BingoBingo's comments:
on Chief Sizer Speaks
Let's have some tougher questions Emily and Dave! The issues are being softballed!
It's the officer culture that is a problem. Officers routinely LIE and face minor consequences. For example, you were repremanded in 2002 for lying and covering up for fellow officers in 2002 in the assault of citizen James Ladd.
They falsify official reports to justify an arrest after the fact when the real purpose of the arrest was to punish anyone did not display deference to their oversized egos.
Frashour (*shooter of Aaron Campbell) was not honest when he said that he Tasered a citizen who was videotaping police because he thought his camera could be used as a weapon. "Contempt of cop" is brutally enforced with little consequences for the officers.
What are you willing to do to weed out the bad cops who continue to damage the reputation of the PPB?

The 2013 Whatcom Transportation Authority budget, which should be approved Thursday, Nov. 15, calls for deficit spending even as it projects improving sales tax revenue and a fare increase in the fall.
The transit agency is struggling to make ends meet as it faces a 20 percent increase in health benefits next year. It will operate at a $1.3 million loss next year, the same as 2012.
WTA staff is negotiating with union employees on a cost-saving solution - possibly switching to a state insurance pool. Out-of-control costs are part of the reason why the budget will grow by 7.6 percent next year, faster than projected revenues.
WTA's budget is supported by $21 million in cash reserves.
More than three-quarters of an anticipated $24.6 million in revenue in 2013 will come from sales tax. WTA officials are projecting a 3 percent increase in sales tax revenue compared to this year. In the first nine months of 2012, sales tax revenue is 4 percent higher than the same period a year ago.
Local agencies with authority to collect sales tax are benefiting from Canadian shoppers.
"We are among the more fortunate," said Patricia Dunn, director of finance. "Some transit agencies are below 2011 receipts."
A 25 percent fare increase, to $1.25 for a single ride, is proposed to lower the agency's deficit. The public will have a chance to comment on the fare change at community meetings and a formal public hearing, yet to be set.
The board of directors will vote on the 2013 budget at its next meeting, 8 a.m. Thursday at the Whatcom County Courthouse, 311 Grand Ave.

T.J. Hill, far left, U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler and Ashley Powell were among many who attended the dedicaiton of the new Stanford EMS headquarters Friday. The facility was named for the late Cindy Snow Hill, wife of Stanford EMS Board of Directors Chairman T.J. Hill. (Ben email@example.com / October 25, 2012) |
STANFORD — A who's who of Lincoln County leaders showed up Friday afternoon to dedicate the new Stanford EMS headquarters in memory of a Lincoln resident who is fondly remembered by many. The new facility is located on U.S. 27 south of Lincoln County High School.
The newly named Cindy Snow Hill Memorial Emergency Medical Services and Training Complex houses living space for on-duty EMS personnel, a large vehicle bay, training space and more.
The complex's namesake, Cindy Snow Hill, was the wife of Stanford EMS Board of Directors Chairman T.J. Hill. After becoming unexpectedly ill in 2011, she died March 31.
David Gambrel opened the dedication by leading the more than 80 people gathered in a prayer. Gambrel said he had mixed emotions about the event because "I'd rather it be named for someone else, because I'd rather her still be with us."
Following EMS Director Ashley Powell's introduction and welcome, many local leaders, along with U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler, spoke about Cindy Hill and her dedication to her Lincoln County community.
Chandler said he has known T.J. Hill all his life and counts him among his closest friends.
"Cindy Hill was a truly lovely human being and there are many people who will miss her greatly," he said. "I am so sorry that you all (Snow and Hill families) lost her — so sorry we all lost her."
Incoming state Rep. David Meade read a statement memorializing Cindy Hill that was passed by the Kentucky House of Representatives after her death.
"Cindy Darlene Snow Hill will be deeply missed by all whose lives were touched by her remarkable presence," Meade read from the statement, signed by House Speaker Greg Stumbo and Boyle Rep. Mike Harmon.
Fort Logan Hospital President Mike Jackson said it "warms my heart" to see a place such as an EMS headquarters, which has a mission of serving the community, dedicated to a person who was similarly community-focused.
Cindy Hill served as a Sunday school teacher and treasurer at Kings Mountain Christian Church. She also helped lead Cub Scout Pack 148 in Stanford and served on the Lincoln County Educational Fund board.
Her husband T.J., who works as a Stanford police officer in addition to his EMS board duties, said even after she got sick, Cindy still was more concerned about the well-being of those around her.
"She was a tremendously community-oriented individual," he said. "A truly remarkable woman."
T.J. Hill said he is proud to work with an "amazing" team at Stanford EMS and commended Powell for his work as director, crediting him with making the move to the new headquarters possible.
"We wouldn't be here today if it weren't for Ashley," he said.
Lincoln County Judge-Executive Jim Adams said Stanford EMS made an excellent move and the new location will improve quality-of-life in the county and make it more attractive place for people to move to. It's a much-needed upgrade from the EMS' former location on South Second Street, he said.
"They've been in a flooded building for quite a few years now and they've trudged on," he said.
In 1996, more than five feet of water flooded the old EMS headquarters and flooding has threatened multiple times since, including in 2011, when the building had to be evacuated.
Stanford EMS purchased the property and buildings that are now its new headquarters for $199,900 in April. T.J. Hill estimated earlier this year that renovations to the two buildings would cost about $50,000.

