As temperatures in the region took a dive over the past few days, so too did the attendance at local pools and other water recreation parks.
This is not an uncommon summer trend, local pool managers said, but the recent chills have made for some pretty bleak swimming weather. Morning temperatures dipped below 50 degrees, according to reports from the National Weather Service, and the high stayed below 70 degrees on some days.
Mark Venurato, pool manager for the Prospect Park Pool, said on Tuesday the pool only had four visitors to its $2 Tuesday promotion, when usually they can "count on 204."

Prospect Pool lifeguard Craig McCloskey, 21, of Altoona looks over a nearly empty pool.
He said the pool will remain open if there are at least 15 swimmers, but it's been a struggle to get that many visitors in the cloudy weather.
"We're thousands of dollars in the hole, easy," Venurato said. "This weather is just killing us this year."
Feeling the chill
According to National Weather Service data, much of the past week has been overcast or cloudy. Thunderstorms rolled in the area last Sunday, and early in the week it was rare to see temperatures climbing above 75 degrees.
On Tuesday afternoon, the air temperature was only about 63 degrees, according to the NWS.
Andy St. John, the park manager at Canoe Creek State Park, said that when the air temperature drops, so does the lake's water temperature, which drives away would-be swimmers.
St. John said that park officials did a "quick and dirty" study of park attendance so far this summer, and though overall attendance hasn't diminished by much, the amount of people swimming has.
"The numbers seem to be holding pretty steady for total visitation," he said. "What's changing is what they're doing. There's less people on the beach and a lot less in the water."
The lake's temperature peaked at about 77 degrees several weeks ago, St. John said, which is ideal for swimming. However, the past few weeks have seen the water temperature drop to about 70 degrees, which people tend to find uncomfortable, he said.
Even when visitors have been coming to the beach, they've been staying out of the water recently for the most part, St. John said.
"This year so far has been atypical," he said. "Typically, you're going to see a couple hundred people, with 100 or so people in the water. You can count the same number of people in the beach area now, but you might see only five, 10, 15 people in the water, mostly the kids."
Venturato said that, while temperature is one offender in keeping people away, the clouds are also playing a role. He said the temperature could be warm, but if it's overcast, residents will still avoid the pool.
"It could be 110 degrees, but if it's cloudy out, people don't come," Venturato said. "I don't think we've had four days in a row of sunshine."
He said the pool is "fighting" to get enough people to stay open on cloudy days.
"We opened up last Saturday (July 26) and didn't have one person," he said.
Justin Brown, the director of aquatics at DelGrosso's Amusement Park, said that though the weather is "certainly a factor," it hasn't had such a strong impact on overall attendance at the park.
"I think it really has not affected our business, so to speak, in an overall perspective," Brown said.
He said people tend to come out in full force on nice days, which often will negate the poorer days when the season is examined as a whole. He said the park can almost always bounce back.
Business matters
Randy Colyer, the owner of Greenwood Pools, said sales are very "weather-oriented." When the "cold weather comes, the business slows down," he said.
"The current store traffic is a little on the slower side, mainly because of the weather," Colyer said. "We can tell when the store traffic's down because it's cold and rainy."
The cooler weather does help sell certain products, though, he said, like pool covers and heaters to help maintain a comfortable water temperature.
Greenwood Pools tends to see fewer people, anyway, as the summer winds down and people move on to other concerns, Colyer said.
"People get anxious this time of year, also, with vacations and getting ready for school," he said, "and it translates into less business here."
Lakemont Park Manager Bob Larson said that this summer is not unlike last year, which also had weather that was less than ideal for amusement parks and water parks like Lakemont.
"Last summer wasn't an ideal summer, so I was kind of hoping we were due for a nice one," Larson said. "But this year is just as bad, if not worse, as last year."
Larson said he did not have attendance numbers on hand, but that poor weather is always going to affect attendance at both the main amusement park and the attached Island Waterpark.
Unfortunately, though, there's little to be done about Mother Nature, he said.
"It's disappointing," he said, "but there's really nothing you can do about it."
St. John said that, despite the fact that fewer people have been swimming this summer, there have been plenty of visitors to hike or host picnics.
He said if the temperature increases for a few days, the lake will heat up again, which will be more inviting to beachgoers.
"I'm glad folks are still coming to the park to do their picnics and do their recreating," he said, "but it's probably going to take a couple days of good hot weather to rebound (at the beach)."
Brown echoed those sentiments, saying a "pent-up energy" will typically draw crowds back to DelGrosso's.
He urged potential visitors to take a chance on a middling weather forecast, as those days often turn out to be nice.
"I think that we see that, especially this summer, our numbers are really, on an average basis, only up," Brown said.
At Prospect, those working at the pool have to debate if the attendance is worth the cost of opening at all, Venturato said. When a small number of people attend, their admission won't cover the costs of labor and the costs to run the pool.
"It's just bad for the pool business," he said.

Restoration Plan for the Montpelier Front Lawn
Abstract: The purpose of this landscape restoration plan is to provide an overview of the goals for restoring the front lawn of James Madison's Montpelier to the period of significance (generally, the 1820s, or Madison's retirement years). Archaeological excavations of the mansion grounds at Montpelier have revealed well-preserved remains of the early 19th-century landscape features installed by Madison just prior to his retirement years (1807-1817). Since 2002, the Montpelier Archaeology Department has conducted research and excavations to gain an understanding of the layout and elements of this part of the grounds to allow for both the interpretation and restoration of this landscape. For the past three field seasons (2005, 2006, and 2007), the Montpelier Archaeology Department has been studying the layout of the carriage road, front gate, and fence for the front lawn of the mansion. The goals of this research endeavor have been met and more than sufficient information has been obtained to allow for restoration of these landscape elements. This document defines the broad scope of these restoration goals, the known history of the Montpelier landscape, and more immediate plans for restoration work, in particular, the restoration of the gate and carriage road complex.

