Farmers say Eddy County water wells drying up
There are 10 comments on the Carlsbad Current-Argus story from Nov 6, 2012, titled Farmers say Eddy County water wells drying up. In it, Carlsbad Current-Argus reports that:
Farmers and ranchers living in northeast Eddy County are reporting their agriculture and domestic water wells have dried up and are blaming the state's pumping of its augmentation wells at Seven Rivers for their dilemma.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Carlsbad Current-Argus.
#1 Nov 6, 2012
" The water pumped from the state's wells goes into Brantley Reservoir for Carlsbad Irrigation District farmers to draw from."
BS ! I haven't seen any water come down the the river,and very little water going down the canal, so where is that water from state wells going ?
"Dudley Jones, CID manager, said although the state has been pumping water from the augmentation wells, it is pumping considerably less than the threshold of the 2003 Pecos River Settlement Agreement. He said when put into perspective, CID farmers are receiving far less water than their counterparts up stream".
I think the CID is in cahoots with the oil companies.$$$,$$$,$ working for Santa Fe.
#2 Nov 6, 2012
Texas very carefully monitors and records the amount of water they are alloted to receive. Both in the Pecos river system and the Rio Grande. Santa Fe can't just re-distribute it to water tanks that service tanker trucks. For starters there's no infastructure in which to do that with. Water, in mass, is moved down the river system to Texas. Thinking that CID is in "cahoot" with the oil companies is beyond insane. Lady grow a brain already.
#3 Nov 6, 2012
"For starters there's no infastructure in which to do that with".
No infrastructure pipes are pipes ""they can move water just as easily"", there are things called pigs placed in pipes, to separate and clean they can move what ever they want to in pipes including water Texas has figured out they can make more money selling the water to oil companies, instead of sending it to farmers my thinking is Austin and Santa Fe in cahoots with each other, selling water to oil companies.
Don't know who you're trying to bull sh**, water hasn't been sent down the river over three years now.
#4 Nov 6, 2012
calvanis probabably taking all the water for there farms,
#5 Nov 6, 2012
Water has not been sent down the river to Texas in 3 years because New Mexico has built up a credit with Texas. Until that credit is depleted, there will be no water sent to Texas. CID is not selling water to the oilfields nor will they ever. Their allotment of water for the year was 0.9 acre feet - a full allotment would be 3.7. This is due to the drought that has not brought any significant rain or snow melt to fill its reservoirs. CID operates solely on funds assessed to their waterusers and have annual audits to prove it. Before you start shooting off your mouth, you might want to get some facts.
#6 Nov 6, 2012
""This is due to the drought that has not brought any significant rain or snow melt to fill its reservoirs"".
Getting off topic SMOKE > Not Talking About Reservoirs <, talking about groundwater tables and water wells going dry.
Water table being sucked dry, CID is up to no good selling water.
This Corrupt Moneymaking goes all the way to Santa Fe.
#7 Nov 6, 2012
and you believe drought doesn't affect groundwater? "Think Stupid" hit it on the nose...grow a brain already!
#8 Nov 6, 2012
Oil companies will be the last group to be cut off of our water. Wait and see.
#9 Nov 6, 2012
American farmer's daughters equally have been drying up in Middle East. We pay more, send us more. Any price. After all, your Kenyan 'president' promised that you would all become for accommodating once he got past the election.
#10 Nov 7, 2012
The state is going to start mapping the problem wells and getting depth data if possible next week.

Irresponsible shore excursions schedule
Sail Date: December 28, 2015

Traveled As: Family (young children)
Room Type: Balcony
Hello, my name is Jaesung Lee. I booked two shore excursions in Keywest through . But I couldn't participate the second excursion(train & museum) because the first excursion(snokling) took too long time. I saw your promise you're well acquainted with Carnival Cruise itinerary so I believe in you. Furthermore you set a default time for these excursions therefore I booked two schedule. I just follow your email. How can I know how long snokling takes. I politely request refund. I hope I still remain as your customer after this happening. Thank you.

Well, the iPhone 7 is here, so you know what that means. It's time to get a iPhone 7 Wallet Case from jimmyCASE, of course. If you're the type of person who wants to stand out from the crowd and show off your unique sense of style while still having all the practicality and functionality you need, then this is the case for you. Our standard cases are all high-quality pieces of gear, but with the Custom iPhone 7 Wallet Case, you can make it your own.
First, let's dive into the functions and features of this case. One of the biggest reasons to protect your phone is to prevent screen cracking. Unfortunately, many smartphones these days are prone to crack and spiderweb with even minimal force, meaning that you may have to spend even more money on a phone repair. To help prevent this from happening, the Custom iPhone 7 Wallet Case from jimmyCASE will hug your phone tight and keep the screen intact in almost any situation. You can even add "lay on the table" protection so that your device stays pristine for as long as you own it.
To further help you protect your phone, the iPhone 7 Plus Wallet Case is covered in a silicone barrier on the edges to give you a better grip (less chance of your phone falling) and to keep the phone from breaking in a fall. The core is made of mahogany as well, meaning it has a refined look while staying extra durable.
Finally, this being a wallet case, that means you can consolidate your credit cards, ID, and cash to your phone, so you have less chance of losing anything. If you want to go out without a purse or without needing extra pockets, this case has you covered. It can carry up to six cards as well as cash, and the elastic band is designed not to loosen over time.When it comes to customization, you can pick your colors, choosing between stripes or solid hues. Why settle for bland when you can create your own masterpiece? So what are you waiting for? All jimmyCASEs are made proudly in the USA and come with a 30-day risk-free guarantee.
For many years, I carried a wallet in one pocket and my iPhone in another pocket and I wanted to change. My wallet had become a traveling graveyard for receipts, insurance cards – extra bulk I didn't really need. I realized that I really need only 4 cards (ATM, Drivers License, Credit Card, Work Pass) and I was good to go. I made my first jimmyCASE with some elastic and duct tape and strapped it to the back of my iPhone. Within a day, I tossed my old leather wallet in a drawer and I haven't looked back. It was scary for me to simplify and slim out what I carried every day. But now, my life is better, my jeans pockets look better, and I am confident that the cards (and a little cash) I need are always there with me. My iPhone 7 case with card holder is the perfect companion for my active life. If you're thinking you'd like to try living without a traditional wallet, I encourage you to give it a shot. - Dan, jimmyCASE
To beat dirt, we recommend our darker iPhone 7 wallet cases. Think Black and Brown Tweedy. Our lighter fabrics do tend to attract everyday dirt and oils from hands, pockets and surfaces. Over time, they can be difficult to clean. We use K2R dry cleaning spot remover on our fabrics. If we catch the dirt before it gets too ground in, this does a pretty good job. But, we do recommend the darker fabrics to stay cleaner-looking.
When we started making jimmyCASEs for wallet iPhone 5s case, we were happy with the design. But when the iPhone 7 was released we were super-excited to build a case for the new iPhone. The rounded edges of the phone feel better in the hand and we were able to shape the case to reflect the rounded edges. Our bumpers also feature a raised lip for lay-on-the-table protection and improved button functionality. When you look at the case from above you now see more mahogany wood and less bumper framing the wood. We think more wood is good, and we hope you do too.

