Improving patient safety and standardizing safety practices are two hugely important but often underappreciated elements of healthcare administration. Good patient safety practices can impact the quality of a patient's experience at a particular facility, but they can also impact staff satisfaction and the financial well-being of the facility. While these roles may not get the public glory they deserve for the service they provide, the earning potential, career stability, and outlook for careers in patient safety make them a must-consider for individuals who are pursuing their masters in healthcare administration.
Patient safety positions influence myriad aspects of patient and staff experience. In addition to improving patient experience, safety management in health care administration is vital to maintaining fiscal solvency. In high-safety risk facilities, such as acute care and nursing homes, keeping focus on safety management can reduce potentially substantial costs related to slips, falls, incorrect medication or dosage, disaster management, and patient transportation.
Individuals who fill these roles are charged with a range of responsibilities, including safety and quality assurance program development, policies and standard compliance, and safety and quality assessment and reporting – all core management practices.
Individuals who work within patient safety are often required to identify, develop, and implement programming initiatives that address safety and quality assurance. These programs may be run in partnership with or under the facility's chief medical officer or other high-ranking medical professional to ensure their effectiveness.
Some of these programs may be targeting patients, and include everything from new physical or operational protocols to awareness campaigns. Other programs target staff members to promote adherence to procedures and protocols related to patient safety. Programs that target staff members may also require a patient safety professional to provide continued coaching, support, and accountability for staff members over time.
Individuals who work with patient safety may also be involved in analyzing, editing where appropriate, and ensuring facility adherence to policies and standards related to patient safety. The national safety policies are typically regulated by the Department of Health and Human Services, however many facilities also follow the suggestions from the National Academy for State Health Policy.
Individuals who work with patient safety are usually required to lead or assist facility assessments related to patient safety and policy adherence. The goal of these assessments is to ensure readiness in times of policy activation and also to ensure consistent application of policies and standards throughout the facility. Reporting on the findings of these assessments may include presentations and development of written reports to facility leadership or lead medical personnel.
An individual who wishes to forge a career path in the realm of patient safety has a considerable number of choices. Some common roles include patient safety manager, specialist, or consultant.
Patient Safety Managers are full-time facility employees who lead teams of individuals focused on various elements of patient safety and quality assurance. While they need to be knowledgeable and proficient in all aspects of patient safety, including policies, reporting, and assessments, the patient safety manager serves as a project facilitator and coordinator, working to support and manage the safety specialists within these areas. A patient safety manager is also responsible for communicating and working across departments and might also be responsible for reporting to boards on facility safety compliance. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, patient safety managers have a faster than average, 22% job outlook through the year 2020.
Patient Safety Specialists focus on a particular aspect of safety and quality assurance, such as program development, compliance, or analysis. They may work under a patient safety manager or directly under the chief medical personnel at the facility. These professionals assist in the development and implementation of patient safety programs. They often collect information, pointing out patient-related errors while recommending changes to policies, or programs that could prevent future miscalculations. Patient Safety Specialists also attend training programs and presentations intended to increase awareness of patient safety initiatives. They often test patient-safety knowledge of employees and recommends improvements to training programs. At CBPPS.org, individuals can become a Certified Professional in Patient Safety. For patient safety specialists, the ability to communicate and build rapport with all kinds of staff at the facility is essential for specialists to perform well.
Patient Safety Consultants are independent professionals who work with different facilities on a temporary or contract basis to help them improve, develop, implement, or train on safety-related concepts. Some contracts may last as little as a week or two or as long as several years. These individuals typically work within large facilities to open new departments or orient a younger staff, or they work with struggling facilities that need help upgrading their safety practices. Some consultants may specialize in a particular aspect of safety or quality assurance, or they may specialize in the management of patient safety teams. Depending on their experience, branding, and ability to negotiate, consultants may be able to command significant fees.
Patient safety is a vital aspect of health care administration that needs vigilant, intelligent, and committed professionals. Earning a master's of health care administration is a great first step to contributing to the policies, procedures, and training that keep our medical facilities safe, healthy, and fun for patients and staff alike. If time and financial investment are concerns, consider enrolling in an online masters program for healthcare administration.
Utica College offers an online Master of Science in Health Care Administration program designed to provide working professionals a virtual and comprehensive education. By focusing on three distinctive areas, acute care, service organizations, and nursing home administration, Utica College prepares students to enter the world of health care administration ready to handle the unique challenges of some of the most in demand roles and types of facilities in our modern medical world.

Before I begin I feel the need to tell you that this review isn't going to be a review of just this issue, but all 5 issues as well. Ever since Deadpool Pulp I decided just to review mini series by posting one review on the last issue that would review the story as a whole. So keep that in mind with this review. I'd also like to state that I love Peter Milligan's writing, he's easily one of my favorite comic book writers behind Joe Kelly and in front of Rick Remender. He has yet to write a sto...

This was a fitting end for a most original and interesting series - the conclusion of the 5 Ronin lies in the hand of a fool, a man betrayed a long time ago by the Daimyo, that now seeks revenge like his other brothers Ronin - the idea of a circle, of the end of a quest is very strong in this series, that in every end there´s a new beginning and that for some there´ll never be peace again or a new road - it was interesting seeing the 5 characters reunited in this issue, proving that Deadpool (as...

RIVERSIDE - It is a top-heavy poll the California Community College Sports Information (CCCSIA) week 10 poll as Cerritos, Sierra, and Santiago Canyon continue to act as the big dogs in the state.
Between the three top teams, there has been a lone tie that lands in Sierra's overall record. No. 4 Lake Tahoe remains in the top-five as they handed Sierra their lone tie of the year. They held an 11-game winning streak up to that point while allowing just one goal to opposing teams. They netted 10 goals in two of those 11 wins.
No. 5 Santa Barbara shot up into the top-five, while No. 6 Fresno City remains in the upper echelon of squads.
No. 18 Canada leaped into the rankings after receiving votes last week, while Cuesta and Golden West share the 10th overall slot.