If you think celebrities are the only things being photoshopped, think again. I'm betting you've faced many a disappointment when you arrive at a hotel, expecting luxury, and see something not quite up to par. Of course, hotels just want to show off their best side, even if they don't exist.
Oyster [1], a hotel review site that's known for its famous series of "hotel fakeouts [2]," shared these photos with us. Slide right for the hotel promo pic, and slide to your left for the harsh reality. Caveat: some of these hotels have taken down their photoshopped pics, closed down, or switched owners. But the fact stands that these were all used as marketing materials at some point.
1. The Capitol is not as close as you think.
2. Should we ask the sexy lady in the bikini where everyone went?
3. This hot tub can apparently magically expand.
4. Daylight just turns this hot tub into a different place . . . wait a minute.
5. This king-sized bed just underwent surgery.
The Riu Negril Club [7] in Jamaica has two beds pushed together instead of the lovely king bed in the photo.

Samsung's Lee Faces Lawsuit on Valentine's Day
South Korea's richest man hasn't had a great Valentine's Day so far, after his elder brother hit him with a lawsuit.
On Tuesday, Lee Maeng-hee, the eldest son of the founder of Samsung Group, filed a lawsuit against his younger brother, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Kun-hee, asking for his portion of the founder's estate.
It's not unusual to see the families of South Korea's chaebols engaged in a legal fighting over inheritance or management rights, but it is rarely seen at Samsung, the country's biggest conglomerate.
The 80-year-old Lee Maeng-hee claims that his younger brother took away their father's wealth, which had been kept under a third party name, in 2008 without informing other family members.
In the legal filing, the elder Mr. Lee is seeking 8.24 million Samsung Life shares and 100 million won, or $90,000 in cash.
Based on today's closing share price, the total amount is around 714 billion won, or $635 million.
Samsung Life has around 200 million outstanding shares, and Lee Kun-hee is the single biggest shareholder with around 41.5 million shares or 20.7% of the total. The 8.24 million shares demanded by Lee Maeng-hee amount to approximately 19.8% of his younger brother's stake.
The issue is already a hot topic online. One Twitter user wrote: "Money is such a scary thing… How much should one earn to feel full, and how much one should possess in order to be satisfied with his life?"
Samsung Group declined to comment, saying the lawsuit is a civil action.

Last week saw reports that Apple has signed licensing agreements with EMI Music and Sony Music for its imminent cloud-music service, leaving Universal Music Group the sole holdout, though word seems to be that a deal is on the cusp. While many of those watching are predicting an announcement of the new service at Apple's annual WWDC event in June, the other remaining issue is having deals in place with the major music publishing companies, which right now they don't appear to have. According to a report on CNET, despite Apple's previous stepping out with increased iTunes song-sample lengths without the approval of publishers that created a contentious situation, there isn't much keeping the two sides apart on a cloud-streaming agreement… Most are already hailing Apple as the fait-accompli winner of the cloud music 'wars', though Amazon made a big wave this week by offering Lady Gaga's new album Born This Way at a deeply discounted price, a move that the WSJ paints as an offensive on the iTunes digital music dominance, though Amazon is still a long way from making a dent in iTunes stranglehold. According to the article's sources, Born This Way sold between 250,000 – 350,000 across both online marketplaces in its first day… Over the weekend news surfaced that Access Industries and Len Blavatnik's offer for Warner Music was not the highest, a group including Sony Corp., Guggenheim Partners and Ron Perelman offered 3% more at $8.50 a share, though the deal would have been contingent on Sony board and partner approval. How this will effect the multiple shareholder lawsuits Warner is currently facing is yet to be seen… Speaking at e-G8 in Paris this week, Sean Parker made comments, as MediaMemo notes, that may explain his interest in the recent bidding on Warner Music, and could also portend future involvement in bidding on recorded music companies, an excerpt: I think that there is a pretty dramatic change in the way music is monetized that is on the cusp of happening. Back catalogues of record labels are going to become extremely valuable…If you believe this transformation is occurring, if you believe the broken distribution systems are on the verge of being fixed, those recordings are dramatically undervalued… And speaking of labels for sale, Forbes has a profile of EMI group CEO Roger Faxon, framing him as the key in the label's recent turnaround, including major digital breakthroughs with Beatles and Pink Floyd catalogs, though his future at the company may depend solely on who the new owners will be… And is Facebook Music launching soon and on the back of Spotify?

Monday Roundup: Sean Parker in on Warner Music Bid, NY Times on Big Machine's Borchetta, Clear Channel Digital Head Leaves & more…
The latest news coming out of the Warner Music Group sale, is that Napster co-founder, and current Facebook and Spotify investor, Sean Parker is part of a consortium that is planning to make a bid for WMG, a group led by Ron Burkle and Doug Teitelbaum, according to AllThingsD. Burkle's interest in making a play for the company was recently revealed along with a handful of other leading suitors. Parker's moves are always of interest to tech and music industry circles, due to his association with such high-profile and influential start ups. Warner is one of two remaining major label groups yet to sign on with Spotify in the U.S. – Universal Music Group being the other… The New York Times profiled Big Machine Records founder Scott Borchetta in a piece over the weekend. Borchetta goes into his early career in Nashville working with his father's promotion company and various Music City record labels, before starting Big Machine in 2005… On the heels of the recent acquisition of music subscription service Thumbplay by Clear Channel, who is eyeing the online radio space currently dominated by Pandora, the company has announced the departure of its head of digital Evan Harrison… And Superglued, a highly-anticipted location-based Foursquare-like mobile app for concerts, will be unveiled tomorrow during the last day of SXSW Interactive.

