Where the Money Goes
Where the Money Goes
Do you ever wonder whether your gifts make a difference in the lives of patients at Robinson Memorial Hospital? The simple answer is yes! The Robinson Memorial Hospital Foundation provides financial support for thousands of individuals each year receiving care for many different health concerns. The needs are continuing to increase based on the economic difficulties experienced by many people in our community.
We all want to make a difference ... to change the world, our world. When you give to the Robinson Memorial Hospital Foundation, your donation directly impacts hundreds of people.
Robinson Visiting Nurse and Hospice
While most care is generally reimbursed through Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance, a great deal of care is provided above and beyond reimbursement. In addition there are a growing number of patients not covered by any insurance. The Foundation provides more than $150,000 annually to help cover the highest quality, compassionate care to individuals and their families. Contributions help pay for specialized medical equipment, medications, therapies and bereavement services that are not covered but are provided by our home care and hospice team.
Thousands of women in the county go without potentially life-saving mammograms, many due to cost concerns. Nearly 2,000 women have received mammograms due to the generosity of donors to the Maxine Lyman Mammography Fund.
Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation
The Robinson Memorial Hospital Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Program has assisted thousands of people annually with cardiac (heart) and pulmonary (lung) rehabilitation. Many insurance companies do not cover the ongoing exercise and education maintenance programs for patients. The Robinson Memorial Hospital Foundation helps these patients in need.
Nursing Education
A variety of funds have been established to assist nurses and other health care professionals expand their expertise and education. The Foundation annually provides nearly $50,000 for scholarships to support our employees' provision of excellent care to patients.
Minorities in Healthcare
Robinson Memorial Hospital works to raise awareness and provide opportunities to the minority community interested in healthcare.
The Gertrude M. Petsche Healing Garden
Patients and their families, volunteers and employees of Robinson Memorial Hospital can experience respite and rest in the healing garden on the Robinson Memorial Hospital campus.
Art Reflections
At Robinson Memorial Hospital The Rotating Art Gallery was established in October of 1999 in the main lobby of Robinson Memorial Hospital. Framed original artwork of local artists is previewed by a committee and displayed for a three-month period. Art is reviewed for appropriate content for a healthcare setting and quality of display. Artists may make their art available for sale, or simply for display. Interested customers are given a contact number for the artist, and deal directly with the artist. Robinson Memorial Hospital receives no commission on the sale.

NEWPORT TWP. - From prayers and well wishes in the wake of the explosion that cost him both legs and an arm to the huge turnout for a fundraising concert to help build his new home, the support of his community means a lot to U.S. Army Spc. Kyle Hockenberry.
"I'm really amazed every time. It hasn't died down," he said.
Hockenberry - wounded in Afghanistan in June 2010 and continuing his rehabilitation in San Antonio - was back in Washington County Friday to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the smart home being built by the combined efforts of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers and Gary Sinise foundations. The approximately $375,000 project is now fully funded, thanks to donations kicked off with an August concert by Academy Award-winning actor Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band at Marietta College.

EVAN BEVINS The Marietta Times
U.S. Army Spc. Kyle Hockenberry, left, signs a painting purchased by Marietta residents Jenni, center, and Jonathan Hupp, right, at the fundraising concert held in August for Hockenberry's customized smart home, after the groundbreaking ceremony for the project Friday in Newport Township.
"I really appreciate what you all have done to help with this house," Hockenberry said to the approximately 100 people gathered Friday at the site of his new home, expected to be completed in six to eight months.
The land on Bells Run Road has been in Hockenberry's family for about 100 years. His home will be built on the footprint of his great-great-grandmother's house, a well-worn, two-story wood structure that was demolished as part of Friday's ceremony.
But it didn't go without a fight.
Fact Box
They said it:
"In this valley, this area ... they just rally around people. I'm just proud to be part of it." - Chet Hockenberry, Kyle's father
"I look forward to visiting you someday when you are living in this beautiful new home." - letter from Gary Sinise, actor, founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation
"Kyle, you're out here in the county, but the Marietta city is always with you, buddy." - Marietta Mayor Joe Matthews
"What we are witnessing today is just a small token of appreciation from a grateful nation." - letter from Congressman Bill Johnson, R-Ohio
Hockenberry and members of his family chuckled as the house lasted several minutes longer than most of the onlookers expected under an assault from an excavator. It wasn't until after Hockenberry and several others symbolically dug in a pile of dirt that the building finally came down.
At one point, Hockenberry suggested dynamite might have been a better approach.
There was a bittersweet quality to watching a house that held so many memories come crashing down, family members said, but they added they were looking forward to making new ones.
"I kind of feel like it's been setting here, destined for this purpose, to go forward and stay in the family for another hundred years," Hockenberry's aunt, Bonnie Hockenberry, said, noting it hadn't been occupied since 1975.
"We're looking forward to Christmases and Thanksgivings at Kyle's house," she said.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation was founded by the family of New York City Firefighter Stephen Siller, who was coming home from work on Sept. 11, 2001, when he learned of the planes that had crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. He headed for the scene, and when he could drive no farther, he strapped 65 pounds of gear onto his back and ran the two miles from the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the towers, where he died helping others.
The foundation has teamed with Sinise's organization to build customized homes for quadruple and triple amputees wounded in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
No two of the homes are alike, said John Koch, manager for specially adaptive housing for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
"Each house we build is built to the needs of the individual," he said.
Almost everything in the home will be operated by an iPad, from window treatments to shower temperature. Features in other homes the groups have built included wheelchair-level counters and cabinets with compartments that drop lower so the soldier can better access them.
"Not only does it give the service member freedom, but it gives their caregiver - in this case his wife, Ashley - freedom as well," said John Hodge, director of operations for Tunnel to Towers.
Hockenberry has been involved with the designing of the home from the start. The artist's rendering provided by locally based Mondo Building and Excavating includes the log-cabin exterior and lower-level access he requested, along with a wraparound porch so he can "sit out on my porch and enjoy the land, the peace and quiet," Hockenberry said.
Mondo has been involved with other aspects of the project, including site preparation. Company owner Mark Mondo knocked down the existing structure himself Friday and also flew Hockenberry to the ceremony in his helicopter.
"When I realized we had a local soldier who'd made such a huge sacrifice, I just wanted to help him and his family," Mondo said after the ceremony.
Koch said Mondo will be involved with the project going forward as will other local companies and workers.
"We bring in local people so it's a community project," Koch said.
Tunnel to Towers officials praised other local contributions Friday, including efforts by Marietta Mayor Joe Matthews and Safety-Service Director Jonathan Hupp and others to make the August concert a success. Hodge confessed he wasn't sure the numbers would work out and the turnout would not be big enough.
"He said we couldn't do it," Matthews said. "I said, 'Marietta, Washington County, the Ohio Valley, we can do anything.'"
The concert drew about 3,000 people and raised approximately $200,000 for the cause.
Also on hand for the ceremony were David Haas, with the Marietta Morning Rotary Club, which, in conjunction with the Noon Rotary contributed $42,000 to the project, and Rich Galen, a political columnist and former Marietta College student who raised $32,000 from readers of his website Mullings.com. Galen also delivered Hockenberry a thank-you from one of the donors - former Pennsylvania Governor and Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge.
Offering Hockenberry thanks and well wishes even though they couldn't be there in person were Congressman Bill Johnson, R-Ohio and a Marietta resident, and Sinise, who both sent letters.

