Another good flash racing game. I love the actual driving/controls and the drafting aspect. It's quite challenging, too. I wasn't crazy about some of the "non-racing" challenges (hitting fish/pies, slalom gates, etc.) but the actual racing is top notch. I've spent hours on this thing.

George Will: Into uncharted constitutional territory
The court should tread cautiously, if at all, on this dark and bloody ground.
The Obama administration says California's law expresses "prejudice" that is "impermissible." But same-sex marriage is a matter about which intelligent people reasonably disagree, partly because so little is known about its consequences.
When a federal judge asked the lawyer defending California's ban what harm same-sex marriage would do to the state's interests in "the procreation purpose" of heterosexual marriage, the lawyer said, "I don't know." This was mistakenly portrayed as a damaging admission. Both sides should acknowledge that, so far, no one can know.
A brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court concerning the California case by conservative professors Leon Kass and Harvey Mansfield and the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy warns that "the social and behavioral sciences have a long history of being shaped and driven by politics and ideology." And research about, for example, the stability of same-sex marriages or child rearing by same-sex couples is "radically inconclusive" because these are recent phenomena and they provide a small sample from which to conclude that these innovations will be benign.
Unlike the physical sciences, the social sciences can rarely settle questions using "controlled and replicable experiments." Today "there neither are nor could possibly be any scientifically valid studies from which to predict the effects of a family structure that is so new and so rare." Hence there can be no "scientific basis for constitutionalizing same-sex marriage."
The brief does not argue against same-sex marriage as social policy, other than by counseling caution about altering foundational social institutions when guidance from social science is as yet impossible. The brief is a pre-emptive refutation of inappropriate invocations of spurious social science by supporters of same-sex marriage.
For example, a district court cited Dr. Michael Lamb, a specialist in child development, asserting that the "gender of a child's parent is not a factor in a child's adjustment" and that "having both a male and female parent does not increase the likelihood that a child will be well-adjusted."
The conservatives' brief notes that, testifying in the trial court, Lamb "had conceded that his own published research concluded that growing up without fathers had significant negative effects on boys" and that considerable research indicates "that traditional opposite-sex biological parents appear in general to produce better outcomes for their children than other family structures do."
The brief is replete with examples of misleading argumentation using data not drawn from studies satisfying "the scientific standard of comparing large random samples with appropriate control samples." The late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a distinguished social scientist, said the "pronounced" liberal orientation of the social sciences is "well established" and explainable: "Social scientists are frequently caught up in the politics which their work necessarily involves" because social science "attracts persons whose interests are in shaping the future."
This helps explain why "Brandeis briefs" have shaped American law. Before joining the Supreme Court, Louis Brandeis defended constitutional challenges to progressive legislation by using briefs stressing social science data, or what purported to be such, rather than legal arguments. He advanced his political agenda by bald assertions inexcusable even given the limited scientific knowledge of the time. For example, in his 1908 defense of an Oregon law restricting the number of hours women could work, he said "there is more water" in women's than in men's blood and women's knees are constructed differently.
Since Moynihan wrote the above in 1979, the politicization of the social sciences has become even more pronounced, particularly in matters of "lifestyle liberalism." Hence the need for judicial wariness about social science that purports to prove propositions - e.g., that same-sex marriage is, or is not, harmful to children or society - for which there cannot yet be decisive evidence.
If California's law is judged by legal reasoning, rather than by social science ostensibly proving that the state has no compelling interest served by banning same-sex marriage, the law may still be overturned on equal protection grounds. But such a victory for gay rights, grounded on constitutional values, and hence cast in the vocabulary of natural rights philosophy, would at least be more stable than one resting uneasily on the shiftable sand of premature social science conclusions.