In real life, car crashes are expensive and/or deadly. In movieland, car crashes are awesome and/or outstanding. We've compiled a list of the twenty four best car crashes in movie history, these range from explosive to crazy to silly to realistic to absurd and beyond.
The Descent
A magnificent film of the Trapped in a Cave genre, The Descent begins with a husband gets a copper pole through his face. Wife and child are in the car with him. Dead Dad Opener? Check. Windshield Penetration? Check.
This is a beautiful example of the Oedipal Crash, a Dead Dad Opener where the father is killed while the son is driving, is the only enjoyable moment of DJ Caruso's lazy re-imagining of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window.
American Werewolf in London
John Landis' 1981 werewolf travel flick serves to remind that before werewolves were sexy and shirtless, they were horrible monsters who killed people. Check out the two people who get hit through the window...awesome.
Spike Jonze knows how to make films. His 1997 short How They Get Thereproved he knew how to make cars fly through the air, but this Surprise Sideswipe proves he knows how to make us jump into the air — y'know...out of our seats — just like brainy screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's rambunctuous, action-hungry, and fictional brother Donald wants us to.
Cronenberg's Crash is a dissertation on car crash fetishism and this sequence is a recreation of the most sexual fetishy of all car crashes: James Dean's fatal smash up.
Death Proof
I'm sure Quentin Tarantino already has a much more comprehensive list of movie car crashes than this one. Check out the angle where the tire peels over Vanessa Ferlito's face.
Toy Story 2
Since their 1986 short, Luxo Jr, Pixar has been cooking up big ole' stews of film magic for our hungry eyes. They can even pull off a good — albeit cute — car crash sequence.
Vanishing Point
Kowalski, the double-entredre'd speed freak — he's on Benzedrine and he's driving hella fast — cuts his mad dash to San Francisco short with an outrageous Suicide By Gasplosion. This video is blocked in some countries, so if you can't view it click here.
No Country For Old Men
Anton Chighurgh has spent an entire movie being unkillable, why would he stop now? All he gets from this crash is a broken arm. Not bad, if you consider what the guy who hit him (you know, the one who isn't walking around, the one you don't see) must look like. (Hint: he's dead)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The only cathartic car crash in our gallery, Cameron just can't live under his father's stern eye anymore. Cam decides to stand up patriarchy by kicking the shit out of dad's Ferrari. Boy becomes man, car becomes crashed.
Dark Knight
Batman's motorcycle-thing runs loops around The Joker's truck, causing a crash known as the Front Flip. After that, Batman does the coolest motorcycle manuever of all time: the Wallaround. If you can't view it, watch it here.
Vanilla Sky
Cameron Diaz tries to explain to Tom Cruise what it's like to have human emotions. She fails, decides to swerve off a bridge to kill them both. She fails at that, too.
Cameron couldn't do it in Vanilla Sky, so Jamie Foxx tries to kill Tom Cruise. He doesn't succeed, but it's the thought that counts.
Bad Boys 2
Will Smith kills hundreds of Cubans whiling driving a banana yellow hummer through a series of cocaine bungalows which are rigged with explosives while Martin Lawrence has a great time. Thanks, Mikey Bay!
Casino Royale
A topsy-turvy rollabout to go down in Bond genre history. Bond saves the girl, sacrifices his Aston Martin DBS.
Matrix Reloaded
The 17 minute long crumplefest of carsplosions and bullets comes to a close when two eighteen wheelers run headlong into one another. Thanks to bullet-time, this crash provides us a view of the phenomena known as "Cargo Rippling." Also, Neo is Jesus.
Mad Max
Mad Max is chock full of crashes and quick cut eyeball inserts, but this final crash is the best because it's the only one where someone's eyes pop almost entirely out of their sockets. Mel Gibson's Hero Shot after running a guy into a truck is pretty funny, too.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Director Adam McKay provides us with the longest vehicular tumble of film history, replete with Roll The Wheel Off — and, when it cuts to commercial, injects a healthy dose of 80's style overdub humor in the process.
Dawn of the Dead
The opener of the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead treats us to two different car crashes of the "Surprise!" variety: A Surprise Ragdoll Sideswipe & a Surprise Coptershot.
Meet Joe Black
Joe Meet Blacktop...Death's killed by a crash known by some as the Double Surprise Ragdoll Sideswipe, twice as brutal as Dawn of the Dead's Surprise Ragdoll Sideswipe!
The Seven Ups
In his directorial debut, Philip D'Antoni, the producer of Bullitt and French Connection, ends this great chase scene with a fantastic Impromptu Convertible.
In Daylight, a car hits the back of a convoy of flatbed trucks carrying gasoline through the Holland Tunnel. The ensuing explosion nearly destroys the tunnel itself, but leaves enough survivors for Sylvester Stallone to spend eighty minutes inside the wreckage as he attempts to get them out of the tunnel and into...Daylight.
Sandra Bullock stars in this seven years late amnesia film — Memento came out in 2000, Sandra. The entire film, Bullock is attempting to come to grips with the horrible car crash she saw: a Eighteen Wheel Jacknife, which leads to an Impromptu Convertible, and ends with a Gasplosion.
Final Destination 1
Girl says "Drop dead!" and then drops dead. A classic Surprise Ragdoll Sideswipe. The ketchup packet blood splatter is the best part of this crash.
Final Destination 2
Absurdity manifest. This crash contains every other crash within it: logs falling off a flatbed lead to a Windshield Penetration, the Cycle Slip to Crush, the Barrel Roll, the Surprise Sideswipe, the Front Flip, the Gasplosion, the Eighteen Wheel Jacknife, the Sloppy Barrel Roll, the Impromptu Convertible. It even adds one of its own: the Through-the-Flames Mack Truck Crush.

Dallas VA opens new polytrauma wing for veterans with complex injuries
A new polytrauma wing offering more care for North Texas veterans with complex, multiple injuries opens Monday at the Dallas VA Medical Center.
A ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
Injuries caused by explosions have been common in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Victims of blasts often suffer multiple injuries, or polytrauma, including amputations, damage to the spinal cord, brain injuries and psychiatric disorders.
Veterans with polytrauma typically require a spectrum of care covering physical, psychological, mental and social problems. Treatment consists of interdisciplinary teams combining physicians, social workers, psychologists, nurse case managers, rehabilitation specialists, and other disciplines.
About 14,000 North Texas veterans received polytrauma services over the past year, said Dallas VA spokeswoman Errikka Neroes.

Curation Gets Easy With Storify
Storify is a new company that focuses on curation. Curation is the practice of group online content together in a valuable way for your readers or community. I am very impressed with this app in my initial usage. You can check out a quick "story" that I put together for interesting B2B social media articles.
While the app is still in beta, you can request and invite. I will be back with future posts to look at this and other curation apps deeper in the future, but expect this to be a major trend in online marketing in 2011.

