ASPCA Arrests Queens Woman for Neglecting, Starving Yorkie
Hershey, before receiving treatment at the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital
Today the ASPCA arrested Queens resident Grimilda Amil for allegedly neglecting and starving her three-year-old male Yorkshire terrier, who has been recovering under our care for nearly two months.
Amil brought her Yorkie, Hershey, to an ASPCA Mobile/Spay Neuter Clinic on June 27. Alarmed at Hershey's condition, Clinic staff called our Humane Law Enforcement Agents, who quickly responded.
Amil relinquished ownership of Hershey to the ASPCA, and Agents transported the tiny dog to Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital.
There, veterinarians determined Hershey— whom they found to be emaciated, anemic and suffering from pressure sores—had been starved. At that time, Hershey weighed just 5.2 pounds. Today he weighs in at 10.1 pounds, a 94% increase!
Hershey is completing his recovery in a caring ASPCA foster home. When he's ready, he'll be made available for adoption.
Amil, 55, was charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, she faces up to one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. She is due in Queens Criminal Court on October 4.
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please don't hesitate to report it.

and 2012-2013 Snow Season Recap
NJ State Climatologist
May 4, 2013
While many wondered if spring would ever arrive across the Garden State, the average April temperature was actually close to the long-term mean. At 51.5°, the month was 0.3° above average, ranking as the 35th mildest April since statewide records were established in 1895. Using the central NJ city of New Brunswick as an example, 16 days were above average, 12 below, and two spot on average.
Precipitation was below average, coming in at 2.72", which is 1.34" below normal and ranks as the 40th driest since 1895. Fortunately, rainfall was distributed across each week, thus despite the dry conditions in a month that is traditionally prone to forest and brush fires, not too many blazes erupted. The year to date has seen an average of 11.94" of rain and melted snow fall over NJ. This is 2.69" below average and ranks as the 28th driest start of the past 119 years. The 3-month total of 9.02" was the 30th driest and 2.13" below average. The past six months have been the 46th driest (19.14") and the past 12 months 69th driest (or 50th wettest; 46.18"). Thus reservoir levels are near average, while short-term streamflow and groundwater levels are somewhat below average.

Turkey is tops for easy, everyday meals
At this busy time of year, it's often difficult to get a meal on the table, especially if you're multitasking between other priorities around the home. Consider including turkey burgers in your dinner menus - it's a great way to add protein and create a delicious and convenient meal without having to be tied to your kitchen for hours.
Turkey isn't just for Thanksgiving anymore. It has grown from a traditional holiday staple into a year-round favorite. In addition, there are so many quick and easy-to-prepare turkey burger options at today's grocers, and creative recipes available to add flavor and style to your family meal.
Temperature is everything when it comes to preparing safe and delicious turkey burgers. Cooking turkey burgers to 165 F helps you achieve the most delicious flavor and the perfect, never-dry tenderness families love, while also being important for food safety. For this reason, a meat thermometer is a necessity. Quick and convenient, this essential cooking tool provides a simple way to prepare delicious cooked turkey.
Technology has made today's meat thermometers easier to use than ever. For example, Jennie-O, a recognized leader in turkey, has teamed up with iGrill, the first app enabled wireless meat thermometer, to help home cooks and grill masters prepare tender, delicious turkey while ensuring food safety from anywhere in the home.
Compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android devices, the app takes the guesswork out of cooking turkey by helping you monitor food temperature without being glued to your grill or oven. It has a wireless range of up to 200 feet, so you can tend to other important things around the house and spend time with your family as you cook.
The iGrill app is free and includes 25 delicious Jennie-O recipes for great-tasting everyday meals. It can be downloaded at the iTunes Store. The wireless meat thermometer is available for purchase at igrillinc.com. Use promo code JENNIEO for $10 off savings.
Five easy rules for cooking delicious turkey burgers
When it comes to cooking, food safety is just as important as great taste. Here are five easy kitchen tips for cooking a delicious meal featuring JENNIE-O turkey burgers: clean, separate, cook, chill, and don't forget—enjoy!-
(1) Clean
Safety begins with a clean cooking space. Use warm, soapy water to wash anything raw turkey touches, including cutting boards, plates or serving platters, countertops and other surfaces, food thermometers, grilling utensils and - most importantly - your hands.
It is not necessary to rinse poultry before cooking. In fact, rinsing poultry can spread bacteria rather than kill it.
(2) Cook
Always fully cook poultry to destroy any bacteria that could cause foodborne illness.
Using a meat thermometer is the most accurate way to determine when the meat is ready to enjoy. Cook poultry to at least 165 F, as measured by a meat thermometer, such as the iGrill, to ensure a safe and delicious dining experience.
Never eat under-cooked poultry. If you're not sure how long to cook a product, simply read the packaging and cook as specified.
(3) Separate
Use separate cutting boards for poultry, meat, seafood and vegetables to avoid the spread of bacteria that may cause food-borne illness. Store raw poultry in sealed containers to make sure juices don't contaminate other foods. Never reuse a raw marinade on cooked poultry. Instead, create a fresh marinade for each new batch.
(4) Chill
When storing raw poultry, set your refrigerator to 40 F or lower. Never thaw poultry at room temperature or on the counter. Thaw in the refrigerator in sealed containers and keep it no more than two to three days before cooking. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours of cooking and eat within one to two days.
(5) Enjoy
Following these simple food safety rules makes it easy to achieve the best possible taste for a delicious meal the entire family will enjoy.
For more information on cooking turkey burgers, visit Jennieo.com or look for the iGrill sticker on JENNIE-O lean ground turkey products at grocery stores nationwide. Use promo code JENNIEO for $10 off your iGrill purchase.

