Toucan Wines: winery information
Winemaker: Doug Timewell
After 25 years of corporate work, Doug Timewell with wife Terrie Leivers planted a 3½-acre hillside vineyard in the Arroyo Grande Valley AVA and launched their winery named Toucan Wines. "We started as home winemakers in 1992 with great Zinfandel fruit". Born in Santa Barbara, Doug met Terrie and returned to their home state of California from Northern Virginia. "After nearly fifteen years of making wine on a relatively small scale, I can honestly say it's still fun – we produce hand-crafted Zinfandel and Petite Sirah wines in very limited quantities." The family-run winery and vineyard is located next to the family home, the vineyard planted to "old clone" head-trained Zinfandel vines grafted from the Benito Dusi vineyard.
Annual Production: 300 cases
See our web site for our new Wine Club
We planted 2700 Zinfandel and 300 Petite Sirah vines in our 3½-acre hillside vineyard in the Arroyo Grande Valley AVA. The Zinfandel budwood was sourced from the 1923 plantings at the Benito Dusi Vineyard in Paso Robles. Our warm-hot days and cool nights produce a rich colored and flavored Zinfandel that compliments food. Please enjoy our wines produced from this tiny estate vineyard.

Charla banged the gavel twice. "We would like to begin the meeting. Please take your seats."
The PTA Association of FatLand all seated themselves in cushioned purple chairs with wings instead of arms.
"I'd like to begin by welcoming everyone to the first meeting of the PTA Association of FatLand," Charla said. "This is not only exciting because it affords us all the chance to work together and meet each other, but also because it gives us a chance to be proud of how far we've come and what we've accomplished. We now number high enough to work in a PTA Association. Bravo!" She clapped. The entire audience applauded.
"One of the most important parts of our meeting tonight," Charla said, "is discussion of how we want our children to be educated in FatLand. I think many and perhaps even most of you know about our campaign to make your kids feel at home in their bodies and with themselves. Now we want to hear from you. We want to hear your concerns about educating your children to be healthy and happy in our fat accepting and celebrating society. We want you to work with us in creating curricula and activities and celebrations and pageants and physical ed programs.
The first item I would like to cover is the campaign I mentioned which tries to make our children feel at home and happy in their bodies."

...recycled, re-invited, revised...what more comes to mind? At the end of last school year, I responded "Yes" to an invitation to attend a one-day (Saturday) Catholic Charismatic Conference, here in suburban Atlanta. It was a day dedicated to "praise and teaching." My heart and mind were renewed. I was taught in a very special way, hard to articulate for me, even with two university degrees (was graduated in 1989 from Brown University, B.A. with Honors; and, again, in 1992, from Vanderbilt University, M.A. with Honors.) that God's Wisdom is truly not human wisdom. I have been thinking and praying lately that I desire and need the Holy Spirit to guide my steps, as we enter in to a new school year. Our children are 15, 13 and 10.
I am a wife and mother. Thanks be to God and to my faithful husband, I have, throughout most of my almost 17 years of marriage been a stay-at-home wife and mother. We began homeschooling 6 years ago and this little work has done so much to enrich our life of faith and grace, within the arms of Mother Church. We try hard to ask God to increase our faith, hope and love. We often fall short and are very human ("in the flesh" as one dear sister in Christ recently expressed to me). His grace is surely enough, and that is an awesome reality indeed. Alleluia!
I enjoy looking at the odds and ends around our house, garage and yard, especially our eclectic mix of furniture, and see how we can move things around, paint something, or use some thing or some place in our home for something a little fresher, a little different from what or where it has been. I think our awesome God, in His infinite creativity, often looks at our lives that way. He is inviting us to change. We know this.
If we set about to plan our daily lives -- daily, weekly, monthly...into retirement-- without Him and the Spirit of God, we will surely "poop out" and find ourselves exhausted and depleted. This has happened to "me and mine" on several occasions. On the other hand, we must turn to his holy mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and hear the Words of her Spouse, "Repent and believe the good news!" The Sacrament of Penance saves us over and over and keeps us humble, secure and free.
This summer 2011, I have been hearing God tell me to turn to Him, to wait on the Lord and let Him fill me with His grace and purpose FIRST, then I can "go out and make disciples of all the nations." Here is the big news that is big and little, at the same time:
We wives and moms are called to make these disciples first and foremost in our homes among brother husband and sister daughter. Among brother son. Among brother dog and sister cat. If I may add, with a bit of reverant humor, among brother dust and sister laundry!
I am off to do some cooking and to pray a morning offering with our son. I hope and pray for renewal in Mother Church, starting with one domestic church at a time.
Please, Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, renew this wife and mother's heart. Bring my heart between your Holy Hearts and make a "heart sandwich". I want my heart to be completely consumed by the fires of Divine Love, so that all evils will be conquered, especially those evils that hatch so close to home through the internet, salacious advertising and music, and general concupiscence. May Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Holy Will be Done in us, as persons and as families, now and throughout all eternity. Amen.

