Home > Health News > Ford, Simpson, Lively and Rice Pediatrics Opens Green Building to Patients and Staff
Published on February 13, 2012
Winston-Salem, NC — When Ford, Simpson, Lively and Rice's Bonnie Barth, LPN, found her young patient trying to "swim" on the blue stream-shaped floor tiles leading into the exam room of the new pediatric office, she knew the whimsical ambience that includes flower-shaped lighting, large kite-like leaf hangings, and fluffy light blue clouds, was having the desired effect. "The feedback from our patients and their parents has been overwhelming," said Susan Kerby, manager of the busy Winston-Salem pediatric practice, "They tell us it feels more like an amazing outside play area than their doctor's office – and when they find out it is environmentally-friendly, they are even more excited."
Ford, Simpson, Lively and Rice opened their new office at 2933 Maplewood Avenue this week after building it in complete compliance with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. The new 10,171 square foot building, possibly the first green pediatric practice in the Southeast, was completed ahead of schedule by Advance-based Davie Construction. Many of the environmentally-conscious building details are not visible to the practice's young patients, but the whimsical interior design by LEED certified Barbour Spangle Design in High Point, with its natural themes including trees, flowers, clouds, and the signature stream inlaid into the flooring, make it clear from the moment of entry that this is not your typical pediatrics office.
"We wanted to create the healthiest environment possible, and to provide a feeling of warmth and cheerfulness while subtly communicating the special green aspects of the new building. Based upon the reactions we're hearing from our patients and their parents, Christi Barbour and Brianne Verstat did a wonderful job accomplishing that goal," said Dr. Robert Ford, who spearheaded the 9-month LEED project with his nine partners after they outgrew their 4,800 square foot office next door to the new location.
"I was a member of the Board of Directors of Goodwill Industries of Northwest North Carolina when Davie Construction built their new LEED Certified offices last year. I was impressed by the process and the outcome. And while the extra 3% to 5% cost was a consideration, the positive impact on the environment and long-term reductions in energy costs convinced us that it was the right way to proceed for the health of our patients, staff and the community," said Dr. Ford.
Ford, Simpson, Lively and Rice Pediatrics is a Cornerstone Health Care practice, and Dr. Ford credits the large multi-specialty physician practice's top management for supporting the project, both morally and financially. "Cornerstone is committed to investing in the future of health care delivery to the benefit of all our patients, employees, physicians and the communities we serve. When Dr. Ford and his partners asked us to help them construct a green building, we saw this as a tangible way to promote the health of each of these groups, now and in the future," said Grace E. Terrell, MD, President and CEO of Cornerstone.
Dr. Ford and his partners plan to hold an Open House featuring tours of the building for local business and civic leaders in March. "We hope that by showcasing the steps we took for compliance to LEED standards – using upholstery materials that are green, biodegradable or have recycled content, purchasing mostly from local manufacturers, using low emitting carpeting and low VOC paint, and specifying the most energy efficient systems – that we may inspire other Triad businesses to consider the many benefits of building green."

Anticipating the launch of a drone is similar to preparing to watch fireworks on the 4th of July. The unmanned rocket propelled target suddenly blasts skyward from the Rocket Assisted Take Off launcher with considerable force to be pursued and destroyed by fighters.
The jet fueled aerial target serves as a particularly valuable training tool for the F-15 pilots of the 104th Fighter Wing based at Barnes Air National Guard Base in Westfield, Mass. For the F-15 pilots from the 104th FW, never use live weapons in training at Barnes, this exercise allows them the opportunity to fire live air-to-air weapons in a simulated combat scenario.
"The drone is equipped with electronic warfare pods that act as jamming devices and it also has chaff and flaring capabilities," said Senior Airman Pat Naler, the subscale logistics manager of the launch site. "It is not a vulnerable target," said Naler, a native of Granite City, Ill.
The drones contain valuable apparatus that necessitate that the remnants of the structure be recovered in the gulf waters adjacent to the base. This task falls to a unique unit that is known as the "navy of the air force." Three Air Force vessels comprise the only marine unit in the Air Force. These missile retrievers are operated by Florida Offshore, a military contractor.
Staffed with a six man crew, these orange boats are often confused with Coast Guard vessels but are the sole property of the U.S. Air Force and are exclusively devoted to retrieving drones and other military assets. "We are out there every day and sometimes at night," said the owner of the company, John Anderson. "These guys are shooting down a lot of drones," added Anderson.
"It was three years of hard work culminating in one great moment," said Lt. Col. Alexander Haldopoulos, the Director of Operations for the 131st Fighter Squadron, located at Barnes Air National Guard Base in Westfield Mass, as he described the exhilaration of pulling the trigger, or as he refers to it as "pickling one off."

