Medicare Brain Trust Floats SGR Solutions
What could be called a Medicare brain trust made an appearance last week on Capitol Hill in the first in a series of roundtable discussions on Medicare physician payments and hosted by the Senate Committee on Finance.
In attendance were Gail R. Wilensky,PhD; Bruce C. Vladeck, PhD; Thomas Scully; and Mark McClellan, MD and PhD. Each has headed the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services or its predecessor, the Health Care Financing Administration.
In his opening statement Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), who chairs the committee, said the idea was to "focus on where things stand now and how we got here." He was referring, of course, to that scourge of politicians and providers: the sustainable growth rate formula.
Panic Mode
Congress and physicians are in a bit of panic right now because of the 27% cuts to physician payments that is slated to take effect in January 2013. In the old, pre-debt reduction days, Congress simply looked the other way as it voted to ignore the SGR for 10 years.
Now though it's becoming increasingly difficult for Congress to kick the SGR can down the road. Plus this is an election year, which puts Congress on the hotseat. It must resolve the longstanding issue without appearing to stick it to physician voters.
That brings us to the Medicare brain trust.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

A successful proposal to fix the SGR needs to be developed soon. I read a write up by Han Zhong a policy analysis at the American Action Forum discussing the unhappiness of doctors. Some of their unhappiness seems to have a lot to do with problems the SGR has caused. I know I do not want to be cared for by a doctor in a bad mood. Really Interesting[INVALID]> http://bit.ly/ISg0dq
Kerry Willis MD (5/16/2012 at 2:35 PM)
They couldn't buy a vowel and solve the puzzle if they had to much less fix the SGR problem. BTW Its not that hard http://tbd-consulting.typepad.com/healthcare_talent/2011/12/dear-mr-president.html

Staff Writer
---- — It's against the law for minors to buy and use tobacco products in Massachusetts, and if new legislation is passed, electronic cigarettes will be snuffed out for them, too.
Battery operated electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, consist of a cartridge that contains liquid, which is then vaporized and inhaled by the user. In most Massachusetts cities and towns, it's legal for anyone to purchase these smoke-free products as an alternative to paper cigarettes.
But, State Rep. Jeffrey Sanchez, D-Boston, thinks that's a bad idea, and last month filed a bill to make e-cigarettes inaccessible to minors. In addition, the legislation would ban the use of e-cigarettes in all locations where smoking is prohibited, including workplaces and public school grounds.
"Most people assume that our laws cover that issue," Sanchez, of Jamaica Plain, said in regards to sales to minors. "That is why we are trying to get at it. How do we make sure we keep nicotine, in any forms, and nicotine delivery, out of the hands of minors?"
Rep. Diana DiZoglio, D-Methen, supports the proposal, calling it "common sense legislation."
"Just like regular cigarettes, electronic cigarettes contain nicotine," she said. "Therefore, there should be guidelines in place to make sure that we are not allowing sales to minors."
The health effects of using e-cigarettes remains unclear. Further testing is needed to identify the levels of nicotine each brand of electronic cigarette contains, according to Tami Gouveia, executive director of Tobacco Free Massachusetts, as well as to determine the potential health risks.
"We don't know what the public health impacts are," Gouveia said, adding there are also no consumer protections.
"The medical community seems to agree that most e-cigarettes contain nicotine and other carcinogens and the FDA has issued warnings about the health hazards associated with e-cigarettes," said Rep. Linda Dean Campbell, D-Methuen.
Until further research is conducted, Campbell said, they should be subject to the same restrictions as traditional tobacco products as it applies to the sale to minors.
Rep. Paul Brodeur, D-Melrose, co-sponsor of the legislation, said he's motivated to change state law to prevent young people from buying e-cigarettes because he has seen marketing ramped up recently.
"To the extent these things become established as a safe and effective aid in helping people quit smoking, that is fabulous," he said. "I wouldn't want to get in the way of that at all."
However, he said, "When they are marketed by people like Jenny McCarthy ... and have names like Orange Crush and Ghetto Grape, I think it is a little disingenuous to claim there is no effort to target these products to kids."
The FDA blocked importation of e-cigarettes from 2008 to 2010 by ruling they were "unapproved drug/device combination products" under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. However, that decision was overturned by a federal judge, on the basis that e-cigarettes could be regulated as tobacco products, unless advertised for a therapeutic purpose.
Since their emergence in the US market, awareness and use has continually increased, with 1 in 5 current smokers using e-cigarettes, according to the Committee on Public Health. Some people make the switch from cigarettes to the electronic version in an attempt to quit smoking.
Prices range from around $10 for a typical electronic cigarette that requires replacement liquid cartridges to as much as $70 for a polished wooden model that can be refilled. The products were first developed in China by small manufacturers who were quickly acquired by the tobacco giants.
All three major tobacco companies plan to market their own version of e-cigarettes by the end of the year. R.J. Reynolds Vapor Co. launched its Vuse electronic cigarette this summer in Colorado. Altria Group Inc., parent company of the nation's largest cigarette maker, Philip Morris USA, will soon debut its product, MarkTen, in Indiana.
The industry has indicated it is not opposed to prohibiting sales to minors, according to Gouveia, from Tobacco Free Massachusetts. A spokesman for R.J. Reynolds could not be reached for comment.
The bill does not address taxes on the products. E-cigarettes and nicotine delivery products are currently not subject to state tobacco taxes. Sanchez said the tax debate on e-cigarettes could take place later. The focus of his bill is on making sure "it is impossible for kids to get these products in their hands." Lawmakers last month tacked another $1 on to the tobacco tax, bringing it up from $2.51 to $3.51 per pack.
Material from the State House News Service is included in this report.

