About Me:
- I am from New Jersey and really stink at pumping my own gas.
- I live on campus in the GLC.
- I am currently working for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta on a Revenue Cycle project.
- I worked for a year as a business analyst for JPMorgan Chase in Manhattan.
- Apparently I'm not very good at oragami!
- Julia Jones's Interesting points:
- A certificate of need is required for a regulatory review process of the state to build a hospital.
- Evidence based design to impact experience
- Center for healthcare design - designing for efficiency - patient focused - philanthropic - "universal room" - Flexible for future expansion - Centers of Excellence
- Most doctors not employed by the hospitals, and have poor handwriting!
- self propelled beds
- COW - Computer on Wheels
- Abulatory = outpatient treatment
- General Inpatient = diagnostic
For more clarification: What are we doing for Hughes Spaulding? What have they not planned yet?
- Craig Zimring - Environments of Healing
Evidence based medicine -> evidence based practive -> EVIDENCE BASED DESIGN physical design variables that support decision making www.healthdesign.org/research/reports Principles:
- Improve quality and saftey
- Patient and Family centered
Hospitals are too noisy!
3 zones in a room: 1. family zone 2. patient zone 3. care giver zone
hospital contruction costs ~ $300 per sq. ft
- incorporate nature, art, music
- moving control from the institution to the individual
- decentralized nurses stations
- sound absorbing ceiling tiles
- acuity adaptable rooms
- flexible spaces
- oversized, windowed single rooms
- computerized order entry
- PDAs
= fewer falls, fewer patient transferes, less infections, reduced nurse turnover, reduced drug costs
8/28/07 Hughes Spaulding Visit
5 Observations
- Low ceilings feel oppresive
- Entrance area is small and not welcoming
- Poor way finding. Nothing in addition to the signs
- ED is extremely cramped and a sheet is used to divide one large room- no privacy! It is also L shaped which makes visibility and communication difficult from one side to the other.
- Patient bracelets activate alarms and lock doors - Infant Protection System is a great idea.
5 Ideas
- More lighting, preferably natural, to make smaller areas appear larger
- New paint and updated artwork including elements of nature to appeal to the children
- Color coding pathways to make it easier for way finding
- Motorized golf cart to transport patients through the tunnel
- Stored comfort preferences for repeat patients
3 Conversations
- Leslie the HKS Clinical design architect - One of the biggest challenges he is facing is keeping the hospital 100% operational while building the new areas, moving, and destroying the older parts.
- Roscoe Simmons the security manager - There is no morgue in Hughes Spaulding. So the deceased patients are transported through the tunnel to the basement of Grady while other patients and staff are going through the tunnel as well. This demonstrates the importance of front of house vs back of house areas, processes in keeping the patients more comfortable and lower stress.
- A woman who works as an orderly at Hughes Spaulding - She said that even though the hospital is in really bad shape and the transition will make her job challenging, she loves working there because Children's treats their employees great. A true testament to employee satisfaction and loyalty. This is necessary in periods of major change.

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
Fort Myers, Florida (News-Press) -- A Lee County deputy has been fired after an internal affairs
investigation found he had sexually explicit photos on his work computer
and had allowed a woman to be photographed topless while in his patrol
The internal affairs investigation found Deputy
Robert Hamer displayed conduct unbecoming of an officer and violated
department rules and regulations.
The investigation began
July 30 after Hamer's wife notified the sheriff's office there had been a
domestic incident between her and her husband, and she believed she
found pictures in his possession that violated the sheriff's office
She then sent several of the photos to
investigators, one of which was of an unknown woman sitting in the
driver's seat of an unmarked patrol car. The woman was not wearing a
shirt, and her breasts were exposed in the picture, according to the
investigation report.
Investigators were able to determine the vehicle was assigned to Hamer at the time the picture was taken.
Investigators also recovered several sexually explicit images of Hamer and his wife on Hamer's work computer.

Richard Alva Cavett was born on Nov. 19, 1936 in Gibbon, NE. His parents were both educators, which likely explained why the future star excelled in academics and sports growing up. Cavett was elected president of the student council at Lincoln High School in Lincoln and won the gold medal at the state's gymnastics championship. He was enamored with magic as a young man, performing magic shows at the Lincoln Country Club - where he worked as a caddy by day - for $35 a night. In 1952, Cavett won the Best New Performer award at the International Brotherhood of Magicians convention in St. Louis, MO.

Dean Rybicki's '54 ChevyWritten by on August 1, 2001 Its Not How You StartIts How You Finish!
Desire and ability don't always match financial resources. Sometimes one has to backtrack to make a dream come true. Dean and Cherri Rybicki were a young California couple with two kids to raise, and their budget didn't leave room for every toy they wanted. But when Dean dreamed of one day owning a vintage truck, he imagined a bright-yellow pickup with a blown motor poking through the hood.
Dean first purchased a '52 Chevy truck that was fairly stock with an updated drivetrain. Unfortunately, it was a nightmare—a bottomless money pit that became a constant source of frustration and disappointment. Dean decided to cut his losses, sell the '52, and scan the Truck Trader ads for the truck of his dreams. Three years later he spotted this '54 less than 10 miles from his home in Seal Beach, California. There were enough little modifications to indicate that the previous owner had invested some time and money, and it was bright yellow, his dream color.
Dean noticed some of the differences from the '52 Chevy. The '54 Chevy 3100 pickups came with a one-piece windshield. More noticeable was the different grille design, a more massive crossbar treatment with body color on the outside bars, and (originally) Thistle Gray or Argent Silver on the inner bars. This truck has been relieved of its rear bumper and most of its bright trim; even the door handles are painted late-model GM items. But it's under the hood where the biggest changes have occurred. Since its purchase, Dean's truck has been further modified by Wheeler's Speed Shop and Nick Haas to provide more spirited performance and (oh, yeah?) reliability. The Huntington Beach crew added a BDS 6-71 blower and nitrous oxide to the approximately 700hp 350 Chevy hooked to a TH400 trans with a B&M 3,000-rpm converter and shift kit.
We spotted Dean's truck in the paint shop where it was getting touched up after Wheeler's Speed Shop cut the hole in the hood to clear the airscoop. Soon after the paint dried we snapped these photos at the Seal Beach pier. Now Dean has to pinch himself as he motors through the beach towns along Pacific Coast Highway in his dream-come-true '54 Chevy.

