With the talk of health care reform, many people are talking about the role of the primary care physician in helping to keep people healthy. But what should you expect from your primary care doctor and how do you know if he or she is the right doctor for you? I'm Sharon Boston, and in this edition of Medically Speaking, we're speaking with Dr. Richard Colgan, a family medicine specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Dr. Colgan is also an associate professor of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Q: Dr. Colgan, this may sound like a basic question, but who are we talking about when we say a primary care physician?
A: We're talking about general internists, family physicians, and general pediatricians.
Q: What has been the traditional role of the primary care physician and how has it changed over the years?
A: Taking care of the whole patient, cradle to grave, womb to tomb, over the years, particularly after World War II, the general practitioner has been further subdivided into the residency trained family physician, internist, and pediatrician.
Q: We've heard a lot about the decline of the number of doctors choosing primary care and that's putting a squeeze on the doctors who remain in the field. I think for patients, they're concerned that they just don't have enough time with their doctor. What do you tell them?
A: I tell them I'd rather have them mad at me for not dealing with all of their concerns today than have them mad at me for going too fast for them. In other words, some patients bring in long laundry lists of their concerns and even this week I had a patient who brought in a list of seven or eight items that she wanted to discuss, which was going to be challenging since we only had fifteen minutes on my schedule to do so. So, what we did together was to prioritize those things which are most important to her and then set up a game plan so that I would meet her several more times over the next couple of months and kind of map out where do we go from here and get some studies started so that I could address all of her issues.
Q: What qualities do you think should someone look for in a primary care doctor?
A: The old axiom of the three A's I think still holds true. Someone who's available, affable, and able. And to that list I'd add someone who's board-certified, kind, has your interests at heart, and is willing to work with you as a team effort.
Q: Do you find that patients these days are more informed, that they come to you with information they've researched?
A: Oh, absolutely. And, you know, it reminds of the advertisement by Sy Syms. I have no stock in their company, but the advertisement for Sy Syms says, "An educated consumer is our best customer." And I love it when patients show responsibility for being informed. I'm their consultant, I'm their helper, but it's their body and it's their health.
Q: You are very involved in the training of young doctors. Besides being good diagnosticians, what other skills do you teach them and why are these important?
A: I try to teach medical students and residents the art of medicine as often as I can. I've written a book on this topic entitled Advice to the Young Physician on the Art of Medicine. The subtitle might be called Making the Transition from Technician to Healer. I think teaching young physicians and medical students the art of medicine is critically important today because it's evolved into a highly technical and scientific helping profession. Yet, high tech has to be coupled with high touch. In my book, Advice to the Young Physician, I reveal some of the greatest lessons on the art of medicine as taught by some of history's giants. I have chapters on ancient times, including the Greeks, Hippocrates, medieval physicians, highlighting Rhazes, Avicenna, and Maimonides, twentieth century greats Schweitzer, Osler, and Peabody, as well as some more modern masters, Woodward, Farmer, and Pellegrino. The book also has many other chapters looking at excellence in the physician-patient relationship and ends with a chapter called The Healer, as I think that is what all good physicians aspire to be.
Q: How can a patient recognize if his or her doctor has these qualities?
A: I think you start by asking your friends and ultimately spending time with the physician. You will quickly get the feeling whether or not this relationship will be a good one. And if you don't, you should find another doctor.
Q: How can patients make their visits more productive?
A: I think patients can make their visits more productive by being informed, by reading up on health matters. Specifically, don't smoke, don't overeat, get regular exercise, don't overconsume alcohol and don't expect unreasonable things from medicine. I think patients could benefit by trying to make their visit more productive by prioritizing their concerns, by being open-minded to coming back in again if the number of issues are large or potentially very serious so that more time is needed. It may be helpful to bring a family member so a second set of ears can hear what's going on and assist.
Q: Do you have any final advice for people who may be searching for a primary care doctor or thinking about switching to a new doctor?
A: Yes, I think if you ask your friends, who do they see, who do they enjoy seeing, who do they trust, it's a good start. You should consider meeting a few different doctors if you can. You may not get the right view of a doctor from just one visit, so if after one visit, you think this may not be the right person for you, you might consider allowing there to be another couple of visits to get a feel for the type of relationship you two might enjoy. If you're thinking about switching doctors, I would recommend thinking it over a little bit longer. Perhaps discuss with your doctor the areas of concern that you have with your relationship. For example, you might bring up a discussion, such as, "I find it hard to get a hold of you," "You didn't call me back," "Your hours are not compatible with my schedule." So I think to have an open dialogue with your physician about what your expectations are and then bringing those to the attention of your doctor can be very helpful.
Thanks, Dr. Colgan. I'm Sharon Boston. My guest today has been Dr. Richard Colgan. He is a family medicine specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Dr. Colgan is also an associate professor of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

Yes, it's true. My body is…wait for it….imperfect. I know that's shocking with me being a 40-something mom of two and all but, you know. Biology. It's no secret that I've always been a big Spanx fan, so I haven't really found much need to venture into the rest of the world of shapewear. But then I had the chance to try Sculptz, and wow, call me impressed.
The shapewear tights are a far cry from the control top L'Eggs I remember dabbling in (before I needed them) – the shaper top is super comfortable, and really does uh, hold you in quite nicely. As for the tights themselves, I thought they were comparable to Wolford quality which accounts for the price–the weave is even and luxurious, and the colors are so beautiful, I find myself planning outfits around plum legs.
I'm loving the pattern tights which are so hot right now; check out the ribbed tights which are on sale now for 30% off.The opaque leggings look like another winner, made with a high-quality 70 denier fabric, and I'm looking forward to the new Sculptz styles coming out for spring.
Yes, so the name lives in Spanx-wannabe land. But you know, my butt doesn't seem to really care. –Liz

