A new national report shows some hurdles keeping Oklahomans from dental care. One of the biggest issues is cost.
More than 90,000 Oklahomans don't have access to dental care, according to the study by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured. Dentists say not getting basic care can lead to more serious problems sometimes requiring patients to get dental surgery.
The study says there are plenty of dentists in the state providing care. Only 3.9 percent of Oklahoma residents live in an area where they don't have access to a dentist.

3 Things to Remember When Things Aren't As They Seem
In the early 90s, Mrs. TT and I moved to Taiwan as missionaries. We lived in a large, densely populated city (Taipei), and in our first two years had no other responsibilities than to learn to speak Mandarin. I've written some about the experience of being immersed in a language as the very best way to learn to speak a new language.
But funny things certainly happened along the way to learning a new language. Sometimes they were funny things we got ourselves into, and sometimes they were things that we saw.
They helped us learn a few things along the way.
All is Not Sweet
One day, after we had been in Taipei 3 or 4 months, we were headed home from language school. As we passed a bakery (which were not plentiful, but not unknown even then) we spotted some amazing looking favorites in the window that we had to have: jelly filled donuts!
So we headed in, and in our best Chinese (which was also our worst Chinese at the time), we ordered the donuts.
With them in hand, we headed out of the door. We couldn't wait to get home, so we bit right in then and there.
Were we ever surprised when we realized it wasn't jelly in those donuts. It was red bean paste! YUCK!
One Thing To Remember: The lesson we took away that day is sometimes things that look so amazingly good, turn out to be something else entirely. It is very easy to be taken in by the first appearance, but far too many of us end up with regrets because we leapt to some action without any deliberation.
Some Things Are NOT Safe
Years later we were still living in Taipei, but had moved in to our work. We were living on the 4th floor of an apartment building that overlooked a massive stretch of new construction (from land reclaimed by straightening out a river). We could see down a major road from our balcony.
One September a typhoon headed toward Taipei. This one was not a huge typhoon, as those things go, but it packed a lot of rain in to a short period (36 inches in a 24 hour stretch). Flooding was widespread, with much of Taipei inundated by the waters.
Since we were pretty much stuck at home with no where to go (flooding was to the second floor in some areas near us), we spent our time watching the comings and goings of people out driving on that major road by our apartment. I had already moved our car to higher ground and out of the parking garage.
We had seen one car abandoned by the side of the road the night before. When we woke up that morning, the flood waters had risen to the top of the car.
What amazed us though, were the people who would drive down the road able to see the water up to the top of a car, yet continue to drive in as if some how the water up to the roof of another car on that same street would not reach the top of their car too!
A Second Thing To Remember: Just because something looks improbable does not mean that it is not real and actually dangerous. Life is full of people who didn't think something was dangerous who learn the hard way just how many dangers are around us.
Somethings Are Simply Not What You Think
But one of the funniest things that we saw in the time we were in Taiwan happened one Sunday while we were at church.
We were attending a Mandarin speaking congregation in Taipei. It was a Baptist church, and it was a Sunday when we were taking The Lord's Supper.
If you've never been to a Baptist church and never taken The Lord's Supper there, a wee bit of background is in order.
Many (most?) Baptist churches do not use real wine in the Lord's Supper (we do use real bread–at least most times; there are times churches use these pressed wafers that really don't do any justice at all to "this bread is my body"). Instead of wine, grape juice is usually used.
One other pertinent piece of information is that traditionally Baptist churches have the elements of The Lord's Supper distributed to the congregation in the pews by church leaders called deacons. Little tiny plastic cups are used, and the congregation waits for the direction of the pastor to take the cup and eat the bread.
That particular morning nothing was any different than any other Sunday when the church took The Lord's Supper.
As the little cups were distributed (at the appropriate time in the service), nothing seemed amiss. The pastor gave a brief explanation of the role of the cup in Christian churches, and then instructed us all with the words of Christ to "drink, all of this, in remembrance of me".
The congregation all drank the cup at the same time, and everyone of us collectively did a major double take, with "Yuck" on our lips!
The reason? It turns out the church secretary that had been commissioned to buy the Welches Grape juice bought something that also had little purple fruit on the label — prune juice! To her credit, the juices were all imported and none had Chinese. She went totally on the look of the label and she had grabbed the wrong thing!
A Third Thing To Remember: Just because all appearances lead you to one conclusion, actual experience always trumps assumptions. Whatever we thought we were getting that Sunday, in the end, it was just prune juice.

Dallas and Florida have been dubbed the "trouble twins." They have been shuffled between foster families and orphanages all their lives, longing only for a loving place to call home, though mistrustful that one exists for the likes of them.
Tiller and Sairy are an eccentric older couple whose children are grown and long gone, and they're each restless for one more big adventure while their bodies are still spry enough to paddle a river or climb a mountain.
Ruby Holler is the beautiful, mysterious place that changes all their lives forever. When Tiller and Sairy invite Dallas and Florida to stay with them and keep them company on their adventures, the magic of the Holler takes over, and the two kids begin to think that maybe, just maybe, the old folks aren't so bad....
Filled with humor, poignancy, cookies, and treasure maps, Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech's Ruby Holler is a delightful book about a special place where it's never too late to be loved.

best thing I have ever seen for pro guns!!! way to go ABC!!!
December 30, 2005, 10:44 PM
Thanks for pointing it out. That was awesome. I have to wonder what ABC fatcat finaly decided to do a decent bit on gun control.
December 30, 2005, 10:44 PM
Hey Brady Bunch! :neener:
That was without a doubt the best mainstream news piece on gun control I've ever seen. I'm very VERY pleased.
December 30, 2005, 10:45 PM
I highly recommend John Stossel's http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060529148?v=glance
Good piece,to us it's nothing new but it falls on deaf ears to anyone who's dumb enough to believe Moore and Rosie et al.
December 30, 2005, 10:46 PM
Wasn't that refreshing:D I knew I liked John Stossel. He'll probably get fired for that.
Old Fuff
December 30, 2005, 10:48 PM
Most unusual... and interesting. In the past ABC has been as anti-gun as the other networks. Wonder what made them change?
December 30, 2005, 10:53 PM
We are always very quick, as a community, to attack our enemies who would spread lies about us.
Let's be just as quick to reward journalistic integrity. It was very risky for ABC to run that piece. We need to drown out the gun control nuts that are sure to complain.

I just sent my approving email. Won't you join me?

I wonder if it did impact his career at all. Gotta love his willingness to take the journalistically unpopular position based on *gasp* facts

Actually John Stossel was on the Factor with Bill O'Reilly a while back and Bill ask him about this story. Seems Stossel got in more than a little brown do-do for this but he does have a loyal following. John was able to go ahead with his story inspite of loud noises from above. Very brave, but he wasn't about to back down. A real good guy.

