- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014We introduced friends to Lumiere who have very discriminating taster. The steak for 2 was wonderful. Cooked perfectly. Scallops were slightly undercooked. Overall, a 1st rate dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chef Michael Leviton is a treasureOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/29/2014Chef Michael Leviton is a Boston treasure. He stopped by our table to make sure everything was perfect, and it was.Special Features:
- Great dining experienceMarekPDined on 8/28/2014Visiting my son at BC - wanted to find a nice place to have family dinner before school starts. Excellent dining experience, good wine, nice atmosphere. Not cheep but enjoyed every minute. Great, personal service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Oasis of excellenceVerdedinerDined on 8/26/2014By far, the best restaurant in the area. Seasonal ingredients wonderfully prepared. I had two appetizers -- which satisfied me completely. I'll return to Lumiere very soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Atmosphere, food, winenannarellaDined on 8/25/2014We had a great dinner experience at Lumiere. The waitstaff is solicitous without being stuffy, and the room is elegant and calm. And the food! We had the prix-fixe menu choices with wine pairings, and we ate and drank very well. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/25/2014Lumiere is in its own class. The food creations are amazing and always are unique and ever changing. You will never have a bad meal at Lumiere; in fact, you will only have fantastic meals that leave you wanting to come back again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent: a must tryDragonfly60VIPDined on 8/24/2014This is a sweet spot and neighborhood gem that serves outstanding food, wine parings, excellent service and ambience. Every dish was fresh and bursting with flavor. Try fixed price menu too. Beautiful food presented and incredible parings of wine that make indulging so easy. If you haven't been here, add it to your list of "musts".Special Features:
- A Classy Eatery938raceVIPDined on 8/24/2014Food is fresh, prepared with creativity and panache. Menu somewhat limited. I would not have paired the striped bass with a beet puree, a bit too bold for me I'm afraid. Service is friendly and relaxed.Special Features:
- Another Successful Lumiere DinnerKlinkDined on 8/23/2014All of our platters were delicious (great chicken!) and beautifully presented. The chocolate dessert with peanut butter mousse was sensational! The lamb option on the menu was not for us, so our choices were a bit limited.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Way overpriced for the experiencePAS2539VIPDined on 8/23/2014We haven't been to Lumiere in over a year. Now I know why! The quality of the food is good but not overwhelmingly so. The quantity in minimal. Scallop appetizer consisted of 2 scallops for $18. Lamp ($35) consisted of 4 slices of meat and a couple of lamb sausages. Sides are an additional $8. My husband's bavette steak was equally small and costly ($29). I'm sorry, but I can't recommend this restaurant, and I certainly won't return anytime soon.
- Great FoodDonGoyo13Dined on 8/22/2014Had dinner with my wife and the food was great. It is expensive but worth the trip for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Consistently best Boston restaurantPsdlnVIPDined on 8/21/2014My personal favorite in the Boston area. Not flashy, but delicious, wonderful food in a pleasant setting. Great service. After many visits I have never been disappointed. A gem and worth a trip. Free parking.Special Features:
- aug 2014 dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/20/2014never not had a great meal there for many years.. tasting menu is always a no-brainer choiceSpecial Features:
- Lives up to reputationTrauteDined on 8/16/2014Very good food, unobtrusive but alert service. Interesting cocktails.Special Features:
- SNOOKIEVIPDined on 8/16/2014The food is consistently good. Yogurt dessert was fabulous. The chairs are hard wood and uncomfortable. The service was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- luminousOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/16/2014This remains a classic, brilliant food prepared with amazing attention to every detail accompanied by friendly but polished and professional service. The wine list is fairly short but very eclectic and well chosen.Special Features:
- Best I Could FindZQueDined on 8/12/2014I work in the area and my mom was coming into town. I was recommended the restaurant by a coworker as a nice to place to go, but really I couldn't find any other places in the area close to Lumiere. It was great food with a small menu; what you would expect really from a higher-class restaurant. However, I would describe the restaurant more as Upper-middle class (not that this is bad, but it wasn't overly luxurious). The waitstaff wore jeans at least 30% of the time and the feel was very laid back for service. I wasn't particularly impressed by the bar or the bartender. It is a small bar, but the bartender seemed to be focused on assisting the waitstaff, not his guests. In fact a dirty tray was place in front of me as I waited.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a GemLuvBostonDined on 8/11/2014We have been enjoying this restaurant for a couple years and the food and service is always great. It's so nice to see a restaurant maintain same great quality over time which is not always the case. Kudos to Lumiere!!Special Features:
- EdOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/9/2014Outstanding as usual. The steak is to die for. Comes from an organic farm in western Mass.Special Features:
- Our experience at LumiereNotAFoodSnobDined on 8/8/2014I took my husband here for his 30th birthday since we don't dine at expensive restaurants much. We're not foodies - so I'm sure a food snob would review differently than me, but basically, I thought the food was overpriced for what it was. I got the chicken, he got the blue fish - the portions were small and flavor was good but certainly not worth the money we spent on it. The host and waiter were very friendly and considerate. However, we will not be dining here again.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014A really nice experience. It was a $200 evening, so not inexpensive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GreatihartDined on 8/7/2014Lumiere is our go to restaurant for a nice dinner out. The food is always excellent and creative for much better prices than in Boston. Service is kind, upbeat and knowledgeable.Special Features:
- LovelyNSBostonVIPDined on 8/5/2014Fantastic food, great service, very attentive, very knowledgeable. My children and my wife have food allergies and they took care of us splendidly. on street parking was a challenge. And our table was between the service station and the bathrooms so not a great situation. Even then a really wonderful night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DonTDined on 8/5/2014The selections on the chef's tasting menu didn't come up to the usually excellent level. The a la carte was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but teeny tiny portionsOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/3/2014All the food was excellent, but the sizes were pitiful. One scallop $18, 3 bite size pieces of lamb $35. Kinda ridiculous.Special Features:
- A special mealRichDined on 8/2/2014This was a special meal for us and we weren't disappointed. Although the menu isn't large, there was enough variety to satisfy many tastes. Moreover, there was a lot of flexibility, e.g. preparing appetizers as main courses. The service was attentive without being overbearing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome!berhaneDined on 7/27/2014Great service, great food made with great ingredients. The staff are professional and nice and friendly, and not over the top, and the food is tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and ambience!LindaDined on 7/25/2014My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and the food and ambience is great! Service was pretty good overall. I left a special request for a booth since it was our anniversary and they remembered so that was nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Live2EatVIPDined on 7/24/2014A wonderful special occasion place. Atmosphere is elegant and comfortable. Just fine to be dressed up or casually dressed. So nice to have white tablecloths that aren't covered with butcher paper! We had a bavette steak and the duck breast, both cooked perfectly - tender, juicy, flavorful. Scallops and pork terrine were both excellent too. Big and little bursts of flavor throughout, the accoutrements for each dish kept our palates happily intrigued and entertained.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LumieregoodeatsDined on 7/23/2014We have wanted to go to Lumiere for a long time. We had sampled some items at the Boston Wine Expo in February and loved what we had.

