Court of Appeal: List Narrowed to Three for Position As Judge
Published: Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 5:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 5:12 a.m.
LAKELAND | Two local circuit judges and a lawyer have made a short list to fill a seat on the 2nd District Court of Appeal.
Circuit judges Ellen Masters and Donald Jacobsen and lawyer Stephen Senn each made the list, according to a judicial nominating commission. The commission interviewed 19 applicants and has sent the list to Gov. Rick Scott to consider.
A fourth applicant, Circuit Judge Michael Raiden, who handles felony cases in the 10th Judicial Circuit, which includes Polk, did not make the list.
Masters and Jacobsen also serve in the 10th Judicial Circuit.
Masters, who oversees civil cases, graduated from Stetson University's College of Law and had a private practice before becoming a judge. She was appointed to the county bench in 1999 and the circuit bench in 2002.
Jacobsen, a University of Florida law school graduate, spent more than 20 years handling civil cases as a lawyer. He was appointed to the circuit bench in 1997 and now oversees all Polk County first-degree murder trials.
Senn, a lawyer with Peterson & Myers in Lakeland, earned his law degree from Florida State University. He is a board-certified specialist in appellate practice and has handled a variety of business-oriented cases.

Gender Differences
The Role in the Education & Development of Children and Adolescents
Are boys and girls really so different? There is much that parents and educators can learn about gender differences in cognitive and emotional development that can help them make decisions about school and parenting.
What's all the fuss about gender differences?
Do sex differences matter? How large are the differences between girls and boys? To what extent are those differences hardwired?
How Boys are Disadvantaged
There is a long-standing debate as to whether public school classrooms are better suited for boys or for girls. In fact, our Education.com contributors find that BOTH girls AND boys are disadvantaged when teachers don't understand gender differences. Here is the evidence demonstrating how boys are disadvantaged:
How Girls are Disadvantaged
There is a long-standing debate as to whether public school classrooms are better suited for boys or for girls. In fact, our Education.com contributors find that BOTH girls AND boys are disadvantaged when teachers don't understand gender differences. Here is the evidence demonstrating how girls are disadvantaged:
Should boys and girls be educated in separate classrooms?
A cure for low test scores. A panacea for teen pregnancy. A way to cut down on bullying. Or, a return to the dark ages? Single sex schools have been called all of the above.
- Middle School Boys and Girls Discuss Single-Sex Education
- Exploring Instructional Strategies in Single-Sex Second Grade Classrooms
- A Case in Point: Latina Students in Single Gender Classes
- What are the Academic Outcomes of Students who Attend Single-Sex
- What do Boys and Girls Have to Say About Single-Sex Education?
- Are Single-Sex Classrooms Good for Kids?
- Single-Sex Education
- Separate Classrooms
- Single-Sex Schools Versus Co-ed
- Are Single-Sex Classrooms Better
for Boys?
- Do Boys and Girls Learn Better Apart?
Are boys' and girls' brains really so different?
The most profound difference between girls and boys is not in any brain structure per se, but rather in the sequence of development of the various brain regions.
Do boys and girls cope with stress and emotions differently?
Are girls really more emotional? Research suggests that boys and girls cope with stress differently.
Do boys and girls experience the classroom differently?
There are many documented differences between boys and girls that are evident from birth. Many of these differences play a factor in the ways boys and girls experience education.
Are there differences in boys' and girls' experience of special needs?
Boys are much more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Is this due to biological differences, or have these conditions been defined by more male symptoms?

