Dec 7, 20128Maybe critics gave it so much crap because this season is about religion based murders but I honestly think it's the second best season of the show (behind Season 4 of course). DDK (Doomsday Killer) is a very entertaining villain and gives Trinity a run for his money as the show's best villain.

Jan 3, 20128Not as good as the other seasons. Leaned more towards religion and the difficult subject about God, but sometimes a show calls for uncomfortable topics. I enjoy the routine Dexter of previous seasons. This season was more complex and dealt with sensitive issues, especially incest and religion. Experimental!
Nov 9, 20129It couldn't have gone any deeper than it did since Hanks' character is a bit too insane for Dexter to relate to; however, the show is compelling as ever. It's unmissable.

Jan 9, 20127The fist half of this season was amazing. BUT, the second half, with perhaps a few expectations was such a missed oppurtunity, and a big let down. Brother Sam was a great character though, and his story was great.
Jul 30, 20128
Dec 17, 20118This season has its ups and it's downs. We can all agree that season 4 was the best, but season 6 isn't bad. Don't see why it's getting scored so low. Some things in this season are very weird making me only give it a 8.
Oct 4, 201110
Oct 28, 20127This season started with a lot of promise but had a hard time living up to it. With an episode halfway through, "Nebraska", that we could have easily lived without this season was just a bit of a let down, that is until the last 10 minutes of the finale. If the rest of the season was like the finale, we would have had another season 4.
Oct 2, 201110I agree that the mainstream critics have thus far rated this opening too low. It was excellent, and the new "badies" are chillingly sinister. This looks to be an awesome season!

Oct 3, 201110The season six premiere of Dexter was very funny and entertaining. I don't know if the rest of the season will be as good as the premiere, but i'm hoping for the best.
Dec 1, 20119Critics say that Dexter it's not what it used to be. I disagree. However, I must say it's, at this point, the worst season of Dexter. It's not the worst, it's the less good.
Dec 19, 201110
Jan 10, 201210Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk. Great season. Great potential for the future. Dex and deb sittin in a tree.. k-i-l-l-i-n-g. Who doesn't want to see that.
Oct 2, 201110As good as ever. Ignore the mainstream critics! This is going to be an Epic season. So glad its starting now, because Breaking Bad's season ends next week. Walking Dead+Dexter = Pure TV watching goodness!
Dec 21, 201110Great great last episodes of year 2011. It took some time for this rather uneven season to reach cruising speed. Yet not at the quality level of season 5, season 6 is now mature and showing very good and very promising things. Looking impatiently forward to next episodes
Nov 2, 201110Amazing season, I don't know if they are doing it on purpose but the even seasons (2,4 and now 6) are amazing, Dexter season 4 was by far the best on all dimensions and this season is shaping up to be quite as good if not better
Mar 28, 201210
Dec 19, 201110
Feb 1, 201210Well, since I love the Dexter series, and critics rate Homeland 1 ( which I loved too) a perfect 10, I have to rate Dexter 6 an 11, like season 5. (The first season of Dexter may have been a 15, in retrospect.) Dexter is above regular series, but it has been noticed by the mainstream, bored viewers and critics. Keep going your own way, Dexter. Don't compete with the middle masses.
Nov 13, 20117
Oct 18, 201110It's a great show. It has great actors, a great plot, and great character development. Season 6 of Dexter is just as good as any other, and possibly even better.
That's all there is to say. -
Oct 2, 201110
Dec 11, 201110The season is as good as ever. A must see. Don't believe the critic in the yellow.
Oct 17, 201110I personally think that the new season is amazing. It is definitely as good as ever, Michael C. Hall is in the first episode amazing, especially in his high school 20th anniversary reunion.

May 27, 20120Ohh my f... god.... this must be the WORSE season of a GREAT show that use to be, long time ago, very good... now I see how **** a show can become... don't know if it's fame/money... or simply a sentiment of WTF, WATHEVER... we are all famous, and rich... let's do whatever we want...
crap... simply the BIGGEST DECLINE in a TV show QUALITY, EVER!!!!!! -
Oct 4, 2011Welcome to the nostalgia effect, Season 5 gets rave reviews because season four was amazing. While Season six is getting worst review. Sad thing is, this first episode alone, is better then anything season five pooped out.
Dec 19, 201110The season was great but final episode was a big bust. But I still loved this years season. In order of seasons I like from best to worse it have to go 1,4,2,6,5, and 3. Can't wate for 7 how will everything turn out u think??
Oct 4, 201110This is a great show, I agree ignore the critics. Season 4 was a great one, this one should beat it for sure. The premier was great and funny, very entertaining Tv. I love it and can't wait for more!
Jan 2, 20120The overall feel of the show was much darker and more believable. Now it's almost family friendly watching akin to a mid-afternoon soap. Yes there are swears, but there is so much melodrama and contrived scenarios that the series loses all tension and you lose all attachment to the characters you watch on screen.
Oct 3, 20115This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Oct 6, 20114There seems to be a low production value that really bothers me. The lighting seems very generic and too bright. The camera angels are boring and shaky. I felt like I was watching a day time soap.

