Somebody brushed off the old "Who's on First?" routine and it blared through the Les Murakami Stadium speakers.
It was appropriate, since there have been times this season when Abbott and Costello could've been mistaken for the University of Hawaii double play combination, and coach Mike Trapasso has had to continually juggle his lineup as we approach the midway point of the schedule and the start of WAC play.
It's been like a Jenga game, with the removal of one critical piece causing the entire thing to topple.
That, however, is not why UH lost four games to Cal State Fullerton over the weekend. The reasons for that would be the quality of play by the Titans especially two guys named Ramirez, Noe and Nick and a lack of clutch hitting on the part of the Rainbows.
Hawaii didn't kick these games away, so that's progress from the beginning of the season.
The Titans won the four games by a combined eight runs. UH was in it to the end in all of them, but failed to deliver the key hits.
Roughly two out of three times you don't hit your flush after the flop. Roughly two out of three times you don't get your two-out game-tying single. When things aren't going well, the odds are much worse than that in both endeavors.
"We're pitching our tails off," Trapasso said. "That makes every run meaningful and every mistake magnified tenfold. All you can do is keep playing; the tide will turn."
FULLERTON WAS MISSING eight suspended players, but this elite program is ultra deep. And UH didn't have Kolten Wong's bat for two games and shortstop/pitcher Jesse Moore for three.
When transfer pitcher Jake Floethe came in to close for the Titans yesterday, the Fresno Formula came to mind. Maybe you recall a few years ago when Floethe was a freshman for the Bulldogs; they basically used all their games leading up to the WAC and then half of the conference season as spring training. Then they got hot and won the College World Series.
Not that any team wants to or can do things that way. The Rainbows aren't likely on the road to Omaha, but they're not on the way to missing the WAC tournament, either. Their pitching depth means they'll be in every game once conference play begins next week against Sacramento State.
Wichita State this week? The Rainbows need Moore and Wong back in the lineup and on the field.
YOU WANT a set lineup, but sometimes you don't have a choice. When UH lost catcher David Peterson to his nursing of a lingering injury, it created a ripple effect in the batting order and the defensive alignment as Pi'ikea Kitamura and Wong were forced behind the plate more than Trapasso would've preferred.
But now that Garrett Champion has emerged and been playing pretty close to the level of his surname, that problem seemed to be solved. That is, until Wong and Moore both hurt their shoulders. When they're back at full speed to both play up the middle, all the pieces will be in place.
A couple of other key players have broken through, and although you wouldn't say they feasted on Fullerton pitching, they did manage a few healthy bites.
Center fielder and leadoff man Breland Almadova ripped a double into left yesterday to key UH's only productive rally. He also made some more nifty catches.
When told that dropping four, but all close ones, to Fullerton is a double-edged sword, Trapasso said, "Right now I just feel the sharp end."
At least he knows "Who's on First?" It's Michael Blake, a steady left-handed hitter who is solid in the field, too. And he throws gas when called to the mound.
Trapasso believes this team will eventually hit with men on base. The WAC pitching isn't anything close to Texas, Oregon or Fullerton, so it probably will.
Either way, the UH pitching staff deserves some support.

DinerTown is the city in which Flo, her friends and everyone of the dash series live and prosper. A recurring aspect of DinerTown is the several relocation of all the buildings and neighborhoods in each game.
OverviewStarting with the original diner dash, DinerTown was not seen a lot, you only see Flo's Diner and her other restaurants with several building outlines in the background. In Restaurant Rescue, DinerTown is expanded a lot more, showing new restaurants and the biggest corporation company in DinerTown: Big Corp. In Flo on the Go, DinerTown was expanded a tiny bit more to show several vacation spots and a train exit. Hometown Hero was not set in DinerTown but Flo's Hometown instead. In Boom! DinerTown was incredibly expanded, featuring more district neighborhoods and more people.
In spin offs, more and more locations of DinerTown were brought to light.
DinerTown itself is a very well off city, with many expensive buildings and divine palaces of eatery, the city is set in the way future where everything is alright and there appears to be no economic crisis, local residents all work medium to high paying jobs and careers, they also can afford to tip higher than $100 for a meal. Money is used in cents and dollars, which appear to have Mr. Big's face on them.
With a big city like DinerTown, there are going to be political upheavels, DinerTown is governed by Mayor Wimple and the local hothead Mr. Big has a standing contract that allows him the rights to any land within DinerTown that has been unused for 1 total week.
CommunityDinerTown is also known for it's friendly and active community, most of dinertown is made up of friend restaurant owners who serve and sizzle, and there are also many residents who are friendly. Local resident Flo frequently helps out the dinertown population. There are also the bad guys and not-so friendly people and they usually seek to capatilize and ruin other people's lives. A noticeable villain is the evil Grub Burger, a nasty corporation of food that is hellbent on taking over the lush, peacful DinerTown.
Like any big city, DinerTown has several districts, where the community come out to live their lives and careers. There is a subway connecting each district and roads.
Avenue FloThe most familiar neighborhood of the city, Avenue Flo(rida) is where the renowned Flo and her friends come together, there are also several other shops and businesses like Quinn's Wedding Planning Office and the Pet Spa where animals go to relax, there is also a lush park near the end of the district.
Squid Row
Squid Row is where the circus is at, there are also several businesses and restaurants located here. The area is in a constant active state. The area is also heavily industrial, several lines of factories populate the outline of this district.
Bistro BayBistro Bay is what makes DinerTown coastal, located near the ocean where there are beaches and water-related shops and an oceanic hotel for tourists, several boats and ships go out for vacation and fish catching. resident Flo also lives here and a very large store for children is located by bus ride.
Champagne FallsChampagne Falls is where the rich and social elite wander, with several rich styles of business, inquiry and shops, everyone is welcomed in this district and is the place where you need to go for fancy treatments.
Thyme Square
Thyme Square is a booming downtown neighborhood, during the day it is normally void of activiy and remains peaceful, but at night is when the lights go on and the sparkling beacons shine, thyme square is only heavily active at night and is where the most Hollywood oriented go. Big Corp stands tall and proud near the coast.
Yum Yum Square
Yum Yum Square is the most peaceful and scenic districts of the city, the peace is very good for all residents that don't enjoy noise. There is a park and children's playground located to the upperleft of the district and there is an Art Museum. Wilson's Daycare stands near the intersection.