Met w/Titans too @rapsheet: Ryan Fitzpatrick met w/ Bengals & Marvin Lewis last nt. Could see that come together, tho others are interested
Met w/Titans too @rapsheet: Ryan Fitzpatrick met w/ Bengals & Marvin Lewis last nt. Could see that come together, tho others are interested— Kimberly Jones (@KimJonesSports) March 18, 2013
This is interesting. The Titans have apparently met with Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was cut by the Buffalo Bills last week. Obviously if the Titans were to sign Fitzpatrick, that would be the end of Matt Hasselbeck with the Titans.
Fitzpatrick played well at times for the Bills, but he was never good enough to justify the ridiculous contract they gave him a couple of years ago. He would be an interesting back-up option here. His upside would be higher than Hasselbeck's in that role at this point, but he could not replace the knowledge Hass brings to that room. The knowledge might be more important if Jake Locker stays healthy all season.
Could they bring in Fitzpatrick to have an open competition with Locker in camp? Sure, but we all better hope Locker wins that one going away or we are all in trouble.
The numbers on a Fitzpatrick contract would also be really important. Would they save enough by signing him and cutting Hass to sign Elvis Dumervil? If the answer is yes, that is a mighty intriguing proposition....

Earth's Best organic infant soy formula has been pulled from the shelves of QFC and Fred Meyer stores across the region after a customer bought a container and realized it had been tampered with, according to KOMO News.
The Kirkland resident bought a container and realized the Earth's Best Organic label had a cheaper brand's label underneath it.
The spokeswoman for Kroger, the parent company of both QFC and Fred Meyer, told KOMO News that the product has been pulled from the shelves of all 233 stores.
There is a black market for these types of products, she said, but it's unclear at this time how the product made Kroger's shelves.
Anyone who has bought the Earth's Best organic soy infant formula is asked to return it to the store for a refund or another product.

Pension scandal meeting to include bid to suspend council chief executive
Updated 3:22pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News
PEMBROKESHIRE County Councillors will discuss whether to suspend chief executive Bryn Parry-Jones on Friday as the fall-out over the 'unlawful' pension payments scandal continues.
Among the agenda items for the extraordinary meeting of the council is a notice of motion laid down by Labour group leader Cllr Paul Miller and signed by nine members.
It calls for Mr Parry-Jones to be immediately suspended, the controversial pay supplement revoked and further investigations to continue.
The meeting is a requirement of the damning Wales Audit Office report which labelled a scheme whereby Mr Parry-Jones and another officer opted out of the Local government Pension Scheme but received the employers' pension contributions in direct payments, to be unlawful.
Dyfed-Powys Police has already said it is liaising with the Crown Prosecution Service over the matter.
But the agenda papers show that Pembrokeshire County Council steadfastly refutes the Auditor's opinion that the scheme is unlawful.
An eight page report by the Monitoring Officer works its way through the Auditor's concerns and bats them off - with the exception of the council failing to pay due regard to public sector equality which is described as "an oversight that is regretted."
The council maintains that:
- the Senior Staff Committee that took the decision to allow the scheme did have the power to do so;
- the decision was taken to aid senior staff recruitment and was "a policy decision rather than a decision favouring one employee";
- that there is no requirement for officers to declare an interest in an item, even if they have a direct interest;
- that the payment did comply with the Senior Staff Committee's decision that the scheme should not cost the council additional money.
Councillors will receive detailed legal advice to support the council's position, a spokesman said.
He added: "In that advice the Auditor clearly states that he is not suggesting that "a pay supplement of this type is intrinsically and necessarily unlawful.
"Further independent expert advice will be shared with Council demonstrating that the pensions facility offered to County Council staff is used in other public sector organisations in the health and university sectors."
Council Leader Jamie Adams said: "It is important that Councillors have the opportunity to consider all the relevant evidence before deciding how best to respond to the Auditor's recommendations.
"For example, one of the misunderstandings that has developed is that, as a result of this arrangement, two senior officers of the council are receiving tax free pay supplements.
"That is simply not true. For officers who chose to remain in the Local Government Pension Scheme, employee and employer pension contributions are tax free.
"However, in electing to leave the scheme and make their own arrangements for retirement, the officers concerned are paying considerably more tax on a monthly basis than would otherwise be the case."
"Another misunderstanding that has arisen is that a criminal act has been committed. I understand that at a recent meeting with the Authority, the Auditor confirmed that he was not suggesting this was the case."
Councillor Adams continued: "I am looking forward to the debate.
"It is of the utmost importance that Members do not allow a perception to arise that they had predetermined their position on these matters before seeing all the evidence that will be presented to Council."
The meeting takes place at County Hall on Friday, February 14 at 10am. The meeting is open to the public and will also be broadcast via the web at www.pembrokeshire.public-i.tv/core/

And let's be honest, in many cases where nothing has been found wrong or illegal the person (six or seven I suggest in THIS case including past and present leaders of the council) go back to work, let's not forget unlawful acts have already been proven

Much like the people of Italy and Greece (and indeed of the EU) we, the people of Pembrokeshire, cannot elect or remove the most powerful bureaucrats in the land (and their hangers-on)
Please, do something about it - they are bleeding us dry.
Sadly, I suspect, irreparable damage has already been done and the money for services is running out fast. Whatever happens the money will still be there for their pensions of course.

