Beneficial species are important to the planet & us All.
Call us to relocate before you exterminate.
Carpenter ants can become pests both indoors and out. Carpenter ants like to be in close proximity to moisture and they begin to nest in rotting or decaying wood. Carpenter ants utilize many parts of a home, including structural supports like ceilings and walls. This makes it very difficult to get rid of ants and their nests. In this case, learning how to get rid of carpenter ants may not be enough. Professional and trained pest control specialists can locate, exterminate, and remove these pests to solve all of your problems!
Some things to look for are moist areas with the presence of chew which resembles small piles of sawdust which will be a good indication of a nest being present along with visual identification of the ants themselves. Carpenter Ants can go undetected for some time nesting inside your walls and other concealed locations.

When you arrive for the first time at our conveniently located clinic you will be greeted by our receptionist who will ask you to complete a simple form that will help our practitioner to understand your expectations.
We will then take a photograph using a special Visia Digital Skin Analysis System that helps us to assess the quality of your skin. We are one of the only clinics in the Birmingham area with access to this technologically advanced piece of equipment which means that we can objectively measure results via a series of skin analysis tools, allowing for comparison of skin before and after your anti wrinkle treatment. You will be introduced to your practitioner who will take you through to one of our discreet, state of the art treatment rooms where you can discuss what you would like to achieve. Our practitioner will explain the treatment stages and how wrinkle relaxing treatment can help you to achieve a smoother, wrinkle free appearance, answering any questions and concerns that you may have. If you're happy, and the practitioner feels that the treatment is suitable and will give you the results that you're looking for then you can proceed to book your Anti Wrinkle cosmetic treatment with us.

As a medically led and owned clinic, we take pride in the quality of our service and you can be sure that ethics come before profit: We will not treat you if we don't think that we can give you the results that you desire, preferring to refer and recommend other expert colleagues, where appropriate.
After your wrinkle treatment, we will continue to keep in regular contact with you to monitor your progress and measure your results. In the unlikely event you experience any side effects, our top-rated aftercare includes an emergency telephone line where you are guaranteed to reach a helpful team member 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Why call out Politics?
Unfortunately politics has everything to do with with how the environment is treated. Some governments from local to federal have respect and deep appreciation for wild lands, protected lands, and preserves; others, and more today when the risks are so high, who are not and see only resources to be extracted for "jobs" where people barely get paid enough to make a living while the corporate owners become richer by the decade.
Global trade is working together to extract resources as quickly as possible and their business cases never include enough contingency funds for environmental accidents. Then again, how do you mitigate a disaster like the BP Oilpocalypse in the Gulf of Mexico. Take a trip to Pensacola and talk to locals, get the story of the peoples who's lives have been impacted. They are not hard to find.
Obama did commercials while "in the water in the Gulf of Mexico". He also supports TPP and all the other PPs that go with it (ie TIPP). These trade agreements would allow, for example, a company like Chevron to sue a country like Ecuador to allow it to drill if it's signed an agreement like TPP. These agreements can be signed under the choke hold of an economic hit man. Read any of John 's books? New one just came out: The New Confessions of an Economic Hitman. This is a perfect example of the game of political connect the dots.
The worst are the politicians who are stalling or worse denying abrupt climate change. The consequence of their actions could be much more than they ever imagined.

Basketball is a team sport built around stars. Evidence from the last few decades show NBA Championships are won by great teams led by generational talents. However, a lone generational talent more often than not is not enough to win a championship.
In this panel, Beyond the Foundation: Building a Team Around a Superstar, current NBA General Managers will discuss some of the challenges that come with building a team around a particular player's gifts, maintaining success during the superstar's prime, and walking the tight rope between winning today and compromising the future of the franchise.

Earlier today the Senate voted 78-17 in Executive Session to confirm the nomination of Ms. Sylvia Mathews Burwell to be the new Secretary of The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Ms. Burwell was most recently the head of President Obama's Office of Management and Budget before being nominated for her new role. Ms. Burwell takes the helm of HSS from the former Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. A native of Hinton, West Virginia—a town of roughly 3,000, Ms. Burwell held the position of Deputy Chief of Staff working with Erskine Bowles in President Bill Clinton's second administration. Ms. Burwell becomes the 22nd Secretary of HHS, an agency of over 70,000 federal employees across a number of important departments: the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); the National Institutes of Health (NIH); the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA); the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); and the Administration on Aging among others. The largest portion of the agency's near trillion dollar annual budget is dedicated to funding the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) charged with running the Medicare and Medicaid programs nationwide.