President Barack Obama and family have returned to Washington, but his next visit to Hawaii may be sooner than the end-of-the-year holiday season.
The president is expected to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in mid-November. Leaders of several other countries will join Obama in Honolulu.
Obama arrived in Washington on Tuesday after a nearly two week vacation in Hawaii, where he was born and mostly raised. On his vacation, the president golfed several rounds, went to the beach, worked out and spent time with his friends and family.
On his Air Force One flight night back to the nation's capitol, Obama told reporters that he'll return for the APEC gathering.
He said, "That'll be a big event. Everybody's pretty excited about that."

Successful immune tolerance induction consisting of high-dose factor VIII rich in von Willebrand factor and pulsed intravenous immunoglobulin: a case report
Department of Hematology and Transfusion Medicine, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine of the Comenius University and University Hospital Martin, Kollarova 2, Martin 036 59, Slovakia
Journal of Medical Case Reports 2012, 6:350 doi:10.1186/1752-1947-6-350Published: 11 October 2012
The development of factor VIII inhibitors is a serious complication of replacement therapy in patients with congenital hemophilia A. Immune tolerance induction has been accepted as the only clinically proven treatment allowing antigen-specific tolerance to factor VIII. However, some of its issues, such as patient selection, timing, factor VIII dosing, use of immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory procedures, still remain the subject of debate.
Case presentation
A case of a 3-year-old Caucasian boy with severe congenital hemophilia A, intron 22 inversion of the F8 gene and high-titer inhibitor, who underwent an immune tolerance induction according to the modified Bonn regimen (high doses of plasma-derived factor VIII rich in von Willebrand factor and pulsed intravenous immunoglobulin) is presented. The treatment lasted for 13 months and led to the eradication of inhibitor.
Addition of intravenous immunoglobulin did not negatively affect the course of immune tolerance induction and led to the rapid eradication of factor VIII inhibitor.

With the amount of rad digitally distributed games in the PlayStation Vita's library, your system's home screen could be getting a little crowded. Well, after downloading the handheld's latest firmware update, you'll have a lot more room for all of those high-res bubbles. Another 400 of them to be exact, as software version 3.10 allows a total of 500 apps and games on the touch-based UI. What's more, Joystiq noticed the patch adds a memory card management feature that separates saved data based on what type of content created it. Bizarrely enough, the portable PlayStation didn't have an auto setting for daylight savings time before this either. Sony has also included a calendar app that syncs with your Google account, as well as a voice messaging system for sending quick soundbites to your Vita or PS4 owning-pals.

Hey, you're blurry!
Wait, you're actually fine, that's just the month of December moving way. too. fast.
Before we close out this crazy, beautiful year I thought it would be fun to look back and see some of the highlights. In case you missed them the first time around, here are the top 10 most popular posts on Mommypotamus for 2013.
(In order of LEAST to MOST popular)
#10: How To Make Non-Toxic Sunscreen
Did you know that sunscreens – even so-called "healthy" ones – can actually accelerate aging? It's true. Because I consider sunlight exposure to be a good thing, most days we skip sunscreen altogether and use antioxidants instead. However, on days we are going to be out much longer than usual here's what we use:

#9: Natural Remedies For A UTI

#8: Natural Remedies For A Fever

#7: Natural Remedies For Ear Infections
According to the lead author of the new American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for diagnosing ear infections, the medical community has contributed to the OVER-diagnosis of ear infections. Since even a legitimate ear infection is more likely to be viral in nature than bacterial, the common use of antibiotics to treat earaches may actually have the unintended effect of, um, CAUSING future ear infections!
Here are some natural remedies that may be beneficial while using the "wait and see" approach recommended by the AAP.

#6: The Real Cause Of Morning Sickness
Ahhh, morning sickness. The quintessential pregnancy experience in which a woman heaves a whole plate of eggs into her own hair.
We've come to expect is as a normal part of pregnancy, but is it?

#5: Sour Gummy Stars
Jackpot, mamas! If you've been looking for an easy "candy substitute" to take to playdates and birthday parties, look no further!
Rich in an essential nutrient for gorgeous skin, lustrous hair, and strong nails, these gummy stars also contain high quality protein and amino acids which increase metabolism and balance hormones.
Oh, and they only take five minutes hands-on time to make.

