Interdisciplinary collaborations among the science departments has produced a set of outstanding and modern core research facilities available to faculty and students on the Kent Campus. Departmental facilities provide additional resources and instrumentation for both research and graduate education.These independent facilities can be found at the following Kent State websites: Department of Anthropology, Department of Chemistry, Department of Biological Sciences, Department of Computer Science and Department of Physics.
Below is a summary of instrumentation contained within core facilities collaboratively maintained by the School of Biomedical Sciences, the Department of Biological Sciences, the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Computer Science.
Imaging Core Facility
This core facility contains equipment and instrumentation for fluorescence and confocal microscopy. The laboratory is outfitted for working with cell and tissue cultures and contains requisite equipment including incubators, -70 freezer, BioRad electrophoresis unit, Olympus FV300 confocal microscope, Olympus FV500 confocal microscope and Olympus IX70 fluorescence microscope. A second companion laboratory contains a Bruker IFS 66 FTIR with Hyperion Focal Plane Array Microscope for acquisition of infrared images with 5 micrometer resolution, a Bruker Tensor spectrometer with Confocheck ATR unit for protein structure determination, and a Bruker Equinox spectrometer with XA511 external reflection unit for the in situ characterization of monolayers at the air/water interface.
- A third companion laboratory contains a Varian Unity/Inova 500 MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with a microimaging kit, which includes the Varian 5mm XYZ triple resonance probe and Performa XYZ PFG module. The equipment allows users to acquire 3D images of small objects (about 10 mm long and 4mm diameter) with up to 20 micron resolution using NMR technology.
- Genomics Core Facility
Our genomics core is partially complete and currently contains an Applied Biosystems 7000 real-time PCR, Arcturus Autopix Laser capture system and a Affymetrix microarray station. The Department of Chemistry maintains the Advanced Recombinant DNA Laboratory and the Protein/Enzyme Laboratory, each with equipment applicable to genomic investigations. We are in the process of purchasing a Typhoon variable mode imager for fluorescent microarray imaging and analysis.
- Proteomic Core Facility
We are in the process of substantially upgrading instrumentation necessary for assessment of the proteome. In addition to equipment included in the core facilities detailed at the above websites, our Proteomic Core Facility will substantially improve with the impending purchase of a new MALDI/TOF and/or SELDI instrument(s) and additional instrumentation for protein separations. Furthermore, the Department of Chemistry maintains outstanding facilities for protein separation and chemistry, which can be found at the website noted above.
- Computational Core Facility
The science units at Kent State have secured resources for a dedicated Gbit+ science network. This network is designed for the movement of large data sets, including those derived from biomedical investigations, especially those involving data from imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy and MRI. Kent State has nationally recognized expertise in the use of cluster computing for analysis of large data sets and several computer clusters dedicated to interdisciplinary efforts in the biomedical sciences are available for data visualization and analysis. These and related resources including a wide variety of software offer biomedical researchers a modern high-performance computational environment for a variety of types of analyses. The network, to be lit in April 2004, will shortly thereafter be connected to access to the Ohio's Bit+ Third Frontier Network and Internet 2.
- 3D Immersive Development Facility and Classroom
The School and science departments have developed a strong initiative in 3D visualization, especially of biological materials but also of lyotropic liquid crystals. We currently have several immersive systems (Fakespace ImmersaDesk, Vrex display) for 3D display of large data sets. This spring, we will have completed a 3D immersive classroom consisting of a 7x8 Fakespace Powerwall. These systems are in increasing use as tools for visualization of multidimensional structures, such as cells, proteins, membranes, etc., and provide valuable means for evaluating the importance of spatial properties in determining function. In conjunction with the computational resources available at Kent, this facility is unique in the State of Ohio and forms both a research and educational tool for the multiple scientific disciplines.

I'm always surprised by the people that fail to work with a business or marketing plan. The idea seems to be intimidating to many otherwise fearless entrepreneurs. The plan doesn't have to be a long drawn-out process to be effective. You can take a few minutes and sketch out something quickly that helps you to formalize your goals, establish a budget and evaluate your expected returns on investment.
It will also serve as a roadmap to help you maintain consistent sales throughout the year. Savvy marketers often develop the entire project around a sales and marketing proposal in order to bring in joint venture partners.
There are many ways to develop a marketing plan. The approach taken here is a simple six step process. If you are really creative you can accomplish all six steps on the back of a napkin.
- State your purpose – Dr. Stephen R. Covey is famous for coining the phrase; "Begin with the and in mind." This simply means to have an idea of what your results should look like before you begin your journey.
- Quantify the result – if you are selling glass figurines online, you should know how many units you'll need to sell in order to make the kind of income that will make the project worthwhile. You must identify what success looks like even before you begin.
- Situational Analysis – this simply means you are acknowledging where you are in the process at the moment. You will also want to look back in the past to evaluate the decisions and actions that lead you to the present situation.
- Marketing Focus – take a close look at consumers to whom you wish to sell your services or products. Get a clear understanding of your ideal prospect; get to know and relate to the problems they face and recognize how your solutions can benefit them.
- Tactical – now we brainstorm to find the various methods to get our message to its intended target. Don't be afraid to get wild, crazy and creative during brainstorming. There are often a few really good ideas hidden among the off-the-wall stuff. Write them all down and review them later.
- Budgets Analysis and Performance Milestones – I saved the bean counting for last because it is usually the part that entrepreneurs don't like to do. Once you have roughed out your marketing plan of attack, you will want to create a budget for which to work your plan. You will also need to set realistic milestones to monitor your progress along the way.
In the end, a marketing plan is just a road map for your objectives. You can create a formal marketing plan with spreadsheets, graphs and even PowerPoint presentations. You might simply look at your worn out napkin one or twice a year. Whichever technique you choose will be perfect as long as you get it done. When it comes to marketing your business, you need to know where you're going so that you know when you've arrived.