- Newton gemDinnerDined on 7/12/2014A real restaurant in Newton w/good food, wine & service. The fish dishes were excellent. Worth a visit or two. Do not bel. the newer places in Newton can really compare to Lumiere.
- Nice server, food mehNightOutDined on 7/11/2014Expected more from this place. Visited after movie at W. Newton theater and ordered the striped bass. Portion was quite small and the top was so chared that I had to cut it with my knife -- yet it wasn't that hot. Seemed like it had been left under a heat lamp too long. It was served on combo of two sauces -- one a think creamy sauce and the other a strong tomato-based sauce -- which did not complement each other let alone the fish. I won't belabor this -- place just wasn't that good. If you're seeing a movie at W Newton, you may want to try one of the other restaurants in the area.
- Happy Anniversary!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/11/2014My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and we're looking for a place that had great food and ambiance. Lumiere exceeded expectations! Our server Luke was excellent, food was fantastic, wine pairings wonderful! I would definitely go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/9/2014We recently had a delicious dinner at Lumiere. We had not been there in years and decided to try it again. Our party of 4 all had a delicious meal. We especially loved the house salad with a wonderful orange vinagerette dressing. The dressing was so good we asked our waiter for the recipe and by the end of the meal we had it. Two of us had the chicken dish that was so flavorful, another had the striped bass and another the scallops, all raved about their meals. We finished it off with a refreshing watermelon sorbet. So glad we rediscovered Lumiere, we will definitley go back again.Special Features:
- Big city dining in the suburbsWriteonVIPDined on 7/8/2014We celebrated a big anniversary at Lumiere. Everyone was most attentive and made us feel very special. The dishes were creative and delicious. Highly recommend.Special Features:

After the Crowds Leave: Finding the Post-Kickstarter Ecosystem
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After launching its Kickstarter project, LIFX Labs got a "tidal wave" of queries from venture capitalists, manufacturers and distributors. Two days later, the team stopped taking money, having reached $1.3 million, which was well above their initial $100,000 request. There is still 26 days to go.
"Some of the biggest tech companies in the world have reached out to us via Kickstarter, and this has given us many more options than we anticipated," said Andrew Birt, cofounder for the smartphone app-controlled LED light bulb. "We didn't expect interest from manufacturers and retailers of the size we're talking to this early, it's a real privilege."
Now the hard part: Delivering product and turning it into a business.
Crowdfunding, most notably using Kickstarter.com, is disrupting the film, videogame, tech gadgets, toys and a slew of other product industries. The funding fever is phenomenal with projects like a modern-day watch attracting $10.3 million!But this alternative route to investors -- who don't get equity, but rather some sort of reward -- relies heavily on the project creators, who dream up the idea, build the campaign and then social network their souls out. Kickstarter, Indiegogo and others provide the platform, but once it's over it's up to the creator to make sure the products get made and incentives are delivered. With very little help. Misguided budgets, undelivered product and other tragic tales are becoming common, causing Kickstarter to recently adjust terms to make sure creators deliver on promises. But Kickstarter's minimal FAQ page plus some tips don't go as far as to advise how to get stuff made, how to deliver or where to sell. As Kickstarter noted last month, Kickstarter is not a store. >>Also see: 10 Niche Crowdfunding Sites: Which One Fits You? and Crowdfunding Fills Gap for Investors and Companies Other businesses are happily stepping up. From patent agents and public-relations firms to shippers and tax accountants, companies are adding crowdfunding keywords to their sites and proactively pursuing successful projects. Shipping and logistics company Shipwire uses past Kickstarter clients, like the Glif, to approach new ones. DailyCrowdsource.com cornered the news angle and is working on another Crowdopolis conference. Outgrow.me, Kickfollower.com and TinyLightbulbs.com created online markets that showcase and sometimes sell successful crowdfunded projects.