50If there's a TV writers' version of Stockholm syndrome, Dexter is Exhibit A.
58After a lively and appealingly hilarious premiere, Dexter goes entirely off the rails with two episodes hobbled by clumsy victims-of-the-week and then crushed with endless repetition of the core theme.
50Having peaked a few seasons back in the amazing John Lithgow season, Showtime's hit Dexter at least seems to be enjoying itself as year six kicks off.

"My first Felina bra.. came back for more!"
Sarah Yao on 11/5/2012 11:12:39 PM
Size: 34C
Review: I picked up the lilac color bra from a store that was recently closed. I fell in love with it! It fits perfectly for me. Soft romantic look, and made me feel sexy : ) It's the reason I visited the website to check out more Felina stuff. I ordered the matching thong. A bit on the pricy side without being on sale. It's very comfortable and the small fits me well. However, the same size bra (but nude color) I newly ordered feels a little small on me. Due to storm Sandy, by the time I received the package and tried it on, it's beyong the 5 day return policy. I'd prefer exchange it for a different style of equal value.

The Lady Bears came out firing against East Surry and won 81-67 Tuesday.
Mount Airy came into the game having scored just 70 points in the past two games combined, but posted 26 points in the first quarter and 48 by halftime.
Alex Atkins scorched the nets with six three-pointers on the way to a team-high 22 points.
She hit three three-pointers and a fast-break layup for 11 points in the fourth quarter after East had mounted a furious rally to tie the game at the end of the third.
Seven players scored two or more baskets in the first half for the Bears, led by Kathryn Beasley with nine.
The Bears led 26-18 after the first quarter, then pushed it to 10 about 80 seconds into the next period.
East's Kacie Markle and Keri Fulp hit four free throws to make it a six-point margin, but Atkins and Davi Barbour hit threes. Then after a steal, Symone Simmons made a layup for a 40-28 game.
Atkins followed with her second three, and Mikayla Seivers completed a three-point play for a 46-28 lead.
When Beasley hit a pullup jumper in front of Fulp, the lead reached 20.
Before the half, East's Gabi Jessup and Sydney Mosley scored to inch closer at 48-32 at the break. Mosley posted 16 points in the first half.
"The pace was really in our favor," said Bear Coach Howard Mayo.
East Surry's coach agreed.
"We played their game, and we lost," said Keith Gunter. "We didn't execute our game plan. We didn't get back on defense and didn't close out on shooters."
The Cards took control of the third quarter, outscoring the Bears 16-3 to tie the game at 51 on an inside basket by Sydney Marion.
Jessup sparked the run with eight points, including three of the first four baskets in the half.
Jessup played off Fulp getting double-teamed, said Gunter. That shows the importance of getting Fulp involved on offense.
"We see it as a coaching staff, but it's got to carry over to the girls on the floor," he said.
In that third quarter, he said, "We did a better job of executing our game plan and put more pressure on them defensively."
After Jessup's hot start, the Bears had to play her more honestly, and then Fulp joined in with seven of her game-high 25 points.
Atkins hit a three to give the Bears a 54-51 lead, but Mosley hit one free throw and Lauren Thompson made a steal and converted two more free throws with 1.8 seconds left to tie the score again at 54 going into the fourth.
East Surry had reached the bonus by then, but Mount Airy had been content to stay outside shooting jumpers. The Cards didn't have a single team foul in the third, and Bears Coach Howard Mayo must have noticed that, too.
The Bears opened the fourth by driving hard into the paint repeatedly.
After not shooting a single foul shot in the third, the Bears had five in the first 71 seconds, including a second three-point play for Seivers.
The girls did a better job of attacking the basket in the fourth, said Mayo.
Then with the defense sagging back inside, Atkins hit her fourth and fifth three-pointers of the game, finishing off a 12-0 start.
Fulp tried to bring the Cards back, scoring eight points including 6-6 from the line.
However, Atkins scored on a breakaway layup and her last three, and Beasley went 6-8 at the line to hold off any comeback.
"It was good to see the girls step up in that situation and make their free throws," said Mayo.
"They had a lot of confidence after they jumped up to that big lead," Gunter said of the Bears.
After Atkins' 22, the Bears were led by Beasley 15, Barbour and Seivers 12 each, Jasmine Varney seven, Simmons and Andi Moore five each and Dana Brown three.
Seivers had eight of the Bears' 21 assists. Beasley led the team with seven boards.
For East, after Fulp's 25, the scoring came from Mosley 24, Jessup 12, and two each from Thompson, Marion and Markle.
Fulp had 13 boards and three assists. Mosley had five assists and Jessup three. Thompson led the defense with four steals.
The Cards started the season 12-1 and were in second place in the Northwest Conference. Now the team has lost its past two games including Friday's one-point game with North Surry.
That puts East Surry (5-3) a half-game behind Surry Central and Bishop McGuinness (5-2).
For Mount Airy, the season has been split in half. The Bears started the season 6-1, then went 1-5 before this game.
At 8-6, 3-5 in the Northwest, the Bears are now just ahead of West Stokes and South Stokes (2-5 each) and half a game behind Winston-Salem Prep (3-4) in the battle for fifth place.
"I think we play in the best conference in the state because night in and night out, any team can win," said Mayo. A big win like this should give the Bears the confidence to play against anyone come the state 1A playoffs, he added.
East Surry travels to West Stokes on Friday, while the Bears travel to Carroll County, Va., today before hosting rival North Surry on Friday.

