Welcome Advisors!
Dear Student Organization Advisor,
The Office of Student Leadership & Activities (OSLA) appreciates your commitment to serve as an advisor to a registered student organization at Delaware State University. The advisor plays an integral role in helping student leaders create an environment within their organizations that is productive, safe, enjoyable, and educational.
To adjust to the changing dynamic of higher education, and to advance a proactive risk management strategy at Delaware State University, the OSLA believes it is important to provide clear guidance and support regarding the expected role you will play as a facilitator advisor. The OSLA is committed to ensuring you have all the resources and development opportunities to enrich the lives of the students you advise as well as your own.
Student Organization and Advisor Handbook
Organization Registration
New Student Organization - completed by Advisor and members of all new student organizations
Returning Student Organization - completed by Advisor and members of all returning student organizations to update status and organization information
Business and Finance
Office of Student Leadership and Activity Student Organization Budget Narrative Form
This form should be used to provide a projected budget each year for active student organizations. The form should accompany the NEW ORGANIZATION or RETURNING STUDENT ORGANIZATION forms as a guide to determine expected expenditures for the entire academic year.
This form should be filled out for Petty Cash requests, to pay out vendors, request items to purchase or for goods and services.
Background on Guidelines for Solicitation
The University also recognizes the importance of raising financial and in-kind support from outside sources to benefit the University, its students, departments, and activities. The Solicitation Agreement form guides the policies and procedures for selling goods or services on campus for the purpose of raising money for student organization programs and activities.
Travel Authorization, Per Diem Distribution, and Student Travel Release Form
These form should be filled out to request to travel for official school business, (i.e. conferences, events off campus that require transportation, meals and hotel accommodations). Please feel free to contact the OSLA for clarification on what event would require this form firstname.lastname@example.com.
Student organizations at Delaware State University must establish strategic and systematic plans and processes to evaluate the viability of their programs, activities, and events. Policies and procedures outline the internal and external accountability expectations with regard to student learning and guide how the organization can determine learning outcomes. The STUDENT ORGANIZATION MONTHLY ASSESSMENT REPORT allows you to highlight how your club or organization is meeting the goals of your learning outcomes. Please complete the form and submit it to OSLA monthly by the end of the month or during Student Leadership Institute. Questions may be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com or 302-857-6392.
Whether subtle or overt, behaviors demonstrated by student leaders are instrumental in conveying values, guiding strategy, and inspiring passion and interest in other students. When practiced, the effect is far more powerful than merely putting on a program or party. Actions consistently tell the story not only of who you are, but of the behaviors you value.
Student Leadership Institute provides workshops and leadership sessions for students to learn strategies and practices that are honorable and can be easily adopted by all student groups. Students explore methods of leadership development, learn how accountability is needed, and is a core competency to developing them individually and corporately as a leader and a professional. Students learn to make proficient use of campus resources while adhering to safety and risk management policies and procedures with a focus on the well-being of campus and community constituents. Student Leadership Institute sessions complement the goals and objectives of DSU's five core values, and systematically move students from paraprofessional behaviors to strategic leadership behaviors conducive of producing a preferred future.
If you have any questions regarding attendance or general questions about the workshops, please contact the OSLA team at firstname.lastname@example.com or 302-857-6390.

BEIJING, China - On day seven of competition at the National Aquatics Center, the American men came out strong with two world records in the preliminary rounds. Jarrett Perry (Colorado Springs, Colo./Wichita, Kan.) set a world record (1:03.47) in the men's 100m backstroke (S9) and Justin Zook (Plymouth, Minn.) set a world record (1:01.15) in the men's 100m backstroke (S10)
"It was really good, easy swim for me and I know I'll have to go a lot faster tonight," said Perry, who is defending his title from Athens (2004). "I know this is one of my best events. It's the one I really came here to win. I'm going to do everything I can and whoever wins is obviously the better competitor."
"I was out a little slower than I thought but this morning was a good swim," said Zook. "I plan to be a lot faster tonight."
Also ranked in the top three going into finals is Erin Popovich (Fort Collins, Colo./Silverbow, Mont.) in the women's 50m butterfly (S7.) Going after her fifth gold of the Beijing Paralympic Games, the U.S. women's co-captain will be challenged by Min Huang (CHN), who broke the world record in prelims with a time of 34.60, 4.11 seconds ahead of Popovich.
After Saturday morning's preliminary rounds, 14 U.S. athletes advance to the finals, including:
17:06 Men's 100m Backstroke (S12) - Tucker Dupree (Raleigh, N.C.) - 1:04.14 (4)

18:03 Men's 100m Backstroke (S9) - Cody Bureau (Colorado Springs, Colo./Latrobe, Pa.) - 1:06.42 (4)
18:08 Women's 100m Backstroke (S9) - Elizabeth Stone (Grand Rapids, Mich.) - 1:13.52 (4)
18:29 Men's 100m Backstroke (S10) - Justin Zook (Plymouth, Minn.) - 1:01.15 (1, WR)
18:34 Women's 100m Backstroke (S10) - Susan Beth Scott (Colorado Springs, Colo./Cape Girardeau, Mo.) - 1:14.09 (4)

Women's 50m Butterfly (S7) - Deb Gruen (Hamden, Conn.) - 49.19 (13)
"I mainly wanted to go out and get a good swim in, be confident and have speed for tonight. I feel really strong. It's going to be a very tough race tonight. I just have to bring everything I can to the race."
"I'm feeling pretty good about the morning swim. I'm going to get some good rest and hopefully it will be even better tonight."
"This morning I pushed him [teammate Jarrett Perry] in the first 50 [meters]. It was great being right there with him for the race."
"I felt good. It's great for a morning swim. The competition is tough. I'm just going to go out and do my best."
"I found a little better groove this morning. Tonight I will go all out. The competition is getting tougher. The world record I had is nowhere near the records now. That challenges me to work harder to get them again."

