BERKELEY -- Spain's Noche Flamenca will bring pain, pathos and the passion of premier flamenco performers to a one-night engagement at Zellerbach Hall on Feb. 8.
Celebrated for its "expressive tension" (The New York Times) and recognized as a leader in the art form, the 20-year old company operates under the collaborative vision of artistic director Martín Santangelo and co-founder, Soledad Barrio.
The husband-and-wife team fuse their histories to create a whirlwind of authentic song, instrumentation and dance.
Santangelo, the son of an Argentine mother, grew up in New York City and pursued his studies internationally. Barrio took command of flamenco's exquisitely syncopated rhythms and classical Spanish dance in her homeland, Madrid.
In an email interview, Santangelo explained the company's aesthetic and the purpose he finds in flamenco's "rebel cry."
"When we are beaten upon, we scream out," Santangelo says. "Originally, as in any cultural musical movement, the initial instrument was the human voice due to the itinerant circumstance of (the) groups."
At the inception of the Spanish Inquisition in the mid-15th century, Arabs, Sephardic Jews and Gypsies experienced extraordinary repression. Transporting instruments was difficult, both physically and logistically, so the people's "screams" developed into a rich, poetic combination of human voice and guitar.
The flamenco "conte," or song, was an auditory coupling governed by strict, rhythmic cycles and set free by improvisational license for the performers.
Flamenco dance evolved organically, in lock-step with the genre's inherently fluid music, during the 18th century. Highly influenced by European folk dance and performed with the elongated, upright posture of ballet, fiery footwork and spectacular solos are mainstays.
"The real motor of flamenco is the song: the guitar (player) and dancer really exist to interpret and express what the singer is singing," Santangelo insists.
But it's not Barrio's command of the technical aspects of a "Siguiriya" (an essential form of flamenco repertoire) that earns her the "Baryshnikov of flamenco" title. And it's not the splendid sonorities of the company's Manuel Gago or the dexterous guitar playing of Eugenio Iglesias that burns a hole in a listener's heart.
"Flamenco speaks about profound and basic human emotions," Santangelo says. "Those emotions exist within us all, no matter the cultural differences. I believe the most important aspect is, by the end of the show, if the (audience) has felt a catharsis. If they have not, I have not done my job correctly."
As an artistic director of an international touring company -- the dancers are based in Spain, the nonprofit company's registration and representation is in the United States -- Santangelo sees opportunity and challenge in an increasingly global community.
"All arts or musical phenomena now have the possibility to influence one another," he says. We are forced to find our function and identity within this. That is a gigantic change."
Technological innovations have an impact as well: improving sound amplification capabilities while simultaneously escalating audience expectations.
But none of these elements overpower Santangelo's overall mission.
"If the audience is just 'wowed' by the footwork or other artificial aspects of flamenco, then I might as well be selling Coca Cola," he says. "Flamenco was born because folks needed a catharsis to be able to get (on) with their lives. That is its function."
Noche Flamenca
Martín Santangelo and his wife Soledad Barrio bring Noche Flamenca to Zellerbach Hall at UC Berkeley at 8 p.m. Feb. 8. Tickets and details are online at www.calperfs.berkeley.edu.

Renzi Asks Ninth Circuit For Rehearing On 'Speech Or Debate'
Former Rep. Rick Renzi of Arizona has asked a federal appeals court to rehear arguments that corruption charges against him should be dismissed because the Justice Department violated a constitutional clause that prevents members of Congress from being questioned about their legislative actions.
Last month, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected Renzi's assertion that protections for legislative "speech or debate" walled him off from prosecution for allegedly promising to pass legislation in return for a land deal he ultimately benefited from.
The petition Thursday requests that the full Ninth Circuit hear the arguments and render an opinion. Failing that, Renzi's Washington-based lawyers at Steptoe & Johnson LLP and Nixon Peabody LLP could appeal the panel's June 23 ruling to the Supreme Court.
The petition notes that the panel's ruling conlficts with a 2007 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which found that an FBI search of the Capitol Hill offices of former Rep. William J. Jefferson (D., La.) had violated the clause.
The Ninth Circuit's decision "permits abusive investigations of legislators and renders congressional documents freely discoverable by parties in all manner of civil and regulatory litigation," the petition says. A rehearing en banc would offer the court "a valuable opportunity to restore national uniformity in the application of the Speech or Debate Clause."
The ruling marked a major victory for the Justice Department, whose corruption prosecutors have been stymied by invocations of the "speech or debate" clause in recent investigations of members of Congress, as The Washington Post reported here.
Renzi, who was indicted in 2008, is accused of promising to enact legislation for firms seeking rights to land near Phoenix, on the condition that they purchased property owned by a businessman who owed him $700,000. The businessman paid Renzi the money, but the legislation never passed.

MUMBAI: The growth in the Indian insurance industry has not kept pace with the economy in `03-04. The contribution of insurance to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) has slipped from 3.3% last year to 2.9% during the current financial year. This is in contrast to the international trend where the ratio of world insurance premium to global GDP has improved from 3.4% to 3.5%.
Both the life and non-life insurance businesses have contributed to the decline. The contribution of life insurance premium to GDP has come down to 2.3% from 2.6% a year ago while the contribution of non-life insurance has declined to 0.6% from 0.7%.