Roma Violenta
CD (Item 433839) Beat (Italy), 1975 — Condition: New Copy
One of the greatest Italian crime soundtracks of all time – a totally groovy little record that's done in a style that's quite different than American crime scores of the time, but still completely wonderful! Most of the instrumentation here is relatively spare – almost a small combo funk approach to scoring for a cop film, but done with the penchant for isolated focus on a key instrument that makes Italian soundtracks so great. There's no full horns nor funky orchestrations – and in their place are stepping bass bits, lightly dancing keyboards, and plenty of guitar parts – some jamming, some nicely spacey with a really eerie feel! The sound is great – never as cheesy as other Italian work from the mid to late 70s – and there's a grittier feel here than you'd expect, one that really keeps things interesting. CD features note in English and Italian, and a total of 23 tracks that include "The Reason Of A Just War", "The Punitive Justice", "The Other Face", "Undercover Investigation", "Gangster Story", "Casa Di Muda", and "Chicca". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Windows Phone 8 Quick Tip: Audible Caller ID
One of the new renovated features of Windows Phone 8 is the audible Caller ID. But not everyone wants their Windows Phone to announce incoming calls. Sure it's a neat feature but can be annoying and not really appropriate in certain situations. But how do you disable this feature?
You might think the audible Caller ID would be found under the Speech settings as audio confirmations but it's actually under the Ease of Access settings. The Ease of Access covers settings for text size, a high contrast screen, a screen magnifier and speech for phone accessibility.
If you're not too keen on incoming calls being announced, just turn the speech for phone accessibility option off. This will disable audible Caller ID, call forwarding and speed dialing. I could see the need for separating these three features but for now, I'll use Voice Commands for speed dialing and live without Caller ID announcements.
There are 39 comments. Sign in to commenttheonedunn says:
This feature is baked into windows phone 7.5. HTC Trophy.

Unless you have a hearing aid, you should have it turned off as you won't need it.
MaulerX says:
I could have sworn my HTC Titan had this feature. But I agree, I wouldn't want people around me knowing who's calling me.
Also, the 920 (at least mine) has this feature off by default. But it's still good to know where its at for those times when you're alone and don't mind hearing something different.

Loved this in 7.5 on my Samsung Focus. One of the first things I did was turn it on for my 920. the only time I turn this off is when I am at my girlfriends, don't want the phone announcing my wife is calling.
theonedunn says:
Easy fix, change your wife's name to Roger and your girlfriend's name to Carl.

