June 12, 2003
Posted at: 10:55 a.m. CDT
NEW YORK - David Brinkley, who first gained fame as one-half of NBC's Huntley-Brinkley anchor team and for more than a half-century loomed large in the newscasting world he helped chart, has died at age 82.
Brinkley died Wednesday night at his home in Houston of complications from a fall, ABC News said Thursday.
During his career, which also took him to ABC News as host of a top-rated Sunday morning political talk show, Brinkley won 10 Emmy awards, three Peabody Awards and, in 1992, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.
Former President Bush called him "the elder statesman of broadcast journalism," but Brinkley spoke of himself in less grandiose terms.
"Most of my life," he said in a 1992 interview, "I've simply been a reporter covering things, and writing and talking about it."
Paired with Chet Huntley in the prototype anchor team, their signature signoff — "Goodnight, Chet"; "Goodnight, David" — became part of pop culture.
Based in Washington and focusing on politics, Brinkley was known for his gentlemanly manner, wry wit and occasional suffer-no-fools bluntness. Playing against such refinement were a boyish appearance and a jerky style of delivery that suggested a mild case of hiccups.
"If I was to start today I probably couldn't get a job," Brinkley once said, "because I don't look like what people think an anchorperson should look like."
Perhaps not. But in 1956, his distinctive presence was paired with craggy, leading-man-handsome Huntley for NBC News' coverage of the Democratic and Republican national conventions. It was a perfect fit.
Following that success, the two took over NBC's nightly newscast, with Huntley in New York and Brinkley in Washington. The program, at first only 15 minutes long, switched back and forth between them.
Beyond that regular report, Huntley and Brinkley led NBC as it interrupted regular programming to cover space shots, assassinations, riots and other breaking news with a thoroughness summed up by the unofficial byword "CBS plus 30 (minutes)."
With Chet and David at the helm, NBC News enjoyed ratings dominance throughout the 1960s. During the 1964 Democratic convention, NBC, up against CBS and its anchor Walter Cronkite, won an astonishing 84 percent of the viewership.
But their fame extended far beyond the realm of journalism. A consumer-research company found in 1965 that these co-anchors were recognized by more adult Americans than were John Wayne or the Beatles. They kept their famous signoff despite a mutual disdain for it.
Then in 1970, Huntley retired. He died four years later.
Brinkley co-anchored the renamed "NBC Nightly News" with John Chancellor, then became the program's commentator. But the spell was broken. "The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite" had taken the ratings lead, and NBC News had stumbled.
Entering his 60s, Brinkley in 1981 began the second act of his career by exiting the organization he had joined 38 years earlier.
He lent his heavyweight status to ABC News, a late bloomer then on the way up. There he flourished, particularly on the Sunday morning program "This Week with David Brinkley."
He stepped down as host in November 1996 but continued to do commentaries. He left amid a rare controversy, and an apology: Late on Election Night he had said unkind things about President Clinton on the air, including calling him a "bore."
Clinton sat for an interview for Brinkley's last show anyway, and after Brinkley apologized, told him: "I always believe you have to judge people on their whole work, and if you get judged based on your whole work, you come out way ahead."
Despite having been present for the creation of TV news, Brinkley insisted: "I didn't create anything. I just got here early."
Born in Wilmington, N.C., on July 10, 1920, Brinkley was still in high school when he began writing for his hometown newspaper. He was educated at the University of North Carolina and Vanderbilt University, and after Army service he worked in Southern bureaus for the United Press syndicate.
He moved to Washington, D.C., thinking a radio job awaited him at CBS News. Instead, he had landed a job four blocks away at NBC News. He became White House correspondent — NBC's first.
Not long after that, as Brinkley recounted in his 1995 memoir, "a large, odd-looking object arrived at the Washington studio ... so big it could barely be rolled through the door. It was our first television camera."
Brinkley was divorced from his first wife, Ann, in the 1960s and married Susan Benfer in 1972.
Among his four children, Alan is an American Book Award-winning historian and Joel is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.
The author of three books, Brinkley aptly summed up his career and life in the subtitle of his memoir: "11 Presidents, 4 Wars, 22 Political Conventions, 1 Moon Landing, 3 Assassinations, 2,000 Weeks of News and Other Stuff on Television, and 18 Years of Growing Up in North Carolina."
"If I were 20 years old, I would try to do the same thing again, all of it," he told a New York Times interviewer — son Joel — in a February 1997 profile. "I have no regrets. None at all."

DOLORES - There are dark undertakings among rural America. They hide under the rocky muck and mire - whispering to those who sympathize. The artists and musicians in these small towns are listening.
Sideshow Emporium and Gallery in Dolores is throwing a Rural Gothic Art and Music Show to uncover the murky, lingering effects of small-town life. Participating artists and musicians will convene on Saturday, March 23 at 8 p.m. to appreciate the artistic value of rural regions.
The show's theme was conceived by Hardison Collins, owner of the Beehive in Mancos and Heather Narwid, Sideshow Emporium owner. Collins grew up in Georgia, where he experienced a sense of past and present traditions grappling with one another. His relationship with Southern Gothic literature is what inspired the theme of the show.
"I grew up in this born again Christian revolution of sorts and it was difficult at times," Collins said. "I actually read a lot of Flannery O'Connor's work growing up and it was pleasant for me. It showed me that these things that I thought were weird have been happening forever."
Collins grew up a punk rock kid reading great American literature. The two concepts clicked for him. He sees these isolated regions as places where thwarted dreams and aspirations die. Places where certain things may happen that wouldn't necessarily happen in the big cities.
"This is about embracing the darker aspects of small town America," Collins explained. "But there are also little twinkling lights of talent and joy and it (the show) will focus on those twinkly talented lights."
Collins has been a retail shop owner for eight years. Narwid, whose quirky tastes and boutique's eccentric atmosphere, led Collins to proclaim his good friend's venue as the perfect backdrop for gothic art.
"Hardison (Collins) was sort of hinting around to like where he should have this themed art show and I said 'of course, here,' Narwid explained.
The show will feature mixed-media art from Rosie Carter that features a Hitchcock type essence. Her artwork is generally wrought with leafless trees, birds, iron fencing and moths - collectively draped against deep reds, blues and oranges.
Photography from Ole Bye will be featured in slides cascading down the walls of Sideshow. He will also be presenting a photography book full of images from the Appalachian coal mining country of West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Dustyn Lyon will also be presenting photography that is tweaked and distorted to be boldly colored and unusually filtered. Prints from Collins will also be displayed and paintings from Lara Branca that focus on the belovedly lost Hollywood Bar will be present.
Most of the artists will also double as the featured musical acts for the night. The Holy Smokers - comprised of Rosie Carter and her husband Chuck Barry - will represent the house band.
"Everyone who comes wanders around," Narwid said. "The shop will remain open during the show so people can try stuff on and help others look around. We have an outside patio, couches - good way for people to groove together."
Narwid, who carries an array of vintage clothing, accessories, hand-made items and locally made items hosts events such as this every other month. She has made a small cult following of folks in Dolores, Cortez and Mancos who are loyal to her wares and dig on her store's vibe. Collins has maintained the same type of crowd. Narwid expects at least 70 people to come and go.
The music will be one night only but the art will remain on display through Thursday, April 4. The event will wrap up around 11 or 11:30 p.m. depending on the crowd.
"We don't ever issue an end time to these things because sometimes people like to stay just to hang out," Narwid said.
Collins is looking forward to entertaining the idea of light and dark sides of America's most unexplored places. To him, gothic does not represent the black lined lips of an angsty teenager, but more of a worn down existence.
"This place reminds me so much of Georgia because there are these empty spaces from the past that remain attached to this frontier concept," Collins said. "It's sort of like the past and present are competing with each other. This subject resounds with me."
Collins and Narwid will be at Sideshow Saturday night discussing more of their ideas regarding rural America and its hidden, often dark, characteristics. The show is free for anyone interested in experiencing the strange, dark, almost mythical aspect of small town America.

