And yours?
YoelA wrote:2009 Livni pinot noir - I see from various comments that there are quite different opinions on this wine. Following Gabriel's recommendation I decanted it an hour before dinner. Yes, it did throw some sediment but also needed some air. Drank a glass Thursday, had a small taste Friday, finished the bottle tonight (Saturday).
To me the wine was not a typical pinot noir. It has a higher alcoholic content, similar to a number of California pinots where the winery wanted the grapes picked as ripe as possible. There is a fair aount of fruit in the wine, both in the entry and in the finish (but in the finish only after being open quite a while) but the taste is not that of a typical pinot - much more concentrated black fruit than usual. and the wine is pretty astringent at this time. Doesn't seem to me to have the finesse - actual or potential - that I look for in a pinot. So far the 2008 Vitkin is still the best Israeli pinot I have drunk. Still holding onto the 2008 Ella Valley for a future occasion.

(a) In general
A group health plan and a health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage shall, at a minimum provide coverage for and shall not impose any cost sharing requirements for—
(1) evidence-based items or services that have in effect a rating of "A" or "B" in the current recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Task Force;
(2) immunizations that have in effect a recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with respect to the individual involved; and [1]
(3) with respect to infants, children, and adolescents, evidence-informed preventive care and screenings provided for in the comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration. [2]
(4) with respect to women, such additional preventive care and screenings not described in paragraph (1) as provided for in comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration for purposes of this paragraph. [2]
(5) for the purposes of this chapter, and for the purposes of any other provision of law, the current recommendations of the United States Preventive Service Task Force regarding breast cancer screening, mammography, and prevention shall be considered the most current other than those issued in or around November 2009.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit a plan or issuer from providing coverage for services in addition to those recommended by United States Preventive Services Task Force or to deny coverage for services that are not recommended by such Task Force.
(b) Interval
(1) In general
The Secretary shall establish a minimum interval between the date on which a recommendation described in subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) or a guideline under subsection (a)(3) is issued and the plan year with respect to which the requirement described in subsection (a) is effective with respect to the service described in such recommendation or guideline.
(c) Value-based insurance design
The Secretary may develop guidelines to permit a group health plan and a health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage to utilize value-based insurance designs.

Since I know that my lovely wife checks here on a regular basis, I wanted to send her a special Valentine's Day note.
I'm under the impression that everyday is a Valentine's Day when you're with someone you love and respect. I try to do little things, on a regular basis, to show my wife that I love her. That being said, today is a day to go an extra mile and show our Sig-O's that we are lucky to have this extra special day together.
Also, I know many of my friends and readers are feeling lonely today, without someone special to celebrate with. I remember, very well, how that feels. So I want to send some love out to those of you out there, as well. Take today to celebrate yourself! Celebrate the important loves in your life: your family, friends, pets, and most importantly, YOU. Don't let this holiday get you down, because no matter what, you are loved! So celebrate that love, and take some time to appreciate it. Treat yourself to something special today: a new book, some free time to enjoy a hobby, or anything else you love to do. You deserve it!
As a side note, the photo here is from my wedding day. My wife and I were lucky to have an amazing photographer, Suzanne Fogarty, out of Washington state. If you want to see more of Suzanne's amazing work, check out her website HERE. She's an brilliant photographer and woman; I'm so happy that we had the opportunity to share our wedding with her.
Well, Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I wish you all the love in the world.
Cheers – Mason