This basically says our site is listed as suspicious but doesn't tell us WHY - it basically says suspicious, but all tests were returned as "safe" so wtf?
Anyway, we're working on this. Sorry for the inconvenience. My guess is that someone reported the site as malware for no reason, and it got us listed. We're working to clear this up.

I just tried that, it seems to have worked. I had the same kind of problem on IE, which is not my preference for browsers, just a warning, though. My anxiety level went up. Hopefully it will now go back down. Again, thank you.

I tried to make Pandy's an 'Exception' to the 'Block reported attack sites' option that 1249 suggested but it's still not working. I'm a bit wary of turning off the feature all together, but I really wanted to come on here!! Guess I will turn it on when I visit other sites :)/>
Shannon, no need to apologise, we know it's not your fault...it's probably way more of a pain for you than it is for us! Good luck sorting it out.

I'm probably not fussed, I'll concentrate on one at a time. Might be others after one though. All the multiplayer thread I made has plummeted somewhat.
Anyway, I'm happy to go with forum PMs if everybody's on here reg'lar.
Just thought I'd check since soon I'm sure there will be bootlicking required. :D

(WJBK) -- Thanksgiving is most famously known for the turkey, but the side dishes can be just as mouthwatering as the main dish. Here's a family recipe that you can share with loved ones this holiday season.
Recipe: -peel, cut and boil approx 6-8 sweet potatoes [about 3 cups]-drain them and mash them
Add the following to your cooled potatoes: 1/2 cup sugar 2 eggs [if potatoes are too hot you'll cook the egg which you don't want to do!] 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/3 cup butterPut the potato combo in a 3 quart casserole!
Topping: 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup coconut [I leave this out because some don't like coconut] 1 cup chopped pecans 1/3 cup flour 1/3 cup soft butter
Blend this with a fork and put on top of potatoes and cook at 350 degrees uncovered for 30 minutes.

