Picture: View to the north east over arboretum. Puzzles of the hill. by simon3 3 Nov 2014 The first puzzle of this hill is "Where is the top". Given the current covering in Sitka Spruce with razor wire briers I can't see any onsite determination of this at present and I am not so sure even modern technology like photogrammetry or lidar would do any better. So I think that considering the top to be beside the communications tower is unlikely to be disputable until the trees are mature or cut.A second puzzle are some of the trees nearby such as the one shown in the picture here. This and another are Chilean Pines, usually better known as Monkey Puzzles.In fact Westaston Hill is the high end of an arboretum originally started by a line of Cromwellian settlers called Acton. This is now operated as Kilmacurragh Botanic Gardens by the OPW. Here's what they have to say about the monkey-puzzles on Westaston Hill:"Tom Acton had a rule of thumb to plant three of every important tree or shrub. One was planted where visiting plantsmen told him it would thrive, another where he thought it would survive, and the last where it would unquestionably not survive. Examples of the latter may be seen on the brow of Westaston Hill that overlooks the house and estate. To this day, a line of exotics, like Himalayan rhododendrons, mighty North American conifers and Chilean trees, all planted by Tom Acton's gardeners, still grow on this wind swept site. Most are in ragged order and battered because of their exposed positions – except for two fine monkey puzzles. This tree inhabits the high Andes of Chile where it is exposed to the same raging winds. In this case, a tree planted in a situation where he was told it would positively not grow, did survive, indeed it thrived."Take a look if you visit Westaston, these trees are magnificent.More at http://www.botanicgardens.ie/kilmac/kilmhist.htm Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1190/comment/17739/ Your Score: Very useful << >>Average Picture from eamonoc : Mastaston?

I'm judging this from aerial photography and DTM which shows a rocky outcrop in a small forest clearing. DTM gives a reading of about 270.5m on this outcrop with a figure of c.268m near mast. Could be some distortion in heights due to tree cover.

As an agency of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the primary purpose of the Kentucky Board of Auctioneers is to protect the public. Only if the auctioneering profession is represented by knowledgeable and ethical individuals will the reputation and the growth of the auctioneering business be enhanced. Thus this Board is charged with the duty to protect the consumer and the profession by an unbiased review of allegations against licensed auctioneers or licensed auction house operators.
The formal complaint process is not a quick process or a quick fix. The complainant (consumer) completes the complaint form and sends it to the Board. The respondent (licensee) has 20 working days, following notification from the Board, to respond to a complaint. The case is assigned to a Compliance Officer. The Board reviews the complaint during a quarterly meeting. The facts in a complaint against a licensee must constitute prima facie evidence. This means that evidence is sufficient to establish an allegation as reasonably probable or a strong appearance of a wrongful act. Then, if so ordered, the case is set for hearing at a future board meeting, or continued for further investigation and/or documentation, or dismissed. The link to the Complaint Form is below.

KRS 330.110, 201 KAR 3:005, 201 KAR 3:035, and 201 KAR 3:045 list the possible violations or grounds for disciplinary actions as a result of a complaint being filed with the Kentucky Board of Auctioneers.
KRS 330.115 explains how a formal complaint by the consumer (complainant) and the response by the licensee (respondent) is initiated. Contact the Board (270-360-0736) for the complaint form or you may download, print out and complete the Complaint Form Update Link.
KRS 330.120 and KRS 330.130 explain the process following the receipt of a formal complaint and response.
KRS 330.120 and KRS 330.192(2)(3)(4)(5) explain the possible claims process for monetary damage. A proof of loss form must be filed with the Kentucky Board of Auctioneers within 12 months of the alleged date of misdeed. KRS 330.192(5) states 'This section is not intended to substitute for, circumvent, or duplicate other remedies existing at law ... but constitutes a last resort for aggrieved persons who would not, but for the provisions of this section, be able to recover their losses by any other means available'.

Re: Nancy Abernathy, born 6/14/1828 Ohio
Melissa Creech 3/22/05
You wrote: I think we may be dealing with different people
I don't think you are, Melissa.I have _tentatively_ identified the James Abernathy on the 1830 Champaigne County OH census as married to Elizabeth Igou, apparently a daughter of Elizabeth and Lewis Igou. They can be found in the Ancestral Files on www.familysearch.org but I caution you that the site includes little concrete source references and does not include Nancy in the family group, as clearly is the case. Still, perhaps the few clues that are available from that site would assist you.
As for James, I cannot yet even conjecture as to whose his parents might have been. But I agree with Mike that it's highly likely that he's descended from either William or Samuel, probable brothers in the Revolution, although via which son is yet to be determined.
Unlike Mike, this is _not_ my Abernathy lineage, so I'm less sure of facts here than I might wish to be. In fact, I defer to Mike for the really thorny questions on this line.
Good luck.

