Many of the shows gracing The New Victory's stage next season have been translated directly from page to stage (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Mr. Popper's Penguins, Elephant & Piggie's We are in a Play, The Way Back Home, Oh Boy!, Grug and the Rainbow, ). If your kids are looking for a bit of reading inspiration, check them out of your local library before visiting the New Vic! Unsure of where your local library is? You can find one nearby here.

The House approved the FY2006 agricultural appropriations bill. The good news is that it would provide $99.65 billion for programs operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Food and Drug Administration. The bad: it will cost $99.65 billion.
As a longtime Washington lobbyist for a major commodity organization once said, people are always happy for the government to give them "stuff." But this gift couldn't come at a worse time for farm organizations.
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., has announced he will hold hearings on the 2007 farm bill this fall. And Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns has said USDA will conduct a series of listening sessions on the new farm bill beginning soon.
Since you can't limit testimony at the hearings and listening sessions to farmers, you can bet farm program critics will be holding up the $100 billion spending figure as an example of what's wrong with farm programs.
And it won't help that the FY06 spending bill contains less funding for conservation programs than last year's although congressional leaders and administration officials touted the 2002 farm bill for its "greenness."
Congress has, in fact, cut conservation programs by $3.8 billion since the passage of the 2002 farm bill, according to the American Farmland Trust.
The farm bill signed by President Bush in May 2002 was supposed to include $13 billion in additional spending for conservation programs through 2007 — 80 percent more than the amount authorized in the 1996 farm bill.
Shortly after the House passed the FY 06 ag appropriations bill 408-18, the American Farmland Trust, the Soil and Water Conservation Society, the Soil Science Society of America and the National Association of Conservation Districts sent a letter to the Senate Agricultural Appropriations Subcommittee asking it to restore the cuts.
The latter is expected to take up the fiscal year 2006 agricultural appropriations bill on June 21 with the full Senate Appropriations Committee scheduled to consider the bill two days later.
The conservation groups note that the spending cuts, which they said could total $464 million in FY 06, are being made while surveys indicate that 85 percent of voters say they are willing to pay farmers for conservation practices on working lands.
The House bill increases funding for the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service by $35 million to $849 million, the Agricultural Research Service by $164 million to $1.124 billion, Farm Service Agency salaries by $25 million to $1 billion and provides $1.250 billion for the PL-480 program.
House members also defeated attempts to eliminate $200 million for the Market Access Program, cut the sugar loan program by the equivalent of 6 percent and remove a provision delaying the implementation of mandatory country-of-origin labeling of meat products.
But it's the conservation programs that the Environmental Working Groups, the Defenders of Wildlife and the Sierra Clubs will use to beat up on farm programs in the months between now and 2007.

Sunshine! My seedlings in the east window have grown and look healthy: two varieties of tomatoes, green pepper, alyssum, and four colors of lobelia. Much to my surprise I had to special order lobelia as I could not find seeds, tiny as dust, in either Devils Lake or Grand Forks. Thanks to Google, I found two sources, so I have Electric Blue, Lavender, Red, and White with blue eyes. Now the trick will be the shock when they get outside. Fortunately, the flowers are low growers, so the wind won't beat them up.
I love to grow things; kids, animals, plants, and ideas. I am not alone in my faith in the earth and the physical and mental health found in forgetting about myself and focusing on nurturing other living things.
Growing plants and people produces beautiful, bountiful, and lasting harvests. Be grateful.
Sunshine! Spring is here and my seedlings are thriving in the east window. Two varieites of tomatoes and green peppers will enhance our summer table, and likely provide for the resident bunny and deer that pass through the yard. We have decided we have so much that it is OK to share some of our abundance with the furred neighbors.
I like alyssum and lobelia as fillers in pots of begonias and geraniums. Starting them inside is a new adventure for me, so I am thrilled that they are doing well. Much to my surprise, I could not find lobelia seed in Devils Lake or Grand Forks, but thanks to Google, I found suppliers and now have seedlings for Electric blue, white with blue centers, lavender, and red. I'm eager to see the red, as I have not seen those in garden centers.
The real test will come when they are set out and meet the prairie wind. Fortunately, these are low growing flowers, so the wind will not be so hard on them. It takes hardy plants and people to stand up to the winds of life.
I like to grow things: kids, animals, plants, ideas. I do not understand people who do not have in interest or do not like any of those living things, although I know a few (most of them are self-absorbed and bored/boring).
"There is something about caring for the plant world that makes us more apt to behave well in the human world. My mother reminds me what it is to be of the earth and to fight for the Earth, not by way of bumper stickers and committee meetings and petititons, but by just planting and tending and weeding and never giving up on even a broken bit of spider plant. I see that in my son now, too---happy with dirt in his green rubber boots and a watering can and a watermelon seed. The earth and the garden have rooted us all to one another when nobody was looking. We cultivate our garden and let life take it from there." Dahlia Lithwick, in Slate.com
This thought reminded me of the time I found a broken piece of geranium that we had tossed on the compost pile, blooming in August. I felt so guilty that I had thrown it out, that I had not recognized the life force in it, that I potted it up immediately, fertilized it, and set it in the sun. Maybe that is why I became a teacher: never give up on a kid. Give them some enrichment, encouragement, and, some sunshine. Enjoy the bloom.
Our son and daughter in California, both garden, albeit in limited space. Christi and her daughter raised herbs, veggies and flowers. Bill wants his kids to understand where food come from and to feel pride in growing and eating what they grow, so even though his yard has limited space, they plant cucumbers, tomatoes, a few stalks of corn, and a few small melons. Locally, our Jim loves trees. He asks for a birthday present of an apple tree. They all know that dirt on ther fingernails is a good thing. Jim's daughters learned last summer to make apple sauce from the harvest they brought us. They and cousin Sarah from California picked raspberries in our back yard, and made jam, much of which they took home for their families.
Sarah and Jim's Olivia and i sat on the deck, listening to birds sing, and snapped the beans the girls picked. Back at home, Sarah wrote an essay on snapping beans with Grandma and Cousin Olivia as one of her happy memories. It is a joy to pass on the sense of family and to experiece "the earth and garden have rooted us all to one another...."