When I asked Mbwana Alliy last month why he founded the Savannah Fund in Nairobi, he had a simple answer—it is East Africa's technology hub. As part of PDE's look at Africa I began last week, we focus today on Kenya.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.
Last week, President Obama's FY 2014 budget was released—with a number of proposals that could affect entrepreneurs and small business owners. This week, that budget gets a closer look during a number of committee hearings. Other topics include: comprehensive immigration reform, entitlement reform proposals, tax fraud and identity theft, regulatory burdens on community banks, patent litigation, antitrust laws, health care reform.
There is a growing realization that entrepreneurs don't necessarily have to emerge from business schools—some emerge through other academic disciplines like engineering or music, some drop out of school to pursue their startups, and some avoid post-secondary education altogether. But that doesn't mean that entrepreneurs can't come from business schools. And if you ask business school students themselves, they would tell you that the Worcester Polytechnic Institute is at the top of the list.
When we last checked in on the performance of the venture capital industry, the dollars raised in 2012 continued to rise for a second-straight year even though the number of funds dropped. According to the latest numbers from Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), that trend continued in the first quarter of 2013.
With both houses returning to Washington this week from recess, there are a number of hearings scheduled of interest to those interested in the policies that promote entrepreneurship. President Obama's FY 2014 budget proposal gets a look in the Senate from the Budget and Finance committees. Other topics include: STEM education, the US position on internet governance, JOBS Act update, small business tax reform, regulatory reform and the state of communications in rural communities.
How friendly is your state to small business owners? Apparently very friendly, if you live in Utah or Texas—and not so friendly if you live in California. Utah took the top honors as the friendliest state to small business while Texas had three of the top five cities in the latest survey from Thumbtack.com and the Kauffman Foundation.
Ask an expert which university has the leading university-based technology innovation ecosystem in the world and you are likely to hear them say "MIT." A ranking of 120 universities that demonstrate a "decisive impact and significant contribution in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation" has pointed to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as the world leader.
The innovation performance in European Union countries is on the rise—cutting in half the gap between it and the United States. However, the internal gap between EU member nations is widening.

(LONDON) -- A new James Bond novel, featuring a slightly older 007, will be released in September, the estate of Ian Fleming has announced.
The BBC reports author William Boyd will write the story, which, according to Boyd, will be set in the 1960s and mark a return to "classic Bond."
Boyd is the third author in recent years to be invited to pen an official Bond book. He follows in the footsteps of Jeffery Deaver, who wrote Carte Blanche in 2011 and Sebastian Faulks, whose Devil May Care was released in 2008.
Boyd's previous work includes 1981's A Good Man in Africa and Restless, published in 2006.
The release of a new Bond book in 2013 coincides with the 60th anniversary of Fleming's Casino Royale, the first novel in the spy series.

Stage 1 burn bans continue in Snohomish and King Counties
January 21, 2013 · 10:18 AM
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is holding in place the Stage 1 burn bans for King and Snohomish counties.These bans are in effect until further notice.
"We encourage everyone who doesn't rely on wood heat to use instead their home's cleaner source of heat until weather conditions change," said Dr. Phil Swartzendruber, agency forecaster.
Clean Air Agency staff follow a protocol set by state law to determine when and where to issue a burn ban, and when to lift a burn ban.
Stage 1 burn ban:
No burning is allowed in fireplaces or uncertified wood stoves. Residents should rely instead on their home's other, cleaner source of heat (such as their furnace or electric baseboard heaters) for a few days until air quality improves, the public health risk diminishes and the ban is cancelled.
No outdoor fires are allowed. This includes recreational fires such as bonfires, campfires and the use of fire pits and chimineas.
Burn ban violations are subject to a $1,000 penalty.
It is OK to use natural gas, propane, pellet and EPA certified wood stoves or inserts during a Stage 1 burn ban.
The Washington State Department of Health recommends that people who are sensitive to air pollution limit time spent outdoors, especially when exercising. Air pollution can trigger asthma attacks, cause difficulty breathing, and make lung and heart problems worse. Air pollution is especially harmful to people with lung and heart problems, people with diabetes, children, and older adults (over age 65).
The purpose of a burn ban is to reduce the amount of pollution that is creating unhealthy air. Puget Sound Clean Air Agency staff will continue to monitor the situation.

Wacky Web Fun - Racing Frogs
Wacky Web Funare the brains behind the popular online game Racing Frogs. Racing Frogs was first launched in 2001, but really took off in 2004 when it was relaunched and featured as Steve Wright's, Website of the Day on BBC Radio 1. Currently, there are over 1,000,000 registered players across the three Racing Frog websites: Frog Pond, Stumpy Creek, and Windymore Lake.
Features of the Racing Frogs website
Almost the entire front end, the part players see, is Adobe Flash based. We built it this way to allow us to create a true game like experience and all of the character designs, animations, and illustrations were done in-house by Iogen. An important consideration during the developing of this website was creating a scalable solution that can cope with lots of similtanious visitors.
Additional Projects
We have also worked on additional projects for Wacky Web Fun. These projects include an interactive game called Beware the Spiders, that featured as a challenge on several episodes of the CiTV show Play the Game broadcast on ITV. Other projects we have worked on include a talking character called Boris the Frog, and a touch screen game based on the Racing Frogs concept.

