The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) announced that Sandra Hughes, former anchor of WFMY-TV, as the recipient of the association's 2014 Chuck Stone Lifetime Achievement Award.
The award – the organization's highest honor – was recently renamed for pioneering newspaperman Chuck Stone, one of NABJ's 44 founders and the group's first president.
Hughes is an award-winning journalist and the first African American to host a PM magazine show in the southeast region and the first African American woman to host her own talk show in North Carolina.
"Sandra Hughes is a courageous pioneer who did not let racism get in the way of telling the story," NABJ President Bob Butler said. "When anchoring her show at WFMY in the 70s, the station was evacuated when someone phoned in a bomb threat because they did not want to see a black person on air.
"As the building was evacuated, she kept doing her job."
The annual award is bestowed on a journalist whose lifetime body of work has had a positive and long-lasting impact on the journalism profession. Hughes will be honored along with NABJ's other honorees at NABJ's Salute to Excellence Gala on August 2, during NABJ's 39th Annual Convention & Career Fair in Boston. NABJ's Board of Directors selected Hughes for the award.
"Most people know of Sandra for her groundbreaking work as an African American woman in broadcasting," said National Conference for Community and Justice Executive Director Susan Felt. "But people don't know the price she paid. She risked her life to break barriers."
Hughes started her career at WFMY in 1972 as a general assignment reporter. She then hosted her own talk show, "Sandra and Friends." A few years later, she co-hosted the PM Magazine. She traveled the world and shared stories that tackled issues and introduced viewers to different cultures. In 1990, she became anchor of WFMY's 6 p.m. news broadcast.
Hughes retired from WFMY's anchor chair in 2010 but is still working. She is now a professor at North Carolina A&T State University teaching journalism courses and helping to shape future journalists.
"I'm never at a loss for words," Sandra Hughes said." I don't know if I should scream or cry. I am so honored."
Hughes is also a motivational speaker and a community volunteer. A proud graduate of North Carolina A&T, Hughes has been the recipient of numerous other honors. She received an honorary doctorate from her alma mater. Hughes' list of awards include: the first African American in the Piedmont to receive the Edward R. Murrow Award from the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce; induction into the "Silver Circle," a broadcaster's hall of fame in Nashville, by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences; induction into the North Carolina Association of Broadcaster's Hall of Fame; and being named an "Unsung Hero" by the International Civil Rights Center and Museum for her role in helping integrate broadcast airways in the Triad.

WHEN THE SON OF A FRIEND DEVELOPED cancer recently, I felt shocked, saddened and, finally, gripped with the urge to do something to help.
I met with actor-director Gene Wilder, whose late wife, Saturday Night Lire comedian Gilda Radnor, lost her 2½-year battle with ovarian cancer in 1989. Gene and his new wife, Karen, are launching an organization called Gilda's Club, which will offer emotional support in New York City for people with cancer and for their families. It will be loosely based on a similar program in Los Angeles that supported Gilda during days of her darkest despair as well as during flights of elation. She went to the group's house in Santa Monica for therapy, for potluck suppers and even for joke sessions—planned evenings of amateur comedy. Some of the friends Gilda made there would survive; some would not. But all were greatly helped by facing their enemy together and by taking an active part in their treatment.
Gilda spent her final months in her Counecticut homo, far from Santa Monica. One of her final wishes was that people with cancer on the East Coast have a place of their own.
Negotiations are nearly finished for the purchase of a four-story town house in lower Manhattan that will be the home for Gilda's Club, which is expected to open on Gilda's birthday, June 28, after $300,000 worth of renovations. Not a residence, the club will contain meeting rooms, quiet rooms for meditation, a living room, a dance hall. places to listen to music, a playroom for children and training facilities for counselors. Every service provided will be free.
Gilda's own psychotherapist from Los Angeles, Joanna Bull, will be the director of Gilda's Club, and many of Gilda's friends are helping to raise money, It will cost $600,000 a year to operate, and we hope to raise $1.3 million in 1993. Jane Curtin, Mandy Patinkin, Rick Moranis. Joel Siegel. John Candy, Anne Bancroft, Mel Brooks, Sieve Guttenberg, Erma Bombeck and many others are all on the Gilda's Club team.
I'm proud to serve on the board of Gilda's Club. Pitching in for this endeavor will be part of PEOPLE'S 20th-anniversary celebration in 1994. It is the first of several charitable causes we will support as a way of sharing our magazine's success.

