|Ranking score and category
University of Maine is a public institution that was founded in 1862. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 8,778, its setting is rural, and the campus size is 660 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. University of Maine's ranking in the 2014 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, 167. Its in-state tuition and fees are $10,594 (2013-14); out-of-state tuition and fees are $27,454 (2013-14).
Located on the banks of the Stillwater River in the town of Orono, the University of Maine campus is about 60 miles from the Atlantic coast and approximately 100 miles from the Canadian border. At the University of Maine, students can choose from nearly 90 undergraduate majors and more than 70 master's degree programs, including business, law, engineering and education. Outside the classroom, University of Maine students participate in many annual events. When freshmen move into the dorms before fall semester, faculty and staff volunteers greet the new students, help them move in and direct traffic as part of the Maine Hello program. Each spring, classes are canceled for Maine Day, when the university community hosts a parade, and then everyone helps clean the campus.
The university, often called UMaine, also has more than 200 student organizations and about 25 fraternities and sororities for students to join. Student athletes at UMaine can get involved at the intramural, club and varsity levels. The UMaine Black Bears intercollegiate sports teams compete in various conferences of the NCAA Division I and are best known for hockey. Notable UMaine alumni include bestselling horror author Stephen King, who wrote "Carrie" and "The Green Mile."
|School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school):
The University of Maine offers the extensive academic opportunities you'd expect from a major research university with the close-knit feel of a small college. As Maine's flagship university, UMaine offers the state's most comprehensive academic experience, with more than 90 undergraduate majors and academic programs, 75 master's programs and 30 doctoral programs. All majors benefit from a firm foundation in the liberal arts. Top students are invited to join UMaine's Honors College, one of the country's oldest honors programs.
The University of Maine is one of the National Science Foundation's top 100 research universities, and our facilities and faculty have an international reputation for excellence. Among the highlights are the Climate Change Institute, which has been featured on "60 Minutes," the Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology, which is a hub for cutting-edge sensor and nanotechnology research, and the Advanced Structures & Composites Center, which is leading the nation in deepwater offshore wind energy development.
UMaine students have extraordinary opportunities to gain real-world experience. SPIFFY, our student investment club, manages a $1.6 million real-money portfolio. Wildlife ecology majors learn about bear behavior by going out and tagging cubs. Engineering majors take advantage of co-ops and internships that often lead to employment after graduation. Education majors take advantage of urban, rural and international student-teaching opportunities.
UMaine has five colleges --the College of Education and Human Development; the College of Engineering; the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture; the Honors College -- and the Maine Business School.
The majority of undergraduate classes are taught by professors, and many go on to become friends and mentors to their students. Students have opportunities to work alongside some of the most renowned scholars and scientists in the world -- whether they're talking civil engineering over dinner at Pat's Pizza or traversing an Antarctic ice sheet with climate researchers.
In addition to state-of-the art research and classroom facilities, the University of Maine is the region's cultural hub, home to the Collins Center for the Arts and several museums and galleries. The New Balance Student Recreation and Fitness Center is a campus hot spot, as is Fogler Library, the state's largest library.
Students can get involved in more than 200 clubs and organizations, 18 fraternities or seven sororities, Student Government, community service groups, intramural sports and more. UMaine is the state's only Division I school, and athletic events -- especially hockey -- are a big part of student life here. In fact, the Wall Street Journal says Alfond Arena has the best atmosphere in college hockey, and Orono is ranked 29 in The Bleacher Report's Top 50 Hockey Cities in North America.
There's no place like Maine, and our students take advantage of the great outdoors whenever they can. There are 15 miles of walking, biking and cross-country skiing trails on campus. Some of the best skiing in the East is located within an easy driving distance of campus, as are Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and Baxter State Park, the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail.

"A Call Enraging the Fan Base"
Heard from former Vol offensive guard Bill Emendorfer (1970-72) about today's KNS story, who was as close to the controversial play as possible, right there on the west sidelines at the 1971 Liberty Bowl.
"We had about 40 people on the field as soon as it appeared the ball had changed hands. It was in front of our bench.
"There was confusion and that was good for us.
"Second was that Tim Townes, David Allen, and I went duck hunting in Arkansas the day after the game. I thought we were going to get shot. The Hog fans were really mad."
A bad call couldn't enrage a fan base that much, could it?
That would never happen in Tennessee.
At least one Arkansas fan at church today deferred extensive comment on today's story.

