Jan Waugh created a rhyming story that became a family classic decades ago, when her son Nicholas was small.
Now Nicholas is grown and expecting his first child, and Waugh has commemorated the occasion by putting the family story down on paper.
Waugh published A Banana Split for Nicholas in late August, working with illustrator Lizzie Mahoney and Howell Printing of Aiken. The 14-page picture book is priced at $4.99 and is available at Booklovers Bookstore, Betsy Wilson-Mahoneys art studio on Hayne Avenue, 3 Monkeys Fine Gifts, Pitter Patter Childrens Boutique and the St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church bookstore.
It was over 30 years ago, when my son was a toddler and was just beginning to talk. Hed request a banana split for dinner every night. It didnt matter what I made, thats what always asked for. Id just say this story to him, like a poem, Waugh said. Hes now about to become a father, and I wanted to do something special for him, so this summer I pulled the story out of my desk and made a little book of it.
As a first-time author, Waugh asked around for advice from fellow authors Betsy Wilson-Mahoney and Leslie Alexander, Booklovers owner Fran Bush and, via email, childrens author Vonda Skelton. She quickly opted for printing a small run herself rather than working with a small press and, at Wilson-Mahoneys suggestion, made contact via email with Wilson-Mahoneys daughter Lizzie, a USC student in Columbia.
I sent her the story, and she drew up a picture and sent it to me online, Waugh said. Thats what became the front cover, that first picture. It was just perfect it looks just like my son did, and she doesnt even know him.
Howell Printing produced an initial run of 300 copies of the book. The first copy went to Nicholas and Waughs grandchild-to-be, and the second went to her granddaughter.
She then put copies in stores for sale and recently made appearances with the book at Mead Halls book fair and read to the schools first- and second-grade classes. She plans a book reading and signing at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, at the Aiken County Public Library.
I did the book as a personal gift, but, once it was done, I realized Id have to sell a few books to recoup the printing costs, she said. Its been selling well, and people say its funny, beautifully illustrated and heartwarming.
Waugh said she has an idea for a sequel but has not put pen to paper yet.
Im very pleased with the book, she said. You could say its been something Ive enjoyed sharing with family and friends.

After being dominated by Gray Station for years, the Clifton Ridge Lady Cougars took a 5-4 victory over the Lady Hounds Monday in their first regular season matchup this year. The game was shortened to five innings due to rain.
The two teams met a week ago in a preseason tournament, and Gray Station won 11-1. But this time Clifton Ridge took advantage of some Lady Hound errors and added a few timely hits and aggressive base-running to secure the victory.
The two teams meet again on Sept. 20.
"Sometimes the softball gods are in your favor, and they were this day," Clifton Ridge coach Rebecca Busbee said. "We knew that the weather was coming in and were hoping that it would hold off long enough to get the game in. However, the rain didn't hold off, but we were able to get the game through the fifth inning, making it a complete game."
Gray Station jumped ahead with three runs in the top of the first with a couple of singles, two walks, four stolen bases, a sacrifice fly and a Clifton Ridge error.

