In the Dominican Republic doctors are not treating a 16-year-old girl with acute leukemia because of her pregnancy, CNN reports. Article 37 of the Dominican constitution, passed in 2009 states: "the right to the life is inviolable from conception until death." Because of this bill, abortion is illegal in every case, including rape, incest, and endangerment of a woman's health or life. The unnamed girl is dying and needs an aggressive chemotherapy treatment, which would more than likely terminate her pregnancy. The teen is approximately 12 weeks pregnant. Doctors are fearful of providing her with the treatment she needs out of fear of legal action, but the current state of her treatment is unclear.
The girl's mother, Rosa Hernandez, is trying to convince health and government officials to make an exception and give her daughter the chance of survival. "My daughter's life is first. I know that [abortion] is a sin and that it goes against the law ... but my daughter's health is first," Hernandez said.
"How can it be possible that so much time is being wasted? That the treatment hasn't begun yet because they're still meeting, trying to decide if she has the right to receive the treatment to save her life -- that's unacceptable," said Lilliam Fondeur, a women's rights activist in the Dominican Republic.
This case highlights the concerns raised by Aldrian Almonte, President of the Dominican Gynecology and Obstetrics Society, in 2009 when the ban was passed. He warned that maternal deaths would rise significantly as a result of Article 37 and said "I would like of the honorable legislators to tell me what are we going to do before the presence of a woman with severe preeclampsia or eclampsia, convulsing in any emergency room around the country, what must we do, see her die to protect ourselves from the repercussions that [the ban] stipulates?"

Harry Belafonte Sues Martin Luther King Jr.'s Heirs In Yet Another Fight Over 'Ownership' Of His Words
from the sued-at-last,-sued-at-least... dept
Mr. Belafonte, who often supported the King family financially during the civil rights struggle, said the dispute pains him. He said in his view, Dr. King's children had drifted away from their father's values. "The papers are symbolic," he said. "It's really about what happened to the children, and I feel that somewhere, in this one area, I really failed Martin."Of course, what isn't clearly delineated in the NYT article about all this is the difference between ownership of the documents and the holding the copyright on the contents. Late in the article, a lawyer claims it's about the copyright:
Clarence B. Jones, Dr. King's lawyer and close friend, said the King family had every right to protect its copyright.However, it doesn't seem like this fight has anything to do with copyright at all. After all, the copyright doesn't change hands with the letter (and the King estate almost certainly doesn't hold the copyright in the letter from President Lyndon B. Johnson to Mrs. King, which is included in the documents they're fighting over). Furthermore, even if Belafonte had the documents that included works that were potentially covered by copyright for King, the copyright would still remain with the King estate, but Belafonte could still sell the physical documents under the first sale doctrine.
That said, given how aggressive the King estate has been over copyright as well as physical ownership of documents (they went after Boston University to get back a trove of documents King had directly donated to the school), it shows yet again how copyright is a tool that is used all too often for control, rather than for "the progress of science" as prescribed by the Constitution.

Need Point of Care EMR Documentation to Meet Future EMR Documentation Requirements

As part of my ongoing writing about what people are starting to call the EHR Backlash, I started to think about the shifting tides of EMR documentation. One of the strongest parts of the EHR backlash from doctors surrounds the convoluted documentation that an EMR creates. There is no end to the doctors who are tired of getting a stack of EMR documentation where 2 lines in the middle mean anything to them.
Related to this is the physician backlash to "having to do SOOOO many clicks." (emphasis theirs) I still love the analogy of EHR clicks compared to playing a piano, but unfortunately EHR vendors haven't done a good job solving the two things described in that article: fast predictable response and training.
With so many doctors dissatisfied with all the clicking, I predict we're going to see a shift of documentation requirements that are going to need a full keyboard as many doctors do away with the point and click craziness that makes up many doctors lives. Sure, transcription and voice recognition can play a role for many doctors and scribes or similar documentation methods will have their place, but I don't see them taking over the documentation. The next generation of doctors type quickly and won't have any problem typing their notes just like I don't have any issue typing this blog post.
As I think about the need for the keyboard, it makes me think about the various point of care computing options out there. I really don't see a virtual keyboard on a tablet ever becoming a regular typing instrument. At CES I saw a projected keyboard screen that was pretty cool, but still had a lot of development to go. This makes sense why the COWs that I saw demoed at HIMSS are so popular and likely will be for a long time to come.
Even if you subscribe to the scribe or other data input method, I still think most of that documentation is going to need to be available at the point of care. I've seen first hand the difference of having a full keyboard documentation tool in the room with you versus charting in some other location. There's just so much efficiency lost when you're not able to document in the EMR at the point of care.
I expect that as EMR documentation options change, the need to have EMR documentation at the point of care is going to become even more important.