Quality Auto Trim in Bloomington, California, handled the tan vinyl and tweed interior. Check out the small console added under the center of the dash to house the stereo and a couple of gauges. Dean says, "Who cares! I listen to the sound of the motor!" Behind the Budnik steering wheel are VDO gauges wired through a Painless Performance wiring panel.Before the hood was bolted in place we shot the blown 350 with hard lines feeding two-stage nitrous oxide to Edelbrock 650cfm carbs. The BDS 6-71 blower and scoop with K&N filters are neatly polished. Other details include ported heads with Zoops valve covers and wire looms, S&S Headers, and a Milodon chrome oil pan below. cct

housekeepers which has led to chronic pain; and an unsafe environment.

I am drawn to the centrality of food in both daily living
and human development. In fact, studying the domestic and global food systems has
become a passion of mine. In my own learning, I have come to conceptualize food as a nexus of the
world's forces, systems, and histories that both embody inequalities of the
past and perpetuate those injustices today: Food connects to hunger,
inequality, oppression, agriculture, sustainability, power, violence, political
economy AND the hopeful possibilities for future societies.

[UPDATE] Lowndes County, Georgia- July 24, 2012
Around 6:30 Monday morning, the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office raided two homes, one of which was on Lausanne Drive. About 15 hundred identities were recovered, according to the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office. Drugs, money and cars were also seized.
There they found Belinda Harris and Aaron Casey. They also found 35 grams of marijuana, and roughly 15 hundred stolen identities. Casey was charged with the marijuana.
Harris was charged with three counts of felony financial identity fraud.
Says Mary Berrien: "That was my son-in-law's niece. And I didn't think she'd be doing nothing like this."
Says Willie Martin: "It was a surprise. I didn't think that was going on. You know she was a pretty nice girl. It kind of shocked me, I think it was a shock to the whole neighborhood."
Harris allegedly pocketed between $7 hundred and $9 thousand dollars from each identity. A scam that had been going on for about 2 years, according to the sheriff's Office.
Says the Lowndes County Sheriff: "The person that is committing the crime doesn't look at it as a direct victim impact like you would an armed robbery or aggravated assault. Because they're never going to see their victim. They may not know who they are, but the person that is the victim, it's devastating to them"
This was a joint investigation between the FBI, the Secret Service and the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office.
Both Casey and Harris are still being held at the Lowndes County Jail.
In the meantime, four cars and various electronic devices that were confiscated will be auctioned off and used to compensate the victims.
July 23, 2012
Sheriff Chris Prine stated that this morning at around 6:30 AM investigators with the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office, Federal Bureau of Investigation South West Georgia Gang Task Force and the United States Secret Service simultaneously executed search warrants at 917 Lausanne Drive and 809 Woodlawn Drive, both in Valdosta. The investigators have been recently working on a large number of identity theft cases all associated with fraudulent income tax filings. During the execution of these warrants, investigators recovered several vehicles, items of property, approximately thirty-five grams of marijuana and a sum of currency.
Arrested during the operation was Belinda "Turbo" Harris who has been charged with multiple counts of Identity theft, a felony and Aaron Lamar Casey who has been charged with Possession of marijuana, with the intent to distribute, also a felony.
According to Sheriff Prine, this investigation is on-going and additional charges will be made as the investigation progresses and offenses are identified. Persons with information are urged to contact the Sheriff's Office at (229) 671-2950.
Data: Harris, Belinda Renee
719 Lausanne Street – Valdosta
27 years old
Casey, Aaron Lamar
917 Lausanne Street – Valdosta
20 years old
Both of these persons remain in the Lowndes County Jail and will appear before a Magistrate Judge for an arraignment hearing tomorrow.

A Window into the Industry Collections - May 2016
25 Mai 2016,
As usual in this monthly blog post I'd like to share with you some of the objects that have been recently added to the industry and transport collections of Amgueddfa Cymru.
The first is a really interesting collection relating to the Court Royal Convalescent Home for the South Wales Mining Industry. The Court Royal Convalescent Home was situated in Bournemouth, and was purchased in January 1946. It was formerly a hotel, and during the Second World War it was requisitioned to accommodate Members of H.M. Forces. After extensive alterations and re-decoration it was opened for the reception of patients on 7th July 1947 with the official opening on 8th November 1947. By 1957 12,500 patients had been given 2 weeks convalescence at the home. The collection comprises of documents, such as the programme for the official opening and some advertising cards. It also contains some very interesting photographs showing the home and some of the miners convalescing there.
This lithographically printed tinplate box was produced for The Briton Ferry Steel Co. Ltd. to commemorate the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937. On the lid are images of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. On the inside of the lid is an aerial photograph of Albion Steel Works, with Briton Ferry Steel Works in the background. Its size suggests that it may have originally contained confectionary or possibly tobacco/cigarettes. It was almost certainly produced for distribution to employees of the company which owned Albion Steel Works, Briton Ferry Steel Works and a group of tinplate and sheet works.
This postcard shows the wreck of the S.S. Valsesia on Friar's Point, Barry Island, and was taken on the 25 August 1926. The Valsesia was an Italian vessel, built in 1921, that was laden with coal during the 1926 General Strike. She drifted onto the rocks after failing to anchor, and when the tide went out she broke her back. In 1927, she was towed off the beach and taken to Briton Ferry.
This photograph shows another wreck. This one is the H.M.S. Cleveland ashore at Diles Lake, Llangennith, towards south end of Rhossilli Beach, Gower. In June 1957 when under tow by Brynforth of Swansea en route to E.G. Rees, ship breakers of Llanelli, the vessel broke her tow and went ashore at Llangennith, being driven far up the beach by the spring tides. Unsuccessful attempts to refloat her lasted until autumn and focussed on the September spring tides. She was then dismantled on the beach, the work being completed in 1959. The steel would have been consumed by open hearth furnaces at various south Wales steel works, most likely the works in the region between Port Talbot and Llanelli.
Finally this month, this cover commemorates the "Official Opening of the Tidal Harbour and Basic Oxygen Steel Making Plant at Port Talbot on 12th May, 1970". It was issued to all men employed on the construction of the new harbour. The donor was employed as a welder, by Marples-Ridgeway, the main contractor for the unloading jetty inside the new harbour.