#4: Homemade Marshmallow Recipe
Though this recipe from Jenni at The Urban Poser was posted in November 2011 it continues to be a favorite. No need to ask why, of course – the answer is in the fluffy goodness right there –>

#3: Twenty-Five Tips To Make Healthy Eating Affordable
Morning show experts tell us they'll show us how to get $196 in groceries for $2.33, but take a look in the cart and you'll discover nothing but a toxic stew of food dye, hydrogenated fats, genetically modified ingredients and gender bending personal care products.
(Here's how to really save on REAL FOOD)
#2: The Oil Cleansing Method: A How-To Guide for Clear, Radiant Skin
Got acne? You might want to rub some oil on your face. Though it sounds counter-intuitive, certain blends of oil help to break down grime on our skin without stripping it, which means the skin doesn't react by producing more oil. Don't have acne? Oil cleansing is also thought to prevent premature aging, and this guest post from Jennifer of 20 Something Allergies And Counting Down will show you how to do it! Click here for before/after pics and a tutorial!

And now the #1 blog post for 2013 . . .
#1: How To Make Pure Coconut Oil Soap (For Cleansing And Laundry)
Amazing Lather? Check! Simple ingredients? Yep, only three.
When it comes to soap, this is probably the easiest recipe you'll ever make.
(Check out the tutorial)
And Now, My Favorite Posts
1. The story of A Frog, A Polar Bear & A Bullseye On My Bottom has my favorite ending of the year.
2. And of course, I loved this walk down memory lane with Daddypotamus.
3. This post on prosecuting parents who don't vaccinate ignited some, er. lively conversations
4. Soft, scented homemade play dough and salt dough ornaments were definitely highlights. I mean, the potami really liked them. It's not as if I pulled out the play dough and used it for stress therapy when they weren't looking. **ahem**
5. I'll be winding down the year with this blackened shrimp and scallop fondue, so it's only fitting to wrap up this list with it. Yum!
Your Turn!
What do YOU want to talk about in 2014? What kinds of posts would you like to see more of? Recipes? Natural Remedies? Beauty product tutorials? Vaccine posts? Please leave a comment and let me know!

