A-F school grading bill passes in House of Delegates
BRISTOL, Va. - Parents in Virginia may be getting an easier way to determine the quality of education in their child's school, but some schools aren't thrilled about the decision.
The House of Delegates passed the A-F school grading system bill this morning; we learned if it is passed in the Senate, it will give schools a single letter grade to show their performance on the state's accreditation system.
Bristol, Virginia Superintendent Mark Lineburg says he thinks it isn't a good idea to give schools just one grade, saying it doesn't give accurate information. "Even when you talk about assessing students today, you talk about multiple criteria to assess a child. The same [applies] with a school," he says.
The legislation is part of the Governor's all students K-12 education legislation.

"Buy 1/2 size down! You'll need heel inserts to keep the shoes from slipping. I'm glad I read the previous review!"

SO CUTE but SO BIG
"These shoes are great and comfy IF you get the right size. I typically wear a size 10 and got a size 9.5 and they're still too big, even with heel pads. I have to stuff the toes for them to be comfortable. Go at least a full size down (and don't decide you want to exchange them after you've walked out of your apartment, like me)."

I absolutely LOVE his voice. I wish I could see him in concert.
I absolutely LOVE his voice. I wish I could see him in concert.
I think he's great! he's on the tour at the moment, you should find out if he's playing near you in 2004.
I love to hear him sing. A friend loaned me a DVD of a concert a couple of weeks ago. It was really good and he is so adorable. He a fantastic piano player as well.
I have all of his CDs AND his DVD
but no I don't like him at ALL
I live in Calgary, but he is not coming here. Only Ontario, plus Montreal.
hmmmmmmmmm I wonder if he's coming to Alaska... I would hope so... ............ *goes to find out*
He's playing here in London, but I couldn't get tickets. Sold out really fast.
His entire tour sold out! Very quickly too!
I absolutely love his voice and range! His first CD was so amazing and the second has some impressive moments as well. I'd love to see him live. That would ALMOST be like seeing Michelle Kwan live.
Yep, my hand's up over here......I have all his CD's and DVD's.....and I'd be the first in line to buy tickets if his tour ever came to town.................42
Yes, I think he is great. I have two of his CDS.
His album is now #1 on Billboard! how's that...beating rap artists and the like...
Clay's going to be on "Ed" next Friday night at 9:00 P.T. He's singing, of course.......... 42
yeah, I know... I don't like the show though
anyone read the comic strip "Luann" ? He was on there recently too... Luann met him!
Toni.....tape the show and then fast forward to the "Clay" section....... 42

This is Zephos Theory from AP_forums he was ban year ago and posted this in 2005. It's actually pretty good if you take a look on where the story was in 2005.
Some of you young cats don't even know how to respond to this. And should stop, I'm being generous here.
I was going to post it after cleaning it up a bit by changing the wrongs that happen already but was at my cousins this weekend tearing sh*t up on CoD and Reach. Daz beat me to it but for the most part it's still a good read and ones who aren't mentally unstable could use their common sense to nip-tick the shenanigans.

Ok... so another attempt on my part to bring some "lets work together" harmony into our home. A while back I had seen THIS idea which I shared on a collection of Parenting Tips, Tricks & Inspirations. I think this will be the perfect motivator for my kids, the perfect thing for me to implement, and a great way offer positive reinforcement in place of the nagging I've resorted to. I have made some changes to make it more appropriate for our home. And of course... after using it for a few weeks, I've learned a thing or two. I'll share...
Some of my favorite coupons in the book are...
* Stay up one hour past your bedtime
* Your choice of one item at the grocery store
* You don't have to clean your room for a week
* Your own batch of cookies, to share or keep for yourself
* A birthday cake, and it doesn't have to be your birthday

|In response to Re: Overflowing Toilet- 3rd Floor
: Water continuously leaking is a not normal, but is common with toilets if they are not kept in good repair. If it is a new toilet then it either has a defective part or is not adjusted properly.
: : I live in a year old house, which had 3 out of 5 toilets replaced because they were not level. Two days ago my child stopped up the toilet in his bathroom (too much paper), told me it was stopped up. I looked at it. The water level was normal- I did see a lot of toilet paper in the bowl. I did not unstop the toilet right away. No one used this toilet, but some time during the night (!) water went into the bowl, eventually overflowing it, wetting the ceiling and floors of the two floors below. My question is: how could this have happened??? Why was water going into the bowl?? On closer inspection (with a rep. from my builder) we found both toilets in my children's bathrooms to be continuiously "leaking" water into the bowl(s). Tomorrow the plumber is coming (at my builder's expense). Please inform me on whether this is "normal" toilet functioning as my toilet expertise is limited to flushing and cleaning. P.S. I am, as you can tell, the "woman of the house", my husband is out of town, we are moving- and our house is on the market. !!!!!!!! Help!!!!!

