5 People More Likely to Develop Salivary Gland Stones
Salivary gland stones occur when tiny calcium, chemical, or debris deposits form into a rock-like shape in one of the three salivary glands in the mouth. These stones can develop in all three major salivary glands and oftentimes blocks the flow of saliva. While some may experience no symptoms of having salivary gland stones, others may experience facial pain, swelling, redness, dry mouth, and difficulty swallowing. At the CENTER for Advanced Parotid Surgery, salivary gland surgery expert Dr. Larian has years of training and experience in treating patients experiencing salivary gland stones.
Who Is Most Likely to Develop Salivary Gland Stones?
Stones in the salivary gland affect 1 out of every 100 adults. The exact cause of salivary stones is still unknown by doctors, but over the years they have determined that salivary gland stones are most commonly found in some people more than others. Men are twice as likely to develop salivary stones than women. People who have previously had salivary stones are more likely to get them again. Five other groups that are more likely to develop salivary gland stones include those who:
- Are older
- Have endured trauma or sustained an injury to that area
- Have kidney disease
- Suffer from Gout or Sjögren's Syndrome
- Have undergone radiotherapy in the head and neck
What is the Best Treatment for Salivary Gland Stones?
At the CENTER for Advanced Parotid Surgery, Dr. Larian provides relief for patients suffering from salivary gland stones through the most advanced and effective techniques. To remove salivary gland stones, Dr. Larian can perform endoscopic salivary gland surgery called sialendoscopy. This minimally invasive outpatient procedure allows Dr. Larian to remove the salivary gland stone with no external scarring and no surrounding tissue damage. During the sialendoscopy procedure, a small endoscope enters the salivary duct and removes the salivary gland stone. Patients are often able to return home the same day as the procedure and enjoy a quick recovery.
Who Should Perform Salivary Gland Surgery?
It is ideal for patients to undergo a sialendoscopy from a board-certified head and neck surgeon, as they have the most training and experience treating that area of the body. Further, patients should seek a salivary gland expert who specializes in treating patients who suffer from salivary gland disorders. At the CENTER for Parotid Surgery, Dr. Larian has expertise in performing surgery on the salivary glands and is recognized as a leader in the field of salivary and parotid gland surgery.

College Hockey:North Dakota sweeps Minnesota on the road
Sara Dagenais scores two as Sioux take over first in WCHA
In a major step forward for the program, the No. 8 North Dakota Fighting Sioux swept the No. 3 Minnesota Golden Gophers with a 3-1 win Saturday night in front of 921 at Ridder Arena. The win put the Sioux into first place in the WCHA, and is the second straight win for the Sioux against the Gophers after 28 consecutive losses. It also marked the first time since January 5-6, 2007 that the Gophers were swept at home, when the Wisconsin Badgers managed the feat.
Monique Lamoureux-Kolls scored at 3:36 in the first period on a four-on-four attempt when she fired a shot top-shelf that beat Gophers goalie Alyssa Grogan, who finished with 15 saves.
The Gophers knotted the score at one when Kelly Terry scored her second goal in two games at 7:32 of the first.
However, Sioux forward Sara Dagenais continued her strong play on the weekend and scored at 10:12 to give the Sioux the lead.
In the second period, the Sioux depended on the strong play of goalie Stephanie Ney, who finished with 24 saves. Ney stopped a barrage of Gophers shots in the period, 12 in all, preserving the lead.
Dagenais struck again at 3:55 of the third period on a power play to give the Sioux a two-goal lead, the first time all weekend either team led by two. The Sioux defense held strong, blocking several shots and holding the Gophers to only three shots in the period.
The Sioux travel to Minnesota State next weekend for a pair of games, while the Gophers travel to St. Cloud for two games.

Dozens of Victims (and One Beneficiary) Speak on Madoff
The victims have spoken. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan on Monday filed with U.S. District Judge Denny Chin statements from 113 alleged victims of Bernie Madoff's massive fraud. The filing was made in advance of the sentencing for Madoff, slated for June 29. Click here for the filing.
The letters, called "victim-impact statements," range in length from one paragraph to several pages. Most contain personal tales of loss brought on by Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
The plight of Morton Chalek of Port Jefferson Station, N.Y., was typical: "I am 86 years old. I have a broken knee, I have lung cancer and thanks to Madoff, I am now bankrupt."
Mr. Chalek said he saved money for his seven children's college tuition. "According to Madoff's last statement for November 2008, I had $2,300,000 in my family account, $1,200,000 of which was mine personally. Two weeks later, I was bankrupt." Now he says he is forced to live on his social security income.
Ira Sorkin, Madoff's lawyer, declined to comment.
And what's with the picture? So glad you asked. According to this article in the Jewish Daily Forward, the man on the left, Paul Cohen, has been chosen to play Bernie in an upcoming feature film called: "Madoff: Made Off with America."
"Being a salesman all my life, it's like a first cousin to acting," said Cohen, who sells advertising space at the Hudson Reporter in Jersey City. He will begin filming later in June.
Cohen, who will go by the stage name Paul Cole, learned about Edmund Druilhet's movie when he read a Page Six item in the New York Post announcing auditions for Madoff lookalikes. Cohen sent in photos, and he was later called for a screen test in Los Angeles.