God Did It (But I Don't Exactly Know How the World Was Created)
After we both exhaled some relieved laughter, I whispered, "I believe God created the world and holds it together. Just how he did that is up for debate, but whatever conclusions you come to about the earth's origins, God did it. Okay?"
A Survey of Clergy and Their Views on Origins
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Surprised by Jack, Part 4: Mere Evolution
In short, Lewis made it quite clear in his writings that he believed that there is no real conflict between mere evolution and mere Christianity.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 1
The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
Science and the Bible: The Framework View
Although the Framework View has existed for about ninety years, its attitude toward the Genesis "days" is similar to that held by Augustine. He taught that God created all things at once and told us about it in the pattern of six days, in order that we could understand it. The days themselves, however, were "unknowable" and not meant as a "literal" description of the passage of time.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
Southern Baptist Voices: Essentialism and Evolution, Part 1
If what has been called an essence (Plato referred to these as Forms, and Augustine as Ideas in the mind of God or eternal reason) explains natural kinds, it is easy to see how this would logically lead to the idea of fixity of species.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
America's View on Evolution and Creationism (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about science and faith in America. The graphic uses data from Gallup Research, The New York Times, and the Pew Research Center to show what Americans currently believe about the origins of humans.
Saturday Sermon: Gloriously Functional
Is Genesis 1 describing material creation or functional creation? Pastor Richard Dahlstrom of Bethany Community Church beautifully articulates the insights he has received through John Walton's book The Lost World of Genesis One and probes deep into the Biblical text with us.
Revealing God's Nature
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Evidences for Evolution, Part 2b: The Whales' Tale
If evolution is true, whales are related to the even-toed hoofed mammals, and there should be transitional fossil forms dating from about 45 to 50 million years ago.

Starting Friday, October 5 at 6 p.m. and running through Monday, October 8, O Fest RI, spearheaded by Doherty's East Avenue Irish Pub, celebrates autumn with beer, live music, and general merriment. The festival features fall-themed libations from as far away as Germany itself—with Oktoberfest brews from Spaten, Hofbrau, and Paulaner—and those from closer to home from brewers such as Harpoon, Sam Adams, and Shipyard. In addition, the festival will feature a lineup of musical acts, including What Matters and Those Guys.
Doherty's East Avenue Irish Pub, whose whopping 82 taps helped earn it an award for Best Bar and Beer Selection in The Phoenix's Best of Providence 2011, will anchor the celebration from their dark-wood bar. The bar itself serves a host of culinary treats from Prince Edward Island mussels in zesty zuppa sauce to blackened jerk salmon. An outdoor patio plays host to al fresco dining and lassoing the moon to impress dates.
At Lucky's Bar & Grill, the crunch from hand-cut french fries and hearty Irish-American pub fare competes with the cheers from sports games on 16 flat-screen TVs. Grilled pizzas brim with locally sourced tomatoes and exotic toppings such as roasted corn and grilled eggplant, and chefs stir macaroni into thick cheddar cheese sauce. On Friday and Saturday nights, live acoustic music echoes off the hardwood floors as bartenders top off pints of 30 varieties of draft beer at the 35-foot granite-top bar.
Visitors to Rhino Bar & Grille can wipe the words "bored" and "hungry" from their vocabularies. In addition to a menu of hearty, fun-to-eat food such as saucy wings, Black Angus burgers, and fish 'n' chips, the bar offers bottles of Heineken by the bucketful, keeping patrons hydrated enough to sing along with frequent live music from local bands. DJs also amp up the atmosphere, and a pool table ensures that there is always someplace for customers to lie down for a communal nap.
Thirty high-definition TVs airing sports games make Black Bear Saloon a destination for fans, who fuel up for fist pumps with a menu of American pub favorites. Beef, chicken, and salmon sliders, paired with crispy onion rings, are a pintsize alternative to burgers topped with a selection of gourmet ingredients such as roasted red peppers or avocado. Homemade marinara crowns flatbread pizzas and also serves as a sauce in which to slam-dunk deep-fried nuggets of mac 'n' cheese.
Hosted events are still another reason to visit: on Tuesday nights, the voices of karaoke singers wash over the bar's exposed-brick walls, and Wednesday trivia challenges guests to unearth factoids from their cerebral nooks and crannies. On the weekends, live DJs spin records as guests tap toes and shout requests for favorite Raffi songs from the pub's deep-brown booths.