messenger -- I ended up removing some useful window components with it.
Most of my accessories ( Sound controls, character map, calculator, mike
control... etc)got trashed as a result of my stupidity.
What I did: In AD/ Remove utility I went to Ad/ Remove window components checked MSN messenger and did not uncheck few other components by mistake. So they went bye bye. Yes, Not very smart.
Im out of the country and do not have Win XP pro CD with me but I need to restore my accessories some how. I use Skype for business and I cant use it now.
What can be done?
Can any one help please!!!!
thank you in advance

Straining the lattice: Stanford engineers improve electrical efficiency in organic semiconductors
By packing molecules closer together, chemical engineers at Stanford have dramatically improved the electrical conductivity of organic semiconductors. The advance could herald flexible electronics, more efficient solar panels, and perhaps even better television screens.
December 21, 2011
Organic semiconductors could usher in an era of foldable smartphones, better high-definition television screens and solar clothing that turns sunlight into electricity for recharging your iPad. But there is one serious drawback: Organic semiconductors do not conduct electricity very well.
In a paper to be published in the journal Nature, researchers at Stanford led by chemical engineer Zhenan Bao have changed that equation by improving the ability of the electrons to move through organic semiconductors. The secret is in packing the molecules closer together as the semiconductor crystals form, a technique engineers describe as "straining the lattice."
Bao and her colleagues have more than doubled the record for electrical conductivity of an organic semiconductor and shown an eleven-fold improvement over unstrained lattices of the same semiconductor.
"Strained lattices are no secret. We've known about their favorable electrical properties for decades and they are in use in today's silicon computer chips, but no one has been successful in creating a stable strained lattice organic semiconductor with a very short distance between molecules, until now," said Bao.
In the past, engineers have tried to compress the lattices in these materials by synthetically growing the crystals under great pressure. "But, as soon as you release the pressure, the crystal just goes back to its natural, unstrained state," said Bao. "We've been able to stabilize these crystals in tighter formations than ever before."
"Using a process so similar to current industry technology is important, as it could speed these new semiconductors to market," said Bao.
The engineers can then "tune" the speed at which the top plate moves, as well as altering the thickness of the solution layer, the temperature of the lower plate and other engineering factors, to achieve optimal results.
The crystals form in differing structures based on the speed at which the top plate moves. These differences are clearly evident in photographs. At slow speeds, the crystals form in long, straight structures, in line with the direction the top plate is moving. At higher speeds, the crystals form wildly irregular patterns, and at other speeds the patterns resemble tiny snowflakes.
The engineers tested the various crystalline patterns for their electrical properties. They found that optimal electrical conductivity was achieved when the top plate moved at 2.8 millimeters per second, a speed in the middle of the range they tested.
"In comparing the photographs of the crystals, it is not the longest, straightest structures that result in the best electrical characteristics," said Bao, "but the one with a shorter, yet highly consistent pattern."
New structures, new analyses
"We have been able to improve how we analyze the relative brightness of the peaks we can see in X-ray diffraction images," said Mannsfeld. "Previously this was only possible when analyzing relatively big single crystals, but we have, for the first time, been able to duplicate this for very thin films of these crystals."
With improved analysis, the team was able to understand the physics behind the improvement. "Our analysis made it possible not only to see the impact of the strain on the lattice geometry, but also to determine the exact way in which the molecules pack in the lattice. As a result, we obtained a better understanding of why such structures improve the molecule-to-molecule electrical coupling that improves the electrical efficiency," Mannsfeld said.
In the paper, Bao describes her new technique as general enough as to be applicable to other materials that might someday yield even better electrical characteristics in in a wide range of organic semiconductors.
Contributing to the research were Stanford doctoral candidates Guarav Giri and Eric Verploegen; Hector Becerril, a former post-doctoral scholar in Bao's lab; and Michael F. Toney of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.
Funding was provided in part by the National Science Foundation, Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, Global Climate and Energy Project at Stanford, and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