City launches new strategy for governance
CHULA VISTA Chula Vista's managers introduced a new strategic approach to making decisions at a City Council workshop on Thursday that should help council members during budget season.
City Manager Jim Sandoval said the plan will also help determine how and where to add employees back onto the city's decimated roster.
He explained that in light of its recent emergence from a financial crisis, now is the time for Chula Vista to think about its long-term goals.
The goal of the high-level strategy is to help achieve financial resiliency, inform City Council decision making and link every action in the city to a common and explicit goal laid out in the strategic plan, said Ed Chew, manager of administrative services and continuous improvement.
Ideally, he said, the strategic plan would guide the City Council's annual plan, which would then dictate performance measures. Managers would then track those criteria and report back to the council, helping city leaders make their decisions for the following year.
Chew, Continuous Improvement Manager Mandy Mills and a subcommittee spent the last five months studying the functions of various departments and talking to residents about what kinds of services and programs they want from their city government. They then came up with five goals to encompass all of those things:
• Strong and secure neighborhoods
• Healthy community
• Economic vitality
• Connected community
• Operational excellence
Mills and Chew tag-teamed on their presentation, which involved sharing a flow chart that showed how various initiatives fall under and help achieve those primary goals. Every action, down to an individual employee's daily work, should directly promote one of the objectives, they explained.
Chew used the strong and secure neighborhoods goal as an example of the strategic process. Ensuring secure neighborhoods means providing and maintaining public infrastructure, he said.
"We need to be able to provide safe streets that people can drive on, the streetlights are working and the sewers are flowing free," he explained.
Economic vitality wraps up initiatives from the Chula Vista Bayfront Master Plan and the university center to attracting and retaining businesses or enhancing the city's image.
Sandoval told the council that the idea of the strategic plan is to provide council members with better and more thorough information so they can make the best decisions for the city. He also said his team is looking at the possibility of commissioning an analysis that would take stock of all the city's programs to identify which need the most attention in order to bring them into good operating condition. He estimates it would cost $300 million to get everything – including roads, sewers, parks and inspections – up to par, but that right now nobody knows for sure.
"There are always going to be more needs than there are moneys," he said. "It's just a fact of life. What we're going to try to do is bring to you all the areas of city's responsibility and where they are, whether they're in good shape or bad shape, and what we need to do to fix them."
In order to hit its marks, he suggested that the city will need to add some employees back onto the payroll after five years of cutbacks left the government operating with 25 percent fewer workers than it had in 2007. The city right now is understaffed, he said, but he and his management team want to be strategic about how they add back in order to get the maximum benefit for the community.
Sandoval also intends in March to unleash a new compensation plan for the city's employees, who he said over the past several years have learned to work harder and more efficiently with more responsibilities and need to be compensated accordingly.

Based on the true story of one of the greatest moments in sports history, the tale captures a time and place where differences could be settled by games and a cold war could be put on ice. In 1980, the United States Ice Hockey team's coach, Herb Brooks, took a ragtag squad of college kids up against the legendary juggernaut from the Soviet Union at the Olympic Games. Despite the long odds, Team USA carried the pride of a nation yearning from a distraction from world events. With the world watching the team rose to the occasion, prompting broadcaster Al Michaels' now famous question, to ... Full Summary >>

