At first blush the jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday looked pretty good, catching establishment economists off-guard by about 80,000 new jobs. Instead of the 160,000 new jobs expected in February, the BLS reported 236,000, which pushed down the unemployment rate to 7.7 percent. This came on top of a drop in claims for unemployment insurance as well, with the four-week moving average of 348,750 new claims declining to the lowest level since March 2008.
Some saw the numbers as exposing as overwrought claims by President Obama and Fed Chairman Bernanke that the sequester cuts would cost the economy some 750,000 jobs. John Crudele, writing in the New York Post, considered these happy numbers as a "blow to the area below Obama's gut. It's hard to rev up fear in people about the job market when they've just heard that things may be getting better."
Not so fast. Though the administration has deceptively fanned the flames of fear regarding the sequester cuts, it must also be kept in mind that the job numbers now in the news do not tell the whole story.
First of all, reports early in the new year are usually fairly robust. In January and February 2012 the BLS reported nearly 600,000 new jobs, but then the economy stalled, with growth in GDP essentially flat-lining in the last quarter of the year.
According to the household survey, where the BLS asks how many are working in a household, 170,000 new jobs were added in February of this year — despite the addition of an astounding 446,000 part-time jobs. What this means is that some 276,000 full-time jobs were lost in February. A Gallup survey released the day before the Labor Department's report noted:
Although fewer people are unemployed now than a year ago, they are not migrating to full-time jobs for an employer. In fact, fewer Americans are working full-time for an employer than were doing so a year ago, and more Americans are working part time.
This may be an effect of the ObamaCare rule that employees working 30 hours a week or more must be covered with health insurance, and as a result of that more and more employers are cutting hours and hiring more part-time people. And as hours are cut, more and more people are seeking a second job to make up the difference. That would be another of those "unintended consequences" of government interference in the marketplace.
An editorial in the New York Times successfully saw past the rosy surface numbers reported on Friday as well. It looked around at where job growth might come from. Housing? Some growth there, from a percentage basis. But when one is at the bottom, everything looks up from there. Car sales? Not so much. Rising wages? Not much help there either.
The Times also noted that the labor force is shrinking, so that whatever numbers the BLS reports aren't real:
Most of the decline [in unemployment] reflects a shrinking labor force rather than new hiring. In fact, if hiring were more robust, the unemployment rate would hold steady or even rise as the estimated four million Americans who are not working or looking for work rejoined the ranks of job seekers, where they would be counted in the official unemployment rate.
Furthermore, those who have been out of work for six months or more actually increased last month. If the economy were healthy, surely that number would be declining.
Even if one could believe that the unemployment report from Friday was accurate, it still falls below the estimated 250,000 jobs needed every month just to absorb new job seekers. It would take many more than that to bring the unemployment rate down significantly, and that just isn't on the horizon.
Until the debate about how to grow the economy changes significantly in Washington from "how do we grow jobs?" to "how do we get out of the way of jobs growth?" the unemployment rate will remain high, extending the impact of the Great Recession far into the future.

Motion-capture technology's changed the way that today's movies, TV shows and video games look and move. Usually, sessions where special cameras and suits upload a person's movement to computers happens in sequestered studios, far from prying eyes. At GDC 2012, mo-cap happened right out in the open and it was a wonder to behold.
Acrobatics and weaksauce fight choreography make sense when it comes to courting game developers, but it's a bit of a weird coincidence that companies xSens and OptiTrack both used dance to draw passers-by. Nevertheless, we can only hope that the people imbuing the characters of tomorrow's video games are as dedicated as the performers you see here.

(CNN) -- He was a Formula One driver who transcended his sport and even 20 years after his death, Ayrton Senna commands the adoration of fans across the world.
This week marks the anniversary of the crash at the Imola Circuit in Italy which took the life of the Brazilian driver, just 24 hours after Austria's Roland Ratzenberger had suffered the same fate.
Tributes have poured in for both drivers, with a memorial service held at the track which claimed the lives of both men on Thursday.
A collection of motorsport legends past and present were in attendance, where a minute's silence was observed at 14:17 local time -- the exact time of Senna's accident two decades earlier.
Fans paid their own tributes to Senna, with many laying floral tributes at the feet of the bronze statue of the triple world champion which sits near the section of the track where he crashed.
Senna's passing was the last time a driver has died as a result of a crash at a grand prix, in a sport which in its formative decades had become infamous for driver fatalities.
"Senna was very important for Formula One, as a driver and a person and his death led to a rapid acceleration in the process of increasing the level of safety in our sport," Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen told the sport's official website.
"That has avoided other tragedies from occurring. Unfortunately however, one cannot change the past, neither for Ayrton nor for Roland Ratzenberger.
"The only thing we can do is remember this champion, whose exploits defined the history of Formula One for a long time."
The Imola Circuit will be open until Sunday for the public to pay their respects to the drivers.