Streaming Windows Media through Mozilla Firefox on Novell Linux Desktop
Novell Cool Solutions: Tip
By David Chenworth
Digg This -
Slashdot This
Posted: 8 Mar 2005
This article discusses what needs to be done to get streaming windows media to work through firefox on Novell Linux Desktop(NLD).
I have switched from Microsoft Windows XP on my Laptop to Novell Linux Desktop, however there a few online news radio stations that I was no longer able to listen to after making this change. By using mplayer, and the mplayer plugin, this problem can be remedied so that the streaming media will stream through the Mozilla Firefox web-browser.
The first step to getting this to work is to install mplayer and the mplayer plugin, which may be found here. I actually installed the mplayer and the plugin on my machine from redcarpet. The problem encountered though was that the plugin is installed into the wrong directory.
A search from the NLD desktop (System | Search for Files) shows that the mplayerplug-in.so file is located in the /usr/lib/browser-plugins directory. The following command will copy this file to the correct location:
cp /usr/lib/browser-plugins/mplayerplug-in.so /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/plugins/
After this is done, kill all instances of firefox and restart the browser, then test the plugin by hitting a website that streams windows media.

I just can't resist a pumpkin patch post. It's tradition and one of my most favorite things ever! Those warm pumpkin donuts coated in sugar, the furry farm animals and pumpkins galore. I can't forget to mention boots and scarves and the weather that comes along with them! *heart eyes* The best part is it just gets better and better the older Henry gets! This year was the perfect age for Henry. He ran all over climbing and sliding down every jungle gym he could see, shouting "I'm a big boy mom!" He was also way more into the pumpkins. He was able to spot his favorites and pick some up and carry them. He ended up picking out FOUR! Sean picked out a perfectly round orange one and I decided on one of those funky blue-green "cow" pumpkins. They all went nicely with our new fall fox doormat. ;)
We like to try different patches every year, but we definitely have two favorites and it has become tradition to go to both. Carolyn's, for the pumpkin donuts and giant rocking chair photo and Louisburg Cidermill for the apple cider, cider donuts and the bounce pillow for H! We tried a new one in Kearney this year and we weren't very impressed. Carolyn's, however, did not disappoint. I can't wait to make a trip to Louisburg in the next few weeks!
Why is it that we never stop and get a family pic?! We even had my cousin there to take the pic for us! So upset about this. #pumpkinpatchfail
Thanks for stopping by! I'm starting my first bump posy tomorrow, eeeek!

There's been a bit of an information overload since the trailer was released, as Ubisoft has revealed several details about Assassin's Creed 4 via a fact sheet and a Q&A with creative director Jean Guesdon, so we thought it best to present it all to you in simple, bullet-point form.
* Creator of Black Flag* "Crap......they know about the game already...f it... RELEASE THE KRACKE....i mean INFO AND TRAILERS!!!!"
"Desmond will not feature in Assassin's Creed 4."
Surely you must find out what happened to him or the aftermath of his death. Is he actually alive, will his mind be put into the machine like the first people, will he come back in the future etc
I mean I'm more excited about the Present story then the actual story this time...with Juno free they have a new threat and how they deal with it will be the most exciting part.
They better introduce the new character for future games...as I've said many times this would of worked better as a spin off like Brotherhood/Revelations...whic h it basically is then AC4-6 could of been used on the Eve descendants. Hell Shaun said he wanted to use the Animus to go back even further back when the first people were still around so we could see how Adam and Eve rebelled in Eden.
I'm glad this is coming to PS4, had it not, I would probably be skipping over this. I'll be in a PS4 frenzy for the first couple months and I don't think there will be much I don't play. Haha

