I was the middle child. Justin was eighteen, I was seventeen, and Mimi was just turning eleven. My mother never wanted us to grow up without someone, which was why were weren't always that far apart from each other in age. Everyone I knew thought that their families weren't ideal. Mine was perfect. Justin was my best friend, and Mimi was my everything (there was nothing I did where she didn't tag along, and I loved it). Our family was indescribable – camping trips every other weekend, game nights, bonfires in the back yard. In every single photo we took, there was never a frown, never a fake smile. They were perfect.
So when they died, my idea of perfection shattered.
The accident was so vivid in my mind – etched into my memories like a bad tattoo that would never be removed with time. We were coming home from a family trip to Seattle; home to Portland. Justin had been accepted to Dartmouth, and he would be leaving soon, so we thought we'd take one last trip while everyone was together. Dad was driving, paying attention to the thick sheet of rain. I was never afraid of the road, so I didn't think anything of it. Mom was playing with our puppy, Judo, our Golden Retriever. Mimi was asleep, her head resting on my shoulder, in her most relaxed state. Justin and I were talking, low, about school. It was about Jeanine, my friend, and how she had asked Brent – Justin's older friend – out on a date. Justin was okay with it. I wasn't that much. This was my last, untainted, memory of them. It would be the very last time I saw my parents' loving glances at each other – the last time Justin smiled. The last time Mimi was at peace.
Because it was then, in a sudden instant, that the sixteen-wheeler hit us.
I remember it all going black for me, and then waking up, dangling from where my seat belt held me. There was a lot of searing pain, I think, traveling up and down my right leg. I could feel that the calf part of my jean was wet and I could feel air along my leg. My eyes dragged around the overturned suburban. I remember thinking, if I'm alive, then so are they. But the odds had been against me. The driver of the big rig found me, screaming, trying to wake up my sister. After about twenty minutes, and falling into the pool of their blood when the seat belt gave, I realized the truth.
I was all alone.