In Brazil, Senna's grave in the city of Sao Paulo was adorned with wreaths and bright bouquets. He was laid to rest in the Morumbi Cemetery.
Senna's sister Viviane, unveiled an Azul Brazilian airline aircraft with the colors of Senna's iconic yellow helmet on its nose.
Vivianne is the head of the Ayrton Senna Institute, which partners with major corporations to give educational opportunities to millions of children across Brazil.
Brazilian football team Corinthians paid tribute to one of the country's most famous sporting icons by walking out onto the pitch in replicas of Senna's brightly-colored helmet ahead of Wednesday's match against National AM.

Don't Give Me That Sanctity Crap!
I've never understood the religious conservatives' fascination with what goes on in the bedroom. It took until 2003 for the Supreme Court to strike down a Texas law prohibiting sodomy and even today, despite the overturning of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and multiple polls showing that a majority of Americans now support a homosexual couples' right to marry, these same religious conservatives continue to use people's private lives as a wedge to drive us apart.
So, what's truly going on here? Do they really feel so strongly about what goes where behind closed doors or is there something more to it?
Sadly, it seems to be the latter even though it has also become cliche. Take the story of Roberto Arango, for instance. The nadir of this sordid tale isn't so much the part where the guy who opposes gay adoption rights posts naked pictures of himself spreading his cheeks on the internet. No, it's the excuse that follows: "You know I've been losing weight. As I shed that weight, I've been taking pictures."
But there's always an excuse, isn't there? There's an excuse for how the gay porn shot ended up on a site called Grindr just like there's an excuse for why people's private lives should be legislated. If you left it up to people like Rick Santorum and Tim Tebow, everyone would wait until they were married to have sex (heterosexual, of course) and even then, it would only be missionary and with the lights off. Yes, this is the same Tim Tebow who kissed a guy full on the lips after the biggest (and only) victory of his NFL career.
It's the height of hypocrisy because the same guys who tell you what you can and can't do in the privacy of your bedroom will get full up in your face if you question why they feel the need to flaunt their faith in front of everyone on the field and millions of TV viewers. They call it their "testimony" but I call it hypocrisy and it's that hypocrisy that makes the "Tebowing" phenomenon so hilarious. It's what makes me laugh whenever I see a replay of Stephen Tulloch sacking Tebow then dropping to a knee to "Tebow" right next to him. It's also what makes me crazy when people start going off on Tulloch and calling him "un-Christian" because of the move. Get out of our bedrooms and get off of Tulloch's case.
Ultimately, the Republicans and especially the religious zealots of the party would be better served if they took a moment and listened to Clint Eastwood. When asked about gay marriage by GQ, he responded, "We're making a big deal out of things we shouldn't be making a deal out of."
Now that, my friends, is a true patriot. Too bad no one actually listens to him. Not like they do Tebow, at least. On the bright side, though, if Tebow continues to play the way he did against the Lions, the only testimony he'll provide is how quickly a QB can get bounced out of the NFL.

Thornton Dial Exhibit
The Virginia Union University Museum Galleries, in addition to a permanent exhibit of African and Oceanic art, are currently featuring the art work of African American folk artist Thornton Dial. The exhibit, made possible through the generous donation of Dr. and Mrs. James Sellman, features watercolors, oil paintings and three dimensional pieces by this important vernacular artist:
Dial is a self taught artist. He was born in rural Alabama in 1928. After the third grade, he left school to work jobs such as digging sweet potatoes and working at a local ice house. As a young teenager, he moved to highly industrialized Bessemer, Alabama.
Dial worked for thirty-three years at the Pullman-Standard Company. He also worked many other jobs such as painting and building houses, laying bricks, cementing sections of highways, relining tin, pouring iron, and fishing commercially.
Dial employs bright colors, spontaneity of line, and humor in all of his works. He works not only in paint, but utilizes found-objects such as electric wires, screens, rope, plywood, and carpets. In addition to painting, Dial uses his talent to build his own houses, make fishing lures, create wooden crosses and cement urns, and decorate his yard with lively constructions.

The Anglo-Martian War of 1895. Mike Brunton with illustrations by Alan Lathwell. Osprey publications 2015, isbn 978-1-4728-1156-1
What if HGWells had been writing a genuine report of a Martian invasion rather then science fiction.
That is the premise of this Osprey Adventure (with a nod towards Quatermass and the Pit and Iron Skies). So everything that you would expect from a traditional campaign series book is here, but with the twist that one side is alien and the whole account is make believe.
Having said that I found this to be one of the best organised and researched Osprey books I have read in recent months!

