Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Improves Patient Safety
posted Apr 3, 2013 - 2:40:23pm
Florida Hospital Fish Memorial has implemented a new program designed to help protect patients from falls and staff from injuries. It's called the Diligent Safe Patient Handing and Early Mobility Program.
Florida Hospital Fish Memorial is the only hospital in Volusia County to employ this specialized equipment. The Orange City hospital was selected as one of two hospitals within Adventist Health System (AHS) to pilot the effectiveness of the Arjo Huntleigh Safe Patient Handling Equipment and received $400,000 from AHS to cover the cost of both the equipment and training.
"Our goals are simple. This new equipment allows therapists to assist in the patients' rehabilitation process, allowing them to participate in therapy and improve their independence, where they otherwise would have been unable," said Roxanne Hopkins, Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Director of Rehabilitation Services. "In addition, this equipment aims to reduce the risk of injury to patients and healthcare workers during patient movement and transport."
At Florida Hospital Fish Memorial, preventing patient falls is an essential goal and is in accordance with the guidelines established by the Joint Commission, the nation's leading accrediting agency for healthcare organizations.
Another major goal is to reduce the number of back injuries suffered by Florida Hospital Fish Memorial staff. Prior to the development of lifting systems, nurses, physical therapists and other healthcare providers routinely assisted patients in a wide range of transfers that required risk to both the patient and the healthcare worker – such as moving a heavy patient from the bed to a wheelchair.
"Health care workers are the only laborers in this country who consider 100 pounds light," said Julie Vaught, Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Wound Care Registered Nurse. "In any other industry, such as the U.S. Postal Service, staff would enlist the use of a mechanical device to assist them with a load heavier than 50 pounds As a result, bedside caregivers endure injuries, such as muscle strains or sprains and spinal disc herniations, as well as micro-tears to their muscles. These micro-tears accumulate over years and years of undue stress on back muscles from lifting and moving patients, which could turn into a career-ending injury."
Internally, the Orange City hospital has worked with many departments, such as infection control, transport, purchasing, nursing, and rehabilitation services, to implement new policies and to provide the education and training on the new equipment for more than 450 employees.
"At Florida Hospital Fish Memorial, we want to take the very best care of both our patients and our staff," said Jennifer Shull, Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Chief Nursing Officer. "We are proud to be the first hospital in the area to proactively address the potential of injuries due to lifting, repositioning and transferring patients through this new equipment and training."

Franklin College celebrates students' outstanding achievements at annual awards ceremony
Posted: February 28, 2013|
"DISTINGUISHED guests, ladies and gentlemen, forget the Oscars, these are the most important awards this week."
These were the words of Franklin College principal Trevor Wray as he introduced the college's annual awards evening at Grimsby Town Hall.
Just days after the prestigious Academy Awards, the area's top sixth form college celebrated the brightest and best of its students in every subject and society.
There was barely a spare seat as proud staff, friends and family members watched the winners enjoy the fruits of their success.
Mr Wray, who has been principal since 2010, said: "If the last three years has taught me anything, it's how special the students are here at Franklin, and how well supported they are by both their families and by staff.
"I've come to appreciate the ambition and achievements of our students – supported by their families – both academically and in life.
"This was our opportunity to recognise and celebrate these achievements and focus on the hard work, the inspiration and the progress made by students."
In 2012, the college received its best set of A-level results in its 22-year history and the business and law academies it has set up in recent years have opened up new doors to students.
One of those is Tom Crump, 17, of Scartho, who picked up the Business Career Academy Award, as well as numerous others for his part in groups such as the Maths Challenge Team and the Debating Team.
But they weren't the only accolades he scooped this year – Tom has been awarded a place at St Hugh's College, Oxford University, where he will study economics and management from September.
"It's really nice to pick up the award but being a part of the career academy the college runs has been invaluable," he said.
"I've had the chance to speak to plenty of business leaders in the area while trying to persuade them to be a part of the academy – and they've been very supportive.
"I also had an internship at Linden Homes in Hull and without that and everything else I have done here, I might not be going to Oxford next year."
Proud mum Pauline, 52, said her son was "reticent" about his own achievements.
"I was immensely proud to see him pick up multiple awards – he has really thrown himself into every opportunity the college offers but stays very grounded as well," she said.

