wilbur Twinhorse:
Good evening folks, thanks for the program. I didn't catch the beginning intro altogether and I'm wondering if all this was recorded and produced by Glenn Gould? It's helluva tale methinks...so far. Thanks, wilbur
Sun. 2/15/09 9:20pm
Hi Wilbur! From what I understand, Gould made these by conducting a series of interviews, and then rewriting and editing the text of the interviews and re-recording with actors and the ocean sound (in the other shows trains, and a choir) as a kind of sustained refrain. The other parts of the series are The Idea of North, and The Quiet in the Land.
Sun. 2/15/09 9:23pm
My pet antipathy is the reaction of the general public against contemporary thought in the arts in general and music in particular. The practitiononers of this attitude are characterized by a firm resolution to resist conversion. Music, for example, is reported to be without understandable melodic line, constructive purpose, and to hvae a nihilistic attitude in devoting itself to experimentation at the expense of the listening mass.
Sun. 2/15/09 9:26pm
wilbur Twinhorse:
Ok, thanks Karinne for the info. I remember a film a few years ago about Gould and the idea of the north was mentioned. I'm enjoying the story and the sound of the sea!
Sun. 2/15/09 9:26pm
Jason G:
Hey, CHOM, welcome back. Is that a Gould quote? Give us a Gould link!
Sun. 2/15/09 9:29pm
Gould does not believe links.
Sun. 2/15/09 9:34pm
1) Wilbur: Yeah, the Idea of North is the earliest and most famous of the three radio pieces, and he made a tv adaptation of it in 1970.
2) CHOM: Yeah, I guess if you obsess over solitude enough to make three hours of radio about it you're not so linky, techno-forward or not.
3) ALL: There's also an amazing documentary by Bill Brown on a trip across Canada that is like a more recent iteration of this feel, "Confederation Highway."
Sun. 2/15/09 9:40pm
I am disposed toward this view because I believe that the justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men and not its shallow, externalized public manifestations. The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but is, rather, the gradual, life long construction of a state of wonder and serenity.
[why music should be listened to in private, with the "total elimination of audience response"]
Sun. 2/15/09 9:42pm
Jason G:
Aw, Chom, you know just the way to my heart.
Sun. 2/15/09 9:44pm
wilbur Twinhorse:
"32 Short Films About Glenn Gould" by Francois Girard is the film I was thinking of Karinne. I would like to see the documentary that you mentioned, thanks again.
Sun. 2/15/09 9:47pm
Oh I remember that movie, with the amazing first piece of just him walking from (to?) very far, across the snow.
Sun. 2/15/09 9:50pm
wilbur Twinhorse:
Yes, probably a frozen body of water perhaps near his motel, or maybe Newfoundland?!
Sun. 2/15/09 9:57pm
Hi all this audio is somehow working on my Mojo (whatever that really is..)
Chom, in contrast I have felt that in the purest sense 'the justification of art' is the Art itself. This applies when it is pristine. If however, it is adulterated by the media or driven by it, it is a hollow remnant vaguely familiar.
The 'purpose' is both Yin/Yang, Art is both self justifying/self propogating as well as a purpose unto itself.
Communal sharing of Art speaks to a fundamental node in many and can evoke a sort of Synergy and Symbiosis that can feed itself to a point of where the crowd is larger thank life.
Indeed in the end Art can illicit a life long sense of wonder.
This for me but alas I must admit that I am a child of lifelong Curiosity and amazement in the many snapshots of Art that are found in the Natural World which always transports me to the Unnatural World.

Strange that you mention... I live in Colorado Springs. We are Proud to be Home of Ft Carson and The Air Force Academy. The other stuff of which you mention is no more significant thing it is an any city.
What made you feel that COS is as you described?
Sun. 2/15/09 10:08pm
it's the focus of this particular show
Sun. 2/15/09 11:54pm
Jason G:
Spuds, you should check out the show, or take it up with the Civilians (seriously, I'm sure they'd be happy to hear from you). I do understand that the New Life Church is pretty huge, though, or at least was until very recently -- but beyond that we're no experts on Colorado Springs. I go to Denver once a year to do theater but I never get to see more than 12 square blocks of it because I'm always too busy.

It's Wednesday! Halfway through this week, y'all! With 4th of July just around the corner, I thought I would share a post comparing two styles of popular sunglasses: aviators & wayfarers.
These sunglasses remind me of Top Gun. Anyone have a crush on Tom Cruise in that movie? ;) I like the way Aviators are so recognizable.
Pros: sporty styling, large lenses keep sun out
Cons: get stuck in your hair when on top of your head, tend to leave nosepiece indentations/redness, heavy
Buy these if: you want to make a statement with a flashy pair of sunglasses!
Outfit idea:
Shop Aviators (hover over each pair for the price point):
(I wear these, these, and these)
These sunglasses are the ones that go everywhere with me. They've been with me to China, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and Honduras. They are trusty and hold up very well.
Pros: classic styling, look good on virtually anyone, don't leave indentations on the face/nosepiece, lightweight
Cons: None!
Buy these if: you want a classic, everyday pair of sunglasses that go with everything!
Outfit idea:
Shop Wayfarers (hover over each pair for the price point):
Final thoughts
*I would go for Ray-Ban branded Wayfarers, because they hold up forever & I wear them almost every day.
*I would spend less & go with a different brand of Aviators, because I don't wear them as often.
*If I had to pick, I'm #TeamWayfarer ;)
I want to hear from you:
-Are you #TeamAviator or #TeamWayfarer?
Thanks for reading! XO,

Borrowing money
Do you want to borrow in order to purchase a home, a car or other expenses in your new country of residence?
Do you want to borrow for other purposes?
Are you struggling to make ends meet at the end of the month? Do you have an unexpected purchase or repair to pay? Is your child getting married, or are you taking a trip to South America? Sometimes it is helpful to have a reserve to dip into at times of need. We have three options for you.
Prudent borrowing
A loan is not to be taken lightly. Borrowing money also costs money. We would like to take this opportunity to offer some advice to keep your budget balanced.