Fed Attacks Mortgage Rates: 4 Things to Know
New program aims to make home loans cheaper for prospective buyers.
The Federal Reserve on Tuesday announced a new approach to stabilizing the housing market: driving down mortgage rates.
The effort is based on a two-pronged program that involves buying up to $100 billion in debt of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, while at the same time purchasing up to $500 billion of mortgage-backed securities backed by Fannie, Freddie and Ginnie Mae.
The initiative is intended to lower Fannie and Freddie's financing costs, which will enable the government-controlled, mortgage-finance giants to pass along those savings to consumers in the form of lower interest rates.
Here's what you need to know:
1. Wide Spreads With home prices continuing to decline and investors unsure as to the extent of the government's support of Fannie and Freddie's obligations, the mortgage finance giants have had to pay higher premiums on their debt. This increases their cost of funding and translates into more expensive interest rates for consumers. "Spreads of rates on GSE debt and on GSE-guaranteed mortgages have widened appreciably of late," the Fed said in a statement announcing the initiative. "This action is being taken to reduce the cost and increase the availability of credit for the purchase of houses, which in turn should support housing markets and foster improved conditions in financial markets more generally."
2. Half Point Cut So what will the actions mean for mortgage rates? Keith Gumbinger, of HSH Associates, says that the moves could bring fixed mortgage rates down by as much as a half point. "Having someone with hundreds of billions of dollars to buy these things--fresh money in the market--means rates should go down," Gumbinger says. "It's a direct pass through [to consumers], if their cost of funds goes down, down goes the cost of mortgage credit on the other side."
3. Necessary, But Not Sufficient In a smoothly functioning housing market, such a significant drop in mortgage rates would have a profound impact on housing demand: more buyers would enter the market to take advantage of the lower rates, says Susan Wachter, a professor of real estate at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. But with home prices already having dropped more than 20 percent from their peaks and facing additional declines due to a weakening economy, higher job losses and fresh foreclosures, the results of this program may be more modest. "The responsiveness that one would expect may very well not be there because the magnitude of the driving factors that are pulling the market down [is] just so large," Wachter says.
4. Explicit Guarantee? Richard Moody, chief economist at Mission Residential, argues that the Fed's actions aren't the best way to stabilize Fannie and Freddie's funding costs. Instead of relying on the government to purchase such assets, he argues that Uncle Sam should explicitly back Fannie and Freddie's debt. "That way [the Fed is] not on the hook for these purchases like they are now," he says. This step would reduce the risk of buying Fannie and Freddie's debt and lower their costs of funding, Moody says.

Boks name Lambie at fly-half
ESPN Staff
November 7, 2012
The Sharks' Patrick Lambie will start at fly-half against Ireland © Getty Images
South Africa boss Heyneke Meyer has handed the fly-half reins to Patrick Lambie ahead of Saturday's game with Ireland at the Aviva Stadium.
Morne Steyn and Johan Goosen shared the No.10 shirt during the recent Rugby Championship but Goosen has been ruled out of their northern hemisphere tour through injury and Steyn has been dropped to the bench. And it is Lambie who has got the nod at fly-half and he is set to earn his eighth start for the Springboks on Saturday.
The team shows three changes from the one that lost to New Zealand in their final match of the Championship. Juandre Kruger comes into the second-row in place of the injured Andries Bekker while JP Pietersen replaces sidelined winger Bryan Habana.
"I'm excited to see what Pat can bring to the team," said Meyer. "He played very well in the last few weeks of the Currie Cup and hopefully he can bring that momentum with him on Saturday.
"It's also good to have JP back. He's had a great season and will want to finish the season on a high. At lock, there has been strong competition for the No 5 jersey all season and now Juandré gets an opportunity again."
Saracens hooker Schalk Brits is named among the replacements and could make his first appearance for the national side since 2008. He will take his place on the bench alongside fellow front-rowers Pat Cilliers and CJ van der Linde.
"Schalk is an explosive player who can bring something special off the bench," said Meyer. "CJ is very experienced and knows the conditions here quite well, as he played for Leinster for two seasons."
After taking in the Championship, Meyer is looking forward to seeing how his team cope with the northern hemisphere conditions.
"I've said from the outset that I'd like to see which of the players can handle the northern hemisphere conditions on this tour, as it will be the same for the Rugby World Cup in 2015," Meyer said. "We'll be facing an Ireland team that is never an easy opponent in Dublin.
"The Springboks have only won one of their last four Tests here and since they lost at Aviva Stadium against South Africa in November 2010, they have recorded a number of good victories at their home ground.
"They will also be desperate to get back to winning ways after winning two of their eight Tests this season, which, to my mind, is not a true reflection of how good the Irish really are. But we're in a similar situation and would like to start this tour on a positive note."
South Africa: Zane Kirchner, JP Pietersen, Jaco Taute, Jean de Villiers (captain), Francois Hougaard, Pat Lambie, Ruan Pienaar, Tendai Mtawarira, Adriaan Strauss, Jannie du Plessis, Eben Etzebeth, Juandré Kruger, Francois Louw, Willem Alberts, Duane Vermeulen
Replacements: Schalk Brits, CJ van der Linde, Pat Cilliers, Flip van der Merwe, Marcell Coetzee, Morné Steyn, Juan de Jongh, Lwazi Mvovo