Number 17: Congress Patches the SGR Yet Again
For the 17th time since the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) became law as part of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, last week the Congress passed a short-term "patch" to prevent scheduled cuts from going into effect for physicians who provide care to Medicare beneficiaries. Staving off the more than 20% in payment cuts, on April 1st, President Obama, signed into law the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014. In addition to preventing the scheduled payment reductions from going into effect, the new law continues a 0.5 percent update for physicians through December 31, 2014, and then maintains reimbursement levels for the first quarter of 2015. The SGR, long-recognized by health care providers and policymakers as in serious need of reform, is the formula used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to control spending and growth related to physician services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. Over the past six months, leaders and members of the House Ways and Means, House Energy and Commerce, and Senate Finance Committee achieved a rare bipartisan, bicameral consensus with respect to how to repeal the SGR and replace it with a more appropriate payment policy. The result of their efforts culminated in the introduction of the SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act of 2014. Despite agreement on the policy, Members of Congress unfortunately were unable to craft a deal with respect to how to pay for the estimated $140-180 billion price-tag. Therefore, with the April 1st deadline looming, Congressional leaders negotiated a smaller package of health care policies, which included a short-term "patch" for the SGR. The policies include (but are not limited to): an extension of the partial enforcement delay for the Medicare so-called "two-midnight rule," which effects payment for inpatient stays at acute care hospitals; a one-year delay in implementation of the new ICD-10 coding system; additional authorization for the Special Diabetes Program and the maternal, infant, and early childhood home visiting program; a Government Accountability Office study on Children's Hospital Graduate Medical Education Program; a new program relating to value-based purchasing for skilled nursing facilities; and a new initiative related to quality, safety, and evidence-based care associated with diagnostic imaging. The costs of the bill are paid for through a variety of policy changes, including: extending the two percent Medicare sequestration; revaluing services under the physician fee schedule; reform of Medicare payment for clinical laboratory services; and rebasing of Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital payments. Providers continue to urge Congress to take action to enact a permanent fix. Given that the latest "patch" expires March 31, 2015, prior to that date, Congress will need to take action on a permanent fix or enact the 18th patch.
Dewonkify – Medicare Part D
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance coverage for people who are age 65 or older. Individuals younger than 65 may qualify if they have certain disabilities or have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Medicare is comprised of four parts—Parts A, B, C, and D. Over the past few weeks, Capitol Health Record has dewonkified each of the four parts.
Definition: Medicare Part D is a voluntary benefit that provides outpatient prescription drug coverage to beneficiaries. The Part D benefit is operated through private plans; beneficiaries have the option of choosing either prescription drug coverage as part of their Medicare Advantage plan (more information is available here) or as a stand-alone prescription drug plan (PDP) which can be purchased in addition to traditional Medicare (Part A and Part B).
Used in a Sentence: "The Medicare Part D benefit provides seniors a way to afford their medications when they do not have other affordable drug coverage options."
History: The Medicare prescription drug benefit was added to Medicare as part of the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA). Prior to the passage of the MMA, many Medicare beneficiaries lacked access to prescription drug coverage.
When it was enacted, the standard benefit structure was as follows: the beneficiary paid a deductible. Once the deductible was met, the beneficiary paid 25 percent of the costs of his/her drugs and the plan paid the other 75 percent of the costs, up to the initial coverage limit (which, in 2010, was $2830 in total drug costs). At this point, the plan stopped covering the costs of the beneficiary's drugs (otherwise known as the "doughnut hole" or "coverage gap") until the beneficiary's drug costs exceeded the catastrophic coverage limit (which was $6440 in total drug costs in 2010). At this point, the beneficiary would pay 5 percent, the plan would pay 15 percent, and Medicare would pay 80 percent of the costs for medications. This unusual benefit design was meant to provide some drug coverage for all beneficiaries.
Many beneficiaries were very frustrated with the gap in coverage (doughnut hole). The Affordable Care Act ("ACA") contained provisions to incrementally address the gap in coverage, and by the year 2020, beneficiaries will no longer experience such a gap. More information about the doughnut hole and the ACA provisions is available here.
More information about the 2014 Medicare Part D program is available here. An overview of the Medicare Part D payment system is available here.
When the benefit first launched in 2005, the then-Bush Administration encountered some initial issues related to the launch of the website and enrollment. While much different in scope, some politicians have compared problems with the launch of the Part D program to the problems currently being experienced with the ACA rollout (more information is available here).
Premiums: Medicare Part D premiums vary depending on the beneficiary's plan choice and geography. Some plans, called "enhanced plans" provide greater coverage for prescription drugs, but usually have a higher premium. In 2014, the standard average Medicare Part D monthly premium is estimated to be $31.
Like Medicare Part B, individuals who lack prescription drug coverage either through a former employer, Medicaid, or some other source, will face a late enrollment penalty if they delay signing up for Part D. (More information on the Part D late enrollment penalty is available here.)
Dewonkify — Medicare Part C
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance coverage for people who are age 65 or older. Individuals younger than 65 may qualify if they have certain disabilities or have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Medicare is comprised of four parts — Parts A, B, C, and D. Over the next few weeks, Capitol Health Record will dewonkify each of the four parts.
Definition: Medicare Part C is otherwise known as "Medicare Advantage" (formerly "Medicare+Choice"). These are private plans that are approved by Medicare to cover all of the services provided by Part A and Part B. Some Medicare Advantage plans offer coverage for items not otherwise covered by Medicare (like hearing aids and eyeglasses).
Used in a Sentence: "The premiums of Americans enrolled in Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) have fallen by 16 percent since 2010, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has said." From "Where is Republican anger over Obama's health care law?" by Juan Williams, Washington Post, September 27, 2012
History: Medicare Advantage began as an alternative to traditional Medicare. Some policymakers believed that private insurance companies would be able to provide beneficiaries with better, more coordinated care at a lower cost to beneficiaries and the federal government. Medicare Advantage plans operated by private insurance companies and are available in almost every county in the country. Medicare Advantage plans can be either health maintenance organization (HMO) plans, private fee-for-service (PFFS) plans, or regional or local preferred provider organizations (PPOs). (More information is available here.)
Premiums: Medicare beneficiaries pay a premium to enroll in Medicare Advantage plans; premiums vary depending on the plan offerings in the area. Most Medicare Advantage plans also offer prescription drug coverage (called MA-PD plans). In 2012, the average premium charged for a Medicare Advantage plan offering drug coverage was $51.43 per month. Approximately 87 percent of Medicare beneficiaries can choose an MA-PAD plan with a $0 premium (though beneficiaries would still have to pay their Medicare Part B premium). More information is available here.
Enrollment: In 2012, approximately 27 percent of Medicare beneficiaries chose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan.
Dewonkify – Medicare Part B
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance coverage for people who are age 65 or older. Individuals younger than 65 may qualify if they have certain disabilities or have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Medicare is comprised of four parts — Parts A, B, C, and D. Over the next few weeks, Capitol Health Record will dewonkify each of the four parts.
Definition: Medicare Part B primarily pays for care provided by doctors and other health care professionals (like nurse practitioners), outpatient services, durable medical equipment (DME), home health, and some preventive services.
Used in a Sentence: "The premiums for Medicare Part B will remain flat in 2014 and seniors have saved $8.3 billion on Part D prescriptions since the Affordable Care Act was enacted in 2010, the Department of Health and Human Services announced Monday. Medicare Part B covers medically necessary services, as well as preventive services." From "Medicare Part B Premiums Won't Go Up in 2014," by Kelly Kennedy, USA Today, October 28, 2013
History: Medicare Part B began in 1965 under the same legislation that enacted Medicare Part A and the Medicaid program.
Enrollment: In 2012, 46.4 million Americans were enrolled in Medicare Part B.
Financing: Medicare Part B is financed through general revenues and premiums collected from beneficiaries. Because of the way it is financed, technically Medicare Part B can never be insolvent. However, because the federal government pays 75 percent of the cost of Part B, many policymakers have begun to grow concerned about the increased cost of the program and have proposed ways to reduce these federal expenditures.
Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR): Medicare Part B pays for services provided by physicians and other health care professionals using the SGR formula. Unless Congress acts by the end of this year, physicians who treat Medicare beneficiaries will see their reimbursement cut by approximately 24 percent (the exact amount will be determined when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) releases its final rule implementing the Physician Fee Schedule).
Over the past decade, Congress has enacted more than 15 short-term fixes to address the SGR (see infographic). In July the House Energy and Commerce Committee passed legislation to permanently address the SGR. Last week, the House Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee jointly released a draft discussion guide which closely follows the Energy and Commerce proposal.
