"LONG TIME SINCE YESTERDAY" Returns: Lucy Florence Cultural Center, December 3rd
By Francis Taylor
Sentinel Staff Writer
On December 3rd, the Lucy Florence Cultural Center will come alive with the return of the P. J. Gibson's award-winning stage play, "Long Time Since Yesterday." The five-time AUDELCO award winning play will run two consecutive weekends, Friday, December 3, 2010 through Sunday December 12, 2010.
"This play is for every race and gender and even though it's written by an African American playwright and has an all African American female cast. These characters are middle-aged women, but the message is universal. There is wisdom to be shared with younger women and answers questions that men have about women." Tiffany Y. Cousin, Director and Cast Member, said.
The intimate Lucy Florence venue will provide an excellent opportunity for the cast of eight extremely talented performers to display the full range of emotions that are part of the relationships, love, criticism, yet undeniable friendship between several black women who are re-united following the untimely demise of one of their sorority sisters.
The powerful dialogue, combined with the passionate and real-life-like performances delivered by the talented actors are sure to emote tears, laughter, joy and sadness while depicting strong yet tender, successful black women; like the mother, grandmother, or aunt that is familiar to most of us.
"This is a story about friendship, revealing secrets, female bonding, and the complexities of being professional, female, and black. I think anyone who appreciates stories about black women written by black women should come see this play. P.J. Gibson's writing is direct, funny, witty, provocative, and raw." Cast Member jaymeson jiles said.
Set in the mid-1980s, the play centers on a reunion of a group of middle-aged 'Sisters' who gather to grieve after the funeral of one of their college girlfriends. The story unfolds as the intertwined lives of these women are examined as each shares her insights into a life that ended with an unexpected suicide.
While the play does not engage in any male-bashing, it boldly confronts the issues that were prevalent in that period among black women including sex, race, politics, and gender, without flinching. The play reveals unabashedly the "strange closeness women have with women" and how it blurs the lines of the fragile boundaries between friendships and romantic love.
First staged in 1985, the play ran twice at the New Federal Theater in New York and won five prestigious AUDELCO awards, including Best Dramatic Production and Playwright of the Year. The last Los Angeles production was in 1995 and earned an NAACP Image Award for Best Director.
The play reunites two cast members, Kiana Tavasti, Co-Executive Producer, and
Tiffany Y. Cousin, Associate Producer/Director, who have produced numerous plays that highlight the stories of African American women as told by African American women playwrights. "Long Time Since Yesterday" is no exception as it is a story that not only explores the relationships between women, particularly African American women, but also reveals the complexities of being professional, middle-aged, female, and black.
"Through thick and thin, we will persevere until the end," Cast Member JoAnna Rhambo said in describing the relationships depicted onstage. "even though there may be arguments, disagreements and even fights, in the end we realize that we are sisters."
Cast Member Trish Redford added. "Long Time Since Yesterday" is an eye-opener. It's full of fun and discovery. You will laugh and cry."
Due to strong adult themes, "Long Time Since Yesterday" is open to mature audiences only. Tickets and more information may be obtained from the Lucy Florence Cultural Center, located in Leimert Park Village at 3351 West 43rd Street, Los Angeles, CA.(323/293-1356)