I'd hazard a guess that ABC's running it as part of the Demo camouflage campaign for the 2006 election (we're not against guns -- you're stupid to think that we are).
December 31, 2005, 07:57 AM
I didn't catch last nights showing, but it may have been a repeat of an earlier broadcast. If not, I'm very surprised he would be able to run it past the exec's two different times.

from the text of the article linked to above:
This report originally aired on "20/20" Jan. 23, 2004.
Still, kudos to ABC for airing it again. Just as valid today as it was in '04.
Perhaps ABC is realizing that the anti-gun bigots are losing popularity and credibility with America as a whole. I think they are starting to see that being 'anti gun' as being on the losing side. The actions of the VPC in Florida passing out flyers at airports enhanced our cause greatly... American sheeple could only be fed BS so long before seeing through the poop they were being fed :D
ABC runs pro-gun TV specials, San Francisco newspapers publish pro-gun articles... could this be the beginning of a tide turning? :)
December 31, 2005, 08:49 AM
Interesting that it was "Myth #3" in 2004, but "Myth #5" in 2005.

The Syracuse Crunch's season died an ugly death at roughly 9 p.m. on March 3.
At least, that's what any honest Crunch player would have said at the time.
Syracuse trailed St. John's 4-2 after two periods in the War Memorial. There was little hope for a pulse from a Crunch team that stood 14th out of 15 squads in the Eastern Conference, nine points out of a playoff spot.
"Honestly, probably not," Syracuse forward Troy Bodie said of his thoughts of a comeback at the time.
"No. No way," said Syracuse forward Dan Sexton. "I'd say that was the low point."
But Sexton tied that game with two third-period scores, and the Crunch tallied twice more for a 6-4 win. That began a 15-3-1-1 Syracuse streak to end the season, a run that earned the team a playoff spot and a first-round date against that same IceCaps squad.
"It's fitting that we're playing these guys," Sexton said. "That was definitely the turning point. It (hockey) started to be more fun. We weren't miserable coming to the rink. Then we started winning all these games we wouldn't have won before."
Which brings the Crunch to Friday, when it hosts Atlantic Division champ St. John's in the opening game of a best-of-five series. The contest will mark the first playoff game for the Crunch franchise since the 2007-08 season.
Syracuse, the No. 7 seed, comes in balancing the twin concepts of knowing it's the second-hottest team in the AHL (behind Norfolk) while also understanding all those points gathered since that St. John's win mean nothing.
"They've evolved into a team. They've earned the right to be here," said Crunch associate head coach Trent Yawney. "Now is not the time to wipe your brow and say, 'We're here.' If you think you've finally arrived, you're in trouble. I know our guys aren't thinking that."
Like all the teams in the playoffs, the Crunch is counting on the convergence of a variety of individual goals adding up to something special. Players will face intense scrutiny this season as front office personnel from around the NHL evaluate their own prospects plus maybe a veteran or two they could keep employed next year.
Youngsters like Sexton and Brandon McMillan don't have to worry about contracts since they are still locked up by the Ducks. But a strong playoff series or two can be a swing factor between jobs as minor-league depth guy or NHL role player in 2012-13.
"You can make a really good impression in the AHL playoffs," McMillan said.
"You make a deep playoff run, everyone's eyes are on you," Sexton said. "Certain players are in the NHL solely because of how they did in the AHL playoffs before. They (the Ducks) are done playing. They are going to look at us as a second chance to have success in the organization this year."
Syracuse second-year forward Kyle Palmieri is clearly in Anaheim's plans next season, perhaps in a huge way. Players like Palmieri, a first-team AHL all-star this season, can use playoffs as something of a graduate course to further prove they've outgrown this level.
Palmieri potted 33 goals in 51 games this year but has just one in his last 12. Yawney said scoring grows increasingly difficult this time of season but that his star continues to improve upon the little parts of his game.
"You don't really lose your scoring touch. Sometimes they just don't go in for you," Palmieri said. "At the beginning of the year, I was flying under the radar. People started to keep a better eye out for me. They made it clear in Anaheim they wanted me to be a part of this experience. It's one of those things you put under your belt."
While Palmieri could have job security as a top Ducks forward next season, veteran Syracuse forward J.F. Jacques and Bodie will try to get noticed amid the vast unrestricted free agent crowd. Entering that market with a productive playoff record can be a decisive factor in their favor.
"Every team wants some leaders and some guys who can win, especially at this level. The better a team does, the better you will do," Jacques said.
"Absolutely you can (earn a future deal). It's a bigger stage," Bodie said. "Individually, the best thing you can do for yourself is have a winning team. As a team, we want to go far."
How much Syracuse's long return from hopelessness helps the team from here on out will start to become apparent tonight.
"We're a confident group. We've played well in the last two months," Jacques said. "We're a team that knows how to win. But we're a team that has to execute right. We have to really dig in."

If you're asking "How to get your husband to love you again", sounds like your at a point in your marriage where you feel really unhappy and unloved.
Having to ask how to get your husband to love you is an indicative sign that you're not feeling the love. If you only read one thing on this website, READ THIS.
Sorry to say this but truth be told, you're asking yourself the wrong question. The question you need to be asking is…How do I love myself again?
Boggles your mind huh? Well, a lot of people don't realize this but when they are having problems outside in their external world (marriage problems for example), it's because your INTERNAL mind is in conflict and chaos.
Think about it. How many times have you ever felt bad when you were filled with confidence, high self-esteem, and immeasurable self worth? Never.
Stop asking yourself "How to get your husband to love you again."
Let's clearly define the true meaning of attraction. Attraction (interpersonal and romantic) is the attraction between two people that drawn each other together. If your inner self is in chaos right now, say your inner world has a bad case of the "grumpies" who do you think would be attracted to that?
In order to keep the love, you need to CULTIVATE it. If you want to know how to get your husband to love you, cultivate your love. You guys found love and somewhere down the road the stress of life has put your relationship on the back burner. If you want your husband to love you again, than you really need to take a deep look on the inside and tell me what you see. Here's the million dollar question..Do you love yourself?
When I say love yourself, do you truly and genuinely believe that you are an amazing, beautiful, attractive and god's gift to men kind of woman? If not, then you need to find your self worth, inner beauty an natural beautiful qualities that I know you have in there. That is how to get your husband to love you again.
When you feel your own appreciation and self love, you glow from the inside out. People will be drawn to you because your a magnet of everything warm and beautiful. The tables will turn and YOUR HUSBAND will seek out attention from you.
Ohhh Self Worth..Where Are You?
Changing how you feel about yourself is not going to happen over night, you need to consistently and mindfully be aware of your thoughts. Any eliminating beliefs or negative thoughts can slowly be knocked out of your head if you consciously make an effort to replace those bad thoughts with something more resourceful.
Many people lose their identity of who they are in a long term relationship. Remember the things you use to love to do before you got together with your husband? How many times have you spent a day just for yourself? If you want to know how to get your husband to love you again, learn to love yourself.
When people ignore their own needs, they begin to feel unsatisfied with their own life. They get this growing discontentment forming in the pit of their souls. Is this happening to you?

