On Sunday, Rev. Lois Blakey-Paige, pastor of New Canaan Worship Center in Richmond, Virginia told congregation to "Overcome the Power of Distractions By Going Into the Presence of God." She based her sermon on Psalm 100:3 that read, "Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture."
Pastor Paige said we become frantic when we are distracted, and we can become distracted very easily. Then she emphasized that the cure for our distraction is the presence of God.
The prefix "dis" in front of any root word means "not." For examples: "dis" in front of obey is disobey, "dis" in front of respect is disrespect. "Dis" in front of ability becomes "disability," and "dis" in front of grace is "disgrace." When people "dis" you, they wipe you off. When you think you are getting certain traction in your life, then someone or something can come along and "dis" you. When they happens, run to God who is the cure for distractions.
Psalm 23:5-6 are six words we should remember: "Thou anointed my head with oil." The pastor give three purpose for oil.
- Oil repels insects.
- Oil prevents conflict.
- Oil heals wounds.
Pastor Paige explained each one of the above. First all all, bugs bug people, but bugs can kill sheep. Shepherds attest to the fact that when bugs land on the sheep's head, the sheep would bang their head on a fence or tree or what hard surface they can find to get rid of the bugs. Bugs would lay eggs in the sheep's nose which caused an infestation. The bugs would irritate the sheep to the point the sheep often try to kill themselves to get relief from the bugs.
Secondly, shepherds use oil on the ram's head rams would butt heads so hard it causes pain. For this reason, shepherds used oil on the head of rams to prevent conflict.
Third, shepherds put oil on the sheep's head to heal the wounds of the sheep.
We, like sheep, have become distracted. However, running into the presence of God is where we find the oil that will cure what's bugging us, what's causing conflicts, and it will heal our wounds.
Pastor Paige contended that we are not spending enough time in the presence of God. She said we run to everyone else when we have a problem: friends, neighbors and others. She also said we are just too busy to hear from God. She gave a simple solution for going into the presence of God. She suggested we need to sit still and meditate on God. Read something from the Bible even if it is just one scripture. Listen to worship music. Make God's presence a priority. We need to become dumb like sheep and let the shepherd take care of us.
The pastor said when you don't know what to do, eliminate the bugs from your life by running into the presence of God. Trust God and practice humility.
One final question the pastor asked the congregation. As Dr. Phil would say, "How's that working for you when you are choosing everything else except God's presence?" Then she repeated what she said through the sermon: The cure for distraction is God's presence. The distractions will cease when you seek God's presence.

WICHITA, Kan. - Senior catcher Kevin Sullivan (Elmhurst, Ill./Oakton J.C./York H.S.) was 2-for-5 with three runs batted in for Bradley (6-11, 0-2 MVC), but Wichita State (13-7, 2-0 MVC) scored nine runs in the first two innings and held on for an 11-8 Missouri Valley Conference victory Saturday afternoon at Eck Stadium. The two clubs combined for 26 hits in the game, including seven extra-base hits.
The Braves took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first after an RBI single by freshman outfielder Mike Tauchman (Palatine, Ill./William Fremd H.S.), but the Shockers answered in the bottom half with five runs on five hits, including a two-run triple by Clint McKeever, to make the score 5-1. Wichita State plated four more runs in the second to take a 9-1 advantage.
In the third, Tauchman ripped an RBI triple and scored on a double by sophomore designated hitter Brad Kimball (Naperville, Ill./Neuqua Valley H.S.) to cut Wichita State's lead to 9-3. Bradley added another run in the fifth on an RBI single by Sullivan to make it a 9-4 game.
The Shockers extended their lead to 11-4 with two runs in the bottom of the sixth, but the Braves refused to quit. In the seventh, Bradley erupted for four runs on two hits, including a two-run homer by Sullivan, to pull within three, 11-8.The Braves had runners on second and third with one out in the eighth, but Wichita State's Remington Johnson recorded the final two outs of the inning and pitched a scoreless ninth to preserve the win for the Shockers, 11-8.

Who knows.. when you get your extensions or themes from sites like these, you always run the risk thatthey are infected with malicious code.. It's up to you to test them out before rolling them into aproduction site, obviously. You can either browse through the code for obvious problems, or you can run themon a locally installed site, monitoring any outgoing connections from your httpd server.Besides themes, mostoften malicious code resides in these 'security' extensions.. always a good idea to give them a lookthrough.