Matthew Stevens - [email protected]
STARKVILLE -- Devon Bell's attitude isn't like most kickers and that might just be his problem.
The Mississippi State sophomore kicker isn't always calm and doesn't have a casual view of life and his job on the football field. He wants badly to be a incredibly reliable field goal kicker and that burning desire is what his coach feels like is his hurdle to becoming a signature weapon for MSU in 2013.
"Devon is a big effort guy and kicking is a skill," MSU coach Dan Mullen said. "That's something we constantly talk about: Is the skill related to the effort? Sometimes he starts trying harder and harder."
Bell's constant searching for answers has led to confounding statistics from field goals from 30-39 yards away, arguably the most common field goal attempts in football. From that specific distance range, Bell is currently 6-of-12 in 16 career games including missing a 35-yard attempt wide right in the first quarter Saturday in a 24-20 loss at Auburn.
"It's not a mental problem I need to overcome, I'm not nervous and I'm not thinking about other things," Bell said Monday. "I'm simply kicking the ball too hard, period. It's an easy fix."
So in Bell's mind the "easy fix" can be corrected before MSU (1-2) takes the field to host Troy (2-1) Saturday night at Davis Wade Stadium (6:30 p.m., FSN South). However, Mullen has concerns
Bell actually has a better percentage on field goals beyond 40 yards (5-of-8) in his college career and was recruited to MSU from Warren Central High School in Vicksburg for the strength of his leg.
Mullen, who has coached the special teams in a staff effort, compared Bell's struggled with mid-range field goals to skill of swinging a golf club in terms of the rhythm and consistency required.
"The harder you try to swing (a golf club) when you get frustrated, the more sideways it's going to go," Mullen said. "As a effort guy, he's got to stop the effort and focus on the skill and it's sometimes hard to do for a young player."
Bell is actually a avid and proficient golfer and compared his mentality on mid-range field goals as standing on the tee overlooking a very difficult par-4 hole.
"It's like pulling driver on a tight par-4 and then trying to hit the ball as hard as you can," Bell said of his current mindset on all field goals. "Who cares how far the ball goes if it's not straight?"
Out of high school, Bell was named first-team All-America selection by Sports Illustrated. His best prep game was where he connected on four field goals, including a career-long 55 yard attempt against Jim Hill High School and his strong leg made him an easy selection to participate in the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Game, where he connected on a 30-yard field goal. Bell was the first kicker recruited by Mullen's staff at MSU and eventually decided to stay at home by picking Mississippi State over Ole Miss, Auburn or Florida State.
While he was at MSU's Big Dawg Camp two years ago, former MSU kicker Brian Hazelwood was a guest instructor and instantly saw the raw tools that Mullen and the MSU staff saw in Bell. He also saw a mentality that's just different than a normal kicker.
"I love his mentality because if he misses a kick, he's out of his mind but he wants to go harder, harder, harder but sometimes you have to work on the skill aspect and not the effort," Mullen said.
Last season as a freshman Bell set three individual season records by hitting 14-of-21 field goals, 43-of-44 PATs and averaged 60.3 yards on 64 kickoffs, with 13 touchbacks.He finished the 2012 regular season seventh in scoring among true freshmen in Football Bowl Subdivision programs with 85 points.
The MSU sophomore kicker understands he must turn around this slump because he's going to be asked at least once in the final nine games to attempt a incredibly important kick where it'll be thousands of fans watching him alone. MSU walk-on kicker Evan Sobiesk has only attempted and converted on two extra point attempts in his college career.
"I get that I'm the one that's got to put the ball through the uprights for my team and put points on the board," Bell said. "That's my job."
One of Mullen's favorite things about Bell is his mentality to demand he be treated like a football player and not just a kicker as the specialists have a tendency to be looked upon as independently contracted from the team.
"I've always been a competitive, Type-A personality and that's just how I'm comfortable feeling about life," Bell said. "It's the most difficult thing for me to dial back the effort in order for better results. Not too many things are that way in this world."
However, now that he's on campus as the only scholarship kicker on the roster, Mullen would like Bell to rein back on his intensity as he tries to overcome his slump on mid-range kicks.
"He has a very strong leg. With him, it's that consistency," MSU's fifth-year head coach said. "He just needs to have a nice, smooth consistent leg swing. That leg swing will make the field goals. He doesn't need to kick it like a kickoff every time."