Wtf dude are you serious?
ladydias says:
Please tell me you're joking. *-*

I am definitly joking.
My wife thought it was funny.

mitsuyager9 says:
UUrrghh...thank you so much for posting this!! I turned it on and couldnt figure out where it was again haha
Ticomfreak says:
Had this both on my AT&T HTC Titan and HD7S
Decepticon 6 says:
I think it's a great feature. If I don't have my Bluetooth on me and the phone isn't on my body, it's convenient to hear who is calling. People that hear my phone get a kick out of it because they don't hear it on other OS'.
M0stlyHarmless says:
I don't get it. What exactly does it do? Does it Show on the display who is calling? And you can turn it off, so it does only say 'unknown caller'?
ankurjain1702 says:
It seems this feature is only available in US as my Samsung Omnia W does not have 'ease of access' option under settings
ETjon says:
This is NOT a new windows 8 feature. I turned it on a long time ago on my HD7 and couldn't figure out why it was announcing who was calling. I wanted to hear my ringtone not the phone's voice. I finally figured out what setting it was that I had turned on, and turned it off.
insi says:
This feature is missing in the german version of the NL 920. It is also unavailable on the NL 800 and the HD7 (german versions).
There's only font size, high contrast mode, screen magnifier and TTY/TDD. Does anyone know what TTY/TDD is???
weepatc says:
Also missing on my Sim free UK HTC 8x. Wouldn't use it anyway so no big deal.
wp7USER says:
I don't know what it is but I do remember on my HTC Radar that every time I turned it on, my phone would then announce who's calling.
Narr says:
TTY/TDD devices (Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf) - no I had no idea either :)
droppedlife says:
FYI to all. This feature is only present if you go "settings , speech" and under "speech language" select or download and select "english (United States)". I use English (United Kingdom) to be diffrent and this option goes away under "ease of access".
wp7USER says:
Actually this feature is present if you change your Country/Region under language+region to United States for those of you who are not seeing this feature listed under ease of access. Your phone will require a restart. Just tried it and it worked, am using a Rogers lumia 920.
Achilles Heal says:
As mentioned by some, I don't see this option with my Lumia 920 configured for Canada. However, under the Speech setting, I can choose to limit the speech response to off, or limited to when I have my headset on, or to only when Bluetooth-connected - the latter being very useful in conjunction with my car stereo to make "hands free" operation very effective.
sfh1975 says:
Thanks :)
Amitav Mishra says:
I have recenyly bought a Nokia Lumia 520 with Windows 8. I want to enable talking caller ID. But under ease of access-> I am not finding the option " speech for Phone accessibility".
Please help to resolve this issue. In my previous phone Nokia C6-01, talking caller ID was working perfectly.

Do not bleach.
Do not use dryer sheets, fabric softeners or detergents with fabric softener, as they will make the surface of your Skidless slick.

Health Information
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
Topic Overview
What is phenylketonuria (PKU)?
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare Reference genetic disorder Opens New Window in which the body cannot break down an amino acid called phenylalanine (say "fehn-uhl-AL-uh-neen"), which is a part of protein. This substance is found in breast milk, many types of baby formula, and most foods, especially those with a lot of protein, such as meat, eggs, and dairy products. If PKU is not treated, phenylalanine can build up in the blood and lead to intellectual disability and problems with the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
The good news is that early treatment can prevent all or most problems. Babies born with PKU need to start treatment with special formula soon after birth.
What causes PKU?
PKU is passed down through families. To have the disease, a baby must get the gene from both parents. If a baby gets the gene from only one parent, he or she is a Reference carrier Opens New Window of the PKU gene but does not have the disease.
If you have a child with PKU and are thinking about having another baby, you may want to get Reference genetic counseling Opens New Window. If you have a family history of PKU, talk with your doctor about genetic testing if you want to find out whether you carry the gene.
What are the symptoms?
If PKU is not found and treated soon after birth, symptoms usually start to appear within a few months after birth. (It takes time for the phenylalanine to build up in the baby's body.)
Early symptoms of PKU in a baby may include:
- A musty odor to the skin, hair, and urine.
- Skin problems.
- Losing weight from vomiting and diarrhea.
- Acting fussy.
- Being sensitive to light.
Without early treatment, the child may have growth problems, Reference developmental delays Opens New Window, Reference seizures Opens New Window, and severe Reference intellectual disability Opens New Window.
How is PKU diagnosed?
Screening is recommended for all newborns within a few days after birth.Reference 1 If the PKU screening test shows that your baby has a phenylalanine problem, the doctor will do further testing to check whether your baby has PKU.
Finding and starting treatment for PKU early usually can prevent brain damage and other long-term problems.
What treatment do children with PKU need?
The main treatment for PKU is a lifelong reduced-protein diet. Problems are less likely to occur if your baby starts a PKU diet by age 3 weeks. Your baby's doctor can help you choose a formula that doesn't contain phenylalanine. You may be able to feed your baby some breast milk, but talk to your baby's doctor first. As your child gets older, a Reference registered dietitian Opens New Window can help you choose the right foods and recipes.
The medicine sapropterin (Kuvan) may help lower phenylalanine levels in some children who have PKU. More studies are needed to find out the health effects from long-term use. With or without the medicine, your child still needs to follow a PKU diet.
Your child will need regular blood tests. He or she may get tested as often as once a week for the first year and then once or twice a month throughout childhood.
It's normal to feel a wide range of emotions when your child has an illness like PKU. You may want to join a support group. Your doctor can also help.
What treatment do adults with PKU need?
People who have PKU need to follow a reduced-protein diet throughout their lives. For a few people, treatment with sapropterin (Kuvan) may help when used with a PKU diet. Talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of this medicine.
You'll need regular blood tests to check your phenylalanine level. Testing once a month is suggested.Reference 2 If the level builds up, it can affect your IQ and your ability to learn, think, and understand.
Any woman with PKU who is planning to have a baby needs to be very careful to control her phenylalanine levels. Babies born to mothers who have high levels of phenylalanine are at risk for having a very small head, intellectual disability, growth problems, and heart problems. Having regular blood tests and following the PKU diet before and during pregnancy can help protect the baby.