Chuck D's letter about MTVs choice to not play PE's new...
he's right though...
In an editorial featured in DaveyD.Com's FNV news letter, Chuck D had this to say :
This is serious. In a climate where they're playing the hell out of Nelly and Khia dumbing American kids (17 and under... like who else is gonna be fanatical about adult life requesting videos?) down to 'its so hot imma take my clothes off' down from 'my neck to the crack of my ass' with a 'shot of courvosier' .No offense to the prior two artists, because I really don't think they know any better. I'm pulling the race card here because MTV has admittingly reduced black faces to blackface... Quantity is the measurement needed for the almighty bottom line ala the corporate dollar. Blackface at its dumbest makes a lotta money for VIACOM. On also owned BET peeps know BRUCE BRUCE more than newsman ED GORDON, reducing us as black folk to comedy where we think Americas laughing along with us in reality they're laughing at us. It's the same reason I left Def Jam...we start off rebelling against the one sided control ways of the establishment, only to find that it eventually becomes a worse establishment itself. A joke in the shadows of making money 'holla!
Really it ain't about playing the Public Enemy video. So be it. I do art and songs to provoke and not be a joke. It would've been simple as hell for them to rather say they didn't like the video. But as a black M-A-N it's the NERVE of them judging what's acceptable coming out of a blackface. If they think having a political viewpoint in music is irrelevant, it's because they've taken the nazi approach in censoring it themselves. Deep down... rap to these standard people is disposable romper room sh*t that will never resonate to the LED ZEPs, BEATLES, NIRVANAS, AEROSMITHs, FLEETWOOD MACS,BON JOVI status they still uphold in their hearts and minds. But based on the ridiculous yet influential decisions they make while in bed with their big business partners (major labels) is unacceptable as far as my community is concerned. Judging that anonymous circle of people in the standard department I feel, think and ultimately know they would rather reduce us into a screen of swinging monkeys, and retreat to their tri-state bridge and tunnel confines.
Thus it always seems I exist in a twist of paradox. I refuse to edit out the MUMIA audio AND visual, that's crazy and they must be out of their f*cking mind!

Even though I havn't really checked out any of the new PE albums since the Apacalypse album, I gotta give it up to Chuck D for standing his ground. PE is the only group I can think of who has always done music their way consistantly. They haven't tried to change up their style to get radio play or become more appealing to the main stream or record labels. They do what they do without the use of gimecks. I can truely say without a doubt that PE will never sell out (and that's a bold statement)
Though I may not really feel their new shit (or maybe I just haven't really heard any new shit), I used to love the shit out of them back in the day, and they will always have my respect. I think some of these old timers trying to make a come back like Slick Rick, Kool G Rap and even Rakim need to take a lesson from PE.
ps FUCK MTV

The claim is he didn't do it and there is a lot of evidence he might not have and at the very least he probably got a rotten trial. Or so the argument goes.

Yes - you can get the death sentence for murdering one person. Especially if that person is a cop killer and especially if there is a strong case that you did it out of hate.
And it's true that Mumia has always maintained his innocence.
I have a "Free Mumia" button, but it doesn't seem to be working.

For Repeat's sake, they did it!
The Brian Brewer-coached Marietta College Pioneers won a program first second straight D3 national baseball championship by defeating Wheaton (Ma.) College, 7-2, in the World Series title game at Fox Cities Stadium in Grande Chute, Wis., Wednesday. Unbelievable.
Unbelievable, because the Etta Express earned the crown the hard way - coming out of the losers bracket by knocking off Webster, Wheaton, St. Thomas, respectively, and then Wheaton again.
Plainly, there were consequences whenever MC got beat in a 2012 postseason tournament game - the Pioneers just never lost again.
Same thing happened in the Mideast Regional at Don Schaly Stadium. After MC fell to St. John Fisher, it rallied and defeated Washington & Jefferson, Adrian, St. John Fisher and then Manchester twice.
Back to the World Series, there were so many turning points, but one of the ones that stood out the most was the game against the Webster (Mo.) Gorloks.
Marietta had already lost to St. Thomas on Sunday, so a setback to Webster, and it would be sent packing back to Washington County.
The Pioneers enjoyed an early 2-0 advantage, but then came the top of the fourth inning. That's when the Gorloks reared its St. Bernard head.
When the dust finally settled in that frame, Webster had batted around and plated seven runs.
Seven runs! Unheard of. Thing is, it could've been even worse as the Gorloks had the bases loaded before they were retired.
Can you imagine if Webster had added more runs to the count?
Anyways, Webster led 7-2, and had Marietta staggering to use a boxing term.
Now, for a lot of schools, a five-run disadvantage would be difficult to overcome. But not for Marietta.
MC knew it was still early in the contest, and a lot of baseball remained to be played. The Pioneers didn't need to get all those runs back at once, but almost did - and then some.
In the bottom half of the fourth, Marietta answered with a six-run explosion itself to regain the lead, 8-7. After that inning, MC never looked back, and Webster went quietly, going scoreless the rest of the way.
The Webster head coach even said after the game that his Gorloks had gotten punched back in the nose in that inning. Actually, it was more of a knockout to the chin.
Next, Marietta won a tough, extra-inning game against Wheaton, and then got a great pitching performance from Mike Mahaffey in a payback triumph against St. Thomas.
But those games never would have been played if the Pioneers hadn't erased a five-run deficit against the Gorloks.
No question about it, the best D3 baseball team in America won, and actually repeated - for repeat's sake.
And, finally, I know that a lot of sports fans from this area watch ESPN Sports Center, and the commentators love to talk about LeBron, Tebow, etc., etc. ad nauseum. It's also boring, boring, boring.
For a change of pace, ESPN Sports Center really should schedule an interview with Brewer and a couple of the Pioneer players (Tim Saunders and Austin Blaski come to mind.)
If anything, it would be a sign of respect for one of the best dang college baseball programs, regardless of division, in the country.
Would ESPN ever do this? Probably not.

