Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — I don't know about you, but I'm sold. Billy Ray Cyrus is endorsing Obama. Wow! Attention K—Mart shoppers: the "Achy Breaky Heart," once mullet—wearing crooner has thrown his political clout into the Democratic presidential—candidate's corner. Come on, admit it: the game's over! (Unless, of course, someone of equal stature comes out of the Republican woodwork to even the score. Someone like Moe or Larry of the Three Stooges.)
File that under: Billy Ray who?
Let's shift gears.
Chan Gailey, head coach of the woeful Buffalo Bills, has stated – as of this writing — that he doesn't know what the deal is with the medical "procedure" performed on his underachieving defensive end Mario Williams. He didn't know when the procedure was done, who recommended it or even what the specifics of the injury were.
Doesn't it seem odd that the head coach — of an integral and heavily relied upon player (not to mention the highest paid defensive player in the league) — isn't on top of such critical information? Wouldn't you want to know exactly what was going on since it is directly related to the success of your team? (And your future.)
File that under: Duh!
Or maybe Chan is covering up — covering up the way he did for Ryan Fitzpatrick last year when the signal—caller's play slipped to several clicks below crap. Remember when he (Fitzpatrick) looked like he had no more business on the field than Yanni? Didn't you feel a lot better at the end of the season when it was revealed that he had played hurt? Yeah, right.
All the emotions from those heartbreaking losses simply dissipated when it was revealed that Ryan wasn't up to par. Isn't it great that a C—plus quarterback, at best — when he's healthy — is still left in the game to run the show after he breaks his ribs? It says a lot about plan B.
File that under: How much do they pay the backup quarterbacks?
While we're talking about the Bills, it seems to me that the lack of accountability by this team could be directly related to the fact that the person who signs their checks is no longer physically able to walk into the locker room and look them in the eyes the way he once did – especially, after an abysmal performance. The fire that once raged in Ralph Wilson's belly has been diminished by time. (Maybe, it's not hip to admit it, but I respect Mr. Wilson, for who he is and what he's done.)
Mario Williams wouldn't roll over game after game if he had to face the glare of a man who would rightfully expect him to play — or at least, try to play — like he was worth the $100 million he (Ralph) put in his (Williams) pocket.
Another thing, and I don't mean to sound offensive, I can't see how anyone can be motivated (or pressured) by someone — like a coach, for instance — who says "Shucks, y'all gotta just start playin' better – gowl dang—it."
File that under: Can you make at least one tackle a game, y'all?
Another topic: The World Series.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed – I'll try to be tactful here – how many obese and sloppy looking players there are on the baseball field nowadays? In times past, some of these guys would be considered too plump to play in a softball beer—league. When did they start luring sumo—wrestlers to play the infield? What in the name of fat Elvis happened to conditioning and grooming? Self—respect and discipline? Wouldn't they be able to perform (even) better ... IF they were in shape? But, as usual, I'm probably just old fashioned.
File that under: A big "if" and an even bigger "butt."

Daily Item
---- — If the customers who pressured local businesses to pull "Rolling Stone's" Boston Marathon bomber issue off the shelves had bothered to open the magazine to read the article, they would have discovered there was no cause for their outrage. In no way does the piece glamorize or romanticize the bomber. Quite the contrary, it offers a chilling and unflattering look at what it styles "the making of a monster."
Less knee jerk emotional response, please, and a little more reason.

