It's old -- almost two weeks old, which makes it paleolithic by blogosphere standards, but Dean Ornish had a great article in Newsweek titled "The Collapse of Primary Care."
While nothing in the article is new or surprising to readers of this blog (or Kevin's), it's cogent and well-written, and I think of significance because it shows how the, well, the impending collapse of primary care in the US is percolating up to the forefront of the public consciousness. A groundswell of consensus opinion that the system is broken and needs to be fixed is a necessary precondition for fundamental reform.
More like this please.

Thanks for posting this!ReplyDelete
Its a great article for which I can testify to be true: I was discouraged from entering medicine by more senior MD's, and noticed most US grads with whom I spoke aimed near exclusively for highly paid specialties (while FMG's aimed for FP, IM, Peds, Psych spots.) I, however, dont fault people for wanting to make a good living but do agree the reimbursement process is skewed.

What Is Reasonable, But Not NecessaryReplyDelete
In recent times, others have appeared to express concern about the apparent shortage of primary care doctors in the United States. Both presently as well as in the years to come, others speculate that the shortage of primary care doctors will continue to progress to even greater absence of PCPs that what exists now. Less than 20 percent of medical school graduates go for primary care as a specialty as a residency program today, it has been reported.
Typically, the main reason believed by many is lack of pay compared with other medical specialties. Some anticipate a shortage of 60 thousand or so primary care doctors in the future within the United States. The PCP doctors who practice right now would not recommend their specialty, or their profession, it has been reported. I believe their value as PCPs has not been acknowledged to them as it should, nor is there income where it should be for what they do.
It is estimated that the U.S. needs presently tens of thousands more primary care physicians to fully satisfy the necessities of those members of the U.S. public health- the U.S. citizens. Ironically, PCPs have been determined to be and likely are the backbone of the U.S. Health care system- they are specialists of everything medically.
For example, PCPs manage the many chronically ill patients, who benefit the most from the much needed coordination and continuity of care that PCPs historically have strived to provide for them. Nearly half of the U.S. population has at least one chronic illness- with many of those having more than one of these types of these illnesses. A good portion of these very ill patients have numerous illnesses that are chronic, and this is responsible for well over 50 percent of the entire Medicare budget, who are largely cared and treated by PCPs.
The shortage of primary care physicians is possibly due to other variables as well- such as administrative hassles that are quite vexing for the physician vocation overall- along with ever increasing patient loads that is complicated by the progressively increasing cost to provide care for their patients due to decreasing reimbursements from various organizations the doctors receive for the services they provide.
For reasons such as this, it is believed that some PCPs are retiring early, or simply seeking an alternative career path. As mentioned earlier, the PCP specialty is not desirable choice for a late stage medical student, so this is quite concerning to the public health in the United States. The number of medical school graduates entering family practice residencies has decreased by about half over the past decade or so. PCPs also have extensive student loans from their training to complicate their rather excessive workloads as caregivers with decreased pay, so I can understand if they are a bit demoralized.
Despite the shortage of these doctors, primary care physicians do in fact care for the populations they serve and are dedicated to their welfare and restoration of their health, as difficult as it may be for them at times. Studies have shown that mortality rates would decrease due to increased patient outcomes if there were more PCPs to serve those in need of treatment.
This specialty would also optimize preventative care more for their patients. Studies have also shown that, if enough PCPs are practicing in a given geographical area, hospital admissions are decreased, as well as visits to emergency rooms. This is due to the ideal continuity in health care these PCPs provide if numbered correctly to serve a given population of citizens.
In addition, PCP care has proven to improve the quality of care given to patients, as well as the outcomes for these patients as a result are more favorable. Most importantly, the overall quality of life for their patients is much improved if there are enough PCPs to handle the overwhelming load of responsibility they presently have due to this shortage of their specialty that is suppose to increase mildly if at all in the years to come.
The American College of Physicians believes that a patient- centered national health care workforce policy is needed to address these issues that would ideally be of most benefit for the public health. Policymakers should take this into serious consideration.

Tony Johnson Wins 2011 Bee
Georgia native takes home $5000 prize after knocking out two past champs
He might have been No. 7 but luck had nothing to do with Tony Johnson capturing the 2011 AARP National Spelling Bee. Johnson, 58, a self-confessed "dictionary browser" knocked out two past champs to take home the $5,000 prize.
See also: 2011 Spelling Bee highlights slide show.
The LaGrange, Ga., native won on the seemingly "easy" word uakari but that was after 39 rounds. He breezed through toughies like agammaglobulinemic, pogonophoran, kerygmatic, polyonymous, never missing a word during the oral section. (He missed 1 out of the 100-word written section) It was his second time participating – he finished 5th last year.
So, how did he do it? "I got systematic about reading the dictionary, everyday," he said. After missing two technical words last year, Johnson, a private practice psychologist, got a bit more technical in his approach.
Johnson got a boost in studying after last year from the 2010 champ, Scott Firebaugh, who, after capturing the title last year said he wasn't going to come back, finished third. Johnson joined Firebaugh's study club to get tips and practice with fellow word nerds. "When I found out Scott was coming back, I didn't sleep well, I got to admit that."
Firebaugh got caught in phonetics of aphaeretic. "Tony deserved to win," he said. "He didn't skip a beat all day."
Second place winner Mike Petrina of Arlington, Va., also tipped his hat to Johnson. "Tony earned it." Petrina, who grabbed the title in 2009, got tripped up on uncinariasis. "I had it in my mind it was connected with an 'o' instead of an 'a,'" he said, admitting that it was a relief to be over.
Bee organizers told the participants they broke out the toughest words in the 16 year history. And they delivered. But that's not deterring folks for next year.
"Time to get studying for next year," one participant said.
As for Johnson's five grand prize? "Oh, my girlfriend has some plans for that," he said with a smile.

