Blue Collar Man Travis Tritt
I don't like hangin' out with a high dollar crowd
I ain't no socialite I'm a little too loud
I don't do garden parties sippin' hot tea
Down in some honky tonk, brother
That's the place for me
[D7]A hard days livin' is all that I [A7]understand
Well, I owe [E7]my soul to MasterCard
[D7]I'm a blue collar man
[A7]I bust my bottom every day eight to five
I come home draggin' feelin' barely alive
The kids are screamin', house is turned upside down
Need a bulldozer just to find my way around
[D7]Don't like caviar, we like our soup from a[A7] can
Yeah,[E7] I keep my life simple
[D7]I'm a blue collar man
[A7]Don't need computers handlin' my bank account
Balance my checkbook there's a zero amount
Four-carat diamond's not on my lady's hand
We live a life rich folks could never understand
[D7]I make my livin' with these two hard workin[A7]' hands
Won't [E7]ever be no millionaire
[D7]I'm a blue collar man
Won't [E7]ever be no millionaire
[D7]I'm a blue collar man
[A7]blue collar, blue collar man
I'm a blue collar man

Court procedures differ slightly from state to state, and more than three centuries have seen the evolution of American court procedures, yet many procedures date from the Middle Ages. On 1 June 1872, federal courts changed their procedural rules to conform to those of the states within which they were located. An overview of civil, criminal, and equity actions will define basic words and illuminate what is happening in court minutes and on the dockets.<ref>Based on Clarence N. Callender, American Courts: Their Organization and Procedures (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1927).</ref>
Starting the Action (Pleadings) in Civil Cases
Every civil action begins with the issuing of a writ, in modern times usually a writ of summons, a command that notifies the defendant to appear before the court to answer a charge. The clerk, upon request of the plaintiff or an attorney, issues the writ under the court's authority.
The court directs the sheriff or constable to serve the initiating writ on the defendant. In most jurisdictions, the defendant must receive it personally, but in a few, the sheriff can leave it with an adult member of the family or with someone in charge at the place of business. The usual procedure is for the sheriff to produce the original writ, tell the defendant its contents, and provide him or her with a copy. The sheriff will then make out a return, usually on the back of the original writ, stating where, when, and upon whom he has served it, sign it, and return it to the clerk of the court on or before the return day specified in the writ. The writ and the return are filed in the case file or packet as part of the permanent record of the case. In most cases, an action cannot proceed until the writ has actually been served. The notable exception is in divorce actions. The writ may be published in newspapers when the defendant is outside of the court's jurisdiction or when his or her whereabouts are unknown. In some cases, property may be seized by the sheriff to compel an absent defendant to appear.
The next step is the filing of the plaintiff's claim. This pleading may be called a statement of claim, a complaint, or a petition. The purpose of the declaration or petition is to explain clearly the plaintiff's reason for taking action so that the defendant knows the nature of the claim and so that there is "a cause of action sufficient in law" to justify a judgment in favor of the plaintiff. The declaration and notice are filed with the court clerk, and a copy is served on the defendant or his attorney. In some jurisdictions, only the attorneys exchange pleadings, not filing them with the clerk of the court until they have been completed or until a judgment may be entered.
The defendant then counters with an answer or affidavit of defense admitting or denying the various claims contained in the plaintiff's declaration. It may also present new information bearing on the defense. It is filed with the court clerk, and a copy is served upon the plaintiff or his attorney. If the defendant fails to file an answer within the time allowed by law, the plaintiff is entitled upon motion of the court to enter judgment by default for "failure to file and answer." The clerk enters the judgment in the court records, and the court provides for the enforcement of the judgment.
When the declaration and answer have been filed, and if the case has not been judged before, then it is "at issue"-ready for trial before a judge and jury. (In many courts, the parties can waive a jury trial and elect to have their case tried before the judge alone.) The case is then scheduled on the court's docket. In earlier times, there could be repeated exchanges of pleas between the plaintiff and the defendant, each exchange with its own name, like reply or replication, rejoinder, sur rejoinder, and rebutter.
Most jurisdictions encourage litigating parties to settle their case out of court to save time and money. When it happens, the clerk usually notes it in the court records. Some jurisdictions require that civil cases under a certain amount be brought before a court of arbitration or conciliation before a trial. At this point, there are certain motions that can be entered to delay (stay) judgment. These motions pertain to points of law (legal technicalities). A record of them and their disposition is also part of the case file.
Starting the Action (Pleadings) in Criminal Cases
When a crime has been committed, the offender must be brought, by some legal process, before a tribunal to hear the complaint and take appropriate action. Before the days of organized law enforcement, in any locality, the citizens of a community were responsible to see that offenses were reported and the alleged offenders physically brought to court (presentment). Presentment could be made by private persons, constables, town watchmen, selectmen of the town, elected town presenters, grand jurors, government officials, paid informers, church wardens, tithing men, or by the court itself. For example, during the seventeenth century, the English tithing system was established in some colonies for short periods of time. Every male over age twelve was enrolled in a tithing (usually ten households), and one was appointed tithing man, responsible to inspect the households under his supervision regularly so that "sin and disorder may be prevented and suppressed," to see that everyone attended church on Sunday and kept the day holy, retired at curfew, and did not play cards or engage in other illegal gaming. The tithing man had to report offenders to the court or be fined.
Today, the injured person, or the state acting for society as a whole, enters a complaint. The court orders the offender to be summoned, usually by means of a warrant or writ of capias issued to an authorized officer (the sheriff, marshal, or other police officer). The officer takes the person named in the writ into custody and usually holds him or her in jail. This officer must produce the accused before the court at a specified time for a hearing. If the apprehension was legal, the person will be recommitted to jail or released on bail to await trial. If not, he or she will be released unconditionally.
Bail is the posting of a bond, a written promise to pay a set amount of money if the accused does not appear in court, and a cash deposit, surety bond from an insurance company, or pledge of property may be required to guarantee payment. In default of bail, the accused is committed to jail and kept in custody until the case is disposed of by trial or appeal. Capital crimes may have no provisions for bail.
If the crime is minor, the matter may be disposed of by a summary trial before the magistrate without a jury. For example, if the police arrest a vagrant upon the street without a formal complaint having been made, the magistrate decides both facts and law. The amount of the fine or the type of punishment a magistrate may impose is limited by statute.
In most cases, however, the next step is a preliminary hearing held before a magistrate to determine if the evidence against the accused is sufficient to justify holding him or her for trial. Guilt or innocence is not the issue. Witnesses are often called to testify, and the court, in some jurisdictions, requires the testimony to be written, attested, and signed by the witnesses.
The magistrate must prepare a copy of the hearing and the case, usually within a limited number of days, to send to the court where the trial is to take place. It contains the name of the defendant, the nature of the charge, the names of the prosecutors and witnesses (sometimes their evidence), the information upon which the arrest was made, and the bail bond.
