Gov. Mary Fallin rejected a proposal Monday to expand the Medicaid health care program to an estimated 150,000 uninsured individuals in Oklahoma and refused to establish an online marketplace for the uninsured to shop for health insurance.
Gov. Mary Fallin says Oklahoma will not develop health care exchange under Affordable Care Act
For more than two years, a group of 28 states, mostly with Republican governors, have fought to prevent the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which has come to be known as Obamacare.
First, states challenged the law in federal court, but the Supreme Court upheld most of the law as constitutional in a ruling on a challenge led by Florida.
Now, many states are refusing to participate in two of the mandated programs.
By refusing the expansion of Medicaid, critics say Oklahoma is turning down between $300 million and $500 million in federal money annually to provide health insurance to those in need.
Fallin's refusal to set up a health exchange means the federal government will establish and operate one in Oklahoma.
Fallin said the Medicaid expansion is unaffordable and untenable given the fiscal challenges the federal government faces. She said any health care exchange set up by Oklahoma would be stymied with strict federal guidelines.
"If we tried to do our own state exchange, myself and other governors across the nation believe it's in name only because in the end it would be the Obama administration that would approve it," Fallin said.
"It does not benefit Oklahoma taxpayers to actively support or fund a new government program that will ultimately be under the control of the federal government, that is opposed by a clear majority of Oklahomans, and that will further the implementation of a law that threatens to erode both the quality of the American health care system and the fiscal stability of the nation."
Oklahoma voters passed a state question in 2010 that sought to prohibit some portions of the Affordable Care Act from being implemented in Oklahoma. State Question 756 had 64.7 percent approval.
"Oklahomans simply do not want anything to do with Obamacare, and Senate Republicans stand firmly with Governor Fallin in rejecting it," said Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman, R-Sapulpa.
"We want real, conservative solutions to the rising cost of health care. We want to make care more accessible, more affordable and easier to obtain."
State Senate Minority Leader Sean Burrage, D-Claremore, said the decision came down to politics rather than what is good for Oklahomans.
"We already currently take about $3 billion from the federal government for Medicaid," Burrage said.
"It provides not just health care for many Oklahomans, but in many cases, it is the financial backbone for our hospitals, particularly our rural hospitals. We had an opportunity here to have compensated care for 115,000 to 200,000 people."
Fallin sent a letter Monday to the U.S. Secretary of Health Kathleen Sebelius, informing her of Oklahoma's decision.
Legal challenges ahead
Fallin and Attorney General Scott Pruitt said they are now hopeful that Oklahoma's challenge to the Affordable Care Act — which was separate from the Florida challenge struck down by the Supreme Court — will prevail in overturning part of the federal law.

Park Tool BBT-9 Bottom Bracket Tool
The BBT-9 Bottom Bracket Tool is designed to remove and install Shimano Hollowtech II bottom brackets. Laser cut for a precise fit, one end of the BBT-9 securely engages the 16 notches of the bottom bracket cups, while the other end engages the 8 internal splines of the crank arm adjustment cap.
This tool compatible with any external bottom bracket like Race Face, SRAM, Shimano, FSA, etc.
Part of your money is going to the name on the tool. Part of your money is also going to a tool that will likely stay with your kit for your riding career. Pick this up when it is on sale, and know you'll have the best tool on the shelf for taking care of your bottom bracket. And also hope that you'll have the same style of bottom bracket as long as possible so you can get the maximum longevity out of your purchase. It is kinda like a Chris King part. You are partially painting yourself into a corner purchasing it. You'll have a great part/tool for your bike, but you'll want to ONLY pick that part/tool up from here on out in order to justify spending so much on it. Your other option is to exchange your tool/services for tasty beverages or dead presidents.
Nice quality tool, well worth the price. Much better than marring up your new part with some pliers.
Plenty of leverage available with the long arm this tool provides. Makes breaking loose the BB cups someone else overtorqued into my frame an easy task. And with the bit of weight this tool has, it could serve as an excellent attitude adjusting stick. Perfect for when other riders start whining too much about conditions, parts, or something else.
I considered going with something a bit less expensive. I thought of the old adage, "Buy an expensive tool, regret it once. Buy a cheap tool, regret it every time you use it." It's a great tool, and I'm glad I picked it up.
Excellent tool. Integrated crank socket on the end. No need to look for it in your tool box.

The purpose of this study is to find ways to get services to families living with HIV. New services for families living with HIV have been tried in places around the country. They seem to benefit many families. We will work with places in New York City that provide HIV services to find out more about family services. There, we will talk with people living with HIV, their family members, and their providers. Many questions need to be answered. For example: What kinds of services do families want? What would make it easier for families to come in for services? What would get in the way?

