- Get involved with today's game by tweeting your thoughts using #wearedorch.
Magpies 3 Bromley 2
That's it! The Magpies have done it!
A huge cheer greets the final whistle as the Magpies celebrate a 3-2 win over the league leaders.
Is this the start of the run that could get Dorchester out of the relegation zone?
Magpies 3 Bromley 2
Don't fear, Jamie Gleeson is here.
Gleeson slots in a Losasso cross to put Dorchester back in the lead in the 90th minute.
What an end to this game!
Magpies 2 Bromley 2
Heartache for the Magpies as Bromley equalise through Louis Dennis.
Magpies 2 Bromley 1
It's going to nervy last eight minutes for the Mgapies as Jay May shoots left-footed past Walker-Harris to halve the deficit.
A crowd of 417 has been announced for today's game, double that was here on Tuesday night.
There's a healthy contingent of Bromley fans.
67mins gone and Bromley have made a double substitution with captain Swaine and Waldren being replaced by Nic McDonnell and Ali Fuseini.
Mark Jermyn booked for a foul on Goldberg on 53 minutes.
Magpies 2 Bromley 0
Six minutes into the second half and another debutant, Ashley Yeoman, has doubled the Magpies' lead.
Smeeton played a low ball to the back post and Yeoman finished well from an angle.
The sun is out for the start of the second half as Magpies kick-off.
Elliott Buchanan is on for Joseph-Dubois for the visitors.
Magpies 1 Bromley 0
If the Magpies play in the second half like they did in the first then the three points are very much there for the taking.
But how much energy have they used up in getting into a winning position at the break?
And how much of an effect will the pitch have on their fitness levels as the games goes on?
So far, so good though.
Magpies 1 Bromley 0
Just a couple of minutes before the break and Nathan Craig, making his debut on loan from Torquay, finds the bottom corner of the net with an excellent free-kick.
No-one can say they don't deserve it based on the balance of play so far.
Walker-Harris makes a good save with his legs to deny Goldberg on 42 mins.
40mins Magpies 0 Bromley 0
You can't fault any Magpies players at the moment as they are making Skrill South leaders Bromley look decidedly second rate.
They just need that goal to really make it count.
32mins in and Magpies continue to hold the league leaders to a 0-0 scoreline.
Charlie Losasso has been one of the hosts' standout players so far and he just went for another long-range effort, but it flew wide.
23mins in and the game is beginning to open up a bit more now.
After Byerley swings and misses with his left foot for Dorchester, Goldberb beats Walker-Harris at the other end but his effort goes wide of the far post.
Still 0-0.
With 17mins gone you wouldn't know that it was top versus bottom here.
Magpies have had the two best chances and seem to be coping with the conditions the better.
The pitch really is in quite a state now with a couple of heavy showers causing it to cut up even more.
First half chance for Magpies on 9mins with Byerley header from Losasso free-kick gathered by Bromley keeper Welch.
Rain continues to fall.
Portsmouth referee Andrew Laver has blown his whistle to start the game and Bromley have just kicked off.
The heavens have well and truly opened here at the Avenue with 10 minutes to go before kick-off.
The pitch is already on the sticky side so what it will look like by the end of the game, who knows?
I'm at Dorchester Town FC (Dorchester, Dorset) http://t.co/zbeMCHCjst— @suzespencer 15 February 2014
Dorchester make two changes to the side that started against Havant on Tuesday with loan signings Ashley Yeoman and Nathan Craig replacing Ryan Case and Jack Twyford.
It looks like Sam Lanahan will drop to right-back in place of Case, with Craig in midfield and Yeoman in an attacking role.
Steve Walker is back in the squad after suspension and takes a place on the bench with Elliot Ward and Calvin Brooks missing out altogether.
Magpies: Walker-Harris, Lanahan, Smeeton, Jermyn (c), N Walker, Craig, Crittenden, Gleeson, Yeoman, Byerley, Losasso.
Subs: Makoni, Munday, Twyford, Case, S Walker.
Ashley Nicholls does indeed line-up in Mark Goldberg's midfield as the Lillywhites bid to strengthen their grip on top spot.
Former Weymouth man Pierre Joseph-Dubois is also included in the visitors' starting XI.
Bromley: Welch, Pooley, Anderson, Waldren, Swaine (c), Holland, Joseph-Dubois, Nicholls, May, Goldberg, Jarrett.
Subs: Parmenter, Dennis, Fuseini, McDonnell, Buchanan
RT @bromleyfc: ARRIVAL: The first team coach has arrived at Dorchester Town. Any predictions for the starting line up? #WeAreBromley http:/…— @skrill_south 15 February 2014
MAGPIES v BROMLEY
Bromley are 11 points clear at the top of Skrill South with 12 victories out of their last 14 league games - sobering statistics for the Magpies going into today's top-versus-bottom clash at the Avenue.
Former Dorchester midfielder Ashley Nicholls makes his first appearance back at the Avenue since joining Bromley last summer.
But the Magpies have been boosted by the arrival of two new loan signings from Torquay United and both are set to be involved this afternoon.
Midfielder Nathan Craig and forward Ashley Yeoman are a couple of youngsters who Phil Simkin hopes could have big impacts in his side's quest for survival this season.