Power outage affects Messenger internet

"I didn't have postpartum depression with my first child, just the baby blues for about two to four weeks. But with my second child, things were considerably different," Connie said.
Both of Connie's pregnancy's had been planned, and she thought she knew what to expect for her second child. She was relaxed and excited and ready to add another member to their family. After going through labor for 24 hours, she gave birth to a 9-pound boy, and soon after went home.
But once she was home she began to feel peculiar. " I started to get these very bizarre thoughts in my head very early on."
When her son was 2 weeks old, he developed a lung infection. He recovered, but his doctor told Connie that if the baby had been born premature, he surely would've been killed by it. The difficult thing for Connie, however, was that she had been experiencing her baby's death almost every day since she had given birth.
"I would get these visions of my baby burning in the oven, or drowning in the bathtub, or him falling out the window of our 19th-floor apartment. Then I'd get these physical symptoms, my heart was in my throat, my stomach was churning, my knees were buckling, and suddenly I was having a panic attack; and this was happening on a daily basis."
These thoughts persisted for 15 months, and began to affect her relationship with her children. "Here I am trying not to have these thoughts and be a good parent, and literally thinking about my son dying, I would see his casket, I'd be in a cemetery burying my son every day. I didn't understand why I was doing that. I found it so tough to bond with him, as much as I loved him, it was so tough to watch him die every day, and I felt so bad."
Connie avoided her family, focusing on her job or her studies. But eventually the stress reached a breaking point and Connie hit her 2-year old daughter. She decided she needed help. The only place she could think to turn was the emergency room at the local hospital, where she sat in the waiting room for six hours and cried.
Through a friend, she was put in touch with a therapist, and that therapist helped to open dialogue between Connie and her husband, so Connie could finally begin to open up about all the thoughts and feelings that kept her so isolated.
As she continued with therapy, and began to learn more fully about postpartum depression and understand what was happening to her, her life slowly got better. The most important thing she learned was that she wasn't alone, "To learn that I'm not the only one, to know that I'm not this horrible person that I felt like for so long ... it was amazing the people that were there for me."
Connie is proud to share her story and to know that there are varied forms of support available for women now. "There has to be some intervention, it won't get better on its own. It takes so much energy to keep things inside that you don't have enough energy for your newborn. You need to do it for yourself, for your health; you need to realize it's a mental illness."
Perinatal mood disorders are treatable. But first you have to ask for help.

