"The world has never had an up-close look at how anti-gay animus is exported from the United States to places like Uganda," said Andre Banks, executive director and co-founder of All Out, a gay rights advocacy group. "'God Loves Uganda' shows us how the U.S. culture war is being shipped wholesale to Africa, sometimes unknowingly, but always with disastrous consequences. The film should be required viewing."
The film argues that conservative evangelical Christian churches, aware of the declining trend of belief in America, are spreading out into Africa, where they hope to foster an anti-gay fervor among the increasingly religious African population. A growing number of African countries, like Uganda, have been reporting explosive growths in Christianity, according to the film.
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams makes it clear, however, that his documentary does not try to portray all or even most Christians in a negative light. A number of the commentators in the film are African pastors who have seen the anti-gay conservative movement spread around the continent, which they say is a danger to human rights.
Williams, who says grew up in the black church but was later rejected when he came out as gay, focuses on a group of evangelical Christians in Uganda and their evangelism efforts.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Used the "save the date" card as an invite to the wedding celebration. Was able to edit words on the entire card and change it to fit my need. The design team was great and even changed the color of the block on the bottom of the card. Couldn't ask for better quality and an easier process!"
"Not only did we LOVE the design, we also appreciate the customer service assistance. At first, I was a little unsure because I was afraid the images will come up small and too hard to see. I called customer service and the rep was able to pull up my account and review my order. He gave me suggested changes which made it perfect. I also liked the back where we can personalize a message. Everything turned out perfect including the quality and print of our save-the-date postcards. Thanks again and we look forward to using Wedding Paper Divas in the future!"
"The save the dates arrived in the mail, and the card stock was nice and thick. The quality of the print was sharp, and very clear. I was worried that the photos would turn out pixalated, or blurry, but they were absolutely perfect. The design process was easy, the proofing was quick. and they arrived in a week. We ordered these flat and matte, and they were just fantastic. They don't look or feel cheap at all. They are incredibly good quality, and everyone who's received one so far loves it."
"I thought this save the date postcard was just perfect for what we were trying to do. They looked more amazing than I ever dreamed. I am very glad that I chose to go this route. I wanted to change the colors on the save the date and the customer service was very quick and helpful. My save the dates even made it to me early! I'm super happy and I can't wait to send these out. :-) Thanks Wedding Paper Divas for making my day!"
"Excellent quality, fantastic colors on the photos. The one thing I would suggest would be to make sure you have zoomed in enough on the two smaller photos because one of my photos was not (my own fault) and we appeared very far away in the photo. Highly recommend!"

Elizabethton to host its first cyclo-cross bike race Saturday
The first cyclo-cross ever in Elizabethton will be held Saturday.
Hosted by the Tri-Cities Road Club, the Mud, Sweat and Gears Cyclo-cross series will make its fifth stop in the eight-race series at Sycamore Shoals.
Racers from around the region will be coming to to race in the Bonnie Kate Cafe' Cyclo-cross race. Race organizers say about 150 racers are expected to compete.
This is the ninth season of the MSG series, and the first time that Elizabethton has hosted a cyclo-cross race. Cyclo-cross is a mixture of road and mountain biking. The bike looks like a road bike, but has wider, knobby tires like a mountain bike, and brakes like a mountain bike.
Courses are a mixture of grass, pavement, dirt paths, gravel, sand and mud, in any combination. Courses are a minimum of 10 feet wide, 1.6 miles long, and are closed, marked by plastic fence posts and caution tape.
Each race usually has one set of artificial barriers that extend across the course, the barriers are 16'" tall and require most riders to dismount, run across the barriers while carrying the bike, and then remount after crossing the barriers. Some riders are able to "bunny hop" the barriers. Races are 30 to 60 minutes long, depending on the skill level of the racer.
Categories are provided for beginners, Juniors, Masters, and Pro.
The MSG opening weekend is sponsored by: the Bonnie Kate Cafe, Elizabethton Parks and Recreation, Sycamore Shoals State Historic Site, Sycamore Shoals Hostpital, Piney Flats Bicycles and Fitness, Hampton Trails Bike Shop, Energy Fitness, Alpine Ski Center, and the Tri-Cities Road Club.
Races will begin at 11 a.m. and continue all day. Pro Women race at 12 p.m. and Pro Men at 1:45 p.m..

The Five of Swords card reversed suggests that at this time, it may be best to leave well enough alone or to take the moral high ground, as issues or memories of disrespect, abuse, cheating or trickery may be lying right below the surface. Opening this can of worms may bring everyone down. Keep your information or knowledge of a hidden truth to yourself, and just privately enjoy any personal victory without resorting to public embarrassment. All the parties involved have had an equal hand in bringing about the current circumstances, so any attempts to 'win' will be ultimately fruitless. Let it go -- it isn't worth it.

As the Chelsea Ladies' season draws to a close, we assess the campaign, and look ahead to our final game of the season this weekend…
The FA WSL season draws to a close this weekend, and the Blues end the campaign with a home clash against Lincoln City.
The season as a whole has been a mixed one for Chelsea Ladies. Under the stewardship of former manager Matt Beard we started well, and reached the FA Cup final, only to see our hopes of glory cruelly dashed with a penalty shoot-out defeat against Birmingham City.
That result appeared to dent the confidence of the side, and we embarked upon a run where victories proved elusive, eventually culminating in the departure of Beard, who left the club after over three years at the helm.
Emma Hayes, an experienced manager who has previously worked at Arsenal, as well as in the US, came in to take over, and after seeing her new side beat Doncaster Rovers in her first game in charge, she was forced to watch on as we lost successive matches against both Birmingham and Everton.
However, a 1-0 victory away at Bristol Academy, courtesy of a Dani Buet penalty, saw us return to winning ways, and give ourselves a chance of finishing the season positively.
A win against Lincoln on Sunday afternoon at Wheatsheaf Park, coupled with Bristol failing to secure three points in their final game against Everton, will see us finish fourth in the table.
Chemmy showing support
For our final game of the season, Chelsea Ladies will have the backing of Olympic skier Chemmy Alcott, as the game is dedicated to our global charity partner, Right To Play.
The charity will be giving away prizes to fans during the match, which kicks off at 2pm, while Alcott will host some half-time fun and be available to speak to media.
Alcott is Britain's top downhill skier and is hard in training for Sochi 2014 after being a torchbearer for London 2012. She is a long-standing supporter of Right To Play and even climbed Kilimanjaro in 2008 to raise money for the cause.
As well as half-time entertainment and competitions, the players will also pose for photos and sign autographs after the final whistle.
Right To Play works tirelessly to improve the lives of children in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world by using the power of sport and play for development, health and peace.
Duo called up for national service
Two Chelsea players have been called up to the England squad for the forthcoming game against France in Paris, their first match since securing qualification for the European Championships.
Claire Rafferty and Dunia Susi, both members of Team GB at London 2012, were called into the squad by Hope Powell and will be hopeful of starting in the French capital.
Chelsea Ladies v Lincoln takes place at Wheatsheaf Park on Sunday 7 October, kick-off 2pm.
Tickets are priced at £5 for adults and £3 for juniors and seniors.