OAKLAND -- Games first took on a playoff-like feel when the A's arrived in Baltimore in late August, A's manager Bob Melvin said. One can only imagine what it's going to feel like now that the red-hot A's are making their move.
The A's completed a sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday with a 5-1 victory in front of 18,639 at the Coliseum. That marked Oakland's first three-game sweep since June 11-13, when they did the trick against the Yankees.
The A's also moved within one game of the Texas Rangers in the American League West, with the Rangers rolling into town for a three-game series that starts Monday.
"Texas probably brings it to another level," Melvin said of the intensity of games from here on out.
The Rays went from a half-game lead over the A's for the top spot in the wild-card standings Friday to 21/2 games behind Oakland after Sunday's decisive defeat.
Yet, Melvin and his players aren't concerned about a wild-card berth right now. They have their sights set upon defending their A.L. West title.
"That's what we look for," third baseman Josh Donaldson said of the much-awaited series against the Rangers. "We got a chance right now to control our own destiny and hopefully get where we want to be ... and that's winning our division."
The A's and Rangers play six times during the next two weeks. Sunday's winning pitcher, A.J. Griffin, said the A's are capable of beating any team if they play to their potential.
The Rays can attest to that after getting shut down by A's starters three straight games and doing little damage against their relievers.
Jarrod Parker, Sonny Gray and Griffin allowed four runs in 202/3 innings combined.
"We have a really good pitching staff," center fielder Coco Crisp said. "We lean on them. That's been our M.O. since I've been here. It's our backbone. And now we have some scrappy guys here that can kind of help them out when they get in trouble."
Crisp failed to mention the critical role he plays in the A's overall success. Then again, he didn't have to with Melvin and Crisp's teammates trumpeting his importance.
Crisp hit a home run in his final at-bat Saturday night and then added another solo blast leading off the first Sunday.
"What he does to lead off a game like that, all of a sudden the momentum is in our dugout right away," Melvin said.
The Rays tied the score in the second. The A's regained the lead in the third on a Brandon Moss run-scoring single. The score remained that way until catcher Stephen Vogt turned on his former team for the second straight game.
Vogt tripled and scored the game's first run Saturday night. Sunday, he hit a solo home run in the eighth to give the A's an insurance run. He also played a pivotal role defensively.
In the seventh, Rays right fielder Wil Myers laced a two-out double. He then attempted to score on a sharp single by Desmond Jennings.
Left fielder Yoenis Cespedes fielded the ball cleanly and delivered a strike to cutoff man Donaldson, who fired to catcher Vogt.
Myers eluded Vogt's initial tag attempt with a wide slide. However, Vogt alertly tagged Myers before he could touch the plate.
"Defense has always been my No. 1 priority," Vogt said. "Whatever I can do offensively is icing on the cake. Obviously, the home run felt great. It was a big run for us and it was a great personal moment for me."
Vogt has made the most of his opportunity while Derek Norris and John Jaso are injured.
"For a guy who has not played much in the big leagues to be in this type of position right now, playing against his former team like that, he has to feel pretty good," Melvin said. "As do we."
"It wouldn't surprise me if he's taking some batting practice a little bit later in the week," Melvin said. "Once he starts to do that, then it's a day-by-day process."
Reddick said he intends to hit in a batting cage soon, perhaps as soon as Monday.
Norris hit a two-run home run as the designated hitter for Triple-A Sacramento. He is slated to play nine innings at catcher Monday, Melvin said.

Some might say she had it all....she was popular, athletic, a talented pianist and had a loving family.
Angel Joiner was her piano teacher.
"I can't even imagine what her father is going through he loved her so much, that's all he ever talked about," Joiner said.
But it would all come to an end too soon for this ambitious 14-year-old, Mallory Johnson. She was instantly killled after being thrown off her ATV on Saturday.
"Every week when it's time for her to come for her music lesson I'm gonna look for her and she won't be there, it's gonna be very hard to adjust to that," Joiner said.
Angela Joiner watched her grow up, having been Mallory's music instructor since she was just six years old.
"Mallory had become so advanced in the past year her pastor even asked her to play a new church hymn she just learned for their Sunday service, only a day after the tragic accident," Joiner said.
Friends of the family say it happened at her birthday party on Saturday afternoon. They say the ATV was a gift from her father. Offically turning 14 on friday, it would be the last time Angela would see her smiling face.
"She was walking down the hall doing like this, a cute wave going hi, I'm the princess for the day and we all got the biggest laugh out of it," Joiner said.
After coping with the loss of her mother in 2003, Angela says Mallory was just recently coming to terms with her death.
"I guess she was called home to be with her mother, she lost her about two years ago, and I guess God decided to call her home," Joiner said.
The family plans to hold Mallory's funeral service tomorrow at 3 pm at Deep Creek Freewill Baptist church in Jenkins County. That's where Mallory would have played the piano in this morning's service.

