Faithful Forever, the pet cremation division of McAlister –Smith Funeral Home, is offering a pet loss grief support group for pet parents on Feb. 19.
Pet Parents who have recently lost a beloved pet can come together in a supportive environment to discuss the issues of grief, mourning and pet loss. The support group will be facilitated by a licensed professional counselor. Staff at McAlister-Smith Funeral Home understand the loss of a pet and believe that pets are part of the family. They want to help pet parents move "through" their grief; not just "get over it".
Who: Faithful Forever is the pet cremation division of McAlister-Smith Funeral Home, a local-family owned funeral home since 1886. Faithful Forever has been offering pet services since 2008. The group will be facilitated by Johnsie Currin, MEd, LPC, CIRS-A
Where: McAlister-Smith Funeral Home, 2501 Bees Ferry Road
When: Tuesday, Feb. 19 (every third Tuesday of the month), 6–7:30 p.m.
RSVP: Not Required and Refreshments will be served. For more information, contact: San LeBoeuf, director of Pet Services, email@example.com or 843-722-8371.

Curriculum - Introduction
Any discussion of curriculum first requires a definition, and I take a very broad definition of curriculum as encompassing everything that makes up the educational experience on a course or programme. I believe that this has three main elements; the syllabus (the choice of topics, resources, examples or case studies); the processes (the teaching methods and learning activities); and the participants (the students and tutors on the programme). Much has been written about curriculum, but the overview in this introduction is to set the context for the activities and annotated reading list that follow.
The post-war development and of behavioural science, and the belief that there were technical solutions to every human problem, gave rise to 'rational curriculum planning' or 'instructional design'. In the behaviourist paradigm, educationalists only need to specify sufficiently clearly and explicitly what learners will be able to do, to make assessment truly objective, and thus the specification of 'learning objectives' became very important. So for Tyler (1949) curriculum can be defined as:
- learning objectives
- content
- methods
- evaluation
Whereas curricula and courses are often described in terms of aims, or general statements of educational intent, learning objectives are more specific and concrete statements of what students are expected to learn. The term learning objectives has been largely superseded by the term 'learning outcomes' or what a learner can do as a result of learning. The difference between 'learning objectives' as pre-formulated goals and 'learning outcomes' as what one ends up with, at the end of some form of engagement is important as it does imply the possibility of unintended 'learning outcomes'.
Bloom (1956) argued that there were cognitive (knowing), affective (feeling) and psychomotor (doing) domains for learning outcomes and developed a hierarchy for learning outcomes in the cognitive domain:
- Knowledge
- Comprehension
- Application
- Analysis
- Synthesis
- Evaluation
John Biggs draws on Bloom in developing his theory of constructive alignment and SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) taxonomy. Biggs argues that a well-designed curriculum aligns learning outcomes, learning activities and assessment so that what is assessed is exactly the stated learning outcomes, no more and no less. Biggs SOLO taxonomy classifies the assessment of student achievement according to a cognitive hierarchy in a similar way to Bloom.
Having some kind of systematic approach to planning educational experiences appears an uncontroversial good idea, but it can fail to acknowledge just how much learning is unplanned. A focus solely on the successful performance of skills by learners leads to an extremely narrow view of the curriculum, leaving aside values. Hussey & Smith (2002) provide an extended critique of this approach arguing that the claimed objectivity of learning outcomes is illusory as they take no account of the context in terms of the level of difficulty, the discipline or quality of performance.
In the social context of the 1960s and 1970s progressive educationalists began raising serious criticisms about the curriculum in compulsory state education. Authors such as Ivan Illich and Paul Willis questioned the role of education in reproducing social inequalities. From this Marxist critique a number of important ideas about curriculum were developed that challenged mainstream educational practices:
- hidden curriculum
- the planned curriculum and the received curriculum
- formal and informal curriculum
Although these concepts were developed in relation to compulsory state education, I believe that they are no less important in HE. For example, in a lab class a demonstrator tells students that they have got the 'wrong' results and need to try again. Here there is a 'received curriculum' which is at odds with the 'planned curriculum' of the scientific method of hypothesis testing.
Similarly, when completing assessed coursework students generally understand that collaboration will be treated as plagiarism; there is a 'hidden curriculum' that co-operation is discouraged and only your solo efforts can count for assessment.
While a great deal has been written about curriculum there is less specific to higher education. Ronald Barnett is something of an exception to this, and has developed a model of the HE curriculum as an educational project forming identities. Barnett, Parry & Coate (2001) set out a model of the curriculum based on three domains: knowledge, action and self, and examines the balance and relationship between these domains in different disciplines.
It must be noted that in recent decades a form of 'rational curriculum planning' using 'learning outcomes' to define curricula has been adopted so completely by successive UK governments that it has become hegemonic within higher education institutions. The Dearing Report in 1997 set out a requirement for programme specification, and four domains for learning outcomes:
- Knowledge and understanding;
- Key skills (e.g. communication, numeracy, IT, learning to learn);
- Cognitive skills (e.g. ability in critical analysis;
- Subject-specific skills (e.g. laboratory skills, clinical skills)
Since when there has been virtually no official discussion of alternative approaches in UK HE. Through the Quality Assurance Agency Benchmark Statements in every discipline 'learning outcomes' have become embedded in validation and quality assurance processes of every HEI. Ramsden (2003), himself an advocate of the value of using aims and learning objectives to help academics focus on student learning, sets out three frequent problems with aims and objectives to be avoided:
- Restating syllabus topics as aims/learning objectives failing to engage with what the student should be able to do.
- Overly general aims/learning objectives as he argues that general aims (eg becoming more critical) only make sense in the context of specific disciplinary content.
- Aims/learning objectives restricted to that which can be behaviourally specifically measureable rather than what is important.
Given that 'learning outcomes' are unavoidable at present in UK HE Ramsden provides a constructive and practical way of using them to think about student learning. However, in approaching the activities here we should not forget other insights about curriculum provided by alternative approaches.

