Even though my two girls and I are certainly a family, there is a lingering part of my psyche that feels like I am missing a leg.
The Stones Paid for My School Clothes
Over the past ten years, I have methodically purchased cobblestones to sweetly line the flower beds around my home. Now a decade later, these stones are needed to line something else ... my wallet.

We saw Postcard last Saturday night, the 30th,and really enjoyed it. But, I don't know why.
Meh. I've performed Argento song cycles & liked them very much, but this is an opera in search of a style and maybe in search of a plot. I feel like there was a real bait & switch with advertising A Midsummer Night's Dream and then changing operas after we'd already paid for our season tickets.
Thought-provoking and emotionally intense.
My husband and I attended "Postcard" on Thursday night. Have never been to an opera at the Newmark Theatre before -- wonderful, intimate venue--felt much more connection to the performance. We had never seen Postcard before, or much contemporary opera, but we loved it. We were so impressed by the vocal performances; the musical intervals required of the singers demonstrated an incredible level of skill and talent. The scaled-down orchestra was exactly the right accompaniment to the singers. The emotional power of the "story" --our interpretation centered on personal vulnerability and "baggage"--was well conveyed and thought-provoking. We talked about it for the rest of the evening.
While I don't know that I would ever desire a steady stream of contemporary opera, I liked experiencing something that was new, very different, and took us out of our traditional expectations and comfort zone. This one-act, 90-minute opera was perfect. It made me feel a little more intellectually and emotionally charged after experiencing it. Well done Portland Opera!
Sad. Expensive. Poor. Waste of my time & money.
I wish I had been contacted by the sales group AFTER I had seen this pathetic & weird 'performance'; my choice for next year may have been different.
If I had wanted to see schlock like this, I'd ask for Philip Bailey back and more operas from Philip Glass.
This show is a travesty.
I am HIGHLY disappointed, and so were my surrounding neighbors.

Axiomatically, the decision to educate away from pernicious cities meant housing
and feeding students as well as instructing and exhorting them. Almost the first
thing the trustees did, in April of 1830, was to begin acquiring real estate and
planning buildings. On June 10, 1830, the trustees closed on three parcels of property
amounting to just under 241 acres. No price is given for one plot of 50 acres, but
the others sold for $5 and $6 an acre. In October, the board purchased an additional
24 acres for $2 each. From time to time, other plots would be acquired, some of
them rather curious. In 1836, John and Elizabeth Early, he being president of the
board, sold to the school 21 acres with a house for $2,500. In 1862, William Smith
parted with 27 acres for $1,314.08, about $49.00 an acre. Land at these prices was
a bargain-indeed one of the inducements to settle the school in Mecklenburg. In
1833, Hampden-Sydney paid $10.00 to $22.50 per acre in Prince Edward County. Ultimately,
Randolph-Macon would acquire over 400 acres of land.
So large an amount of land purchased is in part explained by the desire to have
adequate wood for fuel: each boy, for example was expected to use two cords annually.
A student body of say, 100, would mean that 200 cords of wood were concerned annually
(not to mention the amount used for cooking for the students and the amount used
by faculty for their own families, and servants' needs).