Our faithful Research Robot Monkeys are ever scouring the world in our quest of rooting out the True Christians from the fakers and pretenders; the True Converts from the False Converts. This was why we were so shocked when thanks to our Research Robot Monkey Infiltrators we discovered that Fox News are so ungodly. Not only is Fox News ungodly, they are also full of fake and pretend Christians aka False Converts because they pretend to be bible-believing Conservatives while all the while secretly supporting the ungodly liberal agenda. Here for all the world our Research Robot Monkeys expose Fox News' Hidden Liberal Agenda:
- they are way too ecumenical
- ecumenism = liberalism
- ecumenism = one world religion/one world government/new world order
- they mix True Bible-Believing Conservative Christian Believers with False Converts such as Mary and Pope-worshipping Romanists and non-Christians (Mormons) against the clear Bible teaching of the Doctrine of Separatism in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
- by being ecumenical they plan to unleash an unholy hybrid of Calvinism (Absolute Biblical Truth) with Papism and Mormonism upon the world
- they are crybabies
- crying = effeminate
- effeminate = queerosexual
- queerosexual = liberal
- liberal = terrorist
But most importantly they broke the 11th Commandment—one of the holiest of all commandments which is: "Thou shall not cry with an unbeliever; it is an abomination."
(Holy Ways Of The Master King James John MacArthur Bible: Wretched Edition).

What Does Barack Obama's First 100 Days Mean for Serious Eaters?
But, hey, we're Serious Eats, so I thought it would be useful to look at both the accomplishments of the Obama administration in terms of food-related issues and the signals they have sent concerning future food policy.
I asked Marion Nestle, one of the nation's leading authorities on food politics and a newly minted first-rate food-politics blogger, to assess the president's first 100 days from a food-policy perspective. Nestle is hopeful but anxious:
I wish I had a clear view of what the first 100 days mean for agriculture, food, nutrition, and health, but I think it's way too early to tell. The most hopeful signs are strictly symbolic: the organic gardens at the White House and USDA. Obama has appointed some people interested in sustainable agriculture and in nutrition for the poor to high positions at USDA, and the nomination of Margaret Hamburg to be FDA commissioner is an excellent choice. I'm hoping she gets confirmed soon. What totally remains to be seen is what these people can actually do. I'm reserving judgment but keeping fingers crossed.
Nestle's anxiety is probably well-founded. We can't really grade the Obama administration for its food policy until we see what it can actually accomplish in the area of food policy. Nonetheless, there are encouraging signs.
- First lady Michelle Obama has adopted healthy and local food for children as one of her signature issues. She planted an organic vegetable garden on the White House lawn, inviting neighborhood kids to help. This is one not-so-small step for foodkind
- Michelle Obama also proved her food soul cred by sneaking out with her staff to Five Guys, which is in fact locally based in D.C.
- I was also impressed that the Obamas' go-to restaurant in Chicago for special occasions is Spiaggia. I would like to encourage them to try Blackbird and Hot Doug's. Maybe they already have
- The Obamas showed they are nobody's pawns when they decided to retain Cristeta Comerford as White House executive chef and Bill Yosses as White House pastry chef. By doing so they resisted the well-intentioned efforts of Ruth Reichl and Danny Meyer to affect their choice
- Bringing hunky, food activist chef Sam Kass into the White House food mix, was a deft political move, signaling that the Obama administration will be active in food-policy debates
- The administration nominated (and the U.S. Senate confirmed) former Iowa governor Tom Vilsack as Secretary of Agriculture, disappointing the food activists who put forward Michael Pollan's name as a possible contender. These days Vilsack champions family farms and local and sustainable agriculture—obviously a good thing, but as a former Iowa governor he is every mindful of agribusiness interests. How he will juggle those two seemingly contradictory notions in terms of policy-making and advocacy remains to be seen
- The Obama administration clearly wants to address the obvious holes in our food safety net (more funding and more inspectors are desperately needed, as is a structural overhaul), but how quickly it moves will probably depend on the timing of food-safety crises
- Obama has signaled that he is going to stand firm in his refusal to negotiate with beet-loving food activists. And here at Serious Eats we're down with that
I think serious eaters can feel good knowing that the Obamas care about good food eaten for pleasure and for our health. So let's raise a glass to his first 100 days. May his administration continue to fight the good fight for serious eaters everywhere.

Signing of the season
Remember, not so long ago, when Hannover 96 found they had been quite literally short-changed over their new €1.3 million January signing, midfielder Franca, when the Brazilian was found to be a full 9cm shorter than he was being billed by his former club Criciuma?
It all came to light when Hannover coach Coach Mirko Slomka, 1.87m tall, found he was towering over a player who was supposedly 3cm taller than him.
Well, now Hannover have announced that their blockbuster signing is not only a midget, he's also suffering from tuberculosis – which we thought only affected Victorian strumpets and badgers – and is likely to miss the last few months of the Bundesliga season.
Hannover sporting director Jorg Schmadtke released the following statement:
"We are very sorry for Franca but the most important thing is that he recovers and returns healthy.
"After treatment he will continue his career as a footballer according to the doctors. That is important and good news for him and us."
It's thought that Franca contracted the virus while traveling from Germany back to his homeland. The club are fairly sure that none of their other players have caught the disease from him, but they're planning on conducting a raft of blood tests on their squad over the coming weeks.
Like we said the first time, we really hope Hannover kept the receipt for this one.

