MASSENA - The MMH Community Coalition, a group that hopes to keep Massena Memorial Hospital from going private, will hold a meeting at 5 p.m. Aug. 5 at Dars Place in downtown Massena.
The meeting is open to anyone, including community members, hospital employees, community leaders, friends, family and neighbors who would like more information about keeping Massena Memorial Hospital a community-owned hospital, organizers said Thursday in a press release.
Individuals are urged to attend, ask questions and help keep Massena Memorial Hospital as a public hospital, they said.
Jason Garcia, a member of the MMH Community Coalition who said he was born at Massena Memorial and has been a community member since that day, said they want to involve the community in the fight to keep MMH from becoming a private, non-for-profit hospital. The group was established earlier this year over concerns about hospital officials deciding to look into privatization.
We have meetings frequently. Were trying to get out there and advertise more to get more people, especially community members, involved. Obviously this is not just a hospital employee issue. This is an issue that impacts everybody, Mr. Garcia said.
The informal Aug. 5 meeting will include an open discussion about the current situation, as well as alternatives to privatization.
We want people to get involved, to come and ask questions. I think a lot of people believe it only affects people who work at the hospital, but it affects everybody in the community. It affects businesses in the community with the hospital being the third largest employer in the area, Mr. Garcia said.
We havent put tons of information out. I think theres a lot of misconceptions. The coalition is not anti-hospital. Its more of pro-public hospital, he said.
Members of the Massena Memorial Hospital Board of Managers voted this week to hire the law firm of Hancock Estabrook, LLP, Syracuse, at a cost not to exceed $100,000 to explore transitioning from a municipal hospital to a private, non-for-profit entity.
The study will consist of three phases. Phase one, which is expected to take two to three months, will include the study of all contracts, such as vendors and employees to see if anything would prohibit the transition from a public to a private facility.
Phase two would the implementation phase in which the paperwork such as a Certificate of Need would be filed to begin the conversion process. That could take one or two months.
Phase three would be the time when they would go through the Internal Revenue Service to acquire their tax-exempt status. That could take for to six months.
The study is being done to determine if its feasible to become a private, non-for-profit facility in the wake of projected losses of millions of dollars over the next 10 years.
MMH Charles F. Fahd II has said they were looking at a projected $15 million loss in reimbursements over the next 10 years and a directive by the state commissioner of health to explore options such as collaborating, affiliating, merging or sharing with other facilities, leaving them with little choice but to investigate the move.
Mr. Fahd said its options as a municipal hospital are limited, and it cannot absorb the projected losses its facing in the years ahead. Those include a reduction of $10.5 million in Medicare reimbursement over the next 10 years because of the federal Affordable Care Act; a $1.9 million reduction in Medicaid reimbursement over the next 10 years because of sequestration; and a $2.7 million reduction in Medicaid reimbursement over the next 10 years because of inpatient coding adjustments.
On top of that, he said, what was a $124,200 contribution to the states pension program in 2002 has jumped to $4.4 million in December 2013, with a project $4.8 million contribution in December 2014.
In addition to the loss of Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements and the increased pension costs, the state Department of Health also wants north country hospitals to seek formal affiliations, collaboration, merger or other sharing agreements to reduce duplicated services such as capital equipment acquisition and overall health care expenses in the region.
But, as a municipal hospital, Massena Memorial is unable to do that because of the taxpayer money involved.
We have to do something, there is no doubt, Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said during Mondays Board of Managers meeting. MMH is headed into unknown, rough financial waters, and we need to be prepared for whatever comes our way.
He suggested the Board of Managers and management needed to expeditiously move forward with their research on the different possible options for MMHs future.
Members of the MMH Community Coalition, who have had a presence at recent Board of Managers and Massena Town Council meetings, have opposed the proposed move.
Their fear, they have said, is that by privatizing Massena Memorial, residents would be giving up control over the hospital; accountability for patient health; health care services that are not seen as profitable; retirement security for workers; good-paying, middle class jobs; and wages that are spent in the local community.
They said the hospital belongs to all taxpayers in the town of Massena, who should have control over its destiny, control of the quality of care provided and control of what services are or are not provided.
For example, Mr. Garcia said, the hospitals Dialysis Clinic was established based on community need.
To my knowledge its not a money-maker for the hospital. To my knowledge it actually loses money. Its there because the community needs it. Were afraid that if (the hospital) goes private some hard decisions might have to be made, he said.
And that, Mr. Garcia, might mean the end of services such as the Dialysis Clinic.
They have asked residents to write letters to members of the Massena Town Council and also sign a petition at https://www.change.org/petitions/keep-mmh-public. They also have a Facebook page located at https://www.facebook.com/ourmmh.
I think theyre doing good. The petition signing has toned down a little bit because its on the back burner. Were doing a lot of other things trying to get people involved, Mr. Garcia said.
The Massena Town Board would have ultimate approval if research indicated the move would be beneficial.
Members of the MMH Community Coalition said more information about their efforts is available by attending the Aug. 5 meeting. Those who cant attend but would like to support their efforts or get involved can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our time to fight for Our MMH is dwindling. The time to get involved is now, they said.
Mr. Garcia said theyve offered cost-cutting suggestions to management in an effort to ease the financial burden, but none have been implemented.
We just dont believe (privatization) is the way to go. We all have the same goal in mind, whether its the hospital board, town board, community or employees. We wall want to continue quality health care, Mr. Garcia said.