The iPhone/IPod Touch will zoom out the email to the full width, so the full width of a 600px email will still be displayed, however the user often has to 'pinch' the email to zoom and read text. It is also difficult to select links when emails are zoomed out as the click area is so small. The android/blackberry experience is much more similar to what you have above – it only opens the first 200-300px of the email.
I've done some research and have some examples of emails optimised for use on the iPhone, which I'll put up on my blog later this week. Until then there's a quick screenshot of one here http://www.elliot-ross.co.uk/portfolio/british-airways


text: Hi I'm currently trying to enhance my altq-rules and I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ, but I definitly googled: So far, I used priq on my internal and external interface to prioritize VoIP over SSH over mail over "everything else". But now I have a third interface that sometimes consumes a lot of traffic and is thus killing VoIP. Is there a simple way to basically say "everything that enters my router, no matter which internal interface it uses, has to follow these rules"? The two internal interfaces are different Class-C nets and they have to stay this way. And traffic that comes from the router but not from the internet should be able to use the full FastEthernet bandwidth and not just the SDSL-speed configured in altq. Is there any way to do this without having to use two sets of rules for incoming traffic? The FAQ only lists a CBQ example for a system with more than 2 interfaces and I'd really like to stay with priq. Or do I have to switch to CBQ? Thanks :) -- Fridtjof Busse

Fasciola hepatica, the common liver fluke, is a parasitic worm found in a variety of mammals including man..
The adult liver fluke.
Adult worms are typically no larger than 5 cm but many worms can be found in a single animal, causing extensive damage to the liver.
In the UK, Fasciola is generally common in farmed livestock which graze upon wetland pastures where the parasite's intermediate snail host thrives.
People can also become infected with liver flukes by eating wild water cress contaminated by parasite larvae.
Diagnosis of the disease is difficult, relying upon the visualization of parasite eggs in faeces.
For humans, however, detection of eggs in stool is unreliable so a variety of new diagnostic approaches are being applied.
At the NHM a project in Argentina is investigating the occurrence of liver fluke disease in man and livestock in the Andes.

Notes on Diffy Qs is an introductory textbook on differential equations for engineering students. In approach it is close to (and internally cross-referenced with) books by Edwards and Penney (Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems) and Boyce and DiPrima (Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems). Lebl's intent is to provide a comparable book in hardcopy at a low cost (or freely available here for download). The hardcopy is entirely in black-and-white whereas the downloadable version has several color illustrations.
The text is intended to support a one-semester or two-quarter course, and could be stretched to two semesters with some supplementary material. The contents are quite standard for a course that aims to introduce both ordinary and partial differential equations. The major topics are first and higher order ordinary differential equations (ODEs), systems of ODEs, then Fourier series and partial differential equations (PDEs), eigenvalue problems (including Sturm-Liouville problems), the Laplace transform and power series methods. Linear algebra is introduced as needed, but is kept to a minimum.
If one considers what knowledge and skills an engineering student should take from an introductory course on differential equations, one might include:
The current text does reasonably well by these criteria. One might wish for some more depth on qualitative methods, and a clearer message that most differential equations do not have closed form solutions.
The writing is plain but clear throughout and the style is relaxed and conversational. Exercises are plentiful but not particularly distinctive. There are plenty of examples, all carefully worked out. Where examples involve applications, these are all (unsurprisingly) in physics or engineering. Yet it might not be a bad idea for engineers to see at least a few applications outside their field.
Overall, this is a very competent — but not especially inspired – introduction to differential equations, one which is sensitive to the needs of engineering students in future coursework.

Trackpad Woes for Aluminum/Late 2008
Has there been any news on fixes regarding the trackpad?
What I'm referring to is the problems with the trackpad not registering actual clicks on the trackpad. This problem affects everything from dragging and dropping to clicking on a link.
Is this happening to anyone else? I've seen on Apple's boards a topic referring to this problem but could not find further information regarding the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bring it to an Apple store to get it fixed? Or turn on tap to click... tap to click ftw.

