Repairing Windows XP in Eight Commands
Most of us have seen it at one time or another; perhaps on our own PC, the PC of a loved one, or perhaps a PC at your place of employment. The system spends weeks or months operating in a smooth fashion, taking you to the far reaches of the wide, wibbly web, and after one particularly late evening of browsing and gaming, you shut your PC off and go to bed. Millions of people across the globe do just this every night, but a few of us have turned our PCs on the next day not to the standard Windows XP loading screen, but instead this dreaded error:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup
using the original Setup CD-ROM.
Select 'R' at the first screen to start repair.
Which renders your PC inaccessible from the standard boot procedures of Windows XP. You try safe mode, to no avail. Youre particularly savvy and try issuing the FIXBOOT and FIXMBR commands in the Windows recovery console, but after each reboot, youre merely greeted with the same obnoxious and terrifying blue screen of death thats preventing you from accessing your precious data.
Perhaps youve also seen these error screens:
Windows NT could not start because the below file is missing or corrupt:
Windows NT could not start because the below file is missing or corrupt:
NTLDR is Missing
Press any key to restart
Invalid boot.ini
Press any key to restart
Allow me to build tension by prefacing the end-all/be-all solution with my background: Having worked for the now-incorporated Geek Squad branch of Best Buy Corporation for the better part of eight months, I have seen dozens upon dozens of systems come through our department with any one of these errors, brought in by customers who are afraid they did something, have a virus, or are in jeopardy of losing their data. Prior to my discovery of an invaluable sequence of commands, our standard procedure was to hook the afflicted drive to an external enclosure, back up a customers data and then restore the PC with the customers restore discs or an identical copy of Windows with the customers OEM license key. If the customer wasnt keen on the applicable charges for the data backup, we informed them of the potential risks for a Windows repair installation (Lets face it, they dont always work right), had them sign a waiver, and we did our best.
Neither of these procedures are cheap in the realm of commercial PC repair, nor do they inspire a tremendous level of confidence in the technician or the hopeful client.
In an effort to expedite our repair time and retain the sanity of myself and other technicians, I received permission to undertake a case study on a variety of PCs currently in service that exhibited any of the aforementioned symptoms, and I took it upon myself to find a better solution. After crawling through the MSKB, Experts Exchange, MSDN and sundry websites all extolling the virtues of a solution to these problems, I only found one that worked, and it has been reliably serving me for the better part of two weeks on seventeen PCs to date.
The process is simple: Get to the Windows Recovery Console for your particular Windows installation, navigate to the root letter of your installation (C: in most cases), issue eight commands, and reboot. The cornerstone of this process is a command called BOOTCFG /Rebuild which is a complete diagnostic of the operating system loaded into the recovery console; the purpose of the command is to remove/replace/repair any system files that were preventing the operating system from loading correctly. Amongst the files it fixes are:
* Windows Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
* Corrupt registry hives (\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\xxxxxx)
* Invalid BOOT.INI files
* A corrupt NTOSKRNL.EXE
* A missing NT Loader (NTLDR)
The command process may apply to other types of blue screens or Hive/HAL/INI/EXE/DLL-related stop errors, but I have not had the luxury of computers in this type of disrepair. The process I am about to outline is virtually harmless, and if you feel you may be able to correct your PCs boot-time blue screens and stop errors with the sequence, feel free to try.
Let us now begin with a step-by-step instruction for correcting these issues.
Getting to the Windows Recovery Console
1. Insert your Windows XP CD into your CD and assure that your CD-ROM drive is capable of booting the CD. Configuring your computer to boot from CD is outside of the scope of this document, but if you are having trouble, consult Google for assistance.
2. Once you have booted from CD, do not select the option that states: Press F2 to initiate the Automated System Recovery (ASR) tool. Youre going to proceed until you see the following screen, at which point you will press the R key to enter the recovery console:
* After you have selected the appropriate option from step two, you will be prompted to select a valid Windows installation (Typically number 1). Select the installation number, (As mentioned, 1 in most cases), and hit enter. If there is an administrator password for the administrator account, enter it and hit enter. You will be greeted with this screen, which indicates a recovery console at the ready:
Continue to page 2 to proceed with the repair functions.
Proceeding With the Repair Functions
* There are eight commands you must enter in sequence to repair any of the issues I noted in the opening of this guide. I will introduce them here, and then show the results graphically in the next six steps. These commands are as follows:
o C: CD ..
o C: ATTRIB H C:\boot.ini
o C:ATTRIB S C:\boot.ini
o C:ATRIB R C:\boot.ini
o C: del boot.ini
o C: BOOTCFG /Rebuild
o C: CHKDSK /R /F
o C: FIXBOOT
* To Go up a directory in computing is to revert back to the directory above the current folder youre operating in. If, for example, Im in the C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32 directory, and I want to get at a file in the WINDOWS directory, I would merely type CD .. and I would be taken out of the SYSTEM32 folder and up one level to WINDOWS. Were going to do the same thing here from the WINDOWS folder to get to the basic root of C:
* Now that we are at C: we can begin the process of repairing the operating system
and that begins with modifying the attributes of the BOOT.INI file. Briefly, BOOT.INI controls what operating systems the Windows boot process can see, how to load them, and where theyre located on your disk. Were going to make sure the file is no longer hidden from our prying eyes, remove the flag that sets it as an undeletable system file, and remove the flag that sets it as a file we can only read, but not write to. To do this, we will issue three commands in this step:
to remove the Hidden, System and Read Only flags.
* Now that weve modified the attributes for the BOOT.INI file, its up for deletion.
the syntax for it is simple: { DEL | FILE NAME }, e.g., C:DEL BOOT.INI deletes the BOOT.INI file.
* Now for the most important step of our process, the BOOTCFG /REBUILD
command which searches for pre-existing installations of Windows XP and rebuilds sundry essential components of the Windows operating system, recompiles the BOOT.INI file and corrects a litany of common Windows errors. It is very important that you do one or both of the following two things: First, every Windows XP owner must use /FASTDETECT as an OS Load Option when the rebuild process is finalizing. Secondly, if you are the owner of a CPU featuring Intels XD or AMDs NX buffer overflow protection, you must also use /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN as an OS Load Option. I will demonstrate both commands for the purpose of this guide, but do not set NOEXECUTE as a load option if you do not own one of these CPUs. For the Enter Load Identifier portion of this command, you should enter the name of the operating system you have installed. If, for example, you are using Windows XP Home, you could type Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition for the identifier. This gives the process some authenticity, if youre keen on being a perfectionist.