2018-03-26 10:58:50 - General
The Damani Phillips Quartet will present a program of original compositions and atypical songs from the jazz tradition at Coe College in an upcoming concert. An acclaimed saxophonist, Phillips will be joined by Coe Assistant Professor of Music Steve Shanley on piano, Steve Carlson on bass and Fabio Augustinas on percussion. The performance – which was postponed over the weekend due to inclement weather – has been rescheduled for Saturday, March 31, beginning at 2 p.m. in Daehler-Kitchin Auditorium of Marquis Hall. It is open to the public at no charge.
Phillips serves as associate professor of jazz studies and African American studies at the University of Iowa, where he teaches applied jazz saxophone, directs jazz combos and teaches courses in African American music, African American Culture, jazz education and improvisation. An active performer, pedagogue and composer, Phillips has taught and performed throughout the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia. He is actively sought as a guest artist, clinician, lecturer, panelist and adjudicator throughout the country.
As a recording artist, Phillips released his debut CD "Yaktown Nights" in 2003, "The String Theory" in November of 2010 and "The Reckoning" in 2012. His latest recording project "Duality" (2015) is a double album featuring a unique synergy between straight-ahead jazz and hip hop music. As a performer, Phillips has shared the stage with artists/groups such as Lewis Nash, Christian McBride, Terrence Blanchard, Wycliffe Gordon, Bobby McFerrin, Marcus Belgrave, Terrell Stafford, Maceo Parker, Pat Bianchi, Ira Sullivan, The Temptations, Red Holloway, Greg Gisbert and many others.
An active academic scholar, Philllips has given numerous research presentations at colleges, universities and scholarly forums both domestically and abroad. His research focuses specifically on addressing cultural concerns in the pedagogy of Black music within academia. Phillips recently published his first book entitled "What is This Thing Called Soul: Conversations on Jazz and Black Culture," which delves into the difficult topic of the decline of Black cultural influence/representation in jazz music as traditionally taught in academic spheres.
Phillips earned Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees from DePaul University and The University of Kentucky in classical saxophone, as well as a second Master of Music degree in Jazz Studies from Wayne State University. He completed the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Jazz Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2009, becoming one of the first African Americans in the country to do so.

PLANT: The Source of Original Ideas
Creative, Imaginative, Free-thinking.
Generates ideas. Solves difficult problems.
Is this one of your Team Roles?
The Team Roles:
Dr Meredith Belbin's research work at Henley Management School identified nine Team Roles that are needed to contribute to high performance in any team.
Meredith Belbin defined a Team Role as:
'A tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a particular way'.
Creative, imaginative, free-thinking.Generates ideas and solves difficult problems.
May ignore incidentals.
Can be too preoccupied with own thoughts to communicate effectively.
Outgoing, enthusiastic, communicative. Explores opportunities and develops contacts.
Can lose interest once initial enthusiasm has passed.
Mature and confident.
Identifies talent and clarifies goals.
Delegates effectively.
Can be seen as manipulative.
May offload own share of the work.
Challenging, dynamic, thrives on pressure. Has the drive and energy to overcome obstacles.
Prone to provocation.
Can offend people's feelings.
Serious minded, strategic and discerning. Sees all options and judges accurately.
Can lack drive and ability to inspire others.
Can be overly critical.
Co-operative, perceptive and diplomatic. Listens, builds morale and averts friction.
Can be indecisive in crunch situations.
May avoid confrontation.
Disciplined, reliable, conservative in habits. A capacity for taking practical steps and actions.
Conscientious and accurate. Searches out errors.
Polishes and perfects.
Inclined to worry unduly.
Reluctant to delegate.
Single-minded, self-starting, dedicated. Provides in-depth knowledge and skills in short supply.
May contribute only on a narrow front.
Dwells on technicalities.
When we work in a team each of us will make our most effective contribution when we focus on just two or three of these roles. And an effective team will have a membership that covers all nine roles.

I am an Adams descendant from Jones County. I have traced an ancestor back to 1779 in a Jones County Tax List. This is as far back as it goes in Jones County. I must now look to other counties, but thusfar have been unsuccessful. Have you seen any information about a Micajah Adams in any of your research? Micajah's children were James, John, William, Owen, Moses, Micajah Jr. and Mary who married Braddock Jarman. Recognize any of these?

