Austin Montgomery drove in three of SIU's 10 runs.
April 10, 2013
CARBONDALE, Ill. – Southern Illinois survived a ninth inning scare and hung on for a 10-9 win over Austin Peay Wednesday afternoon at Abe Martin Field. With the win, the Salukis have won three in a row and seven of their last nine to climb back to .500.
SIU (16-16) held a 10-6 lead over the Governors (25-9) with two outs and the bases empty in the ninth inning before the next five batters reached base to put the potential go-ahead run on base. Closer Todd Eaton began the inning with two groundouts then allowed a single to Brett Carlson and an RBI double to Rolando Gautier to cut the lead to 10-7.
The next two batters reached on run-scoring errors after SIU was twice one strike away from a victory. Following a walk that put two runners on, the Salukis finally escaped when Cody Daily fielded a ground ball at third base and stepped on the bag for a game-ending force out.
"We played eight good innings of baseball," SIU Coach Ken Henderson said. "We just need to working on finishing, but we got the last out. It's a W, and we'll take it."
The Governors had cut the lead to 9-6 in the top of the eighth with Michael Davis' two-run homer over the left field wall, but the Salukis extended the lead to 10-6 in the bottom of the eighth on Austin Montgomery's RBI single. Montgomery finished with three hits and three RBI.
Southern initially took command of the game in the sixth inning with a five-run rally, which broke a 4-4 tie. The Dawgs were helped by three walks, two errors and a hit batsman in the inning. With the bases loaded, Rennie Troggio hit a ground ball to second base, but the Governors misplayed a potential double play, allowing two runs to score and giving SIU a 6-4 lead. Following another error, Montgomery hit a two-run single and then scored on Luke Mottashed's RBI single to extend the lead to 10-4.
The big sixth inning gave Matt Murphy his third win of the season. He entered the game to start the fourth in a 4-4 tie and threw three perfect innings, the last of which coming in the top of the sixth.
"Murphy did another great job," Henderson said. "Both teams were in the bullpen in the fourth inning, then for him to throw up some zeroes and allow us to take the lead, I thought that was huge."
Austin Peay scored in each of the first three innings to built a 4-1 lead. Southern Illinois responded with three runs in the bottom of the third to tie the game at 4-4. In total, SIU scored eight unanswered runs from the bottom of the third through the end of the sixth inning to overcome that early 4-1 deficit.
Saluki Freshman Anthony Shimkus made his first start on the mound after eight relief appearances to start his career. He allowed four runs off five hits against a potent Austin Peay lineup and left after three innings with the game tied at 4-4. It was his longest outing of the year.
"To be honest, to get three innings out of Shimmy and have him leave with the ballgame tied in his first start, we'll accept that," Henderson said.
Southern Illinois has now scored 48 runs in its last three games, which matches the highest offensive output in a three-game stretch in school history. The Salukis will try to sustain that firepower against the Missouri Valley Conference's lowest ERA when Missouri State comes to town for a crucial three-game series starting Friday.

Choose From Our New Selection of Pick Guns for 2016 - Manuals and Electrics
The pick gun has evolved from the old bent wire contraption that was common decades ago and many different versions of the device have come and gone – but most modern versions use a specific manual design that defines the entire category and this design is virtually unchanged in models made by HPC, Lockaid, Southord, Brockhage and others. Electric models on the other hand have come and gone, but even here there remains one classic (EPG-1) and several newer innovations that so far are showing staying power. With all these choices it may be harder than ever to choose your favorite pick gun, but rest assured you really can't go wrong with any of these fine choices.

College Hockey:Huskies Upset Pioneers
St. Cloud State Outworks Denver to Earn First WCHA Win
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — St. Cloud State finally played a complete conference game.
The Huskies (6-4-0 overall, 1-3-0 WCHA) scored early, grabbed a 2-0 lead and held on as SCSU defeated Denver 4-2 Friday in front of 5,942 at the National Hockey Center.
The win was the first conference victory this season for St. Cloud State.
We came out slow, we werent ready to play, said Pioneers assistant captain Tyler Ruegsegger. They came out ready to play and pounced all over us right from the beginning.
The Huskies outshot the Pioneers (6-3-1 overall, 4-2-1 WCHA) 15-2 in the first period but led only 1-0 after 20 minutes. Garrett Roe took a fine pass from Jared Festler in the slot, made a move, and slipped the puck under Marc Cheverie at 4:46.
Denver escaped the first period otherwise unscathed, thanks in large part to Cheverie.
Sometimes he was lucky, sometimes he was just good, said Pioneers coach George Gwozdecky. We were lucky to be in the game at that point.
St. Cloud went up two five minutes into the second on a goal by David Carlisle. He shot from the point found its way through traffic and under the armpit of Cheverie at 5:17. Roe and Festler added assists.
Denver got on the board shortly thereafter, as Luke Salazar rifled a wrist shot past Jase Weslosky from the near circle. It was the freshmans seventh goal this season.
After a rough first period, Denver outshot SCSU 11-7 in the second period and trailed 2-1 headed to the third.
There were a couple of shifts where I think we started to get it going, Ruegsegger said. Then it kind of fell apart again.
Michael Olson made it 3-1 Huskies 4:40 into the third period. His goal would stand as the game winner, as the Pioneers would close back within one 1:19 later, but could not find the equalizer.
Patrick Wiercioch took advantage of a questionable diving call on SCSUs Ryan Lasch by lighting the lamp just 20 seconds into DUs third man advantage of the night. The goal was his fifth this season.
But St. Cloud again pushed their lead to two goals, as Aaron Marvin capped scoring with a pretty wrist shot that snuck just under the cross bar at 14:45. The goal was the sophomores fourth of the year.
You can call it desperation, you can call it hunger, you can call it urgency, Gwozdecky said. One group of skaters wanted a lot more than the other group.
Denver and St. Cloud State will play game two of the series Saturday at the National Hockey Center. Face off is set for 7:07 CST.