Tribe Uses Technology to Facilitate Language Learning
With a total enrollment of 3,057 band members, the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Reservation is located in the northeast portion of Wisconsin. Approximately 1,608 members reside on the reservation.
The tribe's Ojibwe language program has been available to those who live on the reservation or in that geographic area, but there has been no way for tribal members living remotely to engage in language learning.
Although Ojibwe is not threatened, the tribe's particular Waaswaaganing dialect of Ojibwe has declined in use over the years, to the point of being at-risk.
To address these issues, the tribe applied for and received an Administration for Native Americans Language grant to launch the "Broadcast Ojibwe to Increase Achievement" project. The project's purpose was to remove barriers to Waaswaaganing Ojibwe language learning, particularly among tribal youth and individuals who live remotely.
In order to provide access to remote language learners, project staff created, recorded, and uploaded 24 Waaswaaganing Ojibwe lessons in the form of podcasts. A podcast is a digital audio file or recording that can be downloaded from a website to a media player or computer. Each Waaswaaganing Ojibwe lesson podcast is comprised of a short story based on a distinct, culturally relevant topic of interest such as food, nature, or traditional cultural activities. Each story contains 20 new terms and 10 new phrases.
Project staff created a website and uploaded the podcasts to www.ojibwelanguage.podomatic.com, where subscription is free for all users. To promote the project and get feedback from subscribers, staff created a Facebook page that eventually garnered 1,186 "friends" and was also used to link directly to the Podomatic site.
Project staff significantly exceeded their goal of 2,000 subscribers, with approximately 3,500 by project's end. This total includes subscribers in regions as far reaching as Alaska, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and China (subscribers' locations were gathered from internet protocol (I.P.) addresses from their home networks).
In order to enhance language learning among tribal youth, project staff worked with teachers and administrators at nearby Lakeland Union High School. Ojibwe was already offered at the school for language credit, but through this project students were furnished with iPods to access the podcasts that had been created.
Project staff also created electronic workbooks with pre- and post- tests to accompany each podcast, and had a goal of 16 students completing the course. By project's end, 34 students completed the course. They achieved an average proficiency rate of 90 percent on post-tests, thereby demonstrating significant language learning. Project staff stated that in addition to increasing proficiency in their native language, many of the students expressed a newfound pride in their culture.
The resources created through this project will have long-lasting benefits. Podomatic is a free hosting site for podcasts and there is no expiration on uploads. As a result, the language lessons that project staff created will be a lasting resource available for future learners.

The operational service life of the Lancaster bomber ended in 1964 when the French military replaced the last of their ageing fleet stationed on the island of New Caledonia, near Australia. The story of Lancaster NX611, now known as Just Jane, was just beginning. It was at this time that a group of aviation enthusiasts devised a plan to return NX611 to the UK. Their dream was realised in May 1965 when NX611 touched down on Biggin Hill runway in Kent, having made the journey from Sydney in Australia.
This film tells the rollercoaster story of the Historic Aircraft Preservation Society (later Reflectaire), as its members tried repeatedly to establish a museum centred around NX611. Featuring archive film and photographs recorded by these members, digitally remastered images show NX611 as you've never seen it before – in flight!
NX611: The Flying Years includes exclusive archive film of engine and air tests conducted to achieve a CAA certificate of airworthiness, in flight film recorded during the aircraft's visits to airfields across Britain, plus visitors that included Richard Todd, Leonard Cheshire and Eve Gibson, widow of Guy Gibson.
Viewers of this DVD will witness the emotional recollections by the few men in England who can claim to have flown in Lancaster NX611.

What is Psycho-Spiritual Therapy?
"There is joy in the transformation when the butterfly in you emerges."
As a spiritual teacher, it is quite natural that I incorporate where required, a spiritual approach to my therapy work. Working towards awareness, understanding and change. We will draw upon the world of metaphysics and talk about the totality of you. Mind, body and spirit.
All of us need others to help us find our way in life. We need teachers and guides, both visible and invisible, to give us hope, inspiration and guidance. Ultimately, however, the answers we are looking for, lie within us, waiting to be discovered.
As a Psycho-spiritual therapist, I work with people on the cusp of change, who want to bring the depths of who they are into their life. I believe that as beings, we are unlimited in our potential and therefore there is no limit to our growth. My view on life and humanity is very positive. But I do not deny our darker side, or what Carl Jung referred to as the shadow. When we polarise with our shadow – turning ourselves into good parts and bad parts – we deplete our potential and disconnect from our true self. We will work together to increase your awareness and strength to face that, which is fearful, disowned or painful.
Through our work together, I will help you see that the painful or hurt places within you, are portals for your greatest growth and transformation. Working as a Psycho-Spiritual therapist allows me to guide you to greater consciousness and feel a sense of wholeness Finding those answers is what Is often referred to as "Inner Work". The result of going inside to know yourself as both a human personality and a divine being is a life-enhancing process.
There is magic in the telling of your story. . .

