As members of the Medical Staff Leadership Council for the hospitals that comprise the Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH) system, we want to make you aware of the hardships that threaten both our patients and our ability to adequately operate practices and provide timely care since the Kentucky Medicaid program was switched on Nov. 1, 2011, to the current Medicaid managed-care system.
Since the managed-care system went into effect, we now must juggle our responsibility to provide care to our region's most vulnerable citizens while restructuring the operation of our practices to accommodate lengthy wait times for our patients brought on by complicated, time-consuming pre-approval processes for routine procedures. Collectively, we are now seeing a significant increase in denied patient claims, delays in payments in excess of 90 days, and increases in unpaid accounts receivables amounting to millions of dollars.
Many of our patients are very ill and have sadly been taken on an emotional roller coaster ride as the Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) administering the Medicaid plan have negotiated contracts with providers only to sever those agreements just months into the contracts. This has forced our patients to endure additional worry as they have had to go through the process of changing their MCO plans multiple times just to be able to continue to receive care from their longstanding provider located within their local community.
When the state changed to the managed-care system, it was under the condition that the three MCOs chosen to administer the Medicaid program would provide members with local access to care through an adequate patient care network of providers. Unfortunately, due to these broken contracts with area providers our patients have now been assigned to managed-care plans that do not have adequate networks to provide the healthcare services needed.
Two years ago, a Medicaid patient could go to any hospital in the state for treatment. Today, a Medicaid patient in Eastern Kentucky is lucky if there is even a hospital in their county or a neighboring county where their Medicaid managed-care plan will authorize them for needed treatment.
When you call for precertification authorizations you are calling a call center and most of the time they don't understand healthcare or care about the patient. The process is time consuming and lengthy, it requires one member of your staff to deal with these issues only. At ARH alone, authorizations are often taking as long as two days for MCOs to approve a procedure as simple as an X-ray.
The truth is the majority of the time you get a denial or additional information is needed. This may require the patient to have to come back on another day which results in delays and additional problems.
Our patients are having to sit in our waiting rooms longer and sometimes must be told to go back home until we can get authorization from their MCO to perform the procedure they need. These patients have limited financial resources and issues with transportation already. If the patient has to make arrangements with one of the area's few public transportation companies for a return appointment, they may not be able to get transportation on the day needed, which creates an additional hardship on the patient and the doctor. Sadly, many of these patients do not make the trip back to our office, but rather wait until their medical condition worsens to the point that they must receive emergency care in a hospital setting. These hardships do not disappear after the patient is treated.
Prescribing the medications they need has also become an increasingly difficult process. In the beginning, a list of medications covered by the MCOs was provided, but since the time most of those medications have been deleted, resulting in doctors having to substitute medications with something that is covered or a generic. We as physicians should be able to treat our patients and prescribe the medications they need to get better. We do not want a call center making these decisions for us.
Unfortunately, the Medicaid managed-care plan in Kentucky is not working and is simply unfair to the poor and disabled patients it was created to protect. The patients that are affected by these changes are among our region's most vulnerable - they are very ill or do not have the financial means to travel out of their community to find an MCO-approved provider. Most importantly, they should not be expected to carry a larger burden than patients with the same conditions who are fortunate to have jobs providing commercial insurance.
Our patients need timely medical care not delays. We encourage the state of Kentucky and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to take a step back and re-evaluate the current state of the Kentucky Medicaid program to ease our patients' ability to receive care and to bring about a timely process for authorization and payment to the providers who work diligently to keep these patients healthy.

