What is an Urgent Care Center?
Urgent Care Centers provide treatment for the non-life threatening illnesses and injuries that occur on a day-to-day basis. They are equipped to serve the entire family including children and can handle a variety of conditions ranging from sinusitis and pneumonia to lacerations and fractures. Generally, most urgent care centers are open seven days a week with hours extending into the evening. Additionally, patients seeking medical attention or advice should not have to make appointments at Urgent Care Centers.
Difference between Urgent Care Center and Emergency Room?
There are several main differences between Urgent Care Centers and the Emergency Room. Emergency rooms are staffed 24 hours a day and are designed to treat patients suffering from life threatening injuries or serious illnesses. In contrast, Urgent Care Center are designed to lighten the load on local emergency rooms by treating non-life threatening injuries (lacerations, mild fractures, etc.) and illnesses (earaches, influenza, rashes, etc.) in a patient-friendly environment.
Timings of Urgent Care Center?
Urgent care centers are usually great options for seeing a physician, particularly after traditional office hours, on weekends or even holidays. In fact, 85% of urgent care centers are open 7 days a week. Common hours of operation are 8:00 am to 8:00 pm daily.
Cost of Urgent Care Center?
For injuries and illnesses that are urgent but not life-threatening, it is more efficient to use urgent care than an emergency department in terms of both money and time. The typical wait time to be seen at an urgent care center is less than 30 minutes. Reimbursement by insurance companies for urgent care centers is comparable to general/family practice reimbursement ($101-$103), which is well below the average contribution for emergency department visits ($560).
What is a NPI Number? :
The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a unique identification number for covered health care providers. The NPI is a 10-position, intelligence-free numeric identifier (10-digit number). This means that the numbers do not carry other information about healthcare providers, such as the state in which they live or their medical specialty. The NPI must be used in lieu of legacy provider identifiers in the HIPAA standards transactions. Covered health care providers and all health plans and health care clearinghouses must use the NPIs in the administrative and financial transactions adopted under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
Where NPI should be used? :
The NPI must be used in place of legacy provider identifiers, such as a Unique Provider Identification Number (UPIN), Online Survey Certification & Reporting (OSCAR) and National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) in HIPAA standard transactions. There are two categories of health care providers for NPI enumeration purposes. Entity Type 1 providers are individual providers who render health care (e.g., physicians, dentists, nurses). Sole proprietors and sole proprietorships are Entity Type 1 (Individual) providers. Organization health care providers (e.g., hospitals, home health agencies, ambulance companies) are considered Entity Type 2 (Organization) providers.
Who must obtain NPI? :
All health care providers who are HIPAA-covered entities, whether they are individuals (e.g., physicians, nurses, dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists, or pharmacists) or organizations (e.g., hospitals, home health agencies, clinics, nursing homes, residential treatment centers, laboratories, ambulance companies, group practices, Health Maintenance Organizations [HMOs], suppliers of durable medical equipment, pharmacies) must obtain an NPI. The NPI will be used by HIPAA-covered entities (e.g., health plans, health care clearinghouses, and certain health care providers) to identify health care providers in HIPAA standard transactions. A covered health care provider, under HIPAA, is any health care provider who transmits health information in electronic form in connection with a transaction for which the Secretary of Health and Human Services has adopted a standard, even if the health care provider uses a business associate to do so.

The high-definition 2D fighting game now comes to the Playstation Portable. BlazBlue is a 2D one-on-one fighting game by ARC System Works (the makers of Guilty Gear.) Produced by Guilty Gear producer Toshimichi Mori, the game features an all-original cast (including many weapon fighters) and uses a four-button control scheme (weak, medium and strong attacks plus an EX button which makes your character perform unique special attacks.) The fighting system is based around players being able to continue combos when opponents are in a down state. On the defensive side, you'll have a number of ways of getting back up when downed, so you don't get pummeled by combo attacks.

The Rumors are True: Heinz Ketchup Leads to Big Surprises
If you're going to run a UGC campaign, you're inevitably going to get some entries that just aren't after your best interest.
We thought this entry for Heinz was awesome, mainly because it poked fun at the whole UGC idea, and also because it reminded us of when we were kids and thought everything had "that secret ingredient" (or a "secret ingredient" pesticide) in it - from Cheetos to Mountain Dew.
KetchupFriends, which created the entry, actually put together a whole series of equally subversive oeuvres for Heinz. This one's creepy as hell but you get the idea.
We're wondering if the "friends" behind the ketchup are actually enlisted by the brand in some way. If so, that's a risky positioning move that maybe wants rewarding.
We'll keep mum about your dark side, Heinz. Don't worry.

The Meselson-Stahl Experiment (1957–1958), by Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl
In an experiment later named for them, Matthew Stanley Meselson and Franklin William Stahl in the US demonstrated during the 1950s the semi-conservative replication of DNA, such that each daughter DNA molecule contains one new daughter subunit and one subunit conserved from the parental DNA molecule. The researchers conducted the experiment at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, California, from October 1957 to January 1958.