SAN FRANCISCO -- After his team's sweep of the New York Mets over the weekend, Giants manager Bruce Bochy pumped the brakes on any "best team in baseball" talk, saying it was early and the Giants still had not gotten a look at every team in the National League. Their first dance with the talented Washington Nationals was a nightmare.
The Nationals, a popular preseason World Series pick, peppered the gaps Monday night in a 9-2 win at AT&T Park, lining eight extra-base hits in the first seven innings. Ryan Vogelsong was charged with a season-high six earned runs.
"I just had a bad night, that's all," Vogelsong said. "It wasn't my night tonight. They've got some guys in there that can swing the bat, and they were hot, so that changes things. I felt I had a pretty good game plan going in, but I didn't make enough good pitches.
"I threw some really good pitches and some really bad ones. It was just one of those nights."
The Giants haven't had many of these. They had won 14 of 17, but the trouble started early Monday night. Vogelsong had a 2.05 ERA over his previous eight starts, but he gave up a run in the first on two doubles. Just about everything the Nationals hit in the first inning was hard, and the barrage continued in the second. After a Wilson Ramos single off the right field wall, Ian Desmond smacked a triple off the top of the center field wall.
With two outs in the third, Vogelsong gave up a long double to Adam LaRoche. Ryan Zimmerman walked on a close 3-2 pitch, and Vogelsong then walked Ramos to load the bases. Desmond's single scored LaRoche and Zimmerman, and several in the Giants dugout could be seen yelling at home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott.
"I can't say anything about that, because the commissioner's office will call me," Vogelsong said when asked about the strike zone. "Their guy pitched to it, too."
That was Stephen Strasburg, who cruised through his six innings, giving up just four hits and one run while striking out seven. Strasburg's manager, former Giants star Matt Williams, made an easy decision in the seventh, pulling Strasburg after just 88 pitches. At the time, the Nationals led 9-1 in Williams' first game in San Francisco as a manager.
Vogelsong had retired 10 of 11 after Desmond's single, and he struck out the side in the sixth, but the Nationals got back in gear in the seventh. Denard Span lined his third extra-base hit in four at-bats, a double to right-center. Kevin Frandsen followed with a single that ended Vogelsong's night. George Kontos entered and allowed a single to Werth and walked LaRoche before getting a grounder to short. Brandon Crawford's throw home got one out, but Buster Posey's throw to first got away from Michael Morse, allowing a run to score. Two more hits capped a five-run inning.
"They've got some guys that can hit in that lineup, and they've been on a roll," Bochy said. "They came in here with a lot of confidence, and Vogey was a little bit off. When you find a team that's hot with the bat, they're probably going to take advantage of pitches that are elevated, and they did."
The defeat was the largest of the season for the Giants, who had won five straight.

'So You Think You Can Dance' Recap: Season 10 Finale Part 1
It's your Top Four America! It's the performance finale for "So You Think You Can Dance." Next week, the winning guy and girl.
Tonight, everyone gets five dances including a solo, Judging from the comments, many viewers checked out last week when Paul was eliminated. The judges are regular Mary Murphy, Nigel Lythgoe, random judge who is not a dancer Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas and the fabulous Paula Abdul.
First dance: Jazz fusion with a primal club feel with Aaron and Amy to "Primal" by Richard Vission and Luciana. Nigel thinks it was a great way to open the show and he likes the costumes. Mary says they knocked it out of the park. Gabby likes the costumes. Paula says it was a funky dance and Aaron is a generous partner and Amy has an amazing center.
Second: Jasmine and Fik-shun in contemporary. It's about a couple falling apart. Her legs are as tall as Fik-shun. The goal of the dance is for them to be underwater. The dance, set to the classical "Spiegel im Spiegel," by Vadim Gluzman & Angela Yoffe is pretty spectacular to watch, helped by the constant blowing of fans.
Mary says Travis Wall, the choreographer, is brilliant. She said she didn't think the pairing would work out but it was gorgeous. Gabby liked Jasmine's lines. Paula says Jasmine has been exquisite this whole season and Fik-shun has had quite a journey. Nigel agrees with everyone.
Third: Aaron and all-star Melinda doing tap to Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man." I'm sorry, but this is a horrible choice of music for a tap routine, and it feels awkward. I'm in the minority. Then again, I can't remember the last time I heard the judges say anything negative about the choreographers. In fact, they make the guy stand up for applause. Paula says it was a brilliant routine. Gabby likes tap. Nigel says people love tap and it was a great concept. Mary says it was full of complex rhythms and is very excited.
Fourth: All-star Comfort and Jasmine choose hip-hop. It's about being feminine and powerful to Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls.)" Paula says there's nothing Jasmine can't do and she's ferocious. Nigel says he couldn't believe she chose hip-hop and Jasmine had great attitude and she's fighting to win it.
Fifth: Fik-shun and Amy take a turn around the Tango and Pasodoble to "Hazardous Zero" by PP Music. Nigel says they are both brilliant dancers. Mary says some sections weren't as strong for Fik-shun but he's a great partner. Gabby liked the facial expressions. Paula says it wasn't Fik-shun's wheelhouse but he handled his woman well and Amy was perfection.
Sixth: Jasmine's solo. Everyone falls all over themselves at her amazingness.
Seventh: Jasmine dances the samba with Aaron to "Can't Touch It" by Ricki-Lee. It's supposed to be full of spice and running up and down stairs. Ooops, Aaron was supposed to tear off her skirt and ran into a little problem but it worked out. Mary (of course) loved the choreography but didn't love the dancing. She said Aaron was awkward and was missing some basic samba technique. Gabby loved it but said it wasn't the strongest one. Nigel said he wanted more from them.
Eighth: Fik-shun does a hilarious solo to "Gangnam Style."
Nigel sums it all up when he says Fik-shun isn't this season's best dancer, but he's the best performer.
Ninth: Amy's solo. Everyone talks about Amy's power and stamina.
Tenth: Fik-shun and tWitch dance their swerve up to "Hello, Good Morning" by Diddy Dirty Money. Nigel loves it and says it was tremendous and they can both dance with personality. Mary says they are going to love watching this later.
Eleventh: Aaron's solo. I forgot that he was originally cut and then came back on because of an injury. Nigel says fate brought Aaron to them.
Twelfth: Amy and all-star Robert for contemporary to "Say Something" by A Great Big World. It makes Paula weepy. Nigel is floored by the emotion and the performance and technique. It's his favorite routine too and puts Amy into his lead. Gabby says good job.
Thirteenth: Fik-shun and Aaron do a little Broadway to "The Jitters" by Big Bad VooDoo Daddy. Nigel says it was like a Michael Kidd routine and they must be exhausted. Mary says it was the cutest thing ever. Gabby loved the energy.
Final Dance: Amy and Jasmine for a jazz routine about Siamese Twins. They're dancing to "The Diva Dance" by Eric Serra. Paula loved it. Nigel says it was loopy and zany and fun. He gives them a standing ovation for being amazing.
So which dancers do you like for the winners? I'm leading toward Jasmine and Amy because they're better than both boys. Oh what, they can't both win? mmmm. Jasmine and Fik-Shun?