ok, at the risk of kicking an hornets nest...
So, looking at the fields for the Grand Prix, something seems weird. Perhaps the race promoters are recession proof or something....because the formula seems to be one to explicitly AVOID making money!
I mean....E3 fields usually fill up in local races, as do E P/1/2 fields....that's 200 * $35...and they've volunteered to limit the revenue to 100 * $35 for a local race?!
The M35+ 3/4 will fill up fast, and there isn't a M4/5 field, which always fills up too....
I'm all in support of womens cycling, and I really hope we all find ways to bring more ladies into the sport...but must we do it AND lose money in the process?!?!?! I saw the post saying they are no longer in conflict with an NRC race. I hope those extra women's fields fill up with that conflict gone.
Will that W3 field REALLY HAVE 100 racers pull up to the line? If it does that will be quite a site to see, and I happily will eat humble pie about womens' fields not filling up.
Here's a suggestion promoters, not just for this race either. Structure the fields so most people have at least 2 opportunities to race. There are a LOT of people older than 18 and younger than 35 that would happily add $8 to do another race for the day if you did (myself included). Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
35+ 4/5
35+ 1/2/3
Juniors All, spread over a 50minutes, something like cherry pie
That's 10 races and most likely a sure money maker as almost everyone has 2 opportunities to race. Perhaps there's a USAC reason this isn't possible I dunno, but if/when I put on a race that's what I try to do.

