Discharge planning begins on the day you arrive. Your case manager discusses the discharge process with you and your family. This information assists you in preparing for where you will go and your needs after discharge. Each member of your team directs the plan of care toward discharge. Our goal is to prepare you to go back to the community.
The case manager will communicate with you and your family individually to review discharge needs and plans. The rehab team will meet with you and your family members for a family conference as necessary.
On the day of discharge, you will be given a green folder with information regarding your discharge instructions and follow-up care such as, appointments with the doctor(s), outpatient therapy, homecare, medication(s), and diet. Discharge time is between 10am and 12noon. The rehab team will make every effort to get your care arranged in advance so you can leave during that time.
To aid your case manager in determining which resources may be appropriate for your potential discharge needs, please take a few moments to review the W.I.N.! (What I Need) resources listed below. A complete list is in your welcome folder. Your case manager will meet with you to assess your potential needs.
One way we encourage you to prepare for your discharge is the therapeutic leave pass. The pass is a trial run to see how things go at home and in the community to practice skills you have learned. This should decrease the number of surprises you may have, and help you manage the unavoidable ones. Passes are granted based on the doctor's approval. Home passes also depend upon your insurance coverage. Training in the areas of mobility, activities of daily living, medical issues, medication management and special needs must be completed with your family/support team prior to use of the pass. You and whoever will accompany you on your pass will need to show the treatment team that these areas can be managed safely. Training must be done with each of your therapists and your nurse. The team will let your doctor know what training has been completed. The doctor will then write a pass, if it is appropriate. Home passes are available for up to 6 hours during the day, usually on weekends, so as to not interfere with scheduled therapies during the week.
At our Rockville location, we have an ADL Apartment located on the first floor in the outpatient therapy gym. We have converted a room into an ADL apartment at our Takoma Park location. This is an apartment that is used as a trial run, before going home. This gives you the opportunity to try being on your own, with the security of our staff readily available. The ADL Apartment may be used during the week or weekends, once it is deemed safe and appropriate by the team. When this trial run has been completed, the team can then discuss or review anything found difficult or challenging by you and your support team. We encourage a family member or member of your support team to stay the night with you.
Before discharge, your family may be asked to complete a home assessment. The assessment is to be completed by you and your family and given to the occupational therapist. The information is used by the therapists to suggest changes to make your home more accessible and manageable given your current strengths and limitations. Many accommodations and modifications include the installation of grab bars, hand-held shower heads or in some cases a ramp at the front entrance of your home.
Your family will need to come to the hospital and spend time with you on one or more days. During this time, the staff will work with you and your family to be sure that you are ready for discharge. This allows you and your family to get comfortable with how to safely manage your needs. This is done through education and training provided by the staff. The case manager or therapist will notify you and your family to schedule training.
If your doctor or therapist recommends therapy after discharge, you may be seen in Rockville at our outpatient department, at our outpatient center in Silver Spring, or another site of your choice. The team will help you and your family locate a suitable site to continue therapy. A home exercise program or other educational materials may be provided to you upon discharge. If it is unsafe for you to leave your home, you may be a candidate for home therapy.
We have a number of very active community-based support groups offered at Rockville: Al-Anon, Amputee, Brain Injury, Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury. For details of dates and times please ask your social worker or review the list in your discharge folder.

KING & QUEEN — The host Tigers rolled to a 24-1 lead after one quarter and King & Queen had little trouble beating Mathews 74-56 in a Tidewater District game Friday night.

Etsy roundup: A Valentine's Day gift guide
Let's face it — not all guys were born with the innate ability to be romantic. If your guy needs a little help this Valentine's Day, send him on over. You may still need to make the dinner reservation, but at least you'll receive a gift you'll love.
Not romantic? No problem!
Let's face it — not all guys were born with the innate ability to be romantic. If your guy needs a little help this Valentine's Day, send him on over. You may still need to make the dinner reservation, but at least you'll receive a gift you'll love.
Get personal
A personalized print is the perfect thoughtful gift for any girl, and the guys may even like this too. This print from Etsy shop Earlybird Ink features your names, a state and a sweet saying. Personalize it with the state you live in, where you got married or even where you met. Want something with a bit more pizzazz? There's a ton of options, so you can get the perfect piece for the love of your life that fits both their taste and your space. Not married? No problem — there are plenty of print options on Etsy that commemorate love in general. She'll smile every time she sees it hanging on the wall.
Flower power
Flowers are the quintessential Valentine's Day go-to gift, but those large bouquets can set you back big bucks and will be wilting before the week is over. Give a gift that keeps on giving with this flower pillow from Etsy shop Bed Buggs Boutique. The seller can make this item in just about any color combo, so customize it to fit your sweetheart's taste. The seller can even switch up the flower. Your sweetie will love how thoughtful you were, and she'll love seeing this pillow on the bed long after Valentine's Day is over even more.
Sweet lingerie
Chocolate and lingerie are the two other obvious gifts to give come Valentine's Day. We think this is the classiest way to combine the two. However, if you want to go a little Fifty Shades of Grey, feel free to experiment with your own version of chocolate lingerie. These adorable corset chocolate lollipops from Etsy shop The Frosted Petticoat are super cute, and if your relationship hasn't quite reached the intimate stage, these won't lead to any awkward expectations. Single? Get these for your friends and celebrate your independence.
Me and you
What she really wants is probably a big diamond ring, but if that isn't in the cards this year, this sweet necklace from Etsy shop Maureen Mae will likely score you a few bonus points. Not only does every girl love jewelry, but she'll love the thought that went into finding a piece that symbolizes your relationship and is completely personal. Plus, the price is right, meaning you'll be able to afford more than a drive-thru dinner. If the lady in your life is also a mom, getting your kids' initials could be equally sweet and meaningful.