The Gainesville City Council and the Hall County Commission have given permission to Rochester and Associates to design sewage lines and a sewage pump station that would serve a future school complex and future developments on the South Hall road.
The project, which initially includes the installation of more than 11,000 linear feet of gravity sewer lines, 5,800 linear feet of force main lines and a pump station that has the capacity to pump between 1 million and 1.5 million gallons of sewage per day, is yet another step toward a sewer system for county residents.
The new lines, which should be operational by next summer, will carry sewage from Spout Springs Road to the county's recently acquired sewage treatment plant on the same road, said Gainesville Public Utilities engineer Mak Yari.
Rochester and Associates will spend 10 months and about $330,000 designing the sewage facilities on the project that must be completed by July 2009 since it involves sewage for the Hall County School system.
The project, which was originally intended for the residents in the Spout Springs area, was recently expanded to include sewer plans for a new middle and high school complex that is under construction on Spout Springs Road.
The school complex will include a 2,000-seat stadium and is expected to use a maximum of 580,000 gallons of sewage per day.
The Hall County Board of Education has offered to contribute $1 million and any required easements to the project, Yari told the county commission at a March 10 work session.
The rest of the project, currently estimated to be about $3.8 million in construction costs, will be paid for by the Hall County government, and the rest of the sewer capacity — anywhere between half a million and 1 million gallons per day — will be available for Spout Springs Road developments.
Hall County Commissioner Bobby Banks says the county intends to maintain the lines and said the sewer project is a step toward the county's independence from Gainesville's sewer program.
"It's a good move for Hall County to have our own sewer," Banks said.
Banks says the idea of a Hall County sewer program will keep South Hall residents from having their property annexed into Buford city limits in exchange for sewer service. Banks said the Hall County sewer should make it to Friendship Road in the next 10 years.
"It will eventually put the brakes on Buford," Banks said. "When Buford annexes, we lose school taxes, so that's not good."
Also, if the county had its own governmental sewer program, then it would no longer have to pay extra money to Gainesville's Public Utilities Department for managing the design and bidding of its sewer projects. Currently, the county must pay the city utility 5 percent of the costs associated with the design and bidding process of sewer projects in the southern area of unincorporated Hall County, according to an intergovernmental agreement called the Mulberry Creek agreement.
"(The agreement) basically says that we will go ahead and design and do the construction administration and operation of wastewater facilities in the Mulberry Creek basin and we will be reimbursed for the cost plus 5 percent," Yari said.
For the Spout Springs Road project in particular, the county will pay $25,400 to the Gainesville utility in management fees.
Banks says these costs are "reasonable."

Welcome to "You Like This," in which we ask chefs two questions: 1) What's the best-selling dish at your restaurant? and 2) What's your favorite dish at your restaurant? We hope the answer to the first question will open your eyes to the fan favorites and the Dallas palate, and that perhaps the answer to that second question will inspire you to go out on a kickass food limb once in a while. This week's You Like This features chef Brian C. Luscher from Luscher's Red Hots.
Hey chef! What's the best-selling dish at Luscher's?
The best selling dish at Luscher's Red Hots is actually a tie. The number one selling item is our signature item and our tribute to the classic Chicago dog: The Post Oak Red Hot. Pork and beef smoked frank on a pain au lait poppyseed bun with piccalilli, white onions, Lemley's tomatoes, pickled sport pepper and spicy brown mustard.
Neck and neck with that, which was a semi-second thought when putting together the original menu, is the media frenzy-inducing Uncle Herky Burger. It's two Local Yocal wagyu patties, American cheese, "prepared" mustard, fresh mayo, grilled onions, horseradish and pickle on a seeded bun.

What's your favorite item at the restaurant right now?
My favorite item is, and probably always will be, The Combo (Wet. Hot.). It's our "eye-talian" beef sandwich with sweet 'n' hot Italian sausage. But, the B.O.B. makes me very happy: Vital Farms egg, Luscher Country Breakfast Sausage, American cheese and Texas Pete Hot Sauce on a toasted, seeded bun. Money.
Don't sleep on the Greektown Gyro. I really think we've got this dialed in. The texture has got just the right bite. The flavor of the meat has the right balance of beef and lamb and garlic. Plop some cucumber-mint yogurt sauce (our version of tzatziki) on it and you've got a slam dunk wrapped in a home run.
Also, The Meat Fight sausage is pretty damned special, if I do say so myself.
I have loved Luscher's since the day I had a Post Oak Red Hot at the White Rock farmer's market. My husband has the daily specials at Luscher's memorized and has quite possibly eaten more meals there than Luscher himself. So, me telling you that the hot dog and hamburger and the everything there is amazing isn't really fair and balanced and unbiased. You're gonna have to go there and try it your dang self. And when you go, try something new. He's not wrong about that gyro. Get over to Luscher's. I promise, you like this.