In earlier times in the case of murder, the coroner held an inquest before a jury, which heard evidence and rendered a verdict about the cause of death. The coroner then provided a return to the court based upon this semi-judicial investigation. This report was usually presented at the preliminary hearing and became a part of the court record. In recent years, coroners' records have come under the jurisdiction of the state or county medical examiners and no longer include a determination of guilt set by an inquest jury.
In the next step, the defendant is brought before the court (arraigned), either to plead guilty and be sentenced at once without further trial or to plead not guilty and be bound over for the trial.
Collecting Testimony
At the point when the trial is scheduled, civil and criminal procedures are similar. Witnesses are summoned by subpoena to appear at the trial on behalf of the plaintiff or the defendant. If witnesses must bring documents, the writ describes them. The sheriff, marshal, or constable must serve the subpoena directly on the witness and submit a return to the court. If the witness fails to appear at the time and place specified, a bench warrant is issued on the spot for his or her arrest, and an officer of the court goes out to find the witness.
A representative of the court interviews and takes depositions from witnesses who live outside the jurisdiction of the court or who are ill, maimed, or unable to appear in person. Sometimes the testimony consists of answers to written questions (interrogatories) prepared by the court and forwarded to a local court where the witness resides.
These written statements must be attested, and the witness must sign them. Depositions, and any interrogatories, become part of the permanent record of the court. In early cases, these depositions may be the only written accounts of what the witnesses actually said. They are especially valuable if an out-of-state family member is providing testimony needed to probate an estate or divide a piece of property.
The Trial
Trial procedures may be prescribed by law or by local custom. The jury is selected by drawing names from a list prepared at the beginning of the court term (these lists are recorded in the minutes) or by summoning "twelve good and lawful men, housekeepers" as their names appeared in rotation on the tax rolls. Each party has the right to challenge jurors and dismiss those it feels are "prejudicial to the case." The jury is then to perform its duties impartially, based on the evidence presented. Where jury trial is waived, the judge considers the case. A non-jury trial will usually be shorter, with fewer documents.
Presenting the case includes statements by the plaintiff and the defendant (or their attorneys), testimony from the witnesses and cross-examination, introduction of written depositions, review of documents or other exhibits before the court, summation of the case with a parting speech to the judge and/or jury by each side, and instructions to the jury on the points of law at issue. At this point, the jury or the judge retires to consider the case and arrive at a verdict. The verdict must be unanimous.
Rendering judgment is the judge's responsibility. The judge relies on the verdict of the jury or personal deliberations to arrive at a decision. In early days, verdict and judgment were given the same day. More recently, there may be up to ninety days between the two. The clerk of the court is required by law to record the names of the parties, the judgment, amounts of money recovered (if any), and the time allowed for meeting the judgment. For example, a money award for damages to crops and fences by a stampeding herd of cattle, to be paid within sixty days, will be entered in the court record. A receipt for payment is often filed with the court, and the clerk may paste it at the top or bottom of the page where the judgment is recorded in the case file or packet.
Before 1865, a jail sentence was unusual. Local jails served only to hold the accused for trial. Criminal courts were often called "gaol delivery" because they emptied the jails of prisoners. Instead of "doing time," the convicted person might be whipped, pilloried, submerged in cold water, forced to labor on a public project, or sentenced to pay fines and damages. Capital crimes brought death or banishment.
Imprisonment for debt was common in most jurisdictions during the colonial period and even later. Eventually, the courts determined that incarceration rendered a debtor incapable of working to repay the debts. With this realization, more debtors faced fines than prison. Some records of sentencing for debt (or later bankruptcy, see the image at right) include lists of creditors and assets. An excellent history of how the courts dealt with debtors will be found in Debtor's Dominion: A History of Bankruptcy Law in America.<ref>David Skeel, Debtor's Dominion: A History of Bankruptcy Law in America (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 2001).</ref> Consult the reference section under Bankruptcy and Debt for other studies.
Enforcing the Judgment (Execution)
Once a judgment is rendered, the court commands the sheriff, marshal, or constable to carry it out. Some courts ordered imprisonment or labor until the judgment had been met.
In the case of debt, imprisonment was often useless because the person in custody had no way to earn the money. "Judgment-proof" debtors-those certified by the court as unable to pay-could laugh at creditors.
If the judgment debtor owned property, the court issued an order for the sheriff to seize and sell it (known as "attachment") to satisfy the creditor's claims. In some jurisdictions, the property must be taken into custody before judgment is given as security that the creditor can recover if the debtor fails to make payment. A companion action is distraint-property is taken into custody to impel the debtor to come to court. When the person appears in court, the property is returned. Personal property is actually brought to the courthouse, and the officer in charge makes an inventory. In some jurisdictions the creditor must post a bond for the value of the property attached to indemnify the officer against unlawful seizure.
Seizure of real property consists of recording a writ against the title, called a judgment lien, and giving notice to the person in possession that the land has become court property and cannot be disposed of or sold by the owner. Homesteads (dwelling house and a small piece of garden property), pensions, bankrupt property, property in hands of guardians or trustees, cemeteries, tools of trade, and insurance are usually exempt from attachment.
If the debtor fails to make payment, the sheriff takes control of the property and posts it for sale by publicly advertising on placards, in newspapers, by town crier, or by Sunday notice in church. Then the property is auctioned to the highest bidder, and the proceeds go to the creditor for redress, costs, and damages.
Each step generates court records. Brief summaries appear in minutes, orders, and judgments; documents, testimony, and exhibits (plus copies of orders), writs, judgments, and notices will be found in the case packets.
New Trials and Appeals
A litigant, usually the loser but sometimes the winner if he or she received less than petitioned for, can appeal the case within a specified period of time. Each state determines by law which court may hear which appeals. Federal judiciary acts provide similarly on the federal level. Some states have only one appeals court; some allow only specific cases to be appealed; and some place a limit on the amount of damages an appeals court can handle.
When the appellate court issues a writ allowing the case to be heard, the litigants prepare briefs containing the facts of the case, errors committed, and reasons why appeal is sought. After printing became common, briefs were printed in multiple copies for the judges, attorneys, litigants, case files, and news media.
New trials or appeals are granted if the judge erred on the admissibility of evidence, the verdict was contrary to the evidence, the verdict was contrary to the law, the judge erred in the charge to the jury, and/or new evidence becomes available.
When errors occur, the case is tried only on the legal technicalities involved, not on the evidence offered in the trial. The judges consider the matter individually, then collectively, and render their opinions-usually in writing-at a later date.
If the court grants a new trial, the case is sent back to the trial court and the whole case is retried in accordance with rules laid down by the appeals court.

