CADILLAC Jennifer Fuzi is thankful that her father is alive. On July 9, Jack Baughan suffered a heart attack and collapsed on the floor of Avon Automotive. Four employees, all trained EMTs who work with local fire depart-

ments, rushed to his side to begin CPR. Two days later, another emergency page went out at Avon Automotive. Dewayne Peterson collapsed, the second victim of a nearly fatal heart attack. Again, the same four men rushed to begin life-saving efforts. Three, life-threatening medical emergencies took place this summer at Avon

Automotive. On June 3, Dave Hornbogen suffered an aortic aneurysm. All three men have been home recuperating, but on Thursday , they returned to warm embraces and sighs of relief from fellow employees during a ceremony to honor them and the men who saved their lives. For more, turn to Page A2

LAKE CITY What is the appropriate cost of ensuring that justice is served? That is one of the questions Missaukee County commissioners face regarding the appointment of a new assistant prosecutor and one brought up by Chairwoman Susan Rogers during a finance committee meeting Thursday . Rogers was referring to the upcoming murder trial of Brittani Marie Grabon, who was charged with the murder of her 14-month-old son, Payton Lee Disbrow. Rogers said one of her constituents approached her and commented how awful it would be if someone was not brought to justice on a crime simply because the resources were not available to properly prosecute them. Previously, some controversy had surrounded the appointment of an assistant prosecutor and the boards decision to allocate $5,000 for this years work and $10,000 for next year.

CADILLAC Anyone who has to fill a gas tank keeps an eye on prices and should be familiar with the seesaw moves frequently exhibited at the pump. Do consumers in the Midwest pay higher prices than in the rest of the nation? Attorney General Bill Schuette said he takes the role of consumer protection very seriously, including monitoring the

wholesale price of gas. Schuette stopped by the office of the Cadillac News Thursday afternoon for an exclusive interview and sat down for a few questions. Gas prices are carefully watched by his office, Schuette said, with extra attention paid during key holidays such as the Fourth of July and Memorial Day weekend, for example, when prices tend to run up. If there is any evidence of price fixing or collusion, we are on the case,

Schuette said. Also, Schuette gave local lawmakers Sen. Darwin Booher, R-Evart, and Rep. Phil Potvin, R-Cadillac, credit for pushing for the creation of the OK-2-SAY confidential school tip line. The attorney general said the U.S. Secret Service has stated that in 81 percent of violent attacks in schools, someone other than the attacker had knowledge of the attackers plan but didnt report JEFF BRODDLE | CADILLAC NEWS it.

Michigan couple welcomes 12th son

ROCKFORD (AP) A western Michigan family welcomed their 12th child. And, shocker, its a boy just like the other 11. Jay and Kateri Schwandt of Rockford believed the latest baby might break the gender streak, especially after Kateri, known as Teri, was nine days past her due date. That was unusual for her pregnancies. But as it turned out, it was hardly a game-changer as a nurse at a Grand Rapids hospital announced delivery of another boy . Tucker was 7 pounds, 12 ounces. Of course. There was a chuckle in the whole room, Teri, 38, said told The Associated Press on Thursday. I looked at my husband, and we exchanged a knowing smile.

Missaukee
Continued from A1 Prosecuting Attor ney William Donnelly made the appointment in response to a growing caseload of serious crimes and two murders, including the Grabon case, which is expected to extend into next year. Appointing an assistant is the right of the prosecutor, but the board of commissioners decides how much the position is paid. Missaukee County business owner Bryan Dugan last month organized a rally with around 30 people to protest the appointment. D u r i n g T h u r s d ay s meeting, Dugan apologized for the rally, saying he has received a lot of negative feedback from the community and was embarrassed by the actions of some of the protestors. He said he also regrets paying some of the protestors to attend the meeting. I hope this doesnt draw any attention away from a very important issue, Dugan said. Two other Missaukee County residents who attended the meeting also expressed their displea-

The Schwandt brothers, all 12 of them, pose for a photo in their Rockford home Tuesday.
When they say its a boy, I think, OK, no problem. Ive got this. We know what were doing. Tyler is the oldest son at 21. When the school year starts, three Schwandt boys will be in high school, while five brothers are in lower grades. That leaves three more at home with Teri. The Schwandts consider themselves devout Roman Catholics who dont believe in using birth control and put the size of their family in Gods hands. Teri comes from a family of 14 kids. But shes not the only member of her own family committed to the cause. She has a sister in the

Detroit area, Kate Osberger, who has 10 children of her own. Yep, all sons. Thats amazing. This is a miracle, said Dr. Bob Barbieri, who researches fertility issues and is chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston. It appears there is some type of genetic determination in some families that have a lot of girls or a lot of boys. Its not well understood. Its more than a statistical oddity . At home, half of the 12 sleep in two bedrooms with bunk beds. Teri has a rule of no more than one pair of shoes for each kid in the entryway .

sure with the boards decision to allocate $10,000 for the new position, along with Commissioner Hubert Zuiderveen. The $10,000 rubs (my constituents) the wrong way, Zuiderveen said. I would like to see it taken out of the budget. Rogers said the $10,000 was allocated by the board under the assumption the Grabon case was going to extend into next year and could potentially be very complicated and expensive. Its our responsibility to provide resources to

ensure justice is served, Rogers said. Sheriff Jim Bosscher confirmed expert testimony in the case could end up being very costly for the prosecutors office. Commissioner Dean Vivian said the $10,000 was not allocated necessarily to pay for a new assistant, but rather to help defray costs the prosecutors office is expected to incur next year. A public hearing to discuss the 2013-2014 budget will be held at the regular commission meeting next Tuesday at 2 p.m.

EMTs
Continued from A1 Its very personal to the staff when you see somebody go down on the floor, and then you see the employees in the facility rally behind them, said General Manager Greg Spencer. A lot of people were affected by that. It says a lot about these people that we have so many trained EMTs here. And it says a lot about their dedication to this community . When Hor nbogen became ill, he remained conscious and asked for help. Matt Fauble, a volunteer with the Cherry Grove Fire Department, rushed him to the hospital. The heart attack victims, Jack Baughan and Dewayne Peterson, are longtime Avon employees; Baughan with 45 years on the job and Peterson with 30. Both were unconscious and have no memory of what happened. The trained EMTs who rushed to help and began performing CPR are: Matt Fauble, Cherry Grove Fire Department; Chris Koontz, Cadillac Fire Department; Ray Wilkins, Manton Fire Department; and Stacey Mattison, Cherry Grove Fire Department.

When Dewayne Peterson went down, I got an emergency page, Mattison said. He was slumped over the table. Matt and Chris got him down and started CPR. Then when the ambulance arrived, they took over. I dont remember anything, said Baughan. But my doctor said Im one of the luckiest guys seven percent make it through the heart attack I had. There was definitely a guardian angel with me that day . My dad is alive because of these men, Fuzi said. It means a lot to us that friends were willing to come forward and help my dad. I didnt realize how serious it was until we were at the hospital. We had three serious incidents in six weeks, Spencer said as he honored the Avon heroes. We are blessed in Cadillac that we had first responders who stepped up to help save these lives. North Flight responders who continued life saving efforts in the ambulance for Jack Baughan include Michelle Posma and Mary Hyatt plus Capt.

Feister.

Schuette
Continued from A1 Hopes are that the OK2-SAY program will stop violence and tragedies before they occur by giving students and others a confidential means to report what they know before it is too late. The program will likely be introduced during the new school year. It will establish a command center that, for ex-

ample, a student can call or send an email to anonymously , 24 hours a day . The program will provide confidentiality to the tipster, and allow authorities to quickly contact the nearest appropriate law enforcement agency in hope of stopping a tragedy before it happens. Schuette also spoke on the recent decision by his office to seek a retrial of an arson case against a former Boon man who was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to nine to 40 years in

prison. Victor Caminatas case was pursued by the Michigan Innocence Clinic. The group, which is part of the University of Michigan Law School, takes on cases for free if they believe the defendant has been wrongly convicted. Caminatas sentence was recently vacated, and he was released on his own recognizance. Schuette declined comment on the specifics of the case. We felt it was the correct decision with respect

to seeking the truth, Schuette said. As to the lawsuit by local swine farmer Mark Baker against the Department of Natural Resources, Schuette he feels a solution should come from lawmakers. Baker is fighting a DNR order to get rid of certain breeds of pigs he raises. The DNR has said

it wants to avoid problems other states have seen with feral pigs destroying crops and running wild. Baker has argued, in part, that his pigs, which are a blend of the mangalitsa and Russian boar breeds, could not be considered feral because they are raised in captivity in a domestic environment. We need to protect pri-

vate property rights and also consider the issue of different species and how it impacts the hog population in the state, Schuette said. Ultimately, the final word, in Schuettes opinion, should come from Lansing. It begs for a legislative solution, he said.

Odd News Report: Fake officer stopped real police agents

LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) Authorities say a man driving a truck with police lights on top made a crucial misstep during a bogus police stop in northern New Mexico. Police say the two men he pulled over for speeding were real state police agents in an unmarked vehicle. According to New Mexico State Police, 26-year-old John Shelton, of Logan, was arrested Wednesday following the sham traffic stop in San Miguel County . Investigators say Shelton had a pistol on his hip and told the agents he was a member of the New Mexico State Police Search and Rescue and a trained law enforcement officer something officials later discovered wasnt true. Shelton is facing charges of impersonating an officer.

Interplanetary dust to light up night sky

This weekend will be prime time for watching meteor shower

In Brief Cadillac man subject of missing persons case

CADILLAC Michigan State Police continue to seek a Cadillac man, Kyle Allan Mosher, 27, who has been missing since July . Mosher was last seen July 20 near 7 Mile Road west of Moorestown in Missaukee County , a story Mosher that was first reported by the Cadillac News. A search of the area with police K-9 officers and aircraft failed to locate him. Family members are concerned for his safety , according to Michigan State Police Sgt. Scott Bates, and want to know if he is OK. In addition, Mosher is considered a wanted fugitive, Bates said, and is wanted in multiple counties. Mosher is 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 165 pounds, and has green eyes, short brown hair and a goatee. He has a large tattoo on the right side of his neck that reads Layla as well as other tattoos. He was last seen wearing blue shorts, sandals and a black tank top, and may be accompanied by a pit bull that is brown with uneven black streaks, also known as brindle colored. Anyone with information on Moshers whereabouts is asked to contact Michigan State Police at 231-779-6040 or the Houghton Lake Post at 989-422-5024.

This weekend, get out and look at the night sky . Expert and novice stargazers should be in for a show as the annual Perseid meteor shower is set to peak Friday through Monday, filling the sky with streaks of light, commonly known as shooting stars, according to NASA. The big showers like the Perseids, and the Leonids this November, are caused when Earth and its atmosphere travels through a region of the sky filled with leftover debris lost by a comet. In the case of the Perseids, the small fragments were ripped off the tail of comet Swift-Tuttle,

which orbits the sun once every 130 years. The fragments light up due to the immense friction created when they enter collide with the gas surrounding Earth. Each fragment is about the size of a dime, but the more constant, sporadic meteoroids have been around much longer, breaking down over time into tiny fragments only about as wide as a piece of human hair, according to NASA scientists. This is interplanetary dust, said Diego Janches, who studies micrometeoroids at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The fragments are either remnants from the solar systems formation, or they are produced by collisions between asteroids or comets from long ago.

The best opportunity to see the Perseid meteor shower is during the dark, pre-dawn hours Monday . For optimal viewing, look to the open sky , because Perseid meteors come across the sky from all directions. Lie on the ground and look straight up into the dark sky . Again, it is important to be far away from artificial lights. Remember, your eyes can take up to 30 minutes to adjust to the darkness, so allow plenty of time to acclimate to the dark. Although this weekend should prime viewing time, conditions are expected to be less than optimal here in Northern Michigan. According to Accuweather, a front is expected to move across the area, which poses a threat for heavy rain.

Beware of scammers promising gift cards

CADILLAC For a brief time, Jerry Tossey thought it was his lucky day . Recently , he received a postcard in the mail informing him that he was the lucky winner of a $100 gift card to either Walmart or Target. It gave him a number to call to claim his prize. When he called, he realized he hadnt won anything but instead was the target of a scam. I called them, and they said they needed my credit card number to charge the $1.75 for shipping and handling, he said. I hung up. He called Walmart and the Cadillac Michigan State Police Post and both informed him that it was a scam. Now, Tossy said he just wants others to be aware of the scam and hopefully not fall victim to the farce.

Man wins sideburns contest honoring Navy hero

ERIE, Pa. (AP) The winner has been named in a Pennsylvania sideburns contest that honors a U.S. Navy commodore known for his impressive facial hair. The Erie Times-News reports that 56-year-old Dave Baxter, of Lake City , Pa., topped 19 contestants on Wednesday evening. Contestants were asked to show their patriotic spirit by growing sideburns most like those of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. Baxter says he researched images of Perry to try and match the hero who commanded a nineship American fleet to victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813.

CADILLAC Athletes are gearing up for an event set to test their endurance. The Cadillac Festival of Races is set for Aug. 31 in downtown Cadillac at the city park. Courses will include the original 5K and 10K. The Cadillac Adventure triathlon will feature a 5K run, and 19K bike and 4K kayak races. As athletes prepare to push themselves, Gus Meyjes, physical therapist for Dynamic Physical Therapy, is giving competitors tips for healthy training techniques. Meyjes said the amount of training you do for each race should depend on the events you plan to enter. You can probably do a 5K with four to six weeks of training, Meyjes said. A 10K would be a little bit longer, and the adventure triathlon would require practical training as well. Many of the courses require endurance training, Meyjes said. He said running one mile three to four times a week is a good way to build endurance. Over time, the training should include an additional half-mile leading up to the complete distance of the 5K. Make sure you run at a pace that can still allow you to have a conversation without losing your breath, Meyjes said. That can determine if youre really in that aerobic zone, which will help you get through the whole event. A new event this year is the standup paddle board race. Meyjes said he decided to add paddle boarding to the list of activities because of its gained popularity in the state. He said paddle boarding is a great endurance sport,

The Cadillac Festival of Races will feature the original 5K, 10K and the addition of a standup paddle boat race along with the annual biking and kayaking events.
core stabilization exercise and a fun activity to do on the lake. Meyjes said various core stabilizing exercises such as planking and abdominal crunches can prepare athletes for paddle boarding. However, he said the best form of training is to just do it. Paddle boarding is a skill more than anything, so you really need to spend some time on the board, Meyjes said. You should also paddle the board in different conditions, such as wavy and windy conditions. Meyjes said failure to properly train for the courses can lead to physical risks such as strains and sprains. He said being a weekend warrior who has not properly committed to any training prior to the races can leave your body extremely sore the following day . If youre not used to the activity, the chances that you will have a tendon strain or a ligament tear increases, Meyjes said. Training should remain the same for competitors who may be older, he said. However, older individuals should adjust to their own training capacity . The training effects dont change

Cadillac News FILE PHOTO

with age, Meyjes said. Everyone can do this unless you have a medical condition that excludes you from training. This year will be the 41st year of the Cadillac Labor Day 10K. Awards will be given to the top three male and female winners in each age group and the overall male and female winners in each of the three races. A masters award will be given to each best triathlon male and female in the 50-and-older age group. He said the event is a great way to promote proper health habits. Meyjes said event organizers hope to make the event a community festival that can bring more tourism into the area. Wed like this to become a weekend destination for people across the state, Meyjes said. Wed like to have people come into town, do the race on a Saturday and spend the whole weekend. This can hopefully bring Cadillac more tourism. The Cadillac Festival of Races is a non-profit, and all proceeds go back to the community .

MCBAIN When McBain resident Kim Kuiper found out that her father, Kelly VanHouten, was diagnosed with melanoma, she was not aware just how serious the disease could be. It was quite a shock, Kuiper said. People think of it as just skin cancer. I didnt realize the hugeness of it. On April 19 of this year,

after a five-year battle, VanHouten, 68, passed away as a result of the illness. It was a kick in the gut, Kuiper said. As a way to spread awareness of melaVanHouten noma and raise money for research to find a cure, Kuiper and others in the family decided to orga-

nize a fundraising event centered around an activity VanHouten enjoyed walking. This is a way to take something awful that happened to us and turn it into a way to give back to the community , Kuiper said. They are calling it the Paint the Town Black 5K, which is a reference to the awareness color of melanoma and the fact that VanHouten was a painter. The 5K will be held on Sat-

urday at 9 a.m. at Northern Michigan Christian School, in McBain. Registration for the race begins at 7:30 a.m. The first 100 people with a minimum donation of $25 will receive a Paint the Town Black 5K T-shirt. All donations will go melanoma research at the University of Michigan. For more information on the 5K, call 878-6964 or email deruitermk@gmail.com.

HOXEYVILLE A rapidly spreading fire west of Cadillac Thursday afternoon was a reminder that although the busy spring fire season has passed, outdoor fires still can get out of hand quickly . Firefighters from three departments as well as the United States Forest Service were called out to a field in Wexford Countys Henderson Township around 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Cherry Grove Township Fire Chief Randy Miles said. The fire, at the intersection of 17 Road and 48 Road, was reported by a homeowner who was burning trash, Miles said. The Cadillac News was the only news organization at the scene. The man stepped away from the fire and went into the house momentarily to get a pair of gloves. When he came back out, the fire was running across the field, Miles said.