Premiums: Medicare beneficiaries pay monthly premiums, which are adjusted each year and account for roughly 25 percent of Part B costs. Currently most beneficiaries pay a monthly premium of $104.90 per month. Individuals with higher incomes pay a higher monthly premium. (More information on Medicare Part B premiums is available here.) Individuals who lack other coverage (generally through a current or former employer) who delay signing up for Part B may be assessed a permanent late enrollment penalty. (More information on the late enrollment penalty is available here.)
Out-of-Pocket Costs: In addition to the monthly premium, beneficiaries have an annual deductible of $147 for 2013. Beneficiaries also are assessed a copayment of 20 percent of the Medicare-approved cost of the service. (More information is available here.)
MedPAC To Meet This Week
The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) will be meeting in Washington, DC this Thursday, November 7th, and Friday, November 8th, to discuss Medicare policies and recommendations. The agenda for the November meeting is available here.
MedPAC did not hold their scheduled meeting in October due to the government shutdown.
Bicameral, Bipartisan SGR Proposal Released
On Thursday, October 31, 2013, the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee released a draft discussion of their proposal to permanently fix the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula, which Medicare uses to reimburse physicians and other health care professionals. (More information on the SGR is available here.) This discussion draft is similar to legislation that unanimously passed out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee in July 2013. (More information on the Energy and Commerce legislation is available here.)
The discussion draft would prevent the imposition of the SGR cuts (estimated to be 24 percent for 2014), but does not call for any payment increases through 2023. Beginning in 2024, health care professionals who participate in advanced alternative payment models (see below) would be eligible for a two percent update, while all other health care professionals would receive a one percent update. The Energy and Commerce Committee legislation called for a 0.5 percent increase in reimbursement over 5 years.
The discussion draft also seeks to adjust reimbursement based in part on performance. Beginning in 2017, penalties that would have been assessed under three quality incentive programs – the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), the Value-Based Modifier, and the Electronic Health Record (EHR) Meaningful Use program – would be made available to health care professionals who have demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality healthcare.
In addition, the discussion draft encourages health care professionals to participate in alternative payment models (APMs) that involve two-sided risk and measure the quality of care provided (e.g., patient-centered medical homes, accountable care organizations (ACOs), etc.). Providers who obtain a significant portion of their revenue from such APMs would be eligible for bonus payments.
Finally, the discussion draft contains provisions designed to encourage care coordination for individuals who have complex chronic care needs by developing new payment codes for these services beginning in 2015. The discussion draft seeks to improve the accuracy of the valuation of services provided to beneficiaries and sets a target for the identification and revaluation of misvalued services. Under the proposal, professionals would be required to consult with appropriate use criteria when ordering advanced imaging and electrocardiogram services.
Interestingly, like the Energy and Commerce Committee legislation, this discussion draft does not contain any offsets. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) previously estimated a ten year freeze to physician payments would cost $139.1 billion; the Energy and Commerce legislation was estimated by CBO to cost $175 billion over ten years. While this discussion draft has not yet been officially scored by CBO, sponsors reportedly have been working to reduce the overall score of their proposal relative to the Energy and Commerce Committee's legislation.
So far the discussion draft has received positive feedback from the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The American Medical Association (AMA) and American Medical Group Association (AMGA) have issued statements indicating they are pleased the issue is moving forward and are currently reviewing the discussion draft.
Dewonkify – Medicare Part A
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance coverage for people who are age 65 or older. Individuals younger than 65 may qualify if they have certain disabilities or have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Medicare is comprised of four parts — Parts A, B, C, and D. Over the next few weeks, Capitol Health Record will dewonkify each of the four parts.
Definition: Medicare Part A pays primarily for inpatient hospital stays, care in skilled nursing facilities, home health care, and hospice care.
Used in a Sentence: "Republicans have suggested a push to reduce the deficit with entitlement cuts, such as means testing for Medicare and a possible merger of Medicare parts A and B for hospitals and doctor services." From "GOP Senators Ready Entitlement, Tax Proposals for Budget Conference" by Alan K. Ota, published in CQ (subscription required).We also have a program called the Seal of Recognition that may be worth your time and consideration. You could submit your materials supporting the Trigen SureShot and our nursing team would evaluate the content to make sure it is consistent with the AORN Recommended Practices. If approved, you would receive the AORN Seal of Recognition logo to use on your documents for one year (can be renewed annually).
History: Medicare Part A began in 1965 and was enacted at the same time as Part B and Medicaid. At the time, older Americans who did not have health care coverage through their employers, had to either purchase health insurance on their own (which could be expensive) or rely on their families to help pay for their medical care. More information on the history of the Medicare program can be found here.
Financing: Medicare Part A is financed through a payroll tax paid by employers and employees. Part A currently pays out more in claims than it collects in revenue and is projected to become insolvent by the year 2026. In 2012, total expenditures (costs) for the Medicare program were $574.2 billion and total income was $536.9 billion. Each year the independent Medicare Trustees releases a report projecting the solvency of the program. Information on the most recent Trustees' report is available here.
Enrollment: Currently 50.7 million Americans are enrolled in Medicare Part A.
Eligibility: In order to be eligible for Medicare Part A, you (or your spouse) must have worked at least 10 years (40 quarters) in Medicare-covered employment. Some individuals under age 65 may be eligible for Medicare Part A if they are entitled to Social Security (or railroad retirement) disability benefits for at least the previous 25 months or qualify for ESRD benefits. More information on eligibility requirements can be found here.
Out-of-Pocket Costs: Beneficiaries enrolled in Part A pay a deductible when they are admitted to the hospital. The amount of the deductible varies from year to year and is calculated to be $1,216 in 2014. This deductible covers beneficiaries' costs for the first 60 days of care within a benefit period. Beneficiaries pay additional fees for hospitalizations longer than 60 days (for more information, see here).
Premiums: About 99 percent of individuals who have Part A do not pay a premium. However, some individuals may be able to enroll in Part A and pay a monthly premium: individuals (and spouses) with fewer than 30 quarters (7.5 years) of Medicare-covered employment pay a premium of $426 and individuals (and spouses) with between 30 and 39 quarters of Medicare-covered employment pay $234. (More information is available here.)
Government Shutdown Now Over – But What About Sequestration?
The government may be back up and running and funded under a short-term continuing resolution (CR), but the battle is far from over as Congress heads toward new deadlines to address budgetary matters. There has been some confusion about what the current budget agreement means in terms of sequestration's annual cuts to discretionary and mandatory programs instituted in 2012. The law signed by the President to address the short-term continuing resolution and temporarily raise the debt ceiling does not provide federal agencies flexibility to administer new sequestration cuts at this time. With the government spending levels remaining at FY 2013 levels for the duration of the CR, a new round of sequester cuts are not set to kick in until January 2014.
The law established a short-term budget conference committee, with a set deadline of Dec. 13, 2013 to outline recommended spending levels and program cuts. Of note is that the committee deadline is set in advance of when the second year of the sequester will begin. The deadline provides a window of opportunity for the new budget conferees to address how the sequester cuts are applied in FY 2014. The conferees may contemplate making other adjustments to entitlement programs (Medicare and Medicaid) to address health care spending issues that will be negotiated during their deliberations. In addition, Medicare payments to physicians are set to be cut by approximately 25 percent if Congress does not address the cut by December 31, 2013 and offset the cut with a payfor that would likely include cuts to other health care entities. Any of these negotiations and decisions, if ultimately accepted by Congress, could impact the size of the Medicare sequester cuts in January FY 2014.
Medicare Open Enrollment Starts Today
There has been much focus recently on open enrollment for the health insurance exchanges. In addition to the exchange open enrollment period, today, October 15, 2013, marks the beginning of Medicare's annual enrollment period, which lasts until December 7, 2013. Approximately 49 million Americans are enrolled in Medicare.
What does the enrollment period mean for Medicare beneficiaries?
Each year during Medicare's annual enrollment period, current Medicare beneficiaries are allowed to make changes to their Medicare plan choices. Beneficiaries who are enrolled in a Medicare prescription drug plan (otherwise known as Medicare Part D) can review their plan choices and determine whether they want to stick with their current plan, or switch to a new plan. Beneficiaries who are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan (an MA plan, or Medicare Part C) can review their plan choices and decide if they want to keep their current plan or switch to a new plan.
What happens if a beneficiary does nothing during the annual enrollment period?
If a beneficiary is satisfied with his/her current Medicare coverage, he/she does not need to do anything. So, if you are happy with your current Part D plan and want to keep the same plan next year, you do not need to do anything during the annual enrollment period. Plan premiums may change; beneficiaries should have been notified by their current plans of any changes for next year.
If a beneficiary has Medicare, should they enroll in plans in the health insurance exchanges?
No. If you have Medicare you are considered covered and do not need to obtain health insurance coverage through the exchanges. For more information visit http://marketplace.cms.gov/getofficialresources/publications-and-articles/medicare-and-the-health-insurance-marketplace.pdf.

