LIVERMORE -- A 4-year-old boy who briefly wandered from his mother's view drowned Thursday afternoon in the family swimming pool, police said.
Officers responded to a 911 call in the 1400 block of Heidelberg Drive at 12:49 p.m. from a mother who reported that she had found her child at the bottom of her backyard swimming pool, Livermore police Officer Steve Goard said.
The woman pulled the boy from the pool and moved him to a poolside deck, and was on the phone with dispatchers who were helping her through CPR efforts when police arrived, Goard said. Emergency responders found the boy with no pulse and attempted CPR at the scene, then took the boy to ValleyCare Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
According to Goard, the child had not been out of his mother's line of sight more than a minute or two. The woman was also said to have had another young child home at the time of the incident, and that both kids were very active.
"It's just one of those horrible events," Goard said. "It's just horrible all around. This was clearly an accident. It's just sad."
Drownings are the leading cause of injury death to children between ages 1 and 4, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. From 2007 to 2009, an annual average of 390 pool- or spa-related drownings of children younger than 15 occurred, about 75 percent of which involved children younger than 5.

Some friend, yes.And I'm bored of continually writing about the same thingsas if it was all I thought aboutwhen there are a million desires I feel on a daily basis more important and, indeed, poetic than how I feel about you and Ithough I struggle to put those into words and, over the years,I think I am working towards developing a single unified statement regarding the whole mess;I guess you will concur that those about you are better than those about her, no?Oh but I guess hers were written in a time when I was more innocent with my emotions...but, you must remember that I was also much more self conscious thenand I think I was struggling with a lot of things that I preferred not to address and instead stuck with the'I have loved and I have lost' approach to explain everythingwhen in reality I don't think it was love and in the long run the lost was for the best;she was kind enough to give herself to me absolutely but she had not that much going on that did not relate solely to her and she could justify any of her actions based on her claim that I hated myselfwhich was not 100% true but, needless to say, I had the last laugh...do you mind that my thoughts about you become eulogies to her?But anyway I hope this finds you well and remember thatI never mean anything I do or say and I am equally confusedby whatever comes out of my mouth and wipe the sweat from your forehead and forget I ever called because you're staying thereand I will be here and everything will remain static until February I think, though they've closed down my favourite barand I assume Thursday nights aren't as funStop sobbing. You've lost me. Your story is fractured and self-contradictory. I think your hair is beautiful. Yes it was me but I was working as part of a team. No one was hurt. It's on my wall, though you can see the guilt in my eyes in the photograph. Goodbye.Disclaimer: All opinions stated and allegations made in the preceeding do not represent the view of Evan Torrie, the Moderators or the TW Message Board as a whole
Based on these, I think I write a lot better when I'm either in love or have something recent to cry about.So, if any of you ladies want to come and seduce me then leave without saying goodbye then, please, go ahead.Also, reading these, I really miss beatled.It's a celebration!
If I showed you my lips as a faltering fist,Would that hit you harder than words?Divide from me; merciful, swift; don't persist To section me off into thirdsI've known one astride of misguided perceptionsYou've thrown one aside for your grindI've grown one inside of the murky conceptionsYou've sewn out in your own designWill I suckle, eternal, vermiculate minds?How'd derangement become such a charmer?You may think you've pulled off some immaculate crimeBut, I see through the chinks in your armorI love you, but there's such a lot not to loveIt gets hard not to treat you like familyWhen, I've lost my innocence; you, your kid glovesYou removed them to better examine me Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in bootsAnd ruined your black-tie affair
I was going through my old stuff and I found this one piece of garbage that I fancied as a fair piece of prose five months ago. So, I took the parts I liked (like, three words) and tried to make something better.When darkness replaces Your glittering traces With faces, so hollow in malcontent When I sleep in the sun Where there's room for just one Where the cold and the space aren't so prominent It's easy to spite the once startling sight Of an aubergine hand pinned in buttery white To forget that there ever was warm, Summer light Cast upon life and limb Even, cast upon night Emblazoning footfalls of angels on cheeks Drawing out lines to get lost in for weeks We met in a most perfect phase of dichotomy We sought for to mutually raise dulcet harmony With alien glow, you were haloed in sweat And, ossein splinters rose from your silhouette As they merged into mine, I'm quite sure that I wept For a sweet, fleeting oneness that couldn't be kept Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in bootsAnd ruined your black-tie affair
This is the first time I've decided to take on this subject matter. The task seemed somewhat daunting, but I felt I owed it to myself to put my muddled insights through the creative crucible and see which thoughts stuck. I'll still pause for a vestige of my ancient faithChurch bells on dark mornings, with damp cigarettesAs my Brothers and Sisters smoke, dry, with their WraithsWhere the sun burns as red as their steel bayonetsWhile false Gods gorge themselves in their rivers of soma,And, lulling, they purr their nepenthe-laiden anthems,We hear planes, We hear trains, over, under this comaAnd, We wake, soaked in fears, knowing no one could man themTo deny We're still good, fall so far from Our graces,Is a crime against You; those We strive to rememberBut, We can't see two inches in front of Our facesPast the smoke and the noise and the snow in SeptemberChoking life, the smoke spreads, but won't get any lighter,Over all of god's Children; too tired to fussIn our bootless pursuit of a great, ruthless leaderWe forgot that the only great leader is Us edit: I'd really appreciate some feedback on this. I changed it a bit. I like the concept behind the capitalization and lack thereof, but I'm not sure if it's overkill, because, well, I can't gauge how effectively my own thoughts are coming across. Any response is appreciated. Climb into my arms.. With blood on your clothes.. You've got a glow...