Types and Goals of Treatment for Primary Bone Cancer
Most people with primary bone cancer will have more than one treatment. The treatments you have depend on your age, general health, and the stage,�as well as the type, of�bone cancer.
Following�are the treatments for primary bone cancer. They are listed from most commonly used to least commonly used:
Surgery. Often, the first operation is a biopsy�your doctor performs to obtain a tissue sample from the tumor. A pathologist examines the tissue�to determine if it is indeed cancer, and�then identifies the�specific type of tumor and how aggressive it is likely to be. Another surgery removes the tumor and�a margin of surrounding tissue to ensure complete resection of the cancerous tissue. The surgeon will try not to harm your appearance or affect your limb function. Depending on the tumor location and size, this can be challenging. Sometimes, major reconstructive surgery is required.�Limb amputation, less common, �may be the best option.
Chemotherapy.�This treatment uses drugs to kill cancer. Usually, you take the drugs via an IV (intravenous) infusion in your vein. The drugs travel throughout your body in your bloodstream. Doctors typically� give chemotherapy on a schedule of cycles over a specific period of time. Your doctor may use chemotherapy to shrink tumors before they are surgically removed. The drugs may also be used on tumors that cannot be surgically removed.�Sometime, you may have chemotherapy to treat cancer that has spread to distant places in your body. You may have chemotherapy before surgery, after surgery, or both.
Radiation therapy.�This treatment kills cancer cells using high-energy X-rays. There are several types of radiation therapy. You may have external radiation, which is the most common. This type directs radiation through your skin to the tumor with a machine outside your body. You may have internal radiation. This involves inserting radioactive substances inside your body, usually through catheters. The catheters are in place for a short period of time.�Sometimes, you may receive radiation therapy in the operating room.�With a few exceptions, radiation therapy is not the mainstay of�bone cancer treatment. However, sometimes radiation may be given�to tumors that cannot be removed.�It may be given�to the area where the tumor was removed,�but with�margins too close to ensure complete resection.�Recent advancements in radiation include�Intensity-modulated radiation and proton beam therapies. Doctors also use radiation to ease the symptoms of bone cancer.
Doctors continually explore new ways to treat bone cancer. They test these new methods in clinical trials.�Before starting treatment, ask your doctor if there are any clinical trials that you should consider.

Chicago Really Short Film Fest Announces 2005 Event Date, April 1 Deadline for Submission
xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Chicago Really Short Film Fest Announces 2005 Event Date, April 1 Deadline for Submission
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 9, 2005 -
Maia Entertainent today announced the details of its second annual Chicago Really Short Film Fest, to take place on May 7, 2005 at the Abbey Pub (3420 W. Grace Chicago, Il 60618). Festival organizers also announced a call for filmmakers to submit their short pieces, emphasizing an April 1st deadline for consideration.
Presented by Maia Entertainent, ChicagoFilm.com, Image Union and eFilmCriticÂÂs Erik Childress, the Chicago Really Short Film Fest is unique in both its format and submission requirements. Submissions for the fest must be under 15 minutes and may include short films, animations, documentaries and music videos.
The one-night only film festival is interspersed with two bands (TRS-80, Project .44) and sketch comedy (The Patel Leads) and the majority of the films submitted for the event consist of low-budget, independent and underground films from both local and national talent.
ÂÂWe started this festival as a way to screen some of our favorite local filmmakers and to throw a really good party at a great venue. We were amazed at the high quality of submissions we got last year from all over the country and the support we got from both the independent filmmaking community and a really responsive audience. We had a packed house last year and a solid lineup of films and our goal is to go even further than that this year,ÂÂ said festival founder Rick Ramirez.
Submitting filmmakers are eligible for consideration for several awards and prizes: The Audience Choice Award, the ChicagoFilm Go Shorty Awards, the eFilmCritic Award, and all event participants are in consideration for a paid screening on WTTW Channel 11ÂÂs award-winning film show Image Union.
ÂÂWe really go all out to make sure that all our accepted filmmakers receive a larger audience and more exposure than they might be able to get anywhere else,ÂÂ said Ramirez.
ÂÂLast year three of the films from the festival ended up being screened on Image Union, where not only were the filmmakers compensated for their films, but they were able to expose their work to a large, appreciative new audience of Chicagoland film fans. Our goal with this festival is definitely to put on a great show, but also to discover and expose the work of talented short filmmakers.ÂÂ
The 2005 Chicago Really Short Film Fest Submission date is rapidly approaching. The regular submission deadline is April 1st. The submission fee is $ 15 and $ 5 off per additional film, with discounts available for student filmmakers. Late registration goes until April 7th, with a $ 50 fee for late submission.