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
That's what I learned on my first day at Hogwarts.
Yes, Hogwarts. As in the foreboding castle that towers over Hogsmeade at Universal Orlando's Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Article Photos
Photos by Phyllis R. Sigal
The towers of Hogwarts are visible as soon as you enter the Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is just one of the areas to visit at the Islands of Adventure.
Being the Harry Potter fan that I am, I've been dying to travel to The Wizarding World in Orlando, Fla., since all the opening hype in June. I've read the books; I've seen the movies; I wanted to experience Harry's "world" first-hand.
My "muggle self" was ready for the day; I couldn't wait to walk the streets of Hogsmeade, shop in the shops, check out the wands, sip a Butterbeer and dine at the Three Broomsticks.
What I wasn't prepared for was the very first ride of the day.
We were advised to visit Harry Potter and the Forbidden Adventure first, to avoid the long lines that just get longer and longer as the day progresses. So we quickly made our way to the end of the line, zipping past the train at platform 9 3/4 - well, we did stop just long enough to have our picture taken with the conductor - and all the shops and storefronts.
It started out just fine. (Except for the locker room fiasco - I'll get back to that.)
The line moved fairly quickly to the point where we entered Hogwarts. We walked along the darkened passageway where the moving photographs talked to us, the Sorting Hat sorted us and The Fat Lady was frustrated at all us tourists entering her domain. Dumbledore spoke to us, as did Harry, Ron and Hermione.
Then it was time to step on the moving walkway and make our way to our "car."
Billed as "the most exhilarating theme park attraction ever created," Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey takes guests inside Hogwarts. The adventure, according to press information, "combines a powerful story line with spectacular new technology so effectively guests will be completely immersed in the experience. The ride will take guests on a journey where they will travel by Floo Network, soar over Hogwarts, narrowly escape a dragon attack, have a close encounter with the Whomping Willow, get pulled into a Quidditch match and more."
Sure, it does all that. But if your eyes are closed the entire time - well, you kinda miss the technology, the experience and the journey.
Apparently, I hadn't done my research. I didn't know it was an inside roller coaster that slams you around, this way and that way. At the first swoosh .... (or should I say, "Flooooosh," I started to hold on for dear life. I squeezed my eyes shut. I thought my Crocs were going to slip from my feet (then how would I get around the rest of the day?).
Then, I thought the harness that was keeping me alive right then was going to snap open, and I'd hurtle down to the depths of Hogwarts, never to be heard from again.
And then the ride was over. I made my away out of that contraption, across the moving walkway, to stillness. And safety. And the gift shop.
I had lived. I'd shop again. But, truth be told, I was so shaken up, I didn't even want to be inside Filch's Emporium of Confiscated Goods.
I hated every minute of the actual "ride." (But, wait ... there's a happy ending ... keep reading.)
Next, we went on the Flight of the Hippogriff, ANOTHER roller coaster ... a smaller, more benign adventure where we traveled by "Hippogriff" above Hagrid's cottage.
By then, I was ready for a Butterbeer.
Delicious. A non-alcoholic version of Harry, Ron and Hermione's favorite treat, is available at little Butterbeer carts throughout Hogsmeade as well as at the Hog's Head Pub. We chose to order up at the pub, where the lines were much shorter.
The sweet beverage tasted a bit like root beer, and the foam top, which was dispensed through a separate tap, was a cross between Marshmallow Fluff and whipped cream. Yummy. You can get your Butterbeer in a souvenir mug for an additional $5. I'd recommend a Butterbeer as an afternoon treat, because it is so sweet.
Once I got my shopping chops back, I made my way through Zonko's, Honeydukes, and Dervish and Banges - all while my husband Bruce went on the Dragon Challenge, a high-speed roller coaster, where "you'll need the courage of a Triwizard Tournament champion as you mount one of two dragons - an aggressive Chinese Fireball or a ferocious Hungarian Horntail - that twist, loop and nearly collide in an intertwining roller coaster chase across the sky," according to the ride description.
Yeah, right. I knew I didn't have that courage. Too many red flags - "twist" ... "loop" ... "collide" - for my delicate constitution!
He enjoyed it. And he said I made the correct decision for myself.
We had lunch at Three Broomsticks, a rustic tavern that offers fish and chips, shepherd's pie, turkey legs, Cornish pasty and more. A children's menu and a "Great Feast Platter," that serves a family of four for $49.99 also are offered.
We shared one shepherd's pie meal and one Cornish pasty meal, and of course tried the Hogs Head Ale - in another souvenir mug.
Three Broomsticks "buffeteria" had a well-organized ordering system and lots of seating, which made for quick service - a real plus if you have a mob of starving muggle children.
We also watched the Frog Choir, a singing foursome of Hogwarts students accompanied by their large, croaking frogs. We missed the Triwizard Spirit Rally, which apparently is a "colorful procession of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students as they lead the excitement for the Triwizard Tournament," according to park information.
Our last stop of the day at Hogsmeade was to Ollivanders, "makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.," where your wand can choose you. It's worth the wait in line for the "interactive experience" with a Wandkeeper at Ollivanders, before you spill out into the actual store. While we were waiting, we indulged in a bottle of "Pumpkin Juice." Even though it's tasty and a cute little plastic pumpkin sits atop the bottle, I'd have to say it's not worth the $6.
Inside Ollivanders, a pre-teen boy was picked out of the crowd as the 30-or-so of us watched the wand selection process guided by the Wandkeeper. The first two wands were not right, as one caused lights to flash on and off and the second made drawers bang in and out of the wall instead of bringing the ladder toward the boy, as the wand had been instructed to do. The third one worked like a charm, bestowing a bit of a glow around the happy boy whose wand had found him.
A variety of wands are available for purchase at several locations throughout the park. All are $28.95 plus tax.
Depending of course on the wait time for the three rides and for the stop in Ollivanders, visitors should plan on spending about four hours at the Wizarding World.
Other areas in Universal's Islands of Adventure include Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, The Lost Continent and Seuss Landing.
At Universal Studios Florida, guests can visit Production Central, New York, San Francisco/Amity, World Expo, Woody Woodpecker's Kidzone and Hollywood for more rides and exhibits.
And if you're not totally exhausted from walking the parks all day, Universal CityWalk offers an evening full of fun. You can eat and drink at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, Pat O'Brien's, Hard Rock Cafe, Bob Marley - a Tribute to Freedom, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., NASCAR Sports Grille, Latin Quarter, Pastamore, NBA City or Emeril's Restaurant Orlando. You can hear live music at Hard Rock Live and Velvet Sessions; sing karaoke with a live band at CityWalk's Rising Star; and catch the latest flick at AMC Universal Cineplex 20. The Blue Man Group also performs shows at CityWalk.
But, back to that lesson learned I referred to at the onset of this travelogue. And the happy ending.
I decided to try, try again.
The next morning we were up bright and early, got the 8:40 a.m. shuttle to the park. I took nothing with me, except for my camera, cell phone, identification and ticket. (You see, you can't take anything with you that doesn't fit in your pockets. You must place your bags in a locker prior to going on the ride; the longer line is for those who must use the locker room. And, the day before, I had mistakenly put my camera in the locker and missed all the great shots walking through the halls of Hogwarts.)
We quickly passed the right-hand line and made our way into Hogwarts in minutes. I took a good, long look at the contraption that would be whirling me around. It looked very stable. I walked with confidence onto the moving pathway that would take me to the car. I chose an inside seat, as opposed to the outside seat the day before. My shoes had straps on them; they would not be flying off my feet.
I was ready. Much more ready than the day before.
And we were off. Off on one of the most exhilarating rides of my amusement park life.
I was having fun! My eyes were open the entire time! I soared high above Hogwarts, keeping up with Harry and Hermione and Ron the whole time. I waved to Hagrid. I laughed and laughed and laughed (at times at myself for being so scared the day before). And I was sorry when the careening car came to a halt.
I walked off the ride, smiling from ear to ear.
And then I headed right into Filch's Emporium of Confiscated Goods. Today's ride did not scare the shopping out of me.