All new restaurants must pass a series of inspections before they can open their doors for the first time. With each inspection, the inspector issues a certificate of validation, which needs to be displayed so customers and officials know you are operating legally.
Restaurants usually undergo unannounced health inspections twice a year. Inspectors like to catch you by surprise in order to gain an accurate sampling of your daily operations. However, if you are opening a new restaurant, you will be inspected before your first customer comes through the door, so you can consider this one a freebie. During this inspection, the health inspector will most likely focus on your equipment and food storage. For example, he or she may check to make sure your walk-in cooler is reading the correct temperature and make sure your establishment has enough hand sinks and located in the correct places. The health inspector will also check to make sure you have your food service operator's license and any other documentation the health code requires.
- High failure rate for startups. Independent restaurants that are just starting out have a higher failure rate than franchises. This is because their brand may be new and unfamiliar to the public, so they have to work hard to win them over.
- Trial and error marketing. New restaurants that are not a part of a chain do not have a proven marketing strategy. Though you can try and copy from the franchises, many of your marketing initiatives will fail, because you have to learn what works for your specific concept and target market.
- Funding difficulty. Most banks will consider a new independent restaurant a risky venture, because the failure rate for independents is higher than chain stores. However, an excellent credit rating and personal assets will help secure any loans you need to take out. » More on Funding Your New Restaurant
Independent restaurant owners can open more than one location, and it is a great way to earn more profit and spread your successful concept to new areas. However, you will want to make sure your first location is able to run on its own, because you will be spending most of your time getting the new store locations up and running. If you have to micromanage multiple locations, you will burn yourself out, and both stores will suffer.
Your local fire marshal will perform a walk-through of your new restaurant to make sure it complies with local fire codes. The fire marshal will check to see that you have an appropriate number of fire extinguishers in various areas of your restaurant. He or she will also check the specifications on your sprinkler systems, in both the front of house, back of house and the fire suppression system over your cooking equipment. Your storage areas will also be checked to assure no exits are blocked and supplies are not stacked in a manner that can pose a fire hazard. You will also need to have maps of escape routes in both the dining room and kitchen areas, with exits clearly marked
Though you will see the building inspector at various times throughout the entire construction process, before you open, he or she will perform one final walk-through of your new restaurant and double check everything, from the cooking equipment to the width of your walkways. Once the inspector is satisfied that your restaurant matches the blueprints and complies with local building codes, he or she will issue a certificate of occupancy. This document means that you are legally able to occupy the facility. Depending on your city, you may have to display the certificate for all visitors to see.
Your city's sanitation department will want to inspect your restaurant as well. This inspector will pay particular attention to your grease interceptor. He or she wants to be sure your interceptor has adequate size and capability to separate grease from your wastewater, so it does not cause expensive blockages. The sanitation inspector may also check the temperature of your dishwasher's outgoing water. Some cities only allow water below a certain temperature to enter the sewer system.
Depending on your location, you may also receive an environmental assessment. This inspection determines the environmental impact of your restaurant and is conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA inspector will check your drainage system to assure no harmful chemicals will enter nearby rivers, lakes and streams. He or she may also perform an air quality check to determine the amount of pollution your cooking tasks will add to the atmosphere.

text: REPORTER AT LARGE about the trial in Israel of Adolf Eichmann, former Nazi party official, accused of playing a principal role in the Nazi plan to exterminate the Jews He sought refuge in Argentina after the war. He was kidnapped from there, May 11, 1960, flown to Israel, & brought to trial in the District Court of Jerusalem Apr. 11, 1961. The prosecutor at the trial was Attorney General Gideon Hausner and the judges were: Moshe Landau, presiding, & Benjamin Halevi & Yitzhak Raveh. Dr. Robert Servatius, a lawyer from Cologne, was counsel for the defense. The trial had far-reaching consequences in Germany. Even before its opening, a number of Nazis were arrested & tried in W. German courts. It was also revealed that some of the men in the present government were former Nazis. Biography of Eichmann, born in 1906, in Solingen, Germany, reveals that he was a poor student & not happy or successful in his work. He joined the Nazi party in 1932, & entered the SS. He was often bored with the party work, until he became involved in the Final Solution of the Jewish question in Austria. At first it was planned to get rid of the Jews by emigration. In line with this, Eichmann advocated Zionism. Analysis of his character: he was apparently unable to think for himself & never recognized his own guilt.

Recipe by Lydia
"This is one of the best appetizers I have ever made. They always go within 15 minutes whenever I bring them to a party."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) package
hot dogs
16 slices
bacon, cut into thirds
2 cups
packed brown sugar
I have been making these for a few years now and everone loves them. I, however, use the mini sausages instead of hotdogs. Use on foil lined pan for easier cleanup.
This recipe doesn't have to be so difficult! Just wrap the hot dogs with bacon (secured with toothpicks). Lay wraps in a single layer (if you have too many, use another pan for the rest). Then mix a box of brown sugar with enough water to make it "pourable" (not too thin) and pour over the entire lot. Bake until the bacon is done. Remove immediately as the sauce hardens.

