MARINE students in South Tyneside have sailed through their exams with stunning success – the second time round.
Those who initially floundered have resurfaced to vastly surpass national external re-take pass rates.
The results further buoy the world-famous South Tyneside College's Marine School's international standing.
In Deck Officer of the Watch SQA exams, they scored 53 per cent success in the navigation module, compared with a 38 per cent national average.
And in 'stability and operations' they achieved even more stunning results, enjoying a pass rate of 82 per cent against a national average of 47 per cent.
Their success has been welcomed by staff at the Marine School, which this month was described as outstanding by education watchdog Ofsted and which has had a recent £3.2m upgrade.
Michael Speers, the college's curriculum leader, said: "The results are excellent and real credit to the lecturing staff, who have assisted the students and worked so hard.
"These students had previously been unsuccessful but were determined to work hard and re-take their exams.
"They have excelled and have done extremely well to stick in and pass.
"Their success is testament to the tremendous learning opportunities at the Marine School and the dedication of all involved. These rates reflect extremely positively on the amount of work put in by staff.
"There really is no better place than South Tyneside College for marine students to learn their profession."
Nine of 17 students passed the re-sat exam's navigation element. Nationally, just 54 of 142 students did likewise.
And for stability and operations, nine of 11 college students passed, compared with 50 out 107 throughout the country.
Ofsted's latest report said the marine school's continued success was a contributing factor to the college achieving an overall improved 'good' grading in its latest report.
Inspectors found the department used technology innovatively, with students able to convert learning resources for use on electronic devices for access while way at sea.
They also judged the range of specialist maritime courses and facilities, including bespoke training to meet the needs of the industry worldwide, was outstanding.
The department's £3.2m overhaul included a new dedicated Marine School and an upgrade to state-of-the-art training facilities.

What's it like to win American Idol? David Cook isn't really sure yet. "I need a couple more days to wrap my head around what happened," says the 25-year-old Missouri rocker, who topped runner-up David Archuleta by a landslide 12 million votes. "It's such a life-changing thing." And a bittersweet victory: Cook's brother Adam, 36, has been battling brain cancer but was able to attend the May 21 finale. David wipes away tears as he talks about dealing with his brother's struggle during the competition. "I know that he's proud, and that is kind of getting me through at this point," he says. "He's still fighting, which is all we can ask for right now." His mom, Beth Foraker, and brother Andrew joined Cook onstage after his win: "I loved that I got to share that moment with them."
Cook, who was tending bar in Oklahoma less than a year ago, is now getting used to paparazzi, who recently caught him stepping out with season 2 Idol alum Kimberly Caldwell, 26, to Ruth's Chris steak house in L.A., after he asked her out live on the TV Guide Channel's Idol Tonight preshow. Cook, who says he's "single-ish," finds all of the female attention "very, very new." And odd. "I'm thinking, where was that before the show?" he jokes. "I'm just a nerd. I'm a goofball. You guys might want to get to know me a little bit more."

Between 1996 and 2002 our bees were more defensive on average with the chance of extremes in both directions (super gentle to intolerable). Since 2001 we have been able to refocus on all the traits that we want our bees to have including good attitudes. Each year there has been significant improvement. Not only in our opinion but in that of our customers.

"Culture and Middle Eastern Studies"
10-12 December, 2010. Ankara, Turkey
The congress aims to bring together scholars of the Middle East to exchange ideas and findings concerning the mutual problems of the region, and swap experiences about scientific methods and approaches within Middle Eastern studies. This will be an excellent opportunity to explore the varied intellectual trends across scholarly boundaries. Among the growing trends, we will focuses on the cultural variables in understanding political, economic, social, and historical issues. Such trends are most important for our region since culture is essential for attaining homogeneity and unity in the region while recognizing its diversity. ATCOSS 2010 aims to reconsider cultural factors in relation to other factors in attempting to build new untraditional perspectives and approaches for Middle Eastern studies. The Congress invites the researchers from all fields and branches of social sciences to participate with papers in Arabic, Turkish or English. We suggest the following themes (though not limited to):
International relations and issues.
Public policy
Society and the state
Political and economic development
Pedagogical theories and systems
Media and virtual reality studies
Comparative religion studies
Ethics of politics and economic practice
Acculturation and dialogue of civilizations
Innovation in literature and arts theory
Cross-cultures comparisons
Cities and urban transformations
Comparative history
Middle Eastern relations
Young Academics: The Congress specifically encourages young academics interested in the regional affairs in general and the Arab-Turkish affairs in particular. 10 young scholars (graduate students) from Arab and Turkish sides will be completely sponsored to attend the Congress.
Important Dates:
August 10th, 2010: Abstract/proposal submission
September 1st, 2010: Notification of Acceptance
November 25th, 2010: Full papers submission
10-12 December, 2010: Congress Sessions
Attendance: All participants – except for paper presenters – will be required to register for 50 US$ for scholars and 30 US$ for students. We will have a limited number of funds for the scholars from developing countries. The organizing committee will provide the participants with administrative support in finding suitable accommodation during the Congress.

Bluesman extraordinaire Joe Bonamassa is bringing his high-energy brand of blues and blues rock to the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts on Friday.
Blues fans won't want to miss this 29-year-old master guitar whiz when he and his crew roll into town.
how to go
who: Joe Bonamassa
what: Concert
where: Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts
when: 8 p.m. Friday
admission: $28
Born in upstate New York, Bonamassa started playing guitar at the age of 4. By 7 he had graduated to a full-scale model guitar and a year later he was playing the blues like a veteran, his bio information states.
"My father was a guitar dealer and player, so guitars were always around the house and part of my life. They were like chairs or tables, in that they were just as everyday."
It paid off.
At age 12 he was asked to open for B.B. King. Last summer Bonamassa was personally asked by King to open for his landmark 80th Birthday Celebration Tour.
"He's still just the same person I met when I was 12 as he is at 80. He's just a true gentleman in every sense of the word. He's probably my greatest influence as a human being and as a player."
Talk about making it.