Chapter One: Breathe Again
A month and a half had passed. Friends had taken me in while my parents' lawyers figured out what exactly could be done with me. My grandparents – on both sides – were too sickly to care for me. My aunts and uncles couldn't afford another child, let alone a teenager, living with them. Anyone else in my family couldn't handle me, the only survivor in the horrific car crash – unless you count Judo – a month ago, and my numbness. So, it was off to Forks to live with yet another family friend. Charlie Swan, a sheriff.
He offered to drive up to get me and Judo, but I refused, politely. I haven't set foot in a car of any type, even if it was a police cruiser. With some of the money my parents left me, I bought a train ticket. I had to buy Judo a dog carrier for him, but he was going to stay by my side. He suffered a small cut just above his ear during the collision, but it was my Mom who saved him from meeting an early death. I cringed at the memory. I cut my leg and bruised my face up pretty bad. My face looked yellow-ish now, but it was slowly healing. I stared out the window, trying to ignore my mind's flagrant regard for my emotions. I couldn't remember the last time I had a day without some kind of memory hurting me more than my injuries.
In the hospital, I cried and screamed as they wheeled in my family, the white sheets covering their faces. The police officer that stayed with me throughout the night had to listen to my crying. I thought it was just me, the only one who walked out without a scratch. Even the truck driver had a few broken bones. But me, I had to be spotless, injury free. Why couldn't it have been Mimi that lived? Or Justin, or Dad, or Mom? Anyone but me. I didn't deserve it. Mimi did. I cried the most when they buried her. I remember when she was born, me and Justin fought over who would take care of her, who would take her to school, who would brush her hair in the morning.
Now there wouldn't be any of that.
I held Judo closer to me as we waited for my train to show up. Everything seemed different now. I was just a mirror image of myself before everything. I was dead on the inside. I couldn't honestly remember the last time I had smiled about anything.
I sifted through my pocket for my ticket.
Forks, Washington, my temporary home until the lawyers found a new place for me to live. Charlie Swan, I barely remembered him. I'd seen him in some photos, of when Mom and Dad used to live in Forks. This was before Justin and I were born, of course. Dad moved here when he got transferred to the precinct in Portland. I didn't know what to expect in this new place. It was small. I knew that, so I knew that my moving there would not go unnoticed.
And that was the first thing I had hoped for.
On the train, I had tried to sleep. But sleep was so difficult lately, that I ended up staring out of the window at the blurs of trees and wildlife. Judo was sleeping on the makeshift bed I created atop the table in the booth I sat in. I used my parka that once belonged to Justin, and a sweater. He was able to sleep after all that happened. I hope that Charlie was okay with having a dog running around the house. I mean, Judo was trained to go outside, but sometimes Judo played rough. I scratched his head, the warmth emanating from his skin like a radiator, and listened to the soft rumble of his breath.
I thought back to when we had first gotten Judo. Justin nearly flipped when Dad told us about our surprise present. We had to choose between two black ones, a brown one, and Judo. It was originally Justin's present, but I couldn't help myself. The moment I saw Judo, I knew that he was the dog for us. Justin agreed at the moment Judo let out a little yip of joy. He was the only person I could trust at this point. Even if he was a dog. All of these memories hurt me like a knife to the heart. I wiped away a few tears, staring back out the window.
I saw wildflowers.
Staying away from the memories hurt worse than looking at them. I flipped through the pages of my journal, reading through my compositions. I remembered a time where they were joyous to read. Now, they seemed to show the emptiness. The poems didn't seem right anymore. It looked as though I was reading poems from Edgar Allen Poe – twisted and demented poems. Nearing the end of the journal, I came across the section with music sheets. I wasn't very good at writing down the symbols, but I could write music quite well. Mom taught me the piano, so I know a bit of it.
I closed the journal. Over head, I heard the conductor say on the loudspeaker, "Port Angeles junction, five minutes." It seemed too soon that I would make it.
Judo was happy now that he was no longer in the dog carrier. I put him on the leash I had bought him, the carrier in my hand and my duffel bag on the ground as I waited for Charlie. I could hear that it was raining outside. This caused me to panic a little. Charlie was going to be driving in the rain. Rain caused accidents.
Ever since the accident, any thought of being in a car caused some type of panic in me. As well as driving in the rain. It was because of the rain that the sixteen-wheeler hit us; he had been hydroplaning. And right now Charlie was going to be driving. My chest was already on the verge of tightening at the thought. I didn't know him very well, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't cause me to worry. But then again, what didn't cause an anxiety attack from me nowadays? I was most definitely the least relaxed person these days. But I had a lot on my plate now.
I sat down, before I had to result to taking medication to relax my nerves. Charlie would be all right. He was in law enforcement, so that should mean something. He was a safe driver and when anyone saw an officer, they would slow down in his presence. At least, that's what Dad would do. I felt a pang of guilt run through me. Everything reminded me of them, or him, or Justin.
"Rosaline Isaacs?" I looked up, to find a man in a police uniform staring down at me. I grabbed my duffel bag from the ground, juggling the carrier and Judo's leash. Judo started barking, a simple reaction to a stranger. I shushed him.
"It's Roe," I corrected slightly. Rosaline was a name that didn't seem to suit me as much as my mother had hoped for.
He smiled, or frowned, I wasn't sure. His mustache seemed to offer me the confusion. "Right, sorry. Well, I'm Charlie Swan." He offered a handshake.
I stared for a moment before accepting the introduction. "You went to school with my parents." That was about as much as I knew.
His gaze lowered for a moment. "I'm sorry for your loss."
That was all anyone could offer me at the moment. Their condolences were all they could give. But they didn't know the half of it. Everything was gone, taken away by some stupid truck. If only…
"Thank you," I mumbled. "This is Judo, I hope you don't mind." I pointed down to Judo, who was waiting anxiously to be pet or acknowledged. Charlie bent down to scratch behind his ears. Judo was thankful for the moment.
"House trained, right?" He looked up. I gave a quick nod. I set down my stuff to slip on my parka. Charlie took that as a sign that I was ready to leave. I had to take a deep breath first. Being in a car terrified me now. It wasn't just a simple idea of being in an accident – it was knowing the tragedy that an accident brought. I didn't want to deal with another devastating incident. Charlie walked us to the cruiser. I didn't expect anything else to be picked up in.
During the trip, Charlie said nothing. This seemed to be a perk in arriving to Forks. Judo sat in my lap, looking out the window. From my observation, Forks was different than Portland. Portland was a big city, and so there was very little green. Here it was like staring at a green alien planet.
Charlie looked over at me. "So, will you be needing a ride to school? If so, I can get you some decent transportation."
I shook my head. "I have some money; I'll buy a bike or something."
He nodded, but didn't seem finished with his conversation. If he expected me to get into any type of vehicle, then it would have to be indestructible. Otherwise there isn't a chance that I would ride in it.
When we arrived at the two story house, I was finally able to breathe again. Judo ran around the front yard, once I freed him from the leash, and got used to his new home. The rain was now just a trickle. I had just two bags, so it was easy for me to take everything in myself. "Welcome home," he said cheerfully. I didn't say much to Charlie as I followed him up stairs into the home.
My room was a pale blue, somber, with a small desk and rocking chair in the corner. I looked around, and saw a wrapped box lying on the edge of my bed. Charlie smiled. "I thought you would need one, for research and stuff."
It was a laptop, with a light lavender tint. It matched the covers on my bed. I tried to smile, but it was meager. "Thanks."
He nodded. "I'll let you get settled in."
This was a good thing, I guess. He didn't seem to talk much.
I spent the rest of the night, looking around my room and putting away clothes and setting up pictures. Sure, the pictures reminded me too much of the emptiness I felt, but it didn't seem right without it. Judo made a little place for him to sleep on the corner of my bed, and after my shower, I took my place as well.
I didn't sleep that well.
It was the crash again, causing me to scream even more. This time, it was different. Someone else, someone other than the truck driver, had pulled me out of there. A man with bronze hair and a beautiful face. Strange eyes, though – golden. He pulled me out with such force, such quickness, that I didn't even have enough time to breathe, let alone scream. He was pulling me away from the crash site, and I screamed and kicked for him to let me go back. I have to save Mimi, I have to save her.
I woke up, screaming her name. Judo was digging away at my blanket, trying to get close to me. I exhaled sharply, ashamed that I had scared him more than anything. This wasn't the first time that I had dreamt of the accident. But it was the first time that I had dreamt of that man. I couldn't remember much from him, just the eyes. I have never seen eyes as golden as his. Did it mean something?
I wasn't sure, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. I looked at my nightstand. Staring back at me was a picture of Justin, Mimi and me, all covered in snow. It was taken last year, when we traveled to go to hang out in the snow. I would have won that snowball fight, if Justin and Mimi hadn't ganged up on me. I held my breath, thinking that maybe it would stop the tears from coming.
They didn't.
{ thank you for reading, and I hope to enjoy reading your comments }

