As new breakthroughs in medical technology are constantly introduced, grant funding has made many of these advancements possible for Crittenton Hospital Medical Center. "We are so grateful for the partnership and support we have received from funders in the past year," says Melinda Conway Callahan, President, Crittenton Foundation. "They are helping us realize our mission: to advance programs and services, which saves lives and promotes wellness. Philanthropic support allows Crittenton to pursue new medical technologies and develop partnerships to enhance patient care."
In July, a local private foundation awarded the Crittenton Foundation a grant in the amount of $35,000 for a Hamilton G5 ventilator and corresponding neonatal equipment. This specific ventilator is used for the respiratory needs of infants with particular application for those that are premature or have low birth weight. "We are so thrilled to receive a grant for a Hamilton G5 ventilator. This innovation is widely used throughout neonatal specialty hospitals across the country. Its capabilities will make a difference in treating the respiratory needs of infants," says Conway Callahan.
The Crittenton Birthplace delivers approximately 1,200 babies each year, many which are of low birth weight or premature and require specialized ventilator care. With the advancements made possible through the Hamilton G5 ventilator, Crittenton's talented respiratory staff is able to deliver small-volume breaths to premature babies. This technology, allowing precise, monitored breaths, protects their fragile lungs from the potential damages of over ventilation.
The volume of air contained in a premature infant's lungs may be as small as 25cc, or about 5 teaspoons. The low volume strategy better allows the lungs to grow and develop as they would if not for their premature birth. "Throughout the baby's ventilator course, gentle lung care from the minute of birth decreases the chances of asthma, respiratory infections and lung health problems throughout the child's life," explains Lesa Bozek, Manager of Respiratory Care at Crittenton Hospital Medical Center. "As Respiratory Therapists, there is nothing comparable to knowing that what we do in the first few hours of a patient's life will ensure a lifetime of healthy lungs. The Hamilton G5 opens up a new era in how we treat babies here at Crittenton," says Bozek.

Daylight Saving Time 2014 is here, it rolls in during the wee hours of Sunday morning March 9, 2014. This is the beginning of Daylight Saving Time for the year and it ends on Sunday Nov. 2, 2014.
The good, the bad and the ugly of Daylight Saving Time is hashed out in debates twice each year just before the clocks change. As ABC News suggests on March 7, it is a "bittersweet switch" that signals spring but delivers a blow to your sleep."
The 23-hour Sunday offers plenty of sleepy folks on Monday morning, as getting up an hour earlier than your internal sleep clock is used to takes a toll for a few days by way of grogginess. Changing the clocks for Daylight Saving Time takes a toll on productiveness and mood. The clock change has also taken the blame for car accidents as well as injuries in the workplace.
Daylight Saving Time has even shouldered the blame for stock market dips. Dr. Alfred Lewy, the director of Oregon Health and Science University's Sleep and Mood Disorders Laboratory in Portland calls the Daylight Saving Time "an interesting paradox."
Folks traveling through times zones from one side of the nation to another get used to the time change very easily, but the Daylight Saving Time change presents with some difficulty for people, claims Lewy.
He said this is because it is about the new light-dark cycle, which is "perversely working against the body clock. We're getting less sunlight in the morning and more in the evening."
The sleep-wake cycle, which is generated by a cluster of neurons inside the brain, needs to reset every day. The signal to reset that cycle is sunlight, which is taken in through the eyes and corrects the cycle.
With Daylight Saving Time the sleep-wake cycle and the light-dark cycle don't match up, making people feel "out-of-sync." The body will adjust over time, but until it does it causes many to feel sluggish, grumpy and like they need a nap.
Lewy said you can help your body adjust by getting some early morning sunlight directly by going outside. Taking in sunlight through a window won't work. He suggests getting up and out after dawn for a little while and soak in the light.
He also said that even though you may have the urge to linger in the late sunlight on Sunday and Monday, staying out of it will help with getting your cycles back on track.
Another suggestion by this expert is to temporarily take a low-dose (less than 0.3 milligrams) of melatonin on Friday through Sunday late in the afternoon. This can help with getting the sleep-wake and light-dark cycles back in place. He warns that melatonin can render you sleepy and interfere with other drugs.
There's more to the time change than meets the eye, who would have ever thought that just an hour difference can put your sleep-wake cycle out of whack? Apparently it does and the natural sunlight plays a big part in putting the body's clock back in sync!

Nice forest scene
This is beautiful
I love it! It is amazing but I would like too also see it from a different perspective, like positioned so it's like looking down the path but you can't see past the bend. It just gives it that "mysterious" look.
this is nice...try taking it from a different prospective...it would make the image more interesting. But very pretty capture.