For much of her life as a triathlete, Michelle Mehnert has been racing from behind.
But not this year.
Mehnert won the Olympic-distance USA Triathlon collegiate national title earlier this month, with a comfortable lead out front.
Before this year, the University of Colorado graduate student had no hills to ride on. She grew up in Champaign, Ill., home to the University of Illinois, a lot of cornfields and not much triathlon culture. Mehnert bought her first bike at a garage sale, then cobbled together her second from busted bikes left on campus over summer break when she was 15.
As an undergraduate at Illinois, Mehnert swam for the school's Division 1 varsity team for four years, which pushed triathlon to the backburner for much of the year.
And then there were nagging heart palpitations and arm pain that caused her to bomb during races, symptoms that no coach had ever identified as something serious. She'd wake up from naps, her heart racing at 180, 200 beats per minute. The summer before her senior year at Illinois, she learned about a heart defect that caused her body's engine to sputter during races, she said, and would lead to a stroke at age 25 if not addressed.
So Mehnert fixed her broken heart, left the Midwestern cornfields for Boulder's Flatirons and worked several jobs while going to school to buy a new bike.
Now, she's coming to terms with racing at the front of the pack.
'Small town kid who trains in corn fields'
Mehnert is what college students like to call a "townie."
She was born and raised in Champaign, home to the Illini. Both her parents got various degrees in engineering from the university, so it seemed natural for Mehnert to attend Illinois.
Both marathoners, Ed and Brenda Mehnert discouraged their daughter from running long distances at a young age because they didn't want the sport to affect her body's development.
When she was 12, she begged them to let her compete in a short triathlon hosted by the city's park district. The first year she competed, she finished. The second year, she beat her marathon-running dad. On her third try, she won.
"My goal growing up was always to go to the Olympics," Mehnert said. "I didn't know what (sport). I didn't really care what. I just wanted to go."
She tried gymnastics, but grew too tall for the sport. Next came swimming, but she was too short. She even tried figure skating for a shot at the winter games.
But after winning Champaign's mini triathlon, she decided to stick with it. As a teenager, her parents drove her to Chicago for races where she was shocked to find entire teams of young triathletes, like the Multisport Magnasquad, who had coaches and resources.
Mehnert didn't know she needed bike shoes or a race kit.
"You mean I can't just race in my two-piece?" she said, laughing.
Mehnert looked at Olympians like Julie Dibens and Laura Bennett, who both swam in college. To get to the Olympics, Mehnert decided, she should be a collegiate swimmer.
At Illinois, she competed in freestyle and individual medley events during swim season and competed for the Illinois club triathlon team in the off season. In both pursuits, Mehnert never quite reached what she thought was her potential.
'My heart was beating out of my chest'
The summer before her senior year at Illinois, Mehnert competed in an Ironman70.3 race, often four to eight hours of grueling punishment. She was a mess afterward, she remembers.
After being tested for mononucleosis and sent to a psychologist for what coaches thought were race-day nerves, a cardiologist showed her an electrocardiogram of her heart beat.
"I saw it and said, 'That doesn't look like a heart beat,'" she said.
She was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. An extra electrical pathway was causing only the top half of her heart to beat most of the time. It wasn't able to pump as much blood as her body needed, so it would beat like crazy to make up the difference.
In January 2012, doctors burned out the extra electrical pathway, and Mehnert's heart had to relearn how to beat. During that process, her heart often tried to fire along the now-removed electrical pathway and failed.
"Your heart skips a beat," she said. "As much as the songs, whatever, romanticize your heart skipping a beat, it's not fun. It feels like you're being punched in the chest."
Doctors told her after the procedure, her heart would be 15 to 20 percent more efficient.
A second chance
Heart restored, Mehnert graduated from Illinois and packed her life up for graduate school at CU-Boulder.
Now 23, Mehnert immediately began training with the 14-time national champion CU triathlon team. Because of her swimming background, she trained mostly with "the guys" on the team, who she says are now like her brothers.
Coach Mike Ricci said when he first met Mehnert, he didn't have any expectations for her, other than her swimming capabilities. She'd never had a full six months to devote solely to triathlon training while swimming at Illinois.
After some of the team's time trials, Mehnert knew she had a shot at placing high at nationals. When the team trekked down to Lake Havasu, Ariz., for conference championships, Mehnert won by more than three minutes.
Her mom Brenda Mehnert credits Michelle's wins to a renewed faith in her own body and powers.
"(The surgery's) given her a lot of confidence, too," Brenda Mehnert said. "'OK, now I have a complete body, a complete heart. I can do well.'"
At nationals in Tempe, Ariz., Mehnert's old Illinois triathlon club teammates watched, awestruck, as she crossed the finish line and broke through the race banner first.
'Whatever makes her happy'
Her graduate degree in civil and environmental engineering should take a year and a half to complete, so Mehnert has a few more chances to defend her title. After she finishes school, Mehnert doesn't know yet whether she'll pursue triathlon full-time.
Her parents have always advocated for education. Her dad has a Ph.D and works as Illinois' senior hydrologist, while her mom has her master's degree and works for the Army Corps of Engineers. But after watching her win in Tempe, they're realizing her triathlon potential.
"Whatever makes her happy," Ed Mehnert said. "She's got a unique opportunity here, and it's her dream so she's got to chase it. We want the best for our kids, and if that means being a triathlete and traveling the world -- she wants to be in the Olympics. How do you say no to that?"
Her teammate Davide Giardini, who's pursuing his MBA at CU, agreed:
"Being in the same point in my life, I feel like (pursuing triathlon is) the right decision," he said. "If I had the opportunity, if I had just won collegiate nationals, I would definitely try and pursue a career in the sport."
The national title did prove to her that she has what it takes to make it in the sport if she chooses. Being a part of the CU triathlon team has been her second shot as an athlete, with a brand new heart, to see how far she can push herself.
"Looking back at my swimming career, what happened?" she said. "As an athlete, you always want to find out how fast you can go. I spent 16 years swimming with pretty much my legs tied together. Triathlon has given me a second chance to actually find out what I'm capable of. Do I have what it takes to be the best in the country? Yeah. Do I have what it takes to be the best in the world? We'll find out."