welcome and yeah :) Charlie is understanding
http://www.fanfiction.net/ is a better place to put fanfiction because it is specifically designed for it. It also has a bigger group of readings.
Thank you for your advice, but I'd prefer to stay away from fanfiction.net as it's a bit chaotic.. I prefer this site much better, thank you.

Managed Care Contracting Webinar Series
Now, in a post-health care reform world where managed care organizations (MCOs) are rapidly and permanently changing the way they pay and otherwise do business with physicians, it is imperative that you are able to negotiate and conduct business in a way that preserves your rights and maximizes your ability to reach your short- and long-term goals. This series of webinars will empower physicians and practice staff to do just that.
To help you meet the challenges of contracting activities in an environment where physician payment and delivery models are rapidly changing, the American Medical Association's(AMA) Practice Management Center has launched a LinkedIn group—the AMA Practice Efficiency & Management Group.This group is designed to encourage dialogue on a wide variety of issues—from contracting strategies, to billing and payment, to making the most of administrative automation—to help your practice run efficiently. AMA Practice Efficiency & Management LinkedIn Group today. If you don't have a LinkedIn account, you can open one for free here.
View all of the archived webinars and access related issue briefs on the following "hot topics" that are essential to achieve success in managed care contracting:
As physicians face the transformation of the health care payment and delivery system, it is imperative that physicians read and understand contract amendments before signing on the dotted line. Understanding new contract terms will only help your practice, even if you believe you lack bargaining power. The webinar includes a discussion and demonstration of the AMA's one-of-a-kind, comprehensive and empowering National Managed Care Contract (NMCC) database, which will show how simple it is to use this resource to help your practice adapt to an evolving health care landscape. It concludes with a brief description of the upcoming contracting "hot topics" that will be discussed in subsequent webinars. The discussion also highlights other related AMA resources, such as "ACO, CO-OPs and other options: A 'how to' manual for physicians navigating a post-health reform world, 2nd edition," and "Evaluating and negotiating emerging payment options."
Understanding the new ways physicians are being paid and the related transformation taking place in managed care contracting is crucial but will not by itself ensure your long-term success. In order to thrive in this evolving environment, your practice needs to be able to effectively negotiate contracts with managed care organizations. Negotiation is as important for your practice to understand as the details of new payment options, so your practice should plan to equally prepare for both. Without balancing your knowledge of new payment options with a fundamental understanding of negotiation, your practice may not be fully prepared. This webinar will help you plan for the negotiation process and give you strategies that others have found useful in managed care contract negotiations.