Free Agent Pitcher Profile: Ubaldo Jimenez
by, 10-25-2013 at 12:24 AM (937 Views)
The Indians made a bold move at the trade deadline in 2011, trading away multiple top prospects to acquire Ubaldo Jimenez, a 27-year-old right-hander who was viewed at the time as one of the premier pitching talents in the National League. An imposing presence with a mid-90s fastball, Jimenez had steadily improved in the seasons leading up to 2010, when he went 19-8 with a 2.88 ERA to finish third in the Cy Young voting.
Jimenez hadn't been the same guy over the first half of the 2011 season in Colorado, posting a 4.46 ERA with significantly diminished velocity, but Cleveland still jumped at the opportunity to add a potential ace in his physical prime. As it turned out, the righty's troubles only worsened after the trade. He put up a 5.10 ERA in 11 starts down the stretch while the Indians rapidly faded from contention, and then trudged through a tumultuous 2012 campaign in which he lost 17 games with a 5.40 ERA, with a career-high 4.8 BB/9 and a career-low 7.3 K/9. In two years, Jimenez had gone from superstar to liability.
He bounced back in a major way this season, and the timing could hardly have been better for him. In his final year under contract, Jimenez went 13-9 with a 3.30 ERA, pushing his K-rate all the way back up 9.6 while showing dramatically improved control. Although his velocity dropped for a third consecutive year, his secondary stuff was as good as ever, and in the second half Jimenez looked every bit the part of a No. 1 starter, posting a 1.82 ERA and 100/27 K/BB ratio while holding opponents to a .606 OPS. He notched double-digit strikeouts in four of his last eight starts.
Why Does He Fit?
His performance this season, especially toward the end, is awfully tantalizing. That's a guy that could legitimately be called an ace -- something the Twins have mostly lacked since Johan Santana's departure. He also doesn't turn 30 until January, so in theory you're not looking at any imminent decline.
While he's had his ups and downs in terms of performance and there are questions about the condition of his arm based on draining gas, he's been able to take the mound every five days throughout his career up to this point. Jimenez has made 31-plus starts in each of his six seasons since becoming a full-time big-leaguer. Only six pitchers have made more starts since 2008.
Why Doesn't He Fit?
There's no two ways about it: Jimenez is a massive risk. Even though he was able to succeed with a 91 MPH fastball this year, his continually declining velocity is clearly a red flag, and he's still only a year removed from being one of the worst pitchers in the league.
Considering his age, his recent performance and the state of the market, Jimenez will surely require a sizable long-term deal. The Twins might have to go above and beyond what others are offering in order to lure him to a current non-contender. As enticing as his upside is, the downside may simply be too great to justify an unprecedented financial commitment. Beyond the money, signing Jimenez would also probably cost the Twins a high draft pick, as Cleveland seems likely to make a qualifying offer.
What Will He Cost?
The Offseason Handbook pegs his estimated contract at four years and $64 million, which coincidentally is the same guess we made on Tim Lincecum, who was profiled here on Tuesday. Lincecum ended up inking an extension with the Giants later that day at two years and $35 million. What does that tell us about Jimenez, who is similar to Lincecum in that his velocity has declined as he's approached 30? Compared to The Freak, Jimenez would seem to offer a lower ceiling and deeper floor, but he's also coming off a much better year. Sixty-four million still looks like a reasonable guess to me.
Would you pay that for a 30-year-old who was an ace this season, but mostly a disaster in the two years preceding?

Tried the Awful Arthurs on Colonial Street/Ave whatever...there was a definite strip mall restaurant atmosphere....so there were basic tables not much else. I did not go into the bar area because it was smoking...so perhaps there is better atomosphere in there. The quality was fine...the beer were good and the place was clean. The service was very good and attractive....Amber did a great job and had a great sence of Humor. The selection was good. There were six home brews available plus additional selections and bottles. The food was also very good...I had the jumbalaya...nice. Overall I thought the total package was reasonable. Worth a visit.

Home of Big Daddy Brewing Company. This chain seafood joint turned out to be a decent stop. Certainly a worthy of a visit if you are in the area or passing by but in no way a destination beer stop.
In the front is a typical family style restaurant with booths on the left and large tables along the right side. In the back is a HUGE bar area with a ton of TV's and (as of mid-May 2009) smoking--blech! I assume with the recent restaurant smoking ban in VA this will be different the next time.
Beers were certainly drinkable and decent to good. I enjoyed the Dark Side Porter and a Hop Dog IPA. A total of six house beers were available, my minimum and therefore a 3 on selection. The house beer were certainly a good value at $3 per pint and they offer happy hour specials for even less!
Our server was pleasant and overall the service was adequate. Her perky attitude certainly didn't hurt.
I was most pleased with the food. Being a chain and inland I honestly wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. We hit it on two for one shrimp night and received 2 pounds of large shrimp for the price of one! At $15.95, with sides, I found this to be a bargain. In combination with a plate of a dozen raw Bayside oysters this was plenty for the two of us.
A decent place worth a visit if in the area. Certainly the food will prompt me to visit again.