Hanshin Tigers: March 2, 2010
by Gen on Mar.02, 2010 @ 2:16 pm, under NPB, Spring Camp
=== 3/3/2010 1:05am JST
...Kenji Johjima worked out at Koshien Stadium for the first time since joining the team on Tuesday. He told reporters he almost headed to the visitor's locker room when he arrived at the park.
Johjima took 49 swings during BP and hit 3 over the fence. He also spent some time fielding grounders near third and shagging hits in right during BP.
=== 3/2/2010 2:16pm JST
...The Tigers visited Hirota Shrine on Tuesday to pray for a successful season.
...The battle of the opening day starter candidates: Atsushi Noumi will start a game against the Seibu Lions on the 6th and Yuya Ando will start a game against the Seibu Lions on the 7th.
...Tigers owner Shinya Sakai told reporters on Monday that Takashi Toritani has been doing a good job leading the team as the new player rep and that he had no complaints with his performance so far.
Toritani took the entire day off on Monday for some R&R.
...Hirokazu Shiranita is hoping to hit 150km/h at some point. His current high is 148km/h.
...Kenji Johjima doesn't want any music played while he steps to the batter's box. Johjima didn't have any music when he played for the Hawks and the music that played when he was with Seattle was selected by the team. It'll be the first time since 2000 that a Hanshin player didn't have any batter walk-up music (the year they started implementing batter walk-ups; music for pitchers began in 1999).
Sanspo briefly mentions the story of how MLB on FOX's theme song ended up being Johijma's "anger theme" back in 2006 when Josh Barfield bowled over Johjima.
...Matt Murton selected Kutless' Strong Tower for his batter walk-up.

Home > Newsroom > News Search > Cone Health Heart and Vascular Center Named Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Center
Published on January 09, 2014
Center prepares to begin minimally invasive heart valve replacements in February.
Cone Health Heart and Vascular Center has been accepted as a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Center by Edwards Lifesciences. The Center is preparing to begin TAVR procedures in people with aortic valve disease who are felt to be at high risk for traditional valve replacement surgery. Edwards currently has the only FDA approved TAVR device, called the Sapien® valve, on the U.S. market.
A type of valve disease, aortic stenosis, develops as the aortic valve degenerates. This condition – which is common in the elderly – results in the partial obstruction of blood going from the heart into the aorta and to the rest of the body. People with severe aortic stenosis have a very short life expectancy. An artificial valve can be used to replace the diseased valve and alleviate the obstruction. However, some patients cannot tolerate conventional valve replacement surgery because of their age, anatomical make-up or other medical problems.
"TAVR is a terrific option for those who are unable to undergo the rigors of open heart surgery that are usually required to replace a valve," says Heart and Vascular Center and Imaging Vice President Rich Lundy. "It is great to offer this procedure to patients in our community and region."
People who are eligible for TAVR will undergo a catheterization-based valve replacement. The Sapien® valve is compressed to the diameter of a pencil. The surgeon places it into one of the large blood vessels in the groin or enters a blood vessel by going between the ribs. Using a series of X-rays, the surgeon slides the mechanical valve inside the diseased heart valve. From there it is expanded. This locks the device into place, opens the narrowed area caused by disease and deploys the mechanical valve, which controls the flow of blood. Most people will return home in two or three days.
A Cone Health Heart and Vascular Center team has traveled to numerous other facilities for TAVR training. A highly advanced "hybrid" operating room that will be used for the procedures was opened as part of the North Tower project at The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital. The first TAVR at Cone Health Heart and Vascular Center should happen in late February.
"Not only can people undergo this surgery right in their own community, but they know they are being cared for in one of the highest-quality heart programs anywhere," adds Lundy. The heart surgery program at Cone Health Heart and Vascular Center has been recognized for excellent outcomes in heart bypass surgery and valve replacement/repair surgery including minimally invasive techniques. The program has earned a 3-Star Rating (highest level) for coronary bypass surgery from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons for the past four years.

grow charts
This Christmas I made grow charts for all the little 'uns I knew.
I bought four shelf boards a Home Depot, taped them off and started painting. My choice of wood later turned out to be a mistake.
I painted alternating colored sections on each board. Then in each section I painted a critter getting bigger and bigger.
One was a bunny, next was a tadpole growing into a frog, then an egg hatching into a peep and then a cat.
They were for Kira, Roen, Leah and Olivia
I made a template to paint the measurement lines. I used number rubber stamps to mark the feet.
Here is the frog growth chart finished. My mistake was to use boards that were already painted. The acrylic paint I used scratched off really easily. I had to spray many coats of polyurethane over it to protect it. Live and learn.

Examples of mayhap in a Sentence
mayhap I could see you again next week? I so enjoyed our date tonight
Did You Know?
If "mayhap" looks to you like a relative of its synonym "perhaps," you're right - the words are related. Both ultimately derive from the Middle English noun hap, meaning "chance" or "fortune." "Mayhap" was formed by combining the phrase "(it) may hap" into a single word. "Hap" here is a verb essentially meaning "happen" (the word maybe, another synonym of "mayhap" and "perhaps," was developed similarly from "may" and the verb "be"), and the verb "hap" comes from the noun "hap." "Perhaps" came about when "per" (meaning "through the agency of") was combined directly with the noun "hap" to form one word. Today "mayhap" is a rare word in contrast with the very common "maybe" and "perhaps," but it does show up occasionally.

I have been a big picture bear for awhile like a lot of people but what concerns me at this point is what Brian Reynolds points out with the bond market. He has been on the money with this stuff and if I am reading him correctly it sounds like this market could really take off to the upside. My question then is how do you balance that with what you believe is happening out there?
I hope this question makes sense.

If you read "To Whom It May Concern" in conjunction with some of my other writings and also seredipitously Fleck's latest piece, you will get a sense that very "disinterested" parties (meaning people whose motivations are not fiduciary in nature, but self-promotional) are in charge of vast amounts of money.
Brian's writings are reflecting current conditions: those disinterested parties struggling and focusing on "not underperforming" at the expense of controlling risk. So Brian is describing a situation where the risk premiums are approaching historically low levels, managers simply taking way too much risk (e.g. buying much riskier corporate bonds versus treasuries just to pick up a few extra basis points or buying stocks that are going up just because they are going up) for their "clients".
Brian is in the background very cautious. He is not making a judgment statement that what these managers are doing is right (I know he doesn't think so), he is just saying that is what they are doing. Brian knows that in the end the risk is much too high and that could (will) cause major problems at some point.
What is happeing out there just "is". The rubber band continues to stretch. I have said many times that the key is the long bond price and the dollar yen. It is the Japanese that are primarily allowing the U.S. to stretch that rubber band. Watch for a break-down in the dollar yen (first below 105, then 103, the 100...) for signs that the Japanese are faultering. This will drive up U.S. rates at the wrong time and kill the party.
Until then, the bear remains in slumber.