Folks, I've been making these for decades. You simply need to wrap the hotdogs in the bacon, secure with toothpicks and put directly into the slowcooker. Dump the brown sugar on top, cover and cook it. The bacon renderings mix with the sugar. No need to dissolved anything, bake first, or mess up more than one pan. The longer they cook, the better they taste! They're even good after the hotdogs shrivel up although they don't look all that appetizing.
Good simple recipe, but so much better when made with Lil' Smokies (cocktail weiners). Everyone loves them!
A great party hit! They are not the most beautiful things but they are sooooo good! A keeper! Will make again. Thanks!! :)
I had my doubts, but it was a hit. I used Kielbasa instead.
These would rate higher if the bacon was partially precooked (to avoid so much fat mixed with the brown sugar sauce), & if the hot dogs were something smokey-flavored, like maybe L'il Smokies. I made a single layer, with the toothpicks standing up. I also spooned the brown sugar sauce over the appetizers part way through baking. I only made these because I had to use up some hot dogs, & had the oven cooking other foods. I won't ever make them again, unless I happen to have L'il Smokies.
I made 132 of these tasty little things for my daughter's college graduation party last week. They were snatched up so fast I barely got a taste. We made them, as someone else suggested, by cutting the bacon in thirds, rolling the Li'l Smokies up and laying them on the seam. I baked them ahead of time in the oven then put them in the crockpot to keep warm until serving. To serve, I placed them in a chafing dish (I needed something a little fancier than the crockpot)They stayed rolled up and toothpicks weren't needed to secure them. Easy to make and a real hit!!

Coconut Grove Chamber of CommerceRead MoreFor more than two decades, The Great Taste of The Grove has ushered in a miscellany of tastes, sips, and sounds for participants of all ages in order to raise funds for the Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce. Crowds of up to 20,000 descend upon local cuisine from area eateries as chefs grill up their own specialties during live cooking demonstrations. Wine samples, beer, and cocktails from renowned libations manufacturers acquaint themselves with uninitiated taste buds, and entertainment includes Saturday's Tribute concert covering songs from Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, and Journey and Sunday's Clash of the Decades featuring a mix from the 50s tunes to modern hits with headliner Suenalo. While adults mingle, youngsters can head to the adventure park, where they can hop on carnival rides or get their faces painted.2820 McFarlane RoadMiami, FL US
Kiwanis Foundation of North DadeRead MoreThe consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which was cofounded by the legendary toe tapper himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students' techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the cha-cha. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and fox-trot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba.4008 Aurora StreetCoral Gables, FL US
Pinecrest Community CenterRead MorePinecrest Community Center fosters community engagement with fitness classes, social events, and educational opportunities, all held in supportive group settings. Here, guests will find a fitness center with all the weights, core training equipment, and cardio workouts they need to slim down and squeeze back into their favorite childhood car seat. Classes are a main component of the center's mission, and the course topics here range from health and wellness to arts and education. Some examples include yoga and Pilates classes, modern dance and ballet, a Chinese-speaking course, and a mommy-and-me arts class. Additionally, the center also hosts lectures and seminars as well as informal game nights, so that members of the community can come together to socialize and engage in friendly competition.5855 Killian Dr.Pinecrest, FL US
Bnai Brith Youth OrganizationRead MoreFounded in 1972 as a gymnastics club, TWIGS Kids now resides in a sprawling 20,000-square-foot facility staffed by enthused staffers. The gym's name, which stands for True Winners in God's Service, reflects its mission of providing gymnastics, swimming, and cheer activities and instruction for kids ages 3–18 in a Christian environment. Cheer and gymnastics lessons simultaneously bolster students' flexibility, coordination, confidence, and ability to best invisible friends in monkey-bar competitions. Amid the heated waters of Dolphin Cove, teachers and pupils soak their feet while lifting floating barbells and riding noodle floats during swimming lessons. An in-house café welcomes visitors to recharge their empty fuel tanks with refreshing snacks, while a gift shop displays colorful gym attire from designers including GK Elite Sportswear and Melody Leotards.11155 SW 112th AveMiami, FL US
Pelican Harbor Seabird StationRead MoreIn 1980, Harry and Darlene Kelton moved their houseboat to the Pelican Harbor Marina and discovered an injured brown pelican. Without the aid of animal-care experience, they removed a fishhook from his mouth and rehabilitated him. This led them to form the Pelican Harbor Seabird Station in their shed. With the help of volunteers and trained staff, the seabird station rescues, treats, and rehabilitates sick and injured wildlife, and promotes their preservation with educational programs and research efforts. The center specializes in brown pelicans, most of which are entangled in fishing tackle, but will treat any animal brought in for care. In 2007, they treated 87 bird species and 39 mammals, nonmigratory birds, reptiles, and amphibians.1279 NE 79th St. Cswy.Miami, FL US
The Miami Symphony OrchestraRead MoreSince 1989, The Miami Symphony Orchestra has mimicked Miami's cultural diversity with concerts and events that act as a melting pot of musical influences. Music director Eduardo Marturet, a Venezuelan composer and conductor, helms many of the concerts, encouraging the musicians to unleash their inner Beethovens or Bachs—former members of the '80s hair-metal band Skid Row.10689 N Kendall Dr.Miami, FL US

t-minus one week
One week from now Sundance will announce it's line up, kick starting the warm up jog into an all out sprint. Accepted filmmakers will be bombarded with calls from sales agents, publicists, distributors, and more. The rejected films will target other (and not necessarily worse) festivals. Tapes will be sought like jobs during the great depression. Party grids will start popping up. Sponsors will start digging in. Who's not excited?

