A week after straining his left oblique in Anaheim, Nate McLouth has begun doing some light baseball activities, starting with some throwing and running in batting practice on Sunday afternoon.
McLouth planned to begin taking some dry swings on Monday and working his way back with tee work, soft toss and eventually batting practice later in the week.
McLouth figures he'll need a rehabilitation game or two in the minors, but if all progresses well, he is hopeful that he's closer to needing the 15 days scheduled on the disabled list than the month or so required by more oblique serious strains.
He's eligible to return as early as Tuesday June 7 in Florida.
"The way that I feel and the way it's gotten a little bit better each day," said McLouth, who isn't going to push it either. "I'm going to be really careful not to overextend myself and hurt it any more, while I'm on my way back. I just want it to be good and be done and forget about it."
Jordan Schafer is playing well in center field in McLouth's absence, so the Braves don't need him to rush it either.
McLouth injured his oblique checking his swing on a pitch in the dirt, something he still can't quite figure out.
"That was the worst pain I've ever felt," said McLouth, who said it felt like a knife jab in his side. "It was really, really weird too because I barely even offered at the ball. It was a little flinch at the ball. It was really bizarre."

Is there any chance Freeman is traded and Mac is moved to first? Ive heard this idea thrown around a lot but Im starting to buy into it. It would probably give him a few more successful years.
May 29th, 2011

Nate, all the best, man. You've had some tough times, but I hope you work through them, brother.

"Schafer"– Not funny.
Not a bad game last night. I was there and thoroughly enjoyed it. Selig and co. would've hated it, as they hate every game that exceeds three hours, let alone four, but as usual, the postmodern nonsense that gets tossed around our culture is just that very thing: nonsense. The PA folks were as delusional and tasteless as they ever are, and the fans were as ignorant as they ever are, but overall the win was nice.
How in the world was Freeman ruled "safe" in his steal attempt? Did the tagger just bobble the ball somehow? The tag clearly beat the slide, and I'm surprised Dusty Baker didn't get ejected.
We don't need to trade Freeman; he has a huge upside and has done very well defensively. I would trade McCann first, honestly, who I'm not necessarily wanting to trade but who isn't very strong defensively.
A lot of subtleties get overlooked by the typical fan, partially due to the distraction of the stupidity on the big screen, but Atlanta had numerous occasions last night when the iron was hot and didn't strike. As usual, fans sat there like they were watching tennis and later responded when the PA folks beckoned them (at bad times, actually).
People talk about Jordan Schafer's great catch, as I have, but let's also commend Martin Prado, who astutely and professionally deferred to the CF and, along with Schafer, avoided a collision. Great job on both parts.
I think Dan Uggla's drought is almost over.

trade mccann?
he's on track to have one of the greatest offensive catching careers of all time.
freeman's slide: the throw beat him, the tag beat him, but phillips missed the tag. it was very close.

What a squeaker. Offense still pathetic but great performances by J.J. and Prado. Ross was great defensively.
…………..Can we get a refund on Uggla?
May 29th, 2011
11:06 pm
I'm another one who is of the belief that McClouth doesn't need to hurry back.
To date Schafer has been doing just fine and I think the lineup would be much better with him leading off with Martin in the 2 hole. Schafer gives this lineup some speed and energy, AND he is a better defender with a FAR better arm.
May 29th, 2011
11:25 pm
It will be interesting to see how Fredi uses Schafer once McLouth returns. Mather may be sent down, but that will make us very left-handed in the outfield.
May 29th, 2011
11:56 pm
"ours" and "we"??? Don't think the Bravos would like to count you, alex, and Skeezix, as "their" fans…
May 30th, 2011
12:32 am
Schafer looks like a new man. Nate needs to be a backup now.
May 30th, 2011
1:40 am
Seriously, what is Freddi going to do when Nate is all healed from his freaky deaky injury? Freddi says these are good problems to have.
I say McLouth goes to the bench, Schafer stays as starter because of the speed he brings as lead-off hitter, and because Prado's true spot is in the two hole. So were does J-Hey hit when he comes back (probably sooner than Nater)?
I say back to 6th were he was hitting better earlier in the year. Problems, problems…
But these are good problems to have, and Freddi gets to really say.
May 30th, 2011
3:55 am
I have to agree that Scahfer has earned a chance to be the every day CF.
May 30th, 2011
7:20 am
true schafer deserves the centerfield job and bat leadoff, but has anyone thought about hinske what a fantastic surprise he has been. looks like uggla is beginning to come around. all this considered we braves fans have a great season to look forward to. it is gonna be fun from here on

Nate my advise is leave for Gwinnett early each night. Traffic is a bear going up 85.
May 30th, 2011
8:05 am
As good as some of these subs are hitting, and as bad as some of the regulars are hitting, I don't think the Braves have the luxury of just sticking with their highest payroll players. If Hinski's going to have a career year, find a place for him. McLouth may be hitting better than last year, but if Schafer gives us a better chance to win, their respective salaries should not be a factor. Prado can still play second base and give Uggla some time on the bench.
May 30th, 2011
8:07 am
The team took off last year when Heyward OK-ed McClouth in that collision. I'm sure Nate's a nice guy, but he just hasn't worked out with us. Wren needs to trade him for several boxes of balls and let Schaefer have center field. (Quality balls, mind you.)
May 30th, 2011
8:26 am
Take your time Nate and J Hey, hopefully both of you will be back by the 10th of November.
May 30th, 2011
9:00 am
Am I missing the obvious? Nate goes to right field. Then we have speed all over the outfield and Nate adds a bit of speed on the bases as well as bat control at the plate. True he has a weak arm but IMHO that will not cost us a game while his defense and bat in the 8 hole gives us someone to get on base (so far anyway). Heyward can pitch hit when we need someone to hit into a double play, pitch run for a pitcher, strike out, or we need someone to get hurt so we can add a pitcher who's arm isn't about to fall off.
May 30th, 2011
9:04 am
Hope he heals up soon. I hear they're short a CF in Gwinnett.
May 30th, 2011
9:38 am
When .238 Nate becomes temporarily healthy enough to play, I say we give him to the Royals so that he can get his BA up to .250 in a stress free environment, and enjoy playing baseball again for a team where it doesn't matter if you win or lose.
We need to send Dan Cooley Uggla down to the Pirates for a few weeks so he can make the all star team…. Again, in a stress free environment.
I hear there's a movie coming out soon about the life of Jason "Mr. Osteoporosis" Heyward …Morgan Freeman will play the part of Heyward.
Verne Troyer will play Uggla in the movie
Clint Howard will play Brian McCann
Matt Damon as Chipper
Amanda Seyfried as Carroll Rogers
John C. Reilly as Hinske
Gilbert Gottfried as DOB

