Uncovering an Unlikely Art Scene in Paris
Hôtel Le A is not really a hotel. Its creators didn't design a guesthouse; they concocted a work of art with bedrooms and a great lounge bar attached. Your first impression is of a downtown SoHo gallery of the Seventies: definitely art scene, and more Right Bank sophistication than Left Bank boho. You half expect to find Leo Castelli in a corner, arguing over prices with Andy Warhol. Le A is a collaboration between architect/interior designer Fréderic Mechiche, and Fabrice Hybert, artist, both contemporaries of Andy and Leo — and, thanks to their vintage, well versed in the nuances of classic Seventies chic. Each room is unique and filled with broad canvases, and the entire elevator changes colours to indicate different floors. Call it minimalism lite.

Our Mission, Vision, & Values
The mission of Augusta Health is to promote the health and well-being of our community through access to excellent care.
Our vision is to be a vibrant, independent, community-owned health care system that is the first choice for all by:
- Focusing on patients and their families as the center of all that we do
- Promoting the highest clinical quality at the best value
- Offering exceptional experiences in all aspects of care
At Augusta Health, we believe our actions should be guided by an established set of core values that serve as an inspiration for all, that reflect who we are, and that represent what we aspire to be. We believe that as stewards of a health care system that exists to serve the community, these values should guide our actions and behaviors at all times. We recognize that while it is important for us to embrace change, the Augusta Health system values symbolize constancy and our foundation. As we embrace these values, we will achieve our goal of being the first choice for health care services for our community, and we pledge to hold true to these values at all times.
To that end, these organizational values have been developed by the people of Augusta Health: employees, medical staff, volunteers, and leaders who interact with patients and families every day. These values were affirmed by the Augusta Health Board of Directors, a group of voluntary community leaders and physicians directly representing the community and who serve as vigilant guardians to assure community need is met by Augusta Health at all times.
Patient and Community Centeredness
We believe that the patient is at the center of all that we do and the sole reason we exist. We recognize that the patient is an integral member of a family, and that the family is part of the community. For these reasons we believe that we must always prioritize our services and clinical care in the interest of being patient, family, and community centered.
Ease of access and availability of services are important, but so are providing a warm and compassionate environment. We listen thoughtfully to patients and families, and recognize the stress they may be under and treat them with dignity and respect. We organize our systems and processes around the needs of the patient, family, and community, and not our convenience as providers.
We highly value our employees, medical staff, and volunteers, and believe we are all healthcare professionals, regardless of our roles in the healthcare system. Therefore, we believe our conduct, ethics, and behaviors must reflect integrity at all times. To this end we pledge to be trained and educated to do our jobs as best we can, assuring our competency to our patients, each other, and the community at all times. Professional appearance, attitude, and behavior throughout the organization are what the community expects and we demand of ourselves.
We believe that as a healthcare system, our performance standards must be at the highest levels at all times, and therefore we commit to excellence in all that we do. We recognize that aspiring to excellence is a journey that requires constant innovation and openness to change. We believe that science and evidence based practice should be our performance standard. We believe that education is core to promoting excellence, and that ongoing learning is essential for all healthcare professionals. Finally, the commitment to excellence is inspired by strongly held beliefs in clinical quality and safe patient care.
The strength of Augusta Health is based on our commitment to teamwork. We have the greatest success in fulfilling our mission and serving our community when we work together and have a collective stake in our successes and failures. When we work together we are capable of reaching the highest levels of performance, producing the best possible health outcomes for and service to our community.

Bill Nelson Says MacDill AFB Security Is "At The Level It Needs To Be"
TAMPA, Fla. (970 WFLA) - Florida senator Bill Nelson met with the top leaders at MacDill Air Force Base about security after a homeless woman was able to jump a fence and access the base several times.
Nelson says he's been assured that the base will tighten perimeter security and make personnel more aware about security breaches.
The Orlando democrat also says the base has foiled five real threats over the last year, three of those cases within the past six weeks. Nelson wouldn't discuss the nature of those threats, but says security measures were taken to prevent those incidents from actually taking place.
Nelson says 50-year-old Suzanne Jensen was never seen as a threat. He expresses confidence in the base's security protocol.
Jensen was arrested four times since last October for jumping a perimeter fence. She claimed she remained on base for eight days in once instance, but Nelson says that's never been confirmed.