* This step verifies the integrity of the hard drive containing the Windows XP
installation. While this step is not an essential function in our process, its still good to be sure that the drive is physically capable of running windows, in that it contains no bad sectors or other corruptions that might be the culprit. No screenshot necessary here! Just type CHKDSK /R /F at the C:> prompt. Let it proceed; it could take in excess of 30 minutes on slower computers, when this is finished move on to the seventh and final step.
* This last step also requires no screenshot. When you are at the C:> prompt,
simply type FIXBOOT. This writes a new boot sector to the hard drive and cleans up all the loose ends we created by rebuilding the BOOT.INI file and the system files. When the Windows Recovery Console asks you if you are Sure you want to write a new bootsector to the partition C: ? just hit Y, then enter to confirm your decision.
Results and Wrap-Up
Its time to reboot your PC by typing EXIT in the Windows Recovery Console and confirming the command with a stroke of the enter key. With any luck, your PC will boot successfully into Windows XP as if your various DLL, Hive, EXE and NTLDR errors never existed. Youve just saved yourself from many hours of work, frustration, potential data loss and shelling out your hard-earned greenbacks at a bricknmortar operation.
Keep in mind that this solution is only designed to resolve the issues introduced in the preface if the cause is unrelated to spyware and viruses; while I have had significant luck with rebuilding heavily-infected systems in the method I have described, it is not guaranteed.

Happy Birthday Mr. Tennis Encyclopedia
Bud Collins, the walking tennis encyclopedia and author of the definitive tennis book THE BUD COLLINS HISTORY OF TENNIS ($35.95, New Chapter Press, www.tennistomes.com) will celebrate his 80th birthday on Wednesday, June 17 – the same day that defending Wimbledon champion Venus Williams will celebrate her 29th birthday. Other events from June 16 and June 17 from the book ON THIS DAY IN TENNIS HISTORY ($19.95, New Chapter Press, www.tennishistorybook.com) are excerpted below.
June 16
1974 – Two eighteen-year-olds – Bjorn Borg and Chris Evert – win their first major singles titles with final-round victories at the French Open in Paris. Borg comes back from two-sets-to-love down to defeat Manuel Orantes of Spain 2-6, 6-7, 6-0, 6-1, 6-1 to become the youngest winner of the French Open at the time. Evert encounters much less resistance in defeating her doubles partner Olga Morozova of the Soviet Union 6-1, 6-2 to become the youngest winner in Paris since Christine Truman in 1959. Evert wins an $8,000 first prize, while Borg takes home a $24,000.
1985 – Three weeks preceding his break-through victory at Wimbledon as an unseeded 17-year-old, Boris Becker sends a warning shot to the tennis world and wins his first ATP singles title at the Queen's Club championships in London, defeating Johan Kriek 6-2, 6-3 in the final. Says Becker following his first victory, "It has been a dream for me when I was 10 to win a Grand Prix final. This week has been fantastic. I played my best tennis and beat a lot of good players." Says Kriek of Becker and his chances at Wimbledon, "If he plays like that every day at Wimbledon, Becker can win the tournament."
1975 – U.S. Open Tournament Director Bill Talbert unveils 11 new clay courts at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, Queens, N.Y., that will be used in lieu of grass courts for the 1975 US Open. "It will take a complete player to win the Open this year," says Talbert. Asked how he would react to any player criticism of not playing the U.S. Open on the traditional grass courts, Talbert states, "This is the U.S. Open, which I consider the world's major tournament and I believe that every player should consider it a privilege to compete in it regardless of what kind of courts we have. They should be willing to put it on the line for this championship."
2000 – Michael Chang, the 1989 French Open champion whose baseline game never translated well on grass tennis courts, beats 18-year-old Roger Federer, the future five-time Wimbledon champion, 7-5, 6-2 in the quarterfinals of the grass court event in Halle, Germany.
2006 – Roger Federer nearly loses his first grass court tournament in three years, saving four match points in beating Olivier Rochus 6-7 (2), 7-6 (9), 7-6 (5) in the quarterfinals of the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany. The win is Federer's 39th straight on a grass court surface.
1991 – John McEnroe plays what ultimately is his final Davis Cup singles match, defeating Emilio Sanchez 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 as the United States closes out a 4-1 victory over Spain in the Davis Cup quarterfinal at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I.
1906 – The Doherty brothers – Reggie and Laurie – pair to defeat the American doubles team of Holcombe Ward and Raymond Little 3-6, 11-9, 9-7, 6-1 to clinch the Davis Cup title for Britain in the Davis Cup Challenge Round played at Wimbledon's Worple Road courts. The win gives the Brits it fourth straight Davis Cup victory – and its second straight win over the United States in the Challenge Round. It also marks the end of the Davis Cup career of the popular Doherty brothers.
1985 – Pam Shriver needs only 43 minutes to defeat Betsy Nagelsen 6-1, 6-0 to win the singles final of the Edgbaston Cup in Birmingham, England. Nagelsen wins only 21 points in the entire match and says of Shriver, "She played much too well for me and there was little I could do about it."
June 17
1980 – Venus Ebone Starr Williams, the sensational older Williams sister who, along with younger sister Serena, turn the tennis world on its head by taking their games from the urban streets of Compton, Calif., to Centre Court at Wimbledon, is born in Lynwood, Calif. Williams bursts on the scene as a 17-year-old wunderkind with beaded hair, reaching the final of the U.S. Open as an unseeded player ranked No. 66. Three years later, she is the champion of Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and singles and doubles gold medalist at the Sydney Olympics. In 2002, Williams becomes the first black player – man or woman – to be ranked No. 1 in the world. She and younger sister Serena play the first all sister major final since 1884 at the 2001 U.S. Open. During a stretch from the French Open in 2002 and the Australian Open in 2003, Venus reaches all four major singles finals, but loses all four finals to sister Serena.