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
by Gregory Maguire
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West Volume 2, Chapter 2, Part 5 Summary
How It All Goes Down
- Avaric is back in town.
- Elphaba gets a letter from Galinda inviting her to come visit them (Galinda and her friends) at their summer lake house.
- Boq insists that Elphaba go, and she finally agrees, reluctantly.
- Since Elphaba can't travel without a chaperone, Boq says he and Avaric will escort her.
- But Morrible won't let Elphaba travel alone with two boys either, so Grommetik accompanies them.
- Elphaba and Avaric don't like each other and bicker a lot.
- Avaric implies that Elphaba is an elf, and Elphaba says he can find out by breaking her arm (elves apparently have brittle bones):
"I certainly will not touch you," said Avaric, managing to say many things at once.
- "The elf in the self regrets," said Elphaba. (220.127.116.11-37)
- The group arrives at Neverdale, the lake region, and go to the house.
- Everyone there is shocked to see them.
- Galinda is horrified. She says she didn't write any letter and would never invite Elphaba anywhere.
- We're beginning to see why the future Wicked Witch of the West isn't Glinda's biggest fan.
- Galinda's friend Pfannee admits to writing it as a joke.
- Elphaba is angry and humiliated and insists on staying at the lake out of spite now.
- Boq corners Galinda and they discuss Elphaba. Galinda says her friends don't like Elphaba and Boq says Galinda is being mean to her.
- They talk some more and Boq finally kisses Galinda.
- The next day Boq, Galinda, Grommetik, and Elphaba head back to Shiz. Avaric stays with Galinda's friends.

Chelsea may have been able to snuff out Barcelona by parking the bus on the edge of their penalty area, but that tactic is unlikely to work against Bayern Munich unless they make some subtle changes for the Champions League final.
While that ploy stifled the Catalans' famed tiki-taka, with Xavi Hernandez and Co forced to pass the ball from side to side in an increasingly vain attempt to find a gap, it is unlikely to be as effective against Bayern Munich.
While Barcelona look to tease and taunt before exploiting the gaps that materialise in the middle, Bayern look

Crosses appear at shul site
December 11, 2008
Ukrainian police opened an investigation after the construction site of a new synagogue in the city of Poltava was covered with crosses overnight. The property was given by the city to the community, headed by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Segal, for a shul and community centre. But its location in the centre of town had reportedly triggered the displeasure of many locals. Rabbi Segal said: "I believe that the authorities will take necessary measures to locate the offenders. The synagogue will become a blessing not only for Jews but for all of the city's residents."

Lucas says Ford, Hamill and Fisher return in new 'Star Wars'
According to a story in Bloomberg Business Week, all three stars of the first three "Star Wars" films will be returning in the new film set for 2015.
The story quotes "Star Wars" creator George Lucas as saying Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher "have signed on the dotted line." And they may have been on board before Lucas sold his company and the "Star Wars" franchise to Disney for $4 billion. »Read Full Blog Post

Introducing the 2013 Rosso del Palazzone…
We are happy to announce that we have just completed bottling 13,492 bottles of our newest Rosso del Palazzone.
The idea of the Rosso del Palazzone was conceived just 3 years ago. Because our Brunello vineyards are in three very different areas of Montalcino, the grapes from each vineyard show very diverse qualities due to the difference in soil, age of vines, position and altitude. The ensuing wines are all vinified separately. We create an ideal composition for each vintage of Brunello by combining our three Sangiovese vineyards in different proportions, depending on that year's vintage. Occasionally we choose not to include a barrel (or part of a barrel) of wine from one vineyard or the other in order to maintain a perfect balance in our Brunello. What to do with this extra wine not needed for the Brunello? Make more wine!
As in years past, this wine blends from our three vineyards as well as from different vintages. This is the fifth bottling of this wine, starting in 2010, with each bottling varying slightly in its vintage composition (while remaining 100% Sangiovese). This year's bottling is composed of 2011 and 2012 vintages, four and five star years respectively. This vino rosso is ready to drink immediately without the need for further aging, though of course can be cellared as well, if you have the patience to wait.
For more on how our wine gets bottled, you can read this post about our last Rosso bottling.
The first order of this wine has already been placed by the US, where it should be available in August.

TV Ratings: OK 'Golden Boy' premiere, 'NCIS' duo lead CBS on Tuesday
'Celebrity Wife Swap' hits series highs for ABC
A special Tuesday out-of-time-period premiere for "Golden Boy" improved on recent "Vegas" numbers and combined with the normal "NCIS" double-bill to help CBS cruise to its standard Tuesday wins in most measures.
A tiny bump for "New Girl" helped FOX claim victory among adults 18-34.
Among other notables, it was a solid premiere for "Celebrity Wife Swap" on ABC, while NBC's "Smash" and The CW's "Cult" both lost a few viewers and remained low-but-flat among young viewers.
For the night, CBS averaged a 2.7 rating among adults 18-49, far ahead of FOX and ABC's 1.7 rating in the key demographic. NBC did a 1.1 key demo rating, far ahead of the 0.5 key demo rating for The CW.
Overall, CBS had an even wider margin-of-victory, averaging an estimated 15.92 million viewers and a 10.1 rating/16 share, beating ABC's 5.805 million viewers and 3.8/6. FOX averaged 3.56 million viewers and a 2.3/3 for the night, compared to the 2.3/4 and 3.44 million viewers for NBC. The CW averaged a 0.8/1 and 1.15 million viewers for Tuesday.
8 p.m. - "NCIS" was off a little from last week, but still delivered Monday's best numbers with 20.48 million viewers and a 3.4 rating among adults 18-49 for CBS. There was a big drop to the 7 million viewers and 2.4 key demo rating for ABC's "Celebrity Wife Swap" premiere. NBC's "Betty White's Off Their Rockers" was third with 4.46 million viewers and fourth with a 1.3 key demo rating compared to the 3.38 million viewers and 1.5 key demo rating for two episodes of "Raising Hope" on FOX. The CW's "Hart of Dixie" was up a hair with 1.42 million viewers and a 0.6 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - "NCIS: Los Angeles" was up from last week with 16.81 million viewers and 2.9 rating among adults 18-49 for CBS in the 9 p.m. hour. ABC's "The Taste" was second with 4.11 million viewers and third with a 1.4 key demo rating. FOX's "New Girl" (4.285 million viewers and a 2.3 key demo) and "The Mindy Project" (3.19 million and a 1.6 key demo) finished third overall and second in the key demo. NBC was fourth with "Go On" (3.15 million and a 1.1 key demo) and "The New Normal" (2.615 million and a 1.0 key demo). The CW's "Cult" averaged 877,000 viewers and a 0.3 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - With 10.46 million viewers and a 1.8 key demo rating, "Golden Boy" exceeded recent numbers for "Vegas," but came in well below the September premiere for the Dennis Quaid drama. ABC's "Body of Proof" was flat with last week's premiere, drawing 6.31 million viewers and a 1.2 key demo rating. NBC's "Smash" averaged 2.99 million viewers and a 0.9 key demo rating.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

