Thank you for your interest in private lessons. Private lessons can be structured in three different ways. You know how you learn best so you can choose one of the options below based on what meets your needs:
1. Your Way – If you know the areas you are struggling with the most, you can come ready with questions and I'll answer them as we go. It can be all question/answer or shooting as well. Whatever you prefer! This works best if you are already familiar with manual shooting.
2. Manual shooting 101 – This is like a mini workshop. I'll give you all the basics to shoot in manual mode and you'll get to practice and ask any questions you may have.
3. Critique and Improve – I can look over your portfolio, critique it and together identify areas you feel are your current obstacles and then work on those areas.
*Long Distance Photogs* – Any of these sessions are also available over Skype. Private sessions are $250 for 2 hours or $300 for 3 hours.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you!

MARGARET A. MUELLER v. ISIDORE TEPLER et al., SC 18939
Judicial District of Stamford-Norwalk
Same Sex Marriage; Civil Union; Whether Same Sex Partner can Recover for Loss of Consortium Where she Claims she Would Have Been Married at the Time of the Injury had the Law Allowed. Margaret Mueller brought this action seeking to recover for medical malpractice, and her same sex domestic partner, Charlotte Stacey, asserted claims for loss of consortium. The defendants moved to strike Stacey's claims, arguing that Stacey could not recover for loss of consortium because the plaintiffs had not entered into a legal civil union or marriage prior to or during the dates of the alleged negligent acts. The trial court granted the motion to strike, ruling that one who is not married or in a civil union at the time of the wrong cannot bring a loss of consortium claim, and rendered judgment for the defendants against Stacey. Stacey appealed, and the Appellate Court (132 Conn. App. 742) affirmed the judgment, noting that our Supreme Court has previously ruled that a claim for loss of spousal consortium cannot be maintained by one who was not married to the victim at the time the tort occurred. The Appellate Court rejected Stacey's claim that that precedent should not apply here because, while she was not married to Mueller before the defendants' negligent actions occurred, she and Mueller would have formalized their relationship if it were not for the unconstitutional deprivation of their right to do so under state law as it existed at that time. The court found that that argument failed because Stacey did not allege that fact in the complaint. It determined that, while Stacey pleaded that she was in a stable relationship with Mueller, lived with her for many years, supported her financially and entered into a civil union with her after the tortious conduct had occurred, she never alleged that the couple would have formalized their relationship before the defendants' negligent acts ceased. The Supreme Court granted Stacey's petition for certification to appeal, and will decide whether the Appellate Court properly (1) affirmed the ruling granting the motion to strike based on grounds distinct from those that the trial court considered in granting the motion and (2) concluded that Stacey was not entitled to bring a loss of consortium claim where she was not married to her domestic partner at the time of the partner's injury because neither civil unions nor same sex marriages were recognized at that time.

For Miesha Tate, just defeating Ronda Rousey at UFC 168 won't be enough.
Tate, who lost via submission to Rousey while both were competing in Strikeforce for the bantamweight title, will meet on December 28 for the UFC belt in Las Vegas.
"I want to finish this fight," said Tate, during a recent conference call. "I think that it's one thing we can probably agree on. I'm sure she feels the same way.
"That's how I know it's going to be an amazing fight."
Tate (13-4) has posted a 1-1 mark since falling to Rousey in 2012, but was named as a replacement for Cat Zingano on the recent season of The Ultimate Fighter opposite the champion. She lost to Zingano earlier this year via third round TKO.
The former Strikeforce champion stated that all she has thought about is Rousey, adding, "every day that I go into my training, I know that we're both fighting for that same common interest. We want to beat the hell out of each other. We want to finish the fight; we don't want a decision.
"I don't want a decision. I'm motivated."

September 02, 2014 16:14 ET
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Sep 2, 2014) - Atlantic Records group Switchfoot has announced the release of a new EP, "THE EDGE OF THE EARTH: UNRELEASED SONGS FROM THE FILM 'FADING WEST.'" The 7-track EP -- which features previously unavailable material not included on the GRAMMY® Award-winning band's chart-topping "FADING WEST" (see tracklisting below) -- arrives on the iTunes Store and all leading digital retailers on September 9.
"THE EDGE OF THE EARTH: UNRELEASED SONGS FROM THE FILM 'FADING WEST'" will be available just in time for Palladia's world television premiere of Switchfoot's first feature film, 2013's acclaimed Fading West, set for Saturday, October 4th (check local listings). Furthermore, an exclusive online presentation of Fading West will stream Wednesday, September 10th at noon Pacific via The Inertia: Surfing's Definitive Community. The film will then be available for streaming on the site for the following 24 hours. For complete details, please see www.theinertia.com.
Equal parts rock doc, pan-cultural travelogue, and surf film, Fading West follows Switchfoot during their hugely successful 2012 World Tour, traveling the globe in search of musical inspiration and the perfect wave. Directed by Matt Katsolis, the film further charts the creation of what ultimately became the San Diego-based band's ninth studio album, "FADING WEST." Packed with jubilant live footage, exclusive interviews, and stunning locales, Fading West provides an intimate and unprecedented look at Switchfoot at home and on stage, in the studio and out on the waves.
Fading West is now available to stream via Netflix, as well as across all leading US Video On Demand platforms including iTunes, Amazon, Instant Video, Cable Movies on Demand, Google Play, Xbox Video, Sony PlayStation, CinemaNow, and VUDU with digital entertainment curator, FilmBuff. In addition, Fading West is available for instant streaming and DRM-Free HD download directly via Switchfoot's own fadingwest.switchfoot.com.
"FADING WEST" made a spectacular top 10 debut on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 while also arriving at #1 atop Billboard's "Top Alternative Albums." "When We Come Alive," the latest single from "FADING WEST," is currently ascending at Hot AC radio outlets nationwide; the track's companion video will premiere next week.
"FADING WEST" sees Switchfoot infusing a stunning array of new sounds and influences into their trademark brand of bold rock 'n' roll. Songs like "Love Alone Is Worth The Fight" and the top 15 Alternative radio smash, "Who We Are," are energized by inventive rhythms and daring electronics while still bearing the powerful guitars, anthemic harmonies, and hopeful messages that have long marked Switchfoot as one of the most enduring and empathic bands of the modern era.
Long hailed as an electrifying live act, Switchfoot has just resumed its massively popular "Fading West Tour," with US dates now scheduled through November (see itinerary below). The trek includes both headline shows as well as appearances at such major festivals as Tempe, Arizona's Summer Ends Music Festival v.1 on Saturday, September 27th and Las Vegas' Life is Beautiful Festival on Friday, October 24th. For regularly updated details and ticket information, please visit www.switchfoot.com/c/tourdates.
Switchfoot is without question among the most compelling and globally successful bands in contemporary rock. With total worldwide sales fast approaching 6 million, albums like 2003's 2x RIAA platinum certified breakthrough, "THE BEAUTIFUL LETDOWN," and 2009's GRAMMY®-winning "HELLO HURRICANE" -- not to mention a run of multi-format rock radio hits that includes "Meant To Live," "Stars," "Mess of Me," "The Sound (John M. Perkins' Blues)," and "Dark Horses" -- have earned the band a truly international fan following and widespread acclaim for crafting uplifting and emotionally intelligent rock 'n' roll. What's more, Switchfoot is a hard touring live powerhouse, traveling nearly non-stop with visits to five continents in the last two years alone. Every year the band take a break from their relentless touring schedule to host the famed Switchfoot Bro-Am Surf Contest, an annual event that has raised more than $1,150,000 for San Diego-based children's charities since its 2005 inception.
Switchfoot: Jon Foreman (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) * Tim Foreman (bass) * Chad Butler (drums) * Jerome Fontamillas (keyboards, rhythm guitar) * Drew Shirley (lead guitar).

