Sue Scoggins' ostrich is a prayer.
A prayer of healing. A prayer for laughter. A prayer to forget about your troubles even for a second.
The Emerald Isle painter is just one of many artists donating her time and resources to an organization called Healing Ceilings, which recruits artists to paint ceiling tiles which are then installed in adult cancer treatment centers.
"It's kind of like a ministry for me," Scoggins said of her art.
Scoggins likes to "paint happy," with boisterous, Technicolor characters such as ostriches and puppies, flowers and landscapes in vibrant hues.
"Honestly … this is going to be a way for me to pray for whoever looks at this tile," she said as she painted a rambunctious-looking ostrich on a tile. "And my prayer is that it will give them a little bit of happiness and joy, because I understand the stress of being in a life-threatening illness."
Scoggins' husband Jerry currently lives in a nursing home where he is battling Alzheimer's. She said because of her experience with the disease, she empathizes with the cancer patients for whom she paints the tiles.
"If these things can make people laugh and smile and forget their illness even if just for a second or two then that's a good thing," said Scoggins who believes laughter truly is the best medicine.
Healing Ceilings Founder and President Amy Jo Edwards has a similar attitude.
"My philosophy is when the going gets tough, the tough gets silly," she said.
Edwards recently started the non-profit as a way of trying to break up the monotony and dread of oncology treatments for people battling cancer.
Edwards was inspired by both her husband, an artist who went through his second time battling cancer this spring, and a friend who had painted the ceiling tiles in her own hospital room when she was ill.
As her husband went in for treatment, Edwards brought in super hero stickers and donuts to others receiving treatments, and got her husband Hawaiian t-shirts to wear.
"(It's) brutal just looking left and right and everyone's fighting for their lives," she said.
After researching the science of art and its healing effects, Edwards said the evidence showed art can calm patients, lower their heart rates, and require them to need less pain medication.
Edwards focuses strictly on adult cancer treatment because she said that's where her heart is. Right now, tiles go up in treatment and exam rooms, but one day she wants to have them in inpatient rooms as well.
"I will not stop until every room in every cancer treatment center in the state has a healing ceiling," she said.
Her ultimate dream is for Healing Ceilings to spread across the United States.
Healing Ceilings is incorporated as a non-profit in North Carolina, and Edwards is in the process of filing as a 501(c)(3) with the federal government.
Edwards said many artists she knows through her husband, who is now cancer free, have told her, 'I can't fix cancer, but I'm a great artist.'
Edwards currently has more than 100 artists who have helped paint or are painting more than 400 ceiling tiles — what she calls love medicine — since June, and more than 200 have been installed in oncology centers across the state.
Edwards even has artists out-of-state in Tennessee and Florida helping with the cause.
However, she said her largest concentrations of artists are in Raleigh and the Crystal Coast.
"The Crystal Coast has been amazing, a hotbed of artists here," Edwards said.
Edwards recruited two groups of artists in the area this summer to begin painting for Healing Ceilings.
Ann Boyer LePere, a portrait artist who lives in Peletier, said her group received its first box of tiles in August, and she handed them out to artists mainly from her church at Cape Carteret Baptist Church.
LePere, who has taken up the organizing efforts around west Carteret County, said she originally had eight artists participating and shortly after had a waiting list of people who wanted to participate.
LePere said artists are required to use acrylic paints because they are non-toxic, does not put off fumes, dries quickly, and has vibrant colors. The specific tiles are also hospital-approved.
For LePere, she said participating in the project is a "real labor of love," because she too has been touched by cancer — her mother died at the age of 38 from breast cancer.
"So it's very personal," LePere said. "I'm thrilled to be a part of it."
She said most of her group's images have focused on nautical themes. She herself painted clothes hanging on a clothesline and another with a NASCAR theme to appeal to male patients.
"There are no limits," she said, as long as they are positive and cheerful.
The Western Carteret group now has 11 artists participating, and they come from varied backgrounds, according to LePere — one is an active duty Marine, another is a retired elementary school art teacher and she is a portrait painter. Scoggins is a part of LePere's group.
Two new boxes of tiles — with 16 tiles in a box — were delivered in November as a donation from the Seaside Arts Council out of Swansboro.
Kathy Kelly, co-president of the Seaside Arts Council, and Debbie Peel, the council's secretary, both paint with LePere's group.
"Debbie and I both had the most wonderful experience painting a tile for such a worthy cause that I suggested to Debbie that we ask the Seaside Arts Council to donate a box of tiles as Ann told me they were having trouble getting more tiles," Kelly said, adding that the board ended up voting unanimously to donate two boxes rather than one.
Kelly said the artists feel honored to be able to bring peace and smiles to chemo patients.
"Healing comes from the arts," she said.
LePere said the BluSail Gallery & Framing, Artists' School & Pottery Studio in Morehead City is also organizing another group of artists for the cause.
Lynn Golitz, who owns BluSail Gallery with her husband Mark, said they got started helping Healing Ceilings this summer around July when Edwards approached them.
"We paint everything from eclectic to beach scenes, but most specifically happy things because these folks when they're getting treatments they're lying flat on their backs looking up at a blank ceiling," Golitz said. "It was an opportunity for us to give them something happy and hopeful."
Golitz said she has approximately six artists helping her paint tiles — artists who show and teach at the gallery — as well as students from her classes, including children.
"I wanted the kids to learn at an early age how their art can affect people," Golitz said. That is why she had them paint individual tiles as well as group tiles.
Golitz said one particularly moving moment was when one of her 8-year-old students asked if her tile could be placed in the hospital where her grandfather was receiving his chemotherapy treatments.
Golitz said they have now painted approximately 50 tiles, and she "absolutely" plans to keep on going.
"I'm a huge proponent of art therapy," she said, noting that she has seen the health benefits of art.
Edwards said the work the artists are doing in the area has humbled her.
"The artists of the Crystal Coast have been just on fire painting for Healing Ceilings," she said.

