Well Being
Chocolate Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich Cookies
Well, here is my first post, and it's driving me nuts because the pictures simply won't be nice and upload…. Anyway… I made Chocolate Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cookies from Celebrate with Chocolate.
For the White Chocolate Bread Dough
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 lb. butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
3 oz. melted white chocolate
For the Chocolate Crust Dough
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp. salt
3 oz. butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg white
1 oz. unsweetened chocolate
peanut butter
grape jelly
I'll give the basic instructions before my own comments:
The procedure is the same for both doughs, and it's fairly simple. Sift the flower and salt together. Cream (see comments) the butter and sugar together, add the egg, mix until fully incorporated, then add the melted chocolate. Mix well. Gradually add the dry ingredients.
The result is a dough that doesn't come together in the mixer, but it is not so sticky that it's hard to shape once you turn it out on to the wax paper. Turn, or rather, scrape, out the dough onto a sheet of wax paper, a 12 x 18 rectangle, and shape the white chocolate dough so that it resembles a loaf of bread, about 2 x 2 1/2 inches. Put that on a baking sheet and stick it in the fridge while you're making the chocolate crust. When you turn/scrape that one out, just form it all together before you start rolling it out. Roll it out into a rectangle that will completely and neatly cover your 'loaf' that's in the fridge. Bring out the white chocolate loaf, and wrap it in the chocolate dough (please see comments especially about this part; you might make up your mind to do something else). Make sure it's still shaped like a loaf of bread, and make sure that there are no air bubbles inside your assembled loaf. Wrap it neatly in the wax paper, and stick it back in the fridge for another hour.
Preheat the oven to 325°. Take out the loaf and slice it 1/4 inch thick. I used a butcher's knife (see comments).
Place on a greased baking sheet about a half-inch apart.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Let them cool for about 10-15 minutes, and then carefully use a spatula to get them off the sheet. Spread peanut butter on one slice and grape jelly on the other (make sure you spread on the side that was touching the baking sheet). Put them together like a sandwich and slice each one of these sandwiches in half.
What you get is a half-sandwich that's about 2 x 3 inches.
And now for the chef's notes…
I started baking at about 7 PM and stayed up until 1:30 AM, because Dad meant to bring the cookies to some meeting at work. I didn't follow the recipe to the letter, I'm afraid, so that might have had something to do with the fact that the dough wasn't as stiff as it was described… I didn't follow the times… the whole mixing for 1 minute, for 20 seconds, and so on… so that was probably a bad thing. It did not say that the butter was supposed to be softened, so I didn't wait for it to soften, and then the recipe said to beat until soft, not to cream it. I'm thinking that there is a difference. So… I ended up creaming it before adding the egg and therefore left it to mix longer than the 2 minutes that I was told to mix it. Hmph. So yes, I noticed it said something like "this dough is very stiff," but when I finished mixing it, it didn't seem any more stiff than normal cookie dough.
I did use wax paper; it gave me that option, though it put parchment paper first. I was kind of in a hurry, so what actually happened was, I let both doughs chill for an hour, separately. I did not read the part about wrapping the white chocolate in the chocolate before putting it in for that hour. So… I'm actually still trying to figure out if that was better or not, because I honestly think that the white dough wouldn't have been chilled enough to keep it's shape if I wrapped it in the chocolate dough right away. I think it was better the way it was, because the white chocolate stayed in a nice block, or loaf, or log, whatever you would like to call it, while I was wrapping it in the chocolate. So, I don't know what would have happened if I'd read that part properly, but it still worked out, so I'll let you decide how you want to do it, if you want to wrap it right away, or chill for an hour before wrapping. You might want to see how the white chocolate dough feels, and make your desicion based on that. It might have been a time-saver if I'd followed the directions, but considering that the dough didn't come together in the mixer, I think it might have been a lucky mistake.
Now, when cutting the dough, it said to use a serrated knife, but I definitely think the butcher's knife was the better choice, because it slipped in neatly. The recipe said very specifically to cut the loaf into 32 slices exactly, but I ended up cutting it into 30… It was also very specific about spreading 2 tbsps of peanut butter and jelly on each sandwich, but I didn't follow that either… lol. I just… estimated. And went by my own… head. *grin* I think I did ok. Anyway, packed up the cookies for Dad to take the next morning, put a note on the fridge to Daddy, and I went to SLEEP.
And the next day when I had a cookie, I found out that it was so thick because of the filling, it was at least 6 bites. NOT FAIR! Only 17 ppl at Daddy's meeting and I'd sent some 26 cookies that were at least 6 big bites?!?! Too late…. LOL Daddy said they were a big hit. Gone. Totally. Ah well… at least it feels good to know that people liked them… Ngek. *grin*

Next match Friday, Sept. 16 in Baytown versus Victoria College
PASADENA, Texas – The San Jac volleyball team is currently ranked 14th among the Top 20 National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) D1 volleyball teams.

As we progress through the season we become more and more fine-tuned and get better each time we play. Thank you to the NJCAA for this national recognition for our team and our college."