PHMSA on Incorporating Rail Special Permits into HazMat Regs
In a final rule, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has amended the Hazardous Materials Regulations to incorporate provisions contained in certain widely used or longstanding rail special permits that have general applicability and established safety records. Special permits allow a company or an individual to package or ship a hazardous material in a manner that varies from the regulations provided an equivalent level of safety is maintained. Incorporating these special permits, PHMSA says, will provide users wider access to the regulatory flexibility offered in these special permits, eliminate the need for numerous renewal requests, reduce paperwork burdens, and facilitate commerce while maintaining an appropriate level of safety. This rulemaking also responds to two petitions for rulemaking concerning the use of electronic shipping papers and the removal of the Association of American Railroad's AAR-600 portable tank program for previously adopted standards that meet or exceed the AAR-600 requirements. The effective date is July 25, 2012. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-06-25/html/2012-13960.htm

Have you ever considered allowing reservations on the study rooms in the library? Or requiring them to be used by groups of 2 or more? Some nights they are all busy and it would be nice if priority could be given to those who need a place to work together without disturbing everyone else.
Yes, we've heard that finding available study rooms is often frustrating. Our long-term goal is to create more study rooms within the library. In the meantime, we are looking into ways to implement a paper-based or electronic reservation system. At present, we do ask that the rooms be used only by groups of two or more. In other words, single individuals should not occupy these spaces as they are intended solely for group work. There should be signs on each door stating this, but some may have been removed. I'll check to make sure that this signage is still prominently posted on each study room door.

Why doesn't the library have copies of the textbooks I'm using for my classes?
We took your question to Mary Barbosa-Jerez, the Head of Collection Development for the St. Olaf College Libraries. Here's what she said:
This is a really good question! Students often ask whether their textbooks are available in the library collections. The answer is no. The library does invest in many books and other materials that may be assigned for your classes that are not textbooks. For example, you are very likely to find a copy of the novel your literature class is reading in the library. You may even find books your class is reading by famous philosophers, economists and historians.
Textbooks, however, are a different story.
Textbooks (those books with titles like Microbiology: An Introduction, and Neue Horizonte: Introductory German) are usually updated each year, and are used by specific classes for a relatively short period of time. After that, they become obsolete (that's part of the reason that their value drops so much between the time you buy them and the time you try to resell them at the end of the semester). College and university libraries have a core mission to support ongoing research at their institutions, and textbooks don't fit that criteria. Libraries also have limited budgets. You can imagine, then, that filling our libraries with textbooks that will soon be out of date isn't the best investment for St. Olaf's academic community.
Instead we invest in lasting research books (usually published by university and other very reputable presses), in academic journals (like the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology and the Journal of Philosophical Logic), in online indexing and abstracting tools to guide you to the best resources (like Psychological Abstracts, Philosopher's Index, Index Chemicus and ProQuest Research Library), streaming audio and video collections, and digital archives of primary source materials (like Early English Books Online, First World War and Foreign Broadcast Information Service). In other words, by spending wisely, St. Olaf's Libraries are able to buy collections worth many thousands of dollars -- collections that would be impossible for a single individual to purchase on their own -- and then make them available to students and faculty in our academic community.
For better or for worse, buying textbooks (and sometimes, just buying books used in your classes) is part of the cost students must expect to assume as part of paying for their education. However, you can be assured that the St. Olaf Bookstore works to bring you the best prices possible on your textbooks. You should also know that St. Olaf is relatively unique: bookstore profits do not go to an outside entity like they do at most colleges and universities. Instead, those dollars are returned to the students in the form of reduced fees and costs. Furthermore, the bookstore management is working on ways to further lower the cost of your textbooks by offering options like textbook rental. You can find out more about those programs by checking out the bookstore's website here: http://www.stolafbookstore.com/SiteText.aspx?id=3676
We hope this helps answer your question. If not, Mary said she's be happy to talk more with you about it. In any case, we encourage you take some time to explore the really amazing collections that the St. Olaf Libraries offer its students and faculty. And remember, reference librarians are always available to help you navigate these resources!

