SALT LAKE CITY -- Warriors point guard Stephen Curry zipped through the lane with an around-the-back dribble and finished the highlight-reel play by converting a circus layup over Utah forward Derrick Favors, with the foul.
Curry punched the air and let out a yell. His basket put the Warriors up 19 and provided the exclamation point for another emphatic statement. Golden State accomplished two things Wednesday in Utah. One: recording another impressive road win, 94-83 over the host Utah Jazz. Two: finishing off a team.
"It's a big road win for us, especially after the way we finished the game at home against L.A. this past weekend," Curry said. "We were on a mission to come out and play well and keep our road swag. ... Everybody stepped up and played a physical game and did what we had to do to get the job done tonight."
In their first game since Saturday's heartbreaking home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State played with the kind of confidence and edginess that has highlighted its season.
The Warriors are 11-6 on the road, tied with San Antonio for the most road wins in the NBA.
"That's just a mentality we have," rookie forward Draymond Green said. "When we're on the road, we just have the feeling that it's us against the world. It shows in the game -- the camaraderie that we bring, the toughness that we bring. You kind of want to have that same mentality at home. But we have great fans, so it's hard to feel like that at home."
The Warriors defense limited the Jazz to 38.6 percent shooting and set a season best for fewest points allowed, and that was after the Jazz reserves made a run in garbage time.
To combat Utah's dominance inside, Warriors coach Mark Jackson employed a zone defense much of the night.
The quartet of big men for the Jazz -- Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Favors and Enes Kanter -- was productive: totaling 51 points on 19 of 37 field goals. But they weren't dominant, managing just 40 points in the paint. Golden State hung close on the boards (44-43) and limited Utah to 13 second-chance points.
Jackson also played another card: Andris Biedrins.
He played 19 minutes off the bench, grabbing a game-high 12 rebounds. He gave the Warriors a presence in the paint.
"Andris played unbelievable tonight," forward David Lee said. "Every time we needed a big rebound, he was there. Really proud of him for staying ready."
Having limited Utah's strength, Golden State exploited its sizable backcourt advantage. Utah would have had a hard time containing the Warriors' guards. But without starting point guard Mo Williams (sprained right thumb), Utah stood no chance.
Curry finished with 23 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. His shot wasn't at its best, as he was 7 of 18 from the field, but he shot the 3-pointer well (4 of 7) and put a lot of pressure on Utah's defense. If that wasn't enough, shooting guard Klay Thompson and backup point guard Jarrett Jack poured in 15 points each.
The Warriors took a 12-point lead into the half behind Curry's 18 first-half points. Thompson's 10 points in the third quarter helped the Warriors take a 17-point lead into the fourth quarter.
And there would be no Jazz comeback, no chipping away until the game was decided. After Curry's circus layup, he drilled a 3-pointer. to put Golden State ahead 82-62 with 9:10 left. Minutes later, a steal by Thompson led to a wide-open dunk by Carl Landry, putting Golden State up 88-66.
The Warriors finally finished the job right.
"We made shots, we defended the basketball," Jackson said. " ... Our guys did a great job of following the game plan, taking care of the basketball and not allowing them to dominate the paint and dominate the boards."
Over his past 12 games before Wednesday, Lee had scored at least 20 points, shot 50 percent or better, and grabbed at least eight rebounds. Only three other players in NBA history had maintained such a streak for a minimum of 12 games: Wilt Chamberlain. Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Shaquille O'Neal.
Stats like that are the reason Lee is being mentioned as the Warriors' first All-Star since 1997.
Lee's streak ended with Wednesday's 18-point, 7-for-16 effort.

Are diet changes producing the desired cholesterol level decreases? Has your family's health history put you at risk for a serious illness? How are your medications affecting your body? Can you get your own recommended screening tests?
For years, the answers to these questions depended on a doctor ordering a lab test and explaining the results. Now companies offer consumers the opportunity to test without a doctor's order (direct access testing). Ordering your own lab tests can be helpful, but it is important to do it responsibly. The American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) recommends that people:
People may wish to order their own lab tests if they are worried about their health and want to supplement the care they get from their doctor. The ASCP notes that the people most likely to seek direct access testing are those who want to be more involved in their healthcare.
People might also choose to order their own lab tests if the results might be sensitive, such as for drug tests or tests for sexually transmitted diseases. However, since the results of these tests could effect your doctor's treatment choices for you, it is important to share test results with your doctor, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
The ASCP warns that there can be several difficulties associated with ordering your own lab tests, including:
It is best not order your own lab test to self-diagnose conditions you think you have based on the Internet. Your doctor is trained to help you with that. Also, it may be comforting to use the Internet to find solace in groups of people with the same condition, but every user experience is different. For example, you may be tempted to test your cholesterol with a blood test more often than is necessary, based what you read in message boards and chat rooms. The fact is, it's not useful and is very costly to check it that often. Talk to your doctor about guidelines and recommendations for monitoring any chronic condition you have. Your doctor's office can notify you when you need a test and set up it up at a lab that is convenient for you.
Consumers request the tests they want online or by phone and receive a form to take to a local lab, where blood is drawn or a urine sample is collected. Labs doing the tests may be the same ones used by hospitals and doctors' offices.
Reports compare the person's values to a reference range, which aids in determining whether the results are within normal limits. You should also be aware that, just like a doctor-ordered test, several factors can influence test results. This means you may get a false-negative or false-positive result. Either way, misinterpreting results can lead to unnecessary stress and potential dangers. Consumers generally only receive basic information about the tests and are encouraged to share and discuss the results with their doctors.

