For some reason I thought that Ghost the band was recording a song with Neko Case. Now that would be interesting
Yeah the title of the article ended up really vague and meaningless I guess. I wanted it to read "Ghosts, Mellencamp and Neko Case" but that's too long.
And this is Neko Case recording a song w/ lyrics by John Mellencamp based on a story developed by Stephen King which is pretty bizarre in its own right.

TABLEHOPPING: Beer at Mikkeller Bar, wine at St. Vincent, coffee at Cafe St. Jorge -- how's that for a liquid diet plan. Plus: elegant knishes? They're real.
This is definitely the year of beer in the Bay Area, and the latest addition to the suds scene is Mikkeller Bar (34 Mason, SF. www.mikkellerbar.com). Who would have thought the famous Copenhagen beer bar would open a location deep in the Tenderloin? It's a partnership between Mikkel Borg Bjergsø of Mikkeller and Chuck Stilphen of The Trappist and Trappist Provisions, and there's even a hoppy Mikkeller Tenderloin Pilsner on the extensive list, plus three other special Tenderloin-inspired brews. Not to mention 40 taps of rare, international, delicious beers in all — plus two cask handles — and a staff of certified cicerones to school you on the suds. You can also tuck into a variety of dishes, from soft pretzel rolls and pastrami sandwiches to a smoked "char siu" tofu bahn mi and housemade sausage platters. Pull up to one of the 30 seats at the horseshoe bar, or take over one of the blond wood tables with your brew crew.
Our local coffee scene continues to find plenty of ways to keep us perky (ditto this chilly weather and most SF ladies' tatas right now, but that's another story): now open in Bernal is Cafe St. Jorge (3438 Mission, SF. www.cafesanjorge.com), a Portuguese-inspired café from Andrea de Francisco. She's paying homage to her Portuguese roots with housemade treats like bolo de arroz, especie cookies, and pasteis de nata, plus keepin' it very Ess Eff with some vegan baked goods, sandwiches, and more. Say bom dia with Stumptown Coffee, along with fresh-pressed juices and housemade almond milk.
Strawberries and whipped cream: a winning combo. Ditto cannabis butter and brownies. Along similar lines, coffee and bikes always make for a symbiotic pairing. Which is why it makes absolutely perfect sense that the Public Bikes store (123 South Park, SF.) in South Park has installed a coffee stand on its front porch. Service is provided from Saint Frank Coffee. And to inspire you to pedal (or walk) over, Public is offering all customers a free coffee drink through July 20th. Just mention "Honduras" -- no, not Panama, or Colombia, just Honduras.
It can be expensive to learn about wine, but not at St. Vincent (1270 Valencia, SF. www.stvincentsf.com) on Saturdays. This Mission restaurant hosts "shop hours" when you can swing by from 12pm–3pm for curated tastings. On Saturday July 20, taste "five aged wines you can afford" for $25, like a Livon Collio merlot "Tiaremate" from 1999 — and in case you love it, it's $30 for the bottle. And Saturday July 27 is Summer Sour Saturday, with a tasting of four wheat beers for $12, including the Sumac Summer Ale, a collaboration with Craftsman Brewing Company.
You may think you know what a good knish is, but just to be sure, you really need to come by Michelle Polzine's brand-new-yet-caught-in-a-time-warp café in Hayes Valley, 20th Century Cafe (198 Gough, SF. www.20thcenturycafe.com). These are no starchy, sticky gut bombs packed with lumpy potato. Oh hell no. These elegant little beauties come with a crackling, flaky exterior that's almost phyllo-like, and within, a smooth and savory potato-and-onion filling, spiked with caraway, coriander, and a little zhoosh of vermouth. If you manage to nab one hot out of oven, you may cry. Sooth yourself further (or perhaps cry more) over her other treats, like raspberry plum coffee cake, and peach leaf ice cream. Open 10am–6pm daily, closed Mondays.