Ronnie Milsaps,You are still blind and crazy!
May 30th, 2011

That "trade McCann" comment by Ronnie was the dumbest thing I have read on these blogs, and that is saying something…
May 30th, 2011
1:13 pm
Looks like Schafer adds a lotta needs for Braves.Defense,speed,plus arm,bunting ability,hit and run and is a very good base runner plus Prado will drive in more runs in 2 hole.Now a healthy J-Hey and Uggla getting back to normal makes the Braves a serious threat to the Phillies.Braves starting pitching is actually as good or better than Phillies.Gonna be an exciting summer.
June 3rd, 2011
9:08 pm
Get better fast Nate! Looking forward to seeing play soon.

My Father's Make-Ahead Holiday Gift: Cheesecake, New York-Style
One of the greatest holiday traditions at my parents' house is the making of a half dozen cheesecakes. Guided by a top-secret recipe — from an original 1980 issue of The Kansas City Star that lists a recipe for New York Cheesecake, along with years of handwritten notes and variations — my father spends a full day in the kitchen pressing graham cracker crusts into springform pans, whipping up rich cream cheese filling, and fretting over water baths.
The result: one of the most decadent holiday treats and a beautiful gift for family members.
Is there anything more impressive than presenting a fresh, homemade cheesecake wrapped in a beautiful box with a big red bow? (If there is, please send both items our way so that we can adequately compare!) While the ingredients for cheesecake can cost a pretty penny, it is one of the times when we're always ready to splurge.
For gifting, we recommend a smaller cake made in a 4.5 inch springform pan. Not only does this help out budget-wise, but because the cake is so rich it is actually the best option for a couple or small family.
One of the greatest perks about gifting cheesecake, besides of course making a small one for the cook, is its versatility in the freezer. Cheesecakes freeze brilliantly, allowing these gifts to be prepared even a few weeks ahead of time. To freeze, be sure to securely wrap in plastic wrap, and then with an outer layer of foil. Always thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and eat within 2 to 3 days.
Of course, cheesecake can be tricky. To water bath, or not to water bath? Graham cracker crust or chocolate wafer cookie crust? Does it really have to bake over an hour? So much of the key to cheesecake success lies in knowing your oven well, but for beginners, Sarah put together a great guide using Martha Stewart's New York-Style recipe.
What will you be gifting from your kitchen this holiday season?

Where's the recipe, Kate?
I've baked countless cheesecakes in my time and always use a water bath. I also use a solid pan and turn my cheesecakes out like a regular cake. And no heavy Graham cracker crust for me. I use a dusting of crumbs to complemented the filling -- zweibach for New York style, chocolate crumbs, amaretti ... gingersnaps are nice with pumpkin
It tAkes a sense of resolve and experience to know when to turn off the oven. But cheesecake made this way is smooth, creamy and perfect.
It does say the recipe is top-secret--but then why post the teaser?
No fair! Recipe please!
Truly - I've yet to pry it from my father!
you're going to have to get that recipe.
I have a question about baking the smaller cakes. How does the smaller size affect the baking time?
Love the site but find these (there are others besides this one) where this GREAT! RECIPE! is 'promised' in the headline and then... nothing. Honestly don't get this.
My hubby makes a phenomenal cheesecake he learned from one of the TV cooks - google Finale Cheesecake and it should pop right up. It's always consistently delicious and if you want to cut down on the calories a bit, use Neufchâtel. It's so good you won't notice.
The water bath is essential and ensures a good result. Try it and you'll be glad you did.
post the recipe or it's not "the best."
Nigella's recipe for New York cheesecake is pretty amazing, and very similar to that of the Frugal Gourmet, circa 1980. I suspect it might be very much like this:
The list of tips and Martha Stewart's recipe that Kate included at the end of this post are EXCELLENT. They are my go-to for this style cheesecake. I am making one for my family's Christmas centerpiece dessert this year, but I love the idea of making them as gifts ahead of time.

The SF SPCA and Macy's Unveil Kittens and Puppies in the Windows!
How much is that doggie in the window?
Last Friday, the San Francisco SPCA and Macy's revealed their 27th annual Holiday Windows display with help from the cast members from Beach Blanket Babylon on the corner of Stockton and O'Farrell. Holiday shoppers will be joyously distracted by the ridiculously cute puppies and kittens frolicking in the windows. The theme this year will be a spin on the "Iconic Holiday Celebration windows" from 2012, with fun additions and new surprises to the iconic Thanksgiving Day parade floats, Union Square Ice Skating, and more.
In the spirit of the holidays, those looking to welcome a lovable furry friend into their home can meet an animal in need by visiting the SF SPCA Holiday Windows at Macy's Union Square. (For those who can't make it to Macy's, the SF SPCA will be waiving the adoption fees for animals adopted on weekdays from the permanent SF SPCA Adoption Center at 250 Florida Street.)
A few fun facts about the immensely successful Holiday Windows showcase:
- More than 8,000 animals have found homes through the annual San Francisco SPCA Holiday Windows.
- During the 2012 Holiday Windows at Macy's Union Square 1,091 volunteers contributed 4,522 hours.
- The first Holiday Windows event, in 1987, was at Gumps department store.
- Girls Scouts in uniform are some of our most successful fundraising volunteers!
- Generally, about eight seasonal SF SPCA staff members are hired to help with Holiday Windows.
- For the past four years the SF SPCA Holiday Window displays have been built in New York by Spaeth Design, then driven to San Francisco where they're reassembled and detail is added. The displays can take up to two weeks to install in the Macy's windows and one week remove.
- The optimal number of animals to take to windows everyday is 24. That way there are two animals in every window and six pairs in the adoption room. Usually this means 20 cats and four dogs.
- Past celebrities who have hosted the Holiday Windows unveiling include Sharon Stone, Dame Edna and Steve Young.
- Live images of the cats and dogs are streamed to the SF SPCA website. Last year, more than 50,000 people viewed the live feeds.
- Every year, Macy's finds a unique way to showcase the adoption count in the corner animation window, which is updated every morning as more pets are adopted.

