Arduino: Stop Helping!
When I was a youngster, I had a pocket knife I carried with me everywhere. It had two blades, one large and the other small. One day while playing mumbly-peg, flipping my knife into a board, I chipped the point off. No matter, I found that the blade had become a screwdriver in addition to being a knife. For things that required a pointy end, well, there was the smaller blade. On through life I carried my little knife, getting tons of use from it.
One day while I was fishing, I happened to drop my knife overboard. The last time I saw the knife, it was slowly tumbling into the depths of Long Island Sound where I'm sure it sits, rusting, today. I was heartbroken at the loss of my old friend. My father decided to buy me a new knife for my birthday and I found myself the owner of a brand new Swiss Army knife.
It had twin knife blades, a saw, an awl, a corkscrew, scissors, can opener, flat and phillips screwdrivers; it even had a toothpick made of bone. It was an amazing little knife and I hated it. There were so many blades that it was difficult to get them open, and often I ended up pulling on the wrong blade. The knife was bulky and didn't fit the hand comfortably. Worse yet, I managed to pinch and poke myself trying to get at the various blades, at times drawing blood.
Somewhere an engineer looked at the ubiquitous pocket knife and said "This needs to be more" and proceeded to turn it into a multi-tool. Of course, the minute it was a multi-tool it was no longer a knife. I have a feeling that the Leatherman multi-tool was invented because the Swiss army knife went too damn far at trying to be all things to all people. The Swiss needed to stick to clocks and leave the world of cutlery behind.
And now here comes the Arduino Leonardo. For those who don't know Arduino, its a small little board that incorporates a microcontroller with a few simple tricks like analog to digital conversion. It was a tiny embedded computer that was pretty easy to use. It had its own software development program (IDE) that allowed non-programmers to write programs to make the simple little board do all sorts of wonderful things. The Arduino allowed me to build a whole array of robots and robotic devices without really knowing my ass from a tea kettle. With the Arduino I made autopilots for R/C airplanes, autonomous robots that carried out simple tasks, and little autonomous devices like the Cat Annoyer that roamed the house looking for our pets so it could sit next to them. If they moved, it would follow. Of course, I used the Arduino for more utilitarian tasks: controlling lights, locking and unlocking doors remotely, and even got artistic using it to control LED lamp sequencing for artistic projects. It was a simple and straight-forward component that opened up a whole world of recreational and utilitarian prospects.
The Arduino is Italian by descent, but it may as well have been Swiss. The folks that hold the reigns to its design are getting a case of need to "improve" the Arduino. Much to my dismay, the Arduino is becomming the Italian Army knife of the electronics world. Dammit.
The Arduino has been coming out with succeeding models which, chipping away a piece at a time, are relinquishing the concept of simplicity for complexity. The most recent offering, the Leonardo, now has users picking out analog or digital I/O pins from clusters of other pins which already have assigned purpose, and requiring on-board soldering to achieve even more pins. The new Leonardo requires special USB drivers for use, and new libraries to support its functions. It turned that corner and in doing so, left simplicity behind in favor of enhanced utility. But it did so needlessly. The world needs the Leonardo like like an opossum needs a Cuisinart.
Need more pins? Get an Arduino Mega. Need more pins in a tiny footprint? Get the Seed Studio Mega –which, by the way is cheaper and more capable than the Leonardo. Plus, you don't need to hold your tongue just right in order to get at its pins and functions. Not only that, it is pin compatible with the 'regular' Arduino –which is what I call the Duemilanove– so all of the available Arduino 'shield' boards plug right up without fear of mishaps.
There are lots of versions of the simple Arduino –some being more simple (and tiny) than others. But all the way through, they use the same tools and software as the 'regular' Arduino family, from the postage stamp size Pro Mini up to the Mega.
The Leonardo makes the first leap away from that across the board compatibility and simplicity. In an attempt to become all things to all people, it has been making Arduino users need greater skill levels to play along. And in doing so ends up rejecting audience. Let me explain. My first attempts at embedded computing involved the Stamp microcontroller. But ti was so complex and confusing to me, that I discarded the hobby ideas I had. It just required too much. Imagine my glee when I discover the Arduino, all ready to do my bidding with tons of standardized plug in components/shields and a simple easy to learn program development system. I was turning out robots at about one a week, finally getting the opportunity to breathe life into my ideas.
So I don't like the new direction that the Arduino team is taking. If they want to simplify the board some more, great. If they want to reduce its size using surface mount components, fine. If they want to add on capabilities then that's okay too –so long as those changes don't affect or change the basics. Do not require new libraries for programming, do not require special drivers for the Windows PCs used to program them. Don't alter the footprint so that shields and the like can't be used or need to be modified.
The Arduino was like using Tinker Toys. One could plug this into that, that into this, and have some life form scurrying across the floor in no time. But the new directions being applauded up the red carpet of public release do not excite me. They worry me.
Let them make a new product line so that those who live, eat and breathe electronics and programming can confuse themselves until the heat death of the universe. But when it comes to the ubiquitous little Arduino LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE!

- Sharks notebook: In twist, injuries help Brad Stuart stay fresh
- Sharks crush Kings, take 2-0 series lead
- Sharks defenseman Brad Stuart thrilled by how good he feels
- San Jose Sharks, L.A. Kings sticking with same lineups for Game 2
SAN JOSE -- Sharks center Andrew Desjardins had some advice for teammate James Sheppard if his struggles in the faceoff circle continue Sunday night in Game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinal series against the Los Angeles Kings: create chaos.
Sheppard won just 2 of 11 faceoffs in Game 1 on Thursday, largely taking draws against the Kings' Jarret Stoll. It appears Sheppard will be back at third line center again Sunday between wingers Tommy Wingels and Tomas Hertl, with matchups against Stoll bound to happen at some point in the game.
"I think the main thing is trying to get your wingers involved. You're trying to create more of a scrum situation if you're not being successful," said Desjardins, who won seven of 10 faceoffs in Game 1 and was 55 percent on draws for the season.
"I know that's what I try to do, try to tell my wingers to make sure they help me out. When you have a good guy like Stoll and he's snapping back, you may want to start a scrum. it's one of those things where you need everybody to help out."
The Sharks had Joe Pavelski take draws against Stoll in certain key moments Thursday when the puck was in San Jose's defensive zone.
Stoll, who won 54.7 percent of his draws during the regular season, still won 11 of 19 draws in the game as the Kings held a slight advantage overall 35-33.
Pavelski won 56 percent of his faceoffs in the regular season, with Joe Thornton leading the team percentage-wise at 56.1 percent. Sheppard was at 45.1 percent for the year, but has far less experience in that area than Thornton or Pavelski.
"It doesn't really matter who I'm going against, I just want to win every draw," Stoll said. "If it's Sheppard, or Pavelski or Thornton. I think Pavelski and Thornton have better percentages, but that's just the way it works out. We'll see what happens.
"I know Pavelski goes out there for the right side draws, and I expect a lot of that tonight and Thornton on the other side. That's the mindset that they're going into it with, putting those guys out there, especially in their defensive zone."