JEFF BRODDLE | CADILLAC NEWS A homeowner stepping away from a trash fire momentarily sparked a grass fire of several acres in Henderson Township Thursday afternoon.
The blaze scorched about four or five acres of grass. Responding to the scene were fire departments from Cherry Grove Township, South Branch Township and Selma Township, as well as the U.S. Forest Service. If it is necessary to burn trash or brush, its a good idea to do so in the early morning or late evening when humidity levels are higher, temperatures are cooler and winds are low, Miles noted. The middle of the afternoon is a prime time for fires to get out of control. And fires must be monitored at all times. People need to stay with their fires, Miles said. It only takes a minute or two for it take off.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Karen Black, the prolific actress who appeared in more than 100 movies and was featured in such counterculture favorites as Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces and Nashville, has died. Blacks husband, Stephen Eckelberry , says the actress died Wednesday from complications from cancer. She was 74. Known for her full lips and thick, wavy hair that seemed to change color from film to film, Black often portrayed women who were quirky , troubled or threatened. Her breakthrough was as a prostitute who takes LSD with Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda in 1969s Easy Rider, the hippie classic that helped get her the role of Rayette Dipesto, a waitress who dates and is mistreated by an upper-class dropout played by Jack Nicholson in 1970s Five Easy Pieces. Cited by The New York Times as a pathetically appealing vulgarian, Blacks performance won her an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe Award. She would recall that playing Rayette really was acting: The wellread, cerebral Black, raised in a comfortable Chicago suburb, had little in common with her relatively simple-minded character. In 1971, Black starred with Nicholson again in Drive, He Said, which Nicholson also directed. Over the next few years, she worked Black with such top actors and directors as Richard Benjamin (Portnoys Complaint), Robert Redford and Mia Farrow (The Great Gatsby) and Charlton Heston ( Airport 1975). She was nominated for a Grammy Award after writing and performing songs for Nashville, in which she played a country singer in Robert Altmans 1975 ensemble epic. Black also starred as a jewel thief in Alfred Hitchcocks last movie, Family Plot, released in 1976. The actress would claim that her career as an A-list actress was ruined by The Day of the Locust, a troubled 1975 production of the Nathanael West novel that brought her a Golden Globe nomination but left Black struggling to find quality roles. By the end of the 70s, she was appearing in television and in lowbudget productions. Black received strong reviews in 1982 as a transsexual in Altmans Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. But despite working constantly over the next 30 years, she was more a cult idol than a major Hollywood star. Her credits included guest appearances on such TV series as Law & Order and Party of Five and enough horror movies, notably Trilogy of Terror, that a punk band named itself The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black.

The First Amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Religion is so frequently a source of confusion in political life and so frequently dangerous to democracy, precisely because it introduces absolutes into the realm of relative values. Reinhold Niebuhr Theologian, 1971

I would like to remind fastfood workers and other proponents of the $15 per hour minimum-wage initiative of one thing: this is America. We are not China, India, or any country where opportunities are few and restrained by government. If an American worker demands $15 per hour, they have the opportunity to figure out a way to go and earn it just as Mr. McDonald, Miss Wendy and the Burger King have done. In the end, long hours of hard work and education will pay off handsomely in this great land. We certainly dont need a federally imposed, high-dollar minimum wage to help American workers get to their self-proclaimed Promise Land. Each morning workers must awake, arise, go to work and earn

Holding politicians accountable

Judging by the feedback about my criticisms of Dave Camp, youd of thought I just drowned a kitten. People are offended that I would scrutinize the voting record of Michigans prodigal son. Im sure it is upsetting for Mr. Camp, who has never debated an opponent in 22 years, never had a single line of bad press and never met a constituent in his gerrymandered district that didnt agree with him. Many contend that its a personal

grudge or a liberal drive-by attack. I guess thats how far weve moved away from the engaged citizenship needed for a functioning democracy . Since the August day in 1990 when Dave Camp stood in my driveway and asked for my vote, I have followed every policy position, every campaign donation and all of his votes. I have sent him every letter Ive written to this paper concerning him or his party . I have sent emails on issues like Medicare Part D, the vote to reform the coal industry , oil subsides and personal and corporate tax breaks. I have a box full of letters of response from Camps office, dating back 15

years. My criticisms of Congressman Camp are based on his actual votes. Mr. Camp didnt take an oath of office to serve Grover Norquist, donors or his fan club. His oath is to serve his constituency , and last time I looked, that would be me. And last time I looked, I was stilling living in the U.S., where I have a right and a duty as a citizen to scrutinize and expose Mr. Camps votes against public interests. Its called democracy . If youre incensed that I have the audacity to hold government officials accountable, than Ive got some land to sell you in North Korea. Youll love it there. No dissent permitted. Julie A.

economic and military assistance on other countries around the world. Historically , the top recipient has been Israel (more than $3 billion in fiscal year 2012), yet those billions have not compelled the Israeli government to stop settlements in the occupied territories, a top U.S. priority . Afghanistan is number two on the list. But with civilian casualties on the rise (up 23 percent in the first half of this year, according to the United Nations), Afghanistan will likely descend into a state of internecine conflict as the U.S. prepares to pull out by the end of 2014. This already is happening in Iraq (number four on the list), where a rash of bombings in the last month has brought the death toll to more than 3,000 since April. And why does the U.S. give more than $2 billion per year to Pakistan, a country that provides sanctuary to the Taliban, which is responsible for much of the carnage in Afghanistan? What do Angola, Cambodia, Chad, Haiti, Laos, Somalia, Sudan, Tajikistan,

Turkmenistan, Yemen and Zimbabwe have in common? They all receive U.S. foreign aid and, according to Transparency Internationals Corruption Perceptions Index, boast some of the most corrupt governments in the world strong-arm governments in most cases. If money cant buy the United States influence, its also not buying America a lot love. According to a recent Pew poll, in Egypt, Jordan and Pakistan only 16, 14 and 11 percent of their respective populations have a favorable view of the United States. And an analysis of the State Departments Voting Practices in the United Nations 2011 reveals that on what the State Department considers important resolutions the majority of countries that receive U.S. foreign aid voted against the United States the majority of the time. Egypt is a clarion call to stop throwing good money after bad. U.S. foreign aid to corrupt and authoritarian regimes, with no realistic expectation that well get a favorable payback, is a losing bet.

Editorial roundup Keeping secrets secret

Even before former National Security Agency consultant Edward Snowden exposed the breathtaking extent of the intelligence agencys electronic surveillance programs, civil libertarians worried that information obtained as part of anti-terrorism investigations might find its way to the criminal justice system and that Americans would be tried and convicted on evidence obtained without warrants, in violation of the 4th Amendment. Is that happening? As with much about the NSA, it is hard to be sure. Two recent news reports sent conflicting signals. The New York Times reported last week that the NSA had rebuffed requests that it share its data with law enforcement agencies that wanted to use the information to investigate crimes including drug trafficking, cyberattacks, money laundering, counterfeiting and even copyright infringement. That was encouraging. But two days later Reuters reported that a secretive unit of the Drug Enforcement Administration had been funneling information from intelligence intercepts, wiretaps, informants and a massive database of telephone records to authorities across the nation to help them launch criminal investigations of Americans. Moreover, Reuters reported, law enforcement agents had been directed to conceal how such investigations began. As far as we know, the DEA doesnt have access to the telephone records of virtually every American that the NSA has scooped up under a broad interpretation of the Patriot Act. But the Reuters story suggests that the DEA and other law enforcement agencies may be using other information obtained by the NSA, under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Under that law, the NSA with minimal supervision by the FISA court may examine the contents of the phone calls, email and social media postings of foreigners reasonably believed to be outside the United States. Inevitably some of those intercepted communications from foreigners will contain information about Americans as well. In June the Guardian published a memo from Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. setting forth procedures by which the NSA must minimize such information. Although data about Americans ordinarily must be discarded or redacted, the memo allows for their transmission to other agencies if there is evidence of the commission of a crime. The memo refers to a federal law that allows such information to be used in a criminal proceeding only with the advance approval of the attorney general. Even if one accepts that preventing terrorism requires extraordinary surveillance measures, those measures must not provide a back door for the prosecution of Americans for drug offenses or any other crime on the basis of evidence that wasnt obtained in accordance with the Constitution. As it rises from its somnolence to ask hard questions about the NSA, Congress needs to ensure that that door is closed. Los Angeles Times

Area home prices rising, following statewide figures

CADILLAC Area home prices have increased almost 11 percent over the same time last year, reflecting a statewide and nationwide trend of rising prices, according to a national firm, although some local real estate agents warn that prices have a long way to go to reach their former peak. On average, sellers in June received 12 percent more for their homes than they did in June of 2012, according to figures supplied by the Michigan Association of Realtors. According to MAR, one of its members, the Paul Bunyan Board of Realtors, saw the average sale price for a home increase from $89,245 in June, 2012 to $99,985 this past June. Prices increased even though the number of sales decreased only slightly, with 143 sales taking place in Wexford, Missaukee, Roscommon and Osceola counties compared to June 2012. The number of sales also is down year-to-date up to June, the latest figures available. Board members in the four-county area recorded 675 residential sales from January to June 2013, less

than the 686 recorded for the same time period last year. Local broker/owner Jim Meijer of Premier Realty said that in his experience, prices are not increasing, but the decline in prices has stopped, and there is more activity. Prices are down about 40 percent from 2006, Meijer said. On a positive note, some home owners who had been sitting on the sidelines are expressing interest in testing the market after seeing other properties sell next door or down the street, Meijer said. More of this so-called shadow inventory could come into play as more homeowners decide to list their homes, especially as their aspirations for a bigger or better home are triggered by life changes such as getting a new job or having another baby . Another local agent, Sheila Richardson, said she has not seen an increase in listing prices, but she has seen a boost in final sale prices. Richardson, who is treasurer for the Paul Bunyan Board of Realtors and franchise broker for Exit Realty , said she is seeing multiple offers on properties in some situations. Many sellers are receiving their first offers in the first 30 days,

On a positive note, some home owners who had been sitting on the sidelines are expressing interest in testing the market after seeing other properties sell next door or down the street, said Jim Meijer, owner of Premier Realty. More of this so-called shadow inventory could come into play as more homeowners decide to list their homes, especially as their aspirations for a bigger or better home are triggered by life changes such as getting a new job or having another baby.
a trend Richardson said she has seen in the past three months. Theres actually a shortage, Richardson noted, of move-in ready homes between in the $85,000 to $125,000 price range. According to real estate data provider CoreLogic, nationwide home prices surged 11.9 percent in June from a year earlier, reflecting stronger demand amid a tight supply of homes for sale. Home prices climbed on annual basis in 48 states. They fell only in Mississippi and Delaware. And all but one of the 100 largest cities reported price gains. Nevada led all states with an annual gain of 26.5 percent. That was followed by California (21.4 percent), Wyoming (16.7 percent), Arizona (16.2 percent) and Georgia (14.3 percent). On a monthly basis, U.S. home prices rose 1.9 percent in June from May , the 16th straight monthover-month increase. All told, U.S. home values increased 10 percent through the first six months of the year, the firm said. Trend in home price gains is moving at the fastest pace since 1977, said Mark Fleming, CoreLogics chief economist. Steady price increases are the latest sign of a recovery in housing. Stable job gains and still-low mortgage rates have encouraged more Americans to buy homes. Greater demand, along with few homes for sale, has helped push up

prices. One concern is that higher mortgage rates could slow home sales. But many economists say rates remain low by historical standards and would need to rise much faster to halt the momentum. Despite the gains since last year, home prices nationally are still about 19 percent below the peaks they reached in April 2006, CoreLogic said. Thats a key reason the supply of homes for sale remains low. Many homeowners are waiting to recoup their losses before putting their houses on the market. Home prices in Michigan peaked in November 2005, and still are 31 percent off from their peak price.

Suspected child abductor might have explosives

LAKESIDE, Calif. (AP) Authorities say a man suspected of abducting a 16-year-old Southern California girl might be armed with homemade explosives. San Diego County Sheriff s Capt. Duncan Fraser said Thursday that evidence recovered at James Lee DiMaggios home east of San Diego suggests he might have fled with explosives. The search for Hannah Anderson and her younger brother has reached four Western states, Canada and Mexico. The FBI and various state and local law enforcement agencies are assisting. Fraser says its possible DiMaggio was infatuated with the girl. Her mother was found dead at DiMaggios burning home near a dead child who might be the girls younger brother. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. APs earlier story is below. Amber Alerts expanded to Nevada, Oregon and Washington as authorities searched for a California man suspected of abducting a 16-year-old girl and wanted in the death of the girls mother and possibly her 8-year-old brother. Oregon state police said there was a possible sighting of James Lee DiMaggios blue Nissan Versa in northeast California near Alturas on Wednesday, followed by another about 50 miles along the same highway near Lakeview, in south-central Oregon. In Washington, State Patrol Trooper Russ Winger told KOMO Radio that a driver near Bremerton reported seeing a blue Nissan hatchback on Highway 101 on Thursday morning with a man driving and a woman passenger. Winger said a trooper checked the area and was unable to locate the car. The Amber Alert in Nevada was posted on Thursday . Investigators have said DiMaggio may be headed to Texas or Canada with 16-year-old Hannah Anderson and possibly her 8-year-old brother, Ethan, though investigators said a charred body discovered along with the mother could be the boy . Also Wednesday, a friend of Hannah Anderson said DiMaggio told Hannah he had a crush on her and would date her if they were the same age. DiMaggio explained that he didnt want the girls to think he was weird in an effort to defend himself after noticing they exchanged glances, 15-year-old Marissa Chavez said. She said he spoke while driving them home from a high school gymnastics meet a couple months ago. Hannah Anderson asked

Chavez to join her from then on whenever DiMaggio, 40, drove her to meets. She was a little creeped out by it. She didnt want to be alone with him, Chavez said. DiMaggio was like an uncle to Hannah and Ethan. He was very close with their parents for years. On Sunday night, authorities found the body of 42-year-old Christina Anderson when they extinguished flames at DiMaggios rural home. A childs body was found as they sifted through rubble in Boulevard, a tiny town 65 miles east of San Diego on the U.S.-Mexico border. The childs body has not been identified but it may be Ethans, sheriff s Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said late Tuesday . Christina Andersons father, Christopher Saincome, said Wednesday that his daughter visited DiMaggios home last weekend to say goodbye before he moved to Texas. DiMaggio, who works as a telecommunications technician at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, was a regular presence at the

Saincome said nothing seemed amiss when he called his daughter at work Friday to let her know she didnt call on his birthday. Anderson, a medical assistant, said she would call back that night but never did. Investigators had no evidence that the relationship between DiMaggio and the missing girl was more than friendly .

Yemen official: US drones kill 12 in 3 airstrikes

SANAA, Yemen (AP) The U.S. has sharply escalated its drone war in Yemen, with military officials in the Arab country reporting 34 suspected al-Qaida militants killed in less than two weeks, including three strikes on Thursday alone in which a dozen died. The action against al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, as the Yemen branch is known, comes amid a global terror alert issued by Washington. One Mideast official says the uptick is due to its leaders leaving themselves more vulnerable by moving from their normal hideouts toward areas where they could carry out attacks. The U.S. and Britain evacuated diplomatic staff from the capital of Sanaa this week after learning of a threatened attack that prompted Washington to close temporarily 19 diplomatic posts in the Middle East and Africa. Thursdays first reported drone attack hit a car carrying suspected militants in the district of Wadi Ubaidah, about 109 miles east of Sanaa, and killed six, a security official said. Badly burned bodies lay beside their vehicle, according to the official. Five of the dead were Yemenis, while the sixth was believed to be of another Arab nationality , he said.

Man accused of killing wife, posting photo

MIAMI (AP) A South Florida man who authorities say fatally shot his wife and apparently then posted a photo of her body on Facebook has turned himself into police. Miami-Dade police report that 31-year-old Derek Medina turned himself in Thursday , telling them he had shot 26-year-old Jennifer Alfonso. Detectives didnt immediately give a motive. Charges were pending. A post on a Facebook page identified as Medinas says, Im going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife. The post claims that his wife was punching him and that he wasnt going to stand any more abuse. The next post was a photograph showing a woman in black leotards, slumped on the floor with blood on her left arm and left cheek. The photo was up for more than five hours before the page became unavailable late Thursday afternoon.

Shelton Thomas Bell, of Jacksonville, is charged with two federal counts of trying to provide material support to terrorists.

A judge granted public defender Lisa Calls request that Bell be allowed to re-address the federal bail if anything changes in the states case. If convicted of the federal crimes, Bell could face up to 30 years in prison. of bottlenose dolphins are dying off the East Coast this summer, the deadliest period for the sea mammals since a virus killed off more than 700 in the late 1980s. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officials said Thursday that researchers are investigating what may have killed the 124 dolphins found stranded in coastal areas in the Mid-Atlantic region since July . The discoveries have led the federal agency to declare an unusual mortality event for bottlenose dolphins. The declaration means scientists will have access to additional research funding. That investigation and analysis by teams of national and international experts could take months or even years to finalize, and officials say there is likely little they can do to stop the deaths unless the root cause is ultimately blamed on humans.

2 suspects in Boston Marathon bombing indicted

BOSTON (AP) Two college friends of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were indicted Thursday for allegedly trying to throw away fireworks and other items they found in Tsarnaevs dorm room the day before his capture. Authorities later discovered the fireworks in a New Bedford landfill, the federal indictment says. Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, both 19 and nationals of Kazakhstan, face charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice. The two, who were in the U.S. attending college and shared an apartment in New Bedford, have been detained since they were charged in a criminal complaint in May . If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison. Both are scheduled for arraignment Tuesday . Tazhayakovs attorney , Arkady Bukh, said his client did nothing wrong and hes tried for months to convince authorities to drop the case. For me, this sounds like a witch hunt, he said. And this is the same view (my) client has. guilty . Also Thursday, a hearing scheduled for Monday for a third Tsarnaev friend charged in the case was canceled. Robel Phillipos is accused of lying to investigators about visiting Tsarnaevs dorm room. In court documents, his attorneys say theyre in talks that could resolve the case. Tsarnaev, Kadyrbayev, Tazhayakov and Phillipos were all students at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. On April 18, FBI investigators working the bombing posted pictures of Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, an alleged co-conspirator who died during the manhunt for the suspects. According to the indictment, that day Kadyrbayev received a text message from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev suggesting that, if he wanted, he could go to Tsarnaevs and take whats there. The indictment alleges that Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov removed several items from the room that evening, including Tsarnaevs laptop computer and a backpack containing fireworks, which were opened so their ex-

The indictment says that night, after Tazhayakov agreed, Kadyrbayev put the backpack with the fireworks and jelly in a garbage bag, and tossed the bag in a trash bin outside the apartment. The next morning, after Tsarnaev had been identified as a bombing suspect in multiple news reports, they allegedly watched as a garbage truck emptied the bin. But Bukh said his client never agreed to anything regarding disposal of the fireworks and backpack. And Stahl said Kadyrbayev fully cooperated with the FBI, including by turning over Tsarnaevs laptop and telling them where they could find the backpack. Despite the rush to judgment and, now, the present charges, Dias trusts the American justice system and looks forward to proving his innocence at trial, Stahl said.