Multiplicity: Life with Two Autistic Siblings
With an estimated 1 in 88 children [4] in the United States on the autism spectrum, an increasing number of families face the challenges associated with caring for autistic individuals. But what is it like for families that have multiple children on the spectrum? How does this affect interpersonal dynamics, finances, living situations, and marriages? And what is life like for non-autistic siblings? To answer these questions, Autism After 16 spoke with Faith Jegede and Lauren Brown, two women who grew up with multiple autistic siblings.
Faith Jegede is a 25-year-old Londoner, a writer and speaker who works at Premier Christian Radio. Jegede has two younger brothers, Remy, 23, and Samuel (Sam), 17. She's best known for her 2012 TED talk, "What I've Learned from My Autistic Brothers." Lauren Brown is a 22-year-old Californian who works at Surf City Graphics while studying at Cal State University Long Beach. Brown has 20-year-old fraternal twin brothers on the spectrum, Ian and Kyle. Brown is an advocate as well; in February 2013, she created a Facebook page, Autism with Ian and Kyle [5], to help raise awareness of autism.
Family Life and Housing
Where do Jegede and Brown's families live, and how do they manage care for their siblings? Jegede's family has a three-bedroom townhouse in London, where she has shared rooms with both Remy and Sam in the past. Sam, the higher-functioning of the brothers, lives at home with his parents full-time. Sam has strong language skills, yet needs support when it comes to social skills. Remy, who does not speak, lives in a group home a short distance from the family. He transitioned to his first group home "when he was 16 or 17," Jegede says. The move was fueled by challenging behaviors, "tantrums, hyperactivity, intense frustrations." She notes, "I've seen things that I don't believe anybody wants to see, that I'll never talk about in public."
Brown's family also lives in close quarters, as they've recently downsized from a house to an apartment. Ian lives at home, and Kyle has lived in a nearby group home for the past decade. (He comes home for visits with his parents and siblings on weekends.) Brown describes her brothers by saying that Kyle is, "loud and hyper and in-your-face," while Ian is, "very laid back, but he doesn't like to be touched." Before Kyle lived in the group home, Brown says, "He had tantrums, and it was too much. We had our own rooms, and often I'd lock my door to get away." Kyle's behaviors included slapping himself in face, punching holes into walls with his head, and biting others.
Practical Caregiving Supports
Both Jegede and Brown's families have specific structures in place to facilitate full-time care. Jegede's father has his own business, and her mother stays home to care for Remy and Sam. Jegede's brother's received care from respite workers provided by their local government when they were younger. However, Jegede says, these caregivers proved less helpful than hoped: "It wasn't consistent, and it wasn't usually the same person. My parents would leave me with the workers, and I'd teach them how to get used to my brothers, and the next time, they'd be gone!" Jegede is also ambivalent about Remy's current care situation. She appreciates that he has a residential placement, but says, "He was really developing when he was at school; he was involved with music, and had more interaction. Now it's very different. When [individuals on the spectrum] get to 18, schooling ends and caring begins. But [individuals] still need that level of education, and it's not programmed into their daily life."
Brown's family has had a more positive experience when it comes to group homes and a privately-hired caregiver. Both parents work outside the home; Brown's mother is a nurse, and her father as an engineer. Brown says, "We have a caregiver for the after school hours; she's been the most helpful support. She's been with our family for almost 15 years." Brown notes, "My parents are very protective of Ian and Kyle … they wanted to pick someone themselves." And Brown says that the group home staff has helped Kyle mitigate his aggressive and self-injurious behaviors. She says, "Now, instead of biting, he'll give me a hug. He doesn't do tantruming as much anymore. He's had success at the group home."
Financial and Medical Impact
Supporting multiple individuals on the spectrum is costly. Brown's brothers' Social Security [6] benefit checks have helped pay for the cost of their care, but her parents make up the difference. (Brown mentions that her parents will "pitch in" support for Kyle's group home, buying items such as a TV, food, and extra blankets.) Medical issues have also been a factor for the Browns, as Kyle has a seizure disorder. And they've downsized their living space in part so that they will be able to afford care in the future.
Jegede's brothers have relatively few medical issues. Remy has celiac disease, but on the whole, Jegede says, "I know how fortunate [my brothers] are; I've seen the wide range of conditions you can have along with autism." She also mentions financial constraints. Her parents would like to transition Remy out of his current placement, but, she says, "It's really a matter of finances. In our current house, there's not space! Ideally, we'd like to have the resources to support him in the best way possible."
Marital Impact
Jegede speaks candidly about the effect her siblings' care has had on their parents' marriage. She observes, "It's been a challenge, but their relationship got stronger, because they had to act as a unit by force … And they leaned on their [religious] faith." Brown's parents are also married. Yet as noted in the 2011 NIH study, "The Relative Risk and Timing of Divorce in Families of Children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder," [7] parents of multiple autistic individuals have consistently higher levels of stress. The study points out that, "[The] severity of aberrant behaviors may be related to marital dissolution. Having multiple children with an ASD in the family may also increase divorce, as parenting resources may be particularly taxed ..." Families like Jegede's and Brown's face the stresses of dealing with difficult behaviors and supporting multiple individuals.