35 Responses to Best Of The Potamus In 2013
Hi! I would LOVE to see a post with suggestions on how to eat fermented foods after you've made them. I started making my own fermented foods and my hubby is on board except when it comes to sauerkraut. He doesn't like it cold and I know cooking it defeats the purpose so I need some ideas as to how to serve it or what to serve it with where he won't turn his nose up at it. He hates coleslaw and says the kraut tastes like it!
Thank you!
Wish you were my neighbor. We would learn so much together and have so much fun!
I cannot stand fish taste and fish smell. How can I sneak this healthy food in? And any tips on how to disguise the Green Pastures fish oil passed my and my kids' taste buds?
I put the cod liver oil in applesauce, and my little ones don't seem to mind it.
My kids will take it if you freeze the cinnamon tingle in bean size lumps. When you pop them out of the freezer they slide down little throats with no problem and seem to taste more like cinnamon than fermented fish.
Perhaps even wrap them in something they like before you freeze like little squares of banana if more hiding is necessary.
I tried freezing and the oil never froze solid. It stayed soft like a thick liquid. How did you get the bean shape?
I get a little honey on spoons for each family member (I try to use raw manuka honey if I can afford it). The kids lick the honey off their spoons but I taught them to keep just a little honey in their mouth and I immediately pour the FCLO on the same spoons and the honey helps cover the fishy taste. It is very quick and easy for them to take this way!
By the way, the flavor we have is cinnamon tingle, seems to go good with the honey.
Riley Clinkenbeard, the vaccine post on this list is awesome!
Kim you can get FCLO pills & my kids take the caramel infusion followed with a chaser
I would love to see some "day in the life posts." As we are working on baking kidlet #2, it be nice to see some schedules for inspiration. When you do make time to make x, y, and z from scratch? (Without forgetting to feed a starter/mother.) How do meal plan? When did you introduce chores? I'm always looking for ideas on how to cram it all in. Thanks!
Kaity Gaines… great blog if you don't read it already.
Heather you amaze and fascinate me! Your Anniversary slide show had me welling up with tears and giggling (I'm sure if anyone else was down at the lake where I am right now they'd be convinced I'd "gone around the bend!"). You're husband and kids are so lucky to have you. Your love of life and your family are inspiration! Thank you for sharing a piece of it with us!!
Kim Plaga – You may find this article helpful http://holisticsquid.com/tricks-for-taking-fermented-cod-liver-oil/
Thank you.
Awww, thank you Stacey Anderson Modica! Honestly, though, I am the lucky one. All the best things about my life, and even the best parts in me, would not exist if not for the avalanche of love, joy, sleep deprivation, public potty accidents, date nights, glitter mishaps and general chaos they have generously bestowed on me.
Heather, you are amazing.
Heather you are a wonderful ,motivational, inspirational, and beautiful person!! My family is soooo much better off since I follow you so so closely!! We love all of your suggestions! I would love to spend a week in your kitchen learning all you do!! I am a graduate of the institute of integrative nutrition and also just a pure holistic medicine junky!! I cannot believe how much I still learn from your blogs and posts daily! Seriously I absolutely love all you do!! I would love any tips or advice as I would like to start my own blog and site to go along with my some day business. After I get my kiddos taken care of I would like to open up a wellness center and do some health coaching. Until then though I would love to blog and maybe help out via the Internet! Would you mind sharing some tips and pointers on getting started?? I would love to chat with you!! Let me know if you wouldn't mind mentoring me?!?! My email is email@example.com thank you and God bless! Have another splendid year!!
Oh one more thing! How do you get a junk food loving vegetable hating husband to eat healthy and climb on board with all of this stuff? My husband loves all that is bad for you!! I worry because my oldest son (2) is starting to mimic daddy and want what daddy has. I worked so hard at feeding him healthy and I'm starting to feel like its going down the drain! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
See Heather you proved my points! My boys are now 16 & 13 and I screamed through all those experiences (minus the glitter lol) with anxiety and less grace and appreciation than I care to admit. Luckily now I see the value and appreciate them everyday! I love your page and will continue to follow
Love them all Mommypotamus!
Oh Stacey Anderson Modica, let me tell you I thought I was a pretty compassionate, patient person until I married my husband and we started a family. Um, no. Not even close. The reason I say I am the lucky one is that my family has shown me all the ways I need to grow, and they actually keep me motivated to do it because they're such amazing people. I'm pretty sure every mother has done things she regrets. I have for sure. I'm just glad I didn't live my entire life in ignorance of what it really means to love, or at least to learn to love. <3
Michelle Cure – Thank you for your kind words! Though I would love to be able to mentor you it has physically impossible to even answer all my emails while giving my children the attention they deserve, homeschooling, cooking three meals a day and blogging.
I've written a little about how I got my husband on board with real food here: http://www.mommypotamus.com/get-cultured-an-online-class-that-will-teach-you-how-to-ferment-anything/
Hopefully there is something helpful in there that you can use
I agree with you on the husband and family showing the road to growth! You posted a saying recently about there not being a way to be a perfect Mom but a million ways to be a great Mom, and I totally related to that!
I love all the DIY products! I made the marshmallows for Christmas and dipped them in vegan chocolate – holy cow they were good!
Hi from England! i'd like posts about eating dairy and gluten free, i want to try it to see if it helps my MS, i've just ordered some cup measures from Amazon so i can stop being confused about the recipes! Happy healthy new year to you all. xx
Hi Susanne,
Have a look at http://www.drhuggins.com He sells a book which I am currently reading called Solving the MS mystery. He is a dentist that has fought against the use of mercury and root canals and implants. He was given Weston Price's manuscripts and had MS himself when he was in his 30s. He is now in his 80s after reversing the disease in himself and over 1000 of patients in the last 30 years. He says you can't cure MS but you can stay 3 days in front of it. Do you have any root canal teeth or mercury amalgam fillings?
Thanks Tom i'll check it out,i've been reading so many books about trying to "overcome" MS, lots about diet, i've lost faith in Drs, trying to help myself by taking lots of vitamins!
No worries Susanne. Good luck.
Please, please, please post more of your kind, eloquently-worded posts on keeping boys intact, or re-post the great articles you've already written. You approach this topic this so well. As a mom of an intact boy and a registered nurse, so many parents are not truly educated on the risk of circumcision and the ease of keeping boys intact by their own health care providers. Even in natural minded parenting circles, too many parents say they didn't know they had the choice and so many parents later regret circing their boys. Your site has been such a great educational tool for parents looking for better ways and I thank you for your previous intact posts.
Heather, thank you so much for the information and compassion you share. I've learned so much from you posts–not least of all that what feels right often is. My life changed four years ago when I cut out gluten and shortly afterward my husband and I started on a real food diet, WAPF-style, and we haven't looked back. Thank you for being a part of that journey through this site! Happy New Year.
I always love your posts! I finally got your cleaning recipes book (now I have all 3) for Christmas and I want to clean my whole house haha! In 2014 I would LOVE to see your thoughts on prenatal testing and exams, like what you chose and why. Also, I'm always interested in cosleeping tips (how are you doing it with Levi now)? Information on raw pet diets would be awesome too!
Hi Heather,
I would like to know more about how to nurture TH1 function and how you don't over-sanitize…here is your comment I pasted below from another article:
My strategy with my own family is to protect and nurture TH1 function […] and not over-sanitizing things so that my children have normal exposure to a host of microbes.
Happy New Year! I'd love more posts about your new farming adventure.
Forget the posts, I want to come to your farm and see you in action. I love your sense of humor and your very informative posts.