Chef Willem Paul Klitsie brings a breath of fresh air to downtown Vancouver, WA with Willem's on Main. This small restaurant turns out beautiful European-inspired locally-sourced seasonal plates packed with flavor and creative enough to make foodies swoon. Even better, the restaurant is open for lunch Monday - Saturday and dinner every night.
It's hard not to spot the Chef Paul as he towers somewhere north of six and half feet tall. A native of the Netherlands, he first satisfied customers with his Fratelli's restaurant in Portland's Pearl District.
Willem's on Main opened in November, 2013. It is located at 907 Main St., and the narrow doorway can be hard to spot. The space is small, with tables for two and four on the ground floor and balcony. Some of the tables are made of slices of wood in the original tree stump shape, with seating provided with scavenged theater seating. Other tables have more modern seating.
I enjoyed lunch three times at Willem's on Main with friends and solo, tasting my way through most of the lunch menu. It is split into four choices for Cold Bits, two for In Between Bits, and four for Warm Bits. The menu will change seasonally as the chef creates dishes with the best local ingredients. Freshly baked bread is provided, with oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. They have an excellent curated wine list, and a wine preservation system that allows them to offer selections by the glass.
On our first outing, my anti-beet dining companions were leery of the beets with herbed goat cheese, salami and honey. They became beet converts immediately, and ordered them again on our next visit. I didn't let them taste my bruschetta with roasted New York Strip, truffle cheese and mascarpone, I hoarded it all to myself. It's a steal at only $4.
I enjoyed the soft polenta with house-made sausage patty, but it didn't compare with the other Warm Bits. The frittata with spinach, Nuesky bacon, potato and Grada Padano cheese was delicious. But the star that had me coming back was the amazing burger. I didn't know what a burger could be before this one. The mordatella cheese and the smoked tomato are inspired. This is one burger where you savor every bite.
We also enjoyed the desserts on our second visit. They are creative, and I give good grades to the panettone bread pudding. The gelato selections were very interesting designer flavors, and the tiramisu was a modern take on the classic.
I look forward to stopping by after work for a glass of wine and bruschetta, or for their dinner menu. Entrees for dinner include locally-sourced Draper Valley chicken and Mt. Shadow Meats beef and pork.
Willem's is offering a Valentine's Day menu for $45 per person with two choices for starters and entrees. Call for reservations 360.258.0989.

Sidney Harman on Seeing Newsweek's Financials for the First Time: 'Good God!'
But the stereo magnate sees himself now as an institution builder.
Sidney Harman has some harsh words for Newsweek, the magazine he bought earlier this month, and what it's become. "I enjoy reading it," he told the Journal. "But it's a collection of essays. I'm talking about getting behind the story." When asked about his first reaction to the financials of the struggling newsweekly, he said, "How about 'Good God'? Pretty tough stuff. And not just tough in terms of the balance sheet. But the direction, the implications of it." Obviously, the 92-year-old stereo magnate is undaunted by all this and is confident he can turn it all around.
One of Harman's biggest challenges is going to be replacing the top of the masthead — with the departure of editor Jon Meacham and leading internal candidates Evan Thomas, Ted Moncreiff, and Fareed Zakaria, Harman is facing an uphill battle. This is what he says he wants:
It's critically important that we attract the new generation of writers. There are guys out in that field who are really wired in and who are themselves magnets for them. I want an editor who has a fundamental respect for the business aspects of the operation, who doesn't think this is somehow an artistic undertaking totally separate from the real world.
With Zakaria leaving for rival Time, Harman's especially going to want to go in a new direction. Alongside Meacham, Zakaria's voice was one of the most influential in shaping the direction of Newsweek. Now that he's at Time, he's probably the top candidate to replace current managing editor Richard Stengel, who has been editing the news juggernaut since 2006 and may want a new project soon. (Five years being about the average tenure for an editor there in recent decades.)
"Some skeptics have kind of nagged at this stuff. 'Come on, you're no institution builder. You're a businessman,'" Harman told the Journal. "Well, I think I've just become an institution builder."

After getting shutout in game one of the 2011 American League Division Series, the Texas Rangers looked more like their regular selves in game two as they erupted for an 8-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
It wasn't all easy for the Rangers though as the Rays struck early when starter Derek Holland walked Friday's hero Kelly Shoppach with the bases loaded to give Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The Rays would add two more in the third as Matt Joyce hit a two-out, two-run home run to right field to make it 3-0 Rays.
However, that would be the last time the Rays had the lead in this one as the Rangers erupted in the fourth inning. The inning began with Elvis Andrus being hit by a pitch and continued with consecutive singles by Josh Hamilton and Michael Young to load the bases with no outs. The Rangers would score their first run of the series when James Shields hit his second batter of the inning, Adrian Beltre. With the bases still loaded and nobody out, catcher Mike Napoli came to the plate and delivered a two-run single to left as the capacity crowd chanted "Na-po-li! Na-po-li!"
The Rangers would take their first lead of the series when David Murphy struck out but was safe at first on a wild pitch by Shields, allowing Beltre to sore to make it 4-3. Texas would add their final run of the inning when Napoli scored on a Mitch Moreland groundout to shortstop, capping a five-run fourth inning.
After having a stellar regular season, Shields was rocked for seven runs on eight hits in five innings of work. It was also game two of the ALDS last year when the Rangers knocked Shields around in a victory.
Now staked to a lead, Holland came out for the fifth and allowed a leadoff double to B.J. Upton, but no damage was done because Napoli threw out Upton trying to steal third. Holland pitched five solid innings, allowing three runs, one earned, on six hits to pick up the victory in his first career postseason start.
The Rangers would keep rolling in the sixth with consecutive singles by Napoli and Nelson Cruz and a Moreland hit by pitch. With the bases loaded and one out, Ian Kinsler delivered an opposite-field two-run double to give the Rangers a 7-3 lead. However, the Rays wouldn't go down without a fight as Evan Longoria drilled a three-run homer off Rangers' reliever Koji Uehara in the seventh to bring the Rays within one.
But that would be as close as the Rays would get as the Rangers bullpen did their job the rest of the way. Darren Oliver came in and restored order in the seventh with a 1-2-3 inning while Mike Adams did the same in the eighth. The Rangers would add an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth as Moreland sent a solo homer deep into the Arlington night to give the Rangers an 8-6 lead.
Closer Neftali Feliz came in for the ninth and allowed a walk to Upton but nothing else. Feliz topped 100mph on the radar gun as he picked up his first save of the 2011 postseason, delighting the record crowd of 51,351 at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
The series now shifts to Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay for games three and four on Monday and Tuesday. With the ALDS tied at 1, this is now a best-of-three series.

