Health Management Program Among Nation's Best
U.S. News Also Highly Ranks Geriatrics, Public Health, Physician Assistant, Nursing
ST. LOUIS -- As the country wrestles with health care reform, Saint Louis University School of Public Health's master of health administration (MHA) program has been named among the 10 best in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report, which ranks the top programs in its "Best Graduate Schools for 2012" issue.
The health management has risen in the ranks from the 12th to the 9th slot.
"For the first time in several years, the whole country is focused on health care delivery systems and health promotion. The timing couldn't be better for us to be ranked among the top places that address health reform and improved health management," said Edwin Trevathan, M.D., MPH, dean of Saint Louis University's School of Public Health. "The stars are aligning perfectly for us."
The high quality of research -- particularly in comparing health systems around the world -- and in teaching has thrust the 63-year-old program into the top 10 in the country, Trevathan said. He plans to expand the program by hiring new faculty to meet the demand of a growing number of students eager to study health management and policy.
Those students, like the faculty who teach them, are a special breed, Trevathan added.
"Our students are amazing. Not only are they brilliant but they have a strong sense of social justice and mission that they take to the workplace," Trevathan said. "And for us to be a place known in the nation and internationally for our deep understanding of the globalization of health care and health management is critically important. We're uniquely positioned to think about health as a global issue."
Saint Louis University has the state's only accredited School of Public Health and is the only Jesuit or Catholic university with an accredited School of Public Health.
Geriatrics Highly Ranked
Other graduate education programs at Saint Louis University Medical Center that were recognized for their excellence included geriatrics, which ranked 16th. For more than a dozen years, geriatrics has been listed among the top 20 best programs in the nation.
"As more and more boomers age and the demand for geriatrics services increases, we are very happy to be recognized for our quality of education, research and patient care," said John Morley, M.D., director of the division of geriatric medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. "We continue to lead in geriatric care and education in the Midwest."
Last year, Saint Louis University Hospital, which is staffed by SLUCare physicians who are members of the Saint Louis University School of Medicine faculty, was ranked 21st in geriatrics by U.S. News & World Report in its Best Hospitals issue.
The ranking reflects the hospital's proficiency in treating difficulty cases involving patients who are 75 years and older and require a high level of expertise.
Other programs at Saint Louis University Medical Center that ranked among the 50 best in the country are: Doisy College of Health Sciences' physician assistant, 25th; public health, 36th; and nursing, 50th.
Also listed in this year's report, but not re-ranked for 2012, are health sciences programs in occupational therapy, 33rd, and physical therapy, 41st.
Saint Louis University Medical Center offers a wide range of health professions education. In addition to having the first School of Medicine west of the Mississippi River, Saint Louis University Medical Center includes the School of Nursing, Doisy College of Health Sciences, School of Public Health, Center for Advanced Dental Education and Center for Health Care Ethics.

Taste great
By Dave the rider
from NC
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I generally ride 25 miles and consume two bottles of water with accelerade and a small snack. This item served that purpose. I like the vanilla better than the honey flavor.
Favorite on the bike snack
By crash

Delicious quick energy bite
By Bop Doowop
from Delray Beach, FL
Taste great. Really enjoy eating them. Go down easy, and don't repeat on you. Don't know if Lance is still profiting from them, but his picture and endorsement are still on the wrapper, if that matters to you. The wrapper, by the way, is a little challenging to open without crumbling the delicious contents and having to dump the crumbs down into your mouth. So I prefer eating them when stopped.

Perfect for morning rides
By Tom
from Philadelphia
About Me Competitive Cyclist
These things are awesome, mainly because they taste great. They're the perfect size, only require a little bit of water to wash it down, and they're waffles. Enough said. The only complaint I have is that the packaging makes it a little difficult to eat while riding. You can't just rip it open, like you would do with a powerbar, because it's thin and will crumble.

Taste good!
By JT

These both taste good and give you energy when you need it! They also go down easy unlike some other products that seem to require copious amounts of water to wash them down.

Always a taste great pre-ride snack. Kids love them, too.
By Zookeapr

I've tried them all, and these waffles are the best. Not too sweet and quite satisfying.

The Guest Lodge
A mere 7km outside the historic town of Stellenbosch, uncover an enchanted holiday experience at Cultivar Guest Lodge. Nestled among magnificent mountains of the Stellenbosch wine route, guests can enjoy spectacular views of the underlying valley along with the surrounding vineyards and trickling mountain streams. Boasting a range of luxurious self-catering units catering for up to 200 people, each individually appointed unit boasts an en-suite bathroom, kitchenette, dining area, fire place, cupboard, satellite TV, tea and coffee making facilities, a hair dryer and a private patio and braai area. With fantastic levels of service suited to all your individual needs, all guests are welcomed in true Cultivar style.
Occupying sweeping green grounds, guests can spend sunny days lounging by the sparkling swimming pool or toasting their toes over the fire in the welcoming guest house lounge. For those looking to explore further than the lodge, Cultivar is just 7km outside Stellenbosch; giving guests access to a wide range of wining and dining activities. With marked mountain bike tours right outside Cultivar's doorstep, guests can discover a number of other attractions in the surrounding area; namely, wine tasting, spas, restaurants, horseback riding, Cheetah Outreach, botanical gardens, theatres and entertainment, the Township Experience and many more.
We stayed here for 2 nights in a beautifully appointed 2-bedroomed unit with lounge and kitchen. Lovely view from veranda of pool and surrounding countryside. The fact that we could self-cater here instead of eating out was a bonus.

