Family Experience Encouraged Moore County Woman to Volunteer with Hospice
| Date Posted: 5/12/2016
Sandra Moody has volunteered with FirstHealth Hospice & Palliative Care since last fall, reviewing patient charts and ensuring they have all the necessary information to be closed.
PINEHURST – As often occurs with volunteers, a personal experience encouraged Sandra Moody to begin volunteering with FirstHealth Hospice & Palliative Care.
Moody's brother-in-law was briefly a patient there, and she had been impressed by the care he received and the professionalism and compassion of the staff providing it.
"I thought volunteering here would be something I really would enjoy doing, very worthwhile," she says.
Moody joined the Hospice volunteer program last fall and now spends one afternoon a week reviewing patient charts to ensure they include all of the information necessary to be closed. It's meticulous work that brings her to the Hospice campus off 15-501 North for three hours every Wednesday. It's also work for which she is very well-suited.
A series of family moves related to her husband's work with the USDA and later the N.C. Department of Agriculture had placed her in a variety of jobs, including one in medical records, that introduced her to the skills that have proved valuable to her Hospice experience.
"Sandra made one suggestion on a process that has significantly improved how we work toward chart closures," says Hospice Volunteer Services manager Susanne Martinez. "This is just one example of how much difference a fresh perspective can make."
Born in Guilford County, Moody met her Chatham County-born husband, Earle, when both were children. Married for 50 years this month, they moved to Moore County from Garner two years ago to be closer to one of their two daughters, her husband and their two teenage children. Their younger daughter works as a bereavement counselor in the Raleigh area.
Much of the Moodys' time since their move to Moore County has involved helping the family of the daughter who is here establish a garden and following their grandson's baseball games while renovating and landscaping their own home.
"We both have dirt under our fingernails," she says. "It's a work in progress, but we really enjoy it."
Finding some time on her hands after a couple of years of home renovations and prefering to stay busy, Moody contacted Hospice about volunteer opportunities. After deciding that he wanted to volunteer, too, her husband started working in wheelchair maintenance at Moore Regional Hospital.
The two have always been active in their church, no matter where they have lived, and have taken a number of mission trips, doing construction work or dramatic presentations from West Virginia to Alaska and Mississippi (following Hurricane Katrina) to Vermont. They are now members of Southern Pines' First Baptist Church, where she sings in the choir and serves on the Senior Adult Council and he ushers. Both also enjoy the fellowship of the church's Rolling Retirees group.
The Sandra Moody volunteer story doesn't end here, though. Finding she missed the "people contact" that her often-solitary Hospice job requires, Moody recently began volunteering at Moore Regional. She now spends Wednesday mornings assisting families in the hospital's Outpatient waiting area. She meets her husband in the cafeteria for lunch and then reports to Hospice, where she is constantly reminded of the important service the program provides.
"It's such a caring organization," Moody says. "At a time like that, people need to know there is someone to hold their hand and be there. People here are so warm and caring."
Sandra Moody has volunteered with FirstHealth Hospice & Palliative Care since last fall, reviewing patient charts and ensuring they have all the necessary information to be closed.

Hello all,
I am new to the site, as a matter of fact, I am new to all of this. And up until early July my life was smooth sailing. Then suddenly, my ship hit an iceberg. I have been reading some of the other posts and feel that my personal afflictions don't even compare to hardships faced by others. I know that I'm lucky, I know that I'm loved, I know a bright future is in front of me and yet, I feel sad. Really sad. Though it comes in spells, when it hits, it hits hard.
This past April I packed up and relocated- new job and everything. I was tired of the long distance relationship with my girlfriend so I made the move, leaving all of my family and friends behind. I lived in a hotel the first six weeks I was down here, in mid June I moved in to her mom's house have been living with my girlfriend, her mom, her step-dad, and her brother who is home from college. But our apartment
opens up September 1 so that's something to look forward to. All of this along with the new job, and being seperated from my friends who I have lived with, and hung out with pretty much every day for the past 8 years.
I thought my transition was going well until early July when I had, what was ultimately diagnosed as a panic attack. Athough I wasn't doing anything stressful, or thinking about
anything in particular- it just hit me. I couldn't breathe, I was in a cold sweat, dehydrated, light headed, and had an overwhelming feeling that I was going to burst in to tears. That day was also the last time that I had any tobacco/nicotine or soda in my system. But more importantly that day is when my spells began. Sometimes I feel sad, I feel alone. My girlfriend is busy with work and sometimes feel like I don't have anyone to back me up. I have a seperation complex. I get sad, overwhelmingly sad. I get apprehensive. I feel alone.
Someone once told me that "change is good". I just don't know why I am having such a tough time with it. I want my life back, and I need some perspective. This is the first step I have taken for seeking outside advice on my situation- I look forward to your thoughts. Thanks!

