State Of Emergency: Overcrowding In The ER [Infographic]
Whether you're suffering from a broken bone or a life-threatening illness, a trip to the emergency room is always a scary prospect. But what happens when an ER is faced with more patients than it can accommodate? Between 1995 and 2010, annual ER visits in the U.S. grew by 34 percent, while the number of hospitals with ERs declined by 11 percent. From long wait times to sky-high medical costs, overcrowding puts undue pressure on patients, providers and administrators when efficient, high-quality care matters most.
Hospital 'Sees' Old Data To Recoup 'Blind' A/R
After welcoming Jewish Hospital into Mercy Health, revenue cycle administration identified DataArk® as the solution for properly managing pre-acquisition/legacy accounts receivable. Both finance and senior leadership teams would benefit from consistent cash collections and comprehensive reporting as a result.
Wireless Patient Monitoring Devices Solve Telecommunications Challenges
When care providers at Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice, the largest Home Care & Hospice agency in Maine, initially launched their telehealth program, they were quickly able to see positive results from utilizing Honeywell's Genesis family of remote patient monitoring devices to track the daily vital signs of patients and streamline patient-acquired data into one internet-accessible clinical dashboard.
VNA Home Health Hospice Streamlines Patient Care Between Physicians And Home
When home care providers at VNA Home Health Hospice (VNA) looked at ways to improve their already-successful telehealth program, they realized patient care could be improved by giving physicians the ability to monitor their patients' health status, using VNA's existing telehealth system.
Telehealth Products And Services Utilized With High Success In Telemedicine Efficacy Study
In January of 2011, the St. Alexius Medical Center (SAMC) and the Great Plains Telehealth Resource and Assistance Center (gpTRAC) joined forces to evaluate the potential of a new telehealth program. Their goal was to determine whether they could improve access and care for their many patients with chronic conditions who live in rural areas. In order to determine its effectiveness, SAMC and gpTRAC worked together to develop research parameters by which to quantify the results of the program.
Are Your Forms Costing You? HSC, also known as the Hospital for Sick Children, is like most healthcare organizations feeling a strong push to go electronic. The hospital selected an EHR solution from HMS to address these initiatives in the clinical setting, however HSC had already identified another paper-laden challenge to address — preprinted forms.

A Car Named After You
The very silly people at 4Car are running a poll to determine the silliest actual Japanese car name of all time. No editorializing is required; we couldn't make this stuff up. Here are your choices:
- Daihatsu Rugged Field Sports Resin Top
- Honda Life Dunk
- Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard
- Mazda Autozam Carol MeLady
- Mazda Bongo Friendee
- Mitsubishi Mini Active Urban Sandal
- Mitsubishi Mum 500 Shall We Join Us
- Nissan Big Thumb Harmonised Truck
- Subaru Sambar Dias Astonish!!
- Suzuki Alto Afternoon Tea
- Suzuki Every Joy Pop Turbo
- Toyota Estima Lucida G Luxury Joyful Canopy
- Yamaha Pantryboy Supreme
- Isuzu Big Horn
- Mazda Bongo Brawny
- Mazda Proceed Marvie Will Breeze
- Mitsubishi Canter Guts
- Nissan Cedric
- Nissan Leopard J Ferie
- Subaru Domingo Aladdin
Now go vote.
We happen to like the assorted Subaru Sambar Dias variants, and don't think they're at all silly. Not even the Super Charger.
And they even narrowed that list down. Some others that we think could have contended:
- Mitsubishi Delica Space Gear Cruising Active and Avenir Attesa Salut
- Nissan Prairie Joy, Serena Enchante, Serena Waai! and Moko Moko
- Suzuki Every Joy Pop Turbo (which famously has written on the side, "Everyone has different personality and taste. If they get together, it makes a family. 'Every' is always staying near our life.")
- Subaru Gravel Express and Bistro Vivio
- Daihatsu Rocky Canterbury Winter and Canterbury Summer
- Daihatsu Altrai Liberno RV Deck
- Hino Rising Ranger and Super Dolphin Profia
- Fuso Fighter
- Mitsubishi The Great
- Hyundai Gila, notable for the phoenic spelling, "HeXl"
And it's not Japanese, but Renault today announced the new Laguna Privilège Navigation–to go along with the Dynamique (with Philarmonic wheels), Expression, Carminat, Authentique and Grandtour Laguna Navigations.
(Update: I forgot the Great Wall Wingle, which debuted at the Auto Guangzhou exhibition in July. "Its name comes from the combination of Wind and Eagle." Great Wall also makes the "Deer – Monster" and "Sailor – So Cool")
Best of the rest
4Car, part of England's Channel 4 network, has just released the results of their reader/listener/viewer poll of the 100 greatest cars of all time. It's a fascinating snapshot into the British psyche, if nothing else, with some incredibly bizarre choices in weird places in the rankings. The top ten or 20 are pretty conventional…sort of…but things get pretty weird down in Rover P5B Coupe territory.
They also list a number of other favorites from the last 100 years of motoring.

