Sarah Crane enhances the reach and influence of USA.gov through a variety of techniques and tools, because there is no 'one single silver bullet.' (FCW photo)
Sarah Crane is director of USA.gov, which is the government's official Web portal and aims to provide "government information and services when and where you want them." It had more than 50 million visits in fiscal 2012 and has a rare Google PageRank of 10. And just last month, Crane and her team launched a responsive design feature that adjusts the page display based on the device being used, thereby enhancing the mobile experience.
"That's a great example of her leadership in keeping our website up-to-date and innovative in nature," said David McClure, associate administrator of the General Services Administration's Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies.
Bev Godwin, director of the Federal Citizen Information Center at GSA and former director of USA.gov, said Crane was the clear choice to succeed her as director. Godwin, who hired Crane 12 years ago, hailed her leadership and fair-minded management style.
A look at little-known agency experts who are pushing critical broad-based initiatives, plus other leaders whose influence bears watching.
"She has really transformed the USA.gov brand," Godwin said. "It's not just a website, it's a brand for...citizens to get trusted information from the government."
McClure agreed. "She's one of these people…[whose] behind-the-scenes work makes a big difference in what the public is seeing and getting from the government."
That public reach, Crane noted, is even broader than the traffic statistics would suggest: The Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post and Yahoo have syndicated content from the site. "That's because we have people writing content about issues that matter to the people and adding a really unique value because it's coming from the government," she said.
"There's not one single silver bullet," Crane added. "Social media certainly helps because you have the power of multipliers and people sharing your messages with their friends and their communities. But another big contributor to the reach of USA.gov is the quality of our brand."

Actress Johansson sues over French bookAssociated Press
PARIS— Actress Scarlett Johansson is suing a French publishing house over a novel that uses her name and image and explores the challenges of being beautiful.
The JC Lattes publishing house said Friday that a lawsuit was filed last week about Gregoire Delacourt's book "The First Thing We Look At."
JC Lattes spokeswoman Emmanuelle Allibert says the publisher's lawyers are preparing to respond to the court, which will then decide whether to take up the case.
Allibert says the book is entirely fiction and is about a character who looks just like Johansson, not Johansson herself. That character is enmeshed in a romance with another lookalike — one modeled after film star Ryan Gosling.
Johansson's French lawyer Vincent Toledano said in a statement to The Associated Press that Johansson is protesting the use of her name and image for "mercantile" purposes, and accuses the book of invading her privacy.
"The freedom of speech she defends as an artist is not being challenged in the lawsuit. However the right of free speech has nothing to do with this purely mercantile conduct," the lawyer said.
The publisher argues that the lawsuit "is contrary" to the idea of the book. The author "only says good things about" Johansson, Allibert said.
Delacourt has had bestsellers, though some critics have skewered "The First Thing We Look At." Le Monde's reviewer said that Delacourt, who works in advertising, "sells us his story like he would sell us shower gel: fake emotions, blurred eroticism, venal humor." Magazine Les Inrocks called it "low-cost literature."

Fletcher Allen, a Vermont university hospital and medical center, serves all of
Vermont and the northern New York region. Located in Burlington, Fletcher Allen is a regional, academic healthcare center and teaching hospital in alliance with the University of Vermont.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a treatment for patients who suffer from chronic pain due to tendon injuries or osteoarthritis. The goal of PRP is to use platelets from your own blood to rebuild damaged tendons or cartilage. PRP offers pain relief and even speeds the healing process. Fletcher Allen Health Care is the only academic medical center in Vermont to offer PRP treatment.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy in Burlington, VT
Athletes and other active individuals turn to the sports medicine specialists at Fletcher Allen for expert, personalized care for joint and muscle problems. We are one of the only centers in the region to offer PRP, a nonsurgical procedure to treat chronic joint-pain. Features of our care include:
Experience and Expertise
Our team includes board-certified orthopedists and sports medicine physicians. In addition, we have skilled phlebotomists (medical professionals who specialize in collecting blood samples). We work together to ensure your PRP procedure is smooth, safe and effective.
Personalized Care
Before your procedure, we meet with you for an evaluation. During your appointment, we discuss your symptoms and previous treatments. We confirm your diagnosis so we can make sure this treatment will give you optimal results.
On-Site Rehab Services
We provide everything you need right here at our facility. After your procedure, Fletcher Allen physical therapy and rehabilitation teams will help you regain your strength and function.
Follow-up Care
Your care doesn't end when the procedure is over. After your PRP treatment, we monitor you closely during the next few months. Together, we determine if the treatment was effective or if you need a second procedure.
PRP: Am I a Candidate?
You may be wondering if you are a candidate for PRP therapy. When you come to meet with our team for an evaluation, we can determine if PRP therapy is right for you.
You may be a candidate for PRP if:
- You have a type of tendinopathy, which are degenerative changes or small tears in the tendons, the tough fibers connecting muscle to bone. Repetitive activities can often cause tendinopathy:
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylosis), degenerative changes in the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the elbow.
- Medial elbow (medial epicondylosis), degenerative changes to tendons on the inside of the elbow.
- Jumper's knee (patellar tendinosis), an injury that affects the tendon connecting your kneecap to your shinbone. It is common in athletes who participate in jumping sports, like basketball.
- Achilles tendinosis, degenerative changes of the Achilles tendon (the largest tendon in the body), which connects the calf muscle to the heel bone.
- Gluteus medius tendinosis, degenerative changes of the tendons in the gluteus medius. This is one of the three large muscles connecting your gluteal (buttock) muscles to your hipbone.
- Rotator cuff tendinosis, degenerative change to a group of shoulder tendons.
- Your problem is chronic. PRP is not an emergency treatment for sudden pain. Candidates for PRP usually have had ongoing, chronic pain for at least three months.
- You've tried other treatments without success. If you are experiencing joint pain, you should try other treatment options for at least three months. These include physical therapy, hand therapy, forearm straps and bracing.
- You haven't had a recent cortisone injection. If you were using cortisone injections as a treatment, your last one must be at least three months before your PRP procedure.
PRP: What to Expect
Generally, you undergo a single PRP procedure. After three months, we evaluate you to decide whether you need a second procedure. If there has been no significant response or improvement after the first treatment, you may need to undergo PRP again.
Here's what to expect during the procedure:
- Our experienced phlebotomists draw your blood
- We place the blood in a centrifuge, a specialized machine that separates parts of the blood.
- The centrifuge separates the platelets.
- We then inject the platelet-rich plasma into the damaged part of your tendon or cartilage. We use ultrasound technology to guide the injection to the precise location.
- You follow a rehabilitation program, usually involving a period of rest and physical therapy.
- After three months, we evaluate you to determine if the procedure worked or if you need another treatment.
Recovery and Rehabilitation after PRP
Fletcher Allen offers on-site physical therapy and hand therapy. Talk to your physician about scheduling your rehabilitative care with our expert team. Our physicians and therapists work closely with you to create a rehab plan that fits your needs. Learn more about outpatient therapy at Fletcher Allen.