The feedback from the outward bound students has been fantastic. Similar feedback from parents - two saying it was the best experience their children have ever had.
Mick Eller - Principal, Kempsey High School
I expect years from now the Outward Bound adventure will be a common reference point in the lives of a community of people.
Robert Biggs - Principal - Irymple Secondary College, Mildura
The benefits of an Outward Bound Course are amazing.
I believe anyone who goes through such a self-reflecting experience will return with an incredible sense of self-awareness that strengthens your perceptions of the world despite the influence of society.
Robbie Gladman, Navigator Participant
I can not speak highly enough of the quality of programs Outward Bound offer and urge you to support them generously.

Actually I didn't pay attention on this issue but if falls and deductions REALLY matter, the skater also matters. NMURA, if you need some more statistics then ask me, I'll post it for you.
This too will pass away.
Oh my. Y'all are terrible at this.
This one's easy-peasy.
*struggles with the toughest jumps and never mastered them although she did excute them sometimes in competition
*known as a skater's skater
*extremely clean edges
*strong lower body
*effortless speed and flow
*never skated clean
*always marked higher than her peers who had comparable technical content
*could express the music but was never known to be fully/emotionally invested such that she was known as a sensational artist
*decent spins but never the best in the business
*fast, intricate footwork
And if that isn't enough with a different haircut they'd look alike
Thank you. Thank you very much.
So are you saying - using these examples - that reputation gets you decent to good PCS inspite of how poorly your TES may be in a competion?
Crazy about sports!
To be honest, I don't think there is a female equivalent of Patrick Chan. This thread has certainly been interesting, however, because I'm reading answers I never imagined would be put forward!
I personally voted for Carolina Kostner because of her dubious 2nd place finish at 2008 Worlds. If not her, then maybe Laura Lepisto.
The question in the original post was "Meaning who can have major falls/errors and still win?"
Any other connotations of what being "the woman version of Patrick Chan" might mean would be added in the mind of the poster, beyond the original question.
Female version of Chan? Hmmm... difficult question. First time I thought about Yuna and her programs at worlds (FS with 2 serious mistakes ahead of Mao's nearly clean program), but I don't know if it's good comparison... Chan has always been a weak jumper meanwhile Yuna...
So my answer is: Carolina Kostner.
And Lepisto...
Also regarding their, PCS its a little generous, but no where near over the top like PChan. Ladies equavilent of 86+ PCS would be over 63-64+ PCS and i don't think neither of them ever crack that. Laura only got high PCS during her Olympic FS, which was rightly deserved and on world championship, maybe a little generous. I can't remember the last time Koster get 63+ PCS mark with 3 falls.
If we're talking overrated enough to land on the podium with CRAPTASTIC skates: Laura Lepisto, Irina Slutskaya (usually sloppy), and, sorry everyone, Yu-Na Kim.
When Yu-Nam's jumps are off, I really can't get past the horrible positions, lack of toe point, musceled ugly spins, lack of 3 loop (just to play it safe and rest on her laurels), and fake "emotions" on the ice... constant open mouth doesn't equal expression to me. At the end of her Olympic LP, there was such a lack of excitement with her (and everyone else, IMO) that I couldn't believe that she would end up winning. I mean, I don't HATE her, but she is far from the best ever.
Kostner in her heyday, but if she stays on her feet, she will probably be propped up by the judges again. The similarities between her and Chan is that they are both known to have great skilling skills and artistiry. The latter I never really got. I just don't see the artistry in Chan's skating. Sometimes, I feel he tries too hard to impress the judges and he does not really reach out to the audience.
lepisto, but she her SS are not comparable
She definitely deserved her World title IMO and I never felt it was even that close that night either.
Yuka could only hope to do well skating nearly perfectly. She never could do anything with falls, let alone many of them.
Irina Slutskaya especially Grand Prix 2005 & 2006

The Salem News
---- — To the editor:
There is no rule or tradition on selecting a candidate to fill the remaining time left in a Salem councilor's vacancy.
According to the city charter, it is the sole responsibility of the council to choose a candidate who they feel in their judgment is best qualified to serve.
The reason is as clear as a bell.
Just because a candidate is the runner-up in the last election does not make him the best qualified. In some cases, the runner-up could have the mentality of an imbecile.
Thus, having the council appoint the candidate who they feel is best qualified is reasonable and just. The best qualified could be any qualified Salem citizen.
In this case, both candidates are well-qualified. It is just a judgment call to make.
But if I were a member of the council, it would be difficult for me to vote against Steve Pinto, since he already has the experience of serving as a city councilor.
Anthony V. Salvo
Salem mayor, 1984-1989