Why I'm Catholic
Mexico Day 3: San Miguel (St. Michael) de Allende and Atotonilco Sanctuary
by Steve Ray on November 28, 2018
I wish we had Catholic cities like this in the United States. San Miguel de Allende is full of churches and convents and generous kind people. We took an amazing walking tour through the city learning many of the secrets and surprises of the present and the past.
Then we went to the Sanctuary at Atotonilco which is a church that has tens of thousands of Mexicans come for prayer and the Saint Ignatius exercises every year. You won't believe the paintings and the intricate story of the life of Christ on the walls and ceiling's and even a three dimensional Passion.
We had another wonderful Mass here and you can hear/see the excellent homily of Fr. James here. Enjoy!
Bishops Among the Flames in Mexico
Here in Mexico churches have 3 dimensional images of purgatory to scare people to holiness. Nearly every one has a bishop in the flames.
Holding Hands at Mass
My wife Janet and I always cringe at a new parish when it comes time for the Our Father. We quickly bow our heads and close our eyes; I clutch my hands close to my chest (and she does the same) and we start to pray — hoping some aggressive hand-holder doesn't reach over and insist on tearing my hands apart so I can warmly hold theirs during the prayer.
Once, I even had a nun nudge me, see my hesitation and them smiling reach out and taunt me — "Pleeeease?" I conceded out of love and duty and afterwards she smiled knowingly and say, "Thaaaank you!"
Karl Keating has a few things to say about hand-holding at Mass which I produce here for others who close their eyes and clutch their hands close to their chests.
ORIGINS OF HAND-HOLDING
[In a recent] issue of the "Adoremus Bulletin" it says this in response to a query from a priest in the Bronx:
"No gesture for the people during the Lord's Prayer is mentioned in the official documents. The late liturgist Fr. Robert Hovda promoted holding hands during this prayer, a practice he said originated in Alcoholics Anonymous. Some 'charismatic' groups took up the practice."
My long-time sense had been that hand-holding at the Our Father was an intrusion from charismaticism, but I had not been aware of the possible connection with AA. If this is the real origin of the practice, it makes it doubly odd: first, because hand-holding intrudes a false air of chumminess into the Mass (and undercuts the immediately-following sign of peace), and second, because modifications to liturgical rites ought to arise organically and not be borrowed from secular self-help groups.
Periodically, on "Catholic Answers Live" I am asked about hand-holding during Mass and explain that it is contrary to the rubrics. Usually I get follow-up e-mails from people who say, "But it's my favorite part of the Mass" or "We hold hands as a family, and it makes us feel closer."
About the latter I think, "It's good to feel close as a family, but you can hold hands at home or at the mall. The Mass has a formal structure that should be respected. That means you forgo certain things that you might do on the outside."
About the former comment I think, "If this is the high point of the Mass for you, you need to take Remedial Mass 101. The Mass is not a social event. It is the re-presentation of the sacrifice of Calvary, and it is the loftiest form of prayer. It should be attended with appropriate solemnity."

This module addresses the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of understanding children and young people's everyday lives in the context of urban, social, cultural and environmental change. The sub-discipline of Children's Geographies has bought increased academic and policy attention to the importance of understanding children and young people's everyday lives. The module will draw on contemporary research projects, literature and academic and policy debates about the socio-spatial lives of children. Importantly the module will address the diversity of childhood experiences, offering distinctions between and within majority and minority worlds. Thinking geographically about children and young people's use of environment, positionality, culture, participation, agency and citizenship is key to exploring the social constructions of childhood.

For a while now, I've been looking for a good Weight Watchers Pesto Recipe that still had all the flavor, but with less PointsPlus. After playing around with a combination of a few recipes, I finally came up with one that turned out really well, yet didn't sacrifice the pine nuts, the Parmesan or the olive oil….these are 3 staples in a traditional pesto recipe, and I felt that they could not be sacrificed. However, by reducing the amounts of those ingredients, and increasing the amounts of the lower calorie ingredients, I was able to get the end result at just 2 Points for a 1/4 cup serving! Since pesto is pretty powerful, and not much is needed to deliver it's fabulous flavor, I feel that this is seriously a great bargain. Try this recipe yourself, and serve it over chicken, fish, roasted veggies, 0 Calorie Miracle Noodles, or as a dip for some low calorie breadsticks. Ah, the possibilities are endless. If you are a Weight Watcher who loves pesto sauce, this recipe is a must try.
This healthier, low calorie version of a traditional pesto sauce recipe, is a truly a force to be reckoned with. Enjoy all the flavors you love, but with just 2 Points for each 1/4 cup serving. Serve it over chicken, fish, pasta, pizza…whatever your pesto loving heart desires. And indulge, knowing that this easy pesto sauce is guilt free!
Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend to desired consistency. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.
Love!!! Just made.. with a timely tweak.. I had a yellow pepper on its last day… and 1/2 a red onion. I sautéed with some cherry tomatoes (also clinging to life) and put those in the food processor with the garlic and herbs! Omgoodness! The flavor from parsley/basil was outstanding! I didn't miss the extra parm/olive oil at all! New staple!
Thank you thank you thank you! This is so delicious! I was making a high calorie, high points plus pasta salad and with your pesto sauce and a couple other tweaks I was able to make a delicious, 5 point per cup pasta salad. Your recipe is delicious, light, and flavorful. Will be making again and again.
I just ate this and it's SO good! Even better than regular pesto, because it's not oily. I made english muffin pesto pizza with lowfat cheese.
Only thing is, I calculated and got 3, not 2 using the ww recipe builder. Still totally doable, but just wanted to make the correction on the points + value.
How can this be Vegan is there is Parmesan cheese ??
I was searching for vegan ww recipes when I came across this site.
While this does look tasty, Parmesan cheese is NOT vegan.
Thanks for catching that it – my mistake! It should just be categorized as a Vegetarian Weight Watchers Recipe, not Vegan. I've just corrected it.
IT DOES SOUND DELICIOUS BUT WHY ALL THE EXTRA INGREDIENTS ??
I do like the idea of the broth in case the pesto is too thick, instead of using more oil.
Thanks for sharing, Sally! The extra ingredients help increase the quantity and flavor of the sauce, without increasing the Points + value.

Q: What do i need to have or do to install ubuntu on a windows 8 PC? I'm tempted to download and install ubuntu. Can anyone run me through the basic things I need to do or have to succesfully install and run this operating system on my PC?