Much has been made recently about the growth of Boeing S.C. and its rising profile within the Chicago-based company.
While Boeing plans to cut thousands of jobs from its historic base around the Puget Sound, the North Charleston operation is poised for a major spurt, including another hiring spree and plant expansions.
Earlier this month, the state's top political brass and the company's top lawyer convened there to celebrate a deal wherein Boeing will invest $1.1 billion and hire 2,000 more people in exchange for $120 million in infrastructure support and various other tax benefits.
The sun shone brightly on Boeing S.C. that day, and the spotlight will return this week as top executives and investors descend on the site for Boeing's annual investor meeting.
Boeing declined to confirm the location, but a couple of analysts did. In a research note subtitled "Expecting Southern Charm at Investor Day," Citigroup's Jason Gursky said the Tuesday-Wednesday event will feature a facility tour and good news from management.
"Boeing has a lot of hope for Charleston's long-term potential in driving the 787 production rate above 10/month, a point we expect Boeing to highlight since it is holding its Investor Day in South Carolina," Gursky wrote.
In a Friday note subtitled "Some Things to Think About on the Plane to Charleston," Barclays analyst Carter Copeland wrote: "We expect investors to be impressed with the Boeing South Carolina ... facility and leadership ... as we were when we visited the facility last August for the first time since it was still owned by Vought back in 2007."
That seems likely, as the site is the picture of progress: construction on one side, full factories in the middle, and as many as seven finished airplanes lined up on the other side.
While Boeing has not disclosed the entire schedule of events, the company has said Wednesday morning's presenters will include Boeing CEO Jim McNerney and finance chief Greg Smith.
The presentation's will run from about 7:30 to 10:40 a.m. and can be heard via webcast or the investor page on www.boeing.com.

Deus Ex voice spamming?

Has anyone else had this problem? I've no idea why but recently I re-downloaded the Deus Ex trainer and when I activate it I get spammed by "Activated/Deactivated" voice until I can't stand it anymore. Interestingly when I try to crouch and sprint in Deus Ex the voice spam stops and when I drag the window around the voice stops then as well.
I've tried downloading other versions and
I've tried downloading other versions and

Redownload the trainer, make sure it's the correct version, disable any AV/Firewall/Other security software which may inteferre with the operation of the trainer, etc etc.
Follow the trainer troubleshooting guide.

Thanks Skyheart. I disabled as many programs as possible including my virus/malware scanners. I ran it in compatibility mode and administrator mode and still no luck.
I can't redownload it because I only had a one-time trainer download by purchasing a key for the CheatHappens Trainer Manager. Could that be a problem? Maybe I need to download the trainer as an Unlimited member?

I seem to be having the same problem, It's a little irritating.. considering I was hesitant on purchasing this trainer.. It's not as if I can re download it since I did the one time download as well. For some reason the cheats don't work and I hear that spamming activated/deactivated over and over.. I'm feeling a little robbed since I can't seem to find anyone on these forums with a solution.
I suppose I'll just keep looking.

Cher, Winona Ryder
Among this movie's multiple personalities are a morosely nostalgic one (brooding over reactions to President Kennedy's assassination), an antic one (Cher romping with Ryder and Christina Ricci, as her two daughters), a sloppy soap opera one (Ryder's unconvincingly sudden determination to lose her virginity and a too-coincidental crisis involving Ricci) and a sly, warm one (Bob Hoskins, as Cher's beau, cooking for her children because she makes only finger foods—three meals a day).
Some of this is entertaining, some of it foolish, and most of it is too eccentric to make much of an impact of any kind.
Directed by Richard (My Stepmother Is an Alien) Benjamin, who took it over partway from Frank Oz, it is set in 1963 and makes a big issue of the era, yet the film is riddled with anachronisms. Hoskins complains at one point, for instance, about how Astro Turf is ruining baseball, when Astro Turf wasn't even introduced into the major leagues until 1966. Eighties expressions like "Lighten up!" keep popping up, and people talk about Superman and Lois Lane kissing.
None of this ought to devastate anyone's day, of course, but such jarring annoyances throw the film off its rhythm, which is herky-jerky enough.
Ryder is quirkily appealing as a wildly maladjusted teenager (now, this is a kid who would have been a match for Edward Scissorhands) whose hobby is being embarrassed about her good-hearted mother's vaguely slutty and egregiously male-dependent behavior. Ricci is quietly likable as the sweet younger daughter whose talent for swimming accounts for only part of the title—Cher's mermaid New Year's Eve costume gets in there too.
Cher herself is offhandedly sarcastic. It seems like a routine performance for her, a throwback to her old TV show persona, especially against Hoskins, who is winningly earnest.
The script by June (Experience Preferred...but Not Essential) Roberts from Patty Dann's novel has its best moments in Ryder's stream-of-consciousness voice-overs—at one point she wonders whether nuns have pure thoughts "every second of the day"—but it's too often on the glib side. When a boyfriend tells Cher he's going on vacation without her, she says, "Not only are you not taking me on this trip, you're taking another woman!" He answers, "She's not just another woman. She's my wife!"
Then there's Hoskins telling Cher, "Time catches up. What can you do?" When she replies, "Keep moving," it's to groan for.
The saving grace is that the way the movie keeps lunging back and forth, you know that any bad moment isn't likely to last too long. (PG-13)