RICHMOND, Va. - Chris Dillow of Waynesboro, Va., weighed a five-bass limit totaling 15 pounds, 5 ounces Saturday to win the Walmart Bass Fishing League Shenandoah Division event on the James River. For his victory, Dillow earned $6,046.
"The good Lord truly blessed me," said Dillow. "It was anyone's tournament out there. I was blessed with one big bite, a 6-pound, 15-ounce bass, that was the biggest fish of the tournament, and it was the difference maker."
Dillow fished multiple areas in an eight-mile stretch beginning at the mouth of the Appomattox River to Richmond. He said that he fished his own homemade Dillow's Perfect jig, which has won him multiple tournaments in the past, including a co-angler victory when the FLW Tour visited the Potomac River in 2012.
"I had to miss a few Shenandoah Division events this year due to some health problems, so I told my wife that I was going for the win and either going to be a hero or a zero," Dillow said. "I just beat on everything that I could find in the river. I was looking for big pilings, rock piles, brushpiles - basically everything that other guys weren't fishing.
"I only caught six fish all day," Dillow continued. "Most of them came by 10 a.m., during the high tide on the river. It really slowed down in the afternoon, and I didn't have many bites.
"The key for me out there was just keeping that jig in my hand," Dillow went on to say. "After my co-angler caught one on a worm, it got into my head and I really considered switching baits. I decided I was going to stick with the basics and either sink or swim. The Lord gave me that one big bite and it was my time."
Rounding out the top 10 pros:
2nd: Bryan Elrod, Mechanicsville, Va., five bass, 14-12, $2,023
3rd: Brandon Stapleton, Temperanceville, Va., five bass, 13-15, $1,348
4th: Cavin Young, Prince George, Va., five bass, 11-10, $944
5th: Kelly Pratt, Williamsburg, Va., five bass, 11-9, $809
6th: Eric Waff, Chester, Va., five bass, 11-8, $742
7th: Jeremy Taylor, Woodford, Va., five bass, 11-6, $674
8th: Mark Brannock, Chester, Va., five bass, 11-5, $573

Williams earns co-angler crown
David Williams of Fredericksburg, Va., weighed a five-bass limit totaling 11 pounds, 1 ounce Saturday to win $2,023 in the co-angler division.
Rounding out the top 10 co-anglers:
2nd: Mark Finley, Palmyra, Va., five bass, 10-3, $1,011
3rd: Carl Whipple, Manassas, Va., five bass, 9-8, $674
4th: Kermit Crowder, Matoaca, Va., five bass, 9-7, $472

10th: Kenneth Henderson, Fredericksburg, Va., five bass, 7-11, $236
Complete co-angler results can be found here.
The final BFL Shenandoah Division tournament of 2013 is scheduled for Sept. 21-22 on the Potomac River in Marbury, Md. After that last divisional tournament is complete, the top 40 boaters and 40 co-anglers based on point standings will qualify for the Oct. 3-5 Regional Championship on Chesapeake Bay in North East, Md. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518 with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard and a Chevy Silverado, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518 with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard.
The BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 120 tournaments throughout the season, five in each division. The top 40 boaters and co-anglers from each division qualify for a regional tournament and compete to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing - the Walmart BFL All-American presented by Chevy. Top winners in the BFL can move up to the EverStart Series or even the Walmart FLW Tour.

Kobe Bryant not planning to play in BIG3 league next year
NEW YORK (AP) - Kobe Bryant won't be coming out of retirement to play in the BIG3 next year.
A spokesperson for the longtime Los Angeles Lakers star said Tuesday that Bryant isn't playing next season in the 3-on-3 league of former NBA players.
Speculation that Bryant would play had heated up earlier in the day when league co-founder and entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz said during the league's weekly conference call that he "did hear from a credible source yesterday that Kobe says he's playing next year."
But Molly Carter, chief marketing officer of Kobe Inc., says the NBA's No. 3 career scorer has no plans to do so.
The BIG3 wraps up its second season with the championship game on Friday in Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

this is awesome!!!I am at the begining of moding my SC600 and I would love to incorporate a few of these channels as well! so if I understand it works with the original desk?if so are you going to sell the pannels and pcb?
Dario,The channel is in stand by now due to the impossibility to find the 2.5K potentiometer.I'm thinking to replace the SSL4000 transistor Preamp by the 82E01 transformer Preamp.Tell me how many channel you want ?
The channel is in stand by now due to the impossibility to find the 2.5K potentiometer.
Congratulations for your work.Amazing stuffSo what preamp circuit did you use in the end?
The preamp is the SSL9K but with a LM394 instead of a MAT-02 and it works like a charm.
Couple of questions. Are the push buttons mounted on one side of the PCB and the pots on the other. Is the faceplate a U shape or an L shape? Is it made of steel?CheersIan
Push buttons and potentiometers are mounted on both side of the PCB. The face plate is a 1.2mm U shape Aluminium sheet.
Is the U shape for mechanical strength? Is a simple flat panel not strong enough?

This is my take on "Morticia" a well known character recreated here in layers of Black & Red PVC, sculpted "flames" and "tears" each flashing their inner red pvc contrast, bodice fully lined in satin.
This outfit can be recreated in any size and if necessary colour and style modifications are possible with discussion.