"These events provide CEOs the opportunity to hear different viewpoints, deliberate real time challenges, and identify progressive business models that have helped enterprises grow to Fortune 1000 status and beyond." - Wayne Wald, Akerman Senterfitt
(PRWEB) October 07, 2013
The Board of Veteran CEOs, a leading organization for information exchanges, partnerships and networking among CEOs of midsize to large companies, today announced a Breakfast Forum featuring private equity pioneer Henry Kravis, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, a leading global investment firm. Former CEOs of Fortune 1000s and sitting CEOs will gather at this exclusive event to hear Mr. Kravis discuss the business challenges of today's global economy. Richard Goeglein, Chairman of Pinnacle Entertainment and former CEO of Harrah's Hotel & Casinos, will moderate the discussion.
The event, hosted by Akerman Senterfitt, a leading national law firm, will be held on November 5, 2013 from 8:00 to 10:00 am at the Yale Club of New York City. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
"Henry Kravis has helped KKR remain steadfast through more than three decades of global economic cycles and changes," said Ted Santos, Chairman of The Board of Veteran CEOs. "His experiences and competencies will provide an invaluable learning opportunity for all attending CEOs. We are delighted that Richard Goeglein will lead the interview. Having led high-growth billion dollar companies through multiple mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, he brings a valuable perspective to the conversation."
"We are pleased to join Ted and The Board of Veteran CEOs in hosting yet another Breakfast Forum," said Wayne Wald, the Corporate Practice Group leader in Akerman's New York office. "These events provide CEOs the opportunity to hear different viewpoints, deliberate real time challenges, and identify progressive business models that have helped enterprises grow to Fortune 1000 status and beyond."
The Board of Veteran CEOs Breakfast Forum has become a prestigious event for former and sitting CEOs to exchange insights and network with some of the world's leading decision makers. During a Breakfast Forum earlier this year, Duncan Niederauer, CEO of the New York Stock Exchange Euronext, addressed a close-knit group of CEOs and Congressional representatives on mergers and acquisitions and post integration of a global enterprise.
The Breakfast Forums are a part of a larger series of events that take place throughout the year. Every other month, The Board of Veteran CEOs holds CEO roundtable discussions for its members on timely, trending topics, such as global expansion, post M&A integration, CEO transformation, and many others. The Board of Veteran CEOs provides middle market CEOs access to former CEOs who have more than 40 years of management experience; some of whom have led companies like Dun & Bradstreet, Ben & Jerry's, Xerox, and Harrah's Hotel and Casinos, as well as Fortune 500 corporations like NCR and AC Nielson. In a recent roundtable, former CEO and current Chairman of Dunkin' Donuts sat with an intimate group of business leaders, sharing stories and offering an objective perspective on real time issues.
"I developed The Board of Veteran CEOs after years of working with corporations across the nation and advising CEOs and their direct reports. Those relationships later required me to build their boards of directors," said Mr. Santos. "As my relationships deepened with CEOs, I realized first that it's lonely at the top. There are many sensitive issues CEOs often face, except, they have few places to turn that allow them to vet their thoughts. Second, most mid-cap businesses have many of the same challenges Fortune 500s frequently face. However, the mid-tiers do not have access to the same resources. The commitment of the Board of Veteran CEOs is to eliminate the feeling of loneliness and bridge the resource gap with retired CEOs who have walked in their shoes and are able to provide a unique and objective perspective. In addition, by creating or increasing peer-to-peer contact with leaders who exemplify CEO success and corporate excellence, it increases success for our members."
Former CEOs of Fortune 1000s or sitting CEOs of midsize to large companies who wish to attend the upcoming Breakfast Forum on November 5 may contact Ted Santos at 888.471.3660 or tsantos(at)turnaroundip(dot)com. All registrations are subject to approval by the Board of Veteran CEOs.

Each time you go to the doctor, they measure your blood sugar level. This is to make sure that you are not developing gestational diabetes, a condition that affects one to two percent of women during pregnancy. When blood sugar levels are controlled through a pregnancy diet, women can have normal, healthy babies. Pregnancy is usually a fragile time in a woman's life.
Some women experience low back pain for which they can get a pregnancy massage in addition to physical therapy after consulting your doctor. A pregnancy calendar will help to keep a record of all the stages of pregnancy.
As you fill in the various stages of your pregnancy in your pregnancy calendar, you will notice a few other signs that may trouble you. Stretch marks may appear although they may fade in time. There will be weight gain, but if you eat a sensible pregnancy diet and stay fit, you should be able to lose your pregnancy weight after the baby's birth.
A pregnancy massage will help alleviate pain in the lower back. Staying healthy is the key to maintaining a fit body.
Around this time, your baby's ears pop from his head and he can now sense sounds. He's accustomed to the strong beating of your heart and your stomach grumbling.
Your pregnancy calendar will give you the details of the gradual development of your baby. Now that you are pregnant, you are probably wondering how you and your baby can remain strong and healthy. You should follow a good pregnancy diet that ensures proper nutrients and it is also important to get proper prenatal testing. If you have aches and pains, a pregnancy massage will give you relief.
Your pregnancy calendar brings you through the early stages to the 17th week of pregnancy. Your growing uterus may leave you feeling bloated and constipated. You may feel a few bumps and flutters indicating that your baby is healthy and active. A sensible pregnancy diet with lots of water may help improve your skin's elasticity.
In addition to this, a pregnancy massage will also help relieve back pains. As your pregnancy progresses, your body experiences changes, and you can enjoy each stage of your pregnancy.