Serves 2 as a light lunch; 4 as an appetizer
Almost any leftover cooked ingredient can be made into salad in Burmese cuisine, and often is. If you have leftover cooked chicken, for instance, after making chicken broth from whole legs or roasting a chicken, transform it into this refreshing salad. Serve as a light main course for lunch, or as an appetizer.
Place a wide heavy skillet or a large stable wok over medium-high heat and add the oil. Toss in a slice of shallot. As the oil heats, it will rise to the surface, sizzling lightly.
When it's reached the surface, add the rest of the shallots, carefully, so you don't splash yourself with the oil, and lower the heat to medium. (The shallots may seem crowded, but they'll shrink as they cook.) Stir gently and frequently with a long-handled wooden spoon or a spider. The shallots will bubble as they give off their moisture. If they start to brown early, in the first 5 minutes, lower the heat a little more. After about 10 minutes, they should start to color. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the pan or to each other, until they have turned a golden brown, another 3 minutes or so.
Line a plate with paper towels. Use tongs or a spider to lift a clump of fried shallots out of the oil, pausing for a moment to shake off excess oil into the pan, then place on the paper towel. Turn off the heat, transfer the remaining shallots to the plate, and blot gently with another paper towel. Separate any clumps and toss them a little, then let them air-dry 5 to 10 minutes, so they crisp up and cool. (If your kitchen is very hot and humid, they may not crisp up; don't worry, the flavor will still be there.)
Transfer the shallots to a clean, dry, widemouthed glass jar. Once they have cooled completely, seal tightly. Transfer the oil to another clean dry jar, using all but the very last of it, which will have some stray pieces of shallot debris. (You can set that oil aside for stir-frying.) Once the oil has cooled completely, cover tightly and store in a cool dark place.
Place the chicken in a shallow serving bowl. Add the shallots and toss.
Mix together the lime juice, shallot oil, salt, and green chile in a small bowl or cup. Pour over the salad and, using your hands, mix thoroughly. If you have the time, let stand for 10 minutes.
Just before serving, add the toasted chickpea flour, if you wish, the fried shallots and herbs, and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

gorgeous shoe but fit is no good
"I bought these shoes for my bridesmaids and all of them complained that their heel kept popping out as they walked. They look gorgeous on and the shoe is well made but the design is terribly flawed. And it's not a good shoe for someone with wide feet."

Beautiful shoe, but will cause blisters
"Well, I've ordered this shoe twice now (I'm desperately looking for a bronze high-heel sandal). The first pair was too big (8), the second pair fit perfectly (7.5), BUT I immediately noticed it was going to rub on the back part of my foot (zipper area) and leave bad blisters. You cannot place anything on that part of the shoe either because it will block the zipper portion, so back they go. If you can make this shoe work for you, then lucky you....it's a beautiful sandal."

Exchange-traded funds have a reputation for fast money flows. But when it comes to gold, Barclays Capital's commodity strategists are more worried about the loss of investors who tend to sit on their money.
Barclays' Suki Cooper writes recently that gold exchange-traded product flows turning negative pose the "greatest downside risk for gold prices." Gold-fund ownership "has tended to reflect longer-term, 'stickier' investor interest," Cooper writes. Presumably the argument would be that, once the buy-and-hold crowd leaves, the fast money is that much likelier to depart.
But it's awfully tough to tell who's the fast money, and who's "buy and hold" — especially when gold's (until now) strong performance the last decade has made a winner of everybody. What we know is that, last year, fund investors as a whole tended to buy the dips, sending in new money when gold's price faltered.
The $63 billion SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) finished 2012 with $5.7 billion in investor inflows, according to Index Universe data. With investors apparently feeling optimistic during 2012′s down periods, gold's price was able to work its way out of a midyear rut, finishing with a 12th straight annual gain.
This year, it ain't happening. Investors have pulled the same amount — $5.7 billion — from the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) year-to-date, the biggest outflow of any exchange-traded fund by a factor of almost two. Barclays estimates that net redemptions across 55 gold funds hit 111 tons, a record.
Worth noting: The outflows are less torrid from iShares Gold Trust (IAU). I read a hint of "Who's selling?" into the $11 billion iShares fund's $204 million outflows. This fund is popular among smalltime investors, thanks to its low expense ratio and its price around $15.

