School misspells its name -- Caught 9 years later
Typo pointed out by family of school's namesake
An elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, issued the mother of all mea culpas this week when it corrected a misspelling in its name that wasn't noticed for nine years.
Sunrise Elementary School added "McMillan" to its name in the 2003-2004 school year to honor its very first teacher, Mary McMillan, who eventually became its principal, KXAS-TV reported.
However, a relative of McMillan recently contacted the school district to point out that the school had added an extra "'I" in its spelling of her name and that the incorrect spelling of "Sunrise-McMillian" was being used in lettering on the building, printed signs, vinyl congratulatory signs, logos and on Facebook.
"Oh, I was kind of shocked," Ernie Johnson, who waters the grass on school grounds, told the TV station. "I hadn't paid it any mind."
According to KXAS, the lettering on the building was corrected this week, but the school district is still scrambling to fix the typo on business cards, visitor passes, certificates and digital signatures embedded in email.
Principal Marion Mouton said despite their best efforts, he and his staff keep finding the misspellings.
"Our day-to-day things that we just take for granted now and, as we're coming up with it, we're seeing 'OK, that's something else we need to fix,'" he said.
There's no word on what the final cost will be to correct the mistake.

Once sunburn occurs, you can't do much to limit damage to your skin. But the following tips may reduce your pain and discomfort:
- Take a pain reliever. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, may help control pain until redness and soreness subside.
- Cool the skin. Apply to the affected skin a cool compress — such as a towel dampened with cool tap water. Or take a cool bath or shower.
- Apply moisturizer, aloe vera lotion or gel, or hydrocortisone cream to the affected skin. A low-dose (0.5 to 1 percent) hydrocortisone cream may decrease pain and swelling and speed healing.
- If blisters form, don't break them. They contain your natural body fluid (serum) and are a protective layer. Also, breaking blisters slows the healing process and increases the risk of infection. If needed, lightly cover blisters with gauze. If blisters break, gently clean the area with mild soap and water, apply an antibacterial cream, and cover with a wet dressing.
- Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Sun exposure and heat can cause fluid loss through your skin. Drinking helps your body recover.
- Treat peeling skin gently. Within a few days, the affected area may begin to peel. This is simply your body's way of getting rid of the top layer of damaged skin. While your skin is peeling, continue to use moisturizing cream.
- Protect your sunburn from further sun exposure. Stay out of the sun or protect yourself from sunlight when you go outside.
Avoid applying "-caine" products, such as benzocaine. Such creams may irritate the skin or cause an allergic reaction.
Benzocaine has been linked to a rare but potentially deadly condition called methemoglobinemia. This condition decreases the amount of oxygen the blood can carry.
Don't use benzocaine in children younger than age 2 without supervision from a health care professional. If you're an adult, never use more than the recommended dose and consider talking with your doctor before using it.

The flu claims a new victim in New York -- high fives.
That's right, a kids soccer club in Manhattan has put the kibosh on high fives, hand shaking, fist bumps or other type of congratulatory hand touching to avoid spreading the flu, the New York Post reported.
New York declared a flu emergency over the weekend amid a spike in flu hospitalizations. Nearly 20,000 flu cases had been reported through Monday, WCBS reported.
While banning high fives may seem a bit extreme, Manhattan Soccer Club parents were all for the restrictions.
"It shows that (the club) is on top of what is going on with the flu outbreak, and they have come up with a great solution that shows good sportsmanship while also reducing the chance of transferring the flu," parent Andy Stenzler told the Post.