WOW, February was a tough month! 4 major snowstorms dumping about 7 FEET of snow. Let's hope that is the end of it!
These snowbanks will be here for quite a while! my poor doggie has all but given up trying to go outside! To give you some perspective, in the background, behind the gigantic snow bank you can see my second floor windows!
But, moving on, as February ends it is time to review my February goals and see how I did. As you may recall, this year I am setting monthly goals or resolutions rather than making a big list of New Year's Resolutions so that I can actually tackle them one by one. Hopefully the good habits I'm forming (and bad ones I'm breaking) carry over to future months and by the end of the year I will have a list of positive habits I've developed and negative habits I've broken.
So far in 2015, my goals have been:
January Goals:
- Drink 5, 12 oz glasses of water daily — I believe I've achieved this at least 80% of the time; I need to keep working on this).
- Stop Procrastinating! — I am doing good with this one, getting to things right away rather than leaving them "for later"
February Goals:
- Go to the gym 3x per week — DONE! I did it! There was a week or two when I didn't' think I'd get my 3 times in, and I wanted to say, "shoveling counts"! But I did get my weight training in, and I really enjoyed it and even better, greatly improved my work load (weight x reps x sets).
- No Extra Spending — Also done! While I did spend a lot of money (on a planned vacation, and on excess snow removal), I didn't spend frivolously, I cut down on lattes, didn't buy and clothes or shoes and managed to stay away from stores in general (perhaps the excess snow helped here!)
So now the trick is to continue with these resolutions and add in some for March. I am going to amend the gym 3x/week as I need to start adding back in some running and yoga, and so I am going to resolve to exercise 4-5 times per week and include running, yoga and weight training.
March Goals:
- Positive Habit: Blog 3x per week. I actually have 2 blogs, this one and my professional blog which focuses on communication, marketing and social media. Feel free to check it out! My goal is to post twice a week here and once a week on the other. Since it is already Friday and I have only written this post, you will be hearing from me again soon!
- Negative Habit: Be Less Judgmental, or put more positively, Be More Open Minded to new things, new ideas, new people, new ways of doing things, etc.! I really like this quote from Walt Witman and will strive to live by it!


text: College is a time of experimentation and self-discovery, and things were no different for Amber. After all, that's where she first picked up her fondness for weaving––an affection that has blossomed to span a deep love for everything soft and fiber related. And she approaches things a little differently than most seasoned weavers, too. Traditionally, weavers tend to count ends and follow patterns––Amber does none of these things. She tosses caution to the wind and crafts her one-of-a-kind scarves without patterns or plans, deftly layering and mixing media as she goes, simply by feel.

- Motor Vehicle Titling & Registration
Motor Vehicle Office
The Summit County Clerk & Recorder's Office issues motor vehicle license plates, titles and vehicle registrations. Our office does not provide driver licenses.
Please note that the motor vehicle office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Colorado Driver Services
The Colorado Department of Revenue provides driver services, including driver's licenses, identification cards, driving records and driving tests. In Summit County, their offices are located at 0037 Peak One Dr., Frisco, CO, 80443.
Save A Trip & Renew Online
Although we enjoying seeing our customers, you can save yourself the trip to the DMV and renew on time through the Online Renewal Site through the Colorado Department of Revenue. Heads up: there is an additional convenience charge for all card transactions - but it saves a trip to our office and we'll mail you your tags and updated registration directly. The online system will not allow updates to addresses, and will not allow you to renew if you need to show proof of Colorado insurance. Come in and see us at 208 East Lincoln Avenue in Breckenridge and we'll help you in person.
We Do Not Issue Drivers Licenses
The same goes for State-Issued IDs, Motor Vehicle Driving Records or Driving Test Appointments. Those services are provided locally by the Colorado Driver License Office in Frisco. Call their office at (970) 668-5015 or (303) 205-5600.
How Can We Help You?
Summit County Motor Vehicle staff serves our community with a strong desire to make registering your vehicles as easy as possible. We are open Mondays-Fridays from 8:30am-4:30pm, closed on all major holidays. Mid-day is our busiest time, we recommend visiting our office in the morning or afternoon to reduce the amount of wait time. Our office accepts cash, checks, debit or credit cards. Heads up: there is an additional convenience charge through the card processing vendor for all debit and credit card transactions.
Plan Ahead: Holiday Closures
2018 County Office Closures/Observed Holidays: (closure is for the entire day unless noted)
Memorial Day - Monday, May 28