1929 – Hall of Fame TV broadcaster, writer and tennis historian Arthur Worth "Bud" Collins is born in Lima, Ohio. Collins is best known for his work with the Boston Globe and with NBC Sports during its "Breakfast at Wimbledon" broadcasts from 1979 through 2007. An astute chronicler and tale teller of the history of the game, he is also known for his tennis encyclopedia – that most recent edition called The Bud Collins History of Tennis – not to mention his colorful wardrobe, featuring his trademark garish and bright-colored trousers.
1898 – In what became one of the most peculiar matches in the history of the U.S. Championships, Juliette Atkinson wins her third U.S. women's singles title, coming back from a 3-5 final set deficit and saving five match points to defeat Marion Jones in the five-set women's final 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 2-6, 7-5 at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. During one of Jones's match points, she loses the point as the ball in play strikes a stray ball on her side of the court. The New York Times describes the match's conclusion in the following way; "The final set was the best of all. Five times during this set Miss Jones was only one point from the match and the championship but Miss Atkinson tied her and beat her out each time. In the ninth game of the set, a brilliant rally took place, which was spoiled by the ball in play hitting a ball lying in Miss Jones's court. At that time Miss Jones needed but one point to win, and her supporters groaned as the chance faded away. The score at the time stood five games to three in favor of Miss Jones, but Miss Atkinson won the next four games and the match by fast playing. Both contestants were heartily congratulated for their plucky work."
1939 – Don McNeill of Oklahoma City, Okla., upsets fellow American Bobby Riggs winning a stretch of 13 straight games in a 7-5, 6-0, 6-3 victory in the men's singles final at the French Championships at Roland Garros. Says McNeill, "I never played better in my life." Says Riggs, "Don just beat me." The French Championships suffer a six-year hiatus following the 1939 edition of the event due to World War II and are not played again until 1946.
1911 – Hazel Hotchkiss wins her third straight U.S. women's singles title, defeating Florence Sutton 8-10, 6-1, 9-7 at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in Philadelphia, Pa. The New York Times describes the match as one "replete with sensational features which kept the large crowd of spectators constantly on edge." Hotchkiss institutes a tactic of lobbing at 7-7 in the third set that helped throw off the upset bid of Sutton, witnessed by approximately 1,000 fans. Hotchkiss also wins the mixed doubles title on this day, pairing with Wallace Johnson to defeat Edna Wildey and Herbert Tilden 6-4, 6-4.
2007 – Maria Sharapova's semifinal match at the DFS Classic in Birmingham, England with Marion Bartoli is temporarily delayed twice when two spectators need medical assistance. A woman and a child fall down a staircase in the stadium, knocking the woman unconscious and requiring her to be flown via helicopter to a local hospital. Later, in another part of the stadium, a man faints. Sharapova wins the match with Bartoli 7-5, 6-0 and later in the day, loses the championship match to Jelena Jankovic 4-6, 6-3, 7-5.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?
The Emperor's New Groove..one of my favorites!
Re: What was the last movie you saw?
Tonight I watched a contemporary noir called The Missing Person. John Rosow (Michael Shannon) is a hard-luck PI who is hired to follow a passenger on the California Zephyr (Amtrak line from Chicago to San Francisco); he eventually learns he's been hired to bring the man, missing for several years, back to his wife. Despite the presence of a pair of recent Oscar nominees in the cast (Shannon and Amy Ryan), this one simply doesn't catch fire at all. The story is muddled and the performances are too low-key to engage the viewer.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?
About a decade after he made Gunfight at the OK Corral, director John Sturges returned to the same subject in Hour of the Gun, which I watched tonight. This one opens with the famous shootout, and concentrates on the aftermath, with Wyatt Earp (James Garner) and Doc Holliday (Jason Robards) trying to uphold the law and deal with the animosity of Ike Clanton (Robert Ryan) and his criminal allies. The opening credits to the film claim "this is the way it happened." That is a considerable exaggeration; however, the antiheroic portrayal of Earp and the rather dark overall tone are quite bracing. Garner and Robards are a very good pairing as Earp and Holliday and there's a nice supporting cast which features a young Jon Voight, and Jerry Goldsmith contributed a solid score.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?
A description or plot summary of Sukeban Deka: Kodu Nemu = Asamiya Saki/Yo-Yo Girl Cop would make the film sound very nearly as ludicrous as the title, but it turns out to be fairly watchable. The story of how Saki (Aya Matsuura), a delinquent teen deported from New York to Japan, is coerced into becoming an undercover cop at an elite high school, starts out seeming pretty far-fetched and never really gains ground in the plausibility department. However, there is some believable human sentiment at the core of this one, thanks largely to a solid performance from Aya Matsuura, a Japanese pop star turned actress.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?
Tonight I watched The Sea Wolves, a rather ordinary World War II film. During 1942, German U-boats are sinking an enormous number of British ships in the Indian Ocean. British Intelligence officers Col. Lewis Pugh (Gregory Peck) and Captain James Bond, er, Gavin Stewart (Roger Moore) discover that the U-boats are having target information radioed to them from a German ship anchored in the harbor of Goa, a colony on the Indian coast which belongs to neutral Portugal. As they can't send military personnel in, they recruit a band of retired soldiers from a unit called the Calcutta Light Horse, led by Bill Grice (David Niven), to infiltrate the harbor in the guise of tourists (!?) and blow the transmitter ship up. Although this was based in an actual escapade during the war, the film comes across as artificial and contrived. Andrew McLaglen's direction is sluggish for most of the film and none of the main characters--the cast also included Trevor Howard and Patrick Macnee--really comes to life.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?
I saw War Horse the other night. In spite of my love for both Spielberg and horses, I didn't think it was one of Spielberg's best movies. I also felt it didn't quite pack the emotional punch his movies usually have. It was still enjoyable, though, but was a little long at the start and the colours seemed extraordinarily bright. The war staging was brilliant, though.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?
I saw the avengers a couple weeks ago. I liked it. Very action packed and funny at times. Robert Downey Jr was hilarious. I think the whole movie was well written. I don't know a whole lot about comic book characters, so I was a little lost when it came to Captain America and Mr Incredible? and Scarlett's character. I know slightly more about the Hulk and Ironman because of the other movies that came out so it's probably not much that I know at all, lol . Overall great movie and I wonder if they will make more....

Re: What was the last movie you saw?