The Luxury Hotel of Barcelona
El Palace Hotel has been totally refurbished and opened again in late 2009 as a renovated grand luxury hotel.
The works have preserved the classic spirit that has always characterized this luxury property, distinguished as a symbol of Barcelona's hotel tradition. Set in the heart of the city center, close to Las Ramblas and in the most prestigious shopping area, it is surrounded by boulevards, boutiques and main attractions.
First opened in 1919 with a neo-classical façade and grand public areas , considered Barcelona's most distinguished iconic hotel for over 90 years , the hotel reopened with 125 new luxury rooms , 42 of them being Suites and Junior Suites.
A new room design, a soft interior re-decoration of public areas and lounges and the realignment and optimization of the architectural infrastructure enhance the beauty , majesty and luxury of our Hotel like in the 20's.
The Caelis Restaurant, awarded with a Michelin Star is part of El Palace, with a full offer of top-class cuisine. Clients can also enjoy our 19/NINETEEN Restaurant located at the Hall of the hotel and the emblematic cocktail bar Bluesman.
El Palace has launched the Mayan Luxury Spa and Fitness Room, a unique spa with a Temazcal Sauna, exclusive in Europe .
"Work of art"
Back in the 1920"s at the El Palace.
My first taste of Barcelona...
I just had an overnight stay on 12/20/14,few days after my birthday and few days after my long trip from Tokyo.
I have been fascinated with classical luxury...so when I discover El Palace,
I know it right then that I will definitely wanted to be part of it"s history.
So,arriving at the hotel after I checked in,I met Julie,one of the sweetest lady I"ve ever met.
She gave me a quick hotel tour from the grand lobby all the way to my room.
Plus!I got a surprise birthday gift...a bottle of wine and an upgrade!
So cool!
The moment I step into the hotel,
I"ve wished of living there for the rest of my life...
Everything is a work of art.
It is our first trip to Barcelona and we stayed 5 nights at El Palace.
Love the hotel! Truly classy, immaculate rooms, great location!
Service is the best, from the doorman, the bartender, the housekeeping team and most wonderful, the Conceirge! Everyone was graceful and so professional!
They are always eager to help and so resourceful. All the restaurants they recommended are superb! We had a most wonderful stay!
Special thanks go to Francisco and Alexis of the Concierge. They are truly the gem of El Palace!
We will definitely be back!
Thank you very much for the excellent holidays we spent in your hotel in August 2014. It was amazing time!!! We also thank you very much for you warm welcome and for the unexpected but SO LOVELY surprise!!! )))
Ruslan Tsarajev & Irina Tjapkina
"Excellent hotel!"
We arrived in the morning and our room was ready, so we took advantage of having a few hours resting in our beautful, spacious room! The best linens and towels in a spacious marble bathroom. The inviting lobby is adorned with luxurious couches , chairs, tables and chandeliers. The staff, concierge and front desk are first rate and very helpful.
The dining room is beautifully decorated, just off the lobby. Food and service excellent. I must say, the bar tender made the most generous gin and tonic, poured at tableside that I have ever had the pleasure of consuming.
The location is excellent for walking the city and shopping.
"Wonderful experiance"
We stayed here as the final stop on a 2 week plus vacation. It was a great place to unwind and prepare to head for home. There are several must see locations with in walking distance. Go see the Barcelona Music Hall. La Sagrada Familia is a good walk but worth it. Several Gaudi buildings are close by. The Picasso Museum is close as is the old district with some wonder shops and restaurants. Don"t miss the Barcelona Cathedral. The accommodations were wonderful. They upgraded us to a suite. The bed was very comfortable, the staff very professional and courteous. They serve a buffet Breakfast every morning in the courtyard that is to die for. Will definitely stay here again if we return to Barcelona

Thursday, September 12, 2013
Deitrick Sims, 32, of North Charleston came to firefighting by way of teaching.
He grew up in Atlanta, graduated from Sumter High School, graduated from Central State University in Dayton, OH with a Bachelor's degree in English. In fact, although he had a graduate assistantship and was working on his Master's Degree, he left it all for love.
"Allison was in college at the University of Charleston," he explains, "so I left school and came here."
So he taught middle school – seventh and eighth grade – at Scott's Branch Middle School outside of Sumter.
It was a hefty commute of 50 miles each way…he and his wife live in North Charleston.
"A friend, Cpt. Seabrook, works for Charleston and we talked and he showed me the opportunities for firefighting and how firefighting matched my skill set," he explains.
So he left teaching, and went to Charleston Fore Department and began training. He was with CFD for six months.
A month ago, he accepted a job with Summerville Fire Department.
"I miss teaching a little bit," says Sims, "but I am very comfortable and very happy here – I like having an impact on the community, helping to save lives, and so forth."
"I think when people know we are there to help them and their families, it makes a difference. We impact the community in myriad ways and it's huge."
Sims has trained for EMT, haz-mat ops, he is an Incident Safety Officer, has had Emergency Vehicle Driver Training, National Incident Management Systems – Incident Command Systems training as well as training in building construction and PICO.
He rides backwards behind the captain. Depending on when his truck arrives at a fire (and what kind of fire it is) he might pull lines [hoses] or maybe be on the RIT [Rapid Intervention Team] team.
"Every scenario is based on the structure and what we find when we arrive," he explains.
When he isn't working, he is busy with his family, his wife and two little girls – Jordyn, 2, and Zoey, 1.
His wife is a massage therapist with the Center for Therapeutic Massage and an impressive client list – U.S. Women's Soccer Team and the World Tennis Association Family Circle Cup as well as several corporations.
At home he likes doing yard work, coaching basketball – he is the varsity coach at Porter Gaud School in Charleston – studying (he is still on probation at SFD so he has lots of studying to do), fishing (he eats them) and reading a wide range of fiction, nonfiction and articles.
He also plays football Saturday mornings with the pastor of Faith Assembly in Summerville.
But his favorite pastime is cooking…from scratch.
He cooks at home and he cooks at the firehouse.
"I make meals at the station and the guys critique them…we've had some really good meals!"
He also will go out in the community – to rec centers – and talk with youth, he says.
"I try to be a role model, help kids with decisions and making good choices. He works with his church fellowship helping kids with challenging backgrounds, he says.
One day, he says, he might like to become a Battalion Chief and, on the way to that, an engineer and captain.
"But first, I want to become seasoned and respected by my peers, then I want to carry on the legacy of the great guys I work with."

