Neil Brown MK3 CTD
The Neil Brown MK3 conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiler consists of an integral unit containing pressure, temperature and conductivity sensors with an optional dissolved oxygen sensor in a pressure-hardened casing. The most widely used variant in the 1980s and 1990s was the MK3B. An upgrade to this, the MK3C, was developed to meet the requirements of the WOCE project.
The MK3C includes a low hysteresis, titanium strain gauge pressure transducer. The transducer temperature is measured separately, allowing correction for the effects of temperature on pressure measurements. The MK3C conductivity cell features a free flow, internal field design that eliminates ducted pumping and is not affected by external metallic objects such as guard cages and external sensors.
Additional optional sensors include pH and a pressure-temperature fluorometer. The instrument is no longer in production, but is supported (repair and calibration) by General Oceanics.
These specification apply to the MK3C version.

RRS Discovery 232 CTD Data Documentation
The cruise was equipped with two MkIIIc CTDOs (Neil Brown Mark IIIc Conductivity-Temperature-Depth-Oxygen) instruments from SOC's Ocean Technology Division (OTD): numbers Deep 03 and Deep 04. The underwater package included CTD, altimeter, Lowered ADCP, 24-place FSI (Falmouth Scientific Instruments) pylon and 24 x 10-litre water bottles. 18 of the bottles were standard, internally-sprung with epoxy-coated steel springs. 6 were externally-sprung lever action Niskins, intended principally for trace metal sampling.
Data Processing
For each station, the CTD data were processed in as close to real time as possible in order to check that all sensors were functioning within acceptable ranges. Raw data were read in for CTD, winch and bottle events. Data were merged using time stamps. Initial conductivity calibration was chosen after the first test station to give a sensible deep T-S (temperature-salinity) value in the Bay of Biscay, based on historical data. While rather crude, the large salinity signal in the work area meant this was acceptable for an initial salinity calibration. Initial oxygen calibration was meaningless. Oxygen sample data were only merged with CTD data right at the end of the cruise, so calibration of CTD oxygen had to wait for post-cruise processing at SOC.
Working files on board ship consisted of cleaned and de-spiked 1 Hz data, and extracted downcast data, sorted, averaged to 2 db and interpolated to fill any gaps. It was noted that the apparent T-S relation was drifting more than would be considered acceptable for highest-quality deep hydrography. This was attributed to a failing conductivity cell. However, the effect was not so great that the drift could not be satisfactorily monitored from the sample salinities. Deep03 with a single conductivity cell was kept in use until the end of this cruise, and the need for the cell to be changed prior to the next cruise was noted. Data cycles that define the downcast portion of the 1 Hz file were checked in post cruise processing, and a few errors corrected.
Salinity Calibration
The shortness of the working time (8 days) for CTD measurements during Discovery 232 meant that rather little shipboard calibration work was done. Initial comparisons between sample and CTD salinities revealed the problem with the conductivity cell, which was due to be changed for cruise 233. Detailed comparisons were carried out post-cruise by Dr. King at SOC. CTD bottle firing data were extracted by time and compared with sample salinity. Since the stations are relatively shallow and the temperature range is relatively small, a simple salinity offset was identified for each station, rather than attempting a more complicated fit between CTD and sample conductivity. The complete data processing path was then repeated automatically, so that CTD data from bottle firing events was extracted from the new 1 Hz files and passed into the sample files. This was necessary to ensure that correct CTD salinities were available for all bottles, including, for example, trace metal bottles from which salinity samples had not been drawn.
Care was needed to exclude unsuitable salinity samples from the calibration process. Strong vertical gradients in salinity, as large as 1 over 10 metres in the vertical, are not well sampled by 10-litre Niskin bottles. Estimates from previous cruises (e.g. Saunders et al., 1993) suggest that the vertical flushing distance of the bottles is 5 metres or more. Thus, sample minus CTD discrepancies up to, or even greater than, 0.1 can arise from this source of error. As individual stations were examined, large residuals in regions of strong gradient were noted and excluded from the calibration. However, these sample data were not flagged as bad, since there is no reason to suspect that either the sample capture or the sample analysis were faulty.
Residuals between final CTD and the subset of sample salinities used in the calibration showed a typical standard deviation of less than 0.004, for up to 8 sample salinities per cast. This represents the sum of CTD salinity errors, sample analysis errors, and sample/CTD mismatches arising from smaller vertical gradients that have not already been excluded. Final CTD data were produced for the 27 stations in the work area.
Oxygen Calibration
No oxygen calibration was attempted at sea, because the sample data were not available until close to the end of the cruise in Tenerife. Post-cruise at SOC, CTD oxygen was calibrated station by station by Dr. King. Up to 5 oxygen parameters (S(1) to S(5)) were fitted for each station, using the following expression:
O2 = Osat(T,S) * S1 * (Oxyc + S4) * exp(- S2 * P - S3 * (S5 * Tctd + (1-S5) * Oxyt)))
The requirement is to fit downcast CTD oxygen data from the 2 dbar file, which are the reported CTD oxygen data, to the samples collected on the upcast.
The result of fitting the oxygen algorithm parameters was examined on each station. On some stations, the distribution of sample values and CTD values made the fitting problem ill-conditioned, so that one or more of the parameters could not be determined. In these cases, subjective judgement was used and those parameters were fixed at values representative of nearby stations. Remaining parameters were then fitted to the available data. As with salinity calibration, outliers were identified and excluded from the fitting procedure, which was then repeated. Where the outlier was attributed to a bad sample analysis, the sample flag was set to `bad'. Typical rms residuals per station in the finished dataset are less than 3.5 umol/l, where the mean residual is calculated using number of degrees of freedom = Number of samples - 5.
Some final fixes were required. On some stations, near-surface CTD oxygen data were bad, arising from the CTD being soaked at 10 metres, but then not being returned to surface before commencing the downcast. Near-surface data, acquired before soaking, were deleted and replaced by the shallowest good data. Therefore, the 2db CTD oxygen data on these stations (13375, 381, 382, 392, 395, 396, 397, 406, 407) do not correspond to the oxyc data in the files. In addition, a few residual spikes were removed by manual editing. At station 408, no oxygen samples were drawn because it was a repeat of station 404. Appropriate `fake' sample data at bottle closing depths were invented by examining T-O relation on station 404, so that CTD oxygen could be calibrated.
Lastly, CTD oxygens were fitted to sample oxygen reported in umol/l. At the time of this report, sample and CTD oxygen data are still stored as umol/l. These should subsequently be converted to umol/kg, using a density based on the recorded temperatures at the time of fixing the samples.