President Obama's campaign is featuring the beloved "Sesame Street" character in a new TV ad, which Gov. Mitt Romney quickly condemned as proof Obama was focused on trivial matters.
Big Bird is flying high in the 2012 presidential campaign.
President Barack Obama's campaign deployed the beloved "Sesame Street" icon in a new TV ad Tuesday mocking Mitt Romney for saying he would defund public broadcasting if elected.
The foundation backing "Sesame Street" quickly disavowed the spot, and Romney dismissed it as un-serious even though the Republican hopeful brought Big Bird into the national political conversation at last week's presidential debate.
Big Bird has been a big deal since Romney, in outlining ways he would cut federal spending, said, "I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS," adding, "I like PBS, I love Big Bird."

Romney's vow to de-fund public broadcasting has been a staple of his campaign appearances for months, but the nationally televised declaration last week in Denver – more than 67 million were watching – gave it a much broader audience than ever before.
Romney's comment drew immediate reaction on social media, with users posting online photos of Big Bird appearing down on his luck or searching for work. Mock Big Birds have followed Romney to campaign events, and the real Big Bird even made an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" last weekend.
"I feel like I'm famous now. I was walking down the street the other day and felt like everyone recognized me," Big Bird said.
The "Sesame Street" dis offered an opening to Obama, who has faced strong backlash for his widely panned debate performance. At rallies and campaign appearances every day since the debate, he has used Romney's remark and referenced other "Sesame Street" characters to mock his opponent in a way audiences find funny and relatable.
"He said he'd bring down our deficit by going after what has been the biggest driver of our debt and deficits over the last decade – public television, PBS," Obama told people at a fundraiser Monday in San Francisco. "Elmo has been seen in a white Suburban. He's driving for the border. Oscar is hiding out in his trashcan. We're cracking down on them."
The satiric Obama campaign ad, set to air on national broadcast and cable stations, echoes that theme. The ad shows images of convicted financiers including Bernie Madoff and Enron's Ken Lay, and suggests Romney believes Big Bird is responsible for their crimes.
"Big, yellow, a menace to our economy," the ad says. "Mitt Romney knows it's not Wall Street you have to worry about, it's Sesame Street."
While Romney's comment drew criticism from PBS the day after the debate, the Sesame Workshop, which supports "Sesame Street" and other public broadcasting shows, demanded that Obama's campaign remove the ad.
"Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns," the organization said in a terse, two-sentence statement. "We have approved no campaign ads and, as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down."
Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said the campaign was reviewing the organization's concerns.
Romney, campaigning in Iowa, dismissed the Big Bird ad as inconsequential and suggested Obama was focusing on trivial matters rather than the economy and high unemployment.
"These are tough times with real serious issues, so you have to scratch your head when the president spends the last week talking about saving Big Bird." Romney told a cheering crowd. "I actually think we need to have a president who talks about saving the American people and saving good jobs and saving our future."
With his newfound political celebrity, Big Bird has emerged as the latest star in a campaign proxy war over a larger policy issue.
In 2008, Joe Wurzelbacher, or "Joe the Plumber," set off a proxy battle over tax policy when he asked Obama about his tax plan for small business. Obama's videotaped reply, in which he told Wurzelbacher that "when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody," prompted Republican John McCain to seize the statement as evidence that Obama supported socialist tax policies. Obama doubled down on his argument that higher income earners should be taxed more than the middle class.
This year, Big Bird is serving as a central actor in the debate over federal spending in tough economic times.
Public broadcasting has long drawn the scorn of many conservatives who see it as wasteful and having a liberal bias. Romney has framed it as a fiscal issue, suggesting shows like "Sesame Street" should charge for advertising like other television stations and shouldn't depend on the federal government for support.
Obama, for his part, has tried to frame the controversy as a matter of conservative overreach, suggesting that Romney and others would cut funding for much-beloved children's programming while giving tax breaks to the wealthy.
PBS receives a portion of its funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which receives an annual appropriation from Congress. In 2012, CPB received $445 million in federal funding. PBS said in a news release after last week's presidential debate that public broadcasting receives about one-100th of 1 percent of the federal budget.
Associated Press writers Jim Kuhnhenn, Kasie Hunt, Philip Elliott and Josh Lederman in Washington, Steve Peoples in Iowa and Ben Feller in California contributed to this report.

Rich, Creamy Goat Cheese Recipes
The lure of goat cheese
Some of the nation's finest goat cheese is produced on an 80-acre farm in Greenville, Indiana. From the rich goat milk of a 500-strong herd comes Capriole cheeses, which have grabbed honors at national competitions and impressed maitre fromagers for their texture and distinctive, rich taste.For the past 20 years, Capriole has been the all-consuming work and love of Judy Schad, milkmaid and cheese mogul. "What limestone does for Kentucky bourbon, it also does for my goat milk," Judy says. "The limestone base makes for sweet grasses, alfalfa and clover -- and more flavorful cheese."In Goat Cheese and Roasted Beet Salad (left), the intense flavor of beets blends with goat cheese. "You have to love that earthy, rich flavor" of beets, says Judy. "If so, you'll find it was simply meant to pair with goat cheese."Goat Cheese and Roasted Beet SaladCapriole Farmstead Goat Cheeses
Goat Cheese and Fresh Mushroom Crostini
Sweet and tart contrast in this creamy, sharp goat cheese appetizer from Judy Schad. It looks elegant, but it's easy to make.Chevre (the French word for all goat-milk cheeses) can range from delicately aromatic to robustly sharp and acid. Goat milk gives cheese a texture and flavor that is "most memorable," Judy says.Consumption of goat cheese has grown, but still is only 1 percent of the total cheese market -- which is incredible to Judy. "For me, the textural difference is huge," she says. "You can get a rich, full-flavored cheese that's still light and fine."Goat Cheese and Fresh Mushroom Crostini
Goat Cheese and Spinach Tart
"I like serving this tart with mixed salad greens or sliced, garden-ripe tomatoes," Judy Schad says.Judy is such a fan of goat cheese that she uses it in almost any recipe calling for ricotta or cream cheese. "It poufs up like a soufflé . It gives lift to almost all egg-and-cheese dishes. It complements both savory and sweet dishes, and is amazing in mashed potatoes or as the base for cheesecake," she says.Goat Cheese and Spinach Tart
Rigatoni with Spinach, Walnuts, Sweet Potatoes and Goat Cheese