Ohio Unveils Its First Liquefied Natural Gas Station Deployed Through the Recovery Act
The U.S. Energy Department announced today the recent opening of the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling station in Ohio. The station will be an important stop along a new series of corridors now being equipped with LNG infrastructure that will enable trucks to ship goods across the country using this alternative fuel. The Obama Administration's investments in early LNG fueling infrastructure, like the Ohio fueling station announced today, are helping to catalyze the privately funded build-out of these corridors. Alternative fuel vehicles and station projects like this one are part of a comprehensive strategy to cut America's dependence on foreign oil, reduce emissions, drive down transportation costs, and help protect American families and businesses from high gasoline and oil prices.
"Fueling more of America's trucks with natural gas offers great promise for reducing America's dependence on oil, creating skilled jobs for American workers, and improving our nation's economic competitiveness and energy security," said David Danielson, Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. "By developing new, cost-effective ways to use abundant, clean, domestic resources, this project represents an important part of President Obama's all-of-the-above energy strategy."
The new station, which celebrated its official grand opening yesterday in Seville, Ohio, was constructed by Clean Energy Fuels. It will support an initial fleet of 10 LNG trucks that are partnering with the station, and is open to any carrier using LNG-powered trucks. The LNG station and vehicles are part of the Ohio Advanced Transportation Partnership project, which received an $11 million Energy Department investment under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The federal funding will be leveraged with more than $18 million in funding from the private sector and other sources. When complete, the Department estimates the project will support another 284 alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles and 39 alternative fuel and charging stations, displacing more than 875,000 gallons of petroleum annually.
The Ohio Advanced Transportation Partnership project is one of 25 alternative fuel and advanced vehicle projects that received nearly $300 million in Recovery Act funds through the Department's Clean Cities initiative. Once completed, these projects will deploy more than 8,000 alternative fuel vehicles and more than 1,500 fueling and charging stations. In addition to natural gas, these Recovery Act projects will expand the use of a broad range of fuel-efficient vehicle technologies, including biodiesel, electric vehicles, ethanol, and propane-fueled vehicles. These investments form a part of President Obama's all-of-the-above strategy to address high gasoline prices and reduce America's dependence on foreign oil. In addition to increasing domestic production and increasing the fuel-efficiency of traditional cars and trucks, the Administration's support for advanced technology vehicles are offering consumers and businesses new, fuel-efficient options for the vehicles and trucks they drive.
The Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) accelerates development and facilitates deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and market-based solutions that strengthen U.S. energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality. Learn more about how EERE's Clean Cities initiative supports a broad portfolio of technologies, including alternative and renewable fuels, fuel economy measures, and idle reduction technologies. Since its inception in 1993, Clean Cities and its stakeholders have decreased the equivalent use of more than three billion gallons of gasoline.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 email@example.com (Carson City, NV; October 8, 2012) – Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller is encouraging Nevadans to ensure that they have up-to-date advance health care directives such as living wills, and that those documents are filed with Nevada's no-cost Living Will Lockbox (www.livingwilllockbox.com) in recognition of National Estate Planning Week, October 15-21. The Living Will Lockbox is the best way to securely store advance health care directives while still having those important documents readily available to health care providers at a time of crisis. "We all deserve to have our end-of-life wishes respected in terms of the type, level, and extent of care we want at critical times," said Miller. "It's through advance care planning like living wills that we can focus on patient care that's based on the patient's expressed wishes." More than 40 hospitals, medical groups such as Healthcare Partners of Nevada and Southwest Medical Associates, and nearly 50 law firms throughout Nevada work with the Living Will Lockbox. "Healthcare and legal professionals are aware of the program and understand its value," said Miller. "We want the general public to see the value of this service, and I encourage them to ask their trusted family doctor or attorney about the value of advance healthcare directives. And once they have those documents, or if they already have them, we want them to take advantage of the no-cost Living Will Lockbox." The Living Will Lockbox was launched in March 2008, and since then, nearly 6,000 Nevadans have registered their advanced directives in the lockbox. Use of the Living Will Lockbox is free to all Nevadans and registering, either as an individual or as a preferred provider of health care, is very simple. By visiting www.livingwilllockbox.com, Nevadans can download the registration forms and send the completed forms and documents to be filed with the Living Will Lockbox to the Nevada Secretary of State. Those without internet access can request to receive the registration forms by mail at 702-486-2887. Hospitals, hospices and other care giving institutions can also register online in order to immediately access the directives of their patients. Once registered, individuals will receive a wallet-size card with their password for accessing their advance directives. Changes to the documents may be made at any time through a simple procedure similar to the registration process. For more information or questions regarding the Living Will Lockbox, visit www.livingwilllockbox.com or call (702) 486-2887.

Printing Postage from Home
One of the nicest features of selling on eBay is the ability to print prepaid postage labels from home. This same feature is available for all of your shipping needs and can save you a considerable amount of time.
There are a variety of methods to print your own postage at home. The United States Postal Service allows customers to print postage right from their website. Countless third-party vendors offer products and services to print postage from home as well. These options tend to be more expensive than just the postage itself, but allow photos to be added to customized stamps, packages to be weighed and postage calculated automatically, or professional-looking postage labels to be made.
Whichever method you choose, printing your own postage saves you from having to go to the post office. Not only can you print postage from anywhere at any time, but there's also no lines to wait in when you print from home. So you save yourself the trip to the post office and the time you would have spent waiting in line. You also get to customize your purchase with just those options you want.
Once your package has the appropriate postage on it, you can drop it off at the post office or at a USPS Mailbox location. Since those options both require you to leave your home, the preferred method is to just hand the package to your mail carrier during his or her daily delivery. You can also schedule a pickup through the USPS website. Doing so will ensure that your mail carrier comes to your door after delivering your mail.
Just as online banking has all but eliminated the need to bank in person, printing postage online means that you never have to go to the post office again. Saving yourself time and energy are great reasons to consider printing postage from home.
Have you tried printing your own postage?