My family love cake... especially chocolate cake!
It seems our love of cake has passed on to the next generation.
My niece Olivia recently turned one and while I had a proper cake smash planned for a week after her party, she decided on an impromptu cake smash of her own during a little family gathering to celebrate on her actual birthday itself.
The photos on the right show an early appreciation of all things chocolate and messy.
After this little episode, I had HIGH hopes for her 'official' cake smash scheduled for the next weekend!
Newsflash... she didn't disappoint!
I may be slightly biased because she is my niece...... but she's just so damn cute!!

I've used Etherpad a lot, since it's the primary way various openstack projects take notes at the meetups. Is Hackpad a fork of Etherpad? Anyone who's used both care to comment on the differences?
I don't know if it's a fork, but the Readme claims that it's at least based on Etherpad:
Hackpad is a web-based realtime wiki, based on the open source EtherPad collaborative document editor.
I wish they either had an online demo of this (preferable), or at least some videos detailing how it works, clearly linked from the website.

Coventry's diverse cultural scene is set to be given its biggest ever showcase at this year's Coventry Godiva Festival.
As part of the bid for UK City of Culture in 2021, one of the festival tents will be dedicated to Coventry's art and culture on Sunday, July 3, with a host of performances throughout the day in order to give festival goers a flavour of the outstanding talent the city has to offer.
And local artists, groups and performers are being urged to put themselves forward to be part of the day.
The team behind the bid are in the process of recruiting professional producers to formulate the 'Coventry's Got Culture' event and they want the programme to be filled with a mix of performing artists who will breathe life into the tent throughout the day.
As well as performers, the bid team also want to involve artists who will help to 'dress' the tent and turn it into a live work of art. It's the first major public event staged by the team behind the City of Culture bid since the city decided to enter the competition.
Pictured: Laura McMillan (front, centre) with a range of artists and performers from the city
Laura McMillan, City of Culture Trust manager, said: "The time is right to really take the bid to a place that brings the whole of Coventry together – and the Godiva Festival is definitely the right place to do that.
"We are looking for amateur and professional performers and artists to come forward to really make this a day to remember and to be a line in the sand that says that this is when Coventry really came together behind the bid.
"It could be dance, visual art, music, performance, theatre or digital art – anything that shows the eclectic range of art that the city has to offer.
"It's not going to be a talent contest – it's a very real showcase of the best that Coventry has to offer in terms of art and live performance.
"That said, we want to hear from artists and performers from right across the community. While we've got to know many of them since we announced we were bidding, we know there is much untapped talent out there that we want to see."
A form is available from the City of Culture website that will allow artists to detail what they would bring to the festival and that would be followed by a meeting with the producers for the event.
Laura added: "Ultimately, this will be the biggest showcase of our cultural talent in Coventry and will bring an extra edge to the hugely successful Godiva Festival.
"It's a key moment in the bid and we are excited by what this event could mean for the city.
"The first stage is for artists to get in touch and then we can put together a programme that the city can be proud of."
The deadline for proposals is Monday, 9 May at 9am. The application form and further information can be downloaded from www.coventry2021.co.uk.
Coventry City Council, The University of Warwick, and Coventry University are Principal Partners of the bid and are providing significant support. The Ricoh Arena is main bid sponsor while Jaguar Land Rover was the first bid event sponsor to be announced.
The Godiva Festival takes place from Friday, July 1, to Sunday, July 3.

We arrive in Boat harbour on the 4th Jan.
Then head to Hobart on the 6th,
Huon Valley? on the 8th
Coles Bay 9th
Boat Harbour again on the 12th
I DEFINITELY recon you's should organise a cruise and meet somewhere. Cause I am gonna spend the whole week in a Ford wagon renta-car. And although that is going to be fun it can't compete with a vlt.

Yo i'm in Hobart at the moment.
Saw a real tidy white calais turbo in Smithton the other day. big front mount . I nearly fell out the window I got soo excited.
Saw a pretty clean red vl on the way to Hobart too. Looked like an NA but still low with maybe 18's ?
Anyway I have sent a few P.M's around. just thought It might be a good idea if we all met up in Hobart somewhere and someone can show me how the VLT's perform in the wet then hit the Casino and have a big night.
Or just the Casino. Whatever. I Just wanna do something.
If anyone has any good ideas could ya message or call me on 0423203977 cause I don't think i'll be able to get back on the net before tonight.
Thanks guys.

Hey dude, got your PM - I will send you a message later on (out of credit atm) but I'm gonna post here as well...
I'm in Launceston and won't be able to make it to Hobart tonight. But I have a suggestion for you.
I see that you're in Coles Bay on Sunday - do you reckon you'll be able to take the rent a car for a cruise around lunchtime? The reason I ask is that our club (Commodore Club of Tasmania) are holding a cruise down to St Helens (north of Coles Bay, maybe an hour's drive? I'm not sure) - there will be cars there from all parts of the state.
Just as a rough estimate I reckon there'll be at least 20 cars there (we had 24 cars at our last meet and have picked up more members since then) and there's a fair few VLs in that lot (some turbo, some N/A) as well as a bunch of other tough cars. I believe PSI086 and JETVLT off these forums will be there too....
Just a suggestion for you dude! Otherwise we were thinking about having a short cruise from there, maybe we can come down to you... see if you can come up and meet us anyway, we're having a BBQ lunch on the St Helens waterfront.