All the old emails will take some time to restore from backups - they will show up....No ETA on all the old emails restoring.
Yes, have tested sends to both Verizon and non-Verizon accounts. Both are working. Mail delivery continues OK, but no email traffic yet recovered from about 8:30am to 2:45pm.
I have 4 email accounts here, 2 work, 2 do not. When is Verizon going to dump this POS email system they are using and get something that works correctly. If its not the system loosing half the accounts for 12+ hours with no resolution in sight (sorry nycdave, your 1 hour is long past) its the email system being slow as molasses for weeks on end with no resolution.
I'm at home now, and Thunderbird works fine, but I only received about 1/5th of the email I usually do after being "logged out" for so many hours.I just sent myself a test message from another account, and it showed up in 3~4 minutes.I'd ask the IT guys at work if they made any changes, but seeing as so many others got the same error message I did, I'm saying it's a Verizon problem.--One man's Magic is another man's Engineering.
Verizon just sent out a notice about the outage today.»www22.verizon.com/Support/Reside···Z_N_Z123--One man's Magic is another man's Engineering.

Good blend, but green tea makes me agitated
12 people found the following review helpful
Posted by DerekABarrett on Oct 29, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
This is a great blend and the taste is fine, and I got a good energy burst from it, but green tea extract always makes me really agitated. It's not the product's fault, I should have known better. I get agitated with any green tea extract product, but the actual tea does not have the same effect on me. Once I stopped the powder I didn't feel as cranky. But like i said it's not the products fault, just something I react to, so wanted to write the review in case others have this same sensitivity.
It is Great

It tastes like green tea, so if you like green tea you will enjoy this one. There is no sugar in this blend, which is great because many green formulas have sugar in them. It is a great way to get your greens.
Very good!!!!!!!

I was diagnosed with CFS 6 years ago and have found nothing that really helps me with my low energy level except prescription drugs, which I don't want to take. I've tried so many things, that the Midori Greens were a shot in the dark. I must say that after nearly a month of taking them daily I actually have more energy!! It took almost 2 weeks for any noticeable difference, so don't quit if you're not getting instant results. It's very nice tasting when mixed with a little of your favorite juice. I will definitely reorder.
Try It!

I am using all the products from Madre Labs and it has made me feel better then I have in years! It's nearly eliminated inflammation I've been dealing with for over 8 years. This company seems to have done their research and come out with quality products. I recommend it to all my friends and family.

Vertical Gardening
In urban areas, finding sufficient green space to have a garden, particularly for a space like a restaurant, is incredibly difficult. Green roofs and roof gardens are one fix to that problem, as is vertical gardening. There are large edible vertical gardens throughout the country, such as at Atlanta's Botanical Garden. The Botanical Garden's vertical farm is notable not only for its scale, but also because it is growing produce on those walls as part of its efforts to raise awareness of the farm-to-table movement.
Tournesol Siteworks' profile of the Atlanta garden led me to their main website, which features all of the technologies required for a green roof, roof garden, or even vertical/wall garden.

