
The experienced instructors at Art Starts Here foster artistic abilities in a gamut of mediums, leading classes that teach new techniques and instill confidence in Picassos of all ages. Supervised kids' classes facilitate budding creative expression and help keep paint blobs out of mouths or Roth IRAs and on paper where they belong. Mommy & Me classes enhance bonds between art, tots, and parents, and a preschool art class helps kids grasp the basics of sculpture, drawing, or painting.
Adult and teen classes are more freeform than the classes for younger humans. Nascent Monets work at their own pace to master a variety of techniques, from acrylics to sculpture, drawing, oil painting, and professional-grade forgery. Art gurus proffer individual assistance and advice throughout each class, nudging technical ability higher, teaching new skills, and sparking inspiration in fertile minds. Sessions help students see unintended strokes not as mistakes, but as creative detours that lead to new avenues of thought or abstract impressionistic landscapes of Reno.
Unlike fashion trends, one-hit-wonders, and tattoos that say "I voted for Nixon," flat stomachs and well-defined muscles never go out of style. Fueled by Joseph Pilates's core-focused philosophy and signature workout regimen, the certified instructors at A Body in Balance Pilates Studio strive to keep abs and limbs toned, leading group classes, private sessions within a mirrored studio stocked with row after row of reformer machines and other equipment, and preparing new instructors for BASI Pilates certification. When not helping beginner- and advanced-level students increase their muscle definition and balance, the staff spends its time and money donating to national and local organizations such as Three Square, Positively Kids, Woman's Club of Summerlin and local schools.

(Best Syndication News) Doctor Mehmet C Oz provided solutions to common problems women face after they turn 40 years old. Women complain about aching knees, memory problems and a reduced metabolism.
"This show is very special," Oz told his audience Monday.
Aching Joints
Author and orthopedic physical therapist Peggy Brill provided a solution for throbbing knees. Inflammation can cause pain.
(Best Syndication News) - The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced new labeling requirements and testing standards for manufacturers of sunscreen that are sold over-the-counter. The final test requirements and product labeling will be in effect in one year.
The new regulation will limit the highest sunscreen rating to "SPF 50+." The FDA says that anything higher than 50, has not been proven to show anymore benefit than SPF 50 rating. The FDA suggests that consumers read both the front and back of the product label to determine the amount of protection, the sunscreen lotion or spray offers.
Products must pass testing for certain criteria in order to claim that it protects from the sun's rays. The manufacturers will have to follow new methods to test the sunscreen effectiveness as outlined by the FDA. The label will need to reflect the test results.
(Best Syndication News) - Doctor Oz gave a list of products that he said will help to make you look younger on yesterday's 'Dr. Oz' TV show. He said that he did not receive any money to recommending these products and said that each product has been clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging. Three of the four products on his hotlist were cosmetic wrinkle prevention routines and one would protect the skin against UV damage.
1. The Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System – For just one minute a day and 100 percent in the research saw improvements. The system costs around $185. The micro massager is applied to the crows feet around the eye along with a special serum.
(Best Syndication News) - On Tuesday's 'Dr. Oz' TV show, there was an investigation into bad Botox treatments using counterfeit medication. Allergan, Inc., the marketers of Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA), is safe when used by the appropriate medical professionals. However, Dr. Oz had shown that discussed how some doctors and others are selling and using counterfeit onabotulinumtoxinA that can lead to devastating results.
Dr. Oz explained that Botox treatments have become popular at home Botox parties, kiosks in malls, and even by mail order. He said that it is against the law to administer the toxin without having the proper medical license.
What made the 'Dr. Oz' show even scarier is that you have to be careful when going to a medical doctor to get Botox treatments. Medical doctors can gain certification within 24 hours to administer Botox treatments. The problem is they may not be specialized in dermatology or plastic surgery. This may lead to unwanted results. In addition, there are counterfeit Botox on the market that can end with serious complications.
(Best Syndication News) - Procter & Gamble announced a voluntary recall of ten color shades of their Clairol Natural Instincts products because the ColorFresh! Revitalizer sachet could cause an unexpected color result. The Revitalizer is used two weeks after the primary hair coloring is completed. The recalled hair dye products were shipped in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
The main components used to dye the hair the first time is not involved in the recall, only the two week Revitalizer is the problem. There was no safety problems with the hair coloring kits and it was only because of the color results of the Revitalizer that prompted P&G to initiate the recall.
The company has notified all retailers of the product to withdrawal the products from the shelves. Consumers that have one of shades of hair color dyes that are listed in the recall can still use the kit, but should not use the ColorFresh! Revitalizer sachet and should discard that portion of the kit. Everything else in the hair coloring kit is safe to use and will color the hair correctly.

