I feel compelled to write Anna's birth story – and my own birth-as-a-Mom story. This is most likely because I'm sitting here at nearly 19 weeks pregnant with Baby #2. Oh hey, in case you hadn't heard, Crazy Mama is getting ready to be that much crazier.
It's going to be a two-part post. The first is all exposition, sorry. It's just that I feel a need to explain. Otherwise, you might be a little surprised at how things unfold. Besides, everybody loves a cliff hanger.
How to begin…
Early in my first pregnancy, we decided to forego obstetrical care and begin prenatal care with a CPM, or Certified Practical Midwife. I saw an OB regularly up until about week 24, when the "final straw" occurred that made us decide we'd be in better hands outside a traditional clinical setting.
My pregnancy was super easy. I was low risk, both in terms of my own health and in terms of maternal family history. On two separate occasions, someone at the OB's office – the most popular practice in our town – panicked over nothing and sent me on a spiral of anxiety, in both cases due to an improper reading of their own instruments.
The first time, at about 13 weeks, the Nurse Practitioner (who I'd not met before this visit) could not detect a fetal heartbeat with the Doppler device. Rather than simply saying, "Sorry, I'm having trouble getting a reading – let's go over to ultrasound for a look," the woman visibly panicked, started shaking, and stammered out, "Oh gosh, oh – I – I don't hear a heartbeat."
Yeah, really.
I had to take control (someone needed to.) I demanded she leave the room to inform imaging to expect me – and asked her to please not return. Ultrasound proved quickly that Anna was fine – it was just too early to easily catch her heartbeat via Doppler – and as I checked out, I calmly requested an appointment on a day when that Nurse Practitioner would not be involved in my care. Then I went to the bathroom and cried with relief – and nearly puked from the release of the greatest fear I'd ever felt.
The second incident – the "last straw" – the OB reviewed my ultrasound and said, "it looks like there's a problem at the insertion point of the baby's umbilical cord." When I asked for clarification, she said, "well, it could be that there's a restriction and it looks like her belly button may not be centered, but rather a few inches low and to the left."
What the heck? Not "it could be, but probably isn't" or "it looks like, but I could be wrong."
So they sent me elsewhere for a 4D ultrasound at a specialist's office – days later – and I was a mess for days waiting. Needless to say, there was again no issue and I'd been put in a panic over nothing.
It thus became clear to us that our baby's health and my own were playing second fiddle to the star of the show – which was the practice's insurance policy. Let me be clear – I'd been on daily medication to treat general anxiety disorder before becoming pregnant, and had been for a long time. I was advised to discontinue the drug (Celexa) as soon as my pregnancy was discovered. I soon found that I no longer needed it – I guess the hormones and good diet involved with my pregnancy had the same effect on me that the meds had. But the medical and pharmacological history was on my chart. It had been discussed at the first appointment. That office knew I was at risk for severe anxiety attacks – and had zero problem increasing that risk with their approach to my care. The appointment where the OB essentially misread (or had trouble reading) my ultrasound, but chose to make it seem as though her ignorance or mistake was actually a potentially life-threatening problem for my baby was the last time I stepped foot in that award-winning OB office (which I discovered later had a nearly 45% C-section rate – so bullet dodged.)
I didn't just go off the reservation. I did my homework. Years earlier, I'd read Spiritual Midwifery by Ina May Gaskin in anticipation of helping my best friend with her first birth. She had chosen to birth at home with a midwife – and I at first thought she was nuts. She gave me Ina May's book to read and told me to chill out. I read the book. I didn't really chill out. But I was there with her that day from about 6am until her firstborn came into the world that afternoon, and found that I was forever changed by the experience. I also attended her second birth, a water birth at home with an attendant CPM. I still tell people that watching my friend reach into the water and "catch" her own baby – bringing the sweet little girl up from the water where she locked eyes with her Mama for the first time – was at that time the most powerful moment of my life.
At 24 weeks pregnant, knowing I was totally healthy and so was my baby, I decided to let go of the fear and embrace my own ability to birth on my terms, no one else's. From that day, the anxiety melted away, the unnecessary worry wrought by others ceased, and I started down the path to a normal, natural, woman-centered birth for myself and my baby.
It helped having a supportive husband who agreed with my decision. It also helped that I quickly bonded with a CPM who reminded me so much of my friend – and who gave me Ina May's Guide To Childbirth to read on my first visit.
On that same visit, my husband and I sat with the actual care provider who would be delivering our child for about an hour and a half. She reviewed the records the OB's office had (grudgingly – and with a petty $20 records fee tacked on) released. She took my blood pressure, listened to Anna's heartbeat with a Doppler device (just like the one the nurse practitioner had so "famously" been unable to use,) did an external palpitation of my belly and took measurements.
We spent more time with the primary care provider on that first visit than we did with the OB over the course of 24 weeks.
For the next several weeks, we met with our CPM once every month. Each visit lasted about an hour. At 36 weeks, we started meeting her every 2 weeks. At 38 weeks, she also stopped by our house to get the lay of the land. She provided us with a list of supplies to have ready:
- A baby t-shirt with shoulder snaps, pants, a gown, socks and a cap
- An infant cloth diaper (a few) and pins
- Soft receiving blankets
- Plenty of clean towels and wash cloths
- 2 sets of clean bed sheets
- 2 fleece-backed vinyl table cloths to use under the bed sheets
- Rubbing alcohol and peroxide
- Flashlights and extra batteries
- Olive oil
- A package or 2 of incontinence pads (like puppy pads only bigger)
- Several large garbage bags and a clean trash can prepared with a bag
- A clean laundry hamper lined with a large trash bag
- A large plastic mixing bowl with a lid
And some less-exciting items:
That's what I recall off the top of my head. It was a fun trip to Target, I remember that. Everything put together and clearly labeled in easily accessible boxes. The idea was to have everything to hand for the midwife in case I would be unable to give directions.
It was exciting. I sat up late every night reading birth stories. I knew Anna was head down going into week 39, but she was "sunny side up" – face up – rather than face down. A couple of days before my due date, I sat up until nearly dawn reading about things to do to encourage her to flip around.
When I finally dragged myself away from the computer for the night and made my way to bed, I felt a twinge – like a menstrual cramp – that was sort of like the Braxton Hicks contractions I'd been having, and at the same time, completely unlike them. A trip to the bathroom and I discovered the first sign of true labor – the horribly-named "bloody show" that I'd been looking for at every bathroom trip for weeks.
Yep, after being awake for nearly 20 hours already, my labor was starting at 5:00am on November 30, 2008 – three days "early" by the OB's original estimation. All the complaining about how little sleep I'd been getting for weeks finally culminated in the hardest day of my life starting off with zero hours of sleep the night before. I did what any sane person going into labor would do. I continued on to bed…
Tune in next time for our continuing story. Will our hero get some sleep? Does she manage to beat the odds and deliver a baby without medical intervention? Will a baby born naturally at home without an obstetrician present have any hope for survival? And most importantly – will the baby's father pass out cold in the bedroom floor?
All this and more to follow. Spoiler alert! Our story has an incredibly happy ending. As four-year-old Anna would say, "duh!"

