Looking for Montana first time home buyer grants? You can find a complete listing of grants for home buying in Montana below.
So, you are considering the purchase of a home in Montana. Purchasing a home in any state is an exciting prospect! Exciting and sometimes daunting!
However, don't let yourself become downhearted with the process.
You want to know your credit score and determine if you need credit repair before proceeding.
Unfortunately, without a credit score of at least 580, you will not be able to qualify for those low down payment programs like the FHA 203b loan that works so well with the various grant programs out there. You want to be able to qualify for these programs and with a higher credit score, you'll qualify for a better interest rate as well.
If you think you are ready, be sure to get a mortgage that works with the various grants or programs for home buying out there.
With so many lenders to choose from, you want to be sure and select the right one.
It is my plan to give you some useful information in this article about first time home buyer grants which will help you with this exciting and much sought after venture.
Discover the money hand shake with home mortgage grants.
If you need help estimating your mortgage closing costs, check out this FREE closing costs calculator by clicking here.
To begin with, unfortunately, the State of Montana does not offer a
Montana first time home buyer grant program for its residents. But there are some programs available that can assist.
First, there are a couple of organizations who do offer assistance. One is called the NeighborWorks Montana (NWMT). They offer various programs that can help. Some of them may be deferred loans.
Both these programs have limitations that you should investigate. All in all they are very helpful to residents of Montana.
There is also the "Score Advantage Down Payment Assistance Program (DPA)." This program is designed to help those who don't have the funds needed for the down payment or closing costs. It can provide up to $6,500 in assistance for those who qualify. This is a loan so it will need to be paid back.
If you would like to investigate the requirements for these programs, click here.
However, the good news is that the federal government does offer grant assistance for first time home buyers in Montana. This program is maintained by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and is called the Homes and Communities program.
Their website contains useful information and applications. The website for the grant program maintained by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development can be visited by using this link, HUD Grant Information.
Another website I would recommend that you view is the Government Grants website. This website offers a list of all federal government grant programs. It would be a good idea to take some time and browse through this site to see what it offers and the qualifications for application.
After reading this page on housing grants, you may find yourself wanting see if you qualify for a mortgage. Choosing a lender that works well with grant programs requires a little effort.

The series as a whole:
- Cult Classic: The games have developed a very strong cult following in the years following their release.
- They Changed It, Now It Sucks: The 2.5D spinoff brawler Obscure D was set up to become a full series reboot following acquisition by Focus Interactive. Eventually it was rebranded as its own original title, Final Exam, following fan backlash.
- Vanilla Protagonist/The Scrappy: Stan. In the first game, he is almost an Optional Party Member, except for the fact that you need to go into the room where he's located in order to acquire a certain item. While Shannon and Ashley went to find the missing Kenny, Josh tagged along because he had a crush on Shannon, and Kenny joined the party after he was rescued, Stan seemed to join the group simply because he was there and had little better to do. He could've been written out entirely, and the plot wouldn't have changed at all. In the second game, he literally drops in two-thirds of the way into the game following Mei's death with nothing more than a cameo appearance in the introduction, and then gets into a relationship with Shannon and becomes the main hero because of Corey's suicide.
The first game:
- Spiritual Adaptation: The first game is this to The Faculty. In both works, a group of high school students from across various cliques and social circles battle monsters who used to be their classmates (only with less Body Horror and more paranoia in The Faculty), and it turns out that the school's administration is a major part of what's happening.
- Tier-Induced Scrappy: The characters all had unique abilities, but due to Anyone Can Die, aren't necessary to complete the game. Shannon could do both of hers within the safe zone, and there were only a handful of locks in the game, most of which didn't need to be done quickly, making Stan useless except for exploring rooms after they'd been cleared of monsters.
The second game:
- Anvilicious: From the second game's opening scene, it's shown how the students at Fallcreek only care about two things. Then just in case the player didn't get it, it is then stated outright, through a report in the hospital level, that the infection which consumed everyone on campus was spread due to rampant sex and drug use. To really drive home the point that those are bad things, by the end of the game all the characters that were partying at the beginning have been killed off, mostly in an arbitrary and brutal fashion.
- Contested Sequel: While the Anyone Can Die mentality and minor differences between the characters were enjoyed in the first game, the second game introduced some twists. The scripted deaths, starting with Jun, really turned off a lot of the fans.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Corey and Mei ended up being the most popular new characters introduced in the second game. A Google image search for Mei alone brings up a good deal of fan art of her, and Corey himself has a few. It helps because Mei suffers a completely unexpected and brutal death at the hands of Kenny, and poor Corey commits suicide after being unable to deal with her death by the end of the game. Their popularity resulted in a (sadly canceled) spinoff game called ObsCure Survivor, which was supposed to be something of a light gun game and was to explore Corey and Mei's characters and relationship further. Game Informer even listed Corey and Mei #14 in their list of Video Games' Cutest Couples.
- Foreshadowing/Fridge Horror: Hey, remember in the "nightmare" stage at the beginning of the game, where Mei and Corey encounter Jun, Sven and Amy's mutilated corpses? Take a good look at the manner of wounds that seem to have done them in. A quarter of Jun's face and entire right arm have been torn out, Sven's missing both his arms and has a gaping hole in the middle of him, and Amy's corpse is lying upon a large flower with her arms streched out and her entrails spilled out of her stomach. What does this have to do with anything? Jun's wounds seem to imply mauling at the hands of an animal, Sven's implies chainsaw injuries, and something seems to have bursted out of Amy's stomach. Mauling at the hands of a monster, a chainsaw, and a monster infant is what kills the three respectedly!
- Goddamned Bats: The Flyers. They're fast, they attack in groups, and they're almost impossible to hit with melee weapons, force you to waste precious ammo to defeat them.
- Moral Event Horizon: Former hero Kenny, following his mutation, takes a flying leap over the horizon following a FaceHeel Turn, starting with crushing Mei's head under his heel while her boyfriend Corey watches, then abducting his girlfriend Amy to repeatedly rape her offscreen.
- Moral Guardians: When the second game was released in Britain, one paper openly criticized it on their front cover due to Corey's suicide, despite the fact that it was treated extremely seriously. However, this was around the same time as the Manhunt 2 controversy...
- Nightmare Fuel: The mannequins that appear in the dream sequence of the prologue. And that sound they make when you hit them.
- Strangled by the Red String: Shannon and Stan. Granted, there is a Time Skip between the two games, but there is no mention of it previously, and their kiss just comes out of the blue.
- What an Idiot: You're barely fighting off the spores in your body, even with the help of medication, so why would you deliberately inhale a whole bunch of them, Kenny?!