By GloryBee1 Review
Expiration Date:?Jan 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?3.13 lbs (1.42 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Why CTF4 is bad
a free premium time for all players would definitely work as compensation hopefully after the next update
i'm one of these who thinks compensation is no needed, but if you have to, the free week for standards is ok.
imo, best thing: a discount event long like the downtime if subscribing. (i really hope there will be another discount before september)
or even for prem/pro a promotional code to insert during purchase for a discount..

compensation for two days of down time ? You guys seriously need to get a grip on reality.
instead of adding maps or free temporary service upgrades to soothe those with a sense of entitlement, how about we just work on fixing freeze tag.

MASSENA - The United States Department of Transportation announced Tuesday that it will award grants to two airports in New Yorks 21st District. The DOT will award the town of Massena $4,173,110 to purchase fencing and safety equipment, rehabilitate the runway 9-27 and 5-23 and improve the runway safety area at the Massena International Airport.
Additionally, the DOT will grant the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority $3,103,654 for upgrades to the Ogdensburg International Airport. These funds will also be used for runway rehabilitation project on runway 9-27.
The Malone-Dufort Airport will also receive $508,520 for runway upgrades to runway 14-32.
The funding is allocated through the U.S. Department of Transportations Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) Airport Improvement Program.
Rep. William Owens, U.S. Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, and Massena Town Supervisor Joseph Gray applauded the news.
These grants are good news for St. Lawrence County, Mr. Owens said. In the long term, upgraded facilities and infrastructure improvements will help connect area travelers to larger airports and help grow the regions economy by making doing business in the North Country easier.
This massive federal investment will be a major boost for safety and quality of infrastructure at the Massena, Malone, Ogdensburg and Watertown airports, Mr. Schumer said. I am pleased that the FAA has made this important investment for runway upgrades and safety equipment at these north country airports.
This is an important investment for these north country airports, Ms. Gillibrand said. Improving these airports infrastructure can help provide better, safer service for travelers and businesses, keep more flights on time, and help strengthen the north countrys economy.
Id like to express appreciation on behalf of the town of Massena, its residents and town council. Our airport keeps us connected to the outside world and the improvements funded by this grant will ensure its viability for many years into the future. This funding is a great assistance and provides some relief for local taxpayers, Mr. Gray said.
Tuesdays announcements come days after the DOT announced two other airports in the region will receive similar grants. On Friday, the DOT announced the Watertown International Airport will receive $1,806,862.00, and the Plattsburgh International Airport will receive $2,565,000.00.
The DOT is expected to release more information on all four projects in the next week.

The East Carbon City Council discussed the possibility of creating a charter school for East Carbon youth to attend. The council discussed the matter at a special meeting on Tuesday, May 31.
The meeting, which was initially scheduled for Tuesday, May 24, was set back a week due to the absence of the majority of council members.
Councilmember Joyce Caviness has been in charge of researching the possibility of the charter school.
The school would be an alternative for East Carbon youth that would otherwise have to attend Carbon High School. Rather than traveling to Price on a daily basis for schooling, a charter school could give students the choice of staying local to attend school.
It has yet to be decided whether the school would be kindergarten through 12th grade or only seventh through 12th grade. That issue will be discussed at a later time.
If the charter school is decided upon, it will take from anywhere between 18 and 24 months to get the school up and running.
Councilmember Caviness brought up the need for educators or teachers to form a board to work on the charter school project. The educators would help by knowing certain school board regulations.
Caviness requested city support for the project. She asked if East Carbon's name could be used on the charter school applications. Some parties involved with the charter believe that it would be easier to gain endorsement if the city's name was on the applications.
The donation of land was also requested by Caviness. Another alternative was presented by other council members who pointed out that if Petersen Elementary, located in Sunnyside, moves into the East Carbon High School building, that Sunnyside might be able to donate the old Petersen building for use by the future charter school.
It was also stated by Caviness that there would be no need for funding from the city. She stated that East Carbon qualified for several grants, including federal grants starting at $350,000.
Caviness also brought up the possibility of naming the school Book Cliff Academy. This name had good response from members of the council along with members of the audience.
Councilmember David Maggio showed his support by saying, "I'm all for it," if there was no travel necessary for students to attend school.
Other members of the council had similar reactions to the idea of creating a charter school for East Carbon and Sunnyside residents.
A motion to allow the use of the city's name on the charter passed unanimously.
Caviness and parties involved with the proposed charter will meet in the Bicentennial Building on Thursday, June 9, at 6 p.m. to further discuss the charter school.
In an unrelated matter, Caviness also discussed the addition and change of speed limit signs for an area in Columbia. The city plans to purchase several signs which read "reduced speed ahead" and "speed limit 20" for the area to cut down the amount of speeding in the area.
This was supported by all members of the council.
In another matter, the council decided to hire two part time workers between the ages of 16 and 18. The workers would aid East Carbon's Maintenance Department for six weeks to help with Community Daze. The council hopes this will help to ensure the cleanliness of the city after the event has passed.
Councilman Maggio made a motion to hire the two part-time employees for six weeks. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Caviness. It passed unanimously.