A few weeks ago  I was having a string of bad hair days. Can you relate? I'm guessing you can, we all have them. And it is  the one thing you have to wear everyday so you just want it to behave. Is that to much to ask?  I swear my hair has a mind of its own and enjoys playing little jokes on me.
So Iwas getting frustrated for a very stupid reason and then my brain took me back to three years ago.
Finding out I was going to have chemo was tough news. I thought I would avoid it since the cancer was not in my lymph nodes, but since I was HER2NU positive it was a must.
Okay, I could handle this. But the anticipation of losing my hair was scary. And there was still the hope that I might be one of those rare people who did not lose my hair, even though deep down I knew better with my type of chemo.
Three days before my second treatment, I woke up with an unusual pain in my head, different from a headache. I felt like someone was holding me up off the ground by my hair. Any touch to my head hurt, even trying to rest my head on a pillow.  It was happening, I was losing my hair. I still wanted to deny it. There wasn't much hair coming out yet.
The next night I was at a dinner banquet for my job, still hoping it wouldn't just all fall out. My husband kept picking hair off of my jacket. I did everything I could to not touch my hair, as more and more would come out.
Finally, I had to face the reality of just having it all cut off. I didn't have the guts to shave it or have someone do it for me and I still waited through the weekend to deal with it. I was scared. Even though I knew it was just hair, it was the outward fact to everyone that I was sick.
Early Monday morning while Bob slept, I sat on the edge of our bathtub with a scissors and started to cut it off. Tears were streaming down my face uncontrollably as I continued. But at the same time, I knew this was a step towards healing. And just when I realized I wasn't so strong, my little 4 month old kitty Daisy jumped up on my lap, stood up and tapped her two front paws on my cheeks. I then knew that it was going to be okay and thanked God for giving me that comfort.Â
I went to work that day in my new wig and no one pointed or stared. And within a few days I was use to it and actually liked having a wig. I mean, I was always having a good hair day. Though windy days still freaked me out a bit.
Even though there were benefits to wearing a wig, I was thrilled when I finally had some of my own hair back (but not on my legs!) It was mine and it meant I was on the road to recovery.
 The experience also taught me another lesson on looking at the big picture of life and not worrying about the smaller things. So the next time I have a bad hair day, I'm going to tell myself at least you have hair and pray for all the people going through chemo who do not.
If you or anyone you know is losing their hair from chemo please let them know about the American Cancer Society's Look Good Feel Better classes available at the River Falls Area Hospital and Westfield's Hospital in New Richmond. I went to this class and it was wonderful beyond words! For more information on time and dates, please contact your local hospital.
There will also be a Survivors Reunion in River Falls at St. Bridget's Church on March 7 at 6:00 p.m. and in Hudson at Bethel Highlands Church on May 12 at 6:00 p.m. These events are free and open to all survivors and caregivers. I was hesitant to go my first time as I was unsure what it really was, and then I went and  was thrilled to be having such a great time with my community members who understood the journey. Not to mention the inspiration of meeting many cancer survivors who were long time survivors. It gives me hope for all of us.
If you are interested in getting invovled by volunteering with the fight back against cancer please contact me at 715-426-5448 or email@example.com. We are in need of volunteers.

WAKEFIELD - This Saturday and Sunday, Tune In and Tune Up, an initiative by the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame to bring healthcare and information to musicians who need it, will hold two historic fundraising Unity Concerts at the Ocean Mist featuring 16 bands hailing from the Ocean State.
Doors open at 6 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Besides the featured bands, the concert will host a new artist spotlight to support up-and-coming musicians, a nurse station, chair massages, consultations with a personal trainer, and raffles. The Hampton Inn will be providing a discounted package-deal to concert attendees for the weekend.
Don Culp, who is on the advisory board of the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame, a practicing musician, and a certified personal trainer, founded the Tune In and Tune Up program when he noticed that too many musicians in the state did not have health insurance and were suffering because of it.
ŌĆ£MusicianŌĆÖs lives are very difficult,ŌĆØ said Culp. ŌĆ£We work long hours and late nights. Most of the time, musicians just canŌĆÖt afford health insurance. The healthcare system is screwed up in this country and is changing even more, now.ŌĆØ
The program provides offers health information and workshops on its website as well as a discount for health services at participating privately owned local offices. These services are available to all practicing musicians and people involved in the creation of music including sound people, lighting people and spouses of musicians.
Tune In and Tune Up has plans to expand to other sectors of freelance workers based on the outcome of the musician initiative. The program began with musicians because ŌĆ£thatŌĆÖs what the Music Hall of Fame doesŌĆØ.
The Rudy Cheeks band will be closing the night on Nov. 9. On Sunday, the band met at CulpŌĆÖs house in North Kingstown to rehearse their set list, which includes a song called ŌĆ£The New Deal,ŌĆØ a jazzy history lesson written by Rudy Cheeks in 1976 about the failures of RooseveltŌĆÖs New Deal.
The band rehearsed in CulpŌĆÖs soundproofed room alongside a rather large lava lamp, band posters and a framed picture of Johnny Cash. They went through Saturday nightŌĆÖs entire setlist, opening with a cover of ŌĆ£Fool Killer.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£The one thing that musicians need that we can help with is healthcare,ŌĆØ said Cheeks over a cigar during a break in rehearsal. ŌĆ£Almost all musicians that we know donŌĆÖt have health insurance.ŌĆØ
Culp continued, ŌĆ£weŌĆÖre all grabbing for the same brass ring. WeŌĆÖre trying to bring the community together to support each other because we all have the same struggle.ŌĆØ
The Unity Concert will be the culmination of months of planning, rehearsing, promoting, and passionate dedication by everyone involved.
ŌĆ£We are making history here,ŌĆØ said Adrienne West of Longshot Voodoo, who will be singing with the Rudy Cheeks Band on Saturday. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not just two shows.ŌĆØ
If You Go
The Unity Concerts to benefit Tune in and Tune Up will be held Saturday, Nov. 9 starting at 6 p.m. and Sunday, Nov, 10 at 2 p.m. at the Ocean Mist, Matunuck Beach Road, South Kingstown. Tickets cost $20 for one day or $35 for both days. For more information including a complete schedule of bands visit www.rhodeislandmusichalloffame.com.