The Instruction Manual
How to read John Ashbery.
John Ashbery wrote his first poem when he was 8. It rhymed and made sense ("The tall haystacks are great sugar mounds/ These are the fairies' camping grounds") and the young writer—who had that touch of laziness that sometimes goes along with precocity—came to a realization: "I couldn't go on from this pinnacle." He went on, instead, to write poems that mostly didn't rhyme, and didn't make sense, either. His aim, as he later put it, was "to produce a poem that the critic cannot even talk about." It worked. Early on, a frustrated detractor called him "the Doris Day of Modernism." Even today a critic like Helen Vendler confesses that she's often "mistaken" about what Ashbery is up to. You can see why: It simply may not be possible to render a sophisticated explication de texte of a poem that concludes "It was domestic thunder,/ The color of spinach. Popeye chuckled and scratched/ His balls: it sure was pleasant to spend a day in the country."
No wonder Ashbery is widely thought of as dauntingly "difficult"—or, in some camps, as something of a literary hoaxster. It would be a shame, though, if this prevented curious readers from picking up his books. Being difficult, after all, is not the same thing as being incomprehensible. And the truth is that Ashbery's poetry is still very much invested in the reader's pleasure—more so than many supposedly "approachable" poets. Where Shall I Wander, his latest book, is an often delightful and arresting mishmash of battily comic poems about facing death—the poet is now 77—and coded reflections on his early years as part of what became known as "the New York School." Like much of Ashbery's poetry, it is challenging in a strangely inviting way.
It is hard to talk concretely about Ashbery's poetry, because his subject is, so often, aesthetic consciousness—what he calls "the experience of experience." On the one hand, the poems have the dashed-off look and feel of pop culture-inflected postmodernism, inspired by the radical innovations of Dada and French Surrealism. On the other hand, at their heart is a kind of high Romantic yearning for wholeness: In a sense the poems are simply about being unable to give up that longing. At the center of an Ashbery poem isn't usually a subject (à la Philip Larkin) but a feeling (à la Jackson Pollock). That feeling is conjured up by the interplay between aesthetic conviction and amiably bland bewilderment; amid all the flotsam and jetsam of everyday life is the enduring hope that, as one speaker puts it, "at last I shall see my complete face." The best thing to do, then, is not to try to understand the poems but to try to take pleasure from their arrangement, the way you listen to music. It's only then, for most readers, that the meaning begins to leak through.
Ashbery may be poetry's first skeptical revolutionary. He is the first poet to achieve something utterly new by completely doubting the possibility—and the value—of capturing what the lyric poem has traditionally tried to capture: a crystallization of a moment in time, an epiphanic realization—what Wordsworth called "spots of time." Ashbery has updated the lyric poem by rejecting this project, finding it fundamentally inauthentic (though he'd never put it in such somber terms). As he writes in "Clepsydra," "Each moment/ of utterance is the true one; likewise none is true." The poet must somehow capture this paradox, to make a poem that is not a verbal artifact but a kind of living system. What's important is not art, per se, but "The way music passes, emblematic/ Of life and how you cannot isolate a note of it/ And say it is good or bad/ . ... one cannot guard, treasure/ That stalled moment. It too is flowing, fleeting."
Ashbery's second radical move was to change the way the poet saw himself in relation to contemporary society. Though particular poems don't have specific subjects, he may write more about America—and with a more persuasive ambivalence—than any of his peers. "You spoke from the margin," he says in Where Shall I Wander, a common enough artistic sentiment; but where Ashbery differs from Baudelaire or Eliot is that, like Whitman and Emerson, he (often) sees himself as fundamentally more like his fellow-man than unlike. In this, he marries two previously unmarried literary traditions—continental avant-gardism and Romanticism. Perhaps it's this hybrid impulse—his reluctance to identify too strongly with any single tradition—that motivates his bringing together all different kinds of dictions and styles in a single poem, from slapstick to the didactic, from the earnest to the skeptical, while privileging none.
This can make for strange reading. Ashbery becomes a kind of radio transistor through which many different voices, genres, and curious archaeological remains of language filter, so that the poems are like the sound you would hear if you spun through the FM/AM dial without stopping to tune into any one program for long. Sometimes (as you can imagine) this is infuriating. But in the best of Ashbery, the excess verbiage helps make the moments of lyric focus all the more propulsive and startling, like coming across a lost tune as you spin the dial—the sort of thing that briefly brings promise of "a movement out of the dream into its codification." Endings, in particular, are a forte of Ashbery's. Take the beautiful passage that concludes his famous long poem "Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror":
We have seen the city; it is the gibbous
Mirrored eye of an insect. All things happen
On its balcony and are resumed within,
But the action is the cold, syrupy flow
Of a pageant. One feels too confined,
Sifting the April sunlight for clues,
In the mere stillness of the ease of its
Parameter. The hand holds no chalk
And each part of the whole falls off
And cannot know it knew, except
Here and there, in cold pockets
Of remembrance, whispers out of time.
Still, for the many readers daunted by all the static, perhaps some tips are in order—if not for easy listening, then at least for better attuned ears. First, bear in mind that Ashbery's subjects are big ones—time, memory, nostalgia—so don't get frustrated by what may seem vague. Second, trust yourself. If you're bored, skip the poem, or skim. But make sure to stay receptive to the farcical comedy in the poems, which often arrives out of nowhere—like a deadpan subway announcer in a good mood.
Third, Ashbery's most famous rhetorical ambiguities—the odd, nonsensical language, the ever-shifting array of pronouns, the abrupt shifts in diction—are not totally without a center. He considers his poems to be, like Jasper Johns' paintings, a kind of "organized chaos." Imagine the poems as a series of different self-revising, self-interrupting voices—the different voices we use to talk to ourselves in our own minds (incantatory, exhortatory, scolding, disgusted, delighted, genial, nonsensical) that belong to the different characters we carry around in our own heads. Notice, too, that Ashbery frequently substitutes an unexpected word for a familiar one—"the bee's hymn," say, rather than "the bee's hum." Ashbery, who cut his teeth on the surrealists and the Dadaist poets—Tristan Tzara, Guillaume Apollinaire—as well as Elizabeth Bishop and Wallace Stevens, is trying to renovate a language that to him seems exhausted and cliché-riddled.
And don't be confused by all the pronouns encountered in a single poem—the procession of shifting "you," "we," and "I" that is a hallmark Ashbery tactic. Traditionally, the different pronouns in a lyric poem are important because they fill in the latent narrative, helping you figure out whether the person being addressed is a lover, a daughter, the self, etc. But in Ashbery the pronouns are generic rather than specific. The "we" is an expression of the poet's flickering sense of solidarity with his fellow citizens, a stand-in for what he takes to be marginalized participants in American capitalism: those who love its products (the movies, T-shirts) but are suspicious of its processes; it represents the cautious identification of the individual with his society. The "you" is often a kind of companion self, a figure the speaker, in moments of feeling exiled, can address himself to. A typical Ashbery move is to retreat from this pluralistic "you" or "we" of identifying with others to an intensely singular "you"—the you of the self suddenly and ruefully alienated from his surroundings, the one we address in private.
Admittedly, there is something peculiar about giving up your right, as a reader, to understand the sentences in front of you. It's one thing to do it while looking at a Cy Twombly painting—somehow, it's easier to relinquish visual logic than verbal logic, perhaps because vision is already a logic, organizing the waves of information the eye receives into an understandable picture. Words, on the other hand, are our effort to create a logic for ourselves, to articulate what Wallace Stevens once concisely called "the hum of thoughts evaded in the mind." But Ashbery's free-wheeling strategy makes the reader fiercely attentive to the present—to the textures of the world, not the containers the poet has built for them. It enlivens the words on the page, encouraging the reader, as Helen Vendler once said, to note, "at least subconsciously, the whole orchestral potential of the English language." Many poets aim to do this, but these poets are also obsessed with the pleasures of making a sonnet, or discovering an unpredictable rhyme. Ashbery seems bored by these things.
Instead, he sets out to capture the range of language that bombards us—from the boardrooms, movie theaters, and streets ("Attention, shoppers," one poem begins; "Say, doc," another starts)—and at his best succeeds better than any other writer at conveying how the barrage affects a mind haunted by its own processes and by the unstable patterns that shape-shift around us. To tune in, start off with a middle-period book like Houseboat Days or The Double Dream of Spring, or an assortment of individual poems: "Syringa," "Soonest Mended," "Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror," "Wet Casements," "Tapestry," "The Instruction Manual," "And Ut Pictura Poesis Is Her Name," "A Blessing In Disguise." From the new book, try the funny "Novelty Love Trot" (best read as a kind of demented personal ad); "Wolf Ridge" and "Heavy Home" (both are in some sense about the dissolution of the New York School of poets) and the luminous "You Spoke as a Child," "The New Higher," and "Affordable Variety." These are the poems that instruct us how to listen to Ashbery's peculiar music.