A family practitioner based in Santa Barbara, California, is being charged with over prescribing pain killers to patients. The charges were revealed after the family of one of his patients decided to sue him for wrongful death after their son, Adam Montgomery, died. According to court affidavit, Dr. Julio Diaz was allegedly prescribing 24-year-old Montgomery an average of 63 prescription pills a day in the six weeks prior to his death.
Montgomery first sought Diaz's help after he sustained a back injury at work in 2008, at which time Diaz formulated an opiate plan for him. According to the Santa Barbara Independent, Montgomery was prescribed a total of 2,087 opiate pills during the last six weeks of his life.
According to Noozhawk, Diaz, who was arrested by the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency in January, faces several federal criminal complaint charges of distribution of controlled substances outside the scope of professional practice and without legitimate medical purpose. However, despite the charges, Diaz pleaded not guilty in federal court to 12 counts of over prescribing medication and is currently being held without bail. Four of the counts claim he prescribed medication to a patient younger than 21.
Diaz is currently facing a total sentence of 300 years, 20 of which would contribute to distribution counts and 40 years for each of the distribution charges to patients under the age of 21. This isn't the first time Diaz has been in the spotlight, according to the source. Although this is the first federal case he has been involved in, the California Medical Board considered revoking Diaz's medical license in March citing gross negligence among other offenses.
Diaz is also accused of trading sexual favors for prescriptions, according to the Santa Barbara Independent. Many of the pills Diaz prescribed ended up being sold on the streets, which allegedly led to many drug overdoses. The source reports that several medical professionals who worked with Diaz filed complaints with the board regarding his prescribing practices, but nothing was ever done. In October 2009, three doctors and one nurse drafted a letter to the board which went into detail regarding some of his patients' situations.
"We have seen several patients who became addicted to large doses of narcotics prescribed by Dr. Diaz, and know of one fatality associated with overdose of narcotics prescribed by Dr. Diaz. He is often described as a 'Doctor you can get anything from' by patients," they wrote, according to the Independent. "For example, a recent patient was prescribed 120 Oxycontin 40 mg tablets, 150 Methadone 10 mg tablets, 120 Fentanyl 2 mg tablets, and 120 Xanax 2 mg tablets in a single month for menstrual cramps. We have previously raised concerns with the Medical Board regarding Dr. Diaz's prescribing practices but are corresponding again because we continue to see patients who have become addicted under his care."
According to Noozhawk, Montgomery's family became worried after they watched his life changing drastically. They allegedly asked for Diaz to stop prescribing medications at such a high dosage and frequency; however, nothing changed. In addition to calling Diaz's office, the family complained to the medical board multiple times.
"The thing that struck me most about their case was to know that they tried to stop the prescription of these pain meds," a legal expert said, according to Noozhawk.
Diaz is not set to go on trial until the fall, but Montgomery's family decided to file the wrongful death lawsuit in July to be in compliance with a statute of limitations.

Community giving brought smiles
On behalf of 80 happy family members and the Northshore YMCA staff, we wish to extend a hearty thank you for the community's involvement in our "2001 Members Helping Members" holiday giving program.
Due to uncertain times and many local layoffs, this proved to be a difficult year for many families. Our community's contributions of food and gift baskets, toys, gift certificates and many useful items were just what we needed to bring a smile to the face of our Northshore neighbors.
In 2000, we were able to help 17 families, but with your help we were able to double our outreach and help 34 Northshore community families through this holiday season. Many parents extended smiles and appreciation as they were able to provide a much more joyous holiday for their children.
Thank you for making the holidays happy for local children and members of our community.
Vana Moore, Single Parent Family Program Director, Northshore YMCA

5 biggest issues facing doctors in 2012
The biggest issues impacting doctors in 2011 are going to be dogging them into 2012 says the Physicians Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports physicians.
The foundation's Physicians Watch List for 2012, released earlier this week, identifies five key areas the organization believes will have the biggest impact on doctors next year.
They are:
1. The changing nature of medical practices. As operating practices becomes increasingly more challenging, doctors are faced with choices such as affiliating with hospitals or joining a group practice.
2. Decreased return on increased burden. More regulations and administrative burdens often means less time with patients and more frustration for doctors, especially as they face a Medicare payment cut effective Jan. 1.
3. Acute shortages of primary care physicians. Fewer primary care physicians in the face of more patients means those in practice will have to shoulder more responsibilities.
4. Critical need for physician leadership tools and skills. In order for doctors to survive and thrive in the changing healthcare landscape, they will need to focus more on business and people management.
5. Impact on patients. Doctors will have to figure out how to juggle their increased burdens – decreasing reimbursement, more regulations and administrative tasks – while improving quality of care.
The foundation's Physicians Watch List was generated based on the organization's nationwide polls of doctors, from researching the literature about what doctors are currently facing and listening to the members of its board, many of whom are from medical societies, said Lou Goodman, PhD, president of the Physicians Foundation.
"We felt that these (key areas) would really help doctors and help their societies that represent doctors to provide services to keep quality high and maintain a viable practice," he said.
"We've kind of painted this picture: Look at all these potentially horrible things that are happening," Goodman added, "but there's an answer and we're going to try to provide resources and funding to try to help you address them … well, to the extent we can."

Community Inequality Is Biggest Economic Obstacle in RI
By Bob Plain on January 3, 2013
The biggest problem affecting Rhode Island's economy is not high taxes, pension benefits or special interests. Not even close. It's the income inequality that exists between the affluent suburbs and the depressed urban areas. An extremely important post in Pacific Standard today highlights this, in part, by pointing out that while Providence is closing schools […]

Clinical Question
Are cranberry products (juice, tablets, capsules, and syrup) associated with prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs) compared with placebo or other treatments?
Bottom Line
Cranberry products are not associated with prevention of UTIs. However, lack of association of cranberry products with a reduced incidence of UTIs in clinical trials may be due to lack of participant adherence, lack of sufficient active ingredient in the cranberry product, or lack of sufficient statistical power.