NASA employees face second identity theft scare
Stolen laptop, NASA documents could lead to tax fraud
Less than 12 months after dozens of National Aeronautics and Space Administration fire and safety employees had their Social Security numbers stolen a second "potential compromise" has been reported in Washington.
NASA Associate Deputy Administrator Richard J. Keegan Jr., issued a letter to Space Coast employees confirming the theft of " official NASA documents and a laptop computer" from an employee's " locked vehicle."
According to Keegan NASA learned of the break-in on October 31, 2012. The notice to employees was delivered two weeks ago.
Richard Thomas a fire and safety employee with NASA's Kennedy Space Center, says he couldn't believe it was happening again. Thomas says he discovered someone else had filed a tax return using his personal identity last year.
He is one of 39 local NASA employees caught in the tax identity web. Thomas' social security number was used by an imposter who filed for a $12,198 refund.
Thomas says he received a check in his name for the same amount even though he owed the IRS $200.
Union President Kevin Smith says the only common link is applications filed with G4S Government Solutions, the company brought in by NASA to hire fire and safety employees last year.
The company said it investigated and found no security system breach. According to Smith G4S "did not look for internal problems or an internal mole."
The October theft is different but the potential damage is the same.
NASA has advised employees that it will encrypt all employee personal information and provided every employee that might be impacted with a year of protection from "ID Experts," a firm that specializes in identity monitoring.
Law enforcement agencies say the TAX identity theft can happen to anyone.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey says tax payers need to check their credit reports several times a year because thieves will collect identifications and then hit" in waves."
"The national average is 12.7 months before you know you are a victim of identity theft," Ivey says.
IRS Special Agent Casey Tyska says the agency has ways "of tracing it back to the individual who did it."
Tyska says the tax Identity thieves range from teens to drug dealers.
"The drug dealers have turned to this (tax theft) as opposed to dealing in drugs only because they get more money and there's less chances initially of getting caught," Tyska said.
IRS agent Michael Dobzinski says you should immediately contact local law enforcement if you discover your social security number or other personal information has been compromised.
"Identity theft is a problem nationwide" Dobzinski said, everyone should remember never to carry you social security card with you and don't give your number to anyone over the phone unless you know the source."

Ghost dog finally makes it home
Five years of muck, dirt and matting are apparent in Sadie, the corgi golden retriever mix previously known as the ghost dog of Allenstown. After she was shaved, she was much happier, Holly Mokrzeck of Granite State Dog Recovery said. (Courtesy)
ALLENSTOWN — After five years of roaming the streets and woodlands, a lost dog, nicknamed the ghost dog, has been reunited with its Allenstown family.
For five years, the so-called ghost dog lived off scraps and survived blizzards, sometimes being seen with icicles hanging off its face in cold weather. For years residents and the local police assumed the ghost dog was merely a dog let out by its owner, but after nearly hitting it with her car, a concerned resident called the Granite State Dog Recovery, who then captured the ghost dog and discovered its origins.
"We were shocked to find that she has a microchip, and that her name is Sadie. She was a Katrina dog who lost her family and home in the hurricane, and soon after she was adopted by a family in Allenstown. Five years ago she ran away, dragging her leash," said Holly Mokrzecki, founder and vice-president of the GSDR.
Mokrzecki said the family adopted Sadie from the Greater Nashua Humane Society five years ago as a birthday present for one of their children. Sadie escaped only five hours after being adopted, leaving from a park about three miles away from where she was found last week.
Mokrzecki said Sadie's family, who declined to be interviewed for this article, were happy to have her back.
"They said that when they adopted her they agreed to be her forever home, and even though five years have passed, that still remains true," Mokrzecki said.
Sadie, a golden retriever corgi mix, is now eight and quickly went from skittish to loving after being caught.
"When she was in the wild, she was in survival mode. She was very skittish, and bolted the second you moved towards here. But once we caught her, she was the greatest dog you can imagine. She gave us the sweetest thank you ever, like she knew she was saved," Mokrzecki said.
Susan Piche, a volunteer for GSDR, said she spent hours tracking down Sadie's owner after scanning her microchip with the Dog Recovery's scanner. With some of the information not up to date, Piche said she had to play Internet sleuth to find Sadie's family.
"This is my second sort-of job, but we are all volunteers, and there is nothing better than watching a lost dog reunited with its family," Piche said.
Lt. Paul Paquette of the Allenstown Police Department said that the department has been aware of Sadie for years, and that they have tried to catch her many times, but couldn't get close enough.
"It just kept running away, and it looked fairly healthy so I figured someone just let it out," Paquette said.
While Sadie's fur was dirty, matted and had to be shaved off, she was relatively healthy despite spending the last five years scrounging for scraps and handouts.
"In fact, if anything, she was obese from all the junk food she was eating," Mokrzecki said.
The Granite State Dog Recovery has about 25 volunteers who in 2013 alone have reunited 623 lost dogs with their families.
"It takes up a lot of time, but it is very rewarding" Mokrzecki said.
Granite State Dog Recovery has a website at granitestatedogrecovery.com a Facebook.com page, and a hotline, 1-855-639-LOST (5678), where anyone can report a lost dog.