Information & Credits
By Jay Tierney...
What sets Steven Soderbergh apart from so many other directors is that he never fails to reinvent himself. He may be on a cinematic hot streak that most people only dream about, but from Sex, Lies & Videotape to Out of Sight or Erin Brockovich, nothing he does ever looks or feels the same.
With Traffic, Soderbergh's most ambitious film to date, he takes an all-star cast that you'd expect to see in a glossy Hollywood picture, and places them in a world of raw, documentary-like footage. The result is an insightful and fascinating look at the drug war, which also happens to be an entertaining crime masterpiece.
Based on the 1989 British mini-series, Traffik, this film follows four closely-linked stories and eventually shows us how, under the current system, the drug war is utterly useless. In what is perhaps the most interesting angle of the story, a straight-laced Tijuana police officer (Benicio Del Toro) moves up in the ranks when he becomes associated with General Salazar -- a man who desperately wants to break up a local drug cartel. Meanwhile, in Cincinnati, a judge (Michael Douglas) is appointed as the new Drug Czar for the United States, which is somewhat ironic considering his daughter (Erika Christensen) is an addict hooked on cocaine and heroine. Also, in San Diego, two DEA agents (Don Cheadle, Luis Guzmán) are cracking down on local distributors, which leads to the arrest of a big-time smuggler whose pregnant wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) must survive while he's behind bars.
The first indication that Traffic is a great film is the sense that each of these stories is good enough to warrant a movie of its own. The characters are all compelling and fun to watch and Soderbergh's use of tinting to differentiate between the numerous storylines is quite effective. Obviously much of the praise should be attributed to Stephen Gaghan's beautifully woven screenplay, but the decision to shoot it like a documentary with handheld cameras transcends a feeling of truth and realism that would've been lost otherwise.
What's best is Traffic never bothers to preach, instead opting to explain the facts and then let them do the talking. It shows us how drugs have been wired into our society the same way large corporations have, and the idea of completely removing a widespread industry is laughable, especially with a product that so many people are after. Everyone can draw their own conclusions, of course, as the film remains morally ambiguous, but the overall feeling most people will get is that the current war on drugs is a war that can't be won. Billions on top of billions are spent every year, yet the drugs still get across the border, and the only real type of prevention is through treatment in order to reduce demand. Furthermore, the strict laws that are in place simply provide a motivation for profit and make it much easier to acquire product.
While there are clearly no lead actors, the moral center of the film is Javier Rodriguez -- Benicio Del Toro's excellent portrayal of a conflicted Mexican cop. In a subtle and touching performance that people will remember for quite some time, Del Toro deals with choosing sides, well aware that he's being used either way. As for the rest of the cast, Jacob Vargas is solid as a fellow police officer, and Michael Douglas is good as the Czar who must deal with hypocrisy on a personal level. Even better is Erika Christensen as his 16-year-old daughter, in one of the best performances of an addict I've ever seen. Don Cheadle and Luis Guzman are a great team to watch (thanks mostly to their hilarious, improvised dialogue), and Catherine Zeta-Jones reveals her acting chops in a chilling role that transforms her from sweet and innocent to cold-blooded and ruthless.
Some people may be disappointed that Traffic doesn't really move them on an emotional level, but for the film to blatantly do so would be a betrayal to its even-handedness and might even make it less powerful. Traffic is a brilliant work of art that depicts all sides of a controversial issue, and then allows logic to draw the conclusions rather than manipulate its audience. After an inside look at what is really just a business, ultimately we come to realize that the war itself does far more damage than the actual drugs.

3. I don't know much about being a millionaire, but I'll bet I'd be darling at it.

DURHAM – Yesterday, after it spent 60 days looking at a cleverly designed scheme to resegregate voters in North Carolina, the U.S. Department of Justice informed us that the U.S. Attorney General did not "interpose any objection" to the scheme. The next sentence in the letter said, "However, we note that Section 5 expressly provides that the failure of the Attorney General to object [to a redistricting scheme] does not bar subsequent litigation (our emphasis) to enjoin the enforcement of the changes."
That's exactly what we shall do this Friday morning at 10:00 a.m. in Wake County Superior Court. We are honored to be co-plaintiffs with the League of Women Voters, the A. Philip Randolph Institute, and Democracy, NC — organizations that have had their hands on the Plow of Democracy for a long time — as we file a lawsuit asking our North Carolina courts to stop this cleverly disguised race-based scheme.
We shall sue the leaders of the NC House and Senate, Thom Tillis and Phil Berger. They paid good taxpayer money to outside consultants to develop a scheme to resegregate minority voters and dilute our voting power.
These consultants know that blatant Jim Crow acts are illegal, so they came up with their James Crow schemes instead. Jim Crow used blunt tools. James Crow uses surgical tools to cut out the heart of black political power. James Crow uses high-tech, clever consultants to pick apart black communities block by block and increase the prosperity of a few Americans by trying to divide, segregate, and fool the rest of us.
We also name the State of North Carolina and the State Board of Elections as defendants in our lawsuit, since they are charged with carrying out this race-based plan.
We welcome the media to join us at the Wake County Courthouse at 10:00 a.m., Friday morning, November 4, 2011, where our attorneys from Southern Coalition for Social Justice will distribute copies of our filed complaint. A news conference will follow.