BUFFALO/CHICAGO -- U.S. Marshals tracked down a Western New York teacher on the run this weekend, more than a month after she cut off her ankle bracelet.
Cara Dickey was on parole after the 2009 case where she admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with a student at the charter school where she was teaching.
This past January, Dickey cut off her ankle monitoring bracelet, causing law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for her. Officials say she failed to register as a sex offender, and there was concern after she spent the holidays around her partner's young family member.
Dickey and her girlfriend, Candice Brighon (who is also on Corrections Supervision) failed to report to their officers on January 9th.
The month-long investigation had officials following up on leads in Atlanta, Cleveland and Chicago.
U.S. Marshals say after getting a number of tips about the pair's whereabouts, they were able to track them to a motel outside of Chicago Saturday afternoon.
Investigators say no children were found with the two women. At one point parole officers were concered that Dickey had begun another inappropriate relationship with an underage child.
Part of the reason Dickey and Brighon were found was because Dickey had been arrested for prostitution on February 13th by officials in Illinois. Police say she gave them a fake name and I.D. at the time she was arrested. She was given an appearance ticket and released, but eventually officials were able to determine who she really was.
She is being held in Illinois. U.S. Marshals say they hope the pair will be returned to New York State by next week.

So this will be my last of the 2010 posts, these are the songs I will call songs of the year for 2010. Just songs I dug, you have likely heard them all already cause I have put them on other mixes etc..but here they are all together. It was initially supposed to be a top 10 but hell I added one bonus song.
Bonus Track: 11. The Black Keys – Sinister Kid
This is what happens when the Black Keys FINALLY add some bass to the mix
10. Jamey Johnson – That's How I Don't Love You
I didn't really talk about Jamey much on here because well…he get's a lot of press everywhere else, but this song is haunting and fucking great
9. Will Kimbrough – Wings
Definitely one of the songs of the year, and probably the only uplifting song on this mix
8. Ray Lamontagne & The Pariah Dogs – Beg, Steal or Borrow
A perfect updated throwback to 70's country rock ala Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue
7. Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan – You Won't Let Me Down Again
How good is this song? Fucking good…love the little screaming thing in the background
6. Ray Wylie Hubbard – Loose
With a line like "Even her momma said she was always trouble/promise him everything, give him half and charge him double" how could this not make the list?
5. The Fox Hunt – It Suits Me
John Miller continues to impress with his songwriting and singing. The band is on fire with this one
4. Glossary – Through The Screen Door
On an album full of killer songs hard to pick just one but this one particularly resonates with me
3. Justin Townes Earle – Slippin' and Slidin'
I remember when I saw Justin on Mt. Stage prior to this albums release and he played this song. It has stuck with me since, add Isbell to the studio version and holy shit!
2. The Sadies – Tell Her What I Said (from iTunes Session)
This song off Darker Circles was one of my favorites, but when I heard this iTunes session version with one of the best guitar solos played I couldn't stop playing it.
1. Kasey Anderson – I Was A Photograph (Blake's Song)
This has been the song of the year since the first time I heard it, one of the most powerful songs you are likely to hear

I was a junior Java developer in jan, 2000.
Now it is a myth for me:
- private members can be accessed only in the declaring class
- threads can't be stopped
English it is my third language, please correct it, if you would like it.
Here I am hoping for a little help from those users, who are facing the same problems as me: dodging frameworks bugs, or fixing if is possible. Or finding ideas how to solve the imposible faster.
I am willing give back what I got: to help beginners, and other developers.
For me it is a big difference in helping somebody or doing his job , is like giving a fish or teaching how to catch fish.
As I have seen the fish is more appreciated, especially if is free.

PROVIDENCE — Ed Cooley estimates that his coaching responsibilities account for "20 percent" of his duties at Providence College.
Ask him just how much that small slice in an otherwise demanding pie means to him and Cooley will tell you pointblank that coaching supplies a jolt that by and large remains unmatched. The time he spends on the basketball floor alongside his assistants and players or in the video room breaking down tape is pure nirvana – not to mention a prime chance to reinforce what his primary job entails.
"The other day I went over to one of my coaches and talked to him about how much I enjoy coaching," Cooley said. "It's like being in your own laboratory. You're dissecting opponents and implementing things that accentuate your strengths as a team. I love practice and I love game coaching."
In a time when college coaches give off the vibe that they're constantly on the move – whether it's attempting to forge relationships with recruits or rubbing elbows with donors or season-ticket holders at school-related functions – the art of gamesmanship often gets overlooked. To Cooley, how you go about preparing for an opponent means everything.
In the days leading up to Friday's game against Fairfield, the head coach mapped out a succinct schedule that demonstrates the emphasis Cooley places in priming his Friars.
"For us preparation is key. (On Wednesday), we came in and watched film from 9:30 [in the morning) to quarter to 10. We walked through some of (Fairfield's) sets before going back to watch more film," was the checklist Cooley rattled off. "(On Thursday) we watched more film and practiced against their stuff. After eating turkey at my house, we'll sit down and watch more film. We will continue the process again on Friday morning."
While unearthing everything you possibly can about your opponent carries substantial weight, Cooley stressed the importance of making sure his own personnel takes a look in the mirror.
"Know who you are versus whom you're playing against. Know your own strengths, but try to take away the strengths of your opponent," he emphasized. "It's about who's going to be disciplined enough to follow instructions."
For the first two years of his PC career, Ted Bancroft's role on the scout team was clear and concise – mimic the opposition's top player. Now as a junior year, the highly vital walk-on finds himself donning a black practice jersey – crystallizing his status as a first-team contributor – as opposed to a grey jersey with a foreign number taped to his back.
In the eyes of the East Providence native, the switch in job descriptions, mandated due the limited numbers Cooley currently has at his disposal, has gone relatively smooth.
"I used to love playing on the scout team because that's actually how I got most of my confidence," Bancroft explained. "Now it's totally different. Instead of learning all of other team's plays, I'm focused on our plays. I wouldn't say there's more pressure, but there is."
Said Cooley, "He's someone we've thrown into the fire and he knows what he's doing on the floor. He understands basketball and he's very unselfish. There are players who get it and players who aspire to get it. He was born with it."
Bestowed with the nickname "White Lightning" by his coach, Bancroft has reached the stage where he's no longer seen as an additional link, but as an important piece that's seen roughly 19 minutes of floor time during Providence's first five games.
"Even before (playing all 45 minutes in an overtime loss to Penn State down in Puerto Rico), the guys trusted me," Bancroft said. "Every day as a kid, I used to go outside and pretend that I was a Friar. Now I'm realizing my childhood dream."
After Friday, Providence will have three games remaining before the exam break. Cooley is still hopeful that the NCAA will clear 6-foot-8 forward Sidiki Johnson prior to the Friars' last game of the first semester – Dec. 6 at The Dunk against URI). If a resolution doesn't come between now and then, Johnson's first action would likely come Dec. 18 against Colgate.
A transfer from Arizona, Johnson has been spending time with the first string during practice in an effort to make sure he's on the same page with the rest of the Friars upon becoming eligible.
"We're waiting to see what happens, but we're looking forward to having Sidiki soon," said Cooley.