Knitter's Review
March 20, 2008
Last week it was 9 degrees outside, yesterday it was in the upper 40s, and today it's snowing. What is a knitter to do when the weather won't make up its mind?
We turn to transitional yarns, whose blended fibers cater to warm and cold weather alike. This week I show you one such transitional yarn that blends linen, baby alpaca, and wool. It's called Soft Linen, and as I discovered, the name isn't an oxymoron.

Mexican president Vicente Fox didn't sign the May 05 2006
Mexican president Vicente Fox didn't sign the bill legalizing small quantities of drugs for personal use because of US pressure due to drug tourism fears. What I don't understand is...why not just make it legal for Mexican citizens to allay US fears? Besides, anyone who goes to Mexico for drugs can get them if they want anyway, law or no.

Prices began the year with a healthy increase of 15 percent over January 2012 and 8.3 percent above last year's total average price. The number sold was 12.5 percent less than last January, however. After showing surprising strength through the election season, it looks like weak snowfall is affecting our skier-buyers now.
The inventory has been stuck at about 1,470 since late December and lack of selection may be another reason for fewer sales to date.

Mountains to Molehills: 'Not true'
Published: Friday, July 18, 2014 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 16, 2014 at 5:28 p.m.
Stephen Jones of Hendersonville, reacting to Sharon Mills' thoughts on forming a more perfect union by creating more equality and inclusiveness for all citizens, says it is nice to learn she doesn't want to transform America. "Unfortunately," says Mr. Jones, "the man I bet she voted for, Barrack Obama, does. He said his intentions were just that before he was elected in 2008. It is interesting she would lecture us about the Constitution, in particular using the 10th Amendment, as an example of creating equality. That is code word in liberal circles for meaning sameness of outcome — minimum wage is one example — not sameness of opportunity. Would she and other liberals abide by this amendment and join us conservatives to reverse the federal takeover of things like health care and education? According to the 10th Amendment, both of these should have been left relegated to the states. I just learned today from FOX's Kelly File that many people convicted of terrorist acts are now teaching at American universities. Was this made possible because of the federal board of education? I do know that we have many college graduates who don't know the true history and greatness of America. Sharon claims that liberals are better educated and more compassionate than conservatives. Not true. Liberals are just differently educated and too often taught to blame America first for all of the world's problems. Maybe I'll try to explain what true compassion is in my next letter."
OOPS!: Duane Johnson of Hendersonville believes an error was made in recent comments a Mountains to Molehills reader made concerning deaths by firearms. "It was noted that there are 88 daily killings with firearms in the United States. It went on to say, 'That's a number greater than the daily total for several European nations ... .' I believe what this should have said is that it is a number greater than the annual total for several European nations," says Mr. Johnson.
QUIPS AN OLD-TIMER: "I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees and fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, and take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded and subject to blackouts. I have bouts with dementia. I have poor circulation and hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. I can't remember whether I'm 86 or 96. I have lost all my friends, but thank God I still have my driver's license."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Come on out to the Visitors Center at 201 S. Main St. in Hendersonville tonight for the Music On Main Street concert featuring Deano & The Dreamers playing favorite tunes from the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s. The Hendersonville Antique Car Club will be showcasing its vintage and antique cars. The car show will be in front of the Visitor Center, between Allen and Caswell streets, which will be closed to traffic. For more information about the club's classic car shows, call 697-8344. The Music On Main Street concert series will be held every Friday evening through Aug. 15. Bring a chair and enjoy the show. Admission is free. u Flat Rock Playhouse will present the Tony Award-winning classic farce "Boeing Boeing" through July 27 at The Flat Rock Playhouse Downtown. "Boeing Boeing" has charmed audiences at London's Apollo Theater and Times Square's Longacre Theatre since 1962. Performances will be Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m.; matinees Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. All tickets are $40 and can be purchased either by calling the Playhouse box office at 693-0731 or going online at flatrockplayhouse.org.

A concrete room, four feet wide, with a small window in the door.
We're describing a room where some misbehaving Columbia County school students are sent.
12 On Your Side's Ryan Duffy takes a closer look.
School administrators call these rooms "opportunity rooms", and they're used district-wide.
The one News 12 saw May 18 was concrete and wood, four by six, with a small window in the door.
The schools say it's just one option for dealing with misbehaving kids.
Jennifer Windham has had kids in Columbia County schools for three years.
But this week was the first time she saw an opportunity room while she was on a tour of her son's school, Westmont Elementary in Martinez.
"Looking at my coffee table, maybe a little bigger," Jennifer says. "Looked like solitary confinement, or a cellblock, very disturbing."
She says she was shocked to see a small bare room used for misbehaving students.
"Putting them in isolation is harmful, I think especially when it's not safe...two concrete walls they could hit their head on," Jennifer says.
Westmont principal Tami Flowers gave News 12 an up close look at the room.
She says the school built the four by six foot room this semester to "help" misbehaving students have a place where they can calm down.
"We call parents when we use the room, let them know every step of the way," Flowers says. Myself and my assistant monitor the room and the child the entire time."
To help see it and give another perspective we recreated a room with walls just four feet apart.
An adult wouldn't be able to extend their arms, or with the length, lay down. With a child it's not much better.
"It's really something that has been helpful for some children, rare cases," Flowers says.
"Are other parents aware of this?" Jennifer asks. "All I want is the room to be safe, if it's going to be used, and notify parents it's there."
Principal Flowers says the room has only been used four times this semester and always with the parents knowing about it first.
She says it's safe because it's always supervised and children aren't in there more than 15 minutes at a time.
The superintendent of Columbia County Schools, Tommy Price, tells News 12 that opportunity rooms are in fact in most of the county's 16 elementary schools.
He says the "behavior modification" rooms are safe and useful and that most parents are aware of them.

