HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1 - Theatrical review
They were so young, and innocent, and little.
Daniel Radcliffe was 12 when "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" hit theaters in 2001, while his co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were 11 and 13. Through "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (2002), "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (2004), "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (2005), "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (2007), "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (2009), and now the first of two "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" installments, fans have watched these young actors grow up on-camera. They've come of age, and the franchise has matured right along with them.
The first three Potter films, based on the popular book series by J.K. Rowling, were rated PG. But "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" earned a PG-13 rating, as did the next installment. After a brief return to PG-land (no doubt in response to some complaining parents) with "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the final two films followed the same dark trajectory as Rowling's books. And that means PG-13 with a twist. While the films to this point have neatly fit into the fantasy-adventure mold, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1" comes closer to the mystery-thriller genre. It's darker in every single way: visually, emotionally, tonally, and metaphorically.
Hogwarts is nowhere to be seen in "Deathly Hallows," and Voldemort, the evil wizard whose name was not to be mentioned in early installments and who was shown only briefly over the course of the series, gets more no-nose air time this second-to-last film than ever before. In fact, a lot of things that had limited exposure get more air time, like his minions, the Dementors and Death Eaters. And some old familiars--like Dobby and Kreacher, who always reminded me a little of Gollum from "Lord of the Rings"--also get time in front of the camera.
Rowling drew liberally from many sources while crafting this series. You'll recognize Arthurian legend, Greek and Roman mythology, and especially references to Fascism. Young Harry Potter survives an attack by Lord Voldemort, who leads a force of wizards determined to keep wizard bloodlines from mingling with "muggles" or common humans. That, of course, echoes the "Master Race" obsession of Hitler. Harry's parents were part of a group who tried to stand up to Voldemort, and the series charts Harry's discovery by wizards as the chosen one who survived Voldemort's magic, and his subsequent education as a wizard-in-training at Hogwarts, where he meets good friends like Hermoine (Watson) and Ron (Grint). But the forces of evil have gradually been working to gain a foothold again, and each episode has seen an increase in conflict. Dumbledore, the beloved head of Hogwarts, died in the sixth installment. This time more people die. A Hogwarts' teacher is tortured and killed for maintaining that wizards and muggles can interbreed. And the Minister of Magic is killed, replaced by a government that is suddenly and subversively loyal to Voldemort. That makes Harry "Undesirable No. 1," and a wizard who's suddenly in need of protection more than ever before.
The first part of the film concerns the good wizards' attempts too get Harry to safety, because the Chosen One is their only hope for eventually combating the gigantic evil that Voldemort represents. Then it becomes largely a tale of Harry (Radcliffe), Hermoine (Watson), and Ron (Grint) on the lam, but also on a quest. They've been willed objects by the late Dumbledore, and those objects come into play as they try to solve the riddle of a missing locket, a repeating sign, and the legendary Deathly Hallows--three objects that possess the most powerful magic on Earth because they were conveyed by Death itself. It's simple, really: if they solve the riddle, they get the tools to defeat the Lord of Darkness, who has hidden parts of spirit inside horcruxes that the young wizards still must find and destroy.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" is the scariest of the Potter films, in part because of its unrelenting structure. Patterned after horror-thrillers, the film deliberately goes for scare-related tension and pop-up terror. The cinematography and musical backdrop reinforce that emphasis in almost every frame. Always, there's the chance of evil knocking at the door. Or breaking it down. The dark-and-stormy-night palette is fortified by interior scenes that are droop-heavy with shadows. And cinematographer Eduoardo Serra uses more foreshortening and isolated figures in long shots to heighten the sense of loneliness--and one of the first rules of horror-thrillers is to get them alone and away from a crowd. There are considerably more "alone" scenes this outing--quiet moments where we see the characters alone with their thoughts, especially when the three friends are in the forest. If they were tiny again, it might play out like a wizard version of Hansel and Gretel, but Rowling's books change in tone to keep pace with her maturing characters, and the films follow her lead.
Gone are the Hogwarts' fun and games, or the rivalry between Gryffindor and Slitherin. The magic classes are behind them, and the only competition isn't for Quiddich honors. In this final installment, the kids are playing for keeps. How can they not, with an underlying theme of genocide bubbling to the surface? Besides, they're not really kids anymore.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" should please Potter fans. In fact, they might even forgive Warner Brothers for making them wait until July 15, 2011 to see Part 2 in theaters because it prolongs the inevitable. When you've grown right alongside this bunch of young wizards, like the stars themselves you just don't want it to end.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" is rated PG-13, but parents should know that there's really some intense stuff here--blood, included. At some point one of the three main characters just about has his arm ripped off, and if your child was frightened by the Dementors in earlier films, that poor kid is going to be afraid throughout much of this one. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" is for adults and older children, really, or those young ones who've read the books and have some sense of what's coming. It may be the scariest, but it's also one of the strongest in the series. I'd give it an 8 out of 10.