It is with a feeling of great privilege that we stand here today to address this house. We know that the invitation you extended to us to speak from this podium is one that is rarely extended to a visitor, even one who comes to you as the guest of the head of Government. I thank you most sincerely for the honour you have bestowed on me individually, on our organisation, The African National Congress, as well as the struggling people of South Africa.
We recognize in the possibility you have thus given us the reaffirmation by the members of this house and the great Irish people whom you represent, of your complete rejection of the apartheid crime against humanity, your support for our endeavors to transform South Africa into a united, democratic, non-racial and non-sexist country, your love and respect for our movement and the millions of people it represents.
We know that the joy with which you have received us and the respect for our dignity you have demonstrated, come almost as second nature to a people who were themselves victims of colonial rule for centuries.
We know that your desire that the disenfranchised of our country should be heard in this house and throughout Ireland derives from your determination, born of your experience, that our people should, like yourselves, be free to govern themselves and to determine their destiny. The warm feeling that envelopes us as we stand here is therefore but the affinity which belongs to peoples who have suffered in common and who are tied together by unbreakable bonds of friendship and solidarity.
The very fact there is today an independent Irish state, however long it took to realize the noble goals of the Irish people by bringing it into being, confirms the fact that we too shall become a free people; we too shall have a country which will, as the great Irish patriots said in The Proclamation of 1916, "Cherish all the children of the nation equally."
The outstanding Irish poet, William Butler Yeats, has written that too long a sacrifice can make a stone of a heart. He spoke thus because he could feel within himself the pain of the suffering that Irish men and women of conscience had had to endure in centuries of struggle against an unrelenting tyranny. But then he also spoke of love, of the love of those whose warm hearts the oppressors sought to turn to stone, the love of their country and people, and, in the end, the love of humanity itself.
For three quarters of a century, under the leadership of the ANC, our own people have themselves confronted a racist tyranny which grew more stubborn with each passing day. It had to be our lot that even as we refused to take up arms to save lives, we still had to bury many martyrs who were shot down or tortured to death simply because they dared to cry freedom.
The apartheid system has killed countless numbers not only in our country but throughout southern Africa. It has condemned to the gallows some of the best sons of our people. It has imprisoned some and driven others into exile. Even those whose only desire was to live, have had their lives cut short because apartheid means the systematic and conscious deprivation and impoverishment of the Black millions.
It could have been that our own hearts turned to stone. It could have been that we inscribed vengeance on our banners of battle and resolved to meet brutality with brutality. But we understood that oppression dehumanizes the oppressor as it hurts the oppressed. We understood that to emulate the barbarity of the tyrant would also transform us into savages. We knew that we would sully and degrade our cause if we allowed that it should, at any stage, borrow anything from the practices of the oppressor. We had to refuse that our long sacrifice should make a stone of our hearts.
We are in struggle because we value life and love all humanity. The liberated South Africa we envision is one in which all our people, both Black and White, will be one to the other, brother and sister. We see being born a united South African nation of equal compatriots, enriched by the diversity of the color and culture of the citizens who make up the whole.
This cannot come about until South Africa becomes a democratic country. We therefore insist that everybody should have the right to vote without discrimination on any grounds whatsoever. Equally, all adult South Africans should have the right to be elected to all organs of government without any artificial hindrances being put their way.
To safeguard the freedom of the individual, we will insist that the democratic constitution should be reinforced with an entrenched bill of rights which should be enforced by an independent and representative judiciary. At the same time, all our people will be free to form and join any party of their choice within the context of a multi-party political system.
The struggle we are waging is also for the economic transformation of our country. The system to which we are heir was designed and operates for the benefit of the White minority at the expense of the Black majority. Clearly the situation cannot be allowed to continue in which millions know nothing but the corrosive ache of hunger, in which countless numbers of children die and get deformed as a result of being afflicted by Kwashiokor and other diseases of poverty.
Millions are today without jobs and without land. Nothing awaits them except death from starvation and want.

Thomas Latham running for Dallas County Sheriff
Democrat Lupe Valdez could have at least one challenge to her re-election bid next year for Dallas County Sheriff.
Former state Rep. Thomas Latham, R-Sunnyvale, is running for the Republican nomination for Sheriff.
Last Thursday I saw Latham collecting signatures for his candidate petition at the open house of the new Dallas County Republican Party. The primary is March 6.
Latham served two years in the Texas House before losing a primary battle to former Mesquite Mayor Mike Anderson. Anderson, however, lost to Democrat Robert Miklos. In 2010, Miklos lost to Republican Cindy Burkett.
Valdez is not expecting a serious challenge in the Democratic Party primary.
Meanwhile, the Republican field for sheriff is expected to draw more participants.

Post subject: Had ectopic pregnancy and now can't get pregnant again
I came off the pill about 18 months ago. 10 months later I started feeling very ill and found out I had an ectopic pregnancy. I hadn't known about it as I was still having my period normally and by the time the doctors found out, I was already 8weeks pregnant and had to have my right tube removed which was upsetting as there was no particular reason for that happening in the first place which means that my chances of it happening again are 1 in 10. We have been trying to conceive since then (the operation was 7 months ago) and no luck despite people saying that you tend to be more fertile after a miscarriage or an extopic pregnancy. I'm getting desperate and can't help but think that maybe the one tube I have left is not working properly. Any similar stories or any advice would be great...