Reinstate Ross! Reinstate Ross!
More than l00 women supporters of suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi gathered on the City Hall steps Sunday to stand with Ross in a show of support and a photo shoot.
The women held signs reading "Stand with Eliana and Ross, Reinstate our Sheriff" and "I believe Eliana" in English and Spanish.
Ross told the women that Mayor Ed Lee was seeking his ouster as sheriff as a way to knock out the top elected progressives in the city and to consolidate power against the progressive community.
But, he said, "as a community we stand our ground and we maintain the principles of what is just and fair."
He said that Lee was orchestrating the supervisorial vote on his ouster to come before the November election and thus put maximum pressure on the supervisors. He called on the community to fight back, contact the supervisors and the media and let them know that the public wants Ross to be reinstated as sheriff.
His outreach information, distributed at the event, stated: "Let the Board of Supervisors and media hear from you on behalf of Ross Mirkarimi. He is a good man who has dedicated himself for years to serve the citizens of San Francisco. Ironically, although his career is in Justice, he has experienced the lack of Justice at the hands of City Hall."
And: "We elected Ross and should be the only ones to determine who is our sheriff. Not the mayor, not the Ethics Commission, but the voters."
The statement noted that Ross got more votes in November than did Lee for mayor and that the voters have been disenfranchised by Lee. It also noted that "there is no precedent for suspending an official without pay. What a terrible, unjust thing to do to a man."
Re: "The statement noted that Ross got more votes in November than did Lee for mayor and that the voters have been disenfranchised by Lee."
Great. The Progressives push this idiotic system called "Rank Choice Voting" on the city and then try to use it's nonsensical output to point a false picture. The absurd RCV system had to 'exhaust' (a polite term for ignore) 28% of the ballots cast in the Mayor's race and only 11% in the Sheriff's race. So yeah, Mirkarimi wound up with a few thousand more votes. Meanwhile, he trounced a Progressive (Avalos) that Progressive leaders thought was stronger than Mirkarimi.
Just another example of how RCV blurs and confuses the line between our votes and the officials that they empower.
Flush it down the commode. We;re voters, not guinea pigs and RCV is a failed system.
Don't know who wrote this but it lays it all out pretty clearly:
San Francisco Ethics Commission
Official Misconduct Proceeding against Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi
Thoughts on Final Hearing – August 16, 2012
(September 9, 2012)
Law professors like to say it: "Hard cases make bad law." This is one. But hard cases are what law students typically read and discuss in class. Sometimes the discussions feature well-reasoned views, clearly presented. More often, they expose views that have not been well thought out and are presented even less clearly than they are understood. A little of both happened at the Ethics Commission's final hearing on August 16 – but mostly the latter. The brief afternoon deliberations resembled nothing so much as a rambling class discussion, and they succeeded about as well in resolving important legal questions. The reasons seem clear now.
The anti-Mirkarimi haters can only react with extreme cognitive derangement.
When the cannons roar, do you always charge right at them?
His MO is posting the same thing over and over and over and over and over - hundreds and thousands of times.
the typical troll MO
... and posting that which is diametrically *opposite* of the truth too!
It's what he says at the time. He sometimes retroactively denies what he said and accuses himself of being a liar. It's fascinating to watch.
... but it is a good opportunity to remind those reading this thread of the article that started it which marcos linked to:
Excellent read.
and pure cognitive dissonance. Next lillipublicans will be accusing himself of making it all up!
Amazing document written -- well worth reading and makes one wonder why the City has wasted all this time trying to get rid of an elected official when legally it is an act that is only given to the voters.
Who is this Mayor?
How's it hanging?
Lee is just a master manipulator! Think of all the detailed scheming and planning that must have gone into orchestrating this whole ordeal such that the BOS had to vote on this right before an election. I mean, he had to rig the entire criminal case, then he had to rig the Ethics Commission hearing, including creating delays to figure out the rules for the hearing, all in order to stretch it all out so that it could land in the BOS in a timely manner.
He is an Evil Genius! We should be happy to have such a Mastermind at the helm of our City!
I think RM is playing his supporters as suckers. From the time the shit hit the fan he was texting that their "play" was to paint this as a political witch-hunt, and people fell for it hook, line and sinker.
pathetic. can this just all end already, please?
Deeply pathetic.
Get real. Ethics was forced by the Mayor's office into skipping and jumping over heavily evidentiary ethics violations to move the Sheriff case into "next up." Following their case load in order would have landed the Sheriff's case post-election.
You don't think that this case is the most important one they have? Or should they have just shelved it to only right after the election?
Think Of The Entertainment Value!
by testifying in front of the Ethics folks, saying she represented a non-profit taking a political position on the fate of an elected official? Is she a bully? yes. Is she dim-witted as well? hello IRS
such tax exempt status precludes such lobbying and involvement in things political.
Sic the IRS on all the DV groups!
They need to learn that they will be crushed, if they don't toe the Progressive line!
only the ones who violated the terms of their tax exemption. Several anti-DV advocates were told to shut up by the likes of the bullies in question here.
Once Ross is reinstated we're going to "come to terms" with those, like Beverely "big butt" Upton and "Poison" Ivory Madison, who thought they could get away with destroying this perfect family. We'll have the power of the sheriff's office behind us plus the righteousness of our anger. People are going to pay.
Ross is a Powerful Man!
The fools in the DV groups are going to learn that!
You can't charge someone with DV without considering the Political Context first!
Ross will exact a terrible vengeance on those fat, ugly DV activists (let's face it - did you ever meet a cute DV activist?).
And on the black and asian mafia in SF who forced Ross to bruise his hispanic wife.
It's totally obvious that she is being imped.
It *is* telling that the cohort of anti-Mirkarimi haters so often has resorted to outright lies, ad hominem attacks, appeals to homophobic sentiment, etc, etc, in their vile attempts to sway public opinion in this matter.
"SFBG reserves the right to delete any comments that include hate speech, libel, plagiarism, threats, personal attacks or off-topic assertions, and inappropriate language in order to protect the integrity of the site and its users. We do not edit comments for content."
here are those which criticize Caitlin. Otherwise lilli and his fellow traveler ChrisCraft/JCCourt/Dootise etc... are given the run of the asylum on this board. They can threaten, insult, imp and libel as much as they want as long as they're doing it to those who oppose the SFBG's line on the Mirkarimi issue or any other.
I've long said the Guardian should use a comment system like Disqus to stop the imping. The main consequence of that would be a dramatic drop in the number of pro-Mirkarimi comments, because 99% of those are posted by just three commenters here: lillipublicans, JCCourt and her 13 aliases and Lisa Pelltier.
you complain of being "imp'ed" and of others posting under multiple identities.
Since the "Lucretia Secretia Snapples" commenter was insulting me.
You're not too quick on the uptake are you there lils?
Does Ross think this kind of shit is actually going to sway people's minds on this issue?
to keep his optimism in check; but I don't think he's the least bit afraid of your particular brand of half-witted shit.
The derangement level of his supporters would indicate you all believe he's sending you coded messages through the radio frequencies you receive in your teeth.
T II, how much do they pay you to write these juvenile posts? Honestly, it sounds like you never graduated from grade school.
Downtown's pockets have no bottom.
Firstly - to see the incredibly elegant and beautiful Eliana standing next to her tall, dark and handsome husband - so in love, so happy to be together on this beautiful late summer day was absolutely exquisite. The sun gleamed off Eliana's hair like spun brown sugar, Ross looked hearty and hale - we were all so happy to see them, to be in their presence again.
And then the amazing women at this rally - each standing in sisterhood demanding this awful miscarriage of justice be halted and many of us reading and willing to take direct action to ensure it does. I felt so proud to be amongst my sisters today - proud, strong women so unlike those awful DV women who have worked from the beginning to tear apart this beautiful family, women who have never known a moment of pure sexual bliss in their entire lives and who hate our progressive sheriff for his masculinity.
A tsunami of support for Ross is sweeping the city and I felt so honored to be part of it today.
I think we are looking at a future President and First Lady of the United States!
Go, Ross!
as she gazed adoringly at Ross's chiseled face, sculptured body and broodingly enigmatic mid-eastern looks that connote power and confer desire.
Did any couple ever strike such a transcendental pose? Those who were there were indeed lucky to be the presence of what can really only be described as royalty.
perhaps the one in Poison Ivory's literary,legal salon. Poison has the flaxen hair...Eliana is a stunningly beautiful brunette...look up "flaxen", before employing the word to attack a family.
It was truth - perhaps the writer made a mistake by the use of the word "flaxen" to describe the gorgeous, silken strands of Eliana's naturally brown hair but otherwise he/she described it correctly to a "t."
Ross and his female entourage. What red-blooded woman wouldn't want a piece of our very own raghead royalty?
It's Omar Sharif meets Jennifer Lopez, and all in our back yard. Are we lucky or what? Bruise, shmuise.
How racist can you be...and under the guise of anonymity to boot. Coward.
JC Court is being imped again...by the single troll writing all the hateful, faux "Mirkarimi supporter" posts, who goes by various names: Troll II/ Lucretia Snapples/ Guestier than Guest, etc. I think it's time to shut this troll down for good by banning her/him from this site for all time. All in favor, say Aye!
Ban JCCourt once and for all. And while we're at it ban "guest." Make people sign up and use one moniker - use Disqus for comments.
That will leave just Lilli and JCCourt/Coppermom/ChrisCraft/AnnG/Erik/Daniiele or whatever name she is using currently.
Omar Sharif was Egyptian while Ross is half Persian and half Jewish. Iranians also generally do not wear turbans.
"Omar Sharif was Egyptian"
And played a Saudi, a Spaniard, a Mongol, a Russian, a German, an Austrian, a Turk, a Jew, and Che Guevara in various films. But no one could ever **possibly** imagine him as an Iranian.
And why didn't you complain about the Eliana/Jennifer Lopez comparison?
You think Venezuelans are the same as Puerto Ricans?
Everyone knows that. Everyone knows they respond well to occasional "curbing" by their spouse/partners - as has clearly been demonstrated in the case of one Eliana Lopez. 9 months ago she was sobbing and saying she was regularly beaten by Ross - today she's appearing in rallies proclaiming his eminent political resurrection! If that's not an example of the power of an occasional "bruise" then I don't know what is!
so she will play nice for now, hoping it will help him get his paycheck back.
Then, bingo, a divorce petition.
I'm giving Eliana a bruising so I can get hold of her husband's money. Downtown just isn't paying me enough.
Imping is so fun ;-)