Barra gives advice on professional success to graduates
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- General Motors CEO Mary Barra delivered the University of Michigan's spring commencement address Saturday, receiving an honorary degree in engineering and imparting lessons for professional success to more than 5,000 graduates in Michigan Stadium.
Her prepared speech made no mention of GM or the company's ongoing recall crisis, instead focusing on the future path for the generation entering the workforce.
"Be open to opportunities as they occur," Barra said. "Each new experience will broaden your skills and perspectives. Embrace them. Enjoy them. And sometimes you'll have to overcome them."
Barra has been in the national spotlight since she was named successor to outgoing CEO Dan Akerson on Dec. 10 -- becoming the first female CEO of a major automaker when she assumed the position in January. Time magazine featured her on the cover of its issue on the 100 most influential people in the world. She also landed spots on the lists of the world's most powerful women published by Forbes and Fortune magazines.
U-M announced in March that Barra was to deliver the commencement address Thursday. Two student groups, the Graduate Employees Organization and the Student Union, issued a resolution that requested the university to reconsider the speaker choice.
The resolution cited Barra's leadership in the recall and an alleged firing of injured workers in a Colombian plant as evidence that she does not represent the school's values.
Recall crisis
The groundswell of interest and accolades that greeted Barra when she took over in January as the auto industry's first female CEO dissipated quickly amid GM's recall crisis. The company is the subject of at least four federal investigations into its handling of a faulty ignition switch, which has been linked to at least 13 deaths and 35 crashes in Chevy Cobalts and Saturn Ions from the mid-2000s.
Since GM recalled the cars in February, Barra has apologized personally to victims' families and vowed to uncover why it took the company a decade to pinpoint the problem. She also has restructured GM's engineering division and appointed a new safety czar to help prevent future safety lapses.
Barra appeared before congressional hearings in Washington April 1-2 to testify on the handling of the recall.
Barra, in her prepared speech, did hint at the challenges she has faced over the past months.
'Hope is not a strategy'
"Remember that hope is not a strategy," she said. "Problems don't go away when you ignore them -- they tend to get bigger."
Barra acknowledged the high competition that has come with technological growth, and outlined six lessons for success: the value of passion and hard work, behaving with integrity, building relationships, facing challenges directly, giving back and the importance of friends, family and faith.
"As I'm sure you know very well, these skills [that you have learned at Michigan] are just the start of what you need for success in today's challenging and fast-paced world," Barra said.
"They are the price of admission to today's fast-paced, ever-changing, and ever-global economy. To stand out … to really make a difference … you will also need the kind of skills and qualities that most of us learn from experience and over time."

Some of you may have noticed an increase in precipitation over the past month or so. Meteorologists have put it down to the high-altitude jet stream that normally guides the movement of weather across the country being slightly south of its normal position- an explanation that may suffice for those of us willing to settle for a simple, evidently logical answer, but for those looking for a more challenging account of what's going on, the folks over at trainjotting have uncovered a much more sinister explanation.
According to their blog post, Ezekiel Marcus, more commonly referred to as the "West Side Cowboy", fell to his death off the High Line between Gansevoort and Horatio, on what is now known as Washington Street. Some 75 years later, Mr. Marcus is said to have appeared to co-founders Joshua David and Robert Hammond as an apparition, wearing a suede cap and black corduroy pants, informing them both in a gravelly voice to "leave well enough alone."
Hammond, a painter, said he was on the phone with the actor Edward Norton, an early champion on the High Line, in his apartment when the ghost of Marcus slipped through a heating duct in his kitchen.
"He told me the same thing he told Joshua–leave it alone," Hammond told a class studying the paranormal at Penn State in 2006. "He said he'd make it rain every day if the place of his death was trampled upon by the masses. I dropped my damn cellphone and had to wait about 20 minutes before I collected myself enough to call Edward back. Even then, I was shaking like a leaf."
(Mr. David and Mr. Hammond could not be reached for comment on the validity of these alleged remarks)
It has rained for almost two full weeks since the park opened. Curse or coincidence?

I just looked over my blog post from November on giving students what they want, and am laughing at my vehemence, a little bit. I was all sorts of wrought up, and somehow managed to miss some important points in my rush to post. Can we blame it on being a new blogger, and allow a small redux? (and yes, I'll think bout what this says about blogging as a form of scholarship…)
There's a sentence in the last paragraph that I don't really stand behind:
Which is all to say that I will never be persuaded by the argument that "it's what the students want" when it comes to research and research tools in the domain of the library.
What I should have said is that the sentiment alone will never be compelling to me, as regards library information resource changes. And it certainly doesn't carry much weight if a tiny number of students were carefully led to the statement.
But: if students (in any number, really) want more outlets, longer hours, more comfortable seating, a vending machine for USB drives and pens, I'm right there — they know what they need in terms of study space and study tools, and I'm happy to seriously investigate the feasibility of filling those needs. However, if my training and experience as a librarian doesn't carry more weight than student wants in terms of complex information resources, then I'm not sure where I stand as a professional.
One thing I do stand for as a professional, though, is a willingness to take students seriously. And I was being too reactive about a meeting I had just come from to address the part of the equation. If the students say they want something (like, say, the ability to search all our resources at one time, or a customizable library portal) I am willing to look at that desire, with the eyes of a librarian, and try to see if it's either possible or desirable. Is it pedagogically appropriate for a college library? Will it help users do effective research? Will it be at least as effective as out current methods? What will it cost? Does it solve any problems we're already looking to solve?
I do think that gutting the effective parts of effective search tools to give students what they want so they won't have to think or learn is a form of pandering. And I don't think that's going to change.

Austen Truths "Universally Acknowledged"
What do Somerset Maugham, Virginia Woolf, and C.S. Lewis think about Jane Austen's novels? Find out in Susannah Carson's newly published anthology, A Truth Universally Acknowledged: 33 Great Writers on Why We Read Jane Austen.
Here's the product description from Amazon:
For so many of us a Jane Austen novel is much more than the epitome of a great read. It is a delight and a solace, a challenge and a reward, and perhaps even an obsession. For two centuries Austen has enthralled readers. Few other authors can claim as many fans or as much devotion. So why are we so fascinated with her novels? What is it about her prose that has made Jane Austen so universally beloved?
In essays culled from the last one hundred years of criticism juxtaposed with new pieces by some of today's most popular novelists and essayists, Jane Austen's writing is examined and discussed, from her witty dialogue to the arc and sweep of her story lines. Great authors and literary critics of the past offer insights into the timelessness of her moral truths while highlighting the unique confines of the society in which she composed her novels. Virginia Woolf examines Austen's maturation as an artist and speculates on how her writing would have changed if she'd lived twenty more years, while C. S. Lewis celebrates Austen's mirthful, ironic take on traditional values.
Modern voices celebrate Austen's amazing legacy with an equal amount of eloquence and enthusiasm. Fay Weldon reads Mansfield Park as an interpretation of Austen's own struggle to be as "good" as Fanny Price. Anna Quindlen examines the enduring issues of social pressure and gender politics that make Pride and Prejudice as vital today as ever. Alain de Botton praises Mansfield Park for the way it turns Austen's societal hierarchy on its head. Amy Bloom finds parallels between the world of Persuasion and Austen's own life. And Amy Heckerling reveals how she transformed the characters of Emma into denizens of 1990s Beverly Hills for her comedy Clueless. From Harold Bloom to Martin Amis, Somerset Maugham to Jay McInerney, Eudora Welty to Margot Livesey, each writer here reflects on Austen's place in both the literary canon and our cultural imagination.
We read, and then reread, our favorite Austen novels to connect with both her world and our own. Because, as A Truth Universally Acknowledged so eloquently demonstrates, the only thing better than reading a Jane Austen novel is finding in our own lives her humor, emotion, and love.
Here's an adapted excerpt from James Collins that ran in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week.