Reader Stories: Starting to see financial fitness muscle!
Published on - January 27th, 2013 (Modified on - January 28th, 2013) (by Ellen Cannon)
This story comes to us from reader EmJay. EmJay's story is the epitome of getting rich slowly, and readers can learn from her effort. This post is part of the Reader Stories series. Some reader stories contain general advice; others are examples of how a GRS reader achieved financial success or failure. These stories feature folks with all levels of financial maturity and income. Want to submit your own reader story? Here's how.
Although we didn't declare it to be at the outset, 2012 was The Year We Slayed Our Debt. We refinanced our house in late 2011 to get a shorter interest rate and term, and when we got that magical 10-year mortgage (which will even be a bit shorter than that using a biweekly payment schedule!!), something clicked for me.
All of a sudden, there was light at the end of the tunnel. If we could pay off our house in 10 years, we could debt-free by 40! And if we could pay off our house, what else could we pay off? What else could we do with all that money that would be available? This was really exciting!
I became obsessed—in a good, healthy, and (mostly) sane sort of way. I read Get Rich Slowly and other blogs, borrowed books on frugality from the library, and listened to personal finance podcasts to keep my motivation up. I recorded our spending more regularly than before and compared it with previous years' spending to see where we had incrementally and unintentionally inflated our lifestyle over time. And then I slowly deflated it.
We paid off my student loans, his vehicle, and then his loans to get rid of our debt, and then built up our emergency fund. This was all in a year, and faster than my original estimate of about 18 months.
On to phase two
My husband and I recently spent an evening planning our next steps toward financial independence. We have more money available now that we're not making extra debt or savings payments. I was actually really looking forward to this conversation — partly because I'm a nerd and it meant more number crunching, but more importantly, it was an opportunity to plan out what we want our future to look like.
First, we looked back over the last several months of expenses to see how much money we were really talking about. This ends up being about $2,400 per month, which seems like an incredible sum since I started this snowball with $500 per month from a pay raise in late 2011. Huzzah to the debt slayers!
We knew that increasing our retirement contributions would be one of our next steps, so we then calculated 15 percent of our gross income to see how much we should be putting in each year. We are currently putting in a little (to make sure we get that match), so we'll be increasing that about $850 per month.
We then talked about and prioritized our other goals to decide what to do with the remaining $1,550. We decided to increase our charitable donations by $200 per month. We also put high-priority on saving up for new (used) vehicles. We hope to get two more years from my car and four years from his truck. Since we're not sure how much longer my car will actually last, however, we're going to save a lot for future vehicles this year—about $1,100 per month. The rest will go to our medium-term goal of paying off the house.
Over the next few years, our monthly "car payment to ourselves" will gradually decrease to a more reasonable amount as we build that savings up, and then we'll making increasingly large extra payments on the house. We also identified longer-term goals for traveling and buying recreational forest land but are not funding these this year.
So we have our new plan and are in the process of implementing it. We've visited our financial planner to decide our best options for funding retirement and have started identifying organizations to which we'll donate. It's been really thrilling to see our progress so far, and this is itself incredibly motivating as we move ahead. We've started to turn our debt snowball into a savings snowball. And someday we'll roll it into a giant snowball for having fun and helping others.
Reminder: This is a story from one of your fellow readers. Please be nice. Remember that this guest author isn't a professional writer, and is just learning about money like you are. Henceforth, unduly nasty comments on reader stories will be removed or edited.
This article is about Budgeting, Cars, Debt, Giving, Reader Stories, Savings
Looks like a great plan. Especially the carpayments to ourselves idea. I just started that myself but in a much smaller way. I hope my car lasts a very long time because I can only manage about 25 dollars per biweekly pay.
I am working on my emergency fund and I am trying to get one month of expenses but emergencies keep popping up. I would be happiest with one year of expenses but that is an unachievable goal with my income and debt level. How long will your emergency fund last?
You now what? One month's expenses is fine for now. Have you thought about saving up one month's expenses first, THEN building the emergency fund? Once the emergency fund is established, you can resume saving your goal of one year's expenses.
I think you're doing great. Keep it up.
Great job — it sounds like you're going to be getting rich quickly, not slowly at all. Congrats!
Hey EmJay,
Congrats on all your good work so far, especially the charitable donations! I post a LOT about analyzing and killing that mortgage debt you're speaking of in a (mostly) sane sort of way too so feel free to take a look at some of the great ways I've found to pay it down quicker. Also ecochic I look at how you can still pay things off amazingly quick even if you have kids.
On another note, when you're making your decision to give to charity, I'd HIGHLY suggest a visit to http://www.givewell.org. Using their information will guarantee that your money gets used as best as possible.
Congratulations! Recently, I managed to lose a significant amount of weight (the yelling from my primary care physician of 13 years triggered it). The first few pounds came off easy and that is what motivated me to move forward. Had those first pounds been difficult, I would have been far less motivated.
Money is the same way or as JD would say "It is all psychological". Having a firm grip on one's finances *really* helps to understand and prioritize the expenses.
really interesting post, love the charitable giving. At the end of summer two of my kids will finsih college and if they get jobs I will have a good chink of money each moth to use for the next project… made e realise I need to sit down with my husband again to plan for some long term goals
I like the reminder to be nice.
Great post!
Great post!
Lolz @ the TK in the subhead!
I like the imagery of building our financial fitness muscles over time. You had rapid gains in 2012 — but maybe slower fitness gains in the prior years. My own financial muscles have gotten stronger as I've tamed my addiction to costly "stuff". Just posted on that, actually. Warm wishes on your continued success, EmJay.
Congratulations on breaking free from your debt. And welcome to the journey to financial independence. Best luck to you as you move forward.
I love this, very upbeat and inspiring! For someone at the beginning of a debt snowball it is nice to hear about the rewards!
I love reading about people who are getting their stuff together. I hope that after awhile mine will start to look more promising. I'm down to 50k of student loans from 70k and can't wait until I can make a reader story of my own. Nice job!
Cat, paying off 20k of your student loans IS a success story! You don't need to wait until you're completely debt free to share your triumphs.
@Justus Thanks!!! I feel so close yet sooooo far away. I don't want to do the standard 10 years like everyone else and it's already been 4! Gotta ramp it up or something!
Wow, how inspiring! You are taking all the right steps for a secure financial future. I think it's great that you've increased charitable donations by such a large sum. Unfortunately this is something that many people miss in their monthly budget.
Great going. Congratulations!
That's awesome. Having the end in sight in terms of becoming debt free is exciting and motivating. I'm guessing that you're husband and you don't have children and aren't planning on having any because you didn't mention them here and they (of course) are a major expense. Not hinting that either lifestyle choice is a better one, but it certainly seems a little easier on the finances if you don't have to worry about putting kids through college and whatnot.
Congratulations! You're much farther along than we are. We have one more student loan and our house. Good idea on putting a ton toward replacing your vehicles, so you'll be prepared when the time comes. Looks like you're headed down the right path. Enjoy it! I'll see you there in a few years.
Very impressive.
Its very difficult to get qualified for that type of loan these days.
It's funny the banks get their credit ratings cut but they won't offer credit to anyone unless they are A rated even when they aren't.
Really like the car payments to yourself!