Roundup: 'Bama,Oregonstay ontrack
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. No. 2 Alabama really owns the state now.
AJ McCarron passed for four touchdowns and Eddie Lacy rushed for 131 yards and two scores to lead the Crimson Tide to a 49-0 beatdown of rival Auburn on Saturday in the most lopsided Iron Bowl in 64 years.
The Crimson Tide (10-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) clinched the Western Division title outright and a spot in the conference title game against No. 3 Georgia with the winner likely getting a national championship shot.
None of that will come as easily as this one. Auburn (3-9, 0-8) completed the worst season for any team within two years of winning an Associated Press national title in what might have been the last game for embattled coach Gene Chizik.
University President Jay Gogue has only said hell evaluate the program at seasons end. That end came in a painful way for the Tigers.
Chizik met Tide coach Nick Saban briefly at midfield, hugged McCarron, and walked off the field with cameras following his every move.
The biggest Iron Bowl margin was Alabamas 55-0 victory in 1948.
Alabama outgained the Tigers 483-163 and had 25 first downs to Auburns seven.
No. 6 Florida 37,
No. 10 Florida State 26
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Mike Gillislee ran for two touchdowns and No. 6 Florida scored 24 straight points in the fourth quarter to defeat Florida State 37-26 Saturday and keep its national title hopes alive.
Florida regained the lead 23-20 on Gillislees 37-yard run with 11:01 left in the final period on the first play after Florida States EJ Manuel fumbled, his fourth turnover of the game. Gillislee finished with 140 yards rushing.
Florida (11-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) came into the game fourth in the BCS standings, and the gators could find themselves in position to earn a spot in the national championship game if No. 1 Notre Dame loses to Southern California. The Gators lone loss was in late October to third-ranked Georgia, and it will keep them out of the SEC title game.
Florida State (10-2, 7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) was hurt by five turnovers in the game. The Seminoles will play Georgia Tech next week in the ACC title game.
Florida State was hoping to keep its own long shot national title hopes alive, and restore a bit of respect for its conference, with a third straight win over the Gators, but couldnt.
Florida salted its victory away on a Jeff Driskels 14-yard touchdown throw to Quinton Dunbar with seven minutes left and Matt Jones 32-yard run with 2:33 left for a 37-20 lead.
Caleb Sturgis kicked three field goals for the Gators. Florida States Dustin Hopkins had field goals of 50 and 53 yards to tie former Georgia kicker Billy Bennetts NCAA record of 87 career field goals.
Oregon 48, Oregon State 24
CORVALLIS, Ore. Kenjon Barner ran for 198 yards and two touchdowns despite leaving the game for a time with an injury and No. 5 Oregon defeated No. 16 Oregon State 48-24 in the Civil War on Saturday, keeping alive the Ducks hopes for a spot in the Pac-12 title game and even an outside chance at the national championship.
DeAnthony Thomas, who helped picked up the slack while Barner was on the sidelines, ran for 122 yards and three scores for the Ducks (11-1, 8-1).
After Oregons undefeated season was thwarted by a 17-14 overtime loss to Stanford last weekend, the Ducks had to wait for UCLAs game against the Cardinal later Saturday to see who would be headed to the conference championship game. Both Oregon and Stanford started the day with one conference loss in the leagues northern division.
It was Oregons fifth straight victory in the 116-game rivalry series with the Beavers.
While the Civil War is normally the season finale for both teams, Oregon State (8-3, 6-3) will host Nicholls State next Saturday in a matchup that was supposed to open the season but was put off when Hurricane Isaac bore down on the Colonels Thibodaux, La., campus.
The Beavers will have to wait to find out where theyre headed for a bowl game, but already their season can be counted a success after they went just 3-9 last year.
Barner appeared to hurt either his abdomen or ribs late in the first half and headed to the locker room. He returned after the break, but much of the work went to Thomas until he returned on a scoring drive that made it 41-17 early in the fourth quarter.
Oregon redshirt freshman Marcus Mariota threw for 140 yards and a score, and also ran for 85 yards and a touchdown.
His Oregon State counterpart, Sean Mannion, threw for 311 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted four times. Storm Woods rushed for 70 yards and two scores.
Mannion started the first four games of the season, throwing seven touchdowns and averaging 339 yards, but injured his left knee and required surgery. Vaz, who hadnt started since high school, took over and helped the Beavers to win in the next two games, and later became the teams starter.
But Vaz sprained his left ankle in the final moments of a loss to Stanford two weeks ago, and sat out last Saturday during Oregon States 64-14 victory at home over California. Mannion got the nod for the Civil War.
A 47,249 fans attended the game, setting Reser Stadium record.
Oregon put the Stanford loss behind them by striking quickly on their first possession with Mariotas 42-yard keeper. The touchdown drive took just 1:46, but the Ducks 2-point try to cap it off failed.
The Beavers took a 7-6 lead on Woods 7-yard touchdown run, but the Ducks answered on the next series with Thomas 2-yard TD dash. Barner added a 1-yard scoring run before he was hurt.
Stanford held Barner to 66 yards the week before, but he had 141 yards before halftime against the Beavers. With his first 15 yards rushing Saturday, he moved past Derek Loville (1986-89) for second on Oregons career rushing list.
Trevor Romaine kicked a 36-yard field goal to narrow it to 20-10 at halftime and the Beavers pulled closer with Woods 2-yard scoring run on their first series of the second half.
It was all Ducks the rest of the way. Thomas scored on a 6-yard run to extend Oregons lead to 27-17, before the Ducks capitalized on a Beaver fumble that led to Thomas 29-yard touchdown run. Barner returned with his 1-yard run and Mariota found B.J. Kelley with a 2-yeard scoring pass.
Mannion hit Micah Hatfield with a 6-yard touchdown pass with 20 seconds left for the final margin.
The Ducks hold a 60-46-10 advantage in the Civil War which dates back to 1894 and is the seventh-most contested rivalry in the nation.
It was the fourth time that both teams were ranked for the Civil War. The last was in 2009, when Oregon was No. 7 and Oregon State was No. 13. That game was dubbed the War of the Roses because the winner was guaranteed a Rose Bowl berth. Oregon won 37-33.
No. 14 Oklahoma 51,
No. 22 Oklahoma State 48 (OT)
NORMAN, Okla. Landry Jones threw for 500 yards and three touchdowns, and Brennan Clay scored on an 18-yard run in overtime to lift No. 14 Oklahoma to a 51-48 win against No. 22 Oklahoma State in the Bedlam rivalry on Saturday.
The Sooners (9-2, 7-1 Big 12) never led during regulation, overcoming double-digit deficits in both halves. Backup quarterback Blake Bell tied it with 4 seconds left on a 4-yard keeper on fourth-and-1.
Joseph Randle ran for 113 yards and matched his career-high with four touchdowns for Oklahoma State (7-4, 5-3), which settled for Quinn Sharps 26-yard field goal in overtime.
On the Sooners second play, Clay got through traffic at the line of scrimmage and then broke through attempted tackles by Daytawion Lowe and Shamiel Gary to score the game-winner and set off a celebration on Owen Field.
Penn State 24,
Wisconsin 21 (OT)
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Sam Ficken hit a 37-yard field goal in overtime, and Wisconsins Kyle French attempt from 45 yards went wide left to seal Penn States 24-21 win Saturday in an emotional season finale in Happy Valley.
The Nittany Lions (8-4, 6-2 Big Ten) could have ended it for good a play earlier, but linebacker Glenn Carson dropped a potential interception.
Still, the Beaver Stadium faithful celebrated anyway after Frenchs miss on Senior Day capped a challenging year that began with landmark sanctions from the NCAA for the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
Quarterback Curt Phillips found Jeff Duckworth for a 4-yard touchdown pass with 18 seconds left for Wisconsin (7-5, 4-4) to make it 21-all and send the game into overtime.
Badgers star running back Montee Ball ran for 111 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries, and set the NCAA record with his 97th career score.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