Tuesday's Massachusetts ballot questions
Massachusetts voters will consider three statewide ballot questions.
But Question 1, "Availability of Motor Vehicle Repair Information," the so-called "right to repair" law, has become moot since a compromise agreement was passed by the Legislature in July after the ballot question was approved. Both advocates and opponents of requiring automobile makers to provide buyers of new automobiles and their favored car repair shop to have the same diagnostic information as automobile dealers do are urging a "no" vote on this question.
Question 2, "Prescribing Medication to End Life," is a relevant question on the statewide ballot, however.
The proposed law would allow a physician licensed in Massachusetts to prescribe medication, at a terminally ill patient's request, to end that patient's life. It would require certain circumstances, however. To qualify, a patient would have to be an adult resident who is mentally capable of making and communicating health care decisions; has been diagnosed by attending and consulting physicians as having an incurable, irreversible disease that will, within reasonable medical judgment, cause death within six months; and who voluntarily expresses a wish to die and has made an informed decision.
A "yes" vote would enact the proposed law alllowing a physician licensed in Massachusetts to prescribe medication at the request of a terminally ill patient meeting certain conditions to end that person's life. A "no" vote would make no change in existing law, meaning things stay the same.
Proponents say "this choice isn't for everyone, but everyone has the right to this choice." Visit www.YesOnDignity.com for more arguments on this side. Opponents, which includes the Massachusetts Medical Society, say "Massachusetts should improve access to quality health care for terminally ill patients, not access to suicide." Visit www.StopAssistedSuicide.org for more arguments on this side.
Question 3, "Medical Use of Marijuana," would eliminate state criminal and civil penalties for the medical use of marijuana by qualifying patients.
To qualify, a patient must have been diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition, such as cancer, glaucoma, HIV-positive status or AIDS, hepatitis C, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, or multiple sclerosis. The patient would also have to obtain a written certification, from a physician with whom the patient has a bona fide physician-patient relationship, that the patient has a specific debilitating medical condition and would likely obtain a net benefit from medical use of marijuana.
A "yes" vote would enact the proposed law eliminating state criminal and civil penalties related to the medical use of marijuana, allowing patients meeting certain conditions to obtain marijuana produced and distributed by new state-regulated centers or in specific hardship cases, to grow marijuana for their own use. A "no" vote would make no change in existing laws.
Proponents say it "will ease the suffering of thousands of people with cancer, Parkinson's disease, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, glaucoma, and other debilitating conditions." Visit www.com passionforpatients.com for more arguments on this side. Opponents say "the loopholes for corruption and exploitation are enormous" in this law because it would virtually allow anyone to grow pot or operate a pot shop. Visit www.mavotenoon question3.com for more arguments on this side.
A non-binding ballot question, dubbed the "Democracy Amendment" by supporters, will appear on the ballot in all Berkshire County towns, and throughout most of the state.
The question seeks to reinforce a resolution approved by state lawmakers calling on Congress to begin action on a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling that opened the floodgates for big-money campaign contributions by unidentified political action committees, corporations and unions.
The ballot question is as follows: Shall the state senator or representative from this district be instructed to vote in favor of a resolution calling upon Congress to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution affirming that corporations are not entitled to the constitutional rights of human beings, and both Congress and the states may place limits on political contributions and political spending?
It's a "yes" or "no" vote. As a non-binding question, it wouldn't become law based on the vote on Tuesday.
A second, non-binding question, known as "Budget for All" by its backers, will appear on the ballot in Southern Berkshire County.
It asks voters to call upon Congress and the president to prevent cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans benefits, or to housing, food and unemployment assistance; create and protect jobs by investing in manufacturing, schools, housing, renewable energy, transportation and other public services; provide new revenues for these purposes and to reduce the long-term federal deficit by closing corporate tax loopholes, ending offshore tax havens, and raising taxes on incomes over $250,000; and redirect military spending to these domestic needs by reducing the military budget, ending the war in Afghanistan and bringing U.S. troops home safely now.
A "yes" or "no" vote will be indicated for ballot questions. As a non-binding question, it also wouldn't become law based on the vote.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- David Letterman has read the holiday-themed Top 10 "Department Store Santa Pet Peeves" list on "Late Show" in New York.

8. Whenever triplets show up, I have to snap on the third knee.
7. January through November.
6. One year, Macy's tried to pay me in cologne.
5. Restless beard syndrome.
4. Parents, you're in line for 40 minutes -- maybe use that time to learn how to operate your cameras.
3. Lap rash.
2. Pretending to be jolly gets old pretty fast -- like I need to tell this audience?
1. How come no one ever asks what I want for Christmas?

A year ago, I subscribed to NetZero while staying at my Dad's house when my Mom passed away. Being that I was going to be there for about 3 months, and there was no Internet connections there, I decided to subscribe to NetZero and use them temporarily while I stayed there... until I got settled into a new place where I can use my SBC/AT&T DSL service.
NetZero offered a free trial period, after the trial I would be charged only $9.99 per month. Good enough for 3 months. I constantly had sign on problems and connection problems with them. But, I wasn't spending a lot of time on line anyway, mostly just at night, so I put up with it.
Once I got moved and had my DSL service transferred to my new apartment, I called NetZero to cancel. They told me I didn't have an account with them. I explained I did, and I've been using the service for two or three months. They checked and insisted that I had none. They said there was no record of it. I told them I didn't know WHAT their records showed, but I want to make sure I'm not charged any more monthly fees. They said I wouldn't be charged because there is no record. Well... I KNEW there was record of it SOMEWHERE, since I was able to sign on. I uninstalled the program from my computer and didn't use it since I called them.
Next thing I know, I was charged for the $9.99. I called them and told them again, that I had canceled it... gave them the date and time I called and the name of the person I spoke with. I told them they said I had no account. I told this representative that they WILL credit back the charge... they said they can't... I said they WILL... finally they said they would. I wasn't convinced, I just felt they told me that to get me off the phone. When I didn't see any credit given after about two weeks, I called again. No record found of me ever calling and talking to them.
After demanding that they connect me with an 'English speaking US Citizen who lives in the UNITED STATES (yes, that's exactly how I made the request)... I finally got another representative on the phone. I explained the entire situation, she knew right away what the problem was and said, they always have "that problem with them" and she assured me that I would be credited and the account cancelled. I checked my statement and found the credits for two months on it and thought all was finally done.
THEN.. today... a YEAR LATER I got the following Email sent to my SBC account from them: "Dear NetZero Member, Our records indicate that you have not signed in to your NetZero Free Email account in at least one year. Please sign in at webmail.netzero.com within the next 30 days or we will have to deactivate your account. MEMBER ID Use the Member ID below to sign in to NetZero. Member ID: **. If you have forgotten your password, please visit my.netzero.com.
"DID YOU KNOW? Your Free NetZero Email comes with all these great features: Video Mail or Video Chat - Talk face-to-face with anyone at any email address - even a non-NetZero member. Spam/Virus Protection - Blocks junk mail & helps protect you from viruses. Mobile & Web Access - From any Internet-connected computer or mobile phone. We hope you take advantage of your NetZero Free Email account by signing in at webmail."
My response: Well of course I haven't signed on for a year... I CANCELED IT A YEAR AGO.. not only did I cancel it but I had to call to cancel it THREE TIMES. I canceled it because no one there knew what they were doing and couldn't understand simple English. It looks like nothing has changed!
These people are criminals! Do not buy this service! I tried to cancel four times only to get advised of hold times exceeding 11 minutes each time. I finally got through this morning and advised that I wanted to cancel, the representative fought me for at least 10 minutes trying to convince me that I needed their basic service as back-up. After emphatically telling her "NO, I WANT TO CANCEL COMPLETELY," she then told me that they would do me a "favor" and keep my computer secure with Norton for free but actually would cost $4.95/month.
After finally getting irate and again refusing this special offer I was treated rudely and when I requested a cancellation confirmation number she put me on hold for at least 5 minutes and I'm fairly sure she was just trying to "punish" me for insisting on getting that cancellation number.
I was desperate after being disconnected by AT&T 4 times, so looked for telecommunications companies that offered internet. NetZero was described on phone and I learned the online internet program could be picked up at Wal-Mart. Instead they sent a disc and I refused it. My postman helped me and it was returned. I did not open.
I just received my Visa bill and NetZero has charged me $17.90 - I do not have the service and was shocked. I decided I could use Charter for my upper unit tenant ** and myself. I am an 81 year old widow who desired quick internet re-connection and Charter provided it. Help When I went on line to write to them I cannot because I do not have an account number. Next step complain to Wisconsin consumer complaint department.
Exactly 3 weeks ago I discovered a 14.95 charge and another 1.00 charge on my checking account from NetZero. Both of these used my debit card. I have NEVER had any kind of service from NetZero. I called the bank to dispute the unauthorized charges. They immediately canceled my debit card & issued me another. Today, I found another pending 1.00 charge from NetZero using my NEW CARD NUMBER!!! This card has never been out of my possession, & I only received it 7 days ago!
I called Netzero and asked about this, & I was told this account was opened up in my name. I informed them that these were fraudulent charges, twice in three weeks. I was transferred to 4 different departments. I asked them how they got the new debit card number, and they said I gave it to them. I hung up the phone and called the police to file a report. I have called the bank AGAIN and had my debit card cancelled, AGAIN. Does anyone have any ideas, or am I just going to have to cancel my debit card once or twice a month?!
WOODLAND HILLS, CALIFORNIA -- Upon my request to cancel my account with Juno to avoid further charges, I receive confirmation that they would in fact put a halt to my account. Months later, I found that charges continued to take place from Juno. When I called to question this, they admitted that they had a cancellation request from me but did not understand why my account had not been cancelled. On top of this, they refused to credit me the wrongful charges.
In addition, they claimed that I authorized tech support charges when, in fact, they offered them (verbally) to me free to keep me as an account member. They gave me the "runaround" as they transferred me from one operator to another, while constantly putting me on hold until my patience wore thin... United Online, Inc. is headquartered in Woodland Hills, CA, with offices in New York, NY, Renton, WA, San Francisco, CA, Orem, UT, and Hyderabad, India.
I subscribe to Juno MegaMail for a once a year fee to keep a permanent email address. I have tried to change my password that we are all cautioned to do regularly. They reply back, can only be done through the Juno Software which I don't have since I don't subscribe to their monthly DSL or dial up service. Support on the web leaves MUCH to be desired. The main support requires listing your access number which I DON'T have. And phone service is VERY expensive. My warning: Look elsewhere for email and internet service!!!
I am trying to cancel my free Juno email account. I have spent hours on the phone with customer service who tells me "just don't use it for 60 days and it will go away." I haven't used it for a year and it is still there. I have emailed, called and they all keep saying the same thing. Nobody seems to be able to cancel the account. The customer service at Juno is terrible.
MONTCLAIR, NEW JERSEY -- Tried to cancel regular dial up in May 2007 and they actually started charging me more per month. So I tried their DSL service and was later told that in order for me to install I would need addition hardware, which they never indicated.
Tried to cancel via phone and they just would not! Could not get last name of customer service agent, nor what company she worked for. I have had enough, these company will do anything to increase short term earnings, it's the old "sue me later" deal. Thaankss.