General Data Screening carried out by BODC
BODC screen both the series header qualifying information and the parameter values in the data cycles themselves.
Header information is inspected for:
- Irregularities such as unfeasible values
- Inconsistencies between related information, for example:
- Times for instrument deployment and for start/end of data series
- Length of record and the number of data cycles/cycle interval
- Parameters expected and the parameters actually present in the data cycles
- Originator's comments on meter/mooring performance and data quality
Documents are written by BODC highlighting irregularities which cannot be resolved.
Data cycles are inspected using time or depth series plots of all parameters. Currents are additionally inspected using vector scatter plots and time series plots of North and East velocity components. These presentations undergo intrinsic and extrinsic screening to detect infeasible values within the data cycles themselves and inconsistencies as seen when comparing characteristics of adjacent data sets displaced with respect to depth, position or time. Values suspected of being of non-oceanographic origin may be tagged with the BODC flag denoting suspect value; the data values will not be altered.
The following types of irregularity, each relying on visual detection in the plot, are amongst those which may be flagged as suspect:
- Spurious data at the start or end of the record.
- Obvious spikes occurring in periods free from meteorological disturbance.
- A sequence of constant values in consecutive data cycles.
If a large percentage of the data is affected by irregularities then a Problem Report will be written rather than flagging the individual suspect values. Problem Reports are also used to highlight irregularities seen in the graphical data presentations.
Inconsistencies between the characteristics of the data set and those of its neighbours are sought and, where necessary, documented. This covers inconsistencies such as the following:
- Maximum and minimum values of parameters (spikes excluded).
- The occurrence of meteorological events.
This intrinsic and extrinsic screening of the parameter values seeks to confirm the qualifying information and the source laboratory's comments on the series. In screening and collating information, every care is taken to ensure that errors of BODC making are not introduced.

Marco Rubio isn't the first Republican who has embraced "comprehensive immigration reform," but he might turn out to be the most successful. Unlike John McCain, the Florida senator is popular with conservatives. And unlike George W. Bush, he is addressing a party that may be ready to drop its enforcement-first stance.
The Obama administration signaled its approval of Rubio's immigration rhetoric in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "We hope that it signals a change in the Republican approach to this issue," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. "Again, to my knowledge, Senator Rubio has yet to put anything on paper or draw up any legislation. We welcome reports of his positions…"
According to the Washington Post, Carney went on to say that they "look forward to working with him and other Republicans in pursuit of comprehensive immigration reform." This time around, there will be more Republican pursuers.
Paul Ryan, who had been a reliable vote against the McCain-Kennedy amnesties, praised Rubio. "I support the principles he's outlined," Ryan, the 2012 GOP vice-presidential nominee, said. And what are those principles?
"We can't have the kind of vibrant growth that we need and the economy we want, based on limited government and free enterprise, if we don't have a legal immigration system that works," Rubio explained. "And in order to have a system that works, we have to deal with the people who are here illegally."
Rubio still pays lip service to the position taken by House Republicans during the immigration battles of 2006-07. "There right way to deal with them is not amnesty," he said, "and is not a special pathway to citizenship."
But Rubio said of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants who remain in the country, "We have to understand that these folks are here to stay." Most Republicans have understood this as amnesty. Rubio added, "ultimately it's not good for our country to have people permanently trapped in that status where they can't become citizens." That sounds like a pathway to citizenship.
The New York Times describes these as "views that set him apart from many other Republican conservatives," but Rubio is unlikely to get the McCain treatment. (And it's worth noting that even McCain was able to win the 2008 GOP presidential nomination.) The freshman senator is increasingly seen as a conservative rising star, and Republicans are worried about their dismal performance among Hispanics at the ballot box last year.
Missing from Rubio's message is any sense of why conservatives have been skeptical of such legislation in the recent past: the failure of the 1986 amnesty program. The Reagan administration's legalization effort was rife with fraud. The promised enforcement measures never fully materialized even after the amnesty took place. Illegal immigration didn't decline and Hispanics didn't reward Republicans for their pro-amnesty votes at the polls.
Extensive polling finds that Hispanics are pro-choice and favor social welfare spending more than the public at large, suggesting it won't be easy for Rubio to mix his preferred immigration policies with paeans to limited government and free enterprise. There is also a conflict between Rubio's vision of increasing skilled immigration while being generous with family reunification and lenient with disproportionately low-skilled illegal immigrants.
To the extent that unskilled immigration remains unchecked, what about the impact on the wages and jobs opportunities of the most economically vulnerable Americans, who are themselves disproportionately black and Hispanic?
Some prominent Republicans on the Senate and House Judiciary committees, like Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions and Texas Rep. Lamar Smith, remain committed to the enforcement-first approach: enforce the law now and consider legalizing the illegal immigrants with the deepest roots in the country later.
But for most of the rest of the party, Rubio's plan—still in embryonic form—seems like a peace offering to a growing voting bloc Republicans don't know how to reach, as well as a way to soften the GOP's image with swing voters at large. The recent declines in illegal immigration due to the weak economy, as well as the Obama administration's claims of record deportations, may make many wavering conservatives feel that enforcement has already been tried.
The biggest data point that suggests Republicans are more receptive to some kind of immigration amnesty? Rubio is a possible candidate for the presidential nomination in 2016. None of his likely primary opponents denounced him.

Rosemary-Garlic Mozzarella Balls with Roasted Cherry Tomato Dipping Sauce
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Garlic and rosemary spiced breadcrumbs create a savory golden brown crust on creamy fresh mozzarella balls. Roasting the cherry tomatoes and onion caramelizes their natural sugars intensifying their sweet flavor in the dipping sauce. The key to a mozzarella ball with a crunchy crust and silky melted inside is partially freezing the mozzarella balls and keeping the extra-virgin olive oil hot while cooking. If the oil cools, the mozzarella will melt too much and the balls will fall apart. —Garden Gate Kate
Serves: 4
Mozzarella Balls
cups cubed multigrain bread
sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves only
garlic cloves, minced
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
cup whole wheat flour
pound bocconcini (small mozzarella balls)
cage-free eggs, beaten
extra virgin olive oil for sautéing
Roasted Cherry Tomato Dipping Sauce
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1/2 medium onion, cut into wedges
1 garlic clove, peeled
extra-virgin olive oil
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- To prepare mozzarella balls, place bread pieces in a food processor, and pulse until you have about 2 cups coarse bread crumbs. Stir in rosemary and garlic. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Dip mozzarella in whole wheat flour, shake off excess. Dip mozzarella into egg, then coat in seasoned multi-grain bread crumbs. Place on a tray; set aside in the freezer.
- Preheat oven to 425F. To make roasted cherry tomato dipping sauce, set tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a roasting tray. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are slightly caramelized on the top. Remove from oven and transfer to a food processor and puree. Transfer tomato mixture to a pot and simmer, uncovered, over low heat until thick and creamy.
- Pour extra-virgin olive oil into a large skillet and heat on medium-high heat. Remove mozzarella balls from the freezer. Sauté a few mozzarella balls at a time for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is just beginning to melt. Drain on pepper towels. Serve with roasted cherry tomato dipping sauce.