As I get older (and granted, I'm far from elderly), I surprise myself by how I seem to get more radical, but not blindly so. My misgivings toward capitalism in general run deeper and deeper. Yet, I also surprise myself in the way that my perhaps peculiar brand of Leftism apparently has some bourgeois limits.
For one, I am not so foolish as to identify capitalism with democracy, although of course they both share roots in liberalism. Moreover, I also make the perhaps bold distinction between democracy and methodology — something which most Americans don't like to try.
The way I see it, for all of liberal democracy's many strengths, it has become a breeding ground for discord. I am critical of the system for the ways it manufactures consent, inspires egotism, partisanship, and mediocrity among public servants and the political class, and inevitably strips agency from the citizenry. There has to be a better way of being democratic, of avoiding the short-sighted self-destructive cycles of liberalism without resorting to the sophistries of traditional Marxism.
For another, in light of the uprising in Kyrgyzstan and subsequent land seizures by impoverished citizens of that nation, I've had to seriously confront myself about my feelings toward private property. After all, it's easy to say I'm a Leftist, but Marx et al were prophetically correct that atomistic individualistic private property is at the core of capitalism, so am I willing to put my money where my mouth is? The answer is: not yet.
There are two reasons for my equivocal answer. On the one hand, there were the Jewish and Protestant values I grew up with of hard personal labor, not to mention the hard lessons of my family's struggles with money taught me about the need for thriftiness. However, at a more profound level is the sense of ownership itself, of possessing if nothing else one's inner world and ultimate destiny. Private property, then, is ultimately about the immortal soul.
On the other hand, for precisely that reason and perhaps quite paradoxically, I believe that private property is anathema for human beings. If all the prophets, reformers, and revolutionaries of history did not realize that in the least their salvation lied in relinquishing their own selves, then humanity would have remained lion food on the savanna eons ago. Private property, then, is an educational tool: it must cultivate within us a disciplined sense of self that ultimately becomes the theater of relinquishment and sacrifice, a process that must happen if the self is to finally become what it was meant to be all along — a mirror or manifestation of the divine.
That in the end we actually own nothing, not even our own soul, is the penultimate ironic lesson of private property. The question is: how the heck do we make a political, economic, and social system around that principle? I think we Baha'is are trying to do precisely that, but here's where I run into another difficulty, namely, the danger of reading my own politics and theories into my religion.
It's something we're all in danger of, and I've noticed it especially when I've discussed with Baha'is from different parts of the world. Sometimes religious believers directly reflect the societies whence they come. For example, because we Baha'is believe that our community's Administrative Order shall eventually become the model for the new world order, if not the global government itself, we are confronted with the question of whether we believe in the separation of church and state or theocracy. Not surprisingly, American Baha'is argue the former, Persians the latter.
Sometimes believers reflect what they feel their society lacks. I'm a prime example of this as an American Baha'i: my society has very little in the way of a social safety net, not to mention an internationalist sensibility, hence why I tend to envision the Baha'i Faith as a kind of "divine communism". Persian Baha'is, on the other hand, are horrified by the idea, precisely because of the collectivist nature of their society and its struggles with ethnic and religious minorities. For them, the Baha'i Faith is instead a kind of "divine capitalism".
Yet, like any religion, the Baha'i Faith is neither of these ideologies, nor any other such pat labels. We must be careful not to make our religion into nothing more than mirrors of ourselves. That doesn't mean the debate has to be closed — to the contrary, I'm going to badger my fellow Baha'is about the virtues of a "divine communism". If I end being called the "Red Baha'i", then I say, "Great!"
But it does mean we need to apply the ultimate lesson of private property to that most prized of personal possessions, our opinions. We need to detach and offer them to the altar of the future, because in the end, God and history, in the form of the collective decisions of Baha'is and non-Baha'is in response to the vicissitudes of on-going life, are going to decide what the Baha'i Faith really is.

My name: Genevieve Shaw Brown. I also answer to Genny and Gen.
How I earn my keep: I work at Travelocity.
Greatest travel lesson learned: I travel for my job, but I've learned work is work, vacation is vacation, and it's best not to try and do both on one trip.
Fondest travel memory: There are so many... but a recent experience was being totally jet-lagged and waking up pre-dawn in Koh Samui, Thailand, and watching the sun rise with my husband on the beach. We talked about what all our friends and family were doing at that very same moment as the sun set back home in New York.
First thing I do in a new place: Peruse the local restaurants and map out my dining strategy for the duration of my trip. Dining strategy = eating at as many restaurants as humanly possible.
First thing I do when I get home: Put a push pin on the destination I just returned from on the map of the world that hangs on the wall above my couch.
Travel ambition: To cover that map completely in push pins.
My most beloved place in the whole world: Cockle Cove Beach in Chatham, Massachusetts.

Annan put an end to their grim start to the season with a 2-0 win over Berwick.
In a poor match lacking rhythm and intensity, the visitors carried the greater threat in the first half. Darren Lavery and Dean Hoskins missed with shots for the Borderers, and Annan goalkeeper Alex Mitchell saved further efforts from Lavery and David Gold.
The match turned with two quick strikes by the Black and Golds midway through the second period. New recruit Stuart McColm converted from close range after some fine...

I'm not having any problems that this filter is supposed to fix. But a program I need to download has a lot of problems that the support team's FAQ says AC3 filter will solve. I decided to not risk the program having some kind of issue every five seconds and install this filter first.
I installed AC3 filter and suddenly my modem was screwy and blinking red lights. I tried turning it off and giving it a rest then turning it back on but that didn't help. So I uninstalled AC3, restarted the computer and my modem was good as new.
I gave this product a 2 because of this, but it seems to work fine for others.