Lyrically, don't expect to be impressed by his MC skills—it's filled with boastfully explicit, and generic, claims & promises—but this is a party record for sure. We're just glad Funk Flex is getting back to making mixtapes. This song will appear on the upcoming Who You Mad At? Me Or Yourself? compilation, but Flex needs to hurry up & bring back his The Mix Tape series.


text: An epic track to set the tone for images and feelings of adventure. Whether you need an underscore for a sporting event, images of space, courage, victory, or human achievement – this underscore will fit the bill. Reminiscent of recent soundtracks, this track features beautiful brass lines with accenting percussion that leads to a building flurry of excitement. All is resolved in a climax that leaves one feeling "ready" for the mission at hand.

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. -- Northern Westchester Hospital (NWH) has been granted three-year accreditation with Commendation by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons.
CoC-accredited cancer programs must meet or exceed 34 CoC quality-care standards, be evaluated every three years and maintain levels of excellence in the delivery of comprehensive patient-centered care.
The programs offered by the Cancer Treatment and Wellness Center at NWH focus on the full spectrum of cancer care including prevention, early diagnosis, cancer staging, optimal treatment, rehabilitation, life-long follow-up for recurrent disease and end-of-life care.
Patients receiving care at NWH have access to clinical trials, leading-edge technologies such as the Gamma Knife Perfexion, genetic counseling and patient-centered services.
NWH takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer as a complex group of diseases that requires consultation among surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists and cancer specialists.
"At Northern Westchester Hospital, we pride ourselves on treating the person, not just the disease," said Thomas Lester, MD, chief of hematology/oncology and chairman of the cancer committee, NWH.
"We recognize that complete treatment is found in combining medical treatments and complementary wellness services such as nutritional consultation, access to fitness classes, emotional support and integrative medicine into a plan of care that meets each patient's individual needs."
"Our Center provides patients access to leading-edge therapies, previously found only in big city hospitals, in the comfort of their own community."
Like all CoC-accredited hospitals, NWH maintains a cancer registry and contributes data to the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), a joint program of the CoC and American Cancer Society (ACS).
This nationwide oncology outcomes database is the largest clinical disease registry in the world. Data on all types of cancer are tracked and analyzed through the NCDB and used to explore trends in cancer care.
CoC-accredited cancer centers have access to information derived from the data analysis, which is used to create reports.
The CoC provides the public with information on the resources, services and cancer treatment experience through the CoC Hospital Locator .

Associated Press
KIHEI, Hawaii (AP) - A surge in shark attacks on Maui over the past year, including two fatal ones, hasn't stopped people from surfing and swimming in the warm ocean waters that surround the Hawaii island.
But it has spurred sales of devices that claim to keep sharks away by emitting an electric pulse.
Users strap the devices to their ankles, wetsuits or surfboards. Some are about the size of an oversized watch, others the size of a wallet. They range in price from $399 to $649.
Some shark experts say the devices may help, but it's questionable whether they will repel large sharks.
The sales spike comes as there have been eight attacks in Maui waters last year. Statewide, there were 14 attacks in 2013; 11 in 2012 and three in 2011.

WBU employees publish articles
Release Date: November 20, 2007
PLAINVIEW – Two Wayland Baptist University employees have been recognized recently for their works in the academic field. Dr. Arch Mayfield and Dann Wigner have written articles that will be published in academic journals.
A longtime member of the faculty, Dr. Mayfield, professor of English, wrote an article entitled "Toward a Style that Stays: Washington Irving's Tour of the West" that was presented at the 72nd annual meeting of the Conference of College Teachers of English in March. The work was published in the CCTE Studies journal in September. Mayfield's paper won the American Literature Award at the CCTE meeting last spring for his look at the writing style of Washington Irving.
"One of his big things was to have a writing style that suggested permanence, something that would last," Mayfield said. "He was concerned about a writing style that would outlive him."
Dann Wigner, coordinator of Distance Learning Services in the Learning Resources Center, wrote an article that was published in the Perspectives in Religious Studies, the scholarly journal of the National Association of Baptist Professors of Religion. Wigner's article, "Clarity in the Midst of Confusion: Defining Mysticism," will appear alongside works from full-time faculty members at major universities.
Wigner holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Wayland and will begin doctoral work at Durham University in Durham, England in 2008.