Art around the Wrist
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:00:00 AM in Piaget (28)
Paintings and art pieces are usually too heavy to carry around to show off to friends. But Piaget makes it easier for anyone to carry around an art piece for others, and for him, to enjoy. Enameling has been a tradition at Piaget's. It is a continuous tradition to create watches with miniature paintings thus infusing the complications and sophistication of science with the elegance and beauty of art. Piaget's obsession with art is evident in such pieces as the Protocole XXL Paris and New York. Using the the Protocole as the canvas, Piaget now paints with enamel all over the face of the watch covering every surface. This miniature painting is done on 18k white or yellow gold. They could've used any other material but hey, it's Piaget. They have reached another level of obsession for perfection in art and craftsmanship. The watches themselves are pretty hard to make and more so the enamel paintings embracing them. Every enameled piece is reportedly fired almost twenty times in the oven for perfection. Most of the time, art pieces belong in the galleries but a Piaget belongs around your wrist. To get some Piaget's around your wrists, visit Shreve & Co. – authorized dealer for Piaget.

If you believe some members of the Richmond City Council, the city's plan to seize underwater mortgages through eminent domain and repackage them at a discount will stave off foreclosures, keep homeowners in homes and make everyone happy. But not everyone is.
Constance Delaney, a 30-year resident who lives in a modest home near City Hall, thinks the city is eyeing a dangerous path, overstepping its authority, exposing itself to lawsuits and overstating the need for action.
"I take exception to the mayor marketing our city as falling apart," Delaney said. "Richmond has not been devastated by mortgages, and she's giving a distorted view of what's happening."
That mayor would be Gayle McLaughlin, foremost advocate of a plan called Richmond CARES, who says a sour economy has buried 50 percent of hardworking homeowners under debts greater than their homes' market values. ("That's just an emotional plea," said Delaney. "It's B.S.")
Whatever the percentage is -- it keeps getting smaller as property values go up -- the need for drastic action is only one of many questions about this program. Begin with the fact that it targets only 624 of Richmond's 19,000 owner-occupied homes. If half of them are underwater, why seize only 3 percent?
Why did none of those 624 include homeowners with second mortgages, who presumably most need help? Who will profit from this deal? Who will fund the new loans and at what interest rate? And if the city is so gung-ho, why hasn't it acted?
City Manager Bill Lindsay fielded those and other questions for the better part of an hour, acknowledging that not even he is sure the plan is legal. Attorneys have offered differing opinions.
He said the 624 homes represent only the program's first phase, and helping 624 is better than helping no one. Homeowners were not selected by need, and those with second liens were excluded because dealing with two lenders complicates things.
Mortgage Resolution Partners stands to get a $5,000 fee per transaction (the city also gets $1,500), but it will not fund the loans. Lenders will have to be located, and there's no guarantee on interest rates.
A major hurdle is locating cities to partner with Richmond in a Joint Powers Authority -- no one is knocking at its door -- because it doesn't want to act without someone sharing liability. (MRP has indemnified Richmond against legal action, but with no financial guarantee it's little more than a promise.) The City Council hasn't yet authorized the use of eminent domain because of that concern.
The city manager concedes that complexities abound. The city would control the program, but it has no staff to manage it, so that would fall to MRP. Assessors must value each mortgage, and lenders willing to fund 100 percent of that amount plus transaction fees must be located. Then there's the matter of getting a court to find merit in an eminent domain claim.
Because any action will be met with lawsuits, Lindsay believes it would take at least a year to seize the first mortgage -- well after McLaughlin is termed out of office, by the way. It makes a guy wonder why anybody would keep plowing this field, unless it's some sort of symbolic statement.
"This isn't about evil banks," Lindsay said. "It's a blight-abatement strategy. It's about preserving neighborhoods and encouraging homeownership."
Constance Delaney thinks it's foolish and unnecessary. I'm inclined to agree.

Ferry strikes NYC dock injuring dozens
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 9:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 9:24 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — A commuter ferry from New Jersey crashed into a dock in lower Manhattan during the Wednesday morning rush hour, injuring at least 50 people, at least two critically, officials and witnesses said.
Passengers aboard the vessel, the Seastreak Wall Street, said scores of people who had been standing waiting to disembark were hurled to the deck by the impact.
"We were pulling into the dock. The boat hit the dock. We just tumbled on top of each other. I got thrown into everybody else. ... People were hysterical, crying," said Ellen Foran, 57, of Neptune City, N.J.
The accident, which ripped open part the boat's hull like an aluminum can, happened at 8:45 a.m. at a pier near the South Street Seaport, at Manhattan's southern tip.
Firefighters were still carrying people away on flat-board stretchers an hour after the crash.
More than 340 passengers and crew members were aboard the ferry, which had arrived from Atlantic Highlands, N.J., a section of the Jersey shore still struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy.
Passenger Frank McLaughlin, 46, whose home was filled with 5 feet of water in the storm, said he was thrown forward and wrenched his knee in the impact.
He said some other passengers were bloodied when they banged into walls and toppled to the floor.
Dee Wertz, who was on shore, waiting for the ferry, saw the impact.
"It was coming in a little wobbly," she said. "It hit the right side of the boat on the dock hard, like a bomb."
After the impact, the boat was able to dock normally. Wertz said passengers raced off once the ramp was down.
"I think people just wanted to get the heck off the boat as soon as they could," she said.
Ferries are a fairly common way to commute to work in Manhattan, an island separated from New Jersey and the rest of New York City by rivers.