The Consumer Adviser
Less evident is the role of the public in advising about health care policy decisions that affect society as a whole. As health care has grown in complexity, appointments of patients, consumers, and advocates to boards, committees, task forces, and other advisory bodies are a testament to the recognition that an array of stakeholder perspectives is needed on issues that profoundly affect people's lives.
There are numerous examples in which national and state bodies provide opportunities for consumers to comment, respond to, and offer suggestions that may affect health policy. Medicare has a public process for reviewing specific technologies individually. The Medicare Evidence Development and Coverage Advisory Committee (MEDCAC) meets in an open forum approximately four to eight times a year to review submitted evidence, listen to testimony, and deliberate about the quality of the evidence. Of the 94 at-large member positions, selected by the Secretary, 6 are reserved for patient advocates (HHS, 2010), with one participating in every meeting (HHS, 2010). Further opportunities for public input in the service coverage determination process exist, as illustrated in the case of health technology assessment for Medicare decisions as well as in Oregon and Washington State (Table 6-1), and other venues (Menon and Stafinski, 2011).
Although opportunities for input are essential, they are not a substitute for formal representation on governing and advisory bodies. The committee believes formal representation will be important for the EHB package if it is to attain and maintain the trust and confidence of those it serves (e.g., on the National Benefits Advisory Council; see Chapter 9).
The Citizen Deliberator
There is a third role for the public, distinct from the others: helping to reconcile the tension between comprehensiveness and affordability. Finding the balance between them requires strong political and social will, efforts that can be helped with public deliberation: "the use of critical thinking and reasoned argument as a way for citizens to make decisions on public policy" (McCoy and Scully, 2002, p. 117). Deliberation does not assume consensus, but "it brings into consideration knowledge and judgments coming from various perspectives so that participants develop understandings that are informed by other views" (NRC, 1996, p. 74).
A structured interactive process can elucidate the core values by which the public ultimately reaches societal decisions. As long as there are far more ways to spend health care dollars than there are dollars to spend, these core values must play a role in deciding the coverage obligations of insurance and the personal obligations of individual consumers (Fleck, 2009).
These two roles—consumer adviser and citizen deliberator—are not intended to replicate, substitute for, or undermine the work of legislative, regulatory, or professional bodies. The complexity of health care and the uncomfortable financial precipice on which it hangs requires a different level of discussion than those that are typically part of policy formation or rule making. A public deliberative process on tradeoffs among benefits and benefit design can help political and health care leaders arrive at better decisions, and going through the process of gathering input can help garner public support, trust, and buy-in (Wynia and Schwab, 2006).
Accountability for Reasonableness
Using public deliberation as a component of EHB development is wholly consistent with the concept of "accountability for reasonableness" as described in Setting Limits Fairly (Daniels and Sabin, 2008) and the literature on "voice" as described in Exit, Voice and Loyalty (Hirschman, 1970). In a pluralistic society such as the United States, there are often decisions that cannot be answered by science or logic, where different perspectives are competing. When deeply held values point to different policy decisions, the way in which these decisions are made becomes an ethical imperative. Daniels and Sabin's contention is that if the decision process is fair and transparent, the subsequent results are more likely to be ethically justifiable and accepted as legitimate and fair. Although some may be unhappy with the results, they should nonetheless be satisfied that the process for reaching those results was reasonable, participatory, and transparent.

PIERRE, S.D. – The Pierre Post 8 American Legion Baseball program held it's annual Roast Beef Sandwich Fund Raising feed last night at the American Legion Cabin in Pierre. During the two hour fundraiser, the Hometown Hero Award was presented to a pair of men who have helped the baseball program by building a off season pitching, hitting and fielding complex. Daryl and Brad Reinke were presented with the annual award given out by Modern Woodman, who also sponsored last night's fundraiser. The Reinke's along with about 16 other volunteers added batting cages in the empty basement of their business, Reinke Gray Wealth Mangagment this past winter that is open to all players of the Post 8 program. The space also was large enough that players can field ground balls and a couple of pitching mounds were also used. Brad's son and Daryl's grandson, Shay, plays in the Post 8 baseball program. Nearly 50 players used the facility this past winter.

Eagles to win major championships are unlikely by themselves. Mo Martin's was even more unlikely than that.
The diminutive Californian hit her 3-wood approach on the 18th at Birkdale from 240 yards in swirling winds and watched as it rolled toward the hole like a putt. It bounced off the pin and ended up six feet away. She sank the next for her first eagle of the 2014 season, and a one-shot victory at the Women's British Open.

If you're a high school senior still scrambling to make plans for the fall, you might be scoping out community colleges, awaiting anxiously on a wait list, or planning a gap year. But what you might not have thought of is going to college out of the country.
It's not too late. Dozens of schools, mostly in the UK, Ireland and Canada, are still actively looking for American students to fill their classrooms this fall.
Whether this brings to mind visions of cappuccinos and worldly new friends or visa paperwork and confusing currency conversions, the idea is worth considering.
"Overall, an increasing number of American students are indeed going overseas to gain a full degree," says Rajika Bhandari, deputy vice president for research and evaluation at the Institute of International Education. "We now estimate that number at about 46,000."
The draw: Good schools, an international education and tuition bargains.
Prestigious universities like King's College London and Trinity College Dublin are among the places that have reported to the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) that they're still accepting students for their freshman class this fall. Also on the list are many of Canada and the UK's bigger public universities – like University of Guelph and University of Surrey – plus American liberal arts colleges based out of Berlin, Dublin and Switzerland.
Attending college out of the country can be cheaper, too. "If students compare the cost of attending some of the more expensive private universities in the U.S. with options in the UK, Canada and elsewhere they can find more affordable and yet still high quality options," says Eddie West, Director of International Initiatives at NACAC.
Take a look at the tuition and fees for one academic year at the following schools, in US dollars:
American College Dublin (Ireland): $15,088
University of Guelph (Canada): $19,348
Kings College London (UK): $25,481
University of Florida (US): $6,630
Boston College (US): $47,436
Public universities in the US are undoubtedly the cheapest choice (at least barring huge scholarships abroad, says West). But international schools can beat America's pricey private elite colleges, with costs of attendance soaring upwards of $60,000 per year.
With tuition only one part of the equation, here some other tips for applying to and funding school abroad:

Great designers like Verner Panton, Georg Jensen and Arne Jacobsen don't come along every day. Nor do they simply appear out of the ether. Talent needs nurturing and that's what Heal's Discovers is all about. Unearthing the brilliance in our midst.
Each year we bring together the work of the best up-and-coming furniture and homeware designers in an exclusive Heal's Discovers collection.
Belief in designers' environmental responsibility is at the heart of Cox's furniture, which utilises coppiced hazel and high-quality quarter-sawn oak. Visible construction details such as hand-cut dovetailed joints endow these pieces with understated rustic charm.
'I'm very excited to be invited to take part in Heal's Discovers. I've always been influenced by Arts and Crafts furniture, and I wanted these pieces to celebrate the Heal's heritage.'
Clue Dining Table By Matthew Elton
Based in the thriving creative hub of East London, Elton uses high-quality materials and innovative manufacturing processes to create furniture that is modern and traditionally-informed
'The Clue table has weight at the top, but gradually becomes more delicate; the legs taper on both sides from the scoop detail, giving them an elegant, stiletto-like feel.'
Every detail of the Frame seating shows Archer's dedication to sustainable design. From the solid ash or walnut frame to the upholstery, each element is made in the UK making this a striking example of high-quality British craftsmanship.
'One of the key things with sustainability is to minimise the use of materials. Frame is engineered to reduce the amount of fabric needed, without compromising on comfort.'

Sedona, Arizona
It's easy to overlook this ice cream spot because it's jammed into uptown Sedona's beehive of T-shirt shops, tour operators, and time-share hustlers. But this folksy parlor makes its own rich, dense ice cream and crispy waffle cones. Don't miss the prickly pear or malted vanilla.

Born To Be A Star
Selena known for her humility
CORPUS CHRISTI - It's almost like Selena Quintanilla-Perez never left us. She continues to sell albums, to be adored by millions and to inspire the young and young at heart.
She is one of the top five Latin recording artists of all time, even though she was only 23 when she died, according to Nielsen SoundScan. She won the Best Mexican/American Performance Grammy in 1993 for "Selena Live."
Her crossover album "Dreaming of You," which includes four English tracks, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's album chart four months after her death, making Selena the first Latin artist to achieve the title.
"Dreaming of You" has since sold nearly 4 million copies to date, said Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla, according to the Associated Press.
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Selena's death, which is today, EMI Latin has scheduled several releases (CD, DVD and CD/DVD combo) that include "Selena Remembered" that hit stores Jan. 25; "The Last Concert," which went on sale March 15 and "Selena Unforgettable-The Ultimate Collection," a commemorative four disc collector's edition that includes two CDs and two DVDs and will be available April 5. Both CDs became available individually on Tuesday.
The fourth release will be "Selena Vive!" (CD, DVD and CD/DVD combo) which will document the April 7 Houston tribute concert at Reliant Stadium. The "Selena Vive!" CD will be released May 10 and the CD/DVD combo will be available June 7.
Selena was the first female artist signed to the EMI Latin record label in 1989, according to Jose Behar, president and CEO of Univision Music Group who was president and CEO of EMI Latin through 2001.
Behar said Selena possessed "la lagrima," (a teardrop) in her vocal cords because she could evoke such feeling and emotion.
In addition, Selena accomplished a never-before-heard-of feat by earning the title of Tejano Music Awards "Female Vocalist of the Year" for nine straight years (1989 to 1997).
"The music gave her access to the masses," said Behar, who said he was in search of the next Gloria Estefan when he signed Selena to EMI Latin. "That was the vehicle by which she was able to reach people. But once she reached those people, the fans through her music, they connected with her beyond her music."
Radio listeners can still hear Selena songs played on the hour on KSAB 99.9 FM. Her music is on major rotation at Club 98.3 and La Mejor 105.5 (KMJR-FM), according to program director A.C. Cruz.
Music, interviews
Club 98.3 will play Selena music from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. today, and will air interviews from music artists discussing Selena.
"She always has been (one of the top requested artists) even today," said Barbi Leo, KSAB on air personality. "She had a rare connection with her audience that carried on through generations. If somebody's aunt or uncle would listen to music.. the kids would like it."
Continuing to keep Selena's memory alive, her brother A.B. Quintanilla III presents Kumba Kings recently re-recorded the Selena single "Baila Esta Cumbia" using her voice. The song begins with thanks to Selena fans for keeping her music alive and ends with his personal message to his sister.
A.B. Quintanilla put together his own tribute to Selena on "Duetos" released on Tuesday which includes re-recorded tracks with Selena as duets. "If I Could Fall In Love" also is included as a duet with Selena.
The radio stations will hold special Selena memorials that will be broadcast today. KSAB Tejano 99.9, Circle K and KRIS Communications present "Fotos Y Recuerdos" at 6 p.m. at Cole Park that will include a screening of the movie "Selena" at 7:30 p.m.
Personal appeal
Selena's humility and sincerity helped make her so appealing, Behar said.
"I think that has everything to do as much as her music with her longevity and everlasting legacy," he said. "She was the same girl you could see at K-mart amongst the masses, and she wasn't at K-mart with three security guards," Behar explained.
In a recent interview at Q Productions, Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla, described his daughter in this way: "Selena was charismatic. They liked her. I think Selena never saw herself as a star."
Since her death, the Quintanilla family says they have tried to "keep her memory alive through her music."
That effort will be highlighted during Univision's "Selena-Vive!" Tribute Concert at Houston's Reliant Stadium April 7. Univision will broadcast the event live from 7 to 10 p.m.
Many of the world's most famous Latin music stars, including Pepe Aguilar, Ana Barbara, Los Dinos, Gloria Estefan, Fey, Ana Gabriel, Alejandra Guzman, A.B. Quintanilla III Presents the Kumbia Kings, Paulina Rubio, Aleks Syntek, Olga Tanon, Thalia, and Alicia Villarreal will pay tribute to the late Tejano queen.
"It's the biggest concert in the Latin world that has ever united so many top artists in one concert. It's really a history making event," Selena's father said.
If Selena wasn't yet known in the mainstream market prior to her death, people learned of her achievements in the 76-page "People en Espanol" commemorative May 1995 issue.
"..That kind of opened up the eyes of the American corporations that there was a giant market sitting right in front of them that hadn't been tapped," Quintanilla said.
And future fans would also learn of her life story in the 1997 movie "Selena."
"Selena paved the way, not just for women, but for Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony and Shakira because the Selena phenomena awoke the executives of the multinationals (record labels) .. and I think it created the awareness and impetus for other multinationals to seek out Latin talent which could cross over," Behar said.
Recently, during spring break, an average of 200 people a day visited the Selena Museum.
Kelly Galban, who lives in Austin, visited the museum March 16 with her two children, Hollyn, 9, and Geren, 7, her mother, Glenda Martinez, from El Paso, and local resident and friend Pam Majek.
Learned through film
Both Galban, who learned of Selena through watching the movie in 1997, and her daughter Hollyn enjoyed viewing the costumes worn by the Queen of Tejano.
"We have the movie and (Hollyn) watches it all the time," said Galban, whose daughter continues to admire Selena and sing along to "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. "She hears the Selena name and knows a lot more about her (than other artists)."
At the 25th annual Tejano Music Awards held March 19 in Eagle Pass, Selena was remembered during a tribute that included clips of her performances and award speeches.
"Her demise just helped Tejano be recognized at a higher level," said Robert Arellano, board president of the Tejano Music Awards.
Arellano sees Selena's music continue to live, just as that of other music legends Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin.
"We need more females in the industry," Arellano said. "We have some great great talent, but nobody has achieved the Tejano star power that Selena achieved."

