text: "In the southeast Atlantic, the Southeast Pacific, the Northeast Atlantic and the high seas tuna fishing grounds in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, half to two thirds of tuna stocks are overexploited, depleted, or recovering," Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton said today. Speaking at a dinner for the Pacific Islands Fisheries Forum Committee, which is meeting all this week in Wellington, he underlined how important it is for members of the Fisheries Forum to work together to protect the resource in the central and western Pacific. "We are in charge of the world's last big tuna resource. The capture potential of the world's oceans has reached its ceiling. The oceans need more cautious and effective fisheries management, and we are connected by our responsibility to play our part in our corner of the globe," Jim Anderton said. "This resource is the economic engine driving many Pacific Island economies," he said, and went on to talk of the major challenge for all the member countries to ensure that fish are taken legally and reported properly. "One step we can take is to make sure only legal and reported fish are traded throughout the world. So we need to get rid of ports-of-refuge for illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) vessels. We need disincentives to illegal fishing," Jim Anderton said. A binding agreement for port state measures will help to make ports unattractive for IUU vessels to visit. "But the way we will benefit most is by our ability to work together for our mutual benefit. We have a lot of work to do to ensure we capture more of the value from our resource and to ensure we protect it for the future." Read the Minister's speech in full

APTA has updated its Medicare Physician Fee Schedule FAQ to clarify the impact of the multiple procedure payment reduction (MPPR) on payment for therapy services.
Set to be implemented on April 1, the provision applies the MPPR to therapy services at 50%, up from 20% for office settings and 25% for facility settings. APTA estimates the application of a 50% MPPR policy will reduce payments by approximately 6-7% in aggregate for outpatient therapy services. This reduction will be partially offset by a 4% increase in practice expense that resulted from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' use of new survey data of practice expenses conducted by APTA. The impact of the MPPR reduction on individual practices and facilities will vary depending on the CPT codes billed and the typical duration of the therapy sessions. To determine the impact on your practice, refer to APTA's MPPR calculator, which can be used to determine payment rates for 2012 and 2013.
APTA will advocate to fix this flawed policy. The association soon will call on APTA members to help in this effort.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has further clarified the regulations on the new functional limitation reporting requirements that were included in transmittal R2622CP and a new Medicare Learning Network resource. CMS was mandated to collect information on claim forms regarding beneficiaries' function and condition, therapy services furnished, and outcomes achieved on patient function by the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2012. All practice settings that provide outpatient therapy services must include this information on the claim form. These new functional limitation reporting requirements were implemented on January 1. To ensure a smooth transition, CMS sets forth a testing period January 1-July 1. After July 1, claims submitted without the appropriate G-codes and modifiers will be returned unpaid.
The major points of clarification include:
Additionally, CMS has released revisions to the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual that include the functional limitation reporting requirements (see related article titled "CMS Releases Updates to the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual").
APTA has posted links to these documents on its functional limitation reporting webpage. The association also has updated the FAQ posted on the webpage, which provides resources to help members meet this new reporting requirement.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has revised the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual to include a change to the progress note requirement, which now is required at either a date chosen by the clinician or the 10th treatment day, whichever is shorter. Additionally, there is a new section dedicated the functional limitation reporting requirements that were implemented on January 1. Therapists are required to include functional limitation reporting information in their documentation. The functional impairments identified and expressed in the long-term treatment goals must be consistent with those used in the claims-based functional reporting using nonpayable G-codes and severity modifiers for services furnished on or after January 1. For more information, visit APTA's functional limitation reporting webpage.