Why cook with goat cheese?
"I think the answer starts with the uniqueness of the milk," says Judy Schad of Capriole Farmstead Goat Cheeses in Greenville, Indiana. Here's a list of reasons she thinks people love goat cheese:Texture: Goat cheese has a fine, velvety texture because the fat globules are much smaller than the ones in cow's milk.Less Lactose: Goat's milk contains only trace amounts of Alpha S1 casein, the major protein in cow's milk, which can pose a problem for people who are lactose intolerant.Healthful: Compared with cow's milk, goat's milk has 13 percent more calcium, 25 percent more Vitamin B6 and 47 percent more Vitamin A.Flavorful: Like sheep and cow's milk cheeses, goat's milk cheese gets a more pronounced flavor as it ages. If it's warmed or toasted, goat's milk cheese explodes with flavor, Judy says.
Called to make cheese
Creating a French-style cheese from the Midwest doesn't seem quirky to Judy Schad. "I was called to do this and to live this way," she says.Goat herding and cheese making are provincial arts, she says. "I grew up right around here in New Albany and lived all my life in southern Indiana," she says. "My grandparents worked a farm, and we always had fresh milk, homemade cottage cheese and eggs. We cooked with whatever we had on hand."Judy's husband, Larry -- an attorney and New Albany native -- found the farm for Judy, who abandoned a Ph.D. in Renaissance literature in 1977 for earth, sky and fresh milk.
Growing the herd
From a single Alpine goat named Tea Rose, now immortalized on Capriole's colorful logo, Judy has grown her herd with the queens of the mild producers: Alpines, flop-eared Nubians and alabaster Saanens. Throughout the year, pens full of bawling baby goats keep the herd replenished and the does lactating.Twice-daily milking produces more than 200 gallons of milk. Most of the farm's production sells as fresh cheese. Some cheese is rolled in herbs or mixed with pine nuts or sun-dried tomatoes.Many customers find the handful of aged cheeses (which spend at least two months in cool, stainless-steel "caves") most interesting in terms of flavor and texture. Wrapped in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves, the O'Banon, an aged cheese named in honor of Indiana's beloved, late governor, Frank O'Bannon, wins the most rave reviews.Judy's favorite of the dozen or so Capriole cheeses is called Sofia, which is ripened about five days, leaving it mild but flavorful. She uses it as a salad cheese and an accompaniment to a crisp wine."Cheese is 95-percent milk. It's the quality and the flavor of the milk that makes our cheese what it is," Judy says. "And then there's something else." She waves an arm over the rolling pastures. "It's the terroir, a French word for the mystique of the land. It means a special sense of place, and that's what I feel here every day."Capriole cheeses are available from the farm's website or at selected cheese shops and specialty food shops such as Whole Foods.(A version of this story appeared in Midwest Living® March/April 2007.)Capriole Farmstead Goat CheesesWhole Foods


text: Right, I am attempting to make an application that will be used for a Minecraft (Bukkit & Vanilla) server. It is a protection to stop hackers. Now, due to some sections doing different things to the server, only one anti-hack can be active at a time. I'm trying to create a user-friendly application to do all the technical side for the user. I want to create a SwingWindow that will allow a user to pick one of 4 anti-hack packs. When the user chooses a anti-hack pack and clicks on it, I want the SwingWindow to open another set of user-interactive options where they can pick which anti-hacks they would like to enable. So if a user wishes to stop players using for example: xray, fly and texture packs, they can. But, if they want to ban x-ray and fly but not textures, they simply deselect the 'Texture Packs' check box and it will stop the xray and fly but still allow textures. The smallest pack contains 7 different anti-hacks. I need the menu to work in a style to that a user may first pick their pack, then it will take them to a menu with a patch button at the bottom. The patching is already complete. I need assistance on the menu. I need it to work in a minecraft main menu-like style where clicking on a button takes you to a different menu, in the same SwingWindow but not using an internal window or tabbed window. Can anyone give me some advice on how I could do this. Possibly using 'if' statements? Or just using the 'Disabling and Enabling Components' method? Any help would be much appreciated and credit will be given if it works as intended. I am willing to share most of of the source in question, but not all source being used for the application. Thanks!

Customer Reviews
Never would I imagine to be so excited about a used piece of clothing. The fabric is well made and the whole process of ordering and service from Mr Yuzo san is fantastic. An amazing find, reasonably priced and marketed to the right audience. Cannot recommend it enough. Will buy again... actually already did :)
The quality is perfect, delivery was fast, packaged with care (of course) and seems a perfect blend of traditional yet updated (in functionality). Love it:)
This kimono is honestly perfect for me, it is beautifully crafted, in incredible condition, and fits me perfectly (I am 5'10" and the 64" kimono is still long enough for me to have to tie it up with a koshihimo at the waist if I don't want it to drag on the floor). I bought it with an obi and tabi socks and the proprietor shipped them incredibly quickly and even included presents!
I am really pleased with the service, the fast shipping and the quality of the kimono. It was a present, and the receiver was overjoyed!
Thank you very much! Will definitely use your service again!
It's more beautiful in person. I absolutely love the artistry that went into designing this kimono and can't wait to wear it.