Gospel Reading

Sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women
The Gospel according to Mark 15:43-47; 16:1-8
At that time, Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. And Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. And he bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?" And looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back; for it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you." And they went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Opel Combo: Compact Van with Passenger Car Qualities
- From panel van to Arizona and Sport: For commercial, family and leisure use
- CDTI turbo-diesel, TWINPORT gasoline and CNG in ecoFLEX league
- One of the largest in its class: Up to 3200 liters of cargo space
Rüsselsheim. Opel offers a state-of-the-art, diverse fleet in the light commercial vehicle segment with the Combo, as well as the popular Movano and Vivaro vans. Along with the Combo panel van that offers up to 3200 liters of cargo space, the five-seat Combo variant has established itself as a popular leisure and family vehicle, thanks to its spaciousness and outstanding value for money. The Combo is available with two common-rail turbo-diesels, one TWINPORT gasoline engine, and one especially economical and environmentally compatible 1.6 CNG natural gas unit.
Design and packaging
"Timelessly practical" is an excellent description of the Combo. The monocab concept unites the passenger cab and cargo area into one harmonious unit, while GM/Opel aerodynamic experts have fine‑tuned the Combo to a drag coefficient of 0.35, making it one of the most streamlined delivery vans available. The side windows pulled down low and the large exterior mirrors are helpful during maneuvering, and the tail lights are located outside of the impact zone along the frame of the tailgate aperture.
The Combo is 4.32 meters long and has a 2.71 meter wheelbase. The load area is 1.79 meters long, with a width ranging from 1.35 meters to a maximum of 1.45 meters (with two sliding doors). With the front passenger seat back folded down, the load area length can be increased to a best‑in‑class 2.70 meters. The distance between the wheelarches is up to 1.11 meters and maximum load height is 1.19 meters. Standard-sized (60 cm) furniture can be loaded through the up to two sliding doors, and the large rear aperture enables loading of Euro pallets through the wing doors in the panel van or tailgate in the passenger car variants. Other practical details include the high payload up to 742 kg and the permitted trailer load of up to 1000 kg (braked).
Passive safety
Thanks to the Combo's stable body structure, collision energy is distributed along predefined load paths in the event of an accident at higher speeds. Side-impact protection beams in the doors and reinforced roof, B-pillars and side sill profiles ensure a high level of protection in the event of a side collision. In addition, all Combo variants are fitted with ABS and brake assist as standard, which builds up higher brake pressure more quickly. Airbags for the driver and front passenger are standard in all passenger versions, and the panel van comes with driver's side airbag. The Combo features Opel's patented Pedal Release System (PRS), three-point safety belts for all seats, as well as seat-belt tensioners and belt-force limiters in front as standard. Fixtures for the ISOFIX child's seat system are available as an option for the outer rear seats.
Chassis and active safety
The Opel Combo owes its safe and stable handling characteristics to its torsion-resistant body, McPherson strut front axle suspended from a hydroformed subframe, and torsion beam rear axle. Thanks to its compact construction, the cargo area is free of protruding strut-mount towers. Stiffer springs and special shock absorbers are available for transporting especially heavy loads.
The ABS system with brake booster, internally ventilated disk brakes in front (also in rear with the 1.7 CDTI, 1.6 CNG and the 'increased payload' option) and brake assist ensures powerful deceleration. With power steering, maneuvering requires minimal effort.
Engines and transmissions
The Combo's engine range includes one state-of-the-art TWINPORT gasoline unit, two powerful CDTI common-rail turbo-diesels and one especially environmentally compatible natural gas unit. Thanks to variable intake control and high rates of exhaust gas recirculation, the 66 kW/90 hp 1.4 TWINPORT consumes just 6.3 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. The efficient 1.3 CDTI (55 kW/75 hp) and 1.7 CDTI (74 kW/100 hp) with variable multiple direct injection require between 5.1 and 5.2 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers. The 1.6 CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) unit, featuring the monovalentplus concept, is designed for maximum efficiency in natural gas operation. With 19 kg of natural gas and a 14-liter gasoline reserve, the 69 kW/94 hp CNG Combo has an operating range of approximately 550 kilometers and produces just 133 g/km CO2. It is this low-emission figure that entitles the Combo CNG to bear the ecoFLEX logo of Opel's environmental initiative. The same applies to the 1.4 TWINPORT ecoFLEX (148 g/km CO2) and the 1.3 CDTI ecoFLEX (134 g/km CO2). All Combos are equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. The 1.3 CDTI is also available with an automated Easytronic five-speed manual gearbox and features a diesel particulate filter as standard.

Flash sale site Gilt Groupe has launched its first full-priced menswear ecommerce site, Park & Bond to cater to men who hate to shop. Actually, it's for men who hate to go shopping and spend time rifling through racks and stacks at the mall. Think of it as an oldschool department store with the one person who will tell you what is hot and worth the money. We also like the nifty advice section in which you learn how to achieve the perfect tie dimple. Why we like Park & Bond: a strategic cultivation of mens denim brands from tried and true A.P.C., Diesel and AG Jeans to more indie denim labels like Naked & Famous, Nudie and Simon Spurr. Expect the brands to change with the seasons, but we're quite okay with the current jeans offerings.

Our Mother Who Art In Heaven?
Returning to the "masculine feel" of Christianity discussion, it may be worthwhile to address one prominent point in the debate. While God the Father is spirit, and therefore is not a sexual being nor is he "male," he chooses to predominantly reveal himself in masculine language in Scripture.
But one of the immediate objections to this is the simple fact that God sometimes references himself through feminine imagery, and this is certainly true. By my count we find this in 26 places:
- Numbers 11:12
- Deuteronomy 32:18
- Ruth 2:12
- Job 38:8
- Job 38:28–29
- Psalm 17:8
- Psalm 22:9–10
- Psalm 90:2
- Psalm 91:4
- Psalm 123:2
- Psalm 131:2–3
- Proverbs 8:1
- Proverbs 8:22–25
- Isaiah 31:5
- Isaiah 42:13–14
- Isaiah 45:10
- Isaiah 46:3
- Isaiah 49:15
- Isaiah 63:15
- Isaiah 66:7–13
- Hosea 13:8
- Matthew 23:37
- Luke 13:34
- Luke 15:8–10
- John 3:3–8
- 1 Peter 2:2–3
In his book Our Father in Heaven: Christian Faith and Inclusive Language for God, John Cooper published the conclusions from his study of these 26 (or so) passages. One of his major discoveries was while feminine metaphors for God's activity are sometimes used, and used to illustrate the tender nurturing character of God, none of these references include feminine titles for God.
Cooper explains:
Linguistically, all the clear and plausible instances of feminine reference to God are imagery or figures of speech: similes, analogies, metaphors, and personification. . . . there are no cases in which feminine terms are used as names, titles, or invocations of God, and thus there are no feminine pronouns for God. There are no instances where God is directly identified by a feminine term, even a metaphorical predicate noun. In other words, God is never directly said to be a mother, mistress, or female bird in the way he is said to be a father, king, judge, or shepherd.1
That explains why in Scripture we find many many masculine titles for God: Lord, Father, King, Judge, Savior, Ruler, Warrior, Shepherd, Husband, and even a handful of metaphorical masculine titles like Rock, Fortress, and Shield. But when it comes to feminine titles for God, there simply are none.
Cooper goes on to argue that the developing clarity in Scripture in regards to the trinitarian nature of God means that most of the feminine language for God is to be found in the Old Testament. "As the Bible progressively reveals God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, the feminine imagery for God does not increase but recedes into the background."2
Theologian John Frame makes an additional point that feminine imagery in Scripture is often intentionally applied to men. This is true of Paul's references in Galatians 4:19 and 1 Thessalonians 2:7. Obviously, Paul's male-ness is never brought into question by these female metaphors. This is also true of striking passages like one about the male kings in Isaiah 60:16. "So," Frame concludes on this passage, "while Scripture does use this feminine metaphor [of birthing and nursing] for God, it gives us no more encouragement to think of God as female than it gives us to think of these kings as female."3 Good point.
A Masculine God Changes Everything
Assuming you agree with me up until this point, and many Christians will, you may object: Yes, but in the end those masculine titles for God do not make the faith or the church any more masculine.
And yet, J. I. Packer, in his greatest book, and in perhaps the greatest chapter of his greatest book, tells us that the key to understanding creation and redemption and adoption and therefore all of Christianity, is bound up in the Fatherhood of God.4 In other words, we cannot dismiss this masculine title and role for God as Father and hope to arrive at a clearer understanding of what Christianity or creation is all about. We certainly may end up forfeiting something important about God in the process.
Which is Frame's concern. When he explored the modern feminist attempts to highlight the 26 feminine references to God as a means of downplaying his masculine titles, Frame discovered that the rejection of God's masculine character and authority went hand-in-hand with a denial of God's Lordship.5 That makes sense. If God is not masculine, then he is not Lord, and he therefore no longer stands as the sovereign Lord over all.
I wonder if Frame is on to something more significant here than semantics, similes, metaphors, and analogies. What if the tension over the "masculine feel" of Christianity reveals an uncomfortableness with God's authority and his Lordship?
It may be.
Among other reasons, Frame makes an important connection between the emphasis in Scripture on God's masculine titles and the explicitness of his masculine-Lordship. Preserving the masculine names and titles of God is not merely good for our Theology 1 class, but is essential in shaping all of Christianity, in shaping our lives, and in shaping our churches as we all submit to God's explicit authority.
Which can only mean that God chose to reveal himself as the masculine-Lord for the flourishing of women and for men alike. That God is the masculine-Lord over all things, and that Christianity has a "masculine feel" to it, does not exalt men over women. Quite the contrary. A proper biblical emphasis on God's masculine-Lordship puts men like me in our proper place. It puts us on our knees.