The 2010 International Experimental Media Congress, the first Congress of its kind since the 1989 Toronto Experimental Film Congress, will assemble film, video, new media artists, theorists, archivists, and curators from around the world, who will be in Toronto through April 11 for panels and discussions related to experimental media production, exhibition, dissemination, criticism, pedagogy and reception.

The 2010 French Quarter Festival, opening April 9-11, highlights New Orleans' signature music, food, and culture in the historic neighborhood, mostly by a musical smorgasbord of jazz, r&b, funk, folk, opera, gospel, blues, and brass bands, but also with over 105 food and beverage booths located in Jackson Square, Woldenberg Riverfront Park, and the Louisiana State Museum's Old U.S. Mint, forming the "World's Largest Jazz Brunch" with local cuisines from the area's finest restaurants including such festival favorites as Jambalaya, Crawfish Bread, Gumbo, Red Beans and Rice, Muffaletta, Crawfish, and more.
The annual National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) conference and expo for professionals who create filmed entertainment, and the development, management and delivery of content across all mediums and platforms, happens this year from April 10-15 in Las Vegas. Comic strip icon, Stan Lee (co-creator of Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Daredevil, Silver Surfer), will be at this year's event, and the NAB Education Foundation (NABEF) in partnership with the Broadcast Education Association (BEA) and Radio-Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) will host its annual spring Career Fair at the NAB Show.

The Beverly Hills Film Festival, a competition festival dedicated to showcasing non-studio films and screenplays of emerging filmmakers in the city generally recognized as the headquarters for VIPs to the motion picture industry, is now in its tenth year, opening for a run from April 14-18, while treating festival goers to nightly theme parties, seminars, and a charity benefit. Nashville Film Festival, an Academy qualifier for short films, opens April 15 this year, through April 22, and because it takes place in "Music City" it is only natural that part of the focus be on music in films. So in addition to the many films about music and the Music Films in Music City awards, NaFF presents showcases, workshops, and other events where songwriters and artists come together with film professionals from Hollywood and around the world to promote collaboration. The 45th Academy of Country Music Awards will broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas on CBS television network Sunday, April 18 at 8 pm (EST), hosted by Reba McEntire. For those fortunate to attend the Awards live in Las Vegas, the ACM All-Star Jam follows the award ceremony featuring impromptu performances from artists who participated in the Awards show.