If Religious Education Was In Crisis Would Anyone Notice?
Are Seminaries In Touch with Today's Church?
I read a blog post today about the alarming state of education in the field of marketing. Keep in mind that marketing and evangelism are very much alike.
It seems that the field of marketing is changing so fast that academia has not kept up. Tenured professors are teaching marketing the way it was ten and twenty years ago to students who no longer live in that world. Scratch that. They NEVER lived in that world.
Businesses are interviewing the top students and finding them wholly unprepared for real business challenges.
How did this happen?
The world of marketing began to change at a very fast pace within the last 15 years—too fast for the accrediting process to keep up.
It is quite possible that the Church faces the same problem. But it may take even longer to identify and fix it.
The Church is, after all, 2000 years old. We know what we are doing. Thank you very much.
But perhaps we face the same problems.
Keeping in Touch with the Neighborhood Church
Seminary faculties may be filled with professors who haven't served a congregation during the most recent decades of change. The Church is ill-prepared to cope with the technological and economic challenges. They spend lots of time and resources analyzing but they use old measures. The outcomes predictably favor managerial thinking and not creative thinking.
Consequently, we may be teaching evangelism and pastoral methods that will not reach today's communities, today's Christians, or today's unchurched.
If a congregation can't find a pastor with the skills they need, what's the usual advice? Change or close. There are few leadership candidates prepared to lead change. They, like most students, get where they are by complying with the institutions in which they are enrolled.
The type of change administrators are looking for may be impossible given the state of leadership. Managing churches (an expensive undertaking) usually means closing churches.
The people who are in closest touch with the changes in neighborhood churches are the people who serve on church councils and know what skills their churches need and how hard they are to find. They face modern challenges alone. Inadequate leadership drains resources and morale.
Lay leaders are not paid so their only horse in the race is their faith and passion. If they don't accept the leadership presented to them by their regional body, they may be labeled as "difficult" or "resistant." Neither are bad words but that is how they are perceived. More positive words might be "persevering," "resourceful," or "faithful." They may simply be insisting on leadership skills that they need—but don't exist.
Lay leaders struggle to keep up economically. The offering plate is the only recommended solution—and lots of people these days want a piece of that pie (including seminaries and regional bodies). Many lay leaders have developed skills that those teaching in seminaries may not know exist.
The Marketing Answer
The marketing blogger applauded one university program that opened their marketing classes to business people. They make it easy for seasoned business people to return to school. They schedule classes so that business people can attend. They create a forum with young students and professionals that is resulting in what he claimed was the only program he could recommend as truly preparing students for the real world of marketing. He actually invited his readers to enroll in some classes at a discount!
What if seminaries made an effort to put students side by side with the lay leaders of the churches they will one day be serving.
This would differ from the usual field experience, which is under the tutelage of clergy.
Finding a more direct way to connect lay people with tomorrow's leaders might help pastoral candidates learn before they have relationships to protect.
They might begin to see that many parishes are not dying from the most frequently cited reason—demographics. We just haven't found ways to deal with changing demographics. (Isn't this our mission?)
Congregations might, in reality, be dying from leadership that is not prepared for the work that needs to be done.
What If?
Putting seminarians and lay people together in this way is not a big "what if?" It wouldn't be that hard to try.
- Evening or weekend forums could have seminary students sitting next to lay church leaders and discussing the issues of local churches.
- You want the congregational leaders from the trenches—not the accredited lay leaders who routinely serve on church boards and are part of the approved way of doing things.
- You want small churches to be well represented. Most churches are small.
- Some of the forums might actually be held in the small churches!
This dialog would occur on neutral ground. No one would be protecting sacred turf or answering to hierarchical authority. There would be no paycheck or career trajectory to consider. Students and lay leaders would be discussing the real problems of today's congregations.
And they might—together—find some solutions.
We might grow some new leadership all around—both clergy and lay!
What the Church needs (and needs desperately) is some new thinking. New thinking comes from new understanding.
Worth a try?

tonight my dinner is chocolate cake the ladyfriend made for me on sunday with homemade raspberry glaze and cupcake wine. BECAUSE I'M AN ADULT NOW.
Had my first league practice tonight! Pretty awesome but also pretty brutal, definitely more intense than the last few weeks of FM have been. But it was a good-feeling kind of brutal, so.
Got home craving a warm chocolate chip cookie (AND I HOPE I JUST SPREAD THAT CRAVING TO YOU, HAHA SUCKAHS) but decided I was going to make a PB-banana pita instead. And then I went into the kitchen and found dinner still sitting on the stove, from fucking SEVEN HOURS AGO when I made it, and I kind of lost my shit. So I just rage-cleaned until I was tired enough to forget the food and shower.
But I still want that damn cookie.
brain-confetti replied to your photo: Dinner tonight is pizza rolls, pickle spears, and…
i wanted cigarettes and oreos. instead i got a nonfat latte and a salad. i suck as an adult.
ugh i haven't had a cigarette since i started fresh meat and between you and my neighbor (who is out on his front stoop smoking) i am now craving! :-/ :-/
but i do have oreos! :-D

Emily's Pink Pearl Nursery
Small Kids, Big Color Entry # 40
Name: Emily
Age: 3 months
Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado
Color Inspiration: The bedding set was our inspiration for the wall colors. We used two different shades of pink on the walls and painted the ceiling yellow to lighten it up.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
Color Inspiration continued: I was happy that the colors matched the flower hooks that I have had from Pottery barn kids for quite some time! We decided to go with white furniture and white curtains to create a nice contrast with the walls.
Tip For Using Color: It's never too late! My husband and I painted the nursery while I was 39 weeks pregnant. I went into labor the day after we finished! Choosing colors can be very overwhelming. I find that I do better with choices when I don't have a lot of time to sit around and think about it! I went with my first choice of colors and ran with it.
Colors Used: Benjamin Moore:
Crib Wall: Pink Pearl
Dresser, window, and closet wall: Genuine Pink
Ceiling: Pale Daffodil