Special Deliveries
Hello mom, dad and Doula!
Photography: Hillary Maybery
Doula Larsen Peterson strokes and calms Kate Heinecke as she and her husband Jeff await their meeting with baby Pete.
(page 1 of 2)
Larsen Harris Peterson follows the same ritual each time she enters the labor and delivery room: "I take a deep breath and say, 'Match the rhythm of this room.' Every labor has its own rhythm and you need to match that to truly support the laboring mom."
Peterson is a doula (from the Greek word meaning woman of service), conventionally known as a labor support specialist or birth doula. As such, she has helped more than 350 Valley women and their partners enjoy the birth of their children.
The modern doulas' careers encompass a number of different roles: friend, mentor, labor coach, advocate, a reassuring voice in the midst of arduous and painful or unexpected labor complications.
"I have the best job on earth. I don't think anyone loves their job as much as I love mine," Peterson declares.
"It is not always obvious that Larsen is a hired doula versus a good friend because Larsen seems to integrate with the delivering family so well," says Dr. Nicole Menegakis, an obstetrician at St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center.
I have personally experienced this committed love for her job twice, as Larsen stayed through the night to help my husband and me through the labors and births of our two children, Dr. Menegakis' observations point to Peterson's most valued trait as a doula: her ability to meld like family within what is for many parents the most intimate experiences of their lives.
Peterson describes this as "tapping into each mother's needs and assessing the situation."
Her magic extends to those professionals working around her, transforming the elements of hard steel and sterile linens into a cozy atmosphere.
"Larsen is very good at creating a more natural environment for the laboring patient in our hospital setting," says St. Luke's labor and delivery nurse, Amy Downey. "She really puts women at ease and totally supports and respects their decisions both in unmedicated and medicated births.
"Larsen also understands the clinical picture and really helps us, as nurses, provide for a safe delivery as well as for a positive birth experience. She is wonderful to work with!"
Peterson, of course, says her role as a doula is nonclinical. Technically, that is because her job is to take care of the mother from the waist up. A mid-wife, who is certified through the state, is able to deliver the child in a private home, but usually does not have hospital privileges.
But, even with the differentiation, she still strives to work as part of the labor and delivery team. While the doctor and nurses are busy addressing the physical needs of the laboring mother, Peterson focuses on the mother (and partner's) emotional needs. "Larsen's agenda seems to be to support the mother without interfering with the mother's birth plans or the staff's work. I've worked with other doulas in other hospitals in the past and not all doulas are like that," Dr. Menegakis expounds.
In the labor and delivery room, "I'm part of the team. I'm not taking away anyone's place," Peterson explains. Averse to conflict in her personal life, Peterson feels strongly that conflict must be avoided in the labor room. Her fundamental belief that conflict and fear can create hindrances in childbirth dictates the respectful demeanor she presents in working with parents and hospital staff. Both professionally and personally, Peterson displays a great gift for compassion and empathy, as well as skills of acceptance and support in most situations.
"I love working with Larsen," obstetrician Dr. Joe Rodriguez says. "I wish there were enough Larsens around to be at every birth."
Because she has a full-time job as the coordinator of childbirth education and certified childbirth educator at St. Luke's, Peterson's doula work requires very careful scheduling. She's got to be ready for the 3 a.m. call saying she's needed NOW.
She says, "Three a.m. is the most common time for calls. I am on call 24/7 two weeks either side of their due date. She adds, My other job is pretty flexible. I have to preplan EVERYTHING . . . just in case.
Peterson's clients sign a contract requiring $100 up front and a balance of $700 due a month after the birth. But even in the contract she says she is more than willing to let the birth parents decide how much they can afford to pay beyond the initial $100. >>>

A LANDOWNER who faced losing her home during a two-year planning nightmare has won her battle.
Samantha Beck, who runs a rare bird conservation farm at land off the Saltway, was finally given the go-ahead to live at the site after a change in planning rules.
As the Standard reported in February, the mother of two who owns Pikes Farm failed to get permission to convert a barn into an eco-friendly cabin and build an incubator shed for birds.
She put in a second application for a temporary caravan at the site to watch and care for the 200 birds and other farm animals, but it was also turned down by Redditch Borough Council planners.
Ms Beck had no choice but to live illegally in the caravan – which had no running water – along with her partner and son to look after the birds, which could die if the electricity cut out.
She was facing enforcement action from the council which could have left her homeless and with a £20,000 bill.
But new regulations were introduced on April 6 stating an agricultural building used before March 20 could be converted into a residential property, as long as it was not bigger than the existing structure. It also could not create a noise impact, contamination risk or pose any highways implications.
As a result the family were granted approval last Tuesday (July 1) becoming the first family in the borough to benefit from the new rules.
"It is just fantastic news, " she said.
"We have gone through hell and back, we have been physically and emotionally drained and we felt like common criminals for wanting to do something good.
"Now we can continue with the farm and keep an eye on the animals and live here. It's a weight off our shoulders and we are just so thankful for all those who did support us.
"We fought this all the way and we cannot wait to just enjoy our time here."

No side quests. You have 4 campaigns with 5 missions each and they'll take more than an hour per for your first playthrough. 30-35 hours is a good estimate, that's why even at $40, this game was a pretty decent deal and at $20, it's a steal.
Oh wow that is a good deal. My co-op partner and i have yet to open up our BB copy. Thanks!

Iglesias Sent Down
We all saw this coming once Stephen Drew returned, but the Red Sox have sent shortstop prospect Jose Iglesias down to Triple-A, reports Scott Lauber of The Boston Herald. Iglesias hit .450 while serving as the Sox starting shortstop in the first week of the season.
The offensive production from Iglesias was a bit of a surprise, but it just proves that anything can happen in the short time span of one week of baseball. Despite the hot week, Iglesias needs more time to work on his offensive approach, and that will best come in Triple-A. He's already proved he's ready for the majors defensively, but his career .626 minor league OPS means he isn't ready for the majors, and one hot week in April doesn't do anything to change that.
Iglesias will continue to serve as a security blanket for Drew for this season, and given Drew's injury history, there's a good chance we see Iglesias back in the majors at some point.
Soler Suspended
For his actions earlier this week, which included reportedly attacking the opposing dugout with a bat, Cubs prospect Jorge Soler has been suspended for five games by the Florida State League, reports MiLB.com.
The details of this incident have been pretty well documented, so I won't hash them out here, other than to say that it feels like Soler is fortunate that he only got five games. Brawls happen in the minors all the time, and the suspensions aren't typically much less than the five games Soler received, so the league must have deemed that whatever he did wasn't significantly worse than most incidents.
Having not been there or seen video, I can't judge whether or not the suspension is an appropriate length, but given the attention it received for being different than most fights, it seems shorter than I had expected.
Dahl Removed from Team
David Dahl, the Colorado Rockies first-round pick in 2012, was removed from the Low-A Asheville Tourists roster last week after just one game with the team, according to Troy Renck of The Denver Post. The Rockies wouldn't comment much, other than to say that the move was not baseball related.
It's easy to forget when following prospects that we are dealing with teenagers who make off-the-field mistakes. Whatever Dahl did, it doesn't appear to have been law-breaking, so it seems like something the Rockies are planning to deal with internally, which is probably the right decision. And give them credit for making a strong point with a top prospect, something many teams look the other way on.
There is no timetable for his return, but given his domination of short-season ball last year, it would seem unlikely that Dahl returns to action in any place lower than Asheville, even if the Rockies do want to keep an eye on him, as the Arizona Rookie League would provide him little challenge.