Arthur Steverson said no one's child should have to suffer the vicious attack his son endured.
Two large dogs pounced on his son, Azarius Lowe, Monday outside the New Schools at Carver.
Tuesday, animal control officers captured a dog suspected of attacking a young boy in Fulton County. However, an official with the agency said it was not one of the dogs involved in the attack at the New Schools at Carver.
Steverson said his son was badly injured and was under sedation at the Grady Trauma Center after undergoing reconstructive surgery.
Steverson said he wished he could have been at the school to protect his son.
"I wish it would never have happened to him. I could've been there. I could've taken it on instead of him," Steverson said.
The animals mauled Lowe's face and arms.
"He's hurting. He's not talking much. Right now, they're just wrapping him up and cleaning his wounds and waiting for him to move upstairs where he can rest," Steverson said.
Animal control placed traps around the baseball field, close to where the attack happened.
The school was locked down earlier on Monday but reopened later in the afternoon.
Steverson wanted to know how could such an attack happen at his son's school where children are supposed to safe.
"I would like this to be addressed and find out how it happened. What can they do to not allow this to happen again?" Steverson asked.
The dogs were last seen to be headed towards Pryor Street and the Villages at Carver YMCA area. Animal control officers are warning anyone who sees a stray dog in the area not to go near it, but to call police.

We all agree that graphics help our understanding on certain information dramatically. Information graphics (Infographics) are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics present complex information easily and clearly. Infographics are positioned between text reports and images such as photographs and illustrations. They have the contents of the text reports and visual messages of images.
Infographics can be classified into six categories.
Instruction manuals of the electrical appliances, maps, encyclopedias, infographics are everywhere in our daily life. How about in our classrooms? How can we use them in our teaching?
Below is a 2005 Eco-Drive poster by Japan Automobile Federation.
This infographic poster shows us the annual carbon dioxide emissions of the car. In my Japanese language class, students read an article on environmental destruction and discuss the issue. After the class discussion, students research the issue and give a presentation on their findings. Usually students give Power Point presentations.
I can suggest them to create an inforgaphic poster like above. Not because it is new and something different but to create an infographic, students need to consider the importance of communication. The infographic is a communication tool, not just reports information or data, which present information easily and clearly to a wide and varied audience. For this students need to consider the concept and data, and also they need to make it attractive, clear, simple, flow, and wordless. As like the verbal communication, the infographic need to design from the viewpoint of the audience.