Too Hot to Blog
And how is the garden taking this heat and drought? Well, some of it is okay, and some is struggling.
Here's what I worry about:
1) The potted plants. Most of them are in unglazed terra cotta pots, which can get pretty hot and thus potentially harm the roots. So I water them every morning. I'm not worried about over watering since I think this heat is sucking the moisture right out.
Can you see the grasshopper to the side of this sun wilted chard? If not, here's a bigger view:
They're called "graveyard grasshoppers" around here and are another thing I'm worried about. Right now they're about 2.5 inches long but they'll get bigger than that. They can defoliate a plant in pretty quick time. Fortunately they also move slowly and are easy to squish (which can be rather gross).
2) I'm worried about some of the plants in the back beds, which are competing with all the tree roots. The plants that are wilting daily are my two hydrangeas, Turk's Cap, and the 'Goldsturm' rudbeckia. I could try watering them every day but then I risk shallow roots and/or root rot. So I check the mulch to make sure it's adequate and water them about 4 times a week. And I've also learned to put up with the wilting (I'm actually not too worried about the Turk's Cap since I know they tend to do this; but they're still less than a year old so still vulnerable).
3) I'm worried about some of the new plants in the raised beds. For example, my Poblano pepper, which struggled somewhat when I first planted it, wilts everyday. I think that means its root system was somewhat compromised from the day I planted it. Given where I got it, that wouldn't surprise me. I'm watering the raised beds about 4 times a week.
What I'm not worried about:
1) My salvias. What tough plants.
2) My herbs. Some of the easiest plants to grow are herbs. Just give them sun and well drained soil. But they won't survive without the occasional watering!
3) My lawn. How could I not worry about my lawn? Well because lawns are highly overrated! Make no mistake, I am watering it. But I'd really rather be watering a flower or ornamental grass than a lawn. Someday I will have less lawn...
The heat and lack of rain have caused the bees to return to my main bird bath. I blogged about that last year but since no one was reading my blogs back then, I never found out why this happens. It's confounding. And somewhat amusing to see the birds snapping their beaks at the bees. At least some of the birds. Other birds seem to be chased away by them. I now have a second bird bath but only the cardinals seem to frequent that one. Maybe more bird baths should be placed around the yard.
Has anyone else had this problem at their bird baths and if so, how did you solve it?
22 comments:
Hi, Jean. I got kind of thirsty looking at your pictures and reading about how hot it is down your way. It has been in the low 90's here in Indianapolis this week, which is hot for us for June, but rainfail is above average and temps are supposed to return to "normal" next week which is mid 80's, so I'm not too concerned.ReplyDelete
I have no idea why the bees congregate around your bird bath like that. Is there something sweet in the water?
Jean, somehow you're able to make a post about temps in the 100's, wilted plants, giant crickets and bird bath bees a pleasure to read. Really, if the temperature here reached 100 plus, I'd be frightened. Take care.ReplyDelete
I Googled it (bees, birdbaths). eHow said that bees and wasps cool down by drinking the water and letting it evaporate off their body. They suggested that providing an alternate water source "such as a bee bath or pond" that is "more appealing". Just how you decide what's more appealing to bees is not addressed!ReplyDelete
Well, Jean, it's been over 102F all week here too, and I think it makes everyone feel sluggish and somewhat grumpy. A cold moved in last night (finally) and dumped some rain and cooler temps (90F). I'll send it on down to LA. Here are my thoughts on the bees. I've had that happen too when the weather was really hot. I think the bees are thirsty, and they also seem to like the salts from the water's edge. You're helping all of the creatures and maybe need even more birdbaths, but then, you would have to fill them, and it's too hot. :) ~~DeeReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 28, 2009 at 10:22 AM
We have had bees at our birdbath. I can stand there and watch them and they will fly around me to get to the water. I think we wouldn't see this if it wasn't so hot and dry.ReplyDelete
I'm glad you posted about the bees in the birdbath. They are all OVER mine, making it a tricky business to spray out the old water and add new. I just figured they were thirsty like everything else right now.ReplyDelete
I've lost a few plants due to the drought and heat in the new garden. The old garden (yes, I'm still taking care of it) is suffering too. We really need rain.
Yeesh! We've never seen triple-digit weather up here. I think that would be a sign of the apocalypse.ReplyDelete
I'd love to send all the rain we've gotten today down your way.
Bee baths sound uncomfortable.
Jean, I will stop complaining now about our heat:) Actually, it finally cooled down here yesterday to a comfortable low 80's. But last week was in the 90's, and I was too hot to get motivated to do anything. I need to get busy this week and make up for lost time in the garden. No rain, though, and my plants are wilting like yours. I see you got some answers to your bee in the birdbath question; it makes sense that they were hot and thirsty just like everybody else!ReplyDelete
I don't think one can be a gardener and not worry about *some*thing in the garden... but as you know, there are also positive things too. I'm dealing with a lot of both at the mo' as well!ReplyDelete
Thanks for everyone's theories on the bees and your sympathy on the heat! I do think it's a matter of heat and drought that have the bees flocking to the birdbath. So I've put out more saucers of water. We'll see if that helps. Cool front today so it's only going to get to 95! No rain though. I'd rather have that.ReplyDelete
Hi Jean, I hope you get a little better relief than high of 95 soon, and I hope a good rain comes your way soon. I feel for you. Anything beyond 90 is oppressive to me.ReplyDelete
We had mid '90's last week, and that was bad enough. (Even worse, our a/c went out, so we were sweltering. Thankfully it' fixed.) This week it's much cooler here.
Hope the birds and bees are getting along and sharing the water you're providing!
Your poor garden! It looks so hot and dry. I hope you get some relief from the heat soon. I am in s. IL and we finally have 80s this week instead of 100+. What a pleasant change! ~~RhondaReplyDelete
Pretty photography!ReplyDelete
Sorry about the heat and drought Jean! Love the honey bees drinking! Hope things cool down for you soon... would love to send some of our rain to you. Thanks for the kind words on my blog.ReplyDelete
I am so sorry that the weather has been so horrid! When is the Gulf going to send us a nice tropical storm...rain, no damaging winds, please!! The heat had been oppressive here...then the humidity disappeared...It is now tolerable for humans...but the container plants still need to be watered daily! Yikes it's a rough summer. gailReplyDelete
Some of the plants you mention wilt in the sun whether they have enough water or not--rudbeckia and hydrangea do anyway, as far as I know. They'll be fine. They love to pout!ReplyDelete
I had no idea bees used bird baths. Fascinating! I know how you feel watching things struggling with the heat and dryness, and we had only one week of the brutal heat with rain. I've gotten rid of all my terracotta pots and now use only fibreglass containers. The ones that look like glazed ceramic are very attractive, and they hold the moisture in pretty well so that they need to be watered only once a day in temperatures over 90.ReplyDelete
I will send you some rain. There is nothing sadder than wilting plants is there? I hope you are coming this way soon.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 4, 2009 at 8:47 PM
I've never heard of bees in birdbaths either, and don't have that problem with mine. I'll occasionally see wasps at mine, but I know they need it to make their mud nests. Perhaps bees are the same way?ReplyDelete
Bees need water just like we do. They also use it to dilute honey that is too thick as well as regulate the temperature in their hive. With it being so hot lately, they will need more water than normal.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the info Karl!ReplyDelete
My pond has been loaded with bees lately. Especially in the evening. They do seem to be very thirsty. It is supposed to be 116 degrees this weekend here in the Phoenix area. I think we will all be very thirsty!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for visiting! I truly appreciate your visit and comments. If you ask me a question in your comment, I will answer it here.