At Ashmore House... The Lucky Ones Die First... In the town of Marbury, Ashmore house is the hexed mansion where the jealous Abner Ashmore murdered his brother, Sebastian, and his fiancée a century before. When Kevin Cooper, the most popular kid at Eldridge High, and his troublemaking friends venture off to explore the house during Halloween, Victoria, a moral but withdrawn girl, tags along to protect her classmate, Icarus, from being bullied by Kevin and his posse, who manipulate him into going. Soon Victoria and the others become trapped within the house, alone with Abner's murderous ghost. Though Victoria and Kevin are sworn adversaries, they'll have to set their differences aside if they're to save their friends. And through the haunting acts of demonic possession, clairvoyance, and a palette of other deadly horrors, they'll both discover that they have a deeper link to the house; one that will tear the fabric that separates this life from the next.

Horrorstor Quirk
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
It's a classic old-fashioned haunted house story - set in a big box Swedish furniture superstore. Designed like a retail catalogue, Horrorstor offers a creepy read with mass appeal-perfect for Halloween tables! Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland, Ohio. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring wardrobes, shattered Bracken glassware, and vandalized Liripip sofabeds-clearly, someone or something is up to no good. To unravel the mystery, five young employees volunteer for a long dusk-til-dawn shift-and they encounter horrors that defy imagination. Along the way, author Grady Hendrix infuses sly social commentary on the nature of work in the new 21st century economy. A traditional haunted house story in a contemporary setting (and full of contemporary fears), Horrorstor comes conveniently packaged in the form of a retail catalogue, complete with illustrations of ready-to-assemble furniture and other, more sinister accessories.

As many salon owners have told us, it's hard to find all of the perfect little decor details that give a salon its distinctive look and feel. That's why Nick Brown, owner of Velvet Nail Lounge in Troy, Mich., took matters into his own hands and designed a polish rack that exactly fit his vision. Dubbed the Deco Nail Polish Rack, Brown has now made the rack available for sale to other salons via the online store on Velvet Nail Lounge's website. "I came up with the Deco Nail Polish Rack after unsuccessfully looking for decorative nail polish displays. I came up with the design, drew it out, and approached a manufacturer to build it. I have sold several and am currently in the process of expanding the business to include several other designs and colors." The rack is made out of durable acrylic and holds up to 70 bottles.

It's the one thing you can rely on, all the pregnancy books said. That indescribable rush of love when they put the baby on your belly for the first time. Such a hope kept me going through a 20-hour labour and the final nightmare of lying helpless on my back, strapped down with wires, drips and monitors. Yet when they put him on my stomach - blue and covered in slime, saying, "Congratulations! It's a boy!" - all I felt was a dragging weariness and a sickening fear that I'd just made the worst mistake of my life.
The epidural wore off but something stayed frozen. They kept us in for the next two days and nights where I spent my time receiving visitors, telling them how wonderful my baby was and perfecting a rictus grin. The nights were for crying: it was the first thing Louis and I shared together.
We were allowed home but were back in hospital a day later. Louis had severe jaundice. He lay kicking and screaming under a UV lamp in the children's ward. I could take him out for 15 minutes, twice a day. It must be awful, visitors said, not being able to cuddle your new baby. The truth was worse: I didn't want to cuddle him. I wanted to walk out of the hospital, down the dual carriageway until my legs gave way.
We were sent home four days later. Louis was fine. Seeing the grief-lined faces of other parents in the children's ward should have taught me a lesson. I was lucky to have a healthy baby and to be healthy myself. But I wasn't grateful. Clearly, there was something wrong with me. The only logical answer was this: I was a terrible mother. So the glass wall came down, an invisible barrier between the world and what I really felt inside.
In my usual, efficient way, I went about carefully constructing my new reality: Louis cried because he hated me, not because he was a tiny baby; a friend cancelled a visit not because she was ill, but because she didn't like me; I couldn't go to mother and baby groups because other mothers would sense I was unnatural. The internal logic of depression meant every action people took was somehow proof I was unworthy of being a mother.
I imagined how my husband would feel if I told him I didn't love his son. The feelings of guilt made me choke. I became a robot. I read Louis stories, took him for walks, bathed him, fed him, sang to him. The health visitor asked how I was. I lied, she signed me off. Simple. How clever I was.
I should have known I couldn't keep up the smiles. After six months, the tears came and wouldn't stop. My husband insisted I go to the GP. "You have postnatal depression," the doctor said. "And trauma from the birth. Do you want to try drugs?" I was too scared. He said he'd refer me for counselling. My health visitor came round and told me about the Anna Freud Centre in north London. They had a group for mothers having problems bonding with their babies. Would I be interested?
The group met in a big, light room in an old Victorian house - five mothers, five babies. Having our babies gurgling and playing seemed to break the ice. At first, I just listened. Then I started to talk in half-jokes. I'd be the McMurphy of the group. No psychiatrist would get the better of me. That went out the window the first day I talked about the birth. I cried uncontrollably.
Slowly, my thinking began to change. To this day, I'm not sure how or why. We didn't seem to do much more in sessions than talk. Perhaps it was just having that space to say the unsayable - and to hear it - without being condemned. I don't love my baby. I wish I'd never given birth. I want to throw him out of the window.
Two months after I started going to the centre, Louis did something he'd never done before - he rolled from his back to his belly and gave a huge grin of pride. For the first time, I felt something for my son, something that wasn't guilt or misery. Love? I wasn't sure, but something had shifted in me. As I forgave myself more, I found myself capable of feeling more.
Louis is three now and the centre of my world. I'll never really know why I couldn't love him. I'll have another chance at it when I give birth to my second this autumn. Maybe it'll go wrong again, I've got no way of knowing. But this time I do have more support. At least I know now that birth isn't the be-all and end-all. It's only the beginning.