Life-Flo Lysine Outdoor Lip Therape with Monolaurin and Zinc is a balm which contains l-lysine, an amino acid extensively documented for cold sore treatment.
The amino acid l-lysine is valued for its use in the prevention and treatment of cold sores. Lysine demonstrates anti-viral properties which when applied topically would ensure the virus does not spread and is effectively eradicated.
Monolaurin is derived from coconut and is thought to disrupt the fatty envelope that surrounds the virus. Without this envelope, the virus cannot survive.
Lysine Lip Therape with Monolaurin helps moisturise, hydrate & protect your lips against cold sores.
Our In-House Pharmacist has written two articles on Lysine Lip Therape:

Many of the Washington Capitals' prospects are currently plying their trade with the Hershey Bears of the AHL, but they have a healthy number of prospects playing quality minutes in junior. Two are playing in the WHL, two in the OHL, two in the QMJHL, and one in the USHL. Three are from the 2009 draft class and four are from the 2010 draft class.
Cody Eakin, C, Swift Current Broncos
Acquired: 3rd round (85th overall) in 2009
May 24th, 1991. Ht: 6'0 Wt: 189 lbs.
The captain of the Broncos had a strong showing at the Capitals' training camp but was ultimately sent back to the WHL, where he has been dominant. He's posted 29 points in 25 games and is sparking the offense for Swift Current. He was also named captain of Team WHL for the 2010 Subway Series against the Russians. The offensive dynamo centered the top line for Team WHL in the Game 6 loss and series clincher for the Russians. He had a decent showing, and was named to Team Canada's World Junior selection camp recently. He'll be expected to contribute on the international stage for his country, putting the puck in the net and adding speed to the lineup.
Eakin continues to showing his scoring prowess as expected, but his defensive game is lacking right now, as evidenced by his minus-six. He's missed a few games resting a groin injury as well. Swift Current has had balanced scoring this season and Eakin's point totals have suffered as a result but he's providing good leadership and looks to be a factor in the Capitals' prospect pool for the years to come.
Garrett Mitchell, RW, Regina Pats
Acquired: 6th round (175th overall) in 2009
February 9th, 1991. Ht: 5'11 Wt: 185 lbs.
The captain of the Regina Pats is having another solid season, posting 14 points in 27 games thus far. It's on another part of the score sheet that he's showing his true talents: his penalty minutes total. He's registered 51 penalty minutes so far and has been involved in four fights. If he ever hopes to make the Capitals, it'll be a as a bottom-six agitator and he's been strutting his stuff so far in this very young junior season.
Look for him to make a splash at the Capitals' training camp within a few years with his great work ethic and phenomenal leadership skills.
Philipp Grubauer, G, Kingston Frontenacs
Acquired: 4th round (112th overall) in 2010
November 25th, 1991. Ht: 6'0 Wt: 170 lbs.
Tending the net for the Kingston Frontenacs, Grubauer has acquitted himself well as the starter thus far, posting 13 of the team's 15 wins. He sports a solid .909 save percentage, but also has a bloated 3.37 goals against average. The Frontenacs are having a decent season thus far, but they've barely scored more goals than they've given up, showing that Grubauer is keeping them in games and proving to be a difference maker. While his numbers aren't ideal, he's certainly doing well for himself based on the fact that Kingston is a middling team.
Look for Grubauer to lead Germany at the World Junior Championships and prove he's an elite amateur talent. A couple more years of seasoning are to be expected, but don't be surprised if the Capitals' announcers are calling his name in the not too distant future.
Brett Flemming, D, Mississauga St. Michael's Majors
Acquired: 5th round (145th overall) in 2009
February 26th, 1991. Ht: 5'11 Wt: 184 lbs.
Flemming is having a breakout season for Mississauga St. Michael's Majors, as he's on pace for a career high in points and is at the top of the OHL in terms of plus-minus, with a plus-25 rating in 25 games. St. Michael's has been dominant thus far, winning 22 out of 25 games, leading the entire OHL in points and winning percentage. Much of the credit goes to their spectacular offense, but the defense and goaltending has been outstanding as well, with the lowest goals against so far. Flemming has been an integral part of the backline, providing a steady mix of offensive skill and defensive dependability, as evidenced by his gaudy plus-minus numbers.
However, seeing as this is his fourth season in the OHL, Flemming's improved statistics are to be expected because he has so much experience. While he's progressing nicely, he's still a long shot to make the NHL seeing as he's relatively small for a defenseman and might not be able to handle the rigors of the ultra-physical NHL.
Stanislav Galiev, LW, St. John Sea Dogs
Acquired: 3rd round (86th overall) in 2010
January 17th, 1992. Ht: 6'1 Wt: 188 lbs.
Galiev, the slick-skating Russian playing for St. John, is following up his impressive rookie year with a point-per-game campaign so far, with 22 points in 23 games. St. John is off to a torrid pace this season, with a 22-3-2 record and they have scored almost 60 more goals than they have given up. Galiev is the sixth-leading scorer on this strong St. John squad, although his plus-six is well off the pace of most of his teammates. This season, he's showing that his rookie scoring numbers weren't a fluke, but he hasn't made as big a leap this season as some were expecting. Some of the younger players on the team have really stepped up and are leading the way offensively, while Galiev is playing more of a complementary role. Galiev also played in one game in the 2010 Subway Series, in which he registered a shot but was otherwise not very noticeable.
All things considered, he's still very young and still adjusting to the North American playing style. With a few more years to develop at the junior and pro level, he could prove to be a diamond in the rough after being selected in the third round.
Samuel Carrier, D, Lewiston MAINEiacs
Acquired: 6th round (176th overall) in 2010
April 28th, 1992 Ht: 6'0 Wt: 186 lbs.
Carrier is having a strong season for Lewiston, with 18 points and a plus-11 in 28 games, second in scoring by defensemen for the MAINEiacs. Lewiston is having a great season, currently second in the TELUS East Division and fourth overall in the QMJHL. Carrier has been excellent on the power play, tied for the team lead in power play goals with three. There's where he's expected to contribute, with his booming shot and offensive instincts. He's still relatively small when compared to NHL defenseman but his offensive flair is well-respected around the QMJHL.
Carrier still needs several more years of seasoning level before he's ready to play at the NHL, but in time he could prove to be a valuable power play specialist.
Caleb Herbert, C, Sioux City Musketeers
Acquired: 5th round (142nd overall) in 2010
October 12th, 1991 Ht: 5'11 Wt: 185 lbs.
Herbert got off to a fast start in the USHL with Sioux City, and was named CCM's Offensive Player of the Week in late October. He also represented Team USA in the World Junior A Challenge, where he notched three points in four official games en route to a tournament victory for Team USA. He's posted 12 points in 13 USHL games, but he's far off the points leaders after spending the beginning of the season as a top-three scorer. He may have hit a wall, but if he can dominate like he did in the first handful of games, he'll find his way back to the scoring leader board.
Herbert will play for the University of Minnesota-Duluth in 2011-12, where he'll hone his game for at least a few years. So far he's shown that the offensive wizardry he displayed in high school wasn't a fluke and if he can translate his high-skill game to the college level, he has a chance to make an impact with the Capitals down the line.