UMass Baseball Drops Opener At #18 UCF, 16-4
March 10, 2012
ORLANDO, Fla. - The UMass baseball team scored four runs on eight hits, but could not recover from allowing seven in the in the bottom of the first, dropping the 2012 season opener at nationally-ranked #18 UCF on Friday night, 16-4. Following the setback, the Minutemen are 0-1 to start the season, while the Knights improve to 11-4.
UCF capitalized on three walks, a hit batter and two errors in its opening turn at bat, scoring seven times on three hits. Chris Taladay drove in two with a single to center and Alex Friedrich had a two-run double to help the Knights out to a 7-0 lead.
The following inning, Friedrich once again came through with an RBI double to knock in another pair of runs, while D.J. Hicks plated Darnell Sweeney with an RBI single to bring the score to 10-0 in the third.
After a scoreless fourth, UMass got on the board in the top of the fifth. After junior Rich Graef drew a leadoff walk, redshirt sophomore Ryan Cusick doubled to left to bring in the Minutemen's first run. Two more walks were issued to junior Anthony Serino and senior Tom Conley before sophomore Nik Campero drove a single through the right side to score Cusick and Serino, closing the gap to 10-3.
UMass then followed up with another run in the sixth. Graef sent a one-out single into right, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and came home on a base hit to right by Serino.
UCF responded by taking three of the runs back in the sixth courtesy of back-to-back home runs by Friedrich and Nick Carrillo. The Knights went on to add two more in the seventh and one in the eighth to bring the final to 16-4.
Senior Glen Misho started on the mound for the Minutemen and took the loss (0-1) after letting up 10 runs, seven earned, on seven hits with three walks and one strikeout. Freshmen Andrew Grant and Dan Stoops both made their collegiate debuts for UMass, tossing two innings and one inning of relief, respectively.
Ben Lively picked up the win (3-0) for UCF as he threw 5.0 innings and allowed three runs on four hits with seven walks and six strikeouts.
The Minutemen's Serino had a multi-hit night, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored, while redshirt freshman Adam Picard was 2-for-5 at the plate. Graef batted 1-for-2 and scored twice and freshman Jeff Cavanaro was 1-for-1, making his UMass debut as a pinch hitter.
Friedrich paced the Knights with a 3-for-4 performance on the night with six RBI and two runs scored. Carrillo drove in three and Taladay added two RBI and scored twice.
Game two between UMass and UCF is slated for Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m.

Dr. Umar Faruq Abd-Allah
This course will cover three main areas of Islamic creed: the attributes of Allah, the nature of the Prophets, and transmitted revelatory knowledge from the unseen. Students will learn about what attributes that are necessary to, conceivable of, and inconsistent with divinity; what the Muslim understanding of Prophets and prophecy are; and what revelation says about the end days, the Last Day, the Afterlife, and more. This course will also provide students with a proper understanding of the scholarly understanding of decree (qadr), what renders one inside the fold of Islam, why tragedy and pain exist in the world, and other relevant theological questions.
Prohibitions of the Tongue
Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
A famous hadith details several saving virtues and ends with the Prophet (pbuh) summarizing, "Shall I not tell you how to achieve all of this?" He took a hold of his tongue and said, "Restrain this." Restraint of the tongue has been considered by scholars to be a central prerequisite to character development. This course, based on the famous text "Prohibitions of the Tongue" by Imam Muhammad al-Mawlud, will provide students with a deeper understanding of moral and immoral speech, its effects, and ways to protect one's self from spiritual harm. Designed to help students to developed restraint of the tongue, this course is timely preparation for Ramadan - a time in which speech has the deepest spiritual implications.

Ustadh Yahya Rhodus
Knowing our Lord is an essential cornerstone of developing an intimate relationship with him – arguably the most important task in a believer's life. Allah has revealed Himself to us most notably through His Most Beautiful Names (al-'Asma' al-Husna). A famous tradition from the Prophet Muhammad s states that whoever memorizes, or alternatively guards, the ninety-nine names of God, will enter paradise. His names are attributes by which servants are able to draw nearer to Him. This course will focus on the meanings of the names, their manifestations, and the lessons to be drawn from them to be implemented by all believers.
The Foundations of the Spiritual Path
Ustadh Walead Mosaad
Based on the famous treatise of the same name by the saint-scholar Sidi Ahmad Zarruq, this course will provide a summary of the requirements for spiritual enhancement.

The Spirituality & Ethics of Food
Imam Afroz Ali
Designed by blending scientific knowledge and classical works by Imam al-Ghazali on the spiritual dimensions of food and eating, this work will provide students with a deeper appreciation for the spirituality and ethics of food. Students will be inspired, insha'Allah, to re-examine their own intake to better grow both spiritually and physically.
The Aphorisms (Hikam) of Ibn 'Ata'Illah
Dr. Umar Faruq Abd-Allah
The "Aphorisms (Hikam)" of Ibn Ata'Illah is considered one of the greatest manuals on spiritual development and cultivation of any spiritual tradition. In short eloquent phrases, the author summarizes the essential guidelines for any spiritual aspirant. Covering the essential challenges and methods of personal religious development, this course will provide students with practical frameworks within which to grow and progress.
Jewels & Pearls of the Qur'an
al-Habib 'Ali al-Jifri
This course will be based on a famous text "The Jewels of the Qur'an", by Imam al-Ghazali which covers the content of the revelation by examining both the "jewels"—verses concerned with God, beliefs, and understandings—and "pearls"—verses detailing the implications of such beliefs in the form of practical application in a believer's life. This course will begin with introductory lectures to the text itself, "Jewels of the Qur'an." It will cover an introduction to the Qur'an, how one should view the scripture, and what the aims of the Qur'anic discourse are. This course will provide students with a broad understanding of the overall message of the Qur'an by examining the two types of verses and give them the tools needed to continue to regularly read and draw inspiration and guidance from the Qur'an.
Our Master Muhammad ﷺ, The Messenger of Allah ---His Sublime Character and Attributes
Imam Zaid Shakir
This class will examine aspects of the character, mercy, morals and worship of the Prophet Muham- mad s, based on the inspiring book of Shaykh Abdullah Sirajuddin, may Allah have mercy on him. In addition to examining these aspects of the Prophet's mission, message and being, we will extract lessons that are relevant for our lives, days and time. In addition to the text, class will include a workbook, which will include exercise designed to reinforce the lessons from the text, drills that focus on memorizing selections from the Hadith mentioned in the text, as well as deeper examinations of some of the most important themes, personalities and events mentioned in the text.
Special Topic
Shaykh Abdallah bin Bayyah
While Shaykh Abdallah bin Bayyah is confirmed and keen on joining us this year at the Rihla Program, his attendance remains contingent upon the state of his health as the time of the program approaches. Please keep Shaykh Abdallah in your prayers.
Special Topic
Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad
This course will comprise of a compilation of material from Shaykh Abdal Hakim's Contentions 11 as well as various readings from the Mathnawi and the Divan-i Shams-i Tabriz.