A virtual reincarnation of
Ornette Coleman
's first ensembles, the cooperative
Old and New Dreams
brought together trumpeter
Don Cherry
, tenor saxophonist
Dewey Redman
, bassist
Charlie Haden
, and drummer
Ed Blackwell
to reinterpret the master's early repertoire. By the time their first album was released in 1978, ECM's
Old and New Dreams
, all four musicians were leaders with their own projects; this perhaps explains the intermittent nature of their ensuing collaboration (three albums in ten years). The quality of the group's recordings was uniformly high; the two ECM albums benefit from that label's characteristic clarity of sound. With the deaths of
in the '90s, further collaborations of course became impossible. However, the band's limited yet superb output is an important complement to the work they did under
's leadership in the late '50s and early '60s.

HERNDON, Va. (Dec. 10, 2003) -- Deltek, the ERP Vendor of choice for project-based businesses, today announced that it has teamed with Meridian Project Systems® (MPS), a leading provider of project management software and ASP solutions, to create a world class software and services solution for the $245 billion U.S. construction industry market, as estimated by McGraw-Hill Dodge in its 2003 report. This partnership expands Deltek's aggressive vertical market initiative into the architecture/engineering/ construction industry segment, where it has some 6,000 clients, and extends Meridian's best-in-class integrated project management suite for customers seeking optimal integration with financial systems.
Featured prominently in the partnership are Deltek's Costpoint®, a market-leading enterprise financial software solution for project-based businesses, and Meridian's Prolog® Manager, which provides complete project control by automating all aspects of the construction lifecycle, from project design to close-out.
In June 2003, Deltek successfully completed the certification process required to be an MPS Authorized DataBridge partner, which allows industry-leading vendors to develop and market integration capabilities for Meridian's project management applications. The new Deltek-Meridian integration turns cost commitment data created in Prolog Manager into pending Purchase Orders in Deltek Costpoint, saving countless hours of needless redundant data entry by accounting staff. Architecture, engineering, and construction companies can now easily synchronize, track and cost-effectively manage resources on intricate building projects, such as publicly-funded programs that have stringent fiduciary requirements and reporting.
One of the first clients to deploy the joint Deltek-Meridian offering is DMJM/JGM Management, which is managing the 10-year, $2.2 billion Los Angeles Community District project to refurbish and/or build nine California college campuses. DMJMH+N Inc., a subsidiary of AECOM Technology Corp., in joint venture with JGM Inc. manages the activities and accounting of nine project management firms, and multiple architect and construction companies.
"As the complexity of the building process increases, either due to size and scope and/or because of the public reporting and accounting requirements, Deltek and Meridian can streamline all of the variables," said Rick Lowrey, executive vice president, Deltek. "There are products on the market designed to deal with more straight-up projects, but when you are looking for a world class technology solution that delivers a fast, hard-dollar return on investment - nothing is better than the Meridian-Deltek combination."
Specific areas where the partnered offering can bring real return are program controls, such as scheduling and estimating, contract management, economic outreach provisos, and labor compliance regulations.
"By partnering with Deltek, we are able to provide our customers with a valuable solution for companies looking to streamline and enhance the integration of data between project and financial systems," said John Bodrozic, president and cofounder of Meridian Project Systems.
About MPSMeridian Project Systems® (MPS) develops project management solutions that improve financial performance and reduce risk on large corporate real estate projects and other capital-intensive construction initiatives. Over 8,500 of today's leading business enterprises, government agencies, and AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) firms use MPS products to accurately plan, budget, and track all aspects of the real estate project lifecycle.
MPS is the first provider of enterprise business process management solutions utilizing Web Services in the corporate real estate arena. MPS is also unique in providing both self-hosted software and hosted ASP-based solutions, and ranks as the market share leader in project management software and collaboration software used by general contractors over $250 million in revenue*.
In the Business of Projects since 1993, MPS appeared on Inc. Magazine's INC 500 list of fastest growing companies in the United States in both 2000 and 2001. MPS is headquartered in Folsom, CA, with offices in Düsseldorf, Germany; and Vancouver, British Columbia, with additional representation through its global channel partner network in locations around the world.

Tree roots dangle from the glass-roofed atrium of Headquarters Library.
Sculpted by artist Laura Allen from old books, glue, plastic, tape, and starch, the installation fills the expansive ceiling space and can't be missed by the hundreds of library visitors passing through each day.
At a time when books on paper are increasingly sharing space on library and home shelves with eBooks, Allen is among a group of artists who are extracting from their paper bindings beautiful illustrations and the words themselves and transforming bookish elements into works of art. Read her artist's statement about these sculptures.
Laura Allen lives and sculpts in Fredericksburg, supports the local arts community working at Artful Dimensions, a membership art gallery specializing in promoting and encouraging dimensional artistry. She holds a B.A. in studio art from Davidson College and an M.F.A. in sculpture from Portland State. She is interested in crafting three-dimensional works from everyday objects that reflect society.
"Roots" will hang in the library space for the foreseeable future.
For more information about the exhibit or her artwork, call Laura Allen at (540) 899-3970.

I bought my 1978 Beetle convertible new. It still has the original chrome yellow paint. No more factory touch left in my bottle, so AutomotiveTouchUp hooked me up. It is a perfect match after all these years.
Thank you very much.
I am really happy with the spray paint I ordered from you. My lemon yellow VW type 1 -79 needed to be painted in the door openings and the A-posts. The paint you sent turned out to be a perfect match. I used 3 layers of paint and now you can`t tell it from the original paint finish.
Thank you Automotive Touchup!

text: Oh, the journey has just begun for you. Once you get past the dull and tasteless grains you are free to experiment with a whole new culinary world of flavor. I've found organ meats....liver, heart (cook it like a roast and its delisious), sashimi, beef tartare, ox tail, liverwurst and more. On the veggie end there are countless ways to use spices and herbs along with more pungent varieties like kale and mustard greens....things I haven't tried in a while like turnips and eggplants....and my new favorite is fermenting my home vegetables from the garden as a preservation method. Any more and I may make your head explode so I'll stop now