Morning Fizz
Developers Scoff at Both Sawant and Burgess
Rent resolution, neighborhood reaction, Eyman violation, and housing consternation.
1. The he-said (council president Tim Burgess) she-said (socialist council member Kshama Sawant) standoff yesterday over rent control has led a group of local developer and business interests to say: A plague on both your houses!
Sawant, who's been pushing council to pass her pro–rent control resolution, hailed the council's eight-to-one vote to approve Burgess's milder version yesterday. It calls for local control over rent regulations, but doesn't support rent control. Sawant claimed that her movement had forced the council to act, while Burgess claimed his version was an explicit rejection of Sawant's terms and fiery rhetoric.
Ryan Bayne, a spokesman for the Coalition for Housing Solutions, a group that represents the chamber, realtors, builders, and land use attorneys, says: "It used to be that when the council would pass bad policy, it was at least popular with Seattle voters. Now, if you get a few loud folks with banners in the room, they'll pass policy that is both counterproductive and unpopular with Seattle voters."
Bayne, whose business coalition has joined with affordable housing advocates like the Housing Development Consortium and Puget Sound SAGE to support the mayor's Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda "grand bargain" for upzones and mandatory affordable housing, is referring to a poll last June showing "rent control" wasn't exactly something Seattle voters were rallying around.
2. Have an opinion about last month's Capitol Hill street closure pilot wherein cars were not allowed to drive on Pike Street?
Local property owners and retailers have raised concerns about the August pilot, complaining that street closures help brand Capitol Hill as a party district instead of a dynamic neighborhood.
There's a meeting tonight at the 12th Avenue Arts building from 6pm to 7:30 where you can weigh in; Survey Monkey poll here.
SDOT director Scott Kubly was mum when I asked for his take on how it went, but Office of Economic Development staffer Heidi Hall, who's currently analyzing surveys about the test run, told Fizz: "Anecdotally we heard from a lot of people that they liked having more space to walk around and felt safer, so we will see how the data plays out. People responded very positively to the community programming on the August 22 pilot night, some saying it brought out people who don't typically come out on a weekend night and that it set a more positive tone for the night."
The city's initial data from the surveys made a compelling case for the street closure. Hall reports that 70 percent of people were walking, biking, using transit, or using ride share as part of their trip to and from the neighborhood, and adds: "a majority of people are coming to Pike/Pine in the evenings without a car."
Those numbers are only likely to increase when the Capitol Hill light rail opens early next year (fingers crossed).
3. State Public Disclosure Commission investigators say they've found evidence that ubiquitous antitax initiative hawker Tim Eyman used campaign funds for personal use.
PDC investigators tracked money raised for a 2012 ballot measure and said in their findings that they "found evidence that Mr. Eyman made personal use of approximately $170,000 of those funds, using them for personal living expenses to support his family."
Citizen Solutions was paid more than $1.1 million to qualify Eyman-backed Initiative 1185 for the 2012 ballot.
The report says that while Citizen Solutions was to receive $3.50 per voter signature as part of an initial agreement on I-1185, records indicate Citizen Solutions paid petition coordinators between $1 and $1.40 per signature, keeping at least $2.10 per signature.
The PDC said Citizen Solutions then paid an unreported $308,185 in July 2012 to a limited-liability company formed by Eyman.
4. Last week, we reported that despite the widely acknowledged affordable housing crisis, mayor Ed Murray had passed on an innovative plan to build affordable housing near the future Roosevelt light rail stop. The plan called for building housing on the dilapidated property across the street from Roosevelt High School on 14th Avenue Northeast between 65th and 66th.
Instead, the mayor is using money—$2.9 million in fines on the longtime delinquent landlord and property owner Hugh Sisley—to build a park.
Yesterday, green architect Rob Harrison, who had led the charge for the housing solution (along with Roosevelt neighborhood activist Katherine Mackinnon) sent a letter to the city council urging them to reject Murray's plan and pointing out that "The parcel in question provides the capacity for an additional 50 to 60 dwelling units to be built within about 200 feet of the new Roosevelt Link Light Rail Station. Eighty-two point two percent of area residents live within a quarter mile of a park."

