Real Name: Eric William Morris
Casey goes to Yo's to see Matt. He tries to apologize again but Matt doesn't believe him. Casey keeps pushing, though, until Matt says Casey just wanted him out of the way so he could get Alison. Casey swears he won't hurt Allie and Matt throws Jade in his face. He tells Casey that Alison told him she was done with Casey! Casey bumps into Alison but won't talk to her. She asks Matt what is going on but he won't say. Instead he insinuates that Casey is crazy – and then convinces Alison to go away with him for a few days!
Alison returns to Yo's and tells Matt their trip is off because of Casey. She asks why he lied to Casey and Matt says he was trying to protect her. She thanks him for caring but says she has to see where a relationship with Casey leads. She says he'll find someone new and kisses his cheek.
Mark takes Alison to the warehouse but no one is there. Alison tries to reason with Mark, saying he can still get treatment. He admits that he supplied the pills and that he ran down Elwood! Alison gets frightened but tries to hold it together as Mark tells her Matt is the perfect scapegoat. She promises to help him if he'll just go back to the hospital with her but Mark won't listen. He brings up her porn past and demands that she strip for him now the way she did during the Halloween party! She tries to run but Mark knocks her down and tries to inject her with a syringe! Casey calls and Alison pretends he is Matt and says she is waiting at the warehouse. Casey is confused but Allie hangs up. When she does Mark injects her and Alison collapses! Allie tries to fight off the drugs and get through to Mark but he just injects her again! He says the cops will find her dead from an overdose and blame Matt! He starts to inject her again but then Matt runs up and throws Mark into some boxes. Mark runs and Matt tries to bring Alison around but she passes out.
Casey tries to call Alison back but she doesn't answer. He starts running. Casey gets to the warehouse, sees Matt bent over Alison and beats him up! He picks up Alison and hurries to the hospital.
Casey gets Alison to the hospital. A doctor starts to work on her and then hurries off to find Susan. Alison comes around to find Casey by her side. He says he saved her from Matt but Alison sets him straight – she says Matt tried to save her from Mark! Matt comes in, bruised and battered. Casey apologizes to him. Alison tells Matt what has been going on and holds his hand. Casey watches for a minute and then goes to the hall. Jade hurries in and hugs him. Casey is upset that Allie seems to have chosen Matt over him. Jade leads Casey away.
As Alison is headed to Al's, Matt calls her from Yo's and tells her he is running late. She tells him the good news about Ellwood coming clean about everything. She tells him that Luke is headed to get his confession at Mill Road. Alison goes on to say she hopes he and Casey can be friends. Matt nervously hangs up.
Matt rushes into the diner and informs Alison that someone stole his car. Alison asks if he called the police. Matt reminds her that he is an ex-con, but Alison says he has to report it. She persuades him to go to the police station with her.
Alison and Matt arrive at the station to report the stolen car. While Matt goes to fill out the paperwork, Alison goes to check out what happened with Ellwood. Luke informs her Ellwood was murdered by a hit and run. Margo enters and informs everyone that the car that hit Ellwood was registered to Matt. Alison protests that his car was stolen, but when she goes to check for him, Matt has left. Alison tells them Matt's story about the stolen car, but no one buys it. Noah wonders how anyone knew Ellwood would be at the bridge, and Alison confesses she told Matt. Alison tries not to cry, and exclaims she doesn't want to hear 'I told you so'. Casey stands behind her and goes to hug her, but pulls away.
Alison arrives at Yo's and Matt wonders why she is upset. She thinks Casey's arrest does not make sense because he never used or talked about drugs. Matt thinks if she believes Casey, she thinks he is a liar. Alison still thinks something is just not right and informs him she is going to go talk to Casey.
Alison heads back to Yo's and tells Matt she believes in Casey's innocence, but that she also believes Matt is innocent. Matt thinks she still has feelings for Casey. Alison grows tired of trying to explain that Casey is just a friend. Margo interrupts them and asks Matt about his social life of using drugs behind bars. Matt says he is not a dealer, but Margo warns that she has her eye on him. Alison is upset that he lied to her about using drugs. Matt tells her he is not using or doing drugs and that he only did them in prison because it was a dark time for him. Matt pleads with her that he needs her to believe in him. Alison tells him she does believe him, but wonders who is behind the setup.