"Oh f…"
I am staring at my son's willy and balls. I don't tend to make a habit of this, but on this occasion, I made an exception. Clustered all around his bits are spots. Great big, red spots. It's like my son has contracted some kind of STD.
I shout for back up and daddy appears.
"Oh f…" he frowns. "I'll put a fiver on chicken pox."
"Not herpes, then?"
He doesn't deem that my medical assessment warrants an answer.
And so, here it is. The pox. My first thought is to scan my mental diary, trying to work out just how much of a pain in the arse this was going to be in terms of work commitments. Sorry, my first thought was for the welfare and condition of my son. Of course it was. What was I thinking?
An incident the day before whilst on the way to school made a lot more sense now. E was complaining that he couldn't touch his head as it hurt too much. I suggested that he simply didn't touch his head to solve the problem, but he kept on mentioning it, convinced he had been stung by a wasp. This notion was down to the fact that a few weeks previously, he had been stung, and subsequently at every hint of pain, at every possibility of an ache, had claimed he had been stung. I told him the story about the boy who cried wasp but it didn't seem to make much difference. However, that morning he really did keep banging on and on… and on about it, until I was forced to inspect his scalp. I found nothing, but then parting his hair is a bit like trying to hack your way through the denser part of the Amazon jungle.
So, I put E to bed with a dose of Calpol inside him and a sense of trepidation as to how bad it might get. I then made the grave error of looking in 'What's That Rash?' (seriously, that is the title of the book. It is an A-Z of spots, rashes and pustules and is pretty much a GP's version of soft porn). The image of a child with chicken pox spots covering every available centimetre of skin stayed echoing on my retinas long after I slammed the book shut and slid it back into place on the shelf.
"Can you get chicken pox in the eye?" I ask the following morning as I inspect my son for pox progress. I peer at his left eyeball, distinctly bloodshot and red. My son shrugs his shoulders. It is a shame that he can tell me the colour of everybody's light sabres in Star Wars and how pirates punish their captives, but has nothing useful to say on the matter of eye pox.
I sigh. I am going to have to call for a GP's appointment. Which is a bit like saying I must find a unicorn's horn in the back garden. 'You are eighth in the queue…' a voice tells me once I had navigated the complex maze of options, designed specifically to weed out anyone who wasn't seriously committed to being ill. We are most of the way through breakfast before I get to speak to the receptionist, whose role is to write my son's name down on another list in order to speak to the duty doctor, who then might put him on a list for coming in to see them. I think Dante was a patient at our surgery. It's where he got the idea for the nine circles of hell from.
So whilst we wait for the call back, I realise that I have no suitable lunch materials and will have to take E to the supermarket. I make him wear his hoodie, with the hood up, and instruct him to deny all knowledge of chicken pox should anyone ask. As the face spots are not quite in full flow, we might get away with it.
Obviously, the GP calls as I am in the fish aisle, so I conduct the entire conversation about my pox-ridden son in very hushed tones. She doesn't like the sound of the eye thing, so asks us to come in, but not to take a seat. Chicken pox seems to be the modern version of leprosy. If she could have asked for my son not to touch anything, to breathe into a handkerchief and to have a man ringing a bell walk five paces in front of him, she would have.
It turns out that you can get pox in the eye and should this develop, we were advised to go straight to A&E. Oh good. Something to look forward to. It's been at least a few months since I spent four hours in that particular form of purgatory. The GP advised Calamine for the spots (not, I presumed, for the eye one) so I duly purchased a bottle, only to receive a tsunami of texts from friends advising me that this was the worst thing I could do, and should be using aqueous Calamine instead. This, I think, is the future of medical advice: crowd source it.
Seeing as my son seemed well in himself, I decided we could do some reading and maths games, mainly because I am a bit of a bitch like that, before the whole DVD-on-the-sofa- because-I-am-poorly ritual began. But by the afternoon, E was feeling a little sorry for himself as the realisation dawned that being home with mummy was actually quite dull when he could be at school with his mates building stuff, drawing, running around and generally having fun. By then, I was feeling a little sorry for my To Do list, which softly called to me from my desk, reminding me of all the things I wasn't doing, and tutting gently under its breath. I am not saying that I was not cut out to be a nurse, but I did find myself uttering the words 'just get it down your neck now' to my son as he was refusing to take a dose of Calpol for no ostensible reason other than he enjoyed seeing the veins on my neck bulge.
I prayed to Poxulese, the God of Childhood Illness, to make this a swift bout of chicken pox so that my son didn't suffer too much. And perhaps so that I could actually get some bloody work done. And all hail Poxulese, he stopped picking his scabs long enough to hear my plea and two days later, most of my son's spots were scabbing over. There was a brief dip in form when his temperature went stratospheric one evening, and I desperately tried to get him to take Ibuprofen which he point-blank refused. This led to an incident now known as Smartiegate: I bribed him to take his medicine by offering him some Smarties. Which he ate in bed. After he had cleaned his teeth. He was inordinately pleased with this surprising turn of events. I, however, felt sullied by my own inability to get a six year old to swallow a spoon of liquid. May Supernanny swoop down and put me on the naughty step for such an epic parenting fail. Either that or knock me flat with her prodigious bosom.
As fast as the pox had arrived, it left, and on the whole, it wasn't anywhere near as grim as I thought it would be. Bits of it were quite fun, like when we played imaginary dot-to-dot on his stomach and drew the Millennium Falcon. Some bits were not quite so much fun, like trying to persuade my son to let me dab cream onto his balls and willy. I won't be eating spotted dick for a while, that's for sure.
And now we are on Pox Watch with his two year old brother. It's got more red herrings, quizzical looks and cliff hangers than your average soap opera. So it's only a matter of time before the BBC commission it.