"The report, to be considered by members of the National Assembly's public accounts committee on Thursday as part of their inquiry into senior management pay, reveals that in 2012-13, Pembrokeshire County Council chief executive Bryn Parry-Jones was the highest paid local government officer in Wales – even though his authority was 14th out of 22 in terms of population size.
Mr Parry-Jones was paid £194,661 – almost £11,000 more than the then chief executive in Cardiff, Jon House.
A recent report from the Assistant Auditor General for Wales Anthony Barrett declared that the council had acted unlawfully in paying Mr Parry-Jones a supplement to his salary rather than employer's contributions to the Local Government Pension Fund."
Parry-Jones has got to go. Can we trust the Councillors to make the right decision? I don't think so...

If the council do not even suspend him while he tries to clear his name (let alone sack him) and defy the Audit Office, they will surely only bring more problems on themselves from Audit Office + Government. If the only way to clean the stables is to abolish it, they are bringing this on themselves by defying the authorities at a time when merger/abolition of councils is actively under consideration. Also - why are they still being so secretive about who the other officer is? Will this be revealed in the debate?

Andover native Brittany C. Conlin, Central Catholic alumni class of 2008, was presented the Christopher Becker Memorial Prize at a recent senior award ceremony at Quinnipiac University.
The prize recognizes a student with the highest GPA among graduating history majors.
David Valone, associate professor and chairman of the History Department stated, "Brittany has done fantastic work both in her history major and in her other courses at Quinnipiac over the past four years. She wrote a truly outstanding senior thesis that examined the transformation of women's roles in American society during the 1950s and the 1960s."
Conlin has been an active member of the Quinnipiac chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the national honor society for history.
While achieving a 4.0 GPA, she has been active in the Quinnipiac Future Teacher Organization, QU History Club and maintained an internship with the Connecticut Reading Association.
She received her bachelor's degree in history, magna cum laude on Sunday, May 20, and has immediately continued her education by pursuing a masters in arts of teaching, secondary education.
Brittany Conlin hopes to one day inspire middle and high school students with the love of learning and the fascination of history, according to a release.
"Brittany will make an exceptional history teacher," said Professor Valone when congratulating her parents, Dennis and Tina Conlin, of Andover.

Dolphins Geared For Final Home Matches of the Season
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.- Southern Oak Stadium will see a ton of action this week as the Jacksonville University men's soccer team host their final two matches of the regular season. Perhaps the most exciting rivalry of the Atlantic Sun, North Florida takes a trip down 295 for a 7 p.m. match on Wednesday, Oct. 6. The Dolphins will conclude their home slate on Saturday, Oct. 9 for a Senior Day contest against Stetson at 7 p.m.
"This game and overall rivalry with UNF is a special rivalry for a lot of people around the Jacksonville area," said Head Coach Ryan Pratt. "It means a lot to our team, not because of the rivalry but because it is a game with a lot of importance that can impact the way the rest of our season goes. This game isn't any more important to us than games we've already played or will play. They are all equally important to our program."
Currently 4-10-1 (2-4-0 A-Sun), the Dolphins are looking to gain momentum and break a four-game losing streak with the A-Sun tourney around the corner. Wins this week will give the team a boost in conference standings and provide them with the opportunity to secure one of the top six spots needed to receive a tournament invitation.
A positive sign for the Dolphins is the resurgence of junior forward Matheus Saroli. Playing as a reserve in JU's last match against FGCU, he led the team in shots and shots on goal. Opponents should also be leery of sophomore forward Nathan Dalton who has made solid efforts for the Fins with his three goals and two assists.
Our River City rivals, UNF, are coming off of back-to-back 1-0 wins over Mercer and Stetson. Jean Rivaroli leads the team with four goals and Drew Spragg trails closely with three.
Tied with seven league points in the final week of play, UNF,
Stetson and Mercer are battling for the fifth spot in the conference. The
Hatters (2-4-1, 3-9-3) saw their two-game win streak snapped in a 1-0 overtime
loss to the Ospreys last Saturday. Chase Rodgers leads the team with three
goals but the Dolphins need to keep watch on Raffaele Centofanti who seems to
be the facilitator of most of the Hatters scoring opportunities with five assists.

Draft day is right around the corner and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are finishing up with their pre-draft visits this week. Tennessee safety Eric Berry, Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant, and Syracuse wide receiver Mike Willliams all visited One Buc Place on Monday. On Tuesday, the team is scheduled to visit with Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
The Bucs are receiving visits today from Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant, Syracuse receiver Mike Williams and safety Eric Berry.
Source: St. Petersburg Times - Rick Stroud
PewterReport.com's Take: Tampa Bay's pre-draft visits cover a variety of topics. One of the most important things the team wants to do is to find out more about a player's character. Two out of the three prospects that visited the Bucs today have been absent from the gridiron at one point of their college careers. Those players are wide receivers Dez Bryant and Mike Williams.
The Bucs are in the market for a wide receiver and both of Bryant and Williams could be options on draft day. Bryant is an expected middle to late draft choice in round one and he could be an option if the team was to trade down in the first round or trade back into the first round to aquire him. Bryant, 21, has some maturity issues and missed most of last season due to an NCAA suspension.
Mike Williams could be considered by the Bucs during day two or three of the draft. Williams had a very productive college career, but he decided to leave football in 2008. Although Williams came back in 2009, he left NFL teams wondering about his commitment. The Bucs have shown their concern about bringing in players with questionable character this offseason and this was reinforced as they did not pursue new Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes due to his character concerns.
Safety Eric Berry could also be in the mix if for Tampa Bay if the team was to trade down in the first round. Berry hasn't been linked to any character problems like the other prospects that visited on Monday. Berry is also familiar with the Tampa 2 scheme, as he played under former Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin in college. The Tennessee star might be the only player of the three to visit today that could be a candidate to be selected with the Bucs third overall selection, although that would be very unlikely if either Ndamukong Suh or Gerald McCoy were still available.