Controlling Vultures
Vultures are often called buzzards. In North America, we have Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) and Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura) which sometimes can be found in groups together.
At times, vultures will roost in large groups of 100 or more on trees but typically hunt by themselves during the day. Humane vulture removal methods can only be done with special permits.
Should You Try To Scare Away A Vulture Or Buzzard?
The name buzzard is nothing short of a derogatory name for an animal that gratefully consumes stinky carcasses and nasty road killed animals. These large birds offer the planet a valuable service - they serve as super garbage disposals for our earth. Even when no other animal can find food, vultures can find a single dead animal and draw in twelve to a hundred feathered friends also wanting a bite... do not attempt to scare them away. Scaring a vulture will only make matters worse, causing them to vomit and then stay around longer to consume the vomit.
How To Get Rid Of Vultures
Many towns experience vultures roosting by the hundreds and being a scary nuisance. The Skunk Whisperer® has consulted with several towns in different parts of the U.S. to help them get rid of vultures, but the request is always worded, "get rid of buzzards". If you have a nuisance buzzard or vulture problem and think they can all easily be harassed, killed or relocated, think again - they are federally protected migratory birds and special permits are needed.
Give us a call, we know exactly what to do to get rid of vultures.
Featured Photo
Turkey vultures (photo below) visiting a trail camera aimed at an area that The Skunk Whisperer® had placed 6 droplets of a mixture of catnip essential oil and Civet musk on the ceiling of the cave opening in front of the video trail camera on the left. Video from the camera showed several different groups of vultures coming back for over one week in large numbers looking for the source of the catnip and Civet musk scents which were actually placed there to catch a glimpse of a mountain lion that had recently visited the cave off camera to the left. This cave is located on the side of a steep rocky cliff overhang in thick tree cover. Vultures have a very good nose for finding food sources.

I saw Defiance this weekend. I know I need to start expanding my movie list from box office hits, but there is something that intrigues me about historical nonfiction. I suppose its just knowing that the story actually took place. Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, and Jamie Bell are the big names, and they all performed well in their roles. It really is an interesting story and I plan on reading the book. How did you like this? Do you want to see this?

Found something I know a little about. I thought this movie was great. It wasn't too extravagant and you had the opportunity to have a look inside the life of normal citizens in a world event that seems to focus, especially in the media, on the most "socially important" events, not the people. It is refreshing to watch a movie focused almost entirely on the oppressed citizens and their struggle and triumph throughout a turning point of WWII.

I completely agree. The best way to bring in the audience is to tell a story about people. And this movie did that beautifully.

By Michaela Gibson Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – A series of community dialogue sessions on health care exchanges found the more people understood, the more people thought their families might benefit.
"We saw a pretty big shift in attitude," said Isabella Furth, special projects manager from Viewpoint Learning, which worked with the Mississippi Health Advocacy Program to conduct sessions in Tupelo, Biloxi, Jackson and Greenville in March and April. The organizations were in Tupelo on Wednesday to share their findings at the Link Centre.
At the beginning of the dialogue sessions, only a third of people thought their families would benefit from health care reform; at the end of the day, that grew to 52 percent and included people who identified themselves as liberals, conservatives and moderates.
Nearly 160 randomly selected Mississippians from around the state participated in the eight-hour sessions, which were designed to provide information and help people find common ground. In small groups, the participants worked through pros and cons on health exchanges and how they should be set up.
"This wasn't 'Here's a great law and why you should love it,'" said Heidi Gantwerk, Viewpoint Learning vice president. "In all four rooms, there were still people who felt it should be repealed (at the end of the day)."
At the beginning of the dialogue sessions, few people considered themselves well-informed about health care reform and only five had even heard of health care insurance exchanges, Furth said.
"It didn't matter if they thought the law was a good idea or not," said Furth, but people were about get up to speed fairly quickly during the sessions.
Health care exchanges are central hubs where health insurance plans can be compared side by side and purchased.
It allows for a range of coverage options. Companies would compete on service, price and networks.
"It's a market-driven approach," said Corey Wiggins of the Mississippi Health Advocacy Program.
Mississippi Insurance Department has been proactive in creating an exchange in the state.
Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney has said it was important for the state to create its own exchange instead of having one imposed by the federal government.
"It's been very transparent," said Wiggins, noting the advisory board is a diverse group. The Mississippi model draws heavily from a successful exchange created in Utah.
During dialogue sessions, there were a number of areas of common ground.
The participants thought it was important that the exchanges were open to individuals shopping for health insurance.
They wanted a broad range of choices to address the broadest range of needs and budgets.
There was great distrust of federal and state government, as well as insurance companies. Participants felt the exchanges should be overseen by a public-private partnership and include significant oversight.
"Because of the level of mistrust, they felt very strongly about oversight," Furth said.
They saw a big role for trained, certified navigators who would help people shift through the choices in a health care exchange.

Stumbling Stones Uhlandstraße 2
(Germany - Hessen - Frankfurt am Main)
These memorial-stones (so-called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Moses Moritz Cohn (born 1873, murdered in Theresienstadt on 24-9-1942)
Gustav Zuntz (born 1891, murdered in Theresienstadt on 17-5-1944)
Hedwig Zuntz (born 1901, murdered in Auschwitz)
The small copper plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.
In many other cities, mainly in Germany but also in other European countries, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques, and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Frankfurt am Main (in German).

Having been held by the Liga outfit at Mestalla, the veteran coach believes that his troops must work on finding more space against defensively solid teams
Goals from Sofiane Feghouli and Thomas Muller ensured a share of the spoils, but the Germans will have hoped for more having played against 10 men for much of the encounter.
"Valencia defended very well. We could not find space, which gives us homework for the next match. They played very well, but it was a very even match," he told reporters.
"They showed that their players can play at their best. Bayern can and will improve. Lille's win tonight might have influenced our performance, which is perhaps why we didn't play at 100 per cent.
"Valencia are one of the three biggest clubs in Spain and they are never easy to play against. They put in a very good performance."
Meanwhile, Feghouli feels that his team-mates gave a good account of themselves, particularly given the difficulties of playing with 10 men.
"When we look at the course of the game, we are very pleased with this result," he told belN Sport.
"It was a great game, we worked as a unit and were aggressive. We will fight until the end for first place. With my team-mates, we showed the beautiful face of Valencia tonight."