Whilst browsing the Photos and News forums recently I've noticed how many pages there are in each of them ... making it pretty hard to go back through each of those forums to search for specific stuff. Now we have the ability to have subforums here I'm thinking it might be a good idea to 'archive' older posts, ie having subforums in each of these two forums for 2005, 2006 etc. content.
While I'm not a fan of having too many subforums and sub-sub forums etc. because it can get confusing, I think it may be more organised this way ... What do you think?

Ready, Set, Home: Bat Houses
By: Arkansas Today
Updated: December 21, 2012
This is a purple marten house. They're great guys to have around our new house. They eat mosquitoes all day long, but bats eat mosquitoes all night long. And poor bats, they're the most misunderstood maligned creatures on earth. People think they get stuck in their hair, they attack, they suck your blood. They do no such thing.
What they do do is eat a thousand mosquitoes an hour, all night long. And what you wanna do is attract them to your yard to cut down on the mosquitoes, and you do that by building them a bat house.
Building a bat house is really a pretty simple affair, but you will need a good set of plans. The U.S. Geological Survey, and a bat house is simply a bottomless box with slats inside where bats can roost during the day.
You'll need two 10 foot 1x12's, like this. Rough-cut cedar is the best. As you put it together, build crevices for them to fly in. This is the bottom of the box. They'll fly in here, climb up that roughened lumber, and roost here by day. At night they'll come out to eat insects all night long. Bats need it really warm. In fact, most of them brood at a temperature of 90 to 110 degrees, so you wanna seal out outside air. If you live in the north you may actually wanna paint your bat house black so that it absorbs the sun's rays. It needs to be about 15 feet in the air, and if it's possible to be within 500 feet of water, that would be a good thing, almost a sure fire way to attract bats to the backyard at your new house.

Hockey Hands!!!
Anyone who personally knows a hockey player, whether it's parents, siblings, close friends or girlfriends/wives, is familiar with the distinct smell of hockey hands!!! Hockey gloves seem to absorb a lot of sweat throughout the course of a practice, game, and especially an entire season. So much so, that many players actually switch gloves between periods, because the grip on their stick becomes too slippery from all of the sweat. As you can imagine over time that sweat starts to develop a strong scent that can be rather unfortunate for the untrained nostril.

Starkville's Jeff Jernagin signs with East Mississippi basketball program |
SCOOBA, Miss. – Starkville High School's Jeff Jernagin has signed with the East Mississippi Community College men's basketball program. The announcement was made Friday by EMCC men's basketball coach Mark White. A 6-foot-4, 205-pound forward, Jernagin ranked as Starkville's third-leading scorer and second-best rebounder at 12 points and eight boards per game this past season. For his efforts on and off the field as a senior on SHS's 21-5 squad, Jernagin earned the team's Best Defensive Player Award and was the recipient of the prestigious Yellowjacket Award for his character, leadership and work ethic qualities displayed during the 2008-09 season. A three-year basketball letterman for SHS head coach Greg Carter, Jernagin garnered the team's Most Improved Player Award as a junior. He will be reunited at East Mississippi with former Starkville hoops teammate Eduardo Fumo, who has signed with EMCC's soccer program. "Based on the success we've had with Starkville players in our program at EMCC, we know Jeff is coming from a solid high school program under the guidance of an outstanding head coach in Greg Carter," White noted. "Jeff is very athletic and is an excellent rebounder. We believe he will benefit greatly from our individual improvement workouts as well as our strength and conditioning program at East Mississippi." Jernagin joins previously announced EMCC men's basketball signees Deonte Alexander of Nashville's Glencliff High School, Meridian's Donovan Walker, and Joe McCoy of Raymond. |