Thanksgiving Day - Thursday, November 22 (Also closed the following day, Friday, November 23)
Christmas Eve - Monday, December 24 (Open 8am-12pm, closed in afternoon)
Christmas Day - Tuesday, December 25
Print Forms Ahead of Time
In our mountain community, a good share of the population doesn't receive mail to residences. You'll need to provide our office with a physical and mailing address, and keep it up to date. This will ensure you receive your renewal notice each year. It's acceptable to have a mailing address outside of Summit County, or Colorado, but all motor vehicles registered in Summit County must have a physical address within the County. Changing your address with the Department of License does not automatically update our office's records. Secure and Verifiable ID is required by law to make any changes on Motor Vehicle records.
Proof of COLORADO Insurance & ID RequiredIt is compulsory in Colorado to provide proof of Colorado insurance when first registering, and sometimes you'll need to show it when renewing your vehicle's registration (especially if your insurance lapsed, changed, or if there is a VIN discrepancy). It's a good rule of thumb to always bring it with you. You will always need to furnish a form of Secure & Verifiable ID to conduct Motor Vehicle business in our office. If your name isn't on the title to the vehicle and you'd like to make a change/discuss anything regarding the vehicle, a notarized, original (cannot be a copy) Power of Attorney from the registered owner is required.
I Bought A Car...Now What?
Each situation is unique. Whether you purchased a vehicle from a dealer or an individual, in Colorado or out of state, there is going to be paperwork required to appropriately change the title/get the vehicle registered. If you purchased from a dealer, their title clerks should assist you with the process and help you understand what to expect. Be sure they have the correct mailing address on file for you, and for our office - it's the simplest way to prevent a delay in processing your important paperwork. If you purchased from an individual, be sure (at the very least) that the title is signed over to you by the person(s) named on the front side of the title. In Colorado, license plates belong to the registrant, not the vehicle, so don't be surprised if the seller doesn't give you their license plates with the vehicle. If you paid cash for the vehicle, the dealer will likely send the paperwork directly to you, usually by certified mail. Bring those documents to title your vehicle and proof of Colorado insurance to register your vehicle. If vehicle is financed or leased, Colorado dealers will forward paperwork directly to the Motor Vehicle Division (as long as you gave them a Summit County physical address), and you will be mailed a Title Complete Notice from this office when your paperwork is ready to go. As far as cost goes - it's never a flat fee, and the cost is based on a formula using taxable value and weight to calculate fees for each vehicle. Newer, heavier vehicles are always going to be more expensive to register than smaller, older vehicles.

I'm sorry. Today, I was supposed to be announcing the winner of the Hot Mess/Earth Day 2013 Giveaway. While I'll be contacting the winner privately today, the announcement has been put off till tomorrow, due to CISPA's passing in the Senate last week.
For more information on the idea of a general blackout, consider reading this PC Mag article.
Last year, it was SOPA and PIPA that threatened freedoms affecting web communications.
This year, CISPA has reared its head. This legislation has already passed a vote in the Senate last week.
In the simplest terms, CISPA will make it legal for the federal government to access information about what you do online without a warrant.
If you're a US citizen, please contact your representative in congress and let them know you want them to vote CISPA down.
And just in case that doesn't work, contact President Obama and let him know that even if the bill passes through congress, you expect him to veto it and protect our privacy and security.
For those of you waiting on the Earth Day Giveaway results – they'll be up first thing on the 23rd. Thank you for your patience.

Dexpot 1.5 The utility for virtual desktops
Its fantastic and worth more than a try.
I would have never imagined that I can find such a powerful multi desktop app.
- Favorably integrated with Windows 7.
- Fully customizable.
- Nice performance.
- Almost a fully featured multi desktop app.
- Free of charge for private use
- Compatible with Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 (incl. x64).
- I could not find any way to move a window from a desktop to other in full screen desktop mode like Mac OS X Leopard (although it has this functionality in desktop preview mode which is a bit demanding).
However for the best situation do customize it and enjoy it.. Its straight forward.
With thanks to Johngolts useful post:

Moving a window between desktops in Dexpot
The only failure of Dexpot is the lack of easy drag and drop functionality for moving a window from a desktop to others unlike Mac OS X in which you can easily drag your window, move and drop it anywhere in to another desktop you want. Therefore you have to do it in more steps and clicks.
However, this is ignorable and it doesnt diminish worthiness of Dexpot in Windows OS.

As the threat of many global crises including bio-terrorism, water quality concerns and potential pandemics continue to emerge and evolve. The demand for well-educated, passionate public health professionals is skyrocketing. As a recent graduate with a master's in public health, you may be wondering where your skills fall within the vast spectrum of public health professions? How to land that highly sought after first position? Learn about a few of the most popular careers in public health, their future growth potential compared to other positions and a few pointers on how to secure your first post-graduate job.
Popular Careers in Public Health
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the overall growth rate for several public health positions is on the rise. The BLS believes the continued demand for public health managers and employees is due in large part to several technological advances in the field of medicine, and the need to cope with existent and emergent threats. Here are a few of the hottest careers in public health, and their individual outlooks for the future:
Social Worker The majority of social workers are either employed as clinical social workers or individuals that treat and diagnose mental and behavioral issues or a direct service social worker those who help individuals cope with and solve problems. Nearly all direct-service and clinical social work positions require a master's degree. The BLS Job Outlook for social workers is very favorable, and the field is expected to grow by 25 percent over the next 10 years.
Epidemiologist One of the most exciting, albeit harrowing, positions in the public health sector is epidemiology. These disease cowboys work to isolate the cause of an illness and ensure it doesn't spread. As an epidemiologist, your workplace is the field and you'll spend most of your time traveling to exotic and familiar locales. The majority of epidemiologists possess a Master's degree and employment is expected to rise by 24 percent over the next eight to 10 years.
Health Educators Effective public health initiatives are as much about prevention as the cure. As a health educator, you're charged with raising the public awareness on several health-related issues, from childhood obesity to HIV and AIDS. A Bachelor's degree is the only requirement for entry-level positions, although to advance, an individual should possess at least a Master's in Public Health. The expected job growth in this field is nearly 37 percent, which is well above the national average for most vocations.
Health Managers Medical and health service management is an extremely broad field that encompasses a variety of positions in public health. After earning your MPH, it's possible to secure a position in a psychiatric or substance abuse hospital, the insurance industry, as a scientific researcher or working as a manager at a small hospital or nursing home. Employment in the field is expected to grow and the median average salary for a health manager is nearly $100,000 a year, making it one of the top paying positions in public health.
Securing Your First Job
Once again, it cannot be stated enough that the field of public health is massive, and before you can even type the first line of your resume, it's crucial to determine which career path best suits your passions and expertise. After determining your long or short-term career goals, here are a few tips to help land that first position:
- Attend workshops and seminars at your local university's school of public health. This is an amazing way to learn about the hottest careers in the field, and network with your professors and other established professionals.
- Join a professional group. Depending on your concentration and career plans, there are a number of public health professional organizations. Use your new found connections to secure a job or at least get a few leads.
- Learn your potential employer's expectations. By far, before submitting your resume it's critical to learn the skills and attributes the employer is after. This is where all of those connections come in very handy. Speak to individuals currently employed with the company or organization and ask for a few pointers.
You've determined that earning an MPH is the best way to realize your career aspirations, but how do you fit schoolwork into your already packed schedule? If the drive is there, but your free time is limited, consider earning your MPH online. An online university provides you with the guidance, flexibility and tools necessary to succeed in the competitive field of public health.