Pakistan will launch operation against the Taliban, Panetta claims
This is absolutely stunning. Yesterday, The Associated Press interviewed US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and during the interview, Panetta said that the Pakistani military is preparing to launch a military operation against the Taliban in North Waziristan. But not against the Haqqani Network, of course, as that would be a bridge too far. From the AP report:
Pakistan has told US military officials that it plans to launch combat operations against Taliban militants soon in a tribal area near the Afghan border that also serves as a haven for leaders of the al Qaeda-affiliated Haqqani network, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Monday.Speaking to The Associated Press in his Pentagon office, Panetta said Pakistan's military chief, Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, discussed the planned operation in recent conversations with the top American commander in Afghanistan, Gen John Allen.
The US long has been frustrated by Islamabad's refusal to target Afghan Taliban militants and their allies using Pakistani territory to stage attacks against US and coalition troops in Afghanistan.
Many analysts believe Pakistan is reluctant to target groups with which it has strong historical ties and could be useful allies in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw.
Panetta said he did not know when the Pakistani operation would start, but he said he understands it will be in the "near future," and that the main target will be the Pakistani Taliban, rather than the Haqqani network.
Panetta welcomed Kayani's initiative, even though the main target may not be the Haqqani leadership.
"They've talked about it for a long time. Frankly, I'd lost hope that they were going do anything about it. But it does appear that they in fact are going to take that step," said Panetta.
There are three reasons why this report is so shocking (and I mean that seriously, not in the Shocked! Shocked! sense).
1) Doesn't Panetta know that the Pakistani military said the other day that the North Waziristan operation is already underway? It isn't, of course, but....
2) Doesn't Panetta remember recent history? The Pakistani military actually has launched numerous military operations against the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan (TTP) in the tribal areas, as the al Qaeda-linked terror group has attacked the Pakistani state. He should remember this, as he was serving as head of the CIA back in the spring of 2009 when the military launched operations in Swat against the TTP and again in the fall of 2009 in South Waziristan. The Pakistani military has also launched operations against the TTP in Bajaur, Mohmand, Arakzai, and Khyber during Panetta's tenures as CIA chief and Secretary of Defense (the operations have been largely ineffectual, see this report on South Waziristan for an example, but that is a different story).
3) Panetta has now joined the long list of senior defense officials who have flacked, wittingly or unwittingly, for the Pakistani military's unwillingness to take on other militant groups besides the TTP, which is but one faction, by saying the Pakistanis are on the cusp of taking real action. Pakistan will not move against the so-called "good Taliban" (those who don't attack Pakistan) -- Mullah Nazir (based in South Waziristan), or Hafiz Gul Bahadar and the Haqqani Network (based in North Waziristan) -- even though these groups shelter, support, and train with al Qaeda and the TTP.
How many times has Pakistan promised to take action in North Waziristan, or claimed to take action there, only to make fools of top US defense officials? See Pakistan to launch another Potemkin offensive in North Waziristan for more details on that score.

Panetta, You lost hope they would do it because they are lying to you. That did not change. Your initial instincts are correct. They are still lying to your face. See recent history for reminder.
Posted by RJT at August 15, 2012 8:48 PM ET:
I think this goes well beyond the carrot and the stick thing. And I'm not going to paint Panetta as a fool from where I am sitting and from what we know, publicly. What does that do?

They are merely confirming our top defense officials are fools. Something I must confess I already knew.
Posted by Neonmeat at August 16, 2012 8:49 AM ET:
Well this way they can clear out any rivals the Haqqanis still have in the Tribal Belt. That way their favourite proxy mafia-militant group can have free reign to implement Pakistani Policy. Which seems mainly to be pissing of every Afghani and Member of ISAF on the otherside of the border and keeping them that way.
@Bill, point one had me in stitches.
Posted by villiger at August 16, 2012 12:45 PM ET:
I appreciate your sincerity and being stunned.
But Panetta is getting a "Tight Screw"--don't expect him to admit it.
(I had predicted in an earlier threat that the Paqis choice of name was a side jeer at the US.)
Come on a conservative Islamic Army choosing a name like Tight Screw? It doesn't stack up!
This charade is part of Paq's PSYOPS. Kayani's deep psychology is that of any contractor: do the minimum possible for the maximum money.
The US is looking for a game-changer while sitting at a stale-mated chess board. If you want 'more' play dominos, screw the chess.
Can any military person here hazard a guess as to how long would it take the US to occupy Balochistan?
Posted by Eric at August 17, 2012 9:17 AM ET:
When the major pAQi offensive in South Waziristan was underway, the militants simply relocated to adjacent tribal areas to avoid unfavorable contacts.
How is this one going to be any more successful than that one? If it was intended to have any effect on militant groups fighting or training abilities, it would never have been discussed publically.
Obvious - so why would Panetta play along with that? Looks almost childish, so what's really going on here?
I can only speculate, but if these moves were intentional, who would benefit, and in what way?
Rid the Haqqanis of their competition like Neonmeat says, or create justifications for some leadership changes.
Occupy Balochistan. Right question, isn't it?