"Budget-based" payment systems include most of the new payment models designed to incentivize value rather than volume. These include capitation, bundled payment and shared savings arrangements, as well as those pay-for-performance systems that are based on achieving certain cost targets or outcomes, rather than on simply reporting whether certain activities were done. Under budget-based payment systems, rather than being paid for each service provided, physician income is tied to the physician's ability to successfully predict future utilization for a patient population, by thoroughly understanding the past utilization for a similar patient population, as well as how much it costs the practice to deliver those services. Successful navigation of budget-based payment systems requires mastery of concepts more commonly associated with health insurance than physician payment, including "actuarial soundness," "risk adjustment" and "risk mitigation." This webinar describes the key issues associated with budget-based payment systems and equips your practice with the tools you will need to succeed and thrive under these systems.
Related resources:
All budget-based payment systems link at least some portion of physician payment to the physician's assumption of risk for losses or overutilization. For example, in a shared savings arrangement, physicians may share risk of loss with the managed care organization, but in a capitated arrangement, may assume full risk for the utilization of their professional services. Physicians will not be able to monitor and manage assumed risk successfully unless the managed care organization regularly provides physicians with complete and accurate data reports concerning patient utilization, performance with respect to quality and efficiency measures, patient eligibility, etc. Physicians must also receive specific Division of Financial Responsibility Matrices and end-of-year claims reports that will enable them to perform claims and payment reconciliations. This webinar identifies the types of information that your practice will need from managed care organizations to monitor and manage risk, and outlines the rights your practice may have under state law to receive that information.
Related resources:
Even if budget-based payment systems ultimately replace fee-for-service (FFS) as the predominant means of physician payment, FFS will certainly play a major role during the transitional period from FFS to those systems, both as a benchmark against which physicians will want to evaluate alternative budget-based payment models and as a portion of physician payment, e.g., if specific services are "carved out" of the budget-based payment arrangement. It remains vital, then, that managed care organizations provide your practice with sufficient to help you understand fully how much you will receive for your services on a FFS basis. This webinar describes the types of information that you will need to obtain from the managed care organization, and the rights to that information that many states have given to physicians.
Related resources:
A managed care organization's (MCO) claims submission and payment requirements and procedures may be highly detailed and complicate your ability to receive accurate and timely payment for your fee for service claims. For example, MCOs have in the past engaged in either "no or slow" payment as a means of improving their bottom line by decreasing, or earning interest income on, physician payments. Fortunately, every state has implemented legal requirements that protect physicians and help ensure that physicians are treated fairly. For example, all states impose deadlines within which MCOs must pay or deny clean or complete claims and provide remedies when MCOs fail to timely and appropriately process physician claims. This webinar discusses your right to be treated fairly with respect to claims processing and the remedies that may be available to you when an MCO does not treat you accordingly.

Coordination of benefits (COB) continues to frustrate many physicians. Sometimes this is due to confusion about the COB rules themselves, e.g., how dual coverage for dependents of married couples or dependents of divorced or separated couples fits into the mix. But sometimes payers themselves can greatly complicate a physician's ability to be paid timely. For example, when two payers involved maintain that the other payer is "primary," the physician often has to "wait it out" until the payers resolve that dispute. Unfortunately, by the time resolution has been achieved, the deadline for claims submission to the secondary payer has often passed and that payer will refuse to accept the claim. This webinar discusses strategies that some of your peer physicians have found helpful when dealing with COB complications, including situations in which payers dispute priority. The webinar also helps clarify confusion by describing some of the common COB rules that can facilitate payment, e.g., the so-called "birthday rule."

Managed care organizations' (MCO) overpayment recovery efforts have plagued physicians for far too long. MCOs (or the third parties that they hire to perform these recovery efforts) frequently seek refunds of payments made years in the past, of which the physician may have little, if any, records. And many refund requests provide little, if any, identifying information, such as the patient's name or identification number, dates of service, payment amounts, the name or national provider identifier (NPI) of the physician who provided the service, etc., that would enable the physician to investigate the alleged overpayment's legitimacy or make crucial accounting adjustments. If the physician refuses to refund the alleged overpayment, MCOs simply recoup that amount from pending or future claims. This webinar discusses state laws that protect physicians and regulate MCOs' ability to pursue overpayments, by, for example: restricting the "look back," period; imposing requirements that refund requests must satisfy; and limiting the circumstances under which an MCO may pursue an alleged overpayment.

In general, an all products clause (APC) requires the physician to participate in all of the products or plans offered by the managed care organization (MCO), currently or in the future. These products may include a health maintenance organization (HMO), preferred provider organization (PPO), workers' compensation, automobile personal insurance, Medicare and/or Medicaid managed care, high deductible health plans, or self-funded employee health benefit plans or products. APCs can be problematic for physicians for several reasons. Many managed care contracts do not specify the products in which the physician will be required to participate, and the physician cannot refuse to participate in a product unless he or she terminates the agreement. Particular products may have administrative requirements that increase the practice's "hassle factor" and cost of doing business, or different fee schedules. The MCO may also want to pay your practice under a single fee schedule for all of its products, even though a fee schedule that may be acceptable for some product types may be wholly inadequate for others. This webinar discusses APCs, state law rights that may be available to you, and strategies that some physicians have found useful in dealing with APCs.