Lives of Christ
The number of Lives of Christ is so great that it is necessary to restrict the following list to those by Catholic authors and by other writers who are deserving of special mention on account of their past or present services. Ludolphus of Saxony (c.1300-c.1370), a Dominican who became a Carthusian, wrote "" in Latin which was famous for centuries after his death. It appeared in Strasbourg in 1374, and a beautiful folio volume of the work was published at Paris in 1865. The work of Ludolphus has a certain resemblance in style and ideas to the "," which has sometimes been attributed to him. The Jesuit Father de Ligny published at Avignon before 1788, his "," which was again published in Paris, 1830. A famous German work, translated into French, was "," by J. N. Sepp of the University of Munich (Ratisbon, 1843). One of the most useful of a number of French Lives which appeared in the following generation was that of Louis Veuillot, the famous publicist. Another was that written by Monsignor Dupanloup. Henry J. Coleridge, S.J., wrote copiously on the life of Our Lord, among other works, "" (London, 1869).
There are good English translations of four useful French Lives: the Abbe Fouard's "," translated by George F. X. Griffeth (Longmans, 1891); "," by Monsignor Le Camus, translated by Father (later Bishop) Hickey (New York, 1907); "," by Pere Didon, O.P. (D. Appleton & Co., 1893); and finally the "" by the late Father L. C. Fillion, S.S., translated by the Reverend Newton Thompson (Herder), the eleventh edition of which appeared in 1925. A more recent French Life, not yet translated, is that of Father Lagrange, O.P., entitled "" (Paris, 1928). Another French work which may be classed as a Life of Christ is that by the late Father Uonce de Grandmaison, S.J., "" (Paris, 1928). It is chiefly concerned with the defense of the Catholic position on the Gospels and their teaching.
The text of the "" by the late Father Maas, S.J. (Saint Louis, 1891), is "entirely framed out of the words of the Gospels, in such a manner that nothing is omitted and nothing added." The principal contribution of this learned scriptural scholar was his methodical explanatory notes, which make the Life a valuable commentary on the Gospels. The "" by the late Father Walter Elliott (New York, 1901), is "a contribution to the devotional study of our Redeemer's teaching and example." Professedly for devotional use, too, is the excellent work of Father Maurice Meschler, S.J., "" (Herder, 1909). Giovanni Papini, a novelist who respects Catholic tradition, but whose training hardly fitted him for his task of writing a history of Our Lord, has succeeded, thanks to his literary skill, in producing on the subject a best-seller. His "" (Florence, 1921) has been translated ably, but not with sufficient fidelity, by Dorothy Canfield Fisher under the title "." The preface of Papini betrays insufficient concern about the historical reliability of the Gospels; in the course of the work Saint John's Gospel is neglected. While the interpretation of Our Lord's words is orthodox, it is frequently too subjective. A careful study of Catholic commentators should precede such a composition. The books we have spoken of are for adults; the needs of younger people are provided for by Mother Loyola's "," Father Cornelius Holland's "," and Mother Imogen Ryan's "."

Q: What access equipment is available for voluntary groups in Merseyside?
Equipment to improve access for disabled people in Merseyside
Are you a voluntary group that needs to use access equipment to help disabled people?
In the Merseyside area, there are voluntary groups that have a range of access equipment – things like hearing loops and text phones – that can help break down barriers for disabled people who want to make use of services.
The groups have some of this equipment installed in their offices, to help disabled visitors to the premises. Some of it is available for loan or for hire by other voluntary groups.
These groups are "infrastructure organisations" that are members of the Greater Merseyside ChangeUp Consortium which arranged for this information to be compiled.
Infrastructure organisations are voluntary groups whose job is to support other voluntary groups. These organisations are committed to continuously improving their services for disabled people.
Follow the links here to see what equipment each organisation has available:
ChangeUp was the Home Office Capacity Building and Infrastructure Framework that looked forward to 2014, with the aim that:
… the needs of frontline voluntary and community organisations will be met by support which is available nationwide, structured for maximum efficiency, offering excellent provision which is accessible to all while reflecting and promoting diversity.
The Merseyside Changeup Consortium included the main infrastructure bodies that serve frontline organisations, whether locally or throughout Merseyside.
Access equipment available
In 2006, ChangeUp asked Merseyside Disability Federation to carry out a survey of access equipment around the area.
This survey is regularly updated and the latest list of available equipment can be found using the links on this page.
- Please note carefully any restrictions – for example, some organisations are only able to make equipment available in their own District.
- To use the equipment found on that list, please get in touch with the named contact – or with the general number or email of the organisation that owns the equipment. MDF is not able to make bookings for loans or hire – you need to deal directly with the organisation that owns the equipment.
- Equipment of this type is also available for hire from companies at commercial rates. The purpose of our list is to share resources between charities and other voluntary and community groups. If you are a commercial organisations that needs access equipment, please contact commercial suppliers in the first instance. You should offer commercial rates if you approach organisations on this list.
Information on these lists is provided to MDF by the organisations that own the equipment: MDF is not responsible for any errors or inaccuracies.

London: British Defence Secretary Liam Fox is
under considerable pressure following revelations that his
flatmate and best man used his office and accompanied him to a
visit to Sri Lanka without holding an official position.
Critics allege that national security may have been
Prime Minister David Cameron has called for details about
the row and is expected to make a statement tomorrow.
On his part, Fox has also initiated a Ministry of Defence
(MoD) inquiry against himself.
His aide, Adam Werritty, 34, accompanied him to meetings
with Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa and also on a
visit to Sri Lanka.
The evidence in the form of photographs, emails and video
escalated after Fox had previously stated in a parliamentary
answer: "Mr Werritty is not an employee of the MoD and has,
therefore, not travelled with me on any official visit".
The MoD investigation is looking into whether Fox broke
the ministerial code over his working relationship with
Werritty, who was the best man at Fox`s wedding in 2005.
Fox is accused of giving Werritty access to the MoD and
allowing him to go on official foreign trips.
Werritty also distributed visiting cards describing him as
an adviser to Fox even though he was not appointed to that of
any official post.