On Thursday, Sen Mark Kirk (R-IL) returned to Capitol Hill for the first time since having a stroke in January 2012 that paralyzed the left side of his body. Kirk climbed the steps to the Capitol using a 4-prong cane and assisted by Vice President Joe Biden and Sen Joe Manchin (D-WV) while his colleagues in the 113th Congress cheered.
Kirk was scheduled to hold a press conference Thursday with physicians and researchers from the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and Northwestern Memorial Hospital to discuss the treatment he underwent.
APTA member Michael Klonowski, PT, DPT, PCS, who was Kirk's primary physical therapist in Chicago, told USA Today that he was "more emotional" than he thought he would be as he watched his former patient make the climb.
"Seeing what he's done is absolutely inspiring," Klonowski said. "I've seen him go up tons of stairs. ... It was really something to see him do what he did today."
In an interview published Wednesday in the Chicago Sun-Times Kirk said that his experience with the health care system has given him a new perspective. He said that he plans to take a look at the Illinois Medicaid program, which he noted allows 11 rehab visits for patients with stroke.
"Had I been limited to that, I would have had no chance to recover like I did," Kirk said. "So unlike before suffering the stroke, I'm much more focused on Medicaid and what my fellow citizens face."
Watch this NBC video of Kirk's "45 monumental steps." To view photos of Kirk in rehabilitation, visit the Huffington Post.
Adults diagnosed with diabetes are at significantly increased risk for fracture-related hospitalization, says a Medscape Medical News article based on the results from an analysis of data from a large, community-based study.
More than 15,100 patients between 45 and 64 years old participated in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, a 4-community study that began in 1987. There were a total of 1,078 fracture-related hospitalizations during the 20-year follow-up period. (Only fractures that resulted in inpatient hospitalization were captured in ARIC.)
At baseline, 1,195 participants had been diagnosed with diabetes based on self-report, and 605 had undiagnosed diabetes according to their measured serum glucose values.
Compared with the 13,340 study participants without diabetes, the incidence of fracture-related hospitalization was significantly greater among the group with diagnosed diabetes (6.6 vs 3.9 per 1,000 person-years of follow-up).
The incidence of fracture hospitalization was higher among those with diagnosed diabetes compared with those without diabetes for all age groups. However, the fracture risk was not increased among those with undiagnosed diabetes compared with those without diabetes, the article says.
After adjustment for the covariates, diagnosed diabetes still was associated with a significantly increased risk for fracture hospitalization, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.74.
However, also in the fully adjusted analysis, the fracture risk among those with undiagnosed diabetes was similar to that for those participants without diabetes (HR 1.12).
There also was a significant relationship with glycemic control. After adjustment, participants with diagnosed diabetes who had hemoglobin A1c values of 8% or greater had a significantly greater risk for fracture hospitalization than did those with A1c values less than 8% (HR 1.63). After further adjustment for diabetes medication use that risk was reduced (HR 1.50).
The authors say further studies are needed to understand if exercise interventions or strategies to improve glycemic control while minimizing hypoglycemic episodes may prevent fractures among people with diabetes.
The study was published online December 17 in Diabetes Care.
In response to a troublesome provision included in the fiscal cliff package passed by Congress on Tuesday, APTA is advising members to monitor APTA's website and the Legislative Action Center specifically for upcoming action alerts regarding efforts to avert the increased multiple procedure payment reduction (MPPR) included in the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (HR8).