Senior staff go as CQC makes major changes
Caring Times, June 2013
Major changes have been made in the upper echelons of the Care Quality Commission, with a number of senior people leaving the organisation.
Director of finance and corporate services John Lappin announced he had a new post last year but agreed to stay on to finalise CQC's budget for 2013/14 and deputy chief executive Jill Finney left CQC in February to take up a senior role in the private sector.
Louise Guss, director of governance and legal services, is to leave at the end of May, as is director of operations delivery Amanda Sherlock. Director of human resources Allison Beale will leave in September.
In a statement, CQC said the restructured senior management team would consist of the chief executive, chief inspectors, director of strategy, director of change and director of corporate services.

National support programme for registered care managers launched
Caring Times, May 2013
A national programme of support for registered managers has been launched by the National Skills Academy for Social Care. The programme aims to better-equip registered managers to meet the challenges they face, to reduce their isolation by networking them at local and national level, and enabling to recognise their leadership role.
Speaking at the programme's launch in March, care services minister Norman Lamb said the Department of Health recognised the valuable role registered managers play in delivering quality services.
"We have also heard the message that registered managers often feel isolated and need more support in their role," said Mr Lamb.
"We commissioned the Skills Academy to look at how registered managers can be better supported.The programme will make a real difference to registered managers, providing the practical help and support they need. I feel it is another step forward … Read More »
Funding fears and confusion over Dilnot
Caring Times, May 2013
National older people's charity Independent Age is concerned that council spending on social care will be cut still further as a consequence of a planned reduction in central government's funding allocation to local authorities. The charity also points to the confusion surrounding the Government's partial adoption of the Dilnot proposals to cap an individual's contribution to the cost of their own care.
"We are extremely worried to see a new further one percent reduction in local council budgets from 2014-15 announced in the Budget, on top of those previously confirmed," said Independent Age chief executive, Janet Morrison.
"This will inevitably mean cuts to essential social care services, which make up most councils' largest item of expenditure, and extra pressure on older people, their families and carers already struggling to access care and support.
"These further cuts threaten to overshadow the … Read More »
£1m fund will promote arts in care homes
Caring Times, May 2013
Arts Council England and the Baring Foundation have opened a £1m fund to help transform the lives of older people in residential care by providing them with quality arts experiences.
The Arts and older people in care grant, jointly funded by both organisations, will support older people in care homes to take part in arts activities, tailored towards their needs. Over the next three years, experiences supported by the fund will encourage older people to become actively involved in the arts, both as audience members and as participants.
Arts Council England chair Peter Bazalgette said the arts could make a real contribution to the lives of older people living in care homes.
"Recent studies have shown that taking part in arts activities gives older people the chance to express themselves creatively, encourages them to socialise more, and increases their enjoyment … Read More »
Report finds 80% of residents have dementia or other memory problems
Caring Times, April 2013
Eighty per cent of care home residents – more than ever thought before – have either dementia or severe memory problems according to an Alzheimer's Society report published in February.
However, while excellent care exists, the report – Low Expectations – says less than half of these 322,000 people are enjoying a good quality of life. Low Expectations finds evidence of a deep-seated pessimism about life in care homes. Only 41% of relatives surveyed by the Alzheimer's Society reported that their loved ones enjoyed good quality of life.
Despite this, three quarters (74%) of relatives would recommend their family member's care home.
The report also points to a severe image crisis facing the care sector. According to a YouGov public poll commissioned by the charity, 70% of UK adults say they would be fairly or very scared of going into … Read More »
Independent survey finds high levels of resident satisfaction
Caring Times, April 2013
An independent 'opt-in' survey of residents in care homes operated by small group providers has shown that nearly half (45.6%) say the quality of service they received in the last six months was improving and 95.3% of residents are likely to recommend their care home to a friend.
Conducted by healthcare research specialists Howard Warwick Associates (HWA) as part of the nationwide 'Care to Talk' survey of care home residents, the survey polled more than a thousand residents from 43 independent care home groups during November and December 2012. Each home had a minimum of 15 residents and there were no more than five homes in any group.
"All too often we are confronted with negative images of care homes but our survey results clearly demonstrate that standards have improved and residents are enjoying a good quality of life," said … Read More »
RNHA: Francis Report highlights link between funding and quality of care
Caring Times, April 2013
The need to slash spending on frontline patient services appears to have been one of the key factors behind the fall in vital care standards at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, it was claimed following publication of the Francis report on the underlying causes of the corporate and individual failings that led to so many unnecessary deaths.
The Registered Nursing Home Association (RNHA) said the financial pressures on the Mid Staffordshire Trust had been considerable as it prepared for foundation status. RNHA chief executive Frank Ursell said there was a direct link between the amount of money available for frontline services at any moment in time, the level of demand for those services, and the standards of care being provided.
"In the light of the Francis report, we in the long-term care sector are concerned on two fronts," said … Read More »
Call for CQC to bring back quality ratings
Caring Times, March 2013
Reintroducing ratings to regulated care services would benefit the public as well as health and social care providers and commissioners, is the major finding of a joint discussion paper issued in January by the Voluntary Organisations Disability Group (VODG) and the National Care Forum (NCF).
The report, Information is power: why ratings of care services need to return, outlines inadequacies in how people choose and analyse care, and urges a way forward. It argues that, in an increasingly complex care quality environment, a plethora of different policy initiatives and agencies, are developing their own approaches to information about quality, making the task of choosing care services very challenging.
Social care regulator, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), scrapped the old 'star ratings', also known as quality ratings, in 2010. Since then, says the report, the numerous options open to the … Read More »
Ombudsman criticises top-up charges
Caring Times, March 2013
By PETER GROSE, & ABIGAIL CROSS Lester Aldridge Solicitors LLP Tel: 01202 786161
Councils have been urged to review fee levels following recent criticism by the Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) who found that Southampton City Council had been wrongly charging top-up fees for residential care.
Following a stroke, the family of an elderly woman were advised to find a nursing home placement for her in order to enable her discharge from hospital. They were unable to find a care home at Southampton City Council's 'usual rate' which was able to meet the woman's assessed needs.
The family therefore chose a home with higher rates, which led to the Council charging top-up fees of £187.57 per week.
In her report, the LGO stated that the Council should have paid to accommodate the woman elsewhere and should not have sought additional fees beyond … Read More »
'Your Care Rating' survey delivers positive results
Caring Times, March 2013
In the absence of a quality yardstick since the Care Quality Commission abandoned its quality star ratings system in 2010, an independent survey organised by care providers shows that older people across the UK rate highly the care homes they are living in.
Ipsos MORI has published the report for the 2012 Your Care Rating Survey. The report sets out the development of Your Care Rating and the results from the trial survey, conducted in Autumn 2012. These results show that residents' opinions of most care homes are positive.
Baroness Sally Greengross, co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Ageing and Older People, welcomed the report, saying that giving a clear picture of the care provided in care homes had never been more important.
"Your Care Rating intends to make sure that residents themselves have a strong voice in evaluating … Read More »