Police: 4 dead, 4 wounded in Dallas shootings

DALLAS (AP) A former teacher who once moonlighted as a hip-hop dancer entertaining NBA crowds has been arrested in the fatal shooting of four people in two Dallas-area homes, and police said Thursday he used an explosive device in one of the attacks. Bowser Investigators arrested Erbie Bowser, 44, on Wednesday night at the second crime scene, DeSoto police Cpl. Melissa Franks said. Charges are pending, she said. Four youths were also wounded in the attacks, two in each home. Franks said the attacks were a domestic incident and that investigators were trying to determine how Bowser knew the victims. The first shooting took place at a house in southwest Dallas late Wednesday and the second happened about 15 minutes later in DeSoto, about 10 miles away, Dallas police Sgt. Warren Mitchell said. Police were called around 10:30 p.m. to the home in Dallas where they found four gunshot victims. Police say 43-yearold Toya Smith and her 17-year-old daughter, Tasmia Allen, were slain at the home. Her 14-year-old son was wounded, as was a 17-year-old girl described as a family friend. After the shootings at the Dallas home, police allege, the gunman then fled to DeSoto, where hes suspected of killing two women. Two boys, ages 11 and 13, were shot but survived that attack, Franks said, adding that it was a child at the residence who dialed 911. Carolyn Webb, a family friend of the victims in the DeSoto house, said those killed were a woman who was divorcing the suspect and the womans adult daughter. He just torn so many hearts, she said. Police said an explosive was used at the DeSoto house. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is providing technical assistance in the investigation, spokesman John Morrison said. The Dallas Mavericks said Thursday that Bowser was a dancer for the team, performing with the Dallas Mavs ManiAACs. The team describes the dance troupe as beefy men who entertain fans during games. Bowser danced with the group from 2002 to 2009.

The other two winning tickets were sold in New Jersey , including in a coastal community that is still recovering from Superstorm Sandy . But no one had stepped forward to claim either of those two shares as of Thursday afternoon. day evening. Police say the man who beat Meyers was arrested at the scene and remains in a county jail facing felonious assault charges. They say they expect murder charges to be presented to a grand jury soon. A judge has set a $100,000 cash-only bond for the man, whose attorney hasnt returned a request for comment made Thursday . Police say both men stayed at the Toledo Gospel Rescue Mission. The mission says its goal is to minister to the spiritual and physical needs of the homeless and poor. The military lawyers ordered to help Maj. Nidal Hasan had asked the judge to either scale back their advisory duties or allow them to take over his defense. They believe Hasan is trying to convince jurors to convict him and sentence him to death for the attack that killed 13 people and wounded 32 others at the Texas military base. The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, denied that request Thursday in a heated exchange with the lead standby attorney , saying it was clear that the lawyers simply disagreed with Hasans defense strategy . Hasan has been largely silent during the trial, and he objected only once Thursday as nearly a dozen witnesses testified.

DETROIT Another day , another season-ending injury . That's life in the NFL during training camp. On Wednesday , the Bears became the latest team to lose a starter for the season when cornerback Kelvin Hayden suffered a torn hamstring. In the past two weeks, the Packers (left tackle Bryan Bulaga), Eagles (receiver Jeremy Maclin), Broncos (center Dan Koppen), Ravens (tight end Dennis Pitta) and Chargers (receiver Danario Alexander) have lost starters for the year to leg injuries, and Falcons right tackle Mike Johnson left the team facility in an ambulance Tuesday after suffering a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula. The Lions' injury woes have been minor.

Stewart suffered an injured shoulder in the Lions' exhibition finale against the Bills and never played another down. The Lions, with Shawn Bryson as their leading rusher, finished 5-11 that year, and center Dominic Raiola said Stewart's injury cast a pall on the regular season. Two years later, Jeff Garcia suffered a fractured fibula in another exhibition game with the Bills. Stuck with Joey Harrington as their quarterback most of the year, the Lions again went 5-11. "That really can change your whole season," Raiola said. "At the time, you still have a belief but there's a part missing, I guess." In 2011, Nick Fairley (broken foot) and Mikel Leshoure (torn Achilles tendon) suffered injuries in the first week of camp, but the Lions still made the playoffs for the first time in a dozen years. The secret to their survival? Like most every team that wins in the NFL, good depth, better timing and enduring health at other key positions.

CLEVELAND Max Scherzer became baseball's first 17-game winner and the Detroit Tigers posted their 12th straight victory, routing the Cleveland 10-3 Thursday night. Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs as the AL Central leaders completed a four-game sweep and opened a seven-game lead over the Indians. Scherzer (17-1) allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings. He helped the Tigers beat Cleveland for the 12th time in their last 13 meetings. The Tigers have won 12 in a row for the first time since Sept. 2-14, 2011. Coupled with a 13-game winning streak by idle Atlanta, this marks the first time in major league history that two teams have had winning streaks of at least 12 games at the same time during a season since May 16, 1884, STATS said. That was the only other time it occurred the St. Louis Maroons had won 15 straight, the New York Gothams had taken 12 in a row. Cleveland's futility for the series was summed up when manager Terry Francona let utilityman Ryan Raburn pitch the ninth inning. Raburn retired three straight hitters, striking out Matt Tuiasosopo, in his professional pitching debut and drew a standing ovation. Cabrera drew a basesloaded walk during a sixrun third and hit a two-run single in the fifth, giving him 105 RBIs this season. That gave Scherzer a huge cushion. He retired the first nine hitters, struck out five and one. He also recorded the 1,000th strikeout of his career when he fanned Jason Kipnis to end the first. Scherzer threw 100 pitches, and left with a 2.84 ERA this year. The right-hander is 4-0, allowing four earned runs in 28 1-3 innings, since starting for the AL in the All-Star game. Zach McAllister (4-7) allowed six runs in 2 1-3 innings, his shortest start of the season.

Former GVSU QB died from pneumonia, had brain disease

By DAVID EGGERT Associated Press

LANSING A former college football star who disappeared in the Michigan wilderness during a fishing trip died of pneumonia caused by inhaling his vomit, after he became disoriented possibly because of a painkiller combined with having a degenerative brain disease, according to a report released Thursday . The updated autopsy said 30-year-old Cullen Finnerty's anxiety and paranoia in the woods the night of May 26 may have been exacerbated by an elevated level of oxycodone along with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the brain disease that has been found in a number of ex-football players. Finnerty's brain was studied at Boston University , which cautioned that it was highly unlikely the disease which was moderate alone led to his death. "CTE possibly affected his judgment, insight and behavior, but there are other factors, including the use of medications prescribed by his doctor, that most likely contributed to the circumstances surrounding his death," the school's Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy said in a state-

ment. "Unfortunately because of the complexity of his medications and medical status, it is impossible to determine the specific combination of factors that led to his tragic death." What killed the record-setting Grand Valley State signal-caller, one of the winningest quarterbacks in college football history , has been a mystery for 2 months. An initial autopsy determined he had a "slightly enlarged heart and slightly cloudy lungs" but no trauma to the body . The final report from a local medical examiner includes toxicology results and the determination that he had CTE. "The only people that will know will be Cullen and God," his father, Tim Finnerty , told The Associated Press on Thursday . "Who knows? There are all these theories." He said his son also was taking a thyroid medicine at the time of his death, and the devastated family he left behind a wife and two children wonders if high doses could have caused him to become violently sick and confused.

turned out, it was the last time they would see him alive. His body was found May 28 within a mile of where he had disappeared. In two brief phone conversations with family members, Finnerty sounded disoriented, complained of being tailed and said he was taking off his clothes.

Finnerty's wife told investigators he had a past addiction to painkillers but had not taken any drugs since spending time in a rehabilitation center more than a year earlier. Jennifer Finnerty said it was not the first time he had a "paranoid" episode. Instead of driving home from Detroit a year-and-a-half earlier, he took off for Grand Rapids due to fears the FBI would follow him, she said. She said her husband remained in a state of panic for four to five days. In the autopsy report, Kent County Chief Medical Examiner Stephen Cohle said Finnerty likely became incapacitated and inhaled his vomit. Though relatives reported that Finnerty had a number of alcoholic drinks the day he died, Cohle said his blood-alcohol level was "negligible" and did not contribute to his incapacitation. The report said it was likely Finnerty had anxiety, disorientation and paranoia from being alone in the woods while waiting for his in-laws to pick him up. Cohle said the painkiller was prescribed to Finnerty for back injuries likely sustained during his football career.ell and sold medical devices for a living.

Payton ready to get back on sideline with Saints

By GUERRY SMITH Associated Press

METAIRIE, La. Finally , Saints coach Sean Payton gets to do what he loves the most. Nearly 19 months after he coached his last game, Payton will be back on the sideline when New Orleans plays the Kansas City Chiefs in an exhibition opener Friday night at the Superdome. It won't come close to matching the intensity of his last game, a pulsating, excruciating 36-32 loss at San Francisco in the divisional round of the 2011 playoffs. But the dome should be rocking for his return from an unprecedented year-long suspension for his role in the bounty scandal. "Just getting back to being out on the field in practice and having a chance to coach in a regular game, that part of it is exciting," Payton said. "The fans have been great. They get excited about our team, especially at the start of the season after everything that went on a year ago. I know our players are excited to play ."

Much has changed since Payton walked off the field at Candlestick Park on Jan. 14, 2012, ruing a heartbreaking end to the Saints' season. In a game with four lead changes in the last 4:02, the 49ers won on a 14-yard touchdown reception with 9 seconds left. New Orleans, which was 9-0 at home, would have played host to the New York Giants in the NFC championship game the following week. Without Payton, the Saints slipped to 7-9 last year, losing their first four games en route to their first sub-.500 season since 2007. After setting an NFL record for most yards gained in 2011, New Orleans shattered the mark for most yards allowed in 2012. Then-defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, hired by Payton before his suspension, was fired and replaced by Rob Ryan. The Saints have changed to a 3-4 alignment from a 4-3. Drew Brees, who threw for an NFL-record 5,476 yards in 2011, tied the NFL high with 19 interceptions in 2012. Chiefs quarterback Chase Daniel, slated to play the sec-

ond quarter after spending the last three years with the Saints as Brees' backup, had an inside view of the New Orleans locker room without Payton. "It was one of the toughest years professionally in my short career that I've been through," Daniel said. "It's hard when you lose your rock and your head coach like Sean Payton is down there. I think Drew put a little extra pressure on himself to fill the player and the head coach void. " Daniel knows it will not be the normal preseason atmosphere at the dome. "Well, I talked to the ticket guy a couple days ago, and it's sold out," he said. "It's Sean Payton's first game really in like two years. The New Orleans fans love their football and it doesn't matter if it's preseason, offseason, Super Bowl, regular season. They're going to be out in full force, and it's going to be loud." Payton's last game in the Superdome was a 45-28 win against Detroit on Jan. 7, 2012 in the NFC wild-card round. He will call plays for the first

time since Nov . 6, 2011, when he tore his left MCL and broke his leg in a sideline collision during a game at Tampa Bay . He gave up the play calling to offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael for the rest of 2011, but has reclaimed that duty . Payton played down his emotions a bit Thursday , but his players anticipate a raucous atmosphere. "It's going to be live," safety

Malcolm Jenkins said. "It's loud every time we go into the dome, and with Sean's return and just the anticipation that seems to be buzzing around this season, everyone is going to be very excited."

NCAA getting out of jersey-selling business

By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

The NCAA is getting out of the memorabilia business. NCAA President Mark Emmert said Thursday it would stop the practice immediately after reports this week that team jerseys and other items linked to individual schools could be found on its own website by searching for specific player names. "I think seeing the NCAA sell those kinds of goods is a

mistake," Emmert said during a conference call with reporters. "It's not what the NCAA is about. So we're not going to be doing that any longer." The NCAA is being sued by former players and a handful of current college players in federal court over the use of athlete images and likenesses. And just this past week, ESPN reported that the NCAA is investigating Heisman Trophy-winner Johnny Manziel for allegedly being paid to sign memorabilia, which

if true could jeopardize eligibility as a violation of NCAA amateurism rules. Emmert said the commercial site won't be completely removed because there is still a market for generic NCAA apparel. He said the NCAA had hired another company to run the site, ShopNCAASports.com. Mark Lewis, the NCAA's executive vice president for championships and alliances, also released a statement, saying university merchandise would not be offered, either.

Vick to start, split time with Foles vs. Patriots

PHILADELPHIA Michael Vick or Nick Foles? Might as well flip a coin. Vick will start for the Philadelphia Eagles in their preseason opener against New England on Friday night only because it's his turn to go first in the quarterback rotation. Foles also will take snaps with the starters, and the second-year pro will start the second preseason game. "It was Mike's day in the rotation, that was the easiest way for us to do it and then we'll make sure the rotation works out that Nick will get the start next week," coach Chip Kelly said Thursday . "The two of those guys, we feel like we've got it balanced out. We met with those guys this morning. They were great with it, so that's kind of our plan going in."

Both Vick and Foles are expected to get between 12 and 20 snaps vs. the Patriots. The two QBs have been competing for the No. 1 job since Kelly's arrival in Philadelphia. "It doesn't mean anything," Vick said about the start. "The only thing I want to do is go out there and have fun, play the game, play with a purpose, enjoy every snap, try to make the most out of it as long as I'm out there and just try to be consistent like I have throughout camp and have fun playing the game." Rookie Matt Barkley will come in after Vick and Foles in the second quarter and play through the third. Dennis Dixon and G.J. Kinne will play the fourth. The Eagles and Patriots concluded three days of join practices before facing each other on the field at Lincoln

Financial Field. "I've said it all along, it's very difficult to evaluate somebody in just helmets and shorts," Kelly said. "That's not how the game is played, so obviously I think our practices from an intensity level, we're ramping up a little here just because the Patriots are here. "On both sides I thought it was great work for us. For guys that are competing right now, the preseason has to be the same way . If that's not your approach as a player, you're going to get passed on by ." While Kelly uses the preseason games to evaluate who will be his starting quarterback, the Patriots are in an enviable position. They have two-time NFL and Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady . Third-year pro Ryan Mallet is the backup followed by Tim Tebow .

Colts embrace global flavor

By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

ANDERSON, Ind. Walk around Colts training camp, and it's like taking a trip around the world. "You were born in Japan, too?" offensive lineman Emmett Cleary asked receiver Rodrick Rumble after one recent practice. "Yeah, man," Rumble said as the two undrafted rookies walked into the locker room together. Rumble didn't last long. He was one of two players cut Thursday morning. But there are nearly a dozen others around with international connections. Linebacker Bjoern Wer-

ner, Indy's top draft pick, first came to the U.S. as an exchange student from Germany , Kenya's Daniel Adongo is trying to make the transition from rugby player to linebacker, right tackle Gosder Cherilus lived in Haiti until he was 12. Linebacker C.O. Prime is a Quebec native. Cleary was born in Tokyo and Rumble on an American military base in Yokosuka before moving to Washington state. The parents of defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois and fullback Stanley Havili moved to the U.S. after living in Haiti and Tonga. And then there are the

world travelers. Andrew Luck spent part of his childhood living in London and Germany where his father, Oliver, worked, and linebacker Jerrell Freeman starred in the CFL before setting a Colts record with 203 tackles in 2012. Before becoming the best clutch kicker in NFL history, Adam Vinatieri was making field goals for Amsterdam in the World League of American Football, and defensive lineman Aubrayo Franklin took his first professional snaps in Frankfurt, Germany . It makes for some interesting conversations on the Anderson University campus.

The STREAM & LAKE MAP OF MICHIGAN resembles another map known to Pennsylvania anglers as the Lost Stream Map. The Stream Map of Pennsylvania was completed in 1965 after a thirty-year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn State Professor. Professor Higbee succeeded in creating a map of the highest detail possible a map that shows every stream and lake. He painstakingly plotted by hand, the location of 45,000 miles of streams onto a 3 by 5 foot map. The map sold extremely well until it was lost several years after it first appeared in print. Incredibly, the printer entrusted with the original drawing and printing plates, declared bankruptcy, then carelessly hauled Higbees 30 years of work to a landfill. The few remaining dog-eared copies became a prized fishermans possession. Professor Higbee was offered $400 for one of his last maps. And state agencies were forced to keep their copies under lock and key. Experts told Professor Higbee that reprints were impossible, because the maps were printed in non-photographic blue. Then in 1991, at the age of 91, Howard Higbees dream came true. Computers made it possible to reprint the map. Holding an updated map, Howard said, I never thought Id live to see this day. Then, by combining Professor Higbees knowledge with computer technology the STREAM & LAKE MAP OF MICHIGAN was created. STREAM MAPS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR:

Scott, Furyk tied for lead at Oak Hill; Woods six back
By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

PITTSFORD, N.Y. With every major, Adam Scott is making a convincing case that he isn't satisfied with just a green jacket. Scott ran off five straight birdies early in his round at soft and vulnerable Oak Hill, and finished with a 15-foot par for a 5-under 65 that gave him a share of the lead Thursday with Jim Furyk in the PGA Championship. Scott finally became a major champion at Augusta National in April when he won a playoff at the Masters. Just three weeks ago, he had the lead on the back nine at Muirfield in the British Open until he made four bogeys to fall back. In the last major of the year, Scott at times looked unstoppable. His five straight birdies quickly put him atop the leaderboard with Furyk, and after a 71-minute delay when storms moved into the area, Scott added a sixth birdie on the par-3 15th to reach 6 under. He was on pace to tie the major championship record at Oak Hill until a three-putt bogey on the 16th. "Just got on a bit of a roll and hit a few shots close," Scott said. "I didn't have too much putting to do. You've got to take advantage when it happens, because it doesn't happen too much in the majors. Nothing to complain about in 65." There were hardly any complaints on Oak Hill, a course that has yielded only 10 72-hole scores

under par in five previous majors. It's only Thursday , and the players felt as if they got off easy . Rain overnight and humid conditions kept the course soft, and birdies were dropping at an alarming pace. Except for Tiger Woods. The world's No. 1 player made only two birdies despite playing in the still of the morning, and he watched his round fall apart with a bogey on par-5 fourth and a double bogey on his final hole when his flop shot out of a deep rough floated into a bunker. Woods had a 71, not a bad start at Oak Hill, except on this day . There were 35 rounds under par, compared with only a dozen rounds in the 60s when the PGA Championship was here 10 years ago. "The round realistically could

have been under par easily," Woods said. Furyk, who won his lone major at the U.S. Open in 2003 at Olympia Fields, has gone nearly three years since his last win at the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup and win PGA Tour player of the year. Still fresh are the four close calls from a year ago, including the U.S.