It took a long time to admit to myself, longer to admit to others, and even longer to see something of God's good purposes through it all. There have been all sorts of ups and downs. But this battle is not devoid of blessings, as Paul discovered with his own unyielding thorn in the flesh.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Williams, Cootie (Charles Melvin)
No one in the forties could coax a trumpet like Cootie Williams, or produce such wild effects, from rooster squawks to human-like emotions in comedic variations. Yet today, few realize the extent to which his horn skills soared beyond these tricks to shape the sound of Swing.
Charles Melvin Williams was born in Mobile, Alabama on July 24, 1910. The son of a church organist and a father who ran a gambling house, Williams attended his first band concert when he was three years old. On the way home from the park, his parents asked what he had heard: "Cootie, cootie, cootie" was his reply.
Influenced by his musical mother, Cootie started playing trombone in his school's marching band. He soon switched to tuba, as his arms were still too short for the trombone slide. After hearing Cootie play "Twelfth Street Rag" on a borrowed horn, his band teacher switched him to trumpet when he was eight years old.
That same year, Cootie's mother died giving birth to twins. Afterward, his father insisted Cootie continue with music and hired a local trumpet teacher, Charles Lipskin who had once played with New Orleans Excelsior Jazz Band. The relationship lasted seven more years, with Cootie delivering clothes for Lipskin's cleaning and pressing shop in exchange for lessons.
At fourteen, Williams spent a summer in the family band of Willis Handy Young, playing alongside tenor saxophonist Lester Young, who was a year older. By sixteen, he had played in numerous bands around Mobile, and was constantly exposed to New Orleans bands in town for one-nighter's, hearing performers like trumpeter Kid Punch and clarinetist Edmund Hall. Soon after William's father allowed him to travel with Hall to join up with a band in Jacksonville, Florida.
A year later, Hall and Williams ended up with Alonzo Ross, leader of a Florida territory band called the Ross Deluxe Syncopators. Listening to one of the band's recordings, the owner of Brooklyn's renowned Rosemount Ballroom heard the band and invited them to perform.
In 1928, after a grueling trip by steamship from Savannah, Georgia, Cootie Williams arrived in New York City. Growing up he had listened intensely to Louis Armstrong, who often performed at the Rosemount. Williams saw a lot of Louis, and was soon working with two of the Harlem's most popular bandleaders: pianist Fletcher Henderson and drummer Charlie "Chick" Webb.
At this time, the bands led by Henderson and Webb were upping each other's ante, in a race to round out the rhythms of jazz to make them more danceable. Working alongside sidemen saxophonists Benny Carter and Coleman Hawkins suddenly put Cootie Williams' deep driving sound at the cutting edge of Jazz.
Williams' technique rocketed his first year in New York. Obsessed with the emerging sound of Swing, Henderson's band had upped the ante in musical innovation and technique. For Williams success meant digging back to his roots, his years of disciplined lessons with Liskin, which had given Cootie a better range of music reading skills and the ability to play in harder keys.
In 1929, Duke Ellington asked Cootie to take Bubber Miley's chair in his orchestra. Over the next ten years Williams matured into his own style, aided by Ellington's willingness to feature Cootie's trumpet in countless solos under the Cotton Club's spotlight.
His horn can be heard in several pivotal Ellington recordings, including "Caravan" and "Echoes of Harlem." But "Concerto for Cootie," (also known as "Do Nothing Until You Hear From Me") stands out for the total revelation of Williams' diverse styles and moods, from steamy Harmon mute to growling plunger to brassy cascading hi notes. This was a remarkable departure for a band in the 1930's honoring a mere sideman's virtuosity, yet Cootie's flair inspired both the audience and the band.
In his decade with the Duke, Williams also lead sessions with vibraphone master Lionel Hampton and Billie Holiday. But Cootie became restless after he performed as a featured guest at Benny Goodman's Carnegie Hall Concert in 1938. In an interview with author Stanley Dance, Cootie spoke of his love for the beat of Benny Goodman's band, and of his admiration for Goodman as a musician.
Williams received hundreds of hate mail letters after jumping to Goodman's band on November 6, 1940. While he had the Duke's blessing to cash in on his fame and join the Goodman band, many jazz enthusiasts viewed his decision as little less than treason. The controversy even inspired bandleader and composer Raymond Scott to write a hit tune, "When Cootie Left The Duke."
Williams stayed one year with the Goodman Sextet before deciding to become a bandleader in his own right. In the 1940s, the Cootie Williams Band featured players such as pianist Bud Powell, tenorman Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, alto saxophonist/singer Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, and the volatile alto king, Charlie Parker. After his experience with Parker, Williams had claimed that he never drank before having his own band. The band peaked during World War II, traveling from coast to coast, and having several hits, including "Round Midnight," which Williams co-authored with Thelonious Monk, when Monk did a brief stint on piano with the band.
By 1948, Williams had cut the numbers of his band down to a sextet. The same year he had an R & B hit called "Gator," a success that owed much to Willis Jackson's rackety tenor. The sextet worked steadily for seven years at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, as Cootie's fame waned. He drifted through the late 1950s and early 1960s, at one point becoming a musical director for ballad singer Belle Barth.
William's resurfaced in 1962, first sitting on in for one last gig with Benny Goodman. Then, after a 22-year absence, Cootie Williams rejoined the Duke Ellington Orchestra and remained a fixture well past the Duke's death in 1974. Some said Cootie's chops were shot by then. Certainly his solos had lost their edge and bravado.
Cootie Williams retired from the Ellington Orchestra in 1978. He died in New York City on September 15, 1985.
Cootie is remembered as a master of the plunger mute. Yet he was far more than a "trick" trumpeter: blessed with a melodic gift that rivalled Louis Armstrong's and an unusual depth of musical skill, the man with the slouched horn advanced the trumpet from the New Orleans sound into Big Band Swing and beyond.

Students and Families Challenge California's Tenure Laws in Court
Source: Students Matter (from studentsmatter.org)
February 24, 2014
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
In mid-January, the California Superior Court in Los Angeles opened the case Vergara v. California, a lawsuit that argues that the state's tenure policy impedes students' abilities to achieve an adequate education. In what may become the most monumental decision in California education, students have filed suit against the state's adherence to a broken tenure system.
Nine students filed the lawsuit, under the claim that "every child everywhere deserves great teachers," a proposition they believe California does not uphold. According to the plaintiffs, 3 California laws lead to students receiving a mediocre education from teachers who are unqualified, yet immune to the threat of termination based on performance. The plaintiffs hope to convince the court to declare these laws unconstitutional, as they inhibit students' abilities to receive the education the state says they deserve. The facets of tenure that Vergara v. California focuses on are:
The Permanent Employment Statute, through which administrations can grant teachers job security after only 18 months of teaching, hardly enough time to judge the capabilities of that teacher.
Dismissal Status, which, as it exists, is a costly and inefficient process that discourages schools from removing a teacher, despite his or her inefficacy — it is currently estimated to cost anywhere between $100,000 and $450,000 to remove a tenured teacher in California).
The "Last-In, First-Out" Layoff Statute, which pits young teachers against countless problems, such as a poor economy, that are solved by seniority. The result is that unproven teachers are laid off, while senior teachers remain protected, regardless of job performance.
Recently, as litigation has progressed, the court is nearing a decision, although the ruling is not yet predictable. Last week, the plaintiffs called their final witnesses to the stand. The result of the questioning and cross examination showed tremendous flaws in California's teacher employment laws. The Vice President and Managing Director for State Policy for the National Council on Teacher Quality, Sandi Jacobs, rated California's tenure policies as an overall D+ (although if California's current removal process is any indication, a performance that poor will almost never lead to change).
Despite the well-established and well-documented failures of the state's tenure laws, declaring the legislation unconstitutional is another question. Not only will it be difficult to show that the laws violate California's constitution, but this state's poor tenure laws do not stray far from the national norms. With a case so complex, it may very well be that the court will choose to follow the precedents set by dozens of other states with similar tenure policies.
Still, as the case draws to a close, students, parents, and teachers are all awaiting what could be one of the most monumental changes in educational policy in the state's history. Regardless of the exact ruling, however, the decision will mark an historical moment for teachers and students across the state.

