The Real Gold Coins
CHARLESTON , SC A 1860 $20 gold piece that lay on the bottom of Charleston Harbor for more than 137 years is in the center of a potential legal dispute between the "caretakers" of a Civil War artifact and the operators of a museum, the World War II aircraft carrier, Yorktown. The Yorktown Museum at Patriot's Point is in a battle to be the home location of the HUNLEY SUBMARINE.
Other local and international businesses including the owner of the website The Hunley.Com that use the name HUNLEY are also involved in lawsuits with The Friends of the Hunley, Inc. and Warren Lasch. Warren Lasch, from Michigan is no stranger to lawsuits.
The Patriot's Point Maritime Museum, state funded
and supported through tax dollars, was selling replicas of the coin, found
on the Confederate submarine THE CSS H L Hunley, for $9.95
with the profits going to the state.
NOTE: The replica coin selling on ebay. Patriot's Point Maritime Museum price was 9.95, ebays price was 16.69.
But that has stopped since the Friends of the Hunley, Inc. (a private non-profit organization) told the museum, anchored by the Yorktown aircraft carrier, it didn't have permission to sell the replica and could be in violation of trademark and copyright laws. The Trademarks could potentially be owned by Warren Lasch, administrative contact for the website, hunley.org, and may be held for private benefit.
The Friends of the Hunley, Inc. claim trademark rights on the image of the coin and copyrights for any photographs of it, despite the fact that many people feel that those rights belong to all Americans. The Friends have also claimed trademark rights on numerous pictures taken while excavating the submarine and have removed them from their website.
"We're stewards of the Hunley and Warren Lasch and we basically have a significant obligation to protect the assets entrusted to us," Warren Lasch, is chairman of Hunley organization. If the group hadn't protested, it could have been interpreted as a waiver of rights, Lasch said, and opened the door for other sellers to move in on potential profits. The Hunley has been described as a "cash cow" and rights to this historic monument have been carefully guarded.
Hunley officials say the 1860 U.S. gold coin is worth millions of dollars in part because of its unique story.
The Hunley, discovered by Dr. E. Lee Spence, was the first sub to sink an enemy ship during battle, but was lost in the 1864 battle with the Housatonic. Its commander Lt. George E. Dixon carried the coin as a good luck piece on the sub's last voyage. He had carried it in his pocket at the Battle of Shiloh, where it deflected a Union bullet from penetrating his leg.
The coin that Patriot's Point was selling was a duplicate and even carried the inscription that Dixon put on it: "Shiloh April 6th 1862 My life Preserver." Several people have claimed that the original gold coin was a fake and that the inscription was not simply scratched in but made by a machine engraver.
Patriot's Point stopped selling the coin replicas, although officials were unsure how many had been sold, so the museum could work a deal out with Friends of the Hunley, Inc. to sell the coin and other sub-related merchandise, museum Director David Burdette said.

From Mirror reports
MANCHESTER, N.H. -Once in every 1,040 games. Twice in 2,081 games.
For the second time in franchise history in game No. 2,081, Curve pitchers combined for a no-hitter.
Utilizing the arms of Ethan Hollingsworth, Jason Townsend, Jhonathan Ramos and Ryan Beckman, Altoona pitchers didn't allow a hit as the Curve beat New Hampshire, 5-0, at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in front of 5,322.
"I just told them, 'You know what I've been in a lot of clubhouses," Curve manager Carlos Garcia said. "'I've been with all-stars, playing with Hall-of-Famers, and I've played with guys who have been in the big leagues for over 20 years, and they never have the opportunity to enjoy something so remarkable that we just did tonight.'"
The first no-hitter in Curve history came on April 23, 2002 when Adrian Burnside, Neal McDade and Chris Spurling beat Akron, 2-0. Burnside allowed six walks in that game.
Fact Box
Next stop
Tonight: Altoona at New Hampshire
Pitchers: Curve LHP Nate Baker (2-1, 7.15) vs. Fisher Cats RHP Marcus Walden (6-10, 3.36)
Record: 47-56
Covering the bases
LEADING OFF: Amidst the no-hitter, Curve CF Gregory Polanco was a triple shy of the hitting for the cycle in Thursday's game. Polanco homered in the first, doubled in the third and singled in the sixth. His last time up, he flew out. He finished the game 3-for-4.
SAFE AT FIRST: On the same day the Curve threw a no-hitter, Triple-A Indianapolis was no-hit in the first game of a doubleheader by Charlotte Knights RHP Andre Rienzo. He struck out 11 and walked four in the seven inning game.
STEALING SECOND: Fisher Cats LHP Sean Nolin was credited with the loss, giving up four runs on eight hits in five innings.
ROUNDING THIRD: The Curve have been on the receiving end of a no-hitter several times despite only throwing two in franchise history. The Curve were most recently no-hit by then Akron LHP Giovanni Soto on July 15 of last season. The Curve were also no-hit in 2010 in a seven inning game and once in a nine inning game in 2004 - both times facing three pitchers.
HEADING HOME: Curve RHP Tyler Waldron was activated off of the disabled list on Thursday. He was sent for assignment in Single-A Bradenton. He is recovering from a right shoulder injury.
- Darian Somers
On Thursday, Hollingsworth hit former major leaguer Adam Loewen in the fourth, and Townsend walked Brian Van Kirk in the sixth inning. Those were the only two baserunners that the Curve allowed.
Hollingsworth pitched the first four innings, Townsend pitched through the seventh, Ramos the eighth and Beckman in ninth. The quartet only struck four batters, anf Hollingsworth recorded two of those.
The game ended when Andy Burns grounded out to third baseman Adalberto Santos.
Garcia said he knew his team could do it after Jarek Cunningham made a leaping catch in the seventh inning that kept the no-hitter going.
"At that point, winning the game was a priority, but giving up the base hit, it was even a bigger priority," he said.
Gregory Polanco, who was a triple shy of the cycle, homered in the first inning, and the Curve added three runs in the fourth inning.
Other than the play by Cunningham, the Curve didn't have any other close calls in the field. Several Fisher Cats missed putting the ball fair a few times.
"It was pure enjoyment," Garcia said. "There was a lot of a lot of congratulations with each other, defense, offense and pitchers. The pen was absolute outstanding today. It was like we had won the World Series."
The bullpen pitched five of the innings for the Curve. Since the All-Star break, it has allowed just five earned runs in 45 2/3 innings.
"I was thinking about leaving Ramos in there, but when I saw all the right-handers coming, I said 'You know what, I'm going to try to get this for them,'" Garcia said. "That was it. I brought in Beckman. He did the job. I just sat back and watched him get the three outs. That was awesome. That was exciting to see those kids being happy, jumping around. "
Garcia had come close to seeing one before - once as player and once when he was in Seattle as a third base coach. He had even broken one up in 1994 for against the Expos. But Thursday's was the first one he had seen.
"I've never seen one. Today is my first one. Thank God."
Game recap
Key player: RHP Ryan Beckman got the final three outs in the ninth.
Key play: Andy Burns grounded out for the final out of the game.
Key stat: It was the first no-hitter since April 23, 2002 and the second in Curve history.
How they scored