Great codec. had my problems with getting rid of the mp3 xp standard solution, because i thought ac3filter control of mp3 was blocked by the system standard filter.
i thought that, because in a two audio stream file the second is a mp3 stream with the first being ac3. and the gain control does not work on the second stream. which i guess can be considered as a (minor) bug.
while other controls like the channel pref or the bit setting work, which i much later found out.
testing with a single channel mp3 videofile, i found that gain control works on that. im curious if the gain ctrl doesnt work on a two mp3 stream videofile on the second stream.

The thing about low sound is how they master DVDs since, if you can't listen to the conversations, etc, then you turn up the volume, and explosions, or other stuff blows you away from the speakers. It gives you the cinema sensation.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- The children at Saint Marys Hospital got a real treat Tuesday, as one of Sesame Street's best known residents stopped by to say hello-- Elmo.
More than a dozen pediatric patients were greeted by their fuzzy friend at a special 30-minute visit from the famous character on Tuesday.
The children laughed and danced with the huggable-monster in a jam-session.
For parents, it was a chance to step away from the hospital room and enjoy being a kid again along with their children.
"He's been through a lot the past few days and so, he's a little overwhelmed right now. But he's excited I can tell. It's a little bit of a break from our routine that we've been doing so it's really nice," Nik Broekemeir, a parent of a child at Saint Marys said of Elmos' visit Tuesday.
Elmo is in Rochester for his "Elmo Makes Music" performances at the Mayo Civic Center in October.

Back at The Dunk Friday, Nov. 20 vs. Springfield Falcons

The P-Bruins took a 1-0 lead at the 13:26 mark of the opening period, while shorthanded. Dany Sabourin played the puck out of the P-Bruins crease up ahead to Jeff Penner. He found LoVecchio cutting down the left wing. LoVecchio took a shot from the top of the left face off circle and scored his fifth goal of the season. The Crunch tied the game at one at the 15:01 mark, while on the power play. Tom Sestito tallied his fifth goal of the season with Jared Aulin and Nick Holden recording the assists. The game went into the first intermission tied at one.
After a scoreless second period, third period and overtime the game went into a shootout. Brent Regner scored first for the Crunch, but Providence tied it on a goal from Kwiet. The P-Bruins went ahead in the shootout after Knackstedt scored and when Sestito missed the net for the Crunch, the P-Bruins went on to the 2-1 shootout victory.
Sabourin stopped 22 of 23 shots for the P-Bruins, while Kevin Lalande made 31 saves for the Crunch. The P-Bruins were 0-for-4 on the power play and 6-for-7 on the penalty kill.
The P-Bruins continue their three game road trip Saturday at the Tsongas Arena against the Lowell Devils at 7:00 p.m. The P-Bruins wrap up the weekend at the DCU Center versus the Worcester Sharks at 3:05 p.m. Information on P-Bruins tickets for the 2009-10 season can be obtained by calling the team ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or by logging onto the team website at http://www.providencebruins.com/.

Another Block E tenant has closed-up shop in downtown Minneapolis. The AMC Theater showed its final movie Sunday night.
Only four businesses remain at the failed Block E complex: Kieran's Irish Pub, Jimmy John's, Starbucks and the Shout House piano bar.
"I'm not saying it's a great looking building, but it's not terrible," said Lee Holcomb at Gluek's Restaurant and Bar across the street. "I don't know why it didn't work at all."
The new owners of Block E wanted to transform the area into a downtown casino, but never got the necessary political support. Instead, it sounds like developers will convert Block E into office space.
"Gameworks, Applebee's, this place was full of everything," said Aaron Smith, who was at the last Block E movie on Sunday. "I remember seeing the blueprints, all the future plans. It's kind of sad."
AMC Theaters wanted to stay in Block E, even going to court to extend the lease. But Block E's new owners denied it, indicating they have plans for a massive facelift to the entertainment center.