BOYS BASKETBALL: St. Marys stunned at buzzer by Shawnee
SHAWNEE TOWNSHIP — In a season of close calls and frustrating endings, the regular season and Western Buckeye League finale might've delivered the most powerful punch to the St. Marys boys basketball team's collective stomach yet.
Shawnee's Thad Vernon hit a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Shawnee Indians to a 57-55 victory over St. Marys on Friday night.
Vernon buried the shot from the top of the key after freshman Elijah Pughsley passed the ball out a double team in the right corner. Vernon caught the ball with two seconds at the top of the key and splashed the shot as the buzzer sounded, sending the Shawnee bench and student section cascading onto the midcourt.
St. Marys head coach Dan Hegemier and his players bent over at the waist staring in disbelief after an eighth straight loss to end the regular season.
This one hurt the most.
"Very much so," Hegemier said. "The kids played hard and — again — no rewards."
"It wasn't exactly what we drew up," Shawnee second-year head coach Don Vogt said. "In the previous timeout I told the kids that when they were centering so much on Seth (Rosenbauer) we had to look opposite. Fortunately for us, Elijah had the wherewithal to locate Thad and fortunately for us that shot went in."
Vernon and senior Seth Rosenbauer led the Indians with 15 points apiece. Rosenbauer added a game-high 11 rebounds.
The Indians snapped an eight-game losing streak and improved to 5-15.
St. Marys fell to 5-15 and 1-8 in the WBL.
Garet Fledderjohann scored 15 points, D.J. Manning added 14 and J.D. Meyer had 11 points. Austin James scored nine points on three 3-pointers.
St. Marys plays rival Wapakoneta in a sectional semifinal at Lima Senior on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at approximately 8 p.m.
The Indians face Elida in a sectional semifinal on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at Lima Senior.