Help Us Support Those with Mental Illness
Mental Illness can take on many forms. Depression. Anxiety. Eating Disorders. From moodiness, to an inability to get out of bed, symptoms of mental illness don't look the same from person to person. The different disorders can be hard to understand.
That's where Mental Illness Awareness Week, which is October 4th through the 10th, comes in. It was established by Congress back in 1990, thanks to the efforts of The National Alliance on Mental Illness. NAMI now joins with other mental health advocates across the country to sponsor activities for public education about mental illness. This includes the annual NAMI Walk (now in its 9th year in Pittsburgh). This walk raises awareness and funding for the one in four adults across the country suffering from some form of mental illness each year.
As with any illness, treatment is key. Unfortunately, NAMI says about 60% of adults suffering from mental illness did not receive any mental health services in the last year. The affects of mental illness…can be deadly. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. It is the third leading cause of death for people aged 15 to 24. NAMI Studies have shown more than 90% of all people who commit suicide suffer from at least one or more mental disorders.
One way to start on the path to treatment is through free screenings for some of the various forms of mental illness. Thursday October 8th is National Depression Screening Day. According to Screening for Mental Health, NDSD is the nation's oldest voluntary, community-based screening program that provides referrals for treatment. Click here to take a free anonymous health screening online.
If you'd like to help those suffering from mental illness, you can take a step in the right direction by signing up for the NAMI 5k Walk in Pittsburgh. It is being held on Sunday, October 4th at 9 a.m. in SouthSide Works. Ohio Valley Hospital's Willow Brook Geropsychiatric Unit is a proud sponsor of the event. You can register for the walk here.
Understanding. Support. Treatment. These are all goals you can help meet this National Mental Illness Awareness Week. Join OVH in supporting the cause today!

Looking Back to at the School of Radiography s First Capping Ceremony
Ohio Valley Hospital's School of Radiography is celebrating its 50th Commencement in 2015. To commemorate the occasion, OVH uncovered a newspaper article from 1964. The article (featured below) puts a spotlight on a different type of ceremony our students once took part in.
Called the "capping exercise," this once-popular ritual for nursing and radiography students denoted their status as a student throughout the hospital hallways. These caps were worn by the juniors and seniors in our program. Read more about capping ceremonies here.
OVH's inaugural capping exercise in 1964 featured 7 students; three of whom would go on to make up the School of Radiography's first graduating class in 1965. These three seniors were Wilma Poluha, Lydia Kosarycz, and Suzanne Miller.
**Please note the information listed in the article below involving the necessary criteria for acceptance into our school, as well as accreditation of the school, is a representation of our School of Radiography back in 1964. For updated information, please visit our School of Radiography page.
December 3, 1964, marked the first capping exercise for the seven student X-ray Technicians of the Ohio Valley General Hospital, McKees Rocks, PA. Three senior students, Miss Wilma Poluha, Miss Lydia Kosarycz, Miss Suzanne Miller and four juniors, Miss Patricia Jezewski, Miss Cheryl Scully, Miss Beverly Milletary, and Miss Louise Cutenese received their caps, presented by Dr. N.B Tannehill, Chief Radiologist of the X-ray Department.
The exercises took place in the auditorium of the nurses' home. Among the honored guest were: Sister M. Edith, Administrator, Reverend Father A. Jezewski, Dr. and Mrs. N.B Tannehill, Chief Radiologist, Supervisor, who made this day possible and is responsible for formulating the School of X-ray Technology.
Our congratulations to the Students for their high ideals of dedicated service!
Acceptance in the school of X-Ray Technology is open to those between the ages of 18 to 30. The applicant must have completed high school with a high average. Courses in chemistry, physics, biology, algebra and geometry are strongly recommended. One must also be of good character and personality.
The OVGH School of X-Ray Technology is one of the few in the western Pennsylvania hospital complex to be granted permission to make application for license and accreditation by the state. We should receive this accreditation in about a year.