He highlighted the following: • AfriNIC now fully operational as an independent entity in Mauritius • Recruitment of a new CFO, Harish Gowrisunkur since March 2005 • Recruitment of a new Software engineer Mr. Frank Nnebe from 1 June • LIR Training in Maputo has been successful. There were 30 participants for the English language training and around 10 for the French language training • Registration database has been implemented. • Financial software, Pastel has now been implemented and is live. 2 - AfriNIC budget 2005 and 2004 account AA asked HG the new CFO to present the 2004 final accounts and the draft 2005 budget. He started by giving a position of what happened in 2004. He presented the financial highlights and these were: 2004 Actual Budget ============================================== Income $212,693 $226,400 Expenditure $100,798 $191,790 Surplus $111,895 $34,610 Capital Expenditure $9,389 $27,000 In 2004, AfriNIC managed to save more than $77,000 than it was budgeted. These savings were mainly due to the fact that there has been savings in costs of more than $90,000. This also due to the fact that Mr Adiel Akplogan did not take his CEO salary in 2004 from AfriNIC and is still paid as Project Manger from South Africa budget. The Mauritius budget should compensate Mr.Adiel Akplogan by the difference between the salary earned in SA and his contractual CEO Salary. 2.1 Budget 2005 HG presented the 2005 budget. He stated that AfriNIC needed to build sufficient reserves in order to be able to take the Operating Costs of the South African operations in 2007. The highlights of the budget were: 2005 Income $491,433 Members $410,433 Grants $81,000 Expenditure $360,908 Operating $222,525 HR $138,383 Surplus $130,525 Capital Expenditure $66,400 Motor Vehicle $40,000 Equipment $26,400 A five year forecast was presented to the board whereby it is noted that in 2007, AfriNIC will stop to receive funding from the South African government and a deficit estimated at $141,000 is expected. To compensate that, the surpluses retained as reserves in 2004 of $111,895 and in 2005 of $130,525 will be used to offset the 2007 operating deficit. Also a comparative report on 2004 budget has been presented following a request from some board membersto including the South Africa expenses. The report highlight is attached in the pdf file. KY has suggested that to have a better analysis of the situation in 2007 a business plan must be produced for South Africa operations taking in account all the possibilities of collocation of this part of AfriNIC activities. AL volunteers to help to working on the business plan. After deliberation, the budget was approved by the board to be submitted to the members. During the discussion on the budget the issue of AfriNIC tax status in Mauritius was raised. AfriNIC as not-for-profit Company should not be paying tax on incomes as these incomes are made from membership and are intend to be used for Internet development project in Africa. That has been one of the reasons why the board has chosen to register AfriNIC in Mauritius. APB has suggested a resolution to move AfriNIC from Mauritius if there is no way for AfriNIC as International not-for-profit Organisation operating for the whole continent to have some tax and advantage in the country. We must then look at other opportunity in other countries. It has also been suggested by some board members that AfriNIC staff has to provide the board regularly with detailed operational information. This suggestion has been considered by KY, and SF as unfeasible and unpractical as the board doesn't have an operational role but strategic. Operation task and control lied on the CEO and his staff. For strategic decision what the board need is a regular report on AfriNIC activities including financial status. The Financial committee has to draft a recommendation on how this information must be provided. 2.2 - A discussion has taken place on AfriNIC fees 2005 The fees for 2005 were presented by Harish Gowrisunkur. Alan Levin stated that small member fees were too high and these needed to be reduced. HG then showed a simulation of the impact reducing extra small fees from $1750 to $1500. This would result in a deficit for three years. Mr Kenneth Yip Tong remarked that deficit is not good for AfriNIC. According to AL, the proportion of increase for the other categories is not consistent considering the ration number of IP/$. He then suggest, to avoid complain from ARIN region member (specially from South Africa) that the upper membership category by readjust to show some consistency. His proposal was to raise the medium, large and extra large member fees as follows: • Medium to $6,500 • Large to $13,000 • Extra Large to $20,000 After discussion among the board, the above suggestion has been ratified. It has to be noted that AA expressed his reserve because this will mean an increase of more that 100% for Large and extra large members from RIPE region while this will not affect any member from ARIN Region as there is no LARGE and Extra Large members from ARIN region. On a proposal from AL to allow AfriNIC to have more affiliate members, the member only fees will be reduced from $400 to $100. After some discussion on the back slash of their proposal the board finally accepted it with an action item to define the level of voting right of the Members Only. 3 - Choice of AfriNIC region's 3rd representative in the NRO NC. AA explain the process for NRO NC (ASO AC) member selection according to the NRO MoU. From his explanation, 2 representatives must be elected by the community and one appointed by the board. After some discussions on the process and the difference between the NRO and ASO, it has been suggested that the board appoint one of its member as the third representative. SF nominates Alan Barrett for that position. PD move on the nomination and finally all the other board members approved it. 5) AfriNIC and the WSIS/WGIG discussion * IP address distribution * IPv6 national allocation/reservation proposal There was a discussion about AfriNIC participation in the WSIS/WGIG work. There are some sensitive discussions which impact AfriNIC as RIR, especially IP address management and IPv6 address plan. AA also reminds the board about the call for contribution he received from ATU on the African Common Position on the WSIS. He asked for volunteer to help him draft an answer. PD, AL and VP have volunteered to join the response committee which must send its response to ATU by April 29th. The board has been asked by the chairman (PD) tobe very attentive to the ongoing discussion in this area. 6) AfriNIC collaboration with other African Organisatin * AfNOG * AfTLD AA has informed the board about the request from AfNOG admin committee for a better cooperate with AfriNIC and to have a formal MoU for AfriNIC to commit a formal support to AfNOG activities. After some clarification given by APB, it has been decided that AfriNIC (trough APB) request AfNOG admin com to send a formal request to AfriNIC about which support is needed from AfriNIC and what will the basis of the MoU. AA say there is an open panel in the AfriNIC meeting agenda to discuss AfriNIC cooperation with other bodies. 7) AOB * AfriNIC-3: Location for AfriNIC 3 has been discussed and AA informedthat Egypt is willing to host the event. Dr. Kamel has agreed to host it and ensure the support of the Egyptian Government. The date has to be finalised. The proposed date is November 22nd to 24th. This has to be confirmed by the hosting entity. AA will follow up on that. Other items Some board members raised the issue of reimbursement of their expenses other than ticket and accommodation, incurred by their attendance to Board meeting. AfriNIC used to pay for board travel ticket in coach class and Accommodation. Some board member feels unfair that they are accommodated in 5 star hotel while their incidental are not been reimbursed. After some discussion on the subject it has been agree to apply AfriNIC policy to the matter. Board member will then be paid a per diem of 50 USD per day and for a maximum of 4 days. ============== Action items ============== Action item #200504-01 (FC) To give AfriNIC a guideline for submitting financial report to the board on periodic time basis. Action item #200504-02 (PD) To complete the CEO working contract evaluation including benefits and share it with the other board member for approval.

