Sexual Respect & Violence Prevention
Whatever the role tobacco plays in your life, the Health and Wellness Hub is here to help you navigate through any tobacco related issue; including any questions related to UND's tobacco free policy, quit tobacco resources, tobacco prevention information, and other campus resources. Contact us at 701-777-2097 or by e-mail, email@example.com. Please visit our website, UND.edu/tobaccofree, for information on UND's tobacco free policy and quit tobacco resources.
What You Should Know About Tobacco
Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable and premature death, killing an estimated 443,000 Americans each year- more than alcohol, illegal drug use, homicide, suicide, car accidents, and AIDS combined. Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ of the body and diminishes a person's overall health. It has been conclusively linked to cataracts and pneumonia, and accounts for about one-third of all cancer deaths. Foremost among the cancers caused by tobacco use is lung cancer— however, smoking is also associated with cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, cervix, kidney, bladder, and acute myeloid leukemia. In addition to cancer, smoking causes lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It has also been well documented that smoking substantially increases the risk of heart disease, including stroke, heart attack, vascular disease, and aneurysm.
Although we often think of medical consequences that result from direct use of tobacco products, passive or secondary smoke also increases the risk of many diseases. The 2006 U.S. Surgeon General's Report states that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Breathing secondhand smoke even for a short time can be harmful and set processes in motion such as cancer, heart disease or respiratory conditions.
Cigarettes are not the only dangerous form of tobacco. Smokeless tobacco, a blanket term that refers to a number of tobacco products that are used by means other than smoking,causes a multitude of health problems. Examples of smokeless tobacco include dipping tobacco, chewing tobacco, and snuff and can cause permanent gum recession, mouth sores, precancerous lesions in the mouth, and cancers of the mouth and throat.
Tobacco's Toll on North Dakota
North Dakota is certainly no exception to the dangerous impact tobacco has on the health and well-being of its victims. In fact, tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death and disability in North Dakota, killing 877 residents annually. 600 North Dakotan kids under 18 become new daily smokers each year.
Tobacco use in North Dakota also has a significant economic impact. Annual healthcare costs caused by smoking are $250 million. Smoking-related productivity losses equal $192 million. In summary, North Dakota brings in less than $21 million in revenue annually from cigarette taxes, yet pays out $442 million in direct medical and lost productivity expenditures related to smoking.
According to Breathe ND, the most basic fact is simple: reducing the number of people who smoke or are exposed to secondhand smoke saves money and lives.
UND's Tobacco Policies
To provide a healthy working and learning environment, UND is a tobacco free campus. Please visit our UND Tobacco Free website for information on UND's tobacco free policy, quit tobacco resources, and compliance issues.
Map of UND's Tobacco-Free Campus
If you choose to be tobacco free, you are in good company. According to the UND 2014 ACHA NCHA (American College Health Association- National College Health Assessment), 90.3% of UND students did not use cigarettes during the 30 days prior to the survey. Rates for cigars, tobacco from water pipe (Hookah), and smokeless tobacco are even lower. If you'd like more information, you can access the executive summary by visiting the Healthy UND website, under the student data tab.
Health Disparities in Tobacco Use
Tobacco use among some population groups in North Dakota can be significantly higher than for the general population. Because many of these groups have fewer resources and decreased access to health care, they are at a higher risk for tobacco-related death and disease.
High-risk populations at UND may include, but are not limited to, international students from countries with high tobacco use rates, blue collar workers, American Indians, members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community, and student athletes.
Possible contributing factors to higher prevalence of tobacco use among the disparate populations includes stress and discrimination related to racism and heterosexism, the tobacco industry's targeted marketing to consumers including the LGBT community and American Indians, and lack of access to culturally appropriate tobacco treatment programs.
Multiple quit tobacco resources exist, tailored to disparate populations at high risk of tobacco. Specifically, NDQuits, the primary quit tobacco resource for UND students and official resource for the North Dakota Department of Health, provides comprehensive assessments, including cultural information, to individualize each participant's treatment plan. NDQuits also offers language translations services for multiple languages. Other resources include the National LGBT Tobacco Control Network (http://lgbttobacco.org/index.php) and Keep it Sacred, both dedicated to identifying and eliminating health disparities related to commercial tobacco abuse among the LGBT community and American Indians, respectively.
While UND advocates for health equity, there is work being done on the state level as well. In 2006, a strategic plan was established to identify and eliminate tobacco-related disparities. A report about the plan, North Dakota's Strategic Plan for the Identification and Elimination of Tobacco-Related Disparities, can be found at http://www.ndhealth.gov/tobacco/Reports.htm.
Quit Tobacco Tips
Five Keys for Quitting
1. Get Ready
- Set a quit date
- Change your environment
- Review your past attempts to quit. Think about what worked and what did not.
2. Get Support and Encouragement
- Tell your family, friends, and coworkers that you are going to quit and want their support. Ask them not to smoke around you or leave cigarettes out.
- Talk to your healthcare provider
- Seek professional help in the area of tobacco dependence from such resources as NDQuits
3. Learn New Skills and Behaviors
- Try to distract yourself from urges to smoke. Talk to someone, go for a walk, or get busy with a task.
- When you first quit, change your routine. Use a different route to work. Drink tea instead of coffee.
- Do something to reduce your stress. Take a hot bath, exercise, or read a book.
- Plan something enjoyable to do each day.
4. Get Medication and Use it Correctly
- Medications can help you stop smoking and lessen the urge to smoke. Call NDQuits or make an appointment with Student Health for more information on medications to help you quit smoking.
5. Be Prepared for Relapse or Difficult Situations
- Most relapses occur within the first 3 months after quitting. Don't be discouraged if you start smoking again. Remember, most people try several times before they finally quit. Here are some difficult situations to watch for:
- Alcohol – drinking alcohol lowers your chances of success
- Other smokers – being around smoking can make you want to smoke
- Weight gain – many smokers will gain weight when they quit, usually less than 10 pounds. Eat a healthy diet and stay active. Don't let weight gain distract you from your main goal – quitting smoking. Some quit-smoking medications may help delay weight gain.
- Bad mood or depression – there are a lot of ways to improve your mood other than smoking

Digital District: Local News and Online Media Access in Washington
New America Foundation
Wednesday, July 28, 2010
5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
In recent years neighborhood blogs, local online news portals and aggregators, social media applications, and community media centers have all expanded the sources of local information available to communities while simultaneously inviting the public to play a more active role in sharing and producing the news. With its distinctive and diverse neighborhoods, Washington, D.C., is a microcosm for examining new approaches to media production and digital access and their potential for changing the way communities engage with their neighbors and representatives.
Panelists will consider new approaches to:
- covering news at the hyperlocal level,
- encouraging civic engagement in communities, and
- bridging the digital divide.
After the panel discussion, attendees are invited to a reception to meet the inaugural class of Public Media Corps fellows and hear about the projects they are beginning to promote broadband adoption through technology and media production training at high schools, public broadcast stations, and non-profit community anchor institutions in Columbia Heights and Anacostia.