The petting zoo, penguin exhibit, and the railroad ride: these are the main attractions for most zoos, lovely animal parks with a family friendly atmosphere (unless the crazy honey badger is coming at you). But even the greatest zoo cannot supply what Break's animal videos can. Imagine the cages were gone and the animals ran free causing havoc throughout the park. Monkey's screaming through food courts. Llamas running rampant across the savanna. This is the Break zoo. From vicious animal attacks to hilarious falls and disgusting animal habits, these clips showcase rare moments from across the animal kingdom.

N.C. State coach Tom OBrien often talks about the advantage a team can gain from being in a position to determine its fate.
Thats precisely where the Wolfpack (4-2, 1-1 ACC) sits entering the game Saturday at Maryland (4-2, 2-0).
Although the remaining two road games after Saturday are at North Carolina next week and at Clemson on Nov. 17, the win over Florida State on Oct. 6 gives State an opportunity to take the ACC Atlantic, get to Charlotte for the Dec. 1 league title game and win the league championship for the first time since 1979.
Florida State (6-1, 3-1) still has the clearest path to Charlotte. With a win over Clemson (5-1, 2-1), the Seminoles only need to win out in conference play and depend on the Tigers to beat State.
But the beauty of the Wolfpacks situation is that there are no contingencies relating to the divisional title if it runs the table against Maryland, UNC, Virginia, Wake Forest, Clemson and Boston College.
At 10-2 and 7-1 with the tiebreaker edge over Florida State, the Pack would go to Charlotte regardless of what the Seminoles do.
But is State, which played so poorly on defense in its losses to Tennessee and Miami, capable of such a remarkable finish?
The odds of that happening are probably about one in ten, but here are four things that could make it possible:
1. Injuries: State has an uncanny habit of getting hurt in preseason and early season, then recovering in time to catch a second wind in November.
That pattern is a must in this scenario.
If the offensive line gets well and stays well, quarterback Mike Glennon should improve his numbers (12 touchdown passes, seven interceptions) during the second half even though the schedule is more difficult.
2. Pass defense: Even after the 17-16 win over the Seminoles, State is still dead last in the league against the pass.
More interceptions by beleaguered David Amerson would help, of course. But two things the Pack needs more are pressure on opposing passers and mid-range containment. Through the first six games, opponents too often have been able to turn what should be a relatively short gains into 10, 15 and 20-yarders.
A part of that goes to linebacker inexperience. But to their credit, the young linebackers have exceeded expectations against the run.
3. Little things: The Pack is ninth in the league on kickoff returns, seventh on punt returns, eighth on field-goal conversion percentage, seventh on third-down conversions and 10th in turnover margin.
Over the final six games, it could make a remarkable difference if State could just move up two or three notches in each of those categories.
4.Mental toughness: In the two losses, several key players did not respond well at all to adversity, thereby allowing frustration to lead to more mistakes and poor judgment.
If this State team is go where no Wolfpack team has gone since 1979, its going to require a lot of composure and particularly in the road games. In other words, starting now.

Hunters visit along a fence line on Saturday's opening of prairie chicken season in Butler County.
Several decades ago hunters from all over Kansas and other states gathered in the Flint Hills for the opening of prairie chicken season. The Sundgren Ranch, south of Cassoday, is one of the few places that continues the tradition.
Three of about 25 hunters leave the field after hunting prairie chickens Saturday morning on the Sundgren Ranch, where hunters have gathered to open the season for nearly 60 years.
Chris Peterson, left, talks of past prairie chicken hunts with his father, Kent, Saturday morning.

Mark Kennedy left De Soto at 3 a.m. to be at the Sundgren Ranch for the opening day of prairie chicken season. He's been coming to the annual hunt for about 25 years. Saturday was only the second time he didn't get at least one bird.
Kent Peterson, of El Dorado, rests while he waits for prairie chickens on the Sundgren Ranch Saturday morning. Some hunters have been gathering at the ranch to hunt on opening day for more than 50 years.
Mark Kennedy, left, shakes hands with Steve Sundgren at their annual prairie chicken hunt. Kennedy said getting to see longtime friends is a main reason why he comes to the event in Butler County.
Hunters leave the field Saturday morning. For about 60 years up to 70 hunters have gathered at the Sundgren Ranch to open prairie chicken season.
Drake Stoudenmyer, of Bucyrus, was the only hunter to shoot a prairie chicken Saturday morning on an annual hunt that's spanned nearly 60 years. Prairie chicken numbers appear to be up this year in the Flint Hills, though few birds flew Saturday morning.
Hunters gather to talk with rancher Steve Sundgren after hunting prairie chickens Saturday morning. The Sundgren family has hosted annual opening day prairie chicken hunts on their Butler County ranch for about 60 years.