text: Prayer for August 3: Please pray with me. Calming God, today we pray for all who live in anger. We pray for those who are victimized and turn to anger. We pray for those who get a rush from being angry. We pray for all those who have to experience the wrath of another person. Calm our hearts. Lower our emotions from the anger that burns within. Help us to see that anger only destroys and does not build up. Help us also to not have a blind eye to injustice around us. Let us not be angry about it, thinking that in anger we are doing something, but rather be moved by it to point that we act. Amen.

Chromatin as a potential carrier of heritable information

Organisms with the same genome can inherit information in addition to that encoded in the DNA sequence-this is known as epigenetic inheritance. Epigenetic inheritance is responsible for many of the phenotypic differences between different cell types in multicellular organisms. Work by many investigators over the past decades has suggested that a great deal of epigenetic information might be carried in the pattern of post-translational modifications of the histone proteins, although this is not as well established as many believe. For example, it is unclear whether and how the histones, which are displaced from the chromosome during passage of the replication fork and are often exchanged from the DNA template at other times, carry information from one cellular generation to the next. Here, we briefly review the evidence that some chromatin states are indeed heritable, and then focus on the mechanistic challenges that remain in order to understand how this inheritance can be achieved.

Calanova Golf Course opens its doors in February 2006, designed by Julian Garcia Mayoral. The golf course is in Mijas Golf Valley, 10 kilometres from Fuengirola and 15 kilometres from Marbella city.
Greens have an average area above 450 sqm. Players will find them very exciting due to an extraordinary shaping work. This characteristic will allow a lot of pin positions, from the very simple to the most difficult ones. There are a variety of fairways layouts. All of them are wide in the ball drop areas and clear, so that the player can see the obstacles before hitting the ball. Being a sloppy terrain, every fairway is quite flat, and then players won't have very difficult stands in order to hit the ball comfortably. Due to their shape, they will remind you to a Link course. Tees are spread in different platforms, providing the players the possibility of playing the course with a huge variety of distances.