Trace Adkins helps dedicate land to the Civil War Trust Thursday, April 5 – via Jackson Sun
This is kind of cool. Genealogy is a longtime hobby of mine and one of my more interesting ancestors was a Civil War drummer boy (well he was actually in his 20s, but drummer boy sounds better than drummer man) named Philo Case. Philo is my third great grandfather on my father's side and was a Union man. He was the "drummer that beat the long roll calling Union soldiers to action during the Confederateâs surprise attack that opened the Battle of Shiloh*." His drum is even still in existence today and as far as I know is still floating around the Case family somewhere.
Anyhoo, end of my familial history lesson for today.
Trace Adkins is a Civil War Trust board member and was on hand yesterday at Pickwick Landing State Park in Tennessee to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh, which is April 6th and 7th. The Civil War Trust has been raising money trying to buy Civil War land and battle fields and was recently able to purchase 267 acres of land where the final hours of the Battle of Shiloh was held. On Thursday, the tract of land was officially added to Shiloh National Military Park.
Trace stated at the event, âThese lands have been consecrated in blood, and itâs sacred land, just like the beaches of D-Day.
âIt is important to America to save this land, no matter what side their family fought on.â
Now that the Civil War Trust has added the 267 acres to their roster, the group is starting a new campaign to raise money to add another 491 acres to the Shiloh site. The purchase price is $1.25 million, although the trust only needs to raise $250,000 to officially make it theirs with the remaining money coming from federal grants.
If you would like to find out more info or help by donating, you can visit the Civil War Trust's website.

In 1993, when Homestead was struggling to recover from Hurricane Andrew, the city teamed up with H. Wayne Huizenga and Ralph Sanchez to build a world-class motorsports stadium. As with all other new development in South Miami-Dade, the deal hinged upon empty wetland, and the dirt, gravel, and crushed lime-rock needed to fill it. A crucial part of the racetrack deal, which also created the Park of Commerce, was a swap between the city and developer Florida Design Communities (FDC). The firm offered land for the Homestead Motorsports Complex and the Park of Commerce. In return the city would either pay FDC $1.4 million in cash or give the company an equivalent amount of fill by December 30, 1998. As the deadline approached, it was clear the city did not have the money to pay FDC.
Meanwhile FDC continued to develop its residential subdivisions in the city. In one of them FDC contracted with The Redland Co. to excavate a six-acre lake and use the extracted dirt for fill. In July the city ordered Redland to stop, arguing it was an illegal quarry. FDC promptly sued the city.
As 1998 drew to a close, FDC had the city over a couple of barrels: the six-acre lake lawsuit and the $1.4 million debt. The city needed to "shit or get off the pot, if you'll pardon my French," says councilman Steve Bateman.
Also, two more crucial deadlines were fast approaching. First, the city had promised a developer affordable fill as an enticement to develop the Park of Commerce, a 270-acre wedge of city-owned, industrially zoned land just west of the racetrack. Second, the city needed to provide an additional overflow parking lot for the upcoming Winston Cup Jiffy Lube 400 NASCAR race, scheduled for November 12-14 at the racetrack.
City Manager Baldwin says he and his staff figured out a plan that addressed all of those needs. The city owned four tracts of wetland south of the motorsports complex. Baldwin theorized that the city could change the zoning, use two tracts for overflow parking, and dig a lake in another to provide fill. That fill also could be used for the park and to pay off FDC.
The mayor, for one, loved the plan. "Unfortunately, we'd been dealt a significant financial burden [in the $1.4 million obligation to FDC], but I think [the 62-acre lake proposal] was the most efficient resolution that we could do," Shiver says. Baldwin calls the deal "a no-brainer."
As the City of Homestead proceeded to get state and county approval to dig the lake, South Miami-Dade's biggest provider of fill was looking over the city's shoulder. Steve Torcise, Jr., president of Florida Rock & Sand, scheduled a meeting with Baldwin in November of this past year. "He wanted to know what was happening relative to our lake," Baldwin remembers. "He came in to visit, and I explained the whole thing to him." Baldwin says he described the process to Torcise, noting that the last significant step, a blasting permit from the Miami-Dade County Commission, was set for the commission's December 15 agenda.
In retrospect, Baldwin allows, he wishes he'd kept his fool mouth shut about that commission meeting. There, into the wee hours of the morning, Florida Rock's lawyers lobbied long and hard to delay the issuing of the blasting permit. The landfill firm opposed the lake project because it could become a possible city-owned source of fill to compete with the firm's own quarry four miles south of Florida City.
Florida Rock succeeded; the commission deferred a final vote until January 21. That was beyond the December 30 deadline by which the city had to pay off FDC. If the city couldn't blast, the city couldn't give FDC the fill. They'd have to give FDC the $1.4 million in cash -- which Baldwin maintains was $1.4 million the city didn't have.
Then, as Baldwin tells it, a white knight appeared in the form of Charles Pinkney "Pinky" Munz, president of the Redland Co. that had been digging the small lake for FDC nearby (the excavation the city had stopped, prompting the FDC lawsuit). Thus, Munz was intimately familiar with the city's entanglements with FDC. He also has been a big supporter of Shiver's political career, contributing $2000 to Shiver's 1997 campaign through his corporations and family members. Baldwin remembers: "Pinky Munz came in to see me and said, 'How about if I put up the $1.4 million to FDC under an agreement with you all?'"
Sounded good to the city. After receiving an extension from FDC, the city council on January 19 voted to accept Munz's payment of their debt to FDC. In exchange Munz would be paid to excavate the lake and carry out the rest of the city's plan to provide fill for the Park of Commerce and the overflow parking for the racetrack. He'd also get to keep half of the fill.
On January 20 the city and FDC settled the small-lake lawsuit. This settlement clearly was connected to the big-lake deal. In a closed city council meeting on January 4 attorney Joseph Serota describes how he and Baldwin came up with a plan to "resolve both the [$1.4 million obligation to FDC], and by doing that, we would resolve the pending litigation." Under the terms of that settlement, Redland would be allowed to finish digging the six-acre lake. Suddenly, the small lake that the city had called a quarry was no longer a quarry -- and neither was the even bigger lake half a mile south.