James Rafferty – Light Bearer Ministry
By Dan Whitcomb | Reuters – 19 hrs ago
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A massive cross that serves as part of a war memorial on a San Diego hilltop must be dismantled because it has been found to violate a constitutional ban on government endorsement of religion, a federal judge grudgingly ruled on Thursday.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Larry Burns marks the latest development in a long-running legal battle over the 43-foot-tall cross, a local landmark that has stood on top of Mount Soledad since 1954 and is visible for miles.
Burns stayed his order to give the Obama administration and the association that erected the cross, which have fought its removal all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, a chance to file another appeal. Otherwise, he said, the monument must be taken down within 90 days.
"This is a victory for religious liberty," said Daniel Mach, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's program on freedom of religion and belief who argued the matter for the plaintiffs in a hearing before Burns on Thursday.
"We firmly support the government's efforts to honor the service of those who fought and died for this country, but there are many ways to do that without playing favorites with religion," Mach said.
The case hinged on whether it is legal for a religious symbol to be prominently displayed on public land and whether the cross violated the U.S. Constitution's requirement on separation of church and state.
The Mount Soledad cross has been the subject of litigation since 1989, when two veterans sued San Diego to get it off city land. In 2006, Congress intervened in the dispute, resulting in the federal government taking ownership of the property.
A group of plaintiffs, including the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, then sued. The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals court ruled that the dominance of the cross conveyed a message of government endorsement of religion.
The Obama administration and the Mount Soledad Memorial Association, which erected the cross, appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, supported by 20 U.S. states and various veterans groups in arguing the cross should be allowed as part of the memorial.
In June 2012, the Supreme Court declined to take the case, letting the Ninth Circuit's ruling stand. In ordering that the cross be taken down, Burns said on Thursday he did not agree with the Ninth Circuit's ruling but that his hands were tied.
The cross, located between the Pacific Ocean and a major interstate highway, is surrounded by walls displaying granite plaques that commemorate veterans or veterans groups. Easter services were held annually at the cross from 1954 until at least 2000, according to court documents.
The Mount Soledad Memorial Association, which erected the cross in place of another cross that had stood on that spot since 1913, could not immediately be reached for comment on Thursday's ruling.

Liberty Institute vows to fight to U.S. Supreme Court
Dear Friend of Liberty,
Liberty Institute needs your immediate action in defense of veterans and religious liberty.
On Thursday, a U.S. District Judge ruled for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that the nationally famous Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial Cross overlooking San Diego, California, must be torn down.
Liberty Institute vows to appeal the ruling and fight all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.
We represent the official caretaker of the memorial—the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association—at no charge, through the generous donations of our supporters.
HISTORIC COURT BATTLE AHEAD "The judge reluctantly agreed with a previous ruling by the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that this hallowed veterans memorial must be removed," said Hiram Sasser, Director of Litigation for Liberty Institute.
Sasser was present at the hearing. He said, "We are thankful, however, that the Judge allowed the Memorial Cross to stand as the case is appealed. And we will appeal—all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary. And we are confident we will win."
WHAT IS AT STAKE The outcome of this case touches thousands of other veterans memorials across the nation. If the ACLU can force the government to tear down the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial Cross, where will they stop? What will happen to the 20-foot Canadian Cross of Sacrifice or the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery?
The Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial has stood since 1954 as a symbol of the selfless sacrifice and service of our nation's military. The memorial has a 29-foot Latin cross surrounded by six concentric walls that display the photos, names and diverse religious symbols of our veterans who paid the ultimate price for freedom.
For more than 20 years, this veterans memorial has been the subject of a prolonged lawsuit brought about by the ACLU because of the inclusion of the cross.
WHAT YOU CAN DO Liberty Institute needs your financial support as we appeal and fight this decision. "We are confident we can win, just as we won the Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial case at the U.S. Supreme Court," said Kelly Shackelford, President and CEO of Liberty Institute.
With the support of our donors, we won the Mojave Desert case and kept a memorial cross standing after repeated legal attempts to tear it down.
Thank you for your gift to keep the ACLU from tearing down the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial Cross.
Kelly Shackelford President and CEO
A briefing held at Camp Shelby in Mississippi listed Evangelical Christian groups alongside domestic hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam.
Soldiers at Fort Hood were warned that participating in or donating money to evangelical Christian groups or Tea Party groups could result in military punishment.
Last year an Army Reserve training brief listed Catholics and Evangelical Christians as examples of religious extremism.
"Men and women of faith – who have served the Army faithfully for centuries – have been likened to those who regularly threaten the peace and security of the United States. It is dishonorable for any U.S. military entity to allow this type of improper characterization." — Ron Crews, Executive Director of the Chaplain Alliance For Religious Liberty
The Army repeatedly claims these briefings were isolated incidents where instructors used materials that were not approved by the military.
The English word "forehead" is generally used to refer to the upper part of the face, above the eyes. The original Hebrew and Greek words of the Holy Scriptures also sometimes use the word that way, but more often use the term "forehead" to describe what is foremost inside the head, not merely on, or a part of, the outside surface. The Bible doesn't just use the term "forehead" to describe what is physically foremost inside the head, but what is consciously foremost inside the head, much more like the term "heart and mind" is used today.
Will you choose "the seal of our God in your forehead" or "the image of the beast in your forehead"?
The Hebrew word pronounced may-tsak literally means to be in the clear, or prominently visible, and was sometimes used to refer to the part of the head that was prominent, as in these two examples for Aaron and Goliath, both of which refer to the upper part of their head:
"And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be. And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead [see also Christ's Mitre], that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before The Lord." (Exodus 28:37-38 KJV)
"And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth." (1 Samuel 17:49 KJV)
Along with the literal-meaning examples shown above, may-tsak was also used in a figurative sense, to denote a "hardheadedness" for, or against, God:
"Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed." (Jeremiah 3:3 KJV)
"Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house" (Ezekiel 3:8-9 KJV)
In the New Testament, the Greek word that is translated as "forehead," pronounced met-oh-pon, means the middle of the head – but is consistently used to refer to the "heart and mind" usage. For example, the 144,000 are made so by the "seal of our God in their foreheads"
"Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel" (Revelation 7:3-4 KJV)
"And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads." (Revelation 14:1 KJV)
The infamous "mark of the Beast" that will be "in their right hand, or in their foreheads" will also be a matter of "heart and mind." The mark of the beast will be about thoughts and actions, opposing God's Law, for which they will face God's wrath, while God's true people will have the "seal of our God in their foreheads" to "keep the Commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus"
"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Revelation 13:15-17 KJV)
"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the Commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." (Revelation 14:9-12 KJV)
Those who refuse to receive the mark of the beast in their foreheads will reign with Christ "and his name shall be in their foreheads":
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon [literally, in] their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." (Revelation 20:4 KJV)
"And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the Throne of God [see The Throne Of God, From Heaven To Earth] and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the Throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him: And they shall see His face; and His Name shall be in their foreheads." (Revelation 22:1-4 KJV)

