Federally Qualified Health Centers are important safety net providers in rural areas. FQHCs are outpatient clinics that qualify for specific reimbursement systems under Medicare and Medicaid. They include federally designated Health Center Program awardees, and certain outpatient clinics associated with tribal organizations.
The Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) Health Center Compliance Manual provides additional information on health center requirements.
Health Center Grantee: Health centers that receive grant funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care, under the Health Center Program, as authorized by Section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. Most grants provide support to contribute to serving an entire underserved community (or service area), while others fund specific underserved populations as mandated in the Section 330 authorization, such as agricultural workers, persons experiencing or at risk for homelessness, and residents of public housing.
Health Center Look-Alikes: Look-alikes are health centers that have been certified by the federal government as meeting all the Health Center Program requirements, but do not receive grant funding under the Health Center Program.
Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC): FQHCs are outpatient clinics that qualify for specific reimbursement systems under Medicare and Medicaid. FQHCs include federally-supported health centers (both grantees and look-alikes) as well as certain outpatient clinics associated with tribal organizations. Note that different rules may apply to outpatient clinics associated with tribal organizations who enroll in Medicare or Medicaid as FQHCs.
Health Center: A non-specific term that does not identify whether a health facility is a Health Center Program grantee, a health center look-alike, or an FQHC.
For the remainder of this guide, the term health centers will be used to refer to Health Center Program grantees, look-alikes, and FQHCs.

Family Wants Answers After Loved One Taken Away 6 Years Ago
CABOT, Ar.–It's been six years since a Jacksonville woman's body was found near the Ouachita National Forest. The family is speaking out for the first time seeking for answers and justice. Latasha Pierce said she feels like her sisters case was swept under the rug.
Pierce said her sister, Jackie Hibbs was a mother, daughter and friend to many. Pierce said they're going to keep fighting until they have answers.
"She was the sweetest person. She would give you the shirt off her back," said Pierce.
Latasha Pierce said her sister Jackie Hibbs went out to Lake Sylvia near the Ouachita National Forrest with a friend on July 14, 2012. The next day she got a call from Jackie's friend.
"She told me your sisters gone missing. I was like what do you mean missing and she was like she was behind us in the water and we turned around and she was gone. I said what do you mean my sister can't swim, she wouldn't be in the water," said Pierce.
Saline County detectives and officers from Game and Fish began searching for Hibbs. On July 19, 2012, Pierce said a passer-by spotted her body.
"When they found her it wasn't much left of her," said Pierce.
When the investigation started Pierce said there were no leads or suspects.
"People were brought in and they changed their story 3 different times," said Pierce.
Now, six years later she fears detectives have forgotten about the case.
"It has been swept under the rug. I've called numerous times to find out what's going, have they heard anything," said Pierce.
And to the people responsible.
"You know who you are. it's a very sad thing. she had a little girl and other kids," said Pierce.
As the family continues to fight for justice, Pierce wishes she could see her sister one more time.
"I love her and I should have told her that day and I didn't because I didn't think it would be the last time I saw her," said Pierce.
Pierce said they've started a Facebook and Go Fund Me page named, Justice for Jackie Hibbs. The money raised will be a cash reward for any information in her sisters case.
We also reached out to Lt. Jeffrey Silk with the Saline County Sheriff's Office. He said he is going to research the case and provide an update Wednesday.