Prince William and Kate Send Royal Thank You
Prince William, 31, and Duchess Kate, 31, are sending notes of thanks to all the well-wishers who reached out to the couple (and included a return address) following the already rascally royal heir's birth on July 22, Kensington Palace confirms.
The image on the front of the card is of the family as they stood on the steps of the Lindo Wing and greeted the public for the first time. It was taken at the time by their own photographer.
The never-before-seen photo shows the trio at a slightly different angle than other images featuring Kate in her instantly-infamous cornflower blue and white polka dot Jenny Packham dress, cradling Prince George Alexander Louis in her arms as his proud father looks on.
"Their Royal Highnesses have been overwhelmed by all the wonderful messages and gifts they have received and send you their warmest thanks and best wishes," reads a note on the back of one card.
A palace spokesperson said they "are slowly going through the backlog" of all the warm wishes sent by members of the public, and cards will continue to be sent out over the coming weeks.
This is not the first time the royal couple has acknowledged the public's outpouring of support for their growing family. The Palace said the couple sent thank you notes to well-wishers who congratulated them on their pregnancy, and that card featured Kate in another Jenny Packham frock.

This was posted on the Bruins hfboards board a few min ago
Im gonna put the wings in the same category with the Devils and Florida. Boring games that offer little in the way of entertainment due to the nature of the organization the Bruins are playing against. These guys play a yellow, cheap assed, pick your spot game, cant stand their style.
They are good, but a poor team to watch play the game...
This is an aberration IME; Bruins fans are usually pretty cool and discerning. In all fairness, this was a beatdown for them, preseason or no. Emotions are running high.

WEST LIBERTY - Three choices of cavern tours, including the new Limestone Tour, make Ohio Caverns a year-round destination for more than 50,000 people each year.
The caverns near West Liberty offer a refreshing coolness during summer weather.
"It's a nice place to cool off on a hot day or warm up on a cold winter day," said manager Rick
Article Photos
This is the exit to Ohio Caverns outside West Liberty in Champaign County.
The Cactus Plant formation at Ohio Caverns.
The formation known as Palace of the Gods.
Metzger. "With the warmer weather, we've seen an increase. I won't say it's picked up a lot, but some."
No matter which tour is chosen, visitors can expect a constant temperature of 54 degrees year-round. The humidity level is always more than 90 percent, and the air inside the caverns is cleaner than the air above ground because it's filtered by water that formed the caves and still drips today.
Ohio Caverns is the largest in the state, with more than 2 miles of surveyed passageways ranging in depth from 30 feet to the deepest point of 103 feet.
Fact Box
If you go
Natural Wonder tours are available daily year-round 9 a.m.-5 p.m. April 1 through Oct. 31 and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Nov. 1 through March 31. The caverns are closed Thanksgiving and Christmas days.
Still photography is welcome, but video cameras are not allowed in the cavern.
Tickets may be purchased online at ohiocaverns.com.
For the Natural Wonder Tour, prices are $15 per adult and $9 per child ages 5-12. Admission is free for children ages 4 and younger.
For the Historic Tour, tickets are $14 for adults and $8 for children ages 5-12.
Combination tour tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children.
Tickets for the Limestone Tour by reservation are $12 per person. Children ages 4 and younger and free.
A yearly pass is $62.50 for adults and $37.50 per child, and is good for unlimited visits for one year from date of purchase.
Special rates are available for groups and schools.
Personnel track the number of visitors daily, which total 50,000-60,000 per year.
"About a third to half is locals or people from Ohio, and the rest are people from all over the United States and all over the world," Metzger said. "We've had people from Alaska and Hawaii and most other states."
But visitors also come from countries such as Canada, Romania, Russia, England, Germany, India, China and Japan, he said.
"We get a lot of visitors from everywhere," he said. "Some are looking for something different to do, but a lot of them are just big lovers of caves and caverns."
Tours can accommodate all ages and ability levels.
"Grandparents who brought their kids are now bringing their grandkids," Metzger said. "We have lots of daycare groups in the summer and school trips in the fall and spring."
The new Limestone Tour provides a wheelchair-accessible tour of a quarter-mile, which takes about 25 minutes to complete. Reservations are required.
"It's brand new this year," Metzger said. "It's just a small section of the caverns and part of the Natural Wonder Tour."
The accessible tour starts at a different entrance and takes advantage of the area that's wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs.
"We decided we wanted to have something handicapped friendly," he said. "We've had quite a few visitors that have taken the new Limestone Tour since it opened Memorial Day weekend - at least 30-50."
The Limestone Tour is part of the mile-long Natural Wonder
Tour which requires about 50 minutes. Visitors walk along a level concrete path for safety and convenience.
"The Natural Wonder tour is most popular because it shows you the crystals that are growing, and it's a good one for kids as an introduction to caves and caverns," Metzger said.
A third option is the History Tour, which takes place in the original portion of the caverns discovered in the 1800s and was viewed by visitors from 1897 to 1925. It was re-opened for tours in celebration of 100 years since the caverns' discovery.
The historical tour begins aboard a shuttle bus to the original entrance. Guests enter at the site of discovery and tour a three-quarter mile walk for about 45 minutes.
After a tour, Metzger said visitors may picnic or otherwise enjoy a 35-acre park on the ground above the caverns.
"We have a lot of family reunions, and even a few weddings now and then," Metzger said.
The coloring found within the caverns is of particular interest.
"It's the pure whiteness of our formations and just the colors you're going to see in the caverns," he said.
Ohio Caverns is known as the largest of caves in Ohio, featuring crystal-white stalactite and stalagmite formations. Many formations are still in process of development.
Concealed beneath the rolling farmland and wooded countryside of Champaign County, the caverns were formed thousands of years ago when an underground river cut through ancient limestone and created vast rooms and passageways that later filled with countless crystal stalactites, stalagmites and other formations.
The exact age of the caverns is unknown, but the Columbus gray limestone from which the caverns are carved is about 400 million years old, formed from the compacted remains of creatures that lived in the shallow seas that covered prehistoric Ohio. The oldest crystal - estimated by current cave environmental conditions - is 250,000 years old.
It takes 500 to 1,000 years for a cubic inch of calcite crystal to be formed into a crystal, and 95 percent of the cavern's formations are still active and growing. The largest and most famous formation in Ohio Caverns is the Crystal King, a pure white, almost perfectly formed stalactite. It's nearly 5 feet long, weighs about 400 pounds and is estimated to be more than 200,000 years old. It drips once every seven to eight minutes.
In addition to a variety of colors, from blue and orange to bright white and deep, reddish-black, the caverns contain rock formations, ranging from wavy ribbons of luminous white stone to upside-down forests of tiny straws that twist, turn and curl upon themselves.
In addition, there are "dual formations," or combinations of iron-oxide and calcium crystals that
are rare and not seen in many caves.
Some areas of note are Fantasyland, a large, open chamber with stalactites and stalagmites; and Palace of the Gods and the Big Room, which comprise a half-acre, open chamber packed with an array of crystal formations.