Public notices need to be where the public notices.
But state legislators and a handful of local government agents want to take legally required public notices advertisements that tell you about major road closings, competitive bids being sought, elections scheduled, important public hearings set, etc. out of the newspapers that have run them for upwards of 200 years, and hide them in plain sight.
They want the public not only to hunt for notices on obscure government websites, they also expect the public to somehow just know that they need to go and look for them. Unless you ask for an email alerting you that a public notice is filed, you won't have any idea anything is happening. Most adults read newspapers or check them out online. Newspapers specialize in bringing the news to you. Let's face it, most government agencies are not known for being all that forthcoming.
And if you have no Internet or broadband access, as is the case in many parts of North Carolina, good luck connecting with these government-run websites. If you are not computer literate, if you are poor, if you live somewhere with no free access to Internet or access at all you will effectively lose your right to know.
If that doesn't scare you, consider this: If this sort of legislation passes and expands to a statewide level, government will police itself, deciding what you need to know … and what they don't want you to know.
History tells us this is bad government, bad public policy – just a very bad idea to anyone who values transparency.
Government unchecked is government unchained.
Who will be there to speak for you and me? One cannot count on the government standing tall for the right to know. Case in point: A state senator recently was so incensed at being questioned by a North Carolina Press Association member publisher about a committee vote that sent a public notice bill to the Senate floor, he blurted out: "I am the senator. You are the citizen. You need to be quiet."
If an elected government representative will say that to someone who publishes a newspaper and has the wherewithal to tell the world, what will he say to you when you learn, one day, that the highway on which your family restaurant is located is closed to build a bypass? A public notice in your newspaper would have alerted you.
What will he tell you about that property down the street from your home being rezoned as commercial? Surprise! He'd tell you that you should have known look on a government website. They're pumping wastewater into the river? Well, it's up to you to somehow divine that such a thing is about to happen. Property taxes have gone up? Go hunt for the notice that would have alerted you.
Governments say they want to run notices on their own websites, with no public oversight, to save money. We understand that saving money is in everyone's interest. That's why the North Carolina Press Association has teamed with some smart legislators to propose a bipartisan bill (HB 723) that cuts newspaper prices for these ads and offers to post every notice on a newspaper website with a free statewide website provided at no cost to government or taxpayers.
Everybody wins — governments save money and the public sees notices that could change lives. Newspapers remain strong and continue to defend transparency and government openness against all comers.
Public notices exist because the public has the right to know what government is doing in its name. Don't let special interests take your rights away. Call and email your legislators and tell them YOU want to know what's going on! Tell them to support House Bill 723!
Beth Grace is the Executive Director of the NC Press Association.

Head Coach Will Wade
Thoughts on the game
"We were lucky to get to overtime. We didn't play very well in the second half. They out-toughed us on the glass, and that is embarrassing. It was just not a good night for us. We were lucky for a while there, and give our guys credit for making it to over time. We just had too many lapses in overtime and in the second half. We were not mentally tough tonight."
On the Samford offense in the paint
"They killed us in the paint. We had no resistance in the paint. We were soft in the paint, weren't tough and had zero resistance. It was easy for them. They drove us at will, got around us easy and around our guards. We couldn't keep the ball in front. It was just not a good effort defensively for us tonight at all."
Thoughts on the play of Samford's Tim Williams
"Williams was an intimidator tonight. We were scared of him a little and he imposed his will down there. Give him credit. He is a sophomore and a good post player. He did a nice job. We tried to keep going at him and make him foul but we couldn't. We didn't go in there strong like we needed to, we were fading away from the basket and just didn't get things done."
On preparing for Western Carolina
"Samford is good. They are a good basketball team and they're talented. We have to get back and get to work. Western Carolina is picked in the top three in the league. We have them at home and it doesn't get any easier. We have to be ready to go on Thursday. We are probably going to practice tomorrow. Part of it's my fault. We've been taking two days off a week, against my better judgement, and they've taken advantage of it a little bit. Now we're going to get back to how I want to do things this week. We're going to be ready to go on Thursday."
Gee McGhee, sophomore, guard
Thoughts on the game
"Samford is a well-coached team and they did exactly what they were supposed to do at the end of the game. They executed the right way, and I think it was us that really messed up because we didn't execute the right way. We didn't execute our press the way we were supposed to."
On both teams attacking the basket
"That's where the bread and butter is. That's where you want to be and where you have to go to be successful. You can't sit outside and shoot shots on the perimeter all the time. Both teams did a great job, but ultimately Samford just executed and got the win."
Thoughts on the teams' effort in the game
"It was a hard-fought game. We knew what we wanted to do and knew what they wanted to do. In my opinion, I feel like effort is supposed to be there, but we should have played smarter. Like me – I took a three-pointer in overtime. I was open, but I had been getting to the rim all night. It was a bad shot on me. And it's a team thing. We win together and lose together. I feel like we could have won but didn't."