What is in this article?:
- New barley variety resists stripe rust fungus
- Ten years in making
- Oregon State University has developed the first winter hooded barley that produces high yields of forage, thrives in the Northwest and resists a crop-damaging fungus known as stripe rust.
- The new variety, named Verdant, is best-suited for forage for livestock because it produces abundant leafy matter. In field experiments, Verdant produced a maximum of 10 tons of forage per acre and yielded a maximum of 2.7 tons of grain per acre.
Ten years in making
It took 10 years to bring Verdant to market. Field trials took place from 2001-04 at OSU's Hyslop Farm near Corvallis. With funding from the Oregon Grains Commission, researchers kept the crosses that had hooded spikes and high bushel weight, resisted stripe rust and scald (a disease caused by another fungus) and were resistant to lodging (straw breakage). They then planted these lines at OSU research plots in other parts of Oregon. Verdant stood out and was later grown on plots in southern Idaho, northern California and parts of Utah. Washington State University, the University of Idaho and the USDA also helped grow and test the variety.
As part of the licensing agreement with Tri-State Seed, OSU will maintain breeder's seed and will receive royalties of two cents a pound to fund the development of additional varieties of barley, Hayes said. Verdant barley has its own DNA "fingerprint," or genetic profile, which was developed with the support of the USDA-NIFA Barley CAP Project to provide more efficient development of varieties in the future.
This new variety is part of OSU's efforts to develop Oregon's barley industry. In addition to creating new varieties, Hayes is exploring the malting qualities in Oregon's six-row winter barleys, which he hopes can satisfy the region's taste for quality microbrews.
Hayes also is collaborating with OSU food chemist and baker Andrew Ross to develop a healthy, beta-glucan-rich food barley, which they have used to make bread. Hayes has also received $850,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop barley that tolerates climate change.
As part of OSU's effort to create a market for Oregon-grown barley, OSU students plan to build during this winter term a malter capable of processing up to 300 pounds of barley. It will be funded with a recent $12,352 grant from the Agricultural Research Foundation. The equipment will become part of the university's existing research brewery. The idea is that researchers and companies would pay to use the machine to test new barley varieties or malting techniques. In the future, the departments involved in the malt unit may collaborate on building a mini-pearler to remove hulls from barley. As with malters, current pearler machines are designed for very large or very small amounts.
Last year, Oregon farmers sold $9.3 million of barley, an increase of 24 percent from 2009 figures, harvested on 34,450 acres, according to a report by the OSU Extension Service.

Holocaust Remembrance Programs on WQED-TV
Sunday, April 6 at 6 p.m.
• Return
When Fred Sondermann escaped Nazi Germany in 1939, he never imagined he would return. For him, Germany held nothing but the bitter memories of discrimination, persecution, and death. Adapted from his memoirs, Return recounts his journey, and explores the emotions and conclusions of an American Jew returning to his homeland after 30 years. Accompanying the riveting first person narrative are interviews with family and friends. All of this is shown along with contemporary photography, video of both the Dachau concentration camp and Sondermann's hometown of Horn, juxtaposed with archival images, documents, period footage, and the few surviving family photos.
Thursday, April 10 at 10 p.m.
• Skokie: Invaded But Not Conquered (New)
This Emmy nominated film, hosted by journalist and comedian Aaron Freeman, examines the issues associated with the Neo-Nazi march in the holocaust survivor haven of Skokie, Illinois. Produced to mark the event's 35th anniversary, the film utilizes archival footage, movie clips, and contemporary interviews to explore its impact both then and now. The film reveals how the march turned a group of Holocaust survivors into activists.
Friday, April 11 at 10 p.m.
• A Promise to my Father (New)
This documentary tells the story of Israel "Izzy" Arbeiter a holocaust survivor. Beginning in Poland just prior to the tragic capture of his family, the film follows Izzy as his father's final words motivate him as he slaves away in factories and camps. The film then follows him on his final journey home where he tries to unearth several religious artifacts his family had buried 73 years before in an attempt to save them from the invading Germans. Izzy speaks for his less fortunate family members, and shares their incredible story with any who will listen.

MIDLAND, Michigan — When Terry Collins interviewed for the Houston Astros managerial job back in 1994, Astros owner Drayton McLane had a simple but important question for the 62-year-old Midland native.
"He asked me to tell him what a leader is," Collins said Wednesday during a keynote address to the Great Lakes Bay Regional Leadership Conference at Midland Country Club.
"I told him a leader will take you to a place you won't go alone," Collins said. "After I got the job, he (McLane) came up to me and told me that my answer was the reason why."
Now entering his second season as manager of the New York Mets, Collins is digging for all the leadership skills to take someone to where he might not go alone. Jose Reyes, the Mets' superstar shortstop and 2011 National League batting champion, is a free agent and shopping his services throughout the major leagues.
The Mets hope to re-sign their All-Star shortstop, but know the price for doing so might be a challenge to meet.
"If anyone would like to make a donation to help us sign Jose Reyes, I'll take it," Collins semi-joked to the crowd in attendance Tuesday.
The Mets' budget for players' salaries is limited because team owner Fred Wilpon . still is embroiled in a lawsuit related to his alleged involvement in the Bernard Madoff Ponzi-scheme scandal, which Wilpon had invested in. Collins said the loss to the Wilpons could be as little as $250 million, which is much less than the original reports of a potential $1 billion loss.
"I think we have a chance to sign him, but I think it's going to cost alot of money," Collins said. "The guy is one of the finest players tool-wise I've ever seen. He plays the game the way you want everyone to play — all-out, maximum effort. And he's a first-class human being off the field.
If the Mets are unable to re-sign Reyes, plenty of other major league teams will be lining up at the free-agent display window for a look.
That incudes the Detroit Tigers, managed by Jim Leyland, who Collins ranks as one of his two top mentors, with his father Bud Collins being the other. The New York Yankees are another team likely to enter the bidding.
"He has that special mentality to play in New York City," Collins said. "But if he's a (Detroit) Tiger, obviously I wouldn't want him playing for anyone else but Jim Leyland.
"And I'll tell you what. If they get him, they're a whole lot better in a hurry."
Collins also managed the Astros for three seasons compiling a 224-197 record, the Anaheim Angels from 1997-1999, posting a 220-237 record, and two seasons with the Orix Buffaloes in Japan. He has a lifetime 444-434 career record in seven major leagues seasons as a manager.
Collins also was the Director of Field Instruction for the Los Angeles Dodgers and was instrumental in convincing the Dodgers to form their current affilation with the Midland-based Great Lakes Loons, a Class A minor league franchise.
The city of Midland also bestowed an honor on Collins on Tuesday, presenting him with a proclamation proclaiming Nov. 9, 2011 "Terry Collins Day" in Midland.

