"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more."
Hi Buttons Angel-Pants!

text: Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Jello from Emery County Care and Rehab. We want you to know we share the love with our residents. This perfect combination only happens here in Utah. Home of the ongoing love affair with Jello. That's right, Jello. National Jello week ran from Feb. 5-11 and was celebrated at Emery County Care and Rehab all week long. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were 'Bring your favorite Jello' and Friday was the grand finale with a Jello face-off. The goal was to inspire the most original Jello dish, and who better to judge Jello than three of the nursing home residents: Sarah, Renee, and Vicky. The participants went from creative to colorful to questionable. Bear in mind, these are all healthcare professionals - some discretion may be required. There were five finalists: A Bleeding Heart with fresh fruit 'bleeding' through the whipped topping, two bedpan jellos that need no description, an emesis (vomit) basin - which also needs no description, a peachy-sardine, and Jello dogs. The first place winner was Jello dogs by Kamie Conover. Long Jello jigglers in split Twinkie buns. Colorful, creative, and tasty. Second place went to Jayne Richards for her Bedside Manner - a set of bedpan and emesis basin creatively called "The End" and "Veggie Jello repeat." If you have time or ideas you'd like to share with our residents and staff, please feel free to call Kim Allred, Activities Director or Alec Stephenson, Administrator at 384-2301.

Midseason Awards, Part I: The Hart and The Vezina
Jonathan Willis
January 17 2012 10:11AM
As the NHL moves past the midway mark of the season, it's time to look back at which players deserve hardware, based on their performance over the first half. To answer that question, we polled writers from across the Nation Network, talking to writers at every site.
This morning, we unveil the first of our midseason awards: our picks for the winners of the Hart and Vezina Trophies.
Hart Memorial Trophy
Description: The Hart Memorial Trophy is an annual award given to the player judged to be the most valuable to his team.
Winner: Claude Giroux
Runners-Up: Phil Kessel, Evgeni Malkin
While most of the races in our midseason voting were tight, this one was not, with Claude Giroux winning in a landslide. Jason Gregor summed things up nicely when he described Giroux as a "dynamic player," crediting him with "becoming a big leader in Philly." With 49 points in 39 games, Giroux is just outside the lead in NHL scoring but would probably still be at the front of the pack if it weren't for missing time to a concussion.
LeafsNation's Danny Gray offers a different perspective. While he had Giroux second in his rankings, he gave the nod to Phil Kessel for the top spot. "Last season Corey Perry won the Hart for almost singlehandedly dragging the Ducks into the playoffs," Gray said in his explanation. "Phil Kessel's performance in the first half is the biggest reason the Leafs find themselves in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff hunt. He has been at the top of the NHL's scoring race since the first day of the season and has finally produced with the consistency that many said he would never possess. "
Also in the mix: Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Sedin, Marian Hossa and Daniel Sedin.
Vezina Trophy
Description: The Vezina Trophy is an annual award given to the goalkeeper adjudged to be the best at this position.
Winner: Henrik Lundqvist
Runners-Up: Tim Thomas, Jonathan Quick
Our voting gave us a tight, three-way race between three players, with Henrik Lundqvist name the eventual winner. It's a richly deserved honour for Lundqvist, in the midst of his best season – he has consistently been the Rangers' best player for six seasons now and has never won the award.
Tim Thomas and Jonathan Quick both had their share of supporters, though. As Jason Gregor told me when he picked Quick as his choice for the award, "His 1.93 GAA and .934 SV% are outstanding. If he had any goal support he might be leading the league in wins. In his 17 losses/OT losses the Kings have scored a measly 24 goals." Tim Thomas, meanwhile, continues to dominate the league the way he has the past few seasons, but strong work by his backup means that he gets fewer starts and his starts seem less impressive in contrast than other top goalies.
Also in the mix: Nicklas Backstrom, Brian Elliott, Mike Smith, Jimmy Howard.
Descriptions courtesy of NHL.com.
If Malkin continues to drop 5point nights like he did the other night he might find his odds of winning improving in a hurry.
As good as Thomas has been in Boston, Rask has been even better.
Win% Thomas - .667 Rask - .734
GAA Thomas - 1.99 Rask - 1.61
Shutouts Thomas - 4 Rask - 3
SV% Thomas - .937 Rask - .948
While Thomas has started more games...27 to Rask's 18...Rask has been absolutely lights out.
Nice problem for the Bruins to have.
January 17 2012, 10:32AM
I would have included Malkin in my Hart considerations, but the Pens still give him some of the cushiest ice time around. Like the Sedins, he faces mid-level competition and his zone start is approaching 70%.
He's crushing things in that role to be sure. But he should be.
To Jason's point about Quick, that's why I voted or him for the Hart as well. All Vezina goalies are technically the most important player on the team but with LA not scoring at all through the first half Quick's incredible performance probably saved their season.
January 17 2012, 10:48AM
Thomas deserved the Vezina. This is a traveshamockery.
@Kent Wilson
Is that you Kent? A goalie the Hart trophy winner?
@ Jonathan Willis
The thing with Elliot, Thomas and Backstrom is you could argue they aren't showing themselves to be much better than the other guy. DSF went over the Rask argument (who has better #'s over his short entire career as well)
Elliot .946 ev vs Halak .937 ev. - Hitch has them playing tight in front.
Backstrom .935 ev vs Harding .934 ev - Minny is always tight.
However, Jonathan Quick = .935 ev vs Bernier? .888. It's small samples, but Kent and others are right on. Without Quick, it could have been really ugly this year for LA.
Quick is proving a lot of doubters wrong, including myself. He was so raw at first, but is really improving fundamentals quickly. He is a good goalie right now.
@Jonathan Willis
...bah double post
January 17 2012, 11:34AM
Hart needs to be changed to best player in the league not most valuable to his team.
January 17 2012, 12:09PM
Hart has to be Malkin IMO, theirs not much left on that roster.
Where is our GDB !! Its hockey night the beginning of a 2 game win streak ! actually ok, maybe not the beginning. You know what i mean...my fingers are too cold to type.
January 17 2012, 01:12PM
Picking up Giroux in my fantasy pool as a mid-round pick - good decision.
Taking a flyer on Crosby in the second round at 19th overall - bad decision.
Only 2 awards? What happened?
"part 1"
January 18 2012, 10:45AM
As good as Thomas has been in Boston, Rask has been even better.
Win% Thomas - .667 Rask - .734
GAA Thomas - 1.99 Rask - 1.61
Shutouts Thomas - 4 Rask - 3
SV% Thomas - .937 Rask - .948
While Thomas has started more games...27 to Rask's 18...Rask has been absolutely lights out.
Nice problem for the Bruins to have.
Must be nice to be a fan of the Bear they could be the first repeat Cup winner since who? Detroit!