Imam Afroz Ali, Ustadh Walead Mosaad, Ustadh Yahya Rhodus
This course, offered in parallel sessions based on multiple schools of law, will cover the legal methods and regulations surrounding the most essential devotions of Islam: the daily prayer (salah) and fasting. It will cover multiple and detailed aspects including the methods of preparation for prayer, the requirements for valid prayer, prayer while travelling, what invalidates the prayer, preparing for prayer when no water is available, exceptional situations regarding the prayer, and more.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly Employment Situation report for Feb. 2014 on Mar. 7. The unemployment rate climbed to 6.7 percent, while the number of unemployed reached its highest level in three months. The number of Americans unemployed for over 27 week also increased by 5.6 percent over Jan. 2014.
The unemployment rate for Feb. 2014 was 6.7 percent, an increase from January's 6.6 percent. More reflective of the unemployment situation was the increase in the number of unemployed, from 10.24 million in January to 10.46 million. Much of this increase is from people not in the labor force entering and looking for work.
The labor force increased by 264,000 people in Feb. 2014. The number of people not in the labor force continued to fall in the month. The number of Americans with jobs, however was nearly static, with just 42,000 more employed in Feb. The net effect of all factors was more unemployed workers.
The average length of unemployment for February was 37.1 weeks. That is an increase from January but is identical to the Nov. and Dec. 2013 numbers. The median duration of unemployment for Feb. also increased, with half of all unemployed having been out of work for over 16.4 week. With standard unemployment providing 26 weeks of benefits, in February 37 percent of the unemployed had been so for 27 weeks and over.

More than 600 people from throughout Northeast Ohio gathered Thursday in Cleveland to confront the heroin problem that has swept through the region — claiming lives, destroying families and devastating communities along the way.
The summit, staged by the Cleveland Clinic and the U.S. Attorney's Office, featured law enforcement, judges, social workers, medical personnel and those whose families have dealt with a loved one's addiction.
Together, they discussed the impact of the drug on the area's communities and possible ways of eradicating it.
Dr. Delos Cosgrove, president and CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, said the hospital gets about 25 calls each day for help with opiate addiction. The hospital system admits four to five new patients each day asking for treatment for opiate addiction.
Patients come from all walks of life and every community, and that's one of the reasons Cosgrove said the Clinic wanted to host a summit on the topic.
"Age is not a determinate, social status is not a determinate and race is not a determinate. Frankly, it is everywhere across our community," he said.
The daylong summit included speakers on a number of topics, but the conversation centered on why the drug is so addictive and how local communities are working to prevent addictions, decrease overdose deaths and improve treatment options.
"The solution cannot just be arrests," said U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach, whose office prosecutes federal drug offenses and other crimes in northern Ohio. "We are not going to arrest our way out of the heroin problem alone."
Nearly all agreed that education is a key component.
Seventy percent of addicts start their addiction with a prescription narcotic like oxycodone.
"Nobody starts on prescription opiates with the hope they're going to become a heroin addict," said Orman Hall, a member of Gov. John Kasich's Opiate Cabinet.
But heroin can cost as little as 5 cents per milligram compared with $1 per milligram for a prescription pill.
After users make the switch to heroin, they typically begin using more often, and increasing their tolerance to the drug.
And while heroin is cheaper, users sometimes have no idea how strong a dose they are taking, Hall said.
"In some cases, heroin is cut with materials that make it less potent and in some cases it's more potent," he said.
Nowhere was that more evident than the string of overdoses first responders encountered in Lorain County earlier this month.
Between Nov. 8 and 11, officials in Lorain County handled 21 overdoses, two of which resulted in a death, Lorain County Coroner Stephen Evans said. Law enforcement officers have arrested the supplier of the heroin, which was found to be laced with fentanyl, a powerful painkiller.
But Evans said the real success in Lorain County has been the implementation of a pilot program that allows police officers to carry and dispense Narcan, which helps reverse overdose effects in victims. Some of those who survived the overdoses the weekend of Nov. 8 were saved by police officers who arrived at the scene before paramedics.
"We've only been doing this program for one month and in the one month, we've already saved 12 lives," he said.
The pilot program required a law change to allow officers to dispense the Narcan because state laws don't allow officers to provide medical treatment. But advocates like Evans hope the success of the program will allow it to spread statewide.
He said the program has required some education to get officers used to administering the drug, but they're getting the hang of it.
"Our officers have seen the power of saving a life," Evans said.
Another component to dealing with addiction — one that isn't offered enough — is a treatment option, key parties agreed.
Doctors at Thursday's summit said there are not enough treatment options available to handle most addictions, especially one as powerful as heroin.
Dr. Christina Delos Reyes, chief clinical officer for the Alcohol, Drug, Addiction and Mental Health Services Board of Cuyahoga County, said treatment on demand is available for those suffering from any other illness. But when it comes to addiction, the wait lists to get into treatment facilities is long.
"What we are not doing well is we do not have access to treatment," she said. "We do not have treatment on demand for addiction."
The day concluded with small-group, brainstorming sessions.
A key takeaway was that officials from the Cleveland Clinic and the U.S. Attorney's Office said they hope members of law enforcement and those who treat addiction can foster partnerships from the summit to create a better way to treat heroin addiction.
Dettelbach called the group that met Thursday "unprecedented."
"Heroin is not just one or one group of people's problem," he said.
Dettelbach said the solution requires physicians stepping up to be careful about how they prescribe pain medicine. It requires parents locking up their pain medication and it requires working with the courts and medical professionals to make sure those who need treatment have access to it.
"It's going to require an all-of-the-above solution because heroin is an all-of-the-above problem."