The buzz around the Havelock High football stadium had little to do with the Rams' dominating 41-7 victory over South Central.
Instead, family, friends, well-wishers and many others in the stadium had the chance to see and talk with an NFL football player, Bruce Carter.
The former Havelock High standout attended Friday's football game as his pro team — the Dallas Cowboys — enjoyed a bye week.
"It feels good. I haven't been here in a while. It's like a homecoming," Carter said of his four-day visit home. "Seeing the whole football atmosphere at high school, it's been great."
At the end of Friday's game, Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant introduced Carter to his players and thanked him for a $10,000 donation that went toward renovation of the school's weight room.
Carter told the players to keep pushing each other and keep playing together as a team.
"They're great," Carter said of the current 7-1 Rams. "They put up a lot of points and they play together, and their defense plays well. They look like a solid team."
Carter, at 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, has started all four games for the Cowboys this year at linebacker. He's made 22 tackles, which is second on the team.
He is in his second professional year, but spent most of last season recovering from a knee injury he sustained at the end of his senior season in 2010 playing for the North Carolina Tar Heels.
"Last year, I just did a lot of watching," Carter said. "This year is just the opposite. I'm active and I'm playing, so that feels great."
Despite the injury, the Cowboys thought enough of Carter to draft him in the second round, 40th overall, in the 2011 draft.
Now he's part of a team that is 2-2 and in the middle of a tight race in the NFC East.
"Everybody's kind of the same," Carter said. "It's early in the season, so it's kind of hard to say what's going to happen. There's a lot of great teams out there."
And Carter said he and his teammates are putting in the effort to be one of those great teams.
"We're just working and taking it one day at a time," said Carter, whose Cowboys play at Baltimore on Sunday. "Trying to win games in the NFL, it's hard, so we're working hard."

The years 2012-2015 mark the bicentennial of the War of 1812. The war, and the five-day occupation of Alexandria by British forces in 1814, had a profound effect on the town and its economy.
While war was declared in 1812, it was not until 1814 that it reached Alexandria's shores. On August 29 Alexandrians awoke to find 138 guns of the British squadron "but a few hundred yards from the wharves, and the houses so situated at they might have been laid in ashes in a few minutes," as described by the residents. The British promised not to destroy the town if the citizens surrendered all naval stores, shipping, and merchandise being exported. Alexandria agreed, under much scrutiny by the nation. However, it was thanks to the actions on both sides that the "Old Town" of today is still preserved. The City of Alexandria and community partners are commemorating Alexandria's role in the war through lectures, concerts, and specialty tours, culminating in the Signature Weekend Event.
The Festival marks the conclusion of the War of 1812 Commemoration. Mark your calendars Labor Day weekend for cricket, a wreath-laying ceremony, tug of war, boat tours, and more! During the weekend, three special events will take place as part of the British Challenge -- members of the British Embassy taking on Alexandria in some friendly modern-day competition. Download the flyer for the full weekend schedule of events.
We are proud to announce that Team Alexandria was the winner in all three challenges: Cricket Match, Yacht Race, and Tug of War.