A building on the campus of the University of South Carolina has been reopened after it was evacuated because of a possible chemical leak Wednesday afternoon.
The Columbia Fire Department was called to the building at 300 Main Street just after 1 p.m. The building is USC's College of Engineering and Information Technology Annex.
The Columbia Fire Department says the hazardous materials team was called to the scene to investigate an unknown chemical leak. Firefighters closed Main Street between Whaley and Catawba Streets.
Brick Lewis with the Columbia Fire Department said investigators swept the building twice and they could not determine what the chemical was or where it originated. Lewis says there is no threat.
People were allowed back into the building prior to 4 p.m. and the 300 block of Main Street was reopened about an hour later.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
The ginger limeade at Clementine in Century City has a Zen-like subtlety that gets us every time. We'd even deem it the best in L.A., were it not for the Border Grill's minty lime cooler, an elixir with all the zip of a mojito but none of the hangover—which is why it's been dubbed the Shirley Temple of the Cuban cocktail world. It's so fresh, it snaps. The goods? Freshly squeezed lime blended with sugar, sparkling water, and mint leaves (add some white rum and—presto—you're in Mojitoville). Border Grill serves it in a festive purple and orange glass with a wedge of lime on top. »
Success! Your message should arrive shortly.

Setting the mood to this electrifying evening of events was Oakland Faders own, DJ Platurn; keeping heads busy while in between performances. Longtime Zion I kinsmen Deuce Eclipse displayed his lyrical prowess over Latin/hip-hop grooves. His set had myself, as well as the whole crowd, hypnotized; anticipating what he'll do next. Switch from English to words in Spanish only added to the drama he brought to the stage. I thought to myself, "how would I classify his sound & presence…" And I thought, a Hip-Hop Carlos Santana.
This is not to take way from Eligh of Living Legend's performance. His performance was an exhibition of metaphorical meticulousness; unfolding lyrics at autobahn speed with the precision of a sniper. Giving fans a taste on what to expect on his newest album,
And then the moment we were all waiting for, the Zion I crew step on stage like they were greeting a crowd of friends to a celebration. They were the stars of the night; shaking fans hands showing the continued love for support. Zion I had command over the crowd like train conductors; heads bobbing in hypnosis as they inhale the gifts brought by the legendary Bay Area emcees. Zumbi guided fans on a trip through Zion I classics from their previous releases before they pulled out new bangers from there lastest endeavor, Atomic Clock. The biggest treat was when Amp Live stepped out from behind the turntables and started playing digital tag between his MIDI controller and the crowd which is something I've never witnessed at a hip hop show.
Most definitely this was a show in which I was extremely impressed by the entire line-up. Once again they brought the experience of a hip-hop performance to another level; a higher plateau for other acts to strive for. Also, this was a show for fans of all ages, now that's love!!!

We are four games into the Rudy Gay era for Toronto and now we have his first game-winning shot. Coming into tonight, he averaged 24.7 points with an approximate 43 percent FG%. But tonight, the early returns weren't all rainbows and gumdrops for the wing as he matched up against All-Star Paul George.
Gay would finish with 9-for-25 shooting, but not before helping complete a late comeback when the Raptors seemed doomed. With time running down in regulation, Amir Johnson hit a shot and Gay stole a David West pass with only seconds remaining. Johnson would then hit the shot to tie things up and send Toronto and Indiana into overtime.
As overtime wound down, the two teams entangled, Rudy Gay received his chance to win it for Toronto. Isolated on George, Gay took him on the right wing and pulled up for the last-second jumper.
Hopefully, this now evens things out for that fan who once bemoaned Rudy Gay's late-game talents.

In response to Ice-Cream's comment:
Dear Kids,
If you cheat in school, you get expelled.
But if you cheat in professional sports, you just get a suspension and you can still sign a multi-million dollar deal such as Melky did with Toronto.
Be interesting to find out if Melky used the stuff after his ban.
If Melky used the stuff after his ban then it will be Toronto's problem. :)
More importantly, it will show that Melky did not learn his lesson.
If Melky is caught could be at least a season ban.