Making it in Hollywood
Tinseltown stardom has never been an easy goal to reach, but for people of color, it's not just a matter of getting good roles. It's a matter of creating them.
By Hugo Martin '87
Kelly Perine '91 is a gregarious actor who has a supporting role in a network television series. He boasts an acting résumé that includes appearances on some of the most popular sitcoms of the past decade. He could be content in his success, enjoying the limelight few Hollywood actors get.
Instead, Perine spends his free time writing a new sitcom. He envisions it as a comedy with a multi-ethnic cast, starring himself—an energetic black actor with a drive to make people laugh.
After 10 years in the entertainment industry, Perine knows quality lead roles do not come easy, particularly for minority actors.
"I don't think it's about complaining to the industry," he said from his Los Feliz home in Los Angeles during a break from filming his UPN sitcom,
One on One
. "It's about creating these roles."
The entertainment industry is a cutthroat business where issues of social justice take a back seat to high television ratings and big box office receipts. Snaring that elusive role can be even more daunting for minority actors because film and television are still dominated by white males who create roles based on their own life experiences. Those experiences, media critics complain, do not often include people of color.
Surveys by the Screen Actors Guild, the Director's Guild of America and other groups confirm the number of minorities in film and television still do not reflect America's demographic portrait.
That may be changing. This year, five of the 20 acting nominees in the Academy Awards were African-Americans, a record number. Two went home with Oscars. Some media experts point to that achievement as a sign that Hollywood has finally turned a corner when it comes to representing America's multi-ethnic population.
But Rosalind Chao, an actress and fellow Pomona alumna, can attest to Hollywood's
capricious nature. She remembers a time not too long ago when Asians were only offered the roles of demure victims or action heroes in martial arts movies.
Change came in the early 1990s, when films featuring Asian actors in serious, complex roles became the rage. Chao played Rose Hsu Jordan in the critically-acclaimed 1993 film The Joy Luck Club. That same year theatre-goers flocked to see Asians star in
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
The Wedding Banquet
Farewell My Concubine
Just as quickly the trend shifted and martial arts superstars like Jackie Chan and Jet Li took over as Hollywood's top Asian actors. "It's slow, steady progress," Chao said while relaxing at a West Los Angeles coffee shop during a break from filming a movie starring Reese Witherspoon. "We take one step forward and a few steps backward."
To continue making progress, Chao and Perine both agree that minorities must begin to take on more of the directing, writing and casting jobs in Hollywood—the positions that create the characters seen on television and in feature films. "We shouldn't wait for the industry," Perine said.
Todd Boyd, professor of critical studies at the University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television, agrees with Perine. "You have to have people of color represented in the entire process, not just on one side of the camera," he said.
Addicted to Acting
Chao is a bubbly actress with a quick smile and an infectious laugh. She enjoys playing offbeat characters, like the part of Lily the hooker in the 2001 film
I Am Sam
, starring Sean Penn. But Chao's acting résumé also includes serious roles such as Leona in the 1989 drama,
What Dreams May Come
, starring Robin Williams. Sci-fi fans best know Chao for her reoccurring role as Keiko O'Brien in TV's
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Chao began acting as a child. Her parents were avid fans of the Peking Opera in China. When they immigrated to California in the 1950s, they organized Chinese opera clubs. When Chao was young, her parents put her in their productions.
"I hated the Peking Opera as a kid," she says. "I think because my parents loved it, I hated it."
A talent agent, who discovered Chao playing at her parents' restaurant in Orange County, helped her land roles in commercials for toys, dolls and toothpaste. Eventually, Chao fell in love with acting. "I was totally addicted," she said with a broad smile.
While attending Pomona College, she landed several TV roles, though she attributed part of her success to the dearth of Asian-American actresses in Hollywood.
After only two years at Pomona College, Chao transferred to USC where she studied journalism and got an internship at a local radio station. When she was forced to make a choice between pursuing a journalism career or acting, she picked her first love.
Chao's first big break came when she landed the role of Soon-Lee, the Korean wife of Cpl. Maxwell Klinger in the final episode of the long-running television series
. She revived that role in a short-lived spin-off called
After M*A*S*H
Despite her own success, Chao sees Asians lagging behind African-Americans and Latinos in the entertainment industry. A recent report card by the Multi-Ethnic Media Coalition, a group pushing for greater diversity in television, confirms Chao's assessment.
Chao suspects the reason for the slow progress is that the Asian-American community does not put great value in achieving a bigger role in Hollywood."We are not as outspoken," she says. "We have a lot to learn from the African-American and Latino population."
Chao does her part to change the dynamics by making an extra effort to work on projects that are written, produced or directed by Asian-Americans. When Asian-Americans take on some of these decision-making roles, Chao says, change will come faster. "I think that is where the power lies, behind the camera," she says.
Comedy at his Core
Like Chao, Perine's acting career was jump-started by his parents. He grew up in State College, Pennsylvania, where his father, a psychologist, was involved in the local community theatre. As a result, Perine was on the stage at the age of 4.
When he arrived at Pomona College, he and a Pitzer College friend formed an improv troupe called "Without a Box."
"I was at Pomona when I said, 'This is what I want to be: an actor,'" Perine remembers.After graduating, he studied acting at the University of California, Irvine. His first big break was a beer commercial, which led to more commercials and later TV roles.
So far, Perine has developed a niche as a comic actor who loves to play the quirky best friend and the wacky neighbor.
His credits include roles in
The Bernie Mac Show
Mad About You
Living Single
. He has also been a regular on
Between Brothers
The Parent 'Hood
The Drew Carey Show
The secret to success in Hollywood, says Perine, is having a thick skin and a wealth of confidence because rejection comes with the territory.
"If you come out with any doubts, you are going to get killed," he says.
But Perine can't talk about his success without giving credit to those actors—Sidney Poitier, Morgan Freeman, Lawrence Fishburn and Denzel Washington—who he believes paved the road for him.
It is an exciting time in the industry, Perine says. He believes Hollywood is realizing that African-American actors—Denzel Washington and Will Smith, for example—can draw huge audiences, of every color. That, he hopes will open up more opportunities for actors like him.
"It's a business, and Hollywood is about selling product," he says. "They have now seen that there are dollars to be made."
Perine wants to be part of making those dollars. If the sitcom he is writing gets off the ground, he expects to put one more African-American actor in a starring role—himself.
"I just want to make sure we do not take any steps backward," says Perine.

She's a Pretty Girl
Ga-Ga died over eight months ago. Some of you may remember that I was a slight basket case for a couple of weeks back there in December.
But I couldn't help it. Even though she was 97 years old when she died, I wasn't prepared at all for how difficult it would be to lose her.
Today would have been Ga-Ga's 98th birthday, and yesterday my mom, sister and I exchanged an email thread about the lessons she'd taught us. My mom and sister shared their favorite and most lasting Ga-Ga legacies. And I shared mine.
Mine, without question, was Ga-Ga's joy, kindness, and unwavering tendency to see the absolute best in everyone—and her dedication to making sure that whatever came out of her mouth was encouraging, uplifting, positive, and good.
"She's a pretty girl." It's the phrase I most associate with Ga-Ga. Because that's what she said about every female that ever crossed her path. We'd be lunching together at Luby's—Ga-Ga with her broccoli and fish and me with my macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, biscuits, jello, spinach, potatoes au gratin, and two desserts—and Ga-Ga would mention that she'd run into so-and-so at the bank or the post office or the grocery store. She'd tell me all about the conversation she'd had with the girl/woman/lady. And then, without fail, she'd sum it all up with a statement: "She's a pretty girl."
And she meant it. And she wasn't just talking about looks. She was talking about the person herself. Whether it was a former student or a fellow church member or the daughter of the woman who fixed her hair every week or the teller at the bank or the wife of the mayor. Ga-Ga saw goodness and value in all of them. "She's a pretty girl" was Ga-Ga's way of saying, "She's a unique and special person."
And again: She absolutely meant it.
Every woman under the age of sixty was a pretty girl to Ga-Ga.
And every man under the age of sixty was a nice young man.
August 13 will always be Ga-Ga's birthday to me. I'll always spend this day thinking about the things she taught me.
I miss her every day. If I talk, think, or write about her, tears roll down my face. Now, for instance. *Ahem. SNIFF!*
Today, I thank God for Ga-Ga.
In every sense of the word, she was such a pretty girl.