Comments about Wilson Official NFL Game Football:
This is a fantastic ball, really nothing to complain about. It doesn't actually wear out too fast if used on fields only, but it shouldn't be expected to have the life of a less expensive synthetic ball because of its genuine leather cover. Excellent ball for competition! If you plan on using it for all-around use (including possibility of hitting asphalt or concrete), probably not a wise choice due to price.

Comments about Wilson Official NFL Game Football:
Purchased 6 balls for team in Brazil in December 2011. 1 went flat in January, would not hold air again. Should not happen for an expensive ball like this. Called Wilson, said they replace ball within 1 year, but have to send to them. Will not ship back to Brazil though they have representatives here. Ball is ONLY for grass and game situations, scuffs otherwise. Too expensive to practice with, wearing it out. Dye does bleed off when cleaning. Purchase brush to clean, and hand pump and air gauge to measure proper inflation (11-13 lbs). Do not used compressed air! Other balls seem fine at this point. Otherwise, nothing better than the original to use.

Quality and Patient Safety > How Others Measure Us > The Leapfrog Group
The Leapfrog Group
The Leapfrog Group is a voluntary program founded in 1998 by businesses in the US to discuss how they could work together to influence quality and affordability of the healthcare they purchased. They soon sought to recognize improvements in the healthcare industry for safety, quality and customer value. The founders realized that they could take 'leaps' forward with their employees, retirees and families by rewarding hospitals that implement significant improvements in quality and safety.
Palmetto Health hospitals submit data annually through a Leapfrog survey and results are posted on their website.