Cost Evaluation of Water Treatment Plants in Kenya
Nyenzo, James Lukania
Permanent address of the item is: http://URN.fi/URN:NBN:fi:tty-200911057039

Department: Vesitekniikan laitos
The thesis deals with costs of different production methods of potable water in Kenya. Water supplies in this country involves construction of treatment plants for surface water and groundwater sources, and also the running of these facilities. Plant construction and running is expensive and needs qualified people in all stages of planning, design, implementation and running. The funds used for a water supply scheme should yield the best possible output. The treated water should be of high guality and enough inquantity to meet the demand. In the planning of water treatment plants big savings are possible by selecting the most appropriate processes, materials and construction methods. Proper selection also has a great impact on running costs which must be taken into account already in the planning stage of a treatment plant. A treatment plant could simply be defined as any construction that produces potable water. The origin of the water is precipitation. Rainwater harvesting has been considered and is a goods upplimentary source of water. Using local material any family can afford to store rainwater. Therefore the investment costs should range from zero up to Kshs. 1430 per capita depending on storage construction. Running costs are almost negligible. Shallow wells can speed up the provision of water program in rural areas. The investment costs are Kshs. 170 - 230 per capita and with a good maintenance program the running costs are also low (Kshs. 10 per capita). This kind of program should run in hand with spring protection which requires little maintenance and the investment costs are lower (Ksh. 100 per capita). The groundwater potential in this country as a whole is yet to be assessed. Boreholes have an investment costs of Kshs. 900 per capita on the basis that no treatment except chlorination is required. Running costs varies between Ksh. 1 - 25 per capita because of fuel and labour. Boreholes have an advantage over surface sources over greater simplicity of operation. Surface water treatment plants are financially and managerially burden some. The river appears to be the source because of its immediate availability, but because of the character of the water, complete treatment is required in most cases. Failures are inevitable in treatment plants because of spares, maintenance and water utility operator experience. However, gravity supplies cost much less. The investment costs in treatment plants range from Kshs. 13 to over 707 per capita. If the plant is well run over design life, the unit capital cost of treated water can be very low (Kshs. 0.10 to over 1.50 per cubic metre). Running costs are quite high (Ksh. 0.28 to over 30 per cubicmetre). These costs vary so much because of the difficulties of assessing the data available. Recording is not consistent, especially on maintenance and expenditures qn electricity bills in most plant operationcharts. Scale of economies exists; smaller plants (<100,000 m3/year) spend more per unit production of water than larger plants. Medium plants fall within 100,000 - 300,000 m3/year of treated water produced. But proper capacity sizing of treatment plants should be done with due regard of transmission (distribution) costs. Alternatively, use of package plants should be investigated. The number of operating water supplies by MoWD is increasing, resulting in a growing burden of finance, administration, transport, procurement and staff management. There are advantages of centralized management e.o. cheaperbulk purchases, but services rendered will deteriorate as the number of schemes increase. Decentralization at certain levels (Provincial or. District) should be considered. /Kir09

Familiar faces compete for 3 seats on United school board
October 24, 2013
HANOVERTON— Residents will see two former staff members with two incumbents competing for the United school board on the Nov. 5 ballot....
It's called circling the wagons. The Marxists offer you team A or B. Both are the same, this team running will cement the loss of any control you ever thought you had on your children. Think about who they are, the power they wish to gain with the levy and the future they hope to gain with no levy issues to bother them ever again if it all goes their way.