The three-story limestone warehouse that dates back to the 1850s is now a 7-guestroom B&B with rustic exposed stone walls and pampering whirlpool tubs.

Lady Bucs pick up split on day two of Bayer CropScience Classic
Morris, who was making only her fourth collegiate start, picked up her first win in an ETSU uniform, as she led the Lady Bucs to a 5-4 victory over Georgetown at the Bayer CropScience Classic inside Fresno State's Bulldog Diamond. In game one on Friday, ETSU saw a five-run lead evaporate, and the Lady Bucs eventually fell to Cal State Northridge, 8-7.
With the split, the Lady Bucs moved their record to 9-11 on the year, and ETSU picked up its second win in eight chances on the 10-game west-coast swing - which concludes on Saturday.
ETSU vs.
Shelby Morris went the distance and ETSU broke a 3-3 tie by scoring two runs in the sixth as the Lady Bucs hung on for the 5-4 victory against the Hoyas on Friday.
Morris improved to 1-2 with the victory and allowed four runs on seven hits, while striking out three in seven innings of work.
Senior Trisha Massenzo (
ETSU took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second when Delisa singled home Massenzo - who led off the inning with a double to left. The Lady Bucs missed out on a big inning after Delisa and Lower were left standing on second and third when Jennifer Connell forced Amy Campbell (
After trailing for the first time in the game, the Hoyas quickly bounced back to go on top, 3-1, by using clutch two-out hitting to their advantage. With Morris allowing a leadoff double to Shikara Lowe, the sophomore hurler got the next two
The Lady Bucs did a great job chipping away at the deficit, and ETSU eventually tied the game at three after scoring a run in each of the next two innings.
ETSU made it a one-run game when Massenzo singled in Cheniece Cason (
With Morris keeping the Lady Bucs in position to win, ETSU came through for the victory. The Lady Bucs were rewarded by a pitching miscue from Connell in the circle after she loaded bags in the sixth. With no room for error, the
Morris then worked a perfect seventh to record her first collegiate win.
Connell suffered her fourth loss of the year (3-4) as she was tagged for five runs (three earned) on eight hits in seven innings.
ETSU vs.
Despite holding a five-run lead through the first two innings, ETSU couldn't hold on as Cal State Northridge exploded for four runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth to rally for an 8-7 victory.
The Lady Bucs jumped all over Cal State Northridge (10-12) thanks to the hot bats from a pair of senior leaders in Trisha Massenzo and Katy Jett (
ETSU grabbed an early 2-0 lead as Massenzo went yard for the second straight day, sending one flying over the center field fence in the top of the first. An inning later, Arielle Garner (
With junior right-hander Jessica Duncan (
However, after retiring nine of the first ten Matador hitters she faced, Cal State Northridge managed to score its first run on Christina Saenz's two-out RBI double in the fourth.
Unfortunately, like last night, the Lady Bucs' offense went stagnant by not scoring over the next three innings and the Matadors roughed up Duncan and senior Darci Gilbert (
After being held to two hits over the next 3.2 innings, Sam Lower ended the Lady Buccaneer offensive woes in the sixth by belting her second home run of the year - putting ETSU back up 6-5.
ETSU's lead didn't last long though, as Northridge used a three-run sixth to recapture the lead and held on for the victory. With two outs and runners on second and third, Lauren Olivas singled home two runs and Karla Chaparro's double scored the all-important eighth run for the Matadors.
The Lady Bucs didn't go down without a fight as Lucy Schneider (
Cal State Northridge's Amanda Pitzenberger earned the win. Pitzenberger improved to 7-3 on the year after allowing three runs on six hits in 4.2 innings in relief. Gilbert suffered her second loss on the year (2-2) as she was charged for five runs on seven hits in two innings of work.
The Lady Bucs look to wrap up the west coast trip on a positive note on Saturday when ETSU takes on Colorado State (Noon) and Mississippi State (5 p.m.).

Favorite game day traditions
Hi gang,
What are some of your favorite game day traditions. We have season tickets, not a practical thing for our UK fans/friends. We have a bunch of superstitions/traditions in our family.
We have been doing this one since the first preseason game for the Ravens. We have 20 ft flagpole on our front lawn. The Ravens flag goes to the top of the pole on gameday. If they win, it stays up til the next game, if they lose, it comes to half staff until 6pm the next day when we lower it and put it away til the next game. Needless to say, our flag has been flying since the first preseason game against the Redskins.
In 2000, we went undefeated from Oct through the Superbowl. Our flag was sunbleached and tattered by the time the Boys returned home victorious from Tampa Bay. We did add small purple Christmas lights to the flagpole during the Christmas season.
Of course, at the Stadium, everyone has to touch the toe on the statue of Johnny Unitas in front of the stadium. I've gone tailgating w/o having a ticket. I'll walk the gang to the stadium, touch the toe, then head home. It's all for luck.
My dear husband (DH) has a whole slew of "lucky" shirts that he has to wear on Gameday--always topped with his Todd Heap Jersey.
So, do you have any interesting traditions?

Re: Favorite game day traditions
oops. forgot the worst story. One Sunday, we lost to the Steelers (shakes fist angrily in the air). Ray was at the game, I was at a Cub Scout function with the rest of the family. When Ray arrived home, the flag was lowered. He thought I did it. I didn't. I arrived home after him. The next day, someone sent us an email from email@example.com. gloating about lowering the flag and how great the Steelers are. This was during the 2000 season. Who got the last laugh? To this day, we still don't know who did it. Obviously, it was someone we knew cuz they had my personal email address but no one has ever 'fessed up to it.
At our local Home Depot hardware store, they sell housekeys with NFL logos on it. Whenever I go by that key station (which isn't a lot), I always take one Ravens key and put it in front of the row of Steelers keys so the PS keys are not visible. :ww:
Re: Favorite game day traditions
Well for me my game day experience is completely the opposite.
Because being an american football fan in this country you might as well
live in a cave.
Our spare room is where all my Raven banners and items are on display.
And gameday I usually put on my Raven shorts and jersey of my chosing.
So far it has been Flacco 3-0.So I am not changing that anytime soon.
I have a little set of snacks and cold beers in the fridge.Then plonk down for NFL Network Gameday morning on the pc via Gamepass HD.Which leads me up to the 6pm games.
The wife usually sits on the sofa watching her tv or she is off mountain biking in the forest while I am plugged into the pc and the NFL for 2pm Gameday 6pm kickoff 9.15pm kickoff late games.To bed
And sometimes the pussy cat jumps on my lap for 40 winks. Bad idea with the rate the Ravens are scoring TD's,as I jump around with each score.Put the smile back on your face.This is a 60 minute ball game.

