Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.
One of only a handful of cities to achieve this designation four times, America's Promise Alliance again recognized Oklahoma City as being one of the winners of the Alliance's 100 Best Communities for Young People. OKC received the honor due to a renewed focus on mentoring programs for youth and wide range of related volunteerism and philanthropy.
(September 21, 2010)
OKLAHOMA CITY -- The city of Oklahoma City wants a large park south of downtown. What will sprout up around that park remains to be seen.
As the Core to Shore project begins to take shape over the next few decades, one of the first components will be a large green space, about 40 acres, tentatively dubbed Central Park. By comparison, Central Park in Manhattan is 843 acres. San Francisco's Golden Gate Park is 1,017 acres.
Early plans call for multifamily housing on the east and west sides.
William Forrest, a multifamily broker with CB Richard Ellis Oklahoma, said high-density residential units facing the park would be a unique amenity new to the market.
"That's an extremely viable idea," he said. "I love the thought of having some quality multifamily in that location. What a nice setting."
Phase I plans, targeted for completion in 2014, may also include a convention center, hotel and retail stores.
Most everything in the area will eventually be razed and replaced, but one building will play a key role on the park's periphery.
"There are a couple of jewels down there," said Oklahoma City Planning Director Russell Claus.
One of those jewels is Union Station, which will be one of the lone survivors along with the Little Flower Church. The station will anchor the south end of the park. The Core to Shore steering committee's plans state it will have an adaptive reuse. Claus said he is not sure the exact role the station will play, but said it will not be torn down.
Union Station opened in 1931 and served the Frisco and Rock Island railroads until passenger service ceased here in the late 1960s.
In 1989 the station was purchased by the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority, which has its offices there.
Anthony McDermid, principal at TAParchitecture, was on the urban design team for Core to Shore that also included Colorado Springs-based URS Corp. and Omaha-based RDG.
McDermid said a park was part of the plan dating back to studies in the late 1990s about the realignment of Interstate 40.
"The idea for a green space was in the original mitigation plan but the size of the space grew," he said. "It grew much larger as the design process evolved."
But the city will not be the developer for residential and retail projects around the park.
"We have always contemplated that the park would be the catalyst for private development adjacent to the park," McDermid said.
Claus echoed the sentiment, saying he wants to see development around the park that also embraces the design and feel of the park.
"I want to see a true urban engagement with the park," he said.
Judy Hatfield, president and CEO of Equity Realty, said retail around the park should have a distinct Oklahoma flair.
"If you look at any large city around the world and you look at the kinds of things that surround a green space you'll see that they're full of little shops, cafes, bakeries and specialty shops exclusive to the region," she said.
National retailers could also have a place, but Hatfield said not in the form of a large power center or strip mall.
"That's not what people want to see," she said.
Local entrepreneurs and celebrities could also play a key role in giving the area a touch of Oklahoma. Hatfield cited the success of country singer Toby Keith's restaurant and bar in Bricktown.
With years to figure out the details, McDermid said the area around the park will no doubt be a desirable location for a mix of uses.
"The park is an environment that people will want to be close to," he said. "We want this to be uniquely Oklahoma City and the thing we hope for is quality."