NORTHFIELD, Vt. — Opportunities for offense were plentiful to say the least for the Plattsburgh State women's soccer team, which received a six-point afternoon from junior Charisse Abellard during an 11-0 romp over Norwich in the final game of the season for both squads on Tuesday afternoon.
The Cardinals (5-11-2) pushed their single-game goal total to double digits for the first time since September 20, 2008, when the squad earned a 15-0 triumph at then-SUNYAC foe Morrisville State. During Tuesday's one-sided match, Plattsburgh State outshot the Cadets (1-16) 40-3 and outpaced the home team in corner kicks 8-1.
It took just 36 seconds for Plattsburgh State to tally what would hold up to be the game winner. Freshman forward Diana DiCocco notched her fifth goal of the season by racing past the entire Norwich back line before blasting her shot attempt past Cadets' keeper Holly Lutz and into the left corner of the net.
The Cardinals experienced their longest scoring drought of the game – almost 36 minutes – before Christen Averill added one of Plattsburgh State's numerous insurance goals. The sophomore out of Saugerties, N.Y., netted the first goal of her collegiate career, heading a corner kick by Abellard past Lutz at 36:04.
Shortly thereafter, Abellard added her first goal of the match. The Plattsburgh product rifled her free kick at 39:17 over the head of Lutz to up the Cardinals' lead to 3-0.
In the early stages of the second half, sophomore Cassidy Clavet really opened the floodgates for the visitors with two of the next three goals for the Cardinals. Freshman Maddy Trombley chipped in her first collegiate goal to at 56:30 to account for the third Plattsburgh State score in the first 13:17 of the deciding frame.
Through the course of the final 27:04, the Cardinals pumped in five more goals – including one more by Abellard to make matters 10-0. The junior's second goal of the season came after she had collected her second assist of the match on the first goal of the season by Ashlie Guinness which made it a 9-0 game.

Here are the Patriots' players of the week on offense, defense and special teams in their 35-21 Week Two win over the Chargers.
Offense: QB Tom Brady
Something tells me we have a recurring theme. The reigning MVP clearly has not lost a step, following up a record-setting season opener by completing 31-of-40 passes for 423 yards and three touchdowns. On the Patriots' 99-yard drive in the second quarter, Brady completed all six pass attempts for 93 yards and a score. What also made this performance impressive was that the Chargers held Brady to 159 passing yards last season.
Defense: ILB Jerod Mayo
The Patriots pulled off some big plays on defense, taking advantage of a turnover-prone Chargers team. Vince Wilfork and Sergio Brown had interceptions, but Mayo gets the nod here. He led the team with 11 tackles, forced a fumble in the fourth quarter when the Chargers were driving and trailing by just six and made a huge stop in the second quarter, tackling RB Mike Tolbert short of the goal line on 4th-and-1. That play preceded the 99-yard TD drive Brady engineered.
Special teams: PK Stephen Gostkowski
After missing a field-goal attempt in the season opener, Gostkowski converted both FG opportunities on Sunday, a 22-yard field goal and a 47-yarder at the end of the first half. He also had three touchbacks on kickoffs and the Chargers' average starting position was the 23-yard line. LB Tracy White should get a mention for his two special-teams tackles, including stuffing Richard Goddman at the 13-yard line in the fourth quarter.

The Westford Cultural Council's mission is to enhance the quality of life in our community by supporting the arts, humanities, and sciences. This goal is pursued through an annual granting process that begins in October. Each year, the WCC receives funds from the state to be allocated to grant applicants. Organizations or individual artists may submit grant applications for programs benefitting the Westford community.
Over the past 5 years, we have funded everything from science education in the elementary schools through the Living Lab, to Swing Dancing for senior citizens. The programs funded have taken place in the Westford schools, the J. V Fletcher Memorial Library, the Westford Museum, the PCA, the Roudenbush Community Center, and the Cameron senior center.
In addition to the funds for grants that we receive from the state, local cultural councils may also accept contributions to be used for sponsoring events such as the July 3, 2010 Summer Fun event described below.
A Grant Applicant Presentation meeting is scheduled for
Thurs, Nov 14th, 7-9pm
2nd floor, Cameron Senior Center,
20 Pleasant St, Westford, MA
Grant applicants will have about 10 minutes to make a brief presentation to elaborate on their application. Applicants should expect questions from the Westford Cultural Council members.
Grant applicants are not required to attend the meeting.

Summer Fun on the Common
Fantastically shaped bubbles floated through the air. Fire engine red Frisbees flew across the common. Delighted children, their cheeks and arms adorned with whimsical face-painting designs, played games, engaged in crafts, and otherwise frolicked on the Westford Common at the free Family Fun event sponsored by the Westford Cultural Council (WCC) on Saturday, July 3rd. Face painting and games were provided by Cultural Council members, assisted by enthusiastic volunteers from Westford Academy. The enchanting Mrs. Junkbox (aka, Emily Piper of Rumphius Creativity Unhinged) arrived like Mary Poppins to enthrall youngsters and their parents as she guided them in magically transforming old newspapers and other recycled materials into lovely sunbonnets, perfect for the day.
The Westford Fire Dept. opened the firehouse for children of all ages to explore. Families left the firehouse with a renewed appreciation for the important work done by Westford's firefighters – and red Frisbees to boot! Boy Scout Troop 159 supplied drinks. Even Mother Nature contributed by providing a perfect summer day!
But the main event that approximately 90 residents came to see and hear was the musical performance of the bluegrass band Boston Road. Comprised mostly of Westford residents, the band performed original compositions, state-themed songs, and covers of bluegrass classics. The exquisite vocal styling of Kristen Vegeto was ably backed by Matt Valencius on banjo, Claude Galinsky on mandolin, Pete Vegeto on guitar, and Rick Posch on bass. During the break, Mike Vegeto entertained the audience with acoustic guitar.
A great time was had by all!