text: Something I find myself doing fairly often is drawing boxes around objects. I've been doing this by placing vertical and horizontal lines at the four minimum/maximum points, then connecting them. However, it's not always easy to tell exactly where the minimum X, maximum X, minimum Y, and maximum Y points are. I thought a script that draws a bounding box around a selected entity would be a useful addition. But I don't see any way to access the necessary information. Even if I have to cycle through the coordinates of all the selected points, that would be fine. I just don't see a way to get any information about anything that's already selected. Is there a way to do that?

Faulty electrical circuit causes house fire
Published: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 4:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 4:06 p.m.
The quick actions of an observant caretaker and the Valley Hill Fire & Rescue Department saved a vacant rental property on Ashley Lane in Hendersonville after an electrical fire ignited in the home's attic Tuesday morning.
Robert Eddington, the property's caretaker, arrived at the home at 9 a.m. to do yardwork but noticed the smell of something burning.
"I thought someone was burning trash," he said, until he looked up and saw smoke escaping from the eaves of the house. "It's not supposed to be steaming like that."
Eddington ran inside to shut off the home's power and called 911.
Valley Hill Fire Chief Tim Garren said smoke was surging out of both ends of the house when they arrived. The initial spark was believed to have ignited in the attic from a faulty electrical circuit.
Firefighters extinguished the fire in about five minutes, he said, saving the vacant home from significant smoke, fire or water damage.
"We're very lucky this happened in the daytime," Garren said, and that Eddington was there to see the smoke and call it in. "An attic fire can cause a lot of damage."
Aside from a hole cut into the house's roof and into the sheetrock inside, the house escaped with little damage. No one was living at the home at the time.
Blue Ridge Fire & Rescue, Mountain Home Fire Rescue and Henderson County EMS assisted Valley Hill.

Year of Graduation: 2009
Continuing Education: Music Therapy, Augsburg College
Please give a brief description of your graduate program and what it entails?
Augsburg College offers both two options for students who would like to become a music therapist. If you already have a bachelor's degree you can enter the equivalency program in which you complete the coursework you need to become a certified music therapist but do not receive a degree from Augsburg. The second option is to earn a second bachelor's degree in music therapy. The second option requires two extra classes but you have the option to receive greater financial aid. Depending on the college coursework you already have, it will take 2-3 years to complete the program at Augsburg. Music therapy students must complete a six-month internship once their coursework has been completed.
What path did you follow to arrive at your current goal?
During my sophomore year at St. Ben's, I decided I wanted to become a Child Life Specialist and maybe go to school to become a Music Therapist as well. I looked ahead at the courses that were required in various music therapy programs and decided to start taking them at St. Ben's. By doing this, I was able to cut out an extra year at Augsburg.
When senior year came around, I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I ended up applying for Child Life internships and grad school. It was very hectic, both auditioning for schools and conducting interviews but it all paid off in the end. I had a few different options and ended up completing my Child Life internship at Sanford Health in Fargo, ND the fall after I graduated. I then started on my music therapy degree. It is really tough to get a job in Child Life so that is what helped me decide to go back to school right away.
What advice/suggestions would you have for students who might be interested in your career?
Look into required coursework for Music Therapy early so that you might be able to fit some of these classes in while at CSB/SJU. Also, Music Therapy is currently moving in the direction of Occupational Therapy. In 2-5 years, a Master's degree will be considered entry level for the field and the Bachelor's degree will no longer exist. Most likely those people who have Bachelor's degrees will be "grandfathered" into the new system.
What skills are important in your field?
Music Therapists are creative musicians who want to use music to help people in some way. They have strong intuition and are able to cope with stressful situations. Music Therapists are also proficient in piano, guitar and voice. You will learn these instruments in school but it would be really helpful to start playing and singing before grad school.
What are the most challenging and satisfying parts of your work?
I get to play and sing music with clients for a job- it doesn't get much better than that! I'm able to create an experience that helps people cope with life situations. Music Therapists work with clients from the neonatal intensive care units to hospice. Music is a sort of universal language that accesses people across the lifespan.
The most challenging part of music therapy is self-care. It is easy to get burned out in a field that is growing so rapidly. I could be working 7 days a week with all the needs out there. It's important to set boundaries and do things to satisfy your own needs. Taking time to go for a walk or read a book is something that I try to do daily; it can affect your ability to help others if you don't have a strong foundation.
What activities/experiences were helpful at CSB/SJU (and elsewhere) in preparation for your current career?
I really liked one of the service learning projects I took part in at St. Benedict's Senior Center. I was able to help the music therapist with activities and continued to volunteer after my hours were over for class. I was able to see first hand what music therapy is all about. I'd suggest picking one volunteer opportunity and really getting involved. Those experiences will shape your perspective and can serve as really good resources down the road.