BGA: Jets at Titans – Part Two (Defense/ST)
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
This analysis is based on watching and re-watching TV footage. As such, it is not always possible to accurately determine everything that was going on. However, every effort has been made to ensure that the information below is as complete and correct as possible.
We're recapping last night's debacle against the Titans. If you missed part one, go here.
After the jump, we look at he positional analysis for the defense and special teams…
How do we define how well somebody played? Simple. We look at the things they did well and the things they did badly and then we weigh up whether their overall contribution was positive and try to compare that with how well anyone else would have done if put in the same situation. Unfortunately, this can lead to situations where someone does mostly good, but the few mistakes they do make are so costly, it undermines any good they might have done. I guess it could work the other way too. If you play badly but then make the key play that wins your team the game, for example.
It's the same for the team. Sometimes they play well and lose due to some costly one-off plays. Other times they'll play badly and get rescued by a big play at the end. This makes my job tricky, because while I want to be as comprehensive as possible, nobody should be focusing on a quietly effective performance that was wrecked by one or two stupid mistakes.
Last night's game was a great example of this, perhaps the most egregious since the Broncos game last year. The Jets defense gave up two touchdowns, one on a single breakdown and another on a bad series of plays. Other than those two instances, they played well. They made plays, controlled the line of scrimmage and will mostly grade out positively. Those plays, however, were enough to lose them the game, so we should give them special attention.
I'm therefore going to ringfence those and discuss them here. What that means is that most of the positional analysis will be positive, but I'm making the point that those positive contributions don't matter as much when you allow these things to happen.
I've watched the Chris Johnson 94-yard touchdown run about a hundred times to try and figure out how it happened. The Titans had a second down, deep in their territory, trailing 3-0 and probably weren't going to risk a pass, so if the Jets could stop the run, which they did effectively all day (73 yards on 29 other carries), they'd likely get the ball back in great field position. So how did they manage to let Johnson go untouched up the middle for 94 yards?
It starts up front. Sione Po'uha was two-gapping against former Jets cast-off Kyle DeVan and Mike DeVito was double-teamed by the right guard and right tackle. DeVan managed to get inside leverage so that there was a seam between Po'uha and DeVito.
At the next level, the linebackers have to play the gaps. This is where the major breakdown occurred. David Harris was responsible for the gap to Po'uha's left. He couldn't vacate that gap, otherwise Johnson would have taken that seam instead. Then when he tried to get across, he'd been drawn in too close to the line of scrimmage and couldn't get over Po'uha before Johnson burst though that hole. Not entirely his fault though.
Someone needed to play the gap to Po'uha's right and that presumably should be Bart Scott. However, Scott hesitates and doesn't get there in time. His initial step is to the left, as his primary responsibility would be the fullback, Quinn Johnson. Johnson heads right while the rest of the action is to the left. So what does Scott see that causes him not to shift back to his right and stay at home in that central lane?
The image shows the initial problem. LaRon Landry, lined up directly opposite Craig Stevens on the right side of the offensive line has been driven inside and back off the line. At the start of the play, he'd have been in position to bottle up a run in the lane inside Calvin Pace. However, by getting blown off the line, he's now no longer in position to do that. This forces Scott into a decision at the moment where I've frozen the image. If he shifts back to the right, there is a HUGE lane over right tackle and he's going to get caught inside. The gap up the middle appears to be about to be bottled up. Scott also might not be able to see the handoff and the direction of the run from his position.
This is not to excuse Scott, just to try and understand his thought process. Ordinarily the most disciplined defender they have in the running game, it does seem clear he was forced into a situation where he had to guess one way or the other and guessed wrong. There's no way he could have backed off and keep his options open though, because that would have just left him trying to tackle Johnson in the open field, which wouldn't likely have ended well either.
It's another bad run fit and a sign of the thin line between success and failure. Po'uha lost leverage and DeVito couldn't get downhill fast enough, so there was a small seam between them, but big enough for Johnson to burst through. With Johnson's speed, that means he's accelerating away before anyone else can react and it gets compounded by Landry allowing Stevens to turn him back to the outside and Harris being unable to get over Po'uha.
What the image doesn't show is Kyle Wilson, who had backed off on the left side, but then saw the same thing Scott did and came up fast on the left to try and close that gaping lane over right tackle. Just as he did that, Johnson burst up the middle and Wilson had overpursued badly, leaving Yeremiah Bell looking like a deer in the headlights downfield. Maybe the Jets thought they recognized something they saw on film and the Titans exploited this by breaking a tendency. Either way, it only takes a couple of blunders like this combined with the explosiveness of a player like Johnson (or Victor Cruz) and suddenly you have almost as many yards on one play as the Jets managed in the entire first half.
The second touchdown, which came immediately after the Jets themselves had finally scored a touchdown, came on a seven play drive. Three of those plays were an incomplete long ball where Locker got nailed as he threw it and two runs that went for a couple of yards each, so even on this drive, the Jets almost batted .500. Of the other four plays, three saw Kyle Wilson targeted three times for first downs as he was too far off his man. That's an example of the defense as a unit doing its job and one guy letting them down. Finally, Locker ran in the winning score as once again several guys were unable to prevent the play being successful. Muhammad Wilkerson was prevented from getting into the backfield in time to stop the rollout, Quinton Coples was blocked at the point of attack, David Harris was taken out of the play by a slot receiver (on a blatant hold, but whatever), Scott got cut to the ground on the weakside, Bell got driven into the end zone by the left tackle and Ellis Lankster couldn't get off his block in time downfield.
They looked bad on those few plays, but many of these players actually had good games. The Jets' formula has been to play disciplined and keep games tight and it barely worked against two bad teams over the last couple of games. Unfortunately, when a team like the 4-9 Titans is making the big plays that win games, it sums up why the Jets formula doesn't always work. There's no margin of error and it's unrealistic to expect no errors. Unfortunately, you're always going to end up with one error too many.