Castellano, the leading rider in New York in 2013 with 217 victories, won the first five races in which he had a mount, all aboard favorites. Without a mount in race 8 after morning-line favorite Anjaz was scratched from the Grade 3 Long Island Handicap, Castellano made it 6-for-7 aboard North Star Boy.
"When I came here this morning I was kind of disappointed to see my filly scratched from the stakes," said Castellano, a 33-year-old native of Venezuela. "All my horses today were live but I thought she was my best chance."
It was the first six-win day for a jockey in New York since the now-retired Ramon Dominguez went 6-for-7 on September 2, 2012, at Saratoga Race Course.
• Left to her own devices on the front end, long shot Inimitable Romanee set a dawdling pace and had plenty in reserve late to hold off Tabreed by one length and spring a 28-1 upset on Saturday in Aqueduct Racetrack's Grade 3, $200,000 Long Island Handicap for turf fillies and mares.
"I didn't think there was any real speed in there," said jockey Chris DeCarlo. "I was pretty sure that if I did make the lead, no one was going to push me because she was 28-1. When I finally dropped her head, she gave me an unbelievable turn of foot. It was like she re-broke out of the gate."
"She's a deserving mare, a hard-knocking mare, who deserved to win [a stakes]," said H. Graham Motion, who trains Inimitable Romanee for Gallagher's Stud. "She had been knocking heads with some hard-knocking fillies. It just goes to show you how tough those New York-breds have been." (Jon Forbes)
• With the Grade 1 Cigar Mile on November 30 back on her schedule, champion Groupie Doll had her first trip to the track since her Breeders' Cup victory, jogging a mile and galloping a mile over Belmont Park's training track.
The two-time winner of the Filly & Mare Sprint will be making her first start for new owner Mandy Pope, who paid $3.1 million for the defending female sprint champion on Wednesday.
"We're very excited about who bought her," said trainer William "Buff" Bradley, who had owned Groupie Doll with his 82-year-old father, Fred, and minority partners Carl Hurst and Brent Burns. "We had thought she would be retired immediately. If we had kept her, we knew we'd probably be looking at the Cigar Mile."
Joining Bradley in accompanying Groupie Doll back to New York were groom Matt Hebert and exercise rider Jada Schlenk.
"Groupie Doll did very well," said Bradley of the 5-year-old chestnut mare, who is 11-4-4 from 21 starts and has career earnings of nearly $2.5 million. "She was very much into herself and showed a pretty good energy level, which is what we wanted to see."

WASHINGTON — In President Obama's first term, a promise of bipartisanship withered on stony ground; as his second begins, he has openly embraced confrontation.
On a parade of hot-button political issues, including the budget, gun control and immigration, Obama has begun to hammer on weak points in the Republican coalition.
He has made little effort to woo members of the opposition in Congress, whose positions he has characterized publicly as "intransigent," "extreme" and "absurd." Instead, he appears intent on dividing them.
That approach has unified Democrats, who remain staunchly supportive of the president, while exacerbating splits in Republican ranks, according to polls. While the strategy involves considerable risk, Obama and his aides seem convinced it offers their best hope of winning major legislative victories in an era of deep partisan divisions in Washington and in the wider electorate.