Logitech Harmony 890 Pro Remote Control Review
"Honey, where is the remote for the cable box? I have the TV, sound, and DVD remotes, just no TV!" How familiar does that sound in your household? It's an everyday occurence in mine. There is always one of four missing. Whether the kids misplaced it or the dog hid it under the couch, it still comes up missing. Then there is the hassle of using four remotes to access the entertainment system. It gets old really fast. Is there a solution to the problem? Sure there is. You could head down to the local big box store and pick up an all in one remote that works on some of your system but not the rest, even though it should. What if I were to tell you there really is a solution to the problem, would you be interested? I was! I have always been skeptical about something that says it does it all, so here we go. The Logitech Harmony 890 Pro series is supposed to be able to control devices in multiple rooms without a line of sight to the device. According to the literature, it can set up macros to start up and shutdown all the devices needed for a specific task, such as watching a DVD or just the TV. Will this be the one stop shop for all of my remote needs? Let's find out.
Logitech was founded in 1981 in Switzerland. The company originally focused on mice, but soon moved into other arenas. Logitech has focused on that last inch between you and your computer, console and entertainment system. "With products sold in almost every country in the world, Logitech's leadership in innovation now encompasses a wide variety of personal peripherals (both cordless and corded), with special emphasis on products for PC navigation, gaming, Internet communications, digital music and home-entertainment control."
Closer Look:
The box the product is sold in is the familiar green and white Logitech box. The front of the box shows the remote, while the rear of the box shows some of the features of the remote. The side panel illustrates the product without any details. Opening the flip open panel, the product is displayed prominently with the line of sight features highlighted.
After slipping the product out of the box, the product is set into a form fitting velvet like enclosure. The covering slips off and the shell splits into 2 pieces. The upper shell contains the charger bay and remote, while the lower shell includes the power supply and software.

Deepcool Ice Matrix 400 Review
I recently had the privilege of doing a review on the Deepcool Gamer Storm, which was a great looking heatsink that performed well, was easy to install, and isn't as costly as what you can find on the market. Rapidly making their way into the highly competitive computer cooling market, Deepcool is offering a wide range of cooling products from heatsinks, VGA and chipset coolers, to hard drive coolers. The signature but subtle black and blue colors of their fans give the origin of each of their products away with a quick glance from an experienced eye. The Deepcool Ice Matrix 400 is a compact tower cooler that takes advantage of four, 6mm heatpipes through an array of densely packed fins. Without giving too much away, it's time to move along to the closer look. In this review, I will provide an in-depth evaluation of the Deepcool Ice Matrix 400 from product presentation, un-boxing, the product itself, installation, and an intense testing.
Closer Look:
The Deepcool Ice Matrix 400 is packaged in a white cardboard box that has a window in the front that displays the heatsink, underneath the Ice Matrix 400 label. The blue Deepcool logo appears in the top left of the front of the box. Underneath the front window are five icons that describe features about the heatsink, such as its copper base, PWM control and that it is compatible with Intel and AMD. The right side of the package lists the AMD and Intel socket compatibility, which include anything Intel 775/1156/1366 and AMD AM3/AM2+/AM2. This is pretty much the standard for all heatsinks now. The rear of the package lists all of the typical specifications, such as dimensions, weight, and information about the fan including voltage, current, RPM, and noise levels. I will go into more detail about these later in the review. Finally, the left side of the box only has a picture of the Ice Matrix 400 and the text "Patented De-Vibration Fan".
Deepcool manages to package a lot of extra stuff into the box. There are three individual boxes inside that contain the fan, the back plates and fan connectors, and the mounting clamps. Deepcool also supplies a small tube of thermal paste along with two sets of fan clips. Included is a 4-pin splitter cable that allows for an additional fan to run off one connector, and there is also a 7v Molex adapter in case the user chooses to run a lower voltage to the fan(s). I noticed that the mounting system is identical to that of the Gamer Storm, which means there is no back plate for 1366. I will explain how this works later in the review.
Now that I've got everything out of the box, it's time to take a look at the heatsink in a little more detail.