Hi Hun, sorry you have had such a bad time , 7 months is not that long to ttc, that said I have been ttc for 5 months and it feels like a lifetime!! Go see your gp, you would have a very good reason for requesting further investigations although it may just need time for you to conceive again.
Are you using opk's / fertility monitor / charting etc to help you identify your most fertile time?
Good luck xx

Sorry to hear of your loss. My sister has one of her tubes completely blocked (not removed) and lots of scarring. She was told by her consultant that this does not mean her chances of conceiving have halved just reduced by 25%. They told her it would possibly take longer than a healthy woman but that the other ovary would take over. They also put her on clomid and she luckily conceived straightaway. She is now over 12 weeks and doing well. If you try naturally for a while and nothing happens then you will have other fertility options available like IVF. I know you had you tube removed but i really think that you should be able to conceive naturally via your other healthy tube and if you are not ovulating they may also prescribe you clomid.
The ttc thing is a very hard journey but try to remain positive, it will happen for you i am sure!

thank you all so much for replying so quickly and all your nice messages. I will ask the doc about ovulation to check that I don't need any help with that; maybe it's just a case of my ovary having to work a little bit harder. I'm 28 so I'm hoping that all is healthy and in working order; my husband's 37 thouhg and I think he's starting to worry that the problem might come from him (he has had 2 boys from his previous marriage but the younger one is 6 and he is worried that since then his fertility has gone downhill) - from what i understand though men are pretty OK to "produce" babies despite their age.
I'll keep you updated on what the doctor says on Monday! xx

Im sorry i can t lend any first hand experience, but i can tell you about my aunt
She suffered an ectopic pregnancy...and they taken away one of her tubes, AND the other
was blocked
BUT she did go on to having another pregnancy - and that was sucessful
So im imagining you have an even better chance than she did!
Needless to say, both her tubes are away now, but the point of the story is hun
Dont let it beat you down!
There is still hope for you yet
Good luck

Hi again, so I went to the doc on Monday and she said that although I've been off the pill for 18 months, because I had ectopic pregnancy since they wouldn't do anything until it had reached a year since the operation. So she told me to keep trying and come back in 3 months time...I guess that's what I was expecting...what do you think?

A 20-year-old Massachusetts man is being held on $20,000 bail in Vermont on drug trafficking charges.
Vermont State Police say Miguel Serrano, of Holyoke, Mass., was stopped Friday afternoon on Interstate 91 in Guilford. Officials say a search of his car turned up more than 7 ounces of cocaine and 200 bags of heroin with an estimated street value of $25,000.
Serrano faces two drug trafficking and two drug possession charges.
He is scheduled to make a court appearance Monday in Windham Superior Court in Brattleboro.

NEW DELHI: Missed calls and messages have become the new bone of contention between the government and Trinamool Congress. Home minister P Chidambaram said efforts were made by the prime minister to contact West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, four days ago, on reforms but there was no response. Banerjee called this a concoction.
Lashing out at Congress, a day after announcing that her party was withdrawing support to the UPA, Banerjee refused to acknowledge that attempts were made to get in touch with her. "I was never informed of the decisions on allowing FDI in retail. I will request Congress leaders not to distort facts. They must communicate reality. If they wanted to talk, why they didn't talk," Banerjee asked reporters in Kolkata.

The Surprising Effectiveness of "Assembly Line" Innovation
- Blog
- Read Time: 2 min
Unconventional approaches to innovation are speeding up new product development, making R&D faster and cheaper. In China, companies are embracing an industrialized approach to research that allows them to complete projects as much as two to five times faster than they did before. "These developments have potentially huge implications for how companies should think about global competition and whether they need to rethink and reengineer their established innovation and product development processes," the authors write.

Mom who lost her son to suicide: It can touch anybody
Suicide in focus following Robin William's deathUPDATED 11:45 AM EDT Aug 13, 2014
Vermont's Department of Mental Health hopes more people see suicide as preventable.Video Transcript
FRIEND. FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF ACTOR ROBIN WILLIAMS, PEOPLE TOUCHED BY BOTH DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE -- HOPE WILLIAMS' DEATH BRINGS THOSE TOPICS OUT OF THE SHADOWS. WPTZ'S JACK THURSTON HAS CONTINUING COVERAGE IN THIS HEALTH BEAT REPORT. Cathy Lamberton thinks of her son Logan every day -- and always will. She lost him to suicide 4 and a half years ago. With the news this week that beloved performer Robin Williams took his own life too -- Lamberton hopes more communities start talking openly about suicide... A topic she says has long been only whispered about; misunderstood; even stigmatized. Charlie Biss with Vermont's Department of Mental Health believes the state can bring down those numbers -- starting with more public awareness. He says some people who choose to end their lives are actually sort of on the fence about it: He suggests we all pay close attention to behavior changes in our closest friends and relatives -- and not be shy about reaching out and connecting with them -- explaining folks considering suicide may benefit from that contact and caring; that sense that not all's hopeless. The national suicide prevention lifeline is 1-800-273-TALK. Cathy Lamberton will certainly keep talking about the issue -- and hopes health policy makers will too. in Colchester, Jack Thurston, WPTZ NC 5. CONTINUING COVERAGE OF

In the Netherlands, family group conferencing is known as eigen kracht, which translates to "own strengths" or "own capabilities." Eigen kracht conferences employ everyday citizens -- not child welfare professionals -- as independent conference coordinators.
The International Institute on Restorative Practices presents a compelling story about how FGDM was the catalyst to creating child and family safety and well-being for one family. Laura Mirsky follows the Lee Family through their experiences with Child Protective Services that lasted 10 years. It was not until the director for Family Group Decision Making of Los Angeles County contacted the Lee's about trying a new program that the family would be reunited.
View the article at: http://fp.enter.net/restorativepractices/carlginagino.pdf
Mr. Carl Lee is one of the individuals on the Family Voices documentary, jointly created by the American Humane Association and the International Institute for Restorative Practices.
by Hilary Horan and Jane Dalrymple
Family Group Conferences are being used in a range of decision-making forums around the world. They operate with an empowering methodology that enables families to partner in the decision-making process. However, safely and effectively involving children and young people in the meeting process continues to be an area of challenge for many communities. Horan and Dalrymple share the work of Barnardo's Family Group Conference Project in Wiltshire, England, and their use of independent advocates to promote the participatory practice of children and young people in the family group conference process.