Criticism & Identity
To the Editor:
Robert Alter's "Eliot, Lawrence, and the Jews" [October 1970] is one of the most penetrating and thoughtful essays in criticism that I have read in a long time. The section on Lawrence, brief as it is, is the first satisfactory attempt in all the vast accumulation of Lawrence criticism that we now have to get at the root and the function of Lawrence's attitude toward Jews. The section on Eliot enables me at last to formulate the uneasiness that so much of Eliot has always made me feel. The learning, carried so gracefully, that illuminates the reading of "Burbank," is most impressive, but the way that it enables Mr. Alter to make his conclusions about Lawrence and tradition is nothing less than beautiful.
Mark Schorer
Berkeley, California
To the Editor:
"People who shrilly insist on the uniqueness of their own identity are likely to be insecure about it; groups that must forever affirm their own exclusiveness are almost certain to have inner doubts about their coherence or collective validity." Where he states this, in his interesting article, Robert Alter gives as his example the Germans. He might have chosen a group nearer home. . . .

About Our Volunteers
Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital, is blessed with many outstanding
. Here you can meet a few of our dedicated Pet Therapy volunteers.
Caio Stinchi & Super Lance
Volunteer Caio Stinchi and pet therapist Super Lance recently received the email below from a patient's family member. Caio says that this email represents the reason why he and his wife, Claudia Machado volunteer at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital. "These e-mails are priceless for us and also for NCH. We are really proud to participate in the Pet Therapy Program. As long as Super Lance is healthy, he will continue doing it," said Caio.
Hi Lance,
We came across an article about you and said "hey, we know him!" We met you at NCH over the holidays in the neurology unit. I just wanted to tell you, you brightened not just our day, but our whole lengthy visit. My daughter is non-verbal and has autism and seizures. That day was a rough one and she didn't seem to respond to you much at all. You see, she had been regressing for the last two years and had lost almost all of her skills. Coming to NCH from out of town was kind of a last ditch effort to find some hope for her condition. Later though, when we looked through your book, she would smile every time we mentioned your name. You reminded us that anything is possible. Thanks for the work you do and please let your owners know that even the kids who don't seem to respond are taking it all in and are so grateful that you come to see them. We all agree that you are really cute and truly are "super."
Signed a grateful patient family
Lori Moldovan & Koko
The Community and Volunteer Resource Department is proud of all its volunteers and the different programs it sponsors. The Pet Therapy program is enjoyed by patients, families and staff. Here is a letter of appreciation from a grateful parent:
"I am writing to say 'thank you' and let you know how your 'pet therapy' program touched me. They had just taken my 5-year-old son for surgery, and I had done everything up to that point not to lose (my composure). When they wheeled him off into the operating room, I sobbed for a while in the bathroom and then sat down in the waiting room. In walked an angel in the form of a dog. "Koko" and her owner came in and made their way around the room. My husband even commented to me later on that my whole face changed when Koko walked in.
I love Golden Retrievers, but more importantly, I love dogs! About 15 minutes prior to that my son was telling the surgeon that he loves dogs and his mom is a "dog trainer." I'm not a trainer, but I do "dog sitting." Dogs to me are so special. They bring so much joy into this world, which can be a very harsh place. Petting and looking at Koko reminded me of my own Lab, which is turn gave me happier thoughts.
So, thank you so much for having this program, and thank you to Koko's owner for volunteering her time, and for walking in with Koko, that angel in the form of a dog, at the moment I needed it most."
Note: Lori Moldovan, our Pet Therapy volunteer, has been bringing Koko to visit the hospital every week for the past 18 months. Lori considers it a "privilege and honor to visit the children and see what a difference Koko and I can make in their lives."
Thank you, Lori and Koko, you do make a difference!
When Chester woke up, it seemed a day like any other. He launched into his usual routine: Get up, stretch, scratch, and go outside for some fresh air. After eating breakfast and licking the bowl clean, he was ready for the day.
Being very people oriented, he thought, "Why not go over to Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital, and see what's going on." So, after waking up his "mother," Stephanie, they got in the car to head to NCH. Upon arrival, his head was buzzing about what he wanted to do and where he wanted to go. Since he loved children so much, he thought maybe he would apply for a job. So, the first stop was Human Resources.
The nice staff at HR gave him an application to fill out. They were so impressed with him, that after reviewing his resume and consulting briefly among themselves, they offered him a position in the Emergency Department on the spot. Wow! He was so excited. Perhaps the staff was in awe of his attire. After all, he had on brand new scrubs, complete with a spiffy stethoscope.
Wanting to share in his elation about his new position, off he went to administration to introduce himself to the "Top Dawgs" on the third floor. Even though there was a meeting going on, the administration staff welcomed him warmly and offered him refreshments. After satisfying his thirst with several rounds of water served by the CEO, Chester continued around the conference table greeting his new co-workers. What fun this was going to be! A great job at NCH surrounded by great people.
Before leaving the building, Chester had one more stop. After hearing about the Education and Staff Development Department, he wanted to introduce himself, and let the staff know he would soon be available for coaching and mentoring. The visit was a huge success and before he knew it, he was booked for several conferences and seminars. This day was totally awesome.
Soon, it was time to leave, but not without stopping at the Community and Volunteer Resource Department. Everyone there is always extremely friendly, and there are usually nice treats to munch. So, Chester and his "mother" walked over to tell us about his good fortune in being hired, and how grandly he had been treated.
We all gave Chester a big round of applause for his achievements, while he looked at us modestly with those big brown eyes. Is NCH a great place to be, or what!!!
Note: This is the first in a series of "A Day in the Life of—Chester." Chester is a handsome Swiss Mountain Dog, owned by Stephanie Figueroa.
Stephanie Figueroa
Originally from Brooklyn, NY, volunteer Stephanie Figueroa grew up in Florida, raised two children, and managed her own gift shop. Presently, Stephanie is a Pet Therapy Program volunteer, who brings in Chester MacDougal, a Swiss Mountain dog, every week. Chester is well known for his cowboy hat and western attire.
Stephanie has always been active in volunteer work, particularly with the Humane Society and the ASPCA. Before coming to NCH, Stephanie and Chester visited nursing homes, but her goal was always to volunteer at NCH. The patients react very positively towards Chester when he enters a room, and Stephanie also enjoys seeing the delight on the faces of the doctors, nurses and family members. Seeing Stephanie and Chester is a great distraction for the kids, who take their medications or shots much more easily with these special visitors in the room.
Stephanie enjoys gardening, reading and traveling, but volunteering with Chester at NCH is her all-time favorite pastime!
Katherine Wedekind
Every Monday, volunteer Katherine Wedekind and her dog Sophie, participate in the Pet Therapy program at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital. Originally from Indiana, Katherine moved to Florida about 15 years ago. Katherine has been a flight attendant for the past 13 years and is a former social worker and adoption counselor. Katherine's husband was involved in the Pet Therapy program at various nursing homes. Katherine felt that her love for children and her love for Sophie could be incorporated into a rewarding experience at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital. "I love seeing the smile on the children's faces when I walk into a room," Katherine says. "This past week, a little boy remembered Sophie from a previous visit, and it was so heart warming to see the joy on his face when he saw Sophie again." Katherine loves the fact that parents are so appreciative of her and Sophie's visits, and the staff always greets her with warmth and enthusiasm. The Community and Volunteer Resource Department (CVR) presently has 14 Pet Therapy dogs that volunteer at NCH on a weekly basis. CVR feels fortunate to have such a loyal, dedicated, and compassionate group of volunteers make a difference for hospitalized children every day.