Very sweet. Where did you find the bird lamp?
This is SO pretty!
where did you find that book rack??
I love those flower wall hooks! And that crib bedding is one of my favorites. Nice job!
I love the flower wall hooks too! How long ago did you buy them? Hopefully I can find a set on eBay :)
Beautiful room, so girly and elegant - Emily is a lucky lady :)
I could be wrong, but the hooks look like these ones from PB Kids: http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/flower-hooks/?pkey=daccessories-shelving-pegs-hooks
Awesome job, and I love the yellow ceiling. I like that you've displayed some little dresses too- what a great way to show off your favorite pieces!
You chose a lovely, calming shade of pink! I purchased the same crib for our little girl (due in Jan.) and picked out bedding with very similar colors to the ones you have used in Emily's nursery. I even plan to paint a tree mural! I hope my daughter's room turns out as pretty as yours!
Pretty room-- and I love the flower hooks for changing the 'art'-- that'll change fast, too!
This is the cutest room I have ever seen! Good job!
The colors are amazing! Love the whole concept of the tree, birds...all very calming and beautiful.
Thanks everyone for all of the wonderful compliments!
The BookRack, Bird Lamp, and Flower hooks are all from Pottery Barn Kids.
The lamp is one of the first pieces that I bought for the nursery! That's what started the bird theme and then we pulled pieces from different places so it wouldn't look too matchy matchy!
love it.
The tree is cool!
I love the tree! Is this a wall sticker? If yes, where did you purchase it?
Thanks for the compliment! Unfortunately it is not a sticker. My husband painted the tree!
When you look at Emily's room you can feel the love her parents have for her and the dreams they wish for her future! Great job guys!
Sweet without being cloying. Love it!
Thanks for the color ideas. Painted my daughter's room with the pinks this weekend and it turned out great!!

Chicago Bears vs Dallas Cowboys Sun. Sept. 19th 1pm EST
The Dallas Cowboys got a huge wakeup call in Week 1 when they fell at the hands of Donovan McNabb and the Washington Redskins in an NFC East division showdown 13-7, but in Week 2 they will be looking to bounce against the Chicago Bears.
The odds on this match-up show the Cowboys at -8.5 by leading online sportsbooks, but that may go down a bit by this weekend.
Even though the Chicago Bears aren't exactly considered to be a major threat in the NFC Conference this season, they played pretty well in their win over the Detroit Lions as quarterback Jay Cutler got back to form with 372 passing yards, two touchdowns and just one interception.
The biggest surprise in this NFC North battle was Bears running back Matt Forte who finished 151 receiving yards and 50 rushing yards with two touchdown catches. This was a big boost for the Chicago Bears as Forte struggled all year long last season and it seems that when the star running back gets going so does Jay Cutler.
Unfortunately, even though it is just Week 2, this will be a must win situation for the Dallas Cowboys as the pressure will be on from here on out as the rumors about the job security of head coach Wade Phillips will be heating up once again.
Even though I believe this game could turn out to be a barn burner with quarterbacks Tony Romo and Jay Cutler going back and forth all day long, in the end the Dallas Cowboys will be the team to come out on top if their offensive line can protect Romo in the pocket from the likes of linebacker Brian Urlacher and defensive end Julius Peppers.
So despite this game possibly being a high scoring affair, the Dallas Cowboys will be looking to get back to form as jobs will be depending on it. For the best in NFL football betting, trust Bodog, a leader in online sports wagers.

Need help on how to re-vamp an out of date large ottoman.
Danette Duprey
February 1, 2013 in Design Dilemma
My living room set came with a very large dark brown ottoman that needs...something, to it. Any ideas?

Without seeing the room, I would say remove it from the area, if you can use it somewhere else, fine. It is just a tufted leather overload. If you have the space, add it onto the open end for more seating. Add 2 small glass (for lightness) tables to use as a place to set a glass.

Don't know what your tables measurement is, but here's a link to purchase individual glass tops. http://www.dullesglassandmirror.com/store/24-inch-round-14-thick-flat-polished-tempered-glass-table-top-24RD6MMFPTEM.aspx

Add chrome upholstery tacks around the bottom.
February 2, 2013 at 11:41AM Like
Since it is the right size to reach all the seating, consider slip covering it in a very (very) heavyweight fabric or like soft rug like a Kilm in colors that work with your decor or serve as a springboard to it. Don't rush the decision as it may take a while to find just the right piece to cover it with. If the fabric is rug like (easy to put feet on without pushing off the ottoman), it can just be a "box cover" that drips over and is tacked or stapled underneath to anchor.
There are probably inexpensive options to bring home and test from Ikea, Pier One or Cos Plus. One you home in on type of look and colors, you can check other options with confidence. Then add the tray to corral items like the remotes and add pillows in colors to pick up the ottoman colors.

One simple solution is to buy a large tray for the top. I would suggest round to break-up the angles of the sectional and ottoman. Depending on the rest of your room, you could add a nice accent without a lot of trouble.

Reupholster it in a fun fabric so it becomes a character piece, preferably a print and find a simple solid colored area rug to cmpliment it. OR simply find an over sized silver/chrome tray and accessorize it.

The perfect fit of the ottoman to the sofa appeals to my OCD sensibilities. Break up the landscape of leather with a throw, pillows and accessories. The suggestions to change the ottoman fabric are great. A large framed mirror or ready made frame customized on the cheap with wallpaper inside can be converted to a tray with the addition of handles.

Political Wrangling
GMO Food Label Bill Got Canned on Election Day but Don't Give Up Hope
I was terribly disappointed after election day. No, not because Romney lost. (Obama, W00T!) I was disappointed that California's Proposition 37 lost. This was the law that would make it mandatory for food companies to label foods that contain genetically modified ingredients.
Well crap. What do people have against getting more information?
That was my first thought. But after reading a bit more, I don't think this was about willful ignorance. I think this was about Goliath smashing David with a giant money stick. Some people will pay almost anything to keep you from knowing what's really in your food.
I was naive. I really thought Proposition 37 would pass. I couldn't vote on it, of course, because I don't live in California. But I sure was rooting for it to win -- and now I wish I'd done more to help. I do want genetically modified foods to be labeled. I think we need to know what's in our food. And that so much money was spent to defeat this proposition implies to me that biotech companies have something they desperately want to hide.
Monsanto, grocery manufacturers, and agriculture firms blew $46 million on a media blitz that told voters Prop 37 would be too expensive and bureaucratic.
Well this fight is not over. Same-sex marriage has been defeated again and again. And guess what? This year was different. Gay marriage was passed in three states this week. And someday, the "right to know" and "label it!" food movement will also reach the tipping point. Our food will get properly labeled. We'll just have to keep working on it. And in the meantime, I'm renewing my pledge to buy and eat non-GMO foods as much as possible.
Were you following Prop 37 in California? How would you have voted?