The 21-year old indoor US track record for the two mile was broken yesterday, February 12th by Bernard Lagat. New York witnessed history in the making as Lagat finished the two mile race in 8 minutes and 10.07 seconds. The previous record of 8:15.02 run by Doug Padilla in 1990.
Lagat is not stranger to holding records of various distances on the indoor track. He holds the records for distances of 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000, the mile, and now for the two mile. ""I'm so happy I have all five," Lagat said to the Associated Press. "I haven't felt this good since the world championships in Dohar last year." Dohar was where Lagat won his second gold medal in the 3,000 meter.
At the ripe age of 36, Lagat smoked the competition; one such competitior was Lukas Verzbicas, an 18-yr old #3 high school track runner of all time. This was Lagat's first attempt at running the two mile as a professional athlete. He received a $10,000 bonus from the New York Roadrunners for breaking the record and winning the race.

Flames Through Two Days At UCF Tournament
March 3, 2012
ORLANDO, Fla. - The UIC softball team (9-9/0-0 Horizon League) swept the competition on the first day of the UCF & Holiday Inn Select Spring Fling Friday at the UCF Softball Complex in Orlando, Fla.
The Flames served as the home team in the contest against Jacksonville Saturday. The Dolphins began the game by scoring one run in the first inning and four runs in the second inning to jump out to an early 5-0 lead over UIC.
Jacksonville went on to score one more run in the fourth inning, which would be the final run either team would score in the game as the Dolphins ran away with a 6-0 victory.
Jacksonville compiled 12 hits in comparison to the Flames' five. There were five UIC members who posted a hit a piece. Among the five, Coryn Schmit (Hawthorn Hills, Ill./Lake Zurich), Jacki Fletcher (Lowell, Ind./Lowell), Ashley Hewett (La Palma, Calif., John F. Kennedy), Teresa Aguilar (Chicago, Ill./Loyola Academy) and Courtney Heeley (Glendale, Ariz./Greenway).
The Knights scored four runs in the bottom of the second inning to jump out to an early lead. The UCF squad then added an additional three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to extend its lead to 7-0.
Four Flames members, Melinda Macias (Chino, Calif./Don Antonio Lugo), Schmit, Fletcher and Komp (Joliet, Ill./Joliet West) logged hits in the contest with UCF.
UIC had opportunities with runners in scoring position on eight different occasions during the game, but were unable score.
The Flames combined for 10 hits in the duration of the two contests.
The Flames conclude play at the UCF & Holiday Inn Select Spring Fling Saturday at 10:00 a.m. (CT) against Stetson. Follow the team on Twitter (UICSoftball) for in-game updates, in addition to Game Tracker.

There's a saying "all good things must come to an end."
While that may have been the case for the 2008-09 Bulldog women's basketball team on Saturday night, there's no doubt that this is not the end for Fresno State and coach Adrian Wiggins. The future is very bright.
Fresno State lost its NCAA tournament opening round game against No. 12 Cal in a match-up of teams allotted for the Trenton Regional. The Dogs were the No. 13 seed in the region, while the Bears were the No. 4 seeded team. Cal won 70-47 at the Galen Center on the USC campus.
Bulldog guard LaShay Fears matched her career-high of 18 points in the game, making good on 6-of-9 field goal attempts. She was the only Bulldog in double figures. She showcased her athletic ability against a team that has been ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation this season.
For the two-time defending WAC champion Bulldogs, this was one loss in a terrific season.
"We can still appreciate we won 24 games and we were WAC champions," said Fears. "We appreciate that."
Wiggins has led the Dogs to the only two NCAA tournament appearances in school history. The building blocks of talented players both already in the program and those committed to attending Fresno State, will no doubt allow Wiggin's prediction for NCAA tournament wins to come true in the near future.
"We have a great group of young ladies and a lot of good players returning next year," said Wiggins. "I'm excited about where our program's at right now. What you have to do is look at who we play. I've been voting on the coaches' poll all year so I know the caliber of team Cal is. They've been in the Top 10 the whole year. We have to become a team that through our non-conference schedule needs to improve our seed in the tournament. We're thankful where we are at and we will continue to grow. But, we need to move down into a 10 seed, a nine seed and go from there. We will get it done."
The nation's top three point shooting team, the Bulldogs could not muster much of a perimeter game. Fresno State made 4-of-18 three point attempts in the game. The Dogs entered the game leading the NCAA at 9.5 threes per game.
The Bulldogs trailed by nine points 30-21 at the half, the largest margin of the game for the Bears in the half. Fresno State shot just 33% from the floor in the half and had made just one three-point field goal on five attempts.
The Bears started the second half on a 14-2 run to take a 44-23 lead. Fresno State battled but could not recover from such a large deficit.
Fresno State attacked on the boards against the much bigger Bear line-up, earning a slight edge 38-36. The Dogs led the WAC in rebound margin this season.
Fresno State's leading scoring Jaleesa Ross, held scoreless in the first half, got on the board with 9:20 mark in the second half when she drained a three pointer.
"They (Cal) did a good job of putting pressure on our perimeter and stopped us from doing some of the things we like to do," said Wiggins. "We missed a lot of layups. We had too many opportunities we missed and that took confidence away from us early in the game. Cal can match-up with any team in the country and we battled them and matched up against them defensively. It's hard to analyze after a loss, but I'm excited about that."
Ross, just a sophomore, is the two-time WAC Tournament MVP and has been Fresno State's leading scorer for the majority of the season at 13.8 points per game. She finished with eight points in the game.
"Give credit to Fresno State," said Cal coach Joanne Boyle. "They came in with a great game plan and played hard. Adrian (Wiggins) has done a great job with that team. Our goal was to survive and advance and that's what it is."
Fresno State (24-9, 12-4 in the WAC) capped an historic season, with a school-record tying 24 victories, second straight WAC regular season and tournament championship, and once again among the West Coast leaders in fan attendance. It marked the second straight NCAA tournament appearance for the Bulldogs, who have won 24 games in two of the last three seasons.
The Dogs return all-five starters next season led by Ross and Hayley Munro, both All-WAC selections, and Joh-Teena Filipe, Marnique Arnold and Fears.
Join the State - Fresno State! The Bulldogs concluded the 2008-09 season in the NCAA Tournament Trenton Regional against the No. 12 Cal Bears. Follow gobulldogs.com for more Bulldog women's basketball news.