Additionally, cultural differences have made an impact on both families. For Jegede, growing up in a British household with a Nigerian father and a Barbadian mother involved a culture of privacy. She says, "Autism is something that, culturally, is not expressed openly. My parents are private people; I'm probably the most 'public' person in our family." And Brown says that when her brothers were born 20 years ago, there was significantly less public awareness of autism, and that her family life felt more "private" as a result.
Despite these obstacles, Jegede and Brown clearly adore their brothers. Jegede says, "We have a bond that I don't think I've seen in other brother and sister relationships." She gives Remy and Sam credit for shaping her interests, saying, "[My brothers] made me into the person that I am. I'm passionate about communication. If I didn't have challenges with communication [with them], I wouldn't be this passionate about it." Likewise, Brown speaks about her brothers with fondness in her voice. She says that Ian and Kyle have certainly changed her for the better. Thanks to them, she says, she gives people the benefit of the doubt: "I tend to be understanding if someone's acting different. I don't judge. I just think, 'You don't know their lives.'"
Siblings as Caregivers
As eldest children, Jegede and Brown have helped to care for their siblings from a young age. As Jegede says, "When I lived at home, I would help with feeding, teaching, playing, and potty training." Brown often assists her parents too. For example, she says, "If my dad would go grocery shopping with both [Ian and Kyle], I'd kind of corral them and help. At the house, I'd help with getting ready for bed." Even so, she says that when both brothers lived at home, the family never went out. And only one parent would come to events and holiday celebrations, because Kyle required constant care. Even now, when Kyle is home on weekends, Brown says, "I can't really have friends over, because that's his time."
Jegede also says that it's been difficult to connect her family with her "outside" life. She says, "Some of my friends did not know I had autistic brothers until last year. When we did invite people over, they didn't quite understand the situation, so we ended up isolating ourselves anyway." And the responsibility involved in being an elder sister sometimes set her apart from her peers: "On school days, as soon as I came in the door [to my house], I was a different person, a responsible figure. At school, I could just be a kid." Brown says that it was difficult to invite friends over for visits and sleepovers; though they were "understanding," she felt that it was hard for them to relate to her home life.
Likewise, Jegede says, "I had to grow up very fast, and I didn't realize that until recently. In my late teens, my mom and I had a conversation about it. It was an emotional conversation, because our situation was incredibly intense." In turn, Brown remembers, "Growing up, I had to defend [my brothers], and always watch over them." That continues to this day. She recounts a recent shopping trip, saying, "Ian can't go to bathroom by himself, so I took him into the ladies' room with me. And one lady said, 'What is he doing here?' So I said, 'He's autistic.'"
Looking to the Future
Jegede and Brown are frank about how their siblings' futures are intertwined with their own. Without being prompted, both mention the possibility that they'll become their brothers' full-time caregivers. Brown says, "After our parents pass away, I'll take care of [my brothers]. They probably won't live with me, but if they ever have to, then for sure, they can." Jegede and her fiancé are moving to the United States, and she's lost sleep over the effect this major transition may have on her brothers. However, she says, "If we have to move back to England to care for [my brothers], we'll do so." In contrast, Brown says, "I'll always stay close to [my brothers]. I love California. They're here, and I'm not going to move them across the country."
And when Jegede and Brown consider starting families of their own, they do so with their brothers in mind. They ponder both their commitment to care for their autistic brothers as well as the odds that their children will have autism. (Though autism has a genetic component [8], heritability remains complex. Children of siblings may have an increased likelihood [9] of being autistic, but little more is known.) When asked how if they think about the possibility of having children on the autism spectrum, Jegede says, "All the time! I definitely want children, and I do get concerned about the prospect." Even so, Jegede and her fiancé are open to the possibility. She says, "We rest assured that God's in control, and I try to 'edit out' the rest. And I think about introducing [my children] to my brothers, helping them know how to love all kinds of people." Brown is undecided, saying, "I think about one day having my own family, but it kind of scares me. But I like the idea of including my brothers in my family life. It would help teach my kids acceptance."
Their responses are different, yet both women want to connect their brothers with their future families. Both imply that their children will have much to learn from their autistic uncles. They believe that their brothers have a place in their future, as they do in their hearts. And that belief is, perhaps, one of the greatest gifts that having multiple siblings on the spectrum can give.