The Role of Ethics in Nation Building: The Balance between Unity and Cultural Diversity
The Annual Ethics Conferences have been one of the most beautiful experiences in Strathmore's university life. It all begun in 2003 as a modern areopagus, a unique and exciting discussion forum where the most diverse and innovative ideas on how to achieve the common good are discussed, shared and challenged.
The Annual Ethics Conferences have produced 6 books and 2 more are under way. Almost 4,000 professionals, policy-makers, public servants, politicians, diplomats, lawyers, educationalists, media owners and journalists, businessmen, policemen, the youth… have benefitted from more than 150 scholarly researched papers, debates, panel sessions intermingled with excellent meals and refreshments by the Strathmore and Kibondeni Catering Schools.
The Ethics Conferences have turned Strathmore into a workshop of ideas that have produced measurable results, such as the National Value System, whose birth was first discussed at the 6th Annual Ethics Conference on Leadership. These Conferences have also produced immeasurable results which remain at the personal level, within the conscience of those great Africans who have decided to give a turn to the lives and business for the better, seeking the greatness of the human spirit beyond profit maximization. These are not celebrities, these are the great men and women who are ahead of their time; they swim against the tide of the inertia of their own generation… they are changing the world by first changing themselves.
This year's conference reaffirmed this tradition. The 8th Annual Ethics Conference focused on The Role of Ethics in Nation Building: The Balance between Unity and Cultural Diversity.
Visit the speakers page to see the presentations. The proceeding will also be published next year.

List stories are popular fare for Healthcare IT News readers. There's nothing like the "7 best jobs in healthcare IT" or "10 ways to work with your vendor" articles to gain the reader's attention in print or online. The most read and "clicked" articles of that genre are the ones that feature the best hospitals - best in IT, best in safety, best in care.
As individuals and organizations we strive to do our best, to be the best - and "best-of" lists attract readers who want to see how they compare.
For our cover story this month, we selected one among the many hospitals across the country that often land on the "most this" or "best that" lists, and we dug deeper. We went behind the list, so to speak. What does it mean to be the best? What does it look like? What does it take to pursue excellence?
We wanted to give you a glimpse of what "best" looks like at one hospital. Healthcare IT News Associate Editor Erin McCann traveled to Boston Children's Hospital to part the curtain on what it means for this hospital to be at the top of its game.
It's robots - even take-home robots. Yet, it's not robots. It's about awards. No, probably not. Though the awards seem to come easily, there is no award chase at Boston Children's. No paper chase either. The hospital is paperless. Not even a sticky note in sight. It could be about technology. But, we all agree, that technology alone does not make an excellent hospital.
It's an outlook, a mindset. It's discipline. It's a willingness to make tough decisions, to look at how things have always been done and consider a new way, to take risks, to work hard and to pull together. It's leadership, grace, imagination and courage - the intangibles more than the technology.
Boston Children's always had a goal, but it was not to achieve Stage 7 on the HIMSS Analytics scale, or to make the Most Wired Hospitals list, or any other recognition that signaled the hospital had arrived. The goal was to make sure patients were safe while entrusted to Boston Children's, and to make sure they received the best care possible.
"Way back when we started on this journey 10 years long, it was primarily focused on improving patient safety and optimizing care processes, making things more efficient where possible," CIO Daniel Nigrin told McCann. "I think just as part of that process, the way that we've achieved going after that stuff has resulted in us also garnering some awards along the way."
So with the eye on the goal - continually improving care - Boston Children's is one example of what one hospital can do. Some might say that Boston Children's is among the elite and well heeled. The affluent medical centers have more money, but that by itself does not guarantee excellence.

Oregon State Fair attendance was down 5.6 percent from last year, according to preliminary figures from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.
A total of 196,814 people attended this year, while 208,392 people attended last year.
Paid concerts accounted for the largest difference between this year and 2012, the department said in a press release. About 35,000 people purchased tickets and no events were sold out in 2013, while 53,000 people bought tickets last year with one sell-out event.
However, public participation in arts and crafts competitions went up this year, in some cases by 50 percent.
This years fair days also were warmer than 2012, and Salems weather station recorded rain on five days between Aug. 23 and Sept. 2.
The 2013 Legislative Assembly passed a law in 2013 to change the state fair and exposition into a public corporation. According to the press release, a team is working to establish the corporation by 2015.

How Did the 50 Shades Of Grey Trilogy Take Over The NYT Best Sellers List?
By now, you've probably heard of the "mommy porn" erotica novel 50 Shades of Grey by E.L. James; you might even own a copy. What started as not so innocent Twilight fanfiction has become a bona fide literary phenomenon.
What's notable about the book isn't its popularity, but rather the insane level of overnight popularity it achieved in a matter of months. The novel debuted at the top of the New York Times Best Sellers list nine weeks ago and hasn't moved an inch. Not only that, but the two sequels, 50 Shades Darker and 50 Shades Freed, have since taken over spots two and three. So how did a cheesy Twilight spinoff about sex, BDSM, and sadism take over the best sellers list?
In a word: e-books. Yes, the e-book has become a brown paper bag of sorts for erotica fans. No more trips to the sketchy adult book store or awkward stares at Barnes & Noble. Across the country, literally millions of women are surreptitiously reading porn on their tablet computers.
When doomsayers said that e-books and tablets would change the publishing world for good, we don't think this is what they had in mind.
Have you read 50 Shades of Grey?