Just recently saw Gone With The Wind from start to finish and I loved it. I didn't even notice it was 3 hours and 45 minutes long. (Yeah I know, crazy). Scarlett is the protagonist and antagonist all in one and with a dose of crazy all mixed in. Before watching the whole thing I've seen a few scenes here and there but never was interested enough to see the whole thing. Vivien Leigh's performance as Scarlett was brilliant. This film is so deserving of all the many Academy Awards it won. What a great movie.
Re: What was the last movie you saw?
The Crimson Kimono is an interesting blend of mystery/thriller and romance. LAPD detectives Charlie Bancroft (Glenn Corbett) and Joe Kojaku (James Shigeta) are trying to get to the bottom of the murder of a stripper. Their task is complicated when both of them begin falling in love with young artist Christine (Victoria Shaw), a key witness who they also have to protect. Director Samuel Fuller, as he did in his earlier film House of Bamboo, handles the interracial romance with a finesse which was highly unusual, if not unheard-of, for the 1950s, while not letting the crime story slack. This was a good one.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?
Sarah Polley, as many of you hopefully know, is a wonderful actress who is starting to develop an equally impressive filmography as a director and writer. If you saw the trailer for her film Take This Waltz, you might take it for a fairly conventional romantic comedy, perhaps just a little off the beaten track. Needless to say, though, Polley eschews the cliched approach; this film is, in fact, more of a romantic drama, and a very bittersweet one at that. Margot (Michelle Williams) meets Daniel (Luke Kirby) on a business trip and they share a flight home, during which an attraction clearly develops between them, followed by a cab ride--at the end of which Margot learns that Daniel lives across the street from her, and Daniel learns that Margot is married to Lou (Seth Rogen). Polley lets things develop in a rather slow and dreamy way, sort of in the manner of many European films. I was impressed with her direction and even more so with Michelle Williams' performance--clearly she's worthy of all the acting awards and nominations she's been snagging the past few years. Seth Rogen, cast strongly against type, also gives an impressive performance.

Performing the arts in the Lincoln!
Last Tuesday's inclement weather held off just long enough for the first in the Performing Arts Series—the Columbus State Concert Band and the Jazz Ensemble—to perform at the historic Lincoln Theatre. The Theatre provided a beautiful setting for the works of woman composers, performed by the bands in honor of Women's History Month. The next concert in the series is Chorus Columbus State performing Spirituals and a Touch of Jazz on Monday, March 25 from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. All concerts are free and open to the public.
High school students invited to College Exploration Night March 19 in Delaware
High school juniors, sophomores and freshmen will have one-stop shopping for five college options next week at College Exploration Night on the Delaware Campus.

During the 90-minute program, representatives from Columbus State, The Ohio State University, Ohio Wesleyan University, Otterbein University and The Ohio State University Marion will each highlight opportunities at their institutions.
College Exploration Night is Tuesday, March 19 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in Moeller Hall.
New ways to earn wellness points help maintain health care rates
If you were able to attend one of the information sessions sponsored by Human Resources last week, you discovered there are new ways to achieve the minimum eight health and wellness points for your United Health Care (UHC) coverage. The points are tallied between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.
First, you may recall, there was some overlap. While this year's points began collecting on July 1, 2012, last year's points didn't actually end until September 30, 2012.
So, here's some good news: If you received points in July, August or September last year, they count for both years. Say you went to the doctor for your physical on July 15, 2012. That single point for the visit counted for last year's points and it will also count for this year's points.
There are also new ways to earn points. In the past, you received two points for a visit to the dentist for a complete dental screening and cleaning. Now, if you make a second visit you get one additional point for a total of three points.
For online wellness programs there is now a new cap of two points. Previously it was one point.
In the category of Staying Healthy Activities (flu immunization, mammography, cervical cancer screening, colon cancer screening, prostate cancer screening, and bone density screening) there is now a cap of three points, up from two. If you received a flu shot during October's In Service Day, you will automatically receive your point. If you received it at a doctor's office or a clinic, submit documentation and you'll receive one point. (Due to a system change at UHC, your point for a flu shot may not be posted until after the current period ends on June 30. As long as you have proof that you received the shot, you will get the point.)
Watch for additional health and wellness information in coming weeks. An additional information session is set for later this month on Wednesday, March 27 at noon in CT 017. Remember, employees who fail to earn the eight required points will see their annual portion of health care costs rise to 30 percent from the current 20 percent.
For those on the family plan, only the employee of Columbus State is currently required to achieve the health and wellness points. That will change on July 1. From that point and going forward, spouses covered under the UHC health plan will be required to participate in order to remain at the 20 percent contribution level.
If you have questions, please contact Wellness Coordinator Nichole Bowman-Glover at ext. 3989.
If you need a refresher course on how to navigate the UCH website, check out this web video http://welcometomyuhc.com/healthandwellness/tour/. There's a pull-down menu in the upper right side that says "Jump to Topic." That menu will allow you to select specific areas that you want to view.
Chronicle survey coming later in March
Columbus State will once again participate in the Chronicle of Higher Education's "Great Colleges to Work For" survey. This annual study helps colleges assess workplace quality, culture and employee satisfaction, and enables comparison to similar institutions. Combined with the 2012 data, the survey will provide a foundation and baseline for measuring quality improvements.
Part of the study includes a survey completed by a random sample of 600 employees. Beginning March 18, employees in this sample will receive an email and instructions directing them to an online survey. If you receive the invitation, please take several minutes to complete the survey. The survey window will be open between March 18 and April 15.
To ensure the confidentiality of your responses, your survey will be processed by ModernThink LLC, a research and consulting firm focusing on workplace excellence. Our institution will not be given any information that would enable us to trace survey data back to any one individual. Your responses are confidential and your participation and honest feedback are encouraged. A high response rate helps ensure accurate results and demonstrates our commitment to our institution and the communities we serve.

Hills Market to open on Grant St. near campus
The Downtown version of the longtime local and organic food market, which has been in the works since 2011, is set to open at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19.
At 95 N. Grant Ave., the 12,000-square-foot former auto repair shop is a few blocks north of Downtown and several blocks south of the Columbus State campus, hoping to draw customers from both areas.
Like its north Columbus sibling, the Downtown market features local and organic produce and prepared foods and grocery items, as well as prepared foods that are unique to Hills Market, such as its Hills Own pizza, rotisserie chicken and meat loaf. It offers artisan cheeses and charcuterie from around Ohio and the world.