Battling the Chaos in the Public Schools' Arts Classes
By ROBIN POGREBIN
Published: June 5, 2003
At the Heritage High School in East Harlem, students in a class on three-dimensional art make life-size sculptures in the tradition of George Segal from chicken wire and papier-mâché. In advanced band, students practice the theme from the movie "Spider-Man" on clarinets, flutes, trumpets, electric bass and drums.
Across town, at P.S. 8 in Washington Heights, the art teacher hauls her supplies from classroom to classroom in shopping bags or on a cart because there is no art room. The school's instruments lie silent in their cases because there is no band teacher. And the students use pencils to plunk their gap-toothed xylophones because there are not enough proper mallets to go around.
The glaring disparity in arts education between these two schools is typical in New York City. Throughout the school system the quality of arts programs varies widely from school to school, depending on the commitment of its district, principal, teachers and parent body and the involvement of outside providers.
"It's completely hodgepodge," said Eva S. Moskowitz, chairwoman of the City Council's Education Committee. "We have in some schools almost no arts, in many schools no music, schools that are not taking advantage of the cultural resources of the city, arts educators who may be asked to decorate the school for Halloween."
Some schools treat art as essential, with extensive cultural programs that are integrated into the rest of the curriculum. The Heritage School, for example, where most of the students are from low-income households in Upper Manhattan, was pioneered by a university arts educator devoted to making the arts central to general learning.
Other schools, like P.S. 8, offer art just once a week with bare-bones materials like construction paper and Elmer's glue and instruction that bears little or no relationship to students' other learning.
To address the inequities, the schools chancellor, Joel I. Klein, wants to create a uniform citywide arts curriculum for students in kindergarten through 12th grade, along the lines of his plan for uniform curriculums in all subjects. The curriculum would establish standards in dance, music, theater and the visual arts for the city's 1,100 schools by September of next year.
"Some schools do spectacularly well on the arts; some schools don't," Mr. Klein said. "There is too much unevenness."
Moreover, the city has no way to monitor arts education over all — whether a school has an art room, an art teacher and adequate supplies and how much each school spends on providing art to each student, if anything at all. In the past, some schools have diverted their arts money to other areas, Mr. Klein said, adding that he plans to establish some "budgetary accountability."
Mr. Klein has appointed Caroline Kennedy to oversee the new arts curriculum and Angelo Gimondo to be senior instructional manager for the arts. Mr. Gimondo will leave his post as superintendent of District 30 in Jackson Heights, Queens, a district known for its strong cultural programs.
"We face a new era in the history of arts education in the city's schools," Dr. Gimondo said in testimony at a recent City Council hearing on arts education. "Every child should receive regular instruction in the arts in one or more disciplines and arts instruction integrated in other subjects."
To devise a new arts curriculum aligned with New York State standards, Dr. Gimondo is establishing committees of educators and artists with Kate D. Levin, the commissioner of cultural affairs.
"It's too much of a patchwork," Ms. Levin said. "Some children get extraordinary exposure. Some get next to nothing."
Money for arts education was eliminated during the 1970's budget crisis. Over the next 20 years there was no systemwide arts education; cultural programs were provided by school administrators who made it a priority and outside nonprofit groups. "Because arts education is not tested, it tends to be treated as something that does not have equal value in the curriculum," said Hollis Headrick, executive director of the Center for Arts Education, a nonprofit group in Manhattan.
In fiscal year 1997, New York City's Education Department began to receive Project Arts support, an allocation to supplement education activities. Starting at $25 million, the fund grew to a high of $75 million in 2000 and 2001. In 2002 and 2003, the allocation dropped to $52 million. Mr. Klein said next year's appropriation would increase to $67.5 million.
Many educators say this level of support is woefully inadequate. "In a city that prides itself on being the arts capital of the world, that is not reflected in the provision of the arts in the public schools," said Judith Burton, a professor of art education at Teachers College at Columbia University.
She helped create the Heritage School, at Lexington Avenue and 106th Street, in 1994. Half the student body there is assigned to the school; the other half is selected based on academic and attendance records but not on artistic ability. Students at Heritage, in grades 9 through 12, have art every day; teachers in various disciplines coordinate their courses with arts instruction; and six students have curatorial internships at the Museum of Modern Art.

While Teresa Giudice and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga apparently patched things up while filming season six of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," it seems that the same can't be said for Teresa and her cousin Kathy Wakile. In a sneak peek of the upcoming season, as seen in an E! News article posted on Wednesday, May 14, Teresa is shown calling Kathy a 'b***h.'
One scene shows the housewives in what looks to be a party celebrating Kathy's desserts. One of the new housewives holds up a cannoli, presumably one from Kathy's own cannoli line, to eat. Teresa lets her know what she thinks of Kathy's product. "You better get that cannoli out of my face. I'm serious," she says, before taking it and throwing it in a pan full of meat. "How do you spell 'b***h'? K-A-T-H-Y," Teresa says in her talking head interview.
After starring in the show for two seasons, Kathy is returning to season six only as a recurring housewife. Her sister, Rosie Pierri, will also show up in the season from time to time. In previous seasons, Teresa and Kathy have had a tenuous relationship, with Kathy often feeling dismissed by Teresa and Teresa feeling as if Kathy is a backstabber. On Monday, May 12, Kathy seemed to allude to her demotion and her lack of hard feelings about it by posting a quote on Instagram that states, "People who shine from within don't need the spotlight."
While Kathy Wakile remains in season six as a recurring housewife, her allies Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita are gone. Caroline and her family are now starring in their own spin-off, titled "Manzo'd With Children," which is set to premiere later this year. Jacqueline will reportedly be seen on that show instead.
Replacing Caroline and Jacqueline on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" are Dina Manzo, who starred in the show for the first two seasons, Amber Marchese, and twins Nicole Mauriello and Teresa Aprea (nee Napolitano). The only housewives from season five to return as starring housewives are Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga.

