Column by TOM BONE
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
"Checking your potential" was the sermon title at my church on Sunday morning. I didn't have to look further than the obituary section of Sunday's Bluefield Daily Telegraph for an example of someone who lived up to his.
Word spread fast across Mercer County at week's end of the death of Everette K. Bailey Jr. of Princeton at the age of 65.
I could easily fill up this column re-hashing the many worthwhile endeavors that Bailey performed for his city, his county and his state, but it's worth noting a few items again for the benefit of readers of the sports pages.
He established the boys soccer program at Princeton Senior High and coached the team for 15 years. He will be remembered as "the voice of the Tigers," for decades manning the public address microphone for PSHS girls and boys basketball games.
He and his wife of 43 years, Carol, received the Distin-guished Service Award from the West Virginia Athletic Directors Association.
He was one of those who helped the Greater Princeton Little League get established on its fields in Gardner. He also was active in the Princeton City Football League and the Mercer County Soccer League.
More often than not, when I visited the State Fair of West Virginia, Everette and Carol Bailey would greet me with big smiles at the 4-H exhibit building. For many years, they volunteered to work at the exhibit hall.
A 4-H All-Star, he was a camp counselor at the county camps at Glenwood and at the state level at Jackson's Mill. For more than 40 years he was a volunteer leader of Mercer County 4-H clubs.
I also often observed that he got maximum effort from his Princeton Tigers soccer team, not by yelling at them or threatening them, but by working patiently with them and building bonds. The boys' response was to work hard, so as not to let their coach down.
After soccer matches, he wasn't like many coaches, giving slick and self-serving answers about the outcome of the game.
To tell the truth, he didn't enjoy having his comments recorded for all to see. He always seemed concerned that his answers could be misinterpreted in a negative way.
But he knew it was part of the job and he graciously agreed to interviews, even after a tough loss and even when it involved reporters who were not that knowledgeable about soccer strategy.
He loved the game, and he loved the students even more. He didn't want anything to spoil that.
It has been my pleasure in 13-plus years to interview gentlemen like Bailey, and the late Sam White, John Flournoy, Morgan Campbell and Glynn Carlock Sr. (Gee, I know I'm leaving people out.)
On Sunday afternoon, I plied back and forth through a crowded parking lot at Memorial Funeral Directory and finally found a parking space with the hope that I could meet briefly with Bailey's family. The line to do that included literally hundreds of people.
Current and former coaches were there, along with school personnel, 4-H alumni, and folks who worked with Bailey at the state Department of Highways during his 33-year career there. Now-retired Princeton Times sports writer Ed Robinson traveled hundreds of miles to be there.
A younger group was also in evidence. It is likely that the many faces were those of current Princeton students, former Tiger soccer players and basketball players, those who the Baileys had touched through Project Graduation at PSHS, and many, many more.
It was a remarkably diverse outpouring of support from people who cared. I hope it helped console his family.
The list of Bailey's community service activities is long. The legacy he leaves will be much longer. It's impossible to come up with a good estimate of how many thousands of young people are better human beings because of him and the activities he helped foster.
The world would be better off with more Everette Baileys.

text: This coupler is designed for use with large decorating tips and includes one coupler screw base and two screw on coupler caps. This large coupler is compatible with large decorating tips and is designed to be used with 14" and larger pastry/decorating bags. Couplers make it easy to change pastry/decorating tips on the same icing bag. This saves you time and energy because you can pipe as many different designs as you have tips, without having to set up a whole new pastry bag for each tip you want to use.Simply slip the largest piece of the coupler into the pastry bag so that the small end of the coupler opening is pointing down into the opening of the pastry bag. Next select the tip that you want to use and place it over the coupler on the outside of the pastry bag. Next screw on the coupler cap over the outside of the pastry bag and over the decorating tip so that it holds the tip in place. Fill your pastry bag with frosting and you are ready to decorate! When you want to change tips just unscrew the coupler cap to remove the tip you are using, place on a new tip and screw the coupler cap back on.

So with Valentine's Day nearly here, you've got it all figured out, right guys?
You've chosen the perfect gift that's you're sure is going to seal your spot in the boyfriend/husband Hall of Fame forever. Sure, there might be a couple Valentine's Day hiccups in your past, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and all that stuff, yeah?
But wait. What if you haven't learned?
How can you be sure your present will be met with adulation rather than an abhorrence that will send you straight to the couch for the night?
Before you give the woman of your dreams something along the lines of athletic socks or tickets to your favorite team's upcoming big game, stop, think it through and make sure your gift isn't one of the following worst Valentine's Day gifts ever ...
No. 5: Lingerie
Really, getting most any article of clothing for your significant other's Valentine's gift is a decision fraught with peril.
God help you if you choose the wrong size -- in either direction -- or choose something so hideous that even Snooki would have second thoughts about wearing it.
You might think you're making a grand romantic gesture, but, face it, it's more or less a gift for yourself. A good, thoughtful gift is supposed to be for her enjoyment, as much as if not more than yours, so no, that silky swatch of fabric from Frederick's of Hollywood that requires instructions for putting on just ain't going to cut it -- not this, or any, year.
If your Valentine is into lingerie, you're better off buying a gift certificate so she can go and spoil herself on your dime and get exactly what she wants. That way you'll both be happy.
No. 4: Anything that's really for yourself
Granted, that new Xbox game is beyond cool. With tons of action and eye-popping graphics, you can already see yourself slaying zombies and demons in your living room.
But unless your wife or girlfriend is a serious gamer, you better get out of electronics and hightail it to the jewelry counter.
That also goes for those new power tools, that sweet grill and that awesome framed "Cool Hand Luke" movie poster that you've had your eye on.
Any of those would prove a great Valentine's Day gift if your significant other is a female version of Bob Vila -- hopefully without the beard -- can't get enough of barbecuing or would have left you in a heartbeat for Paul Newman.
But if not, don't be that guy. Pretending that a gift you've gotten for yourself is really a romantic gesture doesn't sit well on any holiday, but it's a particularly bad Valentine's Day move.
No. 3: 'Helpful' gifts