NC NAACP Statement Regarding Charter Schools and Vouchers
For More Information: Rev. Dr. William, J. Barber, II, 919-394-8137
Atty. Al McSurely, 919-389-2905
The North Carolina NAACP opposes using tax money for private academies; whether you call them vouchers or "tax credits," they take public money and pay people to abandon public schools. We are also against lifting the cap on the number of charter schools here. While some charter schools perform well for some students, they are not a universal solution for building strong school systems for all our students. Studies show that, on the whole, charter schools do not out-perform traditional public schools. They can also weaken school systems by "skimming off" middle-class students and ignoring the strength that comes through our diversity. People have a right to send their children to private academies but the taxpayers are under no obligation to pay for it, especially when it undermines public education.
Using tax money for private academies is not a new idea. In fact, people who support segregated schools have advocated tax-funded private academies since 1954 when the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with the NAACP in the historic Brown v Board of Education case, and declared: "Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."
Three months later, Gov. William Umstead set up a committee chaired by Thomas Pearsall, former N.C. House Speaker, whose mission was to circumvent the Brown decision. Gov. Umstead died suddenly, but his successor, Gov. Luther Hodges, created a smaller, all-white Pearsall Committee, which drafted plans disturbingly similar to those recently proposed by N.C. House Republicans. The 1955 Pearsall Plan offered "tuition grants" [vouchers] to fund private academies with public money for white parents whose children might be assigned to desegregated schools. The Pearsall scheme also empowered local school boards to bar African-American children from white schools by imposing endless bureaucratic hurdles for black parents.
Several white and black leaders and ministers challenged the legality and morality of the Pearsall Plan, but in 1956 the General Assembly adopted these segregationist schemes. A state-wide referendum supported the segregationists by a margin of five to one, a margin expanded by voter suppression efforts in black majority sections of the state.
North Carolina conservative leaders continued to urge evasion of desegregation by using tax dollars to send children to all-white private academies. I. Beverly Lake, Sr., segregationist firebrand and father of Republican gubernatorial candidate I. Beverly Lake, Jr., urged that the state subsidize segregated private schools. Jesse Helms wrote an editorial, "There is Another Way," urging that North Carolina abandon public education and pay private academy tuition so parents could send their children to all-white schools, eventually privatizing the public schools entirely.
North Carolina never had to pay private school tuition because the Pearsall scheme helped the state successfully evade compliance with Brown for 17 years. The courts ruled the Pearsall Plan unconstitutional in 1969, but it was not until the early 1970's that the NAACP's persistent legal and political efforts began to allow children of every race to attend the same schools, at least in our larger cities and towns. From a historical standpoint, our efforts to heal the scars of slavery and segregation have only just begun.
Sadly, the forces of division are now attempting to serve this sour, old wine in new bottles. Republican majority leader Paul Stam's proposal, like the Pearsall Plan before it, seeks to divert public money to private academies, paying parents to withdraw their support from the public schools. Stam, whose "dream," he admits, is to do away with traditional public schools, currently proposes to use tax dollars for private academies. Republicans in the legislature also propose to repeal the laws against racial segregation in private schools and charter schools. School board members pushing "neighborhood schools" in Wilmington created 95 percent re-segregated schools, after which they petitioned their Republican legislators to "work to overturn" the measures in the Disadvantaged Students Supplemental Funding (DSSF) Law that allows the State Board of Education to withhold DSSF money from administrative units that practice "segregation of schools on the basis of race or socioeconomic status." North Carolina should reject all of these variations on the theme of funding private academies with public money or turning public schools into private academies, in effect, where the price of admission is the ability to pay a whopping mortgage, under the guise of "neighborhood schools."
Let us focus instead on helping all our public schools meet the higher expectations we have for all children. We should promote: diversity in all our classrooms; equal funding for all our schools; high-quality teachers; smaller classes; first-rate facilities for every child; school leadership teams for under-performing schools; a renewed focus on math, science, reading, and history; greater parental and community support; a laser-like focus on disparities in dropout, suspension, and graduation rates; early childhood funding for poor children.
We should also press for complete funding under the Leandro v. State of North Carolina (1997) mandate that the North Carolina Constitution guarantees "every child of this state an opportunity to receive a sound, basic education in our public schools," regardless of whether that child grows up in an affluent suburb or a rural crossroads; and that each child has a constitutional right to an education that gives them the reading, writing, speaking, mathematical, and scientific skills and knowledge to "enable the student to compete on an equal basis with others in future formal education or gainful employment in contemporary society." Many of our re-segregated schools, especially in impoverished rural areas, do not meet that constitutional requirement; in fact, Republican Judge Manning has called the educational system in many of our poor counties "educational genocide."
In light of all that remains to be done, we categorically reject any privatization schemes for our public schools while we advocate a state-wide campaign for diverse, high quality, constitutional schools for all our precious children.

thank you for the love!
I started with the anime a few years back, and from there I actually speed-read the entire manga up to the last chapter published. Personally I would recommend reading all of it! I enjoyed watching the art change throughout.
But if you wanna save time so you can get caught up, I suggest starting at chapter 157. I think that's correct— it's been a long time since I watched the anime or read the manga (need to catch myself up too), but I went through the chapters and I believe that's where the anime left off.
If I'm wrong, I invite anyone to help me out with it!
I'm sorry! Making an effort to appear was more difficult than anticipated. I was quite busy with preparations for my trip to New York last month, but honestly it really shouldn't be hard to update either way so— my excuses fall through in the end.
BOTTOM LINE: I'm going to set up a queue more often!!!