BOURBONNAIS — For the third consecutive year, the Minooka Indians girls basketball team entered a regional title game. For the third straight year, the Indians leave victorious, this after a 41-33 victory over the host Bradley-Bourbonnais Boilermakers Thursday night — sending Minooka to the sectional tournament next week at Normal West High School.
For the second year in a row, the Indians came in with a losing record, but also on a hot streak heading into the postseason. Having to play three games in four days, this one proved to be extra special for Minooka, who improves to 14-17 with the victory.
"I told the girls before the regional started that as an 11-17 team, people weren't going to give you a lot of credit," Minooka coach Ray Liberatore said. "So to come out here and win this one really shows the character and toughness of our seniors."
Minooka did it with defense, Thursday, as they held the Lady Boilermakers to just two points in the second quarter, this after going down 10-8 after the first eight minutes of action.
"I think our team works hard and we didn't let them catch the ball easily on defense tonight," freshman Sydney Arlis said, who finished with eight points on the night. "They really weren't able to take any easy shots on us all night tonight."
"In order to get that plaque, you have to play good defense," Liberatore added. "And I think our girls did a great job of that tonight, especially in the second quarter."
Arlis, along with senior Larissa McClemen, led the way offensively for the Indians. McClemen had a huge game, as her 14 points and 9 rebounds paced Minooka from the opening tip.
"I felt like I really had to step it up and really work for it tonight," McClemen said. "We as a team were really able to get good shots and control the game."
After taking a 20-12 lead into the half, the Indians came out even stronger in the third, building their lead up to 13. They ultimately took a 31-20 lead into the fourth, which is where Bradley-Bourbonnais turned it on.
With their season on the line, the Boilers rallied, eventually cutting it to a slim 37-33 lead for the Indians late in the third. In the end, though, the deficit was too much to overcome, as key free throws from senior Sydney Lilly and sophomore Kelly Carnagio iced the game for Minooka, giving them the regional victory.
"I can't say enough about Sydney Lilly," Liberatore said. "We ask her to do so much as a point guard as well as Sam Wurtz, who came back from an ACL injury and has given us some quality minutes this year."
This is the third straight regional championship for the lady Indians, as they continue on the recent success this program has had. Before their first of the three regional wins in 2011, Minooka hadn't won a regional since 1980, so three in a row is something of a rarity for the Indians.
"It feels great," as McClemen simply put it.
"I'm glad for the seniors and I really wanted to make it memorable for the seniors," Arlis added. "It was a really great win for us."
Now with another regional title under their belt, Minooka heads to the sectional tournament at Normal West, looking to take it another step and win at least one sectional game.
"Obviously when you get to sectionals, the team you're going to play is going to be very good," Liberatore said. "We have to play better than we have already, but were ready for the challenge."
Indians complete three-peat