Until recently, my recollection of the Haymarket Riot is as follows:
Me, age 15 in the high school library looking over microfiche and taking notes on note cards as had been suggested by our US History teacher. As prickly as he was hilarious, he had a ruler he thwatted against the table and black board for emphasis. He made Republican jokes and I was very proud of the notes I took in his class. I used a variety of colors, more for aesthetic presence than any sort of code. He said once the only reason he became a teacher was because he always liked his teachers and wanted to be similarly liked. He said once he'd started teaching he realized it was only the good students that liked you and there weren't very many of them. I wanted to be a good student. Actually, I was passable.
To be fair, I only chose to write about the Haymarket Riot because "riot" was in the topic title. And, actually, I do not remember much about my research. I remember being interested in how people managed to organize under such exhausted, alienating conditions. I remember being surprised at the conditions under which they worked; for instance, that previous to the riot people worked more than 8hrs a day on the regular. But aside from that I only recall my preoccupation with not plagiarizing and using a variety of pens to make my note cards handsome. The rest of that paper is a blur.
The older I get the more I discover blind spots like these—details that slipped past the guards of my younger memory.
Today, May 4th 2011, marks the proper 125th anniversary of the Haymarket Riot. On Saturday, April 30th Paul Durica's well-loved A Pocket Guide To Hell partnered with the Illinois Labor History Society, Version 11: Community, the Haymarket Pub & Brewery, Drinking & Writing Theater, and the Fulton District Association to stage a reenactment of those 1886 events. There were two groups. One, the one I was a part of, met at the Haymarket Brewery to get dressed up participate as police. The other, the anarchists and attendees, gathered at Randolph and Desplaines where a history was read and performed from a predetermined script. I can't speak for what happened in the square before our arrival, so I'll just give you a play-by-play of my experience.
My first tweet @10:59 AM: 125th anniversary of Haymarket Riot leads to Haymarket Reenactment 2day! 2pm at Randolph and Halsted. #pocketguidetohell
We had a Green Lantern squad. A merry band of buddies met me at the bar where we were given black coats, hats, and asked if we'd prefer to be wounded or have cap guns. I chose to be wounded and a small gold sticker was put on my shoulder. I was given a captain's hat, as someone who had organized other volunteers. I admired a woman's moustache, went to the bathroom and had second thoughts about whether or not I'd rather shoot a cap gun. Maybe I didn't want to get wounded after all. I hadn't pretended to do anything (publicly) in so long, the adolescent part of my brain bit my adult lip with consternation.
I decided to stay the course.
I decided I'd enact a stomach wound. I practiced, quietly, grasping my abdomen, imagining how I would fall down.
I very much liked my captain's hat.
Second Tweet @2:22: Can finally call myself Captain Picard#haymarketreenactment
Coming back to the main room I couldn't recognize my party because everyone wore the same black coats. The room was filling up rapidly. A waiter came around with a tray full of very small beers. I had one and found my people. Environmental Encroachment started to play by the door—a punk marching band cut from the same cloth as Mucca Pazza. Hearing them made me happy because EE had played in the first Green Lantern about five years ago during some crazy circus house-cat performance (don't ask).
While I've never been one to fully embrace the mystical significance of synchronicity, I have always taken some comfort in our ability to return to themes.
Similarly, I started thinking about that first paper I wrote. I started thinking about how much my understanding of historical sequence has improved. I did not have enough context when I wrote that paper as Sophomore year. Of course, you have to start somewhere but as a 15 year-old the 1700s seemed as far away as the 1800s. It was like I experienced a temporal parallax from my 1996 co-ordinate. I had no means with which to conceptually measure those temporal distances. Now, 15 years later, I have a deeper sense of consequence and a better understanding of how one thing leads to another. 20 years is a literal distance that I've already traveled. Or, for another example, I understand how modernism lead to post-modernism. Nevertheless, the understanding of my 30 old-self is still based on an intellectual apprehension. History is still not present to me. Even thinking through all of the recent revolutions and protests, from Cairo to Madison: there is a way where people are active in the present for deep ideals which may be incongruous with the hierarchical structures in which they are embedded. I'm thinking also of England, where students have been protesting almost constantly about the need for free education. By participating in this reenactment on Randolph and Desplains, I had an opportunity to internalize my own history so that my understanding wasn't simply intellectual, but became a muscle memory.
Someone stood up on a stool and gave us instructions. We were to march in a group around the block to a parking lot across the bridge.
Third Tweet @2:47: Those who are wounded fall and hurt. You know who you are." #haymarketreenactment
In the parking lot more attempts were made to organize the police. We were instructed to form lines, 24 across and 8 deep. We were at least 2 more sets of 8 going back. And it was a great crowd. One of the things I love about Chicago is the way a multifarious group of people working under the larger umbrella of cultural action (here I'd include DIY movie theaters, artspaces, publications, activist groups) can come together to participate in another group action. Certainly we've been seeing a lot of that lately, for instance with the MDWY Fair. The Haymarket Reenactment was no exception. Organizations like Quimby's, The Dil Pickle Club, The Nightingale, Columbia College, featherproof, Quickies, Dance Dance Dance Party, Stop Smiling, MAKE Magazine and others all had their own squad of 6+ people. Further, within the confines that Durica prescribed people were also able to enjoy themselves. There was a built-in chaos or disorder that had been accounted for. It was most apparent in the parking lot where we waited. The lines deteriorated slightly. It was hot. People made jokes about the sun finally coming out at last after so much winter.
Fourth Tweet @ 2:56: People have started speaking old timey #haymarketreenactment
When at last, we began to walk down the street we started to march. It was an unplanned development but we stomped our feet in unison while simultanesouly thwacking our costume-issued gray, styrofoam pool-noodle clubs. I suspect a similar movement took hold of the original police;Â approaching a large mass of people will always be intimidating and if you're assuming any kind of authority you need all the help you can get. Sharing a drum beat from your feet works pretty well. We could see a massive group of people standing in the middle of Des Plaines. There was a road block. Proper police stopped traffic to let us pass and someone opened the street barrier so that we, as a group (still in lines somehow), could walk into the middle of the throng. An anarchist in a vest spoke to us through the microphone by the Haymarket cart.
What was said/The Transcript no. 1:
The POLICE march up Desplaines to the Wagon, forcing spectators and workers north. WILLIAM WARD approaches FIELDEN.
WARD: I command you, in the name of the State of Illinois, to immediately and peaceably disperse.
FIELDEN: We are peaceable.
WARD: I command you and you to assist.
EdMar made his way to the front, and waved his gloved hand in a queen's wave. Someone threw a dusty cloth up in to the air. It was white and it burst into a small smoke. There was the sound of a bomb. This was our signal. I began my death scene. A number of cap guns went off. Photographs scrambled to take pictures. I heard others groaning.
What was said/The Transcript no. 2:
THE HISTORIAN: No more than 5 minutes elapsed between the explosion and the last gunshot. No one knows who threw the bomb. No one knows how many workers and spectators who wounded or killed. The wounded along with the wounded police, 60 or so in number, were taken back to the Desplaines Station. One officer, Mathias Degan, died instantly from his injuries; seven others died later.
Fifth Tweet @3:34: Definitely died. Feel great. Still have to pee. #haymarketreenactment
The reenactment continued in a kind of fast forward over subsequent events. Most of the police who were wounded were wounded by friendly fire. Police started to sit up or stand up in order to listen and watch the performance. A mock execution was held. We listened to their last words.
What was said/The Transcript no. 3:
The actor who plays WILLIAM WARD is now SHERRIFF MATSON. He approaches the remaining 4 men who now stand with hands clasped behind their backs. After each speaks, he puts a hood over their heads. Parsons is cut-off mid-sentence. MATSON makes a gesture with his hand and the 4 drop their heads.
SPIES: The day will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you strangle today.
ENGEL: (in German) Hurray for anarchy. Hurray for anarchy.
FISCHER: Hurray for anarchy. This is the happiest moment of my life.
PARSONS: Will I be allowed to speak, oh men of America? Let me speak, Sheriff Matson. Let the Voice
of the People be heard! O—
MATSON and the 4 men receded into the crowd. The WORKERS hold up a sign reading June 25, 1893.
This is the way we fast forwarded through time: by signs held up with dates on them. In this way, a narrative was enacted, such that the consequences of the riot were brought to their conclusion.
What was said/The Transcript no. 4:
LUCY PARSONS (Alma Washington): My children and I were not allowed to see Albert the morning he was murdered. We were arrested outside the jailhouse. Thousands lined the streets as the bodies of the 5 men made the journey to Waldheim Cemetery. On June 25, 1893 a memorial was dedicated to them. The next day Gov. Altgeld pardoned Schwab, Fielden, and Neebe. The fight for the 8 hr. day continued. The fight for a just and better world continues.
I was not there with my husband in his final hours. I was later told that on the eve of his execution, around midnight, alone in his cell, he sang his favorite song, our favorite song, "Anna Laurie.â€
Finally I got up from my death pose. We were all lead in song after that; we sang "Les Marseillaise."
Paul Durica started making his own speech, stating in particular what became my sixth tweet.
Sixth Tweet @3:42: Paul Durica: "History is a public space. It belongs to all of us." #haymarketreenactment
It might seem tiresome, in some way, to include those transcripts. I did so, however, to help frame the whole experience. To show how much thought and effort went into the architecture of the event. It had been in the works since November and a ton of people participated to make it happen. To me the experience created a different rubric for education. By participating in a reenactment like this, one is directly implicated in the action of history. Furthermore, at least for me, I felt pretty carefree throughout all of it. I don't think I was taking it seriously, exactly, swept up as I was in the energy of a group. Yet suddenly, I found myself hearing the script, hearing that only one policeman died on the scene. Realizing that I probably would not have been that policeman (despite my dramatic pose). I bumped into historical accuracy in such a way that, I expect, I will always remember those dead and wounded. Furthermore, when I climbed back up from my pose on the street, I heard four speeches as bags were placed on four people's heads. It was suddenly somber. The subsequent speakers had an earnestness about them which I'm not sure I would have appreciated had I not been so cavalier before—because suddenly everything felt real and I was overwhelmed with a tactile experience of how our lives today have been so directly impacted by this short historical blip.

