What support does Grand View provide to help students athletes succeed academically and graduate?
Our Athletic Success program offers ongoing support for all student athletes.
I'm thinking about going to a community college for two years and then transferring to Grand View. What things do I need to consider in making that decision?
While most community colleges offer a good foundation, national statistics show that freshmen who start at a private four-year college are much likelier to return for their sophomore year. (Eighty percent return to private colleges, while only 53% return to community colleges). There is also a very significant difference in graduation rates: 73% who start at private colleges as freshmen get a bachelor's degree, while only 36% who start at a community college and then go on for a four-year degree actually complete it.
Overall, students who begin their educations at private four-year colleges are much likelier to graduate, putting the money spent on their educations to use in a professional career. If you do decide to attend a community college first, we will welcome you to Grand View as a transfer student and support your success.
On what basis does Grand View make admissions decisions?
Grand View has an individualized undergraduate admissions process, where every applicant is evaluated across the whole spectrum of his/her experience and potential. We do require high school GPA/ class rank and ACT/SAT scores, but those are simply two elements of a much broader look that includes activities, accomplishments, interests and potential. Students are required to submit high school transcripts.
What are the GPA requirements for admission to Grand View?
Grand View has an individualized admissions process that takes into account the totality of an applicant's previous education. We look at your high school grades -- and, if you are a transfer or evening student -- the grades you earned for previous college credit. We also look at your standardized test scores, your activities, and other aspects of your total educational experience. There is no specific threshold GPA requirement.
How much does it cost to attend Grand View?
2011-12 annual tuition for full-time day students is $20,648. Average room and board is around $7,000. Remember that most GV students receive attractive financial aid packages which bring their overall expenses to a level that's comparable to the state universities.
Part-time and evening students pay by the credit hour, which varies. For complete tuition information, click here.
How do I pay for my books?
Book expenses are the responsibility of the student, and not typically covered by Financial Aid. However, bookstore vouchers are available to students who will have an excess of funds resulting from student loans whose financial aid is complete and who have met several conditions as described by financial aid. These vouchers are available in the Business Office. The cost of the books is charged to the student's tuition account and is then deducted from the amount of the financial aid refund.
(book voucher, bookstore voucher, voucher, book vouchers)

You must have a current Iowa teaching certificate by the time classes begin in the fall. If you have a teaching certificate from another state, you must be seeking certification in Iowa. If you've never had a teaching certificate in any state, with no prior background that qualifies you for one, you won't be able to enter the program in the education track.

How do I supply my transcripts from other colleges and universities?

How do I register for the next term and when?
Each semester, prior to registration, you will receive e-mail notification instructing you to make a registration appointment with your advisor. You make this appointment on your advisor's registration appointment schedule via myView or a sign-up sheet near your advisor's office door. Spring registration begins during the month of October, and summer and fall registration begins during the month of March. Note that your tuition must be paid in full prior to registration for the next term. Logging in on myView regularly will provide you with alerts when a hold that blocks registration has been applied to your record, as well as instructions on who to contact with questions.
Can I get a copy of my student's grades?
Under the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Educational Privacy Act, most student information is provided only to authorized individuals, which includes the student and certain parties within the College. Unless your student has signed a form authorizing you as a party to the information, grades and other information cannot be released. Please see the College catalog for more information.
The best way to get a copy of your student's grades is to ask your student.
What is FERPA?
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, passed in 1974, guarantees students and parents access to educational records and also prevents the release of records to unauthorized people and organizations. When a student turns 18 and/or enrolls in a post-secondary educational institution, rights under FERPA pass to the student. What that means is that unless a student signs written authorization giving parents acess to his or her records, those records can't be released to parents. FERPA extends to most information a college keeps or knows about a student.
Grand View has a written policy that outlines how we comply with FERPA. Please see the university catalog for a summary.
It can be frustrating for parents who want more information about their student than the university can legally provide. But rest assured that we comply with the law ... and we encourage students to share information with people who support them.
Can I register for classes online?
Currently, Grand View has limited online registration capability because faculty advisors play a key role in the registration and academic planning process.
How many students attend Grand View?

I think most folks are probably well aware of the Windows Subversion client, TortoiseSVN. It has been around for a number of years, and is easily one of the most handy version control clients on any platform.
Recently, I have been wanting to be able to do the same thing in Linux. Simply right-click and update. Sure I can use the command line, and sure I could even use Bazaar Explorer, but I don't always have a terminal open, and Bazaar Explorer doesn't work with files as much as workflow, and that doesn't always fly.