What the Heck Are the Food Innovator Awards?
So there we were this morning, scalding-hot coffees in hand, eyes still bleary, hoping desperately that some undiscovered nugget from the Web would save us from having to come up with that perfect story pitch at the morning meeting.
And then we saw it, on our very own site, floating above the fold like a silver cloud streaked with sapphires: the Food Innovator Awards, presented by Bon Appetit (that's us!) and the good folks at Lexus.
Once the caffeine had had its desired effect, we realized that this was somewhat cool. The idea is simple: Submit your idea for a food-related business, and then we at BA will pick the top five ideas to send on over to RocketHub (think Kickstarter, but more business-y). Whichever project gets the most support wins a promo video on bonappetit.com–and an extra $10,000.
Our minds started racing. Which innovative idea would we submit? That long-stewing plan to launch a sandwich-delivery helicopter service? The chain restaurant staffed by shark waiters? The machine that wraps bacon around anything and everything?
Then we realized that BA staffers are prohibited from entering–a privilege reserved only for you, our dear readers–and so we went with the only idea we had left: writing a post about it.

Consumer/Quality Insider: Family Health Advocacy
(opening music)
Debra: This is Healthcare 411 for the week of July 5, 2006. Healthcare 411 is produced by AHRQ, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. I'm Debra James.
Rand: And I'm Rand Gardner.
Debra: Getting quality health care means you need to take an active role in your own health care. If you're not the type of person who is comfortable asking questions of your doctors, or if you're facing a difficult medical decision, you might want to bring along a family member or friend who can help you ask questions. Or perhaps someone you know needs your help. Dr. Carolyn Clancy, Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, is here with Rand Gardner to discuss what you should know about having, or being, a family health advocate.
Rand: Dr. Clancy, thank you for joining us today.
Dr. Clancy: A pleasure.
Rand: So what is a family advocate?
Dr. Clancy: By a family advocate, we mean a friend or family member who can accompany you when you're going to a medical visit with a physician or to the hospital someone who can function as your extra set of eyes and ears so that you make sure you get all the relevant information. A family advocate could be a close friend it could be a co-worker, someone that you trust and who brings your best interest to the encounter.
Rand: Why would someone need a family advocate or have somebody else be their eyes and ears?
Dr. Clancy: Many encounters with health care are routine and fairly mundane and you probably wouldn't need a family advocate for that. On the other hand, if you had been told that you had a very serious diagnosis for example cancer most people, upon hearing that news, are still awake, they're still conscious and listening to what's coming next, but its an incredible emotional moment and its almost guaranteed that they're going to miss details. Having an advocate with you means that someone else is going to be picking up on some of the information that probably went right by you because some part of your brain is thinking Wow, what happens next? What am I going to do?
Rand: How would I know when to bring someone with me?
Dr. Clancy: The question of when you would bring a family advocate is a really good one and there's not always a clear answer. There are many occasions when people have been having a series of tests and the question in mind is - is this something serious like a cancer? And then they go to have an appointment with the doctor to discuss the test results. That's the kind of scenario where you might know ahead of time. Other times it might be that you would actually have to come back for another visit and bring someone with you. Its not always predictable, in terms of the timing. There are many leaders in health care who actually make a recommendation that if you're going to be admitted to the hospital, that the more you can have someone with you - an advocate - the better off you'll be.
Rand: Would I need approval to bring someone with me into the hospital or a doctors office?
Dr. Clancy: You don't need approval ahead of time to bring someone with you. In general, most of the time, if you ask about two minutes before you're walking into the exam room, that's perfectly okay and many doctors are very accustomed to this.
Rand: Okay, what should I be considering in choosing somebody to be my advocate?
Dr. Clancy: I think it would be important, when choosing someone to be your advocate, to select someone who is not going to get even more worried or anxious than you might be someone who's pretty calm, someone who can ask good questions, and someone who knows you pretty well.
Rand: What should a potential family advocate understand about the role before they say yes?
Dr. Clancy: A potential family advocate should know what it is that you expect from them. Most people don't necessarily want an advocate to be making decisions for them while they are conscious and capable of making those decisions. It would be helpful to have a conversation with the advocate before the encounter or hospital visit that you're bringing them for you know, to go over what you're expecting, what you're worried about, how they can be helpful to you, and so forth. As a family advocate it would be really helpful for you to know whether your friend or relative what kinds of tests they have had, what kinds of medications and prior conditions they have already, and, specifically, what they're worried about.
Rand: Is there anything special you would need to know to be an advocate for a child or for an elderly person?
Dr. Clancy: Being an advocate for a child or for an elderly parent, relative or friend, has some very similar features. In both instances, an advocate may actually be voicing questions and concerns for an individual who may not be capable of doing that themselves in the case of a child because they don't have the right language or don't know the questions to ask. In the case of an older person its not even occurring to them to ask very specific questions. But in both instances, there are very strong similarities. The big difference would be if you were a parent of a child, you've got a legal responsibility. That's going to be far less clear if you are the advocate for an older person.
Rand: But there are other issues that are important to understand when being an advocate for an older person, aren't there?
Dr. Clancy: One particular issue that's incredibly common among older people is being hard of hearing and what that means isn't just that the patient may have difficulty hearing, which is hard enough, but many people don't like to know to let others know that they're having so much trouble hearing, so they'll nod, and the advocate can play a very important role by making sure that the patient is actually understanding the answer to the question, which will save a great deal of time and trouble down the road. For people with vision issues, or for people who have trouble reading, an advocate can be incredibly helpful by helping the doctor or health care professional to understand that he or she might be pointing out something to the patient for example, a finding on an x-ray that the patient is unlikely to see. In that instance, the advocate can literally be the patients extra set of eyes and can explain that to the patient. Similarly, the advocate can read some things for people who have difficulty reading or who's first language is not English.
Rand: Alright, so as long as I can tell my doctors that its okay to speak in front of my health care advocate, you've indicated it shouldn't be a problem. But what if I need my advocate to speak FOR me, say if I'm unconscious?
Dr. Clancy: If you're going to want your advocate to be able to speak to your doctor and other health professionals providing care to you, you may need to sign some forms giving that person the right to do so, so that they know your privacy would be protected. If you're a family advocate, it would be important to know if that individual has an advance directive what some people would call a living will and if so, if they have designated a relative or friend to have power of attorney to make decisions for them if something unexpected happens say they're put on a respirator or some catastrophic events happens to them. If they don't, then that might be something that you would discuss with the person for whom you're advocating.
Rand: Well Dr. Clancy, how can someone be helpful to a person who just needs help navigating the health system, or perhaps someone with limited English skills? What should these advocates know?
Dr. Clancy: Some of the issues that a family advocate might need to be especially attentive to would include insurance issues. Occasionally people overlook the fact that they might need a paper if they're going to have a particular test or a referral to a specialist done so an advocate could be right there to say Do I need to bring a piece of paper, is there some specific form that I need? An advocate is likely to be in a position to be a very good observer of how health care professionals are interacting with that particular patient. If a patient even one who has some difficulty communicating questions or concerns begins to voice some concerns and the advocate notices that a health care professional is ignoring them, that's very, very important and the advocate might be in a position to raise the question about whether it might be time to see someone else. An advocate could also be very helpful with issues related to transportation, dealing with issues of medication compliance and potential side effects, asking questions about follow-up care after surgery, or even specific types of tests done on an outpatient basis. And also, asking the what's next question If this test is negative, what does that mean? If its positive, do I have to have more tests and so forth.
Rand: Dr. Clancy, is there a final thought you would like to leave with our listeners?
Dr. Clancy: You never know. All of us, at any point in time, may one day either need an advocate or be asked to be one. Its important to be prepared and think through what you're going to need and how another person can help you.
Rand: Dr. Carolyn Clancy, thank you for talking with us today.
Dr. Clancy: Thanks very much for having me.
Debra: That's it for this week. For more information on these and other health-related stories and topics go to www.ahrq.gov. Healthcare 411 is produced by AHRQ, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. For Rand Gardner, I'm Debra James. Please join us for the next edition of Healthcare 411.