Comedian with a Conscience! Most Respected Comic Actor of Tamil Cinema!
There is one comic track that is more popular than the phenomenal mega hit movie of which it is part of - Thangavelu's Comedy Track in the super hit movie Kalyana Parisu. The comedy sequence in this movie featuring K A Thangavelu, Gemini and M Saroja (Thangavelu's wife) is an integral part of the legend and history of Tamil Cinema. Thangavelu was a seasoned Stage artist with his own very successful drama troupe and in a way was one of the pioneers of Comedy Drama in Tamil Nadu. Apart from having created a name for himself as a Comedian with supreme comic timing he also earned a name for himself as a Comedian with a conscience since his comic performances were always for the whole family. His comic sequence with Kamal Hassan (as a child artiste) in Paarthaal Pasi Theerum is hilarious and a timeless classic. He had excelled in negative roles during the early stages of his acting career. He was comfortable and partnered with all the leading actors of the 50s, 60s and 70s with equal aplomb and had the ability to cut across age groups, liked by all sections of the audience. Tamil Cinema has produced some of the greatest comic geniuses the world has ever seen. Thangavelu was surely one of the greatest and most respected. Enjoy this song from the movie Alibabavum 40 Thirudarkalum sung by Ghantasala. Lyrics - A Maruthasi and Music - S Dhakshinamoorthi.

On April 22, we the people of Colorado will march for science in Denver. In an act of public citizenship, we will demonstrate to our local scientists that they are a valued and integral part our community.
A strong, local, and diverse scientific community is a fundamental characteristic of our highest ideals as Coloradans. The air, water, and land we're so proud of, are safeguarded by scientists. They give our economy resilience and provide us with the ability to be lifelong learners. We are indebted to them.
The power of science in our world has never been greater. The ability of science fiction to outpace reality is diminishing. Science permeates the daily life of every citizen in the country. Some fear it, others embrace it. As political division in this country deepens, the temptation to use science as a partisan tool becomes irresistible. It will be scientists who are caught in the crossfire.
We will not allow our scientists to face this hardship alone. This Earth day, we will march with the to celebrate their work, express our solidarity and pride in them, and do it in a way that is distinctly Coloradan.
Charlie Kirkham

Are you looking for a time tracking application? Perhaps you want to time yourself for a particular task and measure your time efficiency or perhaps you simply want to be alerted of something after a particular time. For these and any other time tracking needs, Windows users will find a freeware app called WatchMe to be extremely helpful.
WatchMe is an excellent piece of freeware that serves very well when it comes to monitoring the time spent on your tasks. To say that it is a mere time-tracking application would be an understatement; with this single application, you get a stopwatch, a countdown timer, a timed alert generator, and even a task scheduler.
To get started, you need to only download and extract the app's setup archive which is sized at nearly 0.3 MB. To run the app, simply open the EXE file which you extract from the archive – the app does not require any installation. You will find a 'bare' window like the in screenshot above; all timers will be set to zero and the tasks will have their default labels. You should begin by naming the tasks that you want to be timed through the application.
To initiate timing a task, you can click on the Start button in front of it. The timer will change color and you will see the seconds being counted.
The color formats of the timers when they are stopped and when they are running can be adjusted from the app's preferences.
When you have finished your task, you can stop the relevant timer and see how much time you spent on that particular task. You can also add or subtract time from a timer field by right clicking on it.
If a particular task is of a countdown timer type, you can add an alert to it.
The alert task can execute a program or play a sound file after your specified time interval has passed. The alert can be bound to a timer which can be stopped at the time of the alert.
The app offers numerous other useful features as well such as exporting your timers to a CSV file. From various time formats that include milliseconds to letting users starting and stopping all timers collectively, WatchMe is one tiny app that is full of surprises.
With the features that come with this application, there really is no limit to how you can put it to use. From monitoring the time spent on tasks to measure productivity to making sure that you take your cake out of the oven on time, WatchMe can do it all; it certainly is one time tracking application that Windows users can definitely benefit from.
Download WatchMe from over here.

KEW GARDENS, Queens — Pride for your borough is something that isn't new, just ask Jay Z.
However when it comes to apparel, Queens is lagging far behind. That's according to Richard Boehmcke and Annie Scott.
They're the life-long New Yorkers on a mission to give their neighbors the chance to wear their pride on their sleeve.
"I had a lot of people who I knew move to Brooklyn and they would wear cool Brooklyn shirts," Boehmcke told PIX11 News. "I always felt that we were the underdog… so it was always something that was a chip on my shoulder."
That chip soon became inspiration and the Kew Gardens couple launched The Local Witt – a t-shirt and lifestyle brand aimed at bringing pride, style and a splash of snark to the borough.
"Instead of having a t-shirt that just said Queens on it which honestly was the only thing we were seeing," Scott said. "We wanted to give more personality and character to our products and to the borough."
The t-shirts poke fun not only at hipsters but the ever-ballooning cost of living that have plagued Brooklyn and Manahattan.
The couple says a portion of the proceeds they make from sales will go to New York Cares.
If you want to get more information about The Local Witt and to purchase a t-shirt or three, visit their website.