This is shit. The government make pizza a food group and cans Prop 37; do people really think they give a shizz about "the People's" health & well-being?
On the + side, it's not that difficult educate yourself on non-GMO foods and to read labels; I live in the Midwest and my family eats a 100% organic/non-GMO diet. It's tough (especially having to drive 45 minutes just to get a damn organic beat after October), but it's doable.

AkashaGermaineNovember 8, 2012 at 6:41 PMI voted no on this one. Not Bexar see I don't want to know ways in my food but because of the language of the prop. We don't need the lawsuits and food cost increase this bill would have brought. When the writers can

AkashaGermaineNovember 8, 2012 at 6:43 PMCome up with proper language that will guarantee that my already strained budget doesn't go up because of the prop then yeah, I'll back it 100 %. Sorry hit submit on accident.

Blueshark77November 8, 2012 at 9:25 PM
I like the idea, but not the execution in this case. Certain foods were exempt and the cost of food would likely go up, and now is not the time for people to pay more for necessities.

The cost of food would not have gone up. That was Monsanto propaganda and it obviously worked, along with other disgusting lies and trickery. Monsanto is the most evil corporation to ever exist. I am so disappointed this did not pass.
- -- Nonmember comment from
AnnaNovember 9, 2012 at 12:59 PMI voted no. It's not that I'm against things being labeled as genetically modified, I was just against this particular proposition. You should see the list of exemptions written in this prop. Meat, dairy, eggs, food sold in restaurants, food sold for immediate consumption, food labeled as "certified organic", etc. They claimed that all this could be fixed after the proposition passed. Why not just get it right the first time? That's why I voted no.

Latest Player Updatesclose
John Rodriguez
Sun Jun 8, 2008 8:57 am Mets signed outfielder John Rodriguez and assigned him to Triple-A New Orleans.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rodriguez spent a ton of time in the Yankees' farm system early in his career, then hit .298 in 332 at-bats for the Cardinals between 2005 and 2006, The Rays signed him this offseason, but preferred Eric Hinske as their fourth outfielder coming out of spring training. It's hard to see him getting a legitimate shot with the Mets, but he provides a nice bat off the bench.
Sat Mar 29, 2008 8:40 am Rays told OF John Rodriguez, OF Jon Weber, 1B Chris Richard, SS Andy Cannizaro, C Mike DiFelice and RHP Scott Munter that they will report to Triple-A Durham.
Fantasy Source Spin: No big surprises here. Cannizaro's injuries hampered his chances of making the Rays as a utility infielder and obviously the Rays like Eric Hinske over John Rodriguez as the fourth outfielder. The Rays final round of cuts will come Saturday.
Source: Tampa Tribune
Fri Jan 4, 2008 2:17 pm Rays signed outfielder John Rodriguez and infielder Andy Canniazaro to minor league contracts and invited them to spring training.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rodriguez, who hit .298/.378/.434 in 332 at-bats for the Cards between 2005 and 2006, is an excellent pickup. He could be needed early on with the Rays set to rely on Rocco Baldelli and Cliff Floyd to fill spots. Cannizaro was up briefly with the Yankees in Sept. 2006. The 29-year-old hit .295/.378/.404 in 166 at-bats in Triple-A last season. He'll compete for a utility role.

Long Hallow Reservoir
June 19, 2014--Ceremony marks completion of Long Hollow dam (Durango Herald)
A ceremonial load of dirt was dumped Thursday to mark the end of construction of the Long Hollow dam here. The brief topping-out observation was attended by members of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, which helped fund construction, and Brice Lee from La Plata Water Conservancy District, which sponsored the project.
May 21, 2013--New reservoir to give farmers a breather (Durango Herald)
In this arid corner of La Plata County, the trite observation that every drop of water counts is more than a cliché. It's gospel. It's logical then that the dam under construction a mile or two south of here to hold back water against hard times is a popular project.
April 10, 2012--Long Hollow Project is many years overdue (Cortez Journal)
The agreement between Colorado and New Mexico that governs how water on the La Plata is shared is the La Plata River Compact, established in 1922. It is the oldest compact in the state.
February 19, 2012--County's thirsty land to be quenched, soon (Durango Herald)
Brice Lee is smiling. The approval of an escrow agreement allows the La Plata Water Conservancy District to break ground on the Longhollow Reservoir. "It's been 15 or 20 years," Lee said Friday.

Last time on The Power He has Not:
Grounds ¼ miles from Front Gate:
May 25th 13:14 pm
Lavender Brown hugged the ground as she had been told. What she did not know was that her latest Hairstyle, a retro 'beehive' style was high enough to be in a partial line of sight with the killing ground. The thermal pulse from the explosion lit her hair on fire. Pavarti saw what happened, and cast a quick 'aguamenti' spell to douse the flames. Lavender was unhurt, but her hair was almost completely gone.
Hermione started to scream hysterically. Her link to Harry was gone, she watched in horror as her ring, her link to Harry dissolved away into nothingness.

Site of the Battle
Killing Ground:
May 25th 14:36
Ron kept moving, if he stayed too long in one place he was likely to become ill. He was trying to think of the bodies at his feet as anything but bodies. The Explosions had thrown bodies and parts of bodies everywhere. Riddle had been found almost immediately his body on one side of the field, his head on another, unburned for some reason. So far, 6 survivors had been found and were in the hands of the Ministry Aurors who showed up, as usual, too late.
The first thing the Aurors did was order everyone out of the killing grounds to 'preserve evidence.' They were ignored. Then one of the Aurors (the same one who asked if Susan might not have led her attackers on back in September. Coincidence?) laid hands on Neville to force him off the field. The Auror was hit by 19 different hexes simultaneously. Luckily Auror Shacklebolt showed up before a new war broke out between the Aurors and the DA.
It was Tonks who finally found him. The Goblin Mail had burnished badly in the heat, but had protected him from the firestorm. His boots still smoked, his face was charred but recognizable, the cowl of the mail fell back as she lifted him and his hair was exposed in all of its trademark mess.
Ron refused to believe it until he tugged off the gauntlet on the right hand. He completely lost his composure when he saw the final damnable evidence. The blood quill scars on the back of his hand clearly read 'I will not tell lies'.
Composing himself, he took his friends body from the sobbing woman. Has he always been this light? How could someone so strong be so light? There would be no apparition. No portkey. Harry Potter had made his last trip as a living man by nothing more than the strength of his body. He would make his last trip as the Hero that saved them all by the strength of the body of Ron Weasley.