Why isn't my password for my Bridge account working?
There are two possible reasons why this could be happening:
1. You have gotten a new St. Olaf ID card and your new ID number has not yet gotten into the library system. It can take a couple of days for the library system to get updated.
2. You have a unusual character in your password which the library's authentication system doesn't recognize. Unfortunately, this can happen if you have anything other than a letter or number in your password. Symbols such as $, #, *, !, etc. can confuse the library system. We've found that if the individual changes his/her password to something strictly alpha-numeric, then they can usually log in.

I can't find a link on the main library page or at any of the tabs explaining how to get off-campus access to digital library resources (journals).
Great question! All of our e-resources have a special code attached to them which will prompt you for your St. Olaf username and password when you are off-campus. You can then proceed to use them as you normally would on campus. So for e-journals, look them up in Bridge and use the "click for St. Olaf access" link, log in, and proceed as you usually do.

I miss the easy access to the research portal on the homepage. I think this helps students get to course research pages and the general information on research that they need. I also think to remove it/relocate it mid-year on the homepage makes it difficult for students (and faculty).
By the "research portal" I assume you mean the research guides that our reference and instruction librarians create. They are still easily accessible from the homepage under the "Research Guides" tab (within the "Research" box). We decided to remove the other button ("Start Here for Research") for two reasons:
- our usage statistics showed it had low use compared to the other links on our homepage
- it was duplicated by the "Research Guides" tab
We are currently working on ways to highlight and integrate the library research guides with the rest of the library site to improve their discovery and use. We welcome any additional ideas or feedback about how we can do this!

Why isn't Rolvaag open on Sunday mornings?
We've heard many requests that we open earlier on Sundays. The College administration has decided that the library should remain closed on Sunday mornings out of respect to our tradition as a college of the church.
December 20, 2013
Why are there so few outlets in the library? I can never find a place to plug in my laptop.
Many have brought up the scarcity of outlets in the library. And it's true, much of the building was constructed long before the need for every student to have easy access to power. But rest assured, as we move forward in our library space planning, outlets will be a top priority.
December 20, 2013
I find it hard to locate a quiet spot to study in the library.
We've heard from students expressing some frustration about the noise level in "Super-Quiet Study Zones". We sense that this becomes an even greater issue at the end of each semester when students are under more pressure. There are several ways we hope to alleviate this problem: While we have designated certain floors as "Super-Quiet Study Zones," we believe that these areas are not as well marked as they could be. Currently, these zones are on Levels 2, 3 1/2, and 5. We intend to create more signage to make such designations clear to all users. We believe that the best way to address noise concerns is to respectfully ask others to lower their voices, but we acknowledge that this is not always possible or easy to do. If any student encounters a persistent problem with the noise level, we encourage him/her to come talk with the staff at either the Reference or Circulation Desks.
December 20, 2013
Where are all the white boards?
You're absolutely right, we need more white boards dispersed throughout Rolvaag, and we're working on procuring some.
December 20, 2013
What is that clanking noise in the Reference Room?
We've been aware of this noise for a long, long time, and we sympathize! Alas, we've been told that the noisy radiators can't be silenced without drastic measures of ripping out walls in the reference room. We hope that this annoying problem will be fixed when we undergo a vast renovation of Rolvaag, hopefully in the near future.