Alka Seltzer and Factors that Affect Reaction Rates
Lesson 2 of 6
Objective: Students will be able to explain the factors that affect the rate of a reaction as evidenced by performing a lab activity.
Big Idea: Chemical reaction rates depend on various factors including stirring, temperature, surface area, and concentration.
In this lesson students have a chance to practice what they learned about reaction rates through performing a lab activity.
- This lesson covers the Next Generation Science and Engineering Performance Expectation 1-5: Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration on the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs. It does so because students are performing a lab to test the factors that affect reaction rates.
- This lesson aligns with several of the Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices including:
- 2 Developing and Using Models. It does so because students are modeling why reaction rates increase.
- 3: Designing and Carrying out Experiments. It does so because students are performing an experiment.
- 6: Constructing explanations: It does so because in the extension activity students are asked to make a claim and use evidence from an article and from their lab.
- This lesson aligns with the Next Generation Science and Engineering Crosscutting Concepts including:
- 1: Patterns. It does so because the pattern of reaction behavior can be studied and used to understand phenomenon.
- For this lesson each student group needs the following resources: warm water, room temperature water, a 25mL graduated cylinder, a film canister, 3 Alka Seltzer tables, a knife, and forceps.
To begin this lesson I go over the lab with students.
- To do this I first pass out the alka seltzer and rates lab paper.
- I then give students several minutes to read over the lab on their own.
- After 3-4 minutes I ask students the goal of the lab. I ask for volunteers and they let me know that it is to test the factors that affect reaction rates.
- I then go over what students will be doing for the prelab and have them spend several minutes doing the prelab on their own. This is a movie of me going over this with students.
- I then review safety with students by letting them know that they must wear the goggles at all times and to make sure to not point the film canisters at students because the tops will pop off vigorously. This is a video of me doing this with students.
- Finally I break students into cooperative groups and have them go up to their lab stations. For more information on how I use cooperative groups see my cooperative groups reflection.
- This is a picture of what a station looks like for the lab.

In this section of the lesson students are expected to perform the alka seltzer and rates lab.
When they get up to their stations they first finish their data tables, and then begin the lab activity. This is a movie showing one group of students performing one of their trials.
As students are working I walk around and check for several things...
- I make sure that they have their data tables complete BEFORE starting the lab.
- I make sure that they are recording observations as well as the time for the canister's top to pop off.
- I check that students are ALL wearing their goggles.
- I make sure that they understand that the first cylinder is their control; therefore, the one tha they should be comparing their other trials to. This movie shows me doing this with my students.
As students complete the lab I have them begin to work on the analysis questions. When all students are done with the lab and working on the analysis questions I have them pause so that we can work on the extension together.
Resources (3)
When most students have completed the lab I lead them in performing the extension activity. This is found on the last page of their alka seltzer and rates lab.
For this extension students read an article discussing how aspirin should be taken if someone is having a heart attack. Basically, it says that the aspirin should be chewed as that it gets into the bloodstream and works faster. The goal is for students to come up with a claim that the article gives similar results as their lab because they both show that by increasing surface area that reactions happen faster.
This is a movie of me going over this with one class.

When students complete their labs I have them turn them in and I grade them using the alka seltzer lab rubric.
Most of my students missed at least one point, and most forgot to revisit their predictions. These are several examples of some graded labs which show some of the common mistakes by students.
In this first example the student had an incorrect prediction for their prelab, did not refer back to their predictions in the analysis section #1, and did not really come up with a claim in regards to evidence from their lab in the extension.
In this second example the student did not refer back to their predictions when doing analysis part 1, and did not use evidence in the extension section.
In this third example the student did a good job but still did not refer back to their predictions in the first part of their analysis.
Finally in this fourth example the student also did a good job but did not refer back to their predictions int he first part of their analysis.
Because so many students forgot to go back to their predictions I feel that I need to do a better job of helping students with this next time. Therefore, I made some changes to the lab which I discuss in the reflection, Common Confusions with the Lab.

Friday Night Lights Wins Best Casting EmmyMatt Richenthal at . Comments
It may have been blanked from the major categories, but Friday Night Lights picked up an Emmy for best casting when the creative arts Emmy awards were bestowed Saturday night in Los Angeles.
Austin's Beth Sepko was honored for location casting, reports today's Austin American-Statesman, with Linda Lowy and John Brace both taking home Emmys for the show's primary casting.
This is nice, but ow a series can win best casting while no members of its cast receive individual Emmy nominations is beyond us. It makes zero sense.
Friday Night Lights' cast was universally snubbed.
Nevertheless, the Central Texas-filmed series, as it enters its sophomore season, should have received Emmy consideration for best drama series and several acting nods, but it got only two nominations, for casting and directing.
The Primetime Emmys will be handed out Sunday, September 16, with Friday Night Lights nominated for best directing in a drama series. Peter Berg, who adapted FNL for TV, and helmed the pilot, is up for the award.
For the best casting in a drama series award, Friday Night Lights beat Brothers & Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and The Tudors. Not bad for a show that earned high praise but low ratings its first season.

"My husband is always telling me what to do. How can I keep living with a person who tries to control everyone?" Gail was so frustrated she was almost in tears.
How often do you fume about someone's attempts to control you? In some relationships it happens way too often for comfort-especially in "co-dependent relationships" where both partners are in agreement that one partner's needs are more important than the needs of the other.
If someone else seems to control your life now
, try looking at the bigger picture.
锟?Did someone else manage to control you before?
锟?Have you had at least one person like this in your life for as long as you can remember?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, the real issue is to discover how you are cooperating in maintaining such an unproductive relationship-and to explore your options for changing.
Changing may be a lot easier than you think if you take it in baby steps.
WARNING: If you are in a relationship where you are being physically or emotionally threatened, this will help you change the way you think, but you must still take steps to insure your own safety. If you are in danger, your safety must be your first concern.
First practice changing the way you talk about your complaints-especially the way you talk to yourself about them. You must learn to stop seeing yourself as a victim.
Your goal here is to see yourself as a fully functional, mature individual who is participating in the discomfort of the relationship.
Since you are probably sure that the other person needs to change first, this may be a difficult task. Stick with it. You need to stop blaming anyone and change your attitude instead.
Notice how you and the controlling person have played out some agreements that you may have never recognized before. These examples may help. You probably won't like the restatement, but see if it rings true anyway.
锟?"My husband rules our house with an iron hand." This could turn into "I have agreed to be ruled by my husband in our marriage. I have done this by doing what he has told me to do (probably) since the beginning of our relationship. I have also taught our children to follow his instructions directly or by setting an example for them."
锟?"He makes all the decisions. He tells me what I will do." This could be:"I ask him for his guidance before I choose to do anything. When I want to do something on my own, I ask permission; then when he refuses, I do not do what I would like to do."
锟?"How can I learn to live with a person like this?" could become: "I choose to live with this man because he provides things for me that I want and need
, even though I sometimes resent the cost. I am afraid to stand up for what I want because I feel I'll risk losing the emotional and physical security he has provided for me all these years. I am also not sure I could make it on my own without him. I have very little confidence in my own ability to take care of myself and our children."
Each restatement is another building block to move to a position of responsibility.
You may feel very strange and unfamiliar with this new perspective, but the more often you focus on thinking this way, the more quickly you will reclaim your own power.

