		<description><![CDATA[Although I no longer work in law enforcement, I am still fascinated with the profession. For this reason, I recently signed up for our sheriff’s citizen’s academy here in Maury County. When I applied to attend, I only viewed it as a networking opportunity and a means of learning more about the community, and to be perfectly honest, I expected to be somewhat bored. Now, after week two, I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. During the first meeting, our class of around twenty Maury County residents, got to meet our sheriff and some of the department’s command staff, as well as each other. A meal, snacks, and refreshments were provided as we were introduced to our county law enforcement and given an introduction to the following weeks. I must say, I have never felt so welcome. Last night was the second meeting of the citizen’s academy. There was an FBI agent present who discussed federal law enforcement duties, gave examples of real life stories, and answered all of our questions. In my past experience, law enforcement agencies have seemed fragmented, with the right hand not knowing what the left would be doing at any given time. A close and cooperative working relationship was obvious between this federal officer and our Sheriff. The remainder of the night, we were given an overview of our county jail operations. In addition to a tour of the correctional facility next week, I am eagerly anticipating the remaining ten weeks as we learn....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re concerned about the ethics of livestock production but don&#8217;t want to become a vegetarian, consider this: It may be possible to grow meat in a petri dish. Dr. Mark Post, professor of vascular physiology at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands, is working on creating meat from bovine stem cells. And he&#8217;s planning to unveil a burger created this way in October, he said Sunday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Vancouver. Croplands and pastures occupy about 35% of the planet&#8217;s ice-free land surface, according to a 2007 study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. &#8220;Meat consumption is going to double in the next 40 years or so, so we need to come up with alternatives to solve the land issue,&#8221; Post said. http://lightyears.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/20/one-stem-cell-burger-330000/?hpt=he_c2]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(CNN) &#8212; Whenever Felicia Hudson gets overwhelmed juggling a full-time job and caring for her ailing father, she finds solace in a piece of paper hanging in her office. &#8220;Circumstances do not cause anger, nervousness, worry or depression &#8230; it is how we handle situations that allow these adverse moods,&#8221; it says. &#8220;We actually choose our own attitudes. I choose to be calm, well-adjusted and happy!&#8221; She can&#8217;t remember where she found the motto, but focusing on it is one of several coping mechanisms Hudson has developed since she took her father out of a nursing home in July 2008 and moved him into her two-bedroom apartment in San Diego. By then, Alvin Hudson had suffered three strokes and been diagnosed with diabetes, kidney failure and renal disease, requiring a long list of medication and dialysis three times a week. It was only a matter of days before Hudson became overwhelmed, she says. &#8220;It was like, &#8216;oh my, what did I get myself into?&#8217;&#8221; the 51-year-old Georgia native recalls. &#8220;Sometimes, I would just go into the bathroom and cry.&#8221; She laughs about it now, but in the beginning, &#8220;it was horrible,&#8221; she says. She&#8217;d go to her job at a manufacturing plant at 8 a.m., leaving at lunch three times a week to bring her father to a dialysis center. She&#8217;d return to work and stay late to make up the time, and then go back to the center to pick him up. Those were just the normal days. If....]]></description>