Thanks RevvedUp Yeah it looks like the only person coming out tonight is Andy.
Me and my sisiter will still be out anyway.
And yeah I am not ment to drive the rentacar cause I am under 21 (19) or something like that. but if mum wont let me take it then i'll just get them to drop me there. That sounds like a good idea to me. Would it be possible to hitch a ride in someone's car on the cruise ???
I'll try to get back on here tomorrow when I have things sorted out bit better.
By the way your weather here is SHEITE HOUSE
Thanks again.

TFW you're triple booked with three amazing dates and you don't know which to choose. A handsome and straight-laced champagne diamond solitaire by Rebecca Overmann has a secret wild side with a hidden halo setting. Or will it be the striking and unusual Demi Prism ring by Lauren Wolf, with .68ct of white kite-cut diamonds? Don't drop the ball on a classically charming salt-n-pepper three-stone Lauren Wolf ring either. It's hard to play the field with so many incredible choices. Don't stress – just wear them all!

An Investigation of the Effects of Sexism and Sex Role Identification on the Criticism of Classroom Speeches.
Pearson, Judy C.
A study was undertaken to clarify the inconsistent research findings on the effects of the sex of the evaluator and the sex of the speaker in classroom speech criticism by examining the effects of the sex role identification and the sexism of the evalutor. One hundred twenty-three college students enrolled in a basic public speaking course completed the Bem Sex Role Inventory, which measures a person's femininity, masculinity, or androgyny, and the Pearson Response to Sexism, which measures an individual's perceptions of the differences between sex roles. Throughout the quarter-long course, the students were randomly assigned to critique the speeches of other students. Approximately ten people critiqued each of the speakers. At the end of the course, ten critiques of male speakers and ten critiques of female speakers were randomly selected for each evaluator and the total points assigned to each speech by the evaluator was recorded. The results showed that feminine females tended to be more lenient in their criticism than androgynous persons, who, in turn, were more lenient than masculine males. In addition, sexist evaluators were more harsh than were nonsexist evaluators. A high correlation between sex and sexism demonstrated that women were most often nonsexist and that men were most often sexist in their evaluations. (FL)

text: For peace in the Middle EastCycling for peace 2011 from Brussels to Jerusalem,in the name of the European Union After our successfull Austrian cycling-for-peace-tour 2009 from Vienna to Jerusalem I would like to invite now people from all countries of the European Union, to share another action for a lasting peace in Israel/Palestine. The success of our peace-tour in 2009 from Easter, April 13th until 21st of May, the traditional Jerusalem day accomplished in a development of a rather mixed group of Austrians within the 40 days of our tour to a peacekeeping, peacewilling little community and, back in Austria, we spread out our ideas of a peace for the Middle East in seminaries, discussions, speeches. Europe has a responsibility for the future in the Middle East.If there will be only a few cyclists of each member-country of the EU, this cycling-for-peace-tour will be a strong sign, that cant be overseen. It would be preferable, if also not-yet-members of the EU would join our peace-tour. I understand this tour as an invitation to Jews, Christians and muslims, but also to everybody in Europe, who wants to contribute to peace in the Middle East. The aim of the cycling for peace-tour is to demonstrate, that we Europeans really feel for all people in the Middle East and that we long for a peaceful together-with or at least coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians, jews and Muslims. Im convinced, that it will be possible for the children, more: the friends of One God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Ismail, to respect each other and to enable a development in peace, security and economic welfare for both, the Israelis as well as the Palestinians. The day of the start could be like in 2009 the Easter Monday the traditional day of peace-marches in Europe.

Local, state and federal officials on Tuesday celebrated the opening of Garden State Tanning's corporate headquarters, which moved from King of Prussia, Pa., to Washington County.
Garden State started using the 17,500-square-foot headquarters in the OSI Building on Crayton Boulevard off Maugans Avenue north of Hagerstown about 60 days ago, said Joseph E. Cooley Jr., vice president of sales and marketing for the company.
Garden State Tanning is a manufacturer of automotive leather upholstery with two manufacturing and processing facilities in Williamsport.
The company has a total of about 2,300 employees, Cooley said.
At a ceremony Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md., and others praised the company for moving its headquarters to be closer to its Williamsport plants.
For Garden State to decide to move to Maryland shows an endorsement of Maryland's business climate, said David Iannucci, secretary of the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development.