Update from the Chronicle of Higher Education (5/30/2007): "Teaching hospitals that stood to lose at least $1.8-billion in Medicaid funds from a regulatory change proposed last week received a one-year reprieve on Friday in budget legislation approved by Congress." (article in the CHE is by K. Mangan)
Hopefully the AMA, AAMC, and others will make their voices heard on the issues.-EB
From the Federal Register May 23, 2007:
This proposed rule would clarify that costs and payments associated with Graduate Medical Education programs are not expenditures for medical assistance that are federally reimbursable under the Medicaid program
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), US Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) have released a new rule proposal which would disallow Graduate Medical Education (GME) as an expenditure that is federal reimbursable by Medicaid.
Medicaid is a federally and state funded program designed to provide a safety net to low income parents, children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.
"So what?" you may be asking.
Many medical schools and hospitals, including Stanford Med School and Stanford Hospital, are dependent on direct and indirect federal reimbursement of graduate medical education (the training of interns and residents) from both Medicaid and Medicare to help pay for the costs of running a teaching facility.
When asked to comment on the effect the proposed changes would have on teaching institutions Donald A. Barr, M.D., Ph.D. in the HumBio Dept stated:
It is the case that Medicare is the principal payer of the costs of GME. However, as hospitals include the cost of GME in calculating charges for other private insurers, it only makes sense for them to do it for Medicaid also.
…starting in 1966, Medicare paid hospitals on a cost-reimbursement basis. Medicare paid hospitals a fractional share of the cost of providing care, depending on how many Medicare patients the hospital treated. That formula changed in 1983 with the DRG system of payment for hospital care.
However, in 1966, GME was considered to be part of "providing medical care" in the hospital context. If it was good enough for Medicare, why isn't it good enough for Medicaid?
The American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) in a letter opposing this move stated, "Medicaid has an important responsibility to support care for patients in the safety-net institutions that participate in graduate medical education. This funding supports the additional cost of providing care to patients with more complex health care needs in a teaching setting."
Teaching hospitals in the U.S. provide a disproportionately high level of healthcare services for Medicaid beneficiaries and the uninsured. According to the AAMC, in 2004 (the latest available data), while teaching hospitals in the U.S. represent only 6% of all hospitals, they were responsible for 25% of all Medicaid discharges from hospitals. Teaching hospitals also maintain a higher intern/resident-to-bed ratio than most hospitals.
Many teaching hospitals, such as Stanford, are also the sites of major medical research, and as such, they often take on complex medical cases and help to research medical advancements.
Calls to the news offices of the AMA, Stanford University and an email to Stanford Hospital's news office on Friday asking if these organizations had submitted statements to CMS regarding this proposal were not returned. However, as this wass the beginning of a long weekend, people are probably out of the office, and I will update this post as comments arrive.
There are always two sides to every story. Medicare and Medicaid are facing increasing costs which have outpaced earlier predictions. Medicaid funding has become a major budget issue for states (who are facing budget deficits), and as the U.S. population ages Medicaid is faced with increased costs for long term care. However, if states begin to follow federal examples, teaching hospitals will face further cuts to funding.
Healthcare in general in the U.S. is facing systemic problems of which Medicare and Medicaid issues are just a symptom. Technological costs have gone up, people are living longer, the worker to retiree ratio is shifting, and we operate our healthcare system using a for-profit model. Furthermore, as many are aware, governmental spending priorities do not focus on healthcare and the U.S. government is incurring a large spending deficit due to the war in Iraq.
If you're not concerned about problems with health care in the U.S. or about maintaining the social safety net we have in place for the poorest of our society, then you should be concerned about these regulations out of pure self-interest:
- Medicine is one of the largest career interests on campus. If you are a premed, this directly affects your ability to gain a residency after medical school.
- Furthermore, if you are a member of cardinal care, your health insurance premiums reflect the cost of going to Stanford Hospital. If this funding is taken away, the hospital may have to respond by raising the price of the (heavily discounted) services they provide to students

But he said I could buy one elsewhere and fit it myself. Its only Apple saying its not user serviceable as oppposed to it not being possible someone with reasonable ability to fit it themselves. So I have 2 questions:- 1. does anyone know where I can buy one? 2. is it one item BT+AP or its two seperate items? I don't really need the Airport part, I just want BT so I can use a BT mighty mouse. And I don't want to waste a USB port on a BT dongle. part numbers would be great if anyone has any. p.s. my mac pro is the most unbelieveable computer i've ever used! it rocks!