Heyward, Simmons pace Braves past Phillies
ATLANTA (AP) For all that Jason Heyward did well, his diving catch in the eighth inning felt the best.
Heyward homered and drove in two runs, Andrelton Simmons had two RBIs, and the Atlanta Braves won their third straight game with a 6-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.
"If they keep having (at-bats), maybe they put up another run or two," Heyward said. "Defense is going to win the game at the end of the day, but it's good to score runs, and it got us going a little bit."
Returning from the All-Star break, the Braves moved one game ahead of Washington in the NL East. Last-place Philadelphia dropped 11 games behind Atlanta.
Jimmy Rollins led off the eighth with a walk against Jordan Walden, the third Atlanta pitcher, but was thrown out at second base on Chase Utley's strikeout. Heyward, the right fielder, then charged in to make a diving catch of Ryan Howard's liner.
"You get so used to seeing him make those kinds of plays," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of the 2012 Gold Glove winner. "That's why for me he might be the best right fielder, if not in the (majors), definitely in the National League."
The game was played in a steady drizzle, but the rain had nearly stopped when Braves closer Craig Kimbrel earned his 30th save in 34 chances. He got Marlon Byrd on a groundout and struck out Grady Sizemore and Cody Asche.
Ervin Santana (8-6) gave up six hits, three walks and four runs – three earned – in six innings to win for the third time in four starts. He struck out one.
Phillies starter A.J. Burnett (6-9) allowed six runs, 10 hits – the last nine with two out – and one walk in five innings. He had five strikeouts as Philadelphia lost its third straight.
Burnett was clearly mad at himself as he walked off the field after the fifth.
"Six runs in five innings pretty much nails it on the head," he said. "I was in counts where I should have made pitches and I didn't. That's the bottom line. I made pitches to get to that point, didn't make pitches after that. I don't have excuses. I didn't get it done."
The Phillies led 2-0 in the second on Asche's sacrifice fly and Cameron Rupp's RBI single, but they trailed 4-2 in the bottom half after Heyward hit his ninth homer, B.J. Upton had an RBI single, and Simmons drove in two runs with a double.
Atlanta made it 6-2 in the fifth on RBI singles by Heyward and Tommy La Stella.
"They clumped (hits) together and put the four runs and two runs up in that fashion," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Not the start we wanted the second half. We had some good at-bats, though."
Philadelphia cut the lead to 6-4 in the sixth. Rollins reached on first baseman Freddie Freeman's fielding error and moved to third on Utley's double. Both runners scored on Howard's broken-bat, two-run bloop single.
NOTES: Atlanta requested unconditional release waivers before the game on former All-Star 2B Dan Uggla. The Braves still owe Uggla, who hit .162 with two home runs and 10 RBI in 130 at-bats this year, over $18 million through the end of next season. … Gonzalez said C Evan Gattis, on the disabled list with a back injury, is scheduled to get about 12 at-bats over the next three days and play in the field for two games as he continues a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett. If he has no setbacks, Gattis will be activated for Monday's game against Miami. … Phillies LHP Cliff Lee, after missing nine weeks with a strained left elbow, says he is ready to return to the rotation for his start Monday at home against San Francisco. … The Braves recalled utility man Tyler Pastornicky to take Uggla's spot on the 25-man roster.

Games Santa can count on to please the "E" crowd
Since mid October, video games for all platforms have been launching faster than a yellow angry bird (aka "missile bird") can cut through wooden blocks to destroy egg-stealing pigs. Word is even Santa and his elves are having difficulty keeping up with the barrage of releases this holiday season.
To assist Santas everywhere, we've organized new releases by gaming platform, rating and price. If you've got a gamer on your Christmas list, take note on the latest and greatest.
Wanna game that everyone can play on Christmas morning? Look for the big "E" on these holiday releases.
Touted as the most realistic driving game available, Microsoft's Forza 4 ($59.99) features an engine-revving soundtrack, authentic racetracks in varying conditions and a variety of cars. A favorite feature: Audiovista mode, which allows players bumper-to-bumper examination of 24 cars. Just a few weeks ago an IGN Pack was launched that includes 10 brand new cars, including turbo-charged new rides like the 2011 Monster Sport Suzuki SX4 and the classic 1957 Maserati 300 S. The pack is free for those with a Forza Season Pass, available at the Xbox Marketplace or retailers for $29.99.
No doubt the whole holiday crowd at your house will love Forza 4. Other "E" releases are more targeted to a specific age and interest, such as Skylanders. Reviewed Oct. 27, this game for the Xbox and Wii is worth another mention. It's a game with Pokemon-like action figures that your gamer ages 5-11 can collect. The figures are placed on a magic "portal of power" and appear on the game screen. Their universe-saving actions are stored for future game-play. The game, portal and action figures (which make great stock stuffers) cost about $70.
Xbox with Kinect has released another Kinectimals ($43) allowing players to interact virtually with animals but just more of them than the first Kinectimals. The original award-winning game let's players cuddle with cubs of all kinds; the new game introduces play with bears, pandas included. Ahhhh.
There are several "E" games recently released available in multiple platforms – uDraw Studio: Instant Artist, Sonic Generations and Nicktoons MLB.
uDraw (Wii, Xbox and PS3 for $29.99-$80, depending on platform and bundle with necessary drawing tablet) allows artists to use touch gestures to imagine and create. There are gaming modes but also options to create and save masterpieces to a udraw Web site for printing and sharing from the PC.
Sega's blue hedgehog, Sonic, is back for high-speed action as he escapes "white space," moving through history in Sonic Generation to free himself and his friends from the tactics of an evil Dr. Eggman. Find it on Xbox, 3DS and PSP for $50.
SpongeBob enters the holiday lineup in Nicktoons MLB ($30), a baseball video game pitting Nicktoons characters against MLB greats. For those of us who deplore SpongeBob, we can play as a Major League characters. Cute and fun play for young baseball lovers with minimal SpongeBob dialogue!
The holidays wouldn't be merry without Mario. The Renaissance man of the gaming world races cars and conquers worlds this holiday season. In Mario 3D Land ($40) he races through eight levels from flagpole to flagpole, moving through colorful worlds and conquering one challenge after another and gaining points. It's classic Mario with an ending in a dungeon to beat the "boss." In Mario Kart 7 (3DS and Wii), the mustached hero drives to save Princess Peach from the beastly Bowser. It's a formula "Kart" game, with rides through colorful, fast and competitive tracks and including recognizable Nintendo characters that kids love.
So there's a few releases Santa can put in his sack for EVERYONE who loves games. Next week, we'll discuss new releases for teens and more mature gamers.