Will tablet buzz hurt Kindle shipments?
First there are rumors of a $99 tablet from Amazon, and then the company comes out denying the prospect. Is the price point feasible?
Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle brand is getting a lot of attention this week; first because of a rumor claiming the company will follow in the footsteps of its Chinese competitors and release a $99 tablet.
The rumor originated at TechCrunch, whose sources say Amazon hoped to produce a low-cost tablet that is very similar to the current Kindle Fire HD.
According to TechCrunch's Sarah Perez, "the $99 Kindle Fire HD will also still sport a TI processor like the rest of the lineup, and will have a 1280×800 resolution, like today's Kindle Fire HD 7" does."
To illustrate the feasibility of a $99 tablet, Perez pointed to Amazon's recent price cuts for the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire, which received discounts of $30 (for the standard Wi-Fi model) and $100 (for the 4G/Wi-Fi iteration).
Perez also interviewed IDC Research Director Tom Mainelli, who said that the infrastructure is "definitely in place for Amazon to go even lower" than its current prices.
"If they can sell the product at roughly what it costs to build, that fits their long-term vision to make money selling you content on that device," he said. "It's entirely possible – physically possible – to create a device that costs $99, particularly at the scale that Amazon would do it."
TheWeek's Keith Wagstaff concurred, adding that the $99 price point "makes sense."
"If Amazon were to sell its tablet for less than $100, it would put Apple (AAPL) and others on notice," he wrote.
ZDNet's Adrian Kingsley-Hughes believes that a $99 Kindle Fire would "annihilate the Android tablet competition."
After the rumor had just enough time to excite the masses, Amazon responded by issuing a formal denial to Business Insider and everyone else on the Web.
According to those reports, an unnamed spokesperson said that the $99 tablet is "not happening -- we are already at the lowest price points possible for that hardware."
Of course, Amazon would have likely issued a similar statement about the prospect of a $159 Kindle Fire in 2011. Back then, the idea seemed crazy. But in September 2012, it finally happened. Thus it is not out of the question to think that an older/slightly modified Kindle Fire may one day sell for $99.
While that development is apparently on hold, there is another that's about to go into effect.
According to DigiTimes, Kindle e-reader shipments could drop by several hundred thousand units in March and April.
In January, Amazon reportedly shipped 750,000 Kindles worldwide. That number dropped to 420,000 in February, which proved to be a slow sales month for many corporations.
March isn't over yet, but the month is expected to be very hard on Amazon's Kindle division. The firm is expected to ship as few as 20,000 units this month. Shipments may be the same in April.