In many homes, the "family room" is decorated with just one purpose: to withstand the impact of juice-spilling, game-playing, cookie-eating, crayon-wielding children.
The result is often a room that's long on durability but short on style.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
How can you create a stylish, sophisticated family room where grown-ups will want to spend time, while still keeping the space kid-friendly?
Three design experts — Brian Patrick Flynn of decordemon.com and Flynnside Out Productions; Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design; and Jon Call of Mr. Call Designs — offer some advice:
"Design technology and textiles are catching up with our family-friendly lifestyle," says Burnham. "There are so many outdoor fabrics, so many amazing vinyls" that are durable and easy to clean, but also look good. Burnham is a fan of Holly Hunt fabrics treated with Nano-Tex, which resists spills and stains without changing the fabric's texture.
Indoor/outdoor rugs are another great option now that they're being made with materials soft to the touch.
Flynn, who often uses Sunbrella indoor/outdoor fabrics, suggests upholstering with removable slipcovers for easy cleaning.
When choosing slipcovers, "washed linen is great since it's meant to look worn-in and super casual." He's also a fan of very dark denim: "Navy blue and charcoal are my go-to choices for denim slipcovers since they look more tailored than basic beiges or creams."
Call recommends skipping sofas that have three or four seat cushions and several more cushions across the back. "If you've got kids playing and jumping on those," he says, you'll constantly be finding the cushions out of place or on the floor.
Instead, he says, pick a sofa with one large seat cushion and no separate cushions along the back — "something tailored and clean looking" that won't need its cushions adjusted constantly.
Family rooms are built for entertaining, so think about flexible seating, Burnham says. "Maybe a side table that's also a stool, or a coffee table that's also a bench or an ottoman."
Kids can use an ottoman as a surface for games, while adult party guests can use it as seating.
Opt for tables with rounded corners for safety in rooms where kids often play, Flynn says, and choose tables with "metal or weathered wood tops. Metal tops can withstand heavy wear and tear, while weathered wood is intended to look worn, so as kids take their toll on the pieces, it simply adds to the intended look."
Rooms that do double-duty need lighting that does too, says Call.
"When you have adults over or if you're watching TV or it's a more intimate moment, you want a lamp by the sofa, at eye-level or below, to create intimate pools of light," he says.
But kids doing homework or art projects need the brighter light that overhead fixtures provide. Make sure your family room has both.

This off-season is pivotal to the future of the Trail Blazers but is their enough pieces to be had in free agency and the draft to turn this team around?
I am not sure that there are. Portland has some serious flaws at multiple positions making it difficult to think we could address enough of them to defeat the Thunder, Heat or Bulls on our way to a Championship.
This made me wonder what the trade values were for certain members of our team.
The player with the most value on our team is Lamarcus Aldridge but could we get enough value out of him to make it worth trading him? By all accounts, Aldridge is a top 25 player in the NBA. Fair value for that player is hard to quantify. Would Minnesota trade Love straight up for Aldridge, no! Would they trade him for Aldridge and a 1st round pick maybe but how much better does that make us. Love is tougher and a much better rebounder but is that worth a potential lottery pick? Probably not.
The trades I would make for Lamarcus Aldridge are as followed. They are listed in order of preference.
Sacramento Kings- D. Cousins and I. Thomas. Cousins has been on a terror this season, which would give the Kings serious pause. The Kings still hold the projected #6 pick in the draft so that have lots of roster flexibility. Thomas would fill a major whole for us at PG and Cousins while not as prolific of a scorer as LA he would only represent a small downgrade.
Detroit Pistons- G. Monroe, C. Villanueva and the projected #7 pick in the draft Monroe is a future all-star a great rebounder and a natural center. He would be a great building block for Portland at a hard to fill position. The Pistons have serious cap issues after over spending on Gordon and Villanueva meaning we would likely have to eat Villanueva's salary. With the #7 pick, we could get someone like Jared Sullinger, or Arnett Moultrie.
Houston Rockets- K. Lowry, and projected draft picks #15, #21 Lowry is a great Pg who can score pass and defend he would be a major upgrade for Portland there and he has a cap friendly contract. Portland could target John Henson or Tyler Zeller with pick #15 or maybe they could pair one of the picks with New Jersey's pick and move up to take Anthony Davis. The other pick could net the excellent shooting skills of Doron Lamb. Houston tried hard to get P. Gasol this year you would imagine they would jump at the chance to add Lamarcus to a deep team.
Utah Jazz- D. Favors and the projected #9 pick in the draft. The Jazz like Portland have two potential lottery picks this summer so giving up one of those picks and Favors for an established All-Star would make sense. This would also free the Jazz up to trade Millsap whose value is really high at the moment. Portland could use the #9 pick to do many things, we could potentially take Bradley Beal or Austin Rivers we could also get Meyers Leonard if Drummond does not last until New Jersey's pick.
Atlanta Hawks- J. Smith or Al Horford and projected pick #19 in the draft Atlanta has weighed trading both men and either would be a good replacement for Aldridge. Horford who plays a natural center position would give us a good post presence. Smith is an excellent defender and a great hustle player he would fit on style team. The #19 pick could be trade bait or we could use it to select someone like Dion Waiters or hometown prospect Terrence Jones.
What would you like to see Portland get for Lamarcus Aldridge if they traded him?

I like the Sacramento trade but I would add Matthews and demand their first round pick so,
Sacramento gets: Lamarcus Aldridge and Wesley Matthews.
Portland gets: Demarcus Cousins, I. Thomas and Sacramento's 2012 1st round pick.