'Consummate musicianship and formidable technical control. The warmth and beauty of tone are never sacrificed even in the most thickly textured writing of the first movement. The Finale in particular is quite dazzling, Hamelin's quicksilver dexterity bringing an effervescent humour and brilliant rhythmic incisiveness to the music' (BBC Music Magazine)
'The Canadian's magisterial technique means that he dispatches with feline ease passages such as the notorious whispering doble octaves in the scherzo' (Daily Telegraph)
'The grand romantic manner comes easily to Hamelin. Modern discipline, too, and his combination of finger power, firm engineering, caressing gentleness and playful wit makes him a natural for Brahms's second piano concerto' (The Times)
'Hamelin strides forth with a technical magnificence that is glittering and propulsive, but also with a light and shade that directs to the music's inner sanctum' (International Piano)
'Hamelin consistently beguiles the ear…in the scherzo of the concerto, he uses clean rhythm to bring excitement to No. 3 without overwhelming the music. His light touch in the first piece emphasizes both its dreaminess as well as its sparse modernity: Schoenberg's famous appellation "Brahms the progressive" is singularly applicable here. The engineering is up to Hyperion's usual high standard, with ideal balances between piano and orchestra in the concerto…This is an excellent release and an important landmark in Hamelin's evolving discography' (Classics Today)
'Hamelin makes for a brilliant soloist and fine Brahms interpreter here… the result is one of the more successful and satisfying Brahms Seconds to come down the pike in quite a while… the four op. 119 pieces that fill out the disc are a nice bonus, and played by Hamelin with the caressing tenderness of one who understands the ache of Brahms' winter regret. Strongly recommended' (Fanfare, USA)
'Hamelin and conductor Andrew Litton achieve a kind of mind-meld in their reading of the Brahms Second Concerto … This is music-making of the highest order, intensely communicative and attuned to the composer's mastery of narrative form and structure' (The Absolute Sound, USA)
Allegro non troppo [17'04]
Allegro appassionato [8'44]
Andante [11'27]
Allegretto grazioso [8'47]
Intermezzo: Adagio [4'22]
Rhapsodie: Allegro risoluto [5'00]
Hyperion's Record of the Month for August features Marc-André Hamelin and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra under Andrew Litton in a compelling account of Brahms's huge Piano Concerto No 2. This work blends the principles of symphony and concerto in a manner that invokes chamber music, while also representing the culmination of everything that Brahms had learned as a lifelong connoisseur of pianistic technique. Cast in four large movements, this concerto can be seen as a kind of pianistic autobiography, from the young virtuoso, through the D minor anguish of the scherzo and the self-communing chamber-like slow movement, to the Hungarian rhythms of the more ebullient song-and-dance finale. The Four Piano Pieces Op 119 written in the composer's final years—three ravishingly inward and autumnal Intermezzi offset by a virile and heroic Rhapsodie—complete this rounded portrait of the composer.
Marc-André Hamelin's pianistic authority and, when required, thrilling virtuosity are underpinned by a deep understanding of this epic work. He is magnificently partnered by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Andrew Litton, and his intimate dialogue with the solo cello in the slow movement is a high-point of this richly fulfilling interpretation. Marc-André's musicianship is further revealed in his poignant and searching performance of the four late solo pieces. For lovers of this composer, and of great piano-playing, this is essential listening.
Brahms completed his Second Piano Concerto at Pressbaum near Vienna in the summer of 1881 and dedicated it to Eduard Marxsen, his old piano teacher in Hamburg. The composer took the solo role in the premiere, given in Budapest on 9 November 1881, before playing the work on a triumphant tour of Austria, Germany and the Netherlands. Its reception was very unlike that accorded to his youthful D minor Concerto, completed in 1859, which had only slowly gained acceptance.
Yet the B flat Concerto manifests many paradoxes of scale and utterance. The piano part is less overtly virtuosic than in the First Concerto, but presents the soloist with even greater technical challenges. The solo part, especially in the first movement, also represents the culmination of everything Brahms had learned as a lifelong connoisseur of pianistic technique. Yet this huge concerto is more like chamber music writ large, a continuation and expansion of his approach in his piano quartets and Horn Trio, with many effects of intimate instrumental dialogue (horn and piano in the first movement; cello and piano in the third). Despite this intimacy of discoursewitness the very opening, growing from a horn-call of pure romance, answered by a piano solo of musing reveriethe concerto is nevertheless built on ample, quasi-symphonic lines, with four movements instead of three. And the first two of them, at least, are full of heroic bravura: hear the grand tutti the orchestra launches when it gets hold of the hornpiano theme. The whole work displays a leonine combination of gentleness and massive strengthbut strength which is held in reserve or employed for athletic relaxation.
Thus Brahms seems to meld the principles of concerto and symphonyespecially in the spacious first movement, Allegro non troppo, which grows organically into a grand tonal network of interconnected ideas. The piano does not merely repeat the themes of the orchestral tutti but engages in a wide-ranging dialogue by continually varying them. Despite the generally optimistic tone, darkness and passion have their placesthe former represented by sudden glimpses of distant tonal areas, the latter by the more choleric of the pianos monologues. After this the D minor scherzo, Allegro appassionato, hints at real tragedy. Its first subject has an impetuous zeal, while the second is a haunting tune full of submissive pathos. An angry development then leads to the trio sections grand, Handelian D major theme before the scherzo music returns, urgent and volatile to the last.
The spirit of chamber music is most marked in the Andante slow movement, which is framed by a deeply expressive cello solo, a kind of sublime lullaby which many have seen as an anticipation of the song Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer (My sleep grows ever quieter) that Brahms was to compose in 1886. The piano never has this tune, but muses upon its harmonic background in filigree passagework and decoration of the utmost plasticity. The overall impression is of self-communing improvisation, where motivic development dissolves into the stream of consciousness. There is a central episode, dominated by reflective piano arpeggios and clarinets in thirds, that might seem an exercise in pure sonority. Yet what the clarinets play is an exact quotation from Brahmss song Todessehnen (Yearning for death), composed three years earlier but not published until 1882 (as Op 86 No 6)an unusual self-quotation for this composer, confirming the deep personal significance of the movement.
The finale, Allegretto grazioso, releases the accumulated tensions in a playful rondo, strewing tunes around (many in Brahmss beloved Hungarian rhythms) like unconsidered pearls. This is a complex fusion of rondo and sonata form that wears its intricacy with insouciance. The piano summons up lilting, instantly memorable, themes in seemingly artless profusion. Yet there is immense artfulness here: not only in the many subtle rhythmic contrasts, but also in the gypsy languor of the second-subject tune, in the Mozartian wit of the epigrams bandied about between soloist and orchestra, and in the easy confidence of scoring that allows Brahms to write grand, full-hearted tuttis without once requiring trumpets or drums.
It may not be implausible to hear this concerto as a kind of pianistic autobiographyby a composer for whom the piano, and piano music, lay at the centre of his creativity. The first movements quality of carefully structured improvisation plausibly presents a portrait of the young virtuoso, responding to the voice of Nature (the horn theme) with a hugely confident display of pianistic technique. But the scherzo intervenes, in D minorfor Brahms a key of catastrophic associations (the First Piano Concerto, begun in the aftermath of Schumanns suicide attempt and incarceration in an asylum, makes this clear). However the robust and enlivening Handelian trio perhaps represents the saving grace of study, the power of the music of the past to strengthen and stabilize the composeras Brahmss Baroque studies had strengthened him, issuing at length in his Op 24 Handel Variations.
The slow movement would then indicate a period of withdrawal, of self-communing at the keyboard, almost of self-effacement. In Brahmss own solo output this mood is most clearly felt in the long series of late pieces which had begun during the 1870s with his Op 76 Klavierstücke. The wonderful main theme, however, is entrusted to the solo cello: the piano muses round it, decorates it, dialogues with the cello as a subordinate partner. The extent to which this movement resembles a cellopiano duet suggests (quite apart from the tenderness of the main idea) some imaginative link with Clara Schumann. Perhaps Brahms was thinking of the Romanze slow movement of her own youthful Piano Concerto of 1835, which is even more of a cellopiano duo. The song-quotation, too, is probably connected with his feelings for her, especially where the text (by Max von Schenkendorf) speaks of the secret heavy burden on the poets soul, which can only be lifted by union with the sisterly being of the beloved. The main tunes anticipation of Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer then fits into a potentially tragic context, for they are both songs about death, or the yearning for it. But the finale, with its Hungarian rhythms, its relaxed evocation of dance and song, counterbalances this by releasing an entirely different aspect of Brahmss pianism: his sizeable output of music for enjoyment and relaxation, most notably the Hungarian Dances and Liebeslieder-Walzer. This finale remains of the highest artistic quality (and is no relaxation for the pianist); but the popular elements blent in it are essential to any rounded portrait of its composer.
What was lacking in this portrait, of course, was an epilogue: a study of the composer in old age. For that we must turn to Brahmss final harvest of solo piano music. This comprises four sets of pieces published as his Opp 116119: twenty pieces in all, though he seems to have destroyed some others. Mostly they were composed around his sixtieth year, in 18911893. Into these works, short yet infinitely subtle, he distilled a lifetimes meditation on the pianos capabilities. A few of the pieces afford brief glimpses of the old fire and energy, but the predominant characterespecially in those pieces he titled Intermezzois reflective, musing, deeply introspective, and at the same time always exploring harmonic and textural effect, rhythmic ambiguity, structural elision and wayward fantasy.
The first three of the four Op 119 Klavierstücke are exactly such Intermezzi. The opening number, in B minor, is a ravishing Adagio which Clara Schumann (the first person to whom Brahms showed most of these late pieces) characterized as a grey pearl. It derives its material from a chain of falling thirds, a formula which Brahms used in many contexts. The main thematic idea is a downward arpeggio whose individual notes are sustained to form ambiguous vertical harmony, suggesting both B minor and D major, which is the focus of the very slightly contrasted central idea.
The second and third pieces both begin with rhythmic figures involving repeated notes: but whereas in the E minor Intermezzo (marked Andantino un poco agitato) this feature produces a nervous pulse-beat in dactylic rhythm, like a charming stammer, in the C major (Grazioso e giocoso) it produces a skittish 6/8 quaver motion with a nonchalant melody in the middle voice. Also, while the E minor Intermezzo evolves quite a large form, the central section transforming its main idea into an elegant E major waltz, the C major is shorter, with deft touches of humour, capriciously dissolving towards the end into fragile, rainbow-like arpeggios.
In contrast to these gentle Intermezzi the E flat Rhapsodie, Brahmss last piano piece, is cast in the heroic mould traditionally associated with its key. It has much the same virile manner we encounter in his two Op 79 Rhapsodies, but it is more compressed, creating its form with a freedom and spontaneity appropriate to its late date. As a foil to the principal tunea muscular, pounding affair in 2/4 time with asymmetrical Hungarian five-bar phrasingit evolves a subsidiary idea of tolling repeated notes with dissonant harmonies beneath, and an echt-Brahmsian second subject in C minor with a powerful triplet rhythm. A contrasting grazioso section is almost a parody of salon style, with its harped chords and tripping grace-notes. Brahms delays the return of the main theme, presenting witty and allusive variations of it. It makes its eventual reappearance at the Rhapsodys climax, but is almost immediately deconstructed in the coda, which ends this otherwise ebullient workand Brahmss piano outputin a stern E flat minor. This, almost certainly not by coincidence, had also been the key of his earliest published piano piece, the Op 4 Scherzo.