Families affected by HIV and AIDS require access to a comprehensive continuum of services. Findings from our own and other recently completed federally sponsored intervention trials and other studies could be used to help expand and enhance these services. However, a number of fundamental questions must first be answered about the feasibility of "technology transfer." This study will address this issue by conducting individual interviews and focus groups with providers from 64 medical care and social service settings. Data will also be obtained through a comprehensive assessment of providers' capacities to serve families and to participate in technology transfer, including dimensions of organizational mission and leadership, availability of resources, and connections in the community. Thirty patients/clients served by each setting along with approximately twenty of their family members will also be individually interviewed to assess their needs for services, factors that affect their desire for family-oriented services, and their willingness to take part in psychosocial intervention studies. Data analysis will determine how initial setting readiness and setting capacities, and feedback about patient and family needs and willingness to participate in research, influence change in readiness, interest in capacity building and participation in research partnership activities. We will also conduct hierarchical data analyses to better understand how providers' readiness and capacities are related to clients'and families' service needs, barriers to participation, and willingness to participate in research. Study findings will guide efforts to implement family-oriented intervention research in frontline community service settings, and will help to establish a scientific framework for studying the process of technology transfer. Additionally, this project will lay the groundwork for sustained research collaboration with the network of community providers participating in this study to further explore ways to address the needs of families affected by HIV/AIDS.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Patients/clients and their families at HIV/AIDS care centers
Inclusion Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria for Sampling AIDS Care Settings: Our goal in sampling is to identify and recruit the kinds of organizations that might ultimately be targets for Phase IV trials and other Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center dissemination efforts. For purposes of this research, we define an "AIDS Care Setting" as any setting which:
- Provides primary medical care, case management, day treatment, mental health or substance use treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS.
- Includes two or more full-time professional staff (e.g., social workers, nurses, clergy, physicians, or psychologists) with primary responsibility for an HIV/AIDS population.
- Has an active caseload of at least 50 people with HIV/AIDS.
- Has been in operation as an HIV/AIDS provider for at least two years.
- Has leadership and staff who are agreeable to participate in the work plan outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
Inclusion Criteria for Providers:
- Working as an administrator of HIV/AIDS care services, or a direct provider of services to HIV+ patients/clients.
- Working at the agency for at least 6 months.
- Working at the agency at least 20 hours a week.
- Able to converse in English or Spanish.
- Identified by agency leadership as staff who meet above criteria and can be approached, or want to volunteer to be interviewed.
Inclusion Criteria for Sampling Patients/Clients:
- Identified as HIV+ (according to identification by setting staff and/or by virtue of receiving services in a program exclusively designated for people infected with HIV/AIDS).
- Receiving services at an HIV/AIDS Care Setting sampled for this study, at the time of recruitment.
- Identified as a setting client for at least three months (in order to answer questions about the setting).
- Age 18 or older or emancipated minors over age 16.
- Able to converse in English or Spanish.
- Physically and mentally capable of providing informed consent, as determined by a trained interviewer.
Inclusion Criteria for Patients'/Clients' Family Members: In keeping with the definition of family as "networks of mutual commitment" adopted by the NIMH Family and AIDS Consortium, and in recognition of the diverse types of family situations of people affected by HIV/AIDS, we will include anyone designated as a "family member" by the index client/patient who meets our other inclusion criteria:
- Identified by index patient client as "one of the people in my family most likely to participate in programs with me" at the HIV/AIDS Care Setting sampled for this study.
- Age 18 or older or emancipated minors over age 16.
- Able to converse in English or Spanish.
- Physically and mentally capable of providing informed consent, as determined by a trained interviewer.
Exclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria for AIDS Care Settings: Note that two or more AIDS Care Settings may exist within a single institution or agency. For example, hospitals may have separate programs for adult and pediatric HIV. A community AIDS service organization may have multiple distinct programs for different populations. Also, two settings may be closely coordinated. In order to ensure independence among settings, we will adopt the following exclusionary criteria:
- Only one AIDS Care Setting administered or governed by a given institution will be included in the study. If one setting from a particular institution agrees to participate, other settings from that institution will be ineligible.
- Multi-site programs or programs of a single agency that are working together in a coordinated fashion for purposes of this study will be treated as a single "AIDS Care Setting." If we discover that programs are affiliated, we will remove them from the list. In general, we will attempt to carry out this project at the site initially identified, although involvement of multiple sites may be necessary.