First-Class Cloud Images
Cloud images for EC2 and for generic use (download and use in any cloud environment, like OpenStack, CloudStack, or Eucalyptus) will be produced as part of the Alpha, Beta, and Final compose process, and distributed on the mirror network. We'll also have automatic nightly builds of Rawhide and of the development version.
- Name: Matthew Miller
- Email: mattdm at fedoraproject dot org
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 19
- Last updated: January 19, 2013
- Percentage of completion: 0%
Detailed Description
- Koji updated to support image creation under visualization using Factory/Oz
- Scratch images built weekly
- "Blessed" built for Alpha, Beta, and Final
Benefit to Fedora
- Cloud images more easily available to users
- Cloud images available for better testing
- Constant building of images provides better platform for testing in general
Updates to Koji are a fairly major infrastructure change. We'll need bare-metal builders (or nested virt). ImageFactory/Oz will grow the ability to take kickstarts in addition to xml templates. Creating LiveCDs with the same system will also require some changes to ImageFactory/Oz.
Release engineering will produce images weekly (in an automated way). These will need to be easily discoverable (from the Cloud SIG web page, for example).
Will also need procedure for producing, testing, and blessing the official images for test and final releases. These will be released using the current Fedora mirroring system, alongside the install images.
How To Test
- Do the images exist?
- Do they boot in
- OpenStack?
- Eucalyptus?
- Installed image should appear similar to one installed by Anaconda

It started with a simple idea: when it comes to food, we would do well to model our diets after our grandparents, which is to say, we should eat less meat (most of our grandparents couldn't afford to eat meat in the quantities most Americans do now) and far less processed food. From this basic premise sprouted Michael Pollan's Food Rules, a slim handbook of food knowledge that brilliantly illustrates how different cultures with a broad range of traditions all share the same lasting food wisdom, and answers the common question, "What should I eat?"
In the continued spirit of accessibility and engagement, Marija Jacimovic and Benoit Detalle have created a beautiful animation based upon Pollan's speech at the RSA in 2010, where he introduced his book. In the two-minute snippet, Pollan discusses the massive quantities of food our country produces, too much of which goes towards feeding livestock for meat production or biofuels for transportation. He delves into the system's reliance on fossil fuels and how, if we are to feed the world's growing population, we will have to learn to produce food without them. This gorgeous collaborative educational tool is perfect for introducing new faces to these concepts – and for those already familiar, it's a refreshing take on Pollan's classic and influential ideas.

Detroit boosted by truck sales; Honda, Nissan gain
DETROIT (AP) — Ford, GM, Chrysler and Nissan all reported double-digit U.S. sales increases last month, signaling the best April for car and truck sales in six years.
A rebound in pickup truck sales led the way, especially for the Detroit automakers. Small businesses are replacing aging trucks that they've kept since the Great Recession.
Ford's sales increased 18 percent, with the F-Series pickup gaining 24 percent. At Chrysler, sales rose 11 percent, led by the Ram pickup, with a 49 percent sales increase. GM also saw an 11 percent sales jump, with Chevrolet Silverado pickup sales rising 28 percent for the month.
Nissan reported a 23 percent sales gain over April of 2012. Honda sales rose 7 percent, led by the CR-V small crossover SUV, while Hyundai sales were up 2 percent on strong sales of the Elantra compact. The only laggards were Toyota, with a sales decline of 1 percent, and Volkswagen, with a drop of 10 percent.
Americans continue to buy new cars and trucks even though unemployment remains high and economic signals of late have been mixed. All automakers report monthly sales Wednesday, and industry analysts expect an overall increase of around 10 percent over April of last year. That would make it the best April since 2007.
Chrysler Group LLC said it sold 156,698 cars and trucks last month. Sales of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV increased 27 percent. Dodge brand sales rose 18 percent, with the Dart compact car posting its best month ever with sales of nearly 8,100. But the Chrysler brand struggled, with sales falling 13 percent.
Ford Motor Co. sold 212,584 cars and trucks. The F-series pickup remains the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. Sales totaled 59,000 in April. And sales of the redesigned Escape SUV rose 52 percent.
General Motors Co. reported sales of 237,646 cars and trucks. Even with gas prices on the decline, compact cars remain popular. Sales of the Chevy Cruze rose 21 percent.
Nissan saw demand for the recently redesigned Altima midsize car and Sentra compact. The company also took a step toward boosting future sales. It announced price cuts on seven models that make up 65 percent of its U.S. sales. The cuts, effective on Friday, run from $580 on the top-selling Altima to $4,400, on the Armada big SUV.
VW's sales drop was led by its top-seller, the Passat midsize car, which fell 10 percent.
Despite a slight drop, Toyota was optimistic about the rest of the year. Sales chief Bill Fay said the overall market increase is a good sign for all automakers, "especially with new products, low interest rates and plenty of pent-up demand."
Chrysler predicted that total U.S. sales will hit an annual rate of 15.4 million in April. That's a little higher than most analysts' predictions. April is likely to be the sixth straight month of sales above a 15 million yearly pace.
Barring an unexpected event that causes a real estate price collapse or rapidly rising job losses, there's little to stop sales from growing further in the next few years, industry analysts say.
"I don't see any significant hurdles on the horizon," said Alec Gutierrez, a senior market analyst at Kelley Blue Book. "I don't see us taking a step back, provided the unemployment rate at least holds steady."
He expects U.S. auto sales to end the year around 15.3 million cars and trucks, up 5.5 percent from last year's 14.5 million.
U.S. unemployment stands at a stubbornly high 7.6 percent, but that hasn't slowed auto sales much.
Aside from unemployment, almost every factor that affects car and truck sales is positive. Interest rates are low — the average four-year loan on a new car is 2.4 percent, according to Bankrate.com. Also, credit is widely available, even to those with low scores. Used-car values are high, so car buyers can get good trade-in value for their old cars. Lease deals are good. Gas prices have fallen since February.
In addition, home-building is on the rise, up 7 percent from February to March. That means better sales of big pickup trucks as companies and laborers return to the market. Kelley Blue Book expects big pickup sales to rise more than 26 percent in April over a year ago.
Many businesses and consumers need to replace older trucks and cars. The average age of a U.S. vehicle is 11.2 years. Plus, automakers have rolled out dozens of exciting new models in the past year, drawing buyers into showrooms.
"Relatively lower gas prices coupled with small business demand improving for trucks resulted in a strong showing for small and large pickups in April," said Jesse Toprak, senior analyst for the TrueCar.com auto pricing site.
One category that's soaring is small crossover SUVs. Sales rose an estimated 22.5 percent in April, according to Kelley Blue Book. Fuel-efficient models such as the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 are driving sales, Gutierrez said.
Kelley Blue Book estimates that auto prices fell slightly in April compared with a year ago, to an average of $31,326.