Please read interview to learn how your family can benefit. Your family will thank you!
EmpowHer: Dr. Turkle, have we become too attached to technology?
Dr Turkle: In many ways, yes. We've become too attached when our relationship with technology takes us away from people. Technology is supposed to bring us together with people. And recently, we've become so attached to technology that really it's leaving us more isolated, paradoxically.
EmpowHer: What is the Foresters Tech Timeout challenge?
Dr. Turkle: Tech Timeout challenge is a challenge that says listen, for an hour a day a week, put your devices away and spend more time with your family, with your friends, with yourself to self reflect. See if you can become master of your technology rather than letting it be master of you.
EmpowHer: What are the possible effects of too much online/digital/mobile interaction on children?
Dr. Turkle: Well, actually the worst thing that can happen is children start to depend on technology for communication instead of having conversations. And it turns out that children use conversations with other people to learn how to have conversations with themselves and that skill of self reflection is the bedrock of child development. So that's tremendously important.
EmpowHer: How does technology lead to social isolation within families?
Dr. Turkle: Well, you can see it at a dinner table. Parents, kids, all at a dinner table, all on their own devices. Parents are doing their email, kids are texting. I call it being alone together. Dinner table is hen parents need to be talking with kids. Kids need to be talking with parents and they're not. They're on their devices. In the car, that's prime time for kids and parents to be talking and they're not. Kids are texting in the back of the car, parents are doing their email in the front, hopefully not the driver, but sometimes! In the playground, parents are texting instead of watching their children. Playground accidents are up. We're really putting more attention on our devices than we are often in our relationships with others and that's a very bad thing.
EmpowHer: What are the benefits of taking a break from technology and how can it affect family well-being?
Dr. Turkle: Well, first of all you realize when you take a break, how much technology has interfered with the basics, with just touching base with your family, with just knowing what's going on. The first benefit is you realize is "my goodness, I've been out of touch!" and the second benefit is you begin to use that time for conversation and conversation within your family is really the glue that holds your family together and you begin to see that when you take the time to have those conversations and you begin to say "how can we as a family make better decisions about how we're going to use technology in our family." So many families can use the timeout for example to make a decision not to have technology in the kitchen, that that's a sacred space, a technology free zone, or the dining room is a technology free zone - a zone for conversation, the car a technology free zone. So I suggest using the timeout as a kind of place to make family rules for how again, not how to get rid of technology but to use it for your families benefit.
Hi Daphne
Thanks for such a great interview and SHARE.
I agree that technology has really interfered with family time and it has also affected us but we made some changes and those changes are working.
Our kids are off for a four day holiday weekend so this morning we played monopoly at the kitchen table and it was a fun time with nobody glued to anything remotely technological! We all had lunch right after and now they are playing outside as I work. We're not this Brady Bunch all the time but making it a priority is becoming more and more important to us as we see our children growing up far too quickly!