Meet A Member of Congress
Starting this month, the Health Policy Brief will include a new column, "Meet a Member of Congress," which will introduce you to our nation's lawmakers, who each day debate legislation that affects your family, your practice and your patients.@blurbend
Our inaugural column features Joe Pitts, a Republican Member of Congress who represents the 16th Congressional district of Pennsylvania. Before becoming a Member of Congress, Chairman Pitts was an officer in the Air Force, a teacher and a small business owner, giving him a wide array of experiences, which he brings to Congress. First elected in 1996, he has served on the House Budget Committee, the International Relations Committee (now known as the Foreign Affairs Committee), the Small Business Committee, the House Armed Services Committee, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee. As a member of the Budget Committee, Chairman Pitts co-wrote the only four balanced budgets enacted into law since the Lyndon Johnson Administration. Each of those budgets, negotiated with President Clinton, actually paid off some of the government's debt.
Chairman Pitts is an advocate for fiscal responsibility, refusing to request earmarks and voting against Democratic and Republican legislation if he feels it is irresponsibly expensive. He is an advocate for truly bipartisan health reform, working with New York Democrat Nydia Velazquez, chairwoman of the Small Business Committee, to introduce the Small Business CHOICE Act, which would make it easier for small businesses to offer health insurance to their employees.
Because of his service, his hard work and his commitment to the issues, he was appointed the chair of the Health Subcommittee of the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee for 112th Congress. Though he is rather busy right now in setting up the agenda for his Committee, Chairman Pitts graciously sat down with us for a few minutes to tell us a little about his plans for the Committee in the next year.
Q: What do you see as the biggest items on your Committee's horizon for the next year?
Pitts: Our number one priority is repealing the Affordable Care Act and proposing legislation that reforms healthcare with free-market measures. We will also tackle medical malpractice reform and a permanent fix to the Sustainable Growth Rate formula. The Subcommittee also needs to reauthorize the Medical Device User Fee Modernization Act (MDUFMA) and the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA).
Q: If you could wave a magic wand and anything could happen, what would you like to see pass (both through the Committee and the whole House)?
Pitts: Repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
[Editor's note: On January 19, 2011, the House passed H.R. 2, to the legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The vote was 245-189 in favor of repeal.]
Q: What do you think is likely to pass?
Pitts: Certainly the reauthorization bills, but we should also be able to pass targeted repeal legislation and free-market healthcare reforms.
Q: What do you think the Senate will do with these issues?
Pitts: I think that we will work together to send reauthorization bills to the President. I hope that we can work together on further healthcare reforms and perhaps a permanent Sustainable Growth Rate fix. We need to stop kicking the can down the road.
Q: Physicians have had a rough time over the last two years. Many are feeling discouraged. What would you like to tell them to keep them hopeful about their futures and the future of healthcare in America?
Pitts: One of my heroes, Winston Churchill, once said that "Americans will always do the right thing…after they've exhausted all the alternatives." I think the same could be said of Congress. The American people want us to get this right, and I think that we will. The Affordable Care Act was a bad start, but if doctors and the American people stay engaged, we can undo the damage and pass real reform.
Q: As physicians, community members and voters, what can physicians do to "make a difference" and why should they continue to be active and involved?
Pitts: The biggest way they can make a difference is by communicating with their Members of Congress. Most Members of Congress are not doctors, and don't understand the struggles that health professionals go through. But what we do in Congress has a huge impact on your work. We need to make decisions that are based on what is best for doctors and patients.
Q: Is there anything else you would like to say to our members (urologists – who are surgeons, office practitioners, pediatricians, geriatricians, researchers and cancer care specialists)?
Pitts: I know many provider groups are especially concerned with certain aspects of the Affordable Care Act, such as the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). I support the repeal of IPAB, as it leaves crucial medical decisions in the hands of an unaccountable commission.
Many thanks to Chairman Pitts for taking time to share with us some of his vision for the Healthcare Committee over the next year. We look forward to working with him and all Members of Congress as this session moves forward.
Coding Corner:
Bladder Scan Confusion
On February 3, 2011, the AUA released a new clinical Guideline on the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), which updates current guidance on diagnosing and treating this common condition in men that can lead to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and impact the quality of life for patients. The AUA first released its own original guidance on BPH in 2003. The full guideline is available online and is expected to be published in an upcoming issue of The Journal of Urology®. A special Webinar about this guideline is also available on the AUA's YouTube Channel. Click here to view the presentation.@blurbend
The update to the guideline, finalized in late 2010, includes a detailed diagnostic algorithm to guide a physician in diagnosing and treating LUTS secondary to BPH, as well as in-depth information on its basic management and the management of complicated cases. Physicians treating men with suspected cases of LUTS should obtain a relevant medical history, assess symptoms using the AUA Symptom Index and conduct a full physical examination (including a digital rectal exam). Laboratory tests should include a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test and a urinalysis to exclude infection or other causes for LUTS. Frequency and volume charts may also be useful in providing a diagnosis.
The 2003 update provided key information on the use of pharmacologic therapies to treat BPH (in addition to surgical therapies available); the 2010 edition contains added recommendations for the use of anti-cholinergic drugs and the use of laser therapies. Additionally, the index patient age has been lowered to 45 from 50 in order to better guide physicians in treating younger men who may be experiencing lower urinary symptoms.
The guideline also includes cautionary statements about intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) in cataract patients taking alpha-blockers to treat BPH. The AUA cautions physicians to question patients about any planned cataract surgery prior to their starting an alpha-blocker regimen (men planning cataract surgery should avoiding initiating alpha-blockers until after their surgery has been completed). Those men already taking the drugs should inform their ophthalmologists of their alpha-blocker regimen prior to surgery.
"The increasing life expectancy and growth of our elderly population will increase the number of men who suffer from LUTS. This will place increased demands for treatment services, and necessitate the incorporation of evidence-based medicine in that treatment," said Kevin T. McVary, MD, chair of the panel that developed the guideline. "This document provides much-needed guidance to doctors who are already treating LUTS, as well as those who will be in the future."
EHR Incentive Sources Extend Beyond CMS
Although the most talked about source of financial assistance to help practices purchase electronic health records (EHRs) is the Medicare/Medicaid Meaningful Use incentive, there are other sources of funds that every urology practice should investigate@blurbend as they move toward acquisition of new or upgraded EHR systems.
According to an article in the November 2010 issue of Managed Care Magazine, a number of the managed care plans are stepping up to the plate with additional payment incentives for those providers who use EHR systems. Examples include Highmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Pennsylvania, Wellpoint, UnitedHealthcare and Aetna. These incentives will not last forever, but are designed to be kick-starters to supplement what Medicare is doing. Additionally, the Connecticut Medical Association is issuing $100,000 grants to primary care physicians who purchase EHR systems in an effort to increase momentum toward establishing patient-centered medical homes. Finally, all urology practices should keep in mind that the Stark and anti-kickback exemptions that allow other healthcare providers (such as your local hospital or reference lab) to contribute toward the purchase price of EHR systems and maintenance are still in effect.
Approved Testing and Certifying Bodies (ATCB) for Meaningful Use Expand
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONCHIT) recently issued an announcement of two more Approved Testing and Certifying Bodies (ATCBs) that have been approved to test and certify electronic medical record systems as qualified for Meaningful Use. These ATCBs include ICSA Labs in Mechanicsburg, PA, and SLI Global Solutions in Denver, CO. This addition increases the total number of ONC-ATCBs to five. These testing facilities accept applications from EHR vendors and if the software submitted passes a rigorous set of tests of the Meaningful Use criteria issued by ONC, the software is added to the list of certified systems, one of which a provider must use in order to receive the government subsidies over the next five years. Click here (link removed) for a complete list of ATCBs or to view the current list of certified products.
MGMA Releases Survey Showing EHR Users Are More Profitable
At its 2010 Annual Conference held in New Orleans in October, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) unveiled the results of its newest survey, titled Electronic Health Records Impacts on Revenue, Costs and Staffing: 2010 Report Based on 2009 Data. MGMA CEO William Jessee, MD, explained that, although multi-specialty practices using EHR had higher expenses, they also had higher revenue resulting in approximately $50,000 more profit per physician per year. The survey report can be ordered on the MGMA Web site.