When hosting a summer party, Elise from Grow Creative decked out her backyard with beautiful lanterns made from recycled tin cans. Elise froze her cans first to better hold their shape as she punched away with a hammer and nails.
I love the look of multiple lanterns clustered together and think they would create a great outdoor ambience as the summer evenings cool down and give way to crisp fall nights. I know I am thinking a bit ahead, but I can also see a collection of orange and black cans making a great Halloween display while trick-or-treaters are out and about.

The art of grilling a perfect steak is more than just meat to flame. The balance of seasoning and the cooking to a precise medium can make any cut of meat sublime. Why ruin all the effort with juices escaping from the carefully cared meat. The Architec Housewares Concave Cutting Board is the solution to keeping meat succulent.
The Architec Housewares Concave Cutting Board has an unique design featuring a concave center. The center reservoir holds up to 1/4 cup of liquid to keep meats juicy. The Gripper technology on the bottom keeps the cutting board still while slicing through the meat.
Any good grill master understands a key component to tasty meat is keeping the juices inside. Cut the meat too soon and all the flavor and goodness oozes out of the grilled meat. While this cutting board can't control when the user cuts the meat, it can help keep all the juices pooled under the meat itself. Instead of diverting juices into channels, the concave cutting board helps keeps the flavor in the meat through the design.
Large enough for a smoked brisket or a hearty steak, this cutting board is perfect for the chef or grilling enthusiast. Due to the specific design, it would be suggested to use this cutting board just for meats.
The Architec Housewares Concave Cutting Board retails for $59.99.

My son admitted his drug use
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Last night I caught my fifteen year old son smoking marijuana in the garage. He acted remorseful and gave me is pipe and very small stash. After a long talk he said he would give it up completely (yeah, right). He also admitted smoking every day - in my day that would make someone a pretty chronic user (as I was decades ago). I'm trying to get some advice on how to proceed from here.
Can anyone share their experience?

hi chuck,
we are going through the same thing with my 15 yr old stepson. for the last year it has been a downward spiral for him. he smokes ciggs and pot as far as i know, nothing else. he would steal money from us to buy it. was getting high before school and completely flunked the last 2 terms.
the night before easter, him and his father had a big fight and he ran away. they found him on the bridge and he said he wanted to jump. he stayed at a hospital for 2 weeks and then had out-patient for another 2 weeks. he was doing real good for a couple of weeks but now he is starting to skip classes again, caught him smoking a few times too plus he lies like there's no tomorrow.
he sees a psychiatrist and a therapist plus he is on a mood stabilizer and an anti-depressant. of course his friends are just like him. i don't know what advice to give you except maybe try giving him some kind of reward to work towards. talk to him about why does he feel like he needs to get high. did it start off as doing something because the other kids did or maybe he feels stressed out about something. maybe a therapist could help with that.
it's a tough situation, but i think talking to him and showing him your support will help tremendously.
best of luck,

I don't have any GOOD advice to give, probably, but what I've done at times like this is reflect back on my own past. It gives me some faith that a little smoking is not the end of the world, and that my son can and probably will still turn out alright.
He's not smoking pot, but my son has been indulging in cigarettes here and there.
When I was in high school,I smoked, but boy did I HIDE It!
I knew it wasn't anyhthuing worth getting into trouble about because I didn't like it that much, but taht if my mom knew the reality would change from it being "just a phase" thing/something I wanted to experience privately (being a 'bad" girl) into "woops has a problem! O no!!!"
So, I say, what made you quit? Why were you doing it? What were your thoughts on it at the time? WHat are your thoughts on your own behavior now?
Me, I am glad I gave myself the freedom and independence to do something outside of my usualy self. I got explore the other side, safely, in high school....
Maybe the world has changed, but wonder how much.
So-- blah... there you go. I said it wouldn't be good advice hey!

