Computed tomographic (CT) scans are acknowledged as some of the most effective means of early detection for certain forms of illness. In recent years, however, there has been an increased amount of attention paid to the radiation risks inherent in CT scans. Medical research indicates that most patients who require CT scans are not aware of the risk of radiation exposure inherent in the tests. According to a study by Dr. Patrick O'Malley, MD, one of the largest obstacles to providing patients with accurate information regarding the risks of imaging scans boils down to the awareness of the real risks. A study published JAMA Internal Medicine concluded that up to one in three imaging tests in the U.S. are ordered in situations when the expected benefits do not sufficiently exceed the risks, adding that clinicians are not well informed about the risks of medical imaging.
Fortunately, the ongoing digital revolution that has changed so much of society has not neglected medical technology. One major innovation that is saving time and protecting patients is the use of cloud-based data sharing, in particular, for storing medical images.
Medical imaging in the cloud is a leading innovation in the industry that makes the assessment and treatment of medical conditions more efficient and effective. "By storing data in HIPAA compliant servers, medical imaging in the cloud makes it easier, and secure, for different medical facilities to share records", says Dr. Phil Johnson, Department Chairman of Emergency Medicine at Summit Healthcare. As a result, patients can avoid exposure to potentially harmful radiation due to repeated CT scans. "Furthermore", continues Johnson, "in emergency situations, it's far more efficient to use a recently captured medical image than it is to take a new one." In addition to the health benefits, facilities that make use of medical imaging in the cloud can also save themselves and their patients substantial amounts of money. It is estimated that US medical facilities spend roughly 30 billion dollars per year on redundant medical imaging. In many instances, patients have been responsible for storing their own imaging files on CD or even as paper print-outs. Needless to say, this solution obviously is less than ideal, as the physical form of a compact disc makes it prone to damage or loss. The obvious limitations of image print-outs have made them easily the most inefficient method of data transfer.
Johnson continues on the importance of harassing this technology "to put the patient first, treat every patient as you would a close relative, and put the team in place to make that happen. Utilizing technology in the cloud is having a dramatic impact in practice", he says, "because telemedicine can link anyone with anyone, this new paradigm can provide much better care by saving real dollars, and saving real lives." He adds that "to practice in an old paradigm where a consultant at another institution cannot view the digital images with HIPAA compliance puts both the patient and the practitioner at risk" "I practice in an ER where, with HIPAA compliance, I can show digital images of my patients to any consultant in the world that has access to the internet." Within a few minutes of the CT being done on my patient showing they have a true life threatening emergency I tell my patient that the neurosurgeon 200 miles from us has already viewed their images and recommends an immediate transfer for life saving surgery." The patient and family look at me with comfort in their eyes knowing they are in good hands that will put them first every time. Dr. Phil Johnson states that after 5 years of using this technology, "I save many lives a year that would not be saved in the old paradigm without this technology and I personally have seen this prevent 3-10 unnecessary transfers a year costing the patient over 40,000 thousand dollars a transfer". He concludes by saying "I would not consider working in an ER without this technology".
The only thing slower than widespread adoption of telemedicine has been the statutory changes necessary to make the ground more fertile for it. But in just the past six or seven weeks there has been a definite change in attitude among lawmakers and regulators.
Unraveling the problems requires some new thinking. First, you must admit that telemedicine holds a great deal of promise in providing access to healthcare and in controlling costs, especially when faced with a shrinking physician population and a rapid increase in the number of senior citizens - the age group consuming 40-50% of all healthcare resources. Some 10,000 people retire every day in the United States.
Barrier #1 - Establishing the physician-doctor relationship requires an in-person medical visit.
Unless the doctor-patient relationship exists, it is unprofessional conduct for a physician to prescribe prescription medication. Not only is this requirement in many states' medical practice acts, but it's also taught to be the standard of care in many medical schools.
Add to that the attitude that "Doctors must be able to touch the patient," you have the argument against technology and remote assessment during an initial visit. Many doctors believe that in order (for them) to gather the necessary information about a patient's medical condition they must meet in-person. Although that my be true in some cases, doctors usually conduct a very general exam through conversation, not palpation.
An initial examination done telemedically is not radically different. The patient fills out medical history forms; a nurse or lower level practitioner takes the patient's vital signs and logs them along with the patient's complaint. The physician scans the file and enters the room, in this case via videoconference.
Two weeks ago, the Robert J. Waters Center for Telemedicine and eHealth Law (CTeL) published its proposed "Electronic Examination for Telemedicine Prescribing." These templates "would ensure that patient safety would be upheld and would provide clarity for telemedicine providers who wrestle with prescribing in states where the use of an electronic 'face-to-face' examination is not specifically identified." The proposed statutory language would waive the face-to-face exam when "it would not normally be part of a typical face-to-face encounter with the patient for the specific services being provided."
Already, a dozen states allow a bona fide physician-patient relationship to be established through an appropriate electronic exam. The rest should.
Barrier #2 - Physicians must hold a valid medical license for each state in which they see patients.
To some extent this is a holdover from when state medical boards tested license applicants to make sure they had an adequate fund of knowledge to treat patients. Now the National Board of Medical Examiners administers the USMLE (United State Medical Licensing Examination), and state medical boards just ask for evidence showing that an applicant has passed all three elements of the test. Obviously, they also have to prove they have a medical degree and have done a residency. But if they've done that once for a license in their home state, why force them to do it again for telemedicine? Because each state has different requirements, and they've balked at standardizing them.
Last month, the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) held a meeting for 80 representatives of state medical boards to explore the idea of a streamlined licensing process so as to better accomodate the use of telemedicine. Those attending the meeting recommended that the FSMB's House of Delegates look into a uniform, expedited interstate medical licensure compact to support license portability.
Some believe the model for license portability should be a compact somewhat similar to the one for nurses. Twenty-four states are members of the Nursing License Compact (NLC). A nurse with a permanent residency in one NLC state is eligible to work in other "compact states" without the need for licenses from the other states.
Such a compact for physicians would allow specialists in Reno, for example, to see patients who live in eastern California telemedically without the need for a California medical license. Many rural areas are just across a state border from a major city where healthcare is available, but rendered inconvenient by licensure.
Barrier #3 - The point of medical care depends on the location of the patient.
This barrier is closely related to Barrier #2, but approaches the issue from a different direction. A comprehensive telemedicine bill introduced in Congress on the last day of the the last Congressional session by California Congressman Mike Thompson would change the point of care to where the doctor is. The significance of this proposal is that a physician could see patients anywhere in or from the state where he holds a valid license. Thompson's measure does not create a national telemedicine license because the last thing we need is another level of bureacracy between the doctor and his patient.
The bill must be re-introduced in the new session of Congress, something that Thompson pledges to do.
Barrier #4 - Medicare reimbursement limitations on telemedicine.
These vague limitations were included in the legislation Congress approved in 2001, forcing Medicare to reimburse physicians for telemedicine visits. To get CMS administrators on board, supporters of the bill had to agree to restrictions aimed at discouraging the adoption of telemedicine within urban areas.
Even if the patients are in rural areas, a medical practice needs a lawyer to figure out if it can be reimbursed. As I've mentioned before, CMS believed that left unrestrained doctors would overuse telemedicine and run up giant reimbursements. Based on this fear, government accountants predicted that telemedicine visits would cost $30 million each year for the first five years the law was in effect.
Never happened! In the 11 years since reimbursements were approved, the total amount for telemedicine was just over $20 million.
Without a change in attitude, we'll fail to deliver adequate healthcare in the 21st Century to the right patient at the right place at the right time. It can't be done successfully with the 20th Century model.