More people on Oahu now work for Walmart than Hawaiian Electric or Bank of Hawaii.
On Kauai, Walmart is the fifth-largest private employer, topped by only the Hyatt Poipu, the contractor that runs the PMRF Naval Base, Wilcox Hospital and Princeville Resort.
On the Big Island, Walmart is No. 2. More Big Island people work at Walmart than at KTA stores, Four Seasons or the Mauna Lani.
Pacific Business News released its annual Book of Lists in December. The comprehensive research guide to Hawaii business tells a fascinating tale about Hawaii's economy. It's no surprise that agriculture and manufacturing are not major employers in the islands. It's no surprise that the No. 1 employer is the government. Still, the degree to which Walmart has come to dominate the retail scene in only 18 years in Hawaii is startling. Here, where we have fertile soil, reliable rain, year-round sun and plenty of mouths to feed, we instead turn to Walmart to feed, clothe and employ us.
This is true, of course, of the entire United States. Next to the federal government, the largest employer in America is Walmart. Walmart is the largest employer in Mexico and much of Latin America, as well.
But in the islands, where we like to think of ourselves as influenced by all of the Pacific, one would hope we'd have more intriguing ways to put people to work. Like maybe making something or growing something.
That famous "dollar bill" local TV commercial of the 1980s, if revisited today, might show a Walmart employee cashing a paycheck and then bringing that dollar right back to Walmart to buy cereal in an endless closed loop.
The PBN Book of Lists shows Walmart employing 3,470 people statewide. To compare, Hawaiian Airlines has 3,800 employees in Hawaii. There are almost as many people wearing the blue smocks and stocking shelves as there are keeping all those daily flights safe and on time.
Also in the top 10 of private Hawaii employers is Securitas, which provides contract security services. Sugar and pineapple and even tourism have given way to discount stores and security guards. This is Hawaii in 2011. What are we supposed to show the tourists? We already know the answer. They buy their made-in-China Hawaii souvenirs at Walmart and have them inspected by security guards at the airport.
Some of the old-timers will remember when groceries could be bought on credit at the company store. Even up to the 1960s, some Hawaii plantations and ranches ran general stores where workers and their families could get things like a pound of flour, a can of coffee or a gallon of kerosene on credit against their monthly pay.
Now the company store is the entire company.

In his latest book, David & Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants, Malcolm Gladwell once again combines psychology, business and science to impart powerful life lessons. At a glance, David & Goliath seems like a narrative about small versus big, start-up entrepreneur against established big business, but the lesson is actually much broader. This book is about how to win against all odds. It's about overcoming adversity. More than that, David & Goliath makes the case that adversity breeds the very resilience, perseverance, creativity and tenacity that facilitate success. Of course, this is exactly why the message is so relevant for sales professionals.
All of Gladwell's books (Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw) are compelling because they challenge us to rethink the way we view the world around us. In David & Goliath, Gladwell asks readers to consider what an "advantage" is. He shares with us examples both historic and current to illustrate how much of what is important and great in this world arose from hardship and adversity. His point? The power of sheer effort combined with the power of the spirit (heart, soul and imagination) is equal to or greater than any material advantage.
Who among us has not gone into a sales situation as the underdog? Remember that in every sales situation you have a strategic advantage. The key is to figure out what the advantage is, and then leverage it to its full potential. Take the time to assess your competitor's strategic advantage and work to neutralize it. Above all, make sure you are fully engaging the advantage of your own motivation, perseverance, excitement, imagination, commitment and insight. These are tantamount to David's rock and sling.