Meghan Casserly, Forbes Staff
Entrepreneurship. By women, of women, for women.
Mayim Bialik isn't just a neuroscientist; she also plays one on TV. The 37-year old star of the CBS hit The Big Bang Theory got her start as the zany teenage lead on "Blossom," but took years off of Hollywood in the early aughts to pursue first her bachelor's degree and then her Ph.D. in neuroscience, and has recently teamed up with DeVry University and the HerWorld Initiative to get high school girls excited about STEM.
Which is great news for the sciences. Despite the fact that jobs experts predict growth in employment opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math will grow more than 7% faster than any other sector over the next five years, the number of women pursuing STEM education and career paths. A recent count estimated that women hold just 25% of all jobs in these promising fields, putting the sex at an extreme disadvantage as employment in the U.S. continues to grow more technical every year.
The root of the problem is often debated in gender-conscious circles, but it commonly ends in a chicken-or-egg sort of quandary. Are little girls not interested in math or science because it's for boys? And if so, where do they get those ideas but from their parents and teachers? Can you attract girls and women to a field that's so male dominated if not through initiatives that soften the sciences or, worse, pander to women?
Through the HerWorld partnership, which has in the past enlisted another young actress, Danica McKellar, who played Winnie on "The Wonder Years" before pursuing higher education in mathematics, Bialik aims to bring as many real-world role models in science to high schools across the country in hopes that by revealing the depth and breadth of STEM careers, they can recruit more young women to the cause.
This week I got the chance to talk with the actress, educator and mother of two to talk about the STEM gender gap—and her (highly) educated guess as to what can be done.
MC: Why are you so passionate about girls and STEM?
Bialik: It's really neat that I get to play a neuroscientist on TV, but I think every student is inspired by something different. That's why it's important for us as teachers–and people in the position to mentor–to be able to provide girls with as many realistic science situations as possible. To show them that not everyone starts as a scientist but you can still be interested in it later in life. Or how some people want to work in the laboratory and other people want to work in the field—you know to really show the depth of the science experience both personally and professionally.
So as far as my own passion, it's nice to play a scientist on TV and that, I suppose, makes me a role model. But I also think it's wonderful to be able to use that platform to be able to influence—hopefully positively—young girls and to show that science is cool.
MC: So who was your role model?
Bialik: I arrived late to science, actually. it wasn't something I had a natural affinity for, and I really thought it was for boys. Both of my parents were English teachers and [science] just never came easily to me.
But when I was about 15 years old, and at that time I was on Blossom, I had a tutor who was the first female role model I ever had who showed me that someone could be as passionate about biology as I thought you could only be about art or poetry. She was young and hip and made the sciences come alive, and it was she that inspired me and really gave me the confidence and the skill-set to go on to a bachelors degree and eventually a Ph.D. in neuroscience.
MC: Would you say lack of role models is the biggest hurdle for girls and the STEM career path?
Bialik: I think part of it is the stereotype that science is for boys and part of it is what the HerWorld initiative is trying to address. That there's this need to show real women doing real careers in STEM.
But I also think that there's still a stereotype of the lone scientist in the laboratory and that can tend not to sound very exciting or creative to a lot of young people–male or female. I think the point of HerWorld is to expose girls to possibilities in different career paths, to have discussions and to let girls see women and to hear why they made the choices they did, what inspires them and what their lives look like. I think something that's really missing.
Of course showing fun, high-profile role models also does make it kind of fun. I know we wish that if we presented the nitty-gritty of the universe, then everyone would fall in love with science. But sometimes it takes something a little flashy to grab that attention.
MC: So given that sense of flashiness, what do you make of the "pinkification" of math science or engineering toys that are "for girls"? Part of the problem or a part of the solution?
Bialik: Well that's a much larger question. There's nothing biologically preferential about the color pink, so the fact that pink is a marketing tool for women or that girls will only buy pink is just unfounded. I have two sons, so don't ask me, but from my knowledge of the neurosciences, there's nothing about say, dressing something up, that should make it in theory more powerful [to girls].
That said, we live in a culture that is really inundated with media and the presentation of information by the media, and that does play out in advertising tactics.
There's actually a really neat product that I just got shipped called GoldieBlox. I think it's a great example of making something—and I don't want to say just attractive to females—but comparable to females. Because it is a competitive advertising market so I think that's important to address. But she's not watering down the fact at all that this is a tool that engages your brain to think like an engineer. And I think that's a great example.
I was really inspired by her and actually ordered a couple sets to give as gifts to friends who have daughters. It's fine to make things in pink if it engages girls, but even my seven year old will ask me why can't girls just play with the regular Legos?
Stereotypes, stereotypes, stereotypes – they are one of our biggest obstacles to getting young women into the STEM fields. Sadly, I feel like we still have a preoccupation with being "sexy" or "feminine" and we've somehow put it into young women's heads that STEM women aren't either of those. It's not reality, but it's something that can scare young women away. Also, our view of STEM jobs is terribly myopic as Mayim points out – I've been in science for 10+ years and once I was out of grad school, I didn't set foot in another laboratory. I am thankful everyday that I pursued a STEM career!
what Larry explained I didnt even know that a stay at home mom able to make $9939 in 1 month on the computer. did you read this site
>>>>>>>>> JUMP30 ℂℴℳ
It was not clear to me from the article if Ms. Bialik has done in any work as a neuroscientist since completing her PhD, but if she has not, then my question for her is, why not? If STEM careers are so great, why pursue acting and being a spokeswoman instead of the actual neuroscience work?
My professional background is in mechanical engineering, so this issue is one close to my heart. Learning engineering and math are the easy part of the career. The hard part is succeeding in companies and industries where there are few female leaders. How I perceived the culture as an entry-level engineer is much different than how I see it now after a decade and a half in the field. Attend a conference where the CEO of an energy company is assumed by other male exec attendees to be an intern or marketing coordinator due to her age and gender, and see how many warm fuzzy feelings you have about a career in STEM. No one wants to be marginalized.
I agree with you.
I just love this interview, just shared it with many of my daughters' friends too. Your questions and comments are so thought provoking. Thinking further about this, Bialik raises the bar to another level as Big Bang Theory could be the coolest thing to happen to STEM ever.
I am not sure if all the STEM program are good for the woman. I was encouraged by my dad to be a Civil Engineer rather I did not have any other option than to be a Civil Engineer. I liked it when I went to college but the reality hit me when I got a job and started working in the fields. I had to be in the field starting from sunrise to sunset. I work in South Dakota where the winters are brutal and the summers are not friendly either. I was driving to the unknown locations for my field work sometimes fields that are 3-4 hours away. The construction workers are male and there are many times I have been concerned about my safety. The office vehicles are junk and they break any time on the road. If only someone would have told me what I was signing up for as a Civil Engineer I would have never studied it. My point is rather than encouraging the girls to do it let her know the pros and cons about it in the real world and if she is still ready then encourage her. Just don't show the good sides. These fields are male dominated for a reason. I quit my job and I have promised never to return to Civil Engineering again. It SUCKS and I am sorry I have realized I still need to grow a penis to be safe in this society.