Oranges are alkaline, cooling, sweet, sour, moistening, and cleansing. They are alterative, antioxidant, antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral, cardiac tonic, carminative, circulatory stimulant, and immune tonic. Oranges have been used to help prevent bladder, breast, cervical, esophageal, lung, pancreatic, rectal, and stomach cancer, Orange is also used to treat arthritis, rheumatism, asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, colds, fever, flu, pneumonia, tuberculosis, arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, broken capillaries, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and constipation. Some alcoholics find that drinking fresh squeezed orange juice reduces the craving for alcohol. Their high vitamin C content helps counteract carcinogens called nitrosamines. Oranges contain beta-carotene, vitamin B1, folic acid, calcium, potassium, glutathione, and pectin.
When eating oranges, be sure to consume some of the inner membrane, where the flavonoids, including rutin, hesperidin are located.
Look for firm, heavy for their size oranges. Avoid oranges that are puffy, spongy or have soft spots. Navel oranges are considered best for eating and Valencia for juicing. Tree ripened oranges are certainly nutritionally superior. Store them in a cool place, though they do not need to be kept refrigerated. If one orange develops a mold, remove it, so others don't quickly follow suit.
Oranges are best fresh by sections, made into fruit salads, pies, sherbets, sauces, desserts, and juiced. . They can be included in fruit salads or tossed with mixed greens. The peel, also known as orange zest, is a digestive aid and popular garnish. However, oranges are often waxed, or gassed with ethylene to decompose the chlorophyll, dispelling any green color so support organic. Orange essential oil contains limonene, which has been found to shrink tumors. Those that get rashes from oranges might find this food increases the discharge of toxins, and rashes no longer occur, after the system is cleansed. Avoid excess use of oranges in cases of stomach ulcers, stomach or intestinal inflammation.

Interesting research from the PEW Research Center and Nielsen on The Rise of Apps Culture released earlier this month.
Key insights:
Of the 82% of adults today who are cell phone users, 43% have software applications or "apps" on their phones. When taken as a portion of the entire U.S. adult population, that equates to 35% who have cell phones with apps. . . . Of those who have apps on their phones, only about two-thirds of this group (68%) actually use that software. Overall, that means that 24% of U.S. adults are active apps users.
So nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults report that they are actively using apps, which the report authors seem to think is low, noting that:
Broadly, results indicate that while apps are popular among a young, tech-hungry segment of the adult cell phone using population, a notable number of adult cell phone users are not part of apps culture. Many adults who have apps on their phones, particularly older adults, do not use them, and one in ten adults with a cell phone (11%) are not even sure if their phone is equipped with apps. Moreover, apps use ranks fairly low when compared with the use of other cell phone functions such as taking pictures and texting.
I guess this is a classic glass-half-full versus glass-half-empty scenario. Is it discouraging that only 1 in 4 US adults participates in "apps culture," or is it encouraging that 82% of US adults are cell phone users, and nearly 1 in 4 are actively using applications on those phones?
Further, the data shows that age is the strongest predictor of app usage:
While 79% of 18-29 year-olds who have apps on their phones say they use them, that figure drops to 67% among 30-49 year-olds and just 50% among adults age 50 and older.
There's lots more useful stuff in the report, which is available freely: download it and check it out.

NWSB Insider and BC Lions blogger Andrew Deutschmann weighs in today on the reported possible signing by the Leo's of former Vikings WR Emmanuel Arcenaux. The chase to land the former Lions wideout began at the start of the week when Arceneaux told CKWX he has seen the light and will put his NFL pursuits on hold. Andrew says personally he'd go for it. The opportunity to get a young, bonafide CFL receiver of Arcenaux's calibre doesn't come around often.

The voluptuous singer/actress was there to be abused [ 🙂 ] by the BC crew all in name of promoting her new flick, "Baggage Claim," opening next weekend.
Besides the film, Jill made sure to discuss a number of items including the fact that she's also working on two albums, her upcoming collabos and fellow Philly-ite Meek Mills, who she says is all that.
"He's been dope for a long time and I wish him luck, and success, and focus," she said about the MMG rapper. "It's hard to transition from being the underdog and not being noticed to being noticed everywhere."
Among other things, Jill was also asked about her previous acting gigs such as HBO's "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" and why the series ended after one season.
The conversation also covered her marriage/divorce and, although she didn't go deep into the details, her beef with Anita Baker of all people.