Managed care contracts frequently permit managed care organizations (MCO) to rent their rights to negotiated physician discounts to third parties. These third parties may be payers other than the MCO. But these third parties may also be nonpayers such as "repricers," network brokers, or rental network preferred provider organizations (PPO), which do not sponsor or administer health benefit plans but collect information concerning physician negotiated discounts. They then sell that information to MCOs with which the physician may, or may not, have a direct contractual relationship. When the physician submits a claim for payment to an MCO, the repricer, network broker, or rental network PPO reduces the claim payment by the deepest contractual discount to which the physician has agreed and to which the rental network PPO, repricer, or network broker has access. In many cases, the physician may not realize that a nonpayer has applied his or her negotiated discounts to claims payments until the practice receives an explanation of benefits or remittance advice listing unrecognized entities and payment rates representing the lowest discounts that the practice has agreed to accept. This webinar helps your practice identify contract language that allows MCOs to rent their discounts. The webinar discusses state laws that restrict rental network activity and tools your practice can use to counter discount rental activities.

Verification refers to the process managed care organizations (MCO) use to determine whether a patient is eligible to receive covered services under a health benefit plan. MCOs frequently make verification errors, e.g., representing to physicians that patients are eligible to receive services when, in fact, they are not eligible. The MCO itself may be responsible for these errors. Or the error may stem from the MCO not having up-to-date eligibility information. For example, although the MCO may have issued a verification based on information showing that the patient was employed by Company A, Company A may not have forwarded on to the MCO the most recent eligibility information indicating that, at the time of the verification, Company A no longer employed the patient. Mistaken verifications are a recurrent problem for physicians, because MCOs often contractually transfer the financial risk of erroneous eligibility verifications to physicians, meaning that MCOs may seek refunds from physicians who provided services to patients after erroneous verifications. This webinar helps your practice identify this "risk transfer" language in your contracts, and describes steps you can take to reduce that risk and any state-law based protections available to your practice.
Most, if not all, states have adopted extensive regulatory schemes imposing specific requirements on the utilization review processes that fully insured Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) employee health benefit plans and non-ERISA plans use to determine whether or not an item or service is medically necessary. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has adopted an extensive regulation governing the utilization review processes used by both fully-insured and self-insured ERISA plans. Pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, the DOL recently incorporated additional patient/physician protections into its utilization review regulation. This webinar describes common state-based utilization review protections, the DOL regulation and its recent pro-physician/patient amendments, and how your practices can make the most effective use of state and federal utilization review rights.
Managed care agreements typically permit the managed care organization (MCO) to unilaterally amend the agreement (in addition to extracontractual documents such as policies and procedures that may affect contractual rights and obligations). Physicians need to understand clearly the circumstances under which the MCO may amend the managed care contract, as the MCO's ability to amend the contract may have a significant negative effect on the physician, e.g., if the amendment causes a reduction in the physician's payment. Many agreements do not require the MCO to provide advance notice of proposed contractual changes. And even if the agreement requires such notice, the MCO is rarely required to give the notice in a way that is likely to attract the physician's attention. For example, the MCO may be free to list the proposed amendment within a multitude of unrelated and/or inessential information on a website. This webinar discusses how to identify and evaluate contract amendment language; provides possible language you might use to avoid the effects of a disadvantageous amendment; and discusses the state law-based rights that might provide additional amendment-related protections.

The relationship between physicians and managed care organizations (MCO) is becoming increasingly complex and adversarial. Physicians continue to complain about a broad range of unfair MCO business practices. When contracted physicians and MCOs come to an impasse over these business practices, physicians and MCOs often attempt to resolve disputes through "alternative dispute resolution" (ADR) mechanisms. "Alternative dispute resolution" generally refers to any means of resolving disputes other than litigation. Mediation and arbitration are the two most common forms of ADR, and of these two, arbitration appears much more frequently in managed care agreements. From a physician perspective, ADR can in some cases be a more effective means of dispute resolution than litigation, assuming the ADR process is structured appropriately. This webinar describes the general characteristics of ADR (particularly arbitration) and how ADR contrasts with litigation, how to avoid traps for the unwary in contractual ADR clauses, and the kinds of ADR structures than some physicians have found to be the most useful.

All managed care contracts have provisions addressing the agreement's term, termination, and renewal. Although the term typically ranges from one to three years, the agreement's termination and renewal provisions may significantly reduce or expand the time period during which the agreement is in force. Termination provisions may allow the managed care organization to cancel the agreement on very short notice, forcing physicians to scramble to find alternative sources of practice revenue. Termination language may significantly complicate a physician's ability to get out of a contract when the business relationship becomes detrimental. This webinar helps your practice identify problematic term, termination, and renewal language, and provides alternative language that might be more protective of physician interests. The webinar also describes some of the pre-termination due process rights that you may want to consider including as part of your managed care contract, and also includes a discussion of the due process rights that may well be available to you under state law.