The AUA Legislative Affairs Committee and the Health Policy Council recently approved the legislative priorities for 2011. The AUA will work closely with our partner coalitions (such as the American College of Surgeons [ACS], the Alliance of Specialty Medicine [the Alliance], and the American Medical Association [AMA]) on issues of importance to organized medicine in order to exert greater collective pressure on Capitol Hill. These issues include replacing the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR), repealing the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), enacting comprehensive medical liability reform, and preserving the in-office ancillary exception to the Stark Law.@blurbend
In addition, the AUA will focus on issues of particular concern to urology. These include reintroducing and working toward the passage of the AUA-drafted prostate cancer bill (the Prostate Research, Outreach, Screening, Testing, Access and Treatment Effectiveness Act) and the AUA-drafted urotrauma bill, and ensuring that ultrasound is not categorized with other advanced imaging services (such as computerized tomography[CT] and positron emission tomography [PET] scans) as Congress looks at further cuts to reimbursement.
AUA General Healthcare Legislative Priorities
Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) Formula: the Medicare physician payment cuts necessitated by the SGR remain a concern for the AUA. The AUA has worked with and signed onto letters with a multitude of coalitions and other stakeholders, including the ACS, the Alliance and the AMA, calling for a repeal of the SGR. Congress, however, has continued to prolong addressing this critical issue.
Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB): the AUA remains concerned about the Affordable Care Act (ACA)-established IPAB and believes that it is an inappropriate delegation of Congress' oversight responsibilities to an unelected, unaccountable body. Without proper Congressional oversight, and without the ability to have practicing physicians on this Board, the recommendations of the IPAB could further reduce Medicare beneficiaries' access to high quality healthcare.
Imaging and Other In-Office Ancillaries: the AUA will continue to work with groups, such as the Coalition for Patient Centered Imaging, to preserve the in-office ancillary exception to the Stark Law. We believe that attempts by other groups (e.g., radiology, pathology, radiation oncology) to remove this critical exception are misguided. The AUA continues to strongly advocate that the integration of in-office services, particularly ultrasound, into clinical care improves quality and safety; reduces complications; and saves Medicare money by enhancing access to minimally invasive procedures.
Access to Specialty Care: the AUA supports Congressional efforts to maintain appropriate access to specialty care while there is a national shift in healthcare delivery toward greater preventive care. The AUA urges Congress to ensure that efforts aimed at increasing access to primary care are not addressed in a budget neutral fashion, and to ensure that specialists will be allowed proper access to new payment models being tested (such as medical homes and accountable care organizations) so that access to specialty care does not suffer as a result of a greater focus on preventive medicine.
Medical Liability Reform: while the AUA supports testing alternatives to the current tort system, such as health courts, medical tribunals, and early disclosure and compensation offers, this is not enough. We need comprehensive medical liability reform to truly address this problem, as was recently suggested by the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. The AUA urges Congress to pass federal legislation that 1) includes reasonable limits on non-economic damages (similar to laws in California or Texas), and 2) protects physicians who follow established evidence-based practice guidelines and/or volunteer services in a disaster or local/national emergency situation. Congress is responding to this request. Recently, the Help Efficient, Accessible, Low-cost, Timely Healthcare (HEALTH) Act of 2011 (H.R. 5) was introduced by Representative Phil Gingrey (R-GA). The bill, which the AUA supports, aims to improve patient access to healthcare services and provide improved medical care by reducing the excessive burden the liability system places on the healthcare delivery system. Click here to read the bill.
Quality and Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS): the AUA has been an active supporter of the national quality agenda, supplying representatives to the National Quality Forum (NQF), AQA (formerly the Ambulatory Quality Alliance), the Surgical Quality Alliance (SQA) and the AMA Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement (PCPI), among others, developing measures for prostate cancer and other major urologic conditions. We have also taken numerous steps to educate our members about the importance of reporting on quality measures. While we continue to encourage our members to participate in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Physician Quality Reporting System, or PQRS (formerly known as the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative, or PQRI); we oppose mandatory penalties established in the ACA for those who do not successfully participate in PQRS. Furthermore, we oppose any reporting of PQRS participation results on the "Physician Compare Web site." The AUA urges Congress to repeal the penalties and push for better infrastructure, including the inclusion of more relevant quality urology measures within PQRS and timely access to feedback reports within PQRS.
Physician Feedback Reporting Program: Value-Based Purchasing: under Section 3003 of the ACA, beginning in 2012, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary is directed to use CMS claims data to provide physicians with confidential reports that measure the costs of the resources involved (e.g., labs, diagnostic tests) in furnishing care to Medicare beneficiaries and comparing both a physician's pattern of resource use and his/her score on quality measures relevant to the condition under review to those of other physicians. Further, CMS is mandated under the ACA to devise a publicly-available episode grouper, attribution methodology, risk adjustment methodology, and budget neutral payment adjuster by 2013, which will then be used to differentially reward those physicians, who, in comparison to their peers in the same geographic market treating the same condition, cost less and score higher on quality measures. This introduction into the Medicare program of a value-based purchasing model for physicians is scheduled to be rolled out nationwide by 2017. The AUA is very concerned that the complexities involved to accurately and fairly implement such a program cannot be done in time to meet this ambitious deadline. We will work with our coalition groups to ensure CMS is provided sufficient time to fully develop and test this program before it is implemented nationally.
Payment Models: the AUA firmly believes that innovative payment models such as the patient-centered medical home and accountable care organizations must ensure participation and leadership by specialists. For example, with patients who have diseases and conditions such as prostate cancer and incontinence, urologists are the appropriate physicians to serve as a patient-centered medical home, if the patient so chooses. Therefore, we urge Congress and federal agencies to ensure that specialists are part of any new initiatives that may be developed.
AUA Urology-Specific Priorities
Urotrauma: the AUA will continue to build on the success of the AUA-led urotrauma bill (H.R. 5106) that was introduced in the 111th Congress by Representative Zack Space (D-OH-18) and Representative Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH-1) and co-sponsored by Representatives Chris Lee (R-NY-26) and Mike Ross (D-AR-4). We are very pleased that some language from the bill was inserted into the House report, Report 111-491, of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2010, H.R. 5136. This is the annual bill that funds the nation's military operations; having report language included in this Act is thus a major victory. A modified version of the NDAA, which did not officially contain any report language, was approved. However, the House Armed Services Committee was very clear that it fully expects the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to comply with House Report 111-491, which contains our language. In anticipation of this, the AUA will convene a urotrauma expert task force to make recommendations to the DoD. The mandate contained within the original NDAA report that requires that the DoD issue urotrauma recommendations within a year.
Prostate Cancer: the AUA will continue to build on the success of the AUA-led PROSTATE Act (Prostate Research, Outreach, Screening, Testing, Access and Treatment Effectiveness Act of 2010). This legislation calls for the establishment of a federal interagency task force to align and more efficiently coordinate current prostate cancer programs across the federal government. The task force will be convened by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, with participation from the DoD, and HHS. The legislation establishes four-year pilot projects for telehealth services for rural and underserved populations, as well as a grant program to address the widespread disparities in the timely diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
The legislation was introduced in the 111th Congress in both chambers of Congress, giving the bill much prized bipartisan support. In the Senate, S. 3755 was introduced by both Senator John Tester (D-MT) and Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) and co-sponsored by Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI). Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Edolphus Towns (D-NY-10) introduced the bill in the House (H.R. 6389). The AUA will work closely with its Legislative Affairs Committee, Health Policy Council, and advocacy groups and other stakeholders as we seek to re-introduce both pieces of legislation and gather even more support and momentum in the 112th Congress.
Ultrasound: the AUA has a distinct interest in ensuring that ultrasound services are not included with other advanced imaging services (e.g., CT, PET scans) as Congress and federal agencies continue to scrutinize advanced diagnostic imaging. Some CMS and private insurance policies are already grouping these services together. The AUA will work with states to monitor Medicaid activity and private insurer activity on this issue, as well as explore the common uses of ultrasound in various Current Procedural Terminology codes.