The big men or "kings" of the various cultures of the lagoons region of coastal Cote d'Ivoire have, since at the least the 17th century, displayed their wealth in the form of gold pendant ornaments and figurines made using the lost-wax casting method. Gold pieces were accumulated by families, with additions made by aspiring social climbers who, as the Ebrie say: "add to the family chest." Recognition of wealth through annual public "exhibitions of gold" is required for those wishing to become an age-grade official or village head. The objects are either laid out on a table for inspection or strung together and worn around the neck or in the hair of men and their female family members.
The imagery on the pieces reminds the viewer of the supernatural qualities assigned to gold; the faces of the ancestors, whose spiritual powers protect the big man's treasure are often depicted. Animals, including the bull are also popular symbols of masculine strength.

Postini is a service that Google provides for all Connecticut College faculty and staff email accounts. It is not available for student accounts. It's main benefit for staff and faculty is that it provides an extra level of spam filtering on your email account.
You can log in to your Postini account by opening this page https://login.postini.com/ and then clicking on the "Postini Login" link on the right side of that page. If the password that you entered is incorrect there will be a link that you can use to have Postini send you a new temporary password for your account.
All incoming email addressed to faculty and staff email accounts are passed through Postini's spam filters first before being delivered to your Google account. Any emails suspected of being spam or containing a virus attachment are quarantined.
Once a day, usually around 9 p.m., Postini sends an email to you listing all of the messages that were quarantined that day. There is a link in those emails that will take you to your Postini "Message Center" where you can browse all quarantined messages from the past 30 days as well as adjust the sensitivity settings of the spam filters and add email addresses to your whitelist so that messages from those addresses are never quarantined. Quarantined messages are deleted after 30 days.
If an email that you are expecting hasn't arrived and it's not in your Google Mail spam folder, then you should remember to check your Postini quarantine rather than waiting for the quarantine email to arrive that night.
Note: If you try to add too many addresses to your whitelist, you will get a "value too long" error message. This will happen when you exceed the 4000-character limit for all of your whitelisted addresses. The only solution is to review your approved senders list and look for any duplicates and delete them to free up some space. This page explains how you can find the total number of characters your approved senders list is currently using viewing the full headers on a message that has been processed by Postini. To do this you need to look at an email that was quarantined which you then clicked on the Deliver button to have it delivered to your Inbox. Then open that message in Google Mail and click on the down triangle next to the "Reply" button and choose "Show Original". Towards the end of all the header information you should find the "X-pstn-addresses:" header at the end of which you will see two numbers in brackets - the first is the total number of characters that your approved senders list is using, the second number is the number of addresses in your approved sender list.

Bathroom Curtains - The Soft Touch
You can be adventurous with your choice of bathroom curtains and still let them serve their practical purpose if need be.
We've chosen a small bathroom to illustrate the difference that unusual bathroom window curtains can make.
* By choosing a shimmering, fanciful fabric (as opposed to a heavy brocade), the curtain does not overpower the proportions of the room. On the contrary, it adds to the illusion of height by drawing the eye upwards.
* The gentle curve of the drape softens the lines of this rectangular bathroom and echoes the shapes of the basins.
* It does not restrict the natural light, seeing that the room has a relatively small window. The frosted glass ensures privacy for this particular bathroom, so there's no need to cover the window with traditional curtains or blinds.
If you are not comfortable having only frosted glass, you can have a very simple roman blind to cover the window and use the softening drape.
Note how the curve of the drape bisects and breaks the top edge of the window.
Imaginative bathroom window treatments like this become the focal point of a relatively small bathroom. It also adds a sense of the exotic when taking a long hot soak in that bath. Do take note of the generous lengths of fabric hanging down - this is not the time to skimp on a few feet of fabric. You could also tie a knot in the vertical lengths or puff them up around a beautiful cord.
Installing the curtain rods is very simple or you can copy the look
with wide towel rails. Taking the drape down for cleaning will only take a
minute - so will putting it back. The real advantage though, is that you can
change the fabric very easily and cost effectively, whenever the mood takes
Talking about different moods: You can easily change the look or introduce a different texture with the use of an exquisite length of fabric from the East, hemp fiber gauze, sheer voile or delicate lace - the choice is endless.
Having modern fixtures with simple clean lines does not mean you have to follow the same design principle in your bathroom curtains.
A luxurious floor-length velvet curtain is used to great effect in this powder room.
Note how the choice of color was influenced by the mosaic tile border. And of course,
a curtain like this deserves the full treatment: a beautiful cord and tassel
trim. Rich fabric such as this can make the whole room more inviting - and make
a statement!
You can use sheer fabric for a lighter touch. Just because a window has certain dimensions, it does not mean that you are restricted in the proportions of your bathroom window curtains.
If the surrounding space is restrictive, a
solution is to use an asymmetrical curtain as in these two bathroom photographs.
Using valances, drapes or brocades need not be restricted to the entertainment areas of the house.
Styling a bathroom with a chandelier, marble and luxury finishes calls for an equally dramatic window treatment.
Choosing a color that blends in, rather than a contrasting color is perfect for this master bathroom.
You do not need to spend a lot of money on the fabric for your bathroom window curtains.
An inexpensive cotton fabric can be used very effectively. Add extra length to drape on the floor and give it the designer look with the curtain heading.
* Add something different: crystal drops, shells, satin ribbon, leather ...
* Choose a beautiful set of finials or tie-backs to complement the hardware in your bathroom.
* Be sure to confirm with the fabric store whether you should pre-shrink your fabric before manufacturing your bathroom curtains.