There are federal loans available for nursing school exclusively. See if your school offers that. The Nursing Scholarship Program is open right now as well. Search and apply for scholarships! I spent 2.5 years in a liberal studies program while preparing for nursing school. If you don't have a certain amount of prereqs done, then you can't even get into the program so I'm hoping my years don't count against any pell grants. I am on part time basis now at 10 credit hours though, so I get to take out more loans. It's all good though and I really think these comments about "wah wah taxpayers" can go where the sun "don't" shine. Seriously, I'm pretty sure corporate America and political America spends a lot more in taxpayer money (with pork spending) than some person that is trying to get a second degree in nursing.

Paula Poundstone's Ha Ha Ho Ho Holiday Comedy Show!
Though this year marks the release of her second comedy album, Paula Poundstone is hardly a newcomer to the comedy scene. Frequent auto commuters, for instance, will recognize her distinctive voice from her regular appearances on NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, while longtime television viewers will recognize her distinctive presence from her first HBO special, Cats, Cops, and Stuff or her frequent sets on late-night talk shows. Whether delivering an amusing monologue or having an improvisational conversation with an audience member, Poundstone demonstrates the quick wit and confidence that caused Comedy Central to list her as one of the 100 Greatest Standups of All Time. The comedian has marked numerous firsts for the industry, including being the first woman to host the White House Correspondents Dinner, and the first person to make Carl Kasell stutter.

Do you love the name Rose? Does it have a special meaning or history for you? If so, use it. If you think 'oh I guess this sounds ok with Sabrina' then that's when it becomes a filler and should be avoided
My first daughter will have Rose as her middle name because it's a family tradition going back five generations and I'd like to keep it up.

I think Rose is gorgeous! It's simple, straightforward yet still very feminine.Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~George Eliot

I love Rose as a first name. As beautiful as it is, the massive use of it as a middle has kind of ruined it for me as a middle name, but it's absolutely lovely as a first.Zelia • 20s • Exporting names from Greenland & Inuit mythologyHenry Ásgeirr Lórien • Alexander Adelin Pemba "Sasha" • Aksel Atticus Ivik • Oscar Edmund Igaluk