Good insinuendo! Catholic bishops don't want to pick up a government mandated tab for "birth control," but I wonder if they are putting forth as much effort in keeping men in their insurance plans away from Viagra?
I understand in Italy many years ago there was a young woman caught soliciting priests in a "Sex for Pasta Sting." Since she wasn't soliciting for money was she a Pastatute?
I think the question should be this: Is an impressionable 18 year old really "a consenting adult?" If this was her first sexual relationship then this brings up a host of other issues. As a priest, Fr. Cletus' role should have been that of a counselor, not a mentor in sex. I'm all for the clergy marrying and for females in the priesthood, but still there should be clear guidelines for dealing with impressionable, young women.
As a former, "Pay, pray and obey Catholic," I have often wondered if the monsignors, bishops, archbishops and cardinals, who shred documents of Priest Pedophiles, were awarded Plenary Indulgences by the Vatican to cover their sin of shredding the documents and the subsequent sins of shuffling Pedophile Priests from parish to parish where they had a free hand in preying upon innocent children and teens. Can you imagine the years in Purgatory or HELL, they might need to spend if Jesus examined their actions? My guess is that if they really believed in the teachings of the Catholic Church they would have insisted on Plenary Indulgences for their own protection in the afterlife. Guess we'll never know, what penalty their "Sins of shredding and transferring Pedophile Priests" will deserve, but they might!!!!!

Completely gripping, frequently moving and always entertaining, Ford County brims with the same page-turning quality and heart-stopping drama of his previous bestsellers, and is proof once more why John Grisham is our most popular storyteller.

Tell No One
Tell everyone.
By John DeSando, WCBE's It's Movie Time
It's arguable that Tell No One is better than Hitchcock's Wrong Man; if not, then it is the best psychological thriller to come from our French friends since With a Friend Like Harry (2000). But why argue? it is a satisfying murder mystery exploring the deep, albeit clich?d, bond between a husband and wife and the odd occurrences that might identify the wrong man as a murderer.
After pediatrician Alex Beck (Francoise Cluzet) loses his wife, Margot (Marie-Josee Croze) in strange circumstances, eight years later some, even the police, still consider him to have been a part of the crime. Once you get past his resemblance to Dustin Hoffman in better days, you can be drawn into the typically French love of slow takes and lingering close-ups that enhance suspense and deepen characterization and the modern careening camera that alerts to confusing clues.
Dr. Beck is the classic hero, to be pitied and admired in equal measure as he struggles with every new piece of evidence that trickles in over the years. Remarkable throughout is the evocation of love for his wife, even when sordid facts about her are alleged. Perhaps as intriguing are the small roles, all played by fine actors never out of step with the growing revelations and sense of danger.
Although director/writer Guillaume Canet has a longer film than should be (a well-photographed chase scene, this time without heavy Hollywood CGI, but also with little thematic merit), his characters, especially the protagonist, are fascinating, right down to the venerable Jean Rochefort, looking as good as ever and playing an aristocrat with just the right indifference. Kristin-Scott Thomas as a lesbian is equally relaxed and arresting.
I could go on: You get the idea I am hooked on this neo New Wave drama that reeks of glamorous common life, attention to minor details, and little concern with anything but the resolution of love and crime.
John DeSando teaches film at Franklin University and co-hosts WCBE 90.5's It's Movie Time, which can be heard streaming at www.wcbe.org Fridays at 3:01 pm and 8:01 pm and on demand anytime. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com