9/11 Commission Report:
Reorganization, Transformation, and Information Sharing
GAO-04-1033T: Published: Aug 3, 2004. Publicly Released: Aug 3, 2004.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The sorrow, loss, anger, and resolve so evident immediately following the September 11, 2001, attacks have been combined in an effort to help assure that our country will never again be caught unprepared. As the 9/11 Commission notes, we are safer today but we are not safe, and much work remains. Although in today's world we can never be 100 percent secure, and we can never do everything everywhere, we concur with the Commission's conclusion that the American people should expect their government to do its very best. GAO's mission is to help the Congress improve the performance and ensure the accountability of the federal government for the benefit of the American people. GAO has been actively involved in improving government's performance in the critically important homeland security area both before and after the September 11 attacks. In its request, the House Committee on Government Reform have asked GAO to address two issues: the lack of effective information sharing and analysis and the need for executive branch reorganization in response to the 9/11 Commission recommendations. Further, the Committee has asked GAO to address how to remedy problems in information sharing and analysis by transforming the intelligence community from a system of "need to know" to one of a "need to share."
The 9/11 Commission has recommended several transformational changes, such as the establishment of a National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) for joint operational planning and joint intelligence and replacing the current Director of Central Intelligence with a National Intelligence Director (NID) to oversee national intelligence centers across the federal government. The NID would manage the national intelligence program and oversee agencies that contribute to it. On August 2, 2004, the President asked Congress to create a NID position to be the principal intelligence advisor, appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate and serving at the pleasure of the President. Unlike the 9/11 Commission, the President did not propose that the NID be within the Executive Office of the President. He also announced that he will establish a NCTC whose Director would report to the NID, and that this center would build upon the analytic work of the existing Terrorist Threat Integration Center. He suggested that a separate center may be necessary for issues of weapons of mass destruction. Finally, he endorsed the 9/11 Commission's call for reorganization of the Congressional oversight structure. There are, however, several substantive differences between the President's proposal and the Commission's recommendations. While praising the work of the 9/11 Commission, and endorsing several of its major recommendations in concept, the President differed with the Commission on certain issues. These differences reflect that reasoned and reasonable individuals may differ, and that several methods may exist to effectuate the transformational changes recommended. However, certain common principles and factors outlined in this statement today should help guide the debate ahead. Although the creation of a NID and a NCTC would be major changes for the intelligence community, other structural and management changes have occurred and are continuing to occur in government that provide lessons for the intelligence community transformation. While the intelligence community has historically been addressed separately from the remainder of the federal government, and while it undoubtedly performs some unique missions that present unique issues, its major transformational challenges in large measure are the same as those that face most government agencies. As a result, GAO's findings, recommendations, and experience in reshaping the federal government to meet Twenty-First Century challenges will be directly relevant to the intelligence community and the recommendations proposed by the 9/11 Commission. The goal of improving information sharing and analysis with a focus upon the needs of the consumers of such improved information for specific types of threats can provide one of the powerful guiding principles necessary for successful transformation. This testimony covers four major points. First, it describes the rationale for improving effective information sharing and analysis, and suggest some ways to achieve positive results. Second, it provides some overview perspectives on reorganizational approaches to improve performance and note necessary cautions. Third, it illustrates that strategic human capital management must be the centerpiece of any serious change management initiative or any effort to transform the cultures of government agencies, including that of the intelligence community. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of results-oriented strategic planning and implementation for the intelligence arena, focusing management attention on outcomes, not outputs, and the need for effective accountability and oversight to maintain focus upon improving performance. It concludes by applying these concepts and principles to the challenges of reform in the intelligence community.

By Kevin Miller email@example.com
Staff Writer
WASHINGTON - The public got a glimpse at the normally secretive Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday and, for Mainers, some insights into the role that two of their own may play on the panel.
Independent Sen. Angus King and Republican Sen. Susan Collins
2012 file photo/The Associated Press
Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King occupy two of the 15 seats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, one of two panels that oversee the nation's top secret intelligence-gathering activities. They are sought-after posts due to the critical national security issues the committees handle, even if membership doesn't necessarily lend itself to the type of tangible benefits to constituents as would serving on, say, a committee that controls the federal purse strings. (Collins is on Senate Appropriations).
King, an independent serving his first term, received national press for his questions to CIA director nominee John Brennan about the White House's use of unmanned drone aircraft to kill U.S. citizens working abroad with terrorist groups.
King and others would like to see a court-like panel outside of the executive branch that would review such "targeted strikes."
Collins, meanwhile, asked Brennan about possible international backlash to excessive drone strikes, the CIA's increasing role as a paramilitary force and why it took the White House so long to share with senators classified legal documents on the use of drones against U.S. citizens.
The lines of questioning earned both King and Collins some praise from organizations concerned about the clandestine drone program, which the White House rarely discusses.
Christopher Anders, senior legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, praised Collins for her outspokenness on getting the Obama administration to release its legal justification on the drone strikes.
"I think that's been a very important role that she has played as a Republican member of the committee," Anders said.
Maine's Constitution-citing tea party members and libertarians may have more in common with King than they thought.
During Thursday's hearing, King twice turned to his iPhone for guidance. He was apparently using an app that contains a copy of the U.S. Constitution and other guiding documents of government.
A history buff who teaches at Bowdoin College, King said he referred to the Constitution for his questions about the rights to due process under the Fifth Amendment and ensuring that the executive branch's powers are kept in check when it comes to drone attacks on U.S. citizens.
"It's not a dry document," King said in an interview. "One of the principles of the Constitution is that powers should be dispersed and should not be concentrated in one branch" of government.
And while we're on the Constitution ...
After a Connecticut representative publicly complained about the incorrect portrayal of his state's votes on the 13th Amendment in the film "Lincoln," I went back and looked up where Maine's delegation stood on the 1864 and 1865 votes to end slavery.
Maine Rep. Lorenzo De Medici Sweat of Portland was the only New Englander to oppose what would become the 13th Amendment. All of Maine's other House and Senate members -- Reps. James Blaine, Sidney Perham, John H. Rice and Frederick Pike and Sens. William Fessenden and Lot Morrill -- voted for the constitutional amendment ending slavery.
Sweat's vote may have had plenty to do with his party politics. He was a Democrat while all of Maine's other representatives in Washington were members of Lincoln's Republican Party.
Many Portland residents and other Mainers have likely been to Sweat's home without knowing it. Sweat's wife, writer and member of the "artistic elite" Margaret Jane Mussey Sweat, deeded what is known as the McLellan House or the McLellan-Sweat Mansion to the Portland Society of Art upon her death in 1908.