Let's look at who at least held up their part of the bargain…
Defensive Line
While the Jets lost, some people had already written off their playoff chances. For those people, positive signs that could extend beyond this season and into the near future are much more valuable than a labored 17-14 win which merely prolongs the agony would be. So for those people, the biggest silver lining continues to be the ascent to superstardom of Wilkerson. Wilkerson had two pressures, batted a pass, made two tackles for losses and was in on two other tackles close to the line of scrimmage. He also had a hustle play on third down to force a punt and was only really blocked out of a couple of plays. While PFF grades are not the be-all-and-end-all, it is pretty remarkable to note that his cumulative grade for the whole season is 8th in the entire NFL.
We're all hoping that Coples is on a similar development curve. Right now, he's a better pass rusher than Wilkerson was last year, but not as good against the run. That held true last night too, as he had a sack, a hit and a pressure but was blocked out of some running plays. Interestingly, his hit came as he rushed the passer from a standing position (ie rush linebacker on the weakside). I think that could be the solution to the one of the spots that will become open due to the depature of Pace and/or Thomas at the end of the year.
Po'uha continues to be pretty consistent, and is no longer getting driven off the line while still not being quite as dominant as in the past. Last year, that Johnson run probably wouldn't have happened because he'd have leveraged DeVan into the runner's path. He did almost get a sack and stuffed a couple of runs in the fourth quarter.
Mike DeVito's contributions went almost unnoticed. He had a great game, setting the tone with a pressure on Locker's first throw and then blowing up several plays near the line with penetration while getting in on four himself. There's an argument to be had that he's their best pending free agent. If the Jets aren't sold on Po'uha being able to improve physically, I wonder if they would let him go and give most of his money to DeVito instead.
Finally, Kenrick Ellis is slowly making his way back. He stuffed one run and was tough to move on a few other plays. It's been obvious he isn't the same player he was prior to that knee injury, but hopefully this is another guy who will contribute more next season. At the absolute least, he's a reliable rotational guy.
As usual, Scott and Calvin Pace came in for a lot of criticism after the game and it did seem like Scott erred on that Johnson touchdown. However, both actually played well. This is another example of them clearly doing a good job most of the time, but making costly enough mistakes to undermine their performance and lead to a loss. Pace has had a rough year, but this was definitely one of his better games. He played every snap and had a pressure, two tackles for losses and drew a hold. He also got credit for a sack, although it was a Calvin Pace special, chasing the quarterback out of bounds for a short loss. The only play where he was really at fault was on a rollout play where he chased the quarterback along with Scott instead of staying with his man – Stevens – who caught a dumpoff pass for the first down. Maybe he is better in Bryan Thomas' role. As for Scott, he also drew a hold and blew up several runs and one screen pass, getting in on the tackle himself on plays close to the line of scrimmage four times. Clearly he's not the player he once was, but you do have to wonder how much of an effect that has had if Jon Gruden's claims that he has had to wear shoes 1½ sizes too big are accurate.
Harris also made three stops for short gains, but gave up a couple of big plays on a blown coverage down the middle and a Locker scramble and didn't generate any pressure when blitzing.
Garrett McIntyre was in on 40 snaps and while he did have a sack and also a tackle in the pocket that ended up being for a short gain, he missed a tackle and was ineffective against the run. The Jets activated Ricky Sapp but elected not to give him any playing time.
The only other linebacker to get any reps was Demario Davis, who was in on eight snaps.
Defensive Backs
As noted above, Wilson struggled particularly badly this week. Both he and Ellis Lankster were guilty of playing too far off their man on a few catches, but Wilson in particular had a hard time, giving up five for 66. On two other targets, his man dropped the ball and his man made the catch but came down out of bounds with Wilson shoving him out. Wilson did make one good play where he made a solid open field tackle on third down. However, while his tackling has been very good this year, it left a lot to be desired on two of the plays he gave up on the touchdown drive. Lankster just gave up three catches for 24 yards and did make a good play against the run, although the Jets took a penalty instead.
On the other side, Antonio Cromartie gave up a short first down catch on a back shoulder throw to the outside, but that was his only blip all day. He was in good position on four other throws, including one which he broke up and another which he almost intercepted. He also made a good play on a run to the edge. For all the criticisms about the players the Jets are currently overpaying, he's making his current deal look like a bargain.
At safety, Yeremiah Bell had a sack and did well in coverage, but had a nightmare on the two touchdown runs. Alongside him, LaRon Landry made his presence felt again with some good hitting and again avoided any costly mistakes. He's looking so much better in the second half of the season, but I still think the Jets would be better served by spending the money it would cost to give him a big money deal some other way.
Antonio Allen got some more reps as a package safety. It's interesting to note that Josh Bush has only been on the field for one snap since the bye week, but Allen is getting consistent reps over the last few weeks. He and Eric Smith, who was the third safety, didn't make much of a positive or negative impact.
Special Teams
For once, the special teams unit was a plus. As we veer towards the end of the Mike Westhoff era, it seems his unit turned it on again just in time to be too late to help. Wilkerson blocked a field goal and almost blocked a punt – drawing a holding penalty in the process. Then later, Allen did block a punt – at least I think he got a fingertip to it – and that could have led to the winning score.
In coverage, Lankster was excellent, making two solid downfield tackles and drawing a holding penalty. Robert Malone had a nice punt downed inside the five by Nick Bellore, but also had a couple of poor kicks into the wind. Nick Folk made his only field goal attempt too. Although the Titans punted 10 times, Kerley amassed just seven yards of return yardage. Returning kickoffs, McKnight almost broke two, but was held to 52 yards on two returns.
Looks like we're into "assessing players for next year" mode for these last two games, starting with McElroy's first career start on Sunday. It'll be interesting – and less stressful than the usual late season games with postseason positioning on the line.
Although, strictly speaking, they haven't been mathematically eliminated yet, have they…?