If you've held firm to your New Year's resolutions for a month and a half or so, give yourself a high five -- you're about halfway to sticking to them for good. The reason: It takes roughly 90 days to make or break a habit, according to addiction-behavior researcher Alan Marlatt, PhD, professor and director of the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at the University of Washington. The bad news: "Temptation grows, not decreases, as you begin to change your behavior," says psychiatrist Balasa Prasad, MD, chairman of the anesthesia department at the Mount Vernon Hospital in Mount Vernon, New York, and author of Stop Smoking for Good.
Knowing that the next few months will require more commitment than ever, FITNESS gathered an arsenal of strategies to help reel you in from the brink of relapse.You're most likely to relapse...
...in one to three months. Ironically, "lapses tend to occur once people start seeing improvement," says Daniel Kirschenbaum, PhD, director of the Center for Behavioral Medicine and Sport Psychology in Chicago and author of The Healthy Obsession Program. Your pants fit you better, and suddenly you think that you can afford to indulge in Nutella. That is, until your pants start to fit like shrink-wrap again.Relapse-Buster 1
Keep a food journal. You've heard it before: Committing pen to paper each time you commit fork to mouth encourages good habits. "You stay more focused because you're aware of your long-term goal of weight loss every time you use it," says Kirschenbaum. These days, self-monitoring devices can do the math for you -- and then some. The Bodybugg, available at bodybugg.com, is an armband that uses sensors to gauge your every move. It's expensive -- $399 for the armband plus a three-month online subscription; $14.95 a month after that -- but Kara Gallagher, PhD, an exercise physiologist in Louisville, Kentucky, likes it because it takes the guesswork out of dieting. A less expensive option is the Pocket Diet Tracker, $24.95, which can be downloaded to your PDA. As slick as these gadgets are, Kirschenbaum says the most effective self-monitoring device is still ink and parchment, for the simple reason "you don't have to worry about paper crashing or freezing."Relapse-Buster 2
Have your cake, but just one small piece. Relying solely on willpower is the quickest road to ruin, says addiction-behavior researcher John C. Norcross, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania. In fact, those who try to withstand the forbidden fruit (or pizza or tiramisu) through steely nerves alone are actually three times more likely to chuck the entire diet once they give in to the siren song of the dessert tray. Instead, allow for the occasional slice of cake or order of cheese fries, and treat it as an indulgence, not an excuse to fall off the wagon.Relapse-Buster 3
Think ahead. For some, the family dinner on Sunday may be the scene of the crime. For others, it's the local Starbucks, with its surplus of muffins, dollops of whipped cream, and drizzles of caramel syrup. Know your poison, and avoid it if possible. At your mom's, stay out of the kitchen to prevent predinner grazing. Steer clear of places where "plain coffee" is an anomaly. Or plan for extra exercise to make up for any munching malfunctions. "Know when setbacks are likely to occur, then plan for them strategically," says Kelly Brownell, PhD, professor of psychology and director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University.
...in a week to 3 months. Lack of time and taking on too much too soon are the most commonly cited reasons for throwing in the exercise towel, says Rod Dishman, PhD, exercise psychologist and professor at the University of Georgia. Most of us think we have to bust a gut to reap any benefit, which sets us up for failure.Relapse-Buster 1
Schedule your workouts. "Studies show that exercisers are more likely to stick to their goals if they write them down," says sports psychologist Charlie Brown, PhD, who is affiliated with the American College of Sports Medicine. Think of them as nonnegotiable appointments, says organizing and time-management consultant Julie Morgenstern, author of Time Management from the Inside Out. And be realistic: If you know you have an insane week coming up, don't plan 60-minute workouts after office hours when you can more easily fit in a 30-minute exercise DVD in the morning.Relapse-Buster 2
Try the 20-minute rule. Forget the old "I don't have time" excuse. You can still achieve fitness results by doing short bursts of intense exercise. If you can't make it to the gym, try to engineer more activity into your day. Whenever possible, walk rather than drive, take the stairs -- if they're an option -- rather than the elevator, or even do just a few push-ups. Studies show that significant health benefits occur when exercise is performed in small, repeated bouts rather than in one long sweat session.Relapse-Buster 3
Don't go for the burn. A good guideline: Pick a somewhat difficult intensity, meaning you're breathing hard but can still carry on a conversation, recommends Dishman. A study at Maastricht University in the Netherlands showed that those who engage in moderate physical activity, such as walking and biking, burned more calories over the course of the day than those who went for vigorous workouts. It turns out that high-impact exercisers spend a greater part of their day in a sedentary state (perhaps as a result of being exhausted). The group of moderate exercisers was more active overall, which just goes to show that slow and steady wins the race and doesn't burn you out.
...in a week to a month. Roughly 70 percent of smokers say that they want to stop, but less than 10 percent are able to quit cold turkey. Thinking like an addict is the reason most light up again, says Dr. Prasad. It's easy to remember only the good times -- all those happy hours in your 20s -- and forget the deadly side effects.Relapse-Buster 1
Avoid temptation. You've quit, so why are you still holding on to your lighters, ashtrays, or that emergency pack? Dump them all ASAP so there are no more reminders of your former fire-breathing self, says Dr. Prasad. Otherwise, "You just prolong the misery of trying to stop." If you live with a smoker, request that they take their icky habit outside or into a designated smoker's room: the basement.Relapse-Buster 2
Don't go where you've gone before. Just as alcoholics should avoid bars, quitters should avoid situations in which they may be likely to indulge, says Marlatt. Some tweaks may be temporary until you reach the 90-day mark. Others -- a favorite smoky haunt -- may have to go for good.Relapse-Buster 3
Find a viable replacement. You're less likely to revert to old habits if you develop new behaviors to replace those you're giving up, says Marlatt. For example, if you always lit up over your morning coffee, don't drink coffee -- try caffeinated cocoa or tea instead. If you smoked to reduce stress, find a new release, such as exercise. If you smoked to boost your mood, plan something enjoyable to do every day -- an art exhibit on Monday, the movies on Tuesday, and so on. Just think, if you were a three-pack-a-week smoker, that's roughly $15 multiplied by 52 weeks, which equals mani-pedis galore.
...the next day. You didn't become Mistress of the Dark Side overnight, so don't expect to wake up as Little Miss Sunshine the next day. And while you may have stopped contemplating the apocalypse -- for the time being -- you're having a difficult time keeping all of those nagging neuroses at bay. Of course, if you're truly depressed, you may need to seek out professional treatment. But for many of us, a daily plan can do wonders for the psyche.Relapse-Buster 1
Quit ruminating. Psychoanalyzing every setback makes problems worse, according to Robert Leahy, PhD, director of he American Institute for Cognitive Therapy in New York City and author of The Worry Cure. The longer you stew, the longer they'll brew. So set your thoughts on something else -- the nicer, the better. Moderately to severely depressed students at Stanford University reported feeling better after shifting their focus to pleasant topics. Another way to halt your negative mental processes: Stop equating uncertainty with a train-wreck outcome. Instead, come up with seven explanations that don't have to do with you.Relapse-Buster 2
Immerse yourself in a hobby you love. Lack of action is precisely what makes you feel stuck in a rut, says Leahy. Break out of your funk by getting absorbed in something so meaningful that you lose yourself in it.Relapse-Buster 3
Stop grousing and get moving! Working up a sweat helps keep the blues at bay by increasing the production of serotonin and dopamine, the chemicals in the brain that make you happy. Short exercise sessions increase feelings of well-being for up to 60 minutes after exercising, according to a new study conducted at the University of Missouri at Columbia. If you need ideas for new moves, see our "Get a Hot Body" guide.