Set to be implemented on April 1, the provision applies the MPPR to therapy services at 50%, up from 20% for office settings and 25% for facility settings. APTA estimates the application of a 50% MPPR policy will reduce payments by approximately 6%-7%. This reduction will be partially offset by a 4% increase that resulted from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) use of new survey data of practice expenses conducted by APTA. Coupled together, APTA expects the net overall decrease for outpatient therapy services to be between 2%-3%, a lower cut than expected. Nevertheless, APTA will advocate to fix this flawed policy. The association soon will call on APTA members to make their voices heard on Capitol Hill.
The increase to a 50% MPPR was recently endorsed by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC). Despite months of aggressive lobbying efforts to reject the provision, Congress ultimately included this and a number of other spending cuts in the fiscal cliff package to offset other health care related provisions, including the prevention of the 26.5% fee schedule cut and the extension of the therapy cap exceptions process.
Once policy options are assessed, APTA will issue additional alerts to PTeam. If you're not a member of PTeam, sign up today to receive the alerts. In the meantime, APTA members are encouraged to learn more about this and other important provisions included in the legislation through the resources provided on APTA's 2013 Medicare Changes: January 2013 webpage at www.apta.org/Payment/Medicare/2013/Changes/. These resources include a statement by APTA's president on HR8, a congressional summary, a 2013 Medicare therapy cap FAQ, and a 2013 Physician Fee Schedule and MPPR FAQ.
Additionally, APTA has updated the MPPR calculator to help association members determine their reimbursement for services based on the MPPR only.
Safe patient handling (SPH) programs do not appear to inhibit patient recovery, say authors of a retrospective cohort study conducted in a rehabilitation unit in a hospital system. Fears among therapists that the use of equipment may lead to dependence may be unfounded, they add.
For this investigation, the authors enrolled consecutive patients (N=1,291) over a 1-year period without an SPH program in place (n=507) and consecutive patients over a 1-year period with an SPH program in place (n=784). The SPH program consisted of administrative policies and patient handling technologies. The policies limited manual patient handling by staff. Equipment included ceiling- and floor-based dependent lifts, sit-to-stand assists, ambulation aides, friction-reducing devices, motorized hospital beds and shower chairs, and multihandled gait belts. The main outcome measure was the mobility subscale of the FIM.
Patients who were rehabilitated in the group with SPH achieved similar outcomes to patients rehabilitated in the group without SPH. A significant difference between groups was noted for patients with initial mobility FIM scores of 15.1 and higher after controlling for initial mobility FIM score, age, length of stay, and diagnosis. Those patients performed better with SPH.
APTA member Marc Campo, PT, PhD, OCS, is the article's lead author. APTA member Heather Margulis, PT, is coauthor. The article is available in this month's Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
Two themes emerge in this month's PTJ, says Editor in Chief Rebecca Craik, PT, PhD, FAPTA, in her January Craikcast. The first theme, which reflects back on PTJ's December 2011 Special Issue on Advances in Disability Research, calls for physical therapists to go beyond measurements of impairments and consider other variables when evaluating outcomes following interventions. Craik notes that 4 papers in the current issue "certainly have gone beyond the impairment level in looking at outcome measures." The second theme, motor control and motor learning, can be found in articles on intermanual transfer in patients with upper-limb amputation, body-scaling, and mastering motivation in toddlers.
Responding to a charge from the 2012 House of Delegates to revise Vision 2020 to "reflect the vision of the profession of physical therapy and its commitment to society beyond 2020," the Vision Task Force sent a revised vision to the APTA Board of Directors for consideration at its November 2012 meeting. The Board will forward the proposed vision to the 2013 House of Delegates for consideration. Information about the proposed vision has been posted and is available for members and delegates to review. Please direct your comments about the vision to your chapter or section delegates or directly to the members of the Vision Task Force.
The Foundation for Physical Therapy recently launched a new effort that enables students, faculty, and members of the community to collectively raise funds for physical therapy research. Built around the concept of training for a triathlon, physical therapy programs will form teams, and team members will log the number of miles they each swim, bike, and run on the Log 'N Blog website.