By Jess Myers
The weather almanac – that table that records the time of sunrise and sunset every day – will tell you that Dec. 21, is the darkest day of the year. And in this part of the world, it's often one of the coldest as well.
But for the hockey community in Inver Grove Heights, Dec. 21, 2011, seemed colder and darker than they could ever imagine. That was they day that, after a two-year battle with cancer, their friend and neighbor Kevin Roche slipped quietly from this world, leaving a hole in many hearts.
Just 41 at the time of his passing, Roche's smile had been, for years, as common a sight at the local hockey rink as a puck or a net or a Zamboni. When the diagnosis grounded him from his career as an airline pilot, he'd thrown his free time and efforts into one of his other loves – youth hockey – serving on the IGH Hockey Association's board of directors, running the arena's concession stand, helping his two children get the most out of their time on the ice, and working each winter to create a top-notch place to skate in their backyard, known throughout the community as the Roche Rink.
A few days after Christmas last year, an overflow crowd packed Good Shepherd Lutheran Church to say goodbye. So many airline pilot friends, in full uniform, filled the sanctuary that dozens of chairs had to be set up in the narthex, and the running joke was that countless planes must be sitting grounded at MSP, for lack of anyone to fly them. When the ceremony ended, and his family filed out, they were greeted by several teams of youth hockey players from the community, all wearing their red, white and blue IGH sweaters, and holding their sticks aloft in a salute to their lost friend.
Kevin and his wife of 16 years, Wendy, had met as students at the University of North Dakota. She studied to be a teacher, while he majored in aviation. When they were blessed with children – son Kyle and daughter Sofia – they became hockey parents. And one of Kevin's great joys was spending time at the rink.
As a member of the association board during a time of high unemployment and economic challenges, Kevin had seen first-hand the unpaid bills from families that had struggled due to a variety of factors to afford their children's hockey fees. With the many financial gifts they received from friends when Kevin passed away, Wendy determined that a fund to help families in need pay for hockey would be the perfect way to remember and honor him.
"So many people have been kind to us throughout this that I felt this would be a good way to pay it forward," said Wendy, sitting in the lobby of Veterans Memorial Community Center in IGH recently, while waiting for one of the kids to emerge from the locker room after practice. "I thought there were probably other families that were struggling with paying for hockey fees. Kevin was a strong believer in keeping kids on the rink, so I thought this would be a good way to fuse all of those things together."
The Kevin Roche Memorial Assistance Fund was established over the summer, and while registering for hockey in IGH, families in need were encouraged to apply for a grant to help defray the cost of ice time for the season.
"We helped four families this year," said Wendy, who teaches elementary school. "That feels very good. I don't know all of them, and that's OK. We're really big about confidentiality, but they all have reasons why they needed support."
The initial donations, made both on the IGH Hockey Association web site (www.ighha.org) and to the account set up at Wells Fargo Bank, will sustain the fund for the first three years. Beyond that, the Roche family is hopeful that others will step up with on-going donations to ensure that the fund in Kevin's name lives on and keeps providing fiscal assistance.
Throughout Kevin's battle with cancer, and over the course of the past year, the Roche family has seen an outpouring of support, including a gentleman from an arena supply company that read about Kevin's passing, then stopped by the Roche Rink and set up full boards, free of charge. Wendy acknowledges that without Kevin's meticulous and exacting upkeep, the rink is not what it once was, but it will still be a place for fun this winter, and another great memory of him will endure.
"We still have the rink, but it's not in as good shape as when Kevin was in charge of it," Wendy said. "It might be in bad shape this year, but it will still be usable, eventually. But it's still Roche Rink, and everybody is welcome at Roche Rink."