hi and welcome.
i know it's not easy to tell someone about
these things. most peoples reaction is to say "just get over it" nope, sorry that just doesn't happen.the moving to a new town, getting a new job, and quiting tobacco/nicotine or soda all at the same time is a big deal. any one of those things would be enough to throw anybody much less all three. so don't be hard on yourself. o and the "overwhelming feeling that I was going to burst in to tears" is part of the whole anxiety thing. i get it too. for me, i was perscribed Buspar(sp?) twice a day. and wellbutrin XL. together they've helped alot. you might want to see someone for help if these panic attacks presist. they are trained to help. it's not any fun feeling the way you do, i know. i hope things get better for you soon.

Thank you, I just can't seem to beat the blues today. I don't know what will make me happy. I was doing better, then last night, out of nowhere, it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I am sitting at work just sad about
nothing in particular.

i find the more i think about
it the worse and longer it lasts. i try to keep myself occupied. just to keep my mind busy on other things. not too hard here at the house since i have 4 kids, but late at night, car rides, or when it's just quiet it drives me nuts sometimes. I hope there is at least something good that happens for you today.........sometimes i just ONE thing to go right to make the whole day better. sometimes it feels like the world is falling apart all around me and there's nothing i can do to stop it which it seem so overwhelming.sometimes it helps to only focuse on the task at hand and not the big picture.
i need to go, but before i do, I hope things get better today. maybe do something nice with your Girlfriend today after work. catch a movie or dinner....just some one on one time or something. just to give you something to look forward to.it's always good to have something nice to look forward to.

Hi and welcome!
You've made a lot of moves all at once. That can cause anxiety and depression. I think if you would talk with a doctor about
your feelings it would help. He might want to recommend some medication that would be of help.
Hope you find an answer. Dee

Hi, VG and welcome to the group. I know that when you are going through is overwhelming and will take some getting used to. Perhaps it is just the matter of living withn your girlfriend's family that is causing you there feelings and to add to that, you left your "comfort zone" and now have to befriend a new one. That is very hard, believe me, I can relate. A panic attack isn't that uncommon and I do think you should see a physician. They can help you with that. You have to ask yourself what is making you sad or depressed and how you can overcome it if you can at all. Like I sad, you are living outside your environment. Could you be having second thoughts about
your personal life and new job? Meditate. I do and it helps. I try to dismiss the negative and sometimes ot works.
Case in point. I am 55, a wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and sister-in-law and daughter-in-law. I left my entire family, all 25 of them back in Florida after living there for 32 years. I am now living in Vermont and the reason we moved is that my husband had a very good job offer and we felt it was time to move on. We had some issues there and that was as good a time as any. I don't work because I have Lupus. I drove since I was 15 and now I don't drive because I have epilepsy and my husband takes me everywhere which is a pain for him even though he doesn't say anything. I schedule my appointments around his schedule as to ot infringe on his work. I miss seeing my grandchildren grow, even though I have been back to visit 3 times, all for 3 weeks. I have 3 grandchildren who don't really know me because they are too little. They are 8,6,4,2,1, 2 by my oldest daughter and 3 by my youngest, ages 34 and 32. I miss my mom who is 84 yrs ols and lives alone even though my 3 sisters keep a close eye on her. She gets around better than I do and she still drives. I have no means of transportation as I live in the mountains and it is beautiful here. I will have been here 4 yrs in Nov. I am used to it now even though I long for my family. It was our choice to make and we made it. It was the best thing we did. Jacksonville Florida has gone to the dogs. All the polution and noise and road rage I couldn't stand it anymore. My daughters have their own families now and so do the others.
It is going to take time for you to adjust but you still have to ask yourself the questions that I mentioned above. I hope you will find comfort here, as I know I have.
God bless!
There is no such word as can't. Can't simply means wouln't. Grab as much as life as you can. Future is a long way away for those who don't believe. Don't build a foundation of life on sand. It will take it away with the tide. Love a little more, be unkind a lot less.