Amanda Moore
The prompt for our group was "I saw it the mirror, I saw it in my face"
If eyes are windows to the soul I saw mine in the mirror
Mirrors don't lie they are simply a reflection
Reflections bear witness to our personal reality
Reality is our truth desired or not it is there
There is no running from what hides in our soul
Souls are seen in the mirror and I saw mine in my face
Face what's harbored in my soul…. this is my journey
Journey if you dare it is a centripetal force
This is a loop poem, since there is no info here is a link to show how to do it
(it's really easy = ) ))

UMPI to host talk by artist who works for Switzerland watch company Breguet
The University of Maine at Presque Isle's Art Program will host guest artist Calina Shevlin on Monday, Feb. 27, at 5 p.m. in the Pullen Art Gallery for a talk on the highly skilled art form she practices in the office as well as the art she pursues when she's off the clock. The public is invited to attend this free event.
Shevlin currently works for the prestigious watch manufacturer Breguet in Switzerland – where a good watch can go for about $200,000 – as a guillocheur. Guillocheurs are a rare group of artists who practice the art of guillochage, a very skilled type of engraving used especially in the high-end watch industry. To "guilloche" means to decorate the face of an object with patterns of tiny engraved lines – lines smaller than a single strand of hair. These engravings can be made on the watch face, the back of the watch and on its moving parts.
When she's not creating such intricate patterns for Breguet, Shevlin pursues her own art, which incorporates maps, landscapes and found objects. Her three-dimensional renderings encase some of these elements in small vessels, while layering other pieces on top and in front of the vessels to create her interpretation of a specific place.
Shevlin earned her BFA in Metalsmithing and Jewelry from Arizona State University in 2006. She received her MFA in Metals and Jewelry from the University of North Texas in 2011. Born in Madrid, Spain, Shevlin has had the opportunity to "grow up everywhere and travel to the places" where she hasn't lived.
Shevlin said she has always been inspired by the places she visits and, with her job at Breguet, finds herself traveling to many more places each year, including short day trips around Europe to gather information and materials for her pieces. Shevlin spends time in these places that inspire her for one reason or another, gathering substrate and objects found at her feet, which she later incorporates into pieces – often brooches – that convey the feeling of the place to the viewer and/or wearer.
Shevlin's visit to the University was coordinated by UMPI Assistant Professor of Art Hyrum Benson, who just happens to have a close connection with the artist. The two attended graduate school and worked together in northern Texas. When Benson found out she was coming to Maine to visit a friend downstate, he invited her to pay a visit to UMPI for a guest talk, and Shevlin graciously accepted.
"This is going to be a great opportunity for our Art students and members of the community to meet an artist working overseas in a highly specialized art form," Benson said. "We hope many will turn out to hear Shevlin's talk, which is bound to be engaging and informative."
For more information about this free art talk, which is open to the public, contact the University's Community and Media Relations office at 768-9452. For more information about Shevlin's work, visit www.calliemay.com.