Unintended Benefits of Obamacare
According to various talk show hosts and columnists, one of the many consequences of the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a Obamacare, is more Americans will be working part time and less will have full-time employment opportunities. It turns out that under the Affordable Care Act, employers won't have to pay employee's healthcare benefits unless they're full-time employees. So, why not have fewer full-time employees if you're a business man partial to profit?
This- working less- is, apparently, a bad thing.
While I agree many of the conventional reasons that say Obamacare is going to ruin healthcare and possibly America as a whole, are probably valid, I'm not entirely sure working less should be included in this category. As far as I know, there are no studies that say working more is good for you. In fact, every case study I've heard and read about concludes just the opposite. The happiest and least stressed people are usually those who have a balanced work and leisure schedule.
The typical workweek for Average Joe is a forty-hour one. Joe usually wakes up around six-thirty, puts on a pot of coffee, showers and brushes his teeth, gets dressed, pours the freshly-brewed coffee into a thermos, grabs a pop tart, and heads out the door. Once Joe is on the road, he sits in traffic for- if it's a good morning- half an hour. At work, Joe spends the majority of eight hours either staring at a computer screen, or lifting and wielding heavy objects against stationed structures (this Joe probably takes his shower after work). He's usually "encouraged" to meet a quota and watched like a hawk in case he attempts to get away with getting paid for that minute he spent picking his nose. At around five o'clock, Joe gets back in his vehicle and begins his journey back home, but not before- if he should be so lucky- he sits through another half-hour of traffic. Once Joe is home, he plops his tired mind and body in his Lazy-boy and stares at a different kind of screen until- if he's lucky- his wife has dinner ready. After dinner, Joe watches the news until he goes to sleep.
Tomorrow he will do it all over again.
The typical week I described is one of the better ones. Some Joes work weekends. Others work twelve-hour shifts, or fifty-hour weeks. A lot of average Joes would love to spend only a one hour a day in traffic. Some Joes don't have a wife who can cook dinner because she too works most of the day. This Joe's family is the one you see having dinner at Burger King.
Let's think about what you can do with an extra day. You can spend more time with your family. You can pry into the kids' personal lives and maybe even attend some of their practices. You can visit the grandchildren more often. You can actually catch up with your spouse. Or you can go fishing or jogging. If you've always had artistic ambitions, you can use your extra time to paint. Or you can make arts and crafts (which can possibly bring in some extra income) if that's more your bag. Maybe you're the type to volunteer at church. Or maybe you always wanted to be part of a book club, or the community political group. Or perhaps an extra day off is precisely what you need to pursue that dream you haven't been able to shake. Or… you can rest.(There's a novel idea.)
There's an array of activities and interests one can partake in had he more time. This can hardly be argued.
According to Forbes, seventy percent of Americans hate their jobs. Aside from transitioning into a job he may like, the next best thing the average American can do is work the job he hates a little less. I can hear the voices of incredulous objection: Are you nuts?! We have mortgages to pay, kids to feed, car payments to make, gadgets to buy, and wardrobes to upgrade. We can't do that on a part-time paycheck!
Let's slow down a bit.
Most of us work so much because we have the brain disease indicative of a thought-pattern which suggests we can't have a good life unless we're always spending money. So, we became used to a life where we constantly spend money. I also think we buy a lot of stuff to make up for how miserable we are while earning the money it took to purchase said stuff. New things make us feel warm and fuzzy inside, convinces us that everything is going to be alright. But the feeling of newness wears off. So we buy more stuff. It's an endless cycle.
This rant isn't against capitalism. It's against the aforementioned brain disease. Capitalism has proved itself repeatedly while every other system has failed. But when a society has more than any other two combined, yet it is drowning in anti-depressive pills, we must logically conclude that something is wrong.
So, what adjustments can we make?
We need to reload the American dream. The original settlers came here to earn a living and be free while doing so. I doubt their intentions were to become slaves to crappy jobs and fancy, ever-changing gadgets. Yes, I realize quality of life has increased greatly with the Industrial Revolution. No one is suggesting we regress. In fact, I'm suggesting quite the opposite.
We can retain our iPhones (although it wouldn't hurt to skip a generation) and our air conditioned homes without being a slave to our jobs. I'm not suggesting overnight transformation. It's more a matter of certain adjustments as we transition from a life cluttered with crap and into one filled with joy and, possibly, purpose.
The first and most important step towards this transition is to get out of debt as soon as possible. The more debt you have, the more likely you are to be a slave to an employer or your business. Debt also makes one desperate. A desperate state is one likely to foster illogical decision-making, decisions which usually perpetuate the cycle of debt. There are approximately one million articles on getting out of debt. Start researching if you don't know where to start.
Consider this particular speculative aspect of Obamacare a blessing. If anything, let's use the "extra" time off to get involved in the political process we were too busy to be a part of in the first place (maybe the reason Democrats have won again is because they stay home and make calls and such, while conservatives are working).

Station de ski Schmitten - Zell am See
Nouveauté Schmitten - Zell am See
Enjoy skiing and sunshine on long runs and relaxing on lovely sun terraces.
The first ascent with modern cable car facilities – including the stylish Schmittenhöhe cable car from the Por-sche Design Studio – is the beginning of your winter adventure. The Schmittenhöhe cable car began operation in 1927 and was the first cable car to transport guests in Land Salzburg. A lot has happened since then: now there are 26 cable car facilities bringing winter athletes up to an altitude of 2000m and 77 beautifully groomed piste kilometers. Guests are also enticed by the inviting sun terraces of many huts and their superb culinary delights.
New Glockner lift
The Schmitten is tireless and nearly every year there is a new attraction for its guests. Also this winter; the new 8-seater Glocknerbahn chair lift, the third child-safe chair lift on the mountain, goes into operation. The safety bar locks and is ideal for transporting children. It is possible to transport seven children accompanied by one adult. The lift is equipped with heated, cushioned seats and weather hoods as well as an height-adjustable access magic carpet, which is innovative and child-friendly. A photoelectric barrier recognizes the height of the skier and can raise the magic carpet as much as 10cm.
Funslope XXL
Another highlight, on the sunny side of the Schmitten, in the 2013/14 winter season: the Funslope next to the Hochmais lift on the Sonnenalm – with guaranteed fun elements such as the Schnecken (snail), Tunnel or Steilkurven (steep curves). With an unbelievable length of 1.300m the Schmitten Funslope is the longest Funslope in the world and guarantees burning thighs by the end of the course!
The Snowpark area is right next to the Funslope. It makes the first step into the freestyle world easier, with its butter boxes, wave boxes and kickers. However, it is not only for beginners, advanced freestylers can also find it demanding.
Everyone is a movie star
Feel like a star on the slopes with a ski movie. Tomorrow´s film stars can shoot an action-packed ski movie here. There is also the skiline-piste kilometer for those who want to know how many kilometers they have skiied/boarded on the Schmitten in one day. Both the ski movie and the piste kilometer can be downloaded under www.schmitten.at and sent to those at home.
The GoPro HD Action Camera is a "must" for guests on the Schmitten slopes and can be borrowed free of charge from the InfoCenter, to shoot one´s own ski day film.
Station de ski Schmitten - Zell am See
- A new ski route and 5 new works of art in the piste gallery
- Plus: snow guaranteed on 90% of slopes!
Art is playing a starring role on the Schmittenhöhe this winter. 5 new works of art will be gracing one of Europe's largest open-air artistic spaces. The year-round exhibition of oversized wooden sculptures is spread across the entire ski area and the piste network, and is a hot topic of conversation for locals and international guests alike. Visitors can look forward to a new project entitled "Snow Art", which will be opening in mid-January 2007. After the enormous Mozart birthday cake was unveiled last year, the artists' snowy plans for this year are being kept strictly under wraps.
Valley descents of 1,000 m with guaranteed snow (90% of slopes are suitable for artificial snow), winter hiking trails at 2,000 m, the slopes gallery, cosy mountain huts and modern restaurants, half-pipes, a permanent timed route and carving routes are just some of the many things on offer.
It's also possible to carve in the morning and board in the afternoon, renting the required equipment directly on the slopes.
Guests can also use the Ski Alpin Card (the season ticket for the European sporting region of Zell am See-Kaprun and the Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang ski circus).