- - Pasterns too long to jump? Pictures*
Pasterns too long to jump? Pictures* Simon is a 10 year old appendix from Alota Gator Bait. He has always been an amazing jumper but the past few years (3-4) he has been left basically completely out of work. I used to get on him every now and then for a quick walk trot but then he had two back to back abscesses, then his feet were left undone for WAY too long (see pics in my other thread on hoof health) now he has shoes on and he is finally sound. I am going to walk him bareback tomorrow and were going to get back into work SLOWLY but I'm wondering when we start jumping, are his pasterns too long? He was a jumper before i got him but I don't want to do anything that would hurt him. http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/...ps43667d90.jpg http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2ec95091.jpg Excuse his horrid feet, I tried a new farrier and IT DODNT WORK OUT Posted via Mobile Device |
125 Attachment(s) I thought you didn't own this horse as per your other thread? Posted via Mobile Device |
They are on the long side, but I wouldn't say too long to jump at all. You should be ok as long as you aren't jumping high, and it will just have to be a part you pay special attention to. However, he's not ok to jump now with his feet the way they are. The shoe job is terrible, the angle of his hooves don't match his pasterns (which will cause stress on the joints), and his feet just aren't in good enough shape at this point to deal with that kind of extra stress. |
384 Attachment(s) I wouldn't even be riding this horse until his hoof problems are resolved and his body condition improves. |
Frankly, I'm much less concerned about his pastern length (they are longer but they have good angle) than I am about those horrible feet. Are those the shoes that your farrier put on him? If so, you need a new farrier...yesterday. |
I DID just say that I am fully aware that his feet are bad and I am getting a new farrier. I also said I will not be jumping him now or until he is ready, which he obviously is not. Posted via Mobile Device |
384 Attachment(s) His pasterns are long, but they are not upright, there is a good slope to them. Should be fine for lower level jumping. Again, I would not even get on this horse's back, he's in no shape to support his own skinny frame, let alone a rider's. |
Agree with all the other posters. Unfortunately it looks like you've learned the hard way that some horses can't be left past due. At all. And that even when you aren't riding you need to keep up with maintenance or when you ARE able to ride your horse wont be ready. I would keep off his back, get his feet in better shape and then start working with him. |
Whoever did your farrier work did it wrong. I'd definitely be asking around for a good farrier ASAP. It takes a long time for hooves to heal after abcesses and it takes regular hoof care to get them back in proper shape, and there also may be internal damage that may take awhile to heal and hopefully when he abcessed he didnt get coffin bone damage. I'd definitely would not get on this horse for any length of time even when the feet grow back out you need to check thoroughly for soundness. Good luck with him. |
I believe, per her other thread she recently bough the horse.... I am no expert on jumping so i will leave that question for others to answer... |

It's about that time of year again when we sing that song you hear in movies and at midnight on New Years Eve. Most of us probably don't know half the words, let alone the meaning. Read the lyrics, some history, and listen to the song below
The song is of Scottish origin, hence the title's ambiguous wording. It is said to be written by a Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788. The literal translation of Auld Lang Syne (Syne pronounced sign) is "old long since.�? It is better translated "days gone by�? or "long long ago,�? or even "once upon a time.�?
Here is the traditional song as written by the Scotsman himself. Most people sing the first verse and chorus, and say "old acquaintance�? and change the last line to "and days of auld lang syne.�?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syneMeanings
auld lang syne – times gone by
be – pay for
braes – hills
braid – broad
burn – stream
dine – dinner time
fiere – friend
fit – foot
gowans – daisies
guid-willie waught – goodwill drink
monie – many
morning sun – noon
paidl't – paddled
pint-stowp – pint tankard
pou'd – pulled
twa – two
Auld Lang Syne Lyrics

An electric motor fires up the biofuel-powered fan, while the flexible wing controls the takeoff process. The bike can reach altitudes of 4,000 feet allowing users the ability to enjoy the great outdoors with a bird's eye view. The vehicle can also reach speeds of 15 miles per hour on the ground, while achieving higher speeds of 25 miles per hour in the air. There is no need for a license to fly this bad boy, and with the ability to take off from virtually anywhere, riders will fully be able to appreciate the 3 hours of flight time.

Grain Inspection:
Industry Views on the Decline in Official Inspections and Inspection Costs
RCED-93-147: Published: Apr 30, 1993. Publicly Released: Apr 30, 1993.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Grain Inspection Service's (FGIS) federal grain inspection system, focusing on the: (1) decline in official domestic grain market inspections and the impact of the decline; (2) inspection fees charged by official inspection agencies; (3) FGIS fees for export inspections; and (4) options for reducing inspection fees.
GAO found that: (1) the number of official grain inspections has declined about 19 percent from fiscal year (FY) 1985 to FY 1992 due to fewer changes in grain ownership because of market consolidation, a trend towards in-house grading because of costs and internal quality assurance needs, greater buyer confidence in sellers' integrity, and fewer grain acquisitions under farm commodity programs; (2) the decline in grain inspections has not caused a decline in grain quality or merchandising integrity; (3) unofficial grain inspection agencies ensure inspection accuracy by having official agencies regrade test samples; (4) the grain industry is unanimously opposed to requiring more official domestic grain inspections; (5) each official inspection agency sets its own fees with FGIS approval, and fees vary widely among agencies; (6) the FGIS fee for supervising official inspection agencies does not significantly impact the agencies' inspection fees; (7) FGIS has developed a less costly inspection alternative for official inspection agencies so they can compete with unofficial inspection agencies; (8) FGIS charges higher inspection fees for exported grain than the official state agencies; (9) FGIS does not correctly allocate indirect costs when setting its export inspection fee; (10) FGIS could reduce domestic grain inspection fees by actively encouraging applications during charter awards, emphasizing fee reasonableness in evaluating the incumbent's performance and selecting the designated inspection agency, and eliminating exclusive territories; and (11) FGIS could reduce export inspection fees by having state-operated and private inspection agencies perform grain inspections, but FGIS believes that its operations have a high level of productivity and that other agencies could not perform the inspections at less cost.