My grandfather's birthday was August 5th, and it was always a time when our whole extended family got together for our annual party. I thought about him a few days ago when it went by, and my grandma, too- who was a unique, kookie and awesome person. They got to meet my husband but didn't see my get married or get to meet my son, and that makes me sad every day. Buffy died of breast cancer in her early eighties, and Pa followed her just four days later, dying of a broken heart. It brought our family so much peace knowing they were together, despite the shock and sadness of their passing. **sniff sniff***
Heidi G On Tuesday, August 13 at 5:56 pm
Such a lovely tribute to a lovely woman. Thanks for sharing.
Jan Constantine On Tuesday, August 13 at 5:56 pm
How wonderful to have such a special woman in your life. I believe that she is still watching over you and saying such a pretty girl. Continue to cherish your memories.
Debbie On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:00 pm
Thinking of you…may GaGa always live in your memory! Talk about her to the kids with lots of her stories….she will live on!
Brenda L Borrego On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:01 pm
Wow thanks for sharing. My grandmother is 86 and she is very special to me. I don't see her as much as I should but when I do, I feel her unconditional love all over me. The greatest feeling in the world.
Belinda On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:03 pm
What a sweet Ga-Ga you had! My Grandma Sadie would have been 100 years old on 7-25-13, but she died when she was 93. I still miss her too and always think of her as well! She always had a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone! What a lovely generation!
Nan On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:03 pm
I love this story. It made me smile. It made me cry. It's beautiful, just like your Ga Ga. Thank you for sharing. I never knew my grandmothers – both were gone by the time I was born, but I still miss my mother every single day. She's been gone 12 years, but this November I'll celebrate her 103rd birthday!
Mariah Titus On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:03 pm
I am sorry for your loss we lost my husbands grandmother Norma in Nov. I lost my best friend I may be 32 but she taught me everything! I spent every other day with her for 5 yrs. I visit her weekly!
Shari On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:03 pm
That was so awesome. Thank you. *sniff* tears running down face.
SandyH On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:05 pm
Well, she WAS a pretty girl, for sure….love the old pictures. Teary eyed here too
Debbie Greenwood On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:05 pm
Well that brought tears to mine and my daughters eyes as I sit here at her kitchen table reading her this post! We were just talking about this today and that we needed to make a more conscious effort to be more positive in our thoughts & remarks on a daily basis! Was it just that generation?? ' cause my husbands Grandmother was like your Ga Ga, except we called her Nanny!! We miss her too!
Jean S. On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:05 pm
Aren't grandparents wonderful!!!
JennyOz On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:12 pm
Thank God for grandmas. I miss Nanny, 14 years this October. Miss her every day–but because of how she loved me, I feel like she's still with me, because she's such a big part of who I am.
Lindie On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:12 pm
She was really pretty. I can see some of her in you and even more in your sister. I miss my Nana just like you miss your GaGa.
Kari On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:13 pm
Ree-keep that promise to yourself to honor and remember your grandmother every year. I promise you will stay in relationship with her. It will transform you.
Marie M.C. On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:17 pm
Sniff, sniff. You and your family were so lucky and blessed to have your sweet, pretty, Ga-Ga.
Suzan On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:18 pm
Lovely post. I had my Nanny for 51 years. She is, and always will be, the role model that I look to in all things. At this stage of life, the one thing I want most in this world is to be the kind of grandmother to my darling grandchildren that she was to me. Grandmothers are precious women.
Kim G On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:19 pm
What a beautiful tribute to your grandmother! It made me tear up and think of happy moments spent with my Daddy who passed 9 years ago. What a wonderful soul she had. Thanks for sharing such special memories with us!
renee On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:20 pm
This really touched my heart. I strive to have that kind of attitude (that see's only the good in people, even if it is barely there). My momma will be 92 in a few weeks. She is taking care of my dad who just turned 90 in june. He suffers from dementia, and heart disease. It is so difficult to walk through the later years of our loved one's life when we know things will change quickly. You have been very blessed to have a great woman who was a wonderful role model for you and your children. Yes, blessed indeed.
Sharon Walker On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:20 pm
What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman! {{{hugs}}}
Sherri Pearl On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:20 pm
How inspiring…..:)
Shelly G On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:27 pm
What a great legacy you have!
Loreen G On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:28 pm
Now you have me in tears, but happy ones. You see, I had a grandmother like that, too. She made me feel as though I was her most prized possession as a child. She made me feel loved in a way no one else could
P.S. Your family genes are strong! You & your children are carbon copies of your grandparents
Ambur On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:30 pm
My Granny died this morning, age 87, and this was just the perfect post to read at the end of a sad/happy day. I hope the two girls are getting to know each other at this very moment.
Patti On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:31 pm
You grandmother was a very pretty girl.
Kathy Second Fiddle On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:33 pm
Thank you. Maybe someday , I can grow up to be someone's Ga-Ga *hugs to you*