Lavender's hair was already growing back, Madam Pomfrey said that it would be back in all its glory by dinner tomorrow. Lavender shooed Pavarti away to join Padma and Hannah in consoling Hermione. Susan came running in.
"They've found him." She wrapped Hermione in a hug. "I'm sorry Hermione, he's gone. The Ministry tried to take him, Ron has him and is bringing him back to the castle. The DA is holding the Ministry goons off for now."
Hermione nodded dully. Madam Pomfrey had given her a dose of an especially strong Calming draught. It was hard to think. "Dobby"
There was a pop and the diminutive elf stood before her. "Yes Hermione Potter?"
The girls noticed the surname change and looked at her closely.
"Dobby, could you please go to Gringotts? Tell the manager of the Potter vaults that I need my parents as soon as possible please."
"Dobby do that Hermione Potter" and he disappeared with another pop.

May 27th
A knock at the door interrupted the morning meal. Draco excused himself from the table and answered it. There waiting a goblin in a muggle suit.
"G'Day, might you be Daniel Granger?"
One of the few bits of wisdom from his father that Draco had taken to heart was 'always be polite to the Goblins. They control access to your money'. "No sir, he's having breakfast, would you come in?"
Draco lead the Goblin to the table where his mother and the Grangers had stopped eating and were looking at the small being with interest. "This is Daniel Granger sir. Mr. Granger, this is?"
"Oi, we're not all that formal herebouts Mate, my handle'd be Oddbit. I'm here at the request of the 'ome office. Lady Potter asked that we get you lot 'ome as soon as possible."
"Lady Potter?"
"Surprised us too, twernt no Lady Potter until two days ago, now there is. We got this portkey, should take you right to the 'ome office."
The Three adult looked to each other in confusion.
"All of us, or just her parents?" asked Draco.
Oddbit shrugged, makes no difference to me, the 'ome office didn't specify, but unless you're wantin to stay, it's an 'ell of a lot faster than one of those aeroplane things." Oddbit reflected for a second "Oh, I forgot to say there was a message. 'Voldemort is dead.' We were all wondering at the Brisbane office, who is he?"
"No one of any importance. I think we'll get ready to go. Cissy? Draco? Are you coming as well?"
"I think we shall Daniel, thank you."
"Just grab what you really need, the bank will take care of the rest of it for you, all part of the service for our best customers."
"Thank you Oddbit" said Emma as she went to pack to see her daughter.
Site of the Battle
Killing Ground:
May 28th
It had been decided, somewhere, by someone that Harry would be buried at the site of the final battle. Professor McGonagall had transfigured a large stone that Hagrid had his brought in into an 8-foot tall obelisk. On each side Hermione engraved a verse. The obelisk was covered with a tarp to wait its official unveiling at the official ceremony. Other than the time she spent on the obelisk, Hermione had spent almost every moment with her parents. The headmistress came to her asking if she would address the audience at the ceremony. Hermione begged off.
"Ron will do it. It will be quite memorable." Offered Luna.
"Luna, I don't speak in public!"
"For Harry?"
"Damn it… sorry professor. All right, I'll do it.

5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
Halozyme Therapeutics
Another stock that insiders are finding attractive here is biotechnology and drugs player Halozyme Therapeutics (HALO), which develops and commercializes various products for patient care. Insiders are sniffing out some deep value here, since this stock is down by over 35% so far in 2012.
Halozyme Therapeutics has a market cap of $649.97 million and an enterprise value of $534.48 million. This stock trades at a premium valuation, with a price-to-sales of 15.70 and a price-to-book of 9.19. Its estimated growth rate for this year is -178.9%, and for next year it's pegged at 15.1%. This is a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $102.04 million and its total debt is zero.A director just bought 20,000 shares, or about $113,000 worth of stock, at $5.70 per share. From a technical perspective, HALO is currently trading below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock recently gapped down big from around $9 to a low of $3.86 a share with monster volume. Following that gap down, shares of HALO have rebounded sharply to its current price of $5.77 a share. That move is quickly pushing HALO within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. If you're in the bull camp on HALO, then I would look for long-biased trades once this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $6.17 to $6.23 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that's near or above its three-month average action of 1.1 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then HALO will have a great chance of re-filling that gap and possibly trending back toward $7 to $9 a share. Keep in mind that you can buy HALO off weakness, and then simply use a stop just below $5.55 to $5.33 a share. On the flip side, I would avoid HALO or look for short-biased trades if it fails to trigger that breakout soon, and then drops below some major near-term support at $5.55 to $5.23 a share with heavy volume. If we get that action, then HALO could easily trend back toward its recent low of $3.86 a share.