Bailout Bill Passes!
Wall Street's scariest week ends on a high note.
Late Friday, the House voted 263-171 to pass the $700 billion bailout for the financial sector by a comfortable margin, just days after rejecting an earlier bill, capping one of the most unsettling weeks in Wall Street history. Reports from Congress had markets guessing up to the final minutes before the vote.
What changed:
Congress got an earful. Swooning markets and angry constituents lined up to back an imperfect plan imperfectly, if earnestly, offered up by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. From the NYTimes:
Many lawmakers who changed sides, said they had agonized over the decision amid a torrent of calls and e-mail messages from constituents, and several cited a provision added by the Senate increasing the amount of savings insured by the federal government to $250,000 per account from $100,000.
That FDIC insurance increase, remember, makes the bailout a little bigger. It's a sort of bailout too, only this time the biggest beneficiaries will be smaller banks who hold more deposits rather than mortgage-stuffed investment banks.
Which brings us to the other reason the wheels were greased for a different outcome this time:
Pork. Legislators who originally blocked the bill argued that $700 billion was an absurd amount, picked somewhat arbitrarily by the Treasury, and too incomprehensible to vote for willy-nilly. Then they added on anther $150.5 billion in tax breaks and other extras, and somehow the number seemed just about right.
A failure to pass the bill would have been devastating for markets. The first failure Monday sent the Dow down 777 points for its single biggest drop since the 1987 crash.
What ' s next: Now, we move to a less dramatic but equally important phase of sorting out the credit crisis. Treasury gets to buy up $700 billion in bad assets held by investment banks and put a value on them. The biggest unanswered question is exactly what that will be. If the price it sets is deemed too low, more banks will swoon. If Treasury overpays, the bailout really does become a gift to fat-cat banking executives bought with taxpayer money. Expect blame to fly in both directions as the plan unfolds.
Best of luck.