Many years before automobiles and paved highways, Thomas Jefferson envisioned a grid system of roads across the United States. In 1925, a governmental board laid out interstate routes loosely based on the grid system. East-West routes were even numbered while North-South routes were given odd numbers.
A need for a route from Chicago to Los Angeles was apparent. The intended route was to head south from Chicago to Springfield, Illinois and then directly west to California. Cyrus Avery, an influential member of the committee, convinced the other committee members that a more southerly route through the flatlands of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and into California would be cheaper to build and also have the advantage of being an "all weather" road by avoiding the high Rocky Mountains which would have been crossed by the more northerly path. According to the grid pattern being followed, 62, 64 and 66 were available designations. Kansas used 62 for a secondary road so the board submitted its plan for Route 66. Approval came in 1926 and the rest is history.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Carolina Herrera Says Kristen "was very Moved' on wearing the BD Wedding Dress
PeopleStyleWatch We knew the gown Carolina Herrera created specifically for the Breaking Dawn wedding took six months to design and that it left Robert Pattinson floored, but in the new issue of Town and Country Weddings, the designer reveals Kristen Stewart's very personal reaction.
"We did three fittings. When she initially put on the dress and looked over her shoulder into the mirror, she was very moved," Herrera tells the mag, on stands Wednesday. "In that moment she was not an actress or a character in a film but instead a bride, and a happy one at that."
The dress seen in the sketch (above) is what the designer calls a "union between Stephenie [Meyer's] description in the book and the Herrera bridal aesthetic" — something she has been perfecting for 25 years.
"I took into consideration the character of Bella and Kristen's portrayal of her, and what this fantasy character would choose to wear for the most important day of her life," she explains of the masterpiece, which retails for $35,000. "It's made of a crepe satin with two inserts on the front and beautiful silk thread topstitching. The neckline is a slight V, just enough to see the collarbones. The back is oval-shaped, with a Chantilly lace border veiled in tulle. It's very romantic, and when all the details come together, it creates a vision specific to Bella's style and personality."

The phone book spammers count those property-value killers into their circulation numbers, which is how they sucker businesses into buying listings in the yellow pages. Minnesota blogger Ed Kohler is even angrier about phone book spam than I am, and is on a bit of a mission to never have a phone book on his property again. So he got a little pissed when Verizon, a company he has no business relationship with, tossed one on his steps.
First, Ed tried returning a Verizon phone book to their local office in Eagan, MN, tossing it on their local office's putting green like they tossed it onto his front step, as documented in this video:
But why waste gas? One of Ed's readers says she has "chased down delivery trucks and [thrown] phone books back at them." She also got Verizon to come back for its trash one day when her shot missed.
Looking further, Ed uncovered a phonebook industry slideshow discussing ways to combat legislation that would give consumers a meaningful choice whether or not to receive phone books. Which makes sense, since the media—old and new—aren't saying very nice things about phone books (or their new online directories). And, it seems, at least one company, Qwest, is paying bloggers to recommend the Qwest Dex.
So Ed has devoted a good number of pixels to the phone books that keep coming even though he and others beg them to stop. Does it do any good? Well, just a few days ago, Minnesota Representative Paul Gardner took on the issue, and started legislation to make it easier to opt out:
If you don't live in Minnesota, you can theoretically unsubscribe at Yellow Pages Goes Green. It seems to have reduced the phone books I get, at least, although it has not eliminated them entirely.
If I throw something on your lawn, it is called littering. If the phone company does it, it's called marketing. Does anyone even use phone books these days? Are you even in the phone book anymore?

If these cold arctic temps are making you feel down, if the cloudy skies and rare sunny days have you feeling low, it's possible you may be depressed.
And believe it or not, there's actually a condition for it.
If these cold arctic temps are making you feel down, if the cloudy skies and rare sunny days have you feeling low, it's possible you may be depressed.
And believe it or not, there's actually a condition for it.
In slang terms it's referred to as the winter blues or seasonal depression, but the full medical term is Seasonal Affected Disorder, and all comedy aside it's often referred to as SAD.
Chuck Johnson, psychiatric services coordinator with Blessing Hospital in Quincy, Ill., explains its a clinical diagnosis.
"It occurs more often in the northern areas of the United States and is directly effected by the amount of sunlight people get in the winter months. Seattle, people in Canada, people in the northern states — the farther north you get, the more hours of darkness you get during the day time," Johnson said. "People in this area, it's very common; people have more depression during the winter months than they do during the summer months. One of the things that affects it too is during the winter months, people who are used to getting out, working in the garden, and doing their yard, and doing basketball, and doing outside activities are all at once stuck in the house. People get this kind of feeling of being closed in with the kids, and the spouse, and you got all these people in a restricted area."
He adds that SAD affects every six out of 100 people in the U.S., and it's mostly women between the ages of 18 and 30. The disorder can play with the pineal gland in the brain which can in turn cause sleeping problems.
"One of the things you have to realize is that this is a difficult time of the year to begin with, we're just coming off the holidays. Many people are having these seasonal blues and they're having them because they've maybe over extended themselves during the holidays both physically and emotionally, they've also overextended their credit cards and the bills are coming due, they've dealt with all these things with families," Johnson said. "And for many of us, we don't take good care of ourselves during the holidays. We eat bad foods, we don't exercise, we isolate in the house. We do all the things we shouldn't do."
March should be the time period when SAD shouldn't be an issue any more, Johnson indicated. The weather is nicer, it's the verge of spring. But if the depression continues, he said you might want to consult medical advice. In the meantime, Johnson says don't over do things like goals and find time for yourself.
"Be reasonable with your expectations and goals during the holidays. A lot of us have these unrealistic goals of all the things that we're going to do. We have made these New Year's resolutions about losing 50 pounds — so be realistic. It's much better to start with short-term goals that you can accomplish and then add to those goals," Johnson said. "We all have to have some special, quiet times for ourselves. You need to have what I call hermit time. Time where it's just for you where everybody leaves you alone. Everybody needs some quiet time away from all the stimulation just to kind of gather themselves. For some people that might be listening to quiet music, or it might be reading, or it might be meditation or relaxation exercises, but people need to do something to kind of unwind, to kind of bring their stress level down."