Your Ultimate Online Proofreading Guide for Better Writing
A proofreading guide is like a dessert menu.
It presents the third course to your creation meal that involved writing as a first course and editing as a second course.
Since proofreading is the last step you take before publishing, it's obviously an important one—you want to ensure perfection.
It's heartbreaking to find an error in a final document that has already been released for the world to see.
But before proofreading is the most appropriate revision procedure, there are important steps that you can take during the writing process to make sure your message is strong and direct.
Unlike the first edition of my proofreading guide, which only explained proofreading techniques, the second edition of Your Ultimate Online Proofreading Guide also establishes methods to keep your thoughts clear and organized while you write and edit. [Click to Continue … ]
Why Revision Fairy?
I offer online proofreading services, but I'm not actually a proofreader.
I'm not actually a copy editor, either.
My creative work with words varies.
Sometimes, I proofread.
Sometimes, I copy edit.
Sometimes, I do both.
Sometimes, I rewrite rough drafts.
Sometimes, I write original content.
The thing is: writers don't always know what they need.
That's why I created Revision Fairy. [Click to Continue … ]
You're the Master Storyteller: On Writing & Editing Your Life
Your right hand lifts your coffee mug to your lips, and you take a sip of the beverage that will activate your editing sensibilities.
After the drink's vessel rests securely back on your desk, you look at your computer monitor, blink a few times, and glance down at your keyboard as you fiddle with your mouse.
Since you've already completed a rough draft of your writing, improving it should be simple.
Nonetheless, editor's block has plugged the flow of your creative juices.
How do we end up in situations that require literary Drano?
A rough draft is the first step in the writing process, but you must stay vigilant.
The words that we initially transcribe aren't always the purest and most accurate manifestations of our intentions.
You get to manipulate your creation until it satisfies your vision.
The evolution of a document is comparable to the evolution of human character.
We encounter editor's block in our writing for the same reasons we get stuck in life:
We've made choices that have produced a present unhappiness and don't feel we're capable of making new choices that will alleviate our frustrations.
We've fallen down a well, and there's nothing but darkness.
We don't know how to get out. [Click to continue … ]

For Dr. Preston Wendell, emergency medicine is a passion. So it's not surprising that he is taking on two important leadership positions in his field. This month, Dr. Wendell started as director of the Emergency Department for Summerville Medical Center. In addition, he serves as president elect of the South Carolina College of Emergency Physicians, helping to make advancements at state and national levels. Emergency medicine has quickly gained respect in medical circles, and Dr. Wendell enjoys it not only for the variety of challenges it brings but also because it allows him to provide immediate aid to people in a true time of need. "I like being on the front lines, and I like being there for my patients in the middle of the night when no one else is around. I think that's a really cool part of what we do."

U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill said Americans may "take some invasion of privacy" as a trade-off for security.
McCaskill was in Kansas City on Friday.
As she spoke, a manhunt continued in Boston for one of the suspects of Monday's deadly Boston Marathon bombing.
"I think Americans are willing to take some invasion of privacy, like public cameras, if we can prevent and quickly apprehend people who do these kinds of things," McCaskill said.
She said there is now a tension in American society over the right to privacy. She said the nation has to be careful striking a balance on that issue.

I love this thing. I had been using a combination of PDA, BlackBerry, Tablet PC, and sticky notes to capture - well, everything that goes on in your life. I came across this site and started looking at the different note taking products. Although tempted by the notebooks and the larger slim writer, I selected the wallet size with pen. Since the day it arrived, it has always been in my pocket or briefcase. I have packed up my PDA, and now use the wallet writer exclusivley to capture phone calls, to do thoughts, basically everything that happens when you are not in a position to make a permenant record. I then transfer those items to the appropriate place at the end of the day: Outlook, etc. The cards are then thrown away, and the slate is clear for the next day.I bought a cheap business card holder that sits under my monitor so I can read and type in the information at the end of the day. I have also just handed the card to an assistant when the item can be delegated and does not need to be recorded.Unlike my PDA, no reboot is necessary with these cards. That always happened at the worst moment. No more scuffing around in my car or briefcase looking for a notepad or piece of paper that seemed to get misplaced after writing the note.The wallett card writer really works for me, and has redeuced the amount of time spent on the "Where did I write that down."Also, service was great. My pen, which is really small, but fits my hand OK, did not work well. Levenger sent me another - no charge, no shipping costs. Arrived in 2 days.I ordered an additional 600 cards, and expect to be using the wallet writer for a long time.

I bought this after my dog chewed my shirt pocket briefcase. While I like the concept, the constant in and out of my pocket ripped the cards, pulled them out of the holder and were generally not useable. Love the wallet part, but I bought a new shirt pocket briefcase as my "note taker."

Comments about Levenger Slim Wallet Writer with Pen:
Truly this is one of the handiest items I have purchased in a while. I am always needing to jot down a note to remember later. This is even faster than pulling out my phone and fining the note app. The only draw back and the only reason I did not give it5 stars is the size. I knew it would be small, as I was given the dimensions. And initially I like the fact that it was so small, fits easily into shirt pocket. However after using it for a few days, I was wishing for more room. With that being said, all in all, I am very pleased with the product. Super well made, and I know it is going to give me years of service.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is the second wallet writer I have purchased in the last 10 years. Still using mine, this last one bought for a M.E. graduate just getting started. The value and usefulness were evident immediately. Truly a very handy tool for office or home, male or female.
Ingenious and Useful
By fictionwriter

You're a male at a no-jacket event but will need to take a few notes? Where do you keep a notebook? This is the solution. It fits in a pants pocket with almost no bulge. And you don't have to use the Levenger card refills that are made for it: business cards fit perfectly, and the center section holds (barely) the half-size 3x5 cards I use very frequently. Conclusion: fills a need very well, although seems a little pricey.