A Virginia man got more than he bargained for when he found $4500 in a box of chicken he ordered from a fast food restaurant.
According to FOX 59, James Minor ordered a meal from a Richmond area Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits drive thru Friday. When he realized the chicken was cold, he sent it back to the person working at the window who told him to wait while they made fresh chicken.
When Minor returned home with the new bag and checked his order, he found $4500 in cash and deposit slips instead of chicken. He quickly recorded cell phone footage and returned to the restaurant.
"I'm honest. I know what integrity is. I have integrity," Minor told WTVR CBS 6.
Minor asked for a manager and explained what happened, but the reaction was not what he expected.
"He told me in an arrogant, nasty attitude being disrespectful saying that, 'We would've called the authorities on you, too,'" Minor said. "Here I am doing a good thing, bringing the money back. Most folks probably would've kept on going and wouldn't have recognized it until they got home."
Minor said he was offered another meal and a tailgate party. He then tried calling a district manager, who he says hung up on him, before getting through to the chain's corporate headquarters.
From that call he was offered a $100 gift certificate, but Minor says he wants something else.
"I deserve respect, an apologetic letter from the Bojangles' company and probably a cash reward," he said. "What is a $100 gift certificate when you're bringing in $4,500?"

Why dont they make these in my size?
A few weeks ago I was in the shoe department and spotted these little cuties in the kiddies section. Yes, I did try to squeeze my feet into them but they didnt have any kids size 4.5 or I might have been able to get away with it!
Today I am having lunch with the wife of one of the Suburban Prince's co-workers. I have met her a few times in the box at hockey games but we have never spent any time together away from the professional environment so it will be interesting to see what she is like when we can relax! She invited me to her home which is in a super posh area so I will be making sure my Chanel-esqe jacket and other sharp pieces are ready to make a splash! No doubt I will get there and she will be dressed in ratty jeans and a tank top lol!
Have a fabulous day!

Refused + Sick Of It All + High Tension Announce 2017 Tour
It seems like only yesterday that we were campaigning our goddamn hearts out to bring legendary hardcore punks Refused to our shores after an unfathomably long time away. In 2012 the Swedes proved they weren't fucking dead and announced a string of shows across the country, much to the delight of those whose formative years were soundtracked by 1998's boundary-breaking The Shape Of Punk To Come.
Four years on and with a new record under their belts, Dennis Lyxzén and co. have seen fit to visit our shows once more, with hardcore icons Sick Of It All (celebrating their 30th anniversary no less) and local bruisers High Tension getting in on the mayhem.
The tour is set to hit Brisbane on January 20th, before passing through Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne, and wrapping things up in Fremantle on the 26th.
With a couple of BLUNT staffers having recently taken in the band's blistering set at this year's Hellfest Open Air Festival in France – complete with Lyxzén's impassioned speech about gender inequality in music – we can assure you that after nearly three decades together, they possess more energy on stage than we've probably ever had in our lives.
"It's not a reunion anymore," Lyxzen insists. "This is one of the most radical things we've ever done."
Tickets are on sale Wednesday July 13th @ 9am.

Children's Holiday parade
Llama Llama Red Pajama-we read this book every night
Gavin's Favorite: a train with bubbles
Best family picture we could get.
Last Saturday we went to the Children's Parade in downtown Dallas. My parents volunteer each year to help check tickets, so we decided to tag along. Last year, Gavin had so much fun, so I knew this year would be even better. We got down there pretty early, so Gavin had plenty of time to see the clowns, say hi to the characters, and run around A LOT. It was a really fun morning. We were all exhausted afterwards. Gavin took a really long nap that afternoon. A plus for both of us!!! :)

Volcanic eruptions have spread ash across parts of Costa Rica and forced the cancellation of schools in the Turrialba area.
The Turrialba volcano erupted three times on Thursday, the last occurring at 2:50 p.m. local time, according to the University of Costa Rica.
The current series of eruptions began March 8. It marked the second major eruption of Turrialba in the last five years. Prior to 2010, Turrialba last erupted 145 years earlier.

Ash from the eruptions was forecast to fall over 40 kilometers (20 miles), according to a USGS forecast provided by the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica. The observatory had received numerous ash reports from across the region.

No injuries or damage were reported, according to Costa Rica media.
The eruptions also forced the closure of Costa Rica's Juan Santamaría International Airport until at least Friday morning, according to the Tico Times website.