The Incredible PBX: Adding Multiple Google Voice Trunks
About the only drawback to Google Voice's free U.S. and Canada calling with the Incredible PBX has been the fact that you could only make one outbound call at a time... at least on Google's nickel. So today we'll fix that, and you can enjoy simultaneous outbound calls using as many Google Voice trunks as you have signed up for. If you're in the U.S., you're eligible and no invitation is required. Just head over to the Google Voice site to register.
Today's Incredible PBX enhancement also will permit you to set up multiple inbound DIDs for different area codes across the country which may save your out-of-town friends and relatives a little change when they want to contact you. And to think we had $200 a month phone bills in our college days just to call the hometown honey. The wonders of modern technology!
Prerequisites. Here's what you'll need to get started today. First, you need a functioning Incredible PBX. So start by installing Incredible PBX. Second, you'll need a second Google Voice account. And finally, you'll need an additional SIPgate One number.
Installation Assumptions. We'll walk you through the steps to get a second account activated with the Incredible PBX. If you need more than two, just repeat the steps below and substitute a new number for 2 in every step. As with baking cookies, if you skip a step, the cookies taste like crap. 🙂 For security reasons, we're using an additional SIPgate One account for the second setup. This avoids having to open up SIP access in your firewall which would require additional locking down of IPtables to specific SIP IP addresses.
Setting Up New SIPgate and Google Voice Accounts. As was true with the initial Incredible PBX setup, the first steps in activating a second line are to create and configure your SIPgate account and then tie that number into your new Google Voice account. For ease of reference, we've repeated below the pertinent portions of the original Nerd Vittles article.
Configuring SIPgate. If you live in the U.S. and have a cellphone, we'd recommend the SIPgate option since no adjustment of your hardware-based firewall is required. Otherwise, skip to the IPkall setup below. Step #1 is to request a SIPgate invite at this link. You'll need to enter your U.S. cellphone number to receive the SMS message with your invitation code. Don't worry. You can erase your cellphone number from your account once it is set up and working properly. Once you receive the invite code, enter it and choose the option to set up a residential account. Next, choose a phone number and write it down. The area code really doesn't matter because Google Voice is the only one that will be calling this number after we get things set up. For now, leave your cellphone number in place so that you can receive your confirmation call from Google Voice in the next step. After that, you'll want to revisit SIPgate and remove all parallel calling numbers. Finally, click on the Settings link and write down your SIP ID and SIP Password. You'll need these in a few minutes to complete the configuration of The Incredible PBX. Now place a call to your new SIPgate number and make certain that your cellphone rings before proceeding.
Configuring Google Voice. Once you've signed up for a new Google Voice account, choose a telephone number and plug in your new SIPgate number as the destination for your Google Voice calls and choose Office as the Phone Type.
Google Voice will place a test call to your number which SIPgate will forward to your cellphone. Enter the two-digit code that's displayed when you're prompted to do so.
While you're still in Google Voice Settings, click on the Calls tab. Make sure your settings match these:
- Call Screening - OFF
- Call Presentation - OFF
- Caller ID (In) - Display Caller's Number
- Caller ID (Out) - Don't Change Anything
- Do Not Disturb - OFF
Click Save Changes once you adjust your settings. Under the Voicemail tab, plug in your email address so you get notified of new voicemails. Down the road, receipt of a Google Voice voicemail will be a big hint that something has come unglued on your PBX.
Once you've confirmed your Google Voice number, revisit SIPgate and remove all parallel calling numbers including your cell number. Be sure you've written down your SIPid and SIPpassword while you're there!
FreePBX Overview. Don't be intimidated by the FreePBX setup instructions which follow. All we're really doing is cloning the original pieces of information that made Google Voice work in the initial Incredible PBX setup. For most of the items, we'll just tack a 2 onto the names previously used. Nothing prevents your adding 3, 4, and 5 accounts down the road if you have additional Google Voice and SIPgate accounts to support each iteration.
To begin, use a web browser to open FreePBX on your Incredible PBX. Using the actual private IP address of your server, go to the following link: http://192.168.0.33/admin.
Adding Parking Lot Slots. As originally configured, the Incredible PBX provides 5 parking lot slots for use on your PBX. These are numbers that let you temporarily "park" calls so that they can be picked up on another extension. One of those slots (75) is used by the Incredible PBX to place outbound Google Voice calls. If you want the ability to place simultaneous outbound Google Voice calls using multiple trunks, then we need additional parking lot slots for each simultaneous call. We recommend bumping up the number of parking lot slots from 5 to 9. Then you can use 75-79 for up to 5 simultaneous outbound calls with Google Voice. Here's how. In FreePBX, choose Setup, Parking Lot, Number of Slots: 9. Your entries should look like this screen shot:
When you've made the change, click Submit Changes, Apply Configuration Changes, Continue with Reload.
Creating Additional Custom Destinations. You'll recall that Google Voice actually places two calls when you make an outbound call. First, Google Voice calls you back. Then Google Voice places a call to your desired destination. The callback to you is handled transparently in Incredible PBX using pygooglevoice and Asterisk®'s parking lot feature. To handle multiple simultaneous calls, you'll need additional custom destinations. Here's how. In FreePBX, choose Tools, Custom Destinations, Add Custom Destination. Then make your new entries for custom-park2 look like this:
When you've made the entries and carefully checked them, click Submit Changes, Apply Configuration Changes, Continue with Reload.
Creating Additional Inbound Routes. Now we need an additional Inbound Route to handle the second incoming call generated by Google Voice. Here's how. In FreePBX, choose Setup, Inbound Routes, Add Incoming Route, gv-ringback2. Make the entries shown in the screenshot below substituting your 10-digit SIPgate/IPkall and Google Voice numbers in the appropriate fields. Be sure to choose Custom GV-Park2 as the Custom Destination for this Inbound Route. Check your entries carefully, a typo here will kill completion of the calls!
When you've made the entries and carefully checked them, click Submit, Apply Configuration Changes, Continue with Reload.
Creating Additional Custom Trunks. With every telephony provider, Asterisk needs a Trunk. In the case of Google Voice, we need a Custom Trunk for each Google Voice number to be used on your Incredible PBX. Think of a trunk as the bucket where Asterisk dumps an outbound call for processing. Two calls require two buckets. Three calls, three buckets. And so on. Well, that's almost true. Some providers can handle multiple calls, but Google Voice doesn't. So we need to make two changes in your trunk setup. First, we'll adjust the original Custom Trunk for Google Voice and limit it to one simultaneous call at a time. Then, we'll add a new Custom Trunk to support the second Google Voice account. Here's how.
In FreePBX, choose Setup, Trunks. In the right column, you'll see a list of all your existing trunks. Click on the second entry that looks like this: local/$OUTNUM$@ (custom). Be sure the Custom Dial String looks like what is shown below. If not, choose another trunk until you find the right one. Then make an entry of 1 in the Maximum Channels field:
When you've made the entry and carefully checked it, click Submit Changes, Apply Configuration Changes, Continue with Reload.
Now we're ready to Add the additional Custom Trunk. In FreePBX, choose Setup, Trunks, Add Custom Trunk. Make your entries look like what's shown below:
When you've made the Maximum Channels and Custom Dial String entries shown above and carefully checked them, click Submit Changes, Apply Configuration Changes, Continue with Reload.
Creating Additional Outbound Routes. FreePBX uses Outbound Routes to do just what the name implies: to route outbound calls to their destination. Outbound Routes are processed in the order in which they appear in the FreePBX Outbound Routes listing. We need to make three changes in the Outbound Routes processing to support a second Google Voice call path. First, we want to modify the existing Default Outbound Route to accommodate the second Google Voice account. Second, we want to add a new Outbound Route for the second Google Voice account so that calls can be placed directly with this route using a different dialing prefix. You'll recall that Google Voice calls in the Incredible PBX can optionally be dialed using the 48 prefix followed by a 10-digit number. The 48 spells GV on the phone key pad. So we'll add a new Outbound Route with a 482 (GV2) prefix which will tell Asterisk to route these calls out using the second Google Voice account. These prefixes can be anything you desire incidentally. Third, we'll need to move this new route UP the routes list so that it appears above and gets processed before the Default route. Here's how.
In FreePBX, choose Setup, Outbound Routes, Default. In the blank Trunk Sequence pulldown, choose the following entry: local/$OUTNUM#@custom-gv2. Now click the Add button. This should leave you with 3 outbound routes numbered 0, 1, and 2. Be sure your entries match the following:
When you've made the entry and carefully checked it, click Submit Changes, Apply Configuration Changes, Continue with Reload.
Now we're ready to add a new Outbound Route to support a custom dialing prefix for the second Google Voice account. In FreePBX, choose Setup, Outbound Routes. In the Add Route form, make the following entries:
When you've made the entries, click Submit Changes, Apply Configuration Changes, Continue with Reload.
Finally, look at the listing of Routes in the Right Margin. Using the arrow beside GoogleVoice2, move it up until it is just beneath the GoogleVoice entry. Then click Apply Config Changes, Continue with Reload.
Adding Additional SIPgate Trunks. If you set up your Incredible PBX originally using IPkall, then there already will be a sipgate trunk that can be used for this second line. Otherwise, you'll need to create a new sipgate2 trunk and clone the setup from the original sipgate trunk. Within FreePBX, goto Setup, Trunks and either Add a new SIP trunk or edit the existing sipgate trunk if it isn't already in use. If this is a newly added trunk, enter sipgate2 as the Trunk Name. The PEER Details under Outgoing Settings should be added so they look like this (substituting your actual SIPid and SIPpassword that were obtained from the SIPgate registration page:
Blank out any data that's entered in the Incoming Settings section of the form. Then enter a Registration String with your actual SIPid, SIPpassword, and 10-digit SIPgate phone number:
Check your entries carefully for typos. Then click Submit Changes, Apply Configuration Changes, Continue with Reload.
Now is a good time to check and be sure the new SIPgate trunk registered with SIPgate. In FreePBX, choose Tools, Asterisk Info, SIP Info. Your newly created SIPgate trunk should display as Registered. If it says Request Sent, then you've got a typo in your credentials.
That takes care of all the FreePBX settings needed to support a second Google Voice number. Now we just need to add a chunk of dialplan code to Asterisk and restart Asterisk. Then you'll be ready to go. All of this is handled by a simple Nerd Vittles script so... not to worry! It's easy.
Adding Dialplan Code for Additional Trunks. Log into your server as root, and issue the following commands to download and run the dialplan configuration script. For future reference, be advised that there are configuration scripts for gv2, gv3, gv4, and gv5 with corresponding names.
cd /root
wget http://incrediblepbx.com/configure-gv2
chmod +x configure-gv2
When prompted, enter your 10-digit Google Voice phone number, your Google Voice email address, your Google Voice password, and your 10-digit SIPgate RingBack number. Check your work and then press the Enter key to adjust your dialplan and reload Asterisk. You now have a 2-line Incredible PBX. Enjoy!