Yes, I have printed my own postage for packages sent from an Ebay
sale. I love it! However, I wonder what would happen if the weight
is miscalculated to the underside. Does the recipient have to make
up the difference or is the package/letter sent back to the sender?
So far I have not had a problem as far as I know.

I've been using Android 4.4 KitKat for a few weeks now and the only part of it I don't particularly like is how Hangouts tries to combine SMS with what was previously Google Talk. There's also several functional parts of the UI that really frustrate me.
The "swipe" gesture to archive a Hangout is fine… but more than once I've accidentally archived Hangouts trying to swipe to the list of recent hangouts. This is a hit area problem: if you don't swipe accurately enough, you start deleting, er, "archiving" Hangouts. And if you don't hit undo immediately, they then seem gone forever.
But the real problem with Hangouts is the seemingly inconsistent searching of contacts between the phone app and Hangouts. Yesterday I watched my wife almost go crazy trying to send an SMS to her sister in law. When she searched for her name in the phone app, it was there no problem: but nothing came up when she searched in Hangout except for Google+ people. And tapping on any contact in the phone app simply calls them. There is no long hold interaction which seems very strange. After both of us fiddling around with the Nexus 5 we finally worked out if you tap on the contact photo and NOT the contact name, you then get more detail and the option of sending an SMS to that number.
Again, why there isn't a long hold here really baffles me: surely that's a very natural interaction for getting more details within an contact context?
Of course when I tried to replicate this contact issue with the same person on my Nexus, our sister in law came up no problem on my Hangouts (with phone number). But I found the identical problem with another contact:
The same contact appears in both the phone and Hangouts app, but Hangouts doesn't give me an option to send an SMS — only a Hangout chat.
The inconsistency here really interests me. Is this genuinely a design flaw, or are Google doing their utmost to try and push Hangout chats over traditional SMS? It would make sense for Google to be pushing Hangouts over SMS, and as an end user with a data plan I then wouldn't have to worry about SMS costs (especially when it comes to messaging people abroad). And with the news today of Facebook buying WhatsApp, Google trying to catch up with Hangouts would obviously be strategic.
So the question still remains: is this confusing and inconsistent contact searching on Android 4.4 on purpose or is it just bad UI design? Knowing Google, I suspect it's probably the latter.

Beautiful program with lots of potential. Support for lots of useful programs, and an included editor so you can create additional scripts for unsupported applications.
IMO this is the best "interface" for a Mac HTPC so far

On Top of the Game
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 2:41:19 PM in Patek Philippe (29)
Patek Philippe, the globally acclaimed Swiss watch manufacture, is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of watchmaking. That said, the company continues to invest heavily in Advanced Research for making more precise watches in thinner more elegant cases. The adage "If you're not moving up, you're going down" rings true in the dynamic environment of Patek Philippe's Geneva workshop and administrative headquarters. As fourth generation and current President Thierry Stern puts it, "We are at the top now, sure, and we could last maybe ten more years without trying something new, but after that we would fall if we did not continue to push things forward." Patek Philippe's competitive edge comes from its focus on authentic precise instruments that offer real substance – top-class aesthetics, innovative modern technology, and unchallenged technical functionality that springs from four generations of legendary watchmaking experience. With its undying drive for excellence, the company's trailblazing streak is surely tough to beat.

WHY I CHOSE SANTA CLARA: I chose Santa Clara for many reasons. First, the men's soccer team is continuously successful year after year. My club soccer coach is very good friends with Coach Yamamoto, and always speaks very highly of him and the rest of the coaching squad. I look forward to joining the team and hopefully winning the WCC. I also wanted to attend a challenging Jesuit college known for its academics like Santa Clara. I will probably enroll in SCU's college of business, which is one of the top programs in the country. Lastly, I have many aunts and cousins who live about an hour away from Santa Clara. I love the area of the campus and my cousins highly recommend the school and will hopefully be able to watch me play for the Broncos soon.