Matthew Mounts' boss describes him as high-energy and extremely kid-orientated.
"He's a real renaissance type of teacher," said Brian Wharton, principal at Yelm High School. "One moment he's in the woods with the kids working on sustainable habitat and the next he's working in a science lab. He's confident and comfortable moving in and out of classroom environments."
Mounts, in his 14th year of teaching — all at Yelm High — recently was named Community Service Teacher of the Year by the Washington Association for Career and Technical Education.
The Olympian caught up with Mounts, 36, who lives in the Yelm area, and talked about the award, his life and his teaching career. The following are excerpts from the conversation:
Q: Where did you go to school?
A: I graduated from Tumwater High School in 1995. I went to Centralia College and transferred to Washington State University and graduated in 2000. My degree is in agriculture and natural resources with a teaching endorsement.
Q: How did you get into teaching agriculture?
A: I've always had a passion for agriculture and working outdoors and in the natural resources field. And I've always been a people person. When I started connecting the lines in all of those things, I felt teaching was a good avenue.
Q: For people who aren't familiar with the National FFA Organization — which used to be called Future Farmers of America — how would you describe it?
A: Nowadays, really, it's more of a youth leadership organization that just uses agriculture as its avenue. Most of our kids are in it for the leadership opportunities it provides for them.
Q: Were you in FFA in high school?
A: I was not — they didn't offer that program. But it was something I would have totally been into.
Q: Tell us about your family.
A: My wife's name is Andi. We have two children. Our son, Brody, is 5, and our daughter, Bailey, is 3.
Q: What are your hobbies?
A: I would say there are three things I do: I have about 40 head of cattle at home, and if I'm not doing something for them, I'm either hunting or fishing, and on Sundays I can't miss the Seahawks.
Q: What classes do you teach?
A: I teach aqua science, which is biology with an aquatic twist. I also teach sustainable habitats, which used to be forestry and wildlife; small engines; and green technology.
Q: What do you enjoy about teaching?
A: Just working with the kids. They're at such an impressionable age, and they have a desire to achieve. They want to do well, and it's amazing the level they can reach or achieve when you motivate them to do their best. It's a challenge and fun at the same time.
Q: What kind of student were you in school?
A: I would say when I was in school I was definitely the student who needed hands-on activities. My mouth probably got me in trouble a time or two because I could never shut up. I was the type of student who learned by doing. (Chuckles.)
Q: The award you received is about community service. What are some of the projects you've worked on?
A: Some of the things I've been most proud of have been a team effort between me and Dusti Nash, another FFA adviser here.
We had a safe driving campaign that was recognized by State Farm. … The thing that we were really proud of with that is, we motivated the students, and the students took off and made it their own and pushed us. We worked really hard on it, but it was totally student-driven.
Around Easter, we put on a 5K run called "Hop for Hunger" to get food for the food bank.
We also started a community garden at the school. It has 12 raised beds, and our ultimate goal is to provide more fresh produce to the food banks we have in Yelm.
So far this year, we're close to 1,000 pounds produced out of it.
With that project, we started a campaign called Plant an Extra Row. We gave seeds to community members and encouraged them to grow them and donate it back. We're almost at 1,000 pounds from the community. We're almost at one ton for the year.
Q: Tell us about the award.
A: The goal of it was to recognize an outstanding teacher of the state who puts a lot of effort into the community. It was a plaque, and it was awarded at the state conference in Yakima in August.
Q: What was your reaction when you learned you won?
A: I was pretty excited. … It's too bad I can't cut that plaque up into a thousand tiny pieces and hand them to all of the students and community members who helped in those service projects.
Q: If you hadn't gone into teaching, where do you think you would have landed?
A: There are so many things I would love to do. I could honestly see myself running a large-scale cattle operation. What's funny, too, I could see myself doing so many things. I could see myself working in the fish and wildlife field in a heartbeat.
Q: Is there anything else you would like to add?
A: This has been such a great community to work in, and I've had some very, very supportive administrators during my career that allow us to do so many activities in and outside the community. Without that support, these kids wouldn't have the opportunities to build that success for when they're older.Lisa Pemberton: 360-754-5433 email@example.com

Today, the Pistons still fly Roundball One, but it's a replacement of the original airliner that carried the Bad Boys. (Detroit News file)
This is the sixth in a series of stories leading to the reunion of the Pistons Bad Boys team March 28 at The Palace.
One of the heroes of the first Pistons title wasn�t a player, coach or general manager.
It was Roundball One, the team�s private plane.
Pistons owner Bill Davidson bought the 18-year-old British Aerospace Company-111 from former Mavericks owner Donald Carter for $2 million and renovated it to accommodate 24 large players.
Roundball One gave the Pistons the advantage of leaving for a new destination immediately after the conclusion of their games. The rest of the league? It flew commercial (today every NBA team either has its own plane or charters flights).
In the first season the Pistons used the plane, they went 26-11 (0-4 when it was under repair).
It was a prime example of the competitive nature of Davidson. He looked for any edge he could.