Location: Invasive Plant Research Laboratory
Project Number: 6032-22000-011-57
Start Date: Oct 22, 2013
End Date: May 06, 2014
Field surveys will be conducted throughout the course of this study. Individual waterhyacinth and waterlettuce plants will be examined in the field using visual inspection, dissection, and processing in portable berlese funnels. All collection locations will be GPS referenced. Candidate insects will be transported to the laboratory for identification, vouchering, and colonization. All voucher specimens will be preserved via pinning or storage in 70% and 100% alcohol for morphological and molecular analysis, respectively, and identified to their taxonomic limits by recognized authorities. Preliminary host range evaluations will be conducted using free- and no-choice testing methods on taxonomically related plant species. Determination of host range will be accomplished by forcing prospective agents to feed, complete development, and reproduce on test plants. Some of this work will be done in more realistic outdoor garden plots settings to reduce artifacts and confirm laboratory-based designs. The most promising agents will then be sent to the Ft. Lauderdale quarantine facility for more intensive testing. All shipments to the U.S. will conform to USDA-APHIS regulations. The results of foreign surveys and initial host range testing will be reported in scientific publications and meetings.

Bleeding complications following tonsil surgery are rare at hospitals across the state -- and rarer still at Children's Hospital Oakland, where the medical procedure that left 13-year-old Jahi McMath brain-dead has sparked debate about pediatric hospital care and the risk of tonsillectomies.
Five years of surgery records for the Oakland facility collected by the state show that about 1.4 percent of hospitalized tonsillectomy patients bled following the common procedure. That is below the state average for such complications, according to statewide hospital data requested and examined by Bay Area News Group. Bleed rates for outpatient procedures, considered less serious and where patients do not spend the night, were even lower -- only one instance in 3,100 tonsillectomies performed from 2008 to 2012.
On Dec. 9, Jahi underwent what the Oakland hospital called a "complicated" surgery, involving not just a tonsillectomy but the removal of other throat and nose tissue to treat the 13-year-old's severe sleep apnea. She started bleeding shortly after surgery, eventually going into cardiac arrest and losing total brain function, according to multiple doctor examinations.
Jahi's family thinks the hospital should have done more, and the state Department of Public Health launched an investigation after her mother asserted in court documents and interviews that nurses in the pediatric intensive care unit told her the hemorrhaging was "normal" and left it up to her and Jahi's grandmother to control it. The hospital has said little regarding what may have happened after Jahi's surgery, citing patient confidentiality laws.
Christopher Dolan, the family's attorney, has said a medical malpractice suit is expected, but he declined to comment for this story.
What is clear from the review of state data is that bleeding after tonsillectomy surgeries -- the most common and serious complication -- happens only in a small number of cases.
There were 12,602 inpatient procedures in hospitals statewide from 2008 to 2012, with 1.67 percent experiencing hemorrhaging, according to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, which keeps records of surgery outcomes for 444 facilities across California. The agency provided data to this newspaper specifically geared toward the procedure highlighted by Jahi's tragedy.
Outpatient tonsillectomy bleed rates were 0.15 percent for the 120,349 procedures performed over the five-year span.
State records classify a hemorrhage as any bleeding, whether minor or severe. The agency collecting the data stressed that its numbers only show if a patient receives the surgery and what the disposition was, for example death or bleeding. The data does not necessarily establish that the surgery caused the end result. The agency does not have 2013 results available.