It is hard to believe that the start of school is just around the corner! It seems that no matter what channel you happen to be surfing, there never seems to be a lack of back to school commercials. Grocery stores are filled to the brim with new backpacks and school supply lists. I would imagine many are secretly dreading the end of days spent at the pool and mornings without an alarm clock.
Not me!
I am ready for the new school year because in just one month I will get to witness the impact Thespians can make in their community. I know what you are thinking- "My Tony in West Side Story last spring moved everyone to tears, I think that meets my quota for community changing this year." Think again, friends! You have the opportunity to show your community what it means to be a Thespian - offstage!
Help wanted: Educator-Advocates needed to support adoption of the National Core Theatre Standards
On June 4, the new web-based National Core Arts Standards were released during a streaming webinar in which nearly three thousand individuals participated. The standards in dance, media art, music, theatre, and visual arts are the result of three years of work by the National Coalition for Arts Standards. Seventy writers and NCCAS leadership reviewed thousands of comments by teachers, administrators, parents and other that we're received as part three public reviews. The theatre standards were created cooperatively by the Educational Theatre Association and the American Alliance for Theatre and Education. Like the rest of the arts standards, they're now a 24/7 resource that teachers can use to build curriculum and assessments to them help create better arts learning and opportunities for their students. But there's one catch: National does not mean federal. The Core Arts Standards are voluntary—that is, the adoption of standards in any discipline is a state-based process and decision. You can certainly start using these standards to reflect your teaching and your students' learning and perhaps do a crosswalk with your state's existing standards to see how they align. But in order for these to be YOUR standards, your state will have to adopt them, either by administrative decree or through a legislative process. And having the standards become the law of the land is important because, as an educator, how you align with them can influence your ability to grow and shape your program and be a factor in your evaluation.

One of the main goals for our Theatre Education Community is to help theatre students and professionals from all over connect and identify with each other in order to build resources and support the theatre education field. We plan to shine a spotlight on a different member every other week by conducting a simple interview.
Our latest Spotlight Member is Barb Lachman, troupe director of Troupe 640 at Shorewood High School in Shoreline, WA. After serving for over 20 years as a troupe director at three different schools, Barb is planning to retire from teaching theatre this year. She plans to spend more time teaching English, serving as Department Head, and taking on some community theatre projects. I asked Barb to answer a few questions for us so we could learn a little more about her.

Hi! My name is Denton Williams, and I am from Richmond, Missouri. (Troupe 7179)
Richmond is a very small town with a strong foundation in the arts located approximately an hour northeast of Kansas City. I grew up with a passion for the theatre, and I was very involved in our town's community and youth theatre companies. I remember being shocked when I got to high school and was told that there was a conference every year in January for students in Missouri that loved theatre as much as I did. So I registered with my troupe as soon as I could, and before I knew it we were in Springfield, MO at the Missouri State University campus seeing shows and participating in workshops. One of the more meaningful moments of the trip was seeing the Missouri All-State Production of Jekyll & Hyde. I remember after watching the show turning to my troupe and saying, "That's going to be me someday!".
After that, I was determined. I waited and waited for auditions for the next All-State show to be posted, and finally, at the beginning of my Junior year, there they were. The chosen show was an obscure Jeanine Tesori musical, Violet. I had no idea what it was, and quite frankly I didn't care, I just knew I wanted to be apart of it. I managed to hunt down a copy of the Off-Broadway recording of the show online, along with a copy of the short story