I saw the season's first cherry tree blossom inside the Brooklyn Botanic Garden earlier this month and get wistful for Washington, D.C. each time the cherry blossoms emerge. So when I learned that a new theater work titled "Sakura no Ne" ("Root of the Cherry Tree") included footage of trees in bloom, I knew I had to see it. Folks who feel the same have just one more opportunity (April 22 at 2pm) to see the family-friendly production being performed at Theater Works in Peoria.
"Sakura no Ne" is part multi-media production, part performance art, part morality tale and part homage to the Japanese Friendship Garden in Phoenix (along with sister city Himeji in Japan). At times it has the feel of a fine work of theater for children. Other times it reads like a Japan-inspired version of "Riverdance" or "Stomp." Everything about it is lovely, but it may need a bit more pruning as it evolves to reach wider audiences.
Children in the audience Saturday afternoon clearly loved the humor, drumming, martial arts component and digital projections. The 80-minute show also features diverse dance elements rarely scene on Valley stages. I chatted with a couple after the show, eager to see whether a storm scene filled with lightning and a fire-breathing serpent had scared their preschool-age son. "This is the first time he's sat through an entire show," they told me.
"Sakura no No" is the work of playwright Soji Kashiwagi (of Grateful Crane Ensemble) and music composer Scott Nagatani. It's directed by Dominik Rebilas. "Sakura no Ne" is produced by Yoshi Kumagai (who also serves as art director and fight choreographer) and Ken Koshio (who also serves as music director), sponsored by the Japanese Friendship Garden in Phoenix and funded by a Sundome Performing Arts Association grant. Kumagai shared with me after the show that they're hoping to present the work in additional Valley venues.
The show's most dramatic element is drumming by Ken Koshio in the role of Ikazuchi (Thunder God). The cast also includes John Tang (Taro "Tama" Yamazajura), Urashima Taro, Old Man), Dale Nakagawa (Justin, Sea Turtle) and Sandy Harris (Haley, Sea Princess, Crane). Most delicate is Koshio's title song, sung in Japanese and English with harmonica and guitar. I also enjoyed creations by Zarko Guerrero (mask and turtle outfit) and Derrick Suwaima Davis (crane feather outfit).
"Sakura no Ne" follows the adventures of two tween-age siblings — a boy rarely parted from his Nintendo and a girl attached to her cell phone. Think "I'm so bored" and "O-M-G." They're left one day at the Japanese Friendship Garden by parents hoping they'll find a bit of bliss. But the pair finds something more — a renewed appreciation for nature, family and community. Even each other.
The simple storyline is punctuated by music, dance and martial arts performance. There's traditional Japanese dance featuring Mari Kaneta (whose choreography and dance I enjoyed with daughter Lizabeth during the 1996 Arizona Opera production of "Madama Butterfly"), taiko drumming by Fushicho Daiko and Jakara, martial arts by a trio from Arizona Aikiko and dance by the ASU Japanese Student Association's Soran Bushi Dancers. It all comes together in the service of a single message.
Only the cherry tree's strong roots make its beautiful blossoms possible.
— Lynn

Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA — Vandenberg Air Force Base's new fitness center is under construction and set to be green.
The 51,000-square-foot fitness center integrates contemporary technologies, modern architecture and environmentally friendly features, according to ECC, an engineering and construction company in Burlingame, CA, that is providing design-build services for the new facility.
Major design features include three NCAA-sized basketball courts, three volleyball courts, two massage rooms, four saunas, a juice bar, shower and locker facilities, administration offices, and a 7,800-square-foot cardio and free weight area.
The construction cost for the facility in California is estimated at about $15.5 million.
"We're always thinking about new and innovative design-build approaches for our clients," says Eric Rypple, ECC senior structural engineer. "On this project, for example, we introduced a tilt-up wall (a low-cost construction technique) as a means to give the client more building for less money than conventional concrete/mason block walls."
The design follows national Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System guidelines, which were developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, Rypple says.
"When designing the center, our team tailored our concept drawings to retain the integrity and architecture of the base, while at the same time, incorporating LEED design and construction standards and state-of-the-art amenities," he says.
The fitness center is scheduled for completion in March 2009.

In February 2013, the Inpatient Rehabilitation Program at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center received reaccreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for its rehabilitation, brain injury, stroke specialty, and amputation programs.
This is the sixth consecutive 3-year accreditation that the international accrediting body has awarded to Wake Forest Baptist. "The CARF philosophy and framework have facilitated our programs' person-centered and transdisciplinary approach to care as well as our development of linkages with community agencies that are essential to the system of care for persons with disability," said Amy Crews, administrative director of Rehabilitation Services at Wake Forest Baptist.
This accreditation represents the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded for rehabilitation and shows the organization's substantial conformance to CARF standards. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process. It has demonstrated to a team of surveyors its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.

Alumni Enjoy Fun-Filled Reunions
October 22, 2013
Nearly 1,000 alumni, friends, and family headed back to campus in June for a whirlwind weekend of class reunion activities, including a traditional salmon bake and barbecue plus a fun-filled carnival and more.
In addition to reconnecting with old roommates and classmates, alumni relived their housing experience in style in the new Holmes Hall, enjoyed a variety of Alumni College classes, and caught late-night live music and fire arts performances around campus. The Albany Society, the college's honorary group for alumni who graduated more than 50 years ago, inducted 24 new members from the class of 1963 and then celebrated by dancing to big band music.
In a strong show of support for the college, alumni gave $151,042 in reunion gifts. The class of 1983 won the award for the biggest gift with $71,364, and the class of 1988 won for greatest increase in participation.
Check out additional photos from Reunion Weekend.

There are some foods you should avoid eating during pregnancy because they could cause food poisoning.
There are some foods you should avoid eating during pregnancy because they could cause food poisoning, and the possible presence of bacteria, chemicals or parasites in these foods could harm your unborn baby.
Cheeses like this are made with mould and can contain listeria bacteria that cause listeriosis. Although an infection with listeria is rare, even a mild form of this infection in a pregnant woman can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth or severe illness in a newborn baby.
See also:
Eggs produced under the British Lion Code of Practice are safe for pregnant women to eat raw or partially cooked. These eggs have a red lion logo stamped on their shell.
You should avoid any raw or undercooked eggs not produced under the lion code, and any foods that contain them such as homemade mayonnaise.
Make sure eggs without the lion code are thoroughly cooked until the whites and yolks are solid. This prevents the risk of salmonella food poisoning.
Duck eggs, quail eggs and goose eggs should be cooked until the whites and yolks are solid.
Do not drink raw (unpasteurised) milk, including unpasteurised goats' or sheep's milk, or any food that is made of them, such as soft goats' cheese.
If only raw or green-top milk is available, boil it first.
Avoid all types of pâté, including vegetable pâtés, as they can contain listeria.
Do not eat raw or undercooked meat.
Cook all meat and poultry thoroughly so there's no trace of pink or blood. Be particularly careful with sausages and minced meat.
The latest advice from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) is that pregnant women should take care when eating cold cured meats such as salami, chorizo, pepperoni and prosciutto, because these meats are not cooked but cured and fermented, so they may contain toxoplasmosis-causing parasites.
It's best to check the instructions on the pack to see whether the product is ready-to-eat or needs cooking first.
For ready-to-eat meats, you can reduce any risk from parasites by freezing cured/fermented meats for four days at home before you eat them. Freezing kills most parasites, making the meat safer to eat.
Avoid liver or liver products, such as liver pâté or liver sausage, as they may contain a lot of vitamin A. Too much vitamin A can harm your baby.
Don't take:
There are some types of fish you should limit, such as tuna and oily fish, and some types of fish you should avoid completely, such as shark. Also, don't eat raw shellfish when pregnant, as it can cause food poisoning.
You should avoid drinking alcohol if you're pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Too much exposure to alcohol can seriously affect your baby's development.
You should limit caffeine during pregnancy – avoid having more than 200 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a day. High levels of caffeine can cause babies to have a low birthweight. Too much caffeine can also cause a miscarriage. Caffeine is found naturally in some foods and is added to some soft drinks.
Wash fruit, vegetables and salads to remove all traces of soil, which may contain toxoplasma, a parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis. For more information, see:

Pure Michigan tourism conference
Michigan's tourism industry can expect another strong year, with both travel volume and spending expected to rise, according to an annual forecast released Monday by Michigan State University researchers.
The outlook, presented at the Pure Michigan Governor's Conference on Tourism being held near Traverse City, calls for tourism spending, as measured by hotel and motel sales and use-tax receipts, to grow 4.5 percent this year, which would eclipse a 4.1 percent increase in 2013. Travel volume is projected to rise 1.5 percent, compared with 2013's 3 percent increase.
An improving economy, national tourism trends and the acclaimed Pure Michigan advertising campaign are among factors playing in Michigan's favor and contributing to growth.
For example, in terms of the economy, elements like gas prices, higher consumer confidence and improvement in the housing market contribute to travelers' outlook.
"As it relates to tourism, there's very little in the economy that suggests any downturn in people's willingness" to spend or travel, said Dan McCole, assistant professor in MSU's Department of Community Sustainability.
Nationally, twice as many people prioritize saving for travel, compared to saving for a car or hobbies, based on data from the U.S. Travel Association.
And leisure travel is leading U.S. tourism growth, rising 42 percent since 2000, compared with a 3 percent decrease in business travel in that period. "This is good news for Michigan. In Michigan … a lot bigger part of our overall tourism mix is traveling for leisure," McCole said.
Post-recession travelers "are starting to spend more, but also weeding out wasteful spending," he said. And they're informed and savvy in their travel decisions, which raises the bar for destinations and businesses to differentiate themselves and communicate that to travelers, McCole said.
Another trend is that increasingly, travelers are "wanting a more authentic experience, a more local experience," he said. That could include, for example, trying out local wines or craft brews, eating at restaurants that source ingredients locally, or visiting unique attractions.
Thanks to Pure Michigan
Helping to drive travelers to Michigan is the award-winning Pure Michigan campaign. An additional $4 million in the current fiscal year enabled the state to include Toronto in its media buy for the first time this spring, increase promotion in the United Kingdom and Germany, and enter China. In the state budget for upcoming fiscal 2015, Gov. Rick Snyder has proposed an additional $2 million, bringing the campaign to $31 million.
Further discussion of Pure Michigan and 2014 plans is on tap today at the conference, in a presentation by Travel Michigan vice president George Zimmermann. It will be his final observations and analysis on Michigan tourism; Zimmermann, who has been in his post since October 2001, has announced he is leaving at the end of April. Among many things, Zimmermann led the team, both at Travel Michigan and its advertising agency, McCann Erickson, that created, launched and built the Pure Michigan campaign.
His impact, and departure, are being widely noted at the conference.
The years that Zimmermann has been with the state "have been among the most challenging for the tourism industry," McCole said, as he opened his presentation.
Addressing Zimmermann in the audience, McCole said: "I think the greatest contribution that you've made is that you've given Michiganders a reason to be proud of their state again."

Paul Fox is a survivor of the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center. He was in the south tower, on the phone with a colleague in the north tower when the first plane hit. We had the privilege of talking to him about his experience that day, how God clearly protected him, and how his life has changed since that day 12 years ago.
The old cliché says "a picture is worth a thousand words", but in this case… this picture is worth an unending flood of thousands upon thousands of thoughts, emotions, and memories of the day our world changed. Even though 12 years have passed, looking at a photo like this brings it all back again for me- like it just happened.
On this day we remember… the victims and first responders who perished, and those families who still have an empty place in their lives, missing someone who they will never see again in this life.
Maybe today is a good day to give an extra hug to someone dear to you in thankfulness for what we have and to pray for those who are sacrificing to protect our freedoms and our families.
Remembering with you,
Matt Stockman – SPIRIT 105.3 Program Director

The bustling metropolis on the Rhine
Whether visiting the Roman-Germanic Museum, the tour of the Roman Praetorium or on a stroll along the medieval city gates - the 2000-year history of Cologne is evident everywhere. But also the modern Cologne is always in vibration - more intense than ever. Looking at the event calender of recent years, a clear trend is obvious: greater, more international, more important. In recent years, many major events have been visiting the city – so the 2010 IIHF World Championship will join an illustrious list of the most important international (sports) events in Cologne.
But also recurring events such as the Cologne Carnival, the Cologne lights, the Cologne Pride or the Christmas markets are major crowd-pullers. Annually unique sights, big and small events and the "Kölsche feeling" draw more than 110 million day guests. In 2007, 2.5 million arrivals and 4.5 million overnight stays in Cologne were registered.
With over one million inhabitants, centrally located in Western Europe, the Rhine metropolis developes to one of the most important economic centres in Europe. Examples: Cologne's main railway station as a central railway junction of Europe, the Cologne Bonn Airport as an important site for low-cost carrier, easy access to the national highway network and the second-largest German inland port ensure optimum accessibility.
Europe's largest and most modern multifunctional arena is provided with up to 20,000 seats, 83,700 square metres of usable space, big screens for direct video transmissions, restaurants, bistros, bars, shops and, of course, a modern stage, sound and light systems of highest possible standards. The experience from other world championships – such as the 2001 IIHF World Championship, the handball World Championship in 2007 or the World Champion fight of Wladimir Klitschko – underline the uniqueness of the multifunctional LANXESS arena in the heart of Europe. And countless international stars - including Elton John, Tina Turner, Anna Netrebko, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Rod Stewart, Cher and many others – were highly satisfied guests.
In the spacious, glass-structured building which is dominated by a 76-metre-high steel arch, all kinds of events take place: sports, concerts, shows, events and entertainment. In addition, also annual general meetings of international companies, world congresses and meetings are hosted in the LANXESS arena. Up to 2,000 employees in the fields of security, service and gastronomy ensure the high quality and standards.