Long Island's aging infrastructure presents great challenges in storms like this one. Many of the countless trees that fell have been standing for 50 years or more. Parts of the electrical grid are outdated. Right now, while money is tight, elected officials must begin looking at ways to upgrade the infrastructure so that it can better withstand such a beating, by take preventive measures like clearing out dead and dying trees.
The county and local governments can count on receiving state and federal assistance to help rebuild. That money must be spent wisely, to not only repair, but also improve.
The Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant failed during the storm, and officials need to investigate why the redundancies in the system didn't work. The Cedar Creek plant in Wantagh, which was also subjected to a storm surge, continued to operate. We need to find out why.
A day before the storm hit, the county ordered evacuations of low-lying coastal areas. While they were called mandatory, they were anything but, and many people stayed behind in their homes, in harm's way. We need to have an honest discussion about what the county is and is not prepared to do to enforce such an order in our most at-risk communities. An evacuation plan is one thing — and the county has that covered — but the power, and the capability, to make sure those in danger get out of their homes and to safer places is something else altogether. The county opened about a half-dozen shelters during the storm. Next time, it should double that number.
It's good that our elected officials were able to put aside their differences and fulfill the primary role of government — to keep people safe and to help those facing adversity. Now that the storm is long gone, however, it's vital that the cooperation continue, because much of the time and effort that will be devoted to the recovery could be wasted if the process gets bogged down in politics. It's time for our leaders to really listen to one another, to share their ideas and make the most of what we've learned in the trauma of the past week and a half to ensure that Long Island is better prepared for a future Sandy.

The Panther men's hockey team's roll continues. Middlebury made it 12 wins in 13 games and improved to 19-4-4 with a 3-2 win at Bowdoin in the NESCAC playoff final on Sunday. Mathieu Dubuc (he's been hot) scored twice to give the Panthers a 2-0 first period lead, and after the Polar Bears tied it in the third, Charlie Townsend scored the tie-breaker on a breakaway in the final two minutes.
That means after a two-year absence the Panthers are back in the NCAA dance. And, yes, they will host a game. And, yes, fans will recognize the scarlet jerseys of the opponents at 7 p.m. on Saturday: Plattsburgh will skate into The Chip in a tournament quarterfinal.
The game is a rematch of a Feb. 2 contest at Kenyon the Panthers won in convincing fashion, 5-3. According to the Platty point of view, the Cardinals were missing a couple key players and the result was not indicative. They'll have a chance to prove their point of view this weekend. The Cardinals are 18-5-4 after they lost to Oswego, 6-3, in the SUNYAC final. OK, maybe they were shorthanded then, too.
We'll publish full tournament and weekend game details on Thursday. Meanwhile, ticket information will be available at middlebury.edu; just click on athletics and the men's hockey story. By the way, the women's lacrosse team is hosting its opener vs. Bates at noon on Saturday, too.

"Works OK"
I bought this for my dog. It does help keep the flies away and the fleas, but not for long. I end up having to reapply every other day. It does smell good! And yes, it's a bit oily but not real bad. I have figured out that if I spray it on my hand and then rub it in his fur, it's not so oily. I also use a cloth to rub it on him. The directions say to spray it on their coat. When I did that, that's when It was oily. A small amount goes a long ways. I will buy this product again.
"I love this stuff!!!!"
this is really great stuff! Yup, it's a bit oily, but not overtly so. It even repels deer and horse flies! I even use it on myself. I love the minty aroma, it doesn't smell like I'm wearing a bug repellent. As for my dogs, I usually spray it on my hands and rub it on their heads/ears as an aide for flies and mosquitoes when we're out for a walk.Works great!
I needed a product to use on my dog which wouldn't cause an allergic reaction. The product may be effective as indicated but it made my pet so oily I couldn't stand to pet her. Most all the ingredients had an oil base.

Josh Barsch necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 50 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
We've built a very clean dining and events guide in WordPress (Thesis theme) for our hometown of Rapid City, South Dakota. We're launching to the public January 1st and need a nice, clean, modern, sleek logo to go with it. We're a very small operation; a handful of reviewers going up against the local newspaper website.
Our site is a dining and events guide that uses locally-written reviews and a simple, easy-to-use calendar tool that we built ourselves. Hence, our audience is anyone who wants to use the Internet to quickly and easily find something to go out and do on any given night, weekend day, etc. The dining guide's target audience is obviously people who are planning where they'd like to eat.
Here are some requirements and direction regarding the logo:
1) The primary colors of the logo should be red and black, although you should feel free to try any accent colors you like.
2) We like simplicity, which you may have gathered from the fact that we use WP for the site. I considered letting the text-based header serve as our logo, but in the end it was decided that was a little too simple. I like smooth, modern, sans-serif fonts. I very much like very simple, Web 2.0-type designs.
3) The logo/header will be at the top of each page of this website; therefore, it needs to be very horizontal in nature. It doesn't need to extend the entire width of the web page, of course, but it does need to be very horizontal, by at least a 3 to 1 ratio, probably even more.
4) I think that the logo should be fairly text-centric, although accent illustrations are welcome. Cartoony, clip-art type illustrative elements are NOT what we're looking for.
Thanks very much for your offerings! We look forward to rewarding a great designer.

Wedding Bouquet Pass Helps Win Game
Washington state high schools Tumwater and Capital could very easily be nondescript rivals on 'The Simpsons,' but an incredible, momentum-changing 2-point conversion during their Sept. 22 double-overtime battle won by Tumwater has brought the schools national fame.
Trailing 21-13 with just over three minutes to play, Tumwater scored a touchdown and decided to go for two points and tie the game. They didn't use a very traditional play to convert the 2-point attempt.
Tumwater quarterback Jayden Croft turned his back to the line of scrimmage and blindly shoveled the ball over his head toward the goal line — just like a bride would do with a wedding bouquet— as wide receiver Jamie Bryant leaped in the air above the Capital defenders to make the catch.
Bryant, who is committed to Washington next fall, was injured on the play, but Tumwater rallied without him, outlasting Capital 35-28 in double overtime.