When a detective from the York County Sheriff's Office called Cindy Lyles on April 1, she naturally thought it was an April Fool's joke.
After all, why would a car stolen in September 2009 from her Lyles Motors car lot turn up now?
But that's exactly what happened.
York County Detective Branham told Lyles that her missing gold, 2001 Honda Accord EX had been found. And even more surprising to Lyles, the detective said it had been recovered during the bust of a suspected theft ring.
Fashion trends come and go, but there's one fad several Lancaster County Council members would like to see eliminated – baggy pants.
Councilman Cotton Cole broached the subject at County Council's April 5 meeting after a conversation he had with a constituent. Cole said it was just one of many calls he's received from residents tired of seeing people wearing pants too low on their hips.
Cole asked his fellow council members to consider adopting some sort of ban on baggy pants.
U.S. District 5 Rep. Mick Mulvaney stuck with his pledge to shake things up in Washington, D.C., last week, voting along with fellow House Republicans to approve a budget proposal that aims to cut $6.2 trillion in spending over the next decade.
The vote came after the congressman supported even steeper cuts as co-author of a proposed Republican Study Commission budget and bucked Republican leadership by voting against a continuing resolution to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year.
A Columbia man was trapped in his car on a road south of Lancaster early Thursday morning after he swerved to avoid a deer.
The accident happened at 4:45 a.m. along Doc Garris Road, which is between U.S. 521 and S.C. 522.
S.C. Highway Patrol Trooper Billy Elder said the accident involved only one vehicle, a 1999 Ford Ranger. Elder said the driver, Joe Burriss, 59, was traveling east on Doc Garris Road when a deer ran into the roadway.
"The driver swerved to the left, struck a ditch, overturned and then struck a tree," Elder said.
Lancaster County Partners for Youth Foundation
The building has mold problems and water pours from the ceiling whenever it rains, but one local group is still interested in moving into the current home of the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp.
Representatives from the American Red Cross of Lancaster County recently asked Lancaster County Council to consider letting their group move into the building when LCEDC moves out. The county-owned LCEDC building is on West Gay Street, while the Red Cross now rents space off Woodland Drive near S.C. 9 Bypass.
A familiar face has joined the city of Lancaster's promotions team.
Local artist Cherry Doster was hired last month as the city's marketing and development manager. She now works as part of See Lancaster SC – the city's marketing arm that promotes business and tourism throughout the county.
In addition to promoting the city, Doster will help recruit new businesses, retain existing businesses, evaluate properties for potential development and develop marketing materials.
A Heath Springs man was shot after he interrupted an apparent burglary in his home Wednesday night.
The shooting happened a little after 10 p.m. as the Hoke Road resident returned home, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office press release. The home is in the Heath Springs area, near S.C. 97 and the Chester County border.
In a 911 call released by the sheriff's office, the victim sounds out of breath as he asks the operator for help.
Lancaster County is one step closer to officially reinstating a one-mile buffer zone between residences and landfills.
The Lancaster County Planning Commission unanimously approved a request Tuesday night to modify the county's buffer requirement between sanitary landfills and residences from 1,000 feet to one mile.
Two months after hundreds of Lancaster County residents fought against a proposed solid waste landfill, a bill designed to prevent similar situations from happening again stalled in the Statehouse last week.

Nokia: 'Not Going to Apologize' for Not Being Apple or Google
By Jennifer Valentino-DeVries
Nokia, which is changing top executives left and right, is clearly in the midst of a major upheaval, but at its annual Nokia World event, the company was standing firm.
"We're not going to apologize for the fact that we're not Apple or Google or Samsung or anybody else. We're Nokia," said Niklas Savander, Nokia's executive vice president for markets.
The problem is that being Nokia has been tough of late. The world's largest handset maker has struggled in recent years to keep up with Apple and Google as those companies shook up the cellphone market with the iPhone and Android devices, respectively. Nokia has seen its share price slide 70% in the past three years and recently selected a top Microsoft executive to come in as its CEO.
Nokia, which has video of keynote on its site, is using this week's event to introduce three new smartphones, as well as upgrades to its developer tools. Savander, in an indirect swipe at Apple, said the company would continue offering many types of phones.
"Just one device will not satisfy" all people around the globe, because people have different tastes and different budgets, he said. He added that "offering people just one model will inevitably lead to compromises" in terms of the screen, keyboard or other features.
Savander implied that phones like those from Google and Apple are too expensive and said Nokia would work to expand the availability of smartphones rather than offering only top-end products, "because everyone, not just the well-off, should have access."
He also emphasized that Nokia is still the top phone maker and said the company sells 260,000 smartphones every day — more than Apple or Android devices. But the issue for the company isn't just the volume of phones it's selling but the perception of its phones, particularly in the U.S. market.
There, the company isn't touting itself but acknowledging that it has a lot of work to do. "Today we shift into high gear in Nokia's fight back in smartphone leadership," Savander said. Unfortunately for Nokia, a few other companies are in high gear already.

Hi everyone,
Now that my new boy has settled down and we're getting used to not having Noah around I'm trying to get on with Munchie again. The weather's been so shocking that my round pen is still under water so he's had nearly 6 months off. Anyhow, I've found a dry but sloped area for the round pen and we have been gently long reining in that and I've got on and off loads of times with no problems on Munch's part. I've taken him for walks in hand and he's really enjoyed it. Even though he's being the perfect gent and I know Dan Wilson has sorted him out so he will always be a character but no longer dangerous, I can't bring myself to ride even though I really want to. I know that once we get going we're going to have a fantastic time as he's young enough and brave enough to go anywhere and I'm perfectly capable of dealing with any issues that arise. I know this but it doesn't stop my knees from knocking when I have to get on. All this has built up over the 6 months we've had off. Before that we were going carefully but steadily forwards.
Anyway, getting to the point - has anyone here had hypnotherapy and did it work for you? I think if it could work long enough to get me back in the saddle and have a few good rides I'd be sorted.
Thanks for reading this long post!