The Five Phases of a Project
December 13, 2013 | Author: PM Hut | Filed under: Project Management for Beginners
The Five Phases of a Project
By Michelle Symonds
Project management techniques have undergone a bit of a shakeup over recent years. With agile still featuring heavily in many spheres and cascade still hanging about, there seems to be little to agree on when it comes to the 'right' way to manage a project. Whatever your preferred technique or style, being able to identify the various phases of a project is helpful to assist you in segmenting your workload for better management of time and resources.
Unfortunately this is yet another area on which there is no agreement to be made. Some will state that there are three phases in a project, others that there are seven. Here we will consider the five phase project management structure, which seems to be one of the more flexible and easily managed takes on phased project management.
What are the five phases?
- Initiation: Project initiation is the part where we name our project and officially start working on it. At this stage the definition is broad and it is simply time for funders and stakeholders to undertake due diligence to see if this project will go forward. If your project requires a feasibility study or analysis, this is the point at which it is performed.
Project planning: After the initiation phase is over and the project has been deemed to be a goer, the mammoth task of planning needs to take place. This phase can involve setting out costs, scope, project plans, Gantt charts, milestone planning and more. By the end of this phase the project manager should have a good understanding of the scope of the project, and of the key deliverables they are expected to produce.
Execution: This is where the action happens. From the planning stage, the project manager now launches their team into actioning the required deliverables for their project. Of course there may be a need to have a nod back or to revisit planning, should there be major changes to scope, budget or timescales, but otherwise it's all action stations.
Monitoring and control: Up until now each phase has happened largely in isolation, but this phase is the one which operates in tandem with the project execution phase. Throughout execution, the monitoring and control of the project needs to keep an eye on performance and progress, as well as gathering project metrics for reports, status updates and reviews.
Closure: Many project managers tend to breeze through this final project phase, but should not do so. The closure of a project is just as important as the initiation, and without proper processes being followed, silly errors can be made which will spoil all the hard work the team has been doing. This phase needs to include formally delivering the project to the client, termination of contractors, post project meetings and reward and recognition of the team involved.
When there is an exciting project in the offing, it can be tempting to skip over a certain project planning phase and get straight down to the execution. However, in truth there is no benefit from doing this, and it will only mean those phases need to be revisited at a later date. Each of the five phases should be given equal weight in terms of importance as they all add up to make a better organized project, something you will understand as you learn about project management in greater depth.
Michelle Symonds is a qualified PRINCE2 Project Manager and believes that the right project management training can transform a good project manager into a great project manager and is essential for a successful outcome to any project.
There is a wide range of formal and informal training courses now available that include online learning and podcasts as well as more traditional classroom courses from organizations such as Parallel Project Training.

Hands up, who needs to get fit? Whose idea of exercise is a quick dash for the bus to work or walking up two flights of stairs rather than using the lift once a day? OK, twice at a push. The annual holiday comes around and we head for the beach and bars, coming home a few pounds heavier and deciding to join a gym soon – ish.
It doesn't have to be like that.
Combine a rejuvenating holiday with a spot of exercise and you'll come home feeling better than you've felt in years.
Not convinced?
Try getting on your bike this year – here are six reasons why you should (plus some safety tips).
Bikes Are Eco-Friendly
Getting on your bike is one of the most eco-friendly holidays you can take. There's no fuel required and it's much easier on your budget. Go green and glide serenely past all those traffic queues.
Bikes Are Great for Exploration
Aside from burning off more calories, a holiday on two wheels (or more if you opt for trikes and tandems) is the ideal way to explore somewhere new. Coasting through the countryside you'll learn much more about the people, heritage, traditions and culture of your chosen destination than you would on a cramped tour bus. Cycling gives you an exhilarating sense of freedom and plenty of fresh air.
With a Bike You Can Plan Your Own Itinerary Easily
Free of traffic congestion and tour times, the adventurous traveller can plan their own itinerary from start to finish. If you're wary or if this is the first time you've done anything more than lie on a beach then opt for the services of a guide. Most reputable tour operators will offer both options. You'll still have a flexible itinerary but you'll be safe in the knowledge that you won't be getting lost in a foreign land.
Enjoy Nature More On Your Bike
From towering mountains to verdant rainforests and gleaming sands, a biking holiday gives you the perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with the local wildlife and natural world. When did you last truly take in your surroundings, marvel at burgeoning plantlife or savour a sunset? You can stop at any time while you're cycling and immerse yourself in your surroundings.
Safety Tips for Cycling
No matter how experienced you are or how deserted your chosen destination, take a few precautionary measures and observe essential safety tips. These include checking your bike thoroughly before setting off for the day – every day – and wearing a good quality bike helmet. OK, it's not exactly high fashion but if you do take a tumble you'll be grateful for it. Always check the weather forecast before you set off and be prepared for all eventualities. Depending on your location, don't forget sunglasses, sun cream, waterproof clothing and insect repellent! Oh, and padded cycling shorts if you're on a long trek. That's one piece of kit you won't regret taking.
Lovers of extreme sports can combine cycling with other activity holidays such as white water rafting, abseiling and water-skiing to name just a few. Before long, even the beginners out there may be eager to try out more challenging terrain – and there's plenty of it about.
Something for Everyone
Cycling holidays offer something for everyone and are great fun for couples, families or solo travellers.
Whether you're a novice or an ardent cycling fan there's a holiday to suit your needs. If you're seeking inspiration to get in shape, training for a race or simply in search of the freedom of outdoor life, adapt your holiday to suit.
The great thing about cycling is that
- it's weight bearing (there's no jarring impact as there is with jogging)
- it burns more calories than strolling along a beach.
- you'll return home energised, toned, raring to go and quite probably planning your next trip.
A cycling holiday will take you to a whole new level, quite literally at times.
Kate Smedley looks at cycling holidays to improve fitness and see the world.

What makes you think this was illegal? From what I recall (could be wrong)
is that Toshiba pledged about $100 million to various studios to release

If Sony offers to sell some fab plants and Toshiba agrees to buy them and
this is all OK'd by lawyers and reported in the press then where's this
illegal doing?