Step 1:
All you need now is prosciutto. Cut about 3 thick slices and reduce them in little cubes. This actually depends on how much dough you make and how much prosciutto you wish to eat! :D
I made half the dose of that pizza recipe and 3 or 4 thick slices of prosciutto were enough for me.
Step 2:
Put everything in a bowl, cover it with a cloth and let it rest for about an hour.

Natural Glow
Trim outside lanterns with bows and simple embellishments. Here, a rustic lantern adorned with simple pinecone and feather trim and a printed ribbon bow. Tie bow first, then wire the embellishments to the bow, leaving enough wire at the ends to attach the bow arrangement to lantern.

Yule Log Candles
Tiny tea lights nestle inside natural logs to create a warm and rustic glow.
Materials and Tools:
Pieces of 3- or 4-inch diameter wood cut into lengths measuring 3" - 6"
Drill and 1-1/2" drill bit
Tea lights in metal cups
Cut logs into different heights. Be sure the logs are cut straight and will stand up securely and remain level. Put logs into a vice. Using the 1-1/2" drill bit, drill into the log about 1" deep into the wood. Be sure the hole is level. Clean away any sawdust, then check to be sure log will sit upright without tipping over. Place tea candle (in metal holder) into the hole, making sure the metal surrounds the entire candle. Safety note: Tea lights burn quickly. Never leave a candle unattended.

Brooke Fraser
ASHLEA BRENEMAN – Please forgive me for the gushing and absolute giddiness that is about to ensue.
I just saw today that Brooke Fraser's new album, flags, comes out October 12th! I LOVED Brooke's last album, Albertine, and have anxiously been waiting for new music. You can preview (and even buy) one of the tracks on the new album called "Something in the Water." It is absolutely delightful!
What makes me even more excited though, is the fact that Brooke will be touring to support the new album and she will be touring in the US! Check out Brooke's website for more info on the album and concert dates.
What's your favorite song off of Brooke's last album? I loved "Albertine," "C.S. Lewis Song" and of course "Shadowfeet."
Are any of you as excited about this as me?
Ashlea Breneman

But as several universities and their Greek organizations have come under fire for excessive drinking and violent behavior, Ivy League schools have stepped up to make changes to the system. With the implementation of new policies and penalties, a few are hoping to curb behaviors often associated with Greek life pledging—and the negative image these behaviors create in the public eye.

Playground nearly finished
A playground renovation at Conejo Creek Park North in Thousand Oaks will be completed Friday and open to the public, officials said.
The renovation features NEOS, a new product bringing electronic gaming to the outdoor play space.
NEOS' design includes four columns with interactive sound and buttons. The buttons light up in random sequence.
With nine games and three skill levels to choose from, one or more players can have their scores recorded, making NEOS competitive and challenging while improving agility, balance, fitness and social skills, according to park officials.
"We are very excited to complete this renovation and provide the community with this one-of-a-kind product," said Tom Hare, administrator for parks and planning with the Conejo Recreation and Park District.
The $235,000 project included the installation of NEOS and other improvements including swings, a seesaw, boulders and a large, play structure that incorporates full accessibility with transfer decks, he said.
To celebrate the completion of the renovation, officials plan to hold a ribbon-cutting at 9 a.m. March 29.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will include a NEOS invitational tournament, featuring eight elementary school children from local schools.
"It is a fun game to play at any age," Hare said.

More Precious Than Gold
Being involved with Compassion, both as an employee and as a sponsor, has allowed me — and sometimes forced me — to consider things that I used to not give a whole lot of attention to.
One of those things garnering more of my attention lately is the many blessings God has given me.…

Home School, Job Search and Sponsor a Child
Hi, my name is Stephan Archer. I joined Compassion a few months ago as the U.S. Communication Specialist. Although I am in the business of communicating from day to day, this is my first attempt at blogging, so bear with me as I try to figure this out.
My calling to Compassion was really a journey…

In 1959, the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria granted autocephaly to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and elevated the Archbishop to the Patriarchal dignity and was enthroned with the title of: Patriarch and Re'ese Liqane Papasat Echege (Catholicos) of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. The title of Ichege (Supreme Abbot) of the See of St. Tekle Haimanot of Debre Libanos was subsumed into the Patriarchate. The title of Ichege was revived and the title of Archbishop of Axum was added to the Patriarchal titles in 2005, as Axum was the seat of Ethiopia's first Bishop, and the thus the oldest see in the church.

the scientific community is poised to make great progress toward understanding and predicting the complexity of the Earth system. However, building a predictive capability relies strongly on the availability of intercalibrated long-term data records, which can only be maintained if subsequent generations of satellite sensors overlap with their predecessors. As the decadal survey points out, the capability to observe Earth from space is jeopardized by delays in and lack of funding for many critical satellite missions.
The decadal survey and this committee both recommend that the nation's commitment to continue Earth observations from space be renewed. Resources will be required to maintain the current momentum and not risk losing the workforce and infrastructure built over the past decades. Given the many scientific challenges ahead, we have seen only the beginning of an era of Earth observations from space. A report in 50 years will present many more significant achievements and discoveries and highlight how satellites played a vital role in observing the dynamics of the Earth system and in guiding our nation and others in meeting the challenges posed by global changes.