I've been a fan of Levenger products for years now. I finally got the Slim Wallet Writer with Pen about 2 years after my Slim Wallet Writer was stolen. It took that long to get over my loss. But I'm glad I did. There's so much information I try to absorb during my day. If I'm not writing down what you're telling me, there's not much of a chance I'll remember. Especially as a new first time dad! This is a stylish way to keep track of my to-do list and new contacts. Hopefully, my initials will prevent this one from being stolen too. Not that I could blame the thief!

This item is for small hands, and even smaller shirt pockets. It is quality leather. It is quality value. It is smaller than would normally fit in the shirt pocket--lot smaller than it appeared on the website. Still, it practical for jotting notes or lists. I love the fact that it comes with plenty of additional cards. Go ahead--get one for yourself!

Small enough to fit in a front pants pocket but packs a lot of punch. This handy little note taking device helps keep day to day business in order and is also there for the "aha!" moment. Well made and should last for quite some time.

I enjoy the slim writer as it is a practical note holder on the go. I often come up with ideas for work and the slim writer is there, not taking up too much space, for my ideas. I would recommend for any business professional that travels a lot.
So handy and so beautiful

I needed something smaller than the pocket briefcase to minimize the "stuff" in my purse. This is great - pen included. I am always trying to remember something someone told me to read, view, cook, eat, etc. This is just right to jot those things down and keep in one place. Also great for the pocket when I only want to carry credit cards, cash and a pen. Leather is soft and the red is a great color.
Good product
By Midwesterner

I needed a new case for my business cards, and this one serves the purpose beautifully. It gives me the added benefit of the small pen and notecards, which are very useful. It's an attractive and compact item with a professional look. It seems to be of good quality.

The Durango High School boys tennis team is going to the state tournament.
Demons� No. 1 singles player Ryder Searle took first place at the regional tennis tournament at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction on Saturday, earning him a berth into the CHSAA Class 4A Boys Tennis State Championships starting Thursday in Pueblo.
�He was really focused and did a good job playing throughout the tournament,� DHS head coach Reagyn Germer said.
�He�s been working on his mental game, and that will determine how well he does (at state). He has good fundamentals, and I think that he�s a good player so I think he has a chance to do really well there.�
The No. 1 (Dylan Blair and Patrick Neal), No. 3 (Jalen Muller and Drew Downs) and No. 4 (Harrison Quick and Tim Martin) doubles teams also are alternates for the tournament after each took third place at regionals.
�I think the competition and the match play (over the season) gave them really great experiences that we applied (this weekend),� Germer said.
No. 3 singles Wesley Komick took fourth, as did the No. 2 doubles team of Alec Ensign and Chris Walton.
Searle, a Pagosa Springs student who plays at DHS because his high school doesn�t have a tennis program, received a bye into the semifinals, where he beat Hotchkiss 6-2, 6-1 on Friday.
Saturday, he beat a Steamboat Springs player 6-3, 6-2 for the regional title.
Blair and Neal beat Cedaredge 6-0, 6-0 in the quarterfinals, lost to Aspen 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in the semifinals, then beat Montezuma-Cortez 6-1, 6-4 in Friday�s playbacks.
Saturday, they beat Montrose 6-2, 6-1 for third.
Muller and Downs beat Montezuma-Cortez 6-2, 6-2, lost to Steamboat Springs 6-1, 6-3, beat Montrose 6-3, 6-1, then lost to Aspen 6-3, 6-3 for third.
�They lost 6-3, 6-3, but it was a really good match. They played well, and they fought for every point out there,� Germer said.
Quick and Martin lost 6-2, 7-6 (6) to Steamboat Springs, beat Montezuma-Cortez 6-2, 6-1, then beat Montrose 6-2, 6-4 for third.
Komick beat Cedaredge 6-4, 6-4 in the quarters, lost to Steamboat Springs 6-0, 6-1, beat Montrose 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, then lost to Hotchkiss 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 for fourth.
Ensign and Walton wrapped up the placers, beating Cedaredge 6-3, 6-1, losing to Steamboat Springs 6-4, 6-1, beating Montezuma-0Cortez 6-1, 6-0, then losing to Montrose 6-2, 6-4 for fourth.
Durango�s No. 2 singles player, Aaron Cash, lost 6-3, 6-2 to Montezuma-Cortez on Friday and was knocked out of the tournament.
Germer said regionals was a good way for the team as a whole to end its season, and she said she saw �steady improvement� across all players over the season, her first as head coach.
Still, she said she was most proud of the way all of her players handled themselves on the court regardless of the outcome over the weekend.
�I told the guys I was really proud of them for being such good sportsmen on the court,� Germer said. �All of them were respectful of their opponents.�

Former reality TV participant Alicia Guastaferro has agreed to accept a $10,000 settlement of her lawsuit against the owner of several local strip clubs.
Guastaferro, 21, who appeared as a teenage daughter on ABC's "Wife Swap" in 2008, is part of a federal court suit accusing Mustang Sally's Spirits and Grill and others of not paying overtime and other compensation to their employees.
In her court papers, Guastaferro contends that she worked as a dancer at the clubs and that, like other employees, including one who also has received a settlement, was denied proper compensation.
Guastaferro, in a separate case, faces charges stemming from an Aug. 27 incident in which she was found in a car at a Thruway rest stop with a Rochester attorney. A charge of prostitution against Guastaferro has been dropped.