Nearly forty years ago, a few determined civil rights activists at the United Church of Christ and the NAACP in Jackson, Mississippi, decided to take on the treatment of blacks by the television news. They drew a straight line from the racism they faced on the streets to the racism they faced in their living rooms when they turned on the TV. So they monitored newscasts at two local stations in Jackson. After determining that the stations were utterly failing to serve their African-American audiences, the activists filed petitions with the Federal Communications Commission. And when they didn't like what the FCC had to say, they took the commission to court, where they won. Big time.
The courts ultimately ruled that the broadcast license of station WLBT-TV ought to be taken away altogether. They said that while African-Americans were 45 percent of the audience, their concerns were totally ignored by the local television stations. It was a stunning decision, one that not only established the principle that news content must reflect in some fashion the actual diversity of local audiences but, just as important, that the public–not just corporate entities–had standing and could go directly to the FCC.
Today the landscape is radically different. With the Congressional deregulatory frenzy that started in the early 1990s, many media restrictions were loosened, and after passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the floodgates were completelythrown open. The rapid acceleration of consolidation in media and telecommunications industries that quickly followed–and is still under way–has occurred with the eager complicity of the FCC. Media reform advocates were placed on the defensive, but they did their best to mount a holding action and not be flattened by the commercial steamroller.
Meanwhile, the Jackson decision, which was once called the "Magna Carta for active public participation in broadcast regulation," has all but disappeared from the annals of media policy advocacy. The lobbyists and scholars leading the current efforts at media reform are focusing on a whole different set of concerns–resistance to corporate media consolidation, the battle to preserve localism and against content that is commercial and sensationalistic–which are a far cry from the issues of racism and unfair treatment that launched the earlier movement.
There is an increasingly rebellious response to this Jeffersonian approach to media reform–and to the continued marginalization of people of color in the ever-more-consolidated world of mainstream media. In small towns and in church basements, in virtual communities and villages, a growing group of activists are going back to the movement's roots using a framework they call media justice. Drawing inspiration from the environmental justice movement, media justice proponents are developing race-, class- and gender-conscious visions for changing media content and structure. A first-ever Media Justice Summit is planned for late spring 2004. Says co-convener and technology expert Art McGee, "We're modeling the Media Justice Summit on the historic Environmental Justice Summit over a decade ago, in which people of color and the poor came together and made explicit their environmental issues and concerns, which had not been a part of the mainstream agendas of mostly white groups like the Sierra Club or Greenpeace. We're about to do something very similar."

Tattoos are a very enticing form of expression, both for men and women, but especially for men. While big body art pieces, like full sleeves or back tattoos aren't for everyone, those who really enjoy body art certainly appreciate a great piece.
Back tattoos are quite special. Usually, these are quite big pieces, ranging the whole back area, and are built upon slowly, to create the striking final design. Those have been popularly depicted on TV, like in the case of the iconic "full back map" tattoo that was at the center of the Prison Break plot, or more recently, on the Divergent movie, where the character played by Theo James had an intricate design, made up of five different symbols spanning his whole back. Those are great examples of back tattoo ideas for men to take inspiration from.
However, you don't have to take these examples, or fill your whole back with designs. Tattoos are something quite personal, which will most likely be permanently etched on your skin, so it should be your choice where and how much of your back should be covered, so keep that in mind when considering these back tattoo ideas for men.
One of the most popular back tattoos ideas for men, as well as women, is to place a design between your shoulders, stretching out toward the sides. This is quite a striking position, perfect for a big tribal design, and more so to an animal or creature design, especially winged ones. This type of back tattoo is also cool because you can connect it seamlessly to a sleeve, if you have one, or have it curling around your neck, so it'll be hinted at below your shirt.
Lower back tattoos are more popular among women, but they can also make for great back tattoo ideas for men. This is mostly a prime location for, again, tribal designs, but a quote in a cool font also looks quite amazing at your lower back. However, these tattoos are more so for your eyes, and those close to you, only.
Finally, one of the most original and cool looking back tattoo ideas for men is to have a design cascading down your back. These look especially cool along your spine, like in the case of a tree design for instance, with roots at the lower back and branches spanning to your shoulders, but they can also be quite striking if placed to one side, as the off-center placement is likely to drive the attention to your cool, sprawling design. Alternatively, you could also wrap it around your armpit, like a holster, which is quite an unusual placement, but works quite nicely for curved designs.

National Philanthropy Day
National Philanthropy Day® is a special day set aside on the fifteenth of November. The purpose of this day is to recognize the great contributions of philanthropy—and those people active in the philanthropic community—to the enrichment of our world.
NPD was originally conceived of and organized by Douglas Freeman in the 1980s, and the first official events held in 1986 after President Reagan signed the official NPD proclamation. The day provides an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of giving and all that it has made possible. NPD celebrates the endless daily contributions individuals and organizations across the world make to countless causes and missions.
Last year, more than 130 AFP chapters held NPD events and activities across North America. In addition, AFP launched #NPDLove and the NPDLove.com website, a global social media outreach and awareness campaign to engage the global charitable sector, the philanthropic community, and the public in activities to demonstrate "love of humankind" and highlight how they (or their organization) are helping to change the world.

Eastern Kentucky University has denied an appeal to throw out a two-year suspension of the school's Rugby team.
An investigation into hazing prompted the university to suspend the men's rugby team until the spring of 2016. The investigation began after someone found blood in a freshman's dorm room. The freshman had supposedly participated in a paddling ritual using a 2x4.
Representatives of the rugby team say they're appealed the decision for two reasons. They say their punishment is too severe, and that the committee doesn't have all the facts pertaining to the case.
Farrell admits a rugby player does have the 2x4, but says its not part of a rugby tradition, initiation, or the team.
Claire Good, Ph.D., Interim VP for Student Affairs & Dean of Students, sent a letter saying that the appeal filed on behalf of the team was denied. The letter also said the punishment levied against the team will stand.