After several years of moderating costs, there are signs the rate of increase in Massachusetts health care prices — and insurance premiums — may soon start accelerating again, exceeding a heralded cost cap set by the state last year.
Three factors are threatening to push residents' annual health care costs up faster than the state's overall rate of economic growth:
That's because of the MA heaath care law. And that's the REAL reason that Deval wants to raise taxes now,,,It has NOTHING to do with improving education or transportation....The WSJ reported on this several weeks ago. And if MA accepts the ObamaCare Medicaid Exchanges, the health care costs will greatly increase.
So if we accept your premise that the current law has not controlled excessive rises in health insurance, let's hear how it would have gone without it. The answer: through the roof. Our law has expanded coverage but not done enough to streamline bureaucracy, provide uniform pricing for the same services, and not allow patients or subscribers select who they feel gives them the care they want. Other developed countries have approached this more rationally with decreased costs and the same or better level of service. By the way was the almost non reference from the WSJ on the front page or the opinion page? The difference in one of accurate reporting on page one versus pure flim flam in their editorials.
Oh poor Miker6, your ignorance continues to amaze. MA has already satisfied the requirement for insurance exchanges, has had one for years, ours was the model for the Affordable Care Act. If you don't like the health care environment here in MA, maybe you should move to Mississippi, or Alabama, I'm sure costs are lower.
Because health care reform has yet to address the greed of insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, and for-profit hospitals (and I count many of the so called non-profits as for profits given the salaries of the CEOs of Partners Health Care, et.al)
The Mass Health care, and Obama Care are all destined to fail, why? Because they deal with how we PAY for health care, very little to do with controlling the costs. So for all the people that post comments ask yourself these questions; are you overweight, do you exercise, smoke, ever used or know someone who used the emergency room for a non-emergency (not sure what that is: if you checked in and after describing your health issue Nurses and Doctors didn't pop out from all over and whisk you off to a room...it was a non-emergency), question your Dr. about the test or medication he/she was recommending or asked for a medication you saw advertized on TV, ever check the sugar/salt content in the processed food you consume.... you are the reason COSTS are rising.
The fact that pharmaceutical companies advertise on TV like they're selling cars tells it all...just count the number of "medical" related ads you see in an hour of TV,, they out number all the other ads combined. Why on earth should they need to advertise to the public...because they're selling a product...and we pay.
Personal responsibility, recognizing that when it comes to health care everyone pays for the decisions we make as individuals. I know I know, that's too obscure for the average person to wrap their mind around, but it's the bottom line. We, as a nation, need to come to grips with the fact that we are heading down a very treacherous and expensive road, unhealthy habits, aging baby boomers and childhood obesity are going to drive the price of healthcare through the roof.
The 2012 Massachusetts Healthcare Containment Law contained two key proposed provisions that would have specifically addressed several cost drivers mentioned in this article. The proposed provisions were that Hospitals with high prices would have to pay a luxury tax, and Hospitals in networks would have to negotiate their insurance contracts separately. In response, Partners Healthcare Chairman Jack Connors requested a meeting with Massachusetts legislators in which he stated " 'This is overreaching,' he cautioned the speaker and other key House members. Too much regulation, he warned, referring to the health care industry, could hurt the golden goose."* The Massachusetts legislature obediently took out the two proposed provisions. As long as the Massachusetts government, including the legislature and the Attorney General, lacks the power to actually oppose Partners Healthcare on anything meaningful, we will continue to see continued price increases. *Connors meeting quote taken from Liz Kowalcyck, "Hospitals Mobilize on Health Care Bill; Fearing 'Overreach' by state, they mount lobbying blitz." The Boston Globe 20 May, 2012
The amount of money available for health care is a pie. That pie is created by our health care premium dollars and out of pocket payments. Think about how the pieces of that pie are doled out. Every prescription drug ad is evidence of ad execs, tv station owners, news readers on tv, camera operators running the cameras, etc., all getting a piece of the health care dollar. It is no longer available for health care. Meanwhile, another disproportionately big piece of the pie is taken by insurance CEO's, getting salaries to put them comfortably in the 1%. Also in the insurance industry are all the rest of the highly paid management staff. Many of them get paid higher salaries than health care providers who are at least as highly skilled as the business team, if not more so. Again, that money is not available for health care. Further afield we have the landowners who own and charge rent for medical facilities. They get to raise the rent whenever the spirit moves them. Providers have to pay those rent increases independent of any increase in reimbursement. Those landowners are also getting a piece of the health care dollar, without being accountable to anyone for anything.
It is safe to say that lobbyists, for either side of the debate, are probably getting health care dollars, siphoned off from someone's account somewhere. Lobbyists appear to all be talking through their hats. They come up with numbers which seem to be pulled out of thin air. But it is their job to fight for the side that purchased their fighting skills. Again, the money used for that fight is now diverted from patient care. How many people are actually getting part of your health care premium who have no direct connetion to the health care you're going to need? The list is rather impressive. It could go on for pages.
Keeping health care costs down cannot be limited to finding new models to pay the direct provider, such as accountable care organizations. Holding costs down, realistically, needs to be taken on with a realistic appreciation for the vast web of people who are all taking a piece of the pie.
There seems to be a direct relationship between the price of a new Lexus, BMW and Mercedes and healthcare costs. The doctors and upper management in healthcare don't drive no Kia.
How muchof the cost is brought on by providing health care to ILLEGALs, who have no right to be here but can DEMAND free (to them) healthcare, housing, schooling etc. and our pandering politicans like Deval, McGovern, Tsongas and Eldridge advance their claims at the expense of the TAXPAYERS.
I know someone on MassHealth who visits her primary care doctor at least once a week, he also gives her vitamin B12 shots. She also sees her specialists at least once a month. She is not particularly sick, but figures it doesn't cost anything and she likes chatting with the secretaries at the offices. Her allergy meds and stomach meds that are over the counter are covered. The rules that govern private pay insurance do not apply to MassHealth, so she spends thousands a month and she is not alone. "Free" for her translates to increased costs for us.
MassHealth has a 24-hour toll-free fraud hotline where you can report fraud, waste, or abuse relating to MassHealth:
- MassHealth Fraud Hotline: 1-877-437-2830
Hotline hours are Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, to speak to a person. At all other times, you can leave a voicemail message. You can use the hotline to report member or provider fraud, identification theft, or any other concern about misuse of MassHealth benefits and services.
This comment has been removed.
A lot of bloggers do not have it right as far as what ObamaCare is vs. the MA health care law. At this stage, MA like 24 other states has accepted responsiblity for implementing the Medcaid health care Exchanges. That's because they re expecting to receive "Free Money" from the Federal government for startup costs. ..No state, including MA has actually set up Medicaid Exchanges. The hospital lobbies in every state has asked governors to accept the federal money. But what none of the states' governors want to hear is that the Free Money spigot will be reduced or end in short order afterwards...But then when the states want to reduce coverage Kathleen Sibelius will invoke the "Maingtenance of Effort" provision in the Act. That states once a state has accepted federal money that a state cannot reduce coverage for any reason..Even if this means that the state has to cut essential services elsewhere..In the worst case scenario, in order to avoid being SUED by the Justice department, a state would have to declare bankrupcy...If you don't believe this, I would suggest that you READ THE LAW...Since the Globe never will supply a link to the 2009 Affordable patient care and Protection Act, here is a link...