The bus arrived in Columbus on a Monday morning, and among those getting off were two young girls from South America.
The bus arrived in Columbus on a Monday morning, and among those getting off were two young girls from South America.
They thought they were coming to this country with their boyfriends to start a better life, but before the plane even touched down, they were told it's not going to be like that. They were going to do exactly what they were told to do. If they contacted the authorities, they would just be deported, and the "boyfriends" know where their relatives are back in a Brazilian slum, a Chilean village, a Peruvian town.
After getting off the bus, the girls were taken to an apartment off East Dublin-Granville Road. Over the course of the next six days, upwards of 80 men would line up to pay for sex with them. On Sunday, the girls were put on a bus bound for Pittsburgh or Cleveland or Chicago.
The following morning, two more girls got off a bus that pulled into Columbus, and the whole ghastly scenario began all over again.
If Mark E. Lang had been asked 10 years ago what human trafficking was, he'd have guessed it was some thugs rounding up a group of Mexicans, forcing them into a van and driving them across the border to work in the fields.
Today, Lt. Lang, of the Columbus Division of Police vice section and head of the Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force, knows better.
"I realize that's completely not true," he said last week while addressing a group of Block Watch coordinators in the Northland area.
He knows human trafficking is much closer to the case of the girls on the bus, which actually was taking place prior to the creation of the task force in September 2011. "It's not true to say that we don't have that problem in Columbus," Lang told the Block Watch representatives. "We are definitely on the national circuit."
The existence of the task force, formed under the Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission, remained a secret until Aug. 2 when investigators from various agencies obtained their first indictments against four Chillicothe residents, three men and a woman. The victim, a 24-year-old woman, also from Chillicothe, thought she was coming to a party in Columbus, Lang said.
Instead, she found herself "subjected to horrible abuses," Lang said, forced into prostitution at hotels and motels on East Dublin-Granville Road, Zumstein Drive, Groves Road and International Gateway.
Last month, the task forced bagged its second alleged human trafficker when a 39-year-old Northland man was indicted on 17 counts by a Delaware County grand jury.
He is accused of coercing perhaps as many as a dozen women to become prostitutes, using their addictions to drugs as his leverage.
"The cases are hard," Lang said. "They are different from every other case I ever worked ... basically because the victims often say they aren't victims.
"There is someone behind the scenes compelling these girls to work," he said. "They control every aspect of their lives. When that happens, it becomes human trafficking."
The members of the Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force employ two laws to make cases, the lieutenant said. The first is compelling prostitution, which is a third-degree felony. The second, trafficking in persons, is a first-degree felony that carries a mandatory 10-year prison sentence.
The FBI reports the average age at which a girl is forced into sex trafficking is 12, Lang said. He said no one that young has come to the attention of local authorities -- so far.
"I have seen 15-year-olds, 16-year-olds, 17-year-olds," Lang said. "I have seen women in their 40s. It's that wide an age range. They do start young, much younger that I had imagined. It's unfortunately true."
The victims come from all backgrounds, he added, including from the best private schools and the poorest parts of the state.
"It knows no boundaries," Lang said.
Most of the sex-for-money arrangements are now made over the Internet. A single website featured ads for 30 different prostitutes one evening last week, and Lang said his "gut tells me" 90 percent of them are victims of human trafficking.
The average price charged for a girl or woman is $200 an hour, he said.
"And she doesn't see a dime of that," Lang said. "He takes every last dime. If you can imagine a life like that -- not only do you have to do these horrible things, but you get nothing for it."
The number to call if someone suspects they've observed human trafficking taking place is 285-HELP (4357).

I liked the book because it shows us to keep on looking when you can't find something. It also showed how the girl used her imagination.
I would want my grandma to read this book because she likes to sew quilts and they are beautiful.

I remember the day when I could write a blog about sexual harassment in the workplace and get a vitriolic discussion going among TR members who either wanted to back up what I said or wished I would fall off a building, hitting every window ledge on my way down.
Now, at least this week, it appears that Windows 8 is arousing the same kind of emotion from those in the TechRepublic community.
Patrick Gray wrote a piece called Should Windows 8 be in your future? Part 1, and the discussion following it really illustrates the angst people are feeling in regard to Microsoft's latest OS.TR member Palmetto_CharlieSpencer cites some of the prohibiting issues of upgrading to Windows 8, including the steep learning curve for end users, "the high cost of purchasing it. Of training people to use it. Of upgrading hardware to run it. (I had to upgrade the BIOS on both of my test systems before I could install it. That's free, but it takes time to find those upgrades and install them.)" Mikifinaz says he resents the price tag of yet another half-finished OS: "Yes, I said half finished. Downloading patches has become the excuse for not getting the OS even close to ship." Ramnet says he has not found W7/W8Beta to be better or faster than XP and "frankly doing old tasks new ways is not efficient nor does it lead to increased productivity."
All these statements are valid and are things to be considered by IT pros who are going to be expected to make the call on the upgrade as well as do the work to make it happen.
What I'd like to do with this poll is just to get a gut reaction to Windows 8.