Among the common tropes about Hollywood is that screenwriting is a Faustian bargain, in which authors compromise their talents for the consolations of a steady wage. Certainly, there's some truth to this; from the early days of the industry, writers have spun scripts for money while lamenting the demeaning nature of the work. To Tennessee Williams, who wrote for MGM in the early 1940s, screenwriting was a ridiculous exercise that made him "feel like an obstetrician required to successfully deliver a mastodon from a beaver." William Faulkner hated Hollywood so much he once reportedly fled to Mississippi after asking permission to work on a script at home. Partly, all this is a reaction to the culture of the studios, where writers like Williams and Faulkner were at once prestigious catches and proof that talent was another commodity to buy and sell. ("I have the best writer in the world–for peanuts," Jack Warner said of Faulkner, whom he was paying $300 a week.) More to the point, screenwriters seldom have control over their efforts, caught as they are between meddling executives and image-savvy stars.
"The making of a picture," Raymond Chandler noted in 1945, "is an endless contention of tawdry egos, some of them powerful, almost all of them vociferous, and almost none of them capable of anything much more creative than credit-stealing and self-promotion." Perhaps that's why so much Hollywood literature is so cynical, from Chandler's The Little Sister to Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust–although privately, West occasionally took a different point of view. "I am grateful rather than angry at the nice deep mud-lined rut in which I find myself at the moment," he wrote in 1939 to Edmund Wilson. "The world outside doesn't make it possible for me to even hope to earn a living writing, while here the pay is large (it isn't as large as people think, however) enough for me to have at least three or four months off every year."
Of all the writers who ended up in Hollywood, none would have understood this better than Daniel Fuchs. Unlike West, for whom screenwriting was, at best, a way to subsidize his fiction, Fuchs not only found work in California, he embraced it, rhapsodizing over the "phenomenon" of the movies, which he saw as "teeming with vitality and ardor, as indigenous as our cars or skyscrapers or highways, and as irrefutable." In a sense, he represents an anti-West, discovering beauty and inspiration in Hollywood even as his contemporary sought out the grotesque. Born in 1909 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Fuchs moved to Brooklyn at age 5 and published his first novel, Summer in Williamsburg, in 1934. Within three years he had completed two more novels, Homage to Blenholt and Low Company, while working as a permanent substitute teacher in New York City public schools. Although these books were re-issued in the 1960s as The Williamsburg Trilogy, they originally sold few copies, and it was only after Fuchs began to turn out short stories for Collier's and The New Yorker–"vaudeville-virtuoso mimicries and performed entertainments," he would later call them–that he drew the attention of the studios. He came to Hollywood in 1937 and remained until his death in 1993, winning an Oscar in 1955 for his story for Love Me or Leave Me. Reflecting on his legacy as a writer in a 1989 essay in Commentary, he struck a perplexed note:
A man sits in a room, writing novels. Nothing happens. They don't sell–four hundred copies apiece, the last one a few more. The reviews are scattered. Twenty-five, thirty years later they are resurrected and brought out again. I am rediscovered…. I don't know what to make of it. At bottom I know the books are not first class and I privately wonder at the acclaim.

April Fools! Major League Baseball announced yesterday the 2011 season will start on Friday, April 1. Get ready for a barrage of newspaper columns decrying the change in tradition. According to Elias, this is the first time a majority of teams start the season on a Friday since 1905.
The season's earlier start is so the playoffs end a little earlier. The season will end on a Wednesday (instead of the traditional Sunday). Ending on Sept. 28, the playoffs will start the 30th or Oct. 1; the World Series will begin Wednesday, Oct. 19. No baseball in November!
There are a bunch of quotes in this USA Today story about the change, most of them boring PR speak. But check out this insanely weird defensive quote from the head of Fox Sports!
Said Ed Goren, president of Fox Sports, which broadcasts the World Series: "I think the commissioner is sensitive to getting the postseason over in October. But I've been in cities where the weather is awful in mid-October, and beautiful the first of November. So if we're playing Game 7 of the World Series on Oct. 28, and it's snowed out, don't blame baseball."
Strange, right? "Sure, here's a quote for your article about the change: It's not going to mean anything! And one day players will be eaten by arctic wolves during a World Series game!" I am going to blame Ed Goren for everything bad that happens in the baseball playoffs this year (but mainly for McCarver and Buck, which he is actually to blame for).