The 120 Minutes Archive Compiles Clips & Playlists from 956 Episodes of MTV's Alternative Music Show (1986-2013)
in Music, Television | February 15th, 2016 Leave a Comment
In the first couple years after MTV's 1981 debut, the fledgling cable network more or less reproduced the 70's album-oriented rock radio format with video accompaniment, to the exclusion of a number of emerging popular artists (a fact David Bowie bemoaned in '83). In the mid-80s, the network diversified: Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" broke the color barrier in 1984, and in the following years, the network moved toward edgier music with shows like Headbanger's Ball in '85 (originally Heavy Metal Mania) and, a few years later, Yo! MTV Raps.
In 1986, another show appeared that solidified MTV's status—for a few years at least—as a genuine source for new, "alternative" music, before that term became an empty marketing word. Tucked away in a midnight to 2 A.M. slot, 120 Minutes initially "guided viewers through the late '80s college rock landscape, which was largely inspired by trends happening in the UK at the time."
So writes Tyler at Tylerc.com, who hosts the hugely impressive 120 Minutes Archive, a recreation of the 27-year run of the two-hour music video, news, and interview show that broke many an "alternative" artist in the U.S. and gave many more a platform to promote their music, causes, and personalities. Enter the archive here.
I well remember staying up late, the volume turned down as low as possible so as not to wake the family, and catching videos for the Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man" (above) and R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World (As We Know It)," among so many other bands art-pop, new wave, post-punk, industrial, etc. The show was like a video analogue to Trouser Press—and browsing the online database of that "'bible' of alternative rock" will give you a good sense of 120 Minutes' breadth. Though it featured a very healthy mix of hardcore, electronic, and new wave music from both sides of the pond, the show often seemed to be dominated by British bands like the Cure (whose Robert Smith once guest hosted), Depeche Mode, the Psychedelic Furs, and (second from top) Big Audio Dynamite, Mick Jones' post-Clash project, which Lou Reed discusses briefly in the clip at the top from his 1986 stint as a guest host. (See several more clips of his hosting here.)
In the 90s, 120 Minutes became a showcase for much more homegrown product as the "blender of post-punk, goth, industrial, and jangle-rock gave way… to a coalesced grunge movement" after the seismic debut of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in 1991, with the likes of Mudhoney, Soundgarden, the Dandy Warhols, and the Smashing Pumpkins taking over for much of the British new wave. Those who came of age in the 90s will remember the show's host Matt Pinfield's obsessive, rock critic's approach to "the rise and fall of alternative rock." Soon, the show became a heavily eclectic mix: Brit pop arrived (along with the baggy Madchester of the Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, etc.), and "post-grunge bands, left of center singer-songwriters, west coast ska-inspired bands, and alternative hip hop acts" joined the playlist.
The mid-nineties seem like golden years in retrospect. Flush with cash, record companies threw money at anything vaguely Nirvana-shaped, which enabled a number of excellent bands and artists to break out of their local scenes and into larger studios and stages like the traveling circus of Lollapalooza. (The situation also produced a drag of derivative, dumbed-down awfulness.) Scroll through the playlists Tyler C has compiled for 1994, for example, a year I fondly, mostly, remember, to get a sense of the range of artists and genres the show embraced by this time—from the hammering industrial-metal of Ministry (above) to the hazy, ethereal psych-folk of Mazzy Star (below). Post-Nirvana "alternative rock" went so mainstream that the network eventually ran a companion show every weeknight called Alternative Nation, so named despite the fact that "alternative" came to mean precisely the opposite of the outsider status it had once described.
The boom times couldn't last. As the millennium waned, so did the heyday of alt-rock music videos. Reality TV and bubblegum pop took over. "In the era of TRL," writes Tyler C, "the future of 120 Minutes on MTV was uncertain." As MTV relegated music videos—once its raison d'etre—to the margins, 120 Minutes became MTV's "de facto rock show," then moved to MTV 2, then off the air altogether in 2003 after a 17-year run. Then, as indie rock ascended to popularity, the show was revived for a 2003-2011 run as Subterranean and again as 120 Minutes until 2013.
Though Tyler C's exhaustive archive contains few actual clips from the show, it does document 120 Minutes' entire history, from its underground late 80s inception, through the mainstream 90s, and into the subdued 2000's, with playlists from each episode and, writes Buzzfeed, "histories of what bands played, descriptions of tours the show appeared on, and anecdotes where possible." You can watch full episodes of the show's last couple years with Matt Pinfield on MTV Hive (Many, like this one, broadcast from New York's Cake Shop).
The archive, Tyler told Buzzfeed, resonates with Gen X'ers because "it's all about nostalgia"—and I can certainly testify to that effect---and appeals to younger people "because that era of music in the '90s was so important. It was the age of EVERYTHING alternative." For those of us who lived through the decade, and who aged out of MTV's demographic around the time that Tyler aged in, it's also an opportunity to catch up with later seasons of the show we probably missed. They may be as essential someday---in their own way---as the ones we so wistfully recall.