Girl Scout monitors local water quality, earns Gold Award
KINGWOOD, Texas (Oct. 2009) – Girl Scout Senior Rachel Snavely spent nearly two months monitoring water quality of the upper San Jacinto River for World Water Monitoring Day (WWMD) to earn the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
"I learned about the importance of clean water in our local rivers and streams," says Rachel, a student at Kingwood Park High School. "The San Jacinto River is one of the major water sources of the greater Houston area, and we should all know what's in it."
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
"I have always been concerned about the environment," explains Rachel as to why she chose the project. "When I learned the San Jacinto River was placed on the endangered rivers list, I became very interested in water quality."
Rachel and a team of 20 volunteers tested the river for pH and dissolved oxygen levels, temperatures, turbidity and microinvertibrates inhabiting the area. Testing was done once a week for a 7-week period. Rachel then uploaded the data to WWMDs Web site. The organization is an international education and outreach program that builds public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources.
"We are quite proud that Rachel took on this project, involved fellow students and followed through with it," says Rachel's mother. "Girl Scouts has provided an excellent opportunity for Rachel to have leadership skills, work with others and be involved."
As an active member of Girl Scouts, Rachel serves as a council delegate for her service unit. At Kingwood Park High School, she participates in varsity softball and is president of the Service Learning Board. Next year she plans to attend college to study earth sciences and marine biology.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 17,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties. For more information call 1-800-392-4340 or visit www.gssjc.org.
GSSJC Pluralism Statement
Embracing and promoting pluralism is an integral part of every activity and plan of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, not disconnected or separate projects. Only individuals willing to accept and be educated about the basic tenet that Girl Scouting is for all girls may serve in volunteer leadership or staff positions.

Saturday marks the 150th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's election, and if you want to celebrate the life of everyone's favorite president, head to the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop.
They've been the source of all things Abe since 1938.
It's hard to escape our 16th President. He's very much alive, in movies, in animated form and his likeness even helps sell insurance.
If you want to dig a little deeper, we've got the place: the Abraham Lincoln Book Shop in River North. For more than 70 years, it's been a go-to destination for scholars, historians and casual history fans.
Longtime owner Daniel Weinberg is an expert in all things Lincoln. The shop has a spindle bed that came from the Lincoln's home in Springfield, eventually given to a housekeeper when the family left for Washington D.C.
"This is a beautiful fan, a memorial to Lincoln after the assassination," Weinberg said.
The fan, made in Cuba, was mostly made of aluminum, which at that time was considered a precious metal.
And they've got books, like one about a confederate POW camp that the author gave to the President.
There's a bronzed replica of Lincoln's right hand, crafted in Chicago in 1860 and a program you would have received if you were there the day Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. There is so much to see there, like a personal check believed to be for work done on the Lincoln's outhouse in Springfield.
"This is the last known reward poster for John Wilkes booth," Weinberg said.
It's a journey back in time Weinberg never tires of.
"You get to know the joys and the sorrows and the problems that they had in their lives. You get to know it so well that you replicate it, and it's almost like years added to your own. They're almost like family friends to me, and so I feel all of this age in between and I feel a little bit older than even my gray hair show," Weinberg said.
Although he was revered and admired like few others, Abraham Lincoln, Weinberg reminded us, wasn't perfect.
"Here is the only known instance of Lincoln misspelling his own name," Weinberg said. "His own signature. The O and the L got turned around. Lincoln crossed it out and did it again until he got it right."
Daniel loves to show that piece to kids to show them that even a giant like Lincoln made mistakes, just like everybody else.

Should we let homeopathy be?
The biggest dilemma for me is that placebo is proven to work better if the physician also believes he's giving real medecine. In this view, homeopathy is the perfect placebo. Even the people making it, through laborious dilutions, have GOT to believe in it, or their high school knowledge about chemistry would make it tempting to skip the whole process and make more profit selling sugar.
It's even got quantum mechanics watching its back, losing the more curious ones in complexe explanations about just how complexe liquid water is.
And of course, the idea is fun. Like cures like. 1/1000000th of a molecule of ethanol to cure a hangover.
Sure it's tempting to ridicule the whole industry for the billion dollar quackery it is. But one might actually find that it's saving a lot of healthcare money, and that it WORKS! And it works because we let it, because we don't ask for double-blind tests...
So what's your view on this? Is homeopathy a cheap way to heall the credulous? Or has it gone too far and is part of what makes the transition to the age of reason so darn slow?

peter lindsay 50+Oct 23 2013: If homeopathy is effective, why doesn't some big pharma company come up with a slightly different preperation method and patent it? Here's an interesting observation. I live in Newcastle Australia a city with about 600,000 inhabitants. If I search homeopath in the local phone directory I get 7 hits. If I search naturopath I get 89 hits. Apparently Australians don't do homeopathy?
Oct 23 2013: 1. It isn't possible to patent natural substances. The only patentable homeopathic medicines are proprietary
compounds, and they sell for about US $12 a package -- perhaps a 3 - 4 week supply. Most conventional
drugs cost a minimum of US $125 for a 4-week supply.
2. Most naturopaths are trained in and practice homeopathy.
Oct 28 2013: It just goes to show, Peter, like many of the skeptics who denounce homeopathy, don't know what they are talking about. The principles used in the preparation of ultra-diluted medicines are in the public domain and have been for 200+ years. Changing the methodology cannot produce a medicine that could be patented. The Boiron company has patented the name oscillococcinum (an influenza prophylactic and therapeutic), but they cannot patent the medicine which comes from a source in the public domain.
The majority of skeptics of homeopath are not speaking from personal experience, they are just regurgitating received "wisdom" or knowledge they have heard or read and then go on to repeat what they have heard or read. They tend to latch onto one element of homeopathy, usually the ultra-molecular dilution issue, and fail to understand the wider aspects that relate to the nature of disease and treatment.
I am not interested in changing the skeptic's minds which are steadfastly and irrevocably made up. This is because they now BELIEVE what they spout. A belief is not knowledge, it is not science, it is not evidence it is a belief that has strong emotional attachments and forms part of the self image of the skeptic; and he/she is fully entitled to his belief. He/she is not entitled to denigrate others who do not share their belief.
Oct 28 2013: I'm basing my comment on extensive knowledge of US patent law( mainly to do with production methods and design of bicycle frames), I don't really care whether homeopathy works, but I do know there are hundreds of US patents regarding the most insignificant details of mountainbike design and manufacture that prevent foreign companies selling bikes in the US. I don't see why you couldn't come up with a slightly different but unique method of preperation.