Superior Saw
This saw is the clear choice of wire saws. It will break on you eventually but that's the nature of the wire saw. It has very rust resistant properties and the rings do swivel to aid in the sawing process. If you are looking for a longer lasting alternative look for a chain-like saw.
- September 20, 2011
The wire saw is a good idea on paper but does not live up to its description. I found it hard to just cut a 1/4 inch of white pine, a soft wood. Spend a few extra bucks and get the pocket chainsaw. Much better investment.

No Bad, But Not Great
I have used these for years and they are not very good. They do work well in a pinch, but trying to cut anything of size results in breaking the wire. Yes I know that its not really designed to cut branches of size, but some times you don't have a choice. Like I said Not Bad, But Not Good Either
- April 22, 2008
Cuts well but it's hard to coil up. It's useful in the bush
- April 1, 2008
great hard to coil up again
- July 11, 2007
great, but...
while the saw itself works great for cutting just about anything, it comes coiled up, so when you go to cut something it will be fighting to return to its coiled position.i realize that this is a problem with anything metal, but it still keeps it from getting a perfect score. also, it is hard to keep perfectly coiled for transportation, you will have to weave it in and out of itself to get it to stick. overall though, a great buy for six bucks.

Tri-County all-star football game boasts local flavor
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Each year, some of the top high school graduates from Fayette, Westmoreland, Washington, Greene and Allegheny counties suit up and represent their schools one last time as part of the annual Tri-County Football Coaches Association BeeGraphix Football Classic.
This year, the game will be played at 7 p.m. Saturday at Southmoreland.
Nine players representing Southmoreland, Frazier, Laurel Highlands and Uniontown will play in the game. Plus, longtime Uniontown coach John Fortugna will be inducted into the TCFCA Hall of Fame.
"It's a great honor and I wasn't expecting it," Fortugna said. "It's probably one of the highest honors I've received in a long time."
Fortugna has been a football coach for 31 years, including the last 19 years as head coach of the Red Raiders. In those 19 seasons, 10 of his teams qualified for the WPIAL playoffs. His 2001 squad finished with a 10-0 regular-season record and a Keystone Conference championship. In 2009, Fortugna's team advanced to the second round of the WPIAL playoffs, marking the first time in 40 seasons that a Uniontown football team had advanced past the first round. Fortugna has coached 12 Division I players and numerous Division II and Division III players.
"You are only as good as the players you have, and I have been blessed to have had so many great kids," Fortugna said.
Fortugna also thanked district officials and administrators for supporting him over the years.
"In 19 years, we've had some ups and downs, but they've always supported me," Fortugna said.
Two of Fortugna's former players, defensive back/punter Jonathan Hager and wide receiver/defensive end Jucqui Taylor, will play in the game. Taylor will be attending Bethany College and Hager will continue his education at Waynesburg University.
Hager and Taylor will play on the South Squad, as will three Laurel Highlands graduates, defensive end Xavier Daniels, wide receiver/defensive back Joe Pegg and guard George Teslovich.
Teslovich will attend college at Washington (Mo.) and Daniels will further his education at Bethany.
Pegg's future plans are undecided.
Four local players will compete for the North Squad — two Frazier graduates, wide receiver/defensive back Jaime Fell and lineman Justin Kulwicki, and two Southmoreland graduates, running back Tyler Ramsey and offensive lineman Jacob McNeice.
Fell will be attending Juniata in the fall, and Kulwicki will be going to Washington & Jefferson.
"It's exciting for them to be playing in this game," Frazier coach Mike Steeber said.
McNeice will be attending Pittsburgh Technical Institute, and Ramsey's future plans are undecided.
For the Southmoreland graduates, having the opportunity to play on their home field once again is an added bonus.
"It's definitely an honor to be chosen for an all-star game," Ramsey said. "And to play the game at home, you couldn't ask for anything more."
McNeice added: "I can't think of anything better. To play an all-star game and to play it at home makes you want to get that win even more. I couldn't ask for a better setting for my last game."
All players picked to participate in the game are chosen by coaches within the Tri-County Football Coaches Association.

AUSTIN (January 6, 2013)--At least $26,000 is missing from a Texas holiday charity that's now under investigation, officials said.
Last month, the Attorney General's Office filed a lawsuit alleging misconduct by Christmas Bureau of Austin and Travis County officials and a judge froze the nonprofit's assets while the investigation continues.
The Christmas Bureau works with an Austin police program, Blue Santa, to provide holiday gifts to needy families.
A criminal background check was never done on the organization's president, Shon Washington, who had three theft convictions before being hired.
He's now jailed on unrelated drug charges.
He hasn't been charged with anything connected to the possible theft.
The Christmas Bureau isn't an official Texas charity because it never filed the appropriate paperwork with the Secretary of State's Office.

Surgical procedures
Surgery is often the best option for a variety of colorectal conditions. At all of its campuses, Aria offers traditional forms of open surgery, performed by experienced, board-certified surgeons. But more recently developed forms of surgery that are minimally invasive and use a laparoscopic approach offer the advantages of small incisions, less pain, early discharge, and faster return to normal activities. Specialists can
treat a variety of colorectal conditions with these newer types of procedures:
• polyps
• inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

December 1, 2015
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Sen. Bill Ketron has delayed a final committee vote on supermarket wine so he can rewrite the bill to keep cigarettes from being sold in liquor stores.
The Murfreesboro Republican said Tuesday that he still intends to move the bill to hold local referendums on whether to allow wine sales in grocery and convenience stores through the Senate Finance Committee as early as next week, but that he would then put the measure on hold before receiving a full floor vote.
The House version of the bill surprisingly failed in the Local Government Committee last week. Proponents hope the measure could be revived this year or next.
Under current law, supermarkets can't sell any alcohol stronger than beer, while package stores can't sell anything other than wine, liquor and lottery tickets.