Macular degeneration is a chronic and usually progressive disorder that affects the central part of the retina (the macula) and causes reduced ability to see. Macular degeneration causes a gradual loss of sharp, central vision.
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in older adults in the United States. The frequency of this disorder increases with age. The majority of affected people are aged 75-80 years old.
Adult macular degeneration (AMD), which is the most common form of macular degeneration, occurs in two main forms:
Ninety percent of people with AMD have this type. An area of the retina is affected, which leads to slow breakdown of cells in the macula and a gradual loss of central vision. Dry AMD sometimes occurs in one eye first, but usually affects both eyes eventually. Stages of dry macular degeneration can be classified as early, intermediate, and late.
Although only 10% of all people with AMD have this type, it accounts for 90% of all blindness from the disease. As late AMD progresses, new blood vessels may begin to grow. These new blood vessels often leak blood and fluid under the macula. This causes rapid damage to the macula that can lead to significant loss of central vision in a short time.What are the symptoms of macular degeneration?How is macular degeneration diagnosed?What are the risk factors for macular degeneration?What are the treatments for macular degeneration?Are there screening tests for macular degeneration?How can I reduce my risk of macular degeneration?What's it like to live with macular degeneration?What questions should I ask my doctor?Where can I get more information about macular degeneration?

A pair of identical twin sisters in Ohio now share another special bond, becoming mothers in the New Year just two hours apart.
Aimee Nelson found out she was pregnant just two days after her sister, Ashlee, did.
With due dates just five days apart, the sisters knew they would have a great story to share with the cousins when they grew up. But they had no idea Aimee would go into labor early.
"My mom told me that she was here and when I got up to go to the bathroom, my water broke, so I had to come in too," Ashlee told Cleveland TV station WEWS.
Aimee's son, Donovyn, was born at 12:11 p.m. on New Year's Eve. Cousin Cody entered the world at 2:03 p.m.
Although they're very close, the twin sisters couldn't have planned this even if they tried.