Traci On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:33 pm
Thanks for sharing, Ree! She sounds like an amazing woman and your family was truly blessed. From what you wrote about her, it seems that you take after your Ga Ga! I'm sure you have made her very proud!
Meggie On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:33 pm
My mom-in-law aka "the best mother-in-law God ever put on this planet" is just like that – she is the most positive person I know – in the 34 years I've known her, I've never heard her say an unkind word about another person. There have been times when we've teased her about being such a Pollyana about life, but truly I envy her that beautiful, peaceful, lovely and precious outlook she has about everything. It sounds like your Ga-Ga was very much the same way…such a blessing in your life!!!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story with us! I have to go get some Kleenex now and call my mom-in-law to tell her I love her!!!
Kathy LaFerrara On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:33 pm
How wonderful that you such wonderful memories of your Ga Ga. Everyone should have a Ga Ga in their life. I treasure the memories of my mom and mother-in-law. They were both so special. My grandchildren never knew my mother-in-law, but they did know my mom. Two of my granddaughters remember her funeral. So….they at times tell me that they will love me forever….even when I die….even when I'm buried in the ground! Ahhhhh….to be loved like that is special.
Kimberly Allen On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:35 pm
Lovely! you have an Angel who was with you and is now watching over you! <3 Hugs to you!
Robbyn Handel On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:36 pm
It is nice to know that families still cling to each other and cherish each special memory of their times together. So many nowadays do not have these memories because of distance or estrangement. Remembrance and sharing these memories keeps the family alive. I have thanked God many times for the privilege of having grown up with both sets of grandparents only a brisk walk away. I feel your loss but I know you will keep her alive in your heart. Thank you for sharing.
Becky Fouts On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:37 pm
what a wonderful legacy to leave to her family!! your ga-ga was truly a gift beyond compare to you!! I so admire the relationship you still have with her – she is always going to be with you!!
Carolyn Page On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:39 pm
Everyday you and your family are a living example to what an awesome woman GaGa was. Be happy and celebrate her life. This was an awesome tribute to a great lady.
Pamela On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:39 pm
get your tears out of my eyes …..
Diane Johns On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:40 pm
What a beautiful, beautiful tribute to your Ga-Ga!!! I know she would feel honored if she could read it, and she'd think of you, smile and say to herself, "Ree….she's a pretty girl….and I love her!"
Ophelia On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:44 pm
Awww Ree Ree, I'm crying, too thinking of my Memere:(
That was us her with fish and steamed veg and mewith grilled cheese deluxe, fries, milkshake, ketchup on all of it and she never once blinked when the waitress would ask me if I'd saved room for dessert and I would emphatically burst out "YES"!!!! Love it Ree xo
Lindsay On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:44 pm
Ree, I totally get it. That's how I feel about my gram. She's in her 80's , on the other side of the country. I adore her. She just went into a new nursing home and we're having to "give away" her belongings. My family is there and I am not. The texts I get from my sister about seeing certain things go, is gut wrenching. Your blog made me tear up. The preciousness of those who came before us….there really aren't words. Just continue to live some of "her" in yourself…but you are. Hugs
Pamela On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:45 pm
Great lesson for all of us to learn – see and think the best of people. Thank you for honoring your grandmother, and encouraging us along our paths.
Amy G. On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:45 pm
God Bless Ga Ga, and you too, Ree! I really needed to read this — it gave me a badly needed attitude adjustment.
Sandy Belabin On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:45 pm
Many years ago in church the Pastor asked…"if you passed away today, how would you want your eulogy/obituary to read?" He then read a very long obituary. It stated all of the gentleman's accomplishments, metals, wars, jobs, education, etc. "Wow, this man achieved alot throughout his 90+ yrs" I thought to myself. Then he read a very short 1-2 sentenced obituary, "Our dearest Nana, we miss your love, hugs, and kisses so much. Although it has been 10 yrs since your passing, we smile everyday when we think of you." Who would you want to be?
That evening in church changed my life. I want to be remembered for how I made people feel.
Your homage to your beloved GaGa is absolutely beautiful. You were all so Blessed to have such a wonderful person in your lives!
Brenda H On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:49 pm
She sounds like a wonderful person. May we all have someone like that to touch our life. I know I have.
Rebecca S On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:49 pm
I am honored to share a birthday with such a wonderful woman!
jerre Hutchins On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:50 pm
I never knew any grandparents and have always felt like I missed out. Your Grandmother was a "Pretty girl" for sure and your Grampa was a good looking guy too. My favorite sister died in 2000 and her Birthday was 13 August. Perhaps she has met your Grandmother by now…
Pam On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:53 pm
I strive to be a the Godly Nana to our four grandchildren……I want them to have wonderful fun filled memories
Susan On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:55 pm
Oh wow…I want to be like that !! Sounds like an amazing lady!
Marci Ellwood On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:55 pm
Oh my gosh…..your daughter is a spitting image of her.
Sylvia On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:56 pm
Oh my goodness!! Took me 3 times to get through this. I was too young to remember my Father's Mother and very young for my Mother's Mom but was raised close to her. I have so many wonderful memories of the close knit family in Germany I was blessed to grow up with and will never forget her loving arms around me that I can feel to this day!
Bonnie M On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:57 pm
Ree, I am sending you a big hug and if you would please pass it on to your Mom and Betsey, I'd appreciate it. Your Ga-Ga lives in the hearts of those who knew and loved her and she's watching over those she loves from Heaven above. Your description of her is so lovely, surely she was one of God's Angels here on earth and now she's one in Heaven, for all eternity. How blessed to have such a wonderful person play such a big part in your life. It is amazing how much your Alex looks like her in the 1st photo of your post. It must be comforting to catch a glimpse of your Ga-Ga in your child. Not just physically either. I think the sweetness in all of your children stems in part from the influence your Ga-Ga had in your life, the impact you have in your children's lives and someday, the influence they will have in their own children's lives. Ga-Ga's legacy lives on and it is all a wonderful part of God's plan.What a gift! Wishing you more smiles than tears as your remember the times spent in the company of your sweet Ga-Ga. God Bless All the Drummonds and All Members of Both Families.
DD Horton On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:58 pm
What a beautiful story! It's amazing how much your daughters resemble Ga-Ga! "They are such pretty young ladies," is what I imagine Ga-Ga would say.
N. D. On Tuesday, August 13 at 6:59 pm
She was just beautiful outside and inside, just like her granddaughter:)
Jayme Erickson On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:00 pm
My great grandma Lydia was the same way. Her birthday is on the 19th of this month (August). She was 100 years, 1 month and 1 day when she passed last September. I miss her greatly and I will never forget her unwavering spirit, the kind words she said about all she knew and I will NEVER forget her telling me "child, don't wish your life away." I too will share tears with you today. For a generation of women who saw the beauty in ALL things and knew how to comfort you no matter the situation. So much love. <3
Julie R On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:00 pm
What a beautiful woman your grandmother was, and what a beautiful tribute you wrote! You certainly resemble her in looks and spirit!
I also had tears in my eyes as I read.
I had two wonderful grandmothers and miss them so much as well.
Now, I am a grandmother to two sweet and beautiful granddaughters. They mean the world to me. I live in Atlanta, and they live in St. Paul, MN. They come and stay with us a couple of times a year, and we go and visit them many times each year.
I hope someday, they will be able to say about me, what you say about your Ga Ga.