Bucks snap 9-game skid, beat Pistons 104-101
MILWAUKEE -- Caron Butler scored 30 points two days after major dental work and the Milwaukee Bucks rallied from 13 points down in the third quarter for a 104-101 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.
"I don't have that much energy," Butler said with a smile. "I'm going to go home, go to sleep. Just relax."
A well-deserved break after shooting 12 of 21 and leading the charge by the Bucks' bench in the fourth quarter.
All on his bobblehead night, too. Butler was questionable for the game because he was still getting over his trip to the dentist.
"I wasn't feeling good yesterday, feeling extremely weak," he said. Coach Larry Drew "believed in me tonight and gave me an opportunity. That's why it was even more special."
Brandon Knight added 16 points against the team that traded him in the offseason, while backup center Miroslav Raduljica added eight points and eight rebounds. He was part of the reserve corps -- with Khris Middleton (10 points) and Luke Ridnour (eight points) -- that helped close the gap.
The Bucks trailed 76-63 in the third quarter, largely due to Brandon Jennings, who finished with 30 points for Detroit.
But Butler provided a boost with his jumper in the fourth and the Bucks held on late.
Josh Smith missed two foul shots with about 5 seconds left and Rodney Stuckey missed a desperation 3 at the buzzer.
"It's important we keep the attitude and intensity. I think we got a little comfortable, but we can't let that happen," Jennings said. "No matter what their record is, that's an NBA team over there.
At 8-33, the Bucks have the worst record in the NBA, but received a sorely needed confidence boost at the midpoint of the season.
"I told our guys after the game, it's nice to get off that losing streak. Let's enjoy the moment, remember what this feels like tomorrow," Drew said. "By no stretch of the imagination is losing fun."
Knight, who was traded for Jennings, also had nine assists and six rebounds, while Ersan Ilyasova added 12 points.
Greg Monroe added 18 points for Detroit and Stuckey finished 23.
The last few minutes found Jennings and Knight guarding each other on the perimeter.
Jennings blocked Knight with about 7 seconds left, but Smith missed the two foul shots at the other end.
The Pistons had one last chance after a contested possession was ruled in favor of Detroit. Stuckey's 3-point attempt from the corner sailed harmlessly into the side of the glass.
"We made a few bad decisions on both ends of the floor, but I gave up a lot of offensive rebounds so I have to slap myself on the wrist for that," said center Andre Drummond, who finished with 11 points and 12 rebounds.
A game after going scoreless against the Clippers, Jennings shot 11 of 23 against the team that drafted him in the first round in 2009. Facing off against Knight at one point in the third quarter, Jennings hit a deep 3 to give Detroit a 76-63 lead, then turned to the crowd and pointed his index finger to his forehead.
The Bucks started chipping away. With the shot clock winding down at the end of the third quarter, Butler hit a long 3 to get Milwaukee within 84-81.
"That was definitely a momentum-changer. If we get that rebound and secure that ball, we go into the fourth up seven or eight points," Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks said.
Just another highlight from a memorable game for Butler. His play off the bench was especially important given the Bucks were without starting center Larry Sanders and veteran guard O.J. Mayo due to illness.
As for Butler's bobblehead doll, the likeness was close enough.
"It looks like my cousin," he said, "but it'll do, we are related."
NOTES: The Pistons, the NBA's top offensive rebounding team coming into the night at 14.4 per game, were outrebounded on the offensive glass, 12-9 ... Milwaukee G Luke Ridnour wore a sleeve around the right wrist he sprained on Saturday against the Spurs. ... Milwaukee used its 19th different starting lineup in its 41st game this season.

1982 - Let the Game Begin!
7 comments:
What was so marvelous about this was that it was so novel at the time -- in 1982 you just didn't see these guys getting together every five minutes like you do today. The "international heroes" they came up with for it, cheesy as they were, gave it a nice sensation of a real event.ReplyDelete
It is a bit old , but Daredevil met Iron Fist during Miller s tun on the title , thaty was before this mini-series came out, i think.ReplyDelete
Hey Patricio, you are correct. Jan 1982 - Daredevil #178 co-starring Power Man and Iron Fist whereas Contest of Champions #1 was in Aug 1982.ReplyDelete
I have mixed feelings about Contest of Champions. It held up better when I was younger and even say, 10 years ago. I recently read it this year, and the international heroes are just too cliched for my tastes.ReplyDelete
I like the cosmic angle w/Death + Grandmaster and was glad it was picked up in the Avengers/West Coast Avengers annuals later on.
Loved those Avengers/West Coast Avengers Annual crossover!ReplyDelete

Anybody miss the HUGE mistake in this story. Shamrock gets the final puzzle piece and the win goes to The Grandmaster. Shamrock was on the Unknown's team.ReplyDelete
Supposedly, 'Contest of Champions' was what Marvel came up with to salvage an unpublished tabloid, 'Marvel Super Heroes' at the Summer Olympics', which, of course, was a casualty of the USA's boycott of the 1980 games in Moscow. It looks like the plot was basically the same, just re-written to remove any references to the Olympics. Spider-Man and Hulk had already appeared in a Winter Olympics tie-in, so I guess they weren't planned to appear in the 'Summer' title, anyway.ReplyDelete

Trouser Worm Tying Video

I wish the ingredient list lasted a couple seconds longer. Other than that it was to my mind wonderful. Why do you not follow the Amensia Mono to the eye, as much as has a glowing tendency? Also, have you ever had the fur of the rabbit riding dorsally?
Gregg, Running the amnesia between the eye and the bead just doesn't seem to come out clean. You end up covering most of it with thread locking it down anyways. I have never tried flipping the fur so that it faces the shank. Just how I tied the first one, habit I guess, I will give it a shot. I will make the ingredients longer next time, thanks for the feedback.Delete
Excellent tutorial! I'm hoping to tie up a few of those for my carp box and that helps a lot.ReplyDelete
I see now that the mistake I made when I tied a few up was the bead chain eyes were tied right up against the bead so they didn't "head stand" right. Good stuff McT!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Mas. They would probably still catch fish that way but wouldn't quite swim or drop the same for sure.Delete

yeah, good video. I enjoyed it. good idea with the amnesia, i'll be glad to get some of that used up.ReplyDeleteReplies
I am sure many of us have sold our soul to first name chuck last name duck at some point in our sordid past. Might as well use all those leftovers.Delete
Thanks for the bathtub shots also . . . nice touch to see how it should swim for a novice carpie . . .ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Rex. You can't really understand what a pattern is or is not until you dunk it.Delete
Hey now...I still have a spare spool ready to go lined up with 15 lb red amnesia! I may be able to sacrifice a a couple feet of it for a few flies though...ReplyDeleteReplies
Is your spiritual advisor aware of your transgression? Not saying I wouldn't have a spare spool of my own if I still lived in MI mind you.Delete
Not much of a carpie, but I'm seeing Smallmouth/bonefish/permit written all over this pattern--just a color change. Great to see the finished underwater portion. Rather than amnesia, could you use d-rib vinyl? Great instructional.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have only caught a couple of smallies on it to date, but I have always had the same feeling. A dark orange or brown perhaps for smallies. Not qualified for bonefish / permit.Delete