Workers' Compensation_disability_causation_evidence sufficient
There was sufficient evidence of causation to justify an award of temporary total
disability where plaintiff suffered two neck injuries at home and then one at work within a short
span of time, but the first two left her with a stiff neck and did not interfere with her ability to
work while the last, at work, resulted in pain said to be indescribable and a trip to the emergency
room with fears of a heart attack, symptoms consistent with ruptured discs.
Charles Peed and Associates, PA, by Charles O. Peed, for
Tuggle, Duggins & Meschan, P.A., by Jospeh F. Brotherton and Steven P. Weaver, for defendant-appellant.
BRYANT, Judge.
Epes Transportation (Epes) and its servicing agent Kemper Risk
Management (collectively defendants) appeal an opinion and award
filed 27 January 2003 by the North Carolina Industrial Commission
(the Commission) awarding temporary total disability compensation
to Sandy R. Towns (plaintiff).
At the hearing before the Commission, plaintiff testified she had worked for Epes as a local truck driver since April 1998. Her job involved driving eighteen-wheelers back and forth between Greensboro and Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Upon arrival at her destination, plaintiff's duties included rolling down the truck's landing gear. This manoeuver required plaintiff to positionherself between the truck and the trailer to disconnect the air lines, the fifth-wheel pin, and the pigtail. In order to disconnect the fifth-wheel pin, plaintiff had to use both hands and . . . pull really hard to get it to pull out and lock. The mechanism for the fifth-wheel pin varied per truck, and the level of difficulty in getting the pin to release increased if the trailer was not level.
On 24 August 1998, plaintiff injured herself at home while trying to avoid stepping on her dog. Plaintiff saw a doctor the next day, who diagnosed her with a pulled rotary cuff in her right arm and prescribed a muscle relaxant for the tightness in her neck. On 1 September 1998, plaintiff again injured herself at home when her bed collapsed while she was lying on it. Although plaintiff's neck felt stiff the next morning, it was no worse than after her previous injury. Plaintiff went to work as usual and did not require a doctor.
At work on 2 September 1998, after dropping her fourth trailer of the day, plaintiff was trying to get the fifth-wheel pin to release. She was on her third pull, giving it everything [she] had, when she suddenly thought someone had stabbed [her] in the neck. She felt an indescribable pain. Her arms went numb, and her knees were in extreme pain. Plaintiff notified her dispatcher that she had injured herself while trying to drop a trailer and needed to see a doctor. She then telephoned her fiancé, who took her to the doctor. Within days of the incident at work, plaintiff was diagnosed with two ruptured discs in her neck, requiring two surgeries. From 24 August 1998 untilplaintiff sustained her work injuries on 2 September 1998, plaintiff had been able to perform her job duties. Following the incident at work on September 2, plaintiff could no longer work.
When plaintiff initially sought medical help after the 2 September 1998 incident, she explained everything that [she] had went [sic] through, ranging back to her August 24 accident. Plaintiff told the physician's assistant who initially examined her that she thought her injury stemmed from her attempt to release the fifth-wheel pin and described the pain she had felt at that time. The physician's assistant, however, led [her] to believe that it was the bed falling that had caused her injury. (See footnote 1) Plaintiff was later referred to Dr. Louis Pikula, Jr., a neurosurgeon, who performed the first surgery on plaintiff's neck. At the time of plaintiff's second operation, Dr. Pikula had retired and plaintiff was in treatment with Dr. William R. Brown, Jr. On 13 September 2000, Dr. Brown wrote a To Whom It May Concern letter with regard to plaintiff's injury, stating:
This patient has been under my care for some time. She returns today with clarification of the onset of her illness. The patient states that on 09/01/98 while at home, she had a bed fall on her neck. This produced the immediate onset of neck pain. The next day, she was able to go to work; however, when she was pulling a fifth-wheel pin, she had the sudden onset of increased pain in her neck and numbness in both hands. It was after that she saw Dr. Pikula. Dr. Pikula worked the patient up and found that she had a cervical disc and she subsequently underwent surgery.
It is my opinion that this patient's present problem of neck pain and her surgeries, both by Dr. Pikula in November 1998 and myself inJune 1999, were both the result of this injury that she sustained at work.
Plaintiff testified that the letter conformed to her conversations with Dr. Brown on the cause of her neck injury after she had informed him of the incidents involving her dog, the collapsing bed, and the dropping of the trailer.
Dr. Pikula's deposition testimony reveals that he performed surgery on plaintiff's neck on 17 November 1998 to relieve neck and arm pain she was experiencing due to a ruptured disc at C5-6 and C6-7. Dr. Pikula testified any type of pressure or any type of movement can give you a ruptured disc. Therefore, Dr. Pikula did not know what caused plaintiff's injury. Dr. Pikula stated plaintiff's disc rupture could have been caused by the incident involving plaintiff's dog, the collapsing bed, or the fifth-wheel pin but could not be pinpointed to one specific event absent serial x-rays showing a ruptured disc at one point in time as opposed to another. Dr. Pikula only recalled plaintiff telling him about the bed collapse when plaintiff saw him on 15 September 1998, but added that she had also informed him of returning to work the next day where she had picked up a paper tin, or . . . something doing [sic] with her truck, and she [had] turned her head and developed pain in her neck at this time. When asked if it were possible that an error had occurred during the dictation of his medical notes resulting in the transcription of picked up empty paper tin instead of pulled fifth-wheel pin, Dr. Pikula responded he did not know because two years had passed since the medical notes were transcribed.
Dr. Brown's deposition testimony tends to show that plaintiffwas referred to him with neck pain and pain in both arms in May 1999. Plaintiff told Dr. Brown her injury had begun after a bed fell on her neck in September [1998]. Because plaintiff complained of worsening symptoms, Dr. Brown obtained a new set of x-rays and performed a cervical MRI scan of her neck, revealing that level C5-6 had not fused satisfactorily. After Dr. Brown operated on plaintiff to attempt another fusion, her symptoms initially subsided but eventually returned. Based on Dr. Brown's recommendation, plaintiff did not return to work.
At the deposition, Dr. Brown was shown the To Whom It May Concern letter he had authored and was asked if he recalled the underlying conversation with plaintiff mentioned in the letter. Dr. Brown responded he did not remember the conversation. When asked what he did remember about the etiology of plaintiff's neck injury, Dr. Brown testified:
that she first sustained an injury in bed, that the symptoms from this seem to abate, that she is able to return to work, and that the following day she sustained an injury while at work where she was pulling on part of the machinery of her truck and had an episode of neck and arm pain that subsequently brought her to the attention of Dr. Pikula and her first operation.
Dr. Brown expressed the opinion plaintiff sustained an injury to her neck as a result [of] the lifting of the machinery or what she refers to as her fifth wheel that caused her to have the surgery. Dr. Brown explained his opinion was based not only on the conversation he had with plaintiff leading to the To Whom It May Concern letter but on:
the fact that the patient was able to get up and go to work, that the amount of pain thatshe had prior to the injury lifting the fifth wheel was not significant enough for her to stop what she was doing, but once she did injure herself, the degree of pain was.
Dr. Brown further testified that plaintiff's symptoms, experienced only after she attempted to pull the fifth-wheel pin, of the sudden onset of pain, numbness, tingling in the musculature, and a mistaken belief of experiencing a heart attack, were consistent with symptoms experienced by people with a ruptured disc. Plaintiff's medical records reveal that she reported to the emergency room on 2 September 1998 with these symptoms and concerns of experiencing a cardiac episode.
In its 27 January 2003 opinion and award, the Commission found in pertinent part:
Defendant[s] ha[ve] denied [plaintiff's] claim on the basis that the neck condition for which plaintiff was treated was not due to her injury at work but was due to the bed collapsing. It appears that plaintiff did have three neck injuries within a short period of time, including an injury at work which caused the most severe symptoms. She reported her injury at work immediately and sought medical treatment right away. Although there was some misunderstanding by the medical providers regarding what was involved in disconnecting her trailer, her histories were reasonably consistent during the first month. Although she did try to turn the focus towards the bed incident . . . , it was the injury at work which caused her to seek medical treatment due to the severity of the symptoms associated with that final injury.
The Commission concluded plaintiff had sustained an injury by accident arising out of and in the course of her employment and awarded compensation for plaintiff's temporary total disability and medical expenses.