Open. He was as steady as Scott, rarely putting himself in trouble until the end of the round. Furyk missed the fairway to the right and had to pitch out because of thick rough and trees blocking his way to the green. That led to his only bogey , but still his lowest first-round score in 19 appearances at the PGA Championship. "Usually disappointed with ending the day on a bogey," Furyk said. "But you know, 65, PGA, is not so bad." David Hearn of Canada, an alternate until a week ago, had a 66 in the morning. Also at 66 was Lee Westwood, who had his best score ever in the PGA and offered evidence that there was no hangover from losing a 54-hole lead in the British Open last month. There were no record scores at Oak Hill despite the soft conditions, just a lot of low rounds. "If you don't hit it in the fairways, then you won't score well," Westwood said. "These guys are good. There are a lot of good players playing in the tournament. Somebody is going to hit it straight, and somebody is going to shoot a good score." Even Rory McIlroy got in on the act. The defending champion, at the end of a major season that has been a major disappointment, came out firing with three birdies on the opening four holes and made the turn in 32 until back-to-back bogeys. He wound up with a 69.

Litke: In game of misses, Furyk misses least

PITTSFORD, N.Y . If golf in the same matter-of-fact way pro golfers can recount really is a game of misses, every shot of every round Jim Furyk was having one of those days where he didnt theyve ever played. The 98 Masters; miss much. I bogeyed 15, hit it Despite making in the water and his only bogey of lost by two. 98 Birkthe opening round dale ...

Never mind other half-hour. that hed just vaulted to the Yeah, its disappointing, top of the leaderboard at the Furyk summed up, but this PGA Championship. sport beats you up. If I played Im on a nice little high, 25 events a year and I win one but yall are trying to bring event a year for my entire me down, Furyk began. Damn. No wonder you guys career, you would be a hell of are on that side (of the room). a player. Furyk is that hes won 16 You have bad thoughts too times on the PGA Tour and often. Yet once the nervous laugh- another handful of tournaments overseas. Those acter ended, Furyk dutifully complishments, along with listed the major disappointments off the top of his head, the 2010 Player of the Year swing against rivals with picture-book moves and more coaches covering every facet of their game than some NFL staffs. No one needs to remind him the window of opportunity is closing. Less than one hour after Furyk duck-hooked a tee shot at No. 16 and let last years U.S. Open slip from his grasp, he reacted angrily to what was essentially the same question he was asked at the end of Thursdays session here namely , whether he would be able to put the disappointment behind him. Two years ago I was the player of the year. I played poorly last year, and all of a sudden Im middle-aged. I got to be honest with you with you, that pisses me off, he said. So, yeah, I think I have a few more good years. But his record in the five majors since says otherwise: tied for 34th at the British Open and 42nd at the PGA in 2012; T25 at the Masters and missed cuts at the U.S. and British Opens this year. Those memories, in part, explained Furyks wry assessment of his fast start at Oak Hill, particularly since he was putting better than he had in a while. Felt great today . Doesnt mean its going to feel great tomorrow or whatever. But I feel like Im moving in the right direction, he said, a nod to consecutive Top-10 finishes in his last two tournaments. Ive always had a lot of confidence and my short game has always been a strength. Furyk hardly needed reminding, either, of how razor-thin a margin he carved out with a hot putter. To cope with the brawny 7,163-yard, par-70 layout, he had to hit driver off seven tees. Tiger Woods, far from the longest hitter in the game anymore, used his only once; Phil Mickelson opted to leave the big stick out of his bag this week altogether. Furyk conceded that without putting well, it was getting tougher to handle the pressure it put on the rest of the game. But for one day at least, the bad memories were behind him and the pressures of holding onto the lead were still 24 hours away . Did you have any idea that 64 was the course record here? someone asked. Judging by his answer, that might have been the one miss all day Furyk minded least. No, he said, brightening. No idea.

McIlroy glad to be back at PGA

By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

Lost opportunity for Tiger Thursday

DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

PITTSFORD, N.Y. Rory McIlroy is sure glad to be back at the PGA Championship. It showed. Having endured plenty of wayward shots this season, the 24-year-old was feeling more positive about his game after opening with a 1-under 69 on Thursday at Oak Hill in the final major of the year. He probably hasn't felt this good since last year's PGA blowout at Kiawah Island, where he was on top of the golf world after a record eight-stroke victory . Sure, it's a different course. But McIlroy will take any little edge he can get. "To come back here, it gives me some confidence," he said. Taking advantage of a venerable course softened up by overnight showers,

McIlroy played especially well on the front nine other than knocking his ball in the water at No. 5, leading to a bogey . Four birdies put him on the leaderboard at the turn with a 3-under 32. Alas, he couldn't keep it going. The back side started with back-to-back bogeys before play was halted because of approaching thunderstorms. Still, it had to be encouraging to McIlroy that he pulled himself together during the 71-minute break. He birdied the 12th, shook off a bogey at the 17th and scrambled for par at the final hole after an errant tee shot. Asked if he considered the round a success or just plain frustrating, McIlroy left no doubt where he stood. "Today was definitely positive," he said. "I felt like I played really , really well." Certainly good compared to the way it's gone most of the year. After changing

equipment, McIlroy has been trying desperately to recapture the form that carried him to dominant victories in both of his major championships. McIlroy wasn't much of a factor at either the Masters or the U.S. Open, and was downright lost at the British Open three weeks ago. He opened with an 8-over 79, pretty much assuring he wouldn't make it to the weekend before he even got to Friday , the most embarrassing moment coming when he putted his ball into

Charlie Riedel | the associated press

a bunker. "Sometimes, I feel like I'm walking out there and I'm unconscious," he moaned at the time. "It's a very alien feeling." McIlroy thought about consulting a sports psychologist, but didn't follow through. He dismissed the advice of six-time major champion Nick Faldo, who suggested McIlroy was spending too much time worrying about his off-thecourse pursuits. The youngster just kept heading to the range, confident he would eventually sort things out.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. Oak Hill was there for the taking. Tiger Woods gave away too many chances. Woods had everything he needed to start the final major championship of the year on a good note. The conditions were soft, still and ideal for scoring. He was one shot out of the lead Thursday morning in the PGA Championship when he made the turn, and there was nothing to suggest he would stray too far away . Instead, he staggered off the course with double bogey on his last hole for a 1-over 71. That's not bad on a course where there typically is a premium on par. It just looked ordinary compared with the 28 rounds at par or better from other early starters in the opening round. A wasted opportunity? "A little bit," Woods said. That was a phrase he mentioned three times when

going over a round that featured four tough putts for par, but a round that should have been in red numbers. Oddly enough, it was his best stretch of golf that stalled his round. After making the turn at 2 under with a simple bunker save on the 18th hole Woods had 11 putts on the back nine he hit his approach 12 feet below the cup on No. 1. His shot into the par-4 second hole caught the side of a hill and settled 4 feet away as the largest crowd at Oak Hill roared. Woods drilled his tee shot on the 214-yard third hole to 10 feet left of the hole. He missed every putt, and he missed them badly . The worst of them was at No. 2, when Woods said he should have taken more time except that his group was on the clock. It was a side hill putt, difficult even from 4 feet on the greens at Oak Hill. Woods was so tentative that the ball fell sharply to the right and never even touched the cup.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Robert Griffin III handled the coin toss, and Kirk Cousins picked up where he left off last season filling in at quarterback for Washington. Cousins threw for a touchdown and missed only one pass as the Redskins edged the Tennessee Titans 22-21 Thursday night in their preseason opener. The Redskins sat eight starters, including Griffin, who warmed up and was on the field dressed. Cousins looked sharp in Griffins place, completing six of seven passes for 52 yards and a TD for a 137.2 passer rating in two series for the defending NFC East champs. The Titans showed off their revamped run game as Chris Johnson scored on a 58-yard burst. Tennessee had 92 yards rushing and a 14-7 lead after the first quarter; Shonn Greene added a 19-yard TD run. Pat White scored on a 9-yard TD run with 2:23 left and found Emmanuel Ogbuehi for the 2-point conversion to avoid overtime.

CLEVELAND Brandon Weeden made coach Rob Chudzinskis debut a success, and may have stopped any quarterback controversy before it started. Weeden threw a touchdown pass and led Cleveland on two scoring drives, and Travis Benjamin returned a punt 91 yards for a TD as the Browns won Chudzinskis first exhibition game, 27-19 over the St. Louis Rams on Thursday night. Weeden finished 10 of 13 for 112 yards, a performance that should help end any talk of a quarterback competition in Cleveland. Chudzinski has not yet chosen Weeden his starter, but the second-year QB did everything he needed to secure the job. Weeden hooked up with running back Dion Lewis, starting for Trent Richardson, for a 2-yard TD on the first play of the second quarter. St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford threw a 3-yard TD pass to Chris Givens as Rams coach Jeff Fisher left his starting offense in after Benjamins runback made it 17-0.

Campers discover fun and adventure on river trip

A mid-afternoon swim break is a welcome break during their downriver trip.

wriggles under the log and seconds later he calls out. Its like ice. It is so cold. They follow him, clambering over the fallen cedar to see for themselves before turning and heading back up the bank. At the top Alex sees a giant white pine leaning into the forest. To him its a natural ladder. To me its an accident waiting to happen. Im going up, he says, his hand on the first branch. No, I answer. Not now. If you want to, bring your folks back here and let them decide. A persistent and fairly loud buzzing ends the white pine discussion as we all focus on the ground where the sound originates. We pull away the ferns and leaves finding a cicada, that continues to vibrate its distinctive sound. Continuing on, we briefly follow a two track, noting tiny hoof tracks, which Mark is sure are those of a fawn. Hes probably right, we decide. Then I point out a couple conical depressions in the sand made by ant lions. I tell them how these tiny insects lay at the bottom of these inverted cones waiting for prey , usually ants, to tumble down where they will be snatched by the lions pincer-like claws. The trail crosses railroad tracks and the boys are drawn like magnets to the trestle bridge spanning the river, where they begin pitching rocks toward the water. Mark wants to cross the bridge and the others, I can see, are ready to follow. No way , I tell them. You might fall and besides what if a train comes. We would just lay on the edge of the ties hanging beyond the tracks. The train would miss us, says Dereck. I am not convinced and redirect their attention by telling them we are near a creek. Indeed just across the tracks at the base of a ravine is a small stream. Several kneel, putting their hands in the water and pronouncing it freezing. Seeing a long wood-plank bridge crossing the creek, Mark challenges us to see who can cross it in the fewest steps. With a running start and then a series of leaps and skips Mark gets to the other end in nine steps. The rest of us follow covering the distance in nine or 10 bounds. I make it in 10 so am not alone in last place. Sage using his 6-foot height to his advantage clears it in eight. Exploring springs, firing rocks into a river, watching insects, examining animal tracks and staging impromptu jumping contests none of this would have happened if I were walking alone or with other adults. Youth, rather than just watch and listen, instead see possibilities and must interact with what is new and different. They have to find out about it for themselves.

of kids. We arrive back at the campsite as it is getting dark. Soon a campfire is burning and we sit around it roasting marshmallows and making smores. The next morning the dew is thick on the grass and the air is crisp. Seth and I fry up three packages of bacon while the kids line up for meat and consume Pop Tarts. Not a meal most adults would love, but wildly popular with this group. By 9:30 a.m., we are launched and heading downriver to Baxter Bridge. Perhaps an hour later our canoes are grouped together and suddenly an eagle, not 50 feet away , glides from a branch, swoops, wings stretched out across the river and then alights in a big pine, where it sits posing for us as we pass directly beneath. I dont think Ive ever had a better eagle sighting. Its a great memory to have as we near the end of our trip.

Abuse survivor needs mom in his corner D

EAR AMY: My sons fiancee recently told me that my son was molested from age 9 to 13 by a baby sitter. Im sure this is the reason my son had so many problems when he was young. He was a great athlete and did very well in school most of the time, but when he hit puberty he stopped caring about anything. He started drinking and doing drugs. He was still a great kid, but you could tell there was something wrong. The baby sitter lived at my house for two years because he had been kicked out of his house and had nowhere to go. He was 19 when he moved in. My son is now 30 years old, and he doesnt know that his fiancee spoke to me about this. Evidently my son thinks I knew this was going on! It breaks my heart every day that he thinks that. I am just lost. The other problem is the molesters mother is one of my best friends now. I want to confront this man (who is now about 40 years old), but I dont know what to do. I feel so terrible for my son knowing that he has lived with this for so long. I

Cardinal: Pope Francis talks about love more than abortion

SAN ANTONIO (AP) A U.S. cardinal who is an adviser to Pope Francis is responding to concerns among some Roman Catholics that the pope hasnt spoken out enough against abortion. In a speech Tuesday to the Knights of Columbus, Boston Cardinal Sean OMalley said Francis emphasizes love and mercy to show what underpins church teaching. Francis does so to open hearts in an increasingly secular world, the cardinal said. We oppose abortion, not because we are mean or old-fashioned, but because we love people. And that is what we must show the world, OMalley said. We must love all people, even those who advocate abortion. It is only if we love them that we will be able to help them discover the sacredness of the life of an unborn child. Francis has made few direct remarks about abortion, marriage and other contentious social issues since his election five months ago. Many Catholics have welcomed the shift in focus as rejuvenating for the church, while others worry that the pope isnt doing enough to combat abortion. Francis immediate predecessors as pope, Benedict XVI and John Paul II, made the abortion issue a priority in their pontificates.

On the other hand, choosing an agent who doesnt keep your best interests at heart can cost you a lot of time and money -- and headaches, too. Take the time to find a real estate agent who is perfect for you and your needs. How do you select a good agent? Here are a few tips to keep in mind.

Choose a Realtor.

Whether you are buying or selling a house, working with the right real estate agent can save you time, effort, and money.
mind of working with someone who has been trained well, who has solid knowledge of the real estate business, and who is bound by a strict code of ethics. effectively, both with you and with the other party for negotiations. If you are selling your home, your agent should develop an effective marketing plan, explain it to you, and respond promptly and thoroughly to any questions or concerns you have. Marketing your home will likely involve placing advertisements such as listing your home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for Realtors and conducting open houses to invite the public to view your home. Make sure you select a real estate agent you can get in touch with easily; after all, the best marketing plan in the world will need your cooperation.

Where to Start Looking

Real Estate Agent vs. Realtor

Whats the difference between a real estate agent and a Realtor? A real estate agent may or may not be a Realtor, but every Realtor is required to be a licensed real estate agent. To become a Realtor, a real estate agent has to join the National Association of Realtors (NAR); this allows him or her to attend industry meetings, get NAR newsletters, and access software and educational tools. Choosing a Realtor gives you the peace of

One of the best ways to find a good real estate agent or Realtor is through word of mouth. Ask around to see if any family, friends or coworkers recommend someone. Keep in mind that an agent who is good with buying homes may not be as good for selling home, so be sure to pick someone who is skilled at what you need. If you havent gathered any suggestions, try contacting local brokers. With any luck, they may be able to connect you with a real estate agent in their office. Or, search the NAR directory online. Whatever route you choose, make sure you find a legitimate agent.

More Resources

Comfort Level

When you conduct initial interviews with prospective real estate agents, pay close attention to how you feel while interacting with them. Are they genuinely concerned about your needs? That is, are they more interested in your wants and needs than in their own paycheck? Are they knowledgeable about the current housing market? Do they have the ability to negotiate a contract? Overall, how comfortable do you feel with each agent? Are you confident that the agent will work toward your benefit and help you secure a good deal? Do you trust the agent behave ethically and to fulfill his/her end of the commitment?

Communication and Planning

Friday, August 9, 2013 | www.cadillacnews.com

To better equip yourself in buying or selling a home, do some research for yourself. Real estate magazines may contain good information and can be a great way to start the search for your next home. There are also a lot of good resources on the Internet, such as www.Realtor.com, which is associated with NAR and which contains free, useful information. Youll find housing statistics, housing market forecasts, buying and selling tips, and more. And of course, nothing beats the power of networking -- finding people with similar or related interests, strengths, or skills who can help you in your endeavor. After youve selected a real estate agent and successfully bought or sold your home, make sure to keep his/her contact information on hand. You may want to refer other people to him or her, and you never know when you may need their services again.