The mission of the Rincón International Film Festival is to support and promote culture and the arts in Puerto Rico through the medium of film. Rincón, Puerto Rico is also a Surfer's paradise, so the festival is also looking to screen great surfing films, particularly at the beachfront resorts that will be used as screening venues during the festival run, April 20-25. The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) is a nonprofit organization devoted to a greater appreciation of Indian cinema and culture by showcasing films, honoring entertainment industry performers and business executives, and promoting the diverse perspectives of the Indian diaspora. Awards will be presented on April 22 (the festival itself runs April 20-25) at the IFFLA Industry Leadership Award Luncheon held at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. The show will include performances by TAAL Dance Collective. Championing the short film format, Filmfest Dresden promotes a film category which is mostly disregarded by cinemas and television. This year, Filmfest Dresden is supplementing its film programmes with an extensive range of special events discussions, receptions and get-togethers such as on April 22 when the Saxony Film Association, the German Short Film Association, Filmfest Dresden, the School-goers Cinema Dresden, the Dresden Narrow Gauge Festival and other institutes are holding a reception where people will have an opportunity to get together for mutual exchanges.
As it usually does, the Tribeca Film Festival in New York will host many free events during its run from April 21 to May 5, for film fans and families, including: Tribeca Drive-In, an outdoor screening series that takes place at the World Financial Center Plaza, where you can watch professional salsa dancers, listen to live salsa music, enter dancing contests, and even take salsa lessons, following the screening of the HBO documentary The Spirit of Salsa. Then there will be the Tribeca Talks: Industry panels touching on all aspects of the filmmaking trade, and The Tribeca/ESPN Sports Day. Opening on April 22 until April 26, Palm Beach International Film Festival, started in 1996 to give the area a foothold in the film industry as well as to benefit the area's community schools through grant and scholarship awards, will emphasize its newly formed Friends of the PBIFF, which offers an array of fun-filled events to raise funds and awareness on a year-round basis for the PBIFF. Founded in 1957, the San Francisco International Film Festival, running April 22 to May 6, is thought to be one of the longest-running film festival in the Americas. This year, SFIFF has an line-up of narrative feature films, live action and animated shorts, television and theatrical documentaries, experimental work, digital media, and industry panels, seminars, awards events, onstage tributes, retrospectives, and the well regarded Schools at the Festival program, which brings an estimated 4,200 grade school students into the festival.
ShowBiz Expo Los Angeles is the west coast counterpart to the show held in New York City in March — but runs for two days, April 24-25. Like New York the Los Angeles Expo includes a wide range of networking opportunities including the Exhibit Hall, Workshops/Seminars, Round Table Discussions, Headshot Displays, etc., and most importantly, live audition opportunities for which there is limited enrollment on a first come basis. MUSEEXPO 2010 will be in Los Angeles from April 25-28, and will incorporate the intimate format that marked its beginnings as organic networking dinners organized by A&R Network and A&R Worldwide architect Sat Bisla, aimed at bringing together friends and like-minded relationships from the global radio, A&R, film/TV music supervision, publishing, new media and artist management communities. In London on April 27, noted film director and FOCAL International's Chair of Patrons, Lord David Putnam, opens the FOCAL International Awards festivities with a champagne reception sponsored by AP Archive, followed by a three-course dinner. FOCAL was formed in 1985 as an international, non-profit professional trade association representing commercial film/audiovisual, stills and sound libraries. The black tie and evening cocktail attire affair ends late with an after party also sponsored by AP Archive.

xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Mira Sorvino and James Cromwell to be Honored at Artivist Film Festival and 2005 Artivist Awards April 19-24
(PRWEB) December 4, 2004
Mira Sorvino and James Cromwell to be Honored at Artivist Film Festival and 2005 Artivist Awards April 19-24
Second Annual Humanitarian Film Fest Also Pays Tribute To Amnesty International, Greenpeace, Prevent Child Abuse America And Farm Sanctuary.
The Artivist Film Festival, which recognizes socially conscious filmmakers, activist celebrities and charitable organizations, has announced two of the four celebrities that will be honored at Artivist Film Festival 2005 as well as the four worthy charities.
Artivist Film Festival 2005 is set to recognize the outstanding contributions of Mira Sorvino for her work with Amnesty International and international human rights as well as James Cromwell for his tireless efforts dedicated to animal rights and Farm Sanctuary. Two additional celebrities will be announced shortly for their respective work for Greenpeace benefiting environmental preservation and Prevent Child Abuse which fights for ChildrenÂÂs Advocacy. The celebrities and charities will be honored at the 2005 Artivist Awards, an awards gala that will be held on the last night of the festival.
The festival, which will begin on April 19, 2005, will once again take place at the famed Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. Over the course of the six day event, filmmakers from around the world will compete in various categories of film or video including narrative, documentary and short film. Committed to strengthening the advocate voice of activist filmmakers and artists, Artivist Film Festival creates a much needed platform for them to share their work with large audiences. Artivist is now accepting film submissions and will announce the final roster of films that will be in competition in February 2005.
ÂÂActivist filmmakers can become a powerful voice for positive change in our global community,ÂÂ said Artivist Film Festival Founder Diaky Diaz. ÂÂTheir films address a variety of social issues ranging from international human right and childrenÂÂs advocacy to environmental preservation and compassion for all sentient beings. Activist films educate, inspire create awareness and ultimately encourage people to contribute to the improvement of our world.ÂÂ
Artivist team members are also presently securing sponsors for the festival as well as commencing on an aggressive marketing and public relations campaign that will ensure maximum exposure for the charities and film festival as well as for the sponsors. In addition, supporters may become members of the Artivist Patron Circle.
Artivist Film Festival 2005 follows on the highly-successful footsteps of the inaugural Artivist Film Festival that was held last April. The premiere festival attracted over 4,240 people, more than 150 international filmmakers, producers and artists from 14 countries, all of whom participated in the screening of 89 films. Highlights of the last yearÂÂs festival included screenings of such notable films as Super Size Me by director Morgan Spurlock, Uncover The Truth Of The Iraq War by Robert Greenwald and The Corporation from
filmmaker Mark Achbar.
The 2004 Artivist Awards were bestowed upon Ed Begley, Jr. and Greenpeace for environmental preservation, Mike Farrell and Witness for International Human Rights, Tippi Hendren and Humane Society of the United States and France Nuyen and Child Welfare League of America
for childrenÂÂs advocacy.
The Artivist Film Festival is the first festival dedicated to addressing social, global, political, animal rights and environmental issues through film, visual arts and music.

Flank steak. Yum.
We bought half a cow last week.
If you haven't looked into buying a part of or a whole farm animal, I'd like to endorse the practice. We started by buying half a hog from a co-worker of my husband's about 15 years ago, and have repeated the process several times in the last decade.
I'll save the particulars of bulk meat buying for another day, but I wanted to mention it because of my favorite cut, the flank steak. It's not the tenderest cut by far, but I have an old family recipe that sends me back to my childhood every time we serve it up. Besides, flank makes a yummy dinner one day and an even better steak sandwich, in your lunchbox, the next day.
By the way, if you've ever bought "London broil" at the grocery store, you probably got flank steak or top round. London broil is a cooking method to make the best of a tasty-but-tough cut, and that's exactly what this recipe does.
Note that the recipe probably came into my life in the late 60's and some of the ingredients (ketchup, vegetable oil) reflect it. I'm sure, in its day, it bordered on exotic: garlic! soy sauce! no salt (soy sauce notwithstanding)! More than an 1/8th teaspoon pepper! An actual spice! That said, it works exceedingly well, is simplicity itself, and never fails to wow family and guests alike.
Here's the recipe. Simple, accessible, delicious:
Marinated Flank
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 C soy sauce (or tamari, per your preference)
2 T ketchup (any brand will do)
2 T vegetable oil
1 t ground pepper
1 t dried oregano
Pour over a two to three lb. flank steak, refrigerate and let marinate 4-12 hours. Grill over or broil under high heat to your liking (though this less-than-tender cut does best if grilled no more than medium rare – 140 degrees), then remove the steak and allow to rest 10 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve.
Hoard the leftovers (if any), and serve on a hoagie roll for lunch the next day.


text: I'm so relieved...after nine months of no luck and painful cycles, my doctor ordered an ultrasound and found an ovarian cyst measuring between 3.5 and 4.0 centimeters. She recommended three months on the pill, which I started in November. I just got the results of my three month follow up ultrasound and it's gone! Even better, there was a two millimeter spot on the other ovary, which she said is probably an egg getting ready to release! I've been on antibiotics for a sinus infection, which decreases the effectiveness of birth control. However, that was two days ago and we haven't DTD since last week. But I am hopeful going forward for all of us :-)