car accident allowing unlicensed driver to drive in NJ
Question Details:
L.M., Member, California Bar / FreeAdvice Contributing Attorney Answered 7 years ago| Contributor
Not sure what it is you are asking. If your question is, is an unlicensed driver is involved in a car accident, is he responsible for the accident, the answer is, it depends. The fact that he is unlicensed has nothing to do with responsiblility for the accident. If he, for example, rearends someone, he is liable with or without a license. If he is rearended by someone else, he is not liable. The person who hit him is. The lack of a license is immaterial to the cause of the accident.

Superheated Roof! (120+)
I'm not sure if any of you have ever been to my part of the world during the summers...I don't advise you to.
Unless you're a camel with plenty of sunblock.
We get temperatures over 48C (120F) in the shade for a couple of months. So imagine a black Jeep in direct sunlight. :eek:
Who can tell me of a decent roof insulation/noise dampening product that has been tested already? (Any Death Valley or Mojave folks out there?!)
This should help you.
If you remove the top and store it in a refridgerated warehouse it will stay very cool.
Paint it white.
I spent plenty of time in Kuwait back in 90-91. I'm guessing that it's a much nicer place today.
We use the hothead headliners for the last summer here in Vegas.
Hothead liners, as mentioned above. Not sure if you can get em there, but...
- Home
There's also a version made by Boom Mat, I believe.
Other than painting the roof white, my research resulted in Hot Head or Boom mats
190 Attachment(s)
FJ cruisers and Mini coopers have white roofs and body color sides and I personally don't think they look that bad. You could paint just the top of the roof white. If you don't want to see it, you could leave the outer inch of the roof black and the jeep is tall enough, no one would really notice. That would cut down on heat absorption
Lizardskin is a good product to look into, they use it on engine bays for drag cars and it's what I plan on lining my hardtop with
Thanks for the responses everyone I think I'll go for the homemade version. Nothing wrong with mom's oven mitts with the flowers on them...
This will be my first summer owning my jeep in Texas. 110 isnt that far from 120, interested to see how bad it is.
I'm debating about putting some white Plastidip on top of my roof if need be, though I hope to make it through the summer without the top. My though is if I need the hard top to keep cool I'd paint the top about 1 1/2" from the outside edge so it's not very visible and use the Plastidip so I could remove it if I didn't like it.
I read someplace the folks that sell the Hothead liners shipped to somebody in Indonesia so shipping to you shouldn't be much of a problem.