Up here in the cool heights of the Adelaide Hills, Nepenthe produces some soul reposing potions of their own: uncompromising wines of outstanding quality and internationally recognised distinction. Wines that, strangely enough, have been impressing both critics and consumers with their varietal faithfulness and subtle Adelaide Hills nuances. But wines this good undertake a journey as arduous and epic as Homer's famous hero - a journey that Nepenthe, like the gods, determine with immutable fascination.
Nepenthe's commitment to consistently high quality wine starts with the land. In fact, they're so dedicated to quality that they formed two specialized companies to deal with the demands of their high altitude vines - Nepenthe Viticulture and Nepenthe Irrigation.

Once you've got PcHelpWare up and running, you might want to modify it by branding it with your company logo or perhaps changing the layout of the controls.
This tutorial just covers changes to the actual controls on the server application. Modifying the background image to include something like your company logo can be done using a photo application like PhotoFiltre (http://www.photofiltre-studio.com/).
To enable you to edit the EXE file, you will need something that can view and modify executable files. One such utility is Resource Hacker (http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/). This tutorial is based on the operation of Resource Hacker.
Once you've downloaded and extracted Resource Hacker, start it by double clicking on ResHacker.exe. Now follow the steps below to creating your own branded server executable.
1. Go to File, Open…
2. In the Open dialog displayed, navigate to the create_server folder in the PcHelpWare folder structure.
3. Within the create_server folder, double click on the PcHelpware.exe.
4. This will display the tree structure for the application.
5. Expand the Dialog section in full.
6. Click on 2067. This will display both the code and the actual dialog.
7. The position and size of both the text fields and buttons can be changed using the control handles.
8. Another option is to change the text in the main window. Depending on what your background image looks like, you could feasibly end up with a screen like this…
9. Once you're happy with the layout, click on the Compile Script at the top of the screen.
10. Save the file and quit out of Resource Hacker (a backup copy is created in the create_server folder called PcHelpware_original.exe).
11. Start the PcHelpware viewer and create the server application.
12. Test the newly create server application to ensure that the fields and buttons are exactly where you want them.
13. If they're not to your liking, simply edit the PcHelpware.exe file again, and make some more changes. Recompile and test again.
14. Once you're happy with your custom server, make it available to your users.

"Obama has repeatedly returned to the well of racial divisiveness to serve his political ends," claims pundit Ann Coulter. "His 2008 presidential campaign managed to revive the white guilt that had long since dissipated and then hinted that the one path to racial reconciliation was to make him president. Only then could we stop talking about race – a conversation he had initiated in the first place.
"Alas, since he's been president, that's all we talk about."
So says Coulter in her new blockbuster, "Mugged." Once again, we see why the blonde bomber is more than a burr under the left's (side) saddle. "Mugged" explores the race-baiting employed by Obama and his minions, and I must say, it's the best Coulter book in some time. "Mugged" is a shocking analysis of the true history of race relations in America, and we learn shocking details that shine a light on the real guilty parties.

Among the sparkling vignettes Coulter provides is the scene in Tuscumbia, Ala. –home to the national headquarters of the KKK. This provides a most interesting glimpse into the utter hypocrisy of the left. Carter, just another in a string of coldly cynical Democrats running for president (and winning), pandered to the worst elements for votes, then turned around and declared himself a champion for civil rights.
TRENDING: God's plan: Save America by destroying current government
And notice how Michelle Obama has jumped into the fray. Coulter points out that when the Obamas appeared on "60 Minutes" the day after Barack declared his candidacy for president, Steve Kroft asked Michelle if she feared "some crazy person with a gun."
As the smooth propagandist she is, the future first lady replied, "I don't lose sleep over it, because the realities are that, you know, as a black man, Barack can get shot going to the gas station."
Advertisement - story continues below
How many black men have been shot going to the gas station in the last few decades? Hmm? Presumably, this was before Michelle came to feel proud of her country for the first time, but it shows again the icy pragmatism used by the left.
Coulter provides a bevy of important stories that show the mainstream media stonewall when it comes to black-on-white hate crimes – all the while keeping the reverse in front of the public for decades.
Take the case of Ann Viner. A 63-year-old woman in the affluent area of New Canaan, Conn., Viner was beaten and drowned in 1986, a week before the Howard Beach murder involving white and black teens. As Coulter points out, the New York Times ran three brief stories about Viner's murder, the longest one at 500 words "when there was still hope that the killers were not black."
The Howard Beach incident, however, in which 24-year-old Michael Griffith was purposely run over by a driver, became the stuff of legend for the left. A Hollywood movie was made about the incident, and singers Bruce Springsteen, Lauryn Hill and Cyndi Lauper featured the story in their music. Over 1,000 New York Times articles have featured the story.
Hopefully, you've figured out by now the partnership between the political left in this country and the media.