Physical Therapy a Top Choice for Long-Term Pain Relief
At first, it sounds a bit illogical: If your body hurts when you move, then move more — you'll feel better. The issue just might be that you need to learn how to move correctly.
However, that advice is the essence of physical therapy. One of the main services we offer at our rehab center here at OVH, physical therapy (or, PT) is a type of healthcare that aims to minimize your physical impairments by changing your patterns of movement. If you are a physical therapy patient, physical therapists may conduct a thorough exam and follow up with a customized treatment plan that might include manual therapy techniques and exercises that improve your movement patterns.
For many people, physical therapy can seem daunting: Many physical therapy patients may have recently gone through intense, physical trauma or an acute episode of pain, or have a serious medical condition that causes chronic pain – and physical therapy at times requires the patient to push their physical boundaries. However, according to recent research, physical therapy offers lots of gains to minimize pain — and it beats the alternatives.
Physical Therapy: Like Medicine, But Stronger
When your body goes through trauma or becomes disabled in any way, it can be tempting to think, "Well, now I'll need surgery," or "Now I'll be on pain medication for life."
Although medication therapy and surgery are often appropriate options, they rarely address the root problem like physical therapy does. In fact, recent research has revealed that for many, physical therapy is more effective than having surgery or using medication for pain management.
Colleen Hamm, MS, PT, OCS is Ohio Valley's Director of Rehab Services and works with patients suffering from chronic pain on a daily basis. She and her team use a variety of therapies to help patients regain their strength, from pilates to manual therapy to simple sitting and standing exercises. Her department's current focus is to look for patterns of how patients move and function in their everyday activities, making sure that the right muscles are being used. For example, patients suffering from back pain tend to use their back muscles instead of their legs to get out of a chair. Hamm says that encouraging proper biomechanics by improving muscle strength and learning to recruit the right muscles should be the core of any rehabilitation program.
"You can take all the medication in the world, but if the muscles aren't there, you won't even be able to get out of your chair," she says. "Especially if you're recovering from surgery."
Last month, even more evidence supporting the rehabilitative approach was published in the British Medical Journal: Over 5,000 patients suffering from long-term back pain and osteoarthritis were given either acetaminophen (the main ingredient in Tylenol) or a placebo pill. It turned out that the drug was "ineffective" when it came to reducing pain or improving quality of life for people with long-term back pain; for people with osteoarthritis in the hip or knee, the drug had a "minimal short-term benefit."
In fact, the authors of the study (titled,"Physical treatments are the way forward") followed up with another article, in which they recommend that all patients suffering from osteoarthritis be given information about how exercise can serve as an alternative pain treatment option.
The authors wrote: "Changing behavior of doctors and their patients is notoriously difficult, but the findings [of the study] emphasize that the time has come to shift our attention away from tablets as the default option for managing chronic musculoskeletal pain…Non-pharmacological treatments work, are safe, and have benefits that reach beyond the musculoskeletal system."
A Non-Invasive Option
When it comes to back pain, physical therapy can be a surprisingly effective method of treatment. A study from right here in Western PA, conducted at the University of Pittsburgh, revealed that acute rehab can be a great way to address spinal stenosis – a degenerative condition of the spine that typically occurs as people age. Over half the participants in the study who underwent physical therapy were successful and experienced long-term relief.
"We have a fantastic pain management clinic here," adds Hamm, noting that OVH's Pain Treatment Center offers many procedures and treatment options for patients suffering from spinal stenosis and other forms of chronic back pain.
At OVH, we strive not to treat the symptom but to treat the person behind the symptom. And every day, we address health problems at their source. By treating injuries and degenerative conditions with controlled movement and force by changing patterns of movement, we make your long-term health and well-being our priority. The road to recovery might be rough, but at OVH, it's a path worth paving for yourself and your loved ones.
Honoring the Passion Dedication of Our Nurses during National Nurses Week
The nursing profession has changed a lot since Ohio Valley Hospital's School of Nursing opened in 1901. The rise of Intensive Care Units, emergency departments, and other specialties have led to more advanced technical skills for nurses to learn, as well as the development of multiple nursing specialties. Nurses can now pursue master's and doctorate degrees and work more directly with patients.
However, one aspect of the nursing profession has not changed: A commitment to improving lives while honoring and respecting the patient.
Today marks the first day of National Nurses Week — a week-long celebration of the nursing profession and the role nurses play in delivering the highest level of quality care to their patients. Organized by the American Nurses Association (ANA), this year's theme is "Ethical Practice. Quality Care." The ANA will be treating the week as an opportunity to promote and advocate the rights, health and safety of nurses and patients alike. Here at OVH, we're celebrating by honoring the nurses who support our various departments and our School of Nursing.
Fulfilling a Dream
Compared to 100 years ago, the scope of the nursing profession is much larger today. At OVH, this new scope of nursing is everywhere — especially when you talk to Barb Michel , our Interim Director of the School of Nursing.
Michel has worked at OVH for nearly 15 years and has had various roles and responsibilities as a nurse and nurse educator throughout the years — and they all helped her fulfill a childhood dream.
"From the time I was 12 years old, I wanted to be a nurse and help people," she says. "I wanted to work in obstetrics and deliver babies — and to be the head nurse. And I reached those goals."
Prior to her time at OVH, Michel worked as a Labor & Delivery nurse — even delivering her own niece and nephew — and managed different obstetrics departments. Now at OVH, teaching future healthcare professionals through our nursing program has been a key aspect of fulfilling her dream as well.
"In every position I have had in nursing, I loved to teach. That is what I have been doing since coming to OVH. It makes me very proud to see what my graduates have accomplished!"
Other nurses at OVH have found their calling by focusing on a specific type of nursing. Anna Reily, RN, started out as a nurse's aide in OVH's acute rehab unit (ARU) back in 2007. Since then, she's transitioned to being an RN in the ARU. Now a clinical educator for the School of Nursing, Reily credits her family's nursing roots for her passion for patient care.
"I followed in the footsteps of my grandmother and great grandmother by becoming a nurse. I have always been fascinated by the human body and everything it's capable of. I enjoy making a difference in people's lives, talking to people, learning about them and from them," she says.
As a nurse in OVH's ARU, Reily has been fortunate enough to feed another personal passion — connecting with people.
"With respect to acute rehabilitation, I felt it was a good fit for me because the longer length of stay — these patients give me the opportunity to create a bond with them."
"Teaching has always been one of my talents and passions, and I'm fortunate to have been given the opportunity to be the clinical educator as well. Most people, if they are lucky, are able to fulfill one of their dreams. I, on the other hand, was able to fulfill two of them and combine them together — it's an amazing and beautiful thing!"
Our Nurses on Quality and Ethics
OVH's entire staff is committed to personalizing care for each patient. Given that the theme for this year's National Nurses Week is "Ethical Practice. Quality Care," we asked some of our nurses about what this phrase means to them.
Courtney Rice, RN, a graduate of OVH's School of Nursing school and currently a nurse at OVH , says, "It means collaborating with all of the healthcare team members to provide education, excellent care, compassion, confidentiality, and overall advocating for the best interest of our patients."
Riley adds, "It means thinking, making judgments, and carrying out actions with the patient's best interest in mind. Treating all patients as if they were a family member because that is how we would want our family treated and it is the right thing to do."
At OVH, our nurses display a remarkable commitment to quality care and ethics. Through their passion for helping others, dedication, and hard work, they make our hospital what it is today: A center for high-quality, community-based healthcare in Western PA.
Celebrating Diabetes Day at Ohio Valley Hospital
Eight million: That's the number of Americans currently living with undiagnosed diabetes. The number of people who are diagnosed? 21 million. That means if you were to ride a 747 aircraft, there would be around 40 diabetics on your flight. If you looked at the person to your right, there would be a 2 percent chance they were an undiagnosed diabetic.
If you looked at yourself instead, those chances would be the same.
When it comes to preventing any illness, awareness is key. That's why Tuesday, March 24, is known nationwide as the American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Alert Day. It's a one-day "wake-up call" urging Americans to take a Diabetes Risk Test to see if they are at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.
Ohio Valley Hospital is taking part in this Alert Day by hosting our 7th annual Diabetes Day. Please join us! From 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at our Josephine Rozetta Auditorium in the School of Nursing, we'll be hosting 4 hours of diabetes-related events for the community. Throughout Diabetes Alert Day at OVH, you'll see:
- Vendors distributing diabetes supplies and information, such as glucose level log books, drinks formulated for diabetics (trust us, they taste great!), and diabetic shoes;
- A diabetes-friendly cooking demonstration led by OVH's Food Services Director, Jim Dixon – and yes, free samples will be distributed afterward!;
- A series of lectures on issues related to diabetes, featuring OVH staff and other organizations;
- Blood pressure, blood sugar, body fat analysis and bone density screenings; and,
- A $30 Health Check Blood Screen that includes 39 different tests, including A1C.
The hemoglobin A1C test is a laboratory diagnostic service used to determine an individual's average blood sugar levels over the last 2-3 months and their risk of diabetes. Please make sure to fast for 10-12 hours to make your blood screen results as accurate as possible. You do not need to fast for an accurate A1C reading. If you do not fast on that day, we can offer you a coupon for getting the blood screen done with the A1C test at one of our labs during normal office hours!
We'll also be holding a raffle with prizes throughout the day!
And of course, OVH staff will be available to discuss all the great services for diabetics available at the hospital, including representatives from Pathways at The Willows, The Willow Brook Geropsychiatric Unit, and the Wound Care Center.
OVH's Outpatient Dietitian and Diabetes Educator, Susan Zikos, RD, LDN, CDE, who has been our champion for our Diabetes Day this year, sees the event as a great opportunity for the community's diabetics and non-diabetics alike to get real information about what it's like to live with the disease. Specifically, she notes that treating diabetes now is much different than it was in decades past. Today, there's a wide array of new products and therapies that the general public might not be familiar with.
"Especially with the older population, many see it as a death sentence," she says. "It can be stressful for them to be diagnosed as diabetics themselves. But today, diabetics tend to be diagnosed much earlier than they were before, and can make changes to lessen the progression of diabetes."
In 2015, living a healthy, comfortable lifestyle as a diabetic is much more attainable than it used to be. Zikos notes that one of the main goals of the event is to encourage lifestyle choices that promote good diabetic health: "We really just want to get people out there, exercising within their abilities, taking their medicines as directed, and eating properly."
At OVH, Zikos offers outpatient nutrition and weight loss counseling to patients with diabetes and other conditions. She also runs a series of classes aimed at helping new diabetics understand their condition and a diabetes support group that meets throughout the year. Check out the full schedule of classes in her brochure.