Muizenberg is located at the Northwest corner of False Bay where the the 20km long flat sandy beach that forms the Northern shoreline of False Bay meets the Cape Peninsula mountain range which runs from Table Mountain in the North to Cape Point in the South. Being at this point where the mountains meet the sea means that Muizenberg is a natural transport bottleneck where roads end and hence it is a well signposted destination at freeway exits and road intersections. So getting to Muizenberg is easy.
Amberley Travellers Lodge is at the Southern end of Muizenberg Park, one block up from Main road, on the corner of School road and Amberley road, between the prominent CCFM building and Muizenberg police station.
Located Near
Muizenberg is a great place to be based when on holiday in Cape Town. It's unbeatable for beach activities. There's easy public transport via a regular commuter train service to the city centre. The Stellenbosch winelands are only 20 minutes drive away and the attractions of Cape Point and the Southern Peninsula are equally close. Some of the best mountain and whale-watching seafront walks start from here. There are excellent coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries and markets.

Students' Room: Coat of Arms
The so-called Students' Room in the Melanchthon House, Wittenberg. Painted coats of arms of 10 Wittenberg students were uncovered in this room in 1845. It seems the students stayed here with the Melanchthon family in the 16th century and left behind their coats of arms in thanks. It was a characteristically humanist practice for everyone to choose a coat of arms, regardless of noble birth. Eight of the ten coats of arms have been matched to the university's register, and signs tell the history of those students.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- Bl. John Paul II

I am officially announcing my support for Jonathan Sharkey, candidate from Florida. If you do not know Mr. Sharkey, here is his wikipedia page.
I will draw your attention to these top ten significant talking points and highlights:
1. He is a family man:
2. For the anti-gay conservative:Sharkey claims that he first drank blood at age five and now consumes the blood of his girlfriends and mistresses twice a week. He has described his vampirism as "a very healthy thing to do" and has praised Hollywood for making vampire feeding practices "romantic and erotic".
3. He can pull votes from all corners of society:He does not drink men's blood, only women's because "women are beautiful...they have such beautiful necks and arms".
4. Firm defender of the Freedom of Religion:He has run both as a Republican and on the ticket of his own Vampires, Witches, and Pagans Party.
5. He is tough on crime:Sharkey has criticized Mitt Romney for downplaying his own religious beliefs, saying "I'm not ashamed of my beliefs. Why should he?"
6. And he will continue the war on drugs:He has described his policy on crime as follows: "Certain criminals, instead of being put in jail, they should be brutally tortured and impaled....Upon them being found guilty of their crimes I'll beat them, torture them, dismember them and decapitate them."
7. For the pro-gay conservative:... said his policy for dealing with drug dealers is to "go to Sicilian families and have them attack the drug dealers for me".
8. He will probably pull some liberal votes with this:.. he supports equal rights for gays.
9. But will also pull some rightwing Christian votes:He opposes President Obama's health care reform and would replace it with a plan of his own in which the poor would receive free medical and dental care; the expenses would be paid with government taxes on marijuana and prostitution, which Sharkey supports legalizing and regulating. On foreign policy, he wishes to bring American troops home from foreign war zones.
10. And finally, he truly understands our founding fathers and what they stood for:Sharkey says that he will ban abortion and the teaching of evolution in public schools.
Godspeed, Mr. Sharkey, godspeed.He compares Lucifer to the Founding Fathers of the United States, arguing that they both exemplify the idea of rebellion against tyranny.