YARD, NAHOR BIGGS (1816–1889). Nahor Biggs Yard, Galveston business and civic leader, was born in Trenton, New Jersey, on March 12, 1816. He left home at twelve to work for his uncle, Jacob S. Brinley, a tailor in Philadelphia. He was there until 1837 and moved to Galveston on January 18, 1838. After an unsuccessful effort in the tailoring trade he formed a partnership with John Jackson to transport people to and from vessels off Galveston. Yard was elected to the first board of aldermen on March 14, 1839. He resigned on September 24, 1839, and joined the Galveston Volunteers, a force that repelled Indian raids along the frontier of the Republic of Texas. Yard returned to tailoring in 1841. During October 1845 he formed a partnership, Briggs and Yard, with Jacob L. Briggs. This men's clothing store operated until 1861, when it burned; it then resumed business in 1866 and operated until Briggs's death on the Varuna when it sank off the coast of Florida in 1870. Yard served as director and president of the Galveston Gas Company (1855–79) and treasurer of the Galveston, Houston and Henderson Railroad Company (1859–60). He helped incorporate the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway Company in 1873 and took part in organizing the Union Fire and Marine Insurance Company. He was president of the Howard Association (1857–79), which was active in the relief of victims of the 1867 yellow fever epidemic in Galveston. Yard was appointed superintendent of Galveston County schools in 1853. He was one of the earliest Masons in Texas and was treasurer of Harmony Lodge for thirty-eight years. During the Civil War he helped muster the Galveston Rifles and rose to the rank of colonel of the First Regiment, First Brigade, Texas State Troops. Yard brought the first lawsuit in Galveston in 1838 and served as foreman of the first jury empaneled there. He also helped organize Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, the first fire company in Texas. Yard married Caroline Nichols of New York on February 15, 1846. They had six children, three of whom survived childhood. Yard died in Galveston on May 6, 1889, and was buried in the cemetery of Trinity Episcopal Church.

Not only of the best films of 2010 to date, but of the last couple of years, "I Love You Too" is a silly but sweet romantic comedy about a young man who, due to commitment issues, watches as the love of his life walks out of his life. Clint Morris chats to the film's director, the lovely Daina Reid.
I really enjoyed the film Daina.
Thank you so much. You wrote the review?
I did. And look, I'm a friend of Pete's (Helliar) so I was going to support it as much as I can, but I still had to give the film a fair review – and if I didn't like it, I was going to say that.
That's great then!
As I said in my review, I can't think of the last time I saw a genuinely decent Australian-made rom-com?
Yeah… maybe Love and Other Catastrophies? But yeah, that's what interested me in this project – it wasn't like most of the romantic-comedies we see, particuarly the ones of the Hollywood variety, and the story was really solid. It's also not another quirky Aussie comedy where the Aussie accents are exagerrated or it's played too broad – Americans and the British do that well, but I don't think we necessarily do. We have a good bullshit meter as an audience. I wanted our characters to feel like real people – people you or I might know.
People have asked me what film "I Love You Too" most resembles, to get an audience of what they should expect, but I can't think of one.
Me either, I think Pete's script is very fresh and original.
It wasn't an easy shoot, I'm told, mainly due to the tight schedule but also because you came down sick?
Yeah, I was pretty sick there for a while – but I had to keep getting on with the job. Seems everyone on the flick came down with the Swine Flu! But I had a few different things – which my youngest would bring home from day care.
Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about – I have a two-year old as well, and she loves to bring Daddy something home from day care… usually something snotty and sneezy.
Exactly! And don't you hate it when you walk into the place to pick your kid up at the end of the day and there's some youngster there with snot dribbling down his face or coughing up a storm… you just know that you're going to be getting in on that soon enough!
Now you worked on "Skithouse". Is that where you met Pete Helliar?
Yeah. And he had worked with Laura Waters (the producer). We all joined up on it and…
…it was quite some time ago you heard about the script, right?
Yeah, I can't even tell you how many years ago – it was quite some time ago.
Did it change much over the years?
It was developed more. It didn't change too much – it was just tweaked.
What was it like working with Roadshow?
Oh they were fantastic – they were just encouraging and supportive.
Roadshow's Joel [Pearlman] is one of the best but he's also a huge lover of film – and I think that's part of the reason why the company has this terrific record when it comes to Aussie movies.
Oh he's just wonderful… I remember hearing about the movie Invictus, but it wasn't until Joel told me the movie to me – he essentially pitched it to me; summarized it for me brilliantly – that I was sold.
Now in addition to "Skithouse", you also worked for many years on TV sketch show "Full Frontal" – the same show that introduced us to a then unknown stand-up comic named Eric Bana…
I don't see Eric much, but I saw him around the time of Troy – he was in the park here with his family, and he was huge! He looked like a trunk! He's done amazingly well for him. I can't believe how well he's done for himself. And there's also Shaun Micallef, who is doing wonderful things.
And you too! Now you're working on both TV and film – which do you prefer?
I'd love to do a bit of everything – kinda like Jerry Bruckheimer. Oh please, that sounds so egotistical…
'Daina Reid : The Next Jerry Bruckheimer' -that's the title of this article
Oh Clint, please! [Laughs] I'm actually about to direct some Rush (the TV series) – something quite different; I get to flex my action muscles a bit.
What kind of films would you like to make?
This is going to sound so cliche, but Star Wars is the film that made me want to become a filmmaker. I know a lot of filmmakers say that, but it's true. It's the film that inspired me to take this road. So I would love to make a science-fiction film – or even a horror film, I love horror movies.
"I Love You Too" commences Thursday