Much of the unease speakers have about citing sources in speeches revolves around legitimate concerns about style, i.e., how citations might hurt the sound and "flow" of the speech. Putting in a complete citation of author, title, date, and publisher, as one would do in academic writing, can sound pedestrian and dull. A better model might be what is customary practice in other forms of responsible writing, such as good magazine journalism and other forms of nonfiction. Here it seems to be generally accepted practice to acknowledge, at a minimum, the author of borrowed material. More information is included to the extent that the writer or speaker considers it useful for the purposes of the piece and the interests of the audience. Sometimes, for instance, the date of a cited source is crucial; sometimes it is not. Crediting the author at least satisfies the basic requirement that a speaker let the listeners know what has been borrowed from someone else.
This fundamental concern is captured with economy and force in Sprague and Stuart's injunction to "be especially clear about what is yours and what is not. Give credit not only for direct quotations, but also for ideas that you paraphrase. Avoid the slightest hint of plagiarism" (The Speaker's Handbook, 4th ed. Fort Worth TX: Harcourt Brace & Co. 1996).
Questions still may arise over how, lacking the graphic devices used in writing, a speaker should identify borrowed material. There are many ways of citing sources in a speech, some more effective than others. Consider first the options a speaker has for indicating direct quotations. Some speakers like to precede a quotation with "quote" and follow it with "unquote" or "close quote." But that may sound stilted to some listeners. There are many other language choices that are more natural-sounding. Try phrases like these:
President Wilson said it best when he noted that "Blah, blah, blah."
In Senator Smith's words, "the legislation...blah, blah, blah"
Professor Wiseman offered a different view: "Blah, blah, " he said, "and blah."
Notice how it's done in the following two examples (from S. Lucas, The Art of Public Speaking, 7th ed. Boston: McGraw-Hill. 2001.):
President Reagan, in his tribute to the astronauts lost in the Challenger explosion, compared them with the explorer Sir Francis Drake, who had died on a ship off the coast of Panama exactly 390 years earlier. Mr. Reagan said this: "In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and an historian later said, 'He lived by the sea, died on it, was buried in it.' Well, today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake's, complete."
A student honoring Holocaust survivors observed that it was important to continue to tell their stories, and quoted Elie Wiesel: "As the Holocaust survivor and writer Elie Wiesel once said, 'Not to transmit an experience is to deny it.'"
And here's another example: "Albert Einstein had some thoughts on surveys and statistics. Einstein said, 'Not everything that counts can be counted. And not everything that can be counted counts.'"
Attributing a paraphrased passage is even easier. The speaker simply needs to work in a phrase that indicates whom the idea is borrowed from. And if, as sometimes happens, the speaker can't recall exactly from where or whom an idea or expression came, he or she can always fall back on "someone once said..." or "someone has written..." or even "I don't know exactly whom to credit for this, but it applies to our current situation..." As imprecise as these methods are, they at least satisfy the basic ethical requirement to let your listeners know what is and is not yours.

LISBON - A village councilman is concerned a sharp decline in the general fund balance could mean problems in the future if the trend continues.
Council President Roger Gallo expressed his concern after village Fiscal Officer Tracey Wonner reported at Monday's meeting that the general fund currently has a $41,000 balance with two weeks left in the year.
"If you're telling me we're only $41,000 from being in red ink, I don't think that's good," he said.
"That does cut it close, but when you only have so much revenue ..." Wonner said.
The village ended 2011 with a general fund balance of $78,000, based on general fund spending of $1.49 million. The general fund covers the police, fire, fiscal, income tax and zoning departments, the mayor's office, council and solicitor.
While Wonner viewed the balance decline from $78,000 to $41,000 as troubling, she said it should be viewed in context with several other factors, such as the fact village revenue has largely remained flat in recent years while operating costs continue to increase.
"My appropriations haven't changed much in the past three years," she said..
Wonner said the village has also remained in the black while continuing to undertake a number of costly projects, although not all of them have a direct impact on the general fund.
"It might not be great, but considering everything, it could be worse," she said.
Gallo said his criticism was not directed at Wonner but meant as a warning for council to keep a sharper eye on finances, especially if spending continues to outpace revenue, which could force them to make some difficult decisions.
"There's no malice behind it, and I'm not saying spending is out of line. I'm just wondering whether we're at the point where we have more government than we can afford," he said.
Meanwhile, council passed a proposed 2013 budget on first reading that sets the total village budget at $3.14 million, including $1.35 million for the general fund departments.
Before any of this discussion occurred, council approved general fund expenditures totaling $23,000 for continued renovation of the old street department garage so it can be reused and to make the semi-annual payment on the loan used to fund the downtown renovation project of the late 1990s.

Teen Health
Overweight, Obese Teens Show Early Heart Risks
May 21, 2012 -- Two new studies show the early health risks the ever-enlarging number of obese U.S. teens face, from diabetes to heart damage.
According to new research from the CDC, many overweight and obese teens who appear otherwise healthy already have heart disease risk factors such as high blood pressure. As many as 60% of obese teens are affected.
Many obese teens also have troubling physical changes in their heart, such as thicker heart muscle walls, according to another new study.
Even some teens who are normal weight have some heart disease risk factors, the CDC team found.
"Parents should be concerned and aware of these findings," says researcher Ashleigh L. May, PhD, an epidemiologist at the CDC.
"The main story here is that in addition to obesity, you need to be aware of these other potential risk factors for cardiovascular disease, that these risk factors are present relatively early," May tells WebMD.
The CDC study is published in Pediatrics, while the heart muscle findings are being presented today at the Heart Failure Congress 2012 in Belgrade, Serbia.
Teens and Heart Disease Risk: New Findings
The CDC researchers looked at nearly 3,400 teens and pre-teens, ages 12 to 19. They looked at 1999-2000 data and 2007-2008 data from a large national health study called NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey).
As body mass index (BMI) rose, so did the risk factors, May tells WebMD.
"As weight increases, we observed an increase in the percentage of adolescents who had at least one cardiovascular risk factor," she says.
Among these risk factors are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar.
The researchers found at least one heart disease risk factor present in:
- 60% of obese teens
- 50% of overweight teens
- 37% of healthy-weight teens
May can't say why the healthy-weight teens had risk factors. "It could be poor diet, or lack of physical activity; we can't say for sure," she says.
The percent of teens who were found to have high blood pressure or be in danger of getting it didn't change between the two time periods.