Cell Phone Service Providers Customer and Consumer ComplaintsRead More
ComplaintsList.com allows users to complain about Cell Phone Service Providers companies, businesses, or websites. If a Cell Phone Service Providers company has done something wrong to you submit a consumer complaint today and let the world know to watch our for this company.
News: Cell phone providers topped list of complaints in 2013
A necessity of our modern age, cell phones make our lives more convenient and safe. They have taken much of the frustration out of making plans and coordinating schedules. Where would we be without our cell phones? I don't think any of us want to answer than question.
Unfortunately, like most companies that produce a product that most people rely on, cell phone companies often fall short in the departments of quality and service. Every year, the Better Business Bureau logs tens of thousands of complaints about every major cell phone carrier. Cell phone companies remain among the most complained-about industries in the country. But the sad part is they seem to get away with it more often than not, because, as we said earlier, people need their cell phones. Some might say it's easier to "go with the flow" than to fight for your rights. But if you're on this site, we know you disagree!
Have you had a frustrating experience with a cell phone company or service provider? In lots of cases, the problem starts as soon as you walk into the store. You may see an ad for a "free phone" with a two-year contract, but the phones available are the cheapest, ugliest, lowest-quality phones with none of the features you want. So you pay an additional $200 – $300 (or more) to get a phone you actually want. So much for "free". And as far as the two-year contract is concerned, you'd better not move to another state or change your mind because you'll be stuck with a hefty fee.
Or maybe the salesperson has absolutely no idea what they're talking about, and are unable to answer even the most basic questions. This is probably the result of high turnover and limited job training. Or maybe you're their 57th customer that day and they just don't care. Either way, it's not a good feeling to know you're giving your hard-earned money to a company that seems so indifferent.
Have you ever had a dropped call? Of course you have. For some people, this happens several times a day. In fact, it's expected of any cell phone company – even the best ones. Why do we put up with a product that does not perform how it's supposed to? Would you drive a car that just died out once in a while? Or hire a cleaning crew that left one room dirty? Of course not. Yet, cell phone companies think that we are just going to accept poor service.
When you get your bill, is the amount ever what you expected to see? If you scan the document, often times you'll see a long list of charges that were never discussed or mentioned when you signed up for cell phone service. Emergency 911 taxes, local and state taxes, picture message fees. Of course, the additional charges that are actually useful – like damage insurance – are usually not offered. You have to ask for that, because the companies lose money when you make a claim. Don't let them take advantage of you!
Customer service-related issues are a big problem as well. More often than not, it's difficult to get a solution to a problem on the first call. It usually takes several calls (and lots of hold time) to get any help at all. Customer service agents often give contradictory or misleading information, refuse to direct your calls to supervisors or blame factors outside of their control (like the weather) for the issues at hand.
We should not have to deal with bad service, products that don't work and misleading payment plans. Good consumers vote with their dollars, and by refusing to support companies that repeatedly mistreat their customers, we will ultimately have the last word. Share your story on ComplaintsList and let us help you get justice. Post your cell phone company review now!

We are pleased to offer this silverplated creamer pitcher in the classic Art Deco Noblesse pattern by Community Plate, an early nameplate of Oneida Silversmiths. Community Plate made this and other hollowware to go with the flatware pattern, which was introduced in 1930. The creamer is 5 1/8 inches wide from handle to spout and about 4 7/8 inches tall. It is marked "Community Plate Noblesse." Upon very close inspection, we note some minimal pitting on the interior, mostly around the edges of the bottom and a minimal bit of plate loss on the edge of the handle. We also note that the diamond ornament is not quite as crisp on one side as on the other. The pitcher is otherwise in very good condition, with no other plate loss or damage. Gorgeous! Please ask questions before bidding and be sure and see our listings for the matching sugar bowl and broken coffee pot. We're always happy to combine items for shipment to save you money.