Sam Ficken - Penn State
Zane Gonzalez - Arizona State
Sam Ficken
Zane Gonzalez
It was a career game for 2013 Groza semifinalist Jake Elliott in Memphis's 40-20 defeat of Tulsa in AAC action on Friday night in Memphis. Elliott's 16 points were a career high and third highest in school history by a kicker. The Western Springs, Ill. native scored from 53, 51, 47 and 37 yards out and converted his four extra point tries. The 53 yarder was the second longest field goal in program history, while the 51 yarder marked the fifth 50+ yard kick already in the sophomore's young career. His 71 points lead all Tigers in scoring.
Saturday's Big Ten game between Penn State and Maryland in State College was all about the kickers, with senior Sam Ficken earning Star of the Week recognition for kicking field goals of 48, 47, 46 and 25 yards in the Nittany Lions' heart-breaking 20-19 loss to the Terps on Brad Craddock's game-winning kick of 43 yards in the final minutes. Ficken, a native of Valparaiso, Ind. became the first Penn State kicker to have three field goals of more than 45 yards in a game since at least 1982, and his 13 points moved him into sixth place in all-time Penn State scoring with 239. He has made 17 of his 19 field goal attempts this season and all 17 extra point attempts. He leads all Nittany Lion scorers with 68 points.
Arizona State rode the leg of sophomore Zane Gonzalez to a 19-16 overtime defeat of Utah in Tempe late Saturday night. The victory kept the Sun Devils in first place in the Pac-12 South and increased their hopes for a chance to play for a spot in the inaugural College Football Playoff. The Deer Park, Texas native, a 2013 Groza semifinalist, earned his second Star of the Week selection this season by connecting on field goals of 45, 30 and 20 yards in regulation, and his first career game-winner from 36 yards out in overtime. Gonzalez is 14 of 17 on the season and leads all Sun Devil players in scoring with 69 points.

John Kelly died on his third day in the field in Vietnam, struck by a mortar as he disembarked the helicopter.
Born February 15, 1947 in Houston, Texas to Jimmy Elizabeth Hood and Edward Fagan Kelly. He spent most of his life in Houston and moved to Midland when his father was transferred with his job. Kelly was a graduate of Midland Lee High school, Class of 65. He was one of the best golfers ever to play for the Rebels.
He later attended Texas Tech for two years. Nicknamed "Munko" and "Johanna", he is recalled as having the ability to make others laugh. He enlisted in the Army from Houston, Texas in January, 1968. He completed basic training at Fort Polk, Louisiana and Medic Training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
He started his tour in Vietnam on July 16, 1968. He was assigned as a medic with Company A, 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.
He was buried with full military honors in the Quanah Memorial Park Cemetery in Quanah, Texas.
A relative wrote of him, "The world has been a sadder place ever since (his death). I guess I will never get over his death. The Permian Basin Vietnam Veterans Memorial will keep his name alive; his personality and his laughter is my job."