Crazy MonthPosted: August 28, 2016 Filed under: Admissions, Labs/Tests, PE Cancer, Surgery 4 Comments
I just looked at my blog and saw that my last post was on August 3rd. So much has happened since then it feels like ages.
Edited: I just finished this post and it is REALLY LONG! Don't say I didn't warn you 🙂
So I had outlined a bunch of things that were going to happen that Friday, August 4th. I did most of them.
- Punch Biopsy of lump next to where my previous surgery was. My surgeon couldn't get the punch biopsier thingy to do what he wanted so he ended up doing a lumpectomy. He had just given me a local anesthetic but it didn't hurt much, just mostly tugging. I didn't know he was doing a lumpectomy until I saw the specimen jar that he passed over me to the nurse. Instead of being a small circular specimen, smaller than a pencil eraser, it looked more like a mini marshmallow. I wish I had had my camera because it was kind of cool.
- Results: another local recurrence of breast cancer. la di da.
- Chest Xray – well it turns out that I had 1.5 litres of fluid in my pleural lining. I know this because at the end of my transfusion, I wasn't able to breathe. All the blood that was infused into me combined with the fluid in my pleural lining and created a huge pressure on my chest and I couldn't breathe. (O2 sat = 80%). So I ended up getting admitted to Norris for the weekend and the next day had a thoracentesis.
- Result: Pathology report comes back with the pleural fluid malignant. My breast cancer has metasticized into malignant pleural effusion. Stage 4. SO FUN!
- Freak out a bit. Talk to my oncologist who tells me it's not a 4 month prognosis if we can keep the fluid under control. So I probably need a pleuradesis which requires a 7 day inpatient stay. (LIES! It was a 13 day inpatient stay)
- I didn't get the Eligard, Faslodex and Amacor. It was already a crazy day.
I got out of the hospital on Sunday, August 7th and on Monday the 8th, I started having the shortness of breath again. I had another chest xray on Tuesday that showed that my pleural lining had already filled up again and got signed up for ANOTHER thoracentesis that Thursday, the 11th.
Let me tell you, thorcentesis SUCKS! You are sitting up with your legs hanging over the side of an ultrasound bed with your arms and head on a pillow that is at a comfortable height on a table. So the position isn't uncomfortable. Then the radiologist does an ultrasound on your back to find the area with the biggest amount of fluid. Once they find that spot, they sharpie it. Then they inject you with lidocaine (this SUCKS and HURTS!). After you are numbed up, they stick a needle into your back, through your chest wall and into the pleural space. Then they retract the needle, which leaves a catheter and stick the free end of the catheter into a vacuumed 1 ltr bottle. Then the fluid gets sucked out of you. It takes about 5 minutes for 1.5 litre and they stop when you start coughing your lungs out. They remove the catheter then slap a big bandage on it and off you go.
That Thursday, my friend Amy (who sat with me and ordered people around all day when I was having multiple panic attacks) and I mosied on to Norris. On that day, I did this:
- Radiation
- 1 unit of platelets
- This is where I had anxiety attack number 1. I hate getting platelets and have to have tons of premeds in order to not have bad reactions. Unfortunately, I have bad reacations to the pre-meds (IV Hydrocortisone specifically)
- 1 hour of Amicar (platelet medicine)
- Eligard shot (monthly to shut down my hormones)
- Thoracentesis
- This was where I had anxiety attack number 2. Full on breakdown. Panic Attack brought on by a reaction to the hydrocortisone. I couldn't stop shaking and crying. I felt totally crazy. The radiologist said he couldn't do the procedure if I didn't calm down. So I just steadied myself and they started the procedure. Unfortunately the place they had to insert the needle was just next to where they had gone in 6 days prior. So that felt lovely. They took out 1.4 ltrs but had to stop because I started coughing and then dry heaving which kicked off anxiety attack number 3. They patched me up and then Amy commandeered a wheelchair and a transport person and we went back to the day hospital where I had to get
- 1 more hour of Amicar
- My two faslodex shots.
- These are intramuscular shots – 1 in each hip. By this time I was a freaking mess and didn't think I could do it but I sucked it up. They stung like bitches but it was all over. And afterwards, Amy and I ended up at a Red Robins in West Covina and had the best freaking hamburgers on the planet.