I had only had cheap non-cyclists gloves before and these are a vast improvement. The wrist cover and palm padding are great for cycling. I also end up using these in other circumstnaces and they allow enough tactile sensation to handle keys, etc. I have commuted 4 miles to work in 0-20 degree F weather and these gloves do a good job of stopping the cold. They are not perfect and my hands do get cold, especially the forefinger, but this is the best solution I have found so far.

Cool weather gloves
By K-NASH
from SW Michigan
About Me Casual/ Recreational
The gloves are not all that thick but feel good on. Kept hands warm in low 40s mtb race but didn't work as well during a windy tailgate session. You will need warmer glvoes for cycling below 40. Fit is decent, maybe a little big. Padding didn't seem to make a huge impact while riding but not uncomfortable.

How cold is winter?
By pedal2go
from Washington, DC
Riding to work with temperature in mid 20's, my fingers go cold. Coming home in 40's they were fine. The back of the glove does not work well as nose wipe compared to other gloves I have.

glove review
By all season VT rider
from Nothern Vermont
Finally, a glove that fits (XXL) with decent room for glove liners. I would state this glove is good to 20-deg F without liners, and 10-deg F with liners. (now I can reserve my ski gloves for when it is single digits or below zero F). The wind intrusion through these gloves is minimal, I only sensed that when going full speed downhill when I was not wearing glove liners.These are not bulky, as easy to change gears and brake as with summer gloves.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sable, a Roaring Spring American Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Roaring Spring, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Roaring Spring.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Roaring Spring 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.

The Center for Applied Psychology provides consultation and technical assistance to institutions seeking guidance related to applied psychology topics including educational, health and organizational issues.
The faculty working with CAP will continue to establish relationships that are personal and professional with individuals, institutions, and organizations. Through maintaining close partnerships, CAP will assist in developing solutions tailored specifically to meet the needs of those whom it serves.
Selecting and training leadership for organizations is essential to the well-being of these organizations. Assessment centers have become increasingly popular as a tool for assisting in this process. Developing and Enhancing Leadership Through Assessment (DELTA) is a leadership developmental assessment center created by faculty and students at the University of West Florida. DELTA provides organizations the opportunity to assess current employees across several behaviorally-based dimensions linked to leadership (e.g., planning/organizing, oral communication, problem solving, interpersonal skills) by placing participants in simulated exercises (e.g., oral presentation, group discussion, role play). The assessments are used to provide participants with feedback on performance in these various dimensions. This feedback allows them to understand which behaviors they are proficient in and which behaviors have the most area for improvement. Because the dimensions measured by DELTA are developable, participants with the assessment center may tailor action plans to develop themselves and improve their ability to lead in their organizations.
Dr. Steve Kass and Dr. Steve Vodanovich (2010) consulted for a local manufacturing company. During this project, Dr. Kass and Dr. Vodanovich provided expertise in the areas of personnel selection and appraisal. Products included a behavior-based performance appraisal and selection test to be used by the company nationwide. Dr. Kass and Dr. Vodanovich worked with employees and management to develop competencies required for superior performance. These competencies were used as the base for the new performance appraisal. The selection test was developed to incorporate the knowledge required for applicants to be successful in their new position.
Dr. Steven Kass and Dr. Stephen Vodanovich (2010) consulted for a professional in personnel selection. During this project, Dr. Kass and Dr. Vodanovich provided expertise in personnel selection and validation of a selection method.
In collaboration with many of the graduate courses at the University of West Florida's School of Psychological and Behavioral Sciences, students have worked with several local organizations on faculty-guided consultation projects. Students delivered products to various types of organizations involving (among others) personnel selection and appraisal, training and development, and organizational change and development. The resulting relationship is a mutual exchange, as students are permitted a platform with which they may use their skills and gain valuable experience, and local organizations are provided specialized assistance (often free of charge). One such project conducted by student groups was the establishment and advancement of the Center for Applied Psychology's developmental assessment center. Faculty members are continuously searching for opportunities in which students can become involved.