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Beer Talk' started by Providence, Feb 8, 2013.
MA only.
First, buy this book.
Next, actually go to Germany.
After that, visit the Englischer Garten in Munich (it's in the book). Their Biergarten are the best because you can start at one end and work your way to the next, hitting 4 different Garten along the way. You'll find that the majority of these stops are stand-alone kiosks with cafeteria-like service: walk thru the kiosk, ask for your beer, pay the cost and the deposit on the Krug, sit and enjoy.
Thanks. So much for that.
Damn, that sounds good!
Meet me at Doherty's in Pawyucket next week and I will bring a couple bottles.
That sounds good man, I'll touch base with you during the week.
No problem, I head back to Boston on Friday so any other night.
That was one of the coolest experiences in Germany. I wish Boston would replace one of it's 124 Irish pubs with some outdoor beer gardens for the summer, and indoor beer halls (thanks Harpoon!).
Lagers are overrated
They just released a Rye Biere de Garde as their new seasonal. Looking forward to that one.
Damn, I was thinking Friday, ha ha. Ok, let me check the schedule and I will let you know...
Tremendous weak sauce right here.
I've never seen someone so butthurt over the fact that once again, 'Merica took something that Europe did well and made it better. We are back-to-back World War champs after all!
America, or this one particular beer? I'd say that in the aggregate HerrBurgess is correct about the state of lagers over here.
Me, I'll reserve judgement on Jack's Abby until I can get some. I have no problem with the concept as long as the execution is well done.
It all " Depends".
I personally dislike lagers. Those who apprriciate them more for you I guess they all taste like watered down corn syrup to me.
Cheers !
If anyone is ever in the market for some Jack's Abby stuff, shoot me a message and I will gladly trade it out. It"s great stuff, hyper local (to me), and I love sharing local for local stuff. I might even be able to make a stop by the brewery on occasion for a fresh growler fill. I also make almost monthly trips to Narragansett, RI and would gladly bring some down for an IP swap thing on my way down.
All of them? What about aecht schlenkerla rauchbier? No way that tastes like water!
Embrace your inner lager lover. Do it!
Better? I'm not so sure about that. Jack's Abby certainly made pale lagers DIFFERENT by adding more hops. I really dig what they're doing by the way, I definitely enjoy their beers. But they didn't exactly reinvent the wheel (lager). They didn't make a wheel at all, they put wings on the car and now it flies. And who doesn't enjoy flying?
"Jack's Abby certainly made pale lagers DIFFERENT by adding more hops. I really dig what they're doing by the way, I definitely enjoy their beers."
Good to hear! That is great input!!
Based on your quotation earlier, and from previous posts, I assume you dig hoppier lagers (like Jever)? If you haven't already, you should definitely check out Jack's Abby, they most certainly make some great beers. Ironically they still haven't made a pilsner. They're an all lager brewery with an extensive list of beers, so it is a bit surprising.
I would very much like to try Jack's Abby American Pale Lager beers. You may already know this but in the BA American Pale Lager category, Hoponious Union is No. 1 and Jabby Brau is No. 2. I have not had a lot of beers that are of the American Pale Lager category but I did enjoy drinking:
· Brotherly Suds (BS2) which is rated No. 16
· Bell's Quinannan Falls
P.S. I do not know much about Jack's Abby but I am not too surprised that they don't brew a Pilsner. It seems to me that they are trying to do 'different' things there and I applaud their efforts to march to the beat of a different drummer!
Maibock Hurts Like Helles(Maibock/Helles Bock), Fire in the Ham(Rauchbier), Smoke and Dagger(Rauchbier), Saxonator(Doppelbock) and Copper Legend(Marzen) are there most traditional brews and are done to style. No Pilsner yet, but I wouldn't be surprised to see one at some point.
Thanks for that reply! As I mentioned in my prior post: "I do not know much about Jack's Abby …"
It appears that only Smoke and Dagger(Rauchbier) is the only year round beer of the five you listed, is that correct?
Since you seemed very well informed about Jack's Abby, has there been any discussion about them distributing outside of Massachusetts? It is very challenging to appreciate the beers from a brewery that is only distributed in its home state.
Smoke and Dagger is the only year round of those listed. They recently expanded the brewhouse by 80% by adding 2 80 BBL tanks and one more 40 BBL tank, which will help them make more specialty beers like the upcoming collaborations with Lawson's and DC Brau. At this time no plans to distribute out of state except maybe some draft to other NE states, they can hardly meet the demand here.
Is Smoke and Dagger really a traditional Rauchbier? I'd call it more of a black lager/smoked porter hybrid.
Lashes was delicious (released last fall). It might be my favorite beer from them. The Baltic Porter should be out soon too.
It would appear that Jack's Abby agrees with you:
"Smoke & Dagger
Cloaked in mystery, this dark black beer skirts the line between a schwarzbier and smoked porter. The use of a small percentage of traditional Beechwood smoked malt adds complexity and balances the liberal use of chocolate malt. Notes of roasted grains, beechwood smoke, and coffee accompany a full bodied-and sweet chocolately malt character. Smoke & Dagger uses locally grown unmalted barley from MA.
OG 14.5 Plato / IBUs 25 / ABV 5.8%"
I have to say that I salivated when I read this description! Jack's Abby sounds like a very innovative brewery to me!!
When I tell people about SnD, I generally call it a smoked Shwartzbier of sorts. It gets the point across.
And I agree, Lashes might be my favorite. That or RIPLeffect.
I'll add as well that I'm still buying Lashes and it's holding up miraculously. No that it hasn't faded a touch but it's really sturdy. I buy one on my way home from work 2-3 times a week. HU I find to make it five weeks before I start noticing any significant fade. Not sure when RIPL was released but it's really sturdy as well.
Wow! Lashes reads really tasty too!
This hopbock lager balances an assertive Munich Malt character with an infusion of Super Styrian, Columbus, Palisades and Centennial hops. It's full-bodied and malty with a hop aroma that's earthy and piney. Definitely an enjoyable beer for New England's cold winter days.
OG 17 / IBUs 50 / Alc. 7.2% by Vol."
That is an interesting combination of hops!!
Drive up to Framingham some Saturday afternoon and check out the brewery. They sell bottles and growlers. They always have some interesting brewery-only releases too. They just had a BA doppelbock, but I'm not sure what they have right now. Tastings are free.
I agree Lashes can probably hold up for a bit. The nose on it is killer which is why I loved it so much. RIPL was probably made around September. I believe it says on the label.
It should say on ther label, the bottles sold as singles say on the label and the 4 packs say on the carton.
Which is one reason it's annoying that stores break up the 4-packs and sell bottles individually.
Smoke and Dagger is definitely not a traditional rauchbier and I wouldn't consider Copper Legend a world class traditional Marzen/Oktoberfest but that Jabby Brau sure did taste good after shoveling 5ft snowbanks all day !
I agree with that but I haven't seen Hoponius, Jabby Brau or Smoke and Dagger in singles lately.
"Smoke and Dagger is definitely not a traditional rauchbier and I wouldn't consider Copper Legend a world class traditional Marzen/Oktoberfest …" Please don't confuse me with herrburgess; I love him like a brother but he and I have very different tastes in beers, he has what I term "exceptional taste" while I am very happy to drink tasty beers regardless of whether they are brewed in a "traditional" manner. That Smoke and Dagger sounds like a very, very tasty beer to me. I am 99.99% sure I would like it and the fact that it is not "traditional" makes no never mind to me!
" ..that Jabby Brau sure did taste good …" I gotta tell you but the more I read (and hear) about Jack's Abby beers the more I think they are a tasty brewery. If I ever make it to Massachusetts I plan on drinking as many Jack's Abby beers as I can get my hands on!!
P.S. I hope that your back is feeling OK after the shoveling. It sounds like New England got walloped by Nemo (why they are naming winter storms is a mystery to me!).
My tastes lean toward the expansive as well but I guess it says something that I going back to Jacks Abby. I'm drinking a Smoke and Dagger now and the description is spot on - Schwarzbier with a hint of rauchmalt...my favorite offering I've had (Jabby, Copper Legend, and Hoponius).
P.S. It's hard to tell with the drifts but we got in the ballpark of 20"...nothing a few pulls of Wild Cherry Brandy can't fix (which compliments the smoky S&D nicely BTW). If they're going to name storms it should be more like Winter Storm Odin, Ivan Drago, or something IMO...
I think it's less common but was seen a lot when they first hit shelves. I found singles of HU at Social wine last night.
"Schwarzbier with a hint of rauchmalt", that's just gotta be tasty!
I recently homebrewed a Northern English Brown Ale which I augmented with 1 lb. of Weyermann Smoked Malt. Needless to say but this beer was no longer a "traditional" Northern English Brown Ale; my 'answer' to that is: so what!?! That Smoked Brown Ale was truly tasty! IMHO, that is what the appreciation of beer is all about: drinking tasty beer that you enjoy!
P.S. Scott, I used five exclamation marks, whatcha think about that!?! Oh, it is now seven exclamation marks.