Bijan is my all time favorite scent. No other edp/edt comes close. I never go a single day without wearing perfume, and have owned hundreds of varieties. Yet nothing comes close to the alluring and seductive scent quite like this one. My second favorite is Donna Karan, by Donna Karan. Which has been retired and highly valued in my collection. Be sure to store perfumes in your refrigerator to keep them lasting longer and out of direct sunlight as well. Just a little tip from one woman to the world.

I've been wearing BIJAN for years now. No matter when I wear it, I ALWAYS get compliments and asked what the name of my perfume is. Men have asked as well. I would recommend this to anyone. However, the category of type of scent was not included. It's not flowery but no other category described the scent. I hope you always carry BIJAN!

DW Bistro?
I went to an event this afternoon that was hosted by the two men who own DW Bistro, on Ft. Apache (I guess that would make it in Summerlin...). There wasn't much in the way of food (nor should there have been), but the "light refreshments" that were served I assume were catered by the restaurant staff, and were delicious. Furthermore, when the hosts were thanked for allowing us to meet in the rec room of their condo (a beautiful 24th floor facility with sweeping views of the city), many people present started raving about their restaurant. I admit to never having heard of it, and was told "but its one of the hottest places in town..." Well, chowhounds, is it? I saw one passing mention of it here on CH, and that's it. I found the menu on google, and I have to admit it was appealing (Jamaican meets New Mexican?? Well, I can see it, one of the gentlemen is Jamaican and perhaps the other is from New Mexico....
Several folks I talked to were especially enthusiastic about the weekend brunch, and I have to admit there are several items (jerk fried chicken and waffles, jerk pork hash, a New Mexican pork stew, etc) that definitely appeal. The prices seem quite reasonable. There also are a number of good-looking vegetarian options so I should be able to convince DH to come along...
I'm wondering if this restaurant really is as good as it sounds, and somehow I've managed to miss it? Or perhaps its too far off-strip to be on most Chowhounds' radar. The good news is that they announced tonight that in early 2013 they will be opening a second location downtown (in the old Andre's location). In the meantime, I guess I will have to make the trek out there and check it out....
Again, curious if any local hounds have been to DW Bistro?
re: susancinsf
Andre's downtown location has been closed for a couple of years. They still have a location at the Monte Carlo.
re: Eric
We went to DW Bistro in May for lunch before flying home - here are my TR notes with some photos:
This very modern and attractive restaurant is included in the dining guide "Eating Las Vegas: The 50 Essential Restaurants". It is nicely decorated with lots of modern art hanging from the walls. I took the opportunity to introduce myself to co-owner Dalton Wilson, aka DW, who was born in Jamaica and raised in New Mexico. The menu is a reflection of his heritage.
Ann ordered the Jamaican curry chicken bowl which was loaded with fresh vegetables and served over rice. I countered with New Mexican-style slow cooked pork simmered in red chili with an easy over egg and served over rice. Both dishes were delicious. Neither of us could come close to finishing though we both tried knowing it would be many hours before our next meal. When I went to settle the bill, our waiter told us Dalton did not want us departing for CT without trying a piece of his carrot cake.
I thought we might receive a small sliver, but it was very large slice of the best carrot cake in the universe. The cake looked almost too good to eat with its white chocolate curls on the top. Unfortunately my photography skills do not match the chef's baking skills.
This meal, our last of the trip, turned out to be the best of our entire 14-day vacation.
re: westie
Thanks Westie...that cake does look amazing!! OK, its on the list!!
re: westie
On my list, too, westie -- Thanks!