OVH s th Annual K A Community Event For the Hill of It
Nothing brings a community together like a common challenge. This May, we'll see yet again how hard Western Pennsylvania residents can push themselves at the 34th Annual Ohio Valley Hospital/Kennedy Township 5K. What began as an annual 10K, organized by Kennedy Township back in 1981 as part of the Township's Fourth of July celebration, turned into a race half as long (a 5K!).
But what was lost in kilometers has been more than made up for in other ways. The rising popularity of the race in the 80's led Kennedy Township to join forces with Ohio Valley Hospital, according to the hospital's President and CEO, David Scott.
"As the event grew too big and too complicated, the Township was looking for a partner to help them with its organization. That's how we became involved."
Last year, 165 people registered for the Ohio Valley Hospital/Kennedy Township 5K, which now bears the tagline "For the Hill of it." And if you get a glimpse of the 5K's challenging course, it's easy to see why. Runners start out downhill, in front of the hospital, and then continue uphill to McKees Rocks Road. They proceed to venture out on Pine Hollow Road before heading back up to the hospital. The finish is no walk in the park — the final ascent back to OVH is regarded as the hardest hill of the race.
The difficulty of the course, according to OVH's Director of Marketing and Communications, and Race Director Megan Eaton, is one way the event brings the Kennedy Township, McKees Rocks, and Coraopolis communities together. "Because of the course's longevity and level of difficulty, we get 'true' runners who routinely compete in other tough courses across Western PA."
In addition, hospital staff, their friends, and family are also frequent participants in the 5K. OVH's Physical Therapy department has a group that runs the race every year. Dr. Gary Sauer, a Family Practice physician and member of the OVH Board of Directors, is a perennial participant in the race.
"Supporting the hospital is a good cause," says Dr. Sauer. "The course is challenging, usually good weather, and a good turnout. Nice Race!"
Several other employees, including CEO David Scott, also participate; with many bringing along their friends and families. Kennedy Township volunteers help out with registration, and on the course.
But OVH's annual 5K is clearly about more than just the race. The event is preceded by the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. A D.J. keeps the mood light while playing the runners onto the course. And throughout the 5k, you get a sense of the large outpouring of support from the community.
"We've got nursing students, staff and volunteers ringing cowbells and cheering them on up and down the course," says Eaton. "We have people taking pictures everywhere, which is a fun memento."
The race also attracts a large field of walkers; community members who take to the race course in solidarity with their neighbors, and for the health benefit the 5k provides. After the race, there is always an after party, which features a ton of food and of course, a reprise from the D.J.
And all along the way, Kennedy Township's Police, Fire, and EMS departments are there to make sure everything goes smoothly, including Police Chief Anthony Bruni, who always drives the pace car. Eaton adds, "The great thing about our race is that it truly is a community event."