This report presents the initial work of the External Evaluation Team for the Family Team Meeting (FTM) Program at the District of Columbia Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA). The outcomes and progress of the process evaluation, the impact evaluation and the fiscal impact statement form the content of this report. This external evaluation addresses requirements of the District of Columbia's Child in Need of Protection Act of 2004 for an "independent process and impact evaluation" of FTMs and the extension to 72 hours for holding the court proceedings regarding the removal of a child.

by Paul Nixon and Gale Burford with Andrew Quinn and Josh Edelbaum.
The idea for this study came from a recommendation made from the floor at an American Humane Association's Conference on Family Group Decision Making. It was suggested that a survey be done of programs internationally to ascertain who is doing what and with what results. Carried out in early 2004, the online survey has 225 responses from 16 countries that have programs for family group decision making and related practices.
Volume 1 of the Implementation Report from the Newfoundland/Labrador FGDM project.
by Joan Pennell, from the September 2007 issue of Social Work Now.
Family Group Conferencing (FGC) is one of the best tools today to fight institutional racism, but the use of FGC in situations with family violence still creates legitimate fears among many talented coordinators. Joan Pennell addresses safety concerns in her article from Social Work Now, while focusing on the benefits to families and the larger system of taking on cases involving family violence. As many would agree, Pennell states that preparation is the key to safety and a successful family group conference, under any circumstance.
American Humane is pleased to announce the release of a new paper that reviews family engagement strategies documented in the Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSRs) and state Program Improvement Plans (PIPs). American Humane commissioned Sara Munson and Madelyn Freundlich to write this report, which highlights various types of family meetings that states are pursuing to improve family and child involvement in case planning.
The 2006 International Conference on Family Group Conference was held in Wellington, New Zealand -- November 27-29, 2006. This conference was hosted by New Zealand's Department of Child, Youth and Family Services in conjunction with the Family Group Conference network.

NEWARK -- It was fitting, in its own way, that the last match Albany High wrestling coaching icon Kermit Bankson would coach was for seventh place at the North Coast Section tournament on Feb. 23.
"It's been a nice run," Bankson said as he prepares to retire after 43 years as head coach at Albany, a tenure which made him the dean of coaches in the NCS. "A lot of people came up and shook my hand and said 'Hello,' people I don't even know."
Albany sent seven wrestlers to the tournament, though only two -- Garen Pelesauma, at 152 pounds, and Cyrus Wafford, at 120 -- made it through the second day of the double-elimination tournament.
"We got a couple of kids through the second day, and that's what you want to do," Bankson said.
It ended with a victory, when Garen Pelesauma edged Eric Oeth of Campolindo for seventh place at 152 pounds.
"It felt great; it felt like I had to win it for the team, and for Coach Bankson most of all," Pelesauma said. "It was Bankson's last match, I was the last person in for Albany. I'm sorry I couldn't get any higher; I was trying for third and trying to go to state."
Pelesauma said it was an especially emotional week of practice leading up to the tournament, as the Cougars wanted to give Bankson a memorable send-off.
"Everybody had something in their hearts, and we practiced harder than I've ever seen in my wrestling career," Pelesauma said. "He's helped me a lot through wrestling, but more than that he's helped me mature. I'm a better person in the world and that's because of Bankson."
During his career, Bankson has coached two wrestlers who placed at the California Interscholastic Federation state championships, and has had a handful of NCS medal winners. Though the medals are badges of honor and achievement, it's always been more important to him, he said, for his wrestlers to be successful after they leave the sport.
"Everybody likes to win, it just makes you feel better," Bankson said. "But it's more of what they get out of this and can carry on later."
Bankson, who wears an irrepressible smile, said that his last NCS tournament hasn't been an emotional experience. There's been too much work to do, he said. The memories will come later when he's chasing his grandkids around his house instead of chasing wrestlers around the mats.
If Bankson had any hopes of leaving quietly, those were dashed before the consolation finals. NCS Commissioner Gil Lemmon presented him with a plaque in commemoration of his years of work and service to the sport as a coach and teacher, which was greeted by a long round of applause.
"They won't just let me get out of the gym quietly," he said.