What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman!!
Lisa On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:04 pm
What a wonderful tribute to your beloved Ga Ga. And I absolutely love the last photo on your post.
Mari On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:05 pm
That is so sweet. I'm sorry that your dear grandmother is gone. I can imagine a small bit how much you miss her. My husband's great grandma died 5 years ago, and I miss her like crazy. I had only met her one time in person (and it was no more than an introduction), but we wrote letters constantly.
You're a precious jewel, Dear P-Dub. I'm very thankful for you. And what you've said about your grandmother has inspired me to love others as myself
Missy On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:08 pm
And she shares that birthday with my wonderful dad who was taken almost two years ago in an accident. I love how the birthday is still celebrated, whether it's with emails, or as we are going to do tonight by having cake and ice cream in his honor.
Amy On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:09 pm
You are so blessed to have had her into your adulthood! All of my grandparents died by the time I was a teen! You look so much like the first picture of her! Will say a prayer of comfort for you!
RJ On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:11 pm
Such a lovey story, Ree. Thank you for sharing!
Lauren H. from Texas On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:13 pm
My grandmother died in 2011 and I loved her dearly. I always think of the things she used to say too. So many things remind me of her. Ga Ga was a beautiful lady and so was my grandmother Opal! I really appreciate the scripture at John 5:28 & 29 which talks about the resurrection hope. We'll be able to see our dear loved again who've passed away but as perfect eternal humans on a paradise earth. Rev. 21:3 & 4 Psalms 37:29 I look forward to that beautiful promise!
Firenze On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:14 pm
And I am sure GaGa is mirrored in her daughter and granddaughters. You are all pretty girls, in the same way you described GaGa.
kathryn On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:15 pm
Thank you, Ree, for sharing such a special part of your life. We should certainly give thanks to God for those He puts in our lives. She sounds like a lovely lady and an inspiration. How refreshing to have positivity instead of negativity instilled in your childhood. Makes one think of the influence we all have on those around us!
Jane G On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:20 pm
It's always hard to say goodbye to those we love. You resemble her a lot.
Robin G On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:21 pm
It seems the longer we have them with us, the harder it is to let them go.
Ursula from PA On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:24 pm
Tears and Hugs come your way. What a beautiful tribute to your GA- GA, her memories are in your heart forever. Love the picture of her and your boys!
Melissa in Texas On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:25 pm
Beautiful tribute to your GaGa. I miss my grandmother and my mother every day too, but am thankful for the things (not material) they left me. I am who I am today because of these precious women, and I know that must be true for you too. Enjoy every second you get to spend with your mother and every conversation that you get to have, one day you will cherish those memories as well.
Jo On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:27 pm
Oh Ree, I feel for you, I do. I lost my grandma last month at the age of 96. Unfortunately, I didn't get to say goodbye; she had lost her memory, and I live very far away.
Writing out my best memories helped me feel a little closer.
"The smell of roast beef and tater tots; Prell; crisp cotton blouses; tender hugs; 500 rummy, Lawrence Welk and the Muppets; stockings filled with a candy cane, raisin box and an orange in the toe; fruit straight from a tree; porch swinging; toy closet with electric piano and mountains of tissue boxes; cleaning pine sap from fingernails and ponytails; Schwann's ice cream; blue curlers in bathroom drawers; hot tea and egg sandwiches; roses…industriousness…patience… the omnipresent calm of a rocking recliner slowly tilting forward and back…"
Mary On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:28 pm
Wow, she was a pretty girl and you look just like her!
Debbie Rider Skavlen On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:29 pm
It was my privilege to know and love your Ga Ga!! She was my Sunday School teacher, my 5th grade teacher and later when I had grown up, she was my friend. She was such a very special lady, so classy, sweet and above all, very, very kind. She and my late Mom were great friends, (they also shared the same name), I miss them both. We are all better people for having had her in our lives.
Kim T On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:35 pm
GaGa was obviously a women of God that could see past the slight imperfections that we all had and find that inner beauty in all. Bless you for sharing the wonderful memories of this very special women. Wishing her a very happy eternal birthday!
Michelle On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:35 pm
Thanks for posting Ree, today is also my grandmother's (Mema) birthday. She passed away a few years ago and I miss her everyday. Happy Birthday to Mema and Ga Ga ! I know they are both smiling from above.
Penny Lulich On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:35 pm
What a special lady your Ga-ga was. And, now, after reading that post I think I may need a box of kleenes!

Terry On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:37 pm
Oh, to be loved by someone like GaGa! And my grandmother, too.
Dixie Maddrey On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:37 pm
Made me tear up for sure. I lost my mom right after her 50th birthday. One of the best things she ever said to me that reminds me of your Ga Ga was Pretty is as Pretty does.
Margaret Ann Jsmes On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:41 pm
Oh, how beautiful. Such a wonderful tribute to a wonderful Ga-Ga. Those who are blessed to have had a Ga Ga in their lives reflect lots of love. Thanks Ree for sharing this with all of us…your family.
Kerry On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:42 pm
So sweet : )

Beautiful!! Betsy looks so much like your grandmother.
Diloy On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:48 pm
Grief is so hard. But a faith in God and eternal life brings such comfort, knowing you'll see you loved ones again. In the meantime, sharing your memories and pictures is so important….it brings you in contact with people who knew your Ga-Ga and can share their memories with you, which helps so much and also shows your children how important family and memories are. God Bless you during this time…….beautiful pictures and words-what a special tribute to your beloved grandmother.
Patricia G. On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:49 pm
What a wonderful post. Ga-Ga sure was a pretty lovely woman, apparently inside and out! You must take after her. A tribute like yours is all anyone could hope for after we r gone on to be with Jesus! :))
Jody On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:51 pm
We are truly rich when we have precious memories of grandparents. Mine are of my Grandpa and Grandma Lynk who were never too busy for me. Thanks for sharing today with us.
Lydia On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:51 pm
I see Ga Ga in your daughters' faces.
Rita Salo On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:54 pm
Awww…thanks Ree. I love how you love your grandma! Makes me miss my mama. She's been gone for 7 years and I think about her everyday. She'd be 95.
Meredith On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:56 pm
Today is also my Grandma's birthday. She's been gone over a decade now, and I miss her terribly.
Katie Radebaugh On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:58 pm
What wonderful memories to share with everyone. Your GaGa sounds like a wonderful person to have known. You know…. your beautiful daughters and yourself look a lot like her!
Barbara On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:58 pm
Ree, my grandmother is 91. I spent some time with her last night. She is not able to leave her home now so when we have family events we take them to her. She is sharp as a tack and oh so much fun! Love love love her!
My sons celebrated their 23 birthday yesterday so we went to grandmas. I have a picture I took of 3 of the 5 generations in my grandmothers line. The fifth generation was represented by my granddaughter Kayleigh who has yet to make her entrance into the world. Should my grandma not see Kayleighs birth, I still have a pick of her with her great great grandmother
p.s. Kayleigh Lucille is the first grandchild for me and she is named for the wonderful lady above who is Doris Lucille.
Nec'e On Tuesday, August 13 at 7:59 pm
Heart warming and comforting, I pray that the legacy of women like your Ga Ga continues to future generations…God Bless