"As CME providers, we should be able to use the best and the brightest to develop educational content. If we are to disqualify these physicians based on "perceptions" of conflicts of interest, we fail to provide the highest quality CME to physicians while impugning the integrity and honesty of many of the finest physicians and educators in the world.
"Based on this draft document, accredited providers would be required to be the "Conflict of Interest Police," making judgments on the possible commercial bias of a proposed faculty member before a word of the content has been written. Where are the data to support such a significant change in policy?"
The above paragraphs, excerpts from the North American Association of Medical Education and Communication Companies' (NAAMECC) response to the draft revision of the Standards for Commercial Support, express the views of many in the CME industry that the Accreditation Council for CME has gone too far in attempting to curtail bias in CME activities. The Standards for Commercial Support regulate relationships between continuing medical education providers, such as specialty societies, hospitals, and academic medical centers, and funders of CME, such as pharmaceutical companies.
But some providers say it's time for the rules to change. "The draft Standards for Commercial Support are just the most recent step in a larger movement in the world of medicine," says R. Van Harrison, PhD, CME director, University of Michigan School of Medicine, Ann Arbor. While CME is important, when it comes to conflict of interest and potential bias, the first lines of fire in terms of public interest are in research and publications, he says. And while ACCME is just beginning to tackle what is acceptable in terms of conflict of interest, its parent organizations already have taken a stand on it in those areas.
"The ACCME is just catching up with changes that are already happening elsewhere in medicine," he says. "For those who say the existing disclosure rules don't need to change, well, they're out of date with what's already happened in the bigger picture. With commercial sources funding more than 50 percent of the out-of-pocket financial expenditures of the 674 nationally accredited CME providers, we are required to react, just as those in research and publications have been. If CME does not recognize that larger world change, we will be scorned and marginalized." For more commentary on the Draft Standards for Commercial Support, watch for the June issue of Medical Meetings.

Sky's the Limit
Tom "Sky" Skibosh covers the Wauwatosa, Brookfield and New Berlin prep scene for Community Newspapers. If something is going on in local sports, Sky has an opinion about it. If you agree or not with what Sky says, we want to see your comments.
First week observations...
The Brookfield Central-Waterford football game last Friday was the most exciting 7-6 victory I have ever seen. I thought I was in a bakery with all the turnovers flying about. Central coach Doug Lange figured it would take a while for his offense - no one returned from last year's starting lineup - to jell and he was right. He also said he hoped his defense would be up to the task - and he was right again. Matt Upson, Jack Moro and Dan Bowar led a veteran defense and came up with a big stop when the Wolverines went for a two-point conversion in the final minutes of play.
To say Wauwatosa East struggled against Milwaukee Riverside would be polite. The Red Raiders were outmanned on both sides of the ball. Coach Tom Swittel said he had some good skill players in Ethan Harris and Barret Powell and he was right about that. Harris might not survive the season, though, if he keeps taking hits like he did in the opener. If there is a better wide receiver in the area than Powell, I would like to see him.

Donna Karan - New York Fall 2007
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Design-wise, Karan likes to play it clean, but this season found her looking more sensual than usual. The designer showed moderated turbans for one—less outlandish than their Euro counterparts—paired with markedly slinky, sinuous dresses that popped in satin jewel tones. The sweetheart necklines were a coy, unexpected treat, as were the hourglass silhouettes. The bands of matte and textured fabric that anchored the sea of sheen, meanwhile, ensured the offering was an opulent one, but never overly rich.