Key Messages:
- The goal of cancer screening is to reduce the number of people who develop and die from cancer.
- Talk with your doctor about which screening tests are right for you and the benefits and risks of these tests.
Scientists have developed, and continue to develop, tests that can be used to screen a person for cancer. Many people think that the main purpose of these screening tests is to look for cancer in people who don't have any signs of the disease, or to find cancer in an early, easily treatable stage. But the overall goals of cancer screening are to:
- Lower the number of people who die from the disease, or eliminate deaths from cancer altogether
- Lower the number of people who develop the disease
Not all screening tests are beneficial
Although some cancer screening tests have proven benefits that can help achieve these goals, others do not. When talking about cancer screening, it's important to understand that these tests can increase the apparent "cure rate" of a cancer without actually affecting how many people die from the disease or the risk of dying from the disease. That's because sometimes cancer screening tests find cancer that isn't causing a person harm and won't cause a person harm in his or her lifetime.
One example is screening for prostate cancer. Because of the widespread increase in prostate cancer screening, the disease is being found in more men. However, many of these cancers do not pose a health threat. That's one reason why the number of deaths from prostate cancer today is still similar to what it was in 1975, even though the number of men who have been diagnosed with the disease and "cured" has gone up dramatically.
Because cancer screening tests can detect some tumors that don't need to be treated, improved cancer survival rates don't always mean that a test benefits everyone. In fact, the risks of having a screening test could outweigh the advantages. The best way to tell if a screening test has actual benefits, including a decrease in cancer deaths, is through randomized controlled clinical trials (research studies in people).
Screening benefits and risks
Deciding whether to have a screening test is not always as straightforward as it may seem. Screening has potential risks and benefits that a person should talk about with his or her doctor, especially in the context of his or her personal and family medical history. The benefits include a potential decrease in the number of deaths from cancer. The risks include:
Overdiagnosis. Cancer screening tests may find slow-growing cancers that otherwise would not have been found or caused harm in a person's lifetime. The result is that a person may receive potentially harmful, painful, stressful, and/or expensive treatment that the person didn't need.
False positives. Sometimes a cancer screening test will suggest that a person has cancer when they do not.
Increased testing. Both overdiagnosis and false positives can lead to additional tests that a person may not need. These tests can be physically invasive, costly, and cause a person unnecessary stress and worry.
False reassurance. Sometimes a cancer screening test will suggest a person does not have cancer when they actually do. As a result, a person may not get needed treatment.
Screening test recommendations
Different organizations provide guidelines on cancer screening tests. Recommendations vary on which cancers people should have screening tests for, which screening tests should be used to screen for a particular cancer, and when and how often those tests should be done. It's important for people to talk with their doctors to determine which tests are appropriate for their age and medical history.
Two groups that provide cancer screening test guidelines are the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). Below is an overview of recommendations from both groups for common cancer screening tests for people without symptoms.
Breast cancer
Mammography. An x-ray of the breast.
- ACS recommendation: Women 40 and older should have one every year.
- USPSTF recommendation: Women 50 to 74 years old should have one every two years. They recommend that mammography be considered in women aged 40 to 49 after evaluating the risks and benefits of this test with a doctor.
Read about what to expect during a mammography.
Clinical breast examination. A breast examination performed by a medical professional.
- ACS recommendation: Women 20 to 40 years old should have one at least every three years. Women 40 and older should have one every year.
- USPSTF recommendation: The current evidence is insufficient to assess the additional benefits and harms of clinical breast examination beyond screening mammography in women 40 years or older.
Breast self-examination. A breast examination performed by women on their own breasts.
- ACS recommendation: Women 20 and older should be told about the benefits and limitations of this examination and the importance of talking with the doctor about any breast changes. This examination is considered "optional." However, if a woman chooses to perform breast self-examinations, she should have her doctor review her method at periodic check-ups.
- USPSTF recommendation: Recommends against teaching breast self-examination.
Cervical cancer
Pap test. Cells are gently scraped from the outside of a woman's cervix and vagina and examined.
The ACS and the USPSTF recommend the following:
- Women should have a Pap test within three years of beginning vaginal sexual intercourse or by age 21, whichever comes first.
- Women should be screened every three years with a conventional or liquid-based Pap test. Women age 30 and older who have had three normal test results in a row can have screening every three years. Women older than 30 may also have a Pap test and the human papillomavirus (HPV) test every five years.
- Women who are 65 and older can stop screening if their previous three Pap tests were normal and there were no abnormal tests within 10 years.
- Screening after a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix) is not necessary unless the surgery was done to treat cervical cancer or precancer. Women who have had a hysterectomy without removal of the cervix should continue screening until age 70.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends the following:
- Starting at age 21, women should have Pap tests every two years.
- After three normal Pap tests in a row, women 30 and older may have Pap tests every three years. Women with specific medical conditions should be screened more often.
- Women 30 and older may be tested for HPV with the Pap test. If both are normal, the tests are not needed for another three years.
- Starting at age 65 to 70, women can stop screening if they have had three normal Pap tests in a row in the previous 10 years. However, they should continue screening if they are sexually active, have had multiple sexual partners, or have a history of abnormal Pap tests.
Talk with your doctor for more information and read about what to expect during a Pap test.
Colorectal cancer
The American Gastroenterological Association, the American College of Gastroenterology, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the ACS, and the American College of Radiology recommends screening for colorectal cancer beginning at age 50 for both men and women using one of the tests mentioned below. The USPSTF recommends screening from the age of 50 to 75 with specific tests (see below). USPSTF further recommends that adults between 76 and 85 should not have routine screening, because the risks outweigh the benefits, and that adults older than 85 can forgo colorectal cancer screening. It is important to talk with your doctor about colorectal cancer screening and the type of test and screening method that is best for your situation.
Common screening tests include:
Colonoscopy. This test checks the upper and lower part of the colon with a thin, lighted tube. The ACS and USPSTF recommend that men and women 50 and older have a colonoscopy every 10 years.
Read what to expect during a colonoscopy.
Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and fecal immunochemical test (FIT). These tests are used to detect hidden blood in stool (feces). The ACS recommends that men and women 50 and older should have a FOBT or FIT every year, and the USPSTF recommends that men and women 50 and older should have a high-sensitivity FOBT every year.
Read what to expect during a fecal occult blood test.
Sigmoidoscopy. This test checks the lower part of the colon with a thin, lighted tube. The ACS and USPSTF recommend that men and women 50 and older should have one every five years, preferably with a FOBT between sigmoidoscopy tests.
Read what to expect during a sigmoidoscopy.
Double-contrast barium enema. This test uses an x-ray to check the colon and rectum. A contrast medium (special dye) is used to create a clearer picture. The ACS recommends that men and women age 50 and older have this test every five years.
Read about what to expect during a barium enema.
Stool DNA test. This test looks for abnormal genes from cancer in the stool. The ACS recommends this test for men and women older than 50, but how often it is needed is uncertain.
Digital rectal exam. In this test, a doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum to feel for anything abnormal. The ACS and USPSTF do not have recommendations for this test.
Read what to expect during a digital rectal exam.
In addition, the USPSTF does not think there is enough evidence of benefit or harm to recommend virtual colonography (also known as virtual colonoscopy) and fecal DNA testing for regular colorectal cancer screening. The ACS recommends that a virtual colonography may be done every 5 years for men and women 50 and older.
All tests that indicate an abnormality should be followed up with a colonoscopy.
Prostate cancer
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. This blood test measures the level of a marker called PSA that may detect early prostate cancer. However, high PSA levels may also indicate conditions that are not cancer.
- ACS recommendation: Men 50 and older should be informed of the risks and benefits before choosing PSA testing.
- USPSTF recommendation: There is not enough evidence to recommend PSA testing in men.
Skin cancer
Complete skin examination. A doctor checks the skin for signs of skin cancer.
- ACS recommendation: Men and women should have one done periodically.
- USPSTF recommendation: There is not enough evidence for or against skin examinations.
Learn about protecting your skin from the sun.
Screening for cancer has an understandable appeal. Although cancer screening can potentially lower cancer deaths and the distress of cancer, it is important to remember that a person must weigh the potential risks and benefits for each screening test with their doctor. Some screening tests may be more appropriate for those who have a personal or family history of cancer or an inherited cancer-related syndrome. The best way to find the value of cancer screening tests is through randomized clinical trials.