"If by 'lasting universe' you mean to ask if there's a sequel, the answer is no," Sakurai flatly told IGN. "We pushed a lot into the game in order to let people have this short yet deep experience, but the novelty of that would likely grow thin in the next game."
Sakurai brought back Nintendo's on ice Kid Icarus series with Uprising.
"For now," Sakurai continued, "my thought is that perhaps we'll see someone else besides me make another Kid Icarus in another 25 years." I'm sure that can be arranged.

(NBC News) - Victims of improper Internal Revenue Service targeting had their first chance to tell their stories Tuesday in Washington.
Becky Gerritson
described her experience applying for tax-exempt status
for her "Wetumpka Tea Party" group to the House Ways & Means Committee.
The IRS held up her tax exempt status for 15 months.
"I'm a born free American woman, wife, mother and citizen and I'm telling my government: you've forgotten your place," Gerritson said.
Karen Kenny of the San Fernando Valley Patriots says she waited two years, and gave up.
"We survive on my credit card and donations in our cake tin," Kenny said. "Like patriots before us, we persevere."
The testimony came on the same day as new reports of extravagant spending at the agency.

Bert and I, the iconic Maine humor phenomenon that caught the ear of the nation in the 1960's and 70's, was the brainchild of two storytellers: Marshall Dodge, who died in 1982, and Bob Bryan, who is now 82 years old. It might seem unlikely that the brand could re-emerge, but it has - in the form of a new CD titled " Bert and I Rebooted." Bob Bryan gives voice to a number of characters and sound effects, along with Maine humorist Tim Sample, who co-wrote most of the material in this collection of 22 stories. Keith Shortall spoke with Sample about the project, which carries on a tradition of rural humor that he believes taps the universal core of human nature.
"Bert and I," though based on characters and places that are very much Maine, was not born on the docks of Boothbay or the hunting camps of the Northwoods. It started at Yale, where two students - Marshall Dodge and Bob Bryan - started sharing stories, amusing their classmates. Then in 1958, it "went vinyl" in the form of a 10-inch record.
"But it was a lark," said Bryan, in an interview with MPBN in 2008. "My goodness, we weren't thinking of selling anything. We just thought it would be fun to record some stories and give them to friends for Christmas."
But that led to a full 33 1/3 LP. And much to shock of the two creators, "Bert and I" went national.
Audio from Bert and I: "What a terrible mess that seagull has made on your lapel, captain! I'll be right back with some toilet paper." "Don't matter madam - by the time you find that toilet paper, that seagull will be a mile from here."
Now more than 50 years later, Bert and I have returned.
Audio from Bert and I Rebooted: "Bert and I was down at the dock getting ready to go haddock fishin' aboard the Bluebird Two one morning when we spied an exceptionally large lady hollerin' at us from the dock. Bert said, 'There's another one.' I just shook my head."
"It was important to me, because without getting maudlin about it, Bob's time to do new records is limited and and I'm 62 going on 80 myself," laughs Tim Sample.
Sample says Bryan agreed to the idea of crafting new material for a record. "So we wanted to do this to really plumb the depths of what we know about storytelling, what we love about storytelling, and it emerged that way - the project emerged that way," Sample says. "There was a lot of fine tuning right up to the last few recording sessions."
Audio from Bert and I Rebooted: "'Do you do any drinking?' Junior said. 'Yes I do, everyday a bit,' Doctor replied. 'Well, Junior, if you want to improve your hearing, I'm afraid you'll have to give up your drinking.' 'Well Doc, I appreciate the advice, but I might have a problem with that. You see, lately, I like what I been drinking a whole lot more than I like what I been hearing.'"
"What is helpful to understand about the oral tradition is that the storytelling of the sort that Bert and I has kind of put on the map has a lineage not unlike bluegrass music or folk music," Sample says. "In other words, it's original material, but it's like, how many ways can you use three chords in bluegrass? And yet, somehow, Doc Watson seemed to do pretty well with it. It's a lot of variation on a theme, and twists and turns on core ideas."
Keith Shortall: "To go back to your analogy of the three chords, one of those chords is the story about 'asking directions.' which seems to be a bottomless pit of funny punchlines."
Tim Sample: "And the reason is that there is durability in this stuff, just like there is durability in melody and themes in music."
Keith Shortall: "There's one story - speaking of directions - of a man up in The County, and the wife is getting impatient because he refuses to ask directions and they're clearly lost, so they stop at a store. And the guy finally works up the courage to ask directions."
Tim Sample: "Yah, and of course the backstory is, men don't like to do it because its an ego thing."
Audio from Bert and I rebooted: "'Where will I end up if I take a left?' 'Passadumkeag.' 'What if I take a right?' 'Madawaska.' 'What if I keep driving straight ahead?' 'Wytopitlock.' 'What if I turn around and head back the way I came?' 'Molunkus.' Cecil thanked him for the information and headed back to the car. Once he was back inside, Margaret piped right up. 'Well,' she said, 'did you ask directions? Did you find out where we are?' 'Oh, I asked directions all right,' said Cecil. 'Not that it'll help us any - the guy don't speak a word of English!'"
"Kendall Morse always used to say, 'The thing about Maine humor is it takes more than a teaspoon full of brains to understand,'" Sample says. "But it does have a quality about it that, if you find yourself settin' through the whole thing not laughing, that's understandable, it happens all the time. But you've got to realize that it ain't that it ain't funny - you just don't get it. You might not laugh here, but be careful driving home. And there's that quality about it."
Audio from Bert and I rebooted: "'Do you know what day it is Carl?' 'Thursday.' 'No, that's not what I mean - oh dear. Today is our anniversary. Someday something is going to happen to one of us and then you'll be sorry.' 'When it does, I'm movin' to Kittery.'"
"Bert and I Rebooted" is a new CD of 22 stories, with Bob Bryan and Tim Sample.