By Sunday, I was short of breath again. On Monday the 15th, I had another chest xray that showed I was full up of fluid again. I had an appointment with my oncologist and she said that it was advisable to try a procedure called pleurodesis. I would be inpatient for about 7 days (LIES!) and the procedure wouldn't be painful just a lot of uncomfortable pressure (MORE LIES!). The procedure wouldn't cure my pleural lining cancer but it would make it so that I wouldn't have to get my pleural lining drained ever again.
First they put in a pigtail cathether. The person scans for a good placement using a ct scanner. Once they find a good spot, they inject you with shit tons of lidocaine (PAIN!). Once you are numbed up, they make a little incision and start weaving a long needle into your pleural lining. This is the part that is only supposed to be pressured but it hurts LIKE A BITCH!!!!! Once they get the needle in, they start inserting these expander things in so that your pleural lining opens up to the size of the catheter. This sucks. I was basically screaming. Pressure my ASS! Then they run the catheter up and remove the expanders and needle. Once they do this, 90% of the pain goes away immediately. Then they slap a bandage over the tube coming out your back and hook the catheter up to a bag. When they hooked me up to a bag, they anticipated moving me up to my room, but the bag filled up so quickly, they had to drain it. (600 ml) Then the bag started filling up again and I told them to wait and they freaked because the bag started filling up again super fast. Then I had another panic attack because the fluid was leaving my body so fast that my lungs couldn't expand fast enough and I couldn't breathe. So they had to mainipulate the bag so that it would fill up and nothing would drain so that my lungs could catch up. So they spent about 10 minutes letting the bad fill up, then drain a bit, fill up, drain a bit,… until I was breathing easier. All in all, they drained 1.3 ltrs from me in the fifteen minutes post placement.
Best part of this procedure: You absolutely cannot get the bandage wet. So no showers for me for over a week. My hair was SO DISGUSTING. I was able to do sponge bath stuff but still…blech.
They gave me pain meds that night but the next morning I woke up with pleurisy pain on my left side. I was in so much pain that I was basically on dilaudid for two days. I hardly remember anything. My mom brought me a care package that had been sent to the house and when I tried to email a thank you, I couldn't remember what to type or what words were. It was so bizarre. So to explain why I didn't post much or send thank yous for the cards, care packages, etc… it was because I couldn't put two words together. I couldn't even keep a conversation. If I wasn't in so much pain it would have been sort of hilarious.
The next few days, they do a chest xray every day and monitor the fluid output. My output went to 20ml/day in a few days. So they did the pleurodesis. They shot me up with dilauded and then the thoracic surgeons shot medical grade talc into my catheter. The purpose of this is to irritate the pleural lining so much that it gets inflamed and the lungs and lining stick together, therefore removing the space where fluid could build up. It's purpose is to avoid having to have thoracentesis all the time. After they inject the talc, you have to lie on your back, then right side, then stomach, then left side, each for 1/2 hour so the talc spreads around. I didn't care because I was still out of it from the dilauded.
Starting around this day, I was so tired from the pain that I was basically in panic attack mode 24/7. They kept me hopped up on anxiety and pain meds. Oh, and I had sprung a slight fever so they went to the protocol for aplastic anemia and I was put on two IV antibiotics every 6 hours.
After a few days of no fluid drainage, they came and gave me more dilauded, and pulled the catheter out of my back. That was Wednesday and I had no draining or fluid build up (chest xrays every day) so on Saturday I got to come home.
Somewhere in there I got a platelet transfusion and a few units of blood.
So now I am resting and recovering from the hospital stay. My lower lungs still aren't totally back to normal so I get short of breath easily. My back where the catheter was still hurts. Usually after a hospital stay, I feel fantastic. This was the worst I've felt ever. Worse than the mastectomy. I still feel like crap but at least I can breathe!!!! It's going to take a while to get back to normal.
Tomorrow: Radiation (#17), Rad-Oncologist appt, possible Amicar infusion and faslodex shots.
Finally, a normal day!!!!
Fight On!