C. Kay Rowley, Contributing writer
Creak, crunch and groan ... those are the sounds of osteoarthritis.
If you're 45 years or older, you may have noticed those sounds when you are going up or down stairs or when you first wake up in the morning. If so, you are one of the 27 million Americans who suffer from a disease of the joints called osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a disease of wear and tear in which the cartilage (the shock-absorbing tissue that covers the ends of the bones) breaks down over time, leading to fragile collagen.
There are a variety of factors that can cause this condition, such as a ligament tear or sprain, bone fractures, tissue injuries, obesity, and weakness in the muscles that support joints can also contribute or increase your risk by placing stress on joint cartilage. The most common areas that are affected by osteoarthritis are the knees, hips, fingers, neck and lower back.
Strategies To Help Cope With Osteoarthritis
The pain and stiffness that you experience can interfere with your ability to do the things you love, like working in your garden, or keeping up the pace of your normal activities, such as shopping, business travel or even enjoying your favorite sport. If you take care of your joints, they will take care of you. Here are some ways to start "living" with osteoarthritis:
Start Moving
The health of your joints depends on movement to keep the tissues flexible, lubricated and replenished with nutrients. Some of the best activities include walking, low-impact aerobics, swimming, cycling, aqua aerobics and yoga. Weight training with free weights or with weight machines also helps the affected joints.
Lose The Extra Pounds
We all could stand to lose a few extra pounds, but being overweight or obese actually increases your risk of developing osteoarthritis. It can also make your existing osteoarthritis worse. A moderate weight loss of 10-15 pounds over a four-month period can reduce your pain significantly and also improve your quality of life.
Apply Cold Or Heat
Many people who suffer from osteoarthritis find that alternating between cold and heat significantly reduces their pain and stiffness. An ice pack (or bag of frozen peas) can numb the pain and decrease swelling. A heating pad and warm shower can also improve circulation around the joint and relax tense muscles.
Medication And Topical Analgesics
There is no medication that can stop or reverse osteoarthritis, but there are many medications that can alleviate the pain and inflammation so you can remain active, such as: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), aspirin (Bayer, Excedrin), and acetaminophen (Tylenol).
If pain becomes severe, consult your physician for prescription strength pain relievers. Many people find relief from analgesic creams or salves applied directly to the skin. Capsaicin, an active ingredient in many of these creams, depletes a neurotransmitter that sends pain signals and others deliver an anti-inflammatory through the skin. Be sure to follow the directions carefully.
Corticosteroid Injections
Oftentimes having a cortisone injection can reduce swelling and relieve pain quickly. A new type of injection called hyaluronic acid (viscosupplementation) injected into the joint can temporarily replace the cushioning substance in joint fluid that is depleted in people with osteoarthritis.
Embracing The Use Of Braces
It may not sound attractive, but taping or using neoprene sleeves can alleviate pain in the upper and lower body joints by holding them in better alignment and by supporting weak muscles. You can buy these over the counter in most drug stores or they can be custom fitted. Taping should only be done by a trained physical therapist.
Complementary Medicine
Many sufferers of osteoarthritis are receiving considerable relief through the ancient practice of acupuncture (thin needles placed in specific points of the body). Others are helped by green tea (a staple of the Eastern diet), and the ancient Chinese martial arts of tai chi helps not only pain, but physical function.
For over a decade, the use of glucosamine and chondroitin has received popular attention. These over-the-counter nutritional supplements have helped many people although there is no clinical evidence to support its use. However, one study did find that the combination of the two supplements significantly improved pain relief in those with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis.
Consider Surgery
When osteoarthritis interferes with activities of daily living or nothing relieves the pain, consideration for surgery is always an option. One of the most common surgeries is to remove the damaged joint and replace it with an artificial one. This is called total joint replacement surgery. Another technique that is being tested is a resurfacing of the diseased portion of the joint instead of replacing the entire joint.
Although there is no cure for osteoarthritis, living with the pain is made easier with a combination of treatments depending on the severity of the disease. Consult your healthcare provider for the best option for you and your lifestyle.
New studies are being conducted every day to find new treatment options and to find the cause. But the best treatment is to take care of your joints today, so they can take care of you tomorrow!

A record number of people logged online to track jolly old Saint Nick's Christmas Eve flight around the globe in 2013, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
The NORAD Tracks Santa website logged 19.58 unique visitors from 234 different countries and territories during the 23 hours on Christmas Eve that Santa's flight is tracked, according to NORAD.
On top of all those web views, 1,200 volunteer operators answered 117,371 calls and 9,606 emails from people trying to find out where Santa was.
NORAD started tracking Santa's Christmas Eve flight in 1955, when an ad that was supposed to direct people to call a department store's phone number to track Kriss Kringle's progress included a misprint that instead directed folks to call a NORAD line.
Tracking options have become decidedly more high-tech since 1955 -- in addition to the phone line, online tracker and email options, people can follow Santa's progress on Twitter (which 146,307 did this year) or calling OnStar operators (which 800 subscribers did this year). Also, the NORAD Santa Tracker Facebook page earned 1.45 million "likes," and the operation's Google Plus page had 41,676 fans this year.

Hospital has Oct. deadline for fixesSeptember 20,2013
BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Retreat psychiatric hospital has until Oct. 30 to implement changes in its handling of violent or aggressive patient behavior or risk losing federal funding.
The Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements account for more than half of its revenues.
The hospital has provided the largest share of acute psychiatric care capacity to fill the gap created by the forced closure of the 54-bed Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury after flooding from Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 inundated the state office complex.
The Brattleboro Retreat had been working on corrections, but inspectors investigated a new complaint in July about a patient that revealed more problems. A patient had behaved aggressively for several days, frightening other patients and repeatedly striking a mental health worker.
Document said when the patient resisted emergency medication, Brattleboro police were called in to help and the patient ended up being tasered.
The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services said the hospital violated the patient's rights by handing over authority to police when the patient was under the hospital's protection.
Senior Vice President Peter Albert said the hospital has adjusted its policies and created proper training and supervision of staff.
UVM gets grant to study tobacco
BURLINGTON — The University of Vermont is the recipient of a $19.5 million, five-year federal grant to bring science-based regulation to the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of tobacco.
UVM officials said Thursday the school is one of 14 tobacco centers of regulatory science, which are receiving a total of up to $53 million for tobacco-related research in fiscal 2013.
The money is coming from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health.
The tobacco centers are designed to generate research to inform the regulation of tobacco products and protect public health.
UVM psychiatry professor Stephen Higgins said the school has a long history and extensive expertise in the field of changing unhealthy behaviors like smoking.
Gov.: No worries over health glitch
MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin said he's not worried about a glitch that's popped up in connection with the Vermont Health Connect insurance exchange.
The exchange will not be able to accept electronic payments until a month after its scheduled Oct. 1 startup.
Shumlin said people can begin shopping for health insurance as planned Oct. 1 through the exchange. But he noted the coverage won't actually start until Jan. 1, and he said it's unlikely anyone will want to pay for it before it starts.
Administration officials had been saying for months it would be all systems go on the exchange by Oct. 1.