Feds indict local man
January 23, 2014
CLARKSBURG — A Buckhannon man who Upshur County sheriff's deputies arrested on charges of selling marijuana in October is now facing federal drug trafficking charges, court records show....
Studies show that marijuana smoke does not harm the lungs like cigarette smoke does do some research. Because even if someone told you the truth you still wouldn't believe it

Children can't legally purchase alchohol or tobacco for the same reason they can't purchase legally in Colorado or Washington I'm not saying everyone should smoke pot but you should not lock someone up and throw away the key for a plant which has less of an effect on judgement than alchohol bottom line is the punishment is worse than the crime lock soneone up for smoking a joint and then they lose their job and their house so which is worse smoking a joint or losing every thing that you have because of some antiquated laws which say that marijuana is a class 1 controlled substance which is worse than cocaine

There are approximately 88,000 deaths attributable to excessive alcohol use each year in the United States.1 This makes excessive alcohol use the 3r d leading lifestyle-related cause of death for the nation.2 Excessive alcohol use is responsible for 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) annually, or an average of about 30 years of potential life lost for each death.1 In 2006, there were more than 1.2 million emergency room visits and 2.7 million physician office visits due to excessive drinking.3 The economic costs of excessive alcohol consumption in 2006 were estimated at $223.5 billion.3

Give me one good reason why alcohol is legal but marijuana is not. Seriously just one good reason. Tell me just one good reason that alcohol is legal to purchase and drink in a bar or in your own private home or in your buddies house watching football or whatever. Why is that ? Huh I guess that's the conservatives right? Makes no sense

What a waste of time and money, just legalize it already. It's already legal in two states with more voting on it this year. I could see if it was meth or pills or crack or something. And those who say it leads to harder drugs BS no proof, if anything alcohol leads to harder stuff, and unwanted pregnancies. I know police officers, doctors, and successfull bussinessmen who either use or have used marijuna.

WAILUKU - A man who claimed he was defending himself from an angry group of tourists was found guilty of trying to extort money from them and assaulting one man with a rake during a confrontation in the Twin Falls area of Haiku last year.
A 2nd Circuit Court jury returned verdicts Tuesday, finding Jesse A. Nakooka, 37, of Haiku guilty of the lesser charge of third-degree attempted extortion, as well as second-degree assault, third-degree assault by mutual affray and third-degree assault.
He was found not guilty of harassment of one of the visitors, a cancer patient who testified she was shoved to the ground by Nakooka.
"This case is not complicated," Deputy Prosecutor Jerrie Sheppard told jurors during closing arguments Monday. "In fact, it boils down to just one word, and that word is greed."
The incident unfolded after a group of tourists from California returned from a 45-minute midday hike July 1, 2012, and found Nakooka's chicken stand blocking in their car. Nakooka demanded $20 for parking on his land, the tourists said.
After Kalazetta Weaver gave $20 to Nakooka, he told her to "get your car out if you can," Sheppard said.
She said Nakooka didn't know that Weaver's boyfriend, Riverside resident Nicholas Nottingham, was a truck driver. He managed to maneuver the car out of the tight spot. That's when Nakooka moved a table in front of the car and put his children on the table while demanding an additional $60 - or $20 for each person in the group - the visitors testified.
Weaver testified that Nakooka told her she had three ways to leave - call a tow truck, call 911 or go home in a body bag. She began screaming, alerting others in the group of more than a dozen relatives and friends vacationing together.
Among them were Weaver's parents, Steven and Tammy Weaver.
She and her daughter moved the table out of the way and Tammy Weaver was about to move the car when Nakooka jumped on the hood, Sheppard said.
After stepping out of the car, Tammy Weaver - a recovering cancer patient - was shoved to the ground by Nakooka as he ran toward Nottingham, Sheppard said.
Nottingham testified his hat and glasses were knocked off when he was punched by Nakooka before others in the group grabbed him in a "bear hug."
Another friend drove the car out and Steven Weaver had told others to let go of Nakooka. That's when Nakooka punched Steven Weaver in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground, Sheppard said.
Nottingham said he was hit on the left side of his face and across his left chest with the rake held by Nakooka.
Nakooka threatened to kill Nottingham, he said, and held the sharp broken part of a rake handle like a spear as he ran toward people in the group.
Instead of continuing on to Hana as they had planned, the tourists drove their vehicles to Paia, where they reported what happened at the fire station.
Ramana Sawyer, who was working at a nearby farm stand, also called police after hearing yelling from a number of people and seeing Nakooka "surrounded by a group of five to six people that are angry or aggressive," Deputy Public Defender Annalisa Bernard said in her closing arguments.
"He sees Jesse holding a stick in self-defense," she said.
Nakooka was outnumbered by younger, athletic men in the tourist group, Bernard said. "Everyone's in his face, yelling at him," she said. "If Jesse feels he needs to defend himself and his family, that's perfectly fine."
After the tourists left, Nakooka flagged down arriving police officers and gave them the license plate number of the visitors' car, Bernard said.
She said police found Nakooka with 11 $20 bills because his wife gave him the money from the business cash register to use for bail when she realized he might be arrested.
Nakooka, who is free on bail, is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 14.
Judge Joseph Cardoza presided over the trial.