My God, Pam. When you say "fight on", you are not kidding about the fight. I think of you every day. After reading this, I am left speechless. I know you will rest better at home. It amazes me how smart you are absorbing all this medical info and being able to post it. Love to you and your Mom. Elizabeth
What Elizabeth said.
I'm in awe of you, more every day, and I love you, Trojan, sis! We are all with you in spirit every step of the way. xoxo ❤ ❤ ❤
Pam, I can totally see why you have panic attacks and anxiety. That is a lot to go through constantly. I would be the same way, but I'd have to be sedated to do half of the crap that you've had to do. I'm still thinking of you everyday and sending good thoughts, good vibes and prayers your way. 💞 Stacy

Hospitals and Health Care Providers Beware: You May Be Subject to Federal Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity Hiring Requirements and Not Even Know It!Second Quarter 2011 – Newsletters Staying Well Within the Law
Recently, the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has been notifying hospitals and other health care providers that they are "federal contractors" who are subject to OFCCP jurisdiction based on their participation in TRICARE or provision of services to TRICARE beneficiaries. The notice further advises that due to the hospital's or health care provider's "federal contractor" status, it must provide the OFCCP with an Affirmative Action Plan and supporting documentation or risk being audited and fined. Predictably, this notice has surprised many hospitals/health care providers because they never entered into a federal contract regarding TRICARE and thus never suspected they were subject to the OFCCP's jurisdiction.1
However, an entity can be deemed a "federal contractor" not only for having a direct arrangement or contract with the U.S. government, but also where it enters into a subcontract with a U.S. government contractor. Pursuant to Executive Order 11246 and related statutes, a "subcontract" is defined as:
any agreement or arrangement between a federal contractor and any person, not in an employer/employee relationship: (1) for the purchase, sale or use of personal property or nonpersonal services which, in whole or in part, is necessary to the performance of a contract, or (2) under which any portion of the federal contractor's obligation under the contract is performed, undertaken or assumed. See 41 CFR §§ 60-1.3, 60-250.2(1), 60-300.2, 60-741.2(1).
As such, a hospital or health care provider can be subject to the OFCCP's jurisdiction where it enters into a written or unwritten agreement or arrangement with a "federal contractor" to: (1) provide personal property or nonpersonal services that, in whole or part, is necessary to the performance of the federal contractor's contract with the government or (2) perform, undertake or assume any portion of the contractor's obligations of the federal contract.
Additionally, a "subcontractor relationship" can exist where an entity contracts with a covered subcontractor to provide supplies or services necessary to the performance of the prime contract or to fulfill an element of the prime contract. See OFCCP Order No. 293 ADM Notice/Jur., at 5 (Dec. 16, 2010). Either way, another link in the "subcontractor relationship" chain is created resulting in both entities being deemed "subcontractors" and thus subject to OFCCP jurisdiction. Hence, if a covered subcontractor enters into contracts with multiple companies, the OFCCP has jurisdiction over all of these "subcontractors," provided the subcontracts are related to the execution of the prime contract.
Pursuant to OFCCP policy, whether or not an agreement or other arrangement is labeled a "subcontract" by the parties is irrelevant to the OFCCP's "subcontractor relationship" analysis. Id. at 4. This is because the OFCCP has stated its regulations rather than the parties' contractual language governs this determination. Thus, a contractor's OFCCP obligations cannot be altered, limited or defeated by the inclusion in a contract or arrangement of provisions contrary to such obligations. Id.
The OFCCP has recently applied the foregoing principles to assert its jurisdiction over hospitals that participate in or provide services to federal health care programs such as TRICARE and the Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan (FEHBP).
In OFCCP v. UPMC Braddock, UPMC McKeesport, UPMC Southside, ARB Case No. 08-048 (May 29, 2009),2 the Department of Labor's Administrative Review Board (ARB) found that three hospitals were subject to OFCCP jurisdiction even though they did not have a contract or arrangement with the federal government. The ARB reached this conclusion because it found the hospitals had entered into a contract with UPMC Health Plan, an HMO, to provide medical products and services to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) employees who had Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan (FEHBP) coverage. The UPMC Health Plan, in turn, had contracted with the OPM to provide medical services and products to their employees through the FEHBP. As such, the ARB found the hospitals were subcontractors of the UPMC Plan because it was enabling the UPMC Health Plan to meet at least a portion of its contractual obligations to OPM to provide medical services to its employees. The ARB reached this conclusion even though the hospitals' contracts with the UPMC Health Plan explicitly stated they were not federal contractors or subcontractors.
Similarly, in OFCCP v. Florida Hospital of Orlando, 2009-OFC-00002 (October 18, 2010),3 a Department of Labor Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) held the hospital was a covered subcontractor, in part, because it had contracted with Humana Military Healthcare Services (Humana) to be a network provider for TRICARE beneficiaries. Humana had contracted with the U.S. Department of Defense to provide medical services to TRICARE beneficiaries. As such, the ALJ found the hospital had an agreement with Humana to assume some of its responsibility to provide health care services to TRICARE beneficiaries. Thus, it deemed the hospital a subcontractor and subject to OFCCP jurisdiction.
These cases demonstrate the OFCCP will assert jurisdiction over a hospital or health care provider as a federal contractor if it agrees to perform medical services or to provide products to federal health care programs even if it did not enter into an arrangement or contract directly with the federal government and even where it attempts to avoid OFCCP jurisdiction through explicit contract language.
However, not all contracts with a federal health care program will trigger the OFCCP's jurisdiction. In fact, there are a number of circumstances in which a hospital or health care entity will not be deemed a federal contractor or subcontractor even though it is involved with a federal health care program, including but not limited to where:
- It does not have a contract or subcontracts with the federal government in an aggregate value greater than $10,000 per year or a single contract worth at least $100,000 per year (or at least $25,000 per year if the contract was entered into before December 1, 2003);4
- It is merely receiving reimbursements from Medicare Parts A and/or B (or Medicaid) as Medicare is considered financial assistance which does not form a contractual relationship;5
- It is the recipient of a grant from a federal health care program as grants do not create a contractual relationship;5 and/or
- The underlying contract between the federal government and prime contractor only involves insurance reimbursements as opposed to the provision of medical services or products. See OFCCP v. Bridgeport Hospital, ARB Case No. 00-234 (January 31, 2003).
The foregoing is not an exhaustive list of arguments that can be asserted to contest one's alleged contractor, subcontractor status and/or the OFCCP's jurisdiction. Accordingly, hospitals should carefully and expeditiously review their connections to any federal health care programs before and/or upon receiving the notice. If this review shows a "federal contractor" or "subcontractor" relationship exists, the hospital should immediately contact counsel and determine whether it has to develop a written affirmative action plan and/or comply with the numerous other discrimination-related notice, posting and recording requirements that are enforced by the OFCCP.
As a result of the OFCCP's aggressive enforcement initiative towards the health care industry, all hospitals and health care providers should immediately take proactive steps to ensure they are in compliance with any applicable affirmative action obligations before receiving the dreaded notice. Failing to do so could result in a hospital being caught "flat footed" and unnecessarily incurring monetary penalties and/or having to engage in costly and time consuming litigation with the OFCCP.

- The OFCCP is the governmental agency responsible for enforcing the federal affirmative action and equal opportunity employment obligations mandated by: (1) Executive Order 11246, (2) Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and (3) the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974. See Exec. Order No. 11,246, 3 F.F.R.330 (1964-1965), reprinted in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e app. at 28-31 (1982); The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Pub. L.

- The hospital has appealed this ALJ decision to the ARB, ARB Case No. 11-011.
- The OFCCP has jurisdiction over an employer under (1) Executive Order 11246 where there is a contract or subcontract with the federal government in an aggregate value greater than $10,000 per year, (2) Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act where there is a single contract worth $10,000 or more and (3) under VEVRAA where there is a single contract of at least $100,000.
- Note, the OFCCP has indicated that contracts related to Medicare Advantage Part C or D could trigger jurisdiction.