What is more exciting than bringing a newborn into the world? After all, the future of mankind really does depend on our children and our children's children.
Unfortunately, labor as well as delivery can be a very complicated and unpredictable process. When an expectant mother goes through the birth process she trusts that her doctors and other medical professionals will maintain the highest of standards as they help to guide her through the childbirth process.
Doctors have to be able to make instantaneous decisions in order to protect the safety and health of the newborn and its mother. When a trained physician or other medical professional fails to observe any warning signs - or when they deviate from accepted medical standards of care - children are often unnecessarily harmed.
Birth injuries can range from those that will heal themselves and have no long term adverse affects to extremely serious injuries that can affect a child's brain.
If, during delivery, the baby lacks oxygen for one reason or another, or if there is any bleeding within the baby's brain or skull, then serious birth injuries are often the result. And many of these birth injuries cause irreversible brain damage.
Oxygen shortages can be caused by a number of different things. The baby may be in an unusual birth position. Or the placenta may prematurely separate from the wall of the uterus. There could also be problems with circulation within the umbilical cord. In addition, labor may be either too short or too long.
Most of the medical malpractice claims that are based on injuries due to a shortage of oxygen allege that the medical professionals involved with the birthing process failed to recognize, anticipate, or react to any of these potentially dangerous scenarios.
Other factors that can lead to birth injuries include the failure to correctly anticipate the baby's size, the use of excessive force during the delivery, not ordering a C-section when necessary, and others.
Roughly nine and one half percent of all the medical malpractice lawsuits involve either the failure to properly diagnose problems either before or while they are happening, or the misdiagnosis of problems related to child birth.
Two types of cases that are predominate in birth injury malpractice lawsuits involve either Cerebral Palsy (CP) or Erb's Palsy (sometimes called Brachial Plexus palsy).
Because medical professionals have accepted the responsibility of taking good care of both the mother as well as the newborn child, if there has been a breach in their actions that caused injury to either they should be held accountable.

2018 USA Volleyball Girls' Junior National Championships
Cobo Center
June 25-July 4
Age Group - Dates of play
11 - Friday, June 29-Sunday, July 1
12 - Wednesday, June 27-Saturday, June 30
13 - Friday, June 29-Monday, July 2
14 - Monday, June 25-Thursday, June 28
15 - Tuesday, June 26-Friday, June 29
16 - Sunday, July 1-Wednesday, July 4
17 - Saturday, June 30-Tuesday, July 3
The city of Detroit will be home to one of the biggest national volleyball events in the country over the next week.
The USA Girls' Junior National Championships began on Monday and will run through July 4 at Cobo Center, featuring club volleyball teams of all ages from around the country, competing for national championships in 26 different divisions.
"The talent level here will be incredible. You are talking about talent that will be playing for NCAA championships in years to come as well as playing at the Olympic level," Detroit Sports Commission Director Kris Smith said of the event.
More than 1,270 volleyball teams will compete this event, with age groups starting at 11 all the way up to 17.
The featured divisions throughout the tournament will be in the Open Divisions of the 14, 15, 16 and 17-year-old age groups. Each will feature 36 of the best clubs teams from around the nation, giving attendees a chance to see the future of American volleyball.
"Get to Cobo Center early, set up shop and plan to spend the entire day watching some tremendous volleyball," Smith said. "You can park right at Cobo Center. Matches start at 8 a.m. and the final matches each day are around 9 p.m. There are 75 courts set up in Cobo Center right now. If you can't find good volleyball on any of those courts, then I don't think you are going to find it anywhere."
Among the local competitors in the tournament are Michigan Elite and Legacy Volleyball Club, a pair of organizations in the Oakland County area.
Along with the excitement of the tournament action, the event provides a big boost for Detroit in terms of tourism.
"When you look at the sheer mass of the tournament, with over 1,200 teams here, the economic impact is tremendous," Smith said. "Anytime you can get this many people into the community and get new faces and eyes into the resurgence that is Detroit, that is huge for the city. Anytime we have an opportunity to bring in young people and new families into our community, it is a big positive for Detroit."
The event took a while to set up, but the Detroit Sports Commission was aided by some Detroit-area football teams, including a big help from the Southfield A&T program.
"We put the call out for volunteers to help us set up the 75 volleyball courts for this event. We had a handful of schools help out, but I need to give a special thanks to coach (Tim) Conley at Southfield A&T and his kids," Smith said. "They showed up for three consecutive days to volunteer to help put the courts down and they will be coming back to help us pick them up when things wrap up. I can't express to you how much that helps us do what we do to make this event possible and shine a light on the city of Detroit."
Play began on Monday for the 14-year-old age group. Each age group will play for four consecutive days, with the 16-year-old age division closing things out on July 4. All matches will be held at the Cobo Center, which also has parking. Children 12 and under are admitted for free. An adult 1-day pass is $15 and a day pass for military, students and those over 60 is $10. You can purchase a tournament pass that lasts the entire event for $45 for adults and $35 for students, military and those over 60.

Mariah Carey Sings Carpool Karaoke with James Corden
We've all sung a little bit of Mariah on cruise control. After all, "Always Be My Baby" was pretty much made for full-on-windows-down-volume-up car belting.
But does Mariah sing her own songs while she's driving?
New Late Late Show host James Corden recently had a very special passenger with him while cruising the streets of Los Angeles – the diva herself. Because, you know, when you're bored while doing errands it's fun to have Mariah Carey there to entertain you.
Surprisingly, James Corden's Mariah impression is pretty on point while they sing through the cannon: "Fantasy," "Vision of Love," and "Thirsty." Mariah even gave us her best British dialect – and it's nothing to scoff at. She does admit she doesn't much feel like singing though. "I'm not singing today. I was up all night." Sure thing, Mariah.
The two even had a few moments of flirtation – Mariah IS back on the market after all! But Corden quickly nipped that in the bud saying, "I'm a married man. You've gotta stop what you're doing, cause I know exactly what you're doing."
Just in case you're hankering to hear the original now…
This video is your dream (lover) come true – singing Mariah Carey karaoke with Mariah herself!?