Toulon are adamant that Bakkies Botha will play for the French club this weekend and not for the Springboks.
With a suspension to Eben Etzebeth looming, Botha was placed on standby by Bok coach Heyneke Meyer on Monday. It was hoped that Botha would join the Boks in New Zealand in the event that Etzebeth was banned for a headbutt on Nathan Sharpe.
Etzebeth has since been banned for two weeks, but the Boks will need to replace the Stormers lock with somebody other than Botha.
Botha's club, Toulon, has decided to block the big lock's return to international rugby. Toulon coach Bernard Laporte was quoted in French newspaper L'Equipe saying Botha would play for the club against Montpellier this Friday.
The Boks will have to make do without Botha's services, and it now seems likely that Flip van der Merwe will join his Bulls team-mate Juandre Kruger in the second row.

Ever wondered why certain songs become immediate favorites while others are slow burners that creep into your consciousness and slowly take root?
"Good Enough" is a great example of the latter. The last cut on Mojo, the song is an epic blues rocker that's driven by Mike Campbell's searing guitar playing and features some of the best lyrics Tom's written on Mojo.
You're barefoot in the grass/ And you're chewin' sugarcane/ You got a little buzz on/ You're kissin' in the rain/ And if a day like this/ Don't ever come again/ Well that's good enough
"Good Enough" has always been good enough, but tonight in Kansas City, the band treated the excited Sprint Center to an absolutely explosive version that is certain to be the benchmark for this tour. From note one, "Cherry," Mike's "59 Gibson Les Paul Reissue, was at the forefront, spitting solo after sinister solo over Ron and Steve's solid rhythm and Benmont's Hammond B3 organ swells.
We're off and running on this second leg of the Mojo tour! Come out and see us soon and check back for more photos, videos and recaps from the tour!

Freezing temperatures forced the postponement of the Six Nations Test between France and Ireland.
The pitch froze and the referee Dave Pearson deemed conditions unsafe for play, much to the frustration of a 80 000-strong crowd. Pearson's initial assessment 90 minutes before kick-off was that it was ready for play. However, the temperature dropped quickly and the pitch was rock hard as the teams waited to exit the tunnel.
'The referee had to take the decision and it was tough for one man to do it,' Ireland coach Declan Kidney told the BBC. 'In fairness it was the right decision. The players were pumped up but it will be a new experience for them.
'The game will be rearranged – next week might be a bit tight, but it's up to the Six Nations to decide. They are on the phone now. We will have to talk about it. I wouldn't like to guess.'

We're talking about horsepower of course- Ford GTs, Vipers, Corvettes, Jeeps, Dodges, the list goes on- all with just a few more horses than they came with from the factory floor. Hennessey will take a factory car- not always what you'd call slow and bland- and give it heart surgery.

The Kings will take on the Stormers without Steven Sykes and Siyanda Grey.
Sykes hurt a shoulder which rules him out of action for four weeks. Grey picked up a hamstring injury and he will be out of action for three weeks. Both players will miss only the Stormers game as the teams break for the International window.
Further to the above injuries, Kevin Buys and Schalk Ferreira are both being assessed for minor injuries, but should be available to make the trip to Cape Town.
The Kings need to pick up one more victory this season to ensure they do not finish bottom of the Super Rugby log. They are currently above the Highlanders and the Force, but the Force still have a bye to come. The Highlanders are seven points behind as it stands, but still face the Rebels in the coming weeks.

Comments about WTB Bronson Comp 26" Tire:
I bought these for rigid 96er I built and have noticed the footprint or the overall width of the tread seems to make it feel more like a 2.4. That's not a bad thing though, I think the ramped center knobs help it roll like a smaller width. So far it's been great in corners and off camber sections. I avoid the trails around here while it's muddy so I can't attest to the mud clearing properties. I like these tires but I love my kenda small block eights.

Landon Caputo was slowly losing his ability to control his muscles and cognition. But no one knew what was wrong. When he was 18 months old, he could say a few words, stand, take a few steps, and now he can't. No one knew what was wrong.