Thank you for your inquiry to the Office of Mississippi Physician Workforce regarding development of a Family Medicine residency program as outlined in HB 317. Prior to a formal funding application to the advisory board, we recommend that you and your institutional leadership review the following guidelines from the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (GMEC) and the Residency Review Committee for Family Medicine (RC-FM).
This organization accredits all allopathic (MD) training programs in the United States, so these standards are universal to all programs. Institutions and programs must meet these requirements for accreditation, and therefore must have the resources needed to make application for funding support. The general website is www.acgme.org/acgmeweb/tabid/132/ProgramandInstitutionalGuidelines/MedicalAccreditation/FamilyMedicine.aspx.
HB 317 mandates that programs receiving funds through the Office of Mississippi Physician Workforce must be able to accept both MD and DO students. Because of this, all programs requesting funds must be able to obtain ACGME accreditation. Both MD (allopathic) and DO (osteopathic) medical students may be accepted into an ACGME-accredited program. Following successful completion of an ACGME residency, all MD and DO residents are eligible to take the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) certification exam.
Above is a screen shot of the ACGME-Family Medicine home page. Please review the "Program Requirements," "Institutional Requirements" and "Common Program Requirements" listed further down on the page. Please note that the "Program Requirements" are in the process of revision, with expected release by July 2013. These have a link entitled "Approved, But Not in Effect." Once released, they will replace the current ones. The Program Information Form (PIF) is the form required by the RC-FM as submission for accreditation, so, review of this may also be helpful.
We ask that you also review the "FAQ - New Programs Section" located on the right side of the website page. This section will address application, accreditation costs, timeline and more.
In order for osteopathic (DO) residents to be board certified with the American Board of Osteopathic Medicine, the residency program will need to be dually accredited by the AOA. Guidelines for this can be found at http://www.osteopathic.org/inside-aoa/Education/OGME-development-initiative/Pages/what-is-aoa-accreditation.aspx
After review of these documents and review of your institutional resources to support a program, we will be glad to work with you further regarding requests to the Office of Mississippi Physician Workforce advisory board.
If you have further questions at this stage, feel free to contact me. Diane K. Beebe, MD Interim Director, Office of Mississippi Physician Workforce

U.S. House Set to Make Significant Cuts in Science Funding for FY 2011
Shortly after the President rolled out the FY 2012 budget, the U.S. House began consideration of H.R. 1, a continuing resolution (CR) that would fund the federal government for the current fiscal year that began on October 1, 2010 and runs through September 30, 2011. According to House Appropriations Committee Chair Hal Rogers, the CR "represents the largest reduction in non-security discretionary spending in the history of the nation," cutting more than $100 billion from the President's FY 2011 budget request.
Last week, Appropriations subcommittees were asked to identify cuts in their respective areas. The Commerce, Justice, Science Subcommittee identified $827.5 million in potential cuts to NSF, including almost $551 million from the "Research and Related Activities" line. The Labor, HHS, Education Appropriations Subcommittee identified $1.6 billion in cuts for NIH, including a "general reduction to 2008 levels."
In a statement released on the day the CR was brought to the House floor, the Chairman said: "…this CR is only the first of many Appropriations bills this year that will significantly trim federal spending" and urged his colleagues to "move this CR, avoid a government shutdown, and get these spending cuts passed by the Congress and signed by the President."
As Congress debated H.R. 1, the President released a "Statement of Administration Policy" which stated that "the Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 1.…" The statement went on to say: "If the President is presented with a bill that undermines critical priorities or national security through funding levels or restrictions, contains earmarks, or curtails the drivers of long-term economic growth and job creation while continuing to burden future generations with deficits, the President will veto the bill."

Newburyport Daily News
---- — To the editor:
Well, I can't stand it any longer. I know, I know, give it a chance. Heck, it's not even finished yet. You know what I'm talking about ... the roundabout! Or is it a rotary? I suppose if you're my age you might even call it a traffic circle. Now don't tell me I'm the only one screaming about how crazy this obstacle course seems to be.
I started writing this letter a couple weeks ago, but every time I drive through this maze I want to add something else to this letter. I've got to stop adding and get to the point. I have spent a little time on the computer researching the actual difference of a "rotary" vs. a "roundabout." Even a piece in The Daily News referred to it six times as a rotary and six times as roundabout and even once a traffic circle, all in the same article.
Actually, it seems quite clear that a rotary is usually much larger (Portsmouth) in diameter than a roundabout. But here's what got my attention. All the info I read basically said, "Because of the difference of speed entering a roundabout the accidents are less severe than that when entering a rotary." Now that's comforting!
No pulling punches here: I think this "rotary-rounda-circle" is nuts. Who the heck designed this? Do they have a driver's license? Trucks with trailers, forget about it? Did they even think about snow plowing? (Just wait on that mess). So here's my words of wisdom. If you're thinking of getting into the business world, I suggest you open a tire shop that also does front-end alignments in Newburyport, Amesbury or Salisbury. You'll be busy.
There ... that's one more opinion off my chest.