So you're wondering what's the big deal with "digital," are you? Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past decade, almost everything you hear about is new, improved, and digital. The "old stuff" was analog. And guess what when it comes to adding this technology to your hot ride, there's more available than just CD players. One of the most recent areas to go digital is electronic-ignition systems. So what does it mean, and why are digital systems better than older analog electronics? Before looking at digital ignition systems in particular, let's take a look at the differences between analog and digital circuits. Here's the technical definition of both (drawn from an electronics dictionary):
Digital Circuit: This is a circuit in which the output currents or voltages are interpreted as having one of several (often two) values, depending on which of a corresponding number of ranges they fall into. Such circuits implement logical operations or operations on representations of discrete numbers, often in binary form.
Analog Circuit: This is a circuit in which the output voltage and current values are considered significant over a continuum. Analog circuits may be used for such purposes as amplifying signals.
Proportionate Technologies?There's more to consider than a simple definition, though: When you take a look at a computer, you'll find that it is basically a device capable of performing a series of arithmetic, or logical, operations. A computer is distinguished from an adding machine (a good example is a simple hand-held electronic calculator or even an ancient abacus) by being able to store a computer program (this allows it to repeat operations and make "logical" decisions) and to store and retrieve data without intervention from you.
Technically speaking, computers are classified as analog or digital. An analog computer operates on continuously varying data. Meanwhile, a digital computer (such as today's common PC) performs operations on what is called "discrete data." An analog computer represents data as physical quantities and operates on the data by manipulating the quantities. In a complex analog computer, continuously varying data is converted into varying electrical quantities and the relationship of the data is determined by establishing an equivalent relationship, or "analog," among the electrical quantities.
While analog computers are commonly found in such forms as electrical watt-hour meters, they largely have become obsolete for general-purpose mathematical computations and data storage thanks to digital computers. Inside a digital computer, data is expressed in binary notation (or "numeration"). Essentially, this is a series of on-off conditions that represent the digits 1 and 0. A series of eight consecutive binary digits, or bits, is called a byte and allows 256 on-off combinations. Each byte can represent one of up to 256 alphanumeric characters. Mathematics and comparative operations can be performed on data represented in this way and the result stored for later use. Digital computers are used for things like desktop publishing, scientific research, data-processing...and now, race car ignition systems.
A Less Intense Explanation...As you can see, the definitions of analog and digital are definitely hard on the brain, and if you're not into computers or electronics, they can certainly tend to be geek-speak. Here's the simple answer: The best way to understand the differences between digital and analog is to think of the differences between a good old-fashioned wristwatch with a sweep second hand and the LCD readout on something like your VCR. Both display time, but the wristwatch is constantly varying. Simply stated, as the second hand sweeps around the face of the wristwatch, the information that is displayed is constantly changing.
Next, regarding the clock on your VCR, it's really presenting the same information, but in what's called a "discrete demonstration." In other words, it displays one piece of information at a time.
An analog system is like the good old-fashioned wristwatch with a second hand. It attempts to recreate the information as it actually happens. The digital system takes the information and represents it as a series of changes, or "bits," that are represented in code by zeros and ones.

Chicago Blackhawks (32-10-13) at Vancouver Canucks (27-18-9), 10:30 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Chicago Blackhawks will try to snap a four-game
winless stretch on Wednesday night as they continue a lengthy road trip
against the Vancouver Canucks.
The Blackhawks are 0-2-2 over their last four games, dropping them into a tie
with the St. Louis Blues for first place in the Central Division. Both teams
have 77 points, but the Blues own the current tiebreaker by having played
three fewer games.
Chicago began a seven-game road trip on Tuesday night that runs through the
Olympic Break with a 5-4 overtime setback to the Calgary Flames. T.J. Brodie
had the game-winner for the Flames, stuffing a wraparound past Corey Crawford
with 2:34 to go in overtime.
Crawford was tagged with the loss despite stopping 13-of-14 shots in relief of
Antti Raanta, who allowed four goals on 15 shots. He was pulled after yielding
a short-handed goal 10:25 into the second period.
"I didn't like the first couple of goals," Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville
said. "They were going in on him (Raanta). At the same time it was an easy
time to make the decision to pull him."
Marian Hossa scored twice, once shorthanded, while Ben Smith and Patrick Kane
potted a goal apiece for the Blackhawks, who are 1-1-5 in their last seven on
the road.
Crawford is likely to get the start tonight and is 4-2-2 with a 2.09 goals
against average in eight previous meetings with the Canucks.
Vancouver's scoring woes could be the remedy that Chicago needs. The Canucks
have been held to a pair of goals or fewer in eight of their last nine games,
including Monday's 4-2 setback to the Edmonton Oilers.
In his first game since Oct. 19 because of a broken ankle, Jordan Schroeder
scored his first two goals of the season, while Roberto Luongo yielded four
goals on 20 shots.
"I needed to come up with that save in the third period," Luongo lamented.
"The team needed it."
Vancouver had won three of four coming in and played a fourth consecutive game
without center Henrik Sedin, who is out with a rib injury.
The Canucks will try to break even on a four-game homestand tonight and are
likely to start Luongo, who is 15-10-2 with a tie, four shutouts and a 2.17
GAA all-time versus the Blackhawks.
These two clubs have split a pair of meetings this season, with each team
winning on the road.
It has been a tight series as of late, with the franchises splitting the last
14 encounters, and the Blackhawks' 2-1 victory in Vancouver on Nov. 23 snapped
a three-game series road losing streak.