Elizabeth Wasserman: Why did you start looking at server virtualization?
Jonathan Bryce: We run about 30,000 websites and applications right now and 10,000 databases. We have a lot of customers and a lot of traffic we manage for our customers each month. We take a lot of the headaches off their plate by putting the headaches on our plate. We have hundreds of servers and many networks we have to manage. As we started to scale up over the last year, we were having problems managing everything on separate physical servers. That is why we started looking at virtualization.
The great thing about virtualization is it separates all the stuff that's installed on the computer — the operating system and all the software — from the actual physical computer. We can basically make an image of a server and move it around between different hardware. If a server needs more capacity, we can take what was running on one physical box and see if we can move it to another physical box that has more capacity. The same thing is true if a server fails; we can take what was running on that server and move it to another server without a problem.
Wasserman: How has this helped business?
Bryce: A lot of places are adopting virtualization for testing environments and server consolidation. They want to take 50 servers all on different boxes and virtualize them down to five physical boxes for cost savings, and save power and more room in their data centers. That's not really the benefit we were looking for. We wanted to be able to virtualize our environment to help us to manage it better. We have grown almost three times this year in size in terms of the infrastructure we manage and resources we run for customers. Having a server is like having a car. Having 300 servers is like having 300 cars. There's always one that has a flat tire or needs an oil change. There is always something wrong with one of them. Being able to separate the server software and everything running on a server from the actual physical hardware, it really helps with the management side of things.