Face/Mask: Decoding the Human Gaze
Whose face do you see when you look in the mirror? Is it the literal "you" or the "you" filtered through your mood and situation at the time of viewing? When we look at another's face or at a picture, are we able to decipher what lies beneath the surface? - Hugh Atkins & Deborah Johnson
The human gaze is powerful... to really see others by looking into their eyes implies that others see us as well, but does "to see and be seen" automatically imply "we know and are known." It's disquieting to think that while we are making assumptions based on appearance others are doing the same. These questions of identity have always perplexed us.
To resolve this many ancient societies used ritual masks. Masks bestowed the wearer with an alternate identity, amplified the wearer's power and provided a way to avoid being "seen". We have not transcended the desire to wear masks. We go to great lengths with our physical appearance and we construct social identities based on carefully curated images of ourselves and our experiences for social media pages. These careful choices help us assemble a mask to filter the way others view us.
The art we create and surround ourselves with often serves a similar function. Art brings another dimension to our fascination with constructing identities for ourselves and others. The very act of creating the art commits the artist to share parts of their identity with the viewer, and by choosing to manipulate the human gaze as a subject we must confront ourselves in the images of others faces.
- Deborah Johnson

Intel Corporation Leaps to Top of the EPA Green Power List
Intel Corporation became the largest purchaser of green power in the United States on January 28, when the company committed to buy 1.3 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy credits per year. The purchase catapulted Intel to the top of the list of leading U.S. green power purchasers, a list maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Renewable energy credits, or RECs, represent the environmental attributes of renewable power that is sold to wholesale power markets. Intel is buying its RECs from Sterling Planet, and its purchase will support a variety of wind, solar, biomass, and small hydropower facilities. See the Intel press release and press kit.
Intel Corporation's green power purchase is partly in response to a nationwide challenge issued by EPA in December 2006, calling for Fortune 500 corporations to collectively double their green power purchases to more than 5 billion kWh per year. Fifty-three companies stepped up to the challenge and exceeded the goal, buying more than 6 billion kWh of green power annually, enough to power nearly 670,000 average U.S. homes. The purchases will avoid carbon dioxide emissions equal to burning more than 570 million gallons of gasoline. See the EPA Fortune 500 list.
EPA also updated its other green power lists, and on its National Top 25 list, the U.S. Air Force moved back up to the number three spot after more than doubling its annual green power purchases. The Air Force is now buying more than 899 million kWh per year, up from 457.5 million kWh last year. In addition, HSBC North America jumped from 17th place to the 10th spot by more than doubling its green power purchase to 300 million kWh per year. New to the National Top 25 list are two Texas cities—the City of Dallas at number 9 and the City of Houston at number 12—and those cities now lead the Top 10 Local Government list. EPA's Green Power Partnership works with more than 850 partner organizations that are buying more than 13 billion kWh of green power annually. See the EPA press release and Green Power Partnership Web site.

Michael Johnson's been released by City; pictures have surfaced of him looking overweight and he was offered a £40k severance package just before Christmas. Full here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jan/15/michael-johnson-released-manchester-city?intcmp=239Six years ago "The teenager was, according to [Sven Goran] Eriksson, the outstanding player of his age in English football." Apparently he's now checked into the Priory for mental health issues which contributed to the career issues. Media training etc makes young players interviews so dull these days, but I guess it serves the purpose of protecting them as well as the clubs, and with recent cases (this, Balotelli, Gary Speed) it's clear to see that something needs to be done to support players mental development too. They get a whole lot of pressure dumped on them from an age where they're still developing mentally and physically, and I think clubs try to support them but I wonder if more could be done to get it right.Or should it be? Is it the club's responsibility? My previous employers openly acknowledged they put too much pressure on me, but they certainly didn't offer me any 'fluffy' support; should football be different?I'm not really sure what my point is in this, but I think it's a sad case which asks questions about the support offered to young players.
Sad ... but it's not that uncommon. People tend to 'ignore' mental illness, but it hits more people than you think. I think it's somewhere about 1 in 4 of us that will experience some form of mental health problem in a year (a year - that means that we're all likely to experience some problem in our lifetime).Luckily (in a way), at least footballers have the resource to tackle the problem (both financially and medically) given their environment - as long as they are able to see that they have a problem in the first place.How many footballers have we seen that have developed addictions etc over the years - even the Saintly Sir James Greaves had a drink problem.I just hope the man realises that he MAY have a problem and tries to get some help. Recognising that a problem may exist is the first step in curing any illness.

3.6-15 Rescue Doctrine
Revised to January 1, 2008
The defendant in this case
has asserted the defense of comparative negligence. This defense
asserts that the plaintiff's injuries were caused, either in part or
in whole, by the plaintiff's own negligent conduct. When viewing
the plaintiff's conduct, you may consider a doctrine of law known as
the rescue doctrine. The rescue doctrine states that it is not
negligence to expose oneself to danger in a reasonable effort to
save another person from harm.
To determine whether the
conduct of the plaintiff falls within the rescue doctrine, you must
consider the evidence and decide whether the plaintiff made a
reasonable effort to save <insert the name of the appropriate
person>. In determining whether the actions of the plaintiff
were reasonable, you should judge the conduct in light of the
existing circumstances. The question is not whether the conduct was
that of a prudent person under ordinary circumstances but whether
the conduct was that of an ordinarily prudent person in an
emergency. In an emergency, the conduct of a person attempting a
rescue is not to be judged by what one would do when there was time
for cool deliberation but by what a reasonable person would do in
that emergency.
If you find that the
plaintiff was reasonably faced with an emergency in which there was
fear for the safety of another, and that the plaintiff made a
reasonable effort to save <insert the name of the appropriate
person> from harm, then the plaintiff would not be negligent.
If you find that the
plaintiff's efforts to rescue were not reasonable under the
circumstances, then the plaintiff was negligent and the principles
of comparative negligence, as I will explain them to you, will
Zimny v. Cooper-Jarrett, Inc., 8
Conn. App. 407, 411-22, cert. denied, 201 Conn. 811 (1986); Cote
v. Palmer, 127 Conn. 321 (1940). See also 2 Restatement
(Second), Torts § 472 (1965).
The rescue doctrine
applies under Connecticut's comparative negligence statute. This is
true even if the plaintiff-rescuer contributed to the victim's
peril. In such cases, "the rescuer's negligence in contributing to
the peril is to be considered along with all of the other negligence
of the rescuer and the defendant." Zimny v. Cooper-Jarrett, Inc.,
supra, 8 Conn. App. 421-22.

"We like to keep a low profile for our jet use." I can't tell you how many times I've heard variations on that line since I arrived at Business Jet Traveler in 2004. It has been a constant challenge to find business jet owners and passengers willing to be profiled in our pages and companies that will go on the record about their use of private aviation.