I love this idea from Festa com Gosto! This Dainty Vintage Paper Doll Themed Party is just so creative & absolutely darling. The pastels, doilies and girly details captured my heart… specifically the vintage dress cookies strung as a dessert table garland!
PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:
– Pink Ombre Ruffle First Birthday Cake with Navy Accents
– Favors displayed in a Vintage Style Carriage, Bright Cotton Candy & Pastel Macarons
– Cupcakes Topped with Paper Doll Dresses + Doily Table Runner
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Julia…
Valentina's first birthday party needed to be cute, sweet, girly and fun, just like the birthday girl and her pretty mom Carolina! We were so happy to be a part of this moment and to have had such liberty creating this darling party (thanks Carol!).
Carolina wanted a different theme for her daughter's birthday and it had to have pink, her favorite color. We were inspired by Valentina's pink and navy bedroom and the candy colors usually used in the vintage paper dolls we chose as her theme. We wanted lots of doilies everywhere, delicate fabrics and patterns, beatiful flowers and lots of light for this party. The celebration was hosted on grandma's yard and it was the perfect sunny day we expected!
We had a doilie backdrop with Valentina's name in decorated paper making the scene for the gorgeous desserts made by Isa Herzog. It all looked heavenly with ruffles, lace, pink, navy and lots of miniature dresses all over the table! Isa always delights us with her creations and I fell in love with it all. The cake was beatiful, the cupcakes, cake pops, everything! But my favorite had to be the precious decorated cookies she made! Look at those cookie dresses hanging from the table! Such detail! It all looked great together. The desserts also included brigadeiros, jello and macaroons.
We had a small candy table just for the kids, all prettily arranged with lace and bows, a small table with cute tags that the guests could write on to leave Valentina their good wishes, a long table full of brigadeiros and flowers for the elderly guests to sit and enjoy the party from, the baby's monthly pictures until her first birthday and a lot of pretty balloons! All in all the party was beatiful and a hit. We really enjoyed it!
This beautiful pictures were taken by our dear photographer and friend Giselle Sauer, who makes everything she points her lenses at look better!

Welcome. Good luck with primal!
Hi to all of you!
I've been "lurking" here for about a month. My younger brother, who's a Primal fire fighter in VA, encouraged me to check out this site and the Primal diet. He's my hero!
Anyway, I've been Primal for about 3 weeks now. I'm 32, live in Greenville, SC with my almost-primal basenji. I've learned so much from reading all the posts and responses on this forum! Just about every question or complaint I've had, someone's already asked. That's refreshing!
I haven't really lost any weight at this point, but I've certainly "shape-shifted", for lack of a better word! I'm tracking my weight/food through FitDay, which helps. At 5'10" and 155 lbs, I really don't need to lose much in the way of weight. However, I'd like to see all those ab muscles I work on! LOL
Oh...and as for the forum name, I was listening to that song "The Living Years" while I was registering. Seemed to fit though, 'cause there is no time like the present to take care of our bodies and our health. Life is short! Looking forward to participating here.
Welcome. Good luck with primal!
Ancestral Health Info
I design websites and blogs for a living. If you would like a blog or website designed by someone who understands Primal, see my web page.
Primal Blueprint Explorer My blog for people who are not into the Grok thing. Since starting the blog, I have moved close to being Archevore instead of Primal. But Mark's Daily Apple is still the best source of information about living an ancestral lifestyle.
Hey best of luck with the new lifestyle! I'm right here near you in Spartanburg. Good to know there are more of us around this area.