Trading Down In The Housing Market
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I've written several articles about how big finance companies like Blackstone are entering the housing market and how that is likely a sign that the market is ripe for a turnaround. Buying home builders, lumber real estate investment trusts (REITs), furniture stores, and home improvement related stocks are just a few of the ways investors can tag along for the ride. One other way is by investing in self-storage REITs. However, there's more than just a housing turnaround to support this REIT segment.
A Housing Turnaround
With financial giants stepping in to buy distressed homes directly from banks and distressed mortgages directly from the U.S. government, there is no question that there is serious interest in the housing market. While one-family homes were once dominated by individuals who owned their own homes and mom and pop landlords who rent out a relatively small number of homes, the market clearly looks like it's on its way to being institutionalized.
If this is the precursor to a housing rebound, than storage REITs are in line to benefit. Two of the key benefits of putting one's "stuff" in storage are to hide it when the house is being sold and to store it while in-between homes. However, many people find that the extra storage is highly desirable and simply keep their excess belongings under lock and key, and out of the house. So, a housing turn will definitely be a good thing for the storage market.
Other Reasons to Like the Sector
That alone, however, isn't the only reason to like storage REITs. There are two other supporting arguments that should be even bigger long-term boosters. First if the graying of America. While many Baby Boomers never move, a large number do. Often this is an attempt to downsize from homes large enough to raise a family into places more appropriate for just two people and an occasional guest.
Going from a three or four bedroom home to one with just two bedrooms means consolidating a lot of "stuff." For those Boomers who can't stand to throw out baby's first clothes and toys, and the memories they hold, storage is often the only option. This will be a huge long-term trend that will help support the self-storage industry's growth for several decades.
The economic weakness we've seen of late is another supporting factor. Not because people need a place to put their things when they lose their home, which may be true, but because some industry watchers are seeing a shift toward renting. And not because homes are out of reach, but because jobs are scarce and moving where the work is looks like it is becoming a necessity.
Thus, why buy if you are just going to have to sell in a few years, or less, anyway? Since apartments are often smaller than homes, collecting one's extra, but still important, "stuff" in a self-storage unit makes moving that much easier. It's also easier to never move one's stuff in the first place, if it isn't vital to begin with.
The Storage Industry
The self-storage segment of the REIT industry is fragmented and highly competitive. It simply doesn't take much to put up a new facility when it can be little more than a collection of cheap concrete garages. Moreover, it is still largely populated with small players.
The large publicly traded REITs have operational advantages over mom and pops, including scale and computerization, but that isn't enough to offset the low barriers to entry. However, there are some benefits to the industry being fragmented. Most notably, the ability to act as a consolidator. So competition is fierce, but growth opportunities abound.
Some Companies to Watch
There are a number of large REITs in the self-storage space that investors can look at. One of the oldest and largest is Public Storage (NYSE: PSA). Although most of its business is domestic, it has notable operations in Europe, adding some diversification to its portfolio but also some risk, since the "old world" is struggling economically right now.
California, Texas, and Florida represent large positions for the company, which puts it in decent position to benefit from downsizing and space constrained markets. With well more than 2,000 facilities, however, growth will likely be slow since large-scale purchases in a fragmented industry are likely to be hard to come by and competitively priced. With a yield below 1%, this stock is only suitable for momentum and growth-focused investors.
CubeSmart (NYSE: CUBE) is a company that has worked diligently to improve its finances since the 2007-2009 recession. With more manageable debt levels and a lower dividend payout, the company continues to expand its reach. With material exposure to New York, Texas, and Florida, the company appears to be in the right places to benefit from some of the shifts noted above. It owns around 400 storage centers. A low yield won't interest dividend investors, but momentum accounts might want to take a look.
Extra Space Storage (NYSE: EXR) owns or operates more than 900 storage facilities across the United States. Its yield is multiples of Public Storage's, and it increased its dividend disbursement 25% at the end of 2012. Still, with a yield below 3% it won't likely light a fire under dividend investors, though those with a focus on dividend growth might find its prospects appealing.
Interestingly, Extra Space is the largest third-party manager of storage facilities in the United States, allowing it to leverage its existing systems to produce a relatively low-cost revenue stream. Approximately 20% of the properties it controls are managed, not owned. California, Florida, and the Northeast are big markets for the company.
Sovran Self Storage's (NYSE: SSS) yield of 3% is similar to the yield offered by Extra Space Storage. The company just increased its quarterly dividend three cents a share to $0.48. The company owns or operates more than 400 storage facilities across the United States, with notable exposure to the Texas and Florida markets. It continues to act as a consolidator, adding 10 properties late last year. This is a positive for the company, which will find growth easier to achieve than a giant like Public Storage. Income investors might be better served avoiding this one, but those with a growth bent should consider taking a look.
An Indirect Beneficiary, but a Longer Curve
A housing turnaround would likely benefit the storage industry, but that's not the only story here. In fact, a housing turn would probably just be icing on the cake. Investors looking for income have never really been attracted to this historically low-yielding segment of the REIT space, but growth investors could find some compelling stories here.