As it was reported in the Public Opinion on Saturday, February 22 , an arbitrator ruled that former Chambersburg Area Senior High School (CASD) boy's basketball coach Shawn Shreffler should not only be reinstated but deserves almost two years of back pay. Shreffler was fired in April 2012 by the Chambersburg Area School Board who voted to not renew his contract for the next school year. Over the course of the 15 seasons that he was employed as the head basketball coach, the Trojans had 241 wins and two-time District 3 Class AAA title holders. Although the school board responded that they did not have to explain their reason for not renewing his contract, Shreffler asserted that he was fired in response to complaints about his language in the locker room and coaching style. The school board became involved after a report was made that Shreffler used a foul word in his conversation with the players on the team in the locker room. At the April 25 school board meeting, a former student and the parent of a former player spoke out against Shreffler complaining that he treated the players unfairly and yelled at the boys on the team humiliating them in front of their peers. More than 20 people attending the meeting spoke out in support of Shreffler who was moved to hear his current and former students tell the school board that they credited him as a coach and role model. In a closed executive session, the school board voted in a 5-4 decision to remove Shreffler from his coaching position.
Shreffler challenged the dismissal stating that as an employee of the school district that he was protected by the union's collective bargaining agreement and was not provided due process. Shreffler alleged in his complaint that he was not given advance notice that his employer had a complaint about his work performance and was not given the opportunity to defend himself or improve his behavior. According to the Pennsylvania State Education Association, public school employees are entitled to a due process hearing prior to any action being taken including termination. Known as a Loudermill hearing, the employee is to be notified of the charges against them, given a summary of the evidence, and the opportunity to defend themselves. Shreffler stated that the school board failed to notify him that he was a subject to be discussed at the next meeting and only became aware of the same after viewing it by happenstance on the online agenda two days before the executive session. After reviewing the complaint and the school board's appeal, the arbitrator ruled in favor of Shreffler.
Shreffler, who has been employed by the CASD for 21 years, has been a 5th grade teacher at Hamilton Heights Elementary School for 14 years. The Public Opinion was unable to reach him for a comment but spoke to his wife, Kris, who believes that he intends to accept the reinstatement into the position as the Trojan's head basketball coach which has been held by Beau Gantz for the past two seasons. As it stands now, the school district has 30 days to appeal the arbitrator's decision which would essentially keep the matter under litigation and unresolved. There was no comment from the school district's spokesperson, but at least two school board members said that they would not challenge the decision which would pave the way for Shreffler to get his job back for the 2014/2015 school year.
Following Shreffler's dismissal at least 2,000 people signed an online petition through Change.org demanding the basketball coach's reinstatement. Zach Bowie, who created the petition, referred to Shreffler as a "great coach" and a "good person" with an "outstanding record" who was "unfairly let go". Comments on the page were overwhelmingly supportive of Shreffler getting his job back. John Burgoon said that he coached with Shreffler for over 20 years and "am not about to leave him now". Others thought that the school board's decision was influenced by a few complaints and that they did not consider the majority of people who appreciated Shreffler's no-nonsense tough coaching style. Kenll Shull said in reference to student and parent complaints that "no coach should be fired for being a Coach, tell the kid to grow up and tell mommy to cut the apron strings". Georgia Blevins alleged that Shreffler was fired for "personal dislike (not professional reasons)" and thought that the school board did not follow proper voting process.
While it may be that Shreffler was the type of aggressive coach who did not mince words with the players on the team, this was not a recreational basketball league where every player receives a trophy just for showing up. A varsity team playing a sport at that level in high school is going to be instructed how to play aggressively so they can compete against the opposing team and win. That type of coaching may sound mean to a parent or student player used to positive reinforcement in a sport where winning is not as much the goal as it is just to have fun. In a recreational league, the coach is going to yell out "good job" or "nice try" if the player misses a basket whereas a member on a varsity league might expect to get reamed out by their coach for the same thing. Coaches have certain expectations of high school students that they do not have for elementary students playing the same sport. Those expectations continue to increase as a player moves up through the ranks. The student or parent who quivers from foul language or comments that seem demeaning will have hard time adjusting to being coached on a college level sports team where no one really gives a rats behind if someone's feelings were hurt. Just the same, the arbitrator's decision was not influenced by Shreffler's likeability as a coach one way or the other as it all came down to failure to provide due process.

Thursday, August 12,
In which Harry attends his hearing,
Fudge continues to disbelieve him
about Voldemort's return, and
Dumbledore arrives to assist
Mrs. Figg testifies and
Harry is cleared of all charges.
Interesting facts and notes about the text of this chapter:
In this chapter, we have our second experience of the wizarding
criminal justice system, the first having been through Dumbledore's
Pensieve in GF30. Instead of
just flashes of the high points of the ending of various trials,
this time we experience an entire hearing, and it does not bode
well for the fate of civil rights in the wizarding world.
We also learn a number of small details, such as the full names
(including middle names) of various members of the court and of
those speaking before it.
The walls were bare; there were no windows and no doors apart from
a plain black one set at the very end of the corridor.
The large dungeon he had entered was horribly familiar. He had not only seen
it before, he had been here before. This was the place he had visited inside
Dumbledore's Pensieve, the place where he had watched the Lestranges
sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban.
A cold male voice rang across the courtroom. "You're late."
"An owl was sent to you this morning. Take your seat."
"Dumbledore. Yes. You - er - got our - er - message that the time
and -er - place of the hearing had been changed, then?"
"I must have missed it," said Dumbledore cheerfully. "However,
due to a lucky mistake I arrived at the Ministry three hours early, so
no harm done."
When he sat gingerly on the edge of the chair the chains clinked
threateningly, but did not bind him.
Percy's eyes, behind his horn-rimmed glasses, were fixed on his
parchment, a quill poised in his hand.
Harry James Potter, resident at number four, Privet Drive, Little Whinging,
Cornelius Oswald Fudge, Minister for Magic
Amelia Susan Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement
Dolores Jane Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary to the Minister
Court Scribe, Percy Ignatius Weasley
A powerful emotion had risen in Harry's chest at the sight of Dumbledore,
a fortified, hopeful feeling rather like that which phoenix song gave him.
a squashy chintz armchair appeared out of nowhere
"We have no record of any witch or wizard living in Little Whinging,
other than Harry Potter," said Madam Bones at once. "That
situation has always been closely monitored, given...given past
Even Bagman wouldn't have bet...
"Oh, I don't think any of us believe the Dementors were there by
coincidence," said Dumbledore lightly.
The witch sitting to the right of Fudge, with her face in shadow, moved
slightly but everyone else was quite still and silent.
"But naturally, you would not care how many times you heard from
a witness, if the alternative was a serious miscarriage of
justice," said Dumbledore.
"...he blew up his aunt, for God's sake!"
"Oho!" said Fudge. "Not our business what he
does at school, eh? You think so?"