Mandatory Health Insurance Now!
It will save private medicine -- and spur medical innovation.
In an ABC News/Washington Post poll last fall, 62 percent of the respondents favored a universal, government-run medical insurance program. Such surveys reflect a widespread frustration with a health care system that is too expensive, too uncertain, and too complicated.
The answer proposed by John Kerry and John Edwards is to continue the creeping socialization of medicine that Americans have been experiencing since the 1960s. That course would mean the end of private health care in the U.S., and with it the unparalleled medical progress that has benefited patients in this country and throughout the world. It would have a disastrous impact on medical innovation and the quality of care.
The Bush administration, for its part, has failed to offer a coherent alternative to piecemeal nationalization of health care. But the increasingly successful campaigns to privatize Social Security and expand school vouchers suggest a way out: mandatory private health insurance. Under this system, in effect, purchasing health insurance would be not much different from buying car or homeowner's insurance today. As a result, we could preserve and extend the advantages of a free market with a minimal amount of coercion.
Why Worry
The current system poses three main problems. First, it's expensive. In 2003 total spending on health care was $1.7 trillion, some $5,800 for every man, woman, and child in the nation, accounting for more than 15 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product (and up from 14.1 percent of GDP in 2002).
Second, despite all the spending, many Americans don't have health insurance. A May 2003 Congressional Budget Office study estimated that 59 million Americans are uninsured at some point in the course of a year, while 21 million to 31 million are uninsured for the whole year. According to a June 2003 report from the Institute of Medicine, the U.S. loses between $65 billion and $130 billion annually as a result of poor health and early death due to lack of insurance. The uninsured impose costs on the rest of us, too: A 2003 Kaiser Commission report to the Urban Institute estimated that uninsured Americans each year receive about $34.5 billion in uncompensated health care while paying $26.4 billion out of their own pockets.
Third, health care is a paperwork nightmare for patients, doctors, insurers, and employers. In 1999 The New England Journal of Medicine published a study that found it cost $300 billion annually to administer various health insurance plans. It takes some 3 million clerks and managers to run our health care system; that's nearly four times the number of doctors practicing medicine in the United States. It costs between $8 and $18 to file each insurance claim, and a third of them have to be refiled. In a survey published last year by the American Hospital Association's Trendwatch, 64 percent of doctors said they were either extremely or very concerned about the level of paperwork and administration they have to deal with.
Fed up with the whole mess, 82 percent of Americans rank health care as one of the most important issues in the 2004 presidential election, according to a Gallup poll conducted in February. A Pew Research Center for the People & the Press survey conducted in the summer of 2003 found that 67 percent of Americans favored "the U.S. government guaranteeing health insurance for all citizens, even if it means raising taxes." In last fall's ABC News/Washington Post poll, 79 percent of respondents said it was more important for the government to provide health care coverage for all Americans than it was to hold down taxes.
Politicians pay attention to the polls. The compassionate conservatives in the Bush administration tried to neutralize a traditionally Democratic issue by ramming a new $530 billion Medicare drug benefit program through Congress last fall. They have also offered various half-hearted market-oriented baby steps that do not add up to a plan that can compete with the Democrats' vision of "affordable, quality, and reliable health care coverage" for all.
John Kerry vowed at the Democratic National Convention, "When I am president, we will stop being the only advanced nation in the world which fails to understand that health care is not a privilege for the wealthy and the connected and the elected -- it is a right for all Americans." His running mate has declared, "I want to make health care a birthright for every single child born in this country, period. I want to make sure all of us vulnerable adults are covered." The main thrust of the Kerry-Edwards reforms is to extend the coverage offered by various government health insurance programs to more and more Americans. The candidates want to enroll nearly everyone under age 18 in the State Children's Health Insurance Programs (S-CHIPs) and allow Americans to join Medicare at 55.
These Democratic health care proposals are a continuation of the socialization trend that began with the adoption of Medicare and Medicaid in the 1960s. Despite the breakdown of the ambitious Clinton health care plan in 1994, we have seen gradual adoption of elements of that proposal, including the S-CHIP program in 1997 and the new Medicare drug benefit. What remains of private medicine is being slowly strangled by the mandates and regulations that come with growing government health care spending. In fact, we're already nearly halfway to a completely centralized, government-funded medical system. Since Medicare was enacted in 1965, the federal and state portion of medical expenditures has risen from 24 percent to 45 percent.
ClintonCare Lives
A decade after Bill Clinton almost forced through his all-embracing health care plan, government-run medicine is once again becoming a respectable public policy idea. Last year a coalition called Physicians for a National Health Program launched a new campaign for universal single-payer health insurance. In the August 13, 2003, issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, the coalition proposed what "in essence would be an expanded and improved version of traditional Medicare," covering "every American for all necessary medical care," funded through a new tax on income. The proposal, which has been endorsed by 8,000 physicians, has been introduced in Congress as a bill that aims to establish "a new American national health insurance program by creating a single payer health care system."
Advocates of a single-payer system often cite the lower medical costs of the completely nationalized health care systems in Canada and Britain, which spend less than 9.6 percent and 7.7 percent of their GDPs on health care, respectively. Despite the lower spending, the average life expectancy at birth is 79.8 years in Canada and 78.2 years in Britain, higher than America's 77.1. What explains the differential? As University of Iowa health economist Robert Ohsfeldt notes in the fall 2003 issue of The Independent Review, if higher U.S. accident and homicide rates are taken into account, our life expectancy numbers match those of Britain. The difference is also partly due to a slightly higher infant mortality rate in the U.S.: 6.8 per 1,000 live births, compared to Canada's 4.9 and Britain's 5.3 rate per 1,000. (That seems largely related to racial disparities -- the white U.S. infant mortality rate in 2000 was 5.7 and the black infant mortality was 14.4.
Another factor is improvements in fetal medicine that have allowed infants who would otherwise have died before delivery to survive into the early newborn period. Canada too has racial disparities; the infant mortality rate for aboriginals is 8 per 1,000 live births -- nearly double that of the white population.)