Woohoo! I just got the game, and my I must say that was quick, and for Australia too.
And whats with the mouse pad, its more like there's not much there! Though cute none the less. Ok now with walkthrough in hand its straight for Nanaka's route first. |

Just a little merchandise update. As you probably know, Circus's marketing folks are going all out for D.C. II - they even have a list on their site of all the magazines and issues where D.C. II made the front cover. Not to mention feature stories in many publications, and some mini-posters in Megami Magazine. But, that's not all! They're also throwing special extras in various magazines, and even have a special edition magazine issue just for D.C. II (Dengeki G's Festival Vol. 4)!
Among the extras you'll find in the 84-page full-colour Festival issue is a 70-piece puzzle (featuring Otome & Yume), a train pass cover (featuring Nanaka), and a Yume hugging pillow case! The magazine was nice enough to include the following page to explain how you can use your newly-acquired keepsake: Spoiler for D.C. II Yume pillowcase Q&A:
Here also are scans of the pencil board that was included in Comptiq's June issue. (Not sure how you compare pencil board sizes, but this one's a bit smaller than a normal page - about 10" x 7 1/4" or roughly 25 x 18 cm). Spoiler for D.C. II Pencil Board:
So, there you have it - a very small subset of all of the many, many marketing initiatives Circus has been investing in for D.C. II. That being said, I'm sure it'll all pay off handsomely for them in the end. The D.C. franchise has never been stronger. |

Hmm, Maya... Mayuki...
(Why do I get interested in the characters that aren't "winnable"? DCPC II should better have them...) Anyway, I have recently started on this game, going for Nanaka's route first (aren't we all?). Interestingly, our player Yoshiyuki Sakurai, his name, similar to Yoshino Sakura isn't it? More interestingly also, he even has a face and a voice in the "Da Capo" mode (D.C. path). Da Capo mode seems to be: Spoiler:
Yume looks certainly interesting. I love it when she's in meganekko-mode at home.

Grief makes a Franco-American man do strange things in "Maddened by His Absence," the initially intriguing feature fiction debut of Gallic actress-turned-helmer Sandrine Bonnaire.
Grief makes a Franco-American man do strange things in "Maddened by His Absence," the initially intriguing feature fiction debut of Gallic actress-turned-helmer Sandrine Bonnaire. Pic stars Bonnaire's real-life partner from the 1990s, William Hurt, in a meaty role as a man returning to France eight years after the death of his child, and still consumed by the tragedy. If Hurt doesn't quite pulloff a Kristin Scott Thomas, it can be blamed more on the writing than on his impeccable, mostly French-language perf. Francophone arthouses will sign on, though the screenplay problems will make it a tougher sell overseas.
Pic's early going, in short, extremely clipped scenes, suggests that time can't pass fast enough for Jacques (Hurt), who has come back to Gaul from the U.S. to deal with his French father's funeral and inheritance. The middle-aged, Boston-based architect decides to take the opportunity to seek out French logistics worker Mado (Alexandra Lamy), with whom he fathered a child who died eight years earlier; he hasn't been in contact with Mado since. Not only is Jacques not over the loss of the boy; he still feels responsible for the accident that killed him. (His own father's death, by comparison, seems to have no impact on him at all.) Mado, on the other hand, has moved on, forming a new family with Stephane (Augustin Legrand), with whom she has a young son, Paul (Jalil Mehenni). By juxtaposing these two simple elements, and throwing in some solid early scenes that suggest the couple's bond was a strong one, and that it was the tragic death of their child more than any fundamental relationship problem that drove them apart, Bonnaire, who also directed the feature docu "Her Name Is Sabine," has quite the setup for a captivating psychological drama. But her screenplay, co-written by Jerome Tonnerre ("My Best Friend"), doesn't come up with anything more insightful than having Jacques see in Paul a substitute for what he has lost, which motivates him to secretly move into the basement of the apartment building of Mado's new family. Absent any opportunity for deeper character insight, the only suspense of the story is generated by the question of how long Jacques can keep from being discovered. Greatly aided by the beautifully lit chiaroscuro photography of Belgian d.p. Philippe Guilbert, leads Hurt, Lamy and little Mehenni let their expressive eyes do a lot of the talking, especially in the expository first half-hour, when Bonnaire leaves room for quite a few unspoken things to hover in the air. All three thesps bring more depth and nuance to the table than what must have been on paper, with Mehenni easily holding his own opposite Hurt and comic actress Lamy, working in a convincing dramatic register here (she's probably best-known Stateside as the gorgeous wife of Jean Dujardin). It's a shame, then, that the pic doesn't really take its characters and story anywhere interesting, and starts to feel overlong and repetitive before coming to a rather perfunctory close, with the character of Stephane particularly slighted. Technically, the pic is slick.Maddened by His Absence

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria's finance minister says President Goodluck Jonathan's visit to China will finalize $1.1 billion in low-interest loans for much-needed infrastructure in Africa's giant, from airports and roads to a hydropower plant.
Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told The Associated Press she is also looking for Chinese investment and increased trade with Nigeria.
She also said "China is desirous of increasing its lifting of Nigerian oil." The petroleum minister is among senior Cabinet members on the trip along with several state governors. She said as U.S. demand for Nigerian oil has fallen, India and China have taken up the slack.
Okonjo-Iweala said the loans are part of $3 billion approved by China at interest rates less than 3 percent.
She leaves with Jonathan Monday night for the four-day visit starting Tuesday.