Historian, Christopher Pipe, pictured with the rare watercolour painting of Cromer that he bought at a German auction house. PHOTO: ANTONY KELLY
Picture: ANTONY KELLY
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
A painting of 19th-century Cromer has turned up at an auction in Germany - and sparked a debate about who was the artist.
The watercolour of Cromer Church from The Narrows in about 1840 was spotted online and snapped up by Cromer author and historian Christopher Pipe.
Mr Pipe recognised it as a watercolour version of an oil painting by Norwich School artist Henry Ninham, which was used for the front cover of his 2010 book A Dictionary of Cromer and Overstrand History.
Ninham often did multiple versions of his pictures, but experts are divided, with some not convinced the watercolour is his work.
The painting also uses a degree of artistic licence, not uncommon in work by Ninham. Mr Pipe said some of the details were "of dubious historical authenticity", including the unlikely presence of a building in dressed stone and some building behind a high wall in the churchyard.
Mr Pipe, who is selling the painting at Watermark, 1, Church Street, for £2,250, said: "The auction house did not spot the Ninham connection. Whether it is a Ninham, or partly Ninham, it's certainly very similar.
"Goodness knows how it ended up in Germany, but I'm pleased that I spotted it. I wonder if he made sketches in Cromer, but did not have enough detail when he worked them up."

If you are a household worker--for example, a cleaning person, cook, gardener, or baby sitter--and you earn $1,900 or more in cash wages during 2014 or 2015 from one employer, that employer must deduct Social Security and Medicare taxes from your wages. The employer will report your earnings to Social Security after the end of the year.
If you earn less than $1,900 in 2014 or 2015 from that employer, the earnings are not covered and will not be reported.
Earnings for household workers (such as baby sitters) who are under age 18 are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes unless household work is the young person's primary occupation.

One of the best parts of any river day is coming back to the Big Top and watching rafting videos. Once you start rafting, watching rafting clips becomes addictive. With TV being a novelty for guides, highlight reels will attract more of a crowd than the first weekend of March Madness.
Besides great hits, thrills and spills, the songs the video boaters use on their masterpieces add to the amazing atmosphere. Sadly, copyright laws allow ACE to only use certain songs in their videos, but I've always wanted to create a no-holds-barred soundtrack for the river.
Here's my ideal playlist for the Lower New River video:
Put-in: Black Eyed Peas, "I Gotta Feeling"
What better way to pump anybody up for a day on awesome whitewater?
Upper Railroad: Steppenwolf, "Magic Carpet Ride"
Perfect song for the first rapid on a crazy, day-long experience.
Surfing anywhere: Flo Rida, "Right Round"
This pop/rap song fits well with the spins, flips and fun we all love when we surf at Lower Railroad, Greyhound and Bloody Nose. Bloody Nose at 8,000 CFS (cubic feet per second) will lock you in, spin you around and make amazing video.
Keeneys: Bush, "Machinehead"
The Keeneys during high-water season in the spring is one of the biggest and gnarliest rapids I've ever seen. If you can't make the left eddy at Middle Keeney, your only choice is to run Lower Keeney. This rock song is perfect, as the opening lines are "Breathe in/ Breathe Out/ Breath in, Breath in, Breath in."
Jump Rock: Tom Petty, "Free Fallin' "
Enough said if you've ever done Jump Rock.
Double Z: Dave Matthews Band, "Two Step"
Like a normal Two Step dance, Double Z has lots of moves and some good finesse. Besides, it's a rule that you have to have a Dave Matthews song somewhere in the soundtrack!
Miller's Folley: Theme to Indiana Jones
Miller's Folley is the longest rapid on the river, over an 1/8th of a mile long. It's so much fun, with the Colgate and Dentyne waves at the top and the Bloody Nose hit at the bottom.
Fayette Station: Love Seed Momma Jump's version of "Country Roads"
This is not your momma's John Denver song. It's a frenetic pumped-up rock version of the classic West Virginia theme. Every time I drive into West Virginia, I roll down my windows, crank up the volume and sing along – at least three times in a row. Another rule? This song must be on your playlist if you're road tripping to our fair state.
Take-out: Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life"
It's true! One trip down the Lower New, and you'll be hooked on the thrills and exhilaration whitewater can give you.
Muchas gracias to Chelsea Bricker in the reservations office. She helped me narrow down my choices. Now you've seen my perfect playlist. What's your favorite song/rapid combo?