PLEASANT HILL -- Students at Diablo Valley College joined women across the globe Thursday as they stood tall and danced during "One Billion Rising," a one-day event calling for an end to violence against women and girls.
"One Billion Rising," which takes its name from the estimate that one in three women will be beaten or sexually assaulted in her lifetime, commemorates the 15th anniversary of playwright Eve Ensler's "V-Day" campaign. Through annual benefit performances of Ensler's play "The Vagina Monologues" and other artistic events, "V-Day" shines a spotlight on the international movement to stop rape, battery, female genital mutilation and other violence against girls and women.
Diablo Valley dance instructor Kimberly Valmore recruited her students to stage a flash mob on campus, performing the dance routine legendary choreographer Debbie Allen created for "One Billion Rising." The group practiced for several weeks.
"I think at the end of all this, and that's what I love about this dance, it's about celebrating women, to be able to say that a bunch of women can stand up for this and really say 'enough is enough'," Valmore said.
Dressed in vibrant hot pink and red tops, about two dozen young women gathered in front of the Diablo Valley cafeteria shortly after noon. They shimmied to the tune "Break the Chain," the official event song.
Cimone Bassilios, a 20-year-old creative writing and dance student, said she performed because she believes in the anti-violence movement and has friends who have been in abusive relationships.
"The reason the dance is happy is we're trying to show there is another way, and we're all in this together," Bassilios said.
Although men didn't perform, a handful stood in solidarity with the dancers and held signs with anti-violence slogans.
"There's that certain group that feels they have to be aggressive against people; that isn't right," said Lawrence Maloy, 20. "I don't know how you can make them change. But if enough people do this, it can be a movement."
Rape crisis centers across the state participated in "One Billion Rising," said Sandra Henriquez, executive director of the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault, an advocacy group.
"I think it's a way to involve and engage members of the community in this effort and have them become a part of the solution and have everybody take a stance and understand how sexual violence affects all of us, whether we're directly impacted or it's our mothers, sisters, grandmothers or daughters," Henriquez said.
Domestic violence is a huge problem in Contra Costa County, said Rachel Piersig, supervisor of the felony domestic violence unit in the District Attorney's office. She said that last year, the office filed 92 felony domestic violence cases and 252 misdemeanor cases. Prosecutors convicted 127 defendants of felony domestic violence, which includes domestic battery, restraining order violations, stalking and domestic violence sexual assault.
Piersig said the statistics mask the widespread effect domestic violence has on abusers, victims, children and other relatives. She also pointed out that more cases of domestic abuse are spilling over into the workplace, such as the 2011 shooting in a Seal Beach salon, when a man was charged with killing his ex-wife and seven others.
"The tentacles are just far-reaching," Piersig said.

Manufacturers backed Obamacare two years ago as a way to expand the market for prescription drugs, including a growing number of pricey biotech therapies. In return, industry agreed to pay hefty new fees as well as higher rebates on Medicaid drugs, and to subsidize the cost of drugs sold to seniors caught in the "doughnut hole" of the Medicare prescription drug program. The worst-case scenario for manufacturers now would be to eliminate the market reforms and insurance exchanges designed to expand enrollment in health plans, while retaining provisions that cut revenues and raise costs for industry.The 800-pound gorilla in the room is the looming Supreme Court decision on the constitutionality of the Obama healthcare reform legislation. While the Justices ponder the weighty legal issues, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will continue to implement the multitude of policies and programs established by that law. The administration's working assumption is that the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—or much of it—will remain in place. Many states are moving ahead with efforts to expand health IT systems and to establish processes for determining insurance eligibility and coverage. But a Republican takeover of the White House in November 2012 would bring considerable changes in health-related programs.
Whatever the legal and political outcome, policymakers on all sides will be looking to cut payments to providers, to increase cost-sharing by patients, and to reduce benefits and services. Increased reliance on managed care plans and coordinated care programs, initiatives to reduce fraud and abuse, perennial proposals to reform the nation's medical liability system, and efforts to curb pharmacy expenditures will emerge as ways to save money without compromising care.
The drive for healthcare savings will continue to shine the spotlight on pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement, and access. Policymakers increasingly will be looking for more convincing evidence of the value of new medicines and for new ways to reduce risk in determining coverage of new therapies. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs), and other payers and insurers will question the value of high-cost therapies that appear to offer limited benefit. Payers and policymakers will face difficult questions about cost versus safety and efficacy, as seen in the debate over treatment of age-related macular degeneration with off-label use of the cancer drug Avastin (bevacizumab), instead of with its more costly formulation Lucentis (ranibizumab). Similarly, the controversy over the sharp price hike for preterm-birth treatment Makena (caproate) after it gained market control under FDA's policy for halting sales of unapproved drugs, indicates that prices perceived as excessive can override some drug-safety issues.
Payers will continue to look for more drug discounts and rebates, threatening to relegate pricey products to unfavorable positions on health plan formularies. Although the Medicare Part D drug benefit has provided seniors with access to affordable medicines, benefits may suffer as many plans boost co-pays and limit coverage for costly therapies. In Europe, government agencies such as the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) are opposing coverage of expensive products that lack sufficient added benefits.
Manufacturers are responding with risk-sharing programs that skew prices based on patient response to a new therapy. The claim by biopharmaceutical companies that effective treatment with expensive therapies can reduce overall healthcare costs will remain a hard-sell to the number-crunchers that regard pharmacy outlays as a discrete expenditure, rather than a way to save money.
Pressure to cut costs will drive support for the ACA provision that establishes a pathway for bringing biosimilars to market. FDA guidance on the scope of preclinical and clinical testing needed to document product comparability, if not interchangeability, will spur manufacturers of all stripes to move aggressively into the follow-on biologics field. For the program to be effective, policymakers will have to decide a number of thorny issues, including policies for names to identify these products, coding requirements for reimbursement, and rules governing patent challenges and protection.
Biosimilars are a big issue because payers anticipate hefty savings from these look-alike therapies, as has been the case with small molecules during the past 25 years. Generic drugs now account for about 80% of prescriptions in the US, and the proportion will rise further as more blockbuster brands such Pfizer's Lipitor (atorvastatin) go off patent. The wave of new generic drugs puts more pressure on FDA to speed up its process for approving new generic drugs for market. New user fees paid by generic drugmakers will help fund such efforts.
Efforts by Pfizer to retain a good portion of the Lipitor market by cutting its price and negotiating long-term deals with payers and PBMs have roiled the drug industry and pharmacy programs. These actions further spur industry critics to harp about brand-generic patent settlements that can delay when a generic comes to market and propose policies to curb those practices.