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- The teenager identified by witnesses as the triggerman who opened fire at an early Sunday morning party along Lakesedge Drive has been charged with open murder, two counts of attempted murder and three felony gun counts.
19-year-old Tyrein Deanthony Sheppard was ordered held without bond. He is specifically charged with shooting 23-year-old Jante Mackerel to death and wounding an 18-year-old who's name and condition has not been released.
The suspect in Sunday morning's other homicide in the Vine Neighborhood has also been formally charged. 34-year-old Brian Dwight Peterson is also being held without bond on an open murder charge.
Peterson allegedly intervened in a fight between 24-year-old roommate Luke Vincent and Vincent's girlfriend at their Cedar St. apartment house, and it ended when the younger man's head was bashed in with a barbell.
Both could get up to life if convicted of the most serious charges against them.

MARTIN COUNTY -- For about 25 years, Bonnie Landry has attended the Stuart Christmas parade, an event that for her is a key part of local holiday celebrations.
This year for the first time, Ms. Landry will co-chair the parade organized by Stuart Main Street and the Downtown Business Association.
"It's quite a tradition here," Ms. Landry said of the parade that has been a major attraction for more than half a century.
"It's a community event and something that most people have been participating in for many years."
Now in its 52nd year, the annual Christmas parade is returning to downtown at 7 p.m. on Dec. 7.
This year's theme is "Christmas by the Sea," and will feature Santa Claus in a beach buggy.
The parade will travel about 1.25 miles along East Ocean Boulevard between Georgia Avenue and Monterrey Road.
About 80 entrants have signed up, including dancers, seven bands, five performing groups and 28 lighted floats.
"It's always spectacular and always fun," said Leslie Burgess, who's attended the parade for more than a decade. "It creates a great sense of community that you don't get in other cities."
Serving as grand marshal will be Martin County Sheriff Robert Crowder, who is leaving office in January after 20 years in the chief law enforcement role.
Residents who can't be among the thousands set to attend the parade can watch it on Martin County Television, MCTV channel 20, for coverage by co-hosts Gabriella Ferraro and Kate Parmelee.
"There's such broad participation," said Ms. Landry, who is chairing the parade with colleague Teresa Lamar-Sarno.
"You have quite a diverse group, from businesses to nonprofits and elected officials coming out to be part of this."

Amateur radio operators use many different ways to get signals from one spot to another. Perhaps one of the most interesting is meteor scatter propagation.
Meteor scatter propagation is possible because when a meteor strikes the Earth's atmosphere, a cylindrical region of free electrons is formed at the E layer of the ionosphere. (E3A08) 28 – 148 MHz is the frequency range that is well suited for meteor-scatter communications. (E3A09)
Unfortunately, these ionization trails are relatively short-lived, so to communicate via meteor scatter, you need to either be able to detect when these paths are available or be transmitting when the paths are available. All of these choices are correct when talking about good techniques for making meteor-scatter contacts (E3A10):
- 15 second timed transmission sequences with stations alternating based on location
- Use of high speed CW or digital modes
- Short transmission with rapidly repeated call signs and signal reports
For more information on meteor scatter, go to:

The Boston Bruins continue streaking, beating the Philadelphia Flyers for their fourth win in a row. Tim Thomas earned his 30th career shut out as the Bruins controlled this contest from the start. Here are my five observations.
Number Five- Tim Thomas
Hard to believe that Thomas is all the way down to five on this, and there are many reasons. So many things happened in this game, and it is almost expected to see a performance like this out of Thomas. He saved 31 shots against the Flyers for his 30th career shutout and fourth of the season.
Number Four- Fights
The Bruins got in three fights tonight. Zdeno Chara, Johnny Boychuk and Nathan Horton all won their respective fights. The Flyers are one one of the more physical teams in the NHL, and it seemed like their game plan today was to play physical. However, the Bruins still remain as arguably the toughest team in the league, so the Philly plan may have back fired.
Number Three- Problems Brewing?
With about three minutes left in the game, head coach Claude Julien threw out his own player in Brad Marchand. Julien has been fed up with the mistakes and penalties from the "Bad Brat," and it hit a nerve today. Tyler Seguin was also bumped down to the fourth line with Shawn Thornton moved up to the second. There could be some concerns here with the Bruins two young guns, which is not good, as they are the developing stars of this team.
Number Two- Zdeno Chara
In his return, Chara did not disappoint. He jumped in and was the best defenseman in the game, and led the Bruins with 23 minutes of time on ice. He got into a fight, scored a power play goal and assisted on Horton's goal to pick up the Gordie Howe hat trick in his return,
Number One- Daniel Paille
Paille has impressed me so much. After his stunning playoff performance, Paille has come back and scored three goals in his last two games as the Bruins leading scorer in that time. He has made the fourth line dangerous, and it might be time for a promotion soon.
The Bruins play their hated rivals the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night, in Montreal.

Goal: reduce time-to-treatment to save lives, heart muscle
Every minute of a heart attack is critical, with blocked coronary arteries preventing blood from reaching oxygen-starved heart muscle.
Today, Louisville Metro EMS, the American Heart Association and seven area hospital systems announced a new partnership to improve heart attack care by shortening the time between ambulance arrival and treatment by EMS, and opening the blockage in the hospital cardiac catheterization lab – a procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention or PCI.
The system is designed for STEMI heart attacks (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions), which can block blood flow and damage large sections of heart muscle. Using sophisticated technology and building upon guidelines established by the American Heart Association's Mission: Lifeline program, Louisville Metro EMS crews will use mobile EKGs to diagnose STEMI heart attacks in the field. Paramedics will then wirelessly transmit these EKGs to the nearest hospital that can perform emergency PCI. While the ambulance is en route, the hospital's cardiac team will be called together for emergency treatment.
"For someone having a heart attack, the risk of irreversible damage to the heart and possible death increases with each and every minute," said Dr. Neal Richmond, CEO and Medical Director of LMEMS. "So, there's a need for speed. Our paramedics will diagnose these heart attacks and immediately notify the closest hospital team on stand-by. This will compress the time between the call to 911 and critical intervention in the lab. The American Heart Association wants this to happen in less than 90 minutes. Our goal is to beat that standard every time."
"This important collaboration between EMS, the American Heart Association and hospital cardiac care systems reinforces our city's commitment to providing our community with outstanding emergency medical care," said Mayor Jerry Abramson. "The STEMI network puts Louisville in elite company – just several large cities are currently starting similar networks, and even fewer have the wireless capability to transmit EKGs in real time."
"We really appreciate EMS' leadership in putting together this team," said Ron Alsup, state health alliances director for the American Heart Association. "By involving our community hospitals in this program, and highlighting the need to call 911, we're truly putting the care of heart patients front and center."
The participating hospitals include:
Baptist Hospital East
Jewish Hospital Downtown
Norton Hospital
Norton Audubon
University Hospital
Clark Memorial Hospital
Floyd Memorial Hospital