Alaska man runs onto frozen lake to avoid jail
Published: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 7:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 7:49 a.m.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Anchorage police say a young man who didn't want to return to jail ran out onto the uncertain ice of an Alaska lake to escape officers armed with an arrest warrant.
Police spokeswoman Dani Myren says officers were sufficiently concerned about the thickness of the ice covering Cheney lake that none of them wanted to venture onto it. So a standoff ensued.
KTUU-TV reports (http://is.gd/4WCBub ) that police negotiators and Fire Department dive teams were staging on the lakeshore when the young man finally surrendered late Thursday afternoon.
Myren says officers went to a home earlier in the afternoon to serve 19-year-old Siaosi Sila with a warrant alleging failure to comply with probation conditions. The spokeswoman says Sila saw police as he approached the home in a vehicle, bailed out and headed for the lake.
It wasn't immediately clear why he was on probation.

Reducing Re-admissions and Palliative Care Program UpdatesPrivilege of Self-Governance Requires Your VotePhysician Resource Center Construction to Begin Epic Improvements are Continuous Clinical Improvement Leader Will RetireMedical Cost Trend is Now Medical Value ProgramNew Online Safety Reporting System UnveiledClass of 2013 Comes in as UW Family Medicine Marks 40 YearsPharmacy Info: As Near as Your ComputerPhysician Spotlight: Conrad Andringa, MDHonors and Recognitions
The management of advanced chronic disease in our world of high technology and ever expanding interventions has become increasingly complicated. For the past several months, a very engaged interdisciplinary team, with participation from physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains and administrators, has been studying the state of palliative care (or, perhaps more accurately, advanced chronic disease management) in our system and across our continuum of care.
This interdisciplinary team has considered a multi-year process to improve the care that we provide in the hospital, in the clinics, in chronic-care facilities and in the homes of patients who have advanced chronic illnesses. We have defined palliative care as patient- and family-centered care, occurring throughout the continuum of their chronic illness that addresses their physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual needs facilitating patient autonomy, access to information and choice. The team is working with system leadership to develop a first phase of a palliative care program that would include the following:
1. A more effective, more understandable and more participative advanced care planning process so that the care we deliver has fully incorporated our patients' wishes
2. A multidisciplinary palliative care team at St. Mary's available to:
a. Provide a resource and consultation for patients and families to help articulate their desires for medical care
b. Consultative assistance in developing a plan of care for patients with difficult symptom management issues
c. An educational resource for medical staff, residents and clinical staff in the principles and delivery of effective palliative care
3. Incorporate effective linking of hospital-based palliative care to the outpatient clinic setting.
The team is very interested in knowing your thoughts and hearing your input about this effort. If you have comments or suggestions or wish to participate, please give me a call at 258-6178 or send me an email at email@example.com.
Privilege of Self-Governance Requires Your VoteGreat changes are afoot in medical staff self-governance, and the Bylaws Committee wants to be sure you understand them and participate as a member of the medical staff.
Dear Colleagues, We will be asking for your vote this fall on several changes to the Medical Staff Bylaws. As you know, these bylaws are your bylaws. One important tenant of the medical profession is the privilege and accountability of self-governance. The Board of Directors of St. Mary's Hospital (actually, of SSM Health Care of Wisconsin) delegates to the medical staff the accountability for its structure, professional performance, ethical conduct and delivery of the highest quality care achievable. Our bylaws are the mechanism by which we exercise this self-governance accountability. The bylaws must be reviewed and updated every two years in order to remain consistent with the expectations placed on our profession. The upcoming bylaws changes will 1) meet regulatory requirements, 2) provide updates that reflect changes in medical staff professional practice and 3) support our medical staff redesign. You recently received a letter outlining the changes, and several information sessions have been held on the topic. We on the Bylaws Committee remain available to discuss them as well. Please take the time to understand the changes and to exercise your obligation to vote for the appropriate changes to your bylaws.Medical Staff Bylaws Committee Al Musa, chairBrian Bachhuber, John Butler, Diana Choles, Kyle Martin, Brian Streeter, Jeff Welch, Paul Wertsch Physician Resource Center Construction to Begin A "one-stop shop" resource center for physicians is in the works, thanks to generous donor gifts to St. Mary's Foundation. A demolition event is slated this month for A South, the 8,000-square-foot wing that most recently housed Digestive Health and Project Beacon. A new Physician Resource Center, expected to be complete by January 2011, will include a physician lounge, dining and kitchen area, non-designated sleeping rooms, coat closet, locker and shower area, physician shared offices, hospitalist office and spaces for medical staff services, Continuing Medical Education (CME) and library services.Members of the design team include the following medical staff: Linda Siewert, Paul Huepenbecker, Santiago Hernandez, Al Musa, John Butler, and Lori Wendricks-House. The team gleaned input from a medical staff survey to determine the services and support for the space. Click here to view additional images.
The Medical Staff EHR Leadership Committee continues its work on the electronic health record in order to optimize Epic to support exceptional patient outcomes, patient safety and clinician efficiency. This committee is co-led by Dr. John Phelan and Annette Fox of the WIITTS-Epic team. Some of the accomplishments over the past quarter include working through the diagnosis requirement in patient orders to ensure CMS compliance; working in collaboration with a St. Mary's interdisciplinary team to improve the compliance rate of a physician order of patient status on 100% of patients admitted to St. Mary's. The new configuration allows the patient status order to populate all admission, pre-operative and post-operative ordersets, but to hide this order once a patient status has been entered. This improvement has allowed physicians to meet their regulatory obligation while preventing unnecessary repetition of this order once it has been completed.
The focus of the committee over the next quarter will be improving the usage and accuracy of the problem list activity, which will allow additional functionality to trigger alerts/orders associated with important performance metrics, patient safety interventions and greater efficiency for providers. Additionally a re-engineering of the discharge process will be undertaken in order to provide accurate and timely discharge medications/orders/treatments to patients and referring physicians. This process will accommodate the complexity of the growing multi-specialty, multi-disciplinary care provided to patients in the hospital.
Clinical Improvement Leader Will Retire
In 1999, Dr. Kosseff left his private practice as a Dean Clinic internist to join the SSMHC Quality Resource Center to design and implement clinical improvement initiatives across the system. He is credited with leading the charge to identify best safety and clinical practices and with helping to adapt and implement them in all SSM entities. As a Master TeamSTEPPS trainer, he has helped all SSM entities deploy teamwork training in at least one department. At St. Mary's, Dr. Kossef was a leader in patient safety and instrumental in leading the Madison Patient Safety Collaborative. Since last spring's "retirement" from St. Mary's, he continues to lead the CME committee, participate in a growing Grand Rounds program and lead TeamSTEPPS training on a part-time basis.