Canon EOS 70D Review
Image Quality
Canon EOS 70D Review - Image Quality
Colour and white balance
The Canon EOS 70D produces accurate, pleasing colours straight out of the camera, but those looking for punchier JPEG files may be tempted to swap to one of the 70D's more saturated Picture Styles. As well as this, the 70D's Auto White Balance also performs well, with well-balanced and neutral-looking images delivered under a range of lighting conditions, though I did experience times when it was a little cool for my liking.
Every Canon DSLR since the 7D has used the same 63-zone Focus Colour Luminance (iFCL) metering system and the 70D keeps this tradition going. The 70D's Evaluative metering work's by collecting information from the AF system, as well as the colour and luminance of the scene, to then calculate the correct exposure.
If you're using spot AF, then it can behave a little like spot metering. This is not necessarily a bad thing, and results from the 70D were generally found to be nicely exposed. In some instances though it can deliver an incorrect exposure should you happen to be focusing on an extremely bright or dark area of the frame, but as long as you're aware of this then you'll know how to manage it and, overall, I rarely had to use the exposure compensation control.
With Canon's most populated APS-C sensor to date, the 70D's 20.2MP sensor doesn't disappoint in the resolution stakes. At the camera's base ISO of 100 in our technical testing, the camera manages to resolve around 26lpmm (lines per mm) on our resolution test chart. This is just a little less than the 24.1MP D7100, which achieved 28lpmm at the same ISO.
This decreases to a still strong 20lpmm at the 70D's top end ceiling of ISO 25,600, while in real-world tests, detail rendered in images was very good as lower sensitivities, especially when a top optic was used.
Image noise
With a highly densely populated sensor, there's always a concern how it will handle higher sensitivities, but the 70D performs very well.
Looking at the JPEG files first and results at low sensitivities displayed not signs of noise and good levels of detail. It wasn't until ISO 1600 that a very faint hint of luminance (grain-like) noise became apparent in the shadows of our test scene, with chroma (colour noise) following at ISO 3200, though again, this was very faint in appearance.
Results at ISO 6400 are still very strong and while chroma noise is more noticeable, it's not to the detriment of the image. It's also worth noting that detail remains very good even at these high sensitivities, delivering very useable results that many would be happy with.
Raw files are just as strong too – even at ISO 6400 results displaying hardly any evidence of chroma noise. Luminance noise, while in evidence, is very well controlled and allows files to retain good levels of detail, with ISO 12,800 and 25,600 still more than useable provided you're prepared to control luminance noise in post-processing.

So after a super relaxing Thanksgiving break I have been more or less slapped in the face with stuff to do this week. In fact, this may be the busiest week I have ever experienced… ever! To start off this is Christmas at Luther week, which is always exciting and full of music. I have had two and a half hours of mass (all choirs) on Monday and Tuesday night, along with a six hour rehearsal on Sunday. Tonight is the dress rehearsal so that will be about two and a half hours too. Tomorrow starts the concerts so even more time will be dedicated on those nights as well. On top of the mass rehearsals, Collegiate still meets for the normal rehearsal time, Monday and Wednesday for an hour, which might not seem like a lot but on top of the other rehearsals it's a ton of singing.
Contrary to popular belief, just because it is Christmas at Luther weekend the rest of campus does not stop moving, which means there is still swim practice. Because rehearsals are conveniently scheduled at the same time as practices I, and other singing swimmers, have to go in on our own time to get a workout in. This creates even more tiredness than normal.
And last but not least there are academics! It just so happens that everything scholarly in my life is culminating this week. I have an organic chemistry test on Monday and a lab exam tomorrow, along with a handful of other assignments just for that class. Psychology has a paper due on Friday, but I have yet to receive all the information for it so I cannot start writing the paper, which stinks. And then microbiology has some assignments due as well. So if you cannot tell by reading this I am super-duper stressed out and busy. But soon enough all the work will stop and I will be on break, swimming in San Juan, Puerto Rico! The beach and sun can't come soon enough! Because I am stressed I've posted a picture of me not stress and happy from this summer… no one wants to see a picture of a stressed out college kid.