Finn was diagnosed with meningococcal disease when he was just 13 months old.
He had been unwell with flu-like symptoms for a day, but overnight, Finn got worse.
On the way to Brisbane that morning, Finn's mum, Sarah, noticed some spots on his forehead. She quickly checked his chest and back and found more blotches on his little body.
Sarah and Jason, Finn's dad, rushed him to their local hospital where the medical team started him on fluids and antibiotics. Half an hour later, little Finn was unrecognisable. A retrieval team arrived from our children's hospital and Finn was put in an induced coma for two weeks and taken to the paediatric intensive care unit.
The fight for his life began…
After 15 surgeries, including multiple amputations to all four limbs, scar management and ongoing rehabilitation, Finn is now walking on his prosthetic legs and gradually becoming more mobile. He is having a new set of prosthetics made to help the build-up of muscles and strength in his thighs, which will enable him to walk more easily and run around with his family and friends. Finn will also need more surgery on his right leg.
Finn's case is complex and will require ongoing treatment for many years. He has overcome so much and is now a happy, healthy and active little boy.

- 'SCREAM 4': Neve Campbell returns.
Fourth installments generally have to overcome the innate human affinity for threes — how many trilogies feel unfinished? — but the "Scream" movies made their bloody hay (and $420 million at the box office) by reminding you constantly of their iconoclasm. Hence "Scream 4" (tagline: "New decade, new rules") behaves itself as the most self-aware film even in this lineage of self-aware films, not only aware of itself as horror film, but aware of its awareness. It is, as one of the film's film nerds would say, quite meta.
Unfortunately it's also unaware of how dull this approach becomes. People who talk about themselves constantly are perceived as tone-deaf, and movies are no different. "Scream 4" never lets you forget that you're watching "Scream 4," in part because it keeps insisting on the redundancy of there even being a "Scream 4." At the end of two hours, you're inclined to agree.
Fans of the first three will recognize the old faces who continue to survive the murder sprees that presumably keep property values depressed in otherwise charming Woodsboro. Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell, back for more) has emerged from her repeated brushes with serial killers to publish a memoir, and her book tour brings her through her home town on the anniversary of the original killings (oh, not to make you feel geriatric: "Scream" came out in 1996). As bum luck has it, another copycat has decided to don the iconic Ghostface costume, make the obligatory threatening phone calls (using an app to mimic that familiar homicidal voice, reprised yet again by Roger Jackson) and butcher all the hottest teen-agers in town. Semi-capable lawman Dewey Riley and hard-charging TV reporter turned author Gale Weathers are married, tensely, and played again by real-life snippy couple David Arquette and Courteney Cox, as if the story needed to feel any more self-referential. A bunch of hot twentysomethings appear as hot teen-agers who one-by-one die screaming. The script even gives a few of them last names.
Weathers' books about the Woodsboro massacres launched a series of "Scream"-like film adaptations, called "Stab," now up to a seventh installment, so the townsfolk are navel-gazing horror experts by now, obsessed with the idea that the current killer is obsessed with the storyline of his own killings. Watching a film deconstruct itself almost minute-by-minute like this does, at least, become more bearable with slasher guru Wes Craven at the helm. Writer of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise and director of the "Scream" litter, among others, Craven knows the tropes like no one else: cat-and-mouse games in confined spaces, the menace of closed doors that must be opened, the primal brutality of knife murders. And gore, he adores. Craven goes easy on the blood like grandma goes easy on the gravy.
Even as the characters openly discuss which among them is likely to live and die according to the patterns of movie killings (spoiler alert: they pretty much all get hacked up like paper dolls), Craven needles your autonomic system with stereotypical orchestral swells, sudden reveals and a variety pack of gotcha moments. His approach here is that of a boxer who tells you the roundhouse is coming, twirls his right hand in a circle and then wallops you across the face with it, all while softening you up with jabs he never acknowledges. It's a clever strategy, in fact: Beckon savvy horror fans to overthink the plot, so as to lull them into ignoring the genre's subtler gimmicks. Maybe it would even work, if we hadn't seen this movie, more or less, three times already.

Assisting in refinance
Tom Gale
Lancaster Pollard recently had the pleasure of working with Eden Homes Group, a unique assisted living provider that was born of inspiration.
After her mother died at age 90, one of Eden Homes Group's owners lamented that she could not find the ideal care setting that she knew her mother would have desired. This would have been a facility that offered both attentive pampering and care as well as freedom of choice and independence.
Fortunately, when it came time to find a facility for her mother-in-law, the owner found a place that better fit her ideal notion of care. After joining forces with the owner/operator of that facility, as well as another business partner, the idea for Eden Homes Group was born.
Eden Homes Group currently operates six upscale AL and memory care facilities, four of which are located in Bethesda, MD. One of the factors that makes these facilities so unique is the fact that they are located seamlessly within residential neighborhoods and from the outside appear to be single family homes. However, each site was built with the intention of serving as an AL facility and includes all the necessary features to operate as such. Each group home houses eight residents and offers the attentive care of staff while emphasizing the residents' power to choose and retain independence.
Each of the four Bethesda facilities carries two loans—a bank loan and a small business administration (SBA) loan. When ownership was looking for funding to expand its business and build additional facilities, it realized its financial capacity to do so was limited by the debt derived from its eight outstanding loans. It sought a financial solution that would refinance and consolidate the eight loans and create the opportunity for Eden Homes Group to expand and pursue new construction projects.
Lancaster Pollard recommended a financial solution that would consolidate the eight loans under one new loan insured by the FHA Sec. 232/223(f) program. As the four separate homes all utilized shared services, were covered by the same insurance policies and effectively operated as one property, Lancaster Pollard was able to refinance the scattered sites under one loan.
The result was a $5.7 million loan that is nonrecourse and features a low interest rate and 35-year term. The refinance also results in significant annual debt service savings and approximately $150,000 for repairs and improvements such as new elevators and generators. The new financing structure improves Eden Homes Group's fiscal outlook and increases its borrowing capacity, allowing them to pursue additional financing to construct additional homes and expand their business. That will allow more residents in the future to enjoy the homelike setting and quality care Eden has to offer.
Tom Gale is a senior vice president with Lancaster Pollard.