Organisation says motorists' complaints show used-car dealers putting worn parts back in imported vehicles
The Automobile Association says complaints show used-car dealers are illegally putting worn parts back into vehicles before selling them on.
"Certainly we see that it is going on," said Stella Stocks, AA's general manager of Motoring Services.
"The problem with this issue is until it surfaces the way that it has, no one knows about it."
Yesterday the Herald reported that the Auckland Motor Vehicle Disputes Tribunal ruled on three cases in the past year where a dealer had illegally swapped parts.
When used-cars are brought into the country they are subject to a safety test, performed by one of three organisations which include the AA.
Very often worn parts will have to be replaced before the car is re-checked by the compliance agent and allowed to be sold.
In its annual report the tribunal said it believed dealers were putting the old parts back into vehicles after getting approval at the recheck.
Ms Stocks said the AA was often approached by motorists who bought a car which had been given the all-clear from the AA, but had subsequently had problems.
"They come back to us and say, 'You did the entry certification on this, and look at the tyres on this car - they're not suitable'.
"We know from the documentation that we keep on compliance that those particular tyres, or whatever it may be, were not on the vehicle at that time."
The NZ Transport Agency is currently attempting to determine the extent of the practice.
The Auckland tribunal said cases it dealt with could be "the tip of the iceberg", or confined to a few dishonest traders.
The traders accused by the tribunal and the Imported Motor Vehicle Association say swapping parts makes little financial sense.
Yesterday that was supported by automotive engineer Brian Felton, who represented licensed dealers on the Auckland tribunal for nine years.
Mr Felton said while some dealers took shortcuts, he could not believe the practice took place, given the relative cheapness of parts like brakepads.
But Ms Stocks said the problem could well be widespread, particularly because many victims would not work out what had happened.
"The reality is to a lot of people a car is a mode of transport ... the technical details they've got no idea on."
The scam
* Used-cars checked for safety upon importation by compliance agent such as the AA.
* Very often dealers told to replace worn or damaged parts.
* Once this is done vehicle is re-checked and given approval for sale.
* Some dealers accused of then putting old parts back into car before selling on.

My daughter has had a lot of trouble passing her algebra class at her university. She just CANNOT do algebra. She failed last sememster, then worked her butt-off this semester. Lots of stress, worry from my DH about paying for another failed class, etc. She pulled it off by the skin of her teeth. YAY! BUT. Here is where we were stupid. Our next-door neighbor who is a very good neighbor and a really nice person (as is her husband), brought us xmas cookies (yum!) and told me that she was so happy my daughter had passed because she and her husband had PRAYED for her to pass!!! WOW! We thought it was my daughters spending a whole semester spending hours in the math-lab getting tutored, staying up all night studying, etc. and here ALL she had to do was ask our neighbors to pray for her to pass!
(sorry I sound so mean, but really? That's like Tim Tebow (sp?) thinking jesus makes him win football games when there are kids dying in horrible pain in the world. BTW SNL had an Excellent skit of jesus and Tim Tebow in the locker-room after a game. Hilarious. Look it up on YouTube!)

God moves in mysterious ways. Perhaps He made the tutors who helped her good at math. Perhaps He inspired the inventors of Red Bull and/or Frappucino to help her stay up to study. You don't know! PROVE THAT HE DIDN'T! ! !
Why'd He let her fail the first time?
Indeed, it had nothing to do with how hard your daughter worked. It was the Power of Prayer.
Following that train of logic,wWhy bother going to school at all? Just pray for a degree and God will provide. Better yet, just pray for a million bucks and you won't have to worry about working for a living.
My house got cleaner too!
oh wait, that was the Power of Sprayer.
and then there was the magic veterinarian who kept animals from breeding: Power of Spayer.
enough already hehehe
I've had trouble doing math all my life, and I'm decently intelligent, like I'm sure your daughter also is. When I was in college, I learned that I am dyslexic. She might see if she has the same condition. Or, you could start praying for her ;-)
My Darling Wife double majored in Journalism and Anthropology, and had the same difficulties with math. She's happy and successful now, and the math is behind her. That's why I'm here..
My Mom also hated math and indeed was dyslexic, she recently retired from city government as City Manager. I help her with some numbers as she worked her way up from Budget Director.
Some schools have a "Math for Journalists" course, check it out. Hard work and perseverance.
From The Devil's Dictionary:
PERSEVERANCE, n. A lowly virtue whereby mediocrity achieves an inglorious success.
Dyscalculia! that's the thing. grrr..good luck.
As a cautionary note, I wouldn't recommend prayer for passing biology. God doesn't believe in evolution. Might backfire.
I would've been all serious-like and asked your neighbor how come God had time to help your daughter pass a class, but couldn't save people from [insert current natural disaster here].
Yes, the "God works in mysterious ways" card they like to play is so annoying. Imagine if we held everyone to those same standards. Medical care, for one, would go down the drain.
Why do they pray? A sick, co-dependent, master-slave, sado-masochistic relation. He needs the fawning, grovelling, and boot licking to satisfy his his undeserved arrogance and over-inflated ego. They need the beatings, degradation and humiliation to please the one in control, since they're too chicken shit to acknowledge control over their own lives.
One minor problem. They're licking the boots of death born out of fear, and there's no one wearing any boots.
If there is a next math or science class, have her utilize a tutoring service if she is experiencing difficulties. I don't recommend math-lab for tutoring. The students running the lab are generally not the best at that sort of thing. For those that are top rate in the math-lab, their time and attention will be too divided. "Just my thoughts from an ex-academic" Congratulations to your daughter! It is good to prevail over any obstacle.