HAKS provided survey services to support a study to mitigate flooding of the 207th Street and 148th Street New York City Transit (NYCT) yards.
The 50-acre 207th Street site is generally bounded by 207th Street and the University Heights Bridge to the south, the Harlem River to the east, West 215th Street to the north and Tenth Avenue to the west. HAKS' survey division established a horizontal and vertical baseline around the site that was tied to the United States State Plane Coordinate System, Long Island Zone, 1983, and to the North American Vertical Datum 1988. As the entire transit system has been mapped in the NYCT vertical system, equalities to both vertical systems were shown on the plans. Similarly, HAKS performed a topographic survey of the 10-acre 148th Street yard and portal, which was tied to the same horizontal and vertical control.
The 148th Street Yard survey also included extensive property line tasks. This included a retracement of several parcels, one of which contained a school above the NYCT property. In addition, the survey established the limits of Adam Clayton Boulevard as well as portions under the elevated structure of the Harlem River Drive. Tasks also included identification of easements on the properties. Numerous new permanent easements as well as acquisitions property both at grade and subsurface were prepared as well as drawings and metes and bounds descriptions for the parcels.
For both locations, critical areas prone to flooding were identified. This included a survey of a portion of the tunnel and portal leading out of each yard. Elevations on the perimeter walls and roads for the yards were also obtained. At the 207th Street yard, our survey teams obtained elevation on the visible mud line on the wall in the Harlem River.
Permanent benchmarks established at critical locations can be used to establish elevations of the proposed improvements at the "hot spots" during construction.
In many cases, reflector-free total stations were employed to obtain elevations remotely in inaccessible locations. Where applicable, HAKS employed 3D laser scanning technology to obtain elevations over broad areas.

At her sold-out Sunday show in Dallas, Texas, the Queen of Pop strutted across the stage in stiletto boots as she belted out her classic hit, "Like A Prayer." As she bent down to touch hands with fans in the cheering crowd, Madge fell face-forward to the ground.
But the seasoned pop performer rolled with it, seamlessly turning the tumble into a part of her routine.
After lifting her legs into the air — in a move reminiscent of her famous "Like A Virgin" moment from the VMAs — Madonna flipped onto her front and quickly clambered back to her feet, all without missing a beat.
But some YouTube commentators speculate the spill — which came just one night after she canceled a concert due to laryngitis — wasn't a misstep. "She was pulled," one user commented on the clip of Madonna's all. "Look at the security in front of the stage…They look in the audience at some guy." Another chimes in: "She ought to just touch her fans' finger tips instead of grabbing and shaking their hands. That was bound to happen by some overzealous fan eventually."Katy Perry repeatedly fell during a on-stage stunt performing "I Kissed A Girl" at the MTV Latin America Awards. At the 2009 American Music Awards, Jennifer Lopez plopped down on her famous rear-end — but quickly popped back up in her choreography. And in a 2010 concert, Rihanna slipped on her way down the steps but recovered like a pro.

The minute Denise Marino saw me, she knew something was different and didn't hesitate confronting me, "So, you're a two-timer, you've cheated on Bernard, you can't fool me!" Yes, I confessed sheepishly without being able to look her straight in the eye; she caught me red-handed.
I didn't deny the truth; I told Denise that I couldn't hold out any longer, that I just had to do it. But what was I to do? There's no Frederick Fekkai Salon in San Antonio…… and there's only one Bernard Arapoglou. A year ago Bernard gave me the best haircut of my life, and a whole year is a long time to wait, I explained to Denise. But keep in mind ours is a long distance relationship; I live in San Antonio and Bernard lives in Palm Beach. A girl can only be faithful for so long you know. I was tired of looking like a matronly bag lady, my hair looked like ka-ka and desperately needed some shape and style. Yes, I confessed, I transgressed as Tiger said, and I allowed another stylist's scissors to touch my treasured tresses.
Being a suave Frenchman, Bernard rescued me from Denise's wrath, and before you knew it, it was kissy-kissy on both cheeks like they do in France and I was relieved to be back in Bernard's good graces. I was grateful for his forgiveness.
Bernard, the sexy surfer stylist, is the Creative Director at Frederick Fekkai Salon in Palm Beach who looks more like a rock star with his long blond dreadlocks cascading down his back and his scruffy stubble. When he's not our catching mega-waves in exotic places, jumping out of airplanes, or swimming with sharks, Bernard is creating coifs for the filthy rich society ladies in Palm Beach.
Originally from Marseille, France, Bernard is high up in the Fekkai food chain…..he's been with Frederick Fekkai Salon for 9 years including the New York City salon. Bernard is a star stylist and conducts training session for the other Fekkai stylists. With surgical precision, Bernard performs magic with his scissors. I never received so many compliments on how terrific my hair looked as when Bernard gave me a chic new hairdo.
Ah, there's nothing like a Fekkai cut, they are the best in the world. A Fekkai cut is all about precision and perfection. Cuts in the Palm Beach salon range from $125.00-$205.00 and are worth every penny, even if you have to go naked and barefoot. You're not rushed and you know your hair's going to look fantastic.
And not just anyone can become a Fekkai stylist; according to Denise Marino, Salon Manager it takes years and years of training and an intense apprenticeship. Denise explained that you start and the bottom as a shampoo assistant and then have to work your way up gradually being evaluated at each step along the way. Some wanna-be stylists don't make the cut and are history before too long. In many ways it's like being a medical intern and paying your dues before you can be part of this elite group of stylists. The Fekkai apprentice system is a modern day version of the Medieval European master artisan training and passing along his skills to an apprentice.
Training night at Frederick Fekkai Salon is Palm Beach's best kept secret. Models are needed every Tuesday and Wednesday evening for haircuts and color during Palm Beach's 'off-season' from April through November. Under the close supervision of the head stylist and senior colorist, apprentices are carefully evaluated and watched as they cut and color their model's hair. This is an amazing opportunity to get a free Fekkai designer cut or color.
Amanda Ford, Bernard's apprentice and Style Assistant for the last three years was my stylist and I was her model for the training session. Amanda is a stunning tall skinny blond, her mid 20's, with a killer cut by Bernard. Amanda was under the gun, just like one of those reality TV shows; her mission was to create a custom cut for me that complimented my features, hair type, and face. Once finished, her cut would be carefully scrutinized and evaluated by Bernard, it was like passing the bar exam. The pressure was on.
My session started out with a consultation with Amanda asking me what I had in mind, what I like and dislike about my hair, what are my hair issues, what kind of look did I want. Being lazy, I wanted a low maintenance cut with longer sides and the back stacked, something a bit edgy and contemporary.
Amanda offered some suggestions that would work with my facial features and hair type. Next she disappeared for 10 minutes with her big black notebook in hand and drew out my haircut, section by section.
The angles and lines and the layers were meticulously diagramed on the page; it was sort of like a blueprint before she even began to cut. Amanda reviewed the blue print with Bernard, got his OK, and then the transformation began.
Amanda went to work under Bernard's watchful eye and was being evaluated by him. My new do looked terrific and each strand of hair fell into place. Bernard checked Amanda's cut and had me shake my head from side to side to see if it moved and had life. It did.
My hair looked fabulous, Amanda got an A+ from me and Bernard promoted her to the next level of Junior Stylist. As I left the salon with great looking hair and a shot of confidence, Denise hugged me and whispered these parting words in my ear, "If you have an affair again, I'll forgive you."