Nice little rest/brewpub in a stripmall in Roanoke VA... Front section is a resturant, with windows on the right side showing the brewery...the back half of the building is bar area. I had wings and the brew sampler...
They have 7 Brews on tap... My sampler was missing the Sunshine White Ale.... Instead I got a sample of the Scotch Ale (seasonal).... I'll review the brews with a little more detail under the beer section... They have the normal bottle stuff.... nothing exciting just the normal stuff.... The "Brew Master" comes from HomeBrewing and you can kind of tell.... All brews look a little unfiltered look(not a problem in my eye... love it unfiltered). My waiteress knew little about the beer so no help there, but was very nice. She did answer my questions about Growlers...(coming this summer). All the house brews are drinkable... none really jumped out for me but were not bad at all. The food is always good at AA's... The wings I have were pretty standard.
I will be back to try the one beer I missed... and maybe catch a show.... Not a bad place but not outstanding....Drop in and support local brewing...

I have visited AA's @ Towers Mall on several occasions since the inception of their small brewery. They usually have at least five to six items on tap ranging from American Pale, Brown Ale, IPA, Pilsner, Wheat, Scotch Ale and Porter. Flights are available. The brewer's experience comes from home brewing. While they do not have degrees in brewing,(they receive some form of coporate brewing support)they seem to me to be doing an adequate job. I have been generally pleased with AA's beer quality and selection but consistency with style / flavors is not always on spot. It is nice that there is something like this in the area and hopefully they will get better and better. The "happy hour" on Saturdays is dirt cheap. Beers by the pint are a little over $2.40. Food is reasonable but nothing to get excited over. Service can be slow if there is a crowd. On several occasions only one person is waiting tables in the afternoon. This is a blue collar restaurant / bar so expect to see a lot of Macros consumed even though they are making it fresh on premises.

BAEO Support Lawsuit against the State of Louisiana to Move Testing and Accountability Forward by using Common Core State Standards
The Black Alliance for Educational Options stood proudly today with a group led by teachers, parents and a charter school management organization at a press conference in New Orleans, LA where the group announced they had filed suit in East Baton Rouge Parish, arguing that Governor Bobby Jindal's efforts to interfere with the implementation of testing standards are unconstitutional and illegal.
School board decisions a blow to west Louisville
The decision by the Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) to build a new school in the upscale neighborhood of Norton Commons is yet another blow to the low-income and working-class families of west Louisville.

Gauchos well-represented on All-NBL team
Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 10:12 a.m.
Although the wide-open Casa Grande offense received much attention this season, it was no more impressive than the Gaucho defense to North Bay League coaches.
Four Casa Grande players — quarterback JaJuan Lawson, wide receiver Jared Roberts, running back John Porchivina and lineman Allan Hernandez — were named to the NBL all-league offensive first-team. Four — Roberts, Jimmy Johnson, Jake Ielmorini and Elijah Qualls — were picked to the first-team defense.
Roberts had a sensational season on both sides of the scrimmage line.
After playing running back as a junior, he switched to wide receiver and used his speed, strength and understanding of the Casa system to catch a team-leading 27 passes for 534 yards and six touchdowns. On defense, he was among the team's top tackers with 75 total tackles. He also intercepted three passes and caused a fumble. In addition, he was the team's leading kickoff returner, bringing nine kicks back for 175 yards.
Lawson, despite missing a game and playing two with an injured ankle, still had an exceptional season for Casa Grande. The junior completed 107 of 161 passes for 1,840 yards and 17 touchdowns, earning an outstanding quarterback rating of 117.
He was almost equally dangerous running the football, gaining 581 yards and scoring eight rushing touchdowns.
Porchivina, another junior, gained 651 yards on 89 carries, averaging better than seven yards per carry, and scored nine rushing touchdowns. He also caught eight passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns.
An outstanding defensive linebacker, he was named to the all-league second team defense. He had 49 tackles during the season.
Hernandez, a 6-foot, 230-pound senior, was a rock of consistency on a Casa Grande offensive line that was beset by injuries. He was a big reason the Gauchos were able to rush for 2,405 yards and pass for 1,872 yards more.
Gauchos Elijah Qualls, Cole Boggs and Shane Reed were named to the all-league second-team.Qualls could well have been a first-team selection at either running back or offensive line had he been able to settle into either position. As a running back, he led the team in rushing with 708 yards and a team-high 10 running touchdowns.
When the Casa Grande offensive line was hit by injuries late in the season, he unselfishly moved to center to shore up what had suddenly become a problem area. In several games, he played both center and running back.
Regardless of where he played on offense, he was a monster on defense. Playing in the middle of the Casa Grande line, he was credited with 83 tackles, an amazing number for a down lineman. He also had six sacks, recovered a fumble, caused a fumble and blocked three punts and a field goal.
Boggs was selected as a wide receiver after catching 21 passes for 306 yards and three touchdowns.
But he did a little bit of everything else for the Gauchos. He carried three times on reverses, gaining 20 yards, he made 41 tackles on defense and he returned nine punts for 88 yards. He was also one of the Redwood Empire's most prolific punters, averaging 39 yards a kick, with a long of 55 yards and 11 inside the 20-yard line.
Reed, a 6-foot, 2-inch, 220-pound senior, was another mainstay on the Gaucho front line and one of the unsung reasons for the strong 7-4 Casa Grande season.
Linebackers Johnson and Ielmorini joined Qualls and Roberts on the all-league first-team defense.
Johnson, a senior, was all over the field for the Gauchos, leading the team with 92 tackles. Whenever the Gauchos needed a big stop, Johnson was either involved or did the work himself.
Ielmorini, also a senior, was not only a devastating run stopper with 77 tackles on the season, he also was an important pass defender. He had two pass interceptions and a fumble recovery. He also made two sacks.
Senior defensive back Corey Llorence joined Porchivina on the defensive second team. He was an outstanding pass defender with an interception on the season and also played strong in run support with 20 tackles.