7.16 As early as November 1941 reports had begun to emerge of a violent camp at Oswiecim (that is, Auschwitz) and another camp nearby where poison gas was being used on an experimental basis. But for the most part the early reports mentioned Belzec, Treblinka and Sobibor rather than Auschwitz. However, in March 1943 a radio message to London from Polish resistance sources reported the gassing of more than 500,000 at Oswiecim. There were other reports in the course of 1944 to similar effect. But none of them attracted much attention at the time. Other reports mentioned Birkenau but its connection with Auschwitz does not appear to have been appreciated. Cypher reports from Auschwitz (and other camps) to Berlin were being intercepted by British intelligence at Bletchley but (as will be seen) these made no mention of deaths by gassing.
7.17 In mid-1944 two young Slovak Jews, named Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzlar, who had escaped from Auschwitz, gave accounts of the systematic extermination of Jews at Birkenau (ie Auschwitz II), commencing in the summer of 1942 and involving the use of specially-constructed gas chambers and crematoria. This account was circulated to London and Washington. Another corroborative account, from a Polish gentile, Jerzy Tabeau, who had also escaped from the camp, also appeared. In June and July 1944 there was publicity in the New York Times about the mass killing of Jews by gassing at Auschwitz.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Act (Public Law 112-152) called for a three-coin program of $5 gold, $1 silver, and half-dollar clad coins and required a competition to select a common obverse (heads side) design emblematic of the game of baseball.
The competition was held from April 11-May 11, 2013. We received 178 designs. All embodied the spirit of our nation's pastime; unfortunately, only one winner could be chosen.
The United States Mint thanks all those who participated in the 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin competition as well as to all the kids that participated in our kids' challenge. National Baseball Hall of Fame coins are scheduled to go on sale in early 2014. You can view the designs of all of the finalists on Challenge.gov.
Three United States Mint sculptor-engravers and a Bureau of Engraving and Printing banknote designer reviewed all 178 designs and scored them based on 1) artistic merit and 2) how well they would translate into a coin format. Based on these scores, the semi-finalists were selected.
The semi-finalist designs were then shown to five members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. These esteemed members of the baseball community completed their evaluations of the semi-finalist designs and submitted their scores to determine the finalists. These designs became available for public viewing on July 18 2013 and were presented to the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC), and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum for review and comment.
The Acting Director of the United States Mint made a final recommendation to the Secretary of the Treasury after considering all relevant factors, including the comments and recommendations of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the CFA, and the CCAC. The Secretary of the Treasury made the final design selection in early September 2013.
At a young age, Cassie McFarland understood the importance of communicating through art. Thanks to the support and encouragement of her family, she pursued her passion for art, earning a degree in Fine Arts, Studio Art and Design from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA. Not yet out of her twenties, Cassie has created a legacy with her winning design of the common obverse (heads side) of the National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin
Cassie entered the national design competition because she was intrigued with the idea that America's coins tap into the history and personality of the nation. Creating a design that celebrates America's pastime also appealed to her because she played softball as a child and attended Major League Baseball games with her father–cheering for the Los Angeles Dodgers. (She is now a San Francisco Giants fan.)
Upon deciding to pursue the design competition, Cassie quickly determined that depicting a baseball glove would complement the design legislated for the common reverse (tails side) and the concave shape of the coin also lent itself perfectly to the depiction of a glove. The baseball glove used to guide Cassie's design was inspired by a well-loved and well-used glove that always seemed to be within arm's reach in her childhood home. Friends and family would use it for impromptu games or to play catch. Like the glove that was always nearby, Cassie feels that baseball and coins are a natural part of our lives. She wanted to depict a common object remembered with great fondness that could strike an emotional chord in fellow Americans, no matter their age.
Cassie resides in San Luis Obispo, where she practices figurative painting and photography. She recently established a collective of professionals working to promote visual and performing arts within her community. Winning this contest is her first recognition on the national level and one that Cassie hopes will sustain her trajectory as an artist who contributes to public service through her passion and skill.

Photographic collection of ornamental motifs
The album Industrial drawing by Javet comes from the Forney library collection; thirty photographic plates reproduce the plates of a collection of industrial drawings which was probably photographed in order to duplicate the original and facilitate its loan.
The 19th century witnessed a vogue for collections of ornamentations and commercial catalogues of products for the building trade. This latter type of publication was closely linked from the outset to collections of ornamentations, but differed in its end use: the examples in the catalogues were designed to be reproduced by industrial means.
The plates in this album are numbered in continuous sequence, possibly a feature of the original which seems to have been designed as a brochure for sale (as is demonstrated by the concealed cover price). What is the role of the photographic medium in the commercial use and distribution of this collection of ornamental motifs?
The Petit Palais building, designed by Charles Girault, lies at the heart of this new set of architectural issues; its ornamentation was created using moulding techniques and the work of the ornamental sculptors was guided by a wealth of graphic documentation.
The album Industrial drawing by Javet provides an insight into a certain vision of architectural creation in which the large-scale circulation of designs common to all plays an essential part.

Pacer relievers Jake Padgett (Gilbert, S.C./Gilbert HS), Caleb Smith (Aiken, S.C./Coastal Carolina) and Taylor Grover (North Augusta, S.C./Midland Valley HS) each pitched an inning the rest of the way with the trio only allowing one hit. Smith struck out two, while Grover fanned one in the top of the ninth.
Carson-Newman starter Quinton Yocom pitched the first 5.1 innings in his loss. Yocom (1-1) allowed 11 hits and six runs. He was one of four Carson-Newman pitchers utilized on the day.