The bottle bill will not make it to the governor's desk this year.
The controversial proposal was included as an amendment to the Senate jobs bill but scrapped Monday in conference committee, according to an aide to its sponsor, Sen. Robert Hedlund (R-Weymouth). The jobs bill is expected to be laid before Gov. Deval Patrick Tuesday, the last day of the legislative session.
The amendment had faced strong opposition in the House, with Speaker Robert DeLeo describing it as a tax. Hedlund disputed this view, saying that taxes can't be redeemed.
The expansion to the 31-year-old law designed to promote recycling and reduce litter would have added plastic bottles used for water, juices, iced tea and sports drinks to the list of containers subject to the 5-cent bottle deposit. Under the law, these types of containers carry a 5-cent redeemable deposit that can be collected when they are returned to the store or a redemption center.
Opponents said the bill would have increased costs for businesses and consumers. Supporters, including environmental groups, said it would have encouraged more recycling.
The governor has said that the state could collect up to $58 million a year on unredeemed bottles, and that the program cuts the cost to city of recycling the bottles.
Supporters of expanding the bottle bill have pushed the issue for more than a decade, according to a brief history from the Massachusetts Coalition to Update the Bottle Bill.
Opponent Chris Flynn of the Massachusetts Food Association argued in a recent Globe editorial that the bill is anti-business and "anti-Massachusetts."

Eight year old Saniyah Lovett looks like any other girl her age she's playful, full of life, and a bright smile. But hidden behind that smile inside Saniyah's little body is an illness that leaves her in pain nearly every day.
But, she refuses to let it be her handicap.
"I mean, I know I'm sick, but I don't feel sick," said Saniyah.
Saniyah was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome when she was 4-years-old. According to her doctor, it causes her kidney filters, which are too big, to release protein into her urine.
"It causes swelling around her eyes, her belly, the legs, pain, and fever," said Lashon Lovett, Saniyah's mother. "She really can't do nothing that normal kids can do around her age."
But, it's not stopping her from enjoying her life, and living like a normal kids as best she can.
"She's handling it wonderfully," said Lashon. "She has her days when she's just like I don't want to do this anymore, but I explain to her we can never give up. As long as she keeps her spirit, we will make it through this."
But, it's hard for her to keep her spirits up when she continues to get let down. Saniyah has been on the list for a kidney transplant for the past three years. She was supposed to get on last year, but the donor backed out, and this time, her donor became pregnant. Now Saniyah has to wait, again.
But, with her family by her side, and her faith in God on her side, she believes she will finally get a kidney.
She said, when she does, the first thing she's going to do is, "eat pizza with extra cheese on it."

Two Greedy Italians, Series 1 Episode 3 of 4
Duration: 59 minutes
Internationally renowned chefs and old friends Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo return to the Italy they left more than 40 years ago, to discover what has changed in Italian culture and how that has affected the way Italians eat.
When Antonio and Gennaro were boys, every Italian thought that the food from their own region was the best. In this episode they set out to discover if regional pride is still as strong today.
Antonio returns to his home town of Borgo Franco to devour the truffles, cheeses and game of the Piemonte region in the far north-west of the country. From the moment they arrive, it's a battle between north and south, with Gennaro reluctantly admitting that the local food has some merits despite its lack of vegetables.
The pair join in the celebratory feasts of the Asti palio, a famous horse race celebrating an ancient battle between regions. The local fans are passionate about their riders and the pair nearly come to blows when they support opposing teams.
They discover that there are changes afoot in Italy, however. The recent waves of immigration have brought strange, new ingredients to the Turin vegetable market and foreign food producers are being restricted by tough rules from nationalistic politicians. The question is, will Antonio and Gennaro embrace the new influences on their beloved Italian cuisine? Or are the Two Greedy Italians traditionalists at heart?
Antonio cooks a traditional dish of pasta ribbons with chicken liver sauce, and a German-influenced apple strudel which brings back memories. Gennaro gets creative with pork fillet with honey and ginger.