Injuries have kept Bears rookie FS Major Wright from making the kind of progression some expected of him in 2010, but when PFW caught up with him on Thursday, the third-round pick told us that he feels like he's getting better each week. Wright missed the final three preseason games with a broken thumb and he injured his hamstring in Week Two, which kept him out of the next five games. He has 11 tackles this season and has rotated in at safety along with starters Chris Harris and Danieal Manning since he returned from the hamstring injury in Week Nine.
PFW: Now that you've been back for five straight games, do you feel more comfortable in this defense? Do you have a good sense of your role?
Wright: I'm definitely more comfortable. Getting game reps, it makes things different. (It's not like) just watching it. I think I'm getting better.
PFW: There are a lot of veterans on this defense, including some of your fellow safeties. Do they go out of their way to steer you in the right direction when you're getting reps at practice?
Wright: They're very helpful. I commend them on that — for helping me as much as they do because they really don't have to. That's not their job. They help me a lot on the field and off the field. Anytime I need anything, I can call them and they'll be there for me.
PFW: How would you describe MLB Brian Urlacher's leadership style?
Wright: He leads more by example. He's a very humble guy. He's a guy you can look up to and try to follow in his footsteps. ... He's a go-getter. He's one of those guys that studies film and knows what he's doing.

---- — TRAVERSE CITY — A Canadian semi-truck driver involved in a crash that killed two Thompsonville men is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
Brothers Jeffery Mitchell Toole, 49, and Joel Willard Toole, 43, died Friday when their pickup truck was struck by the trailer of a semi-truck that drifted into the northbound lane of M-37.
The driver of the semi, Kuldeep Singh Khangura, 28, of Markham, Ontario, was not injured. Grand Traverse County sheriff's Capt. Randy Fewless said Khangura was arrested on two counts of a moving violation causing death, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. He said investigators believe Khangura did not exhibit caution considering existing road conditions as the semi-truck approached the first portion of a sharp "S"-turn near Center Road.
"The road conditions were wet, but as far as a speed determination, we're waiting on an accident reconstruction," Fewless said.
Sheriff's deputies closed M-37 and rerouted traffic for about six hours on Friday as they investigated the crash.
Khangura was released from jail on a 10 percent $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court at 9:45 a.m. Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Bob Cooney said Monday he's waiting for a police report in order to officially file the charges, but he did receive a probable cause arrest form.
Fewless said the driver is originally from India, holds a Canadian driver's license, and has a current U.S. visa.
"On Friday, when the accident occurred, we did run a full criminal history," he said. "It appears everything was valid and nothing was showing on his driver's license."
A vehicle inspection report shows the Canada Inc. semi-truck was inspected in Brampton, Ontario, near Toronto. Canada Inc. representatives couldn't be reached for comment.
Fewless said a portable breathalyzer test showed no sign the driver was drinking alcohol.