From Part VII…Then one day in November, I read my latest letter from Chuck and it was signed: Love, Chuck.
Love, Chuck? Now that was intriguing. He had never signed a letter with "love" before. Snow, classes and work were keeping me busy. Letters continued to pass in a flurry between Chuck and myself. We wrote so frequently they often crossed in the mail.
A few weeks later I stood in the airport, frozen with excitement and nerves. Today was the day. Chuck was coming to visit. I knew this reunion would be awkward. For one thing, last time we had seen each other, he was my team leader, and I was simply a teenager. The rules with Teen Missions were clear: no pairing off. And certainly no pairing off with your team leader. Last time we had been together, I had to ask Chuck's permission to use the bathroom. Now we were about to meet face-to-face as two adults. Well, he was an adult anyway. At 23 he obviously had it all together. He had a real job and a real house and real bills. I still felt like an awkward teenager.
My palms were sweaty, my heart beating fast. A long line of weary travelers were filing off of the plane. I scanned each face, not wanting to appear over-eager. Finally, I saw a blonde head walking toward me. He was wearing glasses (unlike last time I saw him) and was a bit heavier. In his right hand he carried a small, lunch-sized cooler. I made eye contact and he gave me a small smile. He continued to walk toward me at a steady pace; I stood still. This was awkward. He wasn't really smiling…the closer he got the more nervous I got. Suddenly he was right in front of me and kept on walking. Right past me.
I took a deep breath and scanned the crowd again. If that wasn't Chuck, where was he? I turned around and saw the blonde man still walking around, obviously looking for someone. Wait…maybe it was Chuck. Shoot. I had no idea. Should I run up to him and say "hi"? Oh man…this was so weird. To not recognize each other after 5 months of writing long, personal letters? How awkward.
I stood frozen with indecision. Just then I saw Chuck stepping out of the walkway. There was no mistaking it this time. This was my Chuck. He was wearing green jacket and Levi jeans over a pair of black cowboy boots. His face broke into a huge grin when he saw me. His pace quickened and he walked over to me, said hi and gave me a big hug.
Back at the house, we said a quick hello to my grandma, then settled down on the couch to get caught up.
Well that was weird. Of course I didn't. If I had a boyfriend, I would have mentioned it long before then.
Chuck reached into his jacket pocket and presented me with a small, velvet jewelry box. I opened it up to find a pair of diamond earrings. It was late and we headed off to bed shortly after that.
The next morning we stood at my grandma's kitchen counter, watching her make breakfast for us. As we joked back and forth, I felt Chuck's foot under the counter, touching mine. Yep, he was playing footsie with me. Between the diamond earrings and the footsie playing, I knew we well on our way to being a couple.
We made plans to drive the three and half hours to my parents house. They, obviously wanted to meet the blonde Canadian who wrote me so many letters, and he (claimed) he wanted to see more of Alaska. "There's just one thing," I said. "I need to get the brakes shoes on my Jeep replaced".
"I can do that for you" he said.
I didn't even realize people could do things like "change brake shoes". I thought that was something just mechanics did. As if all automotive shops were filled with space age robots taking care of mysterious things like "changing brake shoes".
The brake shoes were ordered and as soon as they arrived Chuck got to work. He had a bit of trouble getting them in, but with a little determination and Canadian monkey grease, those brake shoes were installed and we were on our way!
"The Jeep seems to be having a bit of trouble," I told Chuck. "It kinda hard to drive".
I didn't want to make too big of a deal about the Jeep. First of all, I was trying to show him how mature and worldly I was. Drivin' my Jeep Wagoneer, three hours away from the big city. But something wasn't right. Eventually Chuck got behind the wheel of the Jeep and agreed something was off.
"I just don't understand. I told the guy exactly what make and model the Jeep was. I've replaced brake shoes plenty of times. These seem really hot, though".
Heads up: I notice there is no link to part vii on your page for that.
I was really excited to see the next chapter! I have an unrelated comment that I hope is useless. Are you still looking for a cause for Apollo's fatigue? Have they looked at mitochondrial diseases? You can look on the Katierosefoundation.com site for info. Shot in the dark but I thought I'd share anyway.