By GARY ARRINGTON
Every so often, one must reflect on the stupid things that one does in his life and today is the day when I am reflecting back on some of those things that I have done this past year. I would like to think that the following recant is fairly accurate but I must confess that I am fairly positive that I have forgot some of those things due to mental stress.
I am going to start with the latest, as it is fresh on my mind. Recently, after having resisted all previous temptation to go, plus months of reminders from my wife, I went Christmas shopping. Now most guys I know do not like shopping if it is not at the tool store or a sporting goods store. I am no different. If I end up shopping, it is usually go in, find your stuff and get out. Lingering is not allowed.
Well, I went shopping. Not here in Emery County and no, not even at Wal-Mart in Price. I went all the way in and went to the mall in Orem after going to Costco.
The only good thing that occurred the entire time was buying gas at $1.27 a gallon. That one thing thrilled me enough to keep my head above water.
I should have known not to go into Costco when there were no shopping carts available. That would have been a good warning if one had been paying attention to detail. There were times in that store that I felt like a minnow in a big school of fish.
I got what I needed to get and tried to get out as I was frazzled. I eventually made it out alive.
After then driving to the mall next door, I let my wife out and went to park. I told her I would see her on the other end. Wrong. I got to the other end and there was nowhere to park. I started working my way up and down the aisles and soon found myself back to where I let her off with no place to park.
After deciding to stay with the car and wait in the back 40, I was informed by cell phone that that was unacceptable as it was my fault that we were even there in the first place.
After parking close to Costco, I went into the mall. My first stop was in a store where I was the only male, that is always a weird feeling. I sucked it up, got what I wanted and left. After several more purchases, I left the mall satisfied with my purchases. I am not sure that my kids will be satisfied though. Oh well, I tried. They should like gift cards.
As we left one more store closer to the freeway, my wife informed me that we needed to return to the mall. WHAT? &%$%####. There was no way I was going back and I didn't. I think I was mentally incapable. After a lengthy conversation, she gave in and we continued on our way away from the people.
I was going to give you a list but I decided that shopping in the city the weekend before Christmas had to be all of the top five stupid things I did for the year. If I ever do it again, you can rest assured that Alzheimer's has set in.

"This pair of shoes ran 2 sizes too small. I was so disappointed because for the price point, the silver had began to rub off the back of one of the shoes from sitting in the box. I would expect better quality from this designer. I always buy a size up when purchasing European designers, but this shoe was still at least another size small. It did run true to width. The heel was nice and sturdy and the ankle strap fit appropriately."

poor craftsmanship
"I loved the shoes at first, but the lining on both shoes slipped the first and only time I wore them. I was only able to wear them for a few hours (to my sister's wedding!) before I had to take them off- the lining on one shoe was bunched up by the time I was walking down the aisle at the end of the ceremony. DSW was great about taking them back and refunding my money though."

Cute tall sandals
"I usually wear size 7.5 or 8, but since they only had 8.5, I tried my luck. Glad I did, because they are perfect. They are a bit tall (4 inches), so I wouldn't recommend too much walking. However, they are adorable and comfortable for the height. I love the copper color too."

Having a lipo/charging circuit in each cube might be a little cluttered. Maybe just have a single "power cube" that supplies power to all other cubes.
Then i think that using a structure like a cube would severely limit the flexibility of the platform...