Nationwide, tonsillectomies are performed more than 500,000 times a year on children, largely for sleep apnea, and the number of such surgeries is on the rise, according to medical reports. They are the most common procedure performed on youngsters under general anesthesia; however, the procedures have been debated in medical circles since the time that they were done mostly for repeated throat infections.
The Oakland facility tucked up against Highway 24 with a "One Team, One Goal: 100% Healthy" banner visible to commuters has performed the fourth-most inpatient tonsillectomies in the state over the five years, according to the state data. Dr. David Durand, chief medical officer, said hospitals that treat a lot of children perform a large number of tonsil surgeries and gain expertise, and he's satisfied with the state numbers.
"We are proud of the fact that our (bleeding) rate for tonsillectomies is below the state average," he said in an emailed statement to this newspaper. "As with all surgical procedures, parents need to speak with their child's pediatrician and surgeon before consenting to a tonsillectomy so they understand the indications for the procedure, as well as the anticipated outcome and possible complications."
Children's Hospital Oakland had lower bleed rates than Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, the only similar pediatric-only facility in the Bay Area recorded by the state. Packard experienced postoperative bleeding in 3.47 percent of inpatient cases and 0.23 percent of outpatient cases.
Out of more than 130,000 tonsil surgeries performed statewide over the five-year period, 12 patients died, including one at Children's Hospital Oakland in 2008, according to state data. The East Bay hospital said it could not find confirmation of that fatality in its records.
Dr. Reginald Baugh, professor and chief of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Toledo and a leading expert on tonsil surgery, said he would have no concern about sending his own child to the Oakland hospital.
"I would feel very comfortable at Children's Hospital Oakland. There's nothing in those numbers that says there's any problem," he said.
However, Baugh, who led a nationwide committee of physicians that produced first-of-its-kind tonsillectomy guidelines in 2011, cautioned that the state numbers only reveal so much.
"For the most part, those numbers don't have a lot of relevance as far as the quality of care," he said.
For example, the statistics do not break down each individual surgeon's bleed rates and do not include other possible postoperative complications. Specialty hospitals such as Children's Hospital Oakland also receive the tougher cases, which can inflate their rate, Baugh said.
In addition, he said, post-tonsillectomy bleeding has not necessarily been linked to poor medical procedures.
"The cause of secondary bleeding is unclear and presumably occurs without specific provocation and therefore cannot be prevented," he said.
Inpatient tonsillectomies carry a higher risk because they may be combined with other procedures, as in Jahi's case, and may involve patients with additional health issues. For instance, Baugh said, a very young child, or one with a pre-existing medical condition, such as diabetes or asthma, usually is treated on an inpatient basis.
When Baugh was a medical student, a tonsillectomy required a minimum three-day hospital stay. As his career progressed, the admission time dropped to a one-day stay; by the late 1980s, it was eight hours -- and now it's less than two hours on average, he said.
"The operation has never changed, the patients haven't changed. What has changed is the insurance companies and what they're willing to pay," he said.
A 2011 recommendation in the American Academy of Otolaryngology guidelines report is for individual doctors to annually monitor their bleed rates.
"The purpose of this statement is to encourage self-assessment by clinicians who perform tonsillectomy to determine how their personal rate of hemorrhage compares with expected rates based on audit data and published reports," the report stated.
Durand did not specify if Children's Hospital Oakland surgeons follow this guideline, but he said: "We carefully monitor the outcomes of our tonsillectomy patients, as we monitor the outcomes of all surgical procedures."