Elective Medical Services
boob-jobs or liposuction. Here's the scenario, and this was a real scenario, a lesbian couple want to get pregnant and they have a male donor, but the doctor refuses to do the service because he doesn't approve of the lifestyle. Should he be compelled to provide this elective service? (*throws the bone to the dogs and waits for it . . .*) |
eldude 31-Aug-06, 13:05 |
Good question
Yes a doctor should be able to refuse
As for the lesbian couple. Well they can legally adopt so I see no reason why they can not legally get pregnant. This one can be a bit of a slippery slope though. If doctors are allowed to refuse to treat elective patients based on their lifestyle, how far is it till they start to refuse to perform legitemate procedures for the same reasons? I suspect that this may already be happening. A doctor's decision should be made based on what is in the best interest of the patient, not their own sensibilities. |
I disagree
Also, mozz, did you just say that artificial insemination for lesbians is an illegitemate procedure? Gasp! Next you will say dwarf-chucking is inhumane. Speaking of boob jobs, does anyone know anything about penis enlargement surgery? Or...are we not allowed to talk about penis size in here? Just boobs? Ok, gotcha. |
I try not to think about penis enlargment surgery, the thugh of someone mucking around with my old fella with a knife makes me feel very uncomfortable. As for the belief system, I can't really agree with you. A doctor needs to put the patient first, that was the intent of the hippocratic oath. I will admit though that if a doctor does not believe in what they are doing then the patient may be well advised to seek help elsewhere. Theory and practice rarely coincide in the real world. |