Last year, Dr. Kiran Sagar, a cardiologist in Wisconsin, was fired two months after presenting strong data showing that cardiologists in the hospital she worked at misread a substantial number of heart tests. Similarly, a nurse from Columbia Hospital Corp. of America (HCA) was let go after complaining that a doctor was performing unnecessary cardiac procedures, even after an internal investigation found the nurse's claim to be substantiated. And a few weeks ago, the CBS News program "60 Minutes" reported on ER doctors fired for not meeting quotas on the percentage of patients they admitted to the hospital.
These recent patterns of firings send yet another strong message to every doctor and nurse who has ever considered speaking up about dangerous and fraudulent medical care: Speak up and risk destroying your career.
The culture of health care needs to change. Medical mistakes cause too many needless harm or deaths, yet few people see the problem in this context because we rarely have an open and honest conversation about the quality of health care in America. When we do, it is often behind closed doors. This is a challenge that a new generation of doctors is working to change through initiatives ranging from more transparent bedside care to public reporting of hospital performance.
Doctors and nurses increasingly feel disconnected from policymakers and even their own hospitals, some of which have transformed into giant corporations. Despite concerns from the Federal Trade Commission that costs will go up for consumers, hospital mega-mergers are on the rise.
This past year saw a large number of hospital mergers and acquisitions in health care. While some hospital executives have commendably used a hospital chain's large size to standardize best practices, others have fallen into the age-old management trap of detaching themselves from the front lines and becoming dangerously out of touch with their own staff.
I talk to doctors and nurses around the country every week. One trend that seems clear is that more doctors and nurses are feeling frustrated. A recent national study by Mayo Clinic researchers shows that doctor burnout rate is now up to a staggering 46%.
A new phenomenon, quite different from when my father practiced medicine, is that doctors and nurses now say they feel like they are tenants working for their landlord: the hospital management. Often, doctors and nurses know how to make care better and safer but feel stripped of the power to make necessary changes.
This worker-management disconnect (even antagonism) in any industry is dangerous. In medicine this workplace atmosphere, complicated by perverse economic incentives and weak systems of accountability, contributes to a hospital culture marked by a lack of a sense of communal ownership in the overall delivery of care. What results is a poorer quality of care, more overtreatment, more fraud, more medical mistakes, and more patients falling through the cracks.
According to a 2009 CBS-New York Times poll, 77% of Americans say they are satisfied with the quality of their health care. But what makes people think the health care they're receiving is good? Very little. A Harvard study published in the New England Journal of Medicine reported an alarming fact: 18% of patients were actually harmed by medical care. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that up to 30% of health care procedures, tests and other services do not improve health outcomes.
For instance, if you had a medical condition, would you go to a hospital that has performed more than 1,000 unnecessary procedures? Probably not.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio – The 24th annual University of Rio Grande / Rio Grande Community College Juried Student Art Show opened Tuesday at the Esther Allen Greer Museum.
The exhibition runs through May 11 with 48 pieces from 20 student artists on display.
"This is always one of our better attended openings," Art Professor and Greer Museum Director James Allen said. "It runs the full gamut of media and exploration of what art is."
The exhibition features a wide spectrum of talents and perspective, as Allen said Rio faculty stress to students throughout the year to challenge the definition of art.
The annual exhibition serves as a significant accomplishment for those selected through the juried process. Jurors are comprised of Rio faculty along with one external invite: Shawnee State University Professor of Photography Allyson Klutenkamper.
"The work was fantastic. It was really pleasant to see such a wide variety of work in different mediums, as well as the extraordinary talents that Rio students display in the Arts," Klutenkamper said. "It's impressive for the fact that they are students; it was all very professional."