Qualified jewelers can be found in even the smallest towns. Choosing the right one is an important decision when its time to buy an engagement ring, graduation gift or any kind of memento marking a special occasion. To get the best deal, weigh several options that best meet your needs and fit your budget. Knowing a little about how the jewelry business works is a valuable tool. The jeweler with the best skills should top your list. Look for one who offers attentive customer service and reasonable pricing. Many people make the mistake of basing their purchasing decision on price alone. Most of us arent wealthy, so other factors will guide our decision. The best jewelry professionals are skilled artisans who create beautiful and imaginative pieces with their own hands. They can also repair, clean and adjust customers items with ease. Jewelers and the watch repair personnel they often employ have undergone extensive training and should have a list of certifications. Additionally, jewelers attend periodic continuing-education classes to keep themselves current on issues and regulations in the industry. They often travel to jewelry shows geared to professionals that feature the newest trends and fashions. They also stay up to date on their knowledge and

understanding of the precious metals and gemstone markets, information they gladly share with customers. A jewelers technical expertise is not the only factor you should consider. You also want one who values his or her customers beyond the price of a ring or necklace. Customers who received exceptional service are likely to return for future purchases. Theyll also spread the word, recommending a good jeweler to friends and family. Jewelers who provide guarantees should also rank near the top of your list. A good guarantee is one of the fundamentals of establishing a long-term relationship with customers. The top professionals offer free repairs and unlimited service for the life of the jewelry. Many jewelry purchases represent considerable financial and sentimental investments for spouses, parents, children and others. A good jeweler recognizes the emotional bonds symbolized by a special piece of jewelry and treats his customer accordingly. Long-term relationships are built from the ground up, starting with the first purchase and continuing through the following years. Many times, a deal on jewelry seems too good to be true when youre buying from a discount store. It usually is. The gemstones are of lower quality and the metal components are of lower purity. If the item breaks, taking it back for replacement or repair might not be possible because the seller packed up his operation and moved on. These dealers focus solely on profit. A good jeweler has a wider view. Dealing with a jeweler you know and trust can make a big difference when it is time to make a significant investment in a special ring, bracelet, necklace or watch. He or she will make an effort to provide you with the best possible price without cutting the corners on quality. If you have been doing business with the same shop for years, you can expect a high level of service and know the item is covered by a guarantee. Anyone can sell jewelry. Consider all the corner jewelry stores you see at a mall. A dedicated professional jeweler doesnt just sell things made of precious metals and gemstones. He or she also provides a measure of affection and bolsters a customers selfesteem. While price is important when making a jewelry purchase, youll get better value for your money if you find a jeweler you can trust tomorrow and 20 years in the future. High-quality workmanship starts with the jewelry and ends with your satisfaction.

How-to
In the past, picking a dentist posed little difficulty. Routine cleanings, X-rays and the handling of more complex dental procedures were all the duties of the local dentist or the dental office that was designated by the patients insurance company. These days, patients tend to conduct independent research in order to find a dentist with whom they have complete confidence, and one they believe is best able to improve their dental health in a convenient, comfortable environment. The process of selecting a dentist should include consideration of several factors. It makes sense to seek a dentist whose office is near your home or workplace and operates at times convenient to your family. Getting recommendations from loved ones and colleagues can be a great way to identify the best dentists. Dental offices often have their own websites, which include facts about the practice itself and the educational and professional backgrounds of those working there. A few things to research on a dental offices website include the rates to be charged for various types of procedures, how appointments are handled and what kinds of specialized services are offered. You should also try to learn how much lead time is usually needed in order to make appointments for teeth cleanings and other routine procedures. It is important to find a dental office able to provide emergency services when unexpected issues arise. You can learn whether a given office offers such services by simply placing a call during business hours. Try to find a practice

Selecting a dental professional is key in maintaining your health and appearance.
staffed by knowledgeable, personable employees. Check that he or she has earned the necessary degree from a reputable school and are current on all licensing and continuing educational requirements. Ideally, he will be familiar with the latest dental technologies and trends. Always make certain that a prospective practice accepts your dental insurance. The best dentists are known for providing state-of-the-art dental care while striving to create and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for patients. Payment policies should be discussed in advance of any procedure, with estimates being given for all services. If dental insurance will be used, always check to be sure your chosen dentist accepts your coverage type. If not, you may need to find an alternate dentist. Discuss payment plan options ahead of time, especially for the most expensive procedures. When visiting a dentist for the first time, he or she should be professional and friendly. Every dentist should be willing to answer all questions pertaining to the individual patients needs and concerns. If phobias and pain are concerns, patients should make that fact known during an initial visit with a prospective dentist and determine what can be done to alleviate them. Many dentists are willing to go above and beyond to cater to patients with these specific issues. A basic oral health history should be taken

by the dentist, and possible future treatment and prevention options should be discussed. A good dentist will work to make his or her patients comfortable and should have a pleasant personality. First impressions mean a lot when choosing a dentist. If the dentist, hygienists or office staff create an atmosphere that is anything less than professional or competent, a new dentist should be sought. The best dentists offer friendly, happy dental experiences. They place a high priority on the preferences and concerns of their patients and offer exceptional, cutting-edge dental services. Teeth are extremely important to overall health and appearance and should be entrusted only to the very best dentists. Finding a good dentist is akin to finding a true friend within the dental industry who consistently makes it their goal to improve the beauty and health of their patients smiles.

Choose an Auto Body Shop.

It is a necessity to have a trustworthy mode of transportation.

Our cars, trucks, SUVs and minivans get us to work on time, back and forth to school and transport our families to and from their destinations. So it is a necessity to have a trustworthy mode of transportation. But at some point your are likely to find yourself in an accident. It is vital to choose an auto body shop that you can depend on. The shop you choose should be able to complete all manner of work, from a minor touch-up to a full-body repair. Even the smallest accident can throw your entire car, and schedule, into disarray. Youll need an auto body shop that you can consult when you have an accident to ensure your car is repaired quickly, affordably and correctly the first time. Talk to your friends and family that live near you and ask which auto body shops they prefer. Once you have a list of names, consult the Internet for more information and customer reviews. Internet testimonials, both positive and negative, should be taken with a grain of salt.
Friday, August 9, 2013 | www.cadillacnews.com

No business has a 100 percent satisfaction rate, no matter what they say. Someone will always be displeased. Also, keep in mind that people are more apt to leave a negative review than a positive one. If you cant get any good recommendations from friends or family, consult the Yellow Pages or perform an Internet search. After you have created a short list of auto body shops, make some phone calls. Describe to the person who answers the phone your exact problem and pay attention to the type of response you get. If the person seems both knowledgeable and helpful, keep that shop on your short list. If the person seems rushed or uninterested, it can mean that the shop is too busy right now or just simply has poor customer service. In either case, you can eliminate that shop from your list. Once you have chosen a shop, check for plainly displayed prices, certifications and guarantees. Be aware that you most often get what you pay for when it comes to auto body work.

Low prices may be tempting, but they may also mean sub-par work, used parts and paint that is not applied properly. Ask the shop manager or owner for references before you have them work on your car. They should be more than happy to provide names of customers with whom you can speak. Also be sure to look at their work. If you notice a car with paint drips, panels that dont line up or paints that dont match, look elsewhere. You will not be saving money in the long run if you have to have the work redone. Make sure that the shop is able to inspect your vehicle for repairs that are not visible. Choosing a shop that can complete the entire job will save you from having to take your car to several places for a complete repair. Picking a great auto body shop is the first step in getting your car back on the road. Once you have made your selection, you should be comfortable with every aspect of the shop: customer service, price and quality of work.

How-to
It is even more difficult because having to plan a funeral usually means that someone close to you has died. This is further complicated by the fact that most people do not have a lot of experience planning funerals and need to learn as they go. Although you are grieving, you also need to be a clear headed and objective as you can because funerals are costly, prices can vary dramatically and your emotion can sometimes cloud the decision-making process. The first order of business will be to determine if the deceased has made any pre-death funeral arrangements and whether they need to be altered due to changes in circumstances. Even if no arrangements were made, some inquiry should be made of family members to determine if the deceased made and specific wishes known. If possible, those wishes should be respected. If the deceased had any pre-arrangements with a local company, contact them. Be aware of the fact that some pre-arrangements may have been purchased years ago and no longer cover the cost of the funeral or represent the deceased current wishes. In this case, dont be afraid to shop around to see if you can find a more suitable arrangement. If you need to find a funeral home, ask friends, family, churches and physicians for a referral. Getting a good referral is a good way to weed out funeral homes that might not have impeccable reputations. Although you may not feel like shopping around you may have to do just that if you do not have a referral. You can do a preliminary search on the Web, choose three or four funeral homes that seem to fit your needs and then make a visit to each one. For many people, the cost of the funeral is a

major concern. Ask the funeral director about the basic fees. Ask about their available services and any payment arrangements that can be made. Dont make any decisions on the spot. Bring a notebook with you and ask lots of questions. The funeral home should patiently answer all of them. Ask for written estimates for everything. Ask about hours for viewing, in-house services versus off-site, cremation services, what is included, and the cost of extras and special requests. Be aware that the Federal Trade Commission requires that funeral homes provide customers with a pricing list. If you feel that the casket prices at your chosen funeral home are too pricey, you have the right to purchase a casket elsewhere without being subject to additional charges. Once you have decided on the funeral home and type of service, you will need to get all of the paperwork in order. You will need to fill out forms and apply for permits. You will need to obtain copies of death certificates and make the actual burial or cremation arrangements. If there are other relatives or friends involved, sit down together and compare notes. Choose the home that you feel provides what you need. Remember, to stay within your budget and do not allow yourself to be pressured into extras you do not need or cant afford. Now that youve chosen a funeral home, determine who you, at the home, will be working with and arrange for regular communication with that person. Let the funeral home know if any other members of the deceaseds family are authorized to make decisions. Be very specific about the arrangements and do not be afraid to speak up if something is not being done according to your intentions.

This may seem a bit overwhelming, but remember, if you have done your research, you have chosen the best funeral home for the needs of the deceaseds family and friends. A good funeral home has the expertise to guide you through this difficult process and to ensure the funeral runs smoothly for everyone. Remember if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask the funeral home for their advice.

How-to
The key is to find a physician willing to enter into a cooperative relationship intended to closely monitor your health and offer innovative solutions to issues as they arise. Several critical elements should be taken into consideration when you begin searching for a new physician.

Select a Primary Care Physician.

Among the most crucial steps in ensuring you lead the healthiest lifestyle possible is to find an appropriate, qualified doctor.
network will have existing arrangements with the carrier, and using doctors outside the group can subject you to out-of-pocket expenses for amounts not covered by your policy. There are, however, some insurance carriers that do not impose restrictions on physician choice. If you have this type of coverage, you need only look to the local newspaper or online advertisements in order to identify a number of experienced prospects. sure to check with the state medical board to make sure the physician you have selected has a current license to practice. The licensing body will also be able to tell you whether the physician you have chosen is facing any pending disciplinary actions or complaints. Not every physician accepts new patients. Once you have narrowed your list of likely candidates, contact their offices to make sure that they are growing their practice by adding patients, and that they accept the type of insurance you carry. Under ideal circumstances, the first visit you make to your new doctor will involve a routine physical examination during which your new doctor will take a detailed patient history. But sometimes insurance carriers decline payment for routine physical exams.

INSURANCE

Your choice of doctors will be restricted by your health insurance carrier. It is not uncommon for insurers to maintain contracts with particular groups or professional practices, and you will not be able to venture outside the insurers provider network without paying extra. The role of a primary care doctor is to see to your medical needs in a global sense, as well as to provide appropriate referrals whenever you require the expertise of a specialist. The physicians in an insurers primary care

MEETING YOUR NEEDS

Usually, you should select a general practitioner to serve as a primary care doctor. This could be a member of a family practice or an internal medicine doctor. There are some circumstances, however, when it makes sense to select a doctor practicing within a particular specialty. For instance, a woman may feel most comfortable with a primary care physician who is an obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN). Parents may prefer to have their children cared for by a pediatrician. Senior citizens may even decide to have a geriatric specialist serve as their primary care doctor.

CONVENIENCE

ASK FOR REFERRALS

Perhaps the best way to find a new doctor is through referrals from friends, family and other trusted sources. Those who have had positive experiences with their health care providers are generally eager to share their experiences. Another useful source of physician referrals may be the local chapter of the American Medical Association or other professional physicians organizations in your area. Before you make your final decision, be

You will want to make sure his or her office is easily accessible from either your home or your workplace. You should ensure that the physician you have chosen has admitting privileges at a hospital where you would feel comfortable in the event you need more substantial treatment. You should ask whether your chosen physician is able to perform diagnostic tests and procedures in his or her own office, or if you will instead have to visit a separate facility when you need such services. Finally, verify how long it typically takes to book an appointment. Not every one of your medical needs will require a same-day office visit, but when an emergency arises, you will want to know your new doctor has the ability to meet your needs.

How-to
At some point in the future, many people will find that living independently at home is no longer an option. When the time comes to look for an assisted living facility for yourself or a loved one, there are many things to take into consideration before making a final decision. Cost is often first on the list of factors when people are looking at facilities. Having a clear understanding of the costs involved in living in a facility is beneficial, but its not necessarily the most important consideration. While one facility may be all-inclusive, another may not be. Facilities may also charge separate fees for special services. A top consideration should also be the quality of care and record of satisfaction from current and former residents and their family members. While making a short list of facilities to visit, be sure to do an online check of the assisted living homes in your area. Many sites will have reviews from family members and residents. Personally visit any facilities that you are considering. Pay close attention to the condition of the buildings, look at the calendar of events and ask about any activities available for residents. Try to visit when you are most likely to run into residents and their family members. Early evening and weekend days are best. Talk to some of these people and get honest opinions regarding staff, amenities and accommodations. In the first stages of your planning, you may find that your facility need meet only minimal requirements. You or your loved one may need a secure environment or someone on hand in case of a fall or illness. As time goes on, however, these needs may change.

Choose an Assisted Living Facility.

When the time comes to look for an assisted living facility for yourself or a loved one, there are many things to take into consideration before making a final decision.

Be sure that the facility you are considering can change with your needs. If mobility issues become a concern, the size and layout of the center may become important. Eventually, you may find that you need someone to administer medication, manage your various appointments, provide transportation and provide more personal levels of care. There are assisted living facilities that provide increasing levels of care as the requirements of their residents change. Other facilities meet only a specified level of care and will require that you leave the facility should your needs increase. Whether it is you or a family member that will become part of the assisted living community, it is important that your experience be a pleasant one. The move will be less stressful for all

involved if the facility most closely resembles the lifestyle to which you are accustomed. Make a list of the things in your life that are important to you. Whether its gardening or crafting, everyone has a hobby. Look for a facility that will let you continue on with these hobbies once youve moved in. If you enjoy exercise and are physically able to do so, look for a center that has a gym, exercise room or secure place to walk. If you are a social butterfly, look for a facility that allows plenty of opportunity for socializing with others. Moving into an assisted living facility doesnt have to be stressful or unpleasant. With the proper research, you can ensure that you or your loved one will be well cared for while still being able to enjoy life.

Not only are all these areas of the body complex, connected and interrelated, but they can also make a big impact on how you live controlling everything from your sense of smell and hearing, to your ability to breathe clearly and feel balanced when walking. Thats why its important to pick an ear, nose and throat specialist who can do an outstanding job with the diagnosis and treatment of any ailments that are related to these specific areas of your body. If you require surgery, its critical that you do research and due diligence to ensure that you use the right doctor for your situation. You should find a specialist that you are comfortable with as well as being able to do the job right. Make sure the doctor you choose has plenty of years experience with diagnosing and remedying issues related to the ear, nose, and throat. It is also important that whatever doctor you choose uses the latest in technological advances to get the job done right the first time. If the new equipment requires special training or accreditation, make sure that the specialist has received the proper training in the procedures. Youll want a doctor who offers a wide range of services, too. For example, some doctors also offer plastic surgery services that can make you look your best. With treatments like Botox, Juvederm, Restylane and other dermal fillers, you can look younger and eliminate unsightly blemishes. Other services to consider include eye lifts and

As you can see, a good, wide-ranging practice can do a lot more than fix your sinuses.

This is the best way to ensure that you are getting the highquality healthcare that you need in order to live a healthier, happier life.

The nice aspect of speaking directly with people who you know and trust is that there is an understanding that the information you are receiving is not biased. Whether it be dealing with a sinus problem or a loss of hearing, finding the right specialist is as easy as giving your best friend a call to see who they have used in the past for their ailments. And, because you will usually see a general practitioner before being referred to a specialist, ask your doctor who they recommend and why. See what your doctor thinks makes for a good specialist, because their inside knowledge of the medical industry could provide some valuable insight. As surgery can impact the ears and the nose, you want to make sure that the proper precautions are taken to ensure youre getting the very best care. Take your time when looking for an ear, nose, and throat specialist, and youll be able to find the relief that you need and a doctor you can trust.

Choose an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist.

Hospice provides care to terminally ill patients in their home, hospital or nursing home, whichever is the most appropriate setting. With an emphasis on comfort and quality of life, a team of physicians, nurses, therapists, bereavement counselors, pharmacists, personal care assistants, volunteers, social services and clergy provided clinical, spiritual and emotional care to patients and their families experiencing a life-limiting illness. Medications and medical equipment costs may be covered, based on eligibility. With all the choices out there today, you may wonder how to choose a hospice. Following are points to consider when choosing a hospice for you or your loved one:

Choose Hospice.
With an emphasis on comfort & quality of life.
hospice agencys philosophy on pain management. Hospice affirms life and neither hastens nor postpones death. An effective hospice will provide pain management and care during the end-stage of life, with the goal of helping patients remain pain-free and as active as possible for as long as possible. Consider these and other questions you may have when choosing a hospice organization. Hospice is a very special kind of care that can offer you and your family support at a time when you need it the most. Its important that you choose an agency that you feel comfortable with and that can offer the services you need.

Quality of life. Hospice caregivers recognize dying as part of the normal process of living and believes the quality of life is as important as the length of life. Services. Ask about the types of services available to you and your family. Hospice services typically include: Medical direction of the patients care, provided by the patients personal physician and/or a physician affiliated with a hospice program. Regular nursing visits in the home to monitor the patients condition, provide appropriate care and maintain comfort. Home health aide services for the patients personal needs. Chaplain services for the patient and/or loved ones if desired. Social work and counseling services. Bereavement counseling to help patients and their loved ones with grief and loss. Ask how long it is offered and what type of support is available. Medical equipment (hospital beds, oxygen tanks, etc.) Medications for symptom control and pain relief. Volunteer support to assist loved ones. Physical, speech and occupational therapy. Dietary counseling.

Experience. Ask how long has the

hospice organization been in the community and how many patients they serve.