The Lincoln County Office of Emergency Management along with the Wellston Emergency Management Office and the City of Carney are humbled by the outpouring of support from fellow Oklahomans wanting to help following Sunday's tornadoes in that area.
Officials respectfully ask that at this time donations be limited to the items listed below as these are the needs that have been identified at this time:
• Sunscreen; Bug Spray; Batteries (all sizes); Ball caps; First aid kits/supplies; Tarps; Plastic storage containers with lids; Flashlights; Non-perishable snack foods.
Joey Wakefield, Lincoln County's emergency manager, asks everyone to contact emergency management personnel prior to deploying to assist in the affected areas of Lincoln County.
"It is important to remember that recovery from such a disaster is a long term event and needs will continue in future weeks," Wakefield said. "There may be a need for further donations and/or manpower in the near future to support recovery efforts.
Donations of large furniture items, household items, and appliances are currently not being accepted as the victims simply do not have a need for these items at this time.
Monetary donations to reputable relief organizations and Volunteers Organization Active in Disasters (VOADs) or faith based organizations will continue to be accepted.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Appeal Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Lord Justice PillTable of Contents
|<< The applicant's case
|< Background
|The approach of this Cour... >
|Result >>
The test to be applied
20. In stating his conclusions on the defence of justification, the judge first set out the claims made by the respondents, their extent and the test to be applied. We set out the relevant paragraphs in full. Mr Davies accepts that in paragraphs 13.3 and 13.4 the judge has correctly stated the test to be applied.
- "13.1 The charges levelled at Irving's historiography appear to me to lie at the heart of what Lipstadt wrote about him in Denying the Holocaust. I propose therefore to consider first whether the Defendants have made good their claim that, in what he has written and said about the Third Reich, Irving has falsified and misrepresented the historical evidence.
- 13.2 There are several aspects to this. The falsification and misrepresentation alleged by the Defendants relate to (a) the specific individual criticisms of Irving's historiography which are addressed in section v. above; (b) his portrayal of Hitler, which is dealt with at section vi.; (c) his claims in relation to Auschwitz covered in section vii. And, finally, (d) the bombing of Dresden which is dealt with in section xi.
- 13.3 The question which I shall have to decide is whether the Defendants have discharged the burden of establishing the substantial truth of their claim that Irving has falsified the historical record. In this connection I should repeat the caveat expressed at the beginning of this judgment: the issue with which I am concerned is Irving's treatment of the available evidence. It is no part of my function to attempt to make findings as to what actually happened during the Nazi regime. The distinction may be a fine one but it is important to bear it in mind.
- 13.4 If the charge of misrepresentation and falsification of the historical evidence is substantially made out, there remains the question whether it was deliberate. Irving rightly stresses that the Defendants have accused him of deliberately perverting the evidence. For their part the Defendants recognize that it is incumbent on them to establish, according to the appropriate standard of proof, that the misrepresentation and falsification were motivated by Irving's ideological beliefs or prejudices. In this context, I shall consider the submission made by Irving that he had been guilty, at worst, of making errors in his handling of the historical record. As I will explain in assessing Irving's motivation, I will also take into account the evidence of the public statements by Irving in which he allegedly denied the Holocaust; the evidence upon the basis of which the Defendants accuse him of anti-semitism and racism and the evidence of his alleged association with right-wing extremists."

Facebook feedback: What is your favorite thing to catch at a Mardi Gras parade and why?
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 11:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 11:50 a.m.
Maggie Carroll Lottinger, 25, of Houma: The "nice beads." You know, the fancy ones! We give them to friends and family from out of town who don't get to experience Mardi Gras.
Jerry L. Moody: Sleep.
Belinda Morgan Decuir: Stuffed animals because the smile on my kid's face is always priceless.
Regina Lirette Pierron: Cups! My favorite cup to drink out of is a Mardi Gras cup.
Caitlynn Michele, 16, of Thibodaux: The big Saints beads.
Sandy Balado, 61, of Amite: Doubloons.
Ashley Falgout, 28, of Houma: We love to catch stuffed animals because beads make a mess at home. And also myself and my kids have gotten hurt by the packs of beads.
Doris Pledger, 57, of Thibodaux: Any nice bead.
Ramona Kelley Bishop: We always fought over the big cups. They were our drinking glasses for the kids. They held the doubloons we got. And, some of them we kept as sweet reminders of the parades. They were inscribed with the year and the krewe name and city. Still have a few somewhere full of doubloons. And, still have some special beads we kept.

Bama No. 1 in preseason gymnastics poll
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.

TUSCALOOSA | The two-time defending NCAA champion Alabama gymnastics team is ranked No. 1 in the preseason national coaches' poll. The Crimson Tide was ranked second in the preseason poll the last two years.
The preseason top 25 also includes all nine of Alabama's 2013 opponents, including the remaining three of the top four — UCLA at No. 2, Florida at No. 3 and Oklahoma at No. 4. The Gators and Bruins, who finished second and third last season in the tightest championship finish in NCAA gymnastics history, are separated by a single point in the preseason poll. Utah rounds out the top five.
"I had the same four teams at the top on my ballot," UA coach Sarah Patterson said. "Although I had Florida at No. 1, and I feel they are the most talented team in the country and have been for the last several years."
The Tide will face No. 8 LSU twice this season and will take on No. 11 Georgia and No. 12 Arkansas on the road. Alabama will also meet No. 13 Auburn at midseason and will open on the road with No. 21 Missouri. This year's Power of Pink meet will see the Tide take on No. 25 Kentucky in Coleman Coliseum.
"The addition of Missouri to the Southeastern Conference this season does nothing but strengthen the nation's premiere gymnastics conference," Patterson said. "All eight of our schools are in the top 25, with seven in the top 15 and two in the top three.
"Our home schedule is incredible. Overall, our schedule is probably the toughest in the nation, but one that I feel will give us the experience necessary to be on the floor the last night of the season with a chance to win another championship."
Season tickets are on sale through the Alabama Ticket Office (205-348-2262) and online at RollTide.com.