Bandai Namco Officially Announces Tales of Graces, VS. At Tokyo Conference
Namco confirms leaked details about its Wii and PSP games.
Screens of Tales of Graces for Wii and Tales of VS for PSP may have leaked several days ago via advance copies of Shonen Jump, but neither game officially existed until yesterday. On Monday, April 6, Bandai Namco held a gala press conference at their Tokyo HQ to debut Graces and VS, as well as a significantly enhanced port of Vesperia for PlayStation 3.
Bandai Namco COO Shin Unozawa opened the event with a speech outlining his company's strategy for mid-2009. Under the pithy motto "Change the Entertainment", Unozawa pointed to cross-promotion efforts expanding the market, citing his own middle school-age niece's fondness for the Tales of the Abyss anime.
Next up was Tales general producer Makoto Yoshizumi, who rehashed last year's series releases and introduced the Tales "theme" for 2009: "Expansion". Apparently, this will mean "applying the Tales division's knowhow towards new content development and challenges". Sure, Makoto old pal. Let's see the games, huh?
And so we did: Producer Hideo Baba stepped out to introduce his latest baby, Tales of Graces for Wii. With great fanfare, its idiosyncratic "genre" was revealed to a hushed crowd: "Mamoru tsuyosa wo shiru RPG", or "The RPG In Which You Come To Know The Power To Protect". (Just in case you're wondering, every Tales has a similarly delicious genre name in Japan.)
To be released in Winter, Graces will feature character designs from the ever-reliable Mutsumi Inomata, and animation by Production I.G. More impressive, however, was Baba's promise to deliver a completely seamless world, with the field, towns and dungeons as one continuous experience. Storied Tales battle system LMBS will also receive an upgrade, becoming "SS-LMBS": Style Shift Linear Motion Battle System. Characters will be able to switch battle "styles" at will -- think Gen in Street Fighter IV. Baba used hero Asbel Lhant as an example, showing footage of the character fighting with and without his sword drawn. In closing, Baba reassured the press that Graces would indeed be playable with a Classic Controller -- no enforced waggle here.
Finally, producer Ryuji Oodate took the stage to debut Tales of VS. for PSP, the series' first fighting game. VS. will sport 35 (!) beloved characters, though only four were revealed at the conference -- Yuri from Vesperia, Luke from Abyss, Shing from Hearts, and Richter from Symphonia: DotNW. Due this summer, VS. will merge fierce, wireless 4-player Smash Bros. style battles with an elaborate, Dissidia-esque story mode.

Get out of here with the idiotic Jap-bashingPosted: Aug 11, 2009 12:00AM PST by Tenza
Seriously sick of people bashing Tales over dumb shit like art style. Anime/manga is one of Japan's key art styles. Get over it morons because that's just the way it is. They show full length ANIME movies in theatres all over Japan. It's a part of their culture. If you don't like it then don't buy the game; but don't sit here and say that one of their main art styles is "whored"... That just makes you look stupid. What, are they supposed to change the art style of the series just because you don't like it? I bet you'd love if the main character of Graces was drawn to look like something from Spongebob or Doug though, right? And I don't even NEED to defend the gameplay in the Tales series... a storyless Tales game where all you do is back to back battles would be more fun than the slow-paced, turn-based, depthless, garbage RPGs that exist all over PS2 & 3 these days.
Oh, that figures, you like Dragon QuestPosted: Apr 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by bshirk
I guess you prefer games where the story is almost non-existent and where you fight repetitive random battles against lame enemies over and over. That was considered acceptable back in 1987, but the times have changed.
Hey SharkmanPosted: Apr 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by bshirk
Some of us aren't so judgmental and don't play things based on exterior appearance. For one, I'm not a fan of anime and I don't like the feminine males in some RPGs. However, a person that goes deeper will find that Tales games usually have a great story that is connected in many ways to the real world, and the games usually have great character development and interactions. Sure, there are usually a couple annoying characters (Miu in ToA), but there are usually plenty of likeable characters too.
I'm not going to cover every Tales game here, but some of their plots tackle subjects most games shy away from. Tales of Symphonia had a great take on racism and the damage it does to society. It had two different races and a mixed race, and it showed the idiocy of racism and the havoc it can cause. ToS portrayed things from both sides, and also had an interesting tale becase *SPOILER because someone who was mixed race and was once the hero of the two worlds thousands of years ago built a safe haven for his people but exacted revenge on everyone later because of the poor treatment half-elves received. *END OF SPOILER. The plot wasn't perfect, and initially it copied FFX to some degree, but it was a moving story even if certain characters were annoying (Colette).
Now, I would say that Tales of the Abyss had an even better story. It featured a main character who was wealthy and only concerned about himself, but I loved seeing the changes he made throughout the adventure. I've played very few games where the character's personality has changed that much over the course of the story. I also really liked how the game covered controversial subjects such as the use of religion to control people, whether science or religion is more valid or whether they both are to some degree, if cloning is ethical, whether or not it is right to exact revenge on a group of people who did terrible things to you, etc. All of these things are very real parts of the modern world, and some of them have been relevant throughout history. I know some people play games for escapism, but I love how Tales tackles this stuff, and you always feel good when you complete one of these games. It leaves people hope that the world can change even though there's terrible things happening out there (not like most suburban Americans would know but it's true).
Can't Wait!!Posted: Apr 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by zanarkands_lloyd14
I'm so excited, I hoe they have made some good improvements for ToG,
my favorite to date is still Tales of Symphonia, but the Tales games may
be my factor for finally getting a Wii.
(The Tales games aren't C quality...they're quite beautiful and the only
thing I really have a problem with is the corny lines and bad voice acting.
Other than that, I love the games) :D
If a Twilight Priness sequel is annouced too, I'll finally buy a WiiPosted: Apr 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by coolbreeze70056
Some of you don't like Tales games. To each his own, but if you're buying one, you know generally what to expect. So don't be offended if it plays...like a Tales game. I loved the tales formula being perfected in Vesperia, so if this new one is any good, I may actually buy a Wii?!
Oh freakin Hellz Yeah!Posted: Apr 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Jonathon_Striker
I'm real excited for a new RPG, AND for the Fighting game. I've been saying for awhile they should have RPG characters thrown into a fighting game and then came Dissidia, and now Vs. Can we have a Capcom moment now? Tales of Vs Final Fantasy (equivalent to Xmen vs. Street Fighter), and then NamcoBandai vs. Square Enix (see Marvel vs. Capcom)! I don't ask to drag it out, just for a temporary alliance to make a HUGE game.
Tales of GracesssPosted: Apr 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Jordan G
I can't wait for ToG. I just hope it comes out here. North America has been screwed over in the Tales department too many times to count.
I posted a blog on these announcements yesterday if anyone wants to go to my profile and check it out.
Nice, new Tales of Grace newsPosted: Apr 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by bshirk
So far so good. Since it's "continuous," I hope that means that means the game will play out as one big world unlike Symphonia 2 where there was a menu of locations to choose from. I'm hoping that travel will be more like Secret of Mana.