text: The Talk of the Town June 23, 1997 Issue Ink By James Traub View Issue» Ink The New Yorker, June 23, 1997 P. 45 ABSTRACT: Talk story about former Indian Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao's new tell-all book, "The Insider." India has long been viewed as one of of the world's great experiments in democracy. Indians, themselves, however, generally consider their politicians a pack of unprincipled rogues who conceal their treachery behind a screen of vapid Gandhian rhetoric. And the cynics are about to enjoy a delectable vindication, when, this fall, Penguin Books India publishes "The Insider," a transparently autobiographical novel by the 75-year-old former Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao. "It would be as if Bill Clinton wrote 'Primary Colors,'" David Davidar, the book's editor and publisher, gloats. "It's probably going to be the most talked-about book that has come out of India since Independence." Davidar won't disclose any juicy revelations, though he is happy to note that "The Insider" will be full of "sex and corruption"–the twin mainstays of the political expose. Rao, having served under 8 Prime Ministers, including Indira Gandhi and her son Rajiv, is well positioned to tear off whatever bits of drapery still cling to India's political class. In recent years, the country has been beset by a string of payoff scandals reaching up to the Prime Minister's office, and "The Insider" is likely to be littered with clues about those goings on. Indeed, Rao himself has been in and out of the courts in the last few years, dodging allegations that he accepted nearly a million dollars from businessmen and used part of the money to buy off legislators (he denies any wrongdoing)…. It's unlikely that any insider details Rao provides will his readers as much as the fact that he wrote such a book in the first place. During his time in office, from 1991 to 1996, Rao came to be considered the dullest figure ever to guide the country's fortunes… But it turns out that Rao has been pounding away at his steamy novel in secret for 15 years… In October of 1995, an Indian magazine called Outlook provoked a gleeful uproar when it published an excerpt from the work. The passage had a little bit of politics and a lot of sex… It was this kind of passage that persuaded Davidar to give Rao what the publisher describes as one of the largest advances in Indian history–something on the order of 100,000 rupees, or $2800 at current exchange rates. But Davidar wishes it to be known that sex scenes will constitute "a very, very tiny portion" of the finished book. The publisher emphasizes that he considers "The Insider" a serious work by a scholarly man. He says he is sure that all the sex and corruption will be taken "out of context." Indeed, he's counting on it.