|The most helpful favorable review
|The most helpful critical review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
By Ben from USA on 2011-05-23 10:43:14Things I liked:Awesome power.
Things I would have changed:Lighten the trigger pull, an adjustable trigger would be nice and would contribute greatly towards it's accuracy. Many times while pulling the trigger to shoot I find myself stopping and looking down at the safety to see if its on, it's not. It feels that heavy.
What others should know:This .50 cal. dragon claw is a serious weapon. I got this air rifle to hunt feral hogs and after shooting over 500 rounds through it at various targets, I have no doubt that it has more than enough power to do the job, with well placed shots. It easily punches through 2x4s at 35 yards using 188gr. round balls. As it has started to break in now after 500 rounds the max velocity has gone up a bit, with a 188gr. round ball max velocity is between 750-785 fps for the first 2 shots, with a 3,000 psi fill the 1st 4 shots usually all stay above 700 fps. If you plan on using .50 cal round ball don't get the .490, they will just roll down and out the barrel when you till it down and if you shoot them your velocity will be around 135 fps. The .495 fit better with about 8 out of every hundred that will be too loose. Most .495 round balls acually mic out to .492. I started casting my own using a Lee double cavity .500 (LEE-500-DC)mold, (trackofthewolf.com)is where I got my mold. These mic out to .500-.503 @ 188gr. I get the best accuacy with these at 1.5" - 2.5" at 35yds when I do my part. Also this air rifle "IS VERY LOUD!" Overall I highly recommend this air rifle, good looking, good accuacy, and awesome power. Buy it if you can.

By doug from USA on 2013-07-08 14:38:57Things I liked:I love the power ! even the load Bang !
Things I would have changed:The price , the fact that it is only a single shot gun ! better range of ammunition to be used.
What others should know:I have had a air leak & the cocking bolt was replaced as-well due to how it slams forward when firing, and it was fixed quick and returned to me but came back with the rear wood stock lose as if it is going to break off . how do I tighten this ????

Hello! I am new to API but have been practicing AP since my son was born. He is now 10 months. I was looking locally to see if there was a support group but sadly we do not have a support group in Idaho. I would love to connect with other women in the Boise area that are also practicing AP. I would love to become a leader and start a support group to help other new moms but will be waiting the next 8 months to pursue leadership due to my sons age. Is there anyone out there in Idaho wanting to connect? There must be more than myself in Idaho practicing AP. I look forward to hearing from you!

AP in the Boise, ID Area
I've been practicing AP with my 9 mo dd, and also looking to meet other like minded mamas in the Boise area. It's good to know there are others out there! I'm in Caldwell, and would love to meet sometime.
I have a 5 1/2 mos old son and am practicing AP...although it's been difficult, as he still doesn't sleep through the night and won't take naps. I would love to get together some time...I could use some moral support It seems like everyone I meet is of the Baby Wise persuasion. Yikes! I just moved to Boise from San Diego last year and am still trying to meet new people. I would even consider leading a support group once I find out more about it. Let me know what works for you, and we'll meet up
Yes! Let's meet. It's difficult not knowing like minded moms. Fortunately my husband is 100% on board with AP. Would you like to email me off-list to figure out the details? daybreak 168 AT yahoo dot com.
Hello Everyone!
Sorry I have not been on here in some time! I kept looking to see if anyone was interested and no one but now...YEAH!!!!
I would love for all of us to get together sometime.
How does next week sometime sound? Do days work for you ladies? Say...Tuesday around 11 or is that too close to nap times?
I would love to meet up. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com if anyone wants to meet up.
Where can we meet? I am located in Nampa. Would you like to meet at a park? A good between Canyon County and Ada County park is Meridian Park off Meridian Road by the Speedway. Would this work?
Well email me and let me know if this would work.
I am looking forward to meeting other ladies that share the same parenting style...and support it!
Hi Tamee!
no support group formed... I'm glad you wrote! I'm in Eagle now, and would love to meet sometime. Email me at daybreak168 AT yahoo.com to set up the details? My dd is 21 months and we're AP all the way.