Seeing the World Through Radiologic Technology at OVH
On November 8, 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered the x-ray. Nearly 110 years later, the technology lives on. And while modern radiology barely resembles how Roentgen used this "new kind of ray," healthcare professionals nationwide have turned the anniversary of his innovation into a week celebrating the vital work of Radiologic Technologists.
Barbara J. O'Connor, M.S.,R.T., the Director of OVH's School of Radiography, has seen first-hand how far radiography has come. She first came to OVH's radiography department in 1973, back when x-rays would have to be processed manually in the hospital's darkrooms. Today, she's in charge of the hospital's radiology training program, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary.
According to O'Connor, recent advances in radiologic technology have significantly simplified the logistics behind this complex, versatile medical service. For example, the advents of Computed Radiography (CD) and Digital Radiography (DR) have eliminated some of the most time-consuming steps in the process.
"Both of those technologies have basically deleted x-ray film from our reality," she added.
Previously, Radiologic Technologists (RTs) would have to put x-ray film on a cassette, develop it in a darkroom, then collect, batch, and transfer them to a radiologist. Now, RTs work with digitized images within a system that can easily archive and transfer them to radiologists and referring physicians. This allows them to be read electronically, from anywhere. "It's really changed a lot of what we do here at Ohio Valley," says O'Connor. "It's really increased the protection to the patient—these steps no longer have to be repeated."
Although the field of radiology is sometimes synonymous with "x-rays," this vital service has considerably broadened over the past few decades. Following their education at OVH, trained RTs (also known as radiographers) are able to work in the field of diagnostic radiology.
RTs can also pursue further certification to work in advanced radiology, mammography, bone density, computed tomography (CT), MRI, interventional radiology, cardio interventional radiology, ultrasound, and even nuclear medicine—all of these community radiology services are available now, at OVH.
The slogan for this year's National Radiologic Technology Week is "Many Views with One Vision." And to O'Connor, the phrase reflects the direction radiologic technology is going in.
"We have so many ways of looking at things now that didn't exist before," says O'Connor. "For example, if we do a shoulder x-ray, we might then do an arthrogram. Then an MRI. All to figure out the damage that's been done. There are many more ways to view things in order to get the ultimate image needed to diagnose the patient."
However, she notes not every aspect of radiology has transformed: "The beauty to my job is that the human body hasn't changed."
OVH Visitors Get a Passport to Healthcare Quality
Ohio Valley Hospital wrapped up the month of October with its inaugural celebration of
National Healthcare Quality Week.
Featuring daily special events focused around our commitment to healthcare quality and patient safety, the week was a tremendous success! We'd like to thank the Western PA community, our staff, and all of our guest speakers for making it happen.
Up first on Monday was a well-attended lecture on Active Shooters by Robert Winters, Protective Security Advisor from the Department of Homeland Security. That night, OVH's auditorium was the location for a discussion on community health improvement by Allegheny County Health Department's Advisory Coalition. Event attendees said it was a great opportunity for community members to discuss potential solutions to area problems. Willow Brook Geropsychiatric Unit's Community Relations Coordinator Lisa Dalena, RN added, "People really seemed to value being here and learned a lot. There are a lot of social issues in our area that we're trying to address and we're glad to have this opportunity."
Angel Thompson, OVH's Director of Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement, organized all of the week's events. She emphasized at Wednesday's Festivities Day that one of the major goals was to engage the local community with easy-to-understand, accessible information: "Quality week has been going well. Yesterday, I gave my 'M&M presentation,' explaining how M&M (candy pieces) relate to healthcare data and other outliers."
Festivities Day also included a gift basket raffle and poster presentations from various clinical departments at OVH. The theme of the poster presentation was "Your Passport to Healthcare Quality": Guests were given a "passport" to fill with stickers as they made their way around to different clinical presentations, which were decorated to incorporate different countries. The Willow Brook Geriatric Unit's country was Germany, and of course, its color scheme reflected that:
While the information presented on the posters was certainly complex, the clinical departments made a concentrated effort to simplify it for the general public. Said Jessica Janicki, RN, of the Geriatric Psych Unit: "We wanted people who come in from the community to truly understand it."
Other poster topics included our new DaVinci Robotic Surgery program:
The importance of radiation safety in the hospital:
And combating the C. diff bacterial infection:
Once again, we'd like to once again thank everyone involved in making Quality Week possible! We hope to see you again next year!