Eyes turning to Tinnon
HUNTINGTON -- Dennis Tinnon had the element of surprise going for him last season.
Opposing teams didn't know much about the Marshall University men's basketball rebound machine, although he came in after leading the nation's junior colleges with a 13.3 average.
Marshall opponents know about him now, and haven't stopped him from putting up similar numbers.
"I am averaging pretty much the same," said the 6-foot-8, 232-pound senior, a preseason All-Conference USA second team selection.
His statistics support that.
2011-12 season averages: 10.2 points, 10.0 rebounds.
2012-13 season averages: 10.9 points, 9.0 rebounds.
Marshall, 8-9 for the season, is 1-1 in Conference USA with a Saturday 7 p.m. home game against East Carolina (11-5, 2-1) coming up.
Tinnon will probably get a turn guarding 6-8, 190-pound senior Maurice Kemp of the Pirates, the league scoring leader at 18.3 points per game after getting 30 in a Wednesday win over Houston. Kemp also gets 8.4 rebounds a game.
"I'm still going to make sure I still get my rebounds," Tinnon said. "I'll put my body on him and go rebound."
Tinnon set his goal at being the leading rebounder in the nation.
He's ranked 45th and chasing the lead of Siena forward O.D. Anoskie with an 11.9 average.
"I think I can sneak my way up toward the top," Tinnon said.
To get there, Tinnon will need to avoid having more games like last weekend at UTEP when his total of three rebounds was a two-season low.
UTEP players definitely knew about Tinnon and did whatever they could to keep him from clearing the backboards.
"Last Saturday I couldn't get. ... those guys were hip-checking me, elbowing me," Tinnon said.
Tinnon is more than just a rebounder, however, with 15 career double-double games in the 52 he's played.
His best scoring games were 24 last season against Belmont and again this season against Nevada. His top game for rebounds was 19 last season in a conference victory at UAB.
Marshall head coach Tom Herrion asked Tinnon to do more as a senior with a move away from the rim at the small forward position where he handles the basketball and takes more outside shots.
He had two 3-point field goal attempts last season and made both. This season he's 9-for-20.
Tinnon could probably average more points, but said it's not necessary because Marshall has so many great scorers.
"I don't have to score, so maybe I'll go get 15 rebounds," he said.