I don't tend to ride much in winter as I hate the cold wet freezing weather, although that pretty much sums up the summer too at the moment. I began riding again about a month ago and that's just how I felt - a bit lacking in confidence. I just gave myself a wee goal each day e.g. today I'm going to just stick to walking around on each rein and maybe do some circles, and then tomorrow I'll do it again and then do it all over in trot, and so on just to build myself up. When I had done what I had set out to do I felt much better and each day my confidence got stronger. I'm also using my dressage saddle at the moment as psychologically I think it gives me a more secure seat, and I always begin by walking the horse around in hand on each rein all round the paddock before I get on, just so that there's nothing for him to shy at - but I've always done that to be honest! I've not used hypnotherapy but I do use rescue remedy pastilles and they do work for me when I need them.
Thanks Rhapsody!
I've not tried RR pastilles so I think I'll get some. I'm a great believer in ground work too and don't ever worry when I'm on the ground with Munch. Anything could happen and I feel totally in control! After speaking to a friend yesterday I decided I'm going to tack him up and get myself ready to ready and take him on walking hacks. If I feel like getting on I will and if I need to get off again I will. Your approach of doing something extra every day is an excellent idea so I'm going to start that in my round pen where I feel safest.
Thanks for the great advice!

I've not tried hypnotherapy for nerves but I did try it for stopping smoking - to be honest after spending £350 and 4 sessions later I smoked more after than before! And yes at that point I really did want to give up smoking.
But a friend of mine used it for her riding nerves after having taken a few falls and I think it really helped her, I'm a firm believer in positive affirmations (!!) and as Rhapsody says setting little goals - if I ever get a ridable horse again I will be using every tool I can get my hand on!!
There is no greater gift than to share time with a creature of such beauty - The Horse.
Thanks 3MMM. £350 is a lot of money to discover that something didn't work for you! That's the problem with these non-NHS therapies like bowen technique or accupuncture - there's plenty of evidence that they can work but they won't necessarily work for you and the only way to find out is to cough up loads of money. Then, if it doesn't work for you you're more likely to tell people the therapy doesn't work at all!

Hope you can find something to help you - I haven't ridden since I retired Bracken which is getting on for 3 years now, and to be honest, I think I would be terrified of the thought of riding again.
But if you like I will happily come and walk out with you, pm me or give me a ring if you still have my number.

I do have first hand experience of using a hypnotherapy cd for hacking. I cannot recommend it enough the difference it made to me was amazing even after one week. I had on loan a little mare who tended to be a bit nervey and because I was nervous too it made her worse, so I decided that I would either have to move on and not ride her any more or deal with it and get over it. So I booked in a weekly lesson at a riding school and got myself the hypnotherapy cd - confident hacking (by sharon shinwell), the cd has given me so much confidence and really broken the nervous cycle (nervous rider = nervous horse = more nervous rider etc..) once I was able to relax riding has become so much more pleasurable and I now can't wait to go out riding. The first couple of times you listen you will proberbly find that you can't really get into the relaxed state but after about 3 to 4 times you will find yourself becoming more and more relaxed and this then transfers into your riding and handling of your horse. I also found the cd gave me more confidence in everyday life, made me sleep reeaallllly well, and generally feel more relaxed.
In fact I felt so much more confidence that I have now bought my little mare and enjoy her enormously I get so much pleasure now from being with and riding her. - cannot recommend the cd enough - try it you have nothing to lose!
Thanks everyone for your really useful comments. Actually, I had a bit of a breakthrough today. My friend and I took Munchie for a walk round the village today and he was so relaxed, despite all the road works and a train going through the crossings and about 100 more things that most horses would find scarey, so when we got back to the yard I decided I would sit on him in the yard. The last time I got on in the yard was when Munchie 1st went nuts on me and eventually bronced me off (3 years ago) but it felt right to do it. Anyway, I got on and he backed up so I made him go forward which would normally send me into a panic but today it felt totally normal so I rode him about halfway back to the field. Only about 50 yards but the furthest I've ridden in about 8 months! And I rode him positively, without thinking that every movement was a potential buck!
I'm going to follow everyone's advice - plenty of ground work, set myself a goal each time, stop as soon as we're getting good results, and buy that CD. Thanks guys!
Well done Cobsandshire on your walk out and I am sorry I sounded so negative about hypnotherapy, I think if you really really want to achieve something then it can really help, but I just don't think it is a "magic wand" therapy. Now I am not against complementary therapies in any way shape or form (obviously) but I do think with hypnosis based therapy the receipiant needs to be totally focused on the goal and then it is really them telling you positive thoughts to achieve it - mind you I could have seen one of those so called rip off merchants!
I think with anything little steps, think positively set achievable goals and reward the positives work with the negatives, and plenty of lavender oil to relax you :-)
That's such good news, well done - as 3MMM says little achievements are the way to do it.
Good luck for it all going well from now on :o)

The Nexus 4 has sold out yet again
Both 8GB and 16GB models are unavailable
SMARTPHONE DESIGNER Google's Android 4.2 Jelly Bean flagship smartphone, the Nexus 4 has sold out in the UK once again.
At the Google Play store, both the 8GB and 16GB models of the LG-built Nexus 4 smartphone are now showing as sold out, just two weeks after Google received more stock. Before selling out, delivery time had slipped to "6-7 weeks".
Google tells us that this is because it has seen massive demand for the Nexus 4, not surprisingly given the handset's low price. Google seems to have got away with this lack of stock lightly though, as we can't help but think that if Apple ran out of Iphone 5 handsets so quickly the world would be up in arms about it.
If you're desperate to get your mitts on a Nexus 4 in time for Christmas, it's also available through O2 and Three. However, it isn't as cheap there as Google's pricing, so it could be worth waiting for the internet giant to get more Nexus 4 handsets in stock in the UK.
It's still unclear when Google will receive its next batch though, and we're guessing that it might not be before Christmas. µ