Nah, we're tired of giving him time. This is his 4th season, and he's playing worse than ever. He's even lost his starting spot.
He won't ever succed on the Warriors. The team needs to move on and get another sf, and trade him while he still has some value.

Ramettes hope to build on solid 8-win season in 2011
JOHNSONBURG – Coming off a banner year in which the Johnsonburg Ramettes tallied eight wins and advanced to the first round of the playoffs, second-year head coach Melissa Myers is looking for even more this time around."That was a big step for them and really built up their confidence, and I know the team is looking forward to getting back out there," coach Myers said as her team last season even pulled off an upset over Curwensville. "We're a young team but I'm looking at trying to get more than eight wins out of them. "Those wins were a big step because we hadn't had eight wins in at least the last three years and getting a first-time playoff game was huge because they were all pumped for that. We're looking forward to trying to advance to the playoffs again this year."Looking back, one thing that may have held the team back last year in regard to player development was a low turnout."Last season we didn't have as many players so we really couldn't get a junior varsity team, and even though we're too short to have it this year, we're able to pull a few games together where I can have some of my varsity players along with some girls that might not have that chance to get in during the game, and play they and they'll be able to get playing time too," coach Myers said. "Last year, we had 11 girls and we're now up to 16."Defensively, coach Myers said clutch fielding was a key aspect that kept her team competitive and helped clinch eight victories."And I'm happy with the defensive signs that we have so far this year," coach Myers said. "We've been indoors a lot with practices and we've probably only gone outside four times at the most. "That's a challenge but we've been looking at our fielding; it's hard to hit when you're in a gym but we're trying to get the basic routine down-- they have to constantly know where the ball is going, who they're playing on and how to steal. "A lot of our players have to work on their leadoff and know when to go, just the basic skills and know-how of the game. We have the knowledge with fielding but we're concentrating on the basic know-hows of the game: stealing, how to trap them in a rundown, things like that."Out in the field, coach Myers hopes to have either Taylor Harvey or Cassie Biondi at first base depending on the game situation; Kiana Myers or Elena Solario at second base; Justis Myers at shortstop; Katie Galsick or Kassa Kocjancic at third base; Dani Jo Dwyer catching; Paige DeCecchis as starting pitcher with Kiana Myers as a backup; Tommi Wildnauer in right field; Brittany Watts in centerfield; and Cassie Biondi in left field; coach Myers also has Lydia Hefright, Autumn Yonker, Rachel Maletto, Alicia Biondi and Kiersten Sallack to use in the outfield at her disposal.At the plate, coach Myers said she hopes her team's bats come alive so that they will not have to rely on pitching and defense so much."We did OK hitting last year but I'd like to see us do better," coach Myers said. "Justis Myers came off strong as our top hitter and Paige DeCecchis was not too far behind. "We have a lot of lettermen coming back as far as the hitting goes and they have the experience, I just hope that it plays out in the games this year."I'm excited because the players are young and I can't wait to see what they can do."