Dundee United came from two behind in dramatic fashion to grab an unlikely share of the points against sloppy Celtic in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at Tannadice.
The Hoops were leading through goals from Miku, his first for the club since signing on loan from Getafe in the summer, and Tony Watt and looked certain to take the points back to Glasgow after scoring with 10 minutes from the end.
However, in the final minute of normal time United substitute Gary Mackay-Steven, on for Richie Ryan, scored what looked like a late consolation only for Efe Ambrose, on for the injured Thomas Rogne, to put a Barry Douglas cross past his own goalkeeper Fraser Forster in injury time.

Hi all,
Running a dual monitor W7 system atm, and looking to upgrade to W8.
But my main question is about dual monitor work. I cannot really find proper information on this, it's all very contradictory....
What I would like to have while working, is the desktop stretched across my two monitors so I can have applications open on both monitors.
When accessing the start menu, it should open up on the second monitor, but keep the desktop focus on my main monitor.
Running Metro apps should be done on the second monitor as well, not the main monitor
By switching back to the desktop (main monitor) W8 should replace/hide the Start menu/Metro app again for the desktop on the second monitor.
Is this possible to set up in W8?
I hope I explained it well enough ;-)
cheers for any answers,

New For 2013A backup camera becomes standard with the navigation package on Juke SV models, and a new Rockford Fosgate sound system is added to SL models and to SV models with the navigation package. There are three new colors: atomic gold, brilliant silver, pearl white.
OverviewThe Juke's styling might be unusual, but the car has been a runaway success for Nissan, proving that not all small, affordable cars need to look the same. The idea for the Juke is to blend the benefits of a crossover (ride height, all-wheel-drive capability) with the fun aspects of a sports car (responsive engine, engaging handling). The interior is surprisingly commodious for such a compact vehicle, with seating for five and rear seats that fold flat to improve cargo capacity. The turbocharged, direct-injected 1.6-liter in-line four-cylinder engine provides punchy acceleration but still returns decent fuel economy. It can be mated to a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission in front-wheel-drive Jukes, whereas the all-wheel-drive model comes exclusively with the CVT. The Juke is no sports car, but it is far more interesting than the economy cars on which it is based. Minimal body roll and accurate steering make the Juke fun to throw around corners, and its brakes are similarly able to cope with enthusiastic driving. All-wheel-drive models use an independent rear suspension and a torque-vectoring rear differential, which distributes torque between the two rear wheels to improve cornering performance. The Juke is a unique compact crossover that is practical and enjoyable to drive—but its quirky styling is not for everyone.
SafetyFront, side, and side curtain air bags are standard, as are stability and traction control, ABS with brake assist, and a tire-pressure monitoring system.
You'll like:
- Responsive turbo engine
- Surprisingly fun to drive
- Cool interior design
You won't like:
- Polarizing design
- Some torque steer <
- Poor rearward visibility

Villa Park
Barclays Premier League
(Attendance: 33,184)
By Dan Harrison at Villa Park
Christian Benteke, Marc Albrighton and Chris Herd have been given the nod for today's clash against Norwich City, with Paul Lambert making three changes to his starting XI.
Benteke, Albrighton and Herd come in for Darren Bent, Stephen Ireland and the injured Nathan Baker.
It is a second start of the season for Herd - his first coming in the 3-1 defeat to Everton in August.
Matt Lowton is expected to fill in at centre-back with Baker [ankle], Ciaran Clark [knee] and Richard Dunne [groin] all sidelined.
Norwich are unchanged from last weekend's 1-0 victory over Arsenal.
Anthony Pilkington, who opened the scoring in this fixture last season, starts the match while their other scorer from that day Steve Morison is on the bench.
VILLA: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar (c), Bennett, El Ahmadi, Delph, Herd, Albrighton, Holman, Agbonlahor, Benteke. Subs: Given, Bent, Westwood, Lichaj, Bannan, Ireland, Weimann.
NORWICH: Ruddy, Martin, Johnson, Bassong, Turner, Holt (c), Pilkington, Hoolahan, E Bennett, Garrido, Tettey. Subs: Rudd, Snodgrass, Howson, Jackson, Morison, Barnett, R Bennett.

Coach Tomlin on Mendenhall suspensionPosted by on December 12, 2012 – 6:15 pm
Steelers' running back Rashard Mendenhall was suspended for this week's game against the Dallas Cowboys and on Wednesday Coach Mike Tomlin addressed the suspension. Tomlin spoke about the suspension after practice, stating that Mendenhall did not attend the Steelers-Chargers game at Heinz Field last Sunday, but did not field any questions.
"Last Sunday, he was not at the game," said Tomlin. "I deemed those actions a detriment to our efforts. I stated as such when I met with him that there were going to be repercussions with it. It was a good visit. He accepted it. He looks forward to coming back and rejoining his team on Monday and being a positive contributor to our efforts the rest of the way.
"Obviously there is frustration with his situation, understandably. But we all have a job to do. I require that all guys remain professional regardless of personal circumstances. He didn't meet the standard in that regard, and he accepted the consequences of it. Hopefully this will be a lesson learned, not only for him but for everyone, and we will be able to move on from it. Right now, our focus is on the guys that are here and their preparation in an effort to pursue victory this weekend."
Mendenhall was inactive for Ravens and Chargers games, and will not play for the third straight week because of the suspension.