Loire Valley, Poppies
It's rare to see such a field of blazing red poppies these days. They tend to occur in places where the ground had been disturbed, as they did in Flanders in the First World War. It is for this reason that the British Legion sells artificial poppies to beworn on Remembrance Day.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

We're big supporters of our sons' school, and I enjoy helping out and participating in most school events, probably more than my kids would actually like.
But there's one thing that has never been particularly appealing to me (and other parents, judging from the courtside conversations) and that's class fund-raisers in the form of products for sale.
Sure, some of them are fine and I do enjoy my Christmas wreath. But many of the other items seem cheaply made and sometimes totally useless. I've been known to skip the tchotchkes entirely and just send in money.
A couple of years ago, Champlain Valley Milling teamed up with a class at Westport Central School to offer locally milled grains as a fundraiser — now there was a product I could really use!
The students took orders for cornmeal, bread flour, rice mixes and more. I enthusiastically bought a case of the stuff. Not only was I supporting my son and his class, I was also supporting a local business.
Through my connections with Adirondack Harvest, I also knew that Sam Sherman, the owner of the mill, purchases as much locally grown organic grain as possible, so I felt that I was also supporting local farmers.
I had a suspicion that other places had probably already thought of this and a quick Internet search proved me right. Many parent-teacher organizations and schools have had very successful fundraisers using locally grown and/or made products. They had quotes such as, "We are all sick of selling and buying junk for a tiny financial gain!"
When the organizations entered into agreements with the local farmers and artisans they found they were able to keep a higher percentage of the overall profit; in at least one case 40 percent went to the school and 60 percent to the producers. Since many of these sales are taking place in the "off-season," the farmers may be willing to move product for a discount. One of the reasons I especially enjoy my Christmas wreath is that I know the product is locally grown and crafted right in Westport.

Athlete of the Week: Stuart Fogleman
Date: August 19, 2009
by: Jen Blanco | Associate Editor
The East County Observer and Bogey's Restaurant and Sports Pub have teamed up to showcase the East County's top athletes. Each recipient's article will be featured on the restaurant's wall.
Stuart Fogleman has played more than 9,000 rounds of golf.
The 85-year-old has played in 43 states and 27 countries, including Austria, Germany, Japan and Vietnam, where he played 54 holes of golf in a single afternoon.
He played in the Korea Open as an amateur and endured sweltering temperatures above 120 degrees in Saudi Arabia. He's recorded six aces, five double eagles and has an all-time best score of 69, which he shot while playing in Salzburg, Austria.
But none of those rounds has been more significant that the ones he's played right here in his own backyard — all 5,000 of them to be exact. On Aug. 14, the University Park Country Club resident played his 5,000 round of golf at the club — a feat that dates back to 1991 when he moved to the community with his wife, Gertrude.
Fogleman began playing golf when he was 12 years old after his then-girlfriend's older brother, who happened to be the golf champion of the city, taught him how to play. Fogleman began caddying for him, earning 25 cents for every 18 holes he worked and learning the game as he went along.
"I've played most sports in my life, but golf is the hardest to play because nobody gives you any help," Fogleman said. "Every time you hit the ball, it's in a different location. To me, it's the hardest sport in the world, but to me, it's also very satisfying."
Fogleman plays golf six days a week, with Sundays reserved as an off day. He plays in three different groups: a Monday and Friday group, a Tuesday and Thursday group and a Saturday group.
A worn, brown leather journal helps Fogleman keep track of every game he plays and his links mates. And Fogleman won't let any of his friends forget a round.
Fogleman's journal also houses a list of his top-20 favorite golf courses with Koganei Country Club in Tokyo, Japan, securing the top spot and University Park coming in at No. 4. He also keeps newspaper clippings and maps of different courses, among other items.
"I make all the schedules, and I make sure they abide by it," Fogleman said with a chuckle. "People are always telling my wife, 'You're the only widow I know with a living husband.'"

We will soon find out whether Maurice Jones-Drew is serious about getting a new contract from the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars mandatory minicamp starts on Tuesday and, as SB Nation's Big Cat Country points out, Jones-Drew can be fined heavily for missing mandatory minicamp.
Tuesday will tell us how serious Jones-Drew is about getting a new contract from the Jaguars considering he could be fined up to $60,000 for missing all three days. It's unclear at the moment whether Jones-Drew, who has two years remaining on his current contract, will show but what is clear is that the Jaguars have no plans to restructure his deal.
GM Gene Smith says to the Florida Times-Union:
"He has expressed that he would like to renegotiate and we have expressed, again, that we feel he has a contract with two years left and we expect him to fulfill those obligations," Smith said.
The only source of leverage for Jones-Drew would be to hold out and accept the fines but that may not work if Smith is sincere in his claims that they will not re-do his contract.

On 5 March 2009, the Chancellor authorised the MPC to use the APF for monetary policy purposes by financing asset purchases using central bank reserves. Therefore, in addition to setting Bank Rate each month, the MPC also sets a target for the level of assets to be financed by central bank reserves over a period of its choosing. In order to meet the MPC's objective for total asset purchases, the APF was authorised to purchase medium- and long-maturity conventional gilts in the secondary market.
The Bank's quantitative easing operations are set out in more detail in the Red Book:
Red Book - Chapter VIII - Quantitative Easing (125KB)October 2013
In line with the MPC's most recent decision in relation to the asset purchase programme, the APF has purchased £375 billion of assets by the creation of central bank reserves. The Bank and the Debt Management Office (DMO) have agreed that the Bank will make available to the DMO a significant amount of the gilts purchased via the Asset Purchase Facility (APF) for on-lending to the market through the DMO's normal repo market activity.