Jim Dickrell is the editor of Dairy Today and is based in Monticello, Minn.
By Jim Dickrell
There are those who want to close the borders to imports, forget exports and shut off immigration.
In last week's September 2009 Outlook, Penn State economist Jim Dunn published a very simple chart, which can be found on page seven when you follow this link. If there was ever a more simple response to these arguments, I haven't seen it.
Over the past 20 years, Dunn plotted U.S. population, U.S. cow numbers and milk per cow. The U.S. population has been has been growing about 1% per year over that time frame. Cow numbers have dropped from nearly 10 million cows in 1990 to about 9.2 million today. By sometime next year, we'll dip below 9 million. But milk per cow has shot up from 14,800 lb. in 1990 to more than 20,000 lb. today, or roughly a 2% per year increase. That's an astounding productivity gain, compounded year after year after year.
Per capita consumption, the amount of dairy products the average U.S. consumer consumes, bounces around. In the first part of the period beginning in 1990, it actually fell. More recently, it has increased slightly. But over the entire period, it has been essentially flat.
So the bottom line is this: "It is apparent that production per cow is growing faster than the population. As a result, …each year fewer cows would be needed to provide the milk than the domestic market would require," writes Dunn. "It is the major reason that if the industry is going to maintain or grow, it must export milk."
Others want to restrict imports, saying they're unneeded, given the U.S. dairy producer's capacity to make milk. But such restrictions will inevitably lead to other countries placing restrictions on importing from us.
Still others want the U.S. to institute a supply management program. But even here, annual productivity gains of 2% will mean fewer and fewer cows will be needed to fill the quotas each year. A study several years ago showed Canadian dairy farm numbers, even with quotas, declining at the same rate as U.S. dairy farm numbers. Go figure.
And some folks want to send all the illegal aliens back across our southern border. They blame this access to cheap labor to the rapid rise of large scale dairy farms. But ask any dairy producer who employs Hispanic labor, and he or she will tell you they are no cheaper than the home-grown variety—plus they have the uncanny ability to show up for work every day and complete their shifts. The problem with locally-grown labor, the Great Recession not withstanding, is that few want to spend eight hours standing in a milking parlor or riding on a skid steer pushing manure.
As the industry works its way through the current price crisis (and if you read the first part of Dunn's report, things are improving), we need to keep the above points in mind:
Per cow productivity will continue to improve. Restricting imports creates more problems than it solves. And participation in the global economy is essential to the future vitality of the industry.

Economic Instability and Its Impact on Decision Making In Health Care
With the recession affecting everyone's wallets, many people are forgoing some basic needs and rethinking their priorities. Instead of opting for expensive, aggressive therapies, for example, some cancer patients are deciding against lifesaving treatment. This shift in thinking is sure to have a significant effect on physicians, insurance companies, employers, and the patients themselves.

Nothing wrong with O Canada, but I like my seats!
It's tough for a 3D show to seem original after over a decade of operation (see: Honey, I Shrunk the Audience), and yet I always make a stop at this attraction in the afternoon on an AK visit. The queue is beautiful, the theater is comfortable, the effects are terrific, the gags are hilarious, and the experience is rejuvenating. I always leave this attraction beaming, and everyone I experience with loves it, too.

Steep for 5 minutes, 208°F
For stronger flavor, steep longer.
For loose leaf herbal iced teas, use 3 tsp per 8oz glass and double the steep time.
Herbal teas, technically speaking, are not true teas as they are not a product of the Camellia sinensis plant. They are properly referred to as "tisanes" or infusions, crafted from dried herbs, flowers, leaves, roots, seeds and fruit. Like tea, herbal infusions have been consumed for centuries as healing tonics to lift the spirit and enhance well-being. Our Herbal blends are hand crafted with artisan care and a vast knowledge of how theantioxidant properties and therapeutic applications ofpure, fresh herbs, flowers, and botanicals, deliver delicious healthful infusions that can delight both mind and body.

Beautiful Mixture
The blends of this tea are superb-it's also VERY hard to find. This is my end of the day, need a relaxation break, 15 minute vacation in a cup! Love this tea! Plus the tea bags are just so adorable!
11/16/13 | Renee, Plainfield, IN
this is one of the first herb teas that I have tried fro TEA FORTE .... and I love it. It really is a calming tea. !!
The caffeine level in a cup of tea can vary by tea type, steeping practices and even the particular tea harvest. We use the following designations as guidelines for the caffeine levels of our teas:
Tea/herbal blends with less than 30mg
Decaf tea retains a tiny amount of caffeine
Herbal teas are 100% caffeine free
Lower caffeine teas with shorter steeping times; 30-50mg
Robust, high caffeine teas; 50-100mg
Robust, high caffeine teas; 50-100mg
Lower caffeine teas with shorter steeping times; 30-50mg
These steeping guidelines produce the best results for our palates. Use them as a guideline, but you may certainly experiment and find the best results for yours.