Product Info
The mobile version of Outlook is a great asset of any handheld user. After all, a mobile device without an ability to receive and send email messages and work online is nothing more than an expensive toy. Developers do their best to supply the pocket versions of the most popular applications with as many features of their "elder brothers" as possible. However, system restrictions and size concerns do not always allow them to do that to the fullest. Unfortunately, Pocket Outlook is not an exception - despite being a fully-functional email application, it lacks a couple of features that are so enjoyed by most users of the desktop version. The ability to sort incoming mail into different folders is one of such features. If you receive hundreds of emails every day, the ability to organize your emails by folders becomes a crucial factor that determines the efficiency of your work. If you are tired of looking for a solution of this vexing issue, rejoice - Pocket Outlook Mail Organizer will sort out your problem and your mail as well! This affordable Outlook add-on will take your mobile Outlook a tad closer to its desktop counterpart. It allows you to create sorting rules and specify destination folders for emails meeting your criteria. For instance, you will be able to filter out your corporate business emails to one folder and your personal mail in another, thus eliminating the mess in your default inbox. The product also solves the email deletion problem. Sorted messages are copied to corresponding folders and are stored there regardless of your actions on the desktop computer, so if you delete a message from your main workplace, it will still be available on your handheld device! Use Pocket Outlook Mail Organizer to bring some order to your email inbox and make working with your email a truly enjoyable experience no matter where you are! Try it today for free and you will understand very soon that this great application is just what the doctor ordered!

Women in Healthcare: Diane Meier
This is the last week of our Women in Healthcare series, which we began last month in honor of Women's History Month. Healthcare Finance News asked some of the women leaders in the nation's healthcare industry to talk about the role of women in healthcare.
Today, we hear from Diane Meier, MD. An internationally recognized expert on palliative care, Meier, a MacArthur Fellow, is a geriatrician based at Mt. Sinai Medical Center and is the director of the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC). Per her CAPC bio, under her direction, the number of palliative care programs at hospitals in the United States has more than doubled in the last five years. She has published extensively, including as co-editor of "Palliative Care: Transforming the Care of Serious Illness," a book billed as the first to provide a comprehensive look at the field of palliative care.
Q: What role do women have as decision-makers/leaders in today's healthcare sector?
A: I think that role is increasing exponentially. Just look at the make up of medical school classes in the United States, which are now more than 50 percent women because the entry criteria are based solely on merit. We've seen, really, a revolutionary shift in the population. You haven't seen as much of an increase at the highest levels – the c-suite, deans, department chairs. So I think there are still barriers. Somebody like me has been able to achieve, from the stand point of someone coming at the system not so much from the outside (but) from a disruptive innovation stand point. That is palliative care. (It) is very much a disruptive innovation inside the healthcare system, and because of that I was able to develop a lot of leadership skill going from a palliative care clinician to being someone who is seeking to communicate the benefits of palliative care to diverse audiences using business principles, social marketing principles, healthcare financing principles and using organizational partnership strategies to try to advance the legitimacy of the field with the goal of making sure that every person in the United States that has a serious illness has access to high quality palliative care no matter where they live, no matter how old they are, no matter what their diagnosis is, no matter whether they're going for a cure or life prolongation, that it just becomes the standard of care.
Q: What do women bring to the table to shape the future of healthcare?
A: There's been some interesting work done by Carol Gilligan and others about some of the differences in moral development in women – this notion that women have a more heightened sensitivity to the relational aspects of society, of organizations, of working together to accomplish shared goals. That attention to relationship – it's important, I think it's critical, to healing our very broken healthcare system because if we don't work together on behalf of the best interests of our patients we will not be able to help them. The current cost and quality crisis has made that abundantly clear. So while I certainly know plenty of men who have very strong interpersonal relationship skills and plenty of women who don't, on average, I would say, perhaps because women are socialized this way, perhaps because many of us are mothers, I'm not sure what it is, but I can see that as a common strength among women leaders.
Q: What do you personally believe should be the path forward to better care and lower costs?
A: First of all, I think the path to lower cost is better care. Care right now – one of my colleagues just used the analogy it's like a subspecialty pinball game. The patient is just bounced from one subspecialist to the next and eventually ends up falling through the cracks and into the emergency room in the hospital. That's what happens. It's very poor quality. It's distressing, confusing, exhausting, scary to patients and families, and it's incredibly wasteful and expensive. We have a system in which primary care has become so disempowered and so marginalized that patients are essentially victims of excess subspecialization that is very poor quality, and as a side effect, very expensive. If you can restore a universal primary care relationship for patients, if you can improve the power of the primary care sector of the healthcare system by paying people a living wage, making it possible to have a life and a family as a primary care physician, you will see a much higher quality of care and as a side effect, people will not end up in emergency rooms and hospitals and ICUs because they didn't know where else to turn.