OTM - The Whole Las Vegas Shooting Stinks to High Heaven 10-05-17
After having researched the Las Vegas Shooting last Sunday I have found it riddled with inconsistencies and lies. It is the ultimate False Flag of the Decade (so far anyway).
Today I showed irrefutable proof that the shooting was a planned event and that it involves much more than we could ever expect. Whether it was an ISIS plan, an Antifa plan or whatever, it was an event that will forever change America.
I took the liberty of including the Las Vegas PD's dispatcher's audio toward the end of the show. It's long but it gives a lot of data for people to absorb

Since he's very careful when choosing words, it's striking that Billy Guthrie uses the word "bloodbath" to describe what he fears could soon strike Louisiana agriculture.
After hurricane-spawned rains and wind ripped through Louisiana row crops, "we're looking at about half a cotton crop," says the producer/ginner from Newellton, in the northeast region of Louisiana. "We'll gin slightly less than half of what we wanted to and be finished ginning by Halloween. Our stalks will be cut by then, too."
And the quality of the diminished crop isn't good. "So far, on loan value, we're a dime off last year."
At the Tanner Gin in Frogmore — about an hour's drive south of Newellton — ginner Randy Ainsworth says prior to Hurricane Gustav the gin was expecting to work some 13,000 acres of cotton.
"The crop was at least average to better-than-average — a 2- or 2.5-bale crop," says the innovative ginner (see http://deltafarmpress.com/cotton/070917-Ainsworth-Gin/index.html). "That led us to believe we'd gin somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,000 to 30,000 bales. Now, we're hoping for 5,000 bales."
Hurricane Gustav dumped around 20 inches of rain on Frogmore along with sustained, 60 to 70 mile-per-hour winds. The wind blew much of the cotton off the stalk and the torrential rains "knocked a bunch more off. After the heavy rains ended, the weather changed to a few days of grey, cloudy skies with intermittent showers. That caused seed in the cotton to sprout."
The remaining cotton is averaging about a bale per acre in yield. Out of that bale, at least half the seed "is no-grade, no good. The cotton quality has also been badly hurt. The grades aren't up to snuff. With a lot of re-growth due the rains, we're seeing a lot of high-leaf and short staple.
"All that's helping some growers make the decision not to pick their cotton. They're thinking, 'Well, I may pick a bale. But if the grades are horrible, I can't make any money.'
"So, we're having growers zero their crop out. There are a lot of people bush-hogging instead of picking. They're out doing that as we speak."
Both well-respected ginners say it would be difficult to overstate the implications for rural Louisiana.
"The real hit — the realization of what's going on — hasn't really happened yet," says Guthrie. "People are still harvesting and doing fall land prep and the like. But when the season winds down, everyone catches their breath and gets out of the busy mode, it'll hit home. We're in for a long winter. From what I'm seeing the economy won't be bad, it'll be really bad."
A rise in rural unemployment is inevitable, says Ainsworth. "There won't be the money available to keep local businesses going. The parts houses won't do as much business because harvesting equipment won't be running and so won't be breaking down. Actually, there have already been lay-offs at local stores.
"Unfortunately, the same is true in the cotton gins. We're not immune. Since we're only going to gin 5,000 bales, the guys that normally work 80 hours a week for six to eight weeks will be cut back to eight hours a day. We're not even running two shifts — just a regular, eight-hour day."
The gin layoffs are bad for cotton's future, says Ainsworth. "There's a lot of uncertainty, but we're praying cotton acreage comes back next year. Well, if you're forced to let good help go, they're going somewhere else: oil fields, wherever.
"The chances of getting that skilled worker back — the guys that are worth their salt — are nearly zero. Unless he's just a homeboy that would never move and wants to ride this situation out, he's gone. In our area there aren't that many good-paying jobs."
And it isn't just cotton and farmers that have taken a series of blows.
"Listen, this is hitting grain elevators, cotton buyers — the whole spectrum of agriculture," says Guthrie. "And to make it even worse, we've got this credit crunch and debacle on Wall Street. What will that mean?
"If it was just the hurricane damage, it would be bad enough. But add in the credit crisis and, man, we're in uncharted territory. This is serious, serious business."