I was saddened to learn that Kent Hovind will be facing a new criminal charge. Many people believe that Doctor Dino's incarceration for tax related crimes was actually a response to his effectiveness as a proponent of "creation science". I remain quite skeptical of that view, since there are several "creation science" organizations with IRS recognized 501(c)(3) status including Creation Today, which is run by Kent's son, Eric. Nonetheless, the latest criminal charge which is scheduled for trial on September 8, 2014 really strikes me as piling it on . First some background.
Creation Science
There are many people who quite understandably consider "creation science" to be an oxymoron. A hyper literal reading of the Bible will lead you to conclude that the world is about six thousand years old. That, of course, is not nearly enough time for evolution to work, but it is not just the biology department where you will get static from that viewpoint. The astronomers and geologists will also give you a hard time. Some people of faith are undisturbed by the apparent contradiction. My sister, for example, is a Catholic nun with a degree in biology who has taught high school science. Evolution does not trouble her, because she sees the Bible as a source of spiritual truth, not as a science textbook.
That type of thinking will not satisfy some. In their view if establishment science contradicts Genesis, then establishment science must be wrong. One neat way out of the conundrum is to believe that God planted physical evidence that contradicts his Word, to test our faith. More common is to look for evidence that supports the Genesis account. Much of the evidence that geologists view as supporting an "old earth" is explained by the Flood. The latest story is about a scientist who found soft tissue in a dinosaur bone. That is either inconsistent with dinosaurs being extinct for millions of years or evidence that soft tissue can last a lot longer than people thought. My money is on the latter, but that's just me.
Kent Hovind's Tax Travails
Dinosaurs running around at the same time as people was important to Kent Hovind, hence his nickname, Doctor Dino. He had a theme park going called Dinosaur Adventure Land. It was the operation of Dinosaur Adventure Land that was the source of Kent's tax troubles. He considered the operation a tax-exempt ministry and was apparently not filing income tax returns himself. He considered the people working there to be "missionaries" and did not withhold or pay payroll taxes. The largest number of counts in his criminal indictment were for "structuring" – dealing in amounts of cash less than $10,000 to skirt currency reporting requirements.
Kent Hovind has had quite a few lawsuits going protesting his criminal conviction, the finding of the Tax Court on his civil liability and the ways in which he has been treated. Many of the documents are available on his 2 Peter 3 website. My most constant commenter, Robert Baty, bane of the basketball ministers, administers a facebook page that follows developments in the Hovind drama.
The Latest Criminal Charge
The latest criminal charge relates to the efforts that the IRS has been making to collect from Kent Hovind. Real property in Pensacola had been forfeited to the government. In 2012, there was an injunction against Creation Science Evangelism and its representative and agents from seeking to file liens on the forfeited property. Nonetheless, a lien was filed – a lis pendens. I had to look that up.
In US law, a lis pendens is a written notice that a lawsuit has been filed concerning real estate, involving either the title to the property or a claimed ownership interest in it. The notice is usually filed in the county land records office. Recording a lis pendens against a piece of property alerts a potential purchaser or lender that the property's title is in question, which makes the property less attractive to a buyer or lender. After the notice is filed, anyone who nevertheless purchases the land or property described in the notice takes subject to the ultimate decision of the lawsuit.
The notice indicates that the filing of the lis pendens constitutes criminal contempt and has scheduled a trial on September 8, 2014.
Is This Piling On?
I'm inclined to think it is. Being in prison and all it's not like Kent could have gone down to the court house himself to file the thing. Kent Hovind has filed a motion in which he outlines why he thinks he is being picked on indicating that he:
… has filed pleadings in the courts and with the Department of Treasury which reveal in detail the government actors' misconduct in willfully suppressing evidence of his innocence of the crimes he was found guilty of….
This "renewed" contempt order, made at the end of the petitioner's 10 year sentence after the government has liquidated the properties which form the basis for the 2012 injunction, creates a rebuttable presumption that this July 8, 2014 motions is retaliation against the petitioner for him exercising his constitutional right to redress and appeal in furtherance of exposing the government's aforementioned misconduct.
Here is a little more discussion from his the viewpoint of his supporters.
Having Kent Hovind do more time for having something filed that did not do him any good seems to be a poor use of government resources. If he has a jury trial and is acquitted, which strikes me as a distinct possibility, it will be trumpeted as a major victory in the tax protester community. (Note Kent Hovind does not consider himself a tax protester). If he is convicted and sentenced to serve more time, he will be viewed as a martyr. Either way I don't see this effort as encouraging people to be more tax compliant, which is really the point of criminal prosecution.