In 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. The act covers your relationship with insurers, health plans, and everyone else in the healthcare system. It contains health insurance reforms that will roll out over four years, with most changes taking place in 2014. The goal of the act is to put American consumers back in charge of their health coverage and care.
A new Patient's Bill of Rights was created alongside the Affordable Care Act. Like most rights, it comes with certain obligations to take an active role in making the system run smoothly.
Some of the key features of the new Patient's Bill of Rights include:
- Coverage to Americans with pre-existing conditions under the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan
- The ability to choose a primary care doctor from your plan's network
- Coverage for young adults under their parent's health plan until age 26
- A ban on lifetime limits on coverage for all new health insurance plans
- Benefits to children under 19 who may have previously been denied due to a pre-existing condition
- Insurance companies that must publicly justify rate hikes
- Premium dollars that must be spent primarily on healthcare and not on administrative costs
- Restricting annual dollar limits on coverage
- Preventing health care plans from requiring patients to pay higher copayments when seeking emergency care outside of their plan network
The Goals
Originally passed in 1997, the Patients' Bill of Rights was designed to strengthen consumer confidence in the healthcare system, to provide a sound foundation on which to build quality doctor-patient relationships, and to spell out patients' rights to receive good care. It also obligates patients to take an active part in the management of their own health. While new features set out in the Affordable Care Act take affect, older rules in the Patient's Bill of Rights still apply.
The Bill set standards based on the ideal that no patient—like no citizen—should have more rights than any other. Whether you are enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid or are a veteran or government employee, whether you are covered by an employer or buy your own health insurance, and even if you have no healthcare coverage at all, this bill applies to you.
Beyond the basic belief in equality among patients, the Bill incorporates some other commonly accepted American attitudes. These are:
- Healthcare should be available to everyone.
- Healthcare coverage must be affordable.
- People who are particularly vulnerable deserve extra help.
- Health insurers should use their premiums to pay a reasonable portion of the cost of care.
- People should be encouraged to participate in the clinical trials that result in new medications and better approaches to illnesses.
Your Rights
The Right to Information About Quality
You must be able to receive accurate, easy-to-understand information about health plans, healthcare professionals, and hospitals and clinics so that you can choose your care wisely.
That means that you should:
- Have the details of your health plan spelled out clearly and precisely
- Be able to quickly learn about the education, licensure, experience, and any bad marks on the professional records of doctors and others healthcare providers
- Be able to quickly acquire a variety of statistics on hospitals and clinics, including how often certain procedures have been performed there, comparisons between them and other institutions, and how to lodge complaints against them
The Right to Choose a Healthcare Provider
All health plans must offer you a wide enough range of coverage options so that you don't have to wait for any services you need. Women must have a choice of gynecological and obstetrical professionals, and anyone who needs the services of a specialist must be able to get them. If plans do not fulfill these basic provisions, you have the right to seek care outside of the plan at no additional cost.
Furthermore, if you have a chronic or disabling condition and your health plan terminates your provider's contract, you may be able to continuing seeing your provider for up to 90, unless the termination is for a cause. If you are in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, you may continue seeing your OB/GYN until the end of your postpartum care.
The Right to Emergency Services
You should not need permission ahead of time to use emergency services if you have symptoms that a "prudent layperson"—meaning a reasonable person—would consider an emergency. While this stipulation may seem somewhat unclear, it is meant to prevent people from abusing the convenience of emergency rooms rather than scheduling appointments in a doctor's office. This right also protects patients by ensuring they aren't held back from using emergency services by health plans attempting to save money.