When you are a child, there are few things more magical than snow. It has the power to transform the landscape, stop time, and make the whole world sparkle. Usual routines are pulled apart thread by thread until no shred of our ordinary day-to-day life remains. Gone are the structures of the workday and the school schedule. Gone are the usual rules and bedtimes. The outside world closes up shop and leaves us to our own devices.
When you are a child, snow turns the world into your playground. Where once there were only the familiar sights of your familiar world, there is now a vast, white expanse of possibilities. Like a blank canvas stretched out over real life, snow opens small imaginations to endless creations and adventures.
When you are a child, a snow bank becomes your noble charger, carrying you to battle on the field of war. It becomes a dragon, released from an icy spell and here to carry you into the cold, starry sky. It becomes a fort, a bunker, a castle, and the den of the mysterious ice bear – once king of the arctic, now a refugee who needs to be rescued and restored to his throne.
When you are a child, snow takes you back in time to a day when children ran amuck through the neighborhood. You meet in the streets to forge alliances and arrange expeditions. You trek up treacherous mountainsides, search for the legendary Yeti, and excavate frozen dinosaur bones. Sometimes, snow inspires creative domesticity and an afternoon is filled with the assembly and serving of snow sodas, pizzas, cupcakes, and stews.
When you are a grownup, there are few things more disruptive than snow. It changes plans, complicates your day, and adds dozens of items to your to-do list. It rips you away from your intentions, rerouting you according to Mother Nature's whims and fancies. Gone are any extra minutes you might have had, filled now with hurried errands, last-minute preparations, and constant monitoring of the news and weather.
When you are a grownup, snow transforms your world into a dangerous obstacle course of closed roads, downed wires, and icy driving conditions. It cuts you off from the outside world and all its conveniences. It threatens to pluck you from the twenty-first century and deposit you in a past without electricity or modern communication devices.
When you are a grownup, snow is more of a bother than a wonder; but when you are a grownup with the eyes and heart of a child, snow still has the power to enchant. It quiets the world. Motors stop. Nature hushes. Even the voices in our heads cease their chattering. The usual expectations and obligations drop away as the flakes fall. For a little while, we are released from our regular responsibilities.
When you are a grownup with the imagination of a child, you can see snow's reinvention of the world for what it is – a chance to step out of the ordinary into the fantastic, to experience delight, to contemplate the possibility of change. Even better, if you let your grownup imagination take flight, you may find that you don't need the magic of snow to see the boundless opportunities you have for creativity and adventure. All you need is a willingness to see the world in a different way and the courage to go out in it and explore.

The Mother's Day Offering began in 1924 as a benevolent ministry of North Carolina Baptists to help patients in serious financial need at North Carolina Baptist Hospital pay their hospital bills in the name of Jesus Christ.
Recipients of the Mother's Day Offering have limited income and "fall between the cracks" of assistance. They have too much to qualify for Medicaid or full charity care – but not enough to pay their hospital bills. Many have lost their jobs or cannot work due to illness. They worry every day about how to pay their hospital bills, maintain their households, and not lose everything.
In the midst of their fears, they receive a letter from Church and Community Relations that says, "Your hospital bill has been paid by compassionate and mission-minded North Carolina Baptists in the name of Jesus Christ and His love."
Heart warming stories of gratitude by recent recipients can be seen at www.mothersdayoffering.org.
Patients are financially screened by Resource Recovery Specialists in Patient Financial Resources. Financial summaries are obtained to verify the needs (income and expenses) and to rule out any other source of assistance.
The Baptist Benevolent Committee (six N.C. Baptist ministers and lay persons) meets quarterly to prayerfully determine who should receive assistance. The amount may vary from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per patient.

Portrait captures Cunningham as a surgeon
By Doug Boyd
ECU News Services
Dr. Paul Cunningham and his wife, Sydney, are shown after Cunningham's portrait was unveiled during a ceremony Wednesday at the Brody School of Medicine. Photo by Cliff Hollis
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Apr. 26, 2012) — A portrait of Dr. Paul Cunningham standing in his office and wearing surgical scrubs will soon hang in the lobby of the Brody Medical Sciences Building.
A surgeon by training, Cunningham was named the fifth dean of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University in 2008. His likeness will join those of the deans who preceded him and that of the late Chancellor Leo Jenkins, who spearheaded the creation of the medical school.
"This is a warning to the faculty: This is what you get when you become a dean," Cunningham quipped after unveiling the portrait with his wife, Sydney, ECU Chancellor Steve Ballard and Dr. Phyllis Horns, ECU vice chancellor for health sciences. The unveiling took place Wednesday at the Brody Building.
Afterward, Cunningham said he was honored by the occasion and the attention.
"The real reason for us all to have gathered was to celebrate the legacy of leadership that has supported the work of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University since its inception," he said. "It is inspiring to once again sense the strong and passionate support for the work and mission of the school."
Approximately 30 years ago, Dr. Walter Pories persuaded Cunningham to drive about 50 miles from his practice in the rural town of Windsor to teach a few classes at ECU. "To the embarrassment of the faculty, he quickly became the most popular teacher," Pories said.
Pories, who at the time was chair of surgery at ECU, then hired him to be a full-time faculty member. Cunningham began at ECU as a general surgeon, then took on transplant surgery, bariatric surgery and trauma surgery.
"One of the reasons he's such as good dean is he's a superb doctor," Pories said.
Cunningham left ECU in 2002 to become chair of surgery at State University of New York-Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, N.Y. He remained there until returning to ECU.
The portrait also shows a photo of the Cunninghams' four children.
One day while walking, Cunningham and his wife talked about what he should look like in the portrait.
"I asked him, 'Who do you feel you are at your core?'" said Sydney Cunningham. "He thought about it for a second and said, 'I'm a surgeon.'
"I said, 'Well, you ought to wear your scrubs,'" she said.
Seeing the painting for the first time brought tears to her eyes, she said, "because it depicts who Paul is. He's a healer, a generous soul and a kind, kind person and a remarkable surgeon."
The portrait was painted by Irene Bailey of Emerald Isle, an award-winning artist and ECU graduate. Eighteen of her portraits hang at ECU, along with other works of art by her.

Make a Recycled Twig Birdhouse
Your child can turn an old milk carton into a unique and quaint birdhouse with the help of some twigs from the yard and a hot glue gun! Birds love a place to get out of the rain or cozy up during a snowfall. Along with making a cute new house for birds, your child will learn more about the birds native to your neighborhood!
What You Need:
- Small 1-quart milk carton
- Twigs
- Hot glue gun
- Small juice glass
- Marker
- Scissors
- Whole punch
What You Do:
- Head outside with your child and pick up some twigs from around your yard and neighborhood. While out for the nature walk, your child can get a closer look at any birds native to your area! She can do some more research about native birds at your local library or on the Internet if she wishes.
- Invite your child to use a ruler to measure the sides of the carton to help determine how long her twigs should be. She can also give the milk carton a good rinse to make sure it's clean before beginning the project.
- Now she can use the ruler to measure the twigs and then cut them with scissors so she has a good stack of twigs for her birdhouse. While she's measuring and cutting, your child can also plug in the hot glue gun to get warmed up.
- Before beginning to cover the milk carton, invite your child to cut a small hole in one side of the carton for the birds to get in and out of their new home! If she needs help tracing, have her use a small juice glass as a stencilfor the hole.
- Have her use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of the carton, to use for hanging later.
- Now your child can begin attaching the twigs to the birdhouse, working slowly and gluing the twigs as close together as possible so none of the milk carton shows through!
- When she gets to the side with the hole cut out, have her cut the twigs to fit around the hole, and also the hole at the top of the carton.
- Once her birdhouse is finished, she can thread a string through the top hole and hang in a tree where she can see which birds decide to call it their new home!