The write takes a critique of the expansion and its financial benefit, and shows how important $1-2 million/year is for college athletic programs.
Key point:
"In all of college sports there are only 22 self-sustaining athletic departments. These athletic departments support themselves financially with no outside state funding, student fees (of which ACC schools are a major offender), or university subsidies. Of those 22 schools only one is an ACC member: Virginia Tech. The most current data available shows the Hokies clearing $968,000 in one fiscal year from athletics."
Complain all you want about Jim Weaver, but this puts us in elite company. It is also the reason that non-football coaches are unlikely to be fired with years left on their contract. Want Seth Greenberg gone? Wait until his contract is up. Pay Seth Greenberg to not coach, and VT athletics are immediately in the red.

Armenia was part of the harem of USSR, now she is a powerful mob leader, she'll do anything for money. And beware about your back!
Now some bio from the wiki:
Armenia is a landlocked mountainous country in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. Situated at the juncture of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, it is bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, the de facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran and the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan to the south.
A former republic of the Soviet Union, Armenia is a unitary, multiparty, democratic nation-state with an ancient and historic cultural heritage. The Kingdom of Armenia was the first state to adopt Christianity as its religion in the early years of the 4th century (the traditional date is 301). The modern Republic of Armenia recognizes the Armenian Apostolic Church as the national church of Armenia, although the republic has separation of church and state.