Adding my welcome and reassurance that you are not alone. Life changes can be dramatic to our emotions and you are going through several of the all at the same time. It is great that you are reaching out for help, the first step in finding yourself again. I know that I will travel in whichever direction I face. I sounds like you are beginning to turn and face back to the light. Keep working at it and know that as you do, the darkness will decrease and slowly things will change for the good.
We can respond to irritation with a smile instead of scowl, or by giving warm praise instead of icy indifference. By our being understanding instead of abrupt, others, in turn, may decide to hold on a little longer rather than to give way. Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.

29 October 2008
A new poll conducted in the US indicates that consumers are increasingly choosing non-invasive cosmetic procedures over surgery due to the current economic crisis.
The study is set to be released in conjunction with Plastic Surgery 2008, the annual meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), which will run from October 31 to November 5 in Chicago.
Identical economic surveys were conducted by the ASPS in March and October of this year. The latest results showed that 27 per cent of respondents were considering less expensive cosmetic surgery procedures due to the economic pressures, up from 20 per cent in March.
What's more, when asked to compare procedures undertaken during the first six months of 2008 with the same period in 2007, 73 per cent of ASPS Member Surgeons reported an increase in or stable demand for non-surgical procedures, like Botox, chemical peels and fillers.
62 per cent, on the other hand, cited a decrease in breast augmentation, while 64 per cent claimed a reduction in liposuction.
Dr Richard D'Amico, ASPS president, said: "It appears more consumers are choosing the less invasive cosmetic procedures, both to give them a boost or to buy time if they need to postpone a more costly invasive surgical procedure because of the economic downturn...
"It is very clear the economy is affecting the demand for surgical cosmetic procedures... And while ASPS Member Surgeons are feeling the impact of the economy, we anticipate the historic bounce when patients return as the economy improves."

How To Clean A Yellow Stain From An Autographed Baseball
When learning how to clean a yellow stain from an autographed baseball, be sure to be careful the first time you try. Your autographed baseball that became yellow from age and use probably means the world to you, and cleaning it the wrong way could potentially ruin the ball or the autograph. If you carefully follow these simple instructions when cleaning a yellow stain from an autographed baseball, your ball will look like new again.
- Place the autographed baseball on a clean paper towel. This is to ensure the ball doesn't move around as it gets cleaned.
- Put a couple dabs of toothpaste on the baseball. It is best to use toothpaste that contains baking soda. Rub the toothpaste in gently, being extra careful on the autographed portion of the ball. Let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Use a damp sponge or a scouring pad to gently rub the baseball. Rub the ball in a circular motion, very gently. Do this for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on how dirty the baseball is. After cleaning, let the ball sit for 20 seconds or so.
- Rub the autographed baseball clean with a dry wash cloth. The ball may still feel a bit sticky from the toothpaste, but don't worry about this.
- Dampen the wash cloth with hot water and gently rub the ball. Using the dampened cloth, rub any excess toothpaste residue and dirt off the ball until it is clean.
- Dry the ball with a paper towel. Using a dry paper towel, rub any moisture away on the baseball. Your ball should be clean, and the autograph should not be damaged.