I have not crossed that bridge yet but I wanted to offer my support. I think talking about it with him is the first step. Yeah he can get another pipe and another bag of drugs...but maybe he won't. I used to be a recreational smoker. It was heavily driven by my friends. Maybe help him run in a better circle? I can't help but think if he knew the negative impact of marajuana and had other things to do, he would give it up. Or at least you would find out how chronic his use is.
If he can't give it up, maybe find a support group to help him stop. Narcotics anonomous perhaps?
I applaud you for having a good conversation with him. I think that is a great sign of a strong parent.

Personally, I like woopsadaisy's advice, think about yourself when you smoked; why were you smoking and what made you quit?
Just as important, how do you feel about pot now? Do you think it's 'evil', do you think it's okay on the weekend (like having a drink), etc.?
And then use that as a jump point to talk openly and honestly with your son and find out WHY he is smoking.
My oldest daughter smoked pot in high school and at 25 now has no interest in it. It may have helped that I didn't make a big deal about it when I found out. I didn't make it a taboo, although I set some rules, NEVER before school or around family; always at home, after homework and chores were done. AND if I knew of any of her friends smoking I would give the child time to tell their parents, and then I would let their parents know.
My philosophy with all my children, if you are doing something you don't want me to find out about and/or are too embarrassed to talk to me about...then you shouldn't do it. I have told them that if they are going to make 'grown up' decisions to drink, smoke, do drugs or have sex, they better be grown up enough to admit to it and to be able to talk about it.
I have 4 kids, 25, 15, 13 and 3, conversations happen all the time about smoking, sex, drugs and drinking. We, my husband and I, take every opportunity to have open and honest discussions with them. Last year, a classmate died of an overdose during a camping trip and we talked about it and drugs. This year they had sex education classes and came home and talked about what they learned, and even researched more after we talked.
I believe the first line of defense on smoking, drinking, drugs and sex is to have well informed children and for them to be able to talk openly and honestly about what they think.

My sons going through the same thing and it all comes down to the company he keeps. If he wants to do it he will and will find a way. I've limited my sons going out filed a chins (with the court) and informed him of the dangers but ultimately it is his choice and if he chooses to do it there really is only so much you can do. I feel your pain believe me.

Thanks so much for all of your input.
While my son admitted smoking pot previously he said he was only experimenting with it. He also said he tried alcohol and cigarettes as well. His experimentation with all of that doesn't alarm me as much as actually catching him doing it and then telling me he smoked nearly every day. I was naively blindsided - stupid me.
Curiously it seemed he actually WANTED me to catch him. That particular night he was spending an unusual amount of time in the garage and when I went out to check on him the first time, he was digging around through boxes. I asked him what he was looking for but only said he was looking for "something". I thought he was having a typical teenager moment, so I let him have some space.
About 45 minutes later he came in to ask if I knew when some sandpaper was for his skateboard. The second I stepped into the garage I could smell it. I asked him if he had been smoking and he immediately went to his stash and gave it to me. I can see now he actually wanted me to know what he was doing, but I have no idea why.
My wife and I are divorced (five years) but live within walking distance of each other. We have joint custody, get along (now), and very involved in his life. My son and I have a very good relationship and have very frank discussions about sex, relationships, drugs, etc. Although I think he was digging for attention, I don't know why he felt he had maneuver me into catching him.
At this point I almost feel like I have to drug test him just to see if he's serious about giving it up. I don't want to overreact to the incident but I have to take some kind of action.
Again, thanks for all your help!

I think you did the right thing Chuck. I wonder if he wanted you to catch him to give him a point of check while he tries to stop. Maybe he wants to tell his friends a big story about how you "busted him" and he had to turn it all over to you and can't do it anymore. It is tough to say. Either way, at least it is out and open to talk about.
I think drug testing is extreme but if you suspect he is still using, you could go that route. If he is, what would be your next step? Rehab? Call the cops? I would think about what you are willing to do if he doesn't stop. It sounds to me like you aren't terribly concerned about the actual smoking so much as him "wanting to get caught". Have you considered sitting down and asking him why he made it so easy to be caught? What is he looking for from you?

I am so sorry to hear you are facing these challenges. We went through the same thing with our son. We turned a blind eye to the pot because we thought it was the lesser of many evils, but we were wrong. After many battles, him running away and getting arrested, it all came down to me pressing charges and getting him the help he needed. If I would have done it sooner I might have avoided heartache, maybe. I think they have to finally see that they have to give up friends and all attachments to anything relating to their drug related behavior.
It is not an easy road and I know you have a long one ahead of you. Hang in there it will get better. Just remember you giving him to the law is better than having to plan his funeral. So many mothers and fathers have lost their child to this terrible trend.
Good luck and God Bless

I'm sorry that you are dealing with a child doing drugs, I'm a teenager myself and I'm sorry to admit it but all kids experiment with drugs, I don't mean hard drugs but marijuana is one that most kids try, punishing and yelling doesn't really do anything, except make a child afraid to tell there parents or talk to them. You seem like a good dad, but you should understand that kids will be kids and kids will do stupid things its important to just tell them about how it can lead to awful things.