They are the hottest selling items in urban clothing stores, t-shirts bearing the image of an angry snowman made popular by rapper Young Jeezy. In this special assignment, News 12 is on your side to explain the hidden message behind the snowman and how wearing the shirt could land your child in big trouble.
Rapper Young Jeezy's hit album, Let's Get It, is topping the charts and flying off the shelves at local music stores.
"He has one of the hottest selling CD's now," Mona Gordon.
Jeezy, the self-admitted drug dealer turned rapper, has popularized the image of a snowman. The image is seen on the cover of his album and on shirts being sold across the country. But look closely, this is no typical snowman. This one has a menacing expression. It's an image many say also has a dangerous meaning.
"It has certain associations with illegal activity," Gordon said.
That's right, on the streets the snowman is a term used for someone who sells snow, or cocaine. If you listen to Jeezy's lyrics, he says, "I'm iced out, plus I got that snow, man." Even in this clip you can see the rapper is performing as snow is falling around him. And the shirts have become so popular that hundreds of students are wearing them, but most parents have no clue about their meaning.
"If I were just to look at it, I would not even think to read it and think anything about it," said Anne Fulcher.
But after learning the meaning of the snowman, Walter Reaves, principal at Butler High School, immediately decided to ban them.
"One kid said Dr. Reaves, what does this snowman mean? I looked at him and said you know what it means," Reaves said.
And just a week later, all Richmond County schools followed suit.
"When the superintendent understood what this was all about through his deputy, put out an email saying these types of shirts were not allowed," Reaves said.
According to the Richmond County dress code, students are not allowed to wear any clothing that in any way promotes or advertises the use of narcotics or any other illegal drugs. But some students think the snowman shouldn't apply to this rule because they say wearing the shirt isn't promoting drugs.
"We support a rapper, that's all we are doing is wearin' a t-shirt, supporting a rapper," one student said.
"I ain't doing it, so I don't really see why I can't wear it. I ain't got snow," another student said.
But Sam Lilly disagrees. He coaches football at T.W. Josey High School and he says banning the shirts is a smart move.
"Well, they'll tell you 'I don't sell drugs, it's just a shirt.' And I'll say doesn't mean drug dealer, well yeah, but I don't see drugs, it's just a shirt," Lilly said.
Coach Lilly says wearing the snowman may be the latest hip-hop trend, but it's one that has dangerous consequences.
"You can get seen by somebody who thinks you're a drug dealer on his block and get shot. A lot of things can happen with having a shirt like that on," Lilly said.
And surprisingly, not all parents feel that their child should be told what to wear.
"I teach my kids, I don't let the clothes make my kids," said Craig Meyers.
And as Young Jeezy continues to soar to success, not just Richmond, but Aiken and Columbia County schools are steadily cracking down on Jeezy's frozen friend. Several students say it's a price their willing to pay to support their favorite rapper.
"I'm going to wear mine regardless of what the principal say or not," one student said.
School officials in Richmond County tell News 12 the first time students wear the shirts they are warned and told to change. If there's a second offense, they face suspension.

- On the Defense
$45.99Free with:
46CLUB LAX Points
with Lars Tiffany, Brown University Head Men's Lacrosse Coach
Coach Tiffany presents a step-by-step development of the fundamentals of man down defense. He begins with a discussion on personnel. Man down defense relies on anticipation of skip lanes and the ability to knock down passes and shots. Tiffany has created a catalog of drills that can help identify and improve the personnel for man down defense.
The 2 v 1 knock down drill works on the drop step technique and the 4 v 2 drill puts two defenders in an urgent situation and requires communication and changing positions.
The 5 v 3 drill addresses the skip lanes.
A drill to develop offense and man down defensive technique is the 3v2/4v3/5v4 drill.
A section on terminology is important to define all-important verbal calls in lacrosse.

A busy and crowded camp, Nuseirat is currently home to more than 66,000 refugees. Set in the middle of the Gaza Strip, Nuseirat is very near Bureij and Maghazi camps.
Nuseirat, which takes its name from a local Bedouin tribe, initially accommodated 16,000 refugees who fled from the southern districts of Palestine after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, including the coast and Be'er Sheva. Before the camp was formed, refugees had to live in a former British military prison in the area.
The blockade on Gaza has made life more difficult for nearly all refugees in the camp, which now has extremely high unemployment. Far fewer families can provide for themselves and a staggering proportion of the population dependent on UNRWA's food and cash assistance.
Ninety per cent of the water is unfit for human consumption, so basic hygiene is another great concern.