Starting a new Business? This is what you need to get started in terms of IT.
Every business starts off with 1 entrepreneur or 2 partners with a business idea. Many resources and seminars are available through Small business BC to kick start your concept. One you have a plan in place, you can get started with a simple IT setup at your new office.
- Network Drops: If you plan on using desktops or VoIP phones, your office needs network drops at each desk. Your office would need to be wired up by a network specialist with CAT 5E or CAT 6 Ethernet cable. The wiring terminates into a patch panel that identifies each specific location.
- Switch: An 8-24 port switch is required to feed a live connection to each location through the patch panel.
- Firewall: A firewall is a security appliance that acts as the gateway of your network. It controls the flow of inbound and outbound traffic. A set of rules are applied to keep your internal network secure.
- Internet: You will need to sign up with an ISP for a standard ADSL or cable internet. You may need to request a static IP address if you plan to have an Exchange server or any other server that needs to be accessible on the internet.
- Wi-Fi: Wireless connection is essential these days for businesses to enable internet connectivity for mobile devices such cell-phones and tablets.
- Computers: You would need a laptops or desktops and monitors for each employee.
- Email: You require email for internal and external communication. We recommend that you use your company domain name such as @yourcompany.com to keep it professional. You can easily set this up with Hosting providers or Gmail.
- Web-site: Your hosting provider with also provide you with web-site space along with email accounts. You can start off with a simple word press web-site with a few pages describing your services. Once your business gains some traction you can invest in a web design company to work on your branding and online presence.
- NAS: Most startups don't need to start off with a server. They can just invest in a network area storage device that will act as their file repository. Here they can centrally store all their files securely. Additional cloud options are also available through services such as dropbox.
- Server: At some point when your company grows, there will be a need for a in-house server or on the cloud. The server acts as a secure host for your files, email, accounting applications, and CRM and ERP systems. The most commonly used server is the Microsoft Small Business Server which is affordable bundled package geared toward small and mid-sized business.

Even a couple of weeks into fall practice, the Penn State football team continues to add to its 2012 football recruiting class, and, again, the Nittany Lions are going outside of their traditional recruiting area to build up depth on the defense.
After the Lions landed Phoenix, Ariz. all-state linebacker Brennan Franklin late last month, Hialeah, Fla. outside linebacker Gary Wooten committed to Penn State on Sunday, it was first reported by Lions247 and later confirmed by BlueWhite Illustrated's website.
Wooten is slated to join the team today.
Wooten actually was a Class of 2011 prospect who sat out last year. Among the colleges that were recruiting him Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Washington State, Florida International, UMass, Eastern Michigan and Florida Atlantic according to internet sources, and Miami might have gotten involved late. He was considered a three-star prospect.
Lion defensive coordinator Ted Roof was familiar with Wooten and initiated Penn State's contact.
Wooten played defensive end in high school at 6-foot-3, 198 pounds but has put on 20 pounds over the last year. Having excellent speed for his position, he made 72 tackles, 12 sacks and two fumble recoveries as a senior.

Decisions: suppressed .223 or .308?

> Decisions: suppressed .223 or .308?
June 15, 2008, 02:26 AM
I have neither rifle and want a suppressed one. So if you could afford only one --suppressed .223( AR) or .308 (HK91) which would it be and why?

7.62x51 NATO
Though I would opt for a gas operated rifle like the FAL, with an adjustable gas system.
June 15, 2008, 02:44 AM
I wish I had either option, but personally I would probably go with a .223
Im not going to lie, but I have very little knowledge on suppressors and their effects on different calibers, so I have to ask the question. Is .223 quieter than .308 when used with a suppressor?
Kind of Blued
June 15, 2008, 02:44 AM
Sorry to drift, but do you have a suppressed .22LR rifle?
June 15, 2008, 04:37 AM
No, I don't have anything chambered in .22LR. Brentn, I wanna say .223 is all around quieter suppressed, but I'm not sure.
June 15, 2008, 05:23 AM
Unless your using sub sonic loads your still going to hear the crack of the bullet.
June 15, 2008, 07:30 AM
and it's hard to get a .223 subsonic stabilized in a 1/9 barrel, like in most AR...
I tried it in my M4 with supressor, using 80grains molycoated bullets and shooting rounds 1 by 1, since it would not cycle the bolt... but frankly the sounds suppression is not worth it (mostly because .223 supressor are made to suppress supersonic gaz expansion, and you will still hear the supersonic crack, but you shot will be very hard to localize) compared to a standard 22lr ammo supressed in a bolt rifle or semi auto, which make NO more noise when shooting than a airgun (pellet gun).
you could stabilize a subsonic 55 grain bullet in an 1/9 barelled AR, but than, the ballistic efficency of this bullet would be exactly the same as a 22lr, and it would still make more noise..
If you want something really stealthy, go for a good 22lr supressed.
Now, I heard about 300 whisper etc, but never tried it. maybe it's the best way, if you can afford it. Here, there's no such way.
June 15, 2008, 07:34 AM
btw, obviously the .223 would make less noise than the 308 with a same technology suppressor... and this is due to the volume of expanded gaz (more in a 308, so harder to supress)
La Pistoletta
June 15, 2008, 07:37 AM
I believe the argument goes that for optimal suppression, since you need to slow down bullets to below the speed of sound anyway, bullets that rely more on mass than speed (as in 7.62 compared to 5.56) will lose comparatively less energy.
June 15, 2008, 07:55 AM
a subsonic 7.62, in my mind would have a terrible dropdown, and therefore a very poor ballistic.
suppressors on assault rifle, are not meant to make the gun silenced, but to make it very hard to localize you when you are shooting with.
Just Jim
June 15, 2008, 10:37 AM
Gemtech makes a suppresor for the 223 that is an "entry supprosor" It just quiets the gun enough that it doesn't ruin your hearing as you shoot indoors. You can thread this on a 22lr but it still doesn't hide the sound barrier pop.
June 15, 2008, 11:56 AM
Just a suggestion here...
Why .223 or .308? If you want a suppressor, go WAY silent... Get a .45ACP bolt rifle with an integral can, like the new copies they're doing of the delisle...
No, it is not a thousand yard rifle. But if you have your bullet drop stuff together, and know how it is going to shoot, it's a 200 yard rifle.
June 15, 2008, 12:06 PM
Take your question over to www.SilencerTalk.com
Good guys, lots of knowledge--that is how I made the decision on mine.