Geneva residents weigh in on teacher contract issue
By DENISE LINKE For the Beacon-News October 17, 2012 10:20PM
Related Stories
Updated: November 19, 2012 2:36PM
GENEVA — The Geneva School Board Wednesday night approved a final contract offer to be made to the Geneva teachers union.
In a release issued Thursday morning, the board cautioned that "final" is a statutory term used within the context of state law.
"It is not intended to indicate an unwillingness on the part of the Board of Education to continue negotiations toward an agreement," the board statement said.
The board did not release details of its offer.
Both sides must submit their final contract proposals to the Illinois Labor Relations Board this Friday, said board President Mark Grosso.
Despite declaring an impasse in negotiations last week, the Geneva Education Association teachers union will continue to work with board members and independent mediators to reach an agreement, Geneva High School math teacher and GEA negotiator Kim Lee said.
"The e-mail you sent through Geneva Connects last Friday gave many people in the community the impression that we would refuse to continue negotiating," Lee said Wednesday evening. "The GEA will attend the scheduled mediation session Oct. 23, and every session thereafter. We hope the board is planning on attending, as well."
Both sides are deadlocked over salaries and benefits, people at Wednesday evening's special meeting agreed. Teachers say a pay freeze is unacceptable because they already make less money than teachers in St. Charles, Batavia and other comparable area school districts. Board members maintain that looming building bond payments that threaten to double property taxes within the next decade prevent them from offering any raises in the foreseeable future.
"Given the economic uncertainty that faces our School District and our community, the Board of Education has asked all employee groups to forego certain pay raises. Our administrators and all other nonteaching personnel have done so. The Board believes that it is only fair that teachers share the load and forego one pay raise," Grosso said in the release.
Some residents said that the school district can't afford to lose good teachers or compromise the quality of the education it provides, even if it means raising taxes more in the short run.
"What is the price of excellent teachers and education? What is the value of excellent teachers and education?" asked resident Carol Sanders, who said her daughter is getting a better education at Geneva Middle School North than she did at the private elementary school she attended.
"What may be unintended consequences of a pay freeze? When the economy improves, will builders choose to build homes in Geneva? How will it affect the value of living in Geneva in the long run?"
Others said teachers must accept that the economic downturn requires them to make the same sacrifices that private sector workers have made.
"Teachers have a defined pension program, which very few people working today have. Also, their jobs are not being outsourced, unlike jobs in other industries," noted resident Tom Maloney. "People in the corporate world are taking pay cuts, changing to the graveyard shift and working longer hours just to keep their jobs. I don't understand what the problem is with taking a pay freeze to avoid layoffs."
And some said freezing teachers' salaries and benefits is necessary, whether or not it's fair.
"Geneva teachers may be lower paid than Batavia, St. Charles and other surrounding areas," commented resident Dwight Swertick. "Unfortunately for them, other districts don't have Geneva's money problems. We have a 10-year mountain of debt. We should act now to flatten the property tax trajectory. If we don't, we're going to be uncompetitive with other districts. All attempts to place the blame how we got here really doesn't matter."

Colorado Saddlery Spur Tiedown
These Colorado Saddlery Spur Tiedowns are time tested by Cowboys and horse people as the revolutionary solution to keep your spurs in place. Read more...
Highly functional spur tie down by Colorado Saddlery. Made to hold spurs in their proper position. Keeps your spurs from riding up your boots. Strong, durable rubber. Easy on. One size fits all.
Overall Rating: 4 StarsAverage Based on 3 Reviews Write a Review
After years of having my ankles bruised by the spur ends, I thank God for these tiedowns! Here is a hint, based on the previous reviews: warm them up in your hands or under your shirt until you put them on to keep them flexible. Put the loop over the rowel first then the loops over the buttons of the spurs and put the spur on the boot and gently move the heel strap over the heel of your boot. Set your spurs where you want them..and when the tie chills a bit, that is where they stay!
I bought a pair for my spurs based on the first review on this site. These may be "one size fits all", but you must be careful. I wear a size 10 boot, and the first one broke just trying to install it onto the spurs. I managed to get the second one on without breaking. I took the first one, and using a button, sewed the broken ends together. The item works keeping the spurs in place, but be very gentle when installing, or they will break.
My 15 year old daughter is on a drill team and uses these tiedown straps all of the time and loves them! She says that nothing else compares to this product and will only use them on her spurs! They are sturdy and keep her spurs in place!

Choosing a programming language: Python vs Perl
Feb 28, 2014
Software engineers are very often confronted with a critical career choice question: Which programming language is best to learn today for the upcoming future? The choice between programming languages is even harder to make if two contesting skills are similar in their nature, which is exactly the case of Python and Perl.

Linuxis.org - a tribute to GNU/Linux comunity
Aug 22, 2013Debian GNU/Linux now celebrates 20 years. This Linux distribution traveled a long way and no shortcuts were taken to produce this extremely stable and robust operating system. The proof of the previous statement is the amount of spin-offs produced based on Debian GNU/Linux, which is currently estimated to flow over 140 mark. This number also includes the well known Ubuntu Linux which is still closely connected to the enormous Debian package repository.
With the latest Debian Wheezy 7 version release Debian also gained an ability to compete with other Linux distributions as a desktop operating system of choice. To celebrate Debian's 20 years long journey Linuxcareer.com has prepared a special website as a tribute to Debian and entire GNU/Linux community. The goal of the linuxis.org website is to help promote Linux to a wider public. Website is clearly written and presented, explaining what is Linux and what are the main benefits of using it. Linuxis.org also includes step-by-step installation guide and free software alternatives list to proprietary software.
How writing about Linux boosts your IT career
Interview with Jason Hibbets, Red Hat
Aug 20, 2013
The World Wide Web has become an extremely strong source of information. Job seekers search for jobs on online job boards, while recruiters search for potential employees by listing their Web profiles. Such head hunting is, in particular, common when looking for a Linux professional. Numerous ways are available for an IT professional to establish their Web presence. One of them is writing about GNU/Linux or, in general, free or open source software. It is extremely beneficial for your IT career to publish on Linux related websites as a volunteer writer and, at the same time, enhance your Web presence.