Electric co-op members get payout
MONTPELIER — The Vermont Electric Cooperative is returning $850,000 to members, the first time it's made such a distribution in its 75-year history.
In previous years, the co-op has reinvested earnings in upgrades to its electrical system and used capital to secure power supply contracts.
The co-op said it recently adopted new policies that enable "patronage capital" distributions. That's based on the principle that the economic benefits of a cooperative's operation should be returned to its members or reinvested in the co-op.
The distributions apply to members during 1997 and 2012. Active members in good account standing and with patronage capital balances from these years can expect to receive a credit on their bills between now and mid-October.

Talking Points: Taking a little Vermont out fishingStefan Hard / Staff File Photo
Jimmy Kennedy, of Plainfield, holds up a mornings catch during a bass tournament on Lake Champlain.
Jimmy Kennedys a busy man.
A professional bass fisherman from Plainfield, he competes in seven or eight tournaments a year in the Bassmaster Southern Opens series and the F.L.W. Everstart series, traveling to lakes and rivers in places like Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Maryland and, closer to home, Lake Champlain in the Champlain Bass series. He co-hosts the Lakes Region Fishing show on television, is a certified instructor for the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Departments Lets Go Fishing program and mentors at Twinfield school taking kids ice fishing and helping the Farnham family with the annual Kids Fishing Derby in Plainfield.
Ive always enjoyed taking kids fishing. You get a lot of reward for it, because they have such a great time, he says.
But Kennedy is also a chef. River Run in Plainfield was his restaurant for almost 19 years, and now he develops recipes and is a spokesman for Cabot Creamery, putting on cooking demonstrations and appearing on cooking shows to introduce the companys products across the country. In addition, he runs J.D.K. B.B.Q. catering during the spring, summer and fall.
Several years ago Kennedy approached Cabot as a potential sponsor for his professional fishing career, and the result is a blue camouflage, Cabot-plaid-clad 802 Toyota truck towing a matching Skeeter boat. Hard to miss when hes driving to tournaments and handing out three-quarter-ounce samples to toll booth operators and gas station employees.
People love it. Its fun. Cabots an easy sell, he says. The truck and the boat get a lot of attention.
Kennedy started fishing when he was growing up in Mississippi and continued competitively through his time at the University of Mississippi. After graduating, he worked for Mississippi Rep. Webb Franklin, which took him to Washington, D.C., and on a fishing hiatus, which amazes him on reflection, now that hes competed in tournaments on the Potomac.
I should have been fishing there the whole time. A lot of people fish right next to the Jefferson Memorial all the way up to the Kennedy Center. People dont think of the Potomac as good fishing, but it really is, he says.
From D.C. he moved to New York City, getting more involved in the restaurant world and running a small Mississippi catfish distribution business. Eventually, he moved to Vermont and in 1991 opened River Run. He joined a fishing club in St. Albans and got back into fishing competitively, working his way up through the amateur tours and winning a championship, which earned him his first boat and motor sponsors, Skeeter and Yamaha, and then his gear sponsor, Shimano.
Focusing more on his fishing career was possible after selling River Run, and he was able to continue his passion for cooking when he teamed up with Cabot.
I dont miss cooking, because I still do it so much. I miss the people. We had a great group of regulars. You dont realize how difficult running a restaurant is until you get out. The time commitment is astronomical, says Kennedy.
Now, the biggest challenge is balancing time at home with the traveling he does for tournaments and cooking for Cabot. A tournament will usually take him away for a week or so most tournaments involve two or three days of competition and three days of official practice but if he combines it with a demonstration it can be longer. Most recently, he spent two weeks in Florida doing exactly that at the South Florida Fair.
Kennedy usually selects about three recipes to demonstrate; all of his recipes and more can be found at www.cabotcheese.coop.
My favorite, or the one that has gotten the most exposure and is the easiest, is Cheddar Smores, which is a three-quarter-ounce sample bar on chocolate on a graham cracker, briefly melted in the oven, he says.
Cheese and chocolate?
Its so good! I was at home trying to think of how I could use the cheese in an unusual but easy way. I had been toying with marshmallows as soup garnish and wasnt getting anywhere, then it just made me think of smores. I ran out right then to get the graham crackers. It was so much better than I thought it was going to be.
On the Cabot Community Tour, which took him from Miami to Portland, Maine, last year, Kennedy says they probably made about 20,000 of them.
Seriously Sharp is Kennedys favorite cheese to cook with, but Cabot offers a range of products that can be used in recipes, including yogurt.
Ive never been a big yogurt fan, but that stuffs like eating ice cream. I have used it as a substitute for all sorts of things like mayo, eggs and buttermilk, he says. Every year I learn more and more about the company and just love what Im doing there.
Indeed, Kennedy hopes to be doing exactly what hes doing now for as long as possible. In the short term, he is looking forward to the Champlain Bass series, saying that northern Lake Champlain is his favorite place to fish.
Theres going to be some pretty stiff competition, he says. But you play to your strengths. Usually you have a few things that youre good at, that youre comfortable with. But some places you just have to adapt and go with the flow.