The relationship between health care spending and quality of care is "totally unclear," say researchers in a Reuters Health article about their meta-analysis of 61 studies that compared health care spending with outcomes on both small hospital-wide scales and broader state-wide levels.
Some of the studies looked at whether hospitals that spent more money per patient had fewer in-hospital deaths, or if their physicians and nurses better followed guidelines. Others compared states' Medicare spending with how well their older residents were treated for a range of conditions.
"The bottom line was that no matter how you drill down into the results, at every level the results are just all over the map," Peter S. Hussey, PhD, the study's lead investigator, told Reuters Health.
Twenty-one of the 61 studies showed higher spending was tied to better outcomes for patients, such as fewer deaths. However, 18 studies found a link between more spending and worse outcomes, and 22 showed no difference or an unclear association based on spending.
Many of the studies compared certain types of spending with potentially unrelated outcomes. Others didn't take into account how sick patients were initially when looking at how they fared in different situations, the article says.
Hussey and colleagues conclude that future studies should focus on what types of spending are most effective in improving quality and what types of spending represent waste.
The findings are published in the January 1 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.

Hi, BIG congratulations on having the dedication to post for 900 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Your buddy, Warren :-)
Hi, I like your idea of putting (35¢ to use debit card) on your post for ARCO. I have just been stating (Cash Price), but yours is better. P.S. Belated, congratulations an breaking the 1 million point barrier. Don't get a sunburn in that new convertible. Warren :-)
Congratulations on reaching 1,000,000 points! Great job!
Thank you for being my buddy. May you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year too. Warren :-)
Sorry but sometimes the politics is the reason for the fuel prices. When Gov. has the authority & responsibility to act on behalf of the people & they don't, then that is an issue. Sorry if gas prices are related to Government, but in this case they are in my opinion. If the Republicans had done nothing for 5 yrs to help when they could have I would critize their lack of action. For Instance The increased Speculation in US markets was a result of Pres. Clinton changing the rules on speculation at the end of his term. The experts agree speculation probably raises the price of fuel at the pump by up to 30%. The amount of oil & Diesel Exported out of the USA affects the price & Washington has the control on Export taxesor restrictions on Export of all commodities.
Hi, congratulations on having the perseverance to post for 700 consecutive days. Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Your buddy, Warren :-)
A BIG CONGRATS on 700 consecutive days! Awesome! Wow, another 100 days have passed again, already! : ) For some it seems pretty easy to come back each day! But for most GBs they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days for many reasons, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact me! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Tucson GasBuddy! Have a nice weekend! Thanks!
On Friday 7/13/12, ImCheapinNJ reported on CobraLeader's Whiteboard, that CobraLeader passed away on 11 Dec 2010! I know it's been a long time since anyone has heard from CobraLeader, many GBs have been wondering what had happened to CobraLeader! :( I heard CL had more than 5,000 buddies on his buddy list and many more GBs knew of his presence here in GasBuddyland! We'll miss our buddy CobraLeader, but he'll always have GasBuddies that will remember him for being here! May CL R.I.P. : )

Down under: Lobos defeat visiting Australian team
BY Chris O�Dell, email@example.com
One thing Little Elm lacked during Tuesday night�s game against Victoria Metro was a size advantage.
With four players taller than 6-foot-8, the visiting team from Australia carried a distinct disparity into the Tuesday exhibition.
However, the Lobos, with no player taller than 6-foot-4, didn�t seem to mind and earned a 51-44 victory with stingy play at the defensive end.
Little Elm shot just 32 percent from the field but managed to limit Victoria Metro to just 17 first-half points, including eight points in the opening frame.
�We�re playing better defense than any team I�ve ever had,� Segler said.
The defense gave the Lobos a 10-8 lead after the first frame and a 23-17 lead at the break. The two teams then went toe-to-toe for the final two quarters, with Vitoria Metro using a 14-13 advantage in the third to trail by just five points going into the final stanza.
Senior play then carried the Lobos, with Jalen Bridges scoring a game-high 16 points and Shaun Grant and Devante� Pullum chipping in 11 and 10, respectively.
�I�ve been pleased with how we�ve looked so far,� Segler said. �I feel good about where we�re at right now.�
Little Elm has been without the services of senior Biron Joseph after last season�s leading scorer transferred to Quest Academy in Las Vegas before recently returning to the Metroplex.
�We should get [Joseph] back next Wednesday,� Segler said. �That will be a big addition for us.�
Tuesday�s victory improved Little Elm�s season mark to 6-3 after a lengthy postseason run last year ended with a 61-59 loss to Denton Ryan.
�The guys believe they can win now,� Segler said. �Mediocre isn�t going to cut it anymore.�
The Lobos were slated for a 3 p.m. tournament-opening game against Haltom on Thursday. However, results were not available as of press time.
Little Elm will conclude its time in the Weatherford New Car Dealers Tournament Saturday before returning home to host Allen in a 7:30 p.m. game on Tuesday.