Future United States President John Adams arrives in Paris, France, on this day in 1778 to replace former Continental Congress member Silas Deane as a member of the American commission representing the interests of the United States.
Deane had been recalled to America by Congress after fellow diplomat Arthur Lee accused him of misappropriating French funds. Whereas Deane was born and raised in Connecticut and educated at Yale, Arthur Lee was a Virginian following the educational and career path of the British elite when revolutionary politics intervened. The lesser-known brother of Francis Lightfoot Lee and Richard Henry Lee, he left the colonies to enroll at the aristocratic boarding school Eton College in England. He then pursued medical studies at the prestigious University of Edinburgh in Scotland, receiving his degree in 1765. In 1766, Lee went to London and began legal studies at the equally renowned Temple Bar until 1770, when he began a legal practice in London at which he worked until the outbreak of revolution in 1776, when he was named, along with Benjamin Franklin and Silas Deane, as an American commissioner to France.
Lee never got along with his two colleagues and instigated Deane's recall by accusing him of financial mismanagement and corruption. Deane's replacement, John Adams, was also a New Englander (although from Massachusetts and Harvard) and defended Deane. Nonetheless, Deane was unable to clear his name and was forced to live his life in exile until his death in 1789.
In 1842, Congress reopened the investigation into Deane's accounts and, finding no evidence of misconduct, ordered his heirs be paid $37,000 in reparations.

where apparently this band thinks that its cool to base their entire music video on the paparatzi ((butchered that word)) bugging the hell out of britney spears.
one word for ya
((i'll spell it out))
its just about the most pathetic attempt at showing the world
your mature "emo" music.

Krispy Kreme Announces New Tamarac Location, Celebrates With Cruiser, Free Doughnuts
Categories: Free Food
Krispy Kreme |
The Krispy Kreme Cruiser is in town. Free doughnuts for all. |
In honor of the occasion, Krispy Kreme has announced plans to open a new doughnut shop at Sunshine Plaza in Tamarac (4299 W. Commercial Blvd). Though the store (which will turn out doughnuts fresh from the oven, glaze still liquid and gooey), won't be open for a few months, stop by anyway, because from July 5 to 7, the Krispy Kreme Cruiser will be there from 3 to 8 p.m. each day, giving out doughnuts, coffee, and prizes.
Krispy Kreme |
Take a look inside the cruiser for some cool Krispy Kreme memorabilia. |
The cruiser's Broward stop is one of 500 in a 175-day campaign covering 37 states, which will bring doughnuts and fun to just about every Krispy Kreme store in America.
Be sure to mark July 13 on your calendar, the doughnut chain's actual birthday, because on that day you'll get a second dozen doughnuts for 75 cents when you purchase any dozen at a Krispy Kreme shop. That's one sweet deal.

The military/aerospace (mil/aero) industry is obsessed with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) this month. The FAA is occupied with the safe integration of UAVs in public airspace. The Pentagon is buzzing about the first recorded attack on a military drone in the airspace over the Persian Gulf. The public is growing more concerned and vocal about UAVs as they relate to privacy.
Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are much more affordable than in years past; they continue to become ever more compact and inexpensive. As a result, homeland security and law enforcement agencies are opting to add a UAV to their arsenals, in lieu of and for roughly the same cost as a new patrol car.
A large segment of the population has been, and continues to be, very vocal on the topic of unmanned vehicles in the public airspace, especially as it relates to privacy.
A majority of public sentiments echo those of Oakland resident Mary Madden: "I do not want flying spy robots looking into my private property with infrared cameras. It's an invasion of my privacy." Madden's comments, as quoted in Aviation Week, come in reaction to an Alameda County sheriff's application for a federal grant with which to buy a UAV.
A growing number of law-enforcement agencies are applying for and receiving grants from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to purchase unmanned police aircraft. Police, sheriff, and fire & rescue professionals seem to favor vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) UAVs, such as the DraganFlyer X6 and AeroVironment's Qube.
This geek is undecided on whether UAVs should be used as "flying spy robots." However, it is a testament to the state of the technology that they are affordable enough that a police department can afford to purchase aircraft such as UAVs and VTOLs to bolster the pool of resources at their disposal to fight crime.

For those returning coaches, we have some changes to announce. We had over 400 MN teams last year and we are on track to hit 10% growth this year, so we are adapting...
1. There will be NO divisions this year. We are the only State that had separate age groups and eliminating this will simplify many processes.
2. We are excited to offer a new tournament choice geared for rookie or late-starting teams. GO FIRST! will be sponsoring a MN Regional Tournament at the University of Minnesota in late February. As this is after our MN State Championship, this regional is for teams not interested in advancing onto State and those who want a longer, more relaxed build season. You may NOT participate in a Qualifying Tournament in addition to this tournament, your team must pick ONE.
3. We will NOT be requiring teams to create a Core Values Poster and we will NOT be requiring teams to bring a design statement. Some regional partners are doing this, we in Minnesota are NOT!