Availability. Are palliative (comfort) care and supportive services available 24 hours a day, seven days a week? Continuity of Care. Is the hospice agency affiliated with a hospital to provide continuity of care should you need to be hospitalized? Does it have relationships with long-term care facilities? A good hospice will assist with longterm care placement when needed and provide hospice services while you are a resident. Team of Care Providers. A good hospice agency will have a strong team of experienced staff as well as experienced volunteers who will all work together to provide you and your family with the best possible care. Pain Management. Ask about the

How-to
In the modern world, a strong digital presence is no longer a luxury for a business; its a necessity. With smartphones, tablets and mini laptops, most shoppers are online while on the go and using technology to make purchasing decisions more than ever before. So what does a small business have to do to stay competitive in the digital marketplace? Below are a few crucial elements and a few pitfalls to avoid in order to create a successful digital presence.

Build a Effective Web Presence.

both web and mobile sites are controlled by a single content management system.

A few things every business should do to have an effective digital presence.

Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and all the other social media sites that seem to pop up everyday have taken a strong foothold in the world of digital marketing. With more than 1 billion people, Facebook leads the way and has quickly become a staple in the digital marketing mix. However, having a social media presence can be time consuming and costly if not done properly. On the surface, Facebook is very easy to use and provides a lot of analytics to determine impact. However, the simplicity of use can lull you into a false sense of success because Facebook is actually rather difficult to use correctlythat is, if you dont understand how Facebook actually works. To learn more about how to make Facebook ( or other social media sites) work for your business, do some research online or consult with a social media marketing expert who can train you on the basics. There are companies that will take on the task of managing your page for you, but this can be expensive and they simply dont know your business the way you do. If possible, find a local company that knows your market and understands your business.

Get Social

WARNING: If you decide to build your own site, or even if you have someone build it for you, be sure that you own the rights to the content on your site. Downloading something from the Internet and using it on your site is quite often a copyright violation and could cost you thousands of dollars.

Have a website

This should come as no surprise. With the internet facing 30 years of ubiquitous use, a website has become the gold standard of digital marketing, and those without one are often passed over by potential customers simply because they didnt show up on a Google search. There are many affordable options when choosing a company to develop your new website and several build-it-yourself options online. Whichever route you choose, be sure that the website has a content management system so you can make necessary changes without having to call the internet guy every time you need to make a minor change. Also, make sure the site reflects your branding. Having a website that looks nothing like your business or does not reflect the needs of your customers can work against you. To be safe, hire a digital marketing consultant to help you determine the appropriate theme, colors and design elements. There will be a cost associated with such a service, but its well worth it when you see business being driven by your web presence. With smartphones and tables quickly becoming the primary web-browsing tool, make sure your site is mobile friendly. Some site templates display well on mobile devices, but many do not. There are companies out there who integrate mobile sites with their web development packages, so

WARNING: Be careful of social media marketers who promise a large number of likes almost overnight. These are often purchased likes or come from some form of arrangement where invitations are sent out to a large email list. You may get a lot of likes, but the likelihood of someone from another country coming into your gift WARNING: If someone says they can get you shop in northern Michigan and making a purchase to the top of the list on search results, they are is pretty low and not a good measure of success. misleading you. Googles algorithm is a closely guarded secret and to guarantee placement is just not possible.

If you just stopped reading to Google SEO, you probably need a little help here. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and is perhaps one of the most important elements of your digital presence. Building a website with out SEO is like building a storefront on a hill back in the woods with no sign by the roadyour customers will never know youre there, even if theyre looking for you. SEO works by using keywords to identify your site. How it works can be complicated and changes on a daily basis (literally three times per day on average), so its best to leave SEO up to the experts who get paid to keep up with latest trends. However, not all SEO operatives are created equal and, due to the complicated nature of the process, its easy to be fooled by industry jargon and aggressive sales techniques. Make sure you ask them to explain in laymens terms what they will actually be doing for you, if they understand it themselves, they should be able to explain it to you.

Have good SEO

How-to
Its important to use the right tool for the job. And when buying a vehicle, you want to get the most reliable, high-quality one you can find to meet your needs. Buying a lawn tractor combines both: It is a tool designed to do a specific job, and it is a small moving vehicle that needs to last which is why you have to take time and do your homework before settling on the right riding mower.

Choose a Lawn Tractor.

Take time and do your homework before settling on the right riding mower.
SPEED, MANEUVERABILITY
Theyre especially useful for mowing close to homes, around playground equipment, or any place where the wide turning radius of a traditional riding mower can be a problem.

THE RIGHT FIT

Lawn tractors come in a variety of capabilities and prices, ranging from around $1,000 for a very basic riding mower to $8,000 or more for a fullyfeatured, commercial-grade model. In between, youll find every combination of features and durability. Start by knowing how youll be using the lawn tractor. Youll want to factor in the size of your lawn, of course bigger lawns will require a wider mowing deck but you should also consider what, in addition to mowing, youll want to do with the lawn tractor. Todays high-end lawn tractors are more like scaled-down pieces of farm equipment than traditional riding mowers. They can be fitted with all kinds of accessories, from simple baggers and trailers to powerful tillers and snowblowers. Remember, when you buy a lawn tractor, youre not only buying the mower. Youre also buying an entire platform that can be used to do all kinds of jobs, so be aware of what accessories each brand offers, even if you dont plan to purchase them yet. Youll appreciate the choices later on.

Since most people dont like spending all day mowing, its important to find a lawn tractor that can get the job done in the least amount of time. Larger mowing decks can cover more ground in each pass, which is a good start, but there are other features to consider, too. What kind of transmission does the lawn tractor use? How fast can it move in the top gear? How easy is it to change gears and turn in different directions? For people who want the ultimate in maneuverability, the zero-turn mower is becoming a popular option. Used for years by commercial lawn crews, and recently becoming available at affordable prices for ordinary homeowners, the zero-turn mower can turn on a dime to precisely and quickly cut lawns of all sizes.

DURABILITY

Finally, one of the most important considerations is how long you can expect the lawn tractor to last. The reputation of a brand should be something you weigh heavily when making your decision. Read online reviews and gather as much information as you can from friends and family members who prefer a particular line of lawn products. While there are lots of low-end, affordable riding mowers out there, very few of them have a good long-term reputation for durability. Its usually a better idea, and more economical in the long run, to pick a durable, well-built model from a reputable brand than to buy the cheapest mower on the market. Look closely at the construction of your lawn tractor to see if it will meet your needs. While you may not need the extreme engineering and high price of a commercial-grade model, you should buy the most well-built model you can afford and follow the maintenance schedule closely to get the most life out of it. Finding a good dealer is a big part of this process. If you can find a knowledgeable local retailer with a long-term reputation and lots of happy customers, youll be well on your way to picking a product that can provide years of trouble-free lawn care.

The Toughest Window on the Block

Top 10 Reasons Why Polar Seal Windows Are Better Than The Competition

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Wheres the beef? How bout more vinyl in your vinyl window? More walls and thicker walls means less chance for cold winter winds to seep in through your windows. More chambers help insulate; even as well as foam filled frames insulate its proven in test results! SuperSpacer, the only TRUE WARM-EDGE Silicone foam air spacer separates inner and outer pane of glass so cold cant transfer in quickly like metal spacers. Conducts 100 times less temperature than other warm edge steel spacers, reducing the chance of condensation, sweat or mold on your brand new windows. The #1 rated Low E glass in Canada is your best bet to save heating dollars. As winter gas bills soar, using the right kind of Low E becomes even more important. Our HardCoat Low E has the same net heat loss as an R-19 wall because it allows more FREE solar energy in than any other Low E or Heat Mirror available. Triple Ultrasonically welded weather-stripping. 50-100% more weather-stripping than others seals out wintery drafts better. Welded fibers remain longer than woven and pile directors keep those fibers standing up straight. Black weather-stripping lasts longer and looks better years down the road by hiding dirt. Aluminum screen wire lasts longer. Sure, its tougher to get aluminum wire screens installed in the home without denting them (thats why we package them separately), but once theyre installed, they wont sag, fade and deteriorate like fiberglass screen wire.

6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Interlocking sashes eliminate leaks. We take the time and workmanship required to make a window with sashes that interlock. Polar Seal has engineered a window that keeps out the winter winds better than windows simply relying on butting the sashes together and hoping the weather-strip will stop the air. Deep pocket sills and jambs cut wind down. 90 degree angles make it tougher for air to penetrate. However, most forget this feature at the sill. By sinking the sashes into deep pocketing jambs and sills, airs chances of getting in to your home are slim to none. 78 different color and wood combinations. Choose from 3 main colors (white, tan or earthtone), add 4 real wood-look interior options (Light Oak, Dark Oak, Cherry or Paintable/ Stainable Simulated Oak), and 7 exterior color options (white, tan, earthtone, green, clay, terratint, bronze and gray!) Double strength glass looks and performs better. Thicker glass resists breakage better and lays flatter than single strength, reducing awkward concave reflections. Go ahead, knock on our glass and compare it to the others.

Unmatched Service: Lifetime Limited Warranty. No other vinyl window manufacturer that we know of stipulates in their warranty that they, the factory, will make house calls to service their products. Our warranty is worth much more than the paper its printed on; it is a contract between Polar Seal and the homeowner.

They can be practical elements in your home and enhance architectural features, like a living room bay window. Windows and patio doors protect you from Mother Nature, so care must be taken in selection. Today, you have a myriad of choices.

When considering options, you may be seeking a natural look, the ability to match your color scheme or maintenance-free features. 20 years ago, vinyl windows were unheard of in Now residential construction in Michigan. they comprise over 50 percent of all sales and are gaining ground. Why are vinyl products so popular? Vinyl is affordable and can be custom sized to your openings affordably. They require little maintenance and vinyl does not rot, rust, warp or corrode. The multi-chambered extruded frames provide optimal thermal efficiency during harsh winter months. Many manufacturers offer several interior and exterior color combinations, some even offer the traditional wood look on the inside of your home, if you have your heart set on the warm tones and beauty that only wood can radiate.

products that optimize the energy efficiency of our windows. Low-emissivity or Low-E coatings on the glass, gas fillings in the sealed cavity between the two panes of glass and polyester films suspended between the panes are readily available. Low-E coatings are popular in northern climates where heat loss during winter is a major concern.

Whether building or remodeling, windows and patio doors are an integral design factor in your project and a reflection of your tastes.

Choose Windows and Patio Doors

Non-conductive spacers between the panes of glass decrease radiant cold transference across the spacer channel, reducing condensation, mold growth and reducing outside noise volume. As energy becomes more costly, technology will help increase energy conservation without hampering construction design flexibility. Window manufacturers have their products independently certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) against a set of standards.

support system that backs up the products that you purchase is just as important. Also, most windows are manufactured per customer order so they are not warehoused in a factory waiting to be sold. This means that you need to plan ahead and start working with a dealer of your choice so you have time to make knowledgeable decisions about the windows needed for your project. The installation of a window or patio door is just as important as the product itself. Even the best window can be installed improperly, causing performance and operational issues. Be sure to find an installer who is reputable and has references readily available. Condensation problems arise because air can only hold a limited amount of water vapor and cold air holds less than warm air. The moisture on the glass is an indication of the level of humidity in the home, not the quality of the window, although non-conductive spacers, Low-E glass and gas fillings may help reduce condensation.

How-to
If you like working closely with others and helping people look their best, cosmetology might be a fun way to make a living. Its also a serious business, though, with licensing requirements, in-depth training and a certain level of business and customer service acumen needed to be successful over time. Here are some things to look for when exploring a career in cosmetology.

Choose a Career in Cosmetology.

Cosmetology can be an enjoyable and rewarding career for the right type of person.
Its much better to find a school that goes beyond that, teaching you how to succeed in the business world, too providing the best services, communicating clearly with customers and working well with co-workers. The best schools will have a training environment that closely mirrors what you will expect to find in the real world, including customers that ask for the most popular hair styles you can expect to see in your first job. You should ask about career placement services and financial aid offered. Cosmetology school can sometimes be as intense and expensive as a university, but it can also represent a great investment if it results in a solid, rewarding career down the road.

A LONG-TERM PLAN

STATE REQUIREMENTS

The first thing you need to know is what kind of legal requirements you have to meet before you can work as a cosmetologist in your state. Every state has different rules and training requirements with some being tougher and more demanding than others so you should start with a clear understanding of what it takes to get the job. You will probably have to go through some mandatory training in a cosmetology school, then take an exam to get your license. Youll have to prove you can do a good job for your customers and meet all the states requirements.

A GOOD SCHOOL

The next thing to look for is a strong training program that can not only help you meet the government requirements, but also learn the skills to be exceptionally good at your craft. Every cosmetology school is different, and the best ones will have a reputation for making their students fully ready for the job market. In other words, teaching you to meet the state requirements and get your cosmetology license is a bare minimum.

Like most careers, cosmetologists typically start in entry-level jobs and work their way up to more responsibility and better paying positions over time. While you might start out purely as an employee, the most financially successful people in the cosmetology field typically are some form of entrepreneurs perhaps renting a seat in a popular salon or even opening their own independent business. You need to make plans not only for getting your first job, but also for where you want to be 10, 15 or 20 years into your career. If you plan on opening your own salon, for example, youre going to have to learn a lot about marketing and sales to keep new customers coming in the door. Youll have to learn some accounting, too, so you can understand how to record your income and expenses accurately. You dont have to learn all these things up front, but you should have a good idea of the steps youll need to take in your career ladder and education to achieve your biggest goals. And it all starts with finding a career you love in the first place. If cosmetology seems like a good fit for your future, talk with a local cosmetology school to see what it would take to get started on your new career.

How-to
Knowing what to look for and what to ask will help you choose a facility that provides quality care and best meets your needs. Sometimes people arent left with the option of choosing a hospital, especially in the case of an emergency. Consider asking the following questions to help you make a well-informed decision about your health care needs.

Choose the Right Hospital.

Selecting quality health care services for you, a relative or friend requires special thought and attention.
the hospital meet your specific medical needs? Do you have a medical condition requiring specialized attention? Your medical history and current medical condition may affect the type of hospital you choose. Do you know the hospitals success record in carrying out the specific medical procedure you need? What is the training of the doctor who will perform the procedure? Ask how often the particular procedure is done. Does the hospital explain the patients rights and responsibilities? Ask to see a copy of the hospitals patient rights and responsibilities information. Do you know who is responsible for maintaining your personal care plan? How are the caregivers kept informed about your specific care needs? Can you or your family be kept up-to-date on your medical care? Does the hospital have social workers? Ask what services the social workers provide. Social workers usually help patients and their families find emotional, social, clinical, physical and financial support services. Will I see my doctor during my stay at the hospital? Some hospitals participate in a Hospitalist Program. A Hospitalist is an Internal Medicine physician who specializes in caring for hospitalized adult patients. Your primary care physician, and in some cases an Emergency Room physician, may refer you to a Hospitalist when you are admitted to the hospital. In other cases, you may be admitted by a specialist who will treat a specific condition, while a Hospitalist will be consulted for your general care. A Hospitalist may also evaluate you prior to surgery, so that your stay is as safe and efficient as possible.

Questions about discharge planning

Will a discharge plan be developed for you before you leave the hospital? Ask what services are available and what your primary care doctors involvement will be. Does the hospital provide you with the necessary training to continue your care in your home after you have been discharged? Ask what training is provided in changing bandages, taking medications or using medical equipment or devices. Does the hospital provide you with easy-to-understand written instructions?

General Questions
Is the hospital accepted by your insurance, HMO or PPO plan? Is the hospital conveniently located? Can you and your family get there easily for scheduled as well as emergency medical care? Is the hospital accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting body, such as the Joint Commission? Joint Commission accreditation means the organization voluntarily sought accreditation and met national health and safety standards. The Joint Commission provides on-site surveys to review the hospitals medical and nursing care, physical condition, life safety program, special care units, pharmaceutical services, infection control procedures and a number of other areas affecting patient care.

Does the hospital have a written description of its services and fees? What resources does the hospital provide to help you find financial assistance if you need it? Is the hospital clean? Visit the hospital and look around. Ask to see the waiting rooms and patient rooms.

What you should know:

Look for an agent who is a member of the local board or association of Realtors. An agent should explain and disclose their role and who they represent. The agent should advise you on how to prepare your home for the market. Be sure the professional shows enthusiasm, listens well, instills confidence, and has a personality that is complimentary to your own.

How-to
Do you want to host a successful party that is enjoyed by each and every one of your guests? When planning any special event or festive occasion, it is essential that you find the very best caterer available in your area. Experienced caterers can be of tremendous assistance as you plan a large event or festive celebration. Those who typically do not use caterers can greatly benefit from the help of a knowledgeable, cooperative professional. Such caterers are great resources regarding what types of food would work well at a given event and the quantities that would be needed. Along with creating impressive, tasty dishes, the caterer must exhibit a high sense of professionalism and commitment to their work. Investing the time required to choose an outstanding caterer can ease the duties of the host, saving you valuable time you can spend enjoying your party. Things to consider in selecting a high quality caterer:

department. A positive record demonstrates their commitment to clean kitchen and food handling practices. This serves as a great indicator of a caterers overall quality.

Scheduling

It is important to communicate about scheduling. It can be risky to hire caterers who have packed schedules. Rather, use companies able to spend a great deal of time and effort on your party. If it seems that the caterer may have difficulty dedicating enough time to your event, you should probably hire someone else.

Sample

Be sure to sample the food before the caterer is hired. It is common for caterers to bring selections from their menu to an initial interview. Should this not be the case, it is wise to request samples prior to paying any deposits or advancing funds. There are companies that specialize in catering elaborately themed parties, and such firms can help you select the specific types of foods that would perfectly complement your celebration. There are also caterers with expertise in helping you craft a menu that is customized to your guest list. Finding a caterer that is willing to help you with the entire planning process of your meal from hors douevres to dessert is something you will likely find extremely worthwhile. Your caterer will expertly guide you through the party-planning process. Since you have chosen your caterer with care, your event is certain to be a rousing success.

Interview

Contact multiple catering companies prior to making a selection so that you find the one best suited to your needs. Check the phone book or online for local caterers; also ask for recommendations from friends and family. Schedule a meeting and be prepared with your questions.

It is always wise to check into a companys reputation before making any substantial financial commitments to them. Ask the caterers representatives for client references that you can call in order to discuss the companys work.