What is the overall goal you are trying to meet here?
I've fired my 16" AR with an OPS Inc. 16th model next to a .308 AI with a Jet can and the AI was noticeably quieter. So caliber isn't the only issue.
I think you'll have a hard time getting the HK91 quieter than an AR though and man, it is going to be filthy.
June 15, 2008, 12:39 PM
suppressed or unsuppressed, i'd take an AR over an HK91 any day, for nearly any purpose.
my goals in suppressing a rifle, in order of importance:
1. ear pro
2. they're kind of cool / conversation piece
3. possession annoys liberals / gov doesn't want me to have
note that none of those involve hollywood fantasies

What is the overall goal you are trying to meet here?
Maybe with two of us asking, there will be an answer to this question. I really don't understand the desire regarding these two rounds.
The best thing to do is find a round that can go subsonic and still be effective, then go from there.
June 15, 2008, 12:52 PM
.223 is harder to do subsonic, build an ar in that 338 whisper or whatever.
June 15, 2008, 12:59 PM
The overall goal is to have a suppressed rifle that is quiet and doesn't drop as much over a long distance. I don't know too much about ballistics though, just that gravity eventually overcomes a bullet's trajectory.
June 15, 2008, 01:03 PM
then the whisper is for you, look it up, it's a really interesting round
Harley Quinn
June 15, 2008, 01:07 PM
More on the 338 Whisper.
300 grain or up if you can find the bullet or make it (cast) seems to be a good one, but if you want less drop and less FPE then lighter is better.
Bartholomew Roberts
June 15, 2008, 01:19 PM
First thing to understand is that any supersonic round is going to be at least as loud as an unsuppressed .22LR.
In order to get quieter than that, you need to go subsonic. If you also need range and less drop, then you are looking at something like the Whisper rounds - long, heavy rounds with a high ballistic coefficient. If you don't need greater than 100yds, then you can use pistol calibers subsonic.
The Whispers are much neater; but the pistol calibers are a little more accessible and cheaper to shoot.
June 15, 2008, 01:33 PM
A subsonic bullet will drop roughly many times as far at a given range, compared to a normal-speed bullet.
For instance, the drop at range for 1050 fps 165grain .308 (BC of .475):
4" @ 50yards
16" @ 100 yards
67" @ 200 yards
For now, you can just approximate that the drop will be the square of the distance; drop(in) = constant*range(yards)^2
The .300 whisper can propel a 125 grain bullet at 2100 fps:
19" drop at 200 yards
The .308 can propel a 165 grain bullet at 2700 fps:
10" drop at 200 yards
June 15, 2008, 01:54 PM
maybe it's the 300 wisper that i'm thinking of.
point is, it's not really going to be well suppressed if its supers.
June 15, 2008, 04:22 PM
I would go with a 300 whisper with a 240 grain matchking.

The point of the Whisper is...;)
Subsonic not very noisy at all, bolt action etc..

Everyone said it would be a wonderful opportunity to bond with my 22-year-old son. I hoped that would be true.
My son, a quiet, laid-back college senior, was driving from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles for a semester of college and an internship. He thought the trip would be with one of his friends, but as it turned out, no one could go with him. What's a mother to do? I didn't want him to drive across the country alone so I cleared my schedule to go along, much to my son's dismay.
His plan was to arrive in L.A. in five days. He thought we would: share the driving until we could no longer keep our eyes open, find a room for the night that cost no more than $59, and stop to eat and go to the bathroom a few times a day. When I questioned him about his plan, he said, "It has to have some flaws, Mom, that's what will make it fun." Spoken like a true 22-year-old.