Adam Scott wants to change Presidents Cup, gives no explanation how
|Adam Scott was 2-3-0 in the 2011 Presidents Cup. (Getty Images)
It's no surprise that the Presidents Cup is the Frank Stallone of men's professional golf cups, giving way to the juggernaut that is the Ryder Cup in just about every way possible.
The Ryder Cup is more historic, more competitive and seems to bring a level of pride in country not seen in the Presidents Cup. The best moment to come out of the Presidents Cup might not have even come from a player, but a caddie, a hat, and a simple inscription: "Tiger Who?"
And Adam Scott wants to change that. He wants the Presidents Cup to be better. He wants it to be on the same level as the Ryder Cup, and dangit, he wants all of that to happen now. Problem is, Scott didn't really give any idea of how to do that when he talked with Channel News Asia.
"Someone needs to take a lesson from the Ryder Cup," Scott told reporters while preparing for this week's Australian Masters in Melbourne.
"We've got to get the competition back in the event. The last three have been walkovers to the US, to be quite honest. We need to change the format so it's not all done by Sunday."
The Australian has a point there. Since the infamous tie in 2003, the U.S. team has won four straight Presidents Cups by at least three full points. The Americans have snagged at least 19 points in the last three Presidents Cups and it seems that when the Internationals show up, the Americans play anti-Ryder Cup golf.
So the simple question is how could they change this to make it more competitive? Stop forcing captains to play players before singles matches? Pack the event into three days like the Ryder Cup in hopes that the smaller schedule makes the whole thing more competitive? See if Ian Poulter can get duel citizenship in Canada?
The problem is simply that the Presidents Cup just hasn't been as competitive. It isn't a knock on the players on the International team, but they approach this event like the Americans approach the Ryder Cup, and for some reason, that doesn't work.
Scott has a point, but for now, it seems that the Presidents Cup is simply going to be second fiddle to an event that has been around since 1927.