Good start.
The basic way teenagers fund their drug use is stealing. Assume that any accessible monies will go for pot and decide whether you want to fund that drug use. If not, you must develop a way to keep your wallet, your wife's purse, and any monies siblings have, out of access. You must also assume that any monies designated for books, clothes, school activiites, if given in the form of cash, will likewise be used for drugs.
Try to otherwise maintain a good relationship with your kids. Be loving, interested in their activities. Try to find things they like.
Encourage healthy activities.
Don't argue when a kid is high or coming off being high; it can be potentially dangerous.

I have been working with a client over the last several weeks to redesign her entire main floor on a somewhat modest budget. One of the biggest challenges in any design is allocating budget and knowing what items to spend your money on, what items to save on and when to reuse and repurpose items. Here are some tips I've been using for keeping your designs in style and on budget.
1. Put your money where it counts
When allocating your budget, think about the pieces that will have the biggest impact on the room, and need to hold up over time. For me, that is always the sofa, soft seating and one or two other large furniture items. If you skimp on your sofa, you will likely notice a difference in quality. Where as if you purchase a less expensive side table or give a fresh coat of paint to an existing coffee table, the impact on the room will be far less substantial. It doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune on furniture, you can still find furniture at a great price, check out some of my favorite sofas for every budget.
2. Make your designs do double duty
My client wanted to add some architectural interest to a boring hallway and also needed a place for her daughters to hang their backpacks. So we opted to build some wainscoting that pulled double duty as coat hooks and a place to put on shoes. Make sure your designs are functional and work for your space. Let them solve a problem to improve the flow of your home and make your daily routines easier.

3. Update your Lighting
If you are updating an entire room, it can be impossible to purchase EVERYTHING brand new. A great way to update lighting without having to purchase all new lamps is to change out the shade. Adding a modern drum shade like this one from LampsPlus is great way to give a modern and fresh look.
4. Shop Flash Sales
Some of my favorite resources for purchasing decor have emerged in just the last couple years with flash sale sites. These sites usually run sales for a few days at a time, with great discounts to products. You do need to act quickly, but if you have already come up with a good plan for your space, you can purchase with confidence when a good sale strikes you! My favorite flash sales sites are:
5. Paint
One of the easiest updates to any space is paint. Don't underestimate the impact a new color can have on a space! Because paint is one of the more less expensive ways to update a space, I think it is worth purchasing a higher quality paint. I used to find whatever brand was cheapest at Home Depot or Lowes, but recently I have been working with paints from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams, and there is a huge difference in how the paint goes on and looks when dry. When you find the paint color you want to try, pinterest it to see how it looks in other peoples spaces. It always looks a little different based on rooms and lighting, but it will give you a good idea of what the color looks like throughout a space.
6. Go Shopping in Your Home
One of the easiest ways to change the look of your rooms is to pull from other pieces within your home. Mix up your accessories, swap our floor rugs, change the art on walls and see your items in a new light.
7. Don't forget the details
By the time you come to the end of a redesign, you might be running out of steam. But this is the most essential part! Don't overlook the impact that accessories and styling can have. Arrange interesting vignettes using family photos, fresh flowers and favorite pieces of art. Take a can of spray paint to an old vase or find some vintage treasures at your local thrift shop to give an eclectic finish.

Cardinal girls make state for first time since 2003, boys earn first berth since 2004
November 1, 2012 | Vol. 116 -- No. 28
Gene Blankenship has proven he's a pretty good cross country coach.
Now he might add clairvoyant following both of his Medical Lake teams qualifying for this Saturday's state meet at Pasco.
The Cardinals finished second in the boys' and third in girls' competition. "That was basically what I predicted in the preview," Blankenship reminded. "I was real pleased."
It's been nearly a decade since the last Medical Lake team qualified to run at state. The girls' team made it to state in 2003 and it was 2004 for the boys. Nine Cardinal runners from each team will be at Sun Will...

outsourced by the outsourcers
wonder how low the pay cheque will be.
IT spending in APAC will grow by nearly eight per cent over the coming year to $743bn, with Western markets set to benefit eventually as successful Asian firms expand and hire abroad, according to analyst outfit Gartner. The firm forecast spending in APAC to increase 7.8 per cent year-on-year in 2013, more than double the …
wonder how low the pay cheque will be.
We'll probably have to pay them.
There is China where a high tech enterprise can only set up shop by creating a joint venture with a local company. In India by law bank transactions have to be processed inside India.
Because there is now a growing requirement to convert legacy business processes that are highly manual to IT operations you think the US and the EU will benefit from it? Maybe only for 3 - 6 months, and only to consult on laws and industry legislations they will need to observe when doing business in the West.
We're in a world where even medical X-ray pictures are taken here but analyzed in India, accounting is on the Phillippines, the hardware is made in China and HR and the helpcentre is again in India. R&D is again in China and software development is in India.
We will not win much by a growth in IT spending in APAC.
We will win by creating Galileo.
We will win by abandoning the dreadful, outdated, old technologies, such as the TCP/IP protocol (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/17/ip_security_review/).
We will win by developoing new technologies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_Framework_Programme).
We will win by introducing a law which forces multinational high tech enterprises to create a joint venture with a local company and a law which mandates that bank transactions are processed within the US respectively the EU.
Hey girl, take a look at my Big Data!