Amazing ! You are the best! Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I'll be setting up 3 servers tonight for sure !
Thank you
Is it possible to run multiple google trunks with the older Orgasmatron 5.2? If not can I backup all my current settings in Orgasmatron 5.2 and then restore them to Incredible PBX?
Kind of a n00b to all of this but I understand it fully.
[WM: Should be fine. Make a backup first. 🙂 ]
Alright, I know I've asked this before, and it seems like a setup like this isn't really what I'm looking for, but… is there any way to get this to work with Google Voice's built-in voicemail system and not Asterisk's? Or is that sort of thing just not possible with an Asterisk-GV setup?
WM: As long as your Asterisk extensions don't have voicemail activated, you could use GV's voicemail with no problem.
Love it. I have multiple lines added and running. I am very OCD and one thing that bothered me were all the additional lines were named with numbers, such as gv2, gv3, gv4, etc…. However, the first line was not gv1 but rather just gv.
I went through and fixed it but I needed to modify some conf files and hop into mysql to change the custom destination of "Custom GV-Park" to "Custom GV-Park1". For some reason, the custom destination field is not editable in freepbx.
I wanted to leave a comment about this in case someone else wants to do the same and is trying to figure out how to change the custom destination field of "Custom GV-Park". it is in the table custom_destinations in the asterisk mysql db
When I try to get a second SIPGate account, it tells me there was a technical error. Is anyone else having problems getting a second SIPGate number? Am I allowed to use the same cell phone that I used for the first one when requesting the second one?
[WM: We've previously used the same cell phone number more than once, but that doesn't mean they haven't tightened things up.]
@Jonathan Frederickson: I want the same thing, the only thing I will add to the great Nerd Vittle is that you also cannot have fax detect on the line. It seems that delay where it is looking for the fax makes Google think that you picked up.
As of today, Google Voice is available for everyone without an invite (which is strange because I also just got 3 invites on one of my Google Voice numbers today as well, now that they are no longer needed).
i am feeling pretty stupid here, so i did what is outlined above, and am failing to see how i use the other lines i have setup? or is it set to use first avaible then next out call uses first free line too ? please point me to post on forums if this has been covered, BTW usin pbiaf bronze, could not get the purple to dial out for me even after fix so i'm running on bronze
This article is no longer needed, since 1.8 native gv support. Now, there is support (built in) for simultaneous (channels) outgoing and incoming calls using the same gv trunk(google voice number). You can simultaneously make a call and receive a call on the same gv trunk (google voice number). Or, you can make two (or more calls) simultaneously! from the same gv trunk (google voice number, as long as it's not the same number called). Hunt groups are a thing in the past … since simultaneous incoming calls (tested up to 5)to the same gv trunk (google voice number). This is amazing! Simple, and functional. The phone industry will never be the same again. If you are a business or a hotel that is paying for multiple lines, dump your phone company and make the switch to asterisk today!
SipGate is no longer accepting new customers…
Is there an alternative solution for the service they provide?