Since getting my new gaming machine, I've been revisiting some of my favorite series. One of these is the Assassins Creed pentilogy. I've played the first two and a part of Brotherhood, but got distracted at the start of this year when we started looking for a house. Rather than picking up where I left off, I decided to start from the beginning. It has been five years since I played the original and I'd like to experience the story in one continuous flow. Hoping the momentum will carry me all the way through to the newly released AC3.
As I came upon Jerusalem I was reminded just how amazingly pretty this game can be. Aside from all of the backstabbing, flag hunting, horse chases, and general chaos, there is a wonderful and engrossing depiction of a thousand year-old land that is rich with life and culture. It's a great experience filled with some fantastic game play.
So far I have assassinated Tamir and am now en route to Acre and Jerusalem to report to the guild masters there. I've been slow-playing the story so far instead spending time hunting the Templar and the various hidden flags. I've managed 24/60 Templar and 79/100 King Richard flags so far, which for about eight hours of play is pretty good. Hoping to continue the slow pace and savor the experience.

USB Issues
So, it only took a week to finally get Windows 7 installed and now, the majority of my USB devices are inaccessible?? what??
The problem is, they get power and device manager reports they are working but ... they're not, they can't be accessed; for example; a USB stick that works on my laptop (running 7068) will not run on my RC1 PC.
I'm guessing this is a driver issue because they worked fine in Vista, one thing I have noticed though, whenever it comes to install related to USB e.g. My G15 Keyboard drivers, it takes forever (around 20-30 mins).
There is however 1 USB device connected that works and that is my keyboard, which is what I don't understand, why would Windows allow that device but no other?
Any ideas?

MAC Address Spoofing
I had problems with spoofing my mac address on Windows 7022, but eventually somehow(I have no idea how) it eventually worked. I upgraded to 7068, and it will not change.
I've tried everything, registry keys, programs, everything.
I have a Linksys WUSB600N Wireless-N USB Network adapter with Dual-Band v2.
What can I do?
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2009
In the device manager, go to your adapter. Right click on it, choose properties. There then should be an advanced tab with network address choice. Fill in what you want there. If you don't have this, your driver doesn't support it. There then may be a 3rd party driver for you adapter.
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2009
My driver doesn't support it, yet I've changed it before? How does that work out?
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2009
Not sure. Maybe you did a windows update and it put a version of the driver that can't do it. Only a guess.
Here's the driver from the linksys page...but it doesn't say for which o.s. I'm guessing it's for XP/Vista in one. Vista verson should work well...then see what's up.
Linksys by Cisco - WUSB600N Support
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2009
That didn't work, I'm wondering if anyone else is having trouble doing this too?
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2009
Here's another way to try:
Open regedit. Click your way to and then on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class
Then hit ctrl+f, type "network address" without the quotation marks.
This should bring you to your adapter key. Mine is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0007\Ndi\params\NetworkAddress for reference, but yours may be different.
In the right pane should now be a string value called "default" with a value of 000000000000. If not, create it and then change the 000000000000 to what you want instead.
Reset the network card adapter by disable and enable the card from windows Network Connections control panel or device manager.
Use IpConfig /all windows command to verify the new network card MAC address.

The vast majority of Herbalife's US distributors receive no compensation from the company, according to new data from the Michael Johnson-led company.
The figures on Herbalife's website yesterday show that 88 percent of its 493,862 distributors receive no gross payments from the nutritional supplements company.
A small fraction of distributors with sales recruits — 1.4 percent — gross more than $50,000 a year. A little more than 8 percent of that group gets more than $5,000.
The greater disclosure by Herbalife, which is under attack by hedge fund activist Bill Ackman for being a pyramid scheme, sheds some light on its operations — but hardly tells the whole picture.
The payments to distributors don't deduct expenses, which the company said "might include advertising or promotional expenses, product samples, training, rent, travel, telephone and Internet costs, and miscellaneous expenses." The hefty investment was one issue raised by former distributors who have complained to the Federal Trade Commission.
The numbers also don't reflect profits distributors could make by buying wholesale and then reselling the product. The extent of such retail profits is unknown.
Herbalife pointed out that 71 percent of distributors have "no downline," meaning they do not have sales recruits. Herbalife called them "single-level distributors."
To make any real money, distributors must recruit others, which allows them to get bonuses and royalties as part of "multilevel compensation on downline sales."
"Single-level distributors benefit from buying Herbalife products at a preferred price for their consumption and that of their families, and for many this is the only benefit they seek," Herbalife said.