New 911 System Hopes To Increase Efficiency, Decrease Redundancy
By: Homa Bash
Updated: July 9, 2012
Eight months in the making, the Emergency Medical Dispatch System, or EMD, means rigorous training for dispatchers, fewer frivolous calls for firemen and changes the way the entire system functions.
While most of the work was done behind-the-scenes, the effects of the overhaul are far-reaching.
"I think citizens will see a big improvement in efficiency," said Abilene Fire Chief Ken Dozier.
"I always joked that we always sent the cavalry," Dozier said. "For 27 years, we sent a fire truck and ambulance to every single call."
With the new system in place, that old standby has changed.
Dispatchers will ask residents more questions when they call, and they are now trained to give step-by-step instructions on how to deal with the emergency until help arrives.
"The algorithm that they'll follow, and the questions they ask, will allow them to determine what resources are needed," Dozier said.
While asking more specified questions, dispatchers will simultaneously send out emergency services tailored to the situation.
Lee Fuqua has been a dispatcher for more than 28 years, starting off taking calls with pen and paper, and said the beauty of the new system is in its simplicity.
"It'll mean a better and quicker response from the fire department and ambulance," Fuqua said. "Also, from our end, we're not having to dispatch the fire department and ambulance to every single call there is."
That means no more lights and sirens for nosebleeds, stubbed toes and minor cuts, which fire officials said they receive more often than not.
And the biggest change callers will likely notice is the way dispatchers answer the phone.
Instead of the usual "911, what's your emergency?" -- dispatchers will ask, "911, what is the address of your emergency?"
"It gets them away from starting a long story and getting excited," Fuqua said. "This gives them something to focus on immediately."
Subtle changes that officials hope will make a big difference.