While re-examining our core values, The "Great" Debate identified a new core value to address-the ability to offer an affordable, but highcaliber education.
"The cost of a Rose-Hulman education is of the utmost concern. How we deal with that will determine our future," says Former Alumni Trustee Representative Jeff Burgan (CHE, 1977). "That was a repeated issue raised as I spoke with alumni from every age group and location. The cost of our education has increased at a greater rate of inflation than the starting salaries of our graduates," he continues.
Addressing this issue, President Robert A. Coons states, "A personalized, cutting-edge technology education is a very expensive proposition. We invest more than one million dollars annually just to ensure we have state-of-the-art labs."
He continues, "Our quest is always to be equipped with technology that's ahead of most industries-so our graduates have an edge when faced with the demands of the real world."
Clearly, sacrificing our high standards will not be the answer. Coons points out two interrelated factors when addressing affordability and the institute's current financial model: our endowment dollars per student are not nearly as high as our competitors and other private premier schools; and Rose-Hulman has not had a comprehensive fundraising effort for nearly a decade. This lack of adequate resources has had an impact on scholarships and technology enhancements.
"Many top schools guarantee that they will meet the demonstrated financial need of all their students," explains Coons. "While we compete academically for students that may ultimately attend any of those fine institutions, we can't currently compete with their endowment resources."

What an incredible week of spectacular weather. This already makes up for last year's non-summer. But, like all Juneauites, I want more. So I don't want to jinx this year's 'sum..m' by talking about and wishing for it too much. This is because I can remember exactly where I was a year ago to the date. All I wanted for my birthday celebration was a sucker hole. I was denied by the persistent grey weather.
However, this summer is not to be denied!
Isn't it great to see Juneau at full play? Sailboats on the channel, fishermen perched on the rocks, bicyclers out in force, longboarders on the street. Already this week I've been hiking and kayaking. However, when I am not playing, I'm sitting in my garden as late as I can; enjoying the rush of colors brought on by my "English Garden." Like homes on tiny lots in England, I have a small landscaped garden that looks out on the street where I visit with my neighbors walking by. It's a wonderful time of connection. As the English say with such conviction and pitch, "It's all quite lovely." So much so that I sometimes find it hard to be anywhere else.
However, I did get motivated to seize the moment when I discovered the cabin at Cowee Meadows was available this week. Soon my slice of garden repose was outdone by perhaps one of the loveliest gardens in all Southeast… Cowee Meadows. The iris, lupine, chocolate lilies, shooting stars, sweet pea, nagoon berries and germanium were all out and rather than bloom from nice landscaped plots these flowers captivated large fields framed by rugged mountains… simply grand. And instead of visiting with people, I walked over to the beach to watch whales, seals and eagles go by like the neighbors on my street. Peaceful. Friendly.
From my decades of living in Juneau, I know that it these quiet moments of splendor, of connection to all my neighbors that rejuvenate my soul. It is vital to my 'keep on keeping on' whether it is a column to write, a dinner to make or meetings to attend; these connections of peaceful moments get me there.
While your spot and activity may differ, I think you will agree that these full sun rejuvenation times are to be treasured. Knowing this, I could not send in the first column I wrote. It is a serious column about a serious topic. It will keep. This is a time to be light and joyful. To be in the moment of sun.
The eagles began to dive for fish, loudly screeching in delight. The seals let their curiosity bring them in close to shore; to be with me. In a nearby stand of alders, songbirds greet the evening light. Taking all this in I found myself blurting out Etta James' classic, "At Last." Yes, sing it bold and piercing like Etta James… a-a-t l-a-a-s-st. At last summer is here!
Oops, I almost forgot, I don't want this to be all of summer… just the start. So my advice is to go online, play the song, step outside and sing "At Last."
If you have Googled the lyrics you may discover that if you change just two words in the first stanza the lyrics work for this summer:
"At last (replace 'my love' with) the sun has come along
My (replace 'lonely' with) grey days are over
And life is like a song."
The next line needed no editing.
"At last the skies are blue."
Keep on playing Juneau. The serious column will follow.