Exclusive: Bre Scullark talks about 'America's Next Top Model'
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 10/21/2011
Bre Scullark
became the fifth girl eliminated from
America's Next Top Model
's all-stars edition's sixth episode during Wednesday night's broadcast on The CW.
On Thursday, the 26-year-old who previously appeared on Top Model's fifth season, talked to Reality TV World about her
America's Next Top Model
experience -- including whether she was shocked about her elimination, what she felt the judges were looking for when they told her she wasn't the same person who competed on the show's fifth season, whether she found her ouster strange since she had never been in the bottom two while a few fellow all-stars had been numerous times, and why she was surprised that model Coco Rocha found her modeling performance at the bar-fight photo shoot distracting.
Below is the first portion of our exclusive interview with Bre. Check back with Reality TV World on Monday for the second half.
Reality TV World: Top Model 17
More Top Model 17 News
Reality TV World: Were you shocked to be eliminated or did you somewhat see it coming beforehand?
Bre Scullark
I kind of knew that I was going to be eliminated yesterday and so it wasn't really a shock to me, you know?
Reality TV World: Why was that?
Bre Scullark
I listened very carefully to what the judges have been saying for the past couple of weeks and so, I knew that there was a point where they were probably going to eliminate me. They just felt like I wasn't the same person that I was since my cycle -- Cycle 5.
Reality TV World: You are clearly older and more mature now, but what do you think was missing for the judges that you showed them your first time around on the show? What do you think they were looking for and why do you think you didn't or couldn't really deliver it?
Bre Scullark
I don't think you ever really know 100% percent about how to make someone else happy. You gotta make yourself happy first, and I think that what they were looking for was just that young girl that was 19 again and I just couldn't give them 19 anymore. It's kind of impossible. (Laughs)
Reality TV World: This week happened to be the first time you had ever been in the bottom two during this all-stars competition, so I know you said you saw your elimination coming a little bit, but did you find it strange that you were eliminated especially since Alexandria Everett,
Lisa D'Amato
and Angelea Preston had been in the bottom two a couple if not several times? Did you think that was unfair and that you should have gotten another shot?
Bre Scullark
I think anybody would have loved to stay around, but I think I accepted that it was just my time to go. I didn't really read into how many times I had been in the bottom two or you know, thinking it was unfair. I just learned to accept that it is what it is and just appreciate the opportunity and keep moving.
Reality TV World: You had tied with Lisa for the win at the Kardashians' runway challenge and you also got the acting role on
by winning the challenge the week prior -- congratulations on that by the way! You clearly had been doing very well in the competition at the challenges that weren't photo shoots. So would you say looking back that the challenges where your photos don't end up getting critiqued aren't that significant after all when it comes to what they're looking for in the winner of the competition?
Bre Scullark
I think that it's a lot of different things. It isn't just one thing. It isn't just pictures. It isn't just challenges. I think the judges want to make sure that you can deliver across the board and they didn't feel that I could do that.
Reality TV World: Could you talk at all about your upcoming role on
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
and where and when that will take place?
Bre Scullark
I can't really talk too much in detail about it as of yet, but as soon as I have a date for everybody as to when it's going to air, I'm definitely going to blast it. So, I will let you know soon.
Reality TV World: For most of the past episodes, you have been called out in the middle of the pack when Tyra hands out the best photo to the worst of the week. Do you think just remaining in the middle of the pack is what got you eliminated, maybe in that you weren't the best at the end of the week but you also weren't at the bottom where you could show the judges how you could drastically improve? It seems like Angelea has been called out for doing really well in challenges just because she's been portrayed as kind of the underdog.
Bre Scullark
You know, I never looked at it that way. I think that's a great question but I don't really have a response to it. It's just another thing to think about.
Reality TV World: When you got eliminated, the other girls seemed very surprised and you could clearly see that on their faces. What was your reaction when you noticed that and were aware that the girls seemed to view you as a frontrunner?
Bre Scullark
I just -- when I saw that the girls were shocked, I just wanted to make sure that they knew that I was okay and I didn't want to make any sudden moves. I just wanted to make sure that they knew that it's a competition and anything can happen and I loved all of them, really, honestly. I just wish all of them the best -- every single last one of them. They're special. They really, really are.
Reality TV World: You went into the bar fight photo shoot with Coco very confidently and you seemed to be just as confident when the shoot was over about your performance and how you and Alexandria went above and beyond. Was it a shock to you when you realized you were in the bottom two and that your picture wasn't well received by the judges since you had been so excited about how the shoot went?
Bre Scullark
I think I just accepted it for what they are. I have to be confident in my work because if I'm not going to be confident in my work then who is? More importantly, for me, I just felt like sometimes it happens. Realistically, everybody doesn't get a great shot every time. So, yesterday just wasn't my time and I didn't take a great shot and I deserved to go home because of that.
Reality TV World: When you watched last night's episode from home, the editing made it seem like you kept screaming and doing the same pose repeatedly in the bar photo shoot. Would you say the editing was accurate or do you think they concentrated on one aspect of your photo shoot and almost tried to poke a little fun at you?
Bre Scullark
I think it's a show and it was entertaining to watch. For me, it was like nails going across a chalkboard, but I don't know if they tried to make fun of me or they just wanted to mess with the edit. I don't even really look at those things anymore. I just saw that they pulled out what went wrong in my photo shoot and that was my reason that it didn't go well and that's subequently why I went home.
Reality TV World: Watching the show back, would you agree with the judges that your performance at the bar photo shoot was a little bit too much and too dramatic, or would you argue and say you felt you brought just the right amount to get a good photo in the end?
Bre Scullark
I think that I committed and listen, just like everything else, it's a gamble. You commit; You go 100% percent. Sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it does. Yesterday, it didn't work, but I'm always going to commit. I didn't get where I am right now because I half-assed anything. (Laughs)
Reality TV World: What was your reaction when you heard Coco's reaction of your performance in the photo shoot? She seemed a little distracted and taken aback by your screaming and such. Did that surprise you or did you get a sense that's how she was feeling while you were posing with her?
Bre Scullark
No, you know what? I never even thought about it. I thought that we were all professionals and distractions don't happen that much because we're focused on what we're doing. So, it was unfortunate that she was distracted because I wasn't.

I have decided to come forward and tell the truth. I was Tiger's first affair after his marriage. As others have said, he was quite the tiger in the boudoir, and I knew that I was never going to be able to satisfy him fully. So one night, as we lay awake having "pillow talk," I suggested he not limit himself to just his wife and me, and that he should sow all those oats. Not surprisingly, he went ahead with the idea, and we soon stopped seeing each other.
I feel terrible, because I (usually) make it a policy not to get involved with married men. Unless they're quite good looking - and Tiger is.
I wanted to set the record straight. Thank you,

Veronica is most certainly a MILF extraordinaire and deserves all the accolades befitting her stature. She is one steaming kettle of pure lust and she absolutely hit the mark with the 40's/50's hot housewife look. All that being said, I am surprised she did not wet the entire set with her usual "fluid" excitement and shower us with her out-pour of orgasmic pleasures. Veronica can usually hold her own against all the best squirters in the biz, but she didn't deliver anywhere near enough of the unhindered juice in this shoot. Regardless, Veronica still inspired a level of horny energy that made it very difficult to sit still.

Hello guys and dolls!!! I must admit, I had a total blast on this one but was honestly not feeling my best that day, that's why I didn't squirt as much, I'm just as human as the next person and sometimes my body isn't ready for hard dildos, most of the time it is, but sometimes I'm sore from all the sex I have and machines aren't the same as real cocks. I never fake it and if I'm not squirting everywhere it doesn't mean I'm not cumming- my pussy pulses and when it pushes out, that's when I'm cumming, whether you see fluid or not- just a heads up... I get fucked so often (YAYYY!) that some days I'm just sore- makes sense doesnt if? Lol!!! Hope you guys enjoy though- hope they have me back for a total squirt fest soon!!! And some anal too! Had an anal scene for S&SUBMISSION the next day so I just couldn't pull it off 2 days in a row, the anal diet pretty much consists of air and water lol so I have to conserve my energy and not wear myself out... I'd love to do the double pen dildos next time as I LOVE my slutty holes being filled and pounded!!! Hee Hee!!! Love y'all! Xoxo Naughty Slut Veronica

Great to see you here. I was following your "adventures" on another site. Hope they'll treat you well. I'm a little sad you "changed", you were stunning. Not that you lost anything in the sex-appeal area. Greatest M.I.L.F. ever.

I'm sorry, but Great doesn't come close, you need a new category of excellence! Veronica should give tutorials in what this is all about. Each scene left me wanting more, and she gave it in the next one. A truly beautiful woman no matter where your gaze landed, from those succulent, ruby red lips to her luscious breasts, to her perfect ass and more than perfect legs, I could watch her all night. Veronica, where have you been hiding? Please make yourself more available! I'm in love.