Recap: Rockets at Suns, March 18, 2012
Monday March 19, 2012 0:44 AM
Redd Lifts Suns Past Rockets
Michael Redd pours in 25 points, sparks Suns to 99-86 victory
Jason Friedman
HOUSTON - There is a tendency among a certain segment of the sports fan population that seems to believe very little matters in a basketball game besides the final five minutes of a contest. For them, the importance of everything that happens in the game's final moments is magnified while the vast majority of what took place before is often dismissed and discarded as irrelevant. Crunch time is the end-all and be-all. It is the king-maker; the picture perfect frozen moment to coronate and bestow mythological crowns upon those we deem to be the most clutch of all.
But while such storylines typically drive the narrative, the real tale to be told is never anywhere close to that simple. What happens prior to the final five minutes does matter. In fact, a compelling case can be made that it's just as important as what takes place in crunch time. Every possession is to be cherished and maximized. Each extended run can be monumentally significant – regardless of whether it takes place in the first quarter or the fourth.
Much to the Rockets' chagrin, Exhibit A of that case could easily consist of the opening 12 minutes of their 99-86 loss to the Phoenix Suns Sunday night. During that stretch, Houston surrendered all control to a red-hot Suns team and never could manage to reclaim it. As a result, the Rockets lost for the second day in a row and, more importantly, dropped another full game in the standings to fast-rising Phoenix as the Suns now sit just a half-game behind Houston for the eighth and final playoff spot in the tightly packed Western Conference.
"We didn't shoot the ball well, we didn't move the ball, we didn't have a good rhythm to start the game and we got ourselves in a hole and we were never able to climb out of that hole," lamented Kevin McHale after the game. "We had some problems, Goran picked up two quick fouls and we were scrambling from that point on."
Indeed, Houston's woes began just two-and-a-half minutes into the game, when starting point guard Goran Dragic picked up his second foul, forcing him to the bench and exposing the club's current lack of depth at the position. With Kyle Lowry (bacterial infection) still on the mend and newcomer Courtney Fortson yet to take part in even a single practice with the club after signing a 10-day contract with the team the day before, the Rockets responded to Dragic's foul trouble by handing the point guard reins to Courtney Lee.
Phoenix, meanwhile, responded by taking full advantage of the Rockets' predicament.
The Suns immediately proceeded to rattle off a 22-4 run to take a double-digit lead from which an exhausted, undermanned and out of sync Houston squad just could not seem to bounce back. The Rockets spent the rest of the half simply attempting to somehow stay in the game amid a bevy of turnovers, blown free throws and bricked shots.
Making matters worse, the Suns' Michael Redd took the fans in Phoenix for a ride in his own personal WAYBAC Machine, putting on a shooting display that harkened back to his halcyon days with the Milwaukee Bucks. Redd lit up the Rockets for 14 points off the bench in the second quarter, hitting six of the seven shots he attempted in the frame. And when he came back to the court in the second half, he clearly hadn't cooled off one bit, as he finished the contest with a season-high 25 points on 10-13 shooting in just 19 minutes of action.
Thanks to Redd's heroics, the Suns' reserves outscored their Houston counterparts 47-34 Sunday night – a stark departure from the last time these clubs faced each other when the Rockets' second unit unleashed a 57-13 whipping of the Suns' bench brigade.
It was, unfortunately, that kind of night for Houston; an evening that saw the club play much better in the second half, only to have every attempted rally subsequently squashed by some sort of great, bizarre, or downright shrug-inducing play from the Suns similar to the type produced by Sebastien Telfair, he of the 28 percent 3-point shooting stroke, who drained a deep triple right before the buzzer to end the third quarter, ensuring Phoenix went into the fourth with a 16-point lead and all the momentum.
"I think it was too much, that first quarter," said Dragic, who still posted strong numbers in spite of his foul trouble, finishing with 16 points, 8 assists and 4 steals. "Yesterday we had a close game with the Clippers and we didn't have any ammo, we were missing open shots. We didn't have that energy. We know how the Phoenix Suns are going to play, up and down and they were playing fast. They caused us some problems, especially on defense. I would say that was the reason. In the third or fourth quarter we played well but we were just too tired to come back."
And 1s: Marcus Camby made his Rockets debut Sunday, scoring 8 points and grabbing 8 rebounds in 20 minutes of play ... Chandler Parsons, meanwhile, returned to the starting lineup after missing Saturday's game against the Clippers due to the flu. He scored 4 points and snagged 5 rebounds in 22 minutes ... Kevin Martin missed his fourth straight game with a strained right shoulder.
"We didn't shoot the ball well, we didn't move the ball, we didn't have a good rhythm to start the game and we got ourselves in a hole and we were never able to climb out of that hole. They made a few shots. We had some good looks for us; we had some corner threes that we normally knock down but we weren't making shots and our ball movement got stagnant. We had some problems, Goran picked up two quick fouls and we were scrambling from that point on."
"It's always disappointing when you lose but we've just got to get home and get some practice under our belt with OUR new guys and go out and play."
I thought that we missed some opportunities to make it more of a ballgame. We had too many turnovers that gave them easy baskets. We just were not sharp tonight.
"They went away too quick and too far away so we tried to fight back but we couldn't come back. We put the game in single digits, I think once, but then they just hauled it. We still have to think about each game. It's getting closer and closer but each game is important. We aren't going to make it if we think too far ahead."
"I think it was too much, that first quarter. Yesterday we had a close game with the Clippers and we didn't have any ammo, we were missing open shots. We didn't have that energy. We know how the Phoenix Suns are going to play, up and down and they were playing fast. They caused us some problems, especially on defense. I would say that was the reason. In the third or fourth quarter we played well but we were just too tired to come back."
"I thought we got off to a good start. We started the way we needed to, from the standpoint of the importance of the game and what it would mean to win. I liked the energy that we played with at the start and we pretty much played that way through out. You have to give this team a lot of credit because one of the things they won't do is they won't quit. We could never really knock them completely out of the box like we want to. Obviously we got a huge boost from Michael Redd. That's a vintage Mike Redd, he gets on a role and he gets really difficult to guard."
(On change since All-Star break): "I think that the chemistry has just come together. I don't know how that happens but I think our guys feel pretty good about themselves. Our bench is starting to play better. Because of that I think guys are starting to feel more comfortable in their roles and our defense has been much better. Tonight when we needed to lock in and bare down we shot 47 percent which is really the area we want to be."
(On the game): "We're clicking, we're playing well. Tonight was a good effort – we got up big, we could have been better. We know Houston is the kind of team, they don't quit. They were down 13 with two minutes left at Oklahoma City and came back and won in regulation. So, we just did what we had to do. Michael Redd got hot, got going and I thought Robin (Lopez) was big, our defense was good; a little sloppy down the stretch, but a good team win and we're feeling good and we've got to continue with that momentum now going East and playing against one of the best teams, in Miami, on Tuesday night."
(On the upcoming road trip): "I thought early on in the year we actually played a little better on the road. We started to sort of solve the problem at home. We beat some good teams – teams that are ahead of us, teams that are in the playoff hunt, so we were playing with confidence and we just sort of have a good feel, good flow, a good rhythm offensively. Our defense is pretty solid. Tonight we gave up too many rebounds, but we're just kind of doing what we have to do to win. It seems as if every night it is something different, but we're playing hard, competing, getting good production from our bench and we're just taking care of business."
(On playing well from start to finish): "Today, it was Michael Redd who was really hot from the beginning. And for the first time after a while we actually played really good from the first minute. We were focused, we didn't let Houston run their game, we played our style and thanks to a couple guys off the bench again – Robin Lopez, Shannon Brown – we actually have four wins in a row. And, chemistry is just outstanding now, everybody feels good and hopefully we're going to get a couple of wins on the road right now."