Yummm! – Sign me up for the Great Hill Roll and a Singapore sling any day! Great food, good prices, fantastic service.
good food, reasonably priced, good service – I have not had a bad meal here and have been dining here regularly, at least once/month, since about 2001.
They do need to be a bit more flexible with regard to seating policy, however, there have been times when I arranged to meet friends there when it was not at all busy-- many, many empty tables- yet they refused to seat us until all were present. I can understand that at peak times, but not when the place is practically empty.
Wonderful! – Not on the meenu:
Spicy Carlos is to die for! Susan is a close second. Yaki Maki takes at least 20 minutes but it is wonderful: California roll topped with crab and scallop and a cheese topping then broiled until warm. Awesome!
Bentos for lunch are really good. I recommend the beef.
Miso is good. Edamame is good. Rice is sticky with a hint of vinegar. Perfect sushi spot. My family an I really enjoy it time and time again.
Friendly wait staff.
Special Taste – I love love love Sushi Sake. I am very excited that they opened another restaraunt downtown called Yu sushi. My favorite thing to order is their Spicy Carlos Roll, it is the best sushi roll that I have ever had. It has a combination of different flavors that make it very unique. It is not on the menu, you have to special order it. I go eat there all the time lunch & dinner, and If I had to choose over any other sushi restaraunt, I would choose Sushi-Sake
Yeah...really not so good. – I had high expectations after reading the reviews on this site, but I must say I was sorely disappointed. I arrived prior to the other person in my party and was told that I could not be seated until he arrived. I understand this policy...when a restaurant is busy. However, over half the tables in the restaurant were empty. The host was quite rude about it too. Once I was sat, I noticed that the table was dirty and I had to use my napkin to clean off soy sauce and rice from a previous customer.
When my server approached the table he seemed hurried and annoyed. I ordered a spider hand roll and waited about ten minutes to get it. Once it arrived it tasted very strange. It had a grainy texture and was not good. I asked the server if I had gotten the correct roll and he proceeded to tell me that he thought I had, but he needed to "inspect it" closer up. He took the roll from the table then returned with the same roll about a minute later.
The server told me that he smelled it and it smelled like crab. Hmm, the roll was even less appetizing now. My server SMELLED my food, to determine that I had been served the correct item. I told him it did not taste right and he shrugged his shoulders. He did not offer to correct it or bring me something else. BAD customer service. We then proceeded to order three more rolls. The tempura shrimps was ok, but our other rolls were sub par. Small and tasteless.
I was very disappointed in the food and the service at Sushi Sake. I will definitely not be returning. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the interior was nicely decorated.
Food is yummy! – The sushi is pretty good! I've only been at lunch time (lunchtime specials). The prices are somewhat high, even at lunch time...but I know the dinner prices are much higher!
Consistently EXCELLENT sushi, good atmosphere, we are hooked – I LOVE sushi. But good sushi has 'ruined' me, in the sense that if I am in the mood for sushi, I can't just eat cheap sushi and be satisfied. The rice has to be just right, the fish fresh, the seaweed fresh. I have been just about everywhere in town, and Sushi Sake has been consistently excellent. They have never let me down in their quality. I'd recommend Sushi Sake hands down to anyone who loves sushi as much as I do, and to those who want to try it for the first time, alike. Oh-- and the Spicy Carlos, and Spicy Susan rolls are not to be missed (they're also not on the menu)-- they are excellent for those who are new to the sushi experience.
Incredible Sushi for REAL Sushi lovers! – The fish is the freshest and the rolls are so creative! We had the spicy Carlos Roll- Excellent! The Escolar and Salmon were mouth watering good. I cannot recommend Sushi Sake enough. Even the service was great. We never wanted for anything and were able to take our time and enjoy the entire experience. It may not be for people who go for the California rolls, but if you like real sushi- Sushi Sake is the place to be!
Not good sushi : ( – The sushi is not that great in Sushi Sake. We had the California roll and Spider roll there. The sushi rice is great, moist with fine texture. However, the overall taste just wasn?t good. The Spider rolls taste?
very fishy. After I had a bite of it, I felt like I needed to drink a lot of tea to cover up the bad taste. I won?t recommend this place to anyone. Pricey for that quality of food.