2013 Award In Excellence in Pharmacology/Toxicology
PhRMA Foundation recognizing past awardees that are making a difference
04.19.13 | By Preet Bilinski
Every year, the PhRMA Foundation grants Awards in Excellence to past awardees who are dramatic, living proof that the Foundation program works and makes a difference. These awards are given to scientists who received a Foundation grant at the outset of their careers and went on to distinguish themselves through their scientific and/or academic achievements. We had an opportunity to speak with this year's recipient of the Award in Excellence in Pharmacology/Toxicology, William B. Campbell, PhD.
Dr. Campbell's interest in science began in high school, thanks to an outstanding chemistry teacher that inspired him. That led to him working in the local pharmacy over the summer. The pharmacist was a family friend and he would discuss the drugs, how they act and their therapeutic uses. This ultimately affected Dr. Campbell's decision to go to pharmacy school at the University of Texas at Austin. There he became involved in the undergraduate research and found it be exciting, challenging and always posed new questions. As a result, he was hooked on the research and choose to continue on to graduate school.
He attended the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and was in the clinical pharmacology division of the Department of Pharmacology. The program was directed by William A. Pettinger, who was trained by Dr. John Oates, one of the fathers of clinical pharmacology in the US. Dr. Pettinger was supportive and encouraging, an insightful scientist and created an exciting environment for research. Additionally D. Craig Brater and Robert M. Graham were other assistant professors in the division. Dr. Brater is now the Dean of the College of Medicine at IUPUI and Dr. Graham is the director of the Chang Cardiovascular Institute in Sydney, Australia. Dr. Campbell was fortunate to be in the company of such colleagues, who have had outstanding research and administrative careers in their own right. Their division at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School was involved in translational research 30 years before it was the trend.
In his first year on the faculty, he applied for a PhRMA starter grant. That was the first grant he received and it provided flexible funds that could be used to buy key pieces of equipment and to purchase needed supplies. This was critical in establishing a research program and a clear and focused research direction. The award provided him two years of support, that provided data that was leveraged the following year for his first NIH grant.
"The jump start to my research from PhRMA, is greatly appreciated." said Dr. Campbell. "The Award provided funding at a critical time when I was just starting out as an assistant professor. It provided data for an independent research article as well as key data for my first NIH grant and an NIH Research Career Development Award. I have been continuously funded by NIH ever since, 34 years and counting."
There are also some aspects of the early PhRMA grant that are not related to the money. It is important to have your research ideas reviewed by an independent group of experts and determined to be of merit. This builds confidence early in a career and is a major source of encouragement, Dr. Campbell tell us.
The starter awards were important to developing the careers of pharmacologists/toxicologists in the 1970s but are more important today. Research support from NIH is at the lowest point. We cannot afford to lose the next generation of scientists, pharmacologists and toxicologists. Universities, the pharmaceutical industry, patients and the U.S. need these scientists to provide new insights into disease and find new therapeutic agents. The PhRMA grants play a more critical role in developing careers today than ever before.
"The PhRMA Foundation is proud of Dr. Campbell's many accomplishments including his more than three decades of continuous support from NIH. He has guided numerous graduate students over the years and continues to educate the next generation of scientists, we view him as an ideal recipient of our most prestigious award." said Eileen Cannon, the Executive Director of the PhRMA Foundation. "The Foundation is proud to have been of assistance to him at the beginning of his outstanding career. He exemplifies the very best in his field. What he has achieved makes it easier to appreciate the importance of providing the same kind of support to those who follow in his footsteps."

Published: Friday, July 26, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.