Files and uploading overview
On this page:
File formats
Google accepts the following file formats:
- PDF (learn more about PDF file configuration)
- EPUB (learn more about EPUB files)
- JPEG, TIFF, PDF, and PNG (for covers only)
If you're planning to sell your book on Google Play, provide your book content in both EPUB and PDF format to give your readers more viewing options. However, only one format is required.
Content guidelines
Before you upload any files, please ensure your content meets Google's guidelines. If you plan to sell your books on Google Play, you should also review our publisher content policies for books on Google Play.
Size limits
- Each file (including cover image files) should be less than 2 GB in size.
- The book should be at least four pages long.
Format-specific guidelines
Check the table below for example filenames, depending on how you plan to submit your files.
|A single PDF file that includes the cover
|A PDF file that does not contain covers; cover images provided in separate files *
* An incomplete set of files will not process. Read more.
|A book split into multiple PDF files *
* An incomplete set of files will not process. Read more.
|An EPUB file
Which identifier to use:
If you upload files for a single book from the book's "Content" tab: You don't need to include the identifier in the filename. Otherwise, the identifier is necessary to associate the file with the correct book. The filename extension will be used to determine what kind of file you've uploaded.
If your books already have unique identifiers (such as an ISBN or a Google-assigned GGKEY): Replace
ISBNin the example filenames above with the book's actual identifier. (For GGKEY identifiers, you don't have to include the
GGKEY:prefix.) If you have both a print and an electronic ISBN, we generally recommend naming your PDF files using the print ISBN, and naming the EPUB files using the electronic ISBN. See more information about ISBNs.
- If your books don't have unique identifiers: You can use your own filenames, replacing
ISBNin the example filenames above with text of your choice. 10-digit or 13-digit numbers should be avoided, as they may be mistaken by our system to be ISBNs. We also recommend that you avoid using the underscore character (
_) except as noted in the examples (e.g.,
Cover files
Cover files should be in JPEG, PDF, TIFF, or PNG format and have the appropriate filename extension.
How to upload files
There are two ways to upload files in the Partner Center:
Upload files for a single book (from the Content tab of the book's settings).
Upload files for as multiple books at the same time (from the Book Catalog, using the Advanced > Add multiple content files function).
Multiple files for a single book
For the following cases, you should submit all the required files in order to process your book:
- a book split into multiple PDF files (e.g.,
- a PDF file without a cover accompanied by a separate cover image file (e.g.,
If you are submitting a separate back cover image file (
ISBN_backcover.jpg), we recommend that you upload it before you upload the content file (
If all the required files aren't submitted at the same time, they will be listed as "Pending" on the Content tab for the book and the content or cover will not process until all the expected files have been submitted. For example,
ISBN_frontcover.pdf will remain in "Pending" status until
ISBN_interior.pdf is uploaded.
Updates for these books are also processed differently.
How to update files
You can update a file by uploading the new version. It will overwrite the old version.
If you submit an updated file from the Book Catalog (using the Advanced > Add multiple content files function rather than from the specific book's Content tab), the updated file should either use the same filename as the original file, or use the identifier as a prefix (such as in the examples above). Using a different filename or a filename that doesn't contain the identifier will generate a new book listing in your Book Catalog. An exception exists for separate cover images in PDF files (see below).
- Multi-part PDFs (e.g.,
ISBN_2of2.pdf): You must re-submit all the files, even if not all of them are being updated.
- A PDF file without the cover (e.g.,
ISBN_frontcover.jpg): You must re-submit the content (
ISBN_interior.pdf) in order to trigger the processing of the most recent set of files. Alternatively, if you're updating the cover image with a PDF file and not changing any other files, name the file as
File history
You can view a history of past submitted files by visiting your Book Catalog, clicking the book title, then going to the Content tab.
Only the most recent successfully processed file of each type (i.e., the most recent EPUB file, the most recent PDF file, and the most recent cover file) will be used. At this time, there's no way to remove older records from a book's content files history.
Filenames listed in the history may differ from the filenames you used when submitting files, as any files submitted through the Content tab will be renamed to include the identifier in the filename. This won't interfere with the processing of your files.

Criminal Justice
Over the past few decades, careers in all areas of criminal justice (law enforcement, courts, corrections, security) have undergone increasing professionalization. With that change has come a trend for increasing educational requirements, both for entry-level positions and promotional opportunities. It was out of this increasing need for higher education that the College of DuPage Criminal Justice program was created more than 25 years ago.
Since then, students who take criminal justice classes do so for a variety of reasons. Many (if not most) are taking the courses as part of a degree or certificate program, with intentions of pursuing or advancing in a career in criminal justice. Others take selected classes as part of a program in a related field. Some take individual courses to learn more about the criminal justice system and constitutional rights.
Those pursuing a program in Criminal Justice have four basic choices: the Associate in Applied Science (occupational) degree, the Associate in Arts (transfer) degree, the Certificate in Criminal Justice, and the Homeland Security Certificate.