As of Thursday, November 29, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY — It was Westover principal William Chunn's idea, a final pat on the back to one of the best teams in Westover football history.
He called it "The Breakfast of Champions,'' and Thursday morning all 20 of the seniors on Westover's history-making team sat down and had breakfast with Chunn and football coach Octavia Jones.
This group became the first team in Westover history to host a playoff game and made it to the second round of the GHSAA Class AAAA state playoffs.
"We did it to show appreciation,'' Chunn said as the kids chowed down on pancakes, sausage, biscuits and orange juice amid red and blue balloons and a pair of city championship trophies. The Patriots are 8-1 in games against city teams and won the city title two of three years, including this season.
"In our book they are champions,'' Chunn said. "They made history this year, and it's something to be celebrated.''
Jones took over as the head football coach three years ago when he left one of the best track & field programs in the state at Monroe to coach the Patriots, who had only four winning seasons in their history when Jones arrived. They went 8-4 this season. It was only the third eight-win season in Westover's history.
"It's an opportunity for us to celebrate the accomplishments of this senior class,'' Jones said at the breakfast. "The coaches put a lot of pressure on the seniors to take ownership of this team and they did. They did a good job of becoming leaders on and off the field, and they have left something for the younger kids. They showed the undersclassmen how to be leaders.''

Congratulations, Westover for a good season!
tywebb 1 year, 4 months ago
in 2010, westover won 3 games: albany, monroe, and dougherty. that was it. but they still had a breakfast of champions breakfast. this year i can see it.....but 2010? what a joke! hey chunn, do you do breakfast of champions for ALL sports? Or just your money makers like football, track(i know, not a money maker), and basketball? when was the last breakfast for region champs in wrestling, CC, tennis, etc? don't be a hypocrite......have breakfast of champions for ALL sports......even if they go 3-10! you say they're all champions in your book......well, prove it......unless you only mean football players! 3 cheers for celebrating mediocrity

Get 100GB of free cloud storage from SurDoc
If you're looking for free cloud storage, you probably know the popular options: 2GB from Dropbox, 5GB from Box and SugarSync, 7GB from SkyDrive, 15GB from Google Drive, and so on.
Of course, these services aren't really built with backup in mind, and even if they were, that's probably not enough free space to handle your archival needs.
California-based SurDoc raises the bar by offering 100GB of free cloud storage for one year. After that, you'll pay a very reasonable $30 annually to keep the space.
Update: SurDoc has been down for the better part of … Read more