Corneal Abrasion
A corneal abrasion is a scratch on the cornea. The cornea is the clear, front surface of the eye. It is located directly in front of the colored part of the eye.
The cornea has several layers that help protect the eye.
The Cornea
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Most corneal abrasions happen as a result of:
- Dust, dirt, sand, wood slivers, or metal shavings hitting the eye
- Vigorously rubbing the eye, especially when something is in it
- A fingernail, tree branch, or other object scratching the eye
- Wearing contact lenses , especially if the lenses are worn longer than directed or not cleaned properly
- Not protecting the eyes during surgery—the cornea can dry out if your eyes are not fully shut during surgery
- Certain eye disorders

The Village of LaGrange, Ohio
Welcome to LaGrange, Ohio By Mr. Gary Kincannon, President of LaGrange Village Council
LOCATION: Welcome to LaGrange, Ohio, a growing, rural community located in LaGrange Township in Lorain County. Just 10 miles south of Elyria, and about 35 miles southwest of Cleveland, Ohio, LaGrange has seen a growth spurt because of its proximity to Cleveland and Elyria and its location six miles south of the I-480 spur (U.S. Route 20). LaGrange is approximately 20 minutes from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, and 35 minutes from downtown Cleveland. Interstate 71 is located 20 minutes south (via State Route 301) or east (via State Route 303).
EDUCATION: LaGrange is home to the Keystone High School and Keystone Middle School Wildcats. The new Keystone High School opened in 2006 on Opportunity Way in LaGrange with the Middle School moving into the old high school on Liberty Street. This is an exciting time for the Keystone community. Visit their web page at www.keystonelocalschools.org. The "Friends of LaGrange Public Library" has worked diligently with the Elyria Public Library to open our library facility in the old "Vets Hall" building in Veterans Park. Long-range plans to construct a new, permanent structure are in the early stages but State budget constrictions will delay this project. Local Post Secondary opportunities include Lorain County Community College, which is 15 miles north of town, and Oberlin College, only 10 miles away.
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES: LaGrange has many economic incentives available within our commercial and industrial areas. Opportunity Way, the road to the new Keystone High School, travels through 40 acres of Transitional Use Zoning in the village. Three new businesses have purchased land in the Business Park and only a few lots remain. There is new commercial square footage available, Community Reinvestment Areas in the central business district, as well as incentives for the lots in Commerce Drive industrial park. Visit the "Community Improvement Corporation" page for more details. One of our tenants will be Community Healthcare Partners. Click here to view the CHP LaGrange information.
RECREATION: Opportunities abound with the development of a 90-acre community park underway and the Lorain County Metro parks nearby. A map of the new park is located here. 1800 feet of park road, the main parking lot, three shelters and five baseball/softball diamonds are complete. Also completed are two lakes and seven soccer fields. A soccer practice area was created and a storage building with restrooms has been constructed nearby. The new concession stand in the middle of the softball/baseball complex is doing a brisk business. Several miles of walking trails have also been completed to provide exercise for all age-groups. "Lions Park" will continue to serve the village as a recreation center along with the tennis and basketball courts in Veterans Park.
HOUSING: Housing ranges from "century homes" to new housing developments in all price categories. The latest development is "Durham Ridge" being constructed in conjunction with the "Grey Hawk" golf course. Lots are also available in the "Union Station" housing development and "LaGrange Junction" is in the planning stages at the end of Dill Court. Apartments, duplexes, condominiums and single family homes are all available throughout the Village.
INFRASTRUCTURE: The Village of LaGrange has completed the construction of a new, $2.3 million wastewater disposal plant. This brings the Village in line with Environmental Protection Agency guidelines and increases our capacity for future growth.
The village has also constructed a new water tower located between Factory Street and North Main Street, behind the Methodist Church and the new fire station. Click Here to View Old Tower Demolition. Environmental Protection Agency regulations pertaining to storage have now been met and water pressure has increased to desirable levels.
The Village has been on an aggressive schedule to resurface streets and replace old water lines simultaneously. Most of the older streets and water lines in town have been completed. Dill Court will be resurfaced in conjunction with the new development at the end of that street. Keywood, Commerce Drive West and the entrance of U.S. Grant Street are next in line for improvements.
SO WELCOME TO LAGRANGE, OHIO...Many challenges await us, but we will strive to retain the rural flavor of our community. After all "LaGrange" means "The Farm" in French. If you have any questions or suggestions for Village Officials, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I can't recommend Jess enough! I came to her with an invitation design in mind that was challenging, to say the least. She was up to the challenge, and more. She went above and beyond to make sure that our invitations were designed and printed exactly to my specifications — and, in the end, exceeded my expectations. I just loved working with her, too – she was always so positive, and as excited as I was about our project! Jess was also wonderfully sensitive to my budget, which I so appreciated. I can't recommend Jess enough, and I wish I had another project to work on with her!!