I just want to send out some huge and appreciative thanks to Veronica for taking the time to respond to the endless fans on this most electrifying and entertaining site. Yes Veronica, I, for one, surely believe you had some intense orgasms in this shoot; I dated an insatiable squiter many years ago and she made the energizer bunny look like a comatose and catatonic sloth with a garden hose. That pulsing and powerful pushing down below was like an impending earthquake and oil derrick about to blow. That's how I could always tell the dam was ready to burst. Focused and consistent rhythm was always crucial at that point. I will never presume to know how that feels to a woman, but for me, its the absolute pinnacle of sexual power and energy and experiencing that I had a hand (or mouth) in building it up is more satisfying than any orgasm I could ever hope to achieve for myself. It was the perfect storm of raw and incendiary sexual interaction as I live to give and she was literally addicted to receiving. A generous & robust squirt is infinitely better than the jackpot that pays-off for diligently dedicating the time and capital to feeding the slot machine. So I have the highest respect and praise for the truest and most passionate squirters of the fairer sex. I know it can sometimes be difficult and draining (no pun intended), but relinquishing every essence of control and giving all of yourself to the pleasure can often be enough to mutually satiate. Watching you work and revel in pleasure is living artistry in action. Please come back again (and again). I wish that there was such innovative, expansive and forward thinkers stimulating us when I was working in the industry. Kink is constantly evolving and exploring new ways to rock our divergent and more salacious sides. Keep it up and you will soon have the monopoly on this level captivating sin.

This is my first comment ever. This type of shoot is what I would dream you would have been doing all the time. Hot as hell. Innocent fetish combined with clothes-on combined with hard fucking. I don't understand guys who like girls naked. Everything becomes way more sexual with clothes on, other than of course you have to see pussy tits and face. And best clothes = girly innocent colorful style.

You won't find many bands on the Bonnaroo 2014 lineup who have risen as far as fast as St. Paul and the Broken Bones. Formed in 2012, the band has seen immense success in the past year, with features on NPR, CBS Sunday Morning, and numerous magazines. Their debut album, "Half the City" reached #3 on the Itunes Top Albums Charts. Now they're topping it off with what vocalist Paul Janeway calls "one of our major goals as a band", a performance at Bonnaroo 2014. We caught up with Paul Janeway by phone today to discuss the band's Bonnaroo performance, the Alabama music scene, and their short but spectacular career as a group.
You guys are getting ready to play Bonnaroo in just a couple of days now, Friday at 12:30 p.m. What's going through your mind?
I'm nervous! I'm not going to lie to you. I'm a little nervous. It's one of the goals. When we first started this, our manager asked what some of our goals were and one of my goals was playing Bonnaroo. And now we're about to do it. So a little nervous but mostly excited. I just want to put on a hell of a show for everyone.
You guys have only been together a couple of years, right?
It'll be two years in July.
So already playing Bonnaroo is a pretty big accomplishment!
-laugh- We're pretty spoiled. There's no doubt about that.
You guys have gotten a reputation for a pretty dynamic live show. For folks who may not know you, what can they expect at your Bonnaroo performance?
You're going to see some pretty great musicians play their instruments, trying to get into the groove. You'll see me dancing around, getting on my knees crying. It's an emotional roller coaster. There are songs where you'll dance and there are songs where you might shed a tear. That's kind of how we like to do it. I know for me and for the rest of the guys we put all of our heart and soul into these shows. Whether we're playing to 5 people or 5000 people, we try to give everyone the best time we possibly can.
As a fellow Southerner, what I'm hearing sounds a lot like a secular tent revival.
Yeah... Yeah! I would definitely say that it gets a little churchy, a little tent revival. Which I like. I like that aspect of it. We've played a lot of tents, we're playing one at Bonnaroo. We always try to make it feel like that, with a little tent revival feeling to it.
Your new album was partially recorded at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, right? That must have been pretty special walking in there.
We recorded the album at Nutthouse in Sheffield but then we mixed it at Fame. Stepping in that place was a magic feeling. They haven't changed much about it since the '70s. All these people that I look up to, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, guys like that stood in that room. All those guys that I respect.
It seems like in the past couple of years with the recent documentary and guys like Jason Isbell and John Paul White coming out of there, there's been a renewed appreciation of the music that is coming out of that region.
Yeah. I think so. I think people are kind of gravitating back toward that area. We recorded the album with Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes, he's from there. John Paul White, Jason Isbell, The Truckers, so many guys from there. The great thing is you can't act like a big deal there. You've got people like David Hood and Spooner Oldham who recorded on all those classic tracks and it's kind of like "what are you gonna do to compare with that?" You have to stay focused on the music.
What do you think it is about that Central Alabama area that has cultivated such a strong music scene?
There's nothing else to do! -laugh- Really. I don't think there's anything else to do! Honestly, it's a very communal place. Everyone is very supportive. A lot of cities are really competitive but there it's just about making good music. And as I always say, there's something in the water! But it's a lot about being able to kind of get away too. Nobody's going to bother you there.
Are you guys going to be able to stick around for any of the weekend to check out the shows?
It's funny. I'm going to stick around on Friday, but we play in Alexander City, AL on Saturday night. I'm thrilled to be playing in our home state but, man, would I have loved to be able to stick around and check out Elton John and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. But I'm going to be there Friday so I can check out Kanye and Janelle Monae and some of that stuff. It's all part of the gig.
What do you guys have going on the rest of the year after you finish up with Bonnaroo?
We're going to go back to Europe, do Paris and London and Belgium and Germany and places like that. And then we're finally going to get to play Birmingham in the Fall. I'm excited about that. We've kind of stayed out of Birmingham recently so I'm glad to be back. Then we're going to start writing.
You've got a show at The Ryman with Jason Isbell in October as well.
Yeah. That was another goal. One was playing Bonnaroo and another was playing The Ryman. I'm so excited for that and we're appreciative of Jason for having us along.
Sounds like you guys need some new goals!
-laugh- Well, we've got a bunch of damn nerds in this band so they decided our next goal was to play on the moon. That one might be a little harder to do! Honestly and truly, we're very blessed, very lucky. If it stopped now I could look at it and it would be something I could tell my grandkids about. I'm just thrilled.
You guys might get a little preview of The Ryman in September since you're nominated for an Americana Music Award for Best Emerging Artist.
I think we're going to get to perform at that. It's kind of funny, we're looking forward to Jason's show getting us to the Ryman and then we get the nomination for the award and there you go. It's a great honor. I didn't even know what we did was called Americana. -laugh- But I'll take it!
St. Paul and The Broken Bones will play Bonnaroo 2014 on June 13 at 12:30 p.m. in The Other Tent. Bonnaroo 2014 will be held June 12-15 in Manchester, Tn. In addition to St. Paul and The Broken Bones, performers include Jack White, Lionel Richie, and Ice Cube.

"Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans seems to be very happy with her boyfriend, Nathan Griffith. Over the past couple of years, fans have seen her go through some crazy relationships, including her drug issues with Kieffer Delp, her violent relationship with Gary Head and her surprise short-lived marriage to Courtland Rogers. Despite her troubles, she seems very trusting. According to a new Radar Online report published on June 23, "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans is now revealing that she is very trusting of her boyfriend, Nathan.
Many people have questioned Nathan's decision to date Jenelle, as she was already famous from the show when they met. They met on the internet and bonded over their love for their dogs and their roles as parents. And yet, he was eager to start dating her, despite her being a popular MTV star. But even though they are expecting their first child together, he is out with other girls, including a recent trip to Hoosters.
Apparently, Nathan was spotted enjoying the wings at a South Carolina Hooters. No word on whether he was with friends, but it sounds like Jenelle knew about his decision to visit the restaurant. But she wasn't exactly rattled by his decision to visit the eatery. "If I were in a normal relationship & … Preggo, I'd be annoyed if my BF went 2 Hooters," one person wrote to Jenelle. "It's Hooter's.. Not a strip club," she told one fan. "It's called trusting yr man baby girl. U have a lot to learn."
Of course, Jenelle doesn't mind that Nathan goes out, as long as he doesn't cheat. There have been rumors that he has been stepping out on Jenelle before she gives birth, but it sounds like she doesn't mind that he is out dining at this restaurant. Instead, she is focusing on their happy relationship and their son, who will be making his debut sooner rather than later. Her due date is this weekend, but she has yet to meet her son.
What do you think of Jenelle's trust in her boyfriend?

The Lady Bulldogs suffered a few early bogeys as showers passed over the course but quickly settled in for the round. The damp conditions provided opportunities for MSU to attack the traditionally hard greens and sink a few birdie chances.
MSU's 292 is the lowest postseason round in program history and tied them for seventh in the 24-team field with No. 15 Arizona State, Wisconsin and Indiana. State's best postseason finish came with a 12th-place card (905, +53) in the 2002 NCAA East Regional.
"This is a great spot to be," third-year MSU coach Ginger Brown-Lemm said. "We read an article that listed all the teams that were here: who was expected to move through, who was expected to win and who was just glad to be here. Well we were listed in the unfortunate category of those that were just glad to be here. So obviously we used that as inspiration for today's play and we were able to rise to the occasion.
With her seventh-career 3-under-par 69, No. 29 McDonald is only two shots back of tourney leader No. 49 Emily Collins (Oklahoma). The Fulton native posted four birdies on the day including a pair back-to-back on holes 16 and 17. Her only bogey came as she knocked a downhill putt for birdie too far past the hole on No. 9.
Warren fired a career-best 71 and earned a share of 13th through 18 holes. After stumbling with a pair of bogeys on the first two holes, the Austin native regrouped to card three birdies over her next six holes. After bogeying No. 10, she guided her tee shot to within a yard of the flagstick on the par-3 12th hole.
Mary Langdon Gallagher, Rica Tse and Gabi Oubre' all rounded out the MSU leaderboard with a trio of 76's.
SEC-foe and ninth-ranked Florida is the current leader after firing a 282 Thursday morning. No. 4 Oklahoma (283) and No. 3 Duke (284) round out the Top 3.
Second-round action is set to begin at 7:30 a.m. CT Friday, with the Lady Bulldogs slated to tee off on hole No. 10 at 8:25 a.m.
The top eight teams from each regional will advance to the NCAA Championships at the UGA Golf Course in Athens, Ga. The top two players on a non-advancing team will also qualify for the finals as individuals.
Live stats and post round results will be available through HailState.com. Fans can also follow the women's golf program on Twitter, @mstateWG, and on Facebook at facebook.com/mstateWG.

Perched on the crest of Napa's famous Spring Mountain, Schweiger's vineyards are some of the highest in Napa. Owner Fred Schweiger's parents purchased the estate in 1960, and the first commercial harvest was in 1984. Like many winegrowing families in Napa, the Schweigers started out selling their grapes to others (Cafaro, ZD, Newton and Stags Leap to name a few) but in 1994 the family decided to start making their own wine from the classic Cabernet, Merlot and Chardonnay vines that flourished in this hilltop winery.
This wine was puzzling to me to drink because I found it highly oak-driven and traditional, yet the winemaking would not have led me to believe it was so. Only 20% of the wine went through malolactic fermentation, and while it was barrel fermented in French oak, only 30% of it was new. It was left in contact with its lees (pulp, seeds, skins, and other detritus of the crushing process) which can mellow the tannic impacts of the oak.
All of these things would have led me to believe that this was more a Burgundian style of Chardonnay than Napa, and even the Schweiger family said this was their intent, yet I found the wine to be fairly mainstream California.
Tasting Notes:
The color of light straw, this wine has a very apple-ly and mineral nose for a Chardonnay, with strong green apple, honey, and lemon zest aromas. In the mouth, though, it is fairly traditional California Chardonnay, leading with heavy flavors of sweet American oak, butterscotch, cream, and burn toast surrounding a core of light fruit. The finish is nice and long with mineral components, but with more buttered toast flavor. A good example of the type of Chardonnay that some love to hate, but highly drinkable if you don't belong to that camp.
Food Pairing:
I might serve this with a heartier, rich poultry dish, like this chicken with mustard and tarragon cream sauce.
Overall Score: 8.5
How Much?: $27
This wine is currently sold out, and can only be found in restaurants or the odd retailer who still has some in stock.