Low-Dose CT Scan Screening Service for Lung Cancer
Find lung cancers early when they may be more treatable
A recent National Study of Lung Cancer from the National Institute of Health found that screening for lung cancer using low-dose chest CT scan can lower the chances of dying from lung cancer by 20%.
Request an appointment online
or call 888-FOX-CHASE (1-888-369-2427).
What Will I Need to Do?
Since a single CT scan is not enough to diagnose lung cancer, you will have a CT scan each year for three years.
What are the benefits?
The possible benefit of taking part in screening is finding a lung cancer before you have any symptoms. At that point, the tumor might still be treatable and possible curable.
What are the risks?
What is a Low-Dose CT Scan?
A Computed Tomography scan (CT scan, also called a CAT scan) uses computer-controlled X-rays to create 3-dimensional images of the body. A Low-Dose CT Scan uses a minimal amount of radiation.
How much preparation is needed?
None. Since this is a scan of the lungs, all that is required is to lay down. The whole procedure takes about 15 minutes.
The risks of taking part could include:
- Anxiety caused by abnormal findings
- Finding of some other disease
- Having more and possibly unneeded radiation
What are the costs?
- Screening for lung cancer may or may not be covered by your health plan.
- If it is covered, you will be responsible for any co-pays and deductibles under the terms of your insurance.
- If it is not, the fee is $300. This fee covers you first CT scan and visit with the health care provider for lung screning only.
- If your first CT scan shows something suspicious, more tests and treatments may be covered by your health plan.
- You receive two more yearly CT scans and visits at $200 each year (unless a cancer is found).
What is the Purpose of This Screening Service?
A recent National Study of Lung Cancer from the National Institute of Health found that screening for lung cancer using low-dose chest CT scan can lower the chances of dying from lung cancer by 20%.
The study was with smokers or past smokers ages 55 to 79 who smoked at least one pack of cigarettes a day fo at least 30 years (30 pack/years). About 200 out of 1,000 people screened during a three-year period had abnormal (not normal) CT scans. After more studies, lung cancer was found in about 30 of those 300 people.
This means about 270 out of 1,000 screened people (270/1000) had false positive findings. In other words, something abnormal was found that needed follow up, but was not cancer. For some of these people, that may have led to tests or treatments that weren't needed and had certain risks.
The whole study called for at least three CT scans at certain time points. This is because a single CT scan is not enough to diagnose lung cancer. The goal of this program is to help find lung cancers early when they may be more treatable.
New patients can request an appointment online or call 888-FOX-CHASE.

Rivonia judgment 'unfortunate'Comment on this story
Bloemfontein - The education advocacy group Equal Education (EE) hopes a recent Supreme Court of Appeal decision on school capacity will be overturned, it said on Monday.
The SCA found that the Gauteng government's instruction to the Rivonia primary school to admit a pupil contrary to the school's admission policy and the admission of the child were unlawful.
The judgment overturned a high court decision which held that the overall authority to determine school capacity was that of provincial education departments.
EE, the Centre for Child Law and the Legal Resources Centre were amicus curiae - friends of the court - in the appeal case.
The SCA held that the governing body of a public school had the authority to decide capacity as part of its admissions policy under the SA Schools Act.
The finding was hailed as a victory for school governing bodies.
However, EE said it believed the governance of school admissions had to remain primarily in the public domain.
It could not be entirely in the hands of individual schools, which had a narrow interest.
EE felt the law had to and did support access to well-resourced public schools, while work continued to bring most other public schools to acceptable levels. It felt the SCA erred in this respect of its findings.
The three advocacy groups indicated they would again support, as amicus curiae, a challenge in the Constitutional Court, if the Gauteng education department sought leave to appeal.

|An event-specific DNA microarray to identify genetically modified organisms in processed foods.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20438128 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|We developed an event-specific DNA microarray system to identify 19 genetically modified organisms (GMOs), including two GM soybeans (GTS-40-3-2 and A2704-12), thirteen GM maizes (Bt176, Bt11, MON810, MON863, NK603, GA21, T25, TC1507, Bt10, DAS59122-7, TC6275, MIR604, and LY038), three GM canolas (GT73, MS8xRF3, and T45), and one GM cotton (LLcotton25). The microarray included 27 oligonucleotide probes optimized to identify endogenous reference targets, event-specific targets, screening targets (35S promoter and nos terminator), and an internal target (18S rRNA gene). Thirty-seven maize-containing food products purchased from South Korean and US markets were tested for the presence of GM maize using this microarray system. Thirteen GM maize events were simultaneously detected using multiplex PCR coupled with microarray on a single chip, at a limit of detection of approximately 0.5%. Using the system described here, we detected GM maize in 11 of the 37 food samples tested. These results suggest that an event-specific DNA microarray system can reliably detect GMOs in processed foods.