Location: Application Technology Research Unit
Project Number: 5082-21000-014-03
Start Date: Aug 10, 2011
End Date: Aug 09, 2013
The experiment will be a 2 (CRFs) x 2 (taxa) factorial in a randomized complete block design with four replications and ten plants per replication. Broadleaf evergreen and deciduous shrub liners will be potted in summer (July-August). Both taxa will have either Osmocote (resin -coated) or Polyon (plastic-coated) CRFs. All plants will be potted in a industry representative substrate and receive additional micro-irrigation when there is not adequate rainfall. The experiment will be initiated with established plants in September and be completed in March. Plant, CRF, and substrate nitrogen and phosphorus content will be determined at both the beginning and end of the study to determine CRF release and plant uptake through the winter in mild climates. In addition, effluent nitrogen and phosphorus concentration will be monitored weekly. This data will be used to determine environmental impact of CRF's. Substrate temperature, air temperature, and rainfall will be recorded hourly throughout the course of the experiment. All variables in the study will be tested for differences using ANOVA Fishers Least Significance Difference means separation where appropriate.

Republican Delbert Hosemann's local fans ate breakfast as they awaited the first term secretary's arrival at Jean's Restaurant in Meridian.
Newscenter 11 asked a few of his supporters to tell us what they like about the current Mississippi secretary of state. Many said they enjoy talking about his commercials more than they like talking about his politics.
"It's really cute. The little old lady calling him Dilbert and Delbure and all kind of funny names," said Caroline Crawford of Meridian. "It's catchy and I think it is going to help him a lot."
Aside from creating catchy ads, Hosemann says he has been working hard in the office for the past four years. While visiting in Meridian he spoke of his work on promoting fair elections, creating jobs, and strengthening the financial future of the state.
"I have cut the budget by over $2 million," said Hosemann. "Every year I have decreased the budget out of my office. I am watching the taxpayers' dollars."
Hosemann is currently the only one so far who has qualified to run in the secretary of state's race. The deadline to qualify is Mar. 1.
"I've been telling everybody it's April the 2nd so maybe they'll miss it," joked Hosemann. "No but really, I am pleased we haven't had another opponent yet. But I have to anticipate there would be one. There are people who don't believe in voter I.D. or don't believe in managing children's land and fair values. "There has been some legislation on that recently. There are people with ideas different than my own; I just think ours are better."

Spring Break is coming up fast – do YOU have plans? Spring Break is usually hyped up to make you think you have to go somewhere fancy and exotic, but since most of us are frugal college students living on budgets, sometimes that trip to Cancun just isn't feasible. Don't fret! Here are five affordable options that will provide you some fun, and save you some money.
1. Beach House
Spend a few days lying in the sun, hitting the waves, and hosting delicious barbecues. Spend a day or two checking out the shops in town, or even rent a boat to go whale watching.
2. Road Trip
Break out the map and see if there are any cities nearby you're interested in checking out. Take a dip in a hot spring, learn to ski or snowboard, or take a wild lesson in skydiving, glassblowing, or some other funky hobby. There are bound to be a few inexpensive hotels, or you can couch-surf with family and friends; just think of the stories you'll return home with.
3. City Tour
How many of the restaurants and recreational sites have you actually been to in your own town? Take this break as an opportunity to tour your own city, making it a rule to only eat, shop, and hang out at those places you haven't been to.
4. Camping
Another affordable option, all you have to do is grab your gear, pick a location, and head out! By the beach, by the lake, in the middle of nowhere in the woods – wherever you go, it'll be nice to just relax with friends and goof off. Don't want to sleep in a tent? See if a log cabin is available!
5. Volunteer (ASB)
Do something different this year and plan an alternative Spring Break! Place like the American Hiking Society, Habitat for Humanity, and United Way are accepting volunteers for different projects over Spring Break. Not only will you see a new place, but you'll get some great experience, and you'll have something to list on your resume.
Planning on flying somewhere for vacation? Check out StudentUniverse for some great student discounts on flights! And check out this Spring Break Travel Guide for more advice and tips.