ACWORTH, Ga -- Blake Blomquist takes his dog to work every day. That's because his 2-year old Jack Russell terrier works with him. His name is "Rogue" and he is DEA certified as a drug sniffing dog.
Blomquist and Rogue are a team and work for a company called Discreet K9. Blomquist said he came up with the idea for the company when a friend's 17 year old daughter died from a drug overdose. "One of the main things that resounded through the whole process was he looked back on it and just said 'I didn't know what to do,'" Blomquist said.
He thinks Rogue can help parents like his friend to seek intervention before it's too late. "When a parent can get that proof it gives them a lot of power to get and intervention and to stop what's happening," he said.
Rogue is trained to sniff out marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. He can be hired for businesses and private schools. "If an employee has an injury as a result of another employee using drugs, that business is liable," Blomquist said. "There's not better message to send to your pool of employees than to bring a dog in on a very sporadic unannounced basis."
Typically when you think of drug sniffing dogs you think of a German Shepherd like police departments use. "I wanted a small breed canine just because he's so unobtrusive, he's not going to send chills up mama's back when I bring him through the kitchen to go upstairs to check the kids room," Blomquist said.
Rogue's reward is a green squeaky ball. "It's like a long distance love affair because he doesn't hardly ever see it but when he does it's just so much fun for him," Blomquist said.
Blomquist sees a bigger reward. "Working with a dog and having that bond with him and doing good, it's a good feeling," he said. "As a result of what he's done I've seen good changes happen for kids."
You can learn more about Discreet K9 on their website.

I've got some buddies wanting to hunt unit 444 for otc rifle this year. They heard 444 was a decent elk area & physically easy hunt. Just wondering if anyone on here has hunted this area for elk? They just want to kill a legal bull elk. They do not have horses or mules. So they are looking to hunt on foot/backpack only.
Thanks, Bryan

RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State freshman Carlos Rodon helped the Wolfpack through a rough patch early, before fellow freshman Trea Turner blew the game wide open with a bases-clearing double in the eighth to propel State to a 10-3 season-opening win over Marshall, Friday night at Doak Field at Dail Park.
"I looked up at one point and saw three freshmen batting one, two, three, and a freshman on the mound," said NC State head coach Elliott Avent. "That's when the game turned in our favor, and for those guys to be involved in that, it makes me feel good as a coach."
Rodon (1-0) threw four innings of relief to record the win, striking out seven of 15 batters faced while surrendering only one hit. The freshman gave up one unearned run and walked two after Ethan Ogburn threw the game's first four innings, surrendering two unearned runs on three hits and striking out five. Vance Williams pitched the final inning, striking out the last batter of the game.
Turner's bases loaded double in the eighth put a stamp on his 2-for-3 outing with three runs batted in, leading off the Pack lineup in his debut game. The freshman added a single and a walk as well.
Danny Canela represented the only other Wolfpacker to record multiple hits, a pair of singles to go 2-for-5 with one RBI. Shortstop Chris Diaz had a pair of RBIs on his 1-for-3 day. Freshman Jake Fincher accounted for one RBI.
"We had some mistakes in the early part of the game," said Avent. "I think some of that excitement played a part in a couple of our errors. Eventually, we were able to string some positive things together and that's what helped us win today."
Those errors played a part in the third inning, as Marshall (0-1) took an early 2-0 lead. The Thundering Herd's Sergio Leon reached first on a throwing error with two outs. Isaac Ballou singled in the next at-bat, reaching second on a throw to home that sailed high. Gary Stafford singled to score Ballou next, and advanced to second on another errant throw home.
NC State (1-0) settled down from there, scoring four runs in the fifth. Matt Bergquist ignited the inning with an infield single and a steal. Diaz knocked him in on a single to center. With two outs, Turner and Diaz had advanced to second and third when Brett Williams hustled to first on a throw that pulled first baseman Nathan Gomez off the bag for an inning-extending error. That play allowed Diaz to score, and later, Williams's pinch runner Fincher.
During the same stretch, Rodon was working magic in his first career appearance. The 6-3, 234-pound lefthander struck out the first three batters he faced before adding three more in his next two innings. Marshall could only muster an unearned run on a passed ball to make it 4-3.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Wolfpack sealed the game with six runs. Andrew Ciencin and a pinch-hitting Tarran Senay were each hit by pitches to start the inning. Bergquist laid down a sac bunt that got him aboard and scored Ciencin as Marshall committed an error on a throw to third. John Gianis walked to load the bases to set up Turner's three-RBI double down the right field line. Turner later scored as Fincher made it to first on a fielder's choice to make the final 10-3.
NC State returns to the diamond Saturday for a doubleheader, opening with Youngstown St. at 11 a.m. and wrapping up with Wright St. at 3 p.m. Live stats will be available at GoPack.com, and radio coverage will be provided by 88.1 WKNC.