More than 30 years ago, fresh out of the military, and naïvely in search of high wages, risk and excitement, I arrived in Emery County looking for work in the coal industry. Other than a blurry stereotype, the work of a coal miner was an unknown. I had no preference for my new employment (union or nonunion); I wanted a job. By chance, my first work was at a union mine.
Over the next decade union mines were in trouble and many failed. Now, due to its ideal location near a coal burning power plant, only one union mine has survived, and it is contract time; a time when both sides look to improve their financial position.
In this session's negotiations the company has leverage over the union, with a twist. Their advantage is born from a contrived belief in man-made global warming. Coal is very uncool with President Obama and he freely uses his executive powers to disparage its continued use in our country. His Democrat Party had been an ally of the iconic coal miner with a black dust covered face, but now there is more money to be made supporting green planet savers.
Shrewd owners take advantage of this policy by promoting green energy, and making money from it whenever possible. This gives them an opportunity in labor negotiations to push harder for less payout to employees in carbon industries. They know the President's compliant media will not show favor towards carbon dependent unions in their reporting of any labor conflict; help unions have always received. The Democrat Party has moved on and found greener pastures to build on. They get the green gold mine, while coal miners get the shaft.

I can't click.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell computer using Wubi, so I am dual-booting with Windows XP. After finally getting into Ubuntu for the first time, the ability to click went away after I opened something. I could still move the mouse, and any button that I click on would be briefly highlighted, as if acknowledging that it had been pressed, but nothing would happen. I could still use the "Enter" key to substitute for clicking, but I kinda like clicking things. I fully updated, but still nothing. So I removed Ubuntu and reinstalled it (twice) only to encounter the exact same problem. I would sometimes spontaneously regain the ability to click for no apparent reason, but it would go away as soon as I moved onto a different window. I happen to have a DPI button built into my mouse, and whenever I press it - thus changing the DPI - I am magically able to click, although it still goes away in just the same way. I've searched the internet relentlessly for the answer, and the only thing I could find was a work-around which I already found out; changing the DPI. That's not really a very good work-around, though. What do I do?
Thanks, nerds. :)

Picture this: You've been diagnosed with cancer and the prognosis is not good. You've had to wait a year for surgery, meanwhile, the malignancy has spread.
Now you finally get to see a surgeon, and not one you've selected, but one that was selected for you. You're told, "It's too late. There's nothing we can do for you." You're refused any further treatment.
When you don't think you need to get away, that's exactly when you do. I just came back from vacation and I realized, after one day out of the office, I was past due.

Emily Massey is a small girl. She stands 5', 1" tall and weighs 95 pounds. But her size is perfect for her position in the sport of rowing. She's a coxswain. The medals she has won in the sport hang heavy around her slender neck and indicate that she is good at her job.
Massey, who graduated from Maclay School this year, has participated in rowing since the she was in sixth grade. In an area where football is king and basketball is queen, the sport of rowing attracts little attention.

A Quincy man who had pawned one ring at Mitch's Jewelry in Chiefland should have looked around for another shop before he tried to pawn a second one — this time a diamond and platinum ring valued at almost $13,000.
Chiefland Police Chief Robert Douglas said the suspect, Reginald Lydell Jones, 45, of McCall Bridge Road in Quincy, and Northwest Capital Circle in Tallahassee, was arrested July 18 and charged with dealing in stolen property, motor vehicle theft and resisting an officer without violence. Jones is incarcerated in Levy County Jail under a $79,500 bond.

The Saucony Guide 7 is a standard, daily running, support shoe designed for a moderate overpronated foot motion.
Take the support and cushioning you need for daily training and mix in a fast ride with the Saucony Guide 7. A full length PowerGrid insert soaks up impact and provides a responsive feel, while a dual density midsole combats overpronation. A breathable upper ensures a great fit, making the Guide 7 a great choice for any run, no matter the distance or pace.
Model Number:
Weight: 8.6 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: 28mm (Heel), 20mm (Forefoot)
Available Widths: B=Medium
How it Fits (based on width B)
The Guide 7 is a moderate featured, moderate support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage.
Comments: I used to be a fan of Guide 6, but Guide 7 doesn't work so well for me. Besides not fitting my foot nicely (they are too loose), I've experienced different pains since I've been wearing them: shin, ITB... nothing too bad fortunately. I could run without issues with Guide 6. In other words, I don't like Guide 7. I look forward to the Guide 8 upgrade, I still have faith in this shoe.
From: Isabel, OH, USA. October 6th 2014
Comments: These shoes feel good walking around, but they're a bit clunky during a run. They have only an 8 mm drop, which is supposed to encourage a more efficient midfoot strike. But it seemed to promote just the opposite response during a recent 3-mile trial run. The area under the ball of the foot is a bit more cushioned than say, the Mizuno Inspire. As a result, the Guide 7 feels bulky and the extra cushioning feels like it's pushing midfoot strikers into heel strikers. The toe box also is a bit more roomy than the Inspire, which may be fine for some runners. But if you are a narrow B, like I am, it's a bit too roomy. On the recent 3-mile trial run, I was fighting the Guide the entire time. The shoe isn't bad--it's just not for for some runners.