Working with the Legislature
- Identifying Federal and State Legislators
- How a Bill Becomes a Law
- Making Initial Contacts with Legislators
- Contacting Legislators to Discuss a Specific Bill
- How to Participate in a Legislative Committee Hearing
If we have a reasonable working relationship with our legislators, or at least know who they are and how to get in touch with them, we will be in a stronger position when we want to support or oppose a piece of legislation that is important to us or if we need to resolve a problem with a government agency or official. Here is basic information on how a bill becomes a law, how to contact legislators and develop a working relationship with legislators, and how to testify at a legislative hearing.
Identifying Federal and State Legislators
State legislatures and the US Congress have jurisdiction over fairly distinct although somewhat overlapping areas of the government. The role of the federal government in education is very limited; the vast majority of laws concerning education are passed by state legislatures. It does not work well to ask the federal government to pass laws to take care of us or solve our problems, such as those that are supposed to protect parental rights.
Wisconsin citizens are represented in the Wisconsin Legislature by one representative who is a member of the Assembly and serves a two-year term and one senator who serves a four-year term. For their names, addresses, and phone numbers, call your local library or call the Legislative Hotline at 800-362-9472 (in Madison, 266-9960). Or visit: http://www.legis.state.wi.us
In case it is needed, here is information about the US Congress. American citizens are represented by one representative who is a member of the US House of Representatives and serves a two-year term, and two senators who are members of the US Senate and serve a six-year term. As of 2008, there are eight congressional districts in Wisconsin, each represented by one US Representative. Everyone in Wisconsin is represented by the same two Senators. To find the names of your US Representative and Senators, call your local library, use a computer service that lists such information, or look in the government section of the phone book under United States Government.
Because we often contact legislators so we can share our ideas and concerns about legislation currently before the Legislature, here is a brief review of the legislative process followed by information on ways of contacting legislators.
How a Bill Becomes a Law
Remember that laws are not the only (or even necessarily the best) means of maintaining rights and responsibilities. (For more on this, see the WPA handbook, Chapter 23). Also, it is seldom, if ever, a good idea for a small minority that does not have much money or power (such as homeschoolers) to try to initiate legislation and get it passed. It is difficult for a minority to get the necessary support for legislation. The process often backfires as the initial legislation is amended and the law that passes ends up working against, rather than for, its initial sponsors. Initiating legislation in one area can easily serve as a catalyst that opens other areas of the law to change, areas we do not want changed. In addition, much of the legislation that might be proposed regarding homeschooling would undermine our homeschooling freedoms.
Keeping these points in mind, let's consider the process by which a bill becomes a law in Wisconsin. A similar process is followed in passing federal legislation.
1. When legislators have an idea for a new law or a change in an existing law, they have it drafted as a bill. The Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB) drafts most bills, although the Legislative Council Service (LCS) does some.
2. One or more legislators introduce the bill by having the Chief Clerk of the Assembly or Senate, or both, record it, assign it a number, and, usually, assign it to a legislative committee. At this point the bill must become available to the general public; before this it can be kept a secret.
3. Hearings are not required, but at least one is held on most bills. The chairperson of the appropriate committee schedules the hearing, so chairpersons have considerable power in deciding whether a bill gets a hearing, how quickly this happens, and whether the full committee votes on it. Hearings are open to the public, and anyone may speak and/or register for or against the bill. The committee goes into executive session (during which only committee members may speak) to amend and vote on the bill. This may happen on the same day as the hearing or later. If the bill is controversial or the hearing draws a large number of people, the chairperson will often delay the executive session. Amendments to the bill made by legislators during executive session or later can result in a much different bill than the one considered at the public hearing.
4. The Committee on Rules schedules the bill for floor debate in the Assembly or the Senate. A bill can die in this committee if it is not scheduled. Toward the end of a legislative session, this happens fairly often.
5. The bill is debated and voted on by the full Assembly or Senate and passed or defeated with or without amendments.
6. The bill goes to the other house of the Legislature and steps three, four, and five are repeated. If the bill is amended further in the second house, either it goes back to the first house so the new amendments can be considered or it goes to a conference committee to resolve the differences between the versions from the two houses. Once the same version of the bill passes both houses, it goes to the governor for signature.
7. The bill becomes law when signed by the governor. If the governor vetoes the bill, both houses of the Legislature must override the veto by a two-thirds majority for the bill to become law.
Making Initial Contacts with Legislators
Among the ways to contact a legislator are the following:
- Many legislators have open meetings with their constituents. Call the legislator's office in your district to find out when and where such meetings are held.
- A letter of introduction can be written. If you send your letter by e-mail, mention in the subject that you are a constituent and include your street address and city or town in the message.
- Make an appointment to meet legislators at their offices either in your district or in the capitol in Madison.
- Invite legislators to speak to your support group. Groups that include more than one district sometimes invite a senator and several representatives.
Whatever approach is chosen, legislators will be more likely to support good homeschooling laws if they have had positive encounters with homeschoolers as real people, not just as statistics. A particularly good time to get to know legislators is while they are candidates for election or re-election. (Representatives are elected in November of even-numbered years. Senators from odd-numbered districts will be elected in 2010 and 2014, those from even-numbered districts in 2008 and 2012, etc.) But if there will not be an election within the next few months, don't wait for the next one to get to know your legislators.
Among the topics you may want to discuss with your legislators are the following.
- Wisconsin's homeschooling law is working very well. (Consider sharing some personal experiences and reasons you appreciate having such a reasonable law.)
- Thousands of homeschooled children in Wisconsin enter or re-enter conventional schools each year with no problem. This gives concrete evidence that the homeschooling law is working well.
- The law balances the state's interest in ensuring that children do not grow up to become a burden on the state, parents' rights to choose an education for their children that is consistent with their principles and beliefs, and children's rights to a quality education consistent with their needs and abilities. For more information to share with your legislators, see Chapter 28 of the WPA handbook.
- The law holds homeschooling parents accountable. See Chapter 28 of the handbook. Homeschools need to meet the same standards and criteria as other private schools. Each year they must submit a signed form to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), attesting that they are in compliance with the law, are providing 875 hours of instruction and a sequentially progressive curriculum in the required subjects, and are not attempting to circumvent the compulsory school attendance law. Homeschoolers can be prosecuted for truancy, a criminal offense punishable by fines and/or imprisonment.
- There is no evidence that the homeschooling law needs to be changed. Further regulation would be harmful and would unnecessarily restrict the flexibility that homeschools need to operate effectively. Despite these facts, the DPI and other parts of the educational establishment try to gain greater control over homeschools, sometimes through legislation that would serve their self-interests at the expense of homeschoolers.
- Share with your legislator the information in Chapter 24 of the handbook. Explain the kinds of legislation that homeschoolers don't want. This will probably surprise many legislators and aides, because most people who contact legislators want them to do something, often introduce legislation. However, homeschoolers do not want government money because they realize that money would be accompanied by increased regulation by the government, a price they are not willing to pay.
Other sections of the handbook give more detail and support for these points and ideas for other topics to discuss. You may also find it helpful to ask your legislators whether they have questions or concerns about homeschooling. The handbook will help you be better prepared to answer questions. Offer to find answers to questions you can't answer and to send them more information if they are interested. Ask your legislators for their support in maintaining the current homeschooling law without change. Ask them what their position is on homeschooling and on Wisconsin's homeschooling law.
Contacting Legislators to Discuss a Specific Bill
When you hear about a bill relating to homeschooling or another topic that concerns you, it is time to act, whether or not you have previously contacted your legislators. The first step is to make sure that you have accurate information about the bill and what it will and will not do. Do not act quickly on the basis of rumors or scanty information, even if you hear there is a legislative emergency. Take time to make sure the information you have received is accurate and it comes from a reliable source. If possible, get a copy of the bill from http://www.legis.state.wi.us/. Read and interpret the bill yourself and discuss it with others. Check with other homeschoolers in your district to be sure you are working together and not at cross purposes. Give information that you gather to your WPA Regional Coordinator so that it can be shared with others.
When you are confident that you have accurate information about the bill and know where you stand on the issues involved, contact your legislators. If you use email, mention in the subject that you are a constituent and include your street address and city or town in the message. In writing, you can begin by identifying yourself, your work, community, position, etc. State your concern or request, identifying the bill by number and general subject. Thank your legislators for any previous help. Briefly and factually state the main arguments to support your position. Choose arguments that your legislator is most likely to agree with even if they are not the most important points to you. It is fine to indicate how the bill would affect your family but even better if you can indicate how it would affect others as well. Assume that your letter will be read and acted upon. Be reasonable and courteous, and do not use threats. Do not use exaggerated or misleading information. Ask your legislators to tell you their views on the bill in question and to notify you when a hearing is scheduled. Close with a note of thanks and your full name and postal address.
If your legislators respond favorably, send a letter of appreciation.
If you want to talk with your legislators, you can call their offices or call the Legislative Hotline (800-362-9472; in Madison, 266-9960) and ask to have them call you. Plan your call before you dial by listing the issues you want to cover and rehearsing if you like. When you call, identify yourself. If your legislators are busy or not available, you may talk with an aide, which is fine. Be friendly and courteous. Give the specific reason for your call, and say you would like your legislator to work for (or against) the bill. Stick to the facts. If your legislators or their aides disagree, listen carefully to determine their real objection. Explore disagreements but don't argue. If they ask a question you can't answer, offer to find out and call back. Ask your legislators if they will work and vote for (or against) the bill. Close with a thank you.
How to Participate in a Legislative Committee Hearing
Hearings are held to provide information and perspective on pending legislation for legislators and for the public record. Your attendance is very important, whether you speak or not. You can simply register for or against the bill on a form provided at the hearing. The following suggestions are for people who want to testify at a hearing.
- Learn as much as you can about the bill as soon as it is introduced. You can get a copy from your legislator or through the Legislative Hotline (800-362-9472; in Madison, 266-9960) or from the Documents Room (608-266-2400) or from the Wisconsin Legislature's web site. Find out the name(s) of the committee(s) that are holding the hearing. Legislator's web sites have helpful information on their backgrounds, including their occupations, volunteer work, affiliations, interests, and the geographical area they represent.
- Contact your WPA Regional Coordinator and other homeschoolers for their ideas. Find out who else is testifying and coordinate the subjects each of you will cover or select a few representatives from your group to testify. Review your draft testimony with others.
- Verify the date, time, and place the hearing will be held by calling the Legislative Hotline.
- When you arrive at the hearing, fill out a registration form indicating that you are speaking or registering "for" (if you support the bill), "against" (if you oppose it), or "for information only" (if you will be providing testimony and will not take a position either for or against the bill).
- Address the chairperson and committee members as "Mr./Ms./Mrs./Miss Chairperson and Members of the Committee." Thank them for holding the hearing and for the privilege of speaking. Be polite and respectful. Make your points briefly but with enough detail and emphasis to be understood and remembered. Time limits for speakers will be determined by the number of people who want to speak and the length of the hearing. Plan to speak for three to five minutes, but be prepared to shorten your presentation if requested.
- State that you are speaking for yourself only, unless you have been explicitly authorized to speak for a support group or another organization. Being a member of an organization such as WPA does not authorize you to speak for that organization or to claim to represent it. To promote unity among homeschoolers and to help ensure that unnecessary changes are not made in the current homeschooling law, avoid highlighting either your personal "credentials" (degrees, teacher certification, etc.) or your use of standardized tests or other standards of acceptability related to public schools. Such references may lead committee members to conclude that all homeschoolers should have these credentials or follow these practices and/or that homeschoolers would not object to the state's requiring such credentials or practices.
- Be prepared to answer questions from committee members and to respond to testimony from speakers who disagree with you and are critical of homeschooling. It may help you prepare for such questions to talk with other homeschoolers and read this book.
- Since hearings are public meetings, the information you give, including answers to questions, becomes a matter of record and may be used by the committee and others in developing a position on an issue. Therefore, it is a good idea to give a written copy of your testimony to the chairperson before or after your presentation and also to keep a copy for your records. It may prove useful if your testimony later becomes a matter of debate or is forgotten or not used. Include on the written copy the name of the committee holding the hearing; the bill number and topic; the date, time, and location of the hearing; and your name and contact information.