MIDDLEBURY — The Town Hall Theater's "Young Company" is back for its third season and for the first time ever is capping its three-week acting and ensemble-building camp with not one, but two plays of a very different nature. The group on Monday, Aug. 19, will stage "Aladdin," a Disney musical, and Jean Anouilh's adaptation of "Antigone," a classical Greek drama whose eponymous heroine is the incestuous lovechild of Oedipus and his mother.
BRISTOL — The Bristol Police Department, like many other municipal law enforcement agencies around the country, hopped on the social media bandwagon a few years ago. Since 2011, it had been posting public service announcements to its Facebook page and making full use of the site's photo-sharing feature to share pictures of important events, like department members meeting the governor or receiving awards, along with some funny ones of officers goofing off with community kids.
LINCOLN — On a recent rainy day in Lincoln, the landscape around Garland's Bridge on Lincoln Gap Road was awash with muted earth tones — gray sky, brown banks laden with dark vegetation, black water.
But following a well-trodden footpath down the riverbank to a favorite local swimming hole beneath the bridge revealed a more striking and brightly hued scene.
BRISTOL — Eleven proposed sites for the new location of the Bristol Fire Department's headquarters have now been eliminated out of an original list of 31. The latest suggestion, that the station be built on two acres of town-owned property on Pine Street near the landfill and the highway department, was unanimously rejected by the selectboard at their Monday meeting. Board members rejected that site because of existing traffic problems on Pine Street and because town officials believe there aren't two acres of unused land near the landfill site.

NEW HAVEN — The Addison Northeast Supervisory Union and the Beeman Elementary School board are in the midst of a mid-summer effort to replace Beeman Elementary Principal Steve Flint, who resigned in July to take a job in Middlebury.
ANeSU Superintendent David Adams said last Friday that the job had been posted since Flint first contacted him in mid-July. Seventeen applications have been received, and an interview committee was formed. The district hopes to invite candidates for interviews this week and hire within two weeks.
MONKTON — Vermont's plethora of craft breweries are about to get the opportunity to source their malt locally. Andrew Peterson, 44, of Monkton is launching Vermont's first commercial malt house this fall.
NEW HAVEN — Enthusiasts of the Addison County Fair and Field Days often talk about the food first: barbecue sandwiches, piping hot Italian sausages, crepes, creemees, slurpees and, of course, platefuls of fried dough.
But those who saved room on Tuesday had yet another appealing dining option: the annual Taste of Vermont dinner with all-local foods donated by local businesses, which in recent years has been the primary fundraising event for the Vergennes/Mount Abraham high school football team.
NEW HAVEN — While many Vermonters would tell you that the forestry and agriculture sectors of the state go hand-in-hand, it wasn't until 1992 that the Addison County Fair & Field Days, the state's largest agricultural fair, had a forestry section.
BRISTOL — On several recent evenings a rabble of afro-sporting, fairy-wing-toting players of ages ranging from seven to 70 have been making a scene on the Bristol town green.
The Bristol Gateway Players, the community theater troupe that launched three years ago, is back for their third summer with a performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
NEW HAVEN — Commuters on Route 7 through New Haven are starting to notice rows of solar arrays going up on the west side of the highway, north of the Lime Kiln Road intersection
Soon, those who take a second look will also notice something unusual on the solar farm: a herd of sheep.

Here is the 1910 US Census for Ole and Mari Finnestad's grandson, Ole John Travland, wife Susan Eola (Sikes) and their son, Lawrence, living in Bee County, Texas.
Ole and Susan married in 1907 and I've not been able to locate the 1900 Census for Ole who may have been living as a boarder with another family that year.
Ole was the first born child of Iverdine (Finnestad) and Lewis Joseph Peterson Travland.

Stevie Pullthru needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 206 designs submitted by 51 freelance designers.
212 Property Group
We are a new company formed from existing professionals in the industry. We are a serviced based company and offer services including selling Real Estate, Property Management in both residential and commercial, Financial Services and Conveyancing, as well as a Maintenance Division for both residential and commerical property maintenance.
Our target audience is mainly focussed in the corporate sector based at the top end of the market i.e. leasing and selling residential and commercial properties, refinancing existing customers, etc. It is an elite business offering elite services to the higher end of the market.
I am changing this section to the brief as I feel maybe I am stifling the creativity of this design by putting my own parameters on it.
Can I now throw this design out there to be presented any way, shape or form in as few or as many colours as you the designer feels is appropriate for the last new days. I like many of the designs presented and I am confident there will be a winner in this group but would like to see a few more "no holes barred" attempts if that is okay. Thanks Steve

Coastal Scenes
For Harrison, the Southern coast is a special place. While he may be best known for his nostalgic paintings of the rural South, Jim is an accomplished painter of landscapes and seascapes. In fact, painting the Southern seashore is where Jim's work began. His love for the lowlands and coast of South Carolina runs deep, and he is as intent on preserving those images as the most dedicated conservationist. He accomplishes this through art, and nobody does it better. His seascapes are hauntingly beautiful and capture the unique timeless vitality of the Southern coast with its sand dunes, salt marshes, and palmetto palms, all in the inimitable Harrison style. "To me there is nothing quite so awesome as the Southern coast. To look out over an endless area of water offers a unique opportunity for peaceful reflecting. Never will I forget the beautiful summer day I headed my fourteen-foot Lonestar away from the public landing near Beaufort, South Carolina. I traveled east along the northern edge of Port Royal Sound through Skull Creek to the end of Pritchards Island. At that very moment, I realized the beach alone was not the coast. For the first time, with the impact of a sudden providential revelation, I became aware of the vastness and beauty of the entire area where the land meets the sea. It was a 'love at first sight' kind of thing that I knew was for real. I truly now love the coast."

Texas Instruments 486DX Microprocessor
In 1989, the 32-bit 80486 heralded the fourth generation of microprocessors with two radical innovations: the integration of a floating-point unit along with the processor and the addition of an internal 8-Kbyte memory cache. With 1.2 million transistors on an 81-square millimeter silicon die, the 486 chip was created with 1.0-micron complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. This microprocessor took the world's personal computer markets by storm, and was issued by the designer, Intel, and licensed manufacturers such as Texas Instruments, IBM, Advanced Micro Devices, and Cyrix.

The 486 processor initially had a clock speed of 25 MHz and a 5-volt power requirement. There are many subsequent models of the 486 processor, some including clock doubling and tripling, and embedded and low-power versions, making the family much larger than the previous 386 corps.
Texas Instruments released a 486 microprocessor clone in 1992. As with other licensed look-alikes, the Texas Instruments 486 chip is virtually identical to Intel's original design. Although largely obsolete in the personal computer market, TI486s are featured as on-board processors for modern electronics equipment such as data acquisition processors and in embedded applications with improved cache memories, clock speeds, and lower power requirements. As with its 386 predecessor, this CPU received a "DX" designation after the release of the less expensive and less powerful 486SX chip.