I have gotten so excited about Christmas decorations this year! I was really inspired by living up here near the mountains, seeing all the beautiful trees this fall, and just observing all the new nature around me. My parents came to visit for my mom's birthday, and I wanted everything to be really festive and magical for them, so I got busy and pulled the house together early this year. I made several fresh wreaths, swags, and such. I spraypainted branches with silver metallic paint for the Continue Reading

Etta News, August 18, 2010
The school bells have rung again and the students had to wake up earlier in the morning. No sleep ins for the school bus will be on the routes to pick them up for another term and the summer vacation from school has flown by. Time waits for no one as it rolls on from time to time so make good use of it and learn all you can because you are the tomorrow and hopefully some good leaders will develop for the community when the time comes for that.
The things for school transportation have changed very much since my early years in school. If one lived close enough to school the only transportation was walking but if not no buses only a covered wagon drawn by a team of mules and a bumpy ride if in cold weather when the grounds was frozen hard with the road surface like it was. Now in a bus and at school before long when then it would take some hours. What a difference between then and now with hard surfaced roads and better transportation. Something to be so thankful for along with many other things.
The hot temps for the last few days have been with us. One more thing to be so grateful for the electricity's use to keep us cool if in the house.
I sure enjoyed hearing Kris talk about so many places and things he and Jennifer experienced while on their vacation in Europe. But the best thing was they got back home safely. They will have those memories to look back over for years to come. Some places of interest he had read about in the Bible, they saw in person and made it more real.
Tom's brother from Hawaii time will soon be over and back home he will fly. Hopefully it will be a safe flight.
All the activities of VBS in the churches of the community are over too, and fall will be knocking on the doors soon for the beginning of another season of the year.
Friendship Church will be the host for the men's breakfast lst Sunday in Sept. and the Wednesday night services that has been on hold will began meeting again on August 25th.
Charles Collier filled the pulpit for our pastor, Bro. Kyle Ivy, Sunday morning. He was still at Maxwell Air Force Base fulfilling his duties there.
Get will wishes go out to all who are not up to par this hot weather and cooler days will arrive some of these days.
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination.

SLU Vaccine Researcher Named to NIH Panel
Belshe to Serve on NIAID Advisory Panel
ST. LOUIS -- Robert Belshe, M.D., director of Saint Louis University's Center for Vaccine Development, has been appointed to serve on the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) main advisory panel on allergies and infectious diseases.
|Robert Belshe, M.D.
The group offers a broad perspective on the health, science and human impact of diseases.
Belshe, the Dianna and J. Joseph Adorjan Endowed Professor of Infectious Diseases and Immunology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, will serve on the National Advisory Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NAAID) Council for four years.
He is one of 12 health and science experts in the nation who join six lay members in advising the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases on long-term planning and suggesting broad research priorities. The panel also evaluates NIAID programs and performs second-level reviews of some grants.
In addition to serving on the larger advisory panel, Belshe will be a member of the NAAID's microbiology and infectious diseases subcommittee.
Belshe is one of the foremost vaccine researchers in the country and has been on faculty at Saint Louis University since 1989. The principal investigator of the NIH-funded Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Unit at SLU and an expert in designing and executing clinical trials, Belshe has conducted extensive research on the antibody responses to viral vaccines for diseases including influenza, genital herpes and smallpox. His findings have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, The Lancet and PNAS, among other peer-reviewed medical journals.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, infectious disease, liver disease, aging and brain disease and heart/lung disease.

UPDATE: Thanks for everyone who emailed their help. I'll leave this post up here for now, but the code seems fairly solid now.
I'm currently looking for help editing the source code for the games that will go into my next book. This book will also be released under a Creative Commons license and be freely available.
Download the game source. (Requires Python & Pygame)
UPDATE: I've fixed a problem where the midi files for the Tetris game were left out of this zip. Redownload the zip file to get them.
The games are polished and (I'm fairly certain) bug-free. I'm looking for input on anything that could make the code more readable or easier for a beginner to understand. The code is meant to be simple, which is why I don't use list comprehensions, OOP, the and/or ternary trick. I aim for readable and simple above terse.
Generally, feedback about any bugs or places where you think more comments are needed would be great! You can send them to [email protected]

About those beach volleyball suits
Posted by Ron Judd
This subject has been hashed over many times, but still seems to hang out there: A couple female readers have written to question -- OK, protest -- the double standard in beach volleyball attire.
The girls wear bikini bottoms and halter sport tops. The boys wear trunks and tank tops. Why do the men need more coverage? Good question. One with no legitimate answer, at least in sports-performance terms.
What we're not clear on: Are you women protesting the lack of clothing on the women, or the excess of it on the males?
I'm guessing both.