How-to
Most of the hearing aids in the United States are dispensed and fitted by Audiologists using the most advanced, computerized procedures and state-ofthe-art equipment to individualize their fittings. Hearing aid options are fully discussed with patients based on the results of a complete hearing aid evaluation that includes selection and verification of the devices most appropriate for the patient. Followup, care and hearing aid accessories are readily available from Audiologists dispensing hearing aids. Audiologists provide extensive hearing aid services to patients with hearing loss. In addition, Audiologists are experts with other types of assistive listening devices (ALDs) including individual and group listening systems, telecommunication devices, and personal alerting equipment. Finally, Audiologists provide education and training, which are crucial steps in ensuring that patients receive optimum benefit from amplification and communication devices. Audiologists have special training and may be found in medical centers, private practice and have passed a demanding competency examination A minimum of a masters degree program is required to practice as a certified audiologist and most masters programs are transferring to doctoral programs. These professionals belong to several national organizations guided by a Code of Ethics requiring that Audiologists services must be provided in an ethical manner. The hearing-aid selection process begins with a comprehensive hearing test. If you are a candidate for hearing aids your Audiologist will discuss this with you at the conclusion of the hearing test. The Audiologist may suggest seeing a physician to obtain medical clearance for purchasing hearing aids, due to possible medical/surgical intervention. If you agree to the recommendation of purchasing hearing aids, the Audiologist will typically schedule a HearingAid evaluation. At this visit, the Audiologist will discuss the available styles and technologies that are most appropriate for you. Also at this visit the Audiologist will take impressions of your ear canal, explain the policies and procedures regarding how the instruments are dispensed, and inform you of the cost of the hearing aids. Usually, it requires a couple of weeks for the hearing aids to arrive. At the Hearing-Aid Fitting, you will wear the hearing aids for the first time to be sure they are comfortable and that whistling is not present. It is also during this visit that

your Audiologist will take additional measures to verify that the hearing aids are providing optimum amplification. To accomplish this, many Audiologists use real-ear measures to verify the performance of hearing aids. This procedure allows the Audiologist to assure you that the hearing aids are optimized for your hearing loss. Finally, your Audiologist will counsel you extensively on the use and care of the hearing aids and review the warranty. You should ask your Audiologist about the benefits from aural (re) habilitation services such as speechreading, auditory training, assistive listening devices, communication strategies and counseling to supplement benefit received from amplification. Finally, you will be scheduled to return to your Audiologist to determine if you need to have the hearing aids adjusted. volume. Some of these hearing aids also include more than one microphone for enhanced understanding of speech noise. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) with Programability: This is the most current level of technology available. Hearing aids with DSP are capable of providing millions of calculations per second on the signal(s) received at the microphone before they are amplified and sent to the listener. Some of these hearing aids allow the Audiologist to divide the frequency response into numerous bands for significant flexibility in shaping the response of the hearing aids to more closely match the individual needs of the patient. Some of these hearing aids include more than one microphone to further enhance the understanding of speech in noise. One of the advantages of these hearing aids is the capability to reduce or eliminate feedback or whistling.

Audiologists provide extensive hearing aid services to patients with hearing loss.

How To Purchase Hearing-Aids

Hearing-Aid Selection & Fitting

Hearing-Aid Signal Processing Hearing aids can be divided into three major technologies. At the time of the hearing aid evaluation, your Audiologist will guide you through the numerous options available to determine which of the following general technologies would be most appropriate for you. Conventional with analog signal processing: These are the most basic hearing aids. They typically provide linear signal processing where soft, average and loud sounds are amplified equally. With these hearing aids, patients often turn up the volume control for loud sounds. These devices usually require the Audiologist to send the hearing aids to the manufacturer whenever changes are necessary. These instruments are a good choice for patients where finances are a major consideration. Programmable with analog signal processing: These are analog instruments with digital programming that allow the Audiologist to change the parameters of the hearing aids via a computer. This might be necessary to compensate for changes in hearing or sound quality. Most of these hearing aids provide nonlinear signal processing, where they amplify softer sounds more and loud sounds less. Because this signal processing automatically adjusts volume, many of these hearing aids have several memories stored in the hearing aids that are available for improved understanding in different listening situations. A remote control may be necessary to access these memories or change the

5 Points for Hearing...

1. Admit that you have a permanent hearing problem. Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. Thomas Jefferson 2. Be aware that it may take a while for the brain to adjust to a hearing aid, so you cant always determine right away if you will like it. 3. Bring appropriate expectations: Hearing aids may help you cope more effectively in communication, but they will not restore normal hearing. 4. Be aware that hearing aids do not work well in all situations. Educate yourself about hearing. 5 Practice, Time and PatienceYour Keys to Success!

How-to

Choose a Used Car Dealer.

When you have worked hard and saved up everything that you have, finding the best used car dealer is important.

You do not want to end up with a lemon that you cannot return. You also do not want to pay more than you should. Of course, the dealer will need to make a profit - which is perfectly reasonable but you still should have an idea of the price you should pay for the vehicle you want the most. When it comes to spending If you come across more than one positive family review of a specific money, there is always an intelligent process you must go through to avoid dealership, take that as a sign to check that dealer out. Your family will making mistakes that you can take back. Here are some tips on how to never steer you to give your money to a bad dealer. choose a used car dealer.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

4. Search Locally and Online

One of the worst mistakes that you can make is attempting to shop for a car without knowing what you want. The very first step in the process is deciding what kind of car you want. If you do not know the exact make and model of the vehicle you desire, you should at least narrow it down to the automobile type. Decide whether you would like a sports car, an SUV, a pickup truck or a van. That way you will not waste your time looking around at shops that do not have what you need.

Next, you want to gather a list of local dealerships. You can find this information in your telephone book and online. Write down the addresses of the top used car dealerships. Call them up and make an appointment to come in a look at their inventory. You can even ask them what kind of financing they have and if they offer extended warranties on their vehicles and such. Try to make appointments with all the establishments on the list. You are going to research many dealerships before you choose. Picking a place to buy a car from should not be decided on quickly and in haste.

2. Search the blue book

Stop by each dealership that you have on your list. Look around for cars that you want. Have in depth conversations with the sales clerk to find out if he is someone you are comfortable doing business with. Ask about the financing options, the warranty programs, the maintenance, past owner reports, and anything else you can think of that makes you feel more secure. Do not make a purchase on the first visit. You have more shops to look at. Grab a business card and move on to the next location. After you have stopped by all locations on your list, you can research 3. Talk to Friends and Family customer reviews of the ones you thought were the best establishment.

The next thing you want to do before you choose a dealership is get an idea of the amount you want to spend with the dealership. You can search the Kelly Blue Book (http://kbb.com) for the make and model of the car you desire. That way you have a general idea of the price range you want to stay in. It will keep you in perspective so you know roughly what to pay for a particular car. In addition, search newspapers and online sites to see the asking prices for cars that youre interested in buying.

How-to
Few people are born naturally with perfect teeth, though. Thats why its important to find a good orthodontist who can provide customized, caring service to create a brilliant smile that lasts a lifetime. Here are some things to consider when looking for an orthodontic specialist:

Choose an Orthodontist.
Nothing expresses confidence, health and happiness like a good smile.
be able to give you the clear, unbiased views that you cant find anywhere else.

TECHNOLOGY

SERVICE

Braces require regular visits to the orthodontist for adjustment, so the service you receive should be one of your top priorities. The orthodontic office ought to be a place that makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. Take note of how the staff treats you on your first introductory visit which will hopefully be offered for free and see how the overall experience makes you feel. The best orthodontists will schedule their appointments so that patients can be seen promptly. People today live busy lives, and finding an orthodontist that respects your time is a big plus. Also make sure the orthodontist personally makes you feel at ease. They should do the most important work on your braces themselves, without farming it out to lower-level staff members, and take the time to thoroughly answer any questions or concerns you have. Good orthodontists will make you feel like a valued customer and friend. It is also important that you get along well with the dental assistants. The assistants will play a role in your treatment, so notice if they seem to take their work seriously and mesh with your personality. You can learn a lot about orthodontists from word-of-mouth. Talk to your neighbors, friends, coworkers and associates to find out their opinions about orthodontists. These people will

On your first visit, make sure you ask about what technology the orthodontist will use to straighten your teeth. A wide variety of orthodontic systems are used to help straighten teeth, and theyre all surprisingly different in their appearance and function. Some require more adjustments than others, and some take longer to do the job. On your first visit, ask lots of questions about the systems offered. Each one has its own strengths and weaknesses, and your orthodontist should be able to clearly explain why they prefer one system over another. Orthodontic technology is always improving, too, so make sure your orthodontist is experienced and trained in the latest systems for straightening teeth. One popular option for braces today is the Damon System, which doesnt use elastic or metal ties. Since there are no rubber bands in your mouth, the Damon System is a discreet, comfortable, easy-to-clean choice that doesnt attract plaque like older-style braces that use elastic ties.

CLEAR BRACES

For people who are worried about their mouths appearance during treatment, clear braces are another great choice. While invisible aligners are heavily promoted, theyre not always the right choice for patients. Depending on the severity of tooth crowding and the patients specific needs, a better option might be clear braces, which are technologically very different from the clear aligners.

If youre thinking about looking for clear braces to make your treatment less noticeable, ask your orthodontist about which systems they offer and why. Again, they will be able to make an educated recommendation for your needs. Choosing an orthodontist is an important part of your life. You dont want to give your teeth over to just anyone, so look for a professional with the right combination of credentials, experience, personality and technology to exceed your expectations. The results will make you smile.

How-to
Choose tires that match both your vehicle and the way you drive.

Choose Tires.
Extensive highway driving: Tires with a smooth, quiet ride. If you face very different driving conditions (heavy snow in the winter and lots of highway driving in the summer), consider selecting two sets of tires. Youll get better driving performance and longer total wear from your tires.

The tires on your vehicle can affect your safety & driving enjoyment.
Something Your Tires Dont Need
Nitrogen in Your Tires
Have you noticed that many tire stores now offer nitrogen as an alternative to compressed air for your vehicles tires? The theory behind this practice is that pure nitrogen is less subject to contraction and expansion than the regular air we all breathe, and that inflating your tires with the gas will save you fuel as a result. The truth is, standard compressed air is already around 78 percent nitrogen, and the differences between a tire filled with standard air and one filled with nitrogen are negligible at best. If the service is free, dont turn it down, but dont pay for it, either.

How Many Tires Do I Need?

All four tires should be identical size. If your tires dont match, you could have handling problems. For instance, one end of your vehicle may not respond as quickly or completely as the other end, making the vehicle more difficult to control. If you need to replace one tire that has been damaged, replace it with a tire of the same size and speed rating. A tire that doesnt match the other three tires on your vehicle could affect your driving safety. If you need to replace two tires and the remaining two have a lot of tread depth left, replace them with tires that match your existing set as closely as possible. Identical new tires are best but others of the same size and type can also provide good results.

What Kind Of Look Do I Want?

Think about whether youre happy with standard tires or you want the added flair of custom wheels or plus sizing.

How Can I Find The Best Value?

Should I Buy A Different Type Of Tire?

If you are replacing all four tires, you can explore another category of tires. If you want longer lasting tires, better traction or a smoother ride, there are tires that will help you accomplish this.

Simple fact: In the long run, cheap tires wont save you money. They dont last as long as higher quality tires and may result in a rougher ride and inferior handling. Your goal in tire shopping should be to find the highest quality tire that meets your specific needs and your budget.

A Tire Has Several Important Functions:

STEERS THE VEHICLE
A tires ability to maintain its course affects the vehicles ability to drive in a straight path. The tire has to help the vehicle steer regardless of road and weather conditions.

What Size Tire Do I Need?

Tires must be able to carry the weight of your vehicle. If a tire is overworked just carrying the load, it will have little reserve capacity to help your vehicle respond quickly and safely. Do not buy undersized tires. Check your owners manual, vehicle door jam or glovebox, to find the size of tire recommended for your vehicle.

1. Proper size of tire for the vehicle 2. Correct load range (ply rating) of tire for vehicle 3. Driving habits & average mileage/year 4. Pricing should include mounting, balancing, new valve stems & tire disposal 5. Facility should be capable of checking all aspects of tire vehicle wear & handling: Alignments, Wheel bearings, CV joints & axles, tie rods, ball joints, shocks & struts and brakes 6. Experienced, knowledgeable sales staff and certified licensed mechanics plus trained tire technicians
Cadillac News -

SUPPORT THE VEHICLE ABSORBS BUMPS

A car tire has to carry more than 50 times its own weight. The flexibility of a tire helps it absorb bumps on uneven road surfaces and provides a stable ride for the driver and passengers while protecting the vehicle.

What Weather And Driving Conditions Will The Tires Face?

Select a tire that suits the driving conditions you face most often: Snow or ice: Snow tires Heavy Traffic: More responsive tires Winding roads or in the mountains: A tire that handles well

TRANSMITS FORCES

Tires transmit the engines power to accelerate and the braking force to stop. How well the tire performs these functions depends in part on how well the tire is maintained.

How-to
Pharmacies have changed a lot over the years. In the past, they were usually small neighborhood stores where everyone knew your name. The selection might not have been the best, but the customer service they provided was always excellent. These days, many neighborhood pharmacies are large, corporate stores. The expansion in size has given them room to carry more products. No longer confined to selling only medicine or medical-related supplies, these pharmacies have turned into small retailers. Along with pharmaceutical goods, many stores also carry a variety of groceries and cosmetics. Unfortunately, not every pharmacy has kept its focus on its customers. As these stores have changed, it has become more important than ever to sift out the good from the bad. When deciding on which pharmacy you want servicing your prescription needs, there are several important factors to consider. emergency.

Choose a Pharmacy.
When deciding on which pharmacy you want servicing your prescription needs, there are several important factors to consider.
Location

A pharmacys location is just as important as its hours of operation. Using a pharmacy close to your house is not only convenient, but it also makes purchasing medical products much easier. You may even find a store that is on your way home from work or school, allowing you to quickly and easily stop and pick up your medication. It is also useful to have a pharmacy that is minutes away, in case someone in your family becomes sick in the middle of the night.

Drug Coverage

Availability

One factor to consider is the pharmacys hours of operation. Stores with limited business hours will not be very helpful if you or your loved ones get sick. Try finding a pharmacy with convenient business hours. You may even find a pharmacy in your city open 24 hours. Usually, it is the large corporate chain stores that will be open late. Smaller, locally owned pharmacies may have be open for a shorter duration, but tend to provide more personalized service than the larger stores. Regardless of the pharmacy you choose, it is always a good idea to know where a 24hour pharmacy is located in case of a late-night

Another factor to consider is whether the pharmacy accepts your prescription drug plan. Not every pharmacy accepts every kind of insurance. Call pharmacies to make sure they take your type of insurance. Convenient hours and location mean nothing if you are going to have to pay out of pocket. Anyone who has little to no prescription coverage should contact pharmacies and ask about prescription discounts. Many pharmacies are now offering lower prices on generic versions of medications, some of which may be medications that you take. By using a pharmacy that offers prescription drug discounts, you can save a good deal of money. Older patients who are on Medicare should be also take care when deciding on a pharmacy. Ask pharmacies in your area if they accept your Medicare Part D plan. As there are many options available on Medicare Part D plans, it is vital to make sure the pharmacy you select is willing

to work with your plan in order to cover the medications you need.

Service

One last thing to consider is customer service. It is important to find a store where you feel at home. Do the pharmacists and staff remember your name? Does the pharmacist take time to answer questions about your medication? Finding a pharmacy staff that is knowledgeable, helpful and friendly can go a long way. While it may not be easy to find a pharmacy that meets each of these criteria, with a little research you should be able to find one that fits your needs.

How-to
Physical Therapists (PTs) are health care professionals who diagnose and treat people of all ages who have medical problems or other healthrelated conditions that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. PTs must have a graduate degree from an accredited physical therapy program before taking the national licensure examination. The minimum educational requirement is a masters degree, yet most educational programs now offer the doctor of physical therapy (DPT) degree. Physical therapists practice in hospitals, private practices, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, homes, education or research centers, schools, hospices, corporate or industrial health centers, athletic facilities, and other settings.

You are the most important member of your own health care team.

How To Choose A Physical Therapist

Information You Need When Selecting A Physical Therapist

You are the most important member of your own health care team and are entitled to choose the most appropriate health care professional to meet your goals. Because physical therapy treatment plans are generally set up over a series of appointments, it is important that you feel comfortable and confident in the relationship with your PT. The treatment center or facility is also important so be sure to explore all options your community has to offer. Your success depends on it.

Make sure that you receive physical therapy from a licensed physical therapist. Physical therapists are professional health care providers who are licensed by the state in which they practice. If you are receiving physical therapy from a physical therapist assistant, be sure that he or she is supervised by a licensed physical therapist. Ask the physical therapy clinic if they participate with your insurance company and/or will they submit claims on your behalf to your insurance company. Some policies require copayments for services and the co-payment will be dependent on if the physical therapist is part of the insurers provider network. You will also have to meet your deductible. Finally, ask around. You may consider asking friends and family who they have used for their physical therapy care. You can also call clinics and ask to speak to a physical therapist about your specific case before making your choice.

Consumers Awareness

Freedom Of Choice

You have the freedom to choose your own physical therapist. No one can force you to choose one physical therapist over another or one facility over another. Just like it is your choice which pharmacy to use to fill your Doctors prescription, it is also your choice which clinic to use for your physical therapy care. Keep in mind that your insurance policy may affect your coverage for physical therapy depending on which clinic you choose. Some clinics also charge more than others and this affects your coverage and out-of-pocket expenses as well. Your physician may refer you

Your first visit should include an evaluation by the physical therapist. Your physical therapist will perform an examination to identify current and potential problems. Based on the results of the examination, and considering your specific goals, your physical therapist will design a plan of care to include specific interventions and will propose a timetable to achieve these goals and optimize your function. Your physical therapist will likely provide you with instructions to perform exercises at home to facilitate your recovery. You should feel comfortable asking your physical therapist any questions regarding your course of care, including specifics regarding interventions and expectations.