Although there are a number of benefits to implementing an EHR system in your hospital or clinic, one of the most significant benefits is the reduced risk to patients because of adverse drug events, or ADEs. Most, if not all, EHRS have a system to detect ADEs, which can not only save lives but save billions of dollars each year.
However, according to a new study in the Journal of American Medical Informatics Association, not all EHRs are making the grade when it comes to detecting ADEs. In fact, some systems have serious design flaws, giving them a failing grade in this area.
According to the study, 6.5% of hospitalized patients go through an ADE, which makes these mistakes a very real and significant threat to patient health. Again, one of the biggest advantages of EHR systems is their ability to catch ADEs before they happen. The researchers theorized that EHRs would be far more efficient at detecting ADEs because they're faster, cheaper, and more objective than manual chart reviews.
However, the study shows that these detections are accurate only 50% of the time in the best of cases. And for some EHRs, this number was much lower. Here's a summary of the study's results, which are really interesting (you can find the full abstract here):
Forty-eight studies met our inclusion criteria. Twenty-four (50%) studies reported rule accuracy but only 9 (18.8%) utilized a proper gold standard (chart review in all patients). Rule accuracy was variable and often poor (range of sensitivity: 40%–94%; specificity: 1.4%–89.8%; positive predictive value: 0.9%–64%). 5 (10.4%) studies derived or used detection rules that were defined by clinical need or the underlying ADE prevalence. Detection rules in 8 (16.7%) studies detected specific types of ADEs.
The problem is that there are very few studies that look at ADE detection in a scientific way. Another problem is that there are no standard ADE definitions, which leads to missed or inaccurate detection of ADEs.
The good news is that NextGen has a very effective system in place to handle allergy, and drug-to-drug interactions. This is one of the biggest benefits of the NextGen EHR.
The researchers recommend that IT developers and investigators pay more attention to the algorithms they use to detect ADEs, and the various ways they can occur. If you're researching different EHR systems for your own hospital or clinic, ADE detection is something you'll want to pay particular attention to. Find out how accurate each vendor's e-prescribing and ADE detection is, and ask what they're doing to improve the accuracy of these two systems.

Maui Aquaponics Workers Cooperative
The unemployment rate for working-age people with disabilities in 2012 was 15%, compared with a rate of 8% for working age individuals without disabilities. This substantial disparity have persisted despite years of technological advances that have made it possible for many people with disabilities to apply for and successfully perform a broad array of jobs.
Unfortunately, significant disability comes stigma and hampers capable working-age people from a broad array of jobs. The attitudinal barriers and other societal hindrance to competitive employment were a significant driver in the start-up of the Maui Aquaponics Workers Cooperative as a for-profit, 100% disability-owned registered cooperative.
The co-op founders began their initial business preparation in 2011 as professional trainees in the University of Hawaii aquaponics technician certification program offered by the Center on Disability Studies, Hawaii Aquaponics Workforce Development intensive. The forward-thinking investment for the training came from the state Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and the Adult Mental Health Division of Department of Health.

There are no walls between Stanford and Silicon Valley. Should there be?
by Ken Auletta April 30, 2012
Stanford University is so startlingly paradisial, so fragrant and sunny, it's as if you could eat from the trees and live happily forever. Students ride their bikes through manicured quads, past blooming flowers and statues by Rodin, to buildings named for benefactors like Gates, Hewlett, and Packard. Everyone seems happy, though there is a well-known phenomenon called the "Stanford duck syndrome": students seem cheerful, but all the while they are furiously paddling their legs to stay afloat. What they are generally paddling toward are careers of the sort that could get their names on those buildings. The campus has its jocks, stoners, and poets, but what it is famous for are budding entrepreneurs, engineers, and computer aces hoping to make their fortune in one crevasse or another of Silicon Valley.

Prolifers & the Reagan/Bush Tease
March 1993By Dale Vree
Dale Vree is Editor of New Oxford Review.
Prolifers had the time of their lives with Ronnie and George, but the party's finally over. Morning in America came and went. Now it's the morning after. Ronnie and George have waltzed out of town for good, and it's hard for prolifers to decide what hurts more, the heartache or the hangover.
The much-touted love affair between prolife and Reagan/Bush has actually been a one-way street. Love is often blind, and so, for 12 intoxicating years, prolifers have by and large refused to believe they were being strung along. But maybe now that prolifers are left with little more than dirty ashtrays and empty bottles, they'll get sober and wise up -- and listen.
Consider the evidence. As Governor of California, Ronald Reagan signed one of the most permissive abortions laws in the country (at that time). When running for President in 1980, he said he had changed his mind on abortion (the Gipper as the original abortion flip-flopper), and promised in writing to pick a prolife running mate. But he first offered the job to pro-choice Gerald Ford (who declined). Then he offered it to pro-choice George Bush, who, when campaigning for the GOP presidential nomination in Florida in 1979, had told prolife leader Dr. Bart Hefferman, who had queried him about his views on abortion, "Go f--- yourself!" Charles E. Rice had observed that were Reagan to select Bush, "Reagan would clearly signal to the prolife movement that the [abortion) issue is not that important to him and that he is therefore not to be trusted on it." Reagan did pick Bush, but Rice, like the vast majority of single-issue prolifers, voted for Reagan anyway.
Linda Zumpano asked, "how many more promises does he have to break" before prolifers realize Reagan can't be trusted on abortion? Zumpano, whose clearheadedness was a rarity among prolifers, was supporting Ellen McCormack for President on the Right-to-Life Party ticket.