Seven-up England set for Canada clash
PUBLISHED: 07:51 21 June 2017 | UPDATED: 07:51 21 June 2017
England's men will face Canada for a place in the 2018 World Cup at the Olympic Park's Lee Valley Hockey & Tennis Centre on Thursday evening (8pm).
A 7-2 win over Korea, inspired by four goals from Sam Ward, made it 19 goals in four matches unbeaten for England at the Hockey World League semi-final event and sent the hosts through to the last eight.
The winners of that match will face the Netherlands or Pakistan in Saturday's semi-final.
Chris Griffiths was denied by the Korean goalkeeper early on, before Ward opened the scoring with a clever deflection at the near post from Henry Weir's right-wing cross.
England doubled their lead in the second quarter, with a classic three-man move that saw David Ames release Liam Sanford, who picked out Ward to tee up Ames for a strike high into the net.
Korea hit back before half time with a penalty corner drag flick from Jonghyun Jang and they were back on terms after the restart when Daeyeol Lee's hit from the top of the D was deflected in.
England regained the lead when Ward netted his fifth goal of the tournament, hammering a reverse stick strike into the roof of the net, and he soon completed his treble, lifting the ball over the keeper after Harry martin held off four Korean defenders to set up the chance.
Needing to win by eight clear goals to top their pool above Argentina, England removed keeper George Pinner for an extra outfield player.
And they scored three more times in the closing stages as co-captain Phil Roper helped himself to a brace and Ward notched his fourth of the night, to the delight of the home crowd.
A five-goal winning margin might not have been enough to clinch first place, but England will still go into the knockout stages with plenty of confidence as they look to secure their place in next year's finals in India.
Scotland will face Korea in the ninth-place play-off on Thuesday (11am) after a 1-1 draw with Canada in their last group match, while the there other quarter-final ties see Argentina take on Pakistan (1.15pm), India meet Malaysia (3.30pm) and the Netherlands face China (5.45pm).
Tickets for quarter-finals day start at £22.50 for adults and £7.50 for under-18s and allow access to all five games on the day.

Six Apart has announced that it is offering free pro accounts on TypePad to journalists and professional bloggers who recently lost their jobs.
A pro account differs from a basic in that it allows multiple authors and blogs as well as more storage and control over the design.
The Journalist Bailout Program is limited time only and also includes a spot in the Six Apart Media advertising program, promotion on Blogs.com and other information and advice in how to succeed in online journalism.
It's no $700 billion, that's for sure, but is a nice little perk for freelancers and out-of-work journalists.
"I know that journalists are a skeptical bunch, so I'm not trying to bullshit anyone: The TypePad Journalist Bailout Program is not a silver bullet," says Anil Dash in a recent blog post on the site. "It's not going to singlehandedly preserve the career and income of every working journalist who has a job today. And frankly, the response has been so overwhelming that we won't be able to accept every application at first."
It's all free (a $150 per year value, according to Six Apart), but to be eligible, you have to provide the company with a link to your most recent work.