SAN ANTONIO – More than 38,000 fans will be in attendance to watch THE RING junior middleweight championship bout between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Austin Trout tomorrow night at Alamodome.
Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 knockouts), weighed in at 153.5 pounds for his Showtime-televised showdown with Trout (26-0, 14 KOs), who tipped the scales at 153.25 at Friday's heavily attended public weigh-in held at Market Square.
After the outdoor weigh-in, Alvarez and Trout engaged in a long, wordless nose-to-nose staredown.
When Showtime commentator Steve Farhood, who hosted the live broadcast and internet stream of the weigh-in, asked Trout what he took from the face-to-face confrontation, the 27-year-old resident of Las Cruces, New Mexico said:
"I saw a man who's ready to fight and I expect nothing less.
"It's time to see who's best at 154 pounds."
Trout, who was born in El Pasto, Texas, had many fans in attendance; many of whom made the trek from El Paso and from Las Cruces. However, Alvarez is clearly the main attraction of the stacked Golden Boy Promotions card.
Hundreds of fans chanted "Ca-ne-lo!" during the weigh-in.
Omar Figueroa, of Weslasco, Texas, also received cheers from the crowd. Figueroa (20-0-1, 16 KOs) weighed in at 134.5 pounds for his scheduled 10-round lightweight fight with Puerto Rico's Abner Cotto (16-0, 7 KOs), who weighed in at 133.5.
The Figueroa-Cotto fight is the co-featured bout of the Showtime Championship Boxing broadcast.
Unbeaten prospects Jermall Charlo and Julian Williams will be joined by 2012 U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha in the Showtime Extreme bouts that will lead into the Championship Boxing telecast.
Houston native Charlo, the twin brother of fellow unbeaten prospect Jermell Charlo, takes on Mexican veteran Orlando Lora in a junior middleweight bout scheduled for eight rounds.
Charlo (12-0, 8 KOs) weighed in at a ripped 154.25 pounds, as did Lora (29-3-2, 19 KOs).
Williams (11-0-1, 6 KOs), of Philadelphia, Pa., faces Escondido, Calif.-based spoiler Dashon Johnson (14-10-3, 5 KOs) in a scheduled eight-round middleweight bout.
Gausha (3-0, 2 KO's), of Cleveland, meets up with Valley, Alabama's William Waters (2-3, 2 KOs) in a scheduled four-round swing bout.
Off-TV, unbeaten junior bantamweight prospect Ivan Morales, the brother of legendary Erik Morales, faces Chihuahua, Mexico's Raul Hidalgo in a scheduled eight rounder.
Morales (20-0, 13 KOs), of Tijuana, weighed 115.25 pounds; as did Hidalgo (17-7, 13 KOs).
Also on the undercard, bantamweight prospect Andres Gutierrez faces countryman Salvador "Sal II" Sanchez, the nephew of the late Salvador Sanchez, in a scheduled 10-round bout.
Gutierrez (25-0-1, 21 KOs), who is part of Team Canelo, weighed in at 122.5 on his first attempt, but later made the contracted 122 pounds. Sanchez (30-5-3, 18 KOs) weighed 121.25.
Former contender Raul Martinez, who is now trained by former champ Jesse James Leija — a co-promoter of Saturday's card — weighed in at 122.25 pounds (while eating a gordita) for his four-rounder with fellow San Antonio native Omar Gonzales (5-8, 1 KO), who weighed 120.75.
The nine bout card will open with Houston featherweight prospect Miguel Flores (10-0, 6 KOs) against veteran journeyman Guadalupe De Leon (8-13, 4 KOs).
Both fighters weighed in at 127 pounds.