Linux Career IT Skills Watch update July 2013
Jul 17, 2013
As promised, here is the latest "IT Skills Watch" update . The current statistics refer to the period between May and June 2013. The biggest drop was made by the LPI certification, which seems to be losing ground in comparison to other major certification providers. The reason for this could be the generic nature of the LPI certification, which does not appear to be very appealing for many employers right now.

Fabrizio Michelassi, M.D.
Colon and Rectal Surgery
Hebrew | Portuguese | Turkish | Spanish | Arabic
Fabrizio Michelassi, M.D, F.A.C.S., is a world-renowned, board-certified gastrointestinal surgeon with a strong expertise in the surgical treatment of gastrointestinal and pancreatic cancers as well as inflammatory bowel disease. He is the Lewis Atterbury Stimson Professor of Surgery and Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College and Surgeon-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Dr. Michelassi was recently featured in a story about his pioneering crohns surgery on the award-winning ABC-TV documentary series, "NY Med". To view the episode please click here: nymedshow.com/episodes/episode-8
A prolific author of more than 250 papers, book chapters and abstracts, Dr. Michelassi has contributed new insight in the surgical treatment of pancreatic and colorectal cancers, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. He has pioneered the development of important new techniques that ensure better outcomes and improved quality of life for patients with rectal cancer and ulcerative colitis. These techniques have resulted in a greater percentage of patients avoiding permanent stomas and maintaining urological and sexual function. His recognized expertise in the surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer has led many patients to seek his counsel; in turn, Dr. Michelassi has contributed new knowledge to this field through clinical trials. His experience and expertise in treating Crohn's disease led him to develop a novel bowel-sparing procedure, now known as the Michelassi strictureplasty, designed to avoid sacrificing large amounts of bowel at the time of surgery and facilitating quiescence of the acute disease affecting the diseased intestinal loops. He has edited a book on "Operative strategies in inflammatory bowel disease" and has produced eleven instructional movies for surgeons on the surgical treatment of complications of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Internationally renowned as an outstanding clinician, researcher and teacher, Dr. Michelassi has been invited to be a visiting professor, deliver keynote lectures and named lectures at more than 80 national and international institutions. He is Associate Editor of the Annuals of Surgical Oncology and serves on the editorial board of six prestigious medical journals including: Annals of Surgery, The British Journal of Surgery, Digestive Surgery, the Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology and Surgery. A recognized leader in the gastrointestinal surgical field, Dr. Michelassi has been appointed to many international and national task forces and panels.
Dr. Michelassi is President-Elect of the Society for the Surgery of the Alimentary Tract. He has served as President of the Society of Surgical Oncology, the Western Surgical Society, the Central Surgical Association, the Society of Surgical Chairs, the Illinois Surgical Society and the New York Surgical Society. A member of more than 45 professional societies in the United States and internationally, he serves as the Vice Chair of the Executive Committee of the Board of Governors of the American College of Surgeons and he is Vice Chair of the Advisory Council for General Surgery of the American College of Surgeons. He has served as Director of the American Board of Surgery.
Dr. Michelassi has earned numerous awards for his innovative contributions to advancing the treatment of digestive diseases, including the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Award, the American Cancer Society Cancer Development Award and the Distinguished Leadership Award from the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. His research on Crohn's disease has been funded by the International Organization of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and numerous other foundations; his research on the genetics of gastrointestinal cancer has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the American Cancer Society. He has been repeatedly recognized by Castle Connolly, New York Magazine and Chicago Magazine as one of the "Best Doctors in America." Dr. Michelassi was selected as one of "America's Top Doctors" by US News & World Report. He was chosen as one of "American's Top Surgeons" by the Consumers' Research Council of America, and has been selected as one of New York's "Super Doctors" every year since 2008, an honor accorded to just 5 percent of all New York physicians.
Born in Pisa, Italy, and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pisa School of Medicine, Dr. Michelassi completed his internship and surgical residency at New York University and a research fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University. In 1984, he joined the faculty of the Department of Surgery at the University of Chicago. He became Section Chief of General Surgery in 1994, tenured Professor in 1995, Vice Chair of the Surgery Department in 2000 and the Thomas D. Jones Professor of Surgery in 2001. He also served as Director of the Surgical Oncology Fellowship from 1988 through 1995 and Director of the General Surgery Residency Program from 1997 through 2004. He moved to his current position at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in 2004.
In 2009, in recognition of his many lifetime achievements, Dr. Michelassi was honored as an Official of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Italy with the rank of Commendatore, the most prestigious and important distinction awarded by the President of the Republic of Italy to Italian citizens of particular merit. He was also inducted as a member of the American Society of the Italian Legions of Merit (ASILM), the Italian-American society comprised of those 600 individuals who have been so decorated by the Republic of Italy. In 2010, Dr. Michelassi received the prestigious 2010 Golden Lion Award from the Order of the Sons of Italy in America and the "Campano d'Oro" medal from the University of Pisa, the highest honor that can be accorded to a University of Pisa alumnus. In 2012, he received the "Grand Award of Merit," the most prestigious award of the American Society of the Italian Legions of Merit, in recognition of his accomplishments, dedication and leadership that have improved the lives of numerous Americans, Italians and Italian Americans. Previous recipients of the Grand Award of Merit include H.E. Giorgio Napolitano, President of the Republic of Italy, George W. Bush, former President of the United States, and US Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