ARVADA — The Evergreen Cougars expected to get hit at least once by the talented Golden Demons.
That, the Cougars hoped, was something they could handle.
What Evergreen coach Whitney Walker didn't expect April 16 was the referees to take a few of their own shots.
Although the No.5-ranked Demons were the better side in terms of talent on the pitch, they defeated the Cougars 5-2 thanks to two penalty kicks, two free kicks right outside the penalty area and a corner kick.
LITTLETON — Seeing that the Evergreen Cougars beat the Arapahoe Warriors in lacrosse would cause most fans to do a double take.
After all, the Warriors are the No. 1-ranked team in the state in class 5A and the Cougars were 3-5 in class 4A heading into Monday's game.
But the Cougars didn't get the top Warriors squad as they traveled to Littleton. Instead they battled Arapahoe's Varsity II squad and beat them soundly 8-2 on April 19 at Powell Middle School.
The Colorado Horsecare Foodbank, which was started last year by Evergreen resident Juliana Lehman, continues to help horse owners who are down to their last straw.
And now the organization is looking for a little help from local residents in an effort to land a $50,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project. The money would enable the nonprofit to buy haying equipment and harvest donated fields of hay for horse owners in need.

A fire at Keys on the Green on April 16 caused about $50,000 in damage to the roof and walls of the restaurant.
A call for a possible structure fire came in at 9:24 a.m. to Evergreen Fire/Rescue, and it was initially thought the fire was in the kitchen, according to Fire Chief Garry Dejong. When firefighters arrived, the building was being evacuated.
"When we got there, there was smoke coming from the eaves," Dejong said. "It was pushing out pretty good."
Our mountain communities lie across the foothills above Denver like a string of shining pearls. Evergreen is at the geographic center of that string and often becomes the hub for groups and events that embrace the many communities in the greater mountain area. The Mountain Area Earth Day Fair has drawn the eco-minded from all areas to Evergreen for more than 20 years and has become the hub that brings together the organizations, nonprofit groups, government agencies, schools and businesses in our area that share a passion for sustainability in our communities.
After serving as a member of the Evergreen Fire Protection District board since November 2007, George Goldbach officially seconded his last motion at the regular meeting April 13.
"I have to tell you how hard this was, sitting on this side of the table for a change," said Goldbach, who has had a 50-year career in the fire service as a paid professional, including a stint as chief of West Metro Fire Rescue.
"This is the end of a 50-year love affair," Goldbach said.
The 2010 Ice Melt Barrel on Evergreen Lake officially hit water on Monday, April 12, at 14:35:43, but two days after the steel drum was spotted in a floating position, the barrel disappeared off everyone's radar screens.
It was the latest splashdown in the four-year history of the fund-raiser, which is staged by Mountain Foothills Rotary members.
The Evergreen Park and Recreation District has received a $107,000 Open Space Joint Venture Grant to make landscaping and other outdoor improvements at Evergreen Lake. The district is projected to spend $43,000 for a total project cost of $150,000.
Based on the grant application, the bulk of the money, or $77,000, is to add 2 inches of asphalt to the parking lot "to even it out and clean it up," said Dick Wulf, park district consultant. "It's not in very good shape."

The smoky, leathery character of birch takes over in the first few seconds, making this signature absolutely unique and difficult to situate.

Working with the world's top noses, Le Labo has created thirteen scents, each built around a primary natural essence from Grasse, France's 'Perfume Capital'.

When it comes to fly fishing, fall is the forgotten season - which makes it the perfect time to capture the serenity of the stream (and hopefully a couple of fish, too). Among all of the excitement if there's a moment to take the time to glance up, colorful leaves and scenic fall vistas are abundant.
The less hectic fall fishing pace means a more enjoyable trip, and trout have grown in size over the summer in both length and girth, according to Jon Ewert, aquatic biologist for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
"Fall temperatures also mean that there are less insects to compete with," Ewert said. "The food sources for fish are scarce during this season, so it's a great time for anglers to seize the moment and for new people to pick up the sport."
Cooler temperatures mean anglers will face hungry trout, find faint insect swarms and wade into cooler waters that can possibly mean more active fish.
With absent crowds and few anglers, rivers that have been crowded on summer days are now calm.
If you're planning to hire a guide, plan ahead. Many guides head back to other jobs after the Labor Day Weekend madness. Trout are also a much different opponent during the fall, according to Matt Bowman, shop lead at Cutthroat Anglers in Silverthorne.
Fish that have been lethargic because of high summer temperatures, or secretive because of constant angler pressure, are now ready to begin the serious business of eating.
"Fish are looking for anything that will help them build the needed reserves that will mean survival through the leaner winter months ahead," Ewert said. "The bigger trout now become eating machines."
Having a knowledge of the insects around during different seasons can also be a major tool in catching fish.
"There are so many different bugs that we see at different times of the year," Bowman said. "You have to become familiar with them and know what patterns to use at different times of the year."
The key to catching a fish is making the bugs look as naturally as possible.
"There's so much technique in how to move the line to mimic the movements of insects," Bowman said. "If a fish is going to fall for a bait, it needs to be a bug they are familiar with - it needs to look like the insect, move like the insect and behave like the insect or the fish will have nothing to do with it."
Recently, the cooler weather and rain have helped cool down rivers and put more water into the stream beds.
Still, several of streams are experiencing dangerously high water temperatures later in the day, Ewert said.
"Try to get an early start on your fishing day and be receptive to stopping earlier than normal should you run into water temps in the upper 60s," he said. "Just drop your thermometer in the water. If it is over 68 degrees, it is definitely time to give the fish a break."
For a lot of people, fly fishing is a stress reliever.
"It's something that let's them let go of everything else that they are stressed about in their lives. You can get out and forget about everything," Bowman said. "It's not always about catching the fish - it's about the area you're walking and the views are amazing in the places that we fish."
Once anglers get more into the sport of fly fishing, tying up bait can contribute to the pride associated with catching a fish.
"There are days that you're going to struggle to hook into one fish, but once you do it's very gratifying," Bowman said. "When you catch one with your own tie, it's different from anything anyone else has made - it's your own pattern and that feels really good too."

Leeville Bridge gets recognition
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 12:24 a.m.
Despite financial woes, the Leeville Bridge was named No. 6 in a trade publication's top 10 bridges in the United States for 2012.
Roads and Bridges Magazine is a 103-year-old trade publication covering the transportation construction and maintenance marketplace. It named the Leeville Bridge among its top 10, citing the "end-on" technique used in construction.
Because of the sensitive marshland below the bridge, contractors were required to stage all equipment on the bridge instead of on barges below and still completed the work on time, the publication said.
The $139 million, 5.4-mile phase one of the bridge was completed in December 2011. It serves as a path to Port Fourchon and Grand Isle.
According to a recent legislative audit, about 300,000 drivers hadn't paid the $2.50 toll and the state hadn't done anything to collect.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has since changed the method in which tolls are collected and increased its efforts to pursue violators.