Time-traveling teens unwind history to fix what went wrong in a battle between clockwork mechanics and electricity in this first installment of a planned series by Gavin.
Nobody remembers Charlie Horologe's name. Even his mother has to post notes around the house to remember what to call him. Charlie finds out why when he falls through a time portal created by machines made in an alternate history. Charlie emerges in 1725 London, where he meets another time traveler, Yvaine, who must travel with him. They need each other; girls can only go uptime and boys go downtime. By sticking together, they can go anywhere. Their nemeses—Tick Tocks—are creepy gears and clockwork cogs that try to kill time travelers to preserve their preferred timeline. That future does not include Ben Franklin, portrayed as a young man 20 years before he discovered electricity. A masterful storyteller, Gavin (The Darkening Dream, 2011) builds a solid plot with believable characters. Charlie is likably ordinary, but his years of social awkwardness and reading biographies make him a smart traveler with knowledge of historical details. Yvaine is not the typical leading lady. She's gritty and offensive. Alone in time since she was 7, she uses thievery and sex to survive. Theirs is less a love story than one of lust, adventure and need. Charlie's father, Fink, offers loving guidance, in spite of spending too much time away from his son. The story behind time traveling unpeels in layers. As Charlie learns more about himself and other travelers, whom he distinguishes easily because they are more in focus, he better understands how he can manipulate time to save the country he loves, the history he believes is right and himself.
Turns history on its ear, leaving the reader counting the days until Charlie is back for another trip.

As I mentioned last week, I spent Saturday celebrating my girl Lizzibeth's 1st Birthday. Let me just say, the whole thing was a total blast. Lizzi threw one heck of a party.
I spent most of the day hanging out with 10 amazing bloggers. Getting ready for the party, laughing, indulging in libation, swapping stories and of course, talking all things blogging. It was sort of like spending the afternoon with your best girlfriends, except I had just met all but 3 of them. It's funny how blogging and the internet can bring people together. I just love it.
While at first, I felt a little out of my element amongst these gifted style bloggers. They were quick to embrace my little lifestyle blog and me. It was such a treat getting to know this group of talented and inspiring women.
I thought I would share a few fun photos from that night. Most of these are kind of silly because, let's be honest, part-time runway model is not on my resume. But, it was really fun getting to play dress-up in Lizzi's beautiful clothes and baubles.
^^^Lovely bloggers, Livia, Aimee, Gabrielle, Gabby, Rachael and I getting ready together. Shout out to the beautiful Lauren and Julie who I somehow missed getting a picture with.^^^
^^^These are my runway photos. And, apparently, I'm having a great time. I have to admit, I was on stage for all of 30 seconds and incredibly nervous, so I don't really remember much of it. But, as usual, I'm dancing my way through it all as if no one's watching, just being a total dork. ^^^
^^^Me and the adorable birthday girl, Lizzi, striking a pose pose post-runway. Love her so much.^^^
^^^With gorgeous blogger, Molly making goofy faces.
Also, you guys, my mouth. My mouth is gaping open far too much in these photos. I think I'm either having the night of my life or it's just a nervous habit. I never knew I did this before, so I apologize for the constant large mouth pictures.^^^
^^^I love this picture. Just a little stoic blogger-esque, social media moment.^^^

Our Board's composition is a strong, balanced blend of skills & experience,
and offers guidance in core areas important to the Diving Rebels Scuba Club.
Elizabeth Neumann - Senior Board Member
Elizabeth's scuba story starts out with her finding her adventitious 10 year-old son at the bottom of our pool weighted down with rocks and sucking on a garden hose attached to an air compressor. She quickly realized, to prevent a lung being blown out and spending weeks in the hospital, that she would need to get this kid SCUBA certified. At that time, SSI would accept 10 year-olds with a parent to become a certified diver. Elizabeth arranged for us both to start diving lessons even though she was not interested in diving. Once they completed the training and had their first open water dive at Athens she was hooked. Elizabeth quickly started to take every scuba class available and subsequence started to work on her dive master certification. Participating in SCUBA activities has allowed Elizabeth the opportunities to meet wonderful individuals, travel to beautiful destinations and escape into a magical, tranquil world where she find peace.