It's hard to top St. Patrick's Cathedral, not only as a church, architectural treasure and municipal monument, but also as a venue of drama This applies as well to the Cathedral's music program, which has had almost as many high and low moments as New York City itself.
I've just finished reading a wonderful book by St. Patrick's Cathedral musical historian and cantor, Salvatore Basile, titled Fifth Avenue Famous (Fordham University Press, 2010). Whether your interest is music, New York history or you simply love an inside story, you will really enjoy this book. And if, like me, you come to the Cathedral regularly, it may explain a few things you have heard and seen.
I have been present for many of those highs and lows as the Cathedral's music directors, organists, and singers juggled Gregorian chant and polyphonic anthems with the requirements of the post-Vatican II church while, at the same time, responding to the personal preferences of an assortment of archbishops and rectors.
One or two music directors even tried to resist. I recall a Sunday in 1989 or 1990 when longtime conductor John Grady led what had to be the liveliest rendition of the Welsh air, "Cwm Rhondda," outside of the Welsh Rugby Union. I am not 100 percent certain which set of lyrics Grady used – it might have been "Guide Me Now, O Great Jehovah" with its reference to the Bread of Heaven because this all took place as the congregation received Communion – but I will never forget the sight of Cardinal John O'Connor listening to it. I think I saw steam coming out of his ears.
Until I read Fifth Avenue Famous, I had no notion that the two men had been on a collision course since the Cardinal's arrival in 1984. Grady had failed to understand who was in charge and that Cardinal O'Connor wanted the Liturgy to be complemented by the music, not the other way around. Cardinal O'Connor was an enthusiastic proponent of congregational singing, too. Actually, he knew and appreciated fine music a great deal more than Grady and a lot of other people ever realized.
Sal Basile's book is filled with facts that add to the legend of the Cathedral. Did you know, for example, that the Kilgen organ you hear every day at St. Patrick's was preceded by a Jardine, which was briefly (and probably erroneously) billed as the largest in the world? The Jardine owed its highly touted sound as much to a small army of treadle-pumping Irishmen as it did to the many great organists who played it.
Did you also know that Italian composer Pietro Yon, who was perhaps the best known of the Cathedral's conductors, had a sense of humor that was nowhere near as tasteful as his music? And that when Pope Benedict XVI arrived at St. Patrick's in April of 2008, organist Daniel Brondel had to call his mother in France to give him his music cue because the Secret Service would not tell him when the pope was supposed to enter the church?
From William Pecher, who led the music at the first Mass in our Cathedral on May 25, 1879, to Dr. Jennifer Pascual, the first woman music director, appointed by Cardinal Edward Egan in 2003, 131 years worth of musicians have stamped their personalities and music on the Cathedral. Sal Basile has gathered their stories in a book I enjoyed so much that I read it from cover to cover in one night.
Whether you are a St. Patrick's regular, a liturgist, a musician or someone who just likes a great story, you are going to love Fifth Avenue Famous, too.

Locklyn Kyla Vaughn, who weighed 7 lbs. and measured 20 inches long, was born at a hospital in Chicago, Vaughn's hometown. The actor's rep confirms the good news.
"Both of them couldn't be happier to welcome their sweet little girl into their family!" says a friend of the couple's.
It's a first child for both Vaughn, 40, and Weber, a Canadian real estate agent, who married in January 2010.
When Weber's pregnancy was announced in July, a source close to the Couples Retreat star told PEOPLE that the pair were thrilled about the baby, saying, "They're having so much fun together and they're so excited to be first-time parents!"

The primary care workplaces we studied involve many challenges for practicing physicians. Work conditions, including workflow (time pressure and a chaotic work pace), job characteristics (lack of work control), and poor organizational culture were strongly associated with adverse physician reactions. Some work conditions were associated with poorer patient care, but the associations were inconsistent. Adverse physician reactions, such as dissatisfaction, stress, and burnout, were not associated with poorer patient care. Our findings may explain current difficulties in recruiting and retaining primary care physicians but leave open the question of whether adverse work conditions influence health care quality and safety.