Perryton 28
Dalhart 26
With a playoff berth on the line in District 1-3A, Perryton didn't mess around with worrying about what the other teams in the district were doing. The Rangers simply went out and scored a surprising win over Dalhart, which was previously unbeaten in district play, to clinch a postseason spot. Cole Whittenburg ran for two touchdowns and caught a third for Perryton, which tied Dalhart for the district title at 3-1. The difference in the game turned out to be a missed extra point by Dalhart after a second quarter touchdown as well as a missed two-point conversion after a score later in the quarter.
Bushland 38
Childress 21
It was a winner take all game in District 1-2A Division I when Bushland hosted Childress, and the host Falcons took home the district's No. 3 seed with the win. Junior quarterback Taylor Cornelius continued to lead Bushland's offense, completing 30 of 51 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns, as the Falcons completed a turnaround after losing six games in a row, including the first two district games. Childress had a more negative turnarond, as the Bobcats lost three straight district games to close the season after winning their first two.
Claude 21
Vega 12
In what was essentially a seeding game played Thursday night, Claude beat Vega to take the No. 2 seed out of District 2-1A Division II while Vega settled for the No. 3 seed. Claude's Zack Johnson caught five passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns, including a 53-yard score from Seth Skarke in the thrid quarter which gave the Mustangs the lead for good. It was Claude's defense which was a real key to victory, though, as the Mustangs held Vega to 197 yards of total offense.
Booker 28
Shamrock 19
Booker survived a scare against Shamrock to clinch the No. 2 spot in the playoffs out of District 1-1A Division II. As has generally been the case the alst two seasons, sophomore quarterback Hunter Lile led the way for Booker, completing 22 of 43 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Jared Reagan. The second score in the fourth quarter gave the Kiowas a comfortable two-score margin as Shamrock finished winless in district play.
Sunray 50
Panhandle 32
This game determined a playoff seeding as Sunray outlasted Panhandle to claim the No. 2 seed from District 1-1A Division I and Panhandle took the No. 3 seed. Sunray had two runners gain 212 yards, as quarterback Christian Axelsen ran for a touchdown on 27 carries and Alexis Mendoza ran for four scores on 28 carries. Panhandle's Tyler Hall threw for 233 yards and four touchdowns while Travis Hammer had five catches for 165 yards and three touchdowns.
Borger 24
River Road 3
Needing a win to make the playoffs out of District 1-3A despite a 1-8 start, Borger took care of business on the road to beat River Road and reach the postseason with the No. 3 seed. Kendrick Freeman and Dontrae Butler both went over the 1,000-yard mark on the season in the game with each scoring a touchdown. With Borger and Perryton both winning, that eliminated Pampa, which had the district's open date.