Log in
It's winter, and though there's no snow on the ground right now in late December, we can pretty much assume that it will get cold and snowy sometime soon. Why not check out some of these new children's books about winter, get cozy with a cup of cocoa, and read?
I See Winter by Charles Ghigna and Henry Goes Skating by B.B .Bourne both celebrate winter activities—snowmen, sleds and skates. In more of a folktale vein and for slightly older children is The Wind that Wanted to Rest by Sheldon Oberman. Lovely illustrations complement the story.
A chapter book and part of a series is Good luck, Anna Hibiscus by Atinuke. Young Anna goes from her native Africa to Canada to visit her grandmother. It's cold and snowy there, and new adventures and experiences await Anna.
Spring, summer, fall and winter—your library is a great resource year round!

Some Like It Hot - Page 3
Q: You've done a lot of running in the Grand Canyon. What is the allure?
Easy access helps! We're a 90-minute drive from the trailhead. The Canyon has an allure and power that's hard to describe. I've had some of my greatest and most fond running efforts in the Canyon, but also some of my most devastating and desperate times as well.
Q: Highlights of your R2R2R FKT?
One of the highlights was the 28 miles north of Phantom Ranch. The road to the north rim hadn't yet opened, and the trail was eerily void of others, adding to the sense of vulnerability and loneliness. It also allowed me to fall into a deeply focused mindset and run very strong and comfortably during those miles.
Q: What other running accomplishments are you proud of?
The 2012 Moab Red Hot 33k was the stepping stone for my transition to trails and my return to racing. It was my first race in two-and-a-half years and followed a long recovery from surgery when I'd given up the hope of ever running easily with friends, let alone racing competitively again. Running strong and winning that race was unexpected. I wasn't even running at the time, and my training was solely skinning and skiing the mountain here in Flagstaff. But it opened my eyes to the possibilities.
Q: What is your athletic/running/racing background?
I participated in cross country, track, water polo and badminton in high school, and triathlons in the summers, and went to Triathlon World Champs in 1994 and 1995.
Q: How did you get into trail running?
After hitting the roads in 2007 and 2008, my body had had enough and led to injuries and eventually my foot surgery. Trails are much kinder to my body and after the long recovery from surgery and my run in Moab, the trails seemed to beckon me. I appreciate the more laid-back nature of both trail races and those who participate in them, such a friendlier and less stressful niche of running.
Q: How did you evolve into running ultras last year?
Unexpectedly! I had some friends traveling to the Bootlegger 25K/50K in November and decided to join initially for the 25K and at the last moment hopped in the 50K to see what would happen. I really enjoyed the experience [he came in second behind Jason Wolfe]. From there it really snowballed and after another really strong winter of skinning and skiing and a strong race at the Leone Divide 50-miler [a win], I decided to take the plunge and commit to Western States.
Q: What is your training like?
I'm putting in 60-to-100-mile, six-day training weeks. Slower, easier efforts mostly, and no workouts thus far this year. Lots of the little things count—circuits twice a week, stretching, foam rolling, icing, eating healthy, respecting sleep as much as I can with my overnight work schedule, listening to both mind and body and taking an extra day off when needed.