Angela and Mike are the creative brains behind Pickle Punch, the kid-at-heart artists behind their dragons and beasties, not to mention superhero-eque parents to their tiny tike son. They're also catching our eye as Make It Designer of the Week! Sit with us as we chat up on what the punch is in their biz and check out more of their products and info at www.picklepunch.com
What made you want to start something like Pickle Punch?
A few years before our son was born, Mike and I were sponging up all things French during a week long trip to Paris. We were living in central London at the time, and were working as Creature Animators at a well-known British feature film production house. The hours were long, and while the projects were enjoyable, neither of us felt that our individual creativity needs were being met. Both of us craved an outlet that would allow us to work on our own little projects. We had spent many hours coming up with story ideas over a pint or two of beer at our local pub though. Also, Mike would spend hours late at night drawing out concepts for new characters that would hopefully come to life one day in print form. However, it wasn't until our trip to Paris that we had a eureka "we-should-start-a-business" moment! During a wobbly walk through the narrow cobblestone streets one afternoon, we stumbled upon an old fashioned print shop. It seemed perfect! There were gorgeous local French artist's prints featured in the window, and in the back we could see the old printing presses that were over 100 years old. Something just clicked for us both at the sight of this quaint Parisian shop, and that night we decided we would do something like this too. It was an exciting day that I'll never forget it.
Jump ahead 4 years. We moved back to Vancouver, got jobs as Animators again, I went to Emily Carr and did a Painting Certificate, and then we had our little boy. Pickle Punch came to be after our son turned one, once the timing was finally right!
Dragons & Beasties, Elephants, Mice & All Nice Things – Where did all these characters come from?
All of our Beasties come almost entirely from the creature "tickle-trunk" (hopefully you know that reference) that is Mike's brain. We've been together for 14 years now, and not a day has gone by where he hasn't been sketching out new ideas for characters, or exploring and fleshing out existing characters. Our studio and home are filled with thousands upon thousands of drawings, story ideas, and sketchbooks!
Mike is Dutch and spent a great deal of time reading European comics as a kid, and was also inspired by the Dutch Children's artist Fiep Westendorp and Dick Bruna. As a big kid now, I'm sure he's also been influenced from working at cool studios like Aardman Animation, and Pixar Canada. However, Mike has worked endlessly since we opened Pickle Punch, to hone a style that is distinctly his own, and that's also interesting to children. Once he's come up with a new character that we want to use for Pickle Punch, we both come up with the story and composition for each print. We want our characters to have depth, and seem real to the kiddos.
We also came up with a set of guidelines for who and what Pickle Punch characters can be. They should be fun, expressive, compassionate, and a little bit cheeky! The Canadian woodland creatures are also a major focus for us right now, and new prints and cards will feature Canadian animals, and focus on childhood in Canada.
We're stoked to meet them all! We noticed that this is going to be your first show! What are you most excited about in being part of Make It!?
I work alone in cafes and our studio 95% of the time, so being lucky enough to be part of a lovely buzzing show like Make it! will open a whole world of other local artists to me. So I'd say meeting all the vendors, the event organizers and talking to people visiting our booth will be the highlight. Being connected to the arts & crafts scene in BC, and supporting small business is hugely important for us too! It's going to be revitalizing to be surrounded by such abounding talent! We are very excited for our first show!
4. For others out there still nervous about sending that application out to Make it! and other craft shows, what advice would you give out?
First of all, try visualizing yourself at the show already. What does this look like? How is your booth and table set up? Do you feel comfortable in the venue? What kinds of people are attending the show, and what will they be shopping for? If you can imagine yourself fitting in and having a good time and having success, then that could be the show for you! I've been going to Make It! Vancouver and other craft shows for years now as a buyer, and I had a strong feeling about Make it! I could really see myself as an exhibitor there. So I'd say trust your intuition. It can be your best friend!
Secondly, take some top-notch photos of your product that are well lit, and also include some good lookin' close-ups. This advice was given to me many times over on both Etsy and from other veteran sellers, and seems to be key. Etsy has some fab tutorials and tips on how to create cheap and easy lighting setups. I'm always changing my photos because I feel like they can always be better! On the applications for shows, only select your best shots that really showcase your product, and also some photos of your studio and yourself creating your art/product.
Last but not least, get involved with social media, if you aren't already, and start pinning, posting, blogging, and talking on arts and crafts forums or other places where similar like-minded artists as yourself are discussing inspirational topics. Create the online presence that you want for your brand and your biz. It's easy to get carried away, so I try to set myself an hour a day time limit for facebook updates, pinning and blogging etc.
What's a 'typical' work day look like for you?
5:30 am – Awake: Before I even look out the window I check my smartphone for Pickle Punch email updates. Since the rest of the world has already been up for an hour, I want to see what's happening.
6:00am – Boot camp (hopefully), shower, get the wee one fed, watered and dressed, cats fed, lunches made, laundry folded, beds made, say goodbye to Mike. It's crazy in the morning!
9:30am – Walk 6 blocks away to drop off our lil' guy at the Nanny share, so I can start work part 2; Pickle Punch.
10:00am – Go to one of three coffee shops (I'm a bit of a coffee snob) and set up "my office". This is where I do all the photo updates, social media posting and commenting, checking for orders, writing customers, suppliers and retail shops, and ordering supplies. If we have a new greeting card or print then I write up the product descriptions for Pickle Punch's online shop, and our Etsy store.
12:30pm- Head home for a quick lunch that I can bring up to the studio, which is in our converted attic. I put together the orders here, and also look at the prints and cards Mike worked on the night before, and I take notes to give to him. I'm really picky about color, so that's usually what I want to change, but most of the time I'm just wowed by what he's drawn out! If we have any graphic design work to do then I do this in our studio too.
4:00pm – Pick up our son from the Nanny
4:30pm – Have fun at the playground together and head home to play some more! This is a great time for me to unwind and just relish in my son's curiosity about the world. 2 year olds live completely in the moment, and he reminds me to do the same.
6:00-8:30pm – Make dinner, bath the wee one, and bedtime stories. Hearing our son comment on all the characters in his books help me come up with fresh ideas for new art. I try to figure out why he'll go back to the same animal or person over and over in a book, and why it makes him laugh.
8:45pm – 10-ish pm – finish up any online stuff I didn't get to in the day, and help Mike out with feedback on the latest print.
10:30pm (If I'm lucky) – Collapse in bed, and hopefully dream about new stories for our prints
How has your son added to the artistic process and inspiration behind Pickle Punch? Think he'll take over the business some day?
Mike and I have our boy on our minds 24/7. He's woven into the creative process of every piece we do. So when we say there is love poured into everything we make, it's meant sincerely. Sometimes it's more obvious, like in our "Everyday Dragon" print, he is the dragon afraid of the bath. Also the expressions on our characters are often faces that our son makes on a daily basis too. Watching him grow up will also provide a plethora of incidents that will inspire ideas for new artwork. He's a hilarious kid, who is also very gentle and loving towards animals and nature, and we'd like to reflect these attributes in the characters that we create for Pickle Punch.
As for taking over the business, hopefully he will want to one day. For now, he's happy to scribble circles and make play dough kitty cats.

'Ask Gary' founder sues Bloomberg and Allstate
Published: Friday, November 8, 2013 at 12:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 8, 2013 at 12:55 p.m.
SARASOTA - Dr. Gary Kompothecras and his Physicians Group LLC filed a lawsuit Friday against business news provider Bloomberg L.P., Allstate Insurance and three individuals, alleging libel, slander and misappropriation of trade secrets.
The lawsuit, filed in Sarasota Circuit Court, stems from the publication of a lengthy November 2011 article published by Bloomberg, entitled "Fraud Probed with Romney's Fundraiser Cited by Victims."
Kompothecras' lawsuit claims Bloomberg and the insurer misappropriated trade secrets of Physicians Group and the 1-800-ASK-GARY legal and medical referral network, which was founded by Kompothecras, who is also a major Republican Party donor.
The lawsuit also alleges Bloomberg committed libel and that two former Physicians Group patients slandered the business in the nine-page article.
The three individuals named as defendants are Bloomberg writer David Armstrong and the two former patients, Kathleen Weston and Jennifer Molina, both Tampa Bay area residents at the time. The defendants could not immediately be reached for comment.
"The case arose after extortionists threatened Physicians Group and Dr. Gary Kompothecras that they would destroy their reputations unless they coughed up $3 million," the civil lawsuit states.
When the chiropractor and entrepreneur and his company refused to capitulate, the suit contends, "the extortionists conspired with Allstate, Bloomberg, and a writer to publish an outlandish hit piece maliciously asserting defamatory lies in order to damage Physicians Group and Dr. Kompothecras."
Using the same information, Allstate allegedly engaged in "a surreptitious scheme to attack Physicians Group and Dr. Kompothecras as part of Allstate's malicious quest to shutter Physicians Group and 1-800-ASK-GARY legal and medical referral network."