Teach Your Employees Technology Security
All your employees who use a PC, laptop and mobile devices are vulnerable to technology security attacks but they can also help you safeguard your company's data integrity. You may have all the latest security programs, firewalls, antivirus, etc. but if your employees don't know how to use them properly, they are useless. Small businesses usually cannot afford a permanent IT team so it is best that your employees are trained to maintain data security. Here are ways to teach your employee about technology security.
Emails are common targets of hackers and scammers. They have evolved through the years and have come up with targeted attacks. They can persuade your employees to take actions or expose data regarding the company and their personal lives without them knowing that they have been tricked.
Tell your employees not to open suspicious emails and attachments. If they don't know who the email is from, they should just delete it. Attachments that have a ".exe" extension are especially dangerous as these are executable programs that may contain malware. All attachments should be scanned with antivirus software prior to opening. Disable the "automatic download attachments" feature in your emails. Finally, passwords should be strong, at least 8 characters long and with a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols.
You may probably have teleworkers or employees that work from home or anywhere they choose to. These employees are vulnerable to cyber criminals if they use Wi-Fi from public places such as coffee shops, restaurants and the mall. These are notorious access points for cyber criminals as they are open networks meaning they do not have data encryption. Emails, passwords and other personal confidential information can be transmitted across these networks. Tell your employees to choose a password protected wireless connection and do not open sensitive company data while using this connection.
They should also know how to turn on their firewalls and how to disable file sharing. All their folders should be private. If you have teleworkers, it is best to consider securing your data by using cloud computing. You can store your files in the cloud, manage and share them with everyone on your team. There are various cloud packages to choose from and you can surely find one that fits your budget.
Smartphones and tablets
The development of smartphones and tablets has made our lives easier. We can access work through these devices wherever we are as long as we have an Internet connection but the problem also lies there. These mobile devices are now also prime targets for attacks. It is better if you provide your employees with a company approved device that has all the security measures installed in it. If you have a "bring your own device" policy, make sure that all gadgets are very well protected and set guidelines on where, when and how to access company information.
You should also install tracking software in all your devices. If your device gets stolen, you can track it using GPS. You should also be able to wipe your gadgets clean should any theft occur to protect valuable company information.
Everyone in the company must be involved in safeguarding the company's intellectual and physical properties. Your employees should report attacks and suspicious Internet activity as soon as they happen.
Hi, my name is Ian G. I'm a tech blogger and a programmer. I also have a website that gives more info about company security.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Two members of the Bomb Squad street gang have been charged with murder in connection with Peoria's latest homicide.
Mytrez Flora, 19, and Lloyd Dotson, 22, were charged Tuesday in the death of Tyrann M. Chester, 24, of Chicago.
Peoria County deputies arrested the two men and Eugene Heywood, 19, in the 2500 block of West Humboldt around the same time Chester was found shot to death nearby.
Officers found him in the backseat of a rented, silver SUV parked in an alley in the 3000 block of West Seibold. He had been shot in the head. Police believe Chester was shot at a nearby location and his body was driven to the alley before the vehicle was abandoned.
Officers recovered two guns and Flora had a .22 caliber pistol in his waistband when he was arrested.
He was previously arrested in 2011 for a shooting that occurred near city hall. He was paroled in May of this year.
"Part of 'Don't Shoot' is the philosophy that our goal isn't about locking people up forever. It's getting them to put the guns down, and the fact that he's out, the fact that he would choose to pick up a gun again means that we will hold him accountable," said Peoria Police Chief Steve Settingsgaard.
The homicide of Tyrann M. Chester is under investigation.
Flora and Dotson remain in the Peoria County Jail on $2 million bond.

This is in response to the whole Should Nick Swisher have been laughing stuff that still seems to be floating around here, and elsewhere.
I take issue with people- fans, really- saying how players should be acting during a blow-out, or after a tough loss. In addition to this crap with Swisher, I remember a couple of years back, hearing people on talk radio giving Robby Cano grief when he was spotted out at a bar having fun after the Yanks got bumped from the playoffs.
This is their job, people.
What do you do when you have a crappy day at the office?? I myself try and laugh it off. Maybe go out from some drinks afterward, you know, try not to let ruin my whole life. I don't sulk around to make sure that everyone who may see me knows I am having a bad day.
Being a fan is an emotional thing- that's all we have as fans, an emotional connection to the team we love. And while sure the players want to win every game, there is an understanding that they won't- just like I know everyday at work won't be the peachiest as I would hope- and I for one would rather see guys lose and still enjoying playing the game, rather than a bunch of long faces hoping they don't lose again tomorrow.

Spring & Fall programs - Village
An innovative program that encourages students to work together and, as a community, create a miniature village in the forest.
Intertwining hands-on learning and their imaginations, students follow the story of the Peeps: miniature people who are trying to survive through the harsh winter months. Students take on the role of the "middle-people" who help the Peeps by discovering ways to adapt for the changing seasons. Study groups become clans within the community, each specializing on a topic and then sharing what they have learned
"Amazing patience and wonderful explanations – very age appropriate"
—parent chaperone
The animal trackers clan investigate animal habitats; the food gatherers plants; the water bearers the water cycle; the storytellers stories & songs; the artists art and the shelter builders traditional skills. The number of clans depends on class size.
Village is a four-part program, with two visits in the fall, one in the winter and culminates with a final closing ceremony in the spring.