HOLLYWOOD — They were lean and mean before the race.
But lifeguards participating in the first Hollywood Beach Patrol 10-K Jungle Row looked different afterward.
The 22 competitors from Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties were sweaty and exhausted when the 6.2-mile event ended.
Eleven boats lined up in the Intracoastal Waterway, just south of the Hollywood Boulevard bridge. At the sound of the horn, they took off. Three heavier boats got a 90-second lead.
The wind and the current went against the rowers for the first 3-mile stretch as they headed north. Add the setting sun, and the 21 men and one woman were in for a tough race.
They turned west down a narrow, tree-lined canal, north at West Lake and in for the finish line at Holland Park, near Johnson Street and the Intracoastal.
After trailing the leaders most of the race, the Hollywood crew of Jim Shoemaker and Vince Wiernicki rowed to the finish in a time of 1 hour, 3 minutes and 14 seconds. Whisking through only nine seconds behind was the team of Rick Greco and Mike McMaster, also of the Hollywood Beach Patrol.
One of the teams from Fort Lauderdale, considered the team to beat by many rowers because of their first-place finish in national competition two years ago, came in third place.
``You don`t have to be afraid of us anymore,`` said Erik Jersted, as he hosed off himself minutes after the race. ``Now we`ve got a new team to beat.``
He and his partner, Mark Beaudrea, finished in 1:05:34.
The Delray Beach team of Jeff Smith and Eric Feld brought up the rear in a time of 1:17:14.
No competitor suggested the Hollywood teams had the home-water advantage.
Patricia Daymon, one of four participants from the Palm Beach County Beach Patrol, only said she`d rather row in the ocean.

My e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com
and I live in Riverside CA.
My sister, Judy, and I took Aunt Wanda up to Texarkana, AR to look at the library to see if we could find out information on my ggrandmother Hanna Bertha Dodson.
They were reworking their library and books were pilled everywhere. My aunt didn't know where to start so my sister handed her a book that said History of Pike Co., AR.
She found a story about our Parsons and a lot of information about our Kelleys. We photocopied the pages about our family. We found no information on Hanna. I wrote to Ms. Hughes and got a brief letter from her.
Judy and I decided to go to Delight, AR in Pike Co to see if we could locate copies of the book to buy for ourselves and our Mother. We pulled into Delight and parked at the bottom of a long row of stairs to get something to drink and stretch our legs. We went into a store that had a pay phone, a drink machine and a counter where people paid their gas bills. There was no phone book.
We asked the lady if she had one we could check. She asked who we were looking for and said that she knew everyone in the area. We told her we were looking for Odell Kelley Hughes. She said why are you looking for her. I told her that I had written her and she had confirmed that we were related and that she had written a chapter in the book History of Pike Co. that told about our family. We would like to purchase the book if it was still in print.
She said, I am Odell and I have only 3 copies of the book left. Wow... there go the hairs on my arm again just writting about it. We have stayed in touch with Odell and are going to be stopping in again to see her.
Our guardian angels stopped us at the right place at the right time. By-the-way, the Historical Society in Pike Co., AR has since reprinted the book.