Health plans should tell you where emergency services near you are located, and what you will be expected to pay when you use them. You should not be penalized if the nearest facilities available to you during an emergency are not in your network. And people who work in emergency departments should get in touch with your health plan as soon as possible.
It is your responsibility to make appointments before emergencies arise whenever possible, even if that means you have to take time off from work or find transportation to destinations farther away than the closest hospital. Your health plans should provide easy access to healthcare professionals and provide adequate opportunity for care.
However, if you have good reason to think you are in trouble and shouldn't wait to see a doctor, you must be permitted to use emergency services.
The Right to Make Decisions
You must be given all the information you need to make decisions about your healthcare. No one else can make those decisions for you—except under the following conditions:
- If you are unable to make decisions (due to physical or mental health reasons) and you have legally handed over that right to a designated family member or friend
- If you are the responsibility of a person assigned to you by a court
Doctors and other healthcare professionals may recommend a particular course of action, but you must be informed of all other options and be given the opportunity to carefully consider those options before proceeding.
You have the right to refuse treatment. To make sure you can exercise that right, it is best to spell out ahead of time what kinds of treatments you want or don't want in case you become extremely ill and are unable to speak for yourself. A "living will" is one way to do that. For more information on living wills and related topics, see the article in this series entitled End of Life Care.
The Right to Respect
You must be treated with respect and good manners, and may not be discriminated against for any reason, including sex, age, race, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.
Doctors should see you as soon as possible, and not keep you waiting any longer than is necessary. Once they see you, they should attempt to give you all the time you need to understand your diagnoses and explain your treatment options.
You must, in turn, treat healthcare professionals appropriately, and do what you can to promote mutual respect.
The Right to Confidentiality
Healthcare professionals, insurers, and suppliers may not discuss your health history with employers or anyone else unless you give them permission to, except if the exchange of information is necessary for your care, and in some cases where the law or public health are concerned. For more information on your rights to privacy, see the article in this series entitled HIPAA: Your Right to Health Care and Privacy.
You have the right to access any and all of your healthcare records. This gives you the responsibility to know what is in those records, and to find out if anyone has had unauthorized access to them.
The Right to Complain
You have the right to report and seek quick resolutions to any problems you have with your healthcare. Matters that might be of concern to you include billing, denied treatment, waiting times, how you have been treated, and lack of services.
All health plans, providers, and related institutions should have internal systems in place to handle both complaints and appeals. The process for these should be easy to understand and participate in, and all rules should be made known to you.
If you need external help, you can turn to state licensing agents and other protective agencies set up by each state.
Your Responsibilities
Besides protecting your rights, the Patients' Bill of Rights also lists specific things you should do to help improve the quality of your care and the relationships you establish with healthcare professionals.
These include eating healthfully, making an effort to quit bad habits such as smoking, taking an active interest in your doctors' opinions and advise, carrying out treatments on which you and your doctors have agreed (including taking medications responsibly), and telling your doctors what they need to know.
Other responsibilities include taking care not to spread disease, showing respect for health workers, taking time to understand your health plans, doing the best you can to pay your bills, reporting fraud if you witness it, and following the rules and regulations governing your health plan.
A Timeline
While the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in 2010, not all of its reforms have rolled out to Americans. Most of the changes will take place by 2014, while others have already begun. You can find out more information about the changes that will take place by visiting www.healthcare.gov.