Once we arrived and figured out where to order our cappuccino and pastry, we waited at the coffee bar for our order. Seating in this cafe was extra, so just enjoyed our first breakfast standing up.
This was amazing!! I could get used to having this for breakfast every day!
Now before I write much more, I have to warn you that these Italy posts will be photo heavy. I did take my Nikon DSLR, but honestly, it was so much easier to just capture images with my iPhone.
After we finished our breakfast, we attempted to get an Uber to take us over to the Colosseum. Let me just say, our GPS did not work very well while we were over there. So we didn't find the spot where we needed to get the Uber. We ended up just catching a taxi to help cut down on the amount of walking we would be doing.
We did not purchase tickets ahead of time, so we stood in line to enter Palatine Hill first.
I loved seeing excavation work going on at Palatine Hill. I wonder how many items they still find in the area.
All of the signs had Italian and English. Do you see the dates on this sign?
It is incredible how many structures are still standing in this area from almost 2000 years ago!
After spending quite a bit of time walking around Palatine Hill, we made it over to the line to enter The Colosseum. The sheer size of this building is overwhelming!
I tried to photograph some of the less photographed things I found while walking around inside The Colosseum.
How many hearts do you see in this wall?
We even had someone take our photo!
By this time, it had been quite a few hours since our cappuccino and croissant.
I don't even remember all that we ordered for lunch, which is why photos from almost six months ago are helpful! But I do know, since it was a bit cold outside, we did have another cappuccino.
After we finished lunch, we started walking toward The Pantheon.
We walked by the Imperial Forum. Some of these walls and columns were constructed before Jesus was born!
The Pantheon is one of the buildings I did not want to miss on our trip.
This was my best attempt to capture the inside of The Pantheon. It is mind blowing to think how they constructed the inside of the dome and this building!
As you can see, many of the streets in Rome are quite narrow and nothing like the modern streets we have in the United States.
Many of the churches in Rome are open to the public. I recommend walking inside a few of them to admire the elaborate details.
We have heard that most people who travel to Rome, stop by Trevi Fountain to throw in a coin. Apparently, if you do this, you are guaranteed a return trip to Italy...that is if you believe in that kind of stuff.
Did we throw in a coin? You bet we did! We had to do what all of the other tourists do!
By this time, after walking who knows how many miles, it was time to find a place for dinner.
...because they had homemade gnocchi on the menu!
Because we did so much walking, we ordered tiramisu for dessert, yum!
Probably the strangest thing we saw on this day was these Unicorn Fruit Loops in the market. Too bad we didn't have room in our luggage to bring a box or two of these home!
Have you ever been to Rome? What is the strangest thing you have ever seen while out of the country?
Stay tuned...day three of our trip will be coming soon!

Gnarwolves release new song, "The Waiting Line"
Friday, September 25, 2015 at 4:26 PM (PST) by Gina Skidz
Brit skate-punks Gnarwolves have a new EP called Adolescence scheduled for release on November 13th, but you can now hear a new song called "The Waiting Line," below.
The band had this to say about the new material:
"With this record we've tried to create a record that flows from start to finish. We tend to get pretty influenced by the music we listen to in the van, so this record definitely has a DC hardcore vibe to it. It's heavy, it's short, and it's probably the most agitated we've sounded on record. Thematically the songs are about having a crisis of faith with society. About trying to adjust to realities that are essentially sick. And being sad about girls. Basically, it's a 9 minute ripper that's going to be an awful lot of fun to play live. Oh, and track 3 will surprise you!"
The Adolescence EP will be the band's first release since their self-titled album came out in 2014.

Album Review: Svalbard- "Flightless Birds"
Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 11:09 AM (PST) by Carson Winter
Bristol's Svalbard plays crust punk with a post rock twist– similar in spirit to Deafheaven's black metal/ post rock sound and Tragedy's melodic take on crust. The result is something beautiful and surprisingly accessible, but nonetheless unrelenting. Flightless Birds is only two songs long, but it does exactly what a two song release should do: make you wish there was more.
"Flightless Birds" opens the EP, managing a tightrope walk between outright aggression and ethereal beauty. The song is filled with melody, an excellent counterpoint to the vocalists' throat shredding screams. Half way through, Svalbard dials the hardcore back and lets the dreamy soundscape of their post rock influences shine through. It's a balancing act that they execute perfectly. Upon hearing the concept of their sound in words, I was worried it would come off as a far cry from the aggressive anti-pop that is crust. Thankfully, Svalbard combine the melodic and ethereal sounds of post-rock cohesively, creating a sound that is as confrontational as it is beautiful.
There's a desperate quality inherent in "For What It's Worth." It bleeds feeling– reminiscent of the reckless outpours of Rites of Spring and Embrace. It also gives the listener a broader taste of Svalbard's musical palette– featuring a taste of melodic vocals sung on the edge of hoarseness. Throughout the song, the guitars spit, languish, and burn through memorable riffs, melodies, and lines of trilling notes. There's a remarkable amount of diversity in fretwork, and for good reason; while the songs on Flightless Birds are by no means ten minute monsters, they are longer than the average punk song. It's a more subtle detail, but this is where Svalbard impressed me the most. They are able to sustain a song's duration with quality music better than most other bands that seek to travel past the four minute mark. The music they write warrants the time spent listening and never edges past the border of self-indulgence.
Flightless Birds is a quality EP and a clear indicator of more good to come from Svalbard. For those that are fans of punk at its most defiantly musical, this is a clear victory.