Ascent of Mount Lyell on 2006-10-28
Dennis Poulin
Saturday, October 28, 2006
Ascent Type:
Successful Summit Attained
Mount Lyell
13114 ft / 3997 m
Ascent Trip Report
I'm working on the list of California County Highpoints and Mt. Lyell the highpoint of Tuolumne County and Yosemite National Park was my goal for this weekend. My list is pretty short at this time with only Mt. Lyell, Mt. Ritter, and North Palisade needed to complete the state.
On Friday October 27, 2006 I headed out from my home in Medford, Oregon and drove the 450+ miles to Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite. The easiest way to climb Mt. Lyell is from the Tuolumne Meadows Trailhead, elevation 8,700 ft. Tuolumne Meadows closes each year on October 15th. This means there is no Overnight Parking allowed at the trailhead. Depending on weather the parking lots are open for day use only.
I checked out the area to make sure I would be able to find it the next morning in the dark and then drove back out of the park over Tioga Pass and found a place to car camp along Hwy 120 outside the National Park. I knew I was in for a long hike the next day, so I made myself comfortable in the back of my Tacoma and went to sleep.
The next morning (is 3:00AM morning?) I woke up, got dressed, and ate a little breakfast. Who can eat this early in the day? My truck thermometer said it was 28 degrees outside and it felt a little cool. I drove down to Tuolumne Meadows and put my extra food into one of the bear boxes in the parking area. I didn't need Yogi Bear making a picnic in the back of my truck. My truck was the only vehicle in the parking lot. It didn't look like the trails were going to be busy this weekend.
It was cold. I put on my coat and gloves and put on my pack. I adjusted my headlamp and headed down John Muir Trail towards Donohue Pass. Donohue Pass is over 12 miles from the trailhead and I knew I had to leave the trail about 1.0 mile before the pass. I'm glad the John Muir Trail is so popular because it is relatively easy to follow in the dark.
I was making good time up the trail and after about 45 minutes I tried to get a drink of water from my camelback. The tube was frozen solid. Dang, it must be colder than I thought. I grabbed my Nalgene that was about half full and when I opened it there was a crust of ice over the mouth of the bottle. I broke the ice and had a drink. I also rerouted the tube from my camelback so that it was next to my neck and the end was down in my shirt. I figured it would thaw out in a little while. Sure enough, in just 3 hours I had the water flowing from the camelback. It must have been colder then 28 degrees to freeze things up like that, probably closer to 20 degrees.
The night was peaceful except for a couple of coyotes who howled at me as I passed by. In just under 2 hours I passed the turnoff that goes up to Ireland Lake and Parsons Peak the highpoint of Mariposa County. I felt good about my progress, my GPS said I was 5.8 miles from my truck at the trailhead. I forged ahead in the dark. Soon the first rays of light started to lighten the night sky and the stars started to fade. By the time I got to the head of the valley I could turn off my headlamp. I also got a glimpse of my objective Mt. Lyell.
The trail is relatively flat up to the head of the valley at about 9 miles from the trailhead and you are only at 9,000 ft in elevation and gained only 300 ft. This is a great trail. Lots of work has been done to prevent erosion on the trail as it climbs up to a small unnamed lake at mile 160 on the topo. Climbing up from the valley I saw my first person of the day. He was wearing a Forest Service hat and was camped off in the woods at the head of the valley. He guessed I was heading for the summit since I was carrying an ice axe. We visited for a few minutes and said he was helping a group that was camped ahead at the first lake. The group was from National Geographic. He said they are doing a feature on Yosemite, Mt. Lyell, and the Lyell Glacier. He was making good time and scampered off ahead of me. The trail gains about 1,200 ft to this small lake and then crosses its outlet and climbs another 350 ft out to a point. At this point Mt. Lyell is straight ahead, but the trail turns back around another small unnamed lake and then up to Donohue Pass. I made it this far in about 4.5 hours and I was about 11.4 miles from the trailhead.
This was a good spot to take a break, so I took off my coat and ate an apple. Mt. Lyell is impressive from this vantage point and the route is easy to see up the valley. From this point I dropped down about 30 feet before climbing back up following the valley. I just took the easiest route I could find. The granite slabs were easy to walk on so I sought them out when I could. There were patches of snow now that had not melted from a storm from a couple weeks earlier. The snow was easy to avoid and seemed to have accumulated in shady places or in holes. I could see up higher there was more, but there appeared to be routes through the snow patches, so I was not too concerned.
I followed the valley south and then westerly. I started climbing up to the west of the big rounded clever that splits the Lyell Glacier. I worked my way up more granite slabs, avoiding the snow patches because some of them appeared to have ice under them. I got up to about 11,800 ft just under the big clever and just a little to its west when I reached the toe of the Lyell Glacier. I was feeling kind of puny now, I think the altitude was beginning to get to me, so I sat down and sucked down a couple of Goo packets.
I brought along my crampons and ice axe just in case they were needed, so I took this opportunity to put them on. The granite slabs had given way to a big boulder field that continued around to the west of the glacier along the foot of Mt. Maclure. I could have stayed on the boulders and rock hopped around and up to the Lyell – Maclure saddle.
The glacier had developed sun cups during the summer about 18" deep and the recent snow had blown into all the little cups and only left a faint outline of the cups showing. The ice on the edge of the sun cups was very hard and the snow in the middle was very soft. They didn't make a good mix. It was difficult to gage what each step was going to bring. It was either hard ice or post hole up to your knee in spots. I had to cross about a half mile of the glacier and climb up about 600 ft to the Lyell – Maclure saddle. This was terribly slow going because of the footing. I tripped more than a few times on the edges of the sun cups. Eventually, I made my way all the way to the saddle. The summit was within reach.
I took out my Trip Reports and read again about how others had climbed the summit block, just to make sure I didn't do anything stupid. I could see a large obstacle a few hundred feet up the ridge. I climbed up to this summit block and then tried to stay low and to the left as I climbed, but there seemed to be too much snow packed into all the foot placements. I had to back off and try something else.
The only other option was to climb near the crest of the ridge staying on the north side. The south side is a sheer cliff. The bands of rocks here are like large steps about 6 ft apart. The steps themselves aren't very wide, so I had to be careful. I slowly made my way up this block that rises a couple hundred feet. I placed a few ducks along the way so I would take the same route going down. The hand holds here are very good and are described by some as bomber holds. I had death grips on these bomber holds. Eventually, I reached the small summit plateau area where a rock field leads to the actual summit. I looked back at the glacier and could see another climber about half way across heading my way.
I headed to the summit where I found the Sierra Club summit register box, but there was no register in the box. I took several pictures and ate some lunch. It was lunch time now more than 9 hours after I started. I knew I had a long trek back to my truck so I didn't stay on the summit long. Heading back off the summit block, I passed the other hiker who was from San Jose and had started over 3 hours after I did from the same trailhead. Youth, don't you hate it.
I took my time downclimbing back to the glacier, put on my crampons and headed across this miserable terrain. I took one fantastic tumble where I think I did a full forward summersault with a half twist. I could see the National Geographic crew below the toe of the glacier on the rocks. I hope they got a good picture of that one.
I was thankful to be off the glacier finally and getting back to the John Muir Trail at the bottom of the valley was easy. It had only taken me 3 hours to get back to the trail from the summit. Most of that time was on the glacier. The forest service guide for the National Geographic crew passed me on his way down and he was still moving too fast for me to keep pace. I started feeling better with the lower elevation, but I was certainly getting tired too. I still had 11 miles to go to get to my truck.
I didn't want to take another break until I needed my headlamp again so I kept plowing along. I made it to about 7 miles from the truck before I needed my headlamp, but I was done, dead tired. Every step was slower than the one before. I passed the turn off for Parsons Peak. The coyotes howled at me again. The dayhiker from San Jose passed me with about 4 miles to go. I stumbled along.
At about 9:30PM I reached my truck a full 17.5 hours after I started. I covered 28 miles with about 4,600 ft of elevation gain. Day hiking Mt. Lyell is not for the faint at heart. Everything hurts, but there is no blood and not even one blister. Next year I will climb Mt. Ritter and North Palisade. I wonder if you can dayhike North Pal…..

TV self-help guru Dr. Phil McGraw has deleted an ill-advised tweet in which he asked followers about their views on sex with drunk girls.
The TV personality came under fire for asking his fans "If a girl is drunk, is it OK to have sex with her? Reply yes or no to @drphil #teensaccused." He quickly removed the Twitter.com post, but not before media outlets had spotted it and the backlash.
A representative for McGraw tells USA Today, "It was intended to evoke discussion leading into a very serious show topic… It was a poll question, not a statement or a joke. It was not a personal post, and Dr. Phil deleted it the second he saw it.
"It was clearly ill-advised. We sincerely apologize that it suggested anything other than what was intended, data gathering. As you can imagine, Dr. Phil is very upset that this happened."