In addition to the problematic contract clauses or "hot issues" that have been highlighted in previous webinars, this final webinar talks about a number of remaining managed care contract clauses that have caused problems for many physicians. These other clauses include most-favored nation, hold-harmless, indemnification, limitation on liability, limitation on damages, and so-called "gag" clauses. This webinar explains the effect of each of these clauses, and shows your practice how to identify these clauses when they appear in a managed care contract offered to you. The webinar describes steps many states have taken to prohibit, or at least restrict, use of these clauses, and shows your practice how to use the NMCC and NMCC database to determine what rights might be available to you.

mopx0 has installed Windows Vista 32 bit on the PS3, the whole process takes a huge amount of time and the end result is that the emulation runs very slow as evidenced by the fact it takes nearly 25 minutes to boot to the start menu.
To quote: It's a 100% PS3 based emulation of Microsoft Windows Vista. Its super slow, but it works.
Tutorial: Install Qemu 0.9.1
- Install Vista on your Computer using Qemu and Bochs Bios Rev 1.171 by sshwarts
- Vlite helps speed the install up, Vista's install may take a day or so
- Bochs Bios Revision 1.171 can be found here (http://bochs.cvs.sourceforge.net/bochs/bochs/bios/BIOS-bochs-latest?view=log&pathrev=MAIN)
- You may also need to add this command "-cpu pentium3" for qemu to work right
- Copy the .IMG to your PS3's HDD
- Open Terminal where the Vista IMG is located
- Type qemu -hda vista.img -m 256 -L "Location to Rev 1.171, Drag n Drop" -cpu pentium3
- The -cpu pentium3 option makes it so it doesn't BSOD with error code 7F
It will take about 25 min to fully boot (network connection and audio show up).

Recently expanded network has yielded impressive destination list. Lots of new airplanes.

Rolled pancetta can be thinly sliced and served as antipasto,
or cooked crisp and tossed with pastas or vegetables like green beans
and peas.
While American and English bacon is taken from the sides and belly of the pig and smoked, pancetta comes only from the belly. It has a more piquant (rather than smoky) flavor, and it lends a savory-sweet taste to an abundance of dishes, particularly risottos, pastas, soups and sauces. In Italy, there are numerous recipes titled "all'amatriciana," meaning "with pancetta."
The most common type of pancetta is rolled, but it can sometimes be found in straight, bacon-like slabs with all the fat on one side. In Italy, different regions produce their own special varieties. Southern Italians, for example, favor a spicy version dry-rubbed with ground red pepper.Buying Tips
Pancetta can be found in Italian markets or the deli section of many supermarkets where it can be sliced to order. It is also available pre-packaged in thin slices or whole rolls that are ready to be sliced or chopped as desired.Storage Tips
Pancetta can be tightly wrapped and refrigerated for up to three weeks, or frozen for up to six months.Substitution Tips
When pancetta is not available, try an unsmoked lean bacon or fatty prosciutto.Usage Tips
• Slice very thin and add to antipasto trays.• Sauté until crisp and toss with warm green beans.
• Toss into a butter lettuce salad with Anjou pears and toasted walnuts.
• Use as a pizza topping along with fontina cheese and red bell peppers.
• Bake slices until crisp and golden and top with goat cheese.
• Sauté with butter and stir into your favorite cornbread batter.

EDIT: Thanks for the FEATURE! I've never gotten one before! To answer some questions or thoughts... I agree that the ending might be a little anti-climactic. I think it was the best I could do though only because I didn't have the original cut score to the trailer... and of course the voice actor. I couldn't do the voice acting because they it would have come off amateurish (and I didn't want that). It's supposed to be similar. I wanted to try and create a retail product... something that could be released. I think I accomplished what I set out to do pretty well. I entered the trailer into some awards at school. Award picks are this friday... I'll let you know if I win! Anyways, enjoy! For a class project, I redid the audio to the Deus Ex: Human Revolution GDC Trailer. Basically I took the video file, stripped away all the audio, and started from scratch. The sound design is all my own... layering, sound effects, and foley! The score is edited together from other work...

Video essay. In an industry in which tentpole, or event films, are beginning to dominate the market and in an era in which videogames often match the visual flair of the silver screen, a fair question arises; if videogames comprise a more rewarding experience than watching a live action film.

That is until a new kind of Juujin appears-- Evolutions, EVOs for short. These Juujin have special magic-like powers that they are using against the human race.