When Parrott Academy's girls soccer team set out on its 2013 mission it had four goals — reach double digits in wins, beat powerhouse Raleigh St. David's School, win a conference championship and make the state playoffs.
Two down, and two more are still well within reach.
The Patriots (11-4-2, 10-2-1 Eastern Plains Independent Conference) are having one of the best seasons in the sport in their history. They've already reached the 10-win mark and have knocked off nemesis St. David's on its own field.
Parrott is hoping for a little help from the soccer gods to achieve its first conference championship in school history. The Patriots host Rocky Mount Faith Christian today, and a win coupled with a loss or tie by Cary Christian will help make that happen.
"It has been the perfect senior year," said 2012 NCISAA All-State selection Jana Warren. "It is something we have talked about since the eighth grade and now we are neck-and-neck with the best teams in the conference."
Parrott's dream season didn't begin the way it would have hoped. The Patriots began with two losses and a draw in their first six matches, but have won eight of 11 since and remained near the top of the league standings all season.
Parrott, currently in second behind Cary Christian, beat the Knights 2-1 Tuesday for the first time on their home field — it was also Cary Christian's first league loss at home in its history, coach Shivar Person said.
This year's team has been led by seniors Langley Mills, Holden Arthur, Melissa Rudolph and Warren, who have all been a part of Parrott soccer since they were seventh graders.
Defense has been a mainstay at Parrott — it leads the league in fewest goals allowed, Person said — but this year its offense has come around, thanks to its seniors.
"The difference between this team and in years past has centered around strong leadership from the senior captains and the fact that each member of the team knows their role and works well with each other," Person said.
A win today will double its win total from the previous two seasons. The Patriots are also looking for a berth in the state playoffs for the third consecutive year after missing out the previous three.
Parrott's ticket to the playoffs this season is different than in the past. Since the school is in the 3A classification this school year, its berth into the state playoffs comes from an at-large bid. To get that bid, it needs a good showing against 3A schools.
Person is hoping his team's body of work speaks for itself.
"Hopefully, the strong end to the season will show the NCISAA state seeding committee how talented this team truly is," he said. "Having to play 3A sports this year has been a challenge, but the Patriots have put themselves in the conversation and could steal an at-large bid."
Regardless of what happens in regards to playoffs and winning a conference title, it's still been a special season for Parrott's girls soccer team.
"As for a way to define this team, it's easy," Person said. "They are determined, skilled, and fun to coach. Hopefully, the season will end with a conference title and a state playoff berth."

Phytoplankton Bloom off South Africa
February 21, 2013
Since late March 2003, a phytoplankton bloom has been occurring off the western coast of South Africa. Reports from water sampling at the site indicate that it is a rather unusual red tide containing a mixture of organisms called dinoflagellates and a species of coccolithophore called Syrachosphaera pulchra, which is an unusually large species of coccolithophore. A coccolithophore is an organism that has a chalky, calcium-based outer covering that reflects sunlight very strongly back from the ocean surface. Ocean waters that contain the organism appear very bright blue or green. This series of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images were acquired in March and April 2003 by the Terra and Aqua satellites. In some images, a handful of fires (red dots) are visible in South Africa. Credit: Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Rapid Response Team, NASA/GSFC

We survived.
Made it through another year at San Diego Comic-Con International without getting brain-munched by zombies; managed not to get sliced or diced by any of the many light saber-wielding Darth Vaders. And we're grateful to have avoided transformation into Your Little Pony by the herds of little girls and big boys who love those sparkly pink cuties and Comic-Con.
As in past years, Comic-Con 2013 is a sensory assault, a not-so-tiny city of cosplayers, yammering Hollywood-types, expert panelists doing whatever it is they do on panels, and game makers peddling games, art, toys and, yes, even comic books.
Plus endless, breathless promotion.
For example: Huge crowds turned out this year to say farewell to the show "Dexter," which is about to wrap up its run on Showtime. Fans also wanted to hear from the allegedly living humans behind AMC's "The Walking Dead" about next season. (For what it's worth, "The Walking Dead" made its usual Comic-Con splash, with a zombie prison and a handful of moldering dead with whom you could pose for uploads on Facebook and Instagram.)
And as ever at Comic-Con, there were hints of what soon will burble in zeitgeist. The BBC's "Dr. Who," celebrating its 50th year, is only going to get bigger. The movie adaptation of the fantasy novel "Ender's Game" is getting a buzz boost, as is "The World's End," the latest from the crew that created cult zombie comedy "Shaun of the Dead."
But that's the just the pop culture stuff that Comic-Con has become. Dig a bit and you can still find traces of Comic-Con's nerdy roots.
You have to go to the panels – the ones held in smaller meeting rooms – and you have to find the ones with topic titles such as "The Witty Women of Steampunk" or "History of Disney Pins" or "Manga Legends You Don't Know But Should..."
So we wandered those panels. We listened to those rooms.
This is what we heard.
At Blizzard Entertainment's new product panel we found Emily Wilder, 19, who spent a year-and-a-half making her costume for this year's Comic-Con, turning herself into an oh-so awesome Blood Elf Warlock from World of Warcraft, Blizzard's insanely popular game.
"It's from a raid," she explained. "This is my favorite armor set of all time from my favorite raid of all time."
Why'd the San Diego student dedicate herself to carving and painting foam armor and embedding blue LED lights?
"It's pure, fannish glory," she said. "It's stuff you can't talk about in the outside world, but here you can just enjoy it."
Earlier, during the "Q" portion of the panel's Q-and-A session, Wilder was one of several fans asking questions of Blizzard execs.
Q: Would there be more replica weapons, a la Doomhammer?
A: Something "sharp and pointy" is on the way.
Q: Will fans ever be able to download and print 3-D characters?
A: Hmmm. Not now, but that's an interesting idea.