Santa Rosa police this coming week will monitor one of the city's most collision-prone intersections — Cleveland Avenue at West Steele Lane, which last year was tied for third with 10 collisions.
As part of a weekly, Monday through Friday, special enforcement program, Officer Jeff Adams says officers particularly will be looking for drivers not wearing seat belts, who are illegally using cellphones, are speeding, running red lights or committing lane violations.
Each week, the officers pick one of the city's top 25 collision-troubled intersections to monitor.

Gov. John Hickenlooper on May 28 signed several pieces of marijuana-related legislation into law, including those having to do with the regulation and proposed taxation of retail pot sales, which will soon become legal under Amendment 64.
The governor said at a Capitol bill-signing event that Colorado is "chartering new territory" when it comes to putting in place a regulatory model on a newly created industry that voters approved in November.
"The voters passed Amendment 64 by a clear majority," said Hickenlooper, who opposed last fall's ballot measure, which legalized recreational marijuana use and retail pot sales in the state. "That's why we're going to implement it as effectively as we possibly can."
Among the bills signed by the governor was House Bill 1317, which puts in place the regulatory framework retail pot shops must obey, when they are allowed to begin operations on Jan. 1.
In-state residents who are 21 and older will be able to purchase up to an ounce of marijuana at retail stores, per transaction, while out-of-state visitors are limited to a quarter of an ounce.
Colorado residents can also grow their own pot and possess up to six marijuana plants.
Existing medical marijuana dispensaries will have a nine-month head start on other businesses looking to enter into the retail pot arena.
Pot shops — which will not be able to sell food or drinks that do not contain marijuana — must sell the drug in child-resistant packages that denote potency.
The state Department of Revenue will regulate the retail pot industry.
"When you are in uncharted territory, you need a North Star," said Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, a House Bill 1317 sponsor. "And the North Star we used was public safety and making sure we kept marijuana out of the hands of kids, cartels and criminals."
The regulatory bill is also aimed at trying to appease the federal government, which has yet to respond to the pot legislation in Colorado. Marijuana use and sales are illegal under federal law.
Hickenlooper said he expects the feds will be "more specific" in how they respond to states like Colorado and Washington, where voters also recently approved recreational pot use, "relatively soon."
Hickenlooper also signed House Bill 1318, which calls for the drug to be taxed at a 15 percent excise tax rate, and a 10 percent retail tax rate. That's in addition to other state and local taxes.
Funds generated from the excise tax will go toward school construction.
Voters must approve the new taxes in November. Hickenlooper and other bill sponsors called on voters to support the tax measures, or run the risk of marijuana regulatory money being taken out of the state's general fund.
"This is a plea to the people of Colorado to pass these taxes in the fall," Pabon said.
Also becoming law on May 29 was House Bill 1325, which sets a standard by which it is illegal to get behind the wheel while under the influence of marijuana.
The bill limits drivers to five nanograms per millileter of blood for active THC, marijuana's psychoactive ingredient. House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, joked that his multiple attempts at trying to pass a driving-stoned standard in the last few years have set a "modern Major League record." However, he's pleased that his efforts have finally become a realization.
"At the end of the day, this is probably the most important public safety legislation that has been signed into law this year," Waller said.

State Veterinarian Dr. Tony Frazier in consultation with Commissioner John McMillan today has issued a stop movement order for certain poultry in Alabama. "The health of poultry is critically important at this time," said Dr. Frazier. "With three investigations of avian influenza in north Alabama on three separate premises we feel that the stop movement order is the most effective way to implement biosecurity for all poultry in our state."
The first two investigations were on two separate premises in north Alabama. One flock of chickens at a commercial breeder operation located in Lauderdale County, Ala. was found to be suspect for avian influenza. No significant mortality in the flock was reported. The other premise was a backyard flock in Madison County, Ala. Samples from both premises have been sent to the USDA National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, Iowa and are being tested to determine presence of the virus.
The most recent investigation began following routine surveillance while executing Alabama's HPAI Preparedness and Response Plan. USDA poultry technicians collected samples at the TaCo-Bet Trade Day flea market in Scottsboro located in Jackson County, Ala. on Sunday, March 12. Samples collected were suspect and those samples are on the way to the USDA Lab in Ames, Iowa.
Dr. Frazier reminds poultry owners to be vigilant about biosecurity. It is the department's responsibility to protect backyard flock, exhibition, show and commercial poultry and stopping the movement of certain poultry is the most effective way to do so.
USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is working closely with the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries (ADAI) on a joint incident response. The U.S. has the strongest AI surveillance program in the world and USDA is working with its partners to actively look for the disease in commercial poultry operations, backyard birds, live bird markets and in migratory waterfowl populations.
This suspected strain of avian influenza does not pose a risk to the food supply. No affected poultry entered the food chain. The risk of human infection with avian influenza during poultry outbreaks is very low.
"Following the 2015 avian influenza outbreak in the Midwest, planning, preparation, and extensive biosecurity efforts were escalated in Alabama. Industry, growers, state and federal agencies and other stakeholders have worked hard to maintain a level of readiness," said Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries John McMillan. "Our staff is committed to staying actively involved in the avian influenza situation until any threats are addressed."
Dr. Frazier has been working closely with USDA and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture this past week. He encourages commercial poultry producers and backyard flock owners to observe their birds closely and continue to practice strict biosecurity measures. These include:
• Isolating poultry from other animals
• Wearing clothing designated for use only at the poultry house
• Minimizing access to people and unsanitized equipment
• Keeping the area around the poultry buildings clean and uninviting to wild birds and animals
• Sanitizing the facility between flocks
• Cleaning equipment entering and leaving the farm
• Having an all in, all out policy regarding the placement and removal of the poultry
• Properly disposing of bedding material and mortalities
• Avoiding contact with migratory waterfowl
Frazier reminds all poultry owners and producers to strictly adhere to the biosecurity guidelines mentioned above. During this time, backyard flock owners should refrain from moving birds offsite or introducing new birds. The ADAI Poultry Division is available to answer any questions concerning movement of poultry and should be notified at 334-240-6584 and/or USDA at 1-866-536-7593 if birds show unusual signs of disease (flu-like symptoms) or flocks experiences unexplained mortalities.