Greetings dearest friends, it is I, The Duke, having returned from a long trip abroad to bring to you once again the cinematic brilliance found in the nether regions of the world (specifically, the anus, or as some like to call it, Germany). It was bitterly cold as I stepped out of my rented calash, the snow crunching under my leather boots. My first steps into the lower Alemannia region were met with some resistance, as if the snow drifts themselves wished to stop my journey.
I had come at the behest of a descendent of the great Bavaria duke Garibald II, a tyrant whose foul deeds were still spoken about in hushed tones before roaring fires in the dead nights of the Bavarian winter. The missive revealed little, only that I should make all haste and tell no one, save my normal cortege of servants, luggage bearers, and Roman bodyguards, their rippling muscles and mute stares more than enough to keep safe my personage.
I was met in short order by a hunched man who refused any questions, simply beckoning for me to follow. The town we were in, if it could be termed that, consisted of a few earthen hovels and one towering keep, its portcullis raised. We walked across the drawbridge, pikes adorned with heads running the length of the approach, their faces obscured by tar, the eyes long since plucked out by the Great Ravens circling overhead.
Once inside, the master of the keep, and sender of the letter, entered the courtyard via a small side door. He was dressed handsomely: a crimson scale tunic, oiled bearskin cloak, and ermine breeches. A helmet constructed of wyvern skull and elk antler adorned his head. A giant of a man, he approached and bent knee, as was my due. I raised an eyebrow at the giant claymore scabbarded on his back, but said nothing. Most don't enter my presence armed and continue to live, but I chose to ignore the slight. This was his keep, after all.
He began rambling in High Chant, a forgotten language employed by scholars, and one that I was fluent in. I learned that he had commissioned a dig some ways to the south, near the Swiss border. Digging deeper than was advisable given this region's history, he stumbled upon a cavern containing the corpse of a Deepwurm. The skeleton, long since fossilized, reeked of ancient magic. Where the stomach once was sat a treasure long since thought lost in antiquity.
He continued to babble in his excitement, so I raised a finger, bringing him to instant silence. I motioned for him to bring the treasure forth. He barked a command, which brought a servant forward. He was carrying a blackened ossuary, its sides covered in harshly carved glyphs not wrought by human hands. Trying to hide my excitement, I now realized why I had been asked to come here. This man didn't know how to open the container and wished to gain favor in my eyes by presenting me with it as a gift, even though he didn't know what it held.
I knew, however. I also knew how to open it. Spreading my hands over the lid, careful not to touch it, I began reciting an ancient cantrip not uttered by human tongue for over 3 millennia. There issued forth a loud hissing, and the lid popped open with such force that it cleanly severed the head of the servant. I deftly scooped up the contents of the chest before he went crashing to the ground. In my hands I beheld a prize thought lost…
Teenage Catgirls in Heat is one of those movies that you either love or hate, much like every single film ever released by Troma. It is silly, poorly acted, poorly shot, and terribly directed while at the same time utterly hilarious, off-the-charts crazy, and insane. The movie fits perfectly inside our Doctrine, for it is a glorious failure indeed. We have to look no further than the movie's intro to see this, which features Lloyd Kaufman, Troma's intrepid president, sharing his thoughts on the movie. Using a ton of cat-related puns, he gets us in the mood, and after he dropped this bombshell, I knew I was in for a treat:
Kaufman: "Notice I've made no 'pussy' jokes. That's because, here at Troma, we say 'cunt'".
This man is a visionary and a genius. Kaufman for President, 2016.
Our movie opens with a cat, shockingly enough. I'd be remiss if I didn't discuss the only awesome camera shot in the film, and it just so happens to be the first one. The sun glares down on what appears to be the Great Pyramids in Egypt, but then the camera pans down, it is revealed we are looking at the trunk of a rusted out car in a junkyard. Very clever, and it got my hopes up, but alas this is the only clever camera use in the whole movie.
Anyhoo, the aforementioned cat takes off through the countryside before finally arriving home, climbing up on the roof. Meanwhile, an old grandmother type heads outside to feed it, eating some of the food herself at the same time. Realizing the cat is on the roof, she heads back in and goes upstairs to the attic. A dusty trunk she has stored up there begins to rattle and, um, purr, which causes her to investigate. Inside the trunk she finds a statue of a cat, which she begins praying to. Further searching the trunk, she finds a dagger, which she uses to off herself by breast stabbing!
Ok, at this point, I'm wondering WTF is going on, but the movie isn't done yet, no! Apparently the statue (or icon, as it is referred to) is possessed by some Egyptian cat goddess. We aren't too sure what her goal is, but her first deed upon being freed from the old lady's trunk is to set off a wave of cat suicide! To say I had tears of laughter streaming down my face at the next few scenes is a gross understatement. We are treated to several scenes of fake cats being tossed off roofs and bridges and being run over by cars. Friends, if I were to ever make a movie, I am going to totally rip this scene off, it was beyond awesome.
Apparently the suicidal cats aren't totally crazy after all, because once they shed their mortal coil they are reborn, as Teenage Catgirls, IN HEAT! Soon we have 5 or 6 naked catgirls running around, who immediately head for the old lady's house. Here we are treated to a few nude scenes that were obviously shot to provide nudity to the film, a decision I totally respect.
While nekkid catgirls are running amok through the countryside, we are introduced to our two heroes of the film. One is a hapless backpacker, a hitchhiker who is getting a ride in the back of a pickup from an old couple. After running over a cat, the hitchhiker is thrown from the truck into a ditch while the old folks speed off (note to self: avoid hitchhiking). Our young hero, who looks like a member of Haircut 100, ends up running into our other protagonist, The Cat Catcher.
Apparently this guy is employed to find lost kitties, through the use of high tech equipment resembling something The Ghostbusters would use. This lead me to refer to him as The Cat Buster in my notes, and now in this review. The Cat Buster knows something is up, something cat-related is in the offing and he's going to get to the bottom of it. Through a series of expository scenes, we learn about Egyptian cat worship and various other plot devices, but the important thing is that he hooks up with the hitchhiker and both of them begin trying to get to the bottom of the new catgirl menace.
Meanwhile, back at catgirl central, all of the felines are dressing up using the old lady's clothes, which results in them resembling Cyndi Lauper on crank, and watching daytime television, through which they learn rudimentary English in short order. One of the catgirls stands out from the rest in that she doesn't randomly murder dudes for sex. More on her later. In the meantime, we are treated to a scene of a catgirl running off into the woods, stumbling upon a man sleeping alone in a tent, and then sexing him up before clawing him to death.
The Cat Buster and the hitchhiker find his body, which hilariously has a face frozen in ecstasy. Realizing they are close, they renew their hunt. Eventually the hitchhiker runs into the non-murderous catgirl and of course falls in love. This leads to them making date plans, which leads to a hilarious scene in which the Cat Buster helps the hitchhiker dress for success, which results in him wearing clothes that Carlton from Fresh Prince would be embarrassed to be caught out in.
The day of the date comes, and off they go to have a picnic by a stream. Meanwhile, the Cat Buster breaks into the old lady's house, suspecting the source of Egyptian cat terror can be found within. Meanwhile, our couple in love come back and begin sexing each other up, which works fine, until the catgirl looses control of herself and starts clawing up the hitchhiker, who panics and runs… straight into the Cat Buster, who has grabbed the cat icon and is trying to escape the wrath of the other catgirls.
What happens next will go down in MMMMovie history as one of the most cringe-worthy and simultaneously awesome scenes ever. The Cat Buster pulls out a banana peel, drops it on the floor, and we watch as the catgirls come running, one by one, through the door only to slip and fall into a heap! At this point, I thought it couldn't get any better. Oh boy was I wrong! Very quickly, the hitchhiker and the rest of the catgirls are out in the yard, while the Cat Buster is caught up in the mystical Egyptian magic of the cat icon inside the house.
The door opens, and out walks the Cat Buster, who is now apparently the avatar of the cat goddess. Words fail me, so just look at the following screenshot instead:
See! See the awesome! He then goes into explaining that the goddess never meant any harm or some such. At this point I was quite drunk, but basically he does some magic and resurrects every one of the clawed-to-death guys that we've seen throughout the movie. Crazy, crazy stuff. He then goes on to say that all the catgirls must return to their previous cat form. This upsets the hitchhiker, who wants to continue to bone his cat girlfriend. The cat goddess solves this problem by giving him the ability to transform into a cat during the nighttime, thus allowing him to continue his cat-fucking fetish.
So, basically, this movie is awful and awesome. I'd give it .5 thumbs up for people who don't like Troma movies, and 2 solid thumbs up for people who do. It isn't the best Troma offering, but it is hilarious and entertaining. I was sad to find that the nudity in the film is less than it should be for a film called Teenage Catgirls in Heat, but what's there is nice I suppose. Glorious failure it is, and I must recommend it to all of my more discriminating readers.
In honor of The Cat Buster and his awesome equipment, I'm awarding Teenage Catgirls in Heat the prestigious (and just now invented) Duke of DVD Award for Busting Excellence:

Duke, you've done the UNPOSSIBLE--you've managed to make me laugh at a Troma film. You should be getting kickbacks from the House That Toxie Built, because you're actually making me want to see these movies. Amazing!
Now, I see plenty of death *of* cats, and some death by *catgirls*, but was there any of that precious cinematic nectar known as DEATH BY CATS? Cos... you know... that's an Empire Fave right there.

Thanks for the kind words, Frau Tenebrous! There's just something so awfully awesome about Troma films... much like videos of nuns being violated by soldiers and/or lumberjacks, Troma movies speak to me.
You know, I didn't notice at the time, but there isn't any death by cat in this movie. Anthropomorphic cat killing, yes, but no actual cats were shown killing horny dudes. A gross oversight by the films' creators, indeed.

Kitchen Spotlight: Megan and Sarah's Orange Nook
Friends Megan and Sarah have found a cozy style together — a rare achievement in the world of roommates! Their friendly, colorful home is perhaps showcased best in their kitchen: a bright orange kitchen full of books, jars, vintage dishes, and interesting pictures at every turn. Their kitchen is the heart of the home: so much so, in fact, they put a reading nook right in the corner! Read on to see more of their nook and kitchen.
Megan and Sarah rent their Boston apartment, but that hasn't stopped them from making this bright kitchen their own unique space. The size and natural light (and those gorgeous floors!) help of course, but they've also worked hard to make it lovely.
• 1 That yellow cupboard is so bright, and it really stands out in this sunny space.
• 2 The reading nook, where one friend can prop her feet up and chat while another friend cooks. Also, we like how the pans over the stove are a decorative as well practical element.
• 3 More sunlight, and a small desk.
• 4 An island unit they brought in.
• 5 The fridge is set back into a shallow closet.
• 6 The photo above the reading nook. Sarah says that the reading area is her favorite spot in the house.
• 7 Shelves, books, and a clip-on light to give the stove a little more direct light.
• 8 The pantry.

I'm pretty much mixed about this. On the one hand, after reading the first two chapters, it looks to be incredibly generic nonsense, but on the other hand I actually liked that trailer. it's interesting to note that Atsuko Ishizuka came into the anime industry through pure graphic arts, and i think her talents were on display in that trailer as the visuals did look impressive.
As for Okada, this seems to be a straight up adaptation so it's likely the only thing she's going to do is exactly what I initially expected of Zetsuen no Tempest and what I think happened with Aquarion Evol and Gosick: She gives a mediocre story better characterization.

But yeh, as mentioned in my previous post, it's an adaptation so it isn't the end of the world . The visuals are pretty good as both you said and I in my previous post.

The PV was a sort of first test and I liked what I saw so I'm still looking forward to it.
Not sure if the character intros are a PV thing only or if they'll be used in the show but either way they remind me of her work on the P4 golden game OP character intros.

The latest one just came out this month, Vol 7.5
I haven't read the LN so I don't know how they're going to play it, but thinking about it this could be where Mari Okada comes in
But in any case, I would love to see the source of this information just to be sure.

So the source would be the channel it's airing on

My anticipation for this show went up when I heard that it was slated for 24 episodes the other day, along with the suggestion that the source material may be headed towards a conclusion soon. This could mean that the anime is being timed to coincide with the conclusion of the source material, and that the anime will cover the entire story (up to the ending). I think this sort of story would work well with a defined conclusion, and doing it in a 24-episode block is a good length of time for it.
Although it's quite different, this show's premise and setup reminds me a bit of anime romantic comedy/dramas from 5-10 years ago, like say Mahoraba for example. The episode count also reminds me of shows from that era. So I am looking forward to this.

So... They're going to "Toradora" this thing ?

JC Staff LN adaptations have a pretty notorious reputation so I'm not gonna have high expectations, but I do admit that occasionally JC Staff produces some solid LN adaptation hits. Toradora and Shana S1 being two examples.
As long as Mari Okada isn't given free reign to deviate from the source and spaz her gimmicks onto the series (namely bizzarre fanservice, extreme emasculation and/or overwrought melodrama), it should be pretty fine. I've never had big problems with Okada on slice of life/drama/romance adaptations if she keeps to the source, it's just when she writes anime original material be it the whole anime or she deviates (e.g. Black Butler S2 and the latter half of Fate Stay Night) then I start to pull out hairs. Hence, I'm not even gonna touch that PA Works one that was announced yesterday.
Back to Sakurasou, as mentioned before the PV was actually pretty nice, but I'll give it the usual "3 episode" treatment before making solid confirmations. I think it's got to do with music and the atmosphere it portrayed. It didn't scream slapstick/fanservice romcom which was nice.

The first seasons of most J.C Staff animes are generally great imo, so if this is indeed confirmed for 2-cour, I have high expectations. And I never read the LN, so if they change it, I won't mind(if they make bad decisions though, I will).