I've said it for years: when you're the lesser team and you lose the turnover battle not only will you lose you'll get blown out(see week 15). Win the turnover battle and you have a chance.
I know it came from OJ Simpson, who later became a public villain. But this was one of the funniest jabs at Howard Cosell (with whom I had the pleasure to meet and talk to a few years before his death) during a Monday Night Football game that have ever heard.
From a Sports Illustrated article:
Unlike Earl Weaver, who served as Cosell's yes-man on the World Series, O.J. also merits a star for not being afraid to get it on with Cosell. Late in the second quarter of that New York-Buffalo game, with the Jets ahead 7-0, Cosell allowed that "if the Bills can get anything going, they'll be right back in this thing!" To which O.J. teasingly responded, "Howard, you've proved once again you've got a tremendous grasp of the obvious—to use one of your lines."
NFL Playbook did a nice piece tonight looking at the Ravens O-line play in that first game against the Broncos. You could see Oher, Osemele, and Reid getting beaten like drums repeatedly. The one play where Osemele lets Miller beat him (as if standing still) on an inside move is absolutely embarrassing. He didn't even do anything fancy, just a head fake outside and a sprint inside. Osemele barely moves. Miller was in Joe's face in about a second, he barely had time to get the throw off (on something that was virtually a quick slant). Reid was getting pushed back routinely. It was really, really bad.
I don't think McKinney is some magic bullet at the position, but you have to hope the alignment now gives them a LITTLE better protection overall. I said it after watching the first match-up on Game Rewind, but the O-line's performance in that game was maybe the worst I can ever remember. Joe's TERRIBLE throw / decision at the end of the half was the last straw, a bad play at the worst possible time that swung the game 14 points. But the line HAS to do better tomorrow. At the very least, the alignment is quite different, so we will see...

If your first rumor doesn't pan out, try, try again.
After earlier scuttlebutt about a purported iPad Mini announcement this week proved misguided, new reports now suggest the rumored pint-size tablet will be unveiled Oct. 23.
AllThingsD blog said Friday that Apple's (AAPL) next salvo in its war with competing tablet-makers will likely be fired off at an intimate gathering at its Cupertino headquarters, attributing the report to "people familiar with Apple's plans.''
The Bloomberg News service issued a similar report, quoting "a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be named because the plans aren't public.''
Apple did not immediately respond to the reports. But a smaller and less-expensive iPad would be a logical step by the company to thwart sales of similar tablets by Google (GOOG), Microsoft and Amazon. Those devices are easier to carry in a purse or suit pocket and cost around $200, far more affordable than the latest version of the iPad that starts at $499.
An iPad Mini would allow Apple to protect its retail flank, effectively corralling off that lower price point from its rivals.

Rinspeed adds an axle to the Smart car with the Dock+Go trailer
A three-axle Smart car might be a little weird, but for Swiss automaker Rinspeed, it's just par for the course.
The company started with a simple idea--everybody has two axles, so why not take three? The Dock+Go is what Rinspeed is calling its new trailer, which will "dock" to the rear of a Smart car. Rinspeed will unveil the Dock+Go at the Geneva motor show in early March.
The trailer can serve many purposes, according to Rinspeed, and it only has to tag along when the driver needs it. The trailer can be outfitted with a heater for a pizza-delivery driver or a toolbox for a craftsman.
For the environmentally friendly, the third-axle unit can store a battery pack, an internal-combustion engine or a fuel cell. That would enable the unit to feed power to the car and act as a range extender.
Rinspeed chief Frank Rinderknecht calls this the Vario-Hybrid, with a best-case scenario of charging the trailer with solar power from the garage roof.
We'll have more info on the Dock+Go, as well as other wild stuff from Geneva, closer to the press days of the show, which are March 6-7, 2012.