Exceptional character moments:
Dumbledore's defense of Harry is great fun, especially when he turns

Harry blowing up his aunt:
"And you very kindly did not press charges on that occasion.

control their emotions."

There is a lot of twitter 'n' talk in the techie world about storing and retrieving data of all kinds from "the cloud." That's tech speak for the Internet or cyberspace, in case you didn't already know. I like the term; it's so ethereal.
The experts are predicting that eventually hard drives will become redundant and that all the information in the world, including music, movies and videos, will be tucked away in some "heavenly" location where we'll be able to retrieve it from any place that offers Internet access.
So what about medical records?
I think the cloud is the perfect place for them.
My dream electronic health records system is Internet-based. This means the records are accessible to any provider or patient at any time from any location with wi-fi or smart phone capability. And I'm talking about all records – lab reports, X-rays, cardiograms, op reports, hospital and office records, living will and/or power-of-attorney and anything else that you want to include in your records.
All of this would come with super security, of course, but how great would it be to have everything available at the click of a mouse to whomever might need it?
There actually are a few health systems that offer Internet-based records. It took getting used to, according to those whom I interviewed. For instance, some physicians balked at the idea of patients having access to anything in their records, but the doctors eventually got accustomed to it. (Legally, the records belong to the patient anyway, and are always available upon request.)
And for the chronically ill who may have multiple providers, Internet-based records are a godsend, according to a patient I interviewed in 2009 who was part of a pilot program conducted by a large hospital in New York City. Once her records were on the Internet, she was thrilled to forego dragging papers from one doctor's office to another, or hoping that one office sends the records to another. She no longer undergoes duplicate tests, and her doctors can always instantly find out which tests have been completed and which results are pending. For the first time, this patient felt that all her physicians were on the same page.
Medical records stored in the cloud could also eliminate the problem of non-compatible computer systems.
There are days when I feel as though I'm barely surviving when it comes to electronic technology. If just one of my electronic gadgets doesn't work (computer, cell phone, high-def television, digital camera, digital clock, digital radio, MP3 player, microwave or Kindle), I feel like someone is out to get me.
But when everything works, it's heaven.
What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of electronic medical records?
Are the electronic medical records in your workplace user friendly?
How do you feel about Internet-based medical records? Could they offer advantages for some types of situations that you face?
Tell us about it.

Electronic Medical Records: Put Them in 'The Cloud'
There is a lot of twitter 'n' talk in the techie world about storing and retrieving data of all kinds from "the cloud." That's tech speak for the Internet or cyberspace, in case you didn't already know. I like the term; it's so ethereal.
6 comments:
1)The advantage of EMR, it is easily accessible with the system. It also give room for minimal medication or documentation error.
2)The EMR at the VA system are very user friendly. As soon as you lock in user name and password, the patient information can easily be obtained by using their social security number or scanning their wrist bracelets. Everything from Labs, radiography to consultation is avalaible to be seen by the nurse or the provider.
3)Internet base medical records could be a great tool for the 21st century in that vpatient records, labs, consultation and radiology results can easily be found in the internet.
Ye, it could offer significant advantages in that the internet can easily be browse at any location that have a wireless connection.

I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and work in the area of psychiatric nursing. We have actually been using electronic health records for the last several years, and I have found them beneficial for several reasons.
1. all physician orders are inputted into EHR, so accessing a patients medications is easy and helps reduce subsequent medication errors.
2. reading progress notes for a patient is more efficiently done. A person is able to read progress or changes in a patients medical condition very easily, without having to interpret or misinterpret a persons handwriting. Once again there is less of chance for error or misinterpretation.
3. Services between units and hospitals are streamlined and made more efficient. I can access a patients CBC result through a click of the mouse, as can the physician, at the same time! No need to wait for the patients chart to document while someone else reads it or uses it during report.
4. Once again, a reduction in medication errors. Pharmacy accesses all medication orders through EHR, as do physicians and nurses. It keeps things simple and clear.
5. A nurse or doctor is able to access the medical history of a person from 2 years ago for example. This is definitely conducive to planning an effective plan of care.
Disadvantages are few in my opinion and easily overcome. Lots of the older nurses and doctors have a difficult time adjusting to using the computer, especially if they do not have a habit of doing so. I have seen a few doctors completely refuse to document into the computer, until being forced to in the end. Through proper guidance and a helpful IT department this problem is easily overcome. With time things resolve themselves, and people develop the confidence to use EHR. You can always email me at email@example.com
Your blog is very interesting and I will be back!!!

Thank you for reading and commenting on the blog. If we were taking a poll, I think most medical personnel would be in favor of EHR. One older doctor told me he's glad they are being implemented within his 100+ doctor group because it forces him to learn new things. it gets frustrating once in a while, but also has so many more advantages. I've found that many nurses and doctors like being able to log into the EHR systems from home. they'd rather finish the days work from their home than sit in the office. The ability to access records from off site is also a tremendous benefit to on-call nurses and physicians.