CINCINNATI, Jul 26, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Chemed Corporation (Chemed) (NYSE:CHE),which operates VITAS Healthcare Corporation (VITAS), the nation's largest provider of end-of-life care, and Roto-Rooter, the nation's largest commercial and residential plumbing and drain cleaning services provider, reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2011, versus the comparable prior-year period, as follows:
Consolidated operating results:
VITAS segment operating results:
Roto-Rooter segment operating results:
Net revenue for VITAS was $243 million in the second quarter of 2011, which is an increase of 7.3% over the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of Medicare Cap, revenue increased 7.4%. This revenue growth was the result of increased ADC of 5.8%, driven by an increase in admissions of 6.0%, combined with Medicare price increases of approximately 2.1%. This growth was partially offset by geographic and level of acuity mix shift of the patient base.
Average revenue per patient per day in the quarter, excluding the impact of Medicare Cap, was $200.99, which is 1.6% above the prior-year period. Routine home care reimbursement and high acuity care averaged $158.67 and $696.00, respectively, per patient per day in the second quarter of 2011. During the quarter, high acuity days of care were 7.9% of total days of care, 20 basis points lower than the prior-year quarter.
In the second quarter of 2011, VITAS recorded a Medicare Cap liability of $368,000. This compares with a reversal of $35,000 of Medicare Cap recorded in the second quarter of 2010. The 2011 Medicare Cap liability relates to one small hospice program.
Of VITAS' 36 unique Medicare provider numbers, 33 provider numbers have a Medicare Cap cushion of 10% or greater during the trailing twelve-month period. Two provider numbers have a Medicare Cap cushion of less than 10% and one small program has a modest Medicare Cap liability. VITAS generated an aggregate Medicare Cap cushion of $222 million, or 25%, during the trailing twelve-month period.
The second quarter of 2011 gross margin, excluding the impact of Medicare Cap, was 22.0%, which is a decline of 68 basis points from the second quarter of 2010. This decline in margin is a result of increased costs related to the newly mandated physician visit for recertification, expansion of our community liaison program, as well as costs associated with our continued expansion of inpatient units.
Selling, general and administrative expense was $19.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, which is an increase of 7.2% when compared to the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $33.9 million in the quarter, an increase of 2.5% over the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin, excluding the impact from Medicare Cap, was 14.1% in the quarter which was 51 basis points below the prior-year quarter.
Roto-Rooter's plumbing and drain cleaning business generated sales of $90.3 million for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 2.2% over the prior-year quarter. This revenue growth was the result of a combination of selective price increases and favorable mix shift to higher value jobs, partially offset by a slight decline in aggregate job count.
Unit for unit job count in the second quarter of 2011 decreased 1.6% when compared to the prior-year period. During the second quarter of 2011, total residential jobs decreased 3.4%, as residential plumbing jobs decreased 1.3% and residential drain cleaning jobs decreased 4.5%, when compared to the second quarter of 2010. Residential jobs represented 71% of total job count in the quarter. Total commercial jobs increased 3.1%, with commercial plumbing/excavation job count increasing 3.6% and commercial drain cleaning increasing 3.5% when compared to the prior-year quarter. The "All Other" residential and commercial job category decreased 8.8%.
Roto-Rooter's gross margin was 45.0% in the quarter, an 18 basis point decline when compared to the second quarter of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $15.8 million, an increase of 4.4%, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.5% in the quarter, an increase of 37 basis points, when compared to the prior-year quarter.
Roto-Rooter continues to have periodic discussions with existing franchisees to acquire franchise territories. Management will be highly disciplined in terms of valuation, risk assessment and overall return on investment of any potential acquisition. The timing or actual completion of any acquisition cannot be predicted.
Chemed Consolidated Debt and Cash Flows
Chemed had total debt of $163 million at June 30, 2011. This debt is net of the discount taken as a result of convertible debt accounting requirements. Excluding this discount, aggregate debt is $187 million and is due in May 2014. Chemed's total debt equates to less than one times trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA.
In March 2011 Chemed replaced its existing credit facility with a new Credit Agreement. Terms of this Credit Agreement consist of a five-year $350 million revolving credit facility. The interest rate on this Credit Agreement has a floating rate that is currently LIBOR plus 175 basis points. This Credit Agreement provides Chemed with increased flexibility in terms of acquisitions, share repurchases, dividends and other corporate needs. In addition, an expansion feature is included in this Credit Agreement that provides Chemed the opportunity to increase its revolver and/or enter into term loans for an additional $150 million. At June 30, 2011, this facility had approximately $321 million of undrawn borrowing capacity after deducting $29 million for letters of credit issued to secure the Company's workers' compensation insurance.
Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2011 aggregated $15.0 million and compares to depreciation and amortization during the same period of $14.8 million.
The Company increased its quarterly dividend from $0.12 to $0.14 per share in the third quarter of 2010. In addition, the company has purchased $21.8 million, or 341,513 shares, of Chemed stock in the first six months of 2011. Approximately $97.4 million is remaining under Chemed's previously announced share repurchase program. Management will continually evaluate cash utilization alternatives, including share repurchase, debt repurchase, acquisitions and increased dividends to determine the most beneficial use of available capital resources.
Guidance for 2011
VITAS expects to achieve full-year 2011 revenue growth, prior to Medicare Cap, of 7.5% to 8.5%. Admissions in 2011 are estimated to increase approximately 6.5% to 7.0% and full-year Adjusted EBITDA margin, prior to Medicare Cap, is estimated to be 15.3% to 15.8%. Effective October 1, 2010, Medicare increased the average hospice reimbursement rates by approximately 2.1%. Consistent with prior years, our guidance assumes VITAS will incur an additional $2.5 million of estimated Medicare contractual billing limitations for the remainder of 2011.
Roto-Rooter expects to achieve full-year 2011 revenue growth of 6.5% to 8.5%. The revenue estimate is a result of increased pricing of approximately 3.0%, a favorable mix shift to higher revenue jobs, with job count growth estimated at 0% to 2%. Adjusted EBITDA margin for 2011 is estimated in the range of 17.0% to 18.0%.
Based upon the above, management estimates 2011 earnings per diluted share, excluding non-cash expense for stock options, the non-cash interest expense related to the accounting for convertible debt and other items not indicative of ongoing operations, will be in the range of $4.70 to $4.80. This compares to Chemed's 2010 adjusted earnings per diluted share of $4.17.
Conference Call
Chemed will host a conference call and webcast at 10 a.m., ET, on Wednesday, July 27, 2011, to discuss the Company's quarterly results and to provide an update on its business. The dial-in number for the conference call is (866) 804-6924 for U.S. and Canadian participants and (857) 350-1670 for international participants. The participant passcode is 87701622.

Chemed Corporation operates in the healthcare field through its VITAS Healthcare Corporation subsidiary. VITAS provides daily hospice services to approximately 13,000 patients with severe, life-limiting illnesses. This type of care is focused on making the terminally ill patient's final days as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
Chemed operates in the residential and commercial plumbing and drain cleaning industry under the brand name Roto-Rooter. Roto-Rooter provides plumbing and drain service through company-owned branches, independent contractors and franchisees in the United States and Canada. Roto-Rooter also has licensed master franchisees in Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, and the Philippines.
This press release contains information about Chemed's EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS, which are not measures derived in accordance with GAAP and which exclude components that are important to understanding Chemed's financial performance. In reporting its operating results, Chemed provides EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS measures to help investors and others evaluate the Company's operating results, compare its operating performance with that of similar companies that have different capital structures and evaluate its ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Chemed's management similarly uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS to assist it in evaluating the performance of the Company across fiscal periods and in assessing how its performance compares to its peer companies. These measures also help Chemed's management to estimate the resources required to meet Chemed's future financial obligations and expenditures. Chemed's EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We calculated Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by service revenue and sales. A reconciliation of Chemed's net income to its EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS is presented in the tables following the text of this press release.