Earlier this month final touches were going into The Hills Market in a former auto repair business on Grant St.
The store also has bakery, meat, fish, dairy, deli and frozen food departments. It offers a salad bar, as well as sushi and breakfast items, such as Silver Bridge coffees from Gallipolis, Ohio. Customers can eat at indoor and outdoor seating areas.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony to open the new store will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, followed by free samples from dozens of Ohio vendors.

When Mount Ousey Public School teacher, Felicity Fitzpatrick, discovered that her 7- and 8-year-old students were gifted writers, she felt dissatisfied that no one would get the chance to see their work. To address this, she implemented iStopMotion into the classroom to give her students' writing real purpose and a more refined audience.
The intent of the project was to create an engaging and purposeful writing experience, allowing students to have almost complete creative control. Students were partnered with one another to plan and write a narrative, which was then peer edited. After the narrative was refined, a storyboard was created to use as a guide when they were animating. Finally, students used clay to shape their characters on paper backgrounds with their stories recorded aloud over the animation.
It comes as no surprise that students absolutely loved using iStopMotion! Felicity says, "A lot of them have been saying it's their favorite thing they have done this year. It was a lot of work and took quite a bit of time, but the level of engagement in the task made it totally worth it."
Students were so eager to return to their movies that when an administrative faculty member dropped by to observe a reading lesson, they asked if she could come back later!
"My kids were so excited and so happy to be at school and learning," Felicity says. "They wanted to be working on their movies all the time. They were so proud when they were finished, and now they are on YouTube. It's been pretty amazing."
Part of what makes iStopMotion so enjoyable for younger students in particular is its accessibility. In most cases, students were able to master the program after just a few demonstrations, making it possible for them to take charge of their own learning.
As an added bonus, the project has helped Felicity's students develop their writing skills in ways that even she didn't foresee. She explains, "During our reflection, a lot of them talked about how through doing the animations they saw the gaps in their writing that they hadn't realized before. They have a better understanding now of explaining things for the audience's benefit."
In addition to keeping iStopMotion as a part of the English and writing curriculum, Felicity has plans for the coming year to incorporate it into her science lessons. Given the success she and her students have had, we're expecting great things! Check out Felicity's students' work here.

The contents of certificates supported by Directory Server and many other software companies are organized according to the X.509 v3 certificate specification, which has been recommended by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), an international standards body, since 1988. Examples in this section show samples of the data and signature sections of a certificate.
Every X.509 certificate consists of the following sections.
A data section, including the following information.
The version number of the X.509 standard supported by the certificate.
The certificate's serial number. Every certificate issued by a CA has a serial number that is unique among the certificates issued by that CA.
Information about the user's public key, including the algorithm used and a representation of the key itself.
The DN of the CA that issued the certificate.
The period during which the certificate is valid (for example, between 1:00 p.m. on November 15, 2003 and 1:00 p.m. November 15, 2004).
The DN of the certificate subject (for example, in a client SSL certificate this would be the user's DN), also called the subject name.
Optional certificate extensions, which may provide additional data used by the client or server. For example, the certificate type extension indicates the type of certificate—that is, whether it is a client SSL certificate, a server SSL certificate, a certificate for signing email, and so on. Certificate extensions can also be used for a variety of other purposes.
A signature section, includes the following information.
The cryptographic algorithm, or cipher, used by the issuing CA to create its own digital signature.
The CA's digital signature, obtained by hashing all of the data in the certificate together and encrypting it with the CA's private key.
Certificate: Data: Version: v3 (0x2) Serial Number: 3 (0x3) Signature Algorithm: PKCS #1 MD5 With RSA Encryption Issuer: OU=Certificate Authority, O=Example Industry, C=US Validity: Not Before: Fri Oct 17 18:36:25 2003 Not After: Sun Oct 17 18:36:25 2004 Subject: CN=Jane Doe, OU=Finance, O=Example Industry, C=US Subject Public Key Info: Algorithm: PKCS #1 RSA Encryption Public Key: Modulus: 00:ca:fa:79:98:8f:19:f8:d7:de:e4:49:80:48:e6:2a:2a:86: ed:27:40:4d:86:b3:05:c0:01:bb:50:15:c9:de:dc:85:19:22: 43:7d:45:6d:71:4e:17:3d:f0:36:4b:5b:7f:a8:51:a3:a1:00: 98:ce:7f:47:50:2c:93:36:7c:01:6e:cb:89:06:41:72:b5:e9: 73:49:38:76:ef:b6:8f:ac:49:bb:63:0f:9b:ff:16:2a:e3:0e: 9d:3b:af:ce:9a:3e:48:65:de:96:61:d5:0a:11:2a:a2:80:b0: 7d:d8:99:cb:0c:99:34:c9:ab:25:06:a8:31:ad:8c:4b:aa:54: 91:f4:15 Public Exponent: 65537 (0x10001) Extensions: Identifier: Certificate Type Critical: no Certified Usage: SSL Client Identifier: Authority Key Identifier Critical: no Key Identifier: f2:f2:06:59:90:18:47:51:f5:89:33:5a:31:7a:e6:5c:fb:36: 26:c9 Signature: Algorithm: PKCS #1 MD5 With RSA Encryption Signature: 6d:23:af:f3:d3:b6:7a:df:90:df:cd:7e:18:6c:01:69:8e:54:65:fc:06: 30:43:34:d1:63:1f:06:7d:c3:40:a8:2a:82:c1:a4:83:2a:fb:2e:8f:fb: f0:6d:ff:75:a3:78:f7:52:47:46:62:97:1d:d9:c6:11:0a:02:a2:e0:cc: 2a:75:6c:8b:b6:9b:87:00:7d:7c:84:76:79:ba:f8:b4:d2:62:58:c3:c5: b6:c1:43:ac:63:44:42:fd:af:c8:0f:2f:38:85:6d:d6:59:e8:41:42:a5: 4a:e5:26:38:ff:32:78:a1:38:f1:ed:dc:0d:31:d1:b0:6d:67:e9:46:a8: d:c4

Video rules on the Internet. Yet podcasting, the equivalent of creating your own little pirate radio station on the Web, is still around and kicking.