LEETONIA- A proactive drug sweep at the Leetonia K-12 campus Tuesday morning discovered zero drugs or contraband.
K-9 units from Beaver Township, Springfield, Canfield and St. Clair Township police departments conducted the unannounced search of the lockers and common areas inside the campus, as well as the parking lot, at approximately 10 a.m. The sweep was coordinated by Salem Township Constable Dan Valentine and the Leetonia Police Department.
According to Leetonia Police Chief John Soldano, the sweep was conducted at the request of schools Superintendent Rob Mehno. He said the school was locked down in a quick and proficient manner and no faculty or staff were observed roaming the halls.
"This is the first [sweep] we've had in a couple years and there was no contraband or drugs found, so overall it was very positive," he said.
Mehno said the sweep was part of a continued effort to ensure the greatest safety for students.
"We wanted to be proactive," he said. "We'll continue to be diligent in being proactive about drugs on campus and school safety. It's something we're dedicated to."

I am a recreational player, but do try to make intelligent picks. My before game-time picks provide have proven to be solid.
If I had the ability to be disciplined I know that I would do ok and actually come out ahead.... but just love the action too much and make bad decisions in the heat of battle. That's the truth
With that being said, in the pre-battle frame of mind I am in, we all know that fewer picks is where it's at, so with the today's card my view is the Dallas/Houston game is simply uninviting. I rather put my $$$ on other games that I think offer better values.
My top picks today (flat bets) are:
Car/Cinc Under 37.5
Carolina +4.5
TB/Pitt under 33
I know I will add plays, but those appear to me the best value on a number of counts.
BOL to all

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - It's the night before perhaps the biggest game in the lives of members of Ferris State University's men's basketball team.
The Bulldogs of head coach Bill Sall will take on Bellarmine University in the NCAA Division II Midwest Region championship game Tuesday night beginning at 7 p.m. in Knights Hall (Bellarmine's home gym).
Ferris, however, took time Monday to unwind and relax on its day of rest in Louisville as it gears up for the regional championship game before more than 2,000 fans (the vast majority of which will be supporting the host Knights).
Ferris took some time to do a little shopping, eat some good food, relax and even play some video games (hey, there can be a little strategy in some of these games) on its day of rest after defeating Drury University in the regional semifinals on Sunday evening in Louisville.

I almost think that Tonya being the kind of person she was intentionally sabotaged her LP just for the attention. She knew she didn't have a chance to medal anyways so why not give a big FU to everyone.
I almost think that Tonya being the kind of person she was intentionally sabotaged her LP just for the attention. She knew she didn't have a chance to medal anyways so why not give a big FU to everyone.
Pro Ams are stupid anyway. I dont put Josee's win at the 2001 Sears event down to anything more than that. It works in all directions, Kwan at the 2002 Masters popped 3 or 4 jumps and still missed winning by only 1 judge over Irina who skated cleanly which was also a joke. Would Carrol have been irate had Kwan won there which would have been an even bigger joke than the Sears loss.
The Tonya destroyed Josee's Olympic chances is a big blown up myth for PR purposes. Even if Josee had skated well the best she was going to do is pull up to say 6th at that point. And given her history she was probably bombing the long program anyway, it is much easier for her to skate a good short then long and she didnt even do that there.
Oh, I'm not saying that Harding took away a sure chance for Josée to medal at the '94 Olympics. But there's a big difference between having the chance to skate one's best (even if nerves take over during that attempt) and having to skate on short notice because of another skater's poor preparation, thus adding to one's normal anxiousness. It was grossly unfair to Josée, and more so because it was Tonya, who possibly shouldn't even have been there.
As for whether the situation was blown out of proportion for PR purposes, I couldn't say. I'm going by my own reaction from memory...I was watching and feeling acutely sympathetic to Chouinard at that moment. I am not depending on any write-up or reporting in this instance. Though I'm sure the press, especially in Canada, did a lot of writing on this topic in the days following the long program.
We can't really know what would have happened if Chouinard had had a smooth and predictable entrance onto the ice. Almost certainly she wouldn't have outskated Chen Lu, Kerrigan, or Baiul. But she would have had a nicer memory of her Olympics, whether she had finished higher, lower, or in that same order.
Back to the 2011/2012, I am very excited about the fact that Laura's going to return to competition!
She is? Awesome! It'll be good to have her back in the mix.
I think Laura's lovely, but I'd really like to see her take another step in her technical content. Yes she has a 3t-3t, but sometimes I think she get's the judges' pretty bonus when they're lacking in other areas. Laura winning that bronze medal in 2010 was a travesty. 3 triples and a handful of double jumps...Miki should have won bronze that year. I think with the newer crop of girls coming in, Laura will have to step it up if she wants to remain competitive.
Miki can out jump Laura when she is ON - every other category of skating Laura wins.
It is fairly easy to see when Miki messes up she loses more than Laura does.
I guess this will be disputed for a longtime.
I like Miki coz she is a very good jumper when she is on.
I love Laura who for me simply outclasses Miki as a performer and as an all around skater.