A: Sometimes installing ubuntu alongside windows 8 can be really painful, (For me the part to get dual boot working was hard) but there are some pretty good step by step tutorials, for example you can find one here:
http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2013/09/install-ubuntu-linux-alongside-windows.html
(If you do not have a DELL hardware you can use other backup tools, like Acronis)

The fact that the company decided to invest in Bulgaria was evidence of the good business climate in the country.

Watching ST from its first series is eminently not recommendable.
Unless you suffer from completionism autism, then you're just never going to watch ST.

If you're talking about the Kirk series then I might watch some of it for nostalgia shot. Some of it.

My family and I get new pajamas every Christmas Eve. Comfy as fuck
The most expensive thing I bought would be my PS3, and even that was bought at a reduced price.
First one was a random gift from my grandmother back when I was collecting vintage stuff. Second one was also a gift but I do know the company it comes from so I'm hazarding around $200-$250 or so.
Did your grandmother give you the taste in food of a 55 year old?
Chrystal is surprisingly cheap in some countries.
My parents keep giving me socks every year, and I keep giving them back because they're always too small for my feet.
So my old man has a bunch of superhero socks he wears to work.
I have a wool coat that was probably $150-$200 new but I picked it up at a thrift shop for literally $4.
That's how I personally shop.

Hi, Irenicus!
Palin:Kick ISIS ass
Palin: Sucking off of them
Palin: Drill baby drill
It's interesting that now in 2016, Palin is obviously re-contextualized in hindsight as proto-Trump.
There was also the obligatory kicking out of somebody who was quitely protesting.
They don't even know that they're a circlejerk circus and it's hilarious
If you want to see a Trump worshipping circlejerk come down to Southeast Texas. It's constant and everywhere.
Well obviously we can fix everyone's problems if we just get rid of all the undesirables and abuse the environment because this earth was made to be our bitch. But only white people's bitch. And also, Jesus.
Trump...
is good
Jesus had olive skin but I guess that's also considered white.
This is a common conversation between my father's side of the family if you replace the word undesirable with Muslims and a variety of racial slurs.
Jesus was brown lol
But then some Spanish aristocrat commissioned a portrait of Jesus that looked suspiciously like his son for political reasons and thus, the cycle began.
But Muslims worship the same god they do just with different principles.
I mean that's only this election cycle. You gotta keep it general so that you can swap it out with "poor people" "black people" "Mexicans" "immigrants", etc and so on as necessary.
How DARE you imply that the CHRISTIAN god would EVER condone things that MUSLIMS do
please do not read about any of the crusades or the holocaust plzkthnx
I followed anime dating advice for haha meme racism meme nazis meme trump and somewhere along the line I've seen the light, Trump is good.
I mean they usually refer to all of them on a regular basis in complaints about the country and long before Trump started running. They actually say much worse shit than he does at times.
Too late, already read about it. The Christians were clearly the aggressors and massacred innocent Jewish people during their journey to Jerusalem.
Goddamn why does my neck hurt
Too late, already read about it. The Christians were clearly the aggressors and massacred innocent Jewish people.
This is slander by the liberal media
...I've never understood what they mean by liberal media.
It means something vaguely and generally along the lines of "anything that presents information I don't like that I will attack on the basis that it is propoganda by people out to change the world in a way I perceive as being counter to my goals of imposing my beliefs and economic assumptions onto others, regardless of truth."
If a form of news media criticizes a conservative politician for any reason they are called liberal media.
So basically news networks not named Fox News.
That explains quite a lot.
Oh, so almost everything.
Well, there's also some conservative radio talkshow hosts.
Like Rush Limbaugh.
Yeah basically anything that suggests that anyone other than White Middle-to-Upper Class Christian Males should be treated as full human beings instead of people who should be prioritized secondly to said White Middle-to-Upper Class Christian Males
And also anyone who suggests that long term environmental implications should be considered more prominently than something that will make or save millions to billions of dollars.

Let the kitty inside it's raining out there
Awh, let him in!
The one thing people around here agree with Democrats on is global warming. Mainly because the neaby beach gets visibly smaller every year and the road near it will be swallowed by the Gulf by the end of the decade.
That sounds terrifying.
Well you know what they say
Why prevent something when it's cheaper to let another generation pay for curing it.
Yeah but the economics of global warming are most likely that it actually is, in sum, cheaper to deal with it later and not now.
I think you are conflating "cheaper" with "more profitable"
No? What I'm doing is conflating cheaper on a global sum with cheaper for specific people - which is different!
You're right, I've now seen the error of my ways
Like, put it this way: odds are, depending on your assumptions about future growth, it is going to be more efficient for people impacted by global warming to deal with it then, 30 years down the road when they have money, then to try and stop it in its tracks now while they don't. Plus, we're going to end up picking that path by default because most of the change is locked in.
Most of the cost of dealing with global warming issues is infrastructure change, and considering that the countries being most obstinate about this (see: USA) need infrastructure reinforcement and renovations anyway, it's really not necessarily costlier to change over the systems than it is to just do the infrastructure work needed anyway. Except the reason the infrastructure work needs so extensively helped is because they've been shoving off the problem for a later date for a long time instead of paying for it as necessary. So it's really the same reluctance to deal with a thing, that relies on the assumption of availability of funds that may or may not actually be available at a future date.
And also, it depends on how much you think quality of overall life on the planet, human and otherwise, should be dependent on financial cost.
I mean that is actually a point. Since most people don't live near beaches about to be engulfed within the next few years. I don't by the way, just around 30-45 minutes from one. Though the local businesses in that particular county will be utterly fucked.
Though honestly it's a pretty shitty beach anyway and not as popular as it used to be.
It's actually still recovering from Ike and if we ever get hit by another large hurricane like that I doubt much of it will get rebuilt.

Family values!
Look at that smile!
a genie appears and offers you the chance to live 500 more years. the twist is the 500 years are 500 more years of the exact same life you have right now. so like the same job, same financial situation, same everything. you can't experience new technology or anything like that. or do any cool things long lived people could do like travel the world or whatever. unless you are travelling the world right now. you literally have to live your current life for 500 more years.
and if you don't accept his offer.... you die right now
do you accept his offer.....
Genie can smd imo
As I recall one of her daughters also had one or two children out of wedlock despite going to give speeches on how awful it is. The daughter giving speeches that is.