Hands out, dude
Ruidoso Patrol Officer Tillman Freeman and Sgt. Mike Weaver responded to Motel 6 on U.S. 70 May 3 for a report of a possible narcotics exchange.
While Weaver spoke with the driver Freeman talked to the passenger and reported Joshua Hernandez, 17, of Alto had slurred speech and appeared nervous.
Freeman removed Hernandez and another passenger from the vehicle and Weaver ordered Hernandez several times to take his hands from his pockets. When Hernandez failed to take his hands from his pockets, Freeman grabbed his hands, which were still in his pockets, and placed him against a retaining wall.
Freeman searched Hernandez for weapons and then had him sit on the curb. When Freeman asked Hernandez for his ID Hernandez said he did not have his wallet on him. Freeman pointed out Hernandez's wallet on the curb between his legs.
Hernandez admitted to Freeman that he had two beers, then changed that to three beers and said he was on probation.
The other passenger in the vehicle told Freeman they were in the parking lot to buy marijuana but did not say who they were buying it from. Hernandez said the same thing as Freeman transported him to the Ruidoso Police Department.
Juvenile Probation Officer Dennis Gallegos authorized Freeman to release Hernandez to his grandparents, his legal guardians.
Price slashing
Ruidoso Patrol Officer Jon Lund responded to the 500 block of Mechem May 6 for a report of criminal damage to a vehicle.
The victim said the Jeep was for sale and someone had slashed one of the tires overnight.
Peep hole
Lund responded to the 1700 block of Sudderth Drive May 6 for a report of criminal damage to property.
The store manager reported he noticed a hole in the window of the business when he arrived for work that morning.
The window was valued at $500.
Bad Samaritans
Ruidoso Downs Patrol Officer Tim Winrow responded to Walmart May 6 at 6:03 p.m. for a report of a lost or stolen purse.
A 72-year-old customer reported she had lost her purse while shopping.
Winrow reviewed the store video and observed the woman leave her purse in a cart after loading her items into her car. She then pushed the cart to the front of the row and left it with the purse still in the cart. On the video Winrow then saw a man point the purse out to a woman and the woman took the purse and entered the store.
A Walmart employee found the purse later in the front bathroom of the store.
The man and woman who found the purse went shopping and purchased items with a credit card and cash. Winrow is working on identifying the couple.
Open up
Ruidoso Patrol Sgt. Lawrence Chavez responded to the 200 block of Keys May 8 for a report of criminal damage to a home.
An employee of a realty company had arrived at the home to prepare it for the residents arrival and found a window broken. Chavez found pry marks on the window sill but determined nothing was missing from the home.
Temporary home
Chavez responded to the 200 block of Country Club for a report of breaking and entering May 8.
A neighbor reported the door open and when she went inside she found several things missing.
Chavez found the screen door cut where the door latch was and the rear door to the residence kicked open. Chavez reported that once the person entered the home they took up residence, making a bed and sleeping in it, using candles for light, transporting water inside to flush the toilets and leaving three pairs of denim pants hanging on a banister. Chavez reported they seem to have been living in the house for some time and seemed to have left in a hurry.
Nothing appeared to have been stolen.
Four too many
Ruidoso Downs Patrol Officer Tom Gavin responded to a report of a possible drunk driver on U.S. 70 in the vicinity of the police department at 1:07 a.m. May 10.
The reporting party notified dispatch that the vehicle, which was westbound, made an illegal U-turn and was eastbound. Gavin departed the police department to look for the vehicle. At mile marker 264, Gavin saw the vehicle appear to go off the side of the road and come back on. As Gavin approached the vehicle with emergency lights and siren on, he said the driver appeared to be unaware that he was there and continued to drive east bound, drifting left of center into the west bound lanes of the highway.
When the vehicle did stop, Gavin approached and saw several open beer containers in the console and more unopened cans strewn about the vehicle. Gavin said the driver reeked of alcohol and vomit and he could clearly see that she had vomited on herself. She told Gavin she had four beers and had dropped off the other drinkers.
Patrol Officer April Payan arrived to assist and the officers had Margaret Jimenez, 44, of Las Cruces, perform field sobriety tests.
After Gavin took Jimenez to the police department, Payan conducted an inventory of the vehicle for it to be towed. She found a "pot grinder" that smelled of marijuana in the console.
Jimenez was charged with DWI, second offense, possession of drug paraphernalia, failure to maintain traffic lane, open container and possession of a controlled substance.
Jimenez posted a $6,000 bond and was released.
Sidewall hater
Ruidoso Patrol Officer Curtis Rogers responded to the Cherokee Mobile Home Park on Pinecrest for a report of criminal damage to property May 10.
The victim said someone had punctured two tires on his vehicle parked in the front of his residence. Rogers reported locating several holes in the sidewalls of the tires.
Too much to drunk
Gavin responded to Walmart at 7:57 p.m. May 10 for a report of a fight in progress.
When he arrived he saw a man squared off in a defensive stance with two store managers on the east side of the store. Gavin said the man smelled heavily of alcohol and was unsteady on his feet. The man was cooperative and placed his hands behind his back when Gavin asked so he could be detained.
One of the store employees told Gavin that the man had been in a loud verbal and possibly physical confrontation with another store customer, who remains unidentified.
When Gavin arrived at the Ruidoso Downs Police Department the man became uncooperative and pulled away as Gavin attempted to lead him into the station. He refused to give Gavin any personal information. Gavin placed him in a holding cell without being processed in order to allow him to sober up.
The following morning Patrol Officer Martin Valenzuela checked on the man and found him sober and very cooperative. He identified himself at Everrett Hammontre, 55.
Hammontre was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting, evading or obstructing an officer and transported to Lincoln County Detention Center.
Here's your signal
Ruidoso Patrol Cpl. Steve Corbin stopped a vehicle for failing to use turn signals and an inoperable license plate lamp at 11:12 p.m. May 11.
Corbin reports the driver had red and glassy eyes and when he asked the driver what caused his eyes to be red and glassy Jermiah Batchelor, 28, of Alamogordo, said he had been up for a while and had recently helped his friend with a sanding project.
Corbin noticed a glass jar on the floorboard of the car that contained a small amount of green leafy substance. When asked about it, a couple of times, Batchelor gave Corbin a black case containing a pipe commonly used to smoke marijuana and admitted having smoked marijuana about an hour and a half prior to being stopped.
Corbin issued Batchelor a non-traffic citation for possession of drug paraphernalia and a traffic citation for defective license plate lamps.
By the way ...
Ruidoso Patrol Officer Wallace Downs stopped a Jeep for only having one working tail lamp and cited the driver for two traffic violations and issued a verbal warning May 13 at Cedar Creek and Mechem.
After issuing the citations and informing the driver she was free to go, Downs asked the driver how much marijuana they had in the car. He had smelled marijuana while writing the citations. The driver didn't answer but the passenger spoke up and said they had marijuana in the car.
After removing both people from the car, Downs asked for permission to search the vehicle and both consented.
The passenger, Wallace Rice, 20, of Mescalero said he had put the marijuana in the driver's purse and a metal smoking pipe in the passenger side door well.
Downs issued Rice a non-traffic citation for possession of marijuana.