LONG BEACH — A sixth-grade substitute teacher at a preparatory school in Long Beach was removed from the classroom while an investigation is conducted into "alleged misconduct," authorities said Friday.
| » SAFE SCHOOLSA sixth-grade substitute teacher at a preparatory school in Long Beach was removed from the classroom while an investigation is conducted into "alleged misconduct," authorities said Friday.
Students at Rancho Dominguez Preparatory School, at 4110 Santa Fe Ave., reported the teacher may have been photographing them surreptitiously.
The man hasn't been arrested, police and school officials said.
Some students said in interviews that they discovered a camera under a desk pointed at them when it fell to the floor. They asked the teacher about the item, but he provided no explanation.
The Long Beach Police Department is investigating the case and has contacted the teacher and served a search warrant, said Lisa Massacani, spokeswoman for the department. The teacher isn't being named, pending the outcome of the investigation.
The case was brought to the attention of police on Tuesday, and the teacher was immediately removed from his duties, Massacani said.
In a letter to parents and guardians dated Friday, school Principal Keri Lew wrote, in part:
"The purpose of this letter is to inform you of an investigation involving
She said the man "will not return until the investigation is complete and the allegations are determined to be unfounded."
While there is a presumption of innocence, Lew said the "district takes each and every reported act of misconduct seriously. We are committed to aggressively pursuing each case to determine the truth and, if necessary, initiate the appropriate disciplinary or administrative measures."
The school - located in Long Beach, but overseen by Los Angeles Unified School District - serves students in grades 6 through 11.
LAUSD has been beset by cases of teacher sexual misconduct in the past several months, including the case of a teacher at Miramonte Elementary School in Los Angeles who allegedly fed students his semen on a spoon, among other allegations.
The teacher, Mark Berndt, was suspended in February 2011 and arrested in January 2012. Parents were outraged, however, that they weren't notified for nearly a year while the investigation took place.
In response to this case, the district last month adopted a new policy that parents be notified within 72 hours if a teacher is removed from the classroom for sexual misconduct.
Massacani said the department is working closely with the school district in its investigation and that parents were notified immediately following the teacher's removal.

P.S. Mindy Kaling as a child, and her thoughts on romantic comedies.
29 comments:
i watched it on hulu a few weeks ago! i'm hooked. she's effing hilarious. there aren't too many shows out there that show successful single young professionals in a comedic scene much anymore (we need "friends" back!!)
i'm also hooked on parenthood... that starts tonight!! so excited!!
cheers.I can't wait to watch this show because I think it's wonderful that we have such a talented actress and comedian hit the screens who doesn't fit the typical Hollywood mold. She's someone real and relatable, and I think her show will do real well because of that. I think that's why we also love Girls. We all have those hilarious awkward moments, and it's awesome that it's all getting acted out in front of us. Thanks for sharing! Loves.

SAS Transportation vans get around!
Lane Atkins is pleased with the exposure his Home Instead franchise is getting.
By Frankie Wilford
Being able to run errands on your own and get to appointments or social engagements is important to all of us. For some older adults who are no longer driving, the loss of driving independence can lead to increased isolation. Although DART serves most of our community, the Transportation program offered by Senior Adult Services (SAS) is an affordable, safe and dependable option.
With door-to-door service and three lift vans in operation, SAS recently expanded its service area to five miles beyond the city limits of Carrollton, Addison, Coppell and Farmers Branch, which includes many of the major medical centers as well as popular shopping outlets.
In addition to getting seniors where they want to go, these vans also provide an excellent opportunity for companies to promote their business. With an ad logo displayed on the window, the public will not only see your company name, they will see that you support the organization that serves seniors in our community. Sponsorships also include your logo on our the Senior Adult Services website. To learn more, Contact Mary Joiner by email: email@example.com or call (972) 242-4464.