MARC EMERY, 47, of Vancouver, B.C. was arrested by the RCMP and Halifax Police Department today on a warrant from the Western District of Washington. EMERY was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury in Seattle on May 26, 2005, after an 18 month investigation into the millions of dollars worth of marijuana seeds EMERY sold in person, over the internet and by mail. EMERY and co-defendants GREGORY KEITH WILLIAMS, 50, of Vancouver, B.C. and MICHELLE RAINEY-FENKAREK, 34, of Vancouver, B.C. are charged with Conspiracy to Distribute Marijuana, Conspiracy to Distribute Marijuana Seeds, and Conspiracy to Engage in Money Laundering. The charges carry penalties of 10 years to life in prison.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington has filed an extradition request with Canada asking that all three defendants be brought to Seattle to stand trial. MARC EMERY has operated Marc Emery Direct since 1994, taking orders for marijuana seeds over the internet. According to his web site, EMERY has made more than $3 million annually, selling marijuana seeds. EMERY claims to stock the largest supply of marijuana seeds in the world and is considered the largest distributor of marijuana seeds. According to court filings, Emery seeds are associated with multiple illegal grow operations across the U.S. The Drug Enforcement Administration has traced Emery seeds to illegal grows in Indiana, Florida, California, Tennessee, Montana, Virginia, Michigan, New Jersey and North Dakota. An estimated 75% of the seeds EMERY sells are transported to the United States.
In addition to selling marijuana seeds, Marc Emery Direct provides customers with detailed written instruction on how to grow the seeds into marijuana plants. EMERY's business also sells equipment used to grow the seeds into marijuana, including specialized lights, fans and fertilizer.
EMERY has served time in Canada for illegally selling marijuana seeds. United States authorities want to stop the flow of seeds to grow operations.
"We are not going to turn a blind eye to Marc Emery's illegal multi-million dollar sales of marijuana seeds," said U.S. Attorney John McKay. "The grows that sprout from those seeds are often protected by armed criminals or rigged with lethal booby-traps. They do significant environmental damage, and fuel the organized crime and drug trade that destroys lives."
"The tentacles of the Mark Emery criminal enterprise reached out across North America to include all 50 United States and Canada," said Special Agent in Charge Rodney G. Benson of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). "Mr. Emery utilized the internet to sell his marijuana seeds throughout this country to customers no matter their age. He directed his business with efficiency, was motivated by greed, and will now be prosecuted for this illegal activity."
EMERY is a well known figure in Canada as publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine, and as a leader of the BC Marijuana Party. The charges filed today are not related to those activities but are the result of an extensive undercover investigation. EMERY sold large amounts of seeds both by mail and in person to undercover DEA agents.
An indictment contains allegations that have not yet been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
The case is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), United States Postal Inspection Service and the Vancouver Police Department (VPD). Assistant United States Attorney Todd Greenberg is prosecuting the case.
For additional information please contact Emily Langlie, Public Affairs Officer for the United States Attorney's Office, Western District of Washington at (206) 553-4110.

The human skeleton is affected by mutations in low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5). To understand how LRP5 influences bone properties, we generated mice with osteocyte-specific expression of inducible Lrp5 mutations that cause high and low bone mass phenotypes in humans. We found that bone properties in these mice were comparable to bone properties in mice with inherited mutations. We also induced an Lrp5 mutation in cells that form the appendicular skeleton but not in cells that form the axial skeleton; we observed that bone properties were altered in the limb but not in the spine. These data indicate that Lrp5 signaling functions locally, and they suggest that increasing LRP5 signaling in mature bone cells may be a strategy for treating human disorders associated with low bone mass, such as osteoporosis.

I used the web interface to fix two bad location with the NYC Attractions POI. First the World Financial District was way up in Midtown, so I picked a lat/long near the the WTC. Also the Sony Wonderland had the correct address 550 Madison, but the lat,long had it around 50 Madison so I fix that one also. GREAT WEB INTERFACE!
So how long until all POIs can be updated this way? Is it just a matter of getting all the current data in the new database format? If so it should not be too difficult to write some simple perl scripts to parse out most of the POI data.