|City, RLD continue back and forth on drainage options for development
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Developing south Holyoke is not a new idea. Companies have expressed interest in relocating to the area in the past, and the city's master plan actually dictates that natural growth move in that direction.
Progress has been slow, however.
The most recent plans proposed by Robin Lake Development for commercial and residential lots south and east of Cobblestone Inn & Suites in Holyoke have been delayed as it was deemed necessary to conduct studies to determine if the current O'Neal pit used to handle drainage for southwest Holyoke could take on the extra water. The pit sits east of the hotel on Rupert O'Neal's land.
With the study detailing that the pit can only currently handle 50 percent of a 100-year event, T.C. Engineering Inc. out of North Platte, Neb., was hired to offer insight into available drainage possibilities. RLD also paid for and conducted its own drainage study that would allow all drainage from the developed area to be stored in a 4.5-acre lake. The lake is capable of handling four times the amount of water of a 500-year event. The proposal includes surrounding the pond with residential lots.
Although more water would not be entering the pit from the developed area as the lake will be used, RLD aims to use the pit's current location to develop multiple residential lots.
Four options were returned to the city by T.C. Engineering Inc. to deal with the pit's low capability. Option one eliminates the existing stormwater pit and utilizes pumping only; option two reduces the existing stormwater pit size and utilizes pumping; option three involves cleaning the pit, utilizing existing pumping and extending the discharge point; and option four is to enlarge the existing stormwater pit and utilize pumping.
Options one and two were initially part of RLD's proposal made by attorney Russell Sprague—who represents O'Neal and RLD—at the Feb. 25 city council meeting, as RLD wanted to minimize the pit to develop residential lots.
According to T.C. Engineering Inc., option one requires the least amount of land but is expensive, dependent on mechanical equipment that can fail and cannot handle a larger-than-design storm event. Option two boasts a smaller piece of land than what is currently used. The pond reduces some risk associated with mechanical failure but is still expensive and includes ongoing operation and maintenance costs.
After briefly reviewing the options, Holyoke City Superintendent Mark Brown commented that options three and four are more ideal for the city as there is less risk involved.
"The perfect scenario is if the water can run to a pond with no mechanical means needed," Brown explained. "If you're constantly relying on that pump, I'm sorry, but everything mechanical has a tendency to fail sooner or later. So when does it fail? Probably in the worst-case scenario possible."
The pump would start up in option three if a 50-year event were happening, option two would require the pump to start for 10-25-year events, and the pump would start for every rainfall during option one. Brown stated that the more the pump has to be used, the greater the chance for failure.
T.C. Engineering Inc. noted that option three is the least expensive route and requires less ongoing operation and maintenance expenses but would require more land than options one and two.
Option four does not require piping work—although it is recommended—isn't as expensive as options one and two, has the least amount of ongoing operation and maintenance expenses and is the most flexible in pump-down operations. Option four does require the most land, however.
Option one has an estimated price tag of $408,000-$590,000; option two, $417,000-$599,000; option three, roughly $232,000; and option four, $297,000.
As part of the report, T.C. Engineering Inc. identified option four as the preferred choice as it has a relatively low capital cost compared to other options. It has the lowest operation and maintenance costs and offers the lowest risk to the city. A hybrid option was also suggested that includes having overflow from the pit to RLD's internal stormwater system in the lake.
"In our opinion, it would be worth further discussions with RLD about the possibility of a pond overflow in conjunction with RLD's master development plan," the study reads. "If this possibility was exercised, the risk for the City of Holyoke could be minimized as much as possible."
Some compromise by both parties may be necessary as each side looks for options that best suit the issues at hand.
"I think the preferred option is to develop that area, but throughout this whole ordeal, RLD has tried to be cooperative with the city," said Sprague.
"If the city comes back and says a combination of some of these is the best way to go, I think RLD is open to considering all of the options at this point. Clearly the preferred way is to develop that area and go forward," said Sprague.
Development is years in the making
Brown noted that the need for drainage data became more of an issue after Cobblestone Inn & Suites was constructed. With runoff from the hotel also running into the pit, the limitations of the pit became a concern.
O'Neal, owner of the land where development would take place east and south of the hotel, has had contact with the city about possibly developing the area for a number of years.
O'Neal said option three is nearly identical to a proposal he made in January of 2013 when he brought the idea of developing four residential lots east of the hotel to the city. The lots were proposed to empty into the pit in a manner similar to how the hotel's runoff enters the pit.
O'Neal stated that his proposal in 2013 was shot down because a drainage study of the 40 acres of his property was necessary.
Frustration began to mount for O'Neal because it seemed ironic to him that RLD is the only entity to have to pay for a drainage study of the area. The hotel, on the other hand, was allowed to quickly establish grading and drainage plans with little resistance, according to O'Neal. He also noted that the level the water would rise in the pit from the four residential lots was minimal compared to the amount the water rose from the hotel.
RLD's study could not be completed by T.C. Engineering Inc. until the city provided the engineering company with data regarding the water that was piped through O'Neal's property.
The city then had to pay for the study that provided the details of the drainage for southwest Holyoke. With the results indicating that no more water should be draining into the pit, RLD chose to utilize a 4.5-acre lake to handle all drainage for the area to be developed.
One important issue with the pit on O'Neal's land is that while the city has been using it for years, no official records or paperwork are available that represent an agreement between the two parties.
O'Neal stated that he also feels that the methods the city used to stop flooding west of the highway made his property more vulnerable to flooding. He speculated that the move was due to possible lawsuits the city could face if west of the highway flooded while the city was aware that the pit was unable to fully handle a major event.
O'Neal mentioned that he is not the only landowner in the drainage region. The hotel also possesses land, and there are also open areas west of the highway that could be used.
With the rainy season approaching, RLD has made it known that they feel a sense of urgency is necessary to get moving on the project.
RLD has stated throughout the process that the development offers many benefits to the city. It will create a unique variety of commercial and residential properties and a place for new business. Also, it is visually attractive, provides a property tax base and possibly sales tax revenue.
Commercial property would be along the highway, while the residential property would be east of the highway. The residential area is slated to be a covenant-controlled community to help retain the value of the area.
O'Neal has also been in contact with Phillips County Economic Development as the area could address some issues brought to light from a current survey that identified housing needs in the county, including an area for senior housing.
The two sides will meet again at the Tuesday, April 1 city council meeting.
"We have done a lot of studies, and we have the data we need to resolve the problem. Now it comes down to how are we moving forward?" Sprague asked.
"From RLD's perspective, we have done everything the city has asked us to do. We've gathered the data, we have come up with a solution. If the city doesn't want a solution that RLD has given, we need some feedback now.
"We have tried to go as far as we can go and move the ball as far as we can, and now we need the city's feedback. RLD is ready to find a solution and move cooperatively forward with all parties involved."