'Mad Men' Creator Admits To Historical Error on Show
Matthew Weiner, creator of "Mad Men," apologized for an error in the most recent episode of the hit cable-TV show during a discussion Tuesday night in New York.
In the episode, set in 1968, a character said she had made dinner reservations at the Manhattan restaurant Le Cirque, which did not open until 1974.
The show, on AMC, strives for historical accuracy, but "we make mistakes," he said at the Paley Center for Media.
"Mad Men," now in its sixth season, originally was set in the early 1960s and has moved into the country's most violent year since 1863, Weiner said.
"NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams, who moderated the discussion, said recent episodes seem to have taken a "severe turn toward the dark," but Weiner replied, "I don't know if it's any darker than anything we have done."
He described the show's current atmosphere as a "state of anxiety." "Anxiety is an anticipation of danger," which causes nervousness and prompts people to medicate themselves in various ways, he noted.
"My research supported that white men in suits did just fine" during the late '60s, Weiner said, referring to most of the characters depicted on the show.
While men working in the creative department of the show's fictional advertising agency, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, have sprouted facial hair this season, the main character, Don Draper, is not going to, Weiner said. "As creative director of an advertising agency, there's only so far that he can go."
Jon Hamm, who plays Draper, said, "This season we find out a lot more about why Don does what he does. This behavior doesn't just come out of nowhere. Don had very unique childhood."
January Jones, who plays Draper's first wife, Betty, said her character is "constantly struggling to find what is going to make her happy in life. She is trying to be a good mother, trying to be a good wife."
In recent episodes, Betty is "about as happy as we've ever seen her," Jones said.
Jessica Paré, who plays Draper's current wife, Megan, said she watched the show for a long time before she won a spot in the cast. "I cannot believe how lucky I am."
Like her character, she grew up bilingual in Canada.
Weiner said he cast Paré because she reminded him of a French movie star of the '60s.
John Slattery called his character, ad executive Roger Sterling, "a work in progress." "He's informed by experiences he's had," including military service in World War II.
"I desperately love playing him," he added.
Weiner said he has sworn off reading online comments about the show though he is happy to hear about it from people he meets and to read items that friends send him.
Hamm admitted following a couple websites that publish recaps of the show, but he avoids the comments section. "I do like hearing intelligent people talk about the show. There's a lot of the show that I don't get."
Weiner said shooting of the sixth season finished last week but editing continues.
He has mapped out an ending for the series and shared it with his wife and a few of the show's writers. He previously has said the series would end after the seventh season.
Slattery, who has directed several episodes, said doing so let him "see how well it's put together. Everything is either informed by something else or pays off later."
Weiner said, "There is no formula for the show. That's good for the audience," but makes it harder to write.
He has the arc of each season planned and four to six scripts written before shooting starts. Then another script is needed every seven days. "It's an incredible experience to feel your brain is keeping it going."
Weiner said he and the show's writers use ideas from various sources for the story lines, including their lives, friends' experiences and literary characters. "Anybody you run into who tells you a good story."
The ad campaigns that the characters work on are a "good opportunity to delve into period," he said. Companies such as Hilton and Heinz were "models of American business character, run by individuals."

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the nation's agricultural trade surplus is also expected to increase to $19.5 billion, up 40 percent from $13.9 billion in fiscal year 2016.
The Houston, Texas-based third-party logistics provider moved into a new 34,000-square-foot warehouse and office complex adjacent to the London Heathrow Airport in an effort to enhance its UK market presence.
SEKO Logistics named Michael Christensen president of SaaS and CPO of International Supply Chain Solutions to lead a new business unit focusing on the third-party logistics provider's service-as-a-software technology solutions.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The Itasca, Ill.-based third-party logistics provider has added a 50,000-square-foot warehouse on the border of Shenzhen in southeastern China, 30 minutes away from the Port of Hong Kong and 45 minutes from Hong Kong International Airport.
Chinese authorities have said that containers from certain countries shall be subject to effective anti-mosquito treatment in order to prevent the virus from spreading, which has left many shippers concerned.
DSF said it expects intra-regional trades to grow in importance at the expense of the main east-west trades.

ALAMEDA -- Raiders running back Darren McFadden is fresh from his worst season as an NFL player. Fortunately for McFadden, he has this season to redeem himself before he makes a pitch for a second contract.
On Thursday, McFadden said he isn't thinking about his impending free agency, though he admits to it being something he is aware of. His focus is on showing that he can play at a level unlike anything seen during his first five seasons.
"You've seen a lot of glimpses, though, but I can promise you that you haven't seen the best of me at all," McFadden said.
McFadden, who turns 26 just before the regular season, averaged 5.2 and 5.4 yards per carry in 2010 and 2011. That figure dipped to a career-worst 3.3 last season.
Some attribute the precipitous decline to a change in the blocking scheme. Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp and offensive line coach Frank Pollack implemented a zone-blocking scheme, even though McFadden flourished in a power-blocking scheme.
Coach Dennis Allen fired Knapp and Pollack at season's end. Now it's back to power blocking under new offensive line coach Tony Sparano.
McFadden looked lost in the zone-blocking scheme. He said he feels quite comfortable now.
"I feel like everybody's up to speed," McFadden said. "I feel like I'm up to speed with everybody. I know the blocks that they're going to make and where the holes should be."
McFadden also is taking it upon himself to be more of a leader, something that Allen welcomes.
"I feel like there was times last year, guys would like to talk a lot," McFadden said. "It might have been at the wrong time when I was cracking jokes. I'm just being more of a vocal leader and leading for the younger guys."

DETROIT — The injury situation in the Oakland clubhouse Tuesday wasn't as dire as the A's may have feared Monday night.
Yoenis Cespedes and Derek Norris were still not in the A's lineup, but both could be on Wednesday.
And Scott Kazmir, who came out of Monday's start with a leg cramp, reported to Comerica Park feeling fine and is expected to make his next start this weekend against the Blue Jays.
Cespedes said in English that he could play, that his left hamstring hadn't cramped Monday as much as it just tightened. Either way, he said, ``I can play.'' Manager Bob Melvin thought it best to give him the start off.
The left fielder hurt himself running from first to the plate on Brandon Moss's go-ahead double in the eighth inning and was lifted from the game before the bottom of the eighth began.
Norris, dealing with back issues on this three-city road trip, caught starter Tommy Milone's off-day bullpen session before Tuesday's game, then took batting practice.
The catcher said he wasn't going to make any predictions, but that he felt he was very close to playing.
``I can't go until Nick (trainer Nick Paparesta) says I can,'' he said. ``But I'm feeling all right.''
He put his glove on his fractured right hand while throwing. He didn't catch the ball, but he's evidently getting closer to being able to do that.
Melvin said even though Pomeranz has been throwing, ``based on the time off,'' he will probably need a game or two on an injury rehabilitation assignment before he's ready to rejoin the rotation.
``He's fine on a stationary bike or elliptical,'' the manager said, ``but he struggles when he runs.''