* Abu Dhabi overtakes Bahrain as destination for F1 sponsors
* Bahrain is big payday for the sport
* Local organisers say ticket sales up on last year
By Keith Weir
LONDON, April 12 Companies who help to bankroll Formula One motor racing are limiting their involvement in the Bahrain Grand Prix this month, saving some of their marketing dollars for less politically sensitive races.
The grand prix was cancelled in 2011 following a bloody crackdown on a pro-democracy uprising, but sponsors were left squirming last year when the sport's rulers ignored calls by campaigners in Bahrain and abroad for teams not to race, while police and youths staged nightly clashes with teargas and petrol bombs.
The race on April 21 will again draw attention to the human rights situation in the Gulf island kingdom. Taking a pragmatic approach, many sponsors will make the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in November the focus for their Formula One promotional activities in the Middle East this year.
"Abu Dhabi has taken a lot away from Bahrain. Notwithstanding the trouble in Bahrain, the Abu Dhabi race is more interesting for sponsors," said Jim Wright, a sponsorship consultant who worked in the sport for 18 years.
Bahrain was the first Middle East country to host a grand prix in 2004, but Abu Dhabi joined the calendar in 2009 with the Yas Marina circuit, lavish even by Formula One standards.
"The timing at the end of the year is also an advantage for Abu Dhabi," added Wright. "Now, it's starting to be spring (in Europe), and sponsors have an opportunity to take people to races in Barcelona and Monte Carlo next month," he added.
Bahrain has been hit by unrest since pro-democracy demonstrations in early 2011, inspired by the broader regional "Arab Spring" protests that to date have forced rulers from power in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen.
Critics say staging the race hands a propaganda boost to Bahrain's rulers, though last year's, despite dressing itself in the slogan "UniF1ed", was seen as a public relations setback for the government, with television images of the unrest and heavy police presence broadcast around the world.
Two well known brands will be missing from the McLaren team at the Sakhir desert circuit in Bahrain, though the companies involved say they are not making a political point.
Diageo says its Johnnie Walker whisky brand will not be on display because of local cultural sensitivities about alcohol.
"In common with other Grands Prix in Muslim countries and elsewhere, for the Bahrain race we had always planned to respect local customs and laws and not to activate Johnnie Walker branding on the cars or drivers," a Diageo spokeswoman said.
Vodafone, which also sponsors the McLaren team, said logos of its Middle East partner Zain would feature on the team's cars and driver uniforms in Bahrain rather than its own brand.
This was a commercial decision rather than a political one, said Vodafone, which is ending its sponsorship of the team at the end of the season.
Formula One, built into a hugely successful business by Briton Bernie Ecclestone over the past four decades, makes most of its money from fees paid by venues to host races and from television rights.
Bahrain pays an estimated $40 million annually to be part of the 19-race calendar, making it a valuable fixture for the sport. Ecclestone said last week he had no concerns about the race this year after Bahrain's opposition and government resumed reconciliation talks in February.
The CEO of the Bahrain International Circuit also struck a bullish note after a race held against a backdrop of half-empty stands last year.
"Ticket sales, for example, are way above last year's ticket sales, so there are positive signs there," Sheikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa told Reuters.
"This is a big thing for Bahrain, and at the same time it puts the Kingdom of Bahrain on the map of the world," he added.
The race itself is sponsored by Gulf Air, Bahrain's national carrier, which is part of the portfolio of its sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat. The fund also owns a stake in the McLaren team.
Corporate guests attending Formula One races get a chance to rub shoulders with drivers like world champion Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton in the paddock area behind the pit lane, enjoying gourmet food and the best seats in the house.
That comes at a price. Weekend hospitality packages for Bahrain are available online for more than 2,800 pounds ($4,300)($4,300), including free ear plugs. There have been few takers, according to industry sources in Britain.
Caution seems to be the unspoken word among sponsors, normally keen to talk up their involvement with the sport.
Oil company Shell, a sponsor of the famous Italian Ferrari team, said its involvement in Bahrain would be the same as last year, sending only three technical analysts to provide support on fuel and lubricants.
Swiss bank UBS, a global sponsor of Formula One, will not host any clients in Bahrain, focusing its hospitality in the region on the race in Abu Dhabi.

Urban Garden Party Kickoff held last Tuesday
February 24, 2014 9:56 PMOften touted as one of the best parties every year, the 17th annual Urban Garden Party Kickoff last Tuesday promised to deliver on this year's big bash to support The Mattress Factory art museum. Sarah Thomas, one of this year's chairpeople, said she was inspired by the magic of the Mattress Factory to become part of the fundraiser.
The Wild West will be the theme for this year's party June 20 (Dolly Parton impersonators, anyone?). Rumor has it there will be a mechanical bull, sure to be a hit with the 1,400 people expected to attend, along with live entertainment and food and drink from more than 40 of Pittsburgh's best restaurants and caterers.

Is it wrong if I just noticed Aisa was in that pic?
I supposed she'd be: I thought she'd be some sort of funny character, but she was just a TV girl. Anyway, can you guys tell me more about Itsuwa? What's her background? How's her personality? For some reason, she's been catching my attention lately.
2008-12-15, 11:30 | Link #79 |
@ used can
I'll list some of Itsuwa's info so you migt get some Idea about her :3 - She's usually shy. (yes, usually) - She's got romantic feelings for Touma - There's a strong possibility that she's above 18 year of age since she could operate motorcycles, mini-boat and even a helicopter. (If it happens that she have a License for them. Which, would make her older than Touma :3) - She uses Friulian spear in combat. - She's quite well endowed, according to Tatemiya Saiji - A great cook too. (She even makes Maika treat her as a rival. Remeber that Maika is First class maid-in-training.) - She respects Kanzaki Kaori as their priestess but according to her, she wont give up Touma to their priestess :3 ("...ganbarimasu!") - Now, she's quite scary when she's pissed; her manner of speaking changes drastically and she becomes aggressive. (Is it just me who thinks that girls from Amakusa Catholicism change their personalities drastically when they're pissed? " 'ruse-ndayo doshirouto ga!" - Kanzaki Kaori) WEll, one things for sure, she's a great girl :3 Last edited by ken_FF; 2008-12-15 at 11:32. Reason: typo |

Man, she sounds quite awesome (also, the well endowed trait should be blatant after looking at some of her pics, dohoho). Ah, to think we'll have to wait 1 or 2 years before she shows up in the anime...
I believe I should stop being lazy and finish learning those kanjis.