DJ Harper, RB, Boise State
At one point, Doug Martin was playing defense because of DJ Harper. The biggest red flag (and it's a big one) is two ACL tears.
But he's played back to back healthy seasons, and he rushed for over 1,000 yards this year.
He ran a 4.52, put up 23 reps, and FWIW he has the biggest hands of any RB.
Senior Highlights
Reminds me of Jordan Todman.

Is it too much to ask?
We walk in and ask "Do you have chocolate?" and they reply...."Nope." No reasons. No excuses. No idea when it's gonna be fixed. The kid behind the counter just blankly stares as we whine and complain about the lack of chocolate ice cream.
Joe and I went there a week or so ago and by pure luck, the chocolate was working! We both got chocolate cones with sprinkles. Of course, Emma just happened to be working late that night and was not with us for the ONE night they had chocolate.
Last night we took a ride over to the DQ. Em asked the kid behind the counter as she usually does, "Do you have chocolate?"....and they DID. Bingo!
And as we stood there waiting for our order and the store got more crowded.....
the kid yelled over to Emma, "Hey! Chocolate just broke. Vanilla okay?" And the entire store turned to see Em's disappointed face as she agreed to the vanilla.
No. We want chocolate! arrrrggghhhhh.

That's really bad. You'd think they'd make it a priority. Of course, my recent experience at Staples where they did not care one little bit that I wanted to spend $200 there, but they couldn't accommodate me indicates that no one cares very much.

What We Can Learn From NYC's Latest Energy and Water Benchmarking Data
Katie Weeks / ECOBUILDING pulse / September 27, 2013
While New York City buildings are responsible for 74 percent of citywide greenhouse gas emissions, 94 percent of total electricity use, and 85 percent of potable water consumption in the city, these buildings are making progress on reducing their energy use, according to new data released by the office of Mayor Michael Bloomberg this week in the New York City Local Law 84 Benchmarking Report. Local Law 84 (LL84) requires all privately owned properties over 50,000 square feet and multiple buildings with a combined gross floor areas of more than 100,000 square feet to annual measure and report their energy and water use data to the city.
The report shows that individual market sectors have unique energy and water needs, and collecting data such as this is just the beginning of a longer-term shift to resource consumption not only being reduced but also helping to drive the market itself.
The city's 2012 data, which represents more than 24,000 buildings and for the first time includes 9,000 multifamily properties, shows reductions in energy use in the past 10 months and, when combined with 2011 data released last fall, provides the first year-to-year analysis of such data. It is the largest collection of benchmarking metrics gathered for a single jurisdiction in the U.S. The goal of publicizing such a collection is to encourage widespread understanding of challenges and potential improvements in resource consumption, as well as to better encourage building users to respond to their buildings' use. "By tracking and disclosing this information on building energy performance, we can better understand the problem and how to fix it.