DBU-Oak Cliff Dinner Honors Jim Palmer and John Clem
May 15, 2013 | by Kalie Lowrie
Dallas, TX – – Dallas Baptist University hosted the 25th Annual DBU-Oak Cliff Partnership Dinner on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, on the DBU campus. During the dinner, the 2013 Good Samaritan Awards were presented to Jim Palmer, founder of the Silver Serenaders of Texas, and John Clem, DBU director of development. Dr. Rose-Mary Rumbley, retired DBU professor, served as the chair of the Advisory Committee. All proceeds from the dinner provide scholarships for students from Oak Cliff who are attending DBU.
Palmer has served as the artistic director for the Silver Serenaders of Texas for 30 years, and was most recently named the artistic director emeritus of the group. He has been very involved in the Oak Cliff Community throughout his lifetime including service as the president of the Oak Cliff Rotary Club, member of the board of directors for the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce, and also acting as a member and ultimately president of the Grace Presbyterian Village Board of Directors.
Clem has served as the coordinator of the DBU-Oak Cliff Good Samaritan dinner for over 20 years. He has faithfully served 31 years at Dallas Baptist University, and is currently the director of development. Since 1992, Clem has graciously been DBU's representative to local veterans groups and the DFW National Cemetery. Previously, he directed the Oak Cliff community affairs for the University, including working with the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce, and the Oak Cliff Rotary and Lions Clubs.

Thursday, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) announced three laboratory-confirmed cases of Vibrio cholerae in individuals who had recently consumed raw shellfish.
"We are working with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and many partners to identify the source of the contaminated shellfish," said Linda Bell, M.D. and state epidemiologist. "We are informing health care providers of the situation and will continue to monitor the state for additional cases."
There is no evidence that the contaminated shellfish originated in the waters of South Carolina.
DHEC is asking local health care providers to watch for people who become sick or show symptoms of Vibrio cholerae after eating raw shellfish. The agency is also notifying South Carolina restaurants of the potential for contaminated shellfish.
"The elderly, young and immune compromised are particularly at risk of developing illness from consuming raw shellfish," said Dr. Bell. "The best way to protect yourself and your family from getting the Vibrio illness is to thoroughly cook all shellfish before eating it."
Symptoms of Vibrio cholerae include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea that begin from a few hours to up to five days after consumption of raw shellfish. The infection is usually mild or without symptoms, but can occasionally be severe. In severe cases, an infected person may experience profuse watery diarrhea and vomiting that can cause dehydration and shock.
Vibrio cholerae is typically spread through food that is contaminated by the bacteria. It is important to note that the bacteria causes gastroenteritis, not cholera.
The agency will continue to work with the FDA and the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate the source of the contaminated shellfish.