Interpretive Handbook
9765 :
Selenium, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Selenium is an essential element. It is a cofactor required to maintain activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), an enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of organic hydroperoxides. The absence of selenium correlates with loss of GSH-Px activity and is associated with damage to cell membranes due to accumulation of free radicals.
The normal daily dietary intake of selenium is 0.01 to 0.04 parts per million (ppm), which is similar to the typical content of soil (0.05 ppm) and sea water (0.09 ppm). Selenium is found in many over-the-counter vitamin preparations because its antioxidant activity is thought to be anticarcinogenic. There is no supporting evidence that selenium suppresses cancer.
In humans, cardiac muscle is the most susceptible to selenium deficiency. With cell membrane damage, normal cells are replaced by fibroblasts. This condition is known as cardiomyopathy and is characterized by an enlarged heart whose muscle is largely replaced by fibrous tissue.
In the United States, selenium deficiency is related to use of total parenteral nutrition. This is therapy administered to patients with no functional bowel, such as after surgical removal of the small and large intestine because of cancer, or because of acute inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease. Selenium supplementation to raise serum concentration >70 ng/mL is the usual treatment. Serum monitoring done on a semiannual basis checks the adequacy of supplementation.
Selenium toxicity has been observed in animals when daily intake exceeds 4 ppm. Teratogenic effects are frequently noted in the offspring of animals living in regions where soil content is high in selenium such as south-central South Dakota and northern-coastal regions of California. Selenium toxicity in humans is not known to be a significant problem except in acute overdose cases. Selenium is not classified as a human teratogen.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring selenium replacement therapy
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Selenium accumulates in biological tissue. The normal concentration in adult human blood serum is 70 to 150 ng/mL (0.15 parts per million) with a population mean value of 98 ng/mL. Optimal selenium concentration is age dependent (see Reference Values); children require less circulating selenium than do adults.
In the state of selenium deficiency associated with loss of glutathione peroxidase activity, the serum concentration is usually <40 ng/mL.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Selenium is quite volatile; therefore, careful specimen collection is necessary to ensure accurate results.
High concentrations of gadolinium, iodine, and barium are known to interfere with most metals tests. If either gadolinium-, iodine-, or barium-containing contrast media has been administered, a specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-2 months: 45-90 ng/mL
3-6 months: 50-120 ng/mL
7-9 months: 60-120 ng/mL
10-12 months: 70-130 ng/mL
>1 year: 70-150 ng/mL

Photo Enforcement Program
The City of Scottsdale has used photo enforcement technology since 1996 to supplement Police Department efforts to reduce red-light running and speeding. The city today contracts with a vendor (American Traffic Solutions - ATS) to operate photo enforcement cameras at nine fixed locations and in four mobile photo enforcement vans.
Red-light citations are issued only when vehicles enter an intersection after the light has turned red. Speed citations are issued only when a vehicle is moving at 11 mph or faster above the speed limit, or 6 mph or faster over the limit in school zones. At the fixed locations at intersections, cameras photograph both red-light runners and speeders. At mid-block locations, cameras photograph only speeders.
In the summer of 2013, the City of Scottsdale will be changing some of the existing locations where photo enforcement equipment is operated. The map illustrates the existing locations and the new locations that will be coming online. The City of Scottsdale will provide a news release and 30 days public notice before each new site becomes active. This site will also be updated to show the latest changes.
For a map of the Scottsdale Photo Enforcement locations, click hereLEGEND:
Blue - currently installed cameras
Red - adding in 2013
Yellow - School Zone (adding in 2013)
Light Blue - Fixed Speed

During March's Colon Cancer Awareness Month Enroll in Historic Cancer Prevention Study to Make a Difference in the Fight
March is National Colon Cancer Awareness Month. As the American Cancer Society celebrates its 100th birthday this year, it is emphasizing the importance of age-appropriate colorectal cancer screenings and asking Californians to help defeat the disease by enrolling in a historic research study. An estimated 5,135 Californians will die from colorectal cancer (commonly called colon cancer) in 2013, accounting for nine percent of all cancer deaths.
The Society recommends Californians reduce their risk of developing the disease by maintaining a healthy weight, getting plenty of physical activity, and eating a diet high in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and low in red and processed meats. Limiting alcohol intake can also reduce colon cancer risk. For information about colon cancer screening and nutrition and physical activity recommendations visit cancer.org/coloncancer.
Colon cancer is highly treatable if found early. Half of all colon cancer deaths in the United States could be prevented if everyone followed recommended screening guidelines. Most people should begin screening at age 50, and those with a family history are at higher risk and may need to be screened earlier.
Colon cancer death rates have dropped by more than 30 percent over the past two decades thanks in part to progress made by the American Cancer Society. The Society works with community partners to provide education and access to colon cancer screening in areas hardest hit by the disease. Society-funded research has led to improved understanding about the link between diet and colorectal cancer, and the development of drugs to treat colorectal cancer.
This spring, the Society is offering an unprecedented opportunity for Californians to change the face of colon cancer and all cancers for future generations by participating in a historic long-term study. 300,000 diverse men and women ages 30 to 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer are needed to enroll in the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3).
"Many cancer patients struggle to answer the question, 'What caused my cancer?' In many cases, we don't know the answer," said Alpa V. Patel, Ph.D., principal investigator of CPS-3. "CPS-3 will help us better understand what factors cause cancer, and once we know that, we can be better equipped to prevent cancer."
Dr. Patel added, "Our previous cancer prevention studies have been instrumental in helping us identify some of the major factors that can affect cancer risk. CPS-3 holds the best hope of identifying new and emerging cancer risks, and we can only do this if members of the community are willing to become involved."
The opportunity for Californians to enroll in CPS-3 will take place at the below local sites:
• In Palm Springs and Palm Desert from May 7-16; visit www.cps3palmsprings.org to register.
• In San Diego County at ten locations from March 10-23; visit www.cps3sandiego.org to register.
• In Los Angeles County at dozens of locations from April 18-May 9; visit www.cps3la.org to register.
For more information about CPS-3 visit cancer.org/cps3 or call the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study-3 Information Line at (888) 604-5888; or (800) 227-2345.