Hippocratic Oath�Modern Version
judgement for other cosmetic surgeries and treatments. Hippocratic Oath�Modern Version: I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow. I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism. I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug. I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery. I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God. I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick. I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure. I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm. If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help. |
mozz: it seems to me that you are arguing that people are traying to make it illegal, and that doctors need to always put the patients health in mind and should not discriminate. You just midunderstand medical ethics - in an emergent situation for any persos all doctors will treat that patient the same as any other because it is about life/death, and health. kop: the health deals with the practice of treating disease, elective procedures like this are not treating any disease A physicians should not be forced to do something to you that is not directly involved with treating disease. |

Deleted by zorroloco on 31-Aug-06, 20:45.
they, of course, should not deny people in any discriminatory manner. |
not approve of their lifestyle, an "unreasonable" basis for refusal of said service? What is wrong with making discriminatory decisions? How is IVF any less "elective" than a boob job? |
I would also consider reconstructive breast surgery for a cancer sufferer or a breast reduction to be different from a boob job as well. There is no sound medical reason for a boob job. If someone has BDD then they need psychiatric counselling, not surgery. |
A medical reason does not have to be a disease. These women are not asking for a medical procedure that is a result of an underlying psychological condition. |
artificial insemination do not treat" endometriosis. The endometriosis may be the reason that any female cannot get pregnant, but IVF and AI (artificial insemination) are not treating the endometriosis. By witholding IVF and AI to *anyone* is not witholding medical care because it does not treat disease any more than a boob-job treats disease. |
I'm not sure I understand your stance here.
disease we are talking about, it's a consequence. thre's a difference. let me see if I can make the distinction by analogy: asthma is a common condition that most of us are familiar with because we all know someone who has this condition. Simply it is a disease of the airways that makes the airways over- reactive, causing constriction of said airways, air trapping, a difficulty breathing. Now medicine treats this condition in two ways generally (depending on severety), 1)treats the underlying infamatory process itself, the disease, with steroids, and 2) treats the symptoms, such wheezing, cough, and sortness of breath with direct bronchodialators. Now if one of these folks want to run a marathon and they cannot, is this now a "symptom" of their disease? No it's just a conequence. There may be things that medicine can do to help the asthmatic run a marathon, but it is not withholding treatment of a medical condtion to refuse to try to help an asthmatic run a marathon. Maybe this is more clear? |
OK, I think we may have our terminology in hand.
With this in mind, I still believe that the doctor should perform the procedure. What they are asking for is legal and not as a result of a psychological disorder. |

After the Bibb County school board approved transferring Ron Collier from chief financial officer to the position of director of capital assets and contracts on Thursday evening, Colliers lawyer Jerry Lumley revealed that Collier filed a lawsuit in Bibb County Superior Court against the school district Thursday.
The lawsuit alleges that Superintendent Romain Dallemand stripped him of his duties over the systems finances in retaliation for not writing a check related to a federal program.
Collier refused to write a check in July for a $1 million invoice for a nonprofit organization called Central Georgia Partnership for Individual & Community Development.
That organization is related to the Macon Promise Neighborhood, a federal grant that aims to improve the lives of children living in the neighborhoods around Ingram-Pye and Hartley elementary schools, Ballard-Hudson Middle School and Southwest High School.
In the suit, Collier is seeking reinstatement for his position as chief financial officer, compensation for his mental anguish, humiliation and embarrassment, attorneys fees and trial by jury.
Collier and Lumley showed up at the boards meeting Thursday night at about 6:30 p.m., and Lumley said afterward it was the first time they had heard about the transfer.
On Wednesday, board attorney Randy Howard said he didnt know of any change to Colliers position as CFO.
When asked about the transfer Thursday night, Dallemand said the decision is a personnel matter and would not give details.
The suit says Collier raised questions about the invoice and asked Dallemand for more information. On July 20, Dallemand called Colliers home and said Colliers queries made Dallemand look bad, and Dallemand threatened to fire him if he didnt write a check by noon of that day.
Dallemand continued to press Collier on the check several days later, asking to pay the invoice not later than 5 p.m. on July 26.
Collier wrote a letter to Dallemand July 27, saying he had consulted with an attorney and consulted the states whistleblower laws.
I cannot in good conscience write the check, Collier said.
On July 31, Collier and Dallemand spoke to school system attorney Patrick Millsaps, though the documents dont indicate what came of that meeting. Later, Collier said he was excluded from conversations on the Macon Promise Neighborhood grant until Oct. 18, when the board approved a resolution about the grant.
After that meeting, the school districts attorneys instructed Collier to pay the invoice. Collier did approve the invoice, paid with school funds, according to the lawsuit.
The suit then notes that the school board approved a contract extension for Dallemand on Dec. 3, and the superintendent accepted it on Dec. 7.
Three days later, on Dec. 10, Collier received a letter saying he would be placed on special assignment following an investigation into his department.
The letter, however, does not specify the nature of the investigation.
Since then, Collier had been reassigned to work in a back room in the school systems warehouse, the suit states.
Howard said the investigation wrapped up Wednesday, but he has not provided more information on its findings.
The vote to transfer Colliers job titles was split 5-3, with board members Tommy Barnes, Susan Middleton, Wanda West, Ella Carter and Tom Hudson in favor, and Lynn Farmer, Gary Bechtel and Sue Sipe voting against. Also by a 5-3 margin, Sharon Roberts was appointed interim CFO.
Farmer said she voted against Colliers transfer because she had not received enough information about the matter to make an informed decision.
Bechtel said after Thursdays meeting he was had not received information from the administration about Colliers suit.
(Dallemands) not willing to share those vital things the board needs to know, which is consistent, he said.