Katonka: The great health care failWritten by Guest Author | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By Michael Katonka
No matter how hard I tried, I could never make the high school's baseball team. All 220 pounds of me could never run, jump, hit or pitch well enough to be selected to represent Westlake High School on the diamond. Eventually, even the sight of me at early spring tryouts was met with eye rolls of the coach who, to this day, I would love to beat within an inch of his life. Every year was met with the same result, always a disappointing beginning to the summer.
While not making the team might have had more to do with my love for recreational drugs, easy high school girls and alcohol, after a while, I realized that I was much better at partying and watching my hometown team lose, than actually playing myself. If a 17-year-old can cut through the clouds of smoke poring out of his mom's minivan and reach the maturity of knowing he is not meant to be an athlete, then why can't Democrats understand that socialized medicine is a big loser for them whenever it is attempted?
For conservatives, the battle lines drawn over health care reform have given the GOP the greatest gift since we were suddenly able to make continuous jokes about driving with Ted Kennedy anywhere near a body of water. The fact of the matter is that without the socialistic lean of the Democratic Party in regard to health care reform, some of the most influential conservatives of the past 20 years would have left a much less dramatic effect on both the movement and the country.
Let's assume that the Clinton administration never pushed for health reform in the early 1990s. It is not much of a stretch to say that without the fear of socialized medicine, and having to listen to Hillary nag and screech her way threw the nightly news for months, the budget wouldn't have balanced, and Newt would still be the name of your grandma's favorite cookie.
Fast forward 20 years or so, and dramatic changes of political leadership are once again a direct result of failed health care policy. New conservative heavyweights such as Marco Rubio, Allen West, Susana Martinez, Michele Bachman and Chris Christie would not nearly carry the weight that they do. Not only can Republicans thank health care reform for these fresh new conservative faces, we can now look forward to an even brighter future of conservative leadership, paid for by the wasted political capital of the 111th congress.
The sole difference between the health care debate of the early 1990s and now, and the greatest reason for new conservative optimism, is the reality that what started as the ultimate pipe dream of hippies, unrepentant terrorists and inner city welfare peddlers is that now the law of the land. If the mere threat of a universal health system in the United States was able to produce the Republican revolution that held the Clinton administration at bay, it failed to produce leadership at all levels of government.
With Obamacare now a legal reality, the fading of the issue from the mind of the 1996 electorate, which lead to four more stimulating years of Clinton, is not likely to repeat in 2012. Unless you assume that every voter who rejected this type of legislation in the past is dead, you have to accept the fact that they will, in all likelihood, reject socialized medicine again this fall. By upholding the law, the Supreme Court could quite possibly kept the issue alive long enough to achieve Republican majorities in all three branches of government.
If the past is any indicator, the staunch conservative products of health reform will have a coming out in 2012 that would make Anderson Cooper's closet as jealous as it has been since Anderson went to Columbia with the Secret Service. As I found out in high school that partying more often than not prevents success, the right should be heartened by the fact that wherever socialized medicine pokes its head out of the ground, fresh new conservative icons emerge to knock it down.

PDT Staff Writer
In Scioto County alone more than 1,800 families families are eligible for the American Opportunity Tax Credit, but do not claim it—leaving thousands of dollars on the table. So with less than one month until Tax Day, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) held a news conference call to alert Ohioans to free tax preparation services and critical – but often unclaimed – tax credits that could help them save thousands of dollars.
"More than 32,000 Ohioans did not file tax returns for 2009, leaving more than $26 million in unclaimed tax refunds on the table – with a median refund check of $561," Brown said. "Ohioans have until April 15 to file back taxes to claim these refunds by filing back taxes."
Brown said April 15 is also the deadline for Ohioans to file their 2012 taxes and claim important credits that help middle class and working families make ends meet, care for their children, and afford the cost of higher education. In announcing how many Ohio families failed to claim the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) — which allows parents to deduct up to $2,500 from their tax bill or receive a refund of up to $1,000 per student for higher education expenses — Brown said more than 1,800 of those families reside in Scioto County. He said working Ohioans also lost out on $532,644,000 through the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
To aid in the effort to get Ohioans to claim the tax credit, Brown is introducing new legislation, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Act of 2013 (VITA Act), which provides grants to volunteer assistance sites that help middle-class and low-income Ohioans file their tax returns. Brown also announced the creation of a new webpage, www.brown.senate.gov/services/tax-tips which provides tax tips and information on tax credits, free filing and preparation services that benefit low- and moderate-income taxpayers in one, easy to navigate place.
"Every year Ohioans work hard and deserve to know how they can save themselves and their families money," Brown said. "Filing taxes is complicated enough and saving money you've earned should be easy. So my new webpage is informative and user friendly, and VITA sites offer tax help for low-to-moderate income families so they can claim important tax credits that become more groceries, gas money, and money pumped into the local economy."
VITA volunteer tax preparers offer free tax help to low-to-moderate income individuals and help them claim credits aimed to help working families, including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC).