Photofacials have gained popularity in recent years, as the use of laser and light technology in skin care has gained momentum. These treatments offer numerous anti-aging benefits, and are minimally invasive. Incorporating photofacials into your skin care routine is an easy way to see strong results without serious pain or discomfort.
Tara Hall, MPAS, PA-C of Southwest Cosmetic Dermatology Associates in Fort Worth says photofacials are popular with her patients.
"A photofacial in our office is performed using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). This is a light treatment that delivers a sensation that a rubber band has been popped on the skin, " she says.
Designed to treat redness of the face including broken blood vessels from sun damage and unsightly, brown pigmentation, patients will see the strongest results when completing photofacials in series.
"A series of 5 treatments, one month apart is required to see the full effects from the treatments. We also perform microdermabrasions in between each treatment of the initial series to help aid in exfoliation of the skin." says Hall.
Hall also recommends maintenance treatments every six months to sustain results. Additionally, good skin care habits can extend the life of photofacial results. Consistent use of sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30 is critical, says Hall. In fact, she recommends reapplication throughout the day, especially if spending significant time outdoors. She also advocates the use of C-Topical antioxidants such as Vitamin C or the the use of a prescription Retin A treatment.
It is important to note the difference between IPL photofacials and LED photofacials. The latter is likely to be performed at spas, and is non-invasive. LED photofacials leverage spectrum light to boost collagen production, leading to younger looking skin. IPL treatments, like those performed at Southwest Cosmetic Dermatology Associates, are commonly performed in a physician's office. These photofacials can be slightly uncomfortable, and medical professionals may suggest the use of a numbing cream prior to the treatment.
Southwest Cosmetic Dermatology Associates is located at 4365 S. Hulen Street in Fort Worth. To schedule an appointment, call 817.920.9023.

The Columbus Crew are atop the Eastern Conference standings in Major League Soccer, and are the last team in the league with a perfect record. Justin Meram ensured their latest victory with a sublime shot in injury time to lift the Crew over Seattle. Federico Higuain began the comeback midway through the second half, converting a penalty kick after center back Djimi Traore was ejected.
The game was frequently sloppy, as the rainy conditions and less-than-ideal artificial turf put both teams under duress. The central midfield pairing of Tony Tchani and Wil Trapp was less effective than they had been in the team's opening two games, with several giveaways putting the defense under immediate pressure. Seattle opened the scoring on just such an occasion, with Kenny Cooper leading a counterattack down the field and shooting past Steve Clark into the far side netting.
Columbus spurned two glorious chances to equalize late in the first half when Federico Higuain's chipped attempt over Stefan Frei - reminescent of his best efforts from 2013 - clipped the face of the crossbar instead of dropping in. Bernardo Anor, waiting in the goal mouth for just such a rebound, put his headed shot inches wide of the right post.
Gregg Berhalter's men calmed down in the second half, making better passing decisions and limiting the Sounders' opportunities for quick counterattacks.
The game changed dramatically just before the hour mark when Seattle captain and center back Djimi Traore was ejected for a reckless challenge on Dominic Oduro. Oduro, who had shrugged past Traore in the penalty area and had only Frei to beat, was scythed down by Traore in textbook fashion. Referee Allen Chapman immediately pointed to the spot, and gave Traore his walking orders. Higuain duly converted the penalty kick with a powerful shot to Frei's left.
In order to shore up their defense, Seattle was forced to replace Kenny Cooper with former Fire defender Jalil Anibaba, blunting their own attack in an apparent attempt to salvage a home draw. Columbus, for their part, smelled blood in the water and put together a dominating show of possession - at times holding the ball for 90% of the game as measured by the league's statistics service.
The Sounders countered the Crew's pressure with another defensive substitution, removing Obafemi Martins in favor of Leo Gonzalez for the game's closing minutes. Instead it was a Columbus substitute, Justin Meram, who scored the dramatic winner. Receiving a corner kick from Higuain at the top of the penalty area, Meram curled an incredible right-footed shot past a handful of Sounders defenders.

Mary Virgina Jones, now 74, was released from Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California yesterday for a murder committed over 32 years ago by her boyfriend.
For years Jones maintained that she "did not willingly participate in the crime." Her case was picked up by the University of Southern California's Post-Conviction Justice Project.
They challenged the controversial case asserting that Jones' boyfriend, Mose Willis, kidnapped two drug dealers and forced the woman to drive to an alley, where he shot both men. One of them was killed.
"She ran down the alley fully expecting him to shoot and kill her, too," said Heidi Rummel, co-director of the Post-Conviction Justice Project and the supervising defense attorney on the case.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
A week before the murder, Willis shot at Jones"s daughter, Denitra Jones-Goodie, and threatened to kill both of them if they contacted police, according to defense attorneys.
"He pulled a gun on me and shot at me, and my mother witnessed that," said Jones-Goodie. "And he threatened to not only kill me but to kill her and anybody else that came to our aid."
Willis was sentenced to capital punishment but died waiting on death row.
Mary Virginia Jones' case is not uncommon. On March 11, Glenn Ford who had been on death row for 30 years was released from a Louisiana prison for a murder he didn't commit.
"After 30 years, Louisiana's longest-serving death row prisoner will get his freedom soon," Amnesty International USA senior campaigner Thenjiwe Tameika McHarris said in a statement shortly before his release.
"Glenn Ford is living proof of just how flawed our justice system truly is. We are moved that Mr. Ford, an African-American man convicted by an all-white jury, will be able to leave death row a survivor."