Swimming is one of the most popular sports today. Are you a pupil? Are you a student? Or are you a marketer? Whoever you are, swimming is interesting to you. However, to avoid mistakes as well as the danger when swimming, you need to know swimming techniques. Therefore, in this article, I will show several ways of learning how to swim effectively, even you are a beginner on swimming skills.
I. Tips And Tricks Of Learning How To Swim – Common Swimming Mistakes When Learning How To Swim
It is dangerous if you swim with limited swimming skills, or you do not understand about the mistakes. Sometimes you could think that your swimming knowledge is enough, and you can prevent the risks. However, I will reveal some general and different mistakes when learning how to swim.
1. Lead Your Head Too High
Learning how to swim at the first time, you make your head higher than your body. This makes your body imbalance in the water. Head position is very important when learning how to swim, and the common position almost of you make are your head looking forward. When your head is increased higher, your hip can be drained automatically. It means that your swimming speed in the water is not faster than you expect. When swimming, you do not lift up your head to see what is in front of, but you should find something in the bottom of the water to see. You will be comfortable when doing this regularly. Raising your head when learning how to swim should be ignored because it will slow down your process of swimming and certainly, you cannot learn to swim well.
2. Wrong Kicking
One of the most crucial learning techniques is your smooth knee. When swimming, you adjust how your knee is not bent but forward with your body and your arms. Are you thinking that when you boot your knees or your legs, you will swim fast? Actually, kicking you knees can improve your swimming speed; however, another common mistake is to bend your knee while kicking. You should try to keep your legs straight and avoid bent knees as much as possible. To correct this mistake, you should identify that kicking is from your hips, not from your knees or legs. The advice is that your ankle should be flexible to help you kick the hip correctly.

3. Incorrect Breath Timing
Do not worry about how you can swim, let practice breathing correctly in the water first. Do not breathe earlier than the time you start swimming, let take a breath following the hands moving, and make sure that exhaling goes through your nose, not your mouth.
4. Flat Swimming
This mistake means your belly will face with the bottom of the swimming pool in each stroke. Let expanding your arms to avoid this problem. The importance is that you should be self-confident when swimming; you are doing the right way.
5. Fast And Short Stroke
Keep full length of your stroke, your breath, but do not shorten it or prolong it. It means that you do not end up your stroke too early, but count your stroke when lapping. Let start with the slow pace and increase your speed regularly.

November 29, 2015
It was a half and half weekend across southern and eastern Kentucky, but the week ahead looks mainly dreary. Several chances of showers and storms will be with us through the week as a slow moving cold front will take the majority of the week to cross the nation.
Tomorrow will be very similar to today with showers and storms of the pop up variety possible across the entire area. The best chance will be during the early afternoon and evening.
Chances of widespread rain will be on the increase Wednesday into Thursday as the front actually enters the region. The rain could be heavy at times.
Rain should exit the region in bulk by Friday, however by the time it's all said and done, some places in Eastern Kentucky could pick up an inch or two of rain.
This may lead to a few isolated high water problems. We will monitor that threat as we head through the week. In the mean time, check out the 7-Day forecast, which features a cooler, but mainly dry weekend.

Laughter lights up our brainsComment on this story
London - When we find something funny, our brains as well as our faces "light up", it seems.
The funnier a joke is, the more activity is seen in "reward centres" - specific neurons which create feelings of pleasure, research shows.
And learning how humour affects the brain may have a serious use. For experts believe it could help determine whether patients in a vegetative state experience positive emotions.
A team of Medical Research Council scientists scanned the brains of volunteers to compare what happened when they heard ordinary sentences and jokes.
This showed that the reward centres "lit up" much more in response to humour.
What is more, the strength of the response depended on how funny each of the 12 patients found these jokes.
Researcher Dr Matt Davis, from the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge, said: "We found a characteristic pattern of brain activity when the jokes used were puns.
"For example, jokes like "Why don't cannibals eat clowns? Because they taste funny!" involved brain areas for language processing more than jokes that didn't involve wordplay.
"This response differed again from non-humorous sentences that also contained words with more than one meaning.
"Mapping how the brain processes jokes and sentences shows how language contributes to the pleasure of getting a joke.
"We can use this as a benchmark for understanding how people who cannot communicate normally react to jokes."
The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, may help doctors "reach out" to brain injury patients in vegetative states. It could also help people with emotional problems. - Daily Mail

Rory McIlroy watches his shot off the fifth tee Saturday during the third round of the Honda Classic at PGA National GC Champion Course.
Rory McIlroy did just enough to keep the lead in the Honda Classic with a 1-under 69, giving him a two-shot lead on Saturday and a chance to win on the U.S. PGA Tour for the first time in 18 months.
McIlroy avoided a big number early in his round with a superb shot off the pine straw to escape with bogey, and he gave himself a slightly bigger cushion late as the wind picked up at PGA National. He hit 5-iron over the water and into the wind to 10 feet for birdie on the 16th hole. He narrowly missed two more to close out his round.
McIlroy was at 12-under 198, two shots ahead of Russell Henley. ...