The American College of the Building Arts (ACBA) announces that the construction of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Special Collections Room in the Byrne-Diderot Library has been completed. The collection is now in use by the students and faculty of the College, and available to the general public.
ACBA received a grant from the DAR to build a climate-controlled environment to house more than 600 volumes of rare and historic books and tools related to the classic building trades. Many items in the special collection are historical descriptions of building processes dating to the 18th century. The books are truly unique on an international level and of interest to preservationists and scholars the world over. Researchers will have access to the collection through an Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) on the library's website, http://www.buildingartscollege.us/Academics/library.html.
Colby M. Broadwater, III, president of ACBA said, "We are deeply appreciative of the DAR making this Special Collections Room possible. These are important works and they deserve to be treated with the utmost respect and care."
The American College of the Building Arts, the only four year liberal arts college in America training and educating artisans in the traditional building trades, was awarded a grant by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in the amount of $9,400 on June 25. Funding for this project was made possible through the sponsorship of The Fort Sullivan Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, located in Charleston.
The project involved reuse of a specific area in the Old Charleston District Jail by sectioning off a portion of the existing library using glass-paned French doors, erecting insulated interior walls, installing metal shelving, painting and incorporating humidity- and temperature-control devices.
ACBA held a grand opening reception on Thursday, Sept. 12.
The DAR grants program was started in 2010. Funding is awarded to support projects in local communities that promote the organization's mission areas of historic preservation, education and patriotism. This grant encompasses all the mission areas.

SLU Orthopaedic Surgeon Receives Purple Heart
Between Tours of Duty, Air Force Maj. Erik Nott Cares for Patients, Teaches at SLU
ST. LOUIS -- Air Force Maj. Erik Nott, M.D., a SLUCare orthopaedic surgeon at Saint Louis University Hospital, received the Purple Heart on Monday, Nov. 7 after being wounded in Afghanistan last May.
|Air Force Col. James Slife pins the Purple Heart to the lapel of Maj. Erik Nott, M.D., an associate professor of orthopaedic surgery, who was wounded in Afghanistan.
Nott is a member of an elite, eight-person medical operations unit that provides close support for military troops on special missions. When not deployed, Nott, who is an assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery at SLU, teaches residents and medical school students at SLU and cares for patients at Saint Louis University Hospital. During the past four years, Nott has been on missions in Afghanistan, Haiti, Croatia and Africa.
The home base for the unit -- one of two pilot programs in the nation that could reshape future military medical care -- is Hurlburt Field in Florida.
At a briefing to colleagues from SLU and SLU Hospital that explained the presence on campus of the military medical operations unit, Nott discussed his military decoration.
"I was actually pretty lucky," he said.
Wounded in Afghanistan
Nott was wounded on May 29, 2011 in northwestern Afghanistan, when a joint team of Army and Marine special forces and their supporting medical personnel was attacked by enemy rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine gun fire. Just a few hours earlier, Nott had been part of the medical team that worked to save the life of an 18-month-old girl who had burns over 35 percent of her body.
"Her father, having learned of the special operations surgical team (SOST) and special operations critical care evacuation team (SOCCET) presence in the village, brought her to them in hopes of receiving the urgent medical care only they could provide," Air Force Capt. Olivia Jackson, a critical care nurse with the 1st Special Operations Support Squadron/Operations Special Medical Element, said at the Purple Heart ceremony in Florida.
"After a successful procedure, three team members remained in the treatment room to recover the patient while Maj. Nott and the rest of the team went back out into the compound."
As the military medical personnel walked away from their most recent patient, gunshots rang out. Under enemy attack, Nott recognized the severity of the situation and grabbed two of his teammates, sending them into the nearest structure as the marine special operations team and special forces snipers returned fire.
"Thinking only about his teammates, Maj. Nott then placed himself between them and the direction of fire and as they rapidly crossed an open area, he was hit by a bullet in the lower leg," Jackson said.
"Fortunately Maj. Nott's wound was minor; the bullet having missed his bone by only a millimeter. He was quickly treated by the special operations surgical team's general surgeon and returned to full duty, staying with his team for the remainder of the tour."
Deflecting attention
Nott acknowledged that not everyone would have opted to remain with his or her unit after being injured.
"I didn't want to leave and disrupt the team," he said. "The doctors numbed it with Lidocaine, stitched it up, covered it and I kept it clean. I just kept doing my thing."
The Purple Heart, which is the oldest U.S. military decoration currently in use, is awarded to those who have been wounded or lost their lives during armed conflict or as a result of terrorist action. Nott deflected the attention brought by the Purple Heart.
"Our battlefield airmen, marines, soldiers and sailors risk their lives on a daily basis and routinely face dangers like direct machine gun fire on buildings and IEDs on patrol and accept it as part of their job. That's real courage," he said.
"We have the privilege of being with the finest trained fighters. If anything bad were to happen, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."
Presence at SLU
The medical military team spent the spring and summer in Afghanistan, and is on call for deployment at least one time a year, and more if needed. Their goal is to reach wounded service members quickly to stabilize and treat them within an hour of their injuries, then help transport them to a larger medical center for more definitive surgery. Consequently, the medical military team is stationed close to the thick of the action. The medical team also treats civilians.
"We're there to save lives. We're not there to do any fancy fixation. We're the Air Forces' hidden secret when it comes to medicine," Nott said. "We're on active duty and our motto is 'any time, any place.'"
The unit is trained to serve in any environment and provide trauma and critical care. They mobilize quickly. For instance they arrived in Haiti less than 24 hours after last year's earthquake struck.
"There are a limited number of people who want to go where things are dirty and nasty and practice medicine," Nott acknowledged. "We're not afraid to go places where other people don't want to go."
The Air Force medical team includes an orthopaedic surgeon, general surgeon, anesthetist, critical care nurse, respiratory therapist, surgical technician and two emergency medicine physicians.
On the home front, the medical military personnel operate as a team, keeping their skills sharp at Saint Louis University Hospital, a Level 1 trauma center, which treats the most critical and severely injured emergency patients. All team members have faculty appointments.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, infectious disease, liver disease, aging and brain disease and heart/lung disease.