This is one of those rare weeks when several major music acts at larger performing spaces don't dominate the entertainment choices. It's a great time to visit one of the smaller venues that sometimes tend to be overlooked.
Every night over the next seven days, something fascinating will be going on in a place you may have never been.
Music on the side streets
o Thursday night, Randy Houser will play Vapor Night Club at Saratoga Casino & Raceway in Saratoga Springs. If you don't know the name, you will soon enough. Houser is the hottest country act today, and the prediction is he'll soon gain superstar status.
Not surprisingly, the show has sold out.
o Friday night, another Saratoga hot spot will feature a special talent. Robert DeLong will perform electronic music at Putnam Den. Though much of the sound is looped, it is rich with melody and his lyrics are emotional and heartwarming. And it is the kind of music that will have you dancing.
The show starts at 9 p.m., doors open at 8. Putnam Den is located at 63A Putnam St., Saratoga Springs. Call (518) 584-8066.
o There's nothing electronic about the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and their New Orleans-style jazz. The group has prospered for 35 years because they honor their musical traditions without being restrained by them.
If you want to party, be at the Massry Center on the campus of Saint Rose College at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. For information, call (518) 337-4871.
Toll is worth it
Sunday, comic and social philosopher Dirck Toll will offer an afternoon of laughs at Caff� Lena at 47 Phila St. in Saratoga Springs. Toll's one-hour show, "Levelling Charges," is an ode to environmental awareness. He will use only natural lighting for the show and perform without amplification. The set is made of salvaged and reused material, and he'll be clothed in garments purchased at second-hand stores.
The only thing not recycled is his humor, which will feature five stories that combine elements of theater, literature, performance art and comedy.
The show starts at 2 p.m. Call (518) 583-0022 for more information.
From ice rink to Passion Pit
Not every act in town this week is unknown.
Passion Pit, who'll play the RPI Fieldhouse in Troy Monday night, is one of the hottest bands in the nation (see story on Page 3). Another very popular group, Matt & Kim, will open the show.
Tuesday will bring more electronic sounds. Or, in the case of Big Gigantic, who'll play Upstate Concert Hall, the proper term is Livetronica, a blending of live music and electronica.
Call it what you may, Big Gigantic is a high-energy group that brings its own unique style to hip-hop jazz.
The show starts at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at Upstate Concert Hall, 1208 Route 146 in Clifton Park. For information, call (518) 371-0010.
Cracking The Egg
Closing out the seven-day entertainment festival Wednesday is Josh Ritter, one of the best singer-songwriters practicing today. He'll appear at The Egg in Albany with his group, the Royal City Band, with The Dunwells opening.
The show starts at 7:30 p.m. For more information, call (518) 473-1845.
Other options
Sometimes it's all about making smart lifestyle decisions. This is one of those weekends.
You can go to the Great Northeast Home Show in Albany or the Capital District Wine Festival at Proctors. Or, maybe you can waffle and do both.
The home show runs from 3 to 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Times Union Center and Empire State Plaza. The wine festival's opening reception and four-course Italian dinner at Proctors in Schenectady gets going at 6 p.m. Friday; the Grand Tasting is from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday.

Sussex reservoir levels 'in healthy position'
9:10am Saturday 10th November 2012 in News
The county's water levels are in a "healthy position" according to a water company.
Southern Water has announced that its reservoirs and aquifers are currently above average levels thanks to very wet weather throughout the summer.
The water company said that as long as an average amount of rain falls this autumn and winter then water resources should remain healthy going into the spring and summer of next year.
The news comes a month into the recharge season when water sources are refilled following the usually drier summer months.
Weir Wood reservoir near East Grinstead is currently at its 5,600 megalitre capacity while Powdermill near Sedlescombe is at 98% of its 1,060 megalitre capacity.
Bewl Water on the Kent and Sussex border is 80% full of its 31,000 megalitre capacity while Darwell near Robertsbridge is at just over half its 4,730 mega-litre capacity.
Meyrick Gough, Southern Water's water quality and strategy manager, said: "Our reservoirs are in a much better position than this time last year and most of our underground sources are at normal levels."
Anyone who spots a leak should call the firm's 24-hour freephone leakline on 0800 820999.

ShorehamBeachcomber wrote:So we have to have enourmous amounts of rainfall to fill our reserves.
With two reservoirs at their capacity they should be extending them as they were clearly too small to cope last summer & Sothern Water are simply letting any excess outrageously go to waste. Remember next time they want a ban to ask how they have extended capacity since now as its clear they can store far more in the 'good times'
Exactly how much rainfall do our Water Supply companies need to provide us with sufficient.
What plans do they have to increase the capacity of water storage.
What we need is a massive reservoir somwhere north of brighton. This could be used for sports and recreation as well.
Lets see is they can come up with a solution.

Hospitals Fight MedPAC Plan to Reduce Outpatient Rates
The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission seems intent on issuing a recommendation that would reduce federal payments to hospital-based outpatient departments by nearly $1 billion a year for some 66 procedures. The reason: Those services are now provided in a physician's office for less cost.
But hospital representatives say the controversial "site-neutral payment plan," would be a disaster for hospitals and patient access alike because hospitals depend on those extra funds to cover the uninsured, meet regulatory requirements, and be constantly equipped for emergencies.
MedPAC advises the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on policies the agency puts forth in new payment rules each year. Several options for the plan were outlined in a regular MedPAC meeting Thursday.
Under one MedPAC plan, Medicare might pay hospitals the same rate it now pays for the service in a physician's office, or it may narrow the gap between the two, paying the physician's office more and the outpatient physician's office less. Several options are on the table, but under all scenarios, federal payments to hospitals would drop dramatically.
"From our perspective, we hope they don't make any of these [changes] because hospitals have a higher cost structure than these other settings," says Roslyn Shulman, the American Hospital Association's director of policy.
"Hospitals have a safety net function where they care for all patients who seek emergency care regardless of their ability to pay, and hospitals provide about $39 billion in uncompensated care annually. They provide 24/7 access to care, have disaster response and readiness, they have a much heavier regulatory burden, and these are costs that ambulatory surgical centers and physician's offices don't have."
During the Thursday meeting, Joanna Kim, also of the AHA, addressed MedPAC chairman Glenn Hackbarth:
"The commission has already recommended cuts to a number of services of about $1 billion dollars as far as the cut to the hospitals, and today we discussed another $1.5 billion in cuts that, as you said, would reduce outpatient revenue by about 5.4%, and that's to a system that already has a negative margin of 11%," she said, according to the transcript of the meeting.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Bunk! As a 'convincer' to private physicians thinking of selling their practices, many hospitals have been out there bragging to them on how much more cash they can generate by billing the identical E&M codes, in the identical buildings, with the identical staff, to the identical patients by billing M&M as 'outpatients of hospitals' rather than as standard physician offices. Hospitals across the land HAD to know there would be a day of settlement....