WHP has been shortlisted in the North East Business Awards 2019 – one of the region's most prestigious annual accolades.
The news sees engineering specialist WHP confirmed as a finalist in the Export Award category for businesses across the Northumberland and Tyneside area.
The awards celebrate achievement and innovation among North East business, while the much sought-after export accolade recognises companies that have generated substantial and sustained increases in export activity.
WHP has seen continued success over the last 24 months, achieving significant growth in overseas markets and delivering export sales of £5.5m in 2018. Several multi-million-pounds of business has already been secured for 2019 with further opportunities in final stages of negotiation as the company targets further growth in existing and new market sectors.
Overall, the company anticipates that future growth will come from increased market share, developing new markets and introducing new solutions in the provision of design and build services for cleanroom and process plant installations. To support this growth, investment has also been made in new sales teams, which will be developed further in 2019 with additional people.
Ian Lichfield, Chief Executive, said: "We're delighted to have been shortlisted for such a prestigious award, which reflects our success in winning and developing significant overseas trade.
The North East Business Awards are organised by The Journal and Gazette newspapers, in association with North East England Chamber of Commerce and a host of sponsors. The winners of the regional awards will go through to the Grand Final in May, which this year is being held at Hardwick Hall.


AOL CEO Tim Armstrong has often talked about the company's one constant: change and more of the same. Whether it's rebranding business divisions or moving executives from one department to another, nothing at AOL stays the same for long. Artie Minson, despite having been promoted less than a year ago to COO from CFO, has been there for years and was noted for helping manage AOL's spin-off from Time Warner. But he's going to be leaving the company as his responsibilities were reduced after AOL divided its business into three separate operating groups: Brand, Network and Membership. The Brand Group has had difficulty building up revenues for its owned & operated sites, including Patch, though progress has been made. To speed things along, AOL has named media veteran -- and AOL board member -- Susan Lyne as CEO of the Brand Group. "In her roles as CEO then Chairman of Gilt, and previously as President and CEO of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Susan has a proven track record of brand building and aggressive growth," Armstrong said.

Q: How do you remove duplicate values then display unique values? public class nrlSports {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        String[] direction = {"north", "north", "east", "south", "south", "south", "north", "north"};

        for(int i=0; i<direction.length; i++) {
            int count = 0;
            for(int j = 0; j < direction.length; j++)
                if(direction[i].equals(direction[j])) {
                    count++;
                }
            System.out.println(direction[i] + " (" + count + ")");
        }
    }
}

The output is:
north (4)
north (4)
east (1)
south (3)
south (3)
south (3)
north (4)
north (4)
How do I remove these duplicate values so the output should look like this:
north (4)
east (1)
south (3)

A: This can help :
public static void main(String[] args){
    String[] direction = {"north", "north", "east", "south",
                          "south", "south", "north", "north"};
    Map<String, Integer> countMap = new HashMap<String, Integer>();

    for(int i=0; i<direction.length; i++) {
        String key = direction[i];
        if(!countMap.containsKey(key)){
            countMap.put(key, 1);
        }
        else
        {
            countMap.put(key, countMap.get(key)+1);
        }
    }
    System.out.println(countMap);
}

A: thought the solution is not optimized one but will work (confirmed by running it :) )
        String[] direction = {"north", "north", "east", "south", "south", "south", "north", "north"};
    HashMap<String,Integer> myHash = new HashMap<String, Integer>();

    for(int i=0; i<direction.length; i++) {
        int count = 0;
        for(int j = 0; j < direction.length ; j++)
            if(direction[i].equals(direction[j])) {
                count++;
                myHash.put(direction[i], new Integer(count));
            }
    }

       Iterator T = (Iterator) myHash.entrySet().iterator();
       while( T.hasNext() )
       {
            Map.Entry newEntery = (Map.Entry) T.next();
            System.out.print(newEntery.getKey() +"("+ newEntery.getValue()+")");
       }

A: Use a set . Add all of them to a set and you will get unique values.
EDIT:
I missed count part. Adding it now
String[] direction = {"north", "north", "east", "south",
                          "south", "south", "north", "north"};

    Map<String,int> m = new HashMap<String,int>();

 for(String str:direction){
    if(m.contains(str))
       m.put(key,m.get(str)+1);
    else
       m.put(key,1);
}

//key is all values you want to add and count in no. of times values is repeated.