You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News.
Newspaper correspondent Ernie Pyle reported from the frontlines of World War II. His dispatches often read like letters home from the troops. Pyle's columns won him the Pulitzer Prize. His life made it to the silver screen. And in a rare honor for a civilian, he was even awarded a Purple Heart. Pyle was born and raised in a tiny Indiana town where a once expansive museum pays tribute to him.
But, as Sara Wittmeyer of member station WFIU reports, that museum now faces perhaps its greatest challenge.
SARA WITTMEYER, BYLINE: Before Ernie Pyle became a renowned war correspondent for Scripps Howard News Service, he lived here in Dana, Indiana, a farming town of 400 near the Illinois border. As soon as you come into town, you're pointed to the one thing that would bring you here: the Ernie Pyle Museum. Philip Hess is on the board of directors for the Friends of Ernie Pyle. He's standing on the steps of the visitor center.
PHILIP HESS: Would you like to see the - take the whole tour? I'd like for you to.
WITTMEYER: Sure.
HESS: This is his birthplace.
WITTMEYER: The private tour through Pyle's boyhood home offers an early 20th-century glimpse into the life of one of America's most famous journalists. It winds through the sitting room into Pyle's parents' room and onto the kitchen and the living room. From there, you go outside and into the visitor center, a connected pair of restored Army Quonset huts from World War II. Throughout the exhibit, life-size tableaus depict some of Pyle's most famous columns.
HESS: This is a picture of the beach as it was when Ernie came ashore at Normandy one day after the invasion.
WITTMEYER: And when you press a button, actor William Windom's voice comes on and reads the article.
WILLIAM WINDOM: (Reading) I took a walk along the historic coast of Normandy in the country of France. It was a lovely day for strolling on the seashore. Men were sleeping on the sand, some of them sleeping forever. Men were floating in the water, but they didn't know they were in the water for they were dead.
WITTMEYER: Pyle was known for putting a human face on war, befriending and traveling with the troops until he was killed by a sniper in 1945 near Okinawa. After his death, Dana residents began collecting stories and artifacts to put on display here. The state staffed the museum. That was up until last year. Indiana was spending more than $40,000 on the museum, which was drawing about 2,000 visitors a year. Historical sites vice president Bruce Beesley says the state simply couldn't justify the museum's costs.
BRUCE BEESLEY: We need to make a decision on what was the most effective and efficient ways to tell the Ernie Pyle story.
WITTMEYER: Indiana officials determined the best way to tell Pyle's story was to cherry-pick the best things from the site - everything from his field typewriter to his famous Zippo lighter with the initials E.P. carved into it - and display them in the state museum in Indianapolis. Hess was told that more people will visit the Pyle exhibit there in one year than would have traveled to Dana in 100. While he doesn't dispute that, he says it's just not the same.
HESS: In Indianapolis, they see who Ernie Pyle was. Here, you get to feel what his writing was about, and a fair number of people who see the exhibits leave here in tears.
WITTMEYER: The Ernie Pyle Museum is back under the ownership of the Friends group, which opens it to the public in the summer or by appointment. And now before you exit the Quonset huts, you pass by a large donation box marked with these words: Help keep the site open. For NPR News, I'm Sara Wittmeyer.

My blog has a new feature! Scroll down to the bottom of this posting for a printable version of this recipe!
A few days ago, my son reminded me how much he misses his grandmother, and how he associates German "pfannkuchen" (pancakes) with fond memories of her. I realized I hadn't made these in a very long time-- they are so basic and simple, yet they are truly very "comforting".
My mother, who was born and raised in Southern Germany (Bavaria) served these pancakes to her three kids. Sometimes, my mother would chop the cooked pancakes into tiny bite sized pies-- right into the pan. This is called "schmarn"-- loosely translated "junk", but it when used in Bavarian it translates into "nonsense". We loved pouring pancakes syrup all over "schmarn".
Overall, the pancakes, folded in half and filled with strawberry jam is our very favorite.
I've developed my own version of rolling the pancakes, more like a crepe. Sometimes, I like to add fresh squeezed lemon juice and powdered sugar. This morning, I used the rest of the
lemon curd that I had made . Wow! Happy memories. I thought I'd share a few of mine with all of you:
I hope that you give these a try. My mother would have been pleased to know that you did!

Mellin, Abraham Philippus (17th century)
Abraham Philippus Mellin (Mellinus, Mailing), (dates of birth and death unknown), was in the early 17th century a Reformed pastor at St. Anthonispolder, Dutch province of South Holland. He published the Eerste deel van het Groot Rechtgevoelende Christen Martelaers-Boeck . . . (Dordrecht, 1619). This martyr book deals only with the Christian martyrs until 1520; Mellin's intention to continue his work and list also the martyrs of the Reformation period was not carried out. Mellin's book, which shows evidence of thorough scholarship, was used by T. J. van Braght for his Martyrs Mirror. In 1656 it was severely criticized by the Catholic Arnout van Geluwe.

Thanksgiving Leftovers, 5 ideas and recipes for the aftermath. 1 comment
Some call it Black Friday, others call it the Sale and Shopping Day, but most of us know it as National Leftover Day.
While turkey sandwiches are an American classic, here are the top 5 ideas and recipes for other great ways to use your Thanksgiving dinner leftovers.
1. Thanksgiving Leftover Calzone
Start a new tradition with a Thanksgiving Leftover Calzone.
Trust me, this is the best way to use leftovers ever.
Make a simple pizza dough or use a prepackaged one.
Lay down turkey, then stuffing, mashed potatoes and then drops of cranberry sauce.
Fold over, seal, and brush with some egg wash.
Cook at 350 for 20 minutes or until just brown and then drizzle with gravy.

Pictures in the Snow - Imaging
Lesson 6 of 19
Objective: SWBAT draw images to demonstrate understanding of the character and how he responds to events and challenges in the story.
- The Snowy Day Ezra Jack Keats
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: imaging**, characters, literature
- Set up the whiteboard
- 'Imaging with Evidence' worksheet
- blue construction paper, white crayon and glue stick - one for each student
- white scrap paper
- 'Imaging & Visualizing' poster (I'll be adding to this chart throughout my imaging/visualizing unit)
I chose this classic because I think that students should read award winning stories, such as this one. Although the boy's coat and some scenes are dated, the story is engaging and my kids related well to the concepts of playing in the snow. We had a good discussion about books that are favorites and classics. They kids were amazed at how 'old' this book was!
** "Imaging" is the term that my district uses for "visualizing". In order to stay true to the district expectations, I'll continue to use this verbage. Visualizing is a critical skill for 2nd graders because they need to 'go deeper' in the text. By visualizing as they read, they are creating and tweaking images in their minds as they actively read. This kind of 'close reading', forming images using text, verifying and changing those images, and ultimately comparing their images to the author, creates critical readers and deepens comprehension.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Common starting point
- Use your imagination for a moment - close your eyes and pictures snow - all over the ground, falling from the sky, snow hills, snow angels, footprints, snowballs.... can you see it?"
- "Today we'll read a literature book and use our imaging strategy to think about how a character reacts to the snow and what words help us know this."
The critical part of this lesson is to show students how the authors puts specific words into the text to describe and elaborate on characters. Using the imaging strategy allows them to be creative, but use the text to find evidence of how the characters change (RL.2.3). This kind of 'close reading', asking students to verify in the text to demonstrate understanding of character development, is a shift in the thinking for the Common Core Standards.
I am working on imaging/visualizing throughout this unit by helping students realize that this powerful reading strategy can really deepen comprehension. Take a look at some of my other lessons, utilizing the 'Imaging/Visualizing' poster mentioned in the materials section: Imagine That-Make a Picture in Your Mind, Picture This-Lost and Found on a Mountain, Oh No! Duck for President-Imagine That!, Extend Your World, and Imagine What An Inchworm Would Say.