Published: Ann Intern Med. 2010;153(8):536-539.
The Affordable Care Act is a once-in-a-generation change to the U.S. health system. It guarantees access to health care for all Americans, creates new incentives to change clinical practice to foster better coordination and quality, gives physicians more information to make them better clinicians and patients more information to make them more value-conscious consumers, and changes the payment system to reward value. The Act and the health information technology provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act remove many barriers to delivering high-quality care, such as unnecessary administrative complexity, inaccessible clinical data, and insufficient access to primary care and allied health providers.
We hope that physicians will embrace the opportunities created by the Affordable Care Act that will enable them to provide better care for their patients and lead the U.S. health system in a more positive direction. To fully realize the benefits of the Affordable Care Act for their practices and their patients, physicians will design their offices for seamless care, employing new practice models and using technology to integrate patient information with professional society guidelines to keep patients with chronic conditions healthy and out of the hospital. Under the Affordable Care Act, physicians who effectively collaborate with other providers to improve patient outcomes, the value of medical services, and patient experiences will thrive and be the leaders of the health care system.
Focusing care around exceptional patient experience and shared clinical outcome goals.
Expanding the use of electronic health records with capacity for drug reconciliation, guidelines, alerts, and other decision support.
Redesigning care to include a team of nonphysician providers, such as nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, care coordinators, and dietitians.
Establishing, with physician colleagues, patient care teams to take part in bundled payments and incentive programs, such as accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical homes.
Proactively managing preventive care—reaching out to patients to assure they get recommended tests and follow-up interventions.
Collaborating with hospitals to dramatically reduce readmissions and hospital-acquired infections.
Engaging in shared decision-making discussions regarding treatment goals and approaches.
Redesigning medical office processes to capture savings from administrative simplification.
Developing approaches to engage and monitor patients outside of the office (e.g., electronically, home visits, other team members).
Incorporating patient-centered outcomes research to tailor care appropriate for specific patient populations.
Physicians have a moral calling to promote the health of their patients and the overall health of all citizens. Many barriers have prevented U.S. physicians from fully realizing these ideals. The Affordable Care Act not only removes many of these barriers but also puts in motion new policies and economic incentives that will change the practice of medicine for clinicians and the experience of care.
The Act does this by guaranteeing access to health care for all Americans, providing physicians with incentives and information to change the way that they deliver care, offering patients new and better information about practitioners and treatment options, creating strong incentives to improve quality and reliability both in hospitals and throughout the continuum of care, and implementing policies that will slow the rate of cost growth to make health care more affordable. Although full implementation will take a decade, many of the most important patient protection and delivery system provisions either have already been implemented or will be enacted in the next year. For this reason, it is important that physicians make themselves aware of the objectives, major provisions, and physician implications of the Affordable Care Act (Table) (1).
More than 45 million Americans are uninsured, and as a result, they experience increased morbidity and mortality (2). Even Americans who have insurance often face financial and other barriers to getting care. The Affordable Care Act removes most of these financial barriers. It closes the "doughnut hole" for Medicare beneficiaries over the next decade, reducing a financial barrier that decreases medication adherence, which should lead to better health (3). Similarly, the Act removes annual and lifetime limits and outlaws other insurance practices, such as rescissions, that frequently deny people care when they most need it. Finally, it will lower other health care costs. For example, it makes preventive screening visits free by eliminating cost sharing and copayments, so serious conditions can be diagnosed when treatments are most effective. In these and many other ways, the Affordable Care Act will make it easier for physicians to get their patients the right tests and treatments.
While the United States certainly has some of the world's best physicians and health facilities, U.S. medicine fails to deliver reliably high-quality care: We have far too many unplanned readmissions, medication errors, and hospital-acquired infections (4). We also fall far short of delivering effective primary and secondary prevention for patients with chronic conditions who account for a majority of health care costs (5). Numerous barriers inhibit achieving higher-quality care. One barrier relates to patients' utilization of primary prevention. Because a patient is not feeling sick, engaging in prevention seems optional. Other barriers include patient financial responsibility as a substantial barrier to utilization of prevention, poor reimbursement, and underdeveloped clinical reminders at the point of care that assure patients are getting appropriate preventive services (6).
The Affordable Care Act addresses 2 major barriers to consistently delivering high-quality care: information and incentives. Too often have physicians lacked information on whether their patients are taking their medications and following through on prevention recommendations and referrals. In some cases, they also lack information about what treatments work best for which patients. Physicians rarely get patient-specific reminders about treatment goals, gaps in care, or risk-reduction approaches at the point of care, when physicians and patients are most likely to be responsive to information.