March is National Kidney Month.
What You Need to Know to Keep Your Kidney's Healthy.
New York Nephrologist, Arthur M. Kozin, MD, of Rockland Renal Associates and on staff at Nyack Hospital, shares information on how to keep your kidneys healthy.
With more than 20 million or one in 10 American adults having some level of chronic kidney disease, the need for proper kidney health education is crucial. According to Dr. Kozin, "Early kidney disease does not usually present any signs or symptoms. It isn't until the later stages of kidney disease that it becomes more obvious there is a problem. As with many conditions, prevention is the best medicine. It is basically a good practice to adopt a lifestyle that promotes good kidney health."
Your kidneys serve an extremely important function - filtering your blood and removing excess salt, water and waste to make urine. They also play an integral part in controlling blood pressure. When kidneys are damaged, water and wastes can build up in the body. Untreated, kidney disease is dangerous and even potentially deadly.
In most people with kidney disease, damage to the kidneys is caused by diabetes, high blood pressure or medications. The damage occurs slowly, over many years.
If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, you should have blood and urine tests to check your kidney function. If kidney disease is caught early, it can be treated. The blood test checks your creatinine and glomerular filtration rate, which indicates how the kidneys are functioning. A urine test will check the level of protein in the urine. Too much protein in the urine may indicate kidney disease. A person with late-stage kidney disease may experience an exacerbation in blood pressure or have the need to urinate more frequently, particularly at night. Other symptoms that may accompany frequent urination include a metallic taste in the mouth, itching and hiccups. Advanced kidney disease also can cause puffiness around the eyes, and swelling of the hands and feet.
The best way to keep your kidneys healthy if you have diabetes or high blood pressure is to keep those conditions under control. Other tips for keeping your kidneys healthy:
Taking steps to protect your kidneys will help the rest of your body. By making healthy lifestyle changes, and working with your health care team to control your diabetes and high blood pressure, you can keep your kidneys in good shape for many years to come.

Indian Americans from all over the Bay Area gathered at the Shreemaya Krishnadham Temple and Community Center in Milpitas, 25 Corning Ave., on Sunday to celebrate India's independence from the British 64 years ago and the formation of their own constitution.
More than 700 attendees came from all over the Bay Area to watch the flag hosting, with Indian, American and Pushti (Hindu sect) flags, a parade, cultural dances and performances, and to enjoy Indian delicacies.
Indians celebrate the day they gained their separation from British on Aug. 15 as Independence Day, and celebrate Republic Day to honor the day the Indian Constitution came into force on Jan. 26, 1950, replacing the 1935 Government of India Act that the British had put in place, as the governing document of India.
According to event organizer Sandip Shah, while Independence Day celebrates India's freedom from British rule, Republic Day celebrates giving them full control of the country.
"The constitution came into place three years after we gained independence in 1950, on Jan. 26 they had declared complete independence and it was more of a way to energize the public and civil servants and we got Ôpurn swaraj,'" Shah said.
"Purn" means complete and "swaraj" means independence in Hindi.
"We said we want complete independence and we chose this day to put the constitution into place," Shah said.
Attendees enjoyed the carnival games, and the cultural dances and songs.
Shah said the parade and cultural programs were a big hit with the children, and that the attendance was about the same as last year.
Milpitas Mayor Jose Esteves was in attendance at another Republic Day event the same evening at the India Community Center, hosted by the consulateÊgeneralÊofÊIndia, Purshottam Bhatnagar.

People helping people
Season of Sharing works to prevent homelessness
Published: Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 29, 2013 at 5:50 p.m.
A snapshot of the real-life impact of the Season of Sharing campaign was provided in an article Tuesday by Herald-Tribune correspondent Abby Weingarten.
Extending a helping hand
Season of Sharing provides emergency funding to individuals and
families in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties. Every dollar
donated goes to people in need. There are no administrative fees and no red
tape. The Community Foundation of Sarasota County allocates Season of
Sharing donations to 13 area agencies, although more than 50 agencies can
receive funds on behalf of clients.
How to help
• Donations to the Season of Sharing fund may be made by check or credit
card. Make checks payable to the Community Foundation of Sarasota County,
Attn. Season of Sharing, 2635 Fruitville Road, Sarasota, FL 34237.
• Donations are also accepted online at cfsarasota.org.
• Contact the foundation at (941) 556-2399 for more information or to
request a credit card form. All donations are tax deductible.
• To learn more about the Season of Sharing campaign and read previous
stories on the topic, go to: HeraldTribune.com/seasonofsharing.
The article told of Kelly Murphy, who lost her job and was unemployed for 21/2 months.
"I'm a single mom with a son and a daughter," Murphy told Weingarten, "and I had spent my life savings moving down here in 2008 from Knoxville. I didn't really have much of a savings to fall back on."
In desperation, Murphy went to the Women's Resource Center, which had previously helped her in her job search.
A peer adviser told Murphy about Season of Sharing. "I had gotten a three-day notice from my landlord, and they helped me get back on my feet and take my mind off of it so I could look for another job and not be worrying about my rent," Murphy said.
Murphy eventually found a full-time job, and so became one of the many success stories that are the reason for the Season of Sharing, a communitywide campaign.
Emergency funding
The Season of Sharing was created in 2000 by the Herald-Tribune and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, in partnership with social service agencies in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties. The Herald-Tribune has since been joined in providing promotional support by the Bradenton Herald, Sarasota Magazine and BIZ(941), Clear Channel, Bright House Networks, SNN Local News 6, WWSB ABC 7 and The One to One Group.
Front-line workers from the service agencies had asked for a fund that could be quickly tapped, without red tape, for emergency needs. That is what the Season of Sharing has become.
The funds may be used for rental assistance, utility bills, child care, transportation, food vouchers and other expenses -- helping families in temporary need, like Kelly Murphy's, get back on their feet. The aid may not be used for medical bills, cigarettes, alcohol or personal items other than food and clothing.
The Community Foundation of Sarasota County administers the Season of Sharing fund at no cost, so every cent collected is distributed to those in need.
And, thanks to the generosity of the people in our four-county region, the money collected and distributed is substantial.
Last year, the community donated more than $1.2 million and The Patterson Foundation provided $555,000 in matching funds, resulting in more than $1.76 million in funds to help more than 2,500 individuals or families in our community.
A community campaign
Our community is blessed to have foundations, individuals and businesses who contribute generously to the Season of Sharing and many other charitable efforts.
But, more than anything, Season of Sharing is a community campaign. Of the 3,000 gifts received during last year's campaign, nearly three-quarters were $100 or less.
Many of those are donations by people helping people like themselves -- people who might be, as the Season of Sharing ads say, "one car repair bill, one illness or one week's lost wages from homelessness."
And the need is all around us. In the four-county area served by Season of Sharing, the percentage of people living below the poverty line ranges from 11 percent in Sarasota and Charlotte counties, to 14 percent in Manatee County, to 26 percent in DeSoto.
Season of Sharing can help keep families above that line, thanks to the generosity of a community willing to make a difference.