Glens' psychiatric residency begins
The American Osteopathic Association has approved the LECOM/Manatee Glens Hospital Psychiatry Residency program, the first private, non-profit psychiatric hospital to have its own medical residency program and one of only seven such Osteopathic programs in the country.
The first three residents will begin in the summer of 2014 and will stay for four years. Manatee Glens will add residents each year until there are 12 total, according to a statement.
"Florida is in dire need of more psychiatrists. We know that physicians are likely to stay in the community where they train," Manatee Glens president/CEO Mary Ruiz said. "These physicians will also alleviate some of the current demand for more mental health and addictions help and enable Manatee Glens to serve more people."
Manatee Glens now trains post-doctoral graduates, interns and those in rotations in nursing, social work, pharmacy, occupational therapy, case management and physician assistants.
Longboat resort has 30th 4 Diamond
For the 30th consecutive year, the Resort at Longboat Key Club received the AAA Four-Diamond Award.
The resort first received the award in 1983, one year after it opened. It is one of only six hotels in Florida to have received this award for 30 or more consecutive years, according to a written statement from the resort.
Florida has 132 AAA Four-Diamond lodgings, second in the U.S. behind California's 180.
The award is based on the work of professionally trained inspectors who use published guidelines to conduct unannounced hotel and restaurant evaluations.
"We are thrilled to achieve this outstanding milestone of 30 consecutive years as an AAA Four-Diamond Resort," said Jeff Mayers, the resort's general manager.
RE/MAX Platinum goes international
RE/MAX Platinum Realty has begun an international department to bring international real estate buyers to the Sarasota-Bradenton area by leveraging the global RE/MAX brand and the RE/MAX broker network in more than 85 countries.
The department works closely with the new Global New Homes Division, which markets builder and developer properties internationally through the RE/MAX broker network, international trade shows and active company sales efforts, according to a statement.
Broker-owner Bryan Guentner said the international department was begun in the summer because it is the season for international tourists. "Many people who come here on vacation from other countries are looking for second homes in Florida," he said.
The department was formed with the help of RE/MAX Platinum Realty agents, many of whom are natives of foreign countries.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Chris Mautner
If I had $15, I'd get Remake 3xtra, the latest comic in Lamar Abrams' occasional superhero/manga satire. I'd also get Batman Inc. #5 to get another glimpse into the Gotham City of the future, where Damian has taken on his father's superhero role.
If I had $30, I'd check out Dante's Inferno, Kevin Jackson and Hunt Emerson's adaptation of the classic poem. The British Emerson has been around since the days of the underground, but he hasn't gotten much attention, at least on these shores, which seems odd given what a funny and facile cartoonist he is. He tends to fire on all cylinders when riffing on classic literature, too, so I imagine this will be a pretty great book.
Splurge: I don't own the hardcover edition, so the new paperback collection of the Complete Calvin and Hobbes seems like a no-brainer to me. On the other hand, Humanoids is releasing the Technopriests Supreme Collection, an omnibus, epic sci-fi story that is yet another spin off of Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius' Incal. This particular series features art by Zoran Janjetov.

Green Your Family: A 5-Step Plan to Success
Was "go green" one of your New Year's resolutions? Even if your composter is still empty and there are chemical cleaners still lurking in your cabinets, don't fret — Only 12 percent of those who make New Year's resolutions actually keep them for a year. Which, frankly, is 12 percent more than I would have guessed. But if you're like me and the other 88 percent, what can help us keep resolutions is the support of others.
With that in mind, this Earth Day I'm enlisting my family in the greening goals I set for 2011. And by "greening" (aren't we all just getting sick to death of that word?), I mean treading more lightly on my wallet, my Daytimer, my blood pressure and Mother Earth. Surely THAT's a resolution worth fighting for!

A Houma man admitted Thursday to sexually abusing a 4-year-old in Terrebonne Parish, the Sheriff's Office said.
The Sheriff's Office reported two different addresses where Christopher Prosperie resided. The Courier and Daily Comet initially reported the wrong one. The correct address is 213 Southland Circle Apartments.
The girl's mother reported Feb. 5 that Christopher Warren Prosperie, 48, 213 Southland Circle Apartments, abused her daughter a few weeks prior to her filing the report, Terrebonne detectives said.
Prosperie met with detectives Thursday and admitted to being alone with the girl once and committing indecent acts, the Sheriff's Office said.
Prosperie is a family member of the alleged victim by marriage, detectives said.
He is charged with aggravated rape and is in the Terrebonne Parish Jail with no bond.

A First Look at 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron'
At the Marvel Entertainment panel, it was all about showing and not much telling.
The largest reveal came at the end of the panel, when Joss Whedon, the director of "The Avengers" and the creator of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." came on stage at the behest of Kevin Feige, the President of Production at Marvel Studios, to introduce the first look of "The Avengers: Age of Ultron," the sequel to "The Avengers." (It has grossed $1.5 billion worldwide.)
Not Chris Evans as Captain America nor Tom Hiddleston, dressed in full Loki attire, were able to achieve the level of absolute hysteria brought on by the words, "Age of Ultron," as they appeared onscreen against the red Marvel backdrop.
In the clip we heard voiceovers from various characters as we looked at an image of a helmet with cracks in it. In the comics, Ultron is an ever-changing, adaptive artificial intelligence with villainous intentions.
While promoting "Much Ado About Nothing," a film produced, financed and shot by Whedon and his wife Kai Cole, in their home, Whedon told the Journal about the difficulties he was experiencing while writing the sequel to "The Avengers."
"The title almost always comes last," Whedon said. "But it can't this time."
A significant part of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" cast flew in from London, where they are shooting the film, to attend the panel. Djimon Hounsou, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldana were just a few stars in attendance.
"I've been blue once, why not try green," Saldana said of her character, Gamora.
An extended look of the film showed a very chiseled yet still comedic Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, and his motley crew being booked by Rhomann Dey, played by John C. Reilly.
Several minutes of both "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Thor: The Dark World" were also screened, although the "Thor" cast did not attend the panel.
In addition to Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Emily VanCamp and Sebastian Stan turned up to talk about "Captain America: The Winter Soldier."
"The Winter Solider/Bucky Barnes [Stan] is pretty close to [Ed] Brubaker's. The Captain's conflict is he doesn't see it coming," referring to the fact that Bucky and the Winter Solider are the same person, Feige said.
Actor Anthony Mackie will play The Falcon/Sam Wilson in the film.
"You have wings and guns. When you go to the grocery store," what else do you need besides wings and guns, Mackie asked of the crowd.
It was also revealed that Robert Redford will play Alexander Pierce.
"The movie is really based on 1970s political thrillers and Robert Redford has starred in so many of them," said Anthony and Joe Russo, the co-directors of the film. "It comes full circle."