The Fly Route
Great news from the Eudora cross country team: Brittney Graff wasn't the only one possessed above and beyond picture organizing abilities.
The Eudora girls team won its first race in more than a year Thursday, topping a mediocre field of current and former Frontier League members with solid races all around.
Afterward, as their own way of celebrating, both the boys and the girls teams gathered for pictures both normal and out there. (It should be noted the team may not have been celebrating with the aforementioned pictures -- they take them pretty much as long as no one passes out on the course requiring serious medical attention, regardless of the race's results.)
There was something to celebrate, however. Eudora didn't tangle with its more recent menacing goliaths, Baldwin and De Soto, but the team ran well even though it was evident the runners didn't feel very good.
The course in Wellsville was different, encompassing more hairpin turns and fewer long straight-aways than the most annoying of racing video games.
Eudora ran it expertly, however -- both the boys and the girls. It happened despite what was an obviously hard week of work for the team.
Eudora coach Paul Boone -- a fine picture organizer in his own right -- always talks about the big picture, especially at this point, in the early and middle stages of a season.
That the Cardinals were thinking big was evident.
Emily Ballock dug deep to get first place, but couldn't outlast her top challenger, looking positively zapped after a hard week of workouts that didn't let up for the Wellsville race.
The finish was similar nearly everywhere else -- good, strong races were capped by exhausted, juice-less finishes.
Tantalizing Eudora freshman Juan Ramirez even said he was told to hold off a little down the final stretch.
It's not about winning in September for Boone -- its about running well in October. He's obviously got another squad that can do just that, too.
Eudora isn't overly deep again this season -- they haven't been blessed there in recent years. The girls perhaps present as strong of a front five as they did a year ago, however.
That seems a little insane -- Graff was one of the best runners in the state over the last few years and in school history. This year's squad is even a little deeper than last year's, plus a healthy Emily Ballock is running more like the star of track season than the middle-of-the-pack threat she was to this point in her cross country career. Liz Hoese and Lauren Colman have grown into dependable runners and emotional leaders and together, they're helping piece together a great season.
The boys too, unexpectedly, seem stronger than a year ago, as far as the team is concerned. The Cardinals could send two runners to state -- freshmen Ramirez and Ivan Espinosa -- and sophomores Zac Courter and John Hadl were both considerably better at Wellsville than they were last year, making for a little less power at the top of the lineup, but a stronger team throughout.
It all means someone needs to keep their digital camera charged up.

First cyclone of 2014 looms on the horizon
- From: NT News
- January 05, 2014
CYCLONE watchers predict the first cyclone in the Coral Sea this season may form off the Queensland coast in the next 10 days.
Forecasters expect up to four cyclones in the Coral Sea - one likely to be severe with very destructive winds above 165km/h with another predicted to cross the Queensland coast - before the end of March.
Long-range modelling shows the possibility of the first tropical low forming in the northern Coral Sea by mid-January.
"Certainly a cyclone in January is not out of the question," Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Lauren Murphy said.
"There is such great uncertainty with cyclones in the short term. There are no lows and no signs of a cyclone forming yet.
"The monsoon trough is well north of Australia but when it moves south that is when we will see a focal point when a tropical low can develop into a cyclone."
As Australia endured its hottest year on record in 2013, sea surfaces temperatures around the nation's coastline were also "unusually warm throughout the year", said the latest BoM Annual Climate Statement.
As of the end of November, global sea temperatures were 0.49C above average.

Cyclone and flooding rains will be upon us before weather forecasters wake up to what is happening. Nature has been telling us for some time of these events and is a far more reliable predictor than all the supposed modern technology set up to give us warnings.

With all their fancy equipment, they very rarely get it right. So much easier to go outside and look at the sky. Besides, it is the time of year for these things to happen.

[Site editor's note: The following is an excerpt from the new Disinformation title 50 Things You're Not Supposed To Know: Religion, authored by Daniele Bolelli.]
Most Westerners who become fascinated with Zen Buddhism are intrigued with its reputation as an anti-authoritarian, freedom-loving, individualistic tradition. Books by excellent writers like Alan Watts popularized an image of Zen as a very relaxed, go-with-the-flow type of religion. But even a brief visit to a typical Zen temple is enough to make us painfully aware of the difference between hype and reality. Life in real Zen temples, in fact, is often so structured, regimented and heavily regulated as to quickly dispel the romanticism created by much of the literature about it. Far from being a hippie rendition of Buddhism, Zen discipleship can be demanding and severe.
But sometimes even misguided stereotypes are born from seeds of truth. Enter 15th century Japanese monk Ikkyu Sojun, who was truly as free, wild and allergic to authorities as advertised.… Read the rest

Foti Chiropractic of Wauwatosa makes wishes come true
Business fundraises for Make-A-Wish foundation
Raising $10,000 in one year may seem like a lofty goal, but for Foti Chiropractic, it's looking like a breeze.
One June 17, the Wauwatosa-based chiropractic office raised $2,700 in one day by selling T-shirts and $10 spinal adjustments for its Make-A-Wish campaign.
Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The program granted 340 wishes in 2013 alone.
Foti Chiropractic, a family-owned and operated company, has now raised $7,560 to date to benefit Ella, a 5-year-old in Germantown living with cystic fibrosis. Her wish was to vacation to Disney World with her family in Orlando, Florida. Ella will receive $5,000 for her trip.
The remaining $5,000 of Foti Chiropractic's fundraising will benefit another "wish kid" later this year.
"To those that are given much, give back," said David Foti, owner and chiropractor.
"It's important to give back to the community; we have so much to offer," added Felicia Toy, who is a chiropractor and also Foti's daughter.
Toy joined her father's business in 2007, when he moved his office from North 59th Street and West North Avenue to its current location at 11717 W. North Ave. Foti has been in business for 36 years.
The walls of the office are lined with Make-A-Wish pledges from community members — some who wrote donations and others who paid $40 for a screening, which includes a basic exam and an X-ray.
"It gives a lot of people a chance to see if chiropractic care can help them," said Toy. "Once they hear about (Make-A-Wish), they feel more comfortable with our office, especially when they hear how much we've already raised."
Last year, Foti Chiropractic raised $10,000 to benefit a child who wished for a trip to Maui.
Foti Chiropractic has often contributed to charities, such as the Ronald McDonald House and Habitat for Humanity. Make-A-Wish allowed the business to not only affiliate with a reputable foundation but also donate one lump sum at the end of the year.
Fundraising has also helped expose community members to chiropractic care.
Foti Chiropractic has sold its $40 screenings, with all proceeds going toward Make-A-Wish fundraising, to the general public at health fairs, farmers markets — any place where vendors can rent a booth. Screenings led to the acquisition of 11 new clients last month, Foti said, even though the majority of his business spreads by word-of-mouth.
"We want people to be under chiropractic care and to give back," Foti said. "And if that gives them an opportunity, it's a win-win situation."