How do I verify an item in an array?
For example if I have an array with the following things: apple, orange, pear.
and an apple is requested. How do I check that the item apple is in the array, so that I can return TRUE and if it is not in the array I can return false?

I hate how this turned from ranking and rating 1994 Olympics programs to debating AGAIN about Lysacek vs. Plushenko and the quad vs. transitions. I came back to see what other people thought of the 1994 performances.. but no luck here I guess *sigh*

Yes, it would be nice to get back on topic.
Okay, I'll try to swing things back to 1994. Ride with me on this one, folks.
Can anyone remember, was that the only year that eligible skaters were welcomed back into the Olympics? It's interesting to compare the results of the returning male pros with those of other disciplines. Of course the pairs did best, with G and G finishing in gold. Ice dance had one medal, with Torvill and Dean nabbing bronze. (And they wuzrobbed!) The returning men--Boitano and Petrenko--didn't win anything. Women had what the French call a succes d'estime, a metaphorical victory, as Witt, with no chance to medal, closed out the competition with "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," which she performed in tribute to the beleaguered city of Sarajevo.
1994 was the first year where pro - skaters who only participated in ISU apporved events could compete at the Olympics. Ever since 1994 it has been allowed.

Thanks for the update, Tonichelle. That sounds right. After all, I can't recollect any pro skaters returning for later Games. I also suspect that Kwan might have joined some pro productions (individual televised affairs, not necessarily a long tour such as SOI) somewhere in there if she'd been allowed to keep competing at the same time.
Also about the pros in competition-that makes sense. Shows why I couldn't think of any returning pros after 1994 just repeat amateurs.

Like I said the skaters who have quads who are good enough to win competitions keep screwing up in big events. Takahashi's history speaks for himself, but his performance from Worlds would have probably been good enough to win the Olympics even though it wasnt perfect. Joubert's recent history speaks for itself as well, and he has poorly thought out jump layouts, some lower level elements, and has let his presentation slide since leaving Browning. Abbott and Verner are king headcases. And Plushenko really is way way past his prime and a weak skater outside of the jumps these days and he still would have won the Olympics with his quad if he had just done one of his many shaky jumps that night a bit better or changed one thing about his COP-unfriendly jump layout.
One cant blame the judges.
So far, only 2 people have properly responded to my thread...which was to rate and rank the 5 performances I linked from the 1994 Olympics. There are several posters who have stated their favorite performance of the night, but I can't count those since they didn't rank all 5. As such, here are the results so far from the three of us who have voted:
1. Stojko (1st, 1st, 5th)
2. Browning (2nd, 2nd, 4th)
3. Urmanov (1st, 4th, 4th)
4. Candeloro (2nd, 3rd, 5th)
5. Petrenko (3rd, 3rd, 5th)
EDIT - BTW, thank you very much for your thoughts on the first couple pages, Spun Silver, Olympia, and pangtongfan, although you didn't actually write a ranking of the 5 Men, so I don't want to assume your exact placements.

Hey, I did so rank. I wrote:

Very well, Blades, if you insist. I apologize for not committing to a real ranking earlier. I always second-guess myself on these things.
Your analysis and descriptions are so wonderful and clear, and I referred to them as I went back and reviewed the tapes. I'll agree with your rankings, except I'll put Browning above Stojko. It's only partially out of bias. (But what's wrong with bias?) Browning did the most to wed movement to music--there's one bit in there, for example, where he stroked exactly to the music, and it seemed completely natural and part of the flow. The split jump from nothing, the spreadeagles, and other moves gave such visual variety to the pictures he created. Besides, his skating skills are to die for. I know he completely flubbed that non-triple Axel, and I suppose I should take off for the absence of a lutz, but the jumps he did execute turn like superfast corkscrews in the air, and--well, I'm not a judge, and the medals have already been handed out, and he's just such a riveting skater to watch. As for the others, Stojko did a fine job and actually did one or two of the nicer spins. Candeloro has a unique, loose-limbed athleticism; he practically seems to be striding across the ice. He builds a character, takes control and pulls us in, and also does those huge jumps. I didn't move Urmanov up because that spin was a debacle, though I'm fine with the fact that the real judges gave him the gold that night. Petrenko didn't do anything to make me want to lift him above any of the others, though you can see his meticulous positions and smooth skating.

The VB-M600D is packed with features which enhance its functionality and usability. Among the most useful are its sophisticated On-board Video Analytics, enabling the camera to detect Moving, Abandoned, or Removed Objects in its range of vision, and also detect attempts at Camera Tampering and changes in Sound Levels. For added control, the VB-M600D also offers a Privacy Mask function which allows the blocking of certain areas of the camera's field of view, to protect from inadvertent intrusions of privacy or password theft (even during P/T/Z operations the specified areas will be masked).
Thanks to the VB-M600D's impressive algorithm highly precise detection is achieved by using polygonal and rectangle shapes to specify up to 15 areas of detection (as opposed to only using rectangle shapes like some competitor models). Additional flexibility is provided in that notification of a detection can be made through the network from the camera using a number of functions including automatic recording, e-mail transmission, uploading video to a specified target server and events in ONVIF by the RM server. It is also possible to combine a number of detection functions for simultaneous notification.