The combination of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Affordable Care Act should help address these information gaps. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides about $25 billion in incentives for physicians and hospitals to use electronic health records. Achieving the full extent of benefits necessitates streamlining office practices to enhance patient tracking, teamwork, and patient outcome orientation. The Affordable Care Act provides long-term funding for patient-centered outcomes research, which should give physicians and patients the clinical and research information they need to make better informed and personalized decisions.
The Affordable Care Act provides physicians with financial support for making these changes. Today, the fee-for-service system encourages ordering tests and performing interventions. It does not support—and may discourage—coordinated care that averts complications and secondary prevention. The Affordable Care Act changes this by encouraging and establishing patient-centered medical homes and accountable care organizations that should allow physicians to focus on coordinating care and preventing avoidable hospitalizations. Similarly, the pilot projects on bundled payments reward physicians for providing care that keeps chronically ill patients healthier and out of the hospital (7).
Administrative overhead and lack of primary care providers are also perceived to be barriers to the delivery of high-quality care. The Affordable Care Act is a major step forward in each of these areas. One of the nightmares of the health care system is paperwork. This results in the need for millions of workers just to fill out forms for insurance companies. Under the administrative simplification provisions of the Affordable Care Act, physicians will be able to reliably find out electronically whether a particular test is covered, how much the insurance company is paying, and how much patients have to pay. These simple changes are expected to save the government $20 billion over the next decade and save hospitals, physicians, and insurers far more in both cost and frustration (8).
We also need more primary care providers to improve quality and coordination of care (9). The Affordable Care Act includes a 10% payment bonus for qualified primary care physicians and provides and increases funding for the National Health Service Corps by $1.5 billion over 5 years. It also includes a set of provisions, and millions of dollars in additional funding, to support medical education and increase the number of primary care providers, physician's assistants, and nurse practitioners. The bundling and patient-centered medical home programs add value to primary care and can make the field more attractive to current and future clinicians, so that we have enough skilled clinicians to play the coordination and management roles conceived of in patient-centered medical home and accountable care models (10).
Finally, we acknowledge that many physicians are disappointed that Congress has not yet enacted a long-term fix to the sustainable growth rate formula. No one is more disappointed than President Obama, who made clear: "For years, I have said that a system where doctors are left to wonder if they'll get fairly reimbursed makes absolutely no sense. And I am committed to permanently reforming this Medicare formula in a way that balances fiscal responsibility with the responsibility we have to doctors and seniors." The uncertainty surrounding the sustainable growth rate policy is a distraction and potentially a barrier for some physicians to embrace the Affordable Care Act. But physicians should not let their frustration over the sustainable growth rate distract them from the improvements that health care reform delivers to their patients and the profession.
By removing barriers, the Affordable Care Act provides physicians with the opportunity to evolve the way in which they deliver care. They will have appropriate incentives to focus on coordinating care so that patients get the prevention they need and those with chronic conditions avoid complications. Delivering on the promise of reform will require the full engagement of physicians. The Affordable Care Act and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are likely to affect the practice of medicine in 10 major ways (see Key Summary Points).
These reforms will unleash forces that favor integration across the continuum of care. Some organizing function will need to be developed to track quality measures, account for and manage shared financial incentives, and oversee care coordination. Consequently, the health care system will evolve into 1 of 2 forms: organized around hospitals or organized around physician groups. These coordinating functions, to the extent that they currently exist, traditionally have been managed by hospitals or health plans. Only hospitals or health plans can afford to make the necessary investments in information technology and management skills. This is not inevitable. As physicians organize themselves into increasingly larger groups—patient-centered medical home practices and accountable care organizations—they are, out of necessity, investing in information technology tools that are becoming both cheaper and more capable and investing in the acquisition or development of management skills that could provide these organizing functions efficiently for physician groups.
Physicians who embrace these changes and opportunities are likely to deliver the greatest benefits to their patients, the health system, and themselves. Physician practices that accept the challenge will be rewarded in the future payment system. Once we accomplish this transformation, the U.S. system will be more reliable, will be more accessible, and will offer higher-quality and higher-value care. For physicians, this means a profession that is more rewarding, more productive, and better able to realize its moral ideal.