On Phelps, Eric Heiden, and Olympic history
Posted by Ron Judd
Big response in the inbox this morning to today's newspaper column on Michael Phelps and his place in history. Most people say they appreciate the reminder of other great Olympians, and some have offered up suggestions of their own, which I'll post in a followup later. Thanks to all of you who have written.
(Thanks also to a few of you who pointed out a sentence that's not entirely clear in the column: When I noted that Carl Lewis won an "unprecedented" golds in a single event, the long jump, I meant that it was unprecedented in the long jump. Others, such as Al Oerter in the discuss, have won four straight in other pursuits.)
There were a few of the expected knee-jerk, how-dare-you-diminish-swimming responses: The usual "obviously you're not a swimmer" retorts from swimmers. One reader even angrily suggests I'm "running down" swimming out of abject ignorance, by diminishing the difficulty of mastering multiple strokes, or suggesting that the sport is "easy on the body."
Au contraire. As an Olympics writer, I've been chronicling, and praising, the incredible athleticism of elite swimmers for a long time. I don't recall ever writing, in my lifetime, that mastering multiple swim strokes was easy. I did say it was a more "natural" transition that switching between completely unrelated events, and it is. Some people will take that as an insult to swimmers. But some people take anything that's not gratuitous praise of their favorite hobby as an insult, so what can you do.
As I said in the column, I wrote it not to diminish, even in the slightest, what Phelps is accomplishing in Beijing. It's phenomenal, and, I believe, one of the most ingeniously choreographed -- by Phelps himself, and coach Bob Bowman -- athletic achievements ever at the Olympics. There's no denying it's one of the greatest single performances ever, at any Games. He has already established himself as the greatest swimmer of all time. And he obviously leads in the gold medal count.
But you can argue -- and most Olympic historians agree with this -- that when it comes to the "greatest Olympian" title, longevity should be a major factor, as should diversity of athleticism. That's what led me to point out some Olympians from the past who have dominated the way Phelps is dominating now, but over a longer period of time, and in more-diverse events.
My comparison of Phelps' single-Games performances versus others, such as Eric Heiden's sweep of the 1980 speedskating events at Lake Placid was a second argument, meant to illicit some creative debate, and it seems to have done just that. My wife, Emjay, who is also an Olympics nut, and I had the same argument last night that I filed the column.
Assuming Phelps wins his last individual event, both athletes will have won five individual -- as in, non-relay -- golds in a single Games. Phelps will be the first person to do that since Heiden. (Note: Mark Spitz won four individual medals, three relays.)
The differences:
Heiden performed at a much broader variety of distances: from 500 meters to 10,000. As I wrote, that's like winning the 100 meters, the 10K -- and everything in between -- in track, which is astonishing. Phelps' swimming distances vary from 100 to 400 meters, but he must swim four different strokes to get where he's going. Also amazing.
Does greater variety in distance trump varied technique that utilizes completely different muscle groups? I gave the edge to Heiden; Emjay was leaning more to Phelps.
There's no right answer. These things are, as I wrote, absolutely apples and oranges comparisons. But it's a fun argument, and it sheds some light on Olympic history, which in my book is always a good thing.
I guess I had Heiden on the brain because I just finished researching a book about the Winter Games, and it includes a lot of detailed, great-moments history. I watched Heiden's exploits on TV as a high-school punk, but had forgotten the unprecedented nature of what he had done until talking to people who saw it live.
An aside: Most people forget, or don't know, that Heiden, who by current standards was sort of laid back about all this, almost spoiled his own perfection by oversleeping and nearly missing his final race.
He had been out late the night before, reveling, with everyone else, in the Miracle on Ice U.S. hockey victory over the Soviet Union. He barely had time to do a warmup.
Unlike Phelps (and most other current athletes) Heiden hit the spotlight and then quickly ran out of it. He left the sport soon after the '80 Games, and turned down countless sponsorship opportunities to stay out of the limelight. He became an elite cyclist (ending when he suffered a concussion in the 1986 Tour de France), then a physician, and he now works as an orthopedic surgeon. Heiden has been the team doc for U.S. speedskating at the last couple Olympics. He sewed up Apolo Ohno's leg after a gash suffered in a fall in Salt Lake City.
With that, I open the floor to discussion on the above, and ask another question: Aside from the obvious (Spitz) are there other single-Olympic-Games performances that rank with these two? I can think of a couple contenders.

Lender crisis puts four O.C. hospitals at risk
The legal and financial woes of a Tustin medical lender could spread to four central Orange County hospitals.
Medical Capital Holdings - which a federal judge shut down Monday - defaulted earlier this year on $12.7 million in financing to Santa Ana-based Integrated Health Care Holdings Inc.
That loss threatens the future of IHHI, operator of Western Medical Center-Santa Ana and three other hospitals.
"Medical Capital's nonperformance is a huge issue," IHHI attorney David Robinson said Monday. "For the time being, things seem to have stabilized, but the company is very concerned."
In its latest public report, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, IHHI said Medical Capital's default creates "substantial doubt" about the hospital chain's ability to stay in business.
Medical Capital's attorney did not return two phone calls seeking comment.
The four IHHI hospitals play a critical role in the county's health care system.
Western Medical Center-Santa Ana runs one of three trauma centers countywide. It and the other IHHI-owned hospitals - Western Medical Center-Anaheim, Coastal Communities Hospital in Santa Ana and Chapman Medical Center in Orange - serve some of the county's poorest residents. Together the four hospitals have 762 beds, 12 percent of the county total.
IHHI in turn relies on Medical Capital. IHHI owes Medical Capital $81 million in long-term loans, and it has relied on the company for short-term cash as well.
Medical Capital buys billings, or receivables, from hospitals and other health care providers at a discount. That brings immediate cash to financially pressed hospital operators such as IHHI and profits for investors when the bills eventually are paid.
Over the past six years, Medical Capital has raised $2.2 billion from 20,000 investors to buy hospital receivables and other, more exotic investments including a 118-foot yacht.
The SEC sued Medical Capital and top officers Sidney M. Field and Joseph J. "Joey" Lampariello last month, alleging they defrauded investors. The SEC claimed they wrongfully diverted $18.5 million of investors' money and failed to tell investors about several defaults.
U.S. District Judge David O. Carter on Monday ordered the company to stop selling investments, froze its assets and installed a receiver to take charge of the books.
Medical Capital began defaulting on payments to investors a year ago. In letters to investors, filed in court by the SEC, the company blamed the defaults on "a temporary liquidity issue" stemming from slow payments and a shortage of new receivables.
The defaults angered investors and brokers. In a July 30, 2008, e-mail filed in court, Thomas Cross, a senior vice president at broker Securities America wrote, "This is beyond alarming for us. … I honestly fear a panicked run on the bank."
Meanwhile, according to IHHI's public filings, Medical Capital was also defaulting on payments to the hospitals.
During the last three months of 2008, IHHI reported in a Feb. 26 SEC report, Medical Capital failed to advance $13.2 million to IHHI under a $50 million credit line. By March Medical Capital had failed to advance $17 million.
Under its deal with IHHI, Medical Capital paid some cash up front for IHHI's receivables, advanced loans secured by those bills and paid additional money when the receivables were finally collected.
But beginning in early 2009, according to IHHI's public filings, Medical Capital stopped extending loans. Then it stopped making final payments when the receivables were collected.
By June 15, according to IHHI's annual report to the SEC, Medical Capital was holding onto $12.7 million more than its contract allowed.
In April IHHI declared Medical Capital in default. In May it won control of the crucial "lockbox" account where all payments of IHHI bills landed. Medical Capital had controlled that account until then.
The cash crunch has created severe problems for doctors and staff at IHHI hospitals, Chapman Chief of Staff Dr. John Luster said.
IHHI has fallen months behind paying some contract physicians and vendors, Luster said.
"What we are told by IHHI is that because of the unwillingness or inability of Medical Capital to release the money that they withheld, that the money isn't there," Luster said.
Luster said the hospitals "still are doing an exceptional job in difficult circumstances. They're getting the job done, and they haven't compromised any patient's experience of care."
But Luster said, as vendors go months without payment, they may refuse to deliver medical devices, forcing doctors and patients to go to other hospitals.