Good for you - making the cards ahead of time! They're beautiful. I've done quite a bit of scrapbooking in he past (however, it's now knitting full time it seems), and I use my scraps for cards, but invariably I'm hurrying around making one as the need arises. Having a stock on hand is so much smarter....guess I'll think about doing that.

These are lovely, Alisa. I've been using up some of my scraps in the same way, but more patchwork style. What a great way to use up odds and ends. I think the circles are a great touch.

Alisa, Pat Winter just did a post on scraps too! Must be something in the air. And there's also a blog where someone is hosting what is called an ORT sharing. I think it stands for Old Ragged Threads. There are about 300+ people signed up already! LOL!

Looks like this is contagious! LOL!

VERY resourceful use of your stash. I know about that kind of stash all too well lol. I think I may need to "steal a page from your book" (pun intended) and do some of these with my ever-growing stash.

Oh I so need to do this too!
Wonderful inspiration to use up what you have and make something beautiful and useful out of it. How lucky the recipients of those cards are.

I definitely think you should count it checked off as a WIP. Nothing is better than using what you have to make something wonderful - and these are. Simplicity is great sometimes because it means finishing! I'm sure not every Van Gogh sketch was a work of art (not to say your cards aren't). But in my opinion, sometimes it's NOT "all about the journey". Sometimes it's about "gett'er done." Just sayin'

Let's just say you've toyed with the idea of getting another tree for years. A bigger tree. A better tree. You like the one you have, but you think a second, big, ole, awesome tree would be cool, too.
The only thing really holding you back is the moolah involved.
Kay. You still with me?
So, you've got friends who wanna get rid of their big ole awesome tree to make space. You jump on this, right?
Course ya do!
Well, um,
this tree is massive. This is the Andre the Giant of trees.
And when you said you wanted this tree, the friends who gave it to you laughed as you drove away, and you distinctly heard, and I quote:
"Hehehe suckers!"
I heard you, Karina. I heard you.
I want you to know that the hubs is the "tree fluffer". All fake trees must be "fluffed" when they come out of the box. Takes over an hour to "fluff" our 7 foot tree.
This tree is 13 feet tall.
How long does it take to fluff a 13 foot tree? Well, long enough for me to give up and walk away. Long enough for it to turn from day to night.
Long enough for kids to fall asleep in one of the tree boxes.
That's how long.
("How much tree could a Jeff fluff fluff if a Jeff fluff could fluff Jeff?" That made no sense.)
So, I was prone to bursts of weird giggling while we put this thing together and fluffed it. I kept saying "Wow", and "This is hee-uge",
and also "are we done yet?".
And then of course we both kept quoting "Christmas Vacation" quotes while we worked. ("Worked" means Jeff fluffed and I watched from a chair).
"Looks great! Little full. Lots of sap."
"Where do you think you're gonna put a tree like that, Griswald?"
"Bend over and I'll show you."
this tree took a ladder stretched the full length to finish off.
I think, even if I were careful, it'd take me a couple hundred bucks to decorate this thing all decent-like.
I'm thinking that'll have to wait for next year, so I can get clearanced stuff, and a good idea of what color scheme I want in here. It's a plan.
It's like Rockefeller center in my family room, it's so massive.
So, are we suckers? No. Don't answer.

Millersville Office Space Specialists were in the business of leasing office space to local businesses. Last month, construction on their newest office building was completed and the company hosted a grand opening of the building, inviting clients and potential clients to tour the new facilities that the company could now offer. Elliot, the owner of Millersville Office Space Specialists, was very pleased to see that as of this week, the building was already half full of new tenants. His sales staff had been very busy! Determine the name of each sales associate that brought in a client for the new building, the name of each company leasing space, what each company does, and what floor each company is leasing space on (each is on a single floor).
1. Marcy represented the child day care company, which wasnĺt called Cut-away.
2. Sara didnĺt represent a company that rented space on the third floor.
3. The only company currently leasing space on the second floor, which wasnĺt On the Edge, was the parts manufacturer.
4. Day by Day was not the name of the engineering design company. Larry represented Futurese.
5. The two companies renting space on the third floor were Cut-away and the company that Jim represented.
6. Hank represented the debt reduction company, which didnĺt rent space on the first floor. New Horizons was a hair salon but the company didnĺt rent space on the third floor.

Problems with stimulant medications used to treat symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are sending an increasing number of Americans to emergency departments for treatment, a new government report warns.
Between 2005 and 2010, a study finds, ADHD medication-related emergency room visits have more than doubled — from 13,379 in 2005 to 31,244 in 2010. While emergencies associated with ADHD medications rose slightly among children, the hike has been particularly pronounced in those over 18.
The new data were reported Thursday in an issue of the DAWN (Drug Abuse Warning Network) Report, published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, an office of the National Institutes of Health.
Half of the stimulant-related emergency department visits--15,585 in 2010-- were for "non-medical" use of ADHD medication: They were to treat stimulant-related effects in patients who either had not been diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed the drugs or in patients who were not taking the medication as prescribed.