County Sued For Age Discrimination, Disability Act Violations
A lawsuit filed on behalf of a county employee seeks more than $2 million for each of four alleged violations.
A 71-year-old man who claims the county forced him into retirement has filed suit in federal court alleging age discrimination and violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
William Galanti, a 30-year employee of the county's highways bureau, filed the claim this week in U.S. District Court in Baltimore. The four-count suit alleges one count of age discrimination as well as being forced to submit to illegal medical exams, harassment and illegal discharge.
The suit sees more than $2 million plus interest and attorney's fees for each of the four counts.
"Mr. Galanti is a fabulous gentleman who for over three decades did hard work for the county and the community plowing snow and digging ditches," said Kathleen Cahill, an attorney representing Galanti. "In the end, he gets injured on the job and this is how the county treats him and it's wrong."
Ellen Kobler, a county spokeswoman, declined to comment on the suit.
Galanti was 69 in February 2011 when he fell and fractured his hip while on the job. He filed for workers compensation. The county required Galanti to submit to medical exams performed by Dr. Peter Oroszlan, who ultimately found that Galanti was not fit to return to the job despite being discharged from physical therapy ahead of schedule and cleared for work by his own doctor, according to records filed in federal and Baltimore County Circuit Court.
Faced with termination, Galanti opted to take full retirement. The lawsuit alleges that the county, without Galanti's permission, changed his retirement status to that of a disability retirement which resulted in a loss of survivor's benefits for his wife. The suit alleges that the county made the change in an attempt to cut off worker's compensation benefits.
Galanti appealed the change to the Baltimore County Board of Appeals. In October, the board ruled in Galanti's favor and ordered the county to restore his full retirement benefits.
In the decision, the board wrote that they believed "Dr. Oroszlan was hired for the purpose of finding that Mr. Galanti could no longer do his job as a result of his injury."
The board added that the county "had no legal basis from which to withhold the granting of retirement benefits."
The county has not restored Galanti's retirement benefits nor the survivor benefits for his wife and has filed an appeal in Baltimore County Circuit Court.
Cahill, on behalf of her client, has asked the court to order the county to comply with the Board of Appeals order plus any damages and attorney's fees the court sees fit to award.
In an interview, Cahill said the suit filed in federal court was part of a coming second wave of suits against the county involving disability act violations. She declined to say how many more are likely to be filed.
"What was done to Mr. Galanti was done to him and many other current and former county employees," Cahill said.
Earlier this year, the county entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice involving 10 employees. The county agreed to pay a total of $500,000 to the affected employees and submit to three years of monitoring by the Department of Justice.
In all of those cases, the county used Oroszlan to perform illegal medical inquiries. The court order bars the county from using his services in the future.
Cahill was the attorney in those cases as well as three other federal suits filed by two fire fighters and a police officer who claim they too they were forced out of their jobs after being forced to submit to what they claim were illegal medical tests.
The Towson-based attorney also represented Det. William Blake, who was awarded $225,000 by a federal jury that found that the county forced him to undergo illegal medical tests after he testified on behalf of another officer who had a seizure.
Last month, a federal judge ordered the county to pay more than $500,000 in attorney's fees related to 2010 decision in the Blake case.

With our aging workforce maybe it's time to revisit the laws regarding mandatory retirement age, which is currently unlawful in the U.S. for most professions. Pilots and law enforcement have legal mandatory retirement ages partially due to the effect their job performance has on other citizens. The idea of how your job performance can affect others can be extended to such professions as heavy equipment operators, where the effects of aging on the operator can result in fatalities of others around them. While most professions would not be affected, there are some where common sense dictates controlling the retirement age.

After 30 years on a job, it seems very unfair not to meet the retirement expectations under which the emplotee was most likely hired.

As a County taxpayer I am out raged that the County still sees fit to continue to conduct itself in a manner that has cost many thousands of our dollars for nothing but harrassment of employees. The County should fire those 'legal' advisors they have because of these many failed law suits. Where will all this nonsense stop? Where is the leadership of the County allowing this conduct to go on? The bleeding
of our taxdollars is inexcusable.
12:01 pm on Monday, December 24, 2012
John L., it appears that Mr. Kamenetz is afraid of Fred Homan just like Jim Smith was. Until KK grows a set (am I allowed to say that?) it will be business as usual. Fred must have a little black book with info on KK!

Making the most of life's transitions
For too many people, said William Kober, primary care doctor at Lawrence & Memorial Physicians Stonington, the sum of their medical care is a yearly visit with a specialist for one specific condition and trips to a walk-in clinic for treatment of an infection or injury, an approach he calls "piecemeal." Especially as people age, getting routine primary care with a trusted provider who looks at the whole person is essential, he said.
Most people put farflung travel locales on their bucket lists, but in Sharan Carney's case how she completes each journey - alone and on foot - is just as important as the destination. She prefers ancient paths because "I love walking in the footsteps of 1,000 years of people's footsteps."

Living longer, learning more
Age brings emotional changes: Know when to act
Distributed in the Sept. 30 edition of The Day.
Hello and welcome to The Age of Choice, a publication that highlights issues and trends common to the second half of life.
Many of us in the "sandwich generation" — caring for children as well as older relatives — struggle with finding the resources and guidance to help our loved ones make the decisions that inform a high quality of life. Through their experiences, we see the need to plan for our own long-term health and happiness.
Love and laughter go a long way. Gail Tyler of Groton Long Point (pictured on our cover with her daughter, Marie Tyler Wiley, and son-in-law, Kip) gets help moderating her low-level health conditions from her 10 children, "who adore her," Marie said. When something doesn't suit her though, she teases her kids that she's taking her complaint straight "to Management."
"Our mom gave selflessly for all of our lives," Marie said. "Now it's her turn to relax and let us take care of her."
It is our sincere hope that readers can find useful tips from the stories contained herein, and information that helps to craft a richer, deeper life, as we greet the years to come.

I trust Pat Yasinkass sources at one Buc Place. He reported the gossip that they were looking at Milliner and Banks (trading up or down) and that a significant amount of people felt Banks was the way to go. [/size]
Can't really see the G-Men trading up for Teo since there's a very good chance he's available at 19.
The idea of trading down and still getting Banks is great , but then he went and wasted all those other draft picks on bums.