Service revenues and sales
Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Roto-Rooter segment expenses all advertising, including the cost of telephone directories, immediately upon the initial release of the advertising. Telephone directories are generally in circulation 12 months. If a directory is in circulation for a time period greater or less than 12 months, the publisher adjusts the directory billing for the change in billing period. The timing of when a telephone directory is published can and does fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. This "direct expensing" results in significant fluctuations in quarterly advertising expense. In the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, GAAP advertising expense for Roto-Rooter totaled $5,304,000 and $5,501,000, respectively. If the expense of the telephone directories were spread over the periods they are in circulation, advertising expense for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 would total $5,911,000 and $6,180,000, respectively.
Similarly, for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, GAAP advertising expense for Roto-Rooter totaled $11,222,000 and $11,236,000, respectively. If the expense of the telephone directories were spread over the periods they are in circulation, advertising expense for the first six months of 2011 and 2010 would total $12,079,000 and $12,304,000, respectively.
VITAS has 7 large (greater than 450 ADC), 17 medium (greater than 200 but less than 450 ADC) and 30 small (less than 200 ADC) hospice programs. There are 3 programs as of June 30, 2011, with Medicare cap cushion of less than 10% for the most recent 12-month period.

The weird humour of growing up in a grow op.
|"Growing Op" is about a teenager named Quinn (Steven Yaffee) struggling with growing up, dealing with his parents, meeting girls and trying to fit-in in high school—and this is on top of living in a marijuana grow house, being home-schooled by his mother and not actually knowing any kids his age. (But as Dad says to Quinn, "You can use the internet, it's perfect for social exiles like yourself.")

Katie Price has her fingers in many proverbial pies. In fact, probably a few actual ones she has left over from the Iceland advert days. Or was that Kerry Katona? They're the same person, I think.
Not content with just being a famous model, author, reality star and serial bride, she now wants to be the female version of Louis Theroux. Obviously.
Speaking at Advertising Week in London, Price claimed to be obsessed with criminology, and people in prison.
She said:
My dream job would be a detective or something like that.
Go and interview, like, rapists and serial killers and all that shit.
It'd be quite a career change for her, but stranger things have happened. Like last year, when she spoke to Oscar Pistorius during his trial, and said she would love to interview him.
Louis Theroux is an absolute idol of mine to be honest, and I don't think any telly documentary maker has come close to him, but I would definitely watch Katie Price attempt it. Just for a laugh.
She's definitely keen:
I want to get into their brains to see what makes them tick.
I'm so into all that, the human brain. I love it.
Imagine her dealing with some of the awkward moments that Louis has over the years.

Helping people with psychiatric disabilities 'live like everyone else' often means – in addition to addressing the educational, employment, and housing needs of consumers – also more seriously considering the role that religion and spirituality have for those with psychiatric disability. The needs for religious connections has often been overlooked by the mental health community, but consumers are increasingly saying that this 'domain' of life is as important to them as any other
And why not: religious and spiritual involvements are often key components of community life, as they can be a source of hope, emotional and social support, and a tool for coping. Almost all (96%) of the U.S. population say they believe in God or a universal spirit; 90% report they pray; and 43% attend religious services either weekly or more often (Princeton Religion Research Center, 1996; Fallot, 1998). This level of commitment is similar among individuals with psychiatric disabilities: Kroll and Sheehan (1998) surveyed one hundred consumers and found that 94% indicated a belief in God or higher power and 70% said they were "moderately," "considerably," or "very" religious.
Attending to the religious needs of consumers may sometimes be especially important to members of minority groups. Hispanics and African Americans, for instance, are more likely to seek help for their problems through the clergy. For many minority communities, such as the African American community, there is evidence that clergy are consulted more frequently than other professionals for help with personal problems, yet treatment referrals are not typical (Solomon, 1990; Taylor et al, 2000).
The Role of Religion and Spirituality in Recovery
Religion and spirituality are often associated with recovery. This is often true for those deal with substance abuse problems, in part because religion and spirituality are associated with the popularity and success of 12-step programs. Sullivan (1993) found that 48% of respondents indicated that spirituality, which was defined broadly, was important in their recovery from their addictions. Those with serious psychiatric disabilities also frequently rely upon religion to see them through: in one survey, consumers listed the following as some of the reasons for their commitment to religion and spirituality: strength for coping; social support; a sense of coherence; and the feeling of being a "whole person." In Lindgren and Coursey's (1995) study, 74% of the participants said that religion or spirituality helped when they were ill.
Further, from the perspective of the community inclusion movement, the religious community offers an abundance of opportunities for connection. Certainly, social groups and opportunities within an area's churches and synagogues and mosques offer a wonderful opportunity to 'live like everyone else' and participate in the life of the community with a framework of one's faith. At the same time, religious organizations have also proven themselves remarkably response to the needs of disabled and disadvantaged groups, and can often be counted on – if offered the right supports and services – to extend themselves to include people with psychiatric disabilities in ways that other social organizations may find more difficult. Finally, the 'social responsibility' mission of many religious groups offer an opportunity for the individual with a psychiatric disability to 'give back' to his or her community, being part of an altruistic endeavor.
Although many agree that religion and spirituality can be an important part of the recovery process, there is less agreement about the role it should play in therapy/treatment. Fallot (1998) points to the need for greater consideration of spirituality in programming for individuals with a serious mental illness. Bussema & Bussema (2000) found that participants' faith stories lacked the emotional and social support typically gained from religious communities. Instead, most individuals reported they depend primarily on their peer support networks within the rehabilitation system. This raises concerns because both the religious community and mental health service providers often overlook religious and spiritual needs of individuals with psychiatric disabilities.
Key Questions for Consideration
The following are some questions that people who are in a position to assist people with mental illnesses might consider as part of their professional responsibilities.
For Mental Health Service Providers
- How can we address the religious or spiritual needs of consumers in treatment?
- What religious institutions exist in the community that could be a resource for our consumers?
- Are these religious institutions aware of the services we offer?
- Are the local clergy knowledgeable about the needs and interests of people with psychiatric disabilities? If not, how can we address this need?
For Church and Spiritual Leaders
- Are we meeting the needs of all the members of our community?
- Would members of our community feel comfortable approaching us with mental health concerns?
- What mental health services are available for members of our community?
- How can we form a link with mental health service providers to be sure that individuals with psychiatric disabilities in our community are getting all their needs met, in particular, their religious and spiritual needs?
For Individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities and Their Families
- How can my community be more helpful in dealing with adult relatives who have a serious mental illness?
- What type of community treatment can meet my spiritual needs as well as my mental health needs?
- How involved do you want your spiritual community to be in your mental health treatment?
- In what ways would accessing information about mental health treatment be helpful to you and your community?