got it - if anyone has problems with M4A metadata just update to the nightly build
does anyone else have this problem? I added all my iTunes folder to Cog and all songs appear on the list, but only MP3s show metadata, AAC songs just show the file name and no title, atist, or anything else like 04 Mentira.m4a. does COG not support AAC metadata or what? I currently use Play instead of Cog because of this, but i'd like to get Cog to work too because it's nice. also, anybody knows if Cog and Play will be merged or something? that'd be cool!
Like a perfected version of Winamp for Mac OSX. I love it. Perfect compliment to iTunes when I need a slim music player to skim through an unzipped folder of music I found online.
Useful when you want to listen to audio files recorded in a format that is not supported by iTunes.
minimalist, simple. great software!
For those who don't like the factory icon, there a nice one here:
The Pure icons set can be downloaded here:
(clic on 'icons' on the right)
for anyone experiencing issues with Cog 0.07, there is a final bug fix release (for both tiger and leopard) which can be downloaded from here; http://cogx.org/unstable_builds/Cog-r717.tbz
If you don't like the way Itunes handles files for you, then Cog is the solution. I love cog - it's simple and it just works.
There's an interesting discussion about audio players for Mac OS X on hydrogenaudio.

Jim Barber, the president of UPS International, was the keynote speaker at the Discover Global Markets conference (sponsored by the U.S. Commercial Service of the Department of Commerce) on June 3 in Los Angeles. Barber's remarks focused on ways to overcome obstacles that often stand in the way of small- to mid-sized businesses that want to grow their companies through exporting.
Barber cited a local company, Medelita, which makes professional-grade lab coats for the healthcare industry, as an example of companies that are often frustrated by the tariffs, customs regulations and documentation requirements when trying to export. Read More »

Obama Iraq Policy Draws Questions From Foes, Allies
Republican critics of President Barack Obama lambasted the administration's policy of targeted military strikes in Iraq, saying they were a feeble response to an Islamic militant force that appears to pose a direct threat to the U.S.
"They want to destroy us," Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) said Sunday of the militant group Islamic State, speaking on CNN's "State of the Union." "They are getting stronger all the time."
Mr. McCain, the GOP presidential nominee who was defeated by Mr. Obama in 2008, is among Republican national security hawks who have criticized the administration's military and humanitarian action in Iraq as too little too late, in the face of the rapid advance of the militants.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), a congressional ally Mr. McCain, echoed the message on Fox "Fox News Sunday," adding he believed the president erred in his decision not to intervene in Syria, where the militant group gained arms and training from the civil war there.
"This commander-in-chief has no strategy, he has no vision," Mr. Graham said.
Asked on Saturday whether the U.S. had underestimated Islamic State's strength, Mr. Obama said the group's advance had clearly been more rapid than expected by intelligence agencies and policy makers. But he blamed that on Iraqi forces' inability to hold firm when operating outside Baghdad and on political leaders' to form an inclusive government that can unite the country.
Support for the Obama policy was shaky even in some quarters at the top of his own party's hierarchy. Sen. Richard Durbin (D., Ill.), the No. 2 Democratic leader in the Senate, speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press" was lukewarm and said it would be a real "challenge" if Mr. Obama went beyond his promise that the military action would be limited.
"Escalation is not in the cards," Mr. Durbin said.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in an interview with the Atlantic, traced the rise of the Islamic State group to Syria, where she faulted the administration's decision to override her recommendation to more aggressively aid moderate rebels fighting against the country's regime.
"The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad—there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle—the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled," said Mrs. Clinton, a likely Democratic presidential contender in 2016.
Mr. McCain said that the president should go far beyond the stated U.S. mission of providing humanitarian aid to religious minorities who have been stranded on a mountain by militants and of air strikes limited to the mission of protecting the minorities and U.S. personnel.
He stopped short of supporting the use of U.S. ground troops, but recommended more training and equipment for forces in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq, newly threatened by the advance of the militants.
Mr. McCain also said the U.S. should launch airstrikes against the Islamic State militants in Syria as well as Iraq, a step the Obama administration has rejected in the past.
Mr. McCain also argued that the U.S. should not hold back action, as the administration seems to be doing, until after Iraq finishes its current process of forming a new government.
Countering the GOP criticism, Sen. Ben Cardin (D., Md.) said that the president's hands are tied by the fractured Iraqi government and by an American population that does not want to send troops back into Iraq.
"There is not a U.S. military solution to this issue," he said. "We're protecting U.S. interests as far as the safety of U.S. personnel. That's our limited mission, but we're not going to use our military to take care of what the Iraqi military should be taking care of."