The great intervention and massive money injection: The Japanese experience 2003–2004
From the beginning of 2003 to the spring of 2004, Japan's monetary authorities conducted large-scale yen-selling/dollar-buying operations in what Taylor (2006) has labeled the "Great Intervention." This paper examines the relationship between this "Great Intervention" and the quantitative easing policy the Bank of Japan was pursuing at that time. First, we find that about 40 percent of the yen funds supplied to the market by yen-selling interventions were not offset by the BOJ's monetary operations and remained in the market for a while; this is in contrast with the preceding period, when almost 100 percent were immediately offset. Second, comparing interventions and other government payments, the extent to which the funds were offset was much smaller in the case of interventions, suggesting that the BOJ differentiated between, and responded differently to, interventions and other government payments. These two findings indicate that it is likely that the BOJ intentionally did not sterilize yen-selling interventions to achieve its policy target of maintaining the current account balances of commercial banks at the BOJ at a high level. Finally, we find that an unsterilized intervention had a greater impact on the yen–dollar rate than a sterilized one, suggesting that it matters whether an intervention is sterilized or not even when the economy is in a liquidity trap.

Powerful play 'The Laramie Project' opens April 24
For the conclusion of his second season as the Mercyhurst University Theatre program director, Brett Johnson selected "The Laramie Project," a compelling composite of a town torn apart by a horrific hate crime.
Created by Mois�s Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project, the play is drawn from more than 200 interviews with residents of Laramie, Wyo., in the wake of the ultimately fatal 1998 beating of 21-year-old gay student Matthew Shepard.
"It provides a forum for communities to engage in a dialogue about how we think and talk about homosexuality, sexual politics, education, class, violence, privileges and rights, and the difference between tolerance and acceptance," Johnson said.
The cast of 12 is made up of Taylor Bookmiller, Brianna Carle, Chelsee Cool, Tyler Drew, Chris Gaertner, Maxton Honeychurch, Kimberly Kuehl, Brandon Miller, Lauren Naples, Nam Nguyen, Matt Sprague and Bethany Sulecki. These actors portray more than 70 characters, including Laramie residents, Tectonic Theater Project members and reporters.
"Different characters are suggested through simple costume pieces as well as the actors' physical and vocal transformation," Johnson noted.
"One challenge of this piece is that the actors are sometimes required to portray characters whose world views differ, sometimes drastically, from their own, and to do so without judgment," he added.
"For example, one student plays the recently deceased Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church. At the beginning of act three, he's required to shout hate speech at those who are attending Matthew's funeral. That rehearsal, in particular, was difficult for everyone involved."
Johnson urged his cast to research their characters as much as possible through interviews, videos and photographs to assist in presenting an accurate portrayal. Meanwhile, assistant director Sarah Creighton shared background on the case and the varied perspectives weighing in on its aftermath. Watching interviews with Kaufman and Matthew's mother, Judy Shepard, also proved helpful.
"Our hope is to tell the story in a way that will set Laramie -- and the rest of us, given how Laramie is depicted as an Everytown, U.S.A. -- aright," said Johnson. "In depicting a painful past, we hope to envision a more compassionate future."

What: Shares of energy explorer EXCO Resources (NYSE: XCO ) fell 14% today after the company reported earnings.
So what: Third-quarter oil and natural gas revenue was up 16.7%, to $165.3 million, but the company lost $98.7 million, or $0.46 per share. Adjusted for one-time items, earnings were $0.04 per share, which was still below the $0.10 estimate from analysts.
Now what: One problem is that production was down 11%, to 455 Mmcfe per day, which was offset by higher energy prices. This is also the second straight quarter where results have missed estimates, and even adjusted earnings are trending downward. I'm going to stay away from the stock today and look for improved earnings in the future before jumping in.

Penne With Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 35 mins
Very simple, very yummy. This is my favorite kind of cooking...just a few quality ingredients that really compliment each other. Adapted from Paola di Mauro, but given to me by my dad who is a sophisticated foodie who also appreciates simple tastes.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs small cherry tomatoes or 2 lbs grape tomatoes, halved
- 1⁄3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese, plus more
- pecorino romano cheese, for serving
- 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs

- 2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup fresh basil, chopped (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Line bottom of a casserole dish with tomato halves in a single layer.
- Pour oil on top, season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle cheese and breadcrumbs on top.
- Bake until tomatoes have wilted, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil.
- Season with enough sea salt so that water is pretty salty.
- When tomatoes are just about done, add penne to water and cook until al dente.
- Scoop out a cup of the pasta water and reserve.
- Drain pasta and toss right into casserole and fold pasta into tomato mixture, adding 2-3 Tablespoons more olive oil, to coat.
- Taste, adjust seasoning, if it is dry, add some of the pasta water.
- Serve, passing more grated cheese at the table.
- I have added chopped fresh basil when tossing the pasta and really love the flavor it brings.

Oh, Liza...this is fabulous!! Very few ingredients, simple to prepare, great flavor. I added a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar - not because it was needed, but because I like balsamic vinegar with everything! This one is going in the favorites file. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic recipe!! Made this for lunch today and loved it. The method of roasting tomatoes takes this recipe to another level.
We enjoyed this pasta dish a lot. I used two pints of cherry tomatoes and a romano cheese blend for roasting. Also had italian bread crumbs on hand and kosher salt instead of sea salt. Tossed the penne and roasted tomatoes together and added freshly grated parmesan before serving. Didnt need to add any pasta water as it came together very nicely. Liza thank you for posting your recipe! Made and reviewed for Kathy and Liza's Cookathon 2008 in the Photo Forum.