What Does Leadership Require?
Leadership can be tricky. Expectations creep in stronger while vision continually leaks. It's not easy to create engaging, creative, and collaborative environments. Further, leaders are human which means we're 100% guaranteed to make mistakes, mess up, and fail from time to time.
But don't give up hope – great creative cultures can be built. It takes very intentional work and remembering a few important behaviors:
The gift of not always being right.
As a leader, we don't have to know everything. The illusion of control will kill us if that is our goal. We have teammates for a reason – use them. Allow teammates to do what they do and shine and accept that we're not going to be always right. That is what makes our team strength not a personal weakness.
Willingness to admit and own mistakes.
Own our personal mistakes will happen. It will set a tone for teammates to do the same and not try to hide errors, but be willing to share them so teams can adjust.
Grace to coach.
When things go wrong, use the moment to coach but don't hold on to the issue personally. Remember to extend grace to the level you would want grace extended to you . . . all the while holding people accountable for their responsibilities and for getting better.
Protection from the haters.
Protect our artists. As a leader, we are responsible to buffer for our teams. Let them create passionately without the fear of haters.
Hustle from the top down.
Simply: the pace of the leader is the pace of the team. It's not about 80-hour work weeks, but about how we approach the hours we do work.
Tell the truth.
Leaders have to make hard decisions at times. Be upfront and honest at all times.
Set expectations.
Staying on the same page as the rest of your team is crucial. Set the stage for success by being clear on what is expected and what roles are required to be filled. When team members fail to meet these expectations, be willing to coach and create a path to their success.
Value people
People are not widgets. Treat them like people. Think about them as people—not spots on an Org chart. Engage them and relationships with them so you know WHO they are not just what they do.
Treat everyone fair, but not the same.
People are different and need to be approached differently. Everyone will not be treated the same, but everyone should be treated fair. Make sure to not play favorites.
Deflect and Own.
Deflect praise to team members and the teams work. Own blame and error individually as the leader, then coach and correct our team. Throwing people under the bus never builds good culture.
Continue working hard to create amazing creative environments. When we do, we set up our teams to win, create the ability to bring in the best talent, and build cultures where we actually LIKE to do what we love with people we enjoy working with.
What would you add to the list?

All Ya Gotta Do Is...
When my daughter was a baby, maybe 18 months old, she and I were doing some grocery shopping in WalMart when the weeping and gnashing of teeth that had been going on since we entered became impossible to ignore any longer. We both looked over to see a woman pushing a cart with a kid in the basket, I'm guessing he was maybe 4 or 5, who was screaming, throwing things on the floor, kicking, yanking at his mother's hair, stomping on vegetables, tearing open bread wrappers, throwing jars of olives at passersby and through all this was attempting to bite his mother. There was milk and orange juice dripping out from around her purchase selections into a large, and growing larger, puddle under the buggy. Mom emitted a steady stream of, "Now, hunny, let's not do that. Hunny, let's...let's...oh, you shouldn't do ...just...just...just. Dylan, Mommy's getting tir...hunny, just...wait...just...just..."My 18 month-old looked at me and matter-of-factly said, "Spenkin'" with a glance in the kid's direction and a sage nod.
I very rarely resorted to "spenkins" to discipline her (and never before she was 18 months old), so I assume she gathered this was what the child needed from watching others discipline their children, and while I think her suggestion may have been worth a shot if Mom hadn't already tried it, it occurred to me that our tendency as humans to assume we understand the lives and needs of strangers better than they do after a very brief observation begins very early in life.
Now, sometimes there is some value in having an impartial opinion given from someone who isn't in the fray and not consumed with the details and the emotions of the situation...
But mostly when someone says, "All you gotta do is..." Anything that comes after it is utterly worthless, and worse, it's condescending.
For someone to believe that he can understand your child, your marriage, your body, your job, your home, your family, your life better after a cursory, mostly disinterested examination than you understand it after living with it 24/7 for your entire life is profoundly, astoundingly arrogant.
If you listen to nearly anyone with an a**hole, (oh, wait, that's an opinion), insomnia is an easy thing to fix. "All you gotta do is..." avoid caffeine after 4, exercise more, exercise less, eat more, eat less, gain weight, lose weight, take a sleeping pill, avoid sleeping pills, drink a little grapefruit juice before bed, don't watch tv in your bedroom, get up and move to a different bed if you aren't asleep after 15 minutes, get some counseling, stop worrying so much, the "solutions" are literally endless. The truth is, if you've ever even considered the idea that "It's simple, all you gotta do..." , then you have never experienced true, chronic insomnia and have nothing valuable to add to any discussion of it. Maybe you've missed a night or 3 of sleep or had an especially bad time in your life when you couldn't sleep well for a few months because of something stressful going on in your life, but you have no actual experience with chronic insomnia. Or maybe you have, but your body, your situation, your job, your marriage, your family is nothing like what the other person lives with. Do you really think somebody who hasn't slept an entire night in 40 years never thought of exercising a little or changing his diet? Or looking on the internet for some suggestions? Or reading a book about it?
And, oh my goodness, don't ever say you're "depressed" without expecting the parade of "suggestions."
You're too stupid to understand weight loss (or any other health issue) so let me explain it to you. "All you gotta do is..." Avoid ice cream, exercise more, eat less, don't exercise so much, eat more 'cuz yer in starvation mode, exercise differently, use my diet plan, read my dude's book, listen to me because I know your body better than you do because I've lived in my body, which is as unlike your body as it is possible to be and still be the same species, for a while now so clearly I understand how your body works better than you do. Besides, I read an article on yahoo a few years ago over lunch about it.
Also, I invented reading so obviously you never did any of that before I came along.
In fact, I am personally responsible for the entire concept of written language.
You're welcome.
You're raising your children wrong. "All you gotta do is..." Spank, don't spank, time out, don't time out, daycare, don't daycare, homeschool, don't homeschool, breast feed, don't breast feed, be in charge, don't squash your kids' expression, because even though I don't have any children (or the ones I had are drug-adled felons) and I've never seen you before in my life and my eyes have never so much as passed over your child, I understand your child better than you do.
I was married for about 48 and a half hours, so let me tell ya, you're doing it wrong. Tell that mother-in-law that blah blah blah. Tell him he can't treat you like that, you need to treat him better, never go to bed angry, "I'd NEVER put up with him bowling every week while I'm at home with the kids", if you were being a better wife he wouldn't even have to think about jacking off when you aren't home, he cheated on you with that woman so you just need to pack up and leave his ass, submit, be assertive, be more permissive, be less permissive, don't be so controlling, you gotta get that nipped in the bud.
And I have to wonder, how do we arrive at the idea that every other person in the world understands nothing about his own life and is just waiting around for our input?