The objective was to study Orthomyxovirus in heterothermic animals. Blood samples from snakes (genus Bothrops and Crotalus) and from toads and frogs (genus Bufo and Rana) were collected to evaluate the red cell receptors and antibodies specific to influenza virus by the hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition tests, respectively. Both snakes and toads kept in captivity presented receptors in their red cells and antibodies specific to either influenza virus type A (human and equine origin) or influenza type B. The same was observed with recently captured snakes. Concerning the influenza hemagglutination inhibition antibodies protective levels were observed in the reptiles' serum, against influenza type A and type B. Unlike the toads, 83.3% of the frogs presented mean levels of Ab 40HIU for some influenza strains. It was concluded that heterothermic animals could offer host conditions to the influenza virus and also susceptibility to the infection.

From malaria-ridden marshland to international center of tourism, the story of Alaçatı.
In the mid-1850's, when he had been Ottoman Grand Vezir for only forty days, Hacı Memiş Ağa's ship was caught in a storm returning from Algeria. The vezir and his entourage took refuge in a small harbor not normally accustomed to the arrival of so many important ships at once. The anomaly drew the attention of the local notables who wondered who had come and if the new arrivals could solve their problems. And so the hospitable people of the region we know today as Alaçatı hosted their unexpected guests. Never suspecting how it would alter their fate.
The people of Alaçatı had a chronic problem. A swamp that extended inland from the harbor along the Yumru River caused malaria, and malaria in turn caused death. The leading men of Alaçatı pleaded with the important guests the storm had forced to take refuge in their harbor to drain the swamp and thereby put a stop to the endless round of deaths. And Hacı Memiş Ağa obliged by ordering the swamp to be drained at once.
Thus began the draining of the swamp. Greek workers were brought in from the neighboring islands. The Buca, Osman Ağa and Sülemis Rivers were dredged to ensurethat rainwater flowed into the swamp. The banks of the Yumru were reinforced with walls, creating an outlet from the swamp to the sea. The swamp was drained with the help of rainwater as well as the natural circulation of the river water. Meanwhile the workers brought over from the islands settled at Alaçatı and intermingled with the local people.
Through the mediation of a prominent statesman who took refuge in their port during a storm, Alaçatı conquered its unfortunate fate and was ridded of the swamp that had been decimating its population. Thanks to the islanders, who knew the local geography well, crops were raised that were suitable to the agricultural conditions created by the area's clean air and abundant winds, paving the way to a new economic order that would achieve international fame.
The people of Alaçatı quickly planted vineyards as well as olive, almond, fig and terebinth trees. They processed the grapes they grew in their vineyards in a factory they built at the harbor, from where they also marketed abroad the local olives (hurma zeytin), olive oil, dried figs and almonds they raised. Meanwhile they created a town of narrow streets lined with hipped-roof stone houses with cantilevered wooden balconies where living was a pleasure.
Having built their houses in line with the wind patterns and with little exposure to the sun, they also laid out the streets in line with the prevailing breezes, inviting the winds that would virtually transform their fate. In short, they established a new way of life shaped by the soil, the climate and sheer hard work, now drying grapes on their rooftops, now airing earthenware jars in their cellars.
In 1914 Muslim refugees of Albanian and Bosnian descent arrived in Alaçatı from the Balkans. These refugees were livestock farmers by trade. But a different economic and social order reigned in Alaçatı. In the Population Exchange that followed the Lausanne Treaty, a second wave of refugees from Salonica arrived in the spring of 1924, bringing with them their livelihood of tobacco-growing. Strangers to tobacco, both the soil and the long-standing residents soon came to know it well at Alaçatı. But the introduction of tobacco changed the economic structure of the region as vineyards, olive groves, figs, almonds and terebinth gave way to tobacco fields. Because the region's climate was not conducive to raising tobacco, Alaçatı barely scraped by for many years, stewing in its own juices. People even migrated away from the town, providing the cities with workers, ironworks and cement factories. Then, in the 1970's there was migration into Alaçatı again, this time from Anatolia. It wasn't long before melons were being grown and exported abroad.
At the start of the 1990's Alaçatı's fate was once again transformed by the wind, its virtual soul, which this time brought surfing to the town. With steady winds in the absence of breakers, Alaçatı turned out to be one of the most suitable sites in the world for the sport of surfing.
The first wind surfing club opened in Alaçatı in 1993. Enclosed on three sides and open to the sea only on the south, Yumru bay provides a sense of security reinforced by the mountains to the east. Since the bay is mostly shallow with a sandy bottom, even those who barely knew how to swim had no trouble learning to surf here.
Early in 2000, Alaçatı made a rapid return to the global agenda with its stone-built hotels and surfing beaches, waking up from its long slumber as if in defiance of its painful past. As the locals like to put it, 'ecotourism' created its own economy. The area's coastlines were protected, wind surfing and kite surfing clubs opened, world championships were held; one by one the stone houses were restored and a plethora of small hotels, each more charming than the last, opened for business. Restaurants vied with each other in offering excellent service and outstanding tastes, and vineyards, olives, terebinth and lavender reemerged on the national agenda.
Alaçatı today is an area with some of the loveliest small hotels in Turkey. Most of them restored stone houses over 150 years old, these hotels literally spellbind visitors with their harmony of old and new. Owned and operated mainly by women, they offer with an array of local sweets. Homemade jams, hurma zeytin (a breed of olive) grown only on the peninsula, and country eggs make up the memorable breakfasts served by Alacatı's hotels. If your travels happen to bring you to Alaçatı one day, whatever your age don't leave without visiting one of the surfing schools which serve everyone from seven to seventy. As you stroll through the market, be sure to try the lemon ice cream and milk pudding made with gum mastic. Know, too, that you will regret it if you don't sample some village bread from one of the local bakeries with their authentic wood-burning ovens, some Izmir cheese in a goatskin from the Saturday market, and the tomatoes and white onions grown on the plain. If you happen to be there in October or November, don't forget to ask about the local 'hurma zeytin'. Make the acquaintance of the terebinth trees that grow only at Çeşme Alaçatı and on the island of Chios. Have a gift sachet of lavender made up for yourself with its unique windy fragrance. Savor the pleasure of relaxing and cat-napping in the stone-built hotels surrounded by gardens in the town's back streets. For a good time, meet your friends at the restaurants, sip tea or coffee in the cafes...
The wind that crossed Hacı Memiş Ağa's path and made him take refuge in the harbor transformed Alaçatı's unfortunate fate some 150 years ago. That same wind, which later made the region's grapes, olives and lavender different from all others, still continues its age-old dance today, frolicking with the surfers, wafting the scent of lavender, ripening the local olives. Enhancing the flavor of the vegetables grown on the plain, at the same time it drives wind turbines to generate electrical power.
Created to protect the architectural fabric and social structure as well as the environment, 'ecotourism' also breathes life into the economy. The electricity generated by wind turbines creates sustainable energy resources. Thanks to the wind, surfing stations make a major contribution to tourism. Who knows? Perhaps Alaçatı is going to emerge one day as a 'slow city' of peace, tranquility and joie de vivre.