Release date: 8/1/2013
Chapel Hill: A landlord who failed to maintain and return security deposits must repay renters and reform his ways, Attorney General Roy Cooper said today.
Cooper filed suit against Ware Investments, LCC and its managing officer, James Ware Kelley, of Chapel Hill last week, seeking to stop their deceptive practices and win money back for student renters. He is asking the courts to require Kelley and his company to repay tenants' security deposits and also pay civil penalties to the state.
"Some landlords need to be taught a lesson," Cooper said. "The law on security deposits is clear and they must follow it."
As alleged in Cooper's complaint, Kelley and his company rent residential properties to university students in Chapel Hill and Durham. They collected security deposits from tenants, which were then deposited in personal or regular business accounts instead of being placed into a separate trust account as required by law. When tenants' leases ended, Ware Investments and Kelley withheld tenants' security deposits and did not provide a written record of any charges for which their deposits had been used.
An example illustrates how Kelley and Ware Investments have failed to abide by the law when it comes to security deposits. Two students rented an apartment from the defendant in Chapel Hill, and both wrote checks for security deposits when they signed a lease in March, 2011. Documents show that Kelley then deposited their security deposit checks into a regular business checking account rather than a designated trust account as required by law. When the roommates moved out in July, 2012, Kelley failed to return their security deposits or otherwise account for them, even after receiving a demand letter from the renters' attorney.
Kelley and his company have been sued repeatedly by tenants in Orange County courts for similar problems, and plaintiffs in those cases have succeeded.
"Across the state, many college students will soon be moving into apartments for the new school year, and we want first-time renters to know their rights so they can avoid getting ripped off," Cooper said.
To prevent problems getting your security deposit back:

Still have no power from Hurricane Irene last week. I will be watching the game to the amazing sound of my new price gouged 5KW generator. Not crazy about running on generator power for 18 hours, so I will probably watch tOSU game then shut off the generator until 8pm for the LSU v Oregon game.
Connecticut Lighting and Power has botched the recovery from Irene at a level that makes old "Brownie" look nearly competent. Good thing this was just a tropical storm (40mph winds) when it hit up here. Had we seen 75-90MPH winds we were supposed to get we may have had to abandon the state for good. Hell, I sat through Hurricane George in Guantanamo in 1998 or 99 which was a Cat5 Hurricane that ran right over top of us (eye and everything) and we recovered all facilities in 3 days.

Southwest General Receives "Grade A" Hospital Safety Rating
Middleburg Heights, OH (June 7, 2012) – It's a "Grade A" for Southwest General when it comes to hospital safety. The Leapfrog Group, along with a panel of national hospital safety experts, announced earlier this week its top scoring hospitals in its new initiative, Hospital Safety Score SM report.
The Hospital Safety Score report ranks hospitals on preventable safety issues, such as infections acquired in the hospital, bedsores or medication errors. The report is the first to use a letter grading system to help consumers compare local hospitals' safety records.
"It's The Leapfrog Group's goal to give patients the information they need and deserve before even entering a hospital," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "We congratulate the hospitals that earned an 'A' and we look forward to the day when all hospitals in the U.S. will earn the highest scores for putting patient safety first."
The Hospital Safety Score uses national performance measures from The Leapfrog Hospital Survey, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to produce a single score representing a hospital's overall performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors.
Additionally, secondary data from the American Hospital Association's Annual Survey was used to give hospitals as much credit as possible toward their safety score. The Hospital Safety Score includes 26 measures, all currently in use by national measurement and reporting programs.
"Being recognized as an A-graded hospital for patient safety is a resounding endorsement of the quality work being done here at Southwest General," said Marilyn McNamara, MD, vice president, Medical Affairs, Southwest General. "We strive every day not only to live out the mission of our hospital but also to continue to provide a safe and healing environment for our patients. I congratulate everyone at Southwest General for helping us to receive this outstanding recognition."
As patient care can typically start at the Emergency Room (ER) doors, earlier in 2012, Southwest General's ER was ranked among the top five percent in the nation, according to HealthGrades, a national hospital ratings organization. Southwest General is the only hospital on the West Side of Cleveland to receive the Emergency Medicine Excellence Hospital designation from HealthGrades—the third year in a row Southwest General has earned the award.
For more information—or an interview with a Southwest General executive—on Southwest General's
A-grade patient safety rating, call Caroline Fienga, media specialist, at 440-816-6723.

'Bully' documentary coming to Orpheum
The director of the Orpheum said she is honored that the Superintendent of the Sioux City school district, featured in the film "Bully," will be present during a discussion following the film.
The theater will show "Bully" 7 p.m. Jan. 24. The film follows high school students in Iowa, Texas, Mississippi and Oklahoma during the 2009 school year.
"It's a poignant expose of the day-to-day reality of bullying in our schools in all its ugliness," Pip Gordon, Orpheum director said. "It is also a powerful reminder that we can help alleviate bullying in our schools."
Marshalltown High School Principal Aiddy Phomvisay will facilitate a discussion following the movie. Paul Gausman, superintendent of the Sioux City School district, will be present for the discussion. Gausman was a keynote speaker on bullying at Gov. Terry Branstad's anti-bullying summit in Des Moines.
Gordon said the opportunity to have the subject of a film to be discussed sitting in the room is a rarity. She called Gausman an authority on the subject of bullying.
His words carry the weight of having lived through a difficult ordeal and being able to come up with solutions to such a problem. His experience should prove useful to Marshalltown as it continues its Not In Our Town campaign in an attempt to stamp out bullying, Gordon said.
Only 152 tickets are available. Gordon encouraged those wanting to attend to call in advance to get tickets.