Some of Atlanta's college football prospects will be writing a weekly diary for the AJC until February's signing day. They will be sharing their thoughts, opinions, adventures and perspectives on the recruiting journey.
Shamire DeVine is the most highly-touted member of Georgia Tech's 2013 recruiting class. Devine, who is ranked as the state's No. 1 offensive lineman and a 4-star by Scout.com, committed to Georgia Tech over Florida State, while also considering football scholarship offers from Florida, UGA, Tennessee and USC. He pledged to Georgia Tech in early May.
I know Georgia Tech is 2-3 but I think they are doing good – they just have to keep it up and have some more fight. My observations on Georgia Tech are that they are holding it down. They are running the ball perfectly. There is nothing I see that needs to be improved.
I have been talking to the Georgia Tech coaches. They are saying that they just need to hold it down and pick it up a little bit.
I saw my friend Chris Griffin [another offensive lineman committed to Georgia Tech] at a recent game. He reminds me of "Family Guy." We talked and cracked jokes.
I've been hearing from Kentucky and Louisville. They have just been saying that they would love to have me as part of the team, and stuff like that. I don't think I will be taking any visits soon.
And when I said [to Rivals] that UGA is trying to get back into the picture, I was saying it has been like two months since I got any type of mail from them. One day I go home and there's like 10 pieces of mail from UGA in the mailbox. They congratulated me on making the AJC Super 11, awards and other stuff like that.

Note: Inappropriate BLOG comments and personal attacks will NOT be tolerated. We love the lively discussions but hate-filled, harassing and irresponsible comments are unacceptable.

Glad he's still committed to us! We can always use bodies along the trenches where most games are won/lost. Hopefully we can pull some D-linemen as highly rated as Shamire to join the recruiting class of 2013. Does anyone know how many spots are actually "open" for this the class of 2013? Seems like it was slated to be approx. 15. Not sure if that's changed or not.
October 5th, 2012
9:54 am
SoCal, I think 15 is about right. What the coaches have intimated is that they are not going to give out scholarships just to hit that number right now. They are going to be very choosey from this point on. They also understand that the number will fluctuate slightly as they award scholarships to walk on players who are already on the team who earn playing time. So at this point they have two to give depending on how the numbers fluctuate.

Comments On Dec 20, 2011:I put this tire on my 1993 DR350S after burning up several dual sport tires that were more aimed to dirt riding. I have a few MX bikes, so I gave up on the dual sport part of this bike and made it more Supermotard to have better street manners. After riding a whole season on the tires, it show very little wear. The Distanzia grips well on my light machine and handles very well! I don't do much rain riding, so it's not fair to make any comments on that. I would recommend this tire to anyone looking to put a street tire on a dual purpose bike - the difference in the curves will amaze you!

Kim Dotcom has failed to impress NBR readers that his new venture, Mega, would be good investment.
At the launch of his new file storage and sharing service, he said: "We are going to be an important company, we're going to innovate and create new tools over the coming months and years. Ultimately, we hope to list our company at the New Zealand stock exchange."
In a poll conducted on the NBR ONLINE website last week (Jan 21-27), readers were asked: Would you consider investing in a company backed by Kim?
Just over two-thirds (68%) said no, while 33% disagreed (numbers add up to more than 100% due to rounding).