Genocide: It's Happening in Sudan
Count Up the Casualties
What We Canand CannotDo
Genocide is defined as destroying people because of their ethnicity or race. It is the ultimate racism. As you read this, Sudan's government is allowing, if not encouraging, genocide.
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell is convinced this is true and has told Congress. International law—to which the U.S. has agreed—requires a response to crimes of such magnitude.
Why has this situation escalated now? Both sides in this crisis have a long history in Sudan. Most are Muslim. Those threatened with extinction—among them the Catholic minority—are black. Their executioners—called Janjaweed—do the will of the Sudanese government in Khartoum, led by President Omar el-Bashir, who seized power 15 years ago. Bashir is Arab and Muslim, as are all people with power in Sudan.
Almost two years ago, rebels in Darfur (which encompasses one fifth of Sudan's expanse) rose up to protest the misuse of his power—with force, admittedly. The result has been an effort to eliminate not only the rebels, but also every citizen of black African ancestry.
Count Up the Casualties
Last August John Ricard, S.S.J., bishop of Pensacola-Tallahassee and chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee for International Justice and Peace, made a humanitarian fact-finding mission to Sudan. What did he learn?
More than a million people are displaced—Sudanese citizens still in Sudan or in Chad, which borders Darfur, Sudan's agricultural region.
They cling to life, said Bishop Ricard in a telephone press conference last August, "in very difficult conditions under a hot blazing sun with little or no access to medicines or food, with exposure to all the elements and with a very clear need for security."
Bishop Ricard's delegation met with Darfurian tribal spokesmen in Nyala, a refugee camp. When the men's delegation emerged, a less formal delegation of mothers crowded around the bishop. These women had but one request: "Food for our children! Food for our children!" It will come too late for many.
The numbers overwhelm. Some comparisons may help. Dead: the equivalent of the entire population of Galveston, Texas. Displaced: the equivalent of the entire population of Chicago.
Why is the Church present and concerned? Bishop Ricard said, "The Church is involved because the Church is concerned with anyone who suffers. It's not a matter of helping these people because they're Catholic or Christian, but that we are Catholic and our faith compels us." The United Nations calls the situation the "greatest humanitarian crisis of our times."
What We Canand CannotDo
It would be imprudent for the United States to intervene militarily in Sudan. President Bashir despises our government because the U.S. intervened in Iraq. Our government has no use for him because he harbored Osama bin Laden for six years.
Our interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq are perceived as hostility toward Arabs and Muslims. But government and individual citizens can act politically, prayerfully and with charity. We must.
1. Political strategies. We can support Secretary of State Colin Powell. Bishop Ricard has recommended that our government cooperate with and encourage the U.N. to deploy monitors and strengthen the fledgling African Union's ability to do the same.
The U.N. must put teeth into its deadlines for action, despite the objections and Security Council abstentions of Algeria, China, Pakistan and Russia. (These nations fear that international aid to Darfur will be blocked if Sudan's leadership is further antagonized. They probably fear that oil exports will be stalled as well.)
Our national leaders have approved $95 million in relief. We can urge them to release that money now. We can reiterate the USCCB's recommendation of the appointment of a presidential envoy for peace—who would act as a catalyst to end the crisis in Darfur and seek a nonviolent, political solution between Bashir's government and the Darfurian rebels.
2. Prayerful intercessions. St. Josephine Bakhita (1869-1947) was born in Darfur, captured by Arab traders and sold as a slave. She experienced the tensions which have now exploded in Sudan. We can invoke her aid. We can fast in solidarity with the people of Darfur. We can confront—and repent of—our own racism and prejudices.
3. Charitable outreach. Catholic Relief Services has worked in Sudan for 30 years, collaborating with other faith-based agencies. CRS is working to overcome rain and impassable roads to bring $1 million in relief to the refugees in three camps serving 37,000 refugees. That pledge must be backed by our contributions. We can encourage our parishes to keep the specter of genocide in Sudan before us—from the pulpit, through public prayer, through collections to support CRS efforts.
In all that we do, we must remember Sudan's human face. No crops could be planted. Famine will continue until the farmers of Darfur return to their land. The bounty we experience this Thanksgiving must be shared with the hungry refugees of Sudan who have left their own tables in fear. C.A.M.