Themeless Thursday Five at 5 for your eargasming needs. Take it and go.
The Indiecision Five at 5 is our attempt at sharing our musical tastes with you, and showcasing music from around the world. Each weekday at 5pm sharp, one NH7 writer or staffer will bring you five songs he/she is listening to on the day. Today, resident photo ninja/hungry person/coffee addict Shalaka Pai brings you tracks that she's falling in love with. Plug n' play, bitches.
1. How To Destroy Angels_ – 'Ice Age'
So there I was, idly letting the semi-drone sounds of Welcome Oblivion, How To Destroy Angels_' debut LP, wash over me as I worked, and then 'Ice Age' began to play. I remember doing a double-take and actually going back to the player to see what the song was called. 'Ice Age' feels like it was spawned by some acoustic folksy band, and nowhere within the track do you see the almost industrial sounds that dominate the rest of the album. It's quite a nice change, I must say. And oh my, that voice.
2. The Glitch Mob – 'Animus Vox'
Five at 5 is about new music, but it's also about music that we're listening to right now, isn't it? While Drink The Sea is a couple of years old, for me it's a recent discovery and I've been playing this on loop for the past week. Why? Because it's a perfect soundtrack to my nights of wine-soaked solitude. I can shut my eyes and listen to 'Animus Vox' and choreograph complicated contemporary dance performance videos in my head, I can listen to 'Fortune Days' and marvel at its similarity to a classic breakbeat, and I can lie back on my terrace with some liquid confidence, look at the stars and listen to the whole damn album till I fall asleep. 'Animus Vox' is probably my favourite track off the album, simply because it sounds like the soundtrack to an epic. Epic what? You decide.
3. Devoid – 'Brahma Weapon'
Devoid launched their EP, The Invasion last month (review). I was at the launch gig, and it was the most fun I'd had in a really, really long time (mostly because I was just getting back from a vacation where NOTHING happened). Anyway, I remember jumping around at the gig like a deranged frog. Devoid released their debut music video for 'Brahma Weapon' yesterday, and I took the time to actually listen to the track properly and once again, it made me grin a lot, as did the video. Crazy eyes plus sledgehammer plus riffriffriffriff, always fun. That little drum section at the end just makes it for me. See?
4. Mogwai – 'Special N'
Oh man. I literally just discovered this right now. The Glaswegian post-rock act's February release, Les Revenants, is actually a soundtrack to a French TV series of the same name, and get this: the TV show is about Zombies. I discovered all this while quickly reading through a couple of reviews of the album (here, and here) and now I'm actually a bit curious to see the show. This is the kind of music-without-lyrics that I'd listen to while alone at home, semi-doom, ambient, with a vague sense of foreboding. 'Special N' is quite sweet, really. I'd imagine it to be set to the part of Les Revenants where people find hope, or zombies fall in love or something. Or, as a YouTube comment on the video below stated, "I can imagine to the moment just before sunrises when I listen to this…". Give it a listen.
5. Kavinksy – 'Roadgame'
French house artist Kavinsky's newest album Outrun is named after a SEGA driving game, and indeed, it does sound a little like something you'd hear in an old-school racing game. I'm in favour of 'Roadgame' because, it has some sort of strange drama to it, right before the buildup. It's a great track to put on a workout playlist, to simply move around to, or even to drown out your loud colleagues while you imagine that you're a humongous transformer that's stomping around Mumbai roads.
Check out previous editions of Five at 5 here, and stay tuned for more picks from NH7, Monday through Friday.