Put Away The Prozac, Apple's Just Fine: TheStreet
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After collectively holding their breath for several weeks, APPLE (AAPL) investors can finally begin to exhale.
With $600 only one small leg higher and within a reasonable bullish move, we may finally hear the last of the dire predictions of a $400 Apple. While investors that did their homework knew it would take a black swan event to crush the shares down that far, it didn't seem to prevent many in the media from declaring Apple is all but dead.
Some of the hyperbole is understandable. It's hard to make sense
of a market that places Amazon's (AMZN) share price above $200 while at the same time driving Apple's shares under $600.

Make money in real estate
Contrary to what many believe, there is still money to be made from buying and selling real estate. Despite the housing market bust, real estate industry, compared with the other industries, on a long-term basis is not dependent on trends. This of course means that despite the current down in real estate market, it will bounce back and will be strong as ever. In fact, real estate industry shall be here for as long as people are here because people will always need homes, places to conduct their business and places to develop.
And this is the reason why those who are smart enough know that now is the best time as any to invest in real estate. Many investors know that in just a few years , regardless of the economy people will start buying into real estate again. Why? Because the next generation shall be having families of their own and shall start their own businesses while the homeowners and business owners now shall still be young enough to live in their own homes and run their own businesses. So for investors, since it is now buyer's market and the price of properties is significantly low, buying real estate now means paying little now and earning big profit later.
For many who are not interested in investing in real estate, one can still earn significant profit by becoming real estate broker or agent. Although you may believe that it is hard to sell properties now, it is actually almost the same, depending on your personal selling techniques. Many who know how to approach real estate investors for instance will find working as real estate agent now very financially rewarding. And although you may not know of any investor, you can still earn a lot as real estate agent. For example, you can work as an agent or broker and still keep your job. You can then offer the properties to your colleagues or to your friends and families during social gatherings. And since many are facing foreclosure, you can then use your knowledge as an agent to help your friends and colleagues into moving to new home that they can afford. Also, with a little research on the side, you will then be able to locate other real estate property buyers.
In any case, if you are thinking of how to earn additional income, you should try selling real estate properties. You might be surprised at how easy it is and how much money you can earn from it.