The Ashley Ridge girls remain undefeated in region play but the Swamp Fox boys are still looking for their first region win.
The Lady Swamp Foxes held Beaufort to only 2 points in the opening period Tuesday and rode that momentum to a 55-28 home victory.
Ashley Ridge improved to 11-4 on the season with a 3-0 mark in Region 8-AAAA with the win.
I thought our girls played hard but we were sloppy on the offensive end, Ashley Ridge coach Chris Shaw said.
Some of our bench players stepped up including Morgan Bowers, Shamaria Myers and Jada Speights. They gave us a good lift and should continue to help us as the season moves on.
Shelby Daly scored a game-high 11 points to pace the Lady Swamp Foxes. Ariel Glover added 9 points.
Seven other Ashley Ridge players scored 4 or more points in the game.
On Friday, the Lady Swamp Foxes make the short trip to Summerville to face the Lady Green Wave, which is also 3-0 in region play.
Its nice to be 3-0 in the region but we have some huge games coming up and we are going to need to play much better and get contributions from everybody, Shaw said.
The Ashley Ridge boys dropped to 0-3 in region play with a 54-46 loss to Beaufort.
Corbin Landers scored 14 points for the Swamp Foxes, but the Eagles had several players with the hot hand.
Jawan Mack scored 16 points and Adonis Grant added 15 to help the Eagles improve to 14-2 on the season.
One of Beauforts losses came in a region game with Summerville so now those two teams are tied for second place in the region behind Bluffton.
Ashley Ridge Girls 55,
Beaufort Girls 28
Beaufort: 2, 8, 12, 628
Ashley Ridge: 12, 17, 10, 16-55

I love this place. Han Bat is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The food is great and thankfully for a big eater like me, comes in healthy portions. You can't really go wrong with any of the choices from what I've tried, but my go-to-dishes are the gobdol bibimbab and bulgogi. Delicious.

If you like Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese or even Thai food, Korean food may not be your liking. I wanted a real korean food experience so I didn't order the fried rice, noodle or bbq but a couple of uniquely korean dishes: the pork and sausage stew with its array of small preserved vegetable dishes and a bowl of "on-knee" ox meat with its accompanying soup. The latter is just beef tendon meat, nothing new to chinese cuisine. The portion was generous and yummy if you like that type of meat but you'll have to season it yourself. The pork stew was so foreign to any asian dish I've had. It had no hints of the other asian cuisine but was probably uniquely korean. It was inedible, the korean sausage tasted like vienna sausage, the korean ham tasted like luncheon meat, the porkbelly was dry and lacked any flavor. It was spicy but had no savoryness to it. It was just so bizarre! But if you enjoy spicy,pungent, and a change up from safe asian cuisine, this is a good place to start your korean food adventures.

I eat here when I am in NYC and am craving Korean Food. The service is always friendly, the restaurant clean and the food delicious. I have only eaten the Bi Bim Bap in the stone pot because you can't find anything like it in Hawai`i. The best part is the crunchy rice at the end of the meal (the rice that sticks to the stone pot). So `Ono (delicious).

I like the Sul Run Tang. Fast delivery. Cheaper than other Korean places. Thank you Han bat!

This place consistently serves the best Korean food in the city. I've been going here for a number of years now and can always count on great food and generous portions. Highly recommend.

i'm korean from korea. this is the place i go when i miss homey korean food. especially the soups - spicy beef and scallion soup and bean paste soup are my favorites. always reliable and never pretentious. i recently "discovered" that they deliver too. i feel bad ordering just one soup dish but can't resist odering in, especially during cold days. thank you for delivering home comfort. from ###third ave girl

A co-worker introduce me to Han Bat and I found the food quite amazing. I love it so much that I had it again the following work week! I also that the prices were quite responsible.

Asian Market & Take Out in Rockland
Mid Coast Asian Foods - apparently it opened several months ago, but I just found out about it. It's a teeny tiny hole-in-the wall sort of a place (usually a good sign in my book) with a couple tables and folding chairs for those who choose to eat in and a small room on the side with a limited amount of Asian groceries (rice, noodles, tins of curry paste, fish sauce, etc...). I'm told the market part is slowly growing, and they plan to add some homemade sauces and curries to the refrigerated section.
The prepared Thai food is reasonably priced, and the items we tried were delicious. The entrees were on the smallish side, so I recommend getting an appetizer if you're really hungry. I'm under the impression that it's pretty authentic, but I'm definitely not an authority - I'd love to hear some input from others on that.
It's a challenge to find the place - I failed in my first attempt and had to try again another day. It's on Leland Street, on the left side at the back of the building where Oh Bento used to be. If you stand in the Wasses parking lot with your back to route 1 you'll be looking right at it. There is no sign on the front of the building, just a little one on the side near their entrance.
Anyway, I'm thrilled to have found out about it. It's a great addition to the limited take-out options in the area, and it could also save me some trips to Portland for groceries.
Typical- I live in Rockland for three years, then they open a new take-out/grocery the minute I move to Bath. :)
Thanks for the heads-up, Cassoulet! I'll be sure to check it out next time I'm in town- then I can send my husband on errands (since he still works in Rockland)!
I've been a couple of times and it's terrific. And extremely well priced. I've had Thai food cooked by a woman from Thailand who's also now a caterer in the Westchester NY area and from what I've tasted with her cooking, this Rockland place is pretty authentic. We are so lucky here!