Although sporting a short hairstyle has its benefits, it can also have drawbacks. One of the drawbacks is that if you get bored with your hairstyle, there is not too much you can do to change it. Well, fret no more. Use a wave cap to return luster to your short hair.
Ensure that your hair does not exceed 1 inch in length.
Brush your hair with the soft bristle hairbrush. A wooden brush is best, as you will be able to grasp it better to apply pressure while brushing. You should brush your hair in the direction of your natural wave pattern. Typically you will brush the top of your hair forward and the sides and back downward. The directions will slightly vary, depending upon your hair. Continue brushing your hair until your natural wave pattern is highly defined, about, 10 to 15 minutes..
Apply wave pomade all over your hair. Start with quarter-size portions to the top, side and back of your head.
Brush your hair in the direction of your natural wave patterns for an additional 15 minutes. As you brush, apply a little pressure. Apply more wave pomade as needed. Adding too much wave pomade will cause your scalp to itch.
Apply the wave cap to your head. Be careful so that you don't mess up your wave pattern while putting on the cap. Sleep with the wave cap on your head to set your waves. Remove the cap when you are ready to reveal your waves.
Repeat steps three through five nightly to keep your wave pattern set and looking fresh.

It was soon after that I began thinking about "food as fuel." Who is your inspiration? My mom, my dad, Meredith Vieira… What is the biggest misconception about being a nutritionist? People are convinced I eat healthy foods 100 percent of the time… but I promise I splurge too! I love peanut M&Ms, soft serve vanilla ice cream, and hard, crunchy sugar cookies. And yes, my kids DO eat candy. What's the best part of your job? Being able to help people change their lives for the better. There is nothing more rewarding than watching self conscious, depressed, and unhealthy people transform into confident, happy, energetic individuals with new dreams, hobbies and relationships. What's the worst part of your job? Getting up at the crack of dawn! And also making friends and colleagues self-conscious about their food order when we dine together. What is your favorite spa treatment, and why? Swedish, deep tissue massage! Anything that involves getting rubbed, I'm in! What is your favorite spa in the world? Canyon Ranch *If you could remove one food from every American's diet what would it be? I'd actually have to go with a drink… SODA! It's liquid candy (100% pure sugar) and it packs on the pounds, promotes inflammation, wreaks havoc on blood sugars, and damages heart health. Sweetened drinks like soda, sweetened waters, juice drinks, and sugary coffee concoctions are a major contributor to our country's obesity epidemic, and I think most people's waistlines would benefit if we removed them from our diet completely. If you could add one food to every American's diet what would it be? Spinach—it's a nutritional powerhouse! It's loaded with beta carotene for radiant skin, potassium and magnesium to help manage blood pressure, vitamin C for healthy joints and eyes, vitamin K and iron for healthy blood supply, and even more vitamins and minerals…plus fiber, which helps lower cholesterol and protect overall heart health. You can't beat it. Do you believe in supplements? If so which supplements should women add to their daily health regime? Yes, supplements can definitely be valuable additions to a healthy diet in certain cases. Women can consider taking a standard multivitamin (I do personally) with at least 800 IU vitamin D3. Some women may benefit from fish oils, and others may need a calcium supplement (if they're not consistently getting enough calcium from food and drink sources). I strongly advise speaking with your physician or a registered dietitian to help you decide if you're a candidate for any supplements beyond a standard multi, since it really depends on your personal health history. Should women take a multi-vitamin every day? If so, which? It's really a personal choice? In terms of the research, studies show that taking a daily multi neither improves nor harms your overall health. If you feel like your diet has some nutritional gaps, taking a standard multivitamin (without any mega-doses of individual vitamins or minerals) can be a good insurance policy—but it certainly won't compensate for a poor diet. If you could name one food king of all other foods what would it be and why? This is too tough—there are way too many healthy foods, each with their unique benefits! But if I HAD to choose a food category, I'd pick non-starchy vegetables in general (leafy greens, bell peppers, carrots, tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, etc.). They're ultra-low in calories and high in volume (thanks to their high water content), which means they're incredibly filling. Plus, they're rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants—all ingredients for good health and great looks! If you could have any other job in the world what would it be? Rockstar… sadly I can only sing in the shower (and even then, my kids complain). What is your favorite restaurant in the world? Any restaurant I'm eating in when I'm hungry! Where is your favorite place in the world to be outdoors? The backyard of our Berkshires family home… or hiking in beautiful Sedona, AZ. What is the best advice you ever got? Don't try to change/help people who don't want to be changed/helped (it's exhausting, frustrating, and unrewarding). What does a gluten-free diet consist of? Why would someone want to go gluten-free? Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten-free diets eliminate these grains as well as any products or ingredients made from wheat, rye, or barley. People diagnosed with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance should avoid gluten. Some people (and celebs) follow a gluten-free diet for weight loss, but there's really no advantage to restricting gluten if you don't have a medical reason to do so. However, on the other hand, many people do feel better after removing gluten from their diet even if they're not diagnosed with celiac or a gluten intolerance. Bottom line: go with your gut (pun intended), it's a personal decision. If you do decide to cut out gluten, definitely skip the gluten-free junk (cupcakes, cookies, doughnuts) and stick with healthy, whole foods. What's your number one tip for Moms trying to keep their kids healthy? Stock your house with healthy foods! Make sure produce is front and center at meals and minimize the junk food you keep in the house. And of course, be a good role model for your kids by staying active and making smart food choices yourself. Healthy habits are contagious…monkey see, monkey do! What is your #1 secret for losing 5 lbs this week? Limit starchy carbs (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes). Starchy foods are calorie-dense and easy to overeat, which means cutting back on these foods can give you a big weight loss boost. Have just 1-2 servings of high-quality starch (such as whole grain bread or pasta, brown or wild rice, high-fiber cereal, oatmeal) with breakfast and lunch and completely omit starch with dinner (instead, fill your plate with lean protein like skinless poultry or seafood and non-starchy vegetables). I can't promise you'll drop 5 pounds in a week, but you'll definitely see a change on the scale and feel lighter and more energized! What made you decide to revamp the original version of your book Food Cures? There is so much going on in the world of nutrition right now and new research is constantly being published, allowing us to understand more and more about how food affects our health and helps people prevent or manage high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, and other common health concerns. This year, I decided enough had changed to warrant putting out a new edition with updated and revised nutrition recommendations based on new science. What information have you added to the book that wasn't included in the original edition? Too many things to list! Every single chapter has been updated based on information from new studies (I cite over 500 scientific studies in the back of the book!). Plus I added a new chapter on Cancer Prevention, which covers foods to eat and avoid to reduce your risk. I've also tweaked the menu plans and updated the shopping lists for each chapter, and added new "Frequently Asked Questions" to reflect what I currently get asked about most often by people I meet. What information is still the same today as it was in 2007? Some things haven't changed! In general, I'm still recommending diets rich in high-quality carbohydrates like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats (these are the basic tenets of a healthy diet and they're not going anywhere). But when it comes to the specific nutrients you want to seek out (and avoid) for particular health conditions, there are some changes and updates based on the latest science.