MILAN, May 27, 2012 - Ryder Hesjedal [30] created cycling history in Italy on Sunday, the Garmin-Barracuda [2] rider became the first Canadian to win the Giro d'Italia.
The 31-year-old landed the first of the season's big three Grand Tours after prying the leader's pink jersey from Spain's Joaquim Rodriguez at the end of this closing 28.2 kilometer time trial.
Hesjedal, bagging a first major Tour for his country, set out on the race against the clock ready to erase his 31-second deficit to Rodriguez after two stamina-sapping days in the Alps.
Favored by the final day's format, he crossed the line after three weeks gruelling racing 16 seconds clear of Rodriguez, with Belgian Thomas De Gendt, who put up a superb solo effort to claim Saturday's penultimate stage, in third at 1:39.
Hesjedal, shedding a few tears on the podium, said, "For me this is an incredible experience, the joy is overpowering.
"I began to believe I could do it as the days went by when I saw that my legs were holding up well in the mountains.
"Even in my head I was calm and I remained serene.I saw that my rivals were beginning to respect me more and more—and in the end, I did it."
He added, "This is the reward of a life of working, over the years, to achieve such a lofty objective. And it's for that reason that I am so deeply happy."
Asked what ambitions he now entertained for the Tour de France he said, "I'll think about that in a few days time, For now I want to savour this amazing moment."
His historic feat was applauded by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper who in a statement said, "On behalf of all Canadians, I would like to congratulate Ryder Hesjedal for his amazing victory in the Giro d'Italia....
"We thank Mr. Hesjedal for this defining moment in Canadian sport and wish him well in his upcoming races, including this year's Tour de France."
Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong also paid the winner tribute. In a tweet, the American wrote, "Congratulations to Ryder Hesjedal on his incredible victory in the Giro. Gotta love it when the best man wins."
For the first time since 1995 no Italian made the podium, with the highest placed local rider being last year's winner Michele Scarponi in fourth at 2:05. Ivan Basso came in fifth at 3:44.
The closing 21st stage in Milan was won by Italian Marco Pinotti ahead of Geraint Thomas and Jesse Sergent, with Hesjedal assuring ultimate victory in sixth.
Rodriguez, who had said he was going to need a miracle to deny Hesjedal in the time trial, came in 1:56 down on Pinotti.
Rodriguez, 33, and who came the closest he has ever come to winning a Grand Tour, said he had done "everything possible" to try and hold on to his lead till the end of the time trial finale.
"Up to the last bend I told myself anything could happen. I took every risk possible. I gave it my all. It was only at the finish that I knew I'd lost the Giro, and that makes it even harder."

It's strange, though -- especially considering how Rush always claimed he was using "talent on loan from God"...

Sort of off-topic but not really, did anyone see the episode of Politically Correct with deaf actress Marlee Matlin?She and full-time interpreter<slash>manager Jack Jason were also on Craig Kilborn. She complained that Jack isn't married. Of course not! He's a big fairy.
Interesting how the deaf lifestyle is getting more focus these days, eh?The deaf lifestyle? Is that like the gay lifestyle?
Almost every halfway-technical term had to be spelled out, and it took forever to exchange just a few lines of conversation. They would have wasted far less of everyone's time (theirs included) if they would have just mailed an order in.No, the correct course of action is for the call centre to install TTY lines and type back and forth directly.