JON CARDINELLI rates the performances of the Springbok players and coaching staff following their unsuccessful World Cup campaign in New Zealand.
Ratings out of 10 are in brackets. The star performers in each category are in bold.
Back three: Frans Steyn (7) started to find some form at fullback before he was asked to step in at No 12. Steyn provided plenty of physicality and impetus in that channel, but his success must be viewed in context considering he played in that position against the minnows. Pat Lambie (7) started the tournament slowly, but delivered his most rounded performance in the quarter-final. Francois Hougaard (7) was the pick of the wings, mixing a mongrel attitude with a phenomenal attacking talent for spectacular individual attacking results. Gio Aplon (7) was similarly dangerous, although wasn't used nearly enough over the course of the tournament. The two wings who were, Bryan Habana (5) and JP Pietersen (6), were consistently unimpressive. Habana became South Africa's top try-scorer when he dotted down against Namibia but was otherwise largely ineffective. Pietersen had his moments against Fiji, but also battled to make decisive breaks and finish. Odwa Ndungane (5) looked ordinary even when he started against Namibia. Zane Kirchner is not rated as he didn't play a game.
Centres: When the World XVs are compiled at the end of this tournament, Jaque Fourie (7) will be up there as the preferred No 13. His value on defence was evident in the first pool match against Wales and again in the quarter-final showdown with the Wallabies, while he combined well with Jean de Villiers (7) on attack in the latter game. De Villiers left the field early on during that Wales game and played off the bench in the Samoa clash, so his rating is largely based on a strong game against Australia. Juan de Jongh's (6) two-try success against Namibia should be viewed in context, although there's no denying he has a special talent.
Halfbacks: Fourie du Preez (6) mixed the measured with the erratic, executing well at some stages of the tournament, and missing the mark horribly at others. He looks to be past his best. Ruan Pienaar played so little rugby that it's difficult to give him a rating. The man who usurped Pienaar in 2009 for the No 10 jersey also didn't live up to expectations in many respects. Morne Steyn (5) wasn't as accurate in front of goal as many would have hoped, and his woeful defence allowed opposition teams free passage through the flyhalf channel. He did nail a great drop goal in the quarter-final against Australia, but looking at the Boks' campaign as a whole, his shortcomings on defence and attack let the team down. Butch James (6) did not get any opportunities at flyhalf, but turned in a solid defensive display at No 12 against Wales.
Back row: What better place to announce that you still have what it takes than on the biggest stage of all? Schalk Burger (9) looked the physical, sadomasochistic hulk of old, but also displayed a more subtle side to his game. His role as a 'distributor' in games against Wales and Samoa was influential to the outcome, but it was his ball-carrying surges into heavy traffic and some outstanding defensive displays (he made try-saving tackles against Samoa and Australia) that should be duly glorified. Heinrich Brussow (6) made some positive contirbutions without really dominating, as Sam Warburton won the breakdown battle in the big Pool D opener and David Pocock was the more influential openside flanker before Brussow succumbed to injury in the quarter-final. Francois Louw (6) did well when he was called on to deputise for Brussow, while Willem Alberts (7) was explosive in a bench or staring role. Pierre Spies (5) was consistent considering he failed to front for the big matches.
Locks: Victor Matfield (7) ended his illustrious career in terrific fashion. While he had a relatively quiet game against Wales and missed two pool games through injury, he rose to the quarter-final occasion, generating some important lineout steals as an individual and set-piece manager. Danie Rossouw (7) started this tournament strongly, but his overexposure at the top level in 2011 caught up with him in the latter stages. Bakkies Botha (5) never looked like the enforcer of old, while Johann Muller (6) was also limited by injuries.
Front row: Why wasn't this guy starting? It's not so much a question asked by myself than a question screamed by hordes of South African and international spectators every time Bismarck du Plessis (7) took the field. Every time Du Plessis came off the bench, he provided the Boks with go-forward. Peter de Villiers will argue that he is an impact player, but the Boks could have used his mobility, hard edge and breakdown skills from minute one. John Smit (5) tried his hardest at this competition, but was a poor impostor of the John Smit of 2007 and nowhere near the Bismarck du Plessis of 2011. Gurthro Steenkamp (6) and Jannie du Plessis (6) scrummed well, although the latter struggled in open play. The prop with the strongest game in general play, Beast Mtawarira (6) received few opportunities, as the Bok coaching staff favoured the superior scrummager in Steenkamp. CJ van der Linde (6) offered good impact from the bench, while Chiliboy Ralepelle (6) made the most of the few minutes he was given against Namibia during the pool stage.
Head coach: As the lengthy list of Bok assistants and consultants will show, Peter de Villiers (4) did not go to the World Cup to contribute in the technical department. From a management point of view, the senior players loved their coach because he allowed them carte blanche. He didn't have the balls to make the tough calls when it came to selection, particularly in the areas of flyhalf and hooker. This weakness cost the Boks big.
Forwards coach: The forwards performed strongly at this World Cup, although the selection of Smit did undermine their cause at the breakdown. Gary Gold (6) did a solid enough job, but it must also be noted that he worked closely with Rassie Erasmus and veterans like Matfield in formulating the forward battle plans.
Backs coach: What has Dick Muir (2) contributed to the Bok game in the last four years? At the beginning of the 2008 season, he convinced De Villiers to favour an all-out approach that shunned structure, and when the players overturned this decision and reverted to what worked in 2007, it was almost as if Muir lost interest. In 2011, the Boks had a defensive coach, a kicking coach and a technical analyst to aid their backline's development, and in areas like kicking and defence, there was a notable improvement. What failed to evolve was the Boks' attack, as the poor try-scoring record will show, and Muir must shoulder some of the blame for the backline's gross underachievement.