Teen volunteer works water wizardry for Coastkeeper
After learning that an automated water sampling device needed for stormwater testing would cost $7,000, a 16-year-old San Diego Coastkeeper volunteer figured he could do better.
With a technical bent and an interest in robotics, Noah Thoron aimed to build a home-made version of the device for a fraction of that cost. Using off-the-shelf parts, he designed a water monitoring apparatus budgeted at about $500, and is raising funds to build it.
The project is part classwork, part community service and part DIY tinkering. For two years Noah, 16, has worked two days a week at Coastkeeper San Diego, through a required internship program at San Diego Met High School, located on the Mesa College Campus.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, he enters water monitoring data, sterilizes collection bottles and restocks collection kits used in the organization's water monitoring program, which tests for bacteria and toxins in the region's waterways. The nonprofit collects the data to help track contaminants that can damage stream habitat and pollute beaches.
Students must also complete a project as part of their internships. To satisfy that requirement, Noah recently drew up plans for the water sampling device, which would reduce the need for volunteers to collect water by hand during downpours.
Made up of spare parts and household items, it's an economical and ingenious solution, said Travis Pritchard, water quality lab manager for the organization.
"It really shows his creative thinking and problem solving skills," Pritchard said.
To highlight his unique version of an afterschool job, the U-T sat down with Noah to discuss his project.
Q: How did you come up with the device you're planning?
A: Travis was one day telling me about his experience in agriculture. He was working with machines that would automatically sample water. They cost about $7,000 per unit. And I thought that was ridiculous, and I could do it for significantly less. I did some research, came up with schematics, priced out parts. And I came up with what we have, which came down from $7,000 to about $500.
Q: How does it work?
A: It's pretty simple. We have the controller, which is the brain. We have the pump, which is basically a cake pan with a bike brake and some skateboard wheels in it, which I found on a micro-brewing website. It was considerably cheaper than the other pumps I've found which were industrial quality. The body is a trash can; it's the simplest container that I have. Cheap, easy. The water goes in through the pump. It's distributed through a valve array, and into the collection bottles.
Q: How would you use it?
A: Mostly when we would use it would be during the rainy season. In a stream, when it rains, pollutants from streets, backyards, lawns, dog poop, those all rush into the streams, and they start to be filled with toxins.
Q: How would the device improve stormwater monitoring?
A: In the past, we've had volunteers go and sit by a stream for eight hours a day, getting soaked to a bone, collecting bottles every hour. And we only have so many volunteers who are willing to do that. This would allow us to do it more efficiently.
Q: What appealed to you about this job, and kept you coming for two years?
A: I feel like I'm making a difference. I'm doing work that will matter, that will help shape the world that I will soon inherit.
Q: What is most interesting about water monitoring?
A: It's interesting to see what exactly is in those rivers, how dirty even a crystal clear stream can be. It's interesting to see the science process, to understand what science really is.
Q: What has struck you the most about the water quality data you've worked with?
A: It struck me that I never really thought about what was in the water. Now, I wonder how I didn't. What's in the water is directly going to affect what's in the land. And it struck me how applicable chaos theory is here. One stream weakens, and the whole ecosystem comes crashing down.
Q: Is this the line of work you hope to go into?
A: I don't think so. I'm planning on majoring in mechanical engineering and going into robotics. But this experience has been enlightening, and it's given me the chance to do something that I would have never been able to do.

SAN JOSE -- With three days this week to explore his options, Sharks coach Todd McLellan plucked Joe Pavelski -- his team's leading scorer with 41 goals and 79 points -- off the top line for Tuesday's practice and moved him into the third-line center slot.
For more than a year, McLellan has said that playing Pavelski on the third line when everybody is healthy gives his team scoring balance and a better chance to win.
Still, no coach would casually take Pavelski off the line with Joe Thornton and Brent Burns, and McLellan said it has not been determined where Pavelski will start Thursday night against the Los Angeles Kings in the playoffs opener.
"We feel equally comfortable going either way," McLellan said.
The determining factors, he added, are whether rookie Tomas Hertl is able to handle more minutes against key players on the top line with Joe Thornton and Brent Burns as well as Raffi Torres' potential return.
"A lot of that will dictate which way we'll go," McLellan said.
Pavelski has played most of his games on the top line since the Dec. 19 hit by Kings captain Dustin Brown that knocked Hertl out of the lineup for 45 games as he recovered from knee surgery.
Does Pavelski expect to see action in both spots over the course of the series?
"It depends on how it goes," he said. "You win a few games, things usually stay the same. You lose a few, there's always changes and adjustments to be made."
Kopitar, who led the Kings in scoring this season with 70 points in 82 games, was held off the scoresheet that night as the Sharks earned a 2-1 win.
San Jose has done a decent job of containing Kopitar this season. He had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime win by the Kings on Oct. 30 but was limited to one point in the four other regular-season meetings.
Couture said winning faceoffs and pinning the Kopitar line in its own end is the biggest key. That's easier said than done, since the Kings were one of the best puck possession teams in the NHL this season.
McLellan cited other factors as well.
"We know they're going to control the puck down there," he said. "It's where you're giving up shots, it's how many rebounds you're allowing them to get to, and how quick you can recover the puck and get going the other way."
Staff writer Curtis Pashelka contributed to this report.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Mako 18 LTS is to create a fishing boat that can easily penetrate the skinny water along shorelines. Between her shallow draft and Rapid Planing hull she makes an excellent combination for operating where other boats can't reach. Add the optional jack plate and she can go into even thinner water.
The layout offers plenty of room for two or three anglers while underway and separation while fishing.
There's plenty of room for storage but the large forward compartment will probably be serving time as a fish locker.
Major Features
• Rapid Planing System Hull Design. According to Mako, this provides for quick hole shots and nimble handling.
• Flip-flop Helm Seat with an 18 Gallon (68.14 L) Cushioned Cooler. Easy to get a drink while drift fishing.
• Forward console seat with an 18 gal. (68.14 L) aerated baitwell.
• Raised Fore and Aft Casting Decks. They also include watertight storage compartments with close-molded lids.
• Aluminum Single-axle Trailer with EZ Lube Hubs. The package is light weight making it easily trailerable with anything that has a hitch.
• Fully Composite Construction. This ensures a stiff hull while maintaining lightweight and means no wood is in the build.
• Self-bailing Cockpit. No worries about rain storms sinking the boat at the dock.
The cockpit is recessed between two elevated casting platforms clearly denoting this as a purpose-built fishing machine.
The styling of the 18 LTS is all bay boat with a recessed cockpit between two elevated casting decks. While small in size she still provides plenty of room to easily move about the center console, even with three vertical rod holders to either side. Her hull style is reminiscent of the old Mako 17 but with a much shallower draft.
The single axle trailer comes as standard equipment. Trailer options add brakes, aluminum wheels, a spare tire carrier and swing away tongue.
Features Walkthrough
The bow features a completely elevated casting deck and Mako thoughtfully provided raised toe rails to keep feet from slipping off the edge. The deck is easily large enough to toss off a casting net and snagging is kept to a minimum thanks to the boat's three pull-up cleats. Two storage compartments are located on the centerline of the foredeck. The compartments are gel coated and the hatches are made in closed molds with gel coat on all sides. Since they have no support struts or wires they can be opened against the deck.
The forward storage compartment has room for an anchor line and other gear. Note the opening, rather than the hatch, is gasketed.
A nonskid surface and raised toe rails add safety to the fore and aft casting decks.
Additional rod storage tubes are located under the bow gunwales.
The center console helm includes three vertical flush-mounted rod holders to either side. Ahead of the console is a padded seat above and 18 gallon (68.14 L) livewell. Aerated and recirculating systems are available as options. The helm seat has a flip flop seatback to easily convert face aft. Underneath is an optional 18 gallon (68.14 L) cooler. Inside the console there is room for three batteries, one for engine start, one for the livewell and electronics, and one for the optional trolling motor. Single or dual bank battery chargers are available as an option.
The helm seat can be flipped forward to make a comfortable seat while waiting for the fish to bite.
Additional storage, and room for three batteries, is accessed from an open port at the aft side of the console.
At the helm, full instrumentation even includes a water pressure gauge. The engine control is a side-mount type affixed to the starboard side of the console, which saves space on the panel, but can be bumped when someone moves fore and aft.
Mako offers Lowrance electronics as options with plenty of room on the panel for installation. Notice the side-mount engine control.
The stern elevated casting deck has large molded storage compartments to both sides. Much like the bow compartments, the lids close against gasketed openings and can lie flat against the deck when opened. Also, as with the bow, an elevated toe rail surrounds the casting deck. A poling platform is available as an option, and considering the 18 LTS's 11"(28 cm) hull draft, that may be a smart option to get.
Three power options are available for the 18 LTS, from 60-115 hp. I can easily see the 90-hp option being the popular choice for giving good midrange performance and outstanding economy. The 115 will obviously add more speed. Of course if economy is the deciding factor then the 60 will be the motor of choice.
Boaters intending to operate consistently in shallow conditions should buy the optional hydraulic engine mount jack plate. With either engine choice the 20"(50.8 cm) shaft length motor mounted to this 25"(63.5 cm) transom and it's tunneled hull will still ensure excellent shallow-water performance. Trim tabs are also available.
Mako Assurance Warranty Program
Mako says its warranty includes--
• Limited Lifetime Structural Hull Warranty
• 5-Year "Stem-to-Stern" Coverage Warranty
• 3-Year Gelcoat Coverage Warranty
• Transferrable to a second owner
While we haven't tested this boat yet, it seems that the Rapid Planing System works well because it has received an NMMA innovation award. Certainly, with any boat operating in skinny water, quick planing times with minimal bow are essential.