ST. LOUIS (AP) – The nation's largest pharmacy benefit manager will soon limit the number and strength of opioid drugs prescribed to first-time users as part of a wide-ranging effort to curb an epidemic affecting millions of Americans.
Change continues to be the operative word at Memphis-based retailer Fred's Inc., which has made some key additions to its board in recent days as the company continues pursuing a major turnaround that includes completing its acquisition of 865 Rite Aid stores.
Walgreens substantially lowered its offering price for drugstore rival Rite Aid and, facing resistance from U.S. regulators, raised the number of stores it would be willing to unload to ease monopoly concerns.
Memphis-based discount retailer Fred's Inc. has named Mike Bloom its new chief executive officer.
Target will sell its pharmacy and clinic businesses to CVS Health in the latest twist behind a push from big retailers to become all things to all customers.
The nation's second-largest drugstore chain will pay about $1.9 billion to run Target's in-store health operations and expand what they offer for customers who have come to expect that they will be able to fill a prescription when they shop at Target.
Fred's Inc. CEO Jerry A. Shore has been thinking bigger and smaller simultaneously.
"One of my key strategies after being named CEO was to upgrade talent," said Shore, who had been the company's CFO for more than 14 years before changing corporate hats a few months ago.
Fred's Inc. reported a fourth-quarter loss Thursday, March 26, the day after announcing a major acquisition to its pharmacy network as well as the addition of several new executives.
Fred's Inc. booked an $8.2 million loss in the quarter ended Jan. 31 as a rise in expenses countered a small sales gain.
Discount merchandiser Fred's Inc. has tapped a new president and chief operating officer, a key hire that adds to a fresh executive team for the retailer.
Effective Jan. 12, Michael Bloom has joined Fred's as president and COO, bringing to the company more than 30 years of experience in small-box general merchandising, supply chain management and store operations. He's seen the industry from vantage points that include stints at companies like Family Dollar Stores Inc., where he likewise was president and COO, and at CVS Caremark Corp, where he held a variety of positions.
As CVS sharpens its focus on customer health, the nation's second-largest drugstore chain will tweak its corporate name and stop the sale of tobacco nearly a month sooner than planned.
CVS Caremark said it will now be known as CVS Health, effective immediately. The signs on its roughly 7,700 drugstores won't change, so the change may not register with shoppers.
A jump in pharmacy revenue fueled June sales growth for two of the nation's largest drugstore chains, and they may start adding gains from the health care overhaul later this year.
Walgreen Co. and Rite Aid Corp. said Thursday that pharmacy revenue from their established stores climbed more than 11 percent at Walgreen and 5 percent at Rite Aid last month. Walgreen runs the nation's largest drugstore chain with 8,215 stores, while Rite Aid ranks third with 4,754. The company in the middle, CVS Caremark Corp., doesn't report monthly results.
NEW YORK (AP) – Shoppers can skip the math. It's about to get easier to compare prices on products from breakfast cereals to toothpaste at some of the nation's major online retailers.
New York's attorney general said Tuesday that Costco, CVS, FreshDirect, Wal-Mart and Walgreen have agreed to list unit prices on their websites and mobile apps for shoppers nationwide in the coming months. Amazon.com Inc., the world's largest online retailer, did not agree to participate, according to Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman.
That little voice nagging you to put down the cake and lace up the running shoes is increasingly coming from your employer and is likely to grow louder with a looming change under the federal health care overhaul.
The 10th annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving Campaign raised more than $97 million to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, representing a projected 31 percent increase over the previous year.
CVS, the nation's second-largest drugstore chain, is kicking the habit of selling tobacco products as it continues to shift its focus toward being more of a health care provider.
The company said Wednesday that it will phase out cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco by Oct. 1 in its 7,600 stores nationwide, in a move that will help grow its business that works with doctors, hospitals and others to improve customers' health.
NEW YORK (AP) – Drugstore chain operator CVS Caremark Corp. said Wednesday that it has agreed to buy the drug infusion business Coram LLC, a unit of Apria Healthcare Group Inc., for $2.1 billion.
CVS Caremark has launched its 10th annual holiday season in-store fundraiser to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Through Dec. 7, customers can add $1 to $3 to their purchases at the register to help St. Jude. Customers shopping online at www.cvs.com/stjude also have the opportunity to donate $1 at checkout.
CVS Caremark has launched its 10th annual holiday season in-store fundraiser to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
WOONSOCKET, R.I. (AP) – CVS Caremark Corp. plans to pay $20 million to resolve a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into some public disclosures and securities deals involving emloyees, among other items.
Walgreen Co. has stretched the reach of its drugstore clinics beyond treating ankle sprains and sinus infections to handling chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure.
NEW YORK (AP) – The Federal Trade Commission said that it is mailing refund checks to 13,000 Medicare Part D beneficiaries who were overcharged for drugs because a CVS Caremark Corp. business understated the price of the medications.
The Walgreen pharmacy chain will begin filling prescriptions from customers in the Express Scripts network again starting in September under a new multiyear contract that ends a costly impasse between the companies.
Walgreen Co. and some independent drugstores are investing in a nationwide push to give pharmacists a chance to work more with patients to improve care and cut costs.
Drugstore chain Walgreen's loss of a big client is turning into rival CVS Caremark's gain so far this year.
A contract squabble between Walgreen Co. and pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts Inc. has driven more customers to CVS pharmacies, prompting that company to raise its 2012 earnings forecast by 3 cents per share.
Health Net Inc. said Monday it will sell its Medicare Part D stand-alone prescription drug business to CVS Caremark for $160 million.
WOONSOCKET, R.I. (AP) – Shares of CVS Caremark Corp. rose Tuesday after the company said it expects that profit at its Caremark pharmacy benefits management business will grow in 2012, reversing two years of declines.