Practice Management Companies' Acquisitions of Anesthesia Practices
February 27, 2012
Publicly traded practice management companies (PMCs) and private equity firms are acquiring hospital-based physician practices, including anesthesia practices. While some PMCs have lengthy track records and offer management as well as capital resources, other purchasers have little experience or interest in anesthesia practice management and may be looking merely to flip an acquisition. Compensation and control issues require sophisticated analysis. Groups considering consolidation should look at various strategies, including mergers with other anesthesia practices and joining organizations that will deliver the advantages of size while allowing the anesthesiologists to remain their own employers. ABC is developing one such organization, the ZENITHAnesthesia Practice Network.
Every private anesthesia group in the United States knows that practice management companies (PMCs) in the business of acquiring and operating anesthesia practices are growing rapidly. This is part of a general acceleration in health care merger and acquisition activity driven by healthcare reform and by the economic uncertainty of the last few years. Physician practices have become one of the fastest-growing targets; larger entities such as health systems, insurance companies and PMCs are buying up hospital-based specialties with a view toward participating in accountable care organizations (ACOs) and receiving bonuses for improving quality and decreasing costs.
Hospitalists, whose specialty barely existed twenty years ago, now number more than 30,000. Hospitalists attract the interest of venture capital and expanding corporations because of their role in managing acute inpatient care. Emergency medicine has a long history of PMC partnerships.
Anesthesiologists, as specialists in the management of perioperative care, are likewise attractive candidates for acquisition. Many anesthesiologists: (a) fear being bought, (b) are actively seeking alternative consolidation strategies such as mergers with other medical groups, (c) hope to be bought by the right PMC, or (d) have already been bought. In this overview, we will look at some of the benefits and the risks of acquisitions. In future Alerts, we will consider the benefits and risks of other forms of practice consolidation, in particular mergers with or acquisitions by other anesthesia practices.
Perhaps the best known of the various PMCs focused on anesthesiology is publicly-traded Mednax, Inc. of Sunrise, Florida. Mednax has announced plans to spend some $200 million to acquire more anesthesia practices in 2012, according to an article published by American Medical News on February 21, 2012. The article goes on to state that "The company earned $1.19 per share for the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase from the $1.12 earned in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the $1.07 earned in the fourth quarter of 2009. Revenue grew 9.9% in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with the same quarter in 2010, and operating income went up 6.6%."
Mednax employs more than 1,650 physicians in 33 states and Puerto Rico. Launched in 1979, its original specialty was neonatal, maternal-fetal and pediatric medicine, and Mednax estimates that nearly 25 percent of U.S. neonatologists are by now affiliated with its Pediatrix Medical Group.
Mednax's American Anesthesiology division includes more than 700 anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) and anesthesiologist assistants (AAs). Three of its most well known anesthesia acquisitions were those of Fairfax (Virginia) Anesthesiology Associates in 2007 and of Southeast Anesthesia and Critical Health Systems in North Carolina shortly thereafter. The American Anesthesiology practice lineup also encompasses groups in Florida, Georgia, Texas and New Jersey.
TeamHealth Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, is another publicly-traded PMC that offers business solutions to hospitals either by partnering with existing local physician groups or by recruiting new teams of providers whom it employs. Its traditional focus has been emergency medicine. In 2011, however, it added just two emergency medicine practices while buying a hospitalist group and acquiring the operations of Anesthesia Services, Inc. whose 46 anesthesiologists and 36 CRNAs serve five hospitals and three ambulatory surgery centers in the greater Denver region. In 2010, one of TeamHealth's four medical practice acquisitions was of an anesthesia group.
Most recently, in January of this year, Northern American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA) added New Britain Anesthesia, P.C. (NBA), a medical practice that provides anesthesiology services at hospitals and other medical facilities in central Connecticut, to its growing roster of anesthesia practices.
There are other examples, not just of publicly-traded PMCs purchasing the operations of anesthesia practices, but of private equity firms investing in anesthesia as well. Some private equity companies who now have holdings in anesthesia are Moelis Partners, the Beekman Group, Blackstone Group, DFW Capital Partners, Triton Pacific Capital Partners and Provident Healthcare Partners. Unlike PMCs with years or decades of managing anesthesia practices—or the ZENITHAnesthesia Practice Network; see the final paragraph of this article—these private equity firms may not be able to offer much operational support.
The value proposition for an acquisition is the potential revenue from a financially sound, successful practice that has a solid, established relationship with its hospital or health system but that needs the resources of a deep-pockets partner in order to grow, acquire new technology and negotiate better payments. This is a far cry from the situation where an anesthesia department is providing unsatisfactory service to its hospital, which issues a request for proposals and ultimately awards the contract to an outsourced anesthesia management company. Hospital dissatisfaction with its anesthesia staff most often starts with inadequate anesthesiology leadership. In contrast, a group that attracts a PMC is likely to have strong leadership and a track record of superior clinical service.
Potential Benefits of a Sale to a PMC
An anesthesia practice considering partnering with a PMC will want to explore whether the deal affords some or all of the following potential economic and professional advantages:
- Opportunity to monetize growth and success already achieved (senior members of the group)
- Opportunity for increased income based on performance incentives and/or greater utilization of CRNAs and AAs
- Income and employment security (depending on the structure of the deal)
- Independence from hospital financial support (stipend)
- Leveraged negotiating with payers
- Management infrastructure
- Investment in information technology and data collection/analysis
- Size-related cost efficiencies and purchasing power
- Access to better employee benefits (retirement, health, disability, etc.) at lower cost
- OR management expertise
- Access to risk management, quality management and compliance programs
- Leadership development and compensation opportunities
- Implementation of evidence-based standardized protocols and best practices
- Educational opportunities
- Physicians can focus on practicing medicine
Risks of the Sale
Not every purchaser of a practice is an experienced PMC with the management systems and infrastructure that will enable the group to thrive. The purchaser may have sufficient cash or credit to make the acquisition but it may be a firm new to anesthesiology or even to medicine, with none of the ongoing operational or financial support to keep the practice thriving. The biggest risk of the sale is the nature of the purchaser itself. For a rundown of the many questions the anesthesia group should ask about a potential purchaser, we refer the reader to the excellent paper "What You Need to Know Before You Sign the Contract" prepared by Judith Jurin Semo, Esq. for the 2012 ASA Practice Management Conference. Among these questions are the following:
- Who is the purchaser? Does it have experience in operating anesthesia practices? What is its governance structure? What proportion of its business will the practice constitute? "If the purchaser is new to anesthesia, how can the purchaser be 'sold' to the primary group customers (meaning the facilities at which the group provides services) as a reliable provider?"
- Does the purchaser have the resources to pay the initial cash price as well as any subsequent installments?
- What are the purchaser's long-term plans? Is this a private equity company that plans to "flip" the anesthesia practice?
- Who will run the group once it is acquired?
- How does the purchaser propose to compensate the group on an ongoing basis? Via a bonus pool? Distributed how?
Even assuming that the purchasing PMC has ample experience and resources, the rationale for the acquisition is to make a profit. There is also a significant risk, therefore, that anesthesiologist compensation will decline over time correspondingly, even if the purchase price is a multiple of annual revenues rather than the more typical single year's revenues.
It is also possible that compensation will drop initially but increase later as economies of scale are realized. David Whitten, CEO of Anesthesia Medical Group, PC in Nashville, pointed out cogently in an interesting discussion of PMCs on the MGMA-Anesthesia Administration Assembly listserv on February 22, however, that "we should not assume that it is a given that anesthesiologists' compensation is or will be reduced upon being acquired." Mr. Whitten noted that the efficiency with which the practice is run, the ratio of anesthesiologists to anesthetists, the availability of individual productivity incentives, and the net present value and tax treatment of the acquisition dollars may all operate to protect the incomes of at least the owners of the practice. By and large, these are changes that will yield one-time or declining benefits. Acquisition by a PMC may sometimes be an anesthesia group's best defensive strategy, but it invariably involves sharing profits with another entity.
Candidates for acquisition will want to make use of the most knowledgeable and sophisticated consultants (probably independent, but possibly employed by the practice) in determining the short- and long-term implications for compensation. They will also want to examine such subjective factors as the fit of the various corporate cultures, including the cultures of other anesthesia practices that the PMC may be operating, and their comfort level with the transfer of some control away from the local level and to the larger entity's management.
As Franc Galinanes of North American Partners in Anesthesia stated in his excellent article Anesthesia: The Increasing Consolidation of our Industry, published in the Summer 2011 issue of the Communiqué,
Aggregation as a defensive measure is no stranger to medical practices. We've seen significant consolidation in pediatrics, OB/GYN, urology, large multi-specialty groups and, now, anesthesia. Be it through a merger, joining a larger group, sale to another entity or through other methods, the paradigm is shifting away from the small independent practice towards larger cohesive anesthesia management companies and groups.
Recognizing this shift and the advantages of size, a number of anesthesia practices are consolidating by merging with each other, rather than by selling their operations to a PMC. ABC is working to provide another option and has just completed the formal registration of the ZENITHAnesthesia Practice Network. Zenith is a not for profit corporation that will offer participating groups "cohesion" and as many of the benefits provided by PMCs—group purchasing options, data aggregation and benchmarking, peer-to-peer discussions, relationships and learning opportunities—as Zenith's physician leadership chooses. The future Zenith Board of Directors may decide to take the steps toward integration that will allow collective negotiations with payers and other third parties. This would give Zenith member groups the types of competitive advantages afforded by the best PMCs and "practices without walls"—while they remain legally independent organizations. We look forward to your inquiries.
With best wishes,
Tony Mira
President and CEO