Video in police shooting yet to be released
CHARLOTTE — The fiancee of an unarmed man who was fatally shot by a Charlotte police officer said Tuesday the police chief is not keeping his promise to release video of the shooting.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Officer Randall Kerrick is charged with voluntary manslaughter in the September death of 24-year-old Jonathan Ferrell, a former Florida A&M football player.
Ferrell's fiancee, Cache Heidel, said Police Chief Rodney Monroe promised to release dashboard video of the shooting.
Following the shooting, Heidel and family members, along with Ferrell family attorney Chris Chestnut met with Monroe to discuss the case.
Heidel and other family members later watched the 15-second tape, and she said it showed the shooting was "unjustified."
Chestnut agreed.
""The public needs to see it," Chestnut said at a news conference with Heidel. "There have been some statements to the press alleging that Jonathan may have assaulted the officer. And that is totally inconsistent with what we saw on the video."
Police spokesman Robert Tufano said the department can't release it because it's part of an "open and pending criminal case."
The police released the 911 call, but the names were redacted, he said.
This is the latest development in the racially charged case in North Carolina's largest city. Kerrick, 27, is white; Ferrell is black.
Civil rights leaders have praised the police for quickly filing charges, and have questioned whether race played a role in the shooting.
But police groups have called the department's move a rush to judgment. They say most departments, including Charlotte, usually take weeks — sometimes months — to complete an investigation of a police shooting, and then decide whether to file charges.
The North Carolina attorney general's office is handling the case.
Ferrell's encounter with police was set in motion at 2:30 a.m. Sept. 14. He had just dropped a friend off, when his car ran off the entrance road to a suburban neighborhood about 15 miles from downtown Charlotte.
After crashing his car into trees, Ferrell kicked out the back window and headed up a hill to the first cluster of houses he could see.
Police said Ferrell knocked on a door seeking help. The woman inside called 911, thinking he was trying to break into her home.
Kerrick and two other officers responded to the call. They found Ferrell on a road that leads only to the neighborhood's pool. Ferrell ran toward the officers, who tried to stop him with a Taser. Police said he continued to run toward them and Kerrick fired 12 shots, hitting Ferrell with all but two.
Monroe has said that while Ferrell did advance on Kerrick, the shooting was excessive. Monroe said the department's investigation showed the officer didn't have a lawful right to discharge his weapon.
Kerrick's attorneys said the shooting was justified because Ferrell didn't obey verbal commands to stop.
After being cooperative at first, Chestnut said police are now putting on a subtle campaign to make Ferrell look like he did something wrong.
"Frankly the police department is suddenly putting Jonathan Ferrell on trial," Chestnut said. "There's an undercurrent here: Where was he earlier that night? Was he intoxicated? Was he inebriated? What was he under the influence of? All of these things are totally irrelevant to the fact that Officer Kerrick decided to shoot Jonathan Ferrell."
Heidel said she wanted the public to know that Ferrell was a kind, loving man.
The couple, who had been together eight years, moved to Charlotte about a year ago when she took a new job. Ferrell was attending Johnson C. Smith University, while working two jobs. She said he wanted to be an automotive engineer. He had no criminal record.
Heidel said they were "high school sweethearts."
She remembered her last conversation with him. They had talked about him "hurrying up to finish off school" so they could get married. Before she left for her job, she turned to him and said "Have a good day."
She never saw him alive again.
"It's still pretty bad. I still cry all the time," she said.

Michael Shannon
Born on August 7, 1974 in Lexington, Kentucky
Michael Shannon as "Nelson Van Alden"
Atlantic City at the dawn of Prohibition is a place where the rules don't apply. And the man who runs things -- legally and otherwise -- is the town's treasurer, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, who is equal parts politician and gangster. Side by side with his brother Elias, Atlantic City's sheriff, and a crew of ward bosses and local tough guys, Nucky gains a reputation as the man to see for illegal alcohol. He does business with all the top gangsters -- Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, "Big Jim" Colosimo -- and he does it well ... until a former protégé takes matters into his own hands, setting the Feds on Nucky's tail.