Macgasm notes that as MobileMe prepares to sunset this summer, Apple is dangling a carrot to migrate people to iCloud. Active MobileMe subscribers can request a free copy of Snow Leopard using an online form. Apple is retailing a copy of Snow Leopard for $29. A nice move considering subscribers paid $99 for a service that has been largely obsoleted by the free iCloud. Procrastination, it seems, does have some benefits.
Once installed, users will need to fire up the Mac App Store and buy a copy of OS X Lion, which is required for iCloud.

Tres Elegant Knit Tank Travel Dress 61 62
Too warm for summer I hoped to use this dress for casual summer events, but the fabric is heavy and the L size, which is often perfect for me, was too clingy in the mid-section, showing more bulges than I like. I think women who are very tall would look better in this style. Also I think a long slit up the side is unnecessary because the fabric is very stretchy. I sent it back and decided I just can't find a well fitting dress for my body shape at Travelsmith. July 21, 2014
versatile dress I've worn this with and without shirts and love it both ways. It packs very well. July 17, 2014
Very versatile! This dress is so versatile! It looks great alone or with a little jacket or sweater. Put a v-neck top over it and it becomes a skirt and camisole. Beautiful drape and very comfortable! I am taking it on a trip to New York this summer, but have already worn it at home! It camouflages my figure flaws and makes me feel attractive despite the fact that I am packing around 25 extra pounds right now. I am 5'4", weigh 150ish, and bought a Medium Petite. July 7, 2014
Go-To Dress This dress is exactly what I've been searching for -- dress it up, dress it down, wear alone or with a jacket or even a shirt over it - a real go-to dress for any occasion. The fabric cannot be wrinkled - I think you could wad it up and throw it in a suitcase and it would still be wrinkle-free. The length is perfect for me - below the knee but to the floor like so many dresses these days that I personally don't care for on a 5'4" frame! I paired it with the mesh applique jacket and got SO MANY compliments. Definitely will be taking this dress on my travels - but so far it has been put to good use right here at home. May 14, 2014
Very good for travel This is great for travel.....no wrinkles to worry about May 7, 2014
LOVE IT This is a dress that I'll have for a long time. It can be paired with various jackets (which I did) to change the look. My last purchases from Travel Smith are still being worn (from year 2000). April 28, 2014
Mighty Mainstay This is my second black dress like this only because I want to be sure one is available while one is in the wash. I love the easy care and quality of this dress. It's my go to dress. I don't have to worry about ironing it before work. You can wear it all year round with jackets, shawls or shrugs. It washes well and comes out of the dryer wonderfully. The color doesn't fade after many uses. Most of my dresses come from Travel Smith because of the ease of care and the comfort. April 15, 2014
Great travel dress for plus women! The drape on this dress is fabulous. Yes, it's a stretchy knit, so yes, it snugs your body, flaws and all. But the black color makes the best of a bad thing, and the exquisite drape makes you look, well, elegant. My husband criticizes me for ever $10 purchase, but he saw me in this, said it didn't matter how much it cost, and forbid me to send it back! I hate how many pounds I've put on and rarely find anything that makes me feel good anymore, but this dress does. A great win from TravelSmith! And yes, it accessorizes so easily that you can wear it day after day without looking the same way twice. (Strongly recommend the black and white lacy short gauze jacket over it -- wow!!!)