Prom dress memories priceless
April 17, 2008
I see the little black dress dangling from a hanger in my daughter's closet. I see the shimmering rhinestones making an elegant pattern across the otherwise bare back. I close my eyes and sense memories it will hold:
Memories of prom ... Laura's senior-year prom.
On Saturday night, my hita goes to her senior prom. It's only one in a handful of emotional events signaling the end of Laura's high school days and a newfound freedom that expectantly will come as she and my niece, Crystal, cross these milestones.
I've been thinking about that little black dress these past few days. It will be the center of attention as Laura prepares for prom night at Portales High School.
It's often said every woman should have a basic black dress in her wardrobe. It's an essential. But I know this one will be particularly special, and I believe it will have memories to tell someday.
This little black dress was the very first dress Laura spotted at the very first dress shop we walked into in the South Plains Mall in Lubbock during spring break. We had only taken a few steps into the main entrance, walked into the fashion store, and there it was.
Laura's eyes were immediately drawn to it. She tried it on and made her mind that was the dress she wanted to wear to prom. That rarely happens. Normally, shopping for even one outfit for Laura requires a day walking up and down the mall.
I'm usually the one tapping my toes, looking at the time, telling Laura to just make up her mind about an outfit. But this time, I was taken by surprise. I was like, "Don't you want to look around at the other stores? You might find something else you like better?"
"Maybe something even cheaper!" I thought as I looked at the price. I also tried to use the zipper as an excuse. It had a snag, a small pinch of material stuck in the zipper, and I could just vision the trauma, the horrific nightmare that this problematic zipper could pose on Laura's big night.
Laura was still determined, but so was I. This sounded too good to be true. So I insisted we look at the other shops, and then if she didn't find something she liked better, we'd come back. At the back of my mind, I knew we wouldn't be back, but Laura still asked the sales lady to hold the dress, which she gladly did. She even offered to find another dress of the same style with a better zipper. That wasn't going to happen either, I thought. Laura wears a a size 2.
As you probably guessed by now, we walked the whole mall and Laura did not find any other must-have dresses. Her heart was set on the little black dress. I must say the selection was limited. Easter egg colors, including a bright lemon yellow, seemed to be in this year.
Before going back for the little black dress though, we even went to a few bridal and formal occasion shops outside of the mall. Yes, it is legal to do that.
But even after many hours of looking elsewhere, Laura insisted on getting the little black dress, and by this time, it was starting to get dark and I wanted to have something to show for the day we spent hunting for the perfect dress.
When we got back to the first store, the clerk informed Laura that she had found another little black dress in her size, with a perfect zipper.
"Sold!" I thought aloud. I then watched Laura's eyes sparkle as the clerk carefully wrapped a protective covering over the little black dress. As I wrote out the check ... it was a little more than I wanted to pay at the time ... I blurted out to Laura, "This will be a good dress to wear to a wedding or other special occasion!"
I knew, though, that the memories created in that dress, on prom night alone, would be priceless.

Topic: acts_as_urlnameable
This is thankfully the beginner's section because this is probably a really dumb question
What exactly does this plugin do? The documentation basically just says:
Simple usage:
Setting the url name
The usage that will work for 80% of cases is this:class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_urlnameable :title
This will format the value of the title attribute of the record to one suitable for use in a URL and save it.
I assumed this meant it would allow a URL like this
to become
Where "my_name" comes from a property on the Model that had acts_as_urlnameable applied to it. Like if we were making a forum and we wanted to look at one member's profile, the url could become "/profile/view/bob", replacing User.id with User.name -- which looks really nice.
But I installed the plugin and played with it, and I couldn't get it to do anything. If it doesn't do what I assumed it does, is there a plugin that does?