Sun OpenCTI 1.1 and ...
By Ales Cernosek on Feb 23, 2010
I'd like to share 2 news today.
The first thing is about having a new release of Sun OpenCTI v1.1 (actually previous version 1.1 announced on 01/27 was re-deployed - the new one is based on rev. 356 of the OpenCTI project).
This version was driven by user requirements and I'm happy to see that majority of bugs/RFEs (however not all!) have been fixed and integrated. In comparison to the very first version (Sun OpenCTI 1.0 Beta) there is a lot of improvements in various areas - from usability, number of features,... to performance. I truly hope you will enjoy it.

STANFORD -- Linebacker A.J. Tarpley takes exception to the notion that he began preparing for his expanded leadership role last winter, after attrition pummeled Stanford's defense. That line of thinking, he said, misses the mark by about four years.
The senior has been girding for this moment since the minute he set foot on campus.
"You have to earn leadership," he said. "It's how you carry yourself from the moment you arrive on campus -- something you enact throughout your career.
"If you wait until training camp to start, it's too late."
Tarpley is one of several veterans attempting to fill the leadership void on defense created by the departure of a handful of players who performed at an all-conference level and knew just what to say off the field.
No one commanded the locker room like inside linebacker Shayne Skov, who served as the eye-black-wearing, fire-breathing passion of one of the nation's top defenses.
Part preacher, part psychologist, Skov would stand before his teammates and unleash a pregame speech that gave his teammates chills.
"There isn't anybody with Shayne's personality, but the guys we have will lead in their own way," defensive coordinator Lance Anderson said. "Leadership is a big part of what we do. Every year we ask that question, and every year leaders emerge.
"A.J. has done a great job making calls, getting us lined up and communicating what's coming."
Tarpley started alongside Skov for 21/2 years, watching carefully as his running mate emerged as the heart and soul of the Cardinal's rugged defense. But Tarpley has no plans to duplicate Skov's weekly call-to-arms.
"The most dangerous thing about leadership is when you try to force it," said Tarpley, who's from Plymouth, Minnesota.
"A.J. is quieter than Shayne, but he says what needs to be said," nose tackle David Parry said.
Playing in the shadow of more celebrated veterans such as Skov, Trent Murphy and Chase Thomas, Tarpley has quietly become one of the best big-game defensive players in the Pac-12 Conference.
As a redshirt freshman, he intercepted USC quarterback Matt Barkley and recovered the game-ending fumble in Stanford's triple-overtime victory in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
As a sophomore, he intercepted a pass by Marcus Mariota in Stanford's upset of top-ranked Oregon.
As a junior, he snared a throw by Washington's Keith Price in the red zone, forced a fumble by Oregon and had seven tackles against Arizona State in the Pac-12 title game.
"You watch the film, even the NFL scouts, and (Tarpley) stands out," Cardinal coach David Shaw said. "In a lot of big games, he's played his best."
But Tarpley believes the foundation for his leadership role this fall was laid during his rookie season, when he was named Scout Team defensive player of the year.
"I didn't have a great chance to play, but I tried to practice hard and keep my head down and my mouth shut," he said. "I looked for good examples to follow and tried to earn everything. The award doesn't mean much materially, but it shows how you carry yourself."
Tarpley won't be leading alone. Parry and Henry Anderson are powerful voices for the defensive line. And safety Jordan Richards has seamlessly taken over for Ed Reynolds as the quarterback of the secondary, organizing offseason workouts and encouraging underclassmen to ask questions in the meeting room.
Like Tarpley, Richards picks his spots to be assertive.
"We all know it's our time," Richards said. "Shayne did his thing. He's gone. ... Now we have to figure out a way to make sure we play our best."
Linebacker A.J. Tarpley leads the Stanford football team onto the field during a home game against Washington last season.

Greece Police are looking for the two suspects who they say were involved in a home invasion, where a family was tied up overnight.
Police say two men followed the manager of the Jewelry Lab, which is located at the Mall at Greece Ridge, home Wednesday night. Police say they entered his apartment on North Glen Drive, hit him over the head and tied up him, his wife and their son.
Investigators say both suspects stayed with the family overnight, waiting until morning when the mall would reopen. The suspects allegedly took the keys to the store.
The family was able to get free around 9:00 a.m. Thursday. They called 911, but police say the suspects had already been to the store. Police are not sure how much was taken from the Jewelry Lab.
Police say the suspects are considered armed and dangerous.
Police say the suspects stole the family's car, which is a 2013 gray Honda Accord. They are asking the public if anyone has seen a car matching that description to call 911.
Messenger Post Media and our news partner, News10NBC will continue to follow this developing story.