Yeah she was an unwed teenage mother, then raked in huge sums of $$$$ on speaking fees and appearance fees for abstinence-only education promotion/ abstinence ambassador, and then she was engaged to a guy earlier this year and called off the wedding like the week before. But then oops she was totally knocked up by that point and had the baby in December.
You know. Because "close enough" is the new "married".
The Palin family is awful in general, yes.

Dat pun
To think what a better place the galaxy would have become.
That's what drew me to him originally. He's like a successful Palin. The establishment always hated her too.
Did you see her endorsement at the rally?
No but it was literally the perfect move.
It won't bring in any fresh blood but it'll energize the votes he already has when he needs to surge in Iowa. It'll help protect him from Cruz's attacks on his standing too.
Even I was starting to waver between Trump and Cruz but today I've just been imagining Palin as VP.
I could definitely see her resemblance to Trump today. I'm too young to really remember how she was in 2008 though.
She wasn't THAT similar to Trump; it was the reaction he evoked in her opponents that was similar. She was actually conservative with a streak of radical moderation while Trump is full on muscular nationalism. Unlike Trump she managed to go in alone into the Alaskan political establishment which was corrupt from all sides, and beat it and clean it up without any backing. The problem is later on they managed to bleed her dry financially and she had to bow out.
But Trump is too rich for that. They can't touch him.
No, she was, that's why it was interesting. She hit on the cultural half of Trumpism but didn't really complete the particular brand of nationalism or the economic position, and she didn't have the freedom of action to follow through.
Palin was way less crazy in 2008 than she is today. Half the time these days you have to wonder if she's speaking drunk, but back in 2008 she actually had kind of a quaint charm to her that even if you don't agree with her politics, she at least came across as some kind of relative politician. Over the years, lots of conservative pundits that used to grovel at her feet have seriously distanced themselves as she's just become more and more over-the-top looney tunes.
Well, there's also the identity difference. Trump happens to bring a lot to the table, but he's not the kind of guy you'd normally profile as a conservative.
Palin, on the other hand, is basically the physical incarnation of conservatism. Lives off in the wilderness, rugged individualism, Christian family values, frugal, consistent and pure principles, humble background, pulled herself up by her bootstraps, actually went into corrupt political establishment and beat it, had the feminist ideal of "having it all" with a family and a high level career, was charming, etc. She actually lives the values, it's not just a theory.
If you were just looking at their biographies you'd never expect them to be similar at all.
But that's why this endorsement is great; someone like Palin who has the perfect standing to look at someone and say whether they're good enough for them, goes a long way towards assuaging fears about Trump being too liberal or not trustworthy enough, when Cruz is hitting him for those exact points.
That said I'm still not exactly sure how much of his positions he'll follow through on, since unlike Palin he tends to be all over the place. But if you go look at his history, he has the same common themes he's been pushing all the way back into the 80s.
It felt like she was attempting to channel Trump's bombasticness in the endorsement.
what the fuck happened in this thread while I was sleeping
You'll have to be more specific than that.
I mean, I thought this site belongs to midle-aged childless men who masturbate to anime.
yeah so whats wrong
well actual politics discussion and stuff
You know today on 538 they profiled palin and trump's conservatism, and found them to be less then 1 point different on a 200 point scale.
Yes, but Nate Silver doesn't know shit.
Yeah he does.
Don't worry, there was still plenty of shittimothy posting
More to the point, nobody should give a shit what Nate Silver thinks is conservative.
Except for people who want an idea of who is conservative, I guess.
i wish i could average other people's polls for a job
If you could do it as good as he could, you probably can.
The fact that he wants to say Palin and Trump are the same is perfectly good evidence he doesn't have a very good grasp on this himself, unless his idea of what a political ideology is is one's answer to a series of policy questions (which it probably is).
Actually it's a measure of different things supported. See it's easy to talk the talk, but it's where you actually leverage political power that really shows your positions. Palin has not been on the same page when it comes to several issues, such as abortion rights, feminization efforts, and some assorted tax policy, so scores about halfway up the list. Beats bush and I think kasich, ties trump, and much lower then Cruz.

i dont get it howd that become 1 points difference then
Probably because Trump doesn't actually act on a lot of his own "views". Like, there's some quote he made back in the 80's or something that he's talking about if he ever ran he would run conservative because it's a voter block that's very easy to manipulate.
Obviously because trump himself has not always toed conservative orthodoxy. He has lurched rightward in recent months of course, but he still has a number of inconsistent policy positions which prevent him from a deep score on the scales. It just so happens that the two, when compared across a range of benchmarks, fall into remarkably similar catagories.

What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy, and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence? -- even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, a speck of dust!"
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: "You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine." If this thought gained possession of you, it would change you as you are or perhaps crush you. The question in each and every thing, "Do you desire this once more and innumerable times more?" would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight. Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?
aw man, I was gonna post that bit
I was moderately worried that you would have when I first saw it.
Nietzsche quote on eternal recurrence (I think)
put me down for 500 more years
what if 'fain, it were that you had most heavily imbibed of the waters of fire, or mayhap, it might be'th instead, that you had partook of the devil's weed, and with its sustenance soar with the eagles amongst the clouds. Or lo, could it even be that you hadst found yourself gazing upon a circle of silver, with but you yourself looking back at you? And upon that mirror, fair snowy white had whispered invitingly, and with nose questing ever outward and hungrily like the starving wolf 'pon the hunt, had voraciously inhaled every last speck? or to puteth that another way...
what are you on dude(ett)?
"No matter what you do, I will be proud of you. Even if you receive a liberal arts degree. It's baby time, it's babytime."
I'm loving this parody.

It was -3'C here earlier.
Pretty refreshing.
In celcius its like -21
Two episodes have been.
It snowed here today. Enough to be pretty and a mild nuisance since we don't know how to do snow here. I'd take a picture but I do not feel well and my dog is sick again. I had to play vigilant mother of baby for two hours and could not go back to sleep it's icky.
Kids are out playing in the street enjoying the snow day lol
My sister apparently slid off the road and got stuck in her neighbor's lawn in Knoxville :S

Nah, watch Space Dandy instead. Much better.

It's one thing to think Dandy is better, but I think I remember you actually saying Bebop is shit, which along with a variety of other opinions just makes me want to burn Somerset to the ground

I like Dandy. My joking destruction of Skull's prefecture stems from many sources
Hmm, I had to post a single Astley video
Meh, "Tank" is okay. But Dandy's is just better.