Dear All,
Hope you are all well and having a fabulous Friday!
Earlier in the year to celebrate the release of The Great Gatsby movie, an adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, we thought wouldn't it be fabulous to create a Gatsby themed styled shoot based on our concept of 'What If Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby Got Married?, how would their special day look and feel? The shoot is our answer to this question, culminating in us producing a stunning bridal styled shoot exuding elegance, opulence, glamour and style in every possible way.
With the concept in place, mood boards completed we began to see the shoot coming to life, which filled us with immense excitement, similar to when we are planning wedding and events – the initial stages seeing it take shape before our eyes is wonderful. As with our events it was key for every single detail to be absolutely amazing, with this in mind we selected an exceptional team of vendors to collaborate with. And, oh my what great fun we had picking the various items from the dresses, accessories, crockery, etc. along with planning the decor in particular visiting the treasure trove that is the showroom for Venue Stylist and also home for their sister company Rock My Vintage Dress who supplied the gorgeous authentic vintage bridal wear, accessories and brooch bouquets.
We choose Down Hall to stage the shoot, a historic luxury Country House, and Hotel situated in the breathtaking Hertfordshire/Essex countryside, to provide an exquisite backdrop for Daisy and Jay's special day. One of the main reasons for selecting Down Hall, was because it has so many perfect settings for us to choose from.
Finally, we picked our models the beautiful Sally to play Daisy and handsome Ernest to play Gatsby.
The shoot features an array of gorgeous details like the Daisy inspired cake by Elizabeth's Cake Emporium, vintage Roll Royce car Gabriella from Lord Cars, exquisite vintage dresses and accesories and much more!
Without further ado we are delighted to present to you all our take on Daisy and Jay's wedding wonderfully captured by Andy Griffin
Here is also the behind the scenes film filmed by Deneemotion
Our shoot has been featured on the highly acclaimed award winning inspirational wedding blog Love My Dress on the very day Baz Luhrmann's version of The Great Gatsby was released earlier this year.

Neuron-recording nanowires could help screen drugs for neurological diseases
April 18, 2017
A research team* led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed nanowire technology that can non-destructively record the electrical activity of neurons in fine detail.
The new technology, published April 10, 2017 in Nano Letters, could one day serve as a platform to screen drugs for neurological diseases and help researchers better understand how single cells communicate in large neuronal networks.

Arizona wins national title with 4-1 win
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Arizona coach Andy Lopez thought he had the makings of a national championship team four years ago.
Better late than never.
Arizona ended South Carolina's two-year run of dominance at the College World Series with a 4-1 victory on Monday night, delivering the long-awaited national title to the coach who took over Arizona's downtrodden program 11 years ago.
Brandon Dixon's tie-breaking double started a three-run ninth inning for Arizona, and the Wildcats (48-17) won their first title since 1986.

Twins top White Sox 4-1 in Youkilis debut
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Francisco Liriano faced runners at the corners with only one out in the seventh.
This was precisely the type of situation where he's faltered so many times before, but Twins manager Ron Gardenhire didn't budge.
"I just have a lot of confidence in him," Gardenhire said.
Liriano deftly navigated his way out of the jam while spoiling Kevin Youkilis' first game with Chicago, pitching a season-high seven innings to lead the Twins to a 4-1 victory over the White Sox on Monday night.
"I'm more relaxed. I'm not trying to make a perfect pitch," Liriano said. "I'm not worried about the runners like I was before."