When looking at Omastar's stats, it seems to be just another one of many bulky Water-type attackers. However, Omastar has access to what is arguably the best boosting move in the game, Shell Smash. With this gem of a move, Omastar is able to fix its low Speed and boost its already great Special Attack stat to incredible levels in just one turn of setup. Omastar also has access to both Stealth Rock and Spikes, thus allowing it to step outside of its normal sweeping role with decent success. It can even use Shell Smash along with one of these entry hazards to make for quite the flexible Pokemon. Omastar has some very useful resistances as well, including an all-important 4x Fire-type resistance that lets it use Entei, one of the most common Pokemon in the tier, as easy setup bait.
However, Omastar is held back by a few glaring flaws that prevent it from dominating the tier. Its Speed is low; even after a Shell Smash boost, Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Rotom and Manectric can still effortlessly revenge kill Omastar and limit the damage it can do in a match. A mediocre Special Defense combined with weaknesses to common attacking types such as Grass, Electric, and Fighting makes it quite difficult for Omastar to successfully set up and pull off a sweep. Nevertheless, Omastar is a very potent sweeping threat to look out for in RU. Omastar only requires one turn to lay waste to entire teams, so tread lightly around it.
This is the set that made Omastar the feared sweeping threat it is today. With just a single turn, Omastar is capable of boosting its Speed and Special Attack to very threatening levels, and it's all thanks to Shell Smash. After using this, Omastar can make use of its solid three move coverage to ravage the opposing team. Omastar's STAB move comes down to the age old argument of power vs. accuracy. Since this Omastar is used more as a sweeper, Surf is preferred for the reliability it brings and still has sufficient power in most situations. Hydro Pump is an option in order to muscle past Pokemon like Cryogonal and Uxie, but an untimely miss can mark the premature end of a sweep. Ice Beam is useful to hit the many Grass-types in RU, including Rotom-C, Sceptile, and Amoonguss. Hidden Power Grass rounds off Omastar's coverage and allows it to deal with opposing Water-types such as Slowking, Lanturn, and Alomomola.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Instead of using a free turn to set up Shell Smash and sweep the opposing team, this Omastar uses free turns to litter the other side of the field with entry hazards. Omastar might lack the Speed of other fast Spikers such as Smeargle and Scolipede, but a combination of Weak Armor and Icy Wind can mitigate this. Spikes is the main entry hazard on this set due to its lesser distribution and Omastar's ability to get two layers up almost every time. Scald generally gets the nod for Omastar's STAB move as the burn chance can deter physical attackers from attempting to set up on it. Hydro Pump is an option for the much greater power, but Omastar's primary concern should be to get entry hazards up. Icy Wind is nice to slow down faster Pokemon switching in such as Manectric, Sceptile, and Galvantula. Ice Beam is a solid alternative to get the harder hit on Pokemon such as Druddigon and Amoonguss, which are already slower than Omastar. The last move gives Omastar added utility. Stealth Rock allows Omastar to support its team even more and free up a teamslot to cover other things. However, Shell Smash is an option if you don't need Omastar to use Stealth Rock. Although it looks odd, Shell Smash allows Omastar to weaken the opposing team and have more flexibility in how it's played outside of the lead position. Note that you should always use Ice Beam if you opt for Shell Smash as you will now have a way of boosting Omastar's Speed reliably.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set takes advantage of Omastar's great base 125 Defense and key resistances to Fire-, Normal-, and Flying-type moves to check dangerous threats and supply entry hazards for its team. Spikes is the main entry hazard on this set, as it sets Omastar apart from other physical walls, such as Rhydon and Steelix. Stealth Rock comes next as it makes it difficult for many of the threats Omastar checks to outlast it, since many are weak to Stealth Rock. Scald is Omastar's STAB move with the ever-infuriating 30% chance to burn the opponent. Ice Beam rounds off the set by giving Omastar a way to try and fend off Grass-types that try to come in on it.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Most of the relevant options in Omastar's movepool have already been covered, but there are a couple of other things to consider. Omastar could use Choice Specs to hit really hard right off the bat, but Omastar will generally want to use a free turn to set up a Shell Smash or a layer of entry hazards. AncientPower and Hidden Power Rock can be used for a Rock-type STAB move, but this is usually not needed due to Omastar's great three move coverage. Knock Off can be used on the defensive set to remove items off of Pokemon such as Roselia and Ferroseed. Hidden Power Fire is an option if you're really having issues against Jynx or Ferroseed, but Hidden Power Grass is usually too important to give up.
Checks and Counters
When trying to counter Omastar, it's generally best to use a Choice Scarf Pokemon that can outspeed and OHKO it at +2. Rotom and Manectric are the best two options for this as their STAB Volt Switches can OHKO Omastar or build momentum for their team if Omastar switches out. Primeape isn't a very common Pokemon, but it can outspeed +2 Omastar if it has a Choice Scarf equipped and it can defeat Omastar with STAB Close Combat. However, they will fail to outspeed if Omastar is able to get a Weak Armor boost on top of a Shell Smash boost. Lanturn is a solid defensive response as it can survive even a +2 Life Orb-boosted Hidden Power Grass and proceed to OHKO Omastar with Volt Switch. Depending on the set it's running, Slowking can handle Omastar decently well. Slowking's Choice Specs set only loses to Life Orb variants while defensive Slowking only loses to Lum Berry variants of the Shell Smash set. Roselia fears a +2 Life Orb Ice Beam, but it can take any other hit and proceed to OHKO Omastar with its STAB Giga Drain. If Omastar lacks a Life Orb, Jynx can check it thanks to its immunity to Water and Ice-type resistance. Ferroseed can beat Omastar if it packs Seed Bomb, but both must be wary of the rare Hidden Power Fire.
A powerful priority user can limit the damage Omastar can cause. Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are the most notable since their STAB Mach Punch can hit Omastar for super effective damage. Hitmonlee is also able to threaten with a counter-sweep with Unburden-boosted Speed after it activates its Fighting Gem with Mach Punch. Absol and Spiritomb can utilize their powerful STAB Sucker Punch, but they will need Omastar to be weakened a little due to its high base 125 Defense. Each of Omastar's hazard sets can be limited through the use of Rapid Spin. Kabutops and Cryogonal are by far the best spinners in the tier and Cryogonal even matches up well against Omastar in most cases. Grass-types such as Amoonguss, Lilligant, and Roselia can easily threaten the defensive set due to its lack of offensive investment. Finally, you can always resort to constant offensive pressure to limit the chances Omastar has to set up. However, you must be very careful if you rely on Pokemon like Entei and Swellow to provide this general pressure, as Omastar can easily use their STAB moves as setup bait, and all Omastar needs is one turn to wreak havoc for the rest of the match.