Leahy Center and Rural Entrepreneur Programs Touted as One of Four Successful Models for the Nation
April 10, 2012
Two innovative programs at Lyndon State College will be highlighted at the Second National Summit on the Role of Education in Economic Development in Rural America on April 17, in Arlington, Virginia. LSC's Leahy Center for Rural Students and Center for Rural Entrepreneurship (CRE) will be presented at the day-long summit as "Successful Models of Partnerships."
The Summit will bring together a broad base of influential leaders and policymakers in education and economic development including U.S. agency officials, state agency officials, state legislators, as well as representatives from national and state organizations, colleges and universities, and corporations. It aims to improve rural economic development by identifying successful models of partnership between education and economic leaders, identifying policy and legislative barriers at the federal, state and local levels and strategies to overcome them, and recommending federal, state, and local policies that improve opportunities for partnerships.
"This is a rare opportunity to share our work with federal and state officials, especially before they act on creating or reauthorizing policies. We are honored to be asked to present," said Bob Whittaker, LSC's Dean of Institutional Advancement.
Feature speakers include White House Senior Policy Advisor for Rural Affairs Doug McKalip who will speak about the President's vision in creating the White House Rural Council in June, 2011. U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan and U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will speak about the federal recommendations generated at the first Rural Summit, rural initiatives and goals, and the reasons behind the creation of the new White House Rural Council.
Presenters from Lyndon will include Bob Whittaker, Dean of Academic and Student Affairs Donna Dalton, Director of the Leahy Center for Rural Students Heather Bouchey, and Director of the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship Ann Nygard.
Lyndon State established the Patrick and Marcelle Leahy Center for Rural Students in 2009. The Center conducts research to better understand why rural students do or do not persist through and beyond high school, and implements programs to raise the aspirations and completion rates of rural students—particularly first-in-family, modest income students. Initial findings of the Leahy Center are unique and compelling and will be a focus of the April 17 presentation. One key finding is that an obstacle to raising aspirations of students and their parents is the perception that there are no jobs in the region that demand higher education. This discovery led to the founding of the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship in 2011.
The CRE was established to help keep and create jobs in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom through the college's Incubator Without Walls (IWoW) and the NEK Manufacturing Training Program (NEKMTP). Since its inception in 2007, IWoW has served 70 businesses and involved 161 students in hands-on learning experiences that have helped keep or create 78 jobs. Initiated in 2011, the NEKMTP has delivered three customized trainings in response to the needs of the region's manufacturers. These employers, who collectively employ 14 percent of the region's workforce, have expressed that they have an ongoing challenge finding skilled workers.
Too often, Vermont's Northeast Kingdom is defined by disproportionately high rates of unemployment and poverty, and low educational attainment. The Leahy Center and CRE are designed increase coordination between educators, employers, and economic development organizations. Together these partners create data-driven solutions to educate more students and help create more jobs. The programs are funded through a combination of federal and foundation grants, private gifts, corporate sponsorships, and in-kind support from LSC and project partners.

Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh has appointed 5 Nigerians and a Sierra Leonean to the Supreme Court to hear his election petition, judicial sources say.
The names of the new Justices of the Supreme Court were confirmed to SMBC by State House officials who wish to remain anonymous.
The Nigerian Justices are: Justices Habeeb A.O Abiru, Abubakar Datti Yahaya, Abubakar Tijani, Obande Festus and Akomaye Angim; and from Sierra Leone is: Justice Nicholas Colin Brown.
The Justices were appointed based on recommendations from the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mariam Aloma Mukhtar to Gambia's Nigerian-born Chief Justice Emmanuel Fagbenle, according to a judicial service officer.
The judges are expected to hear President Yahya Jammeh's petition and make a ruling before the swearing in of the President-elect Adama Barrow.
Jammeh first accepted defeat but made a political fumble that led to a standoff between him and the internationally recognized, and locally backed opposition.
The Gambia's bar association is demanding that Chief Justice Emmanuel Fagbenle resigns due to misconduct and abuse of office and said the hearing of Jammeh's petition is unconstitutional and against natural justice.

Prior to founding of the Truss Plate Institute in 1960, plate manufacturers had to work with Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the many various local code jurisdictions in having their products and designs recognized. From 1950 through 1959, a plethora of truss design methodologies and testing procedures existed for plate connectors, nailed plywood or nail-glued plywood, bolts, split rings, and so on. Generally, joint design criteria relied either on wood-to-steel-to-wood or wood-to-wood bearing for transmitting stresses. Additionally, numerous plate manufacturers' proprietary design methodologies were the norm. The confusion this created with model codes, local code jurisdictions and FHA raised persistent questions regarding structural adequacy.
The founding fathers of TPI recognized that an industry-wide truss design standard was critical for the organized growth of the fledgling industry. Previously, FHA required testing each type of variation of trussed rafters designed by plate manufacturer proponents in order to provide a consistent basis for determining structural acceptance. The resulting costs incurred by the plate manufacturers and the phenomenal workload thrust on the FHA insuring offices quickly prompted the development of standard engineering and fabrication procedures as an alternative to testing in order to assure that unit stresses of lumber and connectors were not exceeded.
Recommended allowable strength design criteria were first formulated prior to the formation of TPI based on work of an interim committee in 1959. These design criteria were published the following year with the designation TPI-60 "Design Specification for Light Metal Plate Connected Timber Trusses." Since that time, the Technical Advisory Committee has continued to study and evaluate new data and development in the metal plate connected wood truss industry. Subsequent editions have followed over the years as listed in the TPI Store and Archives.

Special designed process chambers transfer the heat with a minimum of stress for the components. Even with lead free applications temperatures stay below the critical component temperatures. This model is equipped with an additional edge conveyor.The process chambers allow exact control of each cell and guarantee a uniform airflow across the board. Due to the construction of the heating cell, maximum stability under varying loads is ensured. The rapid response heaters give uniform heating and consistent results. All heating zones, top and bottom, are separately controlled by a built in microprocessor controller with graphic display allowing you to plot temperature profiles on screen. The optional windows based PC software, informs you of the status of all controls. The cooling cell is placed at the right side of the process chamber, A built- in Ionising unit protects the PCB for static charges. The Solano is a freestanding unit.Boards are transported through the oven on a high-grade stainless steel mesh belt or on the integrated edge conveyor meeting the mechanical SMEMA specification.A build in filtration system takes flux rests out of the exhaust air preventing the oven from getting dirty at the inside.The process chamber is divided into 4 sections both at the top and bottom. At the top two preheat, one soak and one reflow zone is heated and on the bottom only the soldering zone is heated. All chambers are heated by circulating hot air. Temperature differences between two sections can be varied by up to 140 degree Celsius. The unique cell design reduces temperature differences across the PCB drastically.A LCD control panel with integrated display unit offers complete access to profiling information displaying up to 99 zone profiles, together with full machine operation function keys.Optional Windows based software allows the operator to connect a personal computer to the oven making it possible to store additional programs, and profiles, enabling the operator to analyse process information making comparisons between profiles and ultimately producing the printed documentation for quality assurance. Real time temperature profiling on the PC. Several different windows showing profiles can be opened at the same time for comparison.Price performance is always the main criteria when designing products at DIMA.