So if you want all the unique values, you can iterate over keyset and get corresponding count from Map.

A: My possible simple way is
Set<String> directionS= new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(direction));

and then play with  directionS

A: How about this approach
String[] direction = { "north", "north", "east", "south", "south",
        "south", "north", "north" };

Map<String, Integer> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();//to preserve order or elements
for (String key : direction) {
    if (map.containsKey(key))
        map.put(key, map.get(key) + 1);
    else
        map.put(key, 1);
}
for (Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry : map.entrySet())
        System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "(" + entry.getValue() + ")"+
                String.format("%"+entry.getValue()+"s", "").replace(' ', '*'));

output
north(4)****
east(1)*
south(3)***

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is an early-onset and severe retinal dystrophy leading to congenital blindness. It is diagnosed by a severely reduced or absent electroretinogram (ERG) before one year of age. Shortly after birth, patients usually manifest poor fixation, nystagmus, photophobia, and amaurotic pupils. Later, in most patients, a large variety of retinal changes appear, including salt-and-pepper pigmentation, attenuated vessels, and atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). LCA is mostly inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder.

Builders weigh in on wintry New York show
Reagan Haynes
The Progressive Insurance New York Boat Show had some good days, but it might have lost some business because of the winter storm that hit the Northeast last Thursday and Friday.
"On Friday, people were telling you all along don't leave your house, so people did not," Rec Boat Holdings group president Roch Lambert told Trade Only Today after the show, which is held at the Jacob K. Javits Center in Manhattan. "You could've gone bowling at the show on Friday and not knock anybody down."
Around 40 percent of the company's sales came on the first day of the show, New Year's Day, Lambert said.
"Dealers were on fire Wednesday night and we thought we were going to kill it," he said. "Then they started talking about the storm and everything fizzled."
Saturday was "quite crowded," Lambert said, but there weren't many serious buyers.
"It was difficult to sit people down — there were a lot of tourists," Lambert said. "It was sunny and very cold [the last day of the show], a perfect day to go do a boat show. And circulation wasn't an issue anymore because the snow had been cleared, so the people who showed up were there for a social event and to escape the cold."
Lambert said all four Rec Boat Holdings booths — Four Winns, Glastron, Scarab and Wellcraft — were busy, and comments were positive. "But I didn't feel like people were in a buying mood. We were not far behind where we were last year, but given the traffic we're not where I thought we'd be."
Bentley Collins, sales and marketing vice president for Sabre and Back Cove, said there were a number of people who came to see big boats.
"New York had a lot of people who came expecting to see more large boats, so we were very pleased to have been one of the few displays with a boat over 40 feet [the Sabre 42 Salon Express]," said Collins, who spoke to Trade Only during and after the show. "But the cost of displaying large boats in an indoor space in one of the costliest show environments is unrealistic, so New York has become and will continue to be a show with small to midsize boats."
The show generated several good leads for both brands, Collins said. "There were plenty of attendees who were more small-boat oriented, for sure, so it took a lot of sorting out the wheat from the chaff," he said. "The five-day run was good considering the dates and the snow storm we experienced Friday. … Next year's dates in the third week of January will be better for the show."
The show will be held Jan. 21-25 next year. For the last decade, the dates have fallen right on or around New Years' Day.
Grady-White vice president of marketing Shelley Tubaugh told Trade Only from the show floor that it was "starting to look like a normal Saturday."
"The storm put a damper on things … but we're still optimistic the show will be good, and the interest thing is, leading into the show, [sales] have been even better than last year," Tubaugh said.
"We've made some sales, definitely," Tubaugh added. "The boat show isn't the same kind of sit-down-and-write-a-deal situation it used to be in late 1980s and '90s. But what it is, people start having an interest and are having conversations before the show. They now come to a show to look at models, talk to sales people, and wrap up loose ends a day or two after."