Creating your own podcast is far simpler and less time-consuming that the work video takes. Getting started is a lot easier than you'd think. But you will, of course, need the right kit. Start off with the basics - a microphone, audio editing software and headphones. Once you're established, get a nice mixer. Can't decide what to get? Read on for our recommended podcasting gear.
A good mic ain't hard to find
Don't feel pressured to spend the big bucks until you're sure you're going to commit to podcasting in the long-term. Whatever the snobs or purists say, there is nothing wrong with eschewing a standalone microphone for a USB headset. Don't go for headsets that come with separate audio and mic jacks as some laptops no longer support separate mic ports.
But that doesn't mean you should be too stingy either. Something like the Plantronics Audio 628 (RM150) or the Logitech H540 (RM169) are decent headsets that offer reasonable microphone recording quality while providing noise-canceling benefits.
When you want to upgrade, there are two ways to go about it: go for a better USB mic from the likes of Blue Yeti and Samson. Or, spend more on getting proper studio mics, which will unfortunately need extra kit like a mixer. If you're podcasting on the go, USB mics like the Samson Go (US$39.99) are much easier to carry around.
If you fancy podcasting on the go, try IK Multimedia's iRig mini-microphones for iOS and Android phones.

Years in the making, Palomar Medical Center set to open for patients Sunday
The first new acute care hospital in San Diego County in nearly 20 years is due to open Sunday on the highest hilltop of western Escondido, unveiling what its creators call "the most technologically advanced hospital in California."
The 11-story, $956 million Palomar Medical Center, in the works for a decade, is owned by Palomar Health, a public hospital district that serves an 800-square-mile region of inland North County. The 288-bed facility is the first new standalone hospital in the county since Thornton Hospital's unveiling in 1994, and Palomar officials have used the opportunity to rethink nearly every element of how it will deliver care to its patients.
"The opening of the new Palomar Medical Center (marks) a new era in health care for the region with innovations and technologies that are on par with what the best hospitals across the nation have to offer," Palomar Health Chief Executive Michael Covert said.

Purpose: Recently renamed from Palomar Pomerado Health, Palomar Health is a public hospital district serving 800 square miles of inland North County with about 500,000 residents. It is governed by a publicly elected board of directors.
Facilities: Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, Pomerado Hospital in Poway, Palomar Health Downtown Campus in Escondido, two skilled nursing facilities, two outpatient facilities, two walk-in health centers at Albertsons stores, and a few other offices.
Operations: 4,000 employees, 800 affiliated physicians. Annual operating budget is $504 million.
The roots of the hospital construction date back to 1994, when the Legislature toughened up seismic standards for hospitals after the devastating Northridge earthquake. Hospitals around the state have struggled with meeting the new regulations, which will hit full stride in 2030. Like Palomar Health, many hospital systems in San Diego started by looking at how to meet the basic goal of increasing building safety to designing expansions to handle a growing and aging population.
Palomar Health first considered renovating its aging hospital in downtown Escondido — recently renamed Palomar Health Downtown Campus — then decided it made more sense to build a new hospital across town.
Construction financing
The district's $1.057 billion master plan for its facilities includes several projects, the largest being the $956 million Palomar Medical Center. Here's a breakdown of the funding:
• Proposition BB (passed by voters in 2004) general obligation bonds — $496 million
• Revenue bonds — $427.3 million
• Working capital and philanthropy — $133.7 million
The district tapped Los Angeles-based CO Architects to design a "hospital of the future" that incorporates modern health care's latest evidence-based design trends.
Design elements
Technology counts: Cisco wired and wireless technology is used throughout the hospital. Innovations include patient monitoring devices that medical personnel can access on their smartphones; call buttons used by patients notify nurses of specific needs before they arrive at the room; fully integrated electronic tracking systems for medications and electronic health records, which are becoming standard in all new hospitals. A robotic system also allows teleconferencing between patients, families and physicians.
Family matters: All patient rooms include a "family zone" with a sleeper sofa and privacy curtain. "In this building we encourage our families to stay with us," said Lorie Shoemaker, chief nurse executive.
Nurse-patient connections: All patient rooms are identical in layout and equipment to cut down on medical errors and increase efficiency. Centralized nursing stations have been replaced by alcove workstations at each patient room, so nurses are closer to the bedside. The emergency department is designed in pods consisting of patient rooms, nurses' station and staff areas so nurses can see all their patients from one spot.
Let there be light: Natural light plays an important role in the hospital. Research indicates that patients with access to light and nature use less pain medication, go home sooner and heal faster. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer expansive views. Skylights, solar tubes and atriums provide natural light throughout the hospital, even in labs, operating rooms, and the emergency department.
Going green: Los Angeles-based CO Architects designed what it calls a garden hospital with three planter-filled terraces on each floor and an undulating "green roof" the size of four football fields that is covered in native plants and visible from higher floors. The roof helps conserve energy by reducing heat absorption.
To promote safety and efficiency, all patient rooms are private and identical in layout, with handrailings from bed to bath; dedicated elevators run between the rooftop helipad and the trauma department; operating rooms cluster around a central supply room, and every surgical towel and sponge has an embedded detection sensor so they aren't left inside the patient.
To better connect patients to nurses, central nursing stations have been replaced by individual stations at each room. The patient's bedside call buttons connect to the nurse's smartphone, with buttons that specify "water," "pain," "toilet" or just needing a nurse.
And with studies indicating that exposure to natural light and the outdoors promotes faster healing, the hospital is designed with multiple landscaped terraces on every floor, huge windows and skylights throughout the building and an undulating landscaped roof over a two-story wing that the patient tower overlooks.
The 1.5-acre roof — covered with thousands of native plants and dotted with skylights — is considered something of an engineering marvel. The size of four football fields, the roof was designed not just as a visual focal point but as a major energy-saving device for the two floors below it. It also was constructed without any load-bearing interior walls to maximize the possibilities for future renovations of the first floor emergency department and the surgical suite on the second floor, which is now home to 12 operating rooms.
But it's the use of new technology that truly sets the hospital apart from the old standard, Palomar officials say.
"Health care is in serious need of a dose of innovation, and we want to set the example … about what is possible," said Orlando Portale, Palomar Health's chief innovation officer.
Starting with an advanced Cisco medical grade wired and wireless network, the hospital was able to deploy numerous next-generation tools.