Exclusion Consideration for Providers: All providers who are identified by the agency leadership will be approached. However, a provider will not be able to participate if he/she has already participated in the study as a provider from another agency.
Exclusion Considerations for Patients and Families: All patients/clients of settings identified for this study and meeting above inclusion criteria are eligible. Patients/clients will be able to participate regardless of whether or not they nominate a family member to participate in the study with them.
Patients/clients will not be able to participate if they:
- Are not HIV+.
- Have been receiving services at the HIV/AIDS care setting for less than three months.
- Are under the age of 18, or are not emancipated minors.
- Are not able to converse in either English or Spanish.
- Are physically and mentally incapable of providing informed consent, as determined by a trained interviewer.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The Mathis fire, which started last Thursday after a lightning strike hit the ground above Willow Creek Canyon, continued to dominate the northern Carbon County skyline on Wednesday.
Ranked as the number one wildfire of concern in the nation because of the site's proximity to coal mines, gas wells and power lines, the blaze had burned almost 1,800 acres by the middle of the week.
While the size of the local blaze pales in comparison to the Milford Flats incident in southwestern Utah, which had consumed 340,000 acres on Wednesday, the flames of the Mathis wildfire have been driven by canyon winds and extremely dry conditions.
"At this point, I would say we have the fire about 20 percent contained," said Richard Harvey, incident commander, on Wednesday. "Yesterday, the fire jumped our lines because of the wind, but that jump, along the southwest edge of the fire line only burned about five acres before we were able to get it back under control."
Harvey and the entire fire fighting team are headquartered at the Western Energy Training Center near Castle Gate.
Emergency crews have put out a second lightning caused fire near Kenilworth. The wildfire burned about 60 acres of grass and junipers after starting last Friday.
The effort to quell the Mathis blaze has been a momentous task.
Firefighters from as far away as Missouri have been battling the blaze. On Wednesday, three helicopters were bringing a continual stream of water and fire retardant to the lines to help crews with boots on the ground.
The incident was dubbed the Mathis fire because the blaze started on land owned by the Mathis family in the Emma-Whitmore Park area. The primary fuel for the wildfire is grass, juniper and various kinds of timber that grow on the tops of and in back of the Book Cliffs.
During the Wednesday mornings briefing, United States Congressman Jim Matheson made a speaker phone call to the group. Matheson said he would support the crews in any way on their efforts to battle the blaze.
One of the firefighters commented afterward that he had never heard a congressman call a fire team before and give support like that.
The effort to fight the fire is similar to a war.
The coordination between ground and air crews has to be close so that the retardant and water are dropped in the right place.
Much of the process is coordinated by a supervisor in an airplane far above the fire.
Ground crews call in when they feel they need support and the helicopters are dispatched on a priority basis by the eye in the sky to the areas they are most needed.
Another way in which the effort resembles a war action is in the logistics.
To support more than 200 personnel on the fire line and the many support personnel that are behind them requires a lot of materials and supplies.
A large catering service was brought in from Montana to supply the food needs of the crews. The service has three large trailers, three tents and a sanitation unit set up on the grounds of the WETC.
In addition the headquarters includes support for finance, logistics, weather, public information and other support services.
All these functions and others are set up in one of the WETC buildings.
The headquarters staff has set up their tents within a couple of the buildings larger rooms for sleeping quarters. Setting up those tents affords some privacy for the members of the headquarters staff for their indeterminate stay at WETC.
"This fire has been difficult not only because of the dry conditions, but the terrain it is in is difficult too," said Harvey. "We have a lot of places where we are trying to get a clean fire line established and that isn't always easy in this type of geography."
The fire which has been stopped near Cordingly Canyon on the east, was of concern initially because of the nearness of the mining activity it could affect. Some old mines exist in the canyon, but are not active.
As many residents have noted the fire seems to flare up in the afternoon and be very subdued in the morning. Some have questioned if the efforts against the fire continue at night.
"We are very careful about fighting any kinds of wildfires at night," said Harvey. "It is a good time to knock them down because it is cooler and often winds are down, but fire fighters out in the field can't see things like rolling rocks and cliffs. We can get a lot of people hurt if we fight blazes at night. I will not rule that out under some conditions but our main goal here is to get the fire out as quick as possible with no injuries to anyone."
Fire behavior is dependent on many factors. The most important being the weather said Harvey.
"What the weather does, it does," he said. "We can't do anything about that but react properly to its actions."
Robert Survick, the incident meteorologist, said that the weather for Wednesday into Thursday could include some winds and some dry thunderstorms as well. He said a high is moving to the east and the winds will probably shift so they come from the southwest.
Another nuisance for fire crews can be spectators, although the incident commander did not refer to that problem on Wednesday, as he did Monday when he was interviewed.
All Carbon County residents are urged to stay away from fire areas.