What was going on with Mendehall? What kind of personal problem was he having that he did not show up to the game? I am out of the loop!

Makes sense but still very concerning, the kind of stuff that divides a locker room.
By Jason M on Dec 12, 2012 | Reply
he was suspended Sarah HG because he didn't show up the game and he didn't show up to the game because he was mad the Coach Tomlin benched him for fumbling after the browns game. Atleast that's what i think happnend. Hope it's helpful and you are in the loop now.

He turned into a sour puss just because he was demoted to 3rd string. I prefer to have Dyer and Redman 1 and 2….Mendenhall was not doing much of anything last 2 years and was on the decline anyways. Batch is also starting and Rainey can do the job as well…..so all is good, not a big loss

Mendenhall SHOULD BE GONE HE PROVED THAT BY NOT SHOWING UP TO THE GAME???????????? Give me a break!!!! Let him and his ego go!!!!! KEEP DWYER, RAINEY, BATCH!!!!!!!!!!!! AND LETS MOVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!! CASE CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I support coach Tomlin, he must keep the dressing room free of these negative vibes. I think that we need to weed out these players who are not conributing and unhappy. Mendenhall is no longer our star running back and I think that he is acting out in protest.
By Scott on Dec 12, 2012 | Reply
Obviously you cannot allow a player to be a "cancer", but I still say he is our only threat to break off a long run.
By Devin Nelsen on Dec 12, 2012 | Reply
Hopefully he'll come back to play soon because we need all the help we can get.

Mendenhalls problems aside, he didn't follow the coach or the teams rules. Suspention warranted!
By Jeff on Dec 13, 2012 | Reply
I do like Dwyer. I liked him since seeing him in pre-season his rookie year. Personally I don't think Redman is our answer as the #2 guy, or maybe it's that our offensive line just don't push the pile to get those 3rd and shorts for him. I think if Mendenhall will humble himself and come in like he is a newbie fighting for a job he'll be good. Right now he looks to me like he thinks he is the BUS and we can't win without him, and we all know that ain't so. All that said, I still don't understand the benching for fumbling being that all our running backs did the same things that night against Cleveland. Terrible night for us all.
By scott on Dec 13, 2012 | Reply
Mendenhall needs to be released! He thinks he is better than what he is in reality. Dwyer is doing a good job and seems to be playing like he is trying to prove something. Maybe trade Mendenhall and get a draft pick and use it for some young defensive player. Defense needs the help.

Mendenhall has been proving himself to Steeler Nation ever since we drafted him so high. He had to show that he wasn't a flash in the pan behind Willie Parker and Jerome Bettis. His fumble in the Super Bowl was DEVASTATING!! The Steelers are more than a team or jus
By Fierceblues on Dec 13, 2012 | Reply
Mendy has fumbled balls, Twitter posts and now team building. Clearly his lack of focus and thinking things through has negatively affected his time on the field as well as his reputation amongst the fans. Willie Parker copped an attitude and what did that get him……benched. Mendenhall is either stubborn or a slow learner..either way his time in the Black N Gold is about over.
By Avery on Dec 13, 2012 | Reply
As a manager of strong-willed individuals, I appreciate Coach Tomlin's decision and brief explanation. Rashard Mendenhall was not productive on the field for an extensive period (2 years). His off-the-field actions may have encouraged Coach's decision.
Let's applaud Coach Tomlin and use his actions as an example of distinguished Steeler's coaching decisions. Job well done.
By rick spencer on Dec 13, 2012 | Reply
As in the past…if you arent a team player youhave to pay the price. No one player is bigger than the team. Keep your mouth shut and do your job and you wont have a problem. Rashard Mendenhall does not run the show. Coach does and the sooner he gets that the better. Yes we can use him because when hes good hes a great contributor . That said hopefully he will GET IT and be back to help out next week. If not he may be going the way of Santonio Holmes.

Hello ..Steelers Fans….We all know that the team can go to the playoffs this season…So the players need 2 take a better look at the way they are playing on the field….( " Here we Go Steelers Here we Go" ) Have a great Christmas Holiday.
By Dustin on Dec 13, 2012 | Reply
@Jeff, I don't think Mendenhall was benched for fumbling because – as you stated – all of the backs fumbled in the Browns game. I think he was benched for lack of production. The other backs, especially Dwyer, have been more effective. You can only stay at the top of the depth chart if you keep running well. Mendenhall hasn't been doing that. On top of that, his fumbles are more about technique. He doesn't carry the ball safely and using the fundamentals. And then to top it all off, he seems to have an attitude problem. I think his days are numbered as a Steeler.

isn't he the runner that fumbled in the superbowl?
By jimvlv on Dec 14, 2012 | Reply
I am more concerned with the performance of the rest of the team. There is trouble in paradise. I don't think Mendenhall is the whole problem, although certainly he was one of them.He alone is not responsible for losing to the worst teams in the NFLI think that it's Mr. Haley's wornout offensive gameplans. We lost to Oakland, Denver, San Diego and almost K.C. All AFC west all familiar with Mr. Haley's offense. Think about it .Am I wrong?