"I came home and found Mommy lying in the kitchen floor. She was crying so hard she was shaking. I didn't know what to do, so I went to my room and climbed on my bed and I cried until I shook, too."
These words came from a young child whose father was a law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty. He was speaking to a "C.O.P.S. Kids" counselor during the National Police Survivors' Conference, a program of Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc. (COPS). COPS is a national non-profit organization that for more than 21 years has been called a "lifeline" by the surviving families of law enforcement officers killed doing their jobs.
The scenario described so simply and innocently by that young child was the catalyst that compelled COPS to develop "C.O.P.S. Kids" Summer Camp. COPS' 11th annual, "C.O.P.S. Kids" Summer Camp was once again held at Army Lake Camp in East Troy, Wis., Aug. 7, with record-high attendance.
The formula that makes "C.O.P.S. Kids" Summer Camp a valuable resource for law enforcement surviving families requires that the surviving parent/guardian attend along with the surviving children ages 6-14.
"The philosophy of our camp is that the surviving family should grieve and rebuild their lives together, " stated COPS' Executive Director Suzie Sawyer. "Widows have lost their life partner and co-parent. Children have lost a parent, usually, but not always, the father, the parent that tradition says will teach them about camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Each family member, adult and child, must learn to cope in their new roles, not only individually, but together as a family. A summer camp setting provides outdoor activities and plenty of opportunities for personal and family growth and enrichment. COPS supplements regular camp activities with counseling sessions facilitated by mental health professionals familiar with the trauma associated with line-of-duty death."
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources was actively involved with teaching the campers archery skills, and how to fish, canoe, and shoot pellet guns and rifles. Several Wisconsin law enforcement agencies provided assistance at the Milwaukee airport, meeting and welcoming survivors.
This formula has already given healing, love, and life renewed to the 684 survivors who have attended the previous 10 camps. Record-high attendance at this year's camp included 88 surviving children and 49 parents, three of them surviving dads and one grandfather/guardian. COPS covers all costs associated with the week-long camp; survivors are only responsible for their travel to Wisconsin. Attending from Castle Dale were Lisa, Trevor, and Noah Johnson, survivors of Emery County Sheriff's Deputy Jeremiah Johnson, killed May 27, 2003.
"The 40 percent rise in camp costs this year is a double-edge sword," Sawyer continued. "COPS' sole purpose is to help law enforcement survivors rebuild their shattered lives, so of course we're delighted that word-of-mouth throughout the COPS' membership of more than 14,000 surviving households is bringing more survivors to this program. But the tremendous cost is something we didn't plan for in our yearly budget. 'C.O.P.S. Kids' Summer Camp could certainly use a guardian angel."
COPS is a 501(c)(3) corporation. Donations are tax-deductible according to IRS regulations. COPS has been awarded four out of a possible four stars by Charity Navigator, an independent charity evaluator, signifying that COPS has demonstrated exceptional financial health, outperforming most of its peers in its efforts to manage and grow its finances in the most fiscally responsible way possible.