SOURCE Bricker & Eckler LLP
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bricker & Eckler LLP has launched a free online resource center to help Ohio businesses and individuals stay apprised of the significant tax changes and financial implications proposed by Ohio Governor John Kasich's biennial budget bill (House Bill 59). The page was developed by Mark Engel, a highly-respected expert on state tax issues. A partner in Bricker's Business, Tax & Estates group, Engel will update this online resource center as the budget bill moves through the Ohio General Assembly.
As part of his 2013 State of the State address, Ohio Governor Kasich announced details of his budget plan for the next two years and his proposal to revamp the state's sales tax and tax assessment regulations. The plan, H.B. 59, includes sweeping tax changes that will mean a fundamental shift in how state government is funded, including:
"The proposed changes in how taxes would be assessed will affect every Ohio business, consumer and resident. The proposal is complicated and not without controversy," said Engel. "Because of the widespread implications of the bill, we've created this resource center to provide analysis and updates on the tax changes as the bill moves through the legislative process."
Engel's practice is taxation, with concentrated experience in all aspects of state and local taxation, including tax planning, compliance, and litigation in sales and use, income, commercial activity, public utility, and property taxation. In addition, he works in the areas of economic development, federal personal and corporate taxation and nonprofit and social enterprise tax issues. He is the author of Baldwin's Ohio Tax Service and is an annual keynote speaker at the Ohio Tax Conference.
Individuals and businesses can sign up for complimentary e-mail notifications or updates, bulletins and breaking news alerts regarding the proposed tax changes and pending implications.

A Hancock County task force aims to curb domestic violence incidents. The Courier reports a collaboration of area groups will take the place of a board that hadn't been in operation for several years. The group has been active already, creating a pack of contact cards law enforcement can leave when responding to victims of domestic violence. The cards have information for emergency shelters, protection orders, and court proceedings.
The group also plans to hold refresher training for around 50 law enforcement officers on how to respond to domestic violence calls. In Findlay alone, the police department handles and average of two domestic violence calls per day.

Firewire riders,
1. Lighter, more flex, strength still there withOUT inserts...
2. Or...heavier, bombproof with inserts?
Note without inserts you will always have the choice to add a strap/pad system such as NSI or surf tech.
Inserts do limit foot placement to certain areas and not all kiters can adapt.
Throw in your thoughts!

American cities are in trouble, the recession is straining cities' ability to meet their financial needs causing them to cutback on essential services, implementing hiring freezes and layoffs, delaying capital expenditures.The way out is to increase taxes or fees or both. The impact to businesses and the financial markets is harsh with 80% (CNN Estimate) in trouble.
Can the stimulus package or big government stop the trend? Will the further decline put a larger drag on the predicted financial recovery of the nation? Will reduction in services drive higher crime and further deterioration?

text: The Show Catwalk Close up Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2011-12 Menswear Perry Ellis 11 February 2011 Max Berlinger SOMETIMES it takes more courage to remain unwavering in your vision and resist the fleeting appeal of of-the-moment fashion crazes than to chase the latest rage. Having the acuity to look beyond fads and the self-cannibalising, cyclical nature of fashion can prove an advantage in the long run. Practicality is an under-appreciated virtue and sometimes not taking a risk can be the biggest risk of all. Take for example John Crocco's autumn/winter 2011-12 collection for Perry Ellis, a house that has become synonymous with men's sportswear. There were no fireworks or wizardry, nor a desperate acquiescing to ephemeral trends. There was, on the other hand, a pragmatic sense of resolve to present classic, sensible clothing that male consumers will not only appreciate, but want to wear. The 40-look collection was a comprehensive modern day wardrobe - aspirational and candid - there were no hidden meanings or complicated machinations at play. Instead, there were simple, beautifully crafted present-day interpretations of quintessential menswear standards, playing up the strengths of the respected brand. Autumn/winter, fittingly, demonstrated a wide array of coats and jackets, all manufactured in sumptuously lush materials. A belted chestnut trench made of Alpaca looked costly but subdued, immediately followed by a buttery suede riding coat, also belted and equally as enticing. Chunky cable-knit cardigans were oversized and agreeable, hanging to mid-thigh and tied at the waist. The suiting shown was slim, but not shrunken or proportionally slight, made for respectable, mature men who want to be noticed for looking good, not pinpointed for trying to look good (an important distinction). Crocco made a strong case for turtlenecks, which were layered under many looks adding a touch of dapper soignee to the polished ensembles. Another stylistic highlight was the woodsy, masculine way many of the models had their pants tucked into socks which peeked out a bit from the handsome high-top boots, giving them a rustic masculinity. Oversized checks were featured on many of the cropped jackets towards the close of the show, including a smartly cut Eisenhower and a wool topcoat. Quilted vests in varying dark tones looked utilitarian and smart. The show closed with all the models stampeding the runway at once, in thermals and sweatshirts, a tasteful final touch. Perry Ellis once again stood out as a brand that has a clear understanding of its own identity and that remains faithful to its customer, who in turn, remain faithful to it.