Around The Farm – Chris' TakeOctober 7, 2012, by
I know Dave wrote an Around the Farm today but as my ego demands it from time to time I wanted to share my thoughts from the Whale win last night as well. Sometimes, a variety of opinions suggest different things. (p.s. I hadn't yet read Dave's write up as I wrote this)
As the Whale managed to beat the Flyers affiliate Phantoms 3-1 last night there was plenty of positives to take out of the game from both a Whale and a Rangers perspective. Here are a few thoughts should excite Rangers fans going forward;
- Chris Kreider just gets it. Perhaps the most exciting part of Kreider is that he knows how to use his physical tools to the absolute maximum. He's intelligent to boot and if he can put it all together, coupled with experience, then look out. Kreider regularly blew past opposition using his speed, used his body to win physical battles practically every shift and even gets 'The Rangers way', trying to play defensively and blocking shots. There's very little, if anything at this stage, not to like.
- I tweeted last night about the Rangers ability to find undrafted gems. Kyle Jean seems to be another, although it's too early to get too excited. He has size, seems to use it well and appears comfortable on the puck.
- One of the reasons the Red Wings are/were a perennial NHL contender is the depth right through the organisation. These days the Rangers have this. Not just with draft prospects but guys like Kris Newbury and Chad Kolarik. Neither may be able to stick long term in the NHL but they are examples of quality AHL'ers who do have NHL ability. Whether they provide veteran leadership for the Whale or are needed as a call-up, both can do a job wherever they find themselves.
- Jason Missiaen's impressive display won't go unrewarded. If the giant goalie can find some consistency to match his incredible Pekka Rinne like size then the Rangers may have a legitimate prospect to work with – another by the way, that was a free agent signee. Missiaen played excellent positionally, stayed within himself and was quick to react to any rebounds that he did give up. The Rangers still need to draft a goalie sooner or later but if Missiaen (or Talbot or Stajcer for that matter) can develop this year it will reduce the anxiety Rangers fans suffer every time the Zak Rinaldo's of this world crash Lundqvist's net.
- My major concern, despite a few players missing from last night, is the Rangers lack of depth on the blueline in the event of further injury at the NHL level. Throughout last night no one on the back end for the Whale inspired much confidence and if he can get in the line up and be an impact player at the AHL level, we may yet see Matt Gilroy in Rangers blue again. Dylan McIlrath can't get fit quickly enough in my opinion.
- I really like Andrew Yogan as a prospect. Big, willing to use his body, plenty of talent to go with it. He has a chance to stake a claim over the next few weeks.
- My three Whale Stars: 1) Jason Missiaen 2) Chris Kreider 3) Andrew Yogan
Overall there was plenty to be happy with for the Whale and the Rangers last night and with team management in attendance (very exclusive seats it seems – just 17 people watched the game) plenty of players will have put down a marker. When you think the likes of Gilroy, Christian Thomas, Marek Hrivik and Ryan Bourque didn't play – against a team featuring genuinely elite NHL talent in the form of Brayden Schenn and Sean Couturier – it certainly bodes well.

Thank you for this nice write up, and keeping us hockey hungry fans informed.
There are some very nice players in the system, and we can sure look forward to a bright future. You failed to mention JT Miller, and Kyle Jean, who has size, but needs more muscle on his frame, both of whom will pass Chris Thomas in the pecking order. I hope these kids do take advantage of these playing days, and continue to advance steadily.
@Walt, Chris
My remark was not meant to be critical, just mentioning other potential future Ranger players who would fit right. Talking of J T Miller, he scored again yesterday, and the Kreider kid had a hat trick.
When the hell is this work stoppage-lock out going to end?