Okay guys, so help me here with something. This is a picture of my dad from the 80s. He was obsessed with Bob Dylan and he was trying to copy him all the time. Me and my mom were cleaning around the house a few days ago and we found this, along with a bunch of other old pictures of him, and I said he did kinda look like Dylan but she says he looked nothing like Dylan. What do you guys think? Is it just me or did his attempts of copying Dylan actually payed off? XD

posted 5 years ago
Over the years I have always had large dogs and fed them dry dog food. After feeding them Kibbles & Bits for years I found the Publix Bits and Bones dog food and they liked it even better. Since I always shop at Publix it was always available for me when I shopped.
Pros: dogs love it
Cons: none

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My second grader was beat up by a gang of kids during recess. He tried to tell on duty recess staff, but they were too busy to listen. During the next recess he again attacked by these students. No one at the school seems to be interested in actually doing anything about violence. This is not the first time, but it is the last as I am taking my son out of this school.
Not sure yet to early for true review, so far so good, our son is now enrolled in "K" And I have yet been to any public meeting at the school outside of parent teacher meeting which I'll be attending today 11/12/2013.
My sons teacher is amazing BUT the parent involment SUCKS!! The event I have gone to there are only maybe 30 families that show up out of a school of 800! Are you kidding me, There is no staff at lunch and the safty of the students is not great! I'm looking into other opions for next year but Im not rich and cannot afford private school. This is America so what happpened to our education system. Why is it you eith have to be rich to give your kids the educatio they deserve or you have to fight tooth and nail just to get some education. Land of the free? We are no longer educationaly free, I can't beleave we spend more money on prisons then school. NO ONE ELSE SEES A PROBLEM WITH THIS. Why as parents are we so passive about all this, were is the fight of our forfathers!! No one seems to care anymore about our childrens education. WHY???
My Son Has Gone To Highland Since Pre School And I Believe The Teacher's Are Doing A Great Job With What They Have To Work With. I Not Think Any School Is Going To Be Perfect Now Days. It's All About Money And Our Kids Have To Deal With Not Having Band Class And Art Class Like When We Were In School. They Don't Even Have Money For Simple Supplies. I Don't Remenber My Parents Having A List To Go By For School Supplies? Do You ? But Highland And There Teacher Try Very Hard To Make It Work And I'm Very Thankful For That.
My daughter, now entering the fifth grade, has attended Highland since the first grade. The Principal cares very much for the students and goes above and beyond the call of duty in making sure their needs are met. The PTA does have only a couple of active participants, and the parents who are complaining above would do well to get involved. Schools only provide the opportunity for children to learn, and the rest of the work is up to the parents. They need to ensure that homework is being completed and encourage them to read and learn on their own. If the parents aren't doing that then there is little the teachers can do but babysit. Highland provides the tools to make sure that students can and do learn. Our experience has been very positive, and the teachers and administration are to be commended.
I so far am not to happy with this school there is know music class or after school program. The children seem out of control. I think if considering a school in vallejo dont choos this one because of lack of programs and lack of good teachers!
Involvement by principal is minimal. PTA has 4 parents involved on a regular basis. No continuity in rules and reactionary disciplinng based primarily on the principal's or teachers' moods for that day.
My son has attended highland since preschool, where he was also enrolled their day care program. He is now in the second grade.I think the academic are good, they have a great reading program and i have found that the teacher and staff have always been supportive and available.
Highland School has just been remodeled thanks to the citizens of Vallejo. Our city passed a 134 million dollar bond to do this. Highland looks beautiful on the inside now.
My son has been attending this school since grade K. He is a diabetic and the office staff has taken great care of his needs. His K & 1st grade teachers were great. I really can't complain.
I live one block from this school and my kid goes to Wardlaw, the leadership at this school stinks.