The good news is that Into the Woods was the second highest grossing film on Christmas Day and it finished third overall for the weekend.
The bad news is that I didn't love it.
Let me compare Into the Woods to a piece of chocolate cake. Right off, you may either love or hate it because you might like or dislike chocolate, cake, or both. If you've never had chocolate cake before-- this may be the most delicious thing you ever tasted. If you like chocolate cake-- this may be satisfying; but if you love chocolate cake, this may be underwhelming or a complete disappointment. There are still others that will find-- good or bad, dry or moist-- they are just grateful to have a slice of cake.For me, this version of ITW is missing key ingredients. Or to draw from the script-- the potion is missing it's hair as yellow as corn. It didn't work for me.
The original Into the Woods clearly explores the price that comes with wishes, what is really happily ever after; and the importance of teaching children, wishes as children and the hope that exists in children themselves. Much of this is lost or brushed aside in the film. Instead of a film using fairy tales to tell a bigger story, it's just a film telling fairy tales with a slightly different ending.
The movie is beautifully filmed and features an outstanding cast. BUT-- I found it visually too dark; and with the major plot changes, I was never drawn in or emotional involved.
I have some pretty strong opinions about this particular film because I've had a long personal attachment to the stage version of Into the Woods.
|Poster for the original Broadway production of Into the Woods.
The stage version of Into the Woods is visually a combination of light (colorful) and dark images, where the movie was visually dark from start to finish. The village and castle scenes in the movie all had a dingy, dirty feel as opposed to embodying color, light or any fairy tale magic. Emotionally, the movie is pretty much gray from start to finish. I didn't feel the passion of the dreams and wishes from the major characters; which is problematic because it leaves no real reason for them to go into the woods to begin with. We never truly see even a glimpse of the happy ever after they are so desperate to achieve.
Even in the worst productions I've seen, no matter how badly acted or staged-- I've always been moved by No One Is Alone. Except in the film. To borrow from another musical, I felt nothing.
Some might feel that it is to Disney and director Rob Marshall's credit that they didn't Disneyfy the look of the film. I see it as a missed opportunity to enhance the story. I really would have appreciated seeing some of the beauty and opulence of the castle, for example. Instead, it was dark and drab, as was the brief wedding imagery.
In adapting for the film, the writers chose to edit and whitewash the deeper, meaningful moments of the story. Combining that with the lack of passion, it left very little to get emotionally involved in.
Without Rapunzel's demise, we lose the witch's profound grief that propels her into a frenzied Last Midnight. Without a larger presence of the Baker's Father (Mysterious Man, or not) and the cut song No More, we lose what is the cathartic moment that leads to the Baker's return to his new family. As a result, the intensity and the pure, desperate passion is lost from characters' motivations.
|Cast of Disney's film, Into the Woods.
The character of the Witch and Meryl Streep's performance have to be looked at separately. First, I didn't feel like the other characters really feared the Witch and her power as much as they saw her as a means to get what they wanted, or as an obstacle in doing so. Second, since the film chose to let Rapunzel ride off with the Prince, future unknown-- instead of becoming a victim of the giant; it lessened the Witch's loss. These two points affect the whole dynamic of the Witch's antagonistic role in the story, as well as her motivations.
Meryl Streep, easily the greatest American actress of our time, fully embodied what the film set out to portray. Though I hoped for a much more powerful performance, Streep filled the bill the way the story has been adapted, perfectly. One thing I noticed, having listened to the soundtrack since; you don't really grasp the incredible technique and emotion Streep brought to the character-- vocally, in one viewing in a theater. Meryl Streep doesn't just sing musical roles-- her vocalization is a well-crafted extension of her character's development and expression. Every word, phrase and guttural sound is perfection.
I liked the introduction of the blue moon to the story, opposed to just the passing midnights of the stage version. I thought it gave a clearer understanding of why the spell had to be broken now.
For me, the best and only perfect moment in the film was Agony. It was beautifully acted and staged. If the entire film had this energy and attention to detail, it could have been the best stage musical-to-film ever made.
|Composer/Lyricist Stephen Sondheim.
From all that I read leading up to the film's release, Disney was concerned about the original version being too dark (plot-wise), too many main character deaths and wanted to make it more family-friendly. The result is a watered down story that still, in my opinion, is not a family movie.
Into the Woods, on screen, felt like it was too long. This is ironic since it was 20 minutes shorter than the stage version, not including an intermission. It was more than a little slow and disjointed at times.
I'm sure people completely unfamiliar with ITW will have a completely different reaction to the film. And that's okay. I just hope it's a positive experience. The very best thing that could come out of the film is that it might encourage a new audience for the stage version. The film versions of other more recent movie musicals have done a great service to building and keeping audience interest in live theatre.
I can only hope that this film will contribute to that trend.