|Accredited by American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer
|Accredited in Radiation Oncology by American College of Radiology
Comprehensive Breast Center
Multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, nutritionists and pharmacists
Darren, undefeated
It started with a sore throat that would not go away. When the pain persisted, Darren Danico, of Malden, a healthy man in his early 40's visited a medical center in Boston and learned the severe discomfort was caused by B cell lymphoma, a cancerous mass growing in his neck. Darren wanted a second opinion so he travelled across town to Dana Farber Cancer Institute who confirmed the diagnosis.
"I was shocked. I've always been a fighter and my first thought was I will beat this," Danico firmly recalls. "I was all set to go into Boston to start my treatments when I saw an ad for Hallmark Health System's Hematology and Oncology Center that was just up the road. I thought if I liked it, it would save me a lot of time and frustration commuting into Boston. I met with Rebecca Eisenberg, MD who confirmed the diagnosis and I felt a strong rapport with her. She listened and answered all of my questions. From the moment I entered that Center I had a strong feeling that this was the place where I would get better."
Hallmark Health System's Hematology and Oncology Center offers comprehensive diagnostic treatment and support programs for individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer and blood disorders. The modern Center houses a dedicated team of highly- qualified, board-certified oncologists and hematologists who use the latest and most advanced cancer treatments available. They follow a unified approach to cancer care where teams of physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, pharmacists and medical technologists work together to guide each patient through the challenges of diagnosis, treatment and recovery. These teams are unsurpassed in their depth of experience and their level of compassionate care.
"I admit the treatment was rough and I'm a pretty tough guy. If I flinched they would stop. All of the nurses and staff are very welcoming and attentive to the patient. One of the oncology nurses, Darlene Hancock, RN, even called me on a Sunday to see how I was doing when I was going through a particularly rough time," Danico said.
Thanks to the advanced care he received, Danico beat the cancer and it is in remission. He has started a new career in the insurance industry, lost some weight and has a new attitude toward life that puts a premium on family, friends and pursuing a satisfying career. His wife, Susan, senses his new spirit. "I am so grateful to Hallmark Health System and Dr. Eisenberg for the great care they gave my husband. They saved his life."
Once only available in academic health centers, state of the art cancer care is now available in your community at the Hallmark Health System Hematology and Oncology Center. The Hallmark Health System Hematology and Oncology Center is a comprehensive cancer program providing patients with a range of state of the art services delivered with compassionate care. The Hematology and Oncology Center is comprised of the CHEM Center for Radiation Oncology and the Hematology Oncology Center. Hallmark Health System is proud to provide patients local access to renowned oncologists and the latest cancer treatment and support options.
Cancer is a complex disease that brings extraordinary challenges to patients and their families. New diagnostic techniques discover cancers earlier for a better chance of cure, and treatments are now more effective than ever.
Our Mission
The mission of the HHS Hematology and Oncology Center is to provide state of the art comprehensive and compassionate care to all of our patients in a community setting. We strive to meet the physical and emotional needs of our patients and their families.
About Us
Stoneham, MA 02180
The Hematology and Oncology Center offers comprehensive diagnostic, treatment and support programs for individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer and blood disorders.
Our dedicated team is built around highly qualified, board certified oncologists and hematologists. We have a unified approach to cancer care, with teams of doctors, as well as nurse practitioners, social workers, pharmacists and medical technologists who work together to guide each patient through diagnosis, treatment and recovery. These teams have a depth and breadth of experience that is unsurpassed.
While some cancer patients receive several types of treatments including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, biotherapy and/ or surgery, no two patients are alike. That is why our Center takes the team approach to create a customized, individual care plan for each patient. Our medical oncologists work closely with surgeons, primary care physicians and radiation oncologists to make sure that each patient receives the best care possible. We take particular pride in the compassion and dedication of our doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff.
CHEM Center for Radiation Oncology
48 Montvale Avenue
Stoneham, MA 02180
The CHEM Center was the first free standing radiation oncology site in the state and is an integral part of the Hallmark Health System Hematology and Oncology Center. About 50 percent of all cancer patients receive radiation therapy to treat their disease.
The radiation oncology team is led by board certified radiation oncologists who are nationally recognized in their field. These physicians are assisted by a team of professionals including physicists, nurses and therapists who will work closely with all of your physicians to assure that you receive the best treatment possible.
Treatment Services
We offer a full range of the most up to date diagnostic studies and therapeutic treatments available today.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs or chemicals to treat an illness or disease. Many drugs are used to treat cancer, and not all cancers are treated with the same drugs or in the same way. Research has helped determine the most effective drugs for different kinds of cancers. You may receive one drug or a combination of drugs.
Chemotherapy treatments are administered either as an inpatient or an outpatient. Patients receiving chemotherapy meet with an oncology nurse who discusses the process of treatment and what might be expected. Our specially trained oncology nurses administer chemotherapy and collaborate with your physician and pharmacy to minimize and control side effects of the treatment.
Radiation Oncology
Radiation Oncology is the use of high energy x-rays to treat disease, primarily cancer, either by destroying cancer cells or by making them unable to grow and divide.
In external beam radiation therapy, a machine called a linear accelerator is used to produce a beam of x-rays that is precisely directed to the tumor or the part of the body being treated. The CHEM Center for Radiation Oncology has two linear accelerators.
Our Center offers the latest in state-of-the-art conformal radiation oncology techniques, including Intensity Modulate Radiation Therapy (IMRT), an advanced computer controlled method of treating certain tumors with millimeter precision. The CHEM Center also utilizes the latest in treatment guidance, called Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT). IGRT allows the precise targeting of the treatment beam on a daily basis for structures like the prostate. The use of IGRT in combination with IMRT for treatment of the prostate permits the Radiation Oncologist to significantly reduce the risk of complications while maintaining confidence in the therapeutically effective dose delivery.
Surgical Oncology
In addition to serving as an important role in diagnosing cancer, in many cases, surgery is also a highly effective treatment. Hallmark Health surgeons combine years of experience with the latest advances in surgical techniques to aggressively and successfully treat many cancer types. Our surgeons collaborate with a multidisciplinary oncology team comprised of veteran pathologists, oncologists and radiation oncologists to plan the least invasive surgery required to address the cancer while preserving as much normal function as possible
Oncology Nursing
Our oncology nurses are specially trained to care for cancer patients and their families. They work with your doctor to manage your care by monitoring your physical and emotional health, giving your treatment, teaching you and your family how to prevent complications, decrease side effects, providing emotional support and comfort. Each patient's customized treatment plan is coordinated by an experienced oncology nurse to ensure that the patient is always aware of and involved in the treatment choices, process and progress.
Biotherapy is a type of treatment that works with your immune system. It can help fight cancer or help control side effects from other cancer treatments like chemotherapy.
Biotherapy and chemotherapy are both treatments that fight cancer. Biotherapy helps your immune system fight cancer. Chemotherapy attacks the cancer cells directly. Researchers are not sure how biotherapy helps your immune system fight cancer. But they feel that it may stop or slow the growth of cancer cells; make it easier for your immune system to destroy, or get rid of cancer cells; and keep cancer from spreading to other parts of your body.
Palliative Care
The team understands the many aspects of illness as it enters its more serious stages. This includes physical, psychosocial, spiritual and emotional care and support for patients and their families. The goal is to provide the best possible quality of life and comfort with everyday activities.