The season's first Air Alert is in effect in San Joaquin County from today, Monday, Aug. 19, to Wednesday, Aug. 21, according to San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.
Officials from the district declared the alert to prevent the valley's air basin from exceeding critical ozone, or smog, levels, according to a district press release.
Air Alerts are declared when conditions that lead to ozone formation – increased emissions, high temperatures and stagnant air flow – materialize in the Valley.
The Air Alert is also in effect for Stanislaus, Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare counties and the Valley portion of Kern counties.
Episodes of late-summer high ozone are correlated to back-to-school traffic and increased vehicle idling, according to the district.
Residents are urged to refrain from vehicle idling, carpooling or vanpooling and avoiding drive-through services.
Individuals can reduce their impact on ozone levels by refraining from idling when dropping off/picking up students, carpooling, vanpooling and using alternate transportation, and refraining from using drive-through services, according to the district.
Businesses and municipalities can reduce emissions by shifting operations to early morning or late evening, when ozone levels are lower, offering flexible work schedules, promoting carpools and vanpools for employees, and becoming a Healthy Air Living partner, according to the district.
Increased ozone levels damage the health of valley residents but also risks the possibility of a $29 million federal penalty, according to the district.
To receive Air Alert notifications, call 1-800-766-4463, go online to www.valleyair.org or subscribe to a free, automated email list at http://valleyair.org/list.list.htm.

Understanding The Factors That Influence The Value Of A Practice
- Volume 18 - Issue 4 - April 2005
- 9731 reads
- 0 comments
Practice management. When a practice is well organized, HIPAA- and OSHA-compliant, "insurance company approved" and technologically current, it will sell for a higher price than a practice still catching up with the regulations. Accounts receivable management that limits the total A/R to less than two months worth of billings demonstrates good management that will be rewarded in the sales price.
Special seller characteristics. Sellers who are extremely productive or have a special skill that is impossible to replace may not get the full value for their practice because no doctor can be found to truly replace them. Workaholics who keep the overhead low by making their own orthoses, doing their own payroll, filing their own insurance claims and cutting the grass on weekends will not reap additional rewards during a practice valuation.
Seller's personal goodwill. If the seller cannot stay with the practice during the transition of ownership, the price goes down. A seller who was president of the local chamber of commerce and was voted "Best Podiatrist" in a community survey can probably get more money than the podiatrist who just ran off with the hospital OR nurse and has the PICA phone number on speed dial.
Other Factors To Consider
Office furnishings, equipment, decor and overall image. An updated, attractive, spotless office reflects well on a practice. Tattered upholstery, obsolete equipment and dead flies within the florescent light fixtures tend to lower the price.
Practice name. If the name of the practice is specific to the seller's name, the name will probably have to be changed when the practice is sold. This results in a loss of practice goodwill.
Closing Notes
If you hang around the lobby of a hotel hosting a podiatry conference, you will likely hear talk about a magic formula to ascertain the value of a podiatric medical practice quickly. Usually, this formula is mistakenly expressed as some percentage of the gross income of a practice. Well, the gross income is not as important as the net income and there is no quick and easy calculation to accurately estimate the value of any given practice. There are simply too many variables in the equation.
It is often a good idea to begin with the end in mind. A doctor who opens a podiatry practice will probably want to sell it eventually. Podiatrists should spend significant time designing and developing the systems of their practices to increase operational efficiencies and goodwill. This investment of time and energy will result not only in a higher practice valuation but also in a more enjoyable (and profitable) professional life.
Dr. McDonald is in private practice in Statesboro, Ga. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Podiatric Practice Management and serves on the Education Committee of the Georgia Podiatric Medical Association.

Weekend Sherpa: Kayaking in Tomales Bay
Nearly 15 miles long and about 1 mile wide, Tomales Bay is a finger-shaped waterway burbling with wildlife. Get in the thick of it on a two-hour morning kayak tour with Blue Waters Kayaking. Starting from the Inverness put-in, paddle the western shore over undulating ribbons of thick eel grass, staying on the lookout for lion's mane and moon jellyfish, as well as elusive bat rays. Get up close to granite cliffs cloaked in curious orange algae, and spot Spanish moss—also known as old-man's beard—wisping from the trees. Osprey fly overhead as you glide past Shell Beach, an occasional hangout for great blue herons and snowy egrets. Continue to Pebble Beach where you'll turn around and begin the return journey, this time with views of fist-shaped Black Mountain, and even the eastern peak of Mount Tam. Dippity-doo-ahhhhhs.