I am doing my third sprint tri in July and I will be about 10 weeks pregnant. I have already recieved the OK from my doctor. I am looking for info from anyone who has raced pregnant - any advice, how did the race go, would you do it again?
Congrats by the way!
jsut happened to see that the June Trail runner magazine has an article on training while/after pregnancy and said running was ok that the jostling wasn't going to hurt the baby. they went to say that the old rules of keeping HR below 140 really isn't that good of a guideline. and basically just said to use common sense - be careful about overheating and eat right.
hope that helps. good luck on the race and the lil' one(s?)
goals for 2011:
break 19minutes for 5k
break 2:42 for olympic triathlon probably Anthracite olympic
break 3:16 for marathon ( a long shot but it's fun putting yourself out there)
Joe is right.
If you want to read the current position paper on it, go to http:/bjsortmed.com/ "Guidelines of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists for exercise during pregnancy and the postpartum period".
I hope you come home with the hardware on your July sprint. That way, you can tell your baby, you were a winner before you were born!
Hi! I know a racing woman, she recently delivered a baby and she also wrote some articles about running and racing during pregnancy. Her name is Vanda Kaderabkova. Please write to email@example.com and your message will be handed over.
Good luck!
Ok, I have not raced pregnant but I have raced enough times to know that no one pregnant should be on the bike on a tri. And I am a mother of 2 girls.
Swim/run -- if doc clears thats cool.
But how much can you trust others bike handling skills, especially given all the excitement of the race day. I have seen very sloppy bikers in races that took others down.
I say do a relay, find a biker.. there will be plenty of races where your baby will meet you at the finish line.
Not worth the risk !
My 2 cents
I ran a marathon 4 months pg, in first pregnancy, which was too much and I don't recommend. Than I did several short tris with second pregnancy. Go easy, stay fueled and hydrated, and have fun! Coming into a finish line, this guy was dragging and I said, "C'mon, man - you can't let a pregnant woman bet you!" It lit a fire under him and he thanked me later. Very funny!
I would definitely do it again. It made me feel like myself, and my daughter says she's already done a tri.
Watch yourself on the run, especially if it's hot. You're doing it for fun!
Congratulations! Just a quick physical check to consider before the tri:
Are you getting varicose veins? Once they break due to pressure, the don't go away.
Are your legs starting to swell?
I ask these questions because I had a pregnant, type A, friend who had the above and ran with a carrier to hold her belly up. Her veins were literally ready to pop and she didn't head the warnings.
There were some good advices above, except the negative one based on emotion and not information.
Good luck on your decision and make sure you feel good!
I did my 2nd sprint triathlon while pregnant - but I didn't even know it! I found out the following week that I was 5 weeks along. I did great and was just fine along with my daughter. =) I would just do it for yourself, I wouldn't actually race. Have fun and good for you!!!!
i raced- all out super high heart rate at a sprint race when i was 3- 4 weeks pregnant. i didn't know i was pregnant. no problems for the baby. but had i known i would not have raced or just did it to finish and kept my heart rate as low as i could. --renee
Good grief - selfish? Crack? Come on! She's gathering information - not setting herself up for mean spirited rants - from women who have raced pregnant. Would that be you?
Read what she wrote: she got her doctors' approval; she's experienced in tris so she knows what she's getting into; she's only going to be 10 weeks pregnant at the time of the event. If shaking and falling and bumping could end a healthy pregnancy at that stage, we'd see a lot of female bikers doing centuries on railroad tracks.
I've never raced pregnant, which is why i referred her to ACOG article. Those who work with large numbers of pregnant and post partum athletes is another source of information.
Whoa, bohnster. That was really unnecessary. I didn't race while pregnant, but I did exercise like a fiend. My son is incredibly healthy. By contrast, I did not exercise in my first pregnancy and my oldest child has a lot of health problems.
My mother smoked marijuana (laced with opium, no less) throughout her pregnancy with me. Now THAT is selfish. Running a triathlon while pregnant (when your doctor has ok'd it)-sorry, those are just not the same things.
i'm not a woman but it doesn't take a woman to see that it makes sense to keep away from potentially hazardous situations like a flat bicycle tire or tripping while running. it's just not a natural thing, to be riding a bike or running, while pregnant, and while it doesn't seem the same as smoking crack or hash browns or whatever, its definitely putting the fetus in harms way unnecessarily, even if the chance of harm is very remote, like one in a thousand or whatever.
on the other hand, what do i know? better stick to what yo-sal says. or the doctor.
Not natural to exercise while pregnant? Pregnant women are not made of glass, you know. She is only 10 weeks pregnant, not 8 months and has done sprint tri's before so she knows what to expect.
Come to think of it, the whole concept of running races (any type) is pretty unnatural. Our cave-dwelling ancestors would never have dreamed of running 26.2 miles, just to collect a goodie bag and t-shirt. They would never have run that far in order to do anything but catch a nice, juicy antelope. They would have thought we were nuts....
So what's really unnatural: A pregnant woman exercising, or a 300 pound guy sacked out on the couch, watching reality TV and chowing down on a quarter-pounder?

"The beginning already anticipates the end. And the end is a new beginning. Temporalities and spaces overlap in the Ring. There is no time in the historical sense. For his parable of an entire world, Wagner sets the "artificial time" for the "First Evening" preceding the three subsequent works. Wagner´s "Theatre of the Future", the most generously outlined in the RING, is depicted as an epic report of doom, as a grandiose endgame which in its comprehensive conceptual dimension can be compared to the Oresteia of Aishylus, or Shakespeare´s historical royal dramas. Where is the RING´s actual setting? Is it located in prehistoric Scandinavia? Or is it a romantic period piece of Germany, including forests, fortresses and castles? Are we in the Wilhelminic era of the Gründerzeit, witnessing the onset of Industrial Revolution and the rise of the Middle Class? Or could this possibly be the "Thousand Year Reich?" Are we already in "2001"? The most transparent and honest decision that could be taken in these circumstances is: we are here, and now, in the theatre, on a contemporary musical stage, with all the creativity that goes with being suspended between the conventions and visions of the Theatre of the Past, and those of a Theatre of the Future. Our stage should be seen as a "time tunnel". Each and every character, every situation is then and now at once. What has been above is reversed into a beneath. Hope has become fear that once more imagines freedom. The beginning means the end, and the end is the beginning." (Götz Friedrich, 1984)
"For GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG, the TWILIGHT OF THE GODS we had conceived a tunnel that relates to the Washington metro. An opera friend had sent me a postcard with this in mind. We decided to employ this tunnel concept throughout the cycle. In this we were aided by Henry Moore´s drawings of the London metro tunnel and many other inputs that were soon embedded in the terminology of the "time tunnel". It seemed the suitable dimension for a combination of time and space, an overlapping, intermingling of Past, Present and Future.
And the idea that the RING is a game of parables now became manifest to us in an amazing manner: the Gods have retreated below grounds, the benevolent ones along with the malevolent ones, along with their creatures. And down there, they reenact, for themselves and for us, once again, and ever again, the great play of Power and of Love …" (Götz Friedrich, 1990)
"Even before the prelude the iron curtain is raised accompanied by a brief eternity of silence. The silence at the beginning signalizes the mute ending. The shrouded figures of the petrified actors are made visible in their stages of the Before and After. The stage represents a "time tunnel" where the forces and events of Yesterday, Today and perhaps Tomorrow intermingle. At the same time it is the refuge of those who were shunted here in the aftermath of a catastrophe. After this, DAS RHEINGOLD is no longer purely a divine drama but the drama of Life itself with the inherent forces of destruction that inhabit Consciousness. Wotan´s will to power corresponds with his tendency to "transform and change" that increasingly falls for, a tendency which in the end renders him totally incapable of realizing the possibilities Reality offers. Loge, the neutral observer at his side is unconcerned with the fate of the living. As he is endowed with a rationale that is exempt from all ethical norms, he is able to anticipate the end of the world of the Gods that is now frozen in decadence. "Ihrem Ende eilen sie zu, die so stark im Bestehen sich wähnen! (They are hastening towards their end, those who imagine themselves so solid and abiding!)" While delivering this passage, Friedrich lets him emerge from the play and turn towards the audience, assuming the role of a conferencier. This again creates a focus on the basic concept that evidently a universal concern. In the meanwhile the Gods in all their ignorance, coquettish behaviour and indulgence towards themselves strut out their Pavane that has become devoid of all content, heading towards Walhalla." (K. Klebe, Das Opernglas)