I do not disagree with these statements. In fact, having been a recruitment consultant myself, I know them to be true. What I do disagree with is how you are marketing this message.
How much do recruitment organisations market their people? With most agencies not that much. There are two main reasons for this; 1) Managers don't trust their employees, 2) If a person leaves they take their "brand" with them.
What should you be doing as a business?
You need to have faith in your people. Offer individuals both the support and tools to get their message across online. If you trust them to pick up the phone to a client and you trust them to email a candidate, then you should trust them to represent themselves and your business online. Most people want to be rewarded financially for a job well done, but many just want to be shown that they are doing a good job. If you market a consultant as an expert you are telling them that you believe in them. This can be as valuable as a bonus or a pay rise in many cases. What can you do to help market your stars?
Your consultants spend the whole day selling themselves to prospective candidates and clients. They try to impress everyone with their market knowledge, expertise and demonstrate how much they know about their industry. These bits of information are gold dust. Get them to share these to a wider market and they become a goldmine.
What tools do you give them? With online marketing there are so many tools that consultants can use on a day to day basis to help get their message across. Social media is perfect! If your consultants aren't on LinkedIn then they should be. Get them to post up relevant information to their network. Advise them to share content, news, articles they have read in LinkedIn groups.
Twitter is a fantastic way of spurting out little bite size chunks of knowledge. Get your consultants to have an account where they can share stuff. If you have consultants is passionate about other things beside just recruitment, and they aren't socially inept, let them share this with their clients/candidates. Allow them to mix business with pleasure in their Twitter stream – after all it is called social-networking.
Social networks allow your business to go from being This Corporate Company to a business that is made up of its people. This injection of personality could make the difference between being the third person a line manager calls when they need a role filling, to the first on the list.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - It turns out men and women really are different at heart. New research finds that heart transplant patients have better odds of surviving and a lower risk of rejection if they get organs from donors of the same sex.
Size may be part of the explanation. Men's hearts are bigger than women's and have greater pumping capacity. But doctors think differences in hormones or immune systems between the sexes may also play a role.
The study was paid for by the federal government and led by a cardiac surgery researcher at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Dr. Eric Weiss. He presented his findings at an American Heart Association conference in New Orleans.
Unfortunately for many patients, the findings won't make much of a difference. The average wait for a heart is 108 days for women and 119 for men. Three-fourths of heart transplants are done in men, so by necessity, many must receive organs from the opposite sex.

They don't grow as big as blue, flatheads or channels. So what are the pros of having them in our waters?
They don't grow as big as blue, flatheads or channels. So what are the pros of having them in our waters?
1. invasive specie...they get there all on their own for the most part, are there for the most part at lower numbers...but in new lakes, get big numbers early, that then tend to diminish.
2. urban fisheries: hardy fish, readily bite many kinds of bait, live/thrive in marginal water quality...great for young people/families who are just getting into fishing...or nostalgic old guys. When you think about it, there's really ver little difference between stocked trout and bullhead. 'cept the bullhead fight harder.
now personally? I am a huge fan of bullheads. grew up fishing for them and love them to this day. then again, while now I fish primarily for bass...there just aren't any (okay Daryl, maybe ONE ) specie that I would not willingly/knowingly target...and as I get older, I'm less inclined to even be 'that' elitist.
there's a whole bunch of tribal knowledge surrounding fishing/fish species...stuff 'we all know'...and a whole lot of it is stupid-wrong.
Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.
Gone, but never forgotten!