Findings from the 1998 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse show that use of illicit drugs declined slightly in the overall U.S. population from 1997 to 1998. However, use of illicit drugs decreased significantly among youths age 12 to 17, primarily due to a reduction in the use of inhalants.
The survey findings were released in August by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The survey estimates rates of use of a variety of illicit drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and other forms of tobacco. The results are based on interviews with a nationally representative sample of civilians age 12 and older who live outside of institutions. A sample of 25,500 persons was interviewed for the 1998 survey.
In 1998 an estimated 13.6 million Americans had used an illicit drug in the month before the survey interview. This number represents 6.2 percent of the population age 12 and older and is slightly less than the 13.9 million estimate for 1997. The number of current illicit drug users in 1998 was about half its peak in 1979, when an estimated 25 million Americans were current users.
Marijuana was the most frequently used illicit drug in 1998. About 60 percent of current illicit drug users reported marijuana use only, and another 21 percent reported use of marijuana and other illicit drugs.
The estimated rate of current illicit drug use among youths age 12 to 17 in 1998 was 9.9 percent, significantly lower than the rate of 11.4 percent in 1997. The rate of use of any illicit drug by youths has fluctuated since 1995; it was 10.9 percent in that year and 9 percent in 1996.
Reduced use of inhalants accounted for most of the decrease between 1997 and 1998. In 1998, 1.1 percent of youths reported current use of inhalants, compared with 2 percent in 1997, a significant difference. Nonsignificant decreases also occurred in the percentage of youths reporting current use of other drugs, including marijuana—down to 8.3 percent in 1998 from 9.4 percent in 1997.
The rate of illicit drug use among youths was higher among those who currently used cigarettes or alcohol. In 1998, 3.4 percent of youths who were nonsmokers used illicit drugs, compared with 39.1 percent of youths who used cigarettes. Among youths who were heavy drinkers—those who had five or more drinks on one occasion five or more days in the last month—68.5 percent were also users of illicit drugs. Among nondrinkers, only 2.9 percent were current illicit drug users.
In 1998 the rate of current illicit drug use among blacks (8.2 percent) was somewhat higher than among whites (6.1 percent) and Hispanics (6.1 percent), although the three groups did not differ appreciably in rates of use among youths age 12 to 17.
An estimated 113 million Americans—52 percent of the population age 12 and older—reported current use of alcohol in 1998. The rate of binge drinking in the overall population was 29.2 percent, and the rate of heavy alcohol use was 10.6 percent. The percentages of the population in these groups have not changed since 1988. The rate of alcohol use among young people age 12 to 20 was 9.2 percent, representing an estimated 10.4 million underage drinkers. Of this group, 5.1 million engaged in binge drinking (48.5 percent) and 2.3 million were heavy drinkers (21.9 percent). No statistically significant changes in rates of underage drinking have occurred since 1994.
The 1998 survey report included retrospective data on first-time use of substances in 1997. The rate of first use of marijuana among youths age 12 to 17 declined significantly in 1997 to 64 per thousand potential new users from 79 per thousand potential new users in 1996. An estimated 81,000 persons used heroin for the first time in 1997. The rate of first use of heroin among young people age 12 to 25 during the period from 1994 to 1997 was at the highest level since the early 1970s. The rate of new use of cocaine among youths age 12 to 17 was 10.8 per 1,000 potential new users in 1997, a rate similar to the high initiation rates of the early 1980s. There were an estimated 1.1 million new users of hallucinogens in all age groups in 1997. The rate of new users of hallucinogens among youths age 12 to 17 was 23.9 per 1,000 potential new users.
Of the estimated 23.1 million persons who used an illicit drug during 1998, 1.9 million reported some health problem due to their illicit drug use and 3.5 million reported an emotional or psychological problem due to drug use. An estimated 4.1 million people met diagnostic criteria for dependence on illicit drugs in 1997 and 1998, including 1.1 million youths age 12 to 17. An estimated 963,000 people had received treatment or counseling for their drug use.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has made major changes in the design of the 1999 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse. Use of computer-assisted interviewing was initiated, and the sample was expanded to 70,000 interviews. The new system will have the capability of providing state-level estimates of the prevalence of substance use. Results of the 1999 survey will be released next summer.
More information about the results of the 1998 survey, including detailed tables, can be found on the Web site of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration at www.samhsa.gov.
Most Illicit Drug Users Are Employed Full Time
Seventy percent of respondents to the 1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse who reported that they had used illicit drugs in the past month also reported that they were employed full time. Workers who reported that their workplace did not have a written policy addressing alcohol or drug use were more than twice as likely to say they used illicit drugs as were workers in workplaces with a written policy.
The findings are based on data from 7,957 full-time workers age 18 to 49 who responded to the 1997 survey. About 7.7 percent of those respondents reported current illicit drug use, and 7.6 percent reported heavy alcohol use. Projected to the U.S. population, the figures suggest that about 6.3 million full-time workers currently use illicit drugs, and about 6.2 million are heavy alcohol users.
Rates of illicit drug use and heavy alcohol use were highest among 18- to 25-year-olds, males, whites, and those with less than a high school education. Occupational categories with higher rates of illicit drug use included food preparation workers, waiters, and bartenders (19 percent); construction workers (14 percent); workers in other service occupations (13 percent); and transportation and material moving workers (10 percent). Rates of heavy alcohol use were higher for food preparation workers, waiters, and bartenders (15 percent); handlers, helpers, and laborers (14 percent); and construction workers (12 percent).
Highlights of the survey findings on workers' drug use are available from the Web site of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (www.samhsa.gov).
A review of managed care mental health carve-out plans for Medicaid beneficiaries in four states found that the plans lacked systematic federal oversight but that all states took steps to ensure that services were accessible and to monitor their quality.
The General Accounting Office (GAO), the investigative arm of Congress, conducted the review at the request of Senators Edward M. Kennedy (D.-Mass.) and Paul Wellstone (D.-Minn.), who were concerned about Medicaid beneficiaries' access to appropriate mental health services under managed care.
GAO selected four states for intensive analysis—Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts, and Washington—out of the 30 states that used Medicaid waivers for managed mental health services when the review began. All four states had implemented their managed care programs before January 1996 and had experienced more than one round of the contracting cycle with public or private managed care organizations.