I can sing the Dandy op. I mean I can try singing an instrumental too but it's just not the same.

Although I don't think China was under a single Emperor at the time so I'm just going under the assumption tthat Disney didn't particulaly care since the overwhelming majrity of people watching it probably wouldn't know or give a shit.

Unforgettable: Season Four; Cancelled Series Saved by A&E
by Trevor Kimball, February 6, 2015
Unforgettable seems to be one of those shows that just won't stay cancelled. Deadline is reporting that A&E is finalizing a deal to save the twice-cancelled series from the grim reaper with a fourth season of 13 episodes.
The series was cancelled (for the second time) the series quite awhile ago but Sony has been working to find a new home for the crime drama.
The contracts with the cast have all expired but at least Poppy Montgomery and Dylan Walsh are expected to be back. No word yet on the other castmembers. Series creators John Bellucci and Ed Redlich (as executive producers) will return along with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly.
Unforgettable did skew older on CBS so the pick-up by A&E does seems like a bit of a surprise since they cancelled Longmire for attracting an older audience. The difference between the two is said to be the licensing fees.
Both are produced by outside studios. Longmire was quite expensive for the cable channel (they supposedly lost money on the deal) while Unforgettable is not. The latter does quite well internationally which has allowed Sony to keep the fees down and profitable.
Sony has a history of fighting to keep cancelled shows alive and has found new homes for Community, Damages, and Drop Dead Diva.
No word on when the fourth season of Unforgettable will be produced but an official announcement is expected once the deal is sealed.
What do you think? Are you glad that Unforgettable is being revived again? Will you be watching season four?

Really good show. Hope this all works out.
Thanks A&E for giving us another season of Unforgettable. sure wish you'd reconsider Longmire, tho. I'm not giving up on CBS. I love 5 of their shows. I watch these channels:
ION, ABC, FOX, CBS, A&E, TNT, USA, ABC FAMILY, & believe it or not I also like to watch DISNEY & BOOM!
A&E dumped Longmire, they are NOT in the picture for it any longer. Netlix has picked Longmire up for new season. That said, I am glad A&E picked up Unforgettable, one of my fave shows. The only CBS show I watch is Blue Bloods. If they dump that, there will no longer be a reason for me to watch CBS. Unforgettable is the only show I will be watching on A&E.
I wish they didn't cancelled the shows and bring back some of them
Unforgettable is uncancelable BAM? We are back baby. Screw you CBS LOL
This show is quite forgetable. The third cancellation will likely be its last at the end of season 4.
Why watch don't watch then but stay out of the way of us true fans.
I love Unforgettable! Thank you A&G for sharing another great program for your views.
Maureens_TV
We will watch maybe but I can think of much better shows that have needed saving
I love thar series
Thanks for saving Unforgettable it's one of my favorite shows. To bad you didn't keep Longmere,I love that show.
Ron Mulliner
great series,keep it alive
Dale Rogers
Three cheers for A&E. This show is much more relaxing than the other police shows. Very well done. Happy it is back and we will be watching!
HOPE YOU SEE THIS CBS. SOME FIRING NEEDS TO BE DONE AT CBS. WHOEVER'S IN CHARGE IS REALLY MESSING UP CBS CANCELING THE GOOD SHOWS.
Thank you A&E. I love the show so much.Glad you picked it up.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING UP UNFORGETTABLE. YOU MAY BE THE BEST NETWORK NOW. CBS HAS WENT TO THE TOILET AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.
Excellent series that treats the audience with intelligence. Carrie has a real life condition of the mind that only less than half a dozen people have in the US. Makes for interesting drama and the first year rocked – the man in the woods – and the dark nature of her slain sister – brought Carrie to a place where she would learn to use her talent to help others. Not made up monsters – but real life and fascinating. Loved music as well – especially Love Song in "Lost Things" episode. Go Poppy – We will all love seeing… Read more »
Love Unforgettable and Poppy! Writing should showcase her memory abilities more like in the first season.


After just glancing through my past blog post titles of the last few weeks it's easy to think it's all doom and gloom. Obviously that's not always the case, even though it's much easier to remember the bad parts over the good. It's just been hard to regain the positivity I left my last exam back in May with. That feeling that anything was indeed possible. It happens to everyone and I know it's just life.
When I set out to write I rarely ever have an agenda, usually I just write about anything that springs to mind. Sometimes, I do have a certain issue I want to address or an idea that I want to write about and discuss. And although I don't want my blog to be all roses and sunshine (because that's not reality and that's not life), I also don't want my blog to turn into a bunch of negative posts. Because let's face it who wants to read that.
But from now on I am going to be writing more posts on how I stay positive, and the tools that help me. Some of them are pretty typical, but you never know, I may do something that you like the sound of and want to try.
So, this is a just a very short post about what I have noticed and what's to come! Sorry I can't stop I need to get going, get driving and go and pick up my friend for our mini 24 hour trip. There will probably be pictures when I get back.

Granger causal analysis has been an important tool for causal analysis for time series in various fields, including neuroscience and economics, and recently it has been extended to include instantaneous effects between the time series to explain the contemporaneous dependence in the residuals. In this paper, we assume that the time series at the true causal frequency follow the vector autoregressive model. We show that when the data resolution becomes lower due to subsampling, neither the original Granger causal analysis nor the extended one is able to discover the underlying causal relations. We then aim to answer the following question: can we estimate the temporal causal relations at the right causal frequency from the subsampled data? Traditionally this suffers from the identifiability problems: under the Gaussianity assumption of the data, the solutions are generally not unique. We prove that, however, if the noise terms are non-Gaussian, the underlying model for the high frequency data is identifiable from subsampled data under mild conditions. We then propose an Expectation-Maximization (EM) approach and a variational inference approach to recover temporal causal relations from such subsampled data. Experimental results on both simulated and real data are reported to illustrate the performance of the proposed approaches.