The Department of Consumer Protection has issued its annual Top Ten list of consumer complaints for the past year. According to a review of more than 6,000 written consumer complaints received in 2013, home improvement complaints took a back seat to fuel-related complaints for the first time, while telemarketing, retail, and Internet complaints, real estate, and auto dealer complaints remained stable. Business closures led to increased complaints in some areas. The department received a total of 6,008 written complaints in 2013, while the number of phoned-in complaints and questions numbered in the tens of thousands.
After a month-long campaign, where the community was invited to submit their picks for favorite Newtown businesses in four different categories, the Newtown Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club of Newtown announce the nominees for the 2014 Business of the Year award. The community is invited to vote for the business they feel is most deserving of each honor, has consistently displayed excellence in the way they serve their customers, and how they support the Newtown community. Voting will remain open through 5 pm March 31. A link to vote is posted on both the Newtown Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club of Newtown websites.
While all nominees will be given honorable mention, the top three nominees in each category will be highlighted at an awards dinner and ceremony on March 31.
The Newtown Economic Development Commission, the Newtown Chamber of Commerce and the local chapter of SCORE is kicking off its series of Small Business Seminars March 13. The series of free workshops for local business owners and entrepreneurs is sponsored by Newtown Savings Bank, with all activities taking place at the CH Booth Library. According to Newtown Economic Development Assistant Betsy Paynter, these seminars are designed to help local businesses stay competitive and successful by providing content and tools to help them grow and prosper in Newtown. In 2013, the EDC sponsored seven business seminars, covering a range of support content and business tools such as, disaster preparedness, online marketing, small business financing opportunities, e-mail marketing, and job-generating state programs.
The Newtown Chamber of Commerce will continue its free monthly networking events — which are free and open to all local business professionals — on Wednesday, March 12, at 8 am. The event will be held at Sal e Pepe Contemporary Italian Bistro, and will feature Neil Holme of Impact Business Technology. Mr Holme is slated to be speaking about "Technology Trends," including an overview of how to keep a business up to date with emerging equipment, as well as the benefits of embracing evolving technological advances.

Newtown residents and visitors to Sandy Hook have undoubtedly noticed recent improvements in the village center. Phase II of the new streetscape, with sidewalks, pedestrian-oriented lighting and amenities, was recently completed, enhancing the visual impression and creating a more enjoyable and walkable environment. Events and activities, such as Passport to Sandy Hook, The Great Pootatuck Duck Race, and the Sandy Hook Tree Lighting have been successful in bringing people to the village to celebrate and enjoy each other's company. A new branding and marketing program has been developed for Sandy Hook Village, and the community is gearing up to launch new promotional material that will benefit small businesses with the impending hire of a brand steward. Now, the village is working on the nuts and bolts of creating a strategic action plan, and the public is invited to participate. A Sandy Hook Action Planning Workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 12, at Sandy Hook Fire & Rescue Company's main station. Hosted by Sandy Hook Organization for Prosperity, the community is invited to attend and help craft the plan.
Responding to a call from The Newtown Bee, the operators of Newtown's independently owned RadioShack store said on March 4 they will remain open even as its corporate owners are announcing the closure of about 1,100 other company-owned stores across the country. RadioShack Corporation announced on Tuesday that it plans to close about a fifth of its US locations. The news came as the retailer reported a wider quarterly loss after a disappointing holiday season. Long known as a destination for batteries and obscure electronic parts, RadioShack has sought to remake itself as a specialist in wireless devices and accessories. But growth in the wireless business is slowing, as more people have smartphones and see fewer reasons to upgrade. In addition to slashing costs and shuffling management, RadioShack has been renovating its stores with a more modern look. The company said that the stores targeted for closings are being selected based on location, area demographics, lease duration, and financial performance.
The Working Women's Forum, an association of local professionals and entrepreneurs, will feature "Refining Your Public Speaking: Deliver Your Message Effectively" with Newtown resident and IT professional Alenda Calderbank on Wednesday, March 12, at The Villa Restaurant. Networking and light dinner begin at 6 pm, followed by the guest speaker. Many people find public speaking to be daunting, and have been discouraged from pursuing opportunities in order to avoid it, according to Ms Calderbank, a member of Toastmasters since 2005. In her talk, she will describe ways to get comfortable speaking before a group.
The Northern Fairfield Professionals, a networking group focusing on people in transition, will meet Tuesday, March 11, from 5:30 to 8 pm, at the Knights of Columbus building. Entrepreneurs and business professionals are invited to join the group for networking, followed by a presentation at 6 by Mark Troncone on "Everything that you wanted to know about networking, but were afraid to try." Admission is free.
As president and chief operating officer for Stamford-based Frontier Communications, Sandy Hook resident Dan McCarthy has a unique vantage point as his company moves through the process of taking over Connecticut's residential phone and communications services and infrastructure from AT&T. On December 17, 2013, Frontier Communications announced an agreement to acquire AT&T's wireline properties in Connecticut. Mr McCarthy expects the transition to close in the second half of 2014 while AT&T continues to provide service to its local customers.
On the strength of data compiled in a survey produced mainly by two Newtown residents, Governor Dannel Malloy announced that the state Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) and its Office of Tourism's "Still Revolutionary" campaign is paying off in a revolutionary way. New tracking results demonstrate the $22 million Statewide Tourism Marketing Fund investment over the course of 18 months has generated measurable gains in overall tourism spending to the state and has helped increase positive awareness of Connecticut as a place to visit. Since its inception, "Still Revolutionary," the state's award-winning marketing campaign, has reached target consumers in key markets with its message nearly 646 million times. According to a study conducted by strategic research firm Harrison Group, the effort is estimated to have generated dramatic shifts in perception about the state...