US safety regulators are still seeking what exactly caused a battery fire on a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 plane, according to an update on their investigation.
The National Transportation Safety Board on Thursday released an interim report packed with technical details about the lithium-ion battery fire on the JAL plane parked at Boston's Logan Airport.
But the report on the initial findings of the NTSB investigation offered no pinpointed cause of the fire that contributed to the global grounding of 787s almost two months ago.
"The NTSB's investigation into the probable cause of the 787 battery fire at BOS is continuing. The NTSB is also continuing to review the design, certification, and manufacturing processes for the 787 lithium-ion battery system," the independent government agency said in the report.
In its last briefing a month ago, the NTSB identified a short circuit on a single cell in the eight-cell JAL battery that had sparked overheating.
Another burned battery incident, on an All Nippon Airways 787 that was forced into an emergency landing in Japan, led regulators to ground all 50 787s in use in mid-January.
In a fresh sign of the complexity of the international investigation of the batteries, NTSB chief Deborah Hersman said that the agency would hold a forum and a hearing in April.
The forum in mid-April will focus on lithium-ion battery technology and transportation safety.
An investigative hearing later in April will cover the battery system's design and certification by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a certification process that Hersman has criticised.
"The information developed through the upcoming forum and the hearing will help the NTSB and the entire transportation community better understand the risks and benefits associated with lithium batteries, and illuminate how manufacturers and regulators evaluate the safety of new technology," Hersman said in a statement.
Both hearings will be webcast live and open to the public.

SPOKANE -- Hillsboro right fielder Brian Billigen hit a towering three-run home run in the 11th inning to help the Hops escape with a 4-1 win over the Spokane Indians.
The loss is the fourth straight for Spokane to Hillsboro. Spokane is now tied for first in the North Division second half standings.
John Niggli, making his first career start at Avista Stadium, threw seven innings while allowing three hits and one run. Niggli started the season in the Arizona Rookie League before being called up to Spokane on Aug. 8. He struck out four batters and lowered his ERA to 1.59 Tuesday night.
The Indians had a chance to win the game in both the ninth and 10th innings with runners in scoring position, but a double play and a flyout, respectively, ended the threat. The Indians had nine hits on the night.
Janluis Castro continued his offensive tear, as the infielder collected he first triple of the season. Just moments later, Barrett Serrato, who lost his seven-game hitting streak, knocked Castro in with a sac fly to left field.
The Indians host Tri-City Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

Customer Reviews
Nice boots but to narrow. I have about 8 pairs of good hunting boots. I've never had to order size 12EE before. No major problem, I had to find a Fed X truck to return them,postage paid. It's 65 miles to the closest Fed-x store.
I received the size 12 Danner's 2 days after I called customer service.
Service is always very good, but the boots are too narrow. I have had many pairs of Danner boots in past, and EE (width) has always fit. But this pair did not, very narrow.

The Rock Fort Temple, perched 83m high on a massive outcrop, lords over Trichy with stony arrogance. The ancient rock was first hewn by the Pallavas and Pandyas, who cut small cave temples on its south side, but it was the war-savvy Nayaks who later made strategic use of the naturally fortified position. There are over 400 stone-cut steps to climb to the top.

Brooklyn International High School at Water's Edge
For many of its students, Brooklyn International High School is the first school they attend in the United States. All of Brooklyn International students are non-native speakers of English who, at the time of enrollment, have been in the United States for fewer than four years. They represent nearly 40 nations and speak 30 languages; many students are refugees. Such cultural and language barriers pose a tremendous challenge to the school's teachers who strive to prepare each of their students for higher education.
In 2008, Brooklyn International was one of only three schools to receive a score of over 100 points on New York's annual public school progress reports; it received the highest score in the city. In 2010, it was one of 15 New York City schools declared by the New York region's Anti-Defamation League to be "No Place for Hate," an initiative to celebrate diversity and combat bigotry. It was one of five schools to receive a gold star for "exceptional commitment" to the program.
Brooklyn International fosters a collaborative environment; teachers and students are organized into interdisciplinary teams. Classes travel together throughout the day, and students remain with the same teachers for two years. This arrangement maintains continuity and allows students and teachers to become comfortable with each other. Perhaps even more important, teachers can understand the academic needs and abilities of their students more fully.
"We work together on everything," Erin Collins says of the school's teachers. Collins, who has taught history at Brooklyn International for nearly four years, participates on a professional development committee that meets weekly with the principal and assistant principal. The committee decides what kinds of professional development will work best for the school. The committee recently had teachers meet to discuss strategies to help struggling students. For instance, Collins says that teachers discussed one student who tends to take notes in class but only to make it look like she's paying attention. Minutes later she will erase her notes, Collins says, as part of an avoidance technique. Teachers were able to alert one another about the student's problem so they could help her. With this kind of professional development, "we have an opportunity to talk about kids and how they learn," Collins says. As a result, the knowledge that teachers gain about an individual student doesn't get lost when the student moves up to the next grade.
The school's students are not separated or grouped based on knowledge, demonstrated ability or background; and they are expected to help one another to account for individual weaknesses. School employees believe Brooklyn International's interdisciplinary, heterogeneous approach is a large part of its success in helping students develop academically and socially. In addition to project-based instruction that culminates in oral and written presentations, students get practical experience in other ways. For example, each student must complete a career internship to graduate. Also, each Brooklyn International student is expected to pursue postsecondary education. In recent years, 72 seniors have been awarded more than $2 million in scholarships.
At Brooklyn International, teachers receive the tools and professional development they need to succeed. Teachers meet weekly to discuss individual students, analyze data and share best practices to inform instruction. In addition, teachers visit one another's classrooms to learn different strategies and offer feedback. Through these interactions, teachers reflect on their practices, provide meaningful feedback and make appropriate adjustments in their own classrooms.