Back to Barack.
Americans are trusting, and that has proved to be a flawed characteristic when it comes to media coverage of race relations in this country. Coulter, a savvy attorney, presents compelling evidence that blatant lying advances the story that whites hate minorities in America.
Problem is, it isn't true: "In January 2009, an article in Slate said, 'Barack Obama received Secret Service protection earlier than any other candidate in history because of what is euphemistically referred to as the historic nature of the campaign' (i.e., the fact that he is a black guy).
"None of this was true," Coulter claims. "The reason Obama's Secret Service protection started so early was not because he was black. It had nothing to do with the ghosts of Lincoln and King. It was because campaigns start earlier these days."
Advertisement - story continues below
There you have it. Just one of hundreds of examples Ann Coulter provides in "Mugged." This is a terrific book, a collection of ready information the "average person" would not have access to. It lets the rest of us in on the important open secret that the left loathes much of the country.
After reading "Mugged," at the very least, the reader can make the decision to boycott certain media, and alerting as many as possible that they belong on a list of enemies of the state.

The big news that had to be covered today was the announcement by the EHR Association about the EHR Developer Code of Conduct. The core topics of the EHR Developer Code of Conduct are great:
- General business practices
- Patient safety
- Interoperability and data portability
- Clinical and billing documentation
- Privacy and security
- Patient engagement
Certainly there are other areas that I would have loved to see included, like EHR usability, but if we could address each of the areas listed above we'd have a big improvement over where we are today. Be sure to also check out the EHR Developer Code of Conduct and FAQs document and the EHR Developer Code of Conduct Implementation Guide for the full details on the EHR Code of Conduct.
The problem I have with this EHR Code of Conduct is that it has no teeth. There's no enforcement mechanism or reporting mechanism to show how an EHR vendor has chosen to implement the code of conduct. They won't even commit to having a list of EHR vendors that have adopted it. Trust me when I say that for every element of the EHR Code of Conduct, there's A LOT of room for interpretation.
Where there's room for interpretation, there's room for abuse.
Obviously, when you bring together 40 EHR vendors it's a real challenge to create something that has no interpretation. However, it seems they could have created a way to display how an EHR has chosen to meet the EHR code of conduct guidelines.
For example, the guideline says, "We will work with our customers to facilitate the export of patient data if a customer chooses to move from one EHR to another." Then, it even sets a minimum export of a CCD/CCDA document. We could discuss how that type of document is nearly enough to switch EHR software, but even if it was enough, there's a lot of ways you could implement this guideline. An EHR vendor could let the customer download a CCD for each patient individually and leave it to the customer to download all 5000 individual CCDs for their patients. That meets the guideline, but would be very different than an EHR vendor that gave you a one click download of CCDs for all your patients.
This qualitative data about how an EHR vendor has implemented the code of conduct should be easily available to doctors to compare across vendors. Otherwise, it has much less meaning and a lot of doctors will get bamboozled by the impression "commitment to the EHR Code of Conduct" implies. It's similar (and even worse) than the pass/fail EHR certification. Not all certified EHR are created equal and not all EHR Code of Conduct adopters will be equal either. Why not be transparent about how they meet the code?
In the webinar they suggested that "the industry itself will kind of make it transparent who has adopted the code and who hasn't adopted the code." Maybe a third party will make that data available, but it's a lot of work without a clear mechanism to pay for the work.
The other part of the code of conduct that really bothers me is the question posed in the title of this blog post: Will anything change? I loved a question that was asked on the webinar, "What pieces of the code of conduct were an EHR vendor not doing before the code?" They skirted the question saying that they couldn't comment on it and some other tap dancing around the question. Does this mean that EHR vendors will just use the EHR Code of Conduct's false trust to sale more product while doing little to change operationally? I'm certain this is not the intent of the committee, but could be the end result if those adopting the EHR Code of Conduct aren't held accountable.
I got comments from two EHR vendors about the EHR Code of Conduct. Take a look to see what SRSSoft's CEO Evan Steele said in their press release:
"SRS has always been committed to the principles identified in the Code of Conduct—designing our products with patient safety in mind, supporting physician/patient ownership of their data, safeguarding privacy and security, and communicating honestly in the marketplace," says Evan Steele, CEO of SRS. "We are pleased to be among the first EHR companies to adopt the formal code, and hope that all vendors will follow suit."
And John Glaser in the Siemens comment:
"The release of the EHR Developer Code of Conduct by the EHR Association is an important milestone in the maturation of the healthcare information technology industry, and we at Siemens Healthcare are proud to have supported its drafting and ratification," said John Glaser, PhD, CEO, Siemens Healthcare, Health Services. "The Code of Conduct includes many elements that just make too much sense to be ignored and it's my belief that Siemens and many players in this industry have already been adhering to many of these principles. Codifying these principles and providing a transparent way to show customers that companies are going to adopt them will help propel our industry's ability to deliver safer, more effective and more interoperable solutions."
It's not like an EHR vendor's going to come out and say they weren't following the Code of Conduct principles. They're not going to come out and say they don't care about the EHR Code of Conduct principles either. The question is whether they state it in public or not, will EHR vendors really change? I have my doubts without a clear mechanism of accountability.
In some ways this reminds me of the doping scandal in cycling. Everyone knew that everyone else was doing it and no one wanted to say anything to rock the boat because it would mean they'd have to admit to doing it. Once a few cyclists stopped doping, they were at a disadvantage to those who continued the unhealthy practices.
I vividly remember in the post-Lance Armstrong years an interview with Levi Leipheimer where he was asked about doping. He tersely responded, "I hope all the dopers and cheaters get caught. It's not fair that I'm having to compete with them." (Not an exact quote, but you get the gist) Once he stopped doping he knew he was at a disadvantage. He wanted those that were still doping to be held accountable. I wonder if we'll see something similar play out in the EHR world. Some EHR vendors follow the letter and intent of the code of conduct while other EHR vendors continue to skate around the edges since there's still nothing holding them accountable. Just like Levi couldn't name names in his interview, EHR vendors won't be able to name names either.
As I said to start this post, I love the intent of the EHR Code of Conduct. I just worry that it will do little to change the EHR world as we know it.
I'd also be remiss if I didn't also share a comment someone made on the Code of Conduct announcement webinar. Someone obviously didn't realize their mic was on and they said, "It's a love fest, an EHR Love Fest!" I'm not sure who it was that said it or why exactly they said it, but it gave me a good laugh. I always love a good EHR love fest myself.