ATHENS, GA - Officials in Athens said the childhood home of Jamie Hood burned shortly before noon Tuesday.
Fire officials said the home, which belonged to Hood's parents for more than 20 years, was a complete loss in the blaze. Officials said the cause of the fire was under investigation.
Hood faces the death penalty for the shooting death of Athens-Clarke County Officer Elmer "Buddy" Christian and for wounding Officer Tony Howard in March, 2011. The shooting triggered a manhunt that ended when Hood surrendered before 11Alive News crews two nights later.
Though Hood has admitted to the shooting that cost Christian his life, the case against him remains in the preliminary stages. A formal arraignment is scheduled for January.

His name suggests a contemptible double-crosser, a fiend who can't be trusted.
He was nothing of the sort.
In fact, cancer is the true fink.
I wasn't lucky enough to have Conrad Fink as a professor. I left the University of Georgia Journalism School the year before his arrival. I'm only vaguely familiar with the way he lived. I'm intimately familiar with the way he died.
By all accounts, Conrad Fink's conduct as a Journalist and a Professor were consistent with his time as a member of the U.S. Marine Corps. He was rigid and serious. The former Associated Press Vice President was a molder of young men. He could slash you to pieces with his famous red pen, then reshape you with a solid mortar of encouragement and enlightenment.
It was both an honor and a terror for students who were summoned to his office. When Conrad Fink demanded your ear, it meant that you'd written something worthy of his attention. Of course, there was always the risk that your lack of focus or detail are what caught his eye. Many a promising journalist entered his sanctum trembling.
Not long ago it was my son Robert, a burgeoning journalist himself, who got the call. Robert had submitted a column to the student newspaper about his father and grandfather's struggles with prostate cancer. Conrad Fink, as it turned out, had special interest in the topic.
With a solemn tone, this war weary journalist informed my offspring that he had spent two decades battling the very same disease. He asked Robert to keep the information confidential. Only a few knew that cancer was tormenting one of the University of Georgia's treasures.
Earlier this year, prostate cancer claimed that treasure. Conrad Fink was 80.
I don't know which weapons Conrad Fink employed to stave off his foe. I'm not sure of the level of aggressiveness of his cancer or how much pain it inflicted. From what I can tell, his absences from the classroom were infrequent enough to protect his secret. Twenty years is a long time to fight anything.
I read that Conrad Fink once referred to his own death as traveling "beyond the Great Deadline." He queried his students if they would run a front page story on his departure.
In my world, Conrad Fink is worthy of attention above the fold. His gallant twenty year battle is consistent with the courage of a young journalist who carried his reporter pad into the rice paddies of Viet Nam. The fact that cancer got the final word does not overshadow the professor's impact on a profession or the thousands of eager young writers who desired to follow him.
Perhaps some of those fledgling journalist will continue to write about Conrad Fink well beyond "the Great Deadline."
Maybe they'll continue to write about the evils of a disease that dared rob us of a valued teacher.
Prostate cancer, after all, is the real fink.

Georgia man jailed on charges related to artifacts
Published: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 4:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 4:10 p.m.
A Georgia man accused of selling illegally recovered artifacts in Ocala in December 2011 was booked Thursday into the Marion County Jail.
Jacky Fuller, 54, was one of 13 people arrested by state officials late last month, including Paul Hilton, 51, of Silver Springs, for allegedly illegally recovering and selling prehistoric artifacts.
Fuller arrived at the jail at 4:35 a.m., where he was booked on local charges of unlawful sale of archaeological resources and dealing in stolen property. His bond was set at $7,500.
An arrest affidavit, signed by Judge S. Edwards-Stephens on Feb. 18, states that on Dec. 8, 2011, a state official who was working undercover talked with Fuller on the telephone about some artifacts from the St. Johns River he had purchased from Fuller on Dec. 2. During the conversation, the state official expressed interest in other artifacts Fuller might recover the next time he went diving in the St. Johns River.
Fuller told the official he already had two more boxes of items from the same site and would contact him the next time he was in Florida and show him the goods, according to a report.
The two met in Ocala on Dec. 21, 2011, and Fuller brought the boxes with him. Some of the items shown to the undercover official were an assortment of stone gouges and stone flake knives. It was determined that some of the items had been out of the river for about five or six years.
According to the report, Fuller also had other artifacts he said he bought from someone else. All of those pieces came from the Lake George area.
The undercover agent purchased nine stone river artifacts from Fuller for $200. The items were submitted to an archaeologist for an independent review, which revealed they were authentic "lithic core and grinding tools."
An Associated Press report that was published in the Star-Banner in late February stated that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission described a nearly $2 million black market in illegal historical artifacts. Items shown at a news conference in Tallahassee included dozens of arrowheads and pot shards. Maj. Curtis Brown said those arrested were the "main dealers and looters."
Hilton was charged with four felony counts.
It was not clear if there was any connection between Hilton and Fuller.
Fuller's wife answered the phone at their home in Georgia on Friday afternoon but said she could not talk as authorities had a search warrant and had been looking through her residence since 9 a.m.
Fuller declined an interview request.

Cancer is one of the major causes of death in the world (particularly the developed world), with around 11 million people diagnosed and around 7 million people dying each year. The World Health Organisation predicts that current trends show around 9 million will die in 2015, with the number rising to 11.5 million in 2030.
Cancer is the focus of much medical research, but perhaps surprisingly, mathematical research is also playing its part. Mathematician Mark Chaplain and an interdisciplinary team at the University of Dundee, have been awarded 1.7 million euros to develop a virtual model of cancer growth and spread.