NEW YORK (AP) – CVS Caremark said Thursday its profit slipped 1 percent in the second quarter as its pharmacy benefits management business weathered lower prices on contract renewals.
The Woonsocket, R.I., company said Caremark faced lower prices related to contract renewals. The most significant of those was its retail pharmacy contract with the Federal Employee Health Benefit Program, which the company renewed in the third quarter of 2010.

Dr. Karen Havholm
University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire
Karen Havholm is a professor in the Geology department at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. The university is one of the branch campuses in the UW system, with approximately 10,000 undergraduate and 500 graduate students. Karen's husband, Glenn, is a CPA, currently working as a business manager.
The "two-body problem" is not limited to academic couples. While Karen was in graduate school, Glenn was very professionally active and successful. However, they decided to aim toward living in a small college town; when she got an academic job, he would follow her. As he has done so, his career has suffered somewhat.

Advice for dual career couples
Karen's job search process: a series of compromisesThe first two academic jobs Karen landed were non-tenure-track, which made the question of moving more complicated. Her first job was a one-year position at Colorado College. Since it was so obviously temporary, they chose to live apart that year, he in Texas and she in Colorado. Their daughter, who was in kindergarten at the time, lived with Karen. Glenn arranged his work schedule so that he had four-day weekends every two weeks. Meanwhile, in Colorado, Karen was teaching on the block system: one class at a time, all day every day for about three and a half weeks. Each day's class meetings were the approximate equivalent of one week's worth of material on the semester system. Fortunately, Colorado College also offered all-day kindergarten as part of an on-campus daycare center. So, Karen would teach all day, pick up her daughter and take care of her until bedtime, then stay up to prepare the equivalent of one week's worth of class material (for one course) for the next day. It was exhausting. Without the on-campus kindergarten, and the help of generous colleagues, Karen says, she doesn't know how she would have survived.
Even though Karen's next job was only a two-year position, Glenn moved with her, choosing to be unemployed instead of living apart again. As it turned out, Karen was offered her current job after the first year of that one, so they moved again the following year. Glenn continued to be unemployed for another year. While their daughter was young, his being unemployed was fine, even desirable to some extent. However, he has remained underemployed ever since, and he would now prefer to be working at a more fulfilling, full-time position. It's one of the risks he took as a trailing spouse, even one outside of academia.
The challenges and benefits of being a dual career coupleProbably the biggest challenge Karen and Glenn have faced as a dual career couple is finding satisfying full-time work for both of them. However, their current situation has allowed Glenn to spend more time with their daughter than he would otherwise have done. This has been especially valuable as Karen negotiates the demands of a tenure-track appointment.
Being part of a dual career couple has also been beneficial in some ways. For example, Karen points out, they can afford to do what they want to do. Also, having a husband who works and volunteers outside of academia expands their circle of contacts. Being at a large university in a small city makes it easy to live entirely within the "ivory tower"; Glenn's activities connect them to a larger world. In particular, he has been very active as a volunteer, taking advantage of the opportunities available to him because of his less than full time employment. At various times, he has been involved in their daughter's girl scout troop, the Great Books reading program, board member and scheduler in a local figure skating club, president of high school orchestra boosters, and now that she is graduated and moved on, treasurer of the Eau Claire Chamber Orchestra. Last, but certainly not least, their daughter has seen a wide variety of opportunities and role models through the activities of both of her parents.

Can anyone know where someone can buy a core speed valve?
The truth is that I'm thinking of buying a used core kite, which is in really good condition but as the seller says the only problem is that the valve is cracked but there is no leak of air. So, maybe it's not leaking air today but who knows for tomorrow? If it has a crack, in the future can be expanded. Other brands are selling their valves through individual sellers and dealers. Core on the other hand does not sell this new valve even in the Core Store:knotmyfault wrote:The valve has a factory problem ?