In his first public comments in Cincinnati
since joining the Bengals, James Harrison admitted he will play with extra
motivation to beat his former team.
But, it's his claim that he spends $400,000
to $600,000 a year to make sure his body is NFL ready that made national
headlines. Harrison said he spends the money on supplements, training and
a live in personal health team of massage therapists, acupuncturists and other
health specialists.
Harrison, who missed a total of 8 games the
past two seasons because of lingering knee problems, says he feels, physically,
the best he's felt since his NFL Defensive Player of the Year season in 2008.
Harrison signed a two-year contract with the
Bengals last month, but was hesitant to admit any extra motivation to beat the
Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers, the only team Harrison has played for,
asked the 5-time Pro Bowl linebacker to take a pay cut, but he refused.
"I understand it's a business, so it's not
like I can really take it personal," said Harrison at Paul Brown Stadium.
"But, to say that it doesn't motivate me in some sense would be a lie."
Harrison is expected to start at linebacker this coming season.
At 35-years-old, he is the oldest Bengal on the roster.

Welcome to Friday!
The main upper level feature of interest continues to be a low pressure area located northeast of the state. This low is slowly moving northeast away from the southern plains but will be able to produce a few more scattered showers or storms today before the chance dwindles this weekend. This feature did produce a few widely scattered thunderstorms yesterday across eastern OK including one in the Tulsa metro. This morning the radar indicates a number of scattered showers and thunderstorms across northern and central OK mainly located near the I-35 area slowly drifting southeast. I did think a few of these may drift into our immediate area of concern through the morning hours before dissipating by midday. A couple of additional showers or thunderstorms may develop later this afternoon across eastern OK or western Arkansas and I'll continue to keep a slight mention of activity in the forecast for the day. Afternoon highs are still expected to reach the 89 to 92 degree range across most of the area with a sun-cloud mix.
The weekend will be dominated by the exiting trough and the expanding ridge located to our west. The center of the western U.S. ridge will remain well west of the region but the eastern portion will be expanding its influence across part of the state and southern plains through the weekend. The result will be an increase in both morning lows and daytime highs by a few degrees with a slow increase in low level moisture values. The temperature heat index values will also slowly climb over the next few days. Bottom line: A return to the real July is underway!
Next week we anticipate morning lows in the 70s with afternoon highs in the mid-90s along with south winds around 10 to 20 mph. Both the GFS and EURO data suggest a chance for some thunderstorms Wednesday or Thursday but the chance will remain on the low side. Previous runs of these data suggested a weak boundary would move across the northern OK state line by Thursday, but this seems very unlikely at this point. Our current forecast has a 30% chance for showers or storms both Wednesday and Thursday but I may lower the Thursday time period to a 20 pop.
The longer range portion of the GFS data interestingly enough develops another extreme western ridge-eastern trough pattern by 20th of July or so.
Yesterday the official high in Tulsa was 91 recorded at 2:22pm. The normal daily average high is 92 and the low is 72. Our daily record high is 108 recorded on this date in 1911 and the record low is 53 recorded in 1915.

Save the Jersey City Food Trucks
Food trucks serve the greater Jersey City community. They add another option to the ordinary mundane food selection, oftentimes a healthier diet and culture. Currently, food trucks are forced to park in restricted zones in order to provide convenient service to our customers. We see no reason why the food trucks should not be allowed to service the residents and workers that want to eat our food each day -- we want to create food vending zones where we are allowed to park without getting forcded out in the middle of service.
Thanks for your support.