In all the states the mental health carve-outs limited Medicaid beneficiaries to a single prepaid mental health plan. However, the states generally tried through contractual provisions to ensure that beneficiaries could choose their providers from within the plan's network and sometimes outside the network.
The states also set standards in their contracts for determining appropriate levels of services, using broad definitions of medical necessity, and generally reduced or eliminated requirements for prior authorization for access to outpatient care. The states generally expanded the range of covered community-based mental health services compared with their previous fee-for-service programs and reduced the use of inpatient services. To discourage the underprovision of services, the states also capped the profits, losses, or administrative expenditures of the contracting organizations. Colorado and Iowa required the organizations to invest a portion of the profits (or savings, if they were not-for-profit agencies) in new community-based mental health services.
The states monitored the quality of the carve-out plans using approaches based on federal laws and Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) regulations, GAO reported. These regulations covered quality assurance systems, grievance and appeals systems, medical audits, independent assessments of waiver programs, and data requirements.
The states supplemented these monitoring activities with other strategies, in part because the HCFA regulations were not focused specifically on mental health programs. GAO described the approach in Colorado and Washington State as generally "hands on." Colorado officials made regular site visits to each plan and also conducted annual programmatic site reviews of participating community mental health centers. In Washington, administrative and clinical teams conducted annual reviews of the state's county-based plans. The plans were required to have an independent team of consumers and family members visit each service location at least once a year to conduct focus groups with consumers, family members, social services staff, and community representatives.
Massachusetts and Iowa relied heavily on performance measures to monitor the contracting organizations, attaching financial incentives and sometimes penalties, GAO reported. Massachusetts established 20 performance measures in its carve-out plan, including medication monitoring after discharge, providing notification of hospitalization to the outpatient primary care physician, aftercare planning, and intensive case management for persons with both a psychiatric and a substance abuse diagnosis.
Both HCFA and state officials told GAO investigators that HCFA had minimal criteria for evaluating and overseeing Medicaid mental health carve-outs, and that HCFA regional staff had limited expertise or experience in mental health and managed care issues. Recognizing this problem, HCFA now routinely asks the staff of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to review and comment on all Medicaid waiver applications involving mental health. In addition, HCFA is developing a rule requiring carve-out organizations to have annual external quality reviews and is preparing a draft report to Congress on safeguards needed for individuals with special health care needs who are enrolled in managed care.
The report, entitled Medicaid Managed Care: Four States' Experiences With Mental Health Carve-Out Programs, is available on the Internet at www.gao.gov.
Free clozapine: Zenith Goldline Pharmaceuticals is offering free clozapine for indigent patents who are either unable to pay for the medication or who are awaiting financial assistance such as Medicaid. Psychiatrists, nurses, case managers, and pharmacists can enroll patients in the program by calling the Zenith Goldline Clozapine ALERT Program registry at 800-507-8334 and requesting a telephone transfer to the Clozapine Patient Assistance Program administrator. The administrator will record the patient's initials, Social Security number, the physician's Drug Enforcement Administration number, and the patient's average daily dosage and will arrange for an eight-week supply of clozapine to be sent to a registered pharmacy, at no charge. Patients can receive the free drug without submitting to means testing, filling out forms, or completing an application. As of late September, more than 23,000 patients and 7,500 physicians had registered in the program.
Parity in California: A new law that ensures parity in insurance coverage for mental illness has been signed by California Governor Gray Davis, bringing to 28 the number of states that have enacted parity laws. Fifty-four percent of Americans live in states with parity laws, and 120 million are covered by parity. The California law requires health plans to cover adults and children with the most severe mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, schizoaffective disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa. Beginning in July 2000, health maintenance organizations and insurers must provide equitable copayments, deductibles, and maximum lifetime benefits.
Minority research training: The American Psychiatric Association's Program for Minority Research Training in Psychiatry (PMRTP) supports training of minority medical students, psychiatric residents, and fellows who are interested in research by providing advice, placement assistance, tuition, stipends, financial support for travel, and funds for other expenses. The program, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, is directed by James Thompson, M.D., APA deputy medical director. For more information, contact Ernesto Guerra, Project Manager, PMRTP, APA, 1400 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005; phone, 800-852-1390; e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Appointment:Joseph Autry III, M.D., has been appointed deputy administrator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in Rockville, Maryland. He joined the staff of SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention in 1990 and was acting deputy administrator at SAMHSA at the time of his appointment.
Awards:E. Fuller Torrey, M.D., of Bethesda, Maryland, is the recipient of the 1999 Humanitarian Award from the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD). The award was presented October 15 in New York City. Dr. Torrey is a founder of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill and the author or editor of more than a dozen books dealing with schizophrenia. His research on schizophrenia in identical twins demonstrated a strong genetic link in the development of the disorder.
Other NARSAD award recipients were Salomon Z. Langer, Ph.D., of Paris, France, and Richard J. Wyatt, M.D., of Bethesda, Maryland, who shared the Lieber Prize for outstanding research achievements in schizophrenia. Frederick K. Goodwin, M.D., of Washington, D.C., and Husseini K. Manji, M.D., of Detroit shared the Nola Maddox Falcone Prize for outstanding achievements in research on affective disorders.
Dr. Langer is a researcher with Synthelabo Recherche whose work, in partnership with the Pasteur Institute in Paris, has led to the development of more finely tuned medication for schizophrenia. Dr. Wyatt, chief of the neuropsychiatry branch of the National Institute of Mental Health, is a leading researcher on the clinical and epidemiological aspects of schizophrenia. Dr. Goodwin, professor of psychiatry at George Washington University Medical Center, is a former director of the National Institute of Mental Health and an authority on depressive disorders. Dr. Manji, a 1997 recipient of a NARSAD Independent Investigator Award, directs Wayne State University's clinical research division on schizophrenia and mood disorders.