Ellis County 2nd for low unemployment

If Sheridan County slips any lower, it soon will no longer be in the top 10 as far as sporting low unemployment rates.
In March, Sheridan County had slipped into seventh place in the state.
Surprisingly, Ellis County's already low unemployment rate dropped even lower in March, putting it in second place for the lowest rate in the state, a distinction it shares with Logan County.
Greeley County, with just 22 people looking for work, continued as the state's leader, even though its rate climbed slightly.
Unemployment in the 20 counties that make up northwest Kansas dropped in March to 3.29 percent.
The seasonally adjusted Kansas unemployment rate in March stood at 4.9 percent, according to the Kansas Department of Labor. That's unchanged from February, but still down from 5.5 percent a year earlier.
That's despite an increase in the number of jobs added to the state's economy between February and March. In the past month, KDOL reported, Kansas gained 8,100 private sector jobs and 10,100 nonfarm jobs.
As a result, the not-seasonally adjusted unemployment rates stood at 5.1 percent, down from 5.5 percent in February. That's only marginally lower than the 5.8 percent in March 2013.
KDOL reported Kansas gained 15,200 private sector jobs and 16,800 nonfarm jobs in the past year.
"Multiple indicators suggest the labor market is gaining strength," said senior KDOL labor economist Tyler Tenbrink. "This month, Kansas added to the number of jobs gained since this time last year and recorded increases in average weekly hours worked as well as average hourly earnings in the private sector. Improvement in these areas suggest employers are responding to increased demand for goods and services."
Seasonally adjusted job gains were slightly higher.
"The Kansas economy continues its drive of private sector job growth and low unemployment," said KDOL Secretary Lana Gordon. "This month, the state surpassed 50,000 private sector jobs added since January 2011. This report demonstrates confidence in the labor market that Kansans are ready to work and are able to find jobs."
There were 9,669 initial claims for unemployment benefits in March 2014, down from 11,121 initial claims in February and down from 15,067 last year.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The neutrality of this article is disputed. (November 2011) |
Stephen Lerner (born January 29, 1958) is a labor and community organizer who has spent more than three decades organizing hundreds of thousands of janitors, farm workers, garment workers, and other low-wage workers into unions, resulting in increased wages, first-time health benefits, paid sick days, and other improvements.
Lerner is a critic of Wall Street bankers and the increased financialization of the US economy.[1] He argues that the power of investments banks and other financial entities have led to income inequality and served as the driving force behind the creation of overwhelming debt obligations seen at the state and local level.[2]
The result, Lerner says, is a consolidation of economic and political power in the hands of a small number of banking and finance executives. Lerner advocates the use of non-violent civil disobedience as a tactic to challenge the influence of Wall Street and corporations.[3]
Lerner is a contributor on national television and radio programs and has published articles charting a path for a 21st-century labor movement focused on growth and meeting the challenges of a global economy.
Stephen Lerner is the son of a secretary and a psychiatrist and the grandson of Jewish immigrants who fled anti-Semitism and the pogroms of Russian and Poland in the early 20th century. Lerner's grandfather began his career in America as a waiter in New York and later became a restaurant owner in Miami.
Lerner's father was able to afford college through his service in the ROTC program and Lerner spent part of his childhood living on a military base in Germany while his father served his country in uniform.
After high school, Lerner became an organizer with the United Farm Workers of America and worked on the grape and lettuce boycotts in New York.
Following his time with the Farm Workers, Lerner worked in the housekeeping departments of Long Island Jewish Medical Center and other healthcare facilities and became an organizer for the healthcare union 1199 in Rhode Island.
Lerner was fired for organizing a union while working as an extrusion machine operator for the jewelry industry. His wife was pregnant with his first child at the time. Following that, Lerner moved to North Carolina to become an organizer for the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) and he organized workers throughout the south.
Lerner organized high-tech manufacturing workers and public employees in Ohio with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) before joining the staff of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) in 1986.
At SEIU, Lerner is credited with creating the Justice for Janitors campaign, a movement by janitors across the country to organize for better wages and working conditions, access to affordable healthcare, and full-time hours and sick time. Justice for Janitors improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of janitors and their families across the country.
Lerner also directed the union's private equity project, a multi-year campaign to expose the business practices of private equity firms in the lead up to the 2008 economic collapse.
Following the 2008 financial crisis, Lerner became director of the union's banking and finance project, organizing SEIU members and other community groups across the country into action to challenge the business practices of Wall Street and the big banks. Through this campaign SEIU also partnered with unions and groups in Europe, South America, and elsewhere to build a campaign to hold financial institutions accountable.
He currently serves on the International Executive Board of the 2.2 million member Service Employees International Union.
Lerner has three sons and lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Marilyn.

Leona Lewis will return to perform at The X Factor Grand Final on Sunday night.
The singer, who found worldwide fame after winning the contest in 2006, will perform live at the event in Wembley.
Leona told The Sun that she wants Liverpudlian singer Marcus Collins to win this year's contest.
She is quoted as saying: "I'm really looking forward to this weekend -- I'm rooting for Marcus.
"I love his voice and he's versatile.
"He puts 100 per cent into the big singing and dancing numbers but I saw one stripped-down performance of him just singing with the piano and it was really emotional. He can do it all."
She added: "Amelia Lily is good -- I like her, and love her hair. Her song choices are cool as well. She tends to go a bit left-field with them.
"It must have been quite difficult for her to come back to the show so far down the line but hopefully that means she's got the least to lose.
"Little Mix are good as well -- the girls are sweet and I don't think they're a conventional girl group.
"They're diverse and remind me of Sugababes when they first came out -- they feel very fresh."