One for the road: Breakthrough claimed with pot-booze breathalyzer
By Natalie Grover
Dec 2 (Reuters) - An Oakland company working with scientists from the University of California at Berkeley is claiming a breakthrough in the race to develop an instant roadside marijuana breathalyzer.
Hound Labs Inc, whose device is also uniquely designed to double up as an alcohol breathalyzer, is among a handful of companies and researchers hoping to capitalize on increasingly relaxed marijuana laws in the United States.
Hound Labs said on Wednesday it had found an accurate way to measure THC - the psychoactive component in cannabis - within one or two blows. The portable device is designed to help determine if a driver is impaired from recent marijuana use.
The idea is to replace a complicated assortment of costly blood and urine tests that can take days to get a result and cannot distinguish between recent and chronic use.
While 23 states have eased access to marijuana for medical use and four, plus Washington, D.C., allow recreational use, cannabis remains prohibited under federal law.
New Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has also promised to legalize marijuana for recreational use.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said earlier this year that while cannabis impairs psychomotor skills and cognitive function, not enough is known about how much is needed to affect driving performance.
But some states are not waiting to reach a consensus on how much THC is too much to drive. Continued...

London, Nov 28 : 'Bend it Like Beckham' star Parminder Nagra is expecting her first child with photographer boyfriend James Stenson, according to reports.
The 33-year-old Brit, who plays Dr. Neela Rasgotra in 'ER', is currently shooting the last ever season of the hit drama.
And sources claim her alleged pregnancy won't be written into the storyline. Instead, as her tummy grows, it'll be hidden from camera.
"Parminder is thrilled beyond belief," the Daily Express quoted an insider, as telling the National Enquirer.
"But with the show in its last season, she doesn't want to take anything away from the fanfare. She's happy to be filmed standing behind counters. Viewers won't have a clue. The big lab coats and gurneys will be hiding her belly," the insider added.
A rep for Nagra has yet to confirm the reports.

I am about to do something silly, in the estimation of the Justice Secretary, Chris Grayling. I am not going to vote on Thursday in the elections for the nation's first police and crime commissioners. When Ian Blair, the former head of Scotland Yard, suggested that voters boycott these unnecessary and counter-productive polls he was told by Mr Grayling that his advice was "silly". I disagree, which is why, for the first time in my adult life, I will be spoiling my ballot paper.
Lord Blair, of course, could be dismissed as a man with a personal grievance. After all, he was sacked as head of the Metropolitan Police by the man who was, in effect, the prototype elected police commissioner, the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. But my objections are both principled and pragmatic.
Anyone who has spent any time in the US is aware of the dangers of politicising policing. I was in Huntsville, Texas, once when the local sheriff was running for re-election by demanding the execution of an unpopular character on death row who – after the lethal injection was administered – turned out to be innocent.
Anyone who thinks we Brits wouldn't go in for such gun-toting populism should look at the TV ads the Government has been running to frighten the nation into voting. Yobs punch commuters. Fly-tippers scream abuse. A car wing mirror is kicked off. We live in a wild and dangerous place, the message screeches, and we need to do something about it. Crime has been down in recent years but the fear of crime will suffice.
There are all manner of problems with a police force controlled by a politician who trades on fear to get re-elected. The crimes about which voters get most passionate are not always the most damaging or dangerous. Domestic violence, sex trafficking and organised crime are not so visible as youths on street corners. Social scientists reveal that neighbourhoods where crime is highest are also those where people are least likely to turn out to vote. That will create subliminal pressure to concentrate policing in more middle-class areas.
Ministers know all this but happily subordinate it to the shallow populism we saw at the last Tory conference, where Theresa May touted the idea that we should let victims choose the punishment meted out to criminals – a dangerous step towards vigilantism in violation of the ancient judicial principle that a crime does not just hurt its immediate victim but damages the very social fabric. That is why society, rather than individuals, enacts justice and exacts punishment.
No one disputes that the British police need to be made more accountable. The names Hillsborough, Orgreave, Stephen Lawrence, Jean Charles de Menezes and Ian Tomlinson, as well as the evidence before Leveson, constitute a lamentable litany. But will a single elected commissioner hold a chief constable to account better than a police authority of 17 local worthies, magistrates and councillors representing all political parties?
There is far greater risk with elected commissioners that a crafty chief constable will be able to pull the wool over the eyes of a single individual, or develop too cosy a relationship, or lock horns in a power-struggle. The notion that the commissioner will be responsible for strategy and the chief constable for operational matters will cause all kinds of confusion. And how can one commissioner represent as many as a million people in a force area of up to 21 parliamentary constituencies?
That is not all. The size of that task means that almost all candidates come from the main political parties. Independents have had difficulty raising the £5,000 election deposit and do not have the resources to campaign across such huge areas, especially since the Government has refused to finance a mailshot from them to voters, telling them instead to use the internet, effectively disenfranchising the seven million elderly and rural folk the Electoral Commission says do not have regular online access.
Party-political commissioners will increase the likelihood that police chiefs might discourage political investigations into cash-for-honours, cash-for-access or MPs' expenses. No wonder 60 per cent of voters say they do not want party politicians in charge of the police.
And there are murkier influences, such as the candidate in Lincolnshire who resigned after claims he was supported by right-wing US lobbyists, and firms backing the outsourcing of police work to private companies. Another has been financially supported by a trade union that represents thousands of police civilian staff. That could create conflicts of interest if a force must decide on the balance of civilians versus officers.
Improving police integrity is a matter of changing cultures, not systems. Spending £75m on this new system at a time of austerity is a mad diversion from the much tougher task in hand. The only way the public can ram that fact home to the Government is by not voting, a tactic with which, it seems, many others agree: the Electoral Reform Society predicts a turn-out of just 18.5 per cent – a percentage Tory ministers would proclaim as illegitimate if so few voted in a union strike ballot. Perhaps, for once, the old anarchist slogan makes perfect political sense: Don't vote; it only encourages them.