The city of North Charleston is sinking millions of dollars into trying to revive the old Shipwatch Square shopping center that has been moribund for years.
Mayor Keith Summey acknowledges the risks and the unprecedented nature of the citys foray into the world of commercial real estate.
But he said the city had little choice but to take the reins after its 15 years working with private developers didnt pan out.
He said luring a grocery store and a mix of other activity is too crucial to the future health of the citys struggling southern neighborhoods, where residents now face long bus trips or hefty cab fares to shop for food.
That area is not going to come back unless there is a stimulus, he said.
Today, the site at Rivers and McMillan avenues is an eyesore a vast vacant space of dirt and asphalt surrounded by a chain link fence as it undergoes an environmental cleanup.
What might it look like in the future? Here are pictures of the best-and-worst-case scenarios the city could have on its hands.
Best case
When Pinehaven Shopping Center opened in 1959, it contained two grocery stores and several national and local retailers and quickly became one of the Lowcountrys busiest shopping hubs.
No one expects it to return to that former glory anytime soon, but Summey said the city could declare victory if it were to lure a grocery store and other activity to the 18-acre site.
The city is negotiating with two potential grocers and would be willing to sell the site to them or build something to suit them. A lease could be structured to ensure the stores success, he added.
Also, the activity would make the center more appealing to a private owner who would buy the site from the city, reimbursing its taxpayers on their investment.
Summey said the city, unlike a private developer, wouldnt be looking to turn a profit just recover its costs, which it expects will be about $6 million plus any construction costs.
The city isnt interested in holding onto the land long term, so in the best case, the city will be out of its venture within a few years. And the revived center in turn could trigger other redevelopment on nearby parcels, such as the vast parking lot on the former K-Mart across McMillan Avenue.
The sooner were comfortable that the project has gotten on its own two feet, Summey said, thats the day we know we have obtained success.
Worst case
The city had hoped to lure a drugstore to the renovated shopping center, but its talks recently fell through.
Summey said that might be a benefit in disguise because a grocery store the citys real goal would be hurt by competition for a drugstore that also sells milk, bread and other staples.
The commercial real estate business can be a tricky thing, and the citys biggest risk is that it cant make anything happen and that it continues to find costly surprises.
Ive learned much more about dry cleaning fluid than I ever wanted to know, Summey said, referring to a pricey phase of the current cleanup work.
While the city might get a new Cooper River Memorial Library branch at the site plus North Charleston Housing Authority offices and even new housing its unclear if that will lead to something bigger.
The citys $6 million investment wont necessarily force taxes up, but the question is whether the citys involvement may actually slow its redevelopment because of bureaucracy.
City Councilman Ed Astle said he would like to see the shopping center revived but is unclear if the city can do it.
My thought is if the guys who do this for a living cant make it fly, how are we going to do it? he asked. Our specialty is government.
Even if it takes the city a long time to recoup its investment, the project may pay political dividends earlier, as the mayor and council members will be seen as trying hard to improve the quality of life for residents in some of the citys poorest neighborhoods.
City Councilman Ron Brinson, who worked at Pinehaven when it first opened, said he normally wouldnt favor risky government intervention in the market but he does in this case. Residents without a nearby grocery store face long bus trips, high cab fares or gas bills or a worse diet.
We have a duty to act in a responsible and rational way, he said.

It sounds funny, but it makes complete sense. We consistently talk about how we are so hard pressed for time and how our lack of time translates into a deficiency in our ability to continue our learning and actively seek out professional development opportunities.
Recently, my good friend Sam Patterson (patue.org) completed an 8 hour road trip – texting me along the way with comments about my back catalog of shows. This made me think a lot about the untapped potential of the 'road trip.' I know that I am likely the first to give the road trip a hard time – always favoring a 2 hour plane ride to an 8+ hour car ride. What Sam has reminded me is the learning power of the road trip – the ability to stock up on some great podcasts and learn. Seriously, how often are you that free of interruptions? You shouldn't be texting/emailing, no one can walk in and ask you questions, and you get to curate your own professional development via the back catalogs of some great podcasts. There are a couple ways to ensure you're ready to go when leaving for your next road trip. Here they are:
Download a Podcast App:
Apple has a native iOS app for podcasts. It allows you to download episodes for off-the-grid listening. For those of you on Android, here is an app I've heard a lot of great things about: BeyondPod. These apps will allow you to create a library of your favorite podcasts and run them in playlist form during your trip. Here are a couple more options: Downcast, Podbay
Get your phone connected to your car:
There are SO many ways to accomplish this. If you have a newer car, it will likely have either a headphone jack, USB port, or bluetooth functionality to listen to the audio from your phone. Lots of cars don't have this functionality so other options are necessary. You can use an FM Modulator, which plugs into your phone's headphone jack and will wirelessly transmit to your radio via one of the pre-defined stations. At only $20, it's a great way to get audio from your phone into your car.
Here is a link to that FM Modulator.
Find some great Podcasts:
If you're leaving soon for that big road trip, be sure to get a ton of awesome shows saved up. Here are some I'd recommend:
- Techlandia: Jon, Alison, and Curt talk about 3 Apps, 3 Twitter users to follow, 3 EduAwesome things and 3 things that aren't. Definitely worth a listen.
- TeacherCast: Jeff Bradbury has an amazing podcasting network put together via TeacherCast. Tons of great information is shared on his podcast and many great guests are featured to discuss innovation in education.
- Mobile Reach: David, Sue, and Jennie talk about how mobile devices are revolutionizing education. You can count on them to provide fresh content on a weekly basis by subscribing to Mobile Reach.
- Instructional Tech Talk: This is my show that talks all about instructional technology and how it can help innovate your classroom. It features many great app developers, educational bloggers, and educational masterminds (the teachers!).
Enjoy your time on the road:
It's not everyday that you have the ability to have several hours of uninterrupted time. Take advantage of this time by learning some great resources for the classroom. Let us know where you go and what podcasts you listen to!

CHESTER-The Taylor, Smith & Taylor silos' date with the wrecking ball has arrived.
The much-anticipated demolition of the seven 70-foot silos began on Monday, culminating months of cleanup and remediation work at the old TS&T pottery site in Chester.
"Everybody's been asking, 'When are the silos coming down? We want to watch,' " said Frank Six, co-owner of Six Recycling in East Liverpool.