Best-selling author Dr. Sharon M. Draper will share her experiences of teaching and writing with Williston High School students and faculty Monday, March 3. Dr. Draper is an accomplished writer, as well as a professional educator actively involved in the motivation and encouragement of cross-cultural experiences through reading.
Restaurants in Williston may soon be able to sell beer and wine, despite their locations, if an ordinance is approved at the March 4 council meeting.
Tuesday night, in a 4-1 vote with Council President Jason Cason dissenting, the council approved on the first reading an ordinance that allows for the on-site consumption of beer and wine in restaurants–places were 51 percent of revenue comes from food sales.
The Florida Legisture will consider naming a portion of Williston's Noble Avenue after Cpl. David Moss who died in the line of duty in 1988.
Williston Council unanimously approved a resolution Tuesday night, that if approved by the legislature this term, would designate the segment of Noble Avenue from Main Street to Hwy. 41 the David M. Moss Memorial Highway.
Students in Levy County District schools will be taking the Grade 4, Grade 8, or Grade 10 FCAT 2.0 Writing Test on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
The FCAT 2.0 Writing Test is administered in one 60-minute session in which students write an essay in response to a prompt. Later this spring, your student will receive a score for his/her writing on a scale from 1-6 score points.

After getting lost in the shuffle for a spell, it appears that an idea to construct a community recreation center in Bronson is once again on the table.
Town staff and officials started looking into the details of constructing such a facility last year, but the issue temporarily faded, taking a backseat to more pressing issues.
A single vehicle accident early Sunday morning left a Bronson woman dead and both of her passengers injured.
Barbara Sue Strickland, 36, was pronounced dead on the scene of the accident that occurred at 12:40 a.m. on CR 343.
The beehive, the French twist, the shag and the bouffant. Not only has Joyce Hurt seen them all–she's done them all.
But two weeks ago, Hurt traded her scissors and curling irons for retirement after 53 years of standing on her feet making people look beautiful.
Now instead of perm solution and hair color, she will be helping her artist husband pitch his talent at craft shows and fairs.
After reviewing more than 70 applications to replace out-going Coach Jamie Baker, the field was narrowed down to five.
Williston Principal Eulin Gibbs then went to work to get the best applicant suited for the Williston football program.
From the large pile of papers placed in front of Gibbs, one could only be convinced that he did a thorough job in researching each of the final applicants.
Some say it can be difficult maintaining balance in today's world, a place where perspectives on life have become ever more polarizing and where, more and more, ways of living have come into conflict with each other.
New commercial construction in Williston may soon have to comply with aesthetic standards if Ordinance 635 is passed on its second reading.

Obama Vows Resilience, Justice in Face of Boston Marathon Bombing
Obama praised Bostonians spirit in his remembrance for victims of the marathon bombing.
President Barack Obama is fine, his spokesman assured reporters Tuesday.
In a defiant and poignant speech during an interfaith service honoring the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, President Barack Obama delivered a love-letter to the city and promised justice for the perpetrators.
"We also come together today to reclaim that state of grace, to reaffirm that the spirit of this city is undaunted and the spirit of this country will remain undimmed," Obama said. "Every one of us has been touched by this attack on your beloved city. Every one of us stands with you. Because after all, it's our beloved city, too. Boston may be your hometown, but we claim it too."
[ALSO: Images Lead to Hunt in Boston Bombing]
Obama noted his claim on the city, having attended Harvard University across the Charles River in Cambridge and that it was at the Boston-hosted Democratic National Convention that he delivered a speech in 2004 as a state senator that catapulted him into the national spotlight.
"It's personal," he said of the bombings.
To the families of the three slain, Obama offered comfort and memories – but his most powerful comments came in speaking to the victims still recovering and to the city's residents.
[INTEL ANALYST: Boston Marathon Bombing 'Afghan-Style' Operation]
"As you begin this long journey of recovery, your city is with you, your commonwealth is with you, your country is with you, we will all be with you as you learn to stand and walk and yes run again, of that I have no doubt; you will run again," he said. "Your resolve is the greatest rebuke to whoever committed this heinous act. If they sought to intimidate us, to terrorize us, to shake us from those values that [Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick] described, the values that make us who we are as Americans, well it should be pretty clear by now that they picked the wrong city to do it. Not here in Boston."
Despite the memorial-type setting, Obama was clearly pointed and sharp in his comments, describing those responsible for the bombs that injured more than 170 people at the iconic race's finish line as "small, stunted individuals."
[PHOTOS: Carnage and Grief in Boston]
"Yes we will find you. Yes you will face justice. We will find you, we will hold you accountable, but more than that, our fidelity to our way of life, to our free and open society, will only grow stronger," he said. "For God has not given us the spirit of fear and timidity, but one of power and love and self-discipline."
And in a nod to the city's love of sport, Obama offered a vow that brought the crowd to its feet.
"When the Sox and Celtics and Patriots or Bruins are champions again to the chagrin of New York and Chicago fans, the crowds will gather and watch a parade go down Boylston Street and this time next year on the third Monday in April, the world will return to this great American city to run harder than ever and to cheer even louder for the 118th Boston Marathon," he said. "Bet on it."