|All Children's Hospital Wins Five "Best In Class" Web Awards
|The 2011 Greystone.Net and Krames StayWell "Best In Class" Client Award Winners were announced at their Client Conference on November 7, 2011, in Orlando, FL. All Children's Hospital brought home a total of five awards, including the "Best in Class" Gold award for Best Overall Web Engagement.
"All Children's Hospital is an excellent example of the use of a wide variety of tools and techniques to engage audiences, build relationships and garner organizational support," said Mike Schneider, Executive Vice President, Greystone.Net. "The eHealth team at All Children's has effectively blended together the use of the Web site with social media tools, mobile tools and multimedia, and has used health content to integrate Web and print to better support patient needs. They represent an excellent example of an evolving, truly integrated and effective Web presence for the organization, said Schneider."
All Children's also received four other awards:
The award for Best Overall Web Engagement stated:
For many years, All Children's has been a forward thinking organization, leading in the adoption of interactive tactics and skillfully coordinating them with traditional marketing and communication channels. The Taste of Pinellas event is a prime example of how to effectively combine interactive tools with public relations, community relations, marketing and philanthropy. All Children's innovative use of multimedia — through campaigns such as the Scrub-a-Dub Dub hand hygiene program — show creativity in impacting patient care through interactive and traditional media.
"We are extremely honored to have received this recognition from our peers on behalf of the hospital," said David Gardner, eHealth Director. "These projects were team efforts that were successful thanks to many departments at ACH, including Information Technology, Human Resources, Infection Control, Creative Services and Marketing."

Comments about SOF SOLE Replacement Football Cleats - 1/2 inch Steel:
The product was great. I was able to cut and keep my balance while playing football outdoors in January in NH. The field conditions are usually hard and slick at this time of year but I was able to get the traction needed to play more competitively. Only complaint is the packaging. When I got this set with another size of replaceable cleat both packages were broken and the cleats were scattered around the box. All of were there though.

Comments about Geax Gato TNT 29" Tire:
Mounts up to Velocity Blunt 35 easy, inflates with floor pump, holds air even without sealant. Run these at 17-20 psi and they get phenomenal traction. Don't run them much higher or they won't work well.

Our 16U fastpitch team, MIKEN, is holding one tryout this year. We are essentially based out of Mt Juliet, TN but we have players that come from many other spots in TN. We believe it's important that our players prove themselves each year. We really do have a great core group of parents and players – I know everybody says that, but it really is true w/us! There are no egos or agendas on this team. We simply want to improve every year, and the experience for your child will be very positive and challenging. We do not play a crazy travel schedule – usually 6-7 tournaments around middle TN in the Spring/Summer and a couple in the Fall if the players/parents want that.
We have lost a couple pitchers from last year so if your daughter can pitch, please consider this opportunity. I'm also looking for another catcher.
When & where: January 27 (Sunday) on field # 11 from 3-5 pm at the Mt Juliet Park. Address is 10835 Lebanon Road, MJ 37122. I have no idea what the weather will do that day, but if it's cold, come out and we'll hit w/some of my old bats and get some fielding in. If it rains, I'll reschedule. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call or email me.
Thank you!!
Coach Brett