I feel happy, elated…and sick. I've been a freelance writer for 14 years but that pit at the bottom of your stomach never goes away.
Today I sent out that manuscript languishing on my hard drive. The book was commissioned by a publisher and I wrote it, in its entirety, submitted the first draft, got paid for that part of the submission, and the company went belly up. And so this book, that took me hours and hours and months to research to write and rewrite, is being sent out again in the hope that it will actually find a home.
But then there's the dreaded rejection. Even if you're a seasoned journalist with accolades, rejection happens. After a while you get used to it…oh heck, you never get used to it. But you have to believe in the story because if it gets rejected, that rejection needs to be the fuel that propels you to send it out to someone else until you get that coveted acceptance letter.
So I have taken that leap of faith. I picked up the phone and called a publisher and now I've sent a sample of the book for them to read and I must wait and pretend that I'm not really waiting for anything, that everything is fine.
But, truth be told, if the rejection comes I will feel that devastation. That's what makes writers comrades in arms. We've all been there, and continue to be there. As I said, it doesn't matter if you're a seasoned journalist. Rejection happens. The trick is to turn that rejection into fuel that pushes you to send it out again, and again and again until it's accepted.
I just hope this is accepted the first time, or is it the second time, whatever, this time.

Awesome doctor. Very knowledgeable. Communicates well. Actually very funny guy. Was a provider for my insurance and although he was slightly more expensive, he was well worth it.

Dr. Lin is a very personable and attentive surgeon. He carefully explained all my surgical options and various conservative treatment options. He spent alot of time with me during each visit and answered all my questions. I never felt rushed. I also felt comfortable knowing he was on staff at Hoag Hospital. We went thru all conservative options before performing my surgery. My feet look and feel great now. I can wear any dress shoes I want and love dancing again. I would highly recommend Dr. Lin for any foot or ankle problems.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) - As hundreds of military kids filled the ballroom at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on Saturday, most of them seemed to have one thing in common.
"I'm pretty excited to see Katy Perry," said Maddie Bergman, 18, as she waited for the concert to begin. "I really like her music."
Kids walked around singing and dancing her songs while they waited for the Kids' Inaugural: Our Children. Our Future" concert to begin. The event was hosted by Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden as part of their initiative to Joining Forces, which supports military families and celebrates their service.
"The event really emphasizes the families and I think that's really important," Landsay Glang, 18, said whose mother works for the National Military Family Association.
America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon emceed the event with the assistance of Dancing with the Stars winner and war hero J.R. Martinez.
Pop star Usher was the first to take the stage with his club-going, body-grooving hit song "Yeah," followed by performances by Mindless Behavior, Cast members of Fox series "Glee," Far East Movement, Soul Children of Chicago joined Black Violin, Glow stick dance group iLuminate from America's Got Talent, UK heartthrobs and Katy Perry.
Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, who were both accompanied to the event by their kids, spoke on stage before the performances began.
"My favorite part of this entire weekend is being right here with all of you, the First Lady said.
Dr. Biden addressed children at the event who she visited a few weeks prior while their parents were being deployed to Afghanistan.
"I want to give a special welcome to some very brave kids from the Delaware Army National Guard 153rd military police company," Dr. Biden said. "We will be here for you while your moms and dads are away.
Before Katy Perry's anticipated performance, the First Lady gave her final remarks.
"We cannot be satisfied until we serve all of you as you have served our country," she said.
As Michelle Obama walked off stage and the music began, children got up from their seats and began clapping and screaming. Pop sensation Perry walked out in a sexy American flag bathing suit and paraded around the stage singing hits Teenage Dream, Firework, Part of Me, and Wide Awake.
Twelve-year-old Dylan Garvin walked out of the concert after it all wrapped up with a smile on his face.
"I thought it was incredible," he said. "I got to see everybody I love, especially Katy Perry."
Fifteen-year-old Sophia Ramos, whose father is on sea duty for the next two years with the NOAA, enjoyed the performances along with her 12-year-old sister and mother.
"It was awesome, Katy Perry was like 20 feet way from us," she said.
Her mother, Melissa Ramos, said it has been difficult for their family but "events like these reminds our children that our country supports them."
The energy continued all the way to the Mt. Vernon Metro Station where a 7-year-old was heard singing "I wish I knew then, what I know now" while waiting with her mother in line.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - It may be the luck of the Irish, or even the result of a little blarney. But the Legislature and the Governor have agreed to let Maine bars open early this St. Patrick's Day.
The holiday is on Sunday, and normally that would mean bars and restaurants couldn't serve alcohol until nine in the morning. That's why some of the bar owners and their customers asked the politicians for help. But starting in late February, the bill got caught up in arguments between Democrats, Republicans and the Governor over paying the state's hospital debt.
Republicans and the Governor went after the St. Patrick's bill to pressure Democrats, accusing them of having more interest in pushing a bar bill through quickly than in passing the Governor's hospital bill. The Governor threatened to veto every bill until lawmakers dealt with the hospitals.That threat had included the St. Patrick's Day bill, but on Wednesday, the Governor met with bill sponsor Rep. Barry Hobbins. Hobbins says the Governor agreed to support and sign the bill and encourage Republicans to pass it.
Today, both the House and Senate gave final passage to the bill by the two-thirds margin needed for the law to take effect as soon as the Governor signs it. Thursday afternoon, the Governor's office confirms he will sign the bill as a "goodwill gesture" toward both parties in the Legislature, and to help the businesses.