The B.C. Court of Appeal has suspended a lower court ruling that would force B.C.'s school districts to reorganize around teacher contract terms that were scrapped by the government in 2002.
Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the latest turn in the long-running legal battle with the B.C. Teachers' Federation allows stability for parents and students while negotiations continue on class size, special needs support and other issues.
The decision provides a "stable environment" for the 60 school districts to prepare for next September under existing arrangements, he said.
"We need to now get back to the table and see if we can find that sweet spot between both parties where we have a negotiated settlement," Fassbender said.
Those negotiations, to replace an imposed contract that expired last June, are scheduled to continue next week as BCTF members take a strike vote.
The appeal court decision, released Wednesday, allows the government to pursue its appeal of a January ruling that it argued would cause major disruption to schools, which will likely take several months.
In January, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin found for a second time that B.C. legislation imposing contract terms violated teachers' right to collective bargaining.
In his decision, Justice David Harris agreed with submissions from district superintendents around the province.
"The evidence demonstrates that the immediate reinsertion of the deleted terms into the collective agreement will probably lead to a dislocation of current planning and budgeting or the next school year, immense challenges in hiring sufficient suitably qualified staff, lay-offs of employees, change to available school programs, cancelling school programs, creating more classes, moving students to other schools, disrupting programs for special needs students, the provision of additional classroom space (likely through the addition of portables where space permits), and the breaking of contracts with community groups who use school space for their activities as school districts reclaim the needed space to accommodate additional classes," Harris wrote.
BCTF lawyers had argued that the 2002 rules could have been reinstated in time for the September 2014 school year. Harris said it would be unlikely the appeal of constitutional arguments would be complete by then, and if it is successful, the school system would have to be made over again.

Tubeless-ready rims are compatible with both standard and tubeless-ready tires. When a tubeless-ready tire is mounted on a tubeless-ready rim with special tubeless rim tape, valve, and sealant, the tire and rim form an airtight chamber that no longer requires a tube. This lets you run lower tire pressure with less fear of pinch flats and without the added weight of a tube. Lower tire pressure has many benefits, including greater traction and lower rolling resistance over rough surfaces. The rim can always be used with a tube, as well, by simply removing the tubeless valve stem and installing a standard tube like you would with any non-tubeless tire.

A new report from Michael Stelzner and his team at Social Media Examiner reveals that social media adoption by marketers is growing steadily, but that we still have room to do more and have plenty of questions when it comes to measuring effectiveness. The 2012 Social Media Marketing Report found that and much more after surveying over 3,800 marketers from both the B2B and B2C worlds and from companies of all sizes. You can find the full report here, but I'll share my key takeaways.
1) Nearly everyone has integrated social media into their marketing mix, but its perceived importance to their business overall is declining slightly.
While 94% of respondents are using social media to market their business, just 83% of them defined it as important for their business. When the same question was asked in 2011, that number was 90% (with 62% strongly agreeing). It may be surprising to see this slight decline, but I think we are probably looking at a natural progression as social media matures. In the olden days of social media (you know, the last few years), marketers were still getting comfortable with the medium. As the new kid on the block, social still had its shine and marketers were excited just to be using it. As we get more sophisticated about social though, it's only natural that marketers might be getting more skeptical. In other words, the more knowledge you have about something, the easier it is to find its flaws. To be clear, this is a good sign. We can't expect a medium to grow if we're not asking the right questions about how to do so. My prediction is that as we get better at measuring results (see takeaway #2), we'll see sentiment towards social media move back in a positive direction.
2) The top questions marketers have about social media point to a need for better results.
The number one question respondents had about social media (for three years running, no less) is how to measure the efficacy of their social media efforts. As discussed in the above point, marketers have moved beyond the learning stages of social media and are ready to start applying the same level of business accountability that we do other marketing programs. The second most asked question, how to best reach your target audience, points to the same growing pains. We've moved beyond just trying to get likes and shares. Instead, we're ready to start making sure that our social audiences represent real business value. To do this, we must be sure that our efforts are focused on connecting with potential customers, not just on increasing audience size.
3) Experience with social media has a direct relationship with achieving revenue-generating objectives.
The correlation between a marketer's experience using social media and the results they are able to generate is undeniable based on the report's findings. Encouragingly, marketers across the board included improved sales (40%) and lead generation (58%) as benefits they derive from social media marketing. What I find most striking, though, is that both of these figures jump roughly 20% when looking at marketers with three or more years of social media experience. In fact, as illustrated in these two charts, there is a steady growth in the ability to drive revenue-generating results as a marketer's experience with social media increases. What does this mean for you? Well, aside from reinforcing the fact that we are all learning more about how to be successful with social media as it matures, I would also suggest that you think twice about skimping when it comes to hiring the best person to handle your social media efforts. While that summer intern or new grad you're bringing in may spend all of their waking hours posting LOLs and OMGs to their Facebook walls, they might not be the best person to manage your business' social media if measurable results are a priority (hint: they should be). Business experience and judgement is important when looking for leaders in any part of your company; why would you treat social media any differently?
4) Worry not, there's still plenty more to do.
Despite the medium's maturation, social media marketing efforts still have plenty of room to grow. When asked how they will change their social media activities moving forward, a majority of respondents said they'll be increasing their use of YouTube/video (76%), Facebook (72%), Twitter (69%), blogs (68%), Google+ (67%), and LinkedIn (66%). This is an encouraging sign for all of these platforms, but I particularly find interesting the number two position of Facebook. For a company that is consistently described by the tech blogosphere as uncool, peaked, or past its prime – some going as far as to describe it as experiencing a midlife crisis – there sure is a lot of interest in doing more with it. In fact, when asked what social media tools they wanted to learn more about, respondents had Facebook coming in at a close third behind the relatively new Google+ and the time-intensive medium of blogging.
Yes, not only do marketers want to increase their use of Facebook, but they also admit they have more to learn about it. To be honest, these results are refreshing. I think many in this industry have a tendency to get caught up in the hype of what's fresh and new (see Pinterest and Google+ as recent examples). Don't get me wrong, I think it's vital to stay ahead of the curve on these things. I was an early advocate of Google+ (a position I still maintain) and I am actively using Pinterest for VerticalResponse. That said, though, it's important to note that these pursuits shouldn't occur at the detriment of your other efforts. For every company that makes the list of Top 20 Best Brand Timelines on Facebook, there are thousands more that are still getting the hang of it all. For these as much as all of us, Facebook is as relevant as ever, and these results help to confirm that.
Ultimately, I find these results promising. We are past the stage of questioning whether social media is a fad, and have moved on to the more productive discussion of what direction it is going to take and how best to measure its success. That's a good thing for social media marketers like me, and that's a good thing for business.