If your Children's Hospital Home Care service includes respiratory therapy, you can expect your initial visit by a respiratory therapist to last from one to four hours and follow-up visits to last from one to two hours.
A two-hour time block for the initial respiratory therapy visit ensures that the respiratory therapist has enough time to complete all the necessary assessments, as well as provide training to you and other primary caregivers about how to safely care for your child.
We understand the challenges patients and caregivers face in a home setting. Therefore, our program emphasizes extensive caregiver training prior to discharge from the Hospital, home follow-up and continued support including 24-hour clinical and technical on-call service.
Assessments are done on our initial respiratory therapy visit to establish your child's baseline status and create a basis for comparison on subsequent visits. The respiratory therapist will document your child's information into the electronic medical record with the use of a laptop computer which connects to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Home Care office.
On your first visit with the respiratory therapist from Children's Hospital Home Care, you can expect the respiratory therapist to perform the following.
The respiratory therapist will review and explain documents such as your Home Care Consent and Assignment of Benefits. This document serves multiple purposes.
First, it documents your consent for respiratory therapy care and treatment to be provided to your child by Children's Hospital Home Care. Additionally, it serves as an explanation of your rights and responsibilities as a home care client.
This document also makes you aware of your financial responsibility for home care services, as well as allows Children's Hospital Home Care to bill your insurance provider for home care services.
The respiratory therapist will also complete a home safety assessment. This includes a review of your child's living space to make sure there are no safety concerns that would impact your family's ability to safely care for your child. If there are any safety issues, the home care respiratory therapist will work with you to correct it or connect you with resources that can help.
On each visit, the respiratory therapist will also ask to see all of the medications —prescribed or over-the-counter — your child is taking. The RT will then check the medications in your home against those ordered by your child's physician.
The respiratory therapist will also explain how to contact the Home Care office with questions about supply re-orders, equipment malfunction, and/or questions about your child's care between home care visits.
The respiratory therapist will provide you and your child's primary caregivers all of the training needed, including demonstrating equipment and care required for your child. After the demonstration, the respiratory therapist will ask you to perform a return demonstration to ensure you are comfortable and competent in caring for your child safely at home.
During the respiratory therapy visit, you can expect the RT to complete necessary tasks such as an assessment of your child's airway management, and provide you with valuable information on:

Report on the Ramsar Advisory Mission to Pakistan undertaken in response to the disastrous floods in 2010
Malheureusement, il n'y a pas de version française de ce document.
The report on the Ramsar Advisory Mission (RAM) to Pakistan in November 2012 has been released and is now available here [PDF].
The RAM was undertaken in response to the disastrous floods in 2010 that Pakistan faced and the aims were to visit the wetlands along the Indus River floodplains to a), devise a workable and cost effective strategy for wise-use of the floods b), to make recommendations for alteration in the prevailing flood control strategy so as to obtain maximum benefit from the flood water and c), identify high priority wetlands/Ramsar Sites for restoration by using the floods as a tool for restoration.
|RAM team in discussion
The visit highlighted the fact that the Indus River is truly the lifeblood for Pakistan, flowing through the country to provide water and nutrients for agriculture, as well as food, energy and livelihood for people across the country, from the high mountains to the Arabian Sea. However, there is a lack of an integrated basin approach to the management of the river to maintain the many services and benefits that the river provides for people and the environment, including it capacity for flood retention.
|Irrigation channel
The overall recommendations from the RAM included the following:
- A broad-based coordinating authority should be established for the sustainable management of the Indus River Basin in Pakistan and its resources, e.g. water, fisheries, biodiversity, as well as for pollution control and flood management;
- The coordinating body should be tasked with drafting and regularly updating an 'Integrated Indus River Basin Plan' to coordinate up-stream land-uses with the needs of down-stream users, which can also maintain the social, economic , environmental and flood control benefits that the river provides through maintaining environmental flows;
- The government should move away from the paradigm of solely using a hard-engineering approach to controlling flood and instead, take an integrated approach and consider including soft-engineering approaches. This would include managing floodplains and using, or restoring lakes and ponds for flood water storage, and the replanting of riverine forests to slow the speed of the flood waters. There is a need to take the traditional approach of looking at the annual floods as blessings and to maximise the benefits we can obtain from them.
|Lal Suhanra wetland
- A number of sites along the Indus River were identified as being suitable for further investigation for conducting pilot projects on the restoration and management of floodplains for flood management as well as for the improving the livelihood of the local communities. These sites include the ponds by Taunsa Barrage Ramsar Site, as well as sites in the Indus Dolphin Ramsar Site and at Lal Suhanra National Park;
- The management plans that are being developed for the Ramsar Sites along the Indus River floodplain, e.g. Taunsa Barrage, should also discuss and provide recommendations on the management of the site for flood management;
- Activities under the pilot project would include the removal of illegal structures and encroachments into the sites which otherwise would obstruct the flow of water and impact on the capacity of the site to hold flood water;
- To control encroachment of the flood plains by illegal settlements and illegal structures in general, the staff of the Irrigation Department should be empowered and strengthened by facilitating them to enforce the Canal and Drainage Act (1873);
- The trial of alternative livelihood methods which are adapted to the annual floods for the benefit of the local communities; restoration and management of ponds and lakes for flood water storage; develop opportunities for biodiversity conservation (e.g. restoration of riverine forests and provisions of habitat for waterbirds) as well as for education and public awareness should be undertaken.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — New Haven police say one person was killed and five others were injured in a shooting inside a nightclub.
Police say gunfire rang out inside the Key Club Cabaret at 3:30 a.m. Saturday, sending more than a hundred patrons rushing out through the main doorway.
A news release from the New Haven police department says one female victim died, two other victims are in critical condition and three others were receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
A suspect has not been identified. Police have been interviewing several witnesses and anyone with information about the crime is being asked to call detectives.
Police said the interior of the club was littered with drug paraphernalia and smelled of marijuana.
Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman today released the following statement in response to the overnight shooting.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the woman who died as a result of her injuries, the victims who are fighting for their lives, and all who are impacted by this senseless violence. This is a tragic reminder that despite progress in recent years, Connecticut cities still suffer too often from the plague of gun violence. On the state, municipal, and community levels, Connecticut must continue to work together to make all our communities safer."
The governor was scheduled to attend a 2 p.m. press conference held by New Haven Police Department.