Experts agree: Facebook and jealousy go hand in hand
by April Lamb April 21, 2012 September 4, 2020
The green-eyed monster sent you a friend request
"Nothing is official until it's Facebook official."
How many times have you heard that and scoffed at the idea? Or maybe this is something you truly believe. Unfortunately Facebook doesn't just magically make things official. It's merely a website existing on the Internet. It's hardly even a tangible thing.
The social networking site updated its fan page's status on Feb. 4, announcing its eighth birthday. The population of Facebook is already almost triple the population of the United States. According to Gregory Lyons, a senior analyst at iCrossing, a digital marketing agency, Facebook will reach the one-billion user mark by August later this year.
Simply put: Facebook is huge. It's an uncontestable fact – even your mom is on it.
Many people find themselves constantly checking Facebook. Seeing what their friends are doing, what their significant other is doing, what their ex-significant other may be doing.
Who is your ex in a relationship with now? Do you think they like their new girlfriend better than they liked you?
Who is that girl commenting on your boyfriend's wall? She looks like a floozy. Why is she talking to him? What is he doing?
Effect on relationshipsA study published this past November in the psychological journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking suggests that a high amount of Facebook usage is more likely to interrupt a person's daily tasks, and negatively influence relationship outcomes such as jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Facebook has changed the way we do relationships
A study published this past November in the psychological journal, Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking looked at 342 Australian undergraduate students and their Facebook usage.
The study suggests that a high amount of Facebook usage is more likely to interrupt a person's daily tasks, and negatively influence relationship outcomes such as jealousy and dissatisfaction.
The study goes on to suggest as well that Facebook may aggravate an already jealous lover and that that attachment anxiety also has strong links to romantic jealousy.
Michael Haggstrom, a Calgarian psychotherapist, also suggests that Facebook's effects depend on the individuals' assurance in themselves, and their social interactions.
Haggstrom says: "People go and check things online either because they were cheated on before and they're insecure about it, or because they're not sure about the relationship. Often their intuition does serve them well and can be right, at least about something."
Facebook allows for instant gratification, which may contribute to thoughts of cheating, Haggstrom suggests. He says you can always find someone on the Internet to listen to you.
"It's easy to listen online when you don't have to pay bills, talk about difficult things, or take out the trash together. It's so easy to believe that the grass is greener on the other side and then become resentful of what you have creating a false reality of what you think you have online."
"Cheating is so easy nowadays, so I think it's normal that all of us are going to have a little more sense of a threat response happening," Haggstrom says.
"We feel like we need to protect our relationship because infidelity happens much easier today."
Are they cheating?
Haggstrom says that if you can see members of the opposite sex openly posting on your significant other's Facebook wall or commenting on their pictures, it's highly unlikely that they're actually cheating with these people, if at all.
He warns instead that those who actually cheat are much more savvy suggesting that: "Cheaters like to keep things hidden and secret. There's an enjoyment behind getting away with something.
"Those people know how to look squeaky clean on the outside. They are the ones where you may never know."
Facebook, Haggstrom suggests, forces people to look at things more honestly and openly. Before things could happen more secretly, but now everything is public.
In order to keep a relationship running smoothly, Haggstrom says transparency is key: "If an old girlfriend is texting or emailing you or whatever, trying to get in contact with you, talk to your partner about it rather than letting her or him find out about it. It's always better to be up front about it."
If a couple is in a serious committed relationship, or a marriage, Haggstrom also suggests sharing passwords with each other to promote transparency in the relationship.
What is Facebook for?
Haggstrom says that many people use Facebook to create stories. "We get quite bored," he says. "So we go, 'Hey I'll stalk my old girlfriend or boyfriend,' and 'Ooh I can't believe it,' we just like to be in stories and drama, it's a part of our life."
At the end of the day, Facebook is a social networking tool, and Haggstrom suggests that we must use it as such, "I encourage people to be selfish when you're on there."
"Know why you're doing it and what you're doing it for," he says. "Know which people you're not going to engage with and which ones you aren't, and how much you're going to attribute time to it, and try and stick to it. You still have the rest of your life still to live, so use it."

SS-EN-ISO-16000-1 | Indoor air - Part 1; General aspects of sampling strategy (ISO 16000-1:2004) | Document Center, Inc.
This part of ISO 16000 is intended to aid the planning of indoor pollution monitoring. Before a sampling strategy is devised for indoor air monitoring, it is necessary to clarify for what purposes, when, where, how often and over what periods of time monitoring is to be performed. The answers to these questions depend, in particular, on a number of special characteristics of the indoor environments, on the objective of the measurement and, finally, on the environment to be measured. This part of ISO 16000 deals with the significance of these factors and offers suggestions on how to develop a suitable sampling strategy. This part of ISO 16000 is applicable to indoor environments such as dwellings with living rooms, bedrooms, do-it-yourself rooms, recreation rooms and cellars, kitchens and bathrooms; workrooms or work places in buildings which are not subject to health and safety inspections in regard to air pollutants (for example, offices, sales premises); public buildings (for example hospitals, schools, kindergartens, sports halls, libraries, restaurants and bars, theatres, cinemas and other function rooms), and also cabins of vehicles. NOTE In some countries, workplaces such as offices and sales premises are subject to health and safety inspections with regard to air pollutants.


After several members of his Council of Ministers took part in the noisy anti-Telangana protests during presentation of the interim rail budget in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said his heart bled over such disruptions in parliamentary proceedings.
But Union Minister for Human Resource Development M Pallam Raju said that the prime minister's comment was not fair as the current Lok Sabha had witnessed disruptions on other issues in the past.
"My heart bleeds to see what is happening in the House," Prime Minister told journalists soon after noisy protests against the move to create Telangana from Andhra Pradesh marred the presentation of the budget in the Lok Sabha.
Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge had to cut short his speech due to ruckus created by MPs who are against creation of Telangana.
"It is sad for democracy that such things are happening even after all appeals for calm," said the Prime Minister.
Union ministers K S Rao, K Chiranjeevi, D Purandeshwari and K Suryaprakash Reddy also marched into the well of the House to join the MPs protesting against Telangana. Raju and another minister Kruparani Killi too rose from their seats as mark of solidarity with the protesting MPs, although they did not go to the well of the House.
"I do not think the comment is fair just to isolate what is happening today. It has been happening in the House. Certainly, I think there has been a failing somewhere," said Raju, reacting to the prime minister's comment. "It is not just today. It happened in the 15th Lok Sabha and it has happened on multiple issues," he added.
The HRD minister said that the move for bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh was "absolute injustice" and it should not succeed. He justified the uproar created by the anti-Telangana Congress MPs and ministers, saying that it was expected that they would put up a "final battle" in the House against the proposed division of Andhra Pradesh.
Raju said that some issues had not been dealt with in a proper manner. "And, therefore that public pressure translates on to the elected representatives and it is expected of us to put up a final battle in the House," said the minister, who himself is elected from Seemandhra region of Andhra Pradesh and is known to be opposed to the move to create Telangana. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath also express dismay at the way the business of the House was conducted.
"It is very unfortunate. The obstruction and creating disturbances and all kinds of unruly scenes are creating very bad precedents," Nath told journalists.