Hundreds of thousands of people make resolutions to start the new year off right. Given today's society, which puts an increasingly amount of emphasis on appearance and self-image, the most popular resolutions deal with losing weight or living a healthier lifestyle. Every January the treadmills and ellipticals are filled with eager gym-goers. Like clockwork, however, after a couple of weeks the gym returns to its normal state of isolation.
Resolutions are hard to keep and living a healthy lifestyle can be even harder. With the demands of work, raising a family and other obstacles we are met with, it's just too much of a hassle for most people to count calories, make healthy food choices and get to the gym a couple of times a week.
Luckily, we are in a golden age for technology. Companies big and small are creating devices and services to help simplify our everyday lives, and that includes numerous technologies that can help you achieve your health goals.
From various apps to wearable devices, here are some of the best tools to help you lose weigh and maintain a healthy lifestyle:
We use smartphone applications to connect with friends and family, meet new people, and even order food. It would only be natural that we also use these devices to help us stay in shape. There are numerous cross-platform applications that can turn any smartphone or tablet into the perfect personal trainer and help you shed those extra pounds.
There's an old saying: perfect abs aren't made in the gym, but are cooked up in the kitchen. Lifting weights and cardio are important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but eating right is just as, if not more, beneficial as working out.
Calorie tracking
There are hundreds of fitness apps out there, but one of my favorites for keeping track of the foods I eat is MyFitnessPal, an app that simplifies the process of counting calories. MyFitnessPal is free and available on all major mobile platforms: iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone.
After supplying the application with information about your weight, goal weight, gender, height, birth date and daily activity level, you will be ready to go. MyFitnessPal gives users all the tools they need to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle with features such as meal tracking and daily calorie intake recommendations.
Calorie counting has never been so easy. Food can be entered in manually, chosen from a user-generated catalog of more than 1 million items or even scanned with your smartphone's camera. You can also set reminders to ensure that you never miss logging a meal.
MyFitnessPal is just one of the many calorie-tracking applications available for mobile devices. Similar programs you can check out include Lose It, Calorie Counter by FatSecret and Noom Coach, all of which are available for Android and iOS.
Running partners
When I was in college I always had friends and coaches to train with. It's easy to lose motivation for working out, especially on cold or rainy days, but a training partner can help fix this. While a physical person is best for training with, there are also apps available to those of us with lazy friends.
Apps like RunKeeper, Runtastic, and Endomondo (to name a few) are perfect for runners with years of experience or even newcomers. All of these apps track your distance, time, pace, and calories burned, the downside being that you must run with your smartphone. They also provide you with vocal updates regarding your pace and speed after you reach a certain distance.
Each app also has unique features that may appeal to you. RunKeeper allows you to set workout reminders, Runtastic has a "Story Mode" feature to make runs more entertaining, and Endomondo hosts numerous challenges that puts you head-to-head (virtually) against other members of the app's growing community.
RunKeeper, Runtastic, and Endomondo are available in free and paid versions on Android and iOS; all three also offer monthly/yearly subscriptions for premium features. Other running apps you may want to check out include Nike+ Running and MapMyRun, both of which are available for free on Android and iOS.
Fitness games
What better way to stay in shape than to play a game? Apps like Zombies, Run! and Fitocracy offer a fun and entertaining way to stay active. The Zombies, Run! app is one of the most unique fitness apps available today. Not only are you told a story while running, you are living it.
Along with tracking your distance, time, and pace, the app includes numerous "missions" for runners to complete, such as picking up virtual supplies. The app takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, which means you will sometimes hear and be chased by zombies, and the game doesn't end once your workout does. The virtual supplies you picked up on your run can be used to help strengthen your base and community to survive the hordes of zombies.
Zombies, Run! makes running and working out more enjoyable than ever before. The is available on Android and iOS for $1.99 with additional in-app purchases.
Another app you may want to check out is Fitocracy, an MMORPG-inspired fitness gaming app and social network. Each time you log a workout you earn points that will help you level up. The idea is similar to a game like World of Warcraft, but rather than controlling an orc or an elf, you are the character.
The company's extensive database also explains how to do a vast amount of workouts, which makes Fitocracy more appealing to first time gym-goers. Fitocracy can be accessed on the Web and from the company's free Android and iOS apps.
Wearable devices are slated to become the next big thing in tech, and we here at CNET have embraced the future. Numerous devices have come our way, many of which are aimed at fitness and helping you live a healthier lifestyle.
Activity trackers
Activity trackers are becoming smarter, more accurate, easier to use and (at least in some cases) more affordable. Most trackers can track things like steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned and sleep. There are also some other trackers with unique features. Fitbit's trackers can track the amount of steps you have climbed, while others (such as the Fitbit Charge HR, Microsoft Band and LifeTrak Zone C410 ) can track your heart rate monitor.
These devices provide an endless supply of data that can be used to track your daily activities. You can even set goals to ensure that you are walking 10,000 steps per day. Most activity trackers tend to be compatible with iOS and Android devices, although there a few (Microsoft Band and Fitbit) that also work with Windows Phone.
These devices are perfect for the average consumer that, although they can be a bit pricey. Most activity trackers range from $100 to $200, although some can be had for as little as $50.
GPS running watches
For runners, I recommend checking out either the the Garmin Forerunner 15 or Polar M400. Both of these watches include tracking for daily activities like steps, distance and calories, in addition to a GPS chip to track time, pace and distance when running. These bands also include support for wireless heart rate monitors, although some watches, such as the Adidas MiCoach Smart Run , includes optical heart rate monitors right on the watch itself.
Smart scales
You've heard of smartphones, smartwatches, and maybe even smart socks, but did you know there are also smart scales? That's right, a scale that is smart. What does this mean? These scales, depending on the specific product, can calculate your body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, and weight. Two products to consider are the Withings Smart Body Analyzer and the Fitbit Aria, both of which have their own benefits.
The Smart Body Analyzer is capable of measuring heart rate, indoor air quality, and is compatible with apps such as MyFitnessPal, RunKeeper, and Endomondo, among others. The Aria syncs wirelessly with Fitbit's Web site and mobile apps, and also integrates with the company's wearable devices like the Force and the Flex.
The Smart Body Analyzer is available for $150, while the Aria can be had for $129, both a relatively steep price to pay for a scale...no matter how smart it is.
The Internet
The last and most effective tool that can help you lose weight is arguably the most important piece of technology from the 20th century. It's the Internet, the single greatest resource for discovering new information and connecting with others.
Message boards, social networks, and online guides are just some of the tools you can access online. These can help you stay motivated and connected with like minded individuals, while also learning new ways to stay healthy.

50+: Live Better, Longer
U.S. Life Expectancy Lags Behind
U.S. Life Expectancy: County by County continued...
Translated, the researchers say this means some counties' life expectancy was like that of the top 10 nations 50 years ago.
For women and men, Mississippi had the lowest life expectancies.
The best places to live, life span wise? For women, Collier, Fla., where the average life span was 86 years. That beats France, Switzerland, and Spain.
For men, it's Fairfax County, Va., where the average life expectancy is 81.1 years. That is better than Japan and Australia.
U.S. Life Expectancy Lag: Explaining It
Mokdad cites four reasons for the lag in life expectancy in the U.S.:
- Socioeconomic factors such as income and education. More education, he says, translates to a person being more likely to seek and follow medical advice.
- Access to health care. Some rural areas have shortages of doctors, he says, and many people lack health insurance.
- Quality of medical care. While some areas have superior care, many others do not, he says.
- Preventable risk factors such as obesity and smoking. Mokdad cites this as ''the main reason in this country we are behind."
However, Mokdad says the blame in not doing a better job in preventing obesity and stopping smoking lies in the system, more than in the people.
Behavior change, he says, requires a supportive community. "Many neighborhoods are not safe to walk in," he says, citing traffic hazards as well as crime.
The U.S. needs to take a page from those of other countries, he says, such as Australia, which promotes public health with community programs. "Australia invested in a lot of programs at the community level," he says. The country has a widespread skin cancer prevention campaign, for instance.
More public health programs that reach out to the community are needed in the U.S., he says.
U.S. Life Expectancy: Perspective
Jeffrey P. Koplan, MD, MPH, director of the Global Health Institute at Emory University, prefers to call the new report ''enlightening" rather than ''alarming." He reviewed the report for WebMD but was not involved in the research.

NYU Langone Hospital for Joint Diseases First in New York to Launch J-Tip Needle-Free Anesthetic System
The J-tip needle-free anesthetic system uses a unique syringe that uses a small canister of pressurized carbon dioxide instead of a needle to push buffered Lidocaine into the skin. The Lidocaine numbs the area before a venous procedure, such as drawing blood.
In January, the Center for Children began a pilot program using the J-tip to prepare pediatric patients prior to drawing blood before surgery. Clinicians anticipate the J-tip will be used across all pediatric orthopedic services and potentially expand to other pediatric service lines.