StreetDance is the latest dance movie to hit the big screen in recent years as it brings together the talent of the likes of George Sampson and Flawless.
In order to win the Street Dance Championships, a dance crew is forced to work with ballet dancers from the Royal Dance School in exchange for rehearsal space.
As experienced music video directors, Max and Dania had worked with some of the UK's best street dancers on previous projects, and they brought that knowledge to StreetDance. "We had worked with some of the dancers and most of the extras before," explains Dania.
"It makes for a great atmosphere on set, adds Max. "It's a family vibe. But nobody was cast just because we know them. We went through weeks of really rigorous auditions."
In fact, the audition process for the film was unique in that open auditions were held up and down the country to find the UK's best street dance talent. "We set up a website to advertise the auditions and, almost immediately, it crashed because so many people had tried to apply," says Richardson, shaking his head in disbelief.
"We eventually auditioned over a thousand people in cities around the UK, including Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. Then the shortlisted ones went down to London and we started whittling it down. It's a really tough audition because not only do you have to be an amazing dancer, but also you have to be able to act."
"The whole process took weeks," says Dania. "But there were certain people that we called in to do a closed audition because we really wanted them, like Steph Nguyen, who plays Steph in the film. In real life she's a b-girl champion.
"She won one of the biggest world championships in street dance, the Juste Debout in Paris. To have won that competition against all those guys; she's phenomenal."
But Richardson admits the biggest casting challenge was finding someone to play the lead role of Carly. "I saw Nichola Burley in her first film, Love + Hate, back in 2005," he explains.
"And I remember thinking that she completely stole the film so I was keen to find something to work with her on. Then, completely coincidently, the casting director, Gary Davy, put her forward for StreetDance.
"Of course, I knew that she could act, but I didn't know she could dance, so we put her through some gruelling tests to make sure she could handle it. Kenrick Sandy, our street dance choreographer, really put her through her paces."
Burley admits that the audition process was terrifying. "I had several auditions and, when I saw the standard of dancing, I was blown away," she says. "It was scary to watch because I knew that I was up against them in the dancing part of the auditions.
"I've danced since I was very young, and I trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, so I am a trained dancer but mainly in ballet, contemporary and jazz. I soon realised it's all about how you hold yourself. Movements in contemporary dance are very fluid and continuous, whereas street dance is quite rigid, so you have to retrain your body."
Richardson says that one of the best things about the film's unique audition process was that it threw up lots of fresh, exciting new talent, and some fun surprises.
"During the casting process, we kept adding roles into the script because there were people that we
really wanted to be in the film but there wasn't a role for them," he laughs.
"George Sampson is the obvious one, but we also created the role of Isabella for Rachel McDowall and the role of Steph for Steph Nguyen."
And, of course, there was always a key role for dance troupe Flawless, who play The Surge, bitter rivals to Carly's crew in the film. "James came to us at first because he wanted to know more about the UK dance scene," explains Marlon 'Swoosh' Wallen, the choreographer behind Flawless.
"He'd had this idea for quite some time, but he wanted to know what actually goes on: how it works with regards to competitions and what we go through. Then he asked us to come on board as the Surge crew, and we were very happy and excited to do that."
So, after such an arduous audition process, Richardson must have become something of a street dance expert himself? "No, no!" he laughs. "In fact, I have actually gone out clubbing with some of these dancers and it's the most humiliating thing on earth.
"It's not like going out with your friends: these guys are the best dancers in Europe. Very

Al Qaida takes advantage of Yemen crisis to resurface
Dubai: After some years of relative silence in the region, Al Qaida seems to have resurfaced, taking advantage of political instability in Yemen.
The regrouping of Al Qaida in Yemen comes after it had been targeted in Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Iraq.
"Yemen, from a historical and factual perspective, has been a home to jihadists around the world," Dia Rashwan, an expert in Islamic movements, said.
"In the past couple of years we have witnessed a retreat by Al Qaida in different places," Rashwan told Gulf News. But he said things are changing and it seems as if Al Qaida is resurfacing.
Suicide attacks
Yemen said its security forces and warplanes had foiled a series of planned suicide bombings by attacking targets, including the Al Qaida training centre, last Thursday.
The air strike was carried out with American military and intelligence assistance, Yemeni officials confirmed.
Al Qaida responded with a rally in southern Yemen announcing that its war was with the United States and not the Yemeni army.
"There is a serious approach from the state to face Al Qaida, its members and to smash them," Yemeni information minister Hassan Al Lawzi told Gulf News. Lawzi termed the cooperation with Washington as "comprehensive and close".
Recent press reports said that Saudi Arabia and the US are worried that Al Qaida is trying to use Yemen as a launch pad for attacks in the kingdom and beyond.
Will the United States' involvement in the fight against Al Qaida hurt or help the group? Do you think Al Qaia can ever be eradicated? Post a comment by clicking on the link below