text: Selected Center for Quality of Care Research Projects Implementation and Outcomes of Noninvasive Ventilation in COPD PI: Peter Lindenauer, MD, MSc For the roughly 500,000 individuals hospitalized each year in the US for exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the discovery of noninvasive forms of mechanical ventilation in the 1990s represented a treatment breakthrough that offered an alternative to being placed on an invasive mechanical ventilator in the intensive care unit, where the risks of prolonged hospitalization, complications, and death are substantial. Yet nearly a decade after its discovery, little is known about the use or outcomes of noninvasive ventilation in routine clinical setting, and if the experience of other biomedical innovations holds true, there are reasons to be concerned that translation of these research findings into day-to-day practice may be occurring slowly and unevenly. Through statistical analyses of records from a representative sample of more than 600 US hospitals, and through interviews and surveys with a diverse set of hospital personnel, we will close the gap in our understanding of the adoption of noninvasive ventilation in the US, and will identify effective strategies that can help speed the implementation process. Contextual Factors Associated with Implementation Effectiveness within a QI Collaborative PI: Peter Lindenauer, MD, MSc A common approach for improving the quality and safety of hospital care in the United States involves bringing teams of doctors and nurses together from different hospitals to work collaboratively towards a common improvement goal. While the concept makes sense, quality improvement collaboratives are costly to run, and evidence of their benefit is limited. More importantly, little is known about why, within the same collaborative, some hospitals are more successful than others. Through surveys of senior hospital leaders and quality improvement staff, this study will examine how perceptions of new clinical practices, together with other hospital factors, contribute to successful implementation efforts. Additionally, this study will evaluate the effects of a large quality improvement collaborative focused on reducing hospital complication and death rates. Funding: AHRQ IDEAS for a Healthy Baby: Reducing Disparities in Consumer Use of Quality Data PI: Sarah Goff, MD Efforts to increase transparency of healthcare quality data are guided in part by the belief that access to these data will enable consumers to make more informed healthcare choices. Although the amount of quality of care information made available to consumers through websites and other channels has grown tremendously, impact on consumer choices remains low. Barriers to using these data, which may contribute to the low impact, include limited knowledge of the existence of public reporting websites and the challenge of interpreting the complex information the websites present. Patient navigators are healthcare workers who assist patients in 'navigating' the complex healthcare system and at the same time 'activate' patients to participate in management of their own healthcare. The objective of this randomized controlled trial, "IDEAS for a Healthy Baby" is to evaluate the efficacy of in-person sessions with a patient navigator that are designed to increase the impact of publicly reported quality information on the choice of pediatrician amongst low income women during pregnancy. Funding: AHRQ The Impact of Transfer Status on Mortality Measurement PIs: Evan Benjamin, MD and Peter Lindenauer, MD, MSc This study is seeking to determine if current methods of measuring hospital mortality account for the issue of the complexity of transferred patients to tertiary hospitals. Funding: AAMC Validation of the Premier Harm Index PI: Evan Benjamin, MD This study seeks to validate an administrative measure of harm for benchmarking hospital patient safety. Using the hospitals in the Premier QUEST project, we will validate administrative coding of various harm scores against chart review. Funding: Premier Epidemiology and Outcomes of Acute Respiratory Failure in Hospitalized Patients in the United States, 2001 – 2009 PI: Mihaela Stefan, MD Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a potential complication of several common medical conditions and the most frequent organ failure in the intensive care unit, but its current epidemiology is not well understood. Using the HCUP Nationwide Inpatient Sample we will perform a national population-based study with time trends of hospitalizations of patients age 18 years and over diagnosed with ARF from 2001 to 2009. Funding: Charlton grant from Tufts University School of Medicine Hospital Leaders' Views on the Public Reporting of Health Care Quality PI: Peter Lindenauer, MD, MSc Public reporting of health care quality is a strategy to improve the quality of health care and to empower patients to make more informed health care choices. Providing information about quality is believed to stimulate improvement activity by appealing directly to the professionalism of clinicians and hospital administrative leaders, and indirectly through the risk that patients might use the data to choose between providers. Despite the dramatic growth of public reporting programs over the past 2 decades, evidence that these efforts have resulted in improved quality or better outcomes is limited. Despite the growth of public reporting programs little is known about the views of hospital based physicians or hospital administrative leaders about the value of current publicly reported measures of hospital quality, or about how they use these measures at their hospitals. We intend to conduct a survey of hospital administrative leaders to assess their views and use of current measures that can be found on the CMS Hospital Compare Website. Dyspnea in Hospitalized Patients - Recognition, Management, and Outcomes PI: Mihaela Stefan, MD Dyspnea is one of the main reason patients seek medical help and relief of breathlessness is central to the management of cardiopulmonary diseases. The goals of the study are to investigate how well health care professionals assess and document dyspnea among hospitalized patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, how much improvement in this symptom is achieved from admission to discharge and to assess the level of agreement between physicians and patients in rating of dyspnea. Differences in Obstetric Hand-off Quality Based on Time of Day and Day of Week Co-PI: Sarah Goff, MD In this study, we are seeking to determine variation in hand-off quality during admissions for labor and delivery. Using ACOG guidelines to measure quality, we are comparing AM and PM hand-offs and weekday versus weekend for attending physicians, residents, nurses and nurse-midwives. Quality of Care and Outcomes of Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia PI: Michael Rothberg, MD, MPH This study will provide important insight into a clinical dilemma faced by physicians who care for as many as 300,000 patients each year with Healthcare-Associated pneumonia (HCAP). This study will assess whether patients with HCAP are receiving care consistent with the recommendations found in guidelines developed by the American Thoracic Society and the Infectious Disease Society of America, and whether those treated according to the guidelines have better outcomes than patients who are treated with other antibiotics. These results will help clinicians balance the potential benefits of the recommended antibiotics against the potential harms of antibiotic side effects, future antibiotic resistance, and increased costs. If recommended therapy is beneficial but underutilized, these results will alert quality improvement officers and policy makers to an important opportunity to improve patient care for a common and deadly illness. Funding: AHRQ Completed Projects Access to Subspecialty Care for Patients in Wheelchairs PI: Tara Lagu, MD, MPH According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all medical providers are required to provide "full and equal access to their healthcare services and their facilities." If a person with a disability requires services from a physician, reasonable modifications must be made to accommodate that patient if that patient would otherwise receive services from that practice. However, we have observed that many physician practices routinely deny care to disabled patients who would otherwise receive care in that practice. The literature supports the hypothesis that patients who use wheelchairs appear to have diminished access to care. However, there has been no study that attempted to quantify or characterize this lack of access. We propose to conduct the first study to describe the access to subspecialists in the US for patients who use wheelchairs. We hypothesize that there is very limited access to subspecialty outpatient care for people with mobility disabilities. The Effectiveness of Antibiotics and Steroids in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) PI: Peter Lindenauer, MD, MSc In collaboration with the Division of Infectious Disease at Baystate Medical Center, we examined the effects of antibiotic therapy on the outcomes of patients hospitalized for acute exacerbations of COPD. In a related project, we studied the comparative effectiveness of orally and intravenously administered corticosteroids. We previously reported that the vast majority of hospitalized patients are initially treated with intravenously administered steroids despite the fact that current guidelines suggest that oral therapy is equally effective, less expensive, and may be associated with fewer complications. Patients' Evaluations of Health Care Providers in the Era of Social Networking: An Analysis of Physician-rating Websites PI: Tara Lagu, MD, MPH In the first study of its kind, Dr. Lagu sought to describe the structure and content of physician-rating websites in the United States, evaluating 33 websites and 300 Boston physicians. Dr. Lagu is continuing her research on the public reporting of patient opinions and expanding her approach to include reviews of hospitals, a wider geographic area, and qualitative analysis. VTE Prophylaxis in Hospitalized Medical Patients PI: Michael Rothberg, MD, MPH We are performing a comprehensive analysis of patient risk, physician prescribing, and outcomes for medical patients at high risk for venous thromboembolism at 400 US hospitals. Specific projects include developing a risk prediction model for developing VTE; describing patient, physician and system factors associated with VTE prophylaxis; and examining the comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of low molecular weight and unfractionated heparins. This project is funded by a grant from the Doris Duke Foundation. Variation in Treatment and Outcomes in Sepsis PI: Tara Lagu, MD, MPH Working with faculty from the Critical Care Division at Baystate Medical Center, we are studying the care and outcomes of more than 200,000 patients hospitalized for the treatment of sepsis. Our work is focused on describing variations in treatment patterns and outcomes across hospitals, examining the effectiveness of common therapies, and exploring the relationship between cost and outcomes of care. In future studies, we hope to identify hospital characteristics and processes associated with high-value sepsis care. Readmission and Hospital Quality PI: Mihaela Stefan, MD Readmission of patients following hospital discharge is a clinically important, expensive, and often preventable adverse outcome. Working with colleagues at the Oklahoma Foundation for Medical Quality, we are using Medicare claims files and patient-level data from Medicare's Hospital Compare database to study the relationship between existing quality measures and risk-adjusted hospital readmission rates for pneumonia, heart failure, and myocardial infarction. This project is supported by a grant from the Baystate Medical Center Incubator Fund and is part of a larger effort to examine the effects of public reporting on readmission rates. The Effectiveness and Safety of Beta Blockers in Patients Admitted with Acute COPD Exacerbations PI: Mihaela Stefan, MD In this study, we are examining the effects of beta-blocker therapy on outcomes of patients admitted with an acute COPD exacerbation with coexistent hypertension, ischemic heart disease, or heart failure. Funding: CTSI/Tufts Award Hospital Spending and Mortality in Sepsis PI: Tara Lagu, MD, MPH Previous research has documented striking variations in the care and outcomes of patients across geographic regions of the United States and the world, but until now little was known about hospital-level differences in the care and outcomes of sepsis patients. In this issue of the Archives, Lagu and colleagues report that, for sepsis patients, there were significant variations in hospital-level spending and mortality rate across of a nationwide sample of 309 hospitals, but higher spending did not improve outcomes. A subset of sampled hospitals consistently achieved better-than-expected mortality rates at lower-than-expected costs, and further study of the strategies of these hospitals may help to identify potential opportunities to improve the value of sepsis care. Improving Women's Health by Identifying Factors Associated with Risk-adjusted Obstetric Complications PI: Sarah Goff, MD In this study, we are using Premier's Perspective database to describe risk-adjusted variation in hospital level rates for three common obstetric complications, trauma infection, and hemorrhage. We will also describe the relationship between cost of uncomplicated deliveries and hospital complication rates and begin to assess organizational strategies used by hospitals with lower complication rates. Informed Consent for PCI: What are Cardiologists Saying? PI: Michael Rothberg, MD, MPH; Co-I: Sarah Goff, MD This mixed methods study assesses how often cardiologists meet guidelines for providing informed consent for PCI using transcripts of patient encounters with cardiologists and qualitatively explores the content of these discussions. A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Patient Reviews of Hospital Care in England: Implications for Public Reporting of Health Care Quality Data in the US PI: Tara Lagu, MD, MPH The National Health Service (NHS) in the England encourages patients to provide feedback to hospitals on their quality reporting website, NHS Choices. In this cross-sectional mixed-methods analysis, we aim to describe the scope and content of narrative feedback on NHS Choices. We will conduct further qualitative and quantitative analysis of patients' reviews of randomly selected hospitals.