President Obama's stimulus package addresses very diverse segments of the economy, including health care, education, research, and infrastructure. However, all of these components have one thing in common: the reliance on information technology as the engine powering these stimulus initiatives.
A key initiative in the stimulus plan is addressing the issue of establishing electronic health records to reduce health care costs and improve the care itself by making all medical information for a patient available to anyone who treats her. The federal government has advocated for such a system for a decade, but little visible progress has been made.
So what about the Obama plan would change the equation? It's designed to tackle one of the two biggest barriers: the financial penalty that has existed so far for adoption. But it does little to solve the technology issues that will hinder large-scale deployment.
Problem No. 1: Electronic health records reduce profits
Up until now, the benefits of electronic medical records that have occurred accrue to just about everybody -- patients, employers, state and federal governments, and medical insurers -- but the actual health care providers. Doctors get the least benefits, especially in small practice groups (those with fewer than five physicians) that make up most medical practices.
But even those who might benefit from electronic health records don't, says Homer Chin, associate medical director for clinical information systems at Kaiser Permanente Northwest. Why? Because there is little incentive to share information, the core of an electronic health record (EHR; also called an EMR for "electronic medical record"). For example, hospitals make money by doing tests. But once EHRs are up and running, a doctor ordering a test electronically might immediately receive an alert saying the test was unnecessary because the patient had the same test or procedure at another location. "There is not much revenue and profitability in putting in an EHR. There is little financial incentive," Chin says.
An ironic consequence of EHRs is that, by helping raise the quality of health care, they penalize doctors and other medical providers for success, says Wes Rischel, a vice president at Gartner. The bottom line: Doctors will see fewer patients.
Beyond the income factor, the high cost of EHR systems today -- not only the systems, but the setup and training -- also dissuades adoption by doctors, especially those in small groups. Physicians have been unwilling to invest anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000 in an EHR system where the economic benefits tend to go to someone else. Today's EHR systems are not as easy to use as they could be, so there is a large learning curve required, Chin says: "There is something intuitive about paper chart and prescription pad."
Recognizing these factors, the stimulus package tackles these financial challenges head on by offering money to health care providers. Hospitals submitting via EHR systems to Medicare and Medicaid will receive up to $6 million a year in additional payments for sending data electronically. This incentive will remove much of the adoption inertia seen so far, says Richard Archer, a principal in the health care IT advisory practice a KPMG.
And every medical practice that uses an EHR system to submit an invoice to the government Medicare and Medicaid insurance systems will be reimbursed at a higher rate than those who submit a non-electronic invoice: up to about $44,000 extra per year. To a physician in a small practice, this incentive is large enough to get doctors' buy-in, says Michael Lake, principal at Circle Square a health care consultancy. "It is a lot money, and we will see physicians adopt it," he adds.

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — The Salvation Army in El Paso is very busy during the summer months.
The organization sees a steady stream of children stay there while school is out. In fact, about thirty to forty kids call the Salvation Army their home during the summer months.
We spoke with the Salvation Army Coordinator, Jonathan Robles, who says the organization plans activities and themes each week so that the kids will keep learning while their out of school. They even take the kids on weekly field trips.
The Salvation Army says donations from the public are much appreciated to make educational activities like this available to the children.

This time it's a soccer player named Lisa De Vanna on the women's national soccer team, known as the Matildas. Apparently Lisa had a public Facebook page where fans could follow her career. Somehow she confused it with her personal page when she posted a number of lewd photos of her and her friends. Yes, they were all clothed in the pictures, but apparently performing lewd acts with an inflatable penis, simulating sex acts. This was all probably good fun among friends until a 13-year-old fan came across the pictures and then got her mother involved.
After viewing these images (likely repeatedly) mother and daughter became "distraught" and contacted the team, and-not surprisingly–De Vanna was asked to take down the pictures and then set her Facebook page to private, preventing and further incidents like this.
And no, we haven't been able to find any copies of the pictures online, but the Herald Sun says the images are "too explicit for public viewing."

Deloitte Boosts its Inclusion Leadership with Four New Appointments
Organization expands definition of inclusion to incorporate gender, diversity, generations, flexibility and well-being.
NEW YORK, October 15, 2012 — As a part of Deloitte's ongoing mission to foster an environment where leaders thrive, four executives have been appointed to the organization's new Inclusion leadership team. Joining the ranks are Julia Cloud, Deloitte Tax LLP, as managing partner of Deloitte's Women's Initiative (WIN), Kelvin Womack, Deloitte Consulting, as managing principal for Diversity, Paul Silverglate, Deloitte & Touche LLP, as managing partner for Work-Life and Christie Smith, Deloitte Consulting LLP, as managing principal for the Deloitte University Leadership Center for Inclusion.