El Nino threatens to return, hit global food production
* Some weather agencies say could see El Nino in 2014
* Would cause floods in some places, drought elsewhere
* That would disrupt production of key foods, pushing up prices
By Lewa Pardomuan
SINGAPORE, Feb 21 (Reuters) - The El Nino weather pattern that can trigger drought in some parts of the world while causing flooding in others is increasingly likely to return this year, hitting production of key foods such as rice, wheat and sugar.
El Nino - the Spanish word for boy - is a warming of sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific that occurs every four to 12 years. The worst on record in the late 1990s killed more than 2,000 people and caused billions of dollars in damage.
A strong El Nino can wither crops in Australia, Southeast Asia, India and Africa when other parts of the globe such as the U.S. Midwest and Brazil are drenched in rains.
While scientists are still debating the intensity of a potential El Nino, Australia's Bureau of Meteorology and the U.S. Climate Prediction Center have warned of increased chances one will strike this year.
Last month, the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization said there was an "enhanced possibility" of a weak El Nino by the middle of 2014. Continuación...

Suite No. 3 in C major, BWV 1009
Composed c. 1720, 21 minutes
The C-major Suite takes us on the sunny side of the street, warmly sensuous with the resonance of the instrument's open strings. The Prelude is almost entirely in continuous, even 16th notes, piling up pealing arpeggiated chords over pedal tones — 16 bars over the open G string at one point — until grand rhetorical silences are needed to let the accumulated resonance, psychic as much as sonic, dissipate.
The Allemande is equally radiant and joyfully vigorous, like the leaping Courante. Both also pick up the Prelude's opening key-defining gambit of a descending two-octave scale and/or arpeggio. The rich and spacious Sarabande flirts with the dark side, landing solidly in the remote key of D minor in the middle of its extended second section. The rustic Bourrées are earthy and good-natured, while the exuberant Gigue is sly and playful, teeming with rhythmic games.

Suite No. 4 in E-flat major, BWV 1012
Composed c. 1720, 24 minutes
The Fourth Suite is one of the warmest and simplest at the surface, but rich in contrast and subtext. The Prelude, for example, begins with placidly falling broken chords, almost beatific in its inwardness and regularity. But the chords gradually become more dissonant and simply reversing the downward motion increases the tension dramatically, until a descending bass line under four bars of G-minor crashes onto a raised sixth. The second half of the Prelude struggles to work itself back from this point, breaking out into roulades of swirling and twirling 16th notes that contend the rest of the movement with the broken chords, like Art Tatum tiring of a Czerny etude.
The Allemande flows elegantly with just enough rhythmic step to keep its dance origin in mind — and in gently tapping toes. The volatile, highly kinetic Courante varies its 8th note patterns with volleys of 16ths and gigue-like triplets. As in all of the suites, the Sarabande is the emotional center. Here though, it is tender and exquisitely refined rather than pained or otherworldly, characterized by its aristocratic dotted rhythms and mellow harmony.
The vigorous Bourrées are probably the best-known portions of this Suite as excerpts. The first is zesty and athletic, the miniature second one an affecting contrast with a hesitating, syncopated gait. The concluding Gigue is as earthy and robustly muscled as the first Bourrée and even more intricately patterned in its 12/8 moto perpetuo flights.

Suite No. 5 in C minor, BWV 1011
Composed c. 1720, 25 minutes
For Bach, C minor was a key for pain and suffering, and this is the toughest and most serious of the suites. (Bach also arranged this Suite for lute, BWV 995.) Bach further darkens the sonority with a scordatura tuning, lowering the top A string to G. The Prelude is in two parts, the opening gravely ceremonial in the French style and duple meter, followed by a gigue-like dance in triple meter. But this is a dance of death, relentlessly pushed to a crushing climax on a diminished seventh chord, before finding its chromatic way to the safe haven of C major. The Allemande continues this heroic epic, with multiple-stopped chords on most downbeats anchoring the struggle. The Courante is also weighty in the French manner and also rooted by dense multiple-stopped chords.
In the Sarabande, however, there are no multiple stops, and the steady rhythmic movement is almost placid. But the haunted harmonies implied by this entirely linear piece are achingly dissonant, and the line is stressed almost to breaking by disjunct leaps. Multiple stops return with the stamping tread of the first Gavotte, in clear contrast to the flowing triplets of the second Gavotte. In the bumptious Gigue, some unsettling rhythmic irregularities to remind us of the past struggles.