Student Health Insurance
All eligible students of EKU may utilize Student Health Services, which is supported by a portion of the tuition costs. While we strive to meet the majority of general health care needs of our students, our services are limited. For a full list of the services we provide, please visit our web site at http://www.healthservices.eku.edu/ .
How to Evaluate Health Insurance Companies is information found at http://www.healthinsuranceindepth.com. I think you will find the information in this document helpful as you make decisions regarding purchase of a student health insurance plan. There are numerous internet web sites that offer student health insurance plans.
College students, particularly those over 26, may not be covered by their parents' insurance policy once they leave home. Happily, the cost of student health insurance is very reasonable. A college student away from home and without health insurance can easily spend more money on health care for a bout of influenza or other illness, or for a broken leg than the annual cost of a student health insurance policy itself.
How to Evaluate Health Insurance Companies
Finding a health policy that meets your cost and coverage needs is a difficult task. But the work doesn't stop there. To ensure the best care, it's wise to evaluate both the company and its affiliate health care network.
There are at least three distinct areas that you'll want to investigate when researching health insurance companies:
- the insurer's financial rating
- the quality of health care it provides
- its overall customer-satisfaction rating
Lets take a quick look at each of them, one by one:
A company's financial ratings
One crucial measure of any health insurance company is its financial reputation. This is easy to research using free resources like Moody's, A.M. Best and Weiss, all of which publish health insurance company ratings and information. You can obtain health insurance company ratings up front, before you apply, by going to www.eHealthInsurance.com, a large on line health insurance marketplace.
+ Quality of care under a particular policy
What could be more important? Under an indemnity insurance plan, you select your doctor, so if you are not satisfied with the quality of health care you are receiving, it is easy to switch physicians. Under a managed care health policy, however, the network of doctors you'll be working with is pre-selected. Trusting the physicians and feeling confident about the care you're receiving is invaluable.
Check the employment and educational histories of the network's doctors.
The American Medical Association provides information about any physician. The Directory of Medical Specialists, which can be found at your local library, lists information about doctors too. Use these free resources to your advantage. (Keep reading to learn about other sources of info.)
Customer satisfaction
How quickly health insurance companies respond to patients' requests and questions is important.
You'll be in contact with your insurer often enough, so good communication can make a huge difference.
Although this is a hard area to gauge before you actually purchase a policy, you can still get a sense by calling the health insurance company's customer service representative with a question.
Does it take them long to answer your question? Are you put on hold? If you request information to be sent to you, how long does it take?
You can also try to "test" commitment to satisfaction. Ask a health insurance company representative if you can switch primary care physicians mid policy year? If not, they may be inflexible about other personal concerns and indifferent about your health care needs.
Unfortunately, while financial information about a health insurance company is fairly easy to come by, specific measures of patient satisfaction with a particular health policy are not. You'll probably have to pay for this information.
Consumer Check or Consumer Reports both offer heath insurance company and health policy evaluations for a fee. We recommend applying for a couple of health plans, seeing what fits your budget (and your care needs), then checking them against each other using a paid service.
You can also do your own research into which companies and plans are better for you, by using the questions we provide in our guide to the various types of health plans. This will take some work, but it will help you learn first-hand how health insurance companies differ.
10 Essential Ingredients of a Good Plan
This is especially important if you are purchasing your policy from a new and unfamiliar company, but it's still always wise to check out any provider's health insurance ratings to make sure you are dealing with a valid and trustworthy business. Remember, before insurers agree to insure anyone, they investigate the applicant and the applicant's background. You should put them to the same test. Look for insurer and health insurance ratings through A.M. Best, Moody's, or Wiess rating agencies.
2. The Lifetime Payout
In the event of a catastrophic illness, your policy needs to provide a sufficient amount of health care coverage. However, to protect itself from ever having to pay too much, your insurer limits the lifetime payout. Therefore, lifetime payout is the maximum amount of reimbursement the health insurance company provides during your lifetime. $1 million is a good figure. Anything less and you run the risk of prematurely depleting the entire reserve for health care costs available to you, while aiming for a higher limit might make finding an inexpensive health insurance plan too difficult.
3. Largest deductible and co-payment you can afford
Setting a high deductible and high co-payment will lower your premium payments significantly. Although out-of-pocket medical costs will be higher, (and don't agree to a policy that puts these figures out-of-reach) this rule is key to bagging those inexpensive health insurance plans that are out there.
4. Reasonable out-of-pocket limit
This policy provision limits your out-of-pocket payments per year. It is especially important in the event of a serious illness, and we recommend that you consider only policies that carry one. However, it's wise to consider that setting a low maximum will increase the amount you pay in premiums. Try to establish a reasonable out-of-pocket maximum to balance risk with cost.
5. Waiver of premium provision
A waiver of premium provision allows you to skip premium payments during lengthy illness. Although not absolutely necessary, the provision is beneficial should an illness prevent you from working for an extended period of time. (And it isn't extremely important if you are reasonably certain that you'll be able to make the premium payments somehow, although you should never count on this.)
6. Renewable provision
The renewable provision is a must. It guarantees that your health insurance policy will be available for you to renew, even if you have been ill. You may be required to continue paying your premiums while ill (unless the health insurance includes the waiver of premium provision too), but you won't lose your coverage.
7. Timely coverage of pre-existing conditions
Often insurers require a waiting period before covering the health care costs for pre-existing health problems. Although it is standard for them to assign a waiting period, it should never be over a year. After picking through all the health insurance plans that satisfy your other requirements, check to see that the waiting period is between three months and a year.
8. Emergency coverage
Your policy must cover emergency medical services. In the past, some managed care plans were criticized because they required the primary care physician to approve emergency health care. This tactic may save money, but emergency care shouldn't be jeopardized. Read through your health insurance plan paying special attention to the definition of emergency, and verify with the health insurance company what is exactly covered. If you have access to health insurance ratings, take note of this factor.
9. Few prerequisites
Prerequisites are requirements you must first fulfill before receiving medical attention. Health insurance plans with too many prerequisites are too restrictive. A policy with a few prerequisites is fine - it's how the company survives (and how you get a low cost health insurance policy), but good health care should never be sacrificed. Deciding on what is too many is a bit subjective, but if it seems to you that the policy requires you to jump through too many hoops, then you may want to look elsewhere (or simply at a slightly different policy from the same insurer).
10. Use online resources to find the best health insurance plans
The internet is a great source for health insurance ratings, learning centers, and comparisons, but it's a great place to shop too. You won't feel pressured into buying a "hard sell" policy, and you can take your time and really comparison shop for the best reasonably priced health insurance policy.