Guide to using audio clips
Your guide to using audio clips to enhance children's profiles on Be My Parent online
When might an audio clip be helpful? Like a video clip, an audio clip may add another dimension to a written online profile, and help subscribing families to 'connect' more with the child they are reading about.
Audio clips may be useful when you do not have the technical or financial means to provide or commission a video clip, or there are security reasons why you do not wish the child to be identified visually (i.e. from a photograph or video clip).
New to recording audio clips? Not sure where to start? See below.
Technical requirements
Top tips
Getting the clip to us
What next?
Technical requirements
File formats accepted: MP3
File size: Ideally around 3MB, but no more than 10MB
Length: No more than 3 minutes
If the clip does not meet the Be My Parent standards of privacy and security of the child, or of sound quality, we may ask you to edit or replace it, or we may decide not to use it if you are unable to provide a suitable alternative.
Top tips
- Be aware of background noises from things like television, radio, music or passing traffic.
- Ideally, try to use an external microphone. If using an internal microphone built into the video camera, make sure that the child, or whoever is speaking, is close enough.
- Avoid having more than one person talking at the same time.
- Avoid any identifying features, such as use of full names, addresses, town of residence.
- You can include quotes/interviews with the child, their foster carer, their social worker, their teacher, etc.
- Put quotes into context, e.g. "I am Shane's foster carer, Mary. Here is Shane talking for a few minutes about his favourite hobbies..."
- Let the child speak for him or herself without prompting.
Getting the clip to us
Please send the clip by post on DVD or CD Rom. Remember to make a copy before you send the clip, or send it by special delivery.

The tweets have since been removed.
Cardiff-based athlete Jamie Baulch replied on Twitter: "You went with all the wrong people! Tom, whenever you're in Cardiff speak to the people in the know."

Pack Defeats SDSU, Claims Surf `N Slam Tournament Title
Dec. 30, 2013
SAN DIEGO – The NC State women's basketball team (13-1) picked up its seventh straight victory on Monday night, knocking off the host San Diego State Aztecs (3-7) by a final score of 84-67 to claim first place at the 2013 San Diego Surf 'N Slam Tournament.
The win secured the 33rd regular-season tournament title in program history for the Wolfpack and keeps the team off to its best start since the 1999-00 team won its first 14 games.
NC State was led by stellar performances from Markeisha Gatling (24 points, five rebounds), Myisha Goodwin-Coleman (20 points, five rebounds, five assists), Kody Burke (14 points, five assists, four rebounds), and Len'Nique Brown (11 points, seven assists). The Wolfpack shot a stellar mark of 30-55 (54.5 percent) from the field, a figure which included a success rate of 13-28 (46.4 percent) from distance.
Burke and Goodwin-Coleman earned all-tournament team honors while Gatling was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
The Wolfpack ran out to an early 19-12 lead thanks in large part to solid three-point shooting (3-3 from distance to begin the game). Goodwin-Coleman was on fire from the beginning, hitting her first three attempts from range to help the Pack out to this early advantage.
San Diego State responded, however, going on an 11-0 run during a 4:11 span to take a 23-19 advantage midway through the first half. NC State was able to break this run when freshman Ashley Williams hit a wing three with 6:41 to play in the frame, pulling the Pack within one point (23-22).
Traling 23-22, NC State scored 19 of the final 32 points of the first half to take a 41-36 lead in into the halftime break. Kody Burke played an important role in this stretch, scoring seven points. She would end the opening 20 minutes with 10 points on 4-5 shooting.
NC State shot 16-32 (50 percent) from the field in the first half, including a mark of 7-15 (46.7 percent) from distance. The Aztecs shot at a blistering clip of 17-30 (56.7 percent) and were quite balanced throughout the first 20 minutes, receiving at least two made field goals from five different student-athletes.
As has been the case during much of the season, the Wolfpack came out of the halftime break firing on all cylinders. NC State expanded its five-point lead to a 14-point lead in just 2:20 thanks to five quick points by Gatling and back-to-back threes by Goodwin-Coleman.
The Aztecs refused to let the Wolfpack completely pull away until the late stages of the contest. Holding a 10-point advantage (73-63), NC State ended the game on an 11-4 run over the final 4:32 to close out the 17-point win.
NC State will open Atlantic Coast Conference play at home against nationally-ranked Syracuse on Sunday, Jan. 5. Tip-off between the Wolfpack and Orange is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Reynolds Coliseum.

LAKE GEORGE A group of local citizens are working in a concerted effort to restructure the town's youth recreation program, since the state last year classified it as a "summer camp" — an action that threatened its very existence.
Last August, the state Health Department cited the town-operated program, demanding that the "camp" operation needed to have both a Medical Director and an Aquatics Director on staff. The state also mandated that the program officials had to maintain complete medical records on all children attending, and provide for special dietary needs, as well as having specialized equipment on hand. They also objected to its headquarters, the Lake George School District's bus garage on Mountain Avenue.
The mandates left Lake George town officials aghast. They responded that the program has been run successfully for 40 years without a negative incident.
The Health Department citations have prompted lengthy ongoing negotiations as well as program changes, town board member Vinnie Crocitto reported at the panel's recent January meeting.
He said that the Lake George Elementary School was being considered as a viable new location for the recreation program, after the Health department deemed the traditional site unsuitable.
The elementary school, Crocitto said, has accommodating, versatile facilities. He added that children participating in the recreation program could walk down the nearby Warren County Bicycle Trail to reach Million Dollar Beach to go swimming, a traditional activity of the program.
The elementary school campus is a prime location for the recreation program, Crocitto said, because of the various indoor and outdoor facilities, including rest rooms.
He said that the school's lower field is ideal for the outdoor sports-related games, and the Elementary School Nature Trail behind the school offers worthwhile educational excursions as well. Facilities there could host craft sessions, ball games, ping-pong, and many other activities, he said.