Nicolas Sarkozy, the President of France, doesn't like wine. He doesn't like smelly cheeses. He doesn't like truffles. He likes Diet Coke and candy and big Havana cigars. Such distaste for good taste is widely regarded as unnatural in France, but Sarkozy makes no apologies. He takes pride in his candor, and if it often comes across as uncouth and uncool his attitude is: So what? For example, he likes money. Why not? Who doesn't? But, in France, one is supposed to be motivated by nobler or more frivolous purposes. Read the novels: from Balzac through Stendhal, Flaubert, Zola, and Proust, much of French literature is about the hypocrisies of bourgeois society. The secrets and lies, the twisted desires and the bitterness, that attach to money are at the heart of the drama; and, still today, talking about money—particularly, speaking publicly and favorably, as Sarkozy does, of wanting, earning, and keeping it—is considered vulgar, even sordid. "In America, sex is the taboo. In France, it's money," the philosopher Pascal Bruckner told me. "Even for people on the social and political right, it's a fault—a moral fault." Sarkozy thought that was ridiculous. During his Presidential campaign, he presented himself as décomplexé—unhung-up—about money, but he talked about it so much that he appeared to be mighty complexé, after all. He valorized both labor and profit, and promised to liberate the French from what he saw as their state-sponsored lethargy: the mandatory thirty-five-hour workweek and the mandatory retirement at sixty for public-sector jobs, and all the government subsidies and protections that made such low productivity possible. Much better, Sarkozy said, to strive and to be rewarded, to have and to spend. Increased purchasing power was one of his rallying cries. For talking like that, for his swagger, and for his colloquial bluntness, and because he admired George W. Bush, they called him Sarko the American. "They consider it an insult, but I take it as a compliment," he told a Bush envoy in 2005, according to a diplomatic cable obtained by WikiLeaks. Sarkozy offered himself as a new model of can-do Frenchman, bent on forging a future even better than the idealized past. To the French, this was strange but exciting, and they took a chance on him.
Personally and politically, Sarkozy is such a singular figure that he can seem easy to caricature, but caricature thrives on exaggeration, and he is so overstated that he leaves the caricaturist little to work with. French Presidents are expected to possess an aura of aesthetic and intellectual refinement that dignifies the nation. Sarkozy doesn't pretend to radiate anything of the kind. In the year after his election, in May, 2007, his tabloid domestic life—a sensational divorce and a sensational remarriage—along with his obvious delight in consorting with the super-rich, earned him the nickname President Bling-Bling. His popularity sank, and kept on sinking.
Now, with six months left in his first term, Sarkozy is coming up for reëlection as an underdog, which entails an effort that his advisers have described as "represidentialization." This fall, he presided over the opening of an exhibition of modern art that will travel around the country, to be displayed without admission fees. It was an occasion for Sarkozy to be seen mingling with the people, bringing high art to the common man, and, after contemplating a monochrome orange square painted by Yves Klein, he expressed his admiration: "That costs millions." Then he expressed his wonder: "Is a Klein more than a Léger? Less than a Matisse?" His remarks prompted groans of dismayed mockery in the press. But he flouts etiquette so reliably that you can't call these things gaffes. A few days later, at a gathering of European leaders to discuss the sovereign-debt crisis that threatens to tear apart the European Union, the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, said something that Sarkozy didn't like, so Sarkozy told him, "You have lost a good opportunity to shut up." A few years ago, during an audience with the Pope, he was seen checking his BlackBerry. "He desecrates everything," Bruckner says, and describes Sarkozy as "like a figure from Italian comedy." Taken together, his clownish displays contribute to a deep distrust of Sarkozy, a feeling that he is inauthentic and, worse, not really French enough for his job.
Then again, the job itself is not as French as it used to be, because France is no longer a fully sovereign nation-state. It is one of twenty-seven countries that belong to the E.U. On paper, France has such a strong Presidency that the French regard their leader as a sort of republican king, elected not merely to govern but to reign. But the E.U. doesn't allow that. The writer and economist Jacques Attali was exaggerating a bit when he told me, in Paris this summer, "The Presidency is almost without power." But he was not overstating how things feel to a Frenchman—the sense of political vertigo that has accompanied European integration.
France no longer controls its own currency. France no longer controls its own borders. France has only limited control of its own defense. "We are like in a cartoon, where people see someone still running, not knowing that he has passed a cliff," Attali said. "That's the President." He described France today as "a no man's land"; what's more, he stressed, "we have done this on purpose, willingly, in the process of building a federal European state." And now the success of Europe is so uncertain. "That's the malaise of the French situation," he said, "to have given up the state as the DNA of identity, without acquiring the advantages of a new identity."

Arthur Putnam (American, 1873-1930)
Twilight Venus Holding Staff, 1909
Bronze 35 in. x 14 in. x 12 in. (88.9 cm x 35.56 cm x 30.48 cm)
Crocker Art Museum Purchase with contributions from the George and Bea Gibson Fund, Edan Milton Hughes's Artists in California Fund, Rose Huckins Memorial Fund, Collectors' Guild, F. M. Rowles Fund, and Roger and Carol Berry2006.111
While the history of painting in California has a rich visual tradition extending from Spanish settlement, sculpture did not come to the forefront of artistic expression until the late 19th century. At this time, Arthur Putnam and Douglas Tilden emerged as the first California sculptors celebrated at home and abroad. Putnam is best known today for his animal subjects, but he was also skilled at rendering the human figure. Born in Mississippi, he spent his early years in Nebraska. His interest in art and appreciation of animals began when his family moved to a ranch in Southern California, where he observed and sketched wildlife. To pursue art as a career, he came north to San Francisco in 1894 to study at the Art Students' League, and he also studied briefly in Chicago. After his marriage in 1899, Putnam moved to San Francisco, sharing a studio with the painter Gottardo Piazzoni. In 1905, Putnam and Piazzoni traveled to Italy, Switzerland, and France. In Paris, Putnam became familiar with sculptor Auguste Rodin's powerful figures with their Impressionistic modeling of form, an influence clearly evident in this dark Venus. An allegory of the night, Putnam's figure holds a staff bearing the face of an owl.

This week the Business of Art Vault brings this question:
"How, as an artist, can I make my practice relevant to the way contemporary consumers choose to interact with their media?"
From this question I have decided to put together the online essentials for the visual artist.
#1 Create a Website for Yourself!
Why? Because this is going to be the easiest way to get your work out to the public. It is an easy way to show people your work, your artist statement and your artist resume. It is also easy for other people to share, link to, pin on Pinterest, post to social media sites, etc.
Blog vs Website? This is something to consider when starting your website. Do you want a blog, a website or both. I personal would choose both. Your website can be where you show galleries of your work, have your written documentation posted and your contact information. Your blog can be where you show your audience what you are up to, what you are making, how you are making it, the inspiration for your work, the shows you are in, the residencies you are attending … you get the picture.
How? Let's assume you are like me and you know nothing about coding, website design, hosting and all that other good stuff that comes along with making a website. No problem! There are TONS of sites out there that make this stuff easy for you.
Here are some websites/blog sites that have great templates and will host your website taking all the hard steps out:
-WordPress (here is a post about free WordPress templates that are awesome for artists)
-Tumblr (here is a post about the Top 10 Tumblr themes)
#2 Use Social Media.
Why? Because it is a great way to keep people interested and aware of what you are up to. By using Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc. you can remind your audience that you are around, working hard and making amazing pieces.
What's the Key? Post regularly (this goes for your blog too). You have to keep posting new content in order to give people a reason to come back. If there is never new information why would anyone want to follow you on Twitter or fan you on Facebook? So make sure that if you start to use Facebook or Twitter that you are updating regularily.
Important things to consider: how personal do you want to be? What is the "tone" of your online personality? What kind of content do you want to share? Will your audience want to know that you have kids running around the studio? Will they want to know where you went partying last night? Think about what you are going to share on these sites before your start posting. The issue with Facebook and Twitter is sometimes the lines between personal life and professional life become blurry and you don't want to turn your audience off by over-sharing.
Here is a great post about Social Media Do's and Don'ts.
Popular Social Media Sites include:
#3 Add Your Work to Other Online Websites.
Why? Because you want to be in as many places as possible. The more work you have online in different places the better. This is going to open doors and get your work into the eyes of new people.
What's the Key? Having great images. These sites are about showcasing your work and without great images posting to these sites is going to be a waste of time. Take a look at our post about taking awesome pictures of your work.
Places to post your work include:
#4 Think about Opening an Online Shop …
Why? If you aren't ready to approach a commercial gallery or if you would rather handle the sale of your work this is a great alternative. Selling your work online can also open doors to opportunities depending on who might stumble upon your shop.
What's the Key? I'll say it again great images! Having high quality images are going to make all the difference here. Also, being aware of how to safely and properly ship your work is important.
Where? Here are some sites where you can you to sell your work or build your own shop:
#5 Start Building Your Contact List and Create Newsletters.
Why? What better way to send out your exhibit invites? Or the new listings to your online store? Newsletters are a great way to let people know about your upcoming events, new work and blog posts. Here is a great post with 23 Things to Talk about in Your Art Newsletter.
How? Building a newsletter can be really simple if you use an email newsletter provider like Mail Chimp (our personal fav.), Campaing Monitor or Constant Contact. All of these providers make it easy for you to add buttons to your website/blog and Facebook page so people can sign-up to your newsletter.
I hope these five essential online tools help you to build your online presence and get your work out to a new group of people!