The drought of 2012 couldn't have come at a worse time. Sure, no one wants to experience a drought, but this drought hit with near record-low carryover stocks for grains, already the smallest cattle supply since the 1950s, and an extremely high number of corn acres planted across the country.

NEWS: Rangers Sign Jesper Fast
The Rangers have announced that they have signed 2010 sixth round pick Jesper Fast.
James Mirtle has a scouting report on Fast that says, "a very good skater with nice acceleration and top speed"
Leslie Treff tweets, "Ranger's signing of Jasper Fasth should bring another speedy skilled top six player into the fold."
Fast signed a contract extension with his Swedish team, HV 71, in December because he wanted to have the option to stay in Sweden and continue to work on his game.
It is expected that Fast will spend this season in Europe and come to North America next season.
Leslie Treff wrote in April, "What that will involve is likely giving Fasth a bonus while having him play in Europe for another season, with no assurance that he will play for the Rangers in the fall of 2013. Although that is a big risk, it is expected that New York will do just that, as Fasth has excellent offensive upside."
Fast brutally injured his leg earlier this season.

Press Release Below
New York, May 29, 2012 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with forward Jesper Fast.
Fast, 20, skated in 21 games with HV71 of the Swedish Elite League (SEL) this season, registering five goals and 11 assists for 16 points, along with four penalty minutes and a plus-nine rating. He established a career-high in assists and plus-minus rating, and tied his career-high in points despite missing three months with a fractured ankle suffered on November 29 vs. Brynas IF. Fast posted three multi-point performances during the season, including a career-high four assists and five points on October 4 at AIK. He registered 10 points in six games from October 4 at AIK to October 20 at Frolunda, tallying one goal and nine assists over the span. Fast also recorded two goals and one assist in five playoff games with HV71.
In 2010-11, Fast tallied seven goals and nine assists for 16 points, along with six penalty minutes and a plus-six rating in 36 games with HV71 (SEL). He established career-highs in games played, goals, points, penalty minutes, and power play goals (two). In addition, Fast made his SEL playoff debut, skating in three postseason contests with HV71. Prior to joining HV71, Fast skated in six games with HV71 Jr. (Swe-Jr.), registering three goals and seven assists for 10 points, along with four penalty minutes and a plus-eight rating.
The 6-0, 180-pounder made his SEL debut in 2009-10, skating in two games with HV71. Earlier that season, Fast established Swedish SuperElit League (Swe-Jr.) career-highs in goals (23), assists (26) and points (49) in 37 games with HV71 Jr. He tied for the team lead in goals, second in points and third in assists. Fast also recorded two assists in three playoff contests with HV71 Jr.
Internationally, Fast has represented Sweden in several tournaments, including at the 2011 IIHF U-20 World Junior Championship. He tied for the team lead with four goals, and added two assists for six points in six tournament contests. The Nassjo, Sweden native also registered one goal and one assist in four games with Sweden at the 2010 U-20 USA National Junior Evaluation Camp at Lake Placid.
Fast was selected by the Rangers as a sixth round choice, 157th overall, in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

A Carthage man was charged Thursday with leaving the scene of a personal-injury accident after his van struck a woman who was crossing the street in a motorized wheelchair, Watertown police said.
Police said Clifford F. Lavancha, 74, of 22563 Boyd Road, was heading east on Clinton Street about 10:41 a.m. Thursday when his 2006 Dodge Caravan struck the motorized chair as its operator, Tammy Babcock-Hornsby, 46, of 114 Franklin St., Apt. 206, was crossing the intersection at Clinton and Washington streets.
Police said Mr. Lavancha briefly stopped after hitting Ms. Babcock-Hornsby but then drove away. Police later determined that he was the driver involved in the accident, they said.
Ms. Babcock-Hornsby, who fell into the road, was taken to Samaritan Medical Center, where she was treated and released.
Police also charged Mr. Lavancha with failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

Elgin Baylor Roundup
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 10/08/08, 07:47am:
The story is beginning to come into focus. We've learned from Baylor himself that, "[t]here's a dispute going on." We also know that Baylor's mug and bio were mysteriously missing from the team's media guide. There are additional reports that the 74-year-old Baylor was offered some sort of ambassadorial or emeritus role with the team.
That this departure lacks ceremony and tact is little surprise, given Donald T. Sterling's history. You don't have to be a sentimentalist, though, to feel that the length of Baylor's tenure, coupled with his legacy as one of the most dynamic basketball players in Los Angeles history, warranted more menschkeit from the organization.
Baylor Reax from around the web
Mark Heisler:
Elgin's problem was always two-fold: a) You rarely did anything he wanted to do, and b) he wanted the job too badly to ever put it on the line.
...Did you ever notice these things never happen to the Lakers?
The words Laker Family mean something with an organization studded with former players and Jerry Buss giving Magic Johnson and Pat Riley multi-million dollar severance packages after they left and were of no more use to him.
You don't hear people talk about Clipper Family. If someone did, I'd think of a family like that of the Emperor Commodus in "Gladiator."
This didn't have to happen at the same time you opened a sparkling $50-million practice site that could have symbolized a rebirth but as this debacle shows, your organization still needs some work, like from the top down.
Vikings went out like Vikings, pushed into fjords in ships to be set ablaze in a hail of burning arrows.
Clippers still go out like Clippers, feet first.
Given the unkind end to his legendary playing career, as well as the years of thankless service he gave the Clips long before their more recent flirtations with respectability, this is no way for Elg to go out, embroiled in a murky he-said, he-said.
Resigned? Retired? Fired? No one is quite sure. One theory suggests Baylor felt too much emphasis had been placed on his age and balked at the stripped-of-power terms he was offered to stay on as a consultant and/or ambassador. Another theory holds that Baylor, before a team-imposed Monday deadline for a final decision, hit the Clips with an aggressive string of demands to stay on.So much, then, for the fantasy notion that Baylor would be the one prominent figure in Clippers history who wouldn't leave in a messy divorce. Instead, we're looking at the usual unsavory parting of owner Donald Sterling and one of his leading basketball men, requiring the intervention of lawyers to negotiate a resolution.
The Clippers might actually run more smoothly without Baylor, because it reduces their management muddle from three factions -- (1) Sterling and team president Andy Roeser; (2) Dunleavy and trusty aide Neil Olshey; (3) Baylor -- to two.
In October 2003, just a few months after the Clippers named Dunleavy coach, the team brought in personnel director Neil Olshey and let go of longtime personnel man Barry Hecker, a move that was seen by most as the result of a power struggle between Dunleavy and Baylor. With Hecker out and Olshey hired, there was no question that Dunleavy had put his stamp on the organization, and that Baylor was increasingly becoming a figurehead.
Baylor is a link to "The Worst Franchise in Pro Sports" days. He should have been fired each and every year since, say, 1987. So that's about two decades of reprieves. And although not much will change in the short term since MDsr was already calling the shots, it's clearly better for him to have the title along with the responsibility.
Seems like it could have been handled better though. I hope Baylor doesn't end up suing Sterling for his salary like Bill Fitch had to. That's embarrassing.
I have a piece up at TrueHoop. The takeaway:
Mike Dunleavy will assume the GM post. He has named Neil Olshey, whom he brought in the summer of 2003 from SFX Sports Group [now part of Wasserman Media Group], as assistant GM.
As an executive, Baylor was an enigma -- a fact that's as much a product of circumstance as instinct. From the outset, Baylor had a unique arrangement with Sterling. Virtually every owner in sports demands winning as a mandate from his front office principal. But Baylor wasn't asked to achieve with the Clippers so much as to preside. No matter how bad things got for the Clippers, Baylor had unrivaled job security.That's because Sterling wasn't looking for a visionary. He wanted an attendant.
Stein's point is interesting -- factional strife in Clipperland has now been reduced from a tripartite affair to two opposing camps. Makes for more streamlined conflict.