NEW YORK — Nicole Kidman says she was shaken up after being knocked down by a bicyclist on a city sidewalk.
Kidman appeared on the red carpet Thursday night celebrating Francisco Costa's 10th anniversary as the women's creative director of the Calvin Klein Collection.
Earlier, the 46-year-old actress was outside a hotel when she was hit by a bicyclist. She was knocked to the ground, but in an interview with The Associated Press at the Calvin Klein event, she said she was OK.
Kidman added: "I'm up, I'm walking around, but I was shaken."
The New York Police Department said a 19-year-old bicyclist was issued three summonses for riding a bike on the sidewalk, riding a bike with no helmet and reckless driving.

Tradesmen, artists, and lockpickers all seem to have one thing in common: they carry their tools in roll up cases. When it comes to accessibility, a roll up case just can't be beat. It's satisfyingly tactile, fits perfectly in the hand, and displays the complete array of instruments when unwrapped.
The contents of the case are all neatly arranged in one simple layer, so that you can see your entire selection of tools at a glance and quickly choose the best one for your needs. If you're tired of fumbling through an unorganized bag, give the roll up case a try! You'll appreciate its simplicity and practicality.

Google Maps shows small previews when you drag the icon so you can adjust the position. Street View opens in full-screen and the mini-window displayed at the bottom of the map can be maximized when you want to change the location.
Google Maps will probably add a new tab for the Google Earth plug-in, so this change will make the navigation consistent.

Great colour! Amazing wear time. Just beware of staining on clothes, secure the cap tight, and make sure to not apply too much. I noticed that application of too much product caused bleeding. Apply one coat, let set, then if needed (which it usually isn't) apply your next coat. NOTE: I usually layer all my lip tars with the OCC Clear, which is a beautifully moisturizing base

Colorful Salad Grow Bag

Exclusive | Bountiful Salad Greens Right on Your Doorstep — with Grow Bags
- Grow fresh salad greens anywhere
- Made from patented, double-layer polypropylene that lets roots breathe
- Grow Bags make the most of limited space and fold flat for off-season storage
- Shown with the Self-Watering Tray, sold separately
For years now, gardeners in England have made the most of very limited garden space by growing vegetables, greens and herbs in plastic bags placed on steps, patios and landings. We've made improvements and achieved terrific results — and you will, too! First, our Salad Grow Bags are made of patented, double-layer polypropylene instead of sheet plastic. This felt-like fabric breaths better, so your plants won't suffer from heat build-up, overwatering, or poor aeration. Plus, our fabric air prunes plant roots, resulting in a strong, healthy root system. We've developed a Grow Bag for many popular crops — shallow for salads, deep for tomatoes, peppers and potatoes. That means less planting mix to buy and better results.
- Patented two-layer, BPA-free polypropylene fabric
- 14-1/2" W x 21-1/2" L x 5" H
- Holds 35 quarts of planting mix
- Made in USA