Like the other great risk/reward course on the East Coast of the United States, Merion, you must play the National with your head as much as your clubs. Macdonald's design philosophy was to provide a safe line of play if you want to play cautious, but also to offer a more difficult but rewarding shot to those willing to take risk. How many times have you heard that a certain piece of land is perfect for a golf course? In the case of the National Golf Links it is true. Every hole at the National is good. After playing the National I felt that at least five holes are truly world class: the 3rd Alps, the 4th Redan, the 14th Cape, the 16th Punch Bowl and the 17th Peconic. The 17th is a 360 yard risk/reward hole that, along with the 10th at Riviera, are probably the two best in existence.
Bernard Darwin calls it: "endearing";
Herbert Warren Wind calls it: "a majestic monument";
John de St. Jorre calls it: "the most scenic in America";
Horace Hutchinson says: "it has no weak points".
For me, an overnight stay at The National and a round of golf is as good as golf gets, bar none.
Shinnecock Hills Golf Club (ranked #4 in the world) deserves a special place in the world of golf because it was the first club incorporated in the U.S. in 1891. It has a rich and storied history and is unquestionably a championship course. I have had the honor of playing Shinnecock Hills several times and think it is a great golf course but not necessarily in the top 5 in the world. Perhaps, like the Old Course at St. Andrews, it takes a longer period of time to reveal its greatness. I must say that I have appreciated it more each time I have played and can see how it has many subtleties and nuances that have to be mastered. The Redan 7th hole is probably the best rendition of this hole design anywhere outside of the original at North Berwick. In the five attempts I have made thus far I have been unable to hit the green.
Comparing Shinnecock and The National is inevitable since the two courses are immediately adjacent to each other. It is in some ways like comparing Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. I will paraphrase the famous quote comparing Nicklaus and Palmer: "God will give you the talent (Nicklaus) but they will like you more (Palmer)". To my mind, Shinnecock is Jack Nicklaus and The National is Arnold Palmer. Maybe Shinnecock is a better course, but I like The National more.
Maidstone Golf Club (ranked #61 in the world) is the least known of the three top ranked courses in the Hamptons. The course is located about 10 miles further east of Shinnecock and The National in East Hampton. While the course itself doesn't have the grandeur of the National or Shinnecock, it is worthy of its world ranking. It is the only one of the six top ranked courses on Long Island that is set on the Atlantic Ocean. Designed by John and Willie Park Jr. in 1891, it is a short course that has a weak start and a weak finish but shines in between. The fourteenth hole, a par 3 set among the sand dunes right next to the Atlantic defies description. Even the pictures I have attached here doesn't do it justice. The views are from the tee, below the hole and the view of the ocean from the green. It is on the short list of fine one shot holes in the world.
The world-class par four 9th hole at Maidstone

Action figures and accessories make great gifts for kids of all ages especially if it a character from a popular cartoon or movie. Kmart offers a complete inventory of action figures and other toys for your child.
While some action figures are great toys for children, you can find collectible figurines that increase in value over time. From "Hellboy 2" figurines to "Thundercats" action figures, you can select a toy that your child will love. However, the toy will be worth even more money in the future if you leave it in the box and store it on a collector's shelf.

You can even select a Mattel WWE Championship belt and other accessories such as the WWE "Colossal Crashdown Arena" playset.
Movies, TV and comics action figures can make playtime lots of fun. The Fisher-Price "Ready-to-Rescue Diego" is a great starter action figure for children ages three to five, and the Disney "Toy Story" Sheriff Woody doll is popular to kids of all ages. From PLAYSKOOL Transformers to Fisher-Price "Cars 2" action figures, your child can play for hours with his or her favorite character.
Regardless of the child's age, it's never too early or too late to enjoy playing with a fun action figure. From Transformers to Buzz Lightyear, you can find hundreds of figurines for your child.
