David Burke HEALTH & SAFETY Three tips to make your hospital stay safer(BPT) - If you're facing a hospitalization - either planned or unexpected - you can take steps to help your caregivers ensure your safety. Just 50 years ago, about one in every 1,500 procedures resulted in an anesthesia-related fatality. Now, such incidents occur in less than one in every 200,000 procedures when an anesthesiologist administers or supervises the patient's anesthesia care, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Still fear of undergoing anesthesia remains a common concern for hospitalized patients. You can mitigate that concern by learning all you can about the team of professionals that will oversee your anesthesia care. Anesthesiologists, medical doctors who specialize in the field of anesthesiology, undergo more than eight years of advanced medical training, preparing them to make split-second decisions to safeguard your health before, during and after surgery. Your anesthesiologist will oversee your anesthesia care team, which may also include an anesthesiologist assistant and a nurse anesthetist. In addition to understanding how anesthesia will be used during your surgery and who will be managing your anesthesia care, it's important to take steps to prepare yourself before surgery. Follow all pre-operative instructions from your doctors, including your anesthesiologist, and quit smoking. Do your best to get a full eight hours of rest before your surgery, and make sure your doctors - including the anesthesiologist - are all aware of every medication you take.

One area that provides a bit of budget-cutting flexibility is home entertainment costs. How can you save money on your TV viewing? Ask yourself these questions: 1. Do I pay more than $100 a month to watch TV? 2. Does every TV in the house need cable or satellite? 3. What programs do I typically watch? 4. Do I want HD quality without extra fees? 5. Would I like to lower or eliminate my monthly fees and still watch up to 90 percent of the most-watched TV shows? You can get rid of cable or satellite altogether, or reduce the number of boxes you need. One solution is to embrace new, inexpensive high-tech antenna technology like the FlatWave Amped, which receives signals up to 50 miles away. Hang it on the wall or better yet, in the window. This thin, flexible HD antenna is designed to be placed wherever the signal is the strongest. This technology means free TV from all the major local broadcast networks, plus additional networks like Qubo, ION, The CW and Universal Sports. It also includes some 24-hour news networks, music and sports channels, as well as children's, classic movie, travel and dining networks RECIPE OF THE MONTH Balsamic Roasted Pork Loin Ingredients: Original recipe makes 2 pounds 2 tablespoons steak seasoning rub 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup olive oil 2 pounds boneless pork loin roast Directions: 1.  Dissolve steak seasoning in balsamic vinegar, then stir in olive oil.

Pour club soda on the spot and continue blotting. Lay a towel over the spot and set a heavy object on top in order to absorb all the moisture Rug Care:  When washing and drying foam-backed throw rugs, never wash in hot water, and use the "air only" dryer setting to dry. Heat will ruin foam.