Staged videos showing 'Russian bombardments' in Syria made by militants: Russian MoD
2016-12-13 - Updated on 2016-12-21
in Syria
(TASS) Staged videos showing "Russia's bombardments" in Syria as well as other videos of this kind were made by the militant film crews, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said on Tuesday.
"All the 'movies' showing alleged 'Russian bombardments' and other staged videos were made by special shooting teams formed by militants," he said.
"The question remains why some media were so eager to use them without checking. We have advice for them: don't ever fall for terrorists' propaganda," Konashenkov added.
No "opposition" found in Aleppo
No human rights activists, representatives of the "opposition" or non-governmental humanitarian organizations have been found in eastern Aleppo, Konashenkov said.
"No representatives of the 'opposition,' the 'local councils' or non-governmental humanitarian organizations professing 'Western values' London and other capitals like so much, such as the White Helmets, the association of physicians or rights activists have been found in eastern Aleppo," he said.
"According to civilians, there was only hunger and indiscriminate terror by militants for any attempts to express dissatisfaction or leave the enclave," he added.
Konashenkov also said that Western countries and international humanitarian organizations have not provided the promised humanitarian assistance to those civilians who managed to get out of Aleppo.
"All of our requests addressed to the Western counterparts and international organizations for dispatching promised humanitarian aid to those civilians who managed to flee the terrorist enclave in Aleppo have remained unanswered," he said.
According to Konashenkov, instead of providing aid, the Western countries either keep silent or point to security threats facing humanitarian aid convoys. "Although no one in London, Paris, Berlin and Washington was concerned about any threats when sending aid to the terrorists-held districts of eastern Aleppo," he added.

Terrorists in Aleppo held more than 100,000 civilians hostage as a human shield and all those people left for the Syrian government-controlled areas as soon as the opportunity offered itself, according to Konashenkov.
"The Syrian army's operation to retake Aleppo's eastern districts, successful and in every sense humane towards the civilians, has demonstrated a number of important things," Konashenkov said.
"In the eastern districts the terrorists held hostage more than 100,000 civilians as a human shield. At the very first opportunity they left that enclave and moved to the Syrian government-controlled districts for safety, real aid and food," Konashenkov said.
Terrorists turned all of Aleppo's schools and hospitals into ammunition depots or missile-making workshops, according to Konashenkov.
"The inspections carried out by Russian mine clearance specialists from the International Anti-Mine Center in the eastern outskirts of Aleppo did not reveal a single school or hospital, which had been functioning for the true purposes they were built under the terrorists. All of them were used as headquarters, Sharia courts, terrorist rallying points, ammunition depots and underground production centers for manufacturing homemade rockets," he said.
Over the past 24 hours, the Syrian troops have recaptured another 11 Aleppo's neighborhoods from militants. The Syrian government now controls more than 98% of the city.
About 110,000 civilians, including 44,367 children, have been able to leave the eastern part of Aleppo since the beginning of the operation to liberate the city.
More than 7,000 residents returned to their homes from the city's western districts.