America last night voted for change. A number of key national and local elections slid from the grip of the Republican party and into the hands of the Democrats, a trend not lost on local politicos.
The color of choice tonight is blue, said Chenango Democratic Committee Chairman Catherine Ulfik at the partys Broad Street headquarters.
Many local Republicans attributed the Democrats advantage to national issues plaguing the party, such as the deteriorating situation in Iraq. I think were seeing a tsunami effect of democratic voters coming out. Its been an uphill battle. A lot of our politics are local; not everything is tied to Washington, said Assemblyman Cliff Crouch, who reclaimed his GOP seat last night.
Thomas Morrone, Republican Committee Chair for Chenango County, congratulated a number of local Republican victors and expressed disappointment over the congressional race between Michael Arcuri and Raymond Meier. Arcuri and Meier had a great run. I just hope Arcuri will be able to deliver like our Sherwood Boehlert, said Morrone.

Tupac Shakur could have been in "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace," according to a new interview with Death Row Records' former Chief Engineer Rick Clifford.
Clifford, who worked with Tupac before his death in 1996, spoke to 2Pac-Forum.com last week about his experiences with the late rapper, and revealed that Tupac was being considered for a role in the 1999 "Star Wars" film.
"It's sad because 'Pac found out that I worked for Brian Austin Green, who was on '90210,' then he found out I was in some movies. So we always talked about his film career and stuff," Clifford said in the interview. "He was telling me that he was supposed to read for George Lucas and them."
Shakur died at the age of 25, three years before the release of "The Phantom Menace." As to what role Tupac would have played in the film, Clifford explained, "They wanted him to be a Jedi. Yes, I'm serious. Samuel L. [Jackson] got Tupac's part."
In the "Star Wars" prequel Jackson played Mace Windu, a Jedi Master on the High Council.
While Lucas has yet to comment on Clifford's report, it isn't out of the question that Tupac could have been considered for the part. He held various film roles in the early '90s, appearing in "Poetic Justice" and "Above the Rim."
Take a listen to Clifford's words on Tupac above.

One of the main drivers behind our work at Dog Fence DIY is to protect dogs from ending up on the streets. When we select wireless and electric dog fencing solutions we do it keeping in mind that dogs that end up homeless suffer tremendously. Lucky dogs are eventually found by their owners or housed and re-homed at no kill shelters. Those with lesser fortune could end up dead.
Our selection for volunteer of the year was based on this very principle. We want every dog that escapes to have a chance to get back home or find a loving home.
We hope your Amazon card helps you purchase additional equipment. We are proud of what you do.

DTC foes launch StopDrugAds.com
Commercial Alert, the anti-advertising watchdog group that signed up 211 medical professors against DTC advertising in October, is extending its anti-DTC campaign with a Web site. Stopdrugads.org asks visitors to write the FDA via an editable form letter asking the agency to "Please stop prescription drug ads before they create another Vioxx catastrophe." Gary Ruskin, executive director of the group, said the site will be promoted virally and to the group's 8,000-name listserve. "The FDA is asking for comment on DTC, and we want to make sure that thousands tell them to shut it down," said Ruskin.

TORNADO WATCH until 7 p.m.
CLICK HERE for live weather updates.
RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) – A Tornado Watch is in effect until 7 p.m. for all of central Virginia. We have the threat for severe thunderstorms developing mid-day through the early evening ahead of a potent cold front approaching from the west.
Any of these storms could rotate as a result of wind shear in the atmosphere. When storms rotate, they can produce damaging wind gusts and downbursts with winds exceeding 60 mph, or isolated tornadoes.
A Tornado Watch means that these conditions described above are present in most of the Commonwealth today, and that means severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes could form.
The Storm Prediction Center upgraded the risk across the eastern U.S. to a rare, large areal "Moderate" risk for severe storms as of mid-day.
I am providing periodic web updates LIVE here–> https://wtvr.com/on-air/live-streaming/
Stay with CBS6, we'll keep you ahead of the storm.

Yeah so I spent the last few days moving from almost halfway across the country so I've got some settling down to do. I just got internet access again so that's good.
I haven't seen the latest episode yet either so it might be a few days until I start making a vector or few. I'm hearing that there was a song so if I like it enough to make a remix and if I'm feeling up to it then I might do that as well.
I'm going to be getting a job soon to so I'll have less free time later but I did sometimes think that I had too much free time before anyways.