Do We Need More Physicians or Efficient Health Care?
In the 1990s, workforce analysts were predicting a physician surplus. Today, the pendulum has swung in the other direction, with the AAMC calling for a 30 percent increase in medical student enrollment.
Baby-boomer physicians are nearing retirement at the same time the patient population is growing, aging, and demanding more specialized services, asserts Edward Salsberg of the AAMC Center for Workforce Studies. In addition, many young physicians are choosing to work fewer hours -- especially true of the growing number of women in medicine.
Nonetheless, some still question the need for a dramatic increase. "There's a lot of shroud waving and fear mongering that's not based on evidence and will lead us on a costly expansion," said David C. Goodman, MD, of Dartmouth Medical ("A Growth Spurt for MedicalSchools," Chronicle of Higher Education, Jan. 12). "Rather than spending more resources on training more physicians, we should be focusing on building more efficient delivery systems."
Added author Daniel S. Greenberg, a self-professed "longtime skeptic of the need for more physicians," much of the need can be met by expanding the pool of advanced health care workers, like physician assistants or nurse practitioners. "We don't need to have people trained as brain surgeons taking splinters out of people's feet," he told the Chronicle.
Even so, the nonphysician pool needs to grow significantly. A recent roundtable discussion hosted by the Association of Academic Health Centers found that workforce shortages are a key challenge across all health professions, not just medicine.
In the February issue of the GME e-Letter, we asked for feedback on this issue. Below are the responses we received from readers, with identifying information removed.
Do you have any answer to why so often the "experts" are dead wrong? I think it is because they want to be known and make an impact so they say things that are interesting and attention-getting with little veracity or data to back up their positions. Look at all the experts that advised consolidation of medical centers like UCSF and Stanford. This trend is now over because virtually every merger attempt was a disaster.
Remember the days when the experts said we need to generate more doctors so there would be more competition and lower costs? They gave medical schools additional funds to take more medical students. What happened? We generated many more doctors, but this just caused more money consumed by health care in our society rather than driving down costs.
I guess the other question is why do we (ie, leaders in academic medicine) ever listen to these so-called experts when they prove to be dead wrong so often. Consider the ACGME's six general competencies. These were instituted at huge expense to all programs without one shred of evidence that they would turn out a better product. As far as I can tell, these six competencies simply came out of the head of David Leach, sort as if he were a religious prophet who had the word of God come to him from on high.
I could make the same point about a lot of other regulatory bodies. So often they generate a regulation or mandatory requirement that is expensive without data to show that they will be helpful. How about a small local pilot project first to show that these things make a positive difference? Why does organized medicine go out of its way to shoot itself in the foot and add extra costs that in the end serve to jack up the cost of medical care to the public?
I see no shortage if physicians were freed from the bureaucratic morass that "providers" have put us in, whose only purpose is to curtail the delivery of care for their own financial gain. Health care is not a commodity. If we treat it as such, it'll go the way our inner-city educational system has gone.
Clearly we need more health care providers to address patients' growing needs however, the key word is "providers." Efficient and effective treatment for basic health care issues can be provided by nonphysicians, such as advanced nurse practicioners or physician assistants. Importing physicians from other countries or training more physicians is not necessary when there are many US citizens who could fill our health care needs. I agree with Daniel S. Greenberg.
Kaiser, VA, and other large health systems use the "provider" model of care. Clearly, it works. We should train more nonphysicians as this would take less training time and dollars.
I cannot give you numbers and statistics to support my thoughts, but I can offer years of experience in private practice, public health settings, medical administration, and academic work. And based on that, I feel just the opposite of Daniel Greenberg--I am more concerned about those trained to take out splinters being pressed into brain surgery.
This is obviously an exaggeration, just as his comment is, but I have seen good, nonphysician clinicians get pushed into doing more than their comfort zone allows, and since they are helpful people by nature, they try to do what they're asked. It can end in poor care at best, and at worst, dangerous care.
The medical delivery system of today seems more impressed by how much money rather than how many lives it can save. I have worked with many excellent physician assistants and advanced practice nurses in my 30+ years of practice, but they and I always felt better that I was around to advise and assist when needed.
All professions that require time to train go through cycles in their available numbers--it has happened with teachers and nurses, and there is no reason to suppose that the physician supply would be immune to such cycles. It is clear that we need more physician availability in small, rural communities, and that is a matter of distribution rather than simply supply. But the only ways to accomplish a redistribution within our freedom-loving, capitalistic system are incentives to locate in such areas or market forces driven by additional numbers.
I agree with your points--governors need to be educated about the economic impact of physician shortages; GME needs more support if the educational system as a whole is to continue to turn out physicians in any numbers who are well trained, let alone in larger numbers; and medical education centers need more faculty members to accomplish their missions of education, research, and clinical service.
Replacing physicians with nurse practitioners and physician assistants is one approach to addressing the shortage of physicians, but begs the question of what type of health care system we want.
With regard to Daniel Greenberg's profession of higher education, I am sure we could replace most college professors with lower-cost graduate students if we wanted to, but I doubt he would argue that that would improve the quality of a college education.
Replacing more highly educated professionals with paraprofessionals is not a formula for quality and rarely reduces actual costs. Experience shows that we just end up with another layer of expense and complexity.
In our 2001 paper on "Medical Care as a Commons"* we took issue with Uwe Reinhardt's assertions regarding the surplus of physicians. I had taken the position that the mismatch between advanced training versus service needs required primary attention. There is already widespread use of physician assistants and nurse practitioners, and that contribution to health care delivery will continue to grow. But I don't see evidence for a physician surplus now any more than 10 years ago, and in any event physician supply should at least track (more or less) the growth in the US population.
Our analysis focused on the different controls that patients, physicians, employers, insurers, and government exerted on the availability and payment for medical services. I don't think that supply can be separated from quality, and we advocated developing surrogate measures of quality such as time with patients and wait time. Since time with patients is a function of compensation schemes, this too must enter into national planning for physician training both at the undergraduate and specialization level. I see a danger in developing a national agenda that may look simplistically at supply and demand, without being able to address quality.
*Michael Gochfeld, Joanna Burger and Bernard Goldstein
Medical Care as a Commons, pp. 253-272 in "Protecting the Commons" (Island Press, Washington DC; 2001)
Always neglected in such discussions is the issue of the number of international medical graduates (IMGs) practicing in the US.
A principal reason that one may argue we have a sufficient number of physicians is because more than half of all physicians licensed in this country are educated in foreign countries. Whole regions of the US have a majority of physicians in practice who are not graduates of US medical schools (eg, the central valley/Fresno area of California.
Does the US want to deprive so many of its citizens the opportunity to go to medical school in order to provide medical positions for graduates from foreign countries that often that place no limits, as the US does, on the number of medical school positions? Admission to a US medical school is a very rigorous process. Not only does this severely limit the number of US-educated physicians practicing in the US, but may also (as an unintended consequence) narrow the pool of applicants, which in turn may be adversely affecting the quality and character of the graduates.
Becoming a medical doctor remains a highly respected occupation in the US. Do we wish to continue to deny so many US citizens the opportunity to become medical doctors, thereby creating a large need filled by IMGs?
The time has come to address the most important implication of the ever-increasing numbers of IMGs providing care in this country. The problem is not the IMGs themselves. It is denying US citizens the opportunity to compete for these highly valued positions in our society.
Let the competition begin.
Although I agree that more PAs and NPs will meet many health care needs, Mr. Greenberg should not exaggerate his point, as it makes his argument less valid. "Neurosurgeons have no interest in removing splinters from anywhere except the central/peripheral nervous system."

It has to be hard being Kailyn Lowry. Every time the Teen Mom 2 star turns around, someone else is talking smack about her. You could call it the price of fame, but when the smack talk comes from her own co-stars, you can't blame Kail for fighting back.
And boy did she ever. The topic? Kail's supposed pregnancy.
The culprits? 16 & Pregnant star Ashley Salazar and Teen Mom 2 co-star Jenelle Evans.
Both make money by posting to news site Sulia. Both have posted lately about Kailyn supposedly having a bun in the oven, a fact she has NOT confirmed by Kail or husband Javi Marroquin. And both have royally pissed her off. As she said on Twitter this week (before removing her vent from the Internet):
The next teen mom/16 & pregnant girl to post a Sulia link about me is getting blocked.
Bam! You tell 'em girl!
Some have criticized Kailyn for being egotistical in thinking that she can control what her fellow MTV stars say on the Internet.
I can't help but disagree. If she can't get some back-up from her own co-stars, who can she trust? Aren't these girls supposed to be her friends? Shouldn't they have her back?
More From The Stir: 'Teen Mom' Star's Photo of Topless 3-Year-Old Daughter Causes Uproar
Evans in particular comes off as a hypocrite with her insistence on posting unsubstantiated rumors about her supposed friend. In the past, she's made clear that she has trouble with what's written about her on the Internet, telling The Stir that she takes "cyberbullying" seriously. And this is hardly the first time she's been warned by Kailyn to keep her life off Sulia.
Kailyn deserves a little more respect from her friends, especially on issues as personal as what's inside (or not inside) her uterus!
Do you think Kailyn has the right to take these girls to task?
Image by Jeanne Sager
I want to root for Kail, but she doesn't make it easy. Hopefully, she will mature in time.
Hell yes she has every right! Especially when Jenelle is one of the girls talking?! Like that girl has ANY room to throw a stone at someone else!! Girl needs to put her damn phone down and look at her own life. Kailyn isn't one of my top faves, but she's getting there. She's one that is getting her life together, and I give her credit for getting where she is on her own. No I don't agree that getting pregnant at 16 was her best decision, but she's one of the better moms on the show, and it looks like Issac always comes first. And as for the other girl talkin smack, I'm sorry, who is she again?? Exactly. Shut it
Kailyn you have been the most mature one on the show ppl putting you down is getting on my nerves .. Kail has been on her own she hasnt had a family to run to and fix things for her she did them on her own and she did a darn good job too ... I find she has a very good head on her shoulders and tries to fiqure out the best decisions for her and her child she has not been selfish ... Keep doing what your during Kailyn good job I pray the best for you and your lil family :)
Kailyn has the right to fight back...Mostly to Jenelle. I know what I'm about to say is cruel, but I cannot keep it to myself....Jenelle is not a 'good' mother and I think her mom should raise Jace until Jenelle can get her shit together. But my point is that Kailyn is a good mother and Jenelle needs to shut the hell up and get her life together. At least Kailyn isn't going from man to man and going back and forth. Jenelle is a bitch and she needs to shut up about Kailyn's pregrancy because at least Kailyn is a good mother and can take care of baby number 2 way better than that bitch Jenelle.

this is in the top two
this is in the top two results for dermal denticles. I need scientific info please.
Great White Sharks are stealthy hunters and the secret is in their skin. Shark skin is covered by tiny flat V-shaped scales, called dermal denticles, that are more like teeth than fish scales. These denticles decrease drag and turbulence, allowing the shark to swim faster and more quietly. Olympian swimsuit designers have taken a page from the shark's playbook and created a fabric that mimics the exact proportion of the shark's denticles, hugely improving a swimmer's speed. More about the great white shark can be found in our great white shark featured story.
this is in the top two results for dermal denticles. I need scientific info please.
cool cool
This did not help me at all
so cool!!!!!!!!
so cool
sharks are so intresting
They should use use the texture for subs, so subs can scour the seas easier. If it works on scuba divers, then they should put it on subs. It might then be easier to steer subs.
the color of a great white sharks skin is grey.......
Wow I never knew that. Now I really want to be a shark so I can swim fast!!! :P
Sharks are cool
this is an awesome creature and such a useful site of information
Sharks are amazing they should develop something thats like a suit like flippers but makes you reall fast
<3 Sharks! So amazing creatures
I fish for sharks, but i have never ever even seen a great white
cool it was ok.I who would like this [nick]
your wierd everyone.
Sharks are scary and cool but I think you should have more to it than the great white shark and a few denticles
i luv sharks so much did u know a cookie cutter shark leaves a circle on it victim witch attracts bigger sharks to eat it or it will lose all its blood die and rot

This is my second box of 1000 rounds and I had no problems with the first box. Nice shooting ammo.
I haven't shot with these rounds but if there anything like the .45ACP from Fiocchi that I have been shooting then I shouldn't have any problems.
Just put 300 rounds through my CZ P-07 and did not have one FTF or FTE, very good accurate ammo, will definitely buy Fiocchi again.
great ammo for target shooting ,good price and reliable . pluse its good brass to reload.
We shoot at the gun range all the time, and have used a few different brands. I never thought a few grains made such a difference. The hole in the paper is considerably larger than others, even though it's only a 9mm. We'll enjoy the whole case, and buy more next time.
very good ammo.

Evie finally has the normal life she's always longed for, but she's shocked to discover that being ordinary can be . . . kind of boring. So when she's given the opportunity to work for the International Paranormal Containment Agency again, she leaps at the chance.
But then Evie's faerie ex-boyfriend Reth appears, and tells her that a battle is brewing between the faerie courts that could throw the whole paranormal world into chaos. The prize in question? Evie herself.
But as one disastrous mission leads to another, Evie starts to wonder if she made the right choice. And when Evie's faerie ex-boyfriend Reth appears with devastating revelations about her past, she discovers that there's a battle brewing between the faerie courts that could throw the whole supernatural world into chaos. The prize in question? Evie herself.The Supernaturally Playlist
In this Amazon exclusive playlist, author Kiersten White shares the tunes that best sum up her new novel, Supernaturally.
"Missing" by Flyleaf
I imagine this song playing for Evie when she's feeling most down, worrying that whatever is missing inside of her will never be fixed.
"Oh, It Is Love" by Hellogoodbye
This sweet, happy love song has always been Evie and Lend's song for me. When it comes to relationships, they both have this type of hopeful innocence.
"All I Wanted" by Paramore
Another song for Evie when she is feeling like everything is lost.
"Misguided Ghosts" by Paramore
A song about trying to find a place in a world you don't feel like you're really living in.
"Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri
I've heard from many people (and agree) that this is a great song for Evie and Reth's past.
"The Drumming Song" by Florence + the Machine
The intensity and focused passion of this song makes me think of my darling Jack, along with the references to heaven and hell, a favorite theme of his.
"Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse
This is one of my favorite "Reth" songs, though he'd never bother listening to human music…
"I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab for Cutie
Another song for Reth and Evie's relationship, evoking his feelings of inevitability when it comes to being with Evie.
"I Will Follow You into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie
This song lends itself well to musings on the realities of a mortal/immortal relationship. If you're prone to musing about such things, which I am.
"Engines" by Snow Patrol
"I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin." Another love song for Evie and Lend.
"Give Me Strength" by Snow Patrol
A song for all of the people in Evie's life she realizes are her family.
"Give Me Strength" by Ingrid Michaelson
A very sad, sweet, aching song about trying to find your home.
"Firelight" by Snow Patrol
A song for dear, comatose Vivian.

Defibrillators give a shock to the heart (and you're to blame) in order to get it beating again. Defibrillators have been shown in movies and television and people often associate the word Defibrillator with a paramedic using two big paddles to shock the life back into somebody.
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) uses the same concept, but is fundamentally different. Instead of using big paddles to deliver the shock, the user would place two electrode pads on the patient's chest. The Automated External Defibrillator will then read the patient's heart rate and make the decision as to whether or not a shock is needed. Some models will provide the shock automatically after giving a warning of the impending shock, while other models will require the operator to press a button to deliver the shock. It is possible that the first shock will not bring the heart rate back to a ready rhythm. If this happens, a second or third shock may be necessary in order to get ready heart rhythm. If the patient still does not respond by the third shock, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be used until medical professional arrive. Prior to using an Automated External Defibrillator, emergency medical professionals should be called (typically 9-1-1). The Automated External Defibrillator is meant to give the patient the best chance of surviving a heart attack or other such conditions which slow or stop the heart.
The manual defibrillators (the ones with the large paddles) require training and are only used by trained medical professionals. The Automated External Defibrillator is meant to be used by anybody with a minimal amount of coaching/training. They are located in large public places, such as malls, airports, stadiums, etc. Automated External Defibrillator often will use audible or visual cues to instruct the operator how to use it.
HeartStart offers a Defibrillator Trainer Cartridge that works with the live Onsite or Home AED. They offer two separate training cartridges: one for adults and one for children. Each module has a guide to show proper pad placement and how to use an Automated External Defibrillator. The HeartStart Trainer Cartridges also comes with one set of self adhesive pads. The Children's HeartStart is meant for children 8 years and younger or weighing under 55 pounds. This also means that is the patient is over 8 years old or weighing more than 55 pounds, that the Adult HeartStart would be the appropriate product.
The Adult HeartStart Trainer Cartridge instructs the operator how to use two pads on the chest to administer the shock. The children's HeartStart Trainer Cartridge instructs the operator to adhere one pad on the chest of the child and one on the back.
As a recap, defibrillators are helpful when a patient has suffered a loss or slowing of their heart rate. However, the effectiveness diminishes over time. That is why defibrillators are often used in conjunction with CPR.

He said he'd be back, and now that Governor Schwarzenegger has hung up his politics hat, he's seriously considering how he's going to return to the movies.
During an interview given at the Arnold Seminar yesterday (yes, such a wondrous thing exists), the Austrian Oak revealed that he's currently considering around 15 film offers, which include returns to his most famous franchises.
"Well, first of all it's more 15 films," he reveals, "obvious ones from The Terminator to remakes of Predator and The Running Man and all of those things."
Arnie then went on to state that he's also considering "a lot of original stuff" as well, though he's currently working on bringing a comic book character to the screen.
"I am also packaging a comic book character right now," he says. "I'm going to announce that sometime by the end of March or the beginning of April."
Just which comic character that will be remains to be seen, but it's certainly an exciting prospect. Arnie, it's good to have you back.

Glad that Arnie's heading back to a cinema near you? Or think it's time for retirement? Tell us below...

Throughout the course of the evening, selfies were taken, judges Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban did amazing impersonations of each other, and Malaya got her first bouquet of flowers (aww) from Ryan Seacrest and the Idol crew. But let's get to the performances:

For most, the Bill Brasky sketch on the Paul Rudd-fronted SaturdayNight Live was a highlight — but not Tim Meadows.
The former SNL cast memeber, who had previously appeared in four Brasky sketches, took to Facebook to express his displeasure at not being invited to participate.
"I guess it just dawned on me that I mean NOTHING to them...I'm just being overly sensitive. It doesn't matter in the long run. I'm grateful for what they did for me. But everyone in a while as a fan and a alumni, it stings a little to not even be considered as someone they would like to come back around," Meadows wrote.
Host Paul Rudd and musical act One Direction weren't the only special guests on Saturday Night Live this week. Alums Fred Armisen and Kristen Wiig returned to the show, and Rudd's Anchorman 2 castmates Will Ferrell (also an SNL vet), Steve Carell and David Koechner also made cameos to sing "Afternoon Delight" with One Direction during Rudd's opening monologue. The show also didn't miss the opportunity to skewer NBC's live Sound of Music musical, which aired Thursday. Check out some of the highlights below:
Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift and Rihanna took home some of the top prizes at the American Music Awards Sunday.

Washington » The National Security Agency and the FBI monitored the content of all email and text messages in the Salt Lake City area during the time of the 2002 Winter Olympics, according to a new report.
The Wall Street Journal cited unnamed "officials," in reporting Wednesday that the NSA and FBI worked with Qwest Communications for a period of less than six months around the time of the Games to intercept communications in the region.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Key Utah officials involved with the Games said they were unaware of such a program, though they could have been left out of the loop on such a high-level secret effort.
Former Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, said he didn't know any "details" regarding that specific surveillance but noted a strong presence of intelligence officials before, during and after the Olympics.
"It would shock me if they were not" snatching up communications, Bennett said. "If they were not intercepting text messages then they were not doing their jobs at the center of world attention. Sure they were. I just assumed that they were."
The Games, which came five months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, brought a massive security presence to Utah, headquartered in a downtown Salt Lake City building. Just two floors up from that command center was a floor filled with officials from the U.S. Intelligence community and from various American allies.
What went on there, though, was a secret to even some of the top Olympic leaders.
Out of the loop » Fraser Bullock, who was the Salt Lake Organizing Committee's chief operating officer through the 2002 Winter Games, said Wednesday that he "was not aware of any electronic surveillance activities for the 2002 Olympic Games."
That said, Bullock noted that even with heightened security concerns, there were no major incidents.
Security officials "had one thing in mind — keep people safe, including the athletes, dignitaries from all over the world, the 1.8 million spectators, the volunteers and workers," Bullock said. "They not only succeeded in that objective, but they also did it in a reasonably unobtrusive manner to keep the focus on the Games."
Dave Tubbs, who retired from the FBI in 2000 to be the executive director of the state's Utah Olympic Public Safety Command, said if the NSA gathered any useful intelligence from emails and text messages, it was never shared with him. Tubbs said he was unaware of such collection programs.
"Even though I still had a top secret [clearance], I guess there was nothing I needed to know," Tubbs said.
Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank, who was the department's liaison to the Secret Service and a venue commander for Olympic Square, said a lot of intelligence was gathered to safeguard the Olympics, but federal officials never gave any indications of collecting communications.
"I sat in lots and lots of meeting and nobody ever said we're checking people's emails and here's what we found out," Burbank said.
Lane Beattie, the state's chief liaison to the Olympics, also held a security clearance during the Games but he says he never heard anything about this type of a program.
Need to know » "I never had a meeting where anyone intimated to me that they were doing this," Beattie said Wednesday. "We were in a need-to-know basis. That subject never came up."
A Cabinet-level technical adviser to then-Gov. Mike Leavitt also said he wasn't aware of the monitoring effort during the 2002 Games.
State officials were deeply involved in fortifying and securing Utah's law-enforcement communications systems in connection with the Olympics, including installation of a powerful police radio grid and maintaining a network of personal pagers for federal, state and local officers at the Games. But the feds shared nothing about a massive surveillance effort of emails and texts.
''They didn't come to us and tell us they were doing it,'' said Phil Windley, who was Utah's chief information officer for two years and a senior member of Leavitt's staff. ''It's not clear they told anybody about it. The NSA probably just did it.''Next Page >

The Buncombe County Sheriff's Office said they are seeking the public's assistance identifying a man who robbed a convenience store with a gun.
The incident happened at about 8 a.m. Tuesday at the Fastbreak II convenience store at 306 Old Leicester Hwy. in the Leicester community, according to a release from the department.
The man had a gun and took an undisclosed amount of money from the store, according to deputies.
Deputies said the woman who was working at the store threw a pot of coffee at the robber in an effort to defend herself.
The man may have been burned by the coffee and may try to hide them, deputies said.
Deputies said the robber was wearing a mask, multi-colored nylon jacket, jeans and gloves and he may have fled in a black, late 1990's Chevy Tahoe.
If you have any information regarding this incident, please contact the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office at 828-250-6670.

Chicken Salad and Havarti Cheese Wrap
Put this satisfying workweek sandwich together tonight, and roll out the door in a flash tomorrow. Havarti, a mild semisoft cheese from Denmark, makes this chicken-filled wrap super creamy. By assembling the wraps with layers of ingredients, you're guaranteed to get chicken, cheese, and spinach in every bite.

- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half (6 to 8 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1/2 shallot, minced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 2 spinach-flavored sandwich wraps (12-inch)
- 6 thin slices Havarti cheese (about 2 ounces total)
- 1 cup baby spinach, washed and dried
Step 1
In a small skillet with a lid, bring 1 inch salted water to a boil. Add chicken. Cover, and cook over medium-low heat, 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let steam, still covered, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes; remove chicken. When cool enough to handle, thinly slice crosswise.
Step 2
While chicken is cooking, stir together mayonnaise, shallot (if using), mustard, vinegar, and thyme in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add chicken, and toss to coat.
Step 3
Lay sandwich wraps on a work surface. Leaving a 1-inch border all around, layer with cheese, spinach, then chicken mixture.
Step 4
Fold in sides by about 1 inch, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Wrap each tightly in plastic or waxed paper. Refrigerate up to 1 day.

Delicious! I've made these twice and enjoyed them. Lots of flavor, and easy to take and enjoy the next day.Reply

Pretty good chicken salad wrap, Havarti adds a creaminess that provolone and cheddar do not have.
That said, the dressing for the chicken salad is very thyme-forward, I might add less thyme next time. Shallot thyme = you may need a breathmint afterward!
I would recommend pairing this wrap with a salad that has milder, fresh flavors (maybe a lemony vinaigrette?) I made the Minestrone Salad recipe to have as a side, and the balsamic was too strong and clashed with the thyme chicken.Reply