THE DIXIE HERITAGE HOUR – JUNE 28, 2019 - @ Antietam
In this week's TBR Radio Presents: The Dixie Heritage Hour, Dr. Ed shares the video of the lecture that he gave on the Antietam battlefield during a nationally-advertised event sponsored jointly by The Barnes Review and The Citizen's Informer.
Dr. DeVries, using the Hebrew and Greek words translated as "nation" in the Old and New Testaments, explains the difference between a "nation" and a "state." While most people use these terms interchangeably, they are in fact, two totally different and distinct things.
When you understand the difference between a "nation" and a "state" you will understand why the emerging American nation shook off the British government in 1776 and why the emerging Southern nation seceeded from the "Union" in 1861.
Robert E. Lee, if he were to be defined in modern terms, would be declared to be a "nationalist."
"Nationalism" is HATED by the governments of the world because history teaches that governments or "states" come and go but "nations" endure. Therefore, if the "State" wants to survive, it must destroy its underlying "nation."
Dr. DeVries' lecture puts the modern day political struggle into very clear perspective.
The lecture was about 30 minutes. So after the lecture Dr. Ed shares videos that the parents of Leavenworth 10 inmate John Hatley's parents had shot with their iPhones and texted to Dr. Ed for broadcast on a TBR Radio show.
The show concludes with a 12 minute conversation with Dr. Matthew Johnson. Dr. Matt and Dr. Ed discuss the academic paper, "The State is the Natural Enemy of the ETHNOS," by Dr. Johnson. The paper and its discussion are a very appropriate accompaniment to Dr. Ed's lecture.
THE DIXIE HERITAGE HOUR – JUNE 21, 2019 - Keri Ross
Dr. Ed talks to Keri Ross, author of the newly published book Fifty and Failing Fabulously and fiancé to 1st Sergeant John E. Hatley of the Leavenworth 10 fame.
After a brief discussion of the book, Dr. Ed asks Keri about her boyfriend and she both tells his story and, more importantly, how we can advocate for an American hero falsely accused and imprisoned on American soil.
Because when you enlist to serve your country, the real danger is not from a foreign adversary, but from ambitious officers conniving for stars on their collars.
Do you remember the news reports of the supposed "canal killings" back in 2009. The United States Army effectively created a depiction of 1SG Hatley as a cold-blooded killer who executed four Iraqis. Because of it, he has been in prison for ten long years. But the Army has also told this supposed "cold-blooded killer" that he can go home tomorrow if he will just confess to the crime.
But Hatley won't admit guilt because he is innocent!
Keri tells us how there were no bodies found, no names of victims or their families, and absolutely no physical or forensic evidence. A seven-man dive team searched the canal where the bodies were supposedly dumped and found nothing. No bullets or casings were found in the area, which is in itself weird because this had been the site of intensive fighting.
Criminal Investigation Division (CID) was taken to the house where the nameless insurgents allegedly killed by Hatley were reported to have lived. The people there said no one was missing or dead in their families. But again, their names were not obtained. Neighbors in the area were also questioned and they too said no one was missing or dead. The farmer who owned the land of the supposed killings said he knew of no one being killed.
At trial there were major discrepancies of testimony with some "eye-witnesses" (also ambitious soldiers) claiming there were four victims, others claiming five. None of the "witnesses" nor CID knew what happened to the fifth man. Testimony was inconsistent and contradictory.
The charges themselves were not filed until ten months after the event when a sergeant under Hatley's command was up on charges by Hatley for two instances of striking an NCO, and one count of threatening an officer with great bodily harm. He offered CID info on a "homicide" if they would grant him immunity. Immunity was not granted, but his attorney had already given CID the file. All men in the patrol were interrogated intensely with some being threatened with life in prison. All of them but John Hatley took plea deals rather than risk "life in prison." The threats were probably similar to what Lieutenant General Michael Flynn was subjected to by the FBI in the whole Russian collusion caper.
John E. Hatley was convicted by the United States Army solely on the basis of coerced testimony. One witness said when he shot a man in the back of the head, he fell back against his leg. That's highly unlikely if not impossible, because when people are shot, their body normally goes in the direction of the bullet.
Again, there were no bodies, no names, no physical or forensic evidence—only the testimony of men with something to gain. If they testified as they were told by Army lawyers, they would receive a much better deal.
Oh and hey… Army brass had something to gain also. By convicting someone (anyone) for murdering innocent civilians, they could help to make amends for other Army wartime atrocities. Anyone remember Abu Ghraib military prison where people were being subjected to torture and humiliation for the entertainment of sadistic officers?
This is just another case of someone railroaded right into a military penitentiary, not based on any evidence, but based on the ambition of politically correct officers and their Congressional overseers.
We found out a long time ago, the military doesn't need evidence to convict someone. In the civilian world a district attorney can indict a ham sandwich. Because of the closed military structure, that same "ham sandwich" is not only indicted but convicted as well. It's heinously disgraceful how our military can manipulate their judicial system to protect the organization itself, and senior military officers from any scrutiny or accountability.
Such is the John Hatley story, the object of much of this week's broadcast.
THE DIXIE HERITAGE HOUR – JUNE 14, 2019 - Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson
Dr. Ed calls Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson. Dr. Johnson was the guest for TBR Radio's highest rated, most listened to show of 2018.
Dr. Johnson is a Russian Orthodox Priest, college professor, and one of the United States' foremost experts on Russia. He tells Dr. Ed about his new book, The Soviet Experiment, recently published by TBR Press. They also discuss the recent summit between Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung Un (BIG NEWS that is NOT being reported by any mainstream news sources).
Additional discussion focuses on Joe Biden's less than honest dealings in the Ukraine andhow that news might effect the 2020 Democrat Primary.
The conversation ends with a discussion of "Russian collusion." But rather than repeat all the hubabaloo from the mainstream media, Dr. Johnson tells us what we should be talking about regarding Russia and collusion. For example, back in the 90's the United States did not just "meddle" or "interfere" or attempt to "influence" the Russian election of Boris Yeltsin, the United States outright rigged the Russian election for Yeltsin (who had a 5% approval rating among the Russian people) and even bragged about it in Time Magazine.
The show begins with a musical performance by the Russian National Children's Choir and ends with a rare performance of the old Soviet national anthem in English.
THE DIXIE HERITAGE HOUR – JUNE 7, 2019 - 2nd interview w/ Lady Michelle Renouf
Dr. Ed interviews London socialite Lady Michelle Renouf.
Born in Australia, at 22, Michele Mainwaring was a beauty queen with several titles.
In 1970 she married Daniel Ivan-Zadeh, a descendant of Russian nobility whose family had fled from the collapsing Russian Empire during the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, changing their surname on arrival in Persia. Upon marrying Daniel she was given the title Countess of Griaznoff.
In 1990 the then 44-year-old Countess married 72-year-old Sir Frank Renouf and was given the title of "Lady Michelle" by Queen Elizabeth. Sir Frank was an international financier who, among other things, oversaw the reinstallation of Germany into the Rothschild banking system. Through him, lady Michelle gained the inside knowledge of the banking systems and knows first hand the damage they have wrought throughout the world.
Sir Frank and Lady Michelle resided in the Eaton Square home of the former Prime Minister to England, Sir Neville Chamberlain, who had preceded Winston Churchill.
Sir Frank died in 1998 and Lady Michelle dated world-famous actor Omar Sharif, best known for performance in the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia.
Famous in Britain, Germany and Australia, Lady Michelle has worked for decades as a model in print ads and commercials. She is often cast as a well-to-do woman of a certain age in British TV.
Lady Michelle travels Europe and the globe as an advocate for a number of political causes including BREXIT.
She has also moved to the other side of the camera, launching an independent film company, producing documentary films.
In this week's conversation, Lady Michelle talks about the psychology of advertising and specifically about how that psychology is manipulated in political campaigns, the importance of preserving our heritage, why she is no longer afraid to discuss "race," specific questions that have resulted in historians and academics being jailed throughout Europe, how the attorneys are being punished and jailed if they dare to provide their clients in these trials with a real and actual defense, why "the truth" is no longer accepted as a proper defense in European courts, Nigel Farage and her hopes for Brexit, the specific reasons why the late Colonel Muammar Quadaffi was murdered, exactly what the New World Order is and how it works, more specifics on the evils of the banking system, her thoughts on Donald Trump and Queen Elizabeth, her friendship with the late Joseph Sobran, and a number of other topics.
Launched in January of 2018 as The Dixie Heritage Hour and reformatted in January 2020 as the half-hour Dixie Heritage Show, Dr. Ed's weekly podcasts are usually pre-recoded. Shows are broadcast nationally on TBR Radio, and globally on You-Tube.
Each week Dr. Ed interviews someone interesting. The list of guests have included US Congressmen; gubernatorial, congressional, and presidential candidates; world-renowned journalists, college professors, authors, movie stars, TV stars, even a former NFL superstar.