Announcing the publication of my new book, Writing Fiction – What I Wish I'd Known When I Started. I've been pounding away at this game for over ten years, now, like the rest of the world.
Everyone will tell you, even editors, if they have time to couch a rejection in a soothing salve, will try to comfort you with, "If it was easy, everybody would be doing it." Newsflash! Everybody IS doing it. My theory is that of the 9 billion population on Planet Earth, 8 billion of them are writing fiction.
However, that's no reason to stop. If you have the urge, do it, but you need the right attitude, a mental and emotional resilience, and the desire to write for its own sake. If you find the going tough, my book might help you. I've picked the best of the knowledge and techniques I've collected along the way, and I'm inspired by some great mentors. I hope this distilled information will help you too. If I'd had this book when I started writing fiction, it would have saved me countless wasted hours and words.
My non-fiction book Writing Fiction is available on Amazon Kindle, and in KindleUnlimited, which means it's free to subscribers. Watch out for promo offers too, and for a CreateSpace edition.
I'd like to invite book reviewers. I don't want to go down the "paid reviews" route because that gets you into the whole valid review swamp and I want to avoid that. It's more hassle than it's worth. However, if you are a fiction writer, or book reviewer and you are willing to post up an impartial review, email me at ffr6464[at]gmail.com and I'll send you an access code.
Here's the link. It goes to Amazon.com because my readership is mostly in the US, but you'll also find it on Amazon.co.uk and other Amazon sites. Happy reading, and equally, happy writing!

How to Extract Files From Hiren's
Hiren's BootCD is loaded with PC resources that can help small business users remove viruses, back up software and employ other computer utilities like MiniXP. Once you boot the CD, you can use the menu to extract files that will install temporary versions of multiple applications used to repair and restore computer files. The setup and extraction is an easy process that can fix your computer problems.
Booting Hiren's BootCD
Insert Hiren's BootCD. If the computer is already started, you need to restart the computer. Once it starts up, press "Enter" on the keyboard to boot from the CD. On the main menu, use the keyboard to scroll down to "MiniXP" and press "Enter." A portable, temporary version of Windows XP will load that gives you access to all the BootCD files.
Program Launcher
Once the MiniXP fully loads, locate the "Program Launcher" on the desktop. Click on the "Programs" menu and view all of the categories. The programs are broken down into sections like "Antivirus/Spyware," "Backup," "Browsers/File Managers," "Cleaners," "Recovery" and "Startup." When a program is selected, a DOS window will automatically load to extract the files. A percentage meter will show how much of the file has been extracted. Once completed, the software will automatically load.
Software Errors
If you try to open the same application multiple times, the extraction will not work properly. To fix this error, click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop. Select the "B://" drive. Click on "Documents and Settings." Select the "User" folder and locate the "Application Data" folder. Delete all of the folders located in this folder. This will let you extract program files without any errors from previous extracts.
MiniXP operates using minimal visual and memory settings. Extracting and running multiple applications at the same time could cause the computer to operate slowly and inefficiently. Run one application at a time to make sure they work easily and can perform the tasks needed.

Room Types
Ochsner Medical Center - Kenner is committed to providing the best care possible.
Sometimes that means meeting your special requests, even providing a private room. However, because the health center cannot predict how many patients will require or prefer a private room, these requests cannot always be met.
Patient rooms are assigned daily by the nursing supervisor based on the medical needs of our patients and the availability of rooms. As a result, it may be necessary to place you in a semi-private room or move you from one room to another to provide the type of care your condition requires.
In the event that a room transfer is required and a private room is not available, Ochsner will place your name on a waiting list and move you into a private room as soon as one is available.
Additionally, Ochsner Medical Center - Kenner is unable to make reservations for private rooms in advance.
Telephones in Patient Rooms
Telephones are conveniently provided in all patient rooms. To make a local call, dial 9 and wait for the dial tone before calling. Long distance calls must be either collect or billed to your home or business phone.

System information: [ -, Windows 10, Other language, Google Chrome, MS Office 2010 64Bit, - ]
I'm sure it has already been discussed here many times, but I'm not able to find it. So here it goes.
I've had problems with a reference that didn't work as an in-text citation (because I had chosen the "only in the bibliography" option, now I realise), so I deleted from both the project and the text it and re-added it (cut and paste, that's all), so it could be added as an in-text citation. The problem now is that Citavi seems to have made a duplicated of the reference. It appears just one time in the bar of the Word add-on (and it's only one reference in the Citavi project as well), but it figures as two different references in the Bibliography and whenever I try to cite it, it randomly adds an "a" or a "b" as a suffix (it's either [Cuello, 2009a] or [Cuello, 2009b]).
It goes without saying that I don't want to have it that way, because it's just one source that I'm citing all these times. Could anybody give a helping hand and tell me what to do?
Thank you in advance.