Look at Patrick's SP score from SC where he fell on his solo jump and fell on his required jump. And he fell on his footwork.
If you are a judges favorite in this system they find ways to keep your score high.
Remember at the GPF when Akiko landed 7 triples and still finished third behind Yuna and Miki in the LP? What did they do, 3 or 4 triples?
But I get why Miki fans disagreed with 2010 Worlds.
Maybe it was Laura's beautiful red dress that edged out Miki's questionable costume.
Sometimes the CoP = Code of Pageants
Last edited by janetfan; 06-20-2011 at 08:30 AM.
But it's not like Worlds was a well skated event last year, kwanatic. Miki Ando had a massive fall in the SP that ruined her combo, so she got virtually nothing for the biggest point getter in the SP. And even then her PCS were quite close to Lepisto.
If we were to articulate it another way: in her two programs, Miki Ando landed seven fully rotated triples. Laura Lepisto, in her two programs, landed six.
Last edited by ImaginaryPogue; 06-20-2011 at 07:47 AM.
Code of Pageants! LOL! That's a good one...
I always say Laura and Kiira get the Finnish Beauty bonus; they are gorgeous...
You're right Imaginary, I forgot how terrible that event was overall. Miki was coming off of a decent season, but not the powerhouse season she had this year. This year Miki was so on fire at nearly every event, she was getting the extra push from the judges for performing so well...that wasn't the case last year.

Get ready to be rocked - by the U.S. Army.
The Volunteers, the touring rock 'n' roll group of the army's field band, will play a free concert at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Community Arts Center, 220 W. Fourth St.
"Typically, when people think of a military band, they tend to expect John Philip Sousa - marches and patriotic music," said Master Sgt. John Lamirande, audio engineer and element leader for the band. "This is not that typical music."

The Volunteers, the U.S. Army's touring rock band, performs popular American music with an emphasis on rock 'n' roll, along with familiar standards that include country, patriotic and jazz tunes. They will perform at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Community Arts Center, 220 W. Fourth St..
A five-piece band consisting of two guitarists, bassist, drummer and keyboardist, The Volunteers play a unique blend of American popular music, rock 'n' roll, jazz, patriotic tunes and country music.
For the Williamsport performance, audience members can expect a 1970s classic rock theme, Lamirande said.
"This is going to be all classic rock: Tom Petty, Thin Lizzy (Bruce) Springsteen, Heart, Elton John," he said.
The first incarnation of the band began touring and playing shows all over the country in 1981, and have played in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Kuwait and Iraq.
They tour more than 100 days per year, Lamirande said.
Despite being made up of members of the army, the band's membership doesn't rotate very frequently - which is good for keeping consistency within the group.
"It's not really a rotating membership," Lamirande said. "We're in a pretty stablized position now. Our keyboardist retired last year, but our lineup has been essentially the same for the last few years."
While The Volunteers are "still an army band," they're trying to attract different demographics with their performances.
"We play in high schools a lot and try to bring in a younger audience as well, especially with the music we have planned for this year's theme," Lamirande said. "Think the crowd that you'd see at a Pink Floyd cover band show - that's the audience we're going for."
He said that people often think of the more old-fashioned music that other groups of the army field band play, like the jazz ensemble and concert band.
"We have a difficult time getting to a different audience," Lamirande said.
However, he hopes that will change with the year's performance.
"People can expect to have a great time with some great rock 'n' roll," he said.
The Volunteers are:
SFC April Boucher, vocals.
SSG Randall Wight, vocals and keyboard.
SFC Tom Lindsey, guitar.
SSG John Brandon Boron, guitar.
SFC Peter M. Krasulski, bass.
SSG Glenn Robertson, drums.
MSG John Lamirande, audio engineer and element leader.
SSG James Little, lighting technician.