A year ago LA County Supervisors got a report labeled "confidential." It has been until it was made public today after, according to my sources, "being leaked" to the LA Times.
The report is harsh. It was prepared by an independent counsel at the request of LA County Supervisors. It states that, in the cases studied involving child deaths, children who should have been "detained" - put in Foster Care - were instead returned to birth parents. Per the report: "Individual social workers were praised for low detention numbers; all the while more children were dying while left in parents care."
An example of that is a story we have been following at FOX 11 -- the case of Tori Sandoval. She was removed from Foster Care and returned to her birthday parents. She was a tad over 2 years old when she died. She was just 25 months old.
The coroner who did the autopsy said that, besides the internal injuries that killed Tori, there were many other signs of chronic abuse. The relatively new head of DCFS is Philip Browning. He took over February 2012. The "confidential" report laid out ways to deal with the findings. His office says many of those suggestions have been implemented over the last year.
County Superviso Don Knabe's office concurs.

Cat Face
He's got the body of a cat and the face of a cat!
Try to escape by finding keys, items and solving puzzles!
Reemus has several journeys!
"In 2008, the largest particle accelerator ever created, the LHC at CERN's particle physics lab in Switzerland, was activated for the first time. The research obtained from this experiment has revolutionized the way we think about science. Un-answered questions that have puzzled man since the dawn of humanity are finally being answered. Are there extra dimensions? What is dark matter? Is time travel possible? Epsilon Experimental Sciences Research Facility aims to discover the potential of this whole new world of science, and you have been appointed as the primary test participant."
Going with what seems to be the current trend, I've made my version of a portal game. The challenges are based around solving tasks using various fictional technologies discovered as the result of the LHC experiment, primarily wormhole manipulation. Other methods include gravity shift, time reversal, and general cognitive dexterity.
I started this a while back and planned on coinciding it with the release of Valve's Portal, which coincidentally was around the same time CERN was planning to activate the particle accelerator. Unfortunately Epsilon still wasn't ready by the time Portal came out and the LHC still hasn't been switched on, so I decided to leave it until now.
Thanks to Geier Arnold for the original soundtrack, and for tirelessly helping out in the beta testing process.
NOTE: If you are experiencing problems with lag while freezing the ball, try turning off the ghost rooms by pressing G.
Just like Portal 2 except with a ball
Really good. 10/10. All my 10's belong to ;the game series and this!
this game is awesome. some parts are kinda hard but that just adds to the fun of trying to figure it out. good job.
good but,
when you have played portal 2 this is an easy task :P
"portal rival"
this is truely an inventive game that indulges ones lust to go suck opn that for beating a test they can't. A game that lacks only one thing a level creator but considering how superb the rest of the game it still get the 10/10 5/5 treatment
My real name is Eon :D
and great game XD

East Tennessee Children's Hospital » Patients & Families » Health Information
Rescue medications are a type of medication used by people with asthma to relieve asthma symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath) or to treat an asthma flare-up. They're also known as quick-relief or fast-acting medications because they act quickly to stop symptoms, but the effects aren't long lasting. Most are inhaled and work by relaxing the muscle around the airways (the tubes that carry air into and out of the lungs), making the airways wider and allowing breathing to become easier within minutes. They don't treat the underlying inflammation of the airways - this can require daily treatment with other types of medications called controller medications. Some people with asthma rely only on rescue medications; others use rescue medications together with controller medications to keep their asthma in check overall.

// Realization.//
When you reach that point of realization that your plans might not be in line with God's plans, its like a breath of fresh air. It took me a while, yes, but I finally have a sense of peace about a certain situation in my life.
God has blessed me with wonderful people in my life who continue to uplift and pour into me daily. He surprised me the other day when he put someone new in my life..perhaps someone I didn't even want in my life. God opens doors left and right. He is constantly teaching me to love, no matter the circumstances. He is also, through this person, showing me that there are people I may not know praying for me specifically from all the way across the planet. That blows my mind and gives me an overwhelming feeling of grace. He knows how I feel about this person. Even though she is my sister in Christ, its natural for me to feel this way about her. But I love her because she is my sister in Christ.
I'm well aware that none of you reading this (if anyone reads this) really know what I am talking about. But God knows. He knows my heart on the matter. I'm extremely thankful for this person and their willingness to pray and uplift me from afar. We all need those kinds of people in our lives. Encouragers, people who understand where you are because THEY HAVE BEEN THERE TOO. Its cool how God works.
I know that as long as I continue to focus on Him and my plans to better His Kingdom, wether is be in Greece, Australia, or wherever; my life will fall into place. My God loves me and has a plan for my life. I can talk to my God about anything. I get goosebumps thinking about that.
Easter is coming up. This is such a great time to remember what He did for me. He didn't just die on a cross to save me; He died on a cross to save the World. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son. So that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish BUT have eternal life." -John 3:16. My God isn't like any other God. He works in mysterious ways. In giving my life to Him, I'm trusting in Him with my life. I surely wouldn't want to trust anyone else with my life.

The word "immediate" crops up often when Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan reflect on their short evolution as the Milk Carton Kids. They use it to explain the intense chemistry they share as singers and guitarists whose close harmonies belie the fact that they started the folk duo just two years ago.
On "The Ash & Clay," their unvarnished new album on Anti- Records, they come across as Dust Bowl troubadours armed with acoustic guitars and voices that mesh beautifully, like those of siblings. For shorthand, you can think of the Milk Carton Kids, who come to Brighton Music Hall on Thursday, as an all-male version of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.