Kelly Farley dreamed of being a dad. But after his dreams of fatherhood ended in two agonizing pregnancy losses, he buried his grief deep down and tried to be strong for his wife.
That worked — until it all came crashing down.
"I found myself not being able to get out of bed," Farley says, his voice deep and scratchy over the phone. "I kind of went into a tailspin. I was not able to run from it anymore."
Since then, for more than 10 years, Farley has dedicated himself to letting other dads know that it's OK to grieve. In fact, it just might save your life.
"I thought I needed to be a pillar of strength, to help my wife. 'Don't cry, that's a sign of weakness.' You're taught that as a kid and you believe it," Farley said. "The loss of a child is the most profound thing. People will say, 'How's your wife doing?' No one asks your wife how you are doing."
"It can eat you alive," he added. Farley created a website called GrievingDads.com, where he's created a safe space for men to pour out their hearts and get support. He also wrote a book, "Grieving Dads: To the Brink and Back."
What brought Farley back from the brink was a casual remark from a lay leader at his church. Farley spoke to the man about his grief after losing both his son and his daughter in pregnancy, and the man replied, "That's a heavy load, brother."
Those five words meant the world to Farley. It was the first time someone he really respected acknowledged his pain and loss, and indicated to him that it was OK to mourn. As Farley notes, men often feel like they need permission to show emotion and vulnerability.
"I know that sounds so simple, but for me it was confirmation that it was OK for a guy to tell another guy about the pain he was feeling," Farley said. He started going to support groups. He started talking about his pain. And only then did he start to feel better.
"I made a commitment to myself that I was going to do something to help other guys," Farley said. He publishes his personal phone number on his website, and he still gets calls in the middle of the night from anguished fathers — sometimes, he can only hear sobs on the other end of the line. He tells them it's OK to cry.
"I don't say things like, 'Things will get better,'" Farley said. "I say, 'Things CAN get better.'"
Farley notes that there's not much difference in the way moms and dads feel when they lose a child — for any parent, the grief is a black hole. But there's a big difference in the way men and women are expected to handle that emotion. "We're taught to be the protectors of the family. So you feel, 'I let them down.' There's this shame and guilt."
Father's Day is hard, just like any significant anniversary or holiday. For Farley, who has no surviving children, seeing happy posts from friends on social media can hurt. It's a challenging day, and he just tries to get through it.
Yet, over time and through his work to help other fathers, Farley has seen a glimmer of hope. Ten years ago, he says, he might have felt only pain on Father's Day. But now when he thinks of his children — daughter Katie and son Noah — it also brings him joy, along with the pain.
"The darkness is so profound. Everything I do every single day is to make sure my children are proud of me," Farley said. "Now, when I think of them, I smile."

Ampoules are small glass or plastic containers that are used typically used for storing liquid chemicals and pharmaceuticals. They enable protection from air or contamination and are usually filled with non-reactive or inert gasses to avoid spill while opening.
Glass is the commonly used material for the manufacturing of ampoules, owing to its high transparency and ability to withstand elevated temperatures. Moreover, plastic consists of electrostatic charges that may attract or react with the contained liquid, thereby declining its preference.
The introduction of stringent government regulations and industry standards for pharmaceutical packaging is working in favor of the global ampoules market. Strict regulations and standards are compelling manufacturers to upgrade their packaging practices so that there is no compromise in terms of quality and efficacy of drugs. The swelling demand for safer transportation of reactive liquids is also providing a fillip to the global market. Moreover, the rising usage of ampoules in the food and beverage sector is stoking the growth of the market.
Click here to request a sample copy of the Report
However, the growing concerns regarding the dumping of ampoules are hampering the growth of the global market. Plastics and glasses do not decompose easily and thus, have adverse effects on the environment. Nevertheless, the increasing adoption of sustainable materials such as green plastics or biodegradable plastics for manufacturing of ampoules is likely to augur well for the growth of the market. Furthermore, the rising focus of market players towards technological innovations and product extensions is estimated to provide a significant boost to the growth of the global ampoules market.
Ampoules Market: Overview
Ampoules are the most widely used common packaging solutions globally. They are small sealed vials used to preserve samples in both liquid and solid forms. Ampoules are generally made of glass, but with the help of advanced technologies, ampoules are also manufactured using plastics. Ampoules are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, owing to their beneficial characteristics. The packaging of the vial is 100% tamper-proof. Recently manufactured ampoules are most commonly used to store pharmaceutical products or samples and chemicals that are supposed to be protected from contaminants and air. The hermetically potted glass ampoule that was initially used to preserve sterilized solutions was introduced by a French pharmacist in the late 1890s.
Ampoules Market: Inclusive Insight
Ampoules are produced by an industrial process, which includes short lengths of glass tubing, and are given shape by heating with the help of gas torches along with gravity in automated production lines. In order to check for quality control, computer vision techniques are being used. The filling followed by sealing of vials is done on an industrial scale by automated machinery. In a small scale industry such as laboratory settings, filling, and sealing of ampoules is done by hand. Empty ampoules can be purchased from the scientific glass supply houses, and then can be sealed with the help of a small gas torch.
Click here to request TOC of the report
Modern ampoules have ampoule codes. These codes are in the form of colored rings of enamel around the neck of the vial. Color coding is done during the process of manufacturing ampoules. Colored rings are being painted on the neck of the ampoules by a machine after the ampoules are filled and sealed. These colored rings help to identify content inside the ampoules, and hence does not require further testing. The ampoule codes allow accurate handling of the substance for labeling, storage and secondary packaging.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's
The Great Gatsby
Adapted for the stage by Simon Levy
Directed by Deric McNish
In the extravagance and decadence of the roaring twenties, when thoughtless millionaires ruled with impunity, the mysterious Gatsby describes Daisy, his one obsession: "Her voice is full of money." Passion and greed infect the American dream in this adaptation, where F. Scott Fitzgerald's voice remains fresh as we watch the rich escape consequences and the power of money to corrupt.