It's a point of wonder and curiosity for most people who walk into the Keystone Lodge and Spa, general manager Luke Slottow said.
He tried to pick out the new additions to Keystone executive pastry chef Ned Archibald's chocolate village, which is now earning attention from visitors and locals in the lodge's lobby.
The more than 7,000 pounds of chocolate includes a mountain scene - complete with two trains running along their tracks through the chocolate hillsides and tunnels, as well as two gondola cars chugging up and down the mountainside, and a chocolate waterfall - as well as a Norman Rockwell-style Christmas tree and presents, complete with a solid chocolate rocking horse.
"That's Ned's touch right there - the Patriots' (foot)ball," one onlooker said.
Archibald said he got grief last year when the New England Patriots' ball was the only one under the tree. Between that and the Denver Broncos current record, he decided to bring back the Broncos' ball.
Other new items include a treasure chest, which was created to complement the Kidtopia theme this year, ducks that mimic the rubber ducks from the Summit Foundation's Duck Race fundraiser, a Hello Kitty duplicate, and more. A solid chocolate sits under the tree that weighs about 70 pounds. The footballs each weight about 15 pounds, maybe more.
Giant nutcrackers stand alongside the turning white-chocolate Christmas tree, originally named Max and Edna Dercum in tribute to some of Keystone's founders. Now, they're named Bill and Jane, for fellow originators Bill and Jane Bergman.
Most of what sits there is solid chocolate, Archibald said, including the presents, which are "rewrapped" each year with new "paper."
Because it comes in and out of storage, Archibald's chocolate village has grown since its "humble beginnings" 17 years ago. It was a standalone 8-foot by 4-foot village in its original state, which back then was a mix of gingerbread and chocolate.
Since then, Archibald has grown it as well as converted it entirely to chocolate.
He realized he needed to take his unique skill to the next level when he went to San Francisco and marveled at all the gingerbread displays - but was somewhat bored after awhile.
"I wanted to separate myself from the gingerbread," he said. "I have a talent that a lot of those chefs don't have, so why not use it?"
He added, "Chocolate gets a reaction from people that gingerbread just doesn't solicit ... it gets an 'ooh' and 'aah.'"
The chocolate comes in and out of storage, and due to how cocoa butter reacts with the air over time, must be refurbished each year. Archibald and his six staffers arrive at Keystone Lodge and Spa at 3 a.m. the day the village goes up. They used to work all night to create the magic of the village arriving overnight for guests, but Archibald doesn't make that requirement of employees any longer.
The crew uses a low-heat blowtorch to re-heat the chocolate and help the cocoa butter take its original, rich-in-color form once again. They load a Wagner paint sprayer with "snow" to decorate the hillsides. And so on. It helps that Colorado is the ideal climate for creating a chocolate village. Temperatures and the dry air help the chocolate keep through the holidays.
"Some people come and sit in the chairs and watch it every day," Archibald said of the completed village, explaining why he includes the moving pieces. He added that, even though the village comes out of storage each year, a lot of work goes into getting it set up and looking as spectacular as it did on Day 1.
Archibald completes the display with a chocolate sign that lists frequently asked questions as well as a sign that pays tribute to the folks who put in most of the work through the years.
Children and adults alike can enjoy one thing that changes each day - the countdown until Christmas day.

Truth is, they're owed much more than that. And, no, not just because their land was stolen from them before and after white settlers killed off 98% of their population. We owe them money due to a deal that was made when the US used their land (it was their land legally) for the sake of oil and raw materials. The deal was that they would pay the Indians part of the profits that were made off of their land, and for a great deal of time that did not happen. During this 13 year long class action suit, documents were actually DESTROYED in an effort to screw the Indians of money that was owed to them.
It's nice that this is being settled. Maybe nice isn't the right word...maybe I should say "neat." It's pretty neat. It's so neat and nice how it breaks down to about $1000 being paid to each person who stands to make money from this settlement.

Hate crimes alleged at party
Published: Monday, July 8, 2013 at 10:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 8, 2013 at 10:22 p.m.
A Thibodaux resident robbed and punched people while yelling racial epithets at a party Saturday night, Thibodaux Police said.
Demond Johnson, 29, of 616 St. Charles St., was at a get-together about 10 p.m. in the 100 block of St. Patrick's Street when he stole someone's cellphone and began yelling racial slurs when the owner asked for it back, police spokesman David Melancon said. He then allegedly punched another person walking by, knocking him unconscious.
He also used racially charged language on the dance floor, allegedly asking other party-goers why they rented the facility from Caucasians.
He was charged with simple robbery, second-degree battery and hate crimes. He was taken to the Lafourche Parish jail and is being held on a $35,000 bond.