The Yardbirds
Rolling Stones Joined By Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor and Florence Welch For 2nd O2 Show
Last night, their guests were Eric Clapton (for a cover of Muddy Waters' "Champagne And Reefer") and Florence Welch, of the British band Florence & The Machine, for "Gimme Shelter."
Jimmy Page On The Violin Bow: "Whatever Squeaks I Made Sort Of Intrigued Me"
Page used the bow on a few Yardbirds songs: "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor" and "Glimpses" from their 1967 album, "Little Games," and then on Led Zeppelin's 1969 self-titled debut ("Dazed And Confused" and "How Many More Times"). But he wasn't the first British rock guitarist to take the bow to his axe.
Jimmy Page On Joining The Yardbirds: "I Was Tired Of The Studio Grind"
"I went to see the Yardbirds play at this really stuffy student black-tie event at Cambridge University. The singer, Keith Relf, got quite inebriated and was being really punky. He was really staring down the establishment and put on a magnificent rock and roll performance. He was knocking things over and shouting obscenities at the audience. I really enjoyed myself." — Jimmy Page

After losing her beloved cat, Cookie, Wilma Trani's friends suggested she visit the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City. She shared the following story with us about her first trip to the Adoption Center, and her subsequent adoption of brother and sister kittens, Milo and Mia.
My love and obsession for cats started 20 years ago. I have cared for a total of five cats, and I adopted all of them from shelters—I never have any regrets.
We recently lost our most precious, spoiled and much-loved cat of ten years, Cookie, to a serious illness, leaving us with empty hearts and an empty home. We longed for the company of another cat, but wanted to look around.
My friends adopted their cat at the ASPCA Adoption Center about two years ago, and they had a positive experience and suggested we visit. So,on a beautiful day in April, my daughter and I decided to take our first trip to the ASPCA to "just look" at the cats—who were we kidding?
We walked into the building and saw content cats in a beautiful and stimulating environment and immediately knew we were not there to just look but to adopt.
After filling out the paperwork, a pleasant woman escorted us to a nice, clean room full of cats and, immediately, we saw two adorable three-month-old kittens—a brother and sister pair. It was love at first sight!
Two hours later and a phone call to my understanding and loving husband, we walked out with two cute additions to our family—Milo and Mia.
They are funny, adorable, mischievous, loving, naughty and spoiled. We love them to pieces, and they are adjusting well to their new home and family. Our hearts and home are no longer empty!

Verenium reports first-quarter loss
3:31 PM MDT | May 9, 2013 | Rebecca Coons
Enzyme producer Verenium reported a net loss from operations of $3.8 million for its fiscal first quarter ended 31 March, compared with $32.1 million in the year-ago quarter. The year-ago quarter included a $31.3 million gain on the sale of Verenium's oilseed processing business to DSM. Sales fell 20%, to $13.8 million, primarily due to 2 licensing deals signed in the year-ago quarter. Combined product and contract manufacturing revenue increased 6%, to $12.4 million. Product revenue decreased 13%, to $10.2 million, primarily due to a...