HILLS residents will soon be able to use an online interactive tool to see how The Hills Local Environment Plan 2012 affects their property.
The tool will be available in the next few weeks.
The plan outlines what can and can not be done on land in the area.
It came into effect on October 5.
The plan establishes what land can be used for, the height of future buildings and environmental restraints.
Council officers said the plan focused higher density around local centres, amenities and infrastructure to maintain the bulk of residential areas as single dwellings.
The plan allows for five-acre subdivision on some rural properties in Maraylya, Nelson and Box Hill.
Mayor Michelle Byrne said the plan supported the character of the shire.
"[The plan] reinforces the role of our town centres as places of high activity and greater opportunities for density where the intensity of development should be — in locations with enhanced amenity, close to transport and services," Cr Byrne said.
The draft plan was criticised when it was exhibited because some North Ward residents said the plan's biodiversity overlay inhibited free use of their property.
The plan and maps can be viewed on the council website.

Educational Philosophy:
Educational Philosophy:
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. (Aristotle)
Educational Teaching Philosophy: As a decade has passed since I first began online courses. My online teaching philosophy continues to evolve. At the core of this is the student. I believe in student centered learning.
In our class, you will mainly engage in student-centered, interactive activities on the discussion board. You will probably participate more in this class than you have in a face-to-face course. Research shows the more actively you participate, the more you learn. To facilitate your participation, you will be able to utilize the eCollege asynchronous discussion boards. You will be able to access the eCollege synchronous Chat Room. I am usually online several times a day. You can also reach me through the eCollege email system. You can expect a 24 hour turn around on your assignments submitted through the eCollege Drop Box.
With the right tools, every student can learn and be a success. I work to establish a learning environment that allows you to grow. I try to construct assignments that are clear and creative. The heart of this is providing a number of opportunities for you the online student to learn. These tools include our eCollege Discussion Boards, Doc Sharing, Drop Box, Email, and Journals.
My goal as your facilitator/teacher is to create an online class that will stimulate your learning, expand your critical analysis abilities, and further develop your imagination.
Interaction requires that you keep up with course material and maintain an open mind. I will work to establish a learning environment that allows you to grow and construct assignments that are clear and creative. I will provide prompt, detailed, and personalized feedback.
Our course's cognitive core learning outcomes will be based on:
Ø Knowledge of the facts, terminology, and methods
Ø Comprehension and understanding of the conceptual information
Ø Application of the information in specific situations
Ø Analysis of the organizational structure in specific situations
Ø Synthesis involving creative applications of your knowledge and skills, and
Ø Evaluation of the relative value of the information
These core learning outcomes will be measured in our grading rubrics which will be attached to the syllabus.
You will be able to achieve and demonstrate these core learning outcomes through the use of the eCollege Discussion Boards, Email, Chat Room, Doc Sharing, Drop Box, and Journal.
By applying effective learning strategies, I can act as a facilitator which is the most effective tool in the learning development of students. I believe in maintaining a classroom and teaching lessons in a clear, organized, and thorough manner so that the learning process is sequential and interconnected. By doing so, this online class will have the opportunity to learn both independently and collaboratively.
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
Class Assessment:
Your grade will be determined by your work on the following: (1) Graded Homework assigned weekly; (2) Initial responses to weekly threaded discussion questions as well as participation on the Weekly Threaded Discussion Board; (3) Cases completed --group work; (4) Mid Term Exam; (5) PROCTORED Final Exam. All submissions will be graded on relevance, comprehensiveness, specificity, clarity and analytical skills, as well as writing skills.
Weekly Threaded Discussions: (Weeks 1 through 8)
Participation On Weekly Threaded Discussion Board: (Weeks 1 through 8)
Grading: Grading:
Late Submission of Course Materials:
Late/Incomplete Policy
Late homework will be penalized one letter grade for each day late. After one week no points will be available. Discussion/Participation CANNOT be made up.
Classroom Rules of Conduct: Classroom Rules of Conduct:
Very simple: I expect college level work and conduct.
Course Topic/Dates/Assignments:
Academic Honesty:As a learning community, the University upholds the highest standards of academic integrity in all its academic activities, by faculty, staff, administrators and students. Academic integrity involves much more than respecting intellectual property rights. It lies at the heart of learning, creativity, and the core values of the University. Those who learn, teach, write, publish, present, or exhibit creative works are advised to familiarize themselves with the requirements of academic integrity and make every effort to avoid possible offenses against it, knowingly or unknowingly. Park University 2009-2010 Graduate Catalog Page 31
Plagiarism involves the appropriation of another person's ideas, interpretation, words (even a few), data, statements, illustration or creative work and their presentation as one's own. An offense against plagiarism constitutes a serious academic misconduct. Although offenses against academic integrity can manifest themselves in various ways, the most common forms of offenses are plagiarism and cheating. Plagiarism goes beyond the copying of an entire article. It may include, but is not limited to: copying a section of an article or a chapter from a book, reproduction of an art work, illustration, cartoon, photograph and the like and passing them off as one's own. Copying from the Internet is no less serious an offense than copying from a book or printed article, even when the material is not copyrighted.
Plagiarism also includes borrowing ideas and phrases from, or paraphrasing, someone else's work, published or unpublished, without acknowledging and documenting the source. Acknowledging and documenting the source of an idea or phrase, at the point where it is utilized, is necessary even when the idea or phrase is taken from a speech or conversation with another person.
Park University 2009-2010 Graduate Catalog Page 31-32
Attendance Policy:
Professors are required to maintain attendance records and report absences. Excused absences can be granted by the instructor, for medical reasons, school sponsored activities, and employment-related demands, including temporary duty. Students are responsible for any missed work. Absences for two successive weeks, without approved excuse, will be reported to the Director of the individual graduate program, or to the Executive Director for the Graduate School, for appropriate action. Students with such a record of absences, without an approved excuse, may be administratively withdrawn from the class and notified that an "F" will be recorded, unless the student initiates official withdrawal from the class(es).Park University 2009-2010 Graduate Catalog Page 35
Disability Guidelines:Park University is committed to meeting the needs of all students that meet the criteria for special assistance. These guidelines are designed to supply directions to students concerning the information necessary to accomplish this goal. It is Park University's policy to comply fully with federal and state law, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, regarding students with disabilities. In the case of any inconsistency between these guidelines and federal and/or state law, the provisions of the law will apply. Additional information concerning Park University's policies and procedures related to disability can be found on the Park University web page: http://www.park.edu/disability .