On August 28, 1955, Chicago teen Emmett Till was kidnapped and lynched for whistling at a white woman in the segregated South while visiting his family in Money, Miss.
Emmett's younger cousin, Simeon Wright, watched as two men abducted the boy. Those responsible were never convicted.
Decades later, Wright told CBN News he's grown to forgive them - with God's help.
Remembering 55 Years Ago
"At the age of 12, imagine going to sleep at night and waking up the next day and your whole world is upside down," Simeon Wright said, recalling the death of his cousin.
The boys were asleep in the same room when J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant showed up at the Wright family's home at 2:30 a.m.
"When they awakened Wheeler (another visiting cousin), they said 'This is the wrong boy. We are looking for the fat boy from Chicago,'" Wright recalled. "They knew who they were looking for. At that time, I weighed about 90 pounds. And Emmett weighed about 140."
Bryant owned the country store where Emmett, Simeon, and Wheeler Parker stopped to buy candy a few days earlier.
"Emmett and I, we had walked out. We were in the store together; we had walked out of the store. Mrs. Bryant came out behind us and she was walking towards her car and Emmett whistled at her and it scared us half to death," Wright said.
The whistle at Carolyn Bryant, Roy Bryant's wife, was a joke to the 14-year-old from Chicago. Emmett was always trying to make his cousins laugh. But he also did not understand the unspoken rules of the segregated south during the Jim Crow era.
"Color didn't mean anything to him," Wright explained. "You are a human being. We are all the same. So he grew up like that."
Till's Disappearance and Death
Simeon calls August 28, 1955 the longest day of his life. It is also the first day there was no laughter in his childhood home. Emmett's body was found three days later in the Tallahatchie River, tied to a 70 pound cotton gin.
Wright's father, Moses, identified the body before it was returned to Emmett's mother in Chicago. Moses and Mamie Till Mobley are both deceased, but they recalled seeing Emmett's mangled body for the documentary, "The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till."
The Face of Racism
"The body was so badly damaged until we couldn't hardly tell who it was," Moses told Keith Beauchamp, the film's producer. "But he happened to have on a ring with his initials."
Recalling the first time she saw her son's body, Mamie Till-Mobley said, "I didn't see the ear. Where is the ear? And that's when I discovered a hole about here and I could see daylight on the other side."
Mobley wanted the world to see what she saw. She left Emmett's casket open at the funeral for the thousands who came. More people saw his face in Jet magazine, where 12-year-old Simeon saw it for the first time.
"At 12, I did not understand it at all," Wright told CBN News. "But I understood what I saw -- the injustice that took place -- and it affected me."
Ten Years of Anger
It took more than 50 years for Wright to talk about his cousin's death. He shared his pain in his new book Simeon's Story. It's the very first eyewitness account of Emmett Till's kidnapping.
The all-white jury found J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant not guilty in the murder trial, and there was never a trial for the kidnapping.
"I was enraged and embittered by the verdict. I saw for the first time the evil that was in the heart of the segregationists," Wright wrote in the book. "Needless to say, the death of 'Bobo' and the acquittal of his murderers left a hole in my heart."
Later attempts to bring the trial back to the court have also failed.
"I was angry, yes, because of what happened," Wright said. "The justice system of Mississippi failed us. Our neighbors failed us."
"Leaving that trial and looking at the white population, rejoicing because these men were acquitted," he continued. "My thought was, we had no one to help us."
Wright and his family moved from Mississippi to Chicago not long after the trial. But the distance could not erase his anger. He wanted revenge.
"If I was provoked, I would try to get even," Wright said, recalling at least 10 years of anger. "I remember one occasion there was this young lady in my class from Alabama and she did something -- nothing serious. I think I slapped her."
Finding the Heart to Forgive
Wright turned to alcohol early in his adulthood until an unexpected night at a Chicago bar. He was 22 years old.
"I was sitting in this tavern and I heard the voice of the Lord say, 'If you die in your sins, you are going to hell,'" Wright recalled. "Man I tell you, my life wasn't the same again."
That same voice inspired him eventually to forgive the men responsible for the death of his cousin.
"Forgiveness is something that is not easy," Wright said. "It wasn't an easy process. It is an act of your will -- you have to do it -- and then fight through it. And then the deliverance comes."
At 67 years old, Wright says he has also forgiven Carolyn Bryant, the woman who testified Emmett did more than just whistle. She is also Emmett's only surviving accuser.
"I feel if I met her, she probably could repent of what she did," Wright said. "I think she wants to. But she probably doesn't know how."
Wright added that he would like to meet her some day and show her how.