Johna H On Tuesday, August 13 at 8:02 pm
A lovely tribute from one pretty girl to another. What a blessing and heritage. Thanks for sharing the photos. You look so much like her!
toni miller On Tuesday, August 13 at 8:02 pm
She was also a beautiful woman. This post made me cry. I miss my grandmother and my mother. I need them, and they are gone. I am now the one to be there and I wish I could go back in time and spend more moments with them both.
Micheale J On Tuesday, August 13 at 8:06 pm
Ree, you have her beautiful eyes and mouth plus, it seems, so much more.
Janice On Tuesday, August 13 at 8:06 pm
You were very lucky to have her in your life. She was one "pretty girl".
missy rae hansen On Tuesday, August 13 at 8:06 pm
that was an absolutely beautiful post, ree! grandmas are one of the greatest gifts we are given on earth and it sounds like ga-ga was one in a million. my grandma "honey" was the sun and the moon to me… although she's been gone 18 years, she's on my mind always and still feel like i "need" her every day. i'm lucky enough that she gave me her wedding ring which i never take off, and always touch it/squeeze it whenever i feel i need a little extra help, or love… she's still with me.
xoxo missy rae
Gabrielle On Tuesday, August 13 at 8:11 pm
Ga-ga sounds like an amazing lady. She is a very pretty girl herself. I know you miss her bunches.
Linda P On Tuesday, August 13 at 8:12 pm
One reason I come back to your blog time after time is your positive, uplifting spirit. Ga Ga's legacy lives in you.
Holly On Tuesday, August 13 at 8:12 pm
This has probably been said before, but you and your oldest daughter look just like your Ga Ga (especially in the first photo you posted of her)! I'm sorry you're sad.

He's Right, He Should Be On The Field More
September 13, 2011 at 10:04am by Scott • 2 Comments »
And so it begins.
It didn't take long for our boys in the media to try to start stirring up shit. The title of this article could have easily been "We got away from our game plan", which is the message LeGarrette Blount was really conveying. But because he said "I should be on the field more", that's what they went with.
"I feel like … I'm a playmaker on this team also, so I feel like I should be on the football field more," Blount said.
"We got away from our game plan. We got away from getting me the football; we got away from giving Mike (Williams) opportunity balls. It was just things like that … I don't know if we panicked, but we kind of got away from that really early."
No one has called Blount a malcontent yet, but this little nugget will be stored away so we can refer back to it if he says something similar in the future, even if it doesn't tell the whole story. Watch for it.
The story here for now is that Raheem Morris admitted that he pulled away from his core plan of giving Blount lots of carries.
"That's not how we want to win games," Morris said. "We want to win games with Blount bludgeoning you for 130 yards and us having a couple of play-action bombs and being efficient with (quarterback Josh Freeman).
"When we go to that two-minute offense like that, we kind of take Blount out of the game. That's something we don't want to do. We have a weapon in Blount. We want to run the ball with him."
I agree, and I'm sure that's a relief for the coach. I do, however, like the hurry-up, which isn't the same as the two-minute offense. The two-minute drill is to preserve time, so you can't go to the run too much. The hurry-up is just doing everything faster without a huddle and keeping the defense from making substitutions — getting them tired. There seems to be a lot of merit in that because whenever I see a team use it, something good usually happens. What if the opponent were in a nickel or even a dime defense and the Bucs went to the hurry-up and ran Blount right at those skinny defensive backs? I dunno… just thinking out loud.
But as long as Morris was taking responsibility for the gameplan, he went ahead and dished out some criticism where it was due.
"We need better plays out of our studs," Morris said. "We needed Quincy Black to play bigger, Geno Hayes and some of those guys to play better and bigger for us. Talking to my coaches, I thought we kind of blinked a little bit. Some of our young players did blink a little bit."
If by "blinked" he means "disappeared", then yes. Black was everywhere in the first half and then all of a sudden POOF, he was gone. Seven tackles in the first half, one in the second. Hopefully he doesn't mean the play where Black tried to put the ball back in bounds and it got covered up by Rob Sims from the Lions. There were three Bucs right there where he was tossing the ball and he probably wasn't sure he had both feet in bounds before he tossed it. He had to make a decision and he made it.
This post kind of went all over the place, but that's how the original article was written so I just kept following it. But I think it all boils down to running the ball with authority, sticking to your gameplan and tackling for the entire game. I'll waive my motivational speaker fee this time.

Mark S (September 13, 2011 at 01:18pm) :
Running a two minute offense does take away the run, but running a no huddle offense does not. For an example, replay any Patriots game. Maybe we should start off in no-huddle. It dictates an up-tempo approach and may help us get off to a fast start.