This is Piu-Piu#1 from Pylones in Paris and acquired in 2006
And this is Piu-Piu #2
Bought to keep Piu-Piu#1 company.
And let me tell you these birds are inseparable!
Of course it's true that these birds just happen to be magnetic...Ahem
Their main job is to collect metal paperclips =
They are "working birds"!
But these little guys are awfully fond of having tea with Pierre Herme desserts. In fact they've become regular slackers and refuse to mess with paperclips at all! Shocking is it not?
So what's up with all this interest in mini this and mini that?
Mini tea sets and mini birds and mini desserts? Hmmm...
I'm trying to figure that out myself.
Did the attraction start in Provence or buying the 1st mini Eiffel Tower on a Paris street corner..?

NEWPORT - When Serita Brewington gets unpacked and settles in to her new Habitat for Humanity home, she knows the first thing she's going to do.
"I'm just going to lie in the middle of the floor and wave my arms like those angel wings you make in the snow," Brewington said. "And, I'm just going to say 'home sweet home.'"
Brewington received the keys to her new house during a Habitat Home Dedication Ceremony on Monday at 238 Oscar Hill Road in Newport. She will move into the new house with her son Jaylyn, her turns 13 on Thursday, and son David, who is 4.
"I'm just thankful, so thankful," she said. "This couldn't be a better day."
Brewington had been living with her mother, and previously, had been living in a two-bedroom apartment. Now, she'll own a home that has become the 87th constructed by Crystal Coast Habitat for Humanity, which covers Carteret and Onslow counties.
She officially received the keys from Leonard Farrugia of Carolina Crawlspace Solutions, who served as construction coordinator of the project. Brewington paused several times when asked to speak to those at the dedication, choking back tears.
"I'm thankful and so excited," she said. "When he handed me those keys, that's when reality set in."
Brewington worked 400 hours to help build the house, while volunteers from the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Marine Unit at Cherry Point provided the bulk of the heavy-lifting needed to construct it.
Lt. Col. Jaime L. Gutierrez, CNATT commanding officer, said 136 of his personnel volunteered more than 1,070 hours since April in constructing the house.
"That was a lot of work for these guys on top of their mission, so I applaud them for that," he said.
Sgt. Bradley Hoover of CNATT came to Monday's dedication with one more task to perform on the house. He mounted a flag pole and put up an American flag on the side.
"I think it looks great," Hoover said of the house. "I'm happy the Brewington family is finally going to get to enjoy it. A lot of Marines put a lot of sweat into building it, and I could not be happier."
He said the hardest part for the CNATT volunteers was putting on the roof.
"That was a bad day," he said. "A lot of them came home beat that day."
Still, he said the Marines and sailors wouldn't trade all of the effort it took to build the house.
"We're happy to give back to the community," Hoover said. "They support us so much in what we do. It's just our way of giving back."
Steve Moody, president of the Crystal Coast Habitat Board of Directors, presented the Brewingtons with a family Bible.
"It is a day to truly rejoice," he said.
Kris Dunham, executive director of Crystal Coast Habitat, said the dedication Monday was specifically timed to coincide with World Habitat Day. She thanked all those who made the organization's 87th home dedication possible.
"It takes a whole community to get to this point," she said. "And a whole lot of Marines and sailors, too."

Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) research fellows Magnus Lofstrom and Sarah Bohn, and UC Berkeley professor of public policy Steven Raphael are issuing a new report that examines whether LAWA achieved its primary aims: reducing the unauthorized population, deterring their employment opportunities and improving employment outcomes of competing authorized workers. Their analysis also investigates whether Arizona's legislation induced a shift away from formal employment.
This discussion focuses on the MPI report, "Executive Action on Immigration: Six Ways to Make the System Work Better," which outlines administrative actions that can be implemented to improve the immigration system.
This important MPI report challenges the conventional wisdom about the immigrant workforce, using a sophisticated new method of analysis that permits deeper examination of how workers – immigrant and native-born – fare by economic sector, the skill level of their jobs, and educational attainment.
This briefing focuses on migrants higher rates of on-the-job injuries.
This panel discussion provided a brief overview of Mexican immigrants in the U.S., the role and function of Mexican consular officials in aiding this population, and reviewed the structure and foci of the Mexican government's Institute of Mexicans Abroad.