Admission Requirements
To be considered for admission to any Saint Louis University undergraduate program, the applicant must be graduating from an accredited high school or have an acceptable HiSET exam score or the General Education Development (GED) test.
Solid academic performance in college preparatory course work is a primary concern in reviewing a freshman applicant's file. College admission test scores (ACT or SAT) are used as an additional indicator of the student's ability to meet the academic rigors of Saint Louis University and are used as qualifiers for certain University scholarship programs.
Recommended High School Coursework
Students are strongly encouraged to present five academic courses for each of their four years of high school, including:
- Four years each of English and mathematics
- Three years each of foreign language, natural sciences, social sciences and academic electives
In addition, academic programs within the Doisy College of Health Sciences require high school natural sciences courses in biology and chemistry. Physics is strongly recommended for Physical Therapy applicants.
Home-Schooled Students
SLU welcomes admission applications from home-schooled students. Home-schooled applicants must submit all secondary-level transcripts and official ACT or SAT test scores. If transcripts from an accredited home-schooling program are not available, an official copy of a GED certificate must be submitted for consideration for admission. Home-schooled students are eligible for scholarship consideration.
Probationary Admission
Freshman applicants not meeting admission requirements for the fall semester may be offered admission through the University's Billiken Bridge to Success Program. If interested in this admission option, students must enroll in and successfully complete a three-week summer program prior to the fall semester. Other applicants may be offered admission on the condition that they enroll in certain prescribed courses during their first semester at the University.
English Proficiency Requirements for Direct Admission
All international applicants are required to demonstrate their English proficiency, which can be done by submitting any one of the following:
- 550 on the paper-based TOEFL (PBT)
- 80 on the internet-based TOEFL (IBT)
- 6.5 on the IELTS
- 54 on the PTE
- 600 on the Critical Reading portion of the SAT
- 25 on the English portion of the ACT
- Successful completion of a college-level, non-ESL English class at a U.S. college or university
Saint Louis University reserves the right to require additional testing of any incoming student's English skills. SLU's ETS code for TOEFL and SAT scores is 6629, and SLU's ACT code is 2352. TOEFL and IELTs scores are considered valid for two years.
Conditional Admission
Students who are otherwise admissible and present one of the following scores may be considered for conditional admission:
- 480 on the PBT
- 55 on the IBT
- 5.5 on the IELTS
Any student admitted conditionally as an undergraduate has a maximum of 18 consecutive months to pass the language requirement. Summer classes may be required.

KENTWOOD, Mich. (WZZM)-- An overnight fire destroyed a playground at Pinewood Park in Kentwood and investigators believe it may have been intentionally set.
The fire began at around 1:30 a.m. Thursday morning, causing thousands of dollars of damage.
Faith Hommes,15, has visited the park for years and can't believe it may have been intentionally set.
"It makes me angry," says Hommes. "Why would you take this away from so many people?"
The playground was built completely by local volunteers with donations from the community.
"I was one of the volunteers and I'm very angry someone would do this to the children and the citizens of the city of Kentwood," says Ron Woods, Director of Kentwood Public Works Department.
"I'm just devastated its gone. I brought my daughter and my niece here," says Tiffany Wafula.
Fire officials are still investigating and looking for witnesses.
"Arson has certainly not been ruled out, and we're looking for information from anyone who has seen anything," says Brent Looman, Fire Chief for Kentwood Fire Department.
The damage is estimated at around $50,000.
"I'd love to see it rebuilt, but it was a large effort to get this together in the first place, and it's pretty much a total loss," says Woods.
"I hope they find the people responsible and hopefully rebuild it," says Hommes.
The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation. Anyone with information in the case is asked to call the Kentwood Fire Department or police.