WVU Captures Big Win at Kansas
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Senior Ayana Dunning scored 17 points to pave the way to a 72-56 West Virginia University women's basketball victory over Kansas on Saturday at the Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan.
"YaYa, especially in the second half, our players were doing a good job getting the ball to her. She was hitting some shots and finishing and when YaYa plays well, we play well. I hate to put all that pressure on her, but I will," coach Mike Carey said.
With the win, the Mountaineers move to 14-9 overall and 6-6 in the Big 12, while the Jayhawks are 14-8 overall and 5-6 in the Big 12.
Leading 50-46, Christal Caldwell hit a 3-pointer to spark a 10-0 WVU run for its largest lead of the game to that point, 60-46, with 6:33 remaining. KU missed three jumpers and recorded a pair of turnovers during the Mountaineers' run. WVU held Kansas to only four points until Asia Boyd hit a three with just under two minutes to play. Running out of time and in desperation to score, Boyd's final four 3-point attempts were off the mark, while WVU converted 3-of-6 free throw attempts to seal the win.
The Mountaineers shot a season-high 43.8 percent (28-64) from the field in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks entered the game with the second-highest field goal percentage in the Big 12, shooting 42.8 percent, and was held to only 36.8 percent (21-57) in the game. WVU held KU nine points under their season scoring average.
KU jumped out to a 6-0 lead from the tip, its largest lead of the first half. WVU responded with a 7-0 run with its first five points from Dunning for a 7-6 lead. The lead changed nine times with five ties from that point forward with neither team able to pull away by more than four points in the half. WVU held a 29-28 halftime lead. KU's Carolyn Davis dominated the paint with 14 points in the first half, but was held scoreless in the second half.
"In the first half they were hurting us in the paint with Davis," Carey said. "We made some adjustments at halftime and did a good job on her the second half. That was the key."
Dunning led the Mountaineers in scoring for the fifth time this season and led in rebounding, with nine boards, for the 10th time. Caldwell chipped in 15 points, while Crystal Leary and Darius Faulk combined for 15 points off the bench. Averee Fields matched Dunning on the boards with nine rebounds, to go with a pair of blocks and a steal. WVU out-rebounded KU 45-34.
The Mountaineers forced 15 Kansas giveaways, while limiting their own turnovers to a season-low nine. WVU had the advantage from the free throw line, converting 73.7 percent (14-19), while KU recorded 12-of-19 attempts (63.2%) from the charity stripe.
Davis' 14 first-half points guided the Jayhawks, while Chelsea Gardner added 11 points. Davis also recorded a game-leading 11 rebounds for a double-double. Angel Goodrich added nine points, six assists and six rebounds.
"Angel Goodrich is one of the better point guards in the country, and I thought we did a good job on her," Carey said. "She can hurt you at any time. She can drive it and shoot it and I thought our girls did a good job on her."
The West Virginia women's basketball team will return home for a 7 p.m., tip with Oklahoma State on Wednesday, Feb. 13 at the WVU Coliseum.

Bo Schembechler Has Died
Legendary Michigan head coach Glenn Edward "Bo" Schembechler has died today from a massive heart attack at the age of 77. His death comes on the eve the biggest Ohio State v. Michigan football game in the history of their bitter rivalry. He collapsed while taping his weekly tv show, and was rushed to the hospital where he soon passed away. The cause of his death was terminal heart failure. Doctors say that the excitement of the upcoming OSU - Michigan game may have contributed to his condition.
Born April 1, 1929, Schembechler is known as one of collegiate football's most dominant coaches in the Big Ten conference. Bo served a twenty-one year tenure at the University of Michigan, which also included a stint as University athletic director.
Bo was an undergraduate student at the University of Miami in Ohio and played football under the legendary coach Woody Hayes. As a graduate student at Ohio State University, Bo served as an assistant coach to Hayes. Schembechler spent some time in the military, and after that he served as an assistant coach a Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina in the mid 1950s. Subsequently, he spent time as an assistant coach at both Bowling Green and Northwestern universities.
In 1958, Bo returned to Ohio State as an assistant to Hayes. The two were known for their differences of opinion, although they shared a similiarly conservative approach to the game. Schembechler served under Hayes until 1969 when he left Ohio State to assume the role of head coach at rival University of Michigan.
At the time Bo arrived at the University of Michigan, they had only an average team. However, he was quickly able to turn them around, boosting the team's quality and stimulating campus interest in the team. In the final game of the season, Michigan upset Ohio State and Woody Hayes in a startling defeat.
In the following years, the rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan grew into one of the most signifiant rivalries in college football, for often the season finale between the two teams often determined the championship of the Big Ten conference.
Hayes left Ohio State in the late 1970s, but Schembechler remained at Michigan throughout the 1980s, during which decade he continued to produce nationally ranked teams. Michigan often dominated the Big Ten, but didn't fare quite as well in post season play. The Rose Bowl particularly proved to be problematic for Michigan; they made 10 bowl appearances and gained only 2 wins.
Schembechler, despite his bowl losses, became the fifth most successful coach in collegiate football 1-A. His overall record included 234 wins, with 194 at Michigan, and only 64 defeats. Many have speculated that his record would be even better had he continued coaching, but Schembechler retired for health reasons on his doctor's advice and didn't want to run his luck too far. He was a 7 time Big Ten Coach of the Year.

Why Mormons Are Right about Alcohol
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the faith often inadvertently referred to as the Mormon Church) are known for many quirks, perhaps their abstinence from alcohol being the most telling. Ever since 1833, when its health law was received by revelation, Mormons have shied away from alcohol, as well as from coffee, tea, and tobacco. Mormon doctrine calls this health creed the Word of Wisdom, and its contents haven't changed since the scripture was recorded over 150 years ago. Recent studies have shown that Mormons may be on to something when it comes to alcohol. Turns out, Mormons may just be right about drinking, and governments around the world are starting to realize it.[1] Alcohol Consumption is Increasing–Along with the Consequences Some may argue that negative consequences from alcohol consumption affect primarily the individual drinking, and that no one–especially the government–has the right to interfere with personal choices. But the... Read the rest of this entry »

Mr. wOw Waits for Anderson Cooper and GLAAD to 'Man Up' and Confront Willow Palin
Is Willow Palin homophobic or just 'an ignorant teenager'?
Several weeks back, CNN's Mr. Anderson Cooper and GLAAD (the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) got together to condemn Vince Vaughn and Universal Pictures because there's a line in Vince's coming bomb, "The Dilemma," about electric cars being "so gay."
Mr. Wow was not offended, but Mr. Cooper was, and he put pressure on Universal Pictures to take the line out of the trailer (but not the movie itself.) Prior to this incident, and immediately after, Mr. Cooper did some excellent coverage on the bullying of gay children and teens – bullying that has sometimes led these kids to commit suicide. Good for him. He needs to say other things, but I assume he has his reasons for being so dainty.
Now, along comes 16 year-old Willow Palin, one of Sarah Palin's children. Young Willow took to Facebook on the night her mother's riveting reality show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska" debuted. When one young man – a teen – criticized the show, little Willow called him "jealous" of her family's success and a "faggot." She also determined that others who didn't love her mom's show were "low life losers."
Now, I ask – where is CNN's Silver Fox? Where is GLAAD? Is Willow really homophobic or just an ignorant teenager who has been raised on instant, thoughtless communication and has no skills to respond intelligently to an opposing viewpoint? I don't care. But if a foolish line in a foolish comedy could get Anderson up off his ass and cause GLAAD to fuss, the hurtful words of the daughter of a potential candidate for the presidency of the United States need to be addressed.
Unless … CNN and GLAAD are simply afraid of Mrs. Palin? She does have a miraculous way of turning everything around – she is always the perennial victim. And her children – even the pregnant and unmarried ones, or the go-to-Iraq-or-jail ones, or the bitchy little Facebook ranters – are sacrosanct.
Tick-tock, Anderson and GLAAD.