"Ahh, the inhumanity!!"
Advertisement-content continues below
That has been the liberal rallying cry since the 1960's. With a massive liberal majority in Congress in 1965, Lyndon Johnson implemented his Great Society program. It established Medicare and Medicaid to provide healthcare to disadvantaged groups such as the elderly and the poor while expanding Social Security to include things such as welfare benefits.
This is when the War on Poverty began.
With the onset of Obamacare as the fourth entitlement, opposition to it has been attacked with such gems as "Republicans want you to die quickly," or that the Republicans were going to "push Granny off the cliff." Implementing Obamacare was the humane thing to do.
With the three entitlement programs that have been in place since 1965, the question I have is simple – Have they worked? The answer is a resounding no!
Advertisement-content continues below
Liberals are unwillingly to realize that you cannot legislate the poor into success. When poverty becomes comfortable, it goes from being a condition to a way of life. When liberals decided to increase the amount of benefits provided to the poor (which happens every year automatically) because "with a little more help, they will be able to make it on their own" the poor become more entrenched in their entitlement mentality. They will do even less to change any aspect of their life because they are certain that liberals will continue to provide more for them so they can work even less.
Under Obama, poverty has risen to heights never before seen in this country. You see individuals such as this lady voting for Obama because she wants her Obamaphone. One thing to reinforce my point about the entitlement mentality the poor has developed – "…keep Obama as President…he is going to do more…" She is not going to do anything – Obama is.
Then you have this woman who has had 15 children with no means of supporting them, but insists that "someone needs to pay for all my children…for all our suffering." She isn't responsible for having 15 children. She says that someone else is.
The liberals' war on poverty is a resounding defeat.
However, the liberals' solution is not to reform the existing entitlement programs or to eliminate them altogether. No, of course not! Their solution is to create another entitlement program to legislate the poor into success by providing health care so they will not have to concern themselves with it. (FYI – That is what Medicare and Medicaid do already.)
Meanwhile, Obama has also declared that being on food stamps is your right – even if you are illegal. Obama has declared that you are entitled to a house you cannot pay for, higher education (even if you are unqualified), and on and on. He even said that we need to spread the wealth around so that others can be as successful as you while doing nothing.
The next question is also simple – Why did the liberals lose the war on poverty?
Let's start with the fraud, waste, and abuse.

In the beginning of the series, the principal, Roger Dascent, needs a teacher for the worst class in school, 5F. Everyone he asks refuses, until in despair, he asks his secretary, Lauren, "Is there anyone we haven't tried?" She gives him Mr Gormsby's file. Mr Gormsby (played by David Ellis McPhail) is a sexist, bigoted teacher who is a war veteran and carries a cane with him everywhere he goes, being a great believer in corporal punishment.Mr Gormsby isn't Dascent's only problem, though- throughout both seasons, he has to deal with the Teachers' Union members going on strike, a school fire, a teacher/student relationship, the demands placed on him by the local Education Review Office reviewer, his own collapse into insanity, a car bombing, the constant lack of funds, incompetent teachers and the impending doom of Tepapawai's possible merger with the local girl's school. Naturally, once Gormsby enters, Hilarity Ensues.
Tropes for this series include:

Look Cycle Keo 2 Max Road Pedal
Look KEO 2 MAX
Have this pedal on my Tommasini Super Prestige and Trek Madone 6.5. Great release adjustment, larger platform, smooth rotation and low profile design. Stainless insert a big improvement from a wear perspective. Have had NO issues or concerns and would highly recommend this pedal. Ride safe and often.