October 21, 2012
BROOKFIELD, Wis. (AP) -- A police chief says the suspect in a mass shooting at a spa outside Milwaukee died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Brookfield Police Chief Dan Tushaus says 45-year-old Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, of Brown Deer, was found inside the spa building. He says there are no other suspects.
Police say three people were killed and four wounded in the Sunday morning shooting at the Azana Day Spa. Authorities spent much of Sunday afternoon looking for Haughton.
They say they believe the shooting was related to a domestic dispute.
The spa is a two-story, 9,000-square-foot building across from a major shopping mall in Brookfield, a middle-to-upper class community west of Milwaukee.

Healthy Tastes Great!
Whatever you call it – broccoli rabe, rapini, rappa, Italian turnip, fall and spring rabe, or broccoli de rape – this green is on the menu tonight!
Whatever you call it – broccoli rabe, rapini, rappa, Italian turnip, fall and spring rabe, or broccoli de rape – this green is on the menu tonight!
As was mentioned in a previous post, broccoli rabe (pronounced rob) is one vegetable that has more aliases than Jennifer Garner. Often referred to as rapini, rappa, Italian turnip, fall and spring rabe, and broccoli de rape, the one thing this vegetable can't be confused for is broccoli itself!
As a member of the brassica family, broccoli rabe is most closely related to cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, rutabaga and turnips and even has some ties to the mustard family.
Much like its relatives, broccoli rabe is a great source of folate, which is important in fetal development and may also reduce the risk of cancer, especially tumors of the colon, breast, cervix and lung. When combined with vitamins B6 and B12, as is the case in broccoli rabe, folate can also lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. In addition, broccoli rabe touts high levels of vitamin K and magnesium, which is integral for bone development and repair.
It's the absolute dead of winter, and many of you are subsisting in ruthlessly frigid weather. The local meteorologist cheerfully announces that, since December, you now have 19 more minutes of daylight! Yippee. It's 4:30, and the sun hasn't completely sunk below the icy horizon. That's all the news from Lake Tundra!
As tempting as it is to hibernate in the comfort of our warm living room, the fact remains that, while we're well within our rights to curse the cold, we need the sunlight.
Yes, in summer, it's simple. Just get off your duff and walk outside. In January, well, it's The Christmas Story scene when Ralphie's mom bundles up his little brother in preparation for the walk to school: "I can't put my arms down!"
Well, folks, Big Pharma has done it again. This one really takes the cake.
When Merck and Schering-Plough revealed Monday that the active ingredient in their top-selling cholesterol meds Zetia and Vytorin had flunked a clinical trial measuring its effect on artery plaque, they opened themselves up to a barrage of attacks.
This drug doesn't work. Period. It just doesn't work,' said Steven Nissen, head of cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic. U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, a Michigan Democrat helping to lead a congressional investigation of the study, said, 'It is easy to conclude that Merck and Schering-Plough intentionally sought to delay the release of this data.

Perhaps you're stuck in an afternoon meeting after having skipped lunch to finish off a project. You can feel your glucose levels plummeting twenty stories. Your stomach is making noises reminiscent of Sasquatch depictions. Your concentration is quickly waning, and that donut your co-worker is eating across the room suddenly has you locked in and drooling like Pavlov's dog. (Why does he get to eat now?) You glance at the clock, and it seems like an eternity separates you between the droning lecture of the moment and the chef's salad waiting in the office frig.

On this day 150 years ago, General Robert E. Lee wrote to Confederate President Jefferson Davis to update him on the situation at the front. In this letter Lee examined the possible direction of the various Union offensives and how he thought they might be countered. Despite being heavily outnumbered, Lee contemplated attacking the Army of the Potomac on the Rappahannock River line to try and cripple the Union advance before it even got started.
HEADQUARTERS, April 15, 1864.
MR. PRESIDENT: The reports of the scouts are still conflicting as to the character of the re-enforcements to the Army of the Potomac and the composition of that at Annapolis under General Burnside. I think it probable that the Eighth Corps, which embraces the troops who have heretofore guarded the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the intrenchments around Washington, Alexandria, &c., have been moved up to the Rappahannock and that an equivalent has been sent to Annapolis from General Meade.
Lieutenant-Colonel Mosby states that the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps, consolidated, have also been sent to General Burnside. Bur whatever doubt there may be on these points, I think it certain that the enemy is organizing a large army on the Rappahannock, and another at Annapolis, and that the former is intended to move directly on Richmond, while the latter is intended to take it in flank or rear. I think we may also reasonably suppose that the Federal troops that have so long besieged Charleston will, with a portion of their iron-clad steamers be transferred to the James River. I consider that the suspension of the attack on that city was virtually declared when General Gillmore transferred his operations to the Saint John's River. It can only be continued during the summer months by the fleet. The expedition of the enemy up Red River has so diminished his forces about New Orleans and Mobile that I think no attack upon the latter city need be apprehended soon, especially as we have reason to hope that he will return from his expedition in a shattered condition. I have thought, therefore, that General Johnston might draw something from Mobile during the summer to strengthen his hands, and that General Beauregard with a portion of his troops might move into North Carolina to oppose General Burnside should he resume his old position in that State, or be ready to advance to the James River should that route be taken. I do not know what benefit General Buckner can accomplish; but if he can only hold Bristol, I think he had better be called for a season to Richmond. We shall have to glean troops from every quarter to oppose the apparent combination of the enemy. If Richmond could be held secure against the attack from the east, I would propose that I draw Longstreet to me and move right against the enemy on the Rappahannock. Should God give us a crowning victory there, all their plans would be dissipated and their troops now collecting on the waters of the Chesapeake would be recalled to the defense of Washington. But to make this move I must have provisions and forage. I am not yet able to call to me the cavalry or artillery. If I am obliged to retire from this line, either by a flank movement of the enemy or the want of supplies, great injury will befall us. I have ventured to throw out these suggestions to Your Excellency in order that in surveying the whole field of operations you may consider all the circumstances bearing on the question. Should you determine it is better to divide this army and fall back toward Richmond I am ready to do so. I, however, see no better plan for the defense of Richmond than that I have proposed.
I am, with great respect, your obedient servant,