"Evil Dead" fans be excited because today, July 28, Rolling Stones reported that it's going to become a TV series. This is huge news that has been buzzing around the internet.
The original movie's director Sam Raimi, his brother Ivan, and Bruce Campbell are said to be going to be writing the series. Campbell also confirmed to a fan on Twitter, that it's the plan that he stars in the new show. That just adds more excitement to fans.
Sam Raimi made this announcement about the TV series at the San Diego Comic-Con, where he was also discussing the movie adaptation of the video game, "The Last of Us."
The film "The Evil Dead," was released in 1981, and the film spawned two sequels, "The Evil Dead II," and "Army of Darkness." All three starred Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams. Since then the films created a large cult following. People enjoy the mix of gore and slapstick comedy together.
In 2013, "The Evil Dead," was remade by director Fede Alvarez. Campbell did a cameo for "Evil Dead" and he also produced it with the original director, Sam Raimi. The movie was pretty well received by fans and critics alike.
Raimi is no newcomer to working for TV either, he produced episodes for many successful and cult TV shows like:
- "Hercules: Legendary Journeys"
- "Xena: The Warrior Princess"
- "Mantis"
- "American Gothic"
- "Spy Game"
- Cleopatra 2525
- "Young Hercules"
- "Jack of All Trades"
- "Spartacus: Blood and Sand"
- "Spartacus: War of the Damned"
So this is big news for fans of Sam Raimi and his creation "The Evil Dead." Recently there has been a small surge of movies made into a TV series. "From Dusk Till Dawn," and "Fargo" are just two shows that recently have aired.
Are you excited about the new "Evil Dead" TV series? Share your thoughts below on this news!

City of Portsmouth Announces Horton as Fire Chief
City Manager Kenneth L. Chandler announces the selection of Don J. Horton as the Fire Chief for the City of Portsmouth. Horton will begin in the Fire Chief position on April 27, 2009.
"I am pleased that Don Horton will join the City of Portsmouth as our Fire Chief. He has almost three decades of experience in fire service and fire administration and a keen focus on community engagement and service delivery to citizens. He will be a great addition to the management team and to our excellent staff of firefighters, emergency medical service paramedics, and administrative staff," said Chandler.
The selection process included Dr. Demetria M. Lindsay, Health Director of the Portsmouth Public Health Department and Ms. Susan MacLeod, Executive Vice President/Administrator of Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center as external panel members. Horton becomes the first African-American Fire Chief appointed to succeed Beck Barfield, the first African-American Deputy Fire Chief who has served as the Interim following the retirement of Newell Whitehead.
Horton, a Richmond native, is currently the Fire Chief for the City of Pine Bluff, Arkansas and has a career of over 28 years in fire service. Prior to joining the Pine Bluff Department as Chief in 2007, Horton's career began in 1980 as a firefighter for the City of Richmond's Department of Fire and Emergency Services.
In 1987, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and to Captain in 1990, coordinating all fire service functions of his fire station, and later becoming the department's first public information officer. During Horton's career in firefighting and fire administration, he has been responsible for a variety of fire prevention and community outreach programs including Project Safe Place, providing Richmond's fire stations as places where troubled youth could go to receive help. In addition, he developed the department's first mentorship program for Richmond's public school students.
Horton has held a variety of increasingly more responsible positions in fire administration that have given him a comprehensive background and knowledge of firefighting and fire administration. As the Fire Marshal for the City of Richmond for more than four years, Horton was responsible for enforcing the fire prevention ordinances of the City and directing fire safety policy. In addition, he also was responsible for the Department's full compliance with the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code. Of the major accomplishments of the staff of the Fire Marshal's Office during his tenure, in 2005, the City of Richmond had no fire-related fatalities, a statistic that had not been achieved in 20 years.
During his last four years with Richmond, Horton served as the Deputy Chief and Fire Operations Chief. He directly supervised three Senior Battalion Chief Officers in the coordination of work activities for 383 fire personnel delivering services from 20 fire stations.
His professional recognitions include Junior Officer of the Year in 1992 and 1998 and Support Services Officer of the Year in 1998. In 2000 he received the Life Safety Achievement Award and was distinguished as a noted Richmond Public Schools Role Model.
While Fire Chief in Pine Bluff, the Fire Department has revised their Smoke Detector Program, conducted a Home Fire Safety Survey, offered blood pressure screenings, and implemented a Fifth Grade Fire Education Program through projects themed, "Focused on the Community". In addition, the department has developed the Fire Placard System for Vacant Structures and started an Annual Vacant Structures Fire Symposium. These preventive measures have helped produce an almost 25 percent reduction in vacant structure fires in Pine Bluff.
Horton is committed to service to the community. "My belief is that every decision that we make, every developed strategy, and every idea should have a positive outcome measure in improving the community. As a fire professional, it is important that we reach out to businesses, associations, and other groups to assist us in our service to the community. When municipalities and the private sector collaborate, it allows both to leverage resources and assets to meet the needs of our citizens while improving our service delivery," said Horton.
Horton received a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from Averett University in Danville and an Associate's Degree in Fire Science from J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College in Richmond. He is married to Shirley Horton and has a daughter, Sherri', a son, Dion, and a grandson, Blair.