Location: Hoopa
A Weitchpec man was arrested late Saturday night after recklessly fleeing from Sheriff's Deputies in his vehicle while under the influence. At about 11:15 p.m. a Sheriff's Deputy was on patrol in the Hoopa area on Sate Route 96. He saw a white Ford Ranger traveling northbound in the southbound lane. The deputy followed the vehicle and saw it swerve back and forth several times. The deputy initiated a traffic enforcement stop but the driver of the vehicle failed to yield. The driver, later identified as Gaylord Lewis, 38, accelerated to approximately 75 mph, crossing into oncoming lanes more than once. Lewis drove over the Klamath River Bridge and turned north onto Sate Route 169. At mile marker 32.74 Lewis' vehicle left the roadway, landing upside down in a creek. Lewis sustained bloody nose in the collision and but refused medical treatment. Lewis was arrested and transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. He was booked for evading a pursuing peace office a driving with willful or wanton disregard for the safety others, reckless driving, driving under the influence, and possession of marijuana.

HealthGrades® study finds patient outcomes at Hilton Head Hospital among South Carolina's best for cardiac and gastrointestinal services
According to the Tenth Annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study issued today, Hilton Head Hospital ranks among the top 10 in South Carolina for overall cardiac services and GI services. The study, analyzed patient outcomes at virtually all of the nation's 5,000 hospitals over the years 2004, 2005 and 2006. The study also found that Hilton Head Hospital is: · Ranked Among the Top 10 (#6) in SC for Overall Cardiac Services · Ranked Among the Top 10 (#8) in SC for Cardiac Surgery · Ranked Among the Top 5 (#5) in SC for Cardiology Services · Ranked Among the Top 10 (#10) in SC for Coronary Interventional Procedures · Five-Star Rated for Treatment of Heart Attack· Five-Star Rated for Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation · Ranked Best (#1) in SC for GI Services· Ranked Among the Top 10 (#6) in SC for GI Surgery · Ranked Among the Top 5 (#5) in SC for GI Medical Treatment · Five-Star Rated for GI Procedures and Surgeries · Five-Star Rated for Treatment of GI Bleed "I am extremely pleased with the quality cardiac care that we provide at Hilton Head Hospital," said Elizabeth Lamkin, the hospital's chief executive officer. "Moreover, the number one ranking for all hospitals in South Carolina for GI Services is outstanding. My congratulations to all of the physicians, nurses and other staff who have made it possible to achieve these high marks. And, I can assure you we are pursuing the same standard of excellence in all the other areas of care which we provide. HealthGrades ® points out that patients admitted to the nation's top-performing hospitals, (five-star hospitals like Hilton Head Hospital) have, on average, a 71 percent lower chance of dying than those treated at one-star hospitals across 18 procedures and conditions analyzed, according to the study. HealthGrades is a leading online provider of information about quality on physicians and other health care services. "Our research shows that while the overall quality of hospital care in America is improving, the gap between the best-performing hospitals and the worst persists," said Dr. Samantha Collier, HealthGrades' chief medical officer and author of the study. "This persistent gap makes it imperative that anyone planning to be admitted to a hospital do their homework and seek out highly rated facilities." The Tenth Annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study identifies key trends in the quality of care provided by approximately 5,000 hospitals nationwide. HealthGrades researchers analyzed Medicare discharges from virtually every U.S. hospital between 2004 and 2006. Risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates were calculated and hospitals were assigned a 1-star (poor), 3-star (as expected), or 5-star (best) quality rating for 28 diagnoses and procedures from heart failure to hip replacement to pneumonia. Among the study's key findings: • Gaps persist between the "best" and the "worst" hospitals across all procedures and conditions studied. Five-star rated hospitals, such as Hilton Head Hospital had statistically significantly lower risk-adjusted mortality across all three years studied. • Across all procedures and conditions studied, there was an approximate 71 percent lower chance of dying in a 5-star rated hospital compared to a 1-star rated hospital. • Across all procedures and conditions studied, there was an approximate 52 percent lower chance of dying in a 5-star rated hospital compared to the U.S. hospital average. The 2008 HealthGrades ratings for all hospitals nationwide are available, free of charge, on the organization's award-winning consumer Web site, located at www.healthgrades.com. More than three million individuals and employees of some of the nation's largest employers and health plans visit HealthGrades each month to access quality information about hospitals, nursing homes and physicians. HealthGrades also provides consumers and payers with detailed assessments of hospitals' patient-safety outcomes, based on indicators developed by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