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: How can you improve on a winning formula? Wonderful, including the weather for my third year runningDate of review: May 18, 2015
In short: A great race with added bluebellsIn full: I AM commenting on the 10k, even though the web page says family 6k walk. I agree with all the positive comments everyone else has made,it is a fabulous run, but next year could you make the finish line a bit more obvious? Was the finish at the whippy flag or the table where your number and time were recorded? Date of review: May 12, 2014
In short: Nice to do a 2-lap race for a change!In full: The only bad bit was trying to cross the road from Gordon's School to the common, across the busy A322 - they should rethink that for next year. Apart from that, a nice friendly crowd, very well marshalled, a pleasingly old-fashioned approach to timing, with watches and clipboards rather than chips. Lovely undulating course, with no nasty surprises, so you could look forward to the second lap rather than feel horrified at having to DO IT ALL AGAIN! I would come back again.Date of review: December 16, 2013
In short: Could have done without the ploughed fields at the startIn full: Friendly atmosphere, well-organised and well-signed, lots and lots of marshals, many of them small and very pleasant even when standing on windy drizzly open hilltops. The first three+ miles through the fields on level ground were harder than the hilly bits, particularly running across furrows for two fields,really could have done with trail shoes. The one proper hill coming straight after that seemed much harder than it should have. Thereafter, nice undulating course around grassy fields and over the tops of the hills, great fun bouncing down the several long steep slopes, meant I had enough reserve for a sprint finish! Nice family atmosphere, with whole families turning up, cheering on friends and taking part in their age group's races. Good fun and good value.Date of review: September 16, 2013
In short: Great atmosphere, very well organised, beautiful sceneryIn full: After renaming it from the Bluebell Run (because the previous 2 years the flowers haven't stuck to their schedule, I assume) this year there were acres of bluebells - glorious! Enough to distract from the tough course - nor really big hills, just endless ups and downs but still beautiful. Loved the charming tiny marshals, the jellybabies at 6k, the little signs to make you laugh on the kilometre markers and the bacon butties especially. Thanks to the lovely man (Dave?) who stood at the last bend and said there were only 100 yards to go - that really lit the afterburners! It was my daughter's first 10k and she couldn't have had a better experience. And she beat me! So we're definitely coming back for a re-match.Date of review: May 20, 2013
In short: Muddy, hard and fun! Wettest race I've ever run, felt like I'd got into a Grim run by mistake.In full: If it had been a rugby match it would have been cancelled due to waterlogged pitch, but as it was you had time to get used to soaked feet way before the start because ALL the grass was more or less under water. Started by running down a (paddy) field, listening to every one squeaking and splashing through more or less water, then settled down to the usual lovely variety of woodland paths (deeply muddy or churned up), sandy bridleways (even they were puddly) and grassy bits (aka bogs). Highlight: that lovely downhill to Watts Gallery. Low spot (not literally): plodding up that ploughed field to the top of the Hog's Back, seems to get longer every year! It wasn't the run I'd expected, but what a lot of fun!Date of review: November 5, 2012
In short: Hard, very hilly, very muddy, grow bigger lungs! Also rehydrate and refuel like mad afterwards.In full: No description of this could possibly live up to the sheer muddy, breakneck, lung-bursting fun of the experience. Very little of this was level (well, that's how it felt) and the level bits were pretty muddy and often in trenches. The downhills were fantastic, really bounding descents. The uphills - well, I have never done an event where I've seen so many people walk for so much of the time. St Martha's hill (the steep way) made me think of ladders. An inspired touch to put a photograher just beyond the top if that ascent! Good, no-fuss organisation. The shakes were lovely, although necking a cold shake on a cold morning didn't agree with me.I would love to do this event again with either spikes or dry weather for the week before it.Maybe in June, once I've forgotten how absolutely wrecked I felt at the end of it.Date of review: February 15, 2011
In full: My first cross-country, and it will be hard to beat. Fabulous route, lovely scenery, just hilly enough. The uphills were never viciously hard and the downhills were glorious, with surfaces good enough that you could fling yourself down with complete abandon. Very varied too, including sandy and stony tracks and bridlepaths, tarmac, grass and a ploughed field. The numbers of people and the width of the paths did mean that you had to slow down sometimes, but that was compensated by the big hill up a ploughed field and the big downhill stretch on a public (but traffic-free) road. What an absolutely wonderful route! I'll definitely try it again.Date of review: November 8, 2010
In short: Terrain from smooth to rough to muddyIn full: Thi is my second time on this course, and the pebbly bits were a bit slippery (we were warned at the start), but there weren't as many muddy puddles as last year. Organisation was good; although arriving after 9am meant a longish queue for the loos I still managed to do that, register and drop my bag off by 9.25. I thought the post-run massage tables were a lovely touch - I've got my name down for one next year! The scenery is very nice, but the rough running surface in many places gave me no tome to look at it. Talked to a first-timer who said what a lovely friendly atmosphere there was, which I think sums it up. Oh - and I set a new PB, 5 minutes quicker than this event in 2009!Date of review: October 19, 2010
In short: A bit of a shambles, too few loos, registration did NOT stop at the specified time so start was late. Course was nice but half of it was run up a busy road which included traffic turning across the route and dodging roadworks. In full: There was no PA, so if you weren't in the right place you didn't know the race had started because there was no starting gun/horn either. There were too few loos, not enough staff for registration so it took ages, twice as many people seemed to have entered as were specified. The first part of the course was up a busy road, as detailed above. The end was a joke - you could not get off the Finish mat because everyone who'd finsihed ahead of you was penned into the run-off area, God knows why! Apparently to receive T-shirts and medals. Competitors who'd finshed earlier had to hand out drinks and bananas while the (very few) marshals struggled to deal with medals, t-shirts and bag return.Date of review: November 9, 2009

This kid is rising fast in the WR rankings based on his meds checking out and his speed and strength.
A lot of people have him immediately able to step on field as legit #2 with ceiling high enough to be a number one in a couple years. Anywhere from late first through 3rd I would imagine, depending on needs and how teams see him.