In my work at Whirlwood Studio here in Marlborough, my philosophy is to create pieces that are pleasing to both me as the artist and to those who will own them. To this end emphasis is placed on shape, form, colour and texture, with each item being designed to be unique, whether it is for interior or exterior positioning. Works are designed for placement on walls, tables, plinths, gardens and entrances to public or commercial buildings.
I like to challenge the viewers of my art, thus many pieces are allegorical or symbolic and are often created in 'series'. Currently my 'series' list is:

Eddie Gaedel was born on this day in 1925 in Chicago. Later, he was in the middle of one Bill Veeck's craziest promotions.
In 1951, Mr Veeck had 3 foot 7-inch midget Eddie Gaedel appear in an American League game.
He wore the number "1/8" and walked on four pitches. They put a pinch runner for him and that was his baseball career. The commissioner did not allow Gaedel to appear in any more games.
By the way, the Browns moved to Baltimore in 1954. Eddie Gaedel died in 1961 at the age of 35.

Troubled budget carrier SpiceJet today submitted a revival plan to the government on the basis of a proposed investment of $200 million from founding promoter Ajay Singh and US-based JPMorgan Chase.
"It was a constructive meeting," the airline's Chief Operating Officer Sanjiv Kapoor told reporters after he submitted the plan to Civil Aviation Secretary V Somasundaran at the Ministry headquarters here.
He was accompanied by Singh, the original promoter who is reinvesting in the carrier.
Maintaining that there was "no outstanding" as of now with any oil marketing company, he said with 18 operational Boeing aircraft, Spicejet was currently flying 230 flights a day.
"Spicejet has many well wishers including Ajay Singh," the COO said.
Besides Singh, a fund managed by JPMorgan Chase would also be one of the investors. The potential investors are likely to buy stake from current promoter Kalanithi Maran by infusing $200 million within a month to help Spicejet stay afloat.
The airline has already received Rs 17 crore from the investors, official sources earlier said, adding that "it has wiped off all its dues to the oil companies".
The no-frill carrier's dues to foreign and Indian vendors, airport operators and oil companies had grown from Rs 990 crore to Rs 1,230 crore between November 24 and December 10, according to data provided by the airline to the Civil Aviation Ministry.
The airline's dues to foreign vendors, including lessors of aircraft and maintenance, repairs and overhaul (MRO) facilities, had risen from Rs 624 crore on November 24 to Rs 742 crore on December 10, according to the data. Spicejet owes banks Rs 300 crore against collateral.