DETROIT -- Though
WrestleMania 23 is approximately eight months away, WWE held a press conference and fan rally Tuesday at the event's venue, Ford Field in Detroit to get fans revved up for the company's premier annual extravaganza.
A plethora of local and Canadian media was on hand and upwards of 1,000 fans made the trek to the home of the NFL's Detroit Lions. Several WWE and ECW superstars were also on hand to not only talk about WrestleMania, but to discuss other noteworthy topics.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund hosted the event and said afterwards that
after the spectacle that was WrestleMania III at the Pontiac Silverdome, he knew it was only a matter of time before the show made its way back to Detroit.
"I didn't know 20 years ago if I'd even be alive in 20 years," Okerlund told the media during a post-press conference scrum. "It'll be exciting to come back here; this is the big time. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
WrestleMania III, held in front of a now-contested 93,173 fans back
on March 29, 1987, in the northern Detroit suburb, will not be outdone attendance-wise by WrestleMania 23, but all signs point to a crowd in excess of 78,000 next April. (The true number of fans at WMIII is said to be closer to 70,000.)
Tom Lewand, the Detroit Lions and Ford Field executive vice president and chief operating officer, spoke at the rally and was in awe at the turnout.
"We could announce we're having the next five Super Bowls and we wouldn't get a crowd like we have today," said Lewand. "This is unbelievable."
Other local dignitaries that spoke briefly were
Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau executive vice president and chief operating officer Michael O'Callaghan and City of Detroit chief administrative officer Lucius Vassar. The latter put on a pair of sunglasses and hollered at the crowd in WWE babyface form.
During the past few months, representatives from WWE have been in town to establish relationships with Ford Field executives, the city of Detroit and border town Windsor, Ontario, and many community and charitable organizations.
WrestleMania 23 will be the eighth pay-per-view to emanate from the Motor City and the first since the Survivor Series last November at Joe Louis Arena.
Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio Jr., Batista, Edge, The Big Show, Kelly Kelly (who attempted to get freaky with Mean Gene), Randy Orton, King Booker and Queen Sharmell and John Cena made appearances at the presser. Paul Heyman was advertised, but was a no-show.
Batista, a man of few words both on and off camera, in
a funny spot, simply muttered the words "John Cena" and got a crowd response, most of which were boos. He did this several times.
Michaels also rambled on about how come WrestleMania, many of the wrestlers get out their best suits, except for Cena, who busts out his diamond-encrusted bling.
"WrestleMania is where we go out and show off," Michaels said. "We have a genuine group of guys in that locker room that trust each other. Every year at WrestleMania, we want to go out there and tear the house down. We enjoy the screams from the fans and that's a big reason who we are as performers. WrestleMania is a chance to show the world that we're the best."
All the wrestlers stayed in character for the most part and all were introduced with their theme music and entrance video. And yes, Sharmell even started the "All hail King Booker" chant.
Edge talked after the press conference about his distant past in the business and maybe a hint for his WrestleMania 23 opponent.
"I cut my teeth here in the early years in Insane Championship Wrestling with Malcolm Monroe and had some very brutal matches," Edge said. "I was in a team called Sex & Violence, which I now have on my T-shirts. They didn't copyright it! But Detroit was my starting point and definitely is a special place for me."
And as for who the Rated R Superstar will battle next April?
"I'm undefeated at WrestleMania," said Edge. "And I can think of one other guy who is also undefeated."
Hmmm ... can we say Undertaker?
Michaels, who had a crazed fan yell out "Montreal Screwjob" at one point, was in usual form after the fan portion of the day. When
asked by a local TV reporter what DX means, Michaels responded with, "DX means D ... Generation ... X. Next question."
Edge was asked about a possible second confrontation with Detroit Tigers' DH Dmitri Young. The two had a short program at last year's Survivor Series. Edge's response: "Dmitri Young? The fat guy on first base with the braids?" Edge then went on his typical rant on Detroit sports teams and how they all choke, or in the Tigers' case, will be choking in due time.
All in all, at the end of the day, WWE gave the fans of Detroit a free preview of WrestleMania 23 and by the turnout, it doesn't appear Ford Field will have too many empty seats come next spring.
By covering this press conference, Matt Mackinder is hoping he'll be granted press access for the big event April 1, 2007. Hint, hint, Mr. Editor. Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Water amounts
Hi stouts, I use a kettle / propane burner also, and made a pilsner yesterday. This is my method and it works, but it is not scientific by any means, my total water is 7 gallons, 3/4 gallon will stay behind soaked up by the grain, and one gallon will get boiled off, I consistantly get 5 - 5 1/4 gallons in the fermenter. As for your batch, I don't think that you will be able to notice any watered down qualities, just that the alcohol will be approx 1% lower. Use the beer calculator on this site to give you the predicteds OK ? good luck.

Special to this year's Mid-South Farm and Gin Show, to be held Friday and Saturday at the downtown Memphis Cook Convention Center, will be an informational seminar on a topic of major interest — weed resistance —and a guest appearance by Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
The 58th annual event is sponsored by the Southern Cotton Ginners Association, with Delta Farm Press as co-sponsor.
"We're honored to welcome Sen. Lincoln to the show," says Tim Price, SCGA executive vice president and show manager. "She is a long-time advocate for agriculture, and we appreciate her coming to provide insight into key policy issues of concern to Mid-South farmers."
The senator will speak Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in the Steamboat Room of the Convention Center.
"Times are hard for farmers," she notes, "and I will use this opportunity to hear firsthand from growers and industry leaders on the challenges they face as they plan for the future. Together, we will work to insure that our agricultural producers can continue to meet our food and fiber needs, while providing much-needed economic strength to our rural communities."
The seminar on herbicide-resistant weeds will be held Friday at 1:30 in the Steamboat Room of the convention center.
"Herbicide resistance has emerged as one of the leading production issues for farmers, not only in the Mid-South but across the nation," Price says. "Farmers are concerned about how to deal with this critical issue, which could drastically change their production practices."
Ken Smith, University of Arkansas Extension weed specialist, will provide an overview and moderate the panel discussion.
Other participants will be Jason Bond, assistant research professor-rice weed management, Mississippi State University; Daniel Stephenson, assistant professor/specialist weed science, Louisiana State University AgCenter, and Larry Steckel, University of Tennessee Extension weed specialist.
The timing of this year's Mid-South Farm and Gin Show comes at a critical junction for the region's farmers, says Price.
"Our show comes on the heels of one of the most trying seasons growers have had in years and as they're ready to kick off the 2010 crop year with early corn planting — so we're right on target in offering an outstanding lineup of informational opportunities along with 400-plus exhibits featuring perhaps the most extensive array of products and services we've ever had. "A lot of farmers are still reeling from last year's challenging weather and the impact it had on their management programs," Price says. "They're looking for information and solutions to better cope with adversities that may occur, as well as insight into markets, legislation, and other issues of importance as they go into the new year."
Ag Update Seminars
The informational Ag Update seminars to be held Friday and Saturday will include outlook sessions for cotton and grains, along with comments from industry officials.
Headliner speakers for the 8:30 a.m. Friday seminar will be Carl Brothers, Riceland Foods, and Joe Nicosia, Allenberg Cotton Co.
At the Saturday 8:30 a.m. session, Richard Brock, Brock and Associates, will present his in-depth seminar on grain marketing.
Admission is free, but registration is required for admittance to the show areas.
Exhibit hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Ginner associations meet today
The member associations of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association will be holding their annual meeting today (Thursday), with informational sessions and other events, including its annual banquet, at which Ginner of the Year Kevin Watts, McGehee Producers Gin, McGehee, Ark., will be recognized, and the late Duke Shackelford, Jones, La., producer/ginner, will be honored with an SCGA memorial scholarship for the Gin Management Technology Program at Mississippi State University.
The SCGA annual meeting, at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25, in the Peabody Hotel's Venetian Room, will include an annual update on association and foundation activities, along with presentations by industry representatives, university researchers, and others.
Speakers include Kirk Gilkey, president of the National Cotton Ginners Association; Paul Scruggs, location manager, Cottonseed Trading Group/Lansing Trade Group, who will discuss "The Changing World of Cottonseed Marketing"; Matthew Fannin, assistant professor of agricultural economics and agribusiness, Louisiana State University, who will discuss "Mid-South Ginning Infrastructure"; Pete Nelson, director of the AgBioworks program for the Memphis BioWorks Foundation, who will discuss "The Mid-South Potential for Biotechnology"; Tommy Valco, cotton technology transfer and education coordinator, Office of Technology Transfer, USDA-ARS, Stoneville, Miss., who will discuss ginning research; and Paul Funk, USDA Southwestern Cotton Ginning Laboratory, who will discuss "Gin Energy Use."
All association members are encouraged to invite their farmers and stockholders to attend the meeting, Price says.
"This is an opportunity for our members to get updates on critical issues in our industry and to hear from professionals working on critical ginning industry research and the potential for Mid-South agriculture in emerging industries."
For more information about the show, contact the Southern Cotton Ginners Association at 901-947-3104 or visit their Web site, farmandginshow.com