I`m in the market for a new printer/scanner,and leaning to kodak.
now I will have shop some more.
Hp is the one I had but the ink cost almost as a new printer.
Who better to ask about a new printer than a bunch of plumbers?
I am up to here with Kodak. My 5300 is 14 months old. They replaced the print head twice, and in Feb. gave me a brand new printer. It has croaked again. I sent Kodak an email telling them it would be in the front yard with a lemon tree planted in it.
Anyway, now I am shopping!
I bought that Kodak specifically because I wanted the feature of printing archival quality color photos. Regular inkjets, photos can fade in a matter of months or a few years. But I think other brands now have photoprinting with longevity.
I probalby will consider HP and/or Epson. Anyone have a fairly new printer they like??
I shop almost exclusively on line, but for "major" hard goods, I usually opt for a local store. But I am seeing some great buys on Amazon, and dealnews.com
I`m in the market for a new printer/scanner,and leaning to kodak.
now I will have shop some more.
Hp is the one I had but the ink cost almost as a new printer.
The issue of the expense of ink cartridges was one of the things that led me to the Kodak. The print head is a separate module, unlike a lot of the other printers where the expensive print head is replaced with each new cartridge. It turns out there is a reason for that....the head is a precision device which suffers wear each time it spits out a little drop of ink, and just needs to be replaced. Kodak though they could get by, but as I mentioned I had early and repeated failures of the print head, under very light to moderate usage.
In my rant to Kodak, I told them to go back to making Kodachrome, because nothing else is working for them. ( They recently ticked me off regarding my Kodak camera, and their online Kodak gallery. I have a whole list of rants...don't get me started!)
I been using a Xerox Phaser 8560, its pretty sweet. I got mine through their free color printer program. I have to print at least 1200 pages a month and fax over a usage report once a month, as long as I meet the quota I do not have to pay a monthly under usage fee. To meet the quota I print all my spec sheets for job quotes, invoices, and fliers. It also doesn't use them big toner cartridges, it uses the wax blocks which means a whole lot less waste. Oh after 3 years of meeting their quota you will be done with the program and you will own the printer free and clear. http://www.freecolorprinters.com/xer...or-printer.cfm

Not braggin, just what I got. Ink is highway robbery though.
Have not had trouble with it but then again don't do a lot of the bells and whistles. (Does it even have any¿) Just prints and thats fine with me. Has a scanner too. Supposedly a fax machine although without a LAN line never gave a rats you know what.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is buying two rocket nozzles from Volvo Aero Corporation. The nozzles are intended for the LE-7A, the main engine of the Japanese H-2A launcher.
Volvo Aero Corporation, a subsidiary of Volvo, and MTU München, a subsidiary of Daimler-Benz Aerospace (Dasa, Munich), today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on closer mutual cooperation.
AVC Intressenter AB - a holding company jointly owned by Volvo Aero and Atlas Copco - has finalized the previously announced sale of VOAC Hydraulics. The buyer is the US-based company Parker Hanifinn Corporation.
Volvo Aero Engine Services, VAES, in Bromma outside Stockholm has decided to carry out a plan of action to ensure profitability. Despite good order inflow during 1995 the company took a loss. The plan of action includes a cost-level reduction of SEK 75 million which also involves giving notice to 140 employees. VAES sales in 1995 amounted to SEK 620 million and the company has 570 employees.

Simple Log is a small library that does logging very simply and requires you to do almost nothing (other than actually logging) to get log output to happen. It is much simpler to use than a logging framework, especially in terms of configuration. It doesn't attempt to solve every logging problem in one package, but contains enough features to be a viable alternative for most applications that need logging. This tool will handle the logging needs of most small- to large-sized projects, but with an almost non-existent learning curve.
x4juli is a port of the main parts of log4j to the J2SE Logging API. The default implementation is incomplete and therefore still not widely used, even when introduced in J2SE 1.4. x4juli provides logmanagers, formatters, handlers, and filters to fill the gap. The interface and use of the original API has not been changed. Additionally, x4juli delivers a native implementation of the Jakarta Commons Logging (JCL) API and the Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) API.
The DPML SDK is a management platform for Java-based component development, resource management, and deployment. It is composed of the Transit resource management layer, the Depot multi-project build system, the Metro component management runtime engine, and the Station application management console.
SubEthaSMTP is an easy to understand Java library that provides a receptive SMTP server component. By plugging this component into your Java application, you can easily receive SMTP mail using a simple abstract Java interface. Also included is a small sub-project called Wiser, an easy to use incoming mail testing framework.
JChav is a way to see the change in performance of your Web application over time by running a benchmark test for each build you produce. It is an Ant task that, when used in conjunction with the JMeter ant task, produces historic views of the performance of your application. Charts are produced for individaul pages of the application along with summary data. If integrated with cruise-control or similar build tools, you will get an idea if the changes you are making to your Web application are improving or degrading performance.

Hotels these days find themselves having to contend with not just a recessionary economy and a public afraid to travel, but also some residual hard feelings from punch-drunk planners who long have warned the hospitality to play nice because what goes around, comes around. Now that the market's turned, hotel chains are hearing their message loud and clear—and trying to do some things to improve their planner relationships.
One effort from Chicago-based Hyatt Hotels and Resorts involves simplifying its meetings contracts to make them more user-friendly, says company spokesperson Rafal Karkis. "We're working to make it easier for the hotel and the planner to reach agreement, and to simplify the language through better verbiage." The shorter, simpler contract is slated to debut in January.
Washington-based Marriott International is taking a different tack: It announced in late November that it would indefinitely eliminate early-departure and toll-free phone call fees. Adam's Mark Hotels also took off toll-free phone access charges earlier this fall.
Dave Scypinski, senior vice president of industry relations with Starwood Hotels & Resorts, White Plains, N.Y., says Starwood is going to leave it to hotels to negotiate as they see fit. "We have some cities that are doing well, some that are distressed, and others that are in-between. To put a corporate-wide program into place that addresses every hotel we have in the portfolio…in some cases would be making us be our own worst enemy."
Of Hyatt's plan to introduce simplified contracts, Scypinski says: "Been there, done that. When Christie Hicks and I first came to Starwood a few years back, the first thing we did was take our 15-page contract down to six pages. We put it in easy-to-read language, and added the clauses that invariably show up on customer addendums. Now I'm just chuckling that other chains are coming out with simplified contracts. Well, duh. Customers have been asking for that for 10 years."
Like Starwood, Hilton Hotels Corporation, Beverly Hills, Calif., isn't making any corporate-mandated policy changes, according to Kathy Shepard, vice president, corporate communications. "There are lots of concessions being negotiated on a case-by-case basis at individual hotels. Times are tougher, and we're eager to work with planners." She says Hilton is offering incentives, but they're customized to meeting the needs of specific groups and hotels.
"Whatever we can do to make it happen, we're doing—as long as we're not asked to give away the store," says Shepard. "But we're fairly open to whatever's out there."
"This past fall was a wake-up call in so many ways," says Scypinski. "We went from having our best year ever to our worst year ever in six months. It was a severe lesson, but a good one in the long run. We won't neglect our customers again."