Two Johnston County sheriffs deputies arrived Friday afternoon at a house near Clayton to respond to a domestic violence call but found an elaborate drug-making setup, authorities say.
An array of methamphetamine equipment in the house caused the deputies to cautiously back out and call the narcotics specialist.
It was an elaborate setup, said Tammy Amaon, public information officer with the Johnston County Sheriffs Office. Just really, all the components to make meth, and they had it set up really well.
The officers got a search warrant, the narcotics officer called the SBIs cleanup unit, and they were at the house on the 100 block of Javelin Court until about 10 p.m. Friday cleaning up what they could.
Meth cant just be put in the trash. Theres all kinds of harsh chemicals when youre cooking meth. They have to suit up in all these suits and masks, Amaon said.
The deputies arrested the couple, Andrew and Ryanne Garnder, who are being held at the Johnston County jail on drug-related charges. Their first appearance will be at 9 a.m. Monday at the Johnston County courthouse in Smithfield.

ARLINGTON, Texas, June 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Kay-Yut Chen, a renowned behavioral and experimental researcher from Yahoo! and Hewlett-Packard, will join The University of Texas at Arlington's College of Business in the Information Systems and Operations Management Department in the fall.
Chen's research merges the classroom and the boardroom. He expects to continue to work with Yahoo Labs and HP on research projects that will bring both scientific and business values.
Chen is the author of "Secrets of the Moneylab: How Behavioral Economics Can Improve Your Business." His work, outlined in the book, is becoming increasingly popular. The research has been featured in Nature, Entrepreneur, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek and Scientific American.
"A lot of people in business will tell you that they made a 'gut' decision," said Chen, who has doctorate and bachelor's degrees from the California Institute of Technology. "Sometimes those decisions are good ones. Sometimes they aren't. I try to explain why people make the decisions they do in business and how we can predict those decisions. Providing those data-driven insights to businesses is essential and allows them to thrive economically."
Chen's work shows how internal markets, innovative and high-quality data can shed light on and improve decision-making within a firm.
"More and more businesses are depending on analytics in making decisions and not just at the executive level, but with managers and even entry-level employees," Chen said. "Data is increasingly important. Science can help us to study how companies use that data, and how to use it better."
Chen identifies challenges to his approach as well, and meets them head-on.
"Many of the most important consequences of a decision are difficult to measure, things like trust and reputation," Chen said. "Figuring out how to quantify and value those things is a pivotal challenge."
Business Dean Rachel Croson said attracting someone from the business world will help students because Chen has experienced the realities of managing in a high-profile business.
"His groundbreaking research has produced monetized and tangible results for his employers," Croson said. "His work has generated millions of dollars for his companies. His ability to teach our students to do the same will significantly enhance their employability, and their future career paths."

Gloucester painter/artist Tricia O'Neill and her husband Steve Brettler have taken their work to an entirely new level this week in downtown Boston.
O'Neill and Brettler, whose past works have included the art work and painting on signs at Fenway Park, are now working with artist Matthew Ritchie on a 70-by-76-foot mural titled "Remanence: Salt and Light," with the work being painted on an air intake structure for the I-93 "Big Dig" tunnel in the area of South Station.
The work, which is a joint project between The Institute of Contemporary Art and the adjacent Rose F. Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, will be on display for 18th months, and is the biggest project yet for O'Neill, who was painting Tuesday morning some 60 feet in the air.
The paint for the project was donated by Benjamin Moore through Ben's Paint in Gloucester.
Ritchie said he chose "Harbor Fog," "Pilgrim Haze" and "Eclipse" as his three colors from Ben's palette for the work, which he said will be a seascape straddling the border between abstract and representational art.