t was vigilant bloggers who first raised questions about the validity of two Reuters photographs of Israeli military action in Lebanon published last summer. In one, wisps of smoke rising over Beirut seemed identical, as if extra smoke had been added to enhance the image. In the other the accusation was that the number of flares being dropped by an Israeli F-16 fighter had been increased by digital means to make the picture look more dramatic.
It was appropriate then that David Schlesinger, the editor-in-chief of Reuters who took over last month, should use his editor's blog to set out the results of the investigation into the embarrassing charge that the venerable international news agency had issued falsified pictures.
Schlesinger - the first US editor-in-chief of the agency - concluded that smoke and flares had been added to the images. Despite denials, Reuters' relationship with Adnan Hajj, a Lebanese freelance photographer, was ended and all his images removed from the agency's sales database. Reuters' Middle East chief photographer was also dismissed.
"It was obviously very serious from the beginning," Schlesinger says. "What happened with the photographs has never been allowed at Reuters and has always been explicitly a sacking offence."
He denies vehemently the allegation from some bloggers that Reuters tried to deny that the incident had happened, or to delay the response. "It did unfortunately get past our desk. It should have been caught and I wish it had been. But Reuters reacted straight away. We dealt with it."
As a result, the international news agency has decided to spell out its rules much more forcefully, and in particular, the extent to which Reuters staff can use digital manipulation systems such as Photoshop. All have been reminded that "materially altering" a picture in Photoshop or any other image editing software will lead to dismissal. No additions to, or deletions from, original images are permitted, nor should there be any dramatic changes made to the lighting conditions.
But Schlesinger has decided to go one stage further, also partly in response to bloggers and critics, who say there is another form of manipulation - one where events have essentially been stage-managed for photographers. "In the new world we spell out in the captions the circumstances in which photographs were taken," he says.
In the old days, Schlesinger believes, the media would hide comfortably behind their working methods but now people expect a much greater degree of transparency. "If our access is limited we should say that. It gives the context that people need to know to understand the photograph or the news report."
Schlesinger, who is 45, looks and sounds like the academic he was and could have remained. He got his break into journalism by crunching his master's thesis at Harvard and selling it to the Far East Economic Review. A China expert whose wife is from Hong Kong, he has been at Reuters for 20 years, as both correspondent and as an editor. He covered Tiananmen Square in 1989, but by 1995 had become the agency's financial editor for the Americas, based in New York. He missed reporting, but "it became very hard to go back".
He is no stranger to controversies that stretch beyond questionable pictures. In 2005 the Reuters daily briefing to staff carried an extraordinary memo in which Schlesinger, then global managing editor, appeared to denounce Reuters' editorial quality. The agency's news, he said, was seen as having insufficient insight, and both news and data were not differentiated enough from competitors. The memo had been intended for an audience of about 10 senior Reuters executives. "What I was saying was let's not be complacent. We can do a lot better. We must do a lot better. I was trying to make a particular point and was more polemical than I would have been if I had been writing for publication or a wider audience."
There is also the Bangalore issue - what many see as the outsourcing of 1,600 jobs to the Indian city, including those of about 100 journalists, required to process corporate announcements. It was Schlesinger's job to make sure the initiative worked.
It is not outsourcing, Schlesinger argues, because Bangalore is a staff bureau "like any other" and Reuters has been in India for more than a century. "Because of the cost structure we are able to cover more companies than we would otherwise be able to do and the net number of journalists in the US has actually gone up since we moved to somewhere like Bangalore. We have used it to expand coverage."
One of Schlesinger's most difficult tasks is dealing with the US military over the issue of the four Reuters television cameramen who have died in Iraq - all of them the result of US fire.
He is not seeking disciplinary action, merely that the US military acknowledges what has happened and learns lessons. It would help, he believes, if US soldiers received more training on such things as the difference between a television camera and a rocket launcher. "We have constructive interactions [with the US military] but need to get to the point where there is real serious working group engagement on what can be done."
The work on staff safety has to go on because Reuters makes its living " by explaining the hot spots of the world" and that inevitably means there will be danger for its journalists. "We must therefore take every precaution possible and make sure we report as safely as possible."

06-25-2011, 04:22 PMThe pogrom known as the Farhud contained many elements that we can recognize in the Arab world in the 21st century. Seventy years ago during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, June 1st and 2nd, 1941, Iraqis rampaged through the Jewish sections of Baghdad, killing between 100 and 600 individuals, injuring countless more, and looting whatever they could.
This was the turning point in the history of Iraqi Jews, who had resided in Mesopotamia for over 2,500 years. In the decade that followed, the community was systematically disenfranchised, robbed, and largely expelled. What lessons does this hold for understanding the Middle...
06-27-2011, 11:24 AMThe question of the Nazi relationship with the Muslim and Arab worlds is far from new. Indeed, even before World War II, British and Zionist officials took note of the relationship between the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, and the Nazis.Liberals: Obama's useful Idiots
If anything, the Muslims inspired the Nazis as well as the other way round. Many of the tools of dhimmitude were recycled by the Nazis. The requirement of being marked in public, for example. This is why so many Nazis were able to fit into the Arab societies after they fled Europe.
Numerous Nazis found shelter in the Middle East, especially Egypt and Syria, after the war, as well as employment in their security services and propaganda ministries. Some even converted to Islam, finding in it the fullest expression of their fascism. In this sense Nazism played a direct role in shaping the modern Middle East.
Three elements drew Arab and Muslim leaders to the Nazis. First was Muslim theological antisemitism, which meshed well with Nazi racist antisemitism. Muslims needed no lessons regarding Jew hatred. The Koran and other Islamic sources are filled with verses reviling Jews as filthy schemers and betrayers of the prophet and calling for their mistreatment and murder. The lengthy history of pogroms against Jews in the Arab and Muslim worlds shows these theological exhortations were taken seriously. New, however, was the language of Jews as vermin and the fantasy of a single global Jewish conspiracy. Treatment of Jews in Germany also emboldened Muslim anti-Semites who were encouraged to prepare their own attacks.--Odysseus

06-27-2011, 03:27 PMAnd Hitler only had about 20 years or so of influence (including time prior to gaining power). The Nazi's had less than a generation to teach and indoctrinate in their ideals. The current Arab world had since been steeped in the anti semetic fascist tradition for more than 3-4 generations. What will they be capable of if they develop their military assets?
The current Arab world has been steeped in anti-Semitic traditions for the past millennium and a half, since Mohammed decided that if the Jews of Mecca weren't going to go along with his program, then they were fair game for slaughter and slavery. The Qur'an and the Hadiths are full of anti-Jewish diatribes and libels, and Islamic jurisprudence assumes the perfidy of Jews in all cases. The Thousand-Year Reich lasted twelve years before being bombed into rubble. The Islamic jihad against Judaism has been going on since the seventh century. At its height, Nazism encompassed most of Europe, but none of Asia and very little of Africa. Islam, at its weakest ebb since the collapse of the caliphate in 1921 has held roughly one-quarter of the world's population in its grasp, and has been expanding steadily into Europe, North and South America and Australia. Anyone who thinks that the Grand Jihad is less of a threat than the Cold War or WWII hasn't been paying attention to history.

The Appraisal Institute was established when the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (AIREA) and the Society of Real Estate Appraisers (Society) unified in January 1991. AIREA and the Society, founded in 1932 and 1935, respectively, were created to help standardize the appraisal process by promoting professional education and upholding high ethical standards.
With 82 years of history, the Appraisal Institute continues to serve as the nation's largest professional organization of real estate appraisers. Through its designation programs, public affairs outreach efforts, peer review process education and publishing endeavors, the Appraisal Institute maintains its leadership position within the real estate industry and continues to be a major contributor in the American -- and now the global -- valuation profession.