RIVERTON, Kan. —
Galena's secret to success wasn't complicated.
Really, it wasn't a secret at all. The Bulldogs were going to run the football, and they were going to keep running it until they were stopped.
They never were.
Galena's three-headed monster of Trenton Little, Logan Johnson and Jacob Helton each rushed for more than 100 yards as the Bulldogs beat Riverton 42-12 Friday night to advance to the Class 3A playoffs.
Since St. Mary's-Colgan (6-3) beat Southeast 40-24 in the district's other game, Galena (6-3) will enter the playoffs as a runner-up. The Bulldogs will travel to face Caney Valley (7-1) on Tuesday. Colgan will be at home against Neodesha (7-2).
The Bulldogs' ability to run the football against Riverton is a big reason they are in the playoffs.
"It's something we had to get back to," Galena coach Beau Sawrinski said. " We had to get back to what we do, which is physical football. I just really felt like Trenton Little did a great job tonight. He ran the ball hard downhill like we've asked him to do. Logan Johnson and J.J. Helton also did an exceptional job. But the group I'm really proud of is our offensive line ... They all did a great job. It was a total team effort."
Galena mixed up the running game all night, using Little inside and Johnson and Helton on the outside. Little ran for 167 yards and two touchdowns, while Johnson had 138 yards and two rushing touchdowns and Helton compiled 104 yards and a touchdown.
The Bulldogs didn't punt all night. The only times they had the ball and didn't score were on two fumbles and when the clock ran out on the first half.
"Our line did a fantastic job," Little said. "All five of them and our tight end Casey (Krei) were great. Everybody did their part."
Galena's running game seemed to get better as the game went on. Little rushed for 101 yards in the second half alone.
"We tried a couple of different things trying to find the right solution to stop the run, but we just weren't able to do that tonight," Riverton coach Derrick Rider said.
Galena led 14-6 midway through the second quarter and had a chance to go up two scores with a first-and goal from the 2. However, the ball was fumbled on the exchange from quarterback Kyler Cook to Little and Riverton's Jake Neal recovered.
The Rams responded by taking the ball from their own 5-yard-line and driving for more than 6 minutes down to Galena's 8. But Riverton senior Greyson Spriggs was stopped short on a fourth-and-3. So instead of a potential tie game at halftime, the momentum went back to the Bulldogs.
"It was huge," Sawrinski said of the stop. "We really felt like we had the momentum. Then we had some adversity, but I credit our defense for battling back. I credit our kids for handling the adversity."
The Bulldogs have now won two games in a row after dropping three straight.
"There's no quit in these guys," Sawrinski said. "We've tried to sell that to the kids over the years that they have a chance to win and a chance to be successful if they trust each other and believing in each other. I'm real proud of their efforts tonight."
Riverton ended its season with a 5-4 record.

Poultry leaders Tyson, Cal-Maine diverge after quarterly reports
Shares of two leaders in the poultry industry, Tyson Foods (TSN) and Cal-Maine Foods (CALM), are moving in opposite directions following their respective quarterly reports. Tyson, a food production company specializing in chicken and other proteins, were up after the company reported better than expected third quarter revenues, while shares of egg provider Cal-Maine are cracking after the company said it was "cautiously optimistic" about having a good start to full-year 2015. TYSON: Tyson Foods' adjusted Q3 earnings per share was 75c, which fell below analysts' consensus of 78c. The food provider's Q3 revenue was $9.68B, which exceeded analysts' consensus of 9.47B. In terms of guidance, Tyson guided fiscal year 2014 revenue to grow to $38B, compared to analysts' estimates of $36.85B. Tyson expects FY15 EPS growth of at least 10%. Analysts are expecting the company's FY15 EPS to be $3.16. The company sees FY15 revenue of $42B, above the analysts' consensus of $38.75B. Tyson Foods said that it expects fiscal year 2015 domestic protein production to increase 1% and also expects grain supplies to increase during the fiscal year, which should result in lower input costs as well as decreased costs for cattle and hog producers. U.S. chicken production is expected to increase around 2% in FY15 compared to FY14. The company expects lower feed costs for chicken in FY15 and said the Chicken segment's operating margin should be at or above 10% in FY15. Tyson also announced that has reached a definitive agreement with to sell its poultry businesses in Mexico and Brazil to Pilgrim's Pride (PPC), whose majority owner is a wholly owned subsidiary of JBS SA (JBSAY). On its earnings conference call, Tyson backed its FY14 EPS view of "at least" $2.78, versus analysts' estimates of $2.91, and called 2015 earnings guidance "conservative." The company said the Hillshire Brands (HSH) acquisition is on-track to close in Q4 and sees synergies reaching $225M in 2015. CAL-MAINE: Meanwhile, Cal-Maine reported fourth quarter EPS of $1.30, which surpassed the consensus forecast of $1.15 from the two analysts covering the stock, according to First Call. The company's Q4 revenue was $371.6M, which was over $46M higher than the revenue it reported a year ago in the same period. Cal-Maine reported that it produced 195.63M total dozen eggs in Q4 and sold 249.44M total dozen eggs in the quarter. The company said its results reflect strong demand for shell eggs throughout the year from all the major market segments including retail, egg product and exports. Looking ahead to its FY15, Cal-Maine said that it is "cautiously optimistic" about a good start to the upcoming year. The company said current USDA projections for harvested acres and yields for both crops should be favorable for end users and help reduce feed costs in FY15.

PRICE ACTION: Near midday, shares of Tyson Foods rose $1.70, or 4.3%, to $41.24 and CalMaine foods fell $4.70. or 6%, to $74.59.

My mom's almond biscotti are satisfyingly firm rather than jaw-breakingly hard and are chock-full of toasted whole almonds and laced with fragrant orange zest. They are ideal for dunking in a mug of hot coffee. This recipe calls for 3 jumbo-sized eggs. If you can't find them, then use 4 large eggs.
Makes about 36 biscotti (3/4-inch-wide cookies)
3 cups unsalted whole almonds
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

The tiny Persian Gulf nation of Qatar is often overshadowed by its neighbors. But the country is gaining its own reputation -- as a player in the art world.
Qatar is on an ambitious construction schedule to build some half-dozen museums by 2016. The newest of these is the Mathaf, the Arab Museum of Modern Art. And unlike the Guggenheim in Dubai or the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, the Mathaf is not a branch of a Western museum.