Submitted by Gordon Hospital
Gordon Home Care, a service of Gordon Hospital, has been recognized as one of the most successful home care providers in the United States.
According to Cory Reeves, chief financial officer for Gordon Hospital, Gordon Home Care is one of seven home care agencies in the Adventist Health System to be recognized by 2012 HomeCare Elite, a listing of the top tier health care agencies in the United States based on performance measures.
"Gordon Home Care not only achieved the quality standing of being in the top 25 percent of the home health agencies, but our team was also ranked in the top 100 agencies in the country," Reeves says. "This is indeed an honor and we are very proud of everyone involved for ensuring that our home care patients receive the best care possible."
The data generated for the award fell under the direction of two directors: current Gordon Home Care Director Candy Van Dyke and past Director Tracy Farriba, who recently accepted the position of Physician and Community Relations Director for the hospital.
Van Dyke explained that the scoring for the listing is a combination of patient clinical outcomes, process measures, HHCAPS (Home Health Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) and financial outcomes. The data for the study is based on publicly available information.
"We are very proud to help carry an excellent health care reputation alongside our hospital team," Van Dyke says. "We thank everyone for their support."

Bachelor of Economics and Doctor of Medicine
The information on this page applies to future students. Current students should refer to their faculty handbooks for course information.
This seven-year (full-time) program provides students with the opportunity to study in areas that are of particular relevance to the management and conduct of business in addition to studying Medicine. Students must major in either Economics, Econometrics or Financial Economics as part of their Bachelor of Economics and are required to complete six units of study in preparation for a Doctor of Medicine.
The skills you will acquire through the Bachelor of Economics will benefit a number of careers in the medical profession. For example, doctors in private practice need to understand the fundamentals of business in order to establish and maintain a thriving practice. Meanwhile, doctors in supervisory roles, such as hospital chief executives, require the management skills to successfully coordinate staff, budgets and other administrative duties.
A unique degree allowing students interested in studying medicine to combine a professional degree with a passion for arts and the social sciences.
The MD program comprises four broad themes that run throughout the four- year curriculum. The themes cover:
– Basic and Clinical Sciences
– Patient and Doctor
– Population Medicine
– Personal and Professional Development.
Basic and Clinical Sciences provide the scientific foundation for your medical studies. You will cover medical sciences of physiology, anatomy and histology, pharmacology and pathology, both in lectures and in practical laboratory sessions.
Patient and Doctor sessions cover clinical knowledge and skills, clinical reasoning and clinical communication.
Population Medicine sessions are interactive, encouraging debate, and are mostly presented in a seminar format, with two or more speakers presenting different perspectives and leading the discussion.
Personal and Professional Development sessions include aspects of personal development and professionalism, the law relevant to medical practice, ethics, patient safety and medical humanities.
We make increasing use of online learning materials across all four themes.
The course is delivered in three 'stages'. Stages 1 and 2 cover years one and two respectively. Stage 3 covers years three and four.
To find out more about your eligibility for a double degree, visit sydney.edu.au/medicine/md.
Fee information: The course fee quoted here relates to the Bachelor of Economics only. For course fees for the medical program please see Doctor of Medicine.

Further course information
Study plan
Completion of a major is a requirement of the Bachelor of Economics degree. Students must complete a major in either Economics, Econometrics or Financial Economics. A major requires the completion of at least 36 senior credit points. Units of study counted towards one major may not count toward any other major completed.
Progression rules
(1) Candidates must complete all requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Economics, including the designated Science units of study, in minimum time and must maintain a credit average in each year of the Bachelor of Economics, this being the minimum achievement required for admission to candidature for the Doctor of Medicine.
(2) Failure to maintain the required progression and minimum result requirements will result in candidates being transferred from the double degree program to a Bachelor of Economics degree with full credit for all units of study successfully completed.
Course opportunities
Most subject areas within the double degree allow for students to take part in an international exchange program. The program enables students to enhance their skills in a language other than English and their knowledge of other societies and cultures.
Students in the Doctor of Medicine have contact with patients and observe aspects of disease throughout their four years of study, with clinical placements at world-leading institutes, and established elective placement opportunities in Europe, Africa, North America and Asia.
Course outcomes and further study
Graduate opportunities
A career in medicine could include general practice or specialisation. In order to register with an Australian or New Zealand medical board, you will need to complete one year of internship. Most junior doctors make their career choice during their second postgraduate year, most commonly opting for general practice or one of the specialties. You will need to gain further experience and study under the supervision of one of the specialist colleges before you can obtain your specialist qualifications or vocational registration as a general practitioner.
Other career options for graduates include medical research, teaching, medical administration, medical communication or journalism.
Further study
Honours is available to meritorious candidates in the Bachelor of Economics and requires an additional year of full time study after the completion of the pass degree. Admission, requirements and award of honours are according to the Resolutions of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. If you qualify to undertake honours in the Bachelor of Economics degree may elect to either suspend candidature from the Doctor of Medicine degree for one year, with the permission of the Faculty of Medicine; or after completion of the double degree program.
Admission requirements
(1) Admission to this course is on the basis of a secondary school leaving qualification such as the NSW Higher School Certificate (including national and international equivalents) leading to the award of an Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking (ATAR) or equivalent. English language requirements must be met where these are not demonstrated by sufficient qualifications taught in English. Applicants are ranked by merit and offers for available places are issued according to the ranking. Details of admission policies are found in the Coursework Rule.
(2) In addition, admission to this course requires the applicant to participate in a semi structured interview. The results of this interview will form part of the ranking or applicants.
(3) The Dean may also admit to the Bachelor of Economics/Doctor of Medicine students who:
(a) are candidates for the Bachelor of Economics/Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery; (b) did not commence the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery prior to 1 January 2014; and (c) have formally elected to proceed under these resolutions.