By Greg Roumeliotis
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ares Management LLC has been pitched on the idea of an initial public offering for the past year, but the firm that had been widely expected to be the next among major private equity firms to go public has no plans to pull the trigger just yet.
Sources familiar with Ares, which has about $70 billion in assets under management, said major Wall Street banks have been calling on the firm to discuss the merits of an IPO. The success of the listing by private equity heavyweight Carlyle Group LP
Ares also sees long-term trends favoring public alternative asset managers and thinks it is well-positioned to go public. It does not, though, see the need for an IPO in the near future, the sources said.
That view would likely change if Ares foresaw a big acquisition opportunity and wanted to create a publicly traded stock to use as currency for the deal, the sources said. No such deal is currently planned, they added.
Banks that have pitched Ares on the idea of the IPO include JPMorgan Chase & Co
But the Los Angeles-based manager is yet to be convinced. Its current structure has allowed Ares to more than double its assets in the past four years and to share its profits broadly with its partners.
The sources asked not to be identified because the deliberations at Ares are private. Spokespeople for Ares and the investment banks declined to comment.
A publicly traded stock brings both benefits and headaches.
Just this week, publicly traded rival KKR & Co LP
These firms also use their shares to incentivize staff, as publicly traded stock can be sold and bought much more easily than stakes in private firms.
But firms also have to add a battery of compliance and other staff to ensure they are meeting listing rules, are obliged to reveal much more about their performance publicly, and have to worry about how investors will react to volatility in quarterly results. They also have to reassure their fund investors that they remain a top priority.
Since the stock market debuts of Blackstone Group LP
These firms have enjoyed big gains this year, thanks to asset sales that have boosted earnings. Shares of Blackstone and KKR, for example, are up 88 percent and 65 percent year-to-date, respectively, compared with a 26 percent rise in the S&P 500 Index <.INX>. (Graphic http://link.reuters.com/dec45v)
"With robust equity market returns, an open exit window, and fundraising tailwind, we see a strong alternative asset manager backdrop heading into 2014," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote in a review of the industry last month, warning that the biggest risk would be a drop in equity values that would weigh on the cash generated from asset sales.
Ares came to a crossroads in July when it decided it would raise new capital to expand its investment platform and seed new funds. It could have opted for an IPO or a private placement. It chose the latter, selling a 6.25 percent equity stake in the firm to insurer Alleghany Corp
Ares viewed the deal as strategic because Alleghany's shareholding also came with a commitment to invest $1 billion across Ares funds. Like other alternative asset managers including Apollo, Daniel Loeb's Third Point LLC and David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital Inc, Ares is keen to manage such assets because insurance liabilities are seen as a good fit for the returns of its portfolio.
It was the second major private placement that Ares had accepted. In 2007, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority acquired a 20 percent stake in Ares for $375 million, giving it a valuation of $1.9 billion at that time.
If Ares eventually decides to go public, its specialty finance business, Ares Capital Corp (ARCC)
Ares has grown ARCC into the biggest and one of the best-performing business development companies (BDCs), which pay at least 90 percent of their annual earnings as dividends to avoid corporate taxation under provisions passed by Congress in 1980.
"It is very lucrative for them but it has also been a great investment for Ares Capital shareholders," said Stephens Inc analyst Kyle Joseph.
Based on the management fees and incentive fees that Ares receives from ARCC, analysts estimate that ARCC could be worth up to $1.5 billion to Ares.
Ares had about $51 billion of its assets as of the end of September in private and public credit strategies. Its stronghold in direct lending and wider credit investments can be traced to the roots of its founders, Antony Ressler, John Kissick, Bennett Rosenthal and David Kaplan. Ressler and Kissick worked as bond traders in the 1980s at Drexel Burnham Lambert, and in 1990 co-founded Apollo alongside Leon Black, Marc Rowan and Joshua Harris.
At Apollo, Ressler and Kissick led the firm's capital markets business and in 1997 spun it out into Ares, which became independent in 2002. Rosenthal joined Ares in 1998 from Merrill Lynch & Co's global leveraged finance group while Kaplan joined in 2003 from investment firm Shelter Capital Partners LLC.
Ares launched its first private equity fund in 2003, raising $750 million. Its latest private equity fund, raised last year, amassed $4.7 billion. With $9 billion in private equity assets as of the end of September, Ares has also been assuming a more prominent profile in corporate buyouts.
In October, Ares and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board teamed up to acquire luxury department store operator Neiman Marcus Group Ltd for about $6 billion in Ares' biggest-ever leveraged buyout.
In real estate, Ares acquired the majority of its assets this year. It bought real estate asset manager AREA Property Partners LP in July, boosting assets in its real estate group to $8 billion from $2 billion.
In September it bought Alliant Capital LLC, an originator of multi-family loans that was absorbed by its Ares Commercial Real Estate Corp