Coconut-Lime Macaroons
3 egg whites
2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
zest of 1 lime
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients thoroughly. Form into small balls and place 1/2 inch apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.
Lime juice often loses some of its flavor during baking due to high heat. These macaroons, however, bake for such a small amount of time, it's not an issue.

Sounds really good. I've never had a macaroon. I like the idea of a lime cookie.ReplyDelete

These sound so scrumptious.ReplyDelete
And yes, we are near the beach, living. Will make them for neighbors and friends here in the tropical paradise of northeast Brasil.
coconut... mmmmmm... I'm so making these!ReplyDelete
oh, my. bless your heart. this is fantastic.ReplyDelete
I love Coconut macaroons but have never had them with lime...which I love...these look delicious, a must try!ReplyDelete
I just made these. Nothing like a crunchy on the outside, chewy sweet on the inside, tangy lime macaroon!ReplyDelete
Thank you for visiting Coconut & Lime! I read and appreciate each one of your comments.

Guy is a class act and just broke Rice's single season record. He is a good guy, and I am glad he did it. If any of the three of he, Andre Johnson, and Larry Fitzgerald breaks records then I say great. All three are gentlemen and hard workers. Plus it's nice for Jerry to have to take a backseat for once. Maybe now his indirect swipes at Largent and how "easily" Rice broke the records will quiet some since there is a new generation of guys that in my mind are every bit the player Rice was (and then some). It's the way it goes. Generation to generation is very difficult to compare. To devalue Largent's career because of Rice's career would be as stupid as devaluing Rice's career because of the careers of the big 3 I mentioned above. Each generation has their stars, and I think stars from different generations would be stars in any generation. All five guys mentioned were all time greats, and I have been blessed to see all of them play the entirety of their careers.
I am a bit surprised that Calvin did it after the game he had against the Hawks. He just didn't look good at all, but I wasn't aware at the time that he was battling injuries, not the least of which was a broken finger. That's the kind of guy you want on your team. Suited up and giving it his all every week. He has earned every accolade he has gotten and I am glad to see a good guy get some recognition for being so well... good.

DUBLIN, Ohio (Reuters) - The United States needed a par on the final hole to grab the overall lead over the Internationals on the first day of the Presidents Cup after almost throwing away a commanding advantage following a lengthy weather delay.
Steve Stricker calmly pared the 18th hole to secure the decisive point that allowed the Americans to finish the opening fourballs leading by 3-1/2 points to 2-1/2.
At one point, the Americans led in all six encounters at Muirfield Village Golf Club but South Africans Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel inspired a late fightback by the Internationals.
Oosthuizen and Schwartzel came from two down after seven holes to beat British Open champion Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley 2&1 in a contest of high quality involving four former major winners.
Bradley put the Americans two up by sinking a six-foot eagle putt at the par-five seventh but the South Africans won the next two holes with birdies, Oosthuizen draining a 16-footer at the eighth and Schwartzel tapping in a two-footer at the ninth.
Oosthuizen then put the Internationals one up by knocking in a three-foot birdie putt at the par-five 11th, and his good friend Schwartzel sealed victory with a birdie at the 17th.
"Me and Charl played really well," said 2010 British Open winner Oosthuizen. "We did proper better ball. When he was out of the hole, I played well. When I was out of it, he hit some amazing shots."
Schwartzel, the 2011 Masters champion, agreed.
"We were nine under (par) combined, so we played really good golf," he said. "I felt like my good shots were really very good today.
"The two of us feel comfortable with each other. You don't get down on yourself with a bad shot, because you know those sort of things happen ... I think that's where we bond really well."
Tiger Woods and Matt Kuchar earned the first point of the day for the U.S., hammering Argentina's Angel Cabrera and Australian Marc Leishman 5&4 in a match they led from the opening hole.
"We ham-and-egged it pretty good," said Woods.
"Kuch made a bunch of putts on the front nine, I got it rolling there for a little bit and on the back nine. It was him or me on each hole. We did pretty good."
Zach Johnson and PGA Championship winner Jason Dufner never trailed before beating South Africans Branden Grace and Richard Sterne 5&3 while Stricker and Jordan Spieth ended a birdie fest against South African Ernie Els and Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge with a hard-fought 1-up win.
However, the Internationals did well to salvage 1-1/2 more points from two of the earlier matches out.
Australian Jason Day sank a 22-foot birdie putt at the last to seal a 1-up win in tandem with Canada's Graham DeLaet over Hunter Mahan and Brandt Snedeker, after they had been three down after six holes.
Masters champion Adam Scott of Australia and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, who never led and trailed by two with four holes to play, fought back to square their match against Bill Haas and Webb Simpson.
The 21-year-old Matsuyama almost sank his approach at the last, his tap-in for birdie earning the Internationals a valuable half-point after they were clearly feeling the pressure in the matchplay format they prefer, as they have traditionally struggled in the foursomes.
Internationals captain Nick Price felt he had gained a valuable concession with fourballs featuring in the opening Cup session for the first time since the 1996 edition of the biennial team competition, and had been hoping for a fast start.
But it was the Americans who came charging out of the gate after former U.S. President George W. Bush had greeted both teams before they teed off at the par-four first in front of packed grandstands.
U.S. captain Fred Couples, who was given a cake by the International team for his 54th birthday, watched in delight as his players seized early control before play was suspended for just under an hour-and-a-half due to a thunderstorm.
The U.S. have dominated the Presidents Cup by winning seven times in nine editions, most recently with a 19-15 victory at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia two years ago.
The only success for the Internationals came in 1998 when the event was first staged in Melbourne. In 2003, the two teams battled to a 17-17 draw in South Africa.