Some seniors take up tennis to stay active. Some take up a volunteer job or new hobby.
The United Flying Octogenarians? They take off.
This flock of 1,200 private and recreational pilots are all 80-plus and older. Most have been airborne for at least 60 years. That feat has earned them a Claude Pepper Memorial Award, winning in the "Active Living" category.
For the past consecutive 19 years, the awards have been given to South Florida educators, legislators, corporations and seniors by United HomeCare, a Miami-based nonprofit home health and community care agency. They are named for the late Florida congressman Claude Pepper, a champion for the elderly and disabled during his 60-year career.
United CEO and president Jose R. Fox was astonished when he heard some among this year's nominees were still flying in their 80s and beyond.
"You hear that they are still flying and you say, 'Oh my gosh,'" said Fox. "That's the message we want to send with this award: No matter your age, you still can enjoy life and contribute to society."
United selects the candidates and gives awards in eight categories to those who have made significant contributions to the welfare of seniors and the disabled.
Eight UFOs, as members of the United Flying Octogenarians affectionately call themselves, from across South Florida picked up a glass trophy at a ceremony at Miami's Jungle Island last month. While the organization has members worldwide, many are local retirees.

Proposed modifications to Yell price control
Competition Commission notice (36 pages, PDF) of proposed remedies arising from its investigation under the Enterprise Act 2002 of Yell's classified directory advertising business, and its findings that there were market features which prevented, restricted or distorted competition.
The only remedy proposed is a continuation of the price control on Yell's advertising rates. The Commission proposes to replace the current RPI-6 control on a basket of prices with a RPI+0 control on individual product prices (from 2008), which it considers to lead to prices that "would be broadly consistent with the outcome of a well-functioning market". The evidence related to productivity improvements and profitability is largely redacted out of the published document.

RAHWAY — The Rahway Police Department, in conjunction with the Rahway Office of Emergency Management, is currently in the process of creating a Flood Response Team. This specialized response team will be comprised of professional first responders and lay people from the Rahway Community.
The team will be utilized and activated during severe weather events. There will be a prerequisite for entry on the team by lay persons. All civilian members will have to complete the Community Response Team Training program (CERT) in order to eligible for the team.
The Rahway Police Department will be conducting a CERT training program beginning on March 7. The CERT program is designed to train and set up communications between first responders and the community to save lives following a major disaster. There will be eight sessions (20 hours) consisting of the following topics: Disaster Preparedness, Disaster Fire Suppression, Disaster Medical Operations Part 1, Disaster Medical Operations Part 2, Light Search & Rescue Operations, Disaster Psychology & Team Organization, and Terrorism. There will also be a final practical exercise held at the Union County Fire Academy in Linden.
The program runs for eight weeks and will be held on Wednesday nights from 6:30-9 p.m. For more information on the CERT Program or the Flood Response Team, call Detective William Eicholz at 1-732-827-2079 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