Highlighted by the London 2012 Paralympic Games, called the greatest Games ever by International Paralympic Committee President Sir Philip Craven, 2012 was a thrilling year for the Paralympic Movement in the United States and around the globe. Records were broken and legacies were made. From Dec. 20-31, USParalympics.org will unveil the Top 12 moments of 2012 for U.S. Paralympics in chronological order.
The men's 100 meter (T44) final of the London 2012 Paralympics Games had been dubbed the "Race of the Games". It lived up to the hype, as hometown favorite Jonnie Peacock of Great Britain squeaked out the victory over 21-year-old Richard Browne, an relatively unknown sprinter from Jackson, Miss.
Peacock, who set the world record in July, set the Paralympic record in London, finishing in 10.90. Browne was close behind with a personal best time of 11.03. South Africa's Arnu Fourie was third at 11.08.
The event had been one of the most anticipated events of the Games, not surprising considering the lineup which featured a who's who of Paralympic superstars, any of whom could have medaled in the event. But Browne, making his international debut, was not expected to be a factor.
Racing alongside the three eventual medalists were defending Paralympic champion in the men's 100 Oscar Pistorius, also the first amputee to run in the Olympic Games, and Brazil's Alan Fonteles Cardoso Oliveira, who already upset Pistorius by winning the 200m (T44) title earlier in the Games.
In July, American Blake Leeper tied the men's 100m (T43) world record held by Pistorius, securing his place among the podium favorites. And there was reigning world champion Jerome Singleton, the American billed as "the fastest amputee" in the years before the Games.
A mere two years after his amputation, Browne was standing with the fastest Paralympic field ever.
Given the pool of talent, the race had all the makings of a historic event and it most certainly was.
The race was full of drama right from the start as Brazil's Oliveira false started on the initial start, a move that threw some of the racers off, including Leeper who was favored to medal.
"It's hard when you get held and held and held (by the starter), but it is what it is," said Leeper.
Racers were also jilted by deafening chants for Peacock.
But for Browne, it was exactly what he needed to prevail for the podium.
"There were 80,000 people, all screaming 'Peacock!' in unison," Browne remembered. "It actually calmed me down, because I realized that I had no pressure—he did."
Once resetting, there was no turning back for the sprinters.
The race was quick from the start but soon thereafter became a two-person race as Peacock and Browne pulled away from the field just after the halfway point, something Browne noticed right away and used as fuel to push him through to the finish.
"I knew Jonnie would get out," said Browne, who prior to tonight had already raced Peacock four other times this year. "Once I saw that I was still in second with 40 meters to go I just told myself to stay strong and hold my form."
Browne did in fact hold his form as he closed in on Peacock who held a slight lead throughout the race. Despite this huge effort from Browne however, Peacock was able to keep the American at bay after realizing how close Browne was to overtaking him.
"My drive phase is probably the best it's ever been in the race," said Peacock, who holds the world record in the T44 class. "At about 60 meters I started to think 'Oh crap, I'm in the lead'. I felt the guys closing in and I felt I lost a bit of top speed."
Richard Browne celebrates on the podium at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
As soon as Peacock and Browne crossed the line, the stadium exploded with noise, reaching decibel levels not yet heard at these Games. Now Peacock has the title of the world's fastest amputee.
Americans Leeper (11.21) and Singleton (11.25) were fifth and sixth.
For Browne, who went from an unknown to a superstar in 11.03, the noise, atmosphere and realization that he had just won a Paralympic silver medal in the biggest race of his life was surreal.
"This was the biggest crowd I have ever seen in my life and they are all out here to support us, it's just so amazing," said a teary-eyed Browne after the race. "I don't know how to explain it right now because I am getting emotional as it is starting to set in…to represent the United States of America on the podium tonight is absolutely amazing".
Browne almost did not make the trip to London because his uncle Gary was fatally stabbed the day before he boarded his plane. To honor his family, Browne raced with a sock covered in skull and crossbone motif and ringed in bright pink on his left leg, a rather bold fashion statement pulled all the way up to his knee.
"There were nine skulls for my nine brothers and sisters, 'cause they're my world," he said. "And the pink was to honor my grandmother who was fighting cancer."
Browne's grandmother Jean lost her battle the day after Browne returned home to Mississippi.
At a time when others may have had a heavy heart, Browne soared.

You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

For instance - If you keep banging your head against the wall, sure you can take some tylenol to mask the symptom of banging your head against the wall, but banging your head against the wall is the actual problem
Is it jogging that's hurting your knees? Possibly bad stride?
What is actually causing your knees to hurt? When do they hurt? I'd hate for you to take a supplement, but still continue with the activity that's hurting your knees. Please advise

However, Mike is on the right track with his post. Covering the pain doesn't solve the problem. Talk to your doctor about the knee pains and let him give you an accurate diagnosis, rather than having us keyboard medics try to help you. It may just be random, isolated incidents, but it could also be the beginning stages of something much worse.
If you need some motivation to talk to your doctor, read this and tell me if you would want to be in this position:
I started getting pain in my right knee once in a while when I was running. I didn't think anything of it. After a couple of years of this, my random pains became normal, every day pains while running. I still didn't think anything of it. I just popped a few pain killers and went about my life. After another couple of years, I finally twisted my knee and caused my kneecap to dislocate. Had X-rays and an MRI done, and found out that I have a torn medial meniscus, and my femur and tibia have been rubbing together for the better part of 4 years. Unless I get surgery, I'm told that in 5 years, I won't be able to run without extreme pain. And to cap it off, I'm only 23 years old.
You make your decision.

Any other Camp Krusty goers out there?
It's my favorite day of the summer... if not year!
For those unaware, Camp Krusty is a $40 all-you-can-consume benefit for the Malachi House, and is basically a big ol' party at Whiskey Island every August, 1,500 strong. We've been going for maybe 5 years now, and even have people come in from out of town every year for it.
I encourage anyone with no plans this Saturday to check it out!