Finally a clean solution for transporting extra fluids on your motorcycle.
This 3-liter fuel can from Touratech allows you to safely transport the liquids you need for your adventure - such as oil, water, or even extra fuel. Pair this fuel can with our Zega Pro Fuel Can Mount and you'll have a great storage solution for the extra liquids you need on your motorcycle.
CAUTION! If used as a fuel can, be sure it is fastened securely to an area of the motorcycle that is less vulnerable to impacts. We recommend using our Zega Pro Fuel Can Mount to secure the can.

I was impressed by the high quality of this fuel canister the day it came in. Riding my cruiser exclusively in Arizona, the summer heat was a concerned about making the fuel expand and releasing fumes or leaking inside of my saddlebags but I was pleasantly surprised to find no odor or leakage even on 110+ degree days. If you're thinking of buying a canister for extra fuel then buy this one with confidence. You won't be disappointed.

for the most part it comes down to hardware costs. smart phones are getting to the point where they're almost as powerful as normal computers in some ways.
Posted 28 November 2012 - 09:14
Personally, no. I can afford it which in my mind means it isn't over priced. Would I like it if the cost dropped? Yes. I nearly bought a Kindle Fire the other day just because of how cheap it was, and I'd be more inclined to do the same thing with a phone if the price was lower. Instead I carefully try and decide on the phone that will last me the longest time.

So they cost less to build than a console, and yet sell for a bit more than twice as much, in some cases.
And people want to say they're not overpriced?

DEFUNIAK SPRINGS — Students and faculty at West DeFuniak Elementary School spooned up servings of ice cream Monday in honor of their classmate, Micah Goldsmith.
The idea to have a cold treat was voiced following a two-hour memorial at which the school attempted to come to grips with the death Saturday of the talented and bubbly fourth-grader, who died with two others in a church bus accident near Chipley.
"One of the students said, 'I wish I had ice cream. Ice cream makes everything better,' " said principal Darlene Paul. "So we had ice cream."
At West DeFuniak, as well as at nearby Maude Saunders Elementary, grief counselors were called in to help students struggling to cope with the deaths of 11-year-old Micah and 8-year-old Maliya Chrishon.
Maliya, whom her cousin Tabitha Green described as a "big ol' goof ball" that "loved to make people laugh," was a third-grader at Maude Saunders.
"She was a very precious young lady, very sincere, who worked very hard," said principal Tracey Dickey. "We will certainly miss her."
Both girls were on their way to a Gospel of the Kingdom Church function when a tire blew on the 2001 Dodge van in which they were passengers.
The van slid across the median and westbound lanes of Interstate 10 and flipped several times before coming to rest on the shoulder of the road.
Patricia Baker, a 56-year-old who called Fort Walton Beach home on her Facebook page, also died in the accident.
Baker lived in DeFuniak Springs and worked as a correctional officer at the state prison located in north Walton County, acquaintances said.
The Bay County Medical Examiner's Office conducted external examinations of all three bodies Monday and anticipates releasing them to funeral homes today, said investigator Whit Majors.
Here's how other church van crash victims are faring
Ten people were traveling in the van that left DeFuniak Springs at 7:34 a.m., Saturday, apparently bound for Tallahassee for a women's group conference.
Dr. Willie Blackmon, who with his wife, Pastor Brenda Blackmon, runs the Gospel of the Kingdom Church, would say only that the event was "an outing" but did confirm that he is the owner of the van that wrecked.
"The police report has been released to the insurance company," Blackmon said before hanging up to tend to phone calls from church members grieving the loss of friends and family.
Only two on the bus — driver Martha Bramlet and Sophia Livingston, a 6-week-old infant — were wearing seat belts, according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release.
Micah's mother, Akyra Eiland, was critically injured in the accident. She remains unresponsive, according to David Goldsmith, Micah's father.
Eiland, 30, has been placed in the Bay Medical Center surgical ICU unit, hospital officials said.
The 11-year-old's grandmother, Dorothy Turner, 55, is also in the Bay Medical Center surgical ICU unit. Goldsmith said Turner, listed in serious condition, is responding well to treatment.
Deshaunna Glenn, 33, and Taquita Davis, 32, both taken from the accident scene in serious condition, have been released, Bay Medical officials said.
Bramlet, the 49-year-old driver, suffered only minor injuries, as did Kayla Glenn, 11, who was listed as riding in the passenger seat of the van at the time the accident occurred.
Family, friends grieving for two dead girls
David Goldsmith wept openly as he spoke of his 11-year-old daughter Micah, her love of life and her talent for singing.
"She was the ultimate kid. She loved to make people laugh. They loved going to church, praising the Lord and singing. Singing, that came natural to her."
Micah was a cheerleader and a member of the West DeFuniak Elementary K-kids with an association to the area's Kiwanis Club.
Nearly everyone at West DeFuniak Elementary knew Micah, said school principal Darlene Paul.
"That little girl had a beautiful smile. It could light up a room," she said.
Goldsmith and Micah's mother, Akyra Eiland, were no longer a couple at the time of Micah's tragic death Saturday in a van accident on Interstate 10 near Chipley.
Goldsmith said the domestic situation didn't allow him to see his daughter every day, but when he did it was like the two had never parted company.
"She loved her grandma and her mother and her daddy like no other," he said.
At West DeFuniak Elementary, school officials took two hours to speak to students and memorialize Micah, Paul said. Students were encouraged to leave cards or some other expression of love at the deceased girl's desk.
"It has turned into a memoriam," Paul said. "Her desk is full of posters, poems and pictures."
At nearby Maude Saunders Elementary, similar efforts were made Monday to celebrate the life of third-grader Maliya Chrishon.
"We went in and spoke to the class and had grief counselors here," said Tracey Dickey, the principal at Maude Saunders Elementary.
Both girls had extended family at the schools they attended, and Dickey said the consolation reached into several classrooms where siblings and cousins of the two wreck victims were missing school to grieve.
Goldsmith has made the effort to set up a fund to help cover funeral expenses for his daughter and other costs for his family. He said an account in his name has been established at the Army Aviation Federal Credit Union branch in DeFuniak Springs.