Skip to comments.Harry S. Obama?
Posted on 08/16/2011 6:06:52 PM PDT by gusopol3
But on one policy Truman went further than his top advisers or Dewey's. When the Soviets blocked land access to West Berlin in June 1948, Truman's advisers -- men of the caliber of George Marshall and Omar Bradley -- said that it was impossible to supply food and fuel to Berlin and we should just abandon it.
At a crucial meeting in July 1948 Truman listened to this advice. After others finished talking, Truman said simply, "We're not leaving Berlin." Gen. Lucius Clay, our proconsul in Germany, set about organizing what became the Berlin airlift.
Gen. William Tunner, who had run the wartime airlift from Burma to China, made the Berlin airlift work. Vast quantities of food and coal -- far more than experts had estimated -- were brought into Tempelhof Airport on planes landing in foul weather every 90 seconds. The pilots took to throwing out pieces of candy to the hungry kids lining the runways.
Andrei Cherny, now chairman of the Arizona Democratic Party, tells the story in his book "The Candy Bombers." He argues persuasively that the Berlin airlift -- an example of American strength, determination, technological prowess and generosity -- played a key role in re-electing Truman.
Truman's tough stand against communist aggression played a key part in his upset victory in 1948. Will Barack Obama have a similar accomplishment? Or will he be seen as impotent against our enemies, as was Jimmy Carter?
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
"Will Barack Obama have a similar accomplishment? Or will he be seen as impotent against our enemies, as was Jimmy Carter?"
Is this a trick question?...lol
S / not S.
More like James Earl Soetoro.
Dewey ran as the RINO prototype on a platform of increased spending on public housing and expanding Social Security.
Republicans stayed home and the low turnout reflects this.
Should have said "Or will he be seen as our enemy?" Truman took a tough stand against communists...now we have one in the White House.
That's Harry S Roosevelt MLK Kennedy Lincoln Obama
Obama wouldnt make a pimple on Harry Truman's arse.
It is a travesty to see Harry Trumans name mentioned in an article about this Muslim loser.
The only thing Obama is good at is spending money we don't have. Spending like a Rodney King who just hit the Lotto.
>>S / not S.<<
Makes you wonder if it was Barone or the editor. Either way, it is a stupid, if common, mistake and totally unacceptable from those who write or edit for a living (i.e. par for the course for the last 25 years).
Thanks for the instructions; I was thinking you meant SOB ama or sob ama as in crybaby.
You left out the insane zero trying to compare himself to Reagan.
Truman was a traitor to the US, sold em up the river in favour of the UN, look at the korean conflict, also look how MacArthur was treated after a successful attack. The UN was playing both sides. The secretary general is a communist always has been and Truman was involved in this too. The real heroes always end up dead or disgraced it seems... ie Patton.
MacArthur was way,way out of line. Truman was correct in firing him.
Never a huge fan of Truman,who was the ultimate machine hack. But he was right twice: dropping the bomb, and dropping dugout dug.
We disagree badly.
>> "MacArthur was way,way out of line. Truman was correct in firing him." <<
You would fit in better at DU.
>> "Truman was a traitor to the US, sold em up the river in favour of the UN" <<
Absolute right.
Truman was a traitor to the core. Mac tried to redirect him but was somewhat clumsey in his methods. He was a general, not a very effective politician.
| Zer0 transparency.
Zer0 responsibility.
Zer0 accountability.
Our Constitutional Republic is in danger every minute this petulant cipher continues in the White House.
Æthelblack the Unready.
More like the little man on the wedding cake. And I know who I'd really like to be the Truman to his Tom Dewey.
we can disagree, but the fact is, any information from the allies in Korea was fed through the UN directly to the communists, that's why MacArthur did his surprise attack, and only told a handful of trusted officers, he suspected the other side knew every move they made and they did thanks to whitehouse. If that's not traitor's behavior, I don't know what is.
Someone clearly reads FR. I just reported how similar the Truman situation is to Obama and speculated whether Obama would get a moment like Truman with the Berlin Airlift.
Comparing Obama to Truman is yet another example of the sort of latter-day journalistic idiocy that infects the press of the entire nation.
It's like comparing Jack Tunney to Bozo the Clown.
You have your opinion and I have mine.
Mo-DOT gets it wrong sometimes !
So, you are saying that it is OK for a general officer to publicly ridicule the President?
Wow. What a liberal mindset I have. Thanks for clearing that up.
>> "So, you are saying that it is OK for a general officer to publicly ridicule the President?" <<
That president definitely need to be ridiculed, and exposed.
Mac did what he did at his own risk, and there was no superior course of action under the circumstances. Truman was every bit as destructive to the entire world as Obama is today.
So, if he did what he did at his own risk, he was risking exactly what happened.
As I said before, I think Truman was nothing more than a hack.
But as they say, you salute the rank not the person.
A hack that delivered nuclear technology to the most dangerous nation on Earth.
The schmuck stops here.
can't forget this rant..
Jimmy Barack Hoover.