Let's Draw the Line
This website provides information for parents and community members about the risks of underage drinking and proven ways we can help more teens.
Help Teens Have a Graduation to Remember
By Sharon Foster and Michael Langer
Many teens are making plans for senior week and graduation. While these are fun and safe events for most, there is a higher risk for underage drinking. Parents and other adults can help keep teens safe by being informed and prepared.
Most students in Washington make healthy choices, but some are pressured to make alcohol part of their celebrations. Some teens may think of graduation night as a "rite-of-passage" event that should be celebrated with alcohol.
The good news is that two out of three high school seniors choose...
More than 40 community groups register for Let's Draw the Line 2013!
More than 40 Washington community groups and organizations have applied for $2,000 each to support spring 2013 activities to emphasize the importance of drawing a line between alcohol and youth. Registrations are now cloased for the 2013 campaign.
The 2013 Let's Draw the Line Between Youth and Alcohol campaign projects are based on direct input from past participants. LDTL 2013 has two required projects and two optional projects selected by communities.
Participation in past LDTL campaigns has been a powerful community involvement opportunity.
* LDTL materials are available by clicking here.
It's Time to Spring into Action
Springtime means our teens are spending more time out and about with friends, going to proms, and graduating. It also means more teen parties to celebrate these events. Along with our other spring rituals (spring training, spring cleaning, spring planting), this is a good time to make sure teens know our expectations about alcohol use.
Results from the latest Healthy Youth Survey, administered last fall, tell us that youth alcohol use is continuing to decline. However, about one in four 10th graders and more than one in ten 8th graders reported they had at least one drink in the past month. Only 40 percent of 8th graders say their parents have talked to them more than once about not...

Horrible customer service, especially Trevor, and he's a manager! They previously messed up an order of mine (very bad I might add) and I was told a credit was on my account. When I attempted to use the credit, Trevor said no credit existed and did not believe me! When I asked for the owner, the credit suddenly appeared. No apology from Trevor or anyone else, in fact he was very rude! Do NOT order from there, unless you like your food messed up and treated with disrespect!
The Seaso-bites are great but the pizza is generally lacklustre. In spite of this I still order from them in hopes that one day the pizza that looks so amazing on their website will not come to me in the form of a greasy cheese-and-veggie-covered crust-platter.

Tested Methods to Increase the Power of Your Clinic Ads, Flyers, Sales Letters and Promotions
by Gavin Hurlimann
What makes one clinic marketing promotion get a huge response and another to fail miserably? More often than not, its the execution. Its the way you do it.
All advertising and marketing is based on fixed principles. Advertising operates according to fundamental laws and not chance. These laws and principles were set out by Claude C. Hopkins (1867 1932) in 1923. They are based on 36 years of tested and monitored advertising ads, letters and promotions whose results were monitored and compared.

i got Inventor recently, and i've been working on a model of a longboard just to teach myself how to use the tools in Inventor. right now i'm trying to color areas for the griptape pattern so i drew the 2D pattern and projected it onto the 3D model of the longboard. but when i tried to split the faces of the model along the projected pattern only a few of the projected lines split the faces. for other faces i kept getting these errors:
Create parting line failed
Crane.ipt: Errors occurred during update
Split11: Could not build this Split
The attempted operation did not produce a meaningful result. Try with different inputs.
i have no idea what to do to fix this. help?

You do not have to create a 3D sketch - you can split a part face directly with a 2D sketch.
My recommendations:
You are doing wayyyyyyyy too much work.