Winston Academy softball coach Jessica Dickens knows a little bit about the Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers.
As the coach at SA last season, Dickens became pretty familiar with the program.
A scouting report wasn't really needed after Dickens learned that her Lady Patriots would be playing the Lady Vols in the second game of the Starkville Academy Invitational.
There was one Lady Vol that Dickens didn't know as well as the others.
Nikki Ford, a transfer from Ackerman, was credited with three hits and drove in three runs, including a key two-run single in the sixth to help Starkville Academy defeat Winston Academy 5-3 at the Mississippi State RecPlex.
"She came up with some big clutch hits," Dickens said of Ford's day. "She drove in three runs and did a great job."
The Lady Vols increased a 3-2 lead to 5-2 on Ford's single and she was happy to contribute.
"I've been working in practice on hitting it in the opposite direction and it paid off," Ford said. "It was a really good hit for me. I was so excited and it pumped me up. I'm glad we won that game. We needed to win that game."
Ford and coach Kayla Mosley came to the SA program at the same time.
Mosley called Ford's two-run single "huge" and said she has adjusted to being a part of the team well.
"We had a lot of chances to score some runs earlier, but (Ford) came through when we needed it and that's all that matters so I'm very proud of our girls," Mosley said. "(Ford) has done a great job and the girls are happy to have her. She's been a big help so far this season."
Ford said the Lady Vols have made her feel welcome.
"I really like it here," Ford said. "The people are nice and I love playing softball here for coach Mosley."
Starkville Academy scored a run in the first inning when Mary Austin Barber came home on a fielder's choice by Ford. Barber drove the first pitch she saw for a double to start the game.
In the second inning, the Lady Vols scored two more runs on RBI singles by April Burney and Adrienne Futral.
The Lady Patriots closed the gap to 3-2 with a pair of runs in the third and the score stayed that way until Ford delivered in the sixth for SA.
Winston Academy was able to get a run in the sixth, but left a runner at second base at the end.
"Our third baseman getting hit in the face (by a line drive) and shortstop getting hit in the face (by an incoming baserunner in the second) kind of shook us up a little bit," Dickens said. "We battled back, but just didn't have enough time.
"Starkville hit the ball well and I was impressed with their hitting. They played the better game."
Barber had a pair of doubles and a single to lead a 12-hit attack for the Lady Vols. Futral, Burney and Julianne Jackson had two singles each.
Ford could tell how much her teammates wanted to make a statement against their former coach.
"They were talking about how they really wanted to beat her because she left, but it was a really good game and we needed to win it because she was the old coach," Ford said. "They have good players and so do we. We just hit better than them."
Mosley said it just so happened that Dickens and Winston Academy matched up in the winner's bracket game.
She admits getting the victory gave the opportunity for some good-natured ribbing with Dickens.
"Both of us are really competitive in good fun," Mosley said. "It was a good win to get and I'm sure we'll tease each other a little bit."

Starkville Academy 2
The Lady Rebels jumped out to a 7-0 lead and advanced in the winner's bracket of the SA Invitational.
The two runs scored by the Lady Vols came in the seventh inning.
Emily Gregory had a triple for Starkville Academy, while Barber had the only other extra base hit with a double. Lauren Ware added a pair of singles, while Jackson and Ford had one single each.
With the loss, the Lady Vols (5-4) fell into the loser's bracket and the tournament was expected to last into the late hours on Saturday night.
Starkville Academy 15,
Kemper Academy 1
Barber started the day with two doubles as the Lady Vols won the first game easily.