With the Court reaffirming healthcare reform it is more important for patients to understand their right to choose healthcare providers. Currently 47 states allow direct access to physical therapy providers. This means you, as a consumer of physical therapy services, have the right to schedule a consultation with a clinic of your choice without a prescription from your physician. Michigan happens to be one of three states, which does not allow you to visit a physical therapist without a prescription from a physician; however, you can expect that to change in the very near future. These changes are positive for all consumers as they allow you to gain greater control over your own healthcare. Look for clinics that invest in the continued education of their physical therapists and physical therapy assistants. Another good idea is to ask about recent awards or recognitions they have received. Focus on Therapeutic Outcomes (FOTO) performs surveys of physical therapy clinics nationwide every year. Do some research and find a clinic that performs well through the eyes of their peers and critics. Your success in recovery could depend on this decision and change the way you look at physical therapy treatment.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancerrelated death in men in the U.S. According to the American Cancer Society, one of every six men will develop prostate cancer in his lifetime. The good news is that over 90% of prostate cancers

are now being diagnosed in the early stages, and with early detection, remission rates greatly improve. Since there are often no symptoms to indicate prostate cancers early stages, we recommend annual rectal exams and PSA blood tests for men over age 45.

How-to
Because of this initial anxiety in the minds of car buyers, purchasing a new or even a used car has become a tactical encounter instead of a simple negotiation for a good price on a new or used car. There is a way to handle the entire process of car buying that consists of just a few calculated steps that will result in your finding a good car dealer you will be very pleased with. Selecting the right kind of car for you and your family is by far the biggest thing to consider. If you have a large family and you take frequent trips with the family, you should be looking at an SUV or a van to accommodate everyone. On the other hand, a college student buying a car will find that a small sub-compact or a compact car will meet his needs adequately. Consider your neighborhood and preferences when determining the type of the vehicle and related options. In case you have a long travel drive to work on a daily basis, you should think of a smaller vehicle having a good MPG rating. Also, items like hybrid models and suitable options for your needs as well as your locale should be considered. Those who live in cold weather must seriously consider a style of vehicle with all-wheel drive or frontwheel drive.
Friday, August 9, 2013 | www.cadillacnews.com

Choose a New Car Dealer.

New car buyers are often afraid of overpaying when they have to interact with a new car dealer to purchase a vehicle.

The next step is to spot vehicle types that interest you. Internet sites as well as other highly regarded resources are available for you to do research on styles which fit your needs. You really need to select from several models that interest you. Test driving the vehicle first, prior to making any concrete decisions to purchase or to speak about price is the correct way to proceed. You have got to identify your top two or so choices so that you can select a new car dealership to start discussing buying a vehicle. Do not get caught up in talking about sales agreements yet; youre still in the process of contemplating the ideal choice for your newcar. When you decide on a few cars you would consider purchasing, start to research the dealers in your local area. For your best two vehicle selections, it is best to find the closest couple of dealers for that make of vehicle. This is important in getting the selling price down, since dealers for the same types of vehicle will compete for your sale. Also make sure you have looked out for current sales of the car you are interested in. Automobile producers have several sales that may enable you to get a greater deal on the

automobile of your choice. In addition at particular times in the year, such as the product year-end occasions, you can get a better deal on a brand new automobile. If you are adamant, and want to hold out for the best possible price, get in touch with the dealerships in your local area with a request for a price quote on your top two favored models. This way when it comes time for you to complete a buying decision, you will possess price quotes that you can use to get a potentially better offer on the vehicle. After you have received price quotes from the closest dealerships, start contacting dealers of your favorite vehicle selection. Obtain the dealerships very best price on your automobile. Then you may wish to go to these dealers and begin talking to sales agents regarding your potential automobile purchase. It is critical that you only deal with a dealership youre comfortable with. Because of the large price of a car and the long-term commitment you are entering, you will find that it is worth it to invest a few extra dollars to get a seller who gives you a good buying experience and who meets your car buying needs.

How-to
Good advertising is often defined as that which moves a prospect or client to action. Action can be picking up the phone, visiting a retail location, or requesting additional information. Advertising is about selling. The point of your ad is to generate interest in your product or service. To create ads that sell well requires a disciplined approach. Below are seven steps that can guide even a novice to create effective print ads.

Choose Advertising.
Seven steps that can help to create effective print ads.
of any good story. What activity best conveys the problem and the powerful way your offering solves it? Copy, supported by photos or illustrations, must set up a believable contest, describe benefits, and create a desire to take action. Imagine you are your target customer. Use these tools on this site to help you relate to them. Regardless of the copy approach, your ad should follow the same AIDA formula that has proven to be effective in all print and broadcast advertising. This mnemonic reminds you to:

5. 6.

Make a prototype of the ad that looks as much like the final ad as possible. Place it in the venue where it will be seen. If its going to run in a magazine, tape your prototype into a magazine. Then, test it on friends, colleagues, or better yet, typical customers.

Test the layout on humans.

1.

Who are you selling to? What are they buying really? Choose the message that will attract customers attention, stimulate their interest, and the benefits of what you offer. Dont be in a hurry to start writing your ad. There are several components to the creative approach that must be decided before creative work begins. Youll need to: Identify the target market. Know as much about your audience as possible before writing or designing anything. Only when you know who you are talking to can you design an ad that fits its intended audience. Define the offerwill you be promoting your overall brand, or a specific product or product line? Choose a benefit with emotional appeal. What problem are you going to solve? What disaster will you keep at bay? Support your brand. Consider how the tone or style of the ad reflects on the public image youve created so far. Be consistent. Before you start writing, jot down a few words summarizing each of these components of your creative approach.

Choose the right creative approach.

Remember to write clearly and concisely in your copy. Avoid buzz-words, cliches and puns. Write to one person, not the massesmake your ads feel personal to your intended readership.

Aget Attention Iarouse Interest Dcreate Desire Astimulate Action

3.

Show the drafts to someone whos familiar with your business, your market and the publication in which the ad will appear. Take the readers seat for a moment and ask Why should I care? Then read your ad. Is it clear what you promise, and how you substantiate your claim? Is the benefit you promise one with plenty of emotional power? And finally, does the ad copy make it clear what you want the reader to do next? The call to action is critical. Do you want them to call? Say so. To visit your Web site? Offer an incentive: A bonus or contest waiting for them there.

Test the ad copy on humans.

When it comes to production, remember the old saying garbage in, garbage out. What you provide to the publication determines what appears in print. Printed images require higher resolution (expressed as dots per inch, or DPI), than images prepared for display on Web pages. Make sure that the photos or logos you use werent simply borrowed from your Web sitethe resolution of those files wont be high enough to make a sharp printing image. Beware of submitting art or photos Googled from the internet! These graphics cannot be reproduced without permission and could result in thousands in compensation damages. Rely on your publication to provide graphics from services they subscribe too. When in doubt, trust the publication to guide youtheyre professionals at this, and they have an interest in getting your ad right, thereby keeping you happy. Ask them to review your files for potential problems. Submit your ad well in advance of their publication deadlineno ones going to hold the presses while you scramble to get your ad finished.

Use only quality artwork in your ad.

2.

Pick one message and one message only. Dont try to cram everything into your advertising. Select one point, product or offer in your ad and build the copy and design elements around it. Ads that try to be all things to all people usually fail to reach anyone. Next, look for the action. Action is the heart

Write compelling ad copy.

4.

7.

Dont go overboard with graphics. Graphics should enhance your advertising and help draw people in to the ad, not overwhelm it. Unless you are very capable, use the newspapers creative graphics department. They are professionals and this service is free.

Design a clean, easy-to-follow ad layout.

From the beginning of printed advertising, advertisers have kept records of inquiries produced by different ads, in order to learn what works. In your ad, ask for a specific behavior, such as calling for a free sample, then track how many calls you receive.

Measure your results.

How-to
They can provide a bath or brush-out at critical times. After all, you wouldnt want visitors to smell your dog upon entering your home. But pet groomers can also have a hand at ensuring the health of your dog or cat. For instance, they can spot evidence of a skin disease. Groomers also clip hair around eyes and check your pets ears. You would never choose a doctor without thorough research. As well, dont select a groomer sight-unseen. These tips will help you find the right pet groomer for your furry family member.

Choose a Pet Groomer.

Anyone who owns a dog or cat knows the importance of having a good pet groomer.
Visit several groomers and check for cleanliness and professionalism. The area where pets are catered to should be clean and smell fresh. Ask to be shown where pets are kept while waiting for services. Watch how the groomer and staff interact with animals and clients. We all lose our patience from time-to-time, and nothing can be more difficult than washing a wiggly pet. Still, a groomer should never jerk a pet around or yell at it. Ask about their services. Do they groom both cats and dogs? Do they allow you to select the shampoo? Are toenail trims and anal gland expressions a part of the price, or do those services cost extra? Asking these things ahead of time will spare you disappointment when you pick up your pet. Some groomers do not offer these services at all; if they are important to you be sure to find out if they can be done. What happens should your pet have a medical issue while they are at the groomer? Does the groomer have a cooperative relationship with a local veterinarian? Some towns have mobile pet groomers. These are people who have a van outfitted with all they need to groom your pet right in front of your house. If traveling is inconvenient, this might be a viable option for you.

Referrals

One of the best ways to find a pet groomers is to ask your friends and family for recommendations. Referrals are a big part of a groomers business. Many groomers make an extra effort to provide excellent services. If you get the name of a groomer via a recommendation, be sure to mention it. They will be pleased to know their business has a strong reputation. They will also want to make sure you are happy enough to refer them to someone else. Pet groomers can be found in large pet stores, veterinary offices and stand-alone businesses. Look in your local newspaper, Yellow Pages or online for local grooming shops. Look for a great groomer in a location thats convenient for you, as you will be dropping your pet off and picking them up later in the day.

Bringing Your Pet

Visit and Ask Questions

Friday, August 9, 2013 | www.cadillacnews.com

Before scheduling an appointment with the groomer, bring your pet by for a meet-and-

greet. Watch how the groomer interacts with your pet and if your pet seems comfortable with the groomer. You know your pet best. If your dog is stressed by toenail trims, bites those who clean its ears or is petrified of the hair dryer, bring this to the groomers attention. If your pet has difficulty getting his nails trimmed, be sure to mention it to the groomer. Decide what services you want before you walk through the door. Groomers, at times, work on commission and may try to upsell you. Others will simply make note of what you want and get it done. Never let them talk you into services you do not need or want. If you are unhappy with the way your pet looks when you pick him or her up, speak to the groomer immediately. It may have been due to a miscommunication or your pets behavior. Most groomers will ix the problem to your satisfaction right away.

Theres No Place Like Home
After my mothers surgery, she required special care. Home health care was the solution prescribed by her doctor to get skilled nursing care in the comfort of home. I wanted to compare local agencies to see which provided the best quality of care. I searched on Medicares Home Health Compare at www. medicare.gov on the Web.

Continued health supervision with an emphasis on health promotion enables these patients to maintain both a stable state of health and relative independence.

Assisted Living & Memory Care

www.cadillacnews.com | Friday, August 9, 2013

How-to
But it doesnt have to be.
Thanks to a new option in senior care services, people diagnosed with Alzheimers or other forms of dementia are able to get specialized medical and personal care that can minimize the impact of memory loss on their daily lives. These new specialized facilities often called memory care centers differ from nursing homes or assisted living facilities in several important ways. They have staff members trained and experienced in caring for Alzheimers patients, a setting that makes residents feel comfortable, and activities and rehabilitation treatments designed to let residents remain as independent as possible.

Choose a Memory Care Center.

When a loved one faces memory loss, it can be a frightening and stressful experience.
Take notes about both the common areas and the residents individual rooms, and be prepared to ask lots of questions. What scheduled activities does the center offer? Is there an exercise area? Are family members welcome for meals? What types of therapies are available on site? Cleanliness is also an important consideration because its a signal about how well-managed a facility is. If the floors are spotless and the air smells fresh, thats a good indication that managers and employees take pride in what they do. Security is also crucial for memory care centers. Because it can be dangerous and sometimes deadly when advanced Alzheimers patients leave the facility, make sure you know exactly what security features the center has to protect residents.

STAFF

When choosing a memory care center for a loved one, the most important thing to consider is the training, experience level and attitude of the staff members. These are the people your loved one will be interacting with all the time, so you need to make sure theyre well-trained and capable of providing excellent care at all times. When touring a facility, notice the general atmosphere of the staff and residents. Does it seem chaotic and disorganized, or does it seem relaxed, calming and home-like? And because following a familiar routine is a big part of making Alzheimers patients feel comfortable, its important that the staff is stable and consistent. Excessive turnover among nurses, or too many part-time employees, can be a bad sign. Make sure you find out the ratio of staff to residents and the qualifications of the medical staff. If you need more information on what

type of care your loved one needs, always ask your doctor to get specific advice.

SECURE, COMFORTABLE SETTING

In general, its good for a memory care center to look more like a home and less like a hospital. If the facilities are warm and inviting, as opposed to cold and clinical, the residents are going to be more relaxed and feel more like theyre at home.

Finally, you need to know what support services are offered for residents and their families. Because Alzheimers is such a wide-ranging disease, with symptoms from mild to extreme, you should make sure the memory care center is equipped to deal with the stage your loved one is in -- both now and in the future. And since dementia is a disease that affects not just one person, but their entire family, it can be helpful to find a memory care center that offers support groups for family members and caregivers. In the end, you ought to be comfortable that your decision fits both your family and your loved ones needs. For people suffering from memory loss, a good memory care center will help them make the most of every day.

How-to
WHAT IS AN OB/GYN?
An Obstetrician/Gynecologist, commonly abbreviated as OB/GYN is a physician specialist who has completed an additional four years of specialized training beyond medical school focusing on the health of the female reproductive system and in the management of pregnancy, labor and the timeperiod directly following childbirth. This specialist provides both medical and surgical care to women and has particular expertise is pregnancy, childbirth and disorders of the reproductive system. They take vital care of a womans health needs not just during the reproductive years, but also throughout her entire life. Because the OB/GYN plays such a central role in one of the most private aspects of your life, finding the right one takes some time and planning.

choose an OB/GYN.
by listing themselves as a fellow. The initials of FACOG or FACOOG following the physicians degree represent this. You may also choose to contact the states medical board; often the board will release information through a web site or toll-free number. Insurance Coverage: Check with your insurance carrier on which OB/GYNs are part of your plan. Your Expectations: If your plans include childbearing, you will want to make sure your physician currently practices both obstetrics and gynecology. You must ask whether he or she delivers babies as some OB/GYNs limit their practice to gynecology only. Feel free to ask about their experience; how long they have been practicing, how many babies they have delivered and how many similar surgical procedures they have preformed. Hospital: Find out which hospital your physician practices at. Ideally you should be comfortable with the hospital, as well as with your physician/ surgeon, and both should be within reasonable driving distance of your home or work. Preferably this information should be determined before developing a relationship with your OB/GYN or otherwise you may be forced to make a change at a critical point in your care. Physicians Coverage: Find out whether your physician is in solo practice or has one or more partners. You should have a clear understanding of who handles deliveries and after-hour problems and emergencies when your physician is ill, off duty or out of town. You should feel comfortable with these arrangements as no one physician can be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Office and Staff: Evaluate the office and staff starting from the first telephone communication. Are you treated politely and professionally? Do you feel welcome, unhurried and does the staff seem competent and caring? Is it a clean and pleasant environment? You should trust and feel at ease with the staff as well as your doctor. Medical Conditions: If you have chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease or epilepsy that may complicate a pregnancy or require special care, find out if your physician is experienced to treat you. Most OB/GYNs will be able to manage patients with these high-risk complications. At times they may obtain consultation with a perinatologist (high risk obstetric sub-specialist). For those patients who have had difficulty in conceiving, most OB/GYNs can evaluate and offer initial treatment for infertility.

The best time to select an OB/GYN is while you are healthy, before you need care, so you can make a careful, informed choice.

WHY CHOOSE AN OB/GYN?

THINGS TO CONSIDER?

The best time to select an OB/GYN is while you are healthy, before you need care, so you can make a careful, informed choice. Most often this relationship begins with scheduling an annual preventative exam that includes a pap smear and breast and pelvic examinations. These type of appointments allow you to evaluate the physicians practice style, as well as their skill, kindness and compassion. If you would feel more comfortable, try scheduling an introductory visit rather than an actual GYN examination. You will probably be charged for the office time, but if finding the right doctor and feeling comfortable is a concern, it may be worth it. Recommendations: To help find a reputable physician get some neighborly advice by asking for recommendations from family, friends, coworkers and/or trustworthy medical professionals in your community. Professional Certification: Make sure your doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology. Board-certification indicates that the doctor has taken and passed the accreditation test to practice in the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology. Boardeligible indicates that the doctor is qualified to take the test, but has not yet taken or passed the exam. Board certified physicians are permitted by their specialty organizations to indicate this achievement

A womans life is filled with many changes. We may notice little things month to month and larger changes as years go by. An OB/GYN is skilled at addressing the health care needs of women at all stages as their needs change; from the teenage years throughout menopause. They specialize in the treatment of well woman care, they evaluate and treat pelvic pain, abnormal pap smears, abnormal bleeding and perform female pelvic surgery. Providing evaluation of infertility and starting basic treatment is included in many practices; with referral to an infertility speciality if appropriate. They also manage problems that may occur later in life with pelvic support such as urinary incontinence. When expecting a baby, a woman makes many important decisions including: the choice to breast or bottle feed, care seat safety, child care and even the childs future education. The first decision is who will care for her and the baby over the next nine months promoting a happy, healthy pregnancy. An OB/GYN has specialized training in the management of pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and will be able to handle most problems that arise. The birth of your child will be one of the most special moments of your lives and most women hope for that perfect birth experience with a normal vaginal delivery. If however, you have a complicated pregnancy or if problems arise during labor or at delivery, your OB/GYN has the specialized training to manage the complication and perform a C-Section if indicated. Things happen very quickly in an emergency situation and this can be scary. Rather than having someone unfamiliar called in, you may feel more at ease knowing your OB/GYN will be there to manage the situation. Women feel more secure when they have a good long-standing relationship with their physician.