Richard Gurley Drew (June 22, 1899 – December 14, 1980) was an American inventor who worked for Johnson and Johnson, Permacel Co., and 3M in St.Paul, Minnesota, where he invented masking tape and cellophane tape.
When Drew joined 3M in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1924, it was a modest manufacturer of sandpaper. While testing their new Wet or dry sandpaper at auto shops, Drew was intrigued to learn that the two-tone auto paintjobs so popular in the Roaring Twenties were difficult to manage at the border between the two colours. In response, after two years of work in 3M's labs, Drew invented the first masking tape (1923), a two-inch-wide tan paper strip backed with a light, pressure sensitive adhesive.
The first tape that had adhesive along its edges but not in the middle. In its first trial run, it fell off the car and the frustrated auto painter growled at Drew, "Take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to shove it!"[2] (By "Scotch," he meant "thrifty".) The nickname stuck, both to Drew's improved masking tape, and to his 1930 invention, Scotch Brand cellulose tape.
In 1930 he came up with the world's first transparent cellophane adhesive tape (called sellotape in the UK and Scotch tape in the United States). In the aftermath of the Wall Street Crash of 1929, people began using tape to repair items rather than replace them. This was the beginning of 3M's diversification into all manner of marketplaces and helped them to flourish in spite of the Great Depression.
Drew died in 1980 in Santa Barbara, California.

The final package of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (or ARRA), was signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009. The HITECH Act refers to the projected $20 to $30 billion set aside to provide incentives and other support. for Health Information Technology (HIT) infrastructure and EMR adoption.
The ARRA HITECH Act specifies incentive payments for hospitals, clinicians, and other eligible healthcare professionals. The incentive programs require that the provider demonstrate "Meaningful Use" of a certified EMR product. The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Healthcare IT is responsible for Standards and Certification; it defines the criteria by which EMR technology will be certified and whom will be accredited to certify such technology.
The HITECH Act creates a gradual approach to achieving increasingly rigorous Meaningful Use, with three distinct stages, expected to be updated every two years.
Stage I objectives and measures have been fully defined and are being implemented now.
Proposed rules for Stage II and Stage III criteria are targeted for completion by the end of 2011 and 2013 respectively with finalization during 2012 and 2014. Each stage will incorporate additional reporting and information exchange requirements and practices will have to adjust their workflows accordingly.
Financial incentives and eligibility for Meaningful Use Through its Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Department of Health and Human Services will provide financial incentives to Meaningful Users through either its Medicare or Medicaid programs. Unlike hospitals, eligible professionals (EPs) can only participate in one of these incentive programs, but not both. Medicaid eligible professionals with 30% of their volume attributable to Medicaid (20% for pediatricians) can receive up to $63,750 over a six-year period. Medicare incentive recipients can receive up to $44,000 over a five-year period. For Meaningful Users whose first payment year is 2011, Medicare incentive payments can be disbursed as early as May 2011 if all requirements are met (payments made in a lump sum). States will begin their Medicaid incentive programs on a rolling basis starting in 2011, subject to CMS approval of the state Medicaid HIT plans. Not all states had their Medicaid incentive programs operational by the start of 2011. Medicaid payments for the first year do not require meaningful use, just adoption, implementation or upgrade.
Meaningful use is structured around five health outcomes policy priorities as established by CMS: care coordination; engage patients and families; improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health disparities; ensure privacy and security protections for personal health information; and improve population and public health. The diagram below highlights the five health outcomes policies and some of the functionalities that certified EHRs, such as possess to support Meaningful Use.