Apricot is a flavor often associated with the warm days of summer, but Pyramid Apricot Ale can be enjoyed year-round. This aromatic unfiltered fruit beer has a distinctive aroma of fresh apricot, and is made with 50 per cent 2 Row Pale Barley and 50 per cent Malted Wheat, resulting in a smooth and malty wheat finish. The use of the assertive Nugget hops allows for a hoppy character and a proper balance between bitter and sweet. Capturing the essence of apricot, this highly carbonated brew is refreshing and very flavorful. While distinctively fruity, it's not overbearing. It has been a standard for the Pyramid brewery, the pioneers of wheat beers, since it was first introduced in 1994. This brew will make a good companion for appetizers, salads and desserts.
Price: $1.40 (12 oz.)

The NBA draft lottery slotted the Suns fifth in the selection order, assuring they will not get a chance to pick Nerlens Noel without a trade.
But they could take the center who dominated Noel to start the past college season.
Maryland's Alex Len, whose freshman year was slowed by a language barrier and a 10-game suspension, opened his sophomore season with a 23-point, 12-rebound, four-block game against Noel and Kentucky in a loss. The Ukrainian did not regularly post such lines in averaging 11.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks but his youth (he turns 20 next month), size (7 feet 1 and 255 pounds with room to grow) and athleticism make him at least a lottery candidate, if not an option for the Suns at No. 5.
"I have the biggest upside in this draft with the big guys," Len said at last week's draft combine. "I think maybe 10 years from now I'll be the best player out of this draft."
Len is either confident or still grasping English, which he learned as a freshman when Maryland kept him from doing interviews.
Like Noel, Len could not participate in the combine due to injury. Two weeks after declaring his draft eligibility, an MRI showed that Len had a partial stress fracture in his left ankle that he played with because he said doctors diagnosed it as a bone spur.
Len moved into a walking boot last week and said he has a four- to six-month recovery ahead. That will work against a player who could have solidified top-10 status by displaying his speed and agility.
"I was trying to be proactive," Len said. "I didn't really have to do the surgery but the doctors told me it was going to help me in the long run."
An early injury to a big man's feet or ankles is a caution light, but Len is fairly new to basketball. He grew up in gymnastics because he was a Jackie Chan fan and developed a specialty on the parallel bars until he outgrew them. At 13, his school's basketball coach told him he needed to join his team. Len went to the court, picked up a ball, made his first shot and decided it was meant to be.
Len's background, including a mother who competed in track, has made him look like a mobile big man, but his role models are more fundamental — Tim Duncan and Roy Hibbert.
Len purports to have an offensive touch and he believes that it will develop more in the NBA than it could have at Maryland. Until then, he said he can impact a team instantly as an active defender and rebounder.
"Coach (Mark) Turgeon is a defensive-minded coach," Len said. "All he wanted me to do was just guard and help the team on defense. He didn't really care how I played on offense. I just did my role.
"When I get stronger, it's just going to take me to another level and I'll just become a sleeper player."
The Suns will interview Houston assistant coach J.B. Bickerstaff on Friday and have permission from the Los Angeles Lakers to talk to their assistant, Steve Clifford, a source said in confirming a Yahoo! report.
The Suns also expect to interview Utah assistant Jeff Hornacek, an ex-Sun who lives in the Valley, and Quin Snyder, who resigned at Missouri amid an NCAA probation in 2006 and turned to a pro career as a D-League coach, NBA assistant and currently CSKA Moscow's assistant.
Bickerstaff became the NBA's youngest assistant at age 25 when he joined his father, Bernie, on the Charlotte staff in 2004. He also worked in Minnesota before joining Houston in 2011.
Clifford is a 12-year NBA assistant with stops in New York, Houston, Orlando and Los Angeles after coaching in college, including four years as Adelphi's head coach.
Hornacek, a Suns head coach candidate in 2008, has been part of Utah's staff since 2007 and became a full-time Jazz assistant in 2011.
All four candidates are involved in some of the other six NBA head-coach searches.

Hey everyone I'm Koopaul and I too love turtles.
I have a great Red Eared Slider named Rush. I've had him (actually a her) for 16 years now! We only recently discovered Rush was a female so my family and I still refer to it as a male out of habit.
Rush is great! He eats right out of your hand and recognizes everyone's face. Shy to strangers, if you see him a lot he'll eventually remember you and warm up to you. He climbs up on his island when you approach the tank, it's very cute! I got him as a present for my 8th birthday, and we've been good friends ever since.
Yup I wouldn't trade Rush for any pet, we grew up together!
So yeah that's my turtle and I hope to hear about your turtle stories in the future.
Newcomer, long time turtle owner.