Health Care in Tioga County
Tioga County Partnership for Community Health (TCPCH)
For more than a decade the Tioga County Partnership for Community Health has offered a vision for healthy communities, a forum for collaboration of committed partners, grant resources for program implementation, and support for a range of programs designed to address the identified health and human service needs of all 41,373 Tioga County citizens.
In 1993, individuals from Laurel Health System, Mansfield University, and the Tioga County Human Services Agency began planning for a community health partnership that would define and address health needs in the community. The goal was to develop a countywide health plan that would demonstrate ways in which unrelated providers of service could work together to meet health and social service needs. The Pennsylvania Department of Health, the Tioga County Development Corporation, the Northcentral Pennsylvania Area Health Education Center and Wellsboro Family Practice quickly joined the effort and the Tioga County Partnership for Community Health was formed.
By 1995, the Partnership had been chosen, as one of only 25 sites from a diverse range of communities across the United States, to participate in the Kellogg National Community Care Network Demonstration Program. In 1997, the Partnership was awarded a Health Resources & Services Administration Rural Network Development grant in order to expand the efforts initiated during the Community Care Network project and to continue development of a countywide health plan. In the same year, the Partnership was selected to serve as one of seven pilot sites for the Pennsylvania Department of Health's State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP). SHIP explored how community partnerships and the Department of Health could collaborate to make a positive impact and develop creative solutions to local health problems.
In 1998, the Partnership formed a Board of Directors, an Executive Committee and a Finance Committee to oversee operations. A full time Executive Director and support staff was hired to coordinate activities, ensure representation from all potential members and organizations, and gather input from the communities being served. The Partnership was incorporated in October 2000 as a public non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and currently boasts membership of over 360 individuals and 25 organizations.
Partnership members meet monthly as representatives of 15 Work Groups, each of which addresses a specific health or quality of life issue. Work Group Chairs hold seats on the Board of Directors. The Board also consists of three at-large members elected from and by the full Partnership and one director from each full member organization and each founding member organization. One Tioga County Commissioner also sits on the Board of Directors. An Executive Committee is selected from the Board of Directors and reviews and guides the activities of the Executive Director and staff.
Examples of Partnership accomplishments using this collaborative approach range from a dental clinic for the underserved to an after school program for at-risk children, from programs that promote fitness and healthy eating to initiatives that improve the quality of care for the elderly and for persons with chronic diseases. The Partnership addressed the low immunization rates for children and in two years raised the rate from 45% to 89%. A hallmark of the Partnership's success has been the capacity to scientifically identify needs, find program models that have demonstrated effectiveness, seek resources to address needs or enable implementation of programs and to match appropriate partners with new or innovative opportunities.