As of March 26th, 2008; 9:37 the stock is at $25.61. I'd say that is VERY close to $26 a share and has been that we since February 25th. What is Pachter talking about?!
The EA offer was made on February 16th where the stock price was linguishing around $16. The offer was public by the 24th then the shares spiked close to $26 a share where they have been around since. The share price movement is in relation to the EA offer and not to do with Take-Two's believed intrinsic value.
1st of all, who is EA to think that just because they offered T2 all this money they have to accept? Ever think that Take 2 likes being independent? Then this whole hostile take-over tactic that EA pulled was just downright dirty. I wouldn't want to do business with them either. I don't blame Take 2 for waiting upon the release of GTA IV. EA shouldn't be trying to dip into the profits of one of the most popular gaming franchises in gaming and in Take 2's arsenal. So, what if EA retracts their deal or doesn't offer as much later, I think we'll see that GTA IV will single handedly take T2 where they need to be.
Second of all, why would we want to do away with one of the only companies that releases sports titles rivaling EA? That would be just stupid! EA already sickened me with the NFL exclusivity deal and Madden just isn't that great. What happened to competition being the reason the consumers wins? What will encourage EA to create a better product without competition? If we could stop focusing on the financial aspects and focus more on the consumers, then maybe this industry could be even better!
The investors and shareholders are only interested in money. To get a big return in what they've invested in the company. So they're going to sell to EA. Plus if EA walks away the stock of T2 will drop and hit rock bottom. T2 has no other choice now.
All I can say is thank you Take-Two. All EA cares about is making money by selling the same franchise over and over again. Almost all new EA franchises score in the 70's. EA's way is to buy good studios, destroy the studio's independence, and then iterate over and over again the new IP's they now own. If this deal had gone through ALOT of people would have quit T2. Most of all the good devs would have quit for sure. All that makes the games good would be gone leaving only IP's left which EA would have butchered anyway. Just look at how many studio's EA's bought in the last few years, its ridiculous.
"makes more sense for EA than for any other company, primarily because of the synergies from consolidation of the two companies' sports businesses."
Are you kidding me??? consolidation == bye-bye all T2 sports games. T2 would be kicking EA's ass right now if they hadn't taken the NFL license. But now the only choice is Madden and EA no longer has any need to make Madden better. They could just release the same exact game with updated rosters and people would buy it because they want to play with the new players.
*I used to work at EA Tiburon where Madden is made and had to go through thier aquisition of Criterion.
Oh well...Take Two will fall before the juggernaut.
Too bad too because that means EA's sports consolidation will be complete...and thus competition and improvement of their franchises (such as it is) will cease.
C'mon Sony...take some of that 10% better than Xbox360 sales bump and throw your root down (you remember us...we sold all those 'long tail' PS2 units for ya)!
All your base are belong to us! I hope Take-Two implements the Poison Pill if a hostile takeover occurs.

Oh, hi, Tumblr. Sorry for the neglect during the past week, but there are loads of photos coming to make up for it. Gio had come and gone, and I thought maybe the best way to cope with his leaving again was to edit the photos that had accumulated (it was a semi-bad idea, I missed him more).
Anyway, these were taken from atop the Space Needle—the first time I've gone up ever since moving here.

An Attempt at Curing the Sunday Night Blues: It Was a Good Week
I'm a terrible one for the Sunday night blues. I usually feel sad and homesick and anxious … even if I have nothing to dread the following day (which I normally don't!); even if I have something to look forward to (which I often do!). I don't know; it's something that feels hardwired into my brain since, oh about fifth grade. Anyway, sometimes it helps me to look back over the preceding week and remember all the great, fun, sweet, and/or productive moments that happened in life since last week's bout of Sunday night blues. There are always so many of those full-of-grace moments, and this past week there were all of the above and lots that I didn't get snapshots of, like simply sitting in the car with my sister Hillary, talking and watching the snow fall while we waited to pick up Isabella from ballet. Or enjoying a coffee at my friend Debora's house, while our girls played. Or having several great work calls with my latest partner in crime, as we dig into some exciting projects; or starting off my Friday night with a Google Hangout with two of my west coast girlfriends, laughing ourselves silly at how funny we all looked; or cooking and drinking wine with some of our closest friends on Saturday night.
Of course there were crummy, tiring, discouraging moments too. I'm so weary of the cold, and I miss my mom terribly, and worry about her out there in California, so far from us and with such a burden of loss and grief to deal with, and I've been missing our lost girl so so much, my sweet sister Carolyn, dead now for over a year. Impossible. I had one of those days this past week where I just had to get under the covers in the middle of the afernoon and let the grief weigh me down for a while, close my eyes and just give in to the lump in my throat — haven't had one of those in a couple of months now.
Then there were the more mundane blah and unpleasant moments: jeans that suddenly feel uncomfortably snug, disappointment in myself for missing a deadline I really could have made, that goshdarn endless pile of laundry…
But that's what it's all about, right? The crazy game of hokey pokey we call life? So much wonderfulness, so much fun, despite our failings and disappointments and heartbreaks.
So, happy Sunday night, friends. Here's to a week ahead with many fun, unexpected moments of grace and sunshine.

It is sound technology, and for securing a WoW account it is gross overkill.
The difference between bank/government implementations, and the way in which the WoW Authenticators have been bypassed to this point is that blizzard's call-in centers have been far too willing in the past to untie the authenticators from accounts, and provide password reset services for people who do not own the accounts. Hacker calls in, pretends to be you, says their authenticator broke, please disable it. Helpful Blizzard call staff do so and reset password for hacker, hacker cleans you out.
That's not a flaw with the technology, that's a social engineering hack. Blizz has clamped down dramatically on this recently from some things I've read, but it should be your only real concern once you have one of these tied into your account.

To do a backup you need the bootstrap utility program available here:
Droid X2 Bootstrap with Chinese ROM Update Zip - xda-developers
Ignore the part about the Chinese ROM, you just need the APK file.
Once you install it you can check out the
youtube video here
on how to install it. Basically, you just install the apk file, click install recovery, then
plug your phone into a wall charger
and click "recovery mode". The phone will boot into recovery mode.
Then, you can select "backup and restore" and choose where you want to set your backups to either the internal or external SD card. I don't think it matters where, just remember where you put it. Once you do so the phone will perform it's thing and do the backup of your current system. You can then install your custom ROMs. To restore you go through the same process, just choose the right options. Use the vol up and down buttons to navigate and the power button to select the option.
Note: This program is also the easiest way to install the custom ROMs. You just save the ROM zip files to your sd card and then choose the option to install zip from SD card to do your ROM installation. It is always recommended to wipe data and cache first before installing a custom ROM.
Current ROM -
Cyanogen Mod 7.2
Flashing rule to live by: Always remember to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache!