Fall is usually the time where they put their best foot forward... Heh, I wouldn't be surprised if this would become better received than Little Buster, if only because nobody is expecting anything from it

Rather than writing down your symptoms, doctors are now recording them electronically.
With electronic medical records, doctors go down a list of bullets and check off the correct symptoms.
As health care systems are changing, some doctors are wary of the future.
�People do not like the loss of personal time with the doctor in exchange for regurgitating data for computer systems,� said Dr. Rebecca Love, who practiced at Jones Family Practice in Shelby. �The doctor-patient interview process is a skill. It�s like telling a carpenter to not use his chisel and to use a chainsaw.�
Love is leaving her private practice after 13 years due to these changes with electronic medical records.
Electronic medical records are replacing paper documents. Vital signs, symptoms and diagnoses are now being recorded via iPads.
�My concern now is that it affects the doctor-patient process. You have to listen, not concentrate on putting information into a computer,� she said. �Diagnosis is a human talking to you, but you have to watch them and their body language to understand what�s wrong. It�s not a recipe or an algorithm.�
Practices purchase the hardware and have a monthly fee for the software used in the electronic record program. An incentive of $44,000 over three years is paid to doctors who prove they were using it in a meaningful way for at least three months by the end of 2012, Love said.
�If a doctor chose not to go to the expense and convert to electronic health records by 2014, they will be penalized with reduced reimbursements from Medicare,� she said.
A medical journal study earlier this year found that computerized patient records encourage doctors to order expensive tests more often -- and that electronic records may not cut health care costs as advertised.
The US government has spent more than $30 billion to encourage a shift to digital records, mostly through incentive payments to hospitals and doctors that were authorized in 2009 as a part of President Obama's economic stimulus law.
But according to the report from the US Inspector General's Office and US Department of Health and Human Services, not all doctors are qualifying for the incentive payments.
'It cost our practice quite a bit of money'
Love isn�t the only doctor turned off by the electronic shift. Bryan Young entered early retirement, leaving his position at Shelby Surgical Associates.
�I was going to retire this upcoming spring but bumped it up after our office converted to electronic records,� Young said. �It�s tedious and burdensome. It cost our practice quite a bit of money to get the new computer system, and we had to hire more personnel to enter data so we could get patients into the doctors. It really slowed the flow of patients.�
Young is now the medical director for the physician's assistant studies program at Gardner-Webb University.
�Most of our patients didn�t like the records,� he said. �Most of the complaints were that the doctor looks at his computer and not me.�
And electronic records aren't the only change bothering doctors.
Along with the electronic records, hospitalist programs were developed. Hospitalists care for patients while they are in the hospital, rather than their primary doctor.
�Patients don�t like that their family doctor isn�t there to see them in the hospital,� Love said. �Our schedule is easier because of it, but doctors didn�t choose that. We are accustomed to being on call and going to the hospital.�
The changes date back to the late 1990s -- far before Obamacare.
�It�s political and about money,� Love said. �The government is trying to control Medicare as more and more people are getting to the Medicare age. For example, it doesn�t matter if you stay in the hospital for two days or two weeks, the hospital gets paid the same amount for your stay.�
Doctors also now have to answer for why they are giving prescriptions.
�I have to let insurance companies know why I�m giving prescriptions; our word no longer matters,� Love said. �I even have to explain why I�m prescribing diabetic strips.�
'Patients can't come in as quickly'
Electronic records have been used by the military for several years, but now doctors are required to make the switch by 2014 or face penalization.
Jones Family Practice started using digital equipment in August. The office was closed on Fridays while they were training. But being closed during those hours isn�t the only expense for the offices.
While electronic medical records should be more efficient, it takes doctors longer, Love said.
�Patients can�t come in as quickly, because it takes longer to record with the records,� she said. �People think it�s neat because it�s high-tech, but it�s personally starting to make me get behind. There is a lot of room for error, too, because you can�t change other doctors' mistakes.�
Love will leave the private practice at the end of the month and will work at Hospice Cleveland County as leader of Palliative Care.
�Private practices are getting purchased by hospitals because it�s too expensive for them to continue privately,� Love said. �It�s a dire situation if we go blindly forward.�

Did you know that the largest garbage dump in the world is almost twice the size of the continental United States and is actually located in the Pacific Ocean? That there is a 7,000 square mile patch of algae bloom called the "Dead Zone" in the Gulf of Mexico, where no fish or marine animals can live? These are both the results of too much garbage and waste that makes its way to our oceans, by way of rivers and streams.
Last summer, 4-H members and volunteers picked up more than 600 pounds of garbage from the roadsides in Covington County! It takes 34 empty coke cans, and between 15-40 empty water/soda bottles to make up one pound. That equals roughly 21,000 empty soda/water bottles and cans to make 600 pounds.
In the Coastal Plains River Basin, residents have a unique opportunity to help prevent this trash from getting to the waterways. Covington County 4-H is recruiting volunteers to help us clean up alongside the roads that are close to streams.
Join us on Saturday, Sept. 17 for COASTAL CLEAN UP. We will meet at the recreation area at Open Pond, and clean up the roadsides. We are working with the National Forest Service to pick up trash in the areas that need it most.
For more information, and to sign up, call 222-1125 or email Mrs. Cat at email@example.com
This trash has made its way from the roadside into the pond by our office. Bottles, plastic bags, and other waste can cause severe problems for the ducks, fish, bugs, turtles, and amphibians that inhabit our ponds. When the trash gets into rivers and streams, it floats into the Gulf of Mexico. Much of the trash is plastic, which many creatures mistake as a food source. More than one million seabirds, 300,000 dolphins and porpoises, and 100,000 marine mammals die from pollution each year.

Lazarus the Wonderworker
November 7
Our righteous Father Lazarus was born in 967 in Magnesia of Asia Minor, and passed through various regions of the East, visiting monasteries. He was tonsured a monk, and then ordained priest, at the Monastery of Mar Sabbas in Palestine. In 1005 he returned to his homeland, and beginning in the year 1012, he built the monasteries that are on Mount Galesion. He raised up a pillar, on which he lived as a stylite for many years, enduring unspeakable hardships for the love of Christ, and reposed in the Lord in deep old age in the year 1053, during the reign of Constantine Monomachus (1042-1055).
Apolytikion of Lazarus the Wonderworker
Plagal of the Fourth Tone
In thy vigilant prayers, thou didst drench thy pillar with streams of tears; by thy sighings from the depths, thou didst bear fruit a hundredfold in labours; and thou becamest a shepherd, granting forgiveness to them that came to thee, O our righteous Father Lazarus. Intercede with Christ God that our souls be saved.
Kontakion of Lazarus the Wonderworker
Fourth Tone
With great joy, the Church of Christ doth glorify thee on this day with psalmic hymns as a great light unto us all; hence never cease thou to intercede with Christ to grant the forgiveness of sins to all.