A paper recently presented on October 25, 2006, by independent researcher Judy Kay King at the Second International Congress for Young Egyptologists in Lisbon, Portugal, is now available at www.isisthesis.com/papers.htm. Selected by the Congress' scientific commissions, King's paper and approximately 55 other scientific papers, including those by prominent members of the International Scientific Commission, such as Professor Erik Hornung of the University of Basel, Professor Rosalie David of the University of Manchester, and Professor Ian Shaw of the University of Liverpool, introduced research related to the theme "Erotica, Erotism and Sexuality in Ancient Egypt."
Entitled "Biosemiotics in Ancient Egyptian Texts: The Key Unlocking the Universal Secret of Sexuality and the Birth of the Limitless," King's paper explains the reproductive mystery that has been manipulated by biopower from ancient Egypt to the modern era. This secret is commonly understood by 21st century scientists as viral sex, that is, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mediated by a virus or the exchange of DNA between two different species—human and viral. The difference between modern scientific knowledge and Egyptian science is that the ancient texts claim HGT and transformation happens after a human dies. Accordingly, when biological elements escape the human body at death, Egyptian hieroglyphs and art support HGT is a potential evolutionary option, if one understands the signs. King said the texts advise the Deceased to merge with the Sun-god or the Light, the initial sign for HGT mediated by a virus called bacteriophage Lambda. The virus' lifestyles mirror religious themes such as the dying/rising god, virgin birth, the brother rivalry, the great flood and so on, pointing to viral genetics as the origin of religious ideas.
King summarized three points: "First, the Egyptian afterlife is the quantum world of particles; second, the Sun-god Osiris is a complex virus with two lifestyles mirroring historical religious themes; and third, other Egyptian deities are signs for viral and bacterial genes and proteins."
Biosemiotics is all levels of biological sign processes. This transdisciplinary science holds that biology is the basis of all signs and sign interpretation, as Egyptian texts support. Ancient religious signs such as the Star of David, the cross or swastika, the ankh, and the ouroboros match DNA and protein formations found in HGT and lytic transformation. As King explains, "When four major ancient signs are observable in one specific biological process involving viral DNA, it is reasonable to pay attention to the evolutionary message."
In 1944, Avery, Macleod and McCarty proved genetic material can be transferred from dead cells to live cells, while recent research (Sorensen et al. 2005) shows that HGT mediated by a virus occurs with the human cell-type. The Human Genome Project revealed the impact of ancient viruses and bacteria on human evolution, and some scientists believe the virus, one of the first life-forms four billion years ago, invented DNA. In view of modern research, the Egyptian secret of eternity that HGT and transformation can happen after death and that a virus is the source of life seems at worst possible and at best an answer to questions posed by philosophers and theologians about the original meaning of the idea of God. Of interest to biologists and physicists is the surprising textual evidence framed in modern terms, describing viral transformation via a DNA wormhole with the dynamics of a micro Einstein-Rosen bridge. King said, "The transdisciplinary nature of Egyptian knowledge is a mirror with a triple reflection—religion, biology and physics, while the process itself points to the conversion of matter to energy."
As the only USA presenter, King said it was an honor to introduce progressive scientific research on the meaning of Egyptian literature and art to graduate level Egyptologists, and to present with international colleagues from Oxford University, Paris Sorbonne, the University of Toronto, the University of Copenhagen, the Bucareste Oriental Studies Institute, Auckland University and other research institutions.

What our customers are saying
Dear Dr. Cassel,
I just wanted to let you know in writing how much I appreciate the service provided by yourself and Sandy. When I made an appointment almost two years ago to inquire about a prosthetic lens for my damaged eye, I didn't know what to expect. What I found was a place that understood not only the importance of visual appearance, but the value of being able to look someone in the eye with confidence.
Over the course of many fittings and color adjustments, I came to realize that you guys were not going to settle for less than perfection. Each lens was better than the last. have never met a healthcare professional as dedicated to his craft and to patient satisfaction.
To make a long story short...Thanks!
Dear Dr. Cassel,
I cannot thank you and Sandy enough for fitting me with my new lens. The last few weeks have been great. It does wonders for my self-confidence and comfort when socializing. Usually I hate pictures of myself because the asymmetry of two different colored eyes is very apparent in high resolution photos; however, with my eyes matched, now all the pictures from New Years turned out beautiful and I don't feel embarrassed by them. Again, my thanks for your help...I hope you understand what a wonderful gift it is you gave me.

This photo was taken at an orphanage I visited in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The girl in the photo was the youngest of the children at the orphanage. She must have been about 3 or 4 years old. While the rest of the kids were wearing shirts and pants, this little girl was wearing a dress like she was going to a ball. I have no idea why. She was walking up the steps to her room, stopped and put her hand on her hip and looked away. This photo wasn't posed.
I'm also trying a new size so I can include portrait orientated photos to my daily photo line-up. I usually only do horizontal/landscape orientated photos because they just work better online.

IT IS 3:30 ON A WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON and Tarah Lynne Schaeffer, Sesame Street's new kid on the block, is home from school. Emerging from a special ramp-equipped van, the 9-year-old fourth grader expertly steers her pink wheelchair up the driveway to her family's ranch-style house in suburban Plainville, Conn. Once inside, Tarah lets her father, Scott, 31, an arts-and-crafts store manager, lift her—ever so gently—from the chair and set her on the kitchen floor.
"Someone got mail today," says her homemaker mother, Kathy, 27, playfully waving a letter from one of Tarah's pals. She has made a lot of friends (including Big Bird, Zoe and Elmo) since her debut on Sesame Street last November as the first full-time cast member to appear in a wheelchair.
"I'm coming," she says now, pushing herself off the floor with both arms, her legs crossed in front, her bottom skimming the linoleum. Somehow Tarah makes it all look easy—despite the pink fiberglass cast she wears on her right leg, the result of a fractured ankle she suffered last month. While practicing for a wheelchair race with other handicapped children, Tarah, a speed demon on the 100-yard obstacle course, went off a ramp and upended her aluminum chariot.
Most kids who fall down usually wind up with scrapes and bruises. But when Tarah takes a tumble, it's cause for real concern. She has osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare, incurable genetic condition better known as brittle-bone disorder. Limbs and joints can be fractured by the slightest pressure, and they're often too fragile for walking. Tarah is able to stand, assisted by-braces. But, as she explained on the Jan. 19 Sesame Street, "my legs don't work so well, and so I use this wheelchair to get around." The chair also affords some protection—except when Tarah's racing. In previous spills she broke her nose and an arm. Her spirit, however, remains unbowed. "Safety is always a priority," says her coach, Don Chaffee, "but she's independent and still learning her limitations."
Since birth, Tarah has suffered more than 90 bone fractures and breaks. "The hard part," says Scott, "was that Tarah would be lying there crying..." "And you wouldn't know what it was," Kathy finishes. "She was able to speak at a year old because she would have to tell us what was going on," her mother surmises. "She knew her ABCs around 10 months. And she watched Sesame Street"—sometimes in a full body cast.
The Schaeffers, who could find no trace of Tarah's disorder in their family's medical histories, went on to have two more daughters, Samantha, now 5, and Amanda, 3, neither of whom are similarly afflicted. Their big sister, meanwhile, radiates vitality. One moment she's showing off her Sega video games; next she's doing her Mrs. Doubtfire impression—and wiggling her toes through her cast.
At the Frank T. Wheeler elementary school, Tarah mingles easily with her nondisabled classmates. A paraprofessional, Virginia Mills, is assigned to help Tarah get around safely. "In every other way," says her homeroom teacher, June Hurier, "she is a typical fourth grader."
The only activity from which she has really felt excluded is gym. So in January 1993, Tarah joined the Cruisers, the wheelchair sports team at nearby Newington Children's Hospital, where she has physical therapy once a week. Last spring, Coach Chaffee, hearing about Sesame Street's search for a handicapped new "neighbor," alerted Kathy. She and Scott took Tarah to three auditions in New York City, where the show is taped. Some 70 other children also tried out. Then four weeks later, Chaffee got the good news. "Don, I got the role!" said Tarah, who taped her first dozen segments last fall.
So are Tarah's friends now clamoring to be on the show too? Tarah rolls her eyes. "I knew you were going to ask me that!" she says, sounding oh-so-media-weary after doing the Today show March 10. "Katie Couric asked me the same question, and I was like, 'Oh, gawwwwd!' " Then, with a gleam in her eye, she dares a visitor: "Race me?"