The IVF Process—Again
What to expect from your second (or more) attempt at in-vitro fertilization
If At First You Don't Succeed
Doctor's appointments, tests, treatments, medications: all these things related to IVF can not only interfere with your career, your life, and your relationships, but they can also take them over. Many feel overwhelmed, saddened by failure, angry at not conceiving, and even depressed and guilty. According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), this is normal. In contrast, the ASRM says that it may be these very emotions that motivate a couple to keep trying.
"I wanted a baby so badly that I had to snap myself out of what seemed to be a never-ending cycle of anger and depression," says Becky Forris, a medical transcriptionist from Oklahoma City. "It was the anger at myself and the depression at not having a baby that made me think, 'This is not what I want; I want a baby.' So, I—we—kept trying."
Level of Difficulty
In many things, practice makes perfect. Unfortunately, this concept is not always true with the procedure of IVF. While the procedure's terminology and testing may be more familiar the second time around, trying to conceive may not be easier. In all actuality, for some, it is more difficult.
"From a patient's perspective, a second attempt is easier because of familiarity," says Dr. Gloria Richard-Davis, director of the reproductive endocrinology program at the Ochsner Clinic Foundation in New Orleans. "Knowing what to expect because they have already gone through the injectables, tests, procedures, etc., makes the process a little less stressful and may keep the couple from being as nervous. However, knowing what may or may not happen can often add an entirely new stress."
It's About the Benjamins
The cost of a single cycle can be significant. When the first try fails, costs can accumulate quickly. According to Dr. C. Maud Daherty, co-author of The Fertility Handbook, setting a spending limit prior to a second try may be wise. "Couples must know going into IVF that there will be some costly procedures," says Dr. Daherty. "Setting a financial limit is wise. By almost anyone's standards, infertility treatment is expensive. Countless couples have gone into debt to try 'just one more time.' [We] advise against this, saying those who reach this point may be suffering from a compulsion much like any other activity they feel 'driven' to accomplish. It helps to have a plan in place, one based on logic rather than unsettled emotions."
Your Feelings
Feelings of guilt, anger, or disappointment from a failed first attempt can frequently offer a new set of stressors to a couple trying to conceive. "IVF the second time may be harder because it didn't work the first time," says Dr. Richard-Davis. "Different sets of stressors are associated with going through repeated attempts. One of the ways to help cope with this or lessen the harsh emotional involvement is to address with the doctor what happened the first time and whether or not anything can be done in terms of change of protocol to improve outcome for the second attempt."
Taking the Time
A substantial time commitment is required by both partners to complete an entire course of IVF therapy. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, additional time will be needed in order to make a second attempt. "It will be necessary for couples to adjust their schedules to undergo additional testing and therapies associated with a second attempt at IVF," says Dr. Richard-Davis. "This type of situation often creates or exacerbates marital conflict and may require a bit of extra effort on both parts. Find time to talk about it and decide if it's conflict within your relationship or if it's created by your infertility experience. It is normal for marriages to have problems during this time."

There is kooky Christmas Eve and hapless hubby Brian and puppets: sloppy Nicky, closeted Rod, lost soul Princeton, lovelorn Kate, porn-happy Trekkie Monster, and bimbo-licious Lucy The Slut! They swear like sailors, engage in kinky puppet coitus, and even impart valuable and/or absurd life lessons. To call it a puppet show does it a disservice. There's no handy way to describe Avenue Q except as the furriest, and one of the funniest, shows you're likely ever to see.

quote:I'm not trying to be negative but I want you to know a few things that I was told when buying a defense gun. First, ballistically speaking there is very little difference in most of the popular self defense rounds. You can see different numbers but as far as "knock down power" none of them have any. Some may have more velocity or weight but these rounds usually take up more space. Revolvers are nice but you limit yourself to 5-7 rounds before having to reload. This is fine if there is 1 person but what happens if there is 3? Make sure you buy a reliable gun with a decent trigger. Makes for better/faster follow up shots. The XD is a great gun but the small grip safety does pose a problem in some hand to hand situations. It must be pressed for the gun to fire. Glock and the M&P line are both great fighting tools. Just my .02
quote: ^^^^ Lotsa good info here. If I were the OP, and was seeking input from a bunch of folks that I have never met, I'd the respondent dant to list how many thousand rounds he has personally fired through whatever weapon he is recommending. There will no doubt be some, but not too many, who will be able to honestly report having fired 10-20 thousand rounds through their "recommended weapon." I suspect that there are even one or two "gurus" who are basing their recommendations on what they have read in some gun rag, or overheard at the gun counter in some local store. Gun stores, gun magazines and internet forums are not always the best places to get reliable info on self-defense weapons. I would suggest two "better" sources. 1. Find a "firerms training academy" that hosts a forum, or send an email inquiry to one of these schools. They teach thousands of students every year, and thus see every imaginable make/configuration/caliber or handgun. In a typical two day-three day handgun class, students will fire anywhere between 800 and 1400 rounds. The instructors at these schools know from experience which guns are reliable. 2. Do some internet research and find out what makes and models of sidearms are issued//approved by various state, federal and large local law enforcement agencies. These agencies, in most cases, did a lot of homework before approving the handguns their officers carry. This homework often includes testing similar to that which our military performs during its weapons evaluations. If you can determine that a sizable percentage (say, greater than 20%) of LEO's nationwide carry a certain make//model handgun, you can be fairly comfortable in believing it has already been proven to be reliable. Just my $.02, to be added to LouisianaChessie's $.02 above.

Customers of The Whisky Shop constantly search for the different and the special, whether it be a personal treat or a gift for someone else. At The Whisky Shop we stock a vast range of different whiskies covering all the mainstream brands as well as the independent bottlings. We like to think that we go the extra mile for our customers and our relative size allows us to reach beyond the traditional supply chain and produce our own exclusive offerings.
The Glenkeir Treasures concept starts with a truly unique range of single malt whiskies that we obtain in wood directly from the distiller. The single malts are decanted into individual barrels within our shops from where they are hand bottled as and when the purchaser chooses them. They are bottled at 40% strength, making them easy drinking and accessible. Bottle sizes range from a small 10cl 'Dram to Share' to our standard half litre bottle.
Each whisky is selected for its individual quality and attractiveness. We conduct an extensive search and only pick the best of the best. The whisky is then subjected to the minimum processing so as to retain its original characteristics. No large batch chill filtering is employed.
The Glenkeir Treasures concept has since been extended to encompass individual single malt whiskies bottled at cask strength – Glenkeir Treasures Cask Strength Selection – and very special old whiskies, also bottled at cask strength – Glenkeir Treasures Gold Selection.
Whether dispensed from the barrel in one of our stores or bottled by us at source, every whisky that bears the Glenkeir Treasures label is unique, different and special. We guarantee its quality and we confidently expect that it will bring great pleasure to all who enjoy it.