Construction Updates
Building for the Future
When Washington Hospital opened in 1958, it served a community of 18,000 people; today it serves more than 350,000 residents and is expected to grow over the next several years. Upgrades are needed not only to ensure the hospital is able to continue to provide care in the event of a disaster, such as an earthquake, but also as a result of the growing population throughout the District.
Facilities Master Plan
In 2004, the Washington Township Health Care District Board of Directors developed a long-range master plan to meet this anticipated future demand. Today implementation of this Facilities Master Plan continues. This multi-year master plan will guide the development of our main medical campus to the year 2030 to ensure safe, reliable, quality hospital facilities that will meet the health care needs of our community for the future.
Phase 1 Completed
In January 2009, WHHS broke ground on the first building of Phase 1 of the Facilities Master Plan. The Consolidated Central Plant Project was funded in part by Measure FF, a bond measure approved by voters (with over 70 percent support) in November 2004. The Independent Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee oversees the disbursement of the Measure FF bond proceeds and reports annually on the expenditure of the funds.
The 37,000 square foot power plant, completed in December 2011, includes a new central plant, laundry, utility tunnel and a new loading dock. The new central plant is critical in providing expanded utility service, which will allow for the eventual replacement of nearly all buildings on Washington Hospital's campus.
The new Center for Joint Replacement building, which houses the new Institute for Joint Restoration and Research, opened in May 2012. The new joint replacement center features 30 private patient rooms, 30,000 square feet of space and eight examination rooms.
Phase 2
The second phase includes the Morris Hyman Critical Care Pavilion that will house the much needed, expanded Emergency Room and Critical Care Units. The construction plans for this new, three-story 250,000-square-foot Pavilion are undergoing final review with the State and construction is scheduled to begin in 2015.
The Morris Hyman Critical Care Pavilion will answer this community's need for expanded emergency and critical care facilities. Last year, more than 50,000 patients were treated in the emergency room. The new emergency room will be approximately four times as large as the current emergency room providing a greater ability to meet the needs of the District residents. The new critical and intensive care units will have 48 beds compared to the current capacity of 28 beds. All of the rooms will be private and larger in size. The facility will also have an additional 68 med-surg beds and support space.
Final Phases
The third phase of the Master Plan calls for construction of a new inpatient tower to be completed in time for a state seismic deadline of 2030. This new patient tower will include space for operating rooms, diagnostic imaging, birthing center, neonatal intensive care unit, medical and surgical nursing units and other support services to serve the growing community.
The final phase will allow for the remaining portions of the existing hospital to be converted into medical office space and complete the new main entrance to the hospital.
Environmental Impact Report
Washington Hospital Healthcare System has adopted the 2010 to 2030 Site Master Plan (the "Master Plan" or "Project") which will guide the development of our main medical campus to the year 2030 in order to help ensure safe, reliable, quality hospital facilities that will meet the health care needs of our community for the future.

text: one of the most epic endings to a match I can recall was on raw in 2002 when jeff would not quit against the undertaker after (and during) their ladder match. I was still young enough that I actually was really into the match... and I was a huge jeff hardy fan for obvious reasons. when undertaker came back after beating down jeff and raised his hand no matter how cliche, it was still and epic ending to an epic match.

Cover - Here To Stay - By Ben
First I have to say thank you Korn for all the things you've brought and you're still bringing to the music.
I will never forget the day I've listened for the first time to the first album. My ears have been smashed away, and I felt in love with the seven string guitar.
John, you're one of my singer mentors, showing us that worse things inside can create best things outside.
I've learned a lot in music thanks to you guys!
So, this is my vocal cover of the song "Here to stay", dedicated to one of the best band ever.