Couples Therapy Recap: Flavor Flav Defies Gravity
Hola Trashies! Can you believe I've deleted this twice?! TWICE! I'm officially technology challenged. OR this show has turned my brain into mush. Or all the wine I'm drinking to get through it is. Either way, this recap is TAKING FOREVER, and there's a new episode for me to get to so let's DO THIS! And not delete it.
We pick up where we left off with a giddy Joe Francis homoerotically giddy over the gay porn of Dustin. I stand by my beliefs that Joe KNEW ahead of time about Dustin's past and that the producers told him about it. Because it honestly seems so "fishy" to me that he would do a web seach as a prank. Anyway, he goes to find Flav to participate in his homophobic giddy. Flav is frying chicken and is all like, "F Stereotypes, who doesn't love chicken?!" Agreed, Flav. Chicken is delicious. Seriously though, that fried chicken looks nummy.
Just to add an extra level of creepy to the situation, because let's be honest here – Joe's Creepy Thermometer is broken – he's taping Flav's reaction to the gay porn.
Ha ha! Just watching gay porn, like two straight dudes totally do! Isn't my boner hilarious?!! Ha ha!
Flav is shocked and is also glad he participated in the viewing of the gay porn and says that he will gladly "burn my chicken up for this shit!" Okey dokey Flav. Priorities, my friend. Priorities.
At this point, nobody else is participating in the "Shame Dustin" movement that Joe is trying to film and sell on the internet, as you do. Instead they've all fled the room and are avoiding him like the plague. Because they might all be decent human beings. Ahem.
Dr. J meets with Dustin and Heather and voiceovers that she hopes that Dustin's ponorgraphic past doesn't become a distraction in the house. Please lady, this show is COUNTING on it being a distraction and frankly both Flav and Joe are thankful for it, because it takes the spotlight off their own awfulness. (Okay, so Flav is awful by association with Liz, but still. AWFUL).
Dr. J's session with Heather and Dustin is interesting and we get to see what a weird ass character Dustin is. I didn't watch Real World, I only read about it on these recaps, so I am not familiar with him. I can only tell you that he shows up without shoes and speaks in a weird whispery David Beckham voice.
They reveal to Dr. J that they come from different backgrounds. She had a normal healthy childhood and his was filled with abandonment and uncertainty. He reveals that when he was offered the opportunity to join the FratPad porn house, it became a sort of family for him and that he felthe belonged somewhere. Wow. That's incredibly sad. He also identifies as straight and downplays the sexual aspect of the Fratpad as just "oral," so it wasn't a big deal.
Dr. J tells him she sees he has an ability to disconnect from uncomfortable things, and that typically comes from trauma. He blankly stares at her and nods while Heather tells us that Dustin is so disconnected from the things from his past he can't even remember what really happened to him. He has built up a false experience to help him cope. Kiddies, that is fucked.up.
Dr. J thanks them for their time and then interviews and tells us that, "As you can imagine, I can't always reveal what is shared in my therapy sessions for various reasons. But what I can tell you is that Dustin's childhood trauma very clearly left him feeling vulnerable to being lured into pornography. The important thing is that he connects with his traum and his emotions, because if he doesn't there will always be a wall between him and Heather."
Wow. This kind of reminds me of Tiny and JoJo, in that JoJo was battling some real demons and if he didnt confront it, he would take Tiny out with him. Kind of happening here, because how can Dustin and Heather have a functional relationship when he can't function emotionally on a normal level? That's some real shit, not some fake reality show crap. That's real. And heart achingly sad.
Sidebar: Okay, so apparently Dustin was arrested this past weekend for imeprsonating Andy Dick and allegedly inappropriately touching a girl at a bar after last call. You can see the from the security camera screengrab that he used his foot to look up her skirt. It's weird, and stupid and he's a drunk idiot. But he didnt help matters when he got into it with the PoPo. Furthermore, you'll notice that his girlfriend Heather is nowhere in this story. Interesting. Also, in the last recap one of our awesome Trashies linked to a story about this. Do not click on that link unless you want to Dustin's full on dong pics. Which are impressive, but I wasn't expecting it. I love surprises! Huffington Post has the story without the dick pics.