Solving Formulas
Lesson 9 of 10
Objective: SWBAT solve a formula for one of the variables
Big Idea: This lesson extends the concept of solving a linear equation in one variable to solving a formula for a particular variable.
This lesson is about extending the concept of solving equations in one variable to solving a formula for any one particular variable. My experience is that many students have problems solving formulas despite being able to solve equations. Some of the techniques students use to solve equations cannot be used to rewrite formulas. Tables, for example, don't help in finding solutions, and graphs aren't always possible. Therefore, I make sure I expose my students to many different types of formulas. We also review the properties of equality, to help students make the necessary associations.
To launch this lesson, I project the Launch Questions for Solving Formulas. I give students a couple of minutes for each question. I have chosen the questions based on the experiences I've had with student errors in prior years of teaching students to work with formulas:
Question 1: Many times students, especially ELL students, confuse what it means when an equation or formula is solved for a specific variable. As we discuss this question I make sure that students are aware that the isolated variable can be on either side of the equation.
Questions 2-5: A quick review of the equality properties is a very good way to begin the lesson. Students should observe that the multiplication property of equality was used incorrectly. Also, there is an incorrect use of the addition property of equality: "3" had to be subtracted from both sides first.
Analysis of common errors helps students to avoid making them when solving formulas. To end the Launch section, I ask students to answer each question and write the correct process on the board.
Resources (1)
New Info/Application
The New Info section today is conducted as guided practice using the Application Solving Formulas.doc worksheet. I use the classic Fahrenheit/Celsius conversion in the first guided example to motivate the idea of equivalent formulas. What I want students to understand is that when we have equivalent formulas, the pairs of numbers (input-output) that work for one formula must also work for the other.
I inform students that some people call the Celsius scale Centrigrade, because of its 100 degree interval. I like to tell students that very few countries in the world use the Fahrenheit scale. I remind students that the freezing and boiling points of water are 0 and 100 Celsius, and 32 and 212 Fahrenheit respectively.
- When checking Example 1, students should see that F = 212 and C = 100 satisfy both equations, and realize that any pair of numbers will always work for both.
- For Example 2, I allow students to use any resource to check back for the properties of equality and determine which one was used at each step.
Formulas used in the Practice Problems
- The distance-rate-time formula is appropriate because the rate unit is miles per hour, found by dividing distance by time. Usually, the formula is given as d = rt.
- The sum of the measures of the angles of a convex n-gon
- F = force, m is mass, and a is acceleration
- Formula for the area of a trapezoid
When my students get to Question 5, they often make a mistake that they don't make with Question 1. The mistake is when solving for p in B = h/p, the student may multiply both sides of the equation by h instead of by p. If this happens, the student has obviously memorized a pattern without comprehension. I "go back to the drawing board" with these students, giving them fractions to multiply by whole numbers and help them see when and why denominators cancel.
Resources (1)
To close today's lesson I re-organize the class choosing different pairs of students to work together. I ask each student to take out a blank sheet of paper and write an equation containing at least two variables and identify the variable for which they should solve. On the back of the paper, I ask students to solve their equations for that variable.
After they solve it, I ask that they exchange papers with their partners and solve their partner's equation. (I walk around and make sure that the students are following directions) When everyone is done, students should then turn their papers over and compare their work to their partner's work. Their solutions should match and if they don't, they should discuss why not and find a solution that both agree with.

Living in a coal state is no guarantee against soaring electricity costs, as many Kentuckians struggling to pay heating bills have learned this bitter winter.
In response, we're seeing mostly nonsense from Frankfort: The Senate has fingered the Public Service Commission and says elected commissioners would keep us warmer for less.
Lawmakers in both chambers have talked of casting off the oppressive yoke of clean water and air laws. And for the fourth straight year, the legislature is doing nothing to assure a stable, affordable, cleaner power supply for the future.
Kentucky has fallen behind 36 states and the District of Columbia, which have set deadlines or goals for diversifying their power bases by expanding renewable energy and improving efficiency.
Ohio set a deadline of 2025 for deriving 25 percent of its retail electricity from renewable sources, non-renewable alternative sources or efficiency gains. As a result, Buckeyes are already reaping new jobs in manufacturing solar technology — 1,500 of them, according to the Ohio Department of Development.
Reaping the same kinds of security and benefits for Kentucky was a centerpiece of Gov. Steve Beshear's "7-Point Strategy for Energy Independence," unveiled with some ado in late 2008.
Beshear's plan called for enacting what's known as renewable energy and efficiency portfolio standards for utilities. But more recently, the governor seems to have lost interest in enlightened energy policy in favor of pandering to the coal industry and deriding the Environmental Protection Agency.
Awaiting action in this session is a bill sponsored by three Louisville Democrats that would put Kentucky on the renewable energy map.
If lawmakers wanted to dispel the doofus image they're cultivating for themselves this session, they would see to it that House Bill 239, sponsored by Reps. Mary Lou Marzian, Joni Jenkins and Jim Wayne, fares better than similar measures have in recent sessions. But the bill has been languishing since Feb. 2 in the Tourism, Development and Energy Committee.
HB 239 requires that 12.5 percent of retail electricity in Kentucky come from renewable sources such as solar, wind and biomass by 2021. It also requires utilities to achieve electricity savings from conservation and efficiency of 10.25 percent by 2021.
Utilities would have to be granted rate adjustments to pay for the cost of starting demand management and other efficiency programs. The bill also authorizes incentives, such as on-bill financing, to help consumers make energy improvements in their homes or businesses. In the end, everyone would save by avoiding the much higher costs of building new power plants.
Electricity is still very cheap here, compared with most of the rest of the country. That's one reason we waste so much of it.
Another factor in our high consumption is substandard housing, especially in depressed Eastern Kentucky, where a higher proportion of homes are heated with electricity.
Kentucky offers tons of low-hanging fruit in terms of capturing energy through efficiency — if only we had elected leaders smart enough to pluck it.