Fire levy fails
BUCKLAND — Buckland village residents let out a resounding "no," as unofficial election results showed that a 4-mill fire and rescue levy was defeated by a 45-17 margin.
Buckland Mayor Dan Lambert said he was surprised and disappointed in the vote.
"I honestly thought the people would support it since it was for fire and rescue," Lambert said. "I didn't expect it to be defeated."
The defeat marked the second consecutive election that a fire levy in the village went down in defeat.
In November, a 2.6-mill levy was defeated by voters. The levy was designed to collect approximately $9,000 annually, with approximately $5,400 going to the Buckland Fire Department and $1,500 going to the village of Cridersville to provide EMS services.
The rest was going to be set aside for purchases of

equipment at the fire department.
Lambert said the money was needed largely because of large operating funding cuts from the state the last two years, which he said has been about $33,000 per year.
He said it was unclear currently what direction Buckland Village Council members would take, but he believed it would be at the top of the agenda during Thursday's council meeting.
"We will get together Thursday and discuss our options and see what our next step will be," Lambert said. "At this point, I don't have an answer. We will discuss it there."

First Sunday and now Thursday nights have gotten steamy with "Grey's Anatomy" on the TV airwaves.
Beauties like Kate Walsh and Patrick Dempsey, to name two, have turned medicine into a rather erotic profession.
"Everyone watches 'Grey's Anatomy' and thinks that all doctors do at hospitals is have sex," said Dr. Ryan Stanton, resident in the department of emergency medicine at the University of Kentucky.
Real-life doctors don't have the on-call sexual escapades that "Grey's Anatomy" stars do, but a lot of young doctors dress like they do -- and their sexy clothing could be hurting their patients.
That sexual message may detract from a doctor's professional demeanor and undermine the patient-doctor visit. Patients who cannot connect with their doctors may not get the best possible treatment.
Young Doctors Gone Wild
The passion of "Grey's Anatomy" seems to have infected the forthcoming generation of doctors in the same way sex has seeped into other corners of American corporate culture.
That passion could threaten the health of some patients by eroding the doctor-patient relationship.
"Medical students, house staff and physicians in practice increasingly emulate the dress of their media counterparts," said Dr. Joseph Zanga, professor of pediatrics at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C.
In step with their media counterparts, upcoming medical students and residents are rebelling against the traditional Norman Rockwell white-coat doctor's image by wearing mini skirts, rumpled oxford shirts without ties, unshaven chops, high heels, and other things that may be considered medically inappropriate.
"I think of the physician I always see walking through the clinic with shorts on and his white coat. He doesn't look like he is wearing pants," Stanton said.
Medicine is not the only industry infected by this new sexual energy. It's happening everywhere -- on Capitol Hill, perhaps even at your local news station.
"Our overall way of dress has become more casual," said Dr. Carolyn Eaton of San Antonio, Texas.
Although casual dress might now be more common among students and residents, it isn't necessarily accepted.
"Sex may sell in the media but not in a medical practice office," Zanga said.
A doctor's sexy image could cost him or her a patient's respect -- and could endanger a patient's health.
"I think that the way we dress -- along with the way we interact with patients when we're dressed this way -- is directly linked to the amount of respect we garner from them," said Dr. Amy Lewis Hennessy, an ophthalmology resident at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Va.
"We need a patient's respect in order to have them trust us as far as the medical treatment or the surgery we offer to them," she said.
Poor dress could make it more difficult for doctors to help patients.
"If your patient doesn't trust or respect you -- even if it's only based on how you dress or present yourself -- then you're immediately at a disadvantage to help that patient," said Dr. Scott Terranella, chief resident of the department of family medicine and community health at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
Professional Appearance Can Garner Patient Trust
A doctor's professional appearance and the respect he or she shows patients with that appearance is central to providing good care. The doctor-patient relationship could be compromised by what a patient considers inappropriate dress.
Patients who cannot connect with their doctors may not get the best possible treatment.
"It is our responsibility, as treating physicians, to respect their vulnerability as much as their privacy. Our dress and demeanor must reflect this caring," said Dr. Nortin Hadler, author of "The Last Well Person."
A 2005 American Medical Journal study concluded that patients overwhelmingly preferred physicians in professional attire with a white coat.
Researchers asked roughly 400 patients and visitors in a hospital waiting room to look at pictures of doctors, all dressed differently, and to state their preferences on physician attire, as well as their trust and willingness to discuss sensitive issues.
The results were clear and still hold true one year later.
"When we deny [patients] that comfort -- because they are offended by our mode of dress or behavior -- we are not giving them our best," said Dr. Cliff Saper, chairman of the department of neurology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.
Dress Codes May Restrict Independent Thinkers
The question of whether doctors should be allowed to dress freely still isn't a straightforward one.
Doctors are typically strong-willed, independent thinkers. How else could they have gotten through med school?
Clothing restrictions in such a demanding profession may feel unjust to some, particularly because recommendations differ across genders.
"I remember [my husband] complaining how unfair it was that I could just throw on slacks and a sweater while he had to fuss with a shirt, slacks and tie," said Jeannette Byers, who attended medical school alongside her husband.
Byers is now an emergency-room physician at Hackley Hospital in Muskegon, Mich.
One doctor recalled her own experience as a budding clinician.
"I was a med student in the '70s, when students argued that professionalism and competence would trump our patients' reactions to our long hair -- women and men -- men's facial hair, and sometimes casual dress," said Dr. Paula Hillard, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology and of pediatrics at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
"We bridled at any suggestions that we were any less effective as clinicians. Fast-forward to today -- students make the same arguments that their piercings, midriff-baring [outfits] and tattoos do not undermine their credibility or abilities."
But patients may argue that a doctor's ability to express himself or herself as an independent thinker does not trump a patient's comfort level.
"If I go to the ER, and the doctor walks in with a Hawaiian shirt and shorts, with long hair in a ponytail, then I feel very uncomfortable," said Jennifer Sanders, a patient from Fairfield, Mich.
Casual dress is OK in some places. But some hospitals have very strict dress codes. Many hospitals have their own dress codes that allow doctors to forego ties, for example, but that forbid open-toe shoes.
"Mayo Clinic does have a strong dress and decorum policy. Essentially it is coat and tie for men and appropriate equivalent business attire for women, both in the administrative staff and among physicians," said Lee Aase, media relations for the Mayor Clinic.
The Mayo Clinic believes attire and patient confidence are connected.
"We do not do 'Casual Fridays' or other exceptions. We see dress and decorum as a symbol of professionalism and of respect for patients and their families," Aase said.
Regardless of the house rules, doctors say the sexual implications behind sexy clothes are unprofessional and hard to ignore.
When a physician -- male or female -- is dressed somehow seductively or comfortably, "it is hard not to infer some sort of sexual message," Stanton said.
Some Doctors Welcome the Change
One well-respected and long-practicing doctor agreed that hospital dress was becoming more casual.
But he doesn't necessarily object to that change.
"I have not seen the plunging neckline," he said. "I would like to, though!"