Care New England Health System ("CNE") agreed to pay $400,000 and enter into a corrective action plan with the HHS Office for Civil Rights to resolve certain HIPAA violations.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted in 2010, mandates that Medicare/Medicaid-certified nursing facilities and skilled nursing facilities have an effective compliance plan in place by March 23, 2013. ACA states that "[by March 23, 2013], a facility shall … have in operation a compliance and ethics program that is effective in preventing and detecting criminal, civil, and administrative violations … and in promoting quality of care." Nursing facilities are the first health care providers required to enact a mandatory compliance plan. For more information, read the client alert in its entirety.
Through last year's enactment of the Affordable Care Act, provisions were added to the Social Security Act that established the Medicare Shared Savings Program ("SSP").

How can I develop a more positive life perspective when I am witnessing the fast progression of my loved one's Alzheimer's disease?
It is so difficult to watch a loved one deteriorate, mentally and physically, especially through the long and arduous journey of Alzheimer's disease. Even more difficult is trying to maintain a positive outlook on life and surrender to total acceptance of this journey.
Perhaps for the coming new year you can make a resolve not only to try to have a more favorable disposition, but also strive to let go of unnecessary expectations you may have placed on yourself or others, or even your loved one.
Spend some time in personal reflection to accept what is happening with your loved one. As you both experience the "hills and valleys" of this disease, learn to appreciate your loved one's capabilities at these stages and do whatever you can to empower him/her to use those capabilities to sustain a quality of life.
It might be helpful for you to keep a daily journal, recording thoughts and feelings and acknowledging them, whether they are ones of anger, sadness, joy or anxiety. The journal is also helpful in "counting your blessings." Expressing gratitude, even in the midst of your darkness, can help ease stresses and put you in a greater frame of mind. Additionally, being grateful can help you focus on the things your loved one is capable of doing now rather than the abilities he/she has lost.
Find some activities mutually enjoyable for both of you and celebrate the time together. Put yourself in your loved one's shoes and you can gain a greater understanding of his/her world, and, in turn, you can find satisfaction when days are particularly difficult.
For the new year, promise to set aside more time for just you; practice meditation and deep breathing, for instance, or enroll in a Pilates or yoga class. Remain engaged with others in your life and stay focused on keeping a positive attitude even on those most challenging days. By spending some time in reflection you can improve your emotional awareness and develop better coping skills and a better overall outlook as a caregiver, which in turn, will produce quality care for your loved one.

"To me, art is an expression of the rapture of being… hopefully unveiling a fragment of the radiance within all form. I believe that art can awaken the soul to the timeless presence of beauty and truth."
Born in Des Moines, Iowa, Arian spent many hours throughout his youth in museums studying the painting techniques of the masters. From the third grade when he was taught to draw in perspective, his first taste of Realism, Arian's artistic passion was awakened and his destiny became apparent.
His formal art education began at Northwest Missouri State in Marysville, Missouri. At age twenty-one Arian made a commitment to live the spiritual life of a monk and for the next eighteen years his artistic endeavors were nurtured by his spiritual order, as he was given abundant opportunities for advanced study and worldwide travel while devoting many hours a day to painting.
After studying at a private academy in Florence, Italy, Arian returned to the U.S. and was offered a full scholarship to the New York Academy of Art, but after meeting master sculptor Angelo Frudakis, he opted to attend the Frudakis Academy of Classic Realism in Philadelphia instead. His studies continued at the Barnstone Studios in Pennsylvania, before becoming the Art Director at the Palace of Gold in Wheeling, West Virginia. Arian was heavily involved in creating the ambiance of the opulent Palace of Gold including large murals for West Virginia's largest tourist attraction, the subject of numerous articles in publications such as the Washington Post and Time Magazine. Upon seeing Arian's two twenty-foot murals that had been commissioned for the Wheeling Civic Center, then Governor Jay Rockefeller remarked that they were, "extraordinary and beautiful… works of art rarely seen in this country today." After his world traveling, Arian felt drawn to Southern California, where he broadened his art education still further by attending the Athenaeum School of Art in La Jolla and the Watts Atelier in San Diego.
As Arian continued to reach out to the world through his art, his work took a new direction resulting in the development of "Figurative Modernism", a sensual, yet spiritual way of expressing the human condition… a fusion of the spiritual and romantic inclinations inherent in mankind. Often featuring sacred geometry and the golden mean, this new direction seeks to reveal visual relationships that have foundations in the essential qualities of life. As Le Corbusier states in Towards A New Architecture, "Man has discovered rhythms…rhythms apparent to the eye and clear in their relations with one another. And these rhythms are at the very root of human activities. They resound in man by an organic inevitability."
Arian's original paintings can be found in the collections of notables throughout the world, including:
- George Harrison
- Michael Jackson
- The former Prince of Iran
- The Prince of Saudi Arabia
- Prominent Industrialists in India
- Loni Anderson
- Tippi Hedron
- Earl Holliman
The paintings of Arian have been exhibited internationally in such cities as:
- New York, New York
- Los Angeles, California
- Chicago, Illinois
- Las Vegas, Nevada
- Miami, Florida
- Reno, Nevada
- Bombay, India
- Saint Augustine, Florida