This blog reflects my subjective views and nothing more. If you disagree – which is encouraged – feel free to voice your opinion (in a civil manner) in the comments section. Also, I am always open to constructive criticism of the writing format, phrasing, etc.
Hello and welcome back to yet another edition of the Weekly Rundown hosted by yours truly, Guy Landau. This is a weekly feature on WrestlingNewsWorld.com where I gloss over the important happenings in WWE & TNA week as it pertains to the companies' respective major shows, in the form of bulletins for the positive happenings (under the "YES!" column, and prefaced with + signs), the negative happenings (under the "NO!" column, and prefaced with – signs), and the ones I could not decide what they were, but felt they were important enough to comment on (Under the "Maybe?" column, and prefaced with ? signs).
So without further ado, let's get started.
+ I really liked the opening video, and the new logo and styling works for me.
+ I loved how the DX segment was nostalgia but also incorporated the present and future in Sandow. It fit gimmick-wise for him to interfere, and it gave the segment an extra oomph.
+ I liked Slater vs. Lita to cap off the angle.
+ The WWE Universe overwhelmingly pulled for Punk to face Rock at the Rumble! I must say, I expected a much different result.
+ I was really pulling for a Punk heel turn! Thank God it happened!
+ Very good opener by Christian and Miz
+ Very interesting that WWE showed only touts supporting Punk's actions on Smackdown.
+ I actually laughed a bit at the "How to last more than 18 seconds" joke.
+ Rhodes vs. Sheamus was very good as well. I think Ziggler could've been handled better, however.
+ Notice how Jericho has not uttered a single word since his feud with Ziggler started, yet he's drawing huge face reactions.
Impact Wrestling
+ Sam Shaw was impressive. He needs some work, but from what I can tell the contract offered is a development one, meaning he'll have time to hone his craft before we actually get to see him again. If that is the case I am all for signing Shaw as he is a great talent.
+ I LOLed at Aries and Darsow's conversation about his father being a sympathizer. It's not that Darsow doesn't have flash that's the problem, but rather that even his "mean streak" is very much lacking.
+ Aries & King vs. Roode and Zema next week will be great.
– The outside the door segment that included Mae Young's son, in that Mae Young's hand-son should be 12 today. That hand was NOT twelve. Or black in any way, for that matter.
– The Sonic commercial was just… Ugh. American TV, how do you people put up with it?
– Swagger hits new lows by the week…
– I'm pretty sure only a select few in the audience recognized Brunette Trish. They should have made it clearer that it was her.
– THIS is the use of Charlie Sheen for RAW? That's the arrangement they made after his twitter closed? He obviously didn't know any of the superstars, and without his dozens of millions of twitter followers to advertise to he's pretty much useless to WWE.
– I would just like to point out that all of the jobbers Taker and Kane disposed of on RAW were above average talents.
– I must say I've been very underwhelmed with Cesaro so far. I am all for Santino dropping theUStitle, but I don't think Cesaro should be the person he drops it to.
– Sandow went a step backwards in his ring work once more. Since he doesn't really do much in the ring and doesn't get much real competition the only thing I can judge him on from his match against Yoshi Tatsu is his Russian Leg Sweep, which was once again (unlike last week) – you guessed it – not a leg sweep.
– OK, can someone please explain to me – if there is a lack of top heels, what was the idea behind turning Kane face?
Impact Wrestling
-Madison reveals her crush – and NOTHING comes of it for 3 weeks. The fact that I didn't even notice until Impact shows what little effect this storyline has.
– Why is Aries in charge of the number one contender? And why is the number one contender decided outside of the ring? Why not a good ol' fashioned fatal 4 way?
– TNA is trying to have every Impact main event be PPV level quality. You can't have guys kicking out of each other's finishers in a TV main event, it cheapens the moves. That means that on
– Too much 8A. You can't have them interfere in every single BFG series match.
– Where are the TV champion (who is supposed to defend weekly, mind you) and where is the Knockouts champion? Kaz and Daniels are usually prominently featured, so I'll give it a pass this week, but this isn't the first time for the other two. If you don't find them important enough to be on weekly TV as must-see, then you should not have strapped them in the first place.
? AJ as the GM?! That's… Different.
? JR's return, while welcome, was absolutely wasted on the 6 men tag. It would've fit better for the main event. Still, he returned, so that's something.
? Miz winning the IC title is interesting, I will wait to see what this means for both Miz and Christian.
? I'm not sure I like how the Lesnar segment went… Heyman agreeing after just that seems a tad too contrived for me. Besides, how come he agrees without asking Lesnar beforehand?
? Punk retains. At the same time, it sets the precedent for a MITB loss, which could plague the accomplishment forever. Now WWE can – and will – repeat it. Here's a scenario that wouldn't have ever happened if WWE had decided to allow unsuccessful cash-ins in the past: CM Punk's first MITB win was thanks to one Jeffrey Nero Hardy failing a drug test, as he was scheduled to win the match originally. Punk then went on to job for months to upper midcarders before cashing in on a prone Edge, and then went on to hold onto the title just barely for about 4 months. In that time he beat JBL clean, feuded with Orton and Batista (though made to look bad through it) and solidified himself as a potential top guy, which got him the shot for his second MITB win a year later. Now, if WWE would've allowed MITB winners to lose their championship matches, Punk would've most likely lost his first attempt, and hence he would not have been able to impress enough to get his second attempt, and would not be in any position to get such a promo last year on RAW. Basically, CM Punk would have very easily not been around as we know and love if it wasn't for the guarentee of MITB – which is now gone.
? I'm not sure how I feel about Del Rio getting another shot at Sheamus. If we consider that Bryan is potentially busy with Charlie Sheen it's the only viable option out of that match, but still.
? If I were to put my money on it I'd say Hogan is behind 8A – he's the only one we haven't directly seen attacked by 8A and in TNA logic it's smart to turn him predictably every year at BFG.
? I don't know what to think about Storm's angle with 8A quite yet. It's interesting that they refuse to touch him.
Weekly Comment Question:
Your question of the week is going to be: Would you have rather seen Cena walk out as champ on RAW1000 if it meant keeping MITB's guarentee?
Leave your answer in the comments section below, and don't forget to come back next weekend for a new edition of the Weekly Rundown!

There was a time when presenting a coupon to your local drug dealer in hopes of getting a couple of bucks knocked off would have resulted in you taking a beating or perhaps never being heard from again.
However, times are indeed changing, especially in parts of the country where recreational marijuana has finally become legal. Now, rather than fight for market share using strong arm tactics and street brutality, legal weed slingers in places like Colorado and Washington have been forced into competing for business using less violent measures -- like advertising and coupons.
In fact, many pot shops across Denver are now taking advantage of a new website called Canna-Saver, which the weed community has deemed the "Groupon of Marijuana," allowing dispensaries to offer a variety of doobie deals on the site for a monthly fee.
Canna-Saver founder Brian Shapiro says that even though he does not smoke marijuana, it was relatively easy to see the potential for monetary gain stemming from this estimated billion-dollar industry.
Shapiro says that after just four months in business, the website now offers 65 deals from 30 companies, one of which is reportedly two ounces of weed for $300 -- about a $50 savings.
Many dispensary owners say they are excited about the advent of a cannabis couponing site because marijuana users seem to be finding the site and responding to the offers.
Interestingly, Shapiro says that Canna-Saver is already earning $3,000 per month offering deals on medicinal marijuana. That figure is expected to rise exponentially in January when it becomes legal in Colorado to sell weed for recreational use.
Shapiro says that he believes his marijuana coupon company could be enough of a niche to become a major player in the competitive world of online commerce.
Just call him the Coupon Don.