Good news for ebook readers, at least in the U.S. After spending some time at almost $15, the Kindle version of Brainfluence has dropped to its introductory price of $9.99.
I don't control this and I get no notice of these changes, so I can't say how long this lower will last. If you have a Kindle or use one of the free Kindle reading apps, grab your copy before it flips back again! (Prices outside the US may vary, sorry!)
Recent Praise for Brainfluence
While we're talking about Brainfluence, here are some recent reviews and comments:
Roger Dooley's Brainfluence is a tool every marketer needs, regardless of business size or scope… Brainfluence is destined to become a classic.
— Emma Alvarez Gibson, Publisher, Jack Move Magazine
Via Twitter:
Finally plowing through @RogerDooley's book. Freakin' great stuff. Buy BrainFluence.
From Amazon:
I came away from this book with more than a hundred ideas I can test or just put to work in fundraising. If even a small percentage of these ideas improve results, my clients stand to make the price of the book hundreds of times over in the coming months… It's an easy, quick, enjoyable read, and you'll get ideas you can use.

text: The very first church to be established in Slidell has been completely destroyed by fire according to Slidell Chief of Fire Prevention Chad Duffaut. Duffaut tells WWL Radio News that the church was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived, and says the fire is believed to be the work of an arsonist who set other fires nearby. Officials are asking anyone with information or tips about who may have started these fires to contact the St. Tammany Sheriff's Office, which is now handling the investigation. The Slidell Light of the World Church was built in 1886 and is located on Indian Village Rd. It was badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, but there were plans for restoration, says Duffaut. There were three smaller additional fires in that same area, Duffaut said. "Firefighters also located an additional fire on the same property inside of a tent. Firefighters were able to extinguish both fires and bring the situation under control within 30 minutes of arriving on the scene," Duffaut says. "However, a short time later, two additional fires were also located and extinguished within close proximity to the church fire. The first was a block away, inside an old barn, where a vehicle seat was set on fire. The other fire was a Ford Bronco that was set on fire a few blocks away from the barn." He says there is no doubt about the cause of the fires, "as they absolutely are arson. All four are related and all four are arson fires." Photo: St. Tammany Fire District

Hi all,
I have the problem about the socket. This socket set some parameters from SSL. It worked fine for the first time binding. Then, I restarted the application, and the socket cannot bind anymore and throw an errno 142.
When running it on FP1 device, it works perfectly. But on FP2 device (E72), it failed on the second binding even though I restarted the application. E72 device is using the latest firmware. Is this the FP2 device problem?
Below is the brief of my code:
Initialize and binding code
Release codeCode:m_socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP); ... if(bind(m_socket, (struct sockaddr*)&bindaddr, sizeof(bindaddr)) < 0) { // Print the errno; } ... while (connect(m_socket, (struct sockaddr*)&sockaddr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)) < 0) { // return if error; }
I have been stuck in this for a long time. Please help me.Code:shutdown(m_socket, 2); close(m_socket);
Thanks a lot

Authors and those connected with authors: If you wish to make changes to your bio, please send your complete biography as you would like it displayed so that we can replace the old with the new.
An Interview With Anne Tyler About Patchwork Planet
protagonist in this novel, Barnaby Gaitlin, has been described as an average,
ordinary man. Is this how you would describe him?
I think Barnaby is average and ordinary only to the extent that most people are average and ordinary--that is, not very, if you look carefully enough.
Barnaby is, among other things, a man struggling to cast off the weight of his past. How successful is he, and indeed any of us, in doing so?
I do believe that Barnaby is at least largely successful in getting out from under the weight of his past--that's where the plot derives its movement.
At the close of this novel, we are left wondering just exactly who is Barnaby's angel. How would you answer this question?
Barnaby has not just one but many angels--the network of people he lives among who see him for the good man he is and wish him well and do what they can to ease his life.
You delightfully skewer class pretensions in this novel, most notably in the form of Barnaby's mother, Margot, and explore the cost and meaning of class mobility in America. Why is this such a central theme in your work?