As my blog's name references, this blog was originally to have some information on Paladin healing in addition to Druid healing. I got so busy with Ulduar, and all the juicy resto druid topics, that I haven't had a lot of time to give many paladin tips! So I thought that I would share one now.
As you know, one of the Holy Paladin's key spells with Wrath of the Lich King is Beacon of Light. One thing that I often had a spot of trouble with when healing with my paladin was making sure that beacon didn't drop on me mid-heal. If you too have this issue, I would like to recommend Beacon Countdown. It is a really fantastic, lightweight and un-obtrusive mod that provides a countdown and a soft click for you when your beacon (or sacred shield) is about to expire.
I have also set one of my corner text indicators in GRID to provide me with my beacon's time, but I still find that I prefer the mod as my reminder. I've often got so much going on when I'm healing on my paladin that the flash and soft clicks really help me to re-establish my beacon on my target.

What does a now 9-year-old kid do after becoming the infamous subject of an infamous hoax? He fronts a metal band, natch.
In 2009, then 6-year-old Falcon Heene became wrapped up in an elaborate hoax staged by his parents, Mayumi Iizuka and Richard Heene. On the afternoon of October 15th, news broke that a balloon was floating over Fort Collins, Colorado, and that Falcon was trapped inside. The scoop quickly went viral, with people everywhere tuning in as the balloon swept across the skyline, squinting to try to see if there was a boy inside.

Sugarbush Resort achieved another milestone when NBC's Today Show broadcast from the resort's Lincoln Peak Village on Thursday, February 21. But it was not an historical event for Sugarbush alone. The four-hour broadcast marked the first time in the history of the morning show that the entire Today anchor team and crew broadcast the whole show live from a remote location.
"In my 30 years with the show, this is the first time I know for a fact that not even the lights have been turned on back in the New York studios," remarked one NBC producer. "Everybody from the show is up here!"
Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira, Al Roker, Natalie Morales, Ann Curry and Hoda Kotb spent most of the four hours playing on the snow at the base of the Super Bravo quad. They worked the live audience, interacted with fans, and did a number of segments that included everything from winter fashion, to on-snow gadgets, to running an obstacle course.
"That was hysterical," laughed Meredith Vieira after watching Ann Curry and Al Roker both blow out of one snowshoe while navigating through the obstacle course.
Musical guest Sara Bareillis, whose "Love Song" is currently the most downloaded in the country, played three songs in the Gate House Lodge.
The event was also a high point in Sugarbush history, according to Sugarbush president Win Smith.
"Aside from the new village, this is probably the biggest thing in the resort's 50 years," remarked Smith. "Having six million people around the country see Sugarbush and all of the people and offerings that make the (Mad River) Valley such a special place is invaluable. I think the broadcast showed that life really is better here."
Smith showed off a different view of The Valley and the resort to host Matt Lauer the evening before the broadcast. He and The Today Show star went on a full-moon ski Wednesday night. The adventure was highlighted in a segment that ran during the show.

The Internal Revenue Service says you must pay your taxes during the government shutdown. But don't expect any refunds.
The IRS said Tuesday it will gladly accept tax returns and payments during the shutdown. In fact, they are required by law.
But, the agency said, it will not issue any tax refunds until the government resumes normal operations.
Most Americans filed their taxes in the spring. But more than 12 million filers asked for an automatic six-month extension, and those returns are due Oct. 15.
Got questions? Sorry, IRS call centers will not be manned, though automated ones are still running.
The agency did issue a temporary reprieve to taxpayers who are getting audited. Audits will also be suspended until the government starts back up.

Open those minds
Lisa Provence authored a great article [News, "Detour, Bikers to skip Scottsville," August 22, 2002] (http://www.readthehook.com/92406/news-update-detoured-bikers-skip-scotts...) that has indeed been a topic of great discussion in Scottsville.
The talk of the town has been supportive of the Mayor and the three councilors who supported the "Ride for Life." Of course there are those who would disagree, but they belong to a clique in which I do not have membership.
One of the most remarkable facets of the story is that there was no reason for the town to take a vote in the first place. Anybody with common sense, a trait that a few councilors and their supporters seem to lack, should have realized that motorcyclists have driver's licenses as well as vehicle registration on their bikes and need no permission from anybody to ride our public streets and highways and to visit our town.
The site that they had expressed an interest in using is owned and managed by Albemarle County Parks and Recreation. At no point in any of the open public discussions were the organizers of the "Ride for Life" told that they needed only to work with the County to use County property.
Nor were they or the public told that other groups– such as a Stanley Steamers club and a BMW group who have recently come to towndid not go before Council for permission. They were warmly welcomed into shops and restaurants throughout the town. Oddly, there are many motorcyclists who also visit our town in smaller groups throughout the year, although I would wager that few Council members have ever seen them.
Scottsville has had a lot of press recently about some of its enhancement projects, projects that are designed to bring more people as tourists and consumers to see and understand our history, shop in our stores, dine in our restaurants, enjoy recreational activities, and spend a relaxing evening in several inns. One the opposing councilors says time and again that Scottsville's reputation is known far and wide for its recent actions. I would whole-heartedly agree.
Discrimination should be a part of our past, not only in our nation but in our own small community. Open-mindedness and inclusion should direct our activities, as our Mayor attempted to do in casting the tie-breaking vote. I sincerely hope the group sponsoring the "Ride for Life" has not been scared away. Their cause is worthwhile.