Published January 11, 2010
As the remaining years in Traficant's sentence dwindled, and the prospects of his return grew more real, my principal concern was that he be marginalized on his return. Though some misguided folks, like the lamentable Biz Society, are still inviting him to make headlines, and though a handful of supporters refuse to let the dream die, as the New York Times opines this morning, "Trusted civic leaders — people who fight endlessly for reform — estimate Mr. Traficant's standing to be at best as a talk-radio grievance peddler, not as a resurrected politician capable of catching on, as he is trying to do, with the new tea-party theatrics."
Mr. Traficant was spellbinding in the courtroom — a self-absorbed bully, a tragic clown vowing vengeance as he was led off. You had to hope there was no second act for a politician like him.If there isn't, something is right in Youngstown.
Despite reports of an upcoming radio show in Cleveland and the expectation that Traficant will challenge Charlie Wilson in the primaries, there is evidence that Youngstown has moved on. In fact, the very fact that Traficant's show is in Cleveland demonstrates that Traficant's best deal for his pontifications was not in his home market.
Traficant is not one to let an opportunity pass where he can get attention. Therefore, the most optimistic scenario is that he uses his radio show as a platform to push his campaign for Congress. The radio sponsors come under pressure for having a candidate as a hired talker and push him out. Cool heads prevail in the primary and hand him a definitive defeat, shattering the mystique still held in some press circles about his influence with the voting public. And, finally, Traficant is resigned to a career as wig consultant at his wife's beauty parlor.
This is what the Traficant disciples refuse to acknowledge - that the man makes us a laughing stock anywhere but here. Doesn't the Mahoning Valley have enough problems without presenting itself as an uneducated and mindless mass of followers of a man who really accomplished nothing while in Congress.
Westsider, thanks for being the 1,000th comment on the blog!
So, if Traficant is DOA, then why would the NYT find it necessary to beat him to death again? And what makes you think he'll run as a party candidate in the primary? He, like the best of this country, has always been independent and We, The People are about to declare our independence all over again from journalistic and political prostitutes.
"It's not the Kennedy seat. It is the Peoples seat."
quote of 2010
"...my principal concern was that he be marginalized on his return."
"...Traficant is resigned to a career as wig consultant at his wife's beauty parlor."
Does the smearing ever get old? Does it ever feel unseemly or tawdry?
I could not find any content related to Traficant's positions on issues, his law enforcement or congressional record, or qualifications. Just more tired "palinization." It's really all you lefties have, isn't it?
What troubles me far more than a man who has paid his debt to society are ones who haven't, such as tax-evaders Geithner, Rangel or Daschel.
Charlie Wilson, for the sake of the Nation and the 6th district, needs to be defeated. By no means is Traficant an ideal candidate, but even my slobbering and flatulent dog would do far less destruction than Wilson, et al.
I personally don't care about Mr. Traficant, but I do want him treated fairly. The leftist "fear and smear" strategy's effectiveness will wane as the citizenry continues to realize the lack of integrity of those who traffic in the politics of personal destruction.
Who would want a freshman rep. that BOTH parties would ignore? Get real---and get on with your lives.
It an't going to happen!
It is amazing that people say "leftist fear and smear strategy's" as if the neocon right did not invent the strategy in the first place, and refine it to an art. Simply amazing, the loss of memory.
Go away Jimbo, please go away!!! Your radio is an infomercial for Jimbo paid for by yourself.
"Marginalization" or "smearing" is equally distasteful when done by a "neocon" or a leftie.
I have followed the American political environment for decades, and I do not see the conservatives "smear" their opposition the way I've witnessed it done to numerous conservatives or ones who dare oppose the leftist agenda (conservative or not). Please cite examples of libs who were smeared in a fashion similar to Governor Palin, President Bush 43, Ken Starr, VP Quayle, Congresswoman Bachman...
I don't care much about Mr. Traficant. There are better people than him, and there are much worse. Mr. Traficant, like everyone, deserves fairness. The author of this smear could have and should have presented a factual account of the actions or words of Mr. Traficant and then voiced his strong opposition. I wished the Vindy aspired to be better than a small time HuffPo or MoveOn.org.
It matters because if we are going to transform the land of liberty into the land of government-dependence, it should be based on a factual discussion.
Obviously Nonsocialist hasn't followed the smear the Obama rhetoric. He's a Muslim, he wasn't born here, the pictures of him as Hitler. Remember the swift boat campaign to smear Kerry the Vietnam hero? Isn't it wonderful how people have selective memories?
I'm hoping that "THE JIM TRAFICANT MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY" is still on track to be built .
John Kerry's claims of War Crimes that he states he witnessed and the details of his 4 months of service in Vietnam are disputed by the vast majority of his fellow vets as well as his own commanders. It is a small few that corroborate his accounts. The Vietnam vets had a right, if not a duty, to set the record straight and to counter Senator Kerry's "smears".
It is true that the GOP funded the swift boat ads that opposed the Kerry Presidential bid, but that doesn't mean the majority of vets that served with Kerry are liars.
I would actually categorize the swift boat episode as a double leftist smear: first, the war crimes claims in 1971, and second, the claim that all of these vets are liars in 2004.
Regarding Obama...you gotta admit he's an enigma. We know as fact that he comes from a family that practices the Muslim faith, he spent his formative years in Jakarta and he has been far less than transparent in releasing his personal information, especially from his pre-Chicago days.
I don't find inquiries into the background and beliefs of the POTUS "smears." Similarly, there were inquiries about Senator McCain's birth in Panama...and there should be such inquiries.
More examples please...but put more effort into it this time.
Nonsocialist, if you want to excuse the smearing of John Kerry and Obama by saying there is some kind of truth to the smears, then you must concede the smearing of Sarah Palin has truth at the heart of it, too. The woman is a fraud, and her entire state now understands just how much of one. She ditched her duties in order to get on the media circuit where she could make more money. She's not interested in the public welfare. She's interested in her own welfare. On top of that, she committed numerous legal infractions as governor, and on top of THAT, she's ignorant, and cannot even pronounce words correctly, or develop any logical arguments.
Is that smearing, or is just you not liking to hear the truth about your girl?
And no, I don't have to admit Obama is an enigma. He's not. Face it: you're simply ideologically bound to one side of the political spectrum and will cry like a baby when your team gets hit, but applaud when it occurs to the libs.
Grow a more complex brain.
Oh really?
The only thing I agree with you on is where I'm no Jim Traficant defender. It's distinctly clear you are and are so cowardly cunning about it. You're trying to eek him into a realm of acceptance with the manner of a insidious snake oil salesman.
See where I accept he's done his time for the disgraceful crime. But can't find any reason nor sense in continuing to berate him. He was criminally convicted, tried found guilt and he did his time. So he's now a citizen of no interest to me and one I bear no accord with and on that merit leave the man be.
Although I also respect that since he's taken to getting back into the ring of political spectrum. It's he himself who's opened himself up for debate and discussion of what people feel about him. See in that balance he's summonsing others to berate him and rehash how disgusting his showing was.
Where in the public spectrum not all will find it repulsive that a felonious former legislator want's another crack at landing more federal salary for personal comfort posturing as their representative again.
Although a far greater number in fact do and always will find him and his mere request of seeking even the remotest consideration unthinkably repulsive,.. and with reasons of his own display.
However other than that you're as tainted as an apple that was planted in a snake pit. See you know all views expressed are personal perspectives and those where others derive an opinion of agreeing, disagreeing or varying a bit.
Where in my opinion as a non partisan individual that knows my fair share about life, the political history and the facts that associate them. It's my take that you're a cunning quack and one that has an absolute slithering snake like angle, manner and hiss.
See not just some or a few but everything you allege in offering is laced with lies. Which gives a distinct texture to the fabric of your Emperor of no clothes variety and I find you hilarious.
Somehow you persistently try to link a Jim Traficant to reigning non criminal leaders that hail from within the democratic party. Then allege the criminal is better in character than others within the democratic party accord and try to wedge in your disdain for the president.
Which makes it unquestionable you're a bias ply liar and the truth can't dwell within nor emit from you. What does a John Kerry or president Obama have to do with Jim Traficant?
Absolutely NOTHING but to forge your cowardice ilk you'd love to infuse them.
See you bear no substance, your slanted stream of lies is cesspool fodder. Presented in manner that reveal you're too despicable to even come right out and say what you are bearing such a willful illness.
Get over it and realize that Jim Traficant can't sensibly be sold to the American people ever again,.. PERIOD !
He's through, it's not without reason and you're a tasteless joke for trying to craft a mural of absolute make believe around him.