Best Uses
I bought these, along with other sizes of Grow Bags, to use out on my deck this summer. I bought enough Self-Watering Trays to use under all of my Grow Bags. They were a lot of work to set up, but some of that was because I was mixing two different potting soils. I planted seeds in some and live plants in others. Everything grew, and the seeds sprouted quickly. My tomatoes and peppers are ok, but the rest of what I planted didn't fare so well. I don't know if we have just had a particularly wet summer, but combined with the trays, these bags are so wet they are actually getting mold/mildew. The salad grow bags are the worst. They are almost black, and I bought them in the poppy color. That would probably be fine if the lettuce and herbs had actually grown, but they didn't. The seeds sprouted, but never grew more than about an inch. I have had success with growing in other planters before, and I will be going back to those. Not impressed with any of the Grow Bags, but especially not the Salad bags.

CHARLESTON — A lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia concerning violations of individual, fundamental civil and parental rights by a Boone County mother and her new husband.
Brandy Stewart (formerly Mullins) and Johnny Stewart have filed the lawsuit against several defendants regarding the removal of the couple's children in June of 2010 for allegedly not properly taking care and protecting the safety of their children.
The couple's children were removed and placed in a foster with an alleged sexual offender that was a minor child.
Although the mother complied with completing all ordered duties by the court, her children remained in the state's custody and prolonged the effort to keep them separated rather than reunify the family.
Details of the lawsuit show that while the parents were suffering at the hands of authorities, the children were suffering at the hands of social workers, the foster parent, therapists, foster care agencies, and even being allegedly harassed by the Boone County Sheriff's Department.
In a 21 page document filed in Federal Court the couple asserts that the defendants violated their constitutional rights and accuse the defendants of civil rights violations by state actor, unlawful governmental taking, unlawful seizure and false arrest, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, unlawful seizure, malicious prosecution and abuse of process, negligent training and supervision, and fraud.
"Since the beginning of the initial civil abuse and neglect action, Plaintiffs have been continually deprived of their fundamental rights as a family, as well as citizens of this state and nation," the lawsuit said. "Finally, without continued false allegations, misrepresentation and State sponsored thuggery facilitated by state actors in conjunction with the lack of due diligence."
According to the lawsuit, Brandy Stewart fled her former marital home with nothing but her children to escape escalating domestic violence and threats made against her and the children by her then-husband. She then went to the Logan County Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) to apply for "homeless benefits."
While at the Logan County DHHR, staff at the agency claimed Brandy Stewart was unable to keep track of her three minor children, fill out the paperwork in an intelligent and expedient manner, or discipline her three minor children.
The Logan County DHHR then contact the Boone County DHHR and a Boone County Child Protective Service supervisor took Brandy Stewart's three minor children from her custody.
The children were then placed in a foster home that allegedly housed a known sexual offender, which was also a minor child.
After Brandy Stewart married Johnny Stewart, the couple had a child that was taken from their custody three days after the child was born.
Brandy Stewart alleges that she was told by state actors repeatedly she "would never get her children back if she didn't get rid of Johnny Stewart."
The lawsuit also alleges false allegations that Johnny Stewart was a sex offender and those false claims with made in court without any known investigation or corroboration. There was never any evidence presented that Johnny Stewart had ever been adjudicated an unfit parent, no less a sex offender, the lawsuit claims.
Johnny Stewart actually shared parenting with his ex-wife with their two children living in the Logan area, the suit states.
The lawsuit claims a new investigation was launched against Johnny Stewart and Brandy Stewart was told by a Boone County Sheriff's Deputy that she would never get her children back if she did not cooperate with his new investigation and admit she was being beaten and abused by Johnny Stewart.
The lawsuit also alleges the children were placed in a dangerous environment with issues including non-approved providers, unsafe living conditions, and availability of prescription drugs, as well as psychological manipulation and sexual assault.
The Boone County DHHR, Logan County DHHR, Wayne County DHHR, Boone County Sheriff's Department, KVC Health Systems, KVCBHWV, Dr. Edward Necco and Kathy Keck are all listed as defendants in the lawsuit.
The plaintiffs have demanded a trial by jury and are being represented by Charleston attorney Trent A. Redman of The Law Offices of Redman & Payne.