OPA's new Strategic Plan lists that we will "advocate for public policies that promote psychological services, the field of psychology and a psychologically healthy Ohio" as one of its top goals. From the surveys and focus groups we've done, members place high value on our advocacy work. Since much of the good or bad things that can happen to the profession would come through state legislation and regulatory action, our state focus is critical. We have to be alert to what legislation is being introduced to be sure that we don't miss something that could be damaging to the profession of psychology. We also have to have an agenda of initiatives that advance the practice of psychology and improve health care. We have to have relationships with legislators, administration officials and regulators to impact public policy.
It is important to realize that advocacy is not just something that OPA does for you. We do a lot of it, but what really matters is how well we inform and motivate you to get to know your legislators and advocate with them as constituents. Ohio legislators are very accessible, particularly when they are back in their district. Our Legislative Day, May 22, 2013 provides an opportunity to learn how to be a good advocate and to begin to build your relationship with your state senators and state representatives. Your voice matters.
And you need to be advocates in other realms as well. As was stated in the recent discussion about CPT code issues on the listserv, complaints you file with the Department of Insurance are critical. When we go talk to them it is really difficult to make a strong case about a problem if they haven't been hearing from individual psychologists. Your voice actually carries more weight than ours, since you are more directly involved in the delivery of service and interacting with insurers. Your voice matters.
A point of emphasis for us this year as we pursue our strategic goals is to develop a network of OPA members that is connected to every state senator. The Senate Network will be a key focal point of our advocacy work over. Contact Bobbie Celeste or me to become part of this network. We need your voice.
We collaborate with the APA Practice Organization to be sure that advocacy at the federal level is effective. You see the action alerts that Dr. David Hayes, our Federal Advocacy Coordinator posts when Ohio psychologists are being called upon to reach out to our senators and members of Congress on key issues. Our response to these alerts is important. Ideally, OPA members will get to know our two senators and their congressperson to become a health care resource for them. Your voice matters.
Under the general advocacy statement in the plan is the goal to increase timely communication with OPA members. This is important because you need to know what we are doing. It is important that you be informed so that you can be comfortable in getting involved in advocacy and becoming a resource for your legislators. We in central office sometimes have a tendency to get immersed in doing advocacy, assuming that you will know we have your back. We need to do a better job of letting you know what we are doing. When I took time the other day to post an update on how we are addressing the CPT code problems, the response was really gratifying. I felt like Sally Field at the Oscars.
Our goals also include broadening our advocacy agenda beyond legislative efforts by including more business, insurance and public sector issues as they relate to psychologists. Here is another place you be helpful by informing us of problems, issues, or creative ideas for expanding OPA's advocacy.
This year our agenda will include the Psychology Law, the Demonstration Project for appropriately trained and certified public sector psychologists to be authorized to prescribe medication in a select few Ohio prisons, Medicaid Expansion, Regulation of Applied Behavior Analysts and insurance reform relating to prior authorizations. At the federal level: Medicare, electronic medical records and the definition of physician are likely to be points of emphasis. We want to continue to educate the Department of Insurance and legislators about your problems with third party payers in Ohio. We are finishing up a complaint letter to the Department of Insurance on a recent problem with a major insurer in Ohio. We are working to address issues relating to the availability of internships, student loan forgiveness and health disparities. Planning for an internship consortium is underway and we are working with Medicaid to facilitate payment for supervised interns.
An important goal is to educate Ohio psychologists about the National Healthcare Plan roll-out and implications as they occur, including providing webinars and training on practice strategies needed to keep pace with changes. We had some workshops at our 2012 Convention on topics related to this and it is a primary focus of the 2013 Convention (October 30-November 1, 2013). We developed our two free webinars for OPA members on CPT codes and PQRS to help you all understand these important areas and received a great response.
The final goal in this area is to maintain OPA's current collaborative relationships and include three new ones during each of the next three years. I was recently asked for a list of the coalitions with whom we are involved and was amazed as I created it. These coalitions link us with a broad range of organizations and magnify our impact on public policy. There is also a long list of organizations that have the potential to be one of the three new collaborations. I am anxious to see how we can work together with some of the organizations with whom we don't have a strong relationship now.
Watch for more about our Strategic Plan!

"Political differences are normal and will always be with us but the task of getting rid of Thaksin [Shinawatra] should be the responsibility of the people without relying on people with weapons," said Sombat Boonngam-anong, an activist and a leading member of the group.
Sombat said his group would peacefully defy the order issued on Wednesday by the coup-leaders barring more than five people assembling for political reasons, as he claims no one has the authority to take away this fundamental right.
"They can't permit us or forbid us. This right is innate," said Sombat. "I do not think rights and liberties are the result of someone handing it to you. The basic rights are always with everyone."
The group yesterday issued its first statement, condemning the actions of the Council for Democratic Reform under Constitutional Monarchy for staging a coup to remove an elected government under the Constitution, which was drafted by the people.
"Abolishing the Constitution, harassing the media and putting an end to independent agencies are regarded as acts abolishing the parliamentary democracy. This act will lead to the same outcome of previous coups," the statement read.
Chotisak On-soong, leader of the Student Activity Information Resource, said his group would join the network's campaign at Siam Paragon today.
"We will also provide black armbands for people who want to join the campaign," he said.
Chotisak yesterday filed a petition at the office of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), urging it to protect their right to gather at Siam Paragon.
Meanwhile Thanaphol Eiwsakul, editor of Fah Diew Kan magazine, yesterday submitted a letter demanding the NHRC take a clear stance on the coup.
"In the interview given by Saneh Chamarik, chairman of the NHRC, he stated, 'I do not think [the coup] is about progression or regression [of democracy] but about problem solving'," Thanaphol wrote. He added the statement had given legitimacy to the coup and demanded other NHRC commissioners take a position on the matter. Suwit Lertkraimethi, who is studying for a master's degree in Thammasat University's Political Science Department and is a member of the 19 September Network against Coup d'Etat, demanded Saneh resign.
"His role is to protect human rights, but his statement showed his approval of human-rights violations," Suwit said.
The network invites people to exercise their freedom of expression on its website www.19sep.org. So far it is the only visible group of coup opponents to emerge. As of yesterday more than 1,000 people had read the statement on its website.