Genetic Counseling and Testing
The Social Work staff along with our medical oncologists at the Hematology and Oncology Center provide genetic counseling and testing for breast and colon cancer.
Nutrition Counseling from a Registered Dietitian
Your team will also include nutritional counseling. They are there to help each patient achieve and maintain desirable body weight as well as to prevent nutritional imbalances and deficiencies in diet. Special considerations are given to patient and family education
Healing Atmosphere
The Hematology and Oncology Center is devoted exclusively to the treatment and care of patients and encourages participation of the patient's support system. Decorated to create a warm and comforting atmosphere for patients and families, the Hematology and Oncology Center provides patients a place to feel comfortable and enjoy the friendship and encouragement of other patients. The area includes examination rooms; family conference room; private chemotherapy treatment bays and rooms; a patient and community resource room; and offices for physicians and support staff.
Diagnostic Capabilities
A highly accurate, rapid diagnosis is the critical first step in healing. For that reason, Hallmark Health System offers a full range of diagnostic imaging.
Diagnostic capabilities include PET/CT scanning, MRI, ultrasound, digital mammography, nuclear medicine (including sentinel node procedures) and gastrointestinal procedures to detect cancer or precancerous conditions, tumors, or to assess the spread of the disease.
PET/CT is conveniently located in the same building as the Hematology / Oncology Center. Our address is: Montvale PET/CT, Stoneham Outpatient Campus, 41 Montvale Avenue, Stoneham, MA, 02180. Appointments are available Mon, Wed, Thurs and Fri. Call 866-245-5995 to schedule an appointment. The combination of PET/CT scans in one image gives doctors the ability to precisely pinpoint where and how active a tumor might be. PET/CT enhances your physician's ability to develop a treatment plan that fits both the cancer and the patient.
If something abnormal is found on the mammogram, a biopsy may be required. A biopsy is the only way to know if cancer is present. The hospitals at Hallmark Health System perform several types of biopsies depending on the position and size of a suspicious lump: stereotactic biopsy; surgical biopsy; core needle biopsy; fine needle aspirations; as well as sentinel-node biopsies.
Keeping Pace with the Latest Advances in Care
Hallmark Health System offers the most up-to-date cancer care through its affiliations and close work with the American Cancer Society (ACS), the American College of Surgeons (ACOS), and the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC). These cooperative relationships provide ongoing education programs, and access to research protocols so we can continue to deliver the most up-to-date treatments and support for our patients.
Additionally, Hallmark Health System's Cancer Care Program has received a three-year approval with commendation from the Commission on Cancer (COC) of the American College of Surgeons (ACOS). The program received this honor following an on-site evaluation that resulted in a commendation level of compliance with one or more standards that represent the full scope of the cancer program. The criteria fulfilled by the Cancer Care Program includes:
- The program's ability to treat a minimum of 650 new patients per year
- Being able to offer a full range of diagnostic and treatment services on site or by referral
- The ability to participate in clinical research

At Memorial Sloan Kettering, surgeons are the first point of contact for people with lung cancer. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are now commonly used to remove lung tumors, significantly reducing the length of time that patients have to stay in the hospital, and lessening discomfort following the procedure. Many tumors can be removed by making a tiny incision in the chest and inserting a thoracoscope, a flexible tube that is used not only to examine the inside of the chest but also to remove tissue.
Doctors are also evaluating the effectiveness of robotic surgery in people with lung cancer.
Surgeons at Memorial Sloan Kettering perform more than 600 lung operations annually. They work closely with a team of highly trained nurses, pulmonologists, pathologists, interventional radiologists, and other lung cancer specialists to ensure that people receive the best care possible.