Maths student poster competition just launched!
If you're a maths student and feel like enthusing the next generation with your favourite bit of maths, then why not take part in the Further Mathematics Support Programme (FMSP) and Rolls–Royce plc third national poster competition.
Undergraduate or PGCE mathematics students are invited to design a poster, individually or as a group, which conveys the essence of a mathematical topic that has been covered at university by the designer(s). The poster should be targeted at school and college students studying AS or A level mathematics. Two winners will be chosen and receive £100 each, and their designs will be printed and sent out to over 2000 schools and colleges. The closing date is the 31st of March 2010. See the FMSP website for previous winners.
If this sounds interesting, then here are the rules. The poster should be mathematically accurate, attractively laid out, capable of enriching a course in AS or A level mathematics, and likely to attract school/college students to take mathematics (or mathematics-related subjects) at university. You can design your poster in any readily available software. Ideally, the page layout should be set to 59.4cm × 42.0cm, using either landscape or portrait format. The university's logo should appear in the top left corner and there should be a space 7cm high x 5cm wide in the top right corner for the FMSP logo. The bottom 2cm of the poster should be left blank. All images should be at least 300dpi.
Entries, as well as any questions about the competition, should be emailed to Richard Browne at email@example.com. The email must include the name(s) and full contact details of the designer(s). The poster design should be attached to the e-mail, in the form of an editable file. The FMSP reserves the right to edit the winning designs before printing.
Happy designing!

Michael Green replaces Stephen Hawking in Lucasian chair
Congratulations to Michael Green who has been elected the 18th holder of the Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, one of the most prestigious academic positions in the mathematical sciences.
Isaac Newton was the second person to hold it in the 17th century, and he has been succeeded by mathematical giants including Charles Babbage, father of computer science, the theoretical physicist Paul Dirac, and of course Stephen Hawking, who has been holding the chair since 1979. Hawking stepped down from the professorship in the year of his 67th birthday, as university statutes require.
Michael Green is one of the founders of string theory, which he pioneered from the early seventies onwards. Apart from original research in the area, his contributions include the a textbook co-authored with Edward Witten and John Schwarz, which for many years remained the only string theory text book around.
Peter Haynes, Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge, said: "Michael Green has played a leading role in theoretical physics research in the department since 1993. He is internationally known as a pioneer in string theory which over the last 20 years has become one of the most important and active areas of the field. In the department he continues to make important advances in this topic and at the same time to support and inspire young researchers. His appointment as Lucasian Professor continues the very distinguished tradition of that post."

The idea that economics is all about the markets has been challenged by this year's award of the Nobel Prize in Economics. One half of the prize has gone to the political scientist Elinor Ostrom for showing that natural resources, like fish stocks or woodlands, can be commonly owned and still managed successfully. The other half of the prize has been awarded to the economist Oliver E. Williamson for demonstrating that the internal structures of firms and companies can be better at resolving conflicts than the open market. The award of the prize shows that economic theory can shed light not just on hard business transactions, but also on other forms of social organisation.

Baltimore County News
Jill Hall, Division Chief for Senior Centers
Baltimore County Department of Aging
These days, you read it in headlines all the time — "60 is the new 40" or "70 is the new 50" — but what exactly does this mean? It means that people are leading healthier lives and living longer as a result. The average life expectancy in the United States has grown by more than 10 years since 1950, and some researchers claim that babies born in the year 2000 and after will live past the age of 100.
According to the National Institutes of Health, seniors can improve their health greatly and maintain their independence by staying physically active and exercising regularly.
To help Baltimore County's senior citizens start and maintain a regular fitness routine, the Department of Aging has a diversified fitness and exercise program geared specifically to adults age 60 and older. Seniors who join this program can use any of our 13 Senior Fitness Centers, work with a certified personal trainer, and take specialized fitness classes to help them "Get Ready! Get Set! Get Fit!" and live longer, healthier and more independently.
In addition to year-round fitness, seniors can participate in special events. For instance, next month, walkers and runners of all ages can kick off Active Aging Week by participating in the Baltimore County Department of Aging's seventh annual Get Ready! Get Set! Get Fit! 5K Run/Walk — 1M Walk on Sunday, September 22, 2013, at CCBC Essex.
The Get Ready! Get Set! Get Fit! 5K Run/Walk is an intergenerational event with something for everyone. Serious runners will compete for awards in gender and age categories, as well as for placement in the top-three men and women overall. Participants who are out to enjoy the morning at a more relaxed pace will be eligible for door prizes. Everyone receives a free t-shirt, water on the course and post-race refreshments for a low cost of only $15 for senior citizens and youth and $30 for adults. Adults pay only $25 if they register before August 16.
Occurring on the first day of Active Aging Week, as well as on Fall Prevention Day, the 5K Run/Walk is a perfect way to get out and show how important exercise is for people of all ages.
Screenings will be provided by the Baltimore County Fall Prevention Coalition, and face-painting will be available to keep younger participants entertained during the awards ceremony. There will also be music by Ellis Woodward. Visit www.getreadygetsetgetfit5k.com or your local BCDA senior center for more details.
Get Ready! Get Set! Get Fit! 5K Run/Walk — 1M Walk sponsors include Cigna, Whiting Turner, CCBC Essex, Comcast, Giant, Katzen Eye Group, Medstar Franklin Square, MOM's Organic Market, Utz, Wegmans, Acclaimed Promotions, CareFirst, 93.1 WPOC, Senior Digest, Maryland Senior Olympics, Gaitway 2 Better Balance and Charm City Run.

When the City of Saratoga Springs, Utah, planned to build a new park, they knew they wanted it to be more than just a collection of fields and swing sets—they wanted to create a "destination." The newly-opened Neptune Park is just that. The park is a community gathering place and includes a playground, soccer field, two large pavilions, a restroom and maintenance building, a civic courtyard, a basketball court, pedestrian lighting, parking, and an event stage. Among the park's many beautiful amenities is the innovative playground featuring the park's namesake, a 30-foot tall climbing structure called the Neptun XXL—the first of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.

Comments about Valor Athletics Valor Fitness 8lb Rubber Hex Dumbbell (Pair):
I have the same pair of weights but heavier (10#'s) that i bought at [@] last year. Liked them so much i wanted a pair of 8#'s, so i bought them here. ([@] didnt have 8's). The minute I opened the box, they had a very strong toxic smell.... much like a "magic marker." They stink so bad that I had to put them outside to air out. After 4 days they still stink, but not as bad. The box says 'Made in China,' which is probably why they were so cheap. I would return them, but dont want to go through the hassel of lugging them to the post office and paying $15-20 in shipping. Just hope he smell goes away, then i can use them.