Teacher's Turn
Give the purpose of the lesson
- "The character in this book is a little boy - maybe 1st or 2nd grade who loves to play in the snow. Can any of you connect with those ideas?"
- "When we use imaging to think about characters, there are words in the text that help us create good images. Today we'll identify those words and then create images."
- I'll add that to the 'Imaging/visualizing Strategy' chart:
- Images help us describe the characters.
- "Let's see what this boy does in the snow. When we're done, you can create your own images of what you like to do in the snow."
Introduce strategy - teacher models
- Read through the page 'Crunch, Crunch, Crunch...' and DON'T SHOW the picture.
- "I'll use imaging to make a picture in my mind of what is happening. I imagine deep snow. Let me think about how does the character reacts to this. He makes footprints that go different directions. What words help me to know that? - toes pointed in, toes pointed out." Write those on the organizer.
- Here's what our discussion about using words from the text looked like.
Practice strategy - guided practice
- "Let's try one together." Read through the next few pages and stop (don't show the picture).
- This is what our discussion of imaging looked like with student input.
- Continue to focus on how the character faces obstacles and challenges. (i.e. When the kids won't let him play)
As students create images in their mind, they are using the text and ultimately the illustrations to add meaning (RL.2.7) and then comparing their perceptions to the author's illustrations. The shift in Common Core standards requires the students to actively read and take ownership of their reading to facilitate their learning process by being active participants in their own learning.

Students Take a Turn
Set up Task
- I'm passing out a copy of an 'imaging' organizer for you. There is a 'thought bubble' for you to draw your image. You can show what the character is doing and write the words that helped you create that image on the lines."
- "I"ll read the text two times and then pause while you draw your image and identify the words."
Read through the text
- I stopped at the different pages and give the kids time to image.
- Continue to encourage students to check the text, as in these examples of the smiling snowman and this example of rechecking words (2 or 3 friends).
- As needed, you can add spelling help on the whiteboard.
- This was the completed whiteboard.
- Here are my students' worksheets.
Formative Assessment
- As students work, walk around and ask questions to assess their understanding. "Why did you pick those words? Does that image represent those words? What did you draw?"
- Using this time to 'peek' into the students' reasoning and thinking is a valuable tool to help you assess what they understand and what you need to cover more fully.
- When students ask questions about what to write or how to draw, remind them to use the text as a resource before asking for help.
Resources (6)
Share What You've Learned
Share what you know
- "You've done a GREAT job identifying words and creating images with those words. Now we'll do it backwards."
- "Think of some fun things to do in the snow. You are the character - what do you like to do in the snow? If you were 'challenged' with a big snowfall, what would you do? Let's make a list."
- "I'll create an image of me doing something fun with scrap paper. No markers or pencils or scissors - just rip the paper. It's fun."
- "Now that I have my example, I need some words to describe what I'm doing. Write down 2-3 words in the thought bubble."
- Here are some of my students' projects.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
Students with learning challenges may need to work with the teacher or partner. They may need some help thinking of vocabulary to describe the words and for spelling.
Students with greater ability should be able to read the text and choose some of the higher level vocabulary to describe their image. Have them go beyond 'fun' and 'snow', to 'freezing' or 'chilly' or even 'frigid'.

The actual cost of hospital care became a lot clearer for consumers on Wednesday when the Obama administration released the average prices charged by more than 3,000 U.S. hospitals for the 100 most common medical procedures.
The 2011 data, which shows wide cost variations at hospitals across the country – and in the same city or geographic area – raise questions about how treatment prices are determined and why the information has been so hard to get in the past.
The findings are available on the Department of Health and Human Services website, www.hhs.gov, at the so-called "chargemaster rates," or internal price lists that hospitals typically charged uninsured patients and those who pay out of pocket. Rates paid by private insurers and public health plans like Medicare and Medicaid are typically much lower.
The cost information is being released for the first time with the intent to "save consumers money by arming them with better information that can help them make better choices," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
"When consumers can easily compare the prices of goods and services, producers have strong incentives to keep those prices low," Sebelius said. "Hospitals that charge two or three times the going rate will rightfully face greater scrutiny. And those that charge lower rates may gain new customers."
Inpatient charges to treat heart failure in Denver hospitals, for instance, ranged from a low of $21,000 to a high cost of $46,000, while the same procedure ranged from $9,000 to $51,000 at hospitals in Jackson, Miss. Inpatient costs related to joint replacement ranged from $5,300 at a hospital in Ada, Okla., up to a high of $223,000 at a hospital in Monterey Park, Calif.
That kind of price disparity puzzled Jon Blum, director of the federal Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services. He said the cost variations could possibly reflect the health status of the patient, whether a hospital charges more because it trains future doctors, and even whether a hospital has higher capital costs that are passed on to patients.
But Blum added: "Those reasons don't seem very apparent to us."
He said the charges "don't seem to make sense to us from a consumer standpoint. There's no relationship that we see to charges and the quality of care that's being provided."
In a statement, Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association, said the hospital price lists were a part of the health care system that urgently needs updating. He said variations in the prices were a "byproduct of the marketplace, so all parties must be involved in a solution, including the government."
"The complex and bewildering interplay among 'charges,' 'rates,' 'bills' and 'payments' across dozens of payers, public and private, does not serve any stakeholder well, including hospitals," Umbdenstock said in the statement. "This is especially true when what is most important to a patient is knowing what his or her financial responsibility is."
Even though more than 40 states require or encourage hospitals to make their charges and payment rates public, the hospital association supports federal price transparency legislation sponsored by Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas. Burgess' proposal would require state Medicaid plans to ensure that states would pass laws requiring hospitals to make their charges readily available to the public and to provide information about patients' estimated out-of-pocket costs.
Umbdenstock said it would create antitrust risks for hospitals to share rate information negotiated by insurers.
Additional hospital cost data, possibly on outpatient charges, will be made public in the future, Blum said, as part of the Obama administration's health care overhaul goal of increased medical cost transparency and savings. The agency will provide this and other data to different organizations that collect, analyze and publish health pricing data.
UPDATE: A corrected version moved that CORRECTED the spelling of the name of Jon Blum (NOT John) in seventh paragraph