Phillies strand fewer but again come up losers
September 10 2006
August Wilson famously wrote, "There are always and only two trains running." One of them plowed through the Phillies this afternoon. I didn't catch the license plate, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't life.
Dontrelle Willis stymied the Phils today, throwing a three-hit shutout while striking out 12. The D-Train was awesome, but the Phillies batters have been pretty sytmiable of late. The Phillies offense just can't get it going and the Phils are fading in the chase for the Wild Card. Despite the heroics of Ryan Howard the Phillies have now scored three or fewer runs in six of their last seven.
The Phillies lost to the Florida Marlins today, falling 3-0 to drop to 72-71 on the year. The four-game set with the Fish that looked so critical ends in a split after the Phillies took the first two games.
Cole Hamels got the start for the Phillies and had a rough day. He went just four innings, allowing two runs on six hits and five walks. Just one of the hits went for extra-bases, a double.
Hamels walked the leadoff man Hanley Ramirez after getting ahead of him 0-2. Dan Uggla followed with a single, sending Ramirez to second. Miguel Cabrera was next and he singled, scoring Ramirez to put the Fish up 1-0 as Uggla went to second. Hamels walked Willingham to load the bases with nobody out. Wes Helms was next and he hit a fly ball into center that was deep enough to score Uggla from third and make it 2-0 Florida. Hamels struck out Cody Ross for the second out and got out of the inning when Alfredo Amezaga popped to right to end the inning.
Matt Treanor singled to lead off the second. Willis tried to bunt him to second, but the Phillies got Treanor at second with Willis safe at first. Ramirez singled, sending Willis to second. A wild pitch charged to Hamels moved the runners up a base, to second and third with one down. Hamels struck out Uggla for the second out of the inning, and walked Cabrera intentionally to load the bases. Willingham grounded to first to end the inning.
Wes Helms led off the third with a single, but Hamels got Ross to ground into a double-play and Amezaga to ground to second to end the inning.
Hamels got Treanor to pop out to short to start the fourth before walking Willis. Ramirez followed with a double to left that sent Willis to third with one down. Uggla hit a ground ball back to Hamels and Cole made a nice play, throwing Willis out at home for the second out. Hamels struck out Willingham to end the inning.
Ryan Madson came in for the fifth down 2-0 and threw a 1-2-3 inning.
Madson returned for the sixth and Treanor led off with a double. Willis bunted him to third. Ramirez was next and hit a looping fly ball into shallow right field. Conine did a great job to get to the ball and lay out to make a diving catch. Treanor stayed at third and was left stranded when Uggla grounded to Rollins to end the inning.
Cabrera led off the seventh with a single and went to third on a double by Willingham. Helms hit a sac fly to left, scoring Cabrera from third and putting the Marlins up 3-0. Madson hit Cody Ross, putting runners on first and second with one out. With the switch-hitter Amezaga at the plate, Manuel called on Fultz, who was pitching in his first game since absolutely hammered in his last three appearances at the end of August. Amezaga hit a shot to second -- Utley made a little hop and snagged it, doubling Willingham off of second to end the inning.
Fultz winds up with a nice looking line for the game -- two outs without allowing a baserunner. He did not inspire a lot of confidence, however.
Rick White started the eighth and retired the first two men he faced. Ramirez was next and he singled and stole second base. Uggla flew out to Conine to end the inning.
The Phillies lineup against lefty Dontrelle Willis went (1) Rollins (2) Victorino (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Conine (6) Burrell (7) Coste (8) Nunez. Nunez is back in there against a lefty, which is a bad decision unless Hernandez is hurt. Burrell is struggling terribly, 1-for-his-last-17 coming into the the game, but he's just a better hitter than Conine against lefties and should be hitting fifth.
The Phillies went 1-2-3 in the first.
Ryan Howard led off the second with a single and Conine followed with a walk. After a miserable night last night, Burrell struck out for the first out of the inning after chasing a pitch that was way out of the strike zone on a 3-1 pitch. Coste was next and he struck out as well. Nunez flew out to right to end the inning.
Victorino was hit by a pitch with two outs in the third, but Utley struck out to end the inning.
In the top of the fourth, Howard led off and singled on a ground ball to short against the Marlins shift. Conine followed and grounded into a double-play. Burrell struck out to end the inning.
Still down 2-0 in the fifth, Nunez singled with one out but Sandoval pinch-hit for Hamels and grounded into a double-play.
The single in the fifth was the last baserunner the Phillies would manage. Willis set them down 1-2-3 in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth.
Rollins 0-for-4. Victorino 0-for-3 and hit by a pitch. Utley was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts.
Howard was 2-for-3 with two singles.
Conine 0-for-2 with a walk. Burrell 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.
Coste 0-for-3 and struck out three times. Nunez was 1-for-3 with a single.
No game tomorrow. Randy Wolf against Kyle Davies on Tuesday in Atlanta.

Woman's exceptional care, centered on you
Your Recovery: Activity After Going Home
After going home, you may continue activities performed after surgery during your hospitalization.
General Activities
Have a common sense approach to activity. The general rule to follow is "If it hurts, don't do it."
- Plan on resting and lying down several times during the day when you first go home. Have short periods of activity followed by periods of rest. Ask your doctor if you can do other exercises.
- Limit stair climbing for the first few days after surgery. If you have stairs in your house, plan ahead so you have to make only one to two trips per day up and down the stairs.*
- It is most helpful to gradually increase your activities of daily living. Do not try to return to all responsibilities at one time.
- Ask your doctor when you can drive and begin your other normal activities.
- Do not do heavy housework, grocery shopping, or take long outings without your doctor's permission. Do not lift heavy objects, including toddlers!
- Resume sexual intercourse only after you have discussed this with your doctor.*
- Breast surgery patients should not lift more than 5 pounds.
* Not applicable to breast surgery patients.
After going home you may continue with the approved exercises you performed during your hospitalization. Consult your physician before beginning an exercise program. For additional information on wellness programs offered at the Woman's Center for Wellness call 924-8450.

Product FeaturesThis Lutron dimmer is designed to work with many DIMMABLE LED and CFL bulbs. See bulb compatibility list at Documentation tab.
- Generally, our tests show that these CL (CFL/LED) dimmers work on DIMMABLE high quality LED bulbs, except for MR16 bulbs.
- Credenza CL lamp dimmer has no low end trim control. It operates similar to the Diva and Skylark Contour, except that it is factory-set not to go as low as the Diva and Skylark because it has no low-end trim control. Lutron has made the judgment that removing the difficult low-end, with its concomitant balky behavior on some bulbs, is more important than allowing the deeper dimming available in certain circumstances on more expensive wall-mount CFL/LED or electronic dimmers.
- Simply plug the dimmer into the wall. Plug your lamp into the back of the dimmer plug. The slide dimmer switch is at the end of a 6-foot cord.
- 100 watts capacity.
- Single pole lamp dimmer.
- Features slide dimmer with soft click off at one end.
- Standard RFI suppression.
- UL and CSA listed.
- 1 year manufacturer warranty.
- Wall plate is not included.
- White (-WH)
- Black (-BL)
- Brown (-BR)
ApplicationsThe forward-thinking engineering ensures control of dimmable CFL and LED bulbs today, as well as energy efficient light sources coming out in the future—invest in a dimmer that ensures dimming performance as the light source industry evolves.
Lutron's CL dimmers are for certain LED and CFL bulbs that are made to be dimmable. DO NOT use them on bulbs that are not made for dimming. Performance on inferior dimmable bulbs varies.
We have not had much success with this dimmer using low voltage MR16 track light bulbs. Performance with track bulbs depends on the design of the bulbs, number of bulbs, and design of the (usually very cheap) 10:1 step-down transformer in the track head. The net result on MR16 LED bulbs is usually that almost no dimming occurs, in our experience with these CL dimmers. For MR16 track bulbs, our published results show the best performance on electronic low voltage dimmers, which is counter-intuitive, given the inductive characteristics of the step down transformer (one would expect magnetic dimmers would perform better); apparently the capacitive load of the bulb dominates the circuit in most cases, favoring the ELV dimmer. That's our theory anyway.