Crash victim says pain, indignities are 'rest of story'
Michael O'Leary / Herald File Nov. 15
Everett firefighters prepare to remove Teri Cantor from her car after a two car accident on South Third in Lowell. Police believe Johnothon Bagley, the driver of the car that slammed into her, was impaired by drugs.
Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Cantor, facing a long road to recovery, has another five weeks before she'll know when she can try to start walking again.
Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Teri Cantor shows one of her many scars after a man allegedly high on meth slammed into her car in Lowell last November.
Bleeding heavily, she was whisked to one hospital and transferred to another. The Everett woman spent five days in an intensive care unit.
The other driver, Johnothon Bagley, departed in the back of a patrol car. Police believe he was impaired by drugs when the Pontiac he had borrowed crossed the center line of a residential stretch of road in Lowell and slammed head-on into Cantor's Toyota.
Bagley, 27, fell asleep on the short ride to the police station. A ringing cellphone in his pocket didn't rouse him from his slumber, according to a police report.
In a basement conference room, he nodded off again and mumbled in his sleep.
More than two months after their worlds collided, Cantor, 51, rolls around her second-floor south Everett apartment in a wheelchair. She's recovering from multiple broken bones, including two shattered heels. Her feet are puffy and swollen and she must carefully tend to her wounds each day. She'll have to wait another five weeks for doctors to let her know when she might be able to try to walk again.
Bagley was arrested for investigation of vehicular assault. He posted $200,000 bail and for a while was out of jail. At the time of the crash, he was awaiting sentencing for several crimes that likely will send him to prison. Prosecutors later were able to convince a judge that Bagley had violated the conditions of his release, and his bail was revoked.
In a sense, both drivers are facing lengthy confinement.
Cantor has spent weeks at a time without leaving the tan walls inside her apartment.
Eight neatly sorted stacks of paper take up a portion of the beige carpet on her living room floor. They include medical bills and insurance papers. The tab so far exceeds $350,000.
Cantor was within a few blocks of her job in the inventory and receiving department at the Acrowood manufacturing plant in Lowell when the crash occurred shortly before 8 a.m. Nov. 15.
"I remember a red blur coming at me," she said. "There was no reaction time. There was no time to swerve."
To her, the crash sounded like an explosion.
"It kind of echoes in your mind," she said. "It's something that doesn't go away."
Collision detectives with the Everett Police Department are wrapping up their crash investigation, Sgt. Ryan Dalberg said. They will forward the case to prosecutors.
It pains Cantor to know that police believe Bagley was impaired by drugs.
His eyes were bloodshot beneath droopy lids when he was first questioned. His speech was slow and slurred, according to police reports.
A drug recognition expert from the Lake Stevens Police Department evaluated Bagley and concluded that his ability to drive was impaired, court papers said.
He's not been charged in connection with the crash, so toxicology results haven't been made public in court records.
On the day of the collision, Bagley already was awaiting sentencing for driving while under the influence of drugs. His license was suspended in August.
Six days before the crash, he appeared in Snohomish County Superior Court where he pleaded guilty to assault, attempting to elude police and possessing a controlled substance. In April 2011, he dragged a Lynnwood police officer a short distance after the officer leaned into his car during a traffic stop. Police found pills in the car and $3,204 in Bagley's pants pockets.
Police also arrested Bagley in February 2012. He later pleaded guilty to possessing 185 grams of heroin. During that arrest, police suspected he was driving under the influence of drugs. A blood test found methamphetamine in his system.
After the November crash, police obtained a judge's permission to search the car he was driving. They found "miscellaneous drug paraphernalia" and "unknown miscellaneous suspected narcotics," according to the search warrant.
Cantor wants people to consider the misery they can cause others when they drive impaired.
Her physical pain has been immense, but there also are emotional scars, she said. At the hospital and rehab center, there were many indignities -- the struggle to maneuver into a position to use a bedpan and the need to rely on others to bathe her.
"It really takes a lot of your self-esteem, relying on other people when you have lost your independence," she said.
Cantor also dreads putting on shorts under the summer sun, knowing that long unsightly scars will remind her of the crash.
Since the accident, she has learned a lot about how the body heals. Along with her crushed heels, she broke her leg, her pelvis and two ribs. She also dislocated a thumb.
X-rays show the breaks and a mini-hardware store of screws and metal drilled into the broken bones.
It took three surgeons 10 hours to repair her heels.
Feet, she has learned, hold an untold number of nerve endings. The damage to her feet was extensive. Sometimes, it feels as though her feet are on fire. Other times, they prickle with icy goosebumps.
For now, she must sit and mend. She misses her job and the simple rhythms of the daily grind. She fears the muscles in her injured limbs are wasting away and losing strength.
A photo and short story about the accident appeared on the Herald's website the day of the crash and in the print edition the next day.
"People need to be aware that this is the rest of the story," she said.
"It's going to be an emotional thing for the rest of my life."