Dodgers' Puig sits with strained shoulder
Los Angeles Dodgers phenom Yasiel Puig was a late scratch from Wednesday night's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks because of a strained right shoulder.
After warming up with the rest of the team, Puig took five swings in the batting cage and then walked off the field in frustration, according to MLB.com. He went in to the Dodgers' clubhouse and later emerged without his jersey. He returned to the clubhouse without doing any further baseball activities
"Yasiel was a little sore," manager Don Mattingly said. "I'm not sure what all that was from."
The Dodgers are not sure if Puig's shoulder strain is related to Tuesday's benches-clearing incident with the Diamondbacks.
In that game, Puig was hit in the nose by a 92 mph pitch by Arizona's Ian Kennedy in the sixth inning.
In the top of the seventh inning, Greinke hit Arizona catcher Miguel Montero in the back. When Greinke came to bat in the bottom of the seventh, Kennedy hit Greinke, sparking the brawl.
During the melee, Puig threw several punches and had to be restrained by teammates before he was ejected from the game.
In his first nine games, the 22-year-old Puig is hitting .471 with two doubles, four homers and 10 RBI.
The Dodgers are listing him as day-to-day.

Driven to succeed: serving residents and beating the competition through creative transportation choices
Driven to succeed: serving residents and beating the competition through creative transportation cho
"It would appear that the availability of transportation for shopping, doctor appointments and other [purposes] is becoming a key component in deciding which facility to choose," says Bob Anderson, director of commercial and retail sales for Midwest Transit Equipment of Kankakee, IL. He added that the ever-evolving and diverse needs of residents are largely driving that trend."The length of time that a person can stay in a hospital and/or rehab facility is getting shorter all the time. Therefore, there are residents who have significant mobility challenges that need to be able to get to appointments [and other destinations]."
Rethinking the modelThese days, seniors housing transportation is less geared toward getting residents from Point A to Point B and more toward helping them reach their destinations in comfort and style. Speed and dignity are major factors, too.
Increasingly, traditional handicap-accessible minivans and shuttle buses are sharing the lot with a fleet of other vehicles, each of which serves its own purpose and delivers in terms of both form and function."No question, transportation is one service that residents are really looking at closely these days—but it's the quality, reliability and accessibility of the transportation being provided that really matters most," stresses Glenn Brichacek, Ph.D., president and CEO of The New Admiral at the Lake, a continuing care retirement community currently under development in Chicago.
"You have to look at residents' current needs, while also anticipating how those needs will change in the future. It's about providing a service that, in some ways, is as diverse as the residents being served."For The New Admiral, diversity will come in the way of electric and hybrid cars (complete with electrical outlets in parking garages to keep them charged), a small bus and shuttle van, a town car, and even car-rental services for staff and more independent residents who occasionally require a personal vehicle to attend off-site events, run errands or visit family and friends.
A wider array of options is increasingly important, reasons Brichacek, as more couples move into seniors housing communities together—often with one senior still capable of traveling with limited or no assistance."Whether they can travel on their own or need someone to drive them to their destination, or a mix of both, it's important that we are able to keep them connected to what's important, but within their community and beyond," he says. "That can mean getting them to and from doctor appointments, dinner or the theater, or any other [destination]."
"Just because they move to a [seniors housing community] doesn't mean that they want to cut ties to all the things they did and enjoyed before. In fact, in some cases, they're moving to a particular community because of its accessibility to all of those things."Still, what works for one facility won't always work—or even be necessary—for another. Transportation requirements for more active CCRC or assisted living residents, for example, will typically differ greatly from those in skilled nursing. Demographics, too, largely factor into the equation.
"Every facility is different. A facility in a big city, for example, may have very different needs than one in a rural location," explains Steve Simmonds, vice president of Transport U, a Pittsburgh, PA-based senior transportation provider with service areas in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and parts of West Virginia. "And what was needed in one facility last month, or even last week or yesterday, may be different than what is needed today, so flexibility is key."Value options gain traction
But transportation diversity doesn't have to come at a hefty price. Many budget-conscious communities have abandoned the notion that they must own their own fleet, opting instead to either lease their vehicles or outsource the function altogether."This allows a facility to have a fixed operating expense, as opposed to capital on the their books," explains Anderson, noting that with the lease option, facilities can make a low monthly payment, ensure that their vehicle remains under warranty, and trade it in for a new model at the end of the term. "This way, a facility always has a nice-looking [vehicle] that is mechanically sound."
Facilities' interest in partnering with third-party transportation services providers is a trend that Simmonds says he is witnessing firsthand—including in Pennsylvania's Allegheny County, which boasts the largest 85-and-older population in the country.Since Transport U began operating in 2004, it has seen its seniors housing clients grow from "a handful" to 20—many of which outsource their entire transportation function to the service provider. Because facilities schedule their transportation service and pay only for the services provided, "it's a much less expensive option," Simmonds says.
To meet the growing demand, Transport U's fleet has grown from 15 vans to a mix of 38 vehicles, including 18 wheelchair-accessible minivans and six standard minivans, two luxury sedans, 10 full-size wheelchair-accessible vans, one 11-passenger wheelchair-accessible bus, and a 39-passenger bus. The array of predominantly handicap-accessible vehicles means residents can be picked up and dropped off more quickly and efficiently, often with far less fuel consumption, and improved comfort and dignity.Safety and reliability are also critical, Simmonds notes. Drivers provide "door-through-door service." They also under go extensive geriatric sensitivity training that includes being strapped in a wheelchair and transported, and donning cataract glasses to depict some of the impairments and concerns their passengers regularly face. Such training also helps drivers pinpoint changes in residents' conditions, which then can be conveyed back to the facility.
"Transportation is really an extension of the care plan," he says.Some facilities are willing to hand over the keys to their transportation program altogether and others are opting for a wider array of vehicles. Then there are still others that are looking to pare down their fleet.
Smaller fleets"From a parts and maintenance point of view, many facilities don't want multiple vehicles," notes Marc Klein, executive vice president of business development for The Vehicle Production Group LLC in Miami.
Instead, many are looking for nimble, smaller vehicles with easy access that can comfortably and conveniently transport as many different types of people as possible, including obese and handicapped residents, he says.This year, VPG introduced the MV-1, the first factory-direct mobility vehicle designed from the ground up for wheelchair accessibility. The vehicle, similar in size to a Cadillac Escalade, will enter production in the fourth quarter and retail for about $40,000.
Sometimes, though, convenience and accessibility trump luxury and comfort. For The Admiral at the Lake, easy access to public transportation and bike paths is as important the availability of traditional vehicles."We chose this location because we anticipate a number of residents will be moving in without a vehicle and some will be looking for easy access to the train or bus," Brichacek says.
The community will work with Chicago Transit Authority to offer bus and rail passes to residents, and discounted rates for staff."Keeping residents connected to their old and new neighborhoods, and helping employees get to and from our community, even in inclement weather, plays a direct role in resident and staff satisfaction—and that has a direct impact on quality of life," Brichacek says.