Pick six carryover of $817,000 for Saturday's Breeders' Cup program
Ever since the Breeders' Cup went to a two-day format in 2007, officials have hoped that no one would hit the pick six on the first day.
In 2010, they got their wish.
Coupled with three mid-priced horses that won the first three races, Shared Account's win at 46-1 in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf almost certainly forced the first carryover in the four-year history of the Breeders' Cup as a two-day event. The Saturday pick six will have an $817,642 seed, a number that should push the pick six handle to a level unseen in years.
"Clearly an $817,000 carryover is something that we've never had at the event, and we're definitely going to be very anxious to see how that affects the betting in the pick six and the rest of the card on Saturday," said Ken Kirchner, the Breeders' Cup's simulcasting consultant, shortly after the 10-race card wrapped up. "It should be a very fun ride."
Total handle for the Friday pick six, which had a guaranteed pool of $750,000, was $1,346,067, with five of six paying $54,509.40. The record handle for the pick six was set in 1998, when bettors wagered $6,494,193. Handle for the pick six for the Breeders' Cup has steadily declined since then as the wagering menu has expanded and bettors have moved more of their wagering dollars to the pick four and rolling pick threes.
Betting-wise, the carryover was not the only good news for Breeders' Cup on Friday. According to the company, total commingled handle for the day's six Breeders' Cup races was $45,393,976, a 13 percent increase over the commingled handle of $40,277,320 last year. Separate-pool wagering from international jurisdictions was not yet available.
In total for the 10-race card, commingled handle was $53,010,624, a 9.4 percent increase over the commingled handle of $48,439,459 for a nine-race Friday card at Santa Anita, according to Breeders' Cup. On track, handle was $8,109,443, up 14 percent compared with the ontrack Friday handle of $7,097,789 last year.
The gains in handle augured especially well for Breeders' Cup considering the protracted decline in handle at most racetracks this year and last year. This was also the first Breeders' Cup to be run on a dirt track in two years, in contrast to the synthetic main track at Santa Anita.
Attendance on a cold, blustery day at Churchill was 41,614, a 10.5 percent gain over the crowd of 37,651 last year at Santa Anita, where weather conditions for the Friday and Saturday cards were ideal.
The last two races on the Friday card, the Filly and Mare Turf and Ladies' Classic, were run under the lights for the first time, and the Classic on Saturday is also expected to be run under the lights. Next year's Breeders' Cup will also be held at Churchill Downs, which installed permanent lights last year, and Breeders' Cup officials have said that they will consider shifting the Friday card further into prime-time for 2011.
Only one favorite won in the six Breeders' Cup races on Friday: Awesome Feather, who was the longest-priced favorite to win a Breeders' Cup race when she won the Juvenile Fillies at 4.20-to-1. The other winners were Eldaafer, ($23.20) in the Marathon; More Than Real, ($29.20) in the Juvenile Fillies Turf; Dubai Majesty, ($19.20) in the Filly and Mare Sprint; Shared Account ($94) in the Filly and Mare Turf; and Unrivaled Belle ($17) in the Ladies' Classic. The average win payoff for the day was $32.
Going into the Saturday card, Kirchner said he was mildly concerned about the high payoffs because of their potential impact on churn, the term that is used to describe the amount of winnings that players bet back into the pools. Typically, churn is higher when payoffs are lower, because money is spread out among more winners and not concentrated in so few hands.
"That's always a concern in situations like this, but there's been so much attention on the Classic [because of unbeaten Zenyatta, the favorite] that we're hopeful that the wagering is going to stay strong tomorrow," Kirchner said. "People saw what happened today, and just how competitive all the races were, and so I think we'll have plenty of attention tomorrow."
The $1 Super High 5 in the Ladies' Classic paid $15,517.60 and attracted $153,080. The Super High 5, which has been implemented by a number of tracks in the past several years, requires a bettor to select the first five finishers in order. Another Super High 5 will be offered for the Classic on Saturday.
Midday, the 4-5 favorite in the Turf, was the shortest-priced horse to fail to win on Friday. The 4-year-old Midday, who won the Filly and Mare Turf last year, finished second this year to the longshot Shared Account while holding off a late charge by the 31-1 Keertana. The order of finish triggered some of the highest exotic prices of the day: $147.60 for the $1 exacta; $1,915.20 for the $1 trifecta; and $12,774,40 for the $1 superfecta.
In the Marathon, Prince Will I Am, the co-second favorite at 5-1, was disqualified from second to 10th, a decision that elevated the 25-1 longshot Gabriel's Hill to second place and significantly boosted the exotic prices. With 10-1 Eldaafer on top and 6-1 A.U. Miner in third place, the $1 exacta was $226.80 and the $1 trifecta was $2,193.50. Giant Oak, the 7-2 favorite, was fourth, filling out a $1 superfecta that paid $11,934.
The Juvenile Turf Fillies, the day's second Breeders' Cup race, also had a blow-out superfecta price that was keyed by the 13-1 win of More Than Real. With even-money favorite Winter Memories second, 7-1 Kathmanblu third, and the 73-1 Forest Legend fourth, the $1 superfecta paid $6,610.60.
The Breeders' Cup pick six handle for the Friday races last year was $1,503,616, about $150,000 above the pick six handle this year. However, bettors seemed to put more of their focus and money into the pick four this year, wagering $2,045,401, a 49.1 percent increase over the pick four handle last year of $1,371,372. The pick four had a $750,000 guarantee this year, and its minimum was reduced to 50 cents. The 50-cent payoff was $17,064.75.
The trifecta minimum was also reduced to 50 cents, a move that appeared to bump up handle slightly when compared to trifecta pools last year.

Oil Change
Fast, Affordable Oil Changes at
Soo Alinement
Why Change Your Oil Regularly?
Your vehicle's engine is made up of moving parts, and those need to be properly lubricated to prevent damage. Oil provides that lubrication to engine components. After roughly 3,500 driving miles, oil breaks down and also gets contaminated with dust, dirt and debris. When that occurs, oil stops protecting your engine like it should. Over time, costly repairs might be necessary if your old oil and filter aren't replaced on a regular basis.
At Soo Alinement, our certified technicians can change your oil and filter quickly while keeping your engine performing like new. Our oil change services address all types of vehicles, from semi-trucks to subcompact cars, and with an emphasis on quality, affordability and getting you in-and-out of our shop quickly.
Get Regular Oil Changes for these Reasons
Following the manufacturer's recommended oil replacement guidelines will prolong your car, truck, motorcycle, RV or SUV engine's longevity for the following reasons:
- Keeps all your engine's moving parts lubricated
- Improves gas mileage which saves you money every week
- Removes engine debris and resulting "sludge" which can wear out engine parts
- Cools down engine parts that produce friction-induced heat
In the end, one of the simplest ways to improve your engine's life and keep it running is to get a regular oil change. Showing proof of routine oil changes will also enhance your vehicle's resale value!