Encouraging independence
Find out more about how to support children with vision impairment to perform the routine activities of daily living, such as moving around, washing and dressing
Mobility and habilitation
Mobility with children with vision impairment means helping them to learn to move safely and independently, to learn routes and strategies for getting around familiar and unfamilar places, and to use support like sighted guide, long cane and to prepare for use of a guide dog if that becomes appropriate or desirable in teenage years or adulthood.
Habilitation is teaching and learning daily living skills with increasing independence. For example: dressing, washing, eating and drinking, finding and taking responsibilty for belongings, and generally learning all of the everyday skills and abilities that children acquire as they grow and develop.
Habilitation (as opposed to re-habilitation) refers to the fact that children are learning these things for the first time, and are not getting used to a new set of skills having performed them as a sighted person first. Rehabilitation more commonly refers to the learning of everyday living skills for adults and/or people who have lost sight.
Professional support with mobility and habilitation for children with vision impairment
Your child will benefit from access to a Habilitation Specialist (sometimes called Mobility Officer or Rehabilitation Officer) who can support in these areas.
Different local authorities provide mobility and habiliatation services in different ways. Your child may need more intensive support from a Habilitation Specialist when they are learning particular skills, for example in the early years or starting school, and then need further periods of intensive work if they are changing settings, between primary and secondary school for example. There may be times of less frequent or intensive work with a Habilitation Specialist in between. A programme of mobility and habilitation work should be developed by your local service depending on your child's needs.
Your Qualified Teacher of (children with) Visual Impairment is the best place to start regarding setting up mobility and habilitation support for your child. For details of how to contact your local QTVI visit our section about your child and visual impairment first steps.
Tips to help you support your child with daily living skills
It may be easier and faster to do things for your blind or partially sighted child, and you will have a natural instinct to help them as much as you can. Try to balance being supportive and helpful with enabling them to learn to do things for themselves, as your son or daughter will get a lot of happiness and reward from developing his or her own skills, and this is essential for their well being and self-esteem.
Getting dressed
Start with undressing – it's easier to take things off than to put them on.
- Teach your child to put their clothes away properly – good organisational skills are essential for blind and partially sighted people so that they keep track of where belongings are.
- Choose clothing that is easy to put on and take off.
- Choose zips instead of buttons where possible.
- Choose large buttons rather than small fiddly ones.
- Choose garments that have obvious fronts and backs.
- As image becomes important when your child gets older, shaped buttons (slate colour) can be purchased from RNIB and sewn inside garments to ensure that, for example, blue tops match blue bottoms.
- Be consistent – follow the same pattern and use the same language each time you go through getting dressed or undressed.
- Guide and work from behind. It is easier for children to feel movements from behind, and it feels more natural to be moved from behind than to be pulled forward.
- Shoes – start off with velcro fasteners until your child has learned the necessary manual dexterity for buckles and then shoe laces. Teach your child to tie shoelaces in stages, with your support from behind, co-acting each movement.
- What shall I wear? It is helpful for your child to learn about appropriate clothing – for example when to wear jeans and strong shoes, when not to wear a party outfit etc.
Bath time is a great opportunity for babies and young children to learn about body parts and to understand relative size with brothers and sisters if everyone's in together.
- If your baby is afraid of water (wet, or unfamiliar substances can be upsetting for blind and partially sighted children), you may want to put him in a small baby bath, or use a sponge insert or baby bath seat to make things easier.
- Scented soap and bubble bath make bath time more interesting.
Brushing teeth
Teach your child to put the toothpaste onto their finger and rub it onto their teeth directly and then to start brushing. This way you avoid the problems of co-ordinating the end of the toothpaste tube with the toothbrush.
Toilet training
Children learn to use the toilet at different ages and stages – it is important that you and your child are both comfortable to embark on this project. Accidents will happen and may require patience on your part as a parent or carer.
- Have you got a potty with a solid base, and can you put it in a place where it's easy to locate, for example, within reach of a wall?
- Have you got a toilet seat for when they are older?
- Does your child know that Mum and Dad go to the toilet?
- Are they happy to be in the bathroom?
- Have you got the time to sit and talk to your child while they are on the potty so that they feels more secure?
- Talk to the teachers at playgroup or nursery and agree on a routine which works at home and at nursery.
Food glorious food
Feeding is an important daily living skill to teach your child. Mealtimes should be fun and are a good opportunity to develop social skills, though eating can be a difficult or stressful experience for blind and partially sighted children. The tips below may help to avoid difficulties:
- Prepare the eating area and protect carpets and floor coverings with plastic sheeting or newspaper
- Your child may like to practise eating skills with you in private rather than learn "on the job" at family meal times.
- Use a "Dycem mat" under the dish to prevent it from slipping. These are available from our Helpline on 0303 123 9999.
- Ensure that children understand the words you are using, and be consistent.
- Give children an opportunity to enjoy different smells, tastes and textures.
- Start with finger feeding and then work from behind, at first guiding the child's hand from the dish to the mouth and then gradually reduce your involvement.
- Choose dishes with a rim at first, and cups or mugs which do not easily tip over.
- Give small portions.
- Praise any success, however small.
- With older children, use the points of the clock to explain about the position of foods on the plate. For example, carrots at three o'clock, potatoes at six o'clock.
- Cooking and baking are great ways of learning about food and different textures – if a little messy!
Tips to help you keep your child safe in the home
Children are naturally inquisitive and it is important to put safety precautions in place before they reach the next stage in their development.
- Do not leave a baby on a high surface – today might be the day your child learns to roll for the first time.
- Put up stair gates before your child can crawl and climb.
- Use childproof locks on cupboards and drawers containing medicines or poisonous substances such as bleach, breakables such as glass or china or sharp objects such as knives, graters or blenders.
- Protect your children from hot ovens, hobs, kettles and irons.
If someone in the family is blind or partially sighted there are additional safety measures that you can take:
- Learn about your house from your child's height and size. A parent suggested crawling round it on your hands and knees to get a child's perspective and discover any safety hazards.
- Different floor coverings (carpet, textured rugs, laminate or wood floors) will help a young child understand different rooms and locate herself in the house.
- Encourage tidying of toys into plastic crates to avoid tripping hazards. One blind Mum has a rule that no toys are to be left in the kitchen, where she could trip over while carrying something hot. Putting things away will develop organisational skills that are also helpful for a blind or partially sighted child in locating items they want to play with next time.
- Leave doors fully open or fully closed to prevent head injuries.
- Pin back trailing wires from telephones or computers.
- Pad sharp edges of furniture, shelves or on fireplaces.
- Knowing where they are: some blind parents find it helpful to attach bells or a charm bracelet to children to help with locating them.