In honor of Valentine's Day, our staff will be sharing some of their favorite romantic scenes all day long.
Through the modern history of the romantic film (the good part, not the drought we're currently crawling through), it is very easy to go with the big moments. Lloyd Dobler and his boombox. "You complete me." Or something else not from a Cameron Crowe film. We think of the race to the airport or the first kiss so often we tend to neglect the ones not part of the cliche factory. Like the duet foreplay of Hansard and Iglova singing "Falling Slowly" in Once. Claudia's smile at the end of Magnolia. Even the look of ecstasy on Elizabeth Banks' face when she realizes she is making love and not just filming sex in Zack & Miri Make A Porno. A top 100 list of such scenes is not out of the realm of possibility, but the one that I always come back to is a moment between Albert Brooks and Holly Hunter in James L. Brooks' beautiful and prescient tale of the news business.
Aaron Altman (Brooks) and Jane Craig (Hunter) are the best of friends and partners at the Washington television station portrayed in the film. They can practically finish each other's sentences. ("I'll meet you at the place near the thing where we went that time.") They are the last voices they hear on the phone before they go to bed - two full years before Harry & Sally. She covers for him amongst colleagues when he's dealt a little blow to his ego by pretending to laugh hysterically. But things start getting worse for Aaron. He is on the bubble for a big impending layoff. He gets left off the team for a big breaking news story while Jane is given her big shot at executive producing the segment. The class act that he is, Aaron still manages to phone in vital information to Jane in the middle of it. With her too busy to talk further, he goes right on drinking screwdrivers and listening to Gladys Knight and the Pips.
After her great success, Jane still chooses to go over to Aaron's instead of hanging with the crew. It is here with Aaron still a bit drunk that he has a proclamation for the ages. His jealousy over the new guy at the office, Tom Grunik (William Hurt), subtly bubbling out, Aaron tells Jane of his desire to get a shot at being the weekend anchorman.
Aaron: "Now I don't want to tell you where this thought has led me. (pauses) Why not? In the middle of all of this, I started to think about the one thing that makes me feel really good and makes immediate sense... and it's you."
Jane (turning to him and smiling): "Oh, Bubba."
Aaron: "I'm going to stop right now. Except I would give anything if you were two people, so that I could call up the one who's my friend and tell her about the one that I like so much!"
You listen to the way Brooks delivers those final two words and you can almost visualize his aching heart being thrust right into Jane's lap. With another awkward pause and no response, he does what most of us would do and ends with a bit of humor. But the seed has been planted with the most perfect of lines. So perfect that our own hearts are in pain later on in the film.
Having embarrassed himself in his shot at anchor and realizing that Jane may be in love with Tom, Aaron lashes out at her. It is the culmination of every nice, sweet, funny guy's fear; the ones who watch the woman they cherish fall for the wrong guy. He calls Tom the devil in a "semi-serious" rant about the "flash over substance" that he represents. When the wounded Jane reciprocates by calling Aaron the devil, he tells her she knows that isn't true.
"Because I think we have the kind of friendship where if I were the devil, you'd be the only one I would tell."
How is THAT for romantic? And Aaron would probably tell both Janes if they existed. We have seen Ducky and Watts and every teen crush known to man from the nerds to the second prettiest boy in the school. There is something so wonderfully ageless about Aaron and Jane though that strikes to the core of our most unrequited romances. The pain of Aaron's damaged pride when he understands he has become a consolation prize for Jane; the padded shoulder to cry on that she set him up with earlier in the evening. How sad that the last nice thing we will here him say to her in the film is this:
"And if things had gone well for me tonight then I probably wouldn't be saying any of this. I grant you everything. But give me this: he personifies everything that you've been fighting against. And I'm in love with you. How do you like that? I buried the lead."
Not at all, Aaron. We all know and will always remember how you felt.

Strategies for Preventing False Confessions and Their Consequences
Deborah Davis
University of Nevada, Reno
Richard A. Leo
University of San Francisco - School of Law
PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGY FOR FORENSIC INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS, Mark R. Kebbell and Graham M. Davies, eds., Wiley & Sons, 2006
Univ. of San Francisco Law Research Paper No. 2011-20
Researchers have amply documented that contemporary methods of psychological interrogation can, and sometimes do, lead innocent individuals to confess falsely to serious crimes. The consequences of these false confessions can be disastrous for innocent individuals. This chapter reviews the primary causes of false confession and resultant miscarriages of justice that are subject to the influence of law enforcement and the courts. We first review the major identifiable causes of false confession, offering suggestions for ways to minimize or avoid them. We offer four primary strategies for prevention of false confessions: (i) interrogation only of those for whom there is sufficient probable cause to support guilt; (ii) educating law enforcement concerning the potential for and causes of false confessions; (iii) avoiding practices known to promote false confession; and (iv) greater training and sensitivity to the psychological vulnerabilities that render some suspects unusually susceptible to influence. Finally, we outline strategies for recognizing false confessions when they do occur, and thereby for minimizing their consequences.

The Christmas conga is making its way back to the Genoa Town Hall for the 11th annual Joyful Noise holiday show.
The interactive performance features Cherie and John Shipley and the Joyful Noise Chorus 7 p.m., Thursday.
"It's an interactive show in the sense that we have more happening than just singing," Cherie said. "The 'Christmas Conga' ends up with a conga line throughout the audience. It's pretty funny."
The 90-minute concert is comprised of a variety of songs from Christmas carols, inspirational music, country music and novelty songs.
"There's a couple country songs, there's jazzy renditions of holiday music," Cherie said. "We have some novelty songs such as 'Christmas is Going to the Dogs' from The Grinch."
The Shipleys will be joined by Mark Ashworth on drums, Steve Hayes on guitar and a 12-piece chorus.
"It adds a big, full sound with lots of harmony," Cherie said. "Most people have been in the show for years."
The country song "Joyful Noise" by Jo Dee Messina brings the evening together.
"I like the whole meaning of that phrase. It's a creative way to say happy, fun sound," Cherie said. "People should come to get the spirit of fellowship and community, and experience a joining together in a happy and positive atmosphere."
Tickets to Joyful Noise are $12 for adults, $5 for ages 6-13 and under 5 are free.
"We encourage families to come," Cherie said. "Kids enjoy seeing live performances, and it helps them experience the holiday Christmas spirit."
For more information, or for advance tickets call 782-8696.