text: 01.04.14 NTi extends XL2 functionality AUTHOR: Inavate AUDIO NTi has added individual under-range indicators for both C- and Z-weighted sound levels within its XL2 Sound Level Meter. The XL2 is designed to support high measurement accuracy with under-range indicators. These inform users, during low level measurements, that an alternative microphone with lower noise floor or higher sensitivity should be used. In the past the XL2 indicated when readings were below the linear measurement range for the A-weighted level in accordance with the standard IEC 61672. Now the instrument displays an under-range status also for individual levels with C or Z frequency weighting. Should any sound level be detected as under-range, then the XL2 marks this level with the new symbol "<", e.g. "LZeq < 23 dB". AUDIO

Madison Isthmus Article on Bike Laws
"Clayton Griessmeyer, a Verona-based attorney who does pro bono work for local bicycle groups, has agreed to represent Host-Jablonski in contesting her citation and hopes the case will help clarify such situations. "A lot of drivers in Wisconsin don't even know the law" about bicycle clearance, he says, noting that this is a subject on which he hears frequent complaints. And this case suggests "some police don't know the law either," or else choose not to enforce it." Full article here.

SingStar is back on PlayStation 3, but there's no danger of it suffering from second album syndrome; there are enough classic tracks from all genres to keep everyone happy. Among the 30 songs are massive hits from The Killers, Eminem and Gorillaz.
There's a new mode called Harmony Duet, in which two players sing different lines of the same song, at the same time. It offers the perfect opportunity to show off your harmonies on songs like California Dreamin' by The Mamas & The Papas or We All Stand Together by Paul McCartney & the Frog Chorus.
Song collections are easier to browse than ever, thanks to a slick new design interface.
Remote Play for PSP allows you to access SingStore, where you can download more than 300 new tracks and create playlists on the move. You can also share your best and worst performances, rate other people and leave comments at My SingStar Online.
*Please note that PlayStation Home is only available in the following languages: English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.
You can duet!
Starting up SingStar Vol.2 for the first time is a familiar experience; SCEE's London Studios has resisted any urge to overhaul the look of the game to retain accessibility and promote uniformity across the series and its incredibly popular community hubs, My SingStar Online and singstargame.com.
The main difference between Vol.2 and its predecessor is, of course, the track list. It's a credit to the SingStar team that after several collections on both PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, they are still able to come up with such an excellent selection of music. There seems to be something to cater for all ages and all tastes in music; from Street Spirit by Radiohead to Spandau Ballet's True, to Eminem's Without Me.
As with the PlayStation 2 titles, you can press the SELECT button and change the disc, allowing access to all the tracks from the original SingStar on PlayStation 3 without having to restart the game.
The second noticeable difference to the previous game is the new Harmony Duet mode, which allows two players to sing different lines to the same song. This is an excellent new addition, thanks to the inclusion of songs that complement it brilliantly, such as California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas. Each player's lyrics are colour coded and positioned at opposite ends of the screen to prevent confusion and the parts in which both voices come together for a harmony - which carries the incentive of bonus points - feel extremely satisfying if performed well.
The third major new feature is Remote Play for PSP, which allows you to access the SingStore and all of the community features at My SingStar Online while you're on the move. As long as you're within range of an Internet connection, you can download tracks ready for when you get home, create playlists, share performances with friends and view their videos using your PSP.
It all works smoothly and quickly, and it removes the inconvenience of having to wait for downloads and create playlists while you and your friends are itching to sing.
The game's community hubs, My SingStar Online and singstargame.com continue to go from strength to strength. Thousands of users have shared videos that are available for all to watch, rate and comment on, and uploading your own performances is easy using PlayStation Eye and following the simple in-game instructions.
Similarly, the SingStore is continually updated and now boasts hundreds of tracks across all territories.
SingStar Vol. 2 is more of a second album that a sequel, in that it adds to the SingStar experience without dramatically altering it. Harmony Duet mode and Remote Play are welcome additions to an already winning formula, and judging by the size of the game's community, one that has captured the imagination of PlayStation owners.
The 30 songs included on the disc alone make this title a worthwhile purchase, and the added features are the icing on the cake. With the SingStar team consistently coming up with excellent track lists and with SingStore, My SingStar Online and singstargame.com growing all the time, the future is looking bright for bedroom superstars.

Two British producers are connecting on a new split double album. James Holden and Luke Abbott's Outdoor Museum of Fractals/555Hz is out February 26 via the Border Community.
The albums are described by the label as "extended synth meditations." Both pieces, which are over 30 minutes each, were conceived as part of a celebration of the great minimalist composer Terry Riley. Holden's Outdoor Museum of Fractals is a collaboration with tabla player Camilo Tirado. Abbott's 555Hz is a metallic gong drone record.
Watch Doug Aitken's "Altered Earth" performance featuring Holden and Abbott's muse, Terry Riley:
