With a first patient entering a federally-approved human embryonic stem cell safety trial Monday, we asked Johns Hopkins University stem cell expert Candace Kerr to comment on the news:
1. What would you tell spinal cord patients about news that a safety study looking at human embryonic stem cells has started? Is this good news?
This trial is a pivotal step forward for understanding how human embryonic stem cells will be able to treat patients with SCI. Importantly, patients should expect that this is just a first step of many that will be required for such a consuming affliction.
2. How promising is the approach that Geron reports in this trial? What are key hurdles or challenges it might face from your viewpoint? What approaches do you see as more, or equally, promising?
It is critical that this trial will test for the first time how human derived stem cells behave in patients. Without knowing the specifics it still appears that cell tracking and cell function will be difficult to determine in live patients. These features will be important to assess whether injected cells move out of the spinal cord or whether they replace and perform the function of the cells damaged by SCI. For instance, many ongoing clinical trials with human mesenchymal stem cells have shown short-term improvement only, and that the improvement is caused by factors the injected cells secrete that help in the recovery of the patient's own tissue or by reducing damage caused by inflammatory responses from the immune system.
3. What would you tell patients who want to explore a clinical trial such as this one?
Patients should go into these trials understanding that its purpose is to determine whether the transplantations are safe. The purpose of Geron's animal trials where these cells were tested for FDA approval would have included studying any adverse effects. Main adverse effects would be uncontrolled growth of cells which may lead to tumors or movement of the transplanted cells out of the spinal cord into other areas of the body.
In addition, patients would need to understand that they may not see any immediate benefits or recovery, while nonetheless, these trials will provide invaluable information that will pioneer the field of stem cell based therapies. Not just SCI but for other neurological disorders like MS and ALS, where these cells also play a significant role in the disease.
4. Is it worth reporting the news in this news release to our readers, or it is unfairly raising expectations just to report it? Why, or why not?
I do not believe you will be able to ignore this story as it unfolds as many are anticipating a significant outcome from this trial. Whether justifiably so or not, this trial will put the clinical utility of these cells in perspective for not just SCI but for other afflictions, as well. Many believe that until we can show clinical benefit of these cells, their utility and justification for studying them will constantly be under public scrutiny and skepticism. It is important to understand that the purpose of this trial is safety. So what does that really mean? The patients receiving treatment for this trial have the most severe levels of SCI in which they have complete loss of functional and sensory output in the lower torso.
Thus, the level of damage may be so severe that the strategy as it is tested for the first time in this trial may not overcome all the obstacles associated with such severe injury or that only minor recovery is achieved.
If this occurs the greatest injustice will be to report that the cells do not work. I think this is where scientists are holding their breath, that "what if" lack of improvement will be reported and seen by the public as a failure. This may not be the case at all in that it may significantly improve less severe levels of injury or with improvements in the implementation of the cell based strategy along with other drugs this may produce improved outcomes in further studies.
5. Are there any key points, or other information worth noting, in a news report about this? Geron's position in the hESC universe has always been interesting to people in the field, but not something the general reader can appreciate, for example.
Geron's investment in making this clinical trial happen attests to the importance of government funding to support this type of research. For instance, only a handful of laboratories, including our own have demonstrated the ability to generate this specific cell type used in Geron's trial from human embryonic stem cells. Therefore, it is essential that federal funding remain an integral part of supporting the endeavors of nonprofit institutions to study how to grow and to generate the specific cell types from human embryonic stem cells.

Kahlig sets school, league records
Collegiate Check-up
Friday, March 14, 2014 7:56 AM
Greg Kahlig scored at least 39 points in three of the final four games of the regular season. As it turned out, that was just the tip of the oil well.
The 2010
Fort Recovery High School
graduate blew those numbers away Saturday in the semifinal round of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament, amassing a league-record 55 points to lead the University of Findlay men's basketball team to a 104-74 victory over Walsh.
The NCAA Division II No. 21 Oilers (24-5) went on to win their third straight tournament title. They will open play in the NCAA Division II National Tournament at 9:30 p.m. Saturday against No. 25 Lake Superior State in Springfield, Mo.
Kahlig caught fire against Walsh, hitting eight 3-pointers and scoring 26 points in the opening 20 minutes. He set a school record with 10 3-pointers for the game while shooting 19-of-28 from the field and hitting all of his seven free-throw attempts.
He added two assists and a steal.
Kahlig went on to record team highs of 22 points and eight rebounds Sunday as Findlay topped Michigan Tech 69-63 in the GLIAC tournament title game. He also had four assists and a steal.
He set GLIAC Tournament records for points (93) and field goals made (31), and tied the record for 3-pointers with 15.
With his tournament scoring, the senior jumped to fourth on Findlay's all-time list with 1,855 career points. He ranks fourth in the nation in scoring at 24.6 points per game.
Neal Fennig
Jay County – 2011
Competed for the Ball State University men's swim team, which finished sixth out of seven squads Saturday at the Mid-American Conference Championships.
Fennig's top individual effort came in the 200-yard freestyle as he placed 19th in 1 minute, 43.3 seconds. He was also 23rd in the 500 freestyle and 27th in the 100 freestyle.
The junior was involved in a pair of sixth-place relay efforts, teaming with Michael Oaks, Tanner Barton and Drew Tharp for a time of 6:55.39 in the 800 freestyle event and joining Cole Smith, Austin Green and Oaks to finish the 400 freestyle in 3:05.52.
Kegan Comer
Jay County – 2013
Started for the No. 14 University of Saint Francis men's basketball team in its loss to No. 19 Robert Morris (Ill.) in the opening round of the NAIA National Tournament in Point Lookout, Mo.
Comer went 3-of-9 from the field and scored nine points in the 69-66 overtime loss to the Eagles.
The freshman also added a trio of rebounds, assists and steals for the Cougars (21-11).
Pazia Speed
Jay County – 2010
Scored a game-high 24 points for the No. 19 Huntington University women's basketball team in its victory over No. 14 Menlo (Calif.) in the first round of the NAIA National Tournament in Sioux City, Iowa.
The senior shot more than 50 percent from the field (9-of-17) and sank her only shot from long range. She also added three rebounds, one assist and one steal.
The Foresters (24-8) will play fourth-ranked Northwestern University (Iowa) in the second round of the tournament.

Bank On Yourself is a guaranteed way to grow your savings, without the nail-biting ups and downs of the stock and real estate markets. It also lets you become your own source of financing and reduce or eliminate the control banks and financial institutions have over you.
Today, more than 500,000 Americans of all ages, incomes and backgrounds use Bank On Yourself to reach a wide variety of personal and financial goals and dreams. Not one of them lost a single penny in their plans when the markets crashed. In fact, their plans have continued to grow — safely and predictably.
Pamela realized that none of us — including the experts — can predict a stock market timeline, and that Americans have been brainwashed into believing they must accept risk and volatility in order to grow a sizable nest-egg. She felt compelled to dedicate her efforts to educating the American public about this powerful, proven but little-known method that has actually existed for more than 160 years.
Bank On Yourself is used by many as an alternative to traditional retirement plans. Growth in the plan is both guaranteed and exponential, and neither your principal nor your gains are lost when the market tumbles.
This allows you to know the minimum annual retirement income you can take from your plan, and for how long you'll be able to take it. And because you can use the money in your plan when and how you want, you don't have to worry about restrictive 401(k) withdrawal rules or penalties.
She has helped train over 200 Bank On Yourself Authorized Advisors throughout the US to help their clients implement this method properly.
Pamela Yellen is an Internationally
Respected Author and Speaker...
Pamela Yellen is the author of two New York Times best-selling books, including her latest, The Bank On Yourself Revolution: Fire Your Banker, Bypass Wall Street, and Take Control of Your Own Financial Future.
Ms. Yellen has written numerous articles and been featured in thousands of major publications and websites, and she has been a source on every major TV and radio network, including NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox and NPR. She is a professional speaker who has addressed more than 1,000 audiences throughout the US, Canada, Asia and Europe.
Pamela was born in Buffalo, New York, and has lived in Sarasota, Phoenix and the San Francisco Bay area. She graduated from the University of San Francisco with a degree in psychology.

Last night on Twitter, Josh Barro, the openly gay, neo-conservative political editor for Business Insider, MSNBC regular, columnist for Bloomberg and New York Times reporter went on a tirade against "anti-LGBT" people, calling on the public to shame them, and stamp out their views "ruthlessly."
The budding totalitarian sure has a bully pulpit – one of the most popular political blogs, with 57.6 thousand followers. He was named in the top 10 best Twitter feeds of 2013 by TIME Magazine. He was also named one of President Obama's favorite columnists to read.
Anti-LGBT attitudes are terrible for people in all sorts of communities. They linger and oppress, and we need to stamp them out, ruthlessly.
— Josh Barro (@jbarro) July 24, 2014
Looking at his Twitter feed, it's apparent that Barro has an agenda to push, since the one issue he writes about most is gay marriage. Barro explained how shame was the easiest tactic in defeating "anti-gay" views, which he likened to segregationists.
We don't even need to change everybody's mind. Making people too embarrassed to express their anti-gay views is valuable progress.
— Josh Barro (@jbarro) July 24, 2014
Did the segregationists go through a period, like in the 1970s, where they whined that people were mean to them for being segregationists?
— Josh Barro (@jbarro) July 24, 2014
Shame is certainly what liberals are practicing on the issue of gay marriage and acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle. Just this week alone, the media has attacked former NFL coach Tony Dungy and Giants' wide receiver David Tyree for their statements against gay marriage.

The Rule of Law and its Value (LAWS5195)
This course will explore the nature and value of the rule of law through a critical examination of classical and contemporary writings in jurisprudence. Among the problems we will consider are: What features of a legal system contribute to bringing about the rule of law? What is 'legality'? What is the relationship between the rule of law and the rule of good law? Is it always a virtue, other things being equal, to apply valid legal rules? How far is the rule of law consistent with the indeterminacy of law or with discretionary decision-making? Is the rule of law an 'unqualified human good'? Why is it good? Should the rule of law ever be sacrificed for the sake of other goods? What does the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index measure? Is it defensible from a jurisprudential point of view, and useful in determining the nature and value of the rule of law? Readings will include historical sources from the ancient Greek and early modern periods, contemporary essays in legal, moral, and political theory, and other primary legal sources.

ABOUT 2,500 runners will pound the pavements on Sunday when they take part in Colchester's fourth annual half marathon.
Organisers the Colchester Colne Round Table say the 13-mile event is the fastest growing half marathon in the UK.
Starting at the Weston Homes Community Stadium at 9am, the circular course heads via Boxted Road and downhill on Mile End Road into the town centre up North Hill.
Runners will pass through the High Street and down East Hill, before turning north up Ipswich Road and into the countryside of Langham and Boxted.
Rolling road closures will be in place as the front runners reach the roads and will remain for about 12 minutes.

The odds of Saatchi & Saatchi retaining the creative part of the $40 million
Late on Friday, David Jones's group general manager of financial services and marketing,
The three other agencies that pitched for the account – DDB, Wellcom and Photon Group's BMF– were told they had not made it to the second round.
Saatchi has held the David Jones account for 13 years and has 40 people working on the business. Its contract expires on July 30.
"Across the dimensions we assessed, Saatchi & Saatchi and M&C Saatchi are best suited to our needs," Mr Eales said.
"Both can add value to our brand and both have the necessary infrastructure to handle the volume of ads we run each year."
Mr Eales said he would "continue talking" to both agencies and then select a winner. He said there was no deadline to complete the review, which started in late February.
Since late last year David Jones has hired new companies to handle its media advertising buying and catalogue distribution.

text: Last week, the French lower house of parliament has passed a law that requires Apple to share I-tunes with others mp3 players so that its downloaded music can be used by all of them for the sake of giving consumers freedom of choice and of sharing online culture. The goal of the law is to open up the market of digital music by forcing big companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Sony to share their technology, and thus to enable other companies to enter the market. My guess and it is only a guess is that the real motivation behind this goal is in fact to create a French company at best or even a European that would offer the same services that Apple does. If this is the purpose of the law, I am afraid that it will not work for Apple will never share I-tunes unless it has too. I think that the French members of parliament have the mistaken that they can create French technological companies out of thin air or rather by forcing foreign companies to share their technology. The problem is that the law if it passed (the French senate still has to approve it) will be limited to France, which means that all Apple and the other have to do is to strike French from the map when it comes to I-tunes. It would have been better to provide incentives to those companies to share for I am afraid that in this era of globalization, states are going to have less and less power.

Goodbye Good Girl : Letting Go of THE RULES and Taking Back Your Self
Good Girls aim to please. And they know all the rules--the rules that dictate what's becoming for a woman to be and do and what's unacceptable. Good girls usually also have a pretty accurate sense of exactly how much it costs them to live up to those rules and be just as beautiful and sucessful and supportive and unthreatening as all daughters and wives and mothers and career women are supposed to be.The women whose stories are told in this book are pioneers who cahllenged the old rules and found the freedom to rediscover themselves. Some has experiences that transformed them and gave them the courage to revise an old self-image or let go of an unrealistic fantasy and just be themselves. Others sought out opportunities for change, and still others were faced with an unexpected crisis that forced them to make a break with their former lives.Meeting the dozens of women they interviewed for the book confirmed what the authors learned from their own experience; it may be scary to challenge the rules, but the results can be astonishing, inspiring, and well worth the struggle.

The Accidental Business
As a stay-at-home mom, my goal was to have a little play money and hopefully enough money to buy gifts for my honey without having to use money he earned. A few months after opening, with only a handful of sales, mostly to friends, I closed down the shop for a cross country move. It was closed for almost a year.
Little did I know, the shop would quickly find it's niche in bakeware. I re-opened in December of 2010. thinking I could sell one or two items. I sold 13 Pyrex and hardly believe my success!
I started out using a nasty chemical to "etch" the dishes. I used that for a full year. It ruined my kitchen sink. I'm sure it was bad for our health as well as the environment. The spring and summer went well. I was giddy from each new sale. It feels good for people to like what I can make.
The following Christmas in 2011, we were really busy. My husband took a leave of absence from work to help out for a full month.
With my husband's looming deployment to Afghanistan, we knew there would be no way I would survive Christmas 2012 without something changing. We purchased a laser system and used the next few months until he left "getting to know" our new equipment.
With him safely back on US soil, I'm feeling blessed in so many ways; I have a wonderful family, great customers, and a fun business that turned from a "gift money business" in to a real business - my accidental business.
**Update 10/26/15**
Kevin has been working full time on our business - now two shops - since the fall of 2013 and has been kept busier than we had hoped for. He is still in the National Guard as a pilot. We added another family member last year and also began homeschooling.
**Update 9/21/2016**
As a result of some health issues, Kevin is no longer able to fly for the Army and has since resigned. We are especially thankful to all of our customers to make it possible for him to stay home where a traditional job would be difficult to navigate while managing his illness.

Thank you Tanya Ling!
Monday 17 September 2012
As a memento of her second season working with The Daily, the lovely Tanya Ling has created these illustrations of Co Editors Cat Callender (left) and Marion Jones (right).
Tanya Ling is the incredibly talented artist behind The Daily's Live Catwalk Illustrations. Each morning she joins the team here in The Daily's offices where she unpacks her pots & brushes from a paint-splattered wooden box, and with her workstation already prepared she heads to a show. Ten minutes of new fashion and a quick taxi ride later, Tanya is back in the office ready to whisk up a selection of magnificent illustrations.
In between swirling paints around paper plate palettes and streaking colours across her paper canvas, Tanya happily joins in with chats about weddings, families and fashion. Each painting captures the mood, colours and silhouettes of the featured designer's latest collection. Tanya's only complaint is the time she spends, quite literally, waiting for paint to dry!
Working with Tanya has been a real treat for The Daily team. Only one illustration makes it into every issue, but we are lucky enough to see three or four every morning. Co Editors Cat and Marion and Art Director Nicola make the final selection, although everyone else in the team has a personal favourite too!
As today is Tanya's final day with us for SS13, we would like to say a huge, heartfelt thank you, not only for the stunning Live Catwalk Illustrations but also for brightening our mornings with fun sweaters, funky shoes and an infectious smile!

With the defense resting its case Tuesday, closing arguments in the first trial of a church official for the cover-up of sex abuse were scheduled to begin Thursday.
Msgr. William J. Lynn is charged with two counts of child endangerment and one count of conspiracy for his role in an alleged cover-up of priest sex abuse in the Philadelphia archdiocese. Lynn served as secretary of clergy from 1992-2004 under former archbishop Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Wednesday morning that prosecutors and defense lawyers met Wednesday with Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina in a closed-door session to discuss the orders she would give jurors.
Over the final three days of testimony, Lynn faced an intense line of questioning from the prosecution.
According to the Inquirer, on Tuesday Lynn restated his previous assertion that he did what he could to help victims:
After the former Archdiocese of Philadelphia clergy secretary left the witness stand, the landmark trial moved briskly toward a conclusion.
Lawyers for Lynn and his codefendant, the Rev. James J. Brennan, called their final witnesses - friends, relatives, parishioners, priests, and nuns who praised the defendants as law-abiding citizens.
Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina told jurors to return Thursday for closing arguments. Deliberations could begin by the end of the week.
Nearly 60 witnesses have testified during the 11-week trial.
Unseen in the trial, however, was videotaped testimony from Becvilaqua, who died in February. Also never called to the stand were Bishops Edward Cullen and Joseph Cistone, two of Becvilaqua's aides alleged to have knowledge of an order from the archbishop to shred a list of priests suspected of abuse compiled that Lynn in 1994.
Fr. James J. Brennan, Lynn's codefendant in the case for charges of sexual assault of a 14-year-old boy, chose not to testify.

Getting crude oil to the Northeast might not even matter if there is no place to refine the hydrocarbons. Sunoco's (NYSE:SUN) Marcus Hook refinery, along with a facility owned by ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), are responsible for about half of all the jet fuel, gasoline and diesel produced on the East Coast. And both are losing tons of money. Almost all East Coast refineries are built to "crack" only light, sweet oil (i.e. Brent crude). With Brent pricing being the global standard, it is more directly tied to those nasty geopolitical events and growing demand than Midwestern WTI.
Following Hess' (NYSE:HES) lead, Sunoco plans to exit and close these facilities. Conoco is expected to follow suit. Ultimately, drivers in the East will pay 5 to 10 cents more because of logistics costs related to getting refined gasoline from the Gulf or the Midwest.
Profiting From the Problem
Since many of us will be paying more to fill our tanks, it's natural that investors might want to seek a way to get a little money back from the upcoming refining crunch. An easy way is through the United States Gasoline Fund (NYSE:UGA). The fund tracks gasoline futures and has been steadily climbing as the price per gallon has risen.
Unfortunately, no major firm has stepped forward and proposed an east-west pipeline — most likely because many refiners can't handle the heavier crude anyway. The previously mentioned Colonial pipeline is owned by a consortium of private firms, as well as Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS.A, RDS.B). While I am enamored with Shell's operations, this pipeline is such a small part of RDS' overall business, it's almost meaningless.
Better plays lie with pipeline duo Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) and Enterprise Product Partners (NYSE:EPD). The pair already have made plans to reverse the flow of the Seaway pipeline and enable Bakken shale oil to flow from Cushing to refiners in the Gulf. That's big news, as the refiners along the Gulf Coast will require more oil to support gasoline demand in the East. The more liquid flowing through their pipelines, the more money Enbridge and Enterprise make.
A second play could be refiner HollyFrontier (NYSE:HFC). The firm's six operations are concentrated in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Utah and Wyoming. By selling more gasoline in the East and using only WTI-priced crude, HollyFrontier should be able to increase its profits as it picks up the slack from the East Coast's dwindling output. Unlike many refiners, HollyFrontier made about $1 billion in profit during 2011 thanks to its low-cost WTI feedstock.
As of this writing, Aaron Levitt did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Texas Democrats held a primary and a caucus on March 4, with delegates being assigned through both contests. Details at bottom of page.
Texas, like other caucus states, has a multi-tier process that assigns delegates through a series of party gatherings. This process started with the precinct caucuses on March 4 and continues with county and state conventions prior to the Democratic National Convention in August.
The Associated Press will not feed final caucus results until the Texas Democratic Party holds its state convention from June 5-7 in Austin. At that time, our online election results will update with Texas' final (and official) state convention results.

- First off, my name is Carlos.
I like...
- playing guitar (and writing music)
- any and all forms of philosophy (honestly, just walk up to me and ask me 'why?' and my next 5hrs are set, hehe)
- hanging out with good people
- film (I majored in film and am slowly building a career in it)
- writing
- sarcasm
- any person who thinks for themself while keeping an open mind
- trying to irritate people that bother me (like with random annoying grammar points: 'themself' isn't really a word, it's contradictory!)
- ^^^yeah, I can be quite a bit of a nerd
I don't like...
- coffee (...even though I'm half Colombian, figures). Don't worry though, you can like coffee and I won't judge you for it. :)
- ignorance (and people who think they are 100% free of it)
- bad music (subjective, to a certain extent, I know. But just putting it out there!)
Other Stuff About Me...
- I'm an aspiring writer/director
- I'm here for both friends and a possible girlfriend, though I don't believe the latter can be attained without the prior.
- politically, I'm pretty liberal
- I often appear shy (and sometimes apathetic) at first, but I loosen up quite quickly among people I like
- I'm not a large partier, I prefer get-togethers (doesn't mean I don't like loud, stupid fun)
- I try not to form opinions on things I am not well informed on which sometimes makes me feel ignorant, but I'm either withholding judgement or uninterested
Also, since everyone seems to be giving their two cents on the topic of the oxford comma, I am very much for it.
Basically, I'm the guy you see on film/production sets holding the huge microphone pole over all the action.
It's hard work but I love it.
I think it's ridiculously cool that I have an IMDB page and I still get a kick out of every addition I get to make to it.
"Johnny Got His Gun," "The Time Traveler's Wife," "The Elegant Universe," "Holiday's on Ice," "Alice in Wonderland" "Into The Wild"
I mostly read articles and nonfiction books on topics like History, Science, Film, and Photography.
"Saving Private Ryan", "Anchorman," "Dr. Stranglove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb," the "Back to the Future" series, "Rolling Kansas," "The Shawshank Redemption," "The Godfather Trilogy" "City of God," "Edward Scissor Hands," "Cinema Paradiso," "Julian Donkey-Boy," "Goodfellas".
Smashing Pumpkins are my all-time fav, but I also like, Radiohead, Elliot Smith, the Killers, Arcade Fire, CocoRosie, Regina Spektor, Zwan, Mirah, Norah Jones, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix.
When it comes to food, I like it all! Bring it on! I am consistently on the brink of learning to cook something new and exotic but then giving up and having some cereal or going out to eat.
(even though I tend to be skeptical about personality tests :P )
Sometimes, I wonder if different fictional characters would like me.
I think Hank Hill would consider me an "ok guy."
Or if you're bored and feel like chatting with someone new.
(I always end up in the weirdest, funniest conversations with people)
Also, if you find this as hilarious as I do...


text: Posted October 23, 2013 So as most of you know I traveled all the way from Washington State to Carolina for the first time IN MY LIFE this past week (Wednesday through Monday), and I figured I would share you my experience through pictures and words..If this is a tl:dr post for you, then just look at the picture then... :ss: So let's begin with... A long flight across the country (believe this is Mt.Hood which is in Oregon near Washington). 3 flights, From Seattle to Portland, from Portland to Detroit (god bless I made it out of there alive) and then to Charlotte. Saw a Bucs fan (Yes a Bucs fan) in a Revis jersey in the Portland airport. Couldn't help but laugh and almost feel sorry...After hours of flying, I finally reached Charlotte. On our way to the hotel, the first thing I saw were the beautiful skyscrapers here in Charlotte. Duke Energy was lit green on this night, and it was awesome...So while the first day (Wednesday) involved a bunch of flying and sitting, I finally got to go all over Charlotte on Thursday and experience Carolina. Note this was also my first time being on the East side of the states. Nebraska has been the furthest I've been East, and that's not saying much. To start off my trip, we went to the Bobcats game because we had seen that tickets were literally only 4 dollars, and I have never been to an NBA game before...What I didn't know however, was that 15,000 middle school kids were attending the game for a "school is cool field trip"...luckily we were given press box type seats, and were no where near the little fugs. However, they did keep me entertained, this kid especially.. 66 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What Prospective Students Should Know
If you are planning on a career in Health Information Technology, you need to come to Ferris prepared to succeed.
Employment of health information technicians is expected to grow much faster than average, through 2022, in part, due to electronic medical record implementation mandates. Most health information professionals start their career as a coding professional. Average annual earnings of Registered Health Information Technicians (RHIT) is $41,350 based on a 2014 salary study conducted by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). Graduates with associate's degrees can expect to start in the $34,000 -$44,000 range. After gaining experience, that salary quickly increases.
In high school, you should take anatomy and physiology and computer courses. A good understanding of Excel and databases will be beneficial to a health information professional.
There is a six week (240 hour) internship in a health care setting that is required the semester before graduating. This may mean that you need to relocate. At the end of your coursework, you will take a review class to prepare for the national certification exam.
It is important to note that you may be required to complete a criminal background check at your own expense. If you have a criminal history, you may not be able to complete an internship which means you won't be able to graduate. Please see an advisor if you have any questions regarding this.
Many internships require proof of immunizations. They may require proof of a negative TB test within one year of your internship.

Salary and Employment Information
Employment of health information technicians is expected to increase by 22 percent through 2022, in part, due to electronic medical record implementation mandates. Most health information professionals start their career as a coding professional. The United States implemented ICD-10 Coding in October 2015. This system is much different than ICD-9 which is previously used. The new system has provided a lot of new job opportunities for new graduates. Average annual earnings of Registered Health Information Technicians (RHIT) is $41,350 based on a 2014 salary study conducted by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). Graduates with associate's degrees can expect to start in the $34,000 -$44,000 range. After gaining experience, that salary quickly increases.
Most of our Health Information Technology graduates work in hospitals or outpatient settings. Many of the medical coders work from home. The remainder find jobs in long term care, insurance companies, education, and consulting.
Source: AHIMA Salary Survey 2014
Health Information Technicians ensure the quality of health information records by verifying their completeness, accuracy, and proper entry into computer systems. They use computer applications to assemble and analyze patient data for the purpose of improving patient care or controlling costs. They consult classification manuals and computer software to assign the patient to a diagnosis-related group which will determine the amount that the hospital will be reimbursed by the government or insurance company. Technicians often specialize in coding diagnoses and procedures in patient records for reimbursement and research.
The United States will begin using ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS in October 2015. This is a totally different system than the current ICD-9 codes. The coder will need a solid background in medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, and pathophysiology to provide the expertise that will be required with ICD-10. A well-prepared coder will be in high demand in the healthcare industry.
Health Information Technicians must maintain and secure all patient records electronically. This requires workers to keep up with computer and software technology to meet federal government requirements.
Most health information technicians work in hospitals, physician's offices, or at their home. Technicians typically work at desks or in offices and may spend many hours in front of computer monitors.

iTunes' Genius Isn't So Dumb Anymore
A few weeks ago, I reported that iTunes' Genius was getting dumber. Genius wasn't finding recommendations for a lot of well-known music: things like Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, the Grateful Dead's American Beauty, The Door's L. A. Woman, and many others, including songs by Talking Heads, the Rolling Stores and other well-known bands.
Well, Apple's looked into this and it seems fixed. I tried all the songs I had flagged, and they all give me Genius recommendations.
If you still see songs where there are no Genius recommendations – not obscure music, but songs well enough known that Genius should be able to make suggestions – drop a comment below.

This well-written book brings to our attention the intolerable conditions under which Palestinian Christians and others live in the Holy Land. The author, a noted Orthodox writer who lives there, describes vividly the inhuman conditions she experiences. The chapters literally bring tears to one`s eyes. Her experiences foster awareness of the dramatically diminishing Christian presence in the land where the faith began. The author serves as a witness as she tries to bring to light the truth of what is happening and to change people`s minds and hearts.
Dr. Khoury has made efforts in the last decade to produce children`s Orthodox literature that preserves and documents precious traditions, values and the rich symbolism of the Orthodox faith. This book is the first book geared for adult readers, especially young adults that might have an interest in knowing more about the dwindling Christian community in the Holy Land and what life is like under military occupation since September 2000 when the Second Palestinian Uprising was sparked. The author reveals the truth of the current tragic bloodshed and violence in the Middle East.
Witness in the Holy Land is a collection of over seventy articles written from a human interest perspective describing daily life in the Holy Land. They focus on the Christian presence in the Holy Land and the Palestinian struggle for independence and freedom.

LEBANON -- Cumberland University Director of Athletics Ron Pavan announced Thursday the hiring of Gavin McKinney as the head women's soccer coach, effective July 1. McKinney comes to Cumberland after spending the past three seasons as an assistant coach at Bethel University.
"We are very happy to add Gavin to our coaching staff and feel like he will be a great addition to our women's program in its growth and development," Pavan said. "He has enjoyed considerable success as a player and coach at several different levels and his experience should only add to the program at Cumberland."
McKinney played four seasons at Lambuth University, earning All-Mid-South Conference honors as a junior and senior in 2003 and 2004. He was a member of the Dean's List during the Fall of 2004 and earned the Eagle Award in 2004 as well.
McKinney graduated with a bachelor's in Recreation and Sports Management from Lambuth in 2005 and received his master's in Education from UT Martin in 2006.
The Sherwood Park, Alberta, native started his coaching career with the West Tennessee Select Soccer Club and the U18 boys team in 2005. McKinney was then the boys and girls soccer coach at Madison Academic High School in Jackson, Tenn., for the 2006-07 academic year before becoming a full-time assistant at Bethel during the summer of 2007.
At Bethel McKinney, served as the recruiting coordinator, running daily training sessions with the team and assisting in match management, travel preparation and scheduling. The Wildcats posted a 30-18-7 record during his three seasons, finishing runner-up in the TranSouth regular season twice and appearing in the conference tournament championship game all three years.
"I would like to thank Ron Pavan and his administrative staff for giving me this opportunity at Cumberland University." McKinney said. "Cumberland is very dedicated to the success of its student-athletes and I feel privileged to be a part of such a great institution. I am excited for the challenges ahead and I look forward to my future here at Cumberland."
McKinney has served as a club coach with the Jackson Soccer Club since 2006 and as part of the State of Tennessee Olympic Development Training Program for the last two years. He holds a "C" coaching license with the US Soccer Federation, completed in February 2009.
McKinney was a member of the Sherwood Park Rangers Soccer Club from 1995-00, serving as captain. Sherwood won provincial championships from 1998-00.
Cumberland opens the 2010 season at the Golden Corral Classic in Barboursville, Ky., on August 27-28.

WASHINGTON – C.J. Sapong began his sophomore year with a bang, sneaking through the D.C. United defense to head home a late winner in Sporting KC's 1-0 win in front of 16,314 fans at RFK Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
D.C. 'keeper Bill Hamid had been the story of the first 90 minutes, stymieing Sporting at every turn. But in the 93rd minute, second-half substitute Sapong lost his marker on a corner kick, found space and placed a clinical header inside the near post.
It was a goal that was a long time coming. Sporting's counterattacking ability was put on showcase in the 35th minute, as they broke towards United's goal from deep in their own territory. Winger Kei Kamara, who was active and dangerous all night, found space out wide and lashed a shot from 30 yards, but his attempt curled wide of the far post.
Minutes later, D.C. finally showed a bit of teeth when Chris Pontius and Dwayne De Rosario combined to create the best chance for United in the first half. Pontius played a pass to De Rosario, who flicked it back to Pontius, but the United midfielder's shot from 20 yards was dragged just wide of the post.
It looked as if SKC would surely break through on the stroke of halftime when Roger Espinoza burst out of midfield and made his way down the left flank before crossing to Kamara. The big winger rose at the far post, but Hamid saved spectacularly, getting a toe to the effort and pushing it wide.
Sporting continued to enjoy more of the opportunities in the second half, but Hamid was up to the task of keeping United in the game. Teal Bunbury, who struggled with his touch and movement all game, was played into the box by Zusi, but fired high with Brandon McDonald applying pressure.
Hamid was tested again and again by Sporting, as Zusi and Espinoza both had opportunities to give SKC the lead midway through the second half. Three times the two created chances for themselves, but each time Hamid covered the shot to eliminate any further danger.
United debutant Maicon Santos managed a shot on target late in the second half on a free kick 30 yards from goal, but Jimmy Nielsen comfortably saved the bouncing shot on his line.
That set the stage for the substitute Sapong to score his winner, as he rose above the United defenders to redirect Zusi's corner past a helpless Hamid.
Sporting (1-0-0) travel back home to host New England at Livestrong Sporting Park on March 17, while D.C. (0-1-0) fly to Los Angeles to take on defending MLS Cup Champions LA Galaxy a day later at the Home Depot Center.

#3 – Weeklys Can Offer a Better Way to Play the News
When a company is about to announce earnings or when the FDA is set to rule on a trial for a biotech company's new drug, traders anticipate the likelihood of a substantial move in the stock price. Traditionally, options become very pricey prior to news because there are far more buyers than sellers. That's true for the Weeklys also, but because these options do not rise in price as much as their longer-term counterparts (again, we are talking dollars, not implied volatility), these options are still priced at a level where the risk takers are willing to play.
And it gets even better. Once the news is released, the resulting implied volatility drop has little effect on Weeklys. With Weeklys, it's a simple game. You win or you lose. The stock makes the move you hoped to see or it doesn't. Your options move into the money, or become worthless (remember expiration is just a short time away). Longer-term options decrease in value due to that implied volatility drop. Thus, the stock move must be large enough to support overpaying upfront or there are no profits.

Government plans to sell large areas of England's woodland look set to be scrapped.
Loads of people protested and signed a petition against the idea when it was put forward at the end of last year.
They were worried that if the forests were sold it would make it harder for the public to use them, and it would be bad for the wildlife living there.
Prime Minister David Cameron says he's listened to the protests and will rethink the plans.

I believe psychotherapy is a team work. Together we work to help you gain new insights and gain new skills. Psychotherapy is a powerful tool that can actually be used at any point to increase and teach self-awarence, positive thinking and behavior. In addition to gaining a clearer perception about oneself, as a psychotherapist, I help people identify the patterns that interfere with healthy relationships and success. My practice is eclectic and integrative- I draw heavily from Cognative Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Structural and Systems Family Therapy,

Individual adults and couples tell me that I am unlike most other therapists that they have worked with and that they feel like I work very hard with them. My clients tell me that they feel supported and comfortable in our sessions and that I have the ability to keep track of the important details of their lives. Our work pays dividends to you as you develop lifelong tools to: manage conflict, improve communication, lower stress, and reduce anxiety and depression. We will work together to help you become empowered with the confidence to take care of yourself while also "juggling" life's commitments, resulting in you finally getting the life that you want.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Seeking out a counselor for help can be a difficult choice. It's not only asking for help, but doing so with a stranger. Counseling professionals and psychotherapists alike are trained to help people feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what steps to take next. They don't dictate cures, but rather help their patients uncover or recognize that your problems are real and that you want to do something about them. In my practice, the implementation of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Mindfulness treatment models can be very powerful strategies and offer a greater sense of worth and wellbeing.

One of the most life altering actions when seeking to gain traction in the struggle to live a satisfying life is the choice to work with a therapist. It signaled a ground-breaking change in our approach to meeting the challenges we faced; demonstrating a shift that embraced the possibility of tapping into knowledge and support outside our own skull. Most of us have a better ability to see and understand the actions and motivation of others than our own. We all have personal blind spots. This is evident early in therapy, when one experiences striking progress as a result of new insights gained in therapy.

Whoever wants to find a good plastic surgeon is at the right address in California. This state can be seen as the leader state for cosmetic and plastic surgery. Furthermore, patients who undergo a breast augmentation, a liposuction, face lifting or nose job can combine the operation with a nice stay in a beautiful area. Palm trees, a white and long beach and sometimes even cocktails wait for the patients before and after their surgical operation to make them forget about the pain that comes afterwards.
Not only the United States offer great opportunities for people who want to feel more beautiful, but also in Europe and Germany various surgical hospitals offer their services to patients. One of them is Lang Esthetics. It is a German institute for surgical operations located in Zweibrücken in the east of Germany not far away from France and Luxembourg. Lang Esthetics is most likely of the best addresses if someone is looking for a good plastic surgery hospital. Doctor Lang is a well educated plastic surgeon with plenty of practical experience in the field of plastic surgery, but also normal medical surgery itself. Her hospital is located in a beautiful Villa called Villa Rothenberg. In this lovely atmosphere patients can cure the pain after their surgical operation.]]>
Montgomery was not only the leading real estate developer, but he was also the director of both competing railroads: the Southern Pacific and the Western Pacific. Moreover he was Chairman of the Board of the powerful California Prune and Apricot Growers, Inc. Because of all his activities he was not only a very rich, but also a very powerful man.
He practically owned the San Carlos Street in San Jose and constantly tried to keep the heart of local business on his street. His competitors were located on the Santa Clara Street and were trying to build newer and bigger buildings than him all the time. This fight was a big help in developing the city. Montgomery convinced the city of San Jose for example to locate its convention center on San Carlos Street in 1930. The city was also won over by various donations of money, land and materials from Montgomery's side.
Being aggressive and very territorial Montgomery was able to build his own empire in San Jose. A good example of his aggressive business manner is the Hotel Montgomery. It was built in 1911 and has since then been one of the finest hotels in town. A huge portrait of himself, hang in the lobby of the hotel until the 1980s. Afterwards it disappeared and has not shown up until today. The hotel was designed by the local architect William Binder. The original building had 142 rooms, a ballroom, a restaurant and two dinning rooms. The prices for one night at the hotel have always been higher than in any other hotel in town. Montgomery considered it to be the best hotel in town otherwise he would not have lent his name to it.
Until today one can see Montgomery's influence on the town. Most people still know his name and San Carlos Street is still considered to be his street.]]>
The city has a lot of tourist attractions to offer and a sightseeing tour is absolutely worth it. As part of the Silicon Valley San Jose has a Tech Museum of Innovation. Visiting the museum one can get a better understanding of the Silicon Valley, its meaning and its importance in the US. The museum is educational, but one can still have lots of fun in it. Another museum worth visiting is the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum and Planetarium. It exhibits the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts in the western United States and the building is inspired by Egyptian temples.
The Winchester Mystery House is well-known throughout whole California. The spooky story of the wealthy widow planning and owning the house, who believed that only eternal construction could defeat the death, is attracting many visitors. A tour trough the 160-rooms Victorian mansion is offered. One can see superfluous staircases and Sarah Winchester's fascination with the number 13. Another famous building in San Jose is the Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph. It is located in downtown San Jose and is a beautifully restored 19th century cathedral.
Paramount's Great America and California's Great America are two theme parks located nearby San Jose. Lots of family fun is offered. Fun, thrill and family rides can be done and one can also visit the water park. Cheaper fun can be had all around the city. Hiking, biking, swimming and fishing can be done in the area. Because of the wonderful weather one can enjoy outdoor activities the whole year. Golfing, horseback riding and wild water rafting and many other exciting activities can be done in the area. One could say that having fun in San Jose is pretty easy.]]>
The Classical Revival style and the handsome façade, which is brick-colored pergola, are the signature of the Hotel Montgomery. The building is u-shaped and has six balconies with balustrades. Originally the hotel had 142 rooms, a restaurant, a ballroom and two dinning rooms. Unfortunately the hotel was destroyed during the Loma Prieta Earth Quake in 1989.
The hotel is considered historically significant because of its early reinforcement of concrete construction, architectural style and its ties to important people in the towns' history. The hotel is on the California Register of Historical Places and is eligible for the National Register.
The hotel had to close down after suffering extensive damage during the earth quake, but it was relocated in 2000. It was relocated only 186 feet from its previous location to First and San Carlos Streets. The move attracted a lot of media attention because of the significance the building has to San Jose.
A Redevelopment Agency hired an architect to redesign the first floor of the original building, which had to been demolished prior to the move. The first level included an elegant ballroom, which was torn down because of space limitations. An Architectural Resources Group documented design features and drawings and salvaged historical material for the inside of the hotel. These will be available for the architect, who redesigns the hotel. There are plans discussed to restore the building to a boutique hotel.
When staying in San Jose one should definitely take a look on the historic building. It is important to the history of the town and its inhabitants. One can get a better feeling for the town by exploring its past and Hotel Montgomery is part of it.
The first significant event happened in 1848 when gold was discovered in the valley near Sacramento. After the discovery the Gold Rush began. People from all over the world came to the valley to find happiness and wealth. In 1849 the first ten thousand gold-seekers arrived in California. Later they were known as the "Forty-niners".
In 1850 California becomes a state and because of the Gold Rush many nicknames were given. "The Golden State", "The Land of Milk and Honey" and "The El Dorado State" are just a few examples. Suffering from violent disagreements over business during the first decades, the California Civil Code was adopted in 1872. It includes a special provision guaranteeing the freedom of employees in California.
In 1910 Lee de Forrest, the inventor of the triode, arrived in the San Francisco Bay area. This was later seen as the starting point of Silicon Valleys process of transforming into the worlds' knowledge base of electronics. Silicon Valleys' development was boosted by a number of defense contracts in World War 1 as well as World War 2.
In 1951 the Stanford Industrial Park was established. The high-tech center is working closely with the Stanford University. Five years later William Shockley, co-inventor of the semiconductor triode, founded the Shockley Semiconductor. A few years later eight of his employees left the company and founded Fairchild Semiconductor and just a few years after that, employees of this company left to found Intel. Within 20 years different employees of Shockley founded 65 new enterprises and made Silicon Valley the high-tech capital of the US.
In 1971 the term Silicon Valley was used for the area and became the official name for the valley shortly after that. Without all these great inventors coming to Silicon Valley and founding their own enterprises, the valley would not have as much significance to world as it has today.]]>

Every single day all across the US Children are dying at the hands of their abusive parents either by their participation in abuse, or by allowing and providing an abusive environment to exist as a way of life. Children who are being raised in severely abusive home environments are not all of a sudden tossed into violent situation, there are patterns and these patterns are not going by unnoticed. Reports to CPS do not protect children from Parents who allow abuse on their children by creating a hostile abusive home environment. People should have to prove they can care for their children before they have them. Make it to where Parenting needs to require a license.

SPORTS >> Every Devil had a hand in bringing home the crown
Leader sports editor
Jacksonvilles 13-point lead was suddenly just a precarious five after three-pointers by Marland Smith and A.J. Walton and four straight points by David Rivers.
Two minutes and 40 seconds remained in the 6A state championship and all the momentum had shifted to Little Rock Hall.
Thats when Cortrell Eskridge made an aggressive move from the top of the key and delivered a crisp bounce pass to Demetrius Harris for a lay-up and a seven-point lead.
One play among many in a game in which one play at any point along the way could have made the difference between heartache and jubilation. Eskridges numbers 1 of 6 shooting, three rebounds might get lost among all the others, but he had two assists in the game and that second one to Harris was as big as any play in the game, temporarily, at least, squelching Halls gathering momentum.
When people over the course of time gaze upon the championship banner that will forever festoon the Devils Den at Jacksonville High, theyll quite naturally think of Deshone McClures MVP performance, his three three-pointers, his 5-of-6 shooting and, most dramatically, his game-winning free throws with 1.2 seconds remaining when Jacksonville trailed by one.
But his drive from one end of the court to the other with 7.8 seconds left, the foul he drew, the free throws he made, was also just one play among many. In a one-point win, every play counts. And everybody contributed in his own big or small way on Saturday night.
Darrius Morant missed his only shot in the game. But in just five minutes of action, Morant delivered two big assists. His defensive rebound and long pass to Antwan Lockhart led to a crowd-rousing jam late in the third period.
Just a minute and six seconds later, he dished inside to Harris for a lay-up that put the Red Devils up nine.
Antonio Roy picked up seven rebounds three offensive in just 14 minutes of action, helping account for the Red Devils 11 second-chance points in the contest. He also had one of their three blocks.
And lets not forget the Appleby brothers Raheem and Stanley. Raheem hit a three late in the first half a three that had to be counted as bonus points, given his limited action during the regular season. Brother Stanley scored seven points over the course of 56 seconds in the early critical stages of the final period. He hit a floater in the lane, a driving lay-up and a three-pointer that gave the Red Devils their biggest lead of the game at 52-39.
Antwan Lockhart took only three shots and made them all. His rebound basket to open the second half got the Red Devils off on the right foot. His thunderous dunk with 2:10 left in the third period not only opened up a nine-point lead, but electrified the Red Devil faithful. He also had three rebounds and a block.
Harris performance needs no illumination. Twenty points, 10 rebounds five offensive a blocked shot and an assist speaks for itself. This from a football star who has played only two years of organized basketball. Harris development into an outstanding offensive player, rebounder and defender is a big reason for the Red Devils improvement from a 14-14 quarterfinal team a year ago into a 24-3 state champion this season.
Finally, dont overlook LaQuentin Miles performance on Saturday. Dont let the 1-of-8 shooting and the seven turnovers fool you. Miles, who offset those numbers with three steals, two assists and 10 boards, was put in the unenviable position of running the point most of the season in an attempt to provide the one missing part on this otherwise complete team.
Our kids overcame a big handicap, Jacksonville coach Vic Joyner said. This team hasnt had a true point guard all year. LaQuentin sacrificed a lot of offense running the point and maybe even an MVP and thats an unselfish kid right there.
Because if LaQuentin was a two guard, hed be averaging 25-30 points a game for us, easy. And thats what Im saying. These kids played their roles for each other and they won this thing collectively as a group.
Remember that when you look at that banner.