Healthcare: Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS)
The Covisint PQRS application is now closed for the 2013 reporting year. However, information on 2014 PQRS reporting is coming end of May.
Can't wait for the new information? Have another PQRS related question? We're happy to help. Contact us today at 866-823-3958 or email@example.com.
PQRS Reporting - Now Required in 2013.
Did you know that if you do not report PQRS successfully in 2013, you will automatically receive a 1.5% payment adjustment in your 2015 fee schedule? And, it increases to 2% in subsequent years. Trust Covisint PQRS for your 2013 PQRS reporting and feel confident that the penalties are not in your future! Feel overwhelmed? Covisint PQRS has been a certified registry vendor since 2008. We can help.
PQRS Made Easy
Participation in the Physician Quality Reporting System, formerly known as PQRI, does not have to be complicated with complex coding systems and expensive manual processes. Whether a single provider or large hospital group, Covisint PQRS simplifies the PQRS process. In addition to avoiding the penalty, eligible physicians can earn an additional 0.5% of total estimated Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) allowed charges for the reporting year.
PQRS Web Application for Self Reporting
Using Covisint PQRS, physicians simply select a measures group to report on. Covisint offers all 22 CMS-approved measures groups. Simply use our data collection forms to collect the clinical data for 20 unique patients (greater than half need to be Medicare Part B fee-for-service) then enter and submit the data using the Covisint PQRS application. No coding errors—just real clinical data resulting in real payments.
PQRS for Large Provider Groups, Hospitals, GPRO
According to the alternative reporting method and criteria for PQRS, each eligible provider can report at least 3 individual measures for 80% of their applicable Medicare Part B FFS patients. Large provider groups can use Covisint PQRS to meet these requirements by providing a combined data file that includes data available from:
- Practice Management, Billing and/or Claims Systems
- Lab Data
- Prescriptions or Pharmacy Claims Data
The data is evaluated to determine which CMS measures are available, analyzed to determine the distribution of measures per provider (or per group for GPRO) and electronically submitted to CMS. Covisint PQRS offers a simple, effective and affordable way for every provider to meet the 2013 PQRS reporting requirements. Need further information? Contact Covisint by phone 866.823.3958 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

If any team has embodied the "never say die" cliché, it's the St. Louis Cardinals.
Denver has gone from a pretty quarterback who puts up big passing numbers but cant win to an ugly quarterback who does just about everything wrong yet still wins.
It's hard to take an NBA player seriously during contract negotiations when he's wearing a white T-shirt and a crooked baseball hat.
I hate to say it, but I was impressed with Jay Cutler's losing performance against the Lions on Monday night.
While they left the Braves and Red Sox heartbroken, four regular season-ending games played out to be some of the best sports drama of all time.
It may be very early in the season in two tough divisions but at least there's hope for the Lions and Bills. More than I can say for a Kyle Orton-led Broncos team.
College athletics isn't supposed to be centered around money but the changing field of conferences would suggest otherwise.
If nothing else will get naysayers serious about fighting climate change, maybe a shift in the way football is played will?
Oregon should have played the way it knows how to: quick and nifty.
For one Eagles fan, making Vick the face of the team is a tough pill to swallow even though he's the team's best chance for success.
With a flunked HGH test for a Colorado Springs Sky Sox player, the beginning of the HGH era in North America has officially began.
Kyle Orton has proven to be the best quarterback so far at Broncos training camp, but that means nothing if he can't lead the team to victory.
Dan Patrick doesn't have expert insiders. He doesn't have neon special effects. What he does have is a lot of fun and a damn good show.
In a trade that looked like a rebuilding trade, the Rockies dish their ace for more pitching talent in its farm system.
Should we, as fans, care about the details of the new CBA?
It wasn't the biggest or most physical team that won the women's World Cup, but it certainly was the best and most deserving team.
Just like a salivating dog at a barbecue, the I.R.S. is sniffing around Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit.
Injuries, a tired bullpen and a struggling offense are keeping the Rox stuck in mediocrity.
For the good of baseball, Dodgers owner Frank McCourt must go, and soon.
He's only got 17 more Major victories to go, but at age 22, the newest U.S. Open winner has plenty of time.

FORTUNE -- If anyone can bring some bite to Apple's green programs, it's Lisa Jackson. Trained as a chemical engineer, Jackson revamped the declawed version of the Environmental Protection Agency that she inherited in 2009. Sure, Congress shot down her proposed carbon cap and trade program, but she was able to pass emissions regulations that are changing the shape of the U.S. energy landscape.
Now, she's headed to Apple (AAPL). CEO Tim Cook announced at All Things D's tech conference on Tuesday that Jackson would soon head its environmental efforts, though he didn't mention her exact title. In fact, he didn't relay much of anything, according to Fortune writer Adam Lashinsky.
Hiring Jackson makes sense for Apple, as the company has been attempting to up its sustainability game. For example, it pledged to run all its facilities off of renewable energy by the end of this year. As of 2012, Apple claims, it was 75% there.
The company has made some environmental missteps, however. Last year, Cook wanted to pull Apple devices off of green product registry EPEAT, claiming that Apple's internal standards were above and beyond the third party's. Cook reversed his decision a week later, after Apple received unanticipated backlash from the press. No doubt Apple hopes that having Jackson at the company's eco-wheel will steer the tech giant clear of such blunders going forward.
MORE: Microsoft stages nebulous Chinese comeback
Though she's spent her stint at the EPA working through policy in Washington, she's spoken directly to the tech community before. In fact, at Fortune's Brainstorm Tech Conference in 2010, Jackson urged tech executives there to consider the life cycles of their products. "When you think about how you're designing," she said, "think about how it will come apart."
She also seemed hopeful that the tech world would understand environmental policy before other industries in this country. "The tech field is younger and greener and cooler by nature. They take their products back, and they're starting to have a real ethic of corporate responsibility."
Brainstorm Tech was one of the many high-profile, public conferences that Jackson attended as head of the EPA. Throughout her tenure, she was tech-savvy and open for an administrator, and brought the EPA along with her. The EPA, in fact, didn't really have a face until she got there. It'll be interesting to see how she uses her strong, public presence at the traditionally tight-lipped Apple.