Great All Around
"I have been using these faithfully for crosstraining workouts (Focus T25/Insanity), spinning, Body Pump, and all manner of exercise. Shoes are very comfortable in all applications. I also like how breathable they are. My feet don't get too sweaty or hot in them. Shoe is very lightweight which is a plus because I don't feel like its in the way when I doing something that requires a bit of agility. Great shoes. Definitely necessary if you're looking to get in shape."

excellent crosstrainer
"Very comfortable even after a ten mile walk/jog. Like wearing a slipper but with support. Instead of the upper digging into the top of your foot it has give with no hard seams. The only drawback is at times the laces loosen up as well as the shoe and you have to make it tighter then re tie."

Hi, everyone,
My name is Thom Chittom. I'm a long-time lurker and now new member posting this from Nashville, TN. Thanks are already in store, as many of the points and posts in this forum have helped me understand difficult concepts or introduced me to new ideas.
I started with Koine in 1994 at Gordon-Conwell Seminary (Scott Hafemann, T. David Gordon), and advanced into what I think of now as second-year Greek. After graduation, I began a career in publishing. Greek wasn't exactly central to the demands of life. Yet, after years of on-again-off-again, a friend asked me to teach him, and so we went through Mounce's second edition. Since then, I've started teaching a few of the willing at my office using the third edition.
To be honest, I'm not the most brilliant student of the language. It would surprise my teachers to know I stayed with it, no doubt, and I have to work hard to retain and advance. But there's something about the language that keeps me, whether it is the innate beauty of the thing itself, the fun of picking apart a difficult construction, the wow of some new concept that clicks into place, or the awe and privilege of reading the New Testament in the original (and there is nothing like seeing someone realize they just read x for themselves!) Greek long ago ceased to be skill I knew and started to be a way of being in the world. I hope that this forum will help me reach beyond second-year skills into greater levels of mastery and ability. Thanks to everyone for creating this supportive community.