Certain activities are permitted outside of the regular park hours (e.g. fishing, boat launch, hunting where permitted). Please check with the park before your visit if you plan to engage in an activity which requires you to be in the park before or after the posted hours.
Sandy Point State Park provides its visitors with endless memories and unforgettable stories to be passed down from one generation to the next. The park is open year round and is a site on the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network.
This 786-acre Maryland State Park is located along the Northwestern shore of the majestic Chesapeake Bay. The park's beaches and picnic areas are well known for their breathtaking scenic water views that overlook one of Maryland's true treasures, the Chesapeake Bay. The park was first opened on June 25, 1952 and has provided its guests with various activities and services ever since. Some of these activities and services include Swimming Beaches, Picnicking, Fishing, Crabbing, Boating, Hiking, Youth Group Camping, Areas of Historical Interest and Wildlife Viewing. The Park also offers a marina store and boat rentals.
Here's what's happening at Sandy Point State Park. Check out the monthly programing calendar.
Energy Efficient Upgrades Completed At Sandy Point
Energy-saving enhancements were recently completed at Sandy Point State Park. The new improvements are expected to reduce the park's energy use by 45 percent, saving kilowatt hours used by almost 400,000 per year. Read the full press release about these updates.
Wildlife viewing and bird watching are favorite pastimes for many park visitors. Sandy Point's location on the Eastern Flyway makes it an ideal location for viewing a large variety of woodland, marsh and migratory waterfowl. A park map is available at the park office. Review the "Frequently Asked Questions" page to help you plan your visit to Sandy Point.
If you have purchased a Maryland Park Service annual Passport and need information on how to obtain a magnetic entry card for access to Sandy Point, please click on the Frequently Asked Questions link for further information. Entry pass information is located in the General Information section of the Frequently Asked Questions web page.
The park's lengthy beaches located at South Beach provide plenty of room for stretching out and enjoying the sun's warmth as you dry off after swimming in the cool tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay. A portion of South Beach is protected with lifeguards from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and holidays, Memorial Day to Labor Day. A bathhouse is located near the beach and provides park users with restroom and showering facilities. Snack food, beach and picnic supplies are also available at the South Beach area of the park.