If you want to survive in the game of sports betting, Recommended Football Bets in List then you have to use effective money management. I recommend that you follow these guidelines at all times.
- Only invest what you can realistically afford to lose. All Today Soccer Predictions you have to remember that you really do not need to start with al a lot of money. I got started with only $100 dollars and I followed the system and my money has doubled over and over again over the course of years.
- Do not make your initial bet too high. Only invest 5% of your total bankroll for a flat betting system (in which you bet the same amount each time) and no more than 2% for a progressive system. You need to be patient here and allow your systems to do their slow and steady work.
- Increase your initial bets when your bankroll has increased by 25%. This will increase your earning power, Recommended Football Bets just remember to stick to the suggested percentages in #2.
- Remember to Diversify your portfolio. If you have a total bankroll of $1000 and 4 systems that you would like to use, then each system should be allotted $250 and you have to keep those amounts separate.
You have to be disciplined in your use of your systems and in your money management strategy. It can be difficult especially you are doing exceptionally well or if you are losing badly. You may be tempted to deviate from the systems or the money management guidelines in either of those situations. But do not, Tips And Predictions For Today just remain diligent and the rewards are sure to follow.
Recommended Football Bets in List ?
There are punters who like the 'draw' market as it pays well. One common argument among these 'draw' punters is "Are draws independent of form, that is, are they random?". There are two views :* One view is that draws are independent of previous results, that each match is different. These punters do not accept the theory that a draw is due just because it has not happened for a long time. They believe that the match outcome depends on circumstances and conditions of that particular game, for example : attacking and defending capabilities of both teams, weather on that day, pitch condition, etc.* There are opposing punters who feel strongly that the probability of draws depends on the previous games, that it boils down to the psychology and mentality of the players of the 'drawish' teams.Irrespective of whatever camp these draw specialists are in, all of them agree that draw bets are more worthwhile compared to betting Home or Away as the average odds are more attractive.In picking winning 'draws', the following factors are to be considered :1) It is essential to choose the teams instead of choosing the matches, that draw is largely due to the style of play, such as :* Defensive style and struggling to attack will tend to draw more. * Attacking formation and tactics will not draw too often.2) If a certain team draws a few matches, analyse why :* Does the team have problems scoring? If yes, why. (Is the key striker injured?)* Is the team renowned for tight defence?* Is it psychological? Maybe a team on a long losing run may try harder just to get at least a point, that is, a draw.3) The following trends in matches ending with a draw are common :* Matches where both teams are happy with a point, for example, a draw is sufficient for both to avoid relegation or to qualify for a cup competition.* Matches played in poor weather conditions like heavy rain which usually lead to less goals and higher chance for a draw.* Derby matches where a draw may satisfy both parties.* Home team in great form against Away team in strong top table position.4) Teams which draw a lot with each other repeatedly could mean :* They are equal in strength.* There is some kind of psychological impact that it is tough for one of them to break the other down.5) Do take note of the following :* If a team has been drawing a lot, and if it has appointed a new manager, wait a few matches to determine if this team is still drawing frequently.* Be cautious with newly promoted and newly relegated teams where performance can be erratic.* Teams improving in form which may be more likely to draw playing Away.ConclusionSome leagues appear to have either a higher or lower percentage of draws compared to others. This could be due to the characteristics of the leagues in terms of competitiveness, or even prevalence of match fixing. This is why some bookmakers do not offer odds on certain minor European league matches at the end of the season.
Betting the House?
Now that we have put the Barry Bonds/ Babe Ruth blah, blah, blah to sleep, I think it's time that we sat back and wagered a few bucks on our favorite MLB team. Parity is here and every one of the six divisions is up for grabs this year and handicapping these teams, takes patience and talent.
Let's start with the glamour division and of course I am referring to the American League East where the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have been trading punches since the opening week of April and George's boys are now sitting in the penthouse.
Lurking down in the lobby are the Toronto Blue Jays who have fought off injuries to their starting pitching staff, with superb hitting and are 32-25 and are just three games back. Toronto has made it clear from the get go, that they will spend money during the season in order to contend.
In the AL Central my 9-1 betting bonanza and that would be the 2005 Chicago White Sox are scuffling a bit after a torrid start and presently trail the Motown Detroit Tigers. The Tigers began the first 50 games under Jim Leyland in spectacular fashion, but injuries are beginning to hit them, with the latest being to Pudge Rodriguez.
At 28-29 the Cleveland Indians will make a move at some point and placing a few bucks on them, could provide you with a nice return on your dollar. The AL West with Texas, Oakland, Seattle and Los Angeles is a crapshoot, with only 5.5 games separating the VIP section and the cheap seats. The first place Rangers incidentally are the only team in the West with a winning mark in games played within the division and against the powerful AL East and you cannot ignore that vital gambling statistic.
The New York Mets like their neighbors the Yankees like to throw the money around and they sit atop the NL East presently, but the Phillies and Braves can almost reach out and touch them. With 14 straight division titles, I certainly would think about a wagering a few bucks on them to win once again.
The Cardinals are suddenly trying to ward off the Cincinnati Reds who are getting healthy and pounding the ball. The Cardinals meanwhile have all kids of injury issues with Pujols and ace Chris Carpenter does not look stable.
Just like their counterparts in the AL West, the NL West Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Padres, Giants and Rockies are in a fierce battle for supremacy. Just six games separate the top and bottom, with Arizona leading the pack. The Dodgers are getting superb play out of Garciaparra and if their veterans can stay healthy, watch out!