Bathing Baby Checklist
|Rubbing alcohol
|When bathing your newborn, this will be an essential part of making sure the umbilical cord area stays clean until the cord has fallen off (only if recommended by your baby's physician).
|Skin products
|There is disagreement about the use of lotions, powders, oils, and other products for your baby. Some of these products may help your baby's skin, but some present a risk. In general, perfumed lotions are more likely to contain irritating chemicals than the simpler, unscented ones. Safflower oil has been used by some for babies' skin and is a relatively simple substitute for more chemically complex products. (Note: don't ever use powder on your infant as it can get into babies' breathing passages and cause problems.)
|Mild soap
|Confused about what soap to choose for your growing infant? So are many pediatricians. Soaps contain ingredients that can be drying to skin. The pH your baby is born with helps protect against germs and can be rendered too low by the use of soap. Pediatricians say you are safest using a soap made specifically for babies that has no perfumes and is hypoallergenic. And you don't need to use soap during every bath, once every couple weeks is fine until your little one is old enough to make more serious messes.
|Mild, no-tears shampoo
|You'll baby will only need this once or twice per week. To shampoo your little one's head, place a small bit of shampoo (only two to three drops are necessary (on the head and very gently rub the scalp.
|Nail clippers or scissors
|This is a good time to trim your baby's finger and toe nails. Post bath, they nails will be extra soft and easy to cut.
|Comb and/or brush
|To prevent or heal cradle cap (the crusty, scaly patches on your baby's head), gently use a soft toothbrush or surgical brush to clean the scalp daily, including during a bath.
|Extra towels
|Splashes happen! Have a couple extra towels at the ready to catch spills and to dry you off as well, post bath.
|Blanket or post-bath clothes
|For warmth and cuddling after bath.
After you've collected all of your bath supplies, make sure that you can reach everything you need so that you don't have to leave your precious little one unattended, even if your baby is with an older sibling.

- Data is Snake Oil (Pete Warden) — data is powerful but fickle. A lot of theoretically promising approaches don't work because there's so many barriers between spotting a possible relationship and turning it into something useful and actionable. This is the pin of reality which deflates the bubble of inflated expectations. Apologies for the camel's nose of rhetoric poking under the metaphoric tent.
- XML vs the Web (James Clark) — resignation and understanding from one of the markup legends. I think the Web community has spoken, and it's clear that what it wants is HTML5, JavaScript and JSON. XML isn't going away but I see it being less and less a Web technology; it won't be something that you send over the wire on the public Web, but just one of many technologies that are used on the server to manage and generate what you do send over the wire. (via Simon Willison)
- Understanding Pac Man Ghost Behaviour — The ghosts' AI is very simple and short-sighted, which makes the complex behavior of the ghosts even more impressive. Ghosts only ever plan one step into the future as they move about the maze. Whenever a ghost enters a new tile, it looks ahead to the next tile that it will reach, and makes a decision about which direction it will turn when it gets there. Really detailed analysis of just one component of this very successful game. (via Hacker News)
- The Full Stack (Facebook) — we like to think that programming is easy. Programming is easy, but it is difficult to solve problems elegantly with programming. I like to think that a CS education teaches you this kind of "full stack" approach to looking at systems, but I suspect it's a side-effect and not a deliberate output. This is the core skill of great devops: to know what's happening up and down the stack so you're not solving a problem at level 5 that causes problems at level 3.

Training Tricks, Visualizing Code, ASM+XML=ASMXML, and Poetic License
- Training Lessons Learned: Interactivity (Selena Marie Deckelmann) — again I see parallels between how the best school teachers work and the best trainers. I was working with a group of people with diverse IT backgrounds, and often, I asked individuals to try to explain in their own words various terms (like "transaction"). This helped engage the students in a way that simply stating definitions can't. Observing their fellow students struggling with terminology helped them generate their own questions, and I saw the great results the next day – when students were able to define terms immediately, that took five minutes the day before to work through.
- Software Evolution Storylines — very pretty visualizations of code development, inspired by an xkcd comic.
- asmxml — XML parser written in assembly language. (via donaldsclark on Twitter)
- Poetic License — the BSD license, translated into verse. Do tractor workers who love tractors a lot translate tractor manuals into blank verse? Do the best minds of plumber kid around by translating the California State Code into haikus? Computer people are like other people who love what they do. Computer people just manipulate symbols, whether they're keywords in Perl or metrical patterns in software licenses. It's not weird, really. I promise.