RICHMOND, Virginia (AP)— A Republican-dominated subcommittee has again killed efforts to allow no-excuses absentee voting in Virginia and essentially put Virginia among the growing number of states that allows early voting.
On party-line votes of 4-2, the Privileges and Elections subcommittee dispatched six bills, one of them Republican-sponsored. The measures would have eliminated the need to select from among a handful of excuses to vote early in hopes of reducing long waits at some polling places on election day.
By the same vote, it also killed a bill to allow parents or legal guardians of children 4 or younger and people in areas under a presidential or gubernatorial emergency declaration to vote absentee without an excuse.
One bill advanced that would allow seniors 65 and older to vote absentee.

A keynote speaker at Meeting Professionals International's MeetDifferent 2010 has been generating sparks from bloggers who followed the conference, not because of his message, but for the way he delivered it.
The speaker was branding specialist Marty Neumeier, who preached a philosophy of radical simplicity for organizations in search of products that are both good and different. The message was strong, but for much of the audience, Neumeier's style was his undoing.
On site, he came across as a brainy, slightly preoccupied professor. I heard scattered complaints that he'd failed to interact with his audience until moderator Glenn Thayer drew him into a closing Q&A. But Neumeier's voice and his PowerPoint slides told the story.
The experience was worse for participants attending via MPI's Virtual Access Pass, the online content feed, which broadcast images of the speaker but not his slides. "Marty maintained direct eye contact with his laptop computer while speaking," said blogger Michael McCurry. "It was a painful experience for virtual attendees, and about 15 minutes into the presentation, he lost me. I went AWOL (Attending Without Officially Listening)."
The discussion on McCurry's blog pointed to two underlying issues.The easy, obvious problem was with the visuals. Neumeier's slides were integral to his talk. For the online audience treated to a speaker staring intently at his laptop, the experience must have been mind-numbing, but the fault wasn't Neumeier's or MPI's. The slides were available, and it's mystifying that MPI's online vendor didn't include them in the virtual feed.
However,most of the online debate about Neumeier's talk focused on whether organizations should accept keynotes with rudimentary presentation skills in the first place, even if their content is stellar. Most felt MPI should have vetted Neumeier better and, ultimately, screened him out. In an inadvertent nod to Neumeier's formula for brand success (inadvertent, since they never saw the slides), McCurry's audience concluded that speakers can't just be good at style or good at substance: they must be both.
Yes, the best presentations deliver great education in an entertaining package. But sometimes, we expect to be spoonfed, and we assume our clients expect the same.
Over the years, I've covered dozens of technical talks that were dull, dry, or monotonous, some of them keynotes, that still contained essential information for their avid audiences. They were delivered by leading specialists who, I imagine, would have seen speaker training as a waste of their time.
In the other corner, we have meeting professionals whose job is to put fun and inspiration into the on-site experience.
When the two meet in the middle, the results can be transformative. But if we turn away the best knowledge just because it's delivered by someone who won't look up from his or her laptop, we undermine our clients' success and our own professional credibility.
On a very different topic: In the Olympic viewing lounge at MeetDifferent, after the Game That Shall Not Be Named, Canadian hockey fans assured their U.S. friends that they'd witnessed the Canadian men's B game. We knew we would see you again in the gold medal round, and figured we could afford to let our favo(u)rite neighbor(u)r win one. Now we have the rest of the story. Never mind that most of the NHLers on the Canadian men's squad play for U.S. teams … Canada rules!