Cellar/Tasting Notes A terrific mid-range Bordeaux.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Cuvee Prestige, the 2006 Haut-Condissas (60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot from the vineyard's finest parcels), possesses a more saturated color as well as additional structure, body, and intense fruit. The finish is heady and long. This offering should drink nicely for 12-15 years...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is one of the finest wines I have tasted from this highly regarded terroir that has rarely been exploited to its maximum potential. Loads of chalk dust intertwined with sweet kirsch, black currants, licorice and camphor jump from the glass of this full-bodied wine, which has terrific fruit..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a medium finish. Slightly hollow center palate.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Owned and managed since the 1920s by the Borie family of Ducru Beaucaillou, Haut-Batailley is often overlooked in the midst of its more famous neighbors. The wines are made with the same care as other Borie properties (Grand-Puy Lacoste and Ducru, e.g.). Typically medium-bodied, Haut-Batailley is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A sexy blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the robust 2007 Monbousquet displays lots of toasty oak intermixed with sweet kirsch, blacker fruits, and spice box. Plush, medium to full-bodied, and supple textured, it is ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Beautifully elegant, noble, racy. A blend of 77% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Very polished tannins that caress the palate. Full body. It's fruity, pretty and refined. The mineral and berry character comes through in a subtle way. Second wine of Pichon Lalande
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This outstanding l'Arrosee is consistent with the Burgundian style that this terroir routinely produces. Never massive, at its best it offers intense flavors of kirsch, raspberry, crushed rock, and spice box. The full-bodied flavors are ethereal in their delicacy. Full, but stylish, precise,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A flamboyant St.-Emilion, this largely-Merlot blend displays notes of Christmas fruitcake, cedar wood, tobacco leaf, and loads of black currant and blackberry fruit.

5 Dead After Seattle-Area Shooting
A suspect was shot and killed by police.
Five people are dead after a Sunday night shooting incident at an apartment complex in Federal Way, Wash., a city about 20 miles south of Seattle. A suspect was shot by police and there's no threat to the public, authorities say.
Local CBS affiliate KIRO 7 reports that police shot and killed a wounded man in the complex's parking lot after he allegedly reached for a gun. Police were responding to reports of gunshots that poured in around 9:30 p.m. local time.
Two other men died in the parking lot. A man and a woman were found dead from gunshots in separate apartments.
[RELATED: The 11 Most Dangerous Cities in the U.S.]
"I got out of my car and shut the door, and before I got out of my car, I heard voices … and then the guy started toward me, and then the shots started," a female witness told KIRO 7.
Washington state radio station KGMI reports that police believe the men were involved in a gun fight among themselves.
NBC affiliate KING 5 reports that police are considering the possibility that the female victim was killed by a stray bullet.
[READ: Chicago, NYC Have Few Federal Gun Prosecutions]
"We're gonna continue to go door to door in hopes that we can find some additional witnesses, and hopefully we won't be finding any more victims," Federal Way police spokesman Cathy Schrock said, KING 5 reports.
Schrock did not immediately respond to a U.S. News inquiry asking if police could rule out terrorism as a motive for the shooting. Local police plan to announce more details about the incident later on Monday.
Update (5 p.m EDT):
In a Monday afternoon statement the Renton, Wash., police department clarified that "investigators believe this series of murders began with a domestic violence homicide."
In a bone-chilling play-by-play, Renton police - who are handling media requests for the Federal Way department - say that the 28-year-old suspect "first shot his girlfriend in the head, killing her, at their shared apartment." Then, the statement says, he packed a few items into a bag and left.
"Outside the apartment he encountered two men; witnesses reported hearing yelling or arguing, and saw the suspect shoot both men. The suspect walked up to one of the men and executed him," the statement says. "The resident of another apartment in the building, a man in his early 60's, walked out of his apartment, observed what was occurring, told another neighbor to call 9-1-1, and went back inside. The suspect used a shotgun to breach that apartment door, entered the apartment, and shot the man, killing him."
The statement continues: "Officers arrived as the suspect was exiting the fourth victim's apartment and carrying the shotgun. He ignored commands to drop the gun and was shot by at least two officers. The suspect dropped the shotgun and fled to a nearby parking lot, where he fell near the bodies of the two men he had shot outside. When officers approached to take the suspect into custody, the suspect reached for his handgun. Officers repeatedly ordered him to stop. The suspect continued to move towards the gun and several officers fired their weapons."
The dead suspect had "a valid Concealed Pistol License and multiple guns registered to his name," the police said.

It was "team awareness" day at the Lakers' practice facility, with an NBA representative on hand to discuss issues such as drug use and money management.
Point guard production presumably wasn't addressed, though the Lakers could use a few pointers in that department as well.
Steve Nash and Steve Blake won't be bringing the ball up the court in the next few games, meaning the Lakers could endure more clunkers like their loss against Indiana on Tuesday unless they figure things out quickly.