10 things you need to know today: July 14, 2018
DOJ indicts 12 Russian intelligence officials for 2016 DNC hacking
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office on Friday indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers in relation to the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign emails in 2016. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said that the Russians intended to "interfere" in the election. Some 20,000 emails were stolen using "spearphishing" techniques and released via hackers Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks. "The conspirators communicated with several Americans," Rosenstein said, adding that there was "no indication" the Americans knew they were communicating with Russian agents. The indictment also does not say if the activities affected the final vote count. The announcement comes just days before President Trump's scheduled meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin; both leaders have repeatedly denied that the Kremlin meddled in the election. [C-SPAN, The New York Times]
Trump takes back criticism of Theresa May after incendiary Brexit comments
President Trump on Friday insisted that he had never criticized British Prime Minister Theresa May. Trump and May had a tense meeting after British tabloid The Sun published scathing comments from Trump, in which he slammed her Brexit plan and declared that he would've shaped it "much differently." If May's plan went forward, Trump was recorded saying, it would "probably kill" a trade deal between the U.S. and U.K. Trump falsely called the interview "fake news," and changed his tune at a joint press conference, claiming The Sun hadn't published his positive comments about May. Trump affirmed that the U.K. could exit the European Union however it wants, so long as "we can still trade together. That's all that matters." [ABC News, The Sun]
Lawmakers demand Trump cancel Putin summit after Mueller indictment
Democrats are calling for President Trump to cancel his Monday summit in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The outcry comes after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced indictments against 12 Kremlin agents on Friday for the 2016 hacking of the Democratic National Committee. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Trump's meeting should be canceled until Russia makes "demonstrable and transparent steps to prove that they won't interfere in future elections," while Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) said Russia must prove its willingness to "come back into the community of nations that respect the rule of law." Even Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) said Trump "must be willing to confront Putin," or else "the summit … should not move forward." [CNN, NBC News]
Judge orders Trump administration to pay to reunite migrant families
The Department of Health and Human Services will pay the costs associated with reuniting migrant families separated at the border, after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to "make it happen" on Friday. "It doesn't make any sense for any of the parents who have been separated to pay for anything," he said. A Justice Department attorney said the order was a "huge ask," but the judge sided with the ACLU, which argued that immigration officials were unjustly asking immigrant families to pay for DNA testing and logistical costs to be reunited. The administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy separated thousands of migrant children from their parents, and the government is still working to determine who is "eligible" for reunification. [Reuters, ACLU]
England, Belgium to fight for third place in penultimate World Cup match
The final weekend of the 2018 World Cup will kick off with the third-place match between Belgium and England on Saturday. Belgium fell to France in the semifinals, while England bowed to Croatia, landing each team in the third-place game in Saint Petersburg. Belgium's best World Cup finish, in 1986, saw them take fourth place, while England last won the World Cup in 1966. Croatia and France will square off for the championship title in Moscow on Sunday, with Les Bleus the heavy favorite to win. The next World Cup will be hosted in Qatar in 2022. [CBS Sports]
Trump faces another wave of protests while golfing in Scotland
President Trump arrived in Scotland on Saturday, on the last leg of his trip to the U.K. before he heads to Helsinki for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump was met with thousands of demonstrators who protested the president as he played golf at the Trump Turnberry resort. An estimated 10,000 people are expected to show up for the third straight day of protests against Trump's U.K. visit. The president additionally came under fire for describing his golf course as "magical" and "incredible," which some watchdogs called an unethical "infomercial" for his own business. First lady Melania Trump and Eric Trump are also with the president at Turnberry. [BBC, The New York Times]
Jeff Bezos' space tourism company announces $200,000 price tag
Are you ready for liftoff? Blue Origin, the space tourism rocket company founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, has at last announced the cost of a ticket to leave Earth's atmosphere. The first trips to space will start at $200,000 next year, with the high end price being $300,000. Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft takes adventurers 62 miles from the planet's surface, to suborbital space — where passengers will feel weightlessness and be able to see the curvature of the Earth. The detachable passenger capsule, with six big windows, then floats back to Earth using parachutes. So far Blue Origin has completed eight test flights, including two with a test dummy fondly nicknamed "Mannequin Skywalker," but none yet with actual humans. [Reuters]
Top intelligence official warns of increasing security concerns for midterm elections
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats issued a warning on Friday that U.S. infrastructure is at risk of cyberattacks that could affect the upcoming midterm elections. "The most aggressive," foreign actor, he said, is Russia. "These actions are persistent, they're pervasive and they are meant to undermine America's democracy," he said while speaking at an event. "The warning signs are there" that the U.S. is at a "critical point," he continued. State election officials are meeting this weekend to discuss the upcoming elections, and Friday's indictments of 12 Russian intelligence officers have placed new urgency on ensuring the integrity of election systems. Intelligence officials have said that Russian hackers targeted at least 21 states ahead of the 2016 election. [The Associated Press, Vox]
Conservative lawmakers eye impeachment effort for Rosenstein
House Republicans are reportedly working to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and are in the final stages of an impeachment filing. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows reportedly had the filing in hand when Rosenstein on Friday announced the indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers over their interference in the 2016 presidential election. Conservative lawmakers are looking to push Rosenstein out the door over his "slow-walking" of the probe into FBI agents accused of bias against the Trump administration. The effort has reportedly been underway for weeks, and the impeachment documents could be filed as soon as Monday. [Politico]
Harvey Weinstein admits he offered jobs 'in exchange for sex,' defends it as industry-wide
Just days after disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein pleaded not guilty to new charges of sexual assault, he defended his actions as a mere symptom of an industry-wide problem. "Yes, I did offer them acting jobs in exchange for sex, but so did and still does everyone," he said. "But I never, ever forced myself on a single woman." Weinstein's attorney later said that Weinstein "never said" such a thing. Weinstein has been accused of wrongdoing by dozens of women, and in May, he surrendered to police after being charged with two rape counts and one criminal sexual act against two women. He faces life in prison, but is currently free on $1 million bail. [The Spectator]