Bill seeks immunity for medical providers who report those unfit to drive at any ageBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
February 20. 2014 11:07PM
CONCORD — Mandatory driving tests for license renewals after 75 are no longer part of a bill proposed by a lawmaker moved by the story of motorcyclists hit and killed by an 87-year-old driver.
The plan to reinstate testing was opposed by groups representing the elderly, who said it was discriminatory. Members of the House Transportation Committee agreed Thursday, amending House Bill 263 to provide immunity to medical providers who report those unfit to drive at any age.
The bill's sponsor, Tara Sad, D-Walpole, said she wants to encourage medical care providers to report those who should not be driving.
Sad told the committee some doctors do report patients, but many are leery because of the potential for a lawsuit.
"This might make it a little more attractive for doctors to do what is right for public safety," Sad said. "It is very difficult to tell a parent or relative they are no longer able to drive and take their keys away."
The Department of Safety has a hearings procedure to determine if someone should continue to hold a license, which is a privilege, not a right, in New Hampshire. Consequently, a doctor's report would not mean the automatic suspension of a person's license.
House Bill 263 does not target just elderly drivers, but anyone unfit to drive for medical or mental reasons, and has the support of the American Association of Retired Persons and the New Hampshire Medical Society.
Sad said she introduced the bill after the widow of a man killed in an accident in Westmoreland called her. Bette Champney's husband was one of two motorcyclists killed during a memorial run for fallen soldier, Army Spc. Justin Rollins of Newport, who was killed in a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2007.
In the Westmoreland crash, police said Robert Lockerby of Walpole crossed the double-yellow line on Route 12 on Aug. 25, 2012. Gary Champney, 59, of Alstead, and Aaron Robar, 41, of Newport, were among seven motorcyclists hit by the 87-year-old's car.
They were pronounced dead at the scene. Lockerby died two days later.
Rep. Donald LeBrun, R-Nashua, was concerned the bill did not have broad support and was inspired by only one of Sad's constituents.
Sad said when she introduced the bill, she was stopped on the street, emailed and called by people thanking her for her efforts to reinstate mandatory testing, which was repealed in 2011.
She said she spoke at an assisted living facility in Keene expecting to face strong opposition, but instead found unanimous support for her proposal.
"They recognized there are dangerous people driving," Sad said, and they "welcomed the opportunity to get tested."
No one spoke in opposition to the bill at the public hearing.
Several committee members expressed concerns that a person's confidential medical records could be exposed under the bill. Rep. Charles McMahon, R-Windham, said the records should be protected from those who want to use government as a weapon.
Physician and Rep. Tom Sherman, D-Rye, said accessing medical records in an administrative hearing is concerning and suggested it be removed from the bill.
Sherman also said there ought to be a requirement for a medical evaluation before a report is filed.
Others were concerned about "the broad brush approach" of indemnifying any person who reports an unfit driver and suggesting either a more precise list or all "licensed medical providers."
A sub-committee will work on the bill before the full committee votes next month.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Addressing gay and lesbian concerns, the Obama administration Friday moved to expand health insurance access for same-sex couples and close a loophole that threatened to leave some HIV/AIDS patients without coverage.
In separate announcements, the Health and Human Services Department said:
— Insurers offering spousal coverage for heterosexual couples must also provide it to legally married couples of the same gender.
— Insurers cannot turn down HIV/AIDS patients whose premiums are being paid through the federal Ryan White program.
The administration acted after gays and lesbians complained about confusing rules on spousal coverage in the new health insurance exchanges, particularly in states that do not recognize same-sex marriage.
HHS also countered a move by insurers in Louisiana to stop accepting premium payments made by the federal Ryan White program on behalf of HIV/AIDS patients.
The insurers, who said they were relying on another federal policy that discourages third parties from paying premiums for individuals, wound up in federal court after advocates filed suit. The issue is seen as a national test of whether insurance companies will be able to continue avoiding costly patients. President Barack Obama's health care law requires insurers to take all applicants, regardless of their medical history.
The new rule says insurers must accept third-party premium payments from the Ryan White and other federal and state programs.
Ryan White was an Indiana teenager with hemophilia who was diagnosed with AIDS in 1984, at a time when there were fewer precautions to safeguard blood supplies. Congress first authorized the federal HIV/AIDS program in 1990, the year White died. Lawmakers named the program in his honor to recognize White's stand against AIDS-related discrimination.
The policy on coverage for same-sex spouses takes effect next year and applies to plans offered in the health care law's new insurance markets. It also covers many — but not all — individual and employer plans offered outside that marketplace.
The administration said it intends to make coverage "more accessible and equitable for married same-sex couples." It's part of a government-wide effort to codify the rights of same-sex spouses. That follows the Supreme Court decision last year striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which opened the way for same-sex spouses to receive government benefits.
The new HHS policy says that if an insurance company offers spousal coverage to heterosexual couples, it must also provide that benefit to same-sex couples who were legally married in a jurisdiction that recognizes marriage between people of the same sex.
The administration is urging insurers to voluntarily comply with the same-sex rule right away. It will be a requirement for coverage starting Jan. 1, 2015, or later.
Many large employer plans are already operating under similar rules issued last fall by the Labor Department. These are so-called self-insured plans in which an employer sets aside its own money to cover most of the expected medical costs of workers. Self-insured employers generally hire an insurance company to administer their benefit plan.
The new rules apply instead to plans that are sold directly by insurance companies to individuals and employers, usually small to mid-sized companies.
There are exceptions:
—"Grandfathered" plans that were in existence when the health law passed four years ago and have changed very little since then do not have to offer coverage to same-sex spouses. Those plans, however, represent a dwindling share of the market.
—The new policy does not apply to Medicaid coverage for low-income people. The administration encourages states to offer Medicaid benefits to same-sex spouses, but state authorities have the final say.
Separately, HHS issued another one-month extension for the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, known as PCIP. Patients in the temporary program will now have until April 30 to find a new policy. PCIP was created as a transitional program for people turned down for coverage because of health problems.

Lexeme-Morpheme Base Morphology (LMBM) is known for its rigorous distinction of lexemes and grammatical morphemes. The theory is formally described in Lexeme - Morpheme Base Morphology, Albany, NY: SUNY Press, 1995. This site explains one of the four basic hypotheses of LMBM: The Separation Hypothesis. For the other three, the Aristotelean Hypothesis, Unitary Grammatical Functions, and the Base Rule Theory, refer to the book.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican federal police say they have seized more than nine tons of marijuana, 370 pounds (168 kilograms) of crystal meth and a large cache of weapons this week in a northern border city caught in a bloody turf war between two drug cartels.
A Friday statement says a citizen's complaint led officers to two underground warehouses near a highway that links Monterrey with Reynosa, a city across the border from McAllen, Texas.
Police found five tons of marijuana and the crystal meth in one warehouse and 20 automatic rifles, thousands of bullets, 10 bulletproof vests, 20 uniforms, radios and tire spikes in the other.
Authorities didn't say where the other four tons of marijuana were found or what drug cartel owned the weapons and drugs.

Kevin Grosskreutz has quashed the notion that he could seek a move away from Borussia Dortmund in January.
The 24-year-old has been linked with potential suitors in the Premier League, namely Liverpool, after losing his place in the first team under Jurgen Klopp this season.
But Grosskreutz insists he is determined not to leave the club, vowing that he will work tooth and nail to regain his spot in the XI rather than seek pastures new.
"I have no trouble with Borussia Dortmund and, basically, I don't want to leave," he told Sport Bild.
"I am not giving up just because I am not in the first team. Borussia Dortmund always were and still are my favourite club.
"Until now I have not been offered a new deal that I could sign straight away, but I am looking forward to receiving that kind of proposal."
The German winger has featured 14 times for BVB in the league and last played and scored in the 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim in December.
The Bundesliga holders return to action against Werder Bremen on January 19 but trail 12 points behind table-toppers Bayern Munich.

Keene cemetery vandalism yet to yield suspects
March 26. 2013 7:29PM
KEENE - There are still no suspects in the cemetery vandalism case that occurred at Greenlawn and Woodland cemeteries Between 4 p.m. Sunday and 8 a.m. Monday, police said Tuesday.
"Twenty-nine headstones were damaged throughout the cemetery," said Sgt. Christopher Simonds.
It is essentially one cemetery, Simonds said, separated by a river.
Keene police are asking people with information regarding the vandalism to call police at 352-9813 or leave an anonymous tip at www.ci.keene.hu.hus/department/police/anonymous-crime-tips.