text: The early reviews for The Wolverine are decidedly mixedRob Bricken7/18/13 10:20amFiled to: wolverinemarvelx-menmovies161EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink According to reviewers in the U.K., The Wolverine is a lifeless, tired superhero movie that brings nothing to the genre and whose plot is nearly as wacky as X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And then according to other reviewers, it's the superhero movie of the year. The one thing it isn't, apparently, is just okay. Advertisement The divide seems to be between fans and regular movie critics; the critics dislike it, while the fans are thrilled. Let's start with The Guardian:The film's opening hour is an evenly-paced gangster thriller that toys with the character as cultural export. He's a snarling beast, adrift in a society that runs on the individual's commitment to keeping their true nature concealed. There's obvious parallels with Logan's own struggle to contain his bestial nature, at least until Mangold unsheathes the set pieces and lets the Wolverine run riot. It's here – in the middle of the roaring and cutting that we've seen rejigged many, many times before – that our interest falls to pieces. The fights are predictable, the scenery disappointingly drab considering the potential in Tokyo's neon-lit wonder-world. Wolverine's mutant foe – a slinky, acid-spitter called Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova) – slides in and out of the narrative, shedding skin and goodwill with each appearance.Logan fared no better in The Telegraph: Advertisement This new film trades meaninglessness for joylessness, and it may be the series' huffiest entry yet. ... Sorry, but didn't superhero films outgrow all of this five or so years ago? Where is the quicksilver wit and lightness of touch of the Avengers and Iron Man films, or the formal ambition of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy? The previous X-Men film, First Class, was secure enough in its own skin to embrace its comic side. Mangold's picture affects a pubescent snarl instead: that's the difference between comic and daft.And those two reviews are sterling compared to The Mirror's:To its credit, The Wolverine is less concerned with the let's-level-a-cityscape formula of other superhero flicks such as Avengers Assemble, The Man Of Steel and Iron Man 3 and more interested in character development.The problem is that, aside from the odd moment where our man flashes his claws, this looks an awful lot like one of those burn-and-churn cheapies that Nicolas Cage would sign up for.Which, thinking about it, is just about the biggest insult you can level at a movie.But don't despair; the fans don't just like it, they really like it. From the fansite Gotham News: Sponsored I've enjoyed aspects of Hugh Jackman's four previous portrayals of Wolverine but was never really a fan. This movie has made me one. It earned my fandom through cohesive storytelling, engaging characters and gritty action. The cinematography is fantastic, especially the wide shots that let you take in the majesty of the stunning Japanese landscapes. ...The final product we're presented with is as good as the best X-Men movies that came before, enhanced by modernized effects and more a focused narrative. It's the antithesis to X-Men Origins, and refuels the popular hero with the same sense of purpose Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins did for The Dark Knight.Those are some pretty bold words, but Edward Douglas of ComingSoon.net agrees: Advertisement Advertisement Fans of the character disappointed by "X-Men Origins" who have been clamoring for a great Wolverine movie, one that lives up to Bryan Singer's early "X-Men" movies, should be thrilled. Those just wanting a solid, well-made action film might be surprised by how much depth Mangold brings to the mix. The results are the best comic book movie of the summer and one that rarely feels like a comic book movie.At least Total Film seems to come down a bit in the middle:Yet though it doesn't have the vibrant wit and zip of an Avengers Assemble, or the allegorical grandeur of a Dark Knight, it's a step up from the garbled silliness of Wolverine's first solo outing. Unlike Origins, the storytelling is more sharply focused here, ignited by flashes of stylised superheroism.True, there's probably one too many scenes of steel striking adamantium. But the 3D-assisted action is never less than spectacular, notably during a Kurosawa-flavoured ambush that sees Wolverine turned by arrows into a mutant pin-cushion.So which is it? Well, Rotten Tomatoes has the film at 71%, but with only eight reviews, it's far too early to tell. I guess we'll all have to see for ourselves when The Wolverine premieres on July 26th.Reply161 repliesLeave a reply