Once upon a time, in the distant past, a penny or a nickel were worthwhile coins, and you could stick one in a slot in a device at a grocery or a Woolworth Ten Cent Store and do business. What could you get? Well, for a penny you could get a handful of peanuts or candy. Also, you could stand on a public scale in some store, deposit a penny in the slot, and your weight was printed out on a tiny ticket. What weight scale does that for you today?
A nickel in the slot on the door could get you into a toilet stall in a public toilet. These "pay toilet" stalls were higher class, and likely cleaner, and likely had some toilet paper available, whereas the free stalls might not.
The penny is a dodo. Who needs it? And, it costs the government something like 1.24 cents to make each penny! How dumb are we? Don't answer that! Let's trash the penny! And, while we are at it, why not eliminate the nickel?
Then there were the motels 50 years ago that had vibrating beds! Wonderful! A box on the wall over the bed said "Magic Fingers. Deposit a Quarter and Your Bed Will Vibrate for Five Minutes." These units started a little off-center motor that buzzed your bed. Any reader have one of these? I'll bet not. But guess what, "Munson of Muncie" does have these for sale - and they're in the phone book! Call them.
Be the first on your street to have a vibrating bed. Or, why not have a vibrating recliner chair? Or, a vibrating chair at your computer? Or, in your car? Why not have a vibrating toilet seat? These devices are helpful to persons who have ADHD, PTSD, OCD, RLS, and other such acronymic illnesses. Or for people who just like looney fixtures.
Many years ago, I found myself one night in a motel in Monterey, Calif., and it was a cold night. No problem, there was a box on the wall that had a thermostat that I could set. I adjusted the room temperature to a comfy 72 degrees, and a little window on the thermostat lit up and read, "Deposit a Quarter for One Hour of Heat."
Holy jumping Jehoshaphat! Pay for heat in a motel? Yes. I had no quarters, so I had to take off my jammies, put on some clothes, walk to the motel office and trade two dollars for eight quarters. Then back to my room, put on my jammies again, and stick the eight quarters in the slot. That electric heater made so much noise that I hardly slept at all. Phooey to California!
In Muncie, I see some coin operated devices chiefly in the entrance ways of grocery stores. The favorite seems to be a device that for a quarter will give you a little bit of candy. There are also small metallic horses for kids to "ride," also for a quarter.
Then there was the amazing pay telephone! Any of these around anymore? No pay telephone booths around Muncie - everyone carries a cell phone. Maybe pay phones in airports? I don't know. I quit flying when you had to take off your shoes and your belt and your wallet and your rupture truss.
I do remember about 40 years ago, the local phone company was selling off some of those old glass phone booths. I wanted to buy one and put it on the lane leading to our farm home, with a sign that read: "Phone Ahead to Open the Gate! But First Deposit a Quarter!" My wife didn't like the idea.
Coin operated America. It was a wonderful time. Let's turn the clock back. Let's bring back the 50-cent piece and the $2 bill. Call your congressman. Call your senator. Call your party headquarters!
Bring back the horse and buggy. Bring back the nickel mug of beer. Bring back penny candy. Bring back Orv's Drive In. Bring back the Flamingo Restaurant. I have to quit now. I'm becoming too nervous. I do have some pills here at home for nervousness but I have to deposit 10 quarters into a little box to get each pill, and I don't have any coins with me.
Modern times? Phoooey!
Phil Ball is a retired Muncie physician and contributing humor writer to The Star Press.

To the BEST/WORST ever!
I'm finally rid of you. I don't think you understand what a tripper you really are. More than half of the things you muttered during our relationship were so whacked, it's shocking "they" allow you outdoors. I've never dated anyone like you; hell, I've never even met anyone like you. Such drama, such chaos, so much pain. Everything was like a bad movie, a never-ending bad movie. A relationship with you is exactly like masturbating with a fist full of broken glass glued in place.
I have a few tips for you. Don't ever say to another person, "I'm so glad I'm rich. There's no way you'll leave me." Don't ask anyone, "If you were dangling your Mom or me off a cliff, you'd keep me, right?" Never beg, "Lets just have kids, please?" Oh yeah, I hate to break it to you but most people aren't interested in being urinated on. Thanks, but no thanks. There's not a day that passes (since we broke up) that I don't thank my lucky stars for your obvious short-comings. Had you not made the terrible mistakes you did, we'd probably still be together.
Why you ask? Well, I've never had better sex with anyone. Holy shit we were evil in the sack! I've never felt so much passion with someone I had such little respect for. We made the damn paint melt off the walls. My neighbors thought crimes were being committed. The lights were flickering, seemingly on their own. My sheets became a tidal wave of what you'd probably call, love. Dogs were barking, crows were crowing, possums we popping under speeding UPS truck tires. The world revolved around us. Two love-making professionals, meeting in the night. I still can't believe how well we connected physically, and how poorly we connected mentally. Why did it go on for so long? It's quite obvious: the sex, the sex, the sex.
Do you really think your ideas about the world are something you should share with another person? Have you ever considered putting a filter on the things you say? You don't honestly feel the way you do about your life, do you? Are you really this blind? Shouldn't you be in a padded room somewhere, sedated for eternity?
You may be surprised to hear this, but I'm glad I met you. It'll be the benchmark for all future meetings. I'll never forget you. I want to continue laughing at our moments together for the rest of my life. When I'm old and about to die, I'll utter these last three words through my tears:
"Interesting first date."
Thanks for BEST/WORST dinner and one night stand ever. May some sort of god have mercy on your soul.