Ask an Irishman what makes his Irish eyes smile and he'll likely say it's the brew in his glass.
"I love checking out all the Irish beers this time of year," said South Countian Mark Cobb who spent time this weekend comparing the Irish beer selections featured at Fenton's Friar Tuck. "My favorites are the Irish red ales. They have a nice malty flavor that tastes great with a plate of corned beef."
Irish red ales and Ireland's renowned dry, dark stouts will be the featured drink on countless St Patrick's Day tables. Each brew processes rich flavors worthy of consideration as an ingredient in everything from soup to a nut-laced chocolate cake. Brewmiesers and chefs agree, almost any recipe that calls for liquid could be replaced with beer.
See related article: A Delicious Irish Feast Using Beer as a Key Ingredient
When cooking with beer there are two rules to remember. First, don't be afraid to experiment. Second, don't cook with any beer you don't like drinking. If you don't like how a beer tastes in a glass you probably won't like it in your recipe.
I recommend novice beer cooks to begin slowly, using simple recipes first and experimenting slowly by adding beer to gravies, sauces and marinades. To make the flavors meld well in your recipes remember this: always reduce the beer down to help magnify the beer's flavor notes.
To decide which Irish beer to cook with will depend on the flavors you want. Stouts like Guinness and Murphy's are dark full-flavored brews with coffee notes that complement chocolate while red ales like Smithwick's have a mellow caramel flavor that is perfect for corned beef. Light, crisp Irish lagers like Harp possess yeasty and citrus flavor notes that are great additions to bread recipes and sauces.
To help decide which beer to buy check out the weekly beer tastings offered weekly at area liquor stores, such as Friar Tuck. Tastings usually are free for those old enough to indulge and provide beer reps on hand to answer questions on beer styles, flavors and pairing options.
St Patrick's Day is a prefect time to taste, cook and experiment with Irish beers. It's also fun to pair your beers with food. When cooking with beer it's a win-win; simply serve the dishes with the beer added to the recipe. It's an easy, savvy strategy that doesn't require the luck of the Irish to pull off.

In 96' I started a record label called 28 Days Records (distributed by Polygram/Ryko) while playing bass and writing songs in my band Moxie. Some of my songs are on Dawson's Creek, Joan of Arcadia and Men in Trees.
In 02' I broke free of the 9 to 5 rut and produced cultural events and did freelance publicity before beginning a series of conceptual art works of my own design like The Vomitorium and No Bush.
In 05' I created a solution for the lust for stuff. I call it Swap-O-Rama-Rama. A grant from Black Rock Arts got it off the ground. It has grown to over one hundred cities. Swap-O-Rama-Rama is now a non-profit organization via New York Foundation for the Arts and I put it in the commons.
In March of 2006 I made an oath to live a post consumer life and moved from NYC to Truth or Consequences, NM to study life hands on. I keep a blog called Holy Scrap to share these experiences.
I teach yoga and Sufi philosophy because I think contemplative life is important to happiness. I am a graduate of The Suluk Academy. I lead Zikr and offer guided retreats in Truth or Consequences, NM.
In 2011 I started a cottage industry. I make and sell botanicals that I make from wildcrafted plants in the Chihuahuan desert as well as home brew electronics made by my partner Mikey Sklar.
I authored a book about my efforts to create a decommodified life. It came out on June 5th, 2013 and went into reprint on June 10th! The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands-On Living is published by Storey Publishing. In May 2013 I begin a book tour come out and lets meet.
I have learned that the universe likes to be poked at by our intention. Sometimes it moves for me and I know that the smallest who can change the world.