Three more Kindle tablets could spell trouble for Apple.
There are new reports, based on information coming from Taiwanese electronics manufacturers, that Amazon.com Inc. may be building three new Kindle tablets that would debut later this year. They would compliment Amazon's breakout first tablet, the Kindle Fire. Amazon reports it has sold millions of Kindle Fire tablets.
The device is the first real competitor to Apple Inc.'s market-dominating iPad. Like Apple, Amazon.com has created a mobile ecosystem around its tablet. The Fire comes connected to a user's Amazon account and, with a few taps, can buy a nearly endless supply of digital content from Amazon. The Kindle Fire and the iPad are designed for media consumption, and they come enmeshed in vast media empires.
This is where other tablet manufacturers have failed. None of their devices have come with a world all their own. And none of them have had retail and m-commerce powerhouses like Apple and Amazon behind them.
I believe three new Kindle tablets could score a direct hit on Apple because they would offer different sizes and prices and would live in the successful Amazon ecosystem. Reports say that one of the new Amazon tablets will have a high-resolution screen nearly nine inches in size. That comes very close to the iPad's 9.7-inch screen. If anyone can give Apple a run for its money, it's Amazon. And if reports are true, Amazon plans to do just that.
Just this morning I was talking with the director of marketing at e-retailer Gilt Groupe. He passed along a surprise: The company has built a Kindle Fire app. That's amazing news, as few retailers, so far, have focused on the Fire. All attention is on the iPad. But that soon may change if Amazon floods the market in 2012 with a load of new tablets.
Keep your eye on the Kindle Fire. It's become very popular. And keep your ear to the ground for rumblings of new tablets from Amazon. Just like Apple, it seems like anything Amazon touches turns to gold. So be prepared for a tablet war—and be ready to build two tablet apps, not just one.

Great sandal
"Love everything about this shoe, with the exception of the light cream sole. They should have made sole a medium to dark color. The navy is a rich color than what's shown. The fit is true to size & they're very comfy. You can wear casual or dressy casual. I would give a 5 star rating if not for light color sole."

Very Comfy
"I bought these because of other reviews. I wear size 8M but ordered 9M because of prior reviews and they fit perfectly, so be sure to order a size up. They're very attractive and look nice with shorts and jeans. Oh yes, they are ever soooo comfortable."

In a move that isn't all that shocking or alarming, Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey confirmed what was expected as the team gets ready for their first practice of training camp on Thursday.
Even though the job is still up for grabs, incumbent starter Donald Jones will open up camp as the number-two wide receiver.
"Donald will start there. But still, we're looking at everybody. We've not ruled anybody out at this point at that spot. You've got to have somebody that walks out there the first day and you all will write about it and talk about it, but we're going to move people around at different times at camp," Gailey remarked.
Jones will be in a battle with fellow wideouts Derek Hagan, T.J. Graham, Marcus Easley and others for the "starting" position.
Being the number-two in the Bills system is just a labeling mechanism anyway. Most times the Bills will be in three-to-four wide receiver sets, meaning plenty of players will get plenty of repetitions.
Regardless, the battle for that spot is one of the positions that will be looked at the most over the course of the next three weeks.