"I'm so proud of the way he's been improving," Smith said. "At the quarter pole, I asked him to run and he just dropped down and gave it to me. When we headed for home, I asked him for a little more, and he was right there for me. He ran super."
Favored at odds of 17-10 or less in his six previous outings, M One Rifle was sent off at 7-1 in the Malibu. He returned $16.20, $6.80 and $5. Misremembered, with Victor Espinoza in the irons, paid $4 and $3.20. Third-place Papa Clem, ridden by Tyler Baze, paid $6 to show.
"Winning this race is an exhilarating experience on a day like this," the 75-year-old Headley said in the winner's circle. "I've been trying to win the Malibu my whole life. I was confident at the sixteenth pole, and Mike Smith did a masterful job."
A multiple stakes winner at seven furlongs, Evita Argentina underscored her liking for the distance when storming from dead last in a field of 11 to take the Grade I La Brea Stakes for 3-year-old fillies by a widening two lengths under jockey Joel Rosario in 1:21.78.
A daughter of Candy Ride trained by John Sadler, Evita Argentina's three previous wins from five overall had been achieved at the elongated sprint distance, each in a stakes race.
Starlarks, ridden by Alex Solis, gained second in the La Brea, a head in front of Amazed by Grace, who had dueled with Kays and Jays for the early lead while handled by Garrett Gomez. Gaby's Golden Gal, the 5-2 favorite, never was serious factor.
"This filly likes to make one run," Rosario said of the winner, "so I try to just leave her alone early and keep her comfortable. She relaxed so well today when we came to the five-sixteenths pole, I had a lot of confidence."
"She likes it when she can close, when she has pace in front of her," said Sadler. She had no such luxury in her previous start, last month's Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, he pointed out. "There was no pace," Sadler noted. "Evita got some pace today."
The second choice at odds of 4-1, Evita Argentina paid $10.40, $5.40 and $4. Longshot Starlarks provided backers with $15.40 and $7.40. Amazed by Grace paid $4.80 to show.
Owned by the Halo Farms and Three Sisters Thoroughbreds, Evita Argentina, in securing her first Grade I victory, earned $150,000 which elevated her career total to $611,400 from a record of 6-1-0 in 13 starts.
One race later, M One Rifle's winning purse of $150,000 increased his career earnings to $378,572 for a partnership that includes Ed Bernstein and Bryan Greenspun as well as Headley. The Malibu winner's record became 4-1-3 in eight races.
Entrusted with 2-5 favoritism, The Usual Q.T. broadened his adoration of turf racing when running off with the Grade III, $100,000 Sir Beaufort Stakes for 3-year-olds to lengthen his win streak to six victories, all of them on grass.
Under a supremely confident hand ride by Espinoza, the gelded Unusual Heat offspring rallied from fourth on the outside turning into the stretch to score by one length while being timed in 1:34.58. Gallant Son edged Massone by a neck for the place in the field of nine.
Before being turned into a turf router by trainer James Cassidy, The Usual Q. T. had been winless in five starts. His victory in the Sir Beaufort followed successes in the Grade II Oak Tree Derby and Grade I Hollywood Derby at Hollywood Park as the string of wins reached five.
Victory No. Six paid $2.80, $2.40 and $2.10. Gallant Son, handled by Mike Smith, paid $8.20 and $5.60. Massone, with Garrett Gomez up, returned $3.20 to show. Owned by Don Van Kempen and partners, The Usual Q.T. boosted his earnings to $546,670 with the winner's share of $90,000.
He also provided Espinoza with his third win on opening day. "This gives me a lot of confidence," said the jockey. "I've been working really hard to get my business together for this meet, and it's great to get off to a good start like this on opening day."
Cassidy said he was not surprised by his gelding's rapid ascension over grass. "His style is consistent," he said. "What can I tell you? He's been fabulous."
Unbeaten Caracortado extended his winning streak to four while stretching out beyond a sprint distance for the first time with an overpowering victory in the 70th running of the $100,000 California Breeders' Champion Stakes for 2-year-old state-breds at 1 1/16 miles.
Accompanied by his regular rider, journeyman Paul Atkinson, Caracortado was being geared down while crossing the wire 1 ¾ lengths ahead of Alphie's Bet and covering the distance in 1:43.61.
Atkinson hustled the gelded son of Cat Dreams to the early lead, eased back into a tracking fourth position, then burst through an opening near the rail in the stretch to prove dominant as the 2-1 second choice in a field of 10. Favored La Nez, a filly who also had been entered against her own sex in Sunday's female version of the event, settled for third when flattening out after boldly rallying extremely wide around the far turn.
Trained by breeder and co-owner Michael Machowsky for Mr. & Mrs. Don Blahut and Machowksy's Lo Hi Racing, Caracortado paid $6.20, $4 and $3. Alphie's Bet, ridden by Solis, returned $12 and $5.60. The show price on 8-5 choice La Nez, with Gomez in the saddle, was $2.60.
"Before I ever ran him, I didn't think he'd be a two-turn horse," said Machowksy after Caracortado's winning purse of $60,000 increased his career earnings to $109,200. "He really exploded nice," commented Atkinson in the winner's circle.
The crowd enthusiastically cheered undefeated Breeders' Cup Classic champion Zenyatta who was paraded in front of the grandstand and into the winner's circle by Mike Smith after the day's sixth race. It marked her last scheduled public appearance before heading for the breeding shed in Kentucky. Zenyatta climaxed her brilliant career with a 14th consecutive triumph when defeating males in the $5 million Classic co-hosted by the Oak Tree Racing Association at Santa Anita on Nov. 7.
Earlier in the afternoon marking Santa Anita's diamond anniversary, Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally helped to unveil a life-sized bronze statue of John Henry, sculpted by Nina Kaiser. The likeness of the revered gelding, who won 12 stakes at Santa Anita during the 1980s while conditioned by McAnally, will permanently stand near the track paddock.
Lava Man, a former claimer like two-time Horse of the Year John Henry and whose career has shadowed that of "John," returns to the races in Sunday's Grade II, $150,000 San Gabriel Handicap at 1 1/8 miles on turf. The 8-year-old Lava Man, sidelined for 17 months, has undergone a series of progressive stem cell procedures to regenerate cartilage in his surgically repaired ankles. The earner of over $5.2 million is listed as the 7-2 third choice among seven entrants in the San Gabriel. First post for the nine-race program is at 12:30 p.m.

To the editor:
President Obama says we cannot tolerate the use of chemical weapons against a populace.
But could the president look the people of the world in the eye and admit that we have condoned, in two instances, our use of chemical weapons against others during the past 50 years?
During the 1970s in Vietnam, we sprayed 20 million gallons of Agent Orange over 3.6 million acres to defoliate trees and kill crops.
Agent Orange contains dioxin a chemical toxin. The effects of Agent Orange on the the men, women and children living in these sprayed areas and many of our own armed services personnel was deadly. The diseases and cancers contracted by these individuals include: heart, liver and respiratory diseases, prostate cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Hodgkins disease, leukemia and multiple myeloma.
In 1984, the manufacturers of Agent Orange agreed to a class action settlement of $180 million to the veterans who had been exposed.
In the 1980s, we were allied with Saddam Hussein in a war against Iran. We supported the Iraq military with money, weapons, advisers, tactical support on the ground — and chemicals. We turned a blind eye when Hussein used mustard gas, sarin and nerve gas against the Iranian troops. More than 20,000 Iranian soldiers died.
Our government needs to face up to its hypocrisy and restore our trust by telling the truth about our use of chemical weapons.