Does the scientific establishment unwittingly suffer from paradigm bias? Does it assume incorrect axioms of existence?
In the light of Thomas Kuhn's "Paradigm Shift" theory, and inspired by the TED controversy of removing Rupert Sheldrake's talk, let us examine the current scientific establishment.
The scientific process is capable of historical meta-analysis to make sense of its own patterns and processes. As Kuhn points out, every generation of scientists tend to assume premises that are fundamentally false but define the paradigm in which they work, and all assumptions flow from those premises.
Two major examples to illustrate are the geocentric/religious paradigm overthrown by Copernicus, and the Newtonian absolute space-time paradigm overthrown by Einstein. Of course, we must look to the actual psyche's of the establishment itself in those contexts. Was Copernicus not considered a heretic? Did not pre-Einsteinian physicists literally just ASSUME absolute spacetime as an axiom when contemplating physics? They are only easily shown to be incorrect in 20/20 hindsight, although up to that point, all the textbooks of school and general consensus among very smart 'experts' propagated those fallacious foundations.
Scientists that are overly specialized, careerist, non-philosophical, and lacking in paradigm shattering intuition/creativity might be the 'gatekeepers' of today, propagating fallacious assumptions themselves, and dismissing all non-establishment positions as heretical.
Has science itself transcended all biases? Has it overcome all incorrect assumptions? Was Newtonian absolute spacetime the final barrier? If not, then we MUST give 'heretics' a shot, should we not? What if they are a paradigm shifter?
As a thought experiment- if we are to contemplate the hypothetical that there are indeed wrong assumptions, what might they be?
Could it be that matter emerges from mind, and not the other way around?
Can Cartesian dualism be solved?
Could it be that the paradigm of Empiricism is merely a subset of the superior Rationalism?
Was Leibniz right?

Apr 8 2013: The concern about how a "paradigm shift" could apply to science seems an interestingly creative and natural response from certain aging and fading societal traditional structures and instituations of civic influence.
The roots of wisdom and power was largely self ordained in the form of religion including some breakaway academic ideas of philosophy to steer and affect public opinion and shape cultural development in the darker ages of our earlier natural history. The scientific means of inquiry was unrecognized as anything, but an occasionally nice and celebrated means of helping us cope with a hostile physical world. However, within the modern era this relatively simple approach to better understand and harness our physical environment is now spearheading and reshaping world views that were once exclusively the province of the old establish traditional power dreams and schemes of revered dictitorial bluebloods and waterwalkers.
Just think about it, not too many decades ago the organic world was solely described as biological organisms until a scientific experimenter proclaimed, "I thinks my girlfriend is going to like these nylon stockings!"
The reason the scientific method or inquiry and testing has been so rearranging in how we (the curious) see things has to do with how it has altered and enlightened our lives. The results of the relatively simple concept behind the scientific method of exploration has been to redirect human cultural development from a passive to a more active state. Implied in this effort to better understand is the ability to discover what is true, or relateable. A remarkably, noteworthy consequence of scientific findings.
As established and seasoned institutions and traditions sense or experience fading influence should we not expect these kinds of reactions regarding how science legitmently influences or even games the system? Science deserves overview simply because iit can be hyjacked by business enterprises.

Police have released a sketch of a suspect who was involved in a robbery at the Erlanger Frisch's restaurant on Tuesday morning.
Erlanger police say the manager answered the delivery bell at the back door and the suspect showed a gun, forcing his way in. The suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash and some personal items from the manager and one other employee, including the manager's cell phone.
The victims did not see the suspect leave, so the Erlanger K-9 and Special Response Team were called to search the restaurant and surrounding areas. The manager's cell phone 'pinged' nearby, but it appears it was discarded by the suspect. SRT and K-9 were unable to locate the suspect.
The suspect is described as a black male, possibly Somalian, heavy set with a round face and wearing a red shirt, black tied, dark jacket and white scarf.
Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers at 513-352-3040 or Erlanger Police at 859-727-2424.

|Powell, Walter
|Postcards of the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Hawarden Park, Flintshire
|Black and white photocopies of postcards of the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to North Wales to inspect the munitions factory at Queensferry, May 1917, to meet and to present some medals to wounded Tommies and officers. Their Daimler motor car can be seen in each postcard, as well as a throng of civilians lining the drive. In this collection is a transcription of Walter Powell's memories of the day he was a footman in the convoy of this visit, as well as photos of him in his 'poshed-up' uniform for the occasion.
Part of a collection relating to Walter H. Powell, Llandrindod Wells, (private / driver M2-267205 Mechanised Transport Army Service Corps). Born 1898, Walter tried to join up under-age on a number of occasions, finally succeeding in 1916. He served many months - (more than 2 years?) - in different army units in Britain, before going over to France. He served as a despatch rider for an anti-aircraft battery in 1918-1919. Walter was gassed suffering the effects all his life. He was a founder member of Toc-H in Llandrindod, and a keen footballer - he died in 1994 aged 96. However Walter's older brothers (Cliff and Percy Powell) and his uncle (Humphrey Powell) died of wounds sustained during the war.