IN MEMORIAM: Harriet Weston Johnson '50 of Bennington, N.H., died Oct. 3, 2004. She was a public school teacher for 28 years in New York, New Hampshire, and in Brandon, Vt., retiring in 1977.
On Aug. 27, Charles Ricardi and his family were on the KSC campus to help his granddaughter get settled in as a freshman. Nice to know our grandkids are interested in our College.
Richard Rogers and his wife Margaret made a visit to Branson, Mo., where they enjoyed several shows. Of course, Richard took his fishing pole. On their way home, they planned to visit in Nashville with a friend who just had a book published.
Del Langille has enjoyed several trips to various parts of the United States. One was not pleasant because it was to the funeral of his sister-in-law in Texas.
Isleboro, Maine, was the vacation home of Pauline Bullard Brown last summer. She enjoyed it so much she decided to extend her stay.
Nina Krochmal Witham leads a busy life in York, Maine. She found this summer a very sad one due to the death on Aug. 23 of a dear friend, Irene Terill Warner '53. Nina and Bob '53 attended several memorial services during the summer. On Sept. 15, they attended Bob's high school reunion in Dover, N.H. They planned to see Dick '52 and June Simpson '52 Chambers on New Year's Eve, then take off to Marco Island for a winter vacation.
Patricia Parent O'Donnell writes from Clearwater, Fla., that Charlie and Frances had come and gone. She was hoping Ivan would pass them by. Pat's 97-year-old mother was safe in a nursing home.
A group of classmates met for lunch in Concord, N.H., on Sept. 17. Lots of laughter and memories were exchanged among Archie Gleason, Jim McShane, Del Langille, Jill Knight Wyman, Joan Greeley Simpson, Elaine Schmidt Chesley, Betsy Walker Staples, and Norma Wright Walker. It was such fun that we decided to meet again in May. Also at the restaurant was Becky James Brusie '52.
Joan Greeley Simpson and Norma joined other Keene State Golden Circle alumni for lunch and a boat trip on Squam Lake in Holderness. It was a perfect day to be on the lake to see loons and locations of scenes filmed in "On Golden Pond."
Jill Knight Wyman and Ruby LaPointe Brannen met for lunch in Lincoln, N.H., recently. Bill Remick ran for a seat in the N.H. House of Representatives for District 2 and won. Congratulations, Bill, from all of us. His district covers nine North Country towns.
IN MEMORIAM: Elizabeth Merrill Weston '51 of Hancock, N.H., passed away Jan. 10, 2005. She taught grades one through six in Hancock for 11 years, and then taught for 21 years in Antrim. Upon retirement, she worked on a genealogy for the town of Hancock.
From Irene: Anita Rawchuck Nestor keeps us informed as to her comings and goings. She and hubby, Alex, spent five months in Mexico last winter, after which Anita and her sister visited their brother in Florida. Took a few days in Boston visiting friends and looking after the old homestead. Last summer, she and Alex took a 10-day cruise, leaving from New York, going up into the St. Lawrence River, and docking in Montreal to see a few sights, then on to Toronto to visit Alex's godchild and family. They headed home to California to pack and head to their winter home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Golden Circle time again in Rindge, N.H. Bruce and I went to the dinner meeting at Lilly's on the Pond, and it was fun visiting with everyone. Claire, Charlotte and Don Carle, Bruce and I were the only '52ers there. The meal was delicious and Norma Walker was once again a wonderful hostess, planning, ordering, preparing, and presenting gifts to everyone. She makes everyone feel so welcome. Thanks, Norma, for all that you do. Wish more friends would join us. It is a very fun time. Thanks, also, to Mike Maher for all his help as well. He has some wonderful cruises planned for this year. Keep in touch for next year as well.
We still have a few "missing" people. Do you know their whereabouts? We'd love to track down Sally P. Barker, Ossie Brown, Marian Bunce, Eugene Farand, and Frank Holt. We will add a few more names next issue. Please call or write or e-mail to me or Claire, or the Alumni office.
From Claire: I attended the Golden Circle meeting at Lilly's in November. Norma Wright '51 did her usual great job of making us all feel so welcome. A few of the staff of KSC, including Alumni Director Mike Maher '72, spoke briefly on some of the changes taking place on campus. Wish more of our class could make some of these meetings. We had a good showing in Concord in June. I think the location makes a difference.
It was at this meeting that we were informed of the deaths of two of our classmates, Irene Dunn Wright and Neal Slocum, and were reminded about the passing of Ruth Wilson Keddy '43. She was a favorite of many of our classmates. Sad news for all. I have little information on Irene. I believe she taught in Franklin and was a principal. It's been a long time since we were all together on campus. I hope some of you who kept in contact with Irene will fill us in. We extend our sympathy to her family.
Received a nice note from Beverly Blasenak Slocum '54 with a copy of Neal's obituary. He certainly lived a busy life. I know that Neal was an active alumnus of Keene State. He served on our class reunion committees and was class agent. Can't you still see him carrying our class banner in the parade at all our reunions? Neal had a lifelong love of aviation. His nickname was "Skybo" due to the hours spent at the Keene airport in his younger days. He also built and collected model airplanes. He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1952-56 as an instructor and instrument technician. Neal taught high school, worked as a custom millwork designer, and served the Burlington public schools as audio-visual graphics designer. He was an active supporter of scouting, an avid photographer, and a skilled woodworking craftsman. We extend our sympathy to Bev and their children and grandchildren.
Heard from Lila Murphy recently. She is still in Concord and keeps busy. She saw June and Dick Chambers this fall. She's not planning to winter in Florida this year. She recently had lunch with Marjorie Dustin Stapleton. Glendle Emerson Kearney had planned to join them but her husband was ill. Murph was invited back to Jaffrey this past summer for the 50th reunion of the class of '54. She had been their class advisor during her first two years of teaching. She had a wonderful time!
I did not receive any replies from my last requests for news. I know that many of you have enjoyed reading about your classmates. Thanks for letting us know! But we cannot continue if we do not hear from you.
IN MEMORIAM: William L. Ray '56 of Sarasota, Fla., died Nov. 13, 2004. He earned a master's degree from Southern Connecticut State College and served in the U.S. Army. For 30 years he taught art and art history at Rippowam High School in Stamford, Conn., and Westhill High School.
Anne M. Brown of Salinas, Calif., is busy with 11 grandchildren and her second term on the school board.
Cynthia Park Glover of Sebastian, Fla., and Bradford, N.H., writes: "Very sad about the hurricane damage and tornado damage here in Sebastian, just north of Vero Beach. Progress is slow. We will not be able to move back in until next fall, fingers crossed. No one here killed or seriously hurt. Bunking with son Tim is a tight squeeze. Bless his heart for taking us in. Our lake home is only a three-season home."
From Richard and Phyllis Manseau Dowd of Manchester, N.H.: "We are both retired-Dick since 1992 after 35 years in Goffstown, N.H.; Phyllis in 1996 after 27 years in Manchester. Married 46 years. Four children and nine grandchildren, so we keep busy."
Harold Nugent is "Mr. Harold" to his audiences at Gainesville, Fla., elementary schools. Harold volunteers with the Florida Park Service, giving presentations on alligators and crocodiles, with live examples, in the state's schools and libraries. He handles young alligators about two feet long and gets his training from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. He hopes to break down the stereotypes about the species and help residents, young and old, better understand the animals and their role in the ecosystem.
From Sandy Bean: Gordon and I enjoyed seeing Ann Weeks Pearson, Carol Gatcomb Riel, Judy Palmer Marshall, Ed Poor, and Larry Cole at our 45th reunion.
IN MEMORIAM: George F. Disnard M'59 died Sept. 3, 2004, in Claremont, N.H. He was a former State Senator and superintendent of schools in Claremont, where he began teaching in 1949.