Apicella is a no-nonsense player of unquestioned chops and whose soul drips from each note... This is 'organic' music, and Apicella is an exciting young player. —John Heidt, Vintage Guitar
On Charlie Apicella & Iron City's third album, the band tries to lift the traditional organic organ sound by punching up the lyrical without going too far off the deep bend. Apicella is a New York City jazz guitarist who does things straight-ahead, finding deep pockets of swing and groove.
In their first ZOHO, July 8, 2014 release, "Big Boss," Apicella and Iron City use every sound at their disposal to produce an organic, swinging fix on jazz blues classics, with a few originals. Iron City is comprised of Apicella's longtime saxophonist Stephen Riley, trumpeter Freddie Hendrix, and conga master Mayra Casales, with drummer Alan Korzin, violinist Amy Bateman, and organist Dan Kostelnik.
You hear funky blasts of trumpet and sax, a little percussive bounce, lots of Apicella's sturdy guitar work. But you really get a huge dose of Kostelnik on the organ. In many ways, this is an album devoted to what the organist can bring to the table with the window dressing of a horn section.
Half of the eight songs were written by Apicella, the other half come from his favorites, ballads, up-tempos, an unusual choice in cover from Motown. The entire album was produced and arranged by Apicella and Korzin with their musical influences in mind: Wes Montgomery, Lester Young, Count Basie's big band, Don Patterson/Billy James, "Big" John Patton/Ben Dixon, Larry Young/Elvin Jones.
"In The Grass" is Charlie Apicella's perfect 6/8 rendition for every featured instrument polyrhythmically, a love song between the horns and the organ, with his guitar filling up the gathering spaces, providing witty conversation.
Within seconds of the big band intro, you realize the band's heading into Motown territory with Diana Ross & The Supremes' "I Hear A Symphony." It's a song rarely heard without vocals telling a sweeping story of courtship and romance. The band of instrumentalists try to capture that same sweeping excitement, minus the girlish giddiness. Apicella approached the instrumental arrangement with the late jazz-soul composer/organist/saxophonist Charles Earland in mind. In fact, the organ shines in this remake. When it's missing, much of the melodic play goes too, putting the cover in danger of elevator music.
A crowd favorite will definitely be "Amalfi," another Apicella original. The guitarist really concentrates on uplifting a beautiful thread of melody to its finest points, through the interpretative works of a fair, feminizing violin, barely a thud from the organ for most of the run — which, let's be real, can feel oppressively ubiquitous if not careful, and a two-horn magnet. Apicella worked with two horns in the composition for the first time but said he benefitted from two magnificently astute horn players, trumpeter Freddie Hendrix and tenor saxophonist Stephen Riley. Apicella wisely let violinist Bateman do the melodic honors, transforming what would've been a decent jazz-blues number into the realm of the classical ballet. But the featured artist isn't gone, as his pronounced solo reverberates and underscores Bateman's wonderful layers. When the organist does surface, he makes every moment count, doing more than hitting the keys. He practically makes the keys burst into applause at every dramatic turn. Blending his organ with Bateman's violin softens the hard edges, keeping this ballad intact.
Grant Green's "Sunday Mornin'" standard goes gospel and blues. But by the end of this album, it's simply too much blues organ for one sitting on a meager, derivative melody. However, organist Kostelnik burns in his solos, raising his revelatory time.

Music students talk about their experiences in the classroom and beyond.