The PANTONE Basic Color pages are printed on a separate form from other pages in the Guide. As a result, they can be thought of as a separate press run and are subject to the normal variation in printing which occurs from run to run. Further, the colors in the body of the book are printed together with colors in the same family. In some cases, adjustments need to be made on press to maintain the "flow" of colors from light to dark on a particular page.
While we take careful measures to print the colors on the Basic Color pages as accurately as possible, we recommend that the color in the body of the book be considered the standard for the basic PANTONE Colors.

What are CNA's allowed to know? (HIPAA question) - page 3
Okay, I am curious if I am right or are other co-workers right. Are CNA's allowed to look in charts? I question this for two situations - one was a CNA who went to look in her grandmothers... Read More
Aug 6, '08Obviously, the scenario in the OP is a HIPAA violation for all the reasons already stated.
Now, if you're asking if CNA's in general are allowed to access the chart(for work related purposes), you might be better off checking your facility policy as this is something that seems to vary within facilities.
Sep 7, '08Does anyone know if aides are allowed to read pt. charts? At one place where I worked they were absolutely not allowed; however, at my present place of employment our DON and ADMINISTRATOR said that they have no problem with the aides reading the charts.
Sep 7, '08I guess it depends on the facility. Personally, I don't have an issue with aides reading a chart. They are doing direct care and can be affected by some things, in addition, it can be a great learning tool for them. If your facility has no issues with it, and the aides are not violating HIPPA compliance by telling others, I don't see an issue.
Sep 7, '08First off looking in a chart that is a family member or friend of a family member period is a hippa violation unless you need to know that specific info. Even me looking in my husbands chart is a hippa violation unless I"m his DPOA.
She could have been looking in chart for I&Os or something and that IS legal but looking for curiosity reasons even if you are caring for patient is a grey area. If they went in looking for soemthing specific then it would be ok, just for curiosity screams a violation IMO.
You did the right thing next time report them especially when they are looking thru friends/family members charts.
Sep 8, '08I agree with others who have stated it was a HIPPA violation to look at the chart of someone in who's care you are not directly involved in.
Let me give an example of what occured once. A male entered our nursing station. Stated he was dr so and so. Scanned our rack took out a chart, then proceeded with it to the doctors dictation room. It quickly came to our attention that this in fact was not a doctor involved in this patients care , but a relative. I walked calmly into that room. Respectfully reminded the DR that he was not allowed to look at the chart as he was not on consult, he gave me back the chart. I smiled and calmly walked out of the room. I did let our supervisor and DON know what had occurred and how it was handled. Enough said.
Sep 8, '08I don't think that example is anywhere close to looking at a patient's chart who you are caring for. I think that, in order to provide complete care, given the assumption that we are all under the understanding of HIPPA and patient privacy, its silly not to allow aides to see whats going on. If they were wandering off w/ charts or some crazy thing like that it would be an issue, but how is it not beneficial to the client if the person caring for him knows that he just got bad news and needs a little extra TLC in his care? If we're JUST doing physical work thats one thing, but this kinda feeds into the philosophy of caring for the whole person doesn't it?
Sep 8, '08Warning: This is long ( taken from HIPPA site) appears to be the individual facilites who decides what their employees have informational access to regarding patient information.

Sep 9, '08Quote from Donnagg123In this situation - NO!!! Both of the above situations are HIPAA violations and the CNA has no right or need to know. HIPAA violations are SERIOUS crimes punishable with fines up to $25,000 or 10 years of jail time....tough stuff!Okay, I am curious if I am right or are other co-workers right.
Are CNA's allowed to look in charts?
I question this for two situations - one was a CNA who went to look in her grandmothers chart for information (curiosity reasons) and when I told her not to she got very upset. I told her it was a HIPAA violation. She (weeks later) told me that where she used to work the CNA's used to get in charts all the time and a nurse who works with us backed her up. They stated maybe it is a facility thing but I said HIPAA is federal and CNA's are not allowed in charts. We also got into an argument about what I should tell the CNA (like if a person had AIDS, etc) and I said technically that is a HIPAA violation. And she stated that she should have a right to know because they (CNAs) are the "primary caregivers", and I said HIPAA would say if you use universal precautions that should cover everyone no matter what a resident has. and if there was anything that didn't I would tell her what equipment to use.
Another situation was a similar one, a CNA was looking in residents chart on behalf of another worker (it was her friends aunt). And she also got mad and stated I had never said anything before and I told her that was because I had never saw her do it.
My point is that I think that CNA's should not be in charts. There is nothing in there that they need to know and if they do it should come from the nurses (me). Other people, even nurses, disagree. I feel like if they are caught doing it on "my watch" then I would be the one in trouble, and I feel it is my job to vigorously protect patients info as I would my own. I know they are not allowed to look in charts of relatives or curiosity reasons for sure, but what is the law when it comes to HIPAA and CNA's?
When it come to assisting with the plan of care or inquiring on a patients condition the CNA is caring for, reading the chart is fine and, in some facilities, encouraged. Whenever I work with the CNA's and they has concerns or questions about the plan of care or nursing interventions, I refer them to the patient chart so that they can betrter understand how to give the best possible care. There is nothing more dangerous than giving patient care blindly or not being fully informed of a patient condition, hx, emotional status, etc.
Sep 9, '08I work in Psych as a PCT. I can and do read the charting, and I chart as well. I need to know the pts history and what has has happened recently to work with the pt. I need to know about their physical and psych issues to find out what I need to in order to work effectively with the patients. I have to talk to the patients about their issues and be prepared to listen and understand when they talk about these things. I need to know what to look for in each pt so I can chart on their particular issues. That is how it is in psych where I work, anyway. I don't abuse the privilege, but if I don't know, I don't know what I should be observing and observation is a huge part of the job... especially since I have to chart on it.
If looking at the charts is being done to just to be nosey, well, that is flat out wrong and needs to be stopped.

Bedford's Dennis Guss steals the ball from Lakota's Nathan Ray. Guss, a 5-11 senior, averages 9.6 points per game.