Adam Ant named as one of headliners of 2012 Solfest festival
Last updated at 16:50, Monday, 19 March 2012
Cumbria music festival Solfest has announced its first wave of bookings for the 2012 event.
Adam Ant, KT Tunstall, Billy Bragg, The South (formerly three quarters of The Beautiful South), Big Country, Seth Lakeman and the Bootleg Beatles will appear at the festival, at Tarns, near Aspatria, between August 24 and 26.
Originally one of the cult icons of UK punk rock, Adam And The Ants built a fiercely loyal following in the late 70s before bursting into the mainstream with the tribal pop of 'Kings Of The Wild Frontier' in the early 80s.
In the following few years, with number one hits coming thick and fast in the shape of 'Prince Charming', 'Stand And Deliver', 'Ant Rap', 'Goody Two Shoes', Adam Ant became a household name.
A period as a solo artist, Video DJ on the fledgling MTV, working with acclaimed producer Tony Visconti, and acting dominated his career for the next few decades, while his 2006 autobiography Stand & Deliver revealed his battles with mental health issues.
Adam was presented with the Q magazine Icon award in 2008, previously bestowed by the respected British music magazine to Bryan Ferry, Paul McCartney and Marianne Faithfull.Culminating in a series of low-key London gigs with new backing band The Good, The Mad And The Lovely Posse in 2010, these last few years have seen Adam busier than ever.
Last year's national tour saw Adam & The Good, The Mad And The Lovely Posse delight and entertain at sell-out shows throughout the UK with Adam displaying all the craft, showmanship and charisma that had originally built his reputation.
KT Tunstall will also grace the Solfest 2012 main stage, bringing with her a distinctive and unique approach to contemporary singer-songwriting delivered in a stripped backed solo version with effects pedals multi-tracking her vocal. The Scottish performer broke through into the mainstream after a magnificent performance of her own 'Black Horse And The Cherry Tree' on Later…With Jools Holland in 2004. The former busker has since found herself charting throughout Europe, winning a BRIT Award, had a Grammy Award nomination and has also been the recipient of an Ivor Novello Award.
All KT's albums to date have gained her platinum or gold discs, and unusually for a UK singer, charted in the USA too.
Post-punk legends Big Country emerged from Scotland in the early 80s with one of the most distinctive rock sounds to have ever surfaced. The unmistakable Celtic rock sound of Stuart Adamson and Bruce Watson's dual guitars and Tony Butler's and Mark Brzezicki's driving rhythm section evoked epic landscapes and, aided by a series of hugely memorable singles which took them to the top of the UK charts. Classic singles such as 'In A Big Country', 'Chance', 'Wonderland', 'Look Away' and 'King Of Emotion' and gold and platinum albums The Crossing, Steeltown, The Seer and Peace In Our Time helped Big Country establish themselves as one of the biggest- selling British acts of the 80s.
Approaching their 30th anniversary, the band have not only embraced their illustrious past when peforming at last year's Isle of Wight festival, T In The Park and V Festivals but also honoured the life and times of original lead singer, guitarist and co-founder Stuart Adamson, who passed away so tragically in 2001. Taking on the role of lead singer is Mike Peters of fellow Celtic rockers The Alarm and Jamie Watson (son of Bruce) also on guitar, continuing the twin guitar feature the band were known for.
After 20 years, 10 studio albums, five greatest hits compilations, 34 chart singles, 15 million record sales worldwide and performing in front of millions of fans, when time was called on The Beautiful South in 2008, not everyone was ready to leave the party. Dave Hemingway and Ali Wheeler, lead singers with the band – along with departed songwriter Paul Heaton – were having too much fun to get out the pipe and slippers, and so The South was formed.
Joining the duo were fellow mainstays from the original band: keyboard wizard Damon Butcher and the potent horn section of Gaz Birtles and Tony Robinson that brought so much to the live shows. Armed with a sensational back catalogue of hits such as 'Song For Whoever', 'Perfect Ten', 'Rotterdam', 'Don't Marry Her', 'You Keep It All In', 'Old Red Eyes Is Back' and many others, The South have continued to delight their original fan base and attract many others with their stunning live shows.
Known affectionately as The Bard of Barking, Billy Bragg has been a permanent fixture on the music scene since his debut release, Life's a Riot with Spy Vs. Spy was released in 1983. Bragg has produced memorable hit singles like 'Between The Wars' and 'Sexuality' and penned 'A New England'- a hit for the late Kirsty MacColl. He has also worked with American act Wilco on a project covering American musical legend Woody Guthrie and explored musical avenues that have seen him perform ska, punk and English folk music. Billy Bragg has never been a performer afraid to take chances. He also remains one of the UK's most outspoken political songwriters with racism, sexism, corruption and most recently, the banks, all falling victim to his spiky lyrical barbs.
Seth Lakeman is a contemporary folk tour de force. A multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and singer who as well as being nominated for a Mercury Prize for his second album Kitty Jay in 2004 has toured with The Levellers, Jethro Tull and Jools Holland. Lakeman has continued to enjoy chart success for each consecutive album including his most recent Tales From The Barrel House.
The Bootleg Beatles are widely regarded as the best and most authentic Beatles tribute act in the UK. Since their formation in 1980 they have performed an incredible 4000+ live shows, presenting the entire musical time span of the original Beatles' career. Summer 2012 marks the 55th anniversary of the day when John Lennon met Paul McCartney and the world of music changed forever.
Also appearing on the main stage are UK world music and dance fusion pioneers Transglobal Underground, America folk and bluegrass act Larkin Poe, Duke Spirit – the incendiary UK rock act led by the distinctive voice of Liela Moss, and Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo – the UK-based Australian singer-songwriter and her in-demand band.
More acts will be announced soon and tickets go on sale on April 2.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals hire Steve Keim as GM
The Arizona Cardinals' search for a new general manager has ended, as the team has tabbed vice president of player personnel Steve Keim for the post.
"As I went through the process over the last week or so of evaluating the field of candidates, speaking to people, both inside of our training facility and outside, I became more and more convinced that Steve Keim was the right man to become the general manager of the Arizona Cardinals," team president Michael Bidwill said Tuesday.
Keim has been with the Cardinals organization since 1999 in various capacities including scout, director of college scouting and director of player personnel. During the last two NFL offseasons, Keim has been a target of other teams seeking new general managers. Keim was a favorite for the Jacksonville job before the Cardinals hired him, but he knew where he ultimately wanted to be.
"Me and my wife talked, my family talked, and this is where we wanted to be all along, and I made that clear to Michael Bidwill from the start," Keim said at his press conference. "You go on these trips and you interview with other teams -- it's a great learning process and the two things that I'd say, that I probably learned the most was when I landed in Phoenix, I realized this is my home and I'm a Cardinal at heart."
Keim's first charge will be helping the organization hire a new head coach. Ken Whisenhunt was fired following a disappointing 5-11 campaign that included a nine-game losing streak. It was the Cardinals' third straight non-winning season following two NFC West championships and a trip to the Super Bowl.
After that, Keim will spearhead the Cardinals' efforts to revamp an offense that ranked last in the NFL in total yardage and 31st in points scored. Keim said finding a quarterback that can jump-start the offense is paramount.
"The bottom line is getting consistency out of that position," he said. "Kevin (Kolb) has done some good things, he's shown some flashes. That being said, the consistency and the durability are questions. That's something we're going to address with the new head coach and that's something that's obviously at the top of our list."
The search for a new general manager began December 31 when the team parted ways with Rod Graves, who had led the Cardinals' personnel department since 2003. The team suffered through a 5-11 campaign in 2012, which led to the front office shakeup.
"In 1999, Rod Graves took a chance on a young scout," Keim said. "His guidance, his friendship, it's something that I'll always appreciate."