Don't look too close. I am seriously lacking in the embroidery skills department. Lets just say I un-intentionally went for a "handmade" look….cough cough. But despite that this was a fun and fast project that shows off my little man's hand so I can display it on the wall like a proud mama. I'm sure he'll really love it hanging on his wall when he's 17. Yep, I'm sure.
I'm making my way back to Cleveland today. Traveling for 9.25 hours (including layover) with my 2 year old. I'm feeling cranky already. Luckily he is a great traveler, but it still puts my stomach in knots. I'm sure you all can relate. Wish me luck!

The decadent settings have been the scene of many a fashion photo shoot and now Carter is offering two of his guest rooms for design-savvy visitors. Ranging from £90-£140 ($139-$217) an evening (which isn't too pricey), each dazzling room at Carter's 40 Winks lodgings includes a Continental breakfast, spacious tub, kitchen and access to the garden. And judging from these gorgeous pictures of the house, who wouldn't want to book a night here? Read the CasaSugar post.

Revisiting an old post today from the weekly Life's a Journey series which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
We were in the car. I was, at a guess, about 7 years old. Mum was driving (as per the norm) and my aunt was riding shotgun. I remember it SO clearly…
"Where are we going mum?"
There was an air of excitement about the journey, even though I had no clue about the planned destination. I think it had been badged as a 'surprise'.
"OK", said my mum. "What is it that you want more than anything in the whole world?"
I pondered this for a millisecond, my seven-year-old brain whirling with the knowledge that I had been banging on about one particular thing which I desperately wanted for months. I had sustained a relentless nagging which I seriously doubted would ever actually pay off. Could it really be that? Wow, I really had better parents than I had thought!
"Is it a……hhhorse?" I ventured, tentatively.
"Ah. No." The reply, accompanied by a stifled snigger, spoke volumes. It had been too much to hope. Probably some crabby relative we're visiting or something equally boring.
"Try something a bit smaller."
Oh well, in for a penny….."A…dog?" I offered.
Had my mother really just agreed to buy us a dog?! I leaned forward between the two front seats and screamed (this was the pre Clunk-Click-Every-Trip era) and planted huge kisses on both womens' cheeks.
This was the day that Folly, the Terrier cross-breed entered our lives.
She was small & black, with a curious ginger beard and a white throat. She had only half a tail – an unfortunate case of mistaken umbilical identity by her mother at birth. She was a beauty, much loved, gentle and loving, and she was our constant companion for about 7 years until her sad demise in 1981. She gave us 7 delightful puppies (an unplanned pregnancy!) in around 1978, which crawled all over each other in the garden shed like little mice. My brother and I adored and named them all, and begged to keep one. Sooo not happening.
In the intervening years, pets have played a huge part in my life. There was:-
- a Guinea Pig named Suki
- a pair of gerbils (Bubble & Squeak – don't judge me, the names don't get any better as you read on…)
- a scruffy mongrel dog, Sam, whom I inherited from a scruffy mongrel boyfriend. He simply like me better. Who wouldn't?
- a hamster called Scratchy, and
- a fierce (and also inherited) English Bull Terrier called Sweep (another case of love me, love my enormous vicious killer dog).
All of the above sadly departed.
Latterly, as children arrived, pets made a resurgence. So much so that my life is now dominated by furry friends and I am a veritable Doctor Dolittle. Owning a pet is the icing on the cake of childhood, is't not?
Meet, respectively :-
a) Dandy & Rosie, our Border Terrier brother and sister (we went for one and came home with two. I am weak).
b) Tarzan, the Siberian puss – yes, again with the stupid names.
c) Pancake (what?! It's flat-shaped!) the vegetarian lizard – in a bid to finally satisfy my eldest's unquenchable thirst for animals to ignore and for mummy to feed & tend.
We are critter-lovers, I cannot deny it. They bring a degree of joy and fun to our family life which is irreplaceable, along with a degree of chaos which I could well do without.