Love this die. I used it with green glitter paper, which is too tough for many dies to cut. Not only did it slice right through, but the results were beautiful. Then I cut bows with some red felt paper I had in my stash forever. Gorgeous. Started cutting just the bows, put them on everything.
This wreath is just the right size for a regular A2 card. It is beautiful with the 3D effect of the six sections slightly lifted. Finished with Tim Holtz stain - can't be beat.
This is outstanding, I love the look of the depth of those leaves.
Worked great!

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Florida (WESH) -Seminole County Sheriff's Office investigators say with the help of 15 other law enforcement agencies, they arrested 50 people seeking sex with children.
Undercover officers posed as children, or parents arranging sexual activities with children, in Operation Cardea. They chatted online, emailed or spoke on the phone with dozens of men who they say wanted to have sex with children.
The men then traveled to a Seminole County home and were arrested, according to deputies.
The men range in age from 19 to 60. A Turkish tourist, school employees and college students are among those arrested.
A Volusia County teacher, Duncan St. Gelais, resigned from his teaching job after his arrest.
"He teaches English to ninth and 10th-graders," said Seminole County Sheriff's Chief Dennis Lemma. "He connected up with whom he thought was a mother who said the family was open-minded. He negotiated and was prepared to have sex with who he thought was a 14-year-old female."
"Most of the men who were part of this asked us if we were cops; they suspected this was a sting," said Lemma. "They feared apprehension, yet came anyway."

I am a new brazilian pirate. Great FSM touched me with His blessed nodle and give knowleding. Thats revelation show me a obscourily truth: Jesus was a pirate prophet.
When he said "I am the bread of life" it means a point of faith and true: both pasta and bread are made with wheath. But bread is a ordinary snack. Pasta , the other way about, is a sumptuous dinner. Jesus meant he was a mere messenger sent by Great Jah Pastafari, our lord.

• The Reds obtained outfielder Shin-Soo Choo and infielder Jason Donald from the Indians.
• The Diamondbacks acquired shortstop Didi Gregorius from the Reds and left-hander Tony Sipp and first baseman Lars Anderson from the Indians.
• The Indians acquired center fielder Drew Stubbs from the Reds and three pitchers — right-hander Trevor Bauer and relievers Bryan Shaw and Matt Albers — from the Diamondbacks.
I still don't understand why the Diamondbacks wanted to deal Bauer so bad.
I think the Reds really got the best of this trade. From what I have read Gregorius us solid but not special.