For example, Palomar Health is the first health-care system in the world to fully incorporate patient-wearing monitoring devices that doctors can view from the field, Portale said, using technology by San Diego startup Sotera Wireless. Palomar is the first hospital on the West Coast to use a high-intensity xenon light machine to disinfect rooms within six minutes. The hospital also uses vGO robots that allow patients, families and the medical staff to communicate by video from any location.
All of this comes at a steep cost, $956 million, which is at the high end of the current average cost of about $2.5 million per bed to build a hospital in California, according to the California Hospital Association. In fact, Palomar Health originally estimated the cost at $750 million when it persuaded voters in 2004 to approve Proposition BB, a $496 million bond that increased property taxes within the district. The rest of the cost is covered by revenue bonds, fundraising and reserves.
When ground was broken 4½ years ago, the district faced criticism over the soaring costs and a decision to keep the top two floors as empty shells with room for future expansion.
"Construction costs at that time went out of sight, particularly steel," said Ted Kleiter, chairman of Palomar Health's board of directors. "It was escalating at such a rate that we had to protect ourselves by buying a lot of the steel ahead of time. We had to do that because who knew what would happen with the price."
Kleiter said some services didn't get put into the hospital because of cost, including women's health and a rehabilitation center. Those departments, a pediatrics unit and outpatient services will remain at Palomar Health Downtown Campus for now.
Kleiter said that opening with two unfinished top floors was not unusual. In 1970, when the district opened the McLeod Tower at its downtown hospital, two floors were left as shells. Those floors were put into use within two years, Kleiter said.
Once the top floors are put to use, the hospital will be able to accommodate 360 beds. And the 52-acre property also is sizable enough for the district to add wings to the hospital in future decades.
"This new hospital is built with the next 50 years in mind," Kleiter said.
Nathan Kaufman, a San Diego-based hospital industry consultant, said he will be interested to see how well the new Palomar Medical Center performs financially in view of the bond debts it needs to repay.
The financial scene was decidedly different when Palomar Health was planning the hospital, Kaufman said. Current cuts to Medi-Cal hadn't taken place, the federal
That's been true in Escondido. At the downtown hospital, the occupancy rate for inpatients went from 79 percent in the 2007-2008 fiscal year to about 70 percent last fiscal year, according to state records.
"So, while new patients will be attracted to the new hospital, market forces will play against that," Kaufman said.
Kleiter said the district built the new hospital primarily to serve district residents, but will market the facility regionally to attract patients from other areas.
"North County has been the growth area in San Diego County for the last couple of decades, and there's no reason to think that won't continue," he said. "We have a geographic area to serve, and that's our priority. The people of our district deserve the highest level of care that's available in the county and across the country. But are we marketing to the general public? Yes, of course we are."
The hospital most likely to feel the heat of competition is Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, Kaufman said, since larger systems such as Scripps Health and Sharp HealthCare are focused in other areas of the county, although Scripps does have a hospital that it is expanding in Encinitas.
Tri-City also is run by a public hospital district, which failed three times in recent years to persuade voters to pass bond measures to help pay for upgrades and expansion. Tri-City now has a phased plan to essentially build a new hospital next to the existing one, which won't meet state earthquake standards by 2030. The district has pegged the cost at almost $600 million, and most of its funding would be borrowed.
Larry Anderson, Tri-City's chief executive, said, "I'm not at all afraid that Palomar is opening a new hospital. We'll do just fine. And unlike Palomar, we are debt free."
Anderson said Tri-City has received good quality ratings on independent surveys and has expanded its surgical services by purchasing the latest versions of two robotics systems and recruiting doctors skilled in using them. "We have well-developed service lines that compare favorably in this market," he said.
Whatever the future holds, today Palomar Health is focused on its Sunday morning opening. Palomar Medical Center's emergency and trauma departments are scheduled to open at 7 a.m. sharp, and 18 ambulances are reserved to transport inpatients from the downtown facility to the new steel-and-glass hilltop hospital.
"Palomar Health had a vision to forever change the way health care is provided and the people we serve placed their trust in us to make it happen," said Gerald Bracht, chief administrator of the new hospital. "We are delivering on that promise."

Obama, race and class
Martin Luther King Jr. and Barack Obama, the two most important black leaders in American history, operated in vastly different eras and political arenas — under a strikingly similar set of ground rules.
King and Obama — born 32 years apart — both learned that an African-American leader needs to link racial equality to the broader cause of economic justice that included white, working- and middle-class Americans in order to avoid failure, backlash and marginalization.
Story Continued Below
To that end, Obama will spotlight his fallen hero's unfinished economic agenda when he celebrates the 50th anniversary of King's 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech on Wednesday, leveraging an event most Americans view as strictly a racial milestone into something bigger — and more useful to a struggling president: A rationale for his second-term agenda.
( PHOTOS: 20 March on Washington moments)
Obama's ability to blend class and race messages — to select the most aspirational elements of each — is a key to understanding his success. It's his go-to power move, the political equivalent of a LeBron crossover dribble, the strategy that helped him bridge the gap between prophet and president.
"For Obama, economics is a safe way to talk about race," said Taylor Branch, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of a three-volume history of the King era widely regarded as the definitive chronicle of the civil rights movement.
"Even though he's the first black president, he's in a tiptoe stance on race — that's a phrase I borrowed from King's 'Letter from a Birmingham Jail.' It makes him nervous. He can't even ask the most basic question which he's begging to ask: To what degree is the partisan gridlock that is frustrating his attempts to govern racially driven?" says Branch.
( WATCH: Martin Luther King III at the Realize the Dream March and Rally)
"I'm not blaming him … The slightest mention of race could alienate the millions of white Americans who voted for him," he added.
Jesse Jackson, who more than anyone occupies the no man's land between his mentor King and Obama, the man who won the political office he prized, told POLITICO he "absolutely" thinks congressional Republicans are motivated by race in opposing the president's policies.
"The tea party is the resurrection of the Confederacy, it's the Fort Sumter tea party," Jackson said.
( PHOTOS: Realize the Dream March and Rally)
Republicans vehemently refute such accusations. And none of the half-dozen top Obama aides interviewed for this article and others over the past few months say they have ever heard the president suggest race is a factor in GOP opposition, even though he has repeatedly said publicly that he thinks his opposition reflexively blocks his policies because his name is associated with them.