If you are thinking about changing the locks in your home, you are probably concerned about how much the entire project is going to cost. The cost of changing the locks in your home is going to vary according to locksmith alexandria. The costs are going to depend on how many locks you want to change, the level of security that you are interested in, and the fees that you will pay for a local locksmith to do the work for you.
If you would simply like to have the front and back door locks changed, you should probably plan to spend between $50-$100 for this project. This is going to depend on where you buy the locks and how easy they are to install. Some people decide to do a simple project like this on their own. However, having a professional do this kind of work can save you a lot of time and it can also save you a lot of hassle. You do not have to figure out how to do the work on your own and you will not have to buy the tools that are required to do the project.
You will have to consider the amount of security that you are interested in having in your home. There are some locks that are fairly simple, but they do not provide a high level of security. You can you can do your own research or you can speak with a san diego locksmith to see the various locks that are available on the market today. Some people decide to go with a higher security lock for their front door, since this is the place that is easiest to access. Most backyards have some other kind of protection, like a fence, and so a high-security lock is not always necessary. You can consider various things, like the crime rate in your neighborhood, when deciding how much security you would like to have. Most people would agree that it is usually best to spend money now on high-security locks, instead of regretting it later if they are the victim of a break in.
You can call a local locksmith to find out how much they charge to do various jobs, like install new locks. They may charge a flat rate or they may charge per hour. This is something that you will want to calculate in the total cost that you will have to pay for the project.

A brief synopsis: Powell and Clark landfills will close in September to municipal solid waste — household garbage — because of state efforts to consolidate landfills in Wyoming and new lining and monitoring requirements. Meeteetse's landfill closed two years ago.
Also in September, Powell city officials hope to begin building a garbage transfer station to temporarily store garbage before it's hauled to the regional lined landfill in Cody. However, the city transfer station will only process trash from city residents. The Park County Commission declined to join Powell's transfer station plans.
So, back to the problem facing municipalities and rural residents alike: How do we get trash to Cody?
Commissioners are leaning toward providing roll-off bins at the Clark site and may do the same for Powell — on the condition that users' rates increase to cover the added cost of the service.
We encourage commissioners to provide this needed service for rural county residents by giving them an obvious place to take their trash when landfills close.
Roll-off bins make sense for Powell and Clark. County staff will still be at both sites, because neither landfill is closing completely. While they will stop accepting household trash, Powell and Clark landfills will continue to accept other waste, such as construction and demolition materials.
Since county staff will already be at the sites, they will be able to monitor bins without any additional payroll costs.
Roll-off bins also could help reduce illegal dumping. With increased garbage rates and spiking fuel costs, we worry more people will dump trash in ditches, on hillsides or in other places where it does not belong.
While county commissioners are key to solving local landfill problems, the burden rests on all of us.
Residents must be part of the solution.
If you don't already, get in the habit of sorting everything you throw away.
After closing to household waste in September, Powell and Clark landfills will still accept some materials, such as asphalt, drywall, plaster, paperboard, sod, textiles and wood pallets.
Recycle everything that can be reused.
Now is the perfect time to get into the habit. Powell Valley Recycling announced last week that it will accept more items. At its new expanded facility west of Powell, the center now accepts pressed board (including cardboard boxes used for cereal, shoes, crackers, beer or shirts), plastic film (such as shrink wrap or dry cleaner bags) and propane cylinders (often used for camp stoves).
When you drop off items at Powell Valley Recycling, remember the Habitat for Humanity ReStore across the road. The ReStore accepts building materials, household furnishings and other home improvement supplies.
By taking tile, windows, doors and other home items to the ReStore, you save yourself tipping fees at the landfill — and you keep usable materials from wasting away in the landfill.
Recycling also will help lengthen the life of the new lined regional landfill in Cody.
As Powell Valley Recycling Manager Mary Jo Decker noted last week: "You look at all the things we're taking, and there's not a whole lot left in your garbage can if you recycle. Our landfill is going to close. We're trying to give people the opportunity to take responsibility for their waste."
We urge residents to take responsibility and recycle — it may take some extra time, but it's well worth the effort in the long run.

Why was it that you were so shy?
I have time and again crossed your path
Have I wasted my time trying to catch your eye?
When we were together we didn't do much
We laughed together, but reserved our space
Modern dancing can be subtle,
But gone is the closeness of touch
Expressing feelings in my dreams
Wasting away life in fantasy
It could never become a reality
In all those feelings there were promises,
All trapped in realms of imagination
Being free to go, or do as they please.
After all these years we drift apart.
All because,
Of our shyness,

Hospital ERP
The advantages offered by enterprise resource planning (ERP) software based business solutions have been familiar to many large business owners and CIOs for over fifteen years now. ERP software solutions were first developed in the manufacturing sector to allow the streamlining and standardization of database access and software applications. Manufacturing firms required a way to integrate all of their software platforms responsible for the scheduling and transport of raw materials. Manufacturing businesses experienced a high rate of return on their ERP implementation investments. Once new systems had been installed to replace outmoded and isolated legacy systems, error rates improved, efficiency controls were tightened, communication became easier, and asset management experienced revolutionary advances. It wasn't long before other industry sectors began seeing the advantages of ERP systems as well.
ERP business solutions are now well known and quite common in businesses ranging from energy to retail to food and beverage distribution. But what about hospital ERP systems?Hospital ERP solutions experience some obstacles to integration based on the fundamental differences between the business models of patient care and manufacturing. Hospital decision making works better without an excess of commodification and standardization, since the best outcomes arise from direct interaction between clients and healthcare providers. Hospital information managers also recognize that in a healthcare system there are as many different solutions as there are patients, and that any hospital ERP system must keep pace with rapidly evolving regulations regarding patient privacy and the effect of these regulations on data storage and control of data access. But hospital ERP software solutions can still work to integrate certain functionalities and software applications that all businesses use, such as human resource management, workload and workflow control, budgeting, accounting and administration.
ERP vendors and providers have not yet made universal inroads into the implementation of hospital ERP systems, but hospital market share is available, so migration into this territory may take place within a short period of time. Hospital ERP advocates would like to see large service providers such as Oracle, Microsoft and SAP applying more development efforts to the customization of their products in order to meet the needs of hospital software systems.
When this takes place, hospital ERP systems will be able to integrate functionalities for healthcare systems, using two and three tier architectures similar to those established for large companies in other sectors. Hospital ERP systems will allow the coordination of multiple departments and functionalities across the enterprise, streamlining scheduling, planning, data control and efficiency for a system in which lives are at stake, not just revenues. When ERP modules can be customized to meet the needs of large healthcare systems, hospitals may experience returns on the initial investment comparable to the returns seen by other industry sectors.