Professor Michael Karayanni, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Thursday, November 29, 20124:30 PM - 6:00 PMUCLA School of LawRoom 1314 (New Location)Los Angeles, CA 90095
The discussion of religion and state in Israel is largely an intra-Jewish discussion. The tension between constitutional liberal guarantees on the one hand, and the recognition the state has accorded to Jewish religious institutions and norms on the other, dominate the religion and state debate. About one-fifth of Israel's population is non-Jewish--and this population is predominantly Palestinian-Arab. Each community has jurisdiction to apply its own religious norms and adjudicate disputes among its members in personal status issues, principally marriage and divorce. Moreover, a number of institutions in the Palestinian-Arab religious communities are financially supported by the state, albeit substantially less than Jewish religious institutions. So how is it that such issues are generally excluded from the discussion on religion and state? Professor Karayanni will explore why the Israeli religion and state discussion has thus far excluded the Palestinian-Arab minority.
Michael Mousa Karayanni, is the Bruce W. Wayne Associate Professor of International Law, Faculty of Law, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is currently a Visiting Associate Professor at Stanford University Law School & Ford Dorsey Program in International Policy Studies. His research interests include private international law and inter-religious law, multiculturalism and civil procedure. He is the author of Conflicts in a Conflict (forthcoming, OUP 2013). Professor Karayanni graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Law School (SJD, 2003) and Hebrew University of Jerusalem (LLD (Hons.), 2000).
Two hour, pay-per-space parking is available in LOT 2 (entrance off of Hilgard at Manning Ave., one block south of Westholme). Limited pay-per-space parking is also available behind the law school - enter the campus at Hilgard and Wyton (first traffic light south of Sunset) and then turn left into the parking area.