PORTSMOUTH — Even on a sunny, dry afternoon in Grafton County, they were stuck in the mud.
PORTSMOUTH — Even on a sunny, dry afternoon in Grafton County, they were stuck in the mud.
The Portsmouth High School football team heads back to Plymouth for the Division II championship game on Saturday (1 p.m.) and one thing it doesn't want to repeat from its last trip there is its slow start.
In the Oct. 19 meeting between the Division II heavyweights, the Clippers (10-1) were limited to 19 first-half plays and just 71 yards.
Part of that was the run-oriented Bobcats (10-1) crafting two time-consuming scoring drives, but the other part was their own offensive inefficiency, going 1-for-3 on third-down conversions and throwing an interception to kill their final possession at midfield.
Down 15-0 at halftime and 22-7 early in the fourth quarter, the Clippers would ultimately right the ship and win in come-from-behind fashion, 27-22. But nobody thinks that's a very sound strategy this time around.
"It is a concern, especially against a team like Plymouth," said quarterback Donovan Phanor. "If we come out that slow again, they're going to blow us right out of the water. We can't have that happen again."
"Definitely got to hit them early," said fullback Mikel Toar.
The Clippers, who come in averaging 38.2 points, have been flipping the switch of their high-octane offense on and off for more than a month now. In the regular-season finale against Hanover, they were ragged in stretches and needed a 20-yard field goal from Ian Troost as time expired to secure the 24-21 win.
In last week's 18-14 win over third-seeded Trinity in the semifinals, their first five possessions produced just five first downs. But after halftime, their offensive line began taking control, paving the way for Toar (77 yards) and Phanor (79) to move the chains.
"Second half, Mike T didn't even have to hit a guy until he got five yards and then he'd get five more yards," said lineman Patrick Glynn. "Everyone was clicking in the second half."
The Clippers would love to be clicking from the start on Saturday.

How to Repair Peeling Fake Leather
Fake leather has a look reminiscent of true leather at far lower cost, but with the lower cost comes lower quality, meaning the material wears a lot quicker than true leather. When fake leather begins to peel and crack, a vinyl and leather repair kit with included tints allows you to make a repair that closely matches the shade of the material.
Mix It Up
The first part of making the repair is mixing up a color that matches the fake leather. Scoop some of the repair substance into the empty container included in the leather repair kit, then add bits of the included tints needed to match the project's color as closely as possible.
Fix It Up
To repair the peeling areas, apply the tinted repair substance over the damage using the spatula tool included in the repair kit. Feather some of the color out beyond the damage to help it blend in to the surrounding area. Heat up an iron to medium heat or as recommended on the repair kit, then place the leather graining paper grain-side down over the repair. Iron the back of the paper to heat-set the repair solution and give it a leather-like texture.