The Polymer Processing Institute is an independent research corporation headquartered at New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ USA. Its mission is to assist industry by implementing the advanced knowledge in the field of polymer technology and related areas through sponsored research, development and education, and to disseminate information via technology transfer. PPI is involved in extension activities for the plastics industry (through the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program), edits its own journal, "Advances in Polymer Technology", edits and authors its own Monograph Series, organizes meetings for member companies on generic aspects of polymer processing, offers training opportunities and advanced-level short courses for engineers and scientists in the industry, and supports the education and research needs of graduate and undergraduate students.
PPI's human resources include a technical staff of more than 15 professionals and renowned associated consultants. Governed by a distinguished board of trustees, PPI enjoys a close working relationship with its Corporate members, even though number of which decreased substantially from the past (nearly 40 at one time) and include the largest and most prestigious international corporations in the polymer industry. With the arrival of Dr. Kun Sup Hyun as President, after a successful industrial R&D career from The Dow Chemical Company, on Feb. 1st, 2001, the Institute is available for consulting major companies how to set up a successful leveraging group in polymer processing in the companies as he had demonstrated at Dow for 12 years.
PPI's main research focus is the modification of polymers through processing into special property, high-value products that are suitable for the medical, health care, automotive, electronics, construction, and packaging industries. Other research initiatives include nanocomposites and conducting polymer systems, the development of on-line process/ product monitors PPI's special area of expertise is the development of appropriate polymer processing operations, including reactive processing and microstructure development by compounding and thermoplastic extrusion foam processing to obtain high performance materials and products. These activities are supported by excellent facilities in property characterization, in-and on-line process monitors and computer modeling. PPI's Process and Characterization Labs and Computation Center are very well equipped, up-to-date and professionally managed. The flexible Process Labs contain virtually all important extrusion, compounding and injection molding machines, Single and Twin Mixing Element Evaluators and a multitude of in-house on-line process monitors.
PPI's research services encompass generic, multi-client and proprietary contract research associated with the development of polymer products and processes. The computer services include packaged software for single screw extrusion and die design and property analysis (WinSSD™), as well as materials and process data banks and custom software development as well as co-development.
The headquarter of the Polymer Processing Institute (PPI) was moved from Stevens Institute of Technology to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) on January 1, 1999. The move took place after sixteen years at Stevens, where PPI was founded in 1982.The move to NJIT served PPI's need for a large, contiguous polymer processing laboratory space, which is provided for by the factory floor facility in the Guttenberg Information Technology Center (GITC) building.
PPI remains an independent, not-for-profit research corporation, whose mission is to work with industry to advance knowledge and technology in the field of polymer processing and related areas. This mission is carried out through sponsored research, development, education and publication of its journal Advances in Polymer Technology, a Monograph Service with Hanser as well as presenting the results of generic research in technical meetings and in papers published in technical journals.
PPI first linked with NJIT in 1995 when our Director of Research, Marino Xanthos, joined the NJIT chemical engineering faculty, revitalizing the university's polymer program. In the first five years PPI has been a partner of theMulti-lifecycleEngineeringResearchCenter program at NJIT, funded by the NJ Commission of Science and Technology.
At NJIT, PPI works very closely with the Center for Manufacturing Systems (CMS) and the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NJMEP), an independent not-for-profit organization dedicated to assisting small and medium size New Jersey Manufacturers. Both PPI and CMS serve as technical service providing partners of NJMEP.
PPI was also a participant in the NJIT Polymer Engineering Center (PEC), which served as the home for academic faculty research in Polymer Engineering. PPI's equipment and technical personnel are available to the faculty and graduate students conducting research in Polymer Engineering. PPI's research labs are used for undergraduate and graduate laboratory instruction. The Director of the PEC was Professor Xanthos who now serves as Chair of the Executive Committee for the Council of Material Science and Engineering. Even though PEC is dissolved, PPI now facilitates the previous PEC function.
PPI's move to NJIT extended the university's ability to address industrial development need and catalyzes cross-disciplinary research and educational programs with NJIT in the field of polymer engineering and science.
On the other hand, as an established public research university with a mission of economic development and service, NJIT is providing PPI with a broad technology base. Dr. Hyun, Dr. Gogos and Dr. Todd are also Research Professors in the Otto H. York Department of Chemical Engineering facilitating the interaction between NJIT and PPI.

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 10, 2014) - Greene Concepts, Inc. (OTC Pink: LKEN) announced today that it has entered the exploding hemp industry, with the upcoming launch of a hemp-centric website. Through its cutting edge website, LKEN will promote its lines of hemp-based ink, hemp paper and other related products. Its new website, which will deploy fully integrated multi-platform content and content marketing management software and facilitate B2B and B2C hemp transactions will be open to hemp-related products and services from businesses, industry experts, growers, users and more.
Lenny Greene, LKEN's CEO, stated, "We are extremely excited about our move into the hemp industry, a move that has been carefully planned over the past year and recently picked up additional momentum as it became increasingly apparent that the Farm Bill, which was signed into law by the President last Friday, would actually become law after four years of Congressional haggling. We believe the provisions that bring the reality of the legalization of industrial hemp production into view will serve as a boon to the hemp industry immediately, as well in the long term. And, it goes without saying, almost, that our efforts within the hemp industry will get a significant boost from the exploding medical marijuana and adult use marijuana markets, both current and future." Mr. Greene further stated that LKEN's move into a "green" industry provides a significant opportunity to grow the company's revenue base through sales of hemp-based ink and hemp paper, as well as many other hemp related products and, indeed, web-related revenues also.
To demonstrate the historical use of hemp in the U.S., Washington State Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles, D-Seattle, notes "Even the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper."

Mr. Greene adds, "Involvement in the industrial hemp industry supports LKEN's company goals of revenue growth, increased distribution networks, and web/social media presence, and also helps us introduce new and exciting products to the masses."

Details About the Hemp Industry and Hemp Products:
Hemp is among the oldest industries on the planet, going back more than 10,000 years to the beginnings of pottery. Industrial hemp comes from the cannabis plant. The hemp plant has thousands of positive industrial uses to include biofuels, biodegradable plastics, clothing, beauty products, food, rope, canvas, paints, paper, fiberboard, cement blocks, and cellophane. Hemp is the longest and strongest natural fiber known to man. It also provides a sustainable, renewable, and natural alternative to toxic fossil fuels and helps contribute to the rejuvenation of our atmospheric air quality.

Details of the Farm Bill
The Agricultural Act of 2014 (Farm Bill) is important legislation that provides authorization for services and programs that impact every American and millions of people around the world. The Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. President Barack Obama signed the $956 billion farm bill into law on Friday, February 7, 2014. The president noted that the law supports not only farmers and ranchers but poor families on food stamps, researchers working on biofuels, and businesses developing and exporting new products from rural America.
The final 2014 Farm Bill agreement included a provision that would allow institutions of higher education and state departments of agriculture to grow or cultivate industrial hemp for research purposes. This is allowed only for states where industrial hemp farming is already legal under state law.
It also requires that the sites used by universities and agriculture department be certified by -- and registered with -- the state department of agriculture. This provision will allow universities and agricultural departments to study industrial hemp for its possible future use as a commercial product.
States such as: California, Colorado, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, and Vermont which currently have laws to promote the growth and marketing of industrialized hemp. Thirteen other states have introduced or carried over industrial hemp legislation to include: Arizona, Hawaii, Indiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey (carried over from 2013), New York, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington (two bills carried over from 2013), West Virginia and Wisconsin.