This Just In… Katie Grand x Hogan
Following in the footsteps of Karl Lagerfeld, editor and stylist extraordinaire, Katie Grand, has teamed up with Italian label, Hogan, to release a line of shoes and accessories.
In a perfect, fashion-world, fairytale kind of way, the collab came to be after Grand bumped into friends Andrea and Diego Della Valle in Elsa Schiaparelli's Paris apartment during couture week and they just got to chatting about it… you know, as you do. (BTW, the Della Valle family founded and run the Tod's Group - which owns Hogan.)
The range is a collection of classic styles and new designs in bright colours, high-shine leathers, and graphic hearts - a nod to the Love Magazine Editor's bi-annual fashion bible.
So while the hi tops have flown straight to the top of the Lust-Have List, it's the campaign video starring Katie's model besties that we really heart.
Name-checking: Linda Evangelista, Cara Delevingne, Missy Rayder, Maria Bradley, Kati Nescher, Edita Vilkeviciute, Magdalena Frackowiak, Julia Nobis, Saksia de Brauw, Dree Hemingway, Edie Campbell, Jessica Stam, Alessandra Ambrosio and Hilary Rhoda.

Eastern Bloc Party @ NYFW
Russians Miroslava Duma and Elena Perminova were one of the top-ranking fashion spectacles in Manhattan last week for NYFW: Spring / Summer 2013.
Dominating the front row and sidewalk-cum-catwalk outside the actual shows, the duo brought the best style game of the week.
Really, hardly challenging for a former editor at Russian Harper's Bazaar and her model bestie, right?
Still, we're lusting after Elena's (sold-out EVERYWHERE) Kenzo Tiger sweater and cut-offs, printed Tibi two-piece, and Mira's insanely amazing jewellery collection, linen Ralph Lauren suit and Hermes Constance bag.

Fashion Shower - Anna Dello Russo
To mark the arrival of Anna Dello Russo's collaboration with H&M in store next month, the irrepressible Italian has released a music video / fashion lecture called Fashion Shower.
In it, ADR teaches you everything you need to know about fashion and her generally fabulous life. Example? "Lesson no. 10: flashy jewels personalise your style!"
And with her gold-encrusted, animal heavy accessories collection raring to go, the flash is dialled up to eleven… thousand.
Seriously though, didn't anyone else kinda expect Mugatu to pop out and dance around ADR with a giant lollipop?

Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
On a stunning hillside vineyard located northwest of Philo, Savoy's Pinot Noir grapes develop intense flavor over a growing season lengthened by the cooling maritime influence that funnels through the Anderson Valley. A complex patchwork of clonal selections, each block is farmed to its own specific needs. Hand-picked in the early morning and trucked to the cellar while the fruit is cold allows for optimum handling and whole berry integrity.
"Deep, bright ruby. A complex bouquet displays scents of black raspberry, kirsch, potpourri and smoky minerals. Pliant red and dark berry flavors are framed by silky tannins and pick up a deeper cola quality with air. The dark berry notes dominate the impressively pure and seductively sweet finish. I wouldn't hesitate to drink this now, but expect that it will reward another five years or so of patience."

2000 Chateau Palmer Margaux
"One of the sexiest wines for drinking now and over the next 10-15 years is undoubtedly the 2000 Palmer. A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, the wine has an almost exotic floral nose, soft, undulating tannins, and tremendous opulence and flesh, with a full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannins, and loads of floral notes intermixed with blue and black fruits as well as hints of smoke and incense in its complex aromatics."

A few weekends ago, I watched a lovely documentary on Herb and Dorothy Vogel, a couple who managed to amass a collection of almost 5,000 pieces of contemporary art on their meager salaries as a postal worker and a reference librarian, respectively. With intense concentration, Herb and Dorothy befriended and collected from conceptual and contemporary artists like Lawrence Weiner, Christo and Jean Claude, Chuck Close and James Siena, with an eye toward understanding and unraveling the artistic process. Deeply enmeshed in the New York art scene, which is known for its exclusivity and pretensions, the Vogels managed to carve a impressive niche doing what they loved, exactly the way they wanted to do it.
One snippet of an interview with Richard Tuttle explaining why he was drawn to the Vogels has stuck with me since watching the film. "One of the things I liked about them was they were very strongly committed to animals. And I can't tell you why, but I think there is a remarkable relation between art and animals." Their apartment, though small, is filled to the brim with art and animals, from turtles, to fish to cats weaving in and out of the stacks. I'm not sure I have anything profound to add to that statement, but to me it has something to do with the purity of intention – art for art's sake, and the seeking to understand something beyond yourself. And now I've probably just gummed it all up with unnecessary words. Dang. Just go watch it.