NORTH ADAMS -- A city woman was taken to the hospital after being rescued by neighbors from her burning apartment on Isbell Street on Monday afternoon.
Fire Director Stephen Meranti said Patricia Heller was taken to North Adams Regional Hospital by North Adams Ambulance Service for smoke inhalation after being rescued from her home at 4 Isbell St.
"It came in as a reported structure fire with people trapped in the apartment. The police officers who were first to arrive at the scene reported the occupant was out of the building," he said.
When the first fire engine arrived, the crew reported light smoke coming from the structure, he said. The fire was reported at 5:09 p.m.
Meranti said a preliminary investigation indicates the fire started when a lamp on top of a washing machine fell off and landed on some combustible material.
"We found fire in the bedroom, and it was just the contents of the room. It didn't get into the structure," he said.
The apartment, part of Greylock Valley Apartments, will be condemned by the city Health Department for the time being, he said. Heller does have a place to stay, he said. North Adams Housing Authority staff was at the scene.
Heller was reportedly pulled from a bathroom window by neighbors Tabatha Rogers and Heather Rohane, of Sullivan Street.
Rogers said that Rohane, who is her sister, saw some commotion in front of Heller's apartment and smoke coming from the
"It took us three times, but we got the window open enough to pull her out," she said.
Rogers said the first two times Heller opened the window, the window hit the safety locks, which prevented it from opening all the way.
"You could tell she wanted out of there, and if we didn't get that window open on the third try, I was going to have to break it," she said.
While Rogers and Rohane were trying help Heller out of the bathroom window, Cindy Vilayvanh, and Grant Amos Jr. and his wife, Angelique, were at the front of the apartment also trying to rescue Heller.
Vilayvanh said the neighbor living in the apartment next door could hear Heller screaming for help.
"We knew she was in there. We tried to find her, but we couldn't get past the door to the kitchen because of the flames," she said.
Angelique Amos, who is Heller's cousin, said she didn't think twice about going into the apartment to rescue Heller.
"I went in because it's my own blood," she said.
Grant Amos Jr. said that once he got past the front door, he couldn't breathe.
"It was scary, especially with it being that we couldn't find her," he said.
Heller has two children and they weren't injured in the fire, but one of her two cats was rescued by firefighters. A dog also escaped unharmed.

Getting Bullish On P3 By Shaunt Yemenjian, Assoc. AIA
As I sat lodged in my club chair across the desk from one of best friends and an up and coming financial advisor - who's work hours and commitment to client satisfaction often resemble those of our own - I couldn't keep my gaze from the miniature bull that lined the forward facing edge of his desk. Small and static, yet somehow intimidating; it exudes a sense of optimism, aggressiveness and confidence. It's a common find in the world of investment advisors; a seven thousand pound version of it is even appropriately placed in front of the Standard Oil Building in Battery Park. Its message is one of a proactive attitude. Read entire blog entry.

Modernism verses Traditionalism is not new By Edward Shannon
In response to Modern verses Traditional, I have written exhaustively on this topic (I will spare you the long windedness, but soon I will have a blog that talks more about this). What I conclude is that it all comes down to personal preference. In other words, there is no moral imperative to deliver traditional (as they teach at University of Notre Dame) or the current Neo-Modernism being postulated in many of the architecture schools. What matters most is whether it is "good" or not and "good" can be a bit subjective. View the discussion thread on the Custom Residential Architects Network Discussion Forum.
Spray-foam insulation is a rather compelling way to insulate a roof assembly. I did my first one in around 1990. And ventilation is not really compatible with spray foam. In particular, vent slots can, in the life of a building, have fire move through them, and I hate lining the pathway with combustibles. But doing unvented assemblies is outside the comfort zone of many. There is a whole complex of relationships—from inspectors to warranties to concerns for product performance and more—that keeps the industry in a vented-attic mindset, when we should be exploring other, often better, ways of doing attics. Incidentally, the 1990 roof worked very well and the client was very pleased and the building inspector trusted our judgment and the Amish contractors really liked it. The asphalt shingles were replaced after 20 years with some composite product. [Bill Rose]

Ballet Talk Is Up and Open!
Posted 31 August 2007 - 06:36 PM
Board history: we called it that for purely technical reasons. The first Ballet Talk board did not allow ordering of forums. They went up alphabetically. I was going to call it Miscellaneous, but thought (wrongly, I now think) that I wanted it to be first, and that meant it had to start with an "A". And "Anything Goes" was all I could think of.
Thank you for asking, FF.
Posted 31 August 2007 - 11:25 PM
Although the name has changed from "Anything Goes" to "Everything Else Ballet," the link to the forum remains the same, and for anyone who has it bookmarked, you'll go straight to the forum.

With the loss of individual co. forums, I wonder if the local/regional co's will get lost in the shuffle, or on the other hand they might get more attention. We shall see.
One question is where to post general comments about a specific co. - "I like co. X because Y but wish they would do Z..." that kind of thing doesn't quite seem to fit Heads Up or Recent Perf's either. Any thoughts?