I am in Calangute in the state of Goa.
This area of the Konkan Coast is famous amongst Westerners for its hippie past, beach parties and in Europe for its all-inclusive vacation packages. It is presently the low season of foreign travelling but summer vacation time for Indians. The beach here is full of families visibly from all over the country, few of them catching sun anywhere else but in the water. I happily joined them all yesterday afternoon and even got some good body-surfing done on the metre-and-a-half waves.
In between bouts of sea, I helped some young guys from Mumbai get there car out of the sand and joined them for a Kingfisher Strong beer in the shade after (not the guys in the photos). They were all well-off but notably eager to work and make their own fortunes; real ones, not like "the Indians who keep their money abroad in Swiss bank accounts".
Having goods friends is always more important than having the girls. Here we value having close friends
I had originally planned to stay here only one day but I developed some sort of food poisoning overnight and will catch the bus on Friday. I am fast recovering. I blame some fruit I ate last night before going to sleep.
I did not have the most comfortable or fairly-priced of bus rides down to Goa but thankfully my sleeper bed mate was a cool guy named Kalpesh, a young electronics and telecommunications engineer from Gujarat.
Installing networks in the field for his company has allowed him to travel to almost every corner of the country. I peppered him with questions about every state and on his own life of course, and then he told me about one of his most interesting projects which had involved setting up a distance teaching infrastructure in Kashmir. He had supervised installation of the system in every single last village of the state. A live feed of a professor would be sent and captured to all units via a microwave dish of the type used for HD television transmission in Canada, and in order for students to still be able to ask questions and interact with their teacher, a secondary outgoing transmission line would be setup over dial-up or ADSL internet connections allowing students to make their queries in writing, by e-mail for example. This allows even the most far-off of students to be exposed to a centralized high level of teaching through two-way communication. The same system has since been implemented in Orissa State as well.
It is starting to feel very real to be on the other side of the world.
Mumbai was a fantastic introduction to the diversity, rhythm, environment and urban culture of India. "Mumbai is the New York of India" I heard more than once and it is true that the city has a very cosmopolitan atmosphere once you get past the trash, the cars, the din, the crowds, the animals, the smells, and this happens rather enchantingly fast.
On Sunday, I walked in the near 40 Celsius temperature along the entire south-eastern seawall to Malabar Hill to catch some hot sun, see this famously posh area of the city and make it to Baganga, a pool of freshwater water near the tip of the peninsula in the middle of which Lord Ram placed a wooden post to mark the centre of the newly-created world. It is an important Hindu pilgrimage site with people coming from all over to bathe, a beautiful site to arrive at after the traffic heavy ascent, an oasis as my guide book says.
Of course you are sticky, this is sticky weather!
I was told by a shop owner once I continued my walk up the hill. That night, I attended the final evening of my friend and first college roommate Yasir's wedding to his wife Asia. Nearly 1,000 people made it out to the Kurla Complex in Bandra East for a chance to congratulate the newlyweds and enjoy a delicious convivial dinner composed of a myriad grilled meats, as typical for Muslim-Indian cuisine, I was told. I stood out as one of the only westerners there, but Yasir's family quickly took me in and introduced me to their own. I felt very privileged to be there and enjoyed myself a lot, thank you!
Quickly, because I must set a concise precedent to have you come back!
I spent Monday on a Bollywood set as an extra involved in the shooting of a commercial for a new phone. It was really interesting to participate and also meet people from an entirely different separate class of people in Mumbai. It is quite frequent for westerners to be recruited for this type of work in the the area where I was staying (historic Colaba).
Tuesday I visited Laxmi Hindu temple and the famous Haji-Ali mosque out in the middle of the sea before catching my night bus to Goa. That morning I woke up early to take photographs at Sassoon Dock as fish were being unloaded for sale. I accidentally tripped on a sleeping dog in the dark at the Gate of India that morning. He hopped up quickly and barked over a friend who started approaching as well with typical "who are you, what do you want?!" barking. I kept my ground and raised my arm in a gesture to make it go away and five seconds later, it lowered its bark and started wagging its tail five seconds later. A hairy moment though.
My best quote so far comes from a new friend, Partno, who is pastry chef at a top restaurant in Colaba. We were watching mangoes being collected from an enormous tree, when I commented that it was amazing that a firm sour green mango has everything inside it to become a soft incredibly sweet and perfumed one later. He agreed and added that so do people, and Stephen Hawking is an incredible product of that human potential. In fact,
I am sure that if Stephen Hawking should make a dessert, it would be excellent as well!
I am continually amazed by the strong culture of India, of the subcontinent, of a massive developing country with endlessly deep diversity. Everyone seems very knowledgeable about India too. The figure of 1.2 billion inhabitants aside, this collective bond is a force to be harnessed and reckoned with.
Stay tuned for more news from the south in the next update!

Digital Reconstruction of Shetland Settlement Jarlshof in Scotland
In 1897, a series of severe storms washed away parts of the Scottish coastline on Shetland, exposing the over 4,000 year-old remains of a settlement: Jarlshof.
Recently, a team led by Kieran Baxter created a digital reconstruction of the site's various occupation periods–from its earliest dwelling in 2700 BCE through the Bronze Age and Iron Age. You can see the Viking settlement beginning in 1000 CE as well as a Medieval farm (1300 CE) as well as a laird's house (ca. 1600 CE). This project is an excellent example of the way that archaeologists can use digital reconstruction to understand and demonstrate how multi-period sites change over time.
Read more about the project in Baxter's article in Internet Archaeology online journal Issue 36.