On May 17, the Eagle County Sheriff's Office obtained an arrest warrant for Omar Saucedo, age 20, of Gypsum. Saucedo is being charged with sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust.
On May 8, the Eagle County Sheriff's Office received a report of an unlawful sexual act between Saucedo, who was a volunteer track coach at the Eagle Valley High School, and a 15-year-old student. The sexual encounter between Saucedo and the student did not occur on school property.
If you think you may have any information about the suspects or this crime, please call the Eagle County Sheriff's Office at (970) 328-8500 or Eagle County Crime Stoppers at (970) 328-7007, 1-800-972-TIPS, submit your tip online at www.tipsubmit.com, or text a tip from your cell phone by texting STOPCRIME plus your message to CRIMES (274637). If your tip leads to the arrest and indictment of any suspect involved, you could earn up to a $1,000 reward from the Crime Stoppers.
A deputy responded to a noise complaint about a party at a residence on Valley Road in Gypsum on May 5.
The 32-year-old resident agreed to quiet down the party but a second complaint from a different neighbor was made shortly after. The officer returned and warned the hostess more bluntly that she would be cited if she didn't correct the problem.
The officer walked away and waited to see if the noise quieted. The music did but loud voices could still be heard for a while. One of the voices was the hostess making a crude remark about the deputy.
A while later, a third complaint came in from another neighbor. The deputy returned and cited the woman for violating Gypsum's noise ordinance.
A 25-year-old woman called deputies on May 6 to report that her 45-year-old mother was intoxicated and violating her probation.
The daughter said her mother was not supposed to drink alcohol and had removed her ankle monitor a couple weeks ago. She added that her mother has cirrhosis, a liver disease, and keeps drinking even though she knows she will die if she doesn't stop.
Officers went to the mother's home in Gypsum and knocked on the door. A man's voice said to come in. The deputies entered and saw the woman lying on the couch with her husband.
She and her husband were both intoxicated and she didn't want to speak or cooperate with the officers. She said she wasn't going anywhere and grabbed onto her husband, who urged her to cooperate and tried to distance himself from her.
One of the deputies pulled the woman to her feet and she kicked the other deputy, knocking off his glasses. The officers then put her face-down on the floor, wrestled her into handcuffs and sat her on the lawn outside where she continued to scream at them.
The woman was arrested for assault and obstruction of a peace officer, resisting arrest, violating a restraining order and failing to appear in court. Her legs were restrained on the way to jail to keep her from kicking out a window of the patrol car.
A deputy stopped a car on U.S. Highway 6 in Edwards on May 6 after the driver failed to dim her high beams.
The officer was going the opposite direction and flashed his brights twice to remind the driver to dim her lights. When she didn't respond, the deputy turned around and pulled her over.
The 57-year-old smelled of alcohol when the deputy contacted her. She initially denied drinking anything then admitted she had a glass of wine at the start of a dinner party.
The deputy asked if the woman if she would perform voluntary roadside maneuvers. The woman declined and elected to have a blood test.
She was cited for driving under the influence of alcohol and failing to dim lights for oncoming traffic.
A Gypsum resident suspects someone entered her home on Sunny Avenue the afternoon of May 7. She said she left the house around noon and the kitchen window was only open a couple inches. When she came home hours later, the window was wide open. A spare key and two gold rings were $150 each were missing.
On May 8, an Edwards resident reported that a man was rummaging cars parked on Flat Top Street.
The suspect was wearing all black except for white lettering on the back of a T-shirt.
Deputies investigated and found several cars that appeared to have been entered. Only two car owners reported any thefts from their vehicles, which included an iPod and sunglasses.
An empty foreclosed home on First Street in Gypsum was broken into and vandalized on April 22. Things inside the house were burnt and broken, and paintballs had been shot off inside.
Someone broke into the house again between May 4 and 8. The homeowner said someone broke the extra lock he placed on the door after the first break-in.
Deputies responded to a car accident in Gypsum on May 9.
Witnesses said a pickup truck ran a stop sign as it turned onto Eagle Street from Second Street and hit the front of another car stopped on Eagle Street.
The other driver told a deputy, "I think the guy that hit me is on something."
The deputy recognized the 27-year-old suspect from past interactions and the man did appear to be under the influence of something. The man said he had one beer while playing horseshoes but the officer also knew the man took medications and marijuana due to seizures. He asked him if he took any of those earlier that day. The man said he had taken Ativan, Soma and marijuana that morning.
The man agreed to voluntary roadside maneuvers and he failed. He chose a breath test and blew a zero but since he admitted to using other drugs, the deputy said a blood test would be needed. The man agreed and was cited for driving under the influence of drugs, failing to stop at a stop sign and careless driving.
A deputy stopped a car on Interstate 70 in Eagle-Vail on May 14 because the car's license plate was obscured.
When he contacted the 31-year-old driver, the man's breath smelled of alcohol and his driver's license was under a revoked status. The man said his lawyer was appealing the ruling and admitted he had two drinks at a pool party earlier.
The officer asked him to perform voluntary roadside tests and he agreed. The deputy noted that the man displayed symptoms of different drugs. He asked the man if he would submit to a blood test.
The man said he smoked marijuana a couple days ago and would need to speak to a lawyer first. The deputy said he had to choose if he would submit to a blood test before could consult a lawyer. The man agreed to the test.
Meanwhile, a search of his truck turned up two containers of marijuana, open alcohol containers, a glass marijuana pipe and a small white pill cut in half.
The man was cited for DUI/DUID, open container, possession of less than two ounces of marijuana and paraphernalia, an improperly attached license plate and driving while his license was revoked.
A deputy stopped a 23-year-old man on I-70 in Dotsero after seeing his car weave in its lane on May 14.
The man identified himself with a false Mexican driver license. He said he was visiting a friend in St. Louis, Mo., and going back to Phoenix, Ariz. He also said the car belonged to his friend but he couldn't provide a name or phone number.
Officers asked to search the car and the man agreed. He then admitted his real name and said he had driven illegal aliens to Missouri and Florida. He was previously arrested in Minnesota and deported twice, most recently a year ago.
The deputies took him to jail for possessing a forged instrument, criminal impersonation, driving without a valid license and failing to drive in a single lane.
A deputy stopped a 36-year-old man on Highway 6 in Gypsum when he ran a stop sign on May 15.
The man said he was borrowing the car and didn't know where the paperwork was for it.
He was cited for failing to stop at a stop sign and driving an unregistered vehicle without proof of insurance. The car was impounded.
• A car was damaged on April 12 while it was parked on Price Lane in Gypsum. A tail light was broken and there were scratches around it on the fender. The owner suspected a child riding a bicycle had accidentally crashed into it, since he often saw kids riding bikes in the area and the damage occurred that morning. The damage was estimated to cost $500.
• The back window of a car was shot out with a BB gun around April 19 while it was parked in an Edwards trailer park. The window is estimated to cost $250 to replace.
• An unlocked car had items stolen from it while it was parked on Spring Circle in Gypsum between April 20-21. A set of lock picks in a black zipper case and a flashlight were taken.
• Money was stolen from a car parked in front of the Eagle County Animal Shelter on April 24. A wallet with $200 cash had been removed from a purse in the car. The cash was taken and the wallet was left on the dash.