The other night (5/3/10) I went to a meeting of Maui Upcountry Sustainability group and got caught up in discussion of how such a volunteer group can be more effective and efficient. This is an issue for many groups – maker/hacker spaces being another type. People come to a meeting, talk about ideas, get excited, perhaps volunteer to do something but after the meeting the effort dies. Why?
- One reason may be people over commit them selves in the excitement, and later realize they cant follow through – or just plain forget in their overcommitted minds.
- Another, perhaps related reason, is communication failures. Volunteer groups often rely on independent communications like phone calls and emails. The messages go out 1:1 (phone) or within a small private distribution group (email). Phone calls may go to message machine and get lost. Emails might get lost in spam or perhaps people Reply instead of Reply-All and so the discussion drops back to 1:1.
Some solutions were mentioned on the motivational side – keeping people interested/excited. Accountability and recognition were mentioned. Accountability means saying "Jon volunteered to do X" in some public venue, so Jon and others see he committed to do something. Perhaps the public statement is enough pressure to get Jon to follow through. Recognition is praising people for doing their part – completing that task they volunteered to do.
I noted the communications issue and stated there are some tech solutions… and promptly got volunteered to write those up – which is the origin of this post. I am not an expert in this, and have only a few months of working with group (i.e. CrashSpace) communications in early 21st century. The rest of this post will hopefully summarize my observations and perhaps provide some suggestions.
There are a plethora of ways the Internet provides for groups to communicate. Social Media sites like Facebook. Blog sites like WordPress. Twitter. Hosted web sites, Google Groups, etc. Some groups avail themselves of all of these. For example Crashspace has at least a blog, a Google Group mail list, a Google events calandar, a Wiki, a Twitter feed and a Flicker photo pool. These serve different needs and sometimes can merge (wiki embedding of google calendars, etc), but sometimes there may be too many ways to share and the messages gets lost.
Lets look at a couple of these in a bit more depth, and with reflection on how the might be used for Maui Makers, and/or volunteer groups like Upcountry Sustainability. Many web hosting services (like HostMonster that serves MauiMakers.com) offer a wide range of services for a very small monthly fee. Here I am currently only using the blog, but email lists, forums, wiki, etc are available – and in time I hope to utilize them.
Basic Web Site: The simplest technique is to create a basic web site. Tools are common, fairly easy to use, and results can be up and running quickly. Themes and design can be tweaked up to look very good. The down side is that basic web sites are not that dynamic. Adding and changing pages often requires one person (web master) to do the editing. This can be the kiss of death for a volunteer group. The web master gets overloaded and other members get frustrated when their changes (or ones they are waiting to read) get postponed. Or worse, the web master goes away, and no one can update the web site.
Wiki: a wiki is a web site that supports easy creation and editing of interlinked pages using online tools, either in a simple markup language or with a WYSIWYG editor. The ease of page creation, and cross linking makes a wiki very attractive for community projects. Members can quickly add new pages that link into the existing structure. There is no requirement that the changes go through a web master, but it is highly desirable to 'garden' the wiki occasionally. Members often create pages without knowing about similar pages already existing elsewhere (or perhaps not wanting to edit someone else's page). Gardening the wiki means going back and pruning or at least cross linking similar pages. The software also usually provides a history mechanism, so you can check the changes made, revert to older pages, etc. As with other collaborative methods, wiki's are subject to spam and malicious editing. Many wiki require users to be registered to gain editing privileges. That doesnt stop spam/hacking but may reduce it.
Blog : (contraction of web log) online journal website where the author(s) post commentary, ramblings, etc. The postings are generally shown chronologically and might be tagged with keywords to quickly find related entries. They can contain links, pictures, etc. depending on the supporting software and author's desires. People who read the blog entries are often able to comment on them, sharing their views on the topic with more links, etc. Blogs are most useful for announcements & summaries of events, and of course musings on topics. Blog entries are generally restricted to a select group or one person, but comments on blog posts are allowed. General readers (registered or perhaps not) can add their views on the particular topic. Using a captcha or other security on comments is important – blogs are common targets for spam and link-bots (posting supportive comment in hopes of getting approval, which shows their web address in post – getting them link-backs to enhance their site's search engine spot).
Email lists – provide a way for community to post messages on a variety of topics and often the display software allows them to be displayed as 'threads'. Email lists utilize conventional email for distribution. The author sends a message to the mail list address, and software there re-distributes it to all subscribers. Mail lists often have an archive web site that makes past postings available for search and browse. The GNU MailMan software is a classic mail list package. Other packages offer advanced features such as form based inputs, RSVP receipts, etc.
Forums are a web based mail list, where authors go to the site, find or create a topic of interest and post missives. Some forum software (like Google Groups and Yahoo Groups) provides for users to send and receive postings via email along with their web interface. The main advantage of such forum software over mail lists is the web interface. Its even easier with Google/Yahoo Groups as someone else is doing the hosting, configuration, etc.
Forums and and mail lists can restrict the mail creation to administrators, registered users, or anyone. Admin-only mail lists are useful for announcements (meeting date/times, etc), which makes them more like a Blog. Wide open lists are prone to spam attacks, but some mail/forum software allows moderators to check mail before it goes out to the entire list. Such moderated and registered user mail lists are VERY helpful in creating a community.
My experience is the web site works well as a hub for a community but needs a wiki component allowing for group documentation. The blog can be a good way for one way communication to members. The mail list/forum is probably the best way to build up community participation. The key is to allow easy member contributions. Wiki and mail lists work best for this, but need to be open to at least registered members.
Following my own advice, I have created a google group for MauiMakers: http://groups.google.com/group/mauimakers