Gilbert Melendez finds 15-minute silver lining on path back to UFC title fight
"I'm excited to fight three five-minute rounds," Melendez recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "Initially after I lost, the first thing on my mind more than anything was, 'Heck yeah 15 minutes, that's way easier.' I've been training for 25-minute fights my last 10 fights, and it's kind of tough on the body."
And because Melendez has indeed been in 10 straight title fights going the full 25 minutes six times he'll get a welcome training reprieve now, while trying to work his way back to where he wants to be, and that's back in another title fight.
The road back there for Melendez (21-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) starts against Diego Sanchez (24-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) in October at UFC 166 in Houston, a fight booking first reported by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
That's a matchup Melendez thinks could get him in the title picture once again with a win.
"I think he has that mystique he's a big name and he's a tough guy," Melendez said. "I think it'll be a good win for me. Of course you want to win the belt, but I'd like to just beat every 155-pounder out there. It's fresh for me. I'd love to fight (Donald) 'Cowboy' (Cerrone). I'd love to fight Gray (Maynard) and beat them all. (But Sanchez is) the first 'Ultimate Fighter' winner, he's been around the sport a long time and he's one of the most popular fighters out there."
Melendez won Strikeforce's 155-pound title in 2006 with a win over Clay Guida. After losing it to Josh Thomson two years later, he went on to win seven straight title fights before his loss to Henderson, a fight that had Strikeforce champ vs. UFC champ bragging rights implications.
But Melendez isn't thinking revenge against Henderson even though many scoring the fight had it for him, not the champ. If Henderson loses the belt to Anthony Pettis next month, Melendez will fight whoever has the title.
"It doesn't really matter to me I'm just kind of gunning for the title," he said. "I'm not like, 'Oh, I need to get Benson.' The goal now is to get the title, I think, and hopefully get that and beat everybody else. I think (two fights), or maybe in one (I can be back in a title fight). I think it could happen, but I've got to keep winning. But hopefully mine's (as little) as two fights away."
In his past eight fights, Sanchez has five "Fight of the Night" bonuses mostly because of a propensity to throw down with wild abandon. If the fight goes in that direction, Melendez believes he can stand right in and keep things going his way.
"He's that guy who when he's pushed and challenged, he gets caught in it and it becomes a scrap," Melendez said. "I feel like I shine in that, as well. I think I'm intelligent in that area and I'll do good there with him."

FARGO, N.D. (January 4, 2013)--The presidents of North Dakota State University and Sam Houston State have made a friendly wager on the outcome of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision title game.
Depending on the outcome of the game Saturday, either NDSU President Dean Bresciani or Sam Houston State President Dana Gibson will provide a steak dinner and give a concession speech on YouTube.
The teams meet Saturday in Frisco to decide the championship.
They also played for the title last year and NDSU came out on top.
Gibson sent Bresciani a steak dinner and wore a Bison jersey for her concession video.
On Thursday, U.S. Sens. John Hoeven of North Dakota and John Cornyn of Texas made a similar wager on the game.
If NDSU wins, Cornyn will give Hoeven some Texas steaks and if Sam Houston State prevails, Hoeven will give Cornyn some North Dakota bison steaks.

Official Google Voice for iPhone hits iTunes App Store
Google's official Google Voice app for iPhone has just hit the iTunes App Store.
- Access your Google Voice account right from your iPhone.
- Receive push notifications for new text or voicemail messages.
- Send free text messages to U.S. numbers and make international calls at cheap rates.
- Listen to your voicemail, read transcripts and manage your Google Voice inbox.
- Display your Google Voice number as caller ID when making calls.
- Call contacts from your iPhone Address Book or enter new numbers on the dialpad.
- A Google Voice account is required to use this app. To sign up go to www.google.com/voice.
- Google Voice is only available in the United States.
Wow, who thought we'd ever get to type those words? While the last bullet point is a bit of a bummer, there's no denying this ends one of the darker chapters of iOS and App Store history -- which included an FCC investigation and revealed the first cracks in what had previously been an Apple/Google love-fest.
If you're trying it out let us know how you like it and how it compares to GV Mobile and other 3rd party offerings.
Now where's the official Gmail app?