So, if PCP's DO mess up , they should not be paid (eg paid enough to decrease the number of visits and phone calls they have daily) , they don't deserve it. If they DON"T mess up then everything is fine and we don;t have to improve their admittedly chaotic lives by paying them enough to hire some help or cut down on visits /day.
One response to the primary care shortage, and the one that our admin has taken is to just force the remaining docs to take more patients . Perfect--we do more (unpaid) care by phone, patients are resaonably happy, no money wasted on admittedly fruitless recruiting, and the whole problem is swept under the rug. If I finally kill someone by accident as I am charting at 11pm nightly, and the work flow is improved its too high a price.
When I was a computer programmer my products seldom crashed and had to go therough only a few trial versions. I was a prompt and effecient waitress, and a polite receiptionist. I even did a tidy ,low-error job stuffing circuit boards and wiring amplifiers . Now the fact that I can't do a workman-like job is not because of my choices. Its that the demands are set by business people who think more visits =more revenue , its better. That even means the visits you have to schedule because the patient couldn't get an appt and went to urgent care . My favorite description was "physicians are your sales force" meaning without them patients wouldn't buy the profitable stuff . The guy was serious , unfortunately .
None declared
I doubt seriously that the authors' suggestion of the patient- centered medical home will do much to improve the chaotic and dissatisfying professional lives that most primary care physicians endure. In fact, the medical home will increase the mind- numbing scut work that constantly interrupts their work flow and composure.
The authors use phrases like "poor organizational culture", "chaotic work pace", and "time pressure" to describe some of the negative factors that make primary care physicians' lives unfulfilling professionally, but there are many others and the medical home will only make them worse. Why? Because the typical primary care doctor's life is increasingly less occupied with direct medical care. Instead their days have become one long disconnected and frenetic attempt to balance patients' demands with an ever-increasing amount of side-issues like dealing with insurers, home health agencies, and pharmacies. These and many other issues create endless interruptions that stultify and fluster primary care doctors.
Many patients rely on their primary care doctors for tracking down X- ray reports, scans, and lab tests that were done by specialists to whom they were sent. Many CAT scans disclose "incidentalomas" that require phone calls and further work-up and further consultations (this is one area that is time-intensive and the satisfaction pay- back is minimal).
Via their constantly running fax machines primary care doctors receive all the lab reports and imaging studies that other doctors have ordered. This forces them to read and react to innumerous bits of information throughout the day. In my two-doctor group I spend about 30- 45 minutes every day before I even see my first patient going over all the reports that have come in during the night. Not to mention to mention those that come throughout the day.
All of the scut work, euphemistically called coordinating work, that other health care workers enjoy doing will now being laid at the door step of primary care physicians, once it is known that they are getting paid for the added work. But no amount of money will ever make up for the added stress and confusion and chaos that the medical home will bring. Even if they are paid more,primary care physicians will have to hire more ancillary staff to help deal with the work which will nullifies any financial benefits.
The point is that what primary care needs is more man power to handle the load. Shortening the training period of primary care doctors by less intense exposure to the basic sciences and shortening the college years so that their training reflects what the reality of medicine requires of them. Another is using nurse practitioners to act independently in some primary care areas. Finally, some specialists could very well act as primary care doctors for some of their patients(this will give them a great opportunithy to experience primary care first-hand). All of these plans could increase the primary care work force.
Primary care physicians' quiet desperation is nothing to laugh at. The solution requires bold innovation. Organizational changes have their place, but only by increasing the primary care workforce will the work load, the stress, and the chaos that exists come under control.
When I read academic proposals for primary care, I often wonder: Why don't they ask us?
I am a general internist. I practiced primary care in what today would be called an "Accountable Healthcare Organization," the favored delivery system of many in Washington. My situation was exactly as described by Linzer, et al.(1) and Professor Mechanic(2); chaotic and frantic, with numerous, ever-changing requirements imposed by others, without input from us. The killer requirement was productivity; so many patients a day. It was a turbo-charged assembly line. If I was not seeing a patient, as far as the system was concerned, I was not working. There was no time to consult with specialists about mutual patients. Everything other than office visits""telephone calls, emails, reviewing patient records and reports, answering questions, visiting my hospitalized patients""was pushed into my own time, after work.
Thus, even though our system was not financed by fee-for-service, and we were all on salary (so no incentive for needless "volume"), we pushed tasks into office visits whenever possible, to avoid half again as much work after the workday as during it.
Productivity requirements defeat the whole idea of substituting quality for quantity. To improve quality, the system has to trust physicians to decide the best use of their time: sometimes calling patients, consulting with colleagues, or reviewing records, is more efficient than additional office visits(3). Gordon, et al.(4) demonstrate what happens when physicians are required to see patients continuously; they sometimes miss important results. And this in a system with a first-rate EMR, and, per Mechanic(2), contented physicians (although he offers no evidence for this).
However appealing the AHO may appear in theory, it is the exact opposite of what patients and physicians seek; instead, they want more time together, so that the physician can conscientiously care for the whole patient, and the patient learns to trust the physician. Together, physicians and well-to-do patients have developed a simpler, more humane alternative, the "concierge" practice. We could finance concierge practices for everyone by reprogramming money from expensive procedures, tests and imaging, and holding specialists (who understand them best) accountable for recommending them more judiciously.
Until then, physicians will resent systems that do not respect them as professionals(5), and will continue to vote with their feet. Sick patients may still find themselves handed off like widgets.
Medicine is more than metrics. We are helping people, not manufacturing health.

Dr. Caroline Poplin's rapid response (Hamster Health care, July 20) merits a comment.
First, although the concierge mode of practice, as she suggested is successful with well-to-do patients, extending it to everyone would be almost impossible because there are not enough primary care doctors around to do the job.
Second, she mentioned an article in which a large number of clinicians using electronic medical records had not recorded that an abdominal aortic aneurysm had been reported by a radiologist. Her point about primary care doctors who are simply seeing too many patients in order to make a living is an excellent one. Missing an important piece of clinical information as a result of information over load could also be generalized to other imaging tests and laboratory results as well.
The point is that many primary care doctors are simply working too hard to do a good job. And working too hard and seeing too many patients increases their chances of missed diagnoses and increased medical liability, besides robbing them of job satisfaction and their patients of "encounter satisfaction."
Perhaps if advanced practice nurses and physician assistants were to play larger and more independent roles in delivering some aspects of primary care it might work both of these problems would be alleviated. But the political challenges are immense.
In the article (1), Linzer and colleagues mentioned that their findings were inconsistent with previously reported the relationships between adverse outcomes of providers and lower quality of patient care. However, the inconsistency seems reasonable because the component of quality measured by Linzer and colleagues (processes and outcomes in terms of technical quality of care) differed from that in the previous studies (interpersonal quality of care).
In his conceptual model, Donabedian (2) defined three components of quality: technical quality of care, interpersonal quality of care, and amenities. Technical quality of care describes the extent to which the use of health care services meets predefined standards of acceptable or adequate care relative to need, i.e. patient receipt of the recommended care. Interpersonal quality describes the characteristics of interaction between provider and patient. Although most of the previous studies describing the associations between adverse physician reactions and the quality of patient care have used elements of interpersonal care, such as patient satisfaction, as the quality of care measures, the relationship between physician reactions and technical quality of care has not been established.
Our recent study which examined the relationship between job satisfaction of hospital physicians in Japan and the technical quality of care, with an emphasis on process qualities as measured by quality indicators, also showed no association between physician job satisfaction and the technical quality of care(3). Although work conditions of Japanese hospital physicians are much poorer than those of the physicians in the US, they have not translated their dissatisfaction into lower-quality of technical care so far. However, the increases of hospital physician resignations have resulted in a number of Japanese hospitals curtailing or failing to provide services.
The physicians are likely to leave in silence from the dissatisfied, stressful workplaces rather than compromising the technical quality of care they provide.