Back Pain Health Center
Steroid Shots May Not Help Back Pain
By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, July 2, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- People who have lower back pain caused by spinal stenosis -- a condition that narrows the open space in the spinal canal -- are unlikely to get relief from steroid shots, a new study finds.
"Steroid injections are a common treatment for spinal stenosis, and we were surprised by the finding," said lead author Dr. Janna Friedly, an assistant professor of rehabilitation medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle.
"These steroid injections aren't helpful," she said. "There is no added benefit to the steroid itself, so if people are considering these injections, I would recommend that they consider an alternative."
Spinal stenosis causes pain by putting pressure on the spinal nerves. The condition is common in men and women over 60, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Spinal stenosis is often treated with injections of local anesthetics plus steroids. More than 2 million of these injections are done each year among people on Medicare. Steroid injections are believed to relieve pain by reducing swelling and inflammation around the compressed spinal nerves, the researchers said.
Alternative treatments include exercise and surgery, Friedly said.
The new report was published July 3 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Gunnar Andersson, a professor in the department of orthopedic surgery at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago and author of an accompanying journal editorial, is not ready to give up on steroid injections.
"It is helpful for some, and in others it has no effect or very short-term effects," he said.
There are few treatments for spinal stenosis, Andersson said. "No treatment has been found to change the underlying problem or have a lasting effect on the stenosis," he said.
Andersson can't say who will benefit from steroid injections. "I tell my patients, 'this is something you can try before resorting to surgery, but whether it's going to help you or not, I can't predict.' "
The problem, Andersson said, is the overuse of steroid injections. "Many patients have been receiving many injections and for long periods of time, and that's not justified," he said.

UPDATE: Apparently officials retroactively stripped Foust of the victory, saying he was nudged off-track by a competitor prior to crossing the finish line. As a result, they've now slapped him with a DNF. Foust's official statement is as follows:
"I am incredibly disappointed in the Global Rally Championship's decision to DNF the Rockstar Fiesta two days after confirming our second-place finish. The GRC is breaking new grounds in automotive racing with this ruling stating, that essentially, competitors can DNF the car in front of them by pushing them off the track over the final stretch before the finish line. It is unsafe and displays a complete lack of understanding of automotive racing from a steward in his first weekend in the sport. In 16 years of racing, I've never disagreed with a racing organization's call more. What it does mean is that I'll have to push hard at X Games if we're going to keep the GRC win from going to the flying Finn Marcus Gronholm."
Few people have beaten Finnish rally driver Marcus Grönholm, but Tanner Foust, host of Top Gear USA, can now join the club of those who have. Foust was able to overtake Grönholm during the head-to-head SuperRally competition last week, during the Global Rallycross Pikes Peak finale — which, Ford's happy to point out, was capped off by Fiestas sweeping the podium.
"Once again it was Marcus and I in the final," says Foust. "He beat me off the line so I went really wide to get a good line into the corner and I squeezed him into the second corner. It just happened to work."
Luck changed for Foust on Saturday when he got tangled up with Swede Michael Jernberg during the battle to overtake Grönholm right at the finish line. Initially there was confusion over whether Foust or Jernberg had crossed the finish line during the crash, which would have scored them second and third place podium spots. After the dust settled and race officials finished reviewing official ESPN TV race footage they announced Subaru Rally Team USA driver David Higgins second-place and privateer Stephan Verdier third-place; both drivers past the disabled cars which had stopped just short of the finish line.
The Global RallyCross is a three-event series is a combination of circuit racing, off-road racing and rally competition with the 'Last Chance' final event held at the Pikes Peak international raceway in Colorado Springs.

Many are familiar with the web-based photo library at Forestry Images. The collection of images (any of which can be downloaded for free) is actually a by-product of an effort by the U of Georgia and the USFS to develop a web-based reference library of information related to forest health. The library itself can be found at Bugwood. It?s worth a visit for all interested in the care of trees. Agency and University contacts are listed for each state. Direct links to many key databases are present with information on both pest and host taxa, range, status, source and management. Or find out the latest on key exotic pests. Need to put together a presentation? Both the images and the supporting data can be easily downloaded.

Cynthia Blalock's Life-Altering Experience
By her own admission, Cynthia Blalock can't sit still. The retired government administrator is currently pursuing her second master's degree and every weekday she watches her 1-year-old great-granddaughter. She also has four children, 11 grandchildren, a house and a dog, her "living doorbell."
So when she started feeling lethargic last year, she thought something might be wrong.
"I had no energy or appetite," Cynthia says. "I also had a bad cough and trouble catching my breath. One night, it was so bad that I couldn't lie down to sleep."
That was the last straw. The next day, she asked her daughter Sheree to take her to the emergency room.
EXPERT CARE"Even though I live closer to another hospital, I had read about the Seniors Emergency Center at Holy Cross Hospital and specifically wanted to go there," she says.
James A. Del Vecchio, MD, medical director, Emergency Center, understands why.
"The Seniors Emergency Center—the first of its kind in the nation and the only one in our region—is part of the main emergency center but separate," he explains. "Developed by experts in seniors medicine, the center has hand rails, special flooring, thicker mattresses, blanket warmers and other features designed for the safety and comfort of those 65 years and older. Furthermore, our physicians, nurses and social workers are all specially trained in geriatrics and attuned to the often-complex health issues and needs of older patients."
Sheree noticed the difference right away. "Between having athletic boys and being a police officer, I'm no stranger to emergency rooms," she says. "I figured we wouldn't even be seen for several hours. But that was not the case."
A UNIQUE EXPERIENCEUpon arrival, the hospital's valet service took care of Sheree's car, so she didn't lose precious time parking. Once inside, the two were greeted immediately. Sheree took care of registration while staff began attending to her mother.
"From the second we walked through the door, everything happened so quickly," Cynthia recalls. I had an EKG, an X-ray, blood drawn, and a nebulizer to help me breathe more easily."
None of the initial tests, however, pinpointed the problem. The staff wisely kept her for observation while they called in a specialist in internal medicine, Yeheyis Negussie, MD.
GOING THE EXTRA MILE"After examining Cynthia and listening to her ailments, I strongly suspected pneumonia," says the experienced physician. "With senior patients, symptoms are often not as readily apparent, making diagnosis more challenging." Dr. Negussie ordered a CT scan, which is a more sensitive imaging test, and it clearly showed pneumonia in both of Cynthia's lungs. She was admitted, treatment began and four days later, she was home. Today, both mother and daughter—delighted by the Seniors Emergency Center's efficiency, effectiveness and personal touch—recommend the facility to others.
"This was my first, and hopefully last, time in the Seniors Emergency Center," Cynthia says. "But the staff was so nice, friendly and helpful, that I never experienced any anxiety. I'd definitely return if I had to."