Luna 15, launched only three days before the historic Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, was the second Soviet attempt to recover and bring lunar soil back to Earth. In a race to reach the Moon and return to Earth, the parallel missions of Luna 15 and Apollo 11 were, in some ways, the culmination of the Moon race that defined the space programs of both the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1960s.
After a midcourse correction the day after launch, Luna 15 entered lunar orbit at 10:00 UT on 17 July 1969. The spacecraft remained in lunar orbit for four days while controllers checked all onboard systems and performed two orbital maneuvers. After astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin had already set foot on the Moon, Luna 15 fired its main retrorocket engine to initiate descent to the surface at 15:47 UT on 21 July 1969.
Unfortunately, transmissions ceased only 4 minutes after deorbit at a calculated altitude of 3 kilometers. The spacecraft had probably crashed into the side of a mountain. Impact coordinates were 17° north latitude and 60° east longitude in Mare Crisium.

Dear Friend,
As you know, there is a major "gas rush" in many parts of Pennsylvania, and our state does not have sufficient safeguards to protect the environment and public. We need your help, please join our Fall Campaign to Make Drilling Safe in PA.
The Susquehanna County community of Dimock is an example of "drilling gone bad," where more than a dozen families have lost their water supplies due to gas drilling pollution. A Clearfield County gas well blow-out went uncontrolled for nearly a day, spewing gas and wastewater more than 75 feet in the air. Pennsylvania and West Virginia gas drilling workers have been killed in both accidents.
Sierra Club is working hard to protect Pennsylvania from these kinds of threats. Click here to join our Fall Campaign to Make Drilling Safe in PA!
We are working to pass legislation to:
Lives have been lost, our streams fouled, groundwater and soil contaminated, and local roads damaged under the weight of drilling trucks. Please take a stand today by joining our Fall Campaign to Make Drilling Safe in PA!
Thanks for your support!

On October 1, Bill Jennings officially began his duties as
President & Chief Executive Officer of Bridgeport Hospital
and Executive Vice President of Yale New Haven Health
System. He joins the hospital from SSM St. Mary's Health
Center, a 582-bed hospital in St. Louis, MO, where he was
also President of the SSM St. Louis Heart Institute.
Bill recently fielded the following questions submitted by area
residents, former patients and employees.
Q: The new Emergency Department looks great, but it
still takes a long time to see a doctor. What's being
done to reduce wait times?
A: The Emergency Department (ED) is a critical access
point for healthcare in the community. I also know that
wait times are the source of much concern for some.
Because of that, I spent my first night on the job in
the ED and learned that many steps have been taken
to address wait times. Here's what I learned: A Rapid
Assessment Team, consisting of a physician or physician
assistant, nurse and ED technician, sees patients quickly
and starts diagnostic testing within minutes of the
patient's arrival. After initial evaluation of their condition,
patients are referred to the care team for treatment
of simple injuries, wound management, suture removal
or to initiate care for more complex medical needs.
The ED also has a new nurse-flow coordinator who
manages patient arrivals and ensures that tests and
treatments are done. Finally, the ED has new "scribes"
(specialized medical transcribers), who perform nonmedical
functions and record details of a patient's visit
as dictated by the ED physician. The scribes allow
physicians to focus more closely on patients and to see
more patients.
I know that these and other steps will help reduce
ED wait times. Our ED has undergone a multi-year
expansion and renovation to provide the latest state-ofthe-
art technology to our patients and medical teams.
Now we're working on process improvement to streamline
the great care we deliver.
Q: During recent trips to the hospital to visit
family and friends, I've noticed that it's harder
to find a parking space. Do you have plans to
add more parking or set aside more spaces just
for visitors?
A: Great point and one we're making progress on. The
solution to this is well underway, thanks to our facilities
management team. First, I should explain that
our Agnes and Ernie Kaulbach Parking Pavilion on
Grant Street and the Ahlbin Centers Garage on Mill
Hill Avenue are used by patients, visitors and staff,
including myself. The Emergency Department (ED)
Garage is for staff only, and 50 spaces in that garage
are reserved for physicians. During the past year,
we've seen a strain on the availability of parking for
visitors and staff. This is due mostly to renovations
in our ED garage, which have temporarily removed
more than 100 spaces from use. As a result of the
work in the ED garage, we needed to move employees
to the Kaulbach (Grant Street) Garage. We've
also seen a big increase in outside nursing schools
using the hospital as a training site, which brings
more cars to our garage. However, we've just moved
25 employees from the Kaulbach Garage to the Ahlbin
Centers Garage, freeing up parking spots for patients
and visitors. Recently, 100 spaces re-opened in the ED
Garage and another 50 employees were moved from
the Kaulbach Garage to the ED Garage. Therefore,
I am confident we'll all soon see significant improvement
in parking availability–in time for the busy
winter season.
Q: I can understand that the new visitor sign-in
system in your lobby is for security, but now
it takes longer to get in and visit patients. Is the
new system permanent?
A: The new Visitor Confirm system is permanent, and
we are one of many hospitals taking new measures to
further ensure the safety of patients, visitors and staff.
Visitor Confirm was championed by our Patient-Family Advisory Council and is a response to patients and staff
members who recognize the value of a liberal visitation
policy, but at the same time want to ensure that everyone
in the building has a reason to be here. Additionally,
Visitor Confirm, along with the hospital's employee
badge-in system and patient registration system,
allows us to know exactly who is in the building
at any given time so that in the case of an emergency
(such as last summer's tornado) we can quickly and
efficiently track and account for everyone in our
"house." In terms of visitor wait times, the former
system of looking up a patient's location, writing out
a pass and providing directions to the visitor took
about 60 seconds. Based on actual observation, Visitor
Confirm takes roughly the same amount of time—and
it prints out a visitor badge. In my first weeks on the job,
I've asked visitors and employees how they feel about
the new system. The response has been positive, and
Visitor Confirm has been welcomed as an enhancement.
Q: I like the décor in your lobby food shop,
but how about reducing prices a little and
offering more variety?
A: It's been our aim to provide quality menu selections
in our Jazzman's/Pandini's lobby shop and our secondfloor
cafeteria (Café 267) that cater to the preferences
of our visitors. Café 267's menu is designed to
offer value, selection and quick service. Deli, grill, entrée
and soup/sandwich combo meals are a great way
to stretch your money, and you can add a side dish
and fountain beverage for just a couple of dollars
more. Coffee lovers can purchase a reusable coffee
mug and get refills for only 90 cents. Café 267
also offers a "value" muffin-and-coffee breakfast and
"value" pre-made sandwiches. "Value" burgers or chicken
sandwiches for $1 are also being considered.
Based on a survey of visitors and staff about food
preferences and price, Jazzman's/Pandini's in our main
lobby offers a more upscale dining experience. There was
also a very strong desire for freshly prepared items
that customers were willing to wait for and pay a
bit more for. While Jazzman's/Pandini's may not be
a choice for value meals, it does meet the specific needs of
many of our visitors and staff.
Q: Are there plans to move more services into
the towns surrounding the hospital?
A: We know that patients prefer to have safe, high-quality
services near their homes so they don't have to travel
far to access them. To that end, we must continue to
invest in placing services in the communities we serve
so they are closer to the residents who need them.
These include facilities like our Fairfield Urgent Care
Center, Huntington Walk-In Medical Center, laboratory
blood draw stations and Ahlbin Centers outpatient
rehabilitation sites. Our most recent example is a
brand new building, which will provide radiation on
cology services, that is being constructed on the Norma
F. Pfriem Cancer Institute Park Avenue campus at 5520
Park Avenue in Trumbull. At the same time, we need
to ensure that the infrastructure of our main campus in
Bridgeport is well maintained and kept current.