SISSONVILLE, W.Va. — A slow start ultimately led to a bad finish for the Point Pleasant baseball team Friday night following a 6-5 setback to host Sissonville during the 2013 season opener in Kanawha County.
The visiting Big Blacks (0-1) trailed 4-0 through two innings of play before rallying to tie things back up through four-and-a-half frames, but the Indians (1-0) plated two unearned runs in the home half of the fifth to secure a 6-4 lead.
PPHS scored a run in the sixth to cut its deficit in half at 6-5, but the guests struck out in their final four at-bats — allowing SHS to wrap up the one-run outcome.
Each team scored three unearned runs and had seven hits in the contest, as well as four errors apiece. The Big Blacks left seven runners stranded on the base path, while Sissonville left only four on the bags.
The Indians' plated their first unearned run of the game in the first inning, as a two-out error and a Zach Null single allowed Josh Landis to score for a 1-0 contest.
SHS increased it lead to four in the second frame after an Eli Mooney single and a Houston Hill walk started the frame, then a one-out single by Ethan Lauchart plated Mooney for a 2-0 cushion. An error allowed Hill to score, and Fisher singled home Lauchart for a 4-0 edge after two complete.
Alex Somerville connected on a one-out triple to start the third, then later scored on a wild pitch for a 4-1 contest. Point followed with back-to-back singles from Somerville and Tylun Campbell to start the fifth, then Austen Toler grounded into a fielder's choice that forced Somerville out at third.
Evan Potter reached safely on an error that allowed Campbell to score for a 4-2 contest, then Levi Doolittle reached safely on a dropped third strike. An errant throw by the catcher allowed by Toler and Potter to score, knotting the game up at four.
Sissonville was down to its final out in the fifth when J.R. Sricklen came up with a single, then Landis reached safely on an error. Null came through with a single that plated Sricklen for a 5-4 lead, and an error on the relay allowed Landis to score for a 6-4 advantage through five complete.
With two outs in the top of the sixth, Somerville singled and later scored on a Campbell single — making it a 6-5 contest. The Big Blacks didn't manage a single baserunner from that point on.
Austin Burford was the winning pitcher of record after working two innings of middle relief for starter Ethan Lauchart. Burford allowed three hits, zero walks and three runs (zero earned) while striking out two. Null worked the final 2.2 innings of relief and struck out seven while picking up the save.
Austen Toler started for PPHS and came away with a no-decision after allowing four hits, one walk and four runs (three earned) over three innings. Levi Russell took the losing decision after allowing three hits, one walk and two runs (zero earned) over three frames.
Somerville and Campbell each had three hits to pace PPHS, while Levi Russell had the other safety. Campbell drove in the team's only RBI, while Somerville led the guests with two runs scored.
Null and Mooney led SHS with two hits each, followed by Sricklen, Lauchart and Jacob Fisher with a safety apiece. Null drove in a game-high two RBIs and Landis scored twice in the triumph.