Utah's Orrin Hatch will on the United States Senate's finance, judiciary, health, labor, education and pension and intelligence committees during the 111th Congress.
As a member of the finance and joint taxation committees, Hatch's plans include striving to expand the economy through incentives, advocating policies encouraging savings and investment and continuing the fight to cut capital gains taxes to bring relief to working Americans, reining in federal spending and restoring America's financial independence.
"The federal government cannot spend its way out of this financial crisis," said Hatch last Wednesday. "We need to reduce irresponsible government spending and promote policies that will ensure that every dollar the federal government spends is being spent to meet vital needs and not being wasted on wants."
As a long-standing member of the judiciary committee, Hatch believes he is positioned to play a leading role in pushing laws that will make cities and streets safer, guard Americans' right to bear arms and protect the nation's most-vulnerable citizens - women, children and the elderly.
The Utah senator also believes he can help ensure the appointment of judicial nominees who respect and uphold the U.S. Constitution.
"I reject the misguided notion some advocate that the Constitution means what the judges say it means,'" said Hatch, a former judiciary committee chairman. "It is crucial to ensure the appointment of judges who understand the Constitution and the important but limited role our founders intended for them to play in our system of government."
A former health, education, labor and pensions panel chair, Hatch plans to continue working on that committee to try to make health care more accessible and affordable. Hatch noted the U.S. spends $2 trillion for health care, but only ranks 41st in health status in the World Health Organization rankings.
"That must change," said the Utah senator. "Health is a national issue that must be resolved in a bipartisan and fiscally responsible manner. We must ensure that every American has access to the quality and affordable health care of their choice. We can do that by controlling costs through more efficient and quality-focused health care delivery, and by building on private sector choices. We also must focus on preventative health care."

The VB-C300 features a genuine Canon auto-focus wide angle lens, with a 70° maximum horizontal angle of view letting you get more of the scene into the frame, even at close range- making it the right choice for monitoring tight spaces such as an ATM kiosks.
The wide angle of view is also ideal for comprehensive monitoring of large sites, where it's important to catch as much of the scene as possible in a single shot.
The VB-C300 lens is able to maintain accurate focus throughout the entire image, compared to typical wide-angle lens cameras, where the corners are often out of focus.
Canon is famous for superbly engineered broadcast and camera lenses, and the 2.4x Optical Zoom lens as found in the VB-C300 delivers the clear, sharp images you expect from a Canon lens. This lens will brilliantly cover a host of monitoring challenges.

In Runner, Runner, Justin Timberlake plays Richie, a needy, ambitious grad student who pays off his college tuition bills with money he wins gambling. When he thinks he has the system figured out, he risks it all at an unregulated offshore gambling website — and loses. He decides he must confront the entrepreneur who cheated him, and that man, played by Ben Affleck, offers him a job. It seems like a dream gig, but eventually the party turns ominous. He realizes too late that he is so far in that he might not be able to get out.
Mauro Fiore, ASC and director Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer, The Take) turned their cameras on this story in Puerto Rico, which stood in for Costa Rica because it was a U.S. territory and offered more of an infrastructure for filmmaking. In 2009, Fiore won an OSCAR® for his work on Avatar, and his other feature credits include Real Steel, The A-Team, Smokin' Aces, The Island, Tears of the Sun, and Training Day.
The story unfolds in two basic environments. The college scenes are set at Princeton in the wintertime and were filmed, with the exception of some aerial exteriors, at older buildings in San Juan. The images emphasize cooler, blue tones, and the settings tend to be smaller and darker. The Costa Rica scenes, in contrast, feature a slicker, more colorful look with many bright, warm and slightly exotic exteriors.
Partly because of those exteriors, the filmmakers chose to shoot film, in the Super 35 4-perf format for a widescreen finish.
"Brad and I agreed that film would be the best medium to capture the colors of this Latin world," says Fiore. "We really wanted to shoot film right from the beginning. My initial instinct was anamorphic, but we felt that spherical might be a little easier given the location. The 4-perf format meant that we had a little more leeway."
Fiore credits Furman with consistently making choices that were visually interesting. "As I read the script, the story was going to be in hotel rooms and casino resorts," he describes. "Brad really brought a fresh approach, and fought to stretch it out, to take it further than your typical feature film. We worked very hard to seek out locations that had much more of a street vibe, with the color and character of the real places. That was a symbol of what Justin's character would use to fight back for himself — the common, working class people of that country."
Ivan Block, Affleck's character, was always framed with geometric forms, in angular locations, with straight line moves to emphasize his inhumanity and lack of emotion. The type of existing street lighting also factored into the location decisions.
"As far as the exteriors are concerned, I really like to work with whatever is there practically, and enhance that," explains Fiore. "We chose specific streets because they were sodium vapor or mercury vapor. Richie's exteriors were planned as sodium vapor, and anything with Block was either white or mercury vapor. We carried those colors as a motif throughout the film."
The roughly 50-day shoot took place almost entirely on locations, with the exception of a handful of built sets. One particularly elaborate party, where Richie first meets Ivan, was filmed at an old fort in San Juan.
"We had a lot of big night exteriors, and there were quite a few large-scale parties," he says. "At the fort, I used a lot of LED fixtures and combinations of moving lights for a carnivalesque effect. It was an interesting challenge to light this archaic architecture using new technology."
Fiore used KODAK VISION3 250D Color Negative Film 5207 extensively in daylight situations. "It's one of my favorite film stocks," he says. "I like the contrast. The light and shadows are very important to me, even in day exteriors. I'm usually adding contrast rather than taking it away. I use a lot of negative fill. But the film stock itself already has contrast built in, which I really like."
KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219 was the stock of choice for night and tungsten-balanced situations. The film was sent to Technicolor in New York for processing, which also provided a calibrated projector.
The lenses were PANAVISION Primes and Primo zooms, including the 3:1 and the 11:1. ANGENIEUX zooms, including the 15-40mm and the 28-76mm, were used for STEADICAM or handheld shots. Often the zooms were helpful in tight locations.
Two cameras were often employed with a longer zoom on B camera. "The PANAVISION 3:1 zoom is just a really great zoom lens," says Fiore. "I like to shoot with two cameras, but not necessarily shooting at the same angle. The B camera might be at a completely off angle with profiles. Sometimes it's almost as if the B camera is handling subtext, and A camera is handling the text. That way we're able to really isolate specific little details."
The A camera/STEADICAM operator was Kirk Gardner, and B camera was handled by Maurice McGuire. "That team is very important to me, because they're also creative on their own," Fiore notes. "It's not like they're just taking orders from me. I feel like it's a collaborative relationship. And that goes for the gaffer, Jack Coffen, and key grip, John Janusek, as well. I was lucky to be able to bring a lot of crewmembers who work with me often. I have a really strong base crew, and we have a tight collaboration with each other." Looking back, Fiore says the decision to shoot film was in harmony with the overall visual strategy, and suited to the logistical challenges of the project.
"Traditionally, images have been created on film, and that means a lot to us," says Fiore. "But on Runner, Runner, there were practical reasons to shoot film as well. We didn't have to have a lot of gear traveling with us, and we weren't traveling with an extra DIT. We weren't trying to do color correction on the fly. There weren't a lot of people around involved with trying to make the image look right. If we wanted to film inside a car, we just took the camera and went inside the car. There was nothing needed besides a battery. It was a much easier, much more flexible format to deal with."
Runner, Runner begins rolling out in theaters in September.