Rangers vs. Panthers
Madison Square Garden, 7:00 p.m. Tuesday
Rangers record: 29-19-3
Panthers record: 21-21-5
The Rangers have one more game to play before a well-deserved (and desperately needed) All-Star break. They will face off against the Florida Panthers tonight at Madison Square Garden after earning "Another Huge Win" (as the Rangers' website aptly put it) last night in Washington D.C.
The Panthers come to town hoping to put their four consecutive losses behind them. Currently out of a playoff spot, this game against the Rangers is a must-win for the Blueshirts' Eastern Conference rivals. The Rangers have historically struggled against the Florida teams, and the last time these two teams met, the Panthers decisively shut out the Rangers by the score of 3-0. David Booth, ex-Ranger Chris Higgins, and Stephen Weiss scored the goals in that January 2nd game, and all three have been key parts of the Panthers' offensive production as of late. Though he hasn't scored a goal in his last nine games, Stephen Weiss leads the team with 33 points, and has been consistently racking up multi-assist games. A healthy David Booth is second, but leads the team in goals with fourteen. Rangers' fans would be shocked to learn that Chris Higgins tallied five goals and six assists in seven games before going down with a hamstring injury on January 7th. (Higgins made the trip up north with his team and he is hopeful for today's game.)
Not unlike the Rangers, the Panthers have some important players on their IR: steady defensemen Bryan McCabe and Dmitry Kulikov are out with a broken jaw and bruised ribs, respectively. Kulikov was the Panthers' 2009 first round draft pick, and he picked up five points in three games prior to his rib injury. Jacob Markstrom, the twenty-year-old rookie who was called up to play backup to Scott Clemmenson, was sent back down to the Panthers' AHL affiliate in light of goaltender Tomas Vokoun recovery from an upper-body injury. Vokoun will be in the starting lineup against the Rangers tonight.
The Blueshirts were a beleaguered bunch coming into last night's game, but the battle-back attitude that they have demonstrated throughout these tough games paid off once again. The Rangers now lead the league in winning games in which they trailed going into the third period. Also impressive was the play of Michael Sauer, who stepped up to the top line to replace the injured Dan Girardi, and the increasing number of rookies who populate the Rangers' current roster.
The Panthers took three consecutive games past regulation time last week before heading out on their northeastern road trip, and they are undoubtedly worn out by the extra playing time-- not to mention the scant amount of rest in between games. The Rangers, too, had a packed schedule this past week, and the team has seen an already depleted roster shrink even further with the recent loss of Dan Girardi. Despite this, the Rangers managed to come from behind and tie up the last night's game in the third period, relying on the shootout prowess of Wojtek Wolski, Mats Zuccarello, and Artem Anisimov to pull through for the well-earned win.

But even Paulson has learned the limits of his influence: You don't mess with the Timbers Army.
On May 29, he watched his dejected team leave the pitch, beaten 3-2 by D.C. United. It was the Timbers' first MLS home loss after winning five straight. Team captain Jack Jewsbury and striker Jorge Perlaza had each scored—it wasn't enough—and they and the rest of the team filed into the locker room without stopping to acknowledge the Army.
The Timbers Army is a living force: Thousands of chanting, singing and (often) drinking fans form a raucous choir whose singular voice floods the stadium. In exchange for this passion, the Army demands recognition and respect.
That includes honoring its traditions—some dating to the original Timbers, circa 1975, who played in the original North American Soccer League. At game's end, players typically stand before the Army's sections, known as the North End, and applaud the fans. And players who score must hoist log slices cut by the team's chainsaw-wielding Timber Joey. This is Army tradition—win or lose.
Catcalls and a few obscenities rained down from the North End as the team slipped out.
Paulson rushed to the locker room.
"Guys, you've got to come out, you gotta get your log slices," Paulson recalls saying as he dragged Jewsbury and Perlaza back on the field. "The fans want to recognize you."
Not just any fans. The Timbers Army fills 3,600 seats every game, and that doesn't include thousands more who identify with the beast of the city's soccer subculture. Lawyers and high-tech execs cheer alongside construction workers and waitresses—many waving banners, others beating drums. Some are tattooed with the anti-establishment emblems of the Army. Most wear the ubiquitous "No Pity" scarf.
The Timbers' unofficial supporters group grew out of a handful of passionate soccer fans a decade ago. Its founders rejected the slick, team-approved branding that goes along with many booster clubs. Instead, they wanted the Army modeled on support groups that surround soccer in Latin America and Europe. That's antithetical to the traditional American concept of sports fanship. The Army wants an identity independent of the team it loves—like a teenager who rebels but will never move out of the house.
Alexi Lalas, a former star on the U.S. national team and an ESPN commentator, says the Army is on par with many supporters groups in other countries. He says Major League Soccer is marketing itself to younger adults epitomized by the Army—and that means an edgy experience beyond the family-oriented approach of the past.
"Portland has done a great job of tapping into this and making it about the drinking and the fan experience leading up to the game," Lalas says. "It's not G anymore, it's not R—but it's certainly PG-13."
The Army has shown its power and bent the Timbers' front office to its will, from getting stadium rules changed that allow for its smoke-bomb demonstrations to taking a cut of the ticket sales from the stadium's North End. When the team unveiled its official MLS logo last summer, members of the Army shouted it down—many with obscenities—and Paulson quickly caved and changed the design.
Keith Costigan, a former Timber who also played professionally in his native Ireland, says the Army has always been a savvy group—and that the team is smart to recognize its influence.
"In five years, Jack Jewsbury won't be around," says Costigan, now an analyst for Fox Soccer. "Players move on, but the fan bases stay. You need to know that they have a voice and are appreciated."