Microwires were created in the former Soviet Union for military purposes. They formed the basis of the camouflage of a model of spy plane used by the Soviet army, but for a long time the scientific community has been studying them for other purposes.
A study by the UPV/EHU's Magnetism Group is making progress in furthering understanding of the surface magnetic behaviour of glass-coated microwires and has concluded that they are the major candidates for use as high sensitivity sensors, in mobile phones, for example. The study has been published in the journal Physica B: Condensed Matter.
Microwires have a metal core and a crystal skin, in other words, they have a glass coating. The core of the microwire consists of a ferromagnetic alloy, which varies according to the metals used in the alloy and the final geometry of the wire. "But there is a quality that they all share: they have magnetic properties. It is precisely their magnetic properties and small size that account for the fact that they are so prized," pointed out Alexander Chizhik, a member of the Magnetism group.
"One of the possibly best-known applications with respect to microwires is that they can be used as sensors in the electronic compasses of mobile phones," said Chizhik. "These are sensors that allow the position of the mobile phone owner to be determined in space just as if the device were a GPS." Like the sensors in mobile phones, various sensors developed in collaboration with the Japanese company Aichi are currently being used in the automotive industry or in traffic surveillance vehicles.
Magnetic structure
Right now, the mass production of these sensors is closely related to the ability to reproduce the properties of the wires and the homogeneities of these properties throughout the length of the microwire. So "the main task in our work is to choose the optimum parameters of the magnetic microwires in order to obtain a higher level of reproducibility," explained Chizhik.
That is why the aim of this research is part of the intense work that the Magnetism group has been carrying out over the last 25 years involving studies into the magnetic properties of new materials. In this context, "particular attention has been paid to the quest for new applications for these tiny wires," explained Alexander Chizhik. "Our study makes it possible to go further into the understanding of the surface magnetic behaviour of glass-coated microwires," he added.
Specifically, the UPV/EHU's Magnetism Group has concentrated on studying the magnetic structure of microwires. They are using a laser to do this. The light emitted from this device is reflected onto the microwire and gathers all the information about the microwire's magnetic, electrical, and atomic, etc. structure. "Let's say this microwire functions like a mirror," added the Magnetism Group researcher. That way "we have managed to study the magnetic structure of the microwires in depth and see that they display a unique structure of magnetic domains," as Alexander Chizhik pointed out. "This structure of magnetic domains provides microwaves with great sensitivity. It is a very important factor to take into consideration, because sensors have to have a degree of sensitivity that is higher than the rest in order to pick up low-intensity signals," he added.
He concluded by saying, "Thanks to this study, we have also verified that if we apply an electric current to microwires, the magnetic domain structure varies; so this is an important factor for these sensors to work well".

"Comprehensive Immigration Reform": an Oxymoron in the Making
By W.D. Reasoner, November 20, 2012
Center for Immigration Studies
Well, the election's over and the drumbeat has begun: "Comprehensive immigration reform now!" "¡Sí, se puede!" Most assuredly by now, virtually everyone understands that "CIR", to use the acronym, is code for amnesty for most of the millions of aliens illegally in the United States. For background on this issue, see for example, the remarks of Mark Krikorian in a National Review Online op-ed and his blog entry, "Thou Shalt Not Be Comprehensive".
Not unexpected, but a trifle more surprising is the rapidity with which Republican stalwarts have started climbing on this bandwagon. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has joined Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York to begin the process of introducing legislation.
House Speaker John Boehner has also weighed in, saying, among other things, "It's an important issue that I think ought to be dealt with I'm confident that the president, myself, others, can find the common ground to take care of this issue once and for all."
Here are some of the rationalizations used by advocates to justify "comprehensive immigration reform" and my responses to them:
The border is under better control than ever. This old saw has been repeated by every administration since the first amnesty in 1986 when Reagan was president. So, exactly how did 10 to 12 million illegal aliens slip in here then? Maybe by "Beam me down Scotty!" technology?
Border apprehensions are lower than they've been in a decade. This is true, and of course the Border Patrol itself touts this as proof of its effectiveness (they have to; they've more than doubled in size). Of course, the Patrol also says, when apprehensions are high, that it's proof of their effectiveness. I've noted this terrific statistical sleight-of-hand in blogs before, and noted the Rand Corporation's dry observation that any statistic that can be manipulated to claim success when it is either at its highest or its lowest is no measure of success at all. Besides, nearly half of the illegal-alien population came here legally as nonimmigrants, and then just stayed. So, please, let's not tout lack of border apprehensions as proof that the problem of illegal aliens is under control.
Deportations under this administration are the highest ever. Well, not really. Even the president called that statistic "a little bit misleading". This is because under the Obama administration, Homeland Security has chosen to combine formal removals (deportations) with voluntary removals. No other administration has ever done that before; there has always been a bright line between the two. Strip one away from the other and examine the two sets of numbers separately, and they begin to look somewhat less robust.
This administration is deporting more criminal aliens than ever before. True, but this administration is also releasing more criminals than ever before. It has relaxed its policies to permit misdemeanants to walk away from county jails without having detainers filed against them; offered weak-as-water responses to local jurisdictions that refuse to honor the detainers; instituted a "prosecutorial discretion" policy that has permitted trial attorneys to jettison thousands of cases pending against illegal aliens, including criminals under poorly-defined parameters; and even allowed aliens with criminal histories to apply for the executive action version of the DREAM Act, which is supposed to allow deserving youth to remain in the United States. I am sure there are gangbangers all over the country laughing up their sleeves at that.
So, please, let us not use the word "reform" when speaking of amnesty. What, exactly, is reformed? Simply treating the massive presence of illegal aliens as a backlog to be washed away, with no plan in mind to stop the "backlog" from immediately starting again is no reform at all. It's just another example of politicians kicking the can down the road for others to deal with, because they refuse to.
What is more, the downtick in border crossings if it can truly be inferred from the downtick in apprehensions (a cause-and-effect proposition for which I've seen no empirical evidence) will likely reverse itself quickly now that all the chatter has begun, as aliens position themselves to be "in" before any amnesty passes and begin to collect the bogus receipts and other fabricated evidence of having been here for whatever requisite period is decided upon.
But back to Speaker Boehner's curious use of the phrase, "once and for all". I keep sticking on those words. Why would this amnesty be once and for all, unlike the one in 1986 when politicians also said it would be once and for all?
We've seen that as soon as amnesty advocates get what they want, they immediately work to destroy the other side of the equation serious, significant immigration enforcement both at the border and in the interior so what basis is there to trust their assurances now?
Or are we as a people now resigned to accept cyclical mass amnesties every 20 or 30 years? If so, then let everyone be honest about it, including the politicians who should admit that, like so many other intractable issues, they're just kicking this one down the road, too, for someone else to handle, once again, a generation or two from now.
If you think that this amnesty will in fact be once and for all, then I've got an interesting and confidential business proposal I'd like to make, so please send me your e-mail address right away. Oh, and don't be surprised if the response comes from Barrister Prince Sonny Chukwo Ife. That's just my online business persona, which I use because this proposal is so unique, and the rate of return on investment is so high, that I can't afford to offer it to everyone just special persons like you my friend, and all the others who read and respond to the extraordinary offer I am making in this blog.

