Go HERE to read a review of the album "The Prize Abadoned" by Portland's Ghost Atlantic.   Recorded over three frozen days in December 2012 and January 2013, The Prize Abadoned is the first collection of songs from the duo, five long-burning tracks saturated with Maine-winter melcancholy.

I think today should be all about Becky Sawtelle. No wait, let’s give her the entire rest of the week. She deserves it! For most of Becky’s life she struggled with her weight and finally decided to have gastric by-pass surgery. Dr. Jamie Loggins, from the Central Maine Bariatric Surgery Center did the procedure the end of January. 

When I wrote an update in March she was not happy with how things were going. Here’s what she had to say: “I had a really strong relationship with food. Now I can’t eat whatever, whenever, and how much I want. I miss that.”

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital has a new ambulance, and it is quite a set of wheels.

It's a Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Ambulance.
It's designed specifically to transport sick or injured children or infants.

This ambulance replaces one of two North East Mobile Health Services uses to help the Children's Hospital.

It's a $300-thousand truck, funded completely by money raised in the community.

It's the largest ambulance they've ever had, and will allow some breathing room; each transport requires an EMT, ambulance driver, respiratory therapist, critical care nurse, and a neonatal nurse practitioner or physician.

Maine Medical Center has two ambulances dedicated to neonatal transport, and they stay busy. In the last 6 years, they've put about 2-million miles on the road.