MASSENA - A representative from the U.S. Tennis Association recently visited Massena with an eye toward possibly providing a summer tennis program for kids.
Recreation Superintendent Richard A. Boprey said he had received a call from the representative, who said she would be in the area from Albany and would like to meet with him.
I took her to Alcoa Field, where the Massena Recreation Department operates a tennis court, he said.
During her visit, Mr. Boprey said they discussed possible programs including summer tennis for kids, as well as grant funding that could supply tennis rackets and balls.
She said they would provide netting. She said she was going to try to help get a federal grant to get the courts fixed, he said. Its all preliminary right now.
The U.S. Tennis Association website lists a number of youth-related tennis activities, including a Kids Tennis Club, a program that allows kids to sample tennis through supervised play and interactive activities.
This program is a great way for kids to be introduced to tennis in a safe, open-play setting at local schools, parks, youth centers and tennis facilities, according to the website. These clubs offer kids the opportunity to have fun, gain confidence and meet new friends, all while enhancing their social and physical development.
They also promote 10 and Under Tennis, which they describe as an exciting new play format for learning childrens tennis, designed to bring kids ages 10 and under into the game by utilizing specialized equipment, shorter court dimensions and modified scoring, all tailored to age and size.
As that possible effort progresses, Massena recreation officials are also focusing on a more immediate and certain event - the return of TNA Impact wrestling to the Massena Arena on April 19. Among those scheduled to appear are current World Heavyweight Champion Bully Ray, Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, Devon, Matt Morgan, Magnus, Velvet Sky and the Aces & Eights faction.
TNA Impact wrestling was last in Massena in May 2011, and that event sold out, according to Mr. Boprey.
We got it back. Ive been on and off chatting with the guy (TNA promoter Gary Hathaway). It didnt work last year, he said.
This year, however, he got a call asking if they could bring the wrestling organization back to Massena.
He said, We had a tremendous time. We loved your venue. We loved the way you handled tickets, Mr. Boprey said.
Its a win-win situation for both organizations. TNA Impact wrestling reaps the rewards from the ticket sales, and the Massena Recreation Department receives the rental fee and sales from the concession. Mr. Boprey said their concession netted about $300 during the 2011 show.
They bring security in. They bring all of the ring in, he said.
Tickets are on sale now for the show, which begins at 7:30 p.m. Theyre available at the Massena Arena box office, online at www.flynntix.org or charge by phone at 802-863-5966.
Sales are cash only at the Massena Arena box office, and the box office is generally open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, but call ahead first at 769-3161.
Tickets through the arena box office are $21 for bleachers, $36 for general admission ringside and $51 for Gold circle ringside. Fans who purchase a $51 ticket will receive an early-entry autograph session with select Impact Wrestling superstars at 5:30 p.m. Doors will open for the general public at 6:30 p.m.