Discuss Roosevelt Slot Limit Here
The Arizona Game and Fish Commission lifted the slot limit at
Roosevelt Lake starting Aug. 17.
Game and Fish biologists asked the commission to remove the slot
limit at Roosevelt in part because most anglers now practice
catch-and-release, but also because this popular lake in the Tonto
Basin is experiencing tremendous productivity.
Fisheries Chief Kirk Young told the commission that when the slot
limit was initiated in 1990 it typically took anglers around eight
hours to catch one bass, and the vast majority of anglers kept and
ate the fish they caught. The objective of the slot limit was to
increase the catch rates on bass and also increase the average
size of bass, which it accomplished.
The slot worked well. Times have changed.
After two years of intensive studies at Roosevelt, biologists have
determined that the bass population is healthy, reproduction is
good, size classes are well balanced, bass grow-outs are superb
and less than 7 percent of anglers catch and keep bass.
However, the commission acted on the Roosevelt proposal a few
months earlier than the other proposed fishing regulation changes
for 2011 so it could accommodate a request from the town of
Payson, Arizona to lift the slot limit for an upcoming national
bass tournament, the FLW, at Roosevelt Sept. 22-25. Payson hosts
the event.
Young explained that because the department was already planning
to recommend the commission lift the slot starting in January,
dealing with the issue a few months early makes no difference
biologically but socially it would accommodate Payson's request.
Payson Mayor Kenny Evans thanked the commission and the department
for working so cooperatively with the town on this and other
issues. Mayor Evans pointed out that that last year's FLW
tournament was a major economic boon to the Town of Payson, Tonto
Basin and other nearby communities, and the event shows all signs
of being even larger and more fun-filled this year. "Roosevelt is
becoming a world-class bass fishery."

OTA Broadcasting had sold the spectrum of the Providence, R.I., CW affiliate in the FCC's incentive auction.
Nexstar Media Group on Monday agreed to acquire the non-spectrum operating assets of CW affiliate WLWC Providence, R.I. (DMA 52) for $4.1 million from OTA Broadcasting.
Nexstar said the transaction will be highly accretive to its operating results immediately upon closing, which is expected by early fourth quarter of 2017. Nexstar intends to finance the station acquisition with cash from operations.
OTA sold the WLWC spectrum in the FCC's incentive auction and given that Nexstar's agreement with OTA pertains to the purchase of the station's remaining operating assets, the proposed transaction is not subject to FCC approval. The CW affiliation complements the existing programming and services delivered to viewers and advertisers in Providence by stations and digital platforms owned by Nexstar, or with whom Nexstar has a local service agreement, including WPRI (CBS), WNAC (Fox), MyNetworkTV and WPRI.com.
Commenting on the agreement, Tim Busch, president of Nexstar Broadcasting, said: "The WLWC-TV transaction reflects the ongoing execution of Nexstar's successful long-term growth strategy to opportunistically expand our broadcast and digital platform through highly accretive acquisitions. The addition of the assets from WLWC-TV will allow Nexstar to generate incremental advertising and net retransmission consent revenue growth without increasing our total U.S. television household reach. The acquisition is leverage-neutral on a pro-forma basis, and the purchase price represents a very low multiple of the pro forma contribution to Nexstar's operating results, given the anticipated operating synergies and elevated advertising and distribution revenues.
"Importantly, as our organization grows, we continue to simultaneously elevate our support of the evolving needs and interests of our local viewers, hometown businesses and community organizations that we proudly serve each day. We intend to continue WLWC-TV's legacy of local programming and community orientation and look forward to delivering more exceptional primetime, syndicated, sports and local news programming to Providence viewers later this year."
William Tolpegin, CEO of OTA Broadcasting said: "We want to thank the employees of WLWC for their fantastic work at OTA, and we are thrilled they will be re-joining the Nexstar team. As an industry leader, Nexstar has consistently delivered strong local programming to the local communities it serves across the United States and we are confident that WLWC will continue to offer viewers in Providence great programming under Nexstar's management."