Law enforcement officials said Wednesday they had made strides in identifying potential suspects but still have not made public any details about who was behind the Monday attack.

Biochemical profiling may be defined as the use of multiple blood chemistry determinations to assess the health status of
various organ systems simultaneously. Biochemical profiling rapidly has become a major diagnostic aid for the practicing veterinarian
for several reasons. First, a more educated clientele has come to expect increased diagnostic sophistication. Secondly, the
advent of high-volume clinical pathology laboratories has resulted in low prices that make profiling in veterinary practice
feasible and convenient. In addition, improved technology has resulted in the development of procedures that can be used to
obtain accurate analyses on microsamples of serum. Such procedures offer obvious advantages to veterinarians, who in the past
were hindered by requirements for large sample size.
Although biochemical profiling offers exciting potential, it is not a panacea. Since standard chemical screens provide 12
to 30 test results, interpretation of data may be extremely complex. Interpretation is often clouded by the fact that perfectly
normal animals may have, indeed, are expected to have, an occasional abnormal test result. It is estimated that in a panel
of 12 chemistry tests, approximately 46% of all normal subjects will have at least one abnormal test result. Such abnormalities
do not reflect inaccuracies in laboratory test procedures but rather the way in which reference (or normal) values are determined.
In order to establish the "normal range" for a given test, the procedure is performed on samples from a large population of
clinically normal individuals. A mean and a standard deviation are determined. The reference values are then defined as those
values falling within two standard deviations above and below the mean. Since two standard deviations above and below the
mean only include 95% of all determined values, 5% of the values obtained from a normal population are by this definition
It is important to realize that determination of reference values in the manner described above assumes a Gaussian or bell-shaped
distribution for measured values. Additional problems with the establishment of reference values can be expected if Gaussian
distributions are not present. In these instances, population distributions must be normalized to a bell-shaped distribution
before reference values are established.
ALT levels also will vary with the stage of the disease when the sample is collected. ALT has a circulatory half-life of two
to four days; therefore, a two-fold elevation in ALT due to acute liver necrosis may be expected to have returned to the normal
range within two days.
The clinician must also be aware that abnormalities in one organ system may cause abnormalities in chemistry test results
that are used primarily to indicate disease in a different organ system. For example, elevated serum amylase levels are used
primarily as indicators of pancreatic disease. However, amylase normally is excreted by the kidney as a part of glomerular
filtrate. Consequently, anything that reduces glomerular filtration may result in elevated serum amylase levels.
Hopefully, the preceding paragraphs have succeeded in illustrating some of the more important difficulties encountered in
the interpretation of clinical chemistry data. It is apparent that a single test should never be used to assess the total
health status of an organ. It is equally apparent that one must understand the factors affecting a given test result, such
as the causes of elevations, circulating half-lives, and routes of excretion. Then too, interactions between different organ
systems and their effects upon test results must be considered. In the final analysis, it is apparent that only through systematic
assessment of chemistry data can misinterpretation and confusion be avoided. A final point to consider is that chemistry profiling
should not be undertaken without simultaneous evaluation of a complete blood count (CBC) and urinalysis.
Urinary system introduction
The kidney, like the liver, performs a variety of functions of major importance to the maintenance of normal homeostasis.
It is involved in the excretion of wastes and the regulation of acid-base balance, electrolyte balance, and state of hydration.
The performance of these functions depends upon both normal glomerular filtration and normal renal tubular integrity. The
primary renal panel assesses both. It is important to note that urinalysis, although not a part of our large chemistry profile,
is an essential part of the primary renal panel. The secondary renal panel is primarily designed to evaluate changes that
may occur secondary to renal disease.