Portland, Maine, 1947. Two teenagers, one white, one black, rummaged through the record bins at Knight's Used Furniture store.
The two didn't know each other, but they scavenged for the same music: Mostly harmony-rich records of duos from the south. Back then it was frequently called "hillbilly music," and it often arrived in Portland via military personnel who had traveled from southern homes to their Maine station. When recruits were called overseas, they'd often sell their 78 RPM hillbilly records to Knight's for 15 cents apiece, and the store would sell them to kids like Al Hawkes and Alton Myers for 25 cents each.
But there weren't a lot of kids like Hawkes and Myers, searching for the plaintive sounds of the rural south, up in Maine. The fact they were of different races seemed less important than their similar taste in music.
"When I saw Alton, I probably thought, 'Well, he's a little different," said Hawkes, now 80. "But we liked the same music, and he told me he was learning guitar. And I said, 'Why don't we try to play some music together?' "
They did, and though the music did not make any charts, it made long-hidden history. Billed as Allerton & Alton, the pairing of Hawkes and Myers constituted what is believed to be the only black-and-white duo ever in country music. After more than 60 years, their live recordings from Maine radio stations are now available, through Germany-based Bear Family Records, on a set called Black, White and Bluegrass.
"This is a fascinating piece of American musical history," said John Rumble, senior historian at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. "These guys were standing up there as co-equals, in a duet. Considering the racial climate of the nation then, it really was unusual to have a black man and a white man making music together. It's something far out of the ordinary."