Model treatment for Alzheimer's
'Person-centered care' for patients with dementia
Published: Sunday, July 7, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 5, 2013 at 2:55 p.m.
The onset of Alzheimer's disease in a loved one can be overwhelming for a spouse and other family members. But, as revealed last Sunday in a poignant Herald-Tribune story by Barbara Peters Smith, a cup of tea, simple acts of kindness and a little ingenuity sometimes can make a world of difference.
Information on dementia and caregiving
• The National Dementia Initiative
• Pines of Sarasota
Main number: (941) 365-0250
1501 N. Orange Avenue, Sarasota 34236
Director of Education Institute: JoAnn Westbrook
• Senior Friendship Centers'
Caregiver Resource Centers
Sarasota: 1820 Brother Geenen Way, Sarasota, 34236
(941) 556-3268
Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
Venice: 2350 Scenic Drive, Venice, 34293
(941) 584-0071
Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Smith wrote of Bob Vago, an Osprey man so devoted to his wife of 62 years that he visits her early every morning, before she awakes, in her room at a local nursing home. He makes her tea and a jam half-sandwich and they chat.
Bob's daily routine with his wife, Kay, helps calm the anxiety common to Alzheimer's sufferers and precludes the need for the nursing home staff to administer antipsychotic drugs.
Such dedication is rare, but Bob is not alone in his struggle to forestall the use of medication that he feels is destructive to Kay's well-being but which is common in the treatment of Alzheimer's.
Efforts to replace antipsychotics with specialized behavioral therapy are underway across the nation and in our own backyard, at The Pines of Sarasota.
As Smith's article notes, the strategy that Bob Vago discovered on his own "is what specialists in the field call 'person-centered care,' which is part of a movement, underway for years in the long-term care business."
A national coalition, the Dementia Initiative, Smith wrote, has called "for a departure from treating dementia mainly as a medical condition," instead placing "a greater emphasis on social support."
Drugs carry risks
Antipsychotic drugs address troublesome behaviors that can accompany dementia, including yelling, wandering, aggression and resisting care. But studies have shown that use of the drugs in older dementia patients can increase the risk of stroke and even death.
For more than 25 years, federal law has required that antipsychotics be used in nursing homes only when necessary to ensure the safety of a resident or others. Yet, surveys have found that more than a quarter of nursing home residents are given antipsychotics. Their use can be even more pronounced in special Alzheimer's units.
Last year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid launched a national initiative to reduce the use of antipsychotics in nursing homes and to substitute behavioral therapy.
Many nursing homes, which are frequently understaffed and put a premium on efficient handling of patients, have been slow to adapt to the recommended changes.
But the Garden Memory Unit at The Pines of Sarasota, a nonprofit nursing home and assisted-living center, has been a pace setter. A 2011 article by Smith detailed creative treatment trends at the Pines that included karaoke, customized song playlists, painted beach scenes and other comforts to calm dementia patients.
The low-cost therapies were so successful at easing patients' agitation that dosages of antipsychotic medications dropped to less than half the state average, Smith noted. The activities also help stroke victims overcome despondency and social withdrawal.
Yet, while The Pines' success is admirable and encouraging, much of the caregiving of Alzheimer's patients is performed not in nursing homes but in private homes, and not by professionals but by family members or close friends.
Help for caregivers
For personal caregivers, help is available.
The Pines Education Institute is a regional training center for professionals and at-home caregivers. The institute provides outreach programs, support, resources and counseling to family members and caregivers.
In addition, Senior Friendship Centers hosts Caregiver Resource Centers in Sarasota and Venice, providing educational and training programs, information on caregiving services, support groups and adult day services.
The trend toward person-centered care is a heartening development in dementia care, a subject of immense significance as national and global populations grow increasingly gray. As medical advances prolong life, a rising tide of Alzheimer's and dementia patients poses an extraordinary challenge.
Bob Vago is meeting his personal challenge with tremendous dignity, patience and love. He and Kay offer a model for families and professionals to emulate.

Consider future with bridges
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 5:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 5:40 p.m.
Soon to begin is a new bridge over Bayou Lafourche at Tiger Drive in Thibodaux. Another is planned as a pedestrian bridge in downtown Thibodaux.
Other bridges up and down stream on the bayou eventually will have to be replaced due to the wear and tear of years of use. Will these new bridges accommodate vessels that must keep our lifeline of freshwater clean and deep?
It is my understanding that the new Tiger Drive bridge will be wide enough for future dredge vessels, but what about height? And just how long into the future will we be stuck with dredge and other maintenance boats that are inadequate to take care of our growing needs for fresh water?
The useful life of a normal bridge is, perhaps, a half century. The state Department of Transportation and local officials must not short change us any longer. We need bridges across Bayou Lafourche that will serve more than just an easy passage from one side to the other. It is either that or keep us bottled up when it comes to providing us with fresh water in the future.