After achieving a National Ranking early in the season, the CEU Women's Basketball Team has struggled
That struggle went on during the first weekend of the month as the team lost to Southern Idaho 66-53 and then fell in a heartbreaking overtime game 74-71 to Northern Idaho.
On Jan. 5 it was a battle of the Lady Golden Eagles versus the Lady Screaming Eagles with the CSI team making most of the noise. CEU went over five minutes in the middle of the first half without hitting a shot. The home team did have a good defense in the first half to keep the game close. They also had a flurry of scoring to end the first half and pull within three.
The cold streak returned in the second half. CEU shot only 26 percent against the 52 percent shooting of their opponents. In the second half CEU tried to score with the long ball throwing up 12 from outside the arc, but only one of those went in. They also got no relief on the free throw line, where they went five for 10.
The women's team had a chance of Saturday night to redeem themselves against the Cardinals. The Golden Eagles wasted no time in establishing an early lead. Even though they were only shooting 37 percent, they sunk 13 out of 15 from the line. They went into the locker room with a comfortable eight point lead.
When the second half resumed, they widened the lead to 18 points. CEU looked like they would cruise to an easy victory. Then the wheels came off the basketball cart. The Cardinals began to put the pressure on. They clawed and scrapped their way back into the game. They forced turnovers and bad shots by the Lady Eagle squad to get right back into the game.
CEU also missed a couple of key free throws in the final minutes that could have iced the game and then NIC hit a shot in the final seconds to send the game into over time.
The Lady Eagles came out and took a five point lead early in the overtime period, But the Cardinals wanted the victory just a bit more. They hit a pair of free throws with seconds left to play that gave them a three point lead. CEU had one final chance, but the shot clanked off the rim and the game went into the loss column for CEU.
The next home game for CEU will be Feb. 3 at the BDAC starting at 5:30 p.m.

The College will sponsor a panel discussion with several key figures who were instrumental in founding the College, including former State Rep. Jimmy D. Long, former Northwestern State President Dr. Robert Alost, Dr. Stan Chadick, Dr. Fraser Snowden and Don Barker. The discussion will begin at 2 p.m. Friday, March 15 in Room 227 of Morrison Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
The Scholars' College will host a dinner to honor and thank founders Saturday, March 16. Faculty, students, NSU President Dr. Randall J. Webb and other administrators and officials will participate.
The Louisiana Scholars' College was founded in 1987 as a four-year selective admissions honors college in the liberal arts and sciences. The backbone of the Scholars' College course load is the Common Curriculum, of which theTexts and Traditions course is the most notable. Students can major or minor in any specialization offered by Northwestern State, or choose to major in the College's specialized liberal arts degree in one of five concentrations that include humanities and social thought, scientific inquiry, history and philosophy of science, fine and performing arts or foreign languages.
The Scholars' College was "a direct outgrowth of the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts," said Alost, who served as LSMSA's first director before becoming president of Northwestern State in 1986. In the summer of 1987, Alost engaged several administrators to visit other liberal arts colleges, develop a curriculum, hire faculty and recruit and advise students. Alost credited Long for playing an instrumental role in gaining approval for the creation of the Scholars' College.
Barker's role focused on academic advising, recruiting, retention and engaging students in extracurricular activities.
"I give all the credit in the world to the wonderful faculty we had in place," Barker said. "Dr. Stan Chadick deserves enormous credit for getting us through the first year."
From the beginning, the environment at the Scholars' College was one in which students not only tackled a challenging curriculum but also learned to successfully interact with people who are different from them, Barker said.
"Students learn from leading and learn from each other," Barker said. "They have varied backgrounds, they exchange ideas…it makes for a wonderful environment."
That environment persists today, with the College under the guidance of Dr. T. Davina McClain, LSC director since 2006, who during her tenure has seen the College grow from 108 students to 211 last fall. LSC students are involved in the spectrum of campus extracurricular activities and have a graduation rate of 69 percent.
"Our students go on to graduate work across the U.S. and in Europe, law schools in and out of state and medical schools," McClain said. "They work for non-profits, teaching English in Korea, Japan and China, and teach other subjects especially here in Louisiana and Texas."
The Scholars' College special isspecial because of the sense of community among the faculty and students and their love of teaching and learning, McClain said.
"We can have heated and challenging discussions from different points of view and then go to lunch together andhelp each other," she said. "We are all passionate about learning and understanding and doing for others. That passion and dedication translates into a lot of work, but also an immense amount of happiness and satisfaction. There aren't really words that can convey what it means or how it feels to be a part of Scholars' College, but it is truly a wonderful place. I hope and believe it always will be."