Coming off the best boys basketball season in school history, Bedford is right back at it this season.
The Mules, who set a program record for wins with their 18-6 finish last season en route to Michigan's Class A regional semifinals, are off to a 5-0 start, led by senior standout Jackson Lamb.
"I think that the mindset is different," Bedford coach Nick Lowe said. "They're at the point now where they expect to win rather than hope to win. That's a big part of the battle."
As the Mules prepare for their biggest test so far this season Saturday at Whitmer, Lowe seems to have helped change the culture of the program while the 6-foot-6 Lamb has taken his already superb game up a notch.
When Lamb joined the varsity as a freshman, the Mules finished 9-11 and dropped to 6-15 the following year after a coaching change.
But, with Lamb earning all-state first-team honors last season while averaging 21.8 points and 10 rebounds, Bedford got to the brink of winning its first league title in history.
The Mules finished second in the Southeastern Conference's Red Division.
This season the Mules have beaten Southview (71-50), Brownstone Woodhaven (71-43), Adrian (74-55) in SEC play, and Lakota (70-36) and Bowsher (76-65) at the Emmanuel Christian Warrior Classic.
Lamb has attached special significance to his senior season, because in all probability it will be his last on the hardcourt. A talented center fielder/pitcher, he will play baseball on scholarship at the University of Michigan.
"It kind of really hit me at the beginning of the season," Lamb said of having to give up basketball. "This was my last opener. It's really different for me. I'm probably not going to do this anymore, so that does add a little motivation to it for me."
Added Lowe: "I don't know if I sense any more motivation in Jackson because he has always been a very motivated individual on the floor. I sense more focus. I think he's taking it a little more serious on the floor. He knows this is the end for him, and he wants to make the most of it."
Jackson Lamb, a 6-foot-6 senior forward, averages 27.4 points, 13 rebounds, and 4.6 blocked shots for the 5-0 Mules.

Through five games Lamb is averaging 27.4 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.6 blocked shots, and 3.0 assists, while shooting 71 percent from two-point range and 56 percent on 3-pointers.
"I thought coming into this season that it would be hard for Jackson to outdo the numbers he had last year because they were so good," Lowe said. "But he worked on his game in the offseason, and he is a much better player now than he was last year.
"He's really added to his game. He's a very good perimeter jump-shooter now. He's getting his teammates involved, he helps out against pressure with his ball-handling, so he's much more of a complete player this year."
Lamb, has scored 20 or more points in all five games, including efforts of 34, 31, and 30. He entered the season already holding school career records for scoring (1,328 points) and rebounding (650).
"It's disappointing to me for a selfish aspect," Lowe said of Lamb giving up basketball. "I would love to see what he could turn into a couple years from now.
"I thought at the end of last year that Jackson was probably a mid-major level college basketball player. After watching what he has done with his game in the offseason, and playing against some major college recruits, I think Jackson is a major college basketball player. He could have played at the highest level."
Lamb has been well-complemented in the front-court by versatile 6-4, 225-pound junior Jeremy Harris, who is averaging 10.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists.
"Jeremy Harris is great combination player for us," Lowe said. "He's got the size and the strength to play inside and rebound, and he's also very good facing the basket and shooting the basketball."
Bedford's Jeremy Harris, a 6-4 junior, averages 10.8 points and 7.6 rebounds.

With that 1-2 front-line punch in order, Bedford's Red Division title hopes may come down to how well the right knee of senior guard Dennis Guss holds up.
Guss, who sustained torn ACL and MCL ligaments along with a femur fracture last May while playing AAU basketball, has returned after surgery, and he plays with a brace.
"We just picked up where we left off last year," Guss said of the 5-0 start. "We had that tough regional game. We have the mindset that we ended with last year. We want to go as far as we can, and win the league championship for sure. We fell short last year."
The 5-11 senior wing recently tweaked the repaired knee, but returned after missing two games. He is averaging 9.6 points despite playing just 39 total minutes in his three games.
"Dennis Guss is very instrumental to what we could do this year," Lowe said. "He brings a mental and physical toughness to our team, on top of his basketball ability — being able to handle the ball, shoot the ball.
"In all the years that I've coached, Dennis may have the quickest hands defensively of any player I've coached. He just has knack for getting steals and deflections, and just causing havoc defensively."
Inheriting the point guard position from the graduated Kenny McFadden is 6-1 junior Brad Boss, who was an All-SEC and All-Monroe County quarterback on the Bedford football team in the fall.
"We've got some talent at the school right now and we've got good coaching," Boss said of the basketball program rising at a school where wrestling was and is the marquee sport. "The coaches have turned this into an elite program.
Boss tries to bring his quarterback responsibilities to the basketball court.
"I just try to be a leader and get us in our sets, and keep us from taking bad shots," he said. "Winning the league is a big motivation for us. We want to be remembered as the first to win a league title here."
Boss is averaging 6.8 points and 5.0 assists per game.
Rounding out the starting lineup have been 5-10 senior guard Jake Wise (5.0 points) and 6-3 junior wing Collin Welch (4.5 points, 4.2 rebounds).
"The more that we consistently put a good product on the floor, the more it'll catch on," Lowe said. "I think people in the Bedford community have taken notice of the basketball team, and I think they're happy with the results these boys are having, and how they're doing it."

I'm nowhere in this game I'm looking at programming for Ouya. I would love to send you my code for the game I'd like to start re-programming, but I can't. I was in a car wreck and while I was at the hospital and my only back-up didn't keep the code. He simply kept the executables and a handful of screen shots. I've only seen the EXECUTABLES (I'm saying they're un-editable.) run on a single laptop that I didn't own, so I just accepted it as loss.
I'm looking to re-code Force Disruptor. I wish I had something more than a useless .exe. If anyone would like to see the game I have, just find some alternate way to contact me online. Anyway, to summarize the game, It's basically similar to Asteroids. Kinda. It's a line drawn game of a spaceship flying through space.
I've ordered these 3 books:
Unity 5 From Zero to Proficiency (Beginner): A step-by-step guide to coding your first game with Unity.
Unity 5 From Zero to Proficiency (Foundations): A step-by-step guide to creating your first game with Unity
Unity 5 From Zero to Proficiency (Intermediate): A step-by-step guide to coding your first game in C# with Unity.
Is that order the correct order to read them?

Ella Bowling's seventh grade science class has something to tweet about. It's their use of the popular social networking site, Twitter, in the classroom. Bowling, who teaches at Mason County Middle School, said she had heard about colleges and even the Kentucky Department of Education using Twitter in order to share information. Most of Bowling's students have cell phones and use Twitter or other sites regularly. "I know in the past we have been so afraid of using social media and have discouraged it," Bowling said in an email sent to MCMS coworkers. "But, it's like they always say, if you can't beat them, join them! Students are going to use social media so why not find a way to get them to use it for an educational purpose!"

Two firefighters honored for rescue at brink of Niagara Falls
NIAGARA FALLS – Two Niagara falls firefighters were honored as co-firefighters of the year by the New York State Professional Association of Firefighters during its recent convention in Syracuse.
Capt. John Carey and firefighter Bart DeRosa jumped into the Niagara River May 7 to rescue a man who was stranded on a rock in the rapids. Police had negotiated with the man for more than six hours when he suddenly jumped into the river.
The two firefighters, in harnesses tethered to the shore, were able to wade into the river and pull the man to safety, just 20 yards from the brink of the falls.
Mike McManus, president of the state organization, praised the two firefighters for their "selfless leap" into the river to save someone.