THE FARM'S FOREIGN AID … I was in San Francisco back in the Sixties when Steve Gaskin started giving his Monday Night Talks, and drew a large following of hippies disenchanted with city living. When he took a caravan of folks to Tennessee to found The Farm, I almost left with them. I didn't (which is another story), but I did stay in touch with Peter Schweitzer and the small person-to-person foreign aid program that was founded by Farm idealists. I've never given much to Plenty International, but I've been a consistent supporter over the years. It's a charity I believe in. And I've received their excellent bulletin, with its stories of its soy milk project in Guatemala, its kitchen for the homeless in New Orleans, a medical clinic in Liberia and an organic farm on Pine Ridge – among just some of the good things they do … If you have a few dollars that you'd like to see get directly to people in need, send a tax deductible check to Plenty, P.O. Box 394, Summertown TN 38483, or email <email@example.com> or check out the website <www.plenty.org> … Below is an edited verson of Peter's intro to the latest bulletin, plus a poem as this week's Talking Gourd written by Plenty board co-chair and founding member, Karen Lynn Goeppert Heikkala of Austin, Texas, who passed away this summer after a life of amazing social action and environmental justice.
PETER SCHWEITZER … "Plenty turns 35 this year. That's kind of a milestone for a small independent nonprofit and we're just incredibly grateful to all our generous and faithful supporters who have made this possible. You are the reason Plenty continues. It's that simple. Certainly the need has not lessened. UNICEF says 25,000 children die every day due to poverty, which means these deaths are preventable. The frequency of natural and man-made disasters never seems to slow. Humankind apparently still believes war is a necessary means to solving problems. These realities also keep us going, along with the knowledge that we are making a difference, however small in the greater scheme of things. Differences must be made. Doing nothing is not an option … In 35 years Plenty has been involved with projects in at least 20 countries on five continents. We've been working in Guatemala since 1976, on Pine Ridge Reservation since 1981, in Belize since 1985. Kids To The Country started as part of Plenty's project in the South Bronx in the early 1980s. After awhile, people we're working with become like family. We start getting invited to their weddings and birthday parties, graduations and funerals. When one of our Plenty Guatemala soy project volunteers returned to Guatemala 15 years later to do more soy demonstrations she noticed that the little kids she used to hand out soy ice cream cones to were now the young mothers attending her classes and their kids were getting to eat the ice cream and other soyfoods … In this new Bulletin you will read about a family reunion that was held in April in California with Plenty Guatemala volunteers and the original Mayan Soyaria managers, Agustin and Elena Xoquic … I remember that in the year of Plenty's 25th anniversary we said it was time to do a Plenty book. Well, no sooner did we make that pledge than ten years elapsed. Whew. That was fast. So now we have gotten more serious about that book and a long-time Plenty volunteer and former editor at the Farm's Book Publishing Company, is on the case collecting the memorable stories of Plenty volunteers from over the past three and a half decades. Some of these stories make my hair (what's left of it) stand on end when I realize how many bullets (some literal) volunteers have dodged. I also get chills remembering how truly courageous, resourceful and talented Plenty volunteers have been. Many were teenagers and twenty-somethings when they joined projects in distant lands. Most had never done anything like this before or had any formal training. What they had going for them was a compassionate nature, fearlessness and, I would have to say, some kind of resolute faith in their ability to do heavy things they had never had to do before. Unsung heroes all. We want to tell their stories because their stories are the clearest evidence we have that everyone is already qualified to make a difference. We sometimes even surprise ourselves."
WEB FAV … You've probably already heard this great joke circulating the internet about a woman in a hot air balloon who realizes she is lost. Lowering her altitude, she spots a man in a boat below and shouts to him, "Excuse me, sir. Can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." … The man consults his portable GPS and replies, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground, at an elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. Thirty-one degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude." … She rolls her eyes and says, "You must be an Obama Democrat." The man nods. "So I am, but how did you know?" The balloonist smiles. "Well," she answers, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me." … The man in the boat smiles back, "And you must be a Republican." Surprised, the woman replies, "I am. How did you know?" … Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault." (Thanks to John Mansfield of Norwood)
Pay Attention
Life is pure energy
Wield it as you may
Keep it at bay or embrace it in full
Be prepared to open your eyes
And grab the strings that go by
Swinging from gift to gift you can fulfill the pact
That you came in with
And will later retract
To a place we don't know where
But a place of beauty if you cared
-Karen Heikkala

The Rancilio Rocky grinder is a top-grade, consumer mill made in Italy. It has the best quality burrs and a straight-forward adjustment to dial in the precise grind for espresso, regular-drip or other brewing methods. This is one solid chunk of metal! The motor is powerful and grinding is quiet. It has commercial grade 50 mm flat burrs and 55 grinding adjustment steps, enough to pinpoint the exact grind requirement for the most particular espresso machine.
It covers a full range of grinds from fine to coarse, from Espresso to French Press. (I wouldn't say that the coarse grind is its strong point though. It's passable as a French Press grind but really the Rocky excels in the medium to fine to ultra-fine grinds; filter-drip, vacuum pot, espresso, and Turkish).
The decision you need to make is whether the Doser or Doserless model is right for you. Both are the same mill with different hardware attached to the front (and the doserless mill has a spring-loaded switch on the front. You will be able to use either as all-around mills, but the no-doser model is better-suited for this. Be aware that new Rocky mills are tested at the factory, and you might see a little grind residue on the burrs or in the doser. That is a good thing!
For more images and tips, see our Details Page on using the Ranciliio Rocky Mills. Also, take a look at this issue of our Tiny Joy newsletter that compared the Rocky against a hand grinder and an electric blade grinder.
The grinder ships with a manual but you can click here to download one off of Rancilio's website.

Celtic it's doubtful you older than me but no matter. Some white people funny about that war('it wasn't about slavery!') and some black folks too('white people invented slavery/what do you mean non-white people owned slaves in the USA?').
People believe what they want to believe, but you tell me with a straight face that, given the choice of no slaves and no war or keep your slaves and go to war, our people wouldn't have been better off with the first choice. AND that change should have been paid by every state in the Union for the betterment of all and to avoid killing the southern economy.
But the South didn't have leaders that wise, and it seems you are in the 21st Century, & still down in the mud and on the wrong side of history on this. May you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving.