The promise of a new start awaits the valley in 2013 after a year of ups and downs.
"The storm in June, that was a bit of a challenge for everybody obviously...but we got through that pretty well," says Parkersburg Mayor Bob Newell. "We were very lucky nobody was killed."
"The storm that hit is nothing like anything we've ever seen. The people I dealt with from First Energy they've never seen anything like that," says Vienna Mayor David Nohe.
"The storm in June I think we proved as a city, the city employees the services offered here that we can withstand that," says Belpre Mayor Mike Lorentz.
It's been a challenging year for the Mid-Ohio Valley but there's a lot to look forward to in 2013.
"The senior center just getting its elevator and that whole second floor being renovated," Nohe says. "So now the seniors will have two complete floors they can use and for a city this size and a very, very small budget... that's a wonderful thing for the people."
2012 proved to be one of the biggest years for growth and expansion in Parkersburg and a venture long in the works.
"The announcement by Public Debt that they would be expanding new jobs into Parkersburg and also our interest in baseball," Newell says. "We spent most of the year working on that as well, hoping that might come to fruition after the first of the year."
Lorentz says there's also interest in new business and job creation in Belpre.
"Projects like the hospital, the medical building's coming in has been a true blessing," he says. "We're now looking forward to Go Mart being down next to the bridge. We have people want to go build a nursing home off (Route) 7."

After our last letter to the editor in the Sun Advocate we did receive some responses to our plea for information about cancer in the community, but we feel we need more.
We are doing cancer research in the Price area from 100 East to 1100 East, Main Street to 900 North., but if you live outside this area you can also let us know.
Besides cancer in residents we are also looking at birth defects in children.
We need to know if you are a male or female, the area you live in and what kind of cancer you have or have had.
In the past we have been pushed aside and told to leave it alone. We would like to just have some answers as to why there is so much cancer in this area. Please help us in this fight to find out more.
You can respond to use by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com or by going to our Facebook page at Carbon County Cancer Research.

In the Dark during Earth Hour
Well, Earth Hour is over, and what a success it was! I spent my Earth Hour at Molson, watching the brewery and offices go dark. Above is a picture of the brewery, just after 8:00 p.m. It was still a little bit light outside, so I took another couple shots closer to 9:00 p.m. (below), when it was really dark!
The offices were just as dark as the brewery, so I decided to wander around with my little video camera and take some clips.
[youtube NXwtmL2aLhM]
Thanks to everyone for making Earth Hour such a success at Molson. It was wonderful having so much enthusiasm for climate change awareness — let's keep it going!
Molson's Earth Hour task force in action. The team went around on Friday afternoon to make sure each office, room, desk, etc. was Earth Hour Certified.

text: Community health workers—or acompanantes—Gladys Mendez and Adelaida Lopez visit patients in Chiapas, Mexico. {lanPhoto: Rebecca E. Rollins / Partners In Healthv> Transportation costs, social stigma, lack of information, discrimination, and time constraints are major barriers to medical care in poor communities. Even when treatment is free, these barriers prevent people from accessing necessary health care. For nearly three decades, PIH has hired and trained community health workers (CHWs) as a solution to these problems. CHWs help patients overcome obstacles to health care by accompanying patients through treatment, monitoring needs for food, housing, and safe water, leading education campaigns, and empowering community members to take charge of their own health. As members of the communities they serve, CHWs establish relationships of trust with their patients, bridging the gap between the clinic and the community. CHWs help health care systems overcome personnel and financial shortages by providing high-quality, cost-effective services to community members in their homes, and by catching serious conditions at an early stage before they become more dangerous and expensive to treat. In addition, CHW programs boost the local economy by creating paying jobs. Treating HIV and tuberculosis Across PIH's sites, all patients beginning treatment for HIV/AIDS or tuberculosis (TB) are paired with a community health worker. Every day, these health workers visit patients in their homes to supervise treatment, ensuring they take their medications regularly and correctly. Over time, they teach their patients how to manage complex treatments, cope with side effects, and identify the signs and symptoms of impending illness. This support enables people with HIV or TB to live longer and healthier lives. In Haiti, CHWs first began providing daily medications for people living with HIV in 1999. At that time, prevailing wisdom in public health claimed it was impossible to provide high-quality treatment and follow-up for people living with HIV in developing countries. But the success of PIH's patients proved otherwise. CHWs allow PIH to begin treating patients in need of antiretroviral therapy less than two weeks after diagnosis, and keep these patients engaged in care despite the difficult settings. A study of PIH's HIV treatment efforts in Rwanda found that PIH's patients were more likely to be retained in care, less likely to die, and less likely to be lost to follow-up when compared with patients in care at other facilities. In fact, more than 92 percent of PIH patients were still enrolled in care two years after they began HIV treatment. Learn more about PIH's work treating people with HIV/AIDS. Training and paying community health workers Despite the success of CHWs, too many developing countries lack the resources for strong public health systems. As a result, many of those who do make use of CHWs classify these positions as "health volunteers," denying essential workers fair payment and adequate training. International donors and many NGOs with much greater resources have followed suit. There is no excuse for withholding payment for the highly skilled services of CHWs, who accompany patients through their greatest struggles and put themselves at daily risk of contracting deadly diseases. Furthermore, payment directly benefits the health and welfare of the community by providing jobs to local people. PIH provides and advocates for professional treatment of CHWs—including fair payment, ongoing training, and provision of necessary supplies—so they may perform their vital work to the highest standards. Empowering communities While making daily rounds to the homes of HIV and TB patients, CHWs strengthen connections between the clinic and the community. By accompanying patients day by day, they develop a deep awareness of the effects of illness and poverty in their communities. This knowledge helps CHWs address broader barriers to health, including oppression, violence, and social and economic injustice. In Chiapas, Mexico, community health promoters (or promotores), conduct workshops and training sessions on themes such as building local health care systems, mental health, sexually transmitted infections, conflict resolution, and environmental health.