New Guidelines Issued For Child Ear Infections
New guidelines are out on ear infections and how to treat them in children. The new guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend several ways to treat the infections based on the child's age and how severe the symptoms are.
The guidelines also have more strict criteria for determining whether a child has an ear infection so doctors should be able to prescribe antibiotics more effectively.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – "I really love wearing high heel shoes. There are times when you feel sleeker, there are times when they empower you," said Bettina Celifie, who always wears high heels.
Powerful now and painful problems later. An orthopedic surgeon says he's concerned that more and more women are asking for trouble, wearing high heels that will bring lasting medical conditions.
"All those pressures get transferred to the forefoot and they cause angulations this way," said Eric Horton, M.D., an Orthopedic Surgeon. "And if our foot is forced to be in a certain confined posture for a long period of time eventually it's going to overload the soft tissues and the joints causing them to misalign."
Dr. Horton, says high heels may be stylish but they can lead to instability and deformity, causing conditions like hammertoes, constricted nerves and bunions...problems that may require corrective surgery. Instead, Dr. Horton suggests avoiding heels over two inches and never more than four hours. If you can't give up the heels, he says at least wear open toe shoes because that will give your foot more room as long as the sides are thick enough to keep your foot snug.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
Olympic torch trouble in Paris makes some European front pages
As we started to look at the U.S. front pages this morning and found much coverage of the Olympic torch relay in Paris beleaguered by protests against host China and its activities in Tibet, we thought that we would check out the European reporting of the fracas. The coverage is there, albeit spottier than we anticipated.
We're not here to second-guess our colleagues, but the one Paris front page we saw, La Tribune, a business daily, had other stories for Page One, while the European edition of The Wall Street Journal published in Brussels, Belgium, felt the violence was worth a Page One photo and story about "Torch protests in Europe anger Chinese globally."
The Kleine Zeitung in Graz, Austria, has a riot-type photo of Paris police in action taking up most of Page One with stories on pages six to eight. De Morgen in Brussels, Belgium, also goes for the police photo and starts the story on Page One, while Hospodarske Noviny in Prague, Czech Republic, has three pictures and a story. In Germany, from Der Taggespiegel in Berlin to the regional Heilbronner Stimme in Heilbronn there are photos and stories about the Olympic torch going out in Paris. Nepszabadsag in Budapest has a Page One photo below the fold with the unmistakable Eiffel Tower showing up clearly. In Italy, it's big news, with pictures, from Corriere della Sera in Milan to La Stampa in Torino. The Basler Zeitung in Basel, Switzerland, and AD in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, used the same photo of the relay runner with one hand on his head and the other holding an empty torch. The Swiss editor labeled the picture "Torch without a flame," but it sounds better in German. Gazeta Wyborcza in Warsaw, Poland, whoops up the story as does SME in Bratislava, Slovakia, while El Mundo in Madrid, Spain, plays the story at the bottom of the page.
As for the mother country, the "unlawful killing" verdict about the death of Princess Diana came in yesterday and nothing can trump a good story about the royal family, which tops the news in the London dailies.

Luke Richardson
Head Coach
Luke Richardson was named head coach of the Binghamton Senators for the 2012-13 season. He becomes the seventh head coach in B-Sens franchise history. Richardson replaces Kurt Kleinendorst, who coached the club the last two seasons.
Richardson, 43, has spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach with his hometown Ottawa Senators. He began his coaching career following his retirement as an active player during 2008-09 campaign, joining the Ottawa coaching staff for the final three months of the season.
In 78 games over parts of two seasons with the Senators, Richardson recorded two goals, nine points and 43 penalty minutes.
The 20-year NHL veteran played in 1,417 career games with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, Philadelphia Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Tampa Bay Lightning and the Senators, scoring 35 goals, 166 assists and recorded 2,055 penalty minutes.
The Ottawa native has added eight assists and 130 penalty minutes in 69 career NHL playoff games.
Richardson was Torontos first pick, seventh overall, in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft.
Richardson and his wife Stephanie have two daughters, Morgan and Daron. Following Darons passing, the communities of both Ottawa and Binghamton reached out compassionately and joined in inspiring conversations and showed support not only for her family, but for all young people who suffer in silence from the pain and stigma of mental Illness.