Didn't Work For Me.The color is amazing for colored brown hair.
It even hides those reddish tones that come-out by the end of your color lifespan.
And the QTY -- excellent; I could get a good 15 uses from this.
And then it goes downhill from there..
-- Got all over my carpet and sink, no matter how careful I was.
- Thank goodness the carpet stains were removable with "Folex"..
-- My 2 feet of brown, colored hair gets oily within 1 day -- didn't fix it.
- My hair got gunkier when product was applied.. thick, gross mess.
- Perhaps this is the result only for people with really oily hair like mine?
-- Got in my nails / on bed pillow / on shirt / and anything that touched my hair.
- Every time I ran my fingers through my hair, I had brown gunk on them.
I'm so surprised no one else mentions these other attributes, as this is a very expensive product. If you have hair that gets oily w/in a day, use something like a dry shampoo spray. I found another product line that was in fact a dry shampoo spray -- and found it doesn't get all over the place as well as works amazingly well on my type of hair. No gunky hair; used it repetedly for 3 days and my hair looked clean, soft, and shiney.. and no trail of brown where-ever my hair touched things - including clean nails and fingers.
However - I did keep the product (as I used a lot of it over 2 weeks in the hopes that the problems were just new-timer-related) .. and I WILL use it for a quick fix-me for those red hairs should an audition pop-up at the end of a hair coloring month; the color is, again, undeniably nice.Jul 18, 2012Elaine C.HAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Oily Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Chalkless CleanVery good product. Used it on vacation and it worked well. I didn't get that dull chalky powdery look on my hair as the color blended in nicely... Couldn't ask for more out of a dry shampoo. (Maybe that it could be a bit cheaper.) I highly recommend it.May 3, 2012Milly

It Actually WorksI've been trying to find a dry shampoo for a while, and this stuff is really good. It does make my hair a little dull looking, but I brushed it through a little and it blended in beautifully with the rest of my hair. The applicator brush is easy to use and the powder itself really great. I will definitely buy it again when I run out.Dec 5, 2011Chloe / Los AngelesHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

Us Men Like To Look Good Too!I saw my girl using this a lot lately so she didn't have to wash her hair everydy. At first, I tried it for the same reason, but I use it every day now to my hair fuller. I actualy used to hate puting stuff in my hair cus its always sticky, junky, or hard and nothing helps it look better anyways. But Im feeling a little self conious about my looks and hairline now that im getting a little older. Hey us men like to look and feel good too! This stuff is the total opposite of what i thought hair products are supposed to look and feel like for guys. I even showed this to my hairstylist cus she asked what i had been taking to thicken my hair as if i changed my diet. She even got excited about it and said she's been recomending it to other male of hers now.Nov 18, 2011Donnie L. / INHAIR TYPEDark Brown

Got Ambiance Dry Shampoo? I'm Good To Go!As an actress, voice-over artist, host, and mother, I find that reliable products are the key to managing a fast-paced life. On same days, I'll have a commercial, then a V.O. job, then a television audition, then a PR event and my 9-year-old's Science Project to help with! I have long, curly hair which I sometimes blow-dry straight. I like to "refresh" my hair with Ambiance Dry Shampoo while at the same time I'm saving my natural curl by not over washing/blowdrying it. This Dry Shampoo smells great, doesn't leave a white "talc" residue but blends with my shade of color (and even aids covering grays between salon visits!), and it stays where I put it, thanks to a fabulous, thick brush that lightly disperses the dry shampoo. Definitely, its a keeper!

I Can't Believe It Conceals My Roots!! My Color Lasts Longer!O.k., I was really skeptical about the whole dry shampoo idea, but I decided to try it. I'm so glad I got to try Ambiance Dry Shampoo! First of all, it completely lives up to all the claims on the box! And hello? Who doesn't want 100% natural these days? My hair is so fine and when I use this stuff, it's like I have twice the hair! I love the way it smells and I love that I don't have to go through blowing my hair dry and curly it EVERY SINGLE DAY ANYMORE!!
But here's the real thing, it CONCEALS MY ROOTS!! My husband was laid off a year ago and money has been so tight. I hate having to wait so long to get my hair colored but these days, I have to. It almost makes me want to cry but this product actually makes my roots DISAPPEAR!!
LOL! I don't usually go on and on about products but I just really like looking my best and I love that there's a product that can help me save money!
So, ladies, go get some!!!Oct 3, 2011Ellie P. / Suffolk, VAHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Best Ever!As a Hairstylist/stay at home mama/blogger and avid product reviewer, I have tried a number of different dry shampoos. I am always looking for a way to get out of shampooing my hair every day. Ambiance Brunette Volumizing Dry Shampoo has nailed it! This is the first dry shampoo that I have used that isn't a mess to apply, super fresh scented, invisible in the hair and small enough for me to carry around. Not to mention, it absorbs any oils that I may be lugging around on my head! It is honestly like I sent my head to the dry cleaners. To make it even better, their customer service/relations is phenomenal. I am obsessed and recommend this to everyone I know.Sep 12, 2011Kristy

Jennifer is a one in a million stay-at-home mom. (More like one OF a million stay at home moms!) She graduated from a liberal arts college but there is nothing liberal OR artsy about her. She is married to Kevin Fischer of This Just In, and together they have a beautiful young daughter Kyla Audrey. In no particular order she loves dogs, wine, a good bargain, her family, pizza, and entertaining. Follow her blog of all things miscellaneous including but not limited to cooking and baking, entertaining and party planning, being a mommy, and homekeeping.
I can barely SPELL "football" but...
On my Facebook page my profile picture is:
My cover photo is:
South Bend Santa made a stop at our house this year and we wore these on Christmas Day to Kevin's cousin's house. (Oh, did I mention his cousin is an alum? He went bonkers over them!)
Obviously we're not soaking up the sun & fun in Miami (like our lucky, aforementioned cousin) for this momentous occasion. But the Fischer household will be full of spirit tonight! Kyla will be cheering "Go, Irish!" with her blue pom poms in hand. Kevin will be glued to the TV of course. I'll be serving some special treats with these paper items:
And yes, champagne is chilling in the fridge.
For a girl who wouldn't know a football if it hit her in the head, I am quite the Notre Dame fan. It's impossible not to be in our house: Kevin's Irish heritage; our Catholic faith; Kevin's love of college football in general; the incredible history of Notre Dame University and of course their amazing season that was…
I know that Kyla is a decade-and-a-half away from attending college. Still, it's never too early to think about these things. That's why I whole-heartedly support her shaking those poms during every game. You just never know where it could lead:

By JOAN POWELLWellington
We attended a local meeting in Emery County a couple of weeks ago. It is for the purpose of Emery County presenting their ideas towards their own wilderness bill, like Washington County did, rather than having SUWA and associates presenting their views, and their views only, and we are all supposed to accept it. We already know and feel the effects of their ideas. And I dare say, we do not like it, or agree with it. But, the big question is what are you doing about it? There were 28 people in attendance of this meeting.
I would dare say, there were more people from out of the Emery County area there, than there was original people. I'm sure they are thinking, well, here we go again. This public lands battle will never end, I repeat, never end. We will always be battling for what is right. USA-ALL was there, At Your Leisure was there and even four gentlemen from Cache County were there. That was almost one-fourth of the people that were there. What does that tell you?
You have another chance for another meeting on Aug. 12. At a Family Home Evening the other night, our lesson for the night was, what happened to the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence after they had the courage to stand up for what they thought was right. It was an eye opener. It was presented by Rush Limbaugh Jr. Here are a couple of quotes: "Of those 56 who signed the Declaration of Independence, nine died of wounds or hardships during the war. Five were captured and imprisioned, in each case with brutal treatment. Several lost wives, sons, or entire families. One lost his 13 children. Two wives were brutally treated. All were at one time or another the victims of manhunts and driven from their homes. Twelve signers had their homes completely burned. Seventeen lost all they owned. Yet not one defected or went back on his pledged word. Their honor, and the nation they sacrificed so much to create is still intact."
There is no more profound sentence that this: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
I know we are experiencing more and more, the elimination of our rights. We are coming slowly, but surely, to a point of complete take over. We can do something about this. It involves more that just sitting in our air-conditioned homes, watching the big screen T.V.'s we all own. It means giving of your time and means to fight back against the people who will not stop at trying to find ways to eliminate the freedoms we used to enjoy. We've had a great number of people who are sacrificing their personal time and a lot of their own money to fight for what is right. Are you among them? Or are you the whiners, always thinking it's a sinking ship? And I can't do anything to help.
Well, you can, but you have to have a burning desire to do so. You can go to this next meeting in Emery County, come on, if those men from Cache Valley can come, if At Your Leisure can come, and USA-All can come, and express their desires to keep things open...you can certainly make it also.

The use of a semi-automatic electric gun which shoots BB like projectiles has resulted in the expulsion of a female student from Emery High. An incident recently took place in a P.E. class where another female was struck in the back of the head with a BB from an air gun. Another female student reported the incident to Vice Principal Kelly Alton who questioned the female who had been shot. She indicated she had a headache and there was a red spot where she had been hit.
The female being identified as the shooter was brought in for questioning and denied involvement in the shooting incident. Alton requested she empty out her pockets and purse and her locker was also checked for evidence of a weapon. Nothing was found in the locker, but approximately 24 of the BBs were found in her purse. She said she had just gathered the BBs in the Spartan Center and put them in her purse.
The girl was sent back to class and she happened to be in the same class as the girl who had been shot. She reportedly confronted the girl who had been shot and asked her why she told she had been shot. She began using bad language and the teacher in the class immediately took the girl to the principal's office. She was suspended for the use of bad language and the pending investigation of the gun incident.
School authorities then called law enforcement to investigate the incident. Over the past several weeks students have been shot with the bbs at school. School authorities want everyone to know the school has a zero tolerance policy on weapons at school. Any type of a weapon and facsimiles of firearms are strictly off limits at school.
Emery High Principal Gwen Callahan said, "We are concerned for the safety of our students. These types of weapons will not be tolerated on the school grounds and at any of our activities. We are also concerned for the safety of students having these guns. They look like a real gun and you could put yourself in danger from a police officer thinking it is a real weapon. Don't bring them to school, we won't tolerate them and all cases will be turned over to the sheriff's office for investigation."
These types of weapons are not just toys and are considered very dangerous. The warning label on the guns say the misuse or unsafe use may cause severe injuries or death and they are not to be shot at humans or animals, only targets.
Emery County Sheriff Lamar Guymon said, "We do not want any students hurt or expelled and the students and parents need to understand that weapons of any kind are not to be brought into the school. Students wanting to participate in these types of activities with these guns should go to the desert or somewhere, do not bring them to school."
Callahan said, "We will be forced to take action if they are brought to school. We want to protect all of the students and we just want to make the parents aware of what our concerns are with this. Talk to your students about these guns and make sure they know they can't bring them to school. We don't want them in the vehicles out in the parking lots either. We are obligated by law to notify law enforcement and there will be serious consequences for violators."
The sheriff's office is also concerned with the look-alike guns and how closely they replicate a real gun. Students have also been removing the red caps off the toy pistols which makes them even more real looking.
Callahan said, "We want students to feel safe at school, the girl who was shot no longer felt safe."