PAWTUCKET—Despite the sight of flashing lights, firetrucks, and American Red Cross volunteers at Fogarty Manor on Friday morning, there was no cause for alarm. The city-owned high-rise was the scene of a "mock disaster" drill designed to provide training in evacuation protocol for a multi-unit building of this type.
The exercise brought together the city's Emergency Management Agency, the Pawtucket Police and Fire departments, the Pawtucket Housing Authority (which operates Fogarty Manor), the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency, the Rhode Island Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army of Pawtucket. Also assisting as emergency responders were Fire Department from Central Falls, North Cumberland and Valley Falls.
The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA)also participated in the drill in an effort to test its new emergency transportation evacuation protocol, and members of Central Falls High School's new Student Emergency Response Team (SERT) helped out by playing the role of elderly residents who were forced to leave the building.
The drill was based around a fictitious scenario where a fire breaks out in a 6th floor apartment of the 300-unit high-rise building. The fire has knocked out the electrical system and caused smoky conditions which create the need for an evacuation of the residents. Fifty people, a mix of Fogarty Manor tenants and the Central Falls' SERT students, volunteered to participate in the evacuation drill.
Once all the volunteers were safely evacuated from the building, they were directed to board RIPTA buses and were then transported to the designated "recovery shelter" at St. Mary's Church Hall. Once there, they received food and water (actually a "thank-you lunch") from the American Red Cross, as well as a talk on fire safety.
Pawtucket's EMA Director Normand Menard called the drill a "no-fault exercise" where capabilities, plans, systems and processes will be evaluated. "We're just trying to find out if there are any gaps," he said. The point is also to test the communications by police and fire personnel and the various responding agencies.
"The whole idea is to make everyone as ready as possible if a disaster of this or another type should occur in the city and prepare for it as best we can to assure public safety," said Menard. He said that funding for the drill was provided by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Lammis Vargas, liaison to Mayor Donald Grebien, said the mayor and Director of Administration Antonio Pires couldn't be there due to scheduling conflicts, but that both had "put in a lot of time to make sure the drill occurred effectively." She and other city officials said the exercise had been several weeks in the planning stages.
Jim Ruthowski, director of protective services for the Pawtucket Housing Authority, said that while the exercise will be beneficial for personnel of the city-operated high-rises, the management staff of several other privately owned housing facilities in Pawtucket and Central Falls were also invited to witness the drill. "It's all about communicating with each other in an emergency" he said.
Pawtucket Fire Chief William Sisson noted that normally, a fire in a high-rise would not require an evacuation of this type. He said most of the local buildings have electrical generators which would keep the air conditioning and ventilation systems flowing. He also said the city's high-rises are built to be self-contained in the event of a fire, so residents are actually instructed to stay in their rooms and wait for firefighters to come to them. Typically, a fire in an apartment unit prompts only the evacuation of the fire floor itself and the floor above. "However, we want to make sure everyone has an evacuation plan," he noted.
Central Falls Fire Chief Robert Bradley said he also saw the value in holding such an exercise, noting that his city has five senior housing complexes. He added that he has several new firefighters on the department who would benefit from the evacuation protocol training.
Sisson said the drill had been planned for several weeks and was not organized in response to a recent Channel 10 news report in which the city was criticized for allegedly not holding fire safety inspections at the high-rises as required under the state's fire statutes.
The chief agreed that while there were no records of such inspections, he said fire personnel are regularly inside all of the city's high-rises due to calls for medical service and also said that lectures and information on fire safety are provided at least once a year at tenant meetings. He added that Pawtucket's elderly and disabled housing is inspected annually by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, and considers the city's facilities to be safe.
Cheryl Ihrig, property manager at Northern Plaza, which was the scene of a fatal fire on March 2, was one of several personnel from local high-rises who had been invited to observe the drill. She said it was "very timely," coinciding with recent educational programs for tenants on safety and security. She also noted that her facility has its own evacuation plan and that inspections of fire alarms are done every three months.
Amy Alba, director of residential services at the privately operated Doyle Manor, also said that regular meetings about fires and other safety concerns are held for tenants and that members of the police and fire departments are often brought in as guest speakers on these topics. "But we always want to learn more. We want to learn all that we can" she said, of her attendance at the exercise.
Several Fogarty Manor tenants, watching from a bench outside, said they thought the mock disaster drill was a good idea.
Conrad Basiliere, who has lived at the high-rise for 11 years, said "We never had anything like this. I think it's great." He said the tenants have been instructed about general fire safety in the building, such as where the stairwells are located and what to do if the fire alarm goes off. "You're informed, but we never had this," he said, nodding at the large-scale exercise.
Charlie Black, a 7-year tenant who is also president of the Fogarty Manor Association, said he had never experienced a mock drill before but agreed it is "something that should be done more often." He added that Fogarty has just received a new fire suppression system where each unit has a fire alarm with an intercom feature that alerts tenants to emergency situations.
A six-year tenant, who gave her name only as Nicole, said she thought the mock drill was "definitely a good idea, especially with all the craziness going on, bomb scares and such. You never know."

Pretty cool
This performance was from Ralph's November 14, 2013 performance at PASIC 2013 in Indianapolis, IN. Ralph was the first drum set artist of the weekend and he packed the large ballroom where his clinic was held, and made a lot of jaws drop in the process. This clip is of Ralph playing along to the Chick Corea track "Humpty Dumpty."
Ralph is "one of the last mohicans" as my friend Joe Hibbs from Mapex Drums likes to say. At 21 years old, he was the last drummer to be personally selected by the legendary jazz drummer Art Blakey to play in his Jazz Messengers Big Band. The last drummer that the legendary Elvin Jones called to sub for him on a gig...Ralph Peterson. Just those two credentials alone speak to Ralph's pedigree. Young enough to still be hip, but having been able to spend time under the tutelage of jazz legends that are no longer with us, Ralph is in the unique position of straddling two different worlds.
He's been a bandleader for 17 albums that he's released and has been a full professor at Berklee College of Music for 11 years now. This is the first of a few clips we'll release of Ralph's awesome performance at PASIC. Enjoy! (-Chris)