Reliable Septic & Sewer seeks to continue operating a treatment plant on their property.
Neighbors say the business produces foul odors.
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - "It's bad, it's very bad."
That's how some people who live nearby describe the smell that, they say, comes from Reliable Septic and Sewer just outside of Pinellas Park in unincorporated Pinellas County.
"I've got grandchildren. They can't play outside because of the stench," another woman said.
Two years ago, Reliable began operating a FOG processing plant on the site. F-O-G is fat, oil and grease. Neighbors say, whatever the source is, the odor can be overwhelming.
"The smell, it just kept getting worse and worse throughout the weeks and everything. My family and I, we didn't even want to be outside," recalled Arthur Nagle, who can see the plant from his backyard.
Pinellas County told Reliable they needed a different class of zoning in order to continue operating the plant. Three months ago, the Pinellas County Local Planning Agency, after hearing from both sides, delayed a vote on the rezoning.
At the same time, the county issued a cease and desist order to the company until the issue was resolved. Reliable has challenged that order and has continued to operate. Today Reliable, and those who oppose the zoning change, appeared before the Planning Agency.
Kevin Hennessy, the attorney for Reliable, told the board, "They've been playing by the rules. They've been a positive business in this community handling a nasty business that very few people really want to do."
After ninety minutes of hearing from both sides, Lauralee Westine, a Planning Agency board member said, "I think there's a reason that there were no objections for thirty or forty years when the property was running as is.
Then all of a sudden the processing came in and that's when all of the sudden the problems and the objections started. So with that said, I would make a motion and look for a second for a motion to deny, but without prejudice."
The board unanimously denied recommending the zoning change request to the county commission. But the door is still open for Reliable to re-apply for the rezoning.

I am using an m8400f HP desktop. I have a set of Logitech speakers/sub and am using a TV/Monitor with built-in speakers.
My computer will occasionally register one or the other of the audio outputs, either the speakers or the monitor, but it is intermittent and unpredictable. In fact today the monitor played sound, but the speakers wouldn't, and in the process of getting the speakers to work, now neither will play. I do not often use headphones, but I tried those today to no avail.
Today I also went to RealTek's site and downloaded what I believe was a driver update for my soundcard, but I'm not 100% positive I have a RealTek card, the name just sounded familiar. I am unable to locate any setting in my Hardware Manager that will let me manipulate my sound card/drivers, it is though my computer isn't aware of any such cards. My little speaker icon in the taskbar shows a red X, not the mute kind, across it; when I open it to playback devices it currently shows nothing, although earlier it showed my monitor, speakers, and sound card. Like I said, it performs very intermittently, and I have not been able to figure out the cause.
I have searched through other forums, and have tried most everything short of opening my computer to look at my sound card. I do not know if it is integrated or may have a bad connection or what.
I would appreciate any insight.

I looked over the troubleshooting, but none of the symptoms seemed to match the on-again off-again nature I'm dealing with. I checked inside my tower today, as far as I can tell the sound "card" is integrated to the motherboard. All I can see are the ports for the speakers.
Posted 06 September 2012 - 07:27 AM
Most likely a port or cable is faulty if reinstalling the driver did not fix the problem.
Edited by jhayz, 06 September 2012 - 07:27 AM.
Posted 06 September 2012 - 01:17 PM
But would that account for why my PC won't even recognize any sound driver? And like I say, I'm using a TV monitor connected with an HDMI cable, plus my speakers; I would imagine with the redundancy in sound options, as long as my driver works, surely not both of the cables/ports are damaged?
I recently took advantage of my sound working to identify and update my driver; seemed to be the fix, but I booted up yesterday to no audio.

Is the video card for the desktop the GE Force 8500? The S/PDIF located for the card might be the missing link.

Mandan and Williston moved on, as West Fargo and Fargo's American Legion baseball seasons came to a close at the state Class A tournament at Bismarck's Municipal Ballpark on Friday.
Mandan first skirted past West Fargo 6-5, behind Aaron Janz's 3-for-4 performance at the plate. Janz drove in a run and scored a run, as Mandan posted 10 hits in all.
Steve Serr also had a solid day offensively for Mandan, going a perfect 2-for-2, scoring a run and driving in a run.
Starting pitcher Brett Bryan earned the win on the mound for Mandan, pitching 8 innings before Jordy Wenstrom came in to shut the door in the ninth. Kolby Schmidt shouldered the loss for West Fargo.
A four-run top of the third propelled Williston past Fargo 8-5 in the second game of the afternoon in Bismarck.
Fargo jumped out to an early 3-2 lead after one inning, but was unable to answer Williston's big third inning down the stretch. Starter Alex Hanson notched the win for Williston, striking out seven Fargo hitters over nine innings.
Cory Vinger went 2-for-4 at the plate for Williston, driving in 2 RBIs and scoring a run. Matt Wawers took the loss on the hill for Fargo.
The final game of the day between Minot and Bismarck was not finished by the time The Sun went to press. Mandan will face the loser of the Minot/Bismarck game today at 1 p.m., while Williston will take on the winner of the Minot/Bismarck game at 4 p.m.