text: New journal explores urban climate change by Matt Collette December 11, 2012 Share Mastodon Facebook LinkedIn Twitter Matthias Ruth, a professor with joint appointments in the College of Engineering and the College of Social Sciences and Humanities, is the co-editor in chief of a new academic journal that takes an interdisciplinary look at the relationship between urban dynamics and climate change. "We have long thought about changing the global climate problem through global accords—which have had limited success, at best—and with this journal we want to look back at what cities can do to change climate on their own," said Ruth, who is editing the journal with Alexander Baklanov of the Danish Meteorological Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. "Within our own environment, there is so much we can do to impact climate, which is increasingly becoming a focus for climate researchers." The first issue of Urban Climate was released last month. The first issue of the journal, Urban Climate, was released last month, and another issue is due before the end of the year. It will be available for free online for at least the first two years of its publication. The journal has already received more than 100 submissions that focus on a range of topics, including urban environmental health, energy use, and public transportation in cities around the globe. "More people live in cities than anywhere else now, so there is a recognition that we need to look at climate change at an urban level," Ruth said. "We see this as a journal that equally addresses social and environmental issues, bringing them together at the local, urban scale." Ruth, who joined the Northeastern faculty this fall, takes an interdisciplinary approach toward the study of climate change and sustainability. He works at the forefront of ecological economics, which focuses on developing methods that integrate insights from economics, engineering, and the life sciences. In a letter to colleagues published in the journal's first issue, Ruth and Baklanov described their goals, saying that the publication's research would closely examine the relationship between climate and urban areas, aiming to shape decision-making and policy moving forward. "Climate conditions play a particular role in this context not just because climate change poses new challenges for any large agglomeration of people, infrastructures, institutions, and ecosystems, but also because urban areas can play a lead role in humanity's quest for a relationship with the natural environment that allows societies to prosper and flourish for a long time to come," the two editors wrote. "Urban climate, as a topic of research and focus for decision making, subsumes many of these challenges. … Being able to assist in that knowledge sharing and knowledge generation will, no doubt, be a great opportunity to which we look forward."

US carrier group patrols in tense South China Sea
WASHINGTON - ReutersA United States aircraft carrier strike group has begun patrols in the South China Sea amid growing tension with China over control of the disputed waterway and concerns it could become a flashpoint under the new U.S. administration.
China's Foreign Ministry on Feb. 15 warned Washington against challenging its sovereignty in the South China Sea.
The U.S. navy said the force, including Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, began routine operations in the South China Sea on Feb. 18. The announcement was posted on the Vinson's Facebook page.
The strike group's commander, Rear Admiral James Kilby, said that weeks of training in the Pacific had improved the group's effectiveness and readiness.
"We are looking forward to demonstrating those capabilities while building upon existing strong relationships with our allies, partners and friends in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region," he was quoted as saying by the Navy News Service.
Friction between the United States and China over trade and territory under U.S. President Donald Trump have increased concerns that the South China Sea could become a flashpoint.
China wrapped up its own naval exercises in the South China Sea on Feb. 17. War games involving its own aircraft carrier have unnerved neighbors with which it has long-running territorial disputes.
China lays claim to almost all of the resource-rich South China Sea, through which about $5 trillion worth of trade passes each year.
Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also claim parts of the waters that command strategic sea lanes and have rich fishing grounds, along with oil and gas deposits.
The United States has criticized Beijing's construction of man-made islands and build-up of military facilities in the sea, and expressed concern they could be used to restrict free movement.

Humorama was a line of risque gag cartoon and pin up digests from the late 1950s and 1960s. The group included some 20 titles: Jest, Joker, Eyeful, Romp, Stare, Snappy, Zippy, Breezy. You get the idea. Each issue included a dozen or so cartoonists, some of whom have become well-known, even iconic, despite the sexist subject matter. Famous artists like Bill Wenzel, Bill Ward, Dan DeCarlo (of Archie fame) and lesser known but equally interesting cartoonists such as Jefferson Machamer, Lowell Hoppes, Bill Kresse, Stanley Rayon and a few dozen more. Even the co-creator of Superman comics Joe Shuster sold drawings to Humorama. Cartoon pin ups! The original work of all Humorama artists are collectible, many of whom had long careers as both "legitimate" comic artists and the risque. The magazines are as well becoming hard to find in mint condition. Included here are original drawings by Machamer, Wenzel, Kresse and Hoppes.
Risque original comic art, in particular the "vintage sleaze" girly art of this period fall in and out of favor, but much of the work is affordable and as each is a unique piece of art, desirable. There is also increasing interest from kitsch collectors, comic historians and surprisingly, women!