On Monday, bystanders and motorists watched from Eighth Street and the Jennings Randolph Bridge as Wayne Six operated a crane with a wrecking ball on the end, smashing it into the silos' lofty reinforced concrete. The crane has a 100-foot reach and a 35-ton lifting capacity.
Chunks of concrete and reinforcement bar broke loose and fell to the ground as the wrecking ball did its work most of Monday afternoon. Demolition of the silos will take about two weeks to complete, Frank Six said.
The silo work, originally scheduled to start in August, was delayed because samples of soil from underground tanks at the base of the silos had to be tested for anything toxic, Six said. Officials were awaiting the results and final approval from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection.
"We had to get sampling done from underneath the tanks to make sure nothing had leaked out into the soil," Six said. "The results came back clean, so they said, 'Go ahead and take them down.' "
The silos are at least half full with powdered clay that was used in the pottery-making process. Officials had hoped that the clay could be reused but found that it couldn't because it was in a hardened form, Six said.
Once the silos are down, the crushed concrete and clay will be used as filler material on the site, Six said. Other materials, including bricks, concrete, sandstone, steel beams and wood beams, have either been hauled away for reuse or kept on-site as clean fill.
More than 254 loads of asbestos-containing material have been hauled away and taken to a certified landfill since clean-up began in April. Officials also believe that some of the riverbank soil is contaminated with lead, requiring further remediation with the help of a $200,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
"We really don't want to take anything off the site if it's not contaminated," said Patrick Ford, executive director of the Business Development Corporation (BDC) of the Northern Panhandle.
Recycling the construction materials from the old pottery factory will ensure that the eight-acre property is ready for any future construction, Ford said. The BDC, the chief economic development authority for Brooke and Hancock counties, bought the property for $125,000 in June 2011.
"The whole premise behind remediation is to create a very developable site," Ford said. "We're using a lot of the brick and concrete as fill material to make it more level for economic development purposes."
Ford said recycling material from the site also is a cost- and time-saving measure, given that workers have found large open spaces underground in what was once the foundation of the pottery.
"It's almost like an archaeological dig," Ford said. "You find foundations of buildings. You dig a little more, and you find a new foundation. ... These are big cavernous rooms. It would take an inordinate amount of material to bring in off-site to fill these in."
Ford said the site, which sat vacant and blighted since the pottery closed in 1981, is about 60 days away from being ready to promote for economic development purposes.
The site's reclamation had been identified previously as a priority by local, state and federal authorities, but it was not until a group of Chester residents-the Rock Springs Riverfront Redevelopment Committee-organized in early 2011 that the cleanup work began in earnest. Since then, the $1.1 million project has received funding from the EPA, the state of West Virginia and Hancock County commissioners.

Do you know the signs of stress in ferrets and how to alleviate it?
When I had my Zero we were joined at the hip. He wouldn't let me out of his sight. He even went on vacations with me. On the occasions I did have to leave him with a family member, he'd start to panic and try to get out of the cage frantically so I'd not leave him. I'd come home to find him thin as a rail because he'd stop eating. He'd paw at his mouth and yelp. He had the dreaded green poo. I had to keep A/D in the house all the time and hand-feed him and basically walk around with him in my arms and sleep next to him for weeks until he was well again. A/D, amoxidrops and Pedialyte have been my lifesavers. [Ferrets are] so tiny that it doesn't take much to throw them off track — new ferrets in the house, new home, other pets, health issues and, like my Zero, separation will all cause the stress. If yours is acting way different than normal and not eating or has poo changes, [your] best bet is to see the vet to rule out disease or illness. Antibiotics may be needed or just a little TLC:) — Sherri Stewart

• The empiric literature reports few distinctive features among patients discharged against medical advice (AMA) or absent without leave and regularly discharged inpatients. Interactive relationships between predictors of discharge status and diagnosis have not been studied, however. This study used discriminant function analyses to test for predictors of discharge with medical advice, AMA, and by transfer for inpatients with schizophrenia (N=132), schizoaffective disorder (N =61), borderline personality disorder (N =69), and unipolar affective disorder (N=42) from a follow-up study. Results showed that indexes of chronic psychosis predicted transfer for all diagnoses. Angry, impulsive behavior and unstable relationships predicted AMA discharge in all but the unipolar patients. For the latter, being married was most powerfully associated with AMA status.

Are you allowing enough time for the installer to load and start?
Sometimes it can take a few minutes.
Is this a desktop/tower with a CRT or LCD monitor, or a notebook/laptop?
You may need to use one or more of the cheat codes, especially if it is
a notebook PC.
If a multiscan-type CRT monitor, it might contain a relay to change its
resolution, and perhaps is not set correctly when Linux is initializing.
I have see this with ViewSonic multiscan monitors. The solution is to
try another monitor for the install. Then you can usually switch back.

Fewer than 30 breast cancer facilities nationwide can call themselves a Certified Quality Breast Center of Excellence, and now Charleston is home to one of them.
Trident Breast Care Center recently claimed that level of certification from the National Consortium of Breast Centers. The facility is the only one in South Carolina to receive the recognition.
Wesley Fox, Trident Health director of medical imaging, said the honor speaks to Trident's more than 35 years of experience in breast care.
"This certification really puts us in another tier," Fox said. "We have a superb team. Our staff is fully equipped, and our technology is cutting-edge. Women have the right to make a choice of where they want to have their procedures and screenings performed, and not every facility is the same."
The National Consortium of Breast Centers bases the recognition on several quality standards criteria involving both preventative and post-diagnosis care. To be named a Center of Excellence, a breast care center must perform above the 25th percentile on 90 percent of those.
"They look at your entire process of turnaround time of results, from the mammography to pathology results: how quickly we can interpret those and expedite patient care," Fox said. "Really, the turnaround time is what distinguishes us from other centers, and it plays a huge part in helping with patient anxiety."
Another one of the center's assets is its nurse navigator, Penny Fanning, who guides patients through the treatment process, Fox said.
"It ensures that no one falls through the cracks or feels lost," Fanning said.
The recognition is the most recent for Lowcountry breast care centers. The MUSC Hollings Cancer Center and Roper Breast Care Center have received accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. Trident Breast Care Center and East Cooper's Breast Center are American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Centers of Excellence.