text: Friday, September 13, 2013 New APTA Resources Focus on Physician Self-Referral Activity on physician self-referral, in particular efforts regarding the exceptions to the in-office ancillary services (IOAS) exception to the Stark self-referral laws, has ramped up this year, and APTA has new online resources to help members understand federal self-referral efforts and get involved. New on APTA's Self-Referral webpage: "Take AIM" video alert features APTA President Paul Rockar Jr, PT, DPT, MS. Prezi presentation visually walks you through the issue. "Self-Referral 101" takes a more textual approach to explaining the issue. You'll also find APTA's position paper on self-referral, news items, and links to the Government Accountability Office reports that implicate financial incentive in physical self-referrals to prostate cancer radiation therapy, advanced imaging, and anatomic pathology services. (A fourth report, on self-referral in physical therapy, is due this fall and will be posted here as well.) Comments when are we as an organization going to stop spending so much time and money on physician self referral?! Hospitals and large health systems self refer (as do many PT clinics/corporations) and we are not railing against them! We have been having this push since I was in PT school over 25 years ago and it is getting old--that we spend what we spend on THIS and yet our public still doesn't understand what a PT does, why they might need one and what on earth a "Doctor" of PT does or is!!!!!!!! I recently went to APTA website for resources and was appalled at how little was there and how utterly uninformative it was. Many of the "public" brochures and links contain only text and are seriously lacking in useful content! Our dues are terribly expensive and it is clear that too much is going to administrative and political expenses and not enough where it can help the PTs in the trenches. So much rhetoric, so little action in the direction of truly promoting our profession in the eyes of those who need to understand it--our patients, our public. Posted by Beth on 9/15/2013 9:34 PM I could not agree more, Beth. There are more pressing issues within the profession and the APTA is not assisting where needed. I feel the physician self referral issue is the focus of the APTA internally and not of the PT professionals themselves. Please focus on areas of concern that affect the overall survival of the profession and the quality of care issued to our patients. Posted by Laura on 9/16/2013 11:40 AM There is a long history behind why physician self-referral is an issue that strikes at the very heart of our survival as a profession...in Texas, a patient must still have a referral to see a PT, and the physician may own their own PT...I'm flabbergasted that anyone in our profession can't understand the conflict of interest and the implications of this situation...it limits our profession's ability to attract our customers (patients) and the patient's ability to get to a provider of choice...it affects insurance reimbursement, and negatively impacts the overall cost of healthcare...without writing a book, the insurance industry and other non-PT entities have outlined this even since the 1980's...there is ample evidence of what I have stated...these were not my original thoughts! If we have no control over our own profession, and are simply employees of another profession, it doesn't bode well for our ability to survive and grow...many other professions already know this...why are we so slow to come to the understanding? Our dues, as a percentage of income, are a fraction of most other professions...and while it does "pinch" to pay up...I am adamantly in favor of my dues going towards the issues that I believe are key...direct access (patient choice) and self-referral...many of our other issues (including reimbursement) are affected by these two. I do agree with you, however, that we are not doing a good enough job with promoting our profession to the public...also very important. Posted by Patti L. Schwartz, PT on 9/17/2013 1:46 PM Physician self referral really hurts private practice physical therapists. Yes, hospital systems also self refer and this, too, hurts private practice physical therapists. I applaud the APTA for their efforts to try and limit self referral while also agreeing that more time and attention should be spent on teaching the public about physical therapy and working with insurance companies to make copay's and deductibles more affordable so that patient's will actually be able to use the physical therapy benefits that insurance companies say they have. Posted by Suzanne Foxx on 9/17/2013 4:16 PM I really can't see how a Prezi or a video is going to do anything to slow or stop POPTs. Isn't this all tied back to Medicare "physician status" that the APTA chose to give up on? Posted by Joshua on 9/17/2013 5:27 PM In office ancillary services exception (IOAS) is very important move by APTA. I support it fully. This the reason why Physician wants physical therapy under their control- no direct access. It is golden goose for them. why they should leave alone. How long you work does not matter. What matters is result. This profession must be independent.As regard knowing physical therapy to people. This another subject. It is APTA's responsibility to educate people. Posted by Deepak sardey on 9/18/2013 8:31 AM I think as clinicians we can do enough on our own locally to promote ourselves by the care we can deliver. One problem with self referral is that Medicare - who we all depend on, is going broke!! I don't think you would find many PT's in private practice that don't think POPT's is a big deal. The thing is you have to strike when you can. And there is a bill out there to close the loophole - hence the need for attention. Posted by dano napoli on 9/18/2013 11:01 AM I know that self referral can be overutilized by clinicians but a law like this will hurt the people who are doing it right. The physician I work with respects our profession and my input on my treatment of our vestibular patients and when they are ready to discharge. He hires only staff who are qualified to treat the vestibular patients he sees. Having the whole treatment team here in the office is beneficial because I can get a lot more information from him about a patient than if we have to exchange emails and phone calls. Moreover, our patients love the convenience of coming to one site for the whole treatment. It's also much cheaper than receiving the same treatment in a hospital setting because we don't have the overhead they do. And, as was stated above, hospitals self refer all the time. There needs to be a greater focus on people charging for PT in offices who are not licensed therapist. Posted by Stephanie Ford on 9/19/2013 2:03 PM