For example, if the drum maker puts ambassadors on, and orders ambassadors, i.e. cuts a deal with Remo, then it doesn't matter if they are made in the US, China, or on the moon. They will meet the specification for ambassadors or they aren't going to be buying from Remo for very long.
If they say ambassador but they aren't really ambassadors, there's a serious integrity problem with those companies, in fact it opens up a legal can of worms.
When I got my new MCX shells, i changed the top clear ambassadors to coated emperors, because my perception is that ambassadors ring too much on bright drums, and the stick attack sounds better on coated emperors. I put renaissance coated emperors on the batter of my snares. And left the stock clear ambassadors on the reso side of my new drums. They sound great on the reso side.

Greatest Game Villain Henchman
Hey, everyone's got to start somewhere. These loyal minions created a bracket to guess at who is the most vile of them all. Let's hope they don't get caught betting against their overlords!
Greatest Game Villain Miniboss
From villainesque to full-blown villainy. Your loyalty proven by ranking in the top 1000 among your sniveling competitors, your new job is to wait in the middle of the level for an unsuspecting hero, like a boss.
Greatest Game Villain Staff Subjugator
They have fallen before you like blades of grass on mowing day. This evildoer defeated the Dark Lords of GameSpot at their own game, throwing the Internet into unbalance and threatening all. Good job!
Hey look, it's a totally original dude wearing armor. With a huge gun and a helmet (a visor?). And he's riding a unicorn. This user was granted this magical emblem for not having any of their user profile images hosted on untrusted websites during The Great Purge of March 2013.

CU Buffaloes quarterback Jordan Webb sentenced to probation, work crew in assault on AFA cadet
BOULDER, Colo. - University of Colorado quarterback Jordan Webb was sentenced Friday to two years of probation and 20 days on a work crew for his role in a May fight that left an Air Force Academy cadet unconscious.
The Daily Camera reported that Webb, 22, also was sentenced to 80 hours of community service and alcohol treatment by Boulder District Judge Patrick Butler.
Webb pleaded guilty last week to misdemeanor assault in exchange for prosecutors dropping felony assault charges.
Webb and former CU Buffs lineman Alex Lewis were arrested May 11 after witness said they attacked the cadet, 22-year-old Lee Bussey, in the University Hill neighborhood. Witnesses told police that Lewis pushed Bussey's head into a brick wall and that both Webb and Lewis pushed the cadet to the ground and punched him.
"In its totality, this was a very brutal assault," said prosecutor Bruce Langer. "(Bussey) doesn't know how (the assault) will affect his military career, he doesn't know how it will affect his health. That's an unknown he lives with and will continue to live with."
Webb told the judge at the hearing that he did shove Bussey, but was only trying to break up the fight, the Camera reported.
"My role was minimal at best, but I take full responsibility and I shouldn't have put myself in that type of situation," Webb said. "I'm not a violent person, never have been."
Judge Butler told Webb he was fortunate Bussey wasn't more severely injured, and said he should have called police or tried to calm down Lewis and break up the fight instead of shoving Bussey, the newspaper reported.
"You were involved enough. You were charged with a felony," Butler said. "I have to tell you that you are very fortunate the prosecution is giving you this opportunity to come away from this with a misdemeanor."
Lewis, an offensive lineman who transferred to the University of Nebraska in May, still faces one count of felony assault -- and two counts of misdemeanor harassment.

Letter: Congress' help needed
To the editor:
Maria Parham Medical Center has a long and illustrious history and is proud to be part of this community. Like other community hospitals across the country, we are a major local employer, a significant taxpayer, a backbone for local economic and business development, and the sole point of access to hospital care close to home. You are probably unaware, but a critical rural Medicare program that directly helps our local hospital and hospitals throughout North Carolina is at risk — the Medicare Dependent Hospital (MDH) Payment program.
As you might imagine, hospitals in urban areas see more patients and serve a different demographic of people — often more privately insured and younger patients — than rural hospitals. The MDH program was designed to minimize these disparities, ensure fair reimbursement and protect rural hospitals' ability to maintain the same levels of quality and regulatory compliance as their urban counterparts. However, the program expired in October, and time is running short to save it.
Congress must take action to extend the MDH program and protect our community hospitals, which have been jeopardized by more than $95 billion in Medicare and Medicaid spending cuts from the federal government. We urge Congressman G.K. Butterfield to join the bipartisan group of lawmakers that is working to make this happen. In the past he has been very supportive of rural hospitals in their mission of making our communities healthier.
Rest assured that at Maria Parham Medical Center our caregivers, nurses and doctors are committed to meeting the needs of the community and providing the highest quality care to our patients. But it is more important than ever that Congress take action to prevent further cuts.
This is a bipartisan effort to protect our hospitals and we sincerely hope our congressman and those across the country will support it.
Bob Singletary

Dell needs a better business strategy, not a buyout January 16, 2013 at 3:22 pm
Recent talk of a private equity buyout for Dell have sent the stock price soaring, but it's not clear what the benefit would be. As much as Dell needs a new business strategy, the fundamentals of the company haven't changed much in recent years.
Forget price cuts — higher prices, better quality are the PC industry's last chance January 16, 2013 at 9:41 am
There's been a lot of talk regarding the declining PC market, but price cuts simply aren't the answer to the problem. If netbooks are any indication, slashing prices now — as opposed to improving product quality — will only destroy the market more quickly.