Official Google Voice for iPhone hits iTunes App Store
Ohhh I love these push notifications for texts. Really considering dropping my texting plan now!!
Link? I searched and it's not there!
For some reason, you need to search the App Store for "googlevoice," not "google voice." Weird
ITS NOT UNDER GOOGLE VOICE!!, its under googelvoice :)
Too bad voice is only available on US :(
Searching for "googlevoice" and not "google voice" did the trick on my iphone. I'm so excited. lol
Took me a while to figure this out, but when typing googlevoice into the search screen on my iPhone, it auto populated search results until there are none, but when I kept typing anyway, then hit the search button, it finally found it.
How about an official google talk app now?
Searching "Google Voice" will find it, its just that it is buried about three pages deep.
@Chip: Plus One for Google Talk. Its more or less replaced SMS for me, and its free world wide.
@Gary: Name appears if the person is in your Google Contacts. If you aren't syncing your iPhone Contacts with your Google Contacts I don't think you get name.
Other than unlimited free texting (which isn't really that big a deal) this app isn't worth anything unless it works over data. When that day comes it will be interesting to see how many people say bye to their carriers - my guess - a lot :)
Don't plan on saying goodbye to your carriers any time soon.
You would still need them for the data pipe. (Er, ah, the Tube says Mr Stevens, RIP).
Personally I think the sooner this happens the better, and with LTE we will come closer to the day when the Carriers realize there is more money in data than there is in Voice.
@jt, that's what GV Mobile+ does as well, for whatever reason when you attempt to dial a number with the official GV App it direct dials out to an American number and once connected says "unable to connect your call". GV Mobile+ uses the call you method, once answered dials your desired number.
Apologies. Spoke to soon. I still have the same question as Vietalogy. Signed into Google Voice on the web, went to Settings, then Voicemail & Text. Nothing is checked for forwarding SMS, but my Google Voice texts are still being delivered to BOTH the Google Voice app and to the standard Messages app for iPhone. Did I miss something? How can I turn off text forwarding to the Messages app, and have them delivered only to the Google Voice app? Thanks!
3rd time's the charm. It's necessary to log into Google Voice online, go to Settings, then Phones (not Voicemail & Texts), choose your iPhone mobile number, click Edit, then uncheck the box for "Receive text messages on this phone". Problem solved. No more duplicate text message delivery to both Google Voice app and iPhone's Message app.
Very disappointing. The interface is virtually unusable. No way to easily send texts. I'm glad it's free. I'm deleting this and going back to GV Mobile +
Looks like they've limited the app to the iPhone only. Wonder if this is pressure from Apple?
Is anyone else noticing it doesn't cache history items? This really is less usable than the other two apps. It kind of looks and behaves like they are using an embedded web browser to load the history data. This is a shame because the push notifications are sweet, but this almost feels more like a web app than a true cocoa based app.
I agree with Charlie. Not having history items cached is a real PAIN. The push notifications are nice but even on wifi, loading the history items is SLOOOOOOWWWWW!!! Google needs to fix this and maybe consider a more intuitive layout.
Until these issues are addressed (mainly the non-caching of data) I'm going to stick with GV Connect (which hasn't failed me yet) and use Notifo for PUSH notifications.
Every time I see a good post I do a few things:1.Share it with my relevant contacts.2.Bookmark it in all my popular social bookmarking websites.3.Make sure to return to the same website where I came accross the article.After reading this article I'm really concidering going ahead and doing all 3...
Now he wanna be Meek Mills lol Bow Wow the People don't care for you because you have not been yourself since you left JD who is Boww Wowwww we don't know you!!

Jonathan Brewer, a rising JROTC senior at Surry Central High School, attended the Future Leader Camp (FLC), a two-week leadership development program for high school students held at Norwich University in Vermont, during the summer of 2012.
The goal of FLC is to instill the basic concepts of small group leadership principles and techniques, teamwork, problem solving and effective communications while enhancing a sense of self-confidence, self-respect and self-discipline, Jonathan met all requirements. He has served as team leader for his 10-person team and was evaluated by the counselors.
Extreme physical challenges include 7 mile hikes over Mt. Ascutney and climbing and rappelling the 80 ft rock face of Deer Leap Mountain. Any young man attending a program as physically challenging as FLC and then be held accountable for the supervision and needs of 10 individuals is an exceptional challenge and achievement.
Jonathan Brewer has been accepted into the Corps of Cadets and into the program of physics for the fall 2013 term. His academic background, participation in activities, honors, accomplishments and personal character traits were all carefully weighted in the decision to invite him to attend Norwich University.