Special Notes: For the safety of our visitors, tents are not permitted. Only see through sun shelters without a bottom floor are allowed. During the late summer months there may be jellyfish.
Pets are welcome from October 1 through April 30 only. No pets are allowed from May 1 through September 30. Thank you for your cooperation.
The Corcoran Environmental Study Area or "Corcoran Woods" consists of 215 acres of forested land located on the northwest portion of Sandy Point State Park. Corcoran Woods is administered by the Maryland Park Service as a nature preserve for educational, scientific, and aesthetic purposes.
Recent visitors to Corcoran Woods have likely encountered a nearly 17-acre portion of the forest that has been cleared. This is the first step in a multi-year effort to restore and reforest portions of Corcoran that have been overrun with numerous invasive and exotic vine species that have all but choked out the native forests. Through mechanical means, a local contractor is working with park management to clear these areas and make them ready to replant with native trees in the upcoming year. Other areas will be restored and managed through the use of safe and appropriate herbicides to eliminate or control the spread of invasive vines.
This effort has been funded through a grant from the Anne Arundel County Forestry and Greening Program administered by the Chesapeake Bay Trust, in partnership with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Chesapeake & Coastal Service. For more information on the progress of this restoration effort, please contact Ranger Dorna Cooper, Park Manager at 410-974-2149.
The park's grassy picnic areas are located next to the swimming beach. Playgrounds and bathrooms are located in these areas also. Limited numbers of grills and picnic tables are available on a first come first served basis. The park's marina store, located near the boat launch ramps, offers a variety of picnic and grilling supplies.

Season beginning and ending dates, and shelter service charges
There has been a noted increase in flying insect activity, especially flies, in areas of the park closest to wet, marshy areas. This is common during the late summer months and during periods of wet weather. Some of the shelters, because of their location, may be impacted. Use of sprays, traps and insect repellants is recommended when visiting the East Beach shelter area.
Special Note: Maryland State Parks are "Trash Free". Please practice Leave No Trace principles and take your trash with you when you leave. When enjoying the outdoors, it is important to remember that we must all do our part to protect the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Sandy Point Mansion is currently under a private curatorship with the Department of Natural Resources. The curator is working to restore the building to look as it did in the 1700's when the park land was originally a farm. The mansion can be seen from the main park road but is not open to the public.
From the shores of Sandy Point State Park you can see the Sandy Point Lighthouse. The Sandy Point Shoal lighthouse was built in 1883 and features a 37-foot Empire-style, eight-sided red brick tower with a white roof and black lantern, which houses a 4th order Fresnel lens. This structure replaced an earlier Sandy Point Light that had been built on land where Sandy Point State Park is located now. The original lighthouse, a brick tower constructed in 1858, was located on shore and situated in a poor location.
The current Sandy Point Shoal Light has a wooden foundation supporting a round 35-foot-diameter cement-filled cast iron cylinder on which a 2 1/2-story brick structure rests. The structure is 24 by 24 feet with cut corners. Although not originally painted, the brick portion of the structure is now painted red. The first two stories were used as living quarters, the third level as the watch room, and the lower level within the cast iron cylinder, as a storage area for water, coal, and oil. The lighthouse was electrified in 1929 and fully automated in 1963. The lighthouse is in 5 to 7 feet of water, approximately 1000 yards east from the beach at Sandy Point State Park and approximately 1 1/2 miles north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

The Marina Store, located near the boat launch ramps, is open from mid-April through mid-October. Here you can purchase a variety of boating, fishing, crabbing and picnicking supplies. Boat fuel, ice, snacks and drinks are also available for sale. Rowboats and 6hp motorboats are also available for rent on a first come first served basis. Boat rental availability is subject to weather conditions.
Volunteers are an essential component in the overall maintenance and day-to-day operations at Sandy Point State Park. Volunteers may commit to a weekly or monthly schedule or help on an as-needed basis. Schedules are flexible and no amount of time donated is too small. Many of the bigger projects are scheduled for the evenings or on the weekends so that working volunteers and students may participate. If you are interested in volunteering at Sandy Point State Park, please call 410-974-2149.
Sandy Point State Park also offers a variety of unpaid internships for motivated students.

Sandy Point State Park is one of Maryland's most popular parks and serves a very high volume of visitors during summer weekends and holidays. To ensure the safety of our visitors and protection of the park's natural resources and facilities, the park has a limited capacity.
During periods of high visitation, when the park's capacity is reached, the park will be closed and traffic will be turned away from the park entrance. When that occurs, no additional vehicles / visitors will be allowed to enter the park, including those with members of their party who may already be in the park. If you are not traveling in the same vehicle with others in your party, we suggest that you all arrive at the same time.
Based on recent experience and visitation trends, and depending on good weather, Sandy Point State Park will likely fill to capacity and close on Memorial Day and Fourth of July holiday weekends, Labor Day weekend and many other weekends during the course of the summer. Please take this into consideration when planning your trip.