Some Tasty Bits from the StartWithXML UK Survey
We've got some raw results from the StartWithXML survey in the UK, and they are very different in some respects from the US survey we did. Some salient points:48.7% of the respondents were in the STM market, followed by trade (24.4%) and college (16%).The bulk of respondents were from large houses – 50.4% – and the rest were evenly divided…
CSS in an XML Workflow
At the StartWithXML Forum in New York in January, Rebecca Goldthwaite of Cengage gave a great demonstration of how Cengage uses CSS in their XML workflow. Many publishers regard style sheets as an invitation to create cookie-cutter book production, with the fear that all their books will look the same. This is emphatically a myth. Have a look at her…

Having that happen would obviously be a tremendous boost to your business, plus it would give you tons of confidence. As you know, producing something to become viral is difficult to do. Unfortunately, you won't find anyone who can accurately state with the hottest trends will be on the net. It's usually just a matter of luck when you try to predict these things about hot topics. You can increase your chances of doing something that becomes viral by using particular marketing strategies. Support mural TV Samsung
Here are some things you can do.|Every online marketer, who knows what viral means, dreams of putting something out there that goes insanely viral. Having some kind of content that is popular and talked about on social media sites is a highly coveted event in the life of a marketer. While viral traffic tends to be short-lived, it's more of a tremendous spike, probably all marketers will take it and not complain. But creating this effect is probably impossible to do with 100% reliability. It seems to be a mixture of working hard to create something amazing and then promoting the heck out of it. It's not so terribly unusual to see strange, or unknown, products that can become viral. We suppose you'd love to know how you can produce these kinds of results? Here are some things you can do to get your content to go viral.|If you want to make money online you need to grab peoples' attention. You have to get people to see you before you can sell them your products and offer them your services. Make this happen by creating viral content. The creation of viral content is not an exact science. A lot of what goes viral does so simply based on the whim of a single individual. Of course, you can take steps to increase your chances that people will notice you. Going viral might not be an exact science, but that does not mean you cannot try to help yourself. Here are a few things you can try.|When you hear the word "virus" what do you think of? Did it make you think about medical issues - being sick, etc? Or maybe, if you're an online marketer, did you think about something that becomes viral? Viral content is content that gets talked about and passed around without any help from the creator. And no extra advertising or marketing is necessary.
What you have here is… online word of mouth advertising. Ask any online marketer, they'll tell you they would love to have something like that happen to them. This type of traffic volume will give most marketers severe bandwidth overage charges. Continue on reading and we'll share some solid ideas that may help you achieve this kind of dream in your IM business.|Thousands of online marketers work for many years trying to produce something that becomes viral content. The power of viral content is such that it can skyrocket your business almost overnight, and that's the allure of creating such an event. But, as you may know, it's impossible to predict what becomes viral and what does not. You can do things a certain way, follow particular guidelines that can contribute to the chance of 'going viral' with your content. Following these hints might seem like basic common sense, but you would be surprised at just how many could be the tipping point between being "normal" and being "extraordinary" in internet marketing.}
Place your work in a visible place. Creating the work is not enough. Its existence must be known by other people. One of the best ways to do this is to submit your work to the social bookmarking sites. Digg, Reddit and StumbleUpon are great (and free) services that you can submit your work to. People that are looking for the next "it" item are usually surfing these sites. You can change from unpopular to popular if only a few of these internet users click on your links. Make sure that people can find you. Your work won't ever go viral if people have to look for you. Find someone who is extremely popular, and then link or associate with that person.
Another strategy is to create a video review or commentary on a popular person in your market. If you're fortunate, and the person likes your content, you could get some reciprocal link activity back to your content - more traffic. Ideally, you want to make your review excellent, or eye catching, so you gain favorable attention and hopefully that person's audience will give you their attention. The goal is be interesting, or controversial, enough so people naturally want to tell others about it. So there, that's just one strategy for creating a viral campaign.
One of the cheaper tricks to getting your work to go viral is to pretend to be an idiot about something.
Or, if you aren't a fan of shady tricks to get attention, you can admit your idiocy over something. It takes courage to admit to not knowing something, and there's nothing wrong with asking for help. You will probably get more attention and comments if you're upfront about your ignorance on something. You could also just pretend to be an idiot and toss an ignorant opinion or two into your work. It's not hard to see this being done all the time. Just be prepared to live with whatever it is you say. Creating content that goes viral is not an exact science. It's impossible to say with any degree of accuracy what will have a viral effect, and what will not. You can, however, take steps to ensure that your work is worth the attention you are trying to receive. Engaging in the hope game and being lazy in your efforts won't help you at all. This is really not hard work, and it will only increase your chances of making something viral happen. You could be the next huge news on the net.

Jim Brandenburg is best known for his images of the Northwoods -- complete with wolves, moose, and deep, deep, snow.
But he says he can take more pictures in a day on the prairie than in a day in the Boundary Waters -- because it's where he grew up.
The exhibit of prairie photographs, "Touch the Sky," will be on view at Sivertson Gallery in Duluth through May.
Brandenburg is teaming up with musician Michael Monroe for a slide show and concert, Monday May 1 at the DECC in Duluth.
Brandenburg talked with MPR's Stephanie Hemphill about his love of the prairie, and his photographs which capture its beauty.