Toxic Mold
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2005 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 01, 2005
Q.We just moved into a brand-new house in April, and paid more than twice what we paid for our last house. Our four-month-old house has had flooding underneath it. We attribute this directly to • lack of gutters; • pier construction technique (the house has a crawlspace with the floor supported on concrete blocks, or piers), resulting in only a single layer of protection against water (one layer of brick veneer); and • an unusually high amount of rain this year, potentially raising the water table. There is mold now growing in our garage, and water under the house after a rain (see photos).We notified the builder two months ago, and he has not done anything; he seems unwilling to take responsibility. We also told him that my wife, who is 37, is pregnant and due in January. Because of a past medical condition, it is a high-risk pregnancy. We had a water specialist come to the house, ...

*1/2 (out of four)
Steve Carell can be hilarious and seems like a very nice guy. However: From "Evan Almighty" to "Dan in Real Life" to "Get Smart" to "Dinner for Schmucks" to "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," he's lousy at picking starring roles.
Carell's leading-man wins ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Date Night," "Crazy Stupid Love") still can be counted on one tripod after "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," an example of what happens when writers have minimal knowledge of or interest in their subject. Written by Jonathan M. Goldstein and John Francis Daley of the likewise mediocre "Horrible Bosses" (which soon will get a sequel, hooray), "Burt Wonderstone" stars Carell as the tanned, egotistical title magician, whose adolescent enthusiasm vanishes after 10 years of headlining at Bally's in Vegas. His partner and best friend Anton (Steve Buscemi) still gives his all, but the pair has never updated its act, dubbed "A Magical Friendship." That auditoriums full of even mildly intelligent adults ever would have gone for the hokey, easily understood illusions these two peddle for years stands as just one of the complaints that spring to mind when a comedy is not funny.
Of course, "Wonderstone" takes its audiences for fools, so maybe it's a moot point.
With nothing (positive) to say about this bizarre world, Goldstein, Daley and first-time feature director Don Scardino ("30 Rock," "Law and Order") lazily wander away from an early, promising notion of Burt's lifelong need for acceptance. The filmmakers also establish no legitimate competition, suggesting that Burt's rival, Steve Gray (Carell's "Bruce Almighty" co-star Jim Carrey), an annoying blend of Criss Angel and Johnny Knoxville whose magic consists of stunts like holding his urine for 12 days, is a talent-less joke who will go away on his own. (His TV show is called "Steve Gray: Brain Rapist").
The movie struggles to find a reason why someone would love an arrogant jerk like Burt—the unenviable task falls on Olivia Wilde in a throwaway role as Burt's assistant.
You can make awesome comedy out of bad magic, proven by the hapless determination of Gob Bluth (Will Arnett) on "Arrested Development." With a few exceptions, though, legitimate heart rarely comes in a mean-spirited box. The show in the hopelessly stale, shorter-than-it-feels "Burt Wonderstone" didn't need to go on, but it does. And on and on and on.

The top of Mount Corrasi (Supramonte Oliena) looks like a lunar landscape consists of a huge expanse of white-gray limestone with some bush and some rare trees. Its peak reaches 1460 meters above sea level and is the highest in the Supramonte. It stands above a thrill edge and offers spectacular views across the center of Sardinia!
Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily). The area of Sardinia is 24,090 square kilometres (9,301 sq mi). The island is surrounded (clockwise from north) by the French island of Corsica, the Italian Peninsula, Tunisia and the Balearic Islands. Sardinia is a constitutional part of Italy, with a special statute of regional autonomy under the Italian Constitution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinia

Ruth C. Horton Gallery
Pia Fries (Swiss; based in Dusseldorf, Germany) is internationally acclaimed as an undaunted and intrepid artist, whose exuberant paintings integrate silkscreened fragments of 17th century Baroque and Mannerist prints with the gestural rigor and emotional depth of Abstract Expressionism. Characterized by audacious color and thick, pulsating pigment applied with brushes, spatulas, and palette knives, Fries' paintings represent a hybrid fusion of painting and printmaking, figuration and abstraction, and tradition with innovation.
This exhibition presents a selection of paintings and prints from the renowned Pizzuti Collection; CRG Gallery in New York; Christopher Grimes Gallery in Santa Monica, California; and Crown Point Press in San Francisco. More information...