Suite No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1008
Composed c. 1720, 20 minutes
The somber darkness — serious, not operatically dramatized — that characterizes the Suite No. 2 is immediately apparent in flowing, asymmetrically patterned music. Bach uses actual sequences sparingly, as linear intensifiers, preferring to manipulate small motifs such as the opening rising triad, which is strikingly expanded about a two-thirds of the way through, leading to a pause on a dominant seventh chord. The ensuing bars are basically an interrupted cadence chromatically elaborated, with an emphatic chordal close. The stately Allemande that follows also plays with rhythmic variations, although without the Prelude's sense of suspended time. The vigorous Courante is even more clock-bound, reveling in kinetically measured, corporeal time: the music of the spheres as celestial ballet.
Again, the Sarabande is not just the chronological center, but also the emotional and spiritual pivot. Here it is the most transcendent, soul-plumbing movement, but also the most physically embodied in double (and triple) stopping and ornamentation. The first Menuetto picks up that physicality with solemn gusto, firmly rooted in chordal harmony and dance accents. The light, bright Menuetto II is in D major, and Bach emphasizes the contrasting mode immediately, beginning with a trill on F-sharp.
As robust — even joyful — and unbuttoned as music in D minor can probably be, the final Gigue audibly guides dancing feet while quickening hearts. It is the most recursively sequenced music in the Suite and the most extrovert, zestily absorbed in the moment.

Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007
Composed c. 1720, 18 minutes
Like the C-major Suite, the one in G gets many of its motivic impulses and gestural tricks from exploitation of the cello's open strings. This is immediately apparent in the rocking Prelude, its first bars swinging over the open G string. Bach drives the movement to its emphatic final cadence with a tight dance around the open A string, which he unbuttons in a variation of the opening passage, now over the dominant D string.
The Allemande is gracious and flowing, in contrast with the playful bounce of the Courante. This is the shortest of the Suites, and its Sarabande is uncommonly compact. But Bach packs a fully evolved harmonic world into just two eight-bar phrases, a richly detailed world that spins on a characteristically Bachian spiritual axis. The first of the Menuettos is a blithely leaping affair. Its partner, however flips to the minor mode with elegant restraint. To close, Bach offers a seemingly conventional take on an Italian gigue. But its second section is expanded with harmonic detours and feet-baffling rhythmic hiccoughs.

Suite No. 6 in D major, BWV 1012
Composed c. 1720, 28 minutes
The dimensions of the suites gradually increase, and the last of them was also written for an unusual five-string cello. The range and sonority of this instrument is immediately apparent in the Prelude, which Anna Magdalena needed three different clefs to notate. It rolls grandly in a swinging 12/8, with richly resonant open strings, for 78 measures before exploding in a torrent of 16th notes. This subsides into four bars over open dominant and tonic pedals — a drum solo, as near as possible on strings — which leads into a series a crunched chords, and a wide-ranging coda. This is very physical, tactile music, but also music with extravagant aspirations.
Bach follows this very sensuous movement with a sumptuously elegant Allemande, much more song than dance. It does have imposing chords (some of them quadruple-stopped) that anchor its meter to a slow, solemn tread, but the space between is filled with one of Bach's fine-spun, long-spanned, lavishly ornamented cantilenas. The Courante, with its obsessive fanfare motto, reminds us that in Baroque music D major was the key of trumpets and triumph. But like the Prelude, its energies overflow into waves of 16ths, like a chuckle becoming slightly hysterical laughter.
The most fully harmonized, multi-stopped movement in all six suites, the ensuing Sarabande continues the emphasis on sonority and physicality, with the clearest articulation of the traditional sarabande rhythm, its stress on the second beat. And here it is also expressed as a wonderfully poised, big-tune love song. But that is only the first eight measures. The second "half" of this binary dance is three times as long, and touched with pain as well as tenderness, intensified with sighing sequences.
The Gavottes are firmly rooted dance music, the first an odd mix of the stately and the lumpish in its heavy steps, the second a lighter contrast in the musette style with an echoed passage over a tonic drone. The athletic Gigue is equally earthy, reveling in off-kilter little rhythmic and harmonic jabs. Like the Prelude and Courante, it frequently bursts into exuberant swirls of excited 16ths.

In performances marked by intensity, sensitivity, and a wholehearted immersion in each of the works she interprets, American cellist Alisa Weilerstein has long proven herself to be in possession of a distinctive musical voice. An exclusive recording artist for Decca Classics since 2010, she is the first cellist to be signed by the prestigious label in more than 30 years. In 2011 she was awarded a 2011 MacArthur "genius grant" Fellowship.
The 2015-16 season saw Ms. Weilerstein give world premiere performances of two major new concertos, both of them commissioned from leading composers and written especially for her. With the Chicago Symphony she gave the world premiere of Pascal Dusapin's new concerto, titled Outscape. Similarly, with the composer on the podium, she premiered Matthias Pintscher's concerto with the Danish National Orchestra. The cellist's full concerto lineup also featured works of Shostakovich, Dutilleux, Tchaikovsky, Haydn and Barber, performing with such ensembles as the Czech Philharmonic; Bavarian Radio, London and National symphonies; Orchestre de Paris; and Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. Following the October 2014 release of their duo album debut on Decca with sonatas by Chopin and Rachmaninoff, Ms. Weilerstein reunited with her longtime recital partner, pianist Inon Barnatan, for tours of the U.S. and of seven European capitals, including a return to London's Wigmore Hall.
For her first album on the Decca label, Weilerstein recorded the Elgar and Elliott Carter cello concertos with Daniel Barenboim and the Staatskapelle Berlin; the disc was named "Recording of the Year 2013" by BBC Music and earned her a cover story of its May 2014 issue. Her second Decca release, on which she plays Dvorák's Cello Concerto with the Czech Philharmonic, topped the U.S. classical chart in summer 2014. Her third was a compilation of unaccompanied 20th-century cello music titled Solo.
Ms. Weilerstein discovered her love for the cello at just 2 ½, when her grandmother assembled a makeshift set of instruments from cereal boxes to entertain her while she was ill with chicken pox. Although immediately drawn to the Rice Krispies box cello, Weilerstein soon grew frustrated that it didn't produce any sound. After persuading her parents to buy her a real cello at the age of four, she developed a natural affinity for the instrument and gave her first public performance six months later. Her website is alisaweilerstein.com.