FRANK MULHOLLAND - Daily Union Reporter
Once in a while a project will come along that all parties involved call a win/win project. The Shelbyville Festival of Lights and Shelbyville High School (SHS) students and instructors have partnered to create Christmas yard decorations and this program could be called a win/win/win project. The students working on this project, the school district and the folks who have purchased these decorations are all winners. The Festival of Lights could even be called the fourth winner because they are receiving help from the students.
This project actually started last year when the students decided to give some volunteer hours to the Light Festival. Tad Mayhall is chairman of the Shelbyville Lights Festival and he said this project came out of the volunteerism of the students when they created the big candy canes for the festival last year.
Mayhall said full-time volunteer and dedicated Festival of Lights foreman Bill Bly originally built the first Christmas Tree decoration.
"He came by the office with the first Christmas Tree and we decided they would make good filler for the Festival," said Mayhall.
The trees stand about 4 foot tall and are about three foot wide. They are then painted and wired with lights. These outside decorations are made with prongs so they may be stuck in the ground. They are selling for $35.
Mayhall who had worked with SHS instructor Greg Reynolds, welding instructor, pitched the idea of the welding class making these decorations. Mayhall and Reynolds agreed this project would give the SHS Welding class practical experience. That idea expanded as a way to give the students welding experience and possibly by getting orders from the public and selling the decorations could raise funds for much needed new welding equipment.
Reynolds said last year the Welding class had to get organized and set up production lines and was still able to produce and sell about 50 trees. This year with the production more streamlined Reynolds feels the students can produce a lot more trees.
The project has grown this year to include the classes of Accounting and Introduction into Business taught by John Tynan as well as the Welding class. The Welding class handles the production, the Accounting class keeps the books and the Into to Business has built a business model and marketing plans. Together the students are working to turn this project into a profitable business. The profits from the project will still be used to upgrade the welding equipment and supplies needed to build the decorations.
"There are still some more modern equipment we would like to get, and some of our equipment needs repairs," said Reynolds. "This project takes a little of the financial burden off the school district."
He said in the past such luxuries as welding helmets that are auto-darkening are now a reality.
"These funds allow us to purchase more modern equipment that you would find in the industry," Reynolds said.
The project has grown and the orders from businesses and individuals are coming into the school on a daily basis. Reynolds said one of the Christmas trees is on display at Monical's Pizza.
"We also have quite a few more students involved this year which means more kids out selling trees," said Tynan.
Reynolds said the program is working out much better this year with the other classes involved.
"It has really worked out well because our welding students can focus on production and we can turn all the financing and marketing over to Mr. Tynan's classes," Reynolds said.
Tynan said he sees the great value of the "hands on approach" of all the students involved.
He said this project will now lead to a new entrepreneurship class.
"That class will pick up where the Intro to Business class left off and the idea is next year that will become a year long class," said Tynan.
Both instructors say the hands-on approach has encouraged students to sign up for the classes that are involved in this project.
"Another neat thing about this project is last year I saw maybe 20-25 welding students for the whole year. But, since we have started doing this I could see 45-60 students enrolled in welding," Reynolds said.
Reynolds said another important lesson for the students is the communications needed for this project. They need to communicate with each other and also with the other classes.
"We are bringing in all of those soft skills into this picture as well, communication, cooperation, organization, productivity, all of those things have to be manage to get to that common goal."
Both instructors wanted to thank Mayhall and Bly of the Festival for their advice and cooperation.
"They have put a lot into this program and we wouldn't be where we are without them."
The students are also very enthusiastic about the project.
Senior Brandon Cloe who is in both the Accounting class and the Welding class certainly sees the value of this endeavor.
"This project has worked out great." said Cloe. "You have both sides of the project, the money side and the production side."
Reed Best is also a senior and he feels the project is awesome.
"We started out being able to do one tree a day and now we have it (production) down to a science," said Best. "Also this is a class you get something out of and it is helping the school."
SHS Principal and Co-Superintendent Kevin Ross appreciates the value of this program. He feels the project is great for the students and the school, but also sees the community service aspect of the program.
"This program is making our kids aware of what is going on at the park," Ross said. " We have had kids not only helping create some of the displays and getting involved with the set-up and community work. There is a lot of great community involvement with this project. I am just real pleased with the way it is going."

Campus Housing:
I lived in a quad my freshman year of college and hated it. Too noisy, no privacy and my roommate was unclean.
Campus Housing:
Campus Housing:
Smith is the all freshman dorm where every room is a quad, and is not very spacious. Parker is for all class years and there are a mix of mostly doubles, some singles. Page is also all class years but is primarily freshman and sophomores and is mostly doubles. Adams is a "quiet" dorm with primarily doubles, where most sophomores and some juniors live. The Village is on-campus, where most upperclassmen (more seniors than juniors) live in suites (one bedroom for each of the three/four students and a common room). John Bertram Hall or JB, is where mostly juniors reside. These, like the village, are suites, however most rooms include two bedrooms for four students and a common room. Frye Street consists of houses where sophomores, juniors, and occasional seniors live. Most frye houses typically house around 20 students and there are a mix of doubles and singles.
Campus Housing:
Housing's pretty good. They know who to pair you with based on your preferences.
Campus Housing:
Even the worst of housing at Bates is pretty good! Some of the dorms are gorgeous and others are more run down, but all rooms are pretty big and it's really easy to avoid dorms you don't want.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Jessie Sawyer
Dorms range from the spectacular to the squalid, and obviously, the higher your housing lottery number is, the better your dorm will be. The newest accommodation is 280 College Street, which is equipped with singles and doubles, a kitchen with an oven and stove, as well as a fireplace lounge for concerts or studying. Mostly first years live here, but there are also sophomores, juniors, and seniors, as well. The Village is a popular cluster of suites, which house mostly juniors and seniors, and some sophomores—if you're lucky. John Bertram Hall has big singles and doubles in the basement, although it makes for an awkward dynamic because most of the rooms are four-person suites, so it can be hard to mingle. The kitchen has an oven, and you can often smell chocolate chip cookies wafting through the air on weekends. JB has the reputation of being a party dorm and the "jock" dorm, so it's noisier and dirtier than designated quiet dorms, such as Adams. However, Adams is usually filled with people who got bad lottery numbers, so it's not uncommon to see parties there and music blasting out the windows upon occasion. First-year students should avoid Page and aim for Parker, though both are good places to make long-lasting friendships. Other students choose to live in houses on Frye Street, which are charming, but small and out-of-date. Houses are available to upperclassmen as well, and these range from the beautiful Moulton House and well-equipped Frye Street Union to the small and cramped Frye House, Davis House, and Leadbetter House. The rooms in Leadbetter are large, though, since only five people live there. Since the house doesn't have a television or laundry machines, residents get unlimited keycard access to Davis house, next door, which allows them to branch out.
The best part about housing at Bates is the wide variety of options available to students—or at least to students with good housing lottery numbers. There are suites, quads, doubles, and singles in both dorms and houses. Themed houses, such as the Russian House or the Fine Arts House, allow students with similar interests to live together. Since these theme designations change every year, students have a greater chance of living in a themed house that really interests them. There are all-female and all-male houses, chem-free and quiet dorms, and big party dorms, like Rand and Page. It can be difficult to get a single if you have a poor lottery number, and students are sometimes put on summer placement, but everyone who wants a room at Bates will have one, even if it's a forced triple in Page Hall.