First-year students will showcase their reflections on one of three books in a multimedia exhibition at The Gallery at Penn State Lehigh Valley. "Common Reading, Uncommon Learning" runs from Dec. 8 to 22 and will open with a reception in the gallery from 5 to 7 p.m. on Dec. 8. The reception and exhibition are free and open to the public.
During the first year at Penn State, all students are required to take a for-credit course that serves as an introduction not only to the University, but also to skills for learning and resources available to them. As part of the fall semester course, students were asked to choose from one of three books to read and reflect on during common reading sessions. The assignment culminates with a final project presented in multiple formats -- audio, visual and interactive.
In this exhibition, visitors can see the visual interpretations of personal triumph from a life of poverty and mental illness by the readers of "The Glass Castle," by Jeannette Walls (Scribner, 2005); listen to the personal interviews conducted by the students who chose the StoryCorps-based "Listening is an Act of Love," by Dave Isay (The Penguin Press HC, 2007); and interact with digital posters representing the plight of refugees from the readers of "Outcasts United," by Warren St. John (Spiegel and Grau, 2009).
The exhibition is free and open to the public. The gallery is located on the third floor of the campus at 2809 Saucon Valley Road, Center Valley, and it is open Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, please contact Ann Lalik, gallery coordinator, at 610-285-5261 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hollywood star Kevin Bacon has claimed that he has worked with every major star in Hollywood. Now, some philanthropic souls have made a game out of it. They try to connect every Hollywood star with any other through commonly acted films. The idea is that if Bacon's claim has to stand, he will be the link between everybody. Of course, the claim is a wild exaggeration though he has indeed acted with a very wide variety of co-stars.
Essentially, it is figuring out the Degree of Separation between film stars, where the link is not just any connection but the films they have acted together in.
Nilendu and I chatted about this game and tried adapting it to Bollywood.
As you can see, both of us are serious professionals working in IT and Marketing, always discussing best practices from around the globe and making them relevant to the Indian context!
We realized a few things when we were discussing the game.
Character actors like A K Hangal, Iftekhar, Anupam Kher, Kader Khan and the like are the Kevin Bacons in the Indian scene. Between them, they have been around for huge periods of time and have acted with the entire gamut of stars, starlets and enthu cutlets.
Game Tip: Durable character artistes have the potential to reduce the Degree of Separation big time.
In fact, we have named the Indian version The Hangal Game, after our favourite and India's most durable character artiste – A K Hangal. One observation about the great man is that he still looks and acts exactly the same as he did in his first film!
We also realized that it is pretty much impossible to get a Hangal Score beyond 4, leave alone 6!
Let me show you.
Starting with a simple one: Dilip Kumar and Abhishek Bachchan.
Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan acted together in Shakti. Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan acted together in Sarkar (and many others). So, their degree of separation (Hangal Score) is 2, since you can connect them in 2 movies.
Next one: Neetu Singh and Preity Zinta.
Neetu Singh + Amitabh Bachchan = Yaarana. Amitabh + Abhishek Bachchan = Sarkar. Abhishek + Preity = Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. Hangal Score = 3.
Question: Can we lower the Hangal score? For that, we need to find a guy who has acted with both Neetu Singh and Preity Zinta. Who is that guy? Who else but the Big B.
Yaarana. Amitabh + Preity = The Last Lear. So, Hangal Score can be brought down to 2.
Third one: Guru Dutt and Ranbir Kapoor.
Guru Dutt + Waheeda Rehman = Pyaasa. Waheeda + Amitabh = Trishul. Amitabh + Deepika Padukone = Om Shanti Om. I admit this is a little sly because AB only had a guest appearance in the film. Deepika + Ranbir = Bachna Ae Haseeno. Hangal Score = 4.
Can we reduce? Of course, we can!
Pyaasa. Waheeda + Sonam Kapoor = Delhi 6. Sonam + Ranbir = Saawariya. HS = 3!
The other ones that we discussed were as follows:
Navin Nischol and Dino Morea.
In a moment of inspired genius, Nilendu came up with – Navin Nischol + Anupam Kher = Khosla Ka Ghosla. Anupam Kher + Dino Morea = Dus Kahaniyan. Hangal Score = 2.
Game Tip: Multi-story – multi-starrer – films like Life In A Metro, Dus Kahaniyan, and Darna Manaa Hai go a long way in squeezing the Hangal Score.
Sachin and Tusshar Kapoor.
Again, we got it in 2. Sachin + Amitabh = Sholay. Amitabh + Tusshar Kapoor = Khakee.
The game play rules are simple.
Long Version (Solo Player): Player tries to think up star pairs with the highest Hangal Score. This version needs a gaming group to compare scores and exchange notes.
Short Version (Multi-player): Player A gives Player B a star pair. Player B names the linking films and gets a Hangal Score. If Player A gets a lower score (thanks to an obscure link up his sleeve), he gets a point. Else, Player B gets the point. A timing element can be introduced to entertain the T20 addicts.
What we love about this game is that not only does one need a decent knowledge of Bollywood, one needs to scan the memory fast enough to bring about the connections.
And the game can be made easy or difficult by including clauses like guest appearances allowed / not allowed, co-stars mean being in the same film / same scene and so on. We can even be very star struck and refuse to admit character artistes in the connections but then, what is Hindi cinema without Guddi Maruti, Laxmikant Berde and Satyen Kappu?
In fact, we were thinking of announcing a prize for getting a Hangal Score of 5 or 6. But then, a drinking session at Olypub with us followed by Chelo Kababs at Peter Cat does not really qualify as a prize!
Don't let that dampen you, though!
Think of the oddest pair of stars… or stars who have never acted with Hangal!
Game Tip: Think of present day debutants (few number of films) and pair them with stars from as far back as you can!
Baithe baithe kya karenge? Karna hain kuch kaam –
Aao kheley Hangal Game, le kar Kappu ke naam!

Teams could seek Fric clarification
The big question ahead of Hockenheim is whether any team will lodge a protest against rivals running 'Fric' suspension systems.
It is believed Thursday's scrutineering procedures is the preferred deadline for any protest to be lodged, after teams failed to reach an unanimous position on the technology whose legality has been questioned by the FIA.
Top teams like Mercedes, Red Bull and McLaren have resolved simply to remove the systems from their cars ahead of the German grand prix.
Others are likely to follow suit, like Force India, who according to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport are leaving key developments in the cupboard for Hockenheim due to the Fric controversy.
But according to the Silverstone based team's technical boss Andy Green, there could be another way.
"Every team can ask the stewards for their opinion," he said. "That would be not a protest, but a clarification.
"That way you would know where you stand."

Remember back in our big role-playing games of E3 2011 article, when I called out Bluehole Studios' TERA Online for its fast-paced combat and larger-than-life enemies? Here's a video that explains what I was talking about.

I'm intrigued. You might not be. That's why I've included a 30 screenshot gallery to cover my tracks while I make my escape.