Diabetes: steps forward, falling behind
As part of its 200th anniversary celebration, today's New England Journal of Medicine carries an article called "The Past 200 Years in Diabetes." It describes some of the advances made in understanding and treating this disease, like the discovery of insulin and the development of personal blood-sugar monitors. But it doesn't tell much about how living with diabetes has changed. Just 50 years ago, checking blood sugar and administering insulin were big ordeals, and people with diabetes weren't expected to live more than a few years after their diagnoses. today, it's a cinch to check blood sugar with a quick finger prick, and pen-like devices almost painlessly deliver insulin, and people with diabetes who take care of themselves have almost normal life expectancies. Advances in protecting and treating the heart, eyes, kidneys, and limbs have helped reduce complications from diabetes.

Figuring out your sexual identity, if you do, can be a long process, which is how it was for my friend Heather, who was ultimately rewarded for her many years of trying:
Growing up, I dumped boyfriend after boyfriend and felt absolutely nothing about it. While I occasionally entertained fantasies about my high school's head cheerleader, my failure to feel love, I believed, had nothing to do with my sexual orientation. I wasn't gay, though—I assumed I was just a sociopath (thanks, internet personality quizzes)! In college (and only after many years of therapy), I realized I might actually be a lesbian. My hypothesis went unconfirmed until I met a totally great lady…and froze. What if I made out with her and I didn't feel anything? Then wouldn't I REALLY be a sociopath? But I'm happy to say I went for it anyway, and it was good, and sometimes even great. For the first time in my 20 years, I was present and engaged in a romantic scenario. More important than than anything, I didn't want to cry. (I did want to vom, though. We substituted foreplay with appletinis. Not a good choice).
"What do I even do in bed if I'm not straight?!"
Krista: This question is not so much, "How do queer people have sex?" Na-uh. It's more, well…how don't queer people have sex? We use our fingers, tongues, mouths, legs, genitals, butts, chests, and—most importantly—BRAINS. Fingers, tongues, and toys can go in the various openings, crevices, and sensitive areas on most people, and queer people, like all people, have sex by stimulating some (or all) of these places.
The word "sex" is not defined ONLY by penis-in-vagina penetration—helllllll, no. Sex can mean a lot of things, but best believe: Queer sex, however you're having it, is "real" sex. Nobody can tell me that hours of sweaty, hot, orgasm-after-orgasm mattress sessions with another person don't "count as real sex" because my partner and I are not having penis-in-vagina sex.
Lola: Queer sex can include P-in-V, too—it just doesn't have to. When a similar question was posed on the reality show The Real L Word, roughly two dozen lesbians gave roughly two dozen answers. This controversy culminated in Autostraddle developing this excellent "Is It Sex?" flowchart:
But promise us you're not going to do any of these things unless you have consent from your partner! Everybody involved needs to be 100 percent on board with what is about to happen, and stay there as it happens. You don't want to look for the absence of a "no" from your partner, you want to look for a "FUCK YES." But how do you know if you have enthusiastic consent from your partner? Amy Rose just wrote an incredible essay on this very thing, and Krista and I will model it for you right now!
Lola: Krista, I'm so excited to be DOIN' IT with you for educational purposes. I can't believe that we chose matching sheer pink nightgowns! And yet…I can.
Krista: Lola! SO THRILLED to be goin' at it with you in demo form as well! You look stunning in pink, my dear. Here are some sensual finger foods, such as grapes and Gushers-brand fruit snacks, for us to snack on.
Lola: I consume these delicacies with gusto. Now, perhaps we may consume each other. Would you like to get started?
Krista: Yes, darling. [...Time passes...] OK: We have now been making out for hours on your cheetah-print couch, and I have rubbed my face raw on your ruby lips. I have a feeling you'd like to take things to the next level. I am aching to have sexytimes with you, but I have never done this before.
Lola: Luckily, we've talked beforehand about how you've never really hooked up with a girl before, since the best time to deal with any sort of negotiation is before the decision is required. I got a good sense of what your boundaries are, as well a ton of hot ideas, from that conversation (which I prepared for by checking out this sex-based checklist/worksheet).
Krista: [Pops Gusher into mouth and chews in a sensuous manner] I love how well we communicate. But, honestly, I'm still a little nervous.
Lola: So am I, because I approach each new person—actually, every new sexual encounter—the same way: with as few assumptions as possible about what the other person might like or want. Beyond a possible slight advantage in technical fluency/muscle memory, my sexual experience doesn't really matter. Krista… you matter. What do you like? Talk to me about what you want me to do for you right now.
Krista: …I'm not sure? I dunno…um…OK I FEEL STUPID HELP ACKKKK [Starts freaking out and shutting down]
Lola: Yo, Krista, I can tell you're into me and want to consummate our demonstration, but even though you're not saying no, you're not saying yes, and just "letting" me do something isn't giving consent. Are you OK? Do you want to keep kissing for a while?
Krista: Oh, Lola. I'm so glad you checked in with me. It's not that I don't want to move into the possible glorious fingerbanging/passionate oral sex portion of our demo session, but I'm hesitant to say what I want out loud—I might need some time. Kissing you would be just perfect for now!