ELIZABETH I, MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS and THE DUKE OF NORFOLK
Elizabethan Privy Council Letter signed by the Earl of Leicester ("R. Leycester"), Sir William Cecil ("W Cecill") and other Councillors, to the Sheriff and Justices of the Peace of Kent, informing them of the Duke of Norfolk's flight to Kenninghall after the Queen's discovery of the conspiracy to marry him to Mary Queen of Scots, and urging them to be on guard for seditious rumours or other disturbances; the letter also signed by the Earl of Bedford, Sir Edward Clinton, William Howard of Effingham and Sir Francis Knollys,
one page, paper with little pot watermark, some small paper-losses and wear, nineteenth-century paper backing, dust-staining, however in still in sound presentable condition, folio
, Windsor, 26 September 1569
QUEEN ELIZABETH DISCOVERS THE DUKE OF NORFOLK'S PLOT TO MARRY MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS. This Privy Council letter is of added interest in that it is signed by her favourite, the Earl of Leicester, who had in fact favoured the scheme, and by her chief minister, Sir William Cecil (later Lord Burghley), whose overthrow the scheme was designed to encompass: "Where it is likely that you may heare ho[w] the Duke of Norfolk is gon of late from London to Kenninghall, which by his letres to us is signified to be upon feare of the Quenes Majesties displeasure where he avoweth that he will remain a faithfull subject, and so we hartely wish and trust he will, considering there is none other cawse: yet becawse we are not ignorant, what disposition there is in evill disposed parsons to take occasions upon small matters to mov[e] seditious brutes, We have thought good to signify unto you that hir Maiestie hath not ment any wise toward the said Duke of Norffolk any manner of thing to him offensive, but only upon his coming to the Corte to understand the truth of a certen matter that hath ben moved to him for a mariadg with the Quene of Scots, which hir Majestie no wise doth allowe, and so to have lett him understand his resolute determination at this present, when hir wholle Counsel shuld have been assembled by hir order. Wher unto as we have good cawse to appear our selves the said Duke wold accor[d] so we know not of any manner of intent in him but that which belongeth to any honourable parson, and a iust and true servant of the Quenes Maiestie our Soveraigne. Wherupon her Maiestie being lothe to save such a nobleman to be abused with untrue reports hathsent for the said Duke to repaier to her, as it is most likely he will..."
Mary Queen of Scots had arrived unexpectedly in England in May the year before. Among the various schemes to find a solution to the problem that her unexpected, and far from welcome, arrival caused (given her strong claims to the throne of England, allied to her Roman Catholicism) was a plan to marry her to the Duke of Norfolk, England's premier nobleman and only duke, and reinstall her in Scotland, on the understanding that she retain Protestantism as well as strong ties with England. This scheme gained wide approval, not least from Leicester, as well as from the Earls of Northumberland and Westmorland who were to take part in the Northern Uprising shortly after: 'By mid-July 1569 knowledge of the plot was widespread; almost certainly Cecil had more than an inkling of it; only the queen remained in the dark. In this same year there was what seems to have been an attempt to unseat Cecil or at least to clip his wings... The sources are too unreliable and disjointed to give a coherent account. What is known from Cecil's own pen is that he did have a quarrel with Norfolk in May/June 1569... Then, in September 1569, Norfolk himself was in deep trouble when the scheme for his marriage to Mary reached the queen's ears. Faced by the royal wrath, the duke took refuge in his Norfolk seat, Kenninghall. For a moment the prospect of open conflict loomed' (Wallace T. MacCaffrey, 'William Cecil, Lord Burghley',
). It has in fact been a contrite Leicester who informed the Queen of Norfolk's plan: 'When, on 22 September, [Norfolk] learned from Leicester that he would probably be sent to the Tower, he panicked and fled to Kenninghall in Norfolk. From there he advised Cecil that he was incapacitated by a fit of the ague, but promised to journey to court within a few days. He also wrote to the queen, swearing that he had declared everything to her and 'some of your Counsell; nor ever had any Intencion otherwyse to deale, then as I might obtayne your Highnes's favour to doo'. Next day (25 September), however, she ordered his return without delay or excuse' (Michael A. R. Graves, 'Thomas Howard, fourth Duke of Norfolk',
). Two other signatories to this document played a major role in these events. Sir Francis Knollys had been Mary Queen of Scots's guardian on her arrival in England, until handing over this unwelcome post that February to Shrewsbury; while two months later Sir Edward Clinton was appointed Lieutenant-General, with the Earl of Warwick, of the forces sent to suppress the Rising of the North two months later. Norfolk, faced by the Queen's displeasure, made submission; but it was not long before the plan was revived, and this time with discovery of the Ridolfi Plot treason he was found guilty of high treason, and executed on 2 June 1572.

The Boston Globe reports, somewhat belatedly, on the Federal Election Commission's decision last month to classify the nonprofit group Citizens United as a "press entity." The consequence of that decision is that Citizens United—which has to date produced 14 documentaries—is spared from the intrusive and burdensome disclosure requirements that often apply to groups that spend money on political speech.
Predictably, supporters of stringent campaign finance laws are dismayed. What's remarkable, though, is that none of them express concerns with the press exemption generally. Yet the very existence of the press exemption seriously undermines the case for campaign finance disclosure for independent groups.
When a traditional press entity like, say, the Boston Globe, publishes a political editorial, readers don't have access to information about the paper's financing. Instead, they have to evaluate those political arguments on their merits. So-called "reformers" seem to have no problem with this. But if we trust the public to rationally evaluate corporate messages that just happen to come from the institutional press, there is absolutely no reason why we should not trust the public to rationally evaluate messages from nontraditional forms of media, whether it be a blog post, a 30-second television ad, or a two-hour documentary.
The real outrage is not that Citizens United was deemed worthy of the press exemption, but that others who engage in equally valid exercises of their First Amendment rights do not enjoy that same privilege. No one should have to prove to a government bureaucrat that they have earned the right to speak free from government burdens—the First Amendment guarantees that right to all of us.