When Should You Switch Your Baby's Formula?
I mentioned in my tips for bottle-feeding moms that switching formula was a bad idea. My health visitor recommended to stick to the same one. However, we've just recently made a switch.
So, when is it a good time?
Depends on the Switch
What switch are you making first? We opted to switch brands of formula, but stuck to the first stage infant milk. There are lots of different types of brands out there, and some will be different makeups than others.
The one switch we were advised against was to go from infant milk to hungrier baby formula. Apparently this switch makes no difference for the extra price you pay. The comfort and acid reflux options are not really worthwhile either, apparently.
When we had our first daughter, we did make a switch to the comfort option of our brand. We found that there was a difference, but only a slight one. It was worth it for us. We haven't bothered trying it with our second daughter. Instead, we're focusing on getting as much wind up as possible.
Helping Little Tummies
Switching brands could certainly be worthwhile. This is the change we made at the weekend. We went from Cow & Gate to Aptamil formula. This was a change we made for our first daughter, because we found her little tummy couldn't deal with C&G formula. She suffered from watery stools. This has been the case the last few weeks for our second daughter, and we're wondering whether it is the brand.
Right now, we're trying the new brand; according to research, Aptamil is the one that midwives in the UK recommend. We'll see if it helps her little tummy because we really need to fix that part!
We know we'll need to give the new formula at least a week to see any difference. I'm going to give it this time and maybe a little longer.
When Intolerant to Dairy
There are soy versions of the formulas out there, and these could be worth switching to. Some babies have an intolerance to dairy, and can't stomach the normal baby formulas.
This may be something that we have to consider if the change of brand doesn't work. I'll bring it up to my health visitor the next time I see her if there is still an issue.
The soy versions do cost more, but they will certainly be worth it. I can't put a price on my daughter's health and well-being.
Are you considering switching baby formula? It depends on the switch as to whether it is worth it. Consider what you are switching to and find out whether it really does make a difference or not.

I have generally felt that working with nori takes a longer time due to the attention required to small details. Today is 15 minute Friday on Bentos On the Bayou and I decided to give myself a challenge to finish today's lunch with nori details in under 15 minutes.
Today is a public holiday, so I bought mini lotus paste buns (lian yong bao) from the market this morning. I wanted to buy the mini char siew bao (barbecued pork buns) but they were not ready yet, such a pity! The buns (bao) are decorated to look like seals.
Took some photos of the bento making process with a timer (timer counts up). Took 7 minutes to punch out the nori facial details and affix them. The rest of the bento was a breeze to fix, they had fruits (kiwi, strawberries and grapes) and a slice of konnyaku mango jelly which I made last night. Took 13 minutes 42 seconds in all to fix Z2's bento.
And here is Z1's bento:

LONDON (Malawi NewsNow)- An international booking agency which works with an extensive catalogue of artists and celebrities is branching into Africa with two Malawians, Arthur Milanzi and James Woods-Nkhutabasa in the management board .
Next Level Agency (NLA), the company has linked up international acts with organisers and promoters in little known lands and promises to end disappointments in cancellation of performances
" NLA will give promoters and event organisers an open access to the international music and entertainment scene. We have access to some of the biggest names in music industry. Our experience allowed us to cement relationships directly with artists and their managers.
" Our presence in Malawi means promoters can now book artists and celebrities from a reliable source, with a proven track record of delivering successful show," said London based Milanzi.
According to him, Malawi will become an entertainment hub and the high profile shows will also contribute towards the increase in the country's tourism industry.
He adds: "These shows will allow some Malawian artists to share a massive platform with international artists. The transition of bringing artists that people would only otherwise see on TV to performing at local venues and stadiums is one that will inspire the music audience in Malawi."
As a booking agency, NLA will help bridge the gap between artists and promoters to ensure that all necessary due diligence is done and all parties are protected in order to deliver successful shows, according to Milanzi.

Lara Bingle yesterday spoke out about parting ways with major sponsor ROC Eyewear.
Through her manager Chrissy Biasotto, the model maintained that a Twitter photo of herself wearing designer sunglasses did not spell the end for her relationship with the brand.
"The contract with ROC finished on April 30 and the photo was taken a month later," Biasotto said.
"Lara loved working with ROC and hopes to again in the future. She is at liberty to wear whatever sunglasses she likes."
Update: An item published in Sydney Confidential concerned Lara Bingle's sponsorship with ROC Eyewear.
Any inference that the relationship was terminated by ROC after Lara was seen in Karen Walker sunglasses should not have been drawn.
The Daily Telegraph apologises to Ms Bingle.