"Bill Clinton was a white guy from the country, and they were just as vituperative," said one veteran Obama adviser. "But I don't know what the president thinks about it."
Team Obama is not a deeply sentimental group, nor is it inclined to make big, dramatic gestures without a clear political upside. That's why the West Wing has thus far brushed off suggestions Obama make a symbolic trip to the predominantly black, bankrupt city of Detroit — because "there's not a goddam we can do right now to help them," according to one Obama hand.
( Also on POLITICO: Lewis: King asked to tone down March speech)
While they see today's event as a moment to take stock of racial progress, they are even more intent on refocusing the political conversation ahead of this fall's budget battles, intent on reiterating the Barack's-on-your-side economic message that propelled Obama to a convincing victory over Mitt Romney. The purpose, aides tell POLITICO, is less about turning the clock back to August 1963 than to November 2012.
Obama likely will tie King's goals with Obama's first-term achievements (health care reform, infrastructure investment, the Lilly Ledbetter pay equity act) with his second-term agenda (hiking taxes on the wealthiest taxpayers, passing immigration reform, cutting the cost of college, funding some kind of infrastructure and jobs bill).
King's speech and the march on Washington, Obama recently told The New York Times, "is part of my generation's formative memory … [A]fter the Trayvon Martin case, a lot of people have been thinking about race, but I always remind people — and, in fact, I have a copy of the original program in my office, framed — that that was a march for jobs and justice; that there was a massive economic component to that.
"When you think about the coalition that brought about civil rights, it wasn't just folks who believed in racial equality; it was people who believed in working folks having a fair shot," he said.
Obama has always been focused on broad economic equality as the best way to deal with lingering racial injustice. King, by contrast, operated in a fundamentally different era — one with Bull Connor's fire hoses, segregated lunch counters and lynchings — and he couldn't begin to address larger economic issues without first tackling segregation and overt racism.
"Dr. King is not [Obama's] standard," says Jackson. "Obama is in the lineage of Kennedy and Johnson, not of the prophets and preachers."

No-Violence Alliance picks up COMBAT support
New partnership won't take money away from COMBAT operations
Kansas City's new No Violence Alliance project, a crackdown on violence in the city, is about to pick up a familiar partner in Jackson County's Community-Based Anti-Drug Tax, known as COMBAT.
COMBAT has been known to pay for drug raids, similar to the raid that the No Violence Alliance conducted last week to go after violent criminals.
Supporters said using the anti-drug sales tax program brings in a known commodity.
"People understand what COMBAT is and what it does, and they know a phone number," said Jackson County legislator Dan Tarwater.
"We have a lot of agencies that are already dealing with the problems, so we're a face they know," said Vince Ortega of COMBAT.
COMBAT generates about $19 million per year, more than half of which goes into prosecuting crimes. The new alliance will not shift any money away from existing COMBAT programs.
"Because COMBAT does fund a portion of the Prosecutor's office, and the neighborhood prosecution team, that's part of NOVA, so there is a big element to it," said COMBAT Director Stacey Daniels Young.
Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said there will be a COMBAT door hanger going out to neighborhoods soon to encourage people to report crimes.
"This is about saying, 'Don't look the other way. Don't tolerate violence in your community,' Because we are not going to," she said.
"Make sure they understand they're not out here alone. They can get help. It's a call-out," said Ortega.
"It's not that difficult to do," said Capt. Steve Young of the Kansas City Police Department. "It doesn't take a lot of effort to call the police."
The Jackson County anti-drug sales tax dates back to 1989. Since then, other communities have used the Kansas City COMBAT model to set up anti-drug programs of their own.

Consumer behavior is triggered by the context or occasion one is in as well as by one's mood, habits and emotions. Correspondingly, purchase decisions are influenced by both the external and the internal factors of the context consumers are in. Yet we keep on conducting survey research without taking these context elements into account. The majority of survey research projects are filled out by participants who are supposedly sitting at their computer, but we are missing out on any information on their contextual background.
If context has such an impact on our decisions, why do we not take it into account when measuring concept performance? Together with Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE), a multinational tea and coffee company, we tested a new mobile survey approach to test the impact of context in concept validation research.

Teen suffers health problems after receiving HPV vaccine
Doctor says benefits outweigh risk of side effects
The HPV vaccine, commonly given to girls and boys as early as 9 years old, has caused controversy because some people have experienced side effects.
The vaccine aims to prevent human papillomavirus, which can lead to genital warts and cervical cancer.
One mother said after her daughter had the vaccine, it caused side effects so dire that it not only affected her health, but it changed her life.
"It was easy to be her mother. She was an excellent student, straight As. She's a musician. She plays guitar," Tracie Moorman said about her daughter, Maddie Moorman.
After Maddie Moorman received the vaccine, she had debilitating migraine headaches, nausea, insomnia and difficulties processing information, something she calls "brain chaos."
"Everything is just kind of foggy. I'm always in a little bit of a muggy state where my head hurts," Maddie Moorman said.
"I've lost track of how many days of school that she's missed since all of this started," said Tracie Moorman.
She said her daughter is now home-schooled in the afternoons, unable to physically or mentally handle a full day of classes. She said she's also developed several food allergies, too.
"There are 20 foods that I cannot eat," Maddie Moorman said. "Soy, meat, wheat, dairy, nuts. That alone eliminates a lot of food."
She said she has to take 13 supplements every day just to get through the day.
Tracie Moorman said she blames the changes on the HPV vaccine.
"I think that whatever it is in the vaccine that has caused the body to go into chaos has to be eliminated, one way or the other," she said.
Dr. Christopher Harrison has researched the HPV vaccine and said he strongly recommends it to his patients. He said the vaccine's ability to prevent cervical cancer outweighs any reported side effects.
"It's hard for me to see the risk is anywhere close to the benefits we're going to get out of this. It's actually one of the safest vaccines that's ever been produced," he said.
Tracie Moorman wants every parent to research the vaccine before making any decision.
"You're not a bad parent if you decide to get the vaccine for your child, just like you're not a bad parent if you decide not to get the vaccine," she said.
Maddie Moorman said she won't let her health stop her from pursuing a career in music and psychology. She said she also encourages teenagers to think about the decision to have the vaccine.