In newly built, or renovated lakes that are connected to creeks and streams, bullheads find their way in, and flourish in these new waters. Often creating a nice forage base for predator fish. Once the bass and cats, or pike and walleye get big enough to start munching on them, the population decreases significantly.
Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.
Gone, but never forgotten!
bradh (07-31-2013), Val Didrichsons (07-31-2013)
as for stocking bullheads into places like Benson Park lagoon...makes a lot of sense.
and those are some great photos, showing exactly why it can be a good idea to stock them...thanks Holdem.
NEBucks (07-31-2013)
Exactly what they have said above, Chris. Cats and bass love to eat bullheads. If you have a large population of bullheads, especially small bullheads, there's a good chance the population of predators is lacking.
NEFGA is endorsed by Pond Boss
Get all your pond questions answered by the experts at Pond Boss!
Just want to add a couple of things. . . .
First of all black and yellow bullheads are NOT invasive species, they are native species. Black bullheads are common throughout Nebraska, are a species that can tolerate a wide range of water quality and habitat conditions are are quick to take advantage of any new waters. Simply put, in most waters it ain't a matter of anyone wanting black bullheads or not, they are there and their ain't any guarantee that you can entirely eliminate them.
Bullheads can cause fisheries management problems, but the waters in which they are a problem usually have bigger issues. For example, bullheads can tolerate low oxygen levels, so an old farm pond that has silted in over the years may not be able to support largemouth bass and bluegills through a hard winter, but the bullheas survive and then dominate the pond. As has been pointed out, if there are healthy populations of predators like largemouth bass, bullheads will NOT be a problem. Even though they have sharp spines, everything LOVES to eat small bullheads.
As has also been pointed out, bullheads are a great fish for beginning anglers. There are more than a few anglers who started their fishing careers catching a bunch of "yellow bellies". We do very limited stocking of catchable-size bullheads in a few recreation area waters simply to provide opportunities for beginning anglers, kids, to catch fish!
And believe it or not, there are folks who like to fish for bullheads and like to eat bullheads. I occasionally get calls from folks looking for good places to go bullhead fishing. Years ago I had a great aunt who had a standing order to bring her all the bullheads we could catch. Just because you or I may not spend any time fishing for bullheads, does not mean that there are not other anglers out there who do.
It is all fishing and it is all good.

The Minnesota Joke is they are called "Iowa Walleye". I guess the Iowa folks would come up to fish for Big Bullheads in droves.

When I was a kid in a tiny town in NE Kansas, I would ride my bike with my buddies holding a fishing pole and a can of worms out to a little farm pond at the edge of town. It was teeming with 10 to 12 inch bullheads. And my mother loved them. Was her favorite fish to eat. And I caught her a steady diet of them. Great memories.
Don't let anybody else dictate how good your fishing trip or your day was. If you made memories, enjoyed the scenery, and were at peace with yourself and those around you, you had an awesome trip. God Bless
jamesreed (07-31-2013)
I am in my mid 20's and I love to fish for and eat bullhead. Soak them in buttermilk overnight and fry them up, then they taste just like channel cat. Nothing wrong with bullhead. Plus catching bullhead is better than catching no fish at all. Just saying.
I would agree with everything said above especially that if there are enough predator fish you won't recognize them. Davis Creek used to be loaded with them then one year the lake started producing lots of BIG walleyes and now has tons of walleyes and other predators. Also with the boom in predators you don't catch any bullheads now.
Grade school and Junior High was the bullhead years for me. The river produced them in abundance and an old pond out in the country that you could only get to on foot across an old railroad tressel. That pond was so loaded that as soon as the bobber and nightcrawler hit the water, a bullhead had done swallowed the hook. I am pretty sure that pond is still there to this day and probably even harder to get to. But I bet that pond has some state record bullheads and since you brought this up I might have to drive the extra miles just to find out.
If they are still there I will be sure to let you all know. You could supply a fish fry in no time if bullheads is your dish!
when I see those schools of bullheads in new lakes, I expect to find very very fat bass/predators.
Daryl: thanks for the correction. My intent was to use the word 'invader' which I was taught a very long time ago in reference to species like green sunfish and bullheads...that MOVE into every nook/cranny of water available
Now, Harold: have a field day with the use of 'nook/cranny' with regard to aquatic systems!.
Interesting information you guys, thanks.
Nothing like fried bullhead for breakfast.
A buddy and myself used to beg my grandpa to take us fishing, more often than not, the fish we went home with were bullheads. The buddy is an now an ex-NE fisheries biologist who has fished many different states, myself I have fished 4 states and 3 countries this year and what do we talk most about... yep fishing for bullheads 40 yrs ago.
Still some of my favorite childhood memories are from bullheads, too. the town pond on West end of Wilber where I grew up, out by the high school, was a short bike ride from my home and full of bullheads. Never caught any that were big at all, but we did keep a few larger ones to eat. I will also never forget my first master angler bullheads...after all those years of catching them in 6" to 8" or so range, finally found a pond with a few that were over 15" and I was SHOCKED at how big those looked compared to my childhood bullhead experiences. I had one at 16" that I could literally fit the end of a Pepsi can in its mouth! Bullheads are tough creatures, too. We used to work one pond in summer to dredge off some of the top when it dried up in certain summer periods...and we would scrape up these little horseshoe shaped things in the gooey muck in the areas were a little water was left. If you put them in a bucket of water...pretty soon the gills would start pumping and they started swimming around, incredible. When I was little I used to think they were somehow related to bullfrogs (color, other features, etc.) at least in my simple mind that is. Also, when I was at a lake with any bullhead population when I was young, of course I would always start out trying for the "cool" fish like bass, bluegill, etc. but if I was not getting any bites, especially if the water was a little turbid from say recent rains...I could always find some bait around (worms from under a rock, grubs, crickets, grasshoppers, whatever I could scrounge up onsite) and count on a bullhead or two to prevent the trip from being a total skunked outing. Bullheads saved the day for me on most occasions!Jim

Glens loves bullheads!
He keeps asking is "this" a flathead? Because I really would like to my first flathead catfish. I have to respond "No, that's just a shovelhead bullhead"....to this day he still hasn't figured out....I normally tell him, "I guess you have to keep trying different spots"