Once the Sword of Light has been retrieved, the wielder must [Show/Hide] --SPOILERS-- then fight the most evil and strongest demon of all, the Dark Overlord, who will challenge his worthiness to wield the Sword of Light. After the Dark Overlord has been defeated, peace will reign again for another 25 yrs. The only person willing to do this, however, is a brave old 40-yr old man named Thydor.

June 22 with Eastern's first team State Championship. The celebration had continued since the 1- 0, 12 inning marathon victory over Tecumseh at Hamilton Southeastern's softbal I complex in the final game of the state softball tournament. Wearingthe State Champion medals and celebrating with the Greentown fans was a fantastic way to wrap up the 2003 season. Although everyone was tired from tlie long day, nobody really wanted to go home. It was an exciting experience for a great team of outstanding players with the following seniors completing their Eastern softball careers: Kasee S pang I e r, E i ken berry , Stephanie Maish, Ashleigh Maher and Brooke Harden. The Lady Comets followed up on a regular season of 24 wins, 4 losses, and an MIC conference championship by winning a second season of 7 straight victories, thus making them the State Champions. This included a tough Sectional at Greentown with wins over Taylor 3- 0, Wabash 11- 1 and Northfield 2- 1. Kasee Spangler Van e s sa led the way in the sectional wins with key 6th inning hits in both the Taylor and Northfield games. This included her first career home run against Northfield in the final game. The following weekend brought the tough Shenandoah and Clinton Prairie teams to Greentown for tlie Regional. Eastern pitchers Spangler and Howell threw a 2 hit shut out for a 2- 0 win against Shenandoah. The Regional championship game was against the Clinton Prairie Lady Gophers who defeated Eastern in 2002 and were the defending State Champions with all their players returning. Again, great pitching and defense kept the Gophers shut down and tlie Lady Comets once again got a run from a Jenny Johnson single, a Cayleigh Harvey sacrifice bunt and a Breanna Howell single in the 3rd inning. Clinton Prairie rallied in the 6th inning with a single and a double, but the defense and Howell shut down their last effort for an Eastern Regional Championship. The following Friday, the Lady Comet team bus and fan caravan, escorted part way by the Greentown volunteer fire department, traveled to Hamilton Southeastern only to be met in the parking lot by an official with bad news- postponed by rain until Saturday. That resulted in another night of anxious waiting and another caravan Saturday morning, only to run into another rain delay of our first game with Whiting from 1 : 00 until 3: 00 PM. Thanks to the Brad and Tammy Howell motor home we had somewhere to " relax" until the game. The game with Whiting finally began after all the delays, Whiting threatened to score with ? hits in the first inning, but we escaped with a strong pitching sljut down by Spangler. Breaniia Howell then came to bat in the 3rd inning after singles by Jenny Johnson and Cayleigh Harvey. Breanna fouled off 5- 6 pitches after getting a 2 strike count then hit a 2 out homerun to Peter Heck in the left field bleachers for a 3- 0 lead. That was enough scoring as Howell did not allow another base runner for Whiting the rest of the game. Next was the cli, ampionship game against a very good Tecumseh team from near Evansville and another outstanding pitcher, Jackie Miller. The Lady Comets had only ninety minutes rest due to the late start of their first game. The game was a classic of tough pitching and defense by both teams resulting in a scoreless tie after 1 1 innings. The Lady Comets had tried everything to score including having both Cayleigh Harvey and continued on page 4 Greentown Elections to be November 4 Filing Deadline August 1 Voters of Greentown may have an opportunity to elect five council members and a clerk- treasurer on November 4.