We had a wonderful stay at David's place. The apartment has everything we needed and they were always there helping with any questions we had or recommendations we needed for beaches or restaurants in the area.
It a bit off the touristy crowds up on the hill off Manuel Antonio which was great.
Soon there will also be an outdoor swimming pool. They're building it right now, but there is no noise - so no need to worry.
Thanks a lot for that lovely stay!
We had a great time. The place was nice and quiet and clean. I would reccomend if you are looking to get away from the road in Manuel Antonio.
My wife and I shard a wonderful week at the Hummingbird and found it to be a very nice start to our CR experience. David was good with communication and helpful in sharing ideas on the many things to do near Manuel Antonio.
Soon his place will have a finished pool which will enhance the experience even more. Thanks David for a great introduction to CR hospitality
The Hummingbird is a gorgeous respite from beautiful, crowded beaches of Manuel Antonio/Quepos area.
David and friends were consummate hosts, who were very helpful and willing to go out of their way to make you feel at home. The apartment itself is pristine and romantic, and quite luxurious. It's high design all the way! The sunsets from the balcony were insane, but that's just par for the course in this area where everything is lush and beautiful.
The property is also situated perfectly between the town of Quepos and Manuel Antonio, giving you best of both worlds--access to shopping and area excursions, as well as quick jaunts to happening restaurants and nightlife and the famed national park. David also works at one of the more popular bars, which was a very nice bonus to the visit.
Currently there is a private pool complex under construction, so the property is only going to get better and more exotic. Definitely worth returning--which is a must.
David was outstanding with our communication. We asked plenty of questions and he was always prompt and kind with a response. He even helped us arrange for a guide for the National Park Tour. The house is in an outstanding location. We had a rental car and were able to make the steep trek up to their beautiful home without a problem. Upon arrival, Renee welcomed us kindly and was a huge help. H even let us use his phone to call the car rental office one day. Very helpful! Merci!!
The place is clean, fresh, comfortable and very spacious (at least for the two of us). We loved that they had an easily accessible washer and dryer and the condo was very quiet and relaxing. The kitchen is very helpful and everything very modern.
They warn you upon payment that there is no refund for poor internet and insects. An excellent place if internet is not very important to you to have in the place. We went to a local restaurant for internet on our phones. Insects are every where, so that is not their fault and we were perfectly fine with it.
LOVED the air conditioner. It was hot and muggy outside, but refreshing to have the A/C.
Would stay here again, in hopes that the internet gets a bit better.
We had a lovely stay in the rainforest! David and partner were very king and helpful. We had a very nice and relaxing stay. Thank you so much! Allie and Logan :)
My fiancé and I traveled to Manuel Antinio mid June and had such an amazing time staying in the hummingbird condo! The place is imaculate and feels like you are in a fancy tree house, nestled on the side of a mountain! With marble floors and a jungle view, this place lacked nothing! It also had a great bathroom and cozy living space. To top it off, David and René are the best host you could ask for! They had great recommendations and even invited us up to their condo for drinks and chips/dips! They have an AMAZING view of the ocean up there:) Overall, I would definitely stay there again and again!
Love, love, love the Hummingbird. Clean, comfortable, quaint and quiet. David and René are gracious hosts who are all too happy to help getting you to the best places and making sure your overall experience of the region is positive. Highly recommended! ¡Pura Vida!
I stayed at the Hummingbird for four nights this summer, and the place was great! I will definitely be returning in the future. The one-bedroom apartment was the perfect size for a single traveler, and it had everything that I needed in the event that I wanted to cook. The place was very quiet, so whenever I was ready to pass out after a day in the sun, I could sleep soundly. The hosts - David and Rene - are knowledgable about the area and were very accomodating. They were always hospitable, offering to drop me off/pick me up at the airport and give me a lift to the beach. All in all, a wonderful stay. I would highly recommend this place!!
David and Rene were very welcoming and HELPFUL hosts. i can only recommend to stay with them. We arrived at 2am the first night and it was not a problem for them to pick us up from Quepos, in addition to that we didnt have money for the taxi, they even borrowed us money. They gave great restaurant recomandations and showed us around the first days. Their house is very new and clean, located on a little hill next to manuel antonio.
This is the final rate, including any fees from the host and Airbnb.