Lawmakers continue hunt for pension crisis fix
Lawmakers continue hunt for pension crisis fix
Jul. 08, 2013
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A bipartisan panel of Illinois lawmakers reported minor progress Monday in negotiations over the state's nearly $100 billion pension crisis, even as another deadline set by Gov. Pat Quinn was set to lapse without a solution.
In a small step forward, the 10-member group prepared to seek a more comprehensive analysis of a university-backed retirement funding proposal after meeting Monday. Quinn gave the committee a Tuesday deadline, but lawmakers repeatedly said they wouldn't meet it.
"We're just brainstorming now," state Rep. Darlene Senger, a Naperville Republican said. "It's really all about the numbers at this point."
Lawmakers moved to form the committee — with members appointed by legislative leaders in each chamber — after a compromise couldn't be reached last month. The panel had invited Quinn to speak at Monday's hearing, their third overall and the first in Springfield. But Quinn declined, saying committee members know where he stands and that his budget office will speak on his behalf.
Presenting were representatives from three of the state's retirement systems and the governor's budget director, Jerry Stermer, who was roundly criticized by committee members for pushing what they considered to be an unreasonable deadline.
Committee chair Kwame Raoul reminded Stermer it takes time to craft legislation and called for the governor to "cast politics aside and allow the conference committee to do the work."
"I share the sense of urgency, but I appreciate the conversations the committee has had under challenging circumstances," Raoul, a Chicago Democrat, said. "We've worked well together in a bipartisan, bicameral manner. I want to make clear, I'm not an actuary. The legislature cannot do anything that has not been appropriately scored," Raoul said.
State Rep. Mike Fortner, a West Chicago Republican, went over his own separate proposal that would require bond payments to be redirected to the state's pension fund once bonds mature. The plan also would increase employee contributions and cap pension benefits.
State Rep. Elaine Nekritz, a leading pension negotiator, said following the meeting the committee likely will send a proposal supported by university presidents off for an analysis of what it would ultimately cost the state. That number crunching process could take several weeks.
The plan, advanced by the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois, requires workers to pay more toward their retirement and links cost-of-living increases to inflation. It also shifts the employer pension contribution — currently paid by the state — to the schools over time, and guarantees the state will make its full annual payment to eliminate the pension debt.
Some lawmakers see the proposal as a possible framework to build on in order to move past a divide over dueling pension plans supported by House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, both Chicago Democrats. The House-backed plan, which would come with significant cost savings, imposes across-the-board changes to pension recipients and raises the retirement age. The Senate plan would give workers a choice in the benefits they'd receive upon retirement, and supporters say it would have a better chance of passing constitutional muster.
"Let's look at the savings in the (university-supported) proposal and see where we land," Nekritz, a Northbrook Democrat, said.
Illinois' unfunded pension liability is hovering around $100 billion due largely to lawmakers voting over decades to either skip or short the state's pension payment. Making that full payment now costs the state more than $6 billion each year, an amount that takes money away from other areas, such as schools and public safety.
The pension mess "As you know I'm an optimist but we've been working on this for two years and also has prompted the three major credit-rating agencies to lower Illinois' credit rating to the lowest of any state in the nation.
After signing legislation to combat gang violence in Chicago Monday, Quinn again called on members of the Legislature to put a pension reform bill on his desk.
"They've had one excuse after another for the last two years," Quinn said. "If they don't do their job by tomorrow, there'll be consequences."
Stermer expressed concerns about the pace of work being done by the committee, although he didn't propose any alternative solutions or spell out what "consequences" Quinn was referring to if the deadline passes.
"As you know I'm an optimist but we've been working on this for two years and haven't seen (progress)," he said. "The proof is in the pudding so when the bill is on the governor's desk I'll be able to feel comfortable."

Daily Readings for Tuesday March 20, 2012
Reading 1, Ezekiel 47:1-9, 12
1 He brought me back to the entrance of the Temple, where a stream flowed eastwards from under the Temple threshold, for the Temple faced east. The water flowed from under the right side of the Temple, south of the altar.
2 He took me out by the north gate and led me right round outside as far as the outer east gate where the water flowed out on the right-hand side.
3 The man went off to the east holding his measuring line and measured off a thousand cubits; he then made me wade across the stream; the water reached my ankles.
4 He measured off another thousand and made me wade across the stream again; the water reached my knees. He measured off another thousand and made me wade across the stream again; the water reached my waist.
5 He measured off another thousand; it was now a river which I could not cross; the stream had swollen and was now deep water, a river impossible to cross.
6 He then said, 'Do you see, son of man?' He then took me and brought me back to the bank on the river.
7 Now, when I reached it, I saw an enormous number of trees on each bank of the river.
8 He said, 'This water flows east down to the Arabah and to the sea; and flowing into the sea it makes its waters wholesome.
9 Wherever the river flows, all living creatures teeming in it will live. Fish will be very plentiful, for wherever the water goes it brings health, and life teems wherever the river flows.
12 Along the river, on either bank, will grow every kind of fruit tree with leaves that never wither and fruit that never fails; they will bear new fruit every month, because this water comes from the sanctuary. And their fruit will be good to eat and the leaves medicinal.'
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 46:2-3, 5-6, 8-9
2 so we shall not be afraid though the earth be in turmoil, though mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,
3 and its waters roar and seethe, and the mountains totter as it heaves. (Yahweh Sabaoth is with us, our citadel, the God of Jacob.)Pause
5 God is in the city, it cannot fall; at break of day God comes to its rescue.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are tumbling, when he raises his voice the earth crumbles away.
8 Come, consider the wonders of Yahweh, the astounding deeds he has done on the earth;
9 he puts an end to wars over the whole wide world, he breaks the bow, he snaps the spear, shields he burns in the fire.
Gospel, John 5:1-3, 5-16
1 After this there was a Jewish festival, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now in Jerusalem next to the Sheep Pool there is a pool called Bethesda in Hebrew, which has five porticos;
3 and under these were crowds of sick people, blind, lame, paralysed.
5 One man there had an illness which had lasted thirty-eight years,
6 and when Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had been in that condition for a long time, he said, 'Do you want to be well again?'
7 'Sir,' replied the sick man, 'I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is disturbed; and while I am still on the way, someone else gets down there before me.'
8 Jesus said, 'Get up, pick up your sleeping-mat and walk around.'
9 The man was cured at once, and he picked up his mat and started to walk around. Now that day happened to be the Sabbath,
10 so the Jews said to the man who had been cured, 'It is the Sabbath; you are not allowed to carry your sleeping-mat.'
11 He replied, 'But the man who cured me told me, "Pick up your sleeping-mat and walk around." '
12 They asked, 'Who is the man who said to you, "Pick up your sleeping-mat and walk around"? '
13 The man had no idea who it was, since Jesus had disappeared, as the place was crowded.
14 After a while Jesus met him in the Temple and said, 'Now you are well again, do not sin any more, or something worse may happen to you.'
15 The man went back and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had cured him.
16 It was because he did things like this on the Sabbath that the Jews began to harass Jesus.

Okay I have to admit it!! If I see an interesting dirt road I feel compelled to investigate. Of course if there is a no trespassing sign with a picture of a gun.. I'll move on. Seeing a flicker of a bright melon orange colored cottage through the trees peeked my interest. It sat next to a thatch roofed gazebo. Beyond was an area untouched and full of tropical vegetation.
Who lives in this interesting cottage?