Infiniti used the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit Monday to unveil a new car and a new naming convention.
The car is the all-new Infiniti Q50, and it replaces the outgoing G37 sedan.
"We challenged ourselves with this new Infiniti Q50 to take another great leap in terms of proportion, 'Infiniti-ness' and premium quality. It presents a new benchmark of Infiniti's sedan leadership," said Infiniti Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura .
Under the Q50's heavily sculpted sheet metal is a 328-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine. A hybrid system will also be available.
Inside, the car will be equipped with plenty of luxury, plus a new steering system called Infiniti Direct Adaptive Steering. Unlike a typical mechanical steering system, the Infiniti system transmits steering input electronically, allowing the steering to be customized for different driving conditions.
With the Q50, Infiniti ushers in a new naming convention for its cars in which all models will begin with the letter Q. Different numbers will differentiate the models, with the Q prefix for cars and the QX prefix for SUVs.
The new Q50 goes on sale this summer.

Off the Wall sets 'Romeo and Juliet' in a retirement home
When Off the Wall Theatre artistic director Dale Gutzman asked Marilyn White to play Juliet to his Romeo, she thought at first that he was joking. While the two have appeared opposite each other more than a dozen times in the past 15 years, White is 67 and Gutzman is 69. When Shakespeare's play opens, Juliet is 13.
"I figured it was going be some kind of spoof," White said, mischievously looking at Gutzman during a recent conversation in Off the Wall's performance space on E. Wells St. »Read Full Article

Listening to Lou Reed: 'New York,' Part I
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.

More often than not, my brain's playback machine brings me the crunchy opening guitar chords of "Romeo Had Juliette," the first song on Reed's 1989 album "New York": »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Teju Cole's 'Every Day Is for the Thief' paints a bleak picture of Nigeria
"Had John Updike been African," observes the narrator of Teju Cole's "Every Day Is for the Thief," "he would have won the Nobel Prize twenty years ago." I "feel a vague pity," he elaborates, "for all those writers who have to ply their trade from sleepy American suburbs, writing divorce scenes symbolized by the very slow washing of dishes."
It's not the most nuanced view of Updike's world, but after reading Cole's beautifully written but disheartening novella of life in contemporary Lagos, it's easy to forgive the hyperbole. The Lagos presented here teems with stories; the question confronting Cole's unnamed narrator is whether he'll be able to tell them without falling apart. »Read Full Article

It's 189,819 letters long and takes more than three hours to say, but is this the world's longest word?
Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl…isoleucine is the chemical name of Titan, the world's largest protein, according to Geekologie.com.
A Russian man recently recorded a video of himself pronouncing the word. Sitting at a desk next to a potted flower, he spends three hours and 33 minutes reciting the entire mouthful.
But although Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl…isoleucine qualifies as the longest word in English, don't expect to find it in the dictionary.
Because it's a technical term for a chemical, it won't appear there.
In fact, some lexicographers aren't sure whether the name of a chemical actually qualifies as a word, and are dubious of its world's longest word status, according to The Huffington Post.
One thing's for sure. It is a mouthful.

Ex-Rutlander charged in Maine slayings due in courtThe Portland Press Herald | December 31,2012BIDDEFORD — James Pak, the 74-year-old Biddeford man scheduled to appear in York County Superior Court this afternoon on murder charges, had to be disabled with a Taser when police took him into custody Saturday night.
Biddeford Police Chief Roger Beaupre said that following a three-hour negotiation with a Biddeford officer, Pak agreed to leave his house at 17 Sokokis Road. But when he emerged from the house, he refused to comply with officers' commands and they could not be sure he was not still armed.
One of the officers disabled him with a Taser, the first discharge of the electronic stun devices since the department acquired them in October, Beaupre said.
Pak, who moved to Maine from Rutland, Vt., about six years ago, faces charges of fatally shooting Derrick Thompson, 19, and Alivia Welch, 18, who were his tenants. Pak also is accused of shooting Thompson's mother, Susan Johnson, 44, also a tenant.
She survived and was escorted from the apartment to a waiting ambulance by a Biddeford officer at the outset of the standoff, Beaupre said.
Johnson was taken to Maine Medical Center but a hospital spokeswoman said Monday she is not listed as a patient. A State police spokesman said he did not know her whereabouts or whether she had been discharged, but said she was still alive.
Johnson's 7-year-old son, Brayden, hid in a bedroom during the shooting and was not injured.
Biddeford police were initially called to the house by one of the tenants complaining that Pak was banging on the door. Police left 43 minutes later after determining that the tenants did not feel threatened.
Less than four minutes later, police were called back to the resident by Johnson reporting the shooting.
Pak has no criminal record in Maine, according to the State Bureau of Identification.
Pak owns the two-unit house where the Saturday shootings took place and lives in the main building.
Pak was arrested in his driveway about 10 p.m. Saturday.
State police said Sunday a dispute over parking in one of the home's two driveways during a snowstorm may have led to the shooting.
Friends of Thompson and Welch will hold a candlelight vigil at 6:30 p.m. today at Clifford Park in Biddeford.
Welch graduated from Thornton Academy in Saco last June and was a nursing student at Southern Maine Community College. Thompson, who attended Biddeford High School, worked as a car detailer at Patriot Subaru in Saco.
Thompson's family moved into the Sokokis Road house in October. Welch had been staying there for about a month, according to police.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

What are signs of ear wax blockage?
Published On: Feb 14 2013 08:44:48 AM PST Updated On: Feb 12 2015 01:17:12 PM PST
At times, excess ear wax can build up in our ears. If you have a build-up of wax, the following symptoms might present themselves.
According to the Mayo Clinic, some symptoms might include an earache, fullness in the ear, noise or ringing in your ear and decreased hearing.
If you think you have ear wax blockage you should see your doctor. The Mayo Clinic recommends that only doctors should remove the excess ear wax. The hospital warns against trying to remove the wax yourself.