DAY 11: Knott's Berry Farm
... better, but still not good enough to be thrown around on some extreme roller coasters!
We went down to the bus stop and after some waiting, we caught our two city buses to Knott's Berry. Since we arrived before the park opened, we had to wait in line for about 15 minutes or so. At this point in the trip, we are pretty used to standing and waiting! At last it was time for the park to open, but instead of the usual gates opening and people filing through, a ...

... bit of abuse on the trip. On the hard shoulder, a driver was leaning on his open car door as Steve went round him. With some mild arm signals, Steve suggested he might want to close his door and as Angela reached him she was accused of being "white trash" and shouldn't be allowed on the roads. Not a pleasant character but hopefully not drunk. Ten minutes later, we were pitching up at the Doheny State Beach campground, chatting to fellow bikers and the incident had already been ...

We're early arrivals in the Park – even after checking in to the Disneyland Hotel and depositing our 16 pieces of luggage with the bellman (just as well we're only here for one night) we're inside soon after 9 am. Our tickets actually allow us early entry – at 7 am – so the crowds are already building up with ...

Checking in process for the cruise was about 3 hours but I guess 2000 people is more than your normal charter flight. Went to our stateroom only to find a big blower trying to dry out a leak from the AC... It's now been 24 hours and we still have an industrial blower in the room making a hell of a din and very cold to boot. (Watch this space) Up at 6 am and straight to the gym ...