It's always nice to know that I have friends who read my blog and LAUGH AT MY PROBLEMS! ;)
(23:05:34) happy_eclair: you talk to Mark on your blog (23:05:36) happy_eclair: how amusing! (23:05:37) happy_eclair: hahahaha (23:05:46) sachachua83: <laugh> (23:05:50) sachachua83: He reads it once in a while... (23:05:59) happy_eclair: :)) (23:06:09) happy_eclair: yeah, the panicking on your blog (23:06:13) happy_eclair: when you ought to be writing (23:06:22) happy_eclair: that is really funny <laughs>
Research is proceeding slowly but surely. Having found it nearly impossible to write in a scholarly manner without, err, actually having read scholarly sources first, I'm chewing through papers I find on the net. I'm _so_ glad the internet exists, too. Imagine what all those other researchers had to go through, tracking down paper sources?! Gasp, gasp. Anyway, I'm reading, and I don't feel quite so bad about my progress now.
My pen is still missing, though. =( My mom said that should help me learn to take better care of things. Yes, I gave myself _that_ lecture already. She also reminded me not to get too stressed out about the pen. Hey, that's why I write: I can get the stress out of my head.
And to all of you laughing out there: I know it's because you can just see me doing the Japanese-anime-full-panic mode... ^_^;
Random Japanese sentence: この犬はこの猫よりも私たちになつく。 This dog is more attached to us than this cat.

Royalty Pharma bids for Elan
26.02.2013 - Pharma IP investor Royalty Pharma has made a US$6,5bn take-over bid for Elan Corp. plc after the Irish company sold its bestseller Tysabri to Biogen Idec.
The bid came directly after Elan had sold its multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri (natalizummab) to its long-term partner Biogen Idec, securing the company US$3.25bn. On February 22nd, Elan said it planned a share buyback of US$1bn and will focus on acquisitions after having sold its bestseller. Additionally, the company announced it will refinance its US$600m in debt.
On February 25th, Royalty published a take-over offer of US$11 per share, valuing Elan at US$6.55bn, a 3.8% premium to Elan's closing share price on February 22nd. Royalty said that it already attempted to start negotiations with Elan on February 18th, after offering the price to Elan's management. Yesterday, the investor directly asked shareholders if they want to stay invested in a company that has nothing but cash and royalty streams from Tysabri.
Analysts however suggested that Elan would be worth more than US$15 per share. Elan's Board confirmed the bid, but called the timing of the bid "highly conditional" and a "proposal , which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the entire share capital of the company". Pointing to the Tysabri deal, the management added that the company has been working "for more than a year on a number of strategic transactions that would be to the benefit of our public shareholders". However, any credible proposal will be considered, said the management. After having spun off its antibody drug discovery arm Prothena Corp. plc, Elan is working with giants Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer Inc. on ELND005, a Phase II drug to treat Alzheimer's disease.

Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System Foundation selects new leader

Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System Foundation has selected a new leader.
Kristy Caradori was named recently as the foundation's new executive director. She is currently working as the vice president of development and marketing for the Children's Home Society of North Carolina, a statewide nonprofit child welfare agency. She worked in the Greensboro, N.C. office.
Caradori begins her new job in May. She has a bachelor degree in political science from the University of South Alabama and a master degree in management from Wake Forest University. She succeeds Dr. Sheila Breitweiser, who retires at the end of May.
With a broad range of experience that includes nonprofit operations, marketing and strategic planning, Caradori is uniquely qualified to support the growth of the foundation in a number of ways, Brenda James, chair of the foundation board, said in a written statement.
"We not only want to grow our endowment, but we also want to grow our presence in the community," James said in the written statement. "Kristy is the kind of leader we need to accomplish both of these important goals. In achieving those institutional goals, the foundation will continue to realize its commitment to preserving and improving the health and wellness of the community."
The foundation works to improve the health and wellness of those of living in the communities it serves. As health care continues to change, it is focused on creating new opportunities for dialogue on the importance of health and wellness, both within and outside hospital walls.
